THE CONSUMPTIVE’S REPLY.
Yes, dear one, lam dying. Hope nf times
! H-s whispered to me, in her syren tones,
But now, alas ! I feel the tide of life
Past ebhing fr in my he; rt. I know that soon
The green and fluwery curtain •■i the grave
Will close as softy round tny t iding form
As ihe calm sbadjwe of the evening hour
Close o’er the lading stream.
Oh ! then are times
When my heart’s tears gu.-h wildly ut tne thought
That, in tnc fresh, young morning-tide cf life,
I must res gn my breath. Tc me the earth
fs very beautiful. 1 love its flowers,
Its bird?, its dew-, its latnbows, its glad streams,
Its vales, its mountains, its gieen, waving woods,
Its moonlight clouds, its sunsets, and its soft
And dewy twilights; and I needs must mouru
To think that I shall pass away, away,
Aad see them nevermore.
But thou, the loved
And fondly cherished idol nf my life,
Thou dear twin-spirit of my de’itblehS soul,
’T will be the keenest anguish of my heart
To part from thee. True, we have never loved
With the wild passion (hut fills heart and bra’n
With flame so l madness yet my love for thee
Is my l.fe’e life. A deeper, hviur love
Has never sighed and wept beneath the stars,
Or glowed within the breasts of sain a in heaven.
It coes rot seem a passion of my heart,
Ilia a f portion of my soul. 1 feel
Tha'. I am but a softened shade of thee,
Aod that my spirit, par led from thine own,
Might fade end perish from the universo
Like a star-shadow when the s:ar itself
Is hidden by th*stcrru-cloud. Ay, I fear
1 bat heaven itself, though fil ed with love and Got-,
Will be to me all deso’ate, if thou.
Dear spirit art not there. I’ve oft"n prayed
I hat 1 might die before thee, for I fell
I could not dwell without thee on tha caith,
And now my heart is breaking at the thought
Os dyiug while live»t, for i <ee»
My life’s dear idol, tbst I cm not dwell
Without thee in the sky. Yet well I k ow
That love like ours, so holy, pure, and high,
So far above the passions cl the eirtb,
Can perish not with morial lite. In heaven
*T will brighten to a lovely star, and glow
In tbo far ages of eternity,
More beautiful and radiant than when fi st
’l’ wts kindled into glory. Oh • 1 love,
I dearly Io e thee—these wilt be my -ast,
My dying worrfs upon the earth, and they
W j| be my first when we shall meet in 1 at ven ;
And when ten thousand myriads of y»arj
Sh JI fade into the past eternity.
My soul will breathe the same dear v oids to thine,
1 love thee, oh I 1 love thee I
Weak and low
My pulse of life is flutreriog ut my he ut,
And aooa ’twil cease forever. These f.int words
Are ih-i last ech'jes of the spirit’s chot Is
Stirred by the breath of memory. B* ai me, lore,
I pray thee, to yon open wincow now,
Tha’ I may loon on:e more on na'ure 1 sue
And listen to her gen'ie music tune,
Her boly voice us love. How 1 e vitif il,
How ve.y beautiful, are earth und sea,
And the o’er.irching sky to one whos*» ey»s
Are soon to close upun the scenes of tune I
You blue lake sleeps beneath the iluwar-crowned
hill
With bis sweet picture cn her breast; the white
And rosy c!o*;ds are floating through the air
L ae cars of nappy spirits ; every leaf
Aod flower are colored by (been.ns in haes

By thoughts of Paradise ; an 1 the fur ti les

From the city’s strife and dm, al! ye weary Toilers

From ihe prison house of Care with its never ceas

From tlie moral desert flee to the beautiful and tree
Land where inQjcence and Giee, dwell together ev

To the land of beauty come, where in summer glades
at eve,
Fairies sirg with sylvan gods, while the balmy
zephyrs grieve;
To the land ot hill and dell, where the Muses love
to dwell.
And in numbers sweet to tell tales of beauty ever
more.
Where the tiny wavelets sing songs of pyfuinessand
glee,
While the birds on buoyant wing chant a chord*
wild and tree;
Where in *»ft Elysian bowers zephyrs woo the bud

Crowning with delight the hours, gliding stealthily

Here, in nature’s wide domain, Love and beauty ev

Making bright each lonely cot, lighting up each syl

Here before the fuce of 111, Autumn’s shade and
Winter’s chid,

Nature’s storehouse lies before yon, Nature bids you

Peace and plenty ye shall find, balms to soothe a

Care and sorrow leave behind, Siu, Despair, and

Come ye Toilers, worn and weary, taeta enjoyment

Smiling Health await* to greet ye when the brook

Where Aurora's golden train, flashing glory o'er the

Waketh many a thrilling strain, bright and joyous,
pure and free 1
Then arise, ye Sons of Labor, time shall bring thy

Scou the world shall own thee ruler, sovereign priuce,

Soon, for lo! thy morning star riseth proudly from

Soon shall thy triumphal car crush Oppression’s

This S>a e is invincibly disunion, and the prin

called yourself Smith?

an object to accomplish by being known in Perry
by the name of Jones.) Speaking a s ud. No.
Sir, you are mistaken, 1 was not in Drayton last
week, and never was called Sirri'h before, since
I was born. .My name is John Q Z. Janes, at
your service.
Squire Square 'Foes.— Well if that ain’t cool,
I don't know.

Thompson, old fellow, give us your bone. How
wags the world with you oi l horse?
Stranger.— l pres .me from the name yen call
me by, you must take me for some other person.
( H ‘ith a veiy c rand air.)
Cotton Looking astonished,) Your
name ain’t Thompson ?
Strange-.— No, Sir ee !
Ccthm Stalk.—lt I didn’t see you in Macon,
last Fri lay was three weeks ago, and have a
talk with you on Cotton Avenue, and if vou
didn’t tell me your name wag Thompson, 1 hope
1 in >y never see cotton at 12| again.
Stranger.— (Putting Lis hand to his
and whispering at Cotton Stalk) Come, Stalk)
Com?, Stalk, old fe;’, don’t be so hard on me.
I have good reasons for not being known as
Thompson, 1 i these diggins.
—■Mistakes in faces often occur. Nothing
more common. I once mistook General Jack
eon for my uncle, Colonel Jones, of Jonesboro.’
and never found out my mistake until I had
shaken thco'd man by the hand and talked the
weather aud the crops over ;or fifteen minutes
by a stop watch.
Major Hit-as-Penper.— Well It this an’t the
droilvst business 1 ever saw. You, neighbor
Square Toes, are certain this man is named
Smith ?
Squire Square Toes.—l 11 just swear that his
name was SxUth, on Saturday us last week, in
Drayton.

and le .res town in do ib'.e quick time
CoCo i Stalk —And 1 will swear, on a stack of
Bibles as high as Mosey Hill, that his name
w is Thompson, three weeks ago, last Friday, for
I was on a trade w i h him, for a tract ut land hi
the 25th of old Lee.
Maj yr Pepper.— The fell iw is a scoun
drel, and ought to In l arrested. Toe fact ol his •
assuming three diflerent names is prim* facie i
evidence of rascal ly. If you d n’t hear of his I

no judge.
At this time a man rides up in hasie and en
quires io r a fcliow named Smith? A few min

for Jones? A htrd. not long alter, reins up
and inqiires for Thompson? They ait agree that
he is ri tin » a skew-bald h >rse. a little swinneyed;
and each asserts that the man us many names
had sold hi n a Io- oi' la id, with fraudulent titles.
On comp (ring notes, they fi.id that each has'

most audacious scoundrel 1 ever laid eyes on.
Squire square Foes.—Yee, a snug berib in

‘ (. otton Stalk —Jail and Penitentiary both
too good fur him.
Mjjor Hd-ie*Pepper.—Too good for him
Yes, a "black j .ck c.nd a grape vine" is the beat

there are a great many Pharisees ’D Georgia, no
better than I am. One njt far uiT.
Maj)r P pper — Who, pray ?
Stnn^e-.— Tne Fire-eating party,” that
you and 1 belong 10, are playing the saint game
ex-ctiy. It calis iseif Democratic (to catch
gudgeons)in Dooly; Southern Rights in Hous
iun; Democratic Republican in Baker, and
States Rights in B.vb.
Now, 1 should rike to kno w why I have not the
same right to call my seif Smith, in D<»ulv ;
Thompson, in Bibo; an i Jones, tn Houston? M y
right name is Cheat’em, and the right name oi
our party is Disun'.on ; they are both unpopu
lar names—out. if the party has a right, be
cauav it is ashamed of its name, to change it
to suit the crowd its in, why hain’t I the same
privilege under the Constitution ? Tell me that.
Major! .Myabj:ct is to swiruLe tne people out

Penitentiary and Me. in the State House, I
can’t exactly seel! Ah tQv difference J see.
between him and me, is that he is tryirg to do
business on a larger scale than I am. However,
if 1 can escape me Penitentiary at Court, as far
as Me misses ths State Houss at the October
election, J shaii be satisfied.

' To trie People of Rlbert County.
Fellow-Cxtizems x-*I hivo been ca Ld on by
a large number of the people, to give through
> the public prints my pinions on the political
questions now dividing tft o people of Georgia.
I Having declared myself a candidate to represent
i you in the Legislature, I acknowledge your right
to know fully my views, and f respond cheerfully
to the call that has been made upon me. I hape
the time may never cbme in this country, when
the people wiil consent to surrender or waive
their right, to know ills opinion of their candi
dates, especially in times like these.
Moved by these consider® ions, I had resolved,
ns is well known to some of you, to publish my
' opinions in the newspapers, without being ques
i tioned, and I take the occasion oflered by the
questions propounded to the candidates, to carry
out previously formed intentions :
■ Ist. I am asked first as to my opinion of the
j Report and the five resolutions appended thereto,
I adopted by the Georgia Convention, in Decem
ber last. I approve the report and the resolu
tions referred to. My approval of them has
been frequently expressed i o the people. The
action Qi the Convention was the proper action
that Georgia ought to taken in the p em
isev, and such was my opinion before the Con
vention met. Its acti >n would have leceived
my voteaiH sanction if I had been a member
21. I am requested to state my opinion of the
truth of the following language used by the
southern Rights Convention assembled at Mil
ledgeville on the 28th of x Vlay last. “By the
acts of the late Congress known as the Com
promise measures, the Southern States being a
minority in Eedetal numbers, have been de
prjveiby high i and of all their interests in the
Territories acquired f oru Mexico ; have been
from their condition oi equably in the
Union, have been forced o surrender territory,
unquestionably and legi imately their own, to
the use and enjoyment’ ’ the hireling States.”
I do not believe this to be proper or
true. It charges no ies?, han the disgrace and
rubbery the Sql , waite I be-
li ;ve as expressed in the Report of the Georgia
Convention, that the of Georgia may
honorably auide by ihe general scheme of paci
fication contained in the Compromise measures.
3d. Entertaining (he foregoing opinions, I, ol
course, do not believe Georgia or the Southern
Scales should adopt any measures of rcdiessfor
the past.
4th, The fourth question propounded to the
candid ties is intended to elicit their views res
pecting the Southern Congress or Convention,
recommended by the Nashville Convention.
Believing the Mate of Georgia and the other
Southern State’ may acquiesce in the Com
promise measures, and that it will promote
their best interests to do so, ido not approve,
advise or sanction the recommendations to hold
anotaer Southern Contention.
sth. I am asked which of the two partiesnow
organized in Georgia, do I consi ler myselt con
nected with, and with which will I a?t if eie-fted.
From ihe opinions which I have express; d, ihe
answer to this question w mid be readily ini- r
red. The ConstitutioiMd Union Party is orga.-
ized upon the principles contained in the Re*’«ur.
and five Resolutions, adopted by the Georgia
i onvenrion, and that Report and those Resolu
tions having al ways receive I my hearty approba
tion, I consider myself connected with that Par
ty, and shall adhere to, aritd act with them as
long as they sustain the principles they have
av .wed. Tnough ac'ing with that Party it is
well known I hive Ir q iently expressed objec
tions to Mr. Cobb, their candidate for G ivernor,
yet in chousing between the two candidates, 1
pn fer him to his oppon/nt.
•T » the sixth and seventh questions, I will
briefly state. 1 would bn gratified to see the agi
tation of the slavery questions cease at the
North and •South, provided the Compromise
measures are fairly enforced. With this the
South woub' be and should be satisfied. Un
Fuch conditions the Union us it is would add to
our honor, and saiety and I should be sa iafied
witn, and willing tj abide by it.
Very respectfully, your obliged fellow citizen,
Hsiuv R. Deadwyleb.
Mr. Cobb iu Thomasville.
The following, account of Mr. Cobb in
Thomasville, which we find in the Tallahassee
Sentinel, wi.l be read with interest and delight
by his (r ends throughout (he State :
Ma. Good, at —Taere was a
very forg“ aa eroblage at Tho.nuß«ille on Saturday
I .s’, the 19‘ta ihst., to bear Mr. Cobb, the Union can

attain'd the »• ry dis’ioguished position of Sp aker of

Mr. Cobb is a n.an of yoqth al appearance, appa

happy himself, and make all coruf stable ar und him
tba i the well read staiesm m and astute politician.
There was no debate at Thwasville. The resist
ance men, represented by Mr . Love, stated to the
au Hence that they had invtsd discussion, but Mr.
Uobb had peiemptcniy deeti ied’t. Mr. Cobb ex
plained that he t.ad been veryanxiius for o dis
cusrion upon anythin- like wt terms; and accor
dingly in rite outset of the canmss, he had invited
Gov. Me Dona d to travel with irm, •nd address
the people in any order he desire; or. if he
did not wi>h locoibi , to upline any one of bis friends,
taking hfe oftiJce io thtf >tn»e, 3d represent lii n. Doth

and j islice to himself end his triends forbade it
Whenever a dn s cus.-ioa w s ffered up>n nnv thing
like fair princ«p'es it wool I be gladly accepted.
With this explanation, Mr Cobb proceeded to cx •
amine the principles edabli bed hy Georgia, in re
terrace to slt»verv in the and then to
compare tlie*e prtncip'es with the f roviftons of the
adjustment mensuree—proving con-lusivelv that
these provisions not only did not co. Ilict wi:h, but
carried out the requite uedl-* ot Geor.ia, in tier vari
ou* resoiu'ion* upon the sub ect; aud that their re
sistance in- n, in denouncing these rae.-isur*’* ns un
constitutional, t> nd taeir friends us traitors to the
South and Georgia, had crosssd (heir own trail, ami
nvolved themselves io a m.tze of .absurdities and
st* f-‘o.atra helions Thes“ were tbs views • f the
Ccmpromi:c taken by the Georgia U n'enttan,
wh*it they declared that Georgia could honorably
acquiesce in it, end to the action of that Couvenuo •
he gave his warm and be<rty ui p oval Hs was
proud of it. Tne Mcl oaald Convention had leaolved.
on the contrary, that the provisions of there ad ust
ment measures bad degraded Georgia from a cun li
dmon otequality iu the Federal I nion, aud bow
then, ccubl they i-cq liesce :u them ! He wa« bound
in retpect for them io believe that they would ac
quiesce not a moment longer than they were in tne*
inmority. He knew no people or political party :n
Georgia, who would qitetly acq lienee in their own
degrada'ioi). Be Would be sony to believe that
mere were any su:h. If the people wis-b ;d the
Georgia platform maintainei as ihe position of that
Pute io Hie Union, th-y rauit sustain the friends of
that plats >rm, and not its foes.
The Union could be sustained, not by bolding it up
as the enemy, but as the friend and the protector oI
the Peo le. (ient'emen were mivtaken who called
themselves the friends of the Union and yet main
tuined they were degraded and oppressed by it. A
seuse <f degradatim, oppression anJ wr corn ports
nut with the princip.e of icve, and when the minds
of the People of Georgia siiall be convince I tbit the
fiositiou of the government towards them is that of an
oppressor and a wrong-d.or, thev will have dene
with it. The resist :nce party of G -o’-gii mani>est
the natural tendency of their sense of degradation
through the government, iu making the mems ol its
destruction a prominent topical discussion and point
of doctiiae. Secession was the offspring of a spirit
of discontent ar d dts re to dcs’roy tue government..
Why else, ha? it not been brought forward befo e ?
Why talk of means witnout a contemplated end ?
I i regard to secession he b id found no such right in
the C->n titut on, aud it had been eq tally repud ated
Bt-a cotistituftonal bt oy Madison, Crawford and
aackecn. If. however, by secession was meant a
r ght above and beyond the const it u* ion, tie bad noth
ing to say against it. In the tv nt of secession of a
Siate, a u-w question would bj piesentad tithe peo
pleot Georgia, more?o.einn and weighty than they

Mr. ChiiMtntik’H AciCptance.
Ellijay Ga., July 7th, 1351.
frenf/emen:—l received your letter on my ar
rival at this place, informing me of inv nomina
tion as the candidate of the Uotn'i utional
Union party to represent the fifth Congressional
I district in the next Congress of the United
Statee, and asking iny acceptance of the same.
1 feel profoundly grateful to the Convention
for this manifestation of their confidence, and 1
assure you and the Convention, whose organ
you are, that 1 should not du justice to my own
teeiings, and to the cause we are mutually en
gaged in defending, were I to decline the honor
t< nd:red me. 1 accept, therefore, the nomina
tion, with the assurance that I wi!! to the ut
most of my ability, support and defend the
great conservative principles of the Union party
ai developed by the action of the Georgia Con
vention in December last. I shall not attempt
at this time, a discussion of the various ques
tions involved in the ac’ion, but will content
myself I y repeating that I will give to each and
all these measures my ardent support. I have
everfe’t proud that I was a Georgian, but more
especially do I honor and reverence her since
her action in that Convention. It was the en
viable privilege of Georgia, when this g:eat
confederacy of States was shaken from centre
to circumference in consequence of the dangers
growing out of the agitation of the questions of
Slavery and the un ettled state ot the public
mind relative to the adfiistment measures en
acted by Congress, first to speak out upon this
question The eyts of the great body of the
\mericm people enchained upon Geo r gia in
•‘hopeful reliance” upon her patriotism, whilst
many were endeavoring to rush the ship of
Slate into rhe vortex of dissolution. It-was un
der such circumstances ihe Convention met.
Never had the State upon any former occasion,
presented such an array of talent and patr ou'sm
is upon this. They came together not as gladi
ator meeting gladi itor upon the arena, but as
patriots who loved their country better than par
t-
ner action was as the pouring of oil upon the
troubled waters, a id was characterized by “Wis
dom, Justice and Moderation.” She laid hold
us the helm of ihe ship of State, arid steered her
safe to port; her action was hailed with univer
sal applause ty the patriots of the country.
Scarcely any personal the adjournment of that
Convention, had he been told that a formidable
party would be organized against the noble and
praiseworthy position it assumed would hive
for a moment behoved it. But it is nevertheless
true, that the flag of disunion has again been
unfurled to the breeze, and the patriots of the
country are caded upon to buckle on their ar
mor in ihe defence of the Union.
In this contest I shell be found rallying to the
rescue of the Union, and under the broad stripes
and brilliant stars of the American flig shall
plant myself to resist, to the utmost of my feeble
abilities, tue doctrines of disunion and seces
sion.
Gentlemen, I contemplate if not providential
ly hindcied, to canvass the district, and by the
aid of the friends of the Union, hope to be able
successfully to vindicate the great conservative
principles of tha Uni n party, and should my
nomination be ratified by the people, every obli
gation imposed on me by tne Constitution of the
United States, and all the laws passed in strict
conformity tn that instrument, shall b. faithfully
carried out.
Accept. Gentlemen, the assurance of my high
consideration. Your obedient servant,
E W Chai-tain.

A Leaf from the Past.
Our contemporary of the Augusta Republic
seems to be remarkably fond of antiquated re
cords. He is eternally quoting from the wri
tings or speeches of some one to prove that he
h»s changed. So passionately fond is he of this
fivorite pursuit, that some persons believe Aim
to be immaculate and tin haiigeable. We heard
a gentleman the other da ' sav, that Smythe hid
always been a .Southern Rights man that he had
always recognised the right of a State to secede
from the Union whenever it thought pre per. In
deed, we sometimes think that our contemporary
oi the Republic persuades himself int > the same
belief. So strenuous is he now in his advocacv
ot certain doctrines and nis denunciations of
those who happen to difl'er from him, that one
would almost suppose him to be the original
Sir Oracle." The realer may well imagine
our astonishment Ute other day. after spending
an hour over some of his e aborate homi.ies,
when we accidentally opened a file of the Federal
U”ion for January, 1813, and found there the
proceedings of an old la-htoned Jackson meeting
1.1 Monroe county. At this meeting, Mr Smythe
—the same Air Smythe— seems to Lave figured
qai e largely He was one ot a committee that
reported the following Preamble and Resolutions,
which were adopted with great unanimity. The
people of Georgia can now undoistand what was
the platform of the editor of the /Xugusta Re
public in 1833. Our coutemparary cannot plead
infa t y either, for he subsequently occupied this
same platform, if we mistake nut, as a candi
for the Legislature. But to the record. Here
are the Preamble an J Resolutions. Read them
Whereas, the prosperity, independence and
security of these United States can be cflccied
and maintained only by the c mtiauance of the
Union and the preservation of the Constitution
and form of G ivernment established by th • wis
dom, patriotism and firmness of our fathers, by
whose nol le exertions their descendants have
reaped national prosperity, renown and individual
happinsss :
And whereas, the State of South Carolina by
its Convention and the proceedings of its Legis
lature in ob-4ietice thereto, has rushed upon a
rash, unconstitutional and dangerous policy—
one calculate 1 to des;roy the tairest hopes of
liberty, and subvert the wisest, happfow Qjvftrn

And whereas, the President of the United
Stales has issued his Proclamation declaring the
unconstitutionally or such proceedings so far
as they regard the assumed power of a Stale to
nullify an act of Congress passed according to
all the usual forms of na itinal legist tiion, as re
quited by the Constitution of the Union:
And whereas, in all cases of danger to the
Union, or to our people, it becomes the duty of
our citizens to guard against both by all proper
means
Therefore Resolved. That this meeting do en
t.’rely disapprove us the absurd and heretical doc
trines advanced in a certain extraordinary ord*-
nance passed and promulgated by the South
Carolina Convention, is being calculated to dis
solve the Union, retard the progress of liberty
and foster the sue.s of anarchy arid ruin.
h’ciolved, That we entirely approbate the
Proclam i ion of tho President of the United
States bring entirely constitutional, timely and
necessary~that in that aide document we re
cognise the spirit of the patriot, statetman and
lover of the Union.
Resolved, That our sympathies and feelings
are with the Union Party of South Carolina
that we highly approve ol their course in Con
vention in mtintaining their rights, and their
career in general in con ending lor and support
ing the supremacy of the laws of the United
States against the revolutionary measures of
unholy ambition.
Resolv d, That we highly approve the course
pursued by the Hon. John Forsyth and tftose
who acted with him, in sec .-di ig from the late
body that convened in Milledgeville—the seif
styled Georgia Convention.
Resolved, That these proceedings he pub’ished,

The Tricks of thk Disosioniits —Our
readers will recollect that ia>t year the South
Caro'ina orators who fijnred in Georgia urged
ibis State to take the lead i i the proposed dis
union movement, and pledged that South Car
olina would follow. The disunioniss of
Georgia fought the battle with that understand
ing. Their press generally avowed itself in
favor of disunion, and hundreds of the leaders
did Hie same thing Being de'eated in their
schemes, the«e very men are now encouraging
Carolina to d > what Georgia was to have done;
e., I - secede, and thus drag Georgia into the
vortex of disunion. This is an old trick. Il
was tried iu the days * f N ill.fica'ion. In the
Federal Vni-n of January 3rd, 1-33, we find it
b ated that “immediately after Messrs. For
syth, Cumming and others had wi h Jrawn from
the celebrated anti Tariff Convention at Mil
ledgeville, the Nnll fiers despatched one of
their body to Columbia. South Carolina, with
instrucilcns to urge tho Legislature of that
State immediately to nullify, as the best means
of exciting the people of Georgia and drawing
them to heir support.”
Caruana ook the messenger at his word and
immediately passed her ordinance of null fica
•ion. The people of G »orgia, however, wpto
not thus to be dragooned into r ea-urea ; and
the i,on«>eqnance was, that in Hie elections ol
i-33, the Union Party had an immensely in
creased ro j rity* As it was in the days of
nullification, bo we predict it wi I be again
The treason is more palpable now thin men.

Tlxe Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions
Mr. Editor: In examining the causes which
prompted the passage of those rattier nc-table
resolutions, I ha’te had occasion to refer to the
contemporaneous history, excitements and
controversies, in the early days of our govern
ment. These resolutions had their origin in
opposition to some of the prominent measures
of the ad.uinistra ion of President Washington,
and wern brought to light a! an early period of
the administration of President John Adams.
Na party has ever attempted to rally unde’’
these resolutions, unless it wa= a party making
war upon the government or political institu
tions of the country; and akhough, from a
multiplicity of issuer, Jefferson was elected
President, he did not carry out the meas
ures suggested by the Virginia resolutions du
ring his administration. They were conceived
io the spirit of insubordination an I misrule,
and when strictly applied, produce anarchy
and ruin.
To give your readers a clear view of the
objects coo emplated by the Virginia resolu
tions of December 21, 1798, I submft the fol
lowing summary, taken from the “Instructions
from the General Assembly of Virginia, to thv
Senators from the Stain of Virginia, in the
Congress of the United States?’ After en
forging upon the several poin'.s it.reived, the
instructions conclude thus :
. “Deeply impressed with these opinions, the
General Assembly of Virginia instruct the Sen
ators an--1 request the Repiescotatives frum this
State in Congress, to use their best eflbrts—
“lst, To procure a reduction oi the army with
in the narrowest limits compatible with the pro
tection of the forts and the preservation of the
arsenals maintained by the United States; un
less such a measure shah be forbidden by tnfor
inatkr. ftut known to the public.
“2d, To prevent any augmentation of the
navy, and to promote any proposition for redu
cing it, as circumstances wid permit, within
the narrowest limits compatible with the protec
tion of the sea coasts, ports and harbors of the
United States, and of consequence a proportion
ate reduction of the taxes.
“3d, To oppose the passing of any law found
ed on,or recognizing the principle lately advanced
‘ that the common law of England is in force
under the government of the United States
excepting from such opposition, such particular
parts of the common law, as may have a sanc
tion from the constitution, so for as th“y are
necessarily comprehended in the It clinical phra
ses which express the powers delegated lo the
government, and excepting also such other parts
thereof as may be adopted as necessary and
proper for carrying into execution tho powers
expressly delegated.
“4th, To procure a repeal of the acts of Con
gress commonly called the Alien and Sedition
Acts.”
We now geo what were the objects of the
Virginia resolutions, or what induced their
adoption. Among these are, that tne army of
the Unite ! States was to be restricted to taking
care of the ports snd armories! That we were
to have no navy to protect our commerce or
our citizens on the high sess. or m foreign
climes, but our navy was expected to be alto
gether employed in the character of pilot gun
boats, to protect the “ sei coasts, ports and
narbors of the United Sta es !’
The clauses of H e Constitution which gave
to ConzreKS the power “ to raise and support
a’tnies,” “to provide and maintain a navy,’
would have been supremely ridiculous with the
cons’, uction which the Virginia r solutions
would have applied to them, but just such a
cot struction as would most agreeably suit tha
disunion'sts of ihe past or tho present day.—
They have a just horror of an army and navy.
“ No rogue er’e felt the baiter draw,
With good opinion of the law.”
While the Virginia and Kentucky Resolu
tions appear to be e<» much approved of by the
Southern Rights, Democratic and Southern
Rights, or Secession or Disunion party of the
South, have they ever asked themselves how
many cf tho Slates responded favorably to
those Resolu'ions ? For myself, I know of
not one, while on the contrary, se ren States
passed renolutions condemning the doctrines
advanced. Perhaps it msy be replied, that (he
memorable contest of 1 800, which resulted in
the election of Tho®. Jefferson over the elder
Adams, was n triumph for the principles of (he
Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions Jeffer
son received eight votes more (han Adams in
the Electoral Colleges. Dlr. Jefferson was
therefore elected—but were the principles ol
the Virginia Resolutions triumphant also ? If
so, were the army and navy brought down to
the requirements of Virginia? IPergthe Alien
and Sedition Laws even repeated 1 Nothing of
tne kind was dune. Even to this day, what has
been done in these particulars—nothing—no
thing. Then, why is so much said and so
much written about the V rginia and Kentucky
Resolutions? Sixty odd years of the opera
lion of ojf government would appear to be
more satisfactory to freemen than the specula
tive theories of a majority of members of a
couple of State Legiahtures. Tnese Virgi
ma ami Kentucky Resolutions had but few
vocates biyond the limits of the two S ates
wnich paesed them, and they descended to
their quiet home among the political rubbith of
the past, until its resujreclion by the South
Carolina patrio s in Hie rimes of Nullification.
They were again early shelv d, and we now
s-te them again galvanized into tamper<ry
hie and importance. What State in the Union
approbated them in 1832, except South Caro
lina? Even Virgin a and Kemucky disowned
them with South Carolina'sappLcaiion of them.
And the people of Georgia are called
upon by the Southern Rights or Disunion par
ty. to endorse aud rally around them. 1 can
not imagine he object of the Secessionists, if
it be not for iha purposo of making dupes and
fools of the worthy voters of the State. —
Against the Virginia and Kentucky R-suLx
lions, Suu«h Carolina Nullification und Disu
iiion, and the Southern Rights party of Geor
gia, and its Nashvihe Contention tfliliations
and Secession doctrines, I point with confi
dence and pride to tho Constitution of the

Putnam County Meeting. —Ata meeting
of the Union party of Putnam county, the
Hon. Jas. A. Meriwether, introduced the
foilowing resolutions, which we e unanimously
adopted by the meeting :
Whereas, parties in Georgia have now divided
upon the great question of the destruction of ihe
Union, the fisunion party maintaining that it should
be destroyed because of the several laws of Congress
organizing the territories of New Mexico and Utah,
settling the Texas Boundary, and the admission oi
California as a State, while the Union party main
tain that there is no sufficient cause to be found in
any or all < f ths.-e measures to lead the people into
revolution or civil war—therefore,
Resolved, That we approve the principles of the
Union parry of Georgia, and will give our support to,
aid use all honorable means to secure the election of
its candidate for Governor.
Resolved, That the attempts on the part of North
ern A o'bionists and Southern Disuniomsts to renaw
the agitation of the slavery q-ie tion, shows that these
ultras hive united for a common purpose to d sturb
the quiet of the country, t > endanger our rights of
property, and to destroy our Government.
Removed, That the refusal o' tint party which
nominated Mr. McDonald as their candidate for Go
vernor to abide by the action of the Georgia Conven
tion, settling a'l those vexed questions which hud dis
tirlcd the North and the South, ins greatly iin
pui’ed the rights of elaveh''lders to their property,
by presenting to Northern fanatics divisions amon-j
ourselves, and invi'in? a renewal ol their aggressions
npon our rights, because of these <iiv:sioi b.
Resolved, That the declaration by that Conven
tion that the compromise meai res of Ccngr m have
deprived He Southern Mates of all th;ir mterast in
the Territories acq lired from Mexico, Imre degra ied
them from their equality in the Union, and have
loiced them to surrender territory legit raately their
own—the deciara'ion thit (heir “object” is “at a I
hazards to mi’niain the iibert es and rights of ihe
peop’e of Geo gia” —which they eay have been vio

clearly that they in'end io reaisr to disunion when
ever they get the power. A<.d they have to defraud
the people into their scheme of disunion Uy prose sin?

Correspondince of the Chronicle Ik Sentinel.
Washington City, July 19 h, 1851.
The friends of ihe Union at the North, I fear,
are not yet seneibly irupressed wi h the dan
gers that threaten, and the troubles tHit are
ahead. They teem to think (hat we have
the woret and are filling into the same errors
that marked their party combinations before
the crisis. For instance, in the State of Penn
sylvania while ihe Democra.iß party prerente
a bold, independent platform of principles re
iativa to the Compromise, they hive put in
nomina’ion a man tinctured with Free aoiliim,
and as for as the records indicate, b as obnox
ious to the South as David Wilmot himself.—
Would Air. Bigler even now repudiate his past
course ou tliix subject, it would re’ieve hit
party from the imputation of being actuated
by the unworthy motive of catering to ihe Wil
mol ir.fluence. As it is, the fact is conceded
here, that the Free soil party will favor hi?
election, and the motive for his nomiua.ioo,
and his pe tinac ous si ence was, and is, to effect
tha: object. The South had a right to expect
better things from tha S ate cf Mr. Buchanan’s resi
dence —and while they will tender to hi co all praise
for his course upoa the slavery question, they csnno (
recognize either party at the North that courts Free
so:li3 in any shape or form. The very perpetu ty
cf the Union depends upon putting down those im
bued with hat dangerous fanaticism. You might as
we I expect t . keep fire in n m tgazine without en
dangering the establishment, as for either of the po
litical parties to bug to their bosem ths Free sobers
of the North, without, at same day, producing the
very difficulties through which we have passed
Resolutions and platforms are of little value unless
strictly adhered to in their prac'icnl bearing upon
men and measures. The Whigs of New York mivht,
for instance, resolve ‘hat the Compromise wma final
s ttlement of the slavery question; but if they were
at the same time lo make Win. 11. Seward their
standard berrer in a Gubernatorial election, without
any distinct annunciation from him that be ha J aban
doned his former views, and almost exfressed
of securing the Free-soil influence, it would
have little or no effect in restoring quiet to the coun
try or in giving to the South a firm and healthy se
curity against future encroachments. So far as the
Whigs of Pennsylvania ara concerned, they are not
as well off in the programme of their princ’ples and
i finitely worse in their candidate. Pennsylvania
must do better before the South can look to her for
succor.
In Ohio, the Whigs have proven themselves un
woithv of Southern confidence, so far as tha actnnof
their Convention is an index, and I fear that many
cf the Democrats in that State are no better. 1 look
upon Ohio as the most thoroughly Free soil of any
Norths'll State, and al the same time some of the
truest friends of the South have been her represent
taiives in Congress. I trust tae conservatives of both
parties in that Sure wiil unite their foices and fight
ler the Union.
Iu Vermont, the Whigs have planted ihemselves
upon t.e l-road, National platform of the friends of
the Compromise, and will no doubt sweep the State
by -n overwhelming majrrity.
In New Hampshire, the Democrats occupy the po
sition taken by the Whigs of Vermont upui the
slavery question, and will receive, as they are hon
estly en’nhd to, the confidence of every true friend
of the Government. I hoje their majority maybe
without a paraliei.
In Connecticut, both parties are more cr less dis
f»osjd so couit Free-soihsm, and will never be pure
un il they come oui independently and repudiate it.
In Indiana, Illinois and most of the other North
Western Slates, wh-rc the influence of Douglass is
at work, a heafthv, sound state of things is toe con
sequence. The noble stand he took at Chicago inl
ine liately after the passage of the fugitive slave Itw,
has been appreciated and tn ich good accomplished
It is a remarkable fact, that in almost every instance,
where the tro’h has been iromptly spoken and the
miserable fanaticism of Northern politicians exposed,
the people have sustained the champion wherever
he may h«ve been. So will it ever be, if toe politi
c ans of the North would take a decid’d stand in fa
vor of what is right under tt»e Consti ution. They
would control public optaion, for to them the people
look for information, and are in a great measure go
verned by their opinions.
In the other Northirn States no new developments
have taken place indicating what will be the action
of tho respective parties touching this alarming and
exciting suiject. Os one thing 1 am confident, the
friends of the Unian must , lam themselves upon the
Compromise irrespective of panics, or th? Union is
gene. An Observes.

Rome, Ga., July 24, 1851.
The Superior Court of Floyd is now in
session, and consequent upon it, is a numerous
coPeotion of people at this place. Law and
politics are the absorbing topics—the latter
taking precedence a little. Yesterday, Messrs.
Chastain and Stiles opened the campaign,
und gave their respective views upon the
issues of the day. Mr. Stil s professes to be
hove that the pol cy of the Union party wi'l
result in n dissolution of the Union ; that it is
i lentical wi h that of Seward, G ddings, Hale,
and the Abolition party of (he North : that it
advocates aubrnissiou to “most unjust, the
most agert*B-uve measures in the world.” And

He claims also tube, and always to have been,
a Democrat—*t consistent Democrat—but con
tends that a State has the constitutional right
io secede« a principle at variance with the
known sentiments of every Democratic Presi
dent fom Jefferson to i’o k. Mr Stiles was
a J ickson Democrat, but recognises a right
which Jsck«on unequivocally denied. Yet he
is a “ro/«s stout Democrat!” Mr. Stiles says
the United States Government ts simply an

be governed by them, and lo be superceded
whenever they -ee proper to withdraw from
it the "power us Attornry" under wh ch it acis’
In o’he words, Mr. Sules has deiLonstruted.
doubtless to his own sat i»faction, that the
American Government is no government al
all, but a subject of the States only ; that the
laws of the United Stan s aro not tbe “sn
pieme laws of the land,” and are binding only
at the option of each individual Slate; that
the States themselves are sovereign* and there
is no po ver to control them ; that they are
■supreme, ruling with despotic power not only
(heir own cozens, out the General Govern
ment or as Mr. Sales terms it, the general
i aL'ent !’*
Tms ia about the position which I under
stand Mr. Stiles to occupy in reference to
Stale and General Government powers. It is
a position which 1 every reason to be
lieve, wiil ensure bis defeat in the coming
election, and which, if espoused by Mr. Me
Donald, will render him and his party even
more obnoxious than they now are to the
voters of Georgia.
Mr Chastain sustained a triumphant posi
tionin the debate. Indeed, he based his ar
gument aright at the very outset. Ho stood
upon the Georgia Platform, and recognised
the right of her citizens to determine upon
the extent of their wrongs, and to say what,
if any, should be the mea’ure of ledress.
Tne pen pie of Georgia in their sovereign ca
pacity had dec ared in favor of ’he Con-titu
lion and the Union; had a-iserte 1 that Gear '
g a could, with nonor to her.-olf, abide bz the
Compromise acts of Congress ; a.. 1 had de
termined (hat, so long a« (ha provisions of
those acts were fully and fairly carried out,
they would stand by the Unisn. Mr. Cta-Hain
did not presume to question tbe property us
such semiroents, so expressed; he received
them as the true Southern docrine—as the
doctrine of State rights and United States’
fights. lie did not assume ihe right tot'll

would not have been f und contending lor
ihe privilege of representing the interests of
those with whom he differed in princip e, end
whose measure he could not carry out with
out a sacrifice of self-respect.
It was appa ent to everyone, that tha posi
tion of Mr- Chastain was a more noble one
than iha of h s opp jnen’. Mr. Sti’es ei'h«r

Designs of EngUnd towards thia Coun
ty.
TOICE or A DKMOCRAT FROM ZSCLtMU,
The Richmond Enqifrer publishes a letter
from Judge Dunean, one < f the comt»i M j onßri
of Virginia to the World's Fair, in which ha
complaips. and it teems to us with much jus
tice, t*-at Mr. Riddle, whether with or without
the approbat on of the American Minister, ho
does not know, has placed Horace Greeter as
foreman of the panel of American jurors. -‘The
known advocate of doctrines the most disor
ganizing and the most horrible and disgusting
that can be conceived by a Southern man,out
ranks us all; and, as if designedly to make the
insult more poignant, he rn ly be seen locked
arms with a negro, attending abolition meet
ings at Exeter Hall, or some other place where
those worthies assemble, to denounce the
Southern S.a'es and advocate disunion. I had
become so disgusted that I determined to with
draw from the Exhibition, and accordingly
went over to France, and whilst th ire I met
with the London Ob.erver of the 26 h ol May,
containing an ar'icle which I cut out and send
to you. I showed it to Mr Rives, our Minis,
ter in Paris, and explained to him the condi
ipn of things in London, as I understood them.
He seemed to think that the Americans in Lon
don from the Southern Stales ought to take
some action on the subject.”
The London correspondent of the New York
Express, referring to the same subject, uses the
following language:
“There is something said, we hear, of a
meetinc of the American Commissioners to the
Great Exhibition from the various Slates, to
express their dissatisfaction in regard io some
i nattier I going on wi bin the Crya al Pakca.
From what wo can learn, the appointment
here of Horace Greeler, as the head of the
American Committee of Jurors does not meet
with general approbation. The Southern
Comtnisdonera take especial offence it ap
pears, particularly as Mr G has just addressed
an Anti Slavery meeting here, in which very
improper and discourteous language was em
ployed in relation to the United Sta’es, and
resolutions were passed denying to a.I ediz-ns
tfihe Southern Stales the rites of hospitality
in London, end avowing a determine ion to
iuvi'e instead, lo their tables here, all the col
ored perrons to be found in the vicinity I We
givo you ihe facts, and leave yourreaders and
the Express to indulge in their own commentu.”
Judge Duncan proceeds in his letter to ex
press his conG lent belief‘ Mat there ezietsa
filed determination on ths i art of the Englitk
Government, backed by the popular sentiment
of the nation, and by the prees, to dissolve the
American Union ” We desire to call the ape
c.al attention of the reader to the extract which
we annex from Judge Duncan's letter upon
this point. We have not now end we never
have had any more doubt of the fact that such
is the deiign of Great Britain than we have
that there is such a country. In making these
remarks, we claim lo be exempt from ad ir
rational priue and prejudice against Enßand,
the most powerful umpire of modern l-rnes,
and a land of whose valor, learning and genius,
we a Americans are justly proud. But hu
man nature —the human nature of government
as well as individuals, is ever the same, and
inseparable from it are self-interest and the
love of power. These oassions have al
ways predomintted in the national character of
England, and are now as strong as ever Even
supposing that sue regards with complacency
he loss of the Ame ican Colonies, ins not in
human nature that she should be willing to see
them rival her in all the elements of national
power, and especially to sna ci from her hand
tl at commercial supremacy which is the foun
dation of her greatness, and of which she is
so justly proud. And when the dreaded rival
holds and propagates the odious faith of Re
publicanism, proving every day in the face of
the oppressed of the Old World, nolotdy that
man can govern himself, but that he is most
prosperous and happy when he does so, thus
endangering tho permanency of 11 onarchy and
aristocracy, it is natural not only that England,
nut that all Europe should desire our down
fall.
And how is that object, essential not only to
the prosperity, but to tne existence of the
English government, to be effected I Every
one familiar with British history, or with the
history of any o’her powerful country, knows
that the tnoilo upon which they act is that
“ the end justifies the means.” no matter
whether 'he means be fraud, treacheiy or
frree Tne course of tho British Govern
ment in the West Indie-, and the history of all
ihe great powers of Europe prove this truth.
But how is Great Britain to nd herself of her
commeiicial rival, and deliver the world from
tile fountain of republicanism which banes
from these shores T These objects cannot be
accompl'shed by force. The only conceiva
ble mode of effecting them is by our civil strife.
She has got u> out of her way as a msnufaciur
ing rival by the humbug of free trade, and she
now hopes to overthrow u« commercially and
poli'icalfy by Disunion. The slavery subject
presents an entering wedge. Hence her tie*
born zeal for Africans wnose fnhers were
kidnapped and sold by her own ships upon
these shores. She loses no < pponuoity. by
books, pamph'ets, and perhaps by hired
agents to inliime the Norh against slavery,
and this is all that it is necessary for her to do
in order lo accomplish herobjict. She need
send no agents to the South. She sees tha- if
she cm make 'he anti slavery agitation al the
North general.it will drive Hie South I'mm the
Unon.und Great Britain i- frilling to leave to
future developments wh eh of the sec ions
she w.ll console for national ruin by taking
under her “ nursing care.” That que-iion
will be decided by her interest, but, bowe-er
it may be decided, her own object w 11 be gain
ed in removing forever a dreaded rival from
tiir path With Jtdge Duncan, we say :
* The true policy of the South is to stick to
the Union.” But to the extract:
After referring to his intention, if possible,
to hjld a meeting, denounce the proceedings
of the abolitionists, and seek inform* ion from
the Atn erican minister, Judge Duncan says:
1 believe, nay, I am confident, that there exists a
fixed determii alien on the part of the Eng ish Go
vernment, Lacked by the popular sentiment of the
nation, an J by tt a press, to diss Iva ih'j American
Union. She id, by all the appliance* which she can
bring to bear, and Heaven Knows they arc many and
powerful, at thia time i Doing abolition In the North
and disunion in th" South. The proceedingsol the late
Charleston Convention were bailed by the ptople here
with the mast extravagant toy —tney look now to the
disunion of the Slates as a fixed fact—that tliedisrup*
tion of the great Republic is al hand—that a dead y
antagonism will take place amonz the State**, and
that wb Ist warring with eich other Engl md will
gather the spoils. Stu turns to the Ciystul raises
where she has proudly displayed the products of her
n imeroua colonies, and with especial delight io that
part of it in which she >ias deposited ths epods of
nations she had plundered, and atie looks to the time
wi»cn she may add to it the sjioilsof a rival whom she
hates with the bitterest hatred, but wbcm she fears.
Cao it be p*ai.jle that our South Carolina brethien
arc so blind as not to perceive, that the dissolu.iou of
the Union will be the destruction -f slavery, end
every thing thev hold dear? South Carolina may
f rm a freely with England, receive Engli-h jr Arc
lion and English fabrics in exchange for her co tool
All th’G the English have already, through her agents,
rorni e 1 her. But let South Carolina get wituin
o coils of this great Boa Constrictor, and she will
find the embrace is death. Her slaves will ba ret
Irre as ceriain as the slaves of the British Weu lu
