UlMipefMW "W». I.
Having shown that Intempemnoe la a gnat pub
lic evil, and that it ia the legitimate object of legis
lation to aim at the removal of such evil* by wiae
taw*, the question ariaca what can be done to
wards thia end in reference to intemperance.
And here the subject ueturally presents itaelf in
three views. 1. Laws having reference to drun
kenness Itaelf. 1. Laws regulating the manufac
ture and importation of ardent spirits. *. Laws
rafraiatinff tbe mlc of ardent np»rit».
In reference to the first, the analogy of Legisla
tion, in general, wh'wh makes the vice that it seeks
to suppress penal, would indicate that the Legisla
tive voioe should pronounce drunkenness a crime.
Although thia has been done in soma highly oivil
ized communities— and although the effect would
be to diminish tha eaaaa of Intemperance in pub
lio—sod although a system might possibly be de
vised of reclaiming the offender—yet, under pre
sent circumstance*, owing to the prevalence of
thia vice, it may be thought better for Legislative
action to take a different direction.
Id reference to the aeooud—aa alcohol ia useful
tor many purposes, and as a Stats cannot interfere
with the importation of anyartioleof trade, noth
ing oould be done by the Legislature of any State.
Tho only remaining form that Legislative action
. could assume, it in referenoe to the isle of ardent
spirits within its borders.
Shsll this proposed sotion contemplate the whole
State, or only such counties as petition its inter
forenoe for their relief! It would certainly be bet
ter for the act to be general, and carrying its health
ful influence to every section of the State. But if
there should be tny reinctanoe ou the pert of the
Legislature to pais so general an sot, because they
wish merely to be the exponents of public senti
ment, then wbat will thia principle consistently
require! Will it not demand that, in case the
majority of any oonnty earnestly desire an act
prohibiting tho retail of ardent spirits within its
limits, that its prayer should be granted f
Some have supposed, I think erroneously, that
the present movement in the State, on this sub
ject, contemplates Legislative aotion by the peo
ple in their primary capacity. Such action wonld
be unconstitutional; for the law-makiDg power
Inheres in their representatives, met in General
Assembly. But Ido not so understand the pro
posed action. They wish that the Legislature
should act, and by their action, modify the present
law on the subject, adding to it another proviso,
so that no marshall be permitted to retail ardent
spirits without conforming to the previous requi
sitions, and also, unless a majority of the voters of
the county express the wish that ardent spirits be
retailed within the limits of the oounty. Bat still
it would be far better, if the Legislature is persua
ded that the present system is working evil
through the whole State, like the fabled giant
with a hundred powerful arms, it shonld act under
this conviction.
Bat does any one say that such a law wonld do
violence to the great principles of free trade, we
think ho Is mistaken. There is no man more
thoroughly conrinoed of the truth of the free
trade doctrines than I am; but thoee principles
would bo no more violated by the proposed lew
than Ihe liberty of speeob by the law of slander.
That system has reference to the relations existing
between foreign and domestic products snd mar
keta laying restrictions on trade with the former,
for the supposed benefit of the latter: when a
country could muoh better afford to buy a foreign
article thau produce the same at home—just as
you, Mr. Editor, find it more to your interest to
buy your paper and types than to make them.
Now this prohibition of th* retail of ardent spirits
has no reference to the fact, whether they are of
foreign or domestic manufacture. It does not pro
pose to tax one portion of the community for the
benefit of another portion. It acta equally on all.
It proposes to diminish the traffic in a oertain arti
cle booause the experienee of years has taught al
most evsry man that the effects of that traffic are
far more disastrous than beneficial. Indeed, the
present system, through the medium of a morbid
appetite, forces men to traffio in an artiole that
reason teaches them ia highly detrimental to their
best interests.
It is a senseless clamor against law, on this sub
ject, thnt It will deprive men of their liberties. It
is the nature of wise laws to bring maoh more real
freedom to the subjects of them, as a community,
than they take away. In point of rational liberty,
oompareany well governed people with lewises
savages.
I trust that the people of Georgia are beginning
to see that thsir rights suffer far more from the
present system than they would without it. I
trust that the intelligent freemen of Georgia are
willing to give up their right to retail ardent spir
its, in view of greater privileges that will accrue
to them by suoh a relinquishment. Those who
have been suffering under the present system,
have sought no other means of redress than the
Constitution of tbeir country guarantees to them:
and they will still continue to bear the outrages on
their interests, feelings and moral rights, if the
Legislature so determine. But let it be distinctly
understood that we are oonaoious that the rights
that wo prize most in this matter are not secured
to us by the privilege of retailing ardent spirits.
What do you say to the infringement of your
rights already by tho State, when you have to pay
tho price of a license and conform to certain other
requisitions not made in other branches of trade f
The principle for which you oontend is already
violated, and that to no good purpose except the
paltry revenue that it brings to the public treasury.
The Stato compels you to sell a portion of your
land, if a road is authorised to pose through it, and
this whether you wish to sell or not. Otherwise
a perverse man might defeat the moat Important
ontorprizes, and frustrate the more important
privileges of thousands. But the State is just, and
pays him tho full value of his land—and the prin
ciple is benevolent to him as well os others, for he
oau batter afford to do without the land than with
out the road, whieh has already greatly increased
tho value of his possessions. This is the opera
tion of every wise law, so that tho highest freedom
of man is developed in connection with laws whiou
seem to the superficial observer to be infringe
ments of bis liberty.
So far is the proposed law from interfering with
your highest liberties, that there are really few
onuses now operating that threaten oar country’a
oharaater, prosperity and liberty with more dan
ger than tho Grog-shop. A morally corrupt peo
pio cannot be a free people, A nation of drunkards
oould not long be a nation of intelligent freemen.
When such a habit has obtained the mastery over
n man, ho can bo controlled through motives ad
dressed to it—so that, at this day, there are thou
sands of votes sold for intoxioating drinks. Let
this inflnenoo control oar eleotions, and the post
of honor will be a private station.
If a foreign power had introduced such a sys
tem, we should not have been slow |n disoovenng
n Grooiau horse within the walla of Troy. A for
eign power hue introduced it, and that power is
not God. K.
Intemporanm—No. 4.
It is impossible to eradicate entirely any evil
from human society, for no human expedients can
extirpate the spirit of svll that ia in tbo world.
There are oooasionoi murders, even notwithstand
ing the eevority of the law and the probability of
disoovery, so that we are not to expect too mneh
ofanylawon the subjeot of Intemperance, and
thou condemn it if it does not meet our extrava
gant expectation. As a community doe* not de
soend at onco from the heights of virtue to the
depths of vice, much lees can it rise instantly from
tho latter to the former. We mnatgive it time to
aot. This ia the error that baa been oommltted in
other Btatee that have attempted legislation on this
subjeot. They have expected too mneh. They
have been frightened from their position by the
elamor of the first excitement. Tha present gen
eration of drunkards must pass from the stage of
aetion. But wise legislation has posterity in
view. It achieves e glorious result when it stops
the triumphant progress of an enemy, though it
may not instantly expel him.
As the Medical Philosopher seeks ont tha oausea
of disease with referenoo to their removal, so the
sagacious legislator traces the streams of vice to
tbeir souroes, that if possible he may dry up the
fountain.
I, for one, cannot believe that the people of
Georgia have had the retail shops under their im
mediate observation for years, gnd opptem
plating them in the various relations they auatais
to our society, without ooming to •
that they are aloen »o» *-* _ oonolusion
fi»ir iaeo ° f * . uuiy blemishes upon the
vim« it. ~“ e * 3DI Shod with a malignant
' “»t!artutens fatal consequences. The ex
halations that are poisoning the atmosphere and
spreading the infection, arise from these places ;
and yet how soon could the Legislative voice,
though it could not parity the atmosphere already
charged, yet it could dry np the sources of the
noxious vapors.
Ardent spirits are such active stimulants that
even if the nature of man requires some stimulus,
it oannot be taken in this oonoentreted form with
out frequently producing intoxication or inducing
a morbid appetite for stimulating drinks. The
reason that intemperance does not prevail in wine
producing countries as a national vioe, is because
man rarely feels a disposition to drink enough of
that mild beverage to prodnoe intoxication, and I
have no doubt that it would be favorable to tem
perenoe here if native wines could beoome abun
dant enough to displace ardent spirits,
But the present system pl&ott the means of in
toxication within every man's reach. In the pre
sent condition Os human nature, any form of evil
would prevail, if auoh facilities were afforded for
its oommiesion. Is it to be wondered at that in
temperance should be so common, when for a few
cents a man can intoxicate himself and several of
his neighbors.
It is certainty an evil that so large an amount of
the necessaries of life—tha material of bread—
should be directed from ita more important use
of nourishing the life of man and beast, to tha
purpose of filling these shops with these deleteri
ous drinks.
There shops are the places of rendexvoos for
the most vicious of every community; idle habite
are induced—mutual encouragement given in every
specie* of vice—the youth corrupted—strifes en
gendered—fights, bloodshed, and murder ensue.
The criminal statistics of the county show that
moat of the orime is connected with these centres
of bad influence. Whilst we are deliberating, they
are forming our national character 1
Their power for evil does not terminate with
the day. At night the servants from the eontigu
ons plantations, stealthily repair to them with their
master’s property and exchange it for less than its
market value, and receive money or whiskey in
exchange. The planters of the land know of the
evils of which we speak.
The idleneesa, poverty and vice, canted and fos
tered by these pieces, it depleted in tbg hemes,
the fence*, tke rum*, the etook, the clothing, eg
welt is the appeannoe of tboM who frequent the
retail shop so conveniently situated at the cross
road, or some other public place. Like some
vortsx It draws into its whirling centre persons
iot hi lit* tronud, sod the fragments that rise to
the surface tell sad tales of ruin end shipwreck.—
The malediotions of widows and orphans, will
aoouer or later be visited upon these factories of
crime and misery. You may depend on it. that
men aspiring to the elevated character of moralists,
patriot* and ebriatians,cannot always continue to
overlook sources of so muoh corruption—of na
tional degradation and of such disastrous result*
here and hereafter. K.

The Alaerlae Law.
Mb. Borrow—The fact of owning some property
in the oity of Augusta, had somewhat excited my
ouriosity and interest to understand what was
meant by the so-styled “ odious Algerine Law,”
the advocacy of which has been so much used
against Mr. Jxxxras in the present canvass.
From the mere allusions to it contained in the
public prints, 1 had imagined it to be an utterly
indefensible measure; for even the friends of Mr.
Jixxixe seemed to thi&k it expedient to pass the
subject over in silence. What has been my aston
ishment to find that it is not only perfectly deten
eible, but foueded on a principle for which the
American revolution was fought, viz: that pecu
niary appropriations shonld be regulated by those
who are taxed to raise the money for them. The
44 Algeriene Law,” aa I understand it, was not in-
tended to interfere with univeraal suffrage, as the
opponents of Mr. Jkmkbis misrepresent. On ail
subjects, wduiingtKu of pecuniary appropriation*,
lUe Council, constituted aa it is, ware to vote is
they do; but this law was intended to create a
Board of Aldermen to represent property holders,
who oould veto appropriations, which, though
contrary io the wishes and interests of these pro
perty holders, must be paid for with their money.
* yt I understand the merits of this case, those
who oppose this law contend that the people of
Augusts have, if they chooee to exercise it, a full
right to tax the property holders of Augusta to the
full value of their property for any Durpcse they
ehoose —even for purposes in which these who
pay the money may not be in the slightest degree
interested. For example, if the- -city of Angasta
chose to bnild an ioe house and dispense ice gratis
they have a right to make the property holders of
Augusts psy for it. Undoubtedly ice is a very
good thing in this hot weather, and it is heartily
to be wished all bad the means of procuring it. but
that does not make it just that those who have not
the money to buy it should be able to compel
those who have to buy it for them.
Perhaps this is an extreme case, but the princi
ple which they contend for who denounce the
“ Algerine Law,” completely covers it; and if it
be admitted, it would cot be at all surprising some
day to see this very case itself enacted. If I am
mistaken as to the principle involved, I should
like for some of those who denounce the law to
set me right. I verily believe half the honest
thinking men in Georgia see the matter in this
light, bat popular prejndico is so strong against it,
they are afraid to say so. A pretty picture it pre
seats of the patriotism of Georgia that men are so
afraid of becoming unpopular, that do one dares
say a word in favor of a measure sn manifestly
founded in justice as this so-styled “Algerine
Law.” The truth is, men are afraid to speak their
minds, and therefore it is that I, a woman, neither
expecting nor wishing to vote or be voted for, and
therefoio not caring a fig for popularity, choose
to aay what I think. lam at some loss to know
why the name “Algerine" has been applied, un
less because it sounds despotic, and those who
have nothing better to sav, console themselves by
bandying bad names. They may call that law
“ Algerine,” bnt the truth is, its opponents aro
better entitled Vo the names of Socialist and Bed
Republican.
Everybody who is not lamentably deficient in
historical knowledge, knows that it is this princi
ple, that property holders may bo taxed for the
benefit of those who have nothing, which wrecked
the French Republic. There it is openly called
Socialism, and says openly “hr propriete c'mt le
tol." “ property is theftand it has demonstra
ted that the government under which property is
insecure must fall. And shall onr liberty be iden
tified with a principle which tho case of France
has tanght us is destructive of liberty—a principle
which has resulted in the establishment of so se
vere e despotism as that of Louis Napolesn I Let
us hear no more of this law, unless from those
who are willing to oonfess they know nothing of
the history of the world, even in their own imme
diate times. Socialism may do at the North, along
with Abolitionism and athousand other isms; but
at the South, let us not belie the boast that wo aro
free from such heresies.
How-a-days it really seems as if the cry that tho
rich are trying to persecute the poor, can ruin any
measure, even if founded in the plainest justice.
Not that I am opposed to the rion giving to the
poor—but let it be fiven— let it be voluntary—and
not establish the pnnoiple that he who has no pro
perty has aright to compel him who has to contri
bute to his advantage.
The foot that Mr. Jenkins did advocate so un
popular a measure, oertainly shows one important
trait in his charaoter, and that is his sterling inde-
Kendence. He does what he thinks right, regard
iss of popularity—a most important quality In a
Governor of Georgia. Ho dared to do what men
who think It right seem afraid even to defend.

people of the North, without qualification or dis
tinction, was “an accursed alliance .” In his letter
accepting the nomination for Governor, the same
Berachel V. Johnson declares that, over since the
10th day of Deoember, 1860, ho has been continu
ally laboring to heal the divisions existing between
the two wings of the Democratic party in Georgia,
and to make them, when ro-unitod, a part and psr
oel of tho National Democracy—thus hitohing
them on onco more to this same '■'•accursed alliance!"
Between the 6th of November and the 10th of De
oember, 1860, only thirty-five days intervened.
People of Georgia, let me now ask you this plain
question ! If a political Union with either party at
the North was “an accursed alliance" on tho sth
of November, 1860, (and ao Mr. Johnson express
ly taught) conld such an union be metamorphosed
into a blessed," alliance” on the 10th of Deeeinber,
only 86 days thereafter ? What great event had
happened—what pledge had either party in the
North given to Mr. Johnson and the Southorn peo
ple, between thoso dates, to give so sudden a turn
to the counsels, wishes, and aspirations of this gen
tleman i There was no such evont—no suoh pledge
given; and the Bnbduod and altered tone of Mr.
Johnson can only be acconnted for on principles
of palpable, downright inconsistency, not to say
the grossest political dishonesty, Let every body
who may read this compare hia two letters of the
above dates, and see if the writer of this does not
state the plain truth in what he here says. Will
the people bo hood-winked and chisseled out of
their votes by a mere name, as empty as a “sound

Table talk, or knocking, sometimes leads to em
barrassing results, as proved by the following gos

and formed a chain, and when the fluid was in
movement, a married lady present put the ques

“Tap, tap, tap, tap, or four,’’ replied the table.
“True; wonderful!” exolaimed the lady, and all
otbere.
Presently her husband came in and asked the
earns question.
“Tap, tap, or two,” was the answer.
The effect produced by this may ba better con
ceived than described. This might be termed
“scandalous table-talk.”

How Things are In Jlewion.
Mr. Editob— Being gifted neither in the use of
the pen, nor “ born an orator,” wo have left these
potent agencies for good, when wielded well and
to the point, to abler bands and more eloquent
tongues. But there are some things that would
provoke the dumb t s speak—the pained hand to write !
The word.» and the acte of some men are so “mad"
—so glaringly inconsistent—so blighting in their
effect end influence upon the weal of society, that
were the conservative—the true aDd tried friends
of humanity to hold their peace, the rocks would
cry out in denunciation, and the stars of heaven
record them in lines and syllables of fire— the unen
viable epitaph of their authors! Every physical
system must cast up the bile that corrupts the
fountains of life, or death ensues. Then is it that
the human eye looks in upon the corruptions of
flesh and blood, and beholding, tarns sick and dis
gusted from the picture. The soul, humbled and
sorrowful, cries surely “ there it no soundness in
man."
So is it with political systems. They are cor
rupt—full of disorganizers and disorganizing ele
ments—ulcerous matter flowing through all their
veins, which, under the influence of strong ex
citement produced by the administering of whole
some Legielative medicine , is thrown out to the
surface to the disgust of the virtuous and the hor
ror of those who love their country more than the
“spoilsof office.” Having drawn the picture, let
us compare it with the subject,—Newton county.
What a spectacle she presents! Its late politi
cal throes have made some tore developments—re
vealed, in their true light, some “old chronic
eatee," heretofore nursed and fed as the falte doc
tort of the body politic—now come forth in their
true oolors—doctors for pay—disorganizers—
“ A sect whose chief devotion lies
In odd, perverse antipathies;
In fallioK out with that or this.
And finding somewhat stid amiss:
More peevish, cross and splenetic,
Than dog distract or monkey sick.”
If they can have the regulating of the public pulse,
and their hands elbow-deep in tho public pockets,
“Hozanas” roll in liquid melody from their
tongues. But if the people, in the exercise of their
delegated powers—the right of expressing their
will through the ballot box—see fit to leave this
political rust of "wire-workers ”—these self-consti
tuted Jupiters—prescriptive nose-gages of the peo
ple—to “ nurse their hopes at home,” how soon,
oh! how soon
“Their devotion dies.”
Let them have it their way, and they are willing—
they being the trumpotors—to peril their “ lives,
fortunes and sacred honor" for the sake of party—
for the sake of union and harmony. But set them
aside, and run np men of as pure, spotless publio
integrity and irrepioaohable private life as they
can or ever could boast, aDd they are the first to
throw the fire-brand of dissension. They raiso
all the row—kindle high the fires of strife—then
hold out what thoy call tho “ olive branch of peace,"
and say, “ let us harmonize /” Knuckle under! —
bring down your candidates—what authority had
the districts of tho county, regularly and fully
represented in convention, to nominate without
consulting us— we, the immaculate — we old wire
pullers of Newton —who have always had things
our own way;—come down, I say —we are the ora
cles of the people — ourselves, wears / Come down 1
Let’s harmonize! If ycu had nominated me, and
and why then the people wonld have had
their choice 1”
Fellow-citizens of Newton, do you see any thing
harmonizing in this ? Whore the solution to this
presumption—this tyranical -dictation of a rebel
lions minority I Whence originates it—what ob
joot have they! Here’s the seoret, in our humble
opinion. They have their “ eyes fixed upon the
coin," and a legislative honor looks larger to their
“aspiring eyes” than the now moon did to the
green horn who thought it was oheese' In the
language of another, would to God such men had
light,
“ To see themselves as others see them.”
Truly, in one sense, “ these are times that try
men's souls.” These are times that provo preten
sions—that unmask, in all their force and fury,
th a jug batteries. Where, now, these Temper
ance pretenders t Do yon see the white feather f
“ Water will find its level."
On the first Tuesday of present inst, the Union
party of Newton met in convention, and after a
brief and harmonious sitting, presented for the
suffrages of the people, three true and tried Union
men—G. Harper for the Senate, Alfrod Livings
ton and Lawrence Baker for tho Lower House.
Temperance issues were intended to have been
lett out of the convention entirely. But a minori
ty, “ zealous of their liberties ,’* and grown wiser
than their fathers, abjured the time-honored Demo
cratic doctrine, that majorities rule. They de
manded security. “They asked for a sign.” A
“ sign ” was given. Here it is:
Resolved, We do not require the candidate* that
may be nominated by this' convention to take an
active part, lor or against the retail of ardent spir
its, but wo do require said candidates to carry out
the wishes of their constituents, as expressed at
the ballot box. And we will not recognize the
claims of any nominee that wil nett oomply with
the above requisitions.”
This was a pacificatory measure—a Compromise
resolution—intoaded as such—adopted as such.
It did not originate primarily with the friends of
Temperance in that convention. For, deep as
was their desire for the advancement and suocess
of the great cause that had long engaged their en
ergies as privato citizens, they were unwilling to
distract their party by making it a test qualifica
tion of their candidates in the ensuing election.
No, they were willing to leave this question in all
its bearings and destinies to the will of the people
—to the voice of the majority as expressed at the
ballot box. “ License or No License upou your
tickets. If a majority said License— good. If a
majority said no No Lieence, they demanded, and
had a right, clear and unquestionable, unless the
broad foundation principles upon which this Go
vernment builds its hope of glory and perpetuity,
have lost “ lustre and reputation,” to demand that
their voice bo heard and their will represented.
Here was the position assumed—the action taken.
And we defy the world to show a single anti-re
publioan feature in the resolution adopted by that
Convention. We defy these dictators—these ex
pounders of this new sprung heresy of minorities
to show anything informal, any thing illegal or
fraudulent in the organization or after proceedings
of that Convention—one single thing at war with
the custom, eontroling in previous
the County, on similar oeqaaim.*- ""
the resolution hw SM” ~ '
«ißinWr»’"‘ : ‘ iQe object of
„ misapplied, and its spirit
it because it was unfair , unrepublican!—Did it
“squint of Monarchy? Impolitic it may have
been. Why? Because it offered a bone of con
tention —a last stand-point upon which disappoint
ed aspirants for public honors could build their
hopes of nomination by the disruption and dis
grace of the first, and the call and organization of
a second convention— a convention formed upon the
basis of “ taxation without representation'"—deny
ing the right of “ instructions”— Lords oner many!
How true is it “ a drowning man trill catch at a
straw.”
The martyrs of ’76 are sleeping quietly in the
bosom of the soil they rescued from British bond
age ! But, thank God 1 their spirit still lives!
Their blood still bounds in the veins of America’s
freemen I And we very much mistake the corrup
tions of the times if their sons, as a majority, are
willing to sign a surrender of the right of the people
to rule —and say let the ballot-box have no longer
a voice in onr elections! When they cease to val
ue the legacies, to revere the memory, obey the
the oouncilsof their fathers—when they surrender
every thing to the dictation of a few party leaders,
that mom ant they bind themselves hand and foot
and deliver themselves over “ into the hands ot
the adversary."
And right here upon the doctrine of pledges
—which by the way, has turned out to be a tery
“ noielidia" with the “ compromisers"—who leant
/the whole hog, hair and hide or none —we assert that,
in onr opinion, there never yet has gone into onr
halls of legislation one, sent by a majority of the
people who went not bound by a promise, expres
sed or implied, to carry oat the will of that majori
ty. The people have yet to learn to trust a man
before they know his principles. They are not in
the habit ot sending men to the Legislature to dis
cuss their oten fine spun theories—to show how
smart they are. When it comes to this we had as
well import smart men from Europe to dis
or rather to grace our places of public trust.
Why not, if the will and wishes of the people are
not to be consulted ? But enough of pledges. The
idea is too absurd for discussion.
For, as we said before, the majority of this con
vention asked no pledge upon this su.iect —because
they held that the votes of the people were to de
cide this question. But the opposition required
one—one they would have. The above resolution
was the result—e “ sugar til" to keep the grum
blers quiet. And they would have sucked away in
harmonious good hnmor if some of the older ba
bies ont in the yard— public pets— had net raised a
squall because they did cot get a nibble at the
“ stronger meat" in the anticipated feat at Mil
ledge ville, where some of them had eaten at the
public expense before, whether worthy or other
wise wtaWl not protend to deddo.
. rr ■■■■■l ■-
Bat the Resolution is cot the reel “thorn In the
flesh," h v>« think tbei» sets in the teqatl will
show. We proceed briefly toe statement of the
bets, and leave the people to their own decisions.
Immediately upon the adjournment of the Con
vention the hne and cry of the disaffected was
raised. Hand bill* were struck and sent in cir
culation throughout the county, calling a Con
vention ; first of the Whig, then of the Union
Conservative party. The birth of this mixture of
calls was an assemblage of a portion of all classes
and parlies, which met yesterday, (28d 105 t.,) in
the Court House, Covington. The meeting was
organized by calling Judge Wood to the Chair.
This harmonizing Convention thus headed tor
theoonfllct—the bosiness of tearing down “old
barns” and building “ new”—commissioned R.
G. Harper, Esq., to extend the “ Olive branch of
peaceto dilate upon the virtues and blessings
accruing from its acceptance —the woes snd disas
ters that would follow its rejection. A delicate
task was that assigned him. Men attacked in the
peaceable discharge of their duty by a “ foraging
party,” if they are nen of spirit, dont’t accept
“Olive branches” upon just any terms. He en
tered, however, upon the fearful adventure of
steering between Scylia and Charibdis, by declin
ing the Senatorial nomination tendered him by
the former Convention—assigning as his reason
professional engagements—besides he was one of
those who legislated as he pleased, not as the peo
ple wanted him to do —when he went to the Legis
lature he expected to go “on his own hock.”
Y’try well. He concluded his exhibition at the
“ balancing art ” by exhorting the members of the
former Convention to reconsider—for this was the
“last call." This wire-walking is a nice business.
A man will lean a little if he is not right careful.
The fable of the Trumpeter, who was taken pri
soner, is not forgotten yet 1
Judge Reynolds next arose and, surveying the
field with a statesman-general’s eye, fired off bis
volley in this “ war of words”—“whereas, not only
he, bat the large and respectable denomination to
which he belonged, was totally disenfranchised by
the action of the late Convention, in that one of
the canons of their church forbade legislation up
on the subject of Temperance. Which, by the way,
nobody had done nor expected to do, unices a major
ity were willing. Nothing was effected jet—not a
single point taken. But it was evident to a look
er on that nothing short of ntter demolition was
contemplated. To have peace und harmony it was
clearly to be seen that the former Convention and
its friends must ail surrender as “ prisoners of
war,” and go into bondage. It was a sort of po
litical inquisition, that said, recant and your life
shall be spared—remain a heretic and you go to
the stake.
Win. W. Clark, Esq., next arose, and, in an elo
quent and able argument, defended the action of
his Convention; the republican nature of the re
solution adopted by it, and offered the only mode
of compromise which had been offered—one every
way honorable, fair and equitable—“ that the of en
tice resolution be expunged—that the candidatet
stand for the House, and all unite in the nomination
of a Senator upon any principle that might be adopt
ed." Now, the cloven toot shows itself. The flat
had gone forth. Th e proscribed must die! Gen.
Williamson took the floor, and after discussing the
constitutionality of legislating upon “ Cotton rais
ing,"aDd the propriety of controlling Judge Wood
in the management of his “ cash,” which matters
seemed, to his experienced eye, aa legitimate sub
jects of legislation at “Liquor ’’—expressed his deep
love and regard for Messrs. Baker and Livingston,
but the smell othereey was upon them—he deplored
it, but they must bow their necks to the axe of the
inquisition, nnles they would consent to a sham
burial and risk tho chances of resurrection at the
trnmpet-call of his Convention, which is to meet
on the 2d Tuesday in September. Yes, a olean
sweep had to be made ! But Mr. Livingtton is one
of those who don't “ down ” at every bodyß “ bid
ding.” Thank heaven for such a man! If the
world was full of such men the pillars of party
would Dover bend to the force of might, indpen
dent of right l
Mr. J. L. Baker renewed the proposition of Mr.
Clark. But it was “no go.” A total sacrifice had
to be made. “We havo men on our side that
want the nomination —they shall hats it." « Ao
tions speak louder than words,” is an old saying.
Here is some of the eloquence of aotions,” transla
ted into plain English. Compromise!—Harmon
ize I Is this your “ olive branch t" Keep it your
selves ! Our lathers taught us to prefer war to a
dishonorable peace! Their instructions shall not
be lost 1
What did this meeting do f At the motion of
Mr. Harper, it appointed a committee of twenty
five men—twenty-five men I—a committee—to do
what ? —to sit inj udgment upon the action of a regu
lar convention of thirty-three men composed of dele
gatee from all the districts of the county save one.
At one time, in England, it required a jury of
twenty-four men to set aside a decision made by
twelve men. But we suppose twenty five of these
modern “ rectifiers ,” are equal to sixty-six men
who are unwiße in their own conceits. This com
mittee called Messrs. Baker and Livingston “ into
court,” to confess judgment, or receive sentence
according to law.
They pointed out the “Slough of Despond”
and tho “ Lions ” that lay in the way. Mr. Baker
Baw fit to “ back out,” rather than “ face the mu
sic.” Let him go! Bat Mr. Livingston, true to
his integrity, and unwilling to reflect upon the
convention that nominated him, chose rather to
suffer defeat in the path of duty, than to be tram
pled in the dust by a faction !
Fellow-citizens of Newton: the facts are be
fore you—the issue is made. Not whether License
or No License prevail; bnt whether the aotion of
a regular nomination, or that of a disappointed
faction, be supported. The line of separation is
drawn—who drew it! Lot facts speak. The battle
must and will be fought. “ If we were base enough
to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the
contest.” Here are our candidates, Messrs. Liv
ingßton and Merriwether, for the House, and Wm
W. Clark, for the Senate— true, tried, patriotic
men.
They are the nominees of the people's conven
tion. They are running upon the platform of the
Constitutional Union party—they are willing to
oarry out the will ot the people, not their own wild
schemes of ambition. They are Tsmperanoc men;
bnt they do not wish to make temperance the sub
ject of Legislation, unless tho majority wills it.
Efforts have been made—efforts will be made to
decoive the people. Why these copies *f the
“ Maine Liquor Law” in circulation—this Trojan
horse, intended to deceive the people and over
turn the Republican doetrines of their fathers I
Who is ongaged in circulating them?—Heaven
forbid that their names should bo told, lest their
children should blush for their memory. We call
upon the people to consider well their rights. Let
the friends of union and harmony—lovers of law
and republican ism—meet boldly and fearlessly, tho
demi-gods of faction, and declare as to who shall
“ rule in Israel.”
Washington was defeated, bnt never disgraced.
Our flag is upon the breeze—let the oposition
strike it down il they can 1 We bow only to the
will of the majority. We may be beaten, but the
world shall know that wo had rather perish like
Leonidas and his little bond amid the difficulties
that beset the pathway of consistency and duty that
acoept a dishonorable peace, or now to the bod of all
tho A«rxes’ upon earth.

August, Mth, 1858,
The Iron Trade and Mannfarttke.
There is no business which has in prospeet such
“a good time,” as the iron business. We are told j
that as soon as our manufacturers get undor way, j
so as to compete with England in onr own market, '
and furnish a reasonable expectation that we can .
supply any considerable portion of the demand j
forhome consumption, the iron princes of En- ;
gland will knock down the prices to the starvation l
standard, and ruin onr own capitalists, as they *
have done in times past. A reference to statistics ?
and facts will show the fallacy of such an appre- ,
hension. The consumption of iron has increased j
a thousand-fold within the last ten years, and 14 c
still increasing in an accelerating ratio. Scarcely n
a store is built that tonq of ipon dp not enter into j
its construction." Pillars, lintels, and cornices are °
composed of iron. Bridges are built of iron.—
Machinery, with its shafts and wheelß which for- *
morly were of wood ip how composed, of t-gp. ,
The implements of husbandry arp Wing Ah’”'
almost exclusively of jgm. 'JJibn**
houses, ari<\ eyen, dw6ihn» * * ;^osed
be made iaon-' ” .and store*
uudnr* - „ ..ouses are coming to
out, more than all this, the vast
used in the construction of railroads alone
will furnish abundant market for all the iron works
now in operation in the world. The amount of
railroad iron now in use is estimated at 8,000,000
of tons ; and the amount that will be required to
complete the roads now under contract, or about
being organized, will require for the next five years
at least 1,000,000 of tons more. The 8,000,000 of
tons now in uso will have to be replaced within
the next ten years by new rails. These facts show
how utterly impossible it wiil be for any country
to control tbe iron market. The demand for
years to come will exceed the supply. Furnaces
and forges must be every where multiplied to an
swer the increasing demand.
There is no country in the world where the fa
cilities for manufacturing iron exceed those pos
sessed by the United States. There ie hardly a
State in the Union in which ore is not abundant,
easy of access, and of the best quality. Pennsyl
vania alone possesses more and richer ore than all
England, and it is easier of access. Northern
New York has an inexhaustible supply of the
richest and best quality, and in close proximity to
navigable waters. The iron business is every
where attracting the attention of capitalists, and
millions are being invested in the various branches
of manufacture pertaining to that business. A
large amount of railroad iron is now being made in
this country, and establishments for its manufac
tare are multiplying. The increase of this iron
business is among the signs of prosperity every
where visible, and is not the least of the causes
which give new impetus to the progress of the
age. Hitherto manufacturers of iron in this coun
try have labored under many disadvantages.
Lack of capital, of experience and skill, as well as
the prevalence of a false opinion in regard to the
quality of American iron, have greatly embar
rassed their operation, and made us dependant
to s verv groat extent, for supplies from abroad.—
That time is passing away, and tbe day will soon
come when a home supply will be in a measure
, equal to the home consumption. —Albany Re
gister.
Partisan Appointmemts.—The New York Sun
is one of the very last papers, in the columns of
which we should have expected to find anvtbing
to agree with. In the following, however, we
heartily and entirely concar:
“ There is miserable management in oar Post
offices, bat it is cheifiy the resalt of that prepos
terous and disgracetnl system of proscription
now persued by political parties. Under its op
eration the postal arrangements of the country are
in an almost continual state of confusion, for
when postmasters, mail agents and clerks begin
to understand their business, they are turned out
because their political opinions do not exactly tally
with those professed by the powers at Washing
ton. In their stead, a new set of men, many of
them totally unqualified tor the right preformance
of their duties, are appointed; and aa their ap
pointments are rewards for party services, incom
petency is overlooked by the appointing power;
and they blunder on until another change at
Washington again produces a change over the
whole Union, the good and bad being a ke
swep from office by the indiscriminating wh 1-
whind of proscription. Then the country ia af
flicted with another set of inexperienced and

For tie Chronicle it Sentinel
Mr. Stapleton *l Letter.
Ms. Ecrrcx— l was somewhat surprised at read
ing your Editorial remarks in the Chronicle it Sen
tine!, of the 25th inst., in reference to what you
seem to view as a very independent position as
stimed by Mr. Stapleton, who is a candidate before
the people of Jefferson county, on the Liquor
question. A cartful perusal of the letter has made
on my mind quite a different impression with re
gard to the frankness of the writer. Notice, if
yon please, ths peculiar wording of bis first para
giaph:—“The Legislator is bound by his oa:h to
vote upon all questions and uieaaorcs that may
come before him, and which, in his judgment,
will conduce to the interest and prosperity oi the
State,” &c.
I pass over that portion about his God and his
country. The small capitals are my own. Now,
sir, if the above quotation means anything, it is
simply this: that the Legislator is bound to vote
upon all good propositions, and let all injurious
measures alone. I have always thought that the
Legislator was bound to vote upon all measures;
for the good and against the bad. But this writer
seems to think that he is only bound to vote upon
such measures as may conduce to the interest of
the State, <&c. He does not state, at least, what is
to be done with measures of a contrary tendency.
He does not state on which tide of good measures
the Legislators are bound to vote. They are to
vote upon them. He does not say whether for or
against.
Bat perhaps it may be said, this is all quibbling.*
Not so. His letter is a quibble, according to my
view of the mattei.
This Temperance question, Mr. Editor, is a
grave and great subject, and one concerning which
the friends ot good order should not suffer them,
selves to be deceived. If you will notice oarelnlly
the letter under consideration, you wiil find that
the writer has no where committed himself to the
support of any proposition that may have for its
object the restraining of the traffic in ardent spir
its. He distinctly states that he will not commit
himself for or against any particular plan or mea
sure that may have been proposed, &e.
Mr. Editor, this is the only position he has dis
tinctly assumed. I say it with all duedefferenceto
your editorial, which was, no doubt, written amid
a press of business, and before you had carefully
scanned the contents of Major Stapleton’s letter.
He is a non-committal. He is worse than that.
He has even catered to the prejudice;* of onr ene
mies by tho peculiar manner in which he refers to
the fact, that the constitutionality of tho plan pro
posed by the Atlanta Convention, has boon called
in question ! Talk about the constitutionality of
the plan proposed by tho Atlanta Convention. I
thought that that humbug had long since been put
to rest, among the friends of good order. But
even if he doubts the constitutionality of this or
that plan, he ought to have pMged himself to have
supported some plau, which was free from these
objections, or have said he was opposed to any
change on tho subject. But no. He will reserve
to himself “ the right to vote upon any measure
that may be proposed,” &c., which simply means
that he will do just as he pleases after ho get* to
the Legislature.
It is true that he conceives “ the retail traffic in
liquors to be not only a nuisance, but a public
ourse,” &c. So does almost every man. A large
portion of those engaged in the bnsines- will ad
mit the truth of this proposition, and would, no
doubt, vote upon a proposition to restrain it if
they were in the Legislature.
Mr. Editor, I am not a citizen Jefferson eonnty,
and have no interest in their local poiitios, bnt I
feel a deep and abiding interest in this great ques
tion. I, therefore, teel anxious that the views of
evory man, in every connty, may be properly
understood on this great subject. I wish them to
so express themseivi a that there may bo no get
ting out of place. I would rather vote for the man
that boldly expressed himself against me, than one
of those candidates that refuse to commit them
selves.
I havo writton the above with no unkind feel
ings towards the author of tho letter under con
sideration. About him personally I having noth
ing to say, more than that ho has the reputation of
being generally a good legislator. Ho has seen
much of the wire-workings of politics. It is with
his letter on the Temperance question alone that I
havo dealt. That letter bear? a double construction
It is consequently an unsafe guide.
August 26th, 1859. Consistency.
’ Rem arks by tiie Editob. —lf our correspondent
had searched the whole vocabula'y of tho English
language, he could not find half so appropriate a
term to designate his communication as that of
“ quibbling." Mr. Stapleton sets oat with ihe dec
eleration : First, that, ho is for God and his coun
try; Secondly that, the “Legislator is bound by
his oath to vote upon all questions and measures,
that may come before him, and which, in his judg
ment, will conduce to the interest and prosperity
of tho State, and equally bound to preserve the
morals as the health of the country” and lastly de
clares groggeries not only a “ nuisance , but a public
cures in any community." He is therefore sworn to
vote, and as ho is for the country, he is equally
bound to rid it of “nuisances and public curses” if
possible. This U the whole matter in a nut-shell,
maugro all the “ quibbling " and circumlocution of
“Consistency.”

Ai.oEim.-E Law.— Since Mr. Jenkins’ visitto Ma

have plucked up oonrago. They begin now to de

They say that as men of property in Augusta had
to pay the taxes—as tiie money iiad to be raised
from their property, they ought to have the control
of the matter of taxes and appropriations. This
is manly and independent at least. How it will
go down with tho deniocruts is another question.
Still it ip a matter of necessity with those who have
to defend Mr. Jenkins, at ail events. If they con

THE CROPS.—The searon continues favcruble for the
growing crops. Opinions, however, as to the probable
yield, even under very favorable circumstances, are very
dissimilar. We still Incline to the opinion thatwith the
most favorable season the yield will be fair.
TRADE AND BUSINESS.—The transaction, in trade
continue I'ght, though fair for the season. Within the last
week we observe that our merchant, are already receiving
considerable accessions to their stocks of goods, andare
preparing for a heavy season’s business.
GROCERIES.—The operations in the Grocery trade are
limited principally to the filling of email country order..
In the present quiet state of the market there is no parti
cular change in any of the leading articles, and we con
tinue former quotations, to which wo would refer as a fair
index to prices.
PROVISIONS.—Bacon continuesin fair demand, and our
quotations are well sustained. In Flour we note u»
change.
GRAIN.—The Corn market is well supplied, and prices
are easier. We note the sale of a lot at 60c. The general
Impression is that prlceswlll be lower, hence the demand
is confined to Immediate wants. Wheat is in demand at
o ur quotations.
EXOH ANGE—The rate for Checks on the North is
ce"t. premium.
FREIGUTB have undergone no change. The River con.
tinues In fair navigable condition.
NEW YORK, August 27.—Since our l ist we have hal a
