EXTENSIVE SALE OF VALUABLE TOWN LOTS^
IN KNOXVILLE, TENN., AT AUCTION.
ON BATUIIDAY, the first day of OCTOBER next,
we will offer for sale at auction, FIFTY TOWN LOTS,
in Knoxville, having fronts of flrom 26 to 78 feet, and depths
of 125 and 150 feet.
These lots are in a compact body, and front upon seve
ral of the principal streets of the town, among others that
which connects the portion of the town in which the bust
ness is at present chiefly transacted with the depot grounds
of the East Tennessee and Georgia, the East Tennessee
and Virginia, and the Rabun Gap Railroads—all of which
Kuilroads will be completed within the next three or four
years. In tbe centre of the ground which has thus been
divided into lots, is a Market Plsce, one hundred and twen
ty five feet wide and five hundred feet long, which has
been selected by the Town Council for a Market House—a
neat and commodious structure, to be erected this fall.
Many of the lots will front upon this Market Place.
The very many advantages which these lots offer to per
sons, desiring to purchase property for any purpose what
ever in Knoxville, will be seen upon an inspection of the
ground—it is almost level, so that no grading will be rc
q wired. It is of easy access from the Railroad Depots,and
is so located, with reference to other portions of the town
and the highways leading into it, that it Is admirably fitted,
not only for residences, but for business purposes. It is
exempt—the greater portion of it—from municipal taxa
tion ; and, in every point of view, almost presents greater
inducements to purchasers than any other grounds in or
about Knoxville.
It Is the purpoee of the proprietors, in offering these
lots for sale at auction, while they hope to obtain for them
selves remunerating pricea, to give all who desire to re
move to Knoxville, an opportunity to become ownere of
lots at reasonable prices.
Diagrams of the ground will be furnished those who wish
to purchase.
Terme of the sale—One-third cash, and the remainder
payable in twelve and eighteen months, with interest.

Trust in God—and he will guard thee.
When tbe tempe.t threaten., ward thee;
In the chill acd cheerless hour
He will light thy lonely bower.
And when earth it dark and dreary,
Pleasures lade and life nows weary,
He will lend thee for tM flight.
Strength of mind-uwd mortal might.
Trust in God—the btaakeat mountain
Bears within its breast a fountain,
Where the worn and weary rover
May his faltering health recover ;
Every heart that looks above.
Trusts in God and shares His love,
Is a fount of life, however
Rough the channel of its river.
Trait in God—the thiogi we cherish
Most and fondest soonest perish—
Hopes the brightest quickly fly—
Friends the truest early die;
But when hope and joys decay,
Friends and kiDdred past away—
Trust in God—and he will be
Worth the world beside to thee.
Trnst In God—ind when In death
Yield'st thou at last thy breath,
Angel-pinioned thou wilt fly,
To His mansion in the sky ;
There the lored and loet will meet thee—
There thy wife and God will greet thee,
Freed from sin, from sorrow freed,
Thou wilt then be blest indeed.

were yellow fever cases, making the total inter

This shows a decrease for this week over the
one preceding, ending on Saturday, 6 A. M., 27th
August, of 678 total intermouta ar.d 688 by yellow
fever.
The Blight increase in the interments reported
on Friday last, and occurring on Wednesday and
Thursday, was no doubt owing to the sudden
change in the weather from a warm, pleasant tem
perature, to one or a chilly, damp, disagreeable
nature, injurious even to a person in good health.
Yesterday, however, tho weather resumed its more
welcome characteristics, and it is much to be
hoped that it will remain so.

with which the ship was loaded, and also a marine
who had deserted from the C. S. ship Pennsyl

The opinion seems to be that the Captain did not

MISCELLANY.
Washington's Farewell ta his Army.
Can tyrants but by tyrants conquered be,
And freedom find no champion and no child,
Such as Columbia saw arise, when she
Sprang forth a Pallas, armed and undefined!
Or must such minds bo nourished in the wild.
Deep in tbenupruned forests, midst the rotr
Os cataracts, wb-r ■ nursing nature smiled
On infant Washington? Has earth no more
Such seed within her breast, or Europe no such shore?
The revolution was over. Eight years’ conflict
had ceased and the warriors were now to seperate
forever, turning their weapons into ploughshares,
and their camps into workshops. The spectacle,
though asublime and glorious one, was yet attend
ed with sorrowful feelings : for alas ! in tho re
mains of that gallant army of patriotic soldiers,
tow about to disband without pay, without sup
port, stalked poverty and disease. The country
Latl not the means to be grateful.
The details of the conditions of many of the offi
cers and soldiers at that period, according to his
tory and oral tradition, were melancholy in the
extreme. Possessing no means of patrimonial in
heritance to fall back upon—thrown out of even
the perilous support of the soldier at the com
mencement of winter and hardly fit for any other
duty than that of the camp—their situation can
better be imagined than described.
A single instance, as a sample of the situation of
many of tbe officers, as related of tbe conduct of
Baron Steuben, may not be amiss. When the
main body of the army was disbanded at New
burgh, and the veteran soldiers were bidding a
parting larewell to each other, Lieut. Col. Coch
ran, an aged soldier of the Newhampshire line,
remarked, with tears in his eyes, as he Bhook
hands with the Baron :
“For myself, I could stand it; but my wife and
daughters are in the garret of that wretched tavern
and I have no means of removing them.”
“Come, come," said the Baron, “don’t give way
thus. I will pay my respects to Mrs. Cochran and
her daughters.”
When the good old soldier left them, their coun
tenances were warm with gratitude—for he left
there all he had.
In 01 e of the Rhode Island regiments were
several companions of black troops wbo had served
through the whole war, and their bravery and dis
cipline were unsurpassed. The Baron observed
one of these poor negroes on the wharf, at New
burgh, apparently in great distress.
“What is the matter brother soldier?”
“Why master Baron, I want a dollar to get
home with, now the Congress has no farther use .
for me.”
The Baron was absent for a few moments, and
then returned with a silver dollar which he had
borrowed.
“There, it’s all I could got. Take it.”
The negro received it with joy, hailed a sloop
which was passing down the river to New York,
and as he reached the dock, took off his hat and
said:—
“God bless you. Master Baron !”
These are only single illnstrations of the oondi
tien of the army attne close of the war. Indeed,
Washington had this view at tbe close of his fare
well address to the army at Rocky Hill, in Novem
ber, 1798:
“And being now about to conclude these, his
last public orders, to take his ultimate leave in a
short time of the military character, and to bid a
final adien to the armies he has so long had the
honor to command, he can only again offer, in
thcirbelialf, his recommendations to their country,
and his prayer to tho God of armies.”
“May ample justice be done them here, and
may tho choicest of heaven’s favor, both here
and hereafter, attended those who, under divine
auspices, have secured innumerable blessings for
others.”
“With these wishes and this benediction, the
Commander-in-Chief is about to retire from ser
vice. The curtain of separation will soon bo
drawn, and the military scones to him will be
closed forever.”
The closing ot tho “military scenes” I am about
to relate.
New York had boon occupied by Washington
on tho 25th ot November. A few days afterwards,
ho notified the President of Congress—which body
was then in session at Anapolis, in Maryland—
Ahat as the war had now closed, be should consider
it his duty to proceod thence and surrender to that
body the commission which he had received from
them seven years before.
Tho morning of the sth of December, 1788, was
a sad and a heavy one to the remnant of the Ame
rican army in tho city of New York. The noon o f
that day was to witness the farewell of Washing
ton—he was to bid adien to his military comrades
forever. The officers who had been with him in
solemn council, tho private who had fought and
bled in tho “heavy fight,” uudor his orders, were
to hear his commands no longer. Tho manly form
and dignified countenance of the “great captain”
was henceforth to live in their momories.
As the hour of noou approached, the whole gar
rison at the request of Washington himself, was
put in motion, and marched down Broad street to
Francis’ tavern, his headquarters. He wished to
take leave of private soldiers aliko with the offi
cers, and bid them all adieu. Ilis favorite light
infantry were drawn up in tho line facing inwards
through Pearl street, to the foot of Whitehall,
where a barge was in readinoss to convey him to
Powlo’sHook.
Within the dining room of the tavern were
gathered the Generals and field officers to take
their farewell.
Assembled there were Knox, Green, Clinton,
Steuben, Gates and others, who hud served with
him faithfully and truly in tho “tented fieldbut
alas 1 where were others that had entered the war
with bint seven years before ? Their bones
crumbled in tho soil from Cauada to Georgia.—
Montgomery had yielded up his life at Quebec,
Wooster 101 l at Danbury, Woodhull was barba
rously murdered while a prisoner at the battle on
Long Island, and Mercer fell mortally wounded
ut Princeton ; tho brave and chivalric Laurens,
alter displaying the most heroic courage in the
trenches of Yorktown, died in a trifling shirmish
in South Carolina; the brave but eccenttric Lee
was no longer living, and Putnam, liko a helpless
child was stretched upon tho bed of sickness. In
deed, the battle field and time had thinned tho
ranks which entered with him in the conflict of
Independence.
Washington entered the room—the hour of
separation had come. As he raised his eye and
glanced on the facos of those assembled, a tear
coursed down his cheek, and his voice was tremu
lous ns he saluted them. Nor was he alone. Men
“albeit, unused to the melting flood,” stood around
him, whose uplifted hands to cover their brows,
told thut the tear, wliioh they in vain attempted
to conceal, bespoko the anguish they could not
hide.
After n moment’s conversation, Washington
called for a glass of wine. It was brought him.—
Turning to the officers, he thus addressed them :
“With a heart full of love and gratitude. I now
take my final leave of you. I most devotedly wish
your latter days may bo as prosperous and happy
as your former ones have been glorious and hono
rable.” He then raised the glass to his lips and
added, “I cannot eomo to each of you to tuke my
leave, but shall bo obliged to you if each of you
will take me by the hand.”
Gen. Knox, who stood nearest, buret into tears,
and advanced, incapable of utterance. Washington
grasped him by tho hand, and embraced him.—
The officers came up successively and took an af
fectionate leave. No words were spoken, but all
was the “Bileut eloquence of tears.” What were
mere words at such a scene f Nothing. It was the
feeling ofthe heart —thrilling though unspoken.
W hen the last officer had embraced him, Wash
ington left the room, followed by his oomrades,
and passed through the line of light inftmtry. His
step was slow and measured, his nead uncovered,
and tears flowing thick and fast, as he looked from
side to sido at the veterans to whom he now bid
adieu forever. Shortly an event occurred more
touching than all the rest. A gigantic soldier
who had stood by his side at Trenton, stepped
forth from the ranks and extended his hand.
“Farewell, my beloved General, farewell.”
Washington grasped his hand, in oonvnlsive
emotion in both of his. All discipline was now
at an end. The officers could not restrain the
men as they rushed forward to take Washington
by tho hand, and the violent sobs and tears of the
soldiers told how deeply engraved upon their af
foctions was the love of their commander.
At length Washington reached the barge at
Whitehall and entered it. At the first stroke of
tho oars he rose, and turning to the companions of
his glory. By waving his hat he bade them a
Bilent adieu. Their answer was only in tears;
and the officers and men, with glistening eves,
watched the receding boat till the form of their
noble commander was lost sight of in the distance.
Coutrast the farewell of Washington to his army
at Whitehall, in 1783, and the farewell of Napo
leon, to his army at Fontainbleu, in 1815. The
one had accomplished every wish of his heart. —
His noble exertion had achieved the independence
of his country and heloneed to retire to the bosom
of his home. His ambition was satisfied. He
fought for no crown, no sceptre, but for equality
and the mutual happiness of his fellow-beings.—
No tint of tyranny, no breath of slander, no whis
per of duplicity, marred the fair proportions of his
public or private life ; but
“He n« a man, take him (or all in all,
We ne'er thall look upon hia like again.”
The other great soldier was the disciple of sel
fish ambition. He raised the iron weapon of war
to crash only that he might role? What to him
were the cries of the widows and orphans. He
passed to a throne by making dead bodies of their
protectors his stepping stones. Ambition, self,
were the gods of his idolatry, and to tbcm he.sac
rificed hecatombs of his fellow men for the ag
grandizement of personal glory. Enthusiasm
points with fearful wonder to the name of Napo
leon, while justice, benevolence, freedom, and ml
the concomitants which constitute the true happi
ness of man, shed almost a divine halo around the
name and character of George Washington.
Gov. Cobb and the U. S. Senate. —We see it
stated that Gov. Cobb Is to be returned to the
United States Senate, in the place of Mr. Dawson,
in the event the Southern-Bights party have a
majority in the ensuing Legislature. It is believed
by some persons, that a partition of honors was
agreed to, by the convention which nominated
Mr. Johnson, to the effect that that gentlemen
shonld be elected Govenor of Georgia, and Gov.
Cobb, made United States Senator. Hence Gov.
Cobb’s support of Mr. Johnson and Mr. Johnson’s
support ot Gov. Cobb.
This arrangement may or may not have been
made, We do not pretend to know anything
about it ourselves. All we do know, or believe
we know, is, that Gov. Cobb stands abont as much
chance as we do of being made Benator by a
Southern-Bights Legislature. That wing of the
partv may seek to deceive the Union Democrats
mto'the support of Mr. Johnson by promising the
Sentoria! robes to their former leader; but Ben
ator he will never be, if it depends npon the
Southern-Bights party. Tne bitterest enemies
be has in the world are to be found among the
leaders ave, among the rank and file, of that
branch of the party. Their choice is one Charles
J McDonald, of Khett and seoeasion memory.
It may be, however, that we are mistaken, and
that such an arrangement has been entered into
with sincerity. If so, we hope the Scott men who
are friends ot Mr. Dawson, wtij see m it sufficient
reason for a hearty support of Mr. Jenkins. — Sac.

Moldavia and Walachia.
Fkaxge, July, 1868.
Topography and ancient history of these too prin
cipalUie*— Tksir religious and political stole m
the eighteenth Century — Russia's protectorate —The
hoepodart—Various dosses of the population —
Laws, manners, agriculture and manufactures—
Oonclusion,
The eyes of the civilized world being now turned
upon these two provinces, which are occupied by
the Russian armies, and ahich may become the
theatre ot a general war, it trill not be uninteresting
to study their history and present state.
Moldavia and Ifa/ackoi, though distinctly
marked by their boundaries, form really but one
country ; for they have the same religion, the
same population, landamentai laws, arts and cus
toms, and have shared the same destinies.—
Hence these two principalities sro often blended
by the name of the Punul-ian produces, end their
inhabitants called by geographers the Moldo
Walachians.
The two principalities are sitnated in the East
of Europe, between three great States j the Otto
man empire, Russia and Austria. This position
has exposed them to continual attacks from their
powerful neighbors, and they have never been
able to gain s real independence. Moldavia
is to the north ol Walachia. It is separated front
Bessarabia, a Russian province by the Pruth river,
recently celebrated in European diplomacy.—
Walachia is almost wholly Borroonded by the
great river Danube, which seperate? it from Servia
on the west, and irom Bulgaria on the south and
east. This latter principality is more important than
tbe former ; it contains about 2% millions, while
Moldavia reckons but 500,000. In Walachia are
8,520 villages, besides cities and towns; Moldavia
possesses only 1,920 villages.
The capital of Walachia is Bucharest; it issitua
ted in a plain reaching to tbe Danube. Its popu
lation is 70 to 80,000 souls. The houses, to the
number of 10,000 have but one story, and are for
the most part of wood. There are in this city 60
churches, many spacious convents, some imposing
pa.aces, numerous gardens and de.ightful walks.
“Bucharest,” says a modern traveller, “may be re
garded os partaking of the civilization of Europe
and that of Asia ; the manners and customs of the
two parts of the globe here meet.” The capital of
Moldavia is Jassey ; it is built on a bill and con
tains about 25,000 inhabitants, 40 churches or cha
pels, 20 Greek conveuts, a hospital, lyceum, Ac.
A great part ofthecity was destroyed in 1822 by a
fire, and tbe disaster has not been completely re
paired.
Tbe ancient history of the two principalities is
shrouded in darkness. Wo know only that this
country, formerly called Dacia, was occupied by
s warlike people, wbo cultivated their fields during
tbe warm season, and spent the rest of their time in
millitary expeditions. The Emperor Trajan, tired
of their robberies, penetrated into Dacia by means
of a magnificent bridge built over the Danube,
fought tbe Barbarians, and in spite of their obsti
nate resistance, forced them to submit to his em
pire. Dacia then became a Roman province ; and
n order to re-people the country devastated by
wars, Trajan sent there many Latin colonists who
became masters of the soil. This explains why
the Moldo Walachian language is a Roman or Latin
idiom intermingled with Balavonian expressions.
This people are prond of their descent from the
ancientcompanionsof Ctesar.
Moldavia and Walachia were successively tra
versed by the Goths, Huns, Bulgarians, and others
who invaded the Roman empire. The two pro
vinces became a heap of ruins. In the ninth cen
tury, tbe celebrated missionaries Methodius and
Cynl, were sent there by the patriarchs of Con
stantinople, and communicated to the inhabitants
some knowledge of Christianity. The Roman
pontiffs claimed the supremacy over these new
1 Jhristiancommunities: but it was contested vigo
rously by tho high aignataries of the Eastern
church, who after a long time triumphed. The
Moldo Walacbiaus have thus belonged, from the
beginning to the orthodox Greek church, and
naturally unite with the Russians. Their religion
is mingled with many errors, and their worship is
very gross. Each of the two principalities has an
archbishop resident in the capital of the State, and
subject to the jurisdiction ofthe patriarch of Con
stantinople. The papas or parish priests, being
poorly educated and poorly paid, do not enjoy
much consideration. The monks have a high repu
tation for sanotity; from them are chosen the
chief rulers of the charch, bat they arc as ignorant
as the priests. Both seem incompetent for the in
struction of tbeir flocks.
As to the political state of theMoldo Walaohians,
they were tributaries for some ages, of the Eastern
Empire, which sent them governors called despots
or lord*. When the chiefs of the Lower Empire
were too feeble to protect them, the inhabitants of
tho Dannbian provinces implored the aid of the
Foies, who formed then the most powerful north
ern nation. Then they fell under the Turkish
yoke, and were annexed to the Ottoman Empire
in 1529, undertbe reign ofthe Sultan Solimon 11.
They retain by treaty thoir hereditary princes,
their religion, their civil laws, but the government
of Constantinople, having placed garrisons in all
the forts and cities of the country does not respect
treaties. It loads the Moldo Walachians with
oppressive taxes, appoints governors, who pur
chase their offices by large sums of money, and
treats tho poor inhabitants as slaves who deserve
no pity.
In this sad condition, the Moldo Walachians
turn for help to Russia, which, since the beginning
ofthe eighteenth century, under the reign of Pe
ter the Great, has aoquired a preponderating
power in the East. The Muscovite czars are eagor
to interfere in the affairs of the Danubian pro
vinces, political and religious interests impel them
in this course; and in proportion as the St. Pe
tersburg cabinet succeeds against the Turks, it
usurps more extensive rule in the principalities.—
The progress of this ursurpation is striking.—
Russia asked, by the treaty of 1774 with the Otto
man Porte, the right to meditation in favor of Mol
davia and Walachia. The treaty of 1828 changes
this meditation into the right of representation —
Then, in 1829, by the treaty of Adrianople, the
right of representation becomes one of guaranty —
This is not all; tbe right of guaranty beoomes, in
1834, the right of protectorate \ that is to say, noth
ing can be done in tbe two provinces without the
approbation of the Muscovite government. Just
now, the right of protectorate takes the form of a
right of occupation, and sooner or later, this last
will be interpreted as a right of annexation ! Give
Russia the finger, and she will take the hand 1
Tho two principalities have been governed, since
the intervention of Russia, by hospidars, a word of
Bclavic origin, signifying lords. These civil and
military chiefs were at first chosen by the nobles
of tho country. The sultans afterwards usurped
the choice ot governors, and bartered the office
scandalously to the Greeks of Constantinople, who
sought it only to enrich themselves by cruel exac
tions. Walachia, in tho space of 70 years, was
under the authority of 40 different hospidars, who
exhausted the resources of the province. The
situation was intolerable. So Russia stipulated, in
1792, that tho hospidars should be appointed for
seven years. Subsequently the boyards, or nobles,
recovered the right of choosing their governors.
Tho hospidars were appointed for life, but on con
dition that the choice be agreed to by the Sublime
Porte and approved by Russia. Indeed, the, prin
ces of Moldavia and Walachia have never been in
dependent. The prefects, or subaltern governors,
go to get their instruction at St. Pctersburgh; and
if they displease the Muscovite government, they
are soon deposed from office. Although appoint
ed for life, Prince Ghikas for example, who was at
the head of Walachia, was sent away unceremoni
ously.
The population of the Danubian provinces is
divided into several distinct classes. The boyards
hold the first rank. They monopolize tbe political
power, own almost all the territory, and pay no
taxes for their land. They are a foudal and pri
vileged aristocracy, in the full meaning of the
word. The peasants have ceased, indeed, to be
serfs as in Russia; they have certain legal securi
ties, and are masters of their persons and labors.
But these rights are more nominal than real. The
peasants live misorably, under the brutal yoke of
the boyards, and are stupid and ignorant. The
artisans who lived in the cities, have instituted
corporations to defend their privileges. Commerce
and navigation are in the hands of foreign mer
chants, Germans, Russians, Greeks, Armenians
and Jews. The number of Jews is very large,
owing to the recent emigration from Poland and
Russia; it amounts to at least 60,000. These dee
cendants of Jacob are, as everywhere, skilful, ac
tive, and rich. The provinces contain, lastly, near
ly 120,000 Bohemians or Gipsies , who are domes
tics or slaves of the boyards; they have no civil
rights, five in abject proverty, and in some cases
can be sold by their masters.
The laws are a compound of the old Roman code
and Sclavonian customs. A new penal code, and
a new commercial code havo been promulgated:
but they are poorly observed. The hospador ex
ercises alone the executive power. The boyards
jointly with some ecclesiastical dignitaries composo
the legislative power or Divan; they meet annually
to discuss bills, and make appropiiations which
are proposed to them. This constitution would
be tolerable, if it was put in practice by intelligent
and liberal men. In the present state of the prin
c'P?*it'e3 > it is an engine of oppression, rather than
of liberty. The Moldo Walachian army amounts
to 52,000 soldiers. The officers are chosen from
the aristocratic families, and the colonels or officers
of high rank are for the most part foreigners.
Russia takes care to have some of her generals ap
pointed, so that this army may be always at her
disposal.
The manners of the people are simple and rude.
Some ol the wealthy copy European habits at Bu
charest and Jassey; they love display and luxury
and are somewhat acquainted with the literature
of Germany and France. But the mass of the na
tion remain sunk in ignorance. Moldavia and
Walachia, with fourmillions of inhabitants, do not
furnish there thousand students for the colleges.
Theological instruction is given in some monas
teries; but a meagre abridgment of the church
fathers serves as the text book for all their instruc
tions.
The soil is fertile, and might porduce abundant
ly ; but unhappily agriculture ib still very back
ward and defective. The boyards understood
nothing of it, and the peasantry are not stimulated
to make improvements because they are not owners
of the land. The training of sheep and of bees be
gins to be attended to with more intelligence. The
Danubian provinces possess mines of iron, oopper
quicksilver, sulphur, coal; but they are not work
ed. The present exports of Walachia are valued
at about 40 millions of francs, and the imDorts at
80 to 82 millions.
In a word, the Moldo Walachian principalities
have before them a magnificent prospect of wealth
and power, if they succeed in gaining their inde
pendence, and in entering on the great career of
civilization. They have a repugnance to Bnssia
and rightly; their prosperity depends on the re
covery of their nationality. x.

POLITICAL.
u How Things ore In Newton.”
A REPLY TO THE “cmXXN VOTE*.”
It Has not been my ambition to engage in news
paper strife, or to appear in print iu connection
with the party contentions that arise in the affairs
of oonnty elections. The incidents of County pol
itics are not usually of sufficient interest to be de
tailed in the public prints: and lam still more a
verse to any altercations of a personal nature
through tbe medium of the papers. The public
mind, beyond the limits of the county, has but lit
lie interest in these transactions; and less, in the
bitterness of temper, the personal animosities and
acrimony which are so apt to be engendered by
factiousness and strife in the managementof coun
ty matters. The reoent publication in the Chron
icle A Sentinel of an article over the signature of
“ A Citizen Voter,” containing an account of
“ Things in Newton County,” and containing per
sonal allusions to the names and condnct of my
self and other individuals, has rendered it neces
sary in justice to tbe truth of facts, and to myself,
that I should not suffer its statements to go before
the public without contradiction. It is in many im
portant points of fact unfounded aud untrue; and
in tbe use it has made of my nume,an ill temper and
spirit of injustice is evinced, which I am quite sure
cannot be applauded by a just community. This
article has beon industriously circulated by the
issue of a largo number ot the paper containing it.
I ask the privilege of a reply, not more for the pur
pose of vindicating myself and the large body of
our party who acted with me, than of submitting
to the public, as it has been drawn in question, a
correct and impartial history of affairs os they
have actually occurred in the county of Newton.
The statement which I am about lo submit, will
not only contradict, in some important particulars,
the representations of tbe article in question, but
it will serve to exhibit tbe causes and dangers which
threatens to destroy in the approaching elections,
and perhaps permanently, the large majority which
has so long and so justly beeu the pride and boast
of our party in this County. Our political oppo
nenta have made repeated efforts lo disunite our
party, and thus destroy this large majority, but
without success. We have stood united for many
years; and not until the recentunfortunatooccur
rences which have taken place, and which have
arisen in oar own ranks, to devide and sunder us,
has the solid phalanx of oar party been broken.
In order to bring to view tne true state of affairs
as they now exist, it will be necessary to recur to
the origin of onr troubles, and tolook to ocourren
ces a little anterior to tbe meeting on the 23d of
August, which developed the efforts of the writer
in question.
On the day of— last, a large Tetn
>erance meeting, without distinction of parties, was
laid in Covington for the purpose of carrying out
tbe views of the Atlanta Convention of tho 80th
June. This meeting was ably and eloquently ad
dressed by three geutlemon—Professors of Emory
College—two of whom were known and zealous
members of tho Democratic party, and the other a
Union Whig. Their zeal for the oause in which
they were engaged, wbioh I know they sincerely
regard as “the paramount question,” far exceeded
their concern for the harmony of any party, or the
success of any party principles. Tho two first men
tioned could not have had before their eyes, as I
would have, any fear o( distracting tho Union par
ty, and the other devoted to the pulpit and the
moral interests of men so long, that he overlooked
these minor concerns. I do not allude to these
gentiemon disrespectfully—far from it. They are
quietly removed from contests of the political world:
and they are my friends, whom I ardently respect
and love. That Convention adopted the plan of
interrogating the candidates, and requiring a
pledge to carry out the will of the majority as ex
pressed at the ballot-box. as the least obuoxious
mode of carrying oxt their avowed object of sup
pressing theliquor truffle by law.
On the Bame day, the Democratic party held a
meeting to appoint delegates to the Gubernatorial
and Congressional Conventions, and adjonrned
without committing themselves on the question.
The Constitutional Union party also held a meet
ing for the same purposes, and likewise adjourned
without committing themaelves on the Temper
ance movement.
On the first Tuesday in August a Convention of
the Constitutional Union party met, and nominated
myself for the Senate, and Mr. Baker and Mr. Liv
ingston for the House. That Convention adopted
but one single resolution, as follows:
u ßesolved, That we do not require the candidates
that may be nominated by this Convention to take
an active part for or against the Retail of ardent
spirits. But we do require said candidates to car
ry out the wishes of their constituents. And we
will not recognize the claims of any nomineo who
will not comply with the above requisition.”
This Convention was held daring my absence
from home, and its proceedings were unknown to
me until they were published in the public prints.
It has been asserted that this Resolution was in
troduced for the purpose of harmonizing difficul
ties. But it is certainly true that so far from pro
ducing harmony, its effect was just the reverse.
Upon my return home I found our party oonvuls
ed and distracted, to a degree unprecedented in
the party agitations of this County. 1 saw at once
the pernicious results of the Resolution so unfor
tunately adopted.—However pure the motives of
its author, or whatever may have been its merits
or demerits abstractly, its undeniable effect was to
place the Union party of Newton upon tho plat
form of tho anti-retail party, and thus to drive in
to active opposition every member of that party,
who was not in favor of that movement. It has
been also said it was a resolution of compromise
and concession to the anti-temperanco men. I
must confess that it appears to me in quite an op
posite light. It is precisely what the anti-retail
party required, and no more or less. If this is a
compromise or concession, what was the original
ground of the gentlemen who tendered it ? What
do they concede in this Resolution ? Did they pro
pose to carry our party beyond oven the position
of the Atlanta Convention ? and beyond the re
quirements ol the Temperance Convention held in
this County ? This resolution accomplishes all that
is desired by those Conventions. Well, in my opin
ion, such is not the mission of the Constitutional
Union party of Georgia. I was therefore not sur
prised to find a large and respectable portion of
this party in our County indignant and outraged
that they should be excluded and driven out of their
time-honored ranks by the adoption ot this resolu
tion. The proceedings of that Convention had pro
duced a general uproar and confusion, and many
wore tbe complaints made against them. It was alle
eged that thcConvention had been packed to accom
plish this object, and whether tho charge was well
founded or not there were many well authenticat
ed facts to give it the color of truth. The circum
stance that in somo large and populous districts,
delegates were selected by three or four aotive
Temperance men, bb was said: and the fact that
the President ofthe Convention, Mr. John Bass,
was the most prominent of the anti-retail party—
and the fact that the leading men in that Conven
tion were ardent in the cause, added to the fuct
that the Resolution was introduced by a zealous
Temperance man, Mr. "Livingston, and that Mr.
L. himself was nominated, and who upon accep
ting his nomination, unequivocally declared him
self “in favor of Legislation against the Groceries,”
that “he had warred againßt the Groceries upon
the stump, and would continue to do battle against
them to the last.” All theso facts were well cal
culated to give tho meeting rather the appearance
of a Tempe'ance meeting, than a Constitutional
Union Convention. Under these circumstances I
felt that my duty was clear and unquestionable. As
a Constitutional Union man, I saw with regret the
prospect of disaster to that great oaase; I was op
posed to the Resolution because I did not wish
to link a strong and largely triumphant party to
the precarious fortunes of a mere temporary or
ganization. I slbo opposed it, because I deplored
any oonnexion of Temperance or other moral re
forms with party politics. I had taken no part in
the agitation of the question one way or another.
I had from the first deprecated its admixture with
political issues in view of these very results. I
therefore promptly declined my nomination, hop
ing that in another action of the party, which that
course would make necessary, those distracting
questions would be abandoned by the consent of
both sides, and that tbe dangers which impended
would teach us a lesson of moderation and for
bearance. A call of the party was accordingly
made, and was nobly responded to by the Consti
tutional Union men of the party. On the 23d of
August the meeting was held, and it is the pro
ceedings of this meeting whioh has drawn out the
article ofthe Citizen Voter. It was an unusually
large assemblage of our party, and I think fully
and fairly represented every shade of feeling and
opinion ; both Temperance men and anti-Temper
ance men—the friends and opponents of the for
mer Convention ofthe Ist Tuesday, and the nomi
nees and members of that Convention participa
ting in its deliberations, and taking part in its ac
tion.
After the appointment of a Chairman, I was
called upon to address the meeting and explain its
object. I stated that the object which had called
us together was to adopt, if possible, some plan to
harmonize our party, and not to make war upon
each other by agitating our differences of opinion,
and thereby widen the breach which sundered us
as a party. I addressed myself to both of the di
visions into which the party stood distracted, and
urged upon them the imperious necessity of re
pressing, by mutual forbearauco, the agitation
(within our ranks) of an issue which promised no
good, and which would inevitably overthrow the
power of our ancient majority. I took sides with
neither wing upon the merits of their differences,
bat standing between tbs two, upon party grounds,
deplored the excesses and passions which had driv
en them asunder: I invited all of both extremes
to abandon their contentions upon outside issues,
and unite together ae of old upon a political basis,
where we oouldali agree. I declinedto debate the
issue of Temperance further than to state, as can
dor required, some objections and embarrassments
in the Besolntion above quoted, aud which
had operated aa a firebrand in our midst. Tne
writer is mistaken in saying that I based my
decline upon the excuse of professional engage
ments; I based it npon the grounds thati have al
ready indicated. I did say that my name would
not be before my tarty in any actiom and
that even if the objections and difficulties which 1
had stated were out of the way, my professional
engagements and other private reesonß, would
make me prefer not to be a candidate. All these
matters were touched bat lightly, and only by the
way The great object of all that I said was to
draw together the opposing divisions of our
party, and to prevail upon them to lay aside
their qoarrela about questions which had no
legitimate connexion with political issues. This
was “ the olive branch, ” as it has been called, that
I offered. The statement that I “leaned to one
side,” and “walked upon a wire,” is ungenerous
and unjust. I leaned to no side, farther than
frankly to state my objections and difficulties in
the Besolntion upon which my nomination had
been based. I “ walked ’’ upon no “ wire.” I
planted myself upon a platform, broad, ample and
immutable—the Georgia platform, which stood el
evated above the passions and strife that raged
around. I invoked onr friends to quit the shifting
sands of Temperance and Anti-Temperance, and
place themselves with me, upon this glorious plat
form upon which rested the integrity of the Union
and the rights of our State. My views were hear
tily supported by Mr. Reynolds. All that he said
wee for conciliation. In urging the propriety of
throwing out these distracting questions, he stated
very properly that the denomination of Christians
to wnich he belonged, were committed by their
previous resolntions against the Temperance move
ment. I cannot see the chivalry of the spirit in
which our writer alludes to him. Mr. .W. W.
Clark then arose and addressed the house in oppo
sition to the views which I had presented, and was
followed by Gen. Williamson (who has grown gray
in the ranks of our party, ana who now, for the
first time, is classed by the writer with “ disap
pointed factions ” and “ foraging parties ”) in sup
port of the views which I had urged. After the
speeches were delivered a proposition was made
on the part of the Temperance men, by Mr. Jesse
L. Baker, I think, to tins effect, that the two «n
--didatea for the House, Mr. Livingston and Mr.
Lawrence Baker shonld run, and a candidate for
Senate be nominated, and the Resolution adopted
by the former Convention be expunged. As
there seemed to be some difference of opinion
springing up as to the proper plan to be adopt
ed, in order to avoid confusion, and give an
opportunity for deliberating and maturing the
beet mode of harmonious action, I proposed that a
Committee of twenty-five be raised by the Chair,
tq be composed of good men of onr party from
Mth divisions, Temperance men and Anti-Tem
perance men, who should letire and deliberate up
on ell the suggestion* and plans of gtnUamsn,and
report to th« meeting the best’plan of action, un
der all the exigencies of the' case. This proposi
tion was pat to the Hoase, and carried by an over
whelming majority, Mr. J. L. Baker, and Mr.
Clark, and those favoring their views voting against
it. The Committee was raised, and that our people,
may know who composed it. I will- here give the
names of those of the Committee who met and act
ed, and of some who were appointed by the Chair
and did not meet. This I shall do in vindication
ofthe impartiality of the Chair, which has been
impeached by some of onr dissatisfied friends:
R"v. David Cook, Chas. M. Berry, Newton Ander
son, Joseph Mattox, Robert Wright, Wm. Mont
gomery, Dr. Jno. L. Graves, Henry Anderson,
James Glass, Jesse M. Wilson, Dongjass Puckett,
Wm. D. Luckie, Jno. 8. Stanton, Thos. Nelms,
Jesse Haraldson, Wm. Lee, and Robert G. Harper
met and acted. Thomas Moriwether, Dr. Henry
Gaither, Nathan Turner, Groen B. Turner, Thos.
Thorpe, Gen. Williamson, and perhaps some oth
ers, wore designated by the Chair, and did not
meet with the Committee. Daring tho delibera
tions of the Committee, Mr. Lawrence Baker, one
of tho nominees ofthe former Convention, signi
fied to the Committee his determination to decliuo
being a candidate nuder the nomination ot that
Convention, and to co-operate with their offorts
for rte mediation and harmony. Mr. Livingston
being called upon, signified his determination to
run, regardless of any action which tho party
might take. He is now the only one of the three
nominees of the former Convention still in the
field, and is running avowedly upon tho issue of
Temperance Legislation! Tho Committee unani
mously aarreed upon a plan, and reported it to the
House, which was to call a regular Convention of
Delegates, selected by each District, to meet on
tbe Ist Tuosduy in September, whoso duty it
should be to bring out an entire ticket for tho
Union party, and place tho candidates upon proper
grounds. This report was adopted with enthusi
astic unanimity.
It will be proper to mention hore that whon my 1
proposition was carried by an overwhelming ma
ority, Mr. Clark and Mr. Josae L. Balmr aud oth
ers who had acted in tho meeting, aim who were I
irominent in the cause of temperance legislation, 1
est the Court ..ousel A meeting was then called 1
in the np stairs room of a store house, comprising <
forty-five persons, as lam informed, who brought i
out Mr. Wm. W. Clark for tho Sennto, Mr. Liv- t
iugston for tha House, and also as we infer from
the article of the Citizen Voter, Mr. Thos M. Meri- l
wether for tbe House. t
It will be perceived from the foregoing state- 1
mont of facts that the author of the article in t
question, has been unscrupnlous in his narration r
of “things in Newton ;” and that of all tho “mad/' 1:
doings of our peoplo, there is nothing more fran- t
tic than bis utter disregard of truth. He wittily
remarks in his gentlemanly allusion to mo that
“the fables of tho trumpetor is not forgotten.” a
One would think he had made tho fables bis study, t
and that Lis memory was well stored;with them 8
from tho fabulous statements of his letter. Indeed t
I am not so snre that oar scribo has not won for
himself some eclat as a “trumpeter,” by the publi
cation of such statements.
Let me examine somo of the allegations set forth
in his paper. In allusion to tho origin of the
troublesome Resolution of the formor convention.
He says:
“Temperance issues were intended to have been
left out ofthe convention entirely, but a minority
jealous of their liberties, and grown wiser than
their fathers, abjured the time honored democratio
doctrine that majorities rule. They demanded
security. They asked for a “sign.” A Bign was
given. Here it is”—[and then quotes tho Rosolu
tion.] “This was a pacificatory measure, a com
promise resolution, intended as such, adopted as
such. It did not originate primarily, with, the
friends of temperance in that convention.” _ What
an unscrupulous man! Ho denies that thisTom
perance Resolution originated with the friends of
temperance. Tbon the anti-tomperance men were
the authors of it i Mr. Livingston stated to the
whole House on the 28d that lie himself intro
duced it. Is ho not one of the friends of Tempe
rance ? I put your own man—your own eandi
date against you, the man for whom you are so
“thankful to hoaven 1” (1 wonder if he is as
“thankful” for you ?) His public statement bold
ly and fearlessly avowing its authorship, brands
your assertion with falsehood. You say it did not
primarily originate with tho Temperance men. —
Who of the opposite sido originated it? Who of
the opposition demanded that Resolution, and
“primarily originated it ?” Who ofthe opposition
were so true to the other sido as to force the Tem
perance men against their wills to adopt a resolu
tion that embodies their purposes, and fully comes
up to the requirements of tho Temperance Con
vention. I wonder that a majority could thus be
forced by a mere faotious “minority” to pass a
resolution they were so niuoli opposed to passing,
and when “thoy were so unwilling to dißtracttheir
party.” But Mr. Livingston is against you. I
leave you and the candidate to settle it. His
public statements, and tho known facts of the case
aro against you. How will you “harmonize” it
with him ? I advise you to “compromise,” tender
him “the olive branch,” and settle it the beßt way
you can.
Again this writer speaks of a “minority abjuring
tho time honored Democratic doctrine that majo
rities rule.” Now according to his own showing,
the temperance men went into the meeting of the
23d, participated in its deliberations and endea
vored to control its action. The “citizen voter”
himself we suppose was there. And then because
an overwhelming majority of the meeting frowned
down their efforts to distract the Union party,
they secede from the mooting, and repair to a pri
vate room. Whore then was “tho time honored
democratic doctrine that majorities rule?" Ac
cording to this dootrino they were oloarly bound
by the proceeding of that meeting, and should
now be co-operating in tho plan which tho “ma
jority" adopted. Will you stand up to the “time
honored doctrine,” Mr. “Citizen Voter ?” or will
you say that you pledged yourself to that doctrine
as a temperance man, and not as a citizen ? This
gentleman can easily deny his own principles. In
another place he denies tho very issue on which
his candidates run. He says:
“Fellow Citizons of Newton, tho facts aro before
you, the issue is made. Not whether Liconso or
no License prevail, but whether the action of a
regular nomination, or that of a disappointed fac
tion be supported.” Hero ho denies bis own
issue. Ana now again contradicts himself, and
shows in another part of his artiole that License or
no License is the issue.
“License or No License upon your tickets.” If
a majority said License, Good. If a majority said
No License, they demanded, <Stc. “Here was tho
position assumed, the action taken.”
Thus he contradicts himself. One part of his
article falsities another part. Perhaps othore
should not complain ofthe misrepresentations of
a man who thus falsifies himself.
Again, in various parts of his article he de
nounces the meeting ofthe 23d as a “disappointed
faction”—“a foraging party"—“aconvention form
ed upon tho basis of “taxation without represen
tation.” (What?) “Called for the disruption uud
disgrace ot the first Convention.” He says it ap
pointed a oommittoe of thirty-flvo men, “to sit in
judgment upon tho action ora regular convention
of twenty-throe men, oomposed of delegates from
all the districts of the County, savo one.’’ And he
appeals to his lellow citizeuß, and make the issue,
whether “the action of a regular nomination, or
that of a disappointed faction shall be supported.”
Now in another place ho bays thut in this very
meeting “Mr. J. L. Baker renewed tho proposi
tion of Mr. Clark" which was “that tho offensive
resolution be expunged,” &c. Would not that
have been “sitting in judgmontupon the action of
the regular Convention composed of thirty-throe
delegates?” If this mooting in which Mr. Clark
and Mr. J. L. Baker took part, was a “foraging
Party,” and “a disappointed faction," seeking tho
“disruption and disgrace” of tho other Conven
tion, why do you not visit your wrath upon these
gentleman, for proposing that this same “faction,"
should reverse tho action of the former Conven
tion, by expurging its Resolution. Perhaps this
meeting did not become a “faction,” and a fo
raging party” till after these gentleman withdrew
Again, after making the question “whetbor the
action ofthe regular nomination, or that of a dis
appointed faction, bo supported.’ He says:—
“Here are our candidates, Messrß. Livingston and
Merriwether for the House, and Wm. W. Clark
for the Senate, true, tried, patriotic! mon. Does
this writer gravely assert that Mr. Clark and Mr.
Merriwether were brought out by the “action of a
regular nomination?” By what convention ? By
the “regular convention,” whose action you uro so
iealous to defend ! I thought you said in another
part of the article that “that convention after brief
and harmonious sitting, presented for the suffrages
of the people three true and tried Union men—
R. G. Harper for the Senate, Alfred Livingston
and Lawrence Baker for tne lower House.”—
This seems to be the nomination made by that
convention. And yet againyou prosentthe names
of Mr. Clark and Mr. Merriwether, and say,
“They are the nominees of the Peoplo’s Conven
tion.
Again, who does this writi r call a “disappointed
faction ?” Does he mean the overwhelming ma
jority of tho meeting, which carried my plan ? If
ho does, I ask, who looks mest like “a disappoint
ed factum" the great body of the Union men in
the Court House, acting for the harmony of their
party, and the good of tho country or the

*He sajs that the nominees he presents “are
running upon the platform of the Constitutional
Union party." But I shall show before 1 have
done, that the Temperance issue, on which they
are running, and on which they are brought out,
is a plank which the noble author and architect of
that platform, Mr. Jenkins, rejects.
Let me advert to the representation he gives of
what i said in my speech : he says :
Besides, he was one of those whoiegislated as he
pleased, not as the people wanted him to do—
when As went to the Legislature he expected to go
“on his own hook.” Every word of it I pronounce
utterly nntrue. I used no such language as is at
tributed to me and expressed no such sentiments.
li On hit ou>n kook" in quotation marks! I did not
use the saying nor anything like it. The whole
quotation is a black torrent of nnprovoked and
malignant falsehood. I wonder if it was among
the “instructions” of his “fathers” which he is de
termined “shall not be lost,” that he should in
dulge in this spirit towards his fellow men, who
have done him no other harm than respectfully to
differ with him in opinion. Is this the “war”
thep taught him to prefer -a war of newspaper
defamation? I will venture to say that whatever
may be the merits of the cause he is so ardently
enlisted in, it cannot be greatly promoted by the
arts of destruction and anonymous abuse. No ; I
said no such thing as he attributes to me. I said
in substance, that if I were a candidate I could not
pledge myselfto carry out the undefined will of a
majority, before it could be known what its will
would be. That I should make known my princi
ples to all who might inquire them, openly and
fearlessly, and run upon their merits.
It is not a supposablc case that a man would be
elected by a majority opposed to his principles, if
he were honest enoogh to make known his princi
ples. This noise about the will of the majority, is
all a humbug, a clap-trap, an ad captor,don piece
of sophistry. If a candidate makes known his prin
ciples and is elected upon them by the votes of a
majority, the presumption is that that majority
will be with him in his principles; and it will re
quire no pledge from an honest representative to
carry out principles which he and bis constituents
both entertain. These men who talk so loudly
about pledges, are not the best to keep them. Some
have forgotten the pledges they made never to re
sort to law, for the promotion of temperance. And
we shall see whether our friends who are so zeal
ons for the will of the majority, will stand up to
their doctrine after the election. If the majority
proves to be against them in the county will they
abandon their cause i Legislation is the act of the
supreme power of the whole State—if the majority
in Georgia is against them will they be as zealous
to carry out its will as they profess ? Let the fu
ture determine.
It is nonsensical gamon to say that “they do not
wish to make temperance a subject of legislation
unless the majority wills it." That is, they do not
wish to do it if they find they cannot do it. That
far all men defer to the will of the majority. How
conld a minority legislate! Do our friends pledge
themselves to ao more than other parties when
found in the minority ? Do they pledge them
selves to abandon their principles and fall into the
advocacy and support of the principles of the ma
jority, if the majority is against them i If they do,
we snail see whether they will keep the pledge or
whether they will say they pledged themselves as
temperance men and not as citizens.
I promised to show that the great author of the
platform of out party rejects the plank of temper-

■ auoe legislation. I show it by presenting an ex
tact of the card ot Mr. Jenkins and Mr. Johnoon,
- and I can the attention of both political parties to
J c, *■' a T? fri *nda of the temperanoe reform, and
L bid all enlwted In it God-speed in every legitimate
1 effort to advance it. We think the oause is more
■ likely to be injured than benefited, by being con
nected with the political oonteata of the day.”
In conclusion, let me say to the people of New
tou that my effort haa been not to injure the oause
of Temperance, but to prevent the unholy ollianoe
ofthe oause with the politics of parties. This has
been my object, and the object of those who have
co-operated with me, many of whom have always
been the ardent friends of the temperance reform.
Wo have acted and still act from the sincere oon
viction that while the cause has nothing to gain
from being connected with party contests, snd
much to lose in ail probability; on the other hand
much evil may result to the country by the dis
traction and overthrow of a great poiitioal or
ganization, ffliiuh upheld the Union when it shook
to its centre, and whose mission is to maintain the
great principles whioh are to control for our social
and political weal tho destinies ofthe republic.
When our “Citisen Voter” appears before the
public again, let me request him to throw off the
Lion’s skin, as there are various conjectures, and
some ouriosity to see him. lam afraid he will be
slain in the fierce “battle” whioh he says “mußt,
and will be fought,” and in whioh he seems de
terminod to “perish.” What a “Leonidas” he is I
Ho will sell his life dearly, and will probably kill
some of the “Xerxes” family before he is slain.
Great pity that he should fall 1 a warrior so chival
rous and a scholar so ripe! His friends ought to
porsuade him out ofthe battle field, or take him
by force, to preserve him as a scholar. Look at
tuo pootry he quotes about the “sick monkey” and
the poor “dog’ f that went “distracted.” (I wonder
if that wasn’t poor Tray ?) He quotes Bums too,
off-hand, at least one would suppose so from the
minor inaccuracy of his lilts. He seems deeply
read from the signs of his letter. He has read
Leonidas and Xerxes, yea, all the Xerxeaeß, and
there is tbe “Hosannas.” Yes. he has read the
“Hosannas,” and we may fairly suppose Soylis
aud Chary bdis, (if he has forgotten the orthography
of the latter.) He is almost equal to the profound
Irish school-matter, who had read snoh a series of
the olassios, Vulcan, Venus, and Nieodemns.
Well, if ho does fall “like Leonidas and hit little
band," I can’t help it 1 I warned him in time—
but if he falls, I must not forget the obligation I am
under to him for assigning me tho office of “Trump
ter” in “the battle.” I must have his ruins inter
red with the honors of war, and then I must write
him an “epitaph.” Let me write it, for he hastens
to Tnormopylie. Here it is—
“HlO ZAOIT ASINUS MOBTIIUS 1”
Those of the Constitutional Union Party who
are not lost in “battle” will meet in Convention

“The Hour come* for Decision and Action.”
We are indebted to the Columbne Enquirer for
the following excellent article, whioh should be
oarefully read by every voter.
As the oleetionapproaohes us the prospeet grows
more gloomy to tho eyes of the disunion editors
their oonrso becomes more desperate and, of con
sequence, more reckless. Tbe people will not obey
the orders of sneh leaders and fall into line at their
bidding. Iu Bpite of all the eoaxing and threats
that have been literally showered on the citizens of
Georgia; in spite of all the appeals made in behalf
of tho President and his administration, there
seems to be a silent yet powerful influenoe, now
swaying and controlling tho pnblio mind, which
threatens the overthrow of that vile and viilainons
combination whioh the national Executive is at
tempting to form aronnd him. Onr fellow oitizens
will ask themselves what interest they have in
plaoing the political power ofthe State in the hands
of a sot of men who desire to transfer that power
to Franklin Pierce, and through Mm, to the aboli
tionists of the North. There is no way toprevent
such questions from arising in the minds of an in
telligent people, and thoro is no way to prevent
such a people from looking to their own security,
and acting on the conviotions of their own judge
ments.
W hen the feet first became apparent that the in- 1
famous incendiaries who fell into the support of '
the present Executive probably with an under
standing that they were to share largely in the of
fices and patronage of the Government, were taken
to the bosoms es the President, and honored and
cherished and fattened in ofiioe, onr Southern co- ,
temporaries for a whilo stoutly denied the hard im- i
pcachment. After a while, however, the proofs
grew too numerous and of a ohaructor toe stub
born for the most unblushing to deny, and then
tho poor apology was offered that as these sweet
scented apostles and disciples of Giddings and
Garret Smith, and Garrison and Hale aided the .
President in his eleotion, he was bound to reward
them evon at the sacrifice of Southern interests and
his own plighted honor. Is suoh an apology aa
this satisfactory to the people of Georgia, ana do '
our cotemporaries expect that they oan so stultify
their readers sb to impose such an apology upon
thorn ?—W o know that large calculations are some
times made on the ignorance of the great mass of
our follow-men, but this is draft whloh would
hardly be honored if drawn on the Inmates of the ‘
Lunatic Asylum.
The appeals now urged on the voters of the State
to support the friends of Pieroe for State offices .
ar.d thereby identify the destiny of our people
with the fortunes of his administration, is a direct !
insult on every friend of the South who dreads the
Abolition influence. Do you desire to see the offi
ces of tho country given to your worst enemies ?
Thon you havo nothing to do but listen to these
appoals, and by your votes sanction the course
that must inovitably lead to your own ruin. Do
you dosirc to let tho President know that you ap
prove of his Froesoil appointments, and will sus
tain him in making others in future? Thon mus
ter at the polls, on tho first Monday in October,
and elect to offico such men as will do his bidding
and bow down the proud and lofty spirit of the
State at the foot of the Abolition idol erected for
our worship by tho Chief Magistrate of tho nation.
But is this likely to bo the case. We think not. (
We havo witnessed attempts before to gull the peo- !
pie of Goorgia. We have heard the appeals es
partisan loaders beseeching their followers to
stand by the party, though the country’s ruin .
should bo tho result. We heard, on a former oo
oasion, tho cry fora Southern Convention, prepar
atory to tho formation of a Southern Conteaeraoy.
We heard the denunciations hurled with most vin
dictive power ugainst every man who dared to de- ,
sire u settlement of the fearful questions, that were
shaking the Union to its centre. We heard the
miserable doctrine urged, that if these questions :
were settlod, it would be the duty of our glorious
old commonwealth to secede from the sisterhood
of States, and brave the horrors of outward war
and inward strife to sustain her isolated existence.
And men justified themselves, for urging such a
course, on the ground that the influence of the
Abolitionists would soon control the government,
and that self-preservation demanded a dissolution
of tho confederacy.
An observing man would naturally oonolude
that these ranters about Southern rights, these
pure and undeflled friends of the outraged South,
who despised tho Union beeause it contained with
in its limits the onion-scented, cheese-eating Free
soilers of tho North, would at this time be maroh
ing to tho city of Washington to drive from his
seat the great patron of the Freesoil olan. But
not so. Tho larger portion of them find in the
President’s conduct every thing to admire. He
must bo sustained whatever the fate of the South.
He may, if ho will, fill every offico within his gift
with our vilest enemies, and yet these sensitive
guardians of our peculiar institutions, so far from
complaining, would applaud tho act. We could
oven then, os now, hear the pathetic appeals of
party leaders and political presses, urging the free
men of Georgia to stand up to the President’s
friends and save the party. Yes, tavtiht party,
though the country and the South perish.
In this State, we should like to know what
party is sought to be saved by such a sacrifice as
the people are urged to make f It is not, of course,
the so called Southern Bights party, for that, we
aro told, has been merged in a more extensive and
more national organization. If we understand,
then, what party is alluded to, it is what used to
be tho national Democratic party. And permit us
here to ask, if that party, as at present organized,
is worth preserving! In the North it is controlled
by the Abolitionists and Freesoilers, and in the
South by the Disunionists and Secessionists.—
Pierce stands at tho head, feeding and pampering
the various branches of the concern, and saying to
them, by arguments, louder than languageever ut
tered, come up to my help and I will give you the
offices of the nation and the money of the people.
And they come. The coalition in Massacnesetts,
Onio, and other States; the Disunionists of South
Carolina, Goorgia. Alabama, Mississippi and their
scattering confederates; the Abolitionists every
where, in every State whore they are strong enough
to bo formidable, are gathered to the fold of the
administration, and constitute to-day a strong and
influential and controlling branch of Pierce’s great
Democratic national party. Is this not true, aud
will BDy of our opponents deny it ?
And the candidates of what is termed the re-or
ganized democracy in Georgia are te be supported
by our fellow-citizens, in order to give strength,
and lifo, and vitality to an organization, such as we
havo described, composed or avery discordant ma
terial, having in view nothing in common but the
spoils of offico and tho plunder of the treasury, and
held together by no political affinity, save the pow
erful desire of party ascendency. The idea with
the leaders, who control and manage this organiza
tion, is, that the ignorant people will fall into ranks,
without thinking of the nature or caring for the
result of the contest, and that they will aid in their
own destruction by electing mem to the highest
office of the State, who seek these offices avowedly
to bolster up the sinking fortunes of the president,
bis freesoil allies, and his national organization.
Away, however, with an idea that would thus
degrade tho high character of the people es Geor
gia. They have been accustomed to think and act
for themselves. They have beeß accustomed to
mark out and pursue their own proud and proper
course, and leave it to time and results to vindicate
its correctness. In an hour of peril, when her
Southern sisters were fearful to move forward, and
the dark clouds of disunion were threatening to
burst upon her, herpatriotsons looked the danger
calmly in the face, stood unmoved amid the war
of fearful elements, and having gathered the will
of the sovereign people met in council, proclaimed
that will, and hushed the roaring of the angry
tempest. The hour approaches for her BOns to act
with the same decision, with the same patriotism,
with the same fearless and unfaltering devotion to
all that is dear to us citizens of the South and mem
bers of the great American Union.
We maybe told that the contest is waged on dif
ferent principles and the result, whatever it may
be, will differently affect the destinies of the State.
It may be so. But we candidly confess that it ex
cites our fears and arouses our apprehensions when
we see the very men that rallied the Disunion
hosts, a year or so ago, now put forward for almost
every important office in the State, and hear the
cry that such men must be sustained in order to
uphold the President in his policy of insulting
and destroying the South. Is there not something
in these things that should arouße the people from
their false security ? Is it not as plain as the noon
day Bun that the people of Georgia are to be
first bound neck and Heels to the car of Judge
Johnson and his Secession confederates, then
handed over to the New Hampshire man with
Southern principles, and finally mixed up in a
motley mess of mongrel politicians under the a
bused name ot National Democrats? Are there any
so poor in spirit, so wanting in all that constitutes
a true friend of the republic as to submit to the
degradation of such a transfer ? Party interests
ana party names may influence some to do so, but
we feel that Georgia has enough of patriotic sons
to bear her untarnished character above the in
famy of such a reproach.

Confirmation or Hebrew Scripture,
We find, In one of our foreign journals a letter
written by M. Viotor Place, tho French, consul at
Mosul, giving an aocount of a three days' f-st ob
served by the inhabitants of tb't Moslem oity, in
commemoration of the peni’enco imposed on the
people of Ninevah by donah. Ho says that the
fast has been kept from time Immemorial in that
oountry, and kspt not only by tho few Christians
there; but by the whole Moslem population. Mo
sul Itself is within sight of tho ruins of Ninovab,
end, oloseby, Is s tomb, traditionally assigned to
Jonsh. It is a striking confirmation of theanoiont
Hebrew writings, thus to find a fast, in commemo
ration of an important event reoorded in them,
still observed almost on the very spot whoro it first
began. Ninevah has been desolate for oonturies;
the snrrounding plains have become a desert; the
Hebrew people tbemselvos have been scattered
over the earth for eighteen hundred yearsyet
still the three-days’ penanoe, enforced on the pop
ulation of that oorrupt capital of theanoiont world,
is kspt, by the few'miserable descendants of tho
old Assyrians, and by the Btrangors who have in
termarried with them, whether Nestorian or Mos
lem in their faith.
M. Viotor Plaoe mentions, in tho same letter,
other faots confirmatory of tho Hebrew Scriptures.
He ssys that there exists, to this day, in the river
Tigris, a fish, armed with terrible teeth, and enor
mous in its size, the vory counterpart to tho fish
mentioned in the book of Tobias. Whut becomes
of the old infidel sneer that no ono could find, in
all MeßOpatamia, a fish that could frlgliton a man f
M. Viotor Plaoe himself has seen ono of theso fish
weighing three hnndred pounds. But this, ho
adds, was a small specimen. Whoever has read
Layard’s volumes, nowovor, uceds but to be re
minded, that Mesopotamia is still full of things re
oalllng the seenessnd in tho old
Testament. The cucumber-gardens overhang the
river exaotly as in the days of Isaiah. Tho boats,
formed of skins, of whioh tho Bible speaks, navi
gate, to thia hour, the waterß of the Tigris. But,
more than all, the sculptures on the disinterred
ralaoss, end the ouneiform writing, ho far as it has
>een deciphered, recall tho chariots of war, tho
bearded kings, the royal insignia, tho manners,
the dress, nay 1 even the names of the monarebs
mentioned In the Hebrew Scriptures. No profane
history, even of ages far less romoto, is confirmed
in this respsot, bv antiquarian discovery, more
completely than the Bible.— PUladdphia Euenimj
A Strange Remedy.
The Paris correspondent of the Daily Register,
of Philadelphia tells some of the strangest stories
of doings in that strange city, whioh weaeoany
where. He has very extensive means of proouring
information, ora very extensive imagination—we
know not yet whiob. The followiag, it will be
seen, is Btated as a fact:
"A singular foot, deserving of attention, has just
been reported to the Medical Academy of Paris,
and many of the faculty were engaged in experi
menta which may result in discoveries of priceless
value to the human family.
“A poor bird-financier, living in one of the fau
bourgs, and earning a modest inoomo by raising
birds for the market, haa a child of three yoars
and a half old, afflicted sinoe its birth with a pul
monary complaint. Bix months ago the dootora
told the father that the cliild’a lungs wero almost
entirely destroyed, and that it could not live long.
About three months since, the little creature seem
ing to bo perishing rapidly, and becoming each
day more and more fretful, the mother placed ita
cradle In the large room where the birds wore kept,
thinking that toe obild might be amused, and for
get its sufferings somewhat, in the noisy society ot
its feathered companions. Tbo child, in utet,
seemed to take an interest at once in watohing the
birds, and after a few days, the mother noticed
that it would lie still for hours, apparently entirely
free from pain, a thing whioh bad not been known
sinoe its birth. The doctor, who still dropped in
occasionally, soon remarked a notable change for
the better in the young invalid, and continuing his
visits more frequently, astonished the parents at
the end of six weeks, by declaring he believed the
lungs were healing. At any rate, the child could
now sit up and play, and began to have an appe
tite.
“ Bat in the meantime a strange malady had at
tacked the birds; they no longer flew about the
room, but remained silent and drooping on their
perches, eating very little and gradually dying off,
one at a time. The ownerseeing this, but little sus
pecting the cause, bad tbe whole tribe removed to
the house of a friend, also a bird-fancier, in the
country, where he thought the pure air might re
vive them. They had not been twenty four hours
in their new abode before they began to get better,
and ill a few days they had resumed all their life
and health. But also the poor child left in Paris
became visibly worse. Tho physician, wishing to
try an experiment, had two birds, a parrot and a
linnet, brought back to the room. In a week they
were both dead, and being opened, tbo doctor no
ticed all the signs of rapid consumption. Tho fact
was immediately reported to several members of
the medical family, and birds of every description
wore sent to tbe child’s room. Every ono of them
died, seeming to give its little mite of life to aid
tbe suffering child to live. The child is not yet
dead, and has been taken to the country, while tho
doctors are busy studying the phenomenon which
chance has thus brought before them.”
The Most Beautiful Hand.—'Two charming wo
men were discussing one day wbat it is which con
stitutes beauty in the hand. They differed in
opinion as much as in the shape of the beautiful
member whose merits thoy wero discussing. A
gentleman friend presented himself, and by com
mon consent, the question was referred to him. It
was a delicate matter. He thought of Paris and
the three goddesses. Glancing from ono to the
other of the beautiful white hands presented to
him, which, by the way, he had tho cunning to
hold for sometime in his own, for purposes of ex
amination, he replied at last: “ I give it up; the
question is too hard for me ; but ash the poor, and
they will tell you that the most beautiful hand in
the world is the hand that gives.”
The Weather.— We understand, that the rains
experienced in this neighborhood last week were
very general throughout the country. A friend
informs us that copious showers fell along the
counties bordering on the coast south of this city,
where, in many places, it was much needed. Bains
have been abundant, also in tho contral part es
Georgia, and in South Carolina the rivers and
creeks were very full. The St. Augustine Ancient
City, of the 3d, says that “on Thursday last the
weather was cloudy, with heavy showers from tho
east and southeast.” Forthreedays past we have
had most delightful, bright and pleasaut weather
in this city.— Set. Rtf., 6th inti.
Copper Sheltino.— We are told that preparations
are on foot to erect in East Tennessee the neces
sary works for smelting the copper ore which is
now being taken in such abundance from the
mines in this part of the state. Tho copper is to •
be cast in ingots, and, it may be, wrought into
auoh forms as will adapt it to the wants of tha
trade genrally. A large oapital (now easily com
manded by those who are working the mines) will
be necessarily employed for the purpose. We
learn that seventy-five tons of ore were sent out
from one of the mines week before last. In view
of the fact that from sixty to seventy per eentnm
of the valoe of this ore is not copper, it will readi
ly be seen that by smolting in East Tennessee,
the larger proportion of the cast off transportation,
to market will be saved.— KnoxviUe Rtgitter.
