Attcoipi to Drfeo4 «or. Johnson.
In reference to the % pro‘ectif Uxritf, n lately es
tabiished by Gov. Johnson lor the benefit of Hon.
Mirk A. Cooper; also, as to the appointment of
R bert J. Cowart to an effie* l created by His Excel
lency, the Federal Union undertakes to reply. To
the first charge, the Union Las the following. We
give its own words:
“The change in the tariff of freights of E owah,
Maj. Cooper's Depot, (ne being the “individual”
referred to above) was male in por-uance of an
understanding effected mote than twelve mouth*
a £o. The change applies to all shipments without
difccrimination in favor of any one individual.
The insinuation io the charge above, that Gov.
Jahnson used the State money to brxbe Mark A.
Cooper, ar.d that Mark A. Cooper received the
bribe, is, in the opinion of every man who knows
theae gentlemen, too contemptible to be lor a mo
ment entertained.”
Indeed 1 The change “was made in pursuance
of an understanding effected mor than twelve
months ago.” Does that make it right ? It it was
just and proper that such change should be made in
Maj. Cooper’s freights, why was he btffhd out of
his rights so long ! Why was this “act of justice”
deferred until on the very eve of the election?
Why was be kept out of his rights until he had
committed himself time and again against the re
election of John-on t Why d’d the Governor re
fuse »o lend a listening ear to tbes ejust appeals of
Mej. Coop jr, up to the lime he waa distinctly and
nnequivocally informed, that unless he came to
Cooper’s terms, he would certainly lose that gen-
Ueman’s vote and influence in the present cam
paign ?
But the richest point in tbe Union's defence, is
found in the following sentence : “The ebango ap
plies to all shipments at that point, without dis
crimination in favor of any one individual.”—
That’s true—every word of it. Bat it so happens
that nobody else ships freight to and from that
Depot. It is located less than two miles from
Cartersville, and about half a mile from
another Depot, on this side—and waa built, wc
be'ieve in accordance with an act of the Legislature
expressly for the Etowah Works. We have no
idea that there has been one hundred dollars’
worth of freight passed through the Etowah Depot,
within the laid five yearn, that the Hon. Mark A.
A. Cooper was not interested in—and we believe
that gentleman will bear us out in the assertion
Os course “the change applies to all shipments at
that pointf' and to no other 1 Tnat is just what
the peop'e complain of. Under the circumstances,
nobody but Mark A. Cooper gets freight through
the Etowah Agency. This we persume, no one
who knows anything abont the matter, will deny.
Therefore, can the FeLeral Union ex pect to exhon
orate the Governor from the charge of partiality
to Maj. Cooper, by gravely informing its readers
“that the change applies to all shipments at that
point!”
The tall stilts upon which the Federal Union
p’aces Gov. Johnson and Mark A. Cooper, in re
iarion to offering and receiving a “bribe, 11 &c., is
all well enough. We dislike to see such terms
applied to gentlemen whose positions in the world
would naturally induce pecDle to listen to such
charges, with groat allowance. The Union may
call the “bargain” by any narre it pleases. It
will not charge the facts as they exist; and the
two gentlemen who are bo high in the estimation
of “every man that knows them,” must not play
in the dirt, if they expect their garments to remain
unsoiied.
In relation to Cowart’s appointment, the Federal
Union sa>s :
“ Mr. Cowart’s office was not created by Gov.
Johnson. It was created by Gov. Cobo ; Gov.
Johnson found it in existence, aud continued it,
at less expense to the Road than was incurred by
his predecessor.”
It was a question, a good while, with the lead
ers of the Democracy, whether they would un
dertak sto “ tote” Cowart and bis appointment,
through the present campaign or not. Many con
tended that ho and his appointment would defeat
any candidate for the Executive chair. That the
party cculd not justify Gov. Johnson in making
such an ollice, and filling it with such a man.
There are yet many prominent supporters of
Johnson, who positively refuse to shoulder Cowart
—say they cannot, aud will not carry him through
the contest. Yet the Federal Union, the Govern
or’s home organ, takes the huge load upon its
back, with a resolution that would be commenda
ble in a better cause. A few words abont what the
Union says of his appointment, and wo are done.
When Gov. Cobb came into office, everybody
will remember that the affairs of the State Road
were in a most deplorable condition. That there
were numerous claims of ah kinds against it. Thai
the Road was to be rebuilt and equippod at once,
which would require the immediate and constaut
personal attention of the Superintendent, leaving
him notitno to investigate the multitude of claims
which wore pressing for adjustment. In this state
of affairs, Gov. Cobb appointed Col. Sam’l. Farris,
of Walker couuty, as Commissioner, to examine
into the validity of a certain class of claims. Col
Farris faithfully executed the* trust confided to
him, and made his report to Gov. Cobb and the
Superintendent, long before Cobb wont out of
tfice ; and with his report, it was understood at
tho time, ended his services and salary as Com
missioner. When Gov. Johnson came into offica,
he found tho State K >ad almost rebuilt, from one
end to the other—in complete oondition, and
amply equipped with engines aud cars, and every
thing olse necessary. AH the old litigated claims
oiihor paid or examined and reported upen by
Col. Farris, who had finished his business and
gone homo.
Gov. Johnson found no such offleo in existence
as the one Cowart holds I Nor was there any ne
eessity for any such office, ls there ever was a
necessity, it had passed long before Gov. Johnson
was inaugurated.
There is no question but the office was made ex
pressly for Cowart, and the organ at Milledgoville
cannot deny it by the subterfuge that Johnson
found such an < ®J9.— Atlanta Discipline.
Rot in tub Cotton.—A friend yesterday (says
the Natchez Courier of the 8d inst.) left at our
office a part of a cotton stalk, upon which were
two open bolls of cotton, one sound boll aud nine
teen bolls affected by the rot, and most of them
entirely rotton. Wo learn further, that this is not,
by any moans,an unusual specimen, the rot hav
ing appoarod in many places to a great extent.
Tho planter in whose field the specimen in ques
tion grow, informs us that it will not surprise him
if ho only makes twenty five or thirty bales, in
stead of an hundred and fifty as he expected ton
days ago. Tho disease is not confii ed to his place
—it has appearod on all the surrounding planta
tions. The worst feature about the present rot is
its oarly appearance. Lost year it began in Sep
tember, and cut the crop off a great deal. Begin
ning nowin July, if not arrested, it will do much
greater injury.
Germany, which at the beginning of the war was
decidedly English in its tendencies, is in many
places manifesting unmistakeable signs ot being
Russianized. A letter from Munich, dated Jnly
21, published in the Independence Bulge, states
that tho recent arrest of several Kassian agents
who had boen tampering with the workmen em
ployed at the armory iu that city, had causes the
sadden return ot Severin, the Russian Minieter,
from Nurembnrg to the Bavarian capital.
An important movement is now being made for
the oonstrnction of a ship canal from Toronto to
the Georgian bay in Canada. The subject is being
agitated not only in Canada, but in Rochester, N.
York, in Chicago, and other western lake ports.
The Chicago Board Trade held a meedng on the
6:h inst., at which a circular from tho Toron o
B ard o( Trade was read and discussed. The
Chicago Board appointed a committee to invite the
B'ards of Milwsukie, Toronto, Rochester, Ogdens
burg, Kingston, Oswego, Montreal and Quebec to
nnito in the movements, and petition the Cana
dian Parliament lor a charter. They also agreed
tc oo operate with the Toronto Board in making a
preliminary survey of the route. The Rochester
Democrat s ays that “gentlemen high in the Cana
dian Cabinet are now in London .with a view to
organise a stock company and get a charter from
Parliament, that will meet in Toronto in Novem
ber. It is also understood the Canadian Cabinet
favor the plan, and that the Governor Genera! will
recommend a loan to the company of halfthe cost
of the canal by issuing debentures at three per
cent, interest, guaranteed by the British Govern
ment, that will readily sell at par in Europe.” The
length of the canal will be but eighty miles, and
save nine hundred miles of lake navigation.
Steamer Sunx —St. Loois papers mention that
the steamer Kate Swinney, one ot the bo»ta chat
tered by government to carry stores op tho Mis

Fort St. Pierre, while pacing the foot of Vermil
lion, 800 miles above Council Bluffs, and tore
away nearly the whole bottom of her hull, so that
she sunk in thirty feet water in abont five miuntes
So sadden was the wreck that nothing could be
saved except the lives of the officers and
who made their escape in the boats, and by metna
of them reached St. Joseph, Mo., aix hundred
mile' distant.
Tae steamer was a fine craft, valued at $20,000,
and insured for $15,500. She was owned by her
commander, Capt. Choteao, who before he let*
sold the wreck for SSOO to a pirty ot emigrants

she snuk, and who immediately commenced the

Religions Liberty— Marylacd-Cbanrellor Kent.
Messes. Editors:—ln Kent’s Commentaries on j
American Law, (vol. I. p. 644 of the late editions, j
or 11. 85 of tbe old) the following passage occurs: j
“The Legiri stare of Maryland Ltd a.ready, in j
1649. declared by law, that no persons professing j
U) believe in Jesus Christ, ahoa ! d bs molee'eain j
respect of their religion, or in the free exer ;..-r j
thereof, or be compelled to ts e belief or exercise of
any other religion, against their consent. Thus,
to use the words of a learned auA libe"al historian,
the Catholic plante s of Maryland, procured to
their adopted country, the di tieguised prt -e of
b-iinir tne first of the American States in which
toleration was established bv l*w; and while the
Puritans were persecuting their Protestant breth
ren in New Eofiand, and the Episcopalian* retort
in* the same severity oc the p.»ri*ans in Virginia,
the Catholics, tgainst whom ’he others were com
biped, formed in Maryland a sanctuary where ail
might worship, und none might oppress and where
even Protestants sought refuge from Prolestant in
tolerance.”
New, Mesers. Editors, those who like my hon
orable friend, Mr. btephece, superficially,
may suppose that this passage affords “ proof over
whelming against” me. On examination, how
ever, it will be found like the quotations from
“ Grimshaw,” to overwhelm those who oppose me.
It is a little singular, that Chancellor Kent should
have scffsred the same Fourth of July oration
style to creep into mutty Jaw that Mr. t
has introd' ced into solid history. Yet such is the
fact. On inspection, it will be B f en, that the
flourish about religious liberty, in the above ex
tract, is based entirely on the so-called Toleration
Act of 1649, that act so celebrated in history, and
so often referred to by me in previous art'cles,
which, while it eecured rePgious liberty to some,
secured cUath for religious opinions to others. Ah
no superstructure can be more stable than the
foundation on which it stand*; so nothing that
Chancellor Kent has said about the religious liber
ty of Maryland can be stronger than the law itself,
on which his comments are based. When we re
member that the act of 1649, enacted death for re
ligious opinion, we see that Chancellor Kent’s
foundation is an airy nothing, and that the showy
superstructure which he has built upon it crumbles
to dust. No comment on a law, even if the com
ment come from Chancellor Kent, can make that
law different from what it is. If a law is intolerant
aud merciless, eulogy will not make it tolerant and 1
merciful. It is worthy of remark, that even in the
text of Kent as above quoted, the religions liberty
spoken o', is clearly limited to those who 44 believe
in Jesus Christ,”(’xc*udiDg Jews of course as well
as many others,) and in the later editions there is
a foot note, which states that the toleration of 1
Maryland was limited to Trinitarian Christians.—
It is immaterial, however, what may be found in 1
the text or in the foot-notes of Kent, so long as
the law itself, on which he commonts, is accessi
ble. That law we have; and its terrible and bar- 1
barous provisions contradict the assertions of all
who say that it established religions liberty, be they <
who they may .
From what has been said, it will bo seen that 1
there is nothing in the passage quoted from Keut,
which invalidates my position, viz: that in Mary
land under Lord Baltimore, religious liberty did
not exist. But this is lot all. Chancellor Kent
not only dees not weaken the force of what I have
said, but be confirms and strengthens it, and
“overwhelms” the gentleman who wus my oppon- 1
ent. For it is to be presumed that the distin- 1
guiehed author of the “Commentaries on Arneri ;
can Law,” was acquainted with all tho legislation
o< Maryland from the beginning. In speaking of
t ie religious liberty of that State, he bases all his
laudations on the act of 1649, from which itisclea r
that he considered that act as the earliest and best
part of the legislation of Maryland, on which to 1
ground his complimentary remarks. If there had
been an earlier law, he would have named it and 1
commented on it. If there had been a better law,
he would surely have named that Now, Mr. 1
Stephens has disavowed the act of 1649, and says
that the liberty of which he speaks was established '
before that time. The testimony of Chancellor *
Kent is very clear, that before that time, there was
no law establishing religious liberty, for ho seizes f
upon the act of 1649 as the most creditable point f
in all the history of Maryland, and thus utterly
ignores the position of Mr. Stephens, and tabes his 1
foundation lrom under him. Mr. S. says that ‘
liberty was not established by the act of ’49; Kent 1
says that it was not established before ’49. The (
tact is, it was never established under Lord Balti- 1
more stall. This last proposition may be estab
lished by statements in Kent’s Commentaries, to 1
be found on tho very same page with the extract
above quoted. Says Keut, (1, 645) “the charter of
Rhode Island of 1668,” contained “an unexampled 1
declaration of the rights and sanctity of con- *
science.” Yet, that charter secured nothing more 1
than perfect liberty. And if in 1668 perfect liberty 1
was “unexampled,” all the liberty that existed 1
biforo that time must have been imperfect, and *
therefore not liberty at all. Thus, by tho u;->e of y
that word “unexampled,” has Kent swept away all €
the claims of Maryland to liberty, both boforo 1649 c
aud after it, clear down to the year 1663.
In short, every well-read man knows, that the *
act of 1649 is called The Toleration act, par excel t
lence, and is celebrated in history as the brightest a
page on tho statute book of Maryland. Tho world r
has oLen been challenged to show any thing bet- €
ter than this in the laws of that colony; but no t
such law has ever been produced; nor does it I
exist. Tho act of 1649 is the subject of all tho
encomiums that have‘pasaed upon Lord Baltimore’s d
legislation; aud t at act, while it protected the o
strong, breathed slaughter upon the weak. It h
whipped, it fiuod, it imprisoned, it banished, it *i
confiscated, it murdered. If this is toleration, ti
what would be intolerance? All tho talk about t
liberty in colonial Maryland, from what quarter I
soever it comes, is mere rhodomoutade. Mr. t
Stephens may eulogise the spirit of Maryland if ho i
pleases, but it was a spirit whioh nothing bat the
grave could satiate. i

Mb. Editor:— ln previous communications on
the snVjuet of religious liberty iu colonial Mary
land, 1 have based my remaiks, chiefly on the or
dinary histories by Bancroft and Hildreth. 1 have
done this, not because these ore the best authori
ties on this subject, but because, to the generality
of readers, they are the most accessible. Besides
these, there are other and better witnesses, whose
evidence is even more clear and satisfactory. The
witness now about to be introduced, is endorsed
by the Maryland Historical Society ; and conse
quently his testimony is valuable, not only in pro- 1
portion to his own distinguished character for
literary ability and historical veracity, bat also, in
proportion to the dignity of the Association of
gonllemeu iu Maryland, whom he represents. 1
respectfully present to my readers, 8. E. Streeter,
Esq., of Baltimore, the author of au elegant pam
phlet, entitled “ Maryland 200 Years Ago," tho
contents of which were delivered in the shape of
au annual address, before the Md. Hist. Soo. iu
1852. The following extracts from Mr. Streeter’s
work, will speak for themselves: (p. 26.)
“Tbe policy of Lord Baltimore, in regard to re
ligioiu matters iuhis colony, has in some particu
lars at least, been misapprehended and therefore 1
mia stated. Thefassertion has long passed uncon- I
tradioted, that toleration was promised to the col
onists iu the first conditions of plantation; that
the rights of conscience were recognized in a law
passod by tbe first assembly held in the colony; !
and that tho principal officers from the year 1636 or
’B7, bound themselves by au oath not to molest on
account of his religion, any one professing to be
lieve iu Jesus Christ. 1 can find no authority tor
any of these statements. Lord Baltimore’s first
und earlier conditions of plantation, breathe not a
word on the subject of religion; noac recognizing
the prinoiple of toleration was passed in ihe first or
in any following assembly, nntil fifteen years after
the first settlement, at which lime (1648) a Protes
tant ha 1 been appointed Governor, and a majori
ty of the burgesses were of the same faith ; and
when, for the first t.me. a clause involving a pro
mise not to molest any person profeesing to be
lieve in Jesus Christ, the words “and particularly
a Roman Catholic” were inserted, by the direction
ot Lord Baltimo-e in the official oath.”
From this extract, it will be seen, that tho author
utterly repudiates anything like even half way
toleration, in Maryland anterior to 1649. His
statements differ somewhat, from those made by
me in former communications, bat iu each ins.ance
tbe difference makes against Lord B. For in
stance, the oath to 'he first Governor which (fol
lowing Bancroft and Chalmers) I placed at the
beginning of the history of the colony, is here
placed fifteen years later. Moreover, tho object of
the ~ath, as will be seen by its phraseology, was
tho special benefit of Roman Catholics. Tho
words “ particularly a Roman Catholic,” inserted
by Lord Baltimore and omitted by Bancroft, show
that after all, the objeet of his Lordship was not
tbe toleration of others, so much as tbe protection
of himself. Another extract from Mr. Streeter’s
work is as follows : (p. 47.)
“ The impression is somewhat prevident, that
to our State belongs the honor, of tbe first legis
lative movement in ravor of religious toleration on
this continent; but such is not the fact. As early
as 1645, an act in favor ot tbe broade-t toleration,
more comprehe:eive even than that of Maryland,
since it included the Jew and the Tark, was brought
before the representatives of those, who 25 years
before, had landed on Plymouth rock. A msjori
ty of the deputies, and three of tho assistants,
were in tavor of the act; but the Governor re
tased to put the question and stifled the law.
Thus nothing but the hesitancy ot a timid magis
trate, prevented the Puritan pilgrims of Plymouth,
from bearing away from the Roman Catholic and
Protestant pilgrims of Maryland, the honor ot the
second legislative recognition on this continent, of
the rights of eonsc enee.”
I beg my readers in general, and my friend Mr.
Stephens in particular, to notioe that all that is
here claimed for Maryland, is the henor of being
“ second, ' &c- I must call attention also to the
fact, that the writer in claimirg even this second
honor, is speaking of the act of 1649, which after
all did not recognise the rights of conscience, bat
mnrdeied men for conscience sake. The writer
himself implies that the “Jew and the Tark,” were
not “included” in Maryland toleration. To
whom the Marylanders themselves, accord the
first honor, may be aeen from what follows.
Says Mr. Streeter, (p. 45.)
“Yet, what the Plymouth oolony failed to do,
through the weakness ot her executive, was actu
ally accomplished intse ‘Prov.dence Plantations,"
the asylum of Roger Williams. Two years before
the session of me Maryland Assembly, of which I
nave spoken, the people of that settlement, for
mally adopted a code, having the democratic prin
ciple for its basis, and containing this noble en
actment: ‘Ali men may wa kai their consciences
oersuaie them, every one in the name of his God :
and let the Saints ot tbe Most High walk in this
co’ony witheut molestation in the name ot their
God, Jehovah forever and ever.’”
It will be observed that this act of Rhode Island,
establishing religious liberty abeUuUty an:, in the
1 broadest sense, and indeed in the only true sense,
»as passed two years before the so called Tolera
, tion act of Maryland in 1649. From Uiis it appesra
j that Maryland, even with tbe pattern set before
her eyee by Rhode 1 aland, was not willing W es
tab’ish absolute liberty. 60 far Ucm being fore
mos- t sht> would rot .- veil loiiow. Ii the did not
eitabiieh re’if. rty, it v not because ah?
bad uot tiioagat 01 u, out because having ih'-ir'H o r
it, she was not willing that it should ex.at. bo ill
the talk about Maryland liberality is mere gas
conade.
From these ex- recta from LLr. Btrceter’s work, it
will be Been: 1. That he denies that there was
anything tiki religious toleration established in
Maryland anterior to 1649. 2. That he claims for
Maryland nothing better than the bloody act of
lt>49. 8. That he ignores the rreteasions of thof-e
who claim that Maryland made even the first
movement lew irds toleration. 4. That he accords
to Rhode Island the honor that I have claimed
for it.
The authority of Mr. Streeter is the more valua
ble—l. Because his work is iater (1852) than most
others, consequently he bad the benefit of the
labors of all who had p r eceded him, and the
further benefit of the criticisms of the press on
their labors. 2. Beoaase his attention was par
ticularly directed to, and all his energy brought to
bear upon the very question at issue, almost to the
exclusion of all others. 8. Because being in Ma
ryland, he had access to original documents, tnd
State archives. 4. Because being himself a Mary
lander, he would be sure to make the best posaibl
showing for bis own State. With all these ad
vantages for correct information, and moreover
endorsed by the Maryland Historical So?ie y, the
Witness substantiates every word that I have said
from the beginning, and thus proves that what
Mr. Stephens said in Augusta was not “strictly
true.”
I am, Mr. Editor, very respectfully yours,
H. H. Tucker.

“ Power is a Tm-t K-l t/rom Go*, for th o-unmon good
and may beforfe ted by abuse. 1 *
The above is from “ A Catholic” in the Consti
tutionalist dk Republ c of last Sunday.
“We hold these truths to be self evident—that
all men ar© created —that they are endowei
by their Creator with certain unalienab e rights—
that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit
of happiness. That to secure these right*, gov
emmeuis are instituted among meu, deriving their
just powers from the content of the a overnod—that
when any form of government becomes destruc
tive of these ends, it is the right of the people to
alter or abolish it, and to inst tnta a now govern
ment.” This is from our Declaration of Indepen
dence.
The above are distinct and diametrically oppo
site propositions. The first is the exponent ot a
principle of vital importance to the Roman Cath
olic Church—and the other is of equal importance
to all Democratic Americans. Both cannot be true
in this or any other country at the same time, and
in this country the ffost is eminently false.
Hero I would seriously suggest to such Demo
crats as may be courting aid from the Catholic
Church, that they, if not directly, are by implica
tion, compromising the fundamental prineip es of
liberty-, a political sin, the punishment of which
may, at no distant day, be visited upen them with
fearful retribution.
It will not do to say, that the Catholic Church
force in the country is small, and consequently ie
not dangerous. Small a3 it may be, you dare not
deceive it, and if you take it by tho hand it will
soon overgrow any limits you may prescribe.—
Sneaking and cruwling, it will be satisfied at first
with the crumbs, but it will live and grow, and
finally kick your children out of the inheritance
which ycurfuthers provided for you.
In tho same paper I observe a defiant challenge
by one “ Thomas Byrne, a foreign born Roman
Catholic,” to meet any of tho Know Nothing ora
tors, within twenty days, at Atlanta, to discuss the
temporal power of the Pope of Rome, &c.
Happening to have a copy of the Secret Instruc
tions of tho Jessuits, —Princeton edition, 1831, —
1 have looked into it with a view of satisfying my
curiosity as to how such a discussion would be con
ducted befote the Democratic people of Georgia.—
1 find chapter 11 ordering “In what manner the
society must deport, that they may work them
selves into, and after that, preserve a familiarity
with princes, noblemen, and persons of great dis
fraction;” audit says: “Princes and persons of
distinction every whore must by all means be so
managed , that wo may have their ear , and that will
easily secure their hearts , by which way ol proceed
ing, all persons will become our creatures .”
In the appendix to this little work we find a
pretty cloar indication of the means to be used.—
Thus Lrinez contended at the Council of Trent,
“that Jesus Christ having the authority to dis
pense with all sorts of laws; the Pope, his vicar,
has tho fame authority.” “ Vallestiguy, deputy of
Alva, presented to Ferdinand, the King of Spain,
this address : “ TLe mass of tho human family are
born, not to govern, but to be governed.” “ Pope
Pius VII in a rescript addressed to his nuncio at
Venice, assorts his pontificial right to depose sov
ereigns ,* but he adds, “ although it is not always
convenient to exorcise the jurisdiction.” By tho
samo Pope: “ All marriages without a Roman
Priest’s colebration, are null and void.” “The
Priests of tho United States, like those of Ireland,
are extromely devoted to the Pope. Thoy aro very
rigorous in their exaetione. In due time, they will
embarrass the Government of the United States, as
those of Ireland have disconcerted the British
Goverumunt.”
These facts will of coarse be denied, but in the
denial we may look for the fall development of
other principles. Thus, in regard to Honesty , it is
held that “servants may steal from their masters
ns muoh as they judge their labor is worth, mare
than the wages they receive. They deal with Truth
thus ; “It is lawful to use ambiguous terms to give
the impression a different sense from that which
you understood yourself.” Again: “Ho who is
not bound to stato the truth before swearing, is
not bound by his oath, provided he makes Internal
restriction that exclude 1 the present case.” With
regard to the authority of the laws, they say : “The
spiritual powor must rule the temporal by all sorts
of means and expedients when necessary.” They
hold with regard to id mioide, that “If an adulter
ous priest, even aware of his danger, having visit
ed an adultress, is assailed Dy her husband, fai’ls
the man in his own defence, it is not criminal.”
Again : “You may charge your opponent with false
crimes to take away his credit, as well as kill him.”
Again: “Ify the command of God, it is lawful to
murder the innocent, to rob, and to commit all
lewdness, because he is Lord of life, and death
and all things, and thus to fulfil his mandate is
our duty.”
With these things before him, can any reasona
ble man expect that u foreign Kotnan Catholic,
(perhaps a Jesuit) governed by principles utterly
subversive of honesty, truth, the authority of the
siatute-laws and human life, will go into a fair
discussion of any question in which the interests
of his creed are concerned. I, for one, think such
a thing utterly impossible. If the challenge is
accepted, the people of Atlanta will have an oppor
tunity of seeing how by pious fraud and dissembled
sanctity tbo friends or the Pope are working tor
the exercise of power over them and the rest of
mankind. Bbotheb Jonathan.

“The Krpbt-w of bia Uncle.”
“ What’s iu a name ?” Tuero is a great deal in
a name. Napoleon Bonaparte was a great man.
Some time after his death, the French thought it
was time for auother Revolution, so they turned
out Louis Fhillippe and made a Republic. Who
should they placo at its head. There were civil
iaus and military men of merit to be found. But
they made President of an apparently stupid fel
low, who bad been living by his small wits in
Erg'and and Russia. Why did they choose him ?
Ho was the nephew of his uncle. His name was
Booaparte. But the idle fellow made a lair Presi
dent—as Emperor he delighted the French, for
when they displeased him ho had them shot down
to their heart’s content.
“ It is lawful to compare small things with
great.” Bathos is sometimes instructive as well as
amusing.
We have, in Georgia, a very respectable old gen
tleman whose name is Wilson Lumpkin. He las
been Senator and Governor and in both capacities
he has behaved well.
So i.e lew years since in this district we wanted
a Congressman. There were men of merit to be
found but we selected “ The nephew of his uncle.”
The nephew woat to Washington, but here the
parallel with the Fronch Emperor ceases. The
Congressman was a negative quantity. Elevation
did not change him.
Now we want a Congressman again. It seems
to me that carrying out the French precedent once
is sufficient. The first experiment haß not been
satisfactory. We should look out for some other
qualification, than being the 44 nephew of his un
cle.” Squib.
Type Setting Macnihe —The editor of the
Montreal Gazette is in Paris, looking at the sights
in the great exhibition there. He writes as fol
lows :
The exhibition is mostoomrlete here, and is ad
mitted to be superior to the London exhibition of
1851. A Western editor and tuyseif have returned
from examining a type settirg and distributing
machine. It does its work correctly and quickly,
and will I have no doubt, supersede hand setting.
Though it locks complicated, it is realiy a very
simple construction, aDd in eight or ten minutet*
t lea ned to set by it. I could set this up in
about a eighth o* the t me 1 ttke to write it. 1
tear, however, 1 shall b 9 unable to give yoa a des
cription that will intelligible to your readers.
The type, instead of being thrown into the boxes
in a case, as tor hand set ir g, are p seed in groves
ot about thtee quarters cf an inch in depth, sepa
rated tromeach other by brass rules like common
rules.
Tney require to be set up in these by hand be
fore commencing to comnose. Then it you want
a letter you toocha key like that ot a piano, which
tosses it into another inclined groove* in which it
slides down a certain distance, when it is lifted
upwrightly by a jerk from a crank—so the types
are carried oj until your line is up, when you
touch a spring and they are dropped into a galley
below which move* along sufficiency at the same
time to receive the next line.
So it goes on till the gatiey is fall, when it is re
moved to be*proved and placed m the form. In
distributing, the reverse action is produced.—
There can be no longer a doubt that, with Borne
slight mrditic ticns, he machine will succeed.—
Steps will immediately be taken to secure a patent
in Canada aud the United States.

cj.ion, w l .ich originally appeared in -g. A — ; c.:g
“Republican"-. Mr. Stephens ha», not unfrequent
ljj daring the present canvass, mortified hia trie
friends by hie excessive egotiem and unstinted
self praise—his boasted love of truth, and “the
truth rs hieto-y." Indeed, on one oecasion he bs
came so inflated vrith his seif importance, as to
overleap all the batriers to nvxieet, in his race of
seif praise, and told hie auditory, “if they wanted
to find where As wa-, to sea* oh for truth, and
wherever toned, there they woaid find Alexander
H. Stephens.”
This was a degree of “media which
few men ever attain; and yet it waa such a cli
max of self praise as might well have inspired his
audience with a profound awe. To have been
thus placed face to face with the consent associ
ate and companion of the Goddess of- Truth,
that most pure and sublime of all the di
vinities, should certainly have excited a general
desire to bow down and worship thie immaculate
self laudator. After such an eloquent panegyric
upon birnse f, we ore ready to exclaim how sublime
and beautiful; bat when the honorable gentle
mans’ practices are portrayed, as :u the following
communication, we pause and mvolnutarily tjaen
late, wbat an illustration of Ail regard tor, and hie
boasted love of truth !
Mr. Editor, I have carefully examined th? table
as published by Mr. Stephens in yonr paper of the
ISth July, and find that the pobitioa of “T. J. K.”
is true to the letter, and therefore invite the at
tention of the pntlic to it. I think it will open
their eyos, to the necessity of eerntiniz ng closely
tho statements ot Mr. Stephens, and to be especial
ly careful to avoid taking them for granted in
future.
I havo no idea, Mr. Elite, that any Democratic
£ iitor or orator in Georgia, who have republished
or repeated Mr. Stephens’ statement, will ever
have the honesty or regard for 1 ruth, to correct it.
We shall see. Burks.
Marietta, Ga., Aug., 1655.
Mr. Kditob :—I have seen and perused very
carefully, a communication from tbe Hyu. A. H.
Stephens, to the Cnroniele «fc Seutiue!, ot the 18th
July, cor recti Dg a typov raphical error which oc
eurred in the Chronicle’s edition cf his speech at
Sparta. In that communication he says:
“1 will take this occasion, also, lo correct some
erroneous and conflicting »tutemects which I have
seen in the ncwapapeis, upon the subject ot the
exact vote on tbe Kansas and Nebraska bill.” He
then gives the yeas and as'he sayß, exactly
as they were given in the House.
It seem strange to me in the extreme that
Mr. Stephens, after l aviug the eptiro
vote upon the tiaal passage Kansas and
Nebraska bill, for the purpose of
errors which ha had seen in the nowspr.pers,
should commit as great an error as those he at
tempted to hcsl. It was certainly not committed
intentionally, bat he that could correct error in
others should be careful not to err himself, lost he
might have that little quotation, which Mr.
Stephens loves so much to q rate, quoted upon
him, Viz:
“ T ruth crushed to ear h sha’l rise again,
The eternal years . f G- d »re h rs,
While error , wounded, w i ht*ain paiu,
And dies amid her wor»h>p ri,”
In what did he err ? He erred in stating the
vo eof half dozen Rtates. Hoar first his statement
and then 1 will give you the vote of all the States.
Alter giving the entire vote of all the Slates upon
the Kansas and Nebraska bill, as he says, exactly
as thoy were given in the Hrase, he then says :
“From this it will bo seen that the six North
western Stctos, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin,
lowa and Michigan, where, it is fa d, the foreign
population controls the election, there were 25
votes given on the bil 1 . of which there were 13
tor it and 12 against it.”
What are the sac’s in this case ? I rely as a
member of tho American party, upon the Con
gressional report and the facts, and that report, too,
a« published lor the inspection of the people of
Georgia, by the Hon. Mr. Stephous. 1 will give
the vote as 1 get it from the republished report ol
Mr. Stephens, and leave every Georgian to judge
for himself of the blunder of tho gentleman.
The voto of those six States is as follows :
Ohio, Ass. 4 Neg. 15 Total 19
Indiana, “7 “8 lo
Illinois, “ 8 “ 5 8
Wisconsin, “ “2 2
fowa, “ 1 “ 1
Michigan, “ 2 “ 2 4
17 Total 27 No, of votes 44
Majority of votes in the negative 10.
Thus stands the vote of those six States where
foreign population controls tho election. So far
Iron) casting only 25 vote* as Mr. 8. saya, there
were 44. And so far from giving am» jurity of
one to the Kansas and Nebraska bill, they gave a
majority of ten against it.
What has Mr. S. and the entire anti-Know Noth
ing party to say to this ? What have southern anti-
Americans to say to these startling facts. Wha*
havo the deft ndeis of foreigners, and the advo
cates of their power, and right to rule , to say
to this ?
Muu are too prone to take the statements of their
superiors as law and gospel. It will do in some
Stales where the people havo no voico in tho elec
tions of their State officers, but it is time for Geor
gians, who havo tho so Jo power of electing all their
principal officers, to lose sight of 6uch a course
and investigate for themselves.
Look but to these facts and you will see the
necessity of ii vestigating for yourselves. Now,
while the foreign population in those States con
trol tbe elections, and we see them giving their
support against the interests of the South, tho
auti American party would mako us believe that
they voted in favor of onr interests.
Yet notwithstanding the chicanery, and tho
cunning, and tho wire workings ol the Anti-Ame
rican party, (sell styled democracy,) I am proud
to know, or ueiieve, that the day has come when
southern men, when national men of every sec
tiow, are deaf to the wrauglings of Demagogues;
and the sons of Georgia have risen up in their
intellectual majesty and said to all party loaders
no longer.' hall I serve you.
Mr. Stephens says iu concluding hia communi
cation, “ lies© aro important facts for the S >nth
to bo informed upon and tocodsidor well &c ” In
this I egroe with him. It was in view ot tho im
por.auee, to the South, of the' elections of those
six S ates that caused me to examine tho record,
und this communication to make tho result known
to tho readers of the Republican. T. J. R.

Mr. Stephen* and Free Discussion.
Mr. Editor:—Mr. Stephens, aud tho party to
which ho has attached himself, or for whose
benefit h : s labors aro intended, profess to be in
favor of full, free, and fair discussion. I desire to
give you a sample of it.
1 received, amongotber gentlemen, an invitation
to attend tho appointment of Mr. Stephens, at
Davis’ Spring, Burke county, on last Saturday,
(18th inst.) 1 accompanied one of the Committee
of Invitation to the place of meeting. But whon
tho hocr for spooking arrived, 1 found that Mr.
Stephens had control of tho order of debate. This
somewhat surprised mo—and, indeed, I could uot
believe it until I put the question directly to him,
if such was the fact. Ho said ho and I wore to
arrange the speaking, and proposod for himself to
occupy two cr t iiee hours in opening, or as long
as ho wished—indeed, all the time boforo dinner,
if ho so desired—l two hours after dinner, and ho
one hour in conclusion. The absurdity of his
proposition amazed me, when 1 considered that in
Louisville, Jefferson county, on the Tuesday pre
vious, he quite readily allowed me equal time in
debate. Os course I refutod his very unfair pro
position, aud offered in lieu, for him to open in
one and a half hours, I follow in two, and ho elo*e
in half an hour—which he in turn declined. And
the fairest proposition he would or did make was
—two hours for himstlf in epenirg, tuo hours for
me to reply , and he close in has the time , oi' one
hour. Os course I refused to debate on those
terms, and so stated to the crowd when called lor
after Mr. Stephens’ speech.
As to the duty of the Committee of Arrange
ments, 1 have nothing to say. I received an invi
tation from two of their number, ard but for their
invitations 1 should, certainly , not have gone out
of my county to meet Mr. Stephens—whose unfair
ness in discussion (as to time) is proverbial. Indeed,
where he has tbe power, (as I presume he had at
Davis’ Spring) I know his disposition to oru;h
debate, except on the most unfair terms. What
would have been the result, if Judge Andrews,
Dr. Miller, or Col. Wrght bed been present,
(whom I understand were also invited,) I cannot
soy ; but my humble opinion is, if this is the man
ner in which Mr. Stephens and his friends con
duct their meetings for discussion, where they think
they have a majority, cur American party friends
had better stay away from them. And if this is
their free and fair terms of discussion, I wish
never to be made acquainted'with what they might
call foul and unfair terms.

tary. H. Hill, Esq., candidate for Congress for
the 4th District, was introduced and came forward
and very ably and eloquently addressed the peo
ple for two hours and a half, in defence of Ameri
cxn principles, during which time he was often
enthusiastically applauded. After his address the
appended Resolutions wore offered by S. H. H.
Reach, and were carried almost unanimously, only
lour voting in the negative, out of a gathering of
some SOo or more. Oue of the gentlemen vc lir*
in the negative, profesMng that the resolutions
were not generally understood, the negative party
were given another sbowiog, wheu much to u:o

Whereas, The principles of the old Whig and
Democratic parlies have ceased to agitate ti«o
minds of the Ameri an people, so as to efface ail
dividing lines by which they wore politically
kuown, and a• o orguniZHtion called the Ameri
can party has taken u firm stand uptf\ tho Consti
tution cf the United States, the Union of the
States, and the right* of the South; and whereas,
this new party has purged itseii ol every ekin.ut
of abolition aud disunion :
Ktsolved, That we hail with j>y and gratitude
the advent of tbe America i p*rty, and lor its
prompt and decisive action on the sectional
qneniion of slavery, it is entitled to the thanks ol
all Union loving and 1 .iw-abidtr g citizens.
Resolved, That the American party in its profess
ed opposition to the Union ot Cuurch aud State,
und resistance to the temporal of the Pope,
has exhibited the most geuniue dements of Re
publicanism, and that it* pledges to restrain tr.o
abuse of American suffrage by a more extended
probation of foreigners, wo regard as founded in a
deep, intenso,aud abiding love for the liberties of
this country, tho perpetuity of the Union aud the
parity of tho ballot box.
Rtsolved, That we look upon the dominant
party now in Georgia, in its opposition to Ameri
canism, as a fusion held together by the “cohesive
power of public plunder” and that the bargain of
Gov. Johnson with Murk A. Cooper is an evidence
of intrigue and political corruption and that the
appointment oi R. J. Cowart to office without
legal authority, through whose iucompetcncy the
State treasury has suffered an immense 10-s.
Resolved, That we as citizens aud tax payers wil'
support no man who will protend to j istify the
wholesale swindle of Johnson, Ccoper, Cowart &

Mu. Editor:— l huvo beforo me the Constitu-
of tho 18th it.Bt., in which appears a com
munication over the s'gnaturo of “JoHNeoN,’*
which contains as much ft lsehood as could have
beem condensed into th&same numbe' L,
is true, that tho Bailiff, as he is
draw, but again joined the order after listenirgto
thespsech of Judge Andrews, delivered here on
the 18th. As to his denouncing tho party as being
corrupt, &Q., I refer you to h : s communication
which he intends publishing. “Johnson’s”charge
upon mo as President is without tho least founda
tion, for I have neither withdrawn or signified any
intention of so doing; and the statement given of
my withdrawirg with a band of thirty is merely an
inveLtion of the writer’s, as well os the demolish
iug of tlio society by tho speech ot Judge Andrews.
Sam and family still survive unharmed by the
would-be daDgerous missiles, hurled so unsparing
ly at them by their enemies, and new accessions
to their ranks are daily occurrences. 1 havo hoard
of hut one conversion to Johnson thus far in this
county. In closing. 1 would adviao “Johnson”
not to draw so largely upon his imagination if he
should hereafter feel hitnseft called upon to make
any statement relating to tho tho members
thereof, or tho
President.
Tiie Cotton Crcp.—A commercial house iu Now
Orleans has placed at our disposal the following
extract of a letter from one of tho mo3t reliable o
its correspondents:
Natchez, Aug, 11, 1855.
I wrote you a few days ago relative to a turn
our cotton epects hud tukon, which 1 have now
more emphatically to confirm, by stating the hill
crops more especially have and aro snffiring much
from the combined t fleets ot both rust aud rot.
I havo seen lately stulks of cotton, with from
fifty to one hundred bolls upon them, two-thirds
of which havo rotted, and that within a period ol
two weeks.
I have not only hoard but seen ranch of the
rust. It kills the plant, but opens most of the full
grown bolls; but there is no vitality in tho plant
(and no further putting lorih of second growth,;
even sufficiently to mature hall grown bolls.
Tho i-pots ol ground which aro ca'lod “rusted
cotton” h sve tho appoarance of trees iu autumn,
wiih ali their leaves browned, withered ai d full
ing off.
1 consider the prospect as being decidedly 15 to
20 par cent, worse than it waa two wocksago.
A Big E\r. —Tho Bastrop (Morehouse parish)
Advccite has received au oar of com grown o i
the farm of Mr. Henry Curtis, who resides about
eleven miles northwest of Bastrop, which mea
suies one foot in length, and contains 1,025 grains.
The Russian Legation at Washington place no
ceufideuce whatever in tho story of tho death of
Todlebon, tho Emperor’s Engmcor-in Cnief, at
Sevastopol.
The Cherokee Presbyter (O. S.) have cdoj tod
resolutions recommending lo the churches in its
connexion to insure tho lives of tho r ministers,
as tho most convenient method of making provision
fur their families after their decease.
We leuru from Amstedam that tho steamer
Constitution, built for tho Belgian Company for
transatlantic navigation from Antwerp to Now
York, was launched on the 27th ult. Tho first
steamer of tho line, the Belgique, is flashed sue*,
will soon bo sent to sea. The Leopold L and Due
de Brabant are in process of construction.
There aro at tho present time forty three licons
ed pawnbrokers transacting business iu Now
York, aud it would appear that there are but two
out of the number who do not seek to extend their
business oy dishonest practices.
Rice and p ea Island Cotton Crops —Tho pros
pect of the Rice crop at this time i» very promising
Factors and planters inform us that it could hardly
bo better, and that without some casualty, the
yield will be large and abundant. Near tho lino
of salt water, the stalk, as elsewhere, is well grown
aud luxuriant, but the heads are faulty and defec
tive. This is attributed to the ovor owing of the
land by salt water during tho gale of Sep ember.
With this exception, the crop is overythieg that
tbe planter can desire.
An interesting fact is mentioned in this connec
tion. It whi very dry last winter, aud rain ouough
did not fall to “freshen” the lands that had been
overflowed. In consequence of this, the rico came
up so slowly in the spring, that it was found noc
cassary to flood the lauds and relievo them of the
“suits.” This “freshening” process was resorted
to at a subsequent period, and with gratifying
success on both occasions. The conclusion arrived
from those experiments is, that if the wa’er had
been let on the lands in winter, they might huve
been entirely relioved of the salt deposit left by
the September storm, and thus prepared for the
following crop.
Planters will commence harvesting in about two
weefce. We have e-ien one who expects to begin
sometime next week, on Savannah river.
The prospect of the Sea Island Cotton crop is
also fl ittering though hardily so good as that of
the rice crcp. Iu some localities the cotton lias
suffered aud isstill suffering from drought. There
has been but little rain i this portion of the State,
aud along the sea board to the South, for some
we aka. Cotton sutlers less howe/er, from drought
than wet weather, and with good seasons from
this time forward, there is reason to hope for a
fair yield. —Savannah Republican.
“Watt Ward NoroiirfcTY.” —The Naw York
Tribune speaks of L raisville as the city of “Matt
Ward notoriety.” The record of crimes commit
ted one day lately in New York, tilled nearly a
column of the National Intelligencer. Even the
horrid murdor ot Butler by Matt. Ward, would be
cast into tbe shade by the blacker orimos which
often occur in New York ; tho murder of wives by
husbands, and husbands by wi »es, aud children by
parents. It is but yesterday that this philanthro
pist, iu whose craw Matt Ward’s murder has stuck
so long, was laboring to save from the gallow- a fe
male fiend, whoso Hands wore s ained with the
blood ot two persons who had never given her
the slightest provocation ! —Richmond Dispatch.
Attempt to Kill a Family — A co-respondent
of tho Lynchburg Virginian informs that paper
a negro woman, the property of Mr. D. M. Han
cock, of Campbell county, attempted u few days
ego to bill his whole family by putting clipped hair
iu s’ewd tomatoes. The family partook cf t»>e to
ri a*oes, but no bad effects aro yet visible. Strange
to say the offender, instead of being given over to
the law, was taken off and sold.
Earning his Salary —R J. Cowart, K q., the
pet offic.al of Gov. Johnson, and to whom the
Governor gives six or seven dollars per day of the
people’s money, for services he does n"t render
ihe* State, is now busy stamping the citato and
making speeches in heh&lf of hi* patron I
Citizen .
A Palpable Hit.—The Albany Atlas esys:—
“We see that the Boston folks talk of raiding a
fund|of $60,000 to send emigrants of that State West
to Cnristiauiz3 Kamas.”
“We can well see that the expenditure of half
that money might utterly bankrupt Massachusetts
in Christianity without elevating Kansas to the
stanard of respectable Paganism. In the matter of
Christianity we do not believe that Massachusetts
has vet arrived at the condition of an exporting
State.”
Hon. Henry W. Hilliard —Onr distinguished
cit’Z3D,tbe Hod. H. W, Hilliard, has declined the
Presidency of Emory College, (Georgia) to which
he was elected sometime since. Oar loss would
have been their gam, for no one is better fitted for
so responsible a station ; and had he accepted the
distinguished honor tendered him, great acquisi
tions would have been added to that j tstly cele
brated institution of literature, trom d fforent por
tions of the Southern S’ate«, as he is feuo*n to be
a man of sound judgment, finished scholarship
and chaste minners.— Mont Jour .
The Mexican method of care for the yellow fever
consists in having the body continually and gently
rubbed by at least two assistant-*, so that an equa
ble heat by friction ia maintained, while at the
s.me time sweet oil and lemon juice are adminis
tered internally in equal proportions, and as rapidly
as the patient can swallow the Lime-juice
is said to be more efficacious than that ot lemons
when it can be procnred.
In Guayaquil it is also usual to apply the lime
juice externally, the patient baiDg even literally
bathed in it, wnen a sufficient quantity of the trait
can be obtained.

A SEVER FAILING REMEDY FOR COLIC IN
INFANTS.
DR. ROBKRTR’ COLIC MIXTURE FOR INFANTS,
cures that intense pain of the bowels which occur
almost daily during the first few month* of :ije, unde
circumstances where there is no re son to suspect, as its
cause, any disturbance of the digestive organs, from the
bad quality or undue quantity of the fowl. The parox
ysms of pain are olten so vioh nt as to disturb the home*
hold, and alarm the mother; audio her anxiety to re
lieve her child, the most injurious anodynes are resorted
to, such as Laudanum, Paregoric,Godfrey’s Cordial, 4c.
These produce costiveness, and other evils, which rencer
the remedy worse than the disease.
Immediate relief in all canes, whether depending on
flatulency or spasm o' the boweis, will be obtained from
the use of the Colic Mixtures.
Tbo peculiar advantages of Roberts’ Colic Mixture con
sists in its giving in tant relief to p«in—procuring healthy
«nd refrusbiug slumber—wHle it acts gently on U*e
bowels —and is always aale. Try it.
