I jjaich more koperaiiveiy it is now the duty of us all
I go t/> vote as to denounce jiuebanan a “perjury and

I taking their Convention m* an index of their eenti

i ide vhdiuieuof 11,© act, and deserved, if not
I ~h* j- inuvaC at least toe emphatic disapprobation of

I treesoii \d rninUtratim , the Southern Democracy
! H chided for its hasty, harsh, ungracious de
j maodn, aim the attempt i boldly made to commit
j Up party, North and South, to executive ialerven
f ioi , to the violation of the law of the land, to free
.-oi; and fr*7c Kansas —not for any principle, but
men ly to keep together a rotten organization,
r ailed the ihtnocrcUtc Parly. It is attempted, un
der the fax bof the spoils leaders, under the threats
of Executive power, under the bribes of this Ad
ministration, to prepare uh for degredation and dis
liuijcr. , Many even say “tiieking can do no wrong,”
und that they will euppoit Ducbanan, whether be
| *< Ai Walker or not. I appeal from the leaders to
! the Iran. Democratic }ttopl* % and ak, will tliey sub
j mil 7
j Mss not Walker violated the principle of non
’ntervention, tie principle for which the uni
: .id S *utli his al ways fought, and which, we were
J iuM, was seeur. and, oi to be secured, by iiuebauan s
eiorrtfoir ‘ lias nut James Buchanan —if not by liia
Ia positive in sir uc tioue—by bis Approval of Walk
-i'A ;iots, and by continuing- hiun in office, become
j.Hity to that base baud upon tiie South, this vio
!afiji ol principle, of pledges, and ol the law ? Did
the Georgia Legislature declare all opposition
H# the principle ot nQu intervention to he kotidily
to the .South, mid all who partook of such opposi
tion unfit to b- members of any party not koUile
to tin- South ‘ llh not the American party of
(teorgut always oonMiateatly maintained the same
great principle nnd the sanrie proud position ! W hat
bet! • r pbithrrm tIK-n do we want, than this, coupled
vfith ti; Itli i .Molution <f the Georgia Convention
. ( >u, upon which the American party always
. t.fMMI, uj on which all true men can unite, and de
uouiu • James Buchanan and libs adhereuts, North
ml South, a.*’ hostile to us, and nniittobc members
| of any parly S'.uth ? People of Georgia, what must
i. the inevitable conaequene-e. if we do not rebuke
| him houmnee such Dagrant imiiage—such anda
| u treachery ‘ Why, surely, tho North will take
j on- .:ge, and with fpiadrup’cd x*tl, will move ewifi,
ii o tiie n conipliihim ntofits fell purpoacs. Our
I*. urc todo onr whole duty manfully now y will but
invite the North to heap every imposition and din
m ci iipei: u.-, with the assurance that we will mb
. / to ott y/htnir, provided it in l done in the name of
i>, morritey. Are our people ready,/be the mike of
■ ny part t/, Ui BUbmit, and by submissudh, to invite
til further u;'gresKKm ?
Strij-pedoi all disguises, iciievedof all the fog
and darkimuH which designing politicians have
thrown around it, the naked truth is, that non-inter
vTuition is the only principle ol the Kansas bill
which ever r< ally received the approbation of the
Georgia Legislature, of the American party, or of
luuy party in Georgia. Thnao who say otherwise,
stht•* t ha! which is unqualifiedly false, and whether
1 mi id wi. tally or ignorundy, they are unlit to be be
iieyed or trusted. The construction given to the
hill by and. N'ti tl.eri; friends, which implied Squatter
Sovereignty, waa always universally repudiated by
lho South. Alien Suffi.-ige, as a principle, wiui al
ways cppi>sed by the American party, aud by nine
teulb# of the Southern Democrats in the Sett ofe. It
was also opposed by our friends, the pro-slavery
party in Kansas, lor that party, securing power iu
spite I>l aliens, not by their aid, as all well know,
immediately disfranchised them, which disfranchise
UiHii! was ami in I'fiposnt by the Stack Republican
l'< n Hka rebels, lluehanan , Walker 4* Cos. So no
one, who has any self-respect, can longer say that,
Um Atnericans, who refused fhcJCansas bill in its
entirely as <i test, are estopped from denouncing
Walker lor I.is conduct; because it js proved be
you l cavil, that the American parly only denounced
those principles, which no honest Southerner ever
a pm-. >rd , and hss always Pleadily lqaiutained,
without a shadow of turning, the only principle in
Ui bill that any sound Southerner ever approved.
Now, an :• .ul deaouucu opposition to uou inter
vwition, iw hoßtiiity tothe South, ore we uot all in
duly bound *•> den.mno.: this administration, which
waai i. otu by tbo South, on the eoie ground of pro
lo.'Std fidelity to that principle, and which, upon the
showing of MW-tenth* of its own picked friendu
and tup porters in Georgia, has violated that princi
ple, and shown a total want of fidelity—in other
word*, has been proved guilty of treachery !
Then, if ee are al! united upon the point that we
ought to rebuke and denounce lhioiiauan’s Admin
Ist talkhi the next question is : How can we do it ?
It is answeroo, voje for Hrown, and the Democratic
candidates lor Ongr.-sa, and tho Legislature. Hut
t hat will not show our opposition to th;is.e who have
proved hostile to tile Sontli.
h irst, because Hrown is one of those who deluded
Its I,s’ year, against light and knowledge, and
ftgainsl one of the purest and best men of the Ke
public, his opponents .’.mug judges, into the support
nf.fain s Hurtiman, who xva, to *uve the Union,
: uvo the Sodtb, and save Kansas. Therefore, hp is
i.lur-lf a part;, to ibe fraud and treachery which
’ naa be.-.it practiced upon u*, and, if be wtus know
luglv a party, he in i>imself criminal, if lie acted in
the dark he is but a blind leader of the blind, and
jjpl fit to be trusted in these trying umas, when the
£ontii teouires ali the wisdom, all the integrity, all
tin fiimm-se, !l li' 4 * honor, of all her children This
i -aid 100, without any disrespect to .bulge Hrown,
be mife 1 haritable minds prefer to believe that lie,
liki m„ny others, acted from ignorance, and an
, ,11-, partisan credulity, “ hoping all things, and be
lieving ail things, ’ and noi with criminal intent. —
In ‘lie second place, voting for Judge Brown will
not : l .w our opposition to Ihe Administration, be
i an e, w hile ho professes to stand by the Third Res
oluiioii of the Cuirvontion which nominated him,
which resolution declares that the President can
how hi* fidelity to tin- principle* oil which he was
eleeied only bv recalling Walker. Hrown still tell*

Kaoan*— Democratic Couitency.
A few days since we heard Judge Brown in a
public diifcuision, and we thought him old in his ar
guments as he depict*d the iniquities of Know No
thin giem. and as he spoke so feelingly of the fo
reigners . but we ye now Uxhy satisfied toe Judge
understands the policy of Lie party—namely to
draw off our attention from Gov. Walker and the
Administration, by his clamor about the oath-bound
associations, &c. Let as not be turned aside from
our purpose by these setweksw harrangaes, but on
the contrary, from now until October, let us a.-k
them as we have heard Mr. Hill. “You promised
as Buck, Breck and Kamos; you have your Buck I
and Breck, but where is your Kansas V’
For two or three years they have talked, written <
and spoken only of Kansas; they told us it “ was *
ti e paramount question of the day*'—{well, it is i
yetj Go read their papers—Everything was about *
that Territory; and the Nebraska bill was called—
“A great Southern measure. '*
M A Southern Triumph. M
“We could now go with our glares to that Terri,
tory ”
“He who is opposed to the bill, ia opposed to the
South.”
This is the way the bill was spoken of as if intro
duced for our benefit alone. - ’ We were told that it
was vastly important that the Soatb should have
Kansas. A distinguished Georgia Democrat said
the preservation of the Union depended on it. The
lion. D. U. Atcliinson said—“ If Kansas is aboli
tioaized, Missouri ceases to be a slave State; in a
word, the prosperity, or the ruin of the whole South
depends on the Kansas struggle.’*
Tts true, the Georgia Democracy eaid in regard
to Kansas, they were wdling for the people of a
Territory to choose whether they should have slave
ry or uot, and they talked of non-intervention. But
what newspaper in Georgia, or what orator sad
Kansas would apply with an anti-slavery Constitu
tion ! None.
We told the people that at the North the Kansas
bill was advocated by some as a “ measure for free
dom”—Out this was called a Know Nothing story,
intended to injure Democracy at the Kolitb. In
Georgia no one (except yourself, Mr. Editor) pub
licly intimated that Kansas would be a free State.—
No; but as the Athens Banner said: “ The practi
cal issue before the country is, shall any min e slave
Slates be admitted ? The Black Republicans aay
there shall not, the Democratic party are on the
other side.”
Hon. J. P. Simmons wits the candidate for Elec
tor iu the fith Congressional District about this time.
Did he intimate that Kansas might be lost lo the
Sooth ? He said, “We can secure a majority in
the first Legislature as easily, and as certainly as iu
any subsequent one. As to Kansas, we had a de
cided advantage of the North in this respect —our
friends in Missouri had nothing to do but to cross
the river with their slaves, select the most eligible
spots, and secure the political destinies of the country
for the South This they did like true Southern
men.”
Hon. Howell Cobb was a representative in Con
gress about this tim*—did lie think Kansas would
be abolitionized ? He said : “ From present indi
cations it may be regarded ns a fixed fret, that
Kansas will at no distant day apply for admission
with a pro slavery constitution.”
Did Governor Johnson tell us it would be q free
State? No; he said: “The indications are that
Kansas will probably apply during the ensuing
Congress for admission iuto the Union as a slav-
holding S ate.'’
lion A. H. Stephens wrote a good many letters
during the cuiupaign—did lie tell us that the consti
tution of that Territory would be anti-Southern !
In the first letter, we think, that be wrote, he said,
“ Now then when Kansas applies for admission as
a Slave St tU , as she, doubtless trill:’ Did he
change his opinion, and speak differently ? No ;
he at a later period said, “ 1 cannot suppose Judge
Nishet would say, that ii would he unjust to the
South for Kansas to come into the In ion as a Slave
Stat e, but Una is just what hr must, know is about
lo take /dare under the operation of the Kansas bill.”
Is it necessary lor us to bring forward the opin
ions of any of these leaders? We suppose not.
Mr. Buchanan lias been elected by the South, “ To
M.\v k ihe South.” We have stood up to the Kan
sas* Bill, as a “ Southeru Remedy; we have shout
ed tor Douglas; all we ask, in return, of them is,
fjive us Kansas. We do hope these Democratic
eaders will no! waste their time and talents in
abumng*Know Nothingisin; that they will not en
deavor to keep off “the paramount, issue /’ but we
want them, for Heaven’s sake, to give us Kansas—
to practice, what they have promised.
To your readers we recommend the following ex
tract from a Virginia paper. Ashland.
The Democracy and Kansas— We subjoin the
following article from the Petersburg Intelligencer,
as—if Kansas be lost to the South —it, fixes conclu
sively the responsibility upon the shoulders of the
Democratic party. This, iudeed, is an important,
and mighty fact, and we beg the people of the
South of all parties to bear it constantly iu mind :
“ It is now ascertained that the Democratic party
will Imve a clear and controlling majority in the
next Congress. They will, therefore, be responsi
bly for the legislation of the next two years. Not
the kast important question that they will be called
on tosettle will be the admission of Kansas into the
Union, and its status as free or slave. We desire
that the people of the South should keep constantly
in mind the fact that Kansas must be a slave State,
unless the Democracy interfere at soiqe stage of its
progress towards statehood, to head it off It is
now a slave Territory, and will, from necessity and
by fore j of law, be a slave State, unless the consti
tution about to be framed shall forbid it. But that
constitution is to be framed by a Convention
to which a large majority of Democrats have been
elected. Any such provision, therefore, must
the sanction of Democrats to secure insertion. Sup
pose, though the constitution shall permit slavery,
but is submitted to thp popular ratification or re
jection. We have the assurance of the government
organ that the Democratic party in Kansas are now
“ largely iu a majority over all others.” If the con
stitution tolerating slavery is rejected, this Demo
cratic party will be responsible for it. But suppose
further, the constitution is not and Kansas
goes up to Congress asking admission into the
Union as a slave state. The Democratic party are
u; a majority in Congress, also, and the application
can only fail from Democratic hostility.
14 But suppose, lastly, Congreas ajiould favor the
admission, ine only remaining means of defeating
it, would be the veto- —and that power is in the
hands of a Democratic President. So that at every
critical point the fortunes of Kansas encounter
Democratic guides and Bear in mind,
Kacsas is now by her laws, and by virtue of tne
existence of the institution there, identihed with
the slave section of the Union. To be transferred
to tlie anti-slavery section, positive action will be
r quired—and that action can only come from the
Democrats who alone have any opportunity of do
ing anything in the matter. If we may use the il
lustration ; the ear of Kansas is on the pro-slavery
track. It is in the hands of Democratic engineers,
firemen, brakeinen, conductors, baggcage-masters,
tid?et-ageuts, superintendents, directors and presi
dents The section-masters, and switch-keepers,
and Btation agents are all Democrats. It is a mat
ter of utter impossibility that Kansas can get ojf the
pro-slavery and oh the freesoil track, unless it is
switched off by Democrats. The Kansas train is
loaded with tjie priceless freight of Southern equali
ty and Southern honor. The whole Democratic
party are underwriters and insurers tbr the safe
conveyance of the cargo. If those who have charge
of the train betray tbeir trust, better that they were
beneath its wheels, than compelled to face those
wltose confidence they have trifled with and whoso
interests they have sacrificed. So look out for the
lok.Qmot.ive when the bell rings !”

j Mk. Editor : —To-day the people of Taliaferro
■ county had an opportunity of seeing and hearing
1 the Hon. Thoe. W. Miller, |tbe American candidate
j for Congress from the Eighth Congressional Dif*
, triet. And though Mr. Stephens wes quite unwell,
j so unwell that the most, if not the whole of his busi
i aess in Court was postponed.he and his friends,l sup
j poee, thought that it would never do to let Mr. Miller
j have even the short recess of the Court entirely to
. himself. At all events, it was so managed as to let
j Mr. Stephen* have a portion of the time. The ar
| rangements being agreed on. it was announced that
| Mr. Millor would first address the people, to be fol
; lowed by Mr. Stepheos, and the discussion concluded
by Mr. Mil ledge. Mr. Mi Her then led off, by pre
-1 misiDg that up to about two years since be had al
f ways been of the same political faith as his present
opponent. And that though their paths at that
time diverged, it was no fault of the speaker. That
although he had never joined &vy council of the
American party, or Know Nothings, he saw nothing
at the time in their innocent “ pass-words,” or “to
kens of recognition,” to alarm the patriot, on call
forth the harsh invectives indulged in by his honor
able opponent two years ago.
Mr Miller took high and sound grounds on Mr.
Bucliauairs Walker Kansas policy. He disdained
to find fault with the servant who faithfully carried
out his master's will, and at the same time, to ex
tend the hand of friendship and adoration to the
master Every man who had not made up his mind
to stand by the Democratic party and the Presi
dent, irrespective ot acts ana consequences must
have admired the boldness of the speaker, and even
some of the others must have keenly felt the force
of his home thrusts. No doubt many of the audi
ence were astonished to hear Mr. Stephens say in re
ply, that “ he did not abuse the American party in
1853 / That he uttered no word in that, canvass
that, owekt to hare hurt the feelings of any man ! !
Y'erily, I thought he had a strange notion of what
ought to hurt an old friend’s feelings. Perhaps his
present view of that canvass is not more inconsis
tent than his position at this time with regard to
Walker. Mr‘Stephens is disposed to give Mr. Bu
chanan time ! If he finds that he endorses Walker,
he will take ground against the President. Ido not
doubt Mr. Stephens’# statement, but I confess to
an utter astonishment, to think a man of Mr. Ste
piiens reputation for legal acoumen can have a
reasonable doubt as to tie truth of the proposition,
that Mr Buchanan not only fully endorses the course
of Gov. Walker, but even further that Gov. Wal
ker is in the faithful pursuance of a well-planned
scheme of the President’s own concoction, to briug
Kansas iuto the Union as a fj-ee State, if not, “to
make a Freesoi! party out of the Democracy of
Georgia.’
The people of the Eighth District deserve a Re
present alive whose perceptions are brighter than
that. They deserve a Representative that can see
the dangers by which they are surrounded, and
who has the boldness to sound the note of alarm,
although it may put him in antagonism to the pow
ers that be. They have such a candidate in the
person of the Hon. Thomas W. Miller, and if they
are not blind to their interest, or too much fettered
by party, to assert them, he will be triumphantly
elected. Mr. Milledge concluded in a very hand
some and characteristic, though short address, the
effects of which 1 have no doubt will be felt in Oc
tober next, by a handsome vote, even in old Talia
ferrot for Hill and Miller. Putnam.

Ia announcing myself as an independent candi
date tor the legislature, I feel bound to respond to
the call, which you have made, recognizing, as I
do, the right of the constituent to interrogate all as
pirants for representative honors.
The sole question of interest with yop seems to
be, whether the lion. Robert Toombs shall be re
turned to the Senate. To make my “ calling and
election sure, ” 1 pledge myself to vote for him; but
what position upon the Kansas policy of the Presi
dent 1 will thereby be compelled to assume, I can
not, for my life, inform you. Indeed, as this is an
issue of only secondary importance, we can both
wait until the President’s message is received, find
then do as we please, as we will both have been
elected by that lime. He will, doubtless, wait, and
so must, I. When he defines his position, it may be
assumed to be mine. As this slavery question has
dwindled down to a very small matter in compari
son with the election of the honorable gentlemen,
we need not vex our spirits and hazard our success
by noticing it, or saying whether we approve or
t oudemn the President.
With the assurance of your unanimous votes and
a glorious triumph at the polls, I remain yours, con
fidingly, A. L. L. Dodging.

of Ben Hill's letters with him. This bundle was
placed upon a seat, near where Mr. Pemhle sat, and
during Mr. Huff's absence from the cars, between

the bundle out of the car window, into a mud hole
at the time the cars were running rapidly. Mi

Mu. Editor :—-The Weekly Constitutionalist, of
the. 19th inst., has a formal interrogatory to three
Democratic candidates for the Legislature in Elbert
county, and “ to all others who may become candi
dates,” to ascertain whether they will, if
vote for the re-election of Mr. Toombs. This is
signed by twenty eight, men, among whom we re
cognize the active leaders of our local l)e mocracy
The candidates are requested to answer through
the columns of the Constitutionalist. The answer
is avowedly called for as a matter of right, and for
the purpose of “ openly committing” the candidates
on this “ important question,” A decent regard to
appearances would have preceded this question
with an authorized statement of Mr. Toombs’ view's
on ti e really important questions that agitate tho
public mind. Then the answering candidates would
nave had the tembhuice of taking a stand upon
principle. As it is, if they answer affirmatively
they will be understood as attaching themselves
blindly to the fortunes of a man. Men who can
thus sacrifice their independence, have no claim to
the votes of an independent people. In old times,
when Mr. Toombs was a zealous Whig, a great deal
was said by his party about the “collar dogs” ot
Democracy. Ratliff Boon, a thorough-paced Demo,
eratirom Indiana, in a speech in Congress, said
that he was proud to be called by that appellation
This exquisite piece of personal humiliation, was
much remarked on at the* time, and perhaps was
honored by the comments of Mr. Toombs’ sharp
tongue. We want no “ collar dogs” in Georgia.
No matter what uame is engraved on the collar .
whether it be Buchanan, or Walker, or Cobb, or
the Democratic party, or Toombs, we have no use
for such a breed of animals.
No question is asked about National or State poli.
cy, Buchanan. Walker, Kansas, the tariff, internal
improvements, foreign relations,and the State Rail
road, are all forgotten, or merged iu tbe over-shad
owing matter of Toombs. Is the Democratic party
of Elbert existing for the sole benefit of one man ?
We have giver, them credit for patriotism, though
sadly misguided patriotism. We have thought that
when patriotism prevailed, the advancement of in
dividuafc has only a secondary or incidental con
sideration. But if the party be nothing but a caudal
app?ndage to ao erratic a body as Mr. Toombs, we
must give them up as hopelessly joined to their
idols.
Mr. Toomb* has, as yet, so far as we know, made
no prouuncuimenlo. Let ns know where he stands
now, and if yon have fee power of divination, let
us know where he will stand three months hence ;
and then it will be time enough to pledge men to his
support. Unti I yon do this, we hope that no Ame
rican candidates wiU answer you ; and as to the
Democratic candidates, yon must not be
if some of them have caught fee spirit (A “ Ul4 b-

The Atlantic Telegraph.
The following account, brought by the Arabia, of
♦he initiation of the laying of the Atlantic Tele
graph, is very interesting.
On Thursday, the 30th, at dayhraok, the Aga
memnon came to moorings in Queenstown Harbor,
at a distance of about a third of a mile from the
United States frigate Niagara. Before noon one
erd of each cable was carried to the opposite ship,
and so joined np as to form a continuous length of
U. 500 miles, both ends of which were on board the
Agamemnon. One end was then connected with
the apparatus for transmitting the electric current,
and on a senaitive galvanometer being attached to
the other and the whole cable was tested from end
to end, aud found to be perfect.
As these operations had worn far into the night,
the arrangements for attaching the recording instru
ments to indicate signals, were left to be completed
in the morning. The amount of electric power de
veloped at the further end, and exhibited by Mr.
Whitehouse's megneto-electrometer, amounted to
an attractive ‘force of ‘25 gra ns. As three grains
are a sufficient force to record iuteiligibie signals
upon the receiving apparatus, it will be perceived
that a considerable surplus of eleetrio power re
mains—a convincing proof, if any were needed, at
once of the perfect integrity of the cable, and no
less of the careful adaptation of scientific means to
the desired object.
On resuming the operations on Friday morn mg it
was found that ail comraunieaiicu was cut off, and
after under running file portions of cable laid out
between the two ships, it was ascertained that one
had been completely severed by entanglement with
the mooring chains during the time the Agamemnon
was swinging with the tide, aud that the other por
tion was so injured from the same cause as to be
unfit for use.
During Friday the officers of the company were
engaged in releasing the broken wires and recon
necting the conductors.
On re-establishing communication between ship
aud ship, the transmission ot electric telegraph mes
sages through the entire length of d,st)o mdcs was
immediately commenced, and proceeded satisfacto
rily during the whole of Saturday.
The battery employed by Mr. Whitehouse con
sists of a voltaic series of forty cells, the plates of
which are formed alternately of siuc and platinised
silver, each about nrne inches square. The exci
ting fluid, or medium, is simply diluted sulphuric
acid; the troughs containing which are swung upon
a gimbailed frame, to prevent the fluid from being
washed over the counterions between cell and eell
by the motion of the ship.
The force developed by this battery in its direct
action Is so great that a piece of irsm three inches
long, and three eighths of an inch iu diameter, can be
eutrrely consumed in a few minutes by the heat de
veloped on retaining the two poles of the battery si
multaneously iu contact with it.
The battery current thus generated is, however,
only the primary agent in the act of telegraphing
through the cable, aud is s-dely used as a means of
mducrng, through the aid ol electro magnetic elec
tricity, a current ot a suitable character for being
transmitted through such long distances. The
electro-magnetic electricity aciually employed is
obtained from large induction coils, which are con
structed in the following manner : Around a hollow
cylinder of soft iron, nearly (tva feet long is wound
with great regularity a length of several thousand
yards of thin copper wire, insulated with silk, wrap-
ped, by means of machinery, round every portion
of the metal, and much less in diameter than the
conductor constittuting the centre of the cable, to
the end of which it is joined up, aud of which it
forms a continuous part when required for use.—
Kach layer of thiH insulated wire is covered with
thin waxed paper previously to ihe application of
the succeeding layei ; and the whole when comple
ted, is surrounded with sheet gutta percha, applied
so as to fit it equally on all sides. Over the inter
vening gutta percha is then wound a shorter length
of copper wire, many times larger in diameter than
the previous length of thin wire but insulated in the
same manner.
The extremity of this latter wire is brought into
connection with the battery by means of a key
used by the operator for the trauamission of signals,
in such a manner that not only can the circuit be
made and broken at pleasure, but that in signalizing
a distant station, by the simple process of raising and
depressing the bqndle of this key, the operator never
sends two currents successively from the same pole
of the battery, but, transmits alternately negative
and positive electricity.
The following phenomena are developed in the ap
paratus thus described, when set in motion. The cur
rents generated in the voltaic series pass simply
through the thick wire between pole and pole of the
battery ; aud in their passage temporarily convert
the hollow cj finder or iron into a powerful electro
magnet, the position of the poles of which may be re
versed with such alteration in the direction of the
current through the thick wire.
The electro-magnet thus formed re-acts upon the
great length of this wire wound around the cylin
aer, inducing in it a current of electro magnetic
electricity possessed of an energy adequate to the
length of cable it is reqdired to pass through.
It will he seen that the nature of this secondary
current may he varied at will, by the employment
of batteries differing in character (as maybe found
most suited to the occasion.) attached to the thicker
or primary wire of the coil, and that, further, as the
current which passes into the cable is originally
generated iu a wire of only one-seventh the area of
the main conductor, no ill effect cau occur to the
conductor, which might result if the battery itself
were in dived connection with it.
Provision having been made in this manner for
the through transmission of the electric current, the
adaptation of an instrument suitable to the indica
tion or recording of signals, is simply a matter of
mechanical ingenuity, aud any of the sensitive in
dicating or recording instruments now in use, may
be employed for the purpose.
The form of instrument at present used for devel
oping signals by the Atlantic Telegraph Company,
is a modification of the well known marking instru
ment invented by Professor” Morse.
The British and Irish Magnetic Telegraph Com
pany are progressing very rapidly with the erection
of an over-ground line of telegraph along tho high
way between Killarney and Valencia, for the pur
pose of connecting the existing telegraphic system
with the Atlantic cable, at the latter place, by
means of which, under an arrangement entered in
to between the magnetic and electric companies,
the whole of the lines in the three kingdoms—ten
thousand miles in extent—will be avr ilable for the
rapid transmission of intelligence between Europe
and the American Continent.
The line is already completed beyond Killorgin,
where the Magnetic Company have established a
temporary station. The entire through communi
cation to Valencia is expected to be completed by
the middle of next week, when intelligence as to
the progress made in the paying out of the cable
will be daily received and sent forward by Mr.
Seward, the Secretary of the Company, who will
remain there with the staff of the manipulators until
the completion of fee undertaking.
Laying the Cable—At an early hour, on
Wednesday morning, several parties proceeded to
visit the American steam frigate Niagara, which
lay at anchor in She harbor during the night, and
were most courteously received and shown round
the several parts of this magnificent Vessel by its
officers. About twelve o’clock His Exc. .lency, ac
companied by the Knight of Kerry, and the mem
bers of fee Knight’s family, arrived oil board, and
xvere received by Captain Hudson, and had an od
portunity during their stay of witnessing the opera
tion of the machinery arranged op fee deck for pay
ing out the cable.
Shortly after one o clock a boat well manned from
the American vessel, was let down, and one of the
paddle box boats of the Leopard, with a crew, xxas
placed immediately under the stern of the Niagara,
when the operation of paying out the shore end of
the cable commenced. His Excellency had just
before disembarked, in order to be at the place of
landing in time to receive the cable on its being
broughtto shore. The proper compliment having
been coiled in the boat, a second paddle box boat
belonging to fee same vessel took her place, which
in turn was succeeded by a boat from the Susque
hanna After the Susquehanna there came up a
large steam tug, the Willing Mind, on the deck of
winch about as much of the cable was coiled as was
placed in the other three boats I may add that the
register index ofthe machinery indicated to the yaid
the quantity coiied in each boat, and as the boats
were successively laden they :.wc-re connected xvith
strong toxv ropes, and the Admiralty steam vessel,
the Advice,steamed up to tow them in.
The Advice let. on steam and slowly towed on the
boats, which xvere arranged in the following order:
The American boats, maimed with rowers, the two
boats of the Leopard, the Susquehanna's boat, and
the Willing Mind, laden with the cable. Immedi
ately on the Advice getting into motion the Willing
Mind began to pay out the cable, and the convoy
thus proceeded until the portion of the cable coiled
on her deck, about a mile in length, waß laid in the
bay At this moment the scer.c was most anima
ted and interesting. A large number of boats and
private yachts covered the hay, the waters of which
‘ . * *L .... n lo'irror tkri uraotllftr Im vinr. ...
were as smooth as a mirror, the weather having per
fectly cleared up about 4 o’clock. Several of the
boats belonging to tbe skips engaged in the proceed
ing with officers on board, ranged at regulated in
tervals, rowed on each side, directing the operations
and watching the paying out. The Willing Mind
having paid off her portion of the cable now came
round to the front, the water b ooming shallower,
and took the place of the Advice, which had, all
through, headed the expedition. Lieut. Thompson,
who bad been the party to plant the tent on the
shore at the point where the connection with the
land wires was to be made, nor took the gentlemen
from on board the Advice, and conveyed them in
one of the boats of the Leopard o tbe lauding where
were assembled at fee moment iiis Excellency the
Lord Lieutenant, Lord Russborough, Mr. F. How -
ard the Kuight of Kerry, Lord Duaraven, Mr. Cy
rus Field and a large company.
The beach was crowded with numbers of people
from Cahireiveen and the adjoinmg neighborhood.
In succession several ot fee ships boat* arrived, and
about 7 o’clock fee Willing Mmd dropped off, the
water having become too shallow . and one of the
American oared boats took her place immediately,
m front of which wa* a gig belonging to the Niaga
ra, containing the following officers of that vessel:
f'„mon.lcrPtinnnck. Lie lit. W .U. Whi tinp. Lfont
Commander PeDDOCk, Lifoo*. W.D. Whiting, Lieut.
Guest, Lieut. Wels, Mr. Eldndge, purser, and Mr
Charles Bright, engineer-urcfaiet to the Atlantic
Telegraph Company In a few minutes the fore
most boat touched ground, and the American sailors
headed by their otfieers, and aided by the men of the
Susquehanna and Leopard,sprang some on shore and
others in the water, aud seizing the end of the ca
ble, rushed up with it upon the beach. Here they,
were met by the Lord Lieutenaut, to whom the ca
ble was handed by Commander Pennock and Lieut.
Whiting- His Excellency seized the rope and
pulled lustily at it for some minutes, not stopping
until it had oeen carried a considerable distance up
tbe shore. Several erf the gentlemen present—in
deed, nearly all of them also as iated in pulling it
up, being eager to take a part in so great a work.
Ine rope was then deposited in a channel which
had been dug for that purpose, and it* extremity
brought into the tent, where the batteries were
fixed. His Excellency congratulated Commander
Pennock on tbe success which had attended the
commencement of the great work, to which the gal
lant officer replied : ‘‘ I that in the course of
twenty days we will be able to announce the con
summation of the marriage. A Protestant ciergv
man, one of His Excellency a chaplains, whose
name 1 could not ascertain, then read the following
prayer -
A Prater—By those engaged in laying down tbe
cable across the Atlantic.
“O, Eternal Lord God. who alone spreadeet out
the heavens and rules the raging of the sea—who
u&Bt compassed the waters with bounds till day and

upon us Thy servants, who now approach the throne
ot grace, and let our player ascend before Thee with

commit our works to Thee iProv. ifi. 5. fi—xvi.-3.)
and Thou haet graciouiy promised to direct our

we humbly commit this work, and ail who are en
gaged in it, to tby care and guidance Let it please
thee to grant to us, thy servants, wisdom ana pow

us from succeeding in this important undertaking.
Control the winds and sea by Thy almighty power.
nd grant us such favorable weather that we may
be enabled to lay the cable safely and effectually.
And may Thy hand of power and mercy be so ac
knowledged by all that tbe language of every heart
may be, “Not unto us, O, Lord, not unto us, but

teach us to feel aa well as to say, ‘ If the Lord wiH
we shall do this or that. Hear us O, Lord and an
swer us in those our petitions according to Thy pre
mise . for Jesus Christ s sake 1 —Amen.
His Excellency here said—My American, Eng
fish and Irish mends, I feel at a moment like iliis,
that no language can be becoming except that of
prayer and praise However, it is allowable to any
human lips, though they hav e uot been especially
qualified for the office, to raise the ascription of
telory to God in the highest, on earth peace and
good will to men.” (Cheers.) That, I believe, is
the spirit in which this great work has been under
Ukhll. Ann it ia thin ruß*uiH/\n
7 Ul \“ lulp KreHl worx has been under
taken, and it is this reflection that encourages me
to feel confident hopes of its final success (Hear
hear and loud cheers. I I believe that the great uu-’
dert&kmg so happily begun will accomplish many
great auu noble purposes of trade, of national poli
cy, and of empire. (Hear.) But there is only one
view in which I will present it to those whom I
have the pleasure to address. You are aware—yon
must know, some of you from your own experience
—that many of your dear friends and near relatives
have left their native land to receive hospitable
shelter in America. Well, then, 1 do not expect
that all of you understand the wondrous mechanism
by which this great undertaking is to be earned on.
But this I think you will all of you understand.
If yc-u wish to communicate some piece of intel
ligence straightway to your relatives across the
wide world ot waters—if you wished to tel! those
whom you know it would interest in their heart of
hearts of a birth, a mairiage, or, alas! a death
amongst you, the little cord which we have now
hauled up to shore will impart that tidio.-s quicker
tnan the flash of the lightning.. (Loud cheers )
Let us indeed hope—let us pray that the hopes of
those who have undertaken this great design may
be rewarded by its entire success (cheers); and let
ue hope further that this Atlantic cable will only in
all future time serve as an emblem of that strong
cord of love which I trtißf will always unite the Bri
tish islands to the great continent of America.
(Hear.) And join with me in my fervent wish that
the great Uiver of all Good, who has euabled some
of his servants to discern so much of the working of
the mighty laws by which He rules the universe,
and pervades each atom in it to accomplish His
wonderful work, will further so bless its operations
as to make it over more to serve the high purpose
of the good of man and His own groat glory.
(Cheers.) And now, all iny friends, as there can be
no project or undertaking which ought not to re
ceive the approbation and applause of the people,
will you join with me in giving three hearty cheers
tor ■ (loud cheers). Three cheers are not
enough tor me they are what we give on common
occasions—and as it is for (.lie cucoess qf the Atlan
tic telegraph cable, J must have at lpast one dozen
cheers. (Loud and protracted cheering.)
Mr. Brooking, Chairman of the Executive Com
mittee of the Atlantic Telegraph Company then pre
sented himself. He said, after the eloquent and
spirit-stirriug address of his Exe. ‘iei.ey, I will not
delay you longer than to acknowledge, on the part
of the Atlantic Telegraph Oompqny, our sense of
the kindness of his Excellency, not only for the
great compliment paid *o us by his approval and
countenance, but for the trouble auu inconvenience
he put himself to ip comiftg here tOrday to vender to
us (he great and important service of inaugurating
this event. I beg to propose that three cheers he
given for his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant.
The proposal was heartily respouued to.
Mr. Cyrus Field, the projector of the Atlantic
Telegraph Company, was then caller upon. He
said: —l have no words to express the feelings which
fill my heart to-night. It beats with love and af
fection for every man, woman and child who hears
me. (Cheers ; 1 may say, however, that if ever,
at the other side of the waters now before us any
one of you shall present yourselves at my door and
say that you took hand or part, even by au approv
ing smile, in our work here to-day, you shall have
a true Amevioan welcome. (Cheers.) I eanuot
biud myself to more, and Bhall merely say, “What
God haa joined together, let no man put asunder.’ 1
(Loud cheers.)
His Excellency returned by special traits, loaving
Killarney at a quarter to 0 o’clock, and arriving in
Dublin a few minutes after two.
Departure oe the Telegraph SquAiißox.
Killarney, Thursday, Aug. fi.—The Lord Lieu
eimut and a large party left this for Dublin at 8.50
this morning, and will reach Dublin about one
o'clock. Last night the shore end of the cable was
handed to his excellency, on the mainland, near
Valentin, and laid satisfactorily, and the ships
immediately sailed to Newfoundland, all aa well as
could be desired.
Tin Latest Despatch,.
Liverpool, Aug. B. —A letter from Vienna, dated
August 3, says The machinery for paying out
the cable works perfectly, and we oau telegraph
through the whole cable without the least difficulty.
We expect to arrive at Newfoundland vn about
twenty days after having this place.
The French State Trials—Paris, Aug. C.—
The trial ofTibaldi, Grilli, alias Faro, and Bartolotti,
commenced to day. Four others, namely Mazzini,
Ladru Rollin, Masserenti, and Campanella, being
out of French territory, are proceeded against by
default and no case of continued absence will be
judged by the court without tkejury. Tibaldi was
first examiued. He denied all complicity, butowned
to his acquaintanceship with Grilli and Bartolotti.
He denied ever having had any relations with
Mazzini. Grilli was next examined. He declared
that Masserenti took him to Bee Mazzini at London ;
that Masserenti, asked him whether he was willing
to assassinate IheEmperor. He replied he would
think the matter over. He finally agreed, Mazzini
putthe same question, gave him instructions to watch
the Emperor a movements. He was given fifty Napo
leons by Masserenti, who received the money from
Mazzini.
He further declared that at Paris he communica
ted his object to Tibaldi, who gave him two daggers.
G’ iUi also avowed that lie met Bartolotti at Mazzi
ni's. He denied the intention of assassinating the
Emperor. He accepted the money and made the
promise to do so, because he was starving. Barto
lotti was next examined. He declared that Masse
renti asked him to see Mazzini. He paid his jour
ney from York. At Mazzini's he met a tail stout
Frenchman, whose name ho could not pronounce.
Mazzini told him that the Emperor went out every
evening in a low carriage. He met Grilli the next
day at Mazzini’s. It was agreed they should goto
Paris together. He guve them Tibaldi’s address in
Paris with a mol d’ordre. He asked Masserenti for
money. He said that he had none, but that Rodron
Kolliue, as the witness called him, would procure
some. Two days afterwards he received fifty Na-
Soleons in gold. Grilli also received some money.
ean Baptiste Gerieux, a tailor, sentenced to four
years’ imprisonment for belonging to a secret so
ciety, declared, as a witness, that at the end of 1853,
at Loudon, lie, at the request of Ledru Rollin, con
veyed SUOf. to a certain Beaumont. The President
then read the declarations of a certain Keltch, who
came to Paris with the avowed intention of assas
sinating the Emperor, and a report from the Prefect
of Police to the effect that Keltch and Beaumont
were one and the same person. The court adjourn
ed till next day (Friday,) The trial of the conspira
tois is concluded ; verdict not yet known.
It is said there are symptoms, of an approaching
understanding between Naples and France, since
the discovery of the plot to assassinate the Emperor.
The London correspondent of the Presse says
that Ledru Rollin has brought an action against the
Times for an article alluding to him in connection
with the case of conspiracy which is to come before
the assize court of the Seine.
The Overi.anij Route to California. —John
R. Bartlett, Esq., who was the commissioners ap
poin ed to run the boundary between Mexico and
the United States under President Fillmore’s ad
ministration, in the years 1850-1853, has written an
elaborate paper, which appears in the Providence
Journal, in which he takes decided ground in favor
of the Southern line, near the ifcjd parallel of latitude
which has been selected by the Postmaster-General
for the overland mail route to California. Mr. Bart
lett gives this route the preference on account ot
the many advantages which he says his observation
assures him that it possesses. He traveled with
seven loaded wagons, many packed mules, 25 oxen
and 150 sheep, over a considerate portion of the
line, aDd may therefore lay claim with good reason
to know its characteristics. He thinks the South
ern line has a narrower belt of woodless and water
less region to traverse than any other; wuile the
summit level of the sea, at El Paso, is only 3,800 or
4,000 feet above the level of the sea, while the sum
mit level of the central er A buquerque route, near
the 35t b parallel, is reported to have an elevation of
about 7,000 feet. Between the Rio Grande and
Colorado water was always fonnd, —if not v sible
on the surface, it oould be obtained by digging for
it, —and the whole extent was passed by the entire
train without crippling a wagon.
The region Mr Bartlett pronounces admirably
adopted lor a wagon road or railway. Beyond tha
Colorado is the California desert, having a breadth
of about 10!) miles, which must be crossed. This is
very hard and level, with occasional spots of sand.
It is entirely destitute of wood and nearly so of
grass. Water in the dry seasons can only be had
by digging. but it oould probably be obtained in
any desirable quantities by opening large wells,
and by providing reservoirs to catch the overflow
ings of the Colorado. Carisa creek furnishes water
in the dryest seasons. From this point jto San Di
ego, water is found at convenient distances, and
also an abundance of grass. Emigrant parties from
Eastern Texas in large number have passed over
this route, making, however, an unnecessary detour
in one place which lengthens their journey 100
miles. Mr. Bartlet, on his return, met numerous
parties upon the road, and in one instance a flock of
17,000 sheep, all bound for San Francisco He
appeals to his published reports and despatches to
suport his present statements, and asserts that
although the region through which this road passes
is no Paradise, and is poor in many repeeta, yet it
is infinitely better and presents more advantages
for a great national highway than any yet discovered
toCanfomia. — Balt. Aner.
A Centenarian. — Interesting Incidents. —On
the 11th instant, Capt. Anthony Christy, keeper of
the light-house at the month of the Christiana river,
Delaware, celebrated his one hundredth birth-day
by apu blic dinner, which was attended by all bis
children, grand children, and great grand-children,
to the number of forty, with their husbands and
wives. About one hundred and fifty persons sat
down to the table. The Delaware Gazette says :
Tbe venerable old captain, erect as in youth, with
a weather-beaten and bronzed, but not wrinkled
face, eat at tbe bead of the table, and enjoyed the
scene as much as any of tbe company. His facul
ties are unimpaired, and his senses acute, except
some deficiency of hearing. His wife, now over
70, looks so well as to give promiseof attaing tothe
same round age of her husband. Tbe captain first
visited America as a sailor in the ship Runaway,
which came over from Europe in 1780, with supplies
sent by France. Germany and Prussia, and which,
after having been chased by British cruisers, suc
ceeded ia reaching Great Egg Harbor, and placing
the supplies safely in the hands of General Wash-
ington.
He returned to Europe the same year, and in
1807 came back to this country, landed at New
Castle, ami has been a resident of Wilmington until
the present time. During the war of 1812, the cap
tain commanded the supply-boat which carried
powder from the Messrs. Dupont’s works to the va
rious points where that important article was or
dered by the government, and many times was his
little vessel chased by the British cruisers, who kept
a sharp lock -out for all such crafts, and for none more
keenly than for Christy’s powder-boat.
Mr. Guthrie, the late Secretary of the Treasury,
made him keeper of the Christiana Ugfct. and from
tbe condition of toe lantern, and everything else
aboct the place, it is evident that the post is well
filled. Mr. Cobb has continued him in that position.
He is certainly a remarkable man, and doubtless
owes much of his present healtigjo bis uniform so
briety, not having tasted intoxicating liquor or used
tobacco for 50 years, and having always lived with
much simplicity of diet

Col. James W. dveene —
Dear Sir—l have recently been informed that
you will not support the Administration, nor the
nominees of fhu Gubernatorial and Congressional
Conventions, because the Democratic party,through
their press are already repudiating the Third Beso
lution, and apologizing for Walker aud Buchanan.
Is my information correct ; aud, if so, will you give
me your reasons for the course you intend to pur
reniv) UoWme me privilege to publish your
re P'y ■ Your friend, Are.,
L. T. Dotal.
Thomaston, Us.., August >O. 1857.
Col. J . Doyal, Me Don ‘u trh —
Dear Sm-Ifonr note of the 13th instant has
been received. The inquiries whieh you are pleased
to make of me, would have been answered earlier
but for my absence from home in attendance uron
the Supreme Court, at Atlanta. h .
I was one of the delegates from Up so a county to
tne Congressional Convention of the Democratic
party of the Third District, held at Forsyth on the
‘J2d of June last, and I voted for the resolution in
troduced in that Convention by l)r. R. L. Roddy,
(a delegate from Monroe county.) condemnatory of
the “policy” indicated in the Inaugural Acfch eiw Os
Governor Walker to the people of Kansas, and Ids
unauthorized inter fence in the question of slavery.
This resolution was unanimously adopted biy tb*,
Convention, which also adopted another resolution
referring the whole matter to the State Conv, nti >n
of the Democratic party, which was to meet on the
24th of June, at Milledgeville. The resolution
adopted by the Convention at Forsyth, was accord
mgly brought to the notice of the State Convention
and by that body was, on motion, referred tot a
Committee. The Committee to whom itwss refer
red, reported the following resolution, commonly
known as the Third Resolution :
Resolved , Tnat the Inaugural Address of Gov
Walker, in prescribing the terms on whieh Con
gress should admit Kansas into the Union, and in
attempting to dictate to the citizens the submission
of their Constitution for ratification, and to what
class of persons, constitutes a preeumptudfis inter*
ference in matter ovei which he has no legitimate
control; and that the same address, in expressing
his official opinion that Kansas would beeotm* a free
State, andii presenting arguments to toioUrn ’lnt.
side ot is a gross departure from the
principles of non-intervention and y now
e?rublished by the Kansas bili, and this Cmmmirm
hao full confidence that Mr. Buchanan will Tnafirost
his fidelity to the principles which ca v ?■led him into
office by re-calling Gov. Walker.
You see that the Democratic party In their Stot-
Convention went one steo further, an demanded
of Mr. Buchanan the re call of Gov. V. .filter a? a
test at his fidelity to the principles whb), carried
him into power. This resolution was niiim- ntly
adopted, or nearly so. Then the Con. •<•,. t ’.her
ately determined and aujudged that •he -o i, v
cated und the ideas advanced by Guv. ‘7 ‘ V
Inaugural and Topeka speech Were vi e,
the principles cf the Kansas bill „!? , ( ( c ,. ■.
mined in effect that Ajr. lffiohaoan siuwkl p- 1
him, in order tp manifest his fidelity
to the principles upon which he was elected. The ‘
Hon. Joseph E Brown, the nominee of I lie Conven I
tion for the office of Governor, accepted the muni ‘
nation and fairly and squarely placed himself upon
the resolution in his letter of acceptance I heart i
ly endorsed rha entire action of‘the Convention,
and felt gratified that my parly possessed sufficient
intelligence to appreciate our common rights, anil
patriotism and mural courage to dare paserl anil
maintain them, even at the peril of incurring the
.displeasure of those who were high in authority -
And after reading Judge Brown's letter of accep
tance, I felt proud that the “ unterrifh and” and “iron
ribbed” of the Empire State of the South, had se
lected such a gallant standard-bearer in the ap
proaching contest, and felt that all was right, and
that a glorious triumph of the principles of non in
tervention and neutrality awaited i,s in October
next. Some of our American friends were sadly
disappointed, and others gratified, at the patriolic
spirit which was equal to the exigency of the occa
sion, and which rose superior io party dictation, as
was fullv shown in the adoption of the third resolu
tion. That resolution placed the parly in line to
fight for the equality of the States, and against tl e
enemies to that vital principle, whether they la
high or low.
Sixty days have passed by and Walker is still the
Governor of Kansas, he still continues to exert
eveiy energy of his strong intellect, and the patron
age and influence of his official position, to make
Kansas a free State—and that, 100, under thu eye
of the President. The third resolution was adopt i d
ingtod lailh, and under the firm belief that Mr.
Buchanan would unhesitatingly manifest his devo
tion and fidelity to the principles of the Kansas Bill,
and upon which he was elected to office, by prompt
ly recalling Walker as soon as his attenti m was
called to his conduct. But in that we have been
most woefully disappointed. He has repudiated
the teBB of Georgia Democracy. He has refused lo
redress our wrongs. he has disregarded our com
plaints, permitted the laws of the land to be troddeu
under foot, and has suffered his agents to pander to
the spirit of freesoiliam with impunity.
In view of all the facts I have staled above, to
be a consistent and honest Democrat, I shall adhere
to the letter and spirit of the third resolui ion. The
entire Democratic party, according to all party
usage and political ethics, are clearly committed to
the same course— not only by the adoption on the
third resolution by the late State Convention, but
by previous declarations of their frieads in various
platforms, and especially the ri, elaratiun of princi
ples which formed the Cincinnati Platform, end up
on which Mr. Buchanau was elected. The party,
therefore, is necessarily compelled to condemn and
repudiate the line of policy adopted by Walker in
Kansas, and approved of by the present adminisl.ru
tion, with Mr. Buchanan at its head. To pursue a
different course—to take “one step backwards”—
would be humiliating, and unworthy of the great
and victorious Democratic party of Georgia, if
the party fail to stand np to the third resolution, they
will be forced to abandon their most cherished
principle as secured to the Southern States in tii
Kansas Nebraska Act. But can they stop here ?
Will tiiey have to do nothing more than to give up
a great cardinal principle of the party —I mean the
equality of the States, and the liberty of the citi
zens of a Territory ot the United States to form
and adopt a constitution, either with or wu bout,
slavery, as a majority ot them may determine ?
Where will the abandonment of this great principle
carry them ? and what wifi the party tie forced to
do if it persist in sustaining the freesofi policy of the
A miinistration ? Tiie conclusion is irresistible, that
they must become the apologists and defenders of
tiie manifest tendencies of the President and uis
Cabinet to freesoilism.
But we are told to wait : give the President, an
opportunity to be heard—do not condemn him with
out a hearing. We have waited in ail conscience
long enough, and the only tidings wo have from
head-quarLers is, that the 3d resolution is condemn
ed and will be disregarded by Mr. Buchanan He
has had ample time to have given bis reasons. —
Some ofhis friends in Georgia who voted for the 3ri
resolution, insist that wc shall wait until bo can com
municate with the people in his annual message o
Congress on the Ist Monday in December next.—
Then it will be too late. Kansas, under the present
policy of Ml , Buchanan, will be wrested from our
Southern friends, and they will be whipped and run i
out of the eountry. And then, so far as our rights •
iu Kansas are concerned, it will be imum rial ,
whether we hear from him or not. It ia urged, (on, ;
with great earnestness, that we. should nit with .
draw our confidence from Mr. Buchanan until alter
the election in October next, as the success of ‘he j
Democratic candidate for Governor will be periled
by it. Judge Brown has recently announced, as I \
have just been informed, that he would sustain the i
Administration, if it did approve of Walker s course
in Kansas. If this be true, lus election in October
will be hailed throughout lilt lentft.h and br.udlh of
the free Slates as an endor sent ut of the Walker
polity by the Democratic parly of Georgia. and a
triumphant vindication of Mr. Buchanan's dtsrt
aard of the principles upon which he it t elected to
office.
It is also said, that we have no righ: to texp ain,
because the pro-slavery party in KvjsS j, of
Gov. Walker's policy Is this true ? TANARUS!.. ‘•(No
tion is absurd, and those who make eu-! ad. u .
lion, do it in the face of the late letters of Dac rto
and Atchison—the latt- r the head a ‘1 front ...
pro slavery party ia the Territory. Mr. Aleu son j
says, in a letter dated 20tii July, to Alpheus H k a , ‘
that ’’ Walker has done us and our cause mure in
jury than Hale , Chase , or any other abolitionist i
could, have done.’’
Another plea of justification of the President, is,
that Gov. Walker has exceeded his instructions.
Where is the proof 1 The evidence is, th&t lie has
acted under tue approval and directions of tho Pre
sident—that his inaugural address was prepared and
submitted to the President and his Cabinet, and
wholly approved of by them. And on his way to
Kansas, he called on Mr. Douglas, and submitted
it to bim, and he approved of it.
But for the sake of argument, let us concede all
that the apologists of tbe President contend for—that
Gov. Warner ha* acted upon his own responsibili
ty. 1 hold that there is a strong obligation resting
upon him as the Chief Executive of the United
Btates. and sanctioned by his official oath, which
makes it his imperative duty to recall Gov Walker,
as well as in fulfilment of his pledges before and
since his e> tion. Apart from these high conside
rations, the warm and generous support of his po
litical friends of the South, to say nothing of those
noble and patriotic men, who with unparaiied mag
nanimity, forsook their own illustrious and wed
tried Fillmore, and gave him their suffrages as the
only hope of defeating the Black Republican candi
date, shall have made such an appeal to hia grati
tude as to have compelled him to have hurled Gov.
Walker from his present position, the very instal l
he was informed of their disapproval of the manga
ral address—whether the course of Gov. Walker is
approved or disapproved by the Presidetu his fail
ure to recall him makes Mr. Buchanan responsible
for his acts. It is immaterial to the truth and force
oftbe argument urged against him, whether lie ap
proves ms acts or not. If he approves them, then,
Mr. Buchanan is guilty of deception. If he disap
proves of them, his continuance of bim in office m‘
tantamount to an express declaration of approval,
and that he has not sufficient moral courage and
political nerve to discharge his official duty. Take
either ‘ point” made on him from the record, and
his political friends are forced to repudiate his Ad
ministration, and do it now.
It is farther insisted, that the Democratic State
Convention of Georgia, acted precipitately and the’
we should pause in our course, and if we. do na,
that it will produce division and dis fraction in the
ranks of the Democratic party which will result in
its defeat in the approaching election If we have
acted too precipitately, the great principle of non
intervention, as contained in the Kansas act, is
wrong and anti Democratic, a M the Inaugural ad
dress and the Topeka speech ar- the genuine teste
of Democratic principal—tbe reply is emphatically,
no; but cease agitating !he interference of Gov.
Walker—you peril the success of the party. Then
the argument is, make no war upon the administra
tion for a violation of great principles,—look to par
ty triumph and not principle; save the loaves and
feh first, and then, if not too late, look to the in
terests and rights of tbe South. Such a position
ia too humiliating for the ’‘old iron ribbed” of Geor
gia-, besides, it is treason to the South.
For the first time in the history of the Democrat-
-nvw tuc uvnwiy vi tire 1/eimvTaT.-
ic party, we are told that it is necessary to fornak*
long cherished principles in order to achieve sbo
oees. Asa consistent Democrat, I shall not heed
toe counsels of self styled party leaders and trick
sters, who regard it of much more importance, to se
cure the spoil*, than the triumph ol pri rieiples
The object of the policy of Gov. Walker and Bu
chanan, is to exclude slavery from all of the new
States to be formed out of the Territories Simfo
too, is the settled policy ot all parties in the free
Statefe, and the late moveof Walker and Buchanan
a is made to chime in with this general gentnnatr
and thereby strengthen the Administration in *
Slates, and insure the election of a Demo&ato.
President in 180. This effort to freesoibze the K
tional Democratic party by tha present Aomiuwfra
tion should bo promptly opposed by toe party in
Georgia, us a scheme fraught with direst masctlief to

rathe •! oh es of, the First Congressional ifi&tru f :
T have rceeived‘comumpieatione from many coun
ties, iu this district, informing me thai. it is the de
sire oi a large portion of the people, that l should
represent them in the next Congress of the United
States. The expression of this wish has been made
in primary meetings of the people, by members of
the American party, by meetings irrespective of
party organizations, and by many citizens who, re
gardless of party domination, have not hesitated to
offer met heir confidence and support. I havw
thought it best to make this public reply to all, as
the time has arrived when my respoke to these ex
pri ssions of public opinion ought to be know n. 1
beg leave, therefore, in this way to express my
most grateful thanks to the personal and political
friends throughout the district, who have thus pub
licly given uttereuce to their kind opinions 1 feed
that they are very honorable to me, aud I wish that
T deserved them. I would rather deserv e their good
opinions than be elevated to any office. 1 accept
fne position they have been pleased to assign me,
and J say to all that if it be their good pleasure to
elect me as their represeutative in.the next nation-’
al Congress, 1 will servp them to the best of my
ability, with a zeal stimulated by voluntary conii
deuce reposed iu me, which demands, aud w ; l! re
ceive, whatever tribute of head or heart I can bring
Id their acceptance. Tl is true that I neitln r ?oughl
nor wished lor the position to whieh I have been h.

roiu the rude blasts which must be met, as ho as
cends from the peaceful fields of private labor to the
cold emiueneief* of public life, aud may well distrust
his ability; to meet the requirements of au untried
station.
But it is untrue that I have felt or displayed that
arrogance, which- demanded that position or elfi e
should be forced upon me a condition of accept

the true happiness of the people.
No, have I ever advocated any measure which
could be tortured into an attack on I lie rights of any
: itup-n of this country, either civil or religious An
Amei tean individuality a distinctive nationality,
t-hould be tho wish of all, wherever born, who claim
the proud title of an American citizen. Theeultiva
tion of iflese sentiments, the maintenance of our
constitutional government, the cause of true liberty
reposiug upon law, demand in my judgment, pro
tection from those which a vast and
indiscriminate immigration from all parts of the
world brings iu its train. Nor am I able to perceive
how the naturalised citizen is loss interested in this
protection, than he ot native origin. This country
is his and Ids children’s, and its civilization and
liberty, is as inestimable to him, as to any portion
of the people. Questions of mere administrative
character have lost much if not all of their interest..
Most of them have been settled. The country has ac
commodated itself to the existing state oft hinge—it
would be unwise to disturb it by rash experiments.
I have been educated in the opinion that the op
erations of government should be as simple and
interfere as little as possible with the industry and
pursuits of tho people. In a Republican form ol
government this principle allies itself with the pro
tection of Liberty The Executive arm is strong
enough to grapple wit h Liberty, withoar increasing
its power. A standing army of placemen, is almost
as dangerous as a standing army of bayonets. Large
*• venues swell the currents of corruption, aud sap
ta foundations of public virtue.
Efficiency of government may be closely allied
with economy and simplicity, and without these,
public virtue is exposed to great trials. I fear these
principles, though loudly professed, are but little
pvacib ed, and T think the govermneut levies from
the industry of the people, a larger revenue than io
required ter it3 wants, or is compatible with a pure
administration.
The question connected with the territorial gov
ernment of Kansas, have attracted, and continue to
attract, the most, engrossing attention. They have
shaken the country with terrible violence, and have
arrayed in the free States a party whose triumph
must be, I fear, upon the ruins of the Union.
Looking at the present attitude of this question, a
southern man can have but one duty. II in inter
ests, his pride, his independence, are wrapped up in
those of the South. Whether the repeal of the Mis
souri Compromise was wise or unwise, at least it
was no infringement of the rights, the institutions,
or the equality of any State in this Union. When,
therefore, that, repeal is made the pretext for an as
sault upon our rights, our institutions, and our
equality, we have no other course left us but a stern
defiance to theii assaults. Wo have no compro
mise to make. Upon Ihis subject we are united by
a resolution to maintain, “at every haaard and to
the last extremitythat independence without
which we are untit associates of those gallant Suites
who have bequeathed to us the traditions of 177 b.
L fear that the only valuable principle of the
Kansas Hill—the principle of no n-lulervr ntw ;i — is
in jeopardy. It was charged, at the time of its
passage, that it was never intended to do more for
the South than to beguile her witn a shadow. It is
undisputed that the Executive arm of the Govern
ment has iuierveued, and against the South, in
the present /Settlement of the government of Kan
sas. That principle- pure and uncompromised—
should bo vindicated at the ballot box. It >h above
the interests oi any Unity or any Administration.
For one, 1 am unwilling to hold the rights of my
►State in subserviency to any party arrangements.
If that betei mg by v*. hi< h we are to be admitted
to an equal place in this confederacy, our degen
eration has already commenced. When we are no
longer needed to elevate a chieftain, wo shail
cease to be regarded. No security can avail us but
our own determination to maintain our rights, and
the recognition of them by the patriotic heart of
this great country.

A Letter from Washington to >lnli*on—Never
till now Published.
An eminent friend has furnishhd us with the
original h tter of Washington, which is printed be*
We do not find it in Mr. Spark’s volumes,
i • L, w f ,T e reason to believe that it never has been
, published before. It is derived from the Madison
manuscripts, and is one of a collection purchased of
Mr Todd, a nephew ot Mr. Madison, b/ Mr. J. C.
McGuire, of the city of Washington.
The accompanying letter is highly characteristic
of the groat President. It is wise, far-seeing, pa
triotic, self respecting, unselfish, ingenuous, aid
modest. The sentiments it developes in regard to
public affairs and public op'men anil feeling, are as
appropriate to our times, and are as essential to be
dwelt upon and enforced now as they were iu 171*2.
The letter aids us in the formation of one important
and interesting conclusion —that, although Hamil-
ton, as is generally supposed, may have drafted the
Farewell Address, and given to it its clear, elegant,
and affecting style, yet the prominent ideas of that
grandest legacy ever made to a free people by its
ruler, upon withdrawing from the cares of the State,
had been previously expressed by Washington him
self, as they were conceived iu his own noble aud
Sagacious miud.
Mount Vlrnon, May 20, 1792.
’ My Dear Sir :—As there is a possibility, if not a
probability, that I shall not see you on your return
Lome ;—cr, if I should see. you that it may be on the
road and under circumstances which will prevent
:ny speaking to you on the subject we last con
versed upon, I thke the liberty of committing to
paper the following thoughts and requests.
I have not been unmindful of the sentiments ex
pressed by you in the conversation just alluded to ;
on the contrary 1 have again and again revolved
them, with thoughtful anxiety, but without being
able to dispose my miud to longer continuation in
the office 1 have now the honor to hold. I there
fore still look forward to the fulfillment of my fond
est and mosi ardent wish to spend the remainder of
my days (which I do not expect to be many) in ease
aud tranquility.
Nothiug short of conviction that my dereliction of
the chair of government (if it should be the desire
of the people to keep me iu it,) would involve tin*
country in serious disputes respecting the Chief
Magistrate, ami the disagreeable consequences
which might result therefrom, in the floating au l
divided opinions which seem to prevail at present,
eeuld, iu auy wise, induce me to reli iqui h the de
termination I have formed ; and of this I do not see
how any evidence can be obtained previous to the
el ction. My vanity. lam sure, is not of that, cast
to all w me to view the subject in this light.
Und r these impressions v theii, permit me to re
iti rate the request I made to you at our last meet •
iug, via: to consider the proper time aud the beat
in Je of announcing the intention, aud that you
would prepare the hitter In re viving this sub
ject -nys-of, my judgment lias always been embar
rcp and flu tfo *jL‘ hard, n aievi*u s declaration to
upturn, not ot ly care, s with it the appearance of
vainly iupi selt-iiizDortauco. bu* it may beooi cirued
into tx Ki&mnuvretq be invted to remain. And on
the 4 ber hand, to . j ey nothing, implies consent; or,
at u.y rate foouid ieivr the matter indoubt; suit
to decline afterwards, mignt be deemed as bad, and
u. candid.
J uvula fain carry my request to you farther than
ached eb- ve, although Ia n sensible that ymr
coi cub ace with itrausi .id lto your trouble; but
as the lecebo may afford jou i'.s n , aud 1 filter
uy.elf you have disposition* u 01.-igc me, I will,
without apology, desirt ‘if the inrutoue in its*,U
j eUoold strike y u a*’ proptr, and like!\ to produce
j public godtl v>.- .uiviue iionoi) tua- ; u w ulil turn
! vmi-thoughts to a valedictory address man me to
the public, cxpieasing in plain and oiodeAf terms,
that having been honored with the Uiesimutial
chair, audio llie best of vn\ abttitie o contributed io
the organ and adanListralion of the govera
n*ieut— t.iat haviug arrived at a period ot life when
the private walks of it, in the shade of retirement,
becomes j.ecesearv and will be most plea ing to tie,
—and the spirit of the government may te.tder a
rotation in elective officers of i* mon congenial
with their i<h as of liberty t:tul safety, that I tike
my leave of them as n public man : — and in bidding;
t hem adieu (retaining iio mner concern than such as
will arise from fervent wishes for the prosperity of
my country) I take the liberty ni my departuro
from civil, as l formerly did at iny military exit, to
invoke a continuation of the blessings of Divine
Providence upon il—and upon all those who arc
the supporters of it* interest*, and the promoters cf
h iimony, order and good government.
That to impress those things. i might, among
other t ilings, be observed that- we are all the child
ren of the same country—h country great aud rich
in itself—capable, aud pioiniamg to be, as prosper
mia aud happy as any the annals of history has ever
brought to our view. That our interest,, however,
diversified in local und smaller matters, is the samo
in all the great essential concerns of the nation. That
the extent of our country—the diversity of our cli
mate and soil, aud the various productions of the
States consequent upon both, are such as to make
one part, not only convenient, but perhaps indispen
sably necessary to the other part—and may render
the whole, at no distant period, one of the most in
dependent in the world.
That the established government being the w r ork
of our own bands, with the seeds of amendment en
grafted in the Constitution may by wisdom, good
disposilions, and mutual alliances, aud oy experience
bring it as near perfection as auy human institution
ever approximated; and therefore, the only strife
among us ought to be, who should be foremost in
facilitating and finally accomplishing such great
and ileaii able objects ; by giving every possible sup
port and cement, to the Union. That, however, n©
cesriury it may be to keep a watchful eye over our
public servants and public measures, yet thero
ought to be litn ts to it; for suspicions unfounded,
and jealousies too lively, are irritating to honest
feelings, and oftentimes are productive of more evil
than good
To enumerate the various subjects which might be
introduced into such an Address would require
thought; and to mention them to you would bo
unnecessary, as your own judgment will comprehend
all that wfil be proper ; whether to such, specifically,
any of the exceptionable parts of the Constitution
may be doubted. Al! I whall add, therefore, at pre-
sent, ia to beg the favor of you to consider— lst tho
propriety of such an address; 2d, if approved, tho
several matters which ought to be contained in it;
and JU, the time it should appear ; that is, whether
at the declaration of my intention to withdraw from
the service of the public, or to let it be the closing
act of my administration, which will end with tho
next session of Congresa (the probability being that,
that body will continue sitting until March,) when tho
House of Representatives will also dissolve.
Though I do not wish to hurry you (the caeos not
pressing), in tho execution of either of tbe publica
tions before mentioned, yet I should be glad to hear
from you generally on both—and to receive them iu
time, if you should not come to Philadelphia until
the Session commences, in the form they are final
ly to take I beg leave to draw your attention also
to sueli other things as you shall conceive to be fit
subjects for communication on that occasion, and,
noting them as they occur, that you would be so
good as to furnish me with them in time to be pro
pared, and engrafted with others for the opening of
the Session.
With very sincere and affectionate regard. lam
—ever Yours, G. Washington.
