For the Chronicle & Sentinel.
To Th>. Ho*. Thomas W.Thomas:
The politician seems to have assumed a latitude
( f cotnturction which has heretofore been consider
ed as only allowable in the poet; and so adept have
n ne gentlemen become in the art of twisting a
plain matter into a knotted mistificaiion, that one,
not very attentive to pa&ing events, will find it dif
ficult eomelimes to distingniah between a n artistic
p--Utica truth and a poetic fiction. The difference
between them is, however, very slight. The poet,
| by a very pleasing lie, gives birth to a very beinti*
ful fancy — while the politician, by a tortuous taacy.
gives birth to a very plausible lie. While law,
which some say is the most exact of sciences, gives
the “largest liberty” in fiction, we are not to be a*
t--hi-bed, I Suppose, that gentlemen who have cou
pled the a'tributes of that learned profession with
the in-tinct# of the politician, should report to the
appli* ..rion of the legal science to demonstrate their
po itica! aiwma*ieH. From hence, it may be infer
red, the leaders of the “great National 1 )emocratic
pa*ty** have drawn the more worldly wise than
honest conclusion, that it is more important to in
sure tfce success of their p?jdy, than expedient to
maintain their principles. The safety of a people's
rights, and the peace of the country is of no conaid-
The perusal of your letter of the 10th of August,
; to a Mr. Sledge, law been the cause of the latter
; portion of these reflections. I could have wished,
for the gratification of the little selfihness that is in
! ray own nature, to say nothing of the high respect
f entertain for you, that you had not written that
Utter. One does not like to have bis beau ideal
destroyed by an unsightly expediency. Self-respect
j is b>o valuable an attribute of the gentleman, to
give place even to the fire of a generous impulse.—
The object in this instance is Dy no means worthy
! of the sacrifice.
} our first letter to the editor of the Constitution-
I n : i t, was a direct and well meant blow at Presi
i ih;Tit Buchanan. I believe you were honest and
incere in all you said in that letter , I think the
i imblic believed you were. I have no doubt you ac
ted from pure and disinterested motivee. You were
carrying out the spirit of your 3d Resolution. You
did not ntop to enquire if your party approved it.—
It was what you and your 400 compeers had agreed
on at M ill edge ville, in behalf of the “great Demo
cratic party.” When the President’s organ at
Washington City told you insolently, that it waa
“harsh and ungracious,’* you did not hesitate to
strike the traitor. It waa a defence of both right
and principle, and when men will not defend them,
and defend them readily, they are only fit to be the
avea—the mean, groveling, slaves of power.—
They can never become “ distinguished ” but for
their infamy. .
But unfortunately, your candidate for Governor,
Mr Brown, wan dancing attendance upon Mr. Bu
chanan—was “in waiting'’—and when you struck,
the weight of your ponderous blow fell on hisun
covered head! So untoward a mishap would, how
ever, have been of very little consequence so far as
the man was concerned—but the politician , in
whose success so many hopes are centered is quite a
different matter. It is not presumed you thought
about Mr. Brown, and how your gallantry and
prowess might effect a simple non eomb&ttant. I
cannot believe you particularly desired to injure
the gentleman—your great aim was to defend your-
self and the Convention. Yet it is very possible, in
the find impulse of your indignant feelings, you may
have thought that Mr. Brown’s defeat would be
the iirent and best means of rebuking the treache
ry of Mr. Buchanan. Yea, it is”very probable such
a thought lurked in your mind at first. Such a
cou.>e non , would .save the honor and integrity of
the Democratic party—and 1 sincerely hope there
are Democrat* enough in Georgia, who prefer prin
cij le to party, to save them from the merited odium
tluit would attach to the party, by the success of
Mr. Brown. The election of Mr. Brown will be the
diahouoriug of the party, and the betrayal of prin
ciple. How can it be otherwise, sir ?
But “ bigger bugj ” were ready to blame you,
when they saw Mr. Brown staggering under your
unfortunate “lick.** And I presume a“ decent re
peel for their opinions’’ required an apology
Your letter of the lOth of August, alluded to, I lake
!(i be a salvo to the wounded cranium of your
friends, and a peace offering to the all powerful
Democracy. It is true, you still say Mr. Buchanan
is a traitor, and you have no confidence in him,
and all that. But what does it amount to? Why,
nothing—it is all “sound and fury, signifying noth
mg.’’ You had better have held your peace in the
lir.-t instance, than to have gone round a great cir
cle to come back to the same spot. You have now
put Mr. Buchanan out of your reaoh, and all you
can do i** to shake your fist at the adversary—to
motion—to strike in the air, and dance a sort of
war cimioe in solo —which is a very unprofitable la-
bor, es you will see.
If Mr. Brown had have taken thepositiouas
•umed in your first letter, it would have had some
shew of sustaining the principles of your party, and
rebuking the Administration. But, instead of thAt,
the leaders of the Democratic party have required
an unconditional submission to the power that has
betrayed them—an humble submission to Mr. Bu
chaimii—and a respectful observance of the wishes
of hid Cabinet. I cam ot refrain from astonishment
that you have so far modified your views as to be
obi* even to “ acquieeoe” in the humility. And,
further, to be so obliging as to give up your own
conscientious opinions into the keeping of your
much favored friend,Mr. Brown, who is willing to
“ wait a little longer,” having yet faith in Mr. Bu
chanan; while you candidly confess you have not.
It is doubtie is a very happy state in a man’s dispo
sition, that he can thus oblige a friend—and certain
iy an evidence of very great self-denial, that rather
than see the party which has won the singular ap
pellation of the “ unlerrifietV', in danger of being
no longer the recipients of publicplunde*, to willinfg
ly give up his own opinion and Ins idea of sustain
ing a principle. Ido not mean a disrespect person
ally—politically my bpirit labels at such a total dis
regard ol all moruki in politics—ami I cannot see
how any high minded Democrat can patiently sub
init to the degradation. One might presume that
the appellation of the “ unU'rrtfied” was derived
from its being fearful insensible to tho terror which
infamy generally inspires in virtuous minds. The
stain upon the Democracy in this trying occasion
would sunder anything but the “ adhesive power of
public plunder.” And, if it stands this debasement,
let no Democrat ever boast hereafter of principle—
lor Ins party has murdered principle.
Bui mortification as well as astonishment moves
me, when I observe your willingness to leave the
Democratic party in its present dilemma, and turn
your attention to the very unprofitable labor of en
deavoring to prove the American party is as “ deep
in the mod aa the Democracy are iu the mire.” I
did not design to make these letters of a disputative
character—but 1 may be permitted to remark that I
have never, in all my political readings, tuall I have
seen published from the great and the little—the
Icaric and and the illiterate—the wise man and the
tool —met with such singular conclusions as you
have drawn from the premises you have laid down.
You observe th t tlw American party endorsed the
Kansas bill iu 1855—you do this to leave the im
pression by your arguments, that the American par
:y mu and, therefore,sustain Walker’s policy, as their
present platform says they see “ no new feature” in
the lesultd grow.ng out ot the policy of the Admin
istration, ilow could a gcutleman of your know
ledge make such a remark or attempt te leave such
an impression on the minds of your readers, when
you an-compelled to add, tor truth’s sake, “ with
the ej o pUou of the alien feature.” Why, sir, that
exception is everything, it is the difference be
i\veei. the American party and the Democracy. It
establishes the sound views and consistency of the
one, and destroys your argument and convicts the
other. By that ** alien feature” Mr. Buchanan
<to destroy us now, and Mr. Brown and the
Democratic party is backing him in doing it. And
the present difficulty sud danger is the u&tur&l re
sult ot what the American party warned you against
last year, viz : A Freeswl President backed by the
destruction put upon the Kansas bill by the freesoxl
•ingot'the Democratic party.” How can you at
tempt then to make the people of Georgia believe
that the Aim rican party sustains, or ever did bus
tain, Walker's policy, or anything that would even

•rganizatiou of the American party wou.d at this
da> have exempted it, even in the weakest minds,
rom the suspiowma which you would have cast upon
t. Put did it not occur to you. that in attempting to
how that the American pm ty favored Walker s noli
. y.tliat you were condemning your own party? You
have attempted to prove the American party no bet
ter than the Democratic party —which is tantamount
to an admission that the latter may be considered
■open ‘sly corrupt and unprincipled—that the South
eru Democracy is sold, and bound hand and foot to

.party has allied itself w ith tue freesoilers. uncondi

ilelibcrately bargained awuy the very birth-right of
the Southern people for the s;ike of holding office. A

Sn , :i the truth was known, I should not be sur

i . h%st t -ougrees, and that Messrs. Toombs. Cos oh,
iiM b* plurs, at least, were privy to it, if not parti
#..<>, in the unholy scheme. I suspiciou this,
ti.v gt ut.emec. from Mr. Stephens’ remark in

;- , : atural laws : and frvm support of aiu-n svf

no better to-day, in Georgia, than the B‘ack Be
pablkans. It is as rabidly in favor of alien suffrage,
and the foreigners, as the Black Republicans are
for freeaoil and negro fanaticism. And by the uni
ted action of the two wings, the South cannot ex
pect else than to become the prey of such unprinci
pled harpies. The policy of the one, and the doc
trines of the other, are equally hostile to her pafety.
Will the people never wake from their spell of
delusion ? The means of peace and safety are at
hand. The American party presents an honorable
refuge. It will not do to say it is too weak. There
is a powerful and well organized body of our most
talented, enligbteued, and upright citizens in every
Southern State, who act from principle ; who are
not held together by the “adhesive power of public
plunder,” but irom a sense of true patriotism—who
;ove their country better than party, and who unite
upon National principles for the protection of mu
tual rights. A few thousand of the equally pat iotic
citizens, who have heretofore gone with the now
decayed and rotten Democracy, added to the Ame
rican party, would make it triumphant, and restore
to the troubled country the boon it craves— j*ace
and safety!
The American party is clear of unholy Freeeoil
alliances. It has no cause, therefore, to be treach
erous. It is national in construction and sound in
principle. Foreign paupers and criminals are not
imported by the ship load to .fill its ranks, and work
evil and rum on the country. It looks to our own
native born sons to keep the fires of patriotism
alive upon its altars. It is the only true party to
protect oitf rights, to preserve the Union and the
Constitution, and to rebuke and punish aggrewsion
Let Geoigia set the glorious example of throwing off
the shackles of despotism with which the leaders of
the Democratic party 1 ave bound the people, and a
happy change for the better will be seen at once.—
W e may then hope for peace.
There is no abler man of his years in .Georgia,
than Benjamin 11. Hill, the American candidate
for Governor. No people have reason to be proud
er of a fellow-citizen. He is eminently qualified in
every respect to advance the interests of the State,
and Fuatamour rights. He is a gallant, true heart
ed Georgian!—a gentleman, a scholar, and a Chris
tian. No man can be more devoted to the beet in
terests of his native State, and there is none more
deserving of honor.
Besides, my dear sir, we want new men in our
councils and at the head of affairs. It is a first im
portant step in applying the remedy for our wrongs.
The old political Democ atic hacks are either worn
out, or bloated with corruption, and are little bet
ter than stalking pestilences in our midst. While
they remain as the rulers of the country, things get
worse. We see this daily.
But we are told to “wait,” and Mr. Buchanan
will give “some reason” for his treachery; go at
least Mr. Stephens suggests. Fine consolation, tru
ly ! But, sir, is that all that the Southern people
are to expect? Is that all your boasted Democ
racy will permit them to ask for ? No, sir, indeed it
is not. What becomes of our rights? Are we to
have no assurance against future outrage from your
Freeeoil President ? We shall see ! Mr. Buchanan
has added insult to injury. When he turned his
back contemptuously upon you and your 400 dele
gates in convention, scorning to notice your re
spectful address to his attention—but speaking
complacently and flatteringly to 43 “ insolent, dog
matic, hypocritical fanatics,’’ could he have invent
ed a more deep, deadly, and debasiug insult? If
the Democracy have manly hearts, in God's name,
let them resent such insolence, or never again speak
of principle or independence!
I am well aware, sir, how dear party ties are to
men who take a due interest in political matters—
how all men profess to regard consistency. I ad
mire it myself • but I am no advocate for consis
tency iu the abstract, —as though it were not some
times the part of a wise man to change his course,
and in view of impending ruin to his country, op
pose a policy advocated by a party once his own,
but ceasing to be his, when the party departs from
principles upon which he has taken his stand. And,
sir, when it appears that the most important acts of
a party in power, are at variance with the most im
portant policy or principles which themselves claim,
are we not to regard such inconsistency as indica
tive of a want of integrity and political honesty?
—and that their professions are Dut a veil to hide
their wicked designs ?
You took your stand, with thousands of other high
minded gentlemen of the Democracy, upon the prin
ciples and policy of 1850—your party has departed
from them. It has departed from you and your com
peers. And you and they are no more bound to fol
low the party now, than the Whigs were to cling to
John Tyler I never entertained an idea of your
quitting your party—the latter part of your letter
would have destroyed such an idea if I had enter
tained it. But you, and thousands of others, who
believe like youreelf, that Mr. Buchanan ought to
be rebuked, have just cause to abandon a party
that has foreaken its principles and betrayed your
rights. You nor they, can administer any rebuke to
the President by voting for Mr. Brown , on the con
trary, you will be upholding him in his treachery,
and encouraging him to a renewal of his aggres
sions.
I have lost all confidence in the leaders of the
Democratic party—they have ceased to manifest
any patriotism. Their object is power,—power by
any and every means. Tliey are biggotted, selfish,
and unscrupulous—utterly regardlesc of our rights,
except iu mere promises. I shall war against them.
Wi‘h the American part y I have cast my fortunes—
it Is, at least, worthy of a fair trial. Let the people
make It powerful for good; a dis it tails, they can
unmake it as they made it It is at least free from
corruption—it is young, vigorous and ready to do
good service. It numbers in its ranks many of our
purest and wisest citizens, who cannot be bought off
ny the promise of office. The good, the wise, and
patriotic of all classes are invited and urged to muke
it the means of rebuking the insolence and treach
ery of the Executive, and of defending their rights.
If it does not boast the honor of electing a treach
erous Freeeoil President—it has not lost a Kansas
to the South.
With the sincere hope, my honorable friend, that
a Power, wiser and purer than even the concep
tions of men may guide uu all aright, and shield our
beloved country from the peril which our short?
Hightedness may sometimes threaten her; and also,
that you will take what has been said, whether fa
vorable to your views or unfavorable, with the same
spirit of kindness with which it has been written.
With the highest respect,
An America* Citizen.

Mr. Editor—Any one, even a candid Democrat,
who will read carefully the extracts from the Kan
sas-Nebraska and New Mexico and Utah Acts, fur
nished to the Constitutionalist , of the 19th instant,
by “An Original Kansas Man,” will not fail to ob
serve that there is a much greater difference be
tween them than “A. O. K. M.” has indicated, by
itnlics or his remarks. To show this difference,
which may have escaped his attention, I \ ropose to
consider separately the provision made in them for
the fir*t and for the subsequent elections, and to
show, us I proceed, the effect produced by the dis-
ference mentioned.
For Kansas, it is provided, or prescribed, by the
Act, that the voters at the first election shall be Tree
white males, inhabitants, above the age of twenty
one years, and actual residents of the territory, who
shall have the following qualifications, to wit: They
must be citizens of the United States, if they are
not citizens, they must have declared their inten
tion, on oath, to become citizens, and have taken
an oath to support the Constitution of the United
States and the provisions of the Kansas Act.
For Utah, it is provided that the voters at the
first election, ahall be free white males, inhabitants,
citizens of the United States, above the ago of
twenty one years, who shall have been residents of
the territory at the time of th© passage of the bill.
No man, therefore, but a citizen of the United States
can vote iu Utah.
New, according to the Kansas Act, a citizen of
the United States—say, from Connecticut or from
Missouri—who has dwelt one day in the territory,
previous to the first election , being by that an in
habitant and resident, is qualified to vote at that
election. So, likewise, an Englishman, warm from
Exeter Hall, dwelling in Kansas one day becomes
an inhabitant and resident, and if during that day
he chooses to take the required oaths, be is qualified
to vote at the first olection, even if it should
l>e on the next day. But in the Utah Act, the case
is quite different; in that territory, the citizen from
Connecticut or from Missouri, or the Englishman,
must have dwelt in the territory at the time of the
passage of the bill, otherwise they could not vote at
the first election. According to these provisions of
the Act, it is evident that citizens of the United
States, or foreigners, dwelling or squatting for one
day in Kansas have the right to exercise the privi
lege of voting at the first election. But in Utah,
dwelling or squatting to r the purpose of voting at
the first election is excluded by limiting the right to
vote to those only who were in the territory at the
time of the passage of the Act
This difference in the acts can not be accidental
or the result of carelessness, for the bills were framed
and discussed with deliberation, and it must be ob
vious. that the difference was the result of design,
and intended to accomplish certain purposes in Kan
sas which were not desirable in Utah. In the Kan
sas act the purpose is clearly iudicated to be the
opening of the first elections to the influence of
Squatter Sovereignty aud Alien Suffrage. Iu the
Utah act, no such opening can be found.
In providing for tlie subsequeid elections the acts
declare that the qualifications of voters and holding
office shall be such shall be prescribed by the le
gislative assembly, it is provided, however, that iu
Kansas the right of suffrage and holding office shall
not be withheld by the legislative assembly from
citizens of the United States, or from foreigners
who shall have declared, on oath, their intention to
become citizens, ami shall have taken an oath to
support the Constitution of the United States and
the provisions of the Kansas act. In the Utah act,
providing for subsequent elections, the qualifications
of voters aud of holding office, are referred as in
the Kaunas, to the legislative assembly, but the le
gislative assembly is not permitted to withhold the
right of suffrage or of holding office from citizens
of the United States, and citizens l ©cognized as
such by the treaty of 1848 with Mexico. The as
sembly certaiuly have the right to exclude aliens or
naturalized foreigners and squatters, for the first are
not eitizens of the United States, and the latter,
though citizens, may be made to conform to the or
ganic kw in which the time of residence was a neoes
sarv qualification to the voters at the first election.
ere it is proper to remark, that in accordance
with the Kansas act, the first election was thrown
open to the influence of Souatter Sovereignty aud
Alien Suffrage, and that the legislative assembly,
whatever else it may do, cannot close the suqse
quint elections against it It may be true, that the
legislative assembly have the power to prescribe to
a certain extent, the qualifications of voters and of
bolding office, but the main features of the princi
pie* of Squatter Sovereignty and Alien Suffrage is
forced upon them, and it cannot touch them, for if
any free white mac. twenty one years of age, chooees
to take the required oaths, he may, within thirty
days after escaping from the gallows in Liverpool
or Dublin, exercise the right of suffrage, or hold of
fice in Kansas. The case is entirely different, ac
ending te the Utah act, as the legislative assembly
under that act are not required to recognize the
Squatter Sovereign or Alien Suffrage imposed upon
the legislative assembly of Kansas, and it may re
strict the right of suffrage exclusively to citizens of
the United State*, who are such, in conformity to
existing taws, or have been made such by treaty
with Mexico. L* VK

Burke County Politics.
Burke County, Sept. 25, 1857.
Mr. Editor The writer of the communication
signed “ A Voter ” in the Constitntionalst , cf the
10th inst., goes to some length in trying to make the
worst end of his dubious statements appear plausi
ble, by appealing to the sympathy of the honest vo
ters of Burke. And with a view of influencing the
supporters of the independent candidates, asserts
knowingly, (and I would like to know where he got
his information,! that Mr. Shewmake waa brought
out by a “ caucus of Temperance men and Know
Nothings.” ** A Voter well knows the truth of
Mr. Skewmake’a assertions in his letter to the voters
of Burke county, and hence it is that he and his as
sociates are writhing under its condemnation. Mr.
i Shewmake shows conclusively the trickery display
ed by the “ W'aynesboro* clique,” (of which, doubt
less “ A Volei ” is the leader.) in selecting all South
ern Rights men, to the exclusion of Old Line Whigs
and Union Democrats. lie also knew, on the day
that this Toombs ticket was nominated, that there
was a dissatisfaction among a majority of the Old
L ; ne Whigs and Union Democrats present. He
apeak* laughingly of Mr. Shewmake’s complicity,
and ought to be, in honor bound, to support the
nomination, because he (Shewmake) voted in the
meeting. Grant that he did, does the gentleman
tell us that Mr. S. voted for either of the nominees ?.
Does he tell us that all, with but few exceptions of
the Old Line Whigs and Union Democrats, threw
away their votes by ballotting for Tom, Dick and
Harry, land some not voting at all.) because they
knew after the meeting was organized, that this
same “ clique” had blocked the game upon them ;
or does he tell us that for a month previous to this
same meeting, that it was a “ fixed fact,” two of
the nominees should be selected. How can “ A
Voter” and others of ltke kindred, with such truths
staring them in the face, dare expect a majority of
the voters of Burke, with a knowledge of such evi
dence contrary to that deduced by “ A Voter,” sup
port this unfair and premeditated nomination.
The people of Burke are yet alive to their own in
terest. This same Voter intimates that Mr. Shewmake
should not be trusted with a seat in the Legislature ;
happily for him, Mr. Shewmake is well known, not
only in Burke, but in other sections of the country,
as a wise and judicious Representative; having
been twice elected from this county for that office,
which he has filled with credit. And if there is a
single vote or act of his that is not endorsed by his
constituents, they have yet to let it be known.
Not so with the gentleman a candidate for the
Senate, who has voted to tax the people to pay one
county Judge.
Hoping that the voters of Burke will, on the first
Monday in October, arise in their might and put
down tliis sectional strife, so detrimental to the
peace and unanimity of ail parties, is the wish of
Independent.

The Eighth District.
Mr. Editor :—I am truly rejoiced to hear so
good a report from our friend Miller, in his canvass
against Mr. Stephens, so far. Is it possible that the
intelligent old Whigs and Americans of your dis
trict, will allow Mr. Stephens to again misiepresent
that portion of tffe intelligent Southern public em
braced in the Bth District—a District 60 long arid
well known for its sense of right, patriotism and
personal independence. I see by the papers that
Mr. Stephens is at his old trade of insincerity and
“ skillet toting ,” and lam glad to know he has at
length got an opponent who has the talent and bold
ness to appreciate his own and Mr. S.'s position, and
to meet and beard him with an tmblancbing coun
tenance. All honor to Tom Miller, he is a noble and
gallant man, and of whom even the Bth District
may well be proud. I have seen and read his
speeches with a pride which a long personal friend
ship only can appreciate. He is a friend to be ap
preciated. His points have been well conceived and
well maintained, and whatever may be the result,
he has covered himself with a coat of honest and
well merited armor, of which his political opponents
may now and hereafter well beware.
Will someone have the kindness to inform the
public, apart from Mr. Stephens’ own bragging,
what he has ever done for tho country ? Where is
the record of great measures, or striking events,
which acknowledged him as their lawful progenitor
With the single exception of his motion to lay the
Clayton Compromise on the table, for which he was
denounced by his preoeut friends—the Democracy—
as “ a traitor to the South,” and iu which his wor
thy coadjutor, Judge Cone, led off, I can call up no
measure originated by him.
It is true, he has made some tart and often stri
king speeches on other men's measures , and which,
as the country well knows, he was furnished the ma
terials of, from the discussion,* and the particular
debate before the House or the country. A tolera
ble collater of facts, with a mind disciplined to sug
gest numberless points with which to annoy an ad
versary, Mr. Stephens’ whole public career seems
to have been embraced in two single propositions .
the first, to get advantage of his antagonist, by
adroit movements and side issues in the then pend
ing discussion ; and the second, so to adjust his
generalities to the then present question as to leave a
prudent loop hole of retreat when other questions
may have arisen to make the former position un
tenable. This has been the tactics of his whole life
long. He has been a party skirmisher rather than
a statesman , while every movement of his politics,
and every energy of his mind have looked rather to
lire probable effect upon the sovereigns of his dis
trict, than to the permanent welfare Denouncing
the American party with the rancour of a renegade
and the eavagenesa of a broken friendship, it is
barely possible that he would have been a Demo
crat to day, (if report be true,) had the hated Know
Nothings, as he has chosen to call them, permitted
him to a degree of “ honorary membership" 1 in their
secret council. And thus have allowed him the dou
ble title to leadership which such a violation of their
order would involve, and such suomissiou as such
an act would have betrayed. After all of which,
he has the effrontery now, iu the presence of solid
acres of these same men to tell them “Ac never
abused them!”
Mr. Stephens has been so long in the habit of con
centrating the very elixur of rath upon the heads of
his political opponents, that he has become abso
lutely callous to the language of, common abuse ?
Mr. Stephens has now been in Congress many
years. Almost his whole time has been devoted to
politics. No family cares, or social hours of recrea
tion, have been his, he has been emphatically a
rnan apart, having all his time and talents at com
mand ; who, when others were engaged in the gay
circles, social re unions or scenes of roistering good
fellowship at home or at Washington, has been
closeted in the gloomy cell of his own thoughts,
manufacturing sharp replies,or shrewd suggestions,
to adorn his selfishness with the chaplet of leader
ship, or to ornament his speeches with the crown of
sharp rejoinder. And this is all! On the stump,
his amb tion seems to have been to win the present
fight, one way or another ; and we apprehend no
man ever met him who regarded him a fair and can
did debater. With a person to elicit sympathy, he
has so attuned his notes as to play upon the strings
of public attention, and keep himself personally
in the foreground of the picture, whatever might
become of his cause, or his associates. Now, such
is the mau whom the people of the Bth Di-trict are
asked again to send, “ toteing kis own skillet ,” to
Washington City.
Will they do it ? and more especially when they
have the chance of sending that high-sonld, unselfish,
fenerous and manly-toned gentleman, Tom Miller.
hope for the honor of the District, that such a
nightmare of calamity does not await its people.

Motmra. Hill and Bartow at ThomasvUb*.
Mr. Editor:—Yesterday was a glorious day for
old Thomas. Mr. Bartow, our candidate for Con
gress, and Mr. Hill, both addressed about fifteen
hundred cf the citizens of this and sunounding
counties.
Mr. Bartow led off in a speech of some two hours.
He reviewed the history of parties, in a rapid way,
for the. last four or five years—stated his where
abouts in every struggle since he cast his first vote
in 1840—had nothing to disguise and nothing to take
back or regret; stated that he never had joined
what was called the Know Nothings ; objected at
the time, as to the tray the party was organized,
but never had, nor could have, any ol jections to
the doctrines set forth by the organization. After
the secreey was removed, he became a me i.ber of
the party, and not till then. This done, he then
passed over the local questions connected with the
first Congressional district. He said that many of
the people of this section of the district had, at one
time, objected to him on account of his supposed
selfish feelings as a Havannah man. To this he re
plied that he loved the whole of the first Congres
sional District ; he also loved the whole of Georgia,
and if honored with a seat in Congress, that every
section and every interest in the District, as well as
the State, weuld receive his unceasing and impar
tial attention. Upon this subject Mr. Bartow was
fervid, impressive and eloquent. This, as I
pose, he intended as a sort of rebuke to the slai g
that has been rung from time to time in the ears of
the people of this section of the District, in relation
to Brunswick and her Railroad interest. He pledged
himself, as a faithful and honest representative
should, to do, if elected, all he could to secure ap
propriations for the Brunswick Navy Yard, and to
build forts to protect it. I have no hesitation in
saying, that Brunswick has a friend in Sav&n.
nah in the person of F. S. Bartow. People of
Brunswick, do you fear to tru9t him ? Ido not,
and all my predilections have been linked with you
in the struggle to build up your eity.
Mr. B. closed his speech by stating distinctly and
unequivocally, that he yet stood on the Georgia
Pialf jrm. a practical application of which may soon
have to be tested by the people that made it.
Mr. Hill was then introduced to the audience.—
He rose with a pleasant smile on his face—a true
index of victory with a politician, as I suppoee, or of
th<- havoc he was going to make of Democratic con
sieteocy ; for he commenced by a playful bit at the
“fidelity” that Mr. Buchanan was to manifest by
recalling Walker, in accordance with the demands
of the Democracy of the South, and of Georgia in
particular. He entered at once into the discussion
(without preliminaries of the Kansas-Nebraska Bill,
and the Buchanan Walker plan of bringing Kansas
into the Union as a free State, in accordance with
the Northern construction of the Bill, and the wishes
and intention of the President. I have heard the
bill discussed frequently—its merits and demerits
portrayed with power—its Northern face and its
Southern face exposed to view—but it remained for
Ben. Hill to cap the climax. Mr. Bartow told us
he would leave this subject for &J“more eloquent
tongue than his.'’ I don t know that he was more
eloquent than Mr. B.', for he made no effort of the
i kind, bu: despite of an effort, it would pour out now
and then. But the way he had of telling it, and the
I guthori y t Democratic | he had to prove every state
: ment he made, was completely overpowering. 11
Is perfect nonsense for me or any body eke to pre
tend to draw a picture on paper, of Ben e way of
getting at facts, and then clinching them with
stedge hammer blows after exposing them. The
newspapers for the last four years have been team
iug with the most flattering accounts of the mac—
his powers of argument—his clear, logical deduc
tions. and the con vincing way that be has of direct
ing it home to the -hearts of believers as well as
unbelievers, but uone of them have come up to the
reality. It is not extravagant to say. that for
dear and convincing argument, and unahoyed logi
cal deductions, Mr Hill should be placed at oooe
1 alongside with Clay. Webster and Calhoun. It is a
fact worthy of remark, that although Mr. Hill is
i comparatively young —perhaps thirty-six—and so
many haltering eulogies are being pr- nounceU upon
j him everywhere, yet there is not the ieast e , uiei.ee
i of vanity about him, which is no slight proof of his
i true greatness. Men with such a head and such a
| heart, should never die : and if permitted to live
I twenty years more, the body may then perish, but
his fame will not.
In conclusion. I have a proposition to make, it ia
this : If any man that now - doubts or hesitates ’
who lives within fifty miles of any of Mr. Hill's ap
pointments. will go and give him an Impartial bear
mg, and then goes borne unwilling to vote for him
mi the day of election. I will pay the expenses of the
trio nnd wages for the time.
Mr. Editor, is k not particularly fortunate that we
have lived to see in the person of Benj. 11. Hill, an
intellectual giant, rise up as by magic, to rebuke the
evils and correct the errors of Stfch political dema
gogues Toombs and Stepheus ?
Mr. Hill's visit to our town has won the hearts of
our people. We will give him the beat vote we
can, and if the ueople do theii Buly on the first
Monday iu October, Ben “ goes in.”

From Havana.
The steamer Catawba arrived at Charleston on
Monday, with dates from Havana and Key West
to the 25th inst. We copy the following items trom
the correspondence of the Courier :
In my last letter I sent you a full account of the
three sailors brought here by the brig Black Squall,
of Philadelphia, and who you will remember, were
accused of the murder of the captaiu of the brig Al
bion Lincoln, his two mates and a fellow seaman.—
The two men, Peter William -, a Frenchman, or
rather a Belgian, and Abraham Cox, a negro, from
1 oelieve Portland, were accused by the thiidsailor,
who is a mere lad, of having committed the inurdt r.
An investigation, I learn, has since taken place be
fore the acting United States Consul, Thos. Savage,
Esq, and the two men, Williams and Cox, have
confessed their guilt, and they endeavored to impli
cate the third sailor, Fahey, in their murderous deed.
This lad Fahey, however, in some degree establish
es his innocence, by having recorded all that was
done by the other two in the register of the Albion
Lincoln, which he managed to secure and have put
into the boat in which they were picked up by the
Black Squall. I team, however, that it is intended
to send all three of them to Portland in irons.
On the 9th inst. the brig John Shaw arrived here
from Portland. She reported having spoken the
brig Northman, of Boston, from Wilmington, bound
to this port, at anchor on the Bahama Banks, her
captain very sick, as was also her second mate,
whilst the first officer was dead—that the North
man had not a navigator on board whose health per
mitted him to navigate her to this port. That she
(the John Shaw) remained near the Northman until
she saw a navigator go on board from another ves
sel. On the 10th inet. the Northman entered this
port under the charge of Mr. Gurdee Mab 1, chief
mate of the ship J.F. Austin, of New York, bound
from that port to Galveston, Texas. That Captain
Green, of the Northman, never spoke after Mr. Ma
bel got on board of her, and the second mate was
more dead than alive when the Northman came
into this port; indeed, every soul on board of her
was so ill, (with what is called the Wilmington Fe-
ver,) except Mr. Mabel, that they were all at once
taken to Belot’s Hospital. During the four days
Mr. Mabel was iu charge of the Northman, he had
to work the ship single handed, reefing and steering
by himself, and on the night previous to bis leach
ing this port, it blew almost a gale of wind, and to
add to his terrible situation, the Northman leaked
so badly that it was found impossible-to keep her
free, single-handed as he was. For four days and
nights did this brave and meritorious Yankee sailor
prove himself well worthy of that noble character
which we usually attribute to the “bluejacket.”—
I should hope the underwriters of the Northman will
award Mr. Mabel with some lasting token of their
sense of his truly sailor-like conduct.
A passenger who arrived here in the Central
America, anu who awaited a passage to New Or
leans, I have lieaard it stated was sent to the hospi
tal with yellow lever. God help the unacclimated
who are forced to dwell here at this period.
On the 13th inst., a coasting vessel arrived, having
on board 20 or 10 (I have not been able to ascertain
which number) negroes who did not possess regular
Cedulas and who could only utter in Spanish the
words “N* Senor,” (yes sir.) This being consider
ed proof, that tney were newly landed Africans,
they were taken possession of by the authorities,
and will after serving a term of apprenticeship be
considered Emancipados.
The intelligence of the loss of the Central Ameri- #
ca, brought to us yesterday by the Philadelphia,
from New- Orleans, has caused many a heart to ache
in our midst. There were among her passengers
several, 1 know not the precise number, residents
of this city. There are many families no w weepiug
the loss of near relatives and friends in this city.

to pay its debts in full, but this will depend in some
measure, on the result of investigations yet to be
made. The probability is, however, that this will be
the result, it having been reported that some of
the Directors were concerned with Mr. Ludlow in
his speculations, we inquired of Mr. Scarborough
upon this point, and learned that the committee
have, so far, discovered no evidence or sign of the
existence of such a relation.
The New York Directors excuse themselvos by
explaining that Mr. Ludlow misrepresented matters
to them, and, having confidence in the man, they
did not go behind his statements. Large sums were
borrowed by Ludlow at seven per cent., of private
bankers aud capitalists, which he reported to the
Directors as deposits at 3a 4 per cent. The parties
who loaned this money to Ludlow supposed it was
being used at the West at 10 a 12 percent., and
therefore did not suspect there was anything wrong.
Collection piiper was deposited as collateral security
for money thus obtained, aud of this, the New York
Directors say they had no knowledge. At the time
the Bank suspended, ail the collection paper was
hypothecated. This is an indication of the manner
in which its business waa transacted. Now, the
buestion is, where did this money go to? To this,
no answer has yet been obtained. It doe3 not ap
pear that the funds were stolen, outright. It is not
probable they were. The only reasonable hypothe
sis is that Ludlow speculated largely in stocks, aud
thus lost the money. It is known that he purchased
four hundred thousand dollars of the stock of the
Trust Company at a high price. It is also known
that he took the last batch of bonds issued by the
State of Ohio. By these two operations he sunk
over half a million of dollars. We imagine, it will
be found that the Bank has been rotten for some
time, notwithstanding the satisfactory exhibits sent
for the inspection of the Directors in this city; and
that it has been ruiued by stock speculations and in
judicious loans made to lame duck merchant and
crippled railroad companies, for all of which Mr.
Ludlow may or may not be alone responsible.
Waking up of the Fatherland. —The Berlin
correspondent of the Neue Zeit gives a glowing ac
count of the material progress of Germany. This
is manifest in commerce, agriculture, man ifaciures,
every department of industry, iudeedaoke, and
attribut and by the writer to the powerful influence
of association of capital, in the form of j -inf stock
companies. A few years ago they were scarcely
thought of, or were confined to banks, railroad,
steamer or similar enterprises. Now there are
three hundred and fifty in Germany proper and
Austria together ; among them fifty-three railroad,
a hundred and twenty mining and twenty-six manu
facturing companies. The aggregate banking capi
tal employed at the present time is $283,000,000,
against $61,250,000 in 1849. There is an evi vident
tendency in Germany to the development oi'manu
factures of all kinds, in which it has advantages, in
its varied climate and abundance of cheap and |
skillful labor, over almost every other country of
the world. It may become the best consumer of
our own great staple.
Bank AccoMMODATioNS.-The money editor of the
Journal of Commerce has the following notice of a
bank operation in Philadelphia :
There is much written and uttered about the il
liberally of the banks, but those who complain most
would perhaps be equally loud in their condemna
tion if any trouble should come through a want of
prudence on the part of these institutions. We
doubt if any of our city ba >ks has been as “close * as
some of their sister institutions in Philadelphia. It
is reported that one bank there became so costive
that a customer, a littie irritated at the picayune
policy, drew a note for five dollars at thirty da>s,
covered it down the bock with first close endorse
ments from Lis fellow-sufferers, pinned to rt a ten
dollar bill of the same bank, as collateral, and then
offered it for discount. Tnis was what Jedediah
Tompkins would call “hintin arovmi.
A Blurt Couclcsior.—The New York St.J de
clares clearly, but with great calmness :
We are becoming a nation of vain, extravagant
fools. From January first to this date we have im
ported foreign merchandise to the value of one hun
dred and seventy five millions of dollars —about
fourteen millions more than onr imports amounted
to for the same time last year. The value of our ex
ports since January Ist is about fifty millions of dol
lars. or four millions ot dollars less than our exports
for the same time last year. We have run into
debt this year aloDe about one hundred and twenty
five millions of dollars, and by the end ot the year
our foreign debt for imported goods will be much
larger.
The Fill is the Price or Wheat — A cargo

Stats Road Printing.
Another natural consequence of li e pi reel t sys
tem is the imposition of exorbitant charges for
printing. And this, being a continued imposition,
palmed off year after year, becomes oue of consider
able magnitude. There is * ither a great deal more
done than is necessary, or else the prices charged
are enormoua’y high. That this latter is the fact we
will now try to demonstrate.
The business oftite LiGrange ltoad for 12 months
amounted to $317,000. Cost of Stationery and
Printing $376 being three-tenths of one per cent, on
the business done.
The business of the Memphis & Charleston Uoad
for 1G months amounted to $780,000. Stationery
and Printing cost $l,B-44, beiug one-fourth of one
per cent, ou tlie business done.
The business of the Georgia Uoad for 12 months
amounted to $1,109,600. Stationery and Printing
cost $4,116, being three-eights of one per cent, on
j the business done.
The average of the above for Stationery and
Printing is a traction over three-tenths of one per
cent, on the business done.
Now, the business of the State Road for 12 months
amounted to $*S 1,1-00. Stationery and printing
cost $3,956, being lrty-five-one-linndredths of one
per cent, on the busuiess done, or nearly fifty per
cent, more than others pay in proportion to busi
ness. If the amount of Stationery and Printing were
ktpt within reasonable limit , or the charges only
such as would be charged by others than favorites,
it would cost thiity-one-oue hundredths of one per
cent, on the business done. Then, instead of cost
ing $3,956, it would cost only $2,700. Here, then
citizens of Georgia, you are paving annually tile
snug nttle sum of $1,200, to a pet Newspaper estab
lishment to assist it in keeping up a defence, and
blinding you as to the true Gate of affairs No
wonder it can tell the people that they should lie sat
isfied with the honor and grandeur of the property
whether they t ver got any return or not. Os course,
you ought. It tells you tokeepy- ur mouth shut
while it pockets your cash, and of course you sliculd
obey!
Bir, Tax-payers of Georgia, remember that the
00 price at which this work should be
done, and allow the contractor a fair business profit
ou his capital and iabor. It is the rate paid by oth
er roads under private management, where the par
ties doing the work are understood to charge a fair
and and living profit. Hence, you are swindled by
these harpies out of $1,200, each and every year
that the present B}stem continues. This is more
than enough to sustain an office for the exclusive
use of the Road !
P a y an Auditor some
S I .BOO per annum to audit, and a Superintendent
some $2,000, per annum, a part of whose business it
is to approve all accounts before they can be cash
ed. Now, it has been the practice to pay accounts
from Printing tor as much as SI,OOO, without being
audited or approved ! So. you perceive, you pay
officers to attend to your business who neglect it.
and ail for what ? That they may take contracts; at
higher prices than other people offer to do them at,
or spend the time that belongs to you in electioneer
ing. At this moment, the Auditor of the State Road
lives, and edits a paper, in Griffin, whose business
it is to support the present dominant party through
that paper, lie getaeuough to support him, indepen.
dent of the paper, and spends about two days in a
week here in the discharge of his duties. One of
the papers here gets the profit that would fairly be
his on the $2,700, that the Stationery and Printing
should cost, and then gets the $1,200, more as £
bonus. People of Georgia, will you stand it? Can
you stand it / or will you rise in your majesty and
hurl these miscreants front power ?
\Ve append a few items, first giviug the amount
reafiy charged and paid, and then the real value of
the work :

This is the way your business is done, and these
are a sample of the prices they make you pay. And
while they get these profits, they have the audacity
to tell you that the honor of the ownership, and the
grandeur of the project, ought and must satisfy
you! —Atlanta American.
Senator Toombs at Elberton
Not satisfied with his then extreme opinions
when at Couvington, the Senator expressed him,
aelt in favor of giving a cordial welcome to the
Jail Birds and Paupers of Europe, he now goes still
farther and enuuciates the following disorganizing
sentiments, to wit :
‘‘That the right to vote did not depend on citizen
ship. The States have exclusive authority to regu
late the elective franchise, each within its own
limits. They might confer the privilege of voting
upon a foreigner as soon as he landed upon our
shores, or withhold it forever.”
The Constitution of the United States says that
Congress shall have power “To establish au uniform
rule of naturalization”—Section 8, Art. I—and that
“The citizens of each State shall be entitled to all
privileges and immunities of citizens in the several
States’ - —Sect. 2, Art. 4.
Now, there is the language of Senator Toombs,
and the language of the Constitution of the United
States. Can the two be reconciled ? What is the
Union for? Or, if both are right as above quoted.
i3 there really any Union ?
According to Senator Toombs, c itizenship can be
conlerred by a State on a foreigner as soon as he
lands ; the Constitution says, that Congres only has
the right to establish a uniform rule ot naturaliza
tion. Now, is the Senator’s plan an uniform one
foiftlie Union ? If not, can it be constitutionally car
ned out ?
Let us see how it would work! Suppose South
Carolina adopts the Senator’s p an, whereby a Jail
Bird from Europe becomes entided to vote, and to
citizenship. George repudiates that doctrine and
abides by the Constitution. But the South Carolina
citizens remove to Georgia, and demands to be
recognized as a citizen, and the full enjoyment of
privileges thereto appertaining. Georgia refuses
such recognition, and then he appeals to the Uni
ted States Constitution which says “The citizens
of each State shall be entitled to all privileges an ‘
immunities of citizens in the several States.” Now,
here is a difficulty, aud a serious one. How shall it
be settled? And who is to set’le it?
Suppose New York should import 10,000 of these
Jail Birds and invest them with citizenship, under
Senator Toomb’s plan, immediately preceding a
Presidential election, and New York, being a large
State, should decide the result. All the other States
complying with the requirements of the Constitu
tion of the Union are placed at a great disadvantage,
and are certainly not equally circumstanced as
members of the same government. It 13 nonsense
to say that under his plan all the States could pass
uniform laws, for they would not, inasmuch as many
would utterly repudiate aoy such monstrous doc
trine. The States, then, adopting such a course,
must govern the Union; it would be inevitable;
and the dissenting States would be forced to submit
to odious and unfair legislation, or secede from the
Union.
The States most likely to adopt this disorganizing
doctrine are in the North and Northwest; and be
they few or many, it places in their hands, through
tln se just landed criminals and paupers, the power
to send the most unprincipled disorganizes to Con
gress, whose political action must prove injurious
to the whole country—but mainly to the Southern
section.
Such a doctrine, put in practice, would involve
many of the States in immediate aud bitter antago
nism. It is revolting in the the extreme to even
contemplate—-and the confusion and condition
which would foilow its partial adoption, are incon
ceivable. What would be the consequence in the
House of Representatives ? Prom New York would
be representatives elected by voters not recognized
as such by representatives from Georgia, and yet
each sitting in the same capacity, apparently under
the s,line government. And yet the constitutional
uniformity is wanting.
Again; what is to hinder these Criminals and
Paupers from returning to Europe immediately
after an election / Is it unreasonable to suppose
such characters, lot to principle and all moral
obligations, might be induced, by just such un
principled politicians as Seward avd Toombs, to
come here, tile their declaration of intention , be
immediately elevated to the posilio \ of a voter,
exercise the privilege aud then go back to Europe?
We know this is an extieme view, but we think it
opens the door tor just such wild and disorganizing
schemes. Extreme and unprincipled as it really
would be, our knowledge of reckless political dema
gogues in desperate circumstances, aud the pre
sent peculiar favorites and pets of Senator Toombs,
constrains us to believe such a thing might be done.
Under all the circumstances, we think the Sena
tor has been all the time drunk, or else he is going
crazy. His doctrines seem to us to strike directly
at the root of our Government—as setting at defi
ance our present Constitution and Laws—as open
ing wide the floodgates of corruption and sectional
strife—as inviting contention—as revolutionary
and disorganizing in their tendency, and as lead
ing, with fearful and alarming certainty, to South
ern humiliation in the Union, or a complete and
final disruption of its holy ties. We heartily wish
we could avoid our conclusions, but we cannot.
The speech at Covington, backed up by what was
said at Forsyth, and more recently at Elberton,
seems to us to foreshadow the inauguratien of a
policy which will force disunion upon us. We have
tried to reach a different result, but turn and view
it as we may, we are irresistibly forced to our con
elusions, unless we greatly mistake our own peo
ple, and their spirit.
We find it impossible to reconcile Senator Toombs
and the Constitution of our country, and can only
reiterate the questions with which we started, “what
is the Union for, or if the Senator and the Constitu
tion are both right, is there really any Union ?
Whither are we tending ?
But if our view is right, aud the Senator and the
Constitution disagree then, which should we side
with—that Constitution framed with so much wis
dom, and und -r which we have prospered for years ?
or a reckless political demagogue, whose desperate
fortunes just now would incline him to any course
to secure a re-election ? —Atlanta Amer .
Captain Herndon—A Hope.—Mr. Fraser, the
second officer of the Central America, reports that
he went dowu on the wheel-house with Capt. Hern
don, whose last orders were :
“Now, buckle on your life preservers. We are
going down.”
Mr Fraser then went down ; and, wonderful to
say, came up through the metal ventilator of toe
steamer, .-md with difficulty was worked through the
crooked part of it to the top of the water!
Mr. Fraser etates—that two men in the Ma
rine, one of them Mr. Jones, told him that they saw
Captain Herndon two hours afier he was up—that
is, two hours after the vessel was wrecked. lie
was then hopeful—talking with o’hers, and en
couraging those around him. He had two life-pre
servers ou—one certainly, and that believed to be a
cork one.
The vessel which was seen to be near the Central
America on Saturday, and which then gave no as
sistance, and now believed to be blown off, was seen
on Saturday morning, and it is thought she may
have picked up passengers. It is possible that
Herndon and others may have been saved in this
! unknown vessel. We shall await report from her
with anxiety.
The wind, however, increased Saturday enough
to give the waves white cape, which must have de
stroyed many lives. ’
Capt U. gave his watch to Mr. Theodore Payne,
of San Francisco, when in one of the life boats, to
give to his wife—in case he wa3 saved. Mr. Payne
has the watch, and is now on his way from Norfolk.
Capt. Herndon also sent a message to his wife by
Mr. Payne.
Mr. Fraser saved him3elf not only by his life pre
server but by a door of the ship. He thrust hi.-*
iiands through the windows, and then put his head
through. He had not quit hie post on the ship for
lour days.— X. Y. Express.
New York Money Matters.— The New York
weekly Bank statement shows a continuance of the
contraction of loans—though to a more moderate
extent of $1,200,000 —and an increase or the specie
reserve, while the actual deposits have increased
slightly. This strengthened position is satisfactory.
The aggregate reduction of loans since the contrac
tion commenced, has been $13,31)0,000, while during
the same period the specie reserve has inoreaaed
$1,700,000. i'he loans axe now a million below what
they were at the date last year, and the specie is f 1
300,000 larger, shewing the banks in much stronger
position than then, especially when wexoneider that
the capital has been increased over $10,000,000 in
the same period. The banka also owe $8,000,000
less on deposit than at this time last year. The de
posit line tor the week shows a smaH nominal de
crease. but the actual undrawn line is about half a
million larger than last week, being $-07,852,000
against $57,334,000. The comparison with previous
week is :

Congress, by the late President and Secretary of

OBITUARY.
Died, on the 14th Sept., of Gastritis, Mrs. JANE KING,
consort of Michael King, at his residence in Jefferson
county, Georgia, in the 41st year of her age.
The deceased had been a member of the Methodht
Episcopal Church eighteen years, and well does the
writer remember seeing her join the Church, and in a
few minutes thereafter she shouted the praises of G<id
fr un a feeling sense of pardoning ; ands oin her tlie
tonguo i of lire spread almost visibly until the camp of
Israel was in a tlamo from the Pentecostal shower.
Never shall I forget that avrful yet glorious night.
From that time onward *he ado:n<*d her pro tension by
a meek and quiet spirit, aud in walking in all the com
mandment and ordinances of the Lord, blameless. Five
years ago she lost an only and lovely daughter, just in
the bloom of youth. From thut sore bereavement, she
never recovered. Though, physically, she was the very
embodiment of every thing noble, handsome and lovely
in appearance, yet was her ebastonod spirit subdued,
and she made it her constant business to prepare to meet
her darling BKIJL. Often has she sighed, eager to'de
part and be with her. Ten days previous to her dissolu
tion, she visited tbe tom If o££or departed daughter, and
lopg did she veep over it, little thinking that in
so short a time her redeemed-and happy spirit would em
brace that of her lamented child in the home of the good.
In all the relations of life, she aeted well her part, add
ing to a symmetrical and lovely person, the graces which
adorn the female character. She was eminently domes
tic in her character and retiring in her disposition ; but
tbe very large crowd which assembled to pay the lasl
tribute to departed merit, demonstrated how highly her
worth was appreciated. Her loss to the Church, in the
community and among her relations generally, will he
great but to her companion and orphan sons it will be
inc-ah utable. Wounded hearts, partially healed by time,
have been made to bleed afresh. As death approached,
she spoke calmly, and laid she was conscious her end
w *a near, but that she was prepared fur it and was tiot
afraid to die. Thus passed away one whose prospects
for long life and happiness were Haltering—far superior
to that o most mortals—bnt to depart and be with Christ
was far better. s. B. C.
Died *n the £oth September, 1857, In this city,
TALLULA, Infant Daughter of Mr and Mrs. Z Me
CORD, aged one year two months and four days.
Thus, in one hour, the endearing tie wb ch bound fond
parents to an unusually lovely and amiable child, was
broken, and their loved one buried from their sight, but
not from their affectionate remembrance. TaLI.UI.a,
although dead, “ yot speaketh ” She had a mission to
perform, ad when fulfilled she was called to a fairer
clime. In her loving heart, her parents had a sincere,
artless and affectionate manifestation of human naiuie
—a lesson of simple faith and confidence, awakening iu
their hearts new and powerful affection.*, constituting i*
golden thread in the cord that should bind tbeir hearts
to Heaven A FRIEND.
