We learn from a reliable source that a vigilance

The absence of any thorough organized govern
ment, or po i.-o system, of telegraphs or railroads,
enables these aoouudrols to play their game boldly,
with but little risk. Forking years the citizens of
the Territory have been subjected £o systematic
les.es and despoliations. It has ‘...‘oine so at
length that a utan is unsafe in lsavit'g his house

ready to seize every opportunity. Ouee mounued

During the last year huudreds of horses have

they see fit.” bee Appendix to Cong. Globe. voL
22, part Ist, 1649-50, page 16*2. Again, in 1860,
Douglas said to Hale in his place in the Senate :
“But for your voting against my bill last session,

acquired from Mexico would at this moment have

~M y object ioygoing back*ro 1860,|1a ;o show that
Douglas, (according to his statement 23d February,
IS.'iO,) has never abandoned the doctrine of Squat
ter Sovereignty. Judge IJj’glae on the 23d of
February, ISO!), usee the following language : “At
if it teat umetking extraordinary that 1 should
hold the same opinions note, that I so fully express
ed in the great contests of IS3O, 1851. and in :856 ”
I have quoted hie opinions in 1850 and 1851, they
are hateful enough Ue hunaei! eays be holds tbe
same opinion, in 1850 that he did in 1850,1854 and
in 1850. So you see tbe man that wan chairman of

The Daily Constitutionalist of August 14th, 1859.
groeaiy mi?repreeenta Judge Dougiae record arid
eayinge in the Senate, on the 23d ot February, 1859,
by culling extract, from hi. speech and liien com
paring tboee extracts with the reasons given by Mr.
B H. Bill to Col. Dudley, why Jodge Douglas aud
hi. dogmas should receive no favor at the South.
M . Hill says :
Ist. “This dcctrine assumes that the tenure by
which we hold property in slaves, is different from
that by which we hold other chattel property.’*
Mr. Douglas says, 23d Feb., 1859:
“It is not to be denied that taxation regulation,
may be so exercised by the Territorial Legislature,
as very nearly to destroy it,—that is slavery.’’
Mr. Hill says :
2. “It assumes that special legislation is necessa
ry to create, or at least to preserve property in
staves , and that more especially are we in the
power of Territorial legislation on this subject.'*
Mt. Douglas says, 23d February, 1859 :
“In my opinion, under the taxing power a Terri
tory may discriminate as well as a State. In my
opinion if the taxing is exercised against any one
species of properly, it may have a tendency to
drive it out. It beyond that, there is an absence
of Territorial legislation , such as would fall to give
it efferent protection —that does effectually exclude
11.“
Mr. Hili. says:
3. “This doctrine of Mr Douglas assumes that
there can be such a thing as u Government which
does not protect the citizen, and cannot execute its
own laws.”
Mr. Douglas says, 23d February, 185 *:
“1 stand here defending the great principle of
non-intervention by Congress, and self-government
by tha people of the Territorim. Ten ; era ugo
General Cass was the nominee of the D*i t ratic
party. He was the champion of this doctri .e trt its
broadest and most unrestricted sense , as explained
i n his fitcholson letter. ’’
Mr. Hill says :
4 “But, again, this doctrine of Douglas allows
to the Territorial legislature aud people what it
denies to Congress.”
Mr. Douglas says, 23d Feb., 1859 :
“Although the people of the Territory are not
a sovereign [ ower, authorized to put a constitution
tn foroe without the assent of Congress, yet they
are recognized as a distinct people—a body-politic
—by the law organizing them, aud ought to have
seif-government; they ought to be allowed to
manage their own affairs to suit themselves. While
all other property is dependent on the Territorial
legislature for i retention, i hold that slave property
must look to the same authority for it. protection.’’
1 have compared also the speech of Mr. Douglah of
the 23d Feb., 1859, with the four reasons given by
Mr. lltll why Douglas aud his doctrine was unsafe for
the buuth and country ; and say to tbe edi or of
the Constitutionalist, he knew Mr. Hill did not,
either wilfully or ignorantly, misrepresent Doug
las but, like a candid aud honest man, told the
truth from the record of his country. Ignorant!
Benjamin H. Hill ignorant! and the editor of tbe
Constitutionalist im klligknt and never misrepre
sents! What did the Constitutionalist do in 1848 ?
In denounced tbe Squatter Sovereign doctrine in
Gen. Cass’ Nicholson letter, aud supported him for
President.
In 1855 the Constitutionalist denounced Squatter
Sovereignty, and yet it warmly then and does now,
support and deteud the man who fastened it upou
tbe South—Stephen A. Douglas! Yea! it is de
fending and bolding up to the people of the Sou h
as their friend, a man who bus from 1845 to 1859
labored to crush out the very life blood of her
property in slaves in the Territories. A man, who
lo late as tl e 23d February, 1859, said iu the Sen
ate of the Gutted Slates, “it is not to bs denied
ttiat taxation regulation maybe so exercised by the
Territorial 4<egislature, as very nearly to destroy it
—that is, rlavery.” The Constitutionalist says, that
Douglas says you have as much right to carry
your slaves iu the Territories, as any other
property, but that it must, like all property, de
pend upou the Territorial Legislature for protection.
Why doea Mr. Douglas say slavery iu the territories
must rely on the same authority (Territorial Legis
lation) tor protection as all other property 1 Mr.
Douglas knows in the territories there is no preju
dice against any other kind of property. Slavery,
he knows, is not oomtuou to all the States. Tbe
horse, the oow, A.0., is oommon to all tbe States. —
Hence, there is no prejudice against the oow aud
borse iu the territories. Mr. Douglas under the
power to regulate., claims for the Territorial Legisla
ture tbe exercise of the right to tax the Southern
mao’s slave so bigh as to amount to prohibition aud
exclusion from tne territories. The Wilmot Pro
visoist claims the right to exclude slavery by
Congress from the Territories, under the jiowcr
to regulate. What Me. Douglas and hts fol
lowers deny to Congress, they claim for tbe
Territorial Legislature, to wit:’ the Wilmot Pro
viso. For what difference does it make to the
South, whether she is excluded by the par.ag'o of
tbe Wilmot Proviso by Congress, or the Territorial
legislature? Juoge Douglas claims the exercise
ot a right for the Territcrial Legislature, under the
idea and power to regulate -, that Congress oan
neither exercise, deingaue, and aught not to permit.
You will percieve I have gone Back to 1850, to
know the principles Douglas then defended. I did
it too, because he said in fils speech u3ij February,
1859, “ / defend the same doctrine of inherent right
Os thepeople of the Territory tor self government,
l did m 1850, 1851, and in 1856.” J have shown it

mb. y. ■MTOU: —The Editor of the Constitutional- I
:it found laujt with Col. Wright on account of his
denunoiation of M>. /Jouglas and the Kansas Bill
in his speech at Loulsvihe,j;u t-j“ “and of August. —
The Editor is a Douglas man, and iuotoioro, a little
tender OR tiflt point. But upon what gronndt did
Col. Wright deadlines Mr. Douglas? Why ! that
tbe latter in his place in the Senate of the United
States on tie 23d of February, Js>9, declared that
the Territories fould, by unfriendly legislation.
under thr power to regulate and tax, exercise uv
right to destroy, abolish, Pf eyclude slavery there
from They could tax slave property eo high as to
.amount to a prohibitier. What Black Republican
docn.'ine is worse ?
>t is trie Mr. Douglas admits that the people of
the South have w .much right to oatry their proper
ty to the Territories pt the people of the North
ana there is the deceit, ty ivle he admits tnie he
destroys Hi practical benefit to tfle Sooth, by saying
that it is only e*.fltW tfi the tame source of pro tec
lion—Territorial legislation. Now if he contends
that Territorial legislation tang prohibit or abolish
slavery, is it not amere farce tosaytiefi - .. rner
with bis slave has an equal chance f I. i-j mere
mockery to us. And yet such is the j octicai
working of this Kausas Bill and its principles, which
the Democratic leaders told the Sooth two or three
years ago.yas our salvation.
Now, if I understand Col. Wright's position, it is
this: That the people of Jhe United States have
the same equal right to seittie in the Territories with
their property, of every descriptor, and to be there
protected in the enjoyment of the same, net by
Territorial legislation, but by the laws of the United
States, tUI such time as said Territory shall become
a Stale. The legislature of a Territory is the crea
ture of Congreee—Congress exists under the Con
stitution. and the Constitution recognizes and pro
tects African slavery. It protects the citizen of the
United States in peoseasic-n of an African slave as
p'operty Therefore, any unfriendly legislation
by a Territory, against slavery, a* Mr. Douglas
contends for, is not only unconstitutional, but at
variance with the decision* of the Supreme Court.
Col- Wright, therefore, occupies hue only true
and just conetitntion&l ground, acd that is the very
antipode ot Mr. Douglas. Douglas’ doctrine, (as
Mr.’Wise lately said of it in along-to-be-remem
bered letter j “u< a short cut to all the ends of Black
Republicanism And we find the Editor of the
Conshlutionatist traveling it very fast. His party
have lost Kansas to the Sou lb by its treesoil pro.
ciivities.
But this is not ati. Tbe Editor in his oikW zeal
for this worst of freeeoilers, iStephen A. Douglas,)
overlooked the ‘act that Col Wright is sustained in ‘
hie position by xe Southern Democratic Senatore.
Let tiin refer to tbe speech ot Mr. Deugias on the
23d February. 1859, (Cong. Globe, ISSS-'59, page
1244, fto.J aud to the convertahunal debate that
occurred at that time, acd he wiil find that Davis

and hie doctrines, just as Coi, Wright has, and for
the seme reasons I Will the Editcs of the Consti
tuttouahs! deny it I Wiil he dare pubhsh the rea
sons given by Southern Democratic Senators for
their repudiation of Douglas and hie abominable
doctrines ot Squatter Sovereignty and Territorial
legislation ? Douglas is the father of the Kansas
swind.e—and by that, and the principles in it, prac
tically worked oat. the South has lost hex equality.
The Democratic party is responsible for the whole.
Tbe Editor of the Cot.si nationalist makes an
appeal to the people of the Eighth District, by ask
ing—“ Will the people of the Eighth District tole
rate a repudiation of the Kansae-Nebraaka act ?
acd endorse the opinion of Col. Wright that it is a
cheat and a swindle upon the South?” How can
the facts be denied that the principlee of the K&n
sas-Nebraska Bill are a cheat and a swindle! It is
either so, or the Democratic leaders have lied and
deceived ns. For we have surely lost Kansas, and
on the same principles and doctrines we will loee
every Territory in the Union. Texas, glorious
Texas ! has been the first State to repudiate the
doctrine, ham. Houston voted against it in the
Senate She at first repudiated him for it, bat when
the practical working of the swindle was seen, she
repudiated that, and sustained Houston I And the
people of the Eighth District will sustain Colonel
Wnght, and repudiate the Douglas Democracy, or
I &m very much mistaken. ,
If the Constitutionalist holds with the fcupreme
Court that “Squatter Sovereignty” is a “constitu
tional impossibility,” bow, in the uams of common
sense, can it reconcile iteed to support Douglas >
A party or a press which evinces each a marked
denciency in reepect for principlee, ahouid excite
the suspicion ot the people. The uphokung of
Martin Vanßuren by the Democratic party in 1840
was a most audacious and insulting thing to the
South; but the endeavor to saddle Douglas upon
us, as a sound man, is tbe most consummately impu
dent political dodge of the day.

(to call them by no harsher name.) contained in tbe
paper alluded to, is an importation from Vermont.
Whether he quit his country “for his country’s
good,” I will not undertake to say, because it is
barely possible that be is as generous of impulse, &s
libera, in sentiment, and pure of heart, as most of
the people of his native State; bat if so, I must be
permitted to entertain the opinion that they are
monstrosities which, while they probably uo not
degrade, most surely humble civilization.
Yet, even “V.” seems to have got into decent
company once ; whether that unusual circumstance
confusea his mind and confounded his facts, 1 do
not know. At all events, be writes as if he had
heard Dr. Miller's speech in the Opposition Con
vention. W T as “V.” present on that occasion ? If
he were not, it may be ho has written from “false
facts” furnished by another ; if he were present,
then I positively axeert that he baa manufactured
‘false factß.” Iu either event, a “decent regard”
for truth and justice should leach him to be a it.tie
cartful in his statements, especially when his objec
ts to injure, if not defame, a uiau whom it were
improper to mention iu the foul atmosphere ot a ma
lignant Vermont sub editor.
I will give a sample of tbe creature s mistakes ;
he says Dr. Miller “instanced that he (Col. Akin)
had been mainly instrumental in raising fIO.OUO for
Cassviile Male Coliege. *’ Bat the truth is, that
Dr. Miller made no allusion whatever to “Cassvilie
Male College” in conneciirn with the name of Col.
Akin (l suppose that“V.” meant by “Cassviile
Male College” the Cherokee Baptist College. Per
haps “V.” dislikes tne name of “Cherokee Bsp'ist
Collegebut 1 trust tbe name will not be chang
ed to gratify bis fastidious taste)
This question occurs to me, (excuse my plainness
I want to be understood by “V.;”) did “V.” lie
spontaneously, or did he falsify on the authority of
an ther ? Was the falsehood an “internal sugges
tion,” or was it suggested by the heat of party
malignity? For tbe present, I will entertam the
hope that he aid not get his facts from the same
authority which furnished the information for the
latter part of hie article.
The creature also Bays : “We learn that he (Col
Akin) gave only SSOO, end an agent is now in the
field trying to make up SIO,OOO, and has as yet got
ten only about $600.” Surely here is another mis
take, for I am “informed” that on the day Col. xvktn
made hia appeal for the endowment, aud contributed
(according to “V”) SSOO, Col Lewis Tumlin, of Cass
county, gave the eum of $1,000; how much has
been “raised” I do not know, nor is it important to
the matter in hand. Having mentioned Col. Tum
ble's came, I fear 1 have done him an injury, but I
treet the occasion will not be improved by “V” or
his master to suggest reasons tor Col. Tumlin’s
contribution Su.e am I that the unsophisticated
the ucregenerate heart of the genuine Yankee
would naturally be fertile in reasons which would
be a disgrace aud a shame to a generous Southern
er But to be economitts of truth, and prodigals in
detraction is tbe natnre of some. Who does not
despise the man who could extract selfishness from
suou donations as those of Cole. Akin and Tnmlm
aud others? If such be the nature of “V.” I beg
that the creature be not allowed to judge a gentle
man by birr self. Such a standard is not recognised
by the noble or the generous, but is erected only
by the cold, hard, sedieh and calculating spirit ot
unadulterated Y'ankeeism ; —by it, let only such be
judged.
Let us have another extract from “V.” : “ 11> do
not charge it, but Mr. Akin’s couise may be easily
explained upon the principle ot selfishness “Do
not charge it” indeed ! Infamous suggestion !
“Do not charge it” indeed! No! you omy unveil
the detestable motives which alone could induce
you to seem to do a generous act or bestow a noble
charity. Yet that were unnecessary; no one would
ever suspect you. of rising above the lowest instincts
of a groveliDg nature. Your soul has never felt
the faintest emotion of generosity.
“Do not charge it’’ indeed! No ; you only in
sinuate as base and wicked and detestable a false
hood as could be conceived by the vilest creature
that defiles God s earth.
But again : “Mr. Miller stated that as a lawyer,
Warren Akin had no superior in Georgia.” Dr.
Miller did not make that statement. Here is the
substance and almost the words which Dr. Miller
used: “In the conflicts at the bar, no lawyer wield
ed a sharper sword, or dealt a sturdier blow.’’ Does
“V.” give ns his own estimate of Col. Akin’s ability
as a lawyer or the estimate of his master? “V.”
Bays Cd. Akin “has gouged the State ltoad for
lawyer’s fees.” What are the facts 7 Col. Akin has
been counsel for the road from the time it was ru-vde
liable to suit, in almost every case brought againsh
it, to the close of Gov. Johnson’s administration.
Perhaps at some time during the admistrat’on of
Gov. Johnson it “was deemed advisable” to
dispense with his services—for whose benefit and
at whose instance I do not knew. At all events,
when nearly all the cases, in which Col. Akin had
been retained, were disposed of, he presented his
bill to Gov. Brown. That bill had been examined,
and its reasonableness certified to by John P.
Alexander, William H. Dabney aud John W. H-
Underwood, Eaqs. These gentlemen were practic
ing in the same Courts and in the name circuit with
Col. Akin, aud were familiar withjtbe services ren
dered by Col. Akin. The character of Alexander
aud Dabney, no gentleman will question, aud I
suppose “V.” can have nothing to say agaiust Col.
Underwood, whose name the Intelligencer haa at
its mast-head for Congress.
Gov. Brown wanted a deduction made from Col.
Akia’s bill, to which the latter would not agree. It
was finally agreed between them that Col. Akin's
bili should lie paid, and that Col. Akin should attend
to the case of Kinney vs. the Boad to its end in
Cast Superior Court. Col. Akin did attend to that
case to its end in Cass Superior Court; with what
zeal and ability, ask Judge Wright or Col. Hhropohjre,
who were counsel for Kinney. When the verdict
and judgment were bad against the State —Col.
Akin told Col. Chastain, the Attorney for the Bead,
that the judgment was wroDg and could be revers
ed. And tbe teason why Col. Akin did not carry
the case to the Supreme Court, was because he and
Col. C. did not agree as to the fee for carrying it
up.
The ca“e was carried up and reversed ; whether
Col. Walkor charged more or less than Col. A.
asked for carrying the cause to the Supreme Court,
Ido not know. I presume he will expect some
compensation for his services. The case is (or will
be) again in Case Superior Court; and there Col.
Akin will doubtless be fouud able and willing to
stand to bis agreement in its utmost extent. I here
assert that ft was never understood, or agreed that
Col. Akin would do more than a’tend to the case in
Cass Superior Court. And if “V.” means to inti
mate that Cols. Alexander, Dabney and Under
wood.certified to the rgasonableiess of Col. Akin’s
fees, or to use “V.’s” language, that they “were not
too large,” when in fact they were “exorbitant,”
he intimates a falsehood, which no gentleman who
kuowa the men will believe. But that eub editor
says that Col. Akin “instead of fulfilling his contract
with the State, prefers to ignore it.” Now, Ido not
undertake to say who personally eomuniuieated this
and other untrue facts to “Y ” I know from the
article itself (if not other wise ,) who must hav9 start
ed tbe game , and am irady to admit that the facts
may have been innocently perverted in transmission
to “V.” (whether communicated personally Irom
the highest source or through some medium ) But
this I say, thatlthe facts as given,by “V.” are false,
and Lbs* ,Cov. Brown will not endorse them. Gov.
B will not say Dl£t Col. Akin has departed from
his contract. There i. yog pot t'-.e man who can say
that Col. Akin ever knowl'ngly Vulaicd his con
tract or forfeited his word. tusoit^N,

Frightful Tea:edy at St. Loci s.—Aßurglar
Cut to Piece* .'—A fUfifivt house on the levee, at
St. Louis, having been lately frequently entered by
burglars, the barkeeper, nymed John Davis, armed
himself with a revolver and bowie knife on Monday
night, with the view of keeping watch. The Morn
ing Herald euyo
Between 12 and I O'ciQik be was awakened by
hearing someone enter throegn a await window in
the rear. There was no light in the bar-room, and
after demanding of his visitant who be was and
what he warned, he fired at him one charge of his
revolver, winch, strangely enough, was loaded with
powder only. The toad took effect in the right
shoulder, setting the fellow's olot.fi- on fire, but of
oourse inflicting no injury upon the burglar s person.
At this moment the burglar whose nameyubsequent
ly proved to be Nicholas Watkins, mace an attack
upon Davis with p pocket knife, which Davis suc
ceeded in wrenching from him, not, however, until
he was severely injured by haring the open knife
drawn through his hand. Davie, terribly frightened,
and with a full comprehension of his own great
danger, n attack upon his violent and unseen
assafiant, which a w.thont a parallel in the most
bloody rencounter of which we hare ever heard.—
With one blow of his bowie kniie—a new. sharp
and most murderous weapoD, with a blade seven
inches in length—he stabbed Watkins to the heart,
the ifniff severing one or two ribs and passing
througu the heart and lungs. The blow was quick
ly followed by eighteen or twenty others, some six
teen or more* of which, it was found on the post
mortem examination, were necessarily mortal.
In the meantime Davis was lustily calling for the
watch. Officers John Ryan, Hugh Logue and
Daniel Pollard, of the night police, happened to be
in the immediate neighborhood, rapped at the door,
and were admitted by Davis, who was in the act of
lighting the gas. WatkS* was found in the c-ther
room dying. He lived bnt a few seconds after the
entrance of the officers. In the rear of the premises
were found his bat and sboee, which bad evidently
been removed for the purpose of enabling him to
operate more noiseiseaiy and safely.
It was shown at the inquest that the deceased
was a native of Maryland, and about forty years
of age. He was formerly a steward on a boat on
the Chesapeake and Ohio canal ; afterwards en
tarea the army and was sent to Florida. Last
March he was sent to Fort Leavenworth, and was
there tried for a homicide. He was, however, ac
quitted. on the ground that the act was done in self
defence. Davis has given himaelf up, but will no
doubt be discharged
Money Well Expended.— Within five years,
in Indiana, there have been erected 5,700 echool
housee, at the expense of eleven hundred thousand
dollars.

Messrs. Wrigbt and Jones at Elberton.
KLBtRTof., Ang. 26. 1869.
Me. Editor:—^ The canvass was opened here
y esterday by the two candidates for Congressional
honors. Borne four to five hnudred of the citi
zens of this and tbe adjoining counties aseem
bledjo hear them. According to announcement
from the stand. Col. Wright opened in a speech of
an hoar and a half. Mr. Jones following in a speech
of two hours, Col. W. closing in a speech of thirty
minutes. They were listened to with marked at
tention throughout.
Col. Wright commenced by reviewing the present
condition of parties, both with regard to local and
Deltona! politics , passing in review the acts of the
present Administration from tbe time it came into
power down to the present day. His exposure of
its imbeciii'y and corruption must have at least
opened the eyes of some of bis Democratic hearers
to the very great deparure of Mr. Buchanan from
the principles which were laid down by the party
which placed him in power, for his guidance.
He reviewed Buchanan e action in regard to the
disposition of the cargo of “ohat’eis” seized on
board the Echo, and demanded a reason for this
new “Elurationa 1 Project” of the Admislratioc
Hie remarks upon this point were received with a
degree ot applause that clearly indicated that while
the citizeue of this section of the State were not
opposed to our local Educational institutions, they
were decidedly opposed to this “new policy” of
establishing free Boarding Schools apon the shores
of Africa.
Col W. ala-/ charged upon the Administration
reckless expenditures of tbe public money, aud
showed clearly, from comparative statements, tha’
in a time of prefonnd pesce, the expenditures of
the Government largely exceeded those of any
former Adminstration, while our Treasury is now
bankrupt, maDy of our mails suspended or entirely
discontinued, and other important mails were car
ried by parties on tbe faith of Government promises
to pay at same day in tbe future. In this connec
tion Col W. stated that a mail contractor in his
own county, (a poor man who had bought a horse
on a credit for tbe purpose of carrying the mail)
had applied for the quarter's pay due him ; the
reply from the Poet Office Department was thßt
owing to the failure of Congress to pass the appro
priation bill they could not then settle, and hoped
this would be satisfactory. Will it satisfy the
Sheriff when he makes a levy ?
Col. W. also unmasked the innumerable abuses
which had been practiced apon the South in the
unjust discrimination against us in the improve
meats by the Government of Kivere and Harbors
at the North, the erection of Custom Houses. Light
Ileuses, improving and strengthening their fortifi
cations, while our own rivers remained as they
always bad been, unimproved, and tbe rnoath of
our principal river inaccessible to vessels of any
considerable size. Our fortifications, if they may
be dignified by that term, are allowed to go to
decay. Appropriations, il made for improvements
on our coast, or in our cities, are allowed to remain
unapplied till some favorite objects in another sec
tion of our country are accomplished. This matter
merits tbe calm consideration of every thinking
man. We who pay about two thirds of the revenue of
Government must wait the convenience of govern
ment officials before apiropriations alreaay made
can be applied to the purposes for which they were
intended Many other charges were made by Col.
Wright, which I have not time to notice.
ln conclneicn, he asked thegentleinan who would
follow him to answer distinctly the charges he bad
made against the Administration and against the
Democratic party, and to state his position with
reterence to Mr. Bnchanan and his acts.
Mr. Jones then took the stand, and commenced by
stating that ho appeared before them as the candi
date of the Democratic party of the 8:h Congres
sional District lor a seat in Congress. With this
party he had uniformly acted, and still oliugiug to
the time-honored principles of that party, be ap
peared before them soliciting their sutl'rages. He
then took up the schedule laid down by Col. W ,
and while he did notice all the points indicated by
him, he satisfied himself by disposing of them in a
manner equally summary and unsatiefatory. In
regard to the course taken with the Echo’s cargo,
he simply placed the statement of Mr. Cobb against
that of Col W , and asked his audience who ought
to know best. He Beemed entirely to overlook tbe
fact that Mr. Buchanan’s Mesrage, asking the ap
propriation, was proof conclusive of the correctness
of Col. Wrigbt’s position. Other points be touched
very lightly Some acts of Mr. Bucfcauan’s he did
not approve, nor did be consider the Democratic
party at all responsible for them. They were a de
parture from the Democratic Creed, aud when he
thus departed, the responsibility ceased—a very
convenient position to occupy, and a very good
dodge to evade issues in a political canvass. Having
thus attempted to answer Col. Wright's arguments,
he commenced his speeoh proper, and while it may
have tickled tbe ears of some of the Democrats
presont to hear a pan* gyric pronounced upon the
party of which they are members, it failed signally
in producing the desired rffect, in my opinion. Hu
closed by resuscitating from the grave which he
claims his party made for it, the thing called “Sam,”
and held it up with all its former horrid aepeota glow
ingly depicted ; warned the people to beware of
“Sam,” (whom they auk credit for killing long
ago,) and cautioned them ’o.beware of “Hideous
Oaths,” “Grips,” “Signs,” &c., bic.
Col. W. now came to reply and conclude the
speaking, and though ordinarily but little can be
said in half afi*bour, the tims m this case was filled
to the beet possible advantage, and tbe entire satis
faction of Col. W.’s friends. Keviewing Mr. Jones’
answers to the questions ashed him, he Bhowed
that in one case ne had misstated figuree, and in
others had either evaded inveetigation, or satisfied
himself by simply placing the opinions of others
against those of Col. W. He closed by appealing
to all men of all parties, calmly and dispassionately
to examine tbe questions at issue, and decide be
tween them.
I have thus endeavored to give you a brief out-,
line of this discussion ; and if the disparity between
the two men is as apparent elsewhere as at this
meeting, it requires no prophet to tell who will
represent the 8:h District in the next Congress.

Why Democrats will Support Col. Akfu.
M it. Editor:—The question is very frequently
asked of Democrats, Why do you support Col.
Akin for Governor 1
Living in Cherokee Georgia-, ns I do, and having
known Gov. Brown .and Col. Akin personally for
ten years, I propose to answer that question lor
myself, and many other Democrats in this region
who will meet cordially vote for Col. Akin.
Because there is no political principle involved in
the contest whatever, that can in any wise separate
Democrats end their opponents off irmer years ;
there is then no violation of party principle.
Because the election of Gov. Brown would only
be a Brown triumph, and not a victory of Demo
cracy.
ffecause Gov. Brown’s stale policy has been
unwise, unsafe, and unstatesmanlike.
Because Gov. Brown’s position relative to banks,
if carried out, would bankrupt the State—make the
little substance of the poorer classes an easy prey
to a tew fortunate money holders, and t educe them
to starvation or serious want.
Because Col. Akin is a sounder aud more reliable
man, upon the State Eights dootrine than G ov.
Brown.
Because Gov. Brown refused to call a conven
tion in obedience to tbe will of the Legislature
expressed, after having taken an oath “faithfully to
execute tbe laws.”
Because Gov Btowd has not managed the Slate
Road in a manner to make it pay as much money
as he eaid he would make it pay—as much money
as it eftight to pay ; or as much money as Governor
Johnson, his predecessor, made it pay—while he
has fraudulently and falsely represented to the
people, with intent to deceive them, that the Road
was now making several thousand dollars per mouth
mote than it had ever done before.
fiecauee Gov. Brown’s recommendation, relative
to appropriations for Colleges aud Common Schools,
was a demagoguical flourish—calculated to equan
der the people’s money aud humbug the poorer
classes to catch their support.
Because Gov. Brown's vetoes exhibit him as he
is —a senseless statesman ; and a heartless one, as
evidenced by his veto of the bill for the relief of
the poop widow and bgrerphan children in Augusta.
Because Gov. Brown appointed H. H. Waters
Secretary in the Executive Department, after hav
ing Refused to give him & certificate of good moral
oharaoter, that he might obtain license to praclioe
law in the Supreme Court—alter implicating said
Waters inis very unfortunate transaction in con
neolion with a mutilation of the records of the Court
of Ordinary of Cherokee county, to the satisfaction
of a epecialjury es Caes county, in a suit wherein
said Waters was a party at interest, and Governor
Brown his opposing counsel. With thisknowledge,
cud with the testimony of the whole country, that
3aid Wafer- tras a scoundrel, and unworthy the
confidence oi any fi-meer man, he appoints him to
an office near Ins person, (bus regurqiug him a fit
companion. - ‘■
Because Gov. Brown has been guilty of political
porrnption, bargain aod intrigue to secure a re
eteotibn
because Gov. B.own has permitted Dr. Lewis
his superintendent of tirn fltate Road, to ship
his own pig iron—he being a large manufacturer of
that article—from Cartersville to Chattanooga, 8
miles, for $1.35 per ton, while at the same time he
charged others from Kingston to Chattanooga, 78
miles. $3.25 per ton.
Because Gov. Brown is & small man even among
sffiilmen I have known him well for ten years,
and 1 assert tu ail that time he has not done one
noble disinterested act. U.. whple soul has always
been absorbed with seif, acd ati nis uoufijet gov
erned by selfishness. And often has he compro
mised his character for honor and veracity to for
ward personal ends.
B-ra se I have been intimately acquainted with
Cot. Aku- for ten years, and know him. as do thou
sands in C'heroaes Gp ,tobe a whole souled, gene
rous Christian gentleman, pst^efnipg abilities as a
lawyer and financier, second to no man in to iiiate,
one who in all hie acts and conduct is governed by
noble impulses. A man who has never stooped to ,
do a mean thing to secure promotion or for gain ,
one who as Governor would do honor to Georgia,
hip native State, and who would stand unflinchingly
by her in the hour of trial, u triat come.
For these reasons, acd others that might be
given, am I opposed to the re-election of Governor
Brown.
1 have been a Democrat for eighteen years, and
in all that time the Democracy never have presented
a candidate for my suffrage that in my opinion was
; o unworthy of it as Gov. Brown. ■ I am no disap
pointed o£ce seeker—never asked for, nor held a
political office in &17 life, and never expect to
These are only the reasons 01 • p hjxu voter in the
ranks of the democracy ; and they are the reasons
which will induce thousands of Democrats in Chero
kee Ga. to cast their votes on the Ist Monday in
October next for Col Warren Akin of Case.

Mr. Toombs at Lexington—An*. 20, utSit,
Mr. Editor :—Senator Toombs delivered a speech
here to-day upon the “past, present and future” pol
itics of the csimtry, glorifying himself in the tortu
ous course of has political acts in the past, with his
usual boldness and tmbrashing effrontery —torching
np his colleague, Senator Iverson, with jost some
ot the hardest sort of cracks with his whip, and
endeavoring to foreshadow the coming event of
Douglas’ nomination at Charleston, with bis advance
tender of support, in preference, mark you, to Fill
more, Crittenden, Beil, or any other man of the
Opposition I The speech wiil be pnblished, and
then you will esx for yourself what a war it wiil
raise in Georgia between the two Senators. It is
evidently designed as an antidote to Iverson poison,
or rather a preconcerted plan of attack upon
Iverson to defeat him lor the Benate this winter.
Let the i udge make a note of this, and prepare for
his burial. There can fie no question of the fact,
that a change wiil be made, if the anti-Iverson
Democrats “can make the trip,” and from this
speech and other signs of the times, the war will be
“to the knife, and the knife to the hilt.” W e can
behold, with the utmost indifference, this fratnn■
dal,Mv, hoping only that a Kilkenny end will be
viewed at i>s cloee.
Masers. Wright and Jones were here, bnt did not
speak. Avery large crowd was at the stand, a good
part of them of the female sex, which I liked to
see . bnt there was a restlessness al! the time of the
speech, with some faint applause occasionally, and
a fight as a variation to tbe performance.
After the speech, a barbecue, said to be a good
one, tea I did not see it I can’t say) was attacked
and demolished in doable quick time, and no doubt,
“more of the same sort” of comestibles could have
been destroyed. A good deal of “Tennessee Tan
glefoot’ was destroyed in the village, and more
drunk folks than I have seen in some time. No
other uietarbanoee of the peace occurred, save the
ooe mentioned above. Roderick Dhu

We were agrees!; ysn pr- ed to see so large a
meeting a’ T- mper-uce Ha ! on Friday, 1•> hear
tbe speech cl L’oi. Warren Akin, tbe Opposition
candidate for Governor. Tbe Hal’ was well Stieri.
and the speaker was very favorably received by
an interested audience
We shall not attampt to report even the Lading
positions of Col. Akin s spttch Suffice it to ;ay
that it was earnest, practical, strong and pointed.
He took high gro ud in favor of the rights of the
South in the Uuioc—repudiated Douvia- and Li -
unfriendly legislation,” and insisted on the consti
tutional right ot Southern citizens in ihe Territo
ries to protection fer their 6lave property. He
ridiculed with telling effect the Cincinnati platform,
with Doug'as at oneeudai.fi Vsn Buren at the
other, and Gov Brown in tbe centre.
Coming to State affairs. Col. Akin demonstrated
by lac’s and figures tee gross humbug by which
Gov. Brown and his par i-acs have made it to
appear that the State Koaa under his management
has been a prosperous and paying concern. He
proved tbat under Gov. Johnson it not only did a
larger gross business, but tbat the profits were
larger ; that the only thing tbat made the apparent
difference in Brown's favor was the application ot
the profits—Jolmsou expending ihem to equip and
maintain the Road, and Brown, finding these suffi
cient or neglecting them, paying the net proceeds
into the State Treasury. This he proved to demon
stration.
He showed up the unfaii ness and partiality of
Gcv Brown s Educational project, and advocated
a system more libera!, equal aud wide spread in its
benefits. Particularly did he object to the partial
sectarianism of the prrject, by which many thou
sands of Christians in tae State would have
been debarred from a participation in the
bounty of the State, or have been compelled
to accept it through the medium of colleges
not of their denimination, while other sects erj .iyed
favors which they did not We made this objection
last winter to Gov. Brown’s system, and are pleased
to know that so sound and sensible a man as Col.
Afciu views it m the same light.
Col. Akin closed his speech with an objection to
Gov. Brown, which, he said, was first brought to

tor the unfortunate poor. A poor woman, deeerted
in Augusta by ter husband, and left with a family
of children lo support, applied to the Legislature
for relief by an act exempting her hard earnings
from the ciutches of her husband's creditors. The
Legislature readily passed the biff, but Governor
Brown vetoed it!
Col. Akin s manner of speaking is forcible and
vigorous. Everybody ssee that he is an earnest,
candid, patriotic mat:—a man of the people, know

very tine impression wherever he goes, and the
strongest proof of his worth U the enthusiastic sup

It is no party question up there, but Democrats
and Oppositionists alike gather around the standard
which he has raised. We are rejoiced now to

Col. Akin ns Attorney for the State Rond—
-1 nttrestiotj i'errespoudeace on the Subject.
Atlanta, August 19th, 1859.
Col. James E. Cooper, Marietta —Dear Sir:—
Gov. Brown has been in this city since Thursday
night, and, I ltarn, busy in trumping up charges of
peculation agamet Col. Akin. The money paid
him for legal services rendered the State, in behalf
of the Western & Atlantic! Railroad, is to be tbe
foundation of these charges, and tbe intelligencer
of to morrow wiil contain tbe first of the articles—
prepared under Governor Brown's eye —to sustain
them. Believing that, however widely you may
differ with Col. Akin in political sentiment, you
will not withhold the expression of an opinion that
may be favorable to him, I beg that you will favor
me with answers (with permission to use them pub
licly, if deemed necceEsary) to the following ques
tions :
1. How long was Col. Akin in the service of the
Road as its Attorney 7
2. Upon whom, in Cherokee Georgia, during
your term of office, did you rnoet rely in litigated
cases in which the interests of the Road were in
volved ?
3. Wbo, of the Attorneys employed by the Road,
was most attentive to the interests ot the Road
and most reliable in his business engagements with
it ?
4. If Col. Wright was entitled so $3,000 for ser
vices rendered the Road—and which amount was
allowed him by Gov. Btown, without objection—do
you thiDk Cos!. Akin was also entitled to the amount
claimed by him for legal services ?
Very respectfully, E. N. Calhoun.
Marietta, August 23, 1859.
Dear Sir : I cheerfully rr ply to your inquiries
concerning the services of Col. Akin os Attorney
for the State Road.
1. When I took charge of the Slate Road, Col.
Akin was its Attorney in all caees in the Cherokee
Circuit. Ido not know how long he had served in
that capacity. He continued to represent the
Road in tbe old eases, and was employed in all
suits subsequently instituted, as long as I was left
at liberty to engage bis services
2 and 3. From my acquaintance with Col. Akin,
and from my knowledge of the faithful and able
manner in which he conducted the business, I do
not he eitate to say, that I placed more reliance upon
him than any other Attorney at the Bar. His ad
vocacy of the interests of the Road was always
zealous and untiring, and if it sometimes led him
into collision with men of influence, he did not the
less perseveringly pursue the line of duty.
4. I never saw Cot. Akin’s account against the
Road for professional service E—do not know its
amount Dor the items—but I believe that bis ser
vices were incomparably more valuable than those
of Col. Wright and of all theAltorniesofthe Chero
kee Circuit combined, and if I had been untram
melled by instructions from a superior authority,
and bad not considerations foreign to the welfare of
the Road prevailed, it would have had no other
Attorney in Cherokee, its succcbs before the Courts
would have been greater,'and the amount saved
iu lawyer’s fees would have been very considera
ble. Very respectfully, Your obedient serv’t,
James F. Cooper.

Gen. Houston, Governor Elect ok Texas.—
The election of Gen. Samuel Houston as Governor
of Texas, of whioh he was the first President while
it was an independent nation, suggests a retrospec
tive glance at his history :
His childhood and youth were spent in the Chero
kee country. His first step in public life was
keeping a school in Tenneesee. Next he was e'erk
aud county auditor. In 1813 he enlisted under Gen.
Jackson, am served with him in the Creek war,
was wounded, and made a Lieutenant. Next he
studied law in Nashville, and wa twice elected to
Congress, servmg from 1823 to 1827. He was then
chosen Governor of Tennessee, and, alter entering
upon his third year in that office, resigned ; returned
to tbeCherckeeß in Arkansas, end applied himself
zealously to a defence of their rights, and the as
eertion of their just claim upon tbe United .States
Government. He went to Texas on a visit, and
was elected a member of the Constitutional Con
vention, which met for the purpose of preparing the
State for admission into the Mexic in U ion Santa
Anna rejected the constitution, and Gen. Houston
took the lead in arousing the Texans to arms. He
was elected Commander in-Chief of the Texan
troops, conducted the war vigorously, and brought
it to a successful termination at the battle of San
Jacinto. He was the tirst. President of Texas ; then
a member ofj the Texan Congreee; then President
again. Upon the annexation of Texas, in 1844, be
was elected United States Senator; was twins re
elected ; and in March last, made his fareweil ad
dress to that body, from which he was about to
retire voluntarily. He now took the field as candi
date for Governor of Texas, with the like success
which had attended all bis previous enterprises.
Disastrous Fire at New Bedford— Twenty
Buildings Burned. —A fire broke out about noon
;u North Water street, New Bedford, Mats., which
destroyed about twenty-live buildings, and was
finally arrested ou Kay and North streets b/
blowing up several buildings with gunpowder.
The buildings destroyed included Hathaway Sc
Son’s machine shop and planing mill ; Ryder fc
Smith’s epar yard ; Buratadt’s turning mill’; N. H.
Nye’s ship chandlery; Kdwaid M. Robinson’s oil
yard, in which 3,(100 barrels of oil were destroyed,
besides some lots of oil belonging to W. G. K.
Pope, B. B. Howland and B. B. Kemp. Several
dwellings, carpenter shops aud groceries are also
included in the conflagration.
A large number of bomb lances ou the premises
of Wilcox and Hathaway caused loud explosious,
as did the burning of (he oil casks. The ship John
& Edward, lying at Wilcox &. Richmond’s wharf,
was burned to the water's edge. The ship 1 linoia
was also on fire, but was towed out and saved,
with loss pf sails, rigging, hoc. Several persons
were injured, but pPpk fatally.
The total loss is variously estimated at froiyi
$200,000 to $300,000, on which the insurance i*
small. Many families are rendered penniless by the
conflagration, and several captains of whaling ves
sels are ruined by the loss ot their oil on storage.
Murder by Indians on the Plains.— The San
Francisco Alta Californian contains some particu
lars of the massacre of three Americahs by the In
dians, oc the Plains already briefly mentioned. It
says i
On the 30th April, George Stevenson, a na'lye of
Pittsburg, Pa , David Moore, formerly from Lancas
ter county, Pa., C. M. Us'd, of Cincinnati, aud
Capt. Henry Florence, from Carliele, Pa. Vy’hen
they arrived in the Seetwater valley, Moore fell
eicK, gnd thev camped for a few days about half a
mile from the feed. When tl.ere, thgy noticed some
Indians lurking about, but anticipated no danger.
On the night of the lath ult. they were ah asleep in
their camp, when a party of Indians, having first
stolen their arms, attacked them. Hall was awak
ened by rec riving two balls in his body. Heat
tempted to rise, but found himself unable to do so.
He saw Florence spring up, apparently unhurt, Bnd
find attacked the largest Indian. Hall then tainted,
and remain! a unconscious fjr some time.
When he came to hie senses, he iound that he way
stripped of his clothing, and Florence was in Bight,
tied hand and foot, and the Indians were apparently
holding a council. Soon after that he heard the
tramp of horses, and the Indians and Florence dis
apneared. He remained where he was until morn
ing, pari o; tlfiiO in § swoon and part of the
time conscious. Ha sew timt a s eiyibjng tbjt plight
have been of value to him had been taken jiom the
camp, so he managed in the course of the day to
get to the road, and here he fell dowD and lay for
two days, without food or cover, till the train on
which Mr. Davis was. came along.
He died on the 19th ult, two days after being
found. Mr, Davis’ train spent several days seek
ing for the Indians and for Florence, but found
nothing save a trail leading towards the Crow na
tion. to which the Indians were supposed to belong.
Capt. Florence was a Mason.
Opposition to Judge Love.—We have before
■ge a letter from a strong Democrat, and the writer,
after eomiznauraun* the condition Os a party bo
fallen as to be under ibe necessity of Supporting a
man for Congress who can give uo definition of his
poeition, says :
” In your present position, if you could bring out
a mar—such a man as Bartow, Mclntyre, or Han
sell—your chances of success would be good, in my
opinjop. Judging from all I can learn from the
Distriot, Love wiu not. and cannot, potQmand near
the vote Seward did. I reoeived a letter from
Berrien oounty on Saturday laet, from a thorough
and influential Democrat, in which he aayj, Love
will not get a parly vote in that section. Ido hope
he may be defeated I should feel proud even to
;ee a strong Opposition man elected over him. It
would aaora u<e infinite satisfaction. Could you
not induce Bartow to become a candidate i From
all I learn, he is just the man to beat Love, and, it
he Will run, will do it.”
Wp make the extract to show that there are
many, very many men in the District opposed to
Judge Love, even in his own party. We believe
with the writer of the abpee, tfigi our ohanoi* were
never better in tfie District than al present. If the
Oppoeition Ehonld bring out an influential man as
suggested, Judge Love s election would be exceed
ingly doubtful.— Thomasmlle Enterprise.

Another Death erom Htdrophobia at
Orange, N.J.—A eon of Patrick Agin about
fourteen years of age, was bitten in the cheek, it
was thought, by the same rabid dog that bit young
Murphy, of whose death we gave an account a
sboft time since. The wound in young Agio’s
Cheek was cauterized at the time by Doctor
Vsickei, and it soon healed up ; his friends thought
there was no further danger. The boy subsequent
ly committed a petit larceny, and was confined in
the county jail at Newark.
On Wednesday last he was taken unwell, and it
was soon discovered he had symptoms of hydro
phobia. He was taken home immediately, and the
best medical aid procured. A consultation of all
the male phy.icians of Orange, and some from
Newark, prescribed a course of treatme t with
calomel and opinm. Other remedies were also em
ployed that were suggested by experienced and
skilful members of the faculty in other places, but
the fearful disease bad become ,too deeply fixed in
the system to be eradicated.
Tee bey was able to converse, and partook of
□onrisbment until last evening, between the pa
roxysms, which were undoubtedly greatly allevia
ted by the treatment. He died, after g’eat suffer
ing, at half-past five this morning. This is only
the ftcond case that has terminated fatally in
Orange. The little girl that was bitten more re
cently is said to be doing well—the report of her
death was premature.—A. V. Toil.

To-day, buyers are offering lower figures, but we hear
of no transactions, and consequently cannot give qiota

BREADSTUFFS —There is a slightly improved de

er stiffer prices, but we hear of only limited sales, and
our quotations may be considered nominal, the outside
figures generally prevailing. Corn dull, with sales at
82a>85c. Flour dull, at unchanged prices for both City
and Country Mills. See quotations.
BACON.—There is a fair demand for Bacon, and
prices show a slight improvement. We quote

By Railroad to Savannah 60 cents, aud to Charleston

NEW YORK, Aug. 26. — Stocks —The Money market
is in a satisfactory state. Borrowers can obtain loan.*,
on adequate securities, at 697 per cent; aud leuders
obtain a reasonable return for capital invested. This is
a better state of thing* than in 1858, when capital was
abundant at 4 to 5 per cent., without confidence in
Stocks, Real Estate, or any business in vestments If
the Banks will maintain a consistent line of discounts,
neither enlarging nor contracting suddenly, there will
arise less fluctuation than heretofore iu the market
rate3 of discount. The present Bank rates on loan*,
with an aggregate of 117 millions of dollars, will secure
better dividends than the low rate* when the loans were
1211 millions.
The Stock Market of the week has been quite excited.
The transactions have been Urge in Raiiroad {shares
and in State Bonds. For the latter the cash demand is
steady, but the supply is larger. The eui tailmeut of
Western Bank currency has forced upon the market an
unusual amount of Virginia, Missouri, and Tennessee
Six per Cents., so that they do not partake of the ad
vance which iu observed in the Stock market generally.
There is do foreign demand for State Loans, iu fact,
more sellers than buyers.
There are sales occasionally only of Government Six
per Cents. The price is nominally 107 offered, 108
asked. The Five per Cents, issued this year are offered
in small sums only at 101*91011. A Urge portion of
these issues is taken up for permanent investment, and
will not come upon the market. Ohic and Kentucky
Sixes are steady at quotations. Pennsylvania Five per

TRIBUTE OF RESPECT
TO THE MEMORY OF DR. L. pURHAM, OF CLARKE CO.,
8V ONE OF HIS PUPILS.
OTHe is dead! but he mill lives in the affec*
tions of all who knew him. Georgia has never produced
hia equal, either in reputation, notoriety or usefulness.
His superior skill in medicine, gave him this well merit
ed, but not sought for, fame, for he never puffed him
self in the publio prints and papers of the day, as is usual.
The peculiar art by which he found out disease in the
human system, and the superior compounds by which
he cured so successfully the maladies incident to the
human family, gave him this unbounded and well de
served reputation. His practice had no dig
eased flocked to him daily, not only in Georgia, bat
from the North, the South, the East and the West,
which caused him to accumulate a fortune, not only for
himself and family, but for the poor—the widow aud the
orphan ; and this day thousands mourn the irreparable
loss of Dr. DURHAM. The reading of his obituary, has
caused some to sigh that never sighed, and tears to flow
from eyes that never grieved before, for no one c*n ever
behold him more in this world ; acd the only consola’
tion to his numerous and mourners, is that there
is a Heaven of bliss beyond the grave fer the Benefac
tor, and that his name is enrolled there with the great,
the good, and the perfect.
In conclusion, I must pay a compliment to John Calvin
Johnson for the modest and beautiful obituary of my
honored preceptor, Di L. Durham. All he wrote was
the truth —and the truth was not told.
