of the treaty with China, and that il was the inten

government to fu ly carry out the conditions of tue
treaty, and to invite the Emperor to accede to it.
Lord John Ruaaeil also stated, in re#poo m to
questions, that he bad not received any cdiciai

The nomination of Mr. Charle* lyenuox Whjke as

France — The triumphal entry into Pc.ris of the
army ot Italy took place on the Nth ins t., and pass
ed off with great eclat. The streets wore crowded
to excels, and the decoration and illumination in
the evening were on a grand scale. The Emperor
and his stalT headed the precession along the Boule
vard* from the Hostile to the Place Vendowe, and
were greeted with loud acclamation?. The Empe
ror and the Prince Imperial were stationed at the
Place Vendome, and on arriving there the Emperor
took up a position in front of the Imperial stand,
and the troops marched on. The deployment of
the troops at the Place Vendome commenced at
half past ten, and terminated at half past two. The
soldier* bcarirg tbe stanuards t&k* n from the enemy,
were received with ovations.
The flags of those regiments which were torn by
the enemy’s fire excited tbe population to enthusias
tic clivers. Tbe weather was fine, and the spectacle
imposing, but somewhat monotonous. The Em
peror is said to have been coldly received in Demo
cratic quarters.
Ou Sunday evening a grand banquet was given
by the Emperor to the principal chiefs iu the army.
About three hundred persons were invited.
At the close of the banquet, the Emperor spoke
as follows:
Gentlemen: —The joy 1 experience at findirg
myselt again with most of the chiefs of the army of
Italy, would be complete if it were not tinged with
regrbt, to behold soon the dissolution of the ele
ments of a force so well organised and formidable.
Asa sovereign and as commander in chief, I
thank you agaiu for your confidence. It was flatte
ring to me who had never commanded an army, to
find so much obedience, ou the part of men, who
had great experience in warfare. If success has
crowned our efforts. I am happy to attribute the
greater part of it to those skilful and devoted
Generals, who rendered iny command bo easy, be
cause animated with a sacred ti:e, they have
ueoeasarily given an example of duty, aud ot dis
regard of death.
A portion of our soldiers are about to return to
their homes. You yourselves are about to assume
the occupations of peace ; nevertheless, do not for
get what we have done together ; let the remem
brance of obstacles overcome, of danger eluded, of
imperfection discovered, be ever present to your
minds. In commemoration of the Italian campaign,
1 shall distribute a medal to all who took partin it,
and I wish to day you may be the first to wear it.
May it recall me sometimes to your memory, and
while reading the glorious names engraved thereon,
let each exclaim : “If France has done bo much for
a people who are her friends, what would she not
do tor her owe independence ! ’ I now propose the
health of the army.
Ou account of the fete of the IMh, the Emperor
pardoned eleveu hundred and twenty-seven per
sons sentenced to prisons for various crimes, ofien
ces and infringements of the law, or reduced the
terms of xheir imprisonment.
The M miteur states that the Emperor having
decided on retaining for the present an army ot
.SO,OOO men in Lombardy, several corps which had
much distinguished themselves in tbe late campaign
could not be represented at the entry of the troops.
A local journal states that Liale is to be made the
headquarters of a grand military command, with a
.Marshal of France at its head. It is thought the
projected tortitioation* at Antwerp have had some
thing to do with this measure.
The French harvest appears to be rather better
than expected, but not to good as last year. Wheat
had declined slightly in Paris.
The accounts from the vineyards are for the most
part unfavorable.
The Bourse was closed ou the 15th, owing to t! e
fetes. On tbe lfith business was resumed, and con
siderable fluctuations took place, the rentes finally
closing at fi9t. 5c., being a decline of i on Satur

Austria.—The ministerial crisis is not yet over ;
a combination, with Count Leo Thun at its head,
had met with so many difficulties that its success is
very doubtful.
The Count Clam Martinvet had refused to ac

The steamship Mosee Taylor arrived at New York

California Is uninteresting. Panama advices are

region of the new discoveries. Mr. John Power,
one cf the editors of tbe Panama Star and Herald,

making a personal inspection of the state of affairs
and reporting the result in his paper.

The a booner Joeefa arrived in port on the night
of the iGJii inst., bringing new* from David to the

The reports continue to be of a highly favorable
cbaiacter, and large quantities of gold continue to
be taken out of the graves.
The oarty who went up to Chiriqui in the Joaefa
on tbe 20fh July, for the purpose o; digging, are so
well satisfied that they have concluded to remain
notwithstanding the heavy raiiid which prevail at
this season, and they are now successfully engaged
at the diggings.
Mr. Hawes, who has returned for the purpose of
taking up anoLher stock ot goods, has brought down
a quantity of very splendid specimens. He calcu
lates, after a careful investigation, that he has seen
at least two hundred and litty thousand dollars
worth of these old image* in the houses of poor peo
ple in David, but he thinks there must be a great
deai more he did not see a* they are very *by about

It ia strange that among all the variety of figures
which have been found, there is not one which re
presents either a horse* cow, pig, dog, cat, or any
other domestic ar imal, strong procf that they were

lion of such animal* to this continent.
The country appears iu many places to be cov
ered with grave* for miles, aud it is thought that
there w.li be pleuty ot occupation lor thousands of
people when the dry season sets in, which will.be in
the end of December.
At present it would be unwise for foreigners to
go there, as they w'ould in all probability get fever
From exposure to the rains, and they could make lit
tle progress iu prospecting, owing to the swollen
state of the streams. We would therefore recom
mend persons in the United Slates, who contem
plate seeking a fortune in Chiriqui, to remain at
home untii December, or early in January, when
they will have several mouths of dry weather be
fore they can be traversed without any difficulty.
We learn that the Prefect extended every hospi
tality to the foreigners visiting David, aud has al
lowed tl em free use of his lands to dig on.
W r e have been examining the grant of laud be
longing to the Chiriqui Real Estate Company,
obiained a few year* ago for colonization purpO'es
from the Legislature of Chiriqui, nnd the immi
grants are prospecting with considerable success in
that direction.
We would suggest to the Company that their
long neglected grant is worth looki< g alter, as
aside lrom its richness in cocoanut tree*, coal
beds aud other valuable products, large tracts of
these Indian huacas undoubtedly exist there, and
the impression is that the long lost mines of
Estrella w ill be found, if not on, at any rate in the
immediate vicinity of their property.
The province of Chiriqui is one of the most
healthy and beautiful districts of New Granada,
and the temperature is so cool that blankets are
required at nights, and now that w r e have received
satisfactory confirmation of the reports already
published, it wili be by no means astonishing to
see a rush there as soon as the rains cease.
Provisions are reported as being both cheap and
abundant, without any prospect of a rise, as the
countiy abounds in rice, c orn, cattle, &c., &c.
Since the foregoing was put in print we have
seen a quantity of the earthenware curiosities
brought Irom Chiriqui by Mr. Hawes.
They consist of water jar*, cooking pots, images
of moil and women, &e., ail of beautiful workman
ship, and many of them painted with strange devi
ces. Among the rest id a large atone for grinding
maize •, it is carved in the shapa of a tiger and is a
rare specimen.
The entire lot would be highly prized either in
the States or Europe, and it is 4 > bo Loped that be
fore long some light may bo thrown on the history of
the strange race of people to whom these antiquities
belonged, for a3 yet even the age in which they
lived appears to be veiled in mystery.
Annexed is an extract from a letter from Mr. J.
Hawes, one of the adventurers. It is dated at Da

There h&s been a much larger amount of gold
taken irem the “LuaCAo’ ; thau any one in Panama
has an idea of.
Some lew white people have been into the dig
ging*, but moet of the gold dug up to this time has
been taken out by the Indians and sold for its
weight in pluta. The Indians have found much
richer “biaoas ’ than any known by the whites.
I do not think that any American should expect
to do much untii the dry season, aud theu I think
twenty thousand men can take out fortunes in a
short time Nearly every grave has more or less
gold in it, and as there are many thousand* of these
graves or “hu&cas ’ all over ihe country, nothing
is wanting but labor to bring the gold out. The
images are found irom two to four feet below the
pottery, and the latter is found some four feet be
low the surface. No bones are found in the graves,
aud only small traces of human hair. I have pur
chased some very curious articles cf pottery aud
gold. I thin* the aborigine* valued copper more
than gold, a* ail the copper images are much finer
wrought than those of gold. Many of the articles
bear uninietakable signs ot Chinese figures. One
gold image Las the “almond eyes” peculiar to the
Asiatic race.
There are many singular storiea brought iu by
the Indians. Ail, or at least most of them, are un
doubtedly mere fabrications.
One Indian who brought in some 6 pounds of
gold image*, Faye that there ia a “Sierra de os
Muertos* in the interior where the gold is as plenty
as rocks, and where the Indian Kings are all buried ;
but that no white in; u can go there, as the Indians
are very brave and hate the pale faces. For s tin
cup one Indian promised to show me a place where
gold wa* iu the rocks as plenty a* the rock itself.
1 have seen some gold dust and some gold quartz,
but not enough to make me believe that any one
has discovered the miucs where the gold was taken
lrom, from which all the “huacas” are tilled. One
Indian says that he can take me in four days to a
ruined city where the houses are built of stone, and
some of them have gold nails in the walla, and
wbero they put geld pot* in the grave larger thau
his head, but I made a large discount on what he
said, a* I had just given h.m a drink of pure Ame
rican brandy.
The quantity of gold which comes in daily proves
beyond a doubt that great quantities exist some
where near here.
I here is a French hotel here where the boarding
ia about half as much a* it ia in the cheapest on the
Isthmus. The usual charge for a horse to the mines
is two “ poeo tiempo” dollars; the time required
to go up ia six hours; for a peon per day four
dime*.
The nights are so cool that a pair of thick blank
ets feel very comfortable ;no muequitoee—no fleas,
and the finest bathing I ever saw. The natives are
kind and honest ; there i* no need of pistols and
knives. Provisions of all kinds are cheap and
abundant.
From the Abbeville (Ala.) Banner.
Liberated from slavery.
Patience llicks, a young woman about seventeen
years of age, who was held as a slave by John
citizen of this county, under a bill of
sal?; mao? to him by one James C. Wilson, was
brought before Judge Williams, under a writ of
habeas corpus, sued out by Mrs, Cassey Ann Hicks,
the mother of said girl, who arrived in the town of
Abbeville on Tuesday, the 9th inst. On the trial
of the case it was proved that Wilson went to the
house of Mrs. Hicks, in Columbus, Ga., about the
first of last March, where he remained sick for
several weeks. On his recovery, he desired to
marry the youDg lady, and finding that her mother
was opposed to their marriage, lie stole her away
and brought her to the house of Rev. John Guil
ford, to whom he sold her for a slave. On his re
turn to Columbus,Hie prooured the brother, a boy
about fifteen years old, and sold him to a gentle
man in Georgia. The girl has worked on the plan
tation and is considerably sunburnt, which makes
her appear rather dark. But we think that we
have seeu a great many people who are recognised
as white persons, who are of a darker complexion
than thie girl, even in her present condition. The
mother, brother and sister of the girl are ad desti
tute of means, but the humanity and benevolence
of our citizens has oonjributed liberally to the poor,
umortunate people. Below we give the judgment
of the Court.
P. L. and Cassey A. Hicks, 1 Under writ of
t-s. > Habeas Cor-
Jobn Guilford, Contestant. ) pus.
Probate Court, Aug. 11, 1859.
In this case Cassey Ann Hicks sued cut a writ of
Habeas Corpus for the daughter, Patience L. Hicks,
and Caseev Ann Hicks, the infant daughter of said
Pat'ence L.. who were held in slavery by John
Guilford, of Henry county, said State of Alabama,
on the grounds that said Patience L. Hicks, and her
daughter are not slaves, but free white persons,
which bemg controverted by said John Guilford, the
trie’ came up before me at Abbeville, in said coun
ty on the 11th of August, 1859. The defendant e
(Guilford) counsel moved to dismiss the petition and
writ of Habeas Corpus for want of jurisdiction, and
referred to the case Field vs. Milley Walker, et. al ,
17th Ala , page 80. The court overruled said motion
on ike ground that said petition and eaid writ of
Habeas Corpus claimed the sa.d Patience L. and
Cassey Ann Hicks as free white persona and Bot as
tree negroes as in the case referred to.
The Court then proceeded to hear the teefimony
in said case, when lour witnesses took the stand
and proved beyond the possibility of a doubt that
the said Patience L. and ber’daughter. Cassey
Ann, are free white persons. Three of the wit
nesses knew the said Patience L. from her birth,
against whose evidence nothing has been urged.
Besides, the fact of the freedom of the said Patience
L. and her daughter Cassey Ann. must have come
to the knowledge of the said John Guilford, within
a short time after he claims to have purchased
them from Wilson, and after a full hearing of the
evidence on both eidee. it is ordered, adjudged,
and decreed that said Patience L. Hicks, and her
daughter Cassey Ann Hicks, be and they are
hereby discharged from the service of said John
Guilford, and be restored to her mother, the said
Cassey Anu Hicks, and that the said John Guilford
n . v aV cost* in this case, for which execution mav

Judge of Probate.
The counsel for Guilford have taken the case to
the Supreme Comt, not with the expectation of
again enslaving the girl, but with the expectation
o! olearinf Guilford of the soft.
AUGUSTA, GA., WEDNESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 7, 1851).
From the Macon Citizen.
Col. Akin in Huron.
There wa* a crowd of anxious citizens to
hear Col. Akin, at Concert Had, on Wednesday
night, composed of all parties. A few minutes after
8 o'clock, the meeting came to order, by calling
Judge Asa Holt to the chair, and requesting Cnas.
K. Roger*. Esq., to act a j Secretary.
A few minutes after, Col. Akin entered amidst
thundering applause and the strains of martial
mu;ic from the Macon Brass Band, and ascending
the stage, was introduced to the audience bv Judge
Holt.
To a large p< rtioc of our citizens, Col. Akin wr3
an entire etranger, in person, though favorably
known by reputation, as one srnong the gifted sons
of Georgia, *ho had raised himself from the humb
lest walks of life to his present high position, by
well directed deeign and unremitting effort, guided
by inherent greatness of mind. Buch men are not
only the moat valuable in any community, but the
moat admired and respected by all class3B.
Col. Akin commenced by stating that the posi
tion which he occupied before his fellow’ citizens,
was not of his seeking, butjtendered to him by a
Convention of the people of Georgia, in such a
mtnner, a* precluded a refusal of it on his part.
He was no politician—no voluntary seeker of office
—but when a noble-hearted, gallant body of his
fellow-citizsna called upon him to lead them in a
contest against the corrupt rulers of his State and
country, he could cot uud it in hie heart to deny
them—sympathizing, as he did, in their generous
effort to itay the tide of profligacy and corruption
which marked t: e career of our public (slicers, who
had grown bold and unscrupulous by long indul
gence.
He bad many years ago, ceased to mingle actively
in politic*, but aa every citizen should, be Lad
watched with interest the events transpiring before
him. He belonged to no party —but suffiaiued, iu
his humble manner,such principles as
he be ieved to be conducive to the welfare of his
country. He was an old Wfiig of 1810—and it had
pleased bis tellow itizens to place him upon the
Electoral ticket of Taylor and Filmore in 1848, which,
as every body knew', was successful iu Georgia
Since then, he had made but one political epeech,
and tad heard but very few. He did not present
bimeelf a* a politician—he never wished to be a
politician—but simply a plain, unpretending citizen,
willing only to meddle in public affairs, when hi*
fellow-citizen* believed that be cou;d do good.
Bur, he continued, the Presidential canvass of
1848, developed a doctrine, which has since over
shadowed the South; he meant tbe doctrine of
Squatter Sovereignty. Geu.Casa’ Nicholson fetter
placed it before tbe country. The Whigs charged
the nominee of t ie Democratic party, (Mr. Cuss.)
with that abominable doctrine. The Democrats
denied the imputation. They would have then ele
vated the advocate, as th-y have einca done the
author of that doctrine, to the Presidency; he be
lieved Mr. Buchanan to be the author or the doc
trine of equatter sovereignty. The Democratic
leaders endeavored to deceive the people theu, as to
the true principles o: their nominee. The wfcigs
exposed them. The next year Gen. Cass went into
the Senate, aud he theu took occasion to put life own
construction upon his Nicholson letter. He said his
friends had misrepresented him; but the Whigs
had done him justice—tueyhad construed his views
rightly.
Here, then, was the beginning of the odious doc
trine ot squatter sovereignty. It began with the
leaders of the Democratic party —it continues with
the leaders of the Democratic party—it belongs
exclusively to the Democratic leader* ; and it i*
even said to be in their wonderful and inimitable
Cincinnati platform! At least so contends Mr.
Douglas. Will the people be deceived by these
Democratic leaders again ? Ho believed the great
body of all parties were houest minded men—he
believed tue great body of the Democratic party,
were ht neat and wed-meaning citizen* ; but their
leaders had deceived them. He believed there
were some of the Democratic leaders who would
not onh’ sacrifice the rights of the people, but they
would even sacrifice their very country to maintain
office and power ’ lie appealed to his Democratic
friends, there present, to look to their leaders—to
hold them to a stricter account —to regard party
le*B, and their rights, their interests, and their
country more.
The Democratic party had control of the Govern
ment for years—if tlie leaders of that party were
such good friend* to the South, how was it that the
South always lost rights under them? How come
it that those doctrines moat dangerous to the South,
always emanated from theie Democratic leaders ?
What doe* the history of the past show ? Did the
people remember hearing of a “Northern man
with Southern principles ?’’ Some called him a
fox— some said he was a magician— some that he
was a weasel —but he called him Martin Van
Bn ren !
What did these Democratic leaders te’l the peo
ple of the South about Martin Van Buren ? Way,
that he was the only true aLd honest man—-” A
Northern rnan with Southern principles.” What is
Van Buren now? An abolitionist. Where does
he eland ? On the great Cincinnati platform!
What they told you about Van Buren, they told
you about Fierce aud Casa, and aie now telling you
about Stephen A. Douglas. And where does
Douglv* stand ? On the Cincinnati platform ! All
these Democratic leaders, Iheso freesoilers, the*e
Equatter sovereignty Douglas men—ail, all stand on
the Cincinnati platform ! All—even down to your
Governor, Joseph E. Brown! lie 6tands on the
Cincinnati platform—right on the midd e plank;
and in the middle of the middle plank, with Martin
Van Buren on one end and Stephen A. Douglason
the other ! Beautiful trio! Gov. Brown hap the
little Magician tor his *‘ light bower,’’ and the little
Giant for his “ left bower !” That is, Gov. Brown
has Martin Van Buren on one side, and Stephen
Arnold Douglas on the other!
Gov. Brown stands upon the Cincinnati platform;
he (Col. Akin,) did not; and while he was bl6Baed
with common sense, he never would. He stood
upon the principles announced by the Convention
in Macon on tbe 20th of July. They embodied the
true doctrine; there was no room fer two constitu
tions to be placed upon them. There was no
Northern and Southern construction; they were
not meant for a humbug. The Cincinnati platform
had two constructions—a Northern aud a Southern
euch things wore designed to humbug the people.
He warned his fellow citizens against all such clap
traps as the Cincinnati platform—they were hum
bugs and nothing but humbugs.
But while on the subject of humbugs, continued
Col. Akin, he would call attention to the moßt con
summate humbug of tbe day—fie meant the manage
ment of the State Road by Gov. Brown and his
Superintendent. What is the impression that has
gone out about this matter? What is the im
pression made by Gov. Brown’s friends ? Is it not
that Gov. Brown has made the State Road pay
more than Gov. Johnson did ? That is tbe impres
sion made, he did not doubt, upon the rniud of every
man in thia vast assembly. But what are the facts ?
—he had them there in figures—he had them from
authority that Democrats could not dispute—he had
the Federal Union there to condemn Gov. Brown,
to expose hi* unmitigated humbu*. In former
times, if ha, (Col. Akin,) and the Federal Union
happened to agree, he thought there must be some
thing wrong—but ou this occasion, their tables of
figures agreed so well, that he concluded both must
be right.
What are the facts? These tables show, said the
f-peaker, that for the four y**ar3 of Gov. Johnson’s
administration, the monthly nett earnings of the
Road was $35,892, while for the seventeen months
of Governor Brown’s administration, the monthly
earnings have only been $29,235, showing a differ
ence iu favor of Got. Johneon of nearly $7,000 per
month. The Road has an increasing business—it
w as well equipped by Gov. Johneon —and yet Gov.
Brown has done worse with it Thau Gov. Johnson.
Si ill he is humbugging the people into the belief
that he is making the Road pay better than Gov.
Johnson, and asking them to vote for him on that
account!
He (Gov. Brown,) puts forward no other claim,
and he, (Col. Akin,) thought this a very feeble one.
Why was it that the State Road could not be made
to pay ? The speaker was charitable, aud thought,
perhaps, that Gov. Brown had done the best he
knew how—that Dr. Lewis, bis Superintendent,
had done the best he knew’ bow. W e should uot
punish men for ignorance—it might coine too near
ouraelve*. But Le, (Col Akin ) remembered that
Gov. Bro* n expressed the belief in his luaugural,
that the State Road, with proper management,
ought to be the best paying stock in the State. In
his, (Gov. Brown’s,) hands, it was, unquestionably,
the poorest. Gov. Johnson paid an interest of 7
per cent., and he uas condemned. What should be
done with Gov. Brown, who has scarcely paid 5
per cent ?
It has been asked, said Col. AkiD, what became
ol tbe money earned by the State Road ? He did
not pretend to answer. Gov. Brown's friends and
Gov. Johnson's friends must look to it—if there was
stealing by one party, there was a backing of it
by the other. If Gov. Brown says Gov. Johnson
stole it, Gov. Brown is as bad as the thief—for
he backed him. He (Col. Akin) would let them
settle the fight between them—he would advise
the people, however, to demand a strict investi
gation of the affairs of the State Road.
Col. Akin disclaimed any unkind leeling against
any one—he was not unkindly disposed toward*
hi* political opponents—he only did not like their
principles, nor did he their policy. He did not
think that Gov. Brown had so much right to com
plain of bis opponents as he had of his political
friends. The latter may eupport him for party
purposes, but they did not seem to regard his opin
ions with any kind of respect. They had not car
ried out a single cne of bis recommendations. He
did not approve of Gov. Brown’s recommendations
liimself—he would allude to one in particular. The
donations to certain Colleges. He (Col AkiD)
would go as far as aoy man ot his means, to educate
the people—that was well known where he lived
Buthe was opposed to building up aristocracies.
Gov. Brown would give $100,600 to three or four
Colleges, that a few young men might be educated
at them by the public. The poor young men might
be educated or not, but the Colleges would be eure
to claim the money. He was not in favor of making
a distinction among the institutions of learning.—
He wished them ail to proeper; he wished every
boy and girl in the State could read and write well.
He had rather be taxed to educate the people than
to be taxed for anything else. He wa* willing to
pay the Colleges for all the poor boys they would
educate—if they educated ten pay them for ten—if
they educated one hundred pay them for one hun
dred. That was a fair business way of doing. He
aid not like Gov. Brown’s plan of paying the
money whether the work was cone or not.
The Colleges might be honest enough, but who
were to carry the poor boys there. He was lor
making the College* take an interest in the mat
ter, aud look up the boys themselves, and edu
cate them ; beiDg well assured the State would
pay them. The subject of education was one that
lay close to hi* heart—that he took more interest
in than almost any other—and he hoped to see
the time when we should have a good common
school eysiem.
Gov. Brown had made a “little war” upon the
Banks—his party did not sustain him in tflat. It
wa* a matter for astonishment that they ehould
have nominated him for a second term, when
they agreed with him in nothing in his first.
But tha’ was none of his (Col. Akin’s) business—
if Gov. Brown was satisfied he (Akin) would try
to be so too.
The hoarseness, consequent upon a severe cold
under which Col. Akin labored, made his delive
ry very troublesome at times. He said he couid
not make such a epeech as he wished—he could
only converse, as it were, with the audience.
He would try and make himself understood.
Col. Akin then spoke of the political issues of the
day—of the position of the South—of her gradua 1
loss of equality ; of the constant encroachment* of
the Ncrtn ; intervention and non intervention. The
North claimed intervention to prohibit slavery in
the Territories ; we claimed it, that we should be
let alone. Aii we wished was to be let alone, and
that the Constitution and law* be enforced. He
was for abiding by the Constitution and the law* ;
be demanded that they should be carried out in
good faith. He cared nothing for platforms. It
would appear that the leader* of the Democratic
party regarded their Cincinnati platform above the
Constitution or the laws. They had placed anew
construction upon their platform , cr, taken anew
position, and that was, that there should be no more
said about slavery. Thia, he presumed must be
intended expresely for the South : the North may
say and do as they please, but the people of the
South must keep their month* shut. He denounced
such base treachery, and called upon all good men,
right-thinkng men,.to rally upon the Constitution and
the laws, as our great stronghold, and drop the
treacherous wire-pulling demagogues, who had de
ceived us time and again. They had benefitted
themselves, but they had injured the State.
CoL Akin apoke about an hour and twenty min
utee and there was much in his speech we have
been unable to give in as forcible a manner as he
preeented it.
His maunsr of speaking is agreeable and pleasing,
and at ume eloquent ana UnpaasioneJ. There is a
stern, honest look about the mau, that carries con
viction ot the truth of what he state*. He i* every
inch a noble-hearted gentleman , and the applause
which greeted him at almost every sentence, to'd
but too plainly the power he exere'eed over his
bearers, and tho force with which his command of
language enabled him to express what he knew and
felt.
The impression his presence has made here, is in
the highest degree favorable. There was a waking
up of the old enthusiasm of tbe people—and our
friends abroad may rest assured that Warren Akin
will leave his mark, and do his whole duty wherever
he goes. He will be the next Governor of Geor
gia ! —mark that !
Editorial Correspond'ce of the Evening Dispatch
First Meeting of Wright and Jones—All
(.W) right.
Ei.bkktos, Aug. 25,1859.
This ha* been a triumphant and cheering occa
sion for the trieLdi of Col. Wright. It wa* hi* first
discussion with Mr. Jouee, during the cauva** —
According to i he order arranged lor dhensslou, Col.
Wright spoke an hour and a half; Jones followed
in a speech of two hours, and Wright concluded iu
a half an hour.
Col. Wright stated hi* position a* an independent
candidate, standing on none of the platform* of the
day—that headhertd to the Georgia Platform, aud
to the ccnotilutional custom* ot our father* who
had administered the government with equal justice
to all. He reviewed the last lew year* of hi* own
political record, and invited attention to the opin
lou he had expressed of Mr. Buchanan in 1856 He
charged that Yu h-id commenced his term with a
majority in Congress, and that he and hi* party
were responsible for the corruption and extrava
gance of the Government. He re view wd tbe unfair
discrimination agaiuat the South iu the coast
defences and the suspension of work* commenced.
The unefficieucy of tfie mail service, had become
a crying evil, and Congress would not have refused
to make the necessary appropriation if the expenses
had not already reached an alarming and unprece
dent sum.
He reviewed the slavery agitation and called up,
as he ha* done with so much effect wherever he has
spokeD, other leading features of the acffiiiniaistra*
tion—the Pacific Railroad—Purchase of Cuba—
Appropriation for tbe support and schooling of the
Echo African*—tlie Kansas agitation—and the true
policy iu reference to slavery in the territories. He
analysed the Kansas Nebraska Bill—and showed
how’artfully the right of Congress to supervise the
legislation of the territories—a right confirmed in
all proceeding bills organizing territories—had on
motion of Mr. Chass. ot Ohio, been stricken out,
leaving no chance to appeal for Congres;onal pro
tection. He alluded to subsequent discussion* in
Congress, where Douglas referred triumpantly to
the fact that Congress had relinquished such power,
and when a large number of tbe original supporters
of the bill pronounced it a cheat aud a swindle.
Among these were Bigler and Mason and Davis and
Gwin. His review or this exciting legislation, which
has convulsed the country for 6everal years, wa*
masterly and convincing.
Before taking his seat he desired Mr. Jones to
eay explicity whether he endorsed the ability and
patriotism of Mr. Buchanan, and if he would sup.
port Douglas.
Col. Wright closed by assuring hi* iellow-citiKeu*
that he was free from all affiliations that would
trammel his action, or bind him to support corrupt
measures to suataiu any party ; that if elected, he
should enter Congress prepared to staud alone with
those who were willing to concede our rights, and
withho’d no desorvtd censure to those who sought
to depart Irpm this principle.
Mr. Jones in his reply entered with manifest
trespidation upon a defence or review of the tell
ing point* made by Col. Wright, lie had always
been a Democrat, aud wa* before them as the nom
inee of the Democrat party, ne did not endorse
all of Mr. Buchanan’s aoc*; was opposed to his
Pacffic Railroad policy, but his party could not be
held responsible for his course on that measure, be
cause it was not a part of the Cincinnati Platform,
aDd the party stood on that. He endorsed the
proposition to raise $39,000,000 for the purchase of
Cuba. To the charge that the Administration had
educated wild Africans, he said that Col. Wright
differed with Mr. Cobb who was ih Washington,
and ought to know more about it than a mau away
down in Jellereon county. Georgia Democrats
could not be held responsible for the appropriation
anyhow, for none of the Georgia delegation had
voied for the bill eave Mr. Jackson.
He endeavored to defend the enormous expeudl
turesof the Government, and read from the Annual
Messages and documents to show that the expen
ses were a few millions less than Col. Wright had
charged, and made them—exclusive of amount, paid
lor public debt about $76,090,000. He claimed
that about $1,000,000 had been passed over Mr.
Buchanan’s head, and this i* the way he met the
charge of extravagance made against an adminis
tration, whose enormous prodigality had run tens
of millions ahead of any that had preceded if.
Feeling confident that he had feiled to defend the
charge, he saddled the responsibility on the Know
Nothings and Black Republicans, when it is will
known that the expenditures were all, or nearly all.
called for to meet administration projects, ana
moreover tbe administration had a majority in Con
gress, until by shuffling Kansas policy they were
estranged or defeated. He ascribed the defect of
the appropriation bill to the same cause where
everybody that is posted, knows that it was killed
by Mr. Toombs—at least, that gentleman claims
the credit of killing it.
lie said that Mr. Buchanan had always voted
with the South while in CoDgrce*, and that Mr. Fil
more had always voted egainat us.
He then took up the Kansas biil—wished he had
time to show that it did not sanction squatter sove
reignty, and denied that the Democratic party of
Mr. Buchanan bad advocated that doctrine. He
said it was no objection to that bill that it had a
double construction, many laws could be construed
so as to have different meaning*. The Constitution
was differently construed in different sections. He
was in favor of congressional intervention if neecs
iary, or advisable to insist upon it now. He would
support Mr. Douglas, if a Black Republican iva*
nominated, and was the nominee r.t Charleston,
but he was not engaged in the small business of
Prosident-makiug.
He would cheerfnlly endorse Mr. Buchanan’s
ability, but if patriotism meant his views ou the
Pacific railroad, he could not endorse him. Thia
struck us as one of the most clumsy dodges wo have
ever witnessed.
After thus stammering over—he did uot answer
the points made by Col. Wright—he turned loose on
the Know Nothings, and from hi* lofty declamation,
and pathetic review of their revolutionary aims,
one would have thought the country about to be
ravaged by a pestilence or a desolating army.—
Respect for the dead ought to induce the kind
hearted gentleman to be more forbearing toward
defunct Bam.
He told the anecdote of the cow’s tail, and held
Col. Wright responsible for the sins of the Ameri
can party, and warned the people that if they
elected Wright, and his party got the powor the
oaths and the proscriptive principles of tbe bloody
Know r Nothings would be revived. About haif of
his speech was devoted to the stale cant, current
several years ago, when there was more show of
reason in it. Alter leaving this cold trail, he dash
ed off into quite a glowing panegyric on the De r o
cratic party. He paid Gov. Brown a handsome
eulogy, and called on the people to rally under his
banner iu defence of the old tried principles of
Democracy.
The last half hour of hi3 speech ie an ingenious device
to catch the prejudices ot the people, and is deliv
ered in very handsome style. But it. is as utterly
barren of a sin :le vital principle as it i* possible for
a talk of an hour to be. While Mr. Jones declaims
well, he is not at all skilliui or effective in debate
and he will have to show other reasons than he ha3
presented to day to induce reasoning minds to en
dorse the course of Lis party on any of the leading
topics of legislation, or to put their trust in Mr.
Buchanan or Douglas, or in him as tbeir apologist
and eupporter.
Col. Wright, in conclusion, showed that Mr.
Jones, ia attempting to convict him of inaccuracy
in stating the expenses of the government, had
omstted the moderate sumot about $1,090,000 defi
ciei cy in the Post Ofli •© Department. lie alluded
to the record of Mr. Fillmore, and vindicated him
from the charge of hostility to the South. He
showed up the convenient way in which Mr. J< lies
dodged responsibility /or the sins of Mr. Buchanan,
and cleared his party of responsibility for the errors
of the Administration, while he fixed on his
(Wright’e) devoted head all the sins of tho Opposi
tion and the obnoxious heresies of the Know Noth
ing party. He ehowed the unsatisfactory character
of Mr. Jones’ explanation of tho Kansas bill, and
reviewed the trick by which the supervisory clause
was stricken from it.
Mr. Jones had asked Wright if in 1853 he had
not voted for him (Jones) against Mr. Stephens.
Wright answered, in the most inimitable manner,
that he bad many tslns to answer for, bat this was
not among the number! The audience was con
vulsed at this shower bath on Mr. Jones. Col.
Wright insisted that Mr. Jones had not met square
ly the questions asked him, and had msda eva
sive and unintelligible answers to others.
This discussionhas been most gratifying to the
frieDds of Col. Wright. His coolness and delibera
tion—his fairness and candor, win for him the re
spect of al! who bear him in debate, or me-, t him in
conversation, while h<s inimitaole skill at repartee,
give him great advantage in debate with Mr. Jones.
I do not mean to depreciate Mr. Jones. He speaks
his set speech very handsomely—but it is no place
for sophomoric appeals to the passions and preju
dices of the people, and if he does not meet Col.
Wright squarely on tLe charges preferred against
his party, and tne issues presented, be cannot fail
to receive a duplicate of the drubbing administered
to him by the votes of the district in 1853.
Gross Insult from Gov. Brown. —We wish the
chivalric sons of Georgia to oonsider fur a moment
the grand inßult offered by Gov. Brown, in bis
speech of acceptance at the Miliedge villa Conven
tioa. Just imagine him—the Governor of “the
Empire State of the South” —in the attitude that a
bullying braggart, half intoxicated, upon “the
common drink of the country,” would be likely to
asaume.as he tauntingly challenges a competitor
for a coolest in the ring. See him as be stands out
before the crowd at a Cross Road Grocery; be
twirls hie fists and knocks them together, to get his
courage up, and then with bis right arm akimbo
before him and first turned ,up, he says, “1 dart
you for a fight,” —l can whip the best man in the
State, so bad be wont (tnow himself— yes ; I d-a-r-e
ye to do it.
How like this was the course of Gov. Brown as
he stood out before the Convention and “flung
hatred and full defiance in the face” of at least
forty-five thousand as gallant men a* ever contended
for the glorious'rights of American citizenship. The
following is the exact words he used. Read them,
and let your blood boil at the sense of just indigna
tion they excite :
“I do not know who my opponent is to be. I
hope he may be the best and strongest man of the
party , for there is some credit in beating their beet
man thirty thousand rotes, ichicli I expect to do if I
live. Ido not feel that I could be very well satis
fied with lees.” ,
Thus spake Joseph’E.'Crown in his speech sc
cepting the nomination of Governor of Georgia,
and at a time, too, whet** forge portion of the
Opposition party of the Spate, (being falsely im
pressed in regard to BisTlailroad management,)
were not disposed to fun-a candidate against him.
Can you brook the insQfe you brave eons of a
noble ancestry ? Can a demagogue, with impunity
dare you to exercise your elective franchise against
himself! Let your heart burnings arising from
these considerations be developed In suitable efforts
between this and the first Monday in October, and
the little boaster’s “occupation will be gone.”

The Division of Texas. —lt is reported from
New York, says the Cbarleeton Mercury, that
Douglas, amongst his other schemes, meditates pro
posing at the next seseion of Congress, to divide
the State of Texas into four Territorial division*, to
be admitted into the Union as soon as filled up with
the adequate population proximately entitling to a
repreeentative. Whether or not two of these would
become freeeoilor pro slavery, will depend upon
the kind of emigration, which of course is greatly
influenced by the protection and encouragement
afforded. In the northern counties of Texas there
are already large settlements of anti-slavery inhabi
tant*. These may constitute the nuclei for emi
grant aid efforts, as in Kansas. In Wood county
there has been within two years, a rank abolition
paper published weekly for a length of time, though
the publisher was at last notified to leave. The
compromise of ’SO left this an onen question, and
what Seward hopes- we’have lately had occasion to
point out. With the principle of squatter sovereign
ty and the omnipotent majority, who could venture
to predict the reeult. The Dred Seott decision must
be made to overrule higher law.
\Uri*hl uud Jones t l.tticoluiun
The discuss on on Safuiday at Liccolntc-u was a
proud day for the friends of Col. Wright. We need
not review the points cf the discussion—they did
not differ materially from those we have reported
at E beiton. But each was more familiar with the
tactics of the other, than on that occasion, ami the
scope of argument was wider. Cos). Wright examin
ed the record of Mr. Jones’ party—and convicted
the medern Democracy of mat y eina which are
sought to be lad at the door of the opposition.—
Col. W. handled his whole theme in a fresh and
vigorous manner, so much so that those who had
heard his previous speeches could not refrain from
admiring his wonderful tact in presenting the same
points, and clothing the same ideas, iu anew and
attractive garb. Mr. Jcnes spoke and aimed
at some of the points, which he expected Mr
Wright to make, but devoted most of his time to
his lavorit* declamation about Know Nothings—
warning the people that though Bam was dead, if
his followers were put in p>*wer, they would resur
rect him. He closed with bis stereotyped pauegy
lie to the old ship Democracy, and told the story of
Paul, who in the storm admonished his friends to
stick to the ship, and they should all be saved.
Col. Wright, in rising to reply, reminded the au
dience that certain persons on tho ship had to leave
it before the crew were laudtd ou the island of
Melita ; and he thought the best way to save the
Democratic ship was to throw overboard some of
its frightened and profligate crew—and he pointed
eigtiificautlv to Mr. Jones—who seemed a little
discomfitted at the turn given to hia scriptural com
parison’
Ho turned the argument against Know Nothiugs,
auu the danger of promoting the old Samites to
office—upon the heads of the friends of Mr Jones
present, (Mr. Long and Mr. Strother) who had
formerly acted with him iu the American party.—
Turning to cue of them —who was by the side of
Jones in the stand, he askeu, with an air of playful
triumph:
“Who is the gentleman’s groomsman to-day ?
Is he not one of the members of the defunct and
derided party, whoee leaders you so despise—and
foot the candidate for your own party, for tbe
Legislature ? If Sam is so terrible a monster that
his resurrection is dreaded, then should these men
be kept from power.’* The effect wa9 electric—
aud when the applause elicited by well
turned retort had subsided, he paid bis old friends
L. and S a good naluied compliment and left them
to the tender mercies of their now allies.
Mr. Jones had asked Wright if he would vote
for Brown for Governor. Wright replied, with a
severe review of Gov. Brown’s course toward the
currency of the State —of the fatal results that
would Lave followed he execution of his nolicy—
of the bankruptcy to the rich, and the.suff'snng to
the poor, which it must have brought about—and
in plain terms said no such mau should receive hi*
vote.
Col. Wright is very dignified, and argumenta
tive, aud never indulges ia anecdote or railery ex
cept in reply to the hits of Mr. Jones—and it is
gratifying to observe that each is very respectful
and courteous to the other. It is a foregone con
clusion that nobody iu this countiy oan make any
thing in trying to “turn down” Col Wright with
auecdotes. Aud he is a full 6 match for the ablest
debaters of the times at solid argument, and at a
review of the political history of the country. He is
an awful terror to his antagonist, in any depart
ment of the r discussions.
In the coDcluiion Mr Jones mads several errors
iu atatintr the record of parties—and was corrected
by Col. Wright, lie again dodged the patriotism
of Mr. Buchanan—and Wright insisted that he
should answer according to the general meaning of
the term —whether Buchanan iu his opinion was a
patriot. Jon&s finally admitted that Le believed
Mr. Buchanan loved his country, aud would not
join the British against it! He would uot swallow
Doughs exactly, nor would he denounce him. If
he was nominated, and a Blaci Republican run
against him, aud it was necessary, he would vote
for Douglas to beat the Republican. “The nephew
of his uncle” evidently docs not like Douglas as
well as Mr Toombs does. Nothing has yet been
said by either candidate ou tlie revival of the slave
trade.
Owing to the fact that Cos!. Wright withdrew his
appointment, and met Mr. Joues, at Liucelnton,
the barbecues designed for each, were given sepa
rately—the lrlends of Mr. Jones having refused to
let the friends of Col. Wright join them on equal
terms. Each barbecue was conducted iu a very
orderly manner—though the division was unfortu
nate. Wright’s friends repaired to the hotel —
white those of Mr. Joues wont to ’ho spring lot, and
partook of the bounties of the day. Tine division
has stared up seme unpleasant feeling—but it
cannot injure Col. Wright, and will no doubt sub
side iu a short time. Parties arc very equally
buiianced iu Lincoln, aud no great majority is ex
pected either way. Wright carno off more than
conqueror; his tneuds were enthusiastic, and
sanguine of a majority in the county.— Dispatch.
Letter from Col. Akin.
Col. Akin has handed us the following communi
cation upon a shameless* insinuation—they do uot
dare to make a charge—in reference to his receipts
for services rendered the State as Attorney for the
Western aud Atlantic Railroad ;
Savannah, Aug. 31st, 1859.
To the Editors of Ike Federal Union :
A friend has handed me your paper of the 23d
inst, containing statements calculated to make on
the minds ot your readers a false impression ; and,
supposing you would not intentionally do me in
justice, I call your attention to the matter, that
you may do me justice by correcting your error.
You refer to the “Senate Committee’s Report,”
and say : “By that report, it will be seen that Mr.
Akin was service as Attorney lor the Road
at various times, the sum of $1,750 00, $1,750 more
than was paid to any other lawyer, employed by
the Road, iu the space of three years.” As 1 under
stand this, you state that $4,750 (MJ were paid me
tor three years’ service to the Road. The truth is,
I was employed by the Road in the Spring of 1852;
have been serving the road, as attorney, ever since,
aud still am serving it—there being two important
cases now pending, one in the county of Cues, and
the other in the county ot Catoosa, each of which 1
intend to defend to the end of litigatiou in the
Superior Court. So you perceive that, instead of
having served that road only three years,) have
been iu its service lor seven years and a half.
You are pleased to copy from the “Senate
Committee’s Report,” that they had “not been
able to see that the value of the service to the
road is, in every case, commensurate with tho large
sums paid.” I can see no object you had in view,
in making this extract from that report, unless it
was to make the impression that, the Committee
had eaid that Ihe service rendered by me was uot
‘commensuiate with the sum paid” me. The
Committee say xi in every case ,” which clearly
shows that in some cases the “service” was “com
moueurate with the sum paid.” And one member
of the Committee assured me that the remarks
you have quoted from their report, were not inten
ded to apply to me. This I stated substantially in
a letter published in the Chronicle &. Sentinel, the
31st of December last.
But I wish to have this matter about fees dis
tinctly understood. Governor Brown settled my
account for fees, and he settled the fees of the
Hon. A. R. Wright, of Floyd, also. Judge Wright
was employed for the Road in 1856. I wan em
ployed four years before that time. Judge Wright
was employed against the Road in every case ex
cept one, 1 believe. Governor Brown paid Judge
Wright, who is a good Democrat and a supporter
of the Governor, $3 000 when Judge Wright had
been iu the service of the Road in some cases about
eighteen months.
lie paid me the remainder of my account, $4750,
when I nad been iu the service of the Road in all
the cases (except as above stated) four years and
a half, aud am still in its service, while Judge
Wright is still opposed to the road in at least one
important case. Now, lam willing to enter into
a bond, for any reasonable sum, tu take just one
half the amount paid by Governor Brown to
Judge Wright, according to the service rendered by
each of us, to be decided by three disinterested
attorneys, Gov. Brown aelecting one, I one, and
those two a third ; and if 1 have received more
thau I ought, 1 will pay it back to the Road ; and
if 1 have uot received half as much as Gov. Brown
paid Judge Wright, the Road shall still pay it to
me. Surely, lam entitled to half as much as Gov.
Brown paid Judge Wright, taking the service ren
dered by each into consideration. Gov. Biowh
refused to submit my account to three disinterested
attorneys and be governed by their award. Will
he refuse this proposition ! 1 make no complaint
against the fees paid Judge Wright; I only for
half as much as Gov |Brown paid him—the service
of each being considered.
You will receive this through the Savannah
Republican , as your paper will uot appear agaiu
for neerly a week. But I request you will insert it
in the first issue of the Federal Union , and oblige
your obedient servant, Warren Akin.
P. S.—Will tbe Macon Telegraph and the Augus
ta Constitutionalist please insert the above.

Ben. Hill at Forsyth— This popular orator
addressed a rousing meeting of the people, at For
syth, Tuesday last. He spoke, we learu, for four
hours, and held his immeuse auditory spell bound
to the close. Wo hear of the best results.
The truth is, the people are wakiug up and be
coming alive to the impositions that have so lODg
been heaped upon them. There is “tire in the moun
tains,” and the conflagration is beginning its march
over middle Georgia. May we not hope that some
spark will light up a blaze in the south, and thus by
sweeping over the entire State, purge it. oi the

Pig Iron—Dr. John W. Lewie’ Honesty In
Danger.
We have just been placed jin possession of the
following startling facts :
Dr. John W. Lewis, Superintendent of the W.
Sc A. It. R, is a manufacturer, of Fig Iron, in the
vicinity of Cartersviile, Casa county, Georgia.
Cartersville is his shipping point on the Kailroad.
He is in the habit of sending most of bis Fig Iron
to a gentleman in Huntsville, Ala , by the name of
Swift.
In Floyd counly there is a competing iurnace
under the management of Messrs. Cothran tk El
liott. These gentleman ship their Fig Iron from
Kingston, 14 miles above Cartersville, to the same
gentleman, Mr Swift, of Alabama.
Mr. Swift informed Messrs. Cothran &’ Elliott, a
few days ago, that although he preferred their Pig
Iron to that of Dr. Lewis, yet he could not take any
more from them, from the fact that there was such
a great difference in the freight charged by Dr.
Lewis on his Iron and that charged ou theirs.
Messrs. Cothran Sc Elliott knowing that Dr.
Lewis’ shipping point was II miles on the Road
below them, thought it was strange that there should
be a discrimination against them in favor of Dr.
Lewis. That if there was any difference, as they
were II miles nearer Chattanooga tbau Dr. Lewie,
that the difference Bhouid be in their favor. The
published rates of freight on pig iron, from King
ston to Chattanooga, being $325 per ton or 2,000
pounds. Messrs. Cothran and Elliott, on investi
gating this strange affair, are informed bv Mr. Swift
that he had to pay on their iron from Kingston to
Chattanobga, the regular published rates of freight,
$3.25 per ton. But on the pig iron ot Dr. Lewis,
from Cartersville to Chattanooga, 11 miles below
Kingston, only $1.35 per ton or 2,000; making a
difference in favor of Dr. Lewis’ iron $1 05.
This discrimination has amounted to a prohibition
of the sales of the pig iron of Messrs. Cothran di-
Elliott. The mildest construction that we can put
upon this transaction is that it is a weak and base
effort to swindle the State by a poor old ignoram
us. We ,call upon the Brown dynasty and the In
telligencer of this city to deny the charge.
For what we have said, we refer the public to the
well known names of Cothran di Elliott, and Gen. J.
H. Rice, Daniel R. Mitchell, Rome, Ga .—Atlanta

Quite a Mistake—A recently married young
mss in Cincinnati got intoxicated at a wine party,
and in that state went home to his wife. As soon
as he appeared she leaped from the sofa, ou which
she had been half reclining, and throwing her ala
ba-ter arms about his neck, inquired, “Are you ill,
dearest ? What ails you ? You do not seem to be
yourself.” “Well, the fa—fa—truth is, that—that
that I went to sit—sit up with a si—si—sick
brother, belonging to oar —our—oar lodge, you

Opposition Timidity.
“Faint heart never won fair lady,” is as true In
politics as in love. It we have no heart for the one
and no stomach for the other, we shall moat cer
tainly never succeed in either. Our owu doubts
become our most dangerous traitors, aud suateh
from U3 the good we might obtain by destroying
the will to attempt.
We have uo doubt that the false assumptions,
the arrogant pretensions, the bold assertions, and
ihe unscrupulous promises of the leaJers of so-called
Democracy, have alone tor years saved that party
from total disgrace and Annihilation. Whenever its
pledges are groasly falsified aud its corruptions are
laid bare aud exposed to the houest gaz* of au in
dignaut people, theu it is that the leaders are most
fertile in expedient* to overawe ihe timid, deceive
the ignorant, csjole the weak and tempt the base,
by reckless appeal* to their ambition or avarice.
Principle, then, succumbs to policy, and all that is
dear in country, all that i* valuable iu service*, all
that i* pure in patriotism, and even all that is ex
alted in man, ia kicked aside to make a way for
demagogues, who first flatter, theu deceive, next
bettay, aDd at last destroy.
It is too plain for an argument that the Demo
cratic party i* now held together by the “cohesive
principle of public plunder.” Even its Southern
leaders cannot agree on one single point of State or
Federal policy. The two Georgia Senator* are as
wide apart as the pole*. Toombs ia for Douglas—
Iverson believes Douglas “has bowed his neck to
the yoke” of Black Republicanism. Toombs is for
flinging wide open the gases of our Territories to
squatters and aliens, and welcoming them to hos
pitable homes—lverson believes that alieus and
squatters, like the Grecian horse, were invited to
enter the citadel of Southern equality and honor
through the gaps of the Kacsas-Nebraska bill, and
hence the Iliad of all our woes. Ihe Augusta
Constitutionalist think* and toasts Douglas as the
only man that can succeed against a Black Repub
lican for President—other Democratic presses de
nounce the “Little Giant” as a traitor to the South
and false to the Constitution. Same eulogise the
railroad and banking policy of Gov. Brow n—others
again denounce him as a stupid as* and unfit,
through ignorance, self conceit and bombast, to be
the chief Executive of a great Stats.
Aintdst these inconsistencies of measure*—these
contradictions among Democratic Solous (where
no man knows the part assigned him in the per
formance of the Grand Farce of Democratic bluu
ders, errors and corruptions,) we ask our politi
cal friends, if we have not everything to hope
and nothing to fear. To say that truth canuot
cope with falsehood, nor intelligence with igno
rance—that we must told our arms in listless iu
differenoe because we tear we cannot sucoeed, is at
once a base abandonment of the rights of freemen
and a libel on our political government, our man
hood and our God. Let us awake from this sleep
of death—let us cast our fear* to the winds, and
nerved by our sister*, Kentucky, Virginia, Ten
nessee, North Carolina aud Texas, let us resolve,
and then the victory will be won. We have noble
leaders, and above all, a noble cause. The State
and tbe whole countiy demands that every man op
posed to the present corrupt administration of the
Government should do his duty, and his whole duty,
in thought, woid and action.
Let this be the watchword, and the old ship Con
stiiution, (now thumping upon the rocks,) better
manned and officered, will pitch forward on her
gallant, immortal course, ana leave the pirate* and
wreckers that are hovering around her perish
ignobly in her wake. For our humble part, we
would perfer the right in a hopeless minority for
ever, thau endeavor to concentrate a wrong with
millious ou our side. He is no patriot or Christian
who will not earnestly try to find the truth, aud
wheu fouud will not obey iu practice ife precepts.
He is scarce a man who would knowingly popu
larise error in a country whoso very lifeblood is
enlightened and virtuous public opinion.
From the New York Herald.
The Democracy of whom Douglas is a leader held
up their hands in horror at Know Nothiugism. They
looked upon secret meetings as fraught with the
worst of evils, and calculated to destroy the liberties
of our glorious republic. If it was wrong in a body
of men to meet in seoret and swear to exert them •
selves in endeavoring to accomplish the triumph of
a set of principles which they sincerely thought con
ducive to the best interests of the country, much
worse is il to meet in the same wav to advance the
claims of any man to the proud place of President
of these United States ? And what will the Demo
cracy say when l tell them truly, that Stephen A.
Douglas has established in nearly eveiy town in
the Union, secret organizations, which “hold their
regular stated meetings, that they may be enabled,
by thorough organization, management and tricke
ry, at the primary elections of the Democratic party,
to elect enough delegates to Charleston to nominate
him for President ? This is so. The headquarters
of this organization is at Washington, and its prime
director is tho “ Little Giant.” He has several
secretaries here to aid him in his work of corres
pondence with the chiefs of his organization.—
Among these secretaries or amanuenses, is the
once celebrated “ avaut courier of Truman Smith,”
and Forney’s stenographic amanuensis, who, you
will remember, he loaned Douglas to accompany
him in his late Illinois campaign, aud who wrote
the Slidell fiction.
Por.iTiCAi. Proscription.-— The following is
clipped from a recent speech of Tom Corwin, at
Ironton, Ohio:
We here have parties. lam not one of those who
believe that political parties are necessary. lam
notone that believes that, as men of sense and dis
credtion, we have need to differ about this thing at
ail. I admit that parties are made necessary by
the present imperfections of mankind. But while
I would say that, I would beg of you in God’s name,
to put away the little, mean and trilling ambitions
and asperities of parries, and, my life on it, if you
would do that, there would not be so much party iu
the country aa there is. If you could get a Presi
dent who would devote the whole faculties of his
head and the better emotions of his heart, and con
centrate them upon the idea that be was the repre
sentative of the only free government on the face
of the earth, and the one supposed to be the model
of all to come after us in all nations of the world,
that want to be free—if we could but get a man
that would elevate himself even so high as to think
tbal, and act upon it, do you beliove that the post
master whose office is on Borne prairie iu Illinois, (I
am speaking of a fact that I have seen related iu
the newspapers,) the proceeds of whose office
amounted to three dollars and seventeen cents per
annum, gross, [laughter,) who had the impudence
to p ke his head out of the little log cabin in which
liia cilice wee held, and say that he thought Stephen
A. Douglas was a respectable mail, and was over
heard by some poor mau—not poor in property,
but poor in soul, that had a little starved and mise
rable soul in him, who wrote on to this mighty
representative of the only free country on the iaos
of God's earth, taking care of the liberty of the peo
ple of the country—thirty millions of them—that he
did uot like Mr. Douglas while the other man did ;
that he, the President, would send fortli a mandate
to that poor little fellow on the prairie, who was
collecting his three dollars and seventeen oents a
year—not tbe tenth part o! the expenses of fuel that
he burned iu one winter—to go out of offioe [laugh
ter] and let some man come in who did not like
Douglas.
This is a fact, so they say. Don’t let me now be
holding up Mr. Buchanan as au exception. Such
has been too much the case with eveiy President
since this party spirit has been so much id vogue.
Whig and Democrat, etc., have been guilty of the
same sin. I know when you are electing a man to
make lawe for you, you must elect one whose no
tions agree with yours ; but I do not know that
when you have a clerk at Washington, and the
Whig party believes that the pen-knife he uses
ought to pay DO per cent rid valorem duty, and that
poor clerk liae not been able to see that distinctly,
although be is a capital book-keeper and a faithful
man, but in hia boul and conscience, be thinks it
would not be right to pay so much duty as that, he
is not tit for a book-keeper. It is not respectable.
I know that, because I have tried it. No man can
feel like a gentleman, if God has made him one,
and do that thing. It that man holds his tongue,
we will not question him as to that ; but if be is to
go to Congress and make laws tor us, to establish
that duty on the pen knife, then we will ask him
about it.
Ex Minister Fohsvth and Judoe MeekDinino
with Judge Douglas. —A Washington correspon
dent of the New York Herald, under date of the
19th inst., says :
“Ex Minister Forsyth arrived at the National
this morning, acoompanied by Judge Meek and
other Alabama Douglas men. They dine with
Judge Douglas to-morrow. These politicians are
somewhat troubled to reconcile their support of
Douglas’ territorial sovereignty views with their
former opposition of Cass’ Nicholson letter. While
claiming independent sovereignty for territories,
they fail to explain why governors and other offi
cers are not elected by the people, instead of being
appointed by the federal government. The friends
of Douglas are much elated by their apparent
Btrengih in Alabama, as indicated by the choice of
Forsyth, Meek and Company to the Legislature.”
Weil, ex-Minister Forsyth and Judge Meek are
far-seeiDg politicians. They evidently think that
Mr. Donglae will be the nominee of the Charleston
Convention, and have sought to gain his ear in time.
The one probably wants to go as Minister to St.
James or St. Cloud, the otLer has been wanting to
Stand “beneath Italia's crime, ’
for a long while. Forhaps if they can make a favor
able impression upon Mr. Douglas, and he should
get the vote of the South, aided by the twaiu in
Alabama, their wishes may be realized. As for
Judge Meek, in particular, we have always been,
and are now, an admirer ot the man. We have ad
mired him for his litterary attainments, and for Lis
whole souled cleverness towards his friends. But
we do hope that the people of Alabama will net be
dragged into the support of Douglas simply to grati
fy a few leading men of the party who may seek
thereby to gain distinguished appointments and
large pay for themselves. Can the people of Aia
bamabe gulled into the support of their arch enemy,
by the arts ot politicians who seem ouly to seek
their owu personal aggrandisement/— Montgomery

Unfair Discrimination.
Messrs. Editors .—You have doubtless heard
that there are mauy good and true democrats in
Cherokee Georgia, who will not support Joe Brown.
Our opposition la not without good reasons. Asa
specimen of his favoritism, we give the following :
The rates of freight as published in the freight
list, on pig iron,from Cartersville to Chattanooga,
is $3 25 per ton of 2000 lbs. Dr. Lewis, chief
Superintendent, has been shipping his own iron
from Cartersville to Chattanooga, at $1.36 per ton,
and charging Messrs. Cothran A- Elliot $3 25 per
ton from Kingston to Chattanooga. Both parties
shipped to the same bouse—Swift St Cos. Hunts
ville, Ala. For tbe truth of the above statement
the publio are referred to Col. Cotbrau, and Gen.
Rice, late editor of the Cassville Standard, but now
of Rome, Ga. Cherokre.
August 22,1859.
The above is from a very respectable and respon
sible gentleman of Cherokee Georgia By this
monstrous discrimination of a railroad official, the
difference between a car load of iron shipped by
Dr. Lewis from Cartersville, and Cothran Sc Elliot
from Kingston, (a ehorter distance) is $16.20. —
Something of au item in favor of the chief Superin
tendent, who ia a bilge iron dealer.
“Once More to the Breach, Dear Friends,
Once Moke.” —The late elections at the Sooth are
most cheering to tte oppositionists ol Georgia. On
every field, thus far contested, our friends have
broken the lines and effected a lodgement within
the strongholds of Democracy. In Virginia, Texas,
i'orlti Carolina, Kentucky and Tennessee, we have
gained eleven members of Congress f We now
nave a majority ot toe delegation of Maryland and
Tennessee and divide those of North Carolina, Ken
tucky and Texas. A vigorous, united effort will se
cure ns the Congressional vote of Georgia, ensure
to us the balance of power, in the Congressional
selection of a President in 1860. The gamo is with
in onr reach and well worth tbe coet. Then let
every friend of peace, law, economy and the ooun
try erouse himeelt to the good work of redeeming
the State and district from tbe clutches of those, who
have sought our confidence, only to betray it.—
Work, work, let every man work for one vote and
success must crown our labors Rumter Republi

cause he did not vote for that particular measure—
we will say the Oregon admission bill, for which the

co-operates in Congress. Ani let not the people of
this District forget that by that bill Oregon was
admitted as a free State after the Democratic par

by which Kansas was practioally refused admission
aa a star,’ State—the Hon. Martin J. Crawford sup
porting the latter espedieut. It was a party mea

was designed to result iu benefit to his party in
ocming elections. Had an Opposition Presided
and an Opposition Congress been iu authority,
Oregon would have been kept oul, and we should
uot have been compelled tu witness the spectacle
insulting and degrading to our own section -of a
Slave State shoved aside with one hand, and a Free

Important from Japan —We find in the Rot
terdam Couraut, of July 16th, tbe following letter
from Japan, containing important information lor
the American reader. It will bo seen that in con
sequence of a misunderstanding with Consul-
General Harris, the Japauese Government now
refuses to seud Commissioners to Washington to
exchauge the ratification of ita treaty with the
United States. The letter, we learn Irom a relia
ble source, is authentic, and its facts uot to be
disputed.
Translated for the New York Tunes from the
Rotterdam Conrant.
Decima, (Nagasaki,) Friday, March ‘.’fi, 1859.
A few days ago I received intelligence from Yedo
that four American merchantmen had arrived at
Kanagawa, near that Capital, for the purpose ot
trade, although that port, according to the treaty,
is not to be opened before the It B of July of this
year.
Mi. Townsend Ilanis, the American Consul
Geneial, at Bimoda, ou leceipt of this information,
left immediately for Vedo with two American
steamers, theu on a visit to Simoda, and instead of
ordering these merchant vessels to leave that port,
as was his duty, he applied to the Council of State
for permission to allow these merchant ships to
trade in anticipation of the treaty—even strongly
insisting upon compliance after the request had
been refused by the Counoil of State Tbe Council,
however, persisted in its refusal, and desired Mr.
Ilanis to immediately order those merchant ships
away.
The Japanese Government felt much displeased
with this act of the Cousul General; (he more so,
as he had promised that no American ships, not
even a man-of-war, should visit the Bay of Vedo
before the treaty goes into effect. In consequence
of this, the Japanesa Government has changed ite
mind in regard to sending Commlesioneis lo Wash
ington to exohauge the ratification of the lieaty.—

Destruction ok a Citk by an Earthquake.—
The English papers received by the Etna announce
the entire destruction of the aic.ient city of Er..e
room, in Turkey, by repeated shocks of earthquake
within the last three months. The first earthquake
occurred June tst, and a letter from one of the mis
sionaries of the American board gives a vivid <ie
soription of the first great shock He says:
“ The first shock, which was not very severe,
was felt about 8 o'clock A. M., June 1, and at Hi
o’clock A. M., the following day came the tearful
earthquake, which laid in ruins 3,(100 houses, near
ly destroying l,f>oo more, and injuring 1,501) others,
leaving (according to the acoounts of Turkish cfii
oials,) over 1,300 houses unharmed ; but I do not
believe that there are 100 houses in Erxeroom as
sound as they were before the earthquake. The
shock was not only felt throughout the city, but
the villages on the plain, and even at Hasaan-
Kallah, 50 miles to the east.
“ According to official returns, 1)80 dead bodies
have been taken out from the ruins, about 500
wounded, and GO are missing. The heavy ehcck,
whioh did the mischief, is said to have continued
about eight seconds, aud it was followed by three
others less severe, the same day. Shooks, more or
leBS severe, were also fell at intervals during eight
consecutive dayH, Binoe which there has been per
fect quiet, aud the work of building and repairing
is now going on as rapidly aa possible.
“It is a singular fact that the destruction was al
most entirely confined to the Moslem quarter of the
city, and ou'y twelve Christians lost their lives.
None of our Protestant friends were injured, though
several barely escaped with life. One womsu,
sister of our native preacher, B. Hohannes, feeling
the waving to and fro of the house, seized her two
little ohildreu and escaped in time to Hee root and
wall come down with a crash where she imd been
sitting. Part, of another house, adjoining curs, was
crushed, but no oue was harmed. Thetwo mission
bouses were injured, but not very seriously.’
Nicahaoiia—Katikication of the Treaty.—
The American treaty pasHeil the .Senate on the “ Id,
and the Chamber of Deputies on the ‘-’Mb, and the
Lamar Zeledon Convention aa modified by the
United Slates, is now confirmed. It experienced
no opposition, as every one was anxious to see the
question between the two governments settlod.
The British treaty, the ratification of which by Her
Majesty’s Government, is made subject to the an
ceptauce of the Mosquito convention as proposed
by England (that is the Dallas-Clarendoo conven
tion) will not probably be accepted. There does
not appear to exist much interest as to whether a
treaty is oi is not concluded with England. Nica
ragua asserts that she would rather bo without the
Mosquito territory than ucoept the terms ottered by
England, and will content herself with protesting
against the poeition assumed by Great Britain.
Nicaragua appears willing to yield to certain points
but sbe insists ou Han Juan del Norte being a free
port under the Nioareguau sovereignty , ehe will
reoogni/.e all grants of land mr.de by British au
thorities, hut not those made by the Mosquito
King ; she is also ready to assign to the lodians
certain lands and the right to govetu themselves
according to their own municipal laws, but she
claims absolute sovereignty over them aud the ter
ritory they are to occupy. The Frenoh treaty,
which iu its major part is a copy of the old Cass
Irlsarri convention, is undergoing close scrutiny,
and iu some parts will be modified. There is no
stipulation as to tonnage dues as in the Oasley
treaty. The right of extradition of deserters from
vessels is granted, whioh England and America
have not obtained. On the foregoing grounds the
Chambeis wish to Btnke out this article.

Crop Prospects in Texas. —The Houston (Tex
as) Telegraph says:—“Notwithstanding this has
been a season memorable for its drought in many
parts of Texas, the cotton planters, thus far, have
uot been seriously affeoted by It or troubled by
the worm in any part of the Mate In many places
the planters will make a good deal more than he
can pick. Where this iB the case, of course his crop
will rank higher and bring the best price. We
verily believe that Texas will send at least 3511,0011
bales if uot 4110,000 to inaiket during the next
commercial year. The sugar cane, as far as we can
hear, is equally promising, and the largest orop of
sugar will be made (hat has ever been realized in
Texas. This, with the increased facilities of trans
portation afforded by the sugar road, will add very
materially to the wealth of that country, already
the wealthiest, to the population, in the United
States.
Cotton Crop in West Florida —We have a
letter, not intended for publication, from a gentle
man, a planter of intelligence and experience, re
siding near Tallahassee, with a memoranda, dated
as follows:
“August 10.— We are having daily and copious
rains. I really do not see what is to become of
our Cotton orops. I tear our bright prospects are
blighted. The Cotton is dropping its forms rapidly,
and the oomplaining is general In the community.

The Opening of Letters Directed to Con
victs. —Yesterday morning a <ae of Considerable
interest, involving the right ol the ofiioers iu oharge
of penal institutions to break the seats and peruse
the contents of letters directed to parsons under
sentence in the State Prisons, Jails and Houses of
Correction, was brought before Milton Andros,
Esq., Assistant U. 8. District Attorney. In this
case, Henry T. Saunders, who is serving a sentence
iu Salem jail for fornication, brings au action
against Deputy Bherifi Khen D. Kimball, for open
ing a letter addressed to him. The case was called,
and the defendant waiving examination, it was sent
to the Grand Jury tor investigation. We are not
aware that a case of this na.ure has ever been tried
in our courts. It has for years been the custom of
wardens or iheir clerks, jailers aud inaeteis of
Houses of Correction to open aud read all letters
received at their respective institutions directed to
prisoners, and all missives written by tte convicts
to their friends. The propriety of thie custom is
too apparent to require defence, and justifies itself.
Without this precaution, prisoners would possess
unlimited opportunities for the formation of plana of
escape, requiring only the concerted action of
tbemfel ves and their friends without to carry them in
to euooesjfuleiecution. There are yetother conside
rations which bear upon the eubjeot, which will
donbtless undergo a thorough judicial investigotion
The leeult of this case will therefore be looked for
with intereet, and not the least, interested parties
will be the prieoneis themselves, for if it is decided
that Iheir letters cannot be opened and read, the
officers of the law can entirely prohibit then re
ceiving letters. The theory of the law is, that con
victs are dead to the world dnriug their ‘mean era

Kev. Daniel Dana, D D., died on Friday at his
residence in Newhuryport. He had nearly reached
his ninetieth year. Mr Dana was an admirable
scholar of the old school of classicists and divines,
an extremely elegant and forcible writer of Eoglish,
aod has always been one of the chief lights of the
Presbyterian Church. Few clergymen were better
known—none more endeared to a very extended
circle. Dr. Dana was lor many years minister of
the First Presbyterian Church in Newhuryport, al
terwards President of Dartmouth College, and
finally a resident of his early home , where,
while unable to fuifil the regular duties of the min
istry, he long officiated as a home missionary.
Dr. Dickson, of London, who was formerly a
medical officer in the British army, disapproves en
tirely of bleeding in cases of sunstroke, but relies
upon arnonia, quinine, and alcoholic stimulants,
aud the prompt application ol oold water to the head.
This is upon the principle that opening a vein di
minishes the power of the heart, alteady deficient,
while the stimulants, being diffusive in their char
acter, at once tend to give vitality to every portion
of the system, and restore the circulation to the
standard of health. Ammonia is preferable to al
oobolic stimulants, as, whilo it is equally prompt
and potent in its action, its application is not attend
