TO THE. VOTERS, OF MURRAY COUNTY, GEORGIA. Ftixotr-CiTiZEK*: An apology, perhaps, is due fiom me fur not having noticed, at an earlier day, the address of Major Mark A. C-ooper, in reply to one previously made by me to you just before the late October election. If so, suffice it to say, that ciicumstances beyond my control, together with severe and pro tracted bodily indisposition, have occasion ed the delay. I trust, however, that the lapse of time which ha» intervened, has only rendered you more capable of dispas sionately considering and correctly deciding upon the points in issue between us. Con troversies ol a personal character, involving matters of fact and questions ot veracity, 1 know, are generally quite uninteresting, if not disgusting, to the public, and perhaps to no one more so than myself; but some times they become necessary as well for the vindication or the truth,for the “truth’s sake,” as that the reckless and corrupt,who seek hv improper means to deceive and mislead their “countrymen,” may be pro- perly exposed, and receive that indignation from a discerning continually which jus-j lice requires, and which seldom fails to be awarded. It is for this reason I appear be fore you again. In the discussion at Spring Place be tween Mr. Stiles and myself, I stated no thing in relation to Major Cooper’s con nexion with the Western Insurance and Trust Company of Columbus, “a chartered monied institution,” with greater “exclu sive privileges” than any bank in the State, which was not strictly true, and in my opinion justified by the circumstances.— But it is the “galled jade that winces,” and hence Major Cooper’s excitement at the lime. The object ol my publication after wards was to silence misrepresentations— that all might be informed of the cliracter and extent of my statements—and that Major Cooper might have an opportunity of assuming the responsibility ot entering a denial, if he chose, in such a manner as to be met. This he has done, joining with me in four issues of fact. And it is lor me now, after the excitement of ilic election is over, to show you how much he hazarded in so doing. Two of the points of difference between us, (denominated by Major Cooper as “misstatements and untruths" in my ad dress,) I deem it unnecessary to pay fur- ilier attention to than to give a passing no tice. The first of these (which is the last in his order) is my statement that “lie was not present (at the discussion) until called in bv some friends for the purpose of crea ting confusion.” This he says is not so, and that “I knew it was untrue;” that he “was called in not to create, but to prevent confusion.” Of this you may be the judges. There was no disturbance or confusion un til he was called in ; and if his object was not to cause, but prevent what ensued, he was certainly most singularly unfortunate in bis object, as well as unsuccessful in his efforts. The other of the minor points of differ ence (which stands first in his order) is wherein he charges me with an attempt to make the impression upon the public mind that “he was connected with a ‘chartered company’ of large ‘privileges,’ operating in Columbus at the time of his noniina- it will be generally admitted that lie knows how to make a living in other ways besides fanning. But u seems that the true cha racter of his genius was never before fully developed, or, if so, wholly overlooked: lor, amongst all the other attributes of great ness, he may now lay equal claims to the possession, in an eminent degree, of the powers of logic. And (he loregoing speci men, transcending any thing to be tound in the writiugs of Bacon or Aristotle, may be treasured up by his future biographer as One of the latest examples of the Wonderfnl “triumphs of the hnmnn mind, By truth illumined and by taste refined.” daily business of banks, and, yet such was never before construed into circulation.’’— Now.read the fullowing.frorn the statement alluded to: “ The Company went into operation the 1st January, 1339, after pay- ing 10 per cent, premium for the clear char ter. Since that time they have made divi- dends.ol 49 per cent', on the capital slock, leaving, after paying for their charter, 39 per cent., ot from 9 to 10 per cent, per an num. They commenced winding up their business about the 1st of April, and on the 25lh of May had reduced the deposite list from $90,000 to near $3,600.” Nyw from these two statements oDe thing is clear, Of the powers and merits ol this mdiinl ‘“mtStf SStTof d“us"te ft,r raayC ^ JUd = lS T.'suVd bv the Company never exceeded (who assume a degree of presumption mea sured only by the extent of the emergency,) asserts that my statement that his “com pany did issue something intended to an swer the purpose of circulation under the name of certificates of deposite, or some other title*, is untrue ; and that I bad a fair opportunity to know that it was untrue.’’ in bis estimation, seems to be the main point in issue between us. It was ny between the this that acted like caustic upon the nerves ?. K \ .. .„ ’ ■ . „ -it...

They could not have been the kind to which l alluded, for they, Major Cooper says, never exceeded $1.0U0or $5,000. Then why. I of the system.

This was to make the impression that Major Cooper and his party, in “principle and in practice,” were opposed to such orders and institutions, and that they,professing tub* Democrats, were the real friends of tlio people.

LaGrange, Ga., Dec. 21. 1843. 9wl(* ADMINISTRATORS’ NOTICE OUR MONTHS after date, application will be made to the Honotable the Inferior the attempt, that the feelings became ex asperated at tbe exposure: and the last ex pedient for desperate cases was resorted to; that is, "broad, downright, unqualified de nial." To this course I have no objection, or to the issue which has been joined. The consequences must be borne hy those who assume the responsibility. I stated to yon distinctly that Major Cooper’s company did issue “ceitificates of deposite,” intend ed to answer the purpose of circulation j that “1 had seen them, and had them, and knew it to be true.” I had received them and passed them as money ; and in thi matter as in the others, I ant willing that lion," in which he says, I “deceived and . y CU should also be the judges, misled vou, and misrepresented him.” In j And in confirmation of wli reply to this, I refer to the address wherein it is stated as plainly as language can make it—so clearly that no one could misuml chat I asserted. mau occupying the station of Maj. Cooper. For it was to be presumed that, however little he might be iuliuenced by personal considerations, or a regard for himself, a due sense of obligation at least to that 1 trge and respectable party in the State, who had j for the time being given him such promi nence in the coun’ry as lo place him at the head ol their ranks, would have restrained him in w us degtee iu the latitude of his assertions. In the first place he says, that “eighteen months ago lire stockholders of the Compa ny determined lo close their business for the simple reason that, after all illeslaiabrs and lies told of th-nr, they did not realize more than eight percent. Therefore the Company closed its office, drew out the »ress, and ur. vv imam ». employ, ot eo stand—not that at the time of his nomina tion ; but that, during the previous “fall, winter, and spring,” when different indi viduals of bis party—he amongst the rest— were spoken of as suitable candidates to be run by them for Governor, he was con nected with such an institution, and was the n»n finally selected. As to tlie time h;a company “quit business,” or “ceased operation*,” I made no statement. And does Major Cooper deny that during the previous “fall, winter, and spring,” he was so connected ? or was, if you please, at the head of that “huge monopoly 1” He does not. Sj far from it, he does not say that he was disconnected from that company even up to the time of penning his address. For, mark his language: He says, “it (the company) had (at the time of his nomina tion) quit business;" and he “was not (then) connected with any chartered in stitution doing business." The time they “quit business” you will see hereafter, was about tbe 25th of May last, a very short lime before the nomination. But 1 appre hend lire truth to be that, even up to the time he wrote his address, he was still at the head of the same company, (which seems like an engorged beast of the forest, only to have retired for a season to digest its ravenously devoured prey,) else how could he oiler lo sell me theeharter ? Then, fellow-citizens, who attempted to deceive you 1 I. who slated in this particular what even Major Cooper did nut venture to de ny ; or he, who, (having for three or four j, ank , mll , „r other kitiils of paper circulation years derived all the advantages of the most “exclusive and odious monopoly’’ , , , , .. , . . , ; capital, paid off all obligations, and actually I ask you to read the following s«a«™ots ! q „ t business belo.e the nomination.” N ow they are Horn as worthy, respectable an » ^ s consi>l wj(h lbe lacl pubiish . honorable men, as five ... .be State sued. , ^ a h ^ c commenc'd as the Rev.
