The Washington ('onsiilution, in sudeav-
•ring to convict Judge Douglas of i glesing
inconsistency, not only eucceede in doing
thet, but by the seme disclosure reveals the
‘ double-dealing end hypocrisy of nearly the
whole Dsmocrsiic’psrty North end many ef
them South. It* re-produces e portion of
the proceedings of tbs Senate, in 1864,
the Nebraska blit, to prove that Jodge
Douglas then voted again it an amendment
offered by a Black Republican, declaring
distinctly and ‘honestly that under the bill
and the constitution of the United States
the Territorial Legislature might exclude
slavery. Mr. Chase, of Ohio, had moved
to add after the words, “It being the true
Intent and meaning of this act not to legis
late slavery into any Territory or Slate nor
to exclude it therefrom, but to leave the
people thereof perfectly free to form and
regulate their domestic institutions in their
own way, subject only to the constitution
of the United States," the following—
•'under which the people of the Territory,
through their appropriate representatives,
may, if they tee Jit, prohibit the exittente
of tlavery therein."
Against this amendment, as we have said,
Judge Douglas voted, and for it only ten
Senators—all distinctive Northern Freeeoil-
ors—voted. It was not then the policy of
the Democratic party to avow distinctly that
the Nebraska bill recognised Squatter Sov
ereignty—they preferred to leave the act if
auch a shape that it might receive ont
construction at the North and another at
the South—and ao they voted down Onase’i
ex pi an glory amendment. Mr. Buebahan,
in I860, found it expedient to incline a little
more plainly to avowed Squatter Sover
eignty, and therefore he declared that under
the act “the people of a Territory, like ihote
of a State," Ac.
But now Judge Douglas and nearly the
entire Democratie party North claim and
insist that the Kanaas-Nebraska aot was
designed to reeognixe Squatter Sovereignty
and nothing else—that under it the Ter
ritorial Legislature may exclude slavery
before the formation of a State Government.
The reminiscence shows the insidious pro
gress by whieh a dangerous bsresy bss been
advanced by the Democratic party until it
has now become the great overshadowing
abolition aggression, by which the Northern
crusade against Southern equality in the
Union »• in ha prnsenafed.
Thu First Intimation or the Secret
Latter.
The following editorial article appeared
in the Aoguata Comillutionaiiti of Febru
ary 19tb, I860. No one can reed it
without being satisfied that the editor bed
ailhet seen the Cohen letter or had been
fully “posted" as to its contents by
one who had read it. He could
otherwise have so accurately reported its
substance. The Conttitulionaiiit at (bet
time was making war upon Gov. Urown't
Bauk and Railroad policy and opposing his
re-nomination. It now supports him as the
Democratic candidate, but we believe does
not dsfond his course in reference to the
Banks:
t'rwm the Augusta Constitutional!*!, Fsb. 19.
“Among other metiers of town goeaip,
the banka and Gov. Brown ocoupy some
attention. Thbro la an air of myatery that
senna 10 hang, lika an aunoaphere, around
converaaiinua on these subjects. One can
occasionally connect together enough of (he
links ol conversation to ftnd out that acme
confidential lattare have been written by the
Governor to some of the banka—that the
letter must not get into the newapapera—
that the Governor has sent down e certain
form of oath for the bank oflicora
scribe, and when they do that he and the
banka will get along as “elicit as gooso
urease." * Tue banks team oetoniahed si
the wonderful condescension of the Gover
nor, and take hia proposed oath si readily
na they would discount “A No. 1 paper
with one-quarter off and Intoreat." Some
nftrsona express wonder how the Governor
has grown eu marveloyual great a lavorite
whh the Bank men.
“The new oath prepared-by tho Governor
for the Bank officers to take, (lor it is
S onorally regarded as a private and conB-
ential communication Irom the Governor
to the Banka, and nol intended for tho
public eye, at present,) some persona chat
about with as much confidence aa If they
knew all about It. Inasmuch *• we are not
oficially advised of the future of the oath,
nor ol ite very peculiar phraseology, we
can ohly give the point oi It Irom general
report. 'Hie. Governor considers thaPull
the punishment he could at preeeni inflict
upon the Hanks, lof their non-compliance
time when lie Ordered the Treasurer ol the
Htato not to receive the billa of certain
Banka. The effect of the proclamation, tho
n lo will roniember, was about aa serious
e Banka In Georgia as 11 the Governor
had tasued hia proclamation prohibit'
aun to shine or the wind to blow
Brown found that out when he got
endol hia rope—he found that the people do
not test tho value ol Bank bills by Execu
tive repudiation. The Governor now re
garde the Hank Act of 1867 as of no impor
tance, allot lie violates having been severely
punished by proclamation 1
“The new oath requires tho Banka to tes
tify that thav havo not violated the provis
ions of the Act of 1858 since the passage ol
the lew.
“All the Henke, we understand, readily
testily to that,and thus end all the ‘notes ana
confusion’ which Gov. Brown attempted
when he found the people did not cafe
penny whistle about hie proclamation agaiuat
those institutions, hut took just such money
aa suited them, whether it ploased or die-
pleased Gov. Brown, or was received by the
state Treasurer. The Governor arranged
the oath—It suited the Banka, but whodc-
eervee the crodit of yielding to tho dictates
of good judgment and sound policy the
pub'ic will decide for thenteelvee."
Tin Defeat os tux Host Office Arrao-
rxuTioas.—In hie Auguata speech, in
spooking of the Boat Othee Appropriation
bill, Senator Toombs, of Georgia, aaid—“/
stood with ite fate in my A and, and stamped it
under my feet."
And yet tho Democracy have tried to put
the crushed bill under tbe heels of the
Opposition, and endeavored to throw the
whole responsibility upon thorn. We hope
they now see where the responsibility
properly belongs.—Exchange.
Tbe greeter pert of the money which this
bill appropriated (being Ibe revenue of tbe
poei-otficea of Ibe country) has been uted by
the Department without an appropriation ;
and one of the roost urgent demands upon
the next Congress, when it meeta in Decem
ber, will be te legalise this nse of the money
and to maka up the deficiency. This can
not be evaded, for the Administration baa
given out certificates of indebtedness, whoa?
repudiation would dishonor tha Government.
How short-lived and amply, then, was Mr.
Toombs'boasted Uiumph ! bew silly to brag
of tbs accomplishment of oo silly an act I
Tbe eoly advantage to anybody, that has
resulted from the defeat of tho bill, ie found
in tbe faot that it hae enabled Democratic
candidates tot office to make the quibbling
assertion that tbe appropriations made by
Coagreaa for the current year amounted to
only sixty millions of dollars, when in truth
tbe twenty millions appropriated by the bill
defeats*! by Mr. Toombe bave also been
used or plodged by promise# to pay. But
this is simply in kaepiog with all thsir other
humbugs and deceptions.

Gen. Bethune and Col. Mott*
Gen. Bstucxe, in the last number of tho
Corner Stone, comes out strongly and
unequivocally against Messrs. Howard and
Mott, the Opposition candidates for Repre-
eentativea of Muscogee county, and in a
long article urgas their defeat and tbe elec
tion of tb# Democratic candidates. Wo do
not regret this attempt of hie to interfere
with and control the county election, because
it unmistakably indicates his sympathy with
the Democracy end estranges the Opposition
from ell sympathy with him. We think,
however, that he Will be apt to find on
Monday'next that the Democracy ere not
generous enough to requite very liberally,
his services in their behalf. Be that as it
may—having already ebown thet Messrs,
Mott end Howard are in no way icsponsible
for the Market ordinance, which General
Bethune makes tbe groundwork of his
assault on them—that that ordinance gave
the Council discretion to allow a perfect
“freo trade” in tbe poddling of produce if
it chose to dm so, and indeed • that tbe
Huprems Court decided that it did nut
authorize the Council to do what General
Bethune so strongly objects to—we do not
care to enter upon a discussion of tbe
Markej, question now. Thet is a municipal,
not a county Issue.
But there ie a personal reflection made in
Geri/ Betbune’s article, to which we think
proper to make some reply. He taunta Col.
Mott with being k man whose position in
society ie attributable only to bis wealth—
“outside of this and mere party association,
he his neither hold or claim upon the
people,” Ac. Now, if Col. Mott had been
a rich man by inheritance or other acci
dental circumstance, this objection might
be a plausible*one. But if he has,‘by bis
own boneat, persevering exertions, prudence
end shrewdness, worked his wey from
extreme poverty to hie present independent
pecuniary condition, his very rise end pro-
greet proves the injustice of the taunt. A
man who gjvea through life such evidences
of industry end intelligence cannot he
unworthy of the confidence and the trusts
of bis fellow-men, unless it can he shown
that dishonesty ot oppression has marked
bis course. We undotstend thet Col. Mott
wee as pool a boy as any now to be found
?n Columbus ; that he was bound out as an
apprentice to thi tailoring business, and
honorably tsrved out his term in learning
mat trade (and, by the way, he made the
suit of-clothes in which Gov. Troup was
inaugurated as Executive of Georgia); that
kis subsequent pecuniary improvement haa
been a gradual one, attributable to bis
unflagging indastry and hia soupd judgment
as a business rnsu. Can it be said 'with
truth that a man who lias thue become rich
hae only riches to recommend him 1
In this connection, the important inquiry
ia suggested, How haa Col. Mott used the
wealth thua hardly acquired T Is he tho
oppressor of the poor man, or the ecorner of
the honest industry by which he. acquire’d
bis own fortune 1 On the contrary, he is
still known as a herd-working man and the
liberal employer of many others whu ea
livelihood by the sweat of their brows. His
poor perenla he hi* comfortably supported,
and hi* sister* owe their liberal education to
him. Hia many sola of charity to those
having less claims upon his bounty are well
known in title community. We believe
that he haa for some time kept up, and now
keeps up a school in his neighborhood,
which is freely end gratuitously open to
poor children. If, then, his wealth alone
gives him position aqd respect, he at least
has tbe consolation of knowing that they
ate purchased by moans honorable to him
end beneficial to bis fellow-men. ,
Another Secret Letter l
Col. Jaa. Edmondson, of Murray county,
publishes in tha Atlanta Confederacy a
letter of Gov. Brown addressed to the former.
Tbe'leller Is dated June 1st, 1857, *nd fully
implicates Brown in an intrigue to defeat
tbe nomination of Lumpkin, whom he
called “fha favorite of cherokeA Georgia,”
and who, he feared, would not "remove
Bpullock with ell hie corruption from the
road." Tha letter ia published in all ita
orthographical arid syntactical boauly^juat
aa it came from the pen of Joseph E. Brown,
oud in this respect it much resembles the
secret letter 10 Cohen. Like men engaged
in a secret nefarious intrigue, ho exhibits
great caution in this letter, ia particular in
informing Edmondson who may end who
may not “bo trusted,“ and assuroa E. that
hia letter is “where it will not again ba

Brown had denounced him aa a liar for
saying that lie had it in hia possession.

Let not the reader overlook the letter of
Gen. Joun H. Kick, which we copy from tke
Atlanta Intelligencer of the 98th inst. The
delay in lire publication of tho letter waa
caused by the effort of the editor of th
Intelligencer to persuade Gen. Kies not t>
•have it published. Ha withheld it at first
and wroto to Gen. Rice requesting him not
to insist on its publication, which, consider
ing tha fact that tha letter was written in
responsa io a call on Gan. Hies by the
Intelligencer for e statement of the facte in
the case, must be regarded is rather a cool
proceeding. The letter speaks for ileelf,
end shows that Gov. Brown ia uot mi
observant of good faith towards his o<
religious denomination than towards his
psrly associates. Tbe Intelligencer admits
that it fears some of tha Trustees sustain
the charges of Gan. Hies.
The Democracy of Chatham have
had trouble about their Legislative ticket.
We havo already published the ticket first
announced. At a Democratic meeting held
on tho 98th, two of the noyiinees declined
because of tha manifestation of great dis
satisfaction, and the meeting then repudia
ted tha whole ticket and referred tbo selec
tion of candidates back to a popular meet
ing to be held the next day. At this latter
moeting the following ticket was nomina-
ted : For Senator, Col. A. K. Lawton ; For
Representatives, Julion Haitridga and John
Screven. ^ *

The Form of the Bank Return.
Wv consider it u matter of very little
consequence, so fsr as the Bsnk of Co
lumbus is concerned, in what particular
phraseology it made ite lost return and oath
to the Governor; end therefore we shall not
disco** ‘that question with “A Director,"
who write* in tbe Timet. Our controversy
is not with the Bsnk, for it bed pursued a
course throughout lb* Governor's crussd*
against the other Banks that exonerated it
from suspicion or blame. But we have
proved beyond cavil that tbe Governor
advised returns and oaths to be made in e
form different from that prescribed by law,
and he ie the functionary we ere after. The
law did not admit any limitation aa to timo
fn tbe form of tbe oath; and Gov. Brown's
secret compounding understanding with the
Banks, that in consideration of their mak
ing oath that they had not violated the act
of 1867 since the passage of the act of 1858,
he would connivo at and' past over all
infringements for the intervening year, was
unauthorized and double-fsccd, to lay tbe
least of it. We took the form of the oath
of tbe Bank of. Columbus, with tbe dates
of the oath and statement, from its pub
lished return ; and our subsequent informa
tion that that was not tbe form transmitted
(o tha Governor waa from a ' source Demo-
eralie and official. •
But this “Director" %oea on to say that
the Bsnk of Columbus “has received no
favor or affection from Got. Brown, but that
he has demanded of it an exact fulfillment
of all conditions imposed by the unfriendly
legislation towards the suspended Banks."
The Governor, then, had favorites among
the Banks, and from the favored list he
excluded a Bank that had all tbe time paid
specie and had Hot forfeited its charter!
Dees ibis'help his position any ? It, aa we
must infer from this broad assertion, he
required the Bank of Columbus to prove
that it had not it any time violated the act
of 1057, and excluded it Irom his nice little
constructive arrangement justifying illegal
interest, while at the same time be teertlly
and exclusively tendered to suspended
Banks the favors dehied to it, what ara we
to think of such conduct ? Will tha paopla
ustaiu an officer who syerstly favored the
suspended and refractory institution! on
which he profetted to make war, but de
manded a compliance with ilia full letter ol
the law of a specie-paying Bank to which
ita terms were not, primarily intended to
apply 1 To do a.» would be a curious way
of pOnishing the innocent for the miadeeda

. To the Cotton Planters.
Cotton dealers, and all others who are
familiar with the cotton trade, are well
aware of the fact thet there ie now, and has
been for e long time past, a large amount of
sandy and dusty cottons lying on the New
Orleans, New York, Liverpool end other
markets, almost utterly unsaleable; if any
sales are effected, they are at prices ruinous
to the holders, for tha manufacturer* are
resolved not to touch this description of
cotton except ot prices very far brluw any
thing heretofore paid, and to this conclusion
they bavo been driven in self-defence. Not
withstanding thrsu facia (now so well
known), planters conlinuo to send a great
deal of colton to markat in this condition.
In the Liverpool and Northern markets
the opinion prevails thet ell this sand and
dirt ie intentionally mixed with the cotton
to add to (ho weight, and consequently to
the price. However alsqrd such an opinion
may appear to ua here, it is equally absurd
for the planter to wrjp himself in the
mantle of conscious innocence .of ail auch
intention, and refuse to give heed to the
coufylaiuta oi the consumers, based a* they
ara upon the facts belcre them, to wit: tha
very large proportion of auch cottons in the
aiaiket, involving the greatcalVrnichfuinres
on iheir part in purchasing, lest both purse
end machinery should he ruined by the
Trade. Almost every one hire knows that
in wet wealber, cotton falling out upon the
ground gathers send sod dirt thereby, as
also by the spattering of the raiu on the
lower crop of bolls ; and in this condition
it ia gatkorod, ginned and packed. In
defence of this custom, it is urged by the
planter that to remove the sand aud dirt
requires another process before tho ginning,
end for which consuinere nrd not witling to
pay in just proportion. Homo years ago
“Trasbers" bid fair to coma into general
use; but as it appeared that buyers paid
well for “dirt and all,'' these gradually went
out of use. Perbepe buyers have in former
(Arty tliaii for tlte ctrene^rotton ; they will
nol, however, do oo any longer, ee tbo evil
has become one of auch magnitude as to
call for a change of policy on both sides.
Manufacturers have lound that sandy cation
ia dear at almost any price, unlcse it be so
low as to make sure they are buying it
literally dirt cheap—aud planters will find
it the true economy (o sell cotton and not
dirt. Tfie “Trasbers" must bo brought into
use; they oau be easily made aud at light
expense ; twenty bales of cottoaper day can
bo run through one properly made, and then
tho saving in wear of gin and enhanced
value of tb# (clean) cotton will far more
than compensate lor loss o! weight by
removing tand, which certaiul/ no one
should wish to sell lor cotton. A planter
would bo very unwilling to buy a aack of
tollee which he had reason u, suppose
contained a.considerable proportion of peb
bles and dirt, uniat he could get it el e
price which would warrant hi* picking over
and throwing away a large proportion ul it,
and he surely will not blame the mauulac-
Jurer for desiring to buy bis saudy cotton
on equally favorable terms. *

Corwin In Ohio.
In a long Republican speech, delivered
by Thomas Corwin, in Ohio, we find %ome
good things—too good, in view of the in
ternet excited in the discussion of the ques
tion of “squatter sovereignly/’ to pee* un
noticed. In reply to a remark ay Ham Hous
ton's with regard to inherent rights of in
habitants of a territory, Mr. Corwin said :—
“We have no inherent rights! Home
people on my aide of the river eay that no
man shall take a fugitive slave back from
from here, because he has an inherent right
to freedom. There ie, I tell you, no such
thing as efi inherent right. All our rights
are given us by the ccmpact of the Consti
tution. We see there what right* every
citizen shall have, and what rights every
man in the States shall h«ve. It was tail
ed by the blood of your fathers, sanctified by
tho martyrdom of your fathers, arid he is a
recreant dog who will not fulfil the compact
of your fathers. There is no such thing aa
sovereignly in these States; God alone is
sovereign, as well as omnipotent. Your
President is not sovereign, although he tries
to set like it; but have you nol observed
that there iran incongruity between sover
eignty and its pretension 1 No such thing
as sovereignty exists in this country, except
in you—God help you ! Shabby sovereigns
•Weare! [Repewed laughter.] The man
that'bas the right'to go to the ptflla and vote
for whom be pleases, that man is in that
particular e sovereign, and has upon him
«il the responsibilities of a sovereign. That
freedom of will wherewith il ba* pleaded
Almighty God, aa I think sometimes, to
curse human nature; that freedom of will
is not permitted to any roan for all lime, but
to the. voting man on the day of election—
Demagogues often tell you this*. They tell
yon the truth in this, and that, ia aM the
truth they do tell you ; and you do uot be
lieve it, or, if you do, then you do not act
like sensible sovereigns. By the wey, I in
clude myself in sll ibis."
A very interesting part of the speech re
lates to Judge Douglav, whose recent de
fence of squatter sovereignty attracts so
rpuch attention at present.
Judge Douglas claims consistency—a
claim to which, we have shown, he is not
titled. Mr. Corwin quotes from a Doug
las speech of 'fiO.which places him m extreme
antagonism to hie present position. He is
for squatter sovereignty—he was then
for Congressional sovereignty over tbe ter
es to ubolilion extremity. In.the speech
of 1850, Judge Douglaa, after referring to
series of Congressional acta excluding err-
tin classes of property from the territories,
says :
The law also prohibits certain other de
scriptions of business irom being carried on
in the territories. I am not, therefore, pre
pared to say under the constitution, we bave
not power to pass luwa excluding slavery
from a Territory.”
Mr. Corwin aematka
“My Brother Democrat, who do you aup-
fose said that I said something like it,
hut I did not say that. That was the speech
of Stephen A. Douglaa in I860. You can
read it in your hooka in thb debate.
“Well, now, I bave given you, my fellow
citizen*, the law as it haa been decided by
every department of tbe Government for six
ty years, upon the doctrine of squatter sov
ereignty—the decision against it by the
very inan who ia now appealed to aa the
great leader of that doctrine. He haa chang
ed hi* opinion—ho wants to get back to
the “go-devil." That is what he is after.—
Mr. Douglaa ia a very respectable gentleman,
and a man of considerable talent—to am I,
[laughter;] but I differ with him on that
|toil)!, and I have the advantage of standing
by the sido of Washington, who put bis
hand upon my head and aaid : “My son,
you am right ;" and laid bis hand upon 8 e*
phen's head, an I said t “You must go to

pany like that I am content to remain."
William Peun and Peter the Great,
F.mprror of Russia.
In tho year 1097, William Penn had an
interview with the Czar of MuscoVy, since
celebrated in history ae Peter the Great.—
Tilts tMiicrprlsiun monarch.to inform hints**'
concerning the arts and manufactures of
qgliona more civilized then his own, spent
some time in Holland and England, where
he desired to remain incognito, and even
worked as a ship carpenter. When he was
in Deptford, YVilliain Penn, knowing that
this monarch understood no other language
than Russian and German, Waited on him
to present him with some German hooka,
explanatory of Friends' principles, and was
cordially received. Penn, conversing fluent
ly in German, spoke to the ambitious con
queror in his usual mild and dignified man
ner about tho folly, baghaiity and criminali
ty of waging war, and the sacred duly and
blessed results ol preserving peace. Tho
grand monarch, so very much inclined to
break out in the most violent rage at any
thing which displeased him, listened not
only with patience, but with tho greatest
attention, aud dismissed Penn with the
most equivocal signs of esteem,. The im
pression he had received by this conversa
tion appears to have been lasting, for on the
lie 'declared his bgluved ('atluriae.wtih mucE
pomp and many ceremonies, as his lawful
consort and Empress of Russia, he aaid
“It would pethapa be much better if, in res
pect to war, all the nations of tho world
would adopt the principles of the Quakers.”
In tho year 1712, being in the city of Fred-
erickstadl, in Holstein, with an army to
assist the Danes against the Hwedes, ho
inquired if there were any Quakers there.—
Being told that there were some, he asked
if they had a meeting house, and being in-
answered in the infirtnative, he desired tbe
Burgomaster of th* city to inform them that
if they would appoint a meeting, he would
attend it. The Burgomaster arid there could
he no such meeting, because thirty soldiers
were quartered in the meeting houae. Pe
ter ordered them to be removed immediate
ly, and the houso to he putin order; which
being done the meeting waa appointed, and
lie attended whh a number or his officers.—
One of the Quakers preached in th* Get-
man language, and Peter interpreted, ob
serving at the close of the meeting, that
whoever cnulJ live according to that doctrine
would he happy.
Naoto Slaves in .Mimouu—We learn-
e.l this morning, from a gentleman ol the
highest intelligence, and formerly a citizen
of Lalsyette county, in this State, that he
has authentic information, that tha safe* of
Slave* in th* Missouri river counties have
been enormous this year, and that the re
ceipt* of money Irom that source have a
material effect on the money market, easing
matters most palpably. The prices obtained
are high, and tbe Slave* are taken invaria-
bly to the 8oulh—to the Cotton Htatos.
The groa* receipts of money to Missouri

Rio Grande aud Pacific Railroad.
Tbe length of the propoeed interbceanic
railway, through -Ibe Northern States of
Mexico, which was on* of tbe principal sub
ject* of the late negotiation* at Vera Cruz,
is estimated it about 550 miles. -It starts
from oome point on the Rio Grando, to be
afterwards determined, eoJ runs in nearly
a dnrcl line through the 8tates of Ta'mau-
lipas, Coahuil* end New Leon, Durango
and Sinaloa, to tbe port of Mazatlen, on
the Pacific. The route is eminently e fa
vorable one by nature, running tbe whole
distance through one of the most delightful
climates in the worjtl, and though attaining
on the table lands an elevation of wro* 5000
feet, overcoming it by grades ao gentle, as
scarcely to be noticeable. The country is
said, moreover, to be for the moat, unbroken,
and therefore requiring no costly engineer-
iqg, while abundant materials of construc
tion, of the best qualities, are found all along
tbe route.
Tbe feasibility of the work, indeed, long
since attracted the attention of those who
bed given most thought to such subjects ;
and some years ago, in 1853 or 1854, wo
believe, a company waa actually organized,
styled the “Rio Grande Mexican and P«cif-
,ic I\oilroed Company," whieb received the
necessary charter privilege* from 8anta
Anna, then supreme in lyicxico. But the
revolution, ever impending in this miscall
ed republic, quickly followed, and the grant
was,by Comonfott,annulled,on what ground
we do dot now remember, probably because
it wss conceded by his predecessor. The old
company, however, has still, we believe, a
nominal existence, denies the validity of the
Comonfort decree, and has several times ap
pealed to our Government for protection in
it* rights, but without success; and ihui
nothing whatever haa bern done towards
the reaffzation of the enterprise. The pro-
ject had, indeed, almost passed out of the
public mind, till ite late revival at Vera
Cruz.
Nor is it ptobable that snother attempt
will ever be made practically to realize it,
till the country comrs into our bends, ot till
at least, some such full right of eelf-protec
tion, as that asked for by Mr. McLane, by
force of arms, if necessary, shall have been
granted. So distracted hat become (he con
ditionof Mexico, and so unaafs life and prop
erjy, especially in the Northern States of
the Republic, that the attempt would li
worse than folly. And nothing, in all the
late unfortunate negotiations at Vera Ci
ia more (6 be regretted than that, know
snd confessing this, the Jaarez Government
had not the courage to act up to its convic
tions. For, though nothing can compensate
ua for tbe Tehuantefec route, which must
ever be, as it waa made by nature, the cheap
est and everyday the best great transit routi
to our possessions in California, few enter
prises are more inviting or better calculated
to hasten the development of the Southwest
than that we are now considering. Th
ports with which it would connect on th>
Pacific are not only excellent in themselves
but easily accessible; while on the Kio
Grande it would counect, more or less di
rectly, with tbe numerous great railroad
lines—among them the Pacific railroad—
now progressing so rapidly in Texas,
through them with all parts of the Federal
Union.

cultivation and with such rich promise

Gentlemen.—In vqur paper of the . 17th
inst., under the captain—“Gov. Brown and
the Cberukec Baptist Colleyo.’^you were
pleased to uao my name in a manner that
calls for a correction, on my part, of the
statement therein nrade relative to Gbvernor
Brown's promised donation In said College,
in order to “vindicate tbe truth of Imtory."
It ia true l am for Col. Akin for Govern
or, though a Democrat; yet I think I am
no partisan, and trust that I can always do
Governor Brown, or any other man, full
handed justice. I regret, however, that you
thought it necessary to ujo my name tn
connection with this matter, for the reason
that I am no public man, in the cuinmon
meaning of that expression ; no politician,
and never intend to be one. and hence dis
like being brought before the public.
J propose to give you an unvarniabed
statement of fiicts, as I understand them, af
ter mature reflection, and after consulting
with several other* wiio were present on the
occasion, and know what I know; and Have
the woild to judge whether they do Govern
or Brown-honor, or militate against him.
“I shall nettling extenuate, nor set down
aught in malice." •
Oh ihe 22J February, 1854, I believe it
was, Gov. Brown attended a meeting of the
friends of the Cherokee Baptist College, at
Cassville. That meeting convened for the
purpose of considering, and condemning or
apjirnvmg the action alicady taken by the
Board of Trustees. Tho College building
had been located on a six acre lot, whereon
the Baptist Church, at Cassville, now stands.
Gov. Brown made a speech before said
meeting, in which—and in Convention be
fore and after—lie pledgeij himself to donate,
or procure hia friend* to donate to said Col
lege, a large amount, (I think the amount
was !j» 10,000) provided tho Trustees would
obligate themselves to change the location
of the building, nnd purchase not less than
200 acres of land, mostly, to be woodland,
as * site for aaid College building, and thrn
bind themselves, by inverting a clause in
the charter, to perforin and cany out the
following conditions or programme, in cod-
bcction with said (School, to-wU :
1st, That a Steward's Hull should be
erected,and ail Students bo required to board
2nd, That the Steward shoulT bo hired
for a salary, and furnish board to tbe stu
dents at prime cost, and thus reduce the
price—leaving no chance to speculate by
high price* fog board.
3J, That every student be compelled to
wear tbo nmo kind of clothing, and tho rich
and l>o&r be put Opon teims of perfect equal-
«iy-
These were the conditions imposed by
Gov. BroWn, and all that I remember. A
committee was appointed to draft and [ay
these propositions before the Board nf Trus
tees—ail of which was done. A few days
after, the’ Board convened, and resolved t<>
accept and adopt tho conditions piopoeed
—regnrdmg it an experiment, but were wil
ling, for the consideration proposed, to give
it a fair trial ; and I. us the Secretary of the
Boards, so lioliiird Gov. Brown.
The Board at once proceeded to perform
tho first und most important condition of
changing the location, and purchased 207
acres of land of Dr. Hatton, fer $1,500, ami
located the buildings thereon. They did
not have tho other conditions impoved upon
them by obtaining an amendment to the
charier, aa they resolved to do, for the rea
son, that aa they were to umli ilake to carry
out the conditions f. r a consideration, tn-
wit: the $10,000 or other I r a sum, they
desired that Governor Brown would give
his mutual obligation to p/rform on his
purl, and thi* the Hoard ol Trustee* nlwnya
understood he declined to do ; at least, the
Rev. Mr. Dyer, tho Agent of the Bosrd, vis-
i|ed Gov. Brown—bid a conference with
him, and on life return so reported his refu
sal to ihe Board. The Bo.irJ shouldered
the Urge debt for the land as best they could,
and thcro the mattor dropped. I know that
litany, if not nil the Board ol Trustees,ye//
that they hud been badly "sold
In justice to truth, nnd upon tho state
ment by you, that you would admit any
correction of your statement, I r* quest (hat
you will insert thia communfe-ntioii in your
