The Comer Slone this week again devote* ita whole rditonal battery to an attack upon John Bell ami a defence of the Democracy, and a large ehate of ita shot into the Bell camp ia directed especially at ut. Wishing •ome sort of justification, wc cuppo*c, for the personalities tunning through its two- column “leader,” it proclaims that we hod lost our ternprr and indulged in ill-humor in our reply to its article of last r.etk ! Now, we assure the Corner Slone, in all sincerity, that nothing pleases us belter than it* open and avowrd opposition to our cause, and it discloses an undue amount of sensitiveness in taking to itself our anti thetic remaik about the “adder.” No forced construction even can torture our language into anything elso than a eontraat ol the candid course of the Corner Stone with the nature of the reptile mentioned. We arc accused of endeavoriug to excite ogainsl the Corner Stone thoae members of our patty “who ore iia supporters.” This is a charge that carries with it ita own refu tation, for if they are supporters and render* of the Corner Stone, they can decide for themseive- whether we fairly or unfairly rrpresent its course, and will not be guidid by our rafiri-Boniation. And wo feel quite sure that (hero is not a member ol our patty, taking 'ho Corner Stone, who has not won dered that we have not sooner and oftener noticed its illiberal course towards our can didates—an much in contrast with its course towards Mr. Buchanan in I860, who was undeniably obnoxious to the very charges which it now ur.faiily inskes against Mr. Bell.

If this is art innuendo thil wo am | not equally independent and candid, it ia I whjlly untrue ; and aa we recollect once before seeing in that paper somo remark that wo thought contained such an insinu ation, we take this occasion, much as wo dislike and always avoid any allusions per sonal to ourself, to make a remark or two uboul the nature of our connection with the Enquirer and the eourso of tl.o paper under our management. NVn took charge of the paper with (ho (..press stipulation that we should conduct it politically in our own way, and wo have never, sinco our con nection with it, consulted n living soul in reference to its course on any political ques tion. We do not say this by wsy ol boast of our independence, for w« recognize the policy, if not tho strict propriety, of con sulting friends in reference to party move ments ; hut rather an an apology to our party friends for what may liavo seemed an indilT. rcnco to their feelings and opin ions. The truth is, no one man can bestow which wc bestow upon the Enquirer, and have any time left for canvassing tho opin ions of hia party associates ; the necessary seclusion imposed by his office duties must prevent it. Hence we havs hern compelled to rely wholly upc resources and our own judgment, to tuke counsel only of our own sense of right and jpatice, and to write only our own opinions. Nor have wo been at oil backward in expressing our opinions decidedly upon all questions, with out wailing to see what waa the sentiment or would he the course of the party with which we have generally acted. In proof ol this, wo may state that ours was the first paper in (Jcorgia to advocato the rovival of the African slave trade; the first to de nounce and oppoao the revolutionary propo sition to make tho election of a Black Ke- putlicun President a pretext for dissolving the Union; and the first to hoist the names Mr .pttl.l attention will b« given to collection., | Lu.l and Evnm .nd cnler vigoron.ly, iff to business In the Probata Courts of Macon and with ready facts and relerences, into their Marion Bethuue, ATTORNEY AT l.AW, Talbotton, Geargla.

Tbo fact that ho duos not own them would bo ol no sort of conse quence per te ; but it must be regarded in view of the other facts, that his supporters have violently a*«ailed us nti enemy to the South John Bell, who derives all his in come from slave labor, and has all his life been closely identified with what he call* “this so much abused institution”; tl.nt Breckinridge, being a man of capital, is abundantly able to own slave*, but clioosis to invest hi* money at the North and live* ui a slave State “with no property listed, either real or personal”; and that he be longs lo a lauiily not, d for its opposition to slavery and ita advocacy ol emancipation.

ParU.ul^alUDUao ftveu tu coUseUoos. j son lo believe that on two prominent ques tions, since our connection with tho Enqui- j rer, we have run counter to tho general | sentiment of our paily — we allude to the I African slave trade and our defence ol Gen. Walker against tho chargo of piracy or filt- buslerism—hut this fact did not ubatu the zeal with which wc sustained our own opin ions while those questions were up for discussioo. We claim, therefore, for the Enquirer a grraU r degree of independence than that exhibited by any paper which professes to be independent of parlies, but which Is at the same time hide-bound in prejudice and idiosyncracie*. And we ap peal to the Democracy of this city to sus tain ua in the assertion thet we have always extended lo them courtesiea which our own party have never enjoyed at tho hands of a Democratic pres*. We have never refused • place in our columns to any communica tion because it advocated views or udducid facts iu oppoaitton to our own cause, and il has never beet, complained of us that we unfairly stated the positions ol a political opponent and refuted to set him right when informed of tho error or injustice. Can a Democratic paper in Georgiu make a similar statement in the face of ile opponents? We ask the indulgence of our readrra for troubling them with these rciusrk* of m ! persona! character. They are aware that 1 we are not in tho habit of rinnmg iu j that way. But we thought the occasion a fitting one to aay aomo thing* which per haps ought in juitice to ourself to have been said sooner. * ^ ^ ^ Kentucky lilectlon—Official Vote. Fkankfort. An-. 31.—'The official vote ol Kentucky lor Clerk of the Court of Ap peals ia aa follows : Comb* (»8,054, McClarty 45,076, Bolling 10,874, Hopkins 4,904. We call the attention of tbe Montgomery Mail to the fact that thu aggregate vote is only 14,662 leas than the unexampled heavy vote of last year. What becomes of ita 40,000 deficit, and ile “belief" in the state ments of its Kentucky exchanges! And wa know that at least 1000 scattering votes are not included in the above report. Tbo Timet will see that if aa nfany aa SO 000 Douglas Democrats voted for Combe, and they should vole for Douglas in No vember, it woulJ not affect the result, but would still give tbe State to Bell, and run Douglaa up near Breckinridge. Hopkine, as well aa Bolling, ia for Douglas. T«a Mobt Excocaauiao Sia« Y*t.—Tbe New York Tribune daily devotee nearly iu entire editorial page to a fuailade of Bell ■ nd Everett and tbe Union men of New York, while it toully ignores the exigence ul Breckinridge and Lane. (Jen. Taylor"; that “ilu-ir (ibe Democratic) candidates, whether from the North or the South, whether slaveholders or not, were sound upon llio slave question, and sounder upon that, *s upon all other questions, than the candidates of the Opposition, whether from tho North or the South, whether slave holder! or not.” ••Did you ever E* Ju*t about us I expected ol u paper that Im* turned ns many “huIum" und camera us tho Corner Stone has for the lust few months. First it avowed neutrality ; then a speech and dials of lllsck Kepuhlicniiisin; then i-qualterisin — a dish for Douglus ; then Ureck, and anti-»quatt< rism, diaUliioliisii^ Ac. Tho various positions, corners snd “side*” that the Corner Stone has turned 1 much of a homely story I once hoard ol uu old one-eyed schoolmaster. Il ran aomo- what in this wise : That tbo schoolmaster was very cross and abusive to hia acholar* —that he had a very mischievous boy in school, who, if possible, was always on tho blind side of his teacher, making sport and fuu of him for the ainuecmenl ol his Id- Jows, and for which thu master flogged him of:en and aevorely. The only revenge ilia hoy could get was, when ho relumed from the whipping-stand to his fellows, to curse him for on old seven-aided aon ol a b — h ! On one occasion the master overheard him, and called him buck to the whipping-eland, and very sternly told him if he could not prove or show that he hod seven sides, he would thrash him again badly. Well, sni.1 tho boy, I can do it. Go nil then, said tho master. Boy begins: There's your right side and your left side—two ; thore’s your lore side and your hind side—four; there * your Insido and jour outside —six. Now, says the master, there’* sii; show mo llio seventh, or I'll give you Jessy. Well, said the hoy, there's your dung-d blind aide ! The Corner Slone is now on tho “dang-d blind aido,” can only see how to inoko a few garbled extracts ol Mr. Bell’s supposed j errors. It can't see any of tbe errors in Mr. Breckinridge’s record—only sees o lew of j tho sharp splinter* in the Yancey disunion plunk ol the platform, auch u* ‘\'0> form a ; Houlhern Confederacy,” “To let the Union slide,” ‘To firo the Southern heart,” “To precipitate the cotton Slates into a revolu- | lion,” Ac. But 1 must do the Corner Stone the jus tice to say lhal it waa not expected for it to attach itself lully—body, soul and (*ll but tbe) breeches—to any potty or faction but a disunion one, the Yancey-Breckinridge faction. Now, since the Corner Stone, has made its lute summersault from Territorial •overeiguty and Mr. Douglas to anti-sover eignty and Yoncryism. any man certainly can see, if not intentionally blind, llir ele ments of diaunioniain in the Breckinridge lection—as all who read the Comer Slone know ita avowed hatred to tho Union. Mr. Editor, my preference of uii the can didate* for President is Mr. Boll—and I think him tho most avsi'able to defeat the Northern and Houlhern factions, the Black Republican* and Fire Eatirs. But il 1 can bo convinced, or if I am herealter convin ced, that Mr. Dougiaa is the most available, I shall reluctantly vote for hiru. Union men ! Whigs, Democrats and Americans! atand firm lo your posts. Breck inridge, Yancey A Co. lead tho forces of our enemies againet Bell anJ Douglas in the South.
