was. _
Railroad car wheels are now made of pa

It. R. Cuvier think of this, were he to come
to life?
Dr. Janes, Commissioner of Agriculture,
has resigned, and the Governor has appoin
ted Col. J. T. Henderson of Newton coun

The Constitution wants the legislature to
unearth and punish the thieves who have
stolen the lands of the people, and brought
Goldsmith to disgrace.
We greatly regret to hear that Mr. Thos.
A. Hobby formerly of this place, now of
Hancock county, recently lost his residence
by fire. Nothing was saved.
North-east Georgia has recently lost two
of her best citizens—Mr. Jessie F. Langs

The Hood “Babios” fund lias not reached
$3,000 In Georgia. Georgia should not stop
short of $5,000. The Constitution is doing
Its whole duty and more in this behalf.
The House of Representatives has passed
the bill to allow Col. Peterson Thwcatt to
sue the State. That’s fair. Let us have
this matter settled, as to the Col’s, claim.
Isn’t our contemporary of the Telegraph
and Messenger in error, in charging ex-Gov.
Brown with re-opening “the old wound?”
It strikes us that Gov. Brown was first at
tacked.
We think, after reading Gov. Brown’s
defense, and Mr. Garrard’s reply, the latte r
might well exclaim with Hamlet, “I have
shot roy arrow o’er the house, and hurt my
brother.”

It is probable that the troubles in the
England cotton mills with their operatives
have been reconciled by their acceptance of
of 25 per cent, reduction in wages. They
were to go to work yesterday.
The Daily Post, Atlanta, has passed to

an enlargement of the paper, with other
Improvements. We are pleased to note its
prosperity, and hope it may reach its second

We like a sensible speech, whether we

The intelligent compositor and the en

If the Centennial at Savannah is not a
grand success, it will not be the fault of
Messrs: Ludden and Bates. These gentle

few days bring out a handsome volume of
over three hundred pages, giving a full and
authentic history of the city of Macon-

reference. Mr. Butler lias bestowed great
care and industry in getting up the work-
Mauy things in this book will interest the

A friend at our elbow suggests that the
legislature should do two things, if the
members wish to carry home with them
their own respect, and receive the plaudits
of the people, well done, good and faithful
servants. That is they should prohibit the
members from receiving free passes on rail
roads. and as a corrolary, dock their day’s
pay when absent on [>ersonal business.
These free passes cause much of the absen
teeism so justly charged against many mem
bers of the present legislature.
Ex-Gov. Joe. E. Brown has replied
through the Constitution to the attacks
made upon him by two members of the
House. The ex-Govemor is a whale, and
when he slings his gray goose quill in self-
defence, the fur will fly from whatever it
touches. This attack upon Gov. Brown
was fortunate for him, as it gave him an
opportunity to explain his connection with
the prosecution of the Columbus prisoners,
and thus remove the odium that has rested
-upon him for years on account of a misun
derstanding of his position in the case.
John W. Forney says that Grant might
get a unanimous support for president, if
he was to plant hi«**lf squarely on a plat

THE COMPACT OF UNION.
In the exposition of facts which we have
adduced, to sustain the existence of the
sovereignty of the States, wo have hereto
fore made no allusion to the Virginia and
Kentucky resolutions which were adopted
by the Legislatures of those States in the
year 1W8. They were adopted to expose
and resist the assumption of unauthorized
power in the passage of the celebrated
“Alien and Sedition Laws,” during the ad
ministration of John Adams who succeed
ed General Washington in the Presidential
chair. It would take several columns ot
our paper to explain the origin and purport
of those laws, and to lay in full before our
readers the resolutions above referred to,
the acts of the States in reference to them,
and the exciting history of the times in
Which the country became so greatly
alarmed at the usurpations of the Federal
Government. We will, at some time in the
future, furnish a brief history of them all,
because they illustrate a pivotal point of
extraordinary interest in the history oi
our country and its government. At pres
ent all that wo need for our purpose is a
brief statement of the doctrines conveyed
in the resolutions.
One cf the Virginia resolutions says:
“Resolved, that this Assembly doth expli
citly and peremptorily declare, that it views
the powers of the Federal Government as
resulting from the compact to which the
States are parlies, as limited by the plain
sense and intention of the instrument (the
constitution) constituting that compact, as
no further valid than they are authorized
by the grants enumerated in that compact;
and that in case of a deliberate, palpable,
and dangerous exercise of other powers,
not granted by the said compact, the
States, who are parties thereto, have the
right, and are in duty bound, to interpose,
for arresting the progress of the evil, and
for maintaining, within their respective
limits, the authorities, rights, and liberties
appertaining to them.” The General As
sembly then proceeds to state in the resolu
tions, that the Federal Government mani
fested a disposition to enlarge its powers
“so as to consolidate the States, by degrees,
into one sovereignty, the obvious tendency
and inevitable result of which would be, to
transform the present Republican system
of the United States Into an absolute, or at
least a mixed monarchy.”
Every idea or sentiment in tiio series of
the Virginia Resolutions, maintained the
independence and sovereignty of the States.
We now make only a single extract from
the Kentucky Resolutions as follows: “And
that whenever the General Government as
sumes undelegated powers, its acts are un-
authoritative, void, and of no force; that to
this compact each State acceded as a State;
and is an Integral party, its co-Statesform
ing as to Itself the other party; that this
Government, created by this compact, was
not made the exclusive or final judge of the
extent of the powers delegated to Itself;
since that would have made its discretion,
and not the Constitution, the measure of its
powers; but that, as id* all other eases of
compact, among parties having no common
judge, each party has an equal right to
judge for itself, as well of infractions as of
the mode and measure of redress.”
We have shown that several ot the .sover
eign States when they ratified the constitu
tion, expressly declared, each for itself, that
they would resume the powers delegated
whenever they should deem it necessary to
their safety and happiness—that is they
would withdraw from the union. None
more emphatically declared this than the
great State of New York, and in the con
vention which ratified the constitution and
declared they would resume the delegated
powers if necessary for their happiness,
were some of her greatest and most dis
tinguished men, among whom were the
distinguished Alexander Hamilton and the
learned Chancellor of the State, Robert R.
Livingston.
We must not pass over the testimony
borne by certain New England States, in
1814, in favor of State sovereignty and the
right of a State to secede from the union.
We allude to their declarations in conven
tion at Hartford, Connecticut. Among their
declarations was the following: “But in
case of deliberate, dangerous and palpable
infractions of the constitution, affecting the
sovereignty of a state andliberties of the peo
ple, it is not only the right but the duty of
such a State to interposo its authority for
their protection in the manner best calcu
lated to secure that end. When emergen
cies occur which are either beyond the
reach of the judicial tribunals, or too pres
sing to admit of the delay incident to their
forms, States tohich hare no common umpire
must be their own judges and execute their own
decisions.” How very similar is this lan
guage to that of the Virginia and Kentucky
resolutions, which were drawn up by Mr.
Jefferson the great apostle of Democracy.
Tiiat those States did intend to withdraw
from the union admits not of tho shadow
of a doubt, and it was to be done, too, when
the country teas engaged in a war with Png-
land, to the continuance of which they were
opposed. This convention was called by
and met at the instance of Massachusetts.
Peace was soon alter concluded between
the United States and England, which put
a stop to their premeditated withdrawal
from the union. No state and no promi
nent and iulluential citizens of the union
denied their right to withdraw. This oc
curred 27 years after the constitution, of
1787, had been in operation. When, then,
did those and other Northern States yield
their sovereignty. Forty six years there
after, when there had been no change in the
constitution, no act of any kind to detract
from the rights and powers of the States,
or to add to the powers of the General
Government, a large convention composed
of the anti-slavery party, now called the
Republican party, nominated Mr. Lincoln
for the Presidency expressly to prevent
the further extension of slavery—to exclude
it from all the territories, which belonged
os much to the slaveholding as to the non-
slavehoiding States, indicating that the ju
dicial tribunals should be made sectional,
and that the government made by our fath
ers, should be totally changed and merge.,1
into consolidation and centralism. All the
powersof thegovernment, Executive, Legis
lative and Judicial, were to conform, as
soon as it could be effected, to this new idea
so abhorrent to our political systems, and
the previous sentiments of the people of
the United States in ever}’ section of the
union. Thus the people of the South saw
that a fanatical frenzy, in its direst form,
had usurped tho place of fraternity, in a
large portion of the Northern and North
western mind. We will not travel at length,
through the years of sickening assault
vvhich was made upon tho peculiar institu
tion of our section. To do that would fill
copious volumes. There stood the consti
tutional compact, declaring that fugitive
slaves, escaping into what were called free
States, should lie delivered up upon the
claims of their owners—there stood the
laws upon the United States statute books,
to enforce the provisions of the constitution,
and yet thirteen of those States, by legisla
tive enactments and penalties, forbid the
reclamation of fugitive slaves in utter de
fiance of constitutional right, and Federal
law. With these and other alarming facts
staring them in the face, what prospect did
the Southern States have in view, for the
protection of their rights, their safety and
happiness, in the event of Mr. Lincoln’s
election? Unfortunately there were three
candidates opposing the claims of Mr.
Lincoln to the presidency, Stephen A. Doug
las, of Illinois, John C. Breckenridge, of
Kentucky, and John Bell, of Tennessee.
Lincoln, without having a ticket in a South
ern State, received a constitutional majori
ty of electoral votes in the North. Still he
was elected by a minority of the people’s
votes. The prospect to the people of the
South was that of a political pandemon
ium. Judging the future by the past, they
anticipated evils far more dire than those
through which they had passed. The ship
of State seeemed to bo*unaneliored, and
would soon be floating upon the tumultu
ous waves of fanatic violence. A dark and
fearful eclipse came over the souls of our
people. Tho stoutest men shuddered at
the prospect, and, in this dark chaos of
doubt and fear, they were easily persuaded
to seek safety In secession. Would it be
peaceful? Why not? Each state was a
sovereign. New York and Massachusetts
“Hon. Horatio Seymour has expres’TfT p ‘ " “"Tfcc Csssril ImamiHIv
the opinion that the only way to^save the j 1 «rsn«l a. scuivi
were reared in the belief that a sotcrclgn
State could retire in peace; and they
had the right to do so. Just at this
point in the history of the country the peo
ple of the North called their hosts to arras
to prevent the sovereign States of tfca'
South from exercising their ackaowledgad
rights as free, sovereign and independent
nations. They had trampled down their _ ^
constitutional rights with their personal ‘ ®* n 3 r Muoerats, of New York, but in this
... — ■
Democrattepartv in jj» State of New York
now is fof With Robinson and Kelly to with
draw while their respective followers rally j
around anew man.”
^^We have seen no indication of any exten-
e9e sentiment of this kind among the
Bjmocrats ot New York. Mr. Kelly is a
■fen of nerve and influence among the Tarn-
liberty bills. They had warred against the
“sin” of slavery under a “higher law,” than
the constitution. Where did they find that
invisible law? Not surely in the word of
God, either in the old or the New Dispensa
tion. God sanctioned it In the old and
neither Christ nor his apostles condemned
it, in the New. When Christ was ubcu the
earth there were from sixty to seventy five
millions of slaves in the enlightened and
civilized countries of the world. He and
his apostles spoke of and denounced every
imaginable sin, but in no instance did eith
er of them denounce slavery as a sin. This
is an indisputable fact that no anti-slavery
man, at the North, or the South, or in any
other section, can successfully gainsay.
But whether right or wrong, there stood
the contract of record, in the constitution.
We should fear to deal with any man un
der contract, involving character, or money,
who would declare before hand that, to him,
there was a higher law than the record of
his bargain. How a Christian, a believer in
the oracles of God, can find a higher law
unto himself, is incomprehensible to us.
It is equivalent to saying he can go higher
in moral principle than God himself. Such
a man makes a holiday of his conscience,
to worship a being whose divine wisdom,
in some particulars, he deems inferior to
his own. But we are coming to a close and
must press our few remaining thoughts
into as small a compass as possible. We
have clearly demonstrated the existence of
State sovereignty, from the declaration of
Independence to the commencement of tho
late war. If State sovereignty has been
lost, it was destroyed by the war. It is clear
that if tiie States were sovereign they had
the right to secede, and the otber States
had no right to pin them to the union by
bayonets. If there was a higher law, than
the constitution, to justify them in doing
that, wo hope that some immaculate and
infallible genius will make It known. If no
one can do that, the true historian must
write it down with a pen of fire, “That the
war upon the seceding States was unau
thorized by the constitution—was an unholy
act of cruel and arbitrary power—was an act
of tyranny such as a despot practices when
lie places a pure and guiltless man in a
dank dungeon and refuses lo unlock tho
rivets of his galling fetters.” We have
stated our argument strongly, because we
would impress the northern mind with a
sense of its injustice to our section. If we
could make them sensible of that they
would cense to call us “rebels” and “trai
tors.” Those who have read our articles
will believe! us, when we say, we would
gladly nurse that friendship between the
sections which would bind them in constant
acts of cordial civility, in adversity or good
fortune, and maintain those ties unbroken
in all Ihe coming ages. We would have
them so pure and tender that the people of
each State would be ready upon the first
alarm, to risk their lives in defence of the
people of any other, or all the others com
bined. The government, as our fathers
framed it, was a light of glory and splendor
to the world. Darkness for centuries had
lingered over all the governments of the
Earth. Those States were new nations—
new stars—commingling their light in a
brilliant constellation, which (if political
systems may bo compared with systems
of the universe) outshone the planets, and
rivalled the sun in splendor. Liberty had,
at last, found a Home—an earthly Eden.
The States were free—the people were free.
Each man’s home was a temple of liberty;
each heart a shield to protect the beloved
and glorious confederation. Peace folded
its white wings within ail its borders, and
happiness was visible in the faees of a free
and virtuous people. The-outside world
looked on the growing greatness or the
Union wit h interest and wonder. The spir
it of Justice then penetrated the nationali
ties, State and Federal. Alas! Fanaticism,
like a new serpent, entered tho American
Eden. From time to time it laid Its snaky
hands upon forbidden things, until, at last,
the stars were dimmed. Brothers shed
each others blood, the land was clothed in
mourning, in moral, political and financial
ruins.
Is State sovereignty lost? Was it killed
by the war? We answer emphatically, no.
The constitution still remains. Usurpation
is condemned in that, in moral law, in the
laws of nations, and in the forum of con
science. Might may overcome right, but
establishes nothing in violation of a written,
recorded, and still existent compact, God’s
Law may be despised, discarded, and an
Idol may be set up in its stead, but still, it
stands with omnipotent power to protect
it So stands, yet, tho constitution of the
Fathers. Sovereignty was disregarded by
the arbitrary will of the usurpers of unau
thorized powers, but it was only tempor
arily dethroned, not permanently destroy
ed. This Is our opinion. The union! Do
the people desire its perpetuity? There is
only one way under heaven by which it can
bn made perpetual and that is to make the
people love it. Can they love it when any
State, or number of States, are subjected to
tyrannous exactions -.nd debasing subordi
nation? Cannot any one removed only a
few degrees above Idiocy see, that injustice
and oppression, treachery to obligations,
lead to discord, fear, terror, hate, revenge,
violence and bloodshed. Can it be expected
tiiat people will wed their souls to tyranny
—to shapes and stretches of power—that
violate the compact and destroy their peace
prosperity and happiness?
“Return, Oh Israel! unto the Lord thy
God. I will be as the dew unto Israel; he
shall grow as the lily and east forth his
roots as Lebanon.”
Return, oh people ol America!from wan
dering after false Gods, unto tho covenants
of the Fathers, and the dawn of peace will
fall upon you as upon Israel—the light ot
your constellated glory will again shine in
unobstructed purity, over States prosper
ous and free, and a people contented and
happy.
DR. JANES RESIGNATION.
We present herewith the textof the letter
which was sent to the governor by Dr.
Janes:
To His Excellency, Alfred H. Colquitt,
Governor of Georgia: I have been reliably
informed that the opposition to the depart
ment of agriculture, and the demand for ita
abolition, which has found expression in
various forms, is. to a large extent, based
upon personal opposition to myself, and be
lieving, as I do. that such opoosltion will
not only impair my uselullness as the head
of the department, but seriously endanger
its existence; believing, too, that the aboli
tion of the department at this time would
be a calamity to tho fanners of Georgia
and tiie best interests of the state, I am not
willing, even seemingly, to be an obstacle
to the advancement of these interests. Not
withstanding my convictions that I have
faithfully discharged my duties to the best
of my skill and ability, in a work so new,
without example or precedent, errors of
judgment and mistakes in theaxerelse of a
very wide discretion may have been com
mitted.
In view of these facts, I have conclud
ed that it is my duty to resign my posi
tion.
I therefore respectfully tender my resig
nation, absolutely and unqualifiedlv, of the
office of commissioner of agriculture, to
take effect at such time as you may signify
your acceptance of the same.
Thomas P. Janes.
On Tuesday the governor signified to Dr.
Janes of his acceptance of the resignation,
while regretting the circumstances which
had operated to induce it.
instance If he really is influenced by any
motives for the good of Democrats, his pa
triotism, instead of taking m the whole
State of New York or the whole coun
try, shrivels into the sphere that bounds
the county and city of New York. Some
say he has been offended because the Tam-
manyites have not had a greater share of
the spoils. Be that as it may, it seems to
us tiiat while bemuffling himself witli the
externals of Democracy, his conduct shows
that he lacks its vitality and soul. When
a dispute arises between the adiierents of a
party reason and common sense dictate
the submission of the point at issue to the
decision of a majority. If the difference is
too radical for tiiat, the minority should
depart and seek new associations. Mr.
Kelly withdrew from the Convention of his
own accord, because that body was deter
mined to re-nominate Governor Robinson,
who by general consent was the choice of
the party. The Democracy of New York
have been pleased witli his administration.
He has been deemed not only in New York,
but outside, to have made one of the best
Governors tiie State ever had. Is Mr. Kel
ly an imperatof to dictate the policy of the
Democratic party of New York and to
shape its destiny?
None have a higher opinion of Mr. Sey
mour as a Democrat than we have and
surely we would not be so immodest as to
present our opinions against his as to the
best policy to be pursued *o heal the divi
sions of New York Democrats, but we sim
ply express the opinion that nothing will
sooner distract and destroy a party than
to let any one man in the ranks defeat its
wishes. Others would be emboldened by
the precedent to do the same thing and the
party would be constantly disturbed by
anarchs who would have to be appeased by
bonuses or submission to their personal
wills. Mr. Kelly is evidently a self-consti
tuted judge of the motives or wisdom of a
majority of his associates and loaves but
one alternative to them, to submit to his
views or lose his association. We have
never supposed, however iulluential Mr.
Kelly may have been, that he was recog
nized as the Sir Oracle, whose word should
be law. Wo think it would be bettor to let
him go than for the majority to beat a
chamade and undo their work at the bid
ding of Mr. Kelly. We see that the Hon.
John T. Hoffman has resigned his place as
one of the sachems of the Tammany socie
ty. We present his letter as follows:
Saratoga Springs, N. Y., Sept. 12.
Hon. Augustus Schell, Grand Sachem :
Dear Sir:— I lully appreciate the high
character of John Kelly as a public officer,
and as a conscientious, fearless Democratic-
leader, but it is my purpose to support the
Democratic State ticket, headed by Gov
ernor Lucius Robinson. Whenever tiie pol
icy of my party fails to satisfy me I will
leavelt if 1 can find anotiier which suits me
better,hut while I remain in it I will sus
tain the regular nomination. 1 cannot con
sent to occupy a position from which any
portion of the Democracy might infer the
contrary; and as many do not understand
the difference between the Tammany !<<>-
ciety and the Tam main- General Committee
(of which I am not a member) I resign tiie
office of sachem of tiie society. Very truly
yours, (Signed) John T. Hoffman.
Sucli is the position of Ex Governor Hoff
man. We see also that Senator T. C. Ec-
clesine and Alderman I. C. Wachner, have
done the same thing—both said that Mr.
Kelly’s conduct is playing into the hands
of tho Republicans. We find all their let
ters in the New York World, and regret
that they ha ve come into our hands too late
for publication in full in this issue of our
paper. They are quite severe in their com
ments upon Mr. Kelly’s conduct aud one
of them, tiie last mentioned, quotes from
his speech, in which he, Mr. Kelly, said
that he “did not expect to be elected Gov
ernor, but did expect io work ttie defeat of
Robinson the regular Democratic nominee.”
The Utica Observer, a Democratic paper,
published at the home of Oonkling, predicts
that Robinson will get forty thousand ma
jority in spite of Lord Cardinal Kelly.
CARD OF Z McCORD, Esq.
We have tiie pleasure to lay before our
readers, the card or Mr. Z. McCord, one of
the most successful and popular merchants
of our State and section. A more select
aud desirable lot of Groceries and Provi
sions, was never exhibited in Augusta, than
that which now fills this wellknown estab
lishment. To our old subscribers wo need
not commend this house, for they are alrea
dy aware how high it stands in public esti
mation; but many new oneS have been add
ed to our list, and we heartily commend it
to their attention and patronage. They
will be treated well, get the best in tiie
market, and upon the most satisfactory
terms.
Tile Centennial in Savannah,
besides the many military attractions, will
have the comic opera of “Pinafore,” pre

eral music house in Savannah. We tender
our thanks to Mr. E. F. Bryan, S ■c’y. and
