A poetical description of about ajmndred
foes on the impeachment situation appeared
i, Keed s interest this. morning,,;and it af-
jr.ls much amusement to the ‘‘Rebels” so-
galled. ,
Lieutenant Gov. Gleason issued to-day a
dated yesterday. He states
le late special session of. the Legis
lature a quorum of both Houses were pres
et; that Gov. Heed recognized them by
Sending messages and transacting business
with them; that twelve members of the Sen
ate were present; that the impeachment of
an officer is in no sense a legislative busi
ness but is exclusively judicial in its
character, and such as may be as well trans
acted at a special as well as at a regular
term; that the Constitution declares that any
officer impeached shall be placed under
arrest and disqualified from performing i
of the duties of his office until acquitted
the Senate; that HamsonReed in gross
tempt of all the people of the “State, and of
their Assembly which impeached, and their
Senate the only tribunal under the Constitu
tion which has jurisdiction in cases of im
peachment, and in violation of tine Qonstitu-
tion of the State, refuses to deem himself
under arrest, and disqualified from perform
ing any duties of his office until acquitted by
tie Senate, or submit himself to the judg
ment of the Senate, but arrogates to himself
the tight to pronounce impeachment void,
and proceeds in hia office as if no impeach
ment he preferred; that no citizen charged
with crime can set up his private judgment
so aa toregulate his impeachment Or warrant
of arrest, and the law makes no differ
ence between one who is Governor and one
who is not, but requires all to submit to ; ar
rest and go before the tribunal appointed by
the Constitution to make their defence.
Therefore he proclaims that the said Har
rison Heed, Governor of Florida, is deemed
by the Constitution, under arrest, and dis
qualified from performing any of the duties
of his office until acquitted by the Senate;
and that his powers have devolved upon him,
and he calls upon all citizens to aid him in
exercising said powers and discharging the
duties devolved upon him by the Constitu
tion, and to put down tha lawlessness and
anarchy which will inevitably ensue ii any
man impeached or indicted, however exalted
his station, refuse submission to arrest im
posed by the Constitution of Florida.
The document is signed by W. H. Gleason,
Lieutenant and noting Governor, counter
signed by Geo. J. Alden, Secretary of State,

George Wilkes conducts a half sportii

frequently used by the leaders “of the Radi
cal party as a kind of pilot baloon to test the
current of public opinion. When some mea
sure, desperate in its character, is agreed upon
by Wade, Colfax, . Butler, and their fellow-
conspirators, an nrt.icle-is written, Wilkes as
sumes the paternity of it, the Spirit of the
limes acts ub accoucheur,-and the- hybrid is
sent forth. Recently an efobpratedeader Ap
peared in that paper advocating the abroga
tion of the naturalization laws, on the ground
“that the systematic frauds of the Democrat
ic judges—closing'their eyes to the pros
titution of their seals and wholesale
perjury—will ' t<*hd ~ to the’ utter demor
alization of the innocent masses of
“ our foreign population.” The Press of this
city is the first Radical journal to respond t«L
this blast, and it declares “ the argument is
novel, but not without force.” Here, then,
is a movement in favor of repealing ill 1 the
naturalization la.ws of this country, started
in one quarter and''endorsed'in another,
which shows that it has been a subject of
thought and consultation among the; m?n
who are to lead in the Forty-first Congress^

Philadelphia Age,
A Pobtrat-for the Times.-*-This
portrait of the political Pilate of our day
from a late sermon of Henry Ward Beecher:
“What is a Pilate ? A Pilate is one of
those courtly gentlemen—polished, tasteful,
expert—who is dot difSfcmijed nof .wsnftd by
convictions in over-measure; who looks upon
all moral qualities as a gambler lookq upon
cards, which shuffles and. plays according.fit)
the exigency of his gaihe—and one just as
eag y as another. A Pilate -is a man who -be— |
lieves in letting things have their own way.
Do not sacrifice yourself. Do not get in the
wav of a movement. Do the best thing.
Live in peace with your tune. - 'Be-not like
the fool,- who stands in his.' own. .'light
Maintain good appearance—that is profitable.-
See to it that you do not go too for, one
wav or another. Study the interests Of num
ber one all through. And, whatever comes,
see that you come out uppermost. Do not
be gross, brutal, fanatical—that hi not profit
able. Preserve your balance. - See that you
keep your eye on the. chances. If they go
this way, you go with them far enough to reap
them. Do not be ! too scrupulous. Be just
enough so to gainy-Our ends. Gsji men, use
events, use everything that is profitable. Do
not use your conscience too much.- This is
the language of the Pilate of our day. Those
men who ride astride of the times, and of ad
ministrations, and of policies; thoBe men
who are polished, cold, calculating, speculat-

Hamilton’s proposed clause on the suf-
e perfectly tallied with the other parts of
"plan. Before, proceeding .to jlo; this, we
will furnish some indisputable evidence of
his anti-republican sentiments.
Hamilton’s speech in .the Convention in
support of Ms plan Was reported by, his Col
league; ’Judge Yates, from notes taken during
its dfftveiy: The' following is an extract:
“To 1 ft void the evils deductible from these
observations, we must establish A general and
national government, Completely sovereign,
and annihilate Stale distinctions and State opera
tions; and unless me do-this, no good- purpose
can be answered.” See “Yate’a Notes of Debates
of Federal Convention,” Albany e,dition, pp.
132-3.,): .a . . ■ 2:
Gouvemeur Morris, in a letter to Robert
Walsh, Fej*jwy ; 5, 18U, said, of Hamilton:
“He never foiled, on every occasion, to advp-
caff&e&cdtench of, Su'd avow hfs attach
ment ioitabfiarchy.” “He disliked the Con-
stitution, 'believing all republican government
b be radically defective, and ‘-“be hated re-
iblican govefnihent; because he confounded
with democratical government” Gouver- :
neiir Morris. was one of Hamilton’s most inti-
inate and cofifidefitial’friehdsr ' - - '
■ These are the-, views-whose wisdom and
sagacity Aha Tribune now.finds it : necessary
to indorse, as a .means of preparing the way
lor. the regulation of the suffrage by the
Federal government. The Tribune is herein
logical and consistent If any, plotter
against'our liberties were "to prescribe the
steps for transforming the republic into an
empire, the most important in the list would
be to bring the suffrage under Federal control
and make it * absoltitefy 1 universal. It
- 1 has (a deceptive semblance ot deference to
the popular will, well calculated to mask its
d anti-republican tendency and put the vigi
lance of the people asleep. Hamilton’s pro
posal-respecting the suffrage, had no other de
sign. .He. would have had everybody vote for
members of Jhe. lower. branch, of Congress,
but would have allowed that branch.but little

The Press of Georgia Requested to Copy this
Address and ~ '
for the improvement and development
all the varied interests of Georgia and
v, r orgians. Touching the immediate subject
of immigration, “the committee deem it^ best
not to propose any plan rif‘action in this ad
dress, but-to. leave the whale question, to the
Convention—and we simply urge a. full at
tendance at the Convention.
This, People of Georgia, is no small work,
nor is it a-Utopian idea. And now is the
time for the work to begin. . It has already
been delayed ( too long, and if deferred still
will only end iii greater injury.
Farmers 6f Georgia! the burden rests mainly
on vour shoulders. Others are to be benev
'fitted in a corresponding' ratio—but it de
volves mainly upon you to “putthe baUin
motion.” Co-operation is what we need.
This is to be effected, by full and free discus
sion of the whole question. This cun be had
at Macon at the time specified. We cordially
invite you, - therefore. Farmers of every
county in Georgia,, to appoint one or more
Delegates to represent your interests in the
'Convention at Macon, and to aid in the work.
We must not wait. There is too much dan
ger in delay. Too much .'sacrifice in. post
ponement. Bend, the liest men you
can get, and -let the good’ work com
mence: It will take months to accomplish
the first step in the enterprise. -It is all im
portant .to begin right . Quo folae step may
lie .productive of incalculable mischief: . Our
present labor, from the signs of the times,
WiH in a few veara more, be almost - worth
less. * It is not the sort of labor we need now.
Itis inadequate, unskilled and unreliable,
and becoming more so every year.
Maryland is awake ! "Virginia 'is arousing !
Missouri; Texas and Arkansas are aH moving !
Georgians! we, toe, must begin, if we would
save our good old State, ourselves and our
children from abject poverty.' Our invitation
is earnest—the crisis is hear; the results car- '
tain; and glorious, if we begin right—begin
in time, and act-throughout with Wisdom. ■
Let us have .representatives frpm every cotm-
ty at Macon, And,let us then and there in-
' augurate a ’ system*'of'labor' which shall re
gain our lost prosperity. It, and' it alone,
will be our salvation.

ffoody in-
a negro
into that
From a
tleman who ieftBro"
ty, Thursday evening,
yesterday morning, we
particulars relative to an
surrection and crusade for pluildef among
the negroes of that vicitity. ‘ Some seven
miles from the town of Brownsville, on the
Smith’s Mill Road, which runs in a North
westerly direction, there lives a man named
John Byers, a farmer: by occupation 1 , and a
“loyalist" .of toe most vindictive stripe. He
was, however, supposed to be a man of too
cowardice to have ever concocted any-
of so bold and villianoUS a nature as
the'wholesale murder of -his neighbors.
For some time past people in toe vicinity,
had noted a gathering of desperate negro
characters at the born of this man. Byers,
but, as it was supposed they went there fox
the'purpose of shucking com, it was not un
til a vigilant watch.had been kept that any.
thing as .to their real business was ascertain
ed! Fearing that they might be discovered,
on Monday night they changed their place of
meeting to toe levee on Meridian, Creek, one
and a half miles, from Byers’ bam and near
Johnson’s mill They numbered about thirty-
strong and were commanded by.
named John Murdock, who came into
country but recently from Mississippi, At
this meeting a programme was laid out for
execution on the Thursday night following.
They were to assemble at the same place and
in the dead hour of night, march on the resi
dence of-Mr. Johnson, assassinate him-and
plunder his dwelling, and to conceal the deed
leave toe house in flames. Next the hveS and
residences of Captain-William Shaw and Cap
tain John Davis were,to share a similar fete,
and so on until every monied man in toe
neighborhood had been visited. Fortunate
ly, and we might say providentially, a
employed on toe form.of Mr. John Cole
came alarmed and divulged toe entire plot to
his master. His statement was corroborated
by another negro who had not cbm-
muuicated with Cole’s’negro. The citi-
ens carried toe informer before a.
trate where he made affidavit m substance
as above. Immediately ■ thereupon toe
Magistrate issued writs' for toe arrSfet of the
ring leaders both white and black. Gathering
a posse of-citizens the Sheriff at once en
tered upon his duties, and up to -Thursday
afternoon, had succaedeflin arresting about
fifteen of toe most prominent conspirators
and lodged Grain safely inprison. While en
gaged in-the arrests, he came uponthe negro
Murdock, who had fled armed to thu. woods,
vrito, some pflnaj companions. , When ade-
1 was made for his surrender,
which theUfShme seeks tq establish, is well
illustrated,- on a small scale, in this State.
What is the pretext of the- Republicans -for
-refusing, self-government to the city of New
York?- Why?-that the voting population is
. ^ .that it cannot.be
control of onr.muni-
affaire, and that toe city must therefore
be governed by. toe central authority at, Al-;

Last Hoars of the Arelxl>Ishop of Can*
The good old Archbishop of Canterbury
VsSls seized almost suddenly with bronchitis
on the 13th of September, while on. iria way -
bock from tlre Tyrol- He reached Addington
on the 16th, and was able, though with dif
ficulty, to hold his ordination in toe parish *
church on toe following Sunday. Two or
three ; times he rallied so much that hopes
were entertained that his robust constitution .
would enable him to shake off toe disease.
On the evening of Thursday week toe unfa
vorable symptoms increased, and from that
time he was confined to his bed. His mental
powers, remained uninjured, and he waa
occupied unceasingly in reading de-"
votioital "books,' or "in writing or givmg“
instructions concerning his charge, which
he .had .almost completed, though
he had quite given up toe i< lea of delivering
at" orally. He anticipated toe end almost from
the'first; and in a -paper written three or four
days ago, when speaking had. become difficult
;to,him, he. said: “I. commit my soul into too
hn’nda of .my God and dear Saviour. I havo
had proofs enough of his love in toe past, and
I am weU assured that whatever sufferings or >
trials are permitted to be&llme are visitations
:of love. ‘Though He slay me, yet willl trust
in Him ’ As to the faith in which I wish "to
die, I cannot better express it than in Richard
Hooker’s dying words, as indicated in toe un
derlined passage I have written out. , A
poor and guilty sinner I know myself to he;"
biit I believe that those who kneel at the foot
of toe cross with this sincere confession will
J never be cast out if they look to the cleansing
blood of Christ for then sole ground of par
don and acceptance.” The following is toe
extract from Hooker: “Though I have by His
grace loved Him in my youth, and feared
Him in. mine age, and labored to have a con
science void of offence to Him and to all men;
yet, if Thou, O Lord, be extreme to mark
what I have done amiss, who can abide it ?
And, therefore, where I have foiled, Lord,'
show mercy to me; for I plead, not ray right
eousness, but for toe forgiveness of ray own
unrighteousness, for His merits who died to
purchase pardon for penitent sinners.' And
j since I owe Thee a death, O Lord, 1st it not
be terrible, and then take .Thine;09m time.
Let notmine, O Lord, but Thy wifthwdoue.”
On Sunday "his grace appeared decidedly bet
ter,‘but on Monday

sank rapidly. He received. ’ ” ’
