CHRONICLE & SENTINEL
DAILY, TUI-WEEKLY. AND WEEKLY
BY W. B. JONES
'I he Sun Juan labroglla—Trouble Between
English and Aniertcnn Onit-inl*.
By the overland mail at St. Louis we have Tull
accounts of the difficulty between the American
and British authorities, growing out of the seizure
of the Island of San Juan by Gen. Harney, com
roauder of the United States troops in Oregon and
Washington Territory. The affair seems to have
created considerable excitement. There appears,
however, to be no immediate danger of a collision,
although some ill feeling was occasioned by silly
rumors, to the effect that Governor Douglas bad
ordered the arrest of the United S ates soldiers,
and that in such an event the Americans in Y r icto
ria would burn the town. The British war stea
mer Py lades had been dispatched to Panama to
iorward dispatches to the home government. The
United States revenue cutter Shubrick sailed for
San Francisco for a similar object The die
patches to our government reacted Y\ ash mg ton a
lew davs ago, and the instructions to Gen. Harney
left New York on Monday, in the steamer North
f-ui Light. According to rumor, the course of
Geu. Harney is approved by our government, I
which is satisfied that the island belongs to the !
United States A correspondent of the Victoria
Gazette gives an account of the origin of the
movement, furnished by Paul K. Ilubbs. Jr.. U.
N deputy collector on the island, from which we
gathr-r the following.
Air. Ilubbs has resided on the island in that crii
. in', capacity the last three years, during which time
hr hen made regular returns of all the imports and
exports to aud Irom the island to his government.
1 taring his residence on the island there have been
>t rite a number ot murders committed there and iu
t lie immediate vicinity, and the American residents
on the island deemed it pioper for their safety to
a-k the protection of their government. Pending
1 heir action, the island was visited by Gen. Harney,
the American commander in chief of the Pacific
division, who, in furtherance of the orders of his
government, examined the island preparatory to
making a permanent location of a portion of his
cuiiitnaud at that point. Shortly after his depar
ture, iu order to hasten if possible the protection
they desired, the American residents met on the
iith of July last, aud prepared a petition to Gen.
Harney, which was scon after sent to him.
The petition recites the outrages referred to
which are already familiar to our readers, and con
linues :
“ Only ten days ago another body was found on
our shores, which had been the victim of foul play.
Inclusive with the above dangers that we are ex
posed to from neighboring Indians, we are continu
ally iu fear of a descent upon us by the bauds of
marauding Nor thern Indians who infest these wa
ters in large numbers, and are greatly ret&rdin ; the
pr ogress of the settlement of this island
“ According to the treaty concluded June loth,
IB.VI, between the United States aud Great Britain,
(the pro vicious of which are plaiu, obvious and
pointed to us all here,) this aud all the islands east
of tire (,'anal de Haro, belong to us. YVe, there
lore, claim American protection iu our present
exposed aud defenseless position. With a view of
having this and the surrounding islands immeciate
ly settled, we most earnestly pray that you will
have stationed on the island a sufficient military
force to protect ourselves.
‘ Signed by all the American residents on the Is
land, thirty iu number.”
Before, however, the petition could reach Gen.
Harney, he had, iu accordance with orders from bis
government, despatched a force for the purpose,
aud also to make a regular statiou for a portion of
the troops of Ida command. The American troops
oir the 1-laud consist of sixty-six met), under Captam
Pickett. No permanent foititications have yet been
erected. Since the occupation. Captain Picket*
has issued and caused to be posted the following
order:
• Military Post, San Jo an Island, W T.,
“July 27,1859. $
“i Iu compliance with oruere and instructions
In.in the General C< mmanding, a military post will
be established on this Island, on whatever site the
commanding officer may select.
11. All tire inhabitants of the Island are request
ed to report at once to the commanding officer in
case of any incursiou by the Northern Indians, so
that he may take such steps as be may them uc
i re.-aiy to prevent any future occurrence of the
same.
111. This being United States territory, no laws,
o!her than those of the United States, nor couit-,
except such as are hold by virtue of said laws, will
be recognized or allowed on this Island By order
Capt. Pickett.

The island being deemed & portion of Whatcom
county, Washington Territory, H. K. Crosbie,
Li.j, h-s been appointed reside utlmagist rate for the
j nOioatiou of such matters an usually come before
that offi. -er under United States Territorial regula
tions. Paul K. Hubb.», Jr., revenue officer, has
jiir.de his ievidence near the II B Co e buildings,
and beneath the American flag. He Las not been
invested with nor exercised any judicial preroga
tive, but a» resident U. 8. otiieer has referred such
matters to the proper authorities on the main land
The most friendly relations existed betweeu the
A met; an » Ulcers on shore and the otiicera attached
to the Hritieb vessels of war iu port.
The moat important event has been the reeep
tinu by tap?. Picket t of an order from the Hudson's
Hay ( ompany to remove his force irom the Islands,
t apt P. replied that w hile he did not recognize
their authority to make the demand, he would state
ti.&t he lad received his orders from the U. S. gov
ernment, and should occupy the Island until re
• ailed Ly the same authority. Capt. Pickett raised
the American tlag at Chepultepec iu the Mexican
war, is a brave and cautious ttticer, and will go as
tar as duty and honor require.
Iu IS >1 the civil authorities oi Watcoin county,
Washington Territory, assessed the usual taxes on
pu.peity iu San Juan Island, which, not being paid,
the assessor seized tb'rty sheep belonging to the
Jl H. and sold them to liquidate the taxes
claimed. The H 15. Co., have since ma»3e a claim
on the United States government for $ 15,0(10, for
the value of the aheep.
The British steamer of war, Tribuue, had re
mainedinthe harbor siuc.e the commencement of
“hostilities,” with her broad tide commanding the
there The latest dispatch from the "seat of war’
rates that the British steamer Plumper had ar
lived w:th a large number of soldiers from New
Westminister. No troops were landed from her
nod if was believed that none would bs. The U.
H. revenue cutteis JelT Davis and Massachusetts
had also arrived l’he correspondent says :
It is well understood on the island that the
American authority could be made to cease in less
thsn an hour after it should be attempted by the
British fieet. Still it was not doubted that the
. mlneM and wisdom that has hitherto guided her
Majesty i oilicers in this quarter would be mani
fested in the present difficulty, as ail are aware,
that while Capt. Pickett has but sixty six men, he
wid obey his orders as fully as though his force
were ten fold that number. I cannot but fee! con
it lent that the subject will be reteried to the Home
government for adjudication, and the American
tunes left in their possession of the island without
hindrance until such decision shall be given.
In addition to the atrocities already detailed as
c ommitted, i wouid mention that on Tuesday fore
noon Mr. Ciosbie, the coroner lor Whatcom couu
iy, was called upon to hold an inquest on the b dy
>»( u white female, which was found on the adjoin
ing island, Lope/.. The head was found encased
ii asa< k, whicn wascoveied with blood stains.—
-Tithing further could be ascertained as to who
were, the perpetrators, but no doubt this was an
other victim of the barbarous hordes who make that
island their ‘stamping ground.’ It is now confi
dently predicted on the island that outrages hereaf
t*-j v* ill be. met with such a retribution that aterror
will be telt of the Bostons’ never bes re experienc
ed on tin.; coast, and that the American plan will
he found much more efficacious iu suppressing In
dian outrages rhan the “blanket bribing” system so
long practised by the II B. Co.”
d<Considerable "ill feeling appears to have arisen
among the people at Victoria, in consequence of
this movement of (Jen 1 limey. The Victoria Ga
j»etce, having ass umed a position upon the subject
which is deemed there lo be an ‘American view,’ ia
assailed severely by several English writers iu the
(’olonist.
1 he t'u.iiefer commends the action of Gen. Harney
iri inking possession of the island. It eays :
'The treaty U baaed upon the principle that the
s nth of the parallel of l.< was United States territo
> i, and the diviatioa made was simply to give Van
i <.aver a Isle- d—only a very «ma!l portion of which
was south of that parallel—to that country who,
i,ad the line extended directly across it, would have
• weed the greater part of It. If, then, the question
were one of doubtas to the proper channel, a eon
• deration of (he intent of the treaty must solve that
question in favoi of the United States. But it is
not a quest ton upon which a doubt should be per
mitted to exist. The Canal do llaro is the broad
e*t, deepest and most direct channel from the Sraita
/of Kuo* into the Gulf of Georgia. And this would
not ha questioned were it not- for the value of the
intermediate islands. To England they are valua
ble an well for the land, of which there is much that
i - ot a superior quality on some of the islands, as
also they are supposed to command the southern
entrance to the Gulf ot Georgia, lo us they are
i.&.e&s&ry as a military poEt, being the ooly place
Mutable for the protection of our people from the
l, i d-a or northern savages, from whom we have
■’-.ii i.ady suffered, and from whose threatened attacks
many ot our settlements down the Sound are kept
m continual alarm. San Juan is just the place for
a post. The Indians must pasß within striking
• •- 'ice in c* ming to and burning trom the aettle
naents. * * * * * *
u-en. Harney no doubt views it in this light, and
has ordered the establishment of the post here as
M would on any other portion of American soil.
VVe honor him for it.”
Au,extra eersion of the British Colonial Assem
bly was called on the 3d of August to receive a
message from Gov. Douglas in relation to San
Juan affairs. Ostensibly the message was for the
iiiloimaliou of the Home, and, accoiding to the
Colouiet, it waaieally to secure a vote ot euulideuce
iu favor of Um» Executive. Home inflammatory re
m. were made regarding the iuvaeicu of Hau
dU»u. vl which advantage taken to twn* the
vote of confidence. This was objected to on the
ground that the subject was so important that it
required time for consideration.
The opposition to the vote of confidence triumph
ed, and .be question was postponed till the Bth,
when ir would be again made the subject of con
sideration.
Gov. Douglas, in hia message, after announcing
the seizure of the island by ths United States troops,
says :
Having received uo information from any quar
ter that the United States ever contemplated tak’mg
possession of any part of the disputed territory,
while the boundary Hue remained unsettled, I am
forced to believe that the late unwarrantable aud
discourteous act, so contrary to the usages of civi
lized nations, Las originated in error, aud been
undertaken without the authority of that govern
ment. That impresiion is corroborated by a letter
from the Hon. W. L. Marcy, Secretary for the
United States, dated Washington, PJth July, 1855,
to her Majesty 'B Minister at Washington, which
contains instructions from the President of the
United States to the Governor of Washington Ter
ritory, and displays in the clearest manner the
conciliatory and moderate v'ipws entertained by
his government on the subject of the disputed ter
ritory. Though the right ot Great Britain to all
the islands situated to the weal ol “Vaocouvei” or
'■Rosario” straits is to our mind clearly established
by the first article of the treaty of ISib, aud though
those islands have, since the foundation of Hits
colony, been considered as a dependency ol Y'nn
couver's Island, it is well known to you, gentle
men, that out of respect to the construction that
has been put upon that trealy by the government
of the Unitedtitates, we have abstained from ex
ercising excl reive sovereignty over it.
Convinced that any es ump ion on either file of
exclusive right to the disputed territory would sim
ply be a fruitless and mischievous waste ot energy,
neither detracting from, nor adding force to tue
claims of either natiou, wice and considerate policy
enjoins upon us the part of leaving so important a
national question tor settlement by the proper au
thorities, and of avoiding complications foreign
to the views a d wishes of, and probably embar
rassing to both governments Immediately on be
ing informed of the landing ot the United States
I troops at San Juan, Her Majesty’s ship Tribune,
; under the command of (Japt. Hornby, was dis
j patched to that quarter, and soon after a Uetach
| rnent ot Royal Engineers, and Royal Marine Light
j Infantry, were ordered from New YY eatminister,
! by Her Majesty’s ship Plumper, Uapt. Riuhara's,
and those, troops will be landed at ban Juan to pro
' tect the lives and property of British subjects.
You will observe, gentlemen, lrom enclosure No.
1, that the captain in command of ths United Slates
detachment of troops, in a public notice, dated "?th
of July, assumes the exercise of exclusive sove
reign rights in the Island ol San Juan, while the
President of the United States altogether disclaims
such pretensions, and eetk3 at most to discontinue
the joint right of sovereignty and dotnam la com
mon with Great Britain. Wo may presume from
that circumstance, that the notice in question was
framed ia ignorance of the intentions of the Uni
ted States government, aud that the pretentions set
forth will not be maintained. Entertaining such
opinions, I have net failed to impress on her Majss
ty’s naval officers, now stationed at San Juan, the
desire of her Majesty's government to avoid every
course which may unnecessarily invo ve the sus
pension of the amicable relations subsisting be
tween Great Britain and the United States; at the
same fime,those officers have b»3u instructed and
are prepared to assert the rights and maintain the
honor and dignity of our sovereign and her do
minions.
From the Cassvii/e Standard — Democratic.
| Sena) »r Toombs—Dougins—The next Presiden
cy—and the Press,
We have ou’.y seen a brief synopsis of the speech
| of the Hon. Robert Toombs delivered at Lexington
: oa Friday the tilth ult, as published iu the Even
ing Dispatch of the 30th. We wish we could have
i read the speech entire, so (hat w r e might quote the
worts of the Hon Senator, but have not been able
j to procure a copy.
. If the speaker is correctly reported, he shoulders
Stephen A. Douglas as his man for the Presidency
in the campaign of VO, and goes so far as to declare
that he prefers him lo any man of the Opposition,
North or South. A question might arise here,
waat was meant by the word opposition ? It can
scarcely have reference in this connection to any
thing else than to the Administration and Anti-
Administration portion of the democracy ; at least
for the Hoc. Senator, i! is charity to place this
construction upon his words. To say the least of it,
the expression is very strong, and Senator Toombs
may think that bis el 'queues, ability, a .d persona!
popularity may enable him to carry this State for
Douglas. But we think he is decidedly mistaken.
Let the leadt r think ol the extent of the remark,
any man of the Oppceit on North or South, and
then ask Limse ; ii there is not many a statesman
both North and South, who does uit support the
administration of Mr. Buchanan, whom he would
prefer to see elevated to the Presidential chair, to
this “Little Giant of the West,” who is as much a
Black Republican es Seward ot New Turk
We have in several of our previous issues allud
ed to Mr. Douglas as a politician, and it must be
evident to every one that he lias proven himself a
traitor to the South aid Southern iuterests and in
stitutions—that his entire ambition and object is to
be elevated to the Presidency, and he cares not by
what means or bow deeply he may and can sell the
South, so he attains it. With these facta and lights
before us it is uot strange, that we Lave a South
ern Senator, who boldly proclaims to lis consti
tuents that bf j would vote forS’epl.en A. Douglas in
preference to any man of the Opposition North or
South. But he in audition to this assertion defend
ed the course ot Douglas in h : s political life, which
has been one, like the lion. Senator’s, of constant
change, and endeavor to keep with the party in
power, or the one just entering into the ascend&aoy,
ever vacillating, and never saying aiything
"which he sticks to,” and alluded with ridicule to
other Statesmen who had, and were still battling
for the rights of the South as political tricksters. It
is a matter for the people but as we have before
stated for ourselves, we have no use for Douglas:
and even it be should be the nominee of the
Charleston conventit n, which may Heaven avert,
we will not either as Journalists, or citizens, sup
port him, but will use every means to secure bis
defeat before the people.
It may be said that he (Douglas,j has or wiilgive
satisfactory pledges to tre South. What pledges,
we ask, can he give on which we may rely with
confidence ? How eau the South trust the word of
oue who was once her champion, arid to whom the
South looked forward with pride, and wheu he had
gained our confidence, basely deserted us iu the
hour of our need, and Arnold like, betrayed us to
our enemies. No, there is no pledge which Doug
hs can give on which we would rely, aud we think
that full twe-tbirds of the voters of Georgia will
go with ue. alttough he may have satisfied Senator
Toombs. For whatever be might say aud write,
wheu it comes to his interest, to dodge a particular
issue, he would place such a constructiou upon it,
as in the Kansas Nebraska Act, as will eubaervehis
purposes of peisou&l preferment. And yet such is
the man whose name Senator Toombs hoists for the
next President, shoulders him with all his political
sins, and thinks to cram him down the throats of
the independent voters of this State. Will they
submit to this dictation ? We opine not. Time
will show.
The Honorable Senator says that any citizen of
the South can enter and settle in any of the Territo
ries ot the United States with bis slaves, and be as
secure with his property aa he could be in Ogle
thorpe county, Georgia. Does the political hisicry
of our country for the last ten or more years, sustain
this posit on 7 Does it not throw it aside as idle
talk, as vapor which disperses before the rising sun ?
YVhat does the history of Kansas say as to this
position 7 With every exertion on the part of the
South to settleit, she was expelled, and this Territory
byj Douglas’ squatter eoverekuty ie lost to the South
forever; aud will be knocking at the door ot the
next Congress tor admission into the Uuionas a
Free State, when the !a?t Congress refused her
admission with a constitution admitting slavery, in
which measure this ‘‘Little Giaut of the West" lead.
Aud jet the Hon. Senator tel's U 3 that slavery in
any of the Territories is as secure as in Georgia.—
We would ask if it is not a well known fact, that a
Southern man cannot travel with his slave, his
own property, through any of Northern States, who
are parties to the Federal compact, without run
ning the gauntlet of mobs, and the certainty of
losing his property ? Aud yet a Southern Senator
tells us it is ail v ell, and we, aud our property are
perfectly secure in any Territory ot The United
States. He will have to draw considerably upon
his logic, and more upon his sophistry before he
can blind the citizens of the south with such reaaou
iug.
He defeuds the Kansas Nebraska act, and as he
supports the claims of Douglas, the only rational
conclusion to which any one can come, is, he takes
his (Douglas’) interpretation of it. We are satis
fied with this bill when a proper interpretation is
placed upon it, but not otherwise ; and we main
tain that the construction placed thereupon by the
Douglaeites ie uot the proper one. But that the
construction given by the South —and when we
Bay South, we meau the true South —is the one in
tended to be placed upon it when passed. But
more on this sueject again.
It is said the honorable gentleman w r as especially
severe upon editors, aud »aid that a man who could
set up a seven by nine sheet, aud assume the royal
pronoun “ we,” wouli assume to himself to lead
popular sentiment. This may, to a certain extent,
be true ; and, it is equally t ue, that some politi
cians think they outjht to lead popular opinion. In
the hope that we may yet see the speech entire, w e
will make no further comment at this time, upon
this point; but simply ask the gentleman if he does
not in a great measure owe bis present position to
the power of the press.
There are other matters in this speech to which
we may advert.
Daring Robbery at Barnwell C. H —On
Wednesday morning last, between 8 and 9 o’clock,
die Commissioner’s office was entered, and a port
folio, containing upwards of three hundred dollars,
besides one or two thousand dollars worth of notes,
abstracted therefrom. Mr. Bellinger had stepped
into the Sheriff’s office to transact some business,
which required but a few minutes, and on his re
turn, miseed the portfolio. Suspicion rests on no
one that we have heard, and up to the present time
nothing lias been discovered that will lead to the
detection of the thief —Barnwell Standard.

you speak to me ’
Uar sprightly rc ghbot gees on to say that the
election at Mr. Wiughi by the people of this dis
trict “would bs a repudiation of the Democratic
party—o repudiation of the administration cf Guv.
Brown—and a repudiation of the mho’e eouiee
of their late distinguished Roprteentative, Mu.
Stephens, upon the question oi slavery in Sue
Territories. It is needless for ua to say that under
these circumstances, Lis election is impossible. 1l 0
people of the Bth District ate not prepared virtually
to repudiate the Democratic party, President
Buchanan, Gov Brown, and A. LI. brtransa, to
elect A. K. Wright to (Jeugre.?.
Well the election cf Lot. Wright will be a re
pudiation of Buchanan Democracy and Brown,
aud we believe the people, ful'ouing theleadof our
contemporary , are refdy, willing and acajous to
repuuiato them by electing A. R. Wright to Con
grees. But why would the election of Mr. Wright
any more than the election of Mr. Jones, to arc
pud iat ion cl Mr. Btei’Hlsnj' 1 mLole course c the
subject of slavery in the Territories V The p eople
of the District are not sitting in judgment < a Mr.
Stethens course, mhe is out oi public ls% and
not a candidate for any office. But did u I Mr.
Jones repudiate the course of Mr Si nruEas u the
Clayton Compromdii, and on the California *
Mexico and Utah bills of ISofJ— tire Comp, mice
measure, ao called ! We ark for information, end
hope we shall get it. In regard to the Kauris bill,
Mr. Stephens, Mr. Jones and Mr. Wiuoht ali agree
upon the principle that the people shall determine
the question of slavery for themselves—subject to
the constitution —with the distinct understanding
that under the Constitution of the U, S. the people
of the Territories can have no right eo to legislate
as to exclude slavery, or in any manner, in the
slightest degree, to impair the rights of the slave
holder. But Mr. Wright insists that this under
standing shaU be the fundamental policy of the
country , shall be the. rule of the Government, and
there he has the advantage—there the people are
with him.
But why insist on lugging iu Mr. Stephens’
course on slavery, to bolster up Mr. Joses, any
more than hid course on the Mexican war, ou the
acquisition of Territory, oa Pierce and his Free
soil appointments, or anything else '! Does not the
(Jous/iluliottalut. hold that the question of slavery
is settled This game will never do. As Mr.
Jones is not yet a lixed fact—some even question
ing his identity, os he denies the soft impeachment
of Jenks —we must be content, as yet, to 'lix
him as as the mum candidate, and a such we nhall
hold him up to the gaze of an indignant pcoj le.
iTbo Constitutionalist seems surprised that l_ I
Wright should say that the Missouri restriction
was not repealed by the Kansas bill, but thkt m
simply the truth. That restriction was in effect
removed by the New Mexico and Utah bills of Mr.
Fillmore, as we were lold all over this laud in 1850
by Mr. Stephens, Mr. Toombs and other friends of
the Compromise. The Kanaas-Nebraska biilsimpiy
declared it inoperative and void there, because
inconsistent with the legislation of 1850. in relation
to the appropriations, we presume our neighbor’s
information is at fault.
Democratic Reniionsiliillly,
We are always told when au election is on lmnd, j
and often tauntingly told, as by Senator Toe mbs in |
his usual tirades, that tlfe Democratic party is the
only party true to the South—the only party true
to a pur Gy revenue system—the only party opposed
to extravagance and in favor of economy and re
trenchment of the public expenditures—the only
party opposed to gigantic schemes of internal im
provement plundering—in short, the only party that \
can save us. We are triumphantly pointed to the He. 1
mocracy as the only hope of the country, the only j
and the ai’-powerfui bulwark which shall turnback
the mighty wave of fanaticism, and right the old |
ship of State on the billowy sea of conflicting in- 1
teresta, Whatever of good is done, it is claimed
tar the Democratic majority —when evii is done, it
is laid at the-door of the Opposition minonty. —
Adding insult to injury, travelling mountebanks, in
their public speeches, following the lead of Uieir
prers, arc bo unfair as to class together the North
era and Southern Opposition, 'they have not the
candor to inform the people that the Southern Op
poi ition L els ro sympathy with the Northern, and
desires no concert of action. The Opposition in
Georgia is a : much arrayed against the Republi
cans, as against the Democratic party. We would
sutler martyrdom before we would lift a little finger
to assist either of them, as at present organized, man
aged and controlled. Much as we desire the over
throw of the Democratic party—much as we abhor
ile triekciy, frauds, corruption and violation of
pledgee -much as we detest its act ad principles,
our enmity is not such as e>-:r to inducens to strike
’.c- ■ tc A Krtniouciu* to beat the Demooiacy.
And such we believe to be the actuating, principle
ofthotS uthein Opposition. Why, then, should we
be 00 insultingly classed together ?
But who is really responsible tor the failure of the
Kansu; Lucompton bill, who is responsible for the
English swindle, who is responsible for the extrava
gant appropriations of the General Government
under Hit wdtub 1 .1 ration of James Buchanan (in

The Litrleues* of a Great Parly.
The in-' -l oontroling argument used m 1857,
by Democratic presses and Democratic stump
| speakers, to induce the people to Vote for Demo
I cratie candidates (or Congress, was the strength o
! the Northern w ing of their party, and its wil ing J
j cess to eepourecio cause in a contest for our rights,
, .and ou the other hand the insignificance of the
Araerh an pa fy in the same section, and their «•■;-
>i\tlinu'iUs.i :» defend us when a sailed by the
Republican party. This argument had much force,
and gained I >r the Democracy immense majorities
throughout the Southern S'.&.ca. They taunted the
opposition with their weakness, and utter inability
to accomplish any good for the South or the coun
try—ridiculed the idea of their tow representatives
occupying seats upon ;ke f; ye of Congress without
a party, aud v.iLcut the iofl-teuce to control a
tingle mease; e.a mat b ~y. They then pointed
to the great us i ua . constitutional, liartnonious
Democ. ati o par fy—-c s hed upon the South to look
to it at- tar. only aim turn hope of safety—their
Northers brethren wc:e numerous aud sound, had
ever advocated our rigeu. and “ stood by us in
the hour ui pt iiS,' had paired tire glorious Kansas
bib, an-i w .»«!,; er .• the principles of that bill fa th
fuily ob- avrd oad cs tablianed ar tb“ duality of the
dmtiac.liug ar> ! dr, ■ -,‘>on!r : ; *•! ivory question.
What was the •/.oi T Vi’beu the occasion firs
l".i r.utf l t. • in the bill for the admission ot
K'moas, irdr the Kecoinpton Constitution, to
cany into pr«ctu a 1 operation those principles, if
was fouuii thaf so many of their faithful Northern
frien la, led off by the father and champion of the
Kaue&a bill, had yielded to the pressure of freeaoil
sentiment , a3 to leave the great Democratic party
utterly powerless cad incapable of fulfilling the
pledges ao il-iuntingly volunteered to ttirr Southern
constituents.
By reason of this desertion of their Northern
allies, the bill was defeated, Kansas rejected, the
Democratic pledges . violated, and the South de
ceived. The question then was, how shall the
Democratic members sustain themselves at hems !
The first plan devised was that miserable subter
fuge, the English Bile, pretending to the South to
admit Kansas, but practically referring the Consti
tution back to the people for ratification, as the
disaffected Northern Democrats had demanded, and
for the purpose of conciliating them. This failed.
The flimsy pretext in the hurry and excitement of
the occasion was badly covered up, and immediate
ly di-.covered aud condemned by the Southern
peop.iu. Ac a last resort, they hit upon the expedi
ent, b.* unworthy & g reat national party , and so
incurs e, with their boasting, of casting the
whole responsibility upon a few Southern Ameri
can- win voted against the bill. Had it passed by
the ald of their votes, the Democrats would have
claimed all the credit, and proclaimed it a triumph
of Democratic principles and a further proof ot
the soundness ot the Democratic party— but since
it was lest by the defection of twenty Northern
Democrats, upon whose support the South was
exhorted to depend, the ignominy and blame is
heaped upon a half dozen Americana whose aid
was uot expected but despised, and whose eirength
waa too insignificant to, deserve any notice hut
ridicule and contempt.

in a private note—“l have always voted the Dem
ocratic ticket, but for reasons stated can do so
no longer. The Democratic party is no longer
National, in Georgia, and the South is preparing to
nominate and support Stcthen A. Douglas, and

There are thousands of just such Democrats in
Georgia, who ore proving themselves superior to

For the Chronicle 4* Sentinel.
Hark from the Toombs !
Mr. Editor I listened with a good degree o's
interest to the speech of our lion. Senator Toombs
at Concert Hall, last evening, and was much amused
by his system of reasoning. “ The party to which
l am attacked” was his theme. His most prominent
position was, that “w,” the Democratic party, have
accomplished wonders for the country. ‘“We” set.
tied the slavery agitation in 1787. “We” adjusted
the vexed question of the return of fugitives from
labor. “We” established the Missouri Compromise
of 1820. “We” annexed Texas. “We'’ fought the
battle of Mexico, and secured California. “We”
declared the Missouri Compromise to be unconsti
tutional. “We” repudiated in Congress the idea of
Congressional Intervention in regard to slavery in
the Territories. “We” have safely conducted the
ship of State through all the perilous times of po
litical disturbance and danger from the time of
“Washington” down to the present, day. And “ice,”
felbw citizens, are the only organized political par
ty now in existence, who have any claims upon
your respect or confidence. Now, this is ail very
well for “ Bunkum bat when we take up the record
of Congress, ana also the record of the Honorable
gentleman’s private political career, and find, as we
think we can, that every rote and every speech,
and every act, of his, dui mg his entire political life
up to 1854 standing out in “living light” in direct
antagonism to every act of the party who adopted
ail the above named political measures, we* are
f--rced to the conclusion that a mighty change “has
come over the spirit of his dreams” recently, and
common honesty would seem to dictate that he
should give credit and honor to whom credit aud
honor may be due. Again, with what thriiiing and
sublime pathos lie eulogized the Squatter Sovereign
champion of Illinois—cbaractei izieg him as a bold,
manly, far-seeing, and true national patriot, while
every movement, every act and every vote o f this
same distinguished “patriot ’ (?) (as the record will
i show,) ia, until very recently, in open opposition to
i the movements, acts and votes of our Honorable
[ Senator c n all que- lions of political importance.
After thus exuding the virtues of Mr. Douglas,
and finding that it did not lair, with his audience
to suit him, he stated distinctly that he did net
agree with, but scouted, the principles advocated
by Mr. Douglas, thus virtually acknowledging
i that he was neither marly, honest, or patriotic.
Again: iiis consist vary on the subject of the
!• national expenditures was about'in keeping with
i the above, lit? - the “Democratic
j pa tv, are not re.-pons, h.e tor the manifest corrup
; non m the govtim. on! p-rtnining to expenditures ”
i li is not She part ,> » hr* d > them extravagant act >.
It is only rue-tube : *>t Congress (rum different

j principle t "yon h ■ mi. and J tUickhyon you
i ai l me m getting s„,i appropriation for my (Jus
i tom House and 1 will ail you in getting your Post
; Office appropriation through &c. And “thus and
[ then,” says the honorable gentleman, “you are
! swindled, taxed and robbed, fedow citizens, and
j t e Opposition would have you believe that we,
j t'je Democratic party, are responsible.” Hi 3 argu
; inent was simply this: “It ij true that we have
[ always had a clear working majority in both
l branches of the National Legislature; we have a
Dame emtio Executive; cur judicial y system is
I complexly in the bauds and under the control of
; our party ; it; shut, we alone possess the national
j power by which a’i this vast system is put in mo

: from debt and taxation, from the fact that the
l South sent to Congress sis live Americans, who all
voted agau -ff u.- n a body, aud thus thwarted aii

Such is the import of the gentleman's address to
his Democratic friends-. but I am free to accord to
him consistency w .crover ho manifested any, anu

The provisions of the Bank Law could not lie
complied with. The Banks must be relieved some
how, scan f (liter of one or more of the Banks ap
plied to the Governor j r ipouu'Jing two import ant
j la a reply, ei between four ami five
closely written payee, the Governor {ponders
through on argument which makes ‘•confusion
worseconfounded.” In that letter fae says:
j “As a persona! friend, however, and not as a
i public officer, I Kill give you my opinion on the
two points mentioned in ycur letter, which is not
; designed for poblicatikn, but which you are at lib
erty to shew- t s such blende as are interested, pro
■ vtded you do it in such manner that the opinion
I shall not become the subject of newspaper com
j meut."
I Mow, citizens of Georgia, what think you of the j/
i Why should the Governor be applied tj "m this case,
, more than in any other, as to his opinion of a law ?
l Why could not legal advice be obtained on this, as
: well as on other statutes, without applying to the
Governor ■ Was the law so complex and amfcigu
! ous that the bet t lawyers iu our chief cities could
1 no' understand and cot .-true it ?
As Governor, in order to gain favor with the peo
pie, he voted a Bill for the relief of the suspended
Banks—whereupon the Legislature passed a bi.l
over his head having that object in view. The
apparent meaning of the law involves duties the
Banks cau.rot discharge—3o the Governor casts
aside his roberef office and gives his opiaiou “as a
friend, and not as a public officer/’ as to how the
law may be apparently obeyed, and the Bank
officers saved from perjury ! His veto Message
was published to the word, why could not this
letter be ! Why should secrecy be enjoined ? lie
felt that be was doing a wrong, and a moan thing.
Publicly, he proteases great concern for the dear
people and denounces Bank monopolies— privately,
he connives with the Banks as to how the law
passed by the people may be evaded !
Such demagoguism, deception and political cor
ruption deserves and will receive the public con
demnation. The very fact that he was thus ap
proached and applied to, shows that the Bank knew
their man—that his veto cud pretend d opposition
to Backs was not real —that they could get what
they pleased—and they got it! "But how? On
what eruditions? The Governor says his letter
"is not designed for publication and that lie will
give it with “liberty to show it to such friends as
are interested, prodded you do it i n such manner
that the opinion shall not become the subject of
newspaper comment.’’
Now Georgians, mark well that language I—His
letter is not designed for publication— v;hyt Hta
Veto was designed for publication and was pub
lished—why could no. ihie -letter be published?
What was there iu if he we ashamed of? Di t lie
feel guilty as he wrote 7 Why should he express
such a d -sire ? Why '•Vue . letter to one B ink all
should not Bea ? Or, •hy write to the Banks pri
vately. secretly, went ltoi people should not ece ?
Wh y !
But, above all it must be shown to “snob friends
as are interested’’ only in such away as not to
"become the subject oj newspaper comment! I"
Mow, why ?—Gov. Brown, why ? What is there in
it the people eiiouid not see and know / Wiiat
trick arc y„u row playiDg ? What is in that letter
that makes you deprecate and dread “newspaper
comment !” It the people’s rights are not invaded
by your secret understanding with the Banks, why
tear any and all newspaper comment/ Tyrants
and. demagogues only, shun the free discussions of
their documents and measures in the newspapers—
it is they, and only they, who fear to have what
they say and do subjected to “newspaper corn
merit.”
There are but two ways of avoiding “newspa
per comment.” One is the bold and courageous
ono of despots, of suppressing the press entirely, or
overawing it by heavy penalties by law. The
other is the cowardly one of privately and secretly
corresponding as Governor Brown has done, with
the injunction that it must not “become the’ sub
ject of newspaper comment.” And here we have
tue Governor of Georgia, our Chief Executive,
occupying the seat of power, secretly corresponding
with bodies, whom, in his public documents, he
pretends to be the enemies of the people. Georgi
ans, of all parties, what do vou think of it ? A
Democratic Governor of your State writing letters
deeply affecting the oublic interests, which he is
afraid for the people to see! Can such a letter be
consistent with the position of the Governor of
Georgia, and especially of such a very Democratic
Governor as Joseph E. Brown—such a great frieud
of the dear people ? Away with such a humbug
down with such alow demagogue and unscrupulous
deceiver! —Atlanta A me, nan

declared himself unqualifiedly for Douglas sorts -
Presidency. They interpret his remark that h»
would “vote for Douglas sooner than for any man or

he would in no event support any other than a
Democrat. It signifies a great deal more- it implie.,

Now suppose an Opposition Congressman from

Senator Toombs, declare that he would support
