ing hand. Ever since tho days of the elder
Napoiecii, when lie was banished from his
riglitful.thronc, and a hateful Bourbon substi
tuted in his place, by the tyrunts of Europe,
Italy lias boon tho spoil of foreigners
and strangers. Those evor-momorable nnd
nover-to-bc-forgotten campaigns of Napoleon,
which rescued her from the thraldom' of
Austrian tyranny, and her re-occupation by
that power, were but tho beginning of a
dark and fearful drama in her history, which
will eventually cud in the permanent estab
lishment of her independence. In what a
glorious work is Franco cugaged then, if
she has no sinister designs ! How refresh
ing to feel that this hallowed land will be
restored to its primeval happiness, Aw when
Venice arose, rockod on the bosom of the
Adriatic, her Queen and Spouse, and when
Venetian splendor dazzled the world 1 She
can be nought but Austria’s pvoy.while under
her rule, whoso very name is synonymous
with ignorance, superstition and absolution,
and fraught with evil to mankind. Look at
Hungary and Poland bleeding at every poro
—the plunder of this haughty Power. The
blood of tliose noble Poles, Kosciusko and
his corn-patriots call fur revenge. In the
track of her armies are desolation, woe
and death.
We hope the present Emperor of Franco
Is sincere in his desire to froo Italy, and not
make her a pliant tool for the accomplish
ment of some ambitious object, not for bis
aggrandizement but for her good. Like his
noble uncle may he honor the land of Virgil,
the home of a Michael Angelo, and the
abodo of genius. May it never bo said of
Italy as it was of Greece :
“ Ah! Eloqnsnoe tbon wast nitdona,
Want (row Iby native country driven,
Whoo tyrants eclipse tbe sun
And blotted oat the stars of Hoaven.’’
But may Bhe thore abide covered with Lib
erty’s protecting wing, and guarded by her
eagle eye. These reflecting have been called
up by tho interesting events which are now
taking place in that hallowed country,
will not further trespass on your patience.

“ A thousand hearts oro great within his bosom—’'
“ He tintttv» heart amt arm, bis own blue shy
Abovo him nml liis own green land around.’ •
The argument of Mr.Hill on the duty of
Congress to protect Slavery in tho Territo
ries is unanswerable, liis views on tl.e
duty of the South are clear and patriotic.—
lie speaks out like a true man nnd a devot
ed patriot, ns lie is. No time serviug.poli-
cy suits Dim. What lie enunciates arc the
outspoken convictions of an honest man and
a dauntless spirit. He risen supomov to
parly, mat, poisidt upon Ids.own great mind
and spirit, assumes, gloriusly independent,
his.jyisitioii on the rights of tho South, mid
her remedy if denied them. He calls on
Governor Brown and the Southern Democra
cy to cut loose from those at the North whom
many of tlioir own leaders toll them have
diverted and betrayed them, and to unite in
one great party, firmly standing on tho
Bights of the South. If they heed the call,
it will seal the sincerity of tlioir professions
—if tliiiy.ilo not, they Will damn themselves
with tliq'itigma of preferring party to Gouti-
ttSr&PWh to the Bights of their section.
JPw is the time when such men us Mr,
Hau should be nt tbe head of affairs, or in

demagogues and political dwarfs. The coun
try demands tlioir services, and they should
not be withheld. We hope they will not lie.

" We hope that no one will neglect to read
ami reflect upon Mr. Hill’s letter. As a rep-
resentative man, liis opinions on political
subjects urc matters of interest; nnd when
he treats tlim., with *hc nine and clearness
displayed in this letter, every vote!' should
give them due consideration. The letter
entirely dispels the charge 1 of tho Democratic
papers (and it, Was a favorite argument With
Mr. Glopton in his recent canvass) that Mr,
Hill is in favor of a party Union with Black
lte.ptiblicans, ignoring the question of slave

It is not necessary here to name the Re
publicans as they all voted nay, If these
57 Democrats had voted for the proposition
it would have passed, but they by their
votes defeated it, and gave the preference
for tho Montgomery amendment; and now
some of tho leaders of that party seizo upon
a vote which was taken afterwards, in which
“ six Southern Americans” voted against
them, and acciiRO them of defeating the
moasure. But they in tj?is last vote, have
not tho honesty to acknowledge that 28 De
mocrats voted precisely as tho “six Southern
Americans” did,
the party that was elected to save the South
sacrificed the South, to save. t\\cparty ! During
the canvass tho cry was, elect, us and savo’tho
South 1 Aftor tho olection and the work
was done the cry was, we have sacrificed the
South to save us! And now, (can oven
gullibility itself credit it ?) this same party
is calling to tho people again "elect us and
save the South I” Was ever wrong so mean,
or impudeuce so barefaced ?
The great evil of tho Democratic party is,
that it gives a respectability to wrong to the
South, which it could acquire from no ot.hor
source. If tho Republican party hodjmssed
tho English Bill, what would, our Southern
Governors have done ? If Wm. II. Seward
was the father of Territorial Sovereignty,
and non-protection to slave property, how
many Southern men and newspapers would
be recommending him for the Prosidencoy ?
If John P. Hale had come to New Orleuus
and made tho speech for Unfriendly Terri to-j
and feathers would have complimented him
Tho masses in 1866 and 1857, ^cre deceived;
in yotiug for the Democracy ; they trusted;

of Marietta. There being much political
excitement nt, the time, tho canvass partook
of a political nature, and as much so as Joe
Brown and his-friends could inake it. This
was done for this purpose of securing Joe.’s
election. Not having any legal merit, he
appealed to the Democratic party which was
largely in the ascendant in tho district, to
elevate him to the bench. (It should have
been a pillory.) Ho visited the city of At
lanta and appealed to "the editors of the In
telligencer, to advocate the claims of " Col.
Drown, of Cherokee." They did oo to some
extent, but it was not satisfactory. The
capabilities, excellencies, legal attainments,
and superhuman qualifications of “Cel.
Brown,” wore not set, forth in language sufli-
cioiitly explicit and cogent. Whereupon
"Col, Brown” proposed to wrlto on cditoriul
about “ Col. Browit” This was assented to,
nnd in the Intelligencer, the 24th of Sept,,
1855, can bo found this rare gein of self
inflated laudation. For four of nauseating
lliu public, wo will only make one extract of
the modest character. Road it.
“If lie (Judge Irwin) had taken the open,
candid und independent course pursued by
Col. Brown, his opponent, nnd avowed his^
sentiments without disguise or double deal
ing,lie would nftt now stand in the unenvia
ble position lie now occupies before the com
munity,” * * * “Rut the,trick is
exposed, the people have learned the secret,
and on Monday next they will stamp the
seal of tlioir condemnation upon it and will
eievato Co). Brown to the Bench—a gentle
man eminently qualified, and one who is not
ashamed of Ins principles, or afraid to avow
them.” 1
Now reader reflect. The question may be
asked Upon what authority do we make this
eliarge. Wo answer that the authority is in-
contestihlo. It is from a gentleman who was
connected with tlioofiicoof tho Intelligencer
at tho timo the article was written. W
chullengo an investigation.

The meeting was presided over by two
gentlemen—one of each party. If I mifttako
not, and 1 think A am correct, that during
one of Col. Gurtrell’s speeches the Demo
cratic Chairman retired from the Chair, giv
ing as a reason that the discussion was be
coming personal. Col. AVright disclaimed
ever having been personal intentionally,
and challenged his opponent or any one else
to show it—which they failed tlf do. This
little disturbance was amicably settled be
tween the two gentlemen and tlic discussion
closed. r
Considering the premises, Col. Gartrell*
done exceedingly well and acted, liis port

Now, Mr. Editor, in conclusion, let ttus

Poor Gartrell! SaB
The Opposition candidate is causing this
distinguished stumper nn unusual amount of
trouble and perplexity. In McDonough, tho
other duy, he was made to say ho would not
support Douglas if lie was Ruminated by
the Charleston Convention. This was an
awful step to be forced to.take, lint, bad as
it was, at Jonesboro’, he wont still further.
At the latter place, Gul. AVright made a splen
did argument in favor of Congressional pro
tection' to slavery in tha Territories. His
hold and manly Southern position on this
question was received with enthusiastic ap
plause. This being perceived by Col. Qur-
trell, lie resolved on a bold stroke of policy
whereby to regain bis lost ground.
When, therefore, Col. Wright concluded.
Col. Gartrell in his answer claimed lie had
always occupied that ground, and tluit he ad
vocated it as long ago ns 1840 1 l’oor fel
low 1 perceiving that tho Newnan Platform,
which ho tries to ridicule, und its able expo
nent were gaining popularity rapidly, ho
concluded he would make a bold push, ami
try to secure the applause for himself! In
doing this ho runs immediately afoul his.or*
gan here, tho “ IntoHigcncor,” which holds
and has tried to prove, that Slavery cannot
go into tho Territories under tlse Common
Law, and that tho doctrine of Congressional
protection is a false one.
As nothing is so inconsistent in Democra
cy ns to prevent harmony, wo presume that
this will bo regarded us u minor princiidt-*
entitled to little or no consideration, and bS
no means of sufficient importance—although
tho dearest rights of tlic South are involved,
to cause a disagreement. Four Gartrell I
