The Constitutional Union Party.
It may be well, to revert to the events which
roug 11 ns party into existence, and to present to
ie pu i c from time to time, its great fundamental
principles and designs. By universal admission,
the Constitution and the Union were in eminent
penl from factious and sectional assault in 1850.—
be spirit of fanaticism and ultraism, threatened to
engulph our free institutions, and with them entomb
forever the brightest hopes of tlie Christian & patriot.
In this emergeny, Gceorgia spoke—spoke through
iPr noaIe sons uttered the words of profound wis-
dom and lofty patriotism—rehearsed her complaints
in language explicit and dignified, and avowed her
^termination sternly to guard her rights and honor
trom lawless infractions.
1 o do this, the friends of the Union proposed no
sectional league—the formation of no Southern par
ty. Knowing no north, no south, but cherishing
an a biding love for tlie glorious fabrick reared by
t e strong bands of their patriot fathers, they hailed
as brethren all who were willing to unite with them
in the preservation and maintenance of tlie Consti
tution and the Compromise, irrespective of old par
ty ties or issues. That in its principles and designs
ihe Constitutional Union party was entirely nation
al, and not sectional, is evident from the following
resolutions which form the basis of its organization.
At an adjourned meeting of the friends of the
Union (where was Judge Johnson then?) “as
sembled in large force in the Representative Hall,
Gen. Wofford in the chair; (where is Gen. Wofford
nmc? ;llas > ;llas! ) the committee appointed to set
forth the principles of the Constitutional Union
part) , snbmitted through their chairman, Mr. Un
derwood—(and where is Col. Underwood ? Echo
answers, where?) the following Report:
“Whereas, the present exigency of public af-
tairs, demands of patriots of all parties, to unite for
the preservation of our rights and tlie Union of
these States—and whereas the questions which
have heretofore divided the Whig and Democratic
parties of Georgia, were questions of policy affect
ing the administration of the Government, rather
than its existence, and by the course of events,
have greatly diminished in practical importance
and ought to be held subordinate to the fundamen
tal questions now dividing the country.
T it therefore Resolved. That the friends of the
Union in this State, organize themselves into a par
ty-, upon the principles of the Report of the Com
mittee ot Tliirty’-three, this day adopted by the Con
vention now assembled, and use all proper means
for the maintenance and success of these principles
throughout the State and the Union.
Be it further Resolved, That said party- be known
as the Constitutional Union party-, and that we are
ready to extend the right hand of fellowship to the
patriots^ of all parts of the Union, and of all politi
cal parties who agree with us upon these fundamen
tal principles, and that we will unite in council with
them on all proper occasions for consultation, and
to devise means for their supremacy throughout the
whole extent of the Republic.”
Here then in few and explicit words we have tlie
real objects of the Union party set forth, viz:—
“ The preservation of our rights and the Union of
these States.” Was there any thing sectional in
this ? Did not the truly national men throughout
tlie country approve our principles and applaud our
position ? Do not the Union Renublicans of Geor
gia stand now precisely- where they- did then ? And
do not conservative men every ivherc, respond to our
platform of principles and desire the success of our
cause ? Let us hear no more of sectionalism in as
sociation with the Union men, who are the only- true
national men in the Republic.
Is He ncti Qualified ?
Never in the history- of Georgia has there proba
bly been a period, when the public interest and
public safety- more imperatively required at the
helm of State, wisdom and prudence—enlightened
and profound statesmanship, than the present.—
We say public safety- because, although the dark
storm which threatened to overwhelm us in 1850-’51
has measurably- spent its fury, still the elements of
discord, fanaticism and disunion are yet alive and
diffused through the land, and only- wait a propitious
occasion, again to collect and assimilate, prepara
tory to another fierce assault upon the Constitution
and the Union. Docs any one doubt this, let him
mark the mighty struggle now going on between
the different wings of “reunited democracy,” and the
efforts now put forth to get control of the Federal
Government, and subordinate its patronage and
power to subserve their ulterior and desperate de
signs.
It is hardly necessary to say, that under this
critical aspect of things, it would be madness in the
people of Georgia to entrust their Federal relations
to the care and direction of an open and avowed
secessionist. What would now have been tlie con
dition of Georgia—what the condition of this great
and prosperous and UNITED Republic; what the
hopes of rational freedom throughout the world,
if the dark and dismal schemes of Khett, McDonald,
Colquitt, and JOHNSON and their maddened com
peers had reached their longed for consummation ?
Does not tlie mind of every- patriot, even now,
when the tempest is temporarily- stilled, involuntari
ly shudder as it contemplates the overwhelming
ruin plotted by these infatuated men against the
best and proudest government ou earth ? Does not
the bosom of every friend of the Union swell with
righteous indignation at the bare recollection of the
nefarious designs of this misguided band—designs
which if perfected and permitted would have in
volved this country in all tlie horrors of civil strife,
and clothed in desolation and mourning a land
that now smiles in beauty under the reign of peace
and plenty ?
And now people of Georgia, what do you tiling ?
Will you believe it, that one of the most bitter
and maliamant secessionists—one whose deep ha
tred to Union principles and Union men, was evinc
ed by the utterance of the harshest and most insult
ing epithets in the very presence chamber of tlie
Union’s safety—where the venerable Spalding with
hoary locks presided, and, like the genius of Liber-
tv, should have awed into respect, it not acquies
cence, every opposing spirit—where the noble
Jenkins supported and cheered by the patriotic and
good of every party, stood up in defence of tlie
rights of the South and the integrity of the Union—
would you believe it, that Herschel V. Johnson,
without repentance or retraction, now asks the
highest office in your bestowment ? Will lie re
receive it ? Is lie qualified to manage prudently
and safely our Federal relations ? Will he not
seek to embroil us in difficulties with the General
Government, in order to consummate the Nashville
scheme of a Southern Confederacy ? People of
Georgia ponder these things, not as Whigs and De
mocrats—not as mere partizans, but as patriots.—
Ask yourselves, is Mr. Johnson “well qualified” to
maintain for Georgia her present conservative and
commanding attitude ?
Read and Digest.
Wc have filled our columns this week mainly
with political matter. We desire that the numerous
readers of the Recorder, shall know the true issues
now before the country, and hence wc have cope
several able articles from reliable sources, and com
mend them to the dispassionate perusal of a 1 who
desire to know tl.o truth. When read, pass the Re
corder to your Democratic neighbors. They aie
honest and sincere, doubtless, in their opimons
and, patriotic in their aims, and will gladly pursvm
the right when the right they know. In the, present
contest, let sound reason, not patty F P J U ’
trol the public mind. Heed not the voice ot misrep
resentation. Examine and judge for yourseh e .
If in your heart you believe Johnson more sound,
more discreet, and every way better qualmed to
ffU ;de and guard the affairs of this great State than
Jenkins, vote for him. If on the other hand, the
whole history of the latter proves him pre-emmcntl
deserving of your confidence, let no party ties,
r drill prevent the free and independent
name, ^ jud?ment .. The security
of the^mblic interest and safety, is more important
than the mere triumph of a party name.

party of Chattan. They are ■«» f sl “ d ‘ n -

•s he Wise? Is he Discreet?
These are questions cf profound interest at this
lime to tlie people of Georgia, whilst they are can-
v assing and urging the claims of aspirants for re
sponsible office. Wisdom and discretion, are indis
pensable qualifications, especially iu an executive of
ficer. Does Judge Johnson possess these pre-re
quisites ? Is he not proverbially indiscreet and im
prudent? We do not question Lis private worth,
and we believe he labors hard to control and sub
due the natural irrascibility of Ifis temper, which has
so often betrayed him into the utterance of improp
er words. AY ho jean suppose, that he would have
said he looked upon the Union Convention with
contempt, composed as it was of the wisdom and
worth of tlie State, and presided over, by the ven
erable Spalding, if he had given Jfimself a moment’s
reflection ? It is true he did writedown Union men
“knaves oii fools,” but tliis not very complimen
tary' allusion, we may trace to the same hasty and
unguarded temper.
AH admit that Judge Johnson is a man of strong
prejudices—of overbearing disposition, insomuch
that wc believe he has never before ventured to
place himself before the people for any r office—and
it is asserted that in this district, where he is best
known, probably, he will likely receive proportion
ately tlie smallest vote, whilst Mr. Jenkins, who is
improperly denounced as an aristocrat and foe to
the poor man, but who is well known in this com
munity' as the urbane gentleman and poor man’s
friend, will get in this vicinity, several democratic
votes.
Now, without any unjust disparagement of Judge
Johnson’s claims, we will ask the people of Georgia
whether it will be wise and discreet in them, to en
trust the guardianship of all their great and vital
interests to one so proverbially and incurably
impulsive and imprudent ? In liis character and
.History’, have you any guaranty that he will “ guide
your affairs with discretion ?” Charles J. Jenkins
and his worthy co-adjutors, in well devised and well
executed systems of internal improvements; in
promoting the construction of railroads, canals, and
other public works—in well-regulated monied insti
tutions, lias given to Georgia a position and pros
perity at once proud and gratifying to her noble
sons. Should not one who li:ts labored so wisely
and discreetly, and so untiringly—who has contri
buted so largely to place our glorious State in her
present commanding position, receive your richest
and highest bestowments ? Does not gratitude de
mand it ? Does not the public weal require it ?—
Answer us as patriots, not as partizans.
Democratic Testimony.
Said an influential Democrat to us the other day r ,
“I know Mr. Jenkins well. I was with him much
in the legislature ; and whether in the chair, on the
floor, or in the committee room, I always found him
the same bold and stem adherent to principle.”—
“He would sacrifice both himself and his party,”
continued this gentleman, “before he would deviate
in the slighest degree from what he believed right.”
Ho is too honest said lie for a politician. Such fel
low-citizens, is the character of the man, according
to the testimony of his political opponents even,
who is now presented for your suffrages. Are you
not willing to trust him ? Yes, verily’!
A Small Mistake.
Onr cotemporary of the Georgia Citizen, intimates
that the Scott YYhigs, as he calls them, of Muscogee
county, will not give Mr. Jenkins a hearty support.
He never missed the mark further in liis life and
he has occasionally missed it many a rod. The
people of Muscogee are generally intelligent and
well posted up as to matters and things in general,
and particularly as to the merits of II. V. Johnson,
and Charles J. Jenkins. They will act accordingly.
Sclah.—Columbus Enq.
Tlie above we believe is a pretty’ fair exhibit of
the state of feeling in every part of the State, so
far as we have reliable information. That there
will always be some disaffected spirits, who are
ready to ruin when they cannot rule, is to be ex
pected—but as they are governed by passion rather
than principle—selfishness rather than patriotism,
their influence is quite limited.
Correct Views.
A portion of the press, is in the habit of grossly
and wantonly assailing the private character and
religious relations of those who dare to express
their sentiments upon political questions. The
Southern Democrat, thus rebukes this grovelling
spirit in noticing the accession of Judge Warren
who is a Baptist preacher, to to the editorial ranks:
“We wish the Judge the most abundant success
in every tiling but liis politics; which of course
we can have no fellowship for; and hope his Min
isterial character wiil survive the low, vulgar, and
billingsgate reflections, which a pitiful envy and
contemptible spleen lias hurled at it. The age has
not yet arrived, when the purity of a mail’s moral
character will doom him in the estimation of the
public, to a disfranchisement of the lights and du
ties of a citizen and patriot. Demagogues may
tremble, but patriots will rejoice in the anticipation
of the day, when the press—the great moral lever
of civilization and virtue, will be controlled by* the
purest and best men of the age.”
Judge Lambcrth.
The following letter of acceptance, from tliis wor
thy gentleman is so true and pertinent, that we can
not forego tlie pleasure of transferring it to our col
umns. For his adherence to Union principles, the
fire-eaters ran a candidate against him in 1852—now
tliey complain that lie will not support a party that
tried to defeat him. We beg our Union Democratic
friends to read Mr. Lambertli’s dispassionate and
lucid letter, “and govern themselves accordingly.”
TO THE VOTERS OF FLOYD COUNTY.
Fellow Citizens-.—Having been solicited by a
large number of my friends to become a candidate
for the Senate, 1 have at last consented, though it
involves great personal sacrifice on my part.
It is known to you all that I have been what is
sometimes termed an Old School Democrat, and I
saw with sorrow the efforts which were made by
the Secessionists in 1850-’5J, to seetionalize the
Democratic party. In Georgia those Secessionists
obtained the control of tlie Democratic organization,
and it became necessary for the sound men of both the
old parties to combine together in order to save the
Union from dismemberment. The Constitutional Un
ion party was the result. Of that party I was an
humble and faithful member, until in an evil hour it
was disbanded. v .
At tlie beginning of the present year it was at
tempted to re-organize the Democratic party upon
;t s ancient basis ' of fidelity to tlie Union, but the
Secession wing was too powerful ana prevented its
consummation. As far as I can see, the present Dem
ocratic organization is the old Southern Rights par-
tv under a new name. Ail its nominations are
made from the ranks of that party, and its whole
policy evinces a settled purpose to proscribe every
Conservative Democrat in the State. On the other
hand, the Republican party is constituted oil a
similar basis to the Constitutional Union party, and
as its nominees are reliable Union men, 1 unhesita
tingly give. them my' support. Mr. Jenkins is a
staunch Union man, and stands on the Georgia
Platform ; and notwithstanding lie is a Union Whig,
he is none the loss entitled to the cordial support of
every Union man who values liis principles more
than the name of Democracy’. For the same and
other satisfactory reasons, I shall sustain Judge
Trippe. lie is a gentleman of unblemished purity
of character, an able lawyer and an experienced
judge. These considerations are enough to influence
men of all parties to rally to liis support.
It may be asked if I am a supporter of the present
Administration. I answer promptly that I approve
of President Fierce’s Inaugural Address, but most
decidedly condemn liis numerous appointments of
Eree-soilers and Abolitionists to office. He is pur
suing a policy that will if preserved in, eventually
drive all the Conservatives of the country from liis
Administration.
For expressi g these views, I may probably be
condemned by some of my old Union Democratic
friends. I only ask them to give the foregoing an
impartial consideration. As for those small politi
cians who impeach my motives and assail my fair
fame, I despise their puny malice. The people of
Flovd county who have known me for the last
,/git teen years, will spurn the suggestion that I
have been swayed by selfish considerations. It is
painful for me to differ with any portion of my form
er political friends, but I must at all hazards adhere
to mv principles.
If elected, I shall, to the best of my ability, ad
vocate and support such measures as in my judg
ment are best calculated to promote the interests of
the State, and advance the moral, social and intel
lectual happiness of the people, and shall endeavor
to have modified or repealed such existing laws as
operate oppressively or partially, and substitute in
their place laws which will be equal and impartial
in their operation, as far as practicable.
Your fellow-citizen,
JESSE LAMBERTH.
Is it not strange
That the people of Richmond county, should not
liave found out before this, that Charles J. Jenkins
is an aristocrat and the enemy of the poor man, but
with dogged perseverence have pressed him Into
their service on all occasions, as worthy of all res
pect and confidence ?
Is it not strange that the legislators of Georgia,
should have promoted so often to the Speakersliip,
tliis odious enemy of popular suffrages, without the
fear of their constituents before their eyes ?
Is it not strange that one whom the people have
so long delighted to honor, is suddenly ascertained
to be opposed to our Southern institutions and un
worthy to be entrusted with their guardiansiiip ?
Is it not strange that the same party which de
nounces Mr. Jenkins as a Federalist, also asserts
that he is a Nullilier ?
These things are strange, passing strange—but it
will be still stranger, if any considerable portion of
the people of Georgia believe them ; and we have
greatly erred in our appreciation of their virtue and
intelligence, if these malicious and wilful misrepre
sentations are not signally rebuked in October next.
Hon. Asburv Hull of Clark lias been nominated
as a candidate for the Senate from that county, and
Drs. J. R. Carlton and J. P. Harden for the House.
Good selections.
YY'hat Does it Hean?
W e see that the Savannah Georgian places in its
editorial columns an article from the Macon Citizen,
nominating Judge Berrien for Governor, and sta
ting that whigs and democrats will support him.—
What does this mean ? Is the Georgian about to
join his Macon coadjutor in this new but hopeless sen
sation, and leave Johnson to his fate ?
The Gazette.
It is well known to all our readers, that the Ga
zette was ushered into existence some five years
since as a Whig paper, the editorial department be-
ing under the direction and management of an
other, and the mechanical department, that of our
self, both well known to belong to tliat party.—
Some twelve months since, the former editor dis
solved his connection with the paper, and we be
came sole editor and proprietor. No cliange was
made in the political complexion of the paper, but
a reiteration of its principles and devotion to the
same cause, have been evidenced in every issue
from then till now.
It is true names have changed, and the party to
which we liad always belonged, is now known by
another; but principles remain the same. And as
“a rose by any other name would smell as sweett”
we can as cordially support the same principles un
der a different name, as under the former. We ex
pect while we live to exercise tlie right of a free
man in casting our vote as we see proper, from Pre
sident down to a bailiff; and we shall use all lauda
ble means while conducting a press, to promote the
interest and advancement of the party to which we
belong. lienee, if we lire to see the day of elec
tion, we expect to cast a vote for Charles J. Jen
kins for Governor, and Alexander H. Stephens,
to represent this district in Congress, and the Re
publican Union candidates, for a seat in the next
Legislature; and we shall aid their elections so far
as we may be able through the columns of our pa
per.— Washington Gazette.
That is right, neighbor. These are no times to
jar and jower about names. We expect to seethe
Gazette do good service in the pending contest, and
success tc it and our cause, say we!
For the Recorder.
Messrs. Editors : One Herschel Y. Johnson, in
a speech delivered by him at Canton, in Cherokee
county, during the pendency of the Presidential elec
tion, in the fall of 1852, (last year) declared that
Union men, and especially Union democrats, had to
him a most offensive odor, and gave it as his deci
ded opinion that, in a short time, buzzards icould not
cat them, because of the mighty stench from their dead
carcasses! The Union men of the mountains wish
you to inform them if this is the same Herschel Y.
Johnson who is now asking them for their votes to
help him beat the Hon. Charles J. Jenkins, the
builder of the Georgia Platform, for the office of
Governor? If lie is the same man, we wish you,
Messrs. Editors, to tell him, or convey word to him,
some way, that, so far as we are concerned, up
here, in Cherokee, he can't come in ! !
CHEROKEE.
P. S. I forgot to mention that if the Federal
Union sees proper to deny that Mr. Johnson used
language, in substance, such as I have attributed to
him, in the foregoing article, proof of it can and will
be furnished, in certificates from at least one hundred
icitnesscs, who heard it all, and will swear to it, if
required! Cherokee.
For the Recorder.
Messrs. Editors—The Scott Whigs, whom the
Federal Union intimated some time ago were torics
and cowards, ought to feel under special obligations
to that veritable print for its voluntary services in
their behalf. If, however, its editors would really
consult our wishes, they will unite with us in the
cordial support of Mr. Jenkins. For with tlie ex
ception of that “ one Scott Whig” which the Union>
for lack of material magnified some time ago into a
dozen, I know of none of that class in tliis region,
who will oppose the election of Mr. Jenkins ; and
as a true Scott Whig, I am in a position to know as
much about their feelings as the editors of the
Union.
Equally untrue is the assertion of tlie Union that
not a single prominent Scott Whig has been nom
inated for office. Dr. Reese, the Union candidate
for Congress from this district, was among the first
that took a stand for Gen. Scott. Col. Trippe the
nominee from the 3rd district got up from a sick
bed and cast liis vote for Scott. Hon. Turner H.
Trippe, who will be elected to the Judgeship in
Cherokee Circuit, was a Scott elector. So also was
Judge Fleming the worthy Judicial candidate from
the 1st. The fact is, all this noise about dissensions
among tlie Union men is the veriest clap-trap.—
It emenates from sources just about as reliable as
the Federal Union, and passes for nothing among
tho well informed. A SCOTT WHIG.
For the Recorder.
The Algerine Law.
The Federal Union is a great stickler for the Ye-
to. What did the Algerine part of this law give to
the Board of Aldermen but a Yeto ? and only on
contracts of the City Council as far as money and
money alone was concerned. Very much like ad
ding the two, to our three usual branches of Gov
ernment : Governor, Senate, and House. How
beneficial just at this time would such a law be to
our own little city!
Wliat good Democrat is afraid to acknowledge
himself a friend to such a law when the names of
William B. Wofford, Robert M. Echols and Charles
J. McDonald, is printed at the end of the act ?—
Who's afraid ?
Considering how few democrats are in Augusta,
a good proportion of democrats signed the petition,
and the law was passed by a democratic legislature,
and approved of liy Governor McDonald. It can
not at the time have been so bad a law, when the
embodiment of the principles of the Fire-eating par
ty assented to its principles, and it was passed in
open day. Why does not the democratic Feder
al Union give a blow, even if it was only a fly-blow,
to a certain City Council that sits and has sat fur
years in secret session, and has never yet published
its proceedings ?
The Federal Union’s small-sliot is tlie theme he
seems sensitive on. Men are generally jealous of

A Hew Melon.
Wc had tlie pleasure yesterday of receiving a let- [
ter from C. A. Peabody, Esq., editor of the “Soil j
of the South.” Among other things lie says : “en- I
closed please find some of the Orange Water Melon [
seed, a very singular, beautiful and excellent melon, j
By cutting into the rind, as you peel an orange,
the entire skin pells off, leaving the whole pulp un
broken, which, with care, may be divided into
quarters, just as you divide an orange. They are
ornamental on the table and a first rate melon.”
Mr. Peabody was on tlie eve of departure for the
Industrial Fair at New York, having received the
appointment of Commissioner for Alabama by Gov-.
Collier. In regard to his strawberries, lie says: “af
ter a long and burning drougth my strawberries are
again in bloom and fruit. I shall carry a sample
of them to the Crystal Palace, loaded with fruit,
to convince the northern skeptics that strawberries
at the south do produce fruit for six months in the
year.”—Alabama Planter.
New Cotton.—The bale of new cotton raised
upon the plantation of Capt. U. M. Robert, of Ba
ker county, and purchased by N. W. Collier, of Al-
danv, Ga., on the 27th ult., was received in this ci
ty and sold yesterday by Chas. Hartridge at life.
Wc understand that itwas classed as “ strictly good
middling” in quality. This is the first bale of new
cotton that has been received at any point this sea
son, and as it has promptly found its way to Savan
nah, we hope it ls the fore-runner of thousands more
which will take the same course this season from
“ the garden spot of Georgia.” We think if our
friends in Southwestern Georgia will try the experi
ment, they will find the uniform difference of price in
favor of Savannah, as compared with Apalachicola,
and that it will pay them for sending their crops and
selling in this market.
A sample of the above may be seen at our Read
ing Room.—Savannah Republican.
Corn Crops in Virginia.—Te Richmond Enqui
rer of the 27th, thus speaks of the prospects of the
com crops, etc., in that State:
“ The com problem is pretty well solved. In all
tlie Eastern portion of Virginia there will be a
good crop. A regular succession of copious rains
since the first of the present month has given the
corn fields the most vigorous and promising aspect.
Early planted corn is already beyond the hazard
of dry weather ; and the fine rain of yesterday,
will contribute still more towards a bountiful crop.
We congratulate our farmers on their good fortune.
The most of them reaped an abundant wheat har
vest, which is followed by a prolific corn crop.—
There is much cause to be thankful—particularly as
their labor is rewarded at present by remunerating
prices.
The abundant rains, and the great and unpre
cedented improvements in the corn crops of our
county, since the early part of July, made it unne
cessary to hold the meeting suggested in our paper
of the 12th uit. There was a number of people in
town on Tuesday, from different parts of the coun
ty, and it was generally agreed that Washington
would at least make enough corn for her support, if
not to spare. We are glad to hear this, and hope
all may turn out better than was anticipated.

According to previous appointment, says the A-

Griffin and its Schools. -
A correspondent of the Christian Index, writing
from Griffin, pays the following merited tribute to
the Institutions and morals of that growing place:
“ The Methodist and Presbyterian Female Col
leges in this place, are excellent Institutions, well
deserving a full share of public confidence and pat
ronage. Having no personal interest whatever in
any of these schools, I may speak with freedom,
both as to their character, and that of this town. 1
doubt whether a more healthy place than this can
be found in the State. Not a death has occurred
among the pupils of the various schools this year—
and I learn but one pupil, connected with the Fe
male Seminaries has ever died. Surely this fact
will have its influence with parents and guardians,
when it is contrasted with the sickness and mortality
that have prevailed in similar Institutions elsewhere
in the State. This community deservedly enjoys a
reputation for morality and sobriesy unsurpassed by
any in this State, or perhaps in the Union. I have
yet to see a citizen of the town staggering in the
streets, and it is a rare occurrence that I hear an
oath, even at a distance. If. therefore, you desire
to have your sons and daughters enjoy the advan
tages of excellent schools, under, pious and gentle
manly instructors, in a moral community, in a heal
thy situation, send them to Griffin.”
The Female College under the auspices of the
Baptist Church, was to have gone into operation, on
the 15th inst. Rev. J. W. Aitaway, president.
Union of Whitaker’s “Southern Magazine”
with “Southern Eclectic.”—We are gratified
to be able to announce the nnion of these two valu
able monthlies, which has been for some time past
matter of negotiation. The work will hereafter be
conducted under the joint editorial direction of D.
K. Whitaker, Esq. and Professor J. H. Fitten.—
Both these gentlemen are eminently qualified by
their talents, education and experience to conduct
such a work with success and reputation. Mr.
Whitaker has long been connected with periodical
Literature of the South. He is a ripe scholar and a
fine writer. His able management of the “South
ern Quarterly Review,” a work which he projected
and conducted with signal ability for some years—
has settled the question of his entire fitness for such
an enterprise.
To those who are acquainted with Professor Fit-
ten—his connection with tho Oglethorpe Universi
ty—the Laurels he won there, and the fine taste he
has invariably exhibited in the conduct of the “Ec
lectic,” it is unnecessary to say a word by way of
recommeding him to popular favor. L
The united work will commence its career on the
1st of September, with a largo subscription list,
and with every prospect of a wide spread and per
manent popularity. It will retain the name of the
“ Southern Eclectic,” embracing selections from
the best journals of Great Britain, and the Conti
nent of Europe, and original contributions from the
pens of gifted Southern writers.
Those who may have received three numbers of
Mr. \\ intaker “Southern Magazine,” published by
Messrs. Johnson <fc Cavis, of Columbia, S. C., will
we are informed, be supplied with tlie entire num
bers of the “Southern Eclectic” for one year in con
sideration of the interruption that occurred in the pro
gress of the former work, so that those subscribers
will receive twelve numbers, for their year’s sub
scription, in addition, to the throe published at
Columbia.—Columbus Times St Sentinel.
Congressional Nomination.—The Conservatives
of the Fourth Congressional District have, in Con
vention at Newnan, nominated James M. Calhouni
Esq., for Congress. The nomination is, we think,
a good one. Mr. C. is well known in the District, is
a man of high character, and infinitely superior, in
tellectually, to his opponent Mr. Dent. If the Con
servative men of the District do not elect him, the
fault is their own. Success is certain if they make
the proper effort.—Aug. Sentinel.
MA S EI E B,
On Tuesday night the 9th of August, by the Hon.
Balaam Peters, Col. Jas. M. Childs, of Jones,
to Alias Nancy AIiddlebrooks of the same county.
DIED,
Suddenly in this city on the 15th inst.. Air. AY .
A. Cook, in the 48th year of his age. Air. C. had
lung resided in this community, where he was great
ly respected, and at the time of his death, was as
sistant in the Post Office.
Died, on the 23tli of July, Aliss Lurany Cath
erine, aged 36 years, 6 months and 20 days. Also
on the fust of August, Aliss Charity Emily, aged
19 vears, 4 months and 29 days, both of them
daughters of Mr. Claiborne and Airs. Sarah Buck
ner of Baldwin county.
Thus lias death entered the peaceful home of a
happy family, and within a few days laid his cold
hand upon two lovely sisters,—carried them away
from the embrace of fond parents,—and laid them
side by side in the silent tomb. This dispensation
is a most afflictive one,—it has left a fearful void in
that happy circle, and bowed the heads of relatives
and friends in the deepest anguish. However pain
ful and melancholy the bereavement, we would not
mourn as those who have no hope. Though nei
ther of these sisters, had made a public profession
of religion, yet they have left behind them the
cheering evidence that they died in the blessed hope
of a glorious immortality. During their sickness,
which in each case, lasted but four days, the Bible
was their constant companion—while their prayers,
like incense, were continually going up to a throne
of Grace. At last, with calm composure, and the
blest assurance that sin was pardoned, they sweetly
fell asleep, as wc believe, iu the arms of Jesus.
A Friend.
At her residence, in Burke county, on tlie 30th
of July, Airs. Henrietta J. Kirkland, wife of B.
L. Kirkland, in tlie 29th year of her age.
If it be right to wee]) when God takes away the
aged and tlie weak—those well stricken in years
and home down by the infirmities of time, may we
not justly pause to drop a tear over the young and
gifted, such as was the subject of this brief notice.
In this the place of her nativity she needs no writ
ten memorial of her worth, all who knew her loved
lier, and her untimely death has thrown a sadness
over the whole community. As a daughter, she
was an example of respect, obedience, and atten
tion ; as a sister, kind, considerate and affectionate ;
as a companion ; kind and indulgent; and, as a
friend, high-minded generous and constant—togeth
er with an an amiable disposition and courteous
manner slie possessed a quick, active mind, and
sound discriminating judgment. Her strict moral
ity—her sterling integrity and her unwavering
truthfulness had given promise of an honorable
and useful career in life ; but an All-wise Provi
dence saw fit to cut lier off in the prime of life.
Though suffering for three weeks, she never mur
mured, but bore it with Christian fortitude and pa
tience. And, when the King of Terrors came to
claim her as bis victim, slie obeyed the summons
with full confidence that she was but leaving the
vain and flitting things of earth to enter upon and
enjoy the realities of a brighter and better world,
and her bereaved husband, mother, and friends
have the consolation to know that their loss lias
been her eternal gain.
Leaves have their time to fall >
And flowers to wither at the north-wind breath,
And stars to set—but all—
Thou hast all seasons for thine own, O ! Death.
Youth and the opening rose
Alay look like things too glorious to decay
■ And smile at thee—but thou art not of those
That wait the ripened bloom to seize their prey.
.Adieu, adieu, thou kind and amiable friend,
May your soul be received by God by whom it
[t’was given,
There to live iu a world which has no end
At the right hand of God, who is in Heaven.
E. L. K.
Died, Alay 23, 1853, at liis residence in Telfair
county, Ga., Mr. Duncan AIcRae, 8cn., aged 69
years, 4 months and 16 days.
Of the history of his early life we have but
little information. He was a native of Rich
mond county, North Carolina. His parents were of
Scotch descent, and both pious. The precious truths
of the Gospel, which with faith and prayer they had
endeavored to instill into his mind, were made in
strumental in his eonvertion, even in his youth.—
AYhile yet he was a young man, inexperienced in
the ways of the world, uncontaminatea by its wick
edness” he removed from the home of his boyhood,
and from the church in which lie had consecrated
himself to the Lord, an<l in company with a few
Friends, and relatives settled in this section of Geor
gia, which being scarcely rescued from the savages,
was in a wild, uncivilized, and uncultivated state.
Here the gold was put into the crucible, aud subject
ed to trial by fire. But we rejoice, to believe that
the trial only proved the genuineness of his profes
sion. The dross was consumed, the gold was puri
fied. In the midst of an ungodly community, des
titute of the privileges of the sanctuary he remain
ed for upwards of forty years witnessing for the
truth of the Gospel. The dignity of his deportment,
the uprightness which characterized all his busi
ness transactions, the courtesy, and hospitality
which lie extended without distinction to all classes,
the amiable disposition which lie ever manifested,
.justly entitled him to the honored name of “peace
maker,” the kindness and sympathy which lie show
ed to tliose who were in distress, in tine, all those
noble traits which marked him for a christain gen
tleman, gained for him great inflence and esteem
■of all who knew him; while his unswevering at
tachment to the truth, the longings, which he often
expressed, after the ordinances of God’s house, the
liberality with which he gave to the cause of Christ,
and the consistency of liis christain character placed
liis piety above the suspicion, even of the most cap
tions.
In January, 1851, tlie first Presbvtei ian church
was organized in Montgomery county, aud all eyes
were turned to liiin as a man eminently qualified to
sustain the office of Ruling Elder. But liis active
service was continued to the church only a short time.
.About a year before his death lie was attacked by
apoplexy, from the shock of which lie never recover-
•ed. One hour before he died, he was suddenly seiz
ed by a severe pain iu the region of the heart. One
paroxysm followed another nntil lie breathed liis
last. The battle is over, and the old soldier sleeps
a t last.
How comforting, and encouraging the promise of
the Lord to tlie Christian, expressed in these beauti
ful lines,
“E’en down to old age all my servants shall prove
My sovereign eternal, unchangeable love,
And when hoary hairs shall their temple adorn,
Like lambs they shall still in my bosom be home.”
