A Statement.
„ rn J ie p COntinued attacks of a portion of the Demo-
, C 1 . rC ! Snpon tlie un dPrsigned, renders,perhaps,
. " °"‘ n ^ statement necessary in sclf-vindica-
tion.
At t.io close of the Commencement Exerci
ses of the Wesleyan Female College, I wrote a has
ty letter from Macon, in which, after expressing my
gratification with the performances of the pupil's
generally, I used the following language in regard
to the closing address:
“The Annual Commencement exercises of the
^ estcyrn, x cmale College, in this city, have just
closed with a very able, eloquent, and in the main
j£n P address ’ froni th e Hon. H. v!
Johnson. L.s delivery occupied about an hour and
^‘ 1 pp lt '; r ’.. and . Wf f listened to with marked and
gratified attention, by one of the largest and most
bulliam auditories ever assembled in Georgia on a
similar occasion. With the exception of fts Swe*
denborgeomsm, with which it was rather freelv
intempersed.it was one of the very best orations
of tue kind, w e ever listened to.”
Before leaving Macon that evening and on my
way to Atlanta, the oration of Judge Johnson was
t.ie topic of frequent conversation among the pas
sengers ; and its Swedenborgian views referred to
in terms of regret and surprise. Fearing that in
mv first letter I had too unqualifiedly approved the
Address, whilst waiting for the train at Kingston,
I hurriedly penned tlie following :
c.mly diffused through his oration, the fascinating,
but as I believe, fatal dogmas of Swedenborg.—
Judge Johnson has a right to entertain whatever
opinions, to him, may seem most correct and proper
upon questions ol tins, [kind] as well as politics;
but 1 must doubt, very capitally, w! -tlier the occa
sion referred to was altogether appropriate to the
propagation of views among the young, which are
held to be anti-scriptural by a majority of those who
me beiievers in the truths ut revealed religion, and
w. o have investigated the doctrines of Sweden
borg.”
The last number of the Marietta Advocate vainly
endeavors to show that the foregoing was an un
founded assault upon Judge Johnson, and that it is
in conflict with the Report of the Board of Visitors,
of which I was one, the commendations of the
Southern Christian Advocate, and the Resolutions
of tnc Board of Trustees. In reply to this, I have
merely to observe, that I never read the report of
the Board of Visitors after the address was de
livered, until I saw it in the papers. The re
port of the commencement exercises up to Thurs
day morning I read, and authorized one of the
committee to append my name to it. The para
graph added after the close of the exercises, howev
er, does not at all invalidate my statement, and has
my concurrence. It says “ many of its truths” (not
all) are worthy of study. I intimated as much in
my notice. The editor of the Christian Advocate
was not present, but the worthy gentleman who
doubtless wrote the notice alluded to for that paper,
without knowing that Mr. Johnson was a Swcden-
borgian, directed my attention to certain portions of
the address as containing Swedenborgianism, and
noted down some of the speaker’s remarks. Whilst
the Board of Trustees compliment the Address, ev
ery member of that Board with whom I have con
versed, including some of the most distinguished
divines in the State, confirm my statement, and
share my impressions about tlie address. But what
does the M icon Citizen say on the subject, and why
has that paper escaped denunciation ? Hear it:
“ Of the Address of Mr. Johnson, we have room
for only brief comment. With much of the senti
ments advanced we fully concurred, particularly
with liis views of education and his strictures on
Novel-Reading. But when lie proceeded to draw
metaphysical distinctions between common and
spiritual marriages, and define wliat lie considered
the only true marriage, we got into a fog at once.—
For aught we could discover, such a marriage as
he considered the proper one, might as well exist
between persons of the same sexual organization as
of different, as it consisted in a proper blending of
the different dispositions of the parties—the rough
er attribute of man’s soul with tlie milder graces of
woman’s. As some men are rather feminine in
character and some are rather masculine, this blend
ing might therefore take place without a difference
of organization. But would this be a marriage ?
We think not.”
The foregoing, were no other testimony at hand,
confirms entirely the justice of my strictures, and
the accuracy of my statements.
But I have an abundance of other testimony and
have challenged its inspection. But it better suits
the political purposes of my traducers to indulge
in discourteous detractions and false assertions and
imputations, than to ascertain the real truth, and
then deal justly.
The Marietta Advocate says—“ there is not a word
of truth in the charge that Judge Johnson is a Swc-
denborgiau.” All I have to say in reply is, that if
he is not a Swedenborgian he must have very re
cently changed. He was notoriously one a few
weeks ago, as is well known in this community,
and which we presume the Judge will not deny.
In conclusion I have only to remark, that I am
not conscious of having transcended, in my notice
of Mr. Johnson’s address, the bounds of legitimate
and respectful criticism. I could not pass by Ins
performance in silence, without incurring the suspi
cion that it was produced by political or personal
prejudice. Whilst I approved and admired much
of the address, I could not subscribe to portions of
it—and for this partial dissent, my motives have
been impugned, and my feelings misrepresented
and outraged by the most unprincipled and reck
less assaults. But I leave a just and enlightened
public opinion to decide between me and those who
have so wantonly assailed me. If the editor of the.
Marietta Advocate and his coadjutors in this work of
detraction, are satisfied with their course, I certainly
ought to be with my position. If those prints who
have placed me in a false attitude before tlie public,
will publish this vindication, they will do me a fa
vor I miriit demand it as a simple act of justice.
° j, KNOWLES.
Charles J. Jeakins.
Georgia has been called “ the Empire State of the
South.” What but her great State Railroad, break
ing through the mountain barriers in Cherokee has
made Georgia what she is, and arrested tlie tide of
emigration west ? Who was the great leader in tlie
Legislature of 1833, when the bill after much oppo
sition and debate was passed—providing for the
survey, Ac. ? Charles J- Jenkins of Richmond.
Whose voice has ever been raised eloquently in
the halls of legislation since, without faltering or dod
ging, but in high, manly and statesman-like strains
to sustain and carry that road to the Tennessee
river, as originnally designed ? Cnarles J. Jenkins.
Who, when the demagogues of tlie day, and oth
ers from bad and short sighted views, were striving
to degrade Georgia, by abandoning the prosecution
of that magnificent work, or selling it for a song to
Carolina, was foremost in opposing and counteract
ing these men and their bad and mad projects ?
Charles J. Jenkins. •
To'-Charles J. Jenkins’ eloquence, statesmanship,
firmness, and unyielding integrity of purpose and
action, is Georgia more indebted for her material
prosperity, than to any man whatsoever, whether
living or dead.
When Charles J. Jenkins was thus nobly labor
ing to give Georgia, through her well-devised sys
tem- of internal improvements, lier present proud
attitude, where was Judge Johnson ? AY as not his
position then hostile to the true interests of the
State ? Arc the people willing to entrust him with
the management of those interests now ?
We will not suppose the Cherokee couutry can
forget the benefactor to whom she owes her power
and prosperity. Let Oct ober determine.
The Sixth Blstriet.
Col. Morton writes us from this district quite en
couragingly, both as regards the prospects of Mr.
Jenkins and liis own success. We hope our friends
in that populous region will be active. We observe
that Col. Holsev, our old confrere of the Banner, is
also out for Congress. In announcing the fact the
editor of the Athens Herald, says: “Col. Holsey
will no doubt “define liis position” in due time.—
As our readers know, he has for years past been a
zealous Democrat, and subsequently as a Union
man displayed greater consistency of conduct and
firmness of purpose than the majority of his wing
of the partv can lay claim to. We understand
(but do not make the announcement “ by authori
ty”) that be will support the Hon. Charles .!. Jen
kins in the pending Gubernatorial contest.
Judge Johnson a Secessionist l
It would doubtless be very agreeable to our Se
cession friends at this time, if they could banish
from the public mind all recollection of their past
delinquencies, associations and designs. Aware of
the deep and abiding attachment of the great mass>
of the American people to the Union—smarting
and wnthingunder repeated rebukes and defeats,
** ls n ^ t at all strange that they should desire to
forget themselves and cause the people to forget
the source of all their mortifying disappointments.
‘ hey seem to have overlooked the fate of the Hart
ford Conventionists, and to have forgotten, that the
oare suspicion of the fealty of those men to the con
stitution and the Union, has fixed upon their memo-
rv a stain and stigma which the lapse of nearly half
a century has failed to remove, and which has ef
fectually debarred them from high official stations
and public trusts. It is true the fatal virus of
disunion and sedition has steadily diffused itself
through the body politic from that time to the pre.
sent, occasionally threatening the entire destruction
of our political system, and tlie extinction of civil
liberty; but thus far, thanks to the interpositions
oi a good Providence and the patriotic efforts of
the wise and virtuous, the Republic has been pre"
served—successive storms have passed over it, shak
ing its very foundations—causing the stoutest hearts
to quake, but leaving it stiii, the love and pride
of ever}- true American and the hope and admira
tion of a world, struggling for rational freedom.
The history of the last bold and fearful assault
upon the integrity of the Union is still fresh in the
public memory. The authors of this last and
most desperate plot of all against Constitutional
Government, are well known to the peo.ple and
their ulterior designs well understood. The South
ern Address—the first and second editions of the
Nashville Convention—the recommendation for a
Southern Congress, and establishment of a South
ern Confederacy—the appointment of mass meet
ings at which the Government of our fathers was
denounced and derided as an unmitigated curse, to
be resisted and destroyed without delay and without
compunction—the denunciations of .he disunion
press, and its clamors for resistance; all these
events, and others of a kindred character, are of
too recent occurrence, to be so soon overlooked by
tlie people, or forg'otten.
That many patriotic and good men were mislead,
by the artifices and declarations of the disunion
leaders, we do not doubt. But what are we to
think of those leaders themselves ? What are vve
to expect from Messrs. Rhett, Colquitt, Johnson,
Quitman and others, of like political faith, if once
placed in power ? Has anything occurred to change
their feelings or principles ? Is not the same Con
stitution and compromise now in force that they
so fiercely warred against in 1850-51 ? It is true
tlie principles of some of these precious patriots
have probably been recently somewhat modified
and their feelings mollified by Government smiles
and patronage ? But how long is favor and co-op
eration thus secured to last ? Will it outlive the
division and enjoyment of the spoils of office?
Now, we have not charged that Judge Johnson
is at this moment a disumonist, per se. We do not
suppose that even Mr. Rhett is for present resis
tance. But does any body doubt that he and Air.
Johnson are both secessionists in principle ?—
Have they ever retracted one word or expressed
one regret at their infatuated and revolutionary
course during the late fearful crisis ?
These political confederates and associates were
for resistance in 1850, and nothing but the indig
nant interposition of an outraged public sentiment
prevented them and their infatuated coadjutors
from plunging tlie country into anarchy and blood.
People of Georgia, will you make them now the
guardians of your political birthright ? Heaven
forbid itPublic tranquility and safety forbid it!
Shall they have it?
During the exciting Gubernatorial campaign of
1851, the eyes of the whole Republic were directed
to Georgia. Although the results of the canvass of
1850 gave unmistakable evidence of the loyalty of
a large majority of the people! to the Constitution
and the Union, still the disunion leaders hoped by
changing their mode of attack, to accomplish covert
ly what they found it impracticable to do openly.
Without renouncing one principle, or retracting one
sentiment, they entered the arena of conflict under
new disguises and professions, intended to deceive
the people. Hcnco it will bo remembered that
South Carolina deeply sympathised with McDonald,
in that struggle, and ardently desired his success,
whilst Cobb was denounced in the most abusive
and unmeasured terms. That chivalrous, but infat
uated State fondly hoped that in the triumph of the
former, she would find that prompt and hearty co
operation which was to be alike the signal of her
withdrawal from the Union and the destruction of
the Federal Government. Are we mistaken ? Ex
amine—review the political records of 1850-51.
Fortunately, their hopes were once more doomed
to perish, and the Republic lived on, prospered and
rejoiced.
But still the spirit of disunion remained; not
probably to so large an extent, for the morbid pa
tient, brought under the soothing opiates of Govern
ment patronage, for the time being, became more
tractable and docile. As Government pap, howev
er liberally bestowed, is inadequate to the exigen
cies of all, the fires of discontent, which it appears,
were but partially smothered, are breaking out
afresh, and only waiting a fit opportunity to accom
plish their original purpose, to wit: the destruction
of flic Union.
That these are not random assertions, made for,
political effect, wc beg the reader to peruse the fol
lowing regular toasts given at a 4th of July celebra
tion for 1853, at Colleton, South Carolina.
“ A Sought rn Confederacy, immediately, if not
sooner.”
“The Southern States: May they CO-OPE
RATE in seceding."
And yet we are toid all is acquiescence now, and
every body loves “ the glorious Union,” and all are
ready to do it homage.
“ May they co-operate /” Fellow-citizens, what
does that mean ? South Carolina sought the co-op
eration of Georgia in 1 -50. She was then comfort
ed if not aided by Colquitt, McDonald, Johnson,
and others. She hoped then to get co-operation in
the election of McDonald. And now is there not
good ground for believing that she hangs her last
hope of success upon the election of Judge John
son ? Will not his triumph over Mr. Jenkins, the
great champion of Union principles, be a triumph
over the Union itself l Does not the very perpetui-
tv of tlie Government depend upon the defeat of
Johnson, as it did upon tlie defeat of McDonald?
Union men, patriots, ponder seriously these things.
South Carolina again seeks the co-operation of
Georgia in the destruction of this Union: Shall she
have it in the election of Johnson?
“Gen. A. K. Patton took occasion, at the public
gathering on Tuesday, to announce his withdrawal
as a contestant for Congressional honors in this
District. He yields bis claims in favor of Col. Tum-
lin, and pledged biinself to do battle during the
campaign for the conservative party and its stand
ard bearers.”
We find the foregoing in the Rome Courier of the
18th. We trust the conservative men of Chero
kee will now stand compactly together and fight
valiantly for Jenkins and Tumlin. Let every man
do his duty and overwhelming victory will be ours.
Declined.
The last American Union contains a letter from
the. Hon. J. J. From, declining the candidacy for
Judgeship in the Flint Circuit, on account of pri
vate engagements. The name of Andrew R.
Moore, Esq., has been suggested in his place, and
it is hoped one so worthy and well qualified may be
selected to fill that office.
Daily American Times.
This is the title of one of the handsomest Dailies
that comes to our table. It is published in Balti
more, and edited with taste and ability by our old
friend C. G. Baylor, Esq., formerly of the Cotton
riant. It is independent iu politics, and will be
devoted mainly to tlie promotion of Trade and Com
merce and General Intelligence. We wish it suc-
Hr, Pierce and bis Policy.
The friends of good government, upon General
Pierce’s accession to the Presidency, fondly hoped
from the sentiments promulged in his inaugural,
that, like liis worthy predecessor, he would render
himself and his administration truly national, and
thus secure the affiliation, support and confidence
of conservative men throughout the country.. The
National Union men everywhere read his inaugu
ral with feelings of pleasure, and were ready to con
gratulate the Republic upon the continuance of that
era of good feeling and good government so auspi
ciously and successfully begun by Sir. Fillmore.
But their hopes, alas, have been doomed to bit er
disappointment. Regardless, alike of his solemn
pledges and the just expectations of conservative
men of all parties, he has yielded himself up to the
control of sectionalists and ultraists, and thus again
imperiled the rights of the South, the finality of the
Compromise, and the peace and harmony of the
country. That we are not mistaken in our views
and apprehensions, we refer the candid reader to
the able article in or.r paper this week, which is tak
en from the New-York Journal of Commerce, an in
fluential and reliable paper, edited by a Democrat.
The Herald, another Pierce paper, has expressed
similar sentiments and feelings. In publishing tlie
article above alluded to, the editor of the Journal of
Commerce says:
“In electing General Pierce to the Presidency, it
was supposed that prominence and influence lmd
been given to the national sentiment which had si.
conspicuously triumphed over sectionalism. The
country did not understand, in ePeting Gen. Pierce,
that the Union of factiouists, held together by tlie
spoils, would constitute the government, and that
those who had been conspicuous iu giving a con
trolling direction to public affairs at a great junc
ture, should occupy only a subordinate part in its
machinery. In our judgment, Gen. Pierce has gone
counter to the public intention, and has committed
a capital error. Wc express this opinion with
deep sorrow. We have no personal disappoint
ment of any description to avenge. He has been
liberal with sentiments favorable to the national
idea, and has bestowed poixer and command on its
antagonists; thus holding out an inducement for
treachery and desertion of the Constitution, and
holding out to the leaders of those who, feeling that
they had committed a great error, were ready to re
turn to their allegiance to the country by assenting
to the supremacy of the class who throughout the
contest had shown their patriotism and their ability
to govern. The appointment of Mr. Sickles, re
cently made, intended as an exception to the gener
al policy, is one of those mistakes, which under a
sudden conviction of error, is often committed. The
national feeling of the country, sickened at the dis
play of mere sentiment in its favor, has arrived at
the solemn judgment, that the President has come
short of the duties which a great position imposed,
and of the high distinction which its performance
would unquestionably have conferred.”
Abolition Appointments.
The National Democrat, published in New Y'ork
city, and conducted with more than ordinary candor
and ability, in reply to a recent article of ours rela
tive to the abolition appointments of Gen. Pierce,
makes the following important admissions:
“We have certainly stated with sufficient plain
ness our impressions on this subject. We have re
peatedly said that there are those who have received
office in this State in whom vve have not a particle
of confidence—though we will freely confess that
we had confidence, at one time, that they had made
up their minds to abandon freesoilism, and stand
up manfully to the principles and pledges of the na
tional party. And the President believed so too, or
we are sure he would never have appointed a man
of them to any office whatever. None spent their
money for bis election more freely than tiiese men
did. None worked more zealously, or with a great
er seemiug of love of the party, than they did. And
after they had performed all this, they came to the
Executive with the fullest assurances that they
were resolved, lor the future, to adhere firmly to tiie
very letter and spirit of his platform. They pro
fessed that they heartily endorsed the strong anti-
freesoil doctrines of his inaugural address.
We respectfully ask the editor of the Recorder
what he would have done under these circumstan
ces ? Were he the President, would he have refused
to acknowledge such men as Democrats ? And if he
would, could he find ten Democrats in Georgia to
approve his course ? To denounce the Administra
tion for allowing those who had so worked and so
professed, a share of the spoils, is simply to hold the
President responsible for the hypocrisy of men
whom he had previously received back into the par
ty, and with whom wo bad worked on terms of
Democratic equality to elevate General Pierce to
office.”
Here it is candidly admitted that men have been
appointed to office, entirely unworthy of the confi
dence of National Democrats—(wc do not recognize
the "Secessionists of the South and freesoilers of the
North as Democrats at all.) But our Now York
contemporary pcalliates the conduct of the Presi
dent by assuming that lie had been deceived. This
lie might have expected. Was not the whole histo
ry of the freesoilers well calculated to cause him to
distrust their professions, and if lie could not at once
conciliate their support without so soon rewarding
tlieir treachery, he should have fought rather than
fed them. Tins would have attracted to his support
the truly national men of all parties everywhere.
This is what vve would have done. And it must
come to this at last. If Gen. Pierce does not shake
himself loose from the pernicious influences which
now seem to control and infatuate him, his Adminis
tration must inevitably meet the righteous condem
nation of the American people. “ What would vve
have done ?” We would have kept in office, and pro
moted to office those, and those only, who were
known to be in heart, as well as profession, national
compromise men. In short, vve would have been
the President of the people and not the tool of
wan ing factions.
Lively Times Ahead.
It appears by the following, which vve copy from
the Dahlonega Signal, that the mountain boys are
likely to have quite lively times for the next few
weeks:
“ The Hon. Win. Morton visited onr village on
Wednesday evening last. He authorised us to
give notice to the voters of this section of the Sixth
District that he would again visit us on the 213th
and 30th instant, anncAand equipped as becomes
a candidate for Congre*
We assure our readers that the days assigned for
general muster will be made additionally interest
ing by mingling politics with the military. The
Hon. Junius Hillyer, Major Stanford, and General
Wofford are all expected to be here. A regular po
litical stampede may be looked for.”
Death of Stewart Floyd.
We regret to see the announcement in the Last
Family Visitor, of the death of the Hon. Stewart
Flotd of Morgan. He died at liis residence in
Madison, on the 14t’n inst., of cancerous affection
of the throat, from which he had suffered long but
patiently, surrounded by his friends, and comforted
and sustained by the consolations of religion. He
had filled many honorable and responsible offices;
was one of the most useful and influential members
of the last General Assembly, and was highly re
spected in the walks of public and private life. He
was, at the time of Ids decease, in the 51st year
of liis age.

“Reports are still crowding in upon us from eve
ry quarter. The prospect is brightening: and if it
continues in tlie same ratio until the election,
Johnson will be defeated by an overwhelming ma
jority. The result will be astounding to him and
liis friends. A gentleman now in the upper part of
the State, and who has the finest opportunity for
knowing public sentiment, positively declares that
Jenkins is gaining strength daily ; that the Union
clement will he liis political salvation: that men
once bitterly opposed to him, are wielding tlieir in
fluence in lias favor. It is well known that Chero
kee Georgia is the turning point, and that if an in
creased vote, (not a majority) can be obtained, that
Jenkins’ election will be sure. Unless many are
deceived, it may be set down as a fixed fact, that
Charles J. Jenkins will occupy the Executive Man
sion at Milledgeville. We have no doubt but that
Calhoun will be elected bv a large majority in his
district; this will not only aid Jenkins, Irut elect /. >«.
The masses are wedded to the Union ; they look
with distrust upon every measure or act which
squint at a rupture of tlie harmony of the States.”
Yews from Abroad.
Under the above caption the Griffin Jrffiersonian
in copying a letter from one of our correspondents,
intimates that letters of like character, published
in the Union papers are written at home. We have
only to say that so far as the Recorder Ls concerned,
if tlie editor of the Jeffersonian will call at our office
he shall have abundant evidence of the utter falsity of
his unjust and discourteous imputation.
Disgraceful aad Maligna»«.
The attacks of a portion of the opposition press
upon Mr. Jenkins are as libellous as ridiculous. One
of the most shameless that has yet met our eye is the
following, which first appeared in the Albany Pat
riot, but did not attract our attention until republish
ed in the Augusta Constitutionalist and Republic:
“Again, that the public mind is thoroughly im
pressed that Mr. Toombs, to get Jenkins out of his
way for U. 8. Senator during the last Legislature,
promised that Jenkins should be Governor—and
probably the bargain was much larger—that Berri
en, his kinsman, should be returned to the United
States Senate, and Bartow, Berrien’s son-in-law,
should be sent to Congress—pretty considerable
family arrangement this. The people are determin
ed not to have tlieir rights bartered away. This
corruption w ill be frowned down by them.
Is it cqme to this, that Mr. Jenkins can be a Un
ion man one year, a whig next, then a Webster ami
Jenkins man, then a Republican, then a Conserv a
tive, and then a Union man—and yet receive a ma
jority of the votes of the people of Georgia! Never.
He a Republican, and yet seeking to deprive a large
portion of the people of the State from voting—be
cause they are poor! How shameful.,’
Now what will the reader think and say when as-
siued that the editor of the Albany Patriot, the paper
from which the above extracts are taken, was him
self a member of the same legislature that enacted
the Algerine law, and acquiesced in its passage ?—
But what will the people of Georgia think of tlie can
dor of the Constitutionalist, when told that the edit
or of that paper not only favored the law but upheld
Mr. Jenkins in his participation in its passage As
to the insinuation about a bargain between Messrs.
Toombs, Jenkins, Berrien, &c., it is too ridiculous
and contemptible for a moment’s attention. We
know, and others better acquainted with him than
ourselves know that it was vv ich the greatest difficul
ty Mr. Jenkins could be persuaded to let his name
go before the nominating convention, as a candidate
for Governor. People of Georgia, will you leave
such slanders against some of your most distin
guished and patriotic sons to go unrebuked ?
The new Guardians.—The Federal Union and
other presses oflike political princples have kndly
assumed the Guardianship of Whigs who v> ore in
favor of Gen. Scott for the Presidency, and are en-
devoring, with a very awkward kind of humbug, to
wheedle them into the support of tlieir candidate
for Governor. In tlie course of our connection
with the press vve do not remember a trick so pal
pable, of an effort unredeemed by any single fea-
true which can, for a moment, mislead the judg
ments or impose on the common sense of tlie inten
ded victims.
And has it come to tills, that any respectable por
tion of the great Whig part}' of Georgia, whether
friends of Gen. Scott or not, have sank so low in their
own estimation as to be taken by the nose and driv
en from the support of their principles and their
men at the command or persuasion of the organ of
the disunion candidate ? No. The past course of
the Federal Union is well remembered by every
Whig of every kind that has sense enough to lead a
goose to drink, and the soft corn with which that
paperis now so intent upon choking them will hard
ly be swallowed. It is at best a poor attempt. And
is as much as saying to tlie noblest sons of our no
ble state, you are a set of leatherlieads, and being
asses will come to the rack when you arc comman
ded.
But it is positively rich juist to think cf the guar
dianship of the Federal Union, and its political asso
ciates of the press, as now so patronizingly offered
to a portion of the Whigs. Justhinkof the bare
faced insolence and insulting audacity of the low
little dirty effort. And then think of its origin, and
its aim. If there is an inmate of Lunatic Asylum
who could be bamboozled by such a small beer im
position, we shall believe that there is indeed one
idiot there upon whose mind no ray of intelligence
ever falls. What think you of it friends of Scott ?
Are you not likely to have a guardian of your
choice ? Dont all speak.—Columbus Enq.
We do not marvel that our Columbus c.ontempo"
rary, who fought so gallantly for Scott in the late
campaign, should feel that he has a right to know
something about tlie mind and wishes of- Scott
Whigs. This appellation, by-the-way, now belongs,
vve believe exclusively to the Re-united, and is prin
cipally used by them. It is a distinction no longer
known or recognized among the supportars of Mr.
Jenkins in this section. The idea, however, that
Whigs of any sort, will give themselves up to the
direction and dictation of a few locofoco presses, is
“ simply ridiculous.' The truth Ls, ice know that Jen
kins was the first choiee of a majority of the Scott
men, as he was the favorite, indeed, of all parties,
except the secession democrats i and we do not feel
under any very special obligations to consult their
feelings.
Good Sews,
We are assured by a gentleman who has recently
travelled extensively through this District, says the
Athens Herald, that Mr. Jenkins’ prospects for
carrying it at the election are of the most flattering
character. All our advices lead us to the conclu
sion that if he should fail to get a majority, lie will
at least receive a very large vote in this District.—
The fact is, neither the people nor Jenkins or John
son having changed, we cannot perceive how Mr.
Johnson’s friends can expect to do much in tlie sixth.
Teachcrks Convention,
The proceedings of this important body which
recently convened at Atlanta, will be found in our
columns to-day. It will be seen that it is recom
mended to hold a similar Convention at this place
in November next. This is well, and vve hope all
those who are engaged in this highly useful and
honorable profession, and upon whom so largely
devolves the responsibility of devising and perfect
ing enlightened and judicious systems of mental il
lumination and culture, will cordially co-operate in
this <ruod work.

Rome Ga., August 19,1853.
Dear Sir :—‘Little Alick’ addressed the citizens of
this county on Tuesday last. And such a crowd as
was collected in Col. Berrien’s ware-house I have
never seen in Rome. Ancl if you have seen the
Southerner of the ISth inst., you may judge of the
effects of the speech by the fluttering of the pigeons
round about.
But I did not intend writing a communication fur
the Recorder, but merely to say that the two candid
ates for the Gubernatorial chair addressed ns tlie
next day, and you may write down 100 votes less
for Johnson at this precinct, than if he had not
come. Jenkins served him badly I assure you.—
The prospect for our candidate is bright, and still
brightning. Y'our friend, Ac.
ARRIVAL OP THE AMERICA.
Baltimore, Aug. 16.
The America arrived at Halifax on Tuesday.—
The sales of the week were 44,000 bales. Fair Or
leans 61; Middling G. Fair Uplands 6 |: Mid
dling 5 J. The demand was moderate. Fair and
Middling qualities declined 1 j. Speculators took
4000and Exporters 7000 bales. Counsuls 97 j.—
The Turkish questons undecided, and the doubts
were increasing. The Arabia arrived out on Sat
urday.
Baltimore, August 16, 9 25 P. M.—The East
ern question is nearly decided one way or the other.
It is generally believed it is less favorable to peace.
The Czars final answer cannot be known until the
12th. If he accepts, the troops umst he withdrawn
from the principalities. The Conferences at Vien
na will draw up a treaty forthe protection of Turkey
for all time to come. If the Czar refuses the ulti
matum or evades a reply, the fleets will pass the
Dardanells, and active operations for the mainten
ance of Turkey commenced. The conduct of the
Russian Generals in the Principalities indicates an
intention to maintain possession of them. Russia
shows no signs of retraction. It is stated that Aus
tria will demand reparation from the United States
forthe Kosta affair, and that Turkey shall immedi
ately procure liis extradition. It is said, that the
Czar luid advised Austria to give the United States j
no pretence for interfiling with the affairs of Eu-!
rope.
Contempt—A "Thorough Contempt.’—As an
evidence that Judge Johnson and the Southern
Rights presses which support him, still entertain a
thorough contempt for the “ Georgia Platform, vve
notice the fact, in all their discussions through the
press and at the hustings, they never sav one word
about the “Georgia Platform,” while they sing hosan
nas continually to the “ Baltimore Platform.” It is
not strange that in our State elections they eulo
gize the “ Baltimore Platform,” reared by a political
party for a Presidential campaign, and never utter a
word of commendation of the “Georgia Platform,
nor even think it worth the compliment of a con
strained “ bow” as they pass along.
Think of this, Georgians—you who erected your
own platform—and ask yourselves if such conduct
is not passing strange. If these aspirants for office
have “acquiesced” in your decision, why do they
treat yonr platform with such “ thorough contempt?”
It was a fact noticed here, that iu all his fulsome .ad
ulation of Pierce and tlie Baltimore Platform, Col.
Seward never uttered one word in favor of the
Georgia Platform, but on the contrary, was unspar
ing i’i his censure of Mr. Jenkins, who stands upon
and is the representative of it. This fact is pregnant
with meaning and proves to our minds conclusively,
that Judge Johnson, and Col. Seward, and the
Georgian, ct id omne genus, still cherish a thorough
contempt for the “ Georgia Platform” and the peo
ple who erected it, and in the language of the Sa
ra north Georgian regard the action of the Georgia
convention of 1850 as “ a disgrace, a discredit and a
ridiculous farce.” Think of this, people of Georgia
—that while these aspirants for offices and for hon
ors, arc cringing and bowing around you, and teas
ing and begging you for your votes, they boast of
their party platform at Baltimore, and land Pierce,
but never say one word in commendation of your
patriotism or your platform. Remember what the
Good Book says: “He that is not fir us. is against
us,” and “ by their fruits ye shall know them.” It
they are really grafted on the true vine of t he “Geor
gia Platform,” they would speak of it favorably
sometimes. Men cannot “gather grapes of thorns,
nor figs of thistles,” and the Baltimore Platform
will do Georgia no good, if your own platform if
thrust aside and trampled in the dust.—Savannah

on them.—Athens Banner.
