The simple history of the whole affair is this:—
General (then Colonel) Nelson, being a patriotic
soldier, raised a brigade of mounted volunteers from
the Cherokee region, and hastened to join General
Jesup, in Florida.
Judge McDonald, then a State Senator, (1837)
offered a resolution directing the Governor to pay
thirty thousand dollars out of the Contingent fund
at his control, to assist them to Florida.
1 ne resolution was opposed by those good and
true Democrats, Judge Walter T. Colquitt, (more
recently known as tlie Colonel of the Coffin RtM-
m™*) and Hon. Edward J. Black, and Major Gen-
cial Hugh A. Haralson, on the ground, solely, that
the Legislature could not appropriate money by
Resolution for this, or any other purpose; but that,
under our State Constitution, it must be done by
law regularly passed after being read on three sev-
eial days in each branch of the Legislature.
The resolution passed the Senate and the House,
w here Col. Henry G. Lamar, another distinguished
Democrat, opposed it on tlie same ground that it
was opposed in the Senate. Governor George E.
Gilmer, another good Polk and Cass and Pierce
Democrat, vetoed the resolution as unconst itutional,
and thus it ended. We give tlie following extract
from the Governor’s Veto Message:
“ I am not satisfied that the Legislature has the
constitutional power to appropriate, by their resolu
tion, thirty thousand dollars for the purposes stated
in them, by directing that the money be paid out of
the contingent fund by the Governor. The Consti
tution provides that no money shall be drawn out
of the Treasury, or from the public funds of the
State, except bj- appropriation made by law. The
object of this provision is, to secure tlie people from
inconsiderate and improper disposition of the public
money, by subjecting each appropriation made by
the Legislature, to the investigation produced by-
reading the bill containing it three times in three
separate days, in each House, as must be done be
fore a law can be passed. A contingent fund is
created during each session of the Legislature for
the Executive Department, because the Legislature
cannot foresee, and therefore cannot provide spe
cially for all the objects requiring an advancement
of money by the Governor from one session of the
Legislature to the succeeding.”
Immediately after this, the late Judge Meriweth
er, himself a soldier who had gallantly served in
Florida, the year before, sought to introduce a bill
to make, according to the requirements of the Con
stitution, an appropriation for Nelson’s Brigade.
And who, gentle reader, do you suppose voted to
refuse him leave ? [See Yeas and Nays of the House
Journal, 1837.] Col. Henry G. Lamar, a recent
prominent candidate for Governor before the Demo
cratic Convention, Col. John B. Lamar, the broth
er-in-law of Goa-. IIowcll Cobb, and who,since 1337,
w as elected to Congress; Stroud of Walton, a good
Democrat, and many others less known to the pub
lic, wMlst Charles J. Jenkins voted for it.
If there is an augur hole into which these Edi
tors can creep after this expose, they had better be
off in search of it and more exploded humbugs.
Truly a cause must be in a desperate avay that has
to be sustained by such miserable trickery, indeed,
at the sacrifice of political and personal friends.

Union Meeting in Baldwin,
In accordance with a previous notice, a respec
table portion of the Union men of Baldwin met at
the Court House for the purpose of nominating
candidates to represent them ia the next Legisla
ture—
On motion of Walter H. Mitchell, Esq., Dr. C.
J. Paine ivas called to the Chair, andR. M. Orme,
Jr., requested to act as Secretary.
The object of the meeting being explained by the
Chair, Walter H. Mitchell moved that a committee
of fh’e be appointed to select suitable candidates.
The Chair appointed W. H. Mitchell, J. Knowles,
L. J. Smith, Win. Rice and Goodw'in Myriek, who
after a short absence announced through their
chairman, Mr. Mitchell, the names of E. D. Brown
for Senate, and Dr. F. T. Grantland for the House
of Representatives. P. M. Compton, Esq., moved
that the sense of the meeting bc taken by ballot,
wMeh question being put, was carried. Upon
counting out the ballots it appeared that E. D.
Broavn and Dr. F. T. Grantland received the
nominations, wMch were made unanimous.
On motion a committee of three, consisting of
J. Knowles, R. H. Ramsay and G. Myriek- were
appointed to notify Mr. Brown and Dr. Grantland
of their nomination and request their acceptance
of the same.
Mr. Knowles then introduced the following reso
lutions, Avliich Avere unanimously adopted :
Resolved, That we, a portion of the citizens of
Baldwin county, do hereby express our most cor
dial approbation and high gratification at the nomi
nation of the lion. Charles J. Jenkins, for fiovem-
or of Georgia : that in his public aud private lhc
in his enlightened statesmanship—in his stern de-
A-otion and adherence to great- conservative princi
ples, and abort all liis deep attachment to, and noble
defence of Constitutional Union and Liberty,
afford to the people of tliis great commonwealth
the most ample guaranty that to his hands may be
safely entrusted the helm of State.
Resolved, That the sentiments embodied in his
letter of acceptance, have our hearty concurrence,
and in the liberal spirit of that patriotic letter, Ave
hereby declare, that Ave are ready to unite Avitb all
men of whatever party in maintaining the princi
ples proclaimed in the Georgia Flatform ; but we
Avill have no political fellowship with any party,
whig or democratic., North or South*, which arrays
itself against, and, wars upon the principles therein
set forth. .
Resolved, That the old questions and issues os
Bank, Tariff, and Internal Improvement, have
ceased to be vital, nor can they again be revived
and restored as tests of political orthodoxy and
party fealty : and we believe “that the maintenance
of the honor and dignity of the position assumed by
Georgia in 1359, and the promotion of the moral,
social, intellectual and material interests oi lier
people to be objects of far greater importance, than
the success of any national party.
Resolved, That we most heartily ratify the nomi
nation of Dr. David A. Reese, as the candidate for
Congress from this District, and pledge our best ef
forts to secure his election in October next.
Resulted, That a committee of two from each, dis
trict be appointed by the chair, to act as a board of
vigilance, and discharge such duties as may conduce
to the success of our cause.
Resulted, That we unanimously confirm the nom
ination of E. D. Brown as candidate for State Sen
ator, and Fleming T. Grantland as candidate for
the House of Representatives, and will use our best
exertions to secure their election.
Resolved, That the proceedings ot this meetin c
be published in the Southern Reorder.
In accordance with the’, fifth resolution the Chair
appointed the folloiving gentlcmeii: A\ m. Rk,
Wiley Godard, L. J. Smith, S. h. AVlutakei, Good
win Myriek, Daniel Tucker, W. F. Nappier, A. I
Butts, Jas. Dickson, Esq., Peter Fair, Josiah Doles,
as a vighanee Committee to act ia their respective
districts.
The meeting Avas addressed at some length by
Mr. Knowles, reviewing the course of Gen. Pierce
and his appointments', and the respective claims
of Mr. Jenkins and Judge Johnson to the suffrages
of the citizens of this State.
On motion the meeting then adjourned.

Seta’s Brigade.
In the last Federal Union is to be found an attack
on Mr. Jenkins for Lis vote on a Resolution appro
priating Thirty Thousand Dollars to defray tlie
expenses of the troops under Gen. Charles H. Nel
son in the year 1837, and a promise to publish the
Avhole proceedings in the next issue. Those avIio
know the Editors of that print know full avcII that
they will not publish a fair and impartial statement
of the facts; fairness and candor not being in unison
Avitb their acts.
The history of the Legislative and Executive ac
tion on the Resolution in question is simply this,
and the Records prove it. On the 18th of August f
1837, the Secretary of AVar made a requisition on
Gov. Schley for troops to serve against the Indians
in Florida, and before the GoA-emor could act in the
matter, the requisition Avas withdrawn, the date Of
the Avithdrawal being 8th of September. Gen. Jes
up in a letter to Gov. Schley, dated 19th of Sept.,
1337, requests that Col. Nelson be invited to raise
a force of 300 mounted Riflemen and 200 Indian
Avarriors, Avhich inA'itation Goa*. Schley refused to
give, for the reason that he Avished the sendees of
Col. Nelson and the troops he might be able to
raise, for the protection of the citizens of Cherokee
against the Cherokee Indians, Avho Avere then pre
paring to remove to the West, as the following quo
tation from his letter to Gen. Jesup proves:
“ I would endea\-or to obtain Col. Nelson Avith a
Regiment for you, if I had not previously determin
ed to employ him in the Cherokee country to ensure
the emigration of that people, and to protect our
OAvn against their excesses.”
From some misunderstanding and contrary to
the expectation of Goal Schley, and the orders of
the Secretary of War, Gen. Nelson raised 22 compa
nies, being about 1500 mounted troops, aud march
ed with them to Florida, stopping a few days near
Milledgeville. A Resolution Avas introduced, ap
propriating .$ 39,000 to pay the expenses of these
troops. After considerable debate in the House
and in fho Senate, and after the original Reso
lution had been amended, the Hon. James A. Meri-
Avether moved that the Resolution and amendments
be laid on the table, so that he might introduce a
BUI appropriating the same amount of money for
the same purpose, stating that it wa3 Ids opinion
that money could not be appropriated by resolution, and
such Avas the opinion of Mr. Jenkins, for v. e find
him A'oting side by side Avitb Mr. Meriwether and
many others, avUo Avere Avilling to appropriate the
money, but preferred doing so by Bill, as the Con
stitution declares that “all Bills for raising revenue
or appropriating money shall originate in the House
of Representatives.” Nothing is said of Resolutions,
and tlie fair construction of this clause of the Con
stitution is that appropriations cannot be made by
Resolution. Such aauis the opinion of Gov. Gilmer
expressed in his message vetoing the Resolution in
question.
Mr. MeriAvether and Mr. Jenkins, with many
other gentlemen of both political parties, much pre
ferred Gen. Nelson and the troops under his com
mand returning to Cherokee, and Avere willing to
appropriate money for that purpose, for the same
reason that Gov. Schley Avished them to remain
there—for the protection of the citizens against the
Cherokee Indians—-and it Avas also Goal Gilmer’s
opinion that they should return. I quote from bis
message to the House, 21st of November, 1837;
“ Indeed there is no doubt that it is highly ne
cessary that every one capable of bearing arms in the
Cherokee, counties should if possible be at home, to keep
down any disposition which the Indians may liaA'O
to do mischief.”
The following gentlemen, as the records of both
Houses show, voted with Mr. Jenkins on tliis ques
tion, against the Resolution as it stood, and in far-or
of the appropriation by Bill, and the return of the
troops to Cherokee: Hon. Edward J. Black, *Hon.
P/alter T. Colquitt, Hon. Hugh A. Harralson, lion.
Henry G. Lamar, Hon. A. H. Stephens, Hon. E. Y.
Hill, Hon. I. L. Harris, Hon. A. J. Lawson, Hon.
William McKinley, Hon. Janies Polk of Madison,
Hon. Joel Branham, Hon. James A. Meriwether, and
the Hon. James L. Seward, and many others, good
and patriotic men, who thought at the time they
were doing the best for the State, and best for the
troops themselves.
Why could not the Federal Union, in a spirit of
candor and fairness, publish tlie facts in this case,
and the names of the gentlemen Avho ruffed against
the Resolution ? The truth is, they wished to de
ceive the people, and make capital for their party,
by forcing the impression that Mr. Jenkins rvas
acainst Cherokee and her citizens. He is and al-
wayshas been the warm friend of the State Road,
an enterprise Avliich has been a blessing to Chero
kee and the whole State. The records of the session
of 1337 prove the indirect charge of tlie Federal
Union to be false—for we find him voting to appro
priate money for the improvement of the road
leading from Etowah river in the county of Forsyth
to Coosawattee in the county of Murray, Messrs.
Meriwether, Branham, Seward, Kelly, McKinley
Price of Gilmer, Ford of Cherokee, and many oth
ers voting with him. AYe also find him voting for a
bill to lay out and construct a road from Notley Old
Town, in Union county, to EUijay in Gilmer coun-
tA', and in company Avith the same gentlemen; and
near the close of the session he introduced a resolu
tion requesting the Governor to furnish arms to vol
unteers raised for the defence of the citizens of
Cherokee. These votes look very much like being
against Cherokee and her people.

Milledgeville, August 24th ’53.
Editors Southern Recorder :—
Gentlemen—AHoav me to relieve myself from
the false position in which you place me before your
readers in your issue of yesterday, in reference to
Mr. Jenkins and -.the Algerine Law. I allude to
the folloAving sentence Avhich I find in an editorial
in the Recorder headed “Disgraceful and Malig.
nant:”
“But what will the people of Georgia think of the
candor of the Constitutionalist, AA'hen told that the
editor of that paper not only favored the law but up
held Mr. Jenkins in his participation in its pas
sage ?”
It is not true, Messrs. Editors, that I favored the
law. The contrary is quite Avell kuoAvn in Augus
ta, and was equally well known as soon as the fact
that such a larv Avas passed reached Augusta, and
became a topic of conversation among the citizens,
I very promptly and emphatically expressed not
only my dissent, but my indignation at the passage
of the law. I had no opportunity of doing it soon
er, for I had never heard that such a laAv had been
contemplated until the news reached Augusta that
it had been passed. 1 had never seen or heard of
the Petition that had been sent to Milledgeville ask
ing for the passage of such a law, and the fact that
the proceeding, on the part of those avIio originated
the Petition, had been a clandestine one, added to
the feeling of indignation Avith Avhieh the intelli
gence was received.
It is not true that I upheld Mr. Jenkins in
his participation in its passage. On no oc
casion did I uphold, or defend, or justify the
law itself, or Mr. Jenkins—so far as relates to
his connection Avith the Ioav. I regretted that he
had voted for it, and still more that he defended tho
laAv afterwards as right aud proper. I never did
believe the law right or just, in principle or detail.
I considered, and still consider, that if a citizen’s
right to vote for Aldermen Avas to bc determined by
the length of his purse, the rule Avould often dis
franchise the best, the most intelligent and useful
'citizens. It so operated in Augusta. If the principle
Avere a correct one, that only tho citizen owning
$1,000 of real estate, or paying $25 per annum in
taxes should be entitled to a A r ote, then be Avho
owned $50,000, of real estate, or paying $1,250 in
taxes, could claim that the principle should accord to
him 50 votes. I have ever been utterly opposed to
special privileges being conferred on men founded
on any suc’i principle, eA'en in municipal govern
ment. I have ever considered the admeasurement
of a man’s intelligence, and capacity for legislation
even in city matters, by the length of his purse a
mode as fallible as it is offensive to republicansim.
These Avere my sentiments in 1842. They are my
sentiments now. When in 1842, Mr. Jenkins Avas
a candidate for re-election to the Legislature, I a-o-
tod for him ; but I did so, not because of bis partici
pation in the Algerine LaAv, but ia despite of it. I
voted for him because that one error did not out
Aveigh, in my estimation, his merits as a man, and
his capacity and usefulness as a citizen, and be
cause I did not think it magnanimous in his con
stituents to sacrifice him for it, regardless of his
past services. My \ r otc Avas moreover influenced
by sentiments of personal friendship, and admira
tion for his character and talents—sentiments which
I still entertain.
If there had been any doubt in my mind of the
repeal of the law, or any apprehension that Mr. Jen.
kins AA'ould have sought to introduce the principle
of it in State polity, he Avould not have received my
A’Ote.
It is because he has never sought or desir
ed this, nor has his party done so, that I, ear.
ly in the canvass, disavowed any intention
of assailing him, editorially, on the Aigerine
LaAv ; at the same time I stated, not perhaps as ful
ly as I have now done, but quite distinctly, my
opinion of the Irav. Had that editorial been before
you, or remembered by you, Gentlemen, tliis com

Ed. of tlie Constitutionalist.
We find in the last Thomasville Watchman, an ex
tract from a letter of Mr. Bartow, to a gentleman
in Thomasville. It needs no further introduction
in order to a proper understanding of it:
“ Savannah, Aug. 12th, 1853.
“ I never had, and baA-e not now, any hostility
to the Brunswick and Florida Rail Road. I would
not injure it if I could. I have never attempted di
rectly or indirectly, to do so. I Avould—as a great
interest, in which I knoAv a large portion of the peo
ple are interested—feel it my duty as a member of
Congress to advance and aid it in any way, and this
duty I am prepared cheerfully to perform, and you
may promulgate this sentiment as publicly as you
please.
“ The man who avould suppose that I would give
a preference to Beaufort, South Carolina, over
Brunswick, in Georgia, as a Naval Depot, does not
kuoAV me. I loa-e my whole State, and avould not
esteem myself a true Georgian, if I did not prefer
her interests to any other. In such a contest as you
mention, Brunswick would find me a laborious and
vigilant champion. If I know myself, I am free
from unworthy prejudices.
“ I am sorry that so many efforts are made to de
feat me on false issues. It is not right, hut I Avill
soon be avith and meet the people face to face, and
leave them to determine.
“ Very truly youra,
“FRANCIS S. BARTOW.”
Where are the Disunionists of 1850.
In looking over an old file of business let
ters, yesterday, ave found one dated Macon,
August 22, 1850, which contained the fol
lowing sentence :
“ One of the most exciting meeting* ever held in
Georgia, has been held at this place to-day, and the
united cry is Disunion, or our rights."
Where are these men noav, avho avere in
1850 shouting “ Disunion, or our rights.”
Are they not all supporting Hersciiex,l
Y. Johnson, James L. Seward, David J.
Bailey, A. H. Colquitt, W. B. W. Dent,
&c., &c., ? And still ave hear nothing
about “ rights” trampled upon now, and no
one aomavs that he thinks “ Disunion” neces
sary. Is there not the same need of resis
tance noav as then ? is the Northern feel
ing more just, or in truth, are there not just
as many Disunionists now in Georgia as
there avere three years ago ? We believe
there are, and are hope there are as many
Union men too—good true Union men, avho,
after they have made a platform upon
which to stand, will come foravard and
stand upon it, and support the builders avho
planned and erected it.—Savannah Re
publican.
A Southern Rights paper published in
this District, in speaking of Col. Dent,
says : “ He is a sensible ! practical!! work
ing man”!!!
That he is a “ working man,” and of the
fast sort, no one avill doubt, after the Her
culean task be has performed in locating
the Andes Mountain in California.

For the Recorder
Progress.—Female Education la Georgia.
In October, 1837, if I mistake uot, “The Geor
gia Female College” commenced its careerin the
great and good -work of Female Education. This
was the first institution of the kind chartered in
this, or perhaps any other State in the Union. By
a A-olimtary vote of its original projectors, it avas
tendered to the Georgia Annual Conference, to be
placed under its supervision and made a denomina
tional College, at its option. The proffer avas ac
ceded to, a new charter obtained, and the institu
tion incorporated under the name and style of “The
Wesleyan Female College.” Although bearing
this patronymic appellation, and denominational in
its character, it has not been, is not noav, and I ven
ture to affirm, never avill be sectarian in its influ
ences and designs. For tlie truth of this, avc ap
peal with confidence to the multitude of pupils who
have embraced religion avhilst under its avliolesome
guardianship aud instruction.
The original design of this institution was to ele
vate the standard of female learning, and it has al
ready given an impulse to this good cause, une
qualed in any State, North or South. Georgia at
this time can boast of at least twelve chartered Fe
male Colleges, all avell sustained. More than 1290
of her daughters are receiving collegiate education.
Of the character of institutions established subse
quent to tlie Wesleyan Female College, it does not
become me to speak, except to express the avish,
that as worthy rivals they may imitate her hereafter
as heretofore.
At the late Commencement, on tlie recommenda
tion of the Faculty, tlie Board created a Professor
ship of Modem Languages, and filled it avith a se
lect man. This gentleman avill teach all, or either
of the following modern languages: French, Ital
ian, or German; and if desired, in connexion avith
his lady, avill also give instruction in painting and
embroidery in tlicir most elegant forms.
The College avill open its fifteenth regular ses
sion on the first Monday in October, avith a faculty
of six gentlemen, besides lady helpers. Every de
partment is well provided for. The first regular
class, upon the enlarged scale of scholarship, avill be
formed at the next term. We need, and ought to
have, one hundred and fifty paying scholars. Tins
College educates four beneficiaries all the time, and
ea’ery thing furnished gratis except clothing. Be
sides these, we educate many others free of tuition
fees.
I mention these facts simply because many per
sons continue to oppose our Colleges as benefiting
tlie rich alone. We only ask for a just estimate of
our doings. And when real justice is done us, it
will be found that tliis single College has done more
in aid of the poor, aud in meeting the real wants of
Georgia, in thirteen years, in the way of aa-ailable
learning, than has been done by the Poor School
Fund since it was set off. Give us a patronage of
only one hundred aud fifty paying pupils, and we
avill do much more in the bestowment of education,
free of tuition fees. —
To the Methodists, as a denomination, I appeal,
because this is their Conference Female College.
To our adherents, on the same ground, I make this
appeal; and to a generous public, I appeal avith
confidence. You are concerned, chiefly, to get a
thorough education. This I can most confidently
promise you. And, as far as our denomination is
concerned, if your daughters should embrace reli
gion avhile at College, ave avill not make them
Methodists avithout 3*our consent. All Editors that
will generously publish this article, shall receive
our effectual gratitude. L. PIERCE, ■
One of the Board. !

Pine Woods, Muscogee County, ?
August 20th, 1853. )
To lhe Editors of the Southern Recorder:
Gentlemen : I shall use but a few words about
the blackguard article of that dirty sheet, tlie Fed
eral Union, in relation to my letter to you, under
date of the 27th ult.
I will therefore say, that, in ea r ery portion of the
Editor's article, avhere he charges, or even insinu
ates that I ever was an applicant to Gen. Pierce,
or any branch of his Administration, for any office,
whatever, it is wholly and totally false, and the Ed
itor knew it to be false avhen he avrote his article.
And in the assertion, that I ea-er asked him to “ ern
dorse my claims as a fit and proper person to court
the faa’orof the President’s ear,” &c.., the Editor is
equally guilty of a palpable falsehood. I never
even thought of malting such a request of him.
It is true that a portion of the Democrats of Co
lumbus at one time feared that a very obnoxious
and unpopular man avould be appointed Post Mas
ter, and they avished to (Ufccit/um. And it is also
true that this same portion, and others, avanted a
very popular man, (one generally acknowledged to
be the most popular man in the county) appointed.
And it is due to this gentleman to stgje, that lie avas
not an applicant himself; and that he avas solicited
for months, bj' leading Democrats, to alloav them
the use of his name, before he avould consent.
I did not sign any paper or “ petition” to haa-e
this popular man appointed, for the reason that I
did not consider myself a “ leading” Democrat.
Yet, after earnest and urgent solicitations, and with
an agreement that all my expenses lucre to be paid by
others, Democrats, aa Iioso feelings and avishes I was
to represent, I reluctantly yielded, and went to
Washington as their representative, and did my
best, in an independent and bold manner, to carry
out tboir wishes in every particular. And it is also
true, that upon my return from Washington, thro’
Miiledgea-ille, upon the presumption that the Edi
tor of the Federal Union aa-as a gentleman, I called
upon him and informed him of the object of tlie
mission that had taken me to Washington; and in
that conversation, I solicited a letter from him, or
asked him to write to the Post Master General, not in
his individual, but in his editorial capacity, upon
party grounds, in favor of this gentleman, avho I and
my “ constituents” wished appointed. But he
seemed to “fear” it might “get out” and “injure”
him, &e., and of course I never said or cared three
ciiinquepins, or ea-en thought any more about his
not writing. The Editor avas not as important a
mail as he supposed, by any means! But the idea
that I ever cared for, or was disappointed or morti
fied on account of Mr. Forsyth’s appointment, avould
indeed be news to every one here. Ea-en had not
Mr. Forsyth known before the appointment avas
made, that in tho ea-ent of his being appointed, and
there avas any complaint or fuss kicked up, that I
avould defend liis appointment; and ea-en had I not
“ congratulated” him, and expressed my gratifica
tion, in the streets, at his appointment, I am too
avell kiioavn here (and I guess I am equally as 'veil
known in Milledgeville) for ea-en the commonest
and who knows me, to harbor the thoughts
of me insinuated by this party scavenger.
So far, then, from being dissatisfied or mortified
at Mr. Forsyth’s appointment, as the veracious (?)
and gentlemanly (?) Editor avould insinuate, tliis
“friend” of mine, (in tchose behalf I was so silly as
to ask this Editor to write to the Post Office De
partment) kiioavs that I avas gratified at Mr. For
syth's appointment, and so was he.
