Ar.iu, as to fusion— where is Mr. Hill's sa-
_-a ity alwjut fusion? The Douglas men cried
to him in vain, with tears in their eves
d bur months ago. If fusion South could
’ t anything in the North, where was Mr. Hill
:at I could not see it in time, and s upon
' first approaches to it as freely offered by
. Douglas men on his own terms? But he
ti ust n-ject it four months ago, to lay hold of it
within a few days of the election, and then
n the modesty of his superior discernment, de
nounce all, as enemies of their country, who
can't understand what great things fusion in
Georgia can accomplish in the North in nine
days. Well it takes nine days, so they say, to
open a kitten's eyes. Mr. Hill took four months
to open his eyes to the efficacy of fusion, and
ought to be willing to allow the Breckinridge
men a twentieth part of the time required bv
himself for the same purpose, without denoun
cing them in advance as the “greatest enemies"
of the people.
For ourself, seeing nothing in the world to
be accomplished by a fusion in Georgia at this
late day, we shall most respectfully decline it,
notwithstanding this edict, and at the peril of
incurring Mr. Hill’s denunciations as an enemy
of the jieople. We recommend them to vote
for Breckenridge, without a fear that they arc
weakening, in the slightest degree, the desper
ate chances of defeating Lincoln, and without a
further tear of endangering the unity of the
people in any movement which Georgia ought
to take for self preservation, if she finds the
Federal Government is to be prostituted into an
1 abolition tyranny.
Let us consolidate that union by a direct con
sideration of our judgment upon the issues in
volved. Let us call a convention of the peo
ple, and then will be the time to waive party
distinctions in the selection of our wisest men to
meet ami adjudge the fearful questions at issue.
JUDGE GRIMKE’S VIEWS.
Judge Frederick Grimke, a native of South
Carolina, but many years since, and now a res
ident in Ohio, writes an admirable letter to the
Cincinnati Gazette, upon the state of our public
affairs. Judge Grimke has written an elabo
rate and able work on the free institutions of
the United States. We give two extracts from
his letter:
The interests of both the white and the black
race absolutely forbid emancipation. The ex
periment in the British West Indies, although
on an exceedingly small scale comparatively, is
a signal failure. The Island of Jamaica, we are
informed by an English writer, is fastreturning
to its original barbarism. “All things which
ate lawful, are not therefore expedient,” is a
principle which the wise statesman, ths Chris
tian statesman, should never lose sight 01. It
was well understood a few years agi, that
Brougham, Russell, Palmerston, and evm the
so i of Wilberforce, deemed the scheme ol eman
cipation a failure. But the pride of opinion,
the consciousness of having borne apart in a
memorable change of the laws, had led t ie first
to return to the views which he had ori jnally
taken up. He who visits the negro settlements |
in Ohio, and the negro villages on Southern
plantations, cannot but be struck with tin con
trust, in the first, everything appears to he in
a state of nature ; sloth, idleness and vice con
stantly meet the eye. in the last, order, thrift i
ami neatness are prevalent. In the United
States, thousands of whites have set out in lif'u)
with an axe or a primer, and have conquered
the wilderness.
*******
“If our institutions are a failure, it is certaid
that no man can mend them, since they depend
upon laws which no man has power to over
i u„. iri ] i t j.,,;,] that if any of thfj
States should secede from the Union, the re-'
maining power of the Confederacy would be in
sufficient to bring them back; ami this will per- I
haps be admitted. But who ever heard ofdra- !
gooning the retiring members of a Federal Un
ion back into the Union? The right to with
draw is inherent in that form of Government.
It exists, and should be universally recognized,
because it is a safeguard against civil war, ami
> snatches from us the temptation to enter into it.
We should say tx them, depart in peace; the i
nature of our connection is happily such as to '
dispense us from using brute force in order to !
bring you back. If you suppose that your con
dition will be better out than in this time-hon
ored Confederacy—the work dtf our joint hands
—so be it; and let our future rivalry only con
sist in efforts within our respective borders, to
improve and strengthen the foundations of civil
and political freedom.”
Maternal Sensibility of an impress*
A foreign paper gives an instance of what it
calls the “maternal sensibility of the British i
Empress.” AVhileat Ajaccio, she remained for
some time alone in her carriage under a trium
phal arch, the Emperor being absent inspecting
some new forts. Some hundreds of the peas
ants who had assembled, formed a circle at a I
distance around the carriage, but her Majesty
made a sign with her hand, and in a moment a
compact mass was close around her. “Do you
come from far ?’’ asked her Majesty, in Italian,
addressing one of them. “Oh, yes, luadame,” re
plied the man, who appeared astonished to hear
the sovereign speaking, and particularly in his
own language. “It is four days journey, but
we have all come, leaving only the women and
the old behind us.”
“Oh, madame,” said another peasant, “Why 1
did you not bring the boy “You love him,
then, do you ?” said the Empress; “you would
like to see him; if so, there he is,” and taking
off a brooch which contained a portrait of the
Prince Imperial, she held it out to them. A
thousand hands were held out to seize it, and it
was kissed by every one with the greatest de
light. This scene was too much for the feelings
of the Empress, who forgot the sovereign in the
mother, and when the Emperor returned she
was lying back in th" cweeping at the i
remembrance ol nei ui».->enl child.
Plan of the Seceueks. —An agent privately
sent from the South reports to the President
that Alabama and Georgia will certainly secede
in forty days alter Lincoln’s election. Confi
dential friends of the President assert that in
that ease he will ramain inactive, and permit the
thing to go on. The Richmond Enquirer to
day exhorts A irgima to go with the South, and
thus present a solid front. It is for disunion
without waiting for an overt act, and says, “if
that be treason, make the most oi it. A. 1.

FRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 26, 1860.
Fort A’alley, Ga., Oct. 24th, 1800.
Editor Georgia Telegraph:— l offer you a
few words expressive of my simple views in
relation to the present momentous contest of
1860. It seems that the golden ties that have
; bound us together as a happy’ and prosperous
. nation, are about being severed, never to be
I united again. Who is responsible for all of
! this? Why it is the serried hosts of sectional
, and sectarian fanatics at the North. AVe at
, the South have submitted again and again to
Northern aggression for the sake of peace and
tranquility’ in the Union, but it seems the cri
) sis has come or is fast approaching, when sub
| mission will fail to be a virtue. In this case
we call upon true men every’ where,North as well
as South, (for we are not forgetful of there being
true patriots at the North who are battling for
the rights of the South every day of their
: to help us roll back this tide of Northern fanat
i ic aggression, and maintain our rights guaran
teed to us by the Constitution. The present
great Presidential campaign of 1860, is a mat
ter about which every patriot should be deeply
concerned. It will determine the perpetuity
or the dissolution of this government. It is to
decide whether Black Republican treason or
our glorious Union, with all its blessings, is to
bo destroyed, and like patriots, let every man
do his duty to his country, himself, and his
children. The preservation of this wide spread
confederacy mainly depends upon the triumph of
the National Democracy in the present contest
to the Presidency. If we are dependent upon
the success of the National Democratic party
for our future welfare and the preservation of
the federal compact, the bond of union, never
was there a time since the formation of this
government, when it was more important for
good citizens to bestir themselver in behalf of
the dissemination of sound sentiments. As for
myself I wish to see the Union perpetuated
when it can be done honorably , but if it can
not be done by honorable means, I am for a
dissolution. I want to see influential men ful
ly determined, and use their whole influence
to preserve the boon handed down to them from
their worthy ancestors. My deliberate and
settled conviction, is the utmost energy and
influence of every patriot is as imperatively
demanded as in the days of the Revolution,
and to remain inactive in the present contest
I would be little short of treason to our country.
Let us make one more united effort to elect a
! Democratic President as we did in 1856, and
the victory is ours. If the Black Republican
I party is once more defeated, then it is dead
i forever; but should the Black Republican par
ty or sectional fanaticism succeed and its can-
I didate be elected to the Presidency', its triumph
) would be the overthrow and destruction of our
confederacy. When the Federal Constitution
shall be violated either in letter or spirit by the
triumph of a sectional party' that ignores its
sacred provisions as does the Black Republi
; can party, then the Union is,,at once dissolved;
I it is based upon M»eh open ho.Cjlity to the Hi
; stitution and rights of -the South that a disso.
- lution would inevitably follow its triumph. 1
I again appeal to National Democrats ; let us
unite, erect and build up an impenetrable bar
rier to disunion, till Gabriel’s trumpet shall
awaken the sleeping millions of earth's teem
ing dead. I, for one, would rather lay my’
head upon the lap of my mother earth and
J sleep the sleep that knows no waking than to
i live under a Black Republican government.—
' Yes, I had rather see my children consigned to
a premature grave than to know they' had to live
under such a government.
Mr. Editor, my feelings will not suffer me to
omit noticing the inconsistency’ of the Opposi
tion party’ South. Their constant cry is save
the Union ; still they persist in their old course
of battling against the Democracy’, the only
j link that holds this Union together. In 1858
they said Mr. Douglas was wrong, and de.
nounced him as a traitor to the South. Now
I they say he is right—a patriot and a constitu
• tional man. And why’ so ? Because the cudgel
that they struck Mr. Douglas with hits Mr.
Bell a smart blow. Five years ago, all their po
litical transactions was done within closed doors
in the dark, and in profound secrecy. How
changed now; when they act politically, they
must have a torch-light in one hand and a bell
| in the other, and very’ often one hung to their
, necks in order to be tremendous clamorous.—
| They charge the Democracy with corruption,
i and say its work is disunion and ruin. They
say’ that Democracy is not what it formerly
was, or rather that the Democratic party has
abandoned the ground it formerly occupied.—
Here I beg leave to differ with them. Nothing
could be more erroneous, than to say that De
mocracy has abandoned its former principles.
The Democratic party’ occupies the same ground
I it always occupid in relation to the great prin
ciples that underlie our system of government;
I in a government embracing so great a variety’
i of soil, climate, occupation and interests as
ours, there must necessarily be differences of
opinion, ami, to insure harmony, it must fol
low that, there must be concessions. New
I questions are continually rising which require
to be met and acted upon. In the details of
legislation necessary to meet the exigencies of
i those questions as they arise, where every man
i is left free to think for himself, there will al
ways be honest differences of opinion, but in
| regard to the great principles of government,
: and the end to be obtained, the democracy has
always been consistent with principle and with
| itself The object of all government, is the
welfare of the governed; the greatest good to
: the greatest number, and the general welfare
and "prosperity of the whole community, are
the objects for which the democracy have ever
labored, and now labor, to make the govern
ment prosperous at home, respected abroad,
and its subjects happy and contented, has ever
been the aim of the democracy. How tar they
have been successful, is sufficiently answered
’ by referring to our nation’s history. Success
fully and triumphantly, we have been through
two wars; our commerce whitens every sea
our nation is rich and pmsperous-our people
enjoy the largest liberty that can be required,
I —a free press diffuses information upon
subject though every walk of liie-our teni-
I tory extends through every variety of climate
and embraces every kind of soil; wherever our
flag floats on land or sea, it is respected, am
all who can claim its protection are safe from
the tyranny of despots, or the exactions of
Kings. And for all this prosperity, happiness
and nationality of character, we are indebted
to democratic national policy and democratic
legislation. Forty-seven years of the time since
Jefferson’s administration, the government has
been in the hands of the democracy, while but
twelve years has been alloted to the Opposi
tion. Every great measure that has ennobled
us as a nation —every inch of territory that has
been acquired, and every legislative act for the
advancement and prosperity of our people, has
| been originated, sustained and consummated
by the democracy. And this, too, against the
1 same bitter opposition and predictions of demo
cratic ruin which we now meet. For all that
is glorious in our past history—for the hope
of our future prosperity, and for the preserva
tions of our institutions—the upholding of our
constitution, and the safety of our Union, we
must look to the democracy, add the triumph
of democratic principles. Mr. Editor, you need
not fear the result in old Houston on the 6th
of November next, for the signs of the times
predict a handsome majority for the democra
cy. The Oppositionists seem to say defeated
again—if they do not say so in words, they do
so tacitly. E. FAGAN.

AVashington, Oct. 21.
Chance of lhfating Lincoln in New York—
Extent oj the American Vote—Conservative
Control in Congress and the Judiciary— 'The
Politico-Financial Panic,
There is, after nil, some chance of defeating
I Lincoln in New York, and it depends upon the
correctness of the American estimate of their
vote. That party claim a vote of 75,000 against
Lincoln, after allowing for nil defections. The
democratic organs have allowed them only
24,000. If they cast 75,000 votes for the fu
sion electoral ticket, it will be carried by a ma
jority of 40,000. The democratic vote will no
doubt be 20(1,000, if the fusion be cordial and
sincere. Again, New Yoik may secure an anti
republican Congress, by decting fifteen or six
teen anti republican representatives. This she
will certainly do, if, as the Journal of Com
merce says, “the fusion team should pull to
gether.” 'The country wll be safe as long as
the conservatives shall control both Houses of
Congress and the Judiciary, even if a black re
publican be, unfortunate!/, made President for
four years.
Some symptoms of a politico-financial panic
have appeared in the South. In New York the
stock market broke downlast week though Uni
ted States securities were not disturbed. The
last accounts from New York represent that
money is easy, and that the scarcity of capital
at the South is owing to natural and temporary
causes. There is much nore spare capital now
in New York than therewas three weeks ago,
according to the money articles.
There was some depression in the financial '
concerns of New Orleans a week or two ago,
but according to the Pitayuneof the 17th there
had been a partial recovery from the extreme
distrust that had Drevailed. ‘'We repeat,”
says the Picayune, “there is much despondency,
and the conservative element will now be strong- I
' Iv invited to rebuke and put down the croaking I
I tendencies of the timmf
In case of the election of LWicohi it is recom
menlep, even by*' 1 papersj»t the.
South, that resort should lie hail by all the i
Southern States to a peaccfu' remedy—that is, ;
immediate and entire non-intercourse with the -
Lincoln States.
1M Pt)RT ANT M O VEMENT.
A number of citizens of Louisiana, including
many of the most prominent merchants of this
city, without regard to party, have addressed
to Gov. Moore, now in this city, a petition, re
questing him to convene the Legislature of the
State, with a view of taking measures to meet
the great political crisis which now confronts
the South. The list of the signers of this peti
tion includes gentlemen who support Bell and
Everett as well as those who support Breckin
ridge and Lane.
They have been moved to this act by motives
of purely patriotic character. No political
managers or demagogues have had any part or
lot in the matter. It has emanated entirely
from the solid business men of our State —from
men who have large, material and social inter
ests at stake, and who feel that the South is in
a position demanding culm, but prompt, deci
sion, united and vigorous resistance to an ag
gressive sectional party, which is preparing to
assume control of the Federal Government,
and to inflict upon the South the horrors and
degradation of Abolition rule, to place these
States in the condition of provinces, to be ruled
over by a party which declares, as its main ob
ject and purpose, the overthrow of our whole
social and political system.
Gov. Moore, to whom this petition is address
ed, is one of our largest planters, and is a gen
tleman of conservative views, of great modera
tion and calmness of demeanor, but of inflexi
ble firmness and devotion to principle and
right. We have littie doubt that Gov. Moore’s
action and recommendations on this subject
will be such as will command the cordial ap
proval and united support of all the true men
of the South. There are peculiar reasons why
Louisiana, and especially the great commercial
metropolis of the South, should take early and
leading position in the great conflict that now
theatens.
The existence in our midst of so large a class
of undecided and luke-warm supporters of the
policy and claims of the South, is of itself an
ample reason why the majority of our citizens
should at once define and determine the posi
tion of the State. —A'. O. Delta.
Mr. Cobb ox Secession. —Mr. Secretary Cobb
was at Dalton, Saturday last, and a correspon
pondent of the Augusta Chronicle writes : that
after the conclusion of his speech, Mr. Cobb
said, in conversation where several were pres
ent, that the of Lincoln would be a
just cause for any or all the Southern States to
secedi.’’
“ Gradma,” said a little urchin “your specks
are upside down —do you wear them thus to
set to sew ? “ No, my dear, 1 wear them so
to see.”
