MACON,
FRIDAY MORNING. DECEMBER 28.
LETTER FROM REV. E. Y. McGEIIEE.
To the People of Houston County.
During a residence of more than thirty years
among you, it has not been neceseary for me to
▼indicate (publicly) either my character or con
duct, until the present time. In the Daily
Telegraph’ of the 20th inst., I am misrepresen
ted by an anonymous scribler over the signa
ture of “ Dissenter.” Whoever he may be, it
is not improbable that he is a disappointed as
pirant for the honors of a representative of
the 44 precipitatois in the State Convention,
and hence has allowed himself to cherish per
sonal feelings, and with unbecoming license at
tribute motives to others which have not inllu
enced them.
I propose to give a plain statement of facts
which can be corroborated by men of the high
est respectability. For more than twenty years
I have not participated in any political meeting
for nominations or other purposes, and during
that time, assurance of nominations have been
tendered me with good prospects ol success, ail
which 1 declined because ol my opposition
to such meetings. Those not acquainted w ith
me in the past, would conclude from reading
“ Dissenter’s” report, that 1 had been, all my
life, an office seeker.
Now to the facts in the case. A short time
before the occasions to which allusion is had,
I was asked if 1 would serve the county in the
approaching convention, it called on, to which
1 reluctantly yielded my assent, provided there
should be but one ticket; desiring harmony,
and regarding the position as one not to be
Bought by electioneering, and thereby engen
dering party strife and divisions among us, at a
time when party trirk*. prejudices, and
Mon# should have no influence on our decisions
in reference to the gravest question on which
we, as a free and sovereign people have been
called to take action.
On the 7th of December a meeting of the cit
izens was held at Henderson, over which Col.
W. M. Davis presided. A committee to pre
sent business was appointed and was retiring
when I entered the room. Going as a specta
tor, and not intending to engage in the proceed
ings. I took a position remote from the chair.—
During the absence of the committee, the recent
ftptech of Hon. T. R. IL Cobb was read. Res
olutions were then presented, and a spirited ad
dress delivered by Mr. 11. R. Eelder, followed
by Col. J. D. Watkins, after which, 1 was
called for, to which 1 responded briefly in some
impromptu remarks, alluding to the circum
stances in which our government was formed
under the Constitution—the rise, progress, and
success of the Abolitionists—the causes which
contributed to the result; among which was
unpardonable deoot ion to party. Spoke of the
aggressions of the North upon our rights- li
kened the condition of the South to that of a
gallant, but disabled ship among the breakers
--feared for her final safety, but with all on
board (meaning the Southern States), would
write “Southern Confederacy on her banner
ami put her out to sea—wanted the border
States, they having a common interest and des
tiny—thought Mr. Lincoln’s administration
would be conciliatory till the border States were
alxditionizetl and slavery' would be confined to
the Gulf States—had no faith in pledges from,
or compromises with, Black Republicanism
thought the Union virtually dissolved, hopeless
ly divided in sentiment on the slavery issue
that nothing less than decisive measures—an
eternal settlement of the question, in ot out of
the Union, would satisfy me without yielding
our rights to the common territory, and though
I did not enter into detail, I thought my posi
tion clearly understood. Myopinions were pre
sented for what they were worth, as 1 spoke tor
no party platforms, and consulted no leader ot
oracle.
The “Constitutional resistance men conven
ed on the 15th insL On the day before that
meeting, I was informed that it was intended to
nominate me as one of the candidates ; and cold
as the day was, I rode fourteen miles for the
purpose of preventing my name going before
the meeting, and giving my views in detail on
the policy indicated above.
In my remarks on this occasion, I noticed
the great lotion which is now agitating the
country, in a politico-religious asp< present,
past and future; pointed out the earors com
mitted heretofore by Southern statesmen—the
corruption of politicians —tffe rottenness ot Na
tional platforms, intentionally framed tor a Nor
thern and Southern construction, till platform
builders had raised up a formidable sectional
party at lbe < Norlh. This may have given of
fence, or “disgusted” “Dissenter, though not
(■tended for one party more than another. It
can hardly be doubted now, that a criminally
blind devotion to parties has contributed large
ly to our present troubles; tor it is true that
politicians at H ashington City have controlled
public opinion at home, while a tew men about
our county towns have dictated who should be
their collectors, sheriffs, judges, clerks, legisla
tors, Ac. It is time for the people to arise and
rebuke all such <elt\xMistitutvd organizations,
and listen and yield no longer to those whose
patriotism is not bvoa<kr than party linos, nor
lias any purjioses higher than selfish ambition.
Ix*t Georgia, through her Convention, pass
her Ordinance of Secession let it embrace her
reasons for going out of the Union. Send a
copy to the Governor of every State—invite a
Convention of all the Southern Males, endeav
or to get them to pursue a similar course. I'hey
niav co-operate. Il they do, much will be
gamed; if not, common courtesy, interest, and
destiny will be respected. Then it the question
of our rigli’s is not voluntarily settled, let her
execute the Ordinance nt the appointed time.—
This is Ute better Secession—lst Because “ in
union there is strength.” 2nd. I'he onus would
rest upon the Republican party of dissolving
the Vinon—they having failed m the last resort
to comply with the spirit of the Constitution,
on w hich our Ordinance was founded. .3rd. It
we secured the co-operation of the border Slates
much would In* gained. Uih. Because all might
without much sacrifice of opinion unite on this
policy, ami then we should have the moral
power of a w/uW South. Lastly, the future
historian of our times would exhibit us, what
ever be our coming destiny’, as calm, deliberate,
forbearing—and even God-like, towards a domi
nant fanaticism which has, disre
garded our rights.
Once more, and 1 close this notice of “ Dis
senter.” He says, “ that Rev. Dr. McGehee was
requested to open the meeting with prayer. —-
In this he told the truth, and I give him credit
for the same. Is it right to pray ? If so, I did
light in praying. I am afraid ‘‘Dissenter " don’t
prav.
lie says I made “ an out-and-out secession
tpe*ch two weeks bet re.” Stop my friend—
your imagination is rather fruitful. It was only
nine days, and if “ out-and-out” secession then.
it is out-and-out now —no change having taken
I place in my opinions. Again, he says, 1 made
a speech “ bidding for the nomination.” Mer
cy! was there ever such a stretch of the imagi
| nation to get away from the truth ? I publicly
! declined a nomination, if ten de re* I me.
senter” says that I vyas “for dissolving the t n
lion in certain contingencies, then, waiting f<>r
the aUditionists to kick us out; was for de
mand and against demands." etc.
Was “Dissenter” present or reprcseiUed by
proxy ? If present, he mn“t have been nnppiug.-l
* deaf, or What the people call tiyiit. My opinion
' has been the same, in private and public, viz. :
’ That Georgia should co-operate with the other
i Southern States, or resume her sovereignty
j alone, or with any number ol them, without
l demand, if our rights are withheld.
“Disgusted all parties and shades of opin
ion,” and took my seat. Does “D." know that
the committee 0f*.21, while in conference, ten
dered ine tho nomination, and th it I declined?
It would teem th y were not
Reader, mark well Mr. “D.” and see how easy
it is for him to slide from the truth. Perhaps
he wrote from the representation of others, if so,
I take back everything said, 'or written, of a
harsh character, and leave it for him to make, if
he chose, the amende honorable. As to Messrs.
Day, Castelo and Gilbert, who he terms “grand
daddies” in their dotage, and ridicules for “Go'U,
Dropey and Catarrh, they are abundantly able
to take care of themselves. They are reliable
men, and if “Dissenter” does represent them
in dotage and “blossoming for the grave”—ap
proaching “Abraham’s bosom,” or that “warm
er place”—they have grown gray in the service j
of their country —on battlefields, and in the ,
legislative councils of the State; and deserve a
better fate than to be held up to public con- ;
tempt by such self-constituted censors as “Dis- |
senter.”
I am pledged to no candidates, and in refer- i
ence to Messrs. Giles, Gunn, and Brown, 1 will i
say they are gentlemen, and I think would dis- >
like to take a seat in a Convention where the ,
determining vote was to be cast by a man who
is so full of contempt for old age, virtue, and
honorable character in the persons of Messrs.
Day, Castelo and Gilbert, as “Dissenter” seems
to be. EDWARD Y. McGEIIEE.

New Arrangement.
lITITH the facilities and long experience we possess
I V in the Musical Business, we did not only select
the BEST
PIANOS,
as regards tone and durability, but have also effected
the most advantageous terms to our customers for the
supply of superior Instruments. We partly selected our
Pianos and partly had them made to order. We are now
receiving, w ithout doubt, the best selection ever before
brought to Macon, consisting of
6 1-2, 7, and 7 1-4 Octaves
in plain an higdhly finished cases to suit every taste.—
These Instrument’s we are prepared to sell either for
Cash, on time, or monthly installments,
at the lowest Factory prices. The latter arrangement,
we think, will be accepted by many persons in want ot

pay the entire amount at once, and to whom it will be
easier to pay in monthly installments. Our object is to
assist such persons in procuring a first class Piano, for

Personal attention given to all orders and con

All goods forwarded with dispatch. All orders filled
the same day the order is received, if possible. From
my thorough knowledge of the markets, and my long ex
perience in the Grocery and Produce and Commission
business, I know that 1 can save those who order goods
from this market, a Fair Profit. No business man can
help seeing that this is the only correct way to order
goods—through one that gives his personal attention to
that branch of business. I inspect each article, buy
nothing but the best, and I buy and sell for CASH only,
consequently, can buy much less than those who buy on
thirty or sixty days time, as is customary with most bus
iness men in all markets. They who order their goods
throwth me, gets the best article, and at much less price
than those who oider through parties that is not in the
business, or knows but little or nothing about the mark
et or the article wanted.
I am agent for some of the best brands of Flour. Lake
and Salt Water Fish. N. Y. and W. R. Butter and Cheese,
and seeds of all kinds. I frequently have large Stocks of
Flour, Grain and Produce on hand; in that case, if I
have the article wanted, you save the 2X per cent. Com
mission, my only charge. N. Y. Exchange received at
selling rates here, ami Southern money at par. Al I
ask is a trial, then ; if Ido not please you, do not pat
