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.

CLIFFORD, SR., PRODUCE BROKER !j FORWARDING AND COMMISSION MERCHANT, NO. 281 MAIN STREET, Louisville, Kentucky, Personal attention given to all orders and con signments. 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 ronize me any more. Small orders will have the same attention as large. {^“’Ordersand Consignments solicited.
