INI OK MKETISGS, AND THEIR
TENDENCY.
In the remarks we wish to make upon these
meetings, we desire to present our view of their
policy and consequences, in language perfectly
respectful. We however intend, at the same
time, to be as explicit as possible. First, we
feel assured that the organization of the Union
party in Georgia, upon the basis laid down for
it, is to be th« beginning of a Free Soil Party
South. This result may appear in some mitigated
shape, such for instance, as adopting as a cardinal
principle, the doctrine that Congress may con
stitutionally inhibit the introduction of slavery
into the Territories—or that slavery per se is an
evil and “has no charms for me," in the language
of Mr. Ai.ExtSDtR Hamilton Stkpiiens —or
that colonization is the true policy for the South
—or that our free mechanical labor shall not be
subjected to slave competition. We predict
tkat from thisday forth, until that crushing and
blasting defeat that await this organization shall
come upon it, that this last mentioned doctrine
will be revived, and with increased zeal will be
presented through every ad eaptandum appeal
that its promoters have in reserve. Whether we
have divined iu all those instances, the exact
course of the Union Party, or more correctly the
Submiisionists, or not, lime will soon prove that
we are right in believing that the institution of
the Union party is the beginning of a fierce con.
flict on oar soil in relation to slavery, that here
tofore has commanded the united moral and
physical forces of the entire South.
How can vt bo different, when if we take up
*,t>y expose oCthe objects of that party or of its
pninoiplea, we hear nothing but an abject super
stition about the Union—and wc detect nothing
but a purpose to secure a party nscendancy in
(his State, it matters not how depressing or dis
astrous to the great cause of the country. We
hear nothing, absolutely nothing, in reprobation
of the aggressions upon our rights in all this
patriotic party have to say about the state of the
country. One must be forced to think that
these sachems who are leading us, reallv believe
that after all the fuss, the North is right, and that
the South, as usual, is only blustering about a
child's bauble. If the Union party docs not really
think thus, why not come out and say so ? Why
not, while chanting with all the ecstasy of a
set of fire worshippers,their hosannas to this glo
rious Union, chant something about the vile
treatment imposed lu his same Union on their
country and their honor. Why not deal fairly by
the people- If we have not been aggrieved, say
so—if we have been aggrieved, say this too.
But for decency's sake—for the sake of truth and
fair dealing toward* one's fire-side, dont do as
Messrs.Tuombs and Stephens have done,go on
cloaking a sale,or abandonment oft he land of our
birth under the ferocious, butchering bravadoes
of a tongue that lias no words but “forked ones"
for those who put faith in them. Any one to have
heard these two notorious characters speak ill the
House of Representatives, would ituve sworn
that if Georgia did not resist, then, “single-hand
ed, solitary and alone” they would. But, all a
long, there was matured in their ntinds, but one
idea, and that was, that Georgia should be sold.
Whether this lias licen done or not, nous rerrons
We would appeal to those honest men who
have been deterred from extreme measures, as
they have been cal led, by the loss to the country
of resistance, or who have really such a love for
the Union that they think we had better submit
than resist, if their party are treating us all fairly
when they have no words of denunciation for
the North, hut many of abuse for their own peo
ple suffering in a common cause. We ask those
moderate Union men,who we believe are acting
honestly, if we should go on forever enduring
wrong, and showing no other resistance to it but
hut bv praying God to thicken our skins, that
wrong should not smart as it lias done. How
many years, we would ask, would this long suf
fering take to subdue the heart of a Yankee task
master, or how many scourges put on our hacks
will it take to lash the conscience of the North
back to its duty. The great wrong that this new
vamped Union party isdoing ourcountry is, that
while their faint words of censure on the North
are just enough to save them from the charge of
openly siding with the Yankees, they never see
anything gross enough in the injury perpetrated
on us to resist now; and will not say vvliat
amount of wrong will fill the measure of their
patience and endurance- So the South by their
patriotism “never is, hut always to be, blest.”
We would be perfectly willing to enter into a
solemn compact with the Union Party of Geor
gia to.iiay, and see every other Southern Rights
man in the State do the same, that we would
unite with them heart and soul it they would
only give us assurances that the Subinissionists
would ever, in any possible contingency, see
just ground of resistance. We would the more
readily consent to this, because we have never
doubled that this abolition Government would
go into the States themselves in its crusade a
gainst slavery; and we just as little doubt that ev
ery such diversion in thestrength and unity ofthe
South as is made daily by suclt men as are found
in the Union parly of this day, is to result in on
rouragement to our deadly foe, and in depression
to us. We need not fear any bargain we could
make with the Submission party in resisting, at
any giren point, as that point will assuredly he
reached by Congress, though we make the mark
as far as the entire abolition of slavery in Georgia.
What we deprecate in the conduct of the
Submission party is, such a partial and one
sided discussion of our controversy with the
North, as will inevitably pervert the truth, and
minds of our people, who are accessible to these
appeals. Lot us begin here to assert on one
side.that Congress meditates injury to oar rights,
and indeed, that Congress has grossly wronged
us ; and on the other, that the Government has
never done its harm and never intends to; and one
poll held on this issue, will be more tlvaikenough
to blind the eyes of many in this State so effec
tually, that they will never he able to find any
thing about the institution of slavery worth de
fending, at tho risk of this “glorious Union,'' or
•he still more glorious majority that may possi
bly be secured by a hypocritical glorification ofit
We from thisday, warn Georgians to keep the
of the West India Islands forever before
•heir eyes, for this is note being prepared for us.

The Meeting on Saturday Last.
•Vr. Editor — Kttowin as I do,the chicoonery that
is used in the deduction from popular assemblies,
and specially from the meetins of our party, to
wit, The Union Stars and Southern Stripes forever,
and knowin also that somethin of this sort would
come out soon about our meetin to-day, I went
in person to see for myself, and write this for
you to publish, so as to correct mistakes. I
spose its no use denyen that we have been drumin
hard in all the allies, shops and stores on both
sides of the river, and through ail the districts in
the county, for a week, to get the proper sort of
a crowd—Well, when I went down, I went to
our leaders and told inn what, or begun to tell
urn what I thought was best,and they said hush,
we got it all arranged and printed, and Iwontdo
in this crisis, to be gettin divided, and so on, so
I axed who printed urn, they said our organ—
that’s sufficient said I—all's right. Socordin to
arrangement, their Honors Judge Holt, who
was once Judge of the Superior Court and also
once a Whig—and Judge Armstrong, who is
Judge ofthe Inferior Court, and once a Demo
crat, was called to the Chair, and you know, as
a reward for recent distinction, Mr. Thomas
llardkman, Jr., was made Secretary again.—
Then Col. Washington Poe, who was a Nulli
fier in 1833, rose and stated lie was the individual
to read the Resolutions which we was met to
pass, which lie drawedout into two long columns
cut off from a newspaper like the Chronicle &
Sentinel or our organ. Now I would speak, if
I knowd how, ofthe fcelin manner in which he
read—just like he was pleadin for some criminal
that he had no doubt ought to be and would be
hung—and here, if I hud been on that Committee
there would have been better fixin—we would
a sent on for some fresh inyuns, distributed round
mongst the knowin, lo squeeze tho juice into
our eyes at the proper time, and it would a told
powerfully ; but you see I didn’t know nothin
bout the matter—but any how we all felt kind a
sorterisli when we seed the long faces of the
Judges arid heard the mournful tones of the read
er. Now, Mr. Editor, you know there’s juglin
in all things, and especially in politics, so I seed
from the Resolutions, that the thing had been
played low down, and tharforo I was satisfied.
There was one Resolution for one man and
one for another, and another, and so on, accordin
lo Scriptur “all things to all men that by al|
means we git some.”
One said we had been injured and insulted.
Another that we was in the. enjoyment of
peace and prosperity.
Another that California wasn’t much of a
country no how.
Another that we were eternally attached to
the Union.
One said that if our wrongs were repeated
we’d play h'll with the Union.
Another that we love our Northern brethren
and specially those among us
One (item eon) that <ve were no submissionists;
but ACQUIESCE.
Another that we pledge our lives, our fortune*
and our sacred honors to support no one who
would not swear to betray (lie honor ofthe Estate
in the Convention.
And then Col. Poe said lie didn't sen any use
in his exliortin such a crowd of respectable and
refined and enlightened citizens, and I thought
so ton, as we was all ready to vote for anything
which had been printed by our organ, and read
so mournfully by our reader. Anyhow he was
to speak sentimental and feelin like, and the
secret committee kept lookin for it, and lie did
so, in the language of the poet
“The mountain looked on Marathon,
Marathon on the sea ; oh Lord, 'you ever see
Such Nullifiersas Fil le-more and me.”
And then all the Nor’od men—and there was
about half of that sort —stomped the floor—ap
plauded with sticks, shook their locks, and bent
down their strait shirt collars with sweat and
admiration—some ofthe rest of us knowin ones
looked kinder skance at one another, as much as
to say ‘nowhenkes um,‘and one or two of the old
fashioned country gentlemen opened their eyes,
for they couldn't zac.kly understand how it was
that thar was so many Yankees in town, and
how they was all down here—forifyou take out
the Fire-eaters, the Mechanics and the office
seekers, the rest was all Yankees.
Then when Col. Poe sot down, the President
put the printed Resolutions, sez I now's yer time
boys, and we carried uni like a flash—and one
in pertickler, that one as says, that we was no
SUBMISSIONISTS, which was unanimous.
Then Col. Abb Powers, who you know ha s
jined our party, rose nnd said, Mr. President, I
move that tiiese rules and resolves he printed in
the Georgia Citizen—and ar-ra-gh the Journal &
Messenger. Then the Fire-eaters sorter snickled
like, which made the Journal So Messenger man
rise to his feet and object to the association,
saying he moved that all the city papers print
the proceedings.
But Mr. I. Scott didn't like the motion—he
didn't know but they might charge (as though
our principles were so craven and unsouthardly
as to require money to get urn into print,) and
insisted on insertin the words “be requested,”
which was agreed to.
I didn't think to inquire of our leaders before
wc adjourned, how it was that our ineetin had
been called by a name so much like tiie Fire
eaters had named themselves, hut I sorter smelt
the idea anyhow,— you see, our principles look
ed so Nor’ad like, we had to have a warm equa
torisli name to get uin down at all—upon the
principle, the colder the principles, the hotter
the name.
Then we adjourned, to meet at some futur
time,when the Judges is to empanel and swar us
in agin, by way of makin sure, and the Commit
tee often will report which persons of themselves
they have lit apon to run for the Convention.
Post Script —l had like to have forgot to say
that thar was about not ten more or less than 150
persons at our meetin, counted by several indi
viduals requested to do so—being classified as
follows ; 60 Yankees and journeymen, 50 Fire
eaters, who, like evil genii, had straggled down
thar lo look on and laugh at our manoeuvres—
never mind, they'll grin somehow else, before
Christmas—and the rest were office-seekers—all
told. ISAIAH HANCOCK
Letter from California.
Sacramento Citt, July 28, 1850.
Col. R. A L. Atkinson — Dear Sir —When
I left Macon I promised yon after my remaining
here for a short time, I would write to you, and
accordingly I now comply with that promise.
From Panama I have had a hard time of it. Af
ter remaining there on a heavy expense for some
time, waiting the arrival of the steam ship New
Orleans, on which I had a ticket, for which 1
paid S3OO on the 6th day of February last, all
hopes of its early arrival was given up, (and I
would here mention that it has not been heard
of at Panama yet,) I was simple enough to ship
on a sail vessel, and was out in the broad Pacific
sixty-seven days —and during the whole voyage
there was not, at any one meal in the cabin,
half enough set on the table to eat ; when com
plaint was made, it was answered by insult, or
that it was all that was to be set on the table for
that meal ; so argument here was exhausted.
From what I have said about the cabin fare you
can judge how it was in the steerage.
I arrived in San Francisco on the 30th day of
June, and remained there for a day or two only,
and will here state that it is anything hut a pleas,
ant place, although it is cool enough, hut the al
most continuous westerly winds which are pret
ty strong, keep your eyes and everything shroud
ed in sand and dust. This will account for the
piece having been so often burned up ; and it
seems to me the only way of remedying it, is
to build fire proof houses, which they have com
menced. It would seem they have a strong City
Guard, but when it takes fire as in your city, it
lias to burn out.
Aly trip up this, the Sacramento River, wa»
'n the night, and I can consequently, say but
little about the appearance of the country, unti|
we came in thirty miles of this city. The banks
ol the river which I saw were generally low and
the plains covered with grass and wild oats, ex'
tending for a long distance hack—this grass
or hay is very valuable, arid is saved with very
little trouble and is worth here now $5 per 100
pounds—in the winter or rainy season it is much
higher lain informed. If you were here and
see the quantity in and immediately around this
place, you would ask what they were going to
do with it, thinking there was sufficient for two
or three years, but they tell mo there is not one
fourth enough to serve the winter.
This place, Sacramento City, is a wonder for
its age—eighteen months ago there were not a
half dozen framed buildings in it, now it main
tainsa population of from twelve to fifteen thous'
and inhabitants. There is no place you were
ever in where houses went up with half the
rapidity they do here—the average since I have
been here cannot be less than ten each day, Sun*
day excepted. Property here is high and rents
enormous—such a house as your store that was
burned down, would be worth from $2,500 to
$3,000 per month, (I mean the lower room and
tho house of wood.) These exorbitant rents
will have to come down, but I think not until
the next rainy season passes over, and they may
not then. The city is certainly subject to inun
dation to some extent every year lam informed,
it generally happens in the Spring, when the
snow on the Mountains commences melting.—
The City authorities are now making arrange,
ments to have a levee built, this will be a costly
affair, as baborers cannot be abtained here for
less than SIOO per Month, and found; handsare
hard to find at the before mentioned price ; the
usual price for labor hire by the day, is from 7
to 10 dollars, mechanics much higher (not found
board )
From this place you can see the perpetual
snow covered Mountains, at the distance offrom
60 to 100 miles, looking so white in the morning
when the sun is rising, the sight is entirely mag
nificent, —there is plenty of the snow waggoned
from the mountains and sold here at 25 cents
per pound, and is a great luxury. This is the
most unwholsome climate I ever expected to
find in latitude 38 deg. North latitude. At 4
o'clock A. M., the Thermometer will be at 55,
and at from 2 until 4 o’clock, P. M., it will stand
in tho shade at 110 degrees—lmagine for your
self wliat effect it must have upon the constitu
tion to he transferred from cold te heat in so
short a time—those who have been in the moun
tains and among the diggings, say it is cooler in
the nights and warmer of days than this place.
There has not been a night since I arrived hero
that I have not slept under as much cover as is
ever used in the States in the winter—How is it
possible for an emigrant arriving from the States
at this season of the year to commence out-door
work, that has not been used to it, and even if
be has, it goes very hard, and is always the last
resort. My opinion is that those used to com
fortable living, if they were here and labor in
the sun as those acclimated do here, one half of
them would not live two months—there are very
few who come to this place who escape the
diarrhcea, caused from the cool nights and bad
water —in this city a well with water in it in
one night will produce a portion of saltpetre—
ho inhabitants use the river water. The tim
ber in this country, what I have seen, is com
paratively useless—it is made up of a very few
scrub oaks and sycamores, neither of which are
fit for timber—they answer for fire wood, hut
you have to blast them with powder—wood is
worth from 16 to S2O per cord here. The faro
in this country is much better than I expected
to find it—we have good bacon, beef, mutton
venison, elk and fish, all fresh and good", and
all kind of vegetables. The lowest price for
decent board is S2O per week.
When I left Macon there were many that
wished to come to this country, but were pre
vented for want of means; to such and all others
I would say, remain in Georgia, where the cli
mate is pleasant and work can be done with
comfort for a subsistence, which is not the caso
here nor never will bo. There is a great quan'
tity of gold taken in this country, but I am credi
bly informed that not one out of ten that arenow
in the mines are making expenses—you will
hear of pieces being found to weigh thirty pounds
Troy, but this does not happen so often as a
man is struck with lightning. From whatinfor
mation 1 can gather, if the miners were to re
main here ten years, with the same success they
now have, the svhole oflheiji woqld not be able ’
to place themselves at home in so good a condi
tion on an average, as when they left the State*
this arises from many causes, principally,how
ever, from gambling and drinking, which is very
easy done when liquor is from 25 to 50 cents per
glass—another c!a» when sick call in a Ducto r
when they may count themselves gone so far n s
money is concerned; and there are very many
who die for want of subsistenca and the proper
clothing to suit this extraordinary climate.
Some few will return with fortunes from mining,
others will do a good business for the time they
remain, which will not be long, hut nine out of
ten will die here or remain in the country for
years to come, and then return at some otlie r
person s expense—l mean the mining class of
course. The class I think that will make the
most money are those rascally speculators tha t
get some of the natives or .Mexicans to claim on
the river, where there is a location for a town—
the Yankee pretends to buy it ofthe pretended
owner, lays it off into lots, sells them at auction
and his fortune is made—This is the case with
this place, John A. Sutter never had any more
title to this land, than you or I, although it is
now all claimed by these rascals under this pre
tended title of Sutter. This is the case in all
parts ofthis country Uncle Sam will have to
do something soon with the domain or there
will be none ofit left.
As for myself, if I was now at home,and know
what I now do, I should certainly remain there;
and there are hut few of a contrary opinion.—
But I am here, and as yet doing nothing—but I
shall remain here for a long time, make money
or die here. If I should be so fortunate as to
make anything handsome, I shall return, and
not until then.
1 forgot to mention that I had never been lucky
enough to get the three hundred dollars I paid
for my ticket from Panama to San Francisco—
the probability is that the company willcontend
that they have no right to pay it—l am now
wailing for the urrival of the New Orleans, and
will then see.
I shall leave for the mines in a week or two l
as it will not do to come this far and not see the
'Elephant,' and 1 have thought it prudent to
become somewhat acclimated before exposing
myself too much to the sun.
There is one thing in paiticular I will here
enjoin on you, and that is, if you ever hear any
of your friends speak of coming to this country,
use your influence to keep them at home ; for I
have not written you half ns bad as it is, and
those that come here will find it so.
Respectfully, your obedient servant,
WILLIAM GUNN.
An Incendiary. —The Albany Patriot says,
The citizen ofEufaula, Ala, held a public meet
ing on the lUlh Sept to consider the case of one
Elijah Betts, residing near Eufaula. It seems that
Belts avowed himself an abolitionist and the au
thor of a highly seditious and incendiary letter,
published in the National Era of Aug 29. The
meeting, after ascertaining these important facts
by the acknowledgment of the party, appointed
a vigilance committee and instructed them
to inform the said Elijah Betts to leave that coun
ty within five days from date of notification, and
to carry out this resolution of the citizens.
When the Constitutional law cannot protect
the rights of a community, it is the right and
the duty of such community to protect itself, by
such means as are most consistent with natural
justice Judging from the fads slated in tho
proceedings of this meeting, the citizens of Eu
•aula have exercised this right, and performed
this duty, in a spirit of justice and moderation.

GEOHGE W. TOWNS.
Govcroor of said State.
To the Electors thereof —Greeting :
Having been officially informed, that the Con
gress of the United States has admitted California
into the Union of the States of tliia Confederacy,
upon equal terms with the original States, a duty
devolves upon me in the performance of which,
I shall trespass upon the public but briefly.
An unfeigned deference for public opinion,
and the profound regard I entertain for the wis
dom, firmness, and patriotism of my fellow citi*
zens of Georgia, will not justify me, in a paper
of this character, in repeating my known and
unchanged opinion as to the duty of the South
in repelling Free-soil encroachment, and arrest
•ngi by all proper means, usurpation by Congress.
Whatever is compatible with the honor and
obligations of the People of this State to the
country, its laws, and its institutions, 1 doubt
not, will receive their warm support.
In an hour of danger—when your institutions
are in jeopardy—your feelings wantonly out
raged, your social organization derided, your
honor deeply wounded and the Federal Consti
tution violated by a series ofaggressive measures
all tending to the consummation of ono object,
the abolition of slavery—when your equal right
lo occupy and enjoy the common territory of all,
has been denied you, in the solemn form of law,
under pretences the most shallow, it well be
comes you to assemble, to deliberate, and coun
sel together for your mutual preservation and
safety.
Whatever course the extraordimqp events by
whicli wo are encompassed, will demand or jus
tify, must be left, as it should be, to tho patriot
ism, firmness and prudence of the people them
selves. Upon them devolves the duly of re
dressing present wrongs, and providing other
safeguards, for future security • Neither tile one
nor the other of which, however, will ever he
effectually accomplished, until, by patriotic ef
forts, perfect harmony and concord of feeling
are restored, and confidence and concert of ac
tion producep among the people of tho South.
In view, therefore, of the atrocious free soil
sentiment and policy, not merely of the non
slaveliolding States, but of the Government—of
the imminent peril to which the institution of
slavery is reduced by the act of Congress admit
ting the State of California into the Union, with
a Constitution containing the principle of the
W i I mot Proviso, in defiance of our warning and
earnest remonstrance—in view ofthe deplorable
fact that some diveraity of opinion exists in some
of the Southern States as to the pcoper mode of
redressing the wrongs, and averting the dangers
which all must gee and fuel, let me, fellow citi
zens, earnestly entreat you to cultivate for eacli
otlii r a deep and abiding sentiment of fraternal
regard and confidence. Approach the tusk, from
which there is no escape, ofdeciding upon your
duty to Georgia and tho country, with a firm
step, but not without culm, deliberate and pa
tient investigation, consulting neither fears nor
dangers on the one band, nor permitting your
selves, from exasperated feelings of wrong on
the other, to be rashly urged to extreme measures
which have not received the full sanction of your
judgment. Then I shall not dospair of seeing
the whole State, as one man, proposing nothing
beyond what the emergency may demand, or
failing to perform whatever patriotism, honor
and right, may require at your hands.
The penerul Assembly of this Sin e, by an
act approved Btli February, 1800, having requir
ed me, upon the happening of certain events, one
ol whicli is the admission of California u a State
into the Union, to issue a proclamation, ordering
an election to be held in each and every countv
for Delegates to a Convention of the People of
this State, to take into consideration such meas
ures ns comport with the extraordinary posture
of our relations to our co-States, and to decide
upon wliat steps are necessary and proper to be
taken compatible with our honor and constitu
tional obligations, as well as more effectually to
secure our right of property in slaves, and to ar
rest all aggressions, by one section ofthe Union,
upon the free enjoyment of the constitutional
lighls ol the other, and lastly' to preservo invio
late the equality ofthe States of (lie Union, as
guarantied under the Constitution .- Therefore,
be It known, that I, George W. Towns, Gov
ernor ofthe Slate ofGeorgia, by the authority
and inandato ofthe law, do issue this my Pro.
elamation ordering and directing that the'quali

DB. CAItY COX,
Informs tho Public that lie is prijiared
liiSri r ° r tl,e repe P l ' ftn persons suffering
JHUaLwitli chronic diseases, at his Water Cure
or Electro Ilydropatbie Establishment, near
Marietta, Cobb county, Ga. His Baths arc sit
uated near the principal Buildings. The scene
in the immediate vicinity is picturesque, being
near Kennesaw Mountain. The secnery, pure
water, the great elevation above the level ofthe
ocean, (being 450 feet above even the Tennesson
line on the Western and Atlantic Railrnad,) the
convenience of across by Ruilrnad, the refined
and intelleetual society, and pure atmosphere,
have alt most udmirably conspired to render the
location suitable for an establishment of the
kind.
The Proprietor deems it needless to say nfty
thing relative to the curative powers of either
Water or Electricity, as the general mass of the
people in this country have attained a knowledge
of tlicir groHt value in removing disease. He
flatters himself that lie is able with pure Water
and Electricity, to remove any character or des
cription of disease that'could, under other treat
ment or circumstances, possibly be removed—-
together with a numerous host, that all other
remedies must necessarily fail to remove.
The expenses per day, for a Patient at his
Establishment, will be for Board, use of Electric
Shocks and Baths, with Water Baths, Medical
advice and attention, with ordinary attention of
Servants, $! 50: which includes ail necessary
expenses,except washing an outfit for the sweat'-
ing process, bandaging, Sic. —payable weekly in
advance.
For further particulars, post paid communion
tin ns will meet with prompt attention if address
ed to I)r. CARY COX, Marietta, Cobb ro. r Gu
