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. [communicated.] 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. Three Thousand Hungarians Coming.— Alexander Lukaes, a member of the Revolu tionary Congress of Hungary, arrived at New York a few days since, and departed immedi ately for the Great West where he intends to re side He is commissioned to purchase a large tract of land lor thrpe thousand of his country men fiom Central Hungary, all farmers, and strong robust men.

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 fied Voters for the most numerous branch ofthe General Assembly, do meet at the several places of holding Elections, as fixed by law, in the sev eral Counties ofthis State, within the hours fixed for voting, on MONDAY, the Twen.y-fifth day ol NOVE.VIBER Next ; and then and there, by ballot, elect two Delegates in each ofthe Coun ties now entitled to one Representative rrr the General Assembly, and four Delegates in such Counties as are now entitled to two Represen tatives.

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.
