one dollar per pound.—llere unlike the climate in parts of Mexico we meet with none of those sudden elevations of land, whoso tops are perpectually cov ered with snow, which send down among the plains a freezing blast from icy regions to chill the blood of the people during the hot months of summer. And again, unlike that climate we never here see frozen clabber in August from a sudden visit of the norther. Observations of the thermometer at Quin cy shows a far less range of heat and cold during the year than any other place with which lam ac quainted. It is conclusive then such a location af fords more inducements to invalids than any other; and while I confess in all truth and candor, we have frequent sudden changes from heat to cold, in this place, yet, these atmospheric changes do not run into either the extremes of heat and cold of other regions. This is the charm this region possesses, this is the advantage it holds out to the invalid. As evidence of the truth of the above remark, I have it in my power to give a tabular statement of the thermometer for the last ten or fifteen years. These observations were made by the Rev. Dr. D. L. White an old resident of the town of Quincy, who has po litely furnished me with a copy of part of them. In a short essay like this, I can only give the range of the heat and cold for J une and December. On the 22nd of June 1850 A. M. the Mercury stood at *76 and in the even.ng at 90 —on the 20th Dec. 1849 A. M. it stood at 04, evening at 70. The town of Quincy is remarkable for the health, ns well as the good order of its inhabitants. Here, the stranger is greeted by five churches, embracing the creeds of most religious denominations extant among us, also hotels sufficient for all the business operations of the place. The proprietor of the Car olina House in this place, is now fitting up his es tablishment in very handsome style, carpeting his rooms Ac, for the comfortable accommodation of in valids and strangers. Quincy is well supplied with the sons of yEscula pius, and is easy of access. Steamers ply from New York to Savannah via Charleston S. C., thence a line of Railroad to Macon, thence a line of stages to this place, tri-weekly. From New Orleans and the far West, by steamers, within twenty miles of this place. D. BRAD WELL, M. D. Quinct, August 12, 1850. Ccrmiponiieitfe. LETTER from SASfDERSVILLE. Sandkrbvillb, August 27th, 1850. L. F. W. Andrews, Esq., Dear Sir .—-Should you issue nnother paper, you are at liberty to publish this letter. you should not, then you may use it in any other manner you think proper, and I want my name to go with the publi cation to prevent any unnecessary speculation as to who I am. There can be no doubt as to the motives of those who institu ted lawless proceedings against you. The issue they make is a falte one; it is not the letter of your correspondent that is so objectiouable to them, but it is the independence with which you attack their disunion schemes. It is an effort to put down by force those who differ with them. While the disunion press of this State are denouncing all who do not go with them as traitors, we are expected to be silent. We are denied the privilege of the crawling worm which will sting the foot of the oppressor. Having failed in all their efforts commeneiag with the Nash ville Convention down to the last great abortion, they seem now resolved to effect that by force which they have failed to effect by deception. While they have pretended to the people that if they would demand the Missouri Compromise they could get it, they did not tell them that is that line was not received the Union was to be dissolved. And while they ad mit that that line is unconstitutional, they do not tell the peo ple that they demand this unconstitutional law or that they will dissolve the Union. They do not tell the people that it is expected that Georgia is to lead off in the first steps to dis solve the Union so as to give character to the scheme* of South Carolina. And they take care to keep in the back ground the fact that they are at heart opposed to the Missouri Com promise, and only adopt it now to advance their unholy pro jects of disunion. Borne of the largest slave-holders in this State are denounc ed as abolitionists, and that by men who have none and never will own a slave, men of desperate fortunes who know that they oould not be worsted, and might be bettered by a oivil war. There are thousands of slaveholders in Georgia who believe that the only security they have for that kind of prop erty is by remaining in the Union, and who are confident that in six months after the commencement of the war, every slave in this State would be free. Whose schemes then lead to abolition pray 1 More than this it is au alarming state we are approaching when we are told that England is to bo called upon to aid the South and when English subjects are active in disunion meetings. Should England take the des tinies of the South into her keeping, God help her, for she has already freed the negroes in every one of her Colonies. But Charleston will be built up. Well, we have some interest in Savannah, and desire to see our own seaport prosperous. It has been boldly proclaimed in this region that in the approaching war (which will be upon us in a few months more, unless the designs of corrupt men are stopped) the negroes are to be armed to fight for their masters. Were ever men so deluded before ? Negroes have no business with arms in their hands. The proper place for them is the corn and cotton fields, and there is where I wish them kept. Yet it has been proclaimed here in the presence of hundreds that our negroes are to bo armed to help ns fight, and with the assistance of England and the negroes, we will whip the yankees. Such principles are immoral, daDgerous and cor rupt, and as such I pronounce them. As I do not know the circumstances surrounding you at present, I do not know what course to recommend you to per sue. Your rights could be protected in this place. Ido not know that they can be in Macon. The publication of your paper should be continued if possible. I have heard but one expression of opinion here even among tho 36 30 men, and that is unqualified condemnation of your persecutors. No man attempts to excuse their course, much less to justify it.— Such conduct has raised important questions which must be solved in a short time if persisted in. We will submit to the laws of Georgia, but not to mobs. Whatever course Geor gia may resolve to pursue wo will stand by her but wc will not be driven by any power short of that. Property is dear to us, but liberty still dearer. If ,-sapers that speek our sen timents respecting the plans of the disunionists arc to be put down, then the next step will be to put down those who dare utter a word against them. We are called submissionists ; very well. When the occasion presents itself, we will see. Yours respectfully, R. W. FLOURNOY. LETTERS from ATLANTA. ( Atlanta, August 26, 1850. Ur. L. F. W. Andrews, Dear Sir: — l am truly pain ed to hear of your situation at the present time. lam utter ly astonished at such outrageous proceedings as have been had against you. A letter reached this place yesterday morning, addressed to the Mayor of our city, informing In m of what transpired against you, and suggesting to the city authorities the expe diency of proposing some measures to those having the con trol, to dispense with Hanloiter’s services in tho Telegraph office, or something to that effect. Mr. Han loiter has been dismissed from business—not however from any suggestions of the Council. Ihe Mayor treated the communication with contempt. You arc aware of the lights and privileges guar anteed to you by the Constitution of tho United States, the supreme law of the Lind, and therefore surely you will not be deterred from maintaining the station you have assumed by such lawless threats. Ido hope you will treat tho action of the mob with indif ference, unless self-preservation sternly demands submission for a while. Already all who in any-wise encouraged and prosecuted the lawless projoct against you arc liable to be sued, and heavy exemplary damages may be obtained against them, —for their own letters and resolutions show conclusive ly want of justification on their part for the violent meas ures taken by them against you. Even without the provision of the constitution in relation to the freedom of the press, Ac, they have oommitted an injury on your person , and if you do not prosecute a suit against them for damages, I think you will be remiss in performing tho dut os you owe yourself and family. The law is this: “Menaces of bodily hurt, through fear of which a man’s business is interrupted is an injury to his person and actionable.— And whoevor heard of a more aggravated ease ! For muoh smaller grievances thou sands have been obtained. Let me assure you that almost all tho citizens of Atlanta are opposed to the measures that have b een taken against you. I have thus taken the liberty to address you feeling as I do an interest in your welfare. In haste, Yours &c, M. A. B. Atlanta, August 26, 1850. Dear Doctor : —I drop you these lines in order to assure you that my feelings are big with indignation at the high hannded and iHegal proceedings had against you by a blood thirsty band of Disunionists! Oh !ye would be sainted long faced Christian mob late adherents, what is the boasted lib erty of “speech and the press ?” To what quarters has rea son fled ? Tell me not of tyranny, slavery, and heathenism of other climes, and ages—while at home, and at present, we hare such fearful demonstrations of lack of justice and humanity !! By way of encouragement, I say, and I have reason to believe, that there are many that wiii endorse it, not only here but everywhere, where independence exists, go on with the “Citizen” and abide the result. If the explanation given in your extra, and your defence as there stated, does uot elicit a spirit of charity in your be half, and quell the mob—* then “blow Gabriel, blow the death knell of Liberty is tolled, the faggot and stake eome next —the dark ages are re-ushered in! ! Y ours truly, ATL ANTI AN. Atlanta, Ga., Sept. Ist, 1850. Dear Doctor : —Accept my congratulation ou your success in maintaining the station which you have assumed, notwith standing the menaces of a vile mob which threatened your overthrow. The appearance of the “Citizen” in our midst, on yesterday, was quite surprising to the credulous “fire eat ers” of this place, who had been exulting over a rnistatement of your submission, published in the Atlanta Intelligencer.— The chagrin of the servile maniacs that have been exult ing at the announcement of your discomfiture, and anxiously awaiting its confirmation, now, since their perusal of your “Half Sheet,” can better be imagined than expressed. Let them realize in their own insignificancy, what they justly de serve, and have incurred, the contempt of every high mind ed citizen of Georgia ! Go on, go on in the praiseworthy en terprise in which you have embarked, an enterprise whose grand object is the security of the people's right, and de fence of the weak and oppressed, proudly aiming at REF ORMATION by condemning corruption in its every phase, moral, social, and political ; and therefore, necessarily inim ical to every form of tyrany over the mind of man. LET NOT SUCH AN ENTERPRISE BE THWARTED, f o long as an arm can be raised in its behalf. Let the “Geor gia Citizen” continue to circulate among the people of Geor gia, interesting them as a map of busy life, spicy, piquant, and varied, breathing as it spreads tho noble Ecntiment of the poet: “ Thy spirit independence let me share, Nor heed the storm that howls along the sky. ” Go on, kind sir, in the laudable work; and if, in the faith ful discharge of the high duties of your station, yon shall be assailed by the reckless and unprincipled, be assured the lofty spirit of freedom and of’American Independence will not slumber among the people, but will openly manifest itself in the repulsion of the violence directed against your noble ef forts. This is no phantasma of a vain enthusiam. Sir, the constitution of the United States—the Constitution of Geor gia, the law of the land, the magnanimous spirit of the age, are all safeguards preservatory of your rights from the threat ened violence of that pusillanimous mob; a name, too mild in designation of a combination composed of an unprincipled set of men! Severe, but just. Menaces of suh men over throw an independent press in the State of Georgia ! Deter you from your post ? No, methinks you are ready to ex claim in the spirit and language of fcoedom : “ I have laid me flat along, And as gust followed gust most furiously, Threatning to sweep me o'er the horrid brink, I’ve thought of other lauds where storms were summer flaws compared to mine; And for a moment I have wished me there: The thought that mine was free has checked tliai wish, And I have raised my head, and cried in thraldom to that furious wind, Blow on, blow on, this is a land of liberty. ” You must forbear with the severity and warmth manifested in the foregoing remarks : for, whenever I see a set of men attempting to abridge the freedom of speech and of the press, the powerful influence and worth of which, can only be seen and fully appreciated in beholding the wonderful advancement of the American people, in the physical and moral world, with the retrogressive tendencies of the mad folly plainly in view, cannot find terms too severe, too bitter iu expressing my execration of the foolish precipitancy, nor eulogies too high for that loftiness of soul which dares to maintain its inviolability from the contemptible assault. In conclusion, I will assure you that the citizens of Atlanta, with the exception of a few would-be-deinagoguea, raging with disordered intellects, are decidedly opposed to the outrageous proceedings of the kite despicable mob of Macon. Yours, truly, INDEPENDENCE. Atlanta, Sept., 3, 1850. Dear Doctor :—I am truly thankful that you have thus far escaped, with whole bones, the terrible consequences with which you were threatened on account of a single unguard ed expression contained in my letter of the 21st ultimo, which you published. Having already explained fully, and, I trust, satisfactorily the true meaning of that letter, I shall not enlarge upon it here. I repeat, that I am grateful that you are still “alive and kicking; ” and, 1 trust, that you will long be spared—a Beacon to divert your countrymen from the shoals and quick-sands of disunion! The excitement which threatened to overwhelm you, fiz zed out before it reached this place. It is true, that old Po ney Club Jones, and a few others who returned to this city on Saturday, on their way to their homes, after participating in the disgraceful outrage upon you, endeavored to excite the community against me; but it was “no go.” I happened to be a leetle better known here than they were! Urgent public business called me to Washington, Wilkes county, on Tuesday, and on my return on Thursday morning, I learned that a meeting had been held, at which a resolution was a dopted condemnatory of the letter which had caused the muss. I also learned that some amiable frieud, taking ad vantage of my temporary absence, had circulated a report that I had runaway. I immediately inquired into the partic ulars respecting the meeting, and ascertained that, instead of iu being “a meeting of the citizens of Atlanta,” (as was falsely stated in tho last number of the “Intelligencer,” over the signatures of Pendleton Cheek, as Chairman, and F. H. West , as Secretary,) the resolution was adopted by some half-dozen Fag-cnders at an adjourned meeting of the “Southern Rights Association”—no notice even, setting forth the object of the meeting, having been previously cir culated ! As to the report, that I had vamoosed, no one seemed disposed to father it, and I am constrained to attrib ute it to the ill-will of that contemptible puppy, Nobody, who has heretofore rendered himself somewhat notorious by the perpetration of similar fabrications. Nothing of interest, apart from the general feeling sequent to the excitement in your city, has transpired hero since my last. lam gratified lo learn that a list of some eight or ten new subscribers was forwarded to you from this place a few days since. Many others will be added anon. Thus you will perceive that you are not without sympathy and friends even in Atlanta. The freight train on the Shite road ran off on Saturday last, in the neighborhood of the Tunnel, which delayed the down passenger train until late in the evening—causing the loss of the mail, and breaking one or two Georgia Railroad cars. A similar accident occurred yesterday morning to the freight train on the same road. They upset a loaded car a few steps from tho depot, aed damaged it somewhat. The weather for two or thre days past has been quite cool, particularly in the morning and at night. The storm of last Friday week was very general throughout this section of the State, and has done considerable injury to the growing crops. Yours truly, GABRIEL. 11 1 &5© m $ IM. < ®,I SlSlis LETTER from COLI.HBIS. 1 Columbus, Aug., 28, 1850. Dear Andrews :—Yours of the 24th is now before me. Iu my opinion, and that of all whom I have heard speak, you have but one course to take, and that is publish , or die in the attempt. I know you to be no abolitionist from having been a constant reader of your sheet for near six years.—lt is mere pretext. If the Disunionists drive you from the State, soon there will not be a press left in it to tell the tale. I say, “bo just and fear not.” Publish your paper and leave the consequences to God.” Bold, decided action, is what your case now requires.—lt is the only and sovereign reme dy. No timid counsels, whether gay or grave, should be lis tened to for a moment; therefore stand square up, act out your part on this stage of life like a man , and you must pre vail, and will pe supported by the brave, generous hearted people throughout the land. One main object of the party attacking you, is to furnish food to excite their deluded followers, because without that, their disuniou projects flag and fail. Publish, and resort to the law too if you like, but a suit, without a continuation of your publication would be merely farcical. Again, the defendants, when judgment would be obtained, would be insolvent. Therefore, publish, and de fend yourself like a man and there can be no danger. Your adrsrsaries areas subject to pain in their flesh as you are. Life to them is as sweet as it possibly can be to you.—Then why fear ? This I have read to two or three, who approve it, and the cry is publish. The same sort of demoniacal feel ing exists here among the disunionists towards the Enquirer. It was deemed advisable to commence upon you, as the slen derest reed, the most feeble subject, and if success crowned the effort, why the next step would sweep away all opposi tion. There is not the first man save disunionists here, but says publish. If the Citizen reaches here Saturday next, there will be a loud huzza by all the friends of liberty of speech and freedom of tho press. Yours truly, AMICUS. Extract of a Letter, dated Columbus, August 30, 1850. Dear Sir : —I read your manifesto and really sympathise with you. I see you have determined on issuing your sheet. That is right, just what you should have done, and it is my opinion that they will not dare to carry their throats into ex ecution. If they should, God grant that you may prove too strong for them (as I believe you will) and that they may get their just deserts. The action of the Jones’ mob has created more feeling here for you than the community ever expressed before. Fear not, you are right. “Truth is mighty and will prevail.” The designs of Jones and Rhett and others are clearly re bellious, and the people will not allow a pitiful minority to rule the country. Some of them will yet meet the traitor’s doom. Mark what I predict. If Towns calls a convention, there will be an overwhelming majority in favor of law and order, and he and his co-workers will be essentially (politically) damned. There won’t be a grease-spot left of the South Carolina Black Bat party. I have travelled about a good deal recently, and you may rest assured when you count noses, the disorganizes have no party and that nearly all the people are friends of tho Union. In haste, Yours, &c. XXX. LETTER from COLUMBUS. Columbus, Sept., 3d, 1850. To the Editor of the Georgia Citizen : —I herewith enclose (S2O) with the names of subscribers to whom you will send the “Citizen” for the balance of this year. I wish I could send five times as many, as a tribute of our aprobation of tbe fearless and independent course in which you have conducted your paper, and more particularly since the shameful attempt to gag you down. I thing it a stain on the character of the free men of the State of Georgia, and wonder that the Press does not come out generally and powerfully to repudiate and put dow these base attempts at “gagging the Press.” Well may every true lover of Liberty, liberty of thought, of speech and of the Press, be alarmed. I think it high time to speak out, for who shall tell the next victim to this Mobocracy? It be comes every good citizen, every reflecting man, to begin to look around, and may I not say, prepare to defend themselves and their Liberties; for when Law and order are set aside, and when individual rights and privilege* which are guar anteed by the Constitution and tho Laws, are disregarded, let every man that inherits a spark of the spirit that animated the breasts of those that signed the Declaration of Independence, and that faught for the hearthstone of the fatherless, be rea dy to repel oppression and tyranny, at the point of the bay onet. Ido not write as an individual, only, but speak the sen taments of all in whom the true spirit of our Revolutionary fathers dwells. I subscribe myself yours truly, J. M. T. LETTER from CiIRARI), Ala. , Girard, Ala., August 28, 1850. Dear Doctor : —I last night read your circular in the pres ence of six of the most respectable citizens of Girard, and all coincide with me in the opinion that you are right, and wc are all your men, so go ahead. If such sentiments as have passed from the lips of John Gill Shorter are passed unnoticed by Southern men- -and because your correspon dent has set forth his opinion, in regard to a public nuisance in a neighboring city, a public meeting must bo called, resolu tions passed to endanger your life, disgrace your family, and ruin your business, the chief support of your family, and es pecially by such men as the “Roney Jones,” why then lam satisfied that the dissolution of this Union is irretrievable, from the fact that such men and such meetings were gov erned by wrong enthusiastic prejudices. Continue your pa per; most that I have seen here will subscribe to it. Yours cheerfully, J. O. 11. For the Georgia Citizen. To the Citizens of Bibb County, Georgia, M ho favor the Secession. Fellow Citizens :—You are in favor of seceding from the Union of States on a certain condition. What is that condition. Slavery must exist iu the newly acquired Terri tories as far North as 36 30. This will satisfy you, but if that line is not established as the boundary of slavery, you will se cede from tho Union. This is a correct statemont of your principles and views, provided I understand them. I am of opinion that this line ought to be the boundary of Slavery, bat if we fail to get that line established by an aot of Congress, wc should not on that account secede from the Union. It is oontended by the seceding party, that the Free Soilers are trying to curtail our privileges, and take away our rights so far as regards slave property. This may be so, but even that will not justify us in the act of Secession. Let me tell you the reason why. In the first place, our right to secede is questionable. lam aware that Randolph of Roanoke, has labored to prove the right of secession. But on examining his Epistle, I find that he has utterly failed to make out any proof at all. Let me ask a question. Has a Territory, after formings Constitution for herself, a right to become a mem ber of the Union without tho consent of the States already forming tho Union. Answer No. Neither can a State dis member the Union by seceding without the consent of the other States composing the Union. This is a self evident truth, and the denial of it can never make it false. But grant ing that a State has a right to secede, I should still be oppos ed to secession. But, says one, “why would you be opposed to secession after granting the right to secede.” Answer, I would oppose secession because it would bring down ruin on us, and our posterity. When a Territory becomes a mem ber of the Union, it is by an act of Congress, thereby making the Territory a member of the Union of States. When a State secedes from the Union, she violates a law of Congress, passed under the Constitution, and thereby becomes a trans gressor. In that case, it would be tho duty of the Executive to see that the laws bo faithfully executed. This state of things would bring tho seceding party into collision with the General Government; and notwithstanding all that Roanoke has said to the contrary, be it remembered that Disunion by force of arms is Treason. Those who preach up peaceable secession are false teachers in Israel. Let secession take place, and civ il war will be the certain consequence ; and what will be the consequence of civil war. In the first place we should have to shed the bloed of our countrymen without just cause, which would constitute the crime of murder. Another con sequence would be the certain loss of our slave property.— Another consequence would be a national debt from three hundred millions to five hundred millions of dollars. But says aqother, there would be no danger of losing our slavey . r,+ f v because Britain wants our Qotton which our negroes tend and pick:ODt and pack. Rather than go without our cotton, she would send over her fleet* and armies, and assist us in drub bing {he fpeesoilsrs. This'is Tory doubtful, friend. But sup posing this to be the case what then ? would not Britain want and expect pay for such important service f On our refusing to make payment she would attempt to take it by force. If we should prove obstinate, she would call on the free soilers to assist in giving u a drubbing, and after being hackled by Britain and the free soilers, we should be in a bad condition to make cotton enough to pay out fighting expenses. About that time, Britain'would look back to the days of the Revolu tion, and remember the four hundred and forty millions of dollars which she spent in trying to conquer our fathers.— This amount and the interest for Seventy years, added to the expenses of Civil war, would make a heavy load for us to carry on our crippled shoulders. May our all wise and gracious God deliver my fellow citizens from all notions of Disunion. With kind respect, I am your’s, A PATRON.

Whereat, The non-slaveholding States have for a series of years, perseveringly interfered most wrongfully with the in stitution of slavery at the South, by such aggressive meas ures of intolerance to render it no longer a question of doubt that the Federal Legislature will soon adopt such restrictive measures against the institution of slavery, as to trammel, fetter and confine it within certain geographical limits, never contemplated by the original parties to the constitutional com pact : And, whereas, Georgia, in her sovereign capacity as a State, has delegated no other power to the Federal Govern ment than those found in the Constitution of the U States, and believing that her best interests, and her honor as a sov ereign and independent government require that she should meet all encroachments in a calm and manly spirit of resist ance .- Sxc. 1.

Suoh abuse of tho venerable Statesman of tho West, wo never before heard from the lips of man. Rhett also abused him and so did Maj.

Now that the storm has blown over and men engaged in unlawful acts of violence and oppression have had time to calculate the cost of their rash work, upon all that we hold dear, to wit: our good name at home and fair character a broad—our prospects of business and personal feelings of self and family, what ought honorablo and right-thinking men to Jo, to place us where they found us and restore to us that which they have unrighteously taken from us ? It is well known, that the business and influence of every Southern Editor depends, vitally and essentially, upon his reputation for soundness upon the question of Southern Institutions. Any suspicions breathed against his good name in this particular, are necessarily fatal to his calling. Like the virtue of chasti ty to a woman, so is the acknowledged virtue of allegiance to Southern Institutions, the brighest Jewel in the Crown of a Southern Editor. “Like Ca-sar's wife, he must not only be chaste, but unsuspected.’’ In view, then, of the fact that the proceedings of the meet ing of the 23d ult have gone forth to the world, under the sanction of respectable names, most of whom have since re pudiated its notion; and in view of the additional fact that the press of Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and of the Union, have hastened and are yet hastening to immolate our reputa tion, in this regard, by publishing those proceedings, we put it to the honor and justice of those persons, whether they do not owe it to themselves as well as to us, to take some steps to send the antidote as far as the poison has been diffused ! Magnanimous men, when convinced of error, do not gener ally delay doing justice to those they have injured. It re mains to be seen whether sueh a noble virtue as magnanimity will in the present instance “have free course, run and be glo rified,” or the contrary. Errors Corrected. Though smarting under a sense of aggravated wrong and outrage, we are not so insensible to the claims of truth and justice upon us, as to refuse the correction of any errors we may have committed, in our late notices of the acts and do ings of the mob assemblage of the23dinst. Under circum stances like unto those with which we have been surrounded, it is liardly possible that the true state of affairs can bo dis cernei and stated, in every particular, anl therefore it is, that we now proceed to correct one or two errors of fact, which we have inadvertently made, in our extra aud issue of Friday last. Since that we have been assured that our statement to the effect that Mr. James Dean was tho owner of the building in Atlanta spoken of by “Gabriel,” and that he was therefore governed by interest inhis participation in the inob meeting of the 23d instant, is not true. Mr. D. declares positively that he does not own any property in Atlanta, and never did, and that he has nothing to do wliatever with the building spo ken of. lie also repudiates all disposition favorable to mob violence, and washes his hands of the whole affair. We also understand that the alteration in the resolution, ! which we stated was done by Doctor Green, on his own rcs j ponsibility, was done by him in committee , and was passe*] j by the meeting, as published, although some of the commit tee were not aware of the fact. We have also to revoke what we said, in our last issue, n boutW. G. Hogue and 11. W. Lindsay. We had under stood from several quarters that these persons had been heard violently expressing themselves against us, in the streets, and stirring up the existing excitement to fever heat. We there fore included them in the denunciations issued against the whole band of Conspirators. Several friends, however, on whose veracity we strictly rely, have since assured us that Mr. llogue, though present at the meeting, took no part therein, and left in disgust at the outrage permitted to be put on the citizens, by Sain Ray inviting Jack Jones to address them, and his compliance with the invitation. Mr. 11. was about to make a motion to stop .Tones, but Ins friends pre vented his so doing, when he loft the meetiug and has taken no part, since, in the matter, except the simple expression of opinion. We therefore fully aud cheerfully exhonerate him from the imputation of being relied on. to do “dirty work” for any body. Mr. Lindsay is also excused from a participation in the meeting of the 23d ult, as lie was sick at homo at tho time, and knew nothing of it, till afterward?. We do not, however, exonse him from letting off since, a good deal of un necessary gasconade about us, which we hope lie will bo wise enough for the future, to forego. Mr. Stiles —This gentleman spoke eloquently in behalf of the “Stars and Stripes” of this glorious Union and of tho protection which its folds gave to an American (himself) in a despotic land, in the midst of the battle's strife and carnage. All appeal like this, so well calculated to stir every patriotic impulse of the heart, was not favorably received by some present at the late mass meeting. When Mr. S. was speak ing on this subject, and by way of dissent from the views of Mr. Rhett, there was heard from one of the sovereigns the startling cry of Disunion, which was immediately taken up by others and echoed with vociferation, waving of hats, Ac! i Mr. Stiles was evidently taken all aback, but immediately re covered himself and declared that if sueh was the sentiment of Georgia, he was bound to go with her, sink or swim, live or perish. One Dr. Daniels of Chatham county, was the person whose croaking “Disunion*’ voice so marred the even tenor of Mr. Stiles’ speech. We give his name that he may have all the honor of so great an achievement. All of the 36, 30 Men not Disunionists. It is exceedingly gratifying to find that many of those who have been ardent politicians of the 36-30 school, have got j their eyes open since the Mass Meeting in this city, to the dangers into which they were about to plunge. The chief speakers on that occasion, Rhett, Yancey, Jones, Colquitt , and others, were open disunionists. In fact, with but one or two exceptions, Mr. Stiles and Col. Tift, the whole of the or ators were avowedly for Rhctt’s plan of “temporary secession” or something worse. And the sober men of tho party could not help seeing and hearing all this, and it caused many to waver and finally to back out from the Association. One distinguished gentleman of Baldwin came here a 36, 30 man. but re.urned home determined to take the field against the election of disunionists to the convention which may be called. In the last Telegraph we also find the card of one of the Secretaries of the Mass meeting, distinctly repudiating the disunion schemes avowed on that occasion. His card, which we subjoin, is not only proof positive of the fact that disunion was the theme preached, but it is a manly expres sion of the gentleman’s devotion to the Union, which does honor to his head aud to his heart:— Macon, August 28, 1850. Messrs. Rat A Ross, Gentlemen : As my name has gone forth to tho country as one of the Secretaries to the Mass meeting that convened in this place on the 22nd inst., for the purpose (as expressed in the proceedings of the convention), of adjusting those causes which now distract our federal rela tions upon the basis of the Missouri compromise line, and as Ido not endorse the disunion sentiments expressed in that meeting, I humbly ask the privilege of placing my disappro val before yonr readers. When I consented to act as secre tary for the convention, I little dreamed that a disunion of our Government was the purpose, for which it was convened, but the sentiments of the orators and the deafening cry of a portion of the audience for disunion and secession opened my eyes, and 16aw plainly the sole aim of tho speakers, was to excite the people of Georgia to dismember this glorious con federacy.* I cannot, and pray I never shall endorse sueh sen timents as these. lam and have been in favor of the Mis souri compromise line as a means of restoring peace and qui et to our distracted country, but, if that leads me to disunion and revolution, or to Mr Rhett's suicidal plan of “temporary secession”—Then, sirs, I am no longer for 36, 30. This may subject me to tho calumny of some and the rid icule of others, of this I care but little, for so long as the Stars and Stripes (those emblems of our Nation's glory) float from the masthead of our Old Ship of State, so long will I rally under their folds, and lend my feeble aid to the mainte nance and support of the Union of our Fathers. Yours, &o. TIIOS. HARDEMAN, Jr. Foresworn. —The people of Macon aro requested to note those men holding official stations in our city and county government, who have taken part in the mob law proceedings against us. If we mistake not, when each of these men en tered upon tho duties of his station he swore to support the Constitution and Laws of the State, Ac. If so, is not every man of them indiotable for perjury ? In addition, several of these persons have sworn allegiance to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. They have vowed to conform to the rules of the Church aud to the laws of a peaceful Gospel. Have they done it? Have they not been guilty of moral perjury against their own souls and conscien ces ? We do not pause for any answer. Let the answer made to thattribunal which is set up by high authority, in st ory man's bosom ! Fairness and Unfairness of the Public Press. We subjoin some extracts from our “Exchangee” to show how our cotemporaries of the Georgia and Alabama Press look upon the Mob Daw violence directed against the “Geor gia Citizen” : The Rome, Ga., Bulletin, thus denounces mob Violence f “ Wc cannot too Btrongly express our disapproval of this exhibition of mob law in one of the cities in oor State. That any set of men have the right to peremptorily order the col umns of a press to close, and the publisher to leave his busi ness and his home, is a doctrine too dangerous to be tolerated. So far as the sentiments of Mr. Andrews 00 the slavery question is concerned, there ie not a man in the whole South more sound. Indeed, his paper has always been one of the ablest defenders of Southern Institutions, and bitterest oppo sers of any thing like abolitionism. That the offensive paragraph alluded to is highly objection able, is all true, but Mr. Andrews fully and satisfactorily ex plains that matter. If the police and civil authorities suffer the threat of the meeting to be carried out by the use of force toward the per son of the editor of tho “Citizen,” it will be a lasting stigma and disgrace. The Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel prononnees the affair “a most high handed outrage upon the rights of a citizen, and the freedom of the press.” The Casß> ille Standard quotes largely fro* oar extra, and expresses its views, in the following manner: “The Freedom of the Press Hentd.’ f “From an extra of the Georgia Citizen we have the start ling intelligence that a committee of fifteen citizens of Ma con, backed by a mob, liad waited upon the Editor of that pa per, and demanded of him the name of his correspondent from Atlanta, and also threatened that if he issued a aether number of his paper he would be driven from the city. l*r must say that such a lawless, unconstitutional outrage as tounded us, although wc were prepared to hear of some evil growing out of the Mass meeting at Macon. We had nev er expected to live to sco the day when the freedom of the Press, a right guranteed to all our citizens by the eon.mntioa should he denied a free man of the United States; but suck is the fact and that simply because one of the correspondent* of the Citizen (Gabriel) expressed his opposition to the haiid ing of a slave depot in Atlanta. Wo know this is r.ot th real cause, and it is only seized upon as the prstrncs to dan troy this Press beesuse its Editor is a friend to the Union.— The friends of constitutional liberty and iff the Union, should see in this movement an attempt to force all who advocate tho Union to the will of the Scceders. We call upon all lov ers of order and law to frown indignantly upon this most out rageous act. We have no idea that the citizens of Msouu will permit Dr. Andrew* to be disturbed, or that he will be forced for one moment to stop liis Press. We say to him go on, and issue your }a;>cr in the regular time. There are too many friends of tho Union in Georgia to permit dieuniouieto thus to carry out their high handed measures. ” The Atlanta Intelligencer, in giving an account of the mat ter, seems to exult amazingly in the probability of our Wis£ subjected to Lynch Law, had it not been for the timely inter ferenee of Dr. Collins in our behalf. The Editor slso says that the reason why we were not so Lynched, was our ‘'prom ise to discontinue our paper, and leave tho city withia days,” on receiving which promise the “crowd consented to disperse.” All this, it is quite unnecessary for us to wiy, wau manufactured by W. B. Ruggles, a newly imported Yan kee Editor from Yankee Lund, he not yet bring a naturalis ed voter of Georgia! There ia no truth in his statement.— We made uo promises whatever, as to discontinuing ouT pa per, nor any promise even to consider of sueh a proporikos. Mr. Ruggles must therefore look elsewhere for the shnues fce divert public attention from his own position. lit will not W j allowed with impunity, to join in the “mad dog” cry agaias* us, to cover up lii* own weakness, which hia failure ts de nounce mob laic shows, so conclusively. We have aoeor dingly hooked him as on® that will require aoina watching for the future. The “Jeffersonian” of Griffin, comes out fully in favor of mob law, and prates about the difference between \bo freedom of the Tress and its licentiousness. The Editor also takes pleasure iu the thought, that we were about t<* afford him some specimens of “tall walking,*’ shortly, from this latitude. In his paper we likewise find the official proceedings of tho mob meeting in this city. He is therefore fully committed on the side of moboeruey. We thereforo ask who is this indi vidual who thus endorses outrage and gloats over its probable 1 It is Maj. Win. Cline, the man who has been noted, for years, as the most subservient party hack in all tbe country. A man vv 110 is notorious for editorial obscenities of the most unblushing character, and who would be classed ss one of the “ stoop to conquer’’ partizans, if the rouehant posi tion was notan abiding attitude with him. So little of trns manly independence lias this Cline, that at tho late Mass meeting in this city, he had not the spunk to keep a seat that he had climbed or crawled to,at tlic feet of his “Temporary Se cession*’ Majesty, Mr. Rhett, but suffered hiinself to be ign#- ; miniously kicked off the stage by his Brother Rsy of the Tel egraph, as uuworthy a place along side the Editors of the Federal Union, Savannah Georgian, Albany Patriot. Macon Telegraph, Ac., and actually left the meeting in disgust and for home by the extra train of the same evening, without hav ing heard a single speech on the occasion! And to add to the climax of his servility, his next paper came out as usual, in laudation of the Mass meeting and its objects ! Commewt is superfluous. The Editor of the Montgomery Flag and Advertiser, him self one of the “chivalry” heads his notice of the Mob meet ing with the caption, “The good work commenced,” aud says that the citizens of Macon were “fully justified in their course.” The redoubtable Colonel therefore esteems it a good work for all the Union Presses of tbe South to be mobb ed, for the truth is here confessed, on all hands, that ‘‘aboli tion or free soil Sentiments” had nothing to do with the mat ter, only as a pretext. The mob scheme had been concoct ed before tho publication of the paper to which exception has been taken. The Advertiser and Gazette, lias also to learn,, ; that of the citizens of Mac-on engaged in that work, not mors than a dozen can now be found who have not backed out from all affiliation with its aims and objects. Besides this, all ac tively engaged in mob violence are 36 30 Disuuioiiisu, with out a single exception. ’Tis the work then of its own party which the Advertiser .Mid Gazette approves, a work which nineteen twentieths of the people of Macon have repudiated. Another on the list of the supporters of mob law is the “Re public” of Augusta, which paper published the proceedings of the Mob meeting, and an extract from the Savannah News, in justification of the same. Os course, we could not expert any thing better from a print so unscrupulous as the “Repab lic*’ has been for a year past. And yet another is the Savannah “News,’ a little weather cock sheet of Savannah, that has been blowing “hot and cold” on the subject of politics, until it has become as good an in dex of the passing breeze that fans the brow of the Editor, as any one cares to liave. This neutral by profession, but ra bid disorganizer since Savannah pronounced for “36 30 or fight,” affects to think that our extra is “scarcely less offen sive” than the articles complained of. If its opinion on any subject were of any consequence, we should tremble, lest, on finding that the popular breeze of public opinion was with us and against mob law, it should turn round, next week, and say something in our favor. If is should do so, we pray its publisher and Editor will carefully withhold our copy from us as has twice been the case heretofore when it spoke ill of us! The “Southerner” of Rome, Ga., next claims a passing *O - It says : “ Among the signs of the times, me may mention that paper called the “ Georgia Citiaen ,” edited, we believe, by a man of Northern feelings, principles and practices, has been Stopped iD its insidious course, by a direct interposition of eoms of the citizens of Macon, Ac.” One Fouche is the principal Editoj of the Southerner.
