ful since she last saw it. Was it because he
was so animated with hope and vigor ? He
turned his face full upon her and she beheld—
O God! she beheld the low brow—deep set,
malicious eye, and dark cheek of Alonzo the
Moor, One glance sufficed her; she shrieked
and fell senseless from her horse.
A low, malicious, almost fiendish laugh burst
from the Moor’s lips, and startled the birds in
the branches of the forest trees. ‘lt is glorious!’
Ire cried as he jumped to the ground and
rubbed his hands, ‘the bird flutters, but bv
Jove she is fairly caught, and that in her
own net too.’ Who would have thought it !
r rhanks to that quick -eyed light fingered sister
of mine,’ and as he fiuisbed, he lent over to raise
her head. His touch seemed to arouse her,
she shrunk from it as she would from the folds
of a serpent. ‘Touch me again, she cried, ‘at
your peril!’ and she started to her feet.
‘Spirited,’ he cried half derisively. ‘I always
knew it, and by Jove such airs make your pret
*ty face prettier still. Come, be quiet my pretty
bird!’ hesaid halfsoothiugly, and attempt
ing to lay bis band on her arm, ‘there is no use
in fluttering now. You are fairly caught. Why
did you not plan more shrewdly ?’
•Touch me at your peril!’ shrieked the Span
ish girl, and her fragile form became stately and
dignified, ‘touch me, Alonzo, at your peril.’
‘ Ha! ha ! what kind of weapons do you car
ry my pretty child that are so terrible and dan
gerous? One would think you had armed
yourself with all the instruments of torture,
known in the Spanish Inquisition. I see none.
Pray where do you carry them V
‘God is my avenger, the Holy Mother of
Jesus is my protector,’ murmured the girl as
she clasped her hands upon her bosom, and
puttk upon her knees. ’0 Father ! defend the in
nocent !’
‘God defends those who j-ut their trust in
him,’ said a voice at her elbow : she looked
hastily up and saw an old man, with snowy
beard, and weather beaten countenance stand
ing beside her. His clothes were coarse, but
his form was stately, and his countenance beam
ed with benevolence and religion. ‘Who are
you V said the Moor with a sneer upon his lip,
as his eye measured the figure before him.
‘Who are you, and. what business have you
crossing my path ?’
‘I am one who shall arrest you in your ca
reer of wickedness,’said the old man coolly and
calmly—‘l am the oldest Dominican Friar in
this place —ay, I had almost said in Spain.
One word from me will consign you where no
ray of sunlight ever comes. I give you fair
warning—beware bow you treat the Friar Don’
Guyman.’
‘Don Guyman V murmured the Moor‘Don
Guyman, the most powerful of all the inquisi
tors. Am I in his presence. I yield to him
my prize : I dare not tamper with so powerful
and holy a Father,’ and Alonzo sprung again
to his horse, and dashed away into the deep
shadow's of the woods.
The old Friar listened, until the last echo of
his horse’s hoofs had ceased to reverberate, he
then reached out his hand kindly, and lilted
Madalinefrom her kneeling position. ‘My daugh
ter’ he said mildly ‘did I not say right ? does
not God defend the innocent.’ ‘He does,’ mur
mured Madaline cllasping her hands upon her
breast, and raising her eyes towards heaven, ‘in
Him henceforth I put my trust. But where am
to go now ? what is to become of me ?’
‘With whom would you be ?’ said the old
Friar.’ ‘What service can I render you. Have
you a father’s house to which I may restore
you ?’
0! not to him if you love me, or would de
fend me,’ said the Spanish girl, ‘He is the tool
of the Moor who has just left us, and to him I
should be again consigned. There is but one,
to whom I would fly and be is far away. ‘Name
him,’ said the Friar.
‘To Ponce De Leon.’
‘But he is on the brink of sailing to the new
world,’ said the Friar. ‘What would you do
among those savage tribes —you frail creature
* of luxury and ease, you cannot surely wish to
fly to him!’
‘I do,’ murmured Madaline —‘lie only hence
forth would I have for guardian and guide —
lover and protector. Those savage hordes I
would teach first principles of our holy religion.
I would establish the cross amid the darkness
of their idolatry. Holy father, let me go!’
‘God works sometimes by feeble means,’ said
the Friar, as if talking to himself. ‘A woman’s
influence among rough colunists and savage
hordes may be no light thing. Kneel daugh
ter and swear to me, that if I will aid you ii>
this emergency that you will devote the best,
freshest, yea all the years of your life to the
furtherance of our holy religion in the land
whither you go, and that you will transmit to
roe, from time to time accounts of your success
in this important mission. If you are faithful
to your work, the Church shall shield you well
beneath the shadow of its altars. Swear.’
‘ I do,’ said Madaline; ‘I promise Holy Fath
er to do all in my power, towards promoting
the interests of the holy Catholic faith in the
new world. May God bless so feeble an instru
ment !’
Don Guyman was true to his word. In two
days after Madaline left the banks of the Gua
dalquiver, she slept in the bosom of De Leon,
bis-much loved and devoted w ife.

Georgia Statistics.
We are indebted to a friend for the following-
Statistics of the State of Georgia, derived from
the United States Census, just completed :
ropi lation’.
Whites, 526,417.
Blacks, 382,294.
908,711.
Value of real and Personal Es
tate, 8334,G60 217.
Amount State Tax, 328,247 18.
“ County do. 170,803 35.
8499,050 53.
Number of deaths for the rear
preceding Ist June, 1850, 9,919.
This is a very satisfactory showing in regard
to population, property aud health.
Irora this statement we derive an argument
in favor of a change of the present system of
taxation. It is now grossly unjust, and unequal,
and bears with oppressive weight upon a small
and meritorious class of the citizens of Georgia.
The merchants of cities and towns, owning prop
erty therein, bear the chief burthens of the
State and their respective counties. The
wealthy resident of the country, residing in his
lordly mansion, and surrounded by every luxu
ry, contributes, with the exception of the tax on
slaves, almost nothing for the support of the
government which protects him and his prop
erty. llis fine land bears but a shade more of
taxation than the most worthless pine-barren.
On either kind the tax is almost nominal.
But let us suppose the just and republican
system of an equal ad valorem tax be adopted, by
wbieb each citizen paid strictly according to the
amount of property, whether real or personal,
possessed by him and enjoying the protection of
the State.
The State tax amounts to, $328,247 18.
We will suppose this is the amount required
each year.
The real and personal Estate in ,
Georgia is, supposing the
Census accurate, $334,6G0,217 00
A tax of one-tenth of one per
cent, on this will yield, $334,660 02.
This is six thousand debars more than by the
nt system.
If this tax were imposed it would relieve a
Valuable class of citizens who are grievously op
pressed by unjust taxation. It would add ma
terially to the prosperity, wealth and population
of our cities and towns, give an impulse in them
to every species ot diversified industry,skill and
enterprise, which go to make a country prosper
ous and independent, while it would be oppres
sive upor. none. Government, at least State
Government, might then iudeed be felt only in
its blessings. It might approximate to a reali
zation of the poetical idea of its influence being
like the gentle dews of Heaven, “falling upon
and blessing all.”
From the Boston Post , June Ot
Correspondence,
We publish, below, a portion of a recent correspon
dence between J. S. Hastings, Esq., of Boston, and
Dr. ivobt. Collins, of Maoon, Ga., w ho is the owner of
the fugitive, Ellen Grafts. The letter of Mr. Hastings,
of March the 22d, which commenced tlse correspon
dence is not given, becaueo iu general tenor can be in
ferred from those which follow. These are forwarded
to us for publication by a third party :
Macon, Ga., April Bth , 1851.
J. S. Hustings : —Dear Sir—Your letter of the22d
was received and its contents have been duly consider
ed. Your inquire of me what sunt I would have taken
for the fugitive slaves, William ami Ellen, if I had
known, that they would be restored to me, iu preference
to recovering theta ;. and, further, whether or not 1
am willing to take that sum at present, “provided the
money can be raised by public subscription in Boston.”
Your inquiries and suggestions were fairly made and
candidly stated. My reply to them will be equally
free and frank. The inquiries which you make were
made by others of your city while the fugitives were
there, and while my agent, W. 11. Hughes, was there
to recover them. I did not then, nor do I now, think
proper to receive any sum of money for the purchase of
rnv servants from any citizen or citizens of Boston. If
I had originally intended only to recover the value of
these servants, or if my present desire was only to ob
tain indemnity for their loss, your implied proposition
might be entertained. But the object which I have
had in view, and which will appear from all that I have
written to legal counsel, private individuals and official
persons in Boston and Washington city, precludes any
such arrangement. That object has been to test the
public sense of the Boston people iu regard to the fugi
tive slave law, and to learn, if possible, first, whether a
fugitive slave could be arrested in your city by tin* prop
er officers, —and second, whether after arrest and the
cause being iu court, the judiciary would give judgment
thereupon according to the law aud the testimony : in
other words, whether the judiciary and citizens of Bos
ton would sustain the fugitive slave law in its integrity.
My impression was that the law could be, and would be,
faithfully executed according to its letter and spirit,in that
city, and in the above ease. It is not material to discuss
how far the citizens and officers of court did perform
their duty, since the public judgment has been given
from Texas to Maine. Again, sir, I have h:ul no par
ticular desire in securing the persons and services of the
fugitives, beyond that which is common among free
soilers of the north, in regard to a well tried and faith
ful servant. Ellen has been, from her youth,
the most trusted and the most faithful of my
house servants ; and, in consequence, my fami
ly were much attached to her. My object has been,
uot so much to enslave her again, as byrecovering her
to deter others from following her example. lam not
more opposed to her freedom than those who would
buy her liberty. lam less oppos ‘d than those who pur
chased it at the price of violated law. I prefer, as far
as practicable, to exercise my own discretion in regard
to bettering the condition of my slaves. As to Wil
liam, no charge of his having committed a crime has
been preferred by me in anv court, but he is amenable
to tlie laws of Georgia for abducting tire slave Ellen.
Does it not appear obvious to you sir, that every
southern slaveholder has a deep interest at Etake, both
in the recapture, and recovery by law, of his fugitive
slave ? Every slave who gains his freedom by flight
from the south, and by protection from the north, pre
sents his fellow slaves the temptation to follow in his
footsteps and find the same freedom. And here I must
express my dissent with your opinion as to the best
policy to be pursued by “every good man” of the south
whose slaves escapes to the north. You say that “it
would be better to receive the true value of the slave,
or indemnity for his loss, in preference to reclamation or
roeovery by law the slave’s person.” If we of the south
considered slavery “ a moral, social, .and political evil,”
it would be easy for us to lessen the number of our
slaves, by a system of gradual emancipation which would
comport more with our own interest, and humanity to
them, than the policy you propose. But we are sat
isfied that there is no system of servitude, on the globe,
attended with less evil to master and servant, and to
society, than that of slavery in the southern States. We
also believe that the free negroes of the south, are in a
far more desirable condition than the free negroes—
and fugitive slaves, at the north. We also believe that
it is our privilege and right to determiue when and
how—and who of our slaves ought to be made tree
men.
Your policy would free those who are unfit to be free;
it would render dis contended the slaves they left be
hind ; it would organise companies of free slaves to
conspire for the freedom of others ; it would encourage
abolition societies, free soil parties and associations for
the protection aud defence of fugitives. It would ren
der the institution of slavery among us less stable and
less benificent. The manner of freeing slaves at the
south is better for the owner and better for the slave
himself. For the owner, who by giving liberty to a
faith fa! servant, encourages others to the same obe
dience and the same boon. For the slave,'by keeping
him here among his friends and relatives instead of cast
ing him upon the tender mercies of strangers and fa
natics. A good slave can acquire his freedom without
becoming a fugitive, and a firebrand among freesoilers.
It appears to me, therefore, that it is the policy of the
slaveholders not to accept a pecuniary equivalent for his
fugitive slave from citizens of the north in the manner
proposed ; that is not proper or judicious for me,
the first public claimant of a fugitive slave before the
people of Massachusetts, to receive indemnity, for his or
her loss, from a community who prevented a recovery
bylaw. From the honest \aw abiding citizens of Bos
ton, I can accept no indemnity by subscription, since
they have done me no wrong. From those whose
“consciences are higher than the IT. S. constitution,”
and who violated law in preventing the slave’s arrest, 1
look for indemnity to the Boston courts of justice.
These men have drawn odium on your city, injured
your commerce and insulted your people. They should
pay the penalty ! Beyond all this, the south waits to
see whether the north “will deliver up on demand”
those fugitives who were “held to service” here;
waits with solicitude to learn whether the constitution
and laws of Congress will be recognised as “ the su
preme law of the land waits with anxiety to know
whether the social, civil, and religious bonds of union
between the north and the south are to be as “hooks of
steel,” or “ropes of sand waits with intent interest
to know whether a southern man, before a judicial tri
bunal of the north, to reclaim his slave property, is con
sidered “a dogged Jew’’ refusing “ducats” to demand
his “pound of flesh,” or to be esteemed as Philemon,
and to have his fugitive, Onesimus, restored. I re
main, sir, yours truly,
Rout. Collins.
Boston, May 9, 1851.
Dr. Robt. Collin* , Macon , Ga. : —Dear Sir—Your
favor of the Bth April caine duly to hand. Although
its tenor precludes any further action with referenoe to
the purchase of the fugitives, Crafts, I am unwilling to
close our correspondence without a few remarks, chiefly
to set forth more fully what I intended, in my former
letter.
My remark then, that “every good man in demand
ing his property should fix a value in money that he will
receive instead of the person,” referred, at the time,
exclusively to fugitives prior to the law of 1850; and
mainly to such cases as are represented in my letter.
To such as may escape hereafter, there would be no
such sympathy excited, and but little reluctance in en
forcing their return.
But between the past and the future, I deem it of vi
tal importance that a distinction should be drawn, if we
are ever to have a kindly feeling restored between the
’ north and the south, or ra'hfr between the f re* and
slaveholding States.
Nor can I believe that you, yourself, would refuse to
recognise the distinction. If you knew of one,for in
stance, who had inherited the right to reclaim a fugitive
--the parent having suffered that fugitive to remain un
molested amongst us here for a number of years—and
he should learn that he was domiciled at the north with
a wife, children aud property—l cannot believe you
would counsel him to insist upon his extreme rights,
and demand his person, in preference to a reasonable
compensation ; thus sundering ties that all deem more
or less sacred. No, sir, lam sure you would counsel
no such course. There is enough in your letter that
satisfies me that you possess in a full degree the hunum
ity that should always accompany the possession of
power.
Nor do 1 believe the disastrous consequences that you
anticipate would follow the offer to redeem,iu any fu
ture case. Even if the recent law bad in it a provision
that the owner should receive a stipulated sum, on the
person —the practical operation of it would be a surren
der, in most cases, of the fugitive. The abolitionists
and active free soilers will give nothing. It is against
their principles. They would', if needful, accoinodato
him with a home in oar prisons ; but tlwy will give no
money for lus freedom. The subscription then w'ould
come from those who are in favor of sustaining the laws,
and who doubt if the fugitive betters his condition by
being made free w ith us. They see, in the probable
future a life of hardship and poverty, and in old age a
home in the almhuuse.
But if the offer to selt would strip the case of most
of those features out of which bad men to
agitate—those who would “not now have v re
pealed if they could,” and would shout with P rese, ‘be
escape of a fugitive, regardless of the Wood a sub- i
have shed in effecting it. IS- J ‘
The enforcement of the law with ns is not
matter of doubt. NVe have the power and the will to
doit; and if it were otherwise, there is another power
behind, that is any thing but a “rope of sand” in its
ability to sust;iin its obligations. The “ higher law,”
and “peaceable secessions,” are delusions of the day,
and woe be onto tlioee who- make such heresies their
rule of aetioa.
With your general remarks touching the “institu
tion” in the present state of the colored population I
agree. They correspond entirely with my own opinion
formed after intercourse with the people of the south,
and long years of reflection. Whether the race are in
the position designed by Providence for highest good,
lam not prepared to say. That problem to my mind,
is yet to be solved. It is yet to be determined whether
they can by any cultivation acquire that self reliance
which is essential to a position of equality. But that
their present condition could be essentially advanced,
by a greater cultivation of their mind, with safety and
profit to their masters, I have seen nor heard nothing to
lead me to doubt. Between absolute bondage, as it
now exists, and an ameliorated condition of service
needing protection, there is a wide difference ; sud it is
to this advanced and better condition tlia-t my hopes are
directed.
If you tell me that instruction cannot be given, con
sistent with your own safety, I think you will prove too
much. Our intellects are given us by Providence for
good and wise purposes ; and if you convince me that
the bondsman is not a proper subject for progress, and
the development of his faculties you will do much to
convince me that he is in a false position.
You are opposed to emancipation upon the soil, and
this 1 deem your radical error. Ido not refer to a gen
eral emancipation ; that may be in the future, when
you and I have passed away ; but that no legal, or oth
er impediments, should prevent master bestowing free
dom, as interest or a sense of duty, or a desire to re
ward faithful services, may dictate, without involving
the necessity of expatriation, I am fully persuaded.
Before this reaches you I shall be well on rny way
to England aud Rome. I visit the latter to see my son,
who now officiates at the protestant chapel in that city.
At some subsequent period I will gladly interchange
sentiments further on this subject.
lam, dear sir,
Yours, very truly,
J.S. Hastings.
P. S. —One word as to the fugitive law. lam not
one of those who are opposed to the law, but also “op
posed to forcible resistance.” The law, in its principal
features, is a good one; I would not alter a word to
render it less effective. I think, however, that provis
ion should have been made tu secure the delivery of the
fugitive to some court in the state from which he is al
leged to have escaped, and if he then and there assert
his freedom, under the law's of that state, a trial by jury
should be secured to him by special provision. Such
a trial, required in the state to which he fled, would
tend greatly to defeat the provisions of theconstitution.
and would be unjust to the south.
Again, that clause requiring all good citizens to aid,
&c., should be striken out. It adds no new obligation
to the liabilities of us all, under the common law, to aid
an officer when resisted , but it is interpreted to mean
that the marshal may call upon any person to aid him
in searching to find and secure a fugitive; and at this our
our-sensitive, well meaning people have expressed a deal
of holy horror, and swear they never will obey so odious
a call. That provision is of no possible good, but does a
great deal of harm. Thus amended, the law would
quite as well protect the interests of the south, and be
much less objectionable at the north. These amend
ments should be proposed by the south.

LETTER FROM ATLANTA.
Atlanta, Ga., May 31,1851.
Dear Doctor: —Allow me to say to you, and
through you to my fellow-citizens of Macon, that they
may well be on their guard, and keep a sharp look-out
against those characters known as belonging to the Cu
ban Expedition. I have been a close observer of all
their movements, men, <fce. I find that every man
attached to the Expedition is a Fire Eater, and Dis
unionist. They have some other object in view besides
the liberation of the Cubans. If that alone were their
object, why don’t we see Union men—men of stability
and firmness of character—belonging to their cause?
Honest men are not engaged in it, and honest men
should beware of them, as evil is their intention. lam
glad to see that our Government has taken some active
steps to have them arrested. lam only surprised that
the authorities don’t arrest all. Why did they not ar
rest Maj. Y g while ho was in Savannah? He
arrived in this place this evening on his way to his
home,’l suppose. From what I can learn, he is the
principal man belonging to the Expedition in this
State. lie carried about 150 men from Cherokee to
the sea-board. I understand he was in Savannah for
several days, and did not attempt in the least to con
ceal himself. I think it the duty of the authorities to
arrest him wherever he may be, as he is certainly more
deeply engaged, and more to blame in it than any other
man in the State. Keep a strong watch on such men.
They have a “lean and hungry look, fit for treason,
stratagem and spoils. ” More anon.

Extract of a Letter,
FROM A MOTHER TO IIER STEP SON.
W county, June 10,1851.
My Dear B. —Your very kind and agreeable letter
came to hand in due time, and nothing except a bad
state of health, has prevented me from giving it early
notice. My health, under the care of a kind and skil
ful physician, is now better, and I take up the pleasing
task to write you. lam pleased with your letter on
more accounts than one. It is a pleasure to me to see
that, you yet remember me, and that, you are grateful
for the many kindnesses rendered you in times past.
It is a great pleasure to me to discover by the tone and
temper of your letter, the seeds of a cultivated mind
capable of the inspiration of lofty impulses and noble
ends; and the evidence of a love of the good and virtu
ous. I hope you will neglect neither time nor opportuni
ty to improve your mind and to prepare yourself for the
exercise of every virtue, and to make yourself useful,
wise and happy. The sentence in your letter—‘There
is no place like home,’ filled my heart with many recol
lections indescribable, and sensations mingled with joy
and sorrow. I thought of the time when, we all were
united in a pleasant circle at home in the agreeable dis
charge of our social relations with many ooeurences to
make us happy; enjoying the company of many friends
to klees ns; and many whom we could bless. I thought
of him to whom we were united hv the dearest and 1
closest ties and who is now no more. O how happy
was I then y and how cureless ic now my destitution ! I
thought of my sorrowing widowhood, somewhat alle
viated by the society and presence of the orphans of
my husband: 1 mused upon the suffering and a afflic
tion of dear little F and the many lonely and anx
ious nights I spent by her sick couch with none to aid;
with no one to render her a kind office ; with none to
solace her anguish but myself. Poor dear F I
hope God who tempera the winds to tho shorn lamb,
will comfort her, and that her afflicrions wbich will last
but far a season, ‘will work out for her a far more Ex
ceeding weight of glory’ and in eternity, she will find
a happy reverson for all trials and tribulation, here.
And then I (Oh God spare the pain) of the
time—that dark and afflictive period under which noth
ing save a conscience void of offence, and the solace
and consolation of a few friends, saved me from the
grave, down to which 1 felt I must go, clothed in sact
cloth and ashes—l allude to that dark day where, slan
der with her hellish tongue, came to rob me of reputa
tion and happiness ; and to tear from me the children of
one dear to me. l> God ! help me to forget this per
iod, a-nd give me the spirit and will to forgive my ac
cusers. Days and moths and years have passed since
then, many a moment of the lonely and solemn and
still night—with no ear to hear—no eye to see, but my
God’s—far from ike land of my nativity—none, con
nected by the ties of consanguinity to comfort me—
has been passed in tears at five remembrance of my
wrongs, and in prayer for the dear children whom
fate and cruelty so ruthlessly tore from me. Dear
B excuse iny (Fuelling upon those things. The
perusal of your letter vividly called up these dark pic
tures, and I could not forego my feelings in giving
r them utterance. Indeed, to whom can Iso properly
| give vent to my feelings as to you whom I nursed aud
whom I love, and whVl know loves and esteems me?
Were I to express thoughts upon those things.
I would never close letter. I mention nothing in
unkindness to any one. It is to you I give a transcript
of my thoughts, believing iu you, 1 find one who has a
tear of sympathy for my wrongs and suffering. Let
1 them rest—ponder them in your own bosom—wound
1 me not over again by men tioning them to any one. Let
them sleep in the tomb. In the great day justice will
be mine.

The Bibb Filibusters.
A meeting of this party took place in this city on Sat
urday last, at which the Hon. Charles Dougherty of
Clarke and Mr. Hunter of Crawford Counties, made
speeches. An association was subsequently formed un
der the title of the “Central Southern Rights Associa
tion,” foo the purpose of printing, publishing and cir
culating documents, during the campaign. This is well.
It is an example worthy of all imitation by the friends
of the Union, in Bibb and other counties of the State.
Our opponents have opened the canvass with fine spir
it. They have a “zeal worthy of a better cause,” and
should bo met as bcoometh patriots who love the “stars
and stripes’’and who are determined that the glorious
inheritance of liberty which our Fathers bequeathed to
us shall not be destroyed, neither suffer dishonor.
Among other Resolutions of this meeting, one was
passed recommending the next Legislature to be “ dili
gent in using all constitutional means to divert the
course of trade from the Northern States and to estab
lish a direct trade between the Southern Ports and Eu
rope, by imposing discriminating taxes on Northern
Goods—to offer bounties and premiums on our own
Mechanical and Agricultural productions,’’ &c. A
gain, we say good ! Such constitutional measures
we will join heart and hand in bringing about. But
we can’t say we have much faith in the sincerity of the
proposition, coming from that source, in favor of protec
tion to our own “'mechanical and agricultural produc
tions.” This is a “tub thrown to the whale” —a “bait
to catch gudgeons,” because the same class of men
have already set themselves in array against the move
ment of the mechanics to protect themselves from bur
dens imposed by bad legislation and existing custom.
“Bounties and Premiums” will avail nothing to reme
dy the evil, until politicians learn to be just and legis
lators learn to look upon industry in some better light
than as a pnnishment for malefactors ! &c. Another
resolution was passed, appointing a Committee to pro
pound the following questions to the nominees for Gov
ernor :
“Ist. Do you believe that a State has the right, by
virtue of her sovereignty, to secede from the Union.
2d. If any State should think proper to avail herself
of this right, do you believe that the General Govern
ment has the Constitutional power to coerce her to re
turn in the Union ; and should a call be made upon the
State of Georgia for troops to enforce this power, if
claimed on the part of the General Government, would
you, as the Executive of Georgia, respond to such a
call.
3d. Do you believe the late acts of Congress, termed
the Compromise, Constitutional, just and equitable as
a whole.”
Now, so far as these queries are addressed to Gov.
McDonald, it is ail right and proper, but it certainly
seems out of place, if not impertinent, for such a crowd
to set themselves up as catechizera of the Union Candi
date, on any subject, and we we hope such an inquisi
tion will l>e treated with profound eontempt by Mr.
Cobb. If these querists are so anxious, as they seem
to be, to know Mr. Cobb’s opinions on the matters sub
mitted, why not go decently about it and appoint a com
mittee of conference with a like committee of the Union
Party to address the Candidates, conjointly 7 Os
course Mr. Cobb would take pleasure in responding to
such an invitation and with the cordiality and frankness
of a man who knows no concealment of his political
1 views.
The Disunion Candidate.
That Got. McDonald is a political trimmer, of the
6rst water, let facts be given to a candid world.
Ata Fourth of July dinner in Macon in 1832, Judge
McDonald gave the following toast:
Bt Juduk MoDonald.— ‘ Liberty—the Constitu
tion— Union. The first established the second, both
depend upon the exigence of the last,’
At the Union dinner on the 4th July 1833, Wash
ington's Farewell Address was read by Judge McDon
ald and the following among other toasts, said to have
been prepared in Judge MoDonald’s office, were offer
ed on ibe occasion :
The State of Georgia. —Unsurpassed by ber sis
ters in patriotism and love of country —May she nev
er be torn from their kindred embrace by evil ma
chinations^
The Star Spangled Banner. —May the arm per
ish which would attempt to raise in its stead an em
blem of disunion or blood.
These were in the days of Nullijieaiion when
McDonald was a Union man of the right stamp. Now
look on this picture, jpjg” This same politician was Vice
President of the Ist Nashville Convention, President
of the 2d and President of that sublimated essence of
all faction, malignity and treason, that met here on the
22d of August last, and who smiled approvingly when
Kliett advocated ‘temporary secession’ and Yaney la
bored to prove it right, and when Daniel cried out ‘Dis
union ,’ when Stiles was speaking of the ‘Star Span
gled Banner’ and its power to protect an American
Citizen iu foreign hinds amidst war and tumult! Yea,
this same Charles J. McDonald gave the weight of his
influence to mob-law violence against an unoffending
’ citizen and allowed the publication by his ‘Organ-grind
er’of Marietta, of the slanderous pi eainble of a mob
meeting in this city, against an innocent person ?
• And yet C. J. McDonald is a good Union man!
lie is a friend of ‘law and order’ and of the Constitu
tion ! lie is a consistent politician and a tumid demo
cratic Republican ! By a parity of ratiocination Judas
never betrayed liis Master, nor denied his faith !
Calumny Refuted. —We refer to a interesting
Correspondence in another column from the Boston
Post, between our fellow citizen, Dr. Robert Collins
and J. S. Hastings, Esq. of Boston, concerning the
sale of the slave, l'ilien Crafts, owned by Dr. C. for
ample refutation of the rumor which has been in cir
culation that the Dr. lias sold his slave for a large
amount. This Letter breathes throughout so patriotic
and disinterested devotion to the rights of the South
and exhibits such entire absence of all mercenary mo
tives in his attempt to recover his fugitive slave, that
we cannot refrain from calling public attention toa doc
ument so creditable to the head and heart of the
author. When his calumnators will show as much
devotion to Southern Rights as he has done, they will
be entitled to more respect than can, at present, be
awarded to them.
Explanation —Several respectable citizens liv
ing ou the Houston road disown all knowledge of a
transaction reported in the ‘Citizen,’ a few weeks since,
of an old man from Haneock being first drugged & then
robbed of his money, and desire us to exhpnerate them
from the suspicion which said report might excite
against tliera by reason of their being dwellers on the
same road. This we do, with pleasure, because we
did not wish to raise suspicion against innocent persons.
We therefore say that neither of the person® whose
names, are subjoined are at all implicated, so far as we
know, in the robbery referred to: —Wise, Underwood,
Stubbs, Lancton, Bedingfield, Calhoun, Hancock, Blan
cett, Briiicefield, Rosser, Bassett, Jenkins, Sen., Sloan
and Sanderson.
Mechanics Moving,
There will probably be a full Convention at Atlanta
on the 4th July, judging from the fine spirit with
which the movement is responded to. Richmond, Bibb,
Clarke, Putnam, Macon, Lumpkin, Morgan, Delvalb,
Washington and other counties have appointed dele
gates. Also several meetings Itave been held in Alaba
ma and delegates chosen. We are authorized to say
that the Rail Road faro on the Macon and Western
Road will be red need one ltalf, provided a ceflain
number of seats are taken. The Mechanics of Mpcon
(delegates and others) who intend to go to Atlanta, on
the occasion will please hand in their names,at this office,
at the earliest convenient period, so that definite ar
rangements may be concluded, in season, with the
Rail Road Company.
The Senatorial Convention.
We are authorized by the Chairman of the late
Union Meeting in Monroe, to say that tbe delegates
to the Senatorial Convention for the county of Monroe
do not consider that they have any authority to change
either the time or ptaee of meeting. As the matter
has been referred by the delegates from Bibb to the del
gates from Monroe, and the people of Monroe have
already settled the question, the Convention will be
held at Colaparehee on Tuesday the Bth day of July
and it is hoped ihat there may be a full attendance upon
the occasiou.
21th June. —The Masonic Fraternity of this city
will forego their usual celebration of the approaching
Festival of St. John, to participate with the Brethren of
Fort Valley in the customary festivities of that day. A
train of passenger cars will leave early on Tuesday
morning and return, in the evening, to the city, at the
reduced rate of one fare both ways. We hope that a
goodly company of the Brotherhood will be able to
visit Fort Valley on the occasion.
A Rare Chance.— Messrs. Logan and Atkinson,
are now offering their large and very rich stock of
spring and summer goods, at N. Y. cost, for cash. La
dies will find this to be a‘‘true bill,’’ and will, at once,
take advantage of the opportunity to get choice goods at
a great bargain.
‘•fan’tUome It.” —The Charleston folks can
not prevail on the people of Augusta, to grant them a
Railroad connexion across the Savannah, so they have
concluded to waive thatcondition and subscribe $250,
000, to the Charleston and Memphis Railroad ! We
are glad to hear that there is a decided majority of the
people of Augusta opposed, at present, to the connex
ion scheme. The whole State of Georgia is interested
in keeping that avenue closed until the secession “var
mint’’ is not only “scotched but killed.”
Tit For Tat.
“The editor of one of the Maine papers, says that he
had a pair of boots given to him which was so tight that
they came very near making him an Universalist, be
cause ho received his punishment as he went along.'' —
Exchange.
That editor is cousin to the Connecticut man, who
after taking a ride over a rough piece of road, in a wa
gon without cushions or springs, declared that he
would choose that kind of vehicle to travel in, when he
went “ W/-wards!” “Why so?” said a bystan
der. “Because,’’ said he, “ I shall be so glad when
I get to the end of my journey"!
Art Union Engravings.
Through the politeness of Messrs. J. J. & S. P. Rich
ards, we have received a copy of one of the Art Union
Engravings for 1850—that of “Ann Page, Slender and
Shallow,’’ also a copy of No. 1 of the “ Gallery of
American Art,” containing five splendid Line engrav

Brown’s Eccontrlc Power Press.—An
editorial article calling attention to the new advertise

we now ask the planters to read the certificates of the

column.
014 Mr. ‘‘Exactly —There is an old man
near this village, who is as rabid on the subject of poli
tics as the worst Salamander or Fire Eater of Blufßon
bailwick ever gets to be. In conversation, the other
day, with a Colonel of “chivalry” and a Cherryst. mer
chant, both of whom are fairly spotted with the disun
ion virus , the only response he was able to give to his
Delphic Oracle, the Colonel aforesaid, was, “Exactly”
“Exactly.” Os course the argument was at an end,
after such a decided and earnest “amen” from the old
sinner to the teachings of his High priest. This same
individual, tve understand, has insinuated that we are
justly accountable for the private transgressions and
pecadilloes of our correspondents, one of whom has re
cently got into trouble with the authorities. So base an
insinuation should come, least of all, from that quarter,
hor the same reason we would be held responsible for
the private malignity, vulgar stupidity and miserly
meanness of his ex-lionorable Judgeship himself, be
cause he, by great good nature on our part, was once
admitted, through our columns, to relieve himself of his
superabuudant indignation against bis enemy. God
forbid then that any such an avalanche of moral de
pravity should fall upon us and crush us by its heavy
penalty ! We would not risk such a fate fur his whole
cocoonery !
Queue ! If the nature and essence of a man’s
. politics are of the “Fire and Tout” order, how
can his religion be of a different stripe ? Ah, my
dearly beloved friend, I perceive that you are yet “ in
the gall of bitterness and bonds of iniquity,” from which
an orthodox liquid brimstone purification can alone
save you. Good bye Mr. “Exactly.’’ Good bye!!
Benson English.— a Newark, New Jersey

is from Macon, Ga. and is but three years of age. lie
is on a visit with his mother to some connections in
this city, and lias given two or three private entertain
ments in the presence of some of our musical amateurs,
who pronounce him far superior in correct execution
to his rival. His time and tune astonished all present.

A Bachelor’s Opinion.
Our learned cotemporary of the Telegraph, has'bro
ken out in anew place,’ having waved, for a season
his usual dry homiletics on polities, for a lively dus-r
tation on the Bloomer Costume and a philosophies!
inquiry into the number, w-eight and circumferential
dimensions of the under garments worn by ‘ladies of
refinement.’ After quoting the opinion of Mrs- E.
Oaks Smith, who quotes a Boston Physician on the
ells to the health of ladies, from wearing skirts weigh
ing from 10 to 12 pounds, with drawing strings aroutd
the waist, producing compression upon the organs be
neath, which are only protected by the pliant wails of
the abdomen,’ Ac., our bachelor friend thus comments
upon Mrs. Bloomer’s new costume which is intended I*
obviate all the difficulties just mentioned :
“This absurdity of dress may suit such Amazon* as
Mrs. Bloomer and her crew. But that it should inais
such progress among the refined and delicate women if
the South, its extreme character forbids. Cost nice
we know, changes arbitrarily, and passes through met
amorphosis the most complete with incredible rapidity.
But, then, those who change it must be beatiful, elegmrf
or powerful; they must be “stars of fashion.” The
wives and daughters of all the upstart fashionable*ofH
Flunkeydom, with all the poets and schoolmirtiwM
thrown in, will never be able to do away with inagls
curl; much less with the present graceful costume t
mong ladies of true refinement ”
This we suppose, may be deemed a settlement of the
vexed question, provided the opinion of a bachelor *
considered good authority in matters which are beyooi
his legitimate observation. To entitle his opinio*,
however, to much consideration with those for whom*
was designed—'upstart fashionable Flunkeydom’ —tb
