McDonald a Changeling.
The Union Platform of 1833 xvas built by such men
Haynes, Glascock, Towns, and Dr. Fort. On the
noth of November of that year, at a meeting of the
Union Democratic Republican Party of the State of
peorgia, of which Judge Sturgis was one of the Sec
retaries, the following Resolutions, among others, were
passed :
I X Resolved, That when the General Government,
j,y its abuses and usurpations of powers not recognized
bv t he Constitution, tyranizes over a minority, and re
cess becomes utterly hopeless, through remonstrance
r the operation of the elective franchise, it becomes
•he right and the duty of the people, as an act of Revo
hition, to throw off such government, ‘and to provide
, ~)v guards for their future security.”
< Resolved, That when the crisis referred to in the
receding resolution shall have oceured, xve will our
-sLlves be prepared for separation. But xve should nev
er assent to so monstrous a step, without the most pa
tent deliberation, and a profound conviction of its im
perious necessity. No human work is perfect. But
the Union of these States presents the noblest model
4 ,f political liberty that was ever formed by the hands
f w isdom and virtue. It protected the infancy of our
cation ; it is rapidly conducting us to greatness and
renown. It has covered the vast xvilderncss with a
jiardv, enterprising and happy population ; it has spread
our commerce over every sea. Its successful opera
tion not only diffuses innumerable blessings atnongour
selves. but is at this moment cheering the hopes, and
animating the exertions of the philanthropists in every
region of the globe. Whoever, from interested or light
and sufficient motives, xvould destroy such a system is
the enemy of his country —the enemy of his species.
It is indeed liable to corruptions and against them we
will guard with all vigilance, and contend with all
itrengtb. But xve will never abandon it, while there
remains a reasonable hope of maintaining its purity, still
less will xve consent, that it shall be sacrificed to the re
venge of disappointed ambition, or the fantastic schemes
of visionary projectors.’’
Resolved , That in condemning tlie proceedings of
the Hartford Convention, the object of which xvas a
wparate peace and alliance with the enemy, against
which the people of these United States were then
contending for the most essential rights of independ
ent nations, we must equally condemn the proceedings
of all other Conventions which are calculated to pro
duce collisions between the States and General Gov
ernment. and which tend directly to disunion among
the States , to civil war, or to dependence on some
foreign power.”
Then on the 16th December following, another
meeting was called to provide for the propagation of
the principles above—Jacob Wood, presiding, and
Wilkins Hunt, acting asSeeretary. In the Report and
Resolutions adopted, they thus spoke of tha State Rights
men:
.“Millie they have been cautious enough to apply to
fho opponents of the heresy the title of the Federal
party, they are acting upon principles and doctrines
of the Hartford Convention Federalists, xvliose machi
nations in tlie hour of their country’s greatest peril,
lmd well nigh produced a dismemberment of this
Union,’’ Ac.
The same meeting appointed a Central State Com
mittee to carry out the above sentiments, and on the list
xve find the name of CHARLES J. M’DONALD!
Then, he was opposed to a dismemberment of the
Union—xvhich was declared the ‘noblest model of po
litical liberty ever formed by the hands of wisdom and
xrirtue’—note he is identified in opinion, in party ties,
sympathies and action, with the avowed disunionists
whom eighteen years since he denounced so bittcily.
Under such circumstances hoxv can the Union Repub
licans of ‘33 ever bring themselves to vote for the re
creant politician, C. J. McDonald ? And hoxv can
any friend of his country vote for a man, xvliose cause
is boldly proclaimed by the mad-caps of South Caro
lina tube tliwircause—and whose election, as Govern
,'irof Georgia, will be hailed as evidence that the people
desire secession and dissolution of that ‘noblest model
of political liberty—the A merienn Confederacy! Why,
gentle reader, McDonald, Quitman and Yancy have
been honored by the /•hi.'-ahy with th-’ lbte -of Fjtgde
men for the Coffin Regiment! They are said to\e
sounding their Bugles m the west, to rally their claim's
for the overthrow of the Union which their penny
whistle pipers declare they‘hate like hell*.’ And yet,
with face of brass and hypocritical protest, some now
claim that McDonald is a Union man and worthy of
all confidence as such ! Can effrontery go farther ?
Preaching vs Practise.
Three of the most rabid Fire Eaters in Bibb County,
have thus shown their devotion to Southern Rights and
Southern independence.
No. 1. a tall son of Esculapius, if not a “ son of
York,” generously proposed to one of our cabinet
workmen, to buy a thousand dollars worth of furniture
■from him, provided he would furnish the articles at
the same prices such could be had, for cash, in
Nexv York, and he xvould wait a txvolx'e-month for his
money ! Os course the proposition xvas declined.
No. 2. sent to New York for a thousand dollar car
riage when lie could have got as good a one here for
less money, and thereby thrown a few dollars into the
hands of Mechanics living in our midst. This man lix’es
outside the corporation to ax'oid city taxes, and prates
,highly about “Southern Rights’” and honor!
No. 3. who hailed, originally, from th abolition I
Breen Mountain State, and who may, for aught xve
know, be a distant relative of Uncle Titus Holdfast's
family—the “F. F. V.”-of that State, true to his in
stincts, has ever preferred giving pratronage to North
ern Mechanics instead of bestowing it upon his worthy
neighbors !
To all which we have no objections, only that it does
not look well for such pinks of chivalry and “ Southern
Rights” men, par excellence, to look one xvay and
row another, after this fashion. Precept and practise
should go hand in hand, and they are hypocrites whose
•theory and practise do not thus correspond. But the
natter becomes worse when such gentry undertake to
advise Southern Mechanics as to their interests, and
W| th false words over the name “Southron” or other
ad captandum signatures, seek to cast contempt upon
their efforts to improve their condition. We mean to
*ateh such men and expose their duplicity, wherever
’ y e discover it.

That Collin Regiment. —The Colonel of this
famous wing of the Quattlebum service, after a long
retirement, has again taken the field. For the pre
*ut his head-quarters are at Columbus, whence he late
•y issued general orders to his command. We under
stand that one of his Coffin Commissaries tried, the
other day, to fill one of those receptacles for the fal
icn) with the body of a Georgia Submissionist grave-
but the sequel proved the truth of the old max
’m.that ho that diggetli a pit for his neighbor shall
hii therein. Jerry cut away at his antagonist so skill-
that the Coffin xvas more likely to be needed by
the maker than by the sexton !
AXorthcro man with Southern Principles.
Attract of a lrtter from a citizen of Macon, dated,

Dr. Burney’s Acceptance.
Forsyth, July 22, 1851.
Gentlemen :—Your very kind and complimentary
ietter of the Bili instant, informing me of my unani
mous nomination by tbe Convention, which was held
at Coleparche on that day, as the candidate of the Con
stitutional Union party for a seat in the next Senate of
Ga. has been duly received. lam deeply and sensi
bly penetrated by this mark of confidence on the part
of those whose organs you are, and whatever may be
my future destiny, I venture to aver that this man
ifestation of partiality shall be garnered up in my heart
amongst the few things to which memory will delight
to advert.
In accepting the nomination, gentlemen, I trust my
sincerity will not be questioned, when I assure vou,
that nothing short of the eventful crisis which is now
at hand could influence me to leave the shades of re
tirement for the arena of political strife. Efforts are now
being made to stultify the Sovereign people of Geor
gia, by setting at naught the proceedings of the Con
vention which held its deliberations in Milledgeville in
December last. It yet remains to be seen, how far
these disturbers of the peace and tranquilily of the
public mind, shall succeed in their unwise and destruc
tive policy. Should it be the will and pleasure of the
people of the 26th District, to honor me
with a seat in the next Legislature of Georgia, I will
not by any act of mine inflict a wound upon their best
interests, nor cover with dishonor the escutcheon of my
native State.
Thanking you sincerely, gentlemen, for the very kind
manner in which you have been pleased to convey the
intelligence of my nomination, I beg leave to subscribe
myself, your friend and ob’t serv’t.
S. W. BURNEY.
Messrs. Andrews, Norman,
Goodwin, and others Coin't.
Mr. Cobb’s Progress, kc.
/- ,
V\ e have the most flattering accounts of the pro
gress of Mr. Cobb through Southwestern Georgia.
Every where he has met with the most heart-felt greet
ings of assembled thousands, who have listened to his
able vindication of the Compromise measures and his
patriotic appeals in behalf of the Constitutional Union
of our forefathers. At Columbus lie had out to hear
hint the largest assembly of people that ever convened
in the Temperance Hall. Ip Early he was met by
bis friend, the Hon. 11. W. Ililliard of Alabama, who
addressed the people of Fort Gaines and Blakely, in
advocacy of the same glorious principles after Mr. Cobb
concluded. In Thomas county the largest auditory
over convened in that section, on a politicstl occasion,
were assembled, and his speech fell with ponderous and
convincing effect upon many even of the Fire-Eaters.
At Amerieuson Thursday, arrangements had been
made for 3000 guests and the utmost enthusiasm pre
vailed, to make it a gala flay for the people. To day
Mr. Cobb speaks at Vienna, Dooly county, when he
will return and visit Culloden, on Wednesday, next/.
On the other hand Mr. McDonald lias proclaimed
himself the Mum candidate. He has got upon stilts
and cannot come down to converse with the rabble !
It is beneath the dignity of a candidate for Governor,
says lie, to enter the hustings and let the sovereigns
know, viva voce, what opinions he may have on various
political topics! This is a sorry ‘back-out’on his part,
besides being a left-handed compliment to his friend
Buonaparte Towns, who did do that same undignified
thing of addressing the people when he was a candi
date for Gov rnor ? Towns, however, undertands
Charley, lfis Excellency knows that his Ex-Ex
cellency is no Demosthenes or Cicero, and there
fore it is best; (all things considered as well as till ugly
things to be explained by his friend,) that Mae should
‘draw it mi UR in the department of Elocution!
But how will the people relish the mum eadidate
who sits perched on the pinnacle of his own self
complacency so high as to be out of sight and hear
ing of common folks ? We cannot say, but should not
be surprised to learn that their decision, at the Ballot
Box will be, ‘wo will not have this man McDonald
for our Prince and Ruler, no how it can be fixed.’ From
present indications, Cobb will sweep tbe field by 20,-
000 majority, bnt if it will save the feelings of our op
ponents any, xve xvill compromise at 20,000, and let
them off! v Hurra for the four C's—COBB, CHAP

ACT 111
“ Salamander ” tnmasked!
In compliance with our demand upon the Editors
of the Savannah Georgian, the author of a certain li
bellous and scurrilous epistle from Atlanta, which xx-as
recently published in that Journal, concerning the Me
chanics’ Convention, lias been revealed ! His name
is Dr. PENDLETON CHEEK, a resident of Atlan
ta, for some time past, and xve give his ‘local habita
tion and name,’ for the benefit of tbe public at large
and of the Mechanics of the State, in order that they
may know their traducer and meet out to him their
just and scornful indignation.
Os the standing and character of this Pendleton
Cheek xve have not yet been able to obtain any exten
sive information. We have learnt sufficient, however,
to say that lie is a short, thick set man, about 45 years
of age, with as villanous a hang.dog countenance as
was ever looked upon by honest eyes. lie is one of
those universal geniusses who can turn his hand to any
thing—at one time a Doctor—then a Preacher—
again a mill-wight—Portrait and landscape painter
and Dentist, as circumstances may seem to requre, but
noted or distinguished for nothing that is honorable or
virtuous. The same brazen-Cheek individual xvas once
a Baptist Preacher in Newton county, but xve are in
formed, xvas expelled therefrom, for the crime of wilful
and deliberate falsehood. This expulsion, hoxvever,
has nut, it would seem, cured him of xvliat appears to
be one of his ‘besetting sins,’ judging from his late
‘Salamander’ epistle. Having been thus kicked out of
the Baptist communion, he joins that parasitical or
misleto branch of the order, called Campbellites, in
which he is now in full fellowship and perhaps a spir
itual leader! We are credibly informed that nc- human
being is more universally loathed than this man Cheek,
wherever known, and that his connexion with a re
spectable family by marriage and the possession of
some money are the reasons xvhy he is not driven, as a
moral nuisance, from civilized society!
Such is the man, Mechanics of Georgia, that dares,
under an assasin's mask, to assail your motives and tra
duce your principles! And such is the man whom
the Editors of the ‘Georgian’ have permitted to use
their columns for the same purpose, not caring to know
whether their correspondent was a true man or a Imr
an honest man or a rogue, but appreciating him a gen
tleman, because of the 18 new subscribers and ‘money
too’ which their stranger friend sent to them ! Wc
congratulate them on being so blessed with ‘stranger
friends,’ and arc happy also, to extend the notice of
the way and manner an‘open sesame’ is administered
to the columns of the ‘Georgian,’ and the price
sometimes paid for sueli admission ! Os course, it is a
‘fair business transaction’—a quid pro quo reciprocity
of benefit—-a ‘you tickle me and I'll tickle you’ sort of
barter and sole, which cannot be too extensively intro
duced into the honorable profession of Journalism !
N. B. Before bidding adieu to this ‘Cheek by jowl’
conspiracy of the ‘Georgian’ and its Correspondent, xve
haves question or two to propound to the latter, which
he, or someone else‘that knows,’ will please answer at
the earliest convenient period, at the bar of public opin
ion. ‘ Juror look upon the prisoner,—Prisoner look
upon the juror.’
Question Ist. Do you know or did you ever know
a distinguished gentleman of the name of Muriel
who once figured extensively in Tennessee and adjacent
States as an accomplished ‘slight of hand’ professor ?
If so. xvill you please state whether you have such a bias
on your mind for or against said Professor Murrel as
would legally disqualify you to he a witness in Court be
txveen him and the State, were fyc living and araigned ?
Question 2d. Have you any knoxvledge of a cer
tain Doctor in Tennessee who was tried afid convicted
of poisoning, his own wife, but who on a second trial
granted to him, and through the hard swearing ofa
brother Esculapius, swindled the gallows badly out of its
‘habeas corpus’ jurisdiction? If so, which xvay did
that individual peregrinate and xvhereabouts did he take
up ? On receiving a certified copy of the indictment
and evidence in this case, under seal of the Clerk of the
Court, we hereby obligate ourselves to pay all reasona
ble costs of transcript, &o. at sight, in lawful currency
—not bogus —to any one who will transmit us the doc
uments !
Lynch Law.-- •The people of San Francisco have
been so pestered with incendiaries, vagabonds and
thieves, that they have commenced the summary pro
cess of hanging every one caught in rascality, without
Judge or Jury. This is a dreadful state of things, and
only to be toleraed on the principle that “self-preserva
’ tion is the first law of nature.’’ It is to be hoped that
law and order will soon be so established in California
as to render such extreme measures unnecessary.
Escaped.— Terrence B. M’Manus, one of the Irish
patriots who were exiled from tlieir native land, along

Bibb Superior Court.
JULY TERM, 1831.
r pilE Grand Jurors, sworn, chosen and selected for
A the first panel of Bibb Superior Curt, beg leave
to make the following Presentments;
We would respectfully recommend to the next Leg
islature, to create as many additional Judicial Circuits
as are necetsary for the faithful administration of Jus
tice, and we would respectfully urge upon the consid
eration of our Senator and Representatives in the next
Legislature, the necessity of creating anew Judicial
Circuit out of the Flint, Southwestern and Southern
Circuits, to be composed of the counties of Bibb, Craw
ford and Houston of the Flint Circuit, Dooly and Ma
con of the Southwestern Circuit, and Twiggs of the
Southern Circuit. The time now alloxx'ed for holding
the Superior Court in this county is not more than suf
ficient to get through with the criminal docket, with
out touching the civil dockets. Should ample time be
allowed in this county, to go through with all the busi
ness of the Court, we are of opinion, that the saving to
the county iu Jail fees alone, would be nearly sufficient
to pay the salary of one of the Circuit Judges.
We alloxv to Richard Basset, Tax Collector for the
year 1849, the sum of four hundred and twenty-seven
dollars, seventy eight cents and five mills, for his insol
vent list for that year, and recommend that the Infe
rior Court alloxv Mr. Bassett one half of that amount,
and that the Comptroller General allow the other half.
“While on the subject of Taxes, we would especially
condemn in the most pointed manner, the practice tha
has in former years prevailod by constables when Tax
executions have been placed in their hands by the Tax
Collector, of making an indiscriminate return of “No
Property,” on all of them without even calling on the
individuals against whom such executions Were issued,
many of whom Would pa} - them LP called upon.
We would recommend tothe/l'ax Collector, not to
issue executions giving in only a Poll
Tax, unless directed to <io so
Amongst the list of executions’ placed before us, by
the Tax Collector for the year 1849, tt e find 182 exe
cutions issued for Poll Tax alone, amounting to the
sum of one hundred and seventy four dollars sixty six
cents and six mills, on Which the cost amounts to the
sum of one hundred seventy dollars sixty two cents and
five mills, the whole of which is a dead loss to the
state and county.
W would also recommend to the Inferior Court, to
have a list of all persons, who may not have paid their
J axes before the next election, made out in alphabeti
cal order, and handed to the Superintendents of the
elections at the different election precincts, and that
they shall not be allowed to vote until the same he paid.
W e would also instruct the Receiver of Tax Returns,
to insert in liis digest, the full names of every person
giving in his Taxes, and that all property given in be
fully described.
W would also recomrnmend to subsequent Grand
Juries, not to alloxv the Collector any executions as in
solvent, where the full name of the person is not insert
ed in the execution, if the name appears in full upon the
Tax Digest. Wc have had quite a number of execu
tions before us, where the initials of the given name on
ly was inserted, and it was itnposible for the Jury to
identify the individuals.
We have examined the Books of the Clerks of the
Superior and Inferior Courts, and find them neatly and
correctly kept.
We have examined the condition of Court House
aud Jail. Me highly approve of some of the repairs!
done to the Court House, particularly the alterations
made iu the Court and Jury Rooms, but regret to say,
that the painting and whitewashing are badly done,
particularly the walls, doors, tables and benches.—
Tlie Jail W 6 examined thoroughly, and find the rooms
and cells are clean and in good order, and we further
believe,that every thing proper lobe done, to promote
the comfort of its inmates, lias been strictly attended
to.
We have Inade hn examination into the condition of the
Public Roads and Bridges in the eouiity, and find them all in
tolerable order, as far ns lias come to our knowledge, with the
exception of the Bridge across Walnut Creek on the Miiledge
ville Road, which is in had order and needs repairs. We al
so find the Road leading to Clinton by Ellis’ Mills impassable
and recommend that proceedings be instituted ngainst the
Commissioners for neglect of duty.
While upon the subject of Roads and Bridges, we notice
with regreet, the had condition of some of the Public Roads
leading to our city, within the corporate limits thereof, and
would earnestly recommend the City Council to have then) put
in order.
On enquiry, xVe find that in some of the Districts of the
county, the patrol laws a e most shamefully neglected, and we
would recommend thatthey he rigidly enforced by the proper
authorities,and we would ta the Marshals of our
city, a more strict observance ana with negroes

We have made ap -Unit to aseeg”’ condition of the fi
nances of the liibb county AcadoS tj but regret to say,
that our researches have been the
Trustees failing or refusing to respond o the caff made upon
them by this hotly. We have been furnished by the Treasurer
of the City Council, with a statement of moneys paid over to
them by the City Council —from this statement, we learn, that
the various sums paid over tothem since the year 1834 up to
the present time, amounts to the sum of $24,668 45. It cer
tainly was not the intention es the Legislature, that this large
sum of money should he used for any other than educational
purposes, but we have been unable to learn that any poor
children have ever been educated out of it—while if it had
been judiciously managed, the interest alone would have educa
ted a large number. It is true, they have built a Female Acad
emy (which lias been almost useless,) which we understand
cost some twelve or thirteen thousand dollars, which if the ex
penditure had been judiciously made, should not have cost
near that sum. We therefore request our Senator and Repre
sentatives iu the approaching Legislature, to procure the pas
sage of an act, removing the present Trustees of Bibb county
Academy, directing and requiring them to turn over and de
liver to the persons appointed in said Act as Trustees, all mo
nies,books, papers and other evidences of debt that they or ei
ther of them im.iv have in their possessor belonging to said
Fund, and <m failure of so doing, that their successors be au
thorizedand required to proceed to collect and take possession
of the same by law. And that said Trustees so appointed, he
required annually, to lay before the. Grand Jury of Bibb county,
a full statement of their actings and doings.
Not having had time to investigate the subject of vagrancy,
gaming and other offences against the public morals, we rec
commend to the second panel of the Grand Jury to investigate
these subjects. In taking leave of the Court, we hereby ren
der to his honor, Judge Stark, and to Solicitor General McCune,
our thanks for their uniform kindness and attention to this
body during the present term of this Court,
We request that nur presentments be published in the Geor
