The Nashville Tenn. Whig thus discourses concern
ing this ‘spoiled boy’of the family of nations:—
‘A prudent and sensible old gentleman whom
we met the other day, remarked to us that our
people were like a petted spoiled boy, who had
been indulged in so large a liberty, and in so
free an exercise of self-will —so much caressed
and complimented —that he would fall into tan
trums, and rave and storin whenever anybody
or anything crossed the path of his humor or
his whim, and was for blazing away, with fist,
stick or brick-bat, to break down all opposition
to his purpose. Now, says the sensible old gen
tleman aforesaid, we have scarcely disposed ot
the trouble brought on by the Mexican war,
when this capricious youngster (our folks) de
mands that we must have Cuba, or at any rate,
that Cuba must enjoy as much liberty as we.
nolens volens , and straightway, without stop
ping to consider the nature of the government
of The island, the characteristics, temper, pur
poses, or plans of the islanders, or our treaty
obligations with Spain, off they go, at half cock,
and soon fiud themselves for lack of forecast
and concert, swamped, horse, foot and dragoon.
And then, if a fugitive slave happens to be
rescued by a lawless mob, it is proof positive
that the whole North intends to violate the
Compromise, the Union is to be shattered and
shivered into infinitesimal particles, because for
sooth, in their opinion, sooner or later it must
come to that. Should some imprudent citizen
of the Union expatriate himself, and live in
habitual disregard of the laws of his adopted
land, and get into trouble, a row must be kick
ed up; a whole nation with whom we are on
terms of amity and commerce, must be insulted
and brow-beaten, all to show pluck, and to as
sert that our free people are not to be manacled
under any circumstances by despots. This same
spoiled younster, as he grows apace, feels such
an increase of physical power, (like the Emper
or Maximilian, who first lifted the calf, and con
tinued’to lift until he raised the full-grown ox,)
that he feels like adjusting the balance of power
among the conflicting governments of Europe,
aud by the force of steam and republican fury,
would, under the lead of the great Hungarian
exile, go off to thrash all the coutincut ut Europe
and establish genuine republicanism just be
cause ours is the best form ot government
known to Christendom, and we are as much
bound to disseminate and progagate true no
tions of liberty, as the church militant to pro
pagate the gospel. And so the old man ram
bled on, in his own peculiar way, evidently ve
ry much annoyed that the head-strong, spoiled
boy should run so rampant.
A Slip vs. a Pew.—Passing up town last
evening, we saw a man fall upon the side walk,
and said to him as he rose, 44 So, the wicked do
not always stand on slippery places.” “Sir,”
said ho, ‘‘you mistake. I am the son of the pi
ous parents and religiously inc.ined, but as I am
too confounded poor to buy a pew in a fashion
able church, I thought Pd try a slip on Broad
way.”

The Legislature & Governor ,^T*eorgia.
The wisdom riftd polifida! ‘s&’engffi of the people of
Georgia was called into action, on the first Monday in
October last, to elect members to represent their in
terests in the State Legislature, there to assemble on
the first Monday in November. Public speakers, as
well as the popular press of the country, were employed
to give the alarm, and warn the people of the dangers
which were said then to exist, and impress upon them
the importance of usuing great caution iu their selec
tions. The work was gone through with. Much
valuable time and money ivas spent; and the news ol
the result was heralded to all |>arts of the country.
The wisest, purest and best men of the country were
said to be chosen. The public mind quieteu down,
and all waited patiently for the meeting of the Legisla
ture. This took place as usual, on the first Monday
iu November, at which lime Governor Towns’ term
of oftiee expired ; and he left the seat of Government,
a broken down politician, and the lion. Howell Gobb,
chosen by an almost unheard of majority, took his
place, liven the minority party seemed to express
their satisfaction at the result of things, up to this
time. The organizations were all made.without delay.
This looked well, and gave satisfaction. An immense
amount of public business was said to be on hand, but
the machinery was admitted to be ample to perform,
promptly and properly, any amount of labor.
The most prominent subjects of legislation were soon
announced to be but three or four in number, viz: the
election of a L\ S. Senator, anew Tax Bill, and the
State Railroad. The first named was soon disposed of.
The prominent candidate being himself early on the
ground, and bo novice in the management of that kind
of business, pressed his claims with such untiring zeal
as to admit of no delay. In foot, a stranger would
almost eonclue that that part of the business had been
prepared before the Legislature met; and for aught 1
know, it had. Ton weeks have expired since this work
was done, during which time anew but imperfect Tax
Bill has been framed and passed, and has received the
sanction of the Governor. One section has been added
to the penal code, the purport of which is a blot upon
the Statute Book, the State and people. At least one
hundred thousand dollars of the public money has been
spent. But the State Railroad, by far the most im
portant interest that the State and people have, is still
neglected, and allowed to remain in charge of a set of
reckless agents, who are doubtless trying, and if the
truth is only half told, they are succeeding admirably,
to destroy and render unfit for future use every engine
and car on the road, to say nothing of the loss and
inconvenience to which those who patronize the road
have been and are now being subject to.
The Legislature alone, however, is not accountable
for all this. Mr. Cobb cannot be ignorant of what is
going on there. The law now on the Statute Book
and in force, puts this Road and its management in
his hands ; and until the present laws are repealed,
and others enacted, changing the form of its adminis
tration, he, and he alone, is accountable to the people
for its management, and the preservation of its ma
chinery and business. Governor Towns merited and
received more censure and abuse for his reckless
management of the State Road than for anything else.
Ilis Secession doctrines held no comparison with this.
But at no time during the four years of his adminis
tration was this great Suite property so much neg
lected and damaged as it has been since the first Mon
day in November last. Two new engines, which
cost the State some SIB,OOO, have been entirely de
stroyed within the last fortnight, to say nothing of
other material loss, from smashing up cars, and injury
to property shipped on the road. Under this of
things, is it any wonder at all, that the Governor and
Legislature have lost the confidence of the public, and
that an early adjournment of the latter has become
the wish of every right-thinking Georgian.
KOSSUTHIWA.
From the Alabama Journal.
Kossuth.
Messrs. Editors :—I was truly phased to see that
our patriotic Representative, the lion. Jas. Abercrom
bie, as well as our Senators, aud others of the Alaba
ma delegation,had the independence to vote in a small
minority against the resolutions giving a Congressional
reception to the illustrious exile, luis Kossuth. What
claims lias this man upon us, more than the thousands
( f like sufferers in the cause of their country, who
find a refuge among us from the consequences of an
unsuccessful revolt ? What has lie done or suffered
for us, that should entitle him to be placed, by the act
of Congress,on the same extraordinary eminence with
Washington or Lafayette? Asa sufferer in the
cause of freedom and humanity, have we not already
sufficiently expressed our sympathy with his cause
our admiration for his character, by tbe extraordinary
exertions which our Government has made in his
behalf—by our successful intervention with the Otto
man Porte, and by the almost unexampled liberality
with which we aecordid him and his associates a na
tional vessel to bear them to our shores ?
Yet this man, who is indebted to our humane inter
position for his liberty, if not his life, no sooner sets
his feet upon our soil, than with a heroic audacity
perfectly astounding, he demands a national reception,
as Governor of Hungary, aud argues to our face, that
the extraordinary honors bestowed upon him, as an
illustrious patriot, are rendered to his quondam official
station. Not content with this, he proclaims himsell
the apostle of Hungarian and European liberty—the
knight errant of universal republicanism; and with an
immeasurable presumption, which his remarkable
genius and eloquence scarcely redeem, he assails the
policy of our country, and in a labored argument
attempts to prove that American statesmen and the
American people have hitherto misunderstood the
opinions of Washington, and the true policy iu regard
to non-intervention.
He denounces non-intervention, and in a tone of
bold dictation, prescribes anew line ol action for our
Government—the young giant of America should
take a part in European politics—should stretch lot th
his arm and seize the bear of Russia by the throat. And
in this, we are expected to act in conjunction will)
England—with that hard and overbearing power,
from w liieh we wrung our own independence, and
which now exercises in Ireland, the ancestral home of
one fourth of our population, a hateful tyranny, infi
nitely more destructive to the physical welfare of the
masses, than the Austrian rule in Hungary.
The proposition of Monsieur Kossutli to secure the
libeity of Hungary, and ultimately of all Europe,
through the conjoint intervention of the United States
and England, is dangerous, because, from its boldness
it captivates the public mind, appealing as it does to
that adventurous and heroic sentiment, so easily in
fluenced in a popular government —a sentiment uni
versal, and which recognizes something kindred, even
in the wildest extravagances of the knight of La Man
cha. But when, after assuming so much for himself
—after soliciting such an extraordinary change iu our
our foreign policy—after refusing to visit Washington,
unless by the invitation of Congress, our National
Legislature y ields so far to the wild enthusiasm of the
moment, as to give sanction to the bold and dangerous
pretensions of this individual, by according him the
demanded honor, which is little less than tantamount
to a national recognition of the official titles which he
assumes, it is portentous of the new era, and a radical
change in our foreign policy, alarming in the highest
degree to every conservative, every friend of peace,
and the stability of American institutions.
M. Kossuth, in his speech to the New York bar,
is candid enough to avow that our intervention in
behalf of Hungary might involve ns in a European
war, yet lie endeavors to reconcile us to the prospect
in consideration of the righteous and holy character ol
such a war.
England might be very willing to accept our aid to
check the advancing power of Russia, but it is evident
that if our conjoint interference should result, as Mon
sieur Kossutli declares it would, in the prostration of
the aristocracy and hereditary monarchy, and the es
tablishment of republican institutions upon the Conti
nent, England would withdraw at once, to save her
self, and foave us to maintain, single bonded, the
cause of European liberty.
Fifty years since, England, almost from the neces
sity of self preservation, undertook to liberate Conti
nental Europe from the gigantic despotism of Napo
leon. To effect this, besides an immense sacrifice of
blood, oost her six hundred millions of pounds ster
ling, or nearly three thousand millions of dollars. And
yet England had all Europe, outside of France, with
her in the contest against Napoleon. M. Kossutli
tells us that the power of Russia is at this time para
mount and universal on the European Continent,
lie stigmatises Francis Joseph and Louis Napoleon
as mere tools of the Czar. Unquestionably, the Em
peror Nicholas, with his seventy million of subjects,
and with the control of the cabinets of St. Cloud and
\ ienna, and through those of Italy, is more powerful
than Napoleon ever was, in his most palmy days. It
is against this colosial power, w ith which the United
States has always maintained the most friendly rela
tions, that we are modestly invited by M, Kossuth to
take up the gauntlet; not to redress any grievances of
our own, but for the purpose of restoring to him his
governorship of Hungary, and liberating all Europe
from institutions which have existed since the founda
tion of modern civilization.
Thre arc twelve millions of people in Hungary;
and whether Franc.s Joseph or Louis Napoleon is the
better man to govern them, or whether Sealavonians
or Magyars shall have the ascendancy, is for them to
decide and settle among themselves. At all events, it
does not become us to interfere, who have no intimate
knowledge of those people, or their internal politics,
and witli whom we have less commercial intercourse
than with the Chinese. Whether monarchical or re
publican government is best suited to the condition
and spirit of the massess of Europe, is for the two
hunndred millions, comprising those masses, and n< t
for us, three thousand miles distant, and in another
world, as it were, to determine.
Monsieur Kossuth expresses a sincere admiration
and affection for the people of Austria and Russia. It
is is not against the millions of these countries, but
against the two or three individuals who are at the
head of those governments, that lie would wage war.
Now, while it is reasonable to suppose that there are
discontented minorities in those countries, as well as
in our own, yet a moment’s reflection will convince us
that tlio.-e governments, arbitrary,and despotic as they
mt y b*. can only exist through the affection and sup
port of the great majority of the people. We have
enough to do to preserve unimpaired the spirit of lib
el ty and the integrity of our institutions at home,
with jeopardizing all by an insane propagandas crusade
against the institutions of Europe. More than this,
we should recollect that the masses, under the ame
liorating influences of modern civilization, are less
affected in their physical well being by the kind of
government, than by the condition of the government.
That is to say, it is the immense national indebtedness
of the European communities, from which there ap
appears to be no hope of extrication, which practically
weighs upon the people more heavily than the des
potism of their rulers.
In Sweden and Norway, where there is no burden
of national indebtedness, the people under a monarchi
cal government are prosperous and contented : far
more so than they possibly could be under the most
democratic institutions, which should entail upon them
a national debt as onerous as that of England, of France,
or of Austria. If England then required three hun
dred millions to subdue the power of Napoleon, can
wc expect to accomplish the liberation of Europe from
the power of Russia for a less amount ? And who
cannot forsee that with such a national debt weighing
u pon us, the energies of our people would be para
lyzed, and our boasted liberty would be scarcely more
tolerable than a despotism.
And if by our aid Hungary could establish her in
dependence, how, let me ask, would she maintain it
against the colossal power surrounding her ? Would
M. Kossu'.h expect us to uphold Ids government by a
standing army in Hungary? But besides the imprac
ticable nature of the enterprise, and the ruinous con
sequences, which it is plain to foresee would result
from the undertaking, there is a still more vital con
sequence, which uges itself upon the attention of every
man interested in the preservation of Southern institu
tions. It is a bad rule that will not work both ways ;
and if it i.- lawful and expedient for us to interfere in
the domestic affairs of Europe, it is lawful for Europe
to interfere in our domestic affairs. Here is the secret
of the* enthusiastic interest manifested in the 44 glorious
mission,’’ as it is called, of Louis Kossuth, by such
men ns Seward, Greelv, and Henry Ward Beecher.
If the public journals are to l>e credited, the advent
of Kossuth has been proclaimed from the pulpit in the
city of New York, as t lie “second coming of Christ”
—a sentiment not unworthy the sacrilegious spirit of
abolition.
May God, in bis mere} - , protect my country from
the degrading depths of man-worship and fanaticism
into which it has fallen !
Let me say that, as high mental efforts, I have read
all the speeches of M. Kossuth with attention and de
light. I admire his master mind, his learning, his
genius, and his eloquence ; but I detest his diplomacy
—that diplomacy which would plunge us into the un
fathomable vortex of European politics, ami entail
upon us the two most ruinous features of modern Eu
rope—immense standing armies, and an intolerable
national debt. A. A. D.

MAGYARDIS3I AND KOSSUTII.
Where the sources of information are so di
verse and contradictory as those relating to the
late war of races in Hungary, it is not surpris
ing that public opinion should be divided on
the subject, or that the able treatises in relation
to it iu the North American and Branson’s
Reviews, the New York Courier <fc Enquirer, and
other conservative journals, both \\ hig and
Democratic, should be answered as they have
been, by the talented Mrs. Putnam and the
Freesoil press. The publications in New Or
leans have been mostly favorable to the Mag
yars, but it is a safe rule to hear both sides, and
as I cannot give the Magyar cause either my
approbation or my sympathy, I will state my
objections to it, if you please, in a single sen
tence.
I have been convinced then,sir,from Magyar,
as well* as anti-Magyar authorities, that the
Magyars, who compose only about one-third of
the population of Hungary, have for centuries
the Sclaves, the remaining two-thirds, in a state
of servile bondage, nearly or quite as absolute
as that of our Southern negroes; that the had
Sclaves, from whom is derived our word ‘slave,’
are of the same color, and naturally equal in in
tellect to their lordly masters; that whatever
might be the merits of the Magyar nobility, as
such , in exactiug from Austria, after the down
fall of Metternich, their greater independence
of the Emperor, the movement was calculated
to consolidate the prescriptive power of their
race and enable them to hold the Sclaves in con
tinued bondage; that the refusal of the Mag
yar Government, when Kossuth was its Prime
Minister, to grant its Sclavonic subjects equality
of political rights with the Magyars, led to the
4 Servian Insurrection ,’ as Kossuth calls it, in
which the Sclavonians rose against the Magyars
in a noble struggle for independence; that the
Magyar Ministry basely appealed to Austria to
put down this ‘insurrection,’ and that this ap
peal was signed by Kossuth; that thereupon
the Emperor outlawed Jeliachjch, the Ban, or
Governor of Croatia; that subsequently, after
another vain appeal to Kossuth and his ministry
for equality, Jcllachich repaired to the Imperial
Court and succeeded in making his peace with
Austria, and that soon afterwards, on the acces,
sion of Joseph to the Imperial throne, the new
Emperor granted his people a constitution, in
which the Sclaves were emancipated and placed
on an equality with the other races of the Em
pire; that then,and not until then, the Magyar
government declared its independence of Aus
tria, Kossuth being Dictator; that in that De
claration of Independence the right was reserv
ed to the Magyar nobility, and not to the whole
people, to frame anew constitution, which
should perpetuate the bondage of the Sclaves,
and the Magyars continued these aristocratic
and lordly pretensions until a few days before
the resignation and flight of Kossuth ; hence all
my sympathies are for the hitherto, oppressed
Sclavonians, against the Magyar aristocracy,
just as they are, in the somewhat analogous
case for oppressed Ireland, against aristocratic
England.
Having thus, in one sentence, summed up
my objections to Magyardism, permit me, in
another sentence, to say why I cannot sympa
thise with Kossuth personally.
It appears to me, then, sir, that, the most
prominent characteristic of the great ex-Dicta
tor is selfishness, that selfishness marked his po
litical career in Hungary; that selfishness gov
erned him when he resigned to Gorgey the
hazardous post he had held as head of the
Magyar government; that selfishness has made
him all things to all men, a Red Republican at
Marseilles, an aristocrat in England, and a Har
lequin of Socialism and Evangelicity in Ameri
ca; that sharp lawyer as he is, (for no one pre
tends that he is or ever was a soldier,) selfishness
made him twist the charity of our Government,
in offering him and his comrades a free passage
in a Government vessel to onr shores, and a se
cure asylum under our free institutions, into an
invitation to visit the country, as the Country’s
guest, such as was sent to our chitalric benefac
tor, Lafayette; that regardless of the welfare
of the nation to which lie is thus indebted, sel
fishness makes him avail himself of the open
ing, thus offered, to commence a popular agita
tion, with the view of either arraying an exci
table people against their Government, or of
compelling that Government to obey the behest
of the people, and forcing it into political mea
sures which would involve it in an European
war, to the utter ruin of the South, in the de
struction of the European markets for its lead
ing staple; that selfishness and egotism, in fine,
have marked the man from the dark event in
his early history, which compelled him to fly
the outraged laws of his country, down to the
last speech he made, in his theatrical velvets, to
an American assembly.
Hence, sir, I cannotsyinpatlii.se with either
Aristocratic Magyardism or Lawyer Kossuth.
AN AMERICAN FREEMAN.
Kossuth at the Catitol. —‘Observer,’ the
Washington correspondent of the Baltimore
Sun writes:
‘The feeling here in Congress is most decided
ly against an entangling alliance with Great
Britain, and against empty declarations of in
ternational law. We are not prepared, iu the
present unsettled state of Europe, to say what
doctrine we mean to sustain there, and if Kos
suth urges such a consideration on Congress,
he will meet with a most certain rebuke. We
cannot make declarations without sustaining
them by force of arms, and the genius of our
people is not for war on an abstract principle, in
the maintenance of which it has no immediate
personal interest.
‘The news from France, so far from adding
strength to the Kossuth feeling, lias thrown cold
water on it. It has made many doubt whether
to maintain liberal principles in Europe was not
a mere Utopian enterprise. If France sustains
the unparalleled usurpation of Louis Napoleon,
there is very little hope for Europe ; and if
France throws off the hero of a political carni
val, the clown of a night’s performance, we
must first know what government may be
picked up in the stieets, or follow the successful
defence of a barricade, as the successor to the
charlatan. In a w’ord, we must first know whe
ther the patient (Europe) is curable, before we
can select to contribute either money for the
purpose of medicine, or to pay the doctor.’

MACON, GEO. JAN. 17, 1852
Macon Colton .Market.
Prices range from 6to 7 1 -2e. extremes. Market
quiet. Buyers waiting the Liverpool accounts now
due.
Stale Mechanical Inslitute , A meeting
of the Hoard is cnWed t'..TL Tu.evening next, at 1-2
past 7 o'clock, at the Malian ics* Library Room.
Mechanics’ Society —Regular meeting to.
night, at 71 2 o’clock. Library Committee is to be
elected. Como one, come all.
Lyceum—This is a praiseworthy enterprise, but
we think that a second organization of the kind in
Macon is impracticable. The Mechanics’ Society has
the nucleus of a fine Library, already, the benefits of
which might be extended by a union of effort between
the two associations.
Improvement contemplated.
So signal has been our success, for the past year,
that we have contemplated making some decided irn.
provements in the character of our Journal, for the
benefit of all classes of the community. On the Ist of
April next, or at the commencement of our third vol
ume, we design to publish a tri-weekly advertising
Citizen, from that date, and a weekly Citizen, in the
columns of which advertisements will only appear one
time, except by special favor and at a higher rate.
This improvement we intend to make in our weekly
edition, to meet the views of subscribers at a distance
who do not like to take a paper half filled with adver
tisements and the other half with politics, but who
desire a readable family paper, well filled with choice
miscellany, news, literature, <scc. &c. The tri-weekly
Citizen is intended to meet the wants of the commer
cial community of Macon, and of the adjacent towns
and villages, of which Macon is the focus and the rail
roads the radiating lines therefrom. We say that such
is our intention, which will be more fully explained
hereafter, and in the consummation of which we shall
be glad to receive the assistance of every body inter
ested.
Be Jo at and Generous.— Weare under many
obligations to our friends aud customers, generally, for
their prompt response to our polite invitation to “call
at the captain’s office and settle.” With a few excep
tions, when bills have been presented by ourself or
juvenile collector, the cash has been forthcoming, or
bills exchanged, with a courtesy and kindly feeling
which has given us much pleasure. In some instan
ces, however, evasions and shuffling have been re
sorted to, to avoid payment, which are any thing hut
gentlemanly. The collector is told to call again, or
that there is some mistake in the account, or that tlie
debtor will call over and see tile editor, or—any thing
else which comes uppermost. Now, we take occa
sion, once for all. to say to such gentry, that we don’t
mean to call more than a dozen times (or send) after
a pittance of two or three dollars ! It won’t pay for
shoe leather. We have also to say to the politicians ,
successful or defeated, that their indebtedness is one of
honor , which ought never to have existed, but which
being contracted, ought to be discharged, faithfully.
Some yet owe us for special service rendered last
summer; and though it is like 4 ‘ paying for a dead
horse,” it is nevertheless true that these are obligations
which must soon be cancelled. Let all concerned
take due notice, and govern themselves aecoraingly.
One of them!
\ Postmaster in South-western Georgia writes us
thus: “I must inform you that J. C. It does not take
his paper from the Post-office. The reason of that is,

An Abomination.
The Monster Iniquity of the present session of the
Legislature was undergoing parturition on Monday!
We mean the Bill fulsely entitled to “provide for the
education of the poor,” but which, properly named,
would be called a bill to. give five thousand dollars a
year to each of three or four sectarian colleges, for the
purpose of educating about 30 “poor and pious” young
men. as teachers of poor schools! The sum of 287,000
dollars of Bank stock is to be squandered on this |
quixotic scheme! Will the people sqbmit to it ?
The Cash System.
We have time and again published the fact that no
subscriptions will hereafter be received for the Georgia
Citizen, except accompanied with the cash or a respon
sible reference. Notwithstanding, however, this ste
reotyped notice, we frequently receive orders for the
paper to be sent to unknown individuals without any
remittance or word as to payment. In such eases we
usually send one copy of the Citizen with the terms
marked, to signify, in a courteous manner, that our
rule for advance payments is an indispensable condition
of our publication. This is generally sufficient to bring
the money from those who are honest men and dis
posed to comply with reasonable requisitions. Occa
sionally, however, we meet With customers of a diffe
rent stripe, who seem to imagine that a notification oi
our terms implies our doubt ot their integrity, ami who
take it in liiclt dudgeon that such has been sent them.
An instance of of this kind occurred last week. A
couple of gents. (?) called at our office, in our absence,
and left their names and residence as subscribers. We
sent the usual notice, and subsequently a copy to each,
of Saturday’s issue. The papers were refused aud an
insolent and abusive letter was sent us through the post
office, complaining that we had doubted their honesty,
&c. To all which wc have only to say—that we did
not intend any offence—we ga e mint we doubted
not the honesty of either of the parties then —but
now we do, because they seem to have such suspicions
themselves, aud they ought to know ! Men conscious
of integrity are not apt to suspect that others think
them rogues without cause. They have mir answer
and the public will have tlnir na .es, it they make it
necessary !
Tlielluion Parly & the Next Presidency.
Astounding Propositiont
The cloven foot revealed ! Treason abroad and
the Traitor unmasked !
For some weeks past we have been expecting to
witness some movement, on the part of a lew dixorga
nixers, having for i.s object the dissolution oi the Con
stitutional Union party of Georgia, and the betrayal
of all its most sacred principles into the hands ot the
enemy! We thought we saw indications which point
ed to the conclusion, that the Union party was to be
considered defunct, so soon as certain aspirants had
gained the ultima thule of tln ir ambition, ;nid had
mounted tile ladder high enough to ensure themselves
a safe aud profitable position (or an indefinite period.
We were cognizant of the fact that the Edi or of a
leading paper of the whig wing of the Union party
was formerly a Nashville Convention advocate—that
he invited said Convention to meet in Macon —that af
terwards finding it. un|H>pular, lie threw himself into
line, and with reckless audacity pushed himself to the
head of the column and aspired to lead the Union
forces. We knew also the various mnneeuvres of this
same individual, to be elected to a post ot honor and
profit, and of his subsequent success, by means of
combinations with enemies against his friends and late
associates, and by a course ofsv sterna tic faithlessness to
every pledge considered binding by honorable men.
All this we knew and more, yet we were not quite
prepared for that grand drama of treason to the U
nion party, which has been boldly divulged by this Edi
tor, in his issue of Wednesday last. Stripped of its
sophistry and mystification, his proposition is nothing
less than the betrayal of the whole Union party of
the State and of the South , into the hands of theco -
bined army of the Northern Free Soil and Southern
Disunion Democracy! It is a proposition to go into
the Baltimore Convention and affiliate with the Van
Burcns, the Blairs and the Bentons of the northern
Democracy, in the selection of some such Democrat as
Buchanan for the Presidency ! We say that such is
the naked proposition submitted to the Union men of
Georgia, although it is disguised under the flimsy cob
web of a purpose to defeat those northern faelionists as
well as those southern ultras , Commander. Rhett, Mc-
Donald, Quitman, el id omne genus, in that Conven
tion .and the procurement of the nomination of a sound
Democrat which the South can support for the Presi
dency!
A proposition so absurd aed ridiculous needs only
to be examined to be discarded with contempt. “ hat !
shall the Union party of Georgia smuggle themselves
into the approaching State l) moeratic Convention of
Georgia, with a view to control its action in the ap
pointment of delegates to the Baltimore Convention,
and with the avowed purpose of opposing such leaders
of the Sou them Rights party as McDonald and Col
quitt? Will the Union men be admitted into said
Democratic Convention, except on the condition of
union with the Fire-Eaters ? Can a W big Union Edi
tor give the proper password or ‘shibboleth’ of disunion ?
Perhaps he can, because he has proven himself capa
ble of doing any thing which lie supposes will advance
his selfish [lurjtoses. But, of what avail would it be. if
the overtures now being made to the Union Democrats,
to ‘let bygones be bygones’ and to unite with their
old democratic associates in a Presidential move
ment, are generally accepted ? How can the South
hope to succeed in the nomination against the free soil
wing of the North and West? It is an error of the
moon.’ It is a fallacy of a distempered brain. W it
ness the vote of the late Congressional Cuneus. The
Compromise test was voted down, and it will Is l voted
down, again, at Baltimore, in till probability. Ihe
Freesoilcrs have the preponderance of numbers and
can do as tin y please in that body. They will “hul l
the balance of power.’ and not the Southern d.lcgnr.s.
On this supposition, which all will admit is a rea
sonable one, what will he the position f tin* Southern
States wliieh send di l.gnics to Baltimore? VY ill they
not be pledged, in honor, to support the nominee? most
assuredly. They will have to submit to the will of the
majority, and thus the Union party of the whole South
will be manacled to the ear of the nominee whether m
eeptable or not. By taking tin- hazard they most abide
the result in good fait It, or be attainted with dishonor !
On the contrary, the coarse of the l nion party of
the South is clearly that of non-intervention with either
of the regular National Conventions. Their policy is to
effect and make permanent a Shite Inion or a South
ern Union organization. They should take no part or
lot in the business of President making, hut wait pa
tiently, calmly and with dignity, the action of each of
those Conventions, having first given notice that they
will never support a candidate for the Chief M ’gistia
ey who is suspected even ot hostility to the Compro.
rnise measures and the Union. Soeh a notice will
cause eftch of the great Conventions to seek to nomi
nate a candidate whn who will best secure the Southern
vote. We will thus have a chance of getting a good
nomination from both Conventions and can then take
our choice with some certainty of making ourselves f< It
in the canvass.
We say then to Union Whigs and Union Demo
crats—listen not to the syren song which seeks to
allure you to ruin! Be not betrayed into the arms
of your implacable enemies. Herd not with Disunion
ists in political affiliation. Let those who choose to
become apostates and traitors to our cause, depart in
peace. Let the Judas Iscariots pocket their “30
pieces of silver’’ and make the most of the stipend, but
in tiie name of reason, of patriotism, of public and
private interests—in the name of all that is honorable
in character and precious in principle, let the pure
hearted Union men of Georgia not be led away by the
“ wiles of the Devil.”
For ourselves, we are free to say, in answer to
many enquiries as to our position, for the future, that
under no imaginable circumstances can we bring our
selves to support a ma.i for the Presidency, whom the
Free Boilers and the Disunionists may delight to honor !
Under no aspect qf the case can we become ‘ hale fel
lows, well met*’ with those whose impious hands have
once been raised against the honor and existence ot
the Republic ! To our worthy cotemporary we yield
all the credit which may attach to his purpose of selling
himself, friends and party to the enemy. If the Union
Whigs can stomach the dose prepared for them, so be
it; but if any qualms of nausea succeed the deglutition,
let them not charge upon us that we have failed to
warn them, in season, of the destiny prepared for them.

Distressing* Accident.
<)n Saturday morning last, Marion J. Stewart, son
of tin- widow Polly 11. Stewart, of Jones oounty, came
to his death in the following melancholy manner. It
appears that the deceased, in company with £.n elder
brother, went out for the purpose of shooting rabbits
\ rabbit ran under a pile of brushwood, and for the
purpose of driving hint out one of the lads went on one
side and one on the other. They bad just given up
the search as fruitless, when the rabbit ran out just as
the deceased was rising. His brother firing on the inst.
the former received the whole contents of the gun in
his forehead, scattering his brains in all directions. The
Overseer, who was but a short distance off, immediately
had the body conveyed to the house. Mrs. Stewart
was absent, at her plantation in Twiggs, at the time of
the occurence. The deceased was a fine, manly, in
telligent youth about IT years, and his untimely death
has plunged the family in the greatest affliction. The
brother. Jasper 11. Stewart, who was the innocent
cause of this calamity, is in an almost distracted state.

on a charge of harboring and stealing negroes were
brought up. on Wednesday last, before Justices Ornn

ed in binding over of Daniel-J. King, Lewis G. Bright
and Samuel G. Snow, to answer to the Superior Court,
each in the sum of SSOO, on the charge of stealing,
in d< fault of which all three were committed. Toals t
one of the gang, charged with the lessor offence of
harboring negroes, turned States’ Evidence and it was
on his testimony, chiefly, that the others, were commit,
ted. A man ot the name of Andrews is also in jail
on a charge of harboring Slaves. The public should
be on the alert to stop the depredations of this crowd
of Mnrrel men. who are believed to be mastering pret

them was lately arrested at Louisville, Ky. for stealing
a negro from Chattanooga.

Atrocious !Hurdcr.—Tlie Constitutionalist and
Republic of Tuesday says, that on Sunday night, about
11 o’clock, two persons came to the House of Mr.
Herring, in Columbia county, on the Washington road,
nine miles above Augusta, and called him to the front
door and requested be allowed to stay all night,
lie asked them in. They told him to corne out, as
they had a horse and buggy with then;. As soon as
he got outside the door, he was shot down. Mrs.
Herring then barred the door, and prevented the en
trance of the murderers. About an hour afterwards
they returned and fired through an auger hole in the
door and killed her. She died in a few minutes after
being shot. They then entered the house and took
therefrom one hundred and seventy dollars.
Mr. Herring survived to give the above particulars
of this atrocious affair, and was still living at the last
accounts. He was shot twice, and has two balls in his
body. There is no prospect of bis recovery from his
wounds. He states that one of the men was a large
and powerful mulatto fellow, and the other a white
man.
Mr. and Mrs. Herring were an elderly couple, aged
about 60 yejtrs each, and were living by themselves,
there being nqptber persona, white or black, liying on
the premise*.
