‘ I should regret, Major—how deeply I need
not say,—if, after long years of the kindest in
tercourse, it should become necessary lor \ou
and me to part; but there can be no peace be

enough to seek a reconciliation, they would re

feating their treasonable schemes, and they hate
me with an intensity which will not tolerate
even the semblance of a truce. It your tent is
pitched in that camp, we must separate, but let
us separate as friends who expect to meet again;

out from among them unless you consent to the

LETTER FRO.II COLUMBUS.
Columbus, Feb. 7, 1852.
Dr. Andrews The streets of our beautiful city
present, once more, the appearance of business. Our
merchants look smiling and tlieir clerks are, I hope,
profitably employed. The lovers of “oysters in the
shell or stewed” gratify their propensities by calling
on those ever smiling, always ready, good fellows—
Code A Hoffman, or our old friend Jim Iloulter, and
the lovers of fish, flesh and fowl, on Ned \4 bite, whose
tables groan beneath tlie weight of every and any thing
that ean minister to the wants and taste of the most
dainty epicure. The admirers of the Drama, too, are
frequently regaled by the exhibitions of a company of
Histrionics , composed of the most talented young men
of our city, whose personation of characters would
draw down rounds of applause in any of our larger
theatres. We have, too, a “young men’s Lyceum’’
where the “ literati ’’ assemble, to discuss the merits
of every important question of the day. Here is “the
feast of reason and flow of soul.’’
A short time since, they celebrated their Anniversa
ry. An address was delivered on the occasion by Mr.
Cunningham. It was pure,chaste, and beautiful; de
livered in that manly style, peculiar to bis nation ! All,
all combine to make this weary pilgrimage agreeable,
and to make glad the hearts of the humble and the op
pressed. Things have certainly changed for the better,
and from the almost continual neighing of the young
Iron Snorter a person would, at times, suppose him
self in your own good city of Macon.
There is some stir in the political world, and a few
are of opiniou that the Union party of Georgia should
send delegates to die Baltimore Convention, for the pur
pose of eontroling, and giving direction to the delibera
tions of that assembly. Now, any old democrat, with
brains in h's head, will laugh when he hears old wool
dyed Whigs talk such nonsense, and may rest assured,
that, if they should attempt such folly, they will find
the force of the old adage “liberties allowed to fools
in the kitchen, are not toleroted in tile parlor.” But,
we should not have any objections to whigs becoming
democrats, none whatever, providing they confess their
sins openly, show signs of repentance, re nounco nil
worldly interest , and sign the articles of faith. Then
they should be received into the fold of the faithful, yea,
even at the eleventh hour. Buchanan appears to be
a popular man for the presidency among some of the
Union Whigs. A wag gives as a reason for his popu
larity with that party, that Buchannan once thanked
his God. that there u>as not one drop of democratic
blood in his veins” I do not pretend to know about that
matter, but, if he is nominated by a Hurrisburgh con
vention I think they will vote fur him. There is much
speculation afloat, as to who will be the candidate for
the Presidency, and the claims of the many aspirants
arc severely scrutinized. Crittenden, it is thought, will
be nominated by the whigs, which will draw off a
large vote front the present Union party of the South,
and leave Buchan nan’s case hopeless. Therefore he
will not be the candidate of the democratic party, but
if I were asked for my opinion as to who stands the
best chance to be elected, I would at once say IHh
LITTLE GIANT OF THE WEST—DOUGLAS !
He has battled for the South when some of her sons
were wavering. Ilis clarion notes were heard, from
the halls of Washington to the woods of Illinois, in
deience of her rights. Add to this the purity of his de
mocracy and all will say that he is the man*
It is the opinion of the wiseacres that the Union
party of this county is. broken up, completely, because
some little fellews who thought themselves leaders ,
voted open tickets against the regular nominated candi
date for sheriff. Well, ever since the first string of
Fire-Eating resolutions made their appearance, we have
doubted their stability, and the first chance of “loaves
and fishes,’’ satisfied our n ind. There is certainly a
bad feeling in the party, and many seasons ean be as
signed for it. Something must he done and that short
ly, or it will dissolve. We stand much in need of an
independant press, a ‘‘‘Georgia” Democratic “Citizen ‘
Had’ we such a 1 ver here, to eneourage and support the
energies of the people, we might not fear the en
croachments of the desperate Fire-Eaters, nor the de
feat of our candidates by pseudo politicians or insidi
ous demogogues. This is certainly a very strange
world, ar.d political parties are strange things, but when
the people are fully enlightened upon the questions of
the day, ihey are very apt to decide right. lam at
a loss to know “ hat Mr, Stevens meant by saying lie
has no party. Has he quit the Union party and got on
the fence ? B6b Toombs and Gov. Cobb ought to pro
vide for him. One of the “ Triumvirate ” should not
receive the cold shoulder, now, at “the heel of the
hunt.” The articles of agreement don’t call for it, T t
is nothing to me, you know, only I don’t lil’V ingrati
tude ia any body. A bargain, is a bat gain, in any
country, and men ought to stand up to it.
If any thing worth relating turns up I will write you
again, next week, and until then, with the best wishes
for your I remain yours, Ac.,
HANCOCK.
•Note hy the fvi lor. Douglas’ position on the auhject of in

National Feeling Abroad.
It will do very well for disunionists and South Caro
lina secessionists to denounce the Union at home, and
affect to feel no love of country beyond the narrow lim
its of their own State. But let them go abroad, and
they will soon tiud that their patriotism is enlarged,
and that they have a love and pride for the United
States, which they were not aware of whilst denounc
ing their federal government at home, and preaching
disunion and secession.
In illustration of this idea, we were told a good an
ecdote, by our friend Dr. Lieber, which occurred ou
his recent visit to Europe. In the city of London, he
met a young South Carolinian who had left home a
few weeks before ready for disunion and separate seces
sion, and who would, perhaps, have regarded it as a
personal insult, and a reflection on liis patriotism, to
have been told, in the United States, that he had any
love in his heart for any thing beyond Mason and Dix
on's line. This young Carolinian, when met by Dr.
Lieber, had just seen or heard the result of the yacht
racing between the American and English boats. Like
all races, it had produced considerable interest and feel
ing, and was much talked of in the fashionable circles.
As soon as they shook hands, the young Carolinian,
with a heart full of national pride and patriotism, ex
claimed, “ We have beat them ’. we have beat them !”
Understanding the allusion, and wishing to reprove his
disunion doctrines at home, the learned Professor re
plied, “We? We have beat them? I thought that
was a New York boat, which had won the victoiy !’
The hit, happy and appropriate, was admitted by the
young Carolinian.
This pretended devotion and exclusive love for South
Carolina, and looking upon all the other States of this
Confederacy as no portion of our country, and entitled
to no love or admiration in our hearts, is all sheer non
sense, and not true in reality. Some of these very
persons who put on this affectation, and would have us
believe that Georgia and North Carolina are no por
tions of their country, were themselves born in Geor
gia or North Carolina, or perhaps New York or New
England, and have likewise, in many instances, years
past, abandoned South Carolina, moved off. and forced
by want of success in life, to come back to their adop
ted and repudiated State.
We met a young gentleman this winter in the Leg
islature, who had travelled abroad during the past sum
mer. He left home, as we understood, very much of
a Chinese Carolinian, thinking that the sovereign Slate
ol South Carolina was all the world to him, and that
he was ready for her to assume her nationality at any
and all times. Ilis trip to Europe, we were informed,
had greatly moderated his exclusive and fiery patriot
ism. Instead of being an ultra secessionist, he has
become a moderate co-operationist. Such, we ven
ture, will be the change of all who go abroaJ and re
turn to their beloved State and glorious \jn\on.-Green

MACON, GEO. FEB. 14, 1852.
Pub Doc.- -Our thanks are due to the Hon. S.
A. Douglass, for several Public Documents.
To Correspondents.
A subscriber at Danielsville, Ga. is informed that
his paper is regularly mailed every Saturday and ought
to reach him in season and regularly. We regret the
failure of its reception but can do nothing to remedy
the difficulty. We are at the mercy of the Postmas
ters and the weather.
Supreme Court. —The Don. Judges of the
Supreme Court of Georgia have been holding a regular
term of the Court in this city, since Monday of this
week. An adjournment will not probably take place
before the middle of next week. All the Judges are
in attendance.
More Cotton Burnt.—On Thursday last, fivo or
six Car-loads of Cotton were burnt on the Central Rail
road, on the way to Savannah.
Powers- Greek Slave.- -This celebrated work
of art, by our countryman Hiram Powers, is now on
exhibition at Concert Hall in this city. ‘The ostensi
ble subject is a Grecian maiden made captive by the
Turks and exposed at Constantinople, for sale. The
cross and the locket visible amid the drapery show she
is a Christian and beloved.’ The figure is about five
feet, five inches in height, and is cut from a single
piece of Serraverza Marble, quarries of which adjoin
those of Carrara, in the Duchy of Lucca, iu Italy.
The first copy in Marble was sold to John Grant, Esq.
of the Royal Navy and exhibited in London in 1844.
Two other copies or duplicates have since been execut
ed from the original plaster model. One of tlieso is
the property of a gentleman in Washington—the oth
er is on exhibition, for the benefit of Mr. Powers,
whose property it is.
Os this Statue a distinguished American Clergy
man said, that Svere a hundred libertines to collect
around’it, attracted by its nudity, they would stand
abashed and rebuked in its presence.’
‘Naked, yet clothed with chastity, Shf. stands;
And as a shield throws back the sun’s hot rays,
Her modest mien repels each vulgar gaze.
Her inborn soul of purity demands
Freedom from touch of sacrilegious hands,
And homage of pure thoughts.
* * * * *
O! god-like power of Art! —
Beneath whose touch the spirit’s inward strife
Reveals itself—even as earth’s tides obey
The influence of the moon, so dost thou sway
The deep and passionate waters of the heart,
For the unconscious marble throbs with life 1’
Every one that has any taste for the beautiful should
see this wonderful work of Art—a work that has
won the admiration of all classes of refined and intel
ligent people. It is indeed seldom that we, in this part
of the world have an opportunity like this now pre
sented of viewing a splendid specimen of statuary.
We should therefore embrace it, and our ‘City Fath
ers’ should encourage the exhibition by their favor
and approval. It is clearly one of that class that is
entitled to a premium, instead of being subject to a tax,
as provided by the City Ordinance, in common cases.
Swiss Bell Ringers. —All who have ever heard
the delightful entertainments which the Campanalo
gians or Swiss Bell Ringers gave to the people of Geor
gia several years since, will be gratified to learn that a
company of equal if not superior artistic skill will be
with us next week, for the purpose of offering several
musical concerts. This celebrated and popular troupe
have travelled extensively in the United States, and have
everywhere elicited great applause for their admirable
performances. In addition to the Bells, Ilerr Franz
Stoepel will perform on the wonderful instrument of
nothing but wood and straw.
From the testimonials of the press which have been
shown us, we are satisfied that there is no “humbug’’
about the company, and they are not to be confounded
with the Hungarian troupe which passed through this
place last year. See advertisement.
St. Valentines’. Bay.
Casting about for somet'airig appropriate to this im
portant day in tin- calnwUar, we met with the following
description --.f Cupid’s Festival from the “Home Ga
zette’ of Augusta, which we hasten to lay before our
young readers, for their edification and amusement,
hoping that each votary of St. Valentine may have a
good time of it, during the occasion :
“ The Fourteenth of February has long been regard
ed with peculiar favor hy those who acknowledge the
power of Cupid, and more especially by those, who are
‘outside’ of the ‘holy state of matrimony.’ Tin day
has long been used by love-stricken swains and tender
hearted maidens, for the purpose of sending love mis
siles and such like sentimental documents. The year
ly return of this love making season affords a very wel
come opportunity to the votaries of Cupid to declare
to each other their preferences, by teuder missiles of
affection, constancy and hope.
The custom is one of remote origin and was long
ago celebrated amid a variety of ceremonies. Its ori
gin is probably known to most of our readers.
An ancient authority says that St. Valentine was a
priest of Rome, one of whose duties it was to celebrate
the feasts in honor of Juno. Among other ceremonies
on the occasion, the names of young women were
placed in vases, from which they wtqje drawn by young
men. Accordingly, the day is still used as a suitable
occasion to declare preferences and choose partners.
St. \ alentine’s day, like Christmas, and mes but once
a year, and for this reason is observed with much and
commendable diligence upon its annual return. It truly
“ell deserves its name—the King-day of lovers, Cu
pid s own peculiar season. Letters, filled with thoughts
of tenderness and affection—brimming full of burning
words and inflated perchance with ‘sadly-sounding
sighs letters, ad made up of bowers or roses, assur
ing adoration, duty and affection evermore—wing their
way to the I ost Office, and awake a magic transport
or a sweet languor or at least a curiosity in the bosoms
of the various recipients. J ust imagine the number
of belles and beau who will sit, next (this) Saturday
“Expecting, in their heart of hearts, the notes
Called Valentines, that February brings
Upon its fourteenth day!”
jtSF’ Tho Ohio State House, which was burned, on
Sunday, was an old building. Anew and magnificent
capital is in progress of erection. It will be, next to
the capital at W ashington, the finest in the Union. It
is 304 by 184 feet, and covers 55,636 square feet.—
Last year $99,383 were expended on it, and this year
an aditional appropriation of from $250,000 to SSOO,-
000 is asked for.
Senator Clemens* Letter. —An admirable
fetter from this Alabama Senator will be found on our
first page. It speaks our sentiments exactly, in refer
ence to the duty of Southern Union men in reference
to the next Presidency and the nominating conventions,
except in a few unimportant particulars. With him,
we say, that if Georgia, Alabama, ar.d Mississippi, will
unite on a proper basis, these three States can control
the election. Not, however, by going to either of the
National Conventions, Whig or Democratic, but by
standing aloof, till they nominate their men and then
making choice between their candidates or nominating
a third. We commend Mr. Clemens’ views to the
attention of politicians, in general, and ‘ soap-tail’ l nion
men, in particular, who wish to climb into the Balti
more Convention, by hanging on to the caudal extre
mities of a set of spavined political coursers, calling
themselves Democrats !
Fine Pictures.— Mr. Miller, from the well
known establishment of Mr. Cary, Savannah, has
taken the Room in front of this office for Daguerreo
type operations. His specimens are exceedingly rich
and elegant, and every way worthy of the notice of
those who desire a good picture , as will be abundant
ly rfianifest from a close and critical inspection of the
artist’s work.
New Discovery.— A Mr. Edmonds of Charles
ton has discovered a method of executing Daguerreo
type Pictures, whereby an indelible golden tint is giv
en to them, and a mellowness of tone, richness of
drapery and harmony is imparted, not surpassed by the
finest Oil painting! By this method all that crude
effect, so conspicuous in the ordinary Daguerreotype is
avoided, and a picture resembling a fine painting on
Copper is the result.
Our neighbor, Mr. R. L. Wood resident Daguerreo
typist, has purchased the right to use this discovery
ami samples of the style can be seen at his office. They
are very beautiful.
.Journal and MesacDffcr. — Mr. j.T.Nisfett
the new Editor of this paper has come out, in his first
issue, in decided but moderate opposition to the pro
position of the late Editor to send delegates to the Bal
timore Convention. lie does not therefore folio-'’,
blindly, in the ‘footsteps of his illustrious predecessor 1
but seems determined to bring the Journal back to ti e
‘first principles’ of honesty and common sense, from
which it has lately deviated so shamefully. Wo wish
him abundant prosperity in the work before him.
What WC Shall Sec!—We have been taking
an observation or two, lately, in tho political heavens
and feel very much like turning prophet, for once. We
predict that tho Baltimore Convention will nominate
Douglass for President, and Howell Cobh for Vice Pre
sident, and further that the Southern Fire-Eaters will
swallow the Cobb without the corn and never make a
vvry-face at a dose which they have so lately declared
to be very disagreeable !
Alabama Southern Rights Convention.
A Convention has been called at Montgomery on
the 4th day of March next, of all those “opp<mJ to
the re-c rganization of old National parties, as wK as
to tho organization of Union parties at the South and
who believe it due to the South and to her best inter
ests that there should exist a distinct Southern organi
zation, formed for the purpose of protecting and per
petuating her own peculiar institutions.”
Tliis call is headed by the Hon. Mr. Yancy, Ex-Gov.
Gayle and a large number of other gentlemen of that
party. The course recommended has the merit of con
sistency and honesty, if nothing else. And the Union
men of Georgia should profit by tho example.
Wore Evidence.
The Washington correspondent of the Charleston
Courier has the following significant item respecting
the popular feeling in Congress, on the subject of the
Compromise :
“ The House was again occupied with the subject
of the Census printing. The proposition is to give this
printing to Messrs. Donelson A Armstrong, of the
Union, at a fair contract rate. It is supposed that the
job will be very profitable one, therefore, the opponents
of the political course of the Union are reluctant to give
it to that establishment. Mr. Venable,and others who
represent the state rights interests, have taken the < e
easion to indicate their opposition to the course taken
by the Union in favor of the compromise measures.—
The frec-soilers unite in the same opposition, and de
clare that they will not consent to reward men for their
support of the compromise. It will be difficult to pass
the measure against a combination so formidable. This
affair has shown that the Democratic parl v of the House
is not very well united, and that the same principles
may produce distraction in the Democratic Convention.’’
This is, doubtless, a correct judgment of men and
things. The “F rce soih-rs and the State Rights (alias
Southern Rights ) men unite in opposition to the propo
sition to reward men for their support of tho Compro
mise!” Stick a pin there, all ye suppliants at the shrine
of the Baltimore Convention.
Married at last.- —Jenny Lind was married,
last week, in Boston, after the Episcopal service, by
the Rev. l)r. Wainright, in the presence of Ex-Gov
ernor Everett; N. J. Bouditeh, her legal adviser;
Mr. and Mrs. S. W. Ward ; and the Swedish Consul.
Mr. Goldschmidt her husband, had performed with her
at several of her recent concert-*.
The New York Herald doubts this intelligence which
was forwarded by telegraph, but it is probably true.
Baltimore Convention.
We copy the following item, to show what will be
the complexion of the Democratic influence from Ohio,
at tho Baltimore Convention:
“The Ohio Democratic State Convention, at its ses
sion on the 9th January,passed resolutions denouncing
slavery as an evil which ought to be eradicated and its
extension prevented hy all lawful means, and at the
same time appointed delegates to attend the National
Democratic Convention.”
The Honestv op Printers. —At the Franklin ban
quet at New York, on the lGth inst., Mr. Bigelow, of
the New York Evening Post, said that he had had the
honor of being, for three years,lnspector of State Prisons
in New York, and among all confined there, every
order of mechanics was represented except printers.
There was something in that fact which merited their
consideration. Mr. B. concluded by proposing, ‘the
memory and honor of that calling which is unrepre
sented in the State prison.’
The above extract is going the rounds of the press,
with considerable self-glorification on the part of the
craft. We fear, however, that it lacks an essential
item —that of truth—to make it pass as current coin.
Tint printers are as honest as any other class we have
no doubt, but we have the same opinion of 6ome of
them that old Dr. Johnson had of some of his relations
when his lady-love demurred to a marriage with him
because one of her relations had been hanged. “Pooh !
pooh I’’ says the Doctor, “I have no relations that
have been hanged, but many that ought to be.” Per
haps the printers are too smart to be caught at their
rascality, and this may account for the fact stated in the
above paragraph. Be this as it may, we would have
it specially understood that mere editors, who are not
disciples of Faust, are not included in Mr. Bigelow’s
eulogy !
The ‘Gypsey Girl’ —That was the greatest
show of the season—which we haJ here up to Wed
nesday last 0C?” the seventh daughter of a Gypsey ,
and a Fortune Teller, alias Madame Decker , accom
panied by a strolling vagabond from Yankee land,
passing himself for her husband. The fellow made a
bill of a few dollars at this office, and was about taking
French leave the other day, without settling, when
we happened to hear of it and sent that energetic
Officer, Wallace , with a bail writ just in time to make
him fork over. The scamp left for Savannah, (so he
said) and we therefore commend him to the kind con
sideration of our friend, Major Jones, while sojourn
ing in that city. The Major will please present our
oomplimente to Mr. Decker and the ‘Gypsey Girl,’
and show them this our Receipt for the money paid
us!
A gang of negroes were sold in Charleston
on Thursday, at an average price of SIBO each.
Supreme Court Decisioa.
Leonard vs. Boynton.
‘From Talbot. 1. The person hiring a negro for a
year, is responsible for the hire for the whole year ; al
though the negro may die before its expiration. Wor
rell for Plaintiff, B. Dili for Defendant.’
The above is one of the decisions of the Supreme
Court of Georgia, at its session,last week, in Colum
bus. It may be and doubtless is the law of the case
but that there is any justice in that law and the anal
agous one that a tenant is bound for the rent of a
house for a year, which house is burnt down next day
after he takes possession, we do not believe. It is a law
for the protection of the rich man at the expense of
the poor one. It is a law in principle compelling the
tenant to ensure another man’s house from burning, or
to ensure tho life of a servant for a wealthy owner who
is able to ensure for himself. This, at least, is the com
mon sense view of the question.
A similar enactment is the one of the late Legisla
ture prohibiting the carrying of knives, pistols, Ac. ex
cept they are publicly exposed. Thfe will perhaps pre
vent civil and peaceable men from carrying deadly weap
ons, but will he no hindrance to their being carried by
i uffians and bullies. Besides, we believe that the Su
preme Court lias decided that sueli a law is unconstitu
tional as it infringes upon the right of an American
citizen to carry arms (or self-protection and self-defence.
All such laws are the offspring of ‘Buncombe legisla
tion—designed to tickle the fancy of old women and
saints , at home, and not with any idea that they will
ever ho carried into effect.
The Fish and Shad Difficulty.
We alluded week before last, to the prohibition hy
the City Council of Savannah, of the traffic in fish,
oysters, Ac. which lias quite extensively been carried
on by citizens of Macon, for the supply of tliis and up
country markets. Wta have since had an opportunity
of perusing the market ordinance of the City Council
of Savannah, and can now speak hy the card on the
subject. It is a fact, that the said council have made it
a penal offence for any one to buy meat, fish, poultry,
game, wild fowl, eggs, vegetables, fruit or provisions of
any kind at the market, on tlieir way to market or any
where else within the limits of said city, in quantities
greater than shall be requisite for the use and con
sumption of the families of such persons .’ Under
tliis ordinance an agent of Messrs. Ells A Son of this
city was arraigned and fine five dollars and costs by his
Honor the Mayor. From tliis judgment defendant
Appealed to Council, when after a w’arm discussion, the
fine was reduced to sl, establishing, however, the prin
ciple of the law and showing a determination to carry
it out.
In justice to the Hon. John W. Anderson, it must
be said that he contended manfully against tho prose
cution, and gave notice of his intention to offer an
amendment to the ordinance which would remove the
existing prohibition. On the other hand we feel bound
to say that the lion. R. 11. Cuyler, President of the
Central Road was violently opposed to any abatement
of tho penalty or alteration of the ordinance, notwith
standing the house in this city who are the real defen
dants in the case, do pay the Central Railroad about
S3OOO a year on just such freight as the agent wished
to forward to this city ! The secret of this strange
opposition was revealed by the gentleman in his speech
before the Council, and consisted in the fact that tho
Lanier House of Macon had been able to obtain the
first shad of this season, before the epicurean gentle
men of Savannah could get a morsel of the delicacy !
Is not this a nice business for “everlasting great men”
to be engaged in ? We are astonished that any such
odious enactment should he enforced against non-resi
dent traders. Asa preventive of a monopoly of pro
visions by Hucksters, the law is will enough, perhaps,
but when its restrictions are applied to citizens of the
interior, who, go into the Savannah inaiket, in fair
competition with others, and purchase what may be
needed, it is absurd and unreasonable, especially as the
same nabobs of Savannah are, weekly, in receipt of
choice game, fish and fowl purchased in the New York
market, for their special use, in any quantity which may i
he desired ! We venture the assertion, moreover, that
unless the restrictive laws on this subject are soon re
pealed, Savannah will lose more than she will gain hy
swell pitiful liicaimcrs^A^
The Union I’fcss of Georgia.
The following is the present position of the Union
Press of Georgia on the question of sending Delegate*
to the Baltimore Convention :
Savannah Republican —Ou the fence.
Chronicle Sentinel —Against.
Athens Banner —Abusing the Northern Demo
crats, Chase, Rantoul and others, yet “well pleased’”
with the proposition to affiliate with them in making a
President.
Atlanta Republican —Right side up with care, and
against the infamous proposition.
Rome Courier —Ditto, ditto, though its tone ha*
been modified a little, by the opposition of some dema
gogues who “rule or ruin’’ in that section.
Constitutional Union — (Marietta.) Leaning to
wards the proposition, “like a sick kitten to a hot
brick.”
American Union —(Griffin.) Firmly and decidedly
opposed to the movement.
Casscille Standard —The echo of tho Athens
Banner.
Lagrange Reporter —Opposed to sending Dele
gates.
Columbus Enquirer —Not yet spoken out, though
we are assured that the views of the editor are hostile
to a dissolution of the Union party on the plan pro
posed.
Milledgeville Recorder — “Muni’s the word !’’
S. W. Georgian —Opposed to the treasonable pro
ject.
Georgia Citizen —First to denounce the proposi
tion as ail infamous betrayal of the Union party into
the hands of Frec-soilers and fiction is ts of every grade,
and the last that will succumb to the degrading proposi
tion, even though every other press in the State should
prove recreant to honor and duty !
Journal ij- Messenger —Redeemed and regenera
ted from its late Cilse position. It will hereafter be a
firm hut uncompromising fee of any allianoe with Frec
soilers or Disunionists.
Evening Journal — (Savannah.) This sheet may
also be set down, we think as unfriendly to the move
ment. proposed hy tile Milledgeville caucus. On the
other hand, the Fed. Union, Telegraph, Times, Geor
gian and other presses of the “Southern Rights’’ school,
are decidedly opposed to the idea of allowing Union
men, as such, to go into the Baltimore Convention !
In view of all which, let us watch and pray lest the
ark of our political liberties he taken by the Philistines
and destroyed.
Equivocal.- -One of our exchanges has the fol
lowing late intelligence concerning our late third street

Mr. Silas Lion to Miss Edith Lamb,

Impositions on the Press.
‘*Ve have had it in our miud, for weeks, to sketch a
few of the many impositions constantly practised by
the community and by corporate authorities upon the
public press, that are never attempted upon any other
class. This we do, with a view to show that ‘our suf
ferings is intolerable’ and to stir up the minds of our
cotemporaries to an enquiry as to the proper remedy
for a growing evil to our profession.
In the first place, Editors are imposed on by the miser
able credit system, which has been so long prevalent, in
the matter of newspaper subscriptions. In conse
quence of this custom we are almost daily in the re
ceipt of orders for papers to be sent to distant Post
Offices, from persons who are entire strangers to us,
and who would no more think of sending to a Macon
merchant for 8 yards of calico at seven pence a yard,
without the cash accompaying the order, than they
would think of Hying to the inoon ! We have been
green enough to fill such orders, but have got over that,
long ago. The Citizen cannot be had on such terms,
with or without the promise to pay at the end of the
term.
2dly. Persons often impose on the public press
by insisting upon the gratuitous publication of matters
of a strictly personal nature and for personal advant
age in which the public have no interest whatever.
Such are long Obituary notices, communications lauda
tory of private speculations, Reports of School and
College operations, Rail Road projects etc.
3d. The unwillingness of County authorities to pay
just and lawful bills against them, for Grand Jury
Presentments, It is soldoin we can collect a debt
of this kind until after more trouble than the thing is
worth, and. at this writing, some two or three counties
have repudiated their indebtedness to us.
4th, The habit by Clerks,Sheriffs and other county
officers of exacting 25 per cent from printers for giv
ing certain direction to legal notices has become a sore
grievance upon the press. But a short time since, the
proposition was made to an office in Macon, and accept
ed, (not the Citizen) to send to said office all the adver
tisements of the Courts (such as Administrators’ aud
Executors’ notices,) provided the printer would furnish
gratuitously all the blanks used, yearly, by said Clerks
and pay them 25 per cent, discount on the legal rates
of advertising, for all notices sent by them. This is
down-right swindling, because the Clerks are paid for
all copies they take of public documents and have no
right to levy such a tax upon the press, having ren
dered no equivalent therefor. In all these cases tile
parties requiring legal notices, as Administrators &e.
pay the rates of advertising allowed by law and are
not benefited by the discount exacted by the Clerks.
It is then a matter in which all ar interested, and the
privilege certainly ought to be conceded to such par
ties, to select for themselves what medium of advertis
ing they choose. In truth, they have this privilege
and should exercise it despite the wishes or interests
of the county officers.
sth. The practice pursued by the City Council, and
State of prescribing the rates which they will pay for
the printing done for them seems to us to be very un
just and onerous. In the case of the Council, all job
work and advertising has heretofore been done at from
50 to 66 per cent, less than usual rates, for such work.
Now, what other trade or profession is ever called oil
or expected to do work for the corporation, after this
fashion ? Were proposals received and the contract
given to the lowest bidder the case would be ait red,
but as it is, the press has yielded the right to the Coun
cil to put what price they pleas* on the work of the
printer.
It may however, be asked, why do you submit to
such terms? We answer, simply because it has been
the custom, and the proceedings of Council are of
general interest to the reader. This however does not
alter the principle or make the practice just. And so
conscious have our eotemporarics become of the burden
thus imposed, that they have, we understand, thrown
up the job, altogether. They have found out that the
printing of s.’>oo worth of proceedings for $ I till is not the
thing it is cracked up to be. By an extraor linory
plethora of legislation, these proceedings have become
distended to such an insufferable degree, that unless
the remuneration is increased in pro rata proportion,
the printer will actually pay S2OO out of his pocket
during ‘.lie year fur setting up the type!
All these evils can however be remedied, if the pro
prietors of news and job piinting office* will only corn/?
to an understanding upon the subject, ami determine
to charge all Corpora; ions and County and State officers
the usual and regular prices for their professional ser
vices. For one, we are ready to join the craft in a
ten thousand dollar bond to do no work hereafter for
! any Corporation at lower rates than are chargeable to
other customers. What say you gentlemen ? lias not
the time arrived when the ‘art preservative of arts’
should be elevated from the thraldom and depression
which lias o long borne it in the dust? Is it not time,
that tlie useful ami honorable profession should be re
deemed from its proverbial connexion with poverty
and servility ? No business requires more attention,
care and labor. None receives so little remuneration
ill proportion to the labor bestowed. Such lias been
the history of the press in the South, but such will not
continue to be the ease if the typographical fraternity
will only will it to be otherwise. Will) the greatest lever
in their hands that the world ever knew, it is not only
a sin but a shame, that the power they possess is not
used for their own elevation to the position to which
they are justly entitled.
The Tennessee Democracy.—The State

ebrated Thanksgiving Day with some friends
in New York city.
“We have no thanksgiving in our State,’
responded the Virginian, with something of a
chuckle.
“ I suppose,’ ‘retorted the New Y'orker,’
‘that is owing to the fact that you have noth
ing to be thankful for.’
“‘No, Sir! you are out there rejoined the
party of the second part, ardent as a Southern

we dont have no thanksgiving in Virginia is,
that there is no provision made for it in the
Constitution of the State, and it is no where
recognised in the Resolutions of‘9B,’’’
