ending the sawing asunder of gold dollars for the pur- j
pose of filling up the inside with spurious metal. But
the thing has been done—that is, the gold has not
only been stolen out of the dollars but the ideas of the
first poem from the latter. What is to become of this
world ? We are told, by respectable historians, that
there was, at one time, in Rome, an Epicure, by the j
name of Apiciu, who used to live upon Nightingale s
brains, (although none of these writers inform us
that he ever was ‘transmogrified’ into one by his del:- ;
cate dietetics,) but what are we to say of that philo- j
logical Epicure who should have the canibtu audaci
ty to feed on the brains of his fellow beings? All
that we have to do, on the present occasion, is, to ro
cord the fact here, in silence, for the wonder of the
coming generations. It is now on record —a ‘‘fixed
fact,’ therefore, let the nations mourn. That there
Aaae been, and arc now, Cannibals, is no longer a
Myth, but a living, veritable, authorized history.
There are many places, in this wide world, where a
man of observation, sagacity and intellectual insight
may study human nature, in all its multifarious phases,
to his heart’s content, but I do not know of any better
place than a public Hotel, —such an one as can he
found any where here at the North, particularly the
Tontine.
In proof of what I have just said, I would merely
mention here that it was no longer than the other
evening that I became absolutely overwhelmed with
the ‘sounding brass and tinkling cymbal’-voice of a
young college lark who was pouring out his whole soul
in a most furious cataract of eloquence to a very beau
tiful young lady, whom he, no doubt, supposed he was
t iking captive in the golden meshes of his brazen ar
gument.
He first touched upon Webster, (of course the lady,
having just returned from Boarding School, knew no
thing at all about politics, and eared less,) dilating, at
great length, through his nose, upon the merits of
the man, and the lasting joys that would result to the
Union from his election—then pitched rather vehe
mently into the bosom of Mr. Pierce, of New Hamp
shire—turning two or three very lofty ‘vaulting-ambi
tion’ summersets from the top of the white Mountains
down into the romantic regions of Virginia—tl.en, leap
ing across the Atlantic Ocean, he rushed, like l Hell in
harness ,’ through England an! France, over into Ger
many, and, finally, anchored his grand display of in
tellectual fire-works into the middle of the heart of
Hungary, from which he blew Kossuth over the Moon.
Vive la Infer !
Os course the young lady was taken captive with
out the least resistance—never having even made use
of that redoubtable right, known, by all persons, to be
the inalienable legacy of every antagonist, namely, self
defence.
But if that very respectable young lady was igno
rant of this not altogether remarkable fac{, namely,
that her young Lothario was a fool—she can have her
mind enlightened by lookiug into this letter. Verbum
tnpieniiw.
The fellow, no doubt, believed in the Humbug of
the ‘‘Spiritual Rappings’ from the length of the
time that he kept rapping at her iieart—but lie was
totally ignorant of the most important fact in the world
to him , namely, that there was a clairvoyant in the
room who saw through the lifted windows of his bo
som into the very inmost chambers of his soul.
Tlte following letter, which I now send you, from a
gentleman in Providence, who was a friend of the late
Edgar A. Poe, goes to confirm what I wrote you, in
one of my letters last year, in regard to Griswold's edi
tion of his writings, entitled ‘ The Literati of New
York.’
Dear Sir :—ln an article on American Literature
in The Westminister Review for April, and in one on
Edgar A. Poe in Tait's Magazine for the same month,
we find a repetition of certain incorrect and injurious
statements in regard to the deceased author, which
should no longer be suffered to pass unnoticed. These
statements have circulated through half a dozen foreign
and domestic periodicals, and are presented with an in
genious variety of detail. Asa specimen, we take a
passage from Tait, who quotes as his authority Doctor
Griswold’s memoir of the Poet:
“ Poe’s life, in (act, during the three years that yet
remained to him, was simply a repetition of his previ
ous existence,, notwithstanding which his reputation
still increased, and he made many friends. He was
indeed, at one time, engaged to marry a lady who is
termed ‘one of the most brilliant women in New Eng
land.’ lie, however, suddenly changed his determi
nation ; and, after declaring his intention to break the
match, he crossed the same day into the city where the
lady dwelt, and, on the evening that should have been
the evening before the bridal, ‘committed in drunken
ness such outrages at her house as made necessary a
summons of the police.”’
The subject is one which cannot well be approached
without invading the sanctities of private life ; and the
improbabilities of the story may, to those acquainted
with the parties, be deemed an all-sufficient refutation.
But, in view of the rapidly increasing circulation which
this story lias obtained, and the severity of comment
•which it has elicited, the friends of the late Edgar A.
Poe deem it an imperative duty to free his memory
from this unjust reproach, and oppose to it their un
qualified denial. Such a denial is due, not only to the
memory of the departed, but also to the lady whose
home is supposed to have been desecrated by these dis
graceful outrages.
Mr. Poe was frequently my guest during his stay in
Providence. In his several visits to the City I was
with him daily. I was acquainted with the circumstan
oes of his engagement, and with the causes which led
to its dissolution. lain authorized to say, not only
from my personal knowledge, hut also from the state
mints of all who were conversant with the affair, that
there exists not a shadow of foundation for the stories
above alluded to. ✓
Mr. Toe’s friends have no desire to palliate his faults,
nor to conceal the fact of his imtemperance—a vice
which, though never habitual to him, seems, accord
ing to Dr. Griswold’s published statements, to have
repeatedly assailed him at the most momentous epochs
of his life. With the single exeeption of this fault,
which he so fearfully expiated, his conduct, during the
period of my acquaintance with him, was invariably
that of a man of honor and a gentleman ; and I know
that, in the hearts of ail who knew him best among
us, he is remembered with feelings of melancholy in
terest and generous sympathy.
Events followed each ither so rapidly toward the
close of his romantic career, the relations of his life
were so strangely complicated, the jealous devotion of
his friends and the inveterate dislike of his enemies gave
rise to such various and conflicting statements, that the
task of his biographer could have been no easy or en
viable one. In view of these difficulties, (notwithstand
ing the ability with which Dr. Griswold has acconi
aecomplished his arduous duty as the memorialist of
Ibis most eccentric and gifted man,) correctnt ss of state
ment in regard to the recent events of Toe’s life can
hardly be looked for.
We understand that Dr. Griswold has expressed his
sincere regret that these unfounded reports should have
been sanctioned by his authority; and we doubt not,
if he possesses that fairness of character and upright
ness of intention which wo have ascribed to him, that
he will Jo what lies in his power to remove an unde
served stigma from the memory of the departed.
Providence, June 2, ’52. Wm. J. Pabodie.
This will show you that the horns which he wore
upon his brow, were not the ensignia of his having de
scended from the devil •, but were the regal adornments
of that intellectual superiority which turrcltcd the lofty
brow of Moses when he went up on the Mountain to
talk with God. T. 11. C.
LETTER FROM TALBOTTON.
Tanbotton, July 6th, 1852.
Friend Andrews :—Never was there a number of
the Citizen more cordially welcomed than the last week’s
issue, which bore at its mast head the Scott and Graham
flag ; It is the flag of the stars and stripes that was so
ably sustained by the eld hero in many a hard fought
battle with credit to himself and honor to his country.
Gladly will we respond to the call, of a convention
to be held in Macon on the lSth of August next, for
tlic purpose of nominating an electoral ticket favorable
t*> the election of General \Y infield Scott and the Hon.
Wm. A. Graham to the Presidency and Vice Presi
dency of the United States.
I cannot for a moment believe the Union YY higs and
Democrats of Georgia, after due consideration and a
thorough investigation of the two candidates before
them can hesitate in giving their preference to Gen.
Scott; As yet but a limited number in this county
have spoken out, but those few are decided, and at this
CBily period, are armed with arguments aad compari
sons, (as Union nun) that cannot be controverted;
The most of them here seem to be waiting for the wa
gon, however. We have good Union men capable of
exercising their reasoning powers which I hope will lead
them to a wise selection.
It is needless for me to say more as a writer from
Houston over the signature of Lowndes, has already
handfed the subject in a masterly style, and leaves none
who read it, without a gopd standard to judge by.
REVEILLE.
LETTER FROM TILBOTTON.
Talbottox, July Ist, 1852.
Dr. Andrews —Dear Sir: —Allow me to
say to you that General NY infield Scott has
some friends over this wav, and he is gaining
strength every day. Immediately after his
nomination there was scarcely to be found a
Scott man in our town, but now, they are getting
to be numerous. The majority of them, though
are waiting the action of the Union Conven
tion to be held in Milledgcville on the 15th
inst. My opinion is, they want to see to what
port Tombs and Stephens are making, before
they shout. They don’t think they are out of
the* woods yet. ‘NVe shall see what we shall
see’ and mind if it is not a general rush and
mustering of the forces for Scott. They alledge
at this time an objection to Scott that elected
Jackson, Harrison and Taylor. Surely they
are making rapid improvement upon their past
political wisdom.
I wonder they don’t improve in some other
matters of great importance. Scott has no
equal in the world as a military man, and that
is the very reason why some of the good people
of the Empire State of the South can't support
him ! Glorious objection! When in forty-eight
some of these very anti-Scott gentry almost
went into spasms at the mention of General
Taylor. But they say they are tired of elect
ing a man to the first office in the gift of the
people who has no other than military qualifi
cation. Well who is General Scott? lias he
over shown himself at a loss when called upon
to give publicity'to his political sentiments?
Has be not always shown himself familiar with
history of his country? There is a disposition
in Georgia to run a third candidate over the po
litical course next fall to be known and styled
the Southern Champion against the field, and
its my opinion he will be distanced, and then
there will be some dead heads to be looked af
ter, for fear of lunacy; for I tell you, old NVhitey
is no more, General Taylor is dead, the rider
and horse are sleeping, they have heard the last
trumpet, the battle is o’er with them. The
wisdom of the Baltimore Whig Convention be
speaks this far. Every man of any importance,
(likely to be nominated.) that was run in that
convention was from the Northern States, Scott
was the swiftest and got the start and kept it.
He was nominated by Southern votes. Then,
I sav Scott has got the nomination fairly, and
the Whig party throughout the Union ought
to support him. I think we shall have an in
teresting time over this way, if we can just
keep the dogs and boys from making so much
fuss when the old folks are talking, but we have
some sixteens and over here that are very know
ing about dogs and politics.
Yours, &c. CIIirPEWA.
Letter from (oluuibus.
Columbus, July 3. 1852.
Dear Citizen. —There is but little said here
(the Lowell of the South) about Politics.
You are aware that at the last session of the
General Assembly, a Bank charter was granted
for this place, known here by the familiar name
of the ‘‘Drovers’ and Butcher's Bank:
Perhaps you are also aware of the startling
fact, that there are but few monied men, Capi
talists or upper tens, in this city (say about six)
and that Beef and other flesh is as scarce and
in as good demand as money or Bank Stock
in said Bank, especially since the failure-of St.
Polly's Bank , which has deprived us of almost
all money, and by such deprivation capitalists
and flesh are alarmingly scarce. But suffice it
to say, that these six millionaries, knowing of
the demand for flesh, bank stock and paper
money, monopolized the market and more par
ticularly the stock in the Drovers’ and Butch
ers’ Bank. They absoibed the whole of the
stock so quick and so completely, that a seventh
man who had a little capital and wanted meat
could not get a chance to invest it in the ‘crit
ter
This Banking Company of about six stock
holders, has not yet commenced to fill up the
void created by Winter’s titulary Saint, nor
has if yet commenced to supply the people with
that which L>rovers and Butchers can only do
with money. It is however anxiously expected
tliatsome time hence (can’t say when) the flesh
pots will be well supplied, for it is believed all
or nearly all of the stockholders of said Bank
ing Company have taken their departure,some
to Texas, some to the Salt Licks, and others to
the Flats and Ozark mountains and many and
divers other places on or near the Prairies of
the far West, that they may the more securely
supply and furnish droves to be butchered here,
and perhaps at the same time to find suitable
locations to establish their Banking Agencies,
thus ‘killing two birds with one stone,’ thus
confirming what the poet has already sung to
the the tune of
“ Biess’d paper credit, last and best supply
That gives corruption lighter wings to fly,”
or to do that which oft times before lias been
done, and will oft times be done again, by’ Bank
ing Companies, drive the people to their pens
to be butchered!
The ‘Drovers’ and Butchers’ is the most ap
propriate name that could he given to a Bank
ing Company, and deserves notice. Banks of
all kinds (except lame and broken down Banks)
seem to be in good demand here, at least much
better than their bills. For there is the Facto
ry on whose summit proudly perches the gold
en Eagle, with wide spread wings, seeming to
denote that within its walls are crowded health,
wealth and prosperity, (oh come and see it) is
sues its bills upon a large scale that would seem
to say, ‘thou art weighed and found wanting,’
and upon paper of such a beautiful quality,
that a heavy pocket sweat would give it the
Cholera Morbus beyond remedy. Friend Ho
gan, by no means stands in the rear, in the
way of rarities of all kinds, consisting of eith
er mind or matter. Banks of all kinds are spring
ing up rapidly in our midst, but there i no stock
for sale. But what a mammoth we will have,
when the Drovers’ and Butchers’ Bank com
mences operations, with their vaults full of the
hides of beeves, goats, sheep and goslins, and
the people’s pockets full of fine paper! I de
clare it is too sublime to think more of it,
and lest I might soar to the skies and ne’er
strike terra finna more,
My dear Citizen, I remain yours,
SLASH.
Letter'from Perry, Georgia.
Pf.rry, July 5, 1852.
Mr Editor :—I am heartily rejoiced to see that
: you have raised on high the banner of Winfield Scott,
! the Ilero of three wars and ten pitched battles ; the
man before whom victory marches, and with whom
defeat has no place, alike the conqueror of the Brit
ish Lion, the athletic man of the Forest and the world
known ‘Napoleon oftlio West.’ lie will never be de
feated by a combination of abolitionists, fanatics and
Fire-Eaters.
1 es, Sir, I am glad to see that you have independ
ence enough to honor merit and reward faithfulness.
For, surely, if there is any man in this extended coun
try is indebted for faith given and services rendered,
that man is Gen. Scott. He lias been before the
country for the, last forty odd years, and he has never
either proven in the slighest degree negligent in his
duty, or unsuccessful in his execution of any task
imposed upon him. A clear judgment, a commanding
intellect, energy and perseverance, have enabled him to
surmount every obstacle and achieve a fame both for
himself and his country, as blight and as durable as
that of any other upon the face of the earth. Can any
man point to the character in history from the days of
Heroic Greece to the present tine with whose military
career Gen. Scott’s life will not favorably comparc.-
Who has been more prudent or successful in all his
operations ? To add to this, Gen. (Scott has successfully
executed more civil commissions than liis competitor for
the Presidency.
If there is a spark of the kindlings of National
Glory in the breasts of the American people; if there
is any patriotism left to them of the heritage of their
fathers : if they have any desire to implant in the hearts
of public officers the germs of an honorable ambition
and to cherish within and among Americans a laudable
emulation in the service of our country, Winfield Scott
will be triumphantly elected the next President of the
United States. lie may not he the favorite candidate
of every one, but should disappointment in that one
thing drive men to the support of those men and those
principles which are inimical to them and their dear
est rights, when there is presented to them the victo
ry-crowned chieftain whom their country has always
delighted to honor and who has both defended the
hearths and flag of the American people from insult,
dishonor and invasion. It is objected to him that he
is too closely allied with Seward, and consequently op
posed to slavery and to the execution of the h ugitive
Slave Daw. This is not the case. Gen. Scott must
not be blamed because Seward likes him. Seward
did not bring forward Scott as a candidate. John M.
Clayton did it, and should Georgians refuse to vote for
him because he will be supported by evil men. If that
rule is to be adopted we will never vote again, for no
man that we may nominate will fail to get the votes of
some bad men. Gen. Scott is not opposed to the
Compromise measures, but in favor of them. Be is
fully in favor of executing the Fugitive Slave Law to
the letter, and no mau North or South deprecates agi
tation on the slavery question more than he does.—
He says so, and is not his whole life sufficient guaran
ty that when he speaks, he speaks the truth. Gen.
Scott is slid by some to be a silent candidate. If he
wrote no letters on the subject of the Presidential
nomination, his Southern friends advised him not to
write, and farther he did not wish to prejudice the
claims of Webster and Fillmore by writing, he did not
wish to forestall the Convention nor to press himself
upon them, lie wished the nomination to be perfect
ly fair. Gen. Scott is a Southron by birth and edu
cation, and almost one by residence, and above all he
is not the man to be influenced by Seward or any oth
er man against his own mature judgment. Seward
has no more influence over Gen. Scott than he exerts
over the sliado of Julius Coczar.
Georgians will never suffer a freak of petulance
and momentary disappointment to draw them from the
support of their cherished principles and away from un
der the flag of their country’s favorite Hero, to the
support of those men and measures against whom they
have just been battling. Come then let us march to
victory with Scott and Graham at our head, when abo
litionism, fanaticism and every species of disunionism
and anarchy, being crushed and defeated, will be
chained to our victorious cars, and led in our triumph.
Then up and every man to his post, and every faction
inimical to the prosperity and wellfare of our country
will be crushed and trampled in the march of our tri
umph. S.

mission Merchants, at the new Fire-proof ware
house lately occupied by Hardeman & Hamilton on 3d

business and their facilities for the safe storage of cot
ton will entitle them to a liberal share of public patron
age.
Evening Journal. Don't know why the J
Citizen has not reached you regularly. It is so sent.
Perhaps the reason is, not that we have so many sub
scribers in Savannah, but more readers than subscri
bers.. Eli J
New Church. It affords us pleasure to hear
that the Baptist Society, in this city, under the pasto
ral charge of the Rev. S. Landrum, have purchased an
eligible lot on 3d street, near Cherry, whereon to erect
anew capacious Church for the use of that flourishing
congregation, as soon as sufficient funds can be gathered
for the purpose. With the latter object in view, the
Ladies of tho Baptist Church have it in contemplation
to get up a Fair during the week of the Agricultural
Festival, in which we have no doubt, they will be emi
nently successful, as they deserve to be, in a cause like
that under consideration.
Southern Magazine. No. 1, voi. 2 of this
Monthly from Mobile, comes to us this week, much
improved in matter and manner. Willis G.C. Clark
is Editor and Strickland & Benjamin, publishers, at

patronage.
Georgia Military Institute. We acknow
ledge the reception of a card of invitation to a ‘Com
mencement Tarty’ to be given at this Institute, Ma
rietta, Ga. on tho evening of tho 16th inst., and will
do ourselves the pleasure to accept the same, provided
wo can possibly spare the time from our present pres

young gentlemen of the Institute, on the interesting
occasion.
Deaf and Dnmb Asylum. The third annual
Report of the Board of Commissioners for the Georgia
Asylum for the Deaf and Dumb, presented to his Ex
cellency, Gov. Cobb, July Ist, 1552. This Institution,
located at Cave Spring, Floyd county, Ga., seems to
be in a flourishing condition, and bids fair, from the re
cent liberal endowment by the State, to become a bles
sing to many unfortunate mutes, residing within the
limits of the commonwealth. The number of these is
stated to be not less than 150 who could of right avail
themselves of the Statu benefaction of SB,OOO per an

More Southern Books. Mr. b. f. Griffin
has laid on our table several works just issued by him
self designed for Southern Schools, hirst we have the
Apalachian Primer, consisting of progressive lessons, in
words of one and two syllables, by Mrs. S. L. Griffin.
Second, the Apalachian Readers, Nos. 1, 2 and 3, by
the same ladv, adapted to classes advancing in Reading,
Spelling Defining. &c., and thirdly the Southern Ora.
tor, “consisting of Elements of Elocution and selections,
suitable for declamation and recitation, from eminent
Southern Orators and Writers.” From a cursory
glance at the pages of these volumes, we think them
well calculated to answer the purpose intended by the
publisher and worthy of introduction into all our pri
mary schools. Teachers and parents can be sure that
no free-soil sentiments can therein be found to poison
the minds of the rising generation, which is of itself no
mean praise in favor of this Southern Series of School
Books, which are, in truth, what they purport to be,
and not a spurious eJition of old Northern School Books,
with a title changed to suit a southern meridian, as has
been done in some instances.
Honors to Mr. (lay.
Our exchanges are full of the honors paid to the
mortal remains and the immortal fame of the lamented
Henry Clay. On Thursday llio Ist day of July, the
funeral obsequies took place at the Capitol at Washing
ton, preliminary to the removal to Lexington, Ky. of
the corpse. A Funeral dLcourse was “ preached by
the Rev. Dr. Butler, Chaplain to the Senate, on the
text from Jeremiah —‘llow is the strong staff broken,
and the beautiful rod ?’
The President and Cabinet, General Scott, a large
body of military and citizens, as well as the Mayor
and Corporate authorities of Washington, Georgetown
and Alexandria, ihe members <>f both Houses of Con
gress, Officers of the Army and Navy ; the Mayor,
Council and Committee from Baltimore, the Diploma
tic Cor|nt, Ac., Ac., were in attendance.
The Committee of arrangemetfs consisted of the fol

where it was displayed instate until four o’clock, when
it was taken to the Depot and conveyed to Baltimore
by a special train, accompanied by the Mayor, Council
and Committee from that city, and the Committee of
Senators appointed to convey it to Kentucky, who con
sisted of the Hon. Joseph 11. Underwood of Kentucky;
Hon. James C. Jones of Tennessee ; lion. Lewis Cass
of Michigan; Hon. Hamilton Fish of New York;
Hon. Samuel Houston of Texas; and the lion. Robert
F. Stockton of New Jersey.”
The funeral cortege passed through Baltimore,
Philadelphia and New York to the West, via the Erie
Rail Road, und every where was received in a most
magnificent manner by the authorities. Business was
every where suspended and the public buildings draped
in mourning. Truly a ‘great man has fallen’ and a
nation mourns!
Southern Medical Reformer. —The July
number of this monthly is out. From a glance
at its contents, we think our Thomsonian friends
arc ‘getting fat,’ like Jeshuran of old, and feel
like ‘kicking’ up their pedal extremities at eve
ry thing in their way. They have got a splen
did building—the old Central R. R. Banking
house for their College—a regular monthly or
gan and divers Conventions, past and prospec
tive, engage their attention. As proof of their
growing greatness we notice that the Editorial
Professor calls loudly for the formation of Medi
cal Boards in all the States, to examine and
license candidates for practice. He hoots at the
objection raised against such Boards, on ac
count of their being ‘monopolies,’ as an ‘old
woman notion,’ not worthy of much respect.
YVell, we will not quarrel with our friend Bo
tanicus about the matter, but would like him
to answer what Board of Medical examiners
licensed old Samuel Thomson, the father of the
Reform system, to practise the healing art?
Y\ ; hen that question is answered, we have some
other interogatories to put, touching the ques

We regret to be compelled to announce the death of
Gov. James S. Calhoun late of Columbus, Ga., while
on his way from Santa Fc to Washington. He died
on the Prairies, a few miles from the Missouri Line, at
noon, on the 30th of June. Governor Calhoun was a
gentleman of many noble qualities which endeared him
to a large circle of friends iu Western Georgia. ‘Peace
to his ashes.
Ratification Meeting In New Orleans.—
The demonstration in favor of Scott, was all that his
most ardent friends could desire. The Bulletin says
that ‘a more numerous, intelligent, enthusiastic and
orderly meeting was never assembled in New Orleans!’
Messrs. Benjamin, Roselius, Pierce, Hunt and others
delivered speeches of the highest order of merit.
Scott Meeting in Savannah. AiitheSa
vannah papers speak favorably of the Ratification
Meeting in that city, on Tuesday evening last. Col.
W. Thorne Williams was called to the Chair and W.
Woodbridge appointed Secretary. The lion. W. B.
Fleming, a delegate to the National Whig Convention,
delivered an address which tho Savannah Georgian
admits to have been ‘a very able argument’ in favor of
the Whig nomination. He was followed by Maj.
Bacon, whoso speech was vociferously applauded and
his resolutions unanimously adopted. Col. Hopkins of
Mclntosh sent in nine cheers for Scott and three for
Graham.
Atlanta Republican. —This Journal, which
we set down as neutral or uncommitted, lias come to us,
this week, witli the Scott and Graham Banner at its
mast head ! We make haste to welcome Bro. Renneau
into the column, and doubt not he will do good servjco
‘it the cause, in his section,
“Get out of the way, the people’s ri
sing I ”
The following important document has been
sent us for publication. It is the voice of gal
lant mountain Whigs to their fellows, and the
response of the centre batallion to the call made
upon them. In an hour or two, on Wednes
day, about 50 of the ‘rank and file 1 of Bibb,
promptly appended their names to the Address
and pledged themselves to the cause of ‘Scott,
Graham and our country.’ Look at the * oil oi
names and you will see that there is not one po
litical leader on the list. The ‘bone and sinew’
is represented —the heart and soul of the com
munity—-the quiet hut firm and determined
class that do their own thinking, despite of the
dicta of self-appointed managers and wire
workers. Though we are not a Whig, in the
party sense of the term, and have not therefore
signed the Address, we fully endorse its appeal
to the Whigs to come to the rescue. We would
also ask the independent Democrats to rally in
behalf of Winfield Scott. Under the circum
stances of the case, we trust that many of this
class will find it consistent with their patriotism
and principles to give chief honor to those who
like General Scott have done most for the hon
or and glory of our common country :
To the Whigs of Georgia!
Brothers :—The time lias now come when it be
hooves the Whips of Georgia—every man of them —
to be at their posts. Under the lamented Harrison,
f you rescued your country, fur a time, from Corruption
and Peculation. Then you were betrayed and üboii
doned. In 1544, under the immortal Clay the
Father of our Party, whose name is synonimout with
all that is noble and gallant and generou* in human
\ nature —you marched to battle with an eyo single to
| your Country’s glory ; but the result is recorded in
the dissensions and distractions and commotions which
have wrung the heart of the Patriot: Section ar
rayed against Section—Brother against Brother. In
1818, though denounced by the highest officer of the
Government, who lived and breathed only in the poiso
nous atmosphere of Partisan Politics——as Traitors to
your Country, you made a triumphant rally for that
Country’s happiness and honor.
Bui one more effort is wanting to complete your
triumph. One successful effort more secures a \\ hig
administration, which will enable our Union to bear up
under years of Loeofoco Misrule and Corruption.—
l Shall we not make that effort? Me call upon all
true Whigs, upon all admirers of patriotic virtue, to
j unite with us in the present campaign. The contest
will affect the Country, for the better or worse, for
many years to come. Defeated, and we again give
the reins to the wildest Democracy—to a repetition of
the ‘Polk Drama,’ which, in its results, shook the na
tion to its foundation, and, perhaps, to a career which
will end in the ruin of the Republic. It is a contest of
j national weal against national ruin.
Have not Kossuth and his followers struck hands
I with the Democracy, to obliterate the lessons of the
‘Father of his Country,’ and to involve us in the mazes
of European Politics and Revolutions ?
i Let us then bury past dissensions and differences;
let us forget personal preferences , and, true to the
i teachings of Henry Clay—against whose hallowed
name even calumny cannot now utter a slander, and
whose spirit still hovers over us and around us, —let us
march in solid column, with ‘stout hearts and strong
arms,’ to the call of our Country, in this her hour of
peril and danger ; and, under the banner of the Hero
of Chippewa and Lundy’s Lane, —the conquerer of
Mexico —let us achieve a victory worthy of ourselves
and of the cause ! Instead of ‘Pierce, King and
Kossuth,’ let out battle-cry be, ‘SCOtt, Graham
and OUT founlrj'}’ and we will conquer!
To tlie American people let us appeal, to vindicate
us from the foul and infamous slander , repeated by
the Democratic Convention, of Treason to our Coun
try. Aye, let us rescue front reproach and obloquy
the fair fame of a Hardin, a Webster and a Clay
who poured out their blood upon the fields of Mexico!
In order, therefore, that there may be a thorough
re-union of the Brotherhood, and a perfect understand
ing, we most respectfully and urgently invite the
Whigs of the State to elect Delegates in their respect
ive Counties, to a STA I'E CONVENTION to be held
in the city of Macon, on Wednesday the 18 th day of
August next, for the purpose of ratifying the nomina
tions of the Whig National Convention —to nominate
an Electoral Ticket, and to organize the party for the
campaign.
Whigs of Georgia ! Everything we have, as party
men, been accustomed to cherish, depends on this con
test. Let us remember the now classic glories of
‘4O, the Henry Clay of’44, the Victory of ’4B, and
resolve to consecrate to a still more grateful memory,
the struggle of ’52! Let us rear high the standard of
“SIOTT, GRAHAM & OUR COUNTRY,”
and bear it aloft in triumph ! Then ‘awake ! arouse !
shake off the dew-drops that glitter on your garments
and march forth to battle and to victory !’

Muscogee, a letter ju*t received from a promi
nent Whig gentleman of Columbus under date of July
Gth, gives tbe following gratifying intelligence from old
Muscogee:
“ The meeting of the Constitutional Union party is
just over. Judgo A.G. Foster, Lock Weems, J. A.
L. Lee, Wm. Daniel and A. J. Odum were appointed
Delegates to the Milledgeville Convention—all good
and true Scott men, and will go t*r the man that goes
for the Resolution, that if the Fugitive Slave Law is
not strong enough to be carried out, to make it strong
enough.
In my opinion, the enthusiasm for Scott will be greater
than it was in 1840, for Harrison, The politicians may
resist the current that is now raising as they will, but
tbe people themselves will take hold and carry every
thing before thorn. It is almost inqtofwible to keep our
young men down until the meeting of the Convention,
and if your next paper should be as good as your last,
the enthusiasm of your subscribers here will run over.
Muscogee will run up her usual majority. I heard a
Fire-eater say to day, that Scott would get 200 majori
ty in Muscogee, and he w not a Whig nor a l little
gray.” Truly, yourß) &c> L>
Toombs, Stephens and Jenkins. Mr.
Stephens has written a letter to the Chronicle & Senti
nel, in which he takes ground against both nominations
and in favor of a third candidate. Mr. Toombs lias
delivered a speech against Gen. Scott and Mr. Jenkins
says that there is an insuperable difficulty between hint
and the ballot box ! On the other hand, it is rumored
that Mr. Berrien will support Scott, as will Senator
Dawson, Col. A. 11. Kcnnnn, Col. Foster of Morgan
and others.
Dissolved.
“Both of the two great parties having adopted the
finality of the Compromise, we consider the Constitu
tional Union organization in Georgia as having ac
complished its mission, and that it is henceforth dis
solved. The members are now at liberty to take posi
tion with either of the national parties, without any
imputation of a breach of faith, and according as they
may deem the principles of the one or the other most
conducive to the best interests of the country.”—Ath
ens Banner.
The above paragraph is significant enough. It
may be considered the word of command from his Ex
cellency, Gov. Cobb, through bis cliiwf aid-de-camp,
Col. Ilolsey, to disband the Union organization, or so
much of it, at least, as belonged to the democratic
wing of the Union army. Indeed, this dissolution of
the Union Party commenced when the “suppleinen
tals” determined to go to Baltimore and was finished
when the ‘‘Fillmore Whigs’’ held a convention and
resolved to do the same thing. Os course, then, neith
er of these wings can, with propriety, go into another
convention, such as has been called for the 15th July
inst. Who then will be represented there or who have
a light so to be represented, but those Union men,
who stood firm on the decision of the last Union Con
vention of Georgia, not to go into either National Con
vention T Certainly none others can have the face to
show themselves in a body whose action they ignored
or contemned. But will those entitled to be present
care about meeting under present circumstances ?
We think not, and the probability, therefore, is that
there will be no true convention held. If, the party is
dissolved , us the Banner says and we believe, there is
no use attempting to galvanize it into existence, even
for a period long enough to read the funeral service over
its re-mains !
Scott and Jackson.
The Savannah Georgian and other prints having re
cently raked up and published an ofd Correspondence
which took place years ago, between Gen. Jackson and
Gen. Scott, with the intent, by such publication, to
make out the latter a coward, as well as to excite pre
judice against him in the minds of the admirers of the
departed hero of the Hermitage, we give the following
facts to show that Gen. Jackson, when President in
1832, had unbounded confidence in the diplomatic as
well as military ability of Gen. Scott.
“ In 1832, when the Union was threatened, (says
the Philadelphia News) by South Carolina, and civil
war was imminent, he was selected by President Jack
son as a confidential agent of the Government to pro
ceed to the scene of excitement, for the purjoe of
adopting such measures as he might think necessary
to sustain the law and preserve the peace of the coun
try. Gen. Cass was then Secretary ot War, and in
his official order to Gen. Scott,he .ays:
“ He (President Jackson) has full confidents in your judg
ment and discretion , and it is bis wish that you repair im
mediately to Charleston, and examine every thing connected
with the fortifications. Youaie at liberty to lake such mea
sures, either by strengthunini; those defences or re-inforciii|t
these garisnns with troops, drawn from any other posts, as
you may think prudence and a Just precaution require.' 1
“ No one.” say* Mr. Leigh, ‘who had no opportu
nity of observing on the spot the excitement that ex
isted, can have an adequate conception of the delica
cy of this trust. Gen. Scott had a large acquaintance
with the people of Charleston—he was their friend ;
but his situation was such that many, the great majori
ty of them, looked upon him as a publie enemy.’’ *
* * He was resolved, if possible, to prevent a re
sort to arms, and nothing could have been more judi
cious than his conduct. From thebegining to the end,
his conduct was as conciliatory as it was firm and sin
cere, convincing that he knew his duty, and was re
solved to perform it, and yet that hie principal object
and purpose was rx.ee. lie was perfectly successful,
when the least imprudence might have resulted in a
serious collision.” Gen. Jackson knew his man when
he selected Gen. Scott for this important service.
The troubles on the Niagara frontier in 183 TANARUS, which
threatened so seriously the peace of the country, was
another occasion on which the eminent abilities and
prudence of Gen. Scott were invoked by the Govern
ment. Everybody remembers the intense excitement
which then existed along our northern border. The
alternative of peace or war was in his owu hands. Pre
sident \ an Buren, having the same confidence in his
discretion as was entertained by General Jackson, in
vested him with the most ample authority to take what
ever steps he might think necessary to preserve the
laws and the honor of the country. 11U conduct on
that trying occasion elicited the universal applause of
the American people. On hie return from the border,
the citizens of Albany, and the members of the Legis
lature of New ork, invited him to a public supper.
Governor Marcy, a prominent candidate for the Demo
cratic Presidential nomination, presided, or took n
prominent part in doing honor to the illustrious guest.
The following were among the regular toasts:
“Winfield Scott—Not less the scholar than the soldier,
whose pen and sword have been wielded with equal skill in the
defense of his country
“The Soldier—Who has ever made the law of the land his
supreme rule of action, and who, while he has always ful
filled its utmost requirements, has never, in a single instance,
transcended its limits.”
“Our Guest—The invincible champion of our rights—the
triumphant vindicator of our laws.”
To this democratic testimony in behalf of General
Scott, we add the following testimonial in his favor
from the late Rev. Dr. Channing, of Boston, one of
the most enlightened and eloquent divines of his Jav :
“ To this distinguished man belongs the rare honor
of uniting with military energy and daring, the spirit
of a Philanthropist. His exploits in the field, which ;
placed him in the first rank of our soldiers, have been
obscured by the purer and more lasting glory of a pa
cificator, and of a friend of mankind. In the whole
history of the intercourse of civilized with barbarous or
half-civilized communities, we doubt whether a bright
er page can be found than that wliioh records his agen
cy in the removal of the Cherokees. As far as the
wrongs done to this race can be atoned for, General
Scott has made the expiation.
“ In his recent mission to the disturbed borders of our
country, he has succeeded, not so much by policy as
by the nobleness and generosity of his character, by i
moral influences, by the earnest conviction with which •
he has enforced on all with whom he has had to do,
the obligations of patriotism, justice, humanity and
religion. It would not be easy to find among us a man
who has won purer fame ? and I am happy to offer
this tribute, because 1 would do something, no matter
how little, to hasten the time, when the spirit of Chris
tian humanity shall be accounted an essential attribute
and the brightest ornament of a public man.’’
“Hales and Deplores Slavery.”— The
Columbus Lnquirer of iuesday, in a scorching reply
to the Columbus Times upon the course of that paper,
has the following respecting Gen. Pierce:
“ have said that Pierce was a bitter enemy of
slavery, and we will add, can be no friend to the in
stitutions of the South. He has said within the last
year in a public address, in allusion to the abolitionists,
‘that the men who would dissolve the Union did not
hate and deplore slavery more than he did.’ This
was when he was not a candidate for the Presidency,
and had not the most distant idea of ever becoming
one. W ill any of his new born friends deny the re
mark and sentiment here attributed to him ? Probably
they will, W ell, let them do so. Here then is a man
that hates and deplores slavery just as much as the
vile crew that would destroy the Union in their efforts
to abolish it, and yet every Southern man that dares to
oppose his elevation to the Presidency is denounoed as
lending a lifting hand to the fanatics! Is this the man
that we are only to handle with silk gloves on T Is this
the beautiful sample of a friend to the South, of whom
we cannot speak without being charged with ‘vilifica
tion, abuse, and ridicule V We tell our readers, and
we are not afraid to tell them so, that a man wnose
heart is filled with such feelings, is their enemy in dis
guise, and needs nothing but a decent beating at the
polls to place him where the friends of Van Buren and
Cass say they have placed themselves. To the two
latter worthies, the people of Georgia indignantly re
fused to bo transferred and traded. The Ides of the
coming November, will tell them the rest.”
Tit for Tat.
