mine, my name should be at all instrumental in
devolving ori (tie House, exasperated as its
members will be with another unhappy subject,
a question of so much excitement as that of a
choice of a President.
Being greatly averse to seeing any commu

state, that, while Mr. Clay feels the most grate

friends tor the desire which they entertain of
using his name as a candidate tor the Presi-

that he would be obliged promptly to decline
accepting a nomination if it was tendered to
him.’’
With a cordial approval of the course you
have both pursued, and an assurance of my
grateful acknowledgment, I am, ever faithfully,

GE\ 7 . SCOTT AiVD THE COMPROMISE.
Facts which are Facts, Submitted to a
Candid World!
Keep it Before the People! ! Gen. Scott s
Speech to the Mississippi Delegation I!!
“ I feel gratified, gentlemen, at this unexpected call,
and am glad to see before me the accredited rneu of
Mississippi. The nomination which has been confer
red, upon me by the Convention of which you wete
members, is an honor greater than I deserve, and
whether defeated or elected, I shall always regard it as
the highest compliment which could be bestow ed upon
me, and as more than repaying me for the little service
I have rendered my country. lam well pleased, too ,
gentlemen, with the platform yon hate adopted ; IT
MEETS MY HEARTY AND CORDIAL APPROVAL 5 and let
me assure you, gentlemen, that this is no new born
faith in me. Years ago I entertained the senti
ments expressed in that platform on the subject of
Southern rights. 1 can assure you that I was one of
the first to give in my hearty and cordial approval and
endorsement of those measures, when they were be
fore Congress, There were but two others ahead of
me in point of time in their advocacy, and approval of
those measures. I mean Mr. Clay and Senator hoote,
of your State. As early as 1850, when first brought
before Congress, Lopenly avowed myself the friend of
those measures,.and then, and since, as many I think
as an average of five times a. day, have I openly and
publicly declared my sentiments to every man, woman
and child who has approached me on the subject. I
have not sought nor have I desired any concealment of
my views- and opinions in reference to them, and it is
a matter of profound astonishment and regret to me
that my sentiments have been so grossly misrepresent
ed, and that I have been made the subject of such un
just and malicious slander. My name has been coupled
with that of Mr. Wm. 11. Seward, and I have been
charged with entertaining sentiments in oo.nmon with
him in referenoe to Southern institutions. Nothing
can be more unjust and false. It is true, lam person
ally acquainted with Mr. Seward, and that he is per
sonally my friend —but I am not responsible for his
peculiar sentiments, nor those of any other man who
may see proper to support me, and no man living
knows better than he, what my opinions are, and al
ways have been. I made liis acquaintance sometime
in the year of ’36 or ’7. I had not met with hirn or
corresponded with or interchanged communications
with him, however, during the interval from the year
’42 to ’SO. In the latter year, during the pending of
the Compromise measures before Congress, I met with
him in traveling through New Jersey. He approach
ed me upon the subjeot of those measures, and asked
my opinion in referenoe thereto. I replied to hint in
these words: Sir, lam dead for the Constitution —-
DEAD FOR THE UNION DEAD FOR THE COMPROMISE
AND DEAD AGAINST ANY MAN WHO IS
OPPOSED TO THEM OR EITHER OF THEM.
The language used by myself on that occasion was so
positive and emphatic, that in alluding to it since, for
he well remembers the conversation, he has even
charged me with rudeness.
‘“I have seen-some service in the cause of our com
mon country, and am now advanced in life. I have
endeavored to gain at least a name for uprightness and
candor ; and I challenge the world to produce a single
witness, who would be believed in a court of justice,
who will say that I have ever, by thought, word or
deed, said or done anything to justify the misrepre
sentations that have been made as to my sentiments
and opinions, or that they have been otherwise than as
expressed to you here this day. If any such man
ean be found, let him be brought forward, and I am
willing that my past life and services shall be for
gotten, and that the word infamous shall be written
before and after my name?’
Resolutions of the Great Union Meeting
at Castle Garden, IV. V, in 1850.
Resolved, That the people of New York, without
distinction of seot or party, are ardently devoted to the
union of these States, as, next to our liberties, the
most precious of their political institutions ; and, hav
ing never yet begun to calculate the value of this L nion,
can contemplate no contingency in which its dissolution
would be otherwise than a gigantic crime against the
peace,.pjosejerity and. freedom ot our country and of
mankind.
Resolved, That in the resolutions, lately submitted
to the Senate of the United States by Mr. Glay, look
ing to a complete and final settlement of all ques
tions relating to slavery , on which the feelings of
the Northern and Southern sections of our country
have been excited against each other, we joyfully
recognize the basis of an harmonious and brotherly
adjustment of a most distracting and perilous contro
versy •, and entreat our fellow-citizens of all parties and
sections to study those resolutions carefully, and in a
spirit of devotion- to the Union and perpetuity of this
noble confederacy.
Resolved, That, ii* view of the above considera
tions, we accept, as the basis of a compromise, the
preamble and resolutions as introduced by Mr. Clay
into the Senate of the United States on the 19th Janu
ary, 1850.
Gen. Scrtt, being present at this meeting and re
cognized, was called on to-speak, and responded as fol
lows :
Fellow-Citizens : Your kind greetings fill me
with the deepest emotions. I estme here not expect
ing to take more than a stand in some corner of the
great hall to witness the proceedings. Some kind
fci<?nd discovered me below, or 1 should not have stood
jilt thjs conspicuous place. I did not expect to address
one word to this meeting. I see before me much of
the intelligence, respectability, and sterling worth of
this greajt city, assembled here for the purpose of sup
porting great Union, of which I am an humble
friend and servant. Ido not call myself a citizen of the
North, of the South, of the East or of the West; but
I have served the Uuion for forty-odd years, and feel
myself a citizen of every part of it ; and whatever
life and strength I may have, shall be devoted to its
preservation. Feeling that it was in jeopardy, and
that this meeting had assembled to promote harmony
and preserve the Union, I come here, and return you
many thanks for tha kindness with which you have
welcomed me.
I am notan AboliuMust, nor an advocate of slavery.
I came not here as aidemoerat or a whig. I have at
tended no party meeting for forty-two years. Hut
when the cry is that th* Uuion is in danger, and a
rally is made to support it, I would have been a cow
vrd and a recreant if I had. not also rallied !
Os whatever value may be the remainder of my life
(and no one sets less valae on kt than I do) I would
give it iu support of the Ufuoa. I hope I may not live
to see its dissolution ; but, if usable to avert its fate, I
would be buried beneath its ruins !
I am charmed with the good feeling and universal
patriotism which this meeting has exhibited ; and God
grant that you may devise some plan to 6ave that
Union to which we all, in heart and soul, are so much
attached.

ADDRESS
OF THE SCOTT CONVENTION
TO THE PEOPLE OF GEORGIA.
Charged as a Committee of the Whig party which
assembled in Macon on the 18th inst. to ratify the nomi
-1 nations of the National Whig party, with the presen
tation of the Electoral Ticket then agreed upon u. ani
mously—as eminently, entitled, by individual merit and
republican principles, to your support—we have great
pleasure in submitting the names of the following gen
tlemen :
Major Joel Crawford, of Early.
Judge Wm. Law, of Chatham,
as Electors for the State at Large —and
Col. Geo. W. Walthour, of Liberty,
Judge Lott Warren, of Baker,
Col. Robt. V’. Hardeman, of Jones,.
Col. N. Green Foster, of Morgan,
Dr. Ira E. Dupree, of Twiggs,
Judge Turner 11. Trippe, of Cass,
Gen. Geo. W. Evans, of Richmond, and
Cos). Robert W. Simms, of Coweta,
for the several Districts of the State as composing
the National Whig Electoral Ticket of Georgia.
We congratulate you, fellow-citizens, that another
Presidential campaign has opened, under circumstances,
which we would fondly believe promises to divest the
j conflicts of opinion between the two great National
parties which seek respectively your suffrages, of much
of that asperity which is the usual accompaniment of
[ popular elections.
The great and alarming questions which have, for
j the few last years, excited your apprehension* and em
bittered your fraternal relations with other sections of
the Union, have, by the consent of the duly author
ized representatives of the two National parties, been
withdrawn from the political arena, and explicit
covenants of honor entered into, that the scries of
measures commonly called the Compromise shall be
considered and regarded as a a final settlement of the
disturbing questions of slavery.
Let us cherish wiih confidence, until compelled by
unmislakable evidence otherwise, the conviction, that
the masses of both parties of the non-slaveholding
States mean, in good faith, to fulfil their solemn and
public pledges before the natiou. And whilst we have
exacted, at their hands, this evidence of the nationality
of the two great parties, let us, as Southern men, be
careful to furnish no grounds of attack upon our
party honor—or do anything which can legitimate
ly authorise them to violate their engagements. —
Stripped of the subject of slavery, the Presidential
campaign opens, not as heretofore, with the issues to
which we have been accustomed. Most of those have
become obsolete, or from the changes necessarily inci
dent to the working of the general government and the
varying condition of the country have been rendered
unnecessary, unimportant, or impracticable of either
present or prospective beneficial application. A nearer
agreement therefore in the great cardinal rules of the
interpretation of the Constitution than ever heretofore
existed, marks the respective platforms of the two par
ties. This approximation is a matter of no small
magjiitude to the South, and it may and ought to be
regarded as the harbinger of the restoration of kindly
feeling throughout the Union —that feeling which is
the Union’s best and strongest bond.
We would be glad could we truly say. there were
no differences iu the principles professed by both par
ties.
We are constrained to say that we think in the
Democratic platform there is concealed a most danger
ous principle—faintly shadowed forth, yet so veiled as
to permit denial if directly charged,— or authorise its
assertion, if denied. We allude, of course to the doc
trine of ‘ lntervention, ’ or in plain language, the inter
medling of the United States in the affairs of other
nations.
It is unbecoming a great party like the Democratic
party,—ever professing the honesty of their principles,
to shun for any cause or under auy circumstances the
frank and bold avowal of them’.
We feel authorized by the silence of the Democratic
press and Democratic nominees, to regard the Resolu
tion referred to, as covertly sanctioning a doctrine—
disastrous to the South and exposing Southern institu
tions to attaok—a doctrine, which if acted on, would
involve the Union in perpetual wars from the perpetual
interferences in the affairs of other nations. The doc
trine, viewed in the most favorable light, is a quixotism
which should find no toleration at the hands of sane
or patriotic men.
The mission of the United States is pence with all
the world. Let our example be the light to illumine
the pathway of nations. Let our ships be freighted
with the burdens of a rich, remunerating and increas
ing commerce—or let those messengers of war, instead
of bearing hostile men and arms to distant shores, be
rather freighted with the corn and food of our bounte
ous land, to sustain struggling freemen— or famishing
nations.
PEOPLE OF GEORGIA!—If you regard the
present or feel a wise solicitude for the future, we int
voke you, by the highest interest involved, to arrest a
once, by bestowing jour suffrages properly, the fatal
and pernicious doctrine of Intervention recently pro
mulgated in fervid and captivating eloquence by the
Hungarian exile, who prostituted the asylum we offered
hint to the disturbance of our Natiomd tranquility.—
Rise for a moment superior to the allegiance io party—
place yourselves upon the higher, elevation of Patrio
tism, and we persuade ourselves, that in thus acting,
you cannot but unite with us in the support of Gene
ral Winfield Scott—the only man of all the persons
who will receive votes for the Presidency, who has em
phatically condemned that doctrine. Upon principle
then you can support this illustrious man.
We would appeal also to your gratitude as an honor
able motive to influence your suffrages. Gratitude
for a series of brilliant military services beginning on
the Canada frontier, and terminating with the conquest
of the city of Mexico—comprehending a period of
near forty years.
Who of you that admires high intellect, invigora
ted by a profound acquaintance with Municipal and
International law—united to a very remarkable fami
liarity with all the great questions which annually oc
cupy the attention of Congress, can refuse him support
as a statesman eminently qualified to adorn the Execu
tive Chair of the Union ?
The truth is, fellow-citizens, that the varied and vast
attainments of Winfield Scott would long since have
marked him out as a civilian and statesman of the first
rank, had they not been obscured from the public view
by the dazzling brilliancy of his military achievements.
Ilis deeds and important civil and military servi
ces, will require volumes to present clearly and faith
fully. They constitute the brightest pages in Ameri
can history since the days of the immortal Washington
—the great model on which this eminent man has
framed his own exalted character.
In glorious services rendered to his country, no liv
ing man can begin to compare with him. The bright
est intellectual luminary pales its fires before the efful
gence of the Sun.
If indeed you feel as you should, a patriotic pride for
the rank and position of the United States as a great
power among the nations, you should make known
your grateful estimation of it by the cheerful support of
him to whom we are so largely indebted, for its consi
deration. In the admiration which you have so hono
rably indulged for the high toned diplomacy which has
signaliz-ed the receDt history of the National govern
ment, let us invite you to look behind the mind of the
Statesman, which has depicted in firm and burning
language American sentiment— to ths buttle fields of
Mexico, We should be false to our own convictions of
truth, if we did not assert, that that tune and senti
ment owe their parentage chiefly to the victorious
success of our arms under the masterly conduct of
Winfield Scott.
WIIIGS OF GEORGIA.—We might pretermit
with propriety a special address to you, as you are ne
cessarily included in what we have said, did we not feel
that we are bound to each other by ties of past asso
ciation, and as we would earnestly hope, are determin
ed now to unite again as members of the National
Whig party. We beseech you to break, effectually and
forever,, every party tie which may have connected
you with that organization recently known as the
Constitutional Union party. However pure, (and it
will not be questioned) were the motives of the great
bulk of the people who constituted thftt party
purpose of its formation has been accomplished —-
the organization has been dissolved firstly by the action
of its respective constituents, and secondly by the offi
cial act of its Executive Committee. It oan therefore
no longer remain as an impediment in your way to
re-union with the old whig party. To_the grave let it
be consigned, I) 19 note unworthy of a regret, Dis
countenance all and every effort whether open or covert
designed to prevent us rallying under our ancient flag.
The attempt in any form or under any name to continue
its being after what has transpired, should he regarded
by us all as a selfish scheme to prolong party power—
without preserving principle. Now that both of the
great National patties have solemnly and in good faith,
resolved upon the cessation of tho slavery agitation in
their respective organizations—look upon those men
who in our midst would revive these exciting questions,
by expressing distrust of the fidelity of our chief
national nominees to the Whig platform,os incendia
ries, who feel that the subsidence of the fires of agi
tation will be to them,, if not a sentence of obscurity,
at least a very large diminution of their political con
sequence. As these tnen> are indebted to their do
minion over the popular mind to the very disorders
which all patriots are seeking to repress —WHIGS !
can you wonder, that these heartless demagogues, in
turn, should with a sort of sinister piety, foment and
foster the fears and apprehensions of the people the
parents of their past importance ?
It is with you to determine whether their fatal pow
er for mischief shall be continued. VV ithdraw prompt
ly and fully your confidence from such men and your
re-integration as a Natioual party cannot fail iu a short
time to become complete.
Mav we not beseech you by principles maintained in
common to compose your strifes, —to let your divisions
as to men have an end, —and to express the hope, that
all the conservative men of Georgia will be found on
the Ist Monday in November next harmoniously voting
the electoral ticket which it lias been made our pleas
ing duty to present as worthy of your confidence and
support. May we not add, without offence — that good
faith to the National Whig party of the Union — duty
to ourselves, and above all, duty to our country, de
mand the cordial and enthusiastic support of General
Winfield Scott for the Presidency and Wm, A. Gra
ham for the Vice Presidency of the United States of

LETTER FROM TALBOTTON.
Talbotton, 24th August, 1852.
Dr. Andrews: —Having returned from the Chaly
beate Springs, a delightful summer retreat, where all
that is beautiful and lovely under heaven in woman may
be found as well as the unequalled variety of amuse
ments that are afforded by the proprietor, I turn my
face Scottward, and purpose telling you wliat are our
political prospects. You know there was a Webster
Convention held in Macon on the 17tli of this month.
Ah, that was a convention for you. composed of near
ly as many Scott men at heart as Webster men. As
a certain gentleman said in the Convention ‘it looked
mighty spotted.’ Docs it not appear to every sensible
man the height of folly to be throwing away his vote,
and yet every man in Georgia who votes for Webster,
will do that very thing. I hold that there are but two
great political parties in this country, the whig and
democratic, and unless a man votes either lor Pierce or
Scott, he cannot honestly claim to belong to either. It
is with great solicitude that I look forward to the time
when the Websterians will all have fallen into the Scott
line, Georgia Wehsterians in particular marching up to
deposit their votes for Winfield Scott.. And I believe
we shall see it yet, for you can't find a Webster man
scarcely in these diggins, but what regrets the Webster
mania. What a compliment to Mr. Webster, who
was run in the Whig National Convention, had a hard
run and a fair race, because it was all in the hands of
his friends, and they defeated him there. But Geor
gia Webster men say they wont stand it. Why ? Be
cause they did’tit nominate your favorite man ? Do
you think you will be doing him a personal kindness
to vote for him and have him beat again. I expect
Daniel will exclaim, ‘deliver me from my friends.’
Well, but say they, if we don’t vote for Webster we
shan't have any one to vote for. Mr. Webster will
excuse you all gentlemen, for I don't expect he has
any idea you intend to vote for him, and if you do he
thinks you can’t elect him, and General Scott will be
much obliged to you for your support. Now stop and
and think awhile about it. Don’t say you wont have
pie because you can't get pudding. Some say they
don't like pie no how. Well then, you have got to
perish, for you can’t get pudding this political dinner no
how you can fix it.
It is interesting to hear the Webster men cypher in
the sand about Webster’s claims upon the people of
Georgia. We all admit him a great man and that he
lias claims, if any man has outside of party action, but
how many will be silly enough to vote for Webster and
call themselves good whigs and party men ? The bal
lot must tell. Scott men are increasing over this way,
day by day, and we want to have a Camp Meeting by
and by to invite the Webster mourners up to take a
fresh plate of Winfield's soup.
Yours, &c., LUNDY'S LANE.
Who is W infield Scott.
What iias he done to merit our gratitude ?
These questions have thus been answered :
At the age of 21, and in the summer of 1807, he
voluntered into a troop of Virginia horse.
In 1812 he fought the battle of Queenstown Heights,
In ISI3 he was the instrument of saving our Irish

of arms, he brought the Black Ilawk war to a just
and favorable issue.
In the same year he soothed the spirit of Southern
Nullification, and saved our country from civil dis
cord.
In 1836 he served against the Seminole Indians in
Florida.
In 1 537, with admirable energy and tact and with
out troops he calmed the patriot disturbances upon our
extended Northern frontier.
In the same year he effected the removal of the
Clierokees in a manner that won the gratitude of the
noble tribe and the admiration of the whole country.
In 1839 110 earned the distinguished title of “The
Pacificator of the Northeastern Boundary,’’ and saved
his country from a bloody aod wasteful war with Great
Britain.
In 1847 he opened the splendid military drama of
the second conquest of Mexico, by reducing the city of
Vera Cruz and the impregnable Castle of San Juan
d’Ulloa after un active siege of but four days.
April the Bth, he fought and won the admirable bat
tle of Cerro Gordo, and opened to the Americans the
path to the dominion of the entire Western Conti

brilliant battle of Klolino del Rey.
On the 13tli of September he carried by storm
the terriblo Heights and Fortress of Chepultepec ;
scattered the Mexican army from the gates of Belen
and Sar Cosume, and made a lodgement in the capital
of Mexico.
On the 14th of S< ptember, he marched his army of
heroes, scarce six thousand men, into the halls of the
Montezumas, and broke the Spanish dominion in
America.
Gen. Scott is vain, empty, proud and silly.
Pierce’s Biog. p. 57.
Gen. Scott has always been “vain”enough to
believe, that, at the hpad of his gallant troops,
he could whip the enemies of his country, two
toone. He was always too “proud” to surren
der; and was never “silly’’ enough to faint at
the smell of gunpowder. As far being “empty,”
(he People intend to punish him for that offence
by compelling him to fill the Presidential Chair
on the 4th of March next--[ Albany (N. Y.)

He was Brigadier in the Mexican war, and
fout at and at we don’t know where,
but he killed Cass, and Douglas, and Buchanan:
and Marcy, and a dozen or so other “fogies.”
Raleigh Register.
Whew !!—The Boston Times of Friday at
tempts to gas the Irish voters by the following
novel information: —
Gen. Pierce will undoubtedly receive the
bulk of the Irish votes, iu the present Presiden
tial campaign. In 1848 Gen Scott committed
himself, decidedly, to the measure of the na
tive American party,and Gen. Pierce is descen
ded of a respectable Irish family,*\vho settled in
Londonberry, N. 11., many years ago.
Great honors have ever been considered due
to the man who falls in battle. Then what
honors can be great enough for the Democrat
ic nominee who fell in divers battles ?
The following sparring took place, the other
day, in a South-side county :
Democrat. ‘Scott is a hum-bug.' 1
Whig. And what is is Pierce? A tumble. .’
— Ex. Om.
An Eastport paper mentions that a sea captain of
that port, recently returned from a short voyage, on
seeing the names of ‘Pierce and King’ on a flag wav
ing over Leavitt’s building, exclaimed to his compan
ion—‘Halloa!—Pierce and King—they must be
some new folks that hate moved in since I've been
gone /’
Good Pun.—The New York Tribune recently
said : ‘We spit upon the platform.’ The Rochester
American replies that the editor of the Tribune can
not expect-to-rate as a whig.
Tho wag, ‘Falconbridge,’ says that an attempt has
been made upon the life of Gen. Pierce by anew
York publisher. ‘Falconbridge’ will have to be
chained.
The Boston Post says, ‘the women nil go for Pierce.’
The following we can account for : Miss-take was pro
minent : n liis appointmentaa Brigadier General; Miss
fire accompanied him throughout his Mexican Cam
paign ; Miss-hap wrote his Military history, and Sal
volatile stood by him when he fainted.— Clarkesville
Chronicle.
We understand says the Louisville Journal, that at
all future meetings of the Democracy of Louisville,
each democrat is to appear with the Pierce badge—
that is to say, with a stick of candy in his mouth, in
honor of ‘the most illustrious act’ in the career of his
candidate.
A fool and his money are soon parted.— Exchange

Why, what have you been buying ? — Buffalo Ex
press.
Pierce’s Military career !— Exch.
‘Hurrah for Scott and Graham !’ said a young whig
the other day, to a half inebriated Loco Foeo. The
reply was, ‘Hurrah (hie) for King and (hie) and that

A friend of ours called in at our sanctum yesterday,
to express his opinion that Pierce, after the Presidential
election, would be very much in the predicament of the

“ That same old coon that looks so fat,
How often have we slain :
And when we think him dead and gone,
Then up he pops again
Well—he does !
There is but a step, etc. etc. —After reading what
some of the Pierce and King organs have put forth
about‘the glorious sublimity of General Pierce’s resig
nation of the Senatorship in obedience to the command
of principles and the dictates of duty,’ and the migh
ty triumph thus achieved by him over vain-glory and
ambition, the Louisville Journal says: ‘We took up
General W, O. Butler’s late speech at Carrolton, and
couldn’t for the lives of us help laughing fifteen min*
utes or so over the following passage :
‘He (Gen. Pierce) served, in ali, about ten years in
Congress, three of which were in the Senate, but was
compelled to resign his scat in that body in conse
quence of the ill-health of his wife?
There! A gentleman was compelled to resign liis
seat in the Senate in consequence of the ill health of his
wife, and the Loco foeo organs call upon all creation to
admire the act of the loftiest, the most stupendous, the
most amazing triumph over vain-glory and ambition
ever exhibited to the world and the rest of mankind.’

Anecdotes of General Pierce. The democrats
have added two more to their cyclopedia of General
Pierce. One is that while in college, he was taken to
task by the Professor for organizing a Military compa

to which rebuke he replied with astonishing dignity,
that he could receive communications on military mat
ters only through his orderly sergeant! Prodigious !

Macon Female Seminary. Rev. j. w.
Miller and Lady, Mrs. Marv L. Miller, have opened a
Female Seminary, on the hill, near the residence of
Mrs. Tracy, where will be taught all the branches of
solid and polite Literature. We have good report of
the ability and high character of these teachers and
have no doubt they are worthy of a liberal patronage.
Sports Os the Turf. We are informed that
there are now twenty young horses, in training at the
Central Coarse, near this city, for the Fall Races, to
commence on the 14th October next, and that more
are expected. The track has been improved and re
duced to the one mile standard, and every eff-rt will
be made by the enterprising proprietor to add to the
attractions of the occasion, and ensure fine sport to the
lovers of the turf.
Arrested . —John Miller, one of the parties charg
ed with the murder of Charles Ruff, in June last, in
this city, was arrested, last week, at Montgomery, Ala.
and brought back to Macon by last Wednesday’s South
Western train, in charge of Marshal MoGibony of
Montgomery and Marshal Hughes of Columbus. lie
has been committed to jail, to await his trial.
Another Fugitive.— A few days since, Mr.
Knapp of Columbia, S. Carolina, arrived in this city, in
pursuit of a man of the name of Crouch, who had
absconded from that place, taking with him some prop
erty which he had borrowed from the State Arsenal,
at Columbia, where he was employed as an Engineer.
Officer Shaw had arrested the gentleman and held him
in custody, till the arrival of Mr. Knapp, when the
prisoner disgorged a part of the plunder and was dis
charged ! He had taken two double-barreled guns,
two pair of pistols and a watch, the latter beloning to
Mr. Glaze and the former to the State. One of the guns
and one pair of pistols he left witli his young wife in
Lexington District—the others he brought with him!
Crouch avers that he did not steal the property, and
talks of returning to Columbia to settle the hash with
those who telegraphed to this city to have him arrest
ed ! We hope he will, and that lie will be able to prove j
himself innocent of any felonious intent in removing
the borrowed property so far from tit * guardianship of
its proprietors !

Daniel Tobin.- —This individual, whose attempt
ed arrest wo noticed in our last, went from this city,
to Columbus, where he arrived last Saturday or Sun
day night, and on Monday morning was re-arrested by
the Sheriff of Muscogee county, assistod by the city I
police of Columbus. He was then taken, says the
Enquirer, before the Justices of the Inferior Court,
and after examination discharged, notwithstanding the
confession of Tobin that he was the man who killed
McDonald in South Carolina. It seems to us, if there
is not some law authorizing the arrest and confinement
of fugitives from justice from other States, until they
can be claimed by the proper authority, there ought
to be. As the thing now stands, by an abuse of the
Habus Corpus act, which was intended for the pro
tection of honest men, not of rogues, any scoundrel
who has money, can get discharged from arrest and
be turned loose upon society, no matter of what crime
he may have been guilty.
In view of these facts, we ask why does not Gov.
Means make his requisition upon Gov. Cobb for the
delivery of the Tobins and Farmer ? If the S. Caro
linians don't wish, them arrested, we don’t know tha|
Georgians should care about it, except to get rid of the
presence of such customers within our limits.
“Pathfinder” on Toombs.
Pathfinder’s correspondent of the Central
after following Robert through various thus
settles down upon that honorable gentleman I
“ Sir, fortune lias favored you. Gen. Scott is nomi
nated---you rejoiced once in your life and breathed
J free. But you doubtless gnashed your teeth, and
trembled in your shoes, when you saw the Fillmore
delegates from Georgia pour into Baltimore. Be that
as it may, you are now safe, there is no power to harm
j you, and however badly you may represent whig prin
ciples in the Senate of the United States, I am not
the man to wish your time shorter. Reconcile your
conduct with good faith, honor and patriotism, if you
can. There are thousands that will, probably, look to
you yet, as the guiding star in their political firmament,
but the w hig party never can— l mean the consist
ent and only true whigs—the supporters of Gen.
Scott. They have assisted to make you what you
are: they have confided in you ; they have been proud
jof you, and have delighted to honor you. But they
ARE NOT SERFS TO BE DISPOSED OF AS YOU TLEASE. A OU
have made politics your trade. Beware, ‘he that
livetli by the sword, shall perish by the sword.’ The
anger of an indignant and betrayed people, like the
lightning’s flash, may yet scath and burn you as a con
suming fire.’’
A Mistake.' —The Savannah News says that Dr.
! Hines was arrested here, as the result of a Telegraphic
* dispatch from the Savannah Officers. Not so. The
telegraphic dispatch was not received here till four
hours after Officer Shaw had arrested Ilmen, and two
j hours after Hines had been shipped back to Savannah !
The Telegraph Concern should not therefore have the
credit that does not belong to it. In fact, we have found
out, long since, that but precious little reliance can be
placed either upon the certainty or celerity of this
; mode of communication. Nor do we know of any
remedy, so long as the pie-pay system is exacted by
the Telegraphic Company. Were the fee of all dis
’ patches payable only on delivery, and according as
they were contracted to be delivered in point of time,
the public would be better accommodated than it is
now likely to be.
A Question of Veracity.
“ It will be seen that we were correct in our views
of the motives which prompted the W ebster men to in
vite a conference of the two sets of delegates. — Sav.
Georgian.
“It is rather unfortunate for the Georgian that the
data upon which it bases its suspicion of motives is not
true. The conference was suggested and sought by
the leaders of the Scott party. The Webster men as
sented, and passed the resolution accordingly.’’-CAron.
and Sentinel.
The Georgian is right and the Chronicle and Senti
nel wrong. When the latter asserts that the ‘confer
ence was suggested and sought by the leaders of the
Scott party, it asserts that which is not true. It was
only through courtesy to the Webster Convention and
from a desire to prevent them making capital out of the
refusal of the Scott Convention to confer with them,
that the Scott men reluctantly agreed to the proposition
of conference. But, how was the Scott Committee
treated ? Why, they were met by only four out of
the twenty four of the Webster Commitee and to add
to the discourtesy, were informed that the four afore
said were readv to hear any proposition which the 24
Scott men had to make! After such a display of dig
nity, of course, nothing remained for the Scott men
but to retire from the conclave. If the Chronicle is
in the secret, (and if he is not, he can ask Col. Cum
ming or Col. Reese) will he please inform us why the
Webster Committee was razeed down from 24 to 4 ?
Was it not because those gentlemen feared the re
maining 20 might be converted over to the Scott stan
dard ? Do ti ll us pray, Mr. Sentinel! We are dying
to know!
*• They Cry Peace, Peace, when there
is no Peace.’*
The Milledgeville Recorder takes up the lullaby of
the Savannah Republican and exhorts, most piteously,
that the canvass between the Scott men and the W t-b
----ster men shall be conducted with mutual forbearance
and without any acerbity of temper, &e. &.\ Now,
all this is a very pretty song, but our Tertium Quid
1 friends began it a little too late, we fear, to answer any
t good purpose. It is the language of men who have
already cast the stone of offence against Gen. Scott
and his friends—of men who have done all they could
to prejudice the public mind, injuriously and falsely,
against the gallant htro of Chippewa, and now dread
that the Scott men will retaliate ‘to the bitter end’ upon
Mr. Webster and his new-born Southern supporters! |
It is the voice of hypocritical friendship, saying ‘art 1
thou in health, my brother?’ while the dagger is being
inserted, very gingerly , under the fifth rib of the Scott
man who is dupe enough to receive the proffered em
braces of his enemj !
The fact is, gentlemen, that there is only one way
in which you can make peace with your Scott brethren,
and that is by withdrawing your Electoral Ticket from
the field—taking back vour slander against Gen. Scott,
and returning speedily, to the ranks you have deserted.
You are all renegades from party and principle so long 1
as you are found in opposition to the regularly nomi
nated national candidate, and the sooner you confess
your sins and repent of your folly, the better it will be
for yourselves. The Scott men can make no terms
with you until you do. There can be no peace be
tween us, so long as we know your aim has been and
is, to ‘absorb’ the Scott party, or failing in that, like
Sampson in the temple of Gaza, to pull down the pil
lars of liberty,in one indiscriminate ruin.
No, no, Sirs ! For ourselves we are free to say, that
there is no reason why Georgia whigs should repudiate
the action of a Convention in which they participated
and take up Webster and Jenkins in lieu of Scott &
Graham. There is no principle involved iu the case.
Scott is infinitely sounder upon the slavery question
than Webster. Ilis ‘antecedents’ are brighter and
clearer, as is demonstrated by his Castle Garden speech
and his speech to the Mississippi Delegation. Scott
then being the national candidate and Webster not,
why should Scott men be asked to look with compla
cency upon the efforts of disorganizers to defeat their
candidate ? We shall make no pledges of the sort. We
look upon all as enemies to our cause, who are not with
us. ‘He that is not for us is against us ’ and we shall
govern ourselves accordingly.
Tiif. Only ‘Star.’ —Some few years ago, when the
Whigs were under a cloud, Mr. Webster uttered a sen
timent in Faneuil Hall, which forever hound him to the
Whig party — knitting the two indissolubly together.—
He.said: ‘ln the dark and troubled night that is upon
us, I see no star above the horizon promising to guide
us but the intelligent, patriotic, united Whig party
of these United States.—Boston Atlas.
Will our Tertium quid friends take the above de
claration of Daniel Webster to heart, and practise on
it, in their lives? Asa Democrat, we do not, of course,
endorse the sentiment, but it vijill, notwithstanding, be
none the less worthy of the attention of these who still
call themselves whigs. United, that ‘star’ may still
shine, but disunited, it will set in darkness.
Gone Home— The National Intelligencer says that
Messrs. Toombs and Stephens have gone home to
Georgia to electioneer, (being apprehensive of losing
power) and will not return to their seats iu the preseut
Congress.
A dispatch in the Journal of Commerce announces
that Mr. Stephens has declared for Gen. Scott! This
is ‘news’ to us, in Georgia, but it may be true. In
deed, we have abiding confidence in Mr. Stephens, that
after the recent developements of the soundness of
Gen. Scott’s ‘antecedents,’ lie will yet be found
doing battle along side Dawson and other gallant Geor
gians in behalf of the National candidates, Scott and
Graham.
Another lie nailed to the Counter!
Thoe. 11. Clay, Esq., son of the late Henry Clay, in
a letter to Col. John Pickell, of Baltimore, contradicts
the statement made in some of the papers, that he had
told his father, previous to his death, that he would
not vote for Scott and Graham. He says he did tell
him, previous to the meeting of the convention, that he
would not support its nominees, unless it gave a strong
and emphatic expression of approval of the Compro
mise, This he considers it did do, and believing Gen.
Scott to be a man of honor, and Mr. Graham’s position
never having been he “'ill support them.
