a Nut for the Douglas Democ
racy.
e woald call most especial attention to
9 flowing paragraph from the “National
August, 25th, an Abolition paper,
biished at Washington City. As Mr.
p is there at this time, and has been
jV lv visited by several Southern Democrats
C diftinetion, among whom were Judge
\lek, #r4 John Forsyth, of Alabama, it is
~resumed that the “Era’s” information is
, rrect. What should the Southern people
t hj n k—what should the people of Georgia
who have ever stood first, aud fore
ist, * n d proudest, in defence of late and
Cn*tit*t ,r,na tprinci}>U —what should they
think of Mr. Toombs, of tho iinstitution
fyl a nd other Democratic presses, and of
i ; oV . Brown, for recommending a man for
the Presidency, who privately expresses his
contempt for the Constitution, the laws aud
the just claims of the South, while he openly
proclaims to his followers, the means of eva
jing them ? Seward is not more hostile to
the claims of the South, than is Mr. Douglas
—nor is ho half so dangerous. Read, fellow
citizens, and then say what should be done
with Southern Democratic leaders for recom
mending such a man as Stephen A. Douglas :
*We understand that, in private conver
sation, Senator Dougina gives utterance to
sentiments still more heretical, if tested
bv the Southern standard of orthodoxy, than
h:i yet thought proper to make public.
In the presence of democrats and republicans
a few evenings since, he ridiculed the idea
that the constitution carries slavery into the
Territories, or that the Dred Scott case has
decided; or, if it had ao decided, that it
would amount to anything. We understand,
also, that he denies the right ofslave-holders
to carry their slaves into the unorganized j
Territories; that they would in such a case
be trespassers. This position, by the wav,
would seem to spoil his theory of popular
sovereignty. That is a strange sort of sover
eignty which depends entirely upon the will
of Congress. He insists that it requires a
-jiocial enactment of the Territorial Legisla
ture to establish slavery.
Mr. Douglas thinks that not less than sis- j
tsen thousand slaves have been imported in-'I
to the I'nion within twelve months. He |
saw more than three hundred newly import- j
ed slaves in Vicksburg during his reent |
Southern tour, and as many at Memphis. i
He is said to have spoken warmiy against the
trade. A\ e derive these statements from
jiersons of respectability, and if they are true,
we shall be happy to recognize the fact, and
to admit that we have, in another paragaapb,
i riticised Mr. Douglas’ last letter with undue
sevfrity.
The Douglas men and Mr.
Calhoun.
The Douglas men in the State of Georgia
w* trying to protect and shield Douglas and
Sjnatter Sovereignty, under the all-powerful
influence of Mr. Calhoun’s character, by
publishing garbled extracts from his Oregon
Speech, and laborieg to impress the piblic
mind with the belief that Mr. Calhoun was j
in favor of Squatter Sovereignty, or advo
cated the doctrine that the people of a Terri
tory orthe Territorial Legislature might leg
i-lateon the subject of Slavery in the Terri
tones. Now every intelligent man knows
that since 1844 (up to the ,day of Mr. Cal
houns death, in 1851,) Mr. Calhoun eniploy-
I the extraordinary powers of his giant
mind to destroy or crush popular or Squat
ter Sovereignty in the Territories as advanc
ed by General Cass, and supported by Dou
glas. Mr. Calhoun in his debate with Ben
ton, said it whs tho duty of the Government
to protect all the citizens from all the States
in the right to hold their property, of what
ever kind, in the Territories against all in
terference from whatever quarter.” Mr. Cal
hjun cannot now be robbed of the brightest
jewel in the wreath that encircled his brow,
nor neither can the garland that adorns his
tomb be despoiled of its consistent beauty,
for the decision in tho Dred Scott case was
but an endorsement of that great mans doc -
trine, to-wit : That Congress did not have
the power to destroy or exclude slavery from
the Territories, neither could Congress dele
gate or permit the Territorial Legislature to
do it, and that it was the duty of Congress
to guard and protect the citizen in his
rights, and property in the Territories by
Congress passing laws to protect Slavery
there. The “Telegraph” and the “Federal
inion” ought not so unfairly and so unjust
ly, to the memory of Mr. Calhoun, seek to
make the people believe that which they
know is not so.
The Skies are Bright.
Ihe information we receive from every ‘
‘ection of the 3d district is encouraging and j
Veering. Wherever Capt. Hardeman speaks, |
large and and enthusiastic crowds greet and j
welcome him. How can it be otherwise ? |
He is easy, courteous and respective to all— ;
at once engorging and attractive as a citizen,
■ntelleetual and brilliant as a speaker, he at
“nee creates confidence and holds the
affections of the people.
C apt. Hardeman speaks on to-morrow, at
Hamiliton, Harris county ; he will have no
doubt, a large crowd in old Harris—the Gi
ralter of the Opposition party of the 3d dis- !
>rict. From Monroe all is right; the gal- 1
ant Trippe, with his host of friends and ad- i
n'irers, marches in solid column to victory j
f ' ,r Hardeman and Akin. Again there is the !
”dd and intrepid Hill, of Harris, standing
r m and unflinching by Capt. Hardeman
and Akin ! Houston! old Houston is com
ing too, and she promises to roll up a major-
Il y for Hardeman and the mountain boy of j
>e mines—Warren Akin ! Upson, the
miner county of the 3d district,stands erect
und stretching out her mighty arms, takes
Hardeman and Akin to her embrace and j
a ys, “rest thou here, for I will shield and
protect thee. Col. Dempsey Brown, who is
* tower of strength, is batiling for Harde- ■
104n > Akin, and the country; and so we
nught go on and speak of every county in j
k be district, but we forbear.
M e say to the opposition of the 3d, let
there be no lukewarm feeling among Harde- I
man's and Akin’s friends. Let every man
Ho his duty from now until the sun sets on
the day of election. Don’t be satisfied with
hundred majority for Hardeman, but let
II swell up to eight hundred, or a thousand.

Something Difficult to Do.
M hen Gen. Cass, after his defeat in 1848,
j went into the Senate of the United States,
and there avowed that the Whigs gave a true
| construction to his Nicholson Letcr, viz :
Squattnr Sovereignty —there was one univer
sal burst of indignation from the Democrat
| io press and leaders, who declared them
selves deceived and duped by Mr. Cass.
Could these people have Iren honest in their
intentions, either before or after the election f
We very much doubt it. For we find that
many of these politicians now, are a little
troubled how to reconcile their support of
Douglas, with their recorded abhorrence of
i Mr. Cass’ doctrine, which the former gen
! tleman stands so firmly upon, and is deter
mined to maintain, sink or swim. Mr. Doug
las undeniably advocates the doctrines eon
j tained in Mr. Cass’ Nicholson letter, and
j even g s further. It is equally undeniable
that the Democratic presses and leaders de
nounced that doctrine in 1848. How do
those who support Mr. Douglas now, expect
! to reconcile this course with consistency ?
W e think it will be difficult to do. We are
on the >/ui rive for some trick of legerdemain.
W e are sure weshali hear, if Douglass should
‘be nominated, (which God forbid,) that he
is the only man that can save the South !
I Doubtless some of them are even ready to
! declare it now. Look out for it in the neigh
borhood of Buncombe, Gov. Brown and the
‘“Constitutionalist.”
Democratic Selfishness.
Every where over the State, in
j every public meeting, in all the dis- :
! cushions, and barbaeues, most of tiie
j people composing the Democratic
I party, seem to act with a selfishness 1
[ that is not characteristic of the citi
zen in his private life. They refuse I
all political affiliation, unless upon
terms degrading to their opponents,
and even refuse, in many instances
to mingle socially in public dinners
and barbaeues. We are now know
j ing to two occasions in which they
1 have refused to allow the Opposition
! party to join in a public dinner where
| both parties were to mingle. And
we see that at the recent discussion
I in Lincoln, between Messrs. Wright
and Jones, the parties dined sepa
rately—though the Opposition offer
ed to make a joint Barbacne—the j
Democrats refusing. Now, we never
did like the principles which the
Democratic party professes —for we
believed them destructive of good
government,—we shall henceforth
dispise them,for we take it that they’
are also destructive of good morals
and the pleasant social relations of
life.
What l>o you mean i
We take the following paragraphs from
the Atlanta Confederacy of the Gth inst.
Faith and Works.— All that is necessa
ry to elect Col. Akin, is for his friends to
i have faith, and each individual to do his du
ty. The canvass is l>eing conducted with
much spirit and ability by Col. Akin, and
the most cheering accounts come up from
all quarters of the State. His speeches de
monstrative of the humbuggery of Brown's
administration, and especially the manage
ment of the Ssate Road, have caused the
people to marvel at the deception that lias
been practiced upon them. Men are begin
ning to reflect and investigate for them
selves.
Wo would once more repeat that the
AIKIN BARBECUE comes off on the
last Wednesday in this month. Everybody
is invited. There will be good eating and
good speaking. We wish to see a generous
rivalry in every county to see w’hicb will be ;
represented by the largest delegation. Ral- !
ly, friends, everywhere, and strike one more j
blow for political honesty against official cor- i
ruption.
What we wish to be informed ujion, is the ;
“AKIN BARBECUE.” If you are going
to have a general blow out, please let us, in
particular, and the public generally, know
it ; and there will be such a gathering of the
people to Atlanta, as never was before
heard of. They will come flying from all
parts of the State, over the heads of the old
Fogy Democracy, like bullets at the battle J
ofSolfereno. —Ed. Cit. . i
A Base and Unfounded
Charge.
The Fetleral Union of tho 30th August. ,
with its usual reckless disregard for the truth of
what it says, charges that Col. A. R. Wright, of
JeffersoD, in a speech which he made in Macon,
i some years ago, mimiced Mr. C. J. Jenkins in
■ tiis walk. Upon inquiry, we are assured, by \
i many gentlemen who have heard all of CoL
! Wright’s speeches in this city, that so far
from making sport of Mr. JeDkins in any man- ‘
■ uer whatever, CoL W. has invariably spoken in j
the highest [terms of that geutlemau. The charge
of the ‘Federal Union,’ is therefore base and un
founded. Aud we know from the high personal
consideration in which CoL s Wright bolds Mr.
Jenkins, there is no possible political position
in which either could be placed, that would
cause the Colonel to make an ungracious re
mar'.’ of Mr. J., much less to mimic him. But
j we presbme the ‘Federal Union’ accomplished ]
j its end. when it spit out its slime.
Mississippi Sentiment.
“A Democratic meetingof Noxubee coun- j
tv, Mississippi, have resolved unanimously,
declaring that “if the abolitionized Demo
cracy should succeed in forcing Douglas,
through the Convention at Charleston, he
would not receive the support of the Demo
! cracy of that county.” The Minerssippum
newspaper, commenting upon this resolu
tion, says : “This is the undivided senti
ment of the Democracy of Mississippi; and it ;
|is right. The Southern Democracy cannot i
’ support for the Presidency, the man who, j
above all others, is the representative of a ,
policy which they hold to be the “shortest
I cut to all the ends of Black Republicanism.’
The Douglas Democracy of Georgia, with
Gov. Brown at their head, are endeavoring j
to practice a stupendous fraud upon the peo- j
pie of the States by representing Douglas as j
the safest man for the South. It is precise
ly the fraud the Democratic leaders attempt
ed in 1840, with Mr. Van Buren, “the
Northern man with Southern principles!’
Be not deceived, people of Georgia ! Trust
j no man. nor party, nor press, that advocates
i Stephen Arnold Douglas for President.
I.;iimclt in Savannah.
Mr. H. F. Willaik, jr., the extensive

wheel steamer from his yard on Saturday

Son, of Savannah, and is intended for the

For the Georgia Citizen.
Mr. Robert G. Harper and
the Kansas Bill.
Mr. Editor : —The Telegraph of the sth
inst, publishes the letter of Mr. Robert G.
Harper, accepting the nomination of the
Democratic party of the 7th District for Con
j gress. I take it for granted ihe Telegraph
endorsed the political doctrines, or rather
policy, of Mr. Harper, as set forth in that
letter of acceptance. Now, Mr. Harper says.
“I hat it is the only party organization, (the
j Democratic party,) national or sectional, from
which the people, either of the South, or
the L nion, have any thing to hope.” Well,
let us see what it, as a National party, has
dune for the country. First, it saddled upon
the South and country the popular or Squat- I
j ter Sovereign Kansas Bill,
j Let us now enquire into the merits of that
double-faced bill with all of its “ uncertainties
! and unmeaniny generalities.” The Kansas j
Bill, Mr. Harper says, “is a le-alfirmation of
the principles of the legislation of the Com
promise measure of 1850, on the subject of
i Slavery in the Territories.” I say it is not, 1
for the reason that the Compromise acts of j
j 1850, did not delegate to the people of the J
| Territories “the right io regulate their domes- ,
[ tic institutions in their own way.” The Kan
sas Bill does. That was a material and de
trimental departure from territorial policy,
j both to the rights of the South, as well to
! the peace and quiet of the country.
The uncertainties of the Kansas Bill is
j such that it permanently settles no princi- !
pie; for its friends North or South, caunot,
or do not agree as to its true meaning. It I
■ is so “ unmeaning ” that it positively means
nothing in its “generalities.” It hides its de
formities and unsatisfactory features under
j the popular term of “non-intervention.”— ■
The friends of the Kansas Bill claim that the
principle of non-intervention is the great
feature of that bill. Yes, its the non-inter
vention contended for by Cass and Douglas.
The Cass and Douglas doctrine was, and is,
this, ( and it is the doctrine of the Democratic
leaders in Georgia) that Congress should uot
establish, abolish, or exclude Slavery in and ■
from the territories; but that the people of
the territory, or the territorial legislature,
might do either.
Mr. Calhoun and Judge Berrien’s doctrine
of non-intervention was that Congress could
not establish, abolish or exclude Slavery iu I
and from the territories. Neither could Con- I
gress delegate the power to the territorial
Legislature to abolish, establish, or exclude
Slavery in and from the territories. Con
gress iu the passage of the Kansas Bill del
egated a power to the people of the territo
ries, that Messrs. Calhoun and Berrien denied
it constitutional to do. On the 27th June,
1848, Mr. Calhoun said, in a speech made
by him, in the Senate of the United States;
“Congress has no power to legislate on the
subject of Slavery in the territories. The
territories are the common property of all j
the States, aud it can only legislate on Slave
ry in the territories, as Congress legislates !
on other property there. I go a step farther,
and say, neither can the people, or the terri
torial Legislature legislate on the subject of
Slavery there.
Now, sir, that is the doctrine of non-inter
vention as held by Mr. Calhoun and Berrien,
and not the Cass and Douglas doctrine of
non-intervention, as is found in the Kansas
Bill, to wit: That Congress shall not legis
late on Slavery in the territories, but that
the people of the territory, or the territorial
Legis’ature, may do it. This latter doctrine,
Mr. Harper defends, and boldly asks if ihe
Opposition party wants a Slave code? This
idea of a Slavecode for the territories is bor
, rowed from Douglas: he is the first man that I
ever used it, that I know ofj aud lie did it
in a low moral sense, the 23.1 of Feb., 1859,
|in the Senate of the United States. The
Opposition party if Georgia, Mr. Harper,
stands upon the decision of the Supreme
Court ot the United States, as delivered by
Judge Taney in the Dred §cott case. There
we stand—and by it the people of Georgia
intend to stand, dispite Douglas, his Kansas
Bill, and Cincinnati platform. Mr. Calhoun
! never labored to establish the doctrine of
non-intervention, as held and taught by Mr.
Harper, Mr. Toombs, and all the Democratic
i leaders in Georgia. Can Mr. Harper point
to a single distinguished Democratic leader
North, that does not endorse, defend arid
support the doctrine of non-intervention, the
j popular or squatter sovereignty of General
Cass and Mr. Douglas ? Mr. Harper informs
j the people of the 7th District that the Oppo
sition party says Mr. Douglas contends that
; squatter sovereignty is in the Kansas Bill.
I I should like to know who has a better right
{ to know the features of a child than the
father and mother. Mr. Douglas is the father
of the Kansas Bill; consequently he knows
the peculiar features of his own child about i
as well as Mr. Harper does, at least I should
think he did. The grounds upon which the j
Opposition party of Georgia rally, is on the
decision of the Supreme Court of the Uni
ted States, and not on the Kansas Bill and
the Cincinnati platform, with their “uncer- I
I tainties and unmeaning generalities.”
The Opposition party of Georgia rally to
tfce ground of an economical disposition of
the public money, say 45 to 60 millions of
dollars for the ordinary expenses of the Gov
ernment, and uot 80 to 90 millions a year,
ar this Buchanan-Douglas-Kansas-Biil-Cin
cinnati-platform-Democraiiu party has
done. Mr. Toombs says it is the most cor
rupt government in the world. If Toombs
says it is the most corrupt government in
the world, how deep, how’wide, must be the ;
corruption of the Democratic leaders and the
government at Washington ? I leave the
computation of the corruption of the Demo
i era tic leaders and the government at Wash
| ington, to the ingenious brain of Mr. Harper
|to work out. What has the National Demo
cratic party done for the country ? It has
built up an abolition party at the North. It
has, in feeling, aDd almost in fact, divided the
Northern and Southern people. It has di
vide! aud distracted the country. It has
| built up a sectional party. These are some
of the Irnits of the National Democratic
! party, that of itself, ought to consign its
leaders to obscurity and oblivion. To dis
turb the fneudly relations of neighbors is as
great a sin as an individual can commit —
i How great a sin then has the leaders of the
Democratic party committed? If it is a
‘ mean office in an individual to disturb the
social relations of neighbors, how much
greater—how much meaner, is the office of
a disturber, if found in the Government,
whose duty it is, and ought to be, to encour
age by its actioa the most kind and friendly
relations between its States and citizens.
Mr. Harper says the South must unite upon
p obey and not upon principle. Well, that is
democracy! Unite upon policy! What else
Id id they ever unite upon but policy ? Poli
cy is all they ever had. As to principle they
‘b ad none. It has been and is, the policy of
; the Democratic leaders to unite upon that
; p obey that will secure to them the five loaves
aid two fishes. This policy ol the Demo
cratic leaders may be good Democratic doc
trine for them, but I opine the people will
|, ok to their interest and unite upon princi
pjf and jiot upon policy.
The time, Mr. Harper, is gone by for de
ceiving the people with policy. It was poli
cy to so frame the Kansas B 11 ss to make it
! construe both ways. To make it look North,
aDd to make it look South. You, Mr. Har
: per, seem to fancy the Opposition party iu
the 7th District quite weak; do not be de
ceived with so flattering a thought. The
; people of the 7th District are for principle
and not policy.
The people of Georgia, Mr. Harper, will
never unite upon the Douglas-Squatter
! Sovereigr.-Kausas-Bill. You say they must.
I say they will not- For the Kansas Bill
j contains the principle, and you know it, that
! Georgia repudiated in 1848, and would
not cast her vote for General Cass. The
Kansas bill says the powers of the Legisla
tive assembly shall extend to all rightful
subjects of legislation. Do you know, Mr.
Harper, that Mr. Doug’as and all the Demo
j cratic leaders North contend that slavery is
a rightful subject of legislation for the Ter
ritorial assembly? To prove whit 1 say on
this point, I quote Irom the man you now
affect to cate but little for. Judge Douglas.
i He say3 “the acts of Congress, establishing
the several Territories of the United SiaU-s,
i provided that “the jurisdiction of the several
! Courts herein provided for, both appellate
and original, and that ot the probate Courts,
and Justices of the Peace, shall be as limited
| by law,” — meaning such latvs as the Territo
\ rial Legislatures from time to time enact. Jt
taill be seen that the judicial tribunals of ihe
Territories have just such jurisdiction, and on
ly such, in respect io the rights of persons pro
’ perty retaining to the citizens of the Territory,
i as the Territorial Legislature shall see fit to
confer ; and consequently, that the Courts can \
j afford protection to persons and property no
\ further than the Legislature shall, by law, i
confer the jurisdiction, and modes of proceed
ing.
Here is a full and complete explanation of
protection to slavery by the Courts in the ter
ritories. And is it for that Territorial policy l
Mr. Harper—says the people of Georgia
must unite? These Courts, Mr. Harper, you 1
speak so much about, can do nothiug only
what the Territorial Legislatures gives them j
the power to do. It seems your Couris are
the creatures of the Territorial Legislature, j
I right here is plainly to be seen the bitter r
fruits of the Kansas bill. You cannot com
plain, for the very bill (Kansas bill) you en
dorse, defend, and support says, “the people
| of a Territory like those of a State have a 1
ight to regulate their domestic relations in ‘
their own way.” The Legislature of a State
establishes the Courts, and the Courts have
to carry out aud interpet the intention of
the law by the Legislature. The legisla
ture of a State may abolish slavery and ac’. ■
cording to the Kansas bill, and Mr. Harper’s
Territorial policy, the Territorial Legislature
may, “like a State” do it. Aud where is
the remedy; in the Territorial Courts ?
i why, according to the Kansas bill and Mr.
Harper, these Courts, “like those of a State,’
are but the creatures of the Territorial As
sembly.
Mr. Harper says Mr. B. 11. Hill, and his
friends of late seem to be standing on the
Dred Scott decision. If Mr. Harper had
thought for one moment, and have looked
over the resolutions of the Convention that
| nominated Mr. B. H. Hill for Govervor, he
would there have learnt that Mr. Hill at
that time, at least, stood on that decision.—
It was incorporated in the resolution of that
Convention. Mr. Harper says, the decision
of the Supreme Courtis on Mr. Hill. Well
that is more than can he said of Mr. Harper.
He will not stand on it, neither will he lot
it be on him. Mr. llill stands on that
decision, and the obligation to abide its sol
emn judgment puts it upon him. Mr. Har
per stands on the Cincinnati platform, and
the obligation to abide its results is on him,
and he no doubt, meekly bears the burden.
In conclusion, the state of Georgia en
dorsed the slavery feature of the Kansas
bill; and that feature of the bill is not what
it was represented to the people to be.—
Judge Iverson says it is not. He says the
Squatter Sovereignty of the Kansas bill lost
Kansas to the South. Judge Iverson, Mr.
Harper, said the Kansas bill was a cursed
and wretched thing of uncertainties. This
ends the Chapter for the present.
GEORGIA.
Poor Women and Gov. Brown s Vetoes.
Several bills were before the two last ses
sions of the Legislature for the purpose of ,
granting to ladies under unfortunate and
distressing circumstances, the privilege of
transacting business, free from the liability
of having their individual earnings seized
i for their Husband’s debts, or from his con/ j
trol. These bills passed the Legislature, and
| all were vetoed by Gov. Brown, apparently
: without any consideration of the nature or
S character of the case.
We do not know the precise facts con
nected with all of them, but the Legislature
did, and were the judges of them, aud no
doubt acted wisely and humanely in grant
ing the petitions.
There was one case at least, that met the
veto of Gov. Brown, which was of extreme
| hardship, to say the least of it, if not savor
-1 ing of brutality. This was that of Mrs.
Rosella C. Ziun, the wife of John W. Zinn
|of Augusta. We have the tacts before us,
from one of the most prominent citizens of
j Richmond county, which can be seen at any
tune if called for.
A Bill passed both Houses of the Legisla
ture authorising Mrs. Zinn to transact busi
ness in her own name on the representation
of the following facts. Her husband had
taken up, for about two years with a woman I
of base character, and becoming involved in ‘
debt beyond his ability to pay, sold out his 1
property, collected ail the means in his
power, and left the State with his prostitute.
Whatever property he left was seized by
; his creditors, and she, thrown on the world
with four small children to support —(three 1
daughters and a son,) in the best way she |
’ could. She commenced a business to ena- j
ble her to do so, and to guard her against
1 her husband’s creditors and himself, she po- \
titioned the Legislature to protect her earn- !
ings. They readily granted it, and it was ;
| sent to the Governor for his sanction, with
| other similar bills. Here is the Veto of j
Joseph E. Brown, to the prayer of a more
than widowed wife and orphaned children :
Executive Department, )
Milk Jgeville, Ga., Dec. 17th, 1858. \
To the House of Representatives:
I hereby return the bill entitled an act for
the reliet of Mrs. Caroline Colbert, wife of
Peyton 11. Colbert, of Habersham county,
and Rosella C. Zmn, wife of J. W. Zinn,
and Mrs. Ann Lodtman, wife of Charles
Lodtrnan, of Augusta, and other persons
herein named, without my sanction. By
the general rules of law, in Georgia, hus
band and wife, are, for the civil purposes, |
considered as but one person. This is the j
law of the New Testament and of common
sense. It has been sanctioned by the wis
i dom and experience of ages, and under its
workings societj has been prosperous and
happy. It is a general rule, and has the ad
i vantage of having promoted the best inter
est of the State. If the proposed privileges j
■ should be granted to the persons named in
the bill it is a maiter of great doubt whether
it would not produce tamily strife aud dis
! content by destroying the union of person i
and of interest necessary to domestic happi
ness In my opinion all this kind of class
legislation, which destroys or ren< er; uncer- j
tain well established and long tried general j
rules of law, by multiplyii g exceptions to j
such rules, is impolitic anu improper. It
takes up much time of the Legislature, costs
the State large sums in Printer’s fees. Clerk
hire, &c., and is generally oflittleor no ben

Some of our readers may now be disposed
1 to enquire, “Where in the New Testament
does Gov. Brown find that the poor deserted
j wife shall pay thedebtsofarrofligatoandvil
■ lair.ous husband ? Where does he find that
the bread shall be taken from the mouths of
her children, earned by her, to give it to his
creditors ?” \V e have many lady readers,
and we trust that some of them are as well
1 versed in the New’ Testament as Gov.
Brown, and we submit the investigation ot
the authority of that book, to them to settle.
We have never seen it. Also, where does
such a principle exist in “common sense” or
humanity, to sustain this doctrine ? Legisr
latures have often passed such bills, aud no
Governor ever before vetoed them. It may
be that it has been heretofore, from the
| .want of knowledge by the Governor and
Legislature of the New Testament, and
: lack of common sense—and our last Lj";s
----1 lature stands most directly charge i with it,
by his excellency. Jos. E. Brown. But
again, where would have been the “domes
tic happiness destroyed,” or “family strife
prodneed,” by relieving a distressed wile
from a villianous, d< serted husband ? Mtxt
, pitiful and contemptible are the other rea
sons given in the veto. Su<h as these—
“lt takes up the time of the Legislature” to
pass such hills. “Costs the Slate large stuns
of money, for Printer's tees! I Clerk hue,” Ac.
We know of no name to give to such tol
lv. egotism, inhumanity and concentrated
littleness, but Joseph E. Browr.

Railroad Convention at Ea
tonton,
Eatonton, Aug. 31st, 1859.
Pursuant to a call from the Chairman
<4 ihe Eaton ton and Madison Railroad
Convention, the Delegates appointed
from the several counties, assembled in
this place, this day at 12 o’clock, M.
The Chairman called the meeting to
order, and briefly explained the object of
the meeting.
On motion of I. S. Fannin, E-q., Mr.
| C. H. Andrews, of Morgan, was request
ed to act as Secretary.
The corresponding Committee, ap
pointed at the meeting in May last, were
called upon to report, and through their
Chairman, A. 11. Kenan, offered the
letters of the Committee, and those of
Col. John P. King, of May 30th, and K
K. Cuyler, of August 9tb, as published,
as their report.
i Upon motion, the report was re
ceived.
A. 11. Kenan, of Baldwin, then ad- j
dressed the Convention, congratulating J
the people of Middle Georgia at the I
, prospect, now so clear to his mind, of
this connecting link being made between
the Central and the Georgia Railroad.
lion. Joshua Hill, of Moigan, was
called upon, and addressed the Conven
tion in a happy and pleasant manner,
urging the importance of this road to
all.
The Chairman, Col. Wingfield, then
addressed the Convention, favoring the i
immediate buildig of the road.
C. B. Borrow, Esq., of Morgan, of
fered the following resolution :
Resolved, That we, the Delegates, in
Convention assembled, adopt the propo
sition of Mr. Cuyler, to confer with him,

Road.
Col. Kenan moved that an Executive
Committee of seventeen be appointed by !

Ex-ffinister Forsyth and Ji d;e
Meek l>iiiiu£ with Judge Dun-
Stas.
A Washington Correspondent of the Now
York Herald, under date of the 19th inst.,
says :
“Ex-Minister Forsyth arrived at the Na
tional this morning, accompanied by Judge
Meek and other Alabama Douglas men.—
They dine with Judge Dougins to-morrow. 1
These politicians are somewhat troubled to i
reconcile their sovereignty views with their
former opposition of Cass’Nicholson letter.
While claiming independent sovereignty for
terrirories, they fail to explain why Govern
ors and other officers are not elected by the
; people, instead of being appointed by the
Federal Government. The friends of Dou
i glas are much elated by their apparent
j strength in Alabama, as indicated by the
choice of Forsyth, Meek and Company to
tho Legislature.”
Well, ex-Minister Forsyth and Judge
Meek are for-seeing politicians. The evi
dently think that Mr. Douglas will be the
nominee of the Charleston Convention, and
have sought to gain his ear in time. The
one probably wants to go as Minister to St.
James or St. Cloud ; the other has been
wanting to
Stand “beneath Italia’s clinic,”
for a long while. Perhaps if they can make
a favorable impression upon Mr. Douglas,
and he should get the vote of the South,
aided by the twain in Alabama, their wish
|es may be realized. As for Judge Meek, in
particular, we have always been, and are
now, an admirer of the man. We have ad
mired him for his literary attaiments, and
I for his whole souled cleverness towards his
friends. But we do hope that the people of
Alabama will not be dragged into the sup
port of Douglas simply to gratify a few lead
ing men of the party who may seek thereby
! to gain distinguished appointments and large
j pay for themselves. Can the people of Ala
| barua be gulled into tlie support of their
arch-enemy, by the arts of politicians who
i seem only to seek their own personal ag
■ grandizement ?— Montgomery Advertiser.
Mr. Jones going ont of his way to assail Mr.
Jenkius in 1853.
Do the friends of Mr. Jenkins intend
to support the pretensions of Mr. John
J. Jones for a seat in Congress ? To all
who do, we wish to present the follow
ing extract from the correspondence of
the Chronicle dt Sentinel of 1853, when
this same Air. Jones was a candidate fir 1
Congress, in opposition to Mr. Stephens, |
and when he traveled out of his way, in
his rapid support of Johnson, to make
such a fling at one who towers as far
above him as the mountain above the ;
ant hill. Read the extract, and try how
it rests on your stomachs:
“He [Jones] also told us that no mat
ter if Johnson was a Disunionist and a
j Spirit Rapper, they never found him pass
ing any Algerine Late.”
Samples of Democratic Leaders.
The Memphis (Term.) Enquirer says:
California votes for Governor and mem- ;
beis of Congress on the Bth of Septem- i
ber. The revolution begun in the At- :
lantic States is likely to be successful in
the Pacific. The California papers rep- j
resent the Democratic candidates as an
| infamous set of fellows. The candidate
for Governor is charged with bribery
and theft. A candidate for Judge is re
poited to be a professed gambler, and
the candidates for seats in Congress, it
is sufficient to say, are thorough-going
supporters of the Administration of
1 James Buchanan.
A Terrible Melee.
A terrible melee occurred at a
i drinking garden, four miles from
Cincinnati, on the 224. The persons
engaged in the affray were all Gor
man*. and numbered some twenty or
thirty. The origin of the difficulty j
was caused by one German assaulting
the wife of another. The scene, as
dejected in the Commercial, must
have hoeu terriffic. Bottles, tumb
lers, pitchers, chairs, and everything
which could be handled were brought
into requisition, and used without
discrimination. The encounter seem
ed to have hut one object, that of
knocking down and dragging out,
and most effectually waif the object
reached, for scarce one of the part}
escaped without having some portion
of his person damaged. Many were
badly injured. The fight lasted lor
half an hour, and drew to the vicinity
crowds of persons.
i Who is Akin ?—Why, ho is
the man who was appointed Attorney fop the
State Road, and realized over seven thou
sand dollars for his services which the Sen
ate committee declared to be an unusual
large amount of money for the soevicos
rendered by him. —Lumpkin Palladium.
The above is an unmitigated falsehood, we
’ are charitable enough to suppose ignorantly
uttered. The Senate Committee did no such
! thing ; to the contrary, a prominent mem
ber of that committee has authorized the ;
j statement that their remarks upon exhorbit- ,
ant fees has no reference whatever to the j
accounts of Col. Akin.
Will the “Palladium” correct its state- j
ment, that its readers may know the truth? j
The Smithsonian Institution received by
mail a few days since a parcel, which, on i
taking oft’ the envelope, seemed to be a paste*
! board box considerably battered. On open
ing it, however, two thriving living speci
mens of the curious animal known ns the
. Texas horned frog, were discovered. These
j fellows came all the way from Huntsville,
’ Texas, quite comfortably in l ncie Sam s
S mail bag, without food or water. They have
i been placed on exhibition in the Smithsoni-
