The Bank Veto Message
WHO WROTE IT?
A Remaikable Coincidence.
A frw days prior to Got. Brown's famou*
Bilik veto message, it happ-ned that ads
tingu shrd jurist and politician was in th's
place on his way to Millrdgrvillr. N°w.
by chane<* or othsrwi*e, the afurrsad juris
and politician sp; k* oat in the presence o
a few gentlemen p.ettv fully n*l freely his
views on the Bank question and the Gov
ernor’s policy thereto relating. The jurst
referred to is not *o!y a talented, hut avert
social kind of a man—iii.kn g every b dv,
even those lar bvi>w him in intelligence, free
and easv. whi.e in his company —and not
withstanding his Democratic procliv lies an*
Bmk prj aiices, Ins opponents politely ex
tend to him tfie light hand ot teilowship n
a social, Iriend y and neighborly wav, bin
res rve to tbertfae!?.-s the r gbt ot j idgmen
on all polirical tu jects Hence the fret don
and nures-rved mnii< r in which he spoke
on the ccca-ion referred to. A iimj*nty • I
the gem 1.-nuen to whom the coov-rsa'i<>i.
was directed held opp >■*:'.* views <>n that
paiticuiar giibfect, but fcelinfr in-rompet-in
even with iie iruth on ttieir side, to ente
into an anam-ent w th the ju**st wiih t.i
battery ot s- p! ctry and ready replies at
bind, tiny concerned thtmsclves to belts
tenets outy.
\h ell, the jurist went on to Milled-.'-vine,
and in the course ot time—a v* . v or tw ->—
the famous B;.tik veto M sss-e was niade
public through the medium of the news
papers.
The gentlemen to whom the conversation
ab<>ve r-Sated was a-Mr-sse i. lead the mes
sage j is! as other peep’s retd it, supposing
o! c >ur?c ihct Gov. Brown was its author.
But as they read line a f ter hue. sentence
after sentence, and pnrauraph a'ler p*--
grapb, they were irretislil.ly, j;om the s.un*-

the uUn ancea of the jurist, wired must
have be- ii an out-birth prior for sumo days
to the r- u-iing forth the message, or ifae a
very reu.arKatie e ‘incidence.
Well, one reader who had heard and
marked veil the utterance* of the jurist,
conclude I that it was a very r. markable co
incident -; a strange sameness cf ioeas and
language but attached no other siguih.iauce
to it; aa: ! he, every man will caii a horse a
horse, a i iw a cow, a mule a mule, and so
on, aud \ by should it be regarded strange
that ot.e : ian in dictating & public document
should h pen to ure the same ideas, clothed
in many of its parts, in the prec.se languaee
uttered by another man on a previous uay
or date. Others however viewed the re
markable coincidence iu a diff rent light,
and after aking a clear view of whar seemed
to be a remarkable coincidence, as no coin
cidence af all. The utterance of the jurist,
and the message they regarded as the sum**,
and must have emanated from the same
mind, as no two minds are so precisely alike,
that, in writing a long ari.cle. the same ideas
and the same words will be used.

Gov Brown for Douglas
Col. Warren Akin and Gov. Brown have
been jointly addressed by a committee ot
Democrats in the upper portion of the Slate,
enquiring whether or not they would sup
port Stephen A. Douglas ior tlie Presidency,
if he was toe nominee ot the Charleston Con
vention. Col Akin answered promptly and
emphatically that “he would not “ It has
now beeu at least two weeks since the en
quiry was made and Joe Brown has been
sojourning lor several days at Cassvi ]•,
wnere he has bail every opportunity to re
ply, but has made no rttp mse. If he was
opposed to the F<reseller Dong as, <>r did
not intend to support him, it would have
been a Very easy taatfer to nave said so.—
Th*- people are entitled to know, but G-v.
Brown has refus- and to answer, thereby prov
ing by AV Spence that he is f-r Stephen A.
Douglas, a Frees-.rer and a traitor to the
South, I'-r the next Presidency. Will the
people of Ge< rg a, the Democratic party ot
Georgia cast their Votes lor a man who is
using his influence tor the election ol Doug
las to the Presidency? If Gov. B:owu is
opposed to Douglas, why is it ihai he will
not say so ? He very quickly, under his
own signature denied -he charge of secretly
instruct ng the hanks how to evade the law.
If he can answer a charge iu relation to
Banks, why not answer the charge that he
is aiding and assisting the Freesoiler D
iMo the Presidency? Are the pe- pie of
Georg a, of any parry, willing that this proud
sfavehoiding C nimonwealth glial! support
Douglas, or any other Freesoner, for the
Presidency? Are the fa-ope of Georgia
willing to endorse Gov. Biown iu his eftorts
to give the State to Douglas? We believe
they wid not CoL Akin and Senator lv-r
----son have repudiated Douglas, and have de
clared that they will not support him for
the Presidency ; but Gov. Brown, by rdus
ing to answer, has virtually endorsed him. —
And the voter who casts his vote for Gov.
Brown, will be voting for Douglas and Free
soilism. And il Gov. Brown is re-elected,
Georgia will be classed with Fret*'oil States,
and siax cry will receive a wound that ages
cannot I al or legislation repair.

• The Protection Doctrine.
One if the chief arguments against
the doctrine cf protection, which used ,
to Bea Democratic doctrine, was that
it had a tendency to create mot .polio.
It is here, on tins point—the idea that
banks are monopolies—that Gov. Brown
plants himself in the. stand he takes in .
his Bank veto Message. To Democrats
in the South, this doctrine of protection
has always been odious.
In a letter a lurched to the “Intelli
gencer,” T>r. Lewis states that the on
dollar and t indy cents deducted on the
freight of Georgia Iron, makes it so
imuh cheaper to the purchaser, that he
did not make it. So far so go<l. Bui
as Messrs. Cothran & Elliott’s Iron had
to pay the old high late of $3 25, while
has iron paid oily £1 35 per ton, th*
Iron of Messrs. Git h ran Si Ediott would
not be purchased so lot gas Di • Lewis
iron could be had. so that it elected a
complete monopoly for Dr. Lewis so tar
as he Could supply the demand. To
grant monopolies is anti Democratic,
and has heretofore been so n.-horrent to
Dr. Lewis’ views of justice tint he was
ready to null fy United States Laws and
dissolve the Union on acco: :tt them.
And, G >v. Brown, more recently, lias
emptied the vials ol his wrath upon
Bank monopolies.
By this protection, a grantirg of a
mom poly to Dr. Lewis, the freight f
the Iron formerly shipped by Messrs.
Coth-an & E liott, amounting to be

It will be remembered that Gov.
Brown, in liis message of 1858, re
commended that 8200,000 in bonds
of the State be delivered to the Uni
versity at Athens ; 850,000 to the
Military Institute at Marietta, and
850,000 to each of the denomination
al Colleges in Georgia—thus discrim
inating in favor of the Baptist.
Methodist and Presbyterian elmr *
es at the public expense. The fol
lowing is his rccommendath-n in hi
own words:
“For the purpose of Educating
Georgia Teachers in Georgia Col
leges, I propose that the State issue
her bond-* payable at s eh distant
time as the Legislature niav desig
nate, bearing i terest at seve** per
cei-t. payable semi-annually. The
interest to be paid out of the net
earnings of the State Road ; and
the bond® to be redeemed out of its
proceeds, should it ever b sold.—
That she deliver S2OO,tKH) of these
bonds to the Slate University at
Athens, as an addi tonal endow
ment ; 850,000 to the Georgia Mili
t rv Itstitnte, at Marietta, and
850,000 to each of the three denomina
tional Colleges in the State, in eon—
siderat on that each of said five Col
leges, will hind itself to educate an
nually, one y nng man as a State
student, for every 8200 of annual
interest which the endownment
1 given by the State pays to the Col
lege,” kc.
Can members of any other de
nomination vote for a man who
would b guilty of such a discrim n
ation ? We do not think that they
cau consistently do so.

Ha ipy, indeed, are the husbands
who are not owned by a “tip top,
fashionable wife but, if tlie* are
thus owned, and inclined to rebel, or
act out a revolution, they must re
treat, and diplomatize with all the
skill and craft o’ a Talleyrand or a
Chesterfield. If you don’t believe
your wife own- you, just try it.—
Even her weakness is her strength ;

like n hero, at a score of * s Iferinos
leading a forel .rn hope, jumping
ditches, sealing liijth walls, wit
death ce tain before him, will come

There is more p wer in such weap
ons than in any army with banners.
Owned yourself, indeed! A man
may fancy he does ; but fancy isn’t

him. How is it with you, reader ?

Our blustcri g Senator, the Hon.
Robert Toombs, has now made two
public speeches, in both of which
tie denounced the Southern rights
doctrines of Senator Iverson and
boldly announced his preference for
Douglas over any man of the Oppo
sition, either No. them or South
urn !!
There can no longer be any mis
take about it. The McW ig leaders
f the Georgia Democracy are de
termined to transfer their followers
to the support of Douglas, the cham
pion of Squatter Sovereignty These
men having sold out before, are used
to it: but will tne real Democracy—
those of the “original panel, who
have been displaced to make room
for tit se renegade Whig lead
ers—will they consent t < he turned
over to the traitor Douglas by the
treason practicing leaders.
The Cour e of Mr. Toombs in sup
porting Douglas, the champion of
squatter sovereignty, is more in
consistent than any he has done be
fore. In 1848, he was found in the
denunciation of Gen Cass, on ac
count of the squatter sovereignty
heresy put forth in the celebrated
Nicholson letter, which our Senator
vc y properly said was “worse than
the Wiimot Proviso itself!” At the
passage of the Kansas act, Gen.
Cass exulted over the practical
adoption of his favorite and ctrine—
Senator Douglas himself says the
Kansas hill contains Cass’ doctrine
he same identical doctrine which
Toonibs denounced in IS4X—and yet
Mr. Toonibs—consistent Mr. Toombs
—is now ready to support Douglas,
the champion of Squatter Sovereign
tg, which according to his own show
ing, is “worse than the Wiimot Pro
viso!” Can this be the same Mr.
Tooni* s who defeated the Clayton
compromise because it left the rights
of the S nth to he settled by the
Courts ? Is he the author of the
•H niilcarspeech? Oh, Mr.Toombs,
Mr. W ombs! “what a fall was that,
my countrymen!”
Will the Democratic voters if
Georgia in view of the signs of
the times, follow this arch trai
or Douglas ? If they have not
made up their minds to do so, how
can the vote for the re-election of
Gov. Brown.— Southern Watchman.

Below xre insert a (etter from Col. James
Edmondson of Murray county, accompan
ied with a secret letter from Joe Brown, in
which he exhibits Lbs accustomed treachery
to Lumpkin, and the most dire opposition
and hatred to Col. Spullock.
It clearly shows his hand in the intrigue
to defeat Lumpkins nomination, and
charges Spullock and every officer or em
ployee on the Stte Road as being corrupt
and dishonest. With these facts how can
Lumpkin, Spullock, E. B. Walker, and oth
ers support Joseph E. Brown for re-elec

all self-respect. Let the secret lettu* of Joe

partner in business, to whom one half in
terest in his establishment will be sold, on
the most liberal terms. A gentleman, with
a small capital, can have any reasonable
guarantee of making from 25 to 50 per cent,
on the investment. Or if preferred, we will
sell out the whole office, and take position as
Editor or assistant—our object being relief

Another Letter from Gov.
Brown.
Iton't fiiil to read Brown’s letter to Col. Edmund
son, of Murray, which will be found in to-day's pa
per, in which the former charges corruption upon
the previous management of the State Hoad. Asa
Literary production, this letter is a rare specimen of
.‘orthography, syntax and prosody.”
Suicide.
Thomas Napier, son of Skelton Napier,
Esq., of Vineville, committed suicide early
yesterday morning, in his own room, at tlie
residence of his father, by shooting himself
in the side or breast, with a pistol. Ho
was about 20 years of age, and had for some
time been laboring under great depression
of mind arising from the conviction that he
nover would recover from the disease (con
sumption) which was preying upon his vi
tals. On the day before his death he was
more cheerful than usual, and told one ot
his friends that he did not moan to die, but
get well.
Improvements.
Several IL,e building, are now in process of
erection, in this city, which will materially
and to the beauty and business aspects of
Macon. I>r. M. S. Thomson is putting up a
large store house on the corner of 3d and
Mulberry, opposite the Fiovd House, for a
new Carriage Repository. Mr. J. B. Ayers’
three story brick buildings on Mulberry
street will soon bo ready tor occupancy ; a.l
- Dr. Emerson's handsome new store and
office opposite the Lanier House. The
Washington Hotel .Block is thus tilled up,
except one small lot adjacent to Dr. K-,
with line brick buildings and the Bow is
destined,we think, to be iht place wheroeu* -
Fancy and Dry Goods dealers will most
love to congregate. On Cherry street, too,
opposite this office, a fine building is beiug
put up for the use of Carhart and Curd,
Hardware and Iron Merchants. Besides
these, all over the city, ihe evidences of
prosperity meet the eye arid gratify the tasie
of the passer by. We take great pleasure
in recording such indications of our onward
march to the first rank among the cities of
the South.
Business Reviving.
Our met ennuis and business men, gen
erally, arc now ready for any amount
of trade which the wants of the adja
cent country may require. Very large
and splendid stocks of goods are now on
the count< rs and shelves of dealers, and we
have reason to believe we shall have a sea
son of great prosperity in all departments ol
business. In a day or two we shall make
special note of our customers’ specialities—
and do all we can to promote the interests
of our beautiful and growing city. In the
mean w hile let our readers look into our
advertising columns and see where the best
goods and the best bargains can be had.
Holmes Monument.
Those wishing to sec a beautiful speci
men of sculptured marble can now be grat
ified by calling at the marble yard of J. B.
Artopoe & Son, on 3d Street, where tho
monument ordered to be erected over the
grave of Capt. Isaac Holmes can be seen,
for a few days. We understand that the
ceremony of raiding the monument will take
place under the auspices ot the Grand
Lodge of Masons of the State, at its annual
Communication commencing Oct. 26, in this
city. Tiiis monument reflects great credit up
on the artists employed to execute the work.
Iron City Commercial College.
Young men wishing lo prepare for Com
mercial life arereierred to the advertisement
of this Institute, located at Pittsburgh, Pa.
The College is in a flourishing condition, and
Mr. Jenkins, the principal, spares no pains
or xpense, to secure the most able Profes
sors in each Dcpariment. Quite a number
of pupils from the South have graduated in
this College, and thus go forth qualified for
almost any situation in commercial life. We
Lave a tew scholarships which we can fur
nish to young men who desire to enter the
Institution.
Another Aetv Paper.
From a prosp-cius in our columns, to
day, it will be seen that Rev. D. B. Clayton
proposes, shortly to commence the publica
nun of a wei k y paper, under the title of
■he ‘ Banner ol Love,” to be devoted to the
illustration and defence of the doctrines ot
the Gospel as understood by the Univer
salist denomination. Mr. Clayton is the
same gen th in in who has just closed a relig
ous discussion with the 11-v. Mr. Scott,
(Methodist,) of Americus, and we need not
say, is ‘ a workman that needeth not to be
ashamed.” We congratulate the Universal
lsts ot Georgia oq the prospect they have of
securing the services of so able and courte
ous a champion as Mr. C. in the capacity
of public Jurnalist, and wi.l not permit our
selves to doubt that the tens of thousands
of believers in the “Resiituiion of all things”
will rijoice in the privilege of having his
“B inner of Love” unfurled over them.—
Subscription to the paper will be received
at this Office.
Secoud District.
The Columbus Enquirer brings cheering
news from Decatur and other counties of
the ?d Congressional District Tne gallant
Douglas, is putting up Crawford to all he
knows, and the prospect is very fair tor a
gain to the opposition of the member from
the District. The Hun. M. J. Crawford is
called the cabbage seed candidate, for the
reason that he sent out large quantities of
seed from Washington to the planters of the
distrir* which seed turned out to be “bo
gus” or unproductive. Hence some people
immagine that Crawford was humbugging
them, and mean to let him slide. He has
been at Washington, long enough, we think,
for the good of his constituency, and a
change cannot wed be for the worse !
Don't Swap.
We have barned, from reliable authority,
that the Democrats of Bibb, despairing of
electing their whole Legislative ticket, are
concentrating all their energies to secure the
election of their candidate for the Sena’e.
To this end, propositions have been made
and will be made to Opposition men, to swap
off the Democratic candidates for Repre
sentatives for a vote for their Senator. “You
vote for our candidate for Senator, and we
will vote for your two for Representatives,”
is the naked, hare-faced scheme! But has
any Opposition voter any security that those
who propose such a base bargain will stick
to it on election day ? Not n bit of it. It
is only a trick or device to effect the election
ot the whole Democratic ticket, and should
be rejected with acorn and contempt.
Wo say then, to our friends, do not swap
a single name on your ticket. Vote the
whole ticket—Akin, Hardeman, Freeman,
Holmes and And-rsor., and see that all these
names, and none others, are on your ballot
before it is deposited in the box. Better
suffer an honorable defeat of the whole
ticket than to lose a single one of our can
didates through auy such scheme as that now
exposed.
Bibb Democracy in a Stew.
Notwithstanding the strong appeals made
j by the State Press of Tuesday in behalf of
l the Democratic Ticket for the Legislature,
) there was, on that same day a strong etfort
• made to change the ticket and substitute
i two other names for those of Judge Powers
j and L. M. Lamar. The Judge, we regret
to learn, is lying very ill at his residence in
Vincvillo, and Mr. Lamar, it is said, is de
tained in New York on account of sick
ness in his family. Hence the wish, on a
part of the portion of the Democracy to
take down Powers and Lamar and Btibsti
i tute the names of others. But it was no go !
! The change could not be made without a
“disruption” of the party, arid a like “dis
ruption” would have resulted from a differ
ence of opinion as to the proper persons to
; put on the ticket in lieu of those proposed
ito be taken down. And as it now stands,
a disruption of feeling exists. The party is
divided and distracted—and no mistake.—
The efforts making by some of the leader*
are altogether spasmodic— -and will not
I amount to much. Let the Opjandtion then
bo wido awake, and victory is certain. Let
j every man do his duty, without swapping
i and without compromise, and a'glorious tri
| umph awaits the “law and order” ticket,
; which may be found at our mast head
HARDEMAN, FREEMAN,
HOLMES, ANDERSON
Jeuhs Jones and hi* Overseer.
; We are informed that the Democratic can
didate for Congress, from the Bth District,
has got himself into hot water, by his treat
ment of a poor youngman who was employ
’ ed last January as Overseer on his planta
| tion, for Mr. Jones is a wealthy planter of
1 Burke.
The Overseer had a horse of It's own which
ho used iu the service of his employer. This
lr.rse took the distemper and unfortunately
infected one or more of the mule;* of Mr
Junes. One of the mules died from the dis
ease, and Jones made the Overseer give his
note for the value of the animal! This com
ing to the ears of the Overseers of that sec
tion, they have declared it unjust and un
generous for the rich man thus to impose up
on the poor member of their fraternity, and
have raised some clamor about the matter.
We understand that Jones has offered since
to give up the Overseer's note if the latter
will go for it. but this is declined by the |
Overseer. And thus the affair stands at last
advice-. <
Closing of the Campaign.
The preseut week closes the campaign ol i
general elections in Georgia. Another issue
of our Weekly edition will barely reach its
destination in ibo Statp, before the peop’e
shall have decided upon the r ulers of the
Commonwealth for the next two years. In
view of the importance that attaches to some
of the facts and principles which have been
developed in this canvass, and the manner
in which they have been discussed, make it
important, as weil as interesting to review
them to some extent; for their acceptance
or rejection will be materially determined by
the n subs of the election.
It has been seen that a portion of the
Democratic party of Georgia made, at the
beginning of the campaign, a vigorous sup
port of the claims of Stephen A. Douglas
for the Presidency —while another porliou
as vigorously assaulted them. This was an
unpropitious attitude tor a party and its
leaders, who claimed to be the only party
capable of maintaining the rights of the
South. But both fciioDS agreed upon the
Cincinnati platform, and the principles of
the Kansas-Nebraska Bill.
The doctrine of Squatter Sovereignty, or
the nehl of persons to vote in a Territory ot
the United States, in the settlement of it*
domestic affairs', the moment they arrive on
the soil, was a doctrine which had become
notorious as far back as 1848, when Gen.
Taylor and Gen. Cass run for the Presidency
Gen. Cass iiad announced himself in favor
of this doctrine, in what has been s > exten
sively known as bis “Nicholson Letter.”
Against this doctrine, as bemg subversive ol
the true spirit of our Territorial policy, tb
Whig paiiy of that day, with an ability amt
patriotism unsurpassed, warred with unceas
mg hostility. And Geoigia repudiated Gen.
Cas- and his doctrine in 1848, by atrium
puaut majority in favor of Geu. Taylor.
Hon. Robert Toombs and Hon. Alexander
H. Stephens were the leading men against
this doctrine.
It may be proper to remark, however,
that the leaders and presses of the Demo
cratic party at that time, denied that the
doctrine of Squatter S .vereignty was it:
Gen. Cass’s Nicholson Letter—ai.d denied
it most emphatically. Whe’her they intend
ed a deception or not, is a little difficult to
determine. But when Gen. Cass, after tin
election, declared that the doctrine of his
Niuholson letter was Squatter Sovereignty,
they with great warmth and indignation de
dared that they had been deceived in the
sentiments of their nominee. But it look
a little suspicious for their honesty, that a
large body of them are in favor of Ml
Douglas for President, who may be regard
ed at this time, as the great high priest ol
the doctrine.
From the debates in the last Congress
and from speeches made by distinguished
mer. all over the country, the people were
aroused by the suspicion that a base fraud
had been practised upon the South in the
settlement of the Territorial policy. I vest i
gation followed; and the astounding fact
has been as clearly developed a possib’e.
that the principles of the Kansas Nebraska
Bill, so much lauded by the leaders and
presses of the D. mocratio party, North ami
South, and 1 y which they have catried elec
uons almost every where for nearly four
years, is nothing more nor less than the odi
ous and repudiated doctrine of the Cas-
Nicholson letter, of SQrATTtR Sovereignty.
A feeble attempt was made in the early
part of the campaign, by the leaders and
presses of the Democratic party to deny tin
fact. But the debates in Congress, the
•pceehes made by Senator Douglas, Seiin
tor Iverson, Senator Houston, and othere
so overwhelmed them with tacts, that they
were forced into silence; or were only able
to condemn those gentleman’s views of the
principles of the Katisas-Nebra'-ka Bill, with
out attempting to prove them incorrect in
those views. The Opposition have, there
fore, driven their opponents from this posi
tion and silenced them.
The next strong hold of the Democracy
was the Cincinnati platform. But when it
was shown by no less a person than Mr.
Stephen A. Douglas himself, that the Cin
einnati platform endorsed Squatter Sover
eignty, the presses and leaders were silent
upon that head also. That faction whicl
advocated Mr. Douglas for the Presidency
have ceased to mention him. Whether this
is done from a regard lor principle, or be
cause they feared for popular success, is t<
be seen ; but a party whose presses am
leaders have shown so little moral honesty,
or regard for principle,can scarcely be crcdi
ted with those attributes so suddenly, am
ot so imminent an occasion.
That the leaders and presses of the Dem
ocratic party have, for a series of years de
ceived the people of the South in regard t*
the maintenance of their rights in the Terri
| tories, is now too evident for denial. Tbi
’ is the price the Democratic leaders liave paid
lor the honor of an affiliation with Northeri
Free-soilism, and a participation iu the spoils
of office. To niamiain its organization, it
appears that the leaders of the Democratic
party have sacrificed the equality of tin
South in the Territories. Arid we may b’
well assured that while the doctrine of Squat
ter Sovereignty is the basis of our Territo
rial policy, she can regain it.
It is for the people of Georgia, in the
election on next Monday t< decide this ques
tion. The success of the Democratic party
will be the sanction of the principles of the
Kansas Nebraska Bill, which has been clear
ly shown to be the odious and repudiated
doctrine of Squatter Sovereignty. If they
believe those principles to Ire right, and the
equality of the South in the Territories are
secured by them, why, let the people vote
for Gov. Brown and with the leaders of the
Democracy.
But if they believe, on the other hand, as
we know lias been clearly proven, that a
base fraud has been practiced upon them,
and the rights of the South wantonly and
wickedly betrayed, to further the selfish ends
of the leaders of the Democratic party, we
earnestly urge them to vote for Col. War
ren Akin, and with the patriotic leaders of
the Opposition.
The conduct of Gov. Brown in the affairs
of the State, sink into insignificance, com
pared with the great importance of break
ing the shackles which such leaders as Ste
phen A. Douglas and Bob Toombs, of tl.e
Democratic party, have bowed the South
with. The election of Gov. Brown will rat
ify and conlinn uot only all the wickedness
and misrule of the Democratic party, na
tionally, blit also Gov. Brown’! local peca
dillos—his brass and his boasts, and also
his double dealing with and about the
Banks.
Let us hope and trut that a wise and
overuling Providence will give to the peo
ple honest purpose of heart to do right, and
guide us as a nation safely through our po
litical storms.

suffrages of vheir fellow citizens
The ticket is a good one, combining great
octal worth and practical business talent
Mr. A. R. Freeman is one of the oldest
citizens of Macon and has for years brea
honored with important trusts, at the hands
<>f the people, in all of which he has acquit
ed himself with a fidelity of motive and ae -
I ’inn, that has endeared hurt to the people
He is eminently a practical man without a
; particle of clap-trap or “Bunkum” about

body. He is moreover, a temperance
nan. and will never be absent from Ids post
of du'y or be i-und in places which a g-n
----tletnau cannot visit without a loss self-re
spect. As he, like his associates on tne
I ticket, is a drafted soldier, am! cannot be ex
! pect. and to electioneer for himself, his friends
should see to it that he is put through, by a
j nandsome majority.
ior the house, we have Judge Win.
Holmes and Judge (suffered Anderson, both
of whom are well known gentlemen, of the
first order of business talent and persona!

Judges of the Inferior Court ol B oh, and

md there is not a stain upon his character
as a gentleman and a Christian. He w.H
make an excellent member of th-- Legisla

Oi Mr. Anderson, we “will only say, that
ail parti.-s here consider him one of the most
promising young Ltwyers of the State.—
He is abic and eloquent in speech and sound
and logical in argument. His character is of
til a highest grade, personally” and socially,
and Hie people of Bibb owe it to themselves,
to place him in the Representative branch
<f the Assembly. ll.s practical good sense
and earnest, conscientious regard of all mor

With such a ticket, then, let no proper ef

and victory is eerta n. We are proud of o;ir
men and will rejoice to see them receive a
triumphant support.
Something Against Akin at
Last
The leaders and press if the Democracy
were never so put lo it, to find something
; ‘aulty in the character and standing of an
Opposition candidate for Governor, as on
he occß9 on < f the present canvass. Col.
Akin has lived a life of such excellent vir
tue —so noble, disinterested and patriotic,
that even the defiling hands of the corrupt
leaders and presses of the Democratic parly
.ran find nothing in w inch to c ndemn h*n
until recently 7, some man of straw, or bn k
ram, or something else, who answers to the
C“guoman of “C"1. Phillips,” has announced
in a speech at Marietta, that Col. Akin told
him in 1850, that if South Carolina did secede,
“and it was necessary, he, (Col. Akin,) would
volunteer and march with the Federal troop?
to help whip tier balk into the Union.*’
Tne State Press of the 22d ms'aiit, is per
fectly horrified at this announcement; and
makes as great a to-do over ;t, as if every
Southern Rights Democrat in Georgia was
in danger of being eaten up by Col. Akin.
What this man “Phillips ’ attributes to him,
Col. Akin may or may not have said; we
very much question it it is rendered in is
ti ue sense; for wo have some experience of
how a Democratic politician can twist and
torture what aa opponent says, till the au
thor of the remsik would not know it hin
-elf. Os course wc cannot say positively
; that Col. Akn has been misrepresented by
rnisDemocraiicstump speaker—but welh;i.k
j if. more than probable that lie has.
i But admitting that Col. Akin and and say tin
| thing, the State lb-ess ami its party have no
right to complain at it. It Col. Ak n wt? 3
staunch Union man in 1850, there were Co,-
000 men in Georgia trt 1851, who stood
where lie did. There was a majority ot lc
-000 in this State that acted wr.n Col. Akin
m 1851.
But where was the Slate Press parly n
1832 and 1833? Did tiwy stand by South
Carolina then? When “ Northern aggre?-
-ton” galled her at that time, did they a?-
j tier to repel it? Far front it Gen. Jicksuß
j hreateued her with the power of the G >v
l eminent, and th. y sustained him in it. 1 his
-arne “aggressive North,” which the SUiU
Press now pretends - to complain of, threat
| eued South Carolina with “a million of
; musket bearing freemen and its pat ty sup
ported the threat. John Tyler, then Gov
! einorof Virginia, told General Ja< k-on that
\ fie should not inarch the Federal truopi

I hut ‘over the dead bodies of Virginia is ‘ —
■ Did the State Press's par’y sustain J ‘- n
Tyler in that ? We answer, no!—empk* u ’
• wily, NO!
Joel U. Poinsett, a “pet of the D-mocri
cy,” held b’gli position under Gen. Jackson,
was a native oi South Carolina; and jet te
went over Pi Castle Pinckney, near Cbarlr 4 -
U>n. and dr lied daily with the Federal tro.’,”*-
I to make himself proficient in the mii't”. T
j art, that he tri’ght lead this same Dco*xt’ -
party against South Carolina!
The SUite Press in undertaking to an-
I demu Col. Akin for being a Union m*r.
knocks its own political fathers on tbebeaJ
j if it means now to say that its intent;*?:?
are to dissolve the Union, the 1 n! • 1
Democrats will know how to act —bit*- 1 I
I oas repeated this charge of “Col. Pb : !’■
•or mere political effi ct, which “*c t ’ *-*
I be the case-—why the Southern Pi P- ’
Democrats would as soon trust Col. - n
as the Slate Press and its party.
Col. Akin is a? fi m and staunch a defend
j f the rights of the States as any
the country —but he is at the sain*- t ,a)f 1
friend to the Constitution and the Un •”
Fie would not dissolve the Union for” - ;
nd transient causes.” The gret p* si '',’
Col. Akin and his party is, for the Uiyn
