U„| 0 ii scut intent ot Jefferson Davis.
T.thc Editor of' the New York News :
Tho papers ‘abound with appeals to
President .Johnson lor clemency and par
don to Jefferson Davis.
Tho only ground upon which applica
tion oin bo justly la-cd, is the principle
that -miKltt Rives right” irrespective ol
justice, ami that tho sueeos.-dul violator ot
n-'ht by physical force may tease persecu
tion Alter victory, ghow clemency by not .
inflicting injury beyond enforcing submis-
^Certain it is that no tribunal, before I
whom Jefferson Davis may bo tried, can
truthfully liiul him guilty of any crime
a^if.s* tho Constitution. Mr. Davis feels
f. othat lie is the aggiioved and injured
party, and that President Johnson can
show no constitutional right lor bis im-
pri a onipont.
It n genuine, disinloreslcd attachment to
the Union under tho Constitution be a
test, then the record of Mr. Davis will
fhino with spotless brightness, while Mr.
Johnson was elected by the votes of every
man who for more than thirty years have
been tin 1 avowed, bitter, uncompi^mising
and active enemies of the Union under
the Constitution.
Mr. Davis’ well-known quarrel with
Senator Toombs was upon tho supposition
that Toombs had charged him with being
iseparationist. Mr. Davis denounced tho
charge us a falsehood, and challenged then,
as subsequently • lie did in tho Senate a
similar allegation by a Senator, any evi
dence to substantiate such a charge; but
none could bn adduced.
When in the Senate Chamber Senator
Wado declared, and most truly declared,
his conviction that tho whole Southern
mind labored under the linn belief that
the accession of the Republican party to
power vii.. imminently dangerous to their
peace, dignity und most, inti mate institu
tions. Davis made his elaborate speech,
in which he uttered these remarkable
words, “fraternal feeling was all the South
asks to perpetuate tho Union. For him
self ho be'ioved it did not exist in tho
Northern heart. Submit to our people the
evidence that hostility does not exist, and
1 feel that all this bitterness will cease,”
because where fraternal feeling dwells, in
ter tional injustice could not; und so so*
liciiuiis for 'an »xcuso to remain in the
Union” was the South, he added, “if the
Uepublicnn paity would, in goyd faith,
offer the Crittenden Uompromi-o it would
be received as a sufficient evidence of fra
ternal feeling, though it fell far short of
their constitutional rights ns expounded by
the Supremo Court.”
Let President Johnson say, upon this
record, whether Jefferson Davis, whose
“loyalty” to tho Union was thus express*
eJ. deserves to condemnation, or those
who repudiated such manifeslions of de
votion to the Union.
»So well known was Mr. Davis’ desire to
Perpetuate the Union, that it was these
very manifestations of attachment to it
which caused tho people of the South to
cho' -e him f<»r President, and the Tribune
pronounced the election, ot Davis and Ste
phens over tho Yanceys and tho lihotts a
triumph of tho Union party’, anil that they
were elected to lead back tho States into
the \ mon.
•? r »- O’Connor, in his.groat speech of
October, lHOO, mado a similur announce-
luent us to the loaders in the Confederacy.
, 1 il may be asserted that Mr. Davis’
repiy to the delegation from tho Maryland
^RMlttture (sent to him simultaneously
with one to Mr. Lincoln to request them
.. negotiation fur a settlement ol all
aimcuitics) was so comprehensive as to in-
uae negotiations for a return to tho

This distinguished gentleman is a can
didate to represent the third district in tho
ensuing Congress. As a gentleman and a
judge he is known favorably throughout
tho district. During the years ho haa been
the bench of tho Superior Court he has
won the ndmirafion ot the pcoplo by his
wise and firm a 1 ministration of the law.
As a judge, ho is bold and fearless, but
never unkind. As a gentleman, be is pol
ished, and as a politician, though ho has
never before appeared prominently as one
before the people, he is well posted in tho
uffairs of the nation, and knows tho no-
sitios of the people and how to provide
for them.
In policy ho is fully committed to tho
support of President Johnson, but re
serves for himself tho manly right to dis
criminate and differ independently from
the President when ho considers him in
the wrong, llo is strongly # attached by
overy tie of family and patriotism to his
native State, the latoof whoso pooplo will
bo his through weal and woe.
Judge Bigharn is every way competent
for the position fur which ho is a candi
date, and we do liopo that the people of
liis district will give him a hearty support
at tho polls. In him they will have a rep
resentative who will hold their interests
dearer than all other ambition, lie will
bo true to tho last to tho trust that tho
people may repose in him. There are few
men who would carry with them to ■Wash
ington greater weight of character than
ho. He is one of those men whoso opin
ions others arc hound to respect, and wo
believe, if sent to Congress, he will wield
an influence that will bo productive of tho
very best results tu his constituents and to
tho whole country.
A more formal announcement will ap
pear in the Era in a low days. In tho
meantime, we wduld say to tho people of
the third Congressional district, give
Judge Bigharn the support ot which he is
worthy, and that will carry him to Con
gress by a sweeping majority.

Editor Enquirer: As it is now evident that
tho Convention will not change tho presen 1
Senatorial District, and as tho action of the
next Legislature will bo very important and
noed our best men in that body, I would ro-
spectl'ully suggest Col. B. A* Thornton for our
next Senator. I know Col. Thornton woll, and
consider him ono of the most intellectual mon
of his ago in tho State. When in the Legisla
ture from Muscogee county, eight or ten years
ago, although then young ho took a very prom
inent stand, and it was then thought that no
young membor could compoto with him. By
ordirmry rulo, Chattahoochee county is now
entitled to tho Senator, and as Mr. Thornton is
living in Chattahoochee county, 1 trust that
thore will be no opposition to him.

To the Voters of tho 2d Congressional District:
In view of tho present condition of our coun
try, tho result of tho late revolution rendoring
our prominent friends ineligible to a soat in
Congress for tho present, I have boon induced
by friends from different parts of the District to
becouio a candidate.
If I am your choice I will support tho resto
ration policy of President Johnson, looking to
a complete return of tho Southern States to
their formor status in the Union. Tho only
hopo for poace, happiness and prosperity is
freoand choerful support of the union of tho
States upon constitutional limitations.
There is sorrow at tho grave of a first horn t

I iomember the touching lamentation of that
rofits
Mr. Editor: Tho wisest philosophers
who havo adorned the annals of tho
world's history havo taught that tho man
who is most to bo admired by his follow
men is ho who quietly, yet boldly, selects
tho puth of duty, and adheres to it un
swervingly.
The ancients loved and honored such a
man, as is told us in tho chaste und classic
words of Horace:
“Justum ct ienacem propositi virum,
Non civium ardor prara jnhcntium %
Non vultus instant is tyranni
Mente quatit. solida
Wo moderns, Mr. Editor, admire such 1 when lie mourned an only
a man rot less than did our worthy pre
decessors of Rome. We admire a man
“who is just and fixed in his purpose,
whom tho ardor of his follow-citizens can**
not hurry into wrong, and whom tho
countenance of tyrants can never disturb
ill his determination.”
Just such a man is presented to tho re
spected voters of tho Third District, in
cluding our own honored section, in Ben
jamin II. Biqiiam, candidato for the U.
►S. Congress.
Impress it on the minds of ull lovers of
our distressed country “to bo up and do-
| ing with a heart for*any fate;” and if they
wish a man who will represent their sen*
timenfs, and who will labor with untiring
devotion for the lasting welfare of the en
tire country, that man can be found iu

Tho Convention has appointed tho 15th of
November, proximo, tho day for tho election
of members to tho United States Congress. T
am a candidate for your suffrages. In reply to
numerous communications i havo received, botn
before und since the action of tho Convention,
■ m tho subject, ami, especially, in reply to a
very kind note, which is uiuieeo-sary to print,
addressed to mo by nuito a number of my neigh
bors and friends in Troup county, whom 1 havo
so often and so acceptably represented in tbo
State Legislature, 1 respectfully submit tbo fol
lowing statement:
I urn iully committed to tho firm and sub
stantial support of tho President, reserving to
myself tho manly right to discriminate and to
disagree with him where I may consciously
think ho is wrong. 1 will not eringo to power
nor sacrifice principle. Nor will I, by any act
or expression of mine, countenance tho pro
scription of any man for past opinions. A feel
ing of amnesty should prevail amongst us.
I love Georgia. She is my native.State. Tho
most ardent wish of my litc is, that she bo soon
relieved from her present embarrassments and
humiliation and bo restored to the cxerciso of
all her privileges aud functions, tbo acknowl
edged equal ol ouch State with which she may
bo associated in Government. I admire her
bravo, noble pooplo. I partook of their joys
nnd sorrows in tho rccetv struggle. I deem it
an houor that, us one ot her humble rei
talives, I was tho first man who introduced a
Bill in hor General Assembly lor tho relief of
those whoso absence in the Held of carnage
rendered their loved ones temporarily depen
dent un others for help. 1 als > fcol glad that,
afterwards, as Chairman of tho Cominitteo on
Agriculture and Internal Improvements, of
Finances, and on the Judiciary, ot tho House
of Representatives, and as a member of various
Fpocial Committees, to whom, from time to
time, the question of providing for tho families
of soldiers was referred, I was onabled to ron-
dcr ossontial sorvieo to those who. amid tho
cruel exigencies of civil war, would otherwise
have suffered. Other services which it has been
my good f i tone to render as a legislator, and
in the practical work of developing tho materi
al resources of tho country, I humbly trust, are
known. I do not rotor to them in a boastful
spirit. It was my duty to my brave brethren
who, by inexorable events which none of us
could control, were, equally with myself, de
prived of tho sweet society of the loved ones at
botno, that l should e rnc.-tly apply all my
powers to avert famine an 1 prevent accumula
ted suffering. 1 speak in all sincerity, when I
say the fate of our people ‘h ill by my fate.
