Agreeably to previous notice, a re

We advise our friends who are pas

tel. They will find Mr. Butler always
ready and willing to accommodate them.
His boost is quite convenient to the De-
P* t
Kossuth in Georgia.
The distinguished Magyar passed
through our State last week, on his way
from Mobile, via Montgomery, to Charles
ton. His passage through was quiet, so
far as wo have heard, and no great dem
onstration was made in his behalf at any
point.
Wo had tbe pleasure of seeing tbe
Governor in Atlanta ; he is quite a Sue
looking man, and is calculated to make
friends every where by his personal ap-
pesranoe and fine address. He was ac
oontpanied by Madame Kossuth and his
■nite, composed of perhaps a dozen Hun
garians.
We learnod from a conversation which
bn bold with a gentleman while in At
lanta, that he feels greatly mortified at
the eoldness he has met with in this coun
try, and especially at the South. He
remarked that " the people had been
pouring cold water on bim ever since be
left Washington.” As a great man be
has our sympathies, but we cannot re-
above card of Mr. Miller, takes occasion
to branch out in a long tirade of ridicule
at l be position of the C. U. party, and
especially at tbe idea of insisting upon
the recognition of tbe Georgia platform
in the National convention. " It is ab
surd, the Ed. remarks, to suppose tbe
Baltimore Convention will commit itself
at this quiet time of peace and harmony,
to prospective disunion, “ disruption,
civil war and a Southern Confederacy,
as shadowed forth in the "bloody fourth
resolution of the Georgia platform ? The
idea is absurd, visionary, nonsensical.”
Now we quote this as a sample of the
inconsistency and deception of tbe South
ern Right’s press of Georgia. It is
known, and fresh in the memory of all,
that “ disunion,” “ disruption,” “ se
cession,” constituted the ground-work,
the basis of the now defunct Southern
Rights party with tho Constitutionalist
as its leading organ. The editor now
by artfully garbling from tbe fourth res
olution of tbe Georgia platform attempts
to saddle upon the Union party the odi
ous measures he himself a few months
since advocated. The very party wbicb
had its origin in opposing these heresies
is now attempted to be made to bear the
responsibility of their defence and agita
tion. " These quiet times of peace and
harmony to which is referred bad never
been enjoyed if the advice of the Consti
tutionalist and his party associates had
been followed. To the Georgia platform
and the Union party, the whole country
is indebted for “ these quiet tiroes.”—
The friends of the Union, of peace and
of order throughout the entire laud hail
ed its adoption with pleasure and rejoiced
iu the evidence it gave that amid all the
threatening and discordant elements a
country.
Resolved, That a committee of five be
appointed by tbe chair to report the
names of suitable delegates to attend the
a proposed Convention at Milledgeville on
tbe 22d of April next, which was unan
imously adopted.
The chair appointed as that commit
tee tbe named gentlemen:
Col. Bobert, W. Young, J. Gala-
tin Gudger, James Sharp, Hod. 31.
Greer, and Bobert R. Hewett.
Tbe committee haviug retired for a
few minutes reported tbe following nam
ed gentlemen as suitable delegates to
tbe said Convention, to-wit:
Coke A. Ellington, James G Juien,
William Kelly, and David Withrow,
Esq’rs.
Col. R. W. Young, offered the fol
lowing resolution:
Resolved, That in tbe event that all
of the said delegates should not attend
said Convention, that those attending be
authorized to cast the full vote, or if
none of them should be able to attend
that they have power to appoint some
person or persons in their stead, and
that if Gilmer coonty should not be rep
resented in said Convention, that the
delegates from Cass county be authoriz
ed to cast the vote of Gilmer county,
wbicb was adopted.
Resolved, That the proceedings of
this meeting be signed by the chairman
and secretary, and published in tbe
CassviUe Standard. The meeting then

when they had been the second time de
feated they held a great meeting iu Mil

the entire platform. That this adherence
and this dutiful acquiescence to tbe de
cision of the State was merely affectation
we very well know. Indeed tbey have
not been able to conceal their disgust for
it—it is manifest despite all their patri
otic pretensions. Tbe above quotation
from the Constitutionalist gives evidence
of a deep seated hatred to the platform
and its principles. Yet he now seeks to
make the impressioa that he is a genu

effort there is viable an abborenoe of the
doctrines to the promulgation and main*

Union Meeting in Murray.
A portion of the Union party of Mar-
ray county met at Spring Place on the
6th inst. for tbe purpose of appointing
delegates to tbe Milledgeville convention
on tbe 22d of this month Maj. Wm.
A. Beck was called to the chair, and B.
B. Browne requested to aet as Secreta
ry. A. M. Turner, Esq. offered the
following resolutions:
"Resolved, That tbe chair submit
the names of two suitable persons to this
meetiog, as delegates to the Constitution
al Union Convention, which is to assem
ble in Milledgeville on tbe 22d inst.
Resolved, That said delegates be left
untrammeled and free to aet as they may
think best, to secure harmony, and pro
mote the interests of tbe party.”
Before potting the resolutions to a
vote, Maj. C. S Broyles rose and asked
permission to make a few remarks in fa
vor of the resolutions, aad explanatory
of bis coarse in that respect Ha thought
it due to himself aad tbe meeting, as he
had hitherto aeted with Southern Bights
party of this eoaaty. Leas* being grant
ed him, be proceeded to theexplaution.
Hie reasons were elear aad forcible; in
foct, tha Major's speeeh wassoeh an ooe
desire to know the truth, I think this
communication ought to be noticed.—
Tbe writer says:
“ Their (Mr. Cobb and 3Ir. Wadley)
policy seems to be, to permit produce to
accumulate at its important shipping
points, then, without notice, to advance
freights some 15 to 20 per cent.”
Now, there is not one word of truth
iu this sentence. 3Ir. Wadley has not
permitted produce to accumulate at any
point on the road, and three of the a-
gents on tbe road have assured me that
the freights now charged were establish
ed by William L. Mitchell, Esq , and
that 3Ir. Wadley has made in them no
change whatever. Before Mr. Wadley
took charge of the road produce did ac
cumulate not only at important points on
the road; and be has been engaged,
with untiring energy, almost night and
day in removing it. And I venture to
assert that more produce has been trans
ported on the State Road within the last
four weeks than was shipped in any eight
weeks during the four years it was un
der the management of Gov. Towns and
his Chief Engineer. And yet there is
one (I hope there is no other) so indif
ferent about the truth of what he says
as to write and have published such cal
umnies as I have quoted. " One Inter
ested” ought to feel some interest in
knowing whether his statements are true
or false ; and knowing he ought to give
some slight colouring of truth.
But tbe Constitutionalist seems to in
dorse this communication, and says that
it is “ from a responsible source,” and
that it is published as an "admonition
to 3Ir. Wadley,” and that it intends to
“ continue the hoarhound, and repeat
the dose frequently until the desired ef
fect is produced.” If the effect desired
by the Constitutionalist is to see the
State Road in the same wretched, miser
able condition, it was when Mr. Wadley
was appointed Superintendent, I appre
hend it will be some time before it en
joys that gratification. And I would
suggest to tbe Constitutionalist that a
frequent appearance of such communica
tions in its columns, and with its indorse
ment, however responsible the source
may be, will very speedily produce for
it an unenviable reputation for truth and
veracity. It may be that the Constitu
tionalist and its correspondent have both
been imposed on, and if so, I doubt not
its editor will take pleasure in making
the necessary correction. If tbe Consti
tutionalist doe? not acknowledge the in
justice which has been done Mr. Wad.
ley, through its columns, then the proof
of the charges is demanded. Will it be
given ? We shall see.
I discover that some one has imposed
n n the Chronicle & Sentinel also. I as
sure Dr. Jones that there is no truth in
the charge against Genl. Bishop. His
son-in-law has no greater facilities al-
sbipment, and every merchant ready to
fight for the privilege of sending his for
ward by the earliest trains, sufficient
ground-work to fabricate the charge of
favoritism upon, could have been easily
conjured up by his ambitious rivals, e
ven though the said son-in-law had ship
ped but one car load a-montb. W«
leave this charge to the discernment of
a just public, confidently believing that
they will not condemn on a charge
flimsy and ridiculous as this.
Tbe third charge—that freights ha-e
been advanced, without notice, by 3Ir.
W ad ley—is, absolutely and nncondition-
uWy, false! It may be, and is doubtless
true, that Col. 31itchell deviated, in
some particulars, from the regular Tar
iff of Fieigbts wbicb he established and
bequeathed to Mr Wadley; but we
speak ex cathedra when we say that no
article has been shipped over this Road,
since Mr. Wadley’s connection with it,
upoa which a higher rate was charged
than is authorized by the published rates
alluded to.
The insidious effort of the Constitu
tionalist's correspondent to stigmatize
the Superintendent of the State Road as
a political trickster, is, to say the least,
exceedingly unjust. 3Ir. Wadley is no
politician—has never been one, and de
sires no notoriety as such. Neither was
his appointment a political one ; it was
conferred solely on account of bis exten
sive practical knowledge of, and experi
ence in. Railroad matters. A mechanic
of humble pretensions, he has reached
the enviable position which he now oc
eupies by incessant application, for a se
ries of years, and the most indomitable
perseverance and industry. He enjoys
—and very justly, too—a high reputa
tion as a practical Business man; this he
glories in ; and it is unreasonable, aye,
preposterous, to suppose that he would
sacrifice this hard-earned and highly-
cherished reputation to political ends —
In a word, the Superintendent is wedded
to the interests of the State Road, and
feels no anxiety for the welf? re of this
or that line, or the success of one or the
other political party. His appointments
and conduct, thus far, fully sustatn this
assertion ; and Time will vindicate our
prophesy as to his future management of
the State Road. For ourself, we think
His Excellency displayed much judg
ment and sagacity in calling 3Ir. Wad
ley to manage tbe affairs of our great
work ; for, it is our belief, that, had he
ransacked every State in tbe Union, it
would have been impossible to have
iound a more competent man, who has
mixed less with party politics, or who
has fewer political associations and less
political ambition, than William 31.
Wadley has.
Thus much have wc felt called upon
to say in defence of a worthy and meri
torious public officer, whose greatest fault,
tenccs as any article it has ever been my
misfortune to read For instance—note
tbe following :
“ We are assured that our State Ronds
were at five or six per cent premium when
Gov. Towns went out of office. Now par
is the most, we believe, that has been
offered for them in New-York.”
At what period of Gov. Towns’ admin
istration, I would ask the Editors of the
Union, did Georgia Bonds command a
premium of even one per cent ? Upon the
contrary, I assert that never was a dol
lar’s worth of State Bonds disposed of at
a premium until Gov. Cobb’s adminis
tration. Even a forced sale of $200,000
to meet the unjust demands of creditors,
made so by Gov. Towns’ assumption of
power, commanded a premium of near
212 per cent. And now I venture tbe
assertion, based upon undoubted author
ity. that the whole amount, of tbe State 6
per cent Bonds will be disposed of at a
premium of at least three to four per cent,
being a clear gain to the State of $15,-
000 to $20,000.
This then is the result of Gov. Cobb’s
hawking and “peddling them all the way
from Savannah to New-York.” I am
certain that tbe tax payers and honest
thinking people of Georgia will justify
the course of Gov Cobb, if the diminu
tive fault finders of the Union fail to dis
cover any thing cteditable to the Execu
tive or advantageous to the Slate in the
visit of Gov. Cobb to New-York. If 8
per cent, bonds were disposed of by Gov.
McDonald at par, and 6 per cent, bonds
by Gov. Cobb at 4 per cent, premium,
which deserves the most credit for finan
ciering?
Every body must be amused at the
Lilliputian war of the Federal Union

tion of the votes in tbe House of Repre
sentatives on tbe above resolutions for
which wc are indebted to tbe editor of

The resolution presented by Mr.
Jackson, reads as follows:
" Resolved, That wo recognise the
binding efficacy of tbe compromises of
tbe Constitution, and believe it to .be
the intention of the people, generally,-
as we hereby declare it to be ours, in
dividually, to abide sucb compromises,-
and to sustain the laws necessary to car
ry them out—the provisions for the de
livery of fugitive slaves, and tbe act of
the last Congress for that purpose, iu*
eluded; and that we deprecate all fur*
ther agitation of questions growing out
of that provision of the questions em
braced in the acts of tbe last Congress
known as tbe Compromise, and of ques
tions generally connected with tbe insti
tution of slavery, as unnecessary, use
less and dangerous.”
The resolution presented by Mr. Hill
yer, reads as follows:
"Resolved, That the series of acts
passed during tbe first session of tbe
3lst Congress, known as tbe Compro
mise, are regarded as a final adjustment
and permanent fettle men t of the ques
tion therein embraced, and should be
regarded, maintained and executed as
such.”
