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 adjourned sine die. JOHN W. CLEAVELAND, ChV Wm.

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 ine friend of the Union whilst in the very effort there is viable an abborenoe of the doctrines to the promulgation and main* tamanoe of which by the Union party we are indebted for the eaeape from tbe storm which these newly converted Un- ionists had set on foot. 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?
