fi3T~ Several of our Southcsn Rights po-
temporaries notice the mistake that occur
red in the Union electoral ticket at our mast
head, by which Col. Holsoy's name was omit
ted. Wo eap say to these men, that we re
gard Col. Ilolsey as tne of the strongest men
on our ticket, and that his name would be
one of the last intentionally left out in our
columns.
Dob. A. J. Miller’s Letter.
In another column will be found the able
letter of this distinguished gentleman to
Col. Thomas of Elbert, upon the Presiden
tial question. We refer our readers with
pleasure to this letter, as coataining truth -
All aad sound arguments. The writer ia
known aeons of the soundest and most clear
headed men in Georgia, and his opinions and
views will have great weight in the present
election. Mr. Miller has more moral cour
age than any man we know ia Georgia.
CoL Thomas ia Dftiton.
It will bo seen by referring to a commu
nication in another column, that the above
named gentleman was in Dalton on the 38th,
where he delivered an able and eloquent
speech in behalf of the Union ticket. Judge
Wright attempted a reply, but made a sig
nal failure. The Judge is -undoubtedly a
man of considerable talent, but he certainly
has less firmness and less consistency as a
politician than any public man in Georgia.
Truly is it remarked in the communication
of C. B., that he is .• all things by turn,
and nothing long. ’
is for the sake of power and position—not
pr neiple, that they now profess to- favor
the election of Gen. Pierce.
You shoyld not vote.it, because the lead
ers of their pprty have not only exposed the
Union and the compromise, but have repeat
edly, whilst proclaiming th.eir treasonable
doctrines, denounced those who opposed them,
in most violent terms, calling .the members
of the Union.party traitors, cowards—sub-
missionists.
You should wot vote it, because if Gen>l
Pierce were to die between the election and
the time for the meeting of the electoral col
lege, these men, in such au event, having
full discretionary power—who can doubt,
that they would, if elected, cost their vote
for Rhett, Quitman, or some other rabid
disunionist ?
You should not vote it, because iu its se
lection you had no voice, and cannot, there
fore, with honor and with proper self-re
spect, be required to support it.
Fow should not vote it, because their
.party were lately invited as Democrats, to
a compromise of the ticket, an.d a meeting
was appointed tor that .purpose—blut they
refused to meet and treated the.propositioa
with insult and scorn—thereby giving in-
contestible evidence of their hatred to Union
principles and Union men, and establish
ing the truth and justness of the suspicion
that the ring-leaders of the party are still,
as they hare ever been—disunionists and
unrelenting snemies to the Government.
You should not vote it, because you have
a union ticket composed entirely of
sound and true men,which,as friends of a
constitutional Union, you are called upon by
the strongest considerations of propriety and
principle, to support fay your influence and
suffrages. It is due to the superior intelli
gence and patriotiani- ( of -the men who com
pose this ticket. It is due to the party and
principles which they represent, and to the
great interests of the country that you rally
as one man to its sqpport, and that no effort
be spared -calculated to .promote its trium
phant success.

for a copy of this interesting work, and com-
JiH-ad it- as eminently worthy of support, by

The false views propagated in •< Uncle

by works of equally popular style. Fiction
must be undermined by fiction. Thousands
will peruse and interesting story, and thus
gradually imbibe the author's mews, who
would wot read ten lines of a mere argumen
tative volume on the same theme. The ene

therufore, to monopolise so potent a weapon.
Mr. Thornton, the author, has produced a
thrilling story, and his opinions on slavery
are correct.

Down with the Disimionists^
The intellsgonce from various sections of
the State relative to the .prospects of the
Union ticket is most cheering. The friends
of the Union are beginning to nwuke -from
their iethargy. We rejoice to see it, and
earnestly urge upon every good Union man
to fall into ranks, and once again beat back
the Disunionists. There is no doubt that
the prominent members and leaders of the
Southern Rights party are hourly every me
secessionists and enemies to the Government.
Will Union men suffer these disunionists to
get into power in Georgia? Surely not.
We have twice beaten them back, and yet
with a tenacity of. life unprecedented, and
with the most dogged determination, they
again rush to the onset. Shall wo suffer
them, as they are attempting to do, to Tun
us off our own platform, and trample us un
der foot’ No sirs—never! They pretend to
be in favor of Pierce—they call themselves
democrats, but let not Union men be deceiv
ed by these professions. Thy made the
-same professions lsst fall, and yet they rnn
the President of two 'disunion conventions
for Governor. Despair and revenge have
driven these men mad. They are willing to
say and de anything te get into power, and
to revenge themselves -upon the Union De
mocracy. This retaliating spirit it with
them paramount to principle, and this is but
too evident notwithstanding their lute pro
fesmons, end their pretended acquiescesoe
with the doctrines of the national democra
cy. It is risible in their actions which
•peak fonder than words. It was especially
risible in their late oondnet at the meeting
in Atlanta, where the dim spirit of hatred
to tiie Union parly prevented them from
forming a ticket with Union men upon it—
rather than do which they were willing to
hazard the loss to Pierce and King of the
entire Union veto «f Georgia; for bad not
the independent Union ticket bean put up,

Is Ken. Srott Reliable!
- We think not—at least ibr Southern men.
Hear what one of his friends says of him,
and also mark what is said of Frank Pierce:
u On the 20th of July, 1852, the Hon.
Lewis B. Campbell addressed, from Wash
ington city, a circular to h:s constituents,
Who do they Prefer ?
The Columbus Times says that if there
was any, even the remotest chance of elect
ing Troup and Qyitmau, there might’ be pol
icy in running them. Is this the opinion of
the fire-eaters generally ? -The only reason
that they don't support Troup is, that there
is no chance to elect him. They say they
are not Treto men, but tire opposed to him !
They are like a geutieman of our acquain
tance who Says he is not a disunionist, but
that he thinks if the people would agree, to
dies live the Union, it.would be better for the
South. These Southern Rights men are not
for Troup, yet if the people were for him,,
they would think it best to elect him. Such
being tire sentiments of the Southern Rights
organization, no Union man can, consistent
ly, elevate them to ipower. They believe
their principles «To'right, but as the people
are against them it is policy to drop them
for the time being. But put them iuto ; pow-
er, and they will again avow their princi
ples and try to carry them but.
Therefore Resolved, That though wn

lar we take an extract which We submit-to | an *° ' lct0I -J *
the country without comment:
1 The-editor of *the Herald, published ift
i Wliv woolti a Lilian Democrat's name on
-a. party that now have the unblushing! m-
pudence to ask Union men to vote their elec
toral ticket, and thus: placet hem in power
in Georgia. I wish I had time to give you
the substance of Col. Thomas’ speech. -The
best evidence of its ability,' power and Effect,
is to be found in the uneasiness and anxiety
of the disunionists, and the fact that their
best speaker present did not attempt to an
swer it, -Except m one .particular. When
Col. Thomas concluded, ike diSuniobists Call
ed their new convert,. Judge Wright. He
commeooed*his speech by endeavoring to
show that the secessionists (he among them
of course) were the only true democrats,
and that Col Thomas and those acting with
him were not democrats. It was really
amusing ?o see this unfiedgfed, nullifying,
bank, tariff, union, secession whig—««fill
things by turn, qn 1 nothing long, ’, laboring
to convince the people .that such men as
Tuinlfci, Wofford, Ilolsey, Chisolm, Chastain
and others were not democrats, and that he,
and such as he, constituted the only simon-
pure democracy!!! If he be a true demo
crat, save the’ ciufctry from democracy! I
have heardJudge Wright make many speech
es, but this one was certainly the most com
plete failure I ever listened to. He is, how
ever, a little excusable. He was but the
other day—while denouncing the disunion-
ists—declaring that he <« would see his right
arm fall from its socket before he would
vote to carry slavery into-a territory now
free.’’ His present allies then called him
an abolitionist, and threatened him with a
limb and a rope. It is but natural, there
fore, that he should find it a difficult task
in bestowing his praises on them in the first
effort. Tifyit again, Judge, and if yon do
not succeed better next time, quit them, you
have some capacity for than.

■Mr. Editor.-—1 observe in the last Rome
SouthemA' an advertisement of a <. Mass
meeting and free barbedue ’ to be held at
Rome, and the committee, from reasons best
known to themselves, have intimated that
Gov. Cobb, among others, will be present on
that, august occasior. Now, I have very
good reason to believe that Gov. Cobb has
given no authority for this use of his name.
•Yea, more, I have good reason to know that
he will take no post in the present canvass,
and cast-no vote in opposition to his already
delivered determination. What Judge Jack-
son may do w another matter. He-seems to
have suddenly inhaled a large share of love
for the -fite-eaters, and to have assumed the
guardianship of fho Cherokee beys. Col.

our old party issues for the time—and man
ifest our proper and just appreciation of
New Hampshire patriot, -whelms the 'same
love and the same desire that actuates us ?
-I certainly will for otae.
By What'instrumentaliiiysliaH I do this,
is the question; and upoi' it is engrafted ah-
other—why should not all the friends of
Franklin Pierce unite in the siipport of the
« regularly -nominated Democratic ticket”
of Electors ? It is said you arc not voting
for the men composing it, but s'.mply ap
pointing them by yonr votes to ‘bote for
Pierce and King. With me there is always
to be desired, a fitness in things ,- Xn agent
appreciating and sympathizing with the
vjewfe of his constituent. Then, how can I,
a Union man, (desiring to vote for Mr.
Pierce, only on the principles of the Union
party) constitute Southern Rights men (with
one exception) now calling themselves Dem-
oorats. niy agents to give jny vote ? They
don’t believe as I do, upon the questions
which eoetrol my vote; the very Convention
that nominated them, dodged'the Compro
mise, and they themselves have not so for ns
I am iifibnned, since their nomination, sig
nified publicly their determination to abidj
by and insist upon the adjustment made by
Congress.
Again, who is made- prominent and pow
erful by the election’of the •« regular” tick
et ? Tho Southern Rights men and their
adherents; and this, too, without any dis
claimer of the opinions they have held and
endeavored to carry out daring the last two
years. -Can I do this ? Is there any fitness
in it ? Can I aid in the promotion of a. man
who desires (its one of that ticket is reported
to desire,) “ when his spirit is wafted to
Heaven on angel's wings,' to-look back on
the broken fragments of- the American Un
ion I will not. If a Ticket^ had been
made at Atlanta, composed of Union aqd
Southern Rights Democrats, .1 would have
voted for it, regarding such arrangement as
evidence'Of the willingness at the Southern
Rights men to acquiesco in the Compromise
measures. It was not done, and the Union
Democrats ate -required to submit to and
support, men to whom, with owe exception',
they have been' opposed upon a vital ques-
tion, far above all former party tests, to
surrender themselves as prisoners, and fol
low in tiie procession that will grace the
triumph of those whom they have heretofore
beaten. Will you do it, old Democrat as
yon are ? Never, never. Aad there are
thousands of your old Democratic friends
that will not.. Yon will vote, as I and other
Whigs will, for what some in derision call
the >. Tughlo Ticket.” Take the name and
keep it; bear it forward, as I know you
will, with honor. It may jet east die vote
of the State, and tints (like onr own <• Yan
kee Doodle,” in Revolutionary and National
historyj a name may come to you from yonr
enemies which, in after 'years, will be mag
nified and honored, because of the energy,
spirit und success of those who received it.
This ticket may; und I hope will be, an event
in the history of Georgia Be not deterred
by the idea of the expense occasioned by the
Convention of the Legislature. That is
small in comparison with the good that in.
my view wiU come. And moreover it will
be thuianlt of the Southern Rigktf JtaMt-i
ctats if that expense should ooeur. Why
did they- not make a ticket at Atlanta, and
thus prevent sueh a result ?

and if they think differently -from me, the

on the footing that the acceptance woahLful*
