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.

Is it not shameful ' Is it not dis graceful ? Is it hot insulting ? Freeman of Georgia! friends of the Union! go to the polls oh Teesday-Vveak, the 2d of'November, asd rebuke these disunionists through the bailot box ! 4^ The Cabin and Parlor. Wo are indebted to the enterprising pub lishcr, Mr. f. B. Peterson, of Philadelphia, for a copy of this interesting work, and com- JiH-ad it- as eminently worthy of support, by r..: who value the Constitution, or loYe •. truth for truth'S'sake.” The false views propagated in •< Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” can only be counteracted 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 mies of tho Constitution must not be left, therufore, to monopolise so potent a weapon. Mr. Thornton, the author, has produced a thrilling story, and his opinions on slavery are correct. Tkftm ftna tibier ud the npper Corn- tin. We are informed by a friend just from Gilnwr, that the Union electoral ticket is ■weeping everything before it in all that section of country. The friends of the Un ion indignant at the base conduct of the Southern Rights party «t the late meeting in Atlanta; are up in their fury,and are de termined to chow the disunionists that thy are not slaves to he whipped into the sup port of the fire-eating. electors. Many of them are outraged that the proposition to compromise with the disanioniats should have ever been entertained. In Cherokee eounty the Untan man are elm aroused, and it ii 1 Hi mid with confidence that the Union tick at will be elected there by a-largely increas ed majority. Gen.

CoL Mm- ■Mg todf amJ 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, the gemt body of the Uaka party would have rrfimed to vote, rather than support ticket iu tka shearing af whioh they had no P**3T»- even evidence of unsound-, ness. enhibttaA in- this angle act a spirit of reveng* »*d selfishness that extinguished the lust spark of ooafidaose in 'their profos- and stomped them indsllibly with the marks of infamy.

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.

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. Dalton, Oct. 13th, 1852. C.

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.
