tended distrust of Genetal Pierce on th* slavery question, was admirable. We hear that you have been told that this county is claimed for Johnson by 200 majority. Even to this sort of exagger ation decency requires some metes and bounds. I heard no man in Hawkinsville or out of it say that the county could pos sibly be carried for Johnson by more than 50 voters, while very many were confi dent that Pulaski would go for Colquitby 50 or 75 majority. The addresses ot Messrs Chappell and DeGraffenried were powerful efforts, and were in the happiest and best spirits possible. They took high and catholic ground for the entire re-union of the democracy of Georgia. They gave the history of Mr. Jenkin’s agency in dissolving the Union party, and in the happiest manner exposed his in consistency in fawning around Union -democrats for their support. We cannot express our thanks or ap preciation of the handsome style in which these gentlemen are bearing themselyes in the canvass. In conclusion 1 have this to say, and I would say it emphati cally, let yotir county, old Muscogee, do her duty, and this fight is ours. From the Savannah Georgian. Discussion in Murray County between the Gubernatorial Candidates. Spring Place, August 25th. Messrs. Editors Yesterday the citi zens of Murray county were addressed by our candidates for Governor, on the issue now dividing the political parties of Geor gia. It was a beautiful day, and many were present to hear the distinguished speakers. In consequence of the great crowd which had come togetl er from the valleys and mountains of this beauti ful country, the addresses were deliver ed in the Baptist Church, which had been generously tendered for the occasion. The house was densely thronged with the hardy sons of this mountain region, ar.d, to add fresh interest to the scene, their wives and daughters were there, by ‘•-their presence, to restrain the boisterous, And che*r the hearts of the speakers. Never has a day passed offmore pleasant ly, and never was an audience better en tertained. Every thing occurred to give an interest to the occasion; the speakers were two of Georgia’s most talented and worthy sons, of whom she or any land might well be proud; the sky was cloud less, and a cooling breeze, com : ng fresh from the summit of the forest-clad Cohut tah, rendered less oppressive the burning -rays of an August sun. It would be a hopeless task were I to attempt to present anything like a sketch -of the masterly and powerful efforts to which hundreds listened with unfeigned delight, nor shall I attempt it. My pur pose is solely to present to your readers, as faithfully and impartially as I may, the contrasted effects of the speeches— the impression which they made both up on the writer and the audience. Mr. Johnson opened the discussion in a speech of an hour’s length, and was fol lowed by Mr. Jenkins in a speech of one hour and a half, after which Mr. Johnson concluded in a further speech of about twenty minutes. To say that the speak ers sustained their great reputations, as skillful and ready debaters, would be but /aint praise. Proud was every man pre sent, that the political parties of Georgia *had presented for our suffrages two such noble and true hearted Georgians as Mr. .Jenkins ar.d Mr. Johnson. About them, .as men of integrity, of patriotism, and of ualeut, there was but one expression of opinion. Both are patriotic, both men of experience and of practical wisdom, and .both eminently fitted to administer the af fairs of State. Being such, their views on political questions must alcne decide tfhe people in their choice. Now, whatever the audience may have thought of the comparative merits of the speakers, the views of the Democratic candidate, by the most unmistakeable signs, were by far the most popular, and suet the warmest sympathy of the people. We shall draw no invidious distinction be tween the candidates as to their compar ative ability. For we are willing to at tribute the rapturous applause with which Mr. Johnsou was greeted, and the entire absence of applanse which attended the effort of Mr. Jenkins, solely to the fact that the prinbiples, which the former ad vocated, were the principles of the peo ple, dear to their hearts as their very ex istence Jc wonld have done you good, Democrats of Southern Georgia, had you been present, to witness the outbursts of joy with which the hardy mountaineers greeted the standard-bearer of your princi ples. There was not the faintest applause given to Mr. Jenkins, while the Detno .cratic candidate was interrupted, time and again, with the most enthusiastic demon strations of the popular feeling. Indeed, wft were sorry for Mr. Jenkins, that no friend was present to raise, in his behslf, one feeble cheer. Though his effort was ■a masterly one, t he defended himself with the courage and resolution of a lion, yet neither were his principles, nor the company which he keeps, acceptable to the people. lie did all that mortal man ■could do with such a rotten cause to sup port. He had nothing to make a speech upon—nothing to advocate—nothing to ■defend. Gen. Pierce’s appointments and •the Pacifice Ilail-road gave him his whole capital, ‘fie will not descend to the low and dirty tricks of other Whig leaders in -Georgia, who are putting him forward as a stepping stone to their own ambition. Nor will he spring false issues upon the people, for you hear from his lips not a woid about the Union’s being in danger and its needing another saving.—lie leaves all such stuff to Toombs, Stephens •& Cos. Therefore, it was. that never, perhaps, before, has a public speaker ap peared under greater disadvantages.— ‘i herefore it was that his remarks were attended with no applause. And there fore it was that his opponent was inter rupted with plaudit after plaudit. The truth is, Messrs. Editors, the peo ple were completely carried away by the speech of Mr. Johnson. The affair was -ail on one side. Nor are we presenting en overwrought picture. I appeal to any man, wjjo was present, if the truth has not been written. I speak of that which I do know, and testify of that which I have seen I was no little amused by a remark of an. old Whig after the meeting. He thought Johnson had taken great advantage of his opponent, because, said the old man, “Mr. Johnson takes such a hold on a fellow's feelings .” The old man was right. Johnson did take hold of the feelings—or rather the principles which be advocated found a hearty response in the bosoms of these dwellers arhong the moiihl&itls. The fires which he Kindled will burst forth and sweep ovetf these rtlountains and val leys, cleansing, purifying, and burning up the last vestige of Whiggery. And many a Whig here has found, and many a Whi# will find, that the same Demo cratic fire, which the ashes of Whiggery have long smothered, burns within their own hearts, and will soon be fanoed into a red hot glow. Others will catch the flame. Democrats of Southern Georgia, turn your eyes northward, and behold the beacon-fires lighted upon the tops of the mountains! They call upon you to a wake! Awake! Send back from your own camp-fires the signal that all is well, and that no man is asleep at his post. Mur ray county sends you greeting. She promises a larger Democratic majority than she has ever given. All Cherokee Georgia is right. All that you hear about divisions in this part of Georgia is false. There may be differences of opinion in re gard to the most proper candidates to represent the county in the Legislature: there have been differences iu regard to the Congressional nomination. But all this is past;for Dr. Lewis, with true pat riotism, has withdrawn from the contest, and left the field to Tumlin and Chastain. The latter will be elected by a large ma jority. So far as the gubernatorial con test is concerned, all Democrats are uni ted, and have received a large accession to their ranks from the Scott Whigs. Johnson’s election is a fixed fact. Do your duty, is all that Cherokee asks. For she will roll up in October next such increased majorities, as shall proclaim forever the death-knell of Whiggery in Georgia. MURRAY. THE JEFFERSONIAN GRIFFIN. SEPTEMBER 8, 1853 FOR GOVERNOR HERHLV. JOHNSON. FOR CONGRESS DAVID J. BAILEY, Third District. W. B. W. DENT, Fourth District. FOll REPRESENTATIVE, WILLIAM CRITTENDEN. SELLING OUT. We refer our readers to our advertise ment, and particularly request our breth ren of the press to give us a lift in getting off by giving the advertisement a few in sertions’. Alass Meeting at Jonesboro. There will be a mass meeting of the democratic party of the 4th Congression al District, at Jonesboro’, on Thursday the 29th inst. H. V. Johnson, Gov. Cobb, and a number of other distinguished democratic speakers have promised to be present on the occasion, and address the people ou the .political questions of the day. Gen. Ifamilcar Weathercock. “Thy love is lust, thy friendship all a cheat, Thysyiilca hypocrisy , thy words deceii.” Iu conformity with a notice, this strange anomaly exhibited in our city on Satur day last, some of his most wonderful feats at grand and lofty tumbling. We were not one of his auditors, being just after our return from a Northern tour, where we had fully quieted our curiosity as to all the amusing species of the Buffoon.— Wc are informed he sustained some of his most anomalous and mysterious leaps with much skill, some were rather awkwardly executed, and detection simple and ready. He lampooned the Southern Rights party, lie caricatured the Democracy* with great flippancy, reproached the Whig party as obsolete and nugatory, and claimed that the Toombs party, alias the Republican Citi zen organization, concentrated all that was wise, patriotic and virtuous. He wanted no national party, but a sectional party. His leading argument adverse to the Southern Rights party in 1850 was, that it was sectional and not national, in contradiction to the genius of the govern ment. And that upon the late settlement of the Compromise the Southern Democrats re turned to their Northern freesoil allies, and also the Scott Whigs, irrespective of their principles. But the Webster Whigs assumed an independent attitude, isolated from all freesoil taint, and the only tena ble consistent position. Thus, Mr. Toombs assumes to himself the authority to stig matize and debauch both the national or ganizations, that did not fawn and follow in miscreant servility to his dictation, is sued in his placard from Washington City, and organize a sectional party against the government. The last man to council a free and virtuous people. We have sedulously avoided, as our rea ders well know, all allusions to the seeming divisions of the Scott and Webster whigs, as an issue not legitimately within our per view. But as Mr. Toombs has sought to clas sify the Southern Democratic party and the Scott Whigs with Northern freesoil com binations, we arc disposed to hurl the slan der back upon its mischievous author. We are not the champion of Scott Whigs, but their declaration of principles gives a flat disclaimer to that allegation. So far as the Democratic party stands impeached, it rises higher in our estimation as it in curs the calumny of this distinguished dema gogue. And since every slave and South ern State has mounted full-breasted her time-honored and imperishable platform, it is of itself an eloquent and magnificent colossus of its wisdom and patriotism. And there is but little fiction in the as severation, that this tortuous gasconade, and retailer of Billingsgate, would this day have been in supple fellowship with the na tional democracy, but for the repeated re buffs of those who would not confide in the purity and stability of his professions. So far as his allusions to our editorial in ur last issue, we had no other expec tation, than be would bolster up his sins by bandying epithets with our absence. — Tina is a prbniiriCnt faculty of the gentle man, and he exhibits much adroitness in the use df it. The truth of the accusation is far more palpable and obvious from the labor and zeal ho devoted to his excul pation. “The flesh Will quiver where the pincers tear, The blood will follow where the knife is driven.” Whatever discrepancy may exist between the means pandered to by Win. J. Brown of Indiana, to secure the speakership, and the Hon. Robert Toombs to furl himself into the Senatorial robes, is certainly a a mooted question; and will remain a sealed book. To make even a tolerable record, the end must consecrate the means. His erratic flight athwart the political horizon, has placed him in offensive antag onism with every national patriot and statesman since his career in politics. In conflict with Jackson and Polk, who gave direction and government to the American people in the age in which they lived. In conflict with Mr. Clay for the Presidency; and as soon as the popular will had elevated Gen. Taylor to the national helm, he rai sed the arm of rebellion against him. lie uext took up arms against Mr. Fillmore, and crippled him. He then made a clamor ous vindictive onslaught upon Gen. Scott, and is now enlisted in a reckless, infamous war against Gen. Pierce. The spasmodic ravings of this political Proteus, has no terrors to any party; he is impotent and fatuitous. He has ceased to harm his en emies in his stereotyped harangues, and will soon cease to comfort his friends. The truth is, he is becoming too commonplace for a reliable advocate of any cause. And no majority party would act discretely to accept of him as a gratuity. His mission ary exploits over the country do uot agi tate our nerves, or jeopardise our success. It is due himself that he should speak of , ten, that the people may be apprised of his true position. Gen. Ilamilcar Toombs vs tlie Foreigners. No sect or class of people, however mer itorious, seems to escape the ruthless ma lignity of this factious demogogue. He is now wielding his anathemas against the President because of his genuine catholic feeling exhibited to those foreigners who reside among us, and have given their a bility and loyalty to the democratic insti tutions of this country, nc has no sym pathy for the oppressed, the friendless and homeless. Because Mr. Pierce assigned Mr. Belmont as Charge to the Nether lands, he has been denounced as favoring the pretensions of German foreigners in opposition to our native born citizens. It is true he is a native of Germany, and from a long diplomatic course, has ren dered most efficient service to this govern ment, which lias increased his claims upon executive favor, and that very deservedly. The gentleman has omitted to inform his fellow-citizens, that other governments ap point foreign American citizens as their Consuls and Charges. At this very mo ment the Austrian government has ap pointed native born American citizens as her Consuls to this government, to-wit: J. W. Langdon, at Boston, Morris Wain, at Philadelphia, and Andrew Low, at Sa vannah. I Snrely no adopted citizen of Georgia, whether from choice or necessity, would abandon an administration whose acts and sympathies were dirccied and controlled by a national generous spirit. And we say to our foreign brethren, stand by iuO constitution and our common couutry, and stand by its and your friends. No spirit of native Americanism will ever dif fuse its destructive doctrines into our pure democratic government while Frank Pierce sets supreme at her helm. The Mouth in one Column. Those who are prepared to stand in solit column with every Southern State, can now be designated, by whichever banner he may choose to array himself under, in the present indicative gubernatorial con test. By the recent demonstrations of Tennessee and Kentucky, every slave State in this Union forms one brilliant, harmo nious constellation in the national admin istration, and that proud banner is given to the winds by its gallant champion Her schel Y. Johnson, Those who are prepared to arrest the judgment of the United South, who are prepared to concentrate and co-operate with discordant and hostile factions, and rise in rebellion to our magnificent nation al chieftain, can buckle on the armor of Charles J. Jenkins, and enlist under the hybrid colors of Vermont and Massachu setts. My fellow-freemen, under which standard will yon rally? Have you no veneration for the solemn and united acclaim of your Southern brethren? Y\ ill you emulate the belligerent and deserted provinces of Mexico, by exalting your chief magistrate one day and hurl him intoexpatriatiou the next? If you wish to subvert an a Irqinis tration radiated by the most auspicious! omens, and crush the cherished hopes of millions of freemen, install in power its most persecuting and ruthless enemy Chas. J. Jenkins. If you wish tq perpetuate the heritage of your revolutionary fathers—if you wish to raise an enduriug colossus to your government and domestic institutions, to cultivate and cement the moral, physi cal and intellectual advancement of the age, this day pronounce for your friend and President: “llnawed by power and unappalled by f. a.” I The Prospects Ahead. We stated in our last, that as the dust and smoke of the political contest clear ed away* we should the more readily be able to mark the coming result. The prospect is glorious. Every day shines brighter and brighter. The election of Johnson, by several thousand majority, is now consideied fixed beyond a perad venture. There is only danger from one cause: that his friends may conceive his election so certain, as to forego their watchfulness ,and vigilance, and suffer him to be heat by default. We trust thosa who have begun the go >J work so well, will’ hold out to the end, and not be weary in well doing. Bring your friends up lo the polls—let no laggard remain be hind because there are enough without him. We not only waul the victory, but we want it by thousands. The issue is not more between Jenkins and Johnson, than between the State of Georgia and President Pierce. Will the people of Georgia support Mr. Pierce’s adminis tration? If yea, then vole for Judge Johnson. If they reject him, then vote for Jenkins. This is the true issue.— The whigs may twist and distort mat- ters as they please, but to this complex ion they must come at last. Then let us proclaim toour'sister States of the Union, that Georgia is in sympathy and commu nication with them—and not barely so, but by thousands and tens of thonsands. Let the rally for Pierce and Johnson re sound from the seaboard to the moun tains, and reverberate from the moun tains to the vallies and plains below,'— Tell by your votes, fellow citizens, that you stand fixed and settled on the’ Balti more democratic Platform—that you in tend to act in good faith towards your fellow citizens at the North—that you have accepted the compromise measures as a finality, and so long as they are ad hered to by your Northern brethern,all the efforts of Toombs, Stephens, and their co-adjutors shall not disturb them in Georgia. Vote for the democratic candidates, fellow citizens, and you en doise the finality of the slavery agitation and Mr. Pierce’s administration. Vote for Jenkins and you reject them. ’lbis is the true issue before the people of Georgia. Vigilance-vigilance-vigilance; action—action—action; let these be the watchwords of democrats until after the election. Our Friends. If the democracy of Georgia has friends who are prepared to consecrate their time and abilities, the crisis makes to them a most eloquent, hopeful Jappcal. It is a cause in which we all have a mutual and common stake, and we should individually, however feeble* wc may suppose our efforts, contribute our mito to the consummation of so patriotic au enterprise. Those who have been the favored recip ients of our labors and success, and there arc many of them, should gird ou their sword and helmet and enter the campaign, tolls viribus; and wc cannot admire the magnanimity and grace of any man, whose aspirations have been cherished, yes, who has been both honored and rewarded, who feels no sympathy for those gallant and brave spirits now fighting for the sceptre of their principles. If you have no eye radiant with the future, may reminiscences of hopes and joys inspire the quiet and po tent arm. “Ingratitude is treason so mankind.” Sandy gives us a considerable list of freesoil appointments by President Pierce, who were perhaps so in 1850, but he does not give us the slightest evidence that they are i>P now. We told the young gentleman in our last, that in our belief, the American Union was a far more dan gerous implcmeit v io dur domestic repose and quietude than Win. J. Brown, and we might have added, “most of the late freesoilers.” While these inen have come forward and frankly discarded their free soil predilectious upon the altar of their country for the peace and harmony of the Uuion, and Mr. Pierce is receiving the recantation of their heresies in °-ood faith Sandy is insisting that the strife shall be kept up, an! the North shall still be arrayed again t the South and the Sooth against the North. And upon this dis union of his own m iking, he and his po litical friends, with Air. Jenkins at their head, inform you that the Union is again in danger, and the Union parly must still be kept up; while his other whig friends, Chang and Eng, are diligently seeking to establish a Southern sectional party, under the name of Republican Citizens, to keep alive and foment the strife. These movements show how far, and to what end, the whigs allied themselves with the Union party three years ago—.not for the sake of peace, but to keep up strife and profit by the turmoil. If you want to put an end to lUeir dangerous designs de feat their leader, Jenkins, for Governor, aud elect Johnson. The Pussovci*. We hope oui approximation by steam to this great festival at Kingston will enable a mighty outpouring of the people upon the road line. Eet all uniform that can. There will be the veteran warrior the youthful soldjer, the.smile* of beauty and costly viands, to greet and make- us happy. We want to &bold the towns and the highways, the vailies and the wild forest hills, vocal with the shouts and authems of the democracy, and the heavens echo in the thunders of her ma jesty. Go on?! go all! “merrily along!” Mr. Jenkins and tle Foreigners The proscriptive policy of native Amer icanism, which has recently been dividing public sentiment in the State of New York, is about to be transferred South, with its poisonous and anti-republican tendencies; A party is now at the North denouncing Gian. Pierce, because he gives all the citizens of the United Stales an equal claim to the protection and benefits of the government. Whenever a party is successfully organized in this Union, by which its republican spirit is stifled,’ and that constitutional prolection which i it casts as a shield over every’ man, so J soon as he places his foot upon American ! soil, is denied, then you may look to see j the refuge of the oppressed, the only liv-j ing memorial of a free government, tumb-, ling in the wrkeof old exclusive .despot- • ism. j Toombs has labored to arouse the in- j diguation of the people, in opposition to j Gen. Pierce, because of his just and libe- j ral bearings to the true and adopted j friends of this government. Mr. Jenkins, in his speech at Atlanta, announced as one of his reasons for attaching a proper ty qualification to every voter under the Algerine act, was to resist the influx of foreign importation. Such a demonstra tion as this, in defiance to the well recog nized policy of our institutions, should he met at its threshold and crushed in its germ. And to this end, we invoke tb r united effort of every foreign and ne'.ve citizen, to come to the rescue of t\e ad ministration, and alone give their votes to the advocates and exponents of free suffrage. CHAS. J. JENKINS vs. GEN. NELSON’S BRIGADE. T his unnatural and obnoxious vote gi ven by Mr. Jenkins in refusal of forage and provisions for the troops then encamp ed atound the capitol, like all other of Mr. Jenkins’ sins, is attempted to be i excused, because other distinguished members of the legislature did the same thing. This only aggravates the matter, and if it cannot bejuslified upon its merit, then Mr. Jenkins, as well as the others, must bear the odium. To make provisions for the troops, Gov. McDonald introduced a bill in the Senate, and Col. Crane of Lumpkin, and Col. John B. Lamar of Bibb, all good and true democrats^,came to the relief of our suffering soldiers; while Charles J. Jenkins and the entire whig party, turned their backs upon their appeals of justice, and drove them from their encampments, like serfs and robbers from the protection of that State for which they were then bearing arms. All this is in keeping with the high stilted Algerine proscription which have marked that gentleman, and for which a liberal and generous people will enter a judgment of eternal condemnation. Sandy and Judge Johnson. Sandy Says, —“lt is known through all this section of country, that Judue Johnson is supported for Governor be cause he is a Southern Rights man.’’ Who knows all that Sandy/ Judge Johnson is supported becauso he is a democrat, holding to the principles of that party, prescribed and laid down in the Baltimore platform. As far as that platform involves State Rights prin ciples he is a State Rights man, and so supported. So of Mr. J rNkins, lie is running and supported as a whig. As far as the platform of tire whig party embraces unconditional submission to the General Government, advocacy of a tariff, bank, &c. Mr. Jenkins is guil ty of the “soft impeach neat,” let his friends attempt to excuse him as they may. Mr. Jenkins in Marietta. Mn. Jenkins, in his speech at Marict” ta, with a most bitter sueer exclaimed, “God forbiJ thu I should ever go to the Democratic party.” His had taste in calling on the name of Deity to wit ness it, shows th** solemnity of his vow. He never spoke with more sincerity in his life. And will Democrats go to him after such an ejaculation? Will they go to him, an 1 for him, anJ vote for him? But it may be said he is a Union man— If he ever was, farther than ha expected to make capital out of it, which is ex remely doubtful, his Alexmdar letter tells y£>u he is not one now, and tells you further to go and rejoin your old party the democrats, as he intends to join his the whig*. Will Union democrats hang on to Jenkins after he has dismissed them? Will they be mean spirited enough to stay until he kicks them away? Wo cannot) we will not believe it until we see it; and shall not then believe them an}’ longer democrats, but turned whigs and gone over to the enemy, FOUR NAGS Entered upon the Spalding course for the Senatorial prize! Riders up! Spur on heel and whip in hand. To aman up a ttee, the old ploughman holds the inside track, and bounds like a nimble stag a long the course. Clear the way!

COBB Will be at the mass meeting in Kingston, on Friday the 9th inst,, and will address the assembly. We regret that the indis position of his family made his absence from the State indispensible, as his coun cils and services were both desirable.— He is now fresh from tho headquarters of the Grand SachfM . Let the people hear. THE ALGERINE ACT. I here is hut one principle upon which the Algerino law can ho maintained, and 1 hat is: if Mr. Jenkins and his friends can satisfy itie public mind, that aR the pro perty holders are honest and capable, and that those less fortunate, are dishonest and incapable, then he has a principle to act upon—and he and its friends must have entertained a similar opinion, or they could not have urged its pussage and re sisted its repeal. Big fish will eat up the little ones. Ills excellency Gov. Colib. ‘ We are happy to state, that Gov. Cobb has returned to Georgia, after a short trip W tile North, where he had gone to Wait upon his invalid lady. Mrs. C. we understand, lias measurably recovered from lief indisposition, and the Governor is now roady to take the democratic stand, as far as his official duties will permit, and deliver a few of his hot shot to the enemy. We have no doubt his stalwart political arm will do yeoman’s service in the cause, before the close of the campaign. Gov. Cobb has appointed lion. W. W. lloi.t, Judge of the Superior Court of the Middle Circuit, in place of lion A. J. Mil ler, resigned. And Hon. F. 11. Cone, Judge of the Ocmulgec Circuit, in place of Hon. 11. Y. Johnson, resigned. j Tlie Recorder's Theological Moor buck, i Says that Col. Trippc’s prospects are en ! couraging, and that lie met bis opponent. ! at Griffin and came out ot the conflict tri- I umphantly. If that was a victory, he | should henceforth ‘pray to be delivered I from a defeat, for there would not be a grea j sy spot left of’.dm.

The hand writing ; is ou the wall, hard grinning, low equat | thg, big sweating and no elect will be the epitaph of the mongrel disciple of the ! ghost of Marshfield. The Recorder’s Theological Roor- > back, Says Judge Johnson was at tire mass meeting in Macon, in 1850, and sustained Mr Rhett. Mark this wanton venal cal umny. Judge Johnson was not at the mass meeting. Judge Johnson was not in Macon. Judge Johnson was at his res idence in Milledgeville. And there can be no expiation for so heinous an accusation, because the truth was as easily accessible. We hope this follower of the Apostles John and Peter, will learn the truthfulness of the’r teachings, by experience, if not otherwise, that “a hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbor, but through knowledge shall the just be delivered.” The Recorder's Tneolosical Roorback, Says that Judge Johnson was appointed United States Senator because of his dis union services. What a whapper! Gulivcr is nowhere! Pandemoneum disgorg’d of its bo wels docs not contain a blacker, baseless ac cusation. The veriest sophomore in politics, gumbofools could not be ignorant of the fact that Towns appointed Judge Johnson at the session of the legislature of 1847, and the compromise measures were not passed until the Congress of 1850, and the legis lature of 1849 took action with reference to them in advance. Head, Air. Parson, the professed man of thy council, and learn, ’that the lip of truth shall be established forever, but a lying tongue is but for a moment.” The Recorder’s Theological Roorback, Says that Judge Johnson was opposed to our system of internal improvement by the State. Is your ignorance and your malignity inexhaustible? Are you de termined without regard to truth or de cency, to persist in the manufactory of your assaults upon the character of a man that never injured you nor the public in terests of the country? Can you obtain your consent, deliberately, to tarnish and impugn the character and fame of a man with whom you profess to bend around the same altar, and tho same sacramental cov enant? If this be Christian fellowship, give us an inkling of the fellowship of de vils. The charge is false, and there is none so blind as those that will not see. Col. Chastain anti Col. finder wood. We regret to hear of the indisposition of Col. Chastain, but hope it is only tem porary. Col. Underwood has agreed to supply his appointments, in the event ho is precluded from being present. This is exceeding clever in Col. Underwood, as we understand he is a most capital stump speaker, surd probably an over match for any of his opponents. Wc hope lie mav not only win golden opinions for himself, but great numbers may flock to our stan dard under his eloquent teachings. Col. Chappell and Col. DcGraffcn reid. Addressed their fellow-citizens in Pulaski county last week. Mr. Chappell made a most, impressive and thri'ling appeal to his Union friends not to abandon the adminis tration and its friends. Col. DeGraffenricd followed him in a most effective and conclusive exposition of the two pasties, and exhibited to his U nion friends the intrigue and subtlety with which the Toombs and Jenkins organiza tion proposed to decoy them in tho meshes of Whiggery. They passed this place a few days past. They will address the citi zens of Atlanta and McDonough in Hen ry county. May a rich harve>t attend their labors. lioll ou the Ball. Mr. Jenkins ami Massachusetts. Mr. Jenkins and Federal Frcesoil Mass achusetts, par nobilefrat rum, are marching hand in glove in memory of their departed leader and prototype. What a significant sublime spectacle, Charles J.

Unable to enlist a sin-1 gle Southern State, in the infamous and inexorable crusade against Gen. Pierce.— Will democrats, men who stood by Jack son and Polk, in storm and sunshine, rally to this sable banner, which has been trod den in the dust by every sovereign State South of Mason & Dixon’s line. Rather than tarnish you fair escutcheon, let your motto be bcl/um internecinum. j The American Union. Sandy in his last, speaks of a “contro versy between us and the Jeffersonian — Ask pardon, Sandy—excuse us—but wo really did not know there was such a thing going on. What is it about? We now and then, for our amusement, take up our pen, and hit Sandy a “lick,” but we trust he docs not consider our sports any demon stration towards a controversy with h : m. Not at all—all in fiju Sandy. Would’nt hurt you for any thing. CALHOUN AND DENT. Sandy says Calhoun will “push his op ponent hard.” Not a doubt of it, Sandy. He will help Dent considerably with every speech he makes. But what is the use of it? Dent is getting on swimmingly with- j out him. “ ( THE REPUBLICAN - Says “that the friends of Gen. Pierce are abandoning him,” and that “he may now be said to be a President without a party.” What a sage disclosure! Is this knave or fool? Four States only voted against Gen. Pierce at his election; and since that time Tennessee has fallen into line, and Kentucky divided her delegation, leaving Vermont and Massachusetts in cordial embrace with the Republican and his co horts. Twenty-nine sovereign flags now wave in gorgeou? communion over the national bead of onr Democratic Chief.’ The secret of all this dissimulation lies in the truthful adage, that “tho dog growls because his own head is sore.” Mo NS A. 11.
