Mk. Editor:
I ask the privilege of using your columns
to defend the late Democratic Convention
against the misrepresentations of the go
vernment organ at Washington. Having
been honored by that body with the post of
chairman of the committee which reported
the third resolution, 1 think it proper to do
so over my own name. Whether the false
hoods of the Chian newspaper are the re
sults of its indifference to truth or its stupidi
ty, is hard to determine. In either event the
Georgia Democracy onght not to stand in
the false position tin editor of that paper has
sought to place them in, and the truth shall
be told, though the result be to show the
people that Mr. Buchanan’s Governor of
Kansas, and his organ editor, are worthy of
each other.
The wrongs complained ol oy the Geor
gia Democratic f’otivttltioii is. that the’ in
augural address of Gov. Walker violates the
Kansas act. That portion which it violates
is in these words : “ /.* icing the true in-
'ent and meaning uf thi* net not to legislate
slavery into said Territory, nor to t rriutl- it
therefrom, but to leave the people thereof per
fectly free to farm and regulate their domestic
institutions in their olrn way, subject only to
the CoSletetutosft ‘j thr t-nried Statef eto
not quote with the act before me, hut I think
you w ill, by reference to the law. find I have
stated it exactly as it is written. The Con
vention stated, also, precisely wherein this 1
inaugural was a violation of the Kansas act,
to wit: •• in prescribing the terms on which
Congress should admit Kansas into the
Union, ami in attempting to dictate the sub
mission of their Constitution for ratification,
and to what class of persons;” ami further,
in expressing his official opinion that Kan
sas would become a free State, and in pre
senting arguments to support that • side of
the question.” That was the charge a ad
these the specifications. Their truth, no
man in the Convention denied. The very
small Opposition that existed in the Conven
tion, to the report of the committee of twenty-
four, arose entirely out of the Iasi clause of the
third resolution, demanding lire recall of
Gov. Walker. Mr. Fielder, of Folk, and
Judge Wright, of Floyd, introduced substi
tutes. The first declared the inaugural was
“regarded as infringing on the doctrine
non-intervention,” the las! declared it was
a direct and palpable violation of the
nant of the Kansas and Nebraska act and
of the Cincinnati platform,” and further, if
il did not “ involve his (Walker’s) removal,
calls for the unqualified disapprobation of
the President.” Both of these substitutes
were silent on the point of demanding hie
recall, though Judge Wright’s came as near
to it as I have shown. On Judge Wright’s
substitute the test vote was had, and that
test was whether the Convention would con
tent itself with an emphatic condemnation
of the inaugural, or make an issue with Mr.
Buchanan on the point of Gov Walker’s
removal. This construction w as given to
the third resolution by its opponents, to
wit: that if Mr. Buchanan refused to re
move Walker, we would he placed in antago
nism to him, and it was accepted by its Iriends
as leading inevitably to that state of things.
With this construction charged and admitted

In noticing the beautiful fruit received by
Messrs. Swan A Co., a few days since, we
stated they were from the orchard of Dr.
Baldwin, of Montgomery.
We are informed that the Doctor tus a
large orchard of very supeiinr fruit, but those
in question came from the orchard of Mrs.
Mason Harwell, of Montgomery, whose
Peaches this year are incomparably liner
than any that are in the market.
Mr. J. W. Wilson, also of Montgomery,
iias forwarded Messrs. Swan A. Co., same
very superior fruit, and is prepared to fill
any orders for the same, carefully packed,
and delivered at the Express office. Mont
gomery is certainly the peach market this
year, and persons in want of extra fine fruit,
shoald not delay sending their orders.

We seldom hear thisquery now. Indeed,
we ran hardly find it in any of the opposi
tion papers. All appear to be satisfied that
there is such a man, and that he is well
known in a region of the State that will give
him ten thousand majority over * Our fen.’
We are sorry that the opposition has thought
proper to declino interrogating us longer, as
to ‘ who is Joe Brown V It gave us pleasure
to answer them. We had fortunately form
ed the acquaintance of that gentleman years
ago, and we felt it incumbent upon us to in
troduce him to our readers and the * Ameri
can ’ party, whenever there was a chance to
do so. Now, ‘our occupation’s gone!’—
There is no more asking ■ who’is Joe Brown F
It’s given up that he is somebody. It is
known that in the most populous region
oi Georgia he is a great popular favorite—
that he has served the people of his section
id the legislature, and upon the bench ; that
he possesses one of the first legal minds in
the Sttfie; that be is a good citizen, a kind
neighbor, an honest man; and that he is,
and ever was, a democrat This now is all
well known; hut tire people of Georgia wilt
They will know him as having ‘double dis

“ Some canning head at work m devi
■ing it* phraseology.'
Die Savannah Republican in commenting
upon Judge Brown’s letter of acceptance,
says * there was evidently some cunning
head at work in devising its phraseology.’’
If by “ running" the “ R-publican " means
* knowing, skillful, experienced, well-in
structed,” wn agree with it, that some “ cun
ning head” was at work when the letter
was written; but if by “ canning," it means
«* artful, shrewd, sly, crafty,” we demur to
the use of the word, and would respectfully
refer our cotemporary of Sa-snnah to arvAh-
er lettflt of acceptance—and to whiyh it can
with giuater propriety be applied. But the
Republican thinks too, that it is ‘ remarka-
‘ hie' that Judge Brown’s speech at Canton
was delivered (too days before the date uf
htslqper of acceptance. Now we do not
.r any thing remarkable st all in ibis, inas-
•he people of Cherokee county held
<foy* before the letter was
for it and one was equally divided. VV h
the direct vote on the third resolution was
taken a few dissenting voices « ••:< heard,
not as many perhaps ua voted fi : Judge
Wright’s substitute, indeed tire vote on
his substitute was considered and admitted
to be ‘.he lest vote. Tire sun. of itie .natter
is, ninety -eight counties out ol one hundred
and seven voted unanimously that “ fidelity
to thepriii' iples which carried him into ul-
fice” demanded ol Mr. Buchanan ttie recall
of Governor Walker; in other words, if fo
did loot recall him he showed a warn of fi
delity to th</se principles; and lire pi
English of that is. he will, by refusing
recall him, show himself a traitor.
This rs ts plain unvarnished account
what took place, and the reasons upon which
it proceeded—it remains for tire Democracy
of Georgia to prove whether the treachery
of some, the timidity ol others or tin. power
of government patronage can drive or se
duce them from a po-iuon they have deliber
ately taken, and which is one ol fidelity io
the South and the Constitution.

out denying the great principle (that the
Constitution of Kansas must conic ttom the
people of Kansas) seems to think that the
Constitution of Kansas ought not to be sub
mitted to a direr! vale of the people iss their
primary cenyiejiy •" Now, there is not a word
of truth inTcilhcr.of these statements, and
can anvone believe the editor of the t’niem
i s /ostup.d as not to have known he was
p.o telling the truth when he penned them 1
The Convention did not assail Gov. Walker
because he advocated the submission of the
Constitution to a direct vote of ino people.
Every member of the Convention who ex
pressed any opinion on the point, said that
the Convention in Kansas who Irauted the
Constitution had a perfect right io submit it
nr not, as they pleased—if they submitted
ii, then to w hat class of persons they pleased,
and that this was the cleat meaning of the
Kansas act. when it.declared tho people ol
Territory shtYOld be left “ perfectly free"
to manage their own affairs. But can it he
said the people of Kansas are left perfectly
fit< ter do as tluy please when Gov. Walker
tollsjfiem he t., authorised hy Mr. Buchan
an to say if they make their Constiiuiion
Iik< GotffgTa did. - without sdtrmfttiiig ii tu
the people, or if they dure to prescribe any
class of Voters to deeide on it, otliei than
the one he dictates, that Congress will and
ought to reject their application to be admit
ted into the Union! And further, in his
Topeka speech lie threatens, in any of these
events, to join lire- Black Republicans against
them. Tire editor of the Union asks : “ Will
Mr. Buchanan in any event take tho Aboli
tion side ol the question?” Gov. Walker
assumes that Mr. Buchanan will—I quote
his words front the Topeka speech : " That
Constitution (of Kansas) they will or they
will not submit to the vole of the majority
of tin- then actual resident settlers of Kan
sas. If they do not thus submit it, I will
join you, fellow-citizens, (meaning the ab
olitionists then and there assembled) in law
ful opposition to their course. And 1 cannot
doubt, gentlemen, that onemuch higher than
1, the Chief Magistrate of the Union, will
join yon in opposition." Here, then, is one
event in which the President will take the
abolition side of tho uuestiou ; his satrap,
Walker, being the witness. This minion
is carc’ul to say lie will join the abolition
ists in lawful opposition—that is, he will go
further than to vote with tiietn; voting op-
opposition being undoubtedly lawful. But
he makes no such qualification with regard
to Mr. Buchanan, and, for aught he says,
Mr. Buchanan stands pledged hy him for
Sharp’s rides, house burningand all. Mark
well, freemen of Georgia, upon what provo
cation Walker says he and his master will
join tho abolitionists against your friends in
Kansas. It is this—if they dare to make
their Constitution like you made yours.
With this black record of rank and dis
graceful treasons staring him in the face, we
can well understand how the administration
editor is driven to use his vena! pen, hi per
verting and misrepresenting the piinciples
of !bc Georgia Democracy, and sending
broadcast his slandersover tlu- whole Union.
In order to sustain iiis master and his mas-
rer’s minion, we are held up as enemies to
the principles of Republican government.
And the rule of the people. The popular
idea of a government organ will soon be
true-e-ii is, one whose duty il is to tell the
truth, when the truth will do, and to invent
when tho necessities of the wise demifnd it.
The second ground on which tho Govern
ment editor says we assail Gov.’Walker is
“ He furnished arguments in favor of inak-
iuv Kansas a free State.” After quoting
that partoi the inaugural which clearly proves
the truth of this charge, hecontinues, “When
we take those paragraphs and compress the
meaning of them into short sentences they
amount to this : the question has been, and
always will be, settled by certain laws of
nature which are above all legislation. If
these laws of nature shall so operate upon
Kansas as to make her a free State, all legis
lation in the other direction will b>- vain -
This was rather expressing a truism than
making an argument.” lie prefaced this
part ot his. editorial with declaring on this
point he had some opinions which he pro
posed to record now and here—but finally
concludes he will not give his opinion on
the trutli of this second charge, lie says:
“ The propriety, however, and timeliness of
uttering such a truism then and there, aro
subjects on which wo affirm nothing and
deny nothing. We are too far away and
know too little of circumstances with which
he was surrounded to be a competent judge
of his conduct in a matter so nice as this.”
Here is a prudent, sensible, discreet organ
for you. He is near enough to the Georgia
Democracy to traduce and misrepresent their
prin-iples ; hut when we make out a case
on ins master's man in Kansas so dear that
even :iri organ will not risk a denial, lie nei
ther affirms nor denies ; distance so confu
ses his perceptions that he cannot assume to
be a judge ol Walker's conduct “ in a matter
so nice.” Is it no argument in favor of a
free State to say that the chilling blasts which
sweep over Kansas reduce the average ratine
ol the thermometer nearly as low an in
New England? Strange blasts thoae, which
blow up to the Missouri line and slop. Kan
sas Ires broadside to Missouri; the tier of
counties adjoining Kansas are the airon
est pro-slaver) counties m the Slate; every
representative UoJy that lias been yet elected
in Kansas was pro-slavery by a large major
ity ; and yet Governor Walker takes it for
grunted that under tills rule such a thing
will never happen again, audcoolly tr-llsour
enemies that they uughl to provide for giv

Stale in tire Indian Territory, South of Kan-
»-is. whenever tie: General Government shall
violate it-, plighted faith by taking it from
its present owners. The organ can see no
th, ng improper in this, nothing unjust, no
thing violative of the Kansas acl-^it fo all
right, or at least tori nice to be judged of at
a distanee. Verily, it would be better for
one’s self respect to bo a hewer of wood,
than to be the editor of a government organ.
But enough of tho organ and its editorials.
1 must ask pardon of your readers for wast
ing so much time on such a tissue ot false
hoods and fallacies. They are almost be
neath contempt, and can deceive no one who
is not already a tra,tor to his country and
willing to be deceived. He is a fit and pro
per organ for Mr. Buchanan, if lie retains
Walker—in that case his organ is worthy of
him, and he it worthy of iiis organ, initial
event, history, “ with her pen of iron and
her tablets of brats,” though not condescend
ing to mention the organ, will write down
the master in the saw-FlisI with Arrteld.

This question has been pressed by some who
