The Democratic party in the 2d Congrcaaiona) District, ix In the majority, and can carry the election. It buhouves all members loyal to the common caue we espouse, to stand tirraly by tbe democratic colors, and not desert tbe tirfte honor ed flag. We have no evidence that tbey will tint present a bold front against the assault* of the opposition, but a word of warning will not be oat of place. In hocdc of the counties in the die trirt, there are independent democratic candi dates running in opposition to Uie regular nomi nees. They may etOnne iriemeelvcs for good him! aufflcii nt reasons.

COUMKlift. NATiKDAY, SF.PTKMBKK 24. IH.lu Tbelbuquirrrand •?. Drown. Tbe Knquirer of yesterday makes several uu loiioded charges tig*inot Gov. Brown, and close* by the remark, “dare” the Time* deny a single count In the shore indict moot again.,t flov. Brown ’”| As it is very easy to dispone of those matters, we will do no in *hort order. Tbe Kuquircr says: Ist- That Gov. Brown ho* not yot answered Ho-query of the gentleman el Klyay. whether he will support Stephen A Douglas for the Presiden ey. Nor their other query, whether he considers Congress constitutionally bound to protect slave ry in the Territories. AH we have to say to this is, that we think Gov. Browu will answer to the satisfaction of his friends in duo time. The Enquirer further snys : 2d. TbatGov. Brown ml vised the Banks of the f*tale that they might, in violation of law, charge thi market price for exchange, or, in plain terms, it* much as they could get the law rostriuting them to the rale of 7 per cent, per annum ! That Gov. Brown, whose sworn duty it is to exarnhie and see whether the returns and oath, of ftHiik officers are made in due conformity to law, received and admitted statements and oaths which did not declare, iu the terms of tbe laws that the Banks “had not, in any particular, vio lated the provisions of the act”; nor, in the lan guage of the form furnished by the Governor himself, that they had not violated the law of 1367 “since the passage of the act.ussented to 11th December, 1HS8”; but instead thereof, be receiv ed and admitted oaths that tbey had not violated the act of 18i>7 i, *ince their latt return ” -said last return (whether it was the otic referred to in the oath or not we cannot say) being dated only sev en day- previous to the date of this oath ? The above we do most emphatically jdeny, and call for the proof. And the readers of tho Kn quirer will see how groundless arc these charges, when tbut paper publishes letter, with tbe remarks of the Federal Union explaining the circumstance* under which it was written. Tliut, all tliis time, while thus conniving with tn Banks for tbe evasion or violation of the laws (cautioning them not to let his secret letters to them get into tbe public prints,) Gov. Br*wn was representing himself to the people as a jealous watcher of the Bank* and tho especial guardian of the rights of the public from their rapacity and exaction* ! Having denied the truth of the charges prefer red by the Enquirer against Gov. Brown, of course tho above ia equally unfounded. The Knquirer for party purposes, seems to be blind to the proper distinction always made, as to an ofHuial and an unofficial letter written by public officers,and it terms Gov. Brown’s letter to Mr. f’ohen a “aecret” letter, morely because Gov. Brown said it was a private <nw, und not to he published and treated as an official document. Suppose Gov. Brown had not requested hi* let ter not to be published, Ac', CJoI. Cohen or any other person receiving it might have considered it an official letter and published it -which would have placed Gov. Brown in an attitude he cared not to assume. And in his caution not to be mis understood imdplaci'd in a false position, he dis tinctly lay* it Is not official or for publication. And for this he is charged with writing “secret letters” Ac. The Cohen letter must indeed be a strange “secret lotler,” for we lean that it is copied in the Letter Boole in the Ksernfirt 1 tffi.ee. where all former Governors have had their letters to vn rious persons on public affair* copied.

There is little doubt but that if the masse* of the Opposition party were informed to what length* their leaders hare gone in this matter, id for what purpose* they, the people, are be ing used, they would l>e struck dumb with aston ishment and horror. The plot thickens, and it is to lie patriotically hoped that the event may be known ere the catastrophe becomes inevi table. Du the 2bth ult. the Opposition party held a festival at Memphis over the recent gain of Con gressmen in that State. Tbe Hon. Edward Bates, of Missonri, was invited to be present and ad dress them. He is a prominent candidate of the Black Republican party for the Bresidenry, and of whom a Black Republican journal (the North ampton, Muss., “Gexette A Courier,”) use* the following iauguuge; “Prominent among the candidates for the Re publican non)ination tor tbe Presidency, stands the Hon. Edward Bute*, of Missouri. His posi tion among the able men of the West, and more particularly as belonging to that Htate which is, ere long, by the exertions of Bates and Blair, to bo the Drat of the slave-Htates to embrace Free- dom, and gain him a prominence that all must acknowledge, Ho is practically an anti-slavery man, having emancipated his own slaves, and being in favor of emancipation in Missouri.” In reply to the invitation to Memphis, tbe Hon. Edward Bate*, after acknowledging tbe honor conferred, and excusing himself from at tending, on account of sickness in his family, writes as follows : “The party in office, (i will not say in power,) is of itself, a weak and helpless minority. It has no chance of renewed success, but the hope, land I tru*t a vain and fallacious hope,J “Lbat wo will he so unwise and so unpatriotie, as to waste our strength in party bickerings, about old parly names, and subordinate questions of policy and convenience, and to split up our forces into platoon* and *ections, as if for the very purpose of enabling an inferior enemy to (mat us in detail. If we bo so unwise as that—if we allow tbe ad versary to form tbe plan of our campaign- to marshal our troops, to tell u* when lo march and where to camp, und how to light—of course we shall get what we earn and deserve—defeat.” In the above, the parentheses and italics arc his own. Is not the proof patent ? Would a true Kouth rn man have stood on the same platform with the Hon. E.

After an absence of sevcrul day* at Chattooga Superior Court, upon my return h<mc late last evening, my attention was arrested by a very ex traordiuary communication of CoL Akin, the op position candidate for Governor, in the Daily Gonel Rationalist of the Id instant. The Col. seem* to bo still engaged in hi* usual, though generally hariiilcs* occupation, of “blowing his own horn. ‘ As the Col. sometimes “ministers in holy things,” we would recommend to his “prayerful attention” iu) the subject of a future discourse. Proverbs 22 chapter, 22 verse, lii* laudations of himself, at tbe expense of Gov. Brown and mysalf, would have posted unnoticed, .if it had contained the truth. There is an evident intention to make the impression of corruption between Gov. Browu arid myself. One filing is certaiu, either he is very moderate in hi* charges, or I have been very extravagant in niiuo, and the Governor very lib cral iu tho payment of them. Now would it I* Udieved, that this identical combination of the military and the civil, bad charged one thousand dollar* in the samo cu*e in which I hail charged one hundred! Yet such Is the fact, if my mem ory serves me correctly; (for l have not the pa pers before mo) but for lear I may not state tbe fact correctly, 1 will mention the. ease, that l may be corrected, if wr-mg. And not only did the said Col. *0 charge, but by controlling the case over my bond and against my earnest pro testation, lost the State about three thousand dol lar*. I allude to the case of the Western AAt lantio Railroad vs. James Edmonson of Murruy. The bill returned to the office of this Hoad at Atlanta, will show what I charged; let tbe Col. stale what *hc“ charged, t'ul. Edmondson pro posed to mo to confess judgment for three thou sand dollar*, which 1 wit* about to take, when Col. Akin, interb red mid claimed the right, as the senior counsel to control it. Now let him Htate what lie got, (the road got nothing after the payment of hi* foe*, and what fee he charged. 1 Let him explain this, and then give us another chapter upon Democratic corruption. 1 aut upon human perfection as exemplified by himself. 1 n the mutter of the Martha Kinney casein Gass, I desire to make a statement, us the Col. lias unceremoniously ami unnecessarily dragged mo before the public. That case was instituted by me fora widow against the road, for tbe kill ing, by running otl the cars, of a most promising sou. The widow was poor, very poor, and the death of this son deprived her of her only tueam of support, lor the testimony showed be was a most affectionate and dutiful soh, ami gave hi* earnings regularly to support his mother, and ed ucate tlie younger children. 1 tried again to settle this case with the Kup erintendont, who was willing and anxious to do so, but for tiie Col.'a pertinacious interference. 1 plead her poverty and the duty of the road and offered to give her every dollar of my own fee, if the road would pay her a moderate suui. Finally she wrote to me that she was sick, and hud been tor a long time, and was suffering for the neces saries of life, and “for God's sake to get some thing from the road tor her.” 1 proposed lo the Superintendent to take the amount of Col. Akin'* fee in that case, lie the same more or less, so the road could not lose. He said he would gladly do *O, if the Col. would let him, by whose counsel he felt bound to be governed. The Col. declined to let him do it. 1 otiered to toko three hundred dollars, in view of her necessities, ami give eve ry dollar to the w idow; he declined this Mini con trolled the Superintendent against his judgment. At last Cass court, or court before, I recovered 11 pou the appeal. • within a few dollars of four thousand. He then quit tbe case ami refused!*) take it, without another fee, to the Supreme Court. The road was compelled to eiupluy other couuaulor let the verdict stand. And this is the gentluiuan who arraigns Browu’s “Deino -oratio friends” for Mitall service and large lee*. “Oh that some power thegift would give us, To see ourselves as others see us.” I “non enquiring as to the reason why the Col. exhibited so much spleen against my client, who lived in his own town, and was a man*her of his otfn church, 1 wa* told her younger son, who sometime* drank too much, had upon some occa sion, in this condition, abused the Col. This wa* enough. The Col's dignity, which is much the larger half of him, was offended. Woe be to the luckless wight, who disturbs him in the con templation of hi* own proportion*. There are other instances where hi* “admirable management” of the law business of the road may cause it to suffer the loss of thousands; but I did not start out to point out the Col's conduct, farther than a reply to his unprovoked assault upon the Governor am! “Judge Wright, who is a good Democrat,” requires. What are the fact* iu this ca*e Know Nothing, (for if lie did not join the order, he aided ami abetted to the extent of his capacity ) holds pool lion, under a Democratic administration, get.> all he can, and growls because Democrat* are allow ed to interfere with him in his acquisition*. And this position he continues to hold, after it is known to him. his rcUuquishtuent of it would be accepta ble to the Governor, by refusing to quit upon pay ment for services rendered: and requiring, if dis charged. pay incut ill full fur the coses to tbe end. Wonder, from the signs how many Democrat* will hold office or position under him if he get* to be Governor! Jove, with his thunderbolts, would not bo more dangerous oiuoug the Gods, then the Gol. among the Democrat*. “Sticks and mallets,” it is supposvd would be in demand.

Governor Brown paid Jndge Wright, who is a good Deniociat ami a support er of the Governor, three thousand dollars, whon Judge Wright had been in service of the road in some coses about 18 months.

They say he did not promise to “defend” tbe State against the Martha Kinney <-a*e, “to the md” of litigation, but only promised to defend it to the end of litigation in Gas* Superior Gourt. To show how false are all these asserUous of Col. Akin’s friends, let us see what Gov. Browu aud Mr. Akin say upon *he subject. Gov.

ONE OF TH* PEOPLE. Hut or lit In.

We know either |iersonally or hy reputation • lew of the imrsons whose name* are given in this “list of distinguished and influential Democrats who have abandoned Brown and declared for Akin,” and know that some of them are not Demo crats, aud that some of them have not abandon ed Brown. Wui. Mope Hull, Ksq., the most |>r >miuent man in the list, is a warm supporter of Gov. Brown so we believe is his lather, the Hon. A*- bury Hull, of Clarke, although the latter did not approve of the bauk policy of Gov. Brown, in |HSB. Like many others, he will doubtless re fuse to consider the bank policy of Gov. Browu in IKSK, an issue iu this canvass, aud sustain him as the representative of tbe party with which he has acted for several years past. P. 11. Brewster, Ksq., of Cherokee, a brother in-law of Governor Brown, is a Know Nothing, aud ha* uot been uu friendly terms * ilh like Gov ernor for several years. J. Wat. Harris ix a Democrat of the Vaneev school, who has been spoken es as the candidate of the Oppositiua iu the Fifth District for Con gress. lie ha* uot abandoned Brown ; for he bos never declared for him. E. V. Johnson andCol.W.W. Clayton, of Coxa, are Democrats ; but. like Mr. llama, never de clared for Brown indeed, would not have voted for him. if Akiu had uot been nominated. They wen?, both of them, officer* on the State road un dor Gov. Johuson, aud have reason* for opposing Gov. Brown which they think sufficient, but which are purely personal. We do uot know the other names mentioned in thi* list. They may he Democrats, and may be sup|H>rting Akin ; but if they are, it is not a mat ter of much importance. Wo have no doubt that Gov. Brown will lose the votes of a tew good Democrats; but for every Democratic vote which he loses, he will get teu from the Opposition. —Awjueta t’nu*tilutioHali*t. “Oil Ibr Ahln ” Under the above heading the Atlanta Awwicsw gives a list of “distinguished and influential dem ocrats who have ahaudoned Brown and declared for Akiu.” In the list wc find the name* of Hou.

If the American is as much mistaken in regard to the other gentlemen mentioned as it is iu regard to tbe Messrs, liuil, it will be as hard for the editors to sulwtautiato their assertion, as it is for them to prove their Bank charge against Gov. Brown from his letter. There is not a word *f truth in the assertion that either of these gen tlemen have “abandoned Browu aud declared for Akin.” The reputation of the American for ve racity would not suffer if it was a little more cau tion* in it* assertions.— A then* Southern Manner.

Tbe Enquirer of Thursday lost, gives the reas ons, which it denominate* “weighty,” for Col. Mott’s vol* in favor of State aid to the Macon A Brunswick Railroad. They area* follows : “He said that the people of Columhu* and it* contiguous country wore at tbe mercy of the Cen tral Railroad ; that cotton, which ought to go forward and be sold at the high prices it could then command, was backed up into our ware houses and the gin-house* of the planter* by the failure of tbe Central Railroad to pro Tide the mean* of shipment.” Tbe difficulty which Col. Mott here deprecate* could be effectaally obviated only by a continua tion of the Macon and Brunswick Rood to Colum bus. The Central Railroad stop* at Moeon. The South western and Museogee Road ex tends thence to this point. If tbe cotton be blocked up io our warehouses, the blame should fall upon the latter roorl*. The former t* responsible only for it* conveyance from Moron. But again : “That unjust and injurious diserimination* against Columbu* were made by the Central Rood, one of which was that flour was transport ed from Atlanta to Savannah for 80 cent* per bar rel, while tbe charge from Columbus to Savannah (the same distance) wosfl per barrel.” Here, indeed, we recognize a “weighty” round eration. Unfortunately, however, for Gol. Mott’s disinterestedness, tbe force of the reason i* spent mainly upon Kim and hi partners. He is known to be largely interested in the rnanufacture.of fi“r in thi* city, aud a saving of4o cent* a barrel on hi* heavy shipments of that article would doubt lest be a considerable item in a year’s ope rations. Wc may be permitted, however, to ques tion whether thi* advantage to the individual can justify tbe Legielutor iu voting to tax the people to the extent of nearly ONE MILLION DOLLARS. . (rONUmfCATKO.) Tothf interior Maxrogrr (onnty. W hen gentlemeu re offer themselves candidates for the Legislature, aud ask for our votes, it bo < omes tbe duty of every good oitixen to examine into their official arts, ami see if tbey deeervcn tidenee and support for a re-election. Thi* ex amination the candidates themselves should not attempt to evade. If it turns out that any one or all of them, have violated their duty knowingly and wilfully to the hurt aud injury of their imme diate constituency, tbey should either beg pardon for it and decline a canvass, or be beat. What, fellow-citizens, was the conduct of Messrs. How ard and Mott in tbe lost Legislature, relative to that odious Market Ordinance bill, for tbe city of Columbus? From what Col. Mott says about it. it seems Col. Mott was the author and drawer of the bill, and that be was the man who bod it ptsss 01L It turn* out that Howard dodged or refused to vote when the final vote wa* taken, having told CoL Mott before hand, that he believed a part of tbe bill was unconstitutional. Thus, fcllow-citi sen* we have the case bofure us, with the facts.— It is unnecessary *> say much about the nefarious bill itself. Every body knows how it wa* at tempted to he executed. Every body know* that under it, peaceable aud uuuftendiug citisens were restrained iu their liberty, and not allowed to aell the product* of their labor iu the city, whenever and wherever a purchaser could be found for them. Every body known, that for exercising this right, they were liable, under that admirable act, to be fined, and for refusing to pay or being unable to pay it, they were liable to arrest and imprisonment in a stinking calaboose without any trial at all. Every body knows, bow, after a bard tight between tbe Mayor and Council and Gen. Betbune, (who wa* fined and arrested under it,) ibis outrageous act (twill not coll R law) was scouted and pronouuced unconstitutional oy the (Supreme Gourt. Now the the question is, which of the two, Howard or Mott, deserves most cen sure for the part they look ia this transaction? — l.et us see: Col. Mott, like old Father Adam, when his Maker called him up to give an account of his “actings and doings,” instead of pleading guilty like a mau and lagging fur pardon, threw < the whole blame on his poor, weak, defenceless wife; *O, in this case the unhappy Council Is shouldered with tbe sin of this wicked act by CoL Mott. But Father Adam did not get off with his poor excuse, be knew bis conduct was inexcusa ble and he did not escape, and, if lam not badly mistaken, Col. Mott will fare no better in thiseaec. Col. Mott was informed by Howard before the passage of the bill, that he, Howard, believed it was unconstitutional and wrong. Col. Mott can not throw that on the City Council at least. He had knowledge that it was wrong, but he weut ahead. pu*hed the hill along os fast as he possi bly could; he hurried it up “quicker thau shootin” and it is “too late” now, to plead ignorance or to try to get out of it by throwing tbe blame on the City Council. Nicholas Howard says he believed the bill (or apart of R) was unconstitutional, but he let it pas* without saying a word in hi* place against it. It appear* he either got out of tbe way on pufpose, or if he wa* present he refused to vote and so let the odious thing pass. Here, fellow afcts—s, we have a cose worse even, than Gol. Mott'i. Here we find a Legislator sent to guard and uphold the right* and liberties of his consti tuents, deliberately ret using to oppoite an act which he wa* *ali*fied wa* unconstitutional and wroug. Mr. Howard in this affair is more repre hensible than Col. Mott, in every aspect of the case, and justly deserve* the disapprobation of every man in the eounty If the freemen of Mus cogee vote to ttd these two geuUcuiuu bock to the Legislature again, they will show very plain ly that they do not core much for their right* or liberties. UPATOIK. COMM! NICATKO. fircoud District t oure*loaal Meet ion 4a Ap prl to lfMwrtiv There is an insidious and dangerous game be ing played by the Opposition party iu the 2d din trie t, the object ot which ie to defeat the Demo cratic candidate, Judge Crawford, and to elect their own candidate, Mr. Douglas*. Many of the leading and substantial men of that party are pntrndimg to be favorable to ties. Bethuue, in older to induce and encourage democrats to throw away their votes also on Rethune. whilst they no more intend to vole for lielbune than they do for Crawford. We have heard of Severn! such cases in this county and in Chattahoochee, and learn that there is a systematic understand ing ail over the district to weaku Judge Craw ford's vote by this artful and deceitful game, and thus slip in Mr. Douglass. We take the liberty, most respectfully but warmly, to warn our Demo eiatie friends, every where, %6 beware of this dan gwrous device of their political enemies. We tel you that not one man in twenty of the opposition who professes now to be for Rethune, will vote for him on the day. Depend upon it, it is a mere rase to draw off Democrats from Crawford. Why should you vote for iiethuue ? Crawford is the regular ooiuinae of the party; he was fairly nominated: he is a good democrat, a sound Southern Rights man. and efficient and useful member of Congress. He has served the district (aithfully: he has served the democratic party with seal and fidelity ; he is now fighting the battles of the party, and gallantly bearing up the glori ous old standard of Democracy which you your selves have placed in his hands ; he has strong claims upon your sympathies and support; it would be a *kam if he should be defeated by the desertion of his own political Friends, and an op position candidate put in his place. What elaims has tlen. Rethune on your support? He has not actod with your party for many years; be has been nothing but an Ishinaelite, warring against every body and every thing, and fighting only for himtelf. He has seised upon a hobby at this time, on which he is endeavoring to ride into office. 1U kuows well that if elected, be eould no more effect the repeal of the Tariff and get his free trade policy adopted, than he could stop the Chattahoochee river by throwing grains of sand one at a time into it. If elected, ho would be a more cypher in Congress, without weight, influ ence or power. No man of such peculiar and owe idtm notions and habits, can over exercise influ ence in such a body as the Congress of tho United Btatos. Why then discard Crawford, a useful wan, and vuto fur Botbune, a mere blank- besides. what is the use us voting for Betbune, even if you like hi# doctr incs ? No man in the district, not even the General himself, has tbe uiot re mote* idea of his election, and yet, ho may po*- tibly get voles enough from democrats, to beat Crawford with Douglas*. There it danger of this, aud yet, we feel eoufldent that no democrat who propost*to vote for Betbune. would rejoice at such a result, indeed, we feel assured thst be would be mortified at it. Why, therefore, risk tbe defeat of Crawford and the success of the opposition candidate, by throwing away demo cratic vote* upon Betbune, merely to gratify bis ambition or for the soke of adbereuoe to a prin ciple which cannot p<asibly be accomplished by supporting such a man. It seems to us to bo suicidal in itself, and highly unjust to the true and faithful man who is struggling to maintain the leading principles and the supremacy of the Democratic party. We pray you Dviiksts 1 of tbe 2d district, to consider how much harm you may do and how little good you con accomplish by casting your votes upon one who stands no earthly chance of turoeß* neither now or here after. DEMOCRAT. Mr. Akin, tbe One Bene t andtdatc. Rxutowi, Sept. 17,1659. JUeeer*. Editor*— We have heard a great many *leeebes in this section, for the last week or two: big folks aud little foike, high folks and low folks, old folks and young folks; we have heard all sorts and sizes, and yet there are two thing* we don’t know. One is, why tbe Opposition want to heat Joe Brown, and the other is why they want to elect Mr. Akin. Brown, they all said, a while back, made a good Governor ; and now I don't see why they wont to heat him, unless it is for spite, because he beat Ben Hill so bad. A* for Mr. Akin, be has no platform that we ever heard of, except Joe Brown and tbe old Au gusta woman, who haul a drunken husband. All the Opposition speakers in this seetiou, tell us, when they get up, is, how he hauled wood up in Cherokee with a (one-horse wagon ; so we call him the one-horse candidate. M ali, if he is elect ed on that score, at the next election, we may ex pect to see every man from the “piney woods” trying to lie Governor. But how has Mr. Akin got any advantage of Joe Brown, if he did drives one-borae waggon? Didn't Joe Brown drive a cart and one steer; and didn't he ride that steer all the way to South Car olina to see his kin folks? Another thing we want to know, is it 00 that Mr. Akin has employ ed Dr. 11. V. M. Miller to cut the veins of every boy’* neck in Cherokee, and is to give him a hun dred dollars a piece ? If that is so, may he that is what he is goiug to do with the money from the State Road when he is elected. Your old friend, CLOD KNOCKER. The present position of tbe Oppositionist Souths ix not ouly novel but startling. From the ros trum, and in private, tbey repel the charge of eoalilion with the Block Republican*, but do ac tions wean nothing ? They shout, “Down with Republicans;” and yet side by side with them, tbey charge the Democratic rank*, “islave Dri ver*;” shriek the* Abolitionists. “Profligates cry the oppositioatote, and with one accord they fall upon the Democracy. The war cries are dif ferent but they tight the same foa. Must we Bow abandon the ancient and time honored apothegm “actions speak louder than words,” or shall we still hold it true ? Does it signify nothing that uuh men os Etheridge of Touuettaee, A Jams of Kentucky, and Gilmer of North Carolina, should be re-elected, and that Winter Davis of Maryland should be re-nominated ? Doe* it signify nothing that a leading Seward paper, (the N. Y. Courier 4 Koquirer,) shunld rejoice at such result* and express for those wen its “sincere respect and hearty sympathy ?” On the 7th insL, at Trenton, New Jersey, the Republicans nominated for Governor. Charles K Olden, and tbe Opposition, afterward* being in formed of the fact, in Convention rati/ied ih* nomination. Does that too menu nothing ? The Oppositionists Kouth are about to u**uine a fearful responsibility. If they calculate hy overthrowing tbe Demo cratic Party to share power and ploce with the Republicans, or to augment the happiness aud prosperity of the people, it is such wisdom as if the lamb xhouid seek from the wolf protection against the shepherd. The moMcx are hooast. bat let them beware of corrupt and ambitious leaders. I .coders who seek their own aggrandisement, regardless of the pop ular good.
