W* rof rot to see manifested > u some qusr
ioi a • disposition to put Into practical operation
i hi* maxim in the election shortly to lake pWc
for member* of the permanent government.—
To our mind it forebode* no Rood tot bo young
Republic, and if carried out to it* full eitent,
will retard rather then hailen the measure*
end legislation nereaaury to he adopted for
the ac-dlement of our new relation*, domett iu
aud foreign, upon a secure and lasting basis. *
The popular idea, that every gentleman of ed
it* at ion. good character nnd fair talenta la ca
pable of taking upon liimacll the duties and
iejK>naibilitioft oi constructing and adrnini*
taring a government, is na dangerous u it i* er
roneous. Thera ia no department of life that
demand* a greater show of energy, prudence
and judgment, upon the part of those who en
ter a, or i more dependent upon the accumu
lated wisdom and thorough experience of
those who are to preside over ita deatiniea.
And at no time in the hialory of our uew
<’<moderation, will these qualities be more im
perioosly demanded and needed, than in the
Congress which is to present to the iiispei
tion, criticism and te t of the world—the
>*outhern Confederacy under it* permanent
Constitution.
For the auc< es which has tolar attended
our new Government we are in a an.all degree
xtdebled to the new name*, which have been
ailed to its council*, us compared to the rare
aULDet and ripe experience oft hose whose baud
and imo.ls were familiar with affaire of State,
Mud it 4* a matter extremely to be deplored by
Georgia, who by qoiuuzou consent holds the
moat important posit ion tu potut of influence
in our provisional government: that a mm
iCUided patriotism ha* transferred no many oi
tier autt-arnrn from the Cabinet to the lielJ.
I .el thepeop'e of Georg in ace to it then, that
w hen they ngniu make choice of those into
whoac keeping thoy are to place their future
hope* and destinies, they select Mich *
-ball not lower the proud prestige ol the Flute,
and such u ehnll bring to the performance ol
their Lift fronts, u<>t only ability aud iniogri
v, t*ut altn knowledge of the uauts of* the
i biVniumeut mol •p*rfont‘e a-, to the uu-c-.
lary legislation lo meet them.
W e do not menu to be understood u- undri
rating the claims, patriotism tu ability of any
of ihf jnaay a#pirnuta for honorable promotion
‘V# know that Georgia hu* a host ol sons, who
would worthily wear any honors that ah.-
might In her Wisdom bestow upon them, but
do not think this the tiiu* to make lhaexpri
.ment of sweeping aivay all ol her old well
tried, trim and faithful servant*, an.l mai.l in

To thr PtOfJt of Kentucky
By your repr**enlativea in the bint Legisla
inre you eonicrrcd on me the commission of
tteualorin the Congress of the Vniled Stutea.
Iu March lust, when my term of service began;
i he Union had been dissolved by the withdraw -
ttl ol suvoft which the policy ol coer
cion h.is increased to twelve State*. At that
linn- u msjorlty ofthe people of Kentucky uli
cherished the hopeoJ'a peaceful reunion. 6oon
nfterwards, when the (joveroment at Wn-h
----ington commenced lhat senes of usurpations
which has now left nothing of t he Federal ( <n-
Kii-.uiion, nnd resolved on a war ol auhjogu
lion aguint the withdrawing State* to secure
union uu.l l.ioiherhood, you determined to take
no part in the war, but to protect your liber
he* by a position of armed neutrality. Thi*
deoisi'.n wu* expressed by u large majority of
thi-people at the election in May.
I had opposed (hi* policy before the ele.-ti. n
but atlerwards, m common with the
fliartm ihue wall whom I had acted, 1 a* •
quiesced in your expressed will and have mant-
In.ued it a* the lived altitude of KeiilUckv.—
in obedience as 1 oppose to your w.xhcs, l
proceeded to Wu*hiu;;tn!i, and at tbe special
seriiott of (,'otigrea* in July spoke nuJ voted
against the whole war policy Ol the Fresuleni
u ud Congresn; demanding hi nd.lition lor
Kentucky the right to refu-*- not men only but
money alio to the war, for I would nave
i,lushed to meet you with tbe confession thut
1 had purchased fur your e.xemptiou from tbe
peril.* ol the buttle held, and the shame of wa
ging war ugninst your 8001 hern brethren by
hiring others to do the work you shrank from
performing. During that memorable session,
u very *n>4l! l*ody of Benalor* and representa
tives, even beneath the shadow of a military
despotism, resisted the usurpations of the Ex
ecutive aud witp what dgree of dignity aud firm
ness they will willingly submit to tbe judgment
of the world.
Their effort* vv.-ie unavailing yet they may
prove valeable hereafter as another added to
lortner examples ol manly |rcte?t ar jm*i the
progress of tyranny

The Constitution of the I'tilted Staten bar bean

power she delegated in that instrument to the
Federal Gorernuiegd had v. !d to her. and any

First, by tbe aid of *omc citizens of the

illegally end secretly introduced by Die or

that they needed them lur p<otection against

violation.
Next, Fed,l military officers lu*gun •) recruit

Federal money was lavishly expended iu Die
hope to demoralize and corrujt the people.
A studied system of deception wa practiced
