Baturday Morning, November 3. 1806 ri»Uturc met last ihu; ■ ■ ■; ■ (i* Thc*I/r -We have received a Ilote Carroll urn. in which he * the resolutions jiass'<1 In Carrollton; that UisAvnioaca®.- from Mr. Griffin, of rtAteff be <!<*■* not appr<>\ hr the last relief mectin ‘Old Court House when he was not in the t,} If .y were adopted, and that his name should urA have been signal to them as Secretary.— He vot d for and tdill endorses the action of the first meeting. Then and Now. Daring the war of 1812. the New England States threatened to accede from the Union, and K,, far did they carry He ir opposition t - the Government, that the Governor General of Canada sent an agent to fV»ston to negotiate terms for the annexation to tlie Briti.-h I rou j- ces of the disaffected States; and had not the American arms boon triumphant in the mean time, it is almost certain that the Canadian emissary would have returned home crowned with success. Knowing that money is tue sinews of war, associations were formed in the communities referred to to advise and deter men from subscribing to the government loans. In IV*ton tlie agents of the Treasury Depart ment advertised to receive subscription:. but careful to date Dud Dtc names »f mlsonbcrs tcvuld be kept secret. _ Now reader, would you not think that New England would, in all coming pure consistency, be the supporter and defend er of disunion and secession, and the lust one In nil of God’s creation to favor the annexing a penalty to acts of which she had been guilty, when committed by others' How changed. New England is to-day the pink of loyalty, and clamors loudly for the hluod and property of Southern secessionists, while their only crime was an honest effort to maintain consti tutional liberty. Oh! consistency, thou art a jewel. The Negro Exodus. Wo fear that our fanners arc not exerting themselves as they should to retain the negroes as laborers. Every week Newman is visited by one, two or more persons, whose sole business is to hire laborers for Mississippi and other States. We trust that these parties will not receive aid and encouragement from our own citizens ; for every one who induces a laborer to emigrate strikes a fatal blow at the prosper* ity of our country. We urge our farming friends to look to this question in time, and bv all fair and legal means they should seek to render the blacks contented, and encourage them to make another effort, and perhaps pro* pitious seasons and hard licks may ldess them and their employers with a plentiful harvest in 18C7. The shrewd negroes are advising their race to leave for distant homes, knowing full well that the fewer remaining here the higher will their wages be. This is a correct view of the Subject, and good field hands will command from $250 to $.'100 next year, unless means are resorted to to check emigration. Freedom His Ruin. The negro referred to Ixdow was an humble, doc ile Have and was never suspected of p-sscss- in- any of the passions of a murderer. While jt is true he should be punished lor the crime if guiltv. still those who forced freedom on him are far guiltier than he. 'I"l»e Macon Tele graph of Sunday, say ••; “Lieutenant Win.

From the report of the Comptroller General we gather the following facts. The entire bonded debt of the .Stale is $5,708,o00—$2,- 670,600 are in old bonds. The polls of whites are 86,900—polls of negroes 65,900. The num ber of maimed soldiers is 914. The total num ber of acres of land returned in 1800 was 68,- 845,289; in 1866, 80,116.928, being a decrease of 8,228,860. The total value of land in 18<iO was $161,764,555; in 1866, $108,112,524 ; and the average value ]H’V acre in 1860, $4 85 ; in I860, $8 42, being a decrease of $1 48 per acre, lu order to form a correct estimate of the ac tual decrease, fifty per cent, must be either deducted from tlie value of land in I860, or added to t-liat of 1800. The value of land in 1800, in the present currency, amounts to $242,647,482, which, compared with that of 1860, shows ail actual decrease of $189,584,908 in United States currency, amounting to three- fifth of its value since 1800. City and town property has, as it is perceived, been returned at a higher valuation than any other species of property.

The Secretary says the F. S. Consul at Toronto lias been instructed to procure, for the information of the Government, a copy of the record of the trial and conviction of Lynch and McMahon, and also further trials and convictions of a similar character which shall bike place in Canada. Petitions from Canadians have been sent to the Governor General, asking that no mercy ha shoYcn the Fenians, while other petitions urge that the sentence lie change to imprison ment for life. The Fenians throughout the U‘ States are greatly excited. Men and money are being raised. The Episcopal Church at Brantford, Canada West, was sacked by Fenians, on hearing of the sentence of Lynch and McMahon. The Piesident has ordered a pardon to issue to Ex-Confederate Secretary of Treasury, Mr. Ten holm. A dispatch lias been received from the Prus sian embassy at Paris, saying that there was no hope for Napoleon, and that bi6 death may be hourly expected. Foreign advices shite that the relations lie- tween Austria and Prussia are assuming a mrn- aeing character. The jmijeet submitted by France and En gland to the Spanish Government for the settlement of the Chilliau difficulty has been approved by the Queen of Spain and her min istry. An arrival from Candla states that another great battle took place on the 17th ult. The Greeks report that the Turkish army was re pulsed. General Dick Taylor visited President Davis October 80th.

The Federal judiciary li is jurisdiction of all questions arising under the Constitution and i iws of the United States, and by virtue of this new provision, if adopted, every matter of ju dicial investigation, civil of criminal.

In a controversy be tween two neighbors about the ownership ot a pig, the unsuccessful party may allege that the State tribunals have deprived him of his pri'pertv without due prm.vss ot law. and t.iue the case before the Federal tribunals f >r revis ion. So if a man be indicted for larceny or other crime, convicted, and sentenced, upon allegation of deprivation of liberty without due process of law, lie may bring the case betore the Federal tribunals for revision and reversal. So, too, if a murderer he arrested, tried, con victed. and sentenced to be hung, he may claim the protection of the new constitutional provision — allege that a State is aisiut to de prive him of life without due process of law. and arrest all farther proceedings until the Your iYL •v uu/- n. >.

Washington. D. ('., Get. 13. 1866. Col. AY. II. Benueson and Maj. H. V. Sullivan, JJuiney, Illinois : Gextlkmex—It would give me great pleasure to comply with your request, and visit Illinois to meet my old friends and neighbors, and to talk to them face to face upon the great ques tions now before the country. But it is not practicable for me to do so. My public duties forbid it. Our Government is worth preserving. No people were ever blessed with one better worth it. There are now two tendencies in public atfciirs, liotli of which are fraught with danger. One is to a centralization -T power in the Gen eral Government: the other, an absorption by the legislative department of many of the pow ers and prerogatives of the executive and the judiciary. Tin safety of a free government is in keeping the jvwer near the people. This was well un derstood by tlie statesmen who formed the ori ginal thirteen States, and united them and their ‘ i people in one Federal Government. They gave io the General Government only such powers io tlie mates respectively and tLrir people. And in framing Mate constitutions -ad laws tiny placed as mucli power .is was compatible with tuc general welfare of ihe 8uite in the goverinnent of counties, townshipe, ;uid lesser in the Constitution it will iu time change the entire structure and texture of our Government and sweep away all the guarantees of safety devised and provided by our patriotic sires ot the Revolution, o a & * © Another blow which tlie proposed amend ment aims at the Government which our fath ers founded is the change of the basis of repre sentation. This would be iff very pernicious effect. Aggregate p -pulation is the true basis of representation. N<> matter how the elective franchise be disposed of. whether exercised by few or many, ali da.-x.ses of the community are represented. The interests of all cla.->cs ot people in the same community are so interwo ven and commingled that they cannot be sepa rated, and whoever wields the representative power must do if for tlie g «>d or ili of all— perhaps not precisely in tlie same degree, but he cannot use it as largely to benefit one class without, to some extent, benefiting ail. or to injure and oppress one class without, toagrea- er or ic 0 s extent, injuring and oppressing all. Jing disura.ee—a foul blot upon the names <-.l those wim committed it. 5Vli.it! cut dow n thc American flag—that glorious emblem of liber ty. and that, too, over the building of men who braved the dangers of the battle-field to uphold and defend it. and who loved to sing— “And the star-spangled banner, Oh long may it wave, O'er the land of the free And the home of tiie brave!” The 3d section of the proposed amen lmer’ disfranchises the great majority of the e-lu -ate ' men of the States which have been in rehelli.m, and excludes them from any parficipatmn in the affairs of the 8tate and federal G< v, la ments. Tlie entire control ot tiie Governments of these Suites will be placed in the hands of a meagre minority of the men m t at all qualified for such control : and they, as general thing, not of the most intelligent and capable classes. No such sweeping and indiscriminate proscrip tion is remembered since the days of Philip II- of Spain. It is not t-> be expected that in lin age and country, and with our race, a maj rity ot the eduucated men of ten States will long submit to be excluded from allshare in making and administering the laws by which their lives, liberty and property are to be judged, without the constant presence and pressure of a force adequate to coerce obedience. The ad- doption of this amendment will involve the necessity of maintaining an army to enforce it. widen of itself will lie dangerous to liberty, and add greatly to the burdens of taxation, al- ' ready grievous. 1 can see no good to result from the proposed ! aniinendmendments. I can see much evil IUV ,„ .ushed forward, the j modesty, exemplary piety, fine sense of justice two remaining policemen, with a few friends ! and propriety, and the exercise of a rigid nu- wiio had rushed to their assistance, making partiality m all the relations ot life. £l lie is not a creature ot impulse—not an extremest—but conservative and charitable in ail tilings—in religion, in politics and in his various social relations. As Mayor of Rome, Justice of tlie Inferior Court, and Delegate to the State Convention, which adopted our pre sent Constitution, all his official acts were marked by these characteristics. “ In addition to ail this, he is emphatically a self-made man—sprung from the humblest ided by poverty, he id industry of his boyhood and early manhood to the scanty support of hirnself ami aged parents, to whom he has clung and supported with filial devo tion, throug'ii all the vicisitudes of adverse fortune. At the age of 17 he came to Rome, •a poor, obscure,uneducated and penniless boy, and failing to get better employment, he en tered as a common laborer in a brick yard at S7 or $8 per month. He afterwards served an apprenticeship of twelve months at type setting. in the office of the Coosa River Journal. “His indomitable energy, quiet, unobtrusive manner, and close attention to business, had commended him by this time to one of our wealthy, influential citizen’s—Col. Shortei — who employed him, at a small salary, to at tend his toll-bridge across tiie Etowah river— a position which he occupied for four or five years—his salary being greatly increased, which enabled him to buy a few books. It was here in this obscure, humble position he constituted himself his own school-teacher, tnd laid the foundation of an honorable and useful manhood- Commencing with the low- . est elemenatry studies, he mastered almost rican Hag. V. hat was /reason tnen seems ; unaided, the various branches of our English * loyalty now.
