At Hie earnest solicitation of numerous friends and Acquaintances, he has consen ted to become an independent candidate , for 'Representative in the State Lcgitda tu re from the county of Brooks, and as he v<*rv truthfully remarks, it,is unnneo essary f»*r him to parade before the pub lie testimonial ,of (Jutracbo* and qualifi i cation.

Tl»c HiooUH( ouj»tyMee(in«-\oiii i illations U will he remernhered, that a call was j published, two weeks ago, for the as sembling of a mass meeting at Quitman, j at I 1 o’clock on Monday, the 6th inst., for tin? purpose of organizing a Demo cratic Flub, and “considering the proj/rito t\f ” of nominating candidates for the va rions county offices. Consequently, on Monday last a few citizens from the country visited our town, and Cloven o’clock arriving, it was concluded “(on tin.* streets) not to hold Said meeting ; hut at 2 o’clock, p. rn. ('for cause hunrn to the writer,) the mat ter was reconsidered, and the meeting held. About fiby good and true citizens wi re •n attendance, who organized a Demo ciutic 01 uh, appointed Central and Dis trict Committees for 'active campaign work, ami every tiling thus far, passed oil’ pleasant and harmoniously. At this stage of the proceedings, it was pr posed to g" into a nomination for candidates for county officers. ’Hie movement was stren uously opposed, for sotftid and sufficient rouHoius reasons, thi* day t approved by sevemeigth of the citizens present ; lujJ a nomination had been determined upon, and the motion prevailed. A committee of ten was appointed to retire, and report to the meeting proper candidates. The labor was promptly performed, and a long list submitted, (which we would publish with pleasure had the Secretary furnished the same.) During tin? interim between the report of the committee, Judge Jamkh 11. Hu.v ' iku delivered a very excellent and Tftrj eal address, which was bri< tig rcsponit-n to by ('apt S. \Y,ylhi4s; A y . Now come# tho interesting point in the entire proceeding*. The *question was called—which was'that the report oT be adopted, and the gentlemen named fB oehiimed the tyndidatim upon whom the people should eonfoi their suf frage and it iras carried . Wo counted l eads, and there were only fourteJh a dtdts in the house : three of whom were opposed t»» theAprinciplcs enunciated by 4h«*me%siV, and three or four others v*p posed nomination. . r l y s luivarnished tale, and publish it with many regrets. We , l^lievc # Momb»y’s proceedings will have \ a suicidal cfl\*<*t upon the lost interests ( r :of ilie county, and tend to turmoil ami |jM|Pasi<>n. .Those who opposed a nomi pmtion, done so from the purest con vie j t jons ol duty tin v believed that it was for the best • interests of the party and county, ami would most eCYctuaily rob the opposition of all cause for organiz ing systematic and determined warfare j our own white race It' they erred, it was of the head and not the heart ; and if mercenary, selfish, or fac tious motives arc attributed to them, for one, we have no hesiteney in branding all such accusations as false. •The candidates nominated by the com milteOof ten, are men of character- tine i * the i (crests of Oho country, and m> doubt would make capable officials ; but the people were opposed t<» a nomination, and it being made in defiance of tl <4. <*xprcF.s protest, we t:' iiuor-dct at.

W. Cuit, an ignorant and presump tions individual, ostensibly hailing from Savannah, bat originally from some out of the way place on the outskirts of civil ization. This individual has the pres umption to come before the people of the First Congress ions 1 District of Georgia, and ask of them the position as their Representative in Congress. It is d<*ci dodlv a ridiculous pieco of effrftrrtfy.—l Unknown, devoid of character, without any claim upon the soil, and totally uni dentified with the masses, his only hope for success, is a peculiar knack he pos senses of imposing upon the ignorant col Tired people. And, with this design in view he is now engaged in a concuss of the District. He induces the colored people to meet him in retired places af ter dark, and unfolds to them his plans: of course they are yery favorable to the poor negre, and they jump at the enticing bait and think the “white negro” the ex ■ act man to elect to Congress. One night last week this “carpet bag gcr visited Quitman, and l»y preconoer trd arrangements, a large number of dark skins met him in the colored church over the railroad—to whom he. arrau gued in his usual bombastic, lying style, for some time. Os course the ears of many of tno ignorant were tickled, hut quite a number of the more intelligent of his iiiidiama; sa w through the flimsy serene, and hooted at tiis pretensions and promises. What stronger argument is ncccnsary to demqitetrate tin? duplicity of this man and the impos'd ion he practices, than the fact that he is afraid to stand up, like a man, in tin* light if day, and ft. ilessiy meet his opponents in fair and honora ble argument ! Nona of the carpet, bag adventurers will do this, from the fact that in such a contest their ignorance and inconsistency would bo so glaring ly exposed, that even the m-g o s would I unite in defeating there, as impostors, and ■ enemies of the entire human race. The idea of such a man as Clift as piring to a seat in Congress ! It is a musing ! It is preposterous and mi in suit to decency aud common sense. He is more, infamous than the seducer, Aaron Alpeora Bradley, who was expelled by his brother Radicals from the Atlanta Convention ; he is iivt respected nor tol erated by even the meanest colored men in Savannah ; and totally unworthy of confidence and support. We do not believe the intelligent col ored iirou of Brooks will support, for the high and honorable position of Repre sentative in Congress, so vile, dirty and disreputable a character. It is to their interest that a moral, big!Voned, iutelli ;oit g< nlleman a man above reproach, and one whom the dignitaries of tire land can respect, be sent to the hall of nation al legislation with the ability to advance the interests of the whites and blacks a like. » Such a man is IJkxry S. Fitch ; he will not stoop to the low cunning and contemptible work of ■adventurers, and holds himself above reproach. Contrast him with the cringing sycophant, Oust, and if you have a spark of judgment and common sense, your choice for Congress* man will fall upon the fbrnier. < ’oiu»(y*C 'tin(li<lnt< k s.

We were satisfied from the beginning that the withdrawal of Judge Reese was a great blunder. We acquiesced in the decision of our friends, because wo - did not like to appear captious in our views, and because we were aatislh-d that Judge Reese was besides, withdrawn, in time to give our Iriends throughout tin* State ample opportunity to be fully advised in relation to the change. Now we have not the requisite lime, and it will l»e im possible f<«r our people to concentrate upon Gordon or any other candidate. In this view of our dangers and ditli cullies, we earnestly f>eg Gen.

Let us show' that we are not only Democrats in name, but let our actions show that we are worthy of the name and association of thus# noble spirits at the North who are battling there with the cohorts of Radicalism for ; our rights aud the proservatioa of our honor. j Let us nail the tulme of Irwin to our j masthead, and if go down wo must, let | it be with our colors floating on the | breeze.

But the no* de plume ccrt.iiuly uad no | hearing upon the suggestion made; and j therefore I conclude that your correa- i i jyindent falsifies his non de plume “J?s- | tick/’ by aUemjttinj to make it appear | | that “You Bkt” had imported Yankee ! phraKffs uj»d elites tabled po j litU;a! and p#r#ovia! 4u*sign«. Such “di s j tivk’’ is a mockery ami will rrlWt ftfily i ./ii it« autlior. Again, the insinuation that ’‘YomlfKT” j is an ofliee seeker, and desires a portion j of the spoils thereof, in f ppftied as untrue wjlht ut foundation ; and I appeal this new lAngJed rcpfeKCrttatlvc of “Juk tice,” and challenge him to answer t(Uth fnlly and candidly, if he is not a seeker after official f>*sUion 7 —is he not reach ing after the loaves and fishes, the glitter | and spoils of office ? Politic#! wire pilling, log roßiag and grasping after pfiwer, is generally dohe uudtfr the garb <>f “Patriotism,* “Truth” or JeVnifl.. Tlie sensible portion of the pe« pje, how ever, have learned i ate behind the serene, and now tlie lengthy appeals of “Justice,” ctcT,. as nothing more nor less than a cringing petition | for office. But enough. If ymur correspondent “Justice/’ had n if, by *nniWMX?«, question ed the motives and honest designs <y “You Bf.t,” this correspondence won Iff* never have descended from a political and assumed a personal character. Now, sir, for a few brief facts: “.b s* tick” claim* that very near all ;he, Uouii ty officers elected in Brooks, have been gentlemen resident of the country. I leave the people to decide as to ib*j cor redness of the,gentleman’s assertion, af ter reading the following named offi- - i,* at present in power : Mr. 1). U. McNeil, Slk-riff. Mr. Win. Iludsou, Clerk of Court U: t Jno. G McCall, Ordinary. Mr. T. Avera, Tax Assessor. Judr.n Culpepper, Inferior Court. Judge CYeoch, Interior Cou t. Judge Edmondson, Inferior Court. Judge Hunter, County Quirt. Col. W. A. Lane, County Solicitor. 11. F, Mubbett, Justice Feuce. Suin’l L Moore, Coroner. Tho intelligent reader# <>f the Banxih are acquainted with the foregoing offi cers, and know when they live ; they are all recognized a- vdut'iis of Quit math. 4n conclusion : no doubt the patriot ism and desire for unanimity of senti ment, as expressed by “Justice,” is sin cere. At least I award to him that merit ; but he blunders outrageously in suppos ing that all who are outside his "clique /’ are devoid of patriotism, selfish ii pur pose, and inimical to Imtli, justice ol* I merit.
