Tire Trnilciir.r of tire Government
to a Centralized Deipotlun.
Tlio roul issue to lie decided by the
American people in the Presidential con
tent of 1812, is the tendency of the party
nt present in power, to convert the con
stitutional government of oar fathers to
a Centralized Despotism. Other ques
tions will be presented, but they will
have but little weight ill comparison
with this great issue. It must be the
controlling element in the campaign to
Influence the decision of thoughtful men.
And under this condition of political af
fairs, it is a matter for regret, that the
Democratic press of the Fouth, and es
pecially of Georgia (under the assumed
leadership ol Hon. Alex. 11. Stephens,)
should hare engaged, at tlii» time, in a
war of wolds with reference to tho jsjlie.y
Involved in what is designated tho “new
departure.” So fir ns vital principle*
arc concerned, the Democracy arc a unite
—they are as I rue as the necdlo to the
polo to fundamental principles; and tho
existing estrangement is consequent
solely upon a lino of policy merely siuj
gested by a portion of tlio Northern De
mocracy. It,is trno wo condemn tlio
policy embraced iu tlio "new departure”
platform; but a dignified piotesf, in our
humble judgment, is all that was requir
ed of the Southern Democracy. Over
z-aloes, impulsive politicians, In wcver,
have given unnecessary and unreasona
ble latitude to its discussion; they have
indulged in hitter invective of men whose
Democracy and patriotism huvo been
tried iu the crucible of time; but, it is to
bo honed, this unintentional imprudence
will not result in serious disaster.
Instead of encouraging disaffection
among tlie rank and tile of the Democra -
cy, it should l>e the province of the press,
to endeavor, 1 y all honorable means, to
allay dissension, and strengthen the lines
of the only ri imdoing constitutional par
ty in this country. For it must he con
ceded, that if the Democracy is defeated
in the Presidential campaign of next
year, the last vestago of liberty will be
buried, and the voxpopuli never again
be regarded in the council of tho gov
ernment. The intellect roust bir blight
ed, that cannot pemcivc, that the success
of Radicalism in 1812, will be the over
throw of a representative, and organiza
tion of a despotic government. Tim dis
tance is nol great from a quasi conooli
dutid government lo a despotism.
Jeffuism tittorcd no idle prophecy
when be expressed himself on Ibis sub
ject: ‘lf this country is brought under
u single government,” lie said, “it will
be one of tho most extensive corruption,
indifferent and incapable of a wholesome
care over so wide spread a sufface. This
will not bo borne, and you will have to
choose between reformation and revolu
tion. II I know the spirit of the country,
the one or the other is inevitable. Be
fore the canker lias become inveterate,
before the venom has reached so much of
the body politic as to get beyond con
trol, tlio ri moily should be applied.”
It is trno the Washington government
irtill pretends to conform to tho pi ilfhi
ples of tho constitution, but its acts are
those of a consolidated government: vide
the Ku Klux act, and other obnoxious
statutes. Therefore the prophecy of
Jefferson is literally fulfilled; and the
people in 1812 jmust “choose between
reformation and revolution.” Consequent
ly, the great necessity lor harmony and
concord among those who arc opposed
to a subversion of the government.
* Revolution” may be dosired by hot
spurs; but tlio masses, and especially
those who so recently passed through a
baptism of blood, prefer a peaceful “ic
fot oration” of the political states of the
government.
The Democratic party, as well by its
past history, as by its present do.
duration, is committed to a rigid inter
pretation of the Constitution. Its record
is antagonistic to the assumption of un
warranted and il'egal power. It should
call upon all men, irrespective of past
party affiliation, to aid iu arresting from
unscrupulous rulers, tho trust which
they have so shamefully abused. Hie
question of tho reformation of the gov
ernment, in tho approaching campaign,
cannot be regarded as a political ab
straction, or as mcro party clamor.—
The masses should bo educated in a sense
of the responsibility which weighs upon
them as citizens. Whatever may have
been a man’s view in the past, it is now
for him to decide whether lie will favor a
limited or an absolute government;
whether he will support Hie eentralizi
tion or localization of its powers In
this issue the Democratic party has but
onerccord, and can have but cue course:
that of devotion to local government, and
to the limitation of the powers of the
Federal government.
Umfar th's view of the groat nation
al issue to be d.tcrtaiucd in 1872, it is
surprising, to many of tho friends and
admirers o( Georgia’s great and well
beloved statesman, that he should ignore
tho rital importance of unity of fooling
audjsciiDrncnt, and condescend to bandy
words with lilipntian politicians, whoso
lately doffed the filthy and demoralizing
gnrb of radicalism. Tlio masses of the
Democracy have very littlo reguril for
tho policy involved in the "new d< part
nre.” It is a secondary consideration,
and cannot affect tho main question—
which is the perpetuity of Constitutional
liberty.
The Hfatc Agricultural Conven
tion.
The Georgia Agricultural Convention,
which assembled nt Rome, onjilic Bth insl
continued in session lour days, adjourn
ing on last Friday evening. Upwards
of five hundred delegates, from ail parts
of the State, wire in attendance—
Brooks being ably represented by Cupl
J 11. Hunter. Tbc proceedings were
highly interesting, and no doubt will
prove profitable lo the planting inter
est.
A special correspondent of tlio Atlan
ta New Kra, furnished a very interesting
account of the four day's proceedings;
from which wo learn that on Thursday
the leading topic of discussion was the
disposition to be made of tfic Congress
ional land grant to an Agricultural Col
lege*. Ex-Gov. Brown made a masterly
argument iu favor of giving tho whole
donation to the State University at Ath
ens. It was ono of that gentleman’s
best efforts, and elicited commendation
from all. The advocates of Millcdgeviile
and Duh nega were zealous in advocacy
of tiiat place for tho location of tho Agri
cultural College; but finally tho whole
subject was referred to the Executive
Committee, to report at the next mcct
irg
On Friday, the question of inclosing
stock elicited considerable discussion—
the delegations from Upper Georgia fav
oring a law to such effect; but Southern
Georgia being b itierly opposed to the
policy, the whole sulject was indcfinale*
iy postponed.
On this day a resolution was adopted
asking the Legislature to cause tho tax
digest to be amended, so as to show a
detailed statement of the average of pro
ducts planted, and amount of fertilizers
used.
Ex-Chief Justice Dupont, of Florida,
addressed the Convention on the subject
of Immigration; and his efforts in that
direction were seconded by other gentle
men.
The Convention decided lo meet again
on the 23d ol October at Macon.
From the reports read before the Con
vention, from the various counties,' the
following facts wire elicited: Tlio cot
ton crop, of tlio present season, will net
exceed five-eighths of that ot last year;
the corn crop is about the san;e; more
sugar cane will l>o raised than last year; 1
only one fourth of cun mere ial f,utilizers
have been used the present year, as corn
paired with last; more attention is shown
to tlio improves out if sti ck , provisions
and home-made fertilizers.
There is a report going the rounds off
our Stale cxel angos, that J. VV. O’Neal, i
the scalawag Judge, so-called, of tho Al
aplrnha circuit, has recently deceased
from wounds received in a sorbs of and s
perate encounters with Vfilliam J’.itter

We learn that Judge O’Neal did not
die, and that lie lias recovered bom his
“series of desperate crcounteis.” But
will our brother of the Telegraph, please!

aforesaid "William Patterson” is. We j
have heard of “Billy Patterson” who was
“struck” on a certain occasion by parties
unknown;, and we would like to learn
whether tlio Judge ol tlio Alapaha has
had an encounter with the cousin of the
aforesaid “Billy.”
Dead Before Battue. —The Springfield
Republican, the leading Radical organ iu
New England, colics the words of Wen
dell Phillips, that “the Radical party is
dead." Listen to it:
The Republican party is marching to
a Big Bethel defeat. Too many Butlers,
too many Sitnon Camerons, too many
Morton* and Chandlers, too much steal
ing and land grabbing have kill'd it.
It is dead before it goes iuto battle.

night last, at his residence in that coun
ty, by a man named A. 0. Devcreaux.
The murderer escaped.
A State Bankrupt. —The Raleigh Sen
tinel, commenting upon the condition of
North Carolina, says she cannot pay
out. The interest on tho debt is sl,-
200,000 annually—current expenses of
State Government SBOO,OOO, and the

Amiens, <m the Creation es .Man
and the Conseqneiicaa of the al
iened Fat!.
In tho vast routine of creation, or, in
the catalogue of created things, we
find man created in the iirageor
likeness of God, male ni.d female: Gen
; , 27—“ So God created man in Ids own
image—in the image of God created he
him, male and female created he them.”
“And God l Ussed them, and said unto;
them, he fruitful and multiply, a id re- ;
I plentsb the earth and subdue it; and j
have dominion over the fish of Hie sea,
and over the fowls of the air, and over
every living thing that niovelh npon the
face of tho earth. And of every herb,
anil of every fr c that bearelh fruit, G and
gave to them for food. And to every
living creature God gave the same for
foo l. Oon. 1,28, 29 30.
Notwithstanding man had been crea
ted, and endowed with all the rights and
privileges above stated, yet there was
not a man tu till the earth: Gen. ; i, 5.
And the sixth division if time had
elapsed, and the seventh division God
had blessed, and appropriated to rest
from all his work, which lie had created
and made. The scriptures do not sus
tain the assertion, that creation was
finished, and that all things were then
created, but by implication conveys tho
converse of tho assertion: for on the
seventh he ended his work, which he
Irnil made, and rested on the seventh
from all his work, which he had made.
Why not end the sentence with "all his
work", if the gtand system ot creation
hadendid? Why add, "which he had
made’ ? 11 there is nothing else to do,
the sentence is c mpletc without it. It
simp ym< ana a suspension and rest
from what lie had already done. Read
Gen ii, 2,3, earel .lly.
During the six days, and until after
the seventh, it had not i ained upon the
cmtii. But there went up a mist and
watered ti e whole face of tho eaitli.
“And the Lord G"d formed man of the
dust of the ground, and lireallnd into
his nostrils the breath of life, arid lie
became a living soul.”
Now, we have a tiller of the ground,
for God planted a garden, and comman
ded him to keep and dress it. No such
Command to tlie first; the former was
unrestrained; no work to do, with ali
the privileges of the beast, unlimited iu
his rights to all the fruits. The hitter
restrained in some degree of his liberty,
and c mmandod to keep and dress the
garden, (by himself remember) anil up
on the penalty of immediate death, com
manded not to partake of the fruit ol
the tree of tho knowledge of good and
evil. This command was not given by
God to the woman, for she was not yet
made. Adam was keeping tho garden
when God said “it is not good for man
to be a’one;’’ and from one of Adam’s
ribs the woman was made—Gen.ii, 22.
Now, Adam evidently instructed the
woman in reference to the command, for
she does not quote it as God gave it to
Adam. She is instructed, doubtless, by
Adam, that she is nm only lo abslain
from tho fruit, but that she must not
oven touch tie tree, lest she die: Gen.
iii, 3. In Gen. i, 27, we have man,
male and female, created (from nothing,)
in the image of God: Gen. ii, 7, we have
a man foray and of the dust; and in the 22,
ja wi man made of his rib. And in Gen
v., 1, we find that in the day that God
created man in his own image, lie also
made Ad tm. Read tho verse: “This is
the book of the generations of Adam.
In the day that G"d created man, in the
likeness of God, made he him.” Made
who? Adam. He created man—he
made Adam, anil breathed into his nos
trils the breath of 1 so and lie became a
living soul, and God blessed them and
called their name, Adam; not man. So j
the Adam, male and female, of the ii, iii. i
iv, v chapters) is not the man, male and !
female, of the Ist chapter, 27th verse, j
To the first there was no command, but
unrestrained and unlimited permission
(to wit,) the freedom ot the f wla of*Hie !
air. To the second, there was a com ■
maml and-obedience required—a limit j
to his privileges prescribed, and a pen- j
alty fixed for transcending it. That 1
penalty, us slated hi the first article, 1
has been and is now doubtless misun
derstood.
And this brings ns to the
good and evil, growing out of the sanl
to he fall of man.
What would have been the mental j
condition of man if he had nol done as
the serpent advised? Woo'd ho have
been happy? Ooi'ain'y not; for it is
knowing right and wrong, and doing
the right that makes us happy. Adam
hud no such powers of discrimination,
and could not realize a benefit growing
out of u knowledge that he did not pos
sess. It is the knowledge of good and
evil in our minds and doing good, know- i
ingly, that brings peace and pleasure
to the couscii nee. Adam did not know
good and evil, and of coarse could noli
suffer from the one or enjoy the other,
until the eyes of his understanding were
opened; and that had to be proceeded by
the very act (or which ho was to die,
and for which theologians say ho diii
die. But tho scripture by which they
propose to prove that he died, proves
that he became as God, knowing good
and evil.
Up to this period of man’s life no sin
had been committed; not that the con
stituent elements 'it evil did not exist in
the universe—not that nan Could not
do an evil act, but Could not sin, b -
j cause he did not know or understand
! the coiss'-quences of the act; and infinite
j justice would not impute sin when the
i law was not understood. Man, it is
j said, is the author of sin, but this as
i sertiou cannot stand the tost of argu
ment, for tlio principle of evil existed
commensurate with the principle et
good. Is man tho author of good? If
! not, why not?. lie became possessed of
a knowledge of both princples at tho
| same time, and if learning or discover
ing their existence makes him tho au
j tho: - of one, wl-y not both? Principles
, are etema’ things; their existence may
jbe discovered, but never invented. The
principle of leverage, by the applies

Adam was not tbo author of evil bat the
discoverer of ils existence. 'Hint tr od
and evil botli existed is cieuily estab-
lished by the declaration of God: “Be
hold the man lias become ns one of ns,
knowing good and evil.” So the only
way for man lobe like God, was to ob
tain wisdom; the only method of obtain
ing wisdom was by the discovery of the
existence of good and evil; and the only
way by which the discovery conld be
made, was that suggested by the ser

the seeds of knowledge; his body was
framed by omnipotent bands, and made
a temporary tenement for an imparta

as the spirit tiiat God gave it, an eternal

from the breath of Deity. And now wc
come to the first sin ot record of our

Foreign Immigration of Labor.
Mk. F. R. Fii.dss:— ln your issue of
the 4th inst., ••Plaster’’ denounces the
policy of Sweedisb, or any other foreign
immigration scheme. From the ten r
of his article, 1 hardly think he compre
hends the situation fully. lie dodges
the issue mode in my ciimmiinicalinn of
the 14th, and flies off into a moral lect
ure to a certain class of our population.
I will concede, for the sake of argu
ment, as well as from principle, that
the Southern people would be largely
benefited, could the class inveighed
against by ‘'Planter,” bo indiici.il to
abandon their thriftless, indolent life,
and come up—square up—to the rule
laid down by him Even then we would
need immigration; even then there would
be ample room for enterprise and indus
try. Let all the idlers, profess! na! i
men, mechanics and merchants, go out!
and till the soil, and Brooks county;
woidd have ample room for numbers i I
honest, industrious and energetic im ■ j
migrants; and their coming won'd in no ]
wise, in my humble opinion, woik injury
to the people of the county. But, Mr.
Editor, 1 will venture the assertion, that
“Plauler,” nor any one else, ever saw
fewer "drones in the hive” than we have
in this county;and 1 challenge the com
parison of our “Sonny South” with any
spot on tho habitable globe—puritanic
New England i ot excepted.
Sill I concede there is room for im
provement even here, and would wil
-and gladly put my shoulder to
the wheel, to assist in this reform. And
wlien that is consummated—when the
whole population are engaged in some
laudable vocation; when idlers and
loafers, as a class, ure passed away,
and the ranks ot those who till the soil
increased by that number, still w t need
immigrants of the right sort. W’e need
them to engender a higher appreciation
of our own s ction among ourselves;
f r it is a well settled paineiple, that
demand a; predates property, and that
as property increase* in value, it draws
to it the “cream ol the country.” -Also,
tiiat in proportion as worth congregates, I
vice disappears. We have in Brooks j
county about 4S acres of land to each ;
white inhabitant. About one-fifth of
this number, say 1400, are males; two-i
tliiuls of tin's last number, sty 900, are
farmers, making at least 360 acres to'
each farmer—more than ho can possi
bly tend. The negroes ure daily grow
ing move idle and worthless, as labor
ers. Our lands arc depreciating in
value, because of the uncertainty and j
inefficiency of the laboring class, (1 !
mean the colored people); and vve most
do something to turn the tide, that is;
about to overwhelm us. To do this,
there must be a general “moving of the
spirit’’ of cutei pi is°. The tone of our
people must be elevated to a higher and
nobler pilch. An increased demand fi r
our lands woo’d make them more vai- j
liable to their owners, and increase the
confidence of the people in tire stability .
and security of their investments. lam '
confident that ‘Tlanter'’ himself would ;
not put bis money into anything when it j
would be dead capital; because, if lie ; s

us, when driven to j art with our . pos
sessions, but would leel unkindly to the
whole world, if compcled to sie pur

Again, we nerd immigration to us

to a fixed standard; and that standard

A Blcody Trasc-dy.
The Savannah fiepuUican of Saturday,
gives an account of a mister ions trage
dy, which occurred at the bouse of Mr.
Jos. Davis, ol Bullock county, on the
Wednesday previous:
“About 3 o’clock Wednesday morning
the iiimafi 8 of Mr. Davis’ house were a
lartned by tho loud screams of his wife
(Mu Davis). H i sister ran to the room
and found Mrs. Davis sitting cm tho b. and.
“1 am bleeding to do ith, run out and
cal! some of tbe neighbors,’ after which
she sank down nil the bed a lifeless
!c rpsc. On examination it was found
[ that someone had cut her 41. r. a*, and
; from the nature <4 the wound it is
thought that it was inflicted with a pock
et knife, which was aftei wards found in
a tub of water in the yard. At the time
that the wound was inflicted Mrs Davis
was sleeping in her bed with her two
little children. Her husband was off
froni'home on a fishing frolic, and the sad
news of tin's tragedy was as startling
as it was unexpected. No one can ac
count for the diabolicaloutrage, nor can
it be even surmised who was the cow
ardly perpetrator of damnable crime, the
performance of which should have made
the very worst fiend blush lor shame.”
