THE CENTRlL GEORGIAN.
For the Central Georgian.
To tlie Hon. Alexander II. Ste
phens.
Sir .-—Having shown that the last Res
olution of the Convention of “Republican
ciliz’ens” is nothing more than a sophism,
and that Mr. Jenkins, in his commendable
endeavors to make "sense of it, has unhing
ed his party, and suffered himself to be
placed in a false position, I desire to' make
a few remarks upon one other Resolution,
or that part of it, which censures the Na
tional Whig party. It reads as follows :—
“Resolved, That in the opinion of this
Convention, both the Whig and Democrat
ic parties of the United States have been
faithless to their oft repeated pledges of
economy in the expenditure of the public
money, &c.”
I have italisized the word “opinion,” as
it it unusual for bodies of that character to
deal in opinions. The expression may
have a meaning, and it may not. It may
have been intended to assert a fact, and
may have been intended to express only an
“opinion.” In either case, however, I have
no hesitancy in pronouncing it an error, so
far as it relates to the National Whig party.
The Democratic party, I believe, fully mer
its the censure of the “opinion.” For while
Mr. Toombs was advising the Union party
of this State last year, to support the Dem
ocratic nominee for the Presidency, the
Democrats were violating, right under his
nose, two of the pledges in their National
Platform, viz :—Internal Improvements,
and Economy. They might therefore, very
well be censured on that ground.
But I take the liberty to say it is an un
just censure of the National Whig party.
And I challenge you, or the Hon. Robt.
Toombs, or any other man in Georgia, to
point out clearly, a single instance in which
the National Whig party has violated any
pledge, ever made to the people of the Uni
ted States. If men pretend todeal in facts,
they should have capital.—IiFtkis “opin
ion,” is true, let it be skown--if it is false,
lei it go as an “opinion” of Mr. Toombs,
and*not of the Convention. Unmeaning
generalities are better calculated to mislead
the mind than to convey truth. And when
str charge of this kind is made, it would be
well to specify some of the “oft repeated”
violations of pledges, for the benefit of the
sceptical. For I confess to you frankly, that
I am not so over ready, as some people 1
have seen, to take the bare ‘ opinion” of men
who make politics their trade—-as the stan
dard of all truth and right. T would not
take your’s sir. And can you blame me ?
The Whig party have not been in a ma
jority in Congress since 1842, and therefore,
cannot bo properly chargeable for the gov
ernment expenditures. The preceding Dem
ocratic, Administration under Mr. Van Bu-
ren, left the government bankrupt forty-
three millions ; besides squandering and
forty millions that were left surplus
by Jackson. The Whig party, to its
eternat honor, redeemed the credit of the
government, and established the most equi
table and just Tariff that has ever been laid
Ihe Democratic party violated grossly tLeir
pledges, in regard to that, in 1846. And
I think it would be very difficult for you to
shoiv a Democratic National platform that
that party has never violated. And yet,
Mr. Toombs professed to have great confi
dence in its pledges last year. We now see
how fallacious they were. I considered his
professions with some allowance then ; and
I shall continue to do so for the future.
And just here, let ine call your attention
to a discrepancy, as I conceive it to be, be
tween Mr. Toombs’ professions and vour
facts. Mr. Toombs is said to have declared
two years ago, “that all old issues between
the Y\ hig and Democratic parties were ob
solete.” And yet, in the Address to the
people of Georgia (of which I take you to
be the author,) you complain that by our
present lariff, the people of Georgia pav a
tax to the government of between 1500,
and.2,000 dollars per mile, on Rail Road
Iron. Mr. Toombs and yourself, having
concluded to let your constituents continue
to pay this tax, the issue consequently be
tween the Whigs and Democrats in the
premises, had become “obsolete.”—Vetily,
so far as yourself and the Honorable Sena
tor is concerned, it would really appear so.
But to return to the Resolution of cen
sure. From the best evidence before me,
as an honest and true Whig, I feel authoriz
ed to pronounce that “opinion,” as false :
arid if in tended for an assertion of & fact—a
falsehood. And I say further—and I sav
ir with regret, that Mr. Toombs, Mr. Jenk-
IdRs, and yourself, are three of the last men
in Georgia I could have believed would
have given countenance to so unjust, and
at the same time, so unnecessary, a censure
of the Whig party. And mark me, sir,
it will not soon be forgotten.
And although that party has ceased to
exist in Georgia, yet i will defend its prin
ciples to the last, against Democrat or ren-
egade, high or low. And if I never live to
do baltje again under its broad orriflamme,
if never live to see it another time triumph
ant, its great national principles, expressing
always true American feelings, its noble
acts, its high morality, and the memory of
tbs illustrious wra who, gloried in its
name, and who have given character to the
statemanship of our country, will ever re
ceive the aspirations of my heart’s waiwnest
devotion ' . I will never say it has violated
good faith.
Upon a careful perusal of the Address to
the people of Georgia, above referred to, I
cannot resist the desire of expressing to
yon some ideas that occurred to me while
so doing. The ?*cts and doings of Mr.
Pierce seems to meet your general disap
proval ; and there is to my mind, a shade
of disappointment and of offended pride,
pervading the whole Address, which gives
it the ciste of complaint. This is rather
lowering your dignity as as talesman; and
comes with a 1 very bad grace from you, con
sidering how largely be was aided in his
ecletion to the Presidency, by the indirect
efforts of yourself and Mr. Toombs. By your
defection, 35,000 men cast the vote of Geor
gia for him. Had yqu have acted in good
faith to the Whig party, that disgrace might
have been saved the State, and your pres
ent complaints of Mr. Pierce have had some
shadow of decency. This time, twelve
months ago, you had nothing against Mr.
Pierce, and would believe nothing against
him—nor nothing in favor of Gen.lScott.
And if newspaper reports are to be credited
you even went so far as to say that Mr.
Pierce “stumped” New Hampshire, while
you did the same in Georgia, for the Com
promise. On that point, however, I con
fess I have never been fully satisfied. At
any rate, sir, I think you, Mr. Toombs, and
Mr. Jenkins, are fully chargeable for a share
of all Mr. Pierce’s misdoings—Freesoil ap
pointments and all. Why should you com
plain ?
Let me put the matter to you in a plain
way. Suppose the Scott Whigs by their
lukewarmness towards Mr. Jenkins, and
their refusal to support 1 him, Mr. Johnson
should be elected; (which I think at this
lime very possible,) and a year hence thev
should come to you with their denuncia
tions and complaints against Mr. Johnson
tor some bad acts ; would you not be in
clined to look upon such complaints as a
contemptible piece of nonsense; and be
induced to tell them plainly that they were
to blame for it? that if they had come up
to your help, he would not probably have
been elected Governor ? I think you would
be likely to do this, and you would do right.
So sir, you need not be surprised at all,
if a great many honest Scott men should
egard your attempt to rally them against
Mr. Pierce at this time, in a contemptible
light; and as a very lame affair, at best.
They are perfectly willing to let you fight
your own battle. I am, lean assure you.
Another point, which you seemed to put
much stress upon, I could not help noticing.
You hold up as au objection to voting for
Mr. Johnson, and probably very justly, Lhe
tact that the Democratic party in Georgia
might be called upon to support the Pacific
Rail Road scheme. But you either over
looked another fact, or did not think proper
to mention it, that Mr. Buchannan, whom
Mr. Toombs once seemed to favor for the
Presidency, advocates that scheme.
But the greatest exposure to which you
laid yourself open, and one positively as
tonishing in a politician.of your astuten ss,
is the argument you lay hold of to prevent
true Democrats from voting for Mr. John
son. Y ou tell them he quitted the Demo
cratic party two years ago ! Yet vousee
he has returned to it again. Did it not occur
to you that National Whigs might take
the reasoning to themselves, in regard to
yourself and Mr. Jenkins ? You quit the
Whig party two years ago, and have not
returned yet—and I cannot tell now when
you will do it. And what is worse, you
have succeeded in wheedling off Mr. Jenk
ins also. So you will perceive, you are as
deep in the mud as Mr. Johnson is in the
mire, if not a little more so. “Some of the
Republican citizens,” however, tell me they
are all to be good Whigs again;'as soon as
as they can get the Union Democrats
firmly welded on to them. But I tell them
sir, that they have very limited ideas of
what Mr. Toombs and Mr. Stephens have
in store for them. “Eye hath not seen, nor
ear heard it yet.” Their wanderings have
but just commenced—their mission for the
‘‘moral, social, und intellectual improve
ment of the people of Georgia,” is but just
set out. If they will stick to vou, I wiil
warrant you to lead them as wandering and
vagrant a political life, as their hearts could
wish. Often too, where they will get “well
peppered,” like Sir John Falstaff’s ragga-
uiuffins. And I have no doubt they will
be led by you, as long as you can keep pos
session of Mr. Jenkins, as a sort of Ark of
the Covenant.
Sir, you have chosen your own ground
upon which you are giving battle. But
you have chosen it unskilfully. In addi
tion to that, you have marshalled your
forces with little regard to feelings or affec
tions, and have evidently given high pre
ference to the mercenary troops, over your
old and long tried friends to whom you now
appear disposed to turn a cold shoulder. 1
prophesy for the “Republican citizens” a
defeat. And I am free to confess I shall
not feel mortified at it The proscriptive
policy so early apparent among your par-
tizans-, at a time when they should have
better understood their dependence, augu
red no good to those who dared to oppose
the folly of the Tertium Quids. It spoke
in language plain enough to my under
standing, that they would sooner risk de
feat, than give Scott men an honorable po
sition. And defeat, you are welcome to for
me.
You have virtually banished the Scott
men from your ranks, but upon abject
terras; and I had rather, like Cariolauus,
seek an asylum among my old enemies,
than humble myself before your unjust dic
tation.
It was your errror, sir, in not placing the
Whig party in its true position. The Com
promise was a Whig measure iu Congress
and out of it. Whigs conceived it, and
Whigs carried it through. The Georgia
platform was the conception of a Whig, and
it was successfully established by a laWe
majority of Whigs. You should therefore,
have planted the party firmly npou it, and
not have merged it in an undistinguished
mass, and lost its recognition with eighteen
thousand majority,.which was but a fourth
of the popular vote favoring the measure.
Had you have done this, the result would
have been the same, and all parties have
been properly united." The Whig, party,
instead of being swallowed up.in a uaine-
less, contemtible sectional organization,
would now have been proudly occupying
the position to whjph its principles, its in
tegrity, and its patriotic devotion to the
constitution so eminently entitle it. But
you have preferred a party of your own
construction, aud you have it—a mottle
mixture—
“Men bearded, bald, eowl'd, uncowl’d, shod,
unsiiod,
Peel’d, patched, and piebald, linsey-woolsey

OtfR'TowN.—It is gratifying to us, as
the special chronicler of passing events for
this county, to notice the rapid improvement
of our Town, the evidences of which greet
the eye on every hand. Many large and
commodious dwellings have already been
erected, and a considerable number are now
in process of completion, besides many in
contemplation, which will doubtless be built.
Every department of business, and es
pecially the mercantile and mechanical,
display unmistakable symptoms of activ
ity and life. In addition to this, we
have two large and flourishing schools—one
male, the other female, and both under the
superintendence and direction of very effi
cient, competent, and highly approved
teachers. It is truly pleasing to every cit
izen who has the interest of the village, and
indeed of our entire community at heart,
to behold the largecrowd of intelligent look
ing little boys and girls that throng our
streets as they merrily trip their way to their
respective schools in obedience to their chi in*
ing bells. But we are not at all surprised at
this general improvement of the Town, it
could not be otherwise—surrounded as we
are, by a large county, that can boast as
many industrious and intelligent farmers—
theboue and sinew of our country, as any
other county in the State.

"Railroad, by which our regular communica
tion with Macon is temporarily interrupted'
We are informed, that within the past few
days more rain has fallen at and beyond the
Oconee river than fell in the great Harri
son freshet of 1841. Mr Wadley, the inde
fatigable superintendent of the Central Rail
road passed over the entire road to Macon
on Sunday last and finds that the track is
considerably washed, between stations No.
15 and 15 T-2. A small mill above the
166 mile post is carried away, also, one
small bridge. We aTe gratified to learn that
the bridge over the Oconee river has sus
tained no injury, and that the damages will
be so far repaired by Thursday next, as to
allow the cars lo run regularly through to
Macon. The road has suffered no injuries
between this and the Oconee river, and the
cars go up to No. 15 without interruption.
Since Thursday the trains have been pass
ing through to Macon. The night trains
were slopped until last night, when we learn
they resumed their regular trips.
Yellow Fever at Montgomery.—The
Board of Health of Montgomery report that
on the 12th August two cases of yellow fever
arrived in that city direct from New Orleans
Since that day, 13 cases have occurred-nine
of which came direct from New Orleans,
Mobile and Pensacola. The remaining four
cases occurred in a family .of Irish laborers
living near the river. Of the 15 cases, 6
died, 4 recovered, and five under treatment
—all with fair prospects of recovery. The
City Council has passed resolutions estab
lishing a quarantine for all steamboats com-
j ing from Mobile or New' Orleans.

Mr. Editor :—Allow me a place in your
columns to make a plain statement of facts,
ss I understand them, to the voters of Jef
ferson county.
It has been announced in your paper,
that Judge Robert Boyd w’as the regular
nominee of the Whig party for the Senate
from this county, and is now published as
the Conservative candidate of the party,
and myself and others as Independant can
didates. I speak for myself#and state what
I believe to be facts, and challenge my op
ponents to disprove them if they can. Our
citizens in favor of nominations were told
that that course was unpopular, and would
lead to difficulties; judge then our sur
prise, when a few individuals met in cau
cus at Louisville and threw overboard such
names as to them were objectionable, per
haps on account of their peculiar views in
relation to the Liquor Traffic, to effect what
they called a compromise, and gave to the
upper part of the county the Representative*
and the lower portion the Senator; noble
Do they now say to the
numbers willing to be told they have no
right, to control that which pertains to
their interest, especially when that interest
is involved in the retail traffic of intoxica
ting liquors. Therefore, we hope the Judge
will not act the part of an independant can
didate, and not play the gae of “mum,” in
this interesting campaign.m

For the Central Georgian.
Mr. Editor.—Among the Candidates
for office whose names appear in the,“Cen
tral Georgian;” is Mr. James B. -Hayne, of
Scriven county, who offers for General of
the 2nd Brigade, 1st Division, G. M.
No doubt all soliciting this post, are
equally determined in case of election, to
enforce the Militia laws of the State. The
question then is, who is best qualified, and
people in the lower part of the county, we
have effected a compromise, now let us rea
son together, and bring out a man that we
can all support? No sir, in this compro
mising spirit, and without consulting any
one, (notwithstanding there was a District
in the lower part of the county, numbering
over one hundred and thirty votes, and not
a man of them -consulted in the matter),
this Whig parly, make haste to announce in
your journal Judge Boyd as the regular
nominee of the party. Olt Consistency!
This was a strong game and worthy a bet
ter cause ; yet, for the sake of harmony in
the party, and among friends, our people
determined to bear it, provided the Judge
would answer sueh questions tis were
propounded to him by “Many Voters.” He
placed himself upon his dignity and refus
ed to answer. But something must be
done to make a show of frankness, and two
of his advisors consulted about the matter,
and one of them addressed him a note*
which has been made public in connection
with the Judge’s response, which to most
persons, (exeept those that brought' him
out, and the liquor men) was unsatisfacto
ry. I say ‘liquor men,’ for his reply left
many of them in doubt as to his w herea
bouts as regards legislation on the subject.
Ths doubtful position of the Judge on the
question, and his opinion that moral sua
sion is the remedy for this, the worst of
evils, determined the friends of Legislation
to start a candidate in whom they could
rely upon for that purpose.. I, believing
that a law based,upon the principles of the
Atlanta resolutions would be constitution
al, and the people have the right to control
the matter for themselves, permitted my
friends to declare me a candidate for the
Senate, For this reason, they charge us
with being disturbers of the Whig party.
If a few individuals constitute the Whig
party of this cquntv, we plead guilty to the
charge. If they do not, then we are not
guilty, and ifachaigc of distracting the
party rests particularly any w here, it is for
the people to determine who shall bear the
blame. A few more words and I have
done. My enemies, or the enemies of the
cause I advocate, tell my friends they have
killed me for all time in bringing me forward
on this occasion, I will say for their con
sultation, “weep not for me, but rather for
yourselves, and for your children, for
though I die, I trust in.God, the cause I ad
vocate may not perish till this monster,
King Alcohol be destroyed, or his reign
broken down.
