Col. It. T. Doyal’g Address.
We received this evening a copy of the
very chaste and elegant address delivered
before masonic fraternity at Newnan, on
the 24th inst., by Col. L. T. Doyal, of
Griffin. It is a very difficult matter f<*r any
one to be entirely original in handling sub
jects of this kind, about which so much has
been spoken and written, but the Colonel
throughout his long address was far, very
far from imitation. The address is among
the best we have ever read. Wo regret
vary much, owing to its length, ourinalility
to give it a p'aoe in one 1-01110108.
Greeley lias made much reputation as
an agriculturist by his recent trip to Texas.
Ilis advice to the Texas people was very
appropriate, and had “the ring" of the true
“pbilosphor." He advised the people not
to allow the “butter milk" and “sweet
milk" cows to rnn together, and also “that
the cotton which bore the red bloom made
the finest staples, and it would be a decided
improvement on the cotton, if planters
would pull or knock every morning, the
white blooms. The old philosopher will
be President yet.
Blodgett and Gaskill.
These twin brothers—State Road and
State Treasury “suckers" were indicted
recently by the Grand Jury of Fulton
county, for “larceny after trust, Ac., because
of the careless manipulation of a few thous
and dollars of the money of the State, or,
of Miles G. Dobbins. B'odgett replies—we
mean of course the Hon. Senator—through
the newspapers showing that a claim of
Dobbins’ for damages in the shipment of
some cotton, was settled for about sixteen
thousand dollars by his note as Superin
tendent of the State Road, and delivered to
Gaskill as the counsel of Dobbins, which
was subsequently paid. This showing
if correct, shifts the onus to “Varney," and
he too, imitating his old companion, writes
a note in which he says, that he was to
have all he could get, either by suit or
otherwise, over seven thousand dollars.
This if true, relieves “Squire Varney" also.
While we have no special reason (but on
general account we might), to doubt the
statement, we will, however, say that
“Varney” got a very übusuhl fep, and Dob
bins of late has grown r.» bp vpry liberal.
About Platforms.
When Thomas Jefferson delivered his first
inaugural address, he laid down what he
conceived to be the principles of govern
ment. They are as follows :
“Equal and pxact justice to all men, of
whatever state or persuation. religious cr
political.
The support of the state governments in
all their rights as the surest, bulwarks
against anti republican tendencies.
The preservation of the general govern
ment in its whole constitutional vigor, as
the sheet anchor of our peace at home and
safety abroad.
A jealous care of the right of election by
the people.
Absolute acquiescence in the decisions
of the majority, the vital principle of repub
lics. from which there is no appeal but to
force, the vital principle and immediate
parent of despotism.
The supremacy of the eivil over the mili
tary authority.
Economy in public expenses, that labor
may be lightly burdened.
Encouragement of agriculture, and of
commerce as its band-maid.
The honest payment of our debts, and
sacred preservation of the public faith.
The diffusion of information, and ar
raignment of all abuses at the bar of pub
lic reason.
Freedom of religion, freedom of speech,
freedom ofthe press, and freedom of person,
under the protection of the habeas corpus,
and trials by jury impartially splpcted."
We most heartily endorse the above as
the tenets of our political faith and for all
time to come, with this single addition ;
that the E ectoral College should be abol
ished and the President an! V ce-Presiflent
elected directly by the people. No one
knew better than Mr. Jefferson, the true
nature of our Government, the exact rela
tions the States bore to the General Govern
ment, what rights were reserved to the
States and what powers delegated by the
States, to the Federal Head. Id short, he
was thoroughly acquainted with the men
and times that made our govornment, and
we are te-day. indebted to him more than to
any other, for many of the must sat red prin
ciples of our (intended) free government,
with principles every lover ofConstitutional
liberty should revere. The Democratic party
could adopt no truer wiser or patriotic
pFetfurm in the annro»chin e election.
The New Y rk eon espm.dent of the
Charleston News says there is a movement
being matured among certain prominent
Democrats in that city to push John Quin
cy Adams, of Massachusetts, for the Presi
dential nomination, on the ground that he

Messrs. Editors:—The patrons of Otk
Grove Academy and citizens generally,
fr »m town and the country, were very
highly entertained on Wednesday .night
last, by the exhibition given by the school
of Mr. McMichael at that place. The
speeches of the young men and hoys were
very fine. The compositions read by the
Mis-es were beautiful and appropriate—
some ns good as we have ever heard on such
occasions. The evening’s entertainme.nt was
interspersed with chaste and well selected
charades, dialogues, delineations. &c., which
were well rendered by all, and appreciated
by the large and attentive audience.
The speeches, compositions, and the
general demeanor of the students speak
very highly for our young friend, Mr J. C.
McMichael, as a thorough teacher. It is
to be hoped tlfafc the patrons of Oak Grovp
Academy will be fortunate enough to keep
their present teacher for some time to come.

A Singular Statement —Toe New York
Herald of the 18th contains a statement in
connection with the manner and cau*» of
the death of Mr. Vallandigham, which, if
ffue, 'Suggests some possible foul dealing by
siime unknown party. Here is the state
ment in question :
There is a mystery connected with the
manner of the accident, which is here com
mented on because u explained. It seems
that on the previous evening. Mr. Vallan
digharn had been using an unloaded pistol
iti experimenting, and that he had told
Governor Moßurney after the accident that
he had picked up the wrong pistol, that the
other one was unloaded. Gov. Mcßurney
ex unified the other pistol and found that it
wns also loaded. lb>w came the pistol also
to he loaded ? Was Mr. VaJandigham mis
led by wicked designs nr an accdent. the
result of carelessness? These are the ques
tions which are asked, but not answered.
There may he, and doubtless is nothing in
them but speculation, but that Mr Vallaii
dighara thought that at least one 01 the
weapons was unloaded is certain, whether
the mistake was his or that or some other
person.
Akerman,
Attorney General Aker man is sure to
retire from the Cabinet. Ilis place is either
to be filled by Solicitor General llristow or
General J-din M. Ilarlin. of Kentucky.
Either of them would verv ably fill the post
for which according to the constitution, a
man learned in the law shall he chosen,
and Attorney General Akermun, although
quite learned in law that is to be picked up
in a long Georgia practice, has, according
to common report, not displayed that erudi
tion arid profundity in the more abstru-e
matters ot national jurisprudence that that
good old instrument requires.— Sew York
Herald.
The Herald gets Akerman out of the
scrape at the expense of Georgia. It inti
mates that that functionary knows as much
law as could be obtained in a long Georgia
practice, but that some other schooling is
nec.ssary to make an Attorney General.
The Herald is surely joking. Georgia
has furnished several vpry able Attorney
Generals for the United States. N"t the
least conspicuous among them was the
Hon John McPherson Berr*‘in. an able and
learned, as luminous and distinguished a
lawyer as ever shone in the legal records of
the country.
It won’t do, Mr. Herald. Akerman’s in
competency and failure are Akerman’s
natter and not Georgia’s.— Constitution.

There are purist who maintain that all
deception, every attempt to mislead or put
upon a false scent, a lie; that every act of
domestic strategy comes under this denomi
nation, and is therefore a lie ; but this will
not hold. Lies have to do with words.
Birds and beasts are often cunning deceiv
ers, but to lie is strictly humah. The lips
speak guile, the hand in lites it. To enlarge
the field of lying, is virtually to tolerate it.
In seeming to be more strict, we become
less so. The person who argues that. Lord
Chesterfield’s man of the world, who accosts
with smiles men whom he would much
rather meet with swords, is a liar, opens
the floodgates to verbal falsehoods. We
cannot do without some politic dissimulation
of expression ; we do not allow ourselves
the luxury of babling countenances, hot
prefer to keep our thoughts to ourselves.
If tnis is lying, as well be hanged for a
sheep as for a lamb, and lie loudly and
persistently whenever it subs us Os course
we much prefer a countenance that tells us
the mind behind it to one that conceals it ;
but this not hinder the frankest from the
occasi >nal necessary deception of bUndness
and smiles. No doubt Horner’s “honest
face, which had all the commandments
written on it,” was equal to this degree of
untruth. N"W can we tie less lenient to tho
innocent wiles and subterfuges of gayety :
“When melanchullv bad her look,
Then mirth was in her heart.”
Ilypocrit-y may ndt-ed be a course of lying,
but not necessarily through deliberate,
spoken falseaood. M Vambrey gives it as
bis opinion that the Dervish’s ch>ak is the
ue plus ultra of hypocrisy—a patchwork >f
jugged rags, tacked together with pack
thread without, and often lined with rich
silk within— an acted falsehood, yet it would
serve the wearer little if his tongue wpre
n -t ready on all occasions to back it.—Sat

The “New Departure,” and . what it
Means.
Two things are very important to be ob
served by those who essay to enlighten the
public, and especially by conductors of the
press, to whom that public looks for face
®od unerring judgments .T.ne first is to
comprehend aright the subject under dis>
cussion. The s- oond is. to discuss it fairly.
Very much has been said about what is
called the “New Departure,” or the course
of the Democratic party in the N .rthern
States with regard to the recent u-urpations
~f the Radical faction. Some have given
<>ne version of their action, and some
anoter, while a few have boldly declared
that it abolished all distinction between the
two parties so far as the South is concerned,
and made it b matter of ind fference wheth*
er she supported one or the other.
We think this a superficial, if not a pre
judicial and unfair view of the case. We
have r* ad the resolutions of the Ohio and
of the Pennsylvania Democratic Conven
tions, and while we claim to be as jealous
of the rights of the Staips aud as inimical
to all Federal usurpations as the most, ultra
of our section, we have uoc arrived at any
i-ueh conclu'don.
What and * the Northern Democracy propose
to do ? A corn ct answer to this question is
a necessary first step in the argument.
Have they recommended a»» approval or e/i
--dorsement of the amendments recently en
grafted on the constitution by the Radical
party ? They certainly have not, so tar as
we have seen, arid we have carefully read
re-read all their proceedings. Do they
approve the manner in which those amend
ments became part of the cjnsMtunon and
declared that it was legal and regular ? If
they have, we have yet to seewthe evidence
of the fact. Nothing of the sort appears
either in the Ohio nr P-nnsylvania resolu
ti >ns* Do they declare that th se amend
ments ere to be regarded ass >rever sacred
and binding upon the American people a*
a full and final settlement of the subjects to
wdiich they relate? Il they do, take the
record and point us to the cause. We un
hesitatingly assert that nothing of the sort
is to be found.
Then what do they sav—what position do
they take? Simply, il we und* rsmnd them,
that the amendments have in point of tact
become parts if the Constitmtion—that they
were put there and proclaimed as parts ol
the Cons'irution by and authority which
whether legal or not. had the power to put
them there —that they are de facto parrs of
the constitution, “acconplished facts,” and
to be obeyed so long as they remain there.
They are not approved either in substance
or the manner of their creation, but simply
acknowledged ns fact, exiting against our
will and voice, but still existing. *iey
have not been declared legal nor has any
pledge heeen entered into to keep them
there, but, simply to yield obedience to them
while there, a doty which we could not
avoid if we would, for there is a power to
enforce it, and it would certainly be exer
cised. So far from endorsing or approving
anything, the eon vocations of both States de
nounced the wh-de series of usurpations as
dangerous to the States and popular liberty.
And where is the crime in thi* ? Have
we not in Georgia been doing the same
•bir.g for these two or three years past?
Was th'ere ever a more glaring usurpation
than the present Constitution of our State. ?
Who made it? The representatives of the
people of Georgia, the only persons com
petent in law to such work ? All will
, answer “No ” and yet we “acquiesce” in
and “accept” it—we obev it. Who created
the last Le gislature of Ge. rgia the people
of the State? Was there ev*r congregated
on earth a hand <*f conspirators and usur
pers more deetitue of legal authority and
more defiant of all law and the popti ar
will than that ? And yet we call tfs enact
ments hncfa. ar.d dai y admin ster them in
our courts —wp “accept” and “acquiesce’*
in them for we can do no better. In ah
this we are doing practically just what the
Democracy of Onio ar.d Perm>y vania, pro
pose to and > with regard to Federal usurpa
tions—tolerate, acquiesce in them until the
people come to th»*ir senses, regain their
lost powers, and see the dreadful extremity
to which they have be» n brought in their
moments of madness and tin ier the heavy
hand of the oppressor — Sav Republican.

C« TTON Look* Gloomy in Wilks. — An
intelligent planter in Wilks county writes
to his factor in this city: “Asa general
thing, the cotton crop is very poor. The
stand is bad and the cultivation is worse in
many instances. I have three hundred
acres ?n cotton this year and do not think I
will make aa m»ob cotton as I did last year,
with two hondred a**res planted. This is
the condition of all this section. My wheat
crop was splendid, yielding twenty bushels
to the acre. My oats I will not attempt to
harvest. They are not worth rhe time hod
labor.”— Chronic e and Sentinel.

is being fl »oded. N -rth Carolina is suffering
