should he represented.
Opposition Meeting:.
A meeting of the Opposition party to j
nominate candidates to represent Upson
County in the next Legislature, will be
held in the Court-House at Thomaston on
the first Tuesday in August next.
To Correspondents.
“A Lecture on Plain Truth” is received.
The sense is as good as the versification is
bad. It is too long drawn out for our col
umns. The writer, we think, would suc
ceed better in prose. His Pegasus needs
rubbing down, and his mane, tale and fet
locks trimmed.
The Iverson Dinner.
We have time and space only to say that
Vve have just returned from the Iverson
Dinner at Griffin. By mistake as to the
arrangements, we did not reach Griffin un
til after the delivery of the Speech, but we
learned it was well received, especially by
the Opposition party. If not too long, we
will publish it in our next.
In the evening Messrs. Speer, the Dem
ocratic can lidate for n/vnerrpsa nml Crtl
Lochrane addressed the meeting.
roram our thanks to Messrs. Steele,
Crawford & Logan, of the Empire State,
for their polite attention to us and assure
them that the “feast of reason and the flow
<>f soul” we enjoyed through their kind
ness, will be treasured as among the hap
piest reminiscences of our life.
Acknowledgment.
We return our thanks to Mrs. P. E. Eve,
Vice Regent of the Mount Vernon Ladies
Association, for several copies of the Mount
Vernon Record.
Carrollton IWasonic Institute.
The Exercises of the Carrollton Mason
ic Institute, under the Superintendence of
Pres. J. K. Leak, will be resumed on the
first Wednesday in August next. The In
stitution is in a more flourishing condi
tion than it has ever been, numbering about
I*2o pupils. We learn that the facilities
for learning Music and the Modern Lan
guages are not excelled by any similar In
stitution in the South.
“The Fly Leaf.”
The May number of this elegant quar
terly, “ devoted to the improvement of the
Senior Class, the promotion of Southern
Authorship,” Arc., Ac., and published at
College Temple, Newnan, Georgia, is on
our table. The “Fly Leaf” is beautifully
printed, and the original contributions and
editorials reflect great credit for taste, style
and ability on the Seniors of that College.
May the “ Leaf” continue to flourish and
spread itself even as a fashionable lady
should do in this the age of progress and
expansion. Price one dollar a year.
fiercer University.
We received the following note a fe\v
days ago from a committee of the Cicero
nian Society, Mercer University, Penfield,
in acknowledgment of a few curiosities
picked up in different parts of the world
and sent by us to that Society. Among
the relics of the past and connected with
Spanish and Moorish History, was a spec

scribed by the classic pen of our country
man—lrving. ..
The University, and especially the mem

Democratic Nomination*
The Convention to nominate a candi
date for Congress in this District assem
bled in Macon on Tuesday last, and nomi
nated Col. A. M. Speer, as their standard
bearer. We learn the Convention adopted
no platform. Why this unusual course
was adopted we cannot say, except it he
that the Convention could not agree on a
single measure that is now 7 agitating the
country. The only hope the people now
have of ascertaining the position of the
Democracy (A. M. Speer is the party at
this time) is what the gallant Hardeman
may he able to force out of him. The
people would like to know if Col. Speer,
like James A. Nisbet, thinks Stephen Ar
nold Douglas “the only man who can heat
the Republicans in I860” ? If he agrees
with Mr. N. what will the State Press say P
—what will the people say ? If lie does
not, w r hat will the Telegraph say P —what
will the politicians say ? The people
would-like to know 7 what the party thinks
of the President ? We shall keep our
readers posted as the principles of the par
ty are enunciated during the campaign.
j.nomas tiarat*iiiim, n.
This gentleman comes before the citizens
of the Third District as a candidate for
Congressional honors, recommended to our
confidence and support by a full and fair
; Convention of delegates from every part of
: the District. Apart from every thing else,
this action of our friends would command
our respect and adhesion to the nominee
over and above all geographical or person
al considerations. We, in common with
many others, would have preferred that
long delayed justice should have been ad
ministered to the Western end of the Dis-’
trict, blit this preference, we conceive, was
more a question of argument before, than
a rational ground of complaint after, the
Convention had acted—more an element
for deliberation than after a decision, a
cause or excuse for the indulgence of ha
tred, friendship, sectional rivalry or a too
prurient and perhaps a selfish ambition.
We again repeat the sentiment uttered be
i fore the assenililing of the Convention,
f .
that the continued supremacy of the Op
position party in this noble District—that
a good government honestly, economically
and wisely administered —the perpetuation
of the rights and union of the States—our
commercial, national and industrial pros
i perity are matters of far more importance
than any local or individual triumphs, par
ticularly if these triumphs can alone he se
cured by the ruin of our country and the
extinction of every noble instinct and sen
timent of the heart and the best convic
tions of the head, confirmed by our daily
and yearly experience.
Let us then rally for the nominee for
I these considerations, and because lie is
j honest, faithful and capable. Let us at
; once pluck up the tares of local and per
sonal disaffection which an enemy would
sow, and commit them to the fire. Let us
prove true to our ancient colors and roll
up a majority for Hardeman worthy of our
candidate and equal to our former wis
dom, virtue and renown. Let our foes at
once understand that the “ Old Guard
never surrenders” and the Gibraltar of
I Georgia Opposition can never be taken,
either by secret treachery or open assault,
and as the snn goes down on the day of
election may wo look up and proudly ex
claim—our flag is still there fluttering in
the breeze—let it ever float unpolluted by
corruption, unstained by crime—a foe to
traitors and tyrants, a friend to regulated
libe'rty and the chartered rights of the
| Union, the States and the people.
fill: l I\SON PILOT, SATbRDAV MORNING, JULY 10, I8ot).
Old Newspapers*
Few persons fully appreciate the value
of old newspapers. The newest paper, wqt
from the press, is eagerly sought after and
read, w’hile one, only a week old,
its cost in brains and hands, is only lit to
line trunks or wrap Up sugar and cbffee.
A paper really increases in value as it in
creases in age. Like the books of the Sybil,
the scarcity should hut enhance the price.
Let forty years of time pass on, perhaps
unheeded and forgotten, then take up a file
of papers read when you w 7 ere a careless,
innocent boy, and note the melancholy in
terest which lingers around their soiled
pages. The record of marriages and deaths,
and even the advertisements, as a part of
your past history, will appeal with mute
eloquence to your best affections and exact
the tribute of a tear. Old newspapers
are the best historians, and the wisest of
moralists. They daguereotype life as ft is,
and transmit to posterity an image neither
discolored or distorted through the medium
of present passion, interest, affection or
hatred. While they link us to the scenes
and persons of the past, they increase the
enjoyments of the present, and teach us
how to distinguish the real from the un
substantial in the future.
Some tw’enty-five‘ years ago, a paper
called the “Hickory Nut” was published
in this towm, and edited, as we are inform
ed, with much learning and ability. Can
any one of our readers furnish us with a
single copy of that paper P It so, we can
assure them it will be more valued, even in
its diminutiveness, than anew copy of the
London Times or some of our New York
papers as large as a bed spread. We have
before us a copy of the Federal Union dated
September 27, 1832, and several copies of
the Hancock Advertiser of 1827.
Associated with this subject we subjoin the
followinginteresting article from the Athens
Watchman:
John Miller, the Printer. —“We
copied from an exchange paper a week or
two ago, a fact which was new to us, though
perhaps known to every body else, viz : that
John Miller, the printer of the celebrated
“Junius” letters, and, perhaps, the only
man in America (or, it may he, in the
world,) acquainted with their authorship,
had lived and published a paper many years
in Fcndleton, and was buried there.
We are indebted to Mrs. K. J. Shekel
ford, of this town, for a copy of the Pen
dleton Messenger, “printed by John Mil
ler,” and bearing date September 26,1812,
it being the 21st number of the 6th vol
ume of said paper. It is a perfect Curios
ity. It is printed on a dingy sheet of pa
per that would now scarcely pass muster
as inferior wrapping paper, a little larger
than foolscap, at “two dollars and a half
per annum, one-lialf in advance.” In ty
pography it is not a fair specimen of the
printing of that day, hut was evidently
printed with types belonging to an earlier
period—the old-fashioned double s’s, long
tailed capital J’s and small irregular fig
ures being used.
The first thing in it is a long account of
the cowardly and disgraceful surrender of
Gen. Hull. It is dated Pittsburg, Aug.
28, and goes on to recite that Col. Cass
(the venerable Secretary of State) had just
passed through that place on his way to
Washington City, and from him the par
ticulars of the surrender had been gather
ed. From this account of it, it seems that
it was not Gen. Cass who “indignantly
broke his sword” on that occasion, nor did
any gentleman break a sword, but Col. Mil
ler threw his away, declaring it should not
be surrendered to the British. Gen. Cass /
it appears, was 24 miles from Detroit when
Hull surrendered, in joint command of 400
men. An express was sent after them, and
they returned the next day, and surrender
ed without breaking swords or any thing
else, so far as appears from the document
before us. So much for the reliability of
Democratic electioneering documents and
newspapers of 1848.
In addition to the news of Hull’s surren
der, the Messenger contains rumors of a
naval engagement or two—incidents in re
ference to the fight between the Gurriere
and Constitution —Capt. Dacres’ challenge
to Com. Rodgers, and other war news.—
There is not one word of editorial in it.—
The first thing under the editorial head is
a list of candidates for Congress and the
Legislature—the next appointments for
regimental musters —then two short com
munications, addressed to Mr. Miller —
some marriages and deaths—a lot of sher
iffs sales, a lost note of hand and a contra
diction af a false report concerning one of
the candidates ‘for Congress. This, with
the exception of a receipt to cure breast
complaint, which, so far as we can learn
from what some old scoundrel rat has left
of the last column of the third page, con
sisted of a fumigation composed of white
pitch and yellow beeswax, to be adminis
tered in a close room—is all that the paper
contains, equal in quantity to some three
or four columns of the Watchman. It
cost $2.50 per year—the Watchman costs
but $2, and contains 32 columns, about 28
columns more than that little old paper did
in 1812—and yet, (shall we say it ?) there
are men too mean to pay even two dollars
for such a paper !
For the Upson Pilot 1
The Birth-Day of liberty.
“ Tis Freedom’s mom, her natal mom,”
I heard an angel singing,
‘‘Blest was the day that she was born
Joy to Columbia bringing.
Haste, haste to bring the chaplet now
And twine it round her blooming brow.”
Though eighty years have o'er her flown,
With all their marks and changes
And many Kingdoms been o’erthrown
By Him who all arranges;
Yet on her ruddy cheek serene,
The glow of youth and health is seen.
Still inav she live to guard our homes
And fill our hearts with pleasure,
Strong courage give when danger comes
To rally round our treasure;
While o’er our souls shall softly steal
The ties that bind our country’s weal.
Long may she reign—The Goddess fair!
O'er all onr land in glory,
’Till all the servile nations share
In her bright page of story j
’Till her broad flag, by Peace unfurled,
Floats proudly o’er a ransomed world.
CASTILE.

♦ I ■—-
For the Upson Pilot.
Trip to Forsyth and Macon.
Col. Miller :— ln company with the
delegates from Talbot, Harris and Upson,
I took the cars of the Thomaston & Bartles
ville Railroad, at Thomaston, on the sth
inst., to attend the Convention of the Op
position party of the Third Congressional
District, which assembled in Forsyth on
the 6tli inst., to nominate a suitable per
son to represent the people of the District
in Congress, and I now propose to give
the many readers of your faithful Pilot a
brief account of what I saw and heard
while away from home.
We arrived in Barnesvillc about noon,
and dined with the Proprietor of the Ho
tel there, Gideon Barnes, Esq., from whom
the place derives its name. This is a small
hut neat tow r n. It has a supply of Me
chanics, Merchants, Druggists, Grocers
and professional men.
About half-past tw r o, P. M., w r e took
the train of the Macon &- Western Road
for Forsyth, where we soon arrived. Our
company, which now r numbered about
twenty, stopped at King’s Hotel; and just
here I will say that Mr. King spares neith
er trouble or expense to render his guests
comfortable.
Having nothing to do this evening and
the next morning, I strolled over the towrn.
Forsyth is a place of considerable business,
and withal very neat —considering its age.
Hon. R. P. Trippe, Judge Cabaniss, Col.
Cincinnatus Peeples and Col. A. D. Ham
mond, Solicitor General elect ot this Cir
llfirn If lnn Cttlll
a newspaper—the Educational Journal—
all of which I was pleased to learn are
flourishing.
It being generally understood that the
Convention would assemble in the Court
House at ten o’clock, at that hour I re
paired thither, and arrived just in time to
hear the address of Col. L. T. Doyal, ot
Spalding, on taking the Chair as President
of the Convention. Col. D. entered into a
lucid exposition of the principles of the
Opposition party, and addressed a pathetic
appeal to the latent patriotism of the peo
plo to arouse, shake off all lethargy, gird
on the armor of Truth, and go forth to
battle for the Right.
The resolutions adopted by the Conven
tion were such as every patriot, no mat
ter under what political banner lie may
heretofore have fought, should desire to see
inaugurated in the administration of our
government. The people there declare,
through their representatives in Conven
tion assembled, that the Constitution is
the best basis of the political rights of all
sections—that the monstrous proposition
of James Buchanan to unite in himself the
power to originate and carry on war de
serves to he held up, together with its au
thor and his hackers, as an example of the
insolence which characterizes the success of
modern Democracy—that this party, while
professing to favor a strict construction of
the Constitution, has inaugurated meas
ures in direct violation of the spirit of the
Constitution: while deploring, before the
people, the wasteful extravagance of Mil
lard Fillmore in spending less than fifty
millions of the people’s money, they have
spent eighty millions (some say as much
as one hundred millions) of dollars—that
the Democratic party, in their late Con
vention at Milledgeville, have, for the sake
of harmony in the ranks of their party, ig
nored the rights of their section by en
dorsing the slavery policy of James Bu
chanan—that the course of the “immortal
44 ’ Northern Democrats who supported
the Kansas hill, since that time, has prov
en Southern Democracy to be wedded to
the worst enemies of the South—that it is
the duty of Congress to protect the prop
erty of the citizens of the South in the
common Territories of this Union : a boon
denied them by the Northern, and a large
portion ot the Southern, Democracy—that
the forcing of the English hill to a final
passage, without time for consideration, by
Southern Democratic leaders, after they
had solemnly promised to make Kansas a
slave State, if the people w T ould elect Mr.
Buchanan, was only another link in the
chain that proves National Democracy ca
pable of making any sacrifice of the rights
of the South for the sake of harmony in
the ranks of the party. Such are the
sentiments of the people, who act inde
pendent of the mere dictum of the leaders
of National Democracy.
The Convention, on the third ballot,
nominated Capt. Thomas Hardeman, of!
Bibb, as the candidate of the party for
Congress, which nomination was afterwards
made unanimous. This nomination is no
doubt the best that could have Been made,
everything considered. I speak advisedly
when I say that the Democracy would have
preferred any other man in the District as
an opponent. I know r that there were
many of our party, myself among the num
ber, who believed the Western end of the
District was entitled to have the nominee
from their own section ; hut other and per
haps stronger reasons were urged for an
other. The best of feeling prevailed, not
only during the holding of the Convention,
hut in the mutual conversations of the del
egates with one another before its meeting.
Every member of the Convention whom I
heard express an opinion, declared that
whoever should receive the nomination, it
was their intention to go home and work
until the day of election for liis success.
There is another phase of this affair which
perhaps is not generally known —the friends
of the successful aspirant were authorized
to withdraw his name iii case there should
l>e any serious opposition : such opposition
as would he likely to injure our cause. I
am sure this magnanimous spirit will he
emulated by our friends in every part of the
District. Another fact should be borne in
mind—there was a very respectable por
tion of Western delegates who supported
Mr. Hardeman on the first and every sub
sequent ballot. There never lias been a
more fair nomination, nor can there he. No
under-handed means were employed to se
cure the nomination of any man. Every
thing was open, frank, manly.
After the Convention had gotten through
its business and adjourned, and before the
assemblage had dispersed, Col. C. Peeples,
(who was present as a spectator,) was call
ed upon for a speech. In response, Col.
P. demonstrated with mathematical cer
tainty the short-comings of modern De
mocracy. Every Northern Democrat whom
the Democracy had placed in power as a
“ Northern man with Southern principles”
had deserted us when their services were
most needed. Every Presidential candi
date run by the Abolitionists was a Demo
crat. Hon. Ilowel Cobh had admitted,
when a candidate for Congress, that Mr.
Fillmore was as pure a patriot as now liv
ed. Mr. P. wanted a candidate nomina
ted in opposition to Gov. Brown. He ha(J
not made the State Road pay more than
half what Ben Hill told the people it ought
to pay. Gov. B. had made his boast that
he would heat the Opposition thirty thou
sand votes. The speaker did not believe
it. He was cheered throughout his speech
by the large crowd present.
After the conclusion of Col. P.’s speech,
and after 1 had paid Mr. King’s’ table an
other visit, in company with others, 1 took
the cars for Macon, and arrived thereabout
five, P. M. There is no city in Georgia
that has more evidences of enterprise and
improvement than Macon. Several mam
moth business houses are in course of con
struction, and any number of dwellings
are being erected. Several of the business
houses there import their goods direct from
Europe. There is seven newspapers there
and a prospectus is out for the eighth, be
sides a moil tlily or two. I called on my
old friend, Dr. Andrews, Editor of the Cit
izen, and found him, as usual, at work. He
is one of the most industrious men I ever
saw. The Doctor is an uncompromising
opponent of modern Democracy, and is
“ eager for the fray” which is now com
mencing between National Democracy and
the people.
During my stay here I lost no opportu
nity to ascertain the feeling of the people
in relation to our nominee for Congress ;
and I can safely say that I have never
seen more unanimity in the ranks of our
friends nor more consternation in the ranks
of our enemies. T. Hardeman, jr., holds
truly an enviable place in the affections of
the people. He is emphatically a man of
and for the people. He is a man of the
highest order of talents, naturally, which
have been improved by extensive reading,
experience and observation. Residing in
a county where the odds are politically
against him, he lias always been triumph
antly elected whenever-a candidate for the
suffrages of the people. And, after all, is
this not the true standard by which to
judge of the merits of a man ? Who are
so competent to determine the real worth
of a man as his own neighbors P If Tom 1
Hardeman were not Faithful, capable and
honest, would the people of Bibb county
give him credit for being so ? I am not
speaking of the people of his party alone,
hut of all parties. His opponents admit
that he is all his friends claim for him ;
and if he were not so, would not Democra
cy proclaim it from the house-tops. Os
course they would.
On Friday morning at ten o’clock I took
the cars for Barnesville. For the first time
I saw a wind-mill. It is used by the Ma
con & Western-Co., at one of their water
stations, in lieu of a hand to pump water.
It pumps continually while there is a breeze.
‘Never mind the weather so the wind’ does blow.’
I arrived in Barnesville about 12, M., and
at half-past two took passage on the T. &
B. Road for Thomaston, where I arrived
at the usual hour. I could not help feel
ing proud of this Road, while traveling
over it. It runs as easy and as fast as the
majority ot Roads in the State, and I haz- |
ard nothing in asserting that the Conduc
tor of this Road, Mr. F. W. Dickinson,
has few equals and no superior in the State.
1 really believe that, if a person were to
get in the cars, and when his tare was de
manded, should he unable to pay, that Bil
ly, in putting him off the traiu. would sat
isfy him that lie was performing a valua
ble service to him. Such is the power of
“whining ways.”
The crops on the road are verv sorry.

CORRESPONDENCE.
Forsyth, July 6th, 1859
Capt. Thos. Hardeman, Jr :
Dear Sir —At a Convention of the Amer
ican and Opposition party of the Third
Congressional District, held at this place
to-day, you were unanimously nominated
as its candidate for Congress.
We are pleased to convey the intelligence
to you as the representatives of the Con
vention, and trust the unanimity which
prevailed, will induce your acceptance.—
Believing the harmony evinced in the adop
tion of your platform, and the selection of
yourself as our standard bearer, will he a
pledge, of our triumph in the approaching
election,
We remain yours very truly,
A. D. HAMMOXI).

M \ton, July 11th. 1859.
Messrs. Hammond, Stubbs and Saunders •
Gentlemen —Your favor informing me of
the action of the American amHdpposition
party, recently held in Forsyth,should have
been answered earlier, hut for my absence
i from the city. While accepting (as I <b } )
the nomination so flatteringly tendered me,
allow me to say—l do so with many mis
givings as to my ability, (it elected,) to
discharge tiie responsible duties that will
; devolve upon those who will constitute the
next Congress. The signs of the times
clearly indicate that the approaching ses
sion will he an exciting and stormy one.—
The North, bent upon power, urged on by
an unholy ambition and fanatical zeal, will
enter the halls of our national legislature,
powerful in numbers and resolute in pur
pose, determined to carry out those meas
ures that will inure to their political
strength, though in so doing, they violate
the provisions of our Constitution, infringe
upon the rights of the States,and leave the
South hopeless and powerless. To meet
such an array of opposition, tin* South
should he represented by her oldest and
wisest heads, men who know ing the inter
ests and rights of their section, will dare
maintain them. The history ol the South
has been that of compromise. Attached
to the Union for the sake of that Union,
she has submitted to injuries and aggres
sions, until the power that assailed her,
emboldened by her submission, now boldly
asserts and demands that which at oik*
time they modestly insinuated. These ag
j greeeions h hould cease. The day of com
promise has past ; action, tearless, determ
ined action, in the maintenance of her hon
or, and her right, is the only hope and sal
vatiod of the South. Should Ibe honored
lby the people of the Third Congressional
District with a seat in Congress, I shall
act with no party, American, Opposition,
or Democratic, that does not recognize and
respect the constitutional rights of those 1
represent, and he—who for the sake of the
unity of his party —should wink at insult
and aggression, is unworthy the suffrages
of a free and independent people. Looking
upon some of the measures of the present
administration as ruinous in their results,
and dangerous to the interests of the peo
ple, I shall oppose them heartily, zealously.
! The wasteful extravagance, the one man
| power, the mammath project of a Pacific
’ Railroad, and the Tariff’ policy of the pres
ent Federal Executive, are subjects of seri
ous and hitter condemnation. They are
opposed to the principles of a Republican
Government, and subversive of the inter
| est and power of the people. Looking at
I the present aspect of affairs, a united,
North, a divided South, a bankrupt Gov
ernment, well may we ask, “whither are
we drifting ?” Evils exist that should be
remedied, extravagance that should he
| checked, usurpation that should cease ;and
though of myself I could effect nothing,
yet 1 will heartily co-operate with those of
my party who will make effort to remove
those causes of complaint, and restore our
Government, to her primitive purity and
simplicity. I have long since lost confi
dence in political resolves and party plat
forms. They are made to he broken and
to deceive. We need hut one plank upon
which to stand, and that is the Constitu
tion. Positioned here, let us abide by its
provisions and boldly claim its guaranties-
Ask for nothing more, he satisfied with
nothing less. This is the duty we owe
ourselves, and he who falters in it, is un
worthy to represent any intelligent consti
tuency.
Thanking the Convention for the honor
conferred upon me, and wishing you indi
vidually success and prosperity, I am, with
high consideration,
Your obedient servant,
T. HARDEMAN, Ju.
