Opposition 3leotiii£ in Houston.
The people of Houston county met in
Perry to-day to hear Oapt. Hardeman upon
the political questions of the day. The
crowd was large. 011 motion, Dr. Win. A.
Mathews was called to the Chair and Jesse
D. Havis requested to act as Secretary.
On taking the chair, Dr. Mathews ex
plained the object of the meeting to be to
hear an address from Thomas Hardeman,
Esq., the Opposition candidate for Congress
in tlie Third Congressional District, and to
nominate Opposition candidates for the
Legislature. Capt. Hardeman then took
the stand and addressed the people for one
hour and a half with great force and elo
quence. At the conclusion of his address
the meeting adjourned for one hour, and
then met again in the Court House, and
proceeded to nominate candidates for the
Legislature—when upon motion of Drury
M. Cox, Esq., Col. Dempsey Brown was
by acclamation nominated for *he Senate.
The meeting then proceeded by ballot to
nominate candidates l'ui* the House of Rep
resentatives, which resulted in nomi
nating on the first ballot, John 11. Hose
and YVm. R. Brown as candidates for the
Representative branch of the State Legis
lature.
Gen. Warren then rose and presented to
the consideration of the meeting the follow
ing; resolutions :
Jst. llesolved, by this meeting, That we
approve of and indorse the resolutions pas
sed by the State American and Opposition
Convention held in the city of Macon 011
the 20th July last.
2nd. Resolved , also, That we approve of
the nomination of Col. Warren Akin, of
Cass county, for the office of Governor, and
that we extend to him a hearty support,
believing as we do, that lie- is altogether
worthy of the public confidence, and abun
dantly competent to the discharge of the
duties of that office.
3rd. lhsolved, That the reckless extrav
agance and. bare-faced corruption of the
Administration of President Buchanan,
should be discountenanced and condemned
by all honest men of all parties.
4 h. JR-solvct, Tim: tlie
made to us by Capt. Hardeman, our cum
didate for Congress, proves him to be a
statesman and patriot, as well as a gentle
man of decided ability, and that we will
extend to him a warm and hearty support.
These resolutions were supported by Gen.
Warren in a brief speech, in which among
other things lie said in substance —that
the first of these resolutions referred to the
resolutions of the Convention of the Ameri
can and Opposition party that met in Ala
con on the 20th of last month, and he had
not even heard from any source that they
were disapproved of 01* opposed by even
the Democratic party of Georgia, upon the
great and all absorbing question of slavery,
and as they met the approval of all parties
in Georgia, it wasPiinnecessary further to
refer to them.
He said he was personally acquainted
with Mr. Akin, the Opposition candidate
for Governor, and that he would say of
him most sincerely, that lie did not know
a purer, higher toned and more virtuous man
than Col. Akin. Commencingin the world
a poor boy, without the aid of money, or
at that time, influential friends, he had by
his own indomitable energy and industry,
and bis high sense of honor and incorrup
tible integrity, worked bis way to a high
and useful position in society—and lias
made himself one of the ablest, most effi
cient and reliable lawyers in all the up
country of Georgia ; lie knew him to be
every way worthy of the public confidence,
and he hoped it would be extended to him.
Gen. W. said he had been opposed to
running an Opposition candidate for Gov
ernor, not because be thought as some
think, that Gov. Brown had made a good
Governor, for he really thought he was
the.smallest man, put up on the smallest
plan of any man that had ever occupied
the Executive chair —and in this opinion
he was fully sustained by matiy ot Gov.
Brown’s own friends—for that with a ma
jority of two-thirds in both houses of the
last Legislature, he was not sustained in a
solitary important measure that lie recom
mended to the Legislature. They over
ruled him in his little demagogueical bank
notions. They repudiated him in his de
sire to make large donations to certain Col
leges, and establish free schools all over
the State. They opposed him in his re
commendation of State aid to railroads,
and they did hardly condescend as much
as even to notice his recommendation to
establish Howell Cobb’s United States plan
of a sub-treasury for Georgia, and prevent
the issuing ot bank bills under the denomi
nation first of 810 and ihen 820. 1 hat
whether these recommendations of Gov.
Brown were right or wrong, his party with
overwhelming power —fully capable ol sus
taining him in all—opposed him in till oi
them, and*therei>y condemned in as strong
terms as he could do, the leading measures
of Gov. Brown’s administration. And yet,
strange to say, the leaders ot bis pait) ,
after having thus condemned him, re-no mi
nute him and recommend him as most wor
‘THE UNION OF THE STATES: —DISTINCT,
THOM ASTON. GEORGIA, SATURDA
j thy of the confidence of the people! If
: Governor Brown was right in bis recom
mendations. bis party having fully the pow
er to do so, should have sustained him and
carried them out. If he was wrong—as
they must have thought he was—their
, leaders now should not try to palm him
i off again upon the people as a marvellous
| and proper man for Governor. And yet
i they are doing it. Judging from tin? past,
1 ami from it nut doubting that they would
be able again to deceive and mislead the
people, he was opposed at this time torun
ning a candidate tor Governor. But the
State Convention had, and perhaps prop
erly, decided otherwise, and had presented
to the people for their support a most esti
mable and worthy gentleman—perfectly
; unexceptionable to any one. And it is our
duty as it will be our pride altd pleasure to
support him ; and it is believed that many
an honest Democrat—for there ‘are very
honest and good men among them, and he
I saw them here to-day, having become tired
! and disgusted with the falsehoods and mis
representations practised upon them by
■ their heretofore leaders, are determined to
vote for the Opposition candidate.
Gen. W arren said that of all the bum-,
bugs that had been attempted to be prac
ticed upon the peoj le, Gov. Brown’s man
agement of the road was the most ridicu
, lons and contemptible—and yet it was said
; it liad taken with many of the people—and
■ so lie feared it had, like many other Imm-
I bugs proceeding from the same source.
That the State Road was not built by Gov.
Brown, nor with his money; it was buil
by the people and with their money, and
! they tire the stockholders—and they get
less dividends, less per centage on the mo
; ney they have paid for the building and
j equipping of the road than the stockhold
ers of any other v oad in the State. This
is an undeniable fact. And instead of Gov.
Brown being praised and eulogised by his
friends, and more particularly himself-—as
lie most disgustingly was in his speech ac
cepting the nomination—the people should
demand of him why their road under his
management, of which he says so much,
does not pay to them—into their treasury
> —the State Treasury, which is threit* Iff*
sury—as much at least on their money
paid in as other roads in the State pay
their stockholders and builders ot their
roads. This is what should lie done. But
Gov. Brown’s friends say that the State
Road cost more to build it than other roads
in the State —that it was built through a
mountainous and hilly country. This is
granted ; and while this is granted, it is
equally true that this is more than made
up for by the great advantages the State
Road.has over all other .w in the State
in this. It feeds and is fed by three other
important roads : the LaGrange road, the
Macon and Western, and the Georgia Rail
road—each of which pay larger dividends
to their stockholders than the State Road
does to its stockholders —and yet the peo
ple that own the State Road are asked to
vote for Governor Brown because of his
line and profitable management of their
road. Gen: W. repeated, that, instead ot
giving him their votes they should call him
to account for not managing it better, and
paying them more on their investment in
the road—an investment it is said of some
Six Millions of Dollars, and which at ten
per cent., would pay to its stockholders,
tlie people, Six Hundred Thousand Dol
lars a year—and this and more than this
it ought to pay.
Gen. Warren said that the extravagance
—the useless extravagance of the Buchanan
administration, was admited on all hands.
Mr. Toombs has said that ours is the most
corrupt government in the world, and that
it is in the hands (boastingly in the hands)
of tlie Democracy all know. Mr. Stephens
says, that the government should be ad
ministered at a cost of forty millions of
dollars a year, and it uses upwards of
eighty millions under the Buchanan ad
ministration. And Mr. Buchanan himself,
said that lbrfYrlive millions of dollars ex
pended by Mr. Fillmore, in administering
the government, was too much —was waste
ful and extravagant, and ought, to be re
duced, and none but-, the Democratic party
would do it ; and in the face of bis com
plaints anil promises thus made by him,
he himself spends upwards of eighty mil
lions of dollars in administering the gov
ernment —and with a large surplus revenue
in the Treasury when he took charge of
the government, he has really made it
bankrupt as admitted by all. Ought there
not to be a change and a stop put to this
corruption and extravagance ? All good
men should say yes, and act in sin-li a way
as to produce such aresult, withoutwspeet
to former party relations. And it is believ< and
that the democratic party the boneand .-mew
of it, being sick and tired of the deceptions
and frauds practiced upon them by their
leaders, are making ready, getting prepar
ed for that charge. And Howell Cobb.
Secretary of the Treasury at Y\ asliingfon.
seeing this, and iu order to prevent tins,
has recently dismissed from the Custom
House in New York, ninety-five Clerks,
whose salaries have been costing the govern
ment, as it is alleged, over one hundred
thousand dollars a year. Aud the admin
istration paper at Washington, and the
Federal Union tit Milledgevfile, copies it,
praising Secretary Cobb for 1 1 is retrench
ment in dismissing those ninety-five use
less Custom House officers, and soys the
business of the Custom House in New
Y ork is conducted just as well, as when
they had their ninety-five additional Clerks,
thereby showing and acknowledging in the
■most emphatic terms, that those Clerks
imd been employed without necessity, but
•wiply ‘to pay and filed partizan friends at
The cost or*the people, of s*’loo,ooo a year.
It might, he considered strange that
Secretary Cobh did not find out that those
ninety-five Clerks, tit a salary of 8100,000
a year was useless, for he lias been in office
over t#o years, and should have found it
out, and that he did know it, there can be
no doubt, and be would have let the /nat
ter go on so, but the people began to look
into it—he saw the people were after the
administration of which lie was a member,
and th(€i turned reformer —became a re
trencher of expenses. And lor what ? to
get the people to trust iirni, and his party,
and his chief’s administration again—this
too, was very much like a man trying to
get into the good graces of another, that
he might the more easily rob him of what
may he dear to him. The people without
reference to party ties, should look to their
true and best interest, and withdraw their
confidence and support from those who have
deceived and misled them.
Gen. Warren remarked that it was not
necessary to say a word in reference to the
last resolution that he had offered, and in
deed it was not proper to do so. Capt.
Hardeman was then present —we had till
listened with much pleasure to his very
able speech’ made to us to-day, and we
could with great propriety and sincerity,
commend him to the people of the District,
and ask their aid in electing him to Con
gress, where he doubted not, he would re
flect honor upon himself and Lis constitu
ents, and render important service to the
whole country.
At the close of Gen. Warren's remarks,
the resolutions offered by him, were unan
->>!: mly passed by the meeting.
After an order that the proceedings of
tliis meeting be published, and a short ad
dress from the President of the meeting,
commending their candidates, and urging,
their friends to their support, the meeting
adjourned.

Perry, Ga., Aug. J 3th, 1859.
From tli. 1 Augusta Chronicle & Sentinel.
“What ‘tccauic of tlic Jlimjcj !”
Some weeks ago, wo published the offi- ;
cial st lenient, of the Comptroller,showing,
that during Gov. Brown’s administration,
from March, JSSB, to June, 1859, both in
clusive, a period of sixteen months, the
State Road had paid into the Treasury
four hundred, and fifty-seven thousand dot
tars! and we asked “what became of the
money” under Gov. Johnson’s administra
tion, when the business of the road, during
the <wo last years of his administration,
was ns great asunder Brown’s administra
tion ? We called upon the Democracy to
respond to tliis enquiry, as it was a matter
of particular interest to the people, to know
how their money had been spent. To this
call no response or attempt at a response
was made until within the last few (lays, j
the Federal Union, writhing under the im- ;
putntion against its party, lias essayed the
task. And-how think you, reader, lias it
answered the enquiry ? Strange as it may
seem to the unsophisticated, it re-pul ilish
es an extract, a tabular statement, from
Gov. Johnson’s last message, and asks us
to re-publish it ! We published ilie en
tire message, tlie statement included, when
it was delivered ; it threw 110 light on the
subject of our enquiry then, and it sheds
no more now. We want to know, and the
people arc anxious to ascertain, what
amount of money was stolen by the officers
and contractors, who are supposed to have
been joint and equal partners in the exten
sive swindles perpetrated on the State —
to avoid the exposure of which, Mr. LeHar
dy, the Engineer, was said to have been
removed. He was tod honest to stand by
and see the State robbed, and lie was re
moved, that they might have a fair and
open field, (fox. Johnson’s message shed
no light on these transactions, but like the
reports of the whitc-icashitty committees,
sent up by the Legislature, it was perfect
ly silent in regard to them.
The Message of Governor Johnson was
equally silent 011 another beautiful finan
ciering operation of his Excellency—one
which should entitle him to a high place
among the Democratic cut rency tinkers and
financiers of the State. We allude to his
git ing the bonds of the State to the Geor
gii Railroad for about one hundred thons
oid dollars , more or less, upon which the
Siate paid to that road seven per cent in
fiest, when for political purposes he was
paying the earnings of the State Road into
tie Treasury, where it could draw uo in
tfrost. The State Road owed the Gcor
n Road, for fr< ights. which it had cMh c
‘>£PTfu'nf&&. V tin
ted, but instead of paying the debt, Gov.
Johnson had the money of the State Road
paid into the Treasury to make political
capital thereby, and gave the Georgia lload
the bonds of the State bearing interest ! !
This is a specimen of Democratic financier
ing and railroad management upon which
Gov. Johnson’s messages and all the re
ports of the white-washiny committees of
the Legislature are perfect ly and profound
ly silent. Gamlot.the Fe<lrat luion re
lieve tin! public anxiety on 1 lie? subject, by
giving them the dates of the bonds given
by the State to the Georgia load, and the
exact amount, and then show by the mes
sage of Governor Johnson what amount
was paid into the Treasury during the pe
riod this debt was in existence and being
created ? These facts will be interesting,
and will show that the Governor himself is
directly responsible for some of the money,
the interest on those hands, out of which
the State lias been defrauded by these dem
ocratic currency tinkers and railroad man
agers. We,call.upon the Federal Union
for the information, and we desire a manly
and frank response—no quibbling. We
know the bonds were given, and we know
about the amount —anu we know that at
this same time the Democracy made a great
blow about the immense amounts the road
was paying into the Treasury, under Gov.
Johnson’s management. We wish to know
the exact amount, and the dates of the
Bonds—and the people want to know also.
Speak out, Mr. Federal Union , and give
us the truth for once.
A Kclic of the Revolution—Col.
Tarleton*s Letter.
TERMS OF CAI’ITULATION.
We have before 11s a letter, dated May
29tli, 1780, in the band-writing of Col.
Tarleton of the British Legion, an officer,
at the mention of whose name the whigs
of Carolina trembled. It was handed to
us by Mr. Robert C. Forsyth, of Columbus,
a grand-sou of Col. Meigs of 1 lie Revolu
tion, and a sou of the late John Forsyth,
Secretary of State under Gen. Jackson.— 1
It contains the terms of capitulation offer
ed b'wTarleton tr> Col. Bn l ord, we pressme,
just before the defeat us the latter near
the Wax haw settlements, in South Caro
lina. Col. Buford‘had been sent with four
hundred troops of the Continental Army
from Virginia, to assist the whigs in their
defence of Charleston. Reaching Camden,
he ascertained that Charleston had fallen,
and beat a retreat. Tarleton was dis
patched by Earl Cornwallis to meet Bu
ford with seven hundred men. Coming up .
with him, Col. Tarleton addressed Col.
Buford tLe following letter, which, not be
ing responded to, the former gave battle to
the latter, routing his whole force, showing j
his men no quarters, cutting down the •
American flag with his (Tarleton’s) own
sword, and playing sad havoc with the ;
American soldiers. This letter is written
on a piece of foolscap twelve inches by
eight, and in along, bold band. It reads
thus :
May 29th, 1780.

“never reads your paper, merely takes it
to encourage you.” It is to he dunned by
the paper man. the ink man, the wood
man, the rent man, the printer man and
every other sort of man under heaven, not
exceptiag the smutty laced “devil” him
self: so tlnit you have no good and suffi
cient reason for not committing suicide at
once, and thus ending the “ills that edi
tors are heir to.” It is to make off ;i stack
of accounts two feet high, ride a week, ex
pend liftegp dollars for horse hire and tav
ern bills, and return with just two dollars
and fifty cents, the result of your labor and
outlay. It is to write duns upon duns,,
with the gratifying reflection, that iiotono
of your delinquent subscribers will make a
personal application of them. It is to be
vilified and lied upon by vagabond puppies,
who are unfit to loose the strings of your
shoes, or bring you 1 lie hoot-jack. Jt is to
have shaggy-haired, mustachioed ruffians
armftl with hickory clubs, bovvie knives,
walk into your sanctum and demand an
immediate and. humiliating retract i-. a of
the truth, or something you have nut said,
and thus forcing on you the necessi y of
kicking him down stairs and hurling his
‘ arsenal after him. Jt is to he a slave, a
gaily slave, and get up some morning and
find what you have long expected, your
ofiioe in tin* hands of the sheriff, arid your
foreman whistling Yankee Doodle, and
working off posters, (on your own press
too.) for the sale ot the concern at public
auction, on the day of , to the
