HOUSE— WM. G. HORSLEY.
Extract from Senator Iverson’s Speech
at Grill'in.
“The loss of Kansas to the South was the legitimate
and inevitable fruit of the ‘squatter sovereignty’ ele
ments of the Kansas-Nebraska bill, os construed and
enforced by f* Northern authors and friends.”
Got. Brown’s Secret Letter.
On our first page, our readers will see a
copy verbatim , punctualim ct spcllatim of
Gov. Brown’s secret letter to the Banks.
The Governor it will he seen stands head
on spelling as well as on book keeping.—
When his Excellency has filled the measure
of his fame on Banks and Kail Roads, and
before his wit is impaired by that sad de
stroyer—Time, we hope he will devote his
mighty intellect to a work on Orthography,
and thereby go down to posterity side by
side with the immortal Webster and John
son. May the couplet of Cotton Mather
be cut deep upon his tombstone, telling all
generations :
“He lived and wrought ; his labours were immense,
But ne’er declined to pretei perfect sense.”
Messrs. Toombs and Stephens.
About eighteen months referring to
the fact that Governor Calhoun had an
nounced his intention to issue certificates
of election to the free State candidates of
Kansas Territory, Sen. Iverson said :
“ I think it was an act of usurpation on*the part of
Mr. Calhoun to adopt this step, and I have regretted
exceedingly to understand—l do not vouch for the
truth of it —that this step has been taken on the advice
of Southern members of Congress.”
This “understanding” of Senator Iver
son soon assumed a more definite shape.—
The charge was distinctly made that the
Southern Members of Congress who ad
vised Calhoun to give the certificates to
free soilers were :
Howell Cobb, Secretary of the Trcasuary;
Jacob Thompson, Secretary of the Interior;
Robert Toombs, Senator from Georgia;
Alex. H. Stephens, Rep. from Georgia.
Mr. Cobb is tlie only one of the four im
plicated, that ever denied this charge which
it true should consign Thompson, Stephens
and Toombs to eternal disgrace and obliv
ion in the South. Stephens and Toombs
are mum on this subject and the course of
the one, on the Oregon bill and the af
fection of the other for Douerlas, is stron< r
evidence that the charge (if denied) could
be substantiated.
Probably Senator Iverson could make
some further revelations on this dark tran
saction.

Georgia, Talbot county, }
September 13th, 1859. j
Mr. Editor: A portion of the Demo
cratic party of this county, met at Adam’s
bridge on Fliut river, on Wednesday night
of the 7th iust., under the guidance of
thusiastic. We did not learn that there
was auy public speaking, but a great deal
°fj uggling. It took but a few passing
rounds of the goblet, filled to the brim
with what they term Democrat whiskey,
sweetened well with Brown sugar to bring
them all right, and the gentlemen succeed
ed in organizing their little band, and ar
raying them under the unfurled banner of
democracy. They were now all ready to
make that anticipated attack upon the
(Dark Lantern party,) mighty fortress,
which they say is to be carried by steam
on the first Monday in October. But as
the festive bowl went round, the merry
dance went on. Having danced till they
no doubt loosened the uaiLj and sprung

the sleepers of the Grocery floor, they ad
journed to meet again at the bridge, near
Manes’ Mill on the night of the l*2th, inst.,
at 10 o’clock, which they did according to
promise, armed and equiped with a suffi
ciency of the papskull and Cuba sixes.—
Here they were indeed merry, drinking
whiskey, smoking, singing, dancing, hol
lowing and yelling like so many savages,
to the great annoyance of all the good peo
ple in the settlement, and actually alarm
ed some of them fearfully. I can’t say
whether they injured the bridge or not, by
dancing on it, but I am told that a couple
of gentlemen have undertaken since to re
pair it. Now Mr. Editor it seems to me
that this is a great evil. Besides disturb-
I ing the peaceable inhabitants, they are
keeping numbers of men from their fami
lies ; their wives at home watching tor
them to return, fearful lest some sad acci
dent has befallen them, while numbers of
parents are wondering where their sons
are. Thus while the candidates make
votes, they also make drunkards. I need
not say more on this point, for every pa
rent knows and sees the full meaning at a
glance. Will the good men of the coun
try vote for men that are carrying out such
principles ? And I know’ of more than
one vote they have lost by their frolic at
the bridges. I used to be a Democrat,
and am yet, but I can’t stand that.

Patriotism anil Party.
Party spirit is the bane of Republics.—
Maddened by the clangor and shouts and
wild excitemeut of political conflict, the
danger is, that the people forget their true
interests and rush to their own destruc
tion. Led on by a wild and reckless fa
naticism, they become unmindful of their
country and its claims, turn a deaf ear to
the entreaties and expostulations of Jus
tice Truth and common Sense, recog
nize no master but their Party—know no
laws but its behests. In our popular elec
tions, men seem to forget that there is any
thing else involved other than an inglori
ous scramble for the spoils. Political tri
umph is not the boastings of successful
virtue—and defeat borrows its mortifica
tion alone from venal disappointment. The
people, regardless of the high responsibili
ty of administering aright the greatest gov
ernment on earth, are content to he the
puppets of designing demagogues. Though
they have been told that they are engaged
in the solution of the great problem of
self-government and that it is their duty
to bring to the mighty task the only agen
cies of its triumphant solution, intelligence
and virtue—the advancement and pro
gress of the country for the past few r years
in the midst of boundless extravagance
corruption and vice, have induced a gene
ral conviction that the government is un
raoveably fixed and will stand—that liber
ty is indiginous* to the soil, and has at
tained so firm a growth that it will con
tinue to spread and flourish, despite the
fierce heats that assail it or the pitiless
storms that heat upon it. But tlie pru
dent and sagacious, mark with consterna
tion and dismay, the deep and wide-spread
corruption that has settled over the land.
Nor do the glory and renown of our country
quell their apprehensions, for they remem
ber that Greece had the seeds of her dis
solution sown in her Peridean age of Art,
Science and Letters—that in the zenith of
her prosperity and glory, virtue began its
incipient decay and the worm began to
knaw T at the vitals of the Republic; that
when the seven-hilled city was mistress of
the earth, and was arrayed in the spoils of
a subjugated world and crowned with lau
rels from the field, and trophies from the
ocean, party contentions and vice heralded
her doom —and that the fitful attempts at
civil liberty in Venice, Florence and Gen
eva, were fatally counteracted by the cor
ruptions and sectional animosities of the
people. In view of these, the solemn and
instructive truths of history, we beg the
people not to solace themselves with the
seeming prosperity of the country. A dis
ease worse than despotism if it is not ar
rested, is beginning to prey upon the Re
public. The people are sacrificing their
country to their party —and instead of as
serting and maintaining their indepen
dence as freemen, they are selling them
selves to demagogues.
‘•What more oft in nations grown corrupt
And by their vices brought to servitude
Than to love bondage more than liberty.”
Disgusted at the venality and corrup
tion of popular elections, pure and high
minded men all over the country are be
srinninjr to refuse office and disdain to soil
their garments by stepping into the slough
of political vice. Even Mr. Stephens said i
the other day, that it had c; ceased to he
any credit or honor to hold office.” In
stead of our offices being filled with men
of capacity and moral worth, demagogues
by party intrigue and wire-pulling, im
pose themselves upon the people who are
taught to believe that they must vote for
them, to “save the party.” All over Eu
rope and especially in England, this state
of things is becominor a by-word and re
proach against our republican institutions,
and it has of late been waged with un
wonted earnestness by the opponents of
popular reform, as a reason why no more
rights should be given the people. It has
been somewhere said and truly said, that
“the loss of national character is the pre
lude of a nation’s destruction ” And when
the nations of the earth are beginning to
look with mistrust and want of confidence
upon our stability and purity as a govern
ment, it is a bad omen for the future.—
If our good name is thus suffering and our
offices are filled with scheming demagogues,
rather than pure patriots, the people them
selves are to blame.- The power is with
them and they are responsible alike for its
use and abuse. I trust that the people
may awako to the consequences of their
conduct—and that all over our wide
spread dominions, the fierce glare of party
excitement aud bigotry, may pale before
the purer and serener light of true patriot
ism. To the accomplishment of so glori
ous an end, our best efforts should be con
secrated. Let us all renew our devotions
at the altar of our country, and since so
ber men of all parties admit that there is
no principle involved in the political ques
tions of the day, let us forget our former
differences, our ancient triumphs and re
grets and man by man shoulder to shoul
der, let us labor together for the true in
terests cf our common country.
The American party has permanently or
for a time, abandoned her organization and
every where over the country, men irres
pective of former political alliances have
banded together to liurl out the dema
gogues in pow'er and cleanse the “Augean
Stable.” The question has ceased to be
whether you are American or Democrat.
The former party has disbanded and every
principle that distinguished the Demo
cratic party of yore, has become obsolete ;
the differences that arrayed you against
each other in the days of Troup and Clark
have all been settled; the Whig party that
in the olden time used to march under the
command of the immortal Clay, together
with the old Jeffersonian and Jacksonian
Democracy, is numbered among the things
that were, and the principles that used to
mark and distinguish them, are not held
as tests of party fellowship by any politi
cal organization of the present day. One
of our party associations it is true, has as
sumed the name “Democratic,” blit can
any one show wherein it resembles the old
party that bore the name. Those old ques
tions about “Internal Improvement,” “the
Tariff,” “American Industry,” “the Veto
Power” &c., are no longer questions —and
even in regard to those other issues that
have more recently engaged the public at
tention, the South is united. What is
there now, that distinguishes one party
from another ? nothing at all—except that
one party holds most of the offices and the
demagogues that belong to it are spending
the people’s money with unheard of reck
lessness, and disgracing the country with
their unprecedented corruptions. Not to
conquer a party, (for parties distinguished
by principles have ceased to be) but to
hurl these corrupt demagogues from office
and put in their stead good men, and true
a large and respectable portion ot the peo
ple have organized the “Opposition.” I
for one with pride and pleasure, respond
to its call. I look upon it as an augury of
a better time to come. May the God of
men and nations crown it with victory aud
triumph!
I have enlisted in its ranks because it
proposes to displace a corrupt Administra
tion, that receiving the popular suffrage
and going into office with professions of j
devotion to Southern interests or at least
justice to Southern institutions has proved
basely recreant to its promises by appoint
ing as Governor of Kansas, a man of known
O *
free-soil proclivities whose abolition policy,
in Kansas was advised and ratified by the ;
Administration itself —and that with the |
whites of its eyes raised to Heaven and its j
hands lifted up in holy horror at a nation
al expenditure of more than forty millions
a year, has spent over eighty millions a 1
year ; that proposes to relieve the execu
tive mansion ot Georgia of its present di
minutive occupant and place there, a man
worthy to hold the highest office within
the gift of a great and glorious people, to
repudiate his narrow and ignorant policy
in regard to the Banks so pregnant with
destruction to our monetary safety, and to
inaugurate a better system of management
for the State Road than that under which
with greater advantages than any three
roads in the State, it pays a smaller per
cent, than any of them. There is not a
man in the State, who is not deluded by
the wild cry “Democracy 1 Democracy !”
I when there is no Democracy, but feels that
it is a burning shame, a dishonorable stig
ma upon our State escutcheon, that so in
j significantly small a man as Gov. Brown,
should be at the head of our affairs —a
man whose only claims to office are his ig
norance, his conceit and his demagoguism.
His opponent if wo are to judge of him by
what all who know him, whether they be
political friends or foes say of him, is able
I and pure and would make a Governor wor
| thy ot the State ; and, independent of po
litical considerations, I shall vote for him.
If in the sequel of the present political
contest, it shall appear that a majority of
the people of the State are disposed to
continue in the highest office in their gift
a diminutive demagogue, and to ratify his
weak policy it may well be feared that the
corruption of party leaders has communi
cated itself to the people themselves, aud
that the interests of the country and of
truth have become secondary to the neces
sities of party —while on the other hand,
if the people rise up in the might of theirown
independence and virtue and rebuke the little
demagogues who have betrayed their trust,
and put purer and better men in power,
we shall look upon it as a nobler matter
of patriotic gratulation, than the increase
of our population or the extension of our
domain—as a proof that virtue still exists,
and has reared its temple of more than
Olympian grandeur and Gothic magnifi
cence on the soil of Georgia, while the
good and pure of all parties enjoy its shel
ter and its shade. CLARENCE.
OUR NEW-YORK CORRESPONDENCE.
The Aurora Borealis, tlie most beauti
ful and perhaps extensive ever known, I
witnessed from its commencement to its
close. Ab.mt 7P.M. in its first appear
ance low down the horizon, several hook
and ladder and lire companies wheeled out
and tore around the corners, with great
speed, for the jmrjjose us putting It out,
but alas, for once, they signally failed ; and
despite all human efforts, it spread and
rose till the heavenly structure seemed to
be all in a flame. The firemen went home
and hid the “ mersheen .”
A silly report went out some weeks since
that owing to a wonderful discovery, New-
York was about to be ruined, and that
real estate had already gone down in con
sequence of the report that owing to a de
fect in titles, two hundred millions would
go back to the city. The truth is, real es
tate was never so high, and improvements
of the most substantial and elegant kind
never so rife as now. Broadway especial
ly gives evidence of investments amounting
to millions of dollars in the erection of
some of the finest stores in the world.—
Money is plenty and people in good spir
its ; trade never better.
Lord & Taylor, for twenty years a
Grand-Street retail house, have just open
ed on Broadway, and have erected one of
the finest stores in the city or America.
The “Eno House,” or Broadway and
sth-Avenue Hotel, situated at 23d-Street,
very high up town, opened last week under
a company. It is an elegant but plain
structure, fitted up in magnificent style,
and accommodates 700 guests with entire
comfort. Two or three other large hotels
have just been opened. The tendency is
all up town.
Stepping into Wheeler & Wilson’s Ma
chine saloons yesterday, I saw Mr. \\ heel
er, and his last invoice of machines from
the factory, which now turns out 100 per
day. The whole bona fide number now
reaches over 142,000 machines. Then il
we look at at least 100 other factories, it
would seem as if the country was turning
into sewing machines. Cradles, flax brakes,
looms, spinning wheels—where are ye ?
“gone, glimmering.” A machine is com
ing out now to be “full jewelled .”
The Croton panic is over. Tlie most
eminent chemists have decided that the
water was filled with an “unusualamount
of vegetable matter ;” that “it was perfect
ly harmless,” yet they could give no whys ,
nor wherefores.
The Republicans hold their State Con
vention on the 7th ; the Democrats on the;
14th, and the Americans on the 21st
September. It is thought the Amer
icans will select a ticket from the other
two ; and having the balance of power if
they do, no party will succeed. Ameri
cans will elect ; Democrats and Republi
cans control the affairs of the State.—

Ciov. Brown ami Poor Women.
Mr. Editor : Common report says,
(and 1 am told it is a matter of record)
that Governor Joseph E. Brown vetoed a
i bill, passed by the Senate and House of
Representative of the State of Georgia,
for the protection of poor Women, (who
have dissolute and drunken husband) in
their individual earnings, which are so
necessary for the comfort and support of
of themselves and children.
The facts in the case, as reported, are
these : A jioor mother petitioned the
Legislature to he protected in her own in
dividual earnings for the benefit of her
family, so that they might not be liable to
; be seized by the creditors of her husband,
j A general bill was passed by them, applica
ble to all woman in like circumstances, and
only needed the signature of the Governor
to become a law ; but instead of signing
it he made it his business to veto it ; there
by, leaving it in the power of his rumsell
ing constituents, to take the last loaf of
j bread from her children’s mouths, which
’ she had been able to provide for them, to
| pay the debts of her drunken husband.
Now, Mr. Editor, if this be so, this, alone,
without saying any thing about his brag
i ing of beating by thirty thousand the
! strongest man the Opposition may bring
| out ; this, alone, 1 say, is sufficient to dis
qualify him, for being even a candidate for
Governor. B e n k vol en i • b.

A Slave Code,
The dross City, published at Corinth,
Miss., speaks its mind freely. In a late
number, it discourses in the following
terms :
Wc frequently hear the expression
“slave code,” and we would have no objec
tion to the term, but for the low and con
temptible demagoguing at the bottom of
it. It is an obolition term and originated
with Senator Douglas. Whipt as he was
upon the merits of the question in the ter
ritorial debate, he resorted to this misera
ble catchword, to alienate and prejudice
the public mind against the institution of
slavery. It was satisfactorily demonstra
ted that there was as much sense in talk
ing about a “pig code,” a “calf code,” or
any other “code,” as a “slave code.” But
relying upon the low instinctsof some, and
the misguided one of others, this contemp
tible coinage of Judge Douglas’ brain is
constantly harped upon bv a few of bis
allies, in their fruitless efforts to bolster up
a rotten cause, knowing that an unpopular
word is frequently more? potent than the
most solid argument. It is issued for ef
fect. No true southern man ever resorts
to such base perversions of constitutional
language—no man who lias southern feel
ing ever gives utterance to such nonsense.
The thing is intended for evil. It origin
ated from the lowest impulse of the human
heart, and stinks in the nostrils of every
patriot. He who aims this stab at the in
stitutions of flic South, if he lives on south
ern soil, is worse than tire highway robber,
because the latter makes no pretensions to
morals, and has the merit, at least, of
boldness. But tlie “slave code” man ap
peals to a false morality, without the bold
ness to avow it. Just think of it. The
Government of the United States protec
ting the southerner in the enjoyment of
property guaranteed by the Constitution,
and enforced by the Supreme Court. And
this legal constitutional right is called a
u slave code.” Away with such low, mean
expressions. Consign them to the
“Vile source from whence they sprung,
Unwept, unlioDored. and unsung.”
Shooting in Vicksburg, Miss. — We
clip the following from the Vicksburg
Whig, of the 31st ult. :
J. T. Head, a policeman, as we under- |
stand the matter, had recovered a trunk of!
clothes which had been stolen from a negro !
boy, named Henry, in the employ of Harda
way & White, and had been wearing about
the streets for two or three days, a coat
belonging to the hoy, which he had taken
from the trunk. Yesterday morning, Head
was sitting in the livery stable of Mr.
Mann, on Clay street, and so also was the
you, Aaron Wells, whom lie shot. The
conversation turned on this coat, which
Head still had on. Wells said the hoy had
told him something, which Head denied,
and insisted on Wells accompanying him
up to Hardaway & White’s to inquire of
Henry if he had said it. The next that
was seen or heard of them Head was de
nouncing and cursing Wells, after which
he knocked him down. Wells, as he arose,
picked up a brickbat, but before he could
throw it, Head exclaimed, “don’t you
throw that brick at me,” and immediately
fired, the ball passing through Wells’ body,
just above the navel.
Wells was taken to Mr. Mann’s stable,
and after bis wound had been attended to,
he was removed to his mother’s residence.
Head was arrested, taken before the
and sent Jo jail.
Wells is about 18 years of age, is a
printer by occupation, and was by no 1
means a match for Head in a fist fight.—
Head is a well known desparado, having
heretofore killed two or three men, and
weighs about IGO pounds. Wells would
not weigh more than 120. As we have
said before, the excitement on the streets 1
was intense, and had any one suggested
lynching at the Mayor’s otlice, it would
undoubtedly have been done.
We learn that the attending physician
has no hone of the recovery of voung
Wells. °
