THE FEDERAL UNION, ( Cornerof Hancock and. IVilkinsonstreets.) OPPOSITE THEEOPBTIIOL'SE. *«•!;«HTolrTtflSBKT & CO., State Printers. Tuesday Morning, September 26, 1805. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. J. J. Robertson &■ Co., Augusta, Ga., have a card in our paper, to which we invite the attention of the public. H. Tinsley, agent, has just received a stock of new goods from New York.

Davis, has a word to Country Merchants, which they will plcaso read. The Milledgevilie Hotel is opened under the charge of S. & R. A. McComb, who will make it a first class house in every respect. W. T. Conn’s Variety Store, is full of new goods, toys, &c. See advertisement. C. J. Wellborn has received new goods. His store is at the Post Office. Honesty in Alabama.—'We see that on a test vote in the Convention of Alabama 34 voted in favor of repudiating the State debt and 58 against it. For the credit of Alabama we rejoice to see that so large a majority of her Convention are in favor of paying their just debts. We regret to see that even 34 members of her Convention should be in favor of repudiation. The 4'on veil li»Ji—I In - naj lo linrmouize. It is known to tho intelligent reader that there are conflicting opinions as to what is the best course to be pursued by the Convention. Some want as little done as possible. We are of this number. Others, are for making some very im portant changes in the Constitution; and others still, advocate a thorough and radical clearing out of all objectionable, features in the State Consti tution. Now, we think, that there can be a com promise of all these opinions on the following ba sis of action: On the first day let a committee be appointed to report, next day, three ordinances: one re scinding tho ordinance of secession, passed Jan uary 19th, 1861 : Another, declaring the abolition of slavery; and another looking to the organi zation of the State, and fixing a day of election. Pass these three ordinances through with as little discussion as possible. Send them to the Provis ional Governor for approval! and request him to forward them w ithout delay to the President. He might do so by telegraph, and get the President’s reply in a few hours thereafter. That these ordi nances will be adopted by the Convention, does not admit of a doubt. Why not then act on them first? By so doing, that portion of the Conven tion, which is in favor of doing as little as possi ble, will be satisfied. When this much has been accomplished, and the President's sanction re ceived, then the way is open for doctoring the State Constitution. By following this line of pol icy, the election for Governor and members of the Legislature may be ordered by Gov. Johnson as early as the 15th of November, and the Legisla ture may be in session as early as Wednesdiy the 6th of December. It is very important that the Legislature should assemble before Christmas. Every intelligent man will understand why it should be so, without giving particular reasons. We believe that the plan we have suggested above will meet the approbation of a majority of the Convention, be acceptable to the Governor and the President, and more thoroughly harmon ise conflicting opinions, than any we have yet seen advanced. These views might be elaborated, but they are thrown out as suggestions, and will, we hope, «ommend themselves to the intelligent men of the State. Alabaum State Debt. On the 15th inst., n test vote was taken in the Ala bama Slate convention, on the question of repudiation of the State debt, and decided yeas 34, nays 58. This decisive vote will settle the question yj Alabama. The following is a statement of the State Debt as f.irnisbed by the Comptroller General of Alabama.

The negroes cannot read,- aLd may not be informed of this order unless wliite persous tell them. We hope, therefore," that our planters, especially, will make known this order to the negroes. — MV PLAN. Messrs. Editors : I see in the Southern Recorder of the 19tb inst., some suggestions, in the way ot heads, for amending the State Constitution. Now let mo briefly give you my ideas about the duties of the approaching State Convention, and tLey are as follows: First—Organise. Second—Adopt rules. Third—Rescind the ordinance of Secession, passed on the 19th day of January, 1861, and de clare all acts of that Convention, in conflict with the laws and Constitution of the United States, null and void, and do this without debate. Fourth—Declare negro slavery abolished. Fifth—Re-distiict the Slate, or make such changes in the present system as may be neces sary. ■ Sixth—Declare all acts of the General Assem bly of the State, passed during the war, in con flict with the laws and constitution of the U. S. and the emancipation proclamation, to be null and void—those not in conflict of full force and effect. Seventh—Appoint the first Wednesday in De cember, 1865, for the election of Governor, mem bers of Congress and members of the Legislature. Eighth—Appointthe second Wednesday id Jan uary, 1866, for the meeting of the General Assem- of the State at Milledgevilie. Ninth—Provide for the payment of the officers and members of the Convention, and all claims against the Provisional Government of Georgia. Tenth—Adjourn and go home. Now, Messrs Editors, the work I have cut out here, for the Convention, can be disposed of in one week. It ought to he done in three days. DISPATCH. A CARD - To tU voters of Ba'dicin county : Although I have unhesitatingly refused up to the present time to suffer myself to be announced as a candidate for a seat in the approaching Convention, a change, however, lias come over my feelings in this respeet. However averse I may have been at first, to occupy the attitude ot an aspirant to so responsible a position, my reluctance has since in a great measure been overcome by the earnest and renewed solicita tions of those who have approached me upon this sub ject. Feeling now no longer disposed to oppose my former inclination to their wishes, I deem it due to them and to you to indicate the measures which I shall support should you think fit to honor me with a seat in the Convention. 1 shall endeavor to do this in a brief and summary manner and without resorting to atgn- mentation in advocacy of my particular views. To begin with the beginning, I shall vote for a repeal of the Ordinance of secession, and for the insertion of a provision in our constitution inhibiting hereafter the existenceof negro slavery within the limits of the Srtite. These two measures, 1 consider indispensably neces sary to regain our former position in the Union and thereby free us from the oppression of military domi nation.” There are other measures of secondary impor tance, which, in my opinion, are essential to a proper | administration of our public affairs and which may be equally so to carry into effect the provisions of a newly organized system of government. These relate to the tenure of the Executive office—to the retention ot the Supreme Court,—to the mode of electing Judges ef the Superior Courts—and to the rearrangement of our Congressional and Legislative districts. . In regard to the first, I shall vote that the Governor be ineligible to office a second time until after the expiration of an interval equal to the term of his office, thereby guard ing against the corrupting influence of continued Dat- ronage to a particular class of individuals, who from selfish considerations Btand prepared to defend mid applaud every Executive measure whether right or wrong. I shall vote for the retention of the Supreme Court as one of thechiel pillars of ourpoliticaledifk-e, establishing uniformity of decision by its supervisory power over inferior Judicatories and thus enabling us to understand what are our rights under the operation of our laws;—for the Judges «1 the Superior Courts to be elected by popular suffrage and by this means ren dering them independent of and beyond the control of the party prejudice cf a partisan Executive; fora reorganization both of our Congressional and Legisla tive districts in order that any inequality in the first tnny be remedied, and in the last, that the people, in their present impoverished condition ma)- not be over taxed to raise a revenue to pay the members of nearly fifty counties whose taxes in more prosperous times have proved inadequate for this purpose. Such are the views which I entertain upon these various sub jects and should they be iu accordance with your own. I will endeavor to the extent Of my ability to have them incorporated in the constitution of our State.— I might indeed, extend my remarks in regard to a poli cy not unfrequently alluded to and which if adopted would inevitably leave afoul and indelible stain upon the hitherto unsullied reputation of our noble old State; I refer particularly to the repudiation of its indebtedness; but as the subject belongs exclusively to the province of our Legislature, I have perhaps already said enough in speaking of its detrimental effects to show my aversion and opposition to that mistaken policy. Oue more word, and that in relation to myself, and I have nothing further to say. Others. I know have preoccupied the field in advance of myself,—and it preoccupation gave a preferable and an exclusive claim you who have known me long and well, know full well, I am not the man voluntarily to trespass upon an admitted right, or to innovate upon an established usage. J. W. A. Sasfqbt). Orsunances-Tassf.i>.—Tbe Convention on' Monday passed an ordinance so amending tbe State Constitution ns to enlarge-tfie jurisdiction of Magistrates’- Courts,-to* cases involving,one hnndied iiibteadrtlf Sip-former-provision restrict ing the amount tq.lifty<clbllars. - This was necessary iff'order to give’a speedy trial at as iiitla.'cpka'aarpossible in numerous dees arising in the prtssent unsettled slate of atiairs. Another consideration in favor of the action is, that the office of Justice is thus made of snffi cient interest and character to iuduce men of-abil- ity to seek ttie position, and the people will see the importance of electing such to protect their own interests. The Conveniion yesterday passed an ordinance declaring that an election shall be held in this State on the first Monday in November for Gov ernor, incmbeis of the Legislature, and all tbe county officers, tinder the laws now in force, ex cept Prebate Judges ; and also for the election of Mayor. Cuuncilmen a id Aldermen lor Mobile, end for Mayor, Aldermen and Clerk for Montgom ery, on the first Monday in December. The General Assembly elected under this ordi nance will meet in Montgomery on the third Mon day in November. it will tbus be only about two months till A1 abama will be on her old footing again, so far as her internal government is concerned. it will be observed that no day is set for the election of members in Congress, the Governor be ing authorized to issue writs of election. The ob ject of this apparent omiss^in is to allow time for the State to be apportioned and re districted, after w hich the Governor will, it is presumed, order an election as soon as possible. The omission of a day for electing Circuit and Probate Judges probably has reference to some actic-n changing the mode in which tbe election of these officers, or some of them, shall take place; or it may be that the higher Courts are not so much needed immediately as legislative and exec utive officers to meetMhe existing demands of the community without aresort in those judicial con structions which must, in the nature of things, follow altet wards.— Mont. Advertiser, 20ft. $18,646,831 60 What is to be done with Criminals?— Wc understand that l a persons convicted of crime were brought to this place last week. The Pen itentiary is iu no condition to receive them — Ought not the Legislature to be brought together at tbe earliest possible moment to provide for this, and other pressing matters of public interest ? By all means let us have a'si ssion of tbe Legisla ture before Christ mas. The public necessities de mand it. - !■— ♦ ■■■ ■ Gin House Burnt.—We regret to announce the burning of the Gin House, and 70 bales of Cotton, belonging to Mr. Zacliariah Edmondson of Putnam county, by fire, on Friday 15th of September. It was tho work of an incendiary. REPUDIATION —The Conventions in the States of Mississippi and Alabama have by decided ma jorities expressed their disapprobation of tbe pro position to repudiate the debt of their respective States. We have no doubt that Georgia's Con vention, if tho subject is brought before it, will • be equally emphatic in opposition to repudiation. ty If you want a bargain goto Joseph & Fas3’ New Store. ■— « Old Timm Revived.

Editors of Federal Union : Gentlemen ;—My name having been announced as a candidate for the -State Convention, I feel it obligatory to declare the opinions I entertain, and tbe course I tvould pursue if elected to that body. The dignity and prosperity of the State under present circumstances, require its speedy return to the Union ; and other political measures, however expedient, are of secondary importance at this time. Therefore to prevent delay and avoid the possi bility of disagreement. I would advocate only such alterations and amendments of the present Con stitution, as are necessary to restore the State to its former relation with the Federal Government,. I would for this reason favor as short a session of the Convention as possible, and coniine its action principally to the following duties: 1st. The repeal of tbe ordinance of secession 2d. The abolition of slavery and involuntary servitude, except for crime. 3d Re-districting the State, and providing for elections at a day as early as possible. To more’fully present my views, I will address the citizens of Baldwin county (if agieeableto them.) on next Saturday, at 11 o’clock, A. M., in Milledgevilie. Very respectfully, T. W. WHITE. Negro Suffrage —The National Intelligencer thinks it very clear that no party which might or ganize on the proposition to force negro suffrage by Federal usurpation on the Southern States could succeed before the people. It adds, “we do not believe that there are three Northern States which would sustain such an issue, if to-morrow fairly and squarely presented.” Good News to many.—We learn upon what we deem to be good authority, that a telegram has beeu received at the executive department from tho president stating that all persons coming un der the thirteenth exception of the amnesty pro clamation (the twenty thousand dollar clause,) who l ave filed their applications for pardon, and have ihe endorsement of the governor wiil be per mitted to vote for delegates to the convention. . [ Telegraph. Gen. Beauregard took the oath of alle giance on the 17th inst. He is still an applicant for pardon. 12T A Washington dispatch, of tho 17th, says: General Henry C. Wayne, of Georgia, son of Judge Wayne, of the United States Supreme Court, and major and quartermaster in the United States army before the war, has been pardoned by the president. General Wayne was in th*e militia service in Georgia, and never took, a very active part in the war. Resolutions cf the IYpw York Democracy. The following are the resolutions passed by the New York State Democracy at their late State Con vention ; 1. Resolved, That the past history of the De mocratic party is to be found in the proudest re cords of the country, and its creed in the Consti tution, and that it is ready to meet the great ques tions of the future with the patriotism, fidelity to principle, and practiced wisdom that have charac terized its long and auspicious identification with the history of tbe Union. 2. Resolved, That we congratulate the people of this State and of the .nation, upon the termina tion of the civil war and on tbe return of peace, and especially that the blessing is obtained with a preserved Union and undivided, country, and the reassertion of constitutional liberty throughout the land. • * 3 Resolved, That as the first fruits of this tri umph the people demand the subordination of the military to civil rule, the restitution of the author ity of the courts, and the recognition of the equal ity cf the States; that we regard all efforts, either by prolonging the military rule, or by denying the right of representation to the States, in order to compel them to adopt, negro equality or negro suffrage as an element of their Constitutions, as tending to delay and prevent the pacification of the country, and to subvert the principles of the Government, and endanger the liberties of the people. 4. Resolved, That in the plan of President Johnson for tho speedy reconstruction of the States late in rebellion to their old positions in tho Union—by commencing the work of recogni tion at the point cf secession, and confiding to those recognized as electors by the laws of the rtspcctive States, leaving the question of suffrage where the Constitution places it, to tbe future ac tion of the several States—we-recognize the en lightened statesmanship, sound political theory and old-fashioned time-honored regard for tbe re lations and rights of the States and the Federal Government, as established by the Constitution; and we pledge to the President, iu this great work, our cordial and energetic support. 5. Resolved, That while we stigmatize as alike /ajai to national prosperity and to the rights of labor ttve doctrine that a national debt is a nation al blessing, we recognize the obligation by which the whole resources of the country are pledged to the payment of the public debt: and we believe the interest and honor of the people are involved in its faithful fulfillment, and that all constitution al and legal means should be taken to compel those who hold the property of the country, real and personal, to share in the public burden, be lieving that equality of taxation is not only equi ty, but also tne soundest possible basis of public credit. 6. Resolved, That the thanks and gratitude of the people are due to tho soldiers and. sailors of the North, and to their brave commanders, who have illustrated the pages of our history with deeds of valor that elevate the fame of the people, and vindicate the character of republican govern ment. 7. Resolved, That the position originally taken by our Government in reference to the interfer- j ence of European powers with the people of this continent called the Monroe Doctriue, is a policy which has preserved peace and avoided foreign intervention, and cannot be abandoned without dishonor to ns as a power among the nations, nor without danger to democratic institutions. 8. Resolved, That the frank and generous ac ceptance by the Southern people of the condition iu which they have been left by the recent war, including t he abandonment of slavery, removes the main difficulties in the way of the restoration cf amicable feelings among the States, and that it should be met on the pai t of the Federal Govern ment, in a spirit of conciliation and kindness. 9. Resolved, That banishing all minor party considerations, and acting in the spirit of an en- laiged and generous patriotism we cordially sup port Piesident Johnson in the policy which he has avowed, to enable the States lately in revolt to put their Governments in practical operation, and in all such constitutional measures as they may in augurate to harmonize the country and restore ami cement a Union of States. Is it True ? We admire the New York News for the manliness and fearlessness which it con stantly evinces in repelling tbe slanders on the Southern States with which tbe radical presses abound, and for its stern adherence to principle and the Constitu tion under all circumstances. But. we find credited to it a statement made, and an indignant denunciation of the circumstance referred to, which wc believe to have na real foundation. It says that its inform ant, “instructed and guided by a friendly negro, discovered and collected in the cabins of the black population within the limits of llussell county, Ala., concealed firearms amounting in value to over three thousand dollars not miscellaneous arms that might have been collected by the ne groes from various quarters, hut “they were virgin to powder and ball, and supe riorin finish and power and destruction to any weapons used by the Confederate ar mies.” Adjacent to Russel county as this city is, it is very strange that we have never heard of such a discovery of arms in the hands of the negroes, if they really had* them. We think that the News has been imposed upon in this particular. (Columbus Enquirer.
