VOLUME XXXVIIL—NO. 41.
4 fwc Shake Hands over the ({aarrcl ?
From the London Times of Dec. 5.
The feelings which now divide the United States
into antagonists far more bitter than those of di
verse languages and races, are themselves facts
which cannot be reasoned away, and they have an
irresistible bearing on the practice of slavery; Bier
must tend to tighten the grasp of the slave-owi
on the one hand; and, on the other, to provoke
the fanaticism and the ingenuity of the abolitior <t..
The Southern States see in this election a pledge
of further and still more unscrupulous efforts lor
the rescue and eman< ipation of the Negro.
The very language of the Southern States
breathes personal apprehension and defiance. It
is vain to dispute the danger, but at lea3t it m.rf
he met with reason. As ihn Southern States ccr
i-iinly would no* mend mailers hy a separation,
and as the Northern States can do uothmg, and
have done nothing, to mitigate the evils for which
they profess so much abhorrence, all that can b<
done is to take a moderate and rational view of
the subject. To bo'h *he Noitnero and Sou l a-ru
States we beg to suggest hai his happened in
this country. A lew year.- ago all Eugf ud w- rn,
crying mad over a story which certainiv wo- a
masterpiece of writing. The first inpres-i< . v -
that which the writer intended—an unnuu ub
horror of Slavery and indignation again
slave master.
Never was eloquence better listened .o; never
had an argument fairer play, for at least l,ooo.f>j<
British men and women read or listened to
book in the silence of their homes, and the foii
advocate carried the sympathies spell-bound to tho
last page. What is now the result ? We are a
fair and reasoning people. We have looked into
the condition of the Negro, as described bv th
novelist. We have ‘* realized” the “ institution.”
We have apprehended the greatuess of tbe facte,
and asK ourselves, “What can bo done ?” Wo
reflected with what difficulty we get over—if wo
do get over—our own social mischiefs and scan
dais. There is no use in violent language, we say
to ourselves; what is to be done? That is t!:
question. We have, too, been made aware, and
have had it brought home to our conscience, ti at
we consume largely ot slave grown cotton, and
and sugar, and coffee, nd the very paper on which
a million copies of Uncle Tom's Cabin were spread
over this country was made irom -lave produce.
Returning thus to our senses, to our reason, and
to our conscience, we have come to take a much
quieter view of the “domestic institution.” We
leel for the slaves, but we feel also for the master.!,
and we have sati-fied ourselves that it does i c
good to the former to abuse the latter. Wc are
av.are t too, that slavery was a British bequest to
the States. AH these considerations apply quite as
much, and more nearly by -everai degrees, to iht
northern States. May not this quarrel give way tp
a calm, in which the real difiieulties of the ques
tion will be met and quietly answered? It is tea
true that tiic commerce of the United States in
almost, if not quite as much committed to Slavery
as its agriculture. For what would New York to
without Slavery? But what, alas! would Liverpool
and Manchester? What this metropolis? Cannot
the partners in this business put their heads toge
ther, shake hands over the quarrel, and think w’hut
can be done to mitigate what it is so difficult t<
abolish? Perhaps we speak to the deaf, but any
thing is better than dividing State against State,
Ito use against house, and servant against master in
me most narkm in the world.
Letter from (lie Ifou, AtJ>u;> liuii,
Athens, Dec. 24, 1860.
To the Voters of Clarke county:
Fellow-Citizens—You, or a portion of you, hare
conferred on me the honor of a nomination for
delegate to the approaching State Convention.
It is a position I have in no way sought, and
may involve a responsibility that I would most
willingly have avoided but the expressed wish of
those to whom I am so much indebted as the peo
ple of Clarke county, does not leave me at liberty
to decline.
I, therefore, accept the nomination, and if elect
ed, will, to the best of my ability, serve you in
the Convention.
So far as I know, there is but a shade of differ
ence existing in this county, as to the true policv
of Georgia in this crisis. I had earnestly hoped
there would have been but one set of candidate*
in the field, and that there would have been no
contest among us. I regret that it is not so, aud
the fact that there 13 any diversity makes it proper
that I bould give a brief and frank statement of
my own views.
I will not *ke un your r-Ve with reviewing tb
j ps- pf-s o >t come:-.; <>t w v u hove heard
Iso much for ten years. It has n suited in the dt>
( feat of the South by a hostile sectional party,
which will come into power on thg 4ih of March
ioext. The unanimous sentiment of Geivgi* ip,
I that we cannot, without new and *-ff- ctual gu. u u-
Itees, submit to the rule of su< h a party. I * e
heard n< man in Clarke say othi raise
Te o 1- difference ol opinio., seen - ■> 5- c
this point, whether or trot it Is worth b* t
make one more ellort in the Uuion to t *
* guarantees for our lights; and this is about to . e
j tried, as our able Senator, Mr. Toombs, has au
jnounced his intention to ten that rna'ter without
delay. If successful (of which I confess I have
but little hope) well; if the tendency will be,
more firmly to unite the Southern people.
The result, however, will be known when the
Convention assembles, and jf elected, I shall hold
myself free and uotranimeled to vote aa my best
judgment may then dictate, to advocate prompt
and final action, or a reasonable delay, as may
seem best for Georgia and our sister States, idet>
; tided with us in their institutions and interests.
It is due to candor, howerer, while I hold my.
] self thus at liberty, (and on no other terms would
I I consent to be a candidate) to avow, that from
(the lights now before me, and in view of anytbii r
siwt seems at all likely to occur, I think the pat’ty
of wisdom, honor and -atetj tor my native State
i-s promptly aud without unnecessary delay, to link
j her destinies with the co-term mous States, from
whose interests and institutions Providence has
made ojtr,c inseparable.
ou iiive so far as I am informed, required
: any pledges of jytur candidates. Disti uatful of my
i own judgment, it fcj.ll be my duty aud pleasuie, if
! elected, to take couns-l with the sages and wise
■ men of the State, to do Hut which their united
| wisdom may dictate for the greatest good.
■ Respectfully, yours, Ac
