SATURDAY MORNING NOV. 8.

AutLSUriry In the South.
Our comments of October 23d upon tbe
extraordinary position assumed on this subject
by the Constitutionalist & Republic, were
intended as a protest, not as an argument.
We did not and do not consider the question
“whether there is or not an ami-slavery party
in Georgia t ” as at all a debatable question.
We do not desire to give any countenance
whatever to the supposition that it is a subject
of any doubt, or admitting of any discussion.
The Constitutionalist and Republic, of the
24th ultimo, reiterates however, and attempts
to prove the assertion, that there exists “a
very considerable anti-slavery party in our
midst.” The fact adduced by us as a com
ment on the assertion (i. e. that of the 30
largest slaveholding Counties in the State, 35
gave majorities to Mr. Cobb) it explains by
the oon&dent expression of opinion that “in
most of those very Counties a majority of the
slaveholders voted for Gov. McDonald.’’ To
yfhkc. no other reply would seem necessary than
confident expression of our opin
ion to the contrary. There is no certain mode
of ascertaining which class of voters in any
County supported a particular candidate.
From our own means of observation, and
from the circumstances which probably affec
ted voters, our opinion is precisely opposite
to that of the Constitutionalist A Republic.
In every Congressional District in the State
Mr. Cobb received a majority vote. Is there
an anti slavery party in every District 1 In
the largest slaveholding Counties he received
majorities. In the smallest slaveholding Conn
ties he received majorities. His triumph was
universal. We do not therofore consider
that there is any foundation for the distinction
made by the Constitutionalist. It certainly
has offered no proof of it. So far as the
possession of a large slave interest was calcu
lated to influence votes, its ff ect was to lean
to the side of stability rather than to that of
change, of an inclination to which, justly or
unjustly, the Southern Rights party was cer
tatnly suspected.
“The large majority he (Mr. Cobb) has
obtained is decisive evidence of tbe existence
of a very considerable anti-slavery party in
our midst.” This is the statement of tbe
Coostitutiona'ist A Republic. Qua modo?
Ilow does it prove it f We deny the infe
rence, and ask for the chain of proof. By
its reply we learn that the decisive evidence is
only in the “dare say” that it means existed to
ascertain the vote, the majority of slaveholders
wculdbß found on the side of Gov. MoDon
ald. The present assertion proves no more
than the past. The “dare lay” having been
made in the former article, the proof would
now have found its appropriate place. No
particle of proof is offered. The grave charge
rests barely on the opinion of the Constitution,
alist & Republic.
The charges against Mr. Johnson we will
not arguo. The vsry letter calling forth the
certiflcates quoted by the Constitutionalist «&
Republic, gave as the reason of calling for
them the denial of Mr. Johnson that be held
some of the opinions ascribed to bim. He
did not therefore run upon those opinions.
His avowed ground was that of the Georgia
Platform, pledging him to resist some of the
very measures it was implied he might favor.
Without reference to the merits of the con
troversy i is evident that he ran on no such
issues, and his election was no endorsement of
the sentiments imputed to him.
Nor do the “fruitful themes for comment”
suggested by tho speech of Mr. Summers
delivered 19 years ago furnish more matter
for reflection on slavery than do the speeches
of the former editor of the Republic (now
co-editor es the Constitutionalist A Republic)
at a less interval, to wit, of 17 years, furnish
for reflection upon State Rights and State
Sovereignty. If the latter is at liberty to en
f* tain a change es sentiment, perhaps tbe
former may be allowed the like privilege, and
the following be admitted as defining tbe
present position of Mr. Somhkbs. It is
taken from a published and widoly circulated
letter:
“ I voted to insert that provision in the new
Constitution which specifically prohibits emancipa
tion. 1 stated expressly that even without such a
clause the Legislature would have no right to
emancipate.
11 1 am a slaveholder myself to a considerable
amount. lam at fixed in my opposition to all
and every scheme, State or Federal , calculated to
of ect the value or security of slave property at
any man in the Commonwealth. ’
This was going out of Georgia to sustain a
charge made upon some of her people, ai.d
we need have given it no reply. We furnish
the extract however as an act of justice to
Mr. Summers.
But the Cherokee country furnishes an
item of proof. The true solution of the ex
traordinary vote of Mr. Cobb is to be found
in the faot that of the Counties where slaves
bear tbe smallest numerical proportion to
freeman (i. e. in Cherokee) he received his
heaviest vote. “Judging from past political
affinities those Counties would have vited for
Gjv. McDonald.” The disproportion be
tween the number of slaveholders and non
glaveholdera Tarnishes the “true solution” of
their vote.
This handsome compliment to the Chero
kee population will doubtless be held by them
in (rateful and everlasting remembrance.
We fancied that a plea for their misconduet
in voting for Mr. Cobb, more jast and mere
honorable, might have been found in their
love of consistency, in their adherence to that
dootrine of non intervention held by the De
mocrats during the old alignment of parties,
and once held by the Constitutionalist itself
Mr. Cobb remaioed firm—staunch to the
creed. On the other portion* of ’he creed its
own acknowledgements show him sound, for
it “makes no charge of anti-slavery sentiments
against Mr. C«bb, and asserts that “he is and
baa uniformly been upon all practical ques
tions es legislative policy, a Democrat, as be
tween Democracy and Federalism.”
Why then should past “political affinities”
have drawn them away, or for that matter, have
drawn even the Constitutionalist itself, from
the snpport of Mr. Cobb f
By the way, out of what material does the
Constitutionalist & Republic propose the “ re
organization of the Democratic party in Geor
gial” The Cherokee Democracy cons'ittf’e
a very important wing of it. Yet their vote it
is whioh furnishes a part of the proof of the
existence, in our raids’, of the very considera
ble anti-slavery party we are discoursing of.
“ Slaves are fewest in proportion to white
population” in Cherokee; and this that paper
eoasiders the true solution of the extraordina
ry vota which Mr. Cobb received.
Does it pant now for a resumption of for
mer “ political affinities” with these unsound
Cherokee Democrats, and for a reorganization
of the Democratic party out of auti-slavery
elements T
The next fact furnished by the Constitution
alist and Republic as “ not devoid of evidence
of tbe existence of an anti-slavery party in
oar midst,” most produce a startling effect
upon one of the colleagues in the editorial
department of that paper. The repeated elec
tion of Mr. Stephens, after his Texas annex
ation speech is the fact referred to. The re
election of this distinguished gentleman cer
tainly met with no open opposition, and we
suppose was not entirely unaided by the ef
forts of one of the editors of the ConstitutioDu
alist A Republic. If it furnishes evidence of
the existance, in our midst, of an anti-slavery
party, why does not the same fact bring it
nearer home than tbe midst of Georgia—into
tbe very sanctum of the Constitutionalist A
Republic office ? Which horn of the dilemma
docs the Constitutionalist choose; to aoknow.
ledge the snpport of Mr. Stephens no evi
dence of anti-slavery propensities, or to hug
the charge of anti-slavery to its own bos m?
But we need notice no furthur their futile
aud partial arguments. We repeat tbe posi
tion assumed in our former article, that we do
not fasten the stigma of anti-slavery upon our
political friends or foes. Let not abolition take
to itself aid and comfort from tbe cheering fact
that there is an anti-slavery party in Georgia.
So far is it from being the cate, that such a
party has arisen, that on the contrary we do
not believe public sentiment at the Bouth wn
ever sounder than at present. Tbe discussion
of the subject has removed the doubts of even
those who oace entertained doubts upon it.
At no former time, since the days in which
Jefferson and others of our distingnished an
cestors looked upon it wi’h ungrounded suspi
cion, has there been the same hear’y confi
dence, founded too upon enlightened investi
gation, in not merely the neoeesity of the in
stitution at fixed upon us by fate, bat in its
perfect conformity to Scriptural morality. For
the truth of this assertion!, we fearlessly appeal
to all reflecting and observing men.
We have shown the exceeding'flimsiness of
the arguments advanced in support of the very
i grave charge of the Cowatitutionalist A Repub
lic upon a portion of oar people. All that
abolition wants to induce it to bind its state
ment as a frontlet between its eyes, is endorse
ment enough to secure its confidence. We
shall not endorse it even by silence, and here
take occasion again, in the name and behalf of
the Union party and the d eople of Georgia, to
protest against the imputa lion contained in the
assertion.
Tax writer of the article under the title
“Anti-Slavery in the South,” would beg
leave to state that the long intervals between
the appearance of the articles commented on
in the Constitutionalist A Republic, and his
strictures on tbe same, has not been entirely
occupied in “ehewing tbe caJ of sweet and
bitter fancies.” During a large part of tbe
time be has been absent from home, and when
there, engaged in ether duties.
Consul Owe* and Mat. Tbbasheb.— lt will
be seen by the Telegraphic intelligence from
New York, copied in another column, that an
other effort is to be made, or is making, to oust
Consul Owe*. In this instance, because he has
not interfered to ootain a release of Mr. Tmbabm
eb, who has been arrested and imprisoned by tbe
Cuban authorities, under a charge of being con
cerned or connected with the Loras expedition.
To show how ridiculous this attempt is, it is on
ly necessary to mention the fact that Mr.
Thzashsb, although a native American, has been
several years a resident of Havana and for
aught we know a citizen of Spain. He has at
any rate expatriated himself as an American citi
zen, and ia no more entitled to the protection of
this government than any other citizen es Cuba.
It would therefore have been the height of im
pertinence in Mr. Owen to have attempted in
his official capacity to interfere in his case.
II he had thought proper in his private ca
pacity to have used his influence with the au
thorities for bis relief, no objection could or
would bo made, but in an official character, it
would have been an interference which no gov
ernment possessing the slightest self respect
would or ought to toLerato.
Mr. Tbbasnex went to Cuba on a private
speculation, a mere e,dventurer in the publica
tion of a newspaper, and became a permanent
resident, thus cutting all claim to the pro
tection of the American government; and how
ever we may sympathise with him, we cannot
condemn Mr. Owxh for not interfering in his
official character to obtain his release.

THINGS IN MILLEDGEVILLE.
Correspondence of the Chronicle and Sentinel.
Milledokvillk, Nov. 5.
Mr. Editor :—But little was done to day, ia
either branch of the General Assembly, apart
from the interesting, beautiful and imposing
ceremony of setting tbe new administration
in motion. The res olution of tbe House, fix.
ing to morrow for the election of a Judge of
tbe Supreme Court, an Attorney General,
Ac., was amended in the Senate, ao far as to
include an election for aU. S. Senator. The
proposition, however, met with much opposi
tion, but was at last ao opted by the olose vote
es 34 yeas to 23 nays. Tbe amended resolu
tion was forthwith sent to the House, which
refused to concur in the amendment.
Bills introduced in the Senate.
By Mr. Anderson, to incorporate the Mag
nolia Steam Packet {Company. I have been
informed that this bill contemplates the estab
lishment of a line of steam packets between
Savannah and Pilatka, Fla.
By Mr. Harman, a bill to empower Juries
to authorize defendants, in cases of absolute
and total divoree. to,marry again during tbe
lifetime of the libellant. The provisions of
this bill may be clearly infer r ed frem its cap
tion.
No business of general interest was transac
ted in the Honee, and both branches adjourn
ed a little after one, to ten o’clock to morrow.
Inangnration of the Governor eleot.
It was announced this morning by the
Chairman of the Committee, named on yester
day, to wait on Mr. Cobb, to inform him of
his election as Governor, and request his ac
ceptance of tbe office, that be had performed
that duty, and had received for answer, tbat
Mr. Cobb would accept the appointment, sad
would attend to day, at 12 M. in the Repre
sentative Hall, to take the oath,prescribed by
the Constitution.
Soon after 11 o’clock, the people began to
assemble from nil quarters apparently ia one
continuous stream. Before noen, the entire
Hall, as well as tbe gallery, seemed incapable
of affording space forjsny more. The whole
presented a scene upon whieh it wae pleasant
for the eye to rest. This eounty and those
surrounding it mnst have conspired to fornish
the mass of beauty and fashion, and matronly
grace and dignity there collected. It was
rather gratifying, toe, to observe the jnnior
members of tbe Legislature. Here was a
time when they were called open to doff the
gravity es Legislators, and descend, se to
speak, to the civilities of social life. And right
well satisfied did some of them seem te be,
with the transmutation. If the many graceful
bows and winning smites which I noticed,
were not irresistibly captivating, they should
have been. If I have not allnded to the senior
members thns particularly, it must not be in
ferred hence, that they did not Bestow upon
the matrons aforesaid, a I those ripe attentions
which were expected from their years and
experience. They did.
At noon, the Senate was announced. At
the rap of the Speake’ra gavel, every head was
uncovered to receive th'e Senators, who en
tered by twos, ranging themse’.ves on each
side of the isle of the House, the President,
being of course seated on tbe right of the
Speaker. A few moments after, perfect quiet
ness prevailing, another rap is heard, and the
Governor with the Governor elect, followed
by their reap*ctive Secretaries, tbe Judges of
the Supreme and Superior Courts, State
House officers and other offieials, all entered,
taking positions between the Senators, except
tbe Governors, who were on the Speaker’s
stand. All things being ready, Mr Cobb,
arose with grace end calmness, Q,u<’e natu
rally his eye must have fallen upon a mass of
beauty, immediately in front, whose every eye,
quite as naturally, was wetted upon him, the
cause of the assemblage. He began with a
clear and fall voice—“ Senators and Repre
sentatives.” For a few seconds, I fancied,
perhaps, bis voice flattered. But fall as quick
ly he recovered his self-possession and compo
sure, and for twenty minutes, in a bold and
manly tone of voice and in a passionate and
eloquent style, he addressed the assembled
multitude. His address, I do not doubt, is
precisely what the friends of tbe Union, as it
is, expected from him. Abounding, as it does
in sound American doctrine and patriotic sen
timents, it will command the approbation of
every friend of Constitutional freedom every
where. Having finished his remarks, he took
the oath of office, received the Great Sea!
from the hands of the retiring Governor,
which he transferred to the Secretary es State,
and was then formally proclaimed Governor
of this State for the casuing two years. The
Senators then withdrew to their Hail, and
afterwards the visitors, with perfect order and
decorum. L.

Railroad Co.
“ A hint to the wise ia sufficient.”
Permit we gentleman to call your attention to
the system of hiring annually the Negroes em
ployed on the road, which I think very preju
dicial to our mutual interests. We now pay for
Negroes 8120 to 8150 each per annum, whieh is
a very high rate of Interest on their tost.
Would it not be much better to purchase and
own all our laborers, than pay such priees for
them? I think so, as a mere matter of econo
my. Besides, they would then soon become
more familiar with their duties and be much
more easily managed. Whereas now, every
year a large portion of them are new hands,
who rsqaire to learn their duties, and are much
more difficult to control. This I think is the
concurrent opinion of all tho overseers and
superintendants, and I submit the matter for the
consideration of the stockholders and Board of
Directors. ▲ Stockholbeb.

CHARLESTON, Nor. 7. Cotton.— Tho Cotton
market for several days prior to (he date of our last
publication—which it will be recollected had been
extended in consequence of the appointment of Thuro
day as a day of thanksgiving—was in rather a lan
guid and drooping condition, and when we dosed
our inquiries, prices were in favor of pnrchasers, to
the eitent perhaps el }c. While this fact was ad
mitted, it waa deemed advisable at the same time
not to reduce our quotations in consequence of the
diversity of opinion as to the true position of the mar
ket, and we therefore renewed our former rates, viz j
Middling to good Middling 7) a 7|; and Middling
Pair and Pair, 8 a Bs. The market exkibited no
new feature on Saturday last. The transactions
were confined to somo 1200 bales, and prioaa contin
ued decidedly weak. Thus stood the position of
affairs, when advices from New York reached ns on
Monday, advising a decline of }e. in that market,
which waa followed by tbe unfavorable accounts by
the Pranklin, which came to band oa Monday. Dar
ing these two days the transactions showed a vary
unsettled and depressed market, which clsaed oaths
latter day at a further reduction in prices, which,
however, was principally felt in the Middling and
lower classifications, tbe higher qualities baring been
but aligh'ly affected in consequence es their scaroity,
A good business was done on Wednesday at about
corresponding rates, if we except the dam of Cotton
denominated Pair, which suffered very little depre
ciation owing ts the limited quantity en sale, and
such may also be said of the sales of Thursday. The
week closes at tbe subjoined quotations, and by
compir ng them with those current on the Ist. inst.,
the date of our last issue—it will be seen that all
qualities are 1 to jo. lower than they were nt (hat
period. Tho transactions in the five days sum op
6 909 bales against tbs receipt in the same time of
7,245 boles. The actual sales comprise 19 bales at

day previous were acarcely maintained, but there

For many yean the subject of this brief notice
had lived in comparative retirement, and bad eon
fined her aoeial intercourse to a few ohocan friends,
in her immediate neighborhood. Though from this
cause, she was almost unknown te the public, yet
to thoeo who knew her, she eom wended herself in
ne ordinary degree by her many virtues. Her
•hiid-like simplicity, her affectionate and grateful
disposition, the native refinement and delicaov of
her eharaeter, and her unaffected goodness, seo'ured
for her the sincere regard, and ooritial attachment
of the little circle In which she moved. By them
she will be truly lamented, and long remembered.
