COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, TUESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 2,1853.
Political.
Judgo Johnson on Universal Suffrage.
’ “Another eharaeteristio of American institutions,
is. tiir.t they arc decidedly popular and have their
h'-i fi i -■ in public opinimi. Tile relationship of the
| Federal ami Stale Governments is so adjusted, that
| the existence of both depends upon popular sup
port. All poiver emanates from and resides in the
; people. Hence, the obvious for the Gov.
j eminent to pursue sncii a curse of policy, as to
impress every citizen with the identity between
his own and his country’s interest. Each must
j fee! that he can promote his own only by promo
ting the ‘public gout. These propositions grow out |
of the very structure of our Republic ; and they |
: are too axiomatic to require demonstration. And |
they naturally suggest the importance of a strict ad- i
i herence to oar Constitution, by our rulers, and the ;
j cultivation of an ardent attachment to the Union j
1 of the States by all : a sentiment impressively en- j
I forced by all the prominent incidents of onr -ast j
: history. Every man ought to fee I,Bher to the ex- j
tent of h s influence, he is morally and politically
responsible fur the result of our great experiment |
iat self Government. Snell a feeling would lead to !
i reflection, caution and prudence : to examination j
; into the extent, bearing and obligations of duty. j
’ “But bow are such sentiments and feelings to be
: inculcated It cannot be accomplished in any
j other manner, so efficient and directly, as by an
unrcstrictcl exercise of the elect ire franchise, a right
; wh ch most ol the States have granted, subject to
j such eom.it otis and qualifications as are deemed !
rtnve-sary for self-protection. This brings every |
“n.ui directly in contact with his moral and politi- t
i cal obligations, and tarnishes him with a tangible I
’ standard by which he may measure the exte.it of !
his high responsibilities. And if the moral sense i
\ be enlightened, and tbe judgment informed, the I
patriot can have none other than solemn reflections. !
in casting his tote It is an act which must tell !
! for “weal or woe’ upon the destinies of his coun- i
try, which may operate upon the interests of unborn j
j millions, and decide questions which involve the
hopes and happiness < f the world.
“And besides, the right of universal suffrage
j brings every citizen into a species of copartnership
alliance with toe whole political mas- associated for
1 purposes of Ciovsrnment. To use a business ex
| pression, it ‘gives It m an inierest in the concern,’
j and inspires him with a consciousness of his own
! importance. Let him have s voice iu the elevation ;
j ol those who are to enact the. laws by which * he is j
to be governed, and the title to his homestead is to ;
ho regulated, and the lowliest Yeoman, while he ,
| toils tor his tltnly bread , and the sweat ot’ industry !
j drips from Ins manly btow, is happy in the thought,
that he is a freeman. His affections cluster with
i idolatrous devotion around the G wernment of his .
j choice, and if necessary for its defence, iie wilt free.
\ly pout out bis blood tis a hbuliou upon its al
: tars. A man animated with the spirit us liberty,

ol England, which denied her people the e.xeieise of j
the elective franchise. And even then, their j
j haughty mi treses deigned to pass an act, which al- I
I lowed them to vote only ‘or members of parjia- i
| meat and e> rporations, without taking the oath of
allegiance and supremacy. In 1798 a verier.l re
! hellion arose, which scarcely remitted in its fury, till
1829. Then, and not till then, did the clamor for
reform become sufficiently imvetative, to force the
1 parliament of England In pass the act of Catholic
emancipation.
“Then, and not t il then, were Catholics permitted

Theology in the Political Field.
The Whig press of Georgia has outraged j
| every principle of fairness and propriety in the j
! coarse and vindictive manner in which they have j
j assailed Judge Johnson, misrepresented his po- j
j litical opinions and slandered his religious sen- i
I timents. We fear not the result of such intern- i
| perance and injustice, believing fully that these |
I malignant blows will he parried and beat down j
! by the sound indignation ol'a virtuous and intelli- i
gent people.
It is time that political zealots who think, or j
act as if they thought, every thing is fair in poli- I
tics, and that success will sanctify any means |
I used for its ohtaimnent, should be taught their j
| error, ai.d the present canvass furnishes a fit op- j
i poitunitv for the people of Georgia to teach the
! lesson to the utter confusion of Judge Johnson’s j
j defuliters.-
The latest and most discreditable assault
I made on him, comes under an insidious guise—
i with an affectation of candor poorly simulated,
| and under circumstances of unusual atrocity.—
It comes from a correspondent of tiie Southern i
Recorder, a paper once edited in a gentlemanly ;
spirit hut which has fallen immensely in re- !
speetability since the withdrawal of its late edi
tor, Colonel Grieve, now Charge to Sweden,
That correspondent is no other than its editor,
and that editor no other than one who professes
: to bea Christian, and lias even, we understand,’
officiated as a clergyman.
At the late commencement of Wesleyan Fe
male College, Macon, Judge Johnson delivered j
a most able, chaste and elevated address, of ■
i which tiie Board ol Trustees have spoken in I
the highest terms of commendation.
The correspondent aforesaid thus speaks of
the address in the last Smith*-,'a Recorder : j
“One word more about the Commencement i
Address. I believe I expressed regret in my j
i last, that the learned and worthy speaker should j
| have so liberally diffused through his oration, j
i the fascinating, but as 1 believe, fatal dogmas of
I Swedenbourg. Judge Johnson lias a rignt to i
i entertain whatever opinions, to him, may seem j
most correct and proper, upon questions of this, !
as well as politics : hut I must doubt, very capi
; tally, whether the occasion referred to wasal- ;
I toirether appropriate to the propagation of j
■ views among the young, whicli are held to be j
j antiscrinturai by a majority of those who are
! believers in the truths of revealed religion, and :
| who have investigated the doctrines of .Sweden- ;
! tiourg.
j “I trust these obnoxious portions of the address
j will be expunged before it reaches tiie public I
eye. i am joined iu this desire by many of his I
political and personal friends, who, like tnvself,
admired and approved the main body of tiie ‘
speech.”
Now this assault is in tiie same spirit and
prompted by precisely the same motives which ‘
have called forth the slander that Judge John- \
son whs a believer in Spirit ltappings—a slander j
whicli has not the slightest foundation to excuse j
it, and which is yet shamelessly repeated in the ‘
face of authentative denial.
So with reference to Swedenbottrgiamsm.
What the peculiar dogmas of Swedenbourg,
which t he learned theologian of tiie Recorder j
deems anti-scriptural, and which he charges !
Judge Johnson with propagating, he does not j
venture to specify. There were others present j
nt the oration who were as firm believers in the !
j truths of revealed religion as himself, and quite ;
jas exemplary in the practice of its precepts.— i
’ Yet their religious sensibilities received no shock
—their orthodoxy perceived no challenge to re- !
j ligious combat, it was not the pious Christian :
; whose convictions were alarmed, hut the schem- j
i iug politician whose venom was awakened.
We hope the wish of the Reverend correspon
dent—a w ish we do not believe any personal or |
political friend of Judge Johnson united in—will j
I not lie gratified, that “the obnoxious portions of ,
I the address will be expunged before it reaches j
| tiie public eye.” That would be allowing the
I malignity of the correspondent to go undetec- i
ted b v tiie public eye, and therefore unrehuked, j
Let the whole address he furnished, and let the j
public judge between Judge Johnson and him j
who charges him with propagating anti seriptu
ral seutinyjnts. This is a matter wanton!v i
thrust before the religious community of the :
State. Let it decide as just men would decide.!
it, and in the spirit, uot of politicians, nor of ‘
sectarians, but in the spirit of true chrsiti
anity. .
Judge Johnson has been from his youth up an
exemplary Christian—a consistent member of
the Presbyterian Church, holding to its tenets
and obeying its requirements, and lias lived a
life* of blameless morality and purity. Not the
j first act of his, inconsistent with the duties of a
j Christian, have we yet heard alleged against
him. It is not in character with him as a man
or a Christian to avail himself of the delicate and
honorable position assigned him at Macon,
while addressing such an audience, to propa
gate doctrines and dogmas fatal to Christian
ity.
Wo would respectfully urge upon Judge John- i
son to take the field—appeal to the justice, and j
tiie good seuso of the people—make his appoint- :
ments at convenient and accessible places to I
address his fellow citizens, and invite his as- I
sailants, and all others who choose to enter the j
lists, to meet him face to face before iiis fellow- ;
citizens, and there discuss with him all the po
-I‘ticul and religious questions on which they
may choose to provoke controversy.
President Pierce and General Scott. —lt is said,
in tiie Crystal Palace, last'Thursday, when Presi
dent Pierce met General Scott he shook him warm
ly by the hand, and said : “All, Genet al, 1 never
expected to meet you on the same Platform.” Os
course, both laughed heartily at the joke.

for Congress in died on 4th in

water cure, and gives as a reason ;—"There is
Mr. (naming a noted political editor) he has been
lying in his damp sheet for twenty years, and lie's
worse now than ever.”

The Canvass,
To judge from the position which prominent
politicians of the State are now taking in the
canvass, we are inclined to think that the
chances are altogether in favor of the “Coon
killer.” Tho influence of Cobb, Wofford. Hill
yet* and other Union Democrats, of tiie titii Dis
trict, will doubtless be sufficient to bring the
l nioti Democracy of that section into the “re
organized” line. So, too, in the sth District.—
Lumpkin tY Chastain and others will bring down
the Cherokee beys almost en masse for Johnson,
j while McDonald and Warner and Glenn, no
j matter how they stand in the Congressional
i election of the 4th District, between Dent and
j Murphy, will lie sure to give their support to
j Johnson for Governor. In the 3d District, there
j is, and will continue to he, much lukewarmness
j and indifference among the Conservatives, es
pecially among the raA- and file ot the Scott
Whigs. The leaders of the latter, looking for
j promotion hereafter, will probably hurra for
j Jenkins and Trippe, publicly, while they private
jlv “nurse their wrath to keep it warm.’’at the
| indignity of neglect which has been put upon
| them ! in tiie 7tli District, much tiie same state
:of tilings exists. A clever but unknown gen-
I tleman has been nominated for Congress (over
i a faithful Scott Whig) who cannot rally the
j strength of his party, but who will be ejected
J without opposition—thus lessening the vote of
tiie district for Jenkins, from the absence of lo
| cal interest in the election of Congressman.—
! In die 2d District the contest will be a close one
j between James Johnson and Mr. Colquitt, from
j tiie fact that the Union Democrats, generally,
will go for the latter, except perhaps in Sumter,
and as a matter of course, for 11. V. Johnson j
for Governor. In the Bth District Jenkins will
sweep all before him, as that is his strong-hold.
; In tiie first, Johnson will beat him one or two
I hundred votes, as Chatham county is the pe
j culiar seat oftlie “re-organized’’ Democracy.
On the whole, our conclusion is that 11. V.
Johnson will he the next Governor of Georgia.
‘The game is in his hands if lie will play it out.
The “Algerine’’ law will do Mr. Jenkins no
j good, nor will his tuants about “Scott Tactics,” 1
; last year, help to swell the number of iiis votes, i
j If beaten, his fate will only be another instance j
l of the poor dog Tray’s disaster. Ho was found

The Algerine Law.
The la.T M .con Telegraph propounds to lheedi
; tor of this paper the folio ‘ inir question:
j “The Messenger has called Mr Gardner, ot the !
j Const it ulwna’ist into court, and we are glad of it. j
| He is a valuable witness, ami since he has been :
; summoned, we Will verdure lo ask him a question. !
Did net the people of Augusta hold Mr. Jenkins
equally retponsihle with Mr. Miller for the Alge
line Law, and did they not defeat him in ’42 on nc
j count of it. f The Messenger has called Mr. G ird- 1
i ner, hut we have a suspii ion that it will repeat il in !
| sackcloth and ashes. We are willing to have our
: statement adjudged by liini.’’
The information here sought of us is already
’ befiu>’ the public, furnished by Mr. Jenkins’
| own political friends, and our testimony would on
j ly be cumulative to th"irs. We v.|l, however, an
-1 surer the question to the liest of onr recollection.
We answer that the people, of Augus’a did hold
! Mr. Jenkins equally responsible with Mr. Millerfor
; the Algerine Law. In the canvass of 184.’, Mr.
j Jenkins assumed his full share ot the responsibilitv
for the law, and did not attempt to throw on Mr.
Miller any gieatur portion of i>, jhan he took upon :
i himself. Nor did Mr. Mfiler claim for himself any
; greater share of the responsibility than 51r. Jen’.
1 kins uittufnllv and boldly assumed.-
I:i fact the share of the burthen assumed hy .Mr. j
Jenkins was rather heavier riian :hat of Mr. Miller. !
j as the result proved ; for .Mr. Jenkins defended and I
i justified the law, as expedient ana proper, and ex- j
( pressed himself as adverse to its repeal. Mr. j
1 Miller contented himself by placing his ad \
vocacy of the law ami his ins'rurnentality in !
its enactment upon Hie supposed uishea of
I liis constituents, lie expressed himself as wil
ling- io have it repealed, and did not in tiie can
vass contend rliatit was just and righti n principle or
! in detail. On this point he did nut commit himself
-™at least did not do so as positively as did Mr.
Jenkins. This difference between the two gentle
[ men may perhaps account for the difference in the
result. Mr, Miller was re-elected—Mr. Jenkins
was defeated.
The Algerine Law was lire issue of (he canvass |
of 184 J, in Richmond county. Mr. Miller and Mr. I
Jenkins were both Whigs and occupied the same j
position on political questions s between Whigs
and Dr nine ats. We therefore do not hesitate to ;
say that Mr. Jenkins was defeated in 1842 on ac- \
count of his position on the Algerine Liw,— Con l
sti ulionalist
Conservative-.Whir —Union—Republican’ j
—Citizen Convention, at Holmksvhee * j
We have verbal intelligence ortho action of i
this Convention, whicli met at Holrnesville, on
the 21st instant. It was presided over by Mr.
Surrencv, of Tattna! : Dr. Cohen, of Tel fair, ami
Mr. Anderson, of Laurens, acting as Secretaries.
Fifteen counties were, we understand, repre
sented. Light of these—simply a majorit y—
voted for Mr. Bartow, thereby securing liis nomi
nation on the first ballot. On the announcement
of the vote tiie delegates from one of the coun- j
ties withdrew, determined not to support tiie
nominee. The representative from another, we
are told, took tiie same position, after the ad
journment of tiie Convention. Yet, we suppose
that the excuse to be given for Mr. Bartow’s
running, after having publicly declined the hon
or, is the spontaneous, unanimous, and irresisti
ble desire, on tiie part of tiie people of the dis
trict, to have him run. —Savannah Georgian.
Attacks upon the Administration. —The able edi
tors of ihe Washington Union, have done well in
formally repudiating the New York Evening Post,
as a Democratic journal, and we thank them for
the plain nnd positive manner in ohiehit has been
done. It is time that such newspapers slmuif! j
learn that they cannot fasten themselves upon the j
Democratic party. It is time that they should he I
spurned with indignation and scorn, as the iastru- i
ments and echoes of the worst factions of tiie day.
President Pierce, we have good reason t < know,
fully appreciates the position and purposes of tin- |
Post, and will not fail to answer to the demand of the ;
Democratic party, that a paper, which is not only i
his enemy, hut ihcits, should forthwith heslript oi I
all disguises and exposed to the world in nil its do- j
fortuity. In itself the Post is no more than any nth
er organ of faction or fanaticism, but as it assumes
to speak for others, it is right that it should be stern
ly repudiated. Its chief employment now, as it lias
been heretofore, is to supply the materials of an
tagonism and misrepresentation to the V, higs.—
And this may be said to be its favorite weapon to
overthrow the Democratic party, in order that Abo
litionism may securely build up a great organiza
tion hostile to the Constitution of the United
States.
J” ion, of the Baltimore Sun, learns that Hie
Missouri and Pacific and railway loan offered by
Mr. Thomas Allen, the president of that company,
amounting to three millions of dollars, lias been ta
ken by an English banking hvtise. English bank
ers sent an agent to New Y’ork to take the loan,
though it is not known on what t- tins. This loan is
founded on the lands granted to Missouri by Congress
and hy that State to this private company. It is
thus, remarks the writer, that that Congress is the
great Almoner of private speculation.

Report of the Board of Visitors of the Masonic Female
Cos lege, Lumpkin, 6a.
The Board of visi ing examiners of this Institn
tion knowing, well that reports of this kind are
often received hy the public as being merely lauda
tory of the Institution which they represent, or
mere compliments to the Teachers and pupils, wish
to premise their remarks by saving that they have
made out this report as truthful, disinterested men,
and with a view to the good of the public whom
they represent in the capacity ot examiners: and
that they have no interest in making good the story
other than correctly informing the people of Mid
dle mid Lower Georgia, in regard to the claims of
this Insdturiou, and while ihcy do so, they wish,
rile fact bor ein mind that some members of the
Board are connected with and personally interested
in the success of Schools of a kindred character,
which tho fact of itself, is a sufficient safeguard
! against too high a coloring.
The exercises of the first annua! Examination
commenced on Tuesday, the lffth inst., and contin
ued until tiie close of the succeeding day. The
classes were examined about an Hour each, and that
not on such parts as the Tea, hers chose lo select,
but in such places as the Board of cxamiueis pointed
out ; the quest-ons in nearly every itislance were
answered with much readiness and cortcctuc-s, and
as we were pleased to observe, often in the pupil’s
own language, when the language of the text bonk
could not be recalled : thus dearly showing that
the principle involved w as riioiouply comprehended.
Tttte, some few questions were missed by the clas
ses, but this of itself, is an argument in favor of
both teachers and pupils, as itshows that the latter
had ag‘ od general know le ge of the studies tHr moh
which they had gone, and that they were not es
pecially pteparedfor the occasion on any particular
part.
The classes in Astronomy and Natural Philoso
phy under the instruction oi the President, acquitted ]
themselves remarkably web, and they showed that
pains had been tauen to impress upon their munis j
a knowledge of those laws and princip.es which I
they can turn to gvod practcal results in after life. |
Mr. Stevens, the President and Professor and Natural |
Science, is a man of many year’s experience in the j
business of teaching, he understands vvefi how to I
discipline his youi g pupils, and has the faculty of!
imparting to h s scholars a practical knowledge of!
what they study.
Tite classes in Rhetoric and Mathematics under |
the super ntendein e of P;of. James A. Bass, de- |
serve a great deal ol credit for the manner in which I
they answered the questions and worked problems I
proposed at the suggestion of ne Board.
Mr. Bass is a graduate of Knn.rv Cos lege, Ox
ford; he is a gentleman of fim talents and ueq ire
incuts, ami une who feels deeply interested iiiu.c 1
welfare of those committed to his care ; he is Pro- j
fessi r of Mathematics and Ancient Languages, but
i us w'e very much regret, has no class in the latter j
department. We think that a knowledge ot the
Languages is to young lady of fully as much, if j
tint m we importance than ihe higher branches of i
Mathematics.
n,rs. Bass, assisted by Mis. Piytr, has charge of i
(he Music department and tier classes have sin-erod
ed admirably well, considering the si ort time they 1
have been under her cate, the young .adit-s’ put- \
formances w ere received w ith marked applause, aid I
never have we seen a class that ling ni more i
gracefully or that kept better rime .Mrs. Bass is i
also teacher of Etnbioidery, and the speciutensex
hiaited on the occasion, wc have never seen e\i> - I
led in point efc tticr taste or execution. Meat hcarti’y j
tin we congratulate the Trustees in their sebetion
of Mr. and Mrs, Bass, we consider them valuable j
acquisi iotis to the liisti ulion.
Mrs. Fiver has charge of the department of Mo
dem Languages; her class in French, atood an ex- |
ceilctit examination, reflecting great credit on fiietn- ,
selves and the ability an! nttenton of their Teach*
ir. Wc arc sur’V to find Mrs. Fryer's class in
French so small, and hope ti nt the patrons if the i
school will avail lliemscives of this favorable op- j
pur tin ty.lo give their daughters a good knowledge j
ami correct pronunciation of ibis beautiful inn- !

Miss Mary G.iv, Inis charge of the Preparatory ‘
ilcp rlmcnt she is a yoi.ng lady in every wav well ‘
qualified fi r the duties ol so responsible a station. i
It is here the foundation is laid on w hich tliesupcr

that under her care it will be w ell and properly j
done.
Her clans in leading read well mdecd, which of i
itself, is no mean or common acei niplblitiient, and !
