WYNN, City .Mill, June 8, 1853-tw ts political AN APPEAL TO THE DEMOCRACY. The democracy of Georgia must re-unite. We iiave fought too long together, in the migh ty contest for principle, to be severed now, by the tricks and management of our old adversa ries. We have fought them upon the Tariff; upon the U. States Bank ; upon the Indepen dent Treasury ; upon the Annexation of Texas; and upon the Mexican War, Ac. &c.; and can not now he beguiled into their support, under anew name! Let all who claim to be dem ocrats, lay down the prejudices, which grew out of the sectional controversy of 1850, and rally once more to the support of Gen’l Piekce’s administration. We all supported Franklin Pierce for President; he has shown himself worthy of the demoernpy, and we must sustain him so long as he is worthy of our confidence. The whigs, under the name of Union and Con servatism, have made war upon that adminis tration without cause ; and yet expect demo crats to fall back upon the division of 1850, and go with them. We must bury our animosi ties, and stand by the administration. The Un ion party, based upon questions wholly sectional, was formally dissolved. Read Mr. Jenkins’ letter. They have published its dissolution time and again. We have acted upon it. We voted for Franklin Pierce for President, while Toombs, Stephens, Jenkins, and others, opposed his election. We triumphed over both the tickets set up by these Conservative loaders ; when lo ! they attempt to set up the divisions of 1850 again, divide the democracy, and battle down the President you have elected. We call upon you then as democrats ; and ask you not to be deceived by your old adversaries, but stand by the administration of your choice. In every part ol the State, strong Union-men are ask ing for a faithful adhesion to democracy. Gov, Cobb stands at the head in his efforts to harmo nize the democracy. Judge Lumpkin, Judge Cole, Judge Powers, and others, are showing themselves above the prejudices of the hour. 1 will submit the thoughts and feelings of othe r Union democrats u; on this subject. They are worthy to he read and remembered. Read them, fellow-democrats, and place yourselves where von have ever been, in the line of battle, which caused democracy to triumph. MR. CH APPELL’S LETTER. Mr, A, H. Chappell, a Union Democrat, j had been suggested by a correspondent of the Journal dp Messenger, over the signa ture of “Bibb,” as a candidate ’of the Con servative party for Congress, under the as sumption that the Union party had been re-or ganised, and that lie as a Union man would “re sume his proper position in it.’’ In allusion to this supposed state of facts, Mr, Chappell very forcibly and truly remarks: ! “The party now in the field (the Conserva tive) and to which ’Bibb’ evidently adheres, and with which he would have me to act, does not even announce itself to the world as the Union party. The omission to do so in the proceed ings of the late Gubernatorial Convention at Milledgeville, is certainly a very significant cir- j cun I stance. It plainly argues that the opinion of that Convention in regard to the fact of the j re-organization of the Union party, is quite dis- j ferent from the opinion entertained by ‘Bibb.’ j “But it is not the name, or the want of a name, of the party to which ‘Bibb’ alludes, that creates the insuperable obstacle to my acting with it. lam a friend and supporter of the present Democratic Administration of the Gene ral Government. I contributed by my vote to the bringing of that Administration into power. I have confidence in the great national party by which that Administration was brought into j power. Os course, I cannot consistently with my views and conv’ctions on national politics, take position in the ranks of a party in Georgia, which is inevitably destined, as I think, to be an Opposition party —a party antagonistic to Gen. Pierce’s Administration and to the Na tional Democracy. The Northern Democratic party has, in my opinion, from the days of Jeffer son down to the present hour, been character ized in the main, by friendliness and justice to the South. They iiave stood by us in a thousand trials; they have fought, and either conquer ed or fallen for us in a thousand hard political battles. Yes! and they were, as a body, with us in that last and greatest battle of all, the battle upon the Compromise questions growing out of the acquisition of New Mexico and California. I cannot bring myself to turn my back on such a Northern party, and on an Administration which I concurred with it in electing, until it shall manifest a spirit and a conduct signally discordant with the general tone of its past his tory and character My devotion to the South led me in 1844, when representing the State in Congress, to east off all political connection with the Northern Whigs, because I saw and knew for myself, that as a mass, they were in tensely leavened, thoroughly penetrated with hostility to the South. From that period I have been led by the same devotion to the South, lo advocate the policy of acting with and sustain ing the Northern Democratic party, because I saw and knew for myself, that that party was, as a body, thoroughly imbued with just feel ings and a friendly bias towards the South, and acted habitually under the influence of such feelings. “Under these circumstances, and entertaining these convictions, it is of course impossible for me to identify myself with any party in Geor gia, under whose banner 1 would inevitably, as 1 believe, soon find myself in a position of al liance with the National Whig Party, and of hostility to that National Democratic Party, to which l have long been attached, which I have just helped to carry into power, and in which 1 stiff have confidence, although some tilings have transpired iu appointments to office by the President, which I could have wished had been otherwise. “Nevertheless, being an optimist in politics, (if I may borrow a phrase from that great states man, Mr. Buchanan,) 1 shall continue to sup port Gen, Pierce’s Administration, and to act with the party by which it is supported, until something shall occur (which Heaven forbid) making such a course no longer the best which a Southern man can pursue. Your obedient servant, A. H. CHAPPELL.” LETTER FROM COL. JOHN COLLIER. Decatur, August sth, 1853. Col. John Collier: At a convention held at this place, on the ‘2d inst., by a respectable portion of the Union par ty of this county, for the purpose ot nominating candidates for the Legislature, it affords me much pleasure, as President of said Convention, to he authorized to announce to you, that you were selected as one of the candidates for the Representative branch of the Legislature, and solicit your acceptance of said nomination. An early reply is desirable. Yours, very respectfully, WILLIAM KZZARD. Atlanta, August (ith, 1853. Hon. T Vm. Ezzard : Dear Sir:—Your favor of the sth inst. has been received, in which you (as the presiding of ficer of a convention, held at Decatur on the 2d inst., composed, as you state, of a respectable portion of the Union party of DeKalb county, for the purpose of nominating candidates to be run for the Legislature,) are pleased to commu nicate to me the intelligence, that i was. by that convention selected as one of the candidates for the Representative branch of the Legislature iu the approaching eleetfon, and request my ac ceptance, Ac., to which lat once reply, that I must be permitted to decline the honor thus prof fered. It is immaterial to me by what name the par ty may he called over whose convention you had the honor to preside, and which selected me as one of the candidates for the Representa tive branch of the Legislature. it is the party that is opposed to the administrative policy of I President Pierce, as shadowed forth in his Inau- I guru], and opposed to the cardinal principles of the National Democratic party. It is the party that favors the election of the Hon. Charles j. Jenkins, the whig candidate for Governor of Georgia, and the same party that favors the Federal administrative policy of the National Whig party. That being true, and holding the political op inions that I do, 1 cannot consent to he placed in opposition to the National Democracy, and J the administrative policy of Gen. Pierce, as in dicated by liini in his Inaugural, and compelled, by force of position, to favor the heresies of the | National Whig party. 1 can see middle ground—were there any, i have no desire to oc | copy it. i The issues of’so, that split up both the whig | | and democratic parties, and which called into ! I existence the Union party, have been settled, j | and both National parties liave in convention ; pledged themselves to maintain that settlement, i That being so, it was very natural for the mem- ! hers of the Union party to dissolve their cornier.- ! tion, (which they did.) Indeed, it was inevit- I aide -there being nothing upon which the Union : organization could subsist. “Where there is no fuel the fire goeth out.’’ Hence in ’52 the Union democrats went heartily into the support of Pierce and King, the National Democratic can didates for President and Vice President. The Union whigs went where 1 Scattered, some for the democratic nominees, some for General Scott and Graham, some for Webster and Jon kins, and others for . So you see that the dissolution ol the Union party in ’52 was complete, (it previous to that time having ful filled its mission,) and I must confess, that I can see no necessity now for resuscitating it, if it could he done. You and 1 maintained in ’SO and ’sl, that those vexed questions having been settled, agitation should cease—peace and quiet be restored—that the country required it. lam of that opinion now, and therefore do not desire to revive the party bickerings, eliminations and ! recriminations of’so and ’sl, when l can see no good that can result to the country from it. I These are some of the many reasons that j liave induced me to decline a: cepting the honor tendered. 1 thought it proper, as well as due to myself and those who did me the honor to place me in nomination, to make the statements that J have, in order that my position might he known. Whilst I may feel under very many obliga. tions to any portion of my fellow-citizens nho may be disposed to honor me with a post of some distinction, I must he permitted, at the same time, to pursue sujli a course of policy, in political matters, as shall, to my mind, most effectually tend to promote the best interests of our whole country. Very respectfully, your ob’t servant, JOHN COLLIER. [From the Cassviile Standard.] TO UNION DEMOCRATS. As we consider that we are, and always have been, a Union democrat—aye, a full blooded one, too, we claim the privilege of appealing to them at this time. We know that efforts are making to induce you to abandon, indirectly, your cher ished principles ; your prejudices are appealed to—you are told that new principles have been engrafted in the democratic creed—that the right of a Slate to secede at will, is henceforth to he a cardinal of our party! It is true that there are men in the democratic party that hold these views, but they hold them not as democrats, but as individuals. We pro” test against the right of any man to proclaim the principles of our party; that is left alone to our national conventions; and at our last na tional democratic convention the platform of our principles was distinctly set forth, and upon them Gen’i Pierce was elected, and he is look ed upon as the representative of our party ; and until he deserts or abandons that platform, all democrats are bound to give him their adhesion and support. No one lias charged Gen’l Pierce with an open desertion of our principles, but he is blamed for appointing men to office whose antecedents give no guarantee of their devotion to the faith of the democratic party. Admit ting this to be true, ami that they were impoli tic, yet if he carries out in good faith the prin ciples upon which he was elected, lie will have discharged his duty, and there is no cause of complaint. Then we hold it to be the duty of all democrats to support the administration and its friends, and oppose its enemies. The enemies of General Pierce are the opponents of the de mocratic party ; and in the approaching Guber natorial election let no democrat support Mr. Jenkins—if he does, he indirectly abandons his party Mr. Jenkins makes war upon the ad.- ministration—he thereby makes war upon the democratic party ; he is the enemy of our prin ciples, open and avowed. Let Union democrats pause before they vote for Jenkins, if any have thought of such a thing. You cannot do so up on principle, and never let your prejudices thus govern your judgment. The principles of the democratic party have not changed—they are the same now as in the days of Jackson, and we look upon him as having been nearer em bodying its principles than any other man. We are a democrat of the Jacksonian school, hon estly, sincerely and devotedly. Mr. Polk was one of his followers, and we have no doubt hut that General Pierce will prove to be the same. THE VOICE OF THE UNION. We invite the attention of the Union Demo crats especially to tiie unanswerable arguments i addressed to them in the letter we to-day pub lish, from J. A. Turner, Esq., of Putnam coun ty. Mr. Turner was a Union Democrat, un der the late division of parties in Georgia. He went as far in the support of his party and his principles as any member of that party. But being a triend to the administration, and looking forward to a cordial support of President Pierce, he very naturally gives his sympathy and aid to ! the men and lhe party in his State who stand by and defend his Administration. The citizen conservatives, alias Federal W Htcs of Georgia, have not exhibited their usual sagacity and cunning in the arrangement of the present campaign. They hoped to de ceive the Union democrats, but neglected to fortify their position in relation to the national democracy and the Administration. Union democrats have confidence in the Platform of Principles laid down at Baltimore ; they cherish the highest respect and the warm est affection lor the noble leader who bore the haulier of demoracy so proudly and victorious ly in the ever memorable compaign of ’52. They are not yet prepared to join Mr. Toombs and Mr. Jenkins iu their crusade against the man ol their choice. They intend to continue, where they have been, national democrats, and ‘ all the arts ot their enemies will be powerless to swerve them an iota from the path of duty. The letter of Mr. Turner is forcibly written, and will do an acceptable office in many por tions of the State.— Federal Union Remember, that the Toombs and Stephens party got up at Milledgeville, no matter by what name called, opposed Pikkce’s election and are against bis administration. Mr. Jenkins, the candidate for Governor, ami every candi-- date they have placed in nomination for Con gress, voted against Pierce and tiro opposed to democracy. Will any democrat support them ? I will not. IFrom tiie Savannah Georgian.] The Progress of the Canvass. Calhoun, Aug. 17. M tssrs. Editors : —I avail myself of a leisure hour, awaiting the arrival of the cars, to advise you of passing events in Cherokee Georgia. On the 10th, Ilffi and 12ih, DeKalb County Fair held ns annual meeting, the attendance was large,exhibition ; respectable, politicians many. On lhe evening of ! the 10th, Messrs. Stephens and Toombs addressed | lhe people. I attended, and lisiened to what I con ceived to lie baser prostituiion of talent and politi cal experience than had ever fallen lo tny lot. Mr. j S.eohers. whaiev reisetn.-iy be said ofliis speech,was courteous : but Toombs was profane, vulgar—filled j with sophistry even to falsehood, and insulting, comparing Judge Johnson to Benedict Arnold, &c., &c. Outlie evening of the 1 lilt, the people were •tgain addressed by Messrs. Johnson, Cowart and Glenn. Judge Jolt nson made a strong and argumen- | talivc speech, clothed with the panoply ol truth. He hurled back with digniiy and disdain the contempti ble slanders propagated on the previous evening.— The Democracy of Georgia may well feel proud of their cherished standard-bearer. Mr. Cowart next addressed the meeting. Mr. Glenn, a Union Deni- j acr-it, closed. Mr. G. is a young man of fine prom- i ise, and much political experience, having, I think, i for several sessions past, been clerk to the Senate, i He is now the candidate of the Democracy of old Henry for the Senate. On Friday, the Idih, Johnson arrived bv i the cars at this place. His arrival was not anticipa ted, hut he was soon recognised, and ill less th in two hours a very respectable meeting was convened ] in the Courthouse. He was listened to with mar- , ked attention by both parties. His effort was en thusiastically received by the Democracy, and regar ded as fair and manly by the opposition,’who, bv the by, are few and far between in and about Calhoun. Col. Howard, of Crawford, next addressed the peo ple. His effort was, as is wont, well received, be ing a scathing rebuke upon Messrs. Toombs, Ste phens & Cos. Col. Howard is well known through Middle Georgia as one of the ablest men ofliis age in the State, and well has he sustained his reputa tion in Cherokee ns a popular speaker. On Satur day, the )3th, a ride of five hours from Sugar Valley the teside.tce of mv esteemed friend Copt. Nelson, brought us to the Floyd S"iings, where a barbe cue had been prepared, and a large meeting assem bled. Judge Johnson was on the stand when we rode up. This was one of his master efforts. I re gret I have not time to give you a synopsis of this speech—would that every Georgian could have lis tened to it. Judge Lumkpin was next called to the stand. His speech was one of the very best I have beard during the canvass. It was characterized by much of that honest earnestness ro peculiar to Judge L. Asa Union Democrat he was peculiar tv happy and fWible in his warnings to the Union Democrats against the seductions of the Legion, alias Toombs, alias Union party. Col. Crook, the Democratic nominee for the jud geship of ills District, was next upon the stand.— He was well received. Col. Howard next took the stand. Ilis effort was a powerful n.u cment. The day hot, the people fatigued, he gave vent to his exhaustlcss fund of wit, anecdote and sarcasm, that had a telling effect amongst the unterrified. On Saturday afternoon, Judge Johnson and Mr. Jen kins mei, not iri debate, and agreed upon the fol lowing programme : To address the people togeth er at Lafayette, in Walker Co-, on the 22 t, Dalton, 23d, Spring Place, 24th, Calhoun, 25:h, Cassviile, 26th, Can on 27th. At Canton they divide, John son going into Cass, and Jcnkips into South-wes tern Georgia. 1 have conversed freely with gentlemen from va rious parts oftfce up-country, and find mcuh unani mity of feeling upon the gubernatorial eler-fion, and the Democracy may be considered harmonised. I am assured that Johnson must cross the Chattahoo chee with a majority of 5 000 votes. Oil yesterday Ii isiied Mr. Peters’ plantation, near this place, and was shown by his worthy, cour eons and obliging manager, Mr. Hawks, his truly inter esting and valuable possessions here consisting of a tract of 1600 acres of land, eight hundred acres un der fence, and much of it in a high stale of cultiva tion, producing last season twenty-five bushels of wheat to the acre, and other crops in proportion. Much ofliis lands are sown down to grass, such us h-rds grass, orchard grass, velvet gr>ss, timothy, w hite and red clover, &:■„ stocked with the finest hard of Devons, I presume in the U.

And last, though liot least, the Shanghais—they must be seen to be appreciated. I could not count them, nor could old aunt Betty, who raised them : but seriously, she called up bun dredsfand most of the young cocks, the past spring’s chickens, as large as turkey hens.

Conrad, editor of* the Brownsville Flag, who arrived on the Yacht. He informs us that business is looking up again at Brownsville and along the frontier. Property which was at a very low standard last year at this time, is now fast im proving, and increasing in value. The best feeling exis's between our people on this s de of the rive” ami the Mexicans along the frontier. The had feelings which sprang from the Carvnjal movement are being fist effaced, and ihey now live together quite harmoniously. There are a number of iin provemen'.s going on in Brownsville,—the Jesuits are erecting a magnificent nnnoerv and college com bined, which will be a beautiful edifice when com pleted—one which no city in the universe need be ashamed of, and which will be no less useful Ilian ornamental. There is no talk of war on the fron tierftetween Mexico and the United States, and no warlike preparations being made by lhe former.— Col. Cruz, the Mil.tary Commandant of Mafamoroe, is winning gulden opinions among oar citizens, for ms ster.ing integrity, and the gentlemanly suavity with which he administers the duties of'his office. He is, undoubtedly, not only the Lravest, but one of the most honorable cfiiceis of the Mexican t tny. .Mr. C. s'ates, that in consequence of the im mense quantities of the various productions of Mex ico, which have, heretofore, been smuggled into the United States, from Mexico, such as cattle, horses, mules, hides and various other articles, Mr. Stephen 1 owers, Collector of Customs, has placed a corps railed Revenue Rangers, consisting of 12 or 20 men, mounted, along the river, from the mouth to Laredo, for the purpose of preventing frauds upon the Customs, and seizing t Lo smuggled property wherever found. The wisdom of this movement will ben; parent, when we lake into consideration the tact, that there are thousands of mules yearly brought from Mexico and driven to the interior for sale, one-tenth puriol which never pay one cent of duty ; and the import duty on a horse,or male, is four dollars ner head. 1 he authorities on the Mexican side are carrying into effect the decree ot Santa Anna, ordering a se questration of all fire-arms or other war-like wea pons, found ill possession of private individuals. In this, they are a little fast, for since the promulgation of that decree, it has been altered, so as to allow the inhabitants of the frontier States to retain the arms in tiieir possession, for liteir protection against | the incursions ofthe Indians—so say “our last Mexi i can exchanges. They have just just got through with their elee- I tion on the Rio Graude. Now, an election on the i Rio Grande is not like an election anywhere else | There is a similarity between the Rio Grande elec tions and the feuds ofihe rival houses of York and Lancaster. York and Lancaster Hung to the breeze the banners ofthe white and red roses, and beneath these inspiriting colors light manfully contended for merry England’s throne. The Rio Grande po liticians ha\o adopted the red and blue—emblems of love and fidelity—and never were they more in approprmtely used ; ami for two weeks preceding -m election, there is not a house, carriage, wagon, horse, mule, steainooat.j'ucn/, yawl, boat, bar room, or other object, that is not hung from root to found ation, from stem to stern, or from head to foot, with either blue ribbon ot muslin ; and every man, wo man, or child you meet, no matter what theircon- I dition, sports a blue or red rosette; and the greets- I ers make you imagine, from the colors they wear, i hat you are in some huge circus surrounded by cl wns, for they indiscriminately mount both the blue and red. When t hey go to the polls they have u*u ami blue tickets printed iu red and blue ink, and the clerks ofthe election write the suffragan’s name iu red or blue ink, and which ever party gets heat have the blues lor at least two weeks afterwards, and the noses or ihe victors are generally tinged with red. The excitement during these “elections is immense; bui, strange to say, though all wear six-shooters, you never liearof any one being injured. I hey are decidedly conservative in the use of lire* arms. i'he election resulted in favor of the blues—(a correspondent of ouis styles them the “law and or t!i r’ parly—but we doubt whether either can lay claim to a great amount of order.) Scurry received a large majority tor Congress over Bell and Lewis, hut Mr. C. says that he lias no doubt Governor Bell is elected to Congress from the Western D,strict. Heretofore, on the Run Grande, it has been the practice ot all panics to smuggle over a laige nuin her of .Mexicans, of the lower classes, peons, etc., and voting tin m—a Mexican of that class not being over conscientious, and not believing in the efficacy otan oatn unless administered by t iiopadres, would swear Ins vote in. At this election, it seems that hula parties called upon Col. Cruz, and requested that he would prevent these illegal proceedings. The Colonel agreed, and consequently placed guards along at the several passes of the river and preven ted the cios-mg of these Ephraimites. So, for the first time, they have had a pure ballot on the Rio Grande. What h a Kiss?—We are sure our lady sub scribers wili thank ns for bringing to light the fol lowing curious definition of a hiss. It is an extract from a German love letter, written ns far back as in 1679, and treats an itnporiant subject so fully and satisfactorily, that every one of taste must consider it a gem : ‘‘What is a kiss ? A kiss is, as it were, a seal expressing oui sincere atlaeiiment; the pledge of our future onion ; a dumb, but at the same time audi ble language of a living heart; a present, which a the time it is given; istaken|fmm us ; the impression of an ardentaltuchment on an miry coral press ; the striking of two fl nts against one another ; a crim son balsam for a love-sick heart ; a sweet bite ot the lip; an affectionate pinching of the mouth : a delicious dish which is eaten with scarlet spoons ; a sweetmeat which does not satisfy hunger ; a fruit which is planted and a garden at the same time; the quickest exchange of questions and answers of two lovers ; the fourth degree oflove. The Chinese in California According to the San Francisco cot respondent of the St. Louis In telligencer, the Chinese population of California af lord an interesting subject of ovservation. Their appearance, drees, habits, modes of life, religion and government arc so wholly dissimilar from ours and ilie world has heretofore known so little of ci ther, tha: when one has an opportunity to observe them narrowly, he feels that he is treading upon comparatively new ground. The first impression made upon the mind, iu beholding a crowd of Chi namen, is that they are an exceedingly simple-min ded, cheerful, conicnied and harmless race. They chatter away with a volubily truly marvelous, and apparently are full of fun and good humor. Their predominant vice appears to be a love of gaming. They have almost a countless number of gambling houses scattered through the city, and which ate generally crowded to excess, especially at night. Tney do not use catds, or any of our gaming devi ces ; but simply small pieces of brass about as large as a dime, with a hole through the centre. The banker or dealer, takes up a double handful of these and throws them upon the table ami it ap pears that the bets are upon the fact whether the pile consists of an odd or even number. Very few of them have the remotest iuea of our system of law-* or government, and hence they adhere in a great measure to their own.
