Jarfge Audrcws’ le tter of Acccpltuce.
AVe publish in this paper, the letter of the Know
Nothing candidate for Governor, just as we find it
published in the Know-Nothing organs. We pub
lish it entire, for two reasons; first, in justice to
Judce Andrews, and second, as an net ofjustico to
the Democratic party; for we arc well assured, if
,ce did not publish it, we should sin against Dem
ocratic principles, and incur the life-long dis-
asitre of Democrats and anti-Know-Notilings.
We have no particular objection to the first para-
.jili of the letter—the matter and style being fa-
niiiarto all letter writers. But passing oil a lit
tle when we arrive at this sentence, our wits are
sMcgcted somewhat. He says:
0 -The main reason for refusal was a desire that
„„ organization should bo suffered, tinder what is
known as the Columbus movement, which I Imped
v.oiid convene, and as I advised my friends,

Tliis is about as dear as mud. A movement con-
nuc! Oh, Murray! Passing over the “irresista-
ble reasons'’ and others of “such magnitude as not
to be disregarded or overruled,'’ and we approach

v.rote in i859, in which he hooted at the idea of
(lisri.iving the Union for ally cause whatsoever?—
Hut. says the Judge, “has Governor Johnson or the
Democratic party told us of any escape from the
crisis, so certainly pending 1 " Passing over the
ha 1 taste of the writer in using the name of his
opponent in a formal letter of acceptance, we re-
plv, that both Gov. Johnson and the Democratic
party have suggested a way of escape from the
pending crisis. That way of escape is through
Northern Democrats. Judge Andrews goes on to
siy that the “American party' - is the only hope of
salvation, a" that is a “national party.’" We would
like to have him prove his position. Where is
there anything national in the Know-Nothing par-
t Where is the Know-Nothing newspaper north
of M.non & Dixon's line, that has endorsed tiie
slavery clause of the Philadelphia platform’—
None, not one has done it, and Judge Andrews is
a marvellous ignorant man if ho does not know
this Where is the State, where is the leading
poliiiciau north of Mason <fc Dixon’s line, outside
of tic- democratic party, that has come up to the
test of the Southern Know-Nothings. Has Fill
more done it? Has Everett or any other leading
Northern K. N.? They have not. Judge An
drew* speaks of the “war raging against the na
tional American party lately organized at Philadel
phia, to bring the needed aid from the North,
whence only it can be had." Now, does not Judge j an d Councils of the Order.it has acted like a pow
5th, Resolved, That in accordance with the
above resolution, whilst we are willing to act in
party association with all sound and reliable men
in every section of the Union, we are not willing
to affiliate with any party that shall not recognize,
approve and carry out the principles and provisions
of the Nebraska Kansas act,—and that the Demo
cratic party of Georgia w ill cut off all party con
nection with every man and party at the Noith or
elsewhere, that does imt come up fully and fairly
to this line of action.''
Judge Andrew's,perhaps, had not read this reso
lution, w hen lie made the above charge.
Judge Andrews tries his hand at wit, when he
says, speaking of the position of the Democratic
party on the Georgia platform;
“we object first, that they have only squatted on
one corner of it, (the 4th resolution.’ )
This is the idea and the very words of the vali
ant Dr. Homer Virgil Mato Miller, used in his
speech here and at Atlanta and at Rome, before
this letter was written. But the wit of the Judge
is pointless. He did'nt stand on this resolution in
1850; because he published a letter asserting that
“disunion was a remedy for nothing.’’ while the
Georgia platform distinctly says, that it is a reme
dy, and will be tried when either of the contingen
cies set forth in the 4th resolution, may happen.—
Again, All the Southern Rights Democrats in the
convention of 1850, voted for this 4tii Resolution,
while 50 of Judge Andrews’ party voted to strike
it out! Again: Judge Andrews does not now-
stand on the Georgia platform. We defy him to
show how he can stand on the Philadelphia Know
Nothing platform, and on the Georgia platform.—
The Philadelphia Convention says, “the mainten
ance of the Union of these State as the paramount
political good” while the Georgia platform says,
“we hold the Union secondary in importance only to
the rights and principles they were destined to per
petuate." Now, how can the Know-Nothing nom
inee stand on these two platforms at ono and the
same time? As soon ask or expect him to stand
on his head and his feet at the same moment.—
But enough of comment on this puerile letter.—
We have only to say, if Judge Andrews’ friends
will be “convulsed with laughter” over portions
of this letter, as the Savannah Republican savs
they will be, the opponents of the Judge will have
the advantage: they are “convulsed with laughter”
over the whole letter; and at no portion of this
letter does the laughter get more convulsing than
at the closing sentence. It is too funny to repeat.
Reader, turn to it, and look to your buttons well
before reading it.

Every man who has carefully watched the signs
of the times, must have noticed that Judge An
drews’ letter of acceptance has produced a terrible
effect among the sons of darkness. In the Lodges

of their best members, from the deep, dark, disgust

and liberty of freemen. Upon the members that
still remain in their dens, it acts like a slow eme

North? Is there one Know-Nothing member of
Congress from the North now elected, who will
give us the “needed aid?” Can there be on« elec
ted to Congress who will give this “needed aid?”
Judge Andrews, unless he is blind to the facts as
they stand out boldly before him, or stupidly igno
rant, must know that the South has not one friend
in the whole list of Know-Nothing Senators and
Representatives from the North, in Congress —
Not one. Well may Judge Andrews say, that
"one vote may decide the question upon which the
fate of millions may depend.” Yes, one vote may
do much; but can Judge Andrews pledge the
South one single K. N. vote in Congress from the
North, for the admission of Kansas as a State with
a slavery constitution? We defy him, or any oth
er Know-Nothing, to point to one Know-Nothing
in Congress from the free States who will vote for
Kansas to be admitted with such a constitution.
But, says Judge Andrews, there has been much
•'figuring, showing how the Democratic party has
disease. The only remedy that has yet been dis
covered for those that are afflicted with the An
drews Morbus, is to move them immediately from
the infected district, and permit them to breathe
the free air of Democracy. Those that have left
the Know-Nothing dons, are many of them nearly
restored to health, and some that have been drag
ged out by their friends, when reduced almost to a
state ofiusanitv. are now ‘clothed and in their right
minds.’ Know-Nothing Editors have been afflic
ted somewhat differently from other men, by the
letter, but their symptoms are none the less alarm
ing. Most of these unfortunate Editors cannot
say a word about the letter; speak to them about
the letter, ask them what they think about the letter,
and immediately they are seized with a violent fit
of coughing, which lasts until you change the
subject. In addition to this, the hectic flush is
seen upon their cheeks w henever that letter is men

troubled with night sweats and general debiiity.

No friend of the State, would be w illing to trust
the honor of Georgia in their hands. Again sup

cessary for Georgia to resist the encroachments of
Northern Abolitionists, who that lias read his let-

Judge Andrews says:
“Hie American party cut lose from, and sent
howling to their dens at tiie North, the abolition
members of their body; the first time 1 believe that
a party has, in convention, separated from, and
publicly repudiated, a part of its body forunsound-
upss on the slavery question.”
I iiis is a new version of the story. Wo had al-
' ■ thought it was the abolition members of the
Philadelphia convention who cut lose from tho of acceptance, wnuhl be w illing to trust the
Anthem members ofthat body. So far from “cut- j honor ° { t,le State in fhe hands of Garnot Andrews.

and they laugh in their sleeve at those that are so

This gentleman has accepted the nomination of
the. Know-Nothings, as their candidate for Con

ter Is an old line Whig. He. talked, spoke and vo
ted for General Scott in 1852. Col. Foster now-
stands on the Philadelphia Know-Nothing plat
form, which prescribes a religious test. General
Pierce was taunted by his opponents with the
clause in the constitution of New Hampshire,
which excluded Catholics from positions of trust
under that State. Did not Col. Foster think that
that clause was w rong? If he did in 1852, he does
in 1855, unless principles can change. General
Scott had a daughter educated at a Catholic insti
tution, and he may be for all we know, a friend to
the Catholic religion, if not a member of the Cath
olic church. If the latter, lie would not be able to
hold hi* present office of Lieutenant General.—
Would not Col. Foster be compelled to support the
Know-Nothing President who would remove Gen.
Scott, because he was a Catholic? Again: Gen
Scott was in favor of allowing foreigners in the
array or navy, who had. served one year, the right
of voting. Col. Foster must have known this
wbfen he ran on the Scott ticket in 1852. Who
has changed, principles or N. G. Foster?

" e will not say that Judge Andrews perpetrates
a v lifal falsehood; we have the charity- to excuse
krai on the ground of ignorance. He certainly has
r,Jt read or does not understand a resolution in
t:i ‘‘ democratic platform laid down at Milledgeville,
‘"June last. It is this:
, ‘frh. Rrsofrr/?, That we adopt as our own, the

K*sw W»ifcl*g Apostles, Saints an4
Martyrs.
The genuine followers of the dark lantern gen
erally acknowledge the notorious Ned Buntline as
the great apostle of their faith and order. Perhaps
no man was ever better qualified for such a mis
sion. His w hole life was one succession of deeds
of darkness. Whilst expiating some of ills crimes
within the walls of a Penitentiary, he is said to
have matured the plan of the Know-Nothing or
ganization. Among the earliest of his disciples
was Bill Poole, a celebrated prize fighter and out
law. In a drunken row, in one of the lowest dens
of infamy in New York, Poole happened to get
killed, by another rowdy nearly- as bad as himself.
Immediately the Know-Nothings canonized Bill
Poole. Thousands followed him to the grave, and
his Know-Nothing brethren, we believe, stiil make
pilgrimages to his tomb. But veneration for dead
saints is not enough to satisfy Know-Nothing pie
ty; they wish to walk by sight and not by faith;
in short, they demand a living Saint as the object
of their idolatry. In making such a selection, they
could not long hesitate. We are informed that a
Know-Nothing orator lately proclaimed, in a pub
lic assembly, that Francis II. Cone, of Greensbo
ro. Georgia, must have written the Philadelphia
Know-Nothing Platform under inspiration, as no
uninspired man could have w ritten such a compo
sition. This hint was too plain to be neglected;
the selection has already been made, and we may
soon hear Know -Nothing zealots calling upon Saint
Francis to protect them in troulde. Will Saint
Francis establish an order of Monks at Greensbo
ro? and shall we see Know-Nothing culprits
making pilgrimages to Greensboro, barefooted or
with pens in their shoes, to expiate t heir sins ?
Know-Nothings art fortunate in some things.
Where could the men have been selected, better
qualified for the founders of a dark lantern society,
than Ned Buntliue and Bill I’oole, and where
could three men be found better qualified to
represent « Know Nothing fraternity than ,8am
Varnadoe, Willis Hawkins and Lewis Tumlin; and
where on the fare of the whole earth, could be
found a better exponent of Know-Nothing reli
gion, and a more suitable subject for a Know-
Nothing Saint, than Francis H. Cone? We heard
him declare in the Milledgeville Convention, that
“he was willing to spend and be spent in the ser
vice of the fraternity,” and yet he asked no earthly
honors at their hands. Perhaps Saint Francis is
looking forward to the Crown of Martyrdom.
Larfr and Enthusiastic Alerting at
Entonlon.
On Tuesday last, the day on which the Democ
racy and ants-Know-Nothings assembled in Eu-
tonton, to nominate a candidate for Congress for
the 7th Congressional District, there was held one
of the largest and most enthusiastic public meet
ings, near the village, ever held in Putnam coun
ty. We were present on the occasion, and since
the exciting days of “Tip and Ty,” and “Texas an
nexation,” we have never witnessed so much feel
ing and interest in political matters. An extra
train of care from Milledgeville, five in number,
carried up to Eatonton about four hundred per
sons. Tiie National Flag, and a Banner with the
inscription, “The Constitution as it is,” to
gether with the “ear piercing fife and spirit-stir
ring drum,” headed the procession, as the Baldwin
delegation marched into Eatonton. Here was
presented a scene that would have done justice to
the best days of ’40. More than a thousand peo
ple, marching through the streets, was no ordinary-
sight in these quiet times. The large procession
marched out to a grove near the town, where a
stand had been raised for the speakers invited to
address the people on that day. A very large, and
we may say, a handsome collection of the ladies
of Putnam graced the occasion with their pres
ence.
When the crowd had collected, Dr. Joel Bran
ham announced from the stand, that the people
present would be calmly and fairly addressed by-
distinguished gentlemen present. He concluded
his remarks, by introducing to the meeting, Hon.
I,inton Stephens, of Hancock. We cannot, for
want of space, follow either of the speakers in
their able argument against tiie Know-Nothing,
or so-called American party. Mr. Stephens made
a mild, but forcible and telling speech. His effort
,it Eatonton gave us assurance, that our cause
would find in him, throughout the canvass, a pow
erful exponent and advocate. He was followed
by Gov. Cobb, in a speech of two hours length.
We hesitate not a moment in pronouncing this
speech of Gov. Cobb s, the most powerful we ever
iieard from his lips. He indulged in no clap-trap, no
vapid declamation or denunciation—he dealt in
facts, and facts alone. His argument was irresis
tible, and it went home to the heart and judgment
of every honest and unprejudiced man in that
large assemblage. Fully two thousand people
were in hearing of Gov. Cobb’s masterly speech.
After Gov. Cobb concluded, those present were in
vited to participate in a discussion, where pig and
lamb were the most interesting topics. The Bar-
bacue was siiraptuous and well prepared. After
dinner, the masses went into the village, and col
lected around the Eatonton Hotel, where they
were addressed in spirited and eloquent speeches,
from Messrs. Briscoe of Walton, Flournoy of
Washington, Anderson of Jasper, and Duncan of
Baldwin. These speeches were in good taste, and
were listened to attentively by- the large crowd in
attendance. At half after five, the train returned
with our Baldwin friends, who were delighted
with the matter and the manner of the proceed
ings. Never have we seen so orderly- a political
gathering. Much credit is due the citizens of Ea
tonton for their precautionary- measures against a
disturbance. If every political meeting in this
campaign will be conducted in the same temper
and manner as the meeting at Eatonton, very few
unpleasant circumstances will remain to mar the
history-of the pending contest in Georgia.

General News.—There, was a Ministerial crisis in
England, owing to Lord Joint Russell’s bungling
explanation of iiis conduct at the Vienna Confer

a Ministry containing Russell in it, was unworthy
of public confidence.
It was expected that Lord Palmerston would

TUh grave Charge*.
The Soathern Recorder of last Tuesday refers
to the following charges, made iu a meeting in
Cass county, as “startling disclosures’ which
should be investigated.
Resolved, That we utterly- condemn the admin
istration of Gov. H. V. Johnson, because he has
sought to use the Western & Atlantic Railroad
(the joint property of all the people of Georgia) as
a means of political corruption in order to ad
vance the interests of a party, first in controlling
the Superintendent of the Road in his appoint
ments to and removals from office, for the express
object of punishing political independence and
rewarding political subserviency, secondly, in the
appointment by the Governor of Robert J. Cow
art to the office of attorney for the Road, at a sal
ary of $2 Kill—on office of the Governor's own crea
tion, in direct violation of law, and through whose
known incompetency the Road has sustained the
loss of $36,000 in the State of Tennessee and
whose incompetency has rendered it absolutely
necessary for the Superintendent to employ other
attorneys at a heavy cost to the Road, to protect
its interests: thirdly, in recently compelling the
Superintendent of the road to make a discrimina
tion in the rates of freight in favor of an individ
ual, at a cost to the State of $7,000 per year,
when the Superintendent with the approval of the
Governor, had constantly refused to do so during
the whole previous term of Iiis office, in order that
the support of that individual and his friends,
might be secured in the approaching election. ^
We shall notice them briefly:
1st. The charge of political proscription. This
comes with a bad grace from the opponents of
Oov. Johnson, whose proscriptive doctrines ex
tend to a man’s religion as well as to his politics.
2nd. The claims against the State Road, in
Tennessee, were submitted to arbitration, and re
moved to another county, hoping to obtain a fair
trial. But the award went against the State of
Georgia. Where : s the corruption in this?
3d. Mr. Cowart’s office was not created by
Gov. Johnson. It was created by Gov. Cobb,
Gov Johnson found it in existence, and continued
it. at less expense to the Road than was incur
red by his predecessor. The opposition found no
fault with this office when it was made by Gov.
Cobh. Why- is it condemned under another ad
ministration?
4th. The change in the tariff of freights at
Etowah, Maj. Cooper’s Depot (he being the “in
dividual” referred to in the above) was made in
pursuance of an understanding effected more than
12 months ago. The change applies to al! ship
ments at that point, without discrimination in
favor of any one individual.
The insinuation in the charge .above, that Gov.
Johnson used the State’s money to bribe Mark A.
Cooper, and that Mark A Cooper received the
bribe, is, in the opinion of every man who knows
these gentlemen, too contemptible to be a mo
ment entertained.

TO JUDGE CONE.
As the putative author of the platform of the
American party—it is very desirable that what is
ambiguous in that declaration of opinions should
be removed—Let me therefore invite your atten
tion to that portion of 12th Section in these words
—“The American party having arisen upon the
ruins and in despite of the opposition of the Whig
and Democratic parties—cannot beheld in any man
ner responsible for the obnoxious acts or violated
pledges of either."
Had you any reference in penning the foregoing

Twiggs County, July 27, 1855.
Messers. Editors: I feel it due to myself to
notice a Communication in the Georgia Citizen of
the 14th inst. signed "Twiggs," in which the au
thor endeavors by falsehood, to place an act of
mine in an unenviable light in the Democratic
meeting in Twiggs on the 4th. “Twiggs" says I
offered a resolution “that no democrat be allowed to
read the Georgia Citizen.” all I have to say to this
is, that it is simply false: but 1 suppose I ought not
complain, as the article is from the pen of a Know
Nothing, whose creed binds him hy- oath to tell lies,
and especially one whose natural tendencies are tv
twist the truth, as much as his mouth.
The resolution which I offered was siinpl v a re
commendation to the party not to patronize that
filthy sheet; not that I feared its influence, because
the people of Twiggs know Andrews too well, but
because, I thought it wrong to contribute towards
the food of such a vampire upon the public morals
and decency, and such a plague spot, upon the.
character of the public press of this country, and 1
only regret that 1 withdrew it—however the effect
is the same, as I am credibly informed that six dem
ocrats discontinued it, the next day—and this, I
wot, is what brings down upon me the ire, of this
champion of Biack Mail, this spitlicking sycophant,
this religious renegade, this political demagogue,
and social blackguard, in such modest and meas
ured terms. I did not intend on sitting down to
notice this piece of fungus flesh upon the body of
humanity,one always lowers himself in his own es
teem to speak of him, but association of ideas—
think of lies, hypocrisy and blackguardism, and
the name of L. F. W. Andrews ana his attributes
force themselves upon the mind. I only- intended
to notice ‘twiggs,’ and put myself right, but it is
out; so let it go. Yours,
W. W. BOZEMAN.

PENNS BORO, Worth County, July 15, 1855.
Messrs. Editors: Permit me to imform you
that our cause is in a very prosperous condition in
this county, and Irwin—never was the prospect
brighter—“Sam” payed us a visit, and some thirty
called to see him. I know of three out of that
number, who have truly repented of their folly,
and are now shining by their zeal in our.cause.—
They- are satisfied that the Dark Lantern wont do
to tie to. I learn from a reliable source, that‘Sam’
went to Irwin to show—but was advised by some
of the leading citizens not to attempt it, for it
would be unsafe; which advice he was sensible
enough to follow. *
We have two well tried Democrats in the field
forthe Legislature, their race will be an easy one.
We poll about five hundred votes, and I think
Johnson will get a majority of two hundred out of
the five hundred. Judge Powers will receive a
handsome majority- for Judge—I am among the
people every week at the various Court grounds,
and I talk with them on the subject, and from
such is my judgment formed. We are very anx
ious to see and hear Gov. Johnson, or in fact any
of our folks. Our fare is rough, but our hearts
are warm. I am confident that the Wire-Grass
will tell a good tale in October.

July 21, 1855.
Messrs. Editors: Know Nothing stock is ev
idently below par in our market, patriotic wliigs
and democrats are rallying, and are determined to
rout “Sam” from these quarter*. He turned out
on the 16th inst., with all his force to elect a Jus
tice of the Inferior Court, but was beaten by near
ly two to one. Madam rumor says he is prepar
ing for a general smashup—the outsiders have
found hew badly they were humbuged by the in
siders, and are determined to be tools for them no
longer—quite a number refused to take the Third
Degree, and have withdraw n. b. N.

There is published in handbill form, a call for a

Bulloch, Ga., July 26th, 1855.
Messrs. Editors.—As regards politics, everything
is right in Bulloch county. I have not heard of
one man who is in favor of Andrews. A few were
for Overby, until his name was run in the Know-
Nothing Convention at Macon—they now go for
Johnson. Johnson is gaining ground in Effing
ham. The people can't stand the Hindoos.
