Andyotthey are democrats and desire to revive

are not sincere in tbeir^iro’essions. They care no
more lor democracy to day than they did when they
tliiew aside their party ties and vuliently contended
for a now party organization fur the defence of. the
South, professedly, but in truth-and in fact, the first
step towards the dissolution of the Union.
Ill conclusion, Mr, Editor, permit me to suggest
to my tlemoeratio friends n simple test by which
they may ascertain whether these professed fiicnds
of the old-democrat iepnrty are sincere or nrc at-
teinjjting to deceive tlio people, by, the use ol an old
n'nd time.honored political name. In the first pluce
ask nil shell, if they are willing to east their vote for
John M. Binrirn for President in IbAil And if lie
is a southern rights man, and u true blue firo*eater,
lib will answer you that lie must support Mr. Ber-
yien if he stunt Uhbe put forth as the southern riglits
candidate. And’yct he claims Uiut he is a demo-
.prat, and ho has denounced good democrats as ren
egades who happens to be for tlio Uniou, and act
ing with the Constitution^ Union party. Oh !
shntnc, whore is thy blush ! Again—ask this lover
^f the old line dcindurncy if ho Is willing to support
LeWis Cass the old standardbcarcrofthcdemocra-
tfjr at the,next election for President, and Howell
Cobh us Vico Prosiderit, and they will tell you
promptly mid emphatically that they are not. and
AVould not do it under any sort of part** drill Has
(jeucrnl Cass changed since thj last election 1 no
miiiVimys hb 1ms, and nono can say that hu is not
tjs sound iu tho ilemocrntie faith to day, as he was

to cast tholr sujjjriiges for “him I Again—ask If tlioy
bfJXyiRihifto go*into the, conventidii With The tfR-
ional democ/atie onrty (and this is thu only dem

yon.that hi 4 will. I will either give you my ears, or
hi is no flre-enter.. And yet Is the face of these con-
cluflvo tests of deniocrntio soundness, the newspa

From the Sjuthorner..
Mr. Editor.—I observe in your paper of
the 13ih insl., ua utiutiyiuOUsuoniiiiuiiication,
winch allude,) to two letters published in the
Rome Couiier of llie27ili ult,, from ihe Bu-
leuu of 1st assistant P. M. General'and Son-
ifiiii lierri.ea, in ro^nrd lo the late dilliculties
in the mail service between Rome and Gun
ter’s Landing. 1 suppose tins writer to be
tlie siune “Vindicator” w ho appeared holme
the public nt tl,e time nbovo ineutkme.L <">d
if lie hndn, w as ilicu confined liunycll to Iks
disinterested laudations ol Col. Jcmlson, I
should a t have troubled the public, but ic-
lied upon the good sense of the cpuilnuiiil)
to appreciate my position, and coriecl any
inisiipprcliension iis to niysSff. AVhy am I
blameless for the recent derangement nf the
mails? 1st. Because in this happy Republic
an have the right to bid or nut to bid for
itiuil routes—tnuke contracts or decline lo
make them with any uf the Department.--
2nd Because iny bid IW fiuir-horso coin-1
service at $0970 was rejected by tlie De
partment, at the regular letlings Inst April
uad contract made w ith another at a pay in
ndequnlc to (lie-service. 3d. Because when
1 bid last Spring, corn woe worth thirty
cents per bustiel upon the line, and when In
July (tie route was ulfered to me at toy bid
made in April, and tejected by the Depart
ment, corn was worth one dollar per bushel;
occasioned by the unprecedented drought
with which we aro all fmnilinr. 4th Be
cause it could not be expected lliut J should
loose monoy by making a contract with the
government for the performance of a mail
service fur a sum inadequate, under the
chnngcd stale of the times, there being no
obligation moral or lognl requiring me so lo
do. dlli. Because the temporary contract
made with me fur four-horse couch: transpor
tation, which was on the 1st of January last
superseded by the famous spring wiii'ou line
was, for n sum not more than sufficient fur
that grude uf service nt (lie ndt-nneed stutc
nf the provision market—null this agree
ment (efiectivo only during the pica.ore o
the P. M. General,) was ntfi expected tn con
linuc at temporary rule longer than'tho time.-
existed which created necessity fur sud
contract Gib. Because it wiis the doty oi
Mnj. Ilobh e, the head of the contract office
if lie considered the temporary pay exfrnvn
gnnt, to re advertise (lie route that all migh
have an opportunity uf bidding lorsuuiiser
vice as its import,nice demanded. And 7th
Because Maj. S. R. Hobble, tbo then 1st as
sistnnt P. M. Gciioral, employed the only
instrument tlml could have been used t,
convulse the mail arrangements oil sa d line
arid ibis done with a full knowledge of ilie

Mn .Eoitoii :—1 was not a little surprised
and amused by a communication in the last
“ Southerner,” over the signature of “ Ma-
nt Citizens.” It contains a very lugubri
ous appeal lo Ihe old democrats, lo quit the
ranks of the Unionists and rally upon Ihe
old platform. Now, 1 am an old democrat
and expect to live and d,e one, as my father
did before me. But l am also n Union ninn,
and belong to Ihe “ Constitutional Union
Parly of Georgia," and I expect to remain
in that party as long as I hear the voice of
disunion and secession in - the land. By
common consent last fall, olH party issue-
and -names w ere dropped in my neighbur-
liftodi and whigs and democrats met together
as brethren, mid' organized the new Union
Party td savo the country. Well, sir, we
buried ihe old party tomahawk in the same
grave with the old U.S. Bank, and larifT, &c,,
and for one, I have no notion of proving re
creant to my new ties, io gratify some fire-
csiting aspirant. When the “ Southerner”
a'tcps publishing abusive articles aguinst the
Union iparty and the government, and op-
poses the mail, course of South Carolina, he
and his writers may gull the young kid-glove
democrats of Floyd, blit (lie old democrats
of Gordon* can’t-he- caught with such chnlf.
They were not caught last November—they
will apt be caught nexl-Octobcr.

each case my interest being „(fee i d mjuri
uusly. I am therefore, force I in re nrd
Maj. liubhie us an utiicer not to be died up
on when his personal prejudices are nrmu-ed
To arrive at a correct understanding of (hit
matter, it is proper lo -tale that the bids of
J. G. I,itt,m, - J. I 1 .'. Rru-ide and my uwu,
were the only bids ,,„,de on it.™ route ai (he
regular lettiiig*', nr.dnna other pi,,porii:,,n
nbured upon the hooks uf ihe Depart mem
until nliuut llie 1st of Decemher last. Non
I have never troubled, myself lo euqniie
whether Maj. tiohbie f or Col. Jemlsoir ui.tdi
ihe first elfort toward the spring wagon ini
pruvemeat. I have said, fflwcver, thut
-thought Jemisou less to Idiime f„r Ihe mail
deiuiigemeat than lloiiti e.. -The hiis,i,e— of
the one was to make the lii-st cmi rn.-i and
the most money from it he could. Tiie du
lu-s of the oilier were to guard the public
interest in the mail Irunspurtutiun, and at the
sunie time have some fagot'd to the goud
fail!, of the Government in keeping op sud
grude* of mail service as correspond in char
acter and rcqiectahilily with iho impo'rl.uit
depending connexion* for which bonds Imd
been executed in heavy penalties.
When at Washington, m January, to ar
range our mail inutlnrs, I teceived the aid u
ihe Georgia delegation (exce.it Senfitlr Ber
lien, whose ucquaiiitnnce I did not succeed
in making) a poriion of the Alabama delega
tion, and Maj. Thomas B. Cooper of Cedar
Blull, Ala, who was in Washington till laisi
ne*s with the depug To Maj. Cooper’s aid
and until ing efforts, N. A'lahafua und We-te u
Georgia, are more indebted than to any otli
er man, for ihe recent mail improvements
ordered by the 1’. ftj. General. I cannot
here neglect to return my thanks, and those
of their constituents itucres.ed, to Me-sis.
Ring, Alston, Harra Hubbard und ililliaid, for
prompt and elficeiit aid. Those -gentlemen
investigated the Book, papers aiidc.ane.pun-
denco connected with this matter, and they,
together with the Post Master General, and
Col. Fitz Hniry Warren, record Assi-tnm
P. M. General, agreed that Maj Hohbie
should not have superseded four-horse coach
temporary contract with such inferior service
—that during the present embarrassments
upon the route, my pay was not extiuvugunt
—that if it bad been extravagant, it was his
duty as head of the contract office to re-ad-
vertise and invite proposals for such service
as the country had a right lo expect.
Had Mr. Berrien given himself any further
trouble than a diplomatic call at the Post-
Office Department, he might have spared his
gratuitous inferences.
Tlie writer in your lust paper, J know nut
who ho is, charges me with “pretended
sympathy for Rome, and indirect exertions
lo have-the transportation of the mail, which
passes through Rome to Gunter’s Landing,,
changed to go by Chatlouooga,”..
I shall not he t'e pretend that I have any at
tachment for a route, that all admit has been
under my auspices brought Irom obscurity to
importance ; Irotn a triweekly to a daily-
line. Until a few months ago, my through
ticket"arrangements carried passengers over
this route, from Glmrleston and Savannah to
Memphis, and various other points Wqjt
with but one payment: Those through-
ticket arrangements have been broken up by.
the Rail Roads on account of an alleged bet
ter route for the travel via Chattanooga. ..
I labored against sKong opposition- all lo
jug lettjngs,;for. % continuant ofLtl
recently made the lowest iliruuglm'ieket ever -, ,,
established over this route from Kingslun.lp
the different Western termini, giving my own-
portion of the route only half fare ? But
when strong companies are using every effort-
in get the river nifiil established, it become*
us to know who gets the contract if it is es-.
tnblished. In regard to this multer I speak .
and act liir tnyself. It is known'that piy
steamboat associate* have been t in fa'vVr of
t o Chattanooga mule since tlie completion *
of tie Western k Aliuntic lluil Road'to til* . -

In the communication referred'to', I find-
the follow ing.'■entiment J
“Thosemour citizens who iook.an inter* •
est in the lesliiratiuii nf Powell to The con- •
tract, no doulil acted in good fuilh ; and ha»- -
ing thus acted must feel Hint their confidence
Inis been grossly ohusedihy. (he ydfy persOn ., V..K.
whose interest they were endcavofuig,tp ad-
The same writer alleges that “petitions'
were gotten up privately nt the distance of ^.i
persons interested.”
1 am satisfied thaflhe reverse of ilha.above
statements is kliown to be the fact:by the
whole community, nnd particularly by those -
who know me; and ns the writer in question
has abandoned his assumed character of
“Vindicator” and choose to take that of Ae-
cuser, and os his attack upon me is unwar* <
ranted, unfounded and unprovoked, aiid'ir.-. -
tended to do me a private injury,-I pronounce
the spirit with which it is dictated, false,,
base and cowurdly.

The Crovp— How' to prevent it.--iA .
correspondent of the New 'York- - Mirror, a.
med cal practitioner, in an a-ticle on this sub- -
ject, says
“The promoiiitotysympton of croupes a
shnll, sutuirous cough. The patient U not
sick—litis no fever, ns nflcn os in a cquimotr
c ,ld—is lively, perhaps even gayer than'usual 1
his hand* ino cool, his face nol llushed,- peg-,
sihly a shade paler than usua^. This solitary '
symplom may last for days, with im material
increase or abatement,and without attracting
any notice ; suddenly, however, the disease,
hitherto Intent hursts forth in all ilsfatal fury,
nnd too often continues its ravages uncheck
ed, to the consummation. The-remedies for
the first symptom of croup are simple, nnd m
most instances perfectly efficient'.. They are:
a musturd poultice, nr a strip uf fiannel dip
ped in oil or turpentine or spiritfi.ol haflt»
horn, applied to. the throat, and nauseat
ing doses uf Hive’s syrup to be continued as
long it* the cough remains. By this, timely
employment of the.-e mild ngeuts, l-'u|il|C*i-
