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 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 Fitz Hniry Warren, record Assi-tnm P. M. General, agreed that Maj Hohbie should not have superseded four-horse coach temporary contract with such inferior service —that during the present embarrassments upon the route, my pay was not extiuvugunt —that if it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.
