Railroad villages arc comparatively a recent feature in village building. They usually begin with a depot, followed by a p**st office, and a blacksmith shop, and the contents of a couple of pedlar's parks duly distributed upon batf-a-dnkcu shelve*, and they are born, and christened, and waiting to grow. Tbe trains run t« and fro. and the passengers see the little group cluttered round the track, and wonder What they dd there, and why they do wot go on with the train. By-and bye. bouses get to bean epidemic, and np they go, hero and there, and al! about. Streets are staked, and lots are n o S -red, and a public square Is reserved, and they have a just fee. and ad»etOr, and a young lawyer, and. “stated preaching” once in two weeks. That’s a pretty good beginning, hut It is <>nlg a begin ning. A young Sophomore, out of funds, and looking for a place to teach a school, get* off a straggling train some day. Every body knows be fo there. He reaches there at two o’clock, and at a quarter past three everybody knows who be Is, and what be is. and whence he is. a d tbe squire sees him, and the doctor shows him round the toam—waives bis hands towards the prai rie, and dilates upon its resources; towards tbe 'town, and pronounces a eulogy upon its enter prise, and the young man is charmed, and over tbe Store be climbs at once, np one flight of stairs into a “ High 8rhool.” Things go on bravely, and a pnblie-spirited individual, who. a* be says, has more room than be want*, gets the painter—for meanwhile such an artitan bas taken passage in the village en rant* to greatness—to emblazon his name in very black letters, upon a very broad board, and there is a general rejoicing tthe new “ Hotel.” where the lawyer argues with the. storekeeper nightly, while the debtor Completes the trian gle. upon tbe destinies of the World in general, and Depofdotn In particular. What they lark now is a newspaper. By- and Hye, an old press is for sale in a neighbor ing town. and a "tramping jour” bas stranded upon their beach, and the lawyer promises to write their leaders, tbe doctor will contribute their obituaries, the schoolmaster do the puz zle* and the poetry, while the blacksmith and tbe merchant promise to be liberal patrons in the way of advertising. The paper appears; like tbe village, it is small, bat with tbe vilage it longitudinal cradle, nod secured down sudl < K-nti.v to keep it steady.

Jto Dear Sir: I have received your letter Inquiring whether ■ r not I will he a oundhluic for the executive office, and wlmt. iu my opinion ••we old Union men ought now to do.” In older to do myself justice, I must before answer ing your first inquiry, briefly review some of the occurences of tbe present year. I neither expected, nor desired to be a candidate for the office in question, but, yielding to the wishes, publicly and privately expressed, of many who had given me a generous support iu the Inst canvass, I have repeated y said, that If cnlicd upon hy those friends. I would respond sfflrtn atirely. I think I do not err in saying, that, fora while, the indications were, that the oppo nents of tbe present Federal snd State Admin istrations would unite upon me. Sunn, how ever, it appeared that many of them who had prevlourly been my firm, undevinting support, era, had connected themselves with n new pn liiical organization, and were disinclined to vote for any man without its pale. Tula state- ment was repeately m ule to me. nnd I whs ur ged by persons who were, nnd Ly others who were not. members, to join this new or-rniiiza tion; which, after serious consideration, nnd with the ntost thorough conviction of duty, I positively declined to do. Yon will remem ber. tlmt after having been repeatedly nnd ur gently pressed upon the consideration of tlm public through tire newspapers, in connection with the office of Governor, my name whs end denly dropt. I advert to the fnet only to sbv that this fnllawcd immediately upon my ref tsnl to join the new political connection referred to I do not eumplain of ilm course pursued towards me hy the new party. Although tina ble to agree with them. I Lelieve their motives are patriotic, and cheerfully concede that they were n« free to withhold their suffrages from me. as I was to decline party absociatiuns with them. Here I wns willing to let the mnttcr re*:. Feeling neither chagrin nor regret that the public eye had Wen averted from me S ill, however, those of tuy political friends, wl o, like myself, were content with the Union or gnnisution. formed upon what is called the Georgia platform, continued to urge me for ward —some (of whom yon ore one) suggesting my announcement without nomiuetion. ami others calling for a convention of the Union Party. This has induced a revie" <*f the ••hole ground, that I might reach a conclusion at once consistent with my duty as a citizen, and just to myself. The result is. that I see Un people of Georgia preparing for an active po- litirxl contest, and that there are. at present, hut two organized parties iu the State, viz: the Democratic, and the Know Nothing or A men can. unless the temperance association tnav W called a prtlitienl party. I know not how it* adherents may regard it. hut sincerely re sin -ting their motives and feelings. I shall not do the cause the injury in placing it in that category It j*, I believe, pretty generally conceded that those who are not within either •f these organizations, are too few in number for effective, independent action. I have con cluded therefore that being neitbe n Democrat, n-r a Know Nothing, there is no place for me in this contest. There can he no plainer pn»p o iti»n. than that he. who in times of high party excitement, find- himself without a party, is not only freed from all obligations of duty to present himself as a candidate for popular suf f age. but is forbidden by proper self-respect do so. Independently of these considerations, there is another difficnly in the way of my eandidaev. I presume the s p •••rtersof each candidate (he they few or many) will expert him to canvass the State—to speak wherever a convenient stomp can he found. his I am resolved not to do. I greatly prefer the ancient usage of the Republic, that of select! g candidates hose merits are known to the People, and- then leaving the People, on comparison of those merits, to choose between them. I an- sweryon. therefore, my dear sir. t at. under existing circumstances. I decline being a can didate, and sincerely trust I shall hear no more on the subject. To yonr second inquiry, what shall he done hy those si:nated as you are. I answer, that in my opinion the proper course is, to adopt the recommendation of the meeting recently held in Temperance nail. Columbus. That proposes a Convention of the people of the State, irre spective of party distinctions. It looks to the united action of conservative men everywhere. North. South, East and West, to put down a crusade against a particular section of the Union—nor n eeetionni party, but a party c» _ 1(y „ mn „ ,. nn (ft , tinv , h ; „ s i ; llf ,r l,i* will.” extensive with the Union, to crush .ec'.o/W ni( . rn „hv*i.ian. -Faith.

May they be as slow to renounce, as they ha ve been to adopt itv Gad they trtadu it their platform, unique in stmetnre, nnd primary in importance, instead of using its timhers to prop their rickety, decaying party structure—had they met the overture for Gergiaus to stand upon it. as one people, one party, we should have hailed their action, as an omen of better times.

Both of the-e objects would be defeated, if the States j may confer on aliens the right of voting and the other privileges belonging to citizens. On that supposition, it would be almost impossible to conceive whnt good eonld he obtained, or evil orevenred Ity eonfe ring the power on Consress. The power would be perfectly nngmory. A State might hold ont every improper induce ment to emigration, as lively ns if tbe power did not exist, nnd might c-nfer on the alien ill the political privileges belonging to a nnrive born citizen not only to the great injnry of the goVefnmehf of tbe State, hnt to nn improper con trol over the Government of the Union. To il lustrate whnt.I hare said—suppose the domin ant party in New York, finding political power about to depart from them, should, to maintain their ascendancy, extend the right of suffrage to the thnnsnnds of aliens of every language nnd from every portion of the World.

The addition of a few thousand votes either way might turn the scale, nnd the electors might, in fact, owe their election, on ‘he supposition, to the votes of unnaturalized foreigners: The Presidential 'election might depend on the electo ral tote of the State and a President. he chosen in realitt, hit them : THAT IS.
