As an appropriate introduction to the remarks which I propose to submit to yourconaidention, it;becomes necessary to aavert fora moment to tbe condition of parties in the Suta. The an cient issues which divided the Whig and Dem ocratic parties have ceased to exist, or have been for tbe.time laid aside. A party.has / arisen, which, drawing its. support from the ranks of both of its predecessors, presents new and. important.question* >to publio considera tion. Tbe Whig party, although -mot dead, as baa been vainly supposed, abstains as a party, from entering into ibis contest. As a conserv ative body, it nevertheless exists and must con- eoutinue to do *o, as long as a genuine spirit of conservatism is cherished by the people of Georgia. Frotar the Union party, which was the oilspring of an occasion, a* well as from the Democratic pasty.large draughts have been made by this new adreuturer in the pditicel field. The majority of the Democratic: party, puoiio fituuu^ U0) jttnpij w uc ttmuintcti 11110 cmiuuii j at the Spirit—fitted to be the guardians of bur free in stitutione ? I would be very sorry to deny that among thrse emlgniuts, there are aoiue worthy men, who when ^fkmilmrixed to our institutions by long revidance among us, may become good eitisens, and capable of participating iii our priv- ilrgcs, but no candid man will deny.that a large r proportion a»e of a very different cbaracter,CoD- ' skiing for the most part of Re*!

I nut content that the liberty of vouseiviica, which is secured by tbe Constitution. Theprovisiwnsof tlia't instrument which are supposed tilde violated, are contained in the cnncluding danse of the third section of tbe sixth article, and in the first clause of the Cist article of the amendments. The first, after providing for administering an oath to the dif ferent putdie tuuctionaries, contains the follow ing provision: “But no religious test shall ever bo reqnsted as a qualification tor any office, or public trust under the .United States.” The second declares: “That Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting tbe free exercise thereof.” The Prospect. Our acconnts from all portions of thd State are most cheering, and inspiro us with CoDfi dent hope for tbe success of tbd American party in tbe approaching election. The issues ti at divide the two parties are beginning to be un deratood by tbe people, as error and slander are made to vanish before tbe light of truth and argument For a long time our opponents have dodged and evaded tbe true issues of principle, preferring tw^mislead the people by inflamma tory harangues upon oaths and rituals and se cret societies.

Federalism, perse cution, treason,' affiliation with freesoilism, have each, in their font; been laid to our charge:— Tbeir orators and presses have .denounced the principles of our party aa the sure precursors of intestine war, and for fear of losing their reputations for prophecy, have set abbrit, by iu- cor diary appeals to Catholics" and foreigners, by aume>(in point of nun bers) inconsiderable secessions from the ranks of its amtent oppo nents—and. perhaps, .yet more, by the feet*, that tbe great u.njuriiy.of them have hitherto stood aioof fr-.m the contending parties. Th? D-mocr; tie party, even thus mutilated, advances boldly t*» the c- nfficf. waging uncom promising hostility against this new aspirant to political power. Tbo present contest is therefore waged between this unbroken rem nant of the ancient Democracy, strength* n -d as 1 have before intimated, and an association of individuals^or orders, who have assumed to themselves the name of the AMERICAN PAR TY. In tbe maneuvering preparatory to tbe actual conflict, die Democrat^ party, with its usual tart, has secured a po»i>u>n to windward, by which it has the privilege of becoming the assailant, and of selecting iU point of attack, while its opponents, organized for tbe purp-se of correcting abuses, hire found themselves une pectedly put on the defensive.

Icball enUiavur loccnfirut ine sabsiunce ol turn tract, by u fe w plain arguments. ••With persecution 1 have nothing to do—I refuse tbe admission of any Slate, because its Constitution does not recognize slavery as apart of its social system. I bold tbat tha territories of the United States; are tbe property, not of Coburess, but of tbe whole peop e of the Uni ted States, until such ten itory becomes a State. I do not believe that Congress lias the power to abolish slavery in the District of Columbia, apart froiu tbe contract with Maryland, or con siderations of public faith, but as ^Congress bas no constitutional power to violate n solemn con tract, ur to c-itumu a breach ol tbe national faith, I think they are equally precluded by these considerations. Ihescarc tny opinions on the questions pre sented to me. I desire to add a briel remark on another subject: The several parties in this State have all planted themselves on the fourth r<solution of the Georgia Convention «»f 1850, and the inter pretation given to it by some persons, is that upon .the happening of either of tbe contingen cies speeitie-i in it, Georgia is to prepare for an immediate “disruption of tbe Union." I do notsuundcrstaod it. I think it conld not have beta so understood by its framers. I am sure that this is not the fair import of its terms, and still more confident tbat such is not the feeling of the people of Georgia. In the specified contingencies, Georgia pledges herself to resist, ‘-even as a last resort” to the disruption of the Union. The term last, is a relative* term. It necessarily implies some prececding so;i->n—sffme honest, well meant, patriotic efforts to secure your rights, without the.necessity of having recourse to this last fearful resort, the disruption of tbe Union. I implore my countrymen to give to this subject, their earnest, anxious consideration—not to be diverted from it by tbe declamation of politi cal aspirants—tbe.ugitations of tne canvass—or the excitement of the hustings—but calmly, quietly, in the retirement of their own homes, to consider wbat it is, to which this controversy is tending—and hutubly supplicating tbat Al mighty being, under whose protecting Provi dence our fathers laid tbe foundations of this great Republic,* to imbue us-with tbe same con ciliatory spirit, by which they were animated, to seek under His beneficent guidance, tbe aor Iution of tbe problem which shall reconcile Southern rights with the perpetuity of the Union. Respectfully, your fellow-citizen. Jxo. Macpheksox BerrieIv, feishood, every scheme tbat human ingenuity could invent, have been resorted to lb order to galvanize an expiritt&Factioff, and to cast odium upon a noble and patriotic party whose only object is to restore the government to,tbe prin ciples of Washington, and dritre back the polit ical harpies tbat are now praying upon' its-vi- ubuse, tbe contest has but few parallels in the annuals of party warfare. These plans of attack, industriously pursued bare succeeded in most of the Southern States; yet we have reason to believe that a brighter day is abdut to dawn upon tbe friends of the American party, and that the “Empire State of the South” is destined to roil back the mighty •tide that has been pressing onward for years over the rights and- liberties of the American people. * Let every American contemplate the solem nity of tbe crisis, and let every true patriot gird ap bis loins for the great battle of the con- stituicon and tbe country l—Sav.

The ‘Bargain” Johnson Organs. It is really amusing to see What stilts the “dry rot” Johnson organs get on abont the high chracter of JpbDson and Cooper—their veracity, integrity, Ac., in relation to tbe “Bar- gan” or the ,, arrangentevi. n They have no defence to make—they Cannot vindicate the transaction, and their.only hope of eseape is, to try and blind tbe people by a grand display of gruodiloquence about character, integrity, ve- racity. Ac. This won’t do gentlemen, you have to face the music, and show, to the people that Cooper and Johnson, are wbat yon represent them. We have shown tbat M. A. Cooper’s state ments are not reliable, in relation ” to the dis criminations made for bie benefit. Oar fiwtt and figures are obtained from tbe-freight lists, which show w|hat Mark A Cooper does pay, and show also that his statements are untrue. This is the-music you have to face, and you must enter at once upon your defence, opthe people will render a verdict against y our friends John son, Cooper and Cowart. We challenge a refutation of our expose of this whole affair, or a denial from any respectable source of any single fact stated by us. Tbe truth is. the than who pretends'that Maj. Cooper bus vindicated himself iu tbe letter, should have Coi. Benton’s operation, of “cat ting for tbe samples” performed on bim imme diately.—There is no sensible man who does not know better—who does not knpW that he never once touched tbe question of discrimination made by the Road between him and his neigh bors. That is the question of discrimination; and he never attempted to show that the charge was not true. Why? Because he knew it was true, and a full and plain expose of tbe rates of freight would establish it beyond a doubt.
