I know not that I can do any better, but if

When,aid bad been asked of the Legialature
to help other neglected portions of the 8late,
the excuse has been und always will be—till
the rood is made profitable, or sold, that tbo
debts contracted to build the present road are
too great to allow of any new obligations to
be incurred for new enterprises. Taxes may
be complained of, poor children neglected,
•very other new Railroad improvemement dis
regarded, and still, as the U. S. Bank did the
nation, this monster source of patrongo and
power is suffered to bestride the State almost
without a murmur. It will take the aid, I
apprehend, of all these interests to force from
the dominant party, this great source of pat-
roxuge and power.—Our people, a few years
since, came near revolutionizing the govern
ment on account of the encouragement given
to domestic manufactures, and are now quietly
losing an amount equal to seven-eighths of
their taxes, to the encouragement, I fear, of
domestie plunder. The road is seed like a
bankrupt trader, aod in Tennessee, the other
day, $38,000 damages were recovered against
it. His beset by lawyers within and without.
Its doors, like those of a broken merchant, are
‘•the hammering places” of half the constables
and sbirifis of Cherokee, Georgia. Its depots
an offices for the filling of summons and writs;
its name seems to bo as familiar upon the court
docket is John Doe sad Richard Boo, hot like
poof Dick Boo, the Road is generally at the
bottom; generally defendant. And some Sat
urday sreaing, In Tennessee, from the top of a
whisky barrel, a constable will knock off all

and the tax payors of Georgia, be called on to

would have boon no damages. If the road, or
rather the managers, had done their duty, there
would have been no injury. So that the feet
of damages is evidence of deroHet duty on the
part of the managers. Taka the other horn j
of the dilemma, that the damages were not
sustained but improperly reoovered, then there
was mismanagement by the salaried Attorney
ta the eoaduet at the suit, (may I not say pen*
sloned partisan,) unless the jury poijured them*
selves, by finding against evidence (too violent
a presumption to be made when there are two
others ao probable.)
Faming over the question whether Maj.
was entitled to a discrimination in bis
of some twenty-five per cent in prefer*
ence to small, and all other large shippers, we
find these facts admitted by him. That he for
eleven months, sought with remonstrances to
have justioe done him by n reduction of his
freights, but without success, till after the nom
ination of the present candidate of tbo Demo*
eratie party, and the determination of Me). C.
to oppose him bemuse of refoaal to do him jus*
tice; that ho was injured at the rata of $6,000
to $8,000 per annum; that said nominee, as
early as June, 1854, alluding to said injustice,
said it was wrong and unjust, and ho would see
too it, Ac-; that not only was MsJ. Cooper suf
fering injustice, hot it was ‘against the interest
of our 8tate, as stated by MnJ. Cooper, and as
he says, ‘avowed by Mr. Yonge,* and he, Maj.
C., after the reduction of his freight* determi
ned to stand as he bad stood, a supporter of the
democratic candidate;—The injustice done him
and the injury suffered by the State is frsquent-
ly reiterated by Mn)> Cooper, and it seems he
was Incessant in his appeals to those in power
for redress, but without eueees* for eleven
months, aod until after the nomination of the
democratte candidate for Governor.
If, notwithstanding constant remonstrmneos
for eleven months, it had been neglected, he
should have been discharged as soon as it earns
to the knowledge of the Governor. This, the
best view of tho ease, is vety significant of the
reason why the State has five millions of useless
property. If, under the constant remonetran
ces of such a man as Mask A. Coopor, who,
when ‘‘he did what he could and said what he
ought,” could not receive attention under ele
ven months, when the interest of tho road was
combined with his, I think the interests of tho
State, accompanied by no remonstrance, might
well be expected to go unnoticed for eleven
years, instead of months. And it seems that
tho interest of the State and remonstrances' of
Cooper felled to prevail with the powers above,
till moved and instigated by political motives;
for the interests of tbo State and the remon
strances of Cooper were not heeded till after
the democratic nominetion, and Maj. Cooper’s

Shawnee Mission, Aug. 23, *55.
I received yours of the 6tb on the 20th. I
did not expeot tho explanations and reasons as
signed In my communication of the 11th of
July to have been sstisfootory to the President,
for libit confident that the President's oourse
being dictated altogether by political policy
which would not be successful without the re
moval of an equal number of Territorial officers
from the North and from the South, was fully
determined upon (ar parte as it evidently was)
on the dot*. of your letter of tho 4th of June,
and I gave the statement of the foots, and the
reasons which induced me to beeome a party to
those contracts in the way of explanations, so
that the facts and my reasons might be placed
on file in the department
The Legislature has deemed it proper and
right to locate the seat of jnstioo in and for tbo
county of Calhoun at the town of Calhoun—a
town laid ont oa tho reserve granted to the half
breed Kansas Indians, (in which neither of the
parties to the contracts heretofore submitted by
Governor Reeder and others have any interest
whatsoever), and surely, they would not have
done so if they had conceived for one moment
that by so doing they apparently violated the
aots of Congress, or the regulations of the de
partment
I ask for information, what aot of Congress,
and what regulations of the department I bad
apparently violated, and I consider that I had
a right to expeet that I should receive such in
formation, and as it has not been given, I must
think that I have not apparently violated even
the spirit of a single act of Cnngres or regula
tion of the department otherwise tbo informa.
tion would have been imported in yoor letter of
the 6th inst.
The 27th section of the act known as the Ne
braska and Kansas aot fixes the tenure of office
of the Judge of the Supreme Court in these
words, “and they shall hold their offices for the
period of four years, and natU their snceessois
shall be appointed and qualified.” No power
is given by the bill to the President to remove.
And if you will examine the tenure of office ol
the Governor, the Secretary, the Distriet Attor
ney and Marshall you will see a marked diffe
renoe. The power to remove all and each of
these officers is expressly retained in these words
“unless sooner removed by the President.'’ (See
the 20, 21, 27, and 29th sections; pamphlet
act 1863 5, p. 284.)
I must think, if the English language means
anything, that the President has not the power
or the right to remove the Judges of this Ter
ritory at bis will and pleasure; and, as the Ter
ritorial Legislature has deemed it right and pro-
The Designs ef Foreign Governments
Against the United States.
Mr. Zolllcoffer, n member of Congress from
Teunessee,ln n speech lately mads by him,
says:
“Bat before I cite to yon the startling feots I
»m about to addoos, allow me to ask your atten
tion for a moment to a remarkable political pre
diction of a distinguished coble, the Duke of
Richmond, lately Governor-General of Canada,
on our northern border, and a deadly enemy to
the United States. Speaking of this goverment,
he says: ’ —
“It will be destroyed; it onght not, and will
not be permitted to exist. The curse of 'the
French revolution, and subsequent wars^|nd
commotions in Europe, are to be attributed to
its example; and ao long as it exist* no Prince
will be safe upon his throne; and the Sove
reigns of Europe are aware ofit, and they have
determined upon its destruction—they have
come to an understanding upon this sub
ject, and have decided on the means to ac
complish it; and they will eventually succeed
by subversion rather than conquest. All the
low, surplus population of Europe will be car
ried Into that country. It is and will be the re
ceptacle for the bad and disaffeoted population
of Europe; when they are not wanted for sol
diers or to supply the navies, and the govern
ments of Europe will favor suoh a course.—
This will create a surplus and majority of low
population who are so very easily excited i and
they will bring with them their principles, and
in nine eases out of ten adhere to their ancient
and former government* laws and manners,
and transmit them to their posterity, and in ma
ny instances propagate them among the natives.
These men will become citizens, and by the
Constitution and laws will be invested with the
right of suffrage. Henee, discord, dessensions,
anarchy, and civil war, will ensue, and some
popular individual will assume the government
and restore order, and the sovereigns of Eu>
rope, the emigrants and many of the natives
will sustain him.”
“The Church of Rome has a design upon that
country, and it will in time be the established
religion, and it will aid in the destruction of that
Republic. I have conversed with many of the
sovereigns and princes of Europe, and they
have unanimously expressed these opinion* re
lative to the Government to subvert it.”
So said the Duke of Riehmond; and in con
firmation of bis statement it may be remar
ked, that some of our consuls in foreign
eigu countries, have officially informed onr Gov
ernment of the sending of ship-loads of guilty
and degraded men from Europe, and it Is a well
known feet, that there is a vast fond in Europe
to pay the passage ef emigrants here who can
not pay it themselves.
The Fruits of s stumping Governor.
We elfp the following paragraphs from two
of onr exchanges, that onr readers may is#

rs-sleetion, a circumstance, we believe, unex
ampled in the history of the State:

Who can tell ns the whereabouts of the Gov
ernor of Georgia? A month or so sines, Gar
nett Andrews resigned the office of Judge of
the Superior Court, and the resignation wse
not long in reaching bis Excellency, who very
soon filled the vacancy with one of hie own
partisan friends. Not long afterwards, howev
er, a citizen of this place wrote toMilledge-
viile for information of mueb importance to
him, and the gratifying answer he received,
wee, that the Governor woe not at home; as
soon as he returned the desired information
would be forthcoming. And that's the last of
it! We think it will remain in that condition
for some time to come. Bat for the kindness of
a friend the gentleman referrd to would, ere
this, have been liable to pecuniary sacrifice—
jo.t for want of a Governor, who, instead of
trampoosingthe State begging for votes, would
attend to the legitimate business of his office.
Gov. Jeluuen’s northern Allies.
TheN. Y. National Democrat gives tbs fol
lowing sketch of the nominees of the National
Democratic Administration party of Now York,
as brought out at their late Convention:
Hatch, (for Secretary of State,) ran last year
as an anti Nebraska candidate for Congress.
Stetson, (for Comptroller,) was a Van Boren
Bnfialo Platform Free Soils* opposed to Cass
in 1848.
Awley, (for Canal Commissioner,) presided
over an anti Nebraska meeting last year, and
daring the same year joined the Know Noth
ings.
Jervis, (for State Engineer,) was a Van Ba
ron Buffalo Platform Free Soiler, opposed to
Cass in 1848.
Thurston, (for State Treasurer,) was ditto.
Tilden, (for Attorney General,) was ditto.
Agin, for Prison Inspector, was a Van Boren
Buffalo Platform Free Soiler, opposed to Cass
in 1848, and in 1851 opposed to and resisted
the execution of the Fugitive Stave Law.
The Macon Messenger notices these nomi
nees [all, all to a man, Freesoti and Buffalo
Platform men]—men who supported Martin
Van Boren, “the Northern man with Southern
principle*" and adds: These then are the
Northern allies of Georgia Democrats in sus
taining the Administration of Gen. IPierce!—
These are the representatives of that party.
the great State ot New York with which we
are told by Georgia Democrat* the South can
safely and consistently act! These are the rep
resentatives of an important portion of that
great, indestrnetible. invincible, immaculate
Democratic party of the North, to which we
are told by Georgia Democrats ta look for the
protection of Southern Rights!
The 8th resolution of the Macon platform of
Ao American party, declares that “the Wes
tern and Atlantic Railroad was projected and
built for the general good of the whole people of
Georgia, and utterly condemns any policy which
has sought, or which may seek, to make it sub.

Such fine sentiments have for ten yean been

Passing over As appointment, without law,
of Mr. Cowart, I will interpret Ae admitted
feots most fevorably for Ae manager of Ae
A. The first is Ae recovering, to Tonnes-
, of $36,000 damages against Ae road. We
have Ae verdict of sworn jurors or arbitrators
AAt so much damages were sustained. If the
foad h«d im
opposition. Now do Ae people of Georgia feel
safe to trusting five million of property in
hands that cannot be moved to act for justice
and Ae interest of Ae road, unless party incen
tives are added Aereto.
The great reason why State property usually
proves unprofitable, Is Ae presumption that Ae
manager’s political affiliations are too strong for
Ae regard be may feel for Ae State’s interest.
Do not the presumption and fact agree in Ais
case ? The managers of Ae road cannot ask
more than that corruption of motive be waived,
and that justice wasasstroog with MqJ. Coop
er, as be represents,
argued the case.
Untii Ae foots are changed the case stands
Ans—either it was wrong to return to the old
freights in favor of Mark A. Cooper, reducing
his freights 25 or 30 per cent, or if just and
right towards Maj. Cooper, and to Ae interests
of Ao State, as he say* Aen it should have
been done at onee, and not have taken eleven
to do that which could and would have
done by a business man wiA Ac dash of
a pen to eleven seconds.
The stronger Maj. Cooper makes his and Ae
States' claim for justice, Ae stronger be makes
Ae charge of negligeoce and incapacity for
busines* on Ae part of Ae management. He
but Ae more powerfully shows Ae people of
(Georgia Ae reason wby Aeir five millions of
capital are a dead loss; why Aey are losing
seven-eighth* as mneb as Aey pay for taxes,
wby all oAer new enterprises are neglected;
wby poor children are uneducated; wby Ae
largest property in (he State is Ae most worth
ies* aod finallally, wby Ae management should
be changed.
As I understand, MqJ. Cooper’s statement,
the neighboring depots—Cartersv ills for in
stance, wiAin some two miles of bis—are still
paying Ae high frights of which he complain
ed and became relieved. How is it that Aey
are suffering without relief, Ae injustice under
which Aey have groaned for more than twelve
month* according to Maj, C’s. account?
As forms Ae interest of the road is concerned,
to Ais property, I Aink it more jeopardised in
Ae hands of a manager whose indolence, neg.
ligenee, indifference, or other like cause, made
him as slow to more as -represented by Maj.
Cooper, than if under Ae control of one mo.
▼ed by partisan motives. Tl:e otter incapaci
ty for business manifested in the first case Is
quite as dangerous to Ae State property, as
Ae unserupulousness indicated in Ae last.
My argument has been built upon no oharge
or intimation of nnseropnlonsness, for I have
taken Ae most fovorable view of. Ae ease.
And while I am unwilling to admit that loose
ness to business habits is not incompatible
wiA personal or political integrity, yet I am
unwilling Ae State should suffer by its indul
gence.

whieh is contained in the resolutions herewiA
enclosed, I cannot consent to the action of the

We copy Ae following from Ae Columbus En

up to Ae dangers which surround them ? Will
we slumber over our rights and liberties, until
we find ourselves, under Ae lead of Johnson,
Cobb, Stephens, and Toombs, supporting Irish
CaAolics for President and Vice President?—
But read Ae remarks of Ae Enqaircr, and Ae

ing:
“Since the celebrated “Appeal to Irishmen,'
by Dr. Cummin* of Atlanta, we have seen no
richer exhibition of*ympa(Ay for American prin
ciples and the American country, Aan one re
cently perpetrated somewhere in the State of

And for fear of arousing Ae spirit of St O’Don

projectors. I have never had Ae remotest idea
of befog au indepenpent candidate for any of

principles ever presonted to Ae American peo
ple. If Ae other counties in the District will
do as well as old Talbot (where I live) Trippe
will be certain to represent ns in Congress.

the so-called Democratic party of Georgia are
now iu full fellowship wiA Ae Pierce Democra

GrVS Heed to the Warning.—The New

They were disappointed. The iron has been
sold to Major Howard of Colombo* for the Gi

there were others who would bare given $40 a

Mr. Editor:—We notice to some of As pa
pers a letter from Mr. Dodd, which to a careless
reader would seeat to controvert Ae statement
made by us and published in your paper. We
say teem, because it Is so constructed as to pro
duce Ae impression ol a contradiction, when
really in words it does not deny what has been
said. It ie a carefully written equivocation
throughout—denying noAing and yet seem
ing to deny all. He says “when Gov. Johnson
was at Rome in 1863, he asked me to strike off
several extra SouAernere containing Mr. Jen
kins’ famous Whig letter to Ae Savannah Re
publican. I did as be requested, and in Aese
extras were inserted two or throe editorials
from Democratic papers concerning Ae Alge
rine law and Mr. Jenkins’ connection wiA it
Now Ais is simply an additional charge which
we bad not beard, and does not affect Ae other
except as a corroborative evidence to establish
it—it shows Aere was a printing arrangement
between Aem. The oAer charge was not con
cerning “several extra SonAerners”but 5,000
algerine documents or circulars which he said
Gov. Johnson employed him to print, Ac.
And this wss not “carelessly said" eiAer, “
he said it wiA a serious countenance, at more
than ono time and place, and that, without har
ing to be cross questioned. He said moreover,
Aat if As election were to be had over again
he wonld vote for Mr. Jenkin* that he regret
tod he did not do so before, that he considered
Mr. Jenkins Ae best man; and be spoke of
Ae littleness and meanness of Ais aot in John
son. There are many oAera who could testify
to the same.
Again be say* “I never had Ae remotest
idea of suing Gov. Johnson npon Ae account.”
We are not responsible for what idea he really
had, bat only for what he said he had, and that
was of suing Gov. Johnson. This is only a
question of veraeity between J. W. Dcdd, of
some mon As ago, and J. W. Dodd, of Ae pres
ent time.
Wby did not CoL Dodd toll us when he pro
sen ted Ae account to Ae “Democratic com
mittee of Floyd county,” and token that com
mittee paid it? We wonld be wilting to risk
Col. Dodd’s testimony, on Ae stand upon Ae
subject, wiA a bible in his hand and assevera
tion in his mouA.
Allow os to say to Ae editor of the Atlanta
Intelligencer, Aat Ae “ falsehood” whieh he
hod Ae “pleasure of exposing” A Connection
with Ais matter, was one only of bis own pro
geny, and “we fear Aat Aere is ilo hope of
exhausting .Ae supply” Which he has on band.

Judge Andrews — Federal Basis.—The
Southern Recorder says:—In answer to Ae
HbreprcscaUtiABs ef Ear Platform,
. The Third Article of our Platform ‘declared
Ae Union of Ae States to be the paramount
political good—or in the language of Washing
ton, “Ae primary object of patriotic desire.”-—
Our opponents sieze npon Ais, and pretend to
Aink that wa propose to maintain the Union,
even if we should thereby forfeit our libbstfss.
We adopt the language of the Father of his
Country, and mean by It just wfasthe meant
We do not express a paramount regard for a
mere naked Union of the States, stripped of iu
connexion wiA Ae Constitution—powerleed
fer good, tad potent for evil; but for Ae Union
ss it now is, under the Constitution, With all its
guarantees of State Rights, of Liberty, and
of Law. It suits Ae purposes of our opponents
to overlook in onr platform the connexion of
the Union with State Rights and Ae Constitu
tion. Taken in this connection, we hold, like
Washington, that Ae Union is Ae paramount
object of patriotio desire.
Out platform enjoins obedience to Ae laws of
Ae country. This too, our opponents grossly
misrepresent* They pretend to understand that
it means Aat we will obey a law, however un
constitutional and oppressive— Aat if Congress
were to pass a law to set our negroes free, and
make us slave* we would submit. St Paul en
joins Ae same obedience to law Aat our platform
does. As well might Ae infidel aocuae him of
eqjoining obedience even if Ae father eoihmsa-
ded Ae son to commit murder. These injunc
tions of Ae Apostles were intended for rules of
conduct under ordinary circumstances, and not
for extreme eases. So onr platform was inten
ded as rulers to govern a political party under
ordlnaiy cireumstanees, and aot to point out
what ought to be done A extreme cases, which
might justify resistance. The Georgia Platform
of 1850, provides for suoh extreme case* and
the State Cornell of Ae Americau Party adop
ted that Platform. We have, Aerefore, two
platforms—one for onr govsrnmentundet ordin-
ary circumstances, which requires us to he a
law-abiding people; the oAer provides forex*
treme cases, which mightjustify resistance sad
revolution. What wonld a contrary doctrlna-
lead to ? Certainly to lawlessness and anarchy.
Our platform proposes to leave doubtful and
disputed points of law to Ae judicial tribunals
of the country. Onr opponents pretend that
toe American Party proposes to leave political
questions to the courts; whereas, it is plain Aat
we propose to leave noAing to Ae courts but
such questions as Ae judiciary have actually
decided, and do now decide, from Ae Supreme
Court of Ae United States down to Ae Justi
ces* Courts.
Tho keen eyes of onr opponents can find no
thing to object to in Aat part of Ae platform
concerning Slavery. For Ae first time Ae
American party, in forming a National Plat
form, has obtained a complete triumph for As
SouAern States on this subject
Hon. Solon Borland, on Arkansas.—This
distinguished Democratic Ex-Senator and Ex-
Minister has renounced Ae “Dry-Rot” party
and joined Ae American Standard. He thus
gives fals reasons for abandoning Ae modem,

tain these principle*, facta havs forced upon us
Ae conviction that the Old party organisation
called Democratic, which Was originally form
ed for Aeir support, and for Which, alone, we
belonged to it, has so far changed its character
as to be utterly incapable of answering that pur
pose—to maintain Ae constitutional rights of
