This ingenious and candid commentator states our position thus: “The ‘Telegraph’ believes with Mr. Douglas, that an Organized Territory is a political com munity, and as & political community have a right to determine the question of slavery for themselves in the territory.”. And the article in the. Telegraph which he thus distorts and misrepresents, declared its own position in the following words : “The principle is, as Mr. Douglas states, that “every distinct political community loyal to the Constitution and the Union, is entitled to Ml the rights, privileges and immunities of self-government in respect to their local con cerns and internal policy, subject only to the Constitution of the United States.” And hence when “a distinct political community” of this sort i* in the act of organizing—-that is, when the people of a territory are forming themselves in pursuance of laic, into an independent State, writes to know what Bibb will do ? tutc such action in respect to their load con corns and internal policy as may conflict with Our democratic friends will observe, that to I g cncra j property right: under the Constitu ol<*t Speer, he must receive over fifty mojori- tion.” ty in Bibb.

Gov. Brown lias addressed to the Atlanta In telligencer a copy of the “Bank Letter” origi nally addressed to Cob Solomen Cohen of Sa vannah. a Director in behalf of the State in the State Bank of Georgia, in reply to an appli cation from that gentleman for the Governor's opinion on two points growing oat of the Bank Acts of 1857 and 1858. We will give this cor respondence, if possible, in this issue—if not in our next. We need not add that the Letter contains nothing, by implication or otherwise, to sanction in the slightest degree the absurd and calumnious allegations which have been professedly founded upon it It is, on the con trary, highly honorable to the Governor—vin dicating him fully from the imputations at that time made of a vindictive temper towards the banks, and shows, that while insisting upon their compliance with the law, he was disposed to deal as leniently with them as possible, and to exact no more than its demands. Now let those papers who havo concocted this story to the extent of even (as in the case of the Atlanta American,) affecting to give die exact language of the Governor—quoting his words—clear their skirts, if they can, of the charge of premedita ted and deliberate slander. Where did they get those words ? who concocted the story ?— Let them come out and answer in justice to themselves, or they will stand convicted of a circumstancial and minute elaboration of an utterly unfounded and false cliarge. you.

In accordance with a previous call, a very large and enthusiastic portion of the Democratic party of Jones county, met at the Court House in Clinton, to-day, (Scpt'r 3d) for the purpose of nominating candidates to represent the coun ty in the next Legislature. The meeting was organized by calling Gen. D. N. Smith to the Chair, and appointing Frank lin J. Walker Secretary. The Chair, in a few pertinent remarks, explained the object for j which the meeting hail assembled, and declared Bank Slander on (lie Governor. In the course of the kennel and gutter war fare against Gov. Brown, a story has appeared, first we believe, in the Rome Courier, in the following form: Wiiat a Governor.—Every man remembers what a tremendous war Gov. Brown made upon the banks two years since. They will remem ber, too, that he forced through the Legislature a very stringent law, requiring the Bank Offi cers to make oath to unheard of restrictions in their business. If our information did not come from the most reliable source we would not think of bringing the charge we are about to make, viz. that Gov. Brown finding that the Banks were about to kick up such a fuss as would ruin him, actually wrote to some of them and informed them of a plan by which they could trade his law. And then the plan of evasion was the sil liest thing ever thought of by mortal man. It was this, that the officers should make out their returns one day, and then do no Banking busi ness until the next day after they had sworn to their statement Now they were to swear they had not violated the Law since their last state ment, and he tells them to regard the statement made the day before as their last statement, and thus evade the letter of the law. This charge comes from a reliable source, and if it is denied, we shall expect to give the proof next week.—Rome Courier.

Dispatch of Saturday announces that the Con stitutionalist's report was Monsoe Co., Ga., Sept. 3, 1858, Mr. Editor.—I desire to call your attention to that part of Senator Iverson’s speech in which he says we lost Kansas by means of Squatter Sovereignty, (synonymous with Ali en Suffrage in thc minds of all Know Noth, ings.) What does the Hon. Senator mean by losing Kansas by Squatter Sovereignty? Does he wish to humbug the democracy or is he ignorant of the fact, that neither Kansas nor any other territory has ever attempted to abolish or prohibit slavery by statute prior to the formation of State Constitutions ? Docs be wish to lend tbc weight of his great influence towards promoting tbc fool-hardy misunder standing on the Squatter Sovereign and Alien question ? What is your opinion on the re sponsibilities of minorities J Were not the Southern Opposition in thc last Congress elected lo promote the rights of the South ? If they were not a responsible set, they might lie on their oars and see the Repub lic converted into a Monarchy, it seems to me. The democracy will not be in the majority in the next Congress. Hence, if the Republicans at tempt to force anyobjectionable mcasureon the South, the Democrats will be justifiable in shirking thc question. As well might Gari baldi or Sardinia have joined the Austrians be cause Napoleon deserted the liberal cause in Italy, it seems to me. Was Kansas refused admission into the U- niou because of the existence of slavery ?— Then where are those men who pledged them selves to resist to “the disruption of all tics that bind us to the Union.” If slavery was the only issue of the last Congressional elec tion, ought notali other considerations to have been yielded up when a slave State came up for admission ? Did not thirty-one of the memorable 44 come to the rescue when Kansas applied for Democratic Reeling in Tlionins. September 5th, 1859. Persuant to previous notice a large and cn thusiastic meeting of the Democracy of Thom as county took place at the court house in Thomasville. On motion - of Wade F. Sanford, Esq,. Hon John C. Browning was called to the chair—and A. V. McCardel and M. J. Albritton appoint ed Secretaries. Col. A. P. Wright being called upon by the Chairman, arose and explained the object of the meeting. Col. A. B. Lawton moved the appointment of a committee, consisting of three from each Militia District, whose duty shall be to report business for the meeting, together with names of snitable persons as candidates for the Leg islature. Maj. E. B. Young moved to amend, by al lowing one man from a district to represent three votes on the committee, should any be without a full representation The Chairman appointed thc following as thc committee: Thomasville.—NoahParamorc, E. L. Hines, A. P. Wright. Aucilla.—Joshua B. Everitt, J. 15. Archer, A. B.Carswcll. Oclockonec.—J. L. McCardel, J. II. J. Brock, John W. Davis. Seventeenth.—John J. ltagans, J. G. Lind sey, Wm. II. Rawls. Fourteenth.—Wm. C. Mitchell, Sugar For est, Richard Thomas. Duncanville.—Henry Copeland, R. B. Mar- dre, William Heir. While thc committee were out lion. P. E, Love and Hon. J. L. Seward were each sepa rately called for and addressed the meeting. _ The committee returned and through their Chairman, Col. A. P. Wright, made thc fol lowing report: Wc the Democratic party of Thomas county, now assembled (by previous appointment) to suggest candidates for the Senate and House of Representatives of the State of Georgia, feel it not only onr privilege hut our duty to express our opinions on the principles and workings of thc Government under which wc live. . 1st. Resolved, That wc cheerfully endorse the Cincinnati Platform and the resolutions of the Democratic State Convention held in Milledgcville in June last. 2nd. That we heartily rejoice at the renomi nation of Joseph E. Brown, and recognise Peter E. Love as a worthy standard bearer of the States Rights Democracy of the 1st dis trict—wc feel that Hon. James L. Seward, onr former Representative, lias deserved well of our State. 3d. That wc feel that Alfred Iverson has a ell merited and will receive thc devoted gra titude and esteem of every Southern Rights man, for his bold and able defence of the South and Southern Institutions against its hitter enemies. 4th. That we hope Thomas county and South ern Georgia will receive from this Legislature the justice and fairness in regard to railroad matters to which we are so much entitled. 5th. That we are wholly unable to compre hend the causeless opposition of some Southern men to thc State Democratic party—cannot compromise with such opposition—we call up on all men at the South who love the South to come up to the aid of that glorious party which has always stood by the South and by princi ples dear to all Southern men—above all we call upon Democrats to stand by their party and tlieir principles in all elections whether State or county. (ith. That we recommend unanimously the name of James L. Seward for State Senator. 7th. That the names of Jarman H. Whaley, A. B. Lawton, G. W. Brown, J. J. L. Miles, Dr. James P. Turner and Josiah J. Everitt be Canton, Sept. 17tb, 1850. Editors of the Atlanta Intelligencer: Some days since my attention was called plan by whicli they could evade thelawin ma king their returns, which plan was “that the officers should make out their returns one day, and then do no banking business the next day after they had sworn to their statement. Now they were to swear they had not violated the law since making their last statement, and lie (the Governor) tells them to regard the state ment made the day before, as their last state ment, and thus evade the letter of the law.” This charge I authorized you and others to pronounce an unmitigated falsehoodSince that time, I have seen a copy of the ‘National American,’of thc 3d inst., in which the editor quotes the above charge, from the ‘Cou rier,’ and says: “This charge has not been denied by Gov. Brown, or any of the papers in his interest—Reason—they dared not do it. The facts absolutely exist.” This statement is not more false and reckless than many oth ers which the public are accustomed to see in the ‘American,’ and a few Opposition papers belonging to the same class. With how much regard for thc truth the editor of the ‘Ameri can,’ stated that thc facts as charged by the ‘Courier’ “absolutely exist,” I leave the public to judge, when the facts as they do exist are made known. The editor, when he made the charge, stated that ho had in possession a copy of a letter written by me in reply to “one from a Bank Officer,” who asked my opinion on two points, growing out of thc Bank act of 1857 and 1858, that the letter was private, and con fidential, &c. The editor doubtless refers to a letter written by me, to Col. Solomon Cohen, of Savannah, who was elected by the Legisla ture to the position ofDircctor in the Bank of the State, to represent the State’s Stock in that Bank. Col. Cohen is a gentleman of high character, and has been for years, my person al friend. There were some doubts on his mind, as to the true construction of the nets of 1857 and 1858. Aud as the State’s Director in the Bank of thc State, he asked my opinurfi as to thc true construction of these acts on the two poiuts discussed in thc letter, which I wrote in reply. When I received Col. Cohen’s letter, courtesy, as well as friendship, existing between us, required that I should reply to it. I did not, however, consider that it was strict ly a part of my official duty, to put a construc tion upon these Statutes. It was only my du ty to sec that they were obeyed, and that the returns sent by the Bank officers to thc Exec utive Department, conformed to the law. The Executive lias not jurisdiction to determine whether the returns as made by the Bank offi cers are true. The Statute prescribes the pen alty in case they are false, and gives the Courts an article in the Rome Courier, which charged : wTot fo^iw a “ ch „;,t I iufomta li« Il* SSSSk:-., to allow tw'.S tlu umoiiut.

There being a local ques tion at issue, I consented for my name to be run in the nomination: on thc condition only, and with thc express understanding, that unless a compromise could be effected thereby, that I would not accept the nomination. The delegates, as I understand, adopted the two-thirds rulej and 1 learn that I was nomin ated on the first ballot. I was notified of my nomination and requested to accept I went forward and did accept the nomination only os a compromise man—at the same time I called upon thc delegates and requested that if any of them wcrc dissatisfied with my nomination, they would then and there make it known. 1 heard of no dissatisfaction from any quarter. On to-day, however, from having had an inter view with one of thc delegates, and hearing from a reliable source that some of tile dele gates have said, that on the day of the election they would remain at home; whilst another lias said that he was not hound by the nomina tion, I learn that there is dissatisfaction in the ranks on account of the nomination. And as accepted tiie nomination for thc purpose alone of effecting a compromise; and seeing tliat no compromise, or very little at least, can be effect ed by my remaining a candidate, I take this method of informing my friends, and the citi zens ol Dooly generally, that although I feel grateful to them for the confidence they hare proved they have in me, by giving me every office I ever asked at tlieir hands, with duo re spect to thc feelings of iny friends, under exist ing circumstances, I cannot permit my name any longer to remain before them as a candi date for the legislature.

Cohen, as my individual opinion. - — - I gave neither the right to publish, for the reasons already stated. I presume some one of these last named Bank officers, in his great anxiety to injure me, has furnished the Editor of the ‘American’ with a copy of the letter, in the hopes that he might be able to use it to my disadvantage. As the editor has taken the li berty to comment, and grossly misrepresen- its contents, and to affirm with a copy of the letter before him that the facts absolutely ext ist as charged by the ‘Courier,’ without having the magnanimity to publish the letter and let it speak for itself, I herewith inclose you a copy of it, and request you to lay it before your readers, who will judge with how much truth the statement is made. The opinions expressed in the letter are the opinions which I still entertain as to the true construction of those Statutes, and I doubt not I am sustained in these opinions by a large majority of the legal profession, and of the intelligent citizens of Georgia. - - My offence consists therefore in this, that I gave to Col. Cohen a correct opinion, as to the meaning of thc law, with the form of an affida vit, which I would receive, which is in the very language of thc Statute, accompanied by a possitive assertion that I would “use all the power vested in me by the Constitution, and laws of the State, to enforce obedience,” if the JiX] fcr 0 December, 1857.

A Colored e.v-Jidce.—The editor of the Fredericksburg News, who is summering nt the White Sulphur Springs, writes of a negro whom he has found there, who is an ex-judge of the Superior Court of Liberia. At present he is superintendent of thc bath-house. The negro was born free, had $1600, and concluded to go to Liberia; went, and was appointed Judge by President Roberts. He remained in Liberia about six months. The News, giving the sub stance of thc ex-judge’s testimony, says: “If a negro was to land there [in Liberia] with $50 in his pocket, it would be all gone by the time he was well of thc fever, and then he could get 38 or 40 cents a day if he was able and willing to work, but would be better off with a good master at home.

On the last night of that session which closed thc Senatorial career of those gentlemen re spectively, Mr. F’oote obtained thc floor, and occupied the final hour with a bitter and elo quent review of thc life and acts of his old en emy. Mr. Benton sat unmoved; his massive features betrayed no sign of anger or anxiety; you would have thought him asleep, but for the regular motion of his eyelids. As thc hands on the clock pointed to midnight, he quietly remarked to a by-stander: “I leave the Senate of the United States, footed out of it; tooted out of it, sir; but not kicked out!” Mr. F’oote had said tliat he would write a lit tle book in which Mr. Benton should figure ve ry largely. Mr. B. heard of this, and replied, in his characteristic wav, to the informant: “Tell F’oote that I will write a very targe hook in which he shall not figure at all.” The “Thirty Years” will show how faithfully this promise was kept.
