Political Suicides by tho Wholesale.
The Republican of Friday, lias an article on
the “political suicide of the Hon. Edward Bates,”
in which it comes to the conviction that Bates is
a freo-soilcr.' Our neighbor is “slow of heart
to believe.” Most pcoplo gained that impres
sion from Bates' sign manual, three months ago.
But if adhesion to free-soilism makes a suicide,
nearly every Northern Whig was felo de tt so
far back as the year of grace, 1853. In that
year, Massachusetts led off in Whig State Con
vention, In the words of Josiah Quincy, “to put
the Whig party in the van-guard of the anny
of human freedom,” or at the head of th6 aboli
tionists—and to the beat of our knowledge and
belief, they tried hard to do it They expected
to take the wind out of the sails bf Banks, Wil

sadly. Hie Natick Cobbler degraded them to

With some few exceptions, there is not a dis

NOTES or TRAVEL.
Special Correspondence of the Macon Daily Telegraph.
Albany, March 28th, 1860.
J\ly Dear Telegraph,—Having been on the
scout for a week, I took up at this place yester
day, and in the'nexthour propose to jot down
the incidents of my travel. Starting from Ma
con on a dear, cold and beautiful day, I reach
cd Fort Valley, and on getting out’of the cars,
found myself surrounded by a crowd of runners,
importuning me to go to their Hotel. -Fort
Valley, you must know, has now two Hotels,
and he is a happy traveller who can escape the
boisterous appeals which are [made to patronize
the one ortho other of the rival establishments.
Competition is the life of trade, and it is to bo
hoped that this war of jcaravanseras will en
sure tho wayfarer a good table and a'dean bed.
Fort Valley is a thriving placoof trade, and
when the contemplated Railroad (o Brunswick
is completed, will become a commercial point of
no inconsiderable importance,
ward you pass Marshalvillc, the depot for
cotton and trade of parts of Houston and Jfo
con counties, and farther on, the Halls of the
Montezumas loom grandly up. Montezuma is
tho depot for parts of Houston and Dooly, and
enjoys a valuable and increasing trade. Two
miles beyond, we reach Oglethorpe, once a dty
with three or four thousand people, but now a
small’ village, containing not more than four
hundred Inhabitants. I was glad to hear, how
ever, that its business was improving. Twenty
miles below, is tho city, of Amcricus, with two
weekly newspapers, a Female College, three or
four Churches, fifteen or twenty stores, a host
of Lawyers and Doctors, and- all tho appurte
nances of an enterprising, growing town. At
Sraithvillc the traveller may dine, and the late
hour of arrival—half after three o'clock—gen
erally makes the dinner table a locality of spe
cial interest nerc,.the branch to Albany

siona prior to the trial of Geo. P. Harlow, who was
yesterday sentenced for nino years to the Peniten
tiary, for the robbery of Mr. Edward Jones, the milk
man, be, Mr. \V , bad been called on by various par
ties, who endeavored to convince him that the pro
secution by Jones,.was a falio pretense; and that
sines tbo convinction Of Harlow, other - “ * '
called on him and entreated their decii
to tho same effect. The evidence in th
however, ao{concloaive, that his own opinion of the
honesty of the prosecutor, as well as the guilt of the
a ' oner, had not been changed. He now, however,
it is bia power to set the matter at rest, and re
lieve the character of Mr. Jones from the unworthy
aspersion, to which it had been subjected. The pri
soner, llarlow, had this morning sent for him, and
made a full and minute confession of the robbery,
and all the particulars connected with it—by which
„ . . it appeared, that Harlow, and two others, by some
Going South- means, learned that Mr. Jones had a large sum of
money in the house—and the three can e on from
New York for the express purposeof committingthe
Jobbery. That a tier its accomplishment, they had
returned to New York, where his two p:irners bad
cheated him ont of his share of the stolen money.—
He then wrote the letter to Mr. Jones, in the hop<
that Mr. Jones would come to New York, where in
expected to obtain a reward from him for informs
tion of the robbers. This statement basset at rest
the rumor, that Mr. Jones had made a false State
ment, and that Harlow had been falsely convicted.
A case was tried in Court to-day, which brought
about a rather singular proceeding. A man named
Fenton, (one of the Porters of a'Hotel) was charged
with assaulting a Gentleman who was a snjourner at
the house. At the time of the occurrence, a great
outcry was made in behalf of the gtntlrman, who
bad been whipped by the porter. . Upon an examina
tion of the case however, it was found like most oth-.
er things—to have two sides. The porter’t side show
ed, that he bad, by request of the Clerk, handed the
gentleman his bill, which was disputed, sod to show
his contempt in a still stronger light, the gentleman
spat in the porter's taco, for whrch, as in doty bound,
tho l.tt.r give him a reasonable thrashing. His
Honor considered the provocation but twenty-foe
rents short of the offence, and according j fined the
porter in that sum, which be planked np, and left
perfectly satisfied. The sequel to the cate was how
ever, like to be more serious. It appears that w hilst
the trial was pending, the Coart had received an an-
nonymons letter on the subject, cosebed in terms
not overly flattering. The letter was brought home
to the gentleman in the case, and his Honor caused
him to b« arrested for a contempt; he was brought
op and required to show cause why he sh juld not be
dealt with, as in such oasea made and provided. The
gentleman then acknowledged himself to be a mem-
bet of the English Bar, where he had successfully
practiced for thirty-four yean, and had not, by any
thing he bad said or written, intended the least dis
respect or contempt for this Honorable Court. Hav
ing made the amend so handsomely, be was let up,
and left the Court house quite huffy.
The State Convention lias adjourned after a short
and very harmonious session. T he delegates elect
ed, were left free from bias in favor of any individual
candidate, and will exercise their best indgmeht '
the selection of the one most likely to embody l
established principles of tbo National Democratic

There was little or no conflict of opinion expi

the importance and necessity of a connection with
Macon. It appeared that there waa a subscription,
conditional and unconditional amounting in all to
$1,840,000; bnt the charter requires an aboolnte
subscription of a million of dollars, beforo the cor
poration can be organised. The resolutions of Mr.

night. The meeting was small—butjtwo or three
hundred attending. The leader of the strike, Mr.
Alonzo Draper, of Lynn, was present by invitation,
and made an expose of the cause of the strike, and
present prospects of the strikers, which amounted
to nothing more than that boots and brogans were
in such demand, and manufacturers were so cramp

the present position held by that corporation. He
said that the Georgia Railroad did not wish to be
embarrassed by the question of subscription to this
road, but that im hoped tbo necessary amount of
stock could be raised, independent of the Georgia
Railroad, but that in tbe oveut of failure to obtain

Tlic Slave Trade.
There hoa been another cargo of slaves from some
quarter landed on or near the coast of Georgia. The
Macon Telegraph meutions tho-passage through
that place of sixty or seventy negroes, bought in
tho sontb-western part of the Slate, who were on
their way to New Orleans for sale. They were sup
posed to be genuiuenatives of Lower Guinea, land
ed by slave ships on tho coast, but a majority pf them
spoke a mongrel French—a fact that placed their
origin in considerable doubt. The Macon paper
speaks of the arrival of slave ships on tho poast.
Tho above is copjod from the “Christian Watch
man and Reflector,’ ’ ot the 22nd insL, a religions pa
per published in Boston. It is needless to tell our
readers that its story is a more invention. Tho
Telegraph did not speak of the negroes alluded to
as genome natives .of Lower Gninea, or suppose or
believe them to bo such, nor mentioned in any way
tho arrival of “slave ships on the coast." No.such
ships havo arrived to the best of our knowledge and
belief. .
