*7fce most uuraitigated dcprecators apninut
tlie idea of resuscitating old party lines,
and as a consequence, animosities^in our
State, aie the leaders of that insignificant
faction, within lier limits, who orginated
the movement for a convention to assem
ble at Milledgfeyille. on tlie fourth proximo,
to nominate a canidate for Governor, to
be voted for at the October election. J
use the term leaders in contra-distinction to
tlie people, the massas, tlie hone and sinew,
the soul and spirit of sovereignty in the
State, for tlie, reason that the latter have
had nothing to do with tins ill timed and
unnecessary movement, do not sympathize
witli its instigators, and will, at the prop
er time, repudiate tlie action of the pro
posed partial conclave by an overwhel
ming negative on its proceedings.
Let us examine the present status of
this question: Who are the opponents of
Gov. Brown’s re-election? Who, in Geor
gia, what class ot respectable citizens,
have expressed themselves disappointed
in the administration of the affairs ot the
State as superintended, directed, and car
ried out by the able incurnbe. t who now
dignities and is shedding lustre oil the Ex
ecutive office? Are the people, apart from
the leaders in this unholy combination
against a faithful public servant, dissatis
fied with “the boy from Cherokee" Do
tax-payers of the country desire a change
in their Governor—a new and untried
pilot in the dark and dread hurricane of

results, and whilst these are favorable, we
shall continue, to support him, the action

to the contrary notwithstanding,” says
the seventh farmer, and so on ad infinitum.
Now, the people being thus agreed, and
old party demarkations, and the bad feel
ings engendered thereby, being happily
extinguished and blotted out, why disturb
the quiet and nnamity of tlie one, or seek
to revive tlie rehabilitate, in all its wanton
and experienced helmsman has made suc

is the evidence of their disaffection to
Gov. Brown? I read, I suppose, about as
closely, as any man in Fulton county, and
board preserved. Let us hold on to our
pilot. The political barometer indicates
oilier and perhaps severer trials just ahead
of us. The common prudence of the peo
ple, who are the passengers, will suggest
to them that their cargo, their interests
and liberties, cannot be so secure or better
cared for and protected, than under the ex
perienced navigator and commander, who
has encountered many a rude shock ot
wind and wave, vliose vessel never
founders at sea, and who always makes
port in safety at the. appointed time.

Mexican war. Shortly afterwards be was

Illinois, and served out a full term in that

Illinois for Minnesota, where he immedi

successful one—the dominant paity there

he was restored to an official association
with the greatest civilians of the United

term for Minnesota, and defeated for a re-

California, from which State he now

General Shields commanded a portion

They were generally well educated and
refined gentlemen, whose independence 1 of
character wouid forbid their acceptance of
aid, but it was pressed upon them, and
put into their pockets w ithout their knowl
edge. During the day they were visited
by many ladies of the city, each of whom
took with her some little present for the
comfort or convenience of the soldiers—
Most of them visited various sections ot the
city, accompanied by citizens.
At four o’clock in the afternoon tlie ve
hicles were drawn up in front of the Gil
mer House to convey them to the boat for
Old Point, and a large crowd of persons
were present to witness their departure.
YY’lien they emerged from the house the
people on the street cheered and from al
most every house in the neighborhood the
handkerchiefs of ladies waved from every*
window. As they passed down Baltimore
sheet, a large throng at the corner of South
street gave them three cheers. From ev
ery direction the people flocked to the
wharf of the boat ; until several thousand
were assembled, covering the wharf, the
sheds, and all the vessels lying near.—
1 he soldiers took their positions on the af

past four o’clock the lines of the Louisiana
were cast off r and as she left the wharf
three cheers were given tor the departing
soldiers.

“There are no l*nr(ien now.’>
So says every body-. Well, if it is true,
let us keep so if wc can. How is it to be
done ? Why by permitting every body to
exercise his own free will and judgment
in reference to those things in which lie
has an interest in common with every body
else.
There has npt been for the last thirty-
five years, nay there never has been a time,
when this generation has had so good an
opportunity, or any opportunity at all, of
seeing the means by which parties are
formed and the people made slaves to them.
It is said now that we have no parties and
every body says, “let us have none for the
future.” How is it to be prevented?—
Why, says some cunning fellow who wants
power, “let ns have meetings and deter
mine who shall be Governor and members
of Congress and members of the Legisla
ture.” V\ ell, a few met the other day at
tlie Court House in this county and ap
pointed delegates to meet in Milledgeville
with those who may wish to join them to
determine who shall be the Governor of
Georgia. There is the beginning of the
formation of a party at once. If the peo
ple of Muscogee submit to it they are con
trolled by that little squad of men and are
at the head of the party*. But suppose an
other dozen do not like the action of that
few and call another meeting to send del
egates to another convention at Milledge
ville. There is another party formed and
those who take part in it are the leaders.
By degrees the great masses of the people
are brought to take sides with one or the
other, without having any regard either
for the principles of either. But it is very-
clear that if these men are authorized to
act for the people of Muscogee the people
are bound by their acts and ought to obey
tlicrir behests—and if they don’t do it no
doubt they will feel like complaining—
and the man who does not willingly submit
to the dictation of this little squad is set
down as an enemy to be punished, those
who do are, of course, friends to he re
warded—thus some are threatened and
some flattered, some rewarded and some
punished until tlie behests of party be
come as powerful as those of law and even
more so.
Aye, but says one of these fellows you
had a chance to go to our meeting and
vote, we gave you notice to go ; yes but I
had something else to do ; and besides I
did not choose to go, besides we have all
agreed upon a time to elect a Governor
and that time is in October and I choose
to vote then ; and then too every man can
vote as lie chooses.
But these gentlemen who want a con
vention arc very much afraid of a “Scrub
race.” “Scrub Race ! !” YVhat is a
“scrub race ?” Why just simply a race
which they cannot control. A race in
which the people are free to exercise their
own judgment and their right of suffrage
in the election of the men who are to at
tend to their business. A race in which
the people are not driven by the action of
others to choose between two evils. A
race in which every man can come up like
a freeman and vote as lie chooses without
having some pert jackanapes to watch and
dog him and tell him that he is a traitor to
“tlie party.”
les, let us by- all means have a scrub
race, one in which the people can discuss
and determine upon the merits of the can
didates without reference to the dictation
of their masters. If a man wants to "be
Governor let him announce himself a can
didate, if Iris fiiends think him the best
man for the office, let them announce and
support him.
The people will soon learn to know who
are the best men of the country- and to
support them. The press will not have to
lie so intolerably about its candidates and
its party—the system of bribery aud cor
ruption which have been so rife in tlie land
for years—will be looted out.
Let the people then put a stop at once
to this attempt to establish over them a
moral and mental despotism and to array
them the one against the other for tlie prof
it to ambitious Demagogues. Let them look
upon all these attempts to put the yoke of
party upon their necks with suspicion ami
repel them with indignation. Let every
man retain his liberty to vote as he may
think proper ; and they- will soon get rid of
a host of these wire workers and wire pul
lers who are seeking to bring them into
subjection. YVhat man in the country
who has not felt the galling yoke of party?
What man who has not felt himself drag
ged along by- tlie power of party to do
things of which he was ashamed ? Don’t
permit y ourself again brought into such
bondage.

Wherever it has been used it has been recommended
with the highest encomiums of praise. Persons can
have no conception of its efficiency, without Riving it

KadivaFs Kegii.atiso Pills are never more ur-
Sfeutly needed than in the fall. The rich fruits and in-
= -s’tible vegetables of autumn, disorder and weiken
the bowels, and the cold nights produce sudden chills
by which the circulation is thrown out of hulaucc, and
the stomach, liver, anil lungs partially paralyzed. To
restore these functions,and tit the body to withstand
the inclemency erwinter, a course of this great aperi-
nt, alterative and tonic, is absoluUdymecessary. It is
the only cathartic in tho world which equalizes the cir
culation of the blood. All the mineral purgative have
a deadly contrary effect, aud hence the fearful mercu
rial diseases.
