FOR THE ST KXI) VIU) OF UNIOX. 'MR. CUTHBERT’S DEFENCE. „ Ma Mr. Cuthbert’s delicate feel- ing* are terribly wounded by the exposure of the real cause of his dislike to Doctor Fort. He de nies the imputation of personal feeling, makes a long dstence, and still claims for the quarrel the character of a political controversy." Fi delity to the party to which I am attached, for bids me from touching this defence. \s to its details, 1 am perfectly satisfied for him to have the conclusion. I have no heart to grudge him the support and confidence he nv.if rt<'ain bv his whining appeal io his “old comrades.” M ho, let me ask, are the old friends and com rades of John A. Cuthbert, but ti e old friends and comrades of the man whom he traduces ? Let Mr. Cuthbert talk of his “ public vir tues,” and! continue his abuse of Doctor Fort— ••time will show” what sort of stuff his virtue is made of. I hope the friends of Dr. Fort will imitate his example of patient forbearance, and not sutler themselves to be allured or provoked into ant further disputation over this matter. The elec tions approach; and. if Mr. Cuthbert, instead of endeavoring to rally the whole strength of the party to that contest, shall continue to lend his columns to circulate the vile trash of “Oco nee,” then let him prepare to meet and abide lite consequences. HENRY. For mt Standard of Union. CoZ. Haynes; Permit me to recommend to the consideration ■ofthe Union party, the name ofG'cn. William P Ford of Early, as a gentleman highly qualifi ed to fill the vacancy which has occurred in our Electoral Ticket for President and Vice Presi dent, by the declension of Gen. Watson. Gen. Ford is well known to our whole people. If ta lents of a high order—the strictest integrity of moral and political character—and a disinteres ted and ardent support of the great principles of the I nion party throughout, are claims upon the party, Gen. Ford will not be forgotten. He re sides in a section of the State which has hereto fore been entirely overlooked by the partv. That section has stood firm in all our political; strifes—it his given the casting vote in all ottr! important elections, and Iras not complained—it ; should now have a representative upon our tic- ' ket. TALBOT. Permit me to suggest through the medium of! your columns, the name of John Rawls of Pulas- ; ki County, as Elector of President and Vice I President in place of Gen. James C. Watson 1 declined. A VOTER. I FOR THE STANDARD OF UNION. It is said by a writer in the last Federal Uni- ! on, over the signature ot “Rufus,” in speakitm I of the distinguished part which Col. Cuthbertl lias acted as a member of the Union Party, “ Yet he with becoming modesty, reacted nothing of I the party." It is doubtless true, that Col. Cuthbert lias "exacted" nothing from the party as a reward for his services, and 1 trust no other member of I the party has; but that Col. Cuthbert has asked ! something and received something from thupai ty, is too well known to admit ot a doubt, and 1 have no doubt but that he has received more from the patronage of the party, than any other individual member, in the solid substantial stuff; and although he has received much, he has still asked for more. Independent of what he has received, he has been an applicant for several appointments and among the number, I have long understood that he signified to Governor Lumpkin, his willing ness to be made President of the Central Bank, at the time Doctor Fort was appointed, notwith standing he considers it a "leprous spot" upon our institutions. Has Doctor Fort "eiacted" any thing from the party? lie has received the single appoint ment of President of the Central Bank, and ask ed for nothing more that I know of, but if he has, he may safely compare notes with Col. Cuth bert, as to what both have asked or received. The original ground of complaint, set up by Col. Cuthbert, against Doctor Fort, was, the ap pointment of Mr. Porter. This act seems to i be, in the mind of Col. Cuthbert, an unpardon able offence, for which there is neither atone ment nor forgiveness, demanding the political annihilation of Doctor Fort. I would not have voted for Mr. Porter myself, but if it is so ut terly repugnant to the interests of the party, to place a nullifier in the Bank, why did not Col. Cuthbert complain of Governor Lumpkin for placing a nullifier in the Direction, a post of much more power and influence, than that of Cashier? I was not pleased with that act of Governor Lumpkin’s—many other union men were dissatisfied with it, and no reasonable man can view it in a better light than the appoint ment of Mr. Porter, upon a proper view of par ty policy: and yet, it was passed over in silence b,y Col. Cuthbert for four years. This I call *‘unaking fish of one and flesh of another.” But why keep up the fire upon Doctor Fort, when Mr. Porter is out of office, and a union man is in his place ? or rather why did not Col. Cuthbert express his disapprobation of the ap pointment while Mr. Porter was in office? It is indeed sfraoge, but it is as true, that never un til Mr. Porter had resigned, and a union man was elected, did Col. Cuthbert make known his disapprobation. How long it is to be kept up, I cannot tell, but 1 do know, that the great body of the Union party are rick and tired of it.— They desire to see the breach healed up, and peace and harmony restored. I ask Col. Cuthbert what good can come of it? Will it benefit the Union party or himself; or will it not produce desseutions and heart burnings fatal to its prosperity? These are mat ters for bis own serious reflection, and I hope he will lay them to heart. Col. Cuthbert has done jqi’ich for the party. lie has laboured with zeal and ability ; but has ho laboured longer, or with more devotedness, more perseverance, or more 4 dent than Doctor Fort? And why is it that all cannot draw together as in “ times gon*, by,” The world is wide enough for both, and the par ty is willing and anxious to sustain both, and will ultimately decide justly between them. They are distinguished men of the party, but they are not the party, and should tlierefore wil lingly submit all matters of political controversy to the decision of the party; and this I know, Doctor Fort is willing to do; and Col. Cuthbert havingexhibited his charges against Doctor Fort, to the party, should be content to rest the issue in their hands, as the only competent tribunal to make up a final award, I have witnessed with regret, a disposition on the part of Col. Cuthbert, to pursue Doct. Fort, and to charge him with matters foreign to the issue at first offered by himself. It is now al leged that he in ide some recommendation to the Legislature i i regard to a more summary pro cess for the collection of d -bls due the Central Bank, than the ordinary operations of the Court?. I have notread Doctor Fort’s report upon that subject, but will do .so, and endeavor toexamine it next week, unless in the mean time, Col. Cuihb<j-t shall concur with thousands of his friends, ip tjic that no good can ccm ■ of -a longer continuance of the subject in the union - I papers, which lam ■>tly pray,' may be his d< - - cisioti. In concluding these remarks, I assure till who ■ may read them, that I am the fiiend ot' Doctor Fort and Col. Cuthbert, and that nothing has in duced me to take up my pen, but a sincere de sire to do them both justice, and if possible, to aid in reconciling them to one another, and of restoring the Union Party to that state of har- ■ mony, which can alone, ensure the ascendancy ’ of its principles.

Echols, aged sev enteen years and sixteen days. He volunteered in his country’s service and joined the army in his seventeenth year—served out his time and was honorably discharged. His manners and deportment were of the mildest and most amia ble description, and without effort on his part, secured to him the esteem and warm attach ment of all his acquaintances. He returned to his parents and friends from the toils of the camp in perfect health and died without an enemy. But a more invaluable trait in his character re mains to be mentioned. He was a Christian. He had been a pious and orderly memberof the Baptist Church just two years. While on his death bed he frequently expressed his firm con fidence of faith in his Saviour. A few hours pre vious to his death, he requested that all should leave the room except his father, when he said, he feared he should not be able to live, but, if he died, he had no doubt of his soul’s going to Jesus; that his mind was not in the least distur bed about his future state ; that Jesus was his friend, and that he could safely trust Him. That if it was the will of the Lord to take him out of this world, his soul would be happv here after. Just before the close of his life he repeated and attempted to sing the following lines “ How happy every child of grace, AV ho knows his sins forgiven 1 Tiiis world, he cries, is not my place, I seek my place in Heaven?’ A short time befme his death, he noticed his el dest sister weeping at his bed side, to whom he was tenderly attached, and with his usual-com posnre he said toiler, “ don’t be alarmed, 1 have a Jesus in whom I can trust. He is able to save all that come to Him.” He continued repeat edly to express his strong confidence in his Sa viour, to the last moments of his life, and never exhibited the least alarm at death. His senses - left him only with his last breath; at the mo ment of his death, he held out his hand to his physician, and said, “farewell doctor, I am gone,” and called for his parents, brothers and sisters, to come and bid him farewell. He shook hands deliberately with each of them, then fold ed his arms and expired without a groan or struggle. His departure from this life, the Church, the community, and especially the fam ily of which be was a member, have sustained a loss long to be regretted and lamented. But in contemplating the bright evidences of Chris tian faith which his death bed scenes especially disclosed, we almost involuntarily say, in the language of the poet, Why should we mourn departed friends, Or shake at death’s alarms ; ’Tis but the voice that Jesus sends, To take them to his arms. 1 he Christian Index will please copy this. At his residence in Walton County, on the 30th ultimo, Col. GEORGE PARK, aged 30 years, a respectable and ordeily member of the Bible Christian Church. Col. Park for the last four years filled with zeal and ability, the most respectable and responsible offices that could le bestowed by the citizens of his county, and died the ii cumbent of the sheriff’s and Coronel’’ offices. In the death of Col Park, the commu nity has lost one of its most respectable and val uable citizens, and his wife and five children, sustained a loss irreparable. Bpi ( H.
