GOV JOHNSON S MESSAGE
The " hide of our first page i* devoted t<» the
Farewell Mt **age of Gov. Johnson, a man who
ha* been H**ailc<l with extraordinary malevo
lence at certain times during hi* period of Ex
rrutixe service, but to whom, now that it will
-et ve no political end to abuse him. few will
refuse to award the merit of :• highly success
ful administration of affair*, nor Envy itself
| deny the possession of perfect integrity ami
exalted abilities.
None of the slander- which were perpetra
ted against him in times of hot party conflict,
have survived the occasion, tiiu* proving that
monstrosities arc alike -bort lived in moral* a
< in phy-ics ; nor do we covet the feeling* ot
those who. having devised these calumnies,
have seen their intended victim steadily ad
vance in the affections of the people, while
their corrupt invention*, having Ihed their
little day, liave long since b.-en consigned to
the sewer of public contempt, there to rot out
of sight and out ot’ mind.
Experience has demonstrated that it i-equal
ly impossible to puff a merely ( lever man into
the dinien-ions of real greatness, be the bci
lows-worker* ever so many ami assiduous. »r
to put down a truly honest and able man by
the systematic depreciation of penny-a-liners.
In the one ease, we only expose the weakness
of our favorite by vainly vaunting his strength,
while in the other, the habit of charging- on an
opponent fault* which form no part of liis cha
racter, only fixes the attention oftheptopk
on those virtue* which he really possesses.
Both experiment* have been tried in Geor
gia- the one in the case of Mr. Ihi.i, ami the
other in the ca*e of Gov. Johnson. We all
know how signal ha* been the failure in both
instance*. The attempt to endow Mr. Hu i.
with the reputation of a statesman has only
■ satisfied the people that he is nothing more
than an adroit special-pleader, with the inevi
tabk* consequence that those who expvctv<l too
much now give him credit for too little, while
the i-mlcavor to impeach the official integrity
of Gov. Johnson, and the decrial of his intel
lectual powers, have served no other purpose
than to present in bolder relief the spotlc*s ho
i nesty, the unceasing vigilance, and the com
prehensive wisdom, which have marked his
( Administration. The inconsiderate praises
lavished on Mr. Hill have only induced him to
affect the airs of the Grand Seignecr, ami
thereby make himself ludicroii*; while the <larts
, of his enemies, so far from weakening Gov.
Johnson, have only *tung him into the exhibi
tion of new strength ami the development of
, new resources.
We have suffered ourselves to fall into tin ->•
rcticctioiis somewhat unconsciously, n >r do
they seem to have much connection with the
heading of this article; but. now that they are
written, we do not repent them. We believe
that Gov. Johnson, through his friends, may
i proudly challenge comparison with any of the
public men of Georgia, the South. or the
I'nion. Those who surpass him in the aits of
the demagogue, arc many ; those who surpass
him in devotion to principle, are few, indeed ;
ami while, here ami there, may be found a
man who excels him in some single trait of
mind or character, we know not one who pos
sesses, in a more eminent degree, that rare
combination of qualities that make, or ought
to make, a dalesman acceptable to th- South
ern people.
It is no part of our nature to indulge in the

INAUGURAL OF GOV. BROWN.
Elsewhere in our columns will be found
the Inaugural of the lion. -Joseph E. Brown,
our Governor Elect. It is a manly and straight
■ forward document, containing just views, which
are enunciated in a clear and forcible style.
The reference to Federal Relations is brief
but pointed, and afford- the satisfactory a-siir
i anee that should aggression be attempted
against us during hi" Executive Term, he will
be prompt to resist it at any ami every hazard
and to the last extremity.
j The allusion to th« Banks, though short, is
nevertheless very significant ami pregnant with
meaning. It has created a terrible 11 uttering
among the lame ducks and has fallen like a
bomb-shell among the Brokers, to whom it is
the fashion to give the name of Bankers in
tl/.s State. The Governor announces his de
termination that, so far as the duty devolves
on him. the legal penalty against Banks refus
ing to pay specie aha 11 be eiiforcol, and from
all that we have learnc 1 of his character, we
think it very unlikely that he can be coaxed
out of his convictions or bullied out of his pur
poses.
From present appearances we are likely to
‘ have in the Legislature a Bank war, such as
• we had in the times of -Jackson, though of
course on a smaller scale. Nothing i< so savage
as At Aim e when the attempt is made to car
tail its gains to a reasonable standard, and
Gov. Brown must make up his mind for a long
and ferocious tight. Experience has proved,
, that there is no enemy >o active ami übiquitous
. as a money » d Corporation lighting for the pre
servation of its monopolies.
What the Legislature may determine on with
regard to the Banks we cannot conjecture.
Circumstances have placed the sick Lion in
i their power. Wv shall not he inconsolable it
they kill him outright, but at the very least,
' we beg them never to let him out on the peo-
• pie till they have cut his daws and extracted
ail his teeth,

W IT.KER \M> I. XWSAS.
THE LEGISLATURE OF GEORGIA.
We sincerely trust that there is no man in
our Legislature, who will undertake the un
profitable task of defending Robert J. M alk
er, the Governor of Kansas Territory, from the
just indignation of the people ot Georgia and
the South. Wc sincerely trust that the Legis
lature will not be upon the subject—that
it will m»t content itself with the r. iteration of
th< Third Resoli rio.N of the la-t Democratic
Convention in this State—but that, by Joint
Resot.lti in <»fboth Houses, it will deplore the
retention of Governor Walker in office up to
the present time, ami instruct our two Sena
tors to vote for his rejection, should his mime
be sent before them for confirmation. \\ e be
lieve Mr. T<io.mil* and Mr. Ivei>o\ will pursue
this course icithout instructions, yet we are
none the less persuaded that it i* due to the
public sciitini nt that the Lcgidature should
suffer no doubt t > obtain as to it* position on
this question. We are the more anxious for
this because the Legislature i* strongly Demo
cratic —because the Democrat!" party have
professed a peculiar devotion to the principle
of the K:'.n*a* bill—and bvcau*v it is, there
fore. of the first importance that wc, the Demo
cratic party of Georgia, should solemnly ab
solve oui’sclw* from all compli' ity or sympa
thy with tiie policy !»y which that principle
ha* been violated and betrayed.
When the Democratic Convention wa* in
*css*i<»n, the im .isure of Walker’s iniquity was
not yet full. We had only before u* his Inau
gural Address and Topeka speech. Nct these
were considered amply sufficient to justify his
condemnation, ami to require bis recall. Since
then, month after month has rolled away, ami
the respectful reinotL-traiices of the Demo, ra
cy of Georgia and Mi*-is.*ippi still remain un
answered. Although the President has not
thought it inconsistent with flu- dignity of hi*
place, to indite an elaborate answer to sundry
half-crazed citizen* of a State which voted
against him, we have been told that he could
not respoml, w ithout a breach of decorum, to
the call of two State*, t ach of which lias a rep
rest illative in hi* Cabinet and both of w hich
gave him nmjoritie* ly tens of thousand*.
We have never been fully satisfied with this
reasoning. We have never been able exactly
to perceive how it would help the matter, even
if the President make a satisfactory expla
nation on paper ff , < r all the mischief bad been
accomplished, but knowing our own ignorance.
God help us. of the noble science of Court Eti
quette, we have deferred to the superior judg
ment of our polite stickler* for propriety. We
have been told to wait, ami accordingly we have
waited. We have been told tu have faith, aid
accordingly we have prayed to have it. We
have been told to give Mr. Bn hanan time,
and. accordingly, we have renewed the dratt,
•/// libitum. have been told to think of h:*
“ past history.” and accordingly we have tried
to shut our eyes to w hat has been going on
around n*. In short, the < onfidence game, so
cidcbrated in the great cities, has b< en played
upon ii*. am! we have made no objection w hile

it is quite >ure that we have lost the lerritory
of Kansas. No chevalier (Tinduxtrit of New
York could have practiced the •• Conthlcm-e
dodge with a more felicitous and perfect suc
cess. We have displayed an artless simplicity
ami an abiding faith, which has ensured the
operation against the chance of and
some of us have a trust so heavenly tWtt we
have not yet discovered our loss.
If our language lias the air of levity, our leel
ings are widely different, for while contempla
ting the course of affairs in Kansas, we confe-s
to the deepe-t chagrin and mortification. —
When the democratic Convention of Georgia.
was in st—ion, W ai kei: had already used terms
of unwarrantable dictation in reference to the
Constitutional Convention hr had already de
i dared that their work w»/.o' be submitted to
the people —lie had already pronounced it im
possible that Kan as could he other than a Free
t State—he had already told the Topekaites,
f men at that very time in open rebellion to the
( laws of the Territory, that r.ul« they were
allowed to vote upon the Constitution, he. the
, President, ami the (’ongr<— of the I nited
States, would join them in oppo.-ing the admis
sion of Kansas info the I in. n under that in
strument. In one word, h* had grossly ioter
i rened y in violation of the spirit and the letter
. of the Kansas Act. These facts were undi.-pu-
I ted. ami here was presented a state of things
which called lor some action from the party.
Action was accordingly taken. The Conven
> tion unanimously denounced V» acker. ami al
< most unanimously expressed the hope that he
f would be recalled. ’lbis, they did with unim
paired “ ( o:itid< i;e. ” in Mr. Bn hasan. as th< ;.
took especial pains to declare. If will hardly
I be denied that this •• confidence ’ wa< genuine,
r for though destined to immediate disappoint
, ment (in the refusal to recall \\ ai.ker.) it has
- nevertheless withst <«l shock after shock al
most up to the present writing. We all know
the fate of tic Third Resolution. Wai.kei: was
i not recalled. He v :;s not reprimanded. He
was not even i\ pud .- :• d as the exponent of the
i Admiiii-t/aiion. M Br< hanan pres ivedan
f obstinate silence. Mr. Cobb and Mr. Thomp
son Miade no response to the Georgia ami Mis
. sissippi Resolutions, were only saved f rom
I the “ <lcad cut" at W hingt<m by tl;u recogni
tion of the I'nion ncw-paper, which so far no
ticed ii-uisto pronoum • the Resolution "harsh
, ami ungracious." In the absence of any thing
else to fall back upon, we fell back upon our
faith, ami were for. I to bu content with
vague a—urflm-. s t‘r- > . nonymonssources that
. the President was d. •• rinined that the K an
■ sa.s Act should be f. '• y execute 1.
The far* that ae <r t ■; no content ought to put
1 to rest forever the 1 g charge that the l>e
niocracy of G‘<>rgia v « re seeking for an op
portunity to iiistitub a factious war against
the Administration. Their request was treat
ed with absolute indifference, and though they
felt the neglect, they <iid not resent it. They
were found everywhere, during the late Can
| \a-s. difiidi’i-i Mr. Bi < hanan, and guarantee
ing hi* uitimate vindication. They were found
| everywhere hugging the extravagant hope that
■an Administration which would neither repu
i diatu nor recall its agent, was dissatisfied with
bis conduct. They were found everywhere,
by dint of repeating Mr. Bn han an’s record as
a Congressman, bullying themselves into the
belief that he could n 4 po-*ihly fail them as a
President. Their loyaliy to the Administra
tion ha* w-‘.tli*t<»od n test more rigorous than
any heretofore applied, and whatever may be
*aid of their wisdom, they have displayed a
magnanimous confidence, w hich ought to sat
isfy the most exacting.
How has it been repaid? When Mr. Bi -
( han an refused to recall orreprimand Walker.
•lid w< not expect, and did we not have the
right to expect, that he would ut, hut place
him under -uch instruction* and restrictions as
would prevent any repetition of his offence t
How signal has been the failure of that hope!
Since the session of the Convention in this
State. Walker, so far from pausing in his ca
reer, ha* gone on from bad to worse, and the
Topeka speech was creditable, compared with
that which has followed. He has nullified the
law making the payment of taxes a pre-requi
site to the right of sulfrage, thereby opening
the polls to every vagabond Free Sutler in the
Territory, and this expedient tailing, he ha*,
with one stroke of his pen. struck out of ex
istence hundreds and humlreds of votes. He
has assumed the province of deciding on the
leguhtij oj' rote*—he bus ptowd upon the qual
ification* of mt tn her* of the Lcgi-dature he
ha* thereby comph iq changed the political
character of that Imdg— and we venture the
assertion that such a dangerous usurpation of
power has no parallel in the history of the
United States. It is dear that had Mr. Br
en wan listened to the voices of Georgia and
Mississippi, all this would have been averted,
ami though Kansas might still have been a
Free State, we sltould have had no precedent
tor this gross perversion of official powers, and
the principle non-inh creation would have
been preserved inviolate. As it is, the experi
ment, from which we hoped so much, has re
sulted in a farce ami a fraud.
It is no defence for all this, to say that Kan
sas would have been a Free Statu without the
intervention of Walker, or that the votes c?;-
(•luded were fraudulent. We incline to believe
that both these propositions are true, but to
the first we answer that if W alker’s interven
tion was not needed to defeat us, his interfer
ence wasre/// inaliriou*. and therefore the
more reprehensible; while to the other it is a
sufficient reply that the act was an illegal usur
pation, ami therefore to be resisted—that it is
a dangerous precedent, and therefore not t » be
tolerated, k *t precedents may accumulate into
law--and that if a Governor may exclude
vote* according to his own discretion, the right
of suffrage is ;i 4 worth contending for. He
may exclude a vote which is legal as easily a*
one which i* fraudulent, and under such a *y<-
te;n, we are at once reduced to a despotism,
where we have no security except in the mod
eration of our tyrant. We have long since
- .-a- •! to hope that Ka.nsxs would be a Si axe
State, but we did !.<»:» ■■ that the principle of
m>, ■-'.>/ terr; ntloo would there h:i\c a fair and
practical application. It is l» -car.-e this prin

very worst that we apprehended has come

protest against all who justify his usurpations
and his fraud*.
[The above article ha* been contributed by a
friend, and m the main it expres*es our senti
ment*. In our opinion, Mr. Bi t hanan ought
long ago to have recalled Walker, and the
Georgia Senators should oppose his (•onfirma
tion. The Democracy of Kansas, who are on
the ground, fully share the indignation of our ,
contributor. They declare that the law does
not requiiv that returns should show that man
agers were sworn, or that the poll bonk re
turned is one <4 the original poll book* kept at
the election, but that the crrtificateaml returns
rejet ted are in exact accordance with law.
They *ay further that the candidates of the
Black Republicans, to whom Walker ha* giv
en certificates, are returned in poll books liable
to the very same objection*, and that accord
ing to Walker’s Proclamation, every poll book
in the Territory, with only one exception, must
be thrown out. Judge Cato ha* issued an in
junction against Walker and Stanton, com
manding them to i-'uo certificates of election
to the Democratic candidate*.—Eds. Stai e

MACON YOUNG MEN’S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION
JUDGE NISBET'S LECTURE.
Messrs. Editors Quite a large and appre
ciative audience assembled at the Baptist
Church, on Tuesday evening, to hear the lec
ture of Judge Nisbet before the above-named
Association, and 1 am sure there was no one
present who did not listen with pleasure and
profit. Indeed, we experienced a literary treat
which is seldom furnished our community.
The Judge commenced by apologizing for re
peating a lecture which, he said, he had pre
pared for another purpose, ami had delivered
on a previous occasion in Grillin. but stated
that he repeated it at the earnest solicitation
ot the Association. No apology, however, was
nccc—:irx. Many of his audience had never
had an opportunity of reading the lecture—
which had been printed in pamphlet form for
distribution—and those who had, were not un
willing to hear it again. The Judge should re
member that a good thing will bear repetition
without becoming stale or common-place. Be
sides, those of us who had read the lecture in
print, could easily discover that the lecturer
did not confine himself tu it, but made addi
tions, in the course of his remarks before the
Association, which enhanced its interest and
value.
I do not propose to give a minute synop••’*
of the lecture—l do not wish to mar its beauty
of thought ami style, or to mutilate the * m
metry of its proportions. Its theme was • i'.c
Beautiful,” and the lecture itself, ”a thing of
beauty.” Its beauty did not consist merely in
the graceful garniture with which its thoughts
Were clad, but the thoughts themselves sug
gested much food for reflection. Its two main
* di\ isiolis seemed to !»e. Ist, Some views as to
who arc capable of appreciating the beautiful,
and the different degrees of its enjoyment;
and 2d. An inquiry into the nature of the
beautiful. The main idea presented under the
first division was, that no one can rightly ap
preciate the beautiful, who is not an admirer
of what is good—that the manifold beauties of
Nature indicate the infinite bcnc.’cencc am!
goodness of God. and therefore lie who has no
appreciative sense of God’s goodness, cannot
truly enjoy the beauties of his creation—in a
word, that whatever is beautiful, has an inti
mate connection with what is pure and good.
This idea was illustrated in a variety of way*
—in it* application t » beauties of life ami cha
racter, a* well as to the externa! beauties of
Nature. The degree in which a man enjoys
the beautiful, is measured by the purity and
loveline** of hi* character, heightened, of
course, by the cultivation of his intellect.
Under the second division many gems of
thought were presented, which I have neither
time nor space, even if 1 were capable, to
group together. The lecturer's favorite idea
of beauty seemed to be beauty of character,
am! hi* delineation* of wliat is lovely in cha
racter, both male ami female, Were striking
and graphic—closing bis remarks on this point
with an imprv*sive portraiture of the life and
character of Christ.

It is m/r.x to our citizens :
Homh-ldt. ih Macon.- We learn from a | .i'-
seiigcr by the Muscogee Railroad, on Sat mi ay
morning last, that on the day previous. ju*(
before the evening train left for this city, an
affray occurred between a man by the name <4
Kilpatrick, and another by the name of Jones,
when the former shot the latter through tin
head with a pistol, causing hi* death immedi
ately. Our informant staled that they were
both under the inlluem e of liquor.
Most too fa*t, friend! Better ’"wait for the
wagon” next time, and don’t let your anxiety
to get the letc't m-ws for your sprightly lit’.ie
Daily lead you into publishing such "Cock ; t :d
Bull ’ stories as the above. Nothing of the
kind occurred. 'lhe last statement (with re
gard to the "liquor”) m<nj be true, as wc thinE
it \ery likely, from what wc learn, that Mr.
Jones ?rz/x "shot” with a “pocket pistol ’ by
one J. Barleycorn in Mr. Kilpatrick's estab
lishment ; but as long habit has accustomed
him to such "shots,” no fatal consequence*
arc apprehended. Doubtless, he is ready any
day for a similar encounter —especially if the
weapons be "brlcl,*."
ARRIVAL Os THE CARS AT ALBANY.
It will be seen from the following notice in
the Albany Patriot of the sth inst., the
Railroad ha* been completed to that point.
Macon welcomes her thriving sister of the
Southwest to the connection with her in bonds
of iron. May the union be mutually advanta
geous. The Patriot says:
“The first train of cars over the Georgia ami
Florida Railroad to Albany, arrived this morn
ing. We were gratified to welcome R. R.Cuy
, h r. President of the Southwestern R. R. Com
pany. and Geo. W. Adams. Esq.. Superintend
ent, and T. Purse. Esq.. Savannah, with a con
siderable number of other passengers’
“To-day our citizens realize the great object
for which our little community ha* been strug
gling through the past two year*, in a connec
tion with the va*t railroad systems of the State
and the Union. Their exertion* have been
commendable, and their success equal to their
most sanguine expectations. We rejoice with
our community, and with all the people of this
section. Railroad facilities were all that was
wanted to make this the most wealthy and at
tractive part of our goodly State. Albany is
now the most convenient point for shipping
the produce of a large ami fertile section, and
it will doubtless be one of the best interior
markets of the State.”
Elections. — Ihe Black Republican* in New
York concede a Democratic majority of about
10.000. Louisiana and New Jersey have both
"one for Democracy. Massachusetts, to her
shame be it said, is joined to her idol*, having
elected Bank*. Abolitionist, bv a considerable
plurality. Marx land ha.* stultified herself by
giving an increased Know-Nothing majority.
Four men were killed in Baltimore on election
1 day.
Good Cotton. —According to the Savannah
Republican, 25 bales of very superior cotton
sold in that city last week for 14 cents—con
siderably ahead of the market price, on ac
count of the superiority of it* color and staph .
