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 language of indiscriminate eulogium, nor shall we over bo found the flatterers of those in place. But we shall make no apology for re cording this our tribute to an honest states man. who has no patronage to bestow, and no favors to dispense. 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, » , A VOICE FROM KANSAS.

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 ha* be. n p ‘ gr< '-ing. it is certain, therc- i ■ ■ - ■ fore, th;.l a suspicious temper can nut be im puted toll; l‘. y ofthisbtntc.

It is certain that we have m t received the kingdom, but on the other ham’, 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 ciple has been gio- -’y violated, and I ••■•mu* • it wiil be grossly \’u hite<l elsewhere and bc!\; t tcr. in cr.se of «>ar Hcq , i:e:-cci!r •. that vv ■ desire Hie i> liivr.

[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 Press.] Weather and Crops.

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. i close tlii* lm*ty and imperfect notice of the admirable lecture of Judge Ni-bet with a few word* in refercm-e to the Young Mv.i'.

Ray from the (’OIA MKI S “St N.” Olli’ b| il liant eotvinporary of the '.Uh in>t., enlighten* us with the following “beam of intelligciiec. ’ 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.
