from the Guinea <K»a-t, wlio-e chiefs it is un
derstood assert and cxcrci-e rights of mastery

1 am « iliing to hear the point argued and also
>ther very important one, which is to this
V -ect, that African slavery, though very right
and very proper and much to be justified,
where it now exists at the South, is a thing
after all to be separated, very carefully, from
«ct o f briu'tin'l it there, which act was im
moral, irreligious, wicked, inexpedient and
w ill be so again, the hand of Proridence which
wus at one time so discernible in it hating been
as discernably withdrawn ■'
Or it may be’that whilst the principle re
mains the tame, the question of expetliency has
come in and determined the opinions and leg
islation ot the country, but upon this point too
v. mid I hear further argument.
I may maintain or deny that the Federal
Slave trade acts are Constitutional, or if they
i.e, that they apply, or can be made to apply,
to the introduction of Africans in the condition
ot apprenti'i.f, may declare tor the retention
of these acts, Federal and State, or for their
repeal, without subjecting myself, in either
< <se, to the charge of being deficient in patri
otism, or in any of those attributes which are
o morally held to be compatible with good cit
izenship.
Favoring even the repeal of the Federal acts
as a brand upon the institutions of the South,
.1 may. nevertheless, reserve the right of advo
cating the retention, in whole or part, of those
of the Sl'dis, should further examination indi
cate that ns the safer policy; or may be m iliing
to advocate the repeal in such States only as
seem to be the most crippled, Texas. Louisiana,
etc... and the new States which are in embryo,
regulating the repeal even then, so stringently,
sa discreetly, as to remove every ground of
; ,'prehension. either of excessive supply, or ol
!. . sliness and cruelty to be practised, over and
above that which is unavoidably incident to
immigration of every kind.
Let the election be what it may, the subject
is indeed fully and fairly before the public, and
is quite as legitimate and proper for discussion
ami argument, in every point of view, as any
of those trite and hackneyed ones, of banks,
t. iitls, internal improvements and revenues,
that have made the fortunes of politicians, and
divided and distracted our people, in every
period of their history.
To aid this discussion by the preparation
and publication of leports and addresses, by
the bringing into collision of mind with mind
: n town, county and state meetings and asso
•nations; by collecting and disseminating ap
propriate data, may be stated in brief to be
tin purpose of the African Labor supply as.-o
. i .’ion, its members being impressed with the
neral merits of the cause in which they are
• i ted. but at the same time open to argil
ment, and opposing conviction. They adopt
i i machinery which is nnusunl, m.d che r isli
mi aims that are not proclaimed ont of doors
litnilatiug themselvesrather to those league
;. .d associations, which, in Europe and Amer
i. under the banner of the “Corn laws,’
/rec Trade,’’ “Parliamentary Reform,” etc.
have been as familiar as household words, and
Eve never been thought at all inconsistent
1 'th the duties of good citizenship.
'for ought it to he regarded as an impracti
cable issue, though it may almost verge upon
i at point, to obtain a repeal of the national
i-hitioii upon the subject of the slave trade.
Revolutions seemingly as impossible, have
been accomplished time and again in history.
The stop which was given to this trade was
on of those revolutions, when every christiai
and civilized power had previously sanctioned
mid supported it. The attitude which slavery
it--.il has ns,timed, contrasted with that it held
in the days of Mr. Jefferson, and of Wilber
force, is another of those revolutions. It
would not do to fix opinion by Procrustean
laws, and should the South be brought to unite
again the energy of her convictions, may tell
very potently and very far.
/ say should the South unite—for who can be
sin e, that when our smaller proprietors and
n -n-slaveholders, among the best and most re
liable citizens we have, come to examine care
fully, they will not imagine that there is a
tendency at present to consolidate in fewer
and fewer hands, the entire control of labor
with us, and that such a tendency is capable
of being counteracted, and their own state
i; id condition greatly improved, by the open
ing of a new source of supply, which from its
comparative cheapness, would prove to be
witbin their reach, and adapted to the inferior
lauds, which are in their possession, or are
readily accessible to them.
The larger proprietors, the sterling men of
Wealth and character, after a careful survey
of the whole field, may see, that let even the
worse happen, and their slaves and products
depreciate in the market, their condition will
at least have inappreciable advantages of an
other kind, in this, that the basis of shivery
will be enlarged, mid be brought to embrace
in a direct and tangible interest, every member
"f tin- community, and its area at the same time
be w idened by the introduction of new States,
interested in its maiiitaiuanee, mid by the re
tcatiou of those States now upon the border.

A few Words to Foreign Voters.
The Bulletin yesterday ottered the grossest |
insult to the foreign population. It contains :
an article, the evident tendency of which is to '
induce the foreigners io yote for the ini.-erab.e ,
“ Opposition,” composed as it is mostly ot their I
enemies, By offering such a bid the Bulletin |
either presumes largely f?n the ignorance and ,
gullibility of the foreign population, or it re
gards as them hopelessly corrupt.
The Know-Nothing platform, it is true, was
a frail raft of rotten logs, but it was the em
bodiment of religious intoieraneg, unequal
rights and secret politics. Gratitude is a pre
dominating trait in the character of the for
eigner, fti«l to suppose that in the present con
test he could he Induced so desert the Demo- .
eratic party and to support t! e (i Opposition,’
would be equivalent to charging him with that
kind of abject, crouching servility which in
spires the dog to lick the loot that kicks him.
if there be a foreigner in Tennessee so forget
ful of himself and his friends ns to think <>f :
supporting Lis ancient enemies in preference :
to his friends, we would beg leave to call the 1
attention of all such to the former views of the ’
“Opposition,” who swore upon the “ Holy i
Bible and Cross,” that they “would not vote
nor give their influence for any man for any
office in the gift of the people, unless he fe ai.
American-born citizen, in favor of Amerii-nn
born ruling America, or if he be a Rom u
Catholic, and that they will nut under any cir
cumstnnces, expose the name of any memlicr
of the order, nor reveal the existence of snch
an organization. To all the foregoing they
bind themselves, under the no less penalty
than that of being expelled from the order
and of having their names posted and circulat
ed throughout all the different councils ot the
L’nited btates us perjurers and as traitors to
God and their country ; as being unfit to be
inployed and trusted, countenanced or sup
■ irted in any business transaction; a- persons
unworthy the eoiifidence ot all go al men. and
as those at whom the finger of scorn should
ever be pointed.”
This extract, full of sentiments cruel, pro
scriptive. unjust and dangerous to the literties
and government ot a free people, is taken from
the official ritual of the “ Opposition” or
Know-Nothing party of 1855. The party that
then disdained political association with tin
impulsive and patriotic Irishman, the vivm ions
aid versatile Frenchman, the careful and fra
:al Scotchman, the solid and industrious Eu
glishman, the quiet and philosophic German
the chivalric Polander, the ardent Italian and
the thrifty Spaniard, are now soothing llie
same patriotic class with soft sawder and lion
eyed words. This order, in its shameful pro
scription and intolerant bigotry, made m> dis
tinction in favor of those nations whose illus
trious sons had shed their blood for ns in the
darkest days of the Revolution. Although
Richard Montgomery, at the early age of thir
ty-eight, fell while leading the American army
up the heights of Quebec, yet the order p< r- j
seeuted the Iri-li countrymen <>! that noble pi- :
triot. and denied the rig' ts of peril ct citizen- I
-hip. It undertook also to sit in judgement ■
upon and to condemn the citizens of that no
ble country w hich gave to us Baron DeKalb,
who fell at the buttle of Camden, pierced by
twelve frightful wounds. The classic fume of |
Kosciusko and Count Pulaski failed to melt the
flinty heart of the secret, oath-bound, proscrip
tive party. The countrymen of General La
fayette were not deemed worthy of association
as political equals with the “ Opposition” only
four years ago. The natives of the land which
gave birth to that “Paladin of the Seas,” John
Paul Jones, and which gave to the world Scott i
and Burns, were also considered unfit to hold j
office. In a word, the “Constitution” which .
the “Opposition” swore to support and regard ,
as “ binding through lite,” would, had it ex-I
isted in the earlier days of the Republic, have
denied to our forefathers the military and civ- I
ic “aid” of surh men as Alexander Hamilton,
General Horatio Gates, General Hugh Mercer,
I General Montgomery, Alexander James Dal
las, Robert Morris, General Steuben, Lafayette.
Thomas Paine, Albert Gallatin. General Mail- ;
trie, and hundreds of other great soldiers and I
statesmen who happened to be neither “native i
born" nor Protestants. But despite their se- !
crcv oaths, grips and passwords, odd and even |
numerals and letters, they were routed, horse, I
foot and dragoons. The Democracy scorned a
party entertaining such bigoted proscription
and inhospitable sentiments.
We have in the present canvass most of the
j elements of the same opposition to contend
| against. Their platform has disappeared, or,
I rather, the infuriated Democracy tore it to
I pieces, but the leaders are essentially the same.
I Neither can the “Opposition” take credit to
' themselves for abandoning their platform.— '
They only fled from it like rats from an old
barn when it tottered to its tail. When defeat
i and disgrace were inevitable, they east loose ,
; from it as a man struggling for life would from
a loud of lead fastened to bis feet. They de
serted Sam, but not until his larder was found
empty and his tests ami ritual oaths became
odious and hateful in the eyes of the nation.— ;
And yet, this is the party which, because it j
has erected a new platform and gathered back
a few old-line Whigs, seeks to procure foreign
votes. It is still the same unfriendly party to
the foreigner, and he will so regard it. as will I
bo exhibited by his vote on the day of election. I

Escape of Prisoners.
Seven prisoners, confined in the jail .4 Chat
I ham county, made the’r escape yesterday inoi
ning, abou’ half pa-t ten o'clock, in a most
! daring manner. At about the hour mentioned
above. Mr. Charles Van Horn, the jailor, who
was in the yard of the jail, heard a noise in the
building. He immediately went in and foun 1
! that the locks ot the cells on the lower floor,
had been removed, and the prisoners confined
in them w ere aliout to escape. He ran into
the room on the same floor used as an office,
for his pistol. Campbell and Morgan, in the
meantime, having effected their escape from
j the cells in which they had been confined, an
hidden themselves in the passage, seized him
by the arms as he passed them, on his way
back with the pistol He tired at Catnpliell
but missed him, ami was immediately over
powered, and, with the assistance of two or
three others, throw n down and tied bands and
feet with a stout rope. After lieuting Idin se
verely. and shooting at him (fortunately with
out effect.) they took the jail key from his
pocket, and made their escape.
The names o' these daring rascals are ns
follows: Wm. M. Brown, charged With for
gery ; James Morgan, Burney Flanuigan. and
James Campbell. charged with murder, and
Hui. Claik, Louis Davis, and Thomas Furge
son, charged with larceny. Campbell. Clark,
atiu Davis have been arrested ; the others are
still al large.

but is not seriously injured. We are also in

Bm-hanan's • fficial acts is true, his arrest of
Walker, for instance met with a decided ob
'oction bv Southern men. but i> was not an act
•nore odious to us than Mr. Fillmore’s Cuban
policy, and bis mean withdrawal of an ifficini
vho obeyed instructions to shrink from the
1 -osponsibility. Mr. Buchanan had at least the
nanliness to sustain Paulding. Wo smile n’
i he charge of extravagance coming from Amer
■cans. when it is a well known fact, that large
tuna of money wore voted away for works of
’nternal Improvements hv the General Goy-
■rnment opposed by the Democrats, and by n
■ombination of American-’and Black Rcpubli
•nns were passed over the veto of Mr. Buchan
in.
The 33rd Congress under Democratic rule
as compared with the 34th under the rule o*
\mericans and Black Republicans shows a
credit in favor of Democratic economy of over
t'>o,ooo dollars.
If we are asked to leave the Democratic par
•y on account of its extravagance, where art
re to go, to what party to effect economy. To
ay we will vote for some man in this District
or Congress would be trifling. You must co
perate with some National party. To see n
■ nan taking down his rifle and starting by h : m
elf to war to protect the interests and honor
fa nation, would be no more simple than to ex
•eet to effect the expenditure of the National
T vernment by sending, say Cnpt. Hardeman,
» Congress, You must co-operate with some
body—either the Republican or Democrats—
ind I have shown you that the Republicans are
■nore extravagant than the Democratic Party.
If we go to the administration of our own S'ate
affairs we find economy and ability exercised
n their management We speak of things
lational, as in this country, Presidents must be
elected under, and by reason of party organi
sation.
To oppose the Democratic party in Georgia
may result in electing a few connty officers—n
ew members to the Legislature, and two Con
-ressmen ; give it all it claims, and it has this
effect no more. Now can any principle of
Government be inaugurated, can any thing b'
lone for the good of the country by this? In
Congress you will have to co-operate with ei
'ber one of two parties—with which, lifter all
the abuse to be poureil out on the Democrats
Inring the present year, you will have to vote
vitli them as Mr. Trippedid.
Necessity drives the conviction on us, and it
opposed to the Democracy, the best party in
the Union, the most conservative and just to
us, (and it's not immaculate,) let ns like men
go for no party at all, but for the Sonth, inde
pendent and loose from all Northern alliances.
If we desire to per|>etuate this Union, upon
terms of compromise, hold our negroes unmo
lested within the slave States, see our commer
cial advantages monopolized, yet still be al
lowed to raise cotton at fair prices and find
a gentleman's life, case and influence, witbin
our own loved South; we are for peace and
monetary prosperity, why, every thing de
mands of usan adherence, fixed and unalterable
■ to the Democratic party and without noise or
) agitation, prepare our ballots for the Charles
ton nominee. On the other hand, if we want
Southern commerce, Sonthern manufacture,
Southern interests advanced, and Southern
honor preserved wi'h self respect, with all onr
hearts let us oppose the Democratic party, but
not by indirectly elevating itaorour enemies;
but by boldly, inniily, fearlessly, ami unletterdlv
going tor a disolulion of the Union.
If we are for a Southern Confe<leracy, go
tor it, but not by opposing the Democracy, to
go under the iron rule of Black Republicanism.
I for one decline the invilatioii of the Exe<

encouraging light t c progress already made,
and demonstrating that the objects proposed
by the Convention—that farmers should man
age their own business in their own way, with
out, in the slightest degree, intending to in
ju e. wrong, or cause detriment to the busi
ness of any other class of men, but solely with
the view—in the use of the best means—of
securing their own best interest, was, without

was taken up for that object, under the follow
ing resolution from John Rutherford.

pense which may accrue. And also, that the

ings to the papers of this City.

The Fourth of July.
We published in a late number of this pa
er a communication calling upon our citizens
to make suitable arrangements for celebrating
this, the Natal Day of rur Independence as
a nation, in a becoming manner. This appeal
to the patriotism of our citizens appears to have
had very little effect, as wo have not heard as
yet of any steps having been taken in the matter.
This is a source of sorrowful reflection to us.i
Has the observance of this, our only National
Anniversary, become a secondary considera
tion with our citizens? We hope not, and we
trust that some of our go-a-hcad, noble-minded,
patriotic citizens will take immediate steps in
connection with our Military and Fire Compa
nies, iu making arrangements for a grand cel
ebration—one of the old-fashioned sort, with
which this day was observed when the inesti
mable blessings of liberty which we now enjoy
were acknowledged, and which on this day.
eighty-three years ago, were inaugurated. We
have in our midst a score of distinguished ora
tors who could do honor to the day, and who
would cheerfully comply with the wishes of
our citizens in this respect. Remember whatev
er is done must be done immediately, ns the
time is short.
Indian Spring.
We learn by a private letter from this de
servedly popular and fashionable watering
place that the season there has opened very
favorably, and that there are quite a number
of arrivals every day. Many improvements
have been made since last summer—a band of
music is now in attendance, nnd we are as
sured that the proprietors of the Hotel have
left nothing undone to add to the comfort and
enjoyment of their guests. The water of this
Spring is fir-famed for its medicinal proper
ties, and we know of no place where the
warm days of summer cun be more pleasantly
passed.
LaGrange Female College.
We observe from an advertisement in the
LaGrange Reporter thai the Examination of

lias the following laconic notice:
“ John trill appear next week"

was received last Monday night by the Morgan

As our readers are aware, we have been
trying lately to get our neighbor of the Jour
nal <t- Messenger on our side in the approach
ing Gubernatorial contest. Sometimes he goes
a-tray, but he now appears to be on the right
track, as witness the annexed paragraphs from
his issue of to-day.
“ That the nomination of Gov. Baowx for re-elec
tion will be well received by the great mass of Demo
crats cannot be doubted.” » a » •
“We see no good in opposing his re-election.”
Who says now that the Messenger is an Op
position paper! We have spiked that gun,
and with all modesty we think the Democrats
owe us a vote ot thanks for our successful
management of the case.
Affairs in Washington.
The following paragraph is clipped from the
Special Despatch to the New York Herald,
dated Washington, June 17th :
“Letters were received this morning, brought
by the Europa, from Mr. Dallas. The aspect
of affairs in Europe, he says, gives little hope
to an early peace. Active operations still con
tinue in the territories of the belligerents and
iu the vexed question of netural rights will
paralyse the commercial interest of the Old
World, while we must, in almost any event,
be lienefitted. He says also that it is the o
pinion of the leading statesmen that should
the war be long protracted, it will be difficult
for England to preserve her neutrality. The

Rights of Adopted Citizenship.
The Secretary of State has given an official
explanation and decision of great interest aud
I importance to all naturalized citizens who may
leave the limits of the United States:
“Department of State, 1
Washington, June 14, 1859. )
“Sir.—ln answer to your letter of the Sth
inst.. I have to inform you that the brief let
ter from this Department, t» which you refer,
dated the 17th of may last, and addressed to
Mr. Felix Le Clerc. was in reply to an applica
tion for information, and was principally in
tended to recommend caution to our naturali
zed fellow-citizens, natives of France, in re
turning to that country, as the operations <rf
the French conscription law were not precise
ly known here, and might bear injuriously up
on that class o American citizens. Most of the
continental European nations have a system of
■ rulitary organization by which their citizens
are compelled to serve in the army, by con
scription ns in France, where the duty is des
ignated by lot, or by draft as in Prussia, » here
every person is required to take his turn u» a
soldier. The condition of American naturali
zed citizens, returning to their native country,
where the system ot <-oiiipulsory service pre
vails, and w ho hail left belore performing such
service, has frequently U en the aubject of die
cussimi with aouHi of the Eurapeau powers.

ing the citizen in the choice of a home, and
•inding him by a mere political theory to in
habit for his lifetime a country which he con
-Uiiilly desires to leave, can hardly bo enter
tained by any government whatever.” The
position of the United States as communicated
to the minister r.t Berlin for the information
of the Prossian Government, is, that native
born Prussians, naturalized in the United r
States and returning to the country of their
birth, are not liable to any duties or penalties I
except such as were existing at the period of
their emigration.
It nt that time they were in the army, or
actually called into it. such emigration nnd nnt
uralization do not exempt them from the legal
penalty which they incurred by their deser
tion, but this penalty may be enforced against
them whenever they shall voluntarily place
themselves within the local jurisdiction of
their native country, and shall be proceeded
against acecording to law. But when no '
present liabilities exist against them, nt the
period of their emigration, the law of nations,
in the opinion of this Government, gives no
•right to any country to interfere with natural
zed American citizens, and the attempt to do
so would be considered an act unjust in itself
and unfriendly towards the United States.—
This question cannot, of course, arise in the
ease of a naturalized citizen who remains in
lie United States. It is only when lie vol
untarily returns to his native country that its
local laws can be enforced against him.

Tribute of Respect.
At a meeting of the members of the Macon Bar
held at the office of W. K. deGraffenreid, Esq., on
, the 22nd inst.—upon motion of J. A Nisbet, Esq.,
John J. Greshman, Esq., was called to the Chair aud
T. G. Holt, Jr., requested to act as Secretary.
The Chairman briefly explained the object of the
meeting to be to take flume appropriate action con
cerning the death of our deceased brother, John La
mar, Esq.
A. P. Powers, Esq., paid an eloquent tribute to the
life and character of the deceased, when upon motion
the Chairman appointed a committee of five, con.-ist
ing of A. P. Powers, E. A. Nisbet, \V’. K. deGrafien
reid, P. Tracy and T. P. Stubbs, Esq., to report a
suitable preamble and resolutions commemorative of
the virtues of our deceased brother.
The committee after consultation reported the fol
lowing :
Whereas, we have received the sad intelligence of
the death of our esteemed young brother, Jn*o. La
har. Esq., who departed this life at the residence of
bis father, the Hon. Henry G. Lamar, in Vineville.
near this city, at 10 o’clock yesterday evening: we.
his fellow members of the Macon Bar, have assem
bled to do honor to the memory of our beloved asao-
, ciate and brother.
( Jno. Lamar was born in the city of Macon, and re
sided here for the most part until his death. He ear
ly gave promise of a rich future- After his prelim
inary education was finished be entered the Uni
versity of Georgia, at Athens, and there greatly dis
tinguished himaelf, bearing off the honors of his class
—immediately thereafter he commenced the study of
j Law in the office of his distinguished father, and such
i was his energy and industry he prepared himself aud
was admitted to plead and practice law in the sever-
( al courts of this State in a very short lime. Here on
; this appropriate field the talents of our young broth
ler were displayed at once. His business habits, his
i steadiness of character, his enthusiastic devotion to
’ the cause of his clients, and bis love of the profession,
i joined with bis legal ability and happy delivery,
i soon won him a distinguished position among those
J who like himself had just entered on this great are
, na. Had he lived we hazard nothing in saying his
I name would have been enrolled high on the tablets
jof fame. But he has been cut off just as be entered
the threshold of a career .o promising. If high and
just hopes, if great talents and pure murals, if noble
purposes and the love of friends could have saved
him, our brother would have been with us to-day.—
Bat tho Omnipotent hath spoken, and our brother
has joined the innumerable throng of the departed.—
All that is left to us is to bow hi humility to this
great and afflictive dispensation—the ways of God
arc not our ways—his judgements are past finding
out, but we believe that he dues all things rightly
and for our good though it may not so appear to our
imperfect mortal vision. Therefore
Be it Resolved, That we the members of the bar
here assembled, deeply sympathize with the family
and friends of the deceased, in this their sad calam
ity.
Resolved, That as a mark of respect to our deceased
brother we will attend his funeral in a body, and tha t
the members of the bar and the officers of the court
will wear the usual badge of mourning fur thirty
days.
Resolved, That Bibb Superior Court be requested
to spread these proceedings on the minutes of said
Court and a copy duly certified be presented to the
family of the deceased.
Upon motion of C. A. Anderson, Esq., the city pa
pers were requested to publish the proceedings of
the meeting.
Upon motion of W. K. deGraffenreid, a commit
tee consisting of W. K. deGraffenreid, S. Hunter
T. G. Holt aud Arthur Dickinson, Esq., was ap
pointed to co-operate in the arrangements of the
funeral.
Whereupon the meeting adjourned.

A Drunken Man’s Soliloquy.—ln the
Memphis Argus we find the following amusing
sketch:
While walking along Shelby street at a late
hour last night, we overheard a singular solil
oquy from a “ son of Bacchus/' who was
i enough “ sheets in the wind,” whether that be
| three or a dozen, to imagine himself duplicat
ed, or else to think some intimate personal
i friend was keeping him company in his lonely
midnight walk. The street was nearly desert
ed, and no one, saving the intoxicated individ
ual and ourself, being in sight. As we ap
proached Kithin fifteen or twenty feet of him,
I he indulged, with a hiccough, in the truthful
| obse-ration—
“ Billy, you’re drunk.”
“ No, I’m not/’ he replied, as he braced him
self up and endeavored to walk a little straight.
A moment after he said again :
“ Billy, I tell you, you are drunk.”
“ It’s a d—d lie, replied Billy, ” don’t you
suppose (hie) 1 know when I’m drunk us well
1 as you ? (hie.”)
“ Well, Billy, (hie) why don't you walk |
straight?”
This question, like the liquor he had drank,
seemed to stagger him a little, but supporting I
himself by a post a moment, he replied—
“ I can walk as straight as anybody.”
To illustrate this assertion, and convince his ;
imaginary friend, into whose mouth he was '
constantly putting words, of the truth of what
he said, ft illy started off very confidently, but '
Wore he had taken half a dozen steps, he lost
his equilibrium and fe.l.
I « There. Billy,” said he, “did’nt I tell you
vou were drunk ?”
“ Billy regained bis feet once more, and af
ter remaining silent for some moments, pro- 1
ceeded very deliberately to inform his suppis j
ed friend that he’d be d—d if be was drunk,
and cautioned him again-'t the danger of re- .
: |M*uting the offensive remark.
* k Well, Billy,” said he, seizing the (appel of
' his ow n coat with his left hand, “ if you’re not
i drunk, (hie) let’s go into the Rialto (hie) and
i take bo met Uh ig (hie.)
