Democrats to the polls—the battle in Bibb
county must be fought upon political princi
ples and not upon the personal merits of the
candidates. In morals, in intelligence, in
generosity, in character, every way, our men
arc equal to tho opposition. Personal merit
being equal, let us look to their politics. You
Democrats want a United States Senator elec
ted who will not favor or advocate all the odi
ous principles of the Knownotbing organiza
tion of fifty-five, or the so called American par
ty of fifty-six. Yon want a Kansas man, a
strict constructionist, a Democrat who stands
on the Cincinnati platform, to represent you
in the Senate. The election comes on—who
would the opposition in this county vote for—
the nominee of your party—No! But for B. H.
Hill, or Judge Andrews, or Judge Trippo.
Would cither of these men represent your
principles ? Bass, Gresham and Lockett arc
Democrats—they will vote for your friends—
therefore give them an undivided and cordial
support.
Beware of Wolves in Sheep’s Glo-
TIIING.
The Columbus Enquirer, Macon Messenger,
and National American have noticed in their
columns a document issued from the press of
“Polkinhorn” at Washington, in which it is
maintained that Mr. Buchanan sustains Walk
er, and the report has been circulated that the
document was prepared by, or at the instiga
tion of Gov. Cobb. YVe refer to thfe matter
to say that we are authorized to deny any
knowledge or rcsponsibilty on the part of the
administration of the getting up or publication
of this document. If, then, the administration
has had nothing to do with this manifesto, and
as it is mailed, in almost every instance, to the
opposition press, it becomes a question of some
interest to know who begot the bantling.—
Cannot Vespasian Ellis, the Editor of the
late Know Nothing Organ tell us something
about it ? We think it is too transparent to
impose upon the most credulous.
Lookout for Bogus Tickets!
There are bogus tickets abroad—a friend has
seen one beaded Democratic Ticket with Drown

Bailey and Bass.
Another with Hardeman's name in place of one
of the Democratic Representatives. So be careful
to read your ticket, aud see that all is right. Wc
shall send no ticket from this office except the reg
ularly nominated Democratic ticket, thus:
BROWN for Governor,
BAILEY for Congress,
BASS for Senator,
GRESHAM > _
LOCKETT ) Hepresentativpa.
Vote the full Ticket.
Dont split your Ticket on Monday, Demo
crats of Bibb, Remember you are voting for
a principle, not fora man. If you have a
friend in the opposifion who has done you a fa
vor. whom you respect and admire, repay him
in some other way, but don’t split your ticket
—vote for your own candidates. They are
able men, true men, and good men. Give
them a cordial support. The cry two years
ngo was, No Quarter to Democrats.” Re
collect the principal election two years ago—
not one Democrat left in office—Mayor, Alder

False Reports--Read!
A report lias been circulated by the opposi
tion press, originating in the Dahlonega Sig
nal, that Judge Brown had caused the names
of all persons in Lumpkin county, who could
not pay tlicir tax, to be thrown out of tbe Jury
Box. aiul upon this statement tbe cry is raised
that Judge Brown is the enemy of the poor
man. Now we are pleased to be able to state,
on the authority of Judge Brown himself, that
there is not a word of truth in the whole story,
that it is false from the beginning to the end.
Judge Brown the enemy of the poor man,
indeed. Go to his neighbors in Cherokee,
those who know him best, of both parties, and
they will tell you, that his purse is always open
to honoi-t poverty—that he is the friend of the
widow and of the orphan, and if the last class
could speak through the ballot box—bis ma
jority would be countless as “leaves on the
trees.”
Judge Brown the enemy of tho poor man!
YVby he sprang from the loins of honest pov
erty—he was born poor, raised poor; hoed and
ploughed and split rails, and drove a cart, to
make money to get him an education, and
qualify him to be the next Governor of Geor
gia—and one of his favorite measures which he
proposes to urge upon the next Legislature, is
to provide the ways and means for every child
in this great State of ours, to receive, free of
expense, and without any increase of tax, a
good and thorough English education, Then
let the poor man vote for Brown—he is his
friend and well wisher—having been raised in
poverty, he knows how to sympathise with his
distress, and will do all in his power .to allevi
ate and relieve him.
Be just before you are Generous!
Is a maxim which holds good in politics as
well as in morals. Let’s apply the maxim to
your case friend Democrat, who desires to vote
for Stubbs, or Fitzgerald, or Hardeman. Your
friends (perhaps you were in the Conven
tion) nominated Bass, Gresham and Locket, as
sound and true men, eminently fit and capa
ble to mnintain the honor and interest of Bibb
county in the next Legislature. Are they not
all good men? Then vote for them—Ah! but
say you, one vote wont make any difference.
True, in this election it may not, but the prin
ciple we look to: is it right to desert your
friend and sustain a political adversary—we
think not—and we hope if there be any Dem
ocrats in Bibb county, who have for a moment
thought of voting for any one of the opposition,
let him from this moment resolve to support
the whole ticket.
A. II. Stephens and Joshua Hill in
TWIGGS.
Reports have reached this place of the meet
ing in Twiggs, on YY’edncsday last. Our in
formant says that “Little Aleck” literally
wore Josh into a frazzel—tore him all to pieces,
and there was not enough of the portly, dig
nified and gentlemanly candidate of the oppo
sition left to make a grease spot. This is no
doubt true, for the result could not be other
wise. In the first place Mr. Stephens has the
right side, in the next place, he is not a mere
politician going over the country telling the
people how this man voted last year ,and that
man the year before that, or what this man
said in a speech here, or another there, but he
grapples the great question of the day with
the strong arm of an intellectual giant, as he is,
and discusses and analyzes and elucidates
principles and great party organizations with
that comprehensiveness and expansion of view
which agreat and philosophic Statesman should
treat a subject.
This is not Sir. Hill’s forte—he is not a states
man—he is not a profound lawyer—he has no
experience, and as a matter of course could not
match Mr. A. H. Stephens in a debate. Mr.
Hill is a gentleman of courteous manners, fair
abilities and high character; but be must, and
should have known, that his opponent was an
intellectual Colossus—an American Statesman,
who has won his honors not alone by his pow
er with the masses, but in many a fierce and
bitter conflict with the ablest men in the Con
gress of the Republic. Mr. Stephens is one of
marked men of this era.
Kir. Stubbs and the Messenger.
“Mr. Stubb3 was born and reared on our
soil.” “Vel vot of it” he could’nt help it.
“He relieved and redeemed our County-
Treasury from long continued blundcrings.”
He did, eh ! we thought that it was the wise
and judicious policy ofMaj. Smith, N. C. Mun-
roe, Elisha Davis, H. G. Latnar, and other Jus
tices of the Inferior Court, but it seems that the
County Attorney passed all the orders and did
all the business. There is such a thing as
bragging too high, Mr. Messenger!
When the Messenger says that Mr. Stubbs
has ever been uncontaminatcd with the rotten
ness of the present political dynasty, we sup
pose our neighbor means that he never (as we
understand he did not) joined a Know Nothing
Lodge. High praise to Mr. Stubbs for that.
Glad he was’nt contaminated.
Insurance on the Central America.—
The report that the Board of Underwriters in

perienced men to investigate the causes of dis

dation. The protest of the officers of the ves
sel, made several days ngo, has been received
by the underwriters, and the insurances will
be paid over on the arrival of the bill of lading
and letter of advice, which will complete the
proof required by tho underwriters in their
terms of insurance.

The officers of the navy and marine corps at
Washington held a meeting on Friday to give
expression to tlicir sympathy for the untimely
death of Captain Herndon. A resolution of
condolence with his widow and daughter was
adopted, as also one for the erection of an ap
propriate monument to his memory at the Na
val Academy in Annapolis. It is proposed
that the ladies of America raise a fund for tho
widow of Captain Herndon, as a token of re
gard for his humane conduct in saving the
women and children on board of the Central
America.
Salt in tlie Bahamas.
There have been about 250,000 bushel of
salt raked at Inagua up to the first of August.
They have had rain, which will put the rak
ing back about three weeks. At Rum Cay
raking had just c intnenccd. Accounts from
Mathew Town, to the 29th of August, state
that the Company alone hud raked in the ag
gregate about 35,000 bushels of 6alt, 6ome of
which had been sold at JOc. per bushel. The
weather continued fine, and there was still
plenty of salt in the pans, which unfortunately
could not be gathered in on account of the
scarcity of laborers. Salt season of the Turks
Islands had been highly favorable. Several
hundred thousand bushels of salt had been
shipped t'roin the various parts of that colony,
ami about 500,000 bushels were still on hand,
with the quantity constantly increasing.—

A Picture from History.
In the room arranged for the Agricultural
j Committee in the South YY'ing of the Capitol
at YY’ashington, may be seen in Fresco, beauti
ful representations by an Italian Artist of the
mode of ploughing and the implements in use
among tbe Romans, and also the manner
farm culture of our Revolutionary fathers.
The gifted artist has most happily blended
in this glorious work of modern art a lesson
and example for the admiration of the politi
cian as well as the planter.
He has judiciously taken for his illustration
the story from history, when, on a bright
spring morning a celebrated Roman is engaged
in ploughing over his farm lying in a smiling
valley in Italy. In the midst of his rural
pursuits he is waited upon by a deputation of
Roman Senators, with the information that his
countrymen are beseiged by theY r olsci and
the iEqui, and that the Roman Senate ask
him to take tbe lead of the army and goto
their rescue. Quitting his plough with regret
Cincinnatus repaired to the field of battle, con
quered the enemy, and returned to Rome in
triumph. This is one picture.
The other represents YYasbington just be
fore the Revolution, in his wheat fields, super
intending the harvest, surrounded by his faini
ly aud servants, busily engaged in the work
of the day.
This is a glorious picture in which by the
noble art of painting is conveyed to the mind’i
eye, the modern improvements in agriculture,
and the most striking and ennobling exam
pies of disinterested patriotism. Quite recent
ly on the Eastern slope of the Blue Ridge in
our own noble State, might have been 6een
on a balmy morning in June last, a noble
Georgian at work on his farm in Cherokee,
binding up the rich harvest of wheat, the re
8ult in part of his own labor, care and indus
try. Yes, people of Georgia, like the noble
Roman of old, like the Father of his Country
—when the Democracy of Georgia called upon
JOSEPH E. BROYVN to come to the rescue
and take tlicir standard and bear it in the pres
ent campaign as the candidate for Governor,
the news found him at work in his wheat field
The farmer’s candidate he is—and like Cincin
natus of old, he has repaired to the battle field
—lie has conquered the enemy, and on the
fourth day of November next, he will re
turn to Milledgeville to take the oath which
is required of the Governor of Georgia, amid
the loud acclammation and plaudits of an ad
miring multitude.
Hon. Joseph E. Brown
Reached this place Saturday last, and stop
ped for a short time at the Brown House. He
has spoken to large crowds at Americns and
Albany.
YVhile speaking at Americus he was ques
tioned by various gentlemen of the opposition
during his speech. He answered them in such
a satisfactory manner that it is supposed that
at least two of them will give him their cheer
ful support. At Albany a splendid dinner was
prepared—the table was richly decorated with
evergreen arches and loaded with the costliest
and most substantial viands. All honor to the
Dougherty Ladies.
Mr. Toombs was at Albany, and spoke as
only he can speak. A committee from Thom-
asville came up for him to fill an appointment
in that place the next day, Saturday, and he
started, having to ride by private conveyance
the whole night. This is the way to work
Democrats all come to the polls. If you
have a sick neighbor, see that he is brought to
the polls. Carriages will be provided at the
Court House for the use of those who are un
able to walk. Let no one stay at home.
“ Give one day to your country.” Demo
crats go to the polls—vote early, and then see
that all your friends vote. One ballot may
elect your candidate. One vote made Marcus
Morton Governor of Massachusetts. Then
work—work—work—from early morn till the
polls are closed and the battle is won.
An Incident.
"While Judge Brown was speaking at Mari
etta, a friend interrupted him by saying that
Buchanan had recalled YValker. YVhereupon
there was great rejoicing among the Demo
crats, and many long faces among the opposi
tion. After the meeting was over the Anti-
Kansasitcs gathered in the streets in knots,
and report says cursed and swore terribly be
cause Old Buck had re-called YValker, saying
“it was done just to keep Ben Hill from beat
ing Joe Brown.”
Conversion.
At the Democratic meeting in Perry, on
Tuesday last, Alfred Nelson, hitherto a strong
member of the opposition spoke out and said
he should vote for Judge Brown. Push on
the column.
And Still they Como.
At the meeting in Greensboro, when Judge
Brown spoke, that veteran YVhig and distin
guished Georgian, Hon. Thomas Stocks, pre
sided. He supports Judge Brown waruily, as
many others of the opposition in old Green
will do. Roll on the ball.
“Look out for Foreign Y’oters in the 3d Dis
trict," is the heading of a communication in
the Columbus Enquirer, signed X. No danger
Mr. X—unless your own pcoplo bring them
in. YY r e have Democrats enough in the 3d, to
gether with independent voters, who will re
fuse to support Mr. Trippe, who voted for
Fuller, who voted for Pennington, who voted
for Frcemont—to elect our gallant and patri
otic Bailey.
All Right.
Hon. R. P. Trippe made a speech at the
Court House on Tuesday. No harm doue.
•The American party lias seen its darkest
days,” says our neighbor of the Messenger. It
means, we suppose, that it has gone stone
blind, wrapped in eternal night.
Auouhta, Oct. 1.—The Banks of this city

The Democracy at Concert Hall.
SPEECHES OF COL. BAILY AND MR. TOOMBS.
These gentlemen addressed a large assem
blage at Coucert Hall on Thursday, lion, A.
H. Chappell presided, and in a short and grace
ful address introduced to the audience Hon. D.
J. Bailey, the Democratic candidate for Con
gress in the 3d District. Col. Bailey, spoke
for about an hour and a half upon the topics
of the day. His argument upon the Kansas
question was clear, eloquent,forcible aud unan
swerable. His review of Mr. Trippe’s vote
for Fuller, who had said lie would vote to re
store the Missouri restriction, and of his sup
port of Collum for Clerk of the House will
not be forgotten by those who had the good
fortune to hear it. YY’e think the Democracy
of Bibb left the Hall with a determination not
to send any more supporters of Fuller and
Collum to YYasbington to represent them.
On the conclusion of Col. Bailey’s address,
in auswer to a prolonged call the Hon. Robert
Toombs ascended the stand.
YVe do not deal in the language of panegy
ric—we speak the earnest truth when we say
that wc are utterly unable to do justice to the
great effort of our noble Senator. YVe wish
the collected suffrage of Georgia could have
heard this magnificent speech. YYe cannot de
scribe it, nor its telling effects upon the audi
cncc, but tho loud and long liuzzas which
greeted the orator as ever and anon he roused
them with his fervid and glowing eloquence, or
electrified them with his wit, or excited them
by his cutting sarcasm or convinced them with
his luminous, massive, and irresistible argu
ment, spoke a nobler tribute to his great in
tellectual power than our weak pen can il
lustrate. The people were delighted, and
on every side and from every one who was
so fortunate as to hear, the verdict was uni
versal that it was a specimen perfect in its kind
of popular oratory.
Mr, Toombs left for Albany Friday morn
ing, and wc almost envy our Dougherty friends
the rich treat in store for them.
The Meeting and Barbecue at
PERRY.
On this occasion our noble and gallant can
didate for Governor spoke for three hours and
a half to one of the largest, most intelligent
and attentive audiences we have ever seen as
sembled in the State. YVe have heard Judge
Brown often, but at Perry he excelled himself.
His friends were delighted—his political ene
mies acknowledged that he gave evidence of a
clear, forcible and analytic mind, and many
went off fully impressed that Judge Brown
could very well say “he would meet any of
the Champions of the so-called American par.
ty in debate. Our opinion of the speech can
be giveu in a few words—we do not recollect
ever to have heard a better one anywhere. Af
ter Judge Brown concluded, YV. K. deGraffeu-
reid, Esq., addressed the audience for a few
minutes, exhorting them to harmonious and
uniied action. Dinner was then served—and
such a dinner. Pyramids of cake—confec
tions, and pastry were strewed upon the
table in the richest profusion. An abundance
and variety of meats and vegetables covered
the tables, but the most cheering sight of all,
was to sec the stately matrons and lovely (for
they were all pretty,) daughters of Houston
crowding up to the tables and serving out the
edibles to their fathers, husbands, sweethearts
and brothers. YVe shall long remember the
Houston Barbecue. Everything was conduct
ed in the most perfect order and decorum,
and great credit is due the Committee who
conducted and arranged the affair. Long
live the Democracy of Houston! A thousand
cheers for the noble matrons and bright-eyed
daughters of that glorious county !
Good News from Good Authority.
YY’c have to-day seen a letter from a gentle
man in the up-country, who is, in our opinion,
the best calculator in regard to Election results
in the State. He writes that Brown will gain
largely in all the country west of the Chatta
hoochee over Buchanan’s vote of last Novem
ber. “In some of the counties whole neigh
borhoods are going over to Brown.” The
gentleman we refer to, in an estimate which
he mtide, came within three hundred votes of
Buchanan’s majority in the Fifth and Sixth
Districts, over Fillmore. Farewell Mr. Hill.
YValk into the Governor’s Office Mr. Brown.
So say the people of Georgia.
Old Virginia in the Field.
Banks, of the South Side Democrat, is in Wash
ing “ fixing up” for the Clerkship ot the House of
Representatives, and R. B. Hackney, of Virginia,
wants to be Door-Keeper. Could’nt the Old Do
minion furnish a candidate for Speaker, Sergeant-
at-Arms, Postmaster and Librarian. We think
Old Virginia has been treated very badly. With a
Cabinet Officer—Mason, Minister to France—Dan
iel, to Sardinia—Bedinger, to Denmark—Meade to
Brazil—Scott, Consul at Rio, and Tucker at Liver
pool, with several other Consulships, and about
every fifth man in Washington in the Departments,
besides Governors, Judges and other Territorial
Officers, she still cries for more, and Dr. Tnto, by
last advices, has been given the sixth Auditorship.
Can not other offices be created that tho “ mother
of heroes and statesmen” can get her share.
Hear a. Neutral.
The correspondent of tbe Augusta Dispatch,
writing from Gwinnett county, says—
Politics arc running very high this week.—
It is conceded in this county, by tho Ameri
cans, that Judge Brown will be elected over
Hili.. Buchanan’s letter has settled a great
many floating votes in favor of Brown. It is
reported at tho corners to-day that several of
our most influential Americans in this county,
arc going for Brown since Buchanan’s letter
came out.
From all the indications now visible, this
county will poll a larger voto for the Democrat
ic nominee than it ever has done.
Trade, Dry Goods, Millinory,
WOMEN.
Trade is brisk, notwithstanding the tightness
in thcmoncy market. Our Dry Goods and Mil
linery Stores arc thronged with lovely women,
laying up stores, and preparing the ammuni
tion for the Fall and Winter campaign. YY’c
shall have a gay- season here and in Milledge
ville. YVe notice the names of very many
handsome, intelligent and honorable young
men among the list of candidates for Legisla
tive honors, and no doubt they will be eager
to unite the business of matrimony with the
Legislative duties.
YVe noticed a young lady in the streets yes
terday pretty enough to attract the Capitol from
Milledgeville to Macon, If it’s understood that
she is to remain in Macon during the winter,
wc have no doubt that there will he a majority
of the unmarried members in session here
while she stays. YY’e would like to tell who
she is, but ask any youug man who was at the
Lanier House yesterday about 12 M., and lie
can give you her name. YY’c saw her—wc

again!
Democrats to the Rescuo!
Let Bibb county be a Democratic unit—let
all our men be elected. If we beat them now
they are done forever, and we shall have no

Superintendents in the Union and richly deserves
this mark of esteem and confidence. We are glad
lie does not leave us. but only changes from the

ADDRESS OF X. C. MONROE.
Mr. Foote:—It is with unfeigned pleasure,
that the committee appointed by a resolution
of the Board of Directors of the Macon &•
YVestern Ra^I Road Company, to whom your
resignation as Supreintendant of their road
was communicated in July last, to prepare
some suitable memento of their high apprecia
tion of your valuable sevices, now tender for
your acceptance, the testimonial before us—
trusting it may not be deemed unworthy of its
intended object and may be held by you as a
memorial of our long and pleasant, personal
and official associations.
YY’ith this expression of our feelings we
might regard the duty assigned us as closed,
but the committee canuot forego the opportu
nity presented us by this interview to refer
in more specific terms to the services to which
the present occasion refers. Looking to our
official records of the working of this impor
tant link in the great chain of Internal Im
provement which has wedded our seaport city
withtheGrcat YVest,ofwhich Georgia is so just
ly proud and which you have had so important a
share in nurturing and bringing to its present
state of perfection. YVe feel it due to more
than half a million of our fellow beings of every
age and sex, who by your judicious care and
watchfulness, have been safely transported to
their several destinations over our road, that
we should express for them the thankfulness
due to your regard for their safety, as well as
that of the vigilant and energetic President
who has faithfully labored as your co-worker
in watching over the important interest res
pectively confided to your judgement and di
rection—nor can wc do justice to our feelings
without l eferring to the very few accidents
and inconsiderable loss of life which has oc
curred on our road, due alike to your care and
the judicious selection of officers subordinate
to your superintending. The committee re
fer to this with no ordinary gratification, be
cause it is but iu response to the general sen
timent of the country, patronizing our road,
and we feel confident in saying, that what
very few fatal accidents have occurred have
been mostly Providential and such as could
not have been obviated by any vigliance on
the part of the officers of the company.
YY’e should not justly represent the feelings
of the Stockholders, whose servants we are,
were we not to refer also to the large business
so safely conducted during the period before
referred to, embracing earnings of more than
two and a half millions of dollars, while the
loss of property by accident or detention have
been so inconsiderable as scarcely to merit
notice.
In taking our leave of you on this occasion,
we beg to tender you, both for ourselves and
the President and Board of Directors we re
present, our earnest wishes that yon may en
joy a long and agreeable life aud much per
sonal happiness in the extended sphere of use
fulness to which you have been called.
MR. FOOTE'S REPLY.
Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Com
mittee :—It is with no ordinary embaraesment
that I now stand here to receive this friendly
mark of your esteem.
To have so conducted the affairs of the com
pany which I have served, as to elicit the ap
proval of its Directors, is in itself, an ample re
ward for the toil and anxiety incident to the
position which I have occupied.
But whence that approbation finds expres
sion in the rich offering now before me, I
most be excused if I find no words adequate to
convey to you the deep emotions of my heart.
Gentlemen, you have becu pleased to allude
in very flattering, but I fear undeserved terms,
to the success which has attended the manage
ment of the Macon & YY’estern Rail Road dur
ing my connection with it as superintendent.
Not all the praise belongs to me. I should be
doing injustico to my own sense of right, as
well as to my fellow laborers in the service of
the company, did I not take this occasion to
acknowledge my indebtedness to them for
their efficient aid. and bear a willing and grate
ful testimony to the unfaltering zeal and fidel
ity to its interests which lias so largely con
tributed to whatever is meritorious iu the re
sults of our joint labors.
And, sir, it is proper and becoming in me
that I should also acknowledge here, my mani
fold obligations to the President and Direc
tors of the Company for their long continued
confidence and unwavering support.
From the commencement of your Road, now
nearly twelve years ago, to its present state
of maturity, our relations, both socially and
officially, have been those of uninterrupted
kindness and forbearance on your part, and I
trust, of grateful rcmemberance on my own
My short comings have been looked upon
with an indulgent eye, while my more sue
cessful endeavors have received lhat encour
aging commendation which ever stimulates
to renewed effort.
For your assurances- of friendly interest in
my welfare, I return my most heartfelt thanks,
and beg you will accept, personally, my best
wishes for the future health and happiness of
yourselves and families and my earnest hope
for the success and enduring prosperity of the
company you represent.
I accept, gentlemen, with mingled emotion
of tlianklulness and pride the magnificent pre
sent now tendered me, and if in after life I
shall fondly and proudly treasure it as a gift
of priceless value ,it will be as a token rather
of your generosity than my own merit.
