This much by way of introduction to

resentations of the government
at Washington. Having been honored
by that body with the post of chairman
of the committee which reported the
third resolution, I think it proper to do
so over my own name. Whether the
falsehoods of the Union newspaper are
the results of its diffidence to truth or
its stupidity, is hard to deleitnine In
cither even: the Georgia Democracy
ought not to stand in the false position
the editor of that paper has sought to
place them in, and the truth shall he
told, though the result be to show the
people that Mr. Buchanan’s Governor of
Kansas, and his organ editor, are wor
thy of each other.
The wrong complained of by the Geor
gia Democratic Convention is, that the
inaugural address of Gov. Walker vio
lates the Kansas act. That portion which
it violates is in these words. 'It being
the true intent and main!;/ cj this act not
to legislate slavery into said Territory,
nor to exclude it therefrom, hut to leave
the people thereof perfectly free to form
and regulate their domestic institutions
in their oion way, subject only to the
Constitution of the United States' I
do not quote with the act before me, hut
I think you will, by reference to the law,
find I have stated it exactly as it is writ
ten.
The Convention stated, also, precisely
wherein this inaugural was a violation
of the Kansas act, to wit: ‘in prescribing
the terms on which Congress should ad
mit Kansas into the Union, and in at-
teinping to dictate tlie submission of
their Constituf’on for ratification, and to
what class of persons;’ aud further, *in
expressing his official opinion that Kan-
would become a free State, and in pre
senting nrgumeuts to support that side
ef the question.’ That was the charge
and these the specifications. Their truth,
no man iti the Convention denied. The
very small opposition that existed in the
Convention, to the report of the com
mittee of twenty four, arose entirely out
of the last clause of the third resolution,
demanding the recall of Gov. Walker.
Mr. Fielder, of Polk, and Judge Wright,
of Floyd, introduced substitutes. The
first declared the inaugural was ‘regard
ed as infringing on the doctrine of non
intervention,’the-last declared it was‘a
direct and palpable violation of the cov
enant of the Kansas and Nebraska act
and of the Cincinnati platform,’ and fur
ther, if it did not ‘involve his (Walker’s)
removal, calls for the unqualified disap
probation of the President.’ Both these
substitutes were silent on tbe point of
demanding his recall, though Judge
Wright's came as near to it as I have
shown. On Judge Wright’s substitute
tbe test vote was had, and the test was
whether the Convention would content
itself with an emphatic condemnation of
the inaugural, or make au issue with
Mr. Buchanan ou the point of Gov. Wal
ker’s removal. This construction was
given to the third resolution by its oppo
nents to wit: that if Mr. Buchanan re
fused to remove Walker, we wonld be
placed in antagonism to him, and it was
accepted by its friends as leading ine
vitably to that state of things. With
this construction charged and admitted
principle (that the Constitution of Kan
sas must come from the people of Kan
sas) seems to think that the Constitu
tion of Kansas ought not to be submit
ted to a direct vote of the people in their
primary capacity.’ Now, there is not a
word of truth in either of these state
ments, and can any one believe the edi- 1
tor of the Union is so stupid as not to
have known ho was not telling the truth
when he penned them ? The Conven
tion did not assail Gov. Walkei because
he advocated the submission of the Con
stitution to a direct vote of the people.
Every member of the Convention wbo
expressed any opinion on tbe point, said
that the Convention iu Kansas who
framed the Constitution had a peifecl
right to submit it or not, as they pleased
—if they submitted it, then to what
class of persons they pleased, and that
this was the clear meaning of the Kan
sas act, when it declared the people ot
the Territory should be left ‘perfectly
free’ to manage their own afi'airs. But
can it be said that tbe people of Kansas
are left perfectly free to do as they please
when Governor Walker tells them he is
authorized by Mr. Buchanan to say if
they make their Constitution like Geor
gia did, without submitting it to tbe
people, or if they dare to prescribe any
class of voters to decide on it, other than
the one he dictates, that Congress will
and ought to reject their application to
be admitted into the Union ? And futb-
er, in bis Topeka speech he threatens,
in any of these events, to join ihe Black
Republicans against them. Tbe editor
of the Union asks: ‘Will Mr. Buchanan
in any event take the Abolition side of
the question V Gov. Walker assumes
that Mr. Buchanan will—I quote his
words from the Topeka speech . ‘That
Constitution (of Kansas) they will or
they will not submit to the vote of tiie
majority of the then actual resident set
tlers of Kansas. If they do not thus sub-
mit.it, I will join you fellow citizens,
(meaning tbe Abolitionists then atld-
there assembled) in lawful opposition to
their course. And I cannot doubt gen
tlemen, that one much higher than I,
the Chief Magistrate of the Union, will
join you in opposition.’ Here then, is
one event in which the President will
take the Abolition side of the question ;
his satrap, Walker, being the witness.
This minion is careful to sav he will join
the Abolitionists in Sawlul opposition—
that is, he will go no futher than to
vote with them; voting opposition be
ing undoubtedly. But be makes no such
qualification with regard to Mr. Buch
anan, and for aught he says, Mr. Buch
anan stands pledged by him for Sharp’s
rifles, house burning and all. Mark well,
freemen of Georgia, upon what provoca
tion Walker says he and his master will
join tbe Abolitionists against your friends
in Kansas. It is this: if they dare to
make their Constitution like you ma4e
yours.
With this black record of rank and
disgraceful treasons staring him in the
face,-we can well understand bow the
administration editor is driven to use his
venal pen, in perverting and misrepre
senting the principles of the Georgia
a case on his master’s man in Kansas
so clear that even an organ wiH not
risk a denial, he neither affirms nor de
nies; distance so confuses bis perceptions
ihat he cannot assume to be a judge of
Walker’s conduct ‘in a matter so nice.’
Is it no argument in favor of a tree State i
to say that the chilling blasts which j
sweep over Kansas reduce tlie average
range of the thermometer nearly as low
as in New England? Strange blasts those,
which blow np to the Missouri line and
stop.. Kansas lies broadside to Missouri;
the tier of counties adjoining Kansas are
tlie strongest pro-slavery counties in the
State; every representative body that
has been yet elected in Kansas was pro
slavery by a large majority; and yet
Governor Walker takes it for granted
that under his rule shell a thing will
never happen again, and coolly tells
our enemies that they ought to provide
for giving up runaway slaves when Kan
sas becomes a free State—offering to us
at the same time the cinsolatory
boon of a slave State in the Indian Ter
ritory, South of Kansas, whenever the
General Government shall violate its
plighted faith by taking it from its pres
ent owners. Tbe organ can see nothing
improper in this, nothing unjust, noth
ing violative of the Kansas act—it is all
right, or at least too nice to he judged
of at a distance. Verily, it would he
letter for one’s self-respect to he a hew
er of wood, than to be the editor of a
government organ.
But enough of the oigan and its edi
torials. I must ask pardon of your rea
ders for wasting so much time on such
a tissue of falsehoods aud fallacies. They
are almost beneath coutempt, and can
deceive no ore who is not already a trai
tor to his country and willing to be de
ceived. lie is a fit and proper organ
for Mi. Buchanan,if he retains Walker—
in that case his organ is worthy of him,
and he is worthy of his organ. In that
event, history, “with her peu of iron
and her tablets of brass,” though not
condescending to mention the organ,
will write down the master in the same
list with Arnold.
It gives me no pleasure to contemplate
such a future. I would not have voted
in the Convention for any resolution
censuring Mr. Buchanan. He then had
not had time to put himself right, and I
did not confide in the newspaper rumors,
that he had sanctioned the inaugural
before Walker went to Kansas. It was

Opening of the Campaign.—
The Discussion at Newnan.
Meeting of Jndge Brown
and Mr. Hill.
We had the pleasure of attending the
meeting at Newnan on Tuesday, between
the two candidates for Governor, and
the two candidates for Congress, in this
District. The Know Nothings had pre
dicted that when Jndge Brown should
come in contact with their ‘mighty Ben
Hill’ he would incontinently get scared,
and that Ilill would thereupon proceed
hodiaciously to swallow him. Our readers
can well imagine then our disappoint
ment, that this wonderful feat was not
performed—and when we found that a
small portion of Judge Brown was still
left, after tbe feeble attempt at demoli
tion by Hill. We congratulate the couu-
try that the man who said, last year, to
hare made his meals in one day of Ste
pbens, Toombs aud Gartreli, has not
done up Brown so. We are thankful
to Mr. Hill for his forbearance. He has
probably become less of a ‘man-eater’
since last year.
The meeting al Newnan was one of
the most orderly and interesting we have
ever seen. The agreement about the
terms of the discussion was left to two
Committees of the respective parties—
Judge Brown having expressed to his
friends his desiro, that tdcre should be
fair and honorable terms agreed on.—
The Committees arranged them as fol
lows : Judge Brown should open the dis
enssion with a speech an hour long—Mr.
Ilill to follow iu an hour and a half—
Judge Brown to reply in a halt hour—
Col. Tidwell to speak an hour, and Col.
Gaitrell an hour.
Under this mutually satisfactory ar
rangement, Judge Brown opened the de
bate, in a calm, dispassionate and lucid
review of the present position of the
Democratic party and its title to the
confidence and support of the Southern
people.

and whom will join? This question has
been pressed by some who would have

For myself I will join no one—I will go
no where. The Democracy of Georgia,
by a vote of mors than twelve to one,
have adopted sound southern principles,
and we have a candidate who expresses
his cordial approval of them. Let those

did not abandon their party or their

Power or the Sun.—A distinguished
chemist in a recent lecture, while showing
that all species of moving power bare their
origin in tbe rays of tbe sun, stated that
while the iron tubular railroad bridge over
the Mental straits in England, four hundred
feet long, bent np half an inch under tbe
heaviest pressure cf a train, it will bend np
an inch and a half from its nsnal horizontal
line when the sun shines upon it for some
hoars. He stated that the Banker Hill
monument is higher in the evening then in
tbe morning of a sunny day; the little sun
beams enter the pores of the stones like to
many wedges, Hiking it np.
showed it to be a dismembered wreck-
fit only fer the scorn and contempt of
mankind.
On the subject of Walker’s policy in
Kansas, Judge Brown took bold and
unequivocal ground. He condemned,
in unmeasured terms, his officious inter
vention—his impertinent threats and
false argument in favor of Kansas be
coming a free State. He approved of
the third Resolution of the Democralic
Convention, and said that be had confi
dence in the President, and was willing
to wait until he had full time to investi
gate, officially, Walker’s course—and
when be did, and it became evident to
every body that Buchanan participated
in, and approved of the abnoxious policy
of Walker, he should no longer sustain
him.
Anticipating Mr. Hill’s clamor about
Walker and Buchanan, he demanded of
that gentleman (granting all that was
allcdged of them be true) what remedv
could he propose to cure tbe ills of which
he complained ! Until he showed some
remedy, his complaints could not entitle
him to the confidence of any one.
Judge Brown was listened to with
profound attention by the large auditory.
Hardly a person moved during its de
livery. The honest, straight forward look
of his manly countenance charmed ev
erybody. The staunch old Democracy

.They tell me, dear father, each gem is
the sky
That sparkles at night is a star;
Bat why do they dwell ia those regions so
high.
And shcil their cold lustre so far?
I know that the son makes tbe bieeeeme to
spring;
That it gives to the flpw'rets their birth;
But wbat are the stars? ilo tbey nothing bat
fling
Their cold rays of light upon earth?’
.My child, it is said, that yon stars in the
sky
Are worlds that are fashioned like this.
Where the sonls of the good end the gentle
who die
Assemble together in bliss;
And the rays that they shed o'er the earth
is the light
Of Ilis glory whose throne ia above,
That tell ns, who dwell in these regions of
night.
How great is Ilis goodness and love.’
•Then, father, why still press your hand
to your brow,
Why still are your cheeks pale with care?
If nil that was gentle be dwelling there
• now,
Dear mother, I know, must be there.’
•Thou chidest me well,’ said tbe father,
with pain,
•Thy wisdom is greater by far.
We may mourn for the lost, but we should
not complain,
While we gaze on each beautiful star.’

Brown’s Retort on Hill—'Ben
Hill the Fast ManT
One of tbe happiest hits in the able
speech of Judge Brown at Newnan was
bis reply to Mr. Hill’s charge that Buch
anan was too slow a l’rcsidont for him.
The charge and the reply are accurate
indications of the character of the two
men, the one rash, reckless and impetu
ous iu bis statements and conduct—the
other grave dignified, and deliberate iu
everything. Judge. Brown impresses
you with the solidity of his mind and
character. Mr. Hill with his smartness,
his light manner and his inconsiderate
remarks.

mented upon tbe great responsibility
connected with all high official positions
and especially that of tho Ruler of so
vast a country as onm, and how neces
sary it was for the President to be fully
informed of all facts in every case where
he had to exercise his power—it was
necessary for a government never to act
with haste.
Mr. Hill in replying to this remark
of Judge Brown said he beleived in e
Fast Government, one that wonld net
quickly and with dispatch—that Buch
anan was too slow for him, rod be was
afraid Brown would make too slow a
Governor. i

Mr. Hill was evidently from his speech

There was once a clergyman in New
Hampshire, noted for his long sermons
and indolent habits—things irreconcila-

j ‘How is it,’ said a man to his neigh-

unanswerable argument, to impress the
truth on every mind. II s stern adhe
rence to truth prevents him from indulg
ing in the slightest sophistry.
Mr. Ilill followed Judge Brown in his
usual style—showing vast ability iu the
management of a hopelessly bad cause,
indulging in his dexterious sophistry to
deceive the people. Fortunately they un
derstand him so well that he does no
harm, and bis speeches consequently be
come pleasing exhibitions of ingenuity
without convincing a single man that
what he says, is so. Mr. Hill expressed
himself dreadfully sorry at Walker’s vi
olation of the Kansas Bill, which he
condemned aa‘dangeroas and anti-south
ern doctrine.’ One would have thought
he would have been glad of it. lie

way to rectify the present difficulty was
