The tariff of Mr. J. F. Cooper, of August
1st, 1854, was $3 50.
The tariff made by Executive order of
Gov. Johnson, of June 27th, 1856, on pig
iron of Georgia manufacture and produc
tion, was $2 50 per ton.
On 30th of June, 1858, under my ad
vice, the rates of a great many heavy com
modities, having much weight and but
little money in them, were reduced, many
to the amount of thirty three per cent.—
Stone coal was included in this reduction
—an article which I do not use in making
iron. Pig iron, nor any other kind of
iron, were included in this reduction, for
the reason alone that I was having pig
iron made.
On the 13th December last, the Legis
lature passed the following resolution,
viz:
44 That his excellency, the Governor of
this State, and the Superintendent of the
Western and Atlantic Railroad, be reques
ted to make such reduction on the present
rates of freight on Pig Iron, Bar Iron,
and all other kinds of Iron, which are or
may be manufactured in Georgia, as will
encourage the making of Georgia iron,
and the development of the immense min
eral wealth of the State, by encouraging
capitalists to e.mbark their capital in iron
business. Provided, that no iron shall at
any time be carried over the State Road
so low that the State will not receive a
reasonable profit by its transportation.”
A copy of this resolution (together with
others pertaining to the road,) was for
warded me soon after the close of the Leg
islature. The one in relation to reduction
on iron I did nothing with until Governor
Brown came to Atlanta in January. I
then said to the Govornor, that, being
connected myself with the making of iron,
and he not interested, I preferred to have
nothing to do with the reduction, but that
he should make such reduction as he tho’t
proper. He then directed Mr. E. B. Walk
er, the Master of Transportation, to make
the reduction of thirty-three-and-a-third
per cent on all iron of Georgia manufac
ture, conforming to the reduction which
had been already made on coal and many
other heavy but cheap commodities: this
he did, and it was published over my of
ficial signature, and sent to every agent
on the road. Each manufacturer of iron
in Georgia pays just what I do, nothing
more, nothing less; and so far as I am
personally interested, would not be in-
Comspondenee.

-1a I put out The intention was probably to
bum the ropes. Failing in this, the knife
was resorted to. The guys, of course,
dropped into the river, but were immedi
ately replaced.
About ten minutes before 5, M. Blondin
accompanied by Justis Spertzell, ofthia
city, and two others, drove uptothestand
in a carriage. M. Blondin stood up on the
seat, shackled from head to foot In the
carriage was the cooking stove and culi
nary utensils, and Mr. Spertzell carried a
basket, in which were the eggs, butter
flour, pepper and sail ftc, which were to
be used in preparing the omelet
Blondin immediately proceeded to the
end of the rope and commenced his prep,
arations for the start He was dressed as
on former occasions except the shackles.
These consisted of a tin collar round bis
neck, bracelets of the same round his
i wrists and ankles, and from the collar to
Abate of Governor Brown.
Many of the 44 Opposition” journals, re
marks the Macon Telegraph, for nearly
two years, have been assailing the person
al integrity of Gov. Brown, as no Gover-
j nor of Georgia was ever assailed before;
! and such is the bitter malevolence of these

Course of one article of arraignment in

of the Opposition, the Governor of this

corruption and bargaining, and is said to

decision to go to the extent that it is the
duty of Congress to Legislate for the pro
tection of slavery in the Territories ? If
so, will you adopt this as a part of your
political platform, and pledge your influ
ence to maintain this doctrine ?
Cassville, Ga., Sept 10th, 1859.
Gentlemen : Yours of the 6th inst was
received on yesterday evening on my re
turn home, and I now reply to it. Yonr
letter contains two questions, propounded
to Governor Brown and myself,which you
desire answered through the Casscille
Standard.
Your first question is in the following
words : 44 Will you or either of you vote
for Stephen A. Douglas for President of
the United States if he receives the nomi
nation at the Charleston Convention in
1860?”
I answer, emphatically, I will not!
prefer an open enemy to a crafty, deceit
ful, treacherous friend. I think Mr.
Douglas’ 44 Squatter Sovereignty” and
“ unfriendly legislation” by a Territorial
legislature, “is worse,” in the language
of that great Statesman, John C. Calhoun,
44 than the Wilmot proviso.”
Your second question is in these words,
44 do you interpret the Dred Scott decis
ion to go to the extent that it is the duty
of Congress to legislate for the protection
of Slavery in the Territories? If so, will
you adopt this as a part of your politi
cal platform and pledge your influence to
maintain this doctrine?”
I have the decision of the Supreme court
in the Dred Scott case, before me. The
Court show very clearly that there is no
44 difference between property in a slave
and other property and they state that
the right of property in a slave is distinct-
such is the extremity of rancor with which
the Governor is pursued by those men,—
that even the most unquestionable acts of
official fidelity arc perverted into new
grounds of assault and vilification. Thus
we see that even in paying moncj into
the Treasury from the State Road he has
been by turns assailed with every possible
disgraceful and contradictory allegation.
In the whole course of our observation, we
never knew a Governor of a State so re-
_ ‘ morselessly hounded and pursued with
systematic detraction and calumny, not
only in the utter absence of any just foun
dation for the charges, but as we believe,
in the well settled conviction of the mass
of opponents themselves, that the whole
study of Gov. Brown has been to adminis
ter the duties of his office with patriotic
fidelity.
It is a spectacle which ought to make
angels weep and men ashamed. It’s a dis
grace to Georgia that politicians cannot
canvassThis State decently and without
charging the Chief Magistrate with crimes
and misdemeanors which, if they could be
proved, would consign him to the Peni
tentiary.
And who is it that they abuse in this
way ? A man of the simplest and most
frugal habits and tastes- a professing Chris
tian, and one known to be remarkably
punctillious in the discharge of his religi
ous duties. A man who at every step of
life, from the humblest boyhood, has mar- j
of tin, tech link about three inches long,
and chains of the same material were fas
tened to the ankles and wrists. With
these upon his person and his balancing
pole in his hands, he started off for the
Canada side. After proceeding probablr
a hundred yards he stopped, stood upon
his head and went through with the same
tight rope performances which we noticed
last week. He reached the Canada shore
in seventeen minutes from the time he left
the American side.
While he was crossing on the rope, the
carriage containing the stove and fix
tures was driven round by the Suspension
Bridge to the other end of the rope. This
stove was of Russian Iron, the same ma
terial as the best stove pipes arc made of.
It weighed, with fixtures, 50 pounds. It
was two feet six inches long. Eighteen
inches wide and about 20 inches high.—
It had one length of ordinary stove pipe,
with two oven doors and a hole in the top
of it. The fixtures consisted of three tin
plates, one tin dish with three chains fas
tened to it This was to be used in pass
ing down the omelets. There was also a
small hand bellows and a large spirit lamp.
—Two pieces of wood about ten feet in
length were passed through the feet of the
stove, which were to be used to support
it upon the rope and guys. Two leather
straps were fastened on either end of the
stove intended to hold it upon Blondin’*
back.
About five minutes past six o’clock, M.
Blondin, appeared upon the Canada end of
the rope. He was dressed as a French
cook, ar.d wore the clothing of the chit 1
cook at the International Hotel. This con
sisted of a white cap, white jacket and
apron. Soon after appearing on the other
end of the rope, he fastened the stove to
■-; his back, and, with his balancing pole,
ked his career bv a stern and unbending j started for the American side, lie walk-
integrity of character—a lawyer without j e«l along quite smartly until he had crosv
blcmish—a Judge against whom calumny ed the centre of the rope, when he paused
never breathed a slander—a Governor who J and laid down his balancing pole, lie next
has manifested a singleness of purpose to ! sat down upon the rope and unfastened
serve the State—a faithful vigilance over j the stove. He now rose to his feet, and
her pecuniary interests which has won | having fastened the stove to the main rope
him the title’ of honest, and long divided j by means of cords, got over the stove to
even the Opposition itself on the policy of the other side, and sat down, facing the
American shore. The wind was blowing
o m _ opposing bis re-election! Such injustice
ly affirmed in the Constitution. The right j to such a man, will reap its reward from a J vel T fresh, and he had great difficult} in
to traffic in il like an ordinary article of ‘
merchandise and property, was guaran
tied to the citizens of the United States,
in every State that might desire it
And the Court then adds: 44 And no
word can be found in the Constitution
which gives Congress a greater power o-
ver slave property, or which entitles pro
perty of that kind to less protection than
property of any other discription. The only

[From the Atlanta Intelligencer, Sept 3.]
Letter Frew Hoa. M. A. Cooper.
Etowah, Ga., Sept lsl 1859.
Da. John W. Lewis, Sup’l Atlanta, Ga.:
Dear Sir:—Yours, of the 30th ultimo,
was received to-day. Yon call my atten
tion to what yon said to me, in reply to
my application for a reduction of tariff on
iron, during the first year of your admin-
This language Is too plain to be mista
ken. But it maintains no new doctrine.
It was contended for, some years since,
by the Hon. A. H. Stephens and I believe,
the late Hon. John M. Berrien. And
surely I may stand in the path made by
Stephens and Berrien, and established by
the Supreme Court of the United States.
Should you, citizens of Georgia, remove
to a Territory, would not Congress have
the power, and would it not be the duty
of Congress to protect yonr wives and
daughters from lawless violence, should
the Territorial Legislature throw open the
door to it by 44 unfriendly legislation f—
Who will answer this question in the neg
ative? And in my judgmenl a Territo
rial Legislature has no more right to des
troy private property, by “unfriendly
legislation,” or otherwise, than it has to i
generous people. It will raise a storm of j lighting the lamp, the matches seeming to
indignation which will teach his opponents j out - I" a second or two a dense smoke
that n« amount of gratuitous calumny I seen to issue from the stove pipe, *nd
can blacken a life-won reputation.
