We are just entering upon a canvass in which a
Governor, members of Congress, members of the Leg
islature, Judges of the Superior Courts, and a United
States Senator will be elected. Every man in Georgia
is deeply interested in the result. The contest will,
therefore, be a stirring one, and afford abundant mate
rial for thought and discussion.
We will spare no labor to make our paper the vehi
cle of the fullest information upon all points discussed,
and the earliest ana most reliable new a from all points
of the State during the canvass.
Every citizens interested in the political opinions of
his neighbor. His vote a fleets his life, liberty and
property.
We will devote our entire euergic-s to the advocacy
of the claims of the Democratic candidates, under the
full conviction that the freedom of the States and the
preservation of the Union are involved in the success of
Democratic principles.
Free Soil Appointments of President Pierce.
In the distribution of local offices at the North, it is
frequently impossible to avoid giving them to Free Boil
ers. In many localities the whole population are or
rather were Free soilei*. The only recourse left to the
President in appointments for such places is to give
office to free Boilers, or leave them vacant. It is well
known at the South that every state at the North,
except one, instructed its representatives in Congress
to vote for the Wilmot Proviso. It is equally well
known that every prominent Whig north of the Poto
mao is or was a Free soiler, and that the very few poli
ticians who escaped the contagion belonged to the Dem
ocrtaic party. No administration therefore can exist
in this country for a day whioh reiuses to give some
offices to Free sobers. No- Whig government can
get along without giving more than one-half of its offices
to this despicable faction. Look at Fillmore’s admin
istration—the beau-ideal of the Conservative party, an
administration which received the cordial support of
the Conservative party of Georgia, and was zealously
supported by Messrs. Toombs and Stephens. Indeed,
his claims for the Presidency received a very earnest
advocacy at their hands. Who filled the chief offices !
in his cabinet? Free sobers. Who tilled all, or nearly !
all, his offices at the North ? Free soilers. Who were
the representatives of his government at Foreign courts 1 \
Free soilt-rs. Now compare his appointments with j
those of Mr. Pierce. He has but one man in his
cabinet (McClelland) who was ever charged with Free
soilism ; and McClelland voted for the Compromise
measures, and thereby placed himself abreast with Mr.
Webster, for whom Charles ,1. Jenkins would have 1
voted if he had not died, and with whom hia name was i
associated as candidate for Vice Pesident—not only i
with hia consent, but with the approbation of Robert !
Toombs. Again, there is not that we know of a single !
Free soiler in the list of Foreign ministers; Soule,
Borland, Buchanan, Jackson, of Georgia, Seibi.es,
of Alabama, Walker —6uch arc the men who have
been chosen by the President to represent this country
at Foreign courts, every one of whom has given irre
fragable evidence ot hia hostility to freeaoiiism, and of
his devotion to the constitutions] rights of the South !
Furthermore, in the selection of local officers, Mr. j
Pierce has shown a commendable anxiety to select the j
least objectionable rnen. The great bone of conten- j
tion between the two wings of the party at the North
was the New York Colleetorship. The claims of a
Free soiler were pressed with uncommon zeal upon his
attention; yet he manfully resisted the importunities of
his friends ; tendered the office to Dickinson, the ever j
faithful friend of the South, and when he peremptorily i
declined it, he gave it to Judge Bronson —than whom
a purer citizen does not live, it is said, in New York, and
one too whose gurmcuu are unspotted by the touch of j
free soil ism.
It has been confidently asserted in the Whig prims j
with unblushing eilrontery that Jno. A. Dix was ten- i
dered the highest seat in the cabinet. It is hardly j
necessary to say this is an unqualified falsehood. The
Premiership was first offered to Hunter of Virginia, j
the Very head 3nd front of the Southern Rights party, \
and when by him declined, it was tendered to Marcv, !
and by him accepted. It has also been extensively as
serted that the mission to France had been given to ‘
Mr. Dix. This is also untrue. The mission has not !
been filled. The oniy office ever given to him was j
that of Sub-treasurer in New York city. We will not :
say that we approve of this appointment—though ean- j
dor compels us to acknowledge that the office is very
far beneath his talent* and position. Intellectually, Mr. I
Dix is one of the great men of America, and the offer !
and acceptance of sueh an office by such a mao is the j
highest evidence that his freesoilism is odious to Mr.
Pierce.
This is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but
the truth. Our readers are now prepared to appreciate
the sincerity of those discomfited Whig politicians who
lately assembled in Milledgerille and hurled their ana
themas at President Pierce because he has appointed
tree sutlers to office. They supported ad
ministration, under which we venture to say there
were five Free soilers in office to one under Pierce.
Many of them supported Scott for the Presidency, and
tte world knows that he was the creation and choice of
the abolition wing of the Whig party, and would have
fi led all his oft.ee. with tho fiieudsof Wm. H. Seward.

We have long believed that the Whig party had an
utter contempt for the intelligence of the people. M e
are now confirmed in this opinion.
For the la6t four years, Southern Whigs have been
lamenting over the terrible dangers which threatened
the Union from the formation of a seotional party, and
have actually worn Washington’s Farewell Address
threadbare in their zeal for nationality. The}’ triumph
ed before the people; they utterly prostrated a party
whose only sin was an over zealous attachment to South
ern rights ; they drove us into a national organization ;
when lo 1 their whole policy changes, and they are
alarmed at tire imminent peril of the South —because
Drx, and a few’ more freesoilers, who have no doubt
long ago repented of their heresy, have received from
the hands of the President a local office in tlieir own
States,
When California was being filched from us, and the
supremacy of the North in the Government was ren
dered certain by its admission into the Union as a free
State, all was well. W'hen Texas was being bribed
and dismembered, and territory enough to form a large
•lave State was taken from her and devoted to free
soil by its annexation to New Mexico, all was well.
When freedom was given to the siave as a penalty for
| offering to sell him in the Dißtrict of Columbia, all was
j well. But the appointment of Dix ! that was the pa
i sage of the Rubieou—that was the drop too much—
I that was the pound which broke the camel’s back !
Wo have no patience to reply to such bald hypocrisy.
Mummer Retreats.
We do not underrate the benefits of travel. This,
however, is a very different thing from the habit of
absenteeism so common at the South. No sooner
does the cun pass the summer solstice, than thousands
of families annually shut up their houses, dismiss their
servants, turn over the management of their farms to
; agents, and seek pleasure in the thronged cities and
| watering places at the North. The effects of this prac*
; lice upon Southern society are lamentabie. The gay
i and the beautiful all flown ; parlors ail closed ; churches
i partially deserted ; the busy workers alone left; there
| is nothing to relieve life of its monotony, but the piero
j iug rays of a summer’s sun, and the clouds of dust which
] every breeze dings in the face, during the long summer
| months in the sunny South. The flowers bloom in
j vain ; in vain does the mocking bird trill its melodious
j song. And for what is all this sacrifice made? For
the inconveniences of a bad hotel at a watering place, or
■ the bustle of a crowded city, far, far away.
“Home, home, sweet, sweet home,
He it ever so humble
There’s no place like home.”
This is a very popular song, but a very unpopular
sentiment. Our people not only leave home for half
j the year, but are not content unless they can place be
tween them and home an interminable tract of land or
sea. A writer in one of oar periodicals well says :
“We, of the South, at great cost of time and money,
make pilgrimages to the Catskill, the banks of the Juni
atta, and the limpid lakes of the North. We must hear
the reverberating roar of the Niagara, and feel its ‘terri
ble majest .’ This is well. We condemn it not. Yet
how few of us know that there is within our own limits,
scenei y f which for beauty, compares well with the clas
sic vale of Wyoming, and for grandeur, with Niagara.—
Have our readers stood upon the brink of Tallulah’s
yawning gulf, cut slowly through the granite hills of
Rabun, and seen, far btlovi’ their feet, the dancings ream
pencilled on its bed, like fairy tracery ? There is Tuecoa,
too. the gem of the hills; and Naucoochee , the happy
valley ; and Currahee, springing, shaft-like, from the
levei plain, and rising, conical and alone, to bathe its
summit in the light of the upper ekv.’’
But not only is the South deprived of the presence
of great numbers of her people during the summer
months, but the goiden harvest of her cotton fields is pour
ed with a profuse hand into the pockets of Northern
people. And by these summer flights to colder lati
tudes, not only is her social enjoyments interrupted, but
her wealth is abstracted. If therefore her people find
it necessary to seek health by removal toother localities,
let them wander upon the granite cliffs of Tallulah’s
yawning gulf, and nestle in Naucoochee’s quiet shade—or
findhealih and pleasure in the romantic glens of Meri
wether. The sparkling waters of the Chalybeate and
White Sulphur springs are as curative as those of Sarato
ga, and there is not on earth a bath so refreshing as those
provided by our townsman at the Warm springs.—
There is nothing needed to make these charming re
sorts the very Eden, but the glancing eyes and bright
smiles of our blooming maidens ;

When we see them reflected from looks that we love.”

Horrible Murder.
W e have not before heard of the sad occurrence re
ferred to in the subjoined note. Mr. Norton was, we
believe, a resident of Randolph county, Ga.
Cutijbert, June i. sth, 1853.
Messrs. Editors: The circumstances attending the
death ot Mr. Norton, were diabolical in the extreme. A
negro belonging to Mr. Stewart, the father of Mrs. Nor
ton, soon after the family had retired, entered the house,
and with an axe killed Mr. Norton, his little son, six years
old, and no doubt supposed that he had also killed Mrs.
Norton, as she had received no less than seven blows on
the head with the axe. She is *siiil alive, though uncon
scious. The negro is now confined in Jail. There are now
five persons in our Jail for murder.

[FOR THE TIMES AND SENTINEL.]
“Truth is mighty and will Prevail.”
Milledoeville, June 23, 1853.
To the Editors Times and Sentinel:
I have been reminded of this “truism,” Messrs. Editors,
by recurring to the past and looking to the present. But
let the past and present speak for themselves.
Not more than twelve months ago, when the members of
the old Whig patty so jar forgot their own principles, and
the interest of our common country, and especially that of
the South, as to go to the Baltimore Whig Convention,
when they there agreed to certain resolutions in lavor of a
Protective Tariff and Internal Improvements by the Gene
ral Government, and these resolutions being in opposition
to tnoee upon which the old Geoigia “State Rights” or
“Whig” party was formed ; and when the two wings of
the party, the “Scott” and “ Webster” parties met at Maeou
and re-adopted these Baltimore Whig resolutions —at this
time, Messrs. Editors, your humble servant, (though but an
humble and “obscure” member of the old Georgia Whig
party,} raised a warning voice, and protested against his old
friends thus going over to and trailing after our old and
common enemy—the Federal and Consolidation party of
the United States. The writer over the signature of “One
of the old “ Whjg” Guard,” notified you and his old po
litical friends that the “principles of the Scott and Webster
parties were not the principles of the old Georgia Whig
party”—he contended that the principles of these Northern
Whigs were not the Republican principles, which we, the
younger members of the party had learned from “our fath
ers,” and the Constitution of our country. And wishing
not to be believed, if he spoke not the truth,/rom ?/Ve re
cord, he produced that “record” in the shape of “votes”
and “resolves” of his old party-—in the past. And in ad
dition to all this he referred to honorable gentlemen by
name, who were then arrayed in opposition to him, to eay
if the record was not fairly presented, and if his deductions
were not true. And for all this, what did I receive from
my old friends ? Was it the response of “well done,” and
“continue in your good work”? No. Were those exposi
tions received in a kind and generous manner ? I guess
not —for about the only responses that were heard, were,
“he has quit the Whigs,” “he is a turn coat” or “he has
become a Democrat &.C., and one or two base and un
principled scoundrels among them were heard to charge
the writer with being an “office seeker”—as the motive for
thishoneet anu fair and truthful expvisition of the error of
his old political friends—and done, too, for their benefit
and tor the benefit of the South, especially. But now, what
is the result ? Twelve months have not yet rolled round,
and where do we note find the members of the “Scott” and
“ Webster” parties? Having got out of the ‘light fix’ in which
their attempt to co-operate with the National Whig party
had placed them—do we now find them—men ofprinci
j pie —standing up to their Baltimore Whig Platform ? do wc
even find them sticking to this “glorious Whig party,” or
even terming or proclaiming themselves “Whigs?” No
no. But, on the contrary, their Convention that assembled
here yesterday, not only “quit the Whig uarne,” hut
it actually “quit the Whig party,” too, (as I did about
12 months since) —for in all their resolutions the term
“Whig” or “Whigs” is used but once; and that is done
only to denounce past conduct of the Whig party. Is this
not true ? Let any one who doubts, read the resolutions.
But this is not ail. The Convention not only refused to
call themselves “Whigs"—and it not only denounced the
Whig party for its past extravagance and faithless and ruin
ous conduct to the country—and it not only passed a reso
lution striking directly a!, a:id in direct opposition to, the
Baltimore Whig Platform in relstioii to Internal Improve
ments by the General Government, but it. actually had as its
President a Democratic Pierce man. Who have “quit the
Whigs” now 1 And, as I and others like me, 12 months
since, were considered by some as “turn coats”—who is it
that have become ‘'turn coats” now’ ; who is it that have
“become Democrats” See., See. now? Let those of my old
Whig triends who now belong to this present “Union-Re
publican-Conservative, and not “Whig” organization ; let
those who endorse the action of the Convention yesterday,
and who thereby “quit the Whig party” themselves, answer
truthfully, if they wiil, and I shall be content.
I wish not to be misunderstood, Messrs. Editors. Ido
not censure my old political friends, for thus returning to
the old and true, and only safe path, that will lead co the
happiness and prosperity of our people, and the perpetuity
of our glorious Union, (and glorious it is, too, when admin
istered in the spirit of our Constitution.) 1 am ready, as Ido
now “welcome,” the“retum” of these “prodigals,” from their
wanderings after false and ruinous lights. Let them con
tinue and “tarry” for awhile—and il they do this, and give
evidence that they will not again wander and lead others in
the dark morass, from which they have just dragged them
selves, the day may not be distant, when “we shall meet
again,” accompanied by many, who will never learn that
“the king (or party) can do no wrong.” Verb. gap. sat.
For myself, I shall duly claim—and I think it due me—that
should I hereafter be a candidate for any thing, these old
associates of mine ought to give me their united support—
as one of the earliest to “discover” and act upon the “dis
covery’—that the Northern Whig party and its principles
would not do to remain with ionger—and a3 about the first
to strike at its flag, and to raise a wanffbg voice to them,
to flee the wrath of further association with it— which they
have at last heeded. Let this be the case, and we will not
grumble. Until then, their injustice is remembered, though
it is forgiven ! The Great and the Powerful Iliad not then
spoken. It wa9 but a still small, voice at that time. And
the “rank and file,” in giving currency to the coinage of
knaves, knew not what they did.
In relation to the resolutions of this Convention, I pre
j sume that neither you, Messrs. Editors, nor any other Deni
! ocrat can materially object to them. If the whole spirit
and meaning of them are not Southern Democratic doc
j trine, then I have been mistaken in my inteipret&tion of
; those principles. It is true, there is a fling at the Freesoil
: appointments of Gen. Pierce—and from observing some of
; the “signs” in the Conservative or Democratic papers at
the North, lam sorry to think, that, perhaps there is some
| just cause of complaint with Gen. Pierce, upon this score.
| But is this sufficient cause, for those who investigated the
| past life and course of Gen. Pierce, and who had strong
; confidence in his conservatism, &c., &c.,to “give him up,”
and denounce him ? I think not. I have ail along con
curred with one of these resolutions, and until the Demo
crats ot Georgia in denying that Abolitionists and Free
soilers were worthy of public honors and public emolu
ments. And when Mr. Fillmore appointed Mr. Corwin
and a few others to office, it was quite distasteful at first, to
me. But having voted for him, I was disposed to extend
to him a little “generous confidence,” and did not make an
issue with him upon that point. Mr. Fillmore's “expert- ■
meat” having worked well—and made Mr. Corwin and
others good “compromise” or “conservative” men in the
Northern sense. I was prepared to see General Pierce
pursue a.aotnewhat similar, though limited course— and I
‘was prepared to him ia. il—but i fe&r. he baa gi ran
os too much of this policy. But not being sufficiently in
formed at this time upon this point, to form and ex prase a
deeided opiates in relation to this matter, as fnesde of Gen
Pierce, this resolution strikes us rather “tenderly.” But
otherwise, they are good and true; and will you dis
pute them ? I trow not. Then let u* rather commend than
condemn the disposition of men now to come right, who
have heretofore been doing wrong. Let the Democrats re
collect that the Whigs are not the only men who have
heretofore been “led astray,” and returned to their “first
love.” And if this is remembered and acted upon—now
that all arc trying to do right—this present canvass will lie
lees heated, and more agreeable than we have seen for many
yeara in Georgia. For as to the candidates for Governor,
they are both highly able men, highly moral, and honora
ble in their course with their fellow citizens—and eminent
examples for many who .may possibly traduce and villify
them, during the ensuing campaign.
In relation to the Convention generally—things seemed
to go on quite harmoniously. It is true, there were a lew
Whigs that did not like to doff their name and principles,
and assume that of ultra “Union “ “Republican” or “Con
servative.” They were a little restive, t and some still so
-—but I thought 1 discovered a little “doeiiity” among this
class, before they left. And there was some enthusiasm
evinced among many of the delegates before they left.
However, this may be—while I think Johnson will be
elected, yet I can tell you now, that there will be no
“child’s play” iu the matter—and if the Democrats don’t
keep a sharp look out,you will see a race, that will aston
ish the natives.
The “Union Republicans” or “Conservatives” nominated
their candidate for Congress for this district last evening.
Dr. David A. Reese, of Jasper, was the fortunate man.
And as this District is largely Anti-Democratic (some 1200
or 1500 majority) and Dr. Reese one of the best of men—
one who is generally known and popular—and loved much
by those who know him beet —this nomination may be
considered as the same as an election. I le&m that the
Democrats have not yet determined to offer opposition to
him—having but little hope of success. Col. A. K. Kenan
waa an aspirant, with some hope*, by his friends, of a nom
ination. But on the day, not liking the complexion of the
Convention,he withdrew his name from its consideration,
and announced himself as an Independent Whig Candidate
—but to-day I leam ho has reconsidered the matter, and
will not run. Dr. Reese had no opponent and received all
but one vote in the Convention.
But I must bring this communication to a close, with the
J request to excuse haste and correct errors, as I am just about
to leave, and am writing this in a public room, with persons
coining in and conversing around me.
Yours, respectfully,
“ONE OF THE OLD WHIG GUARD.”

I State Democratic Convention—Nomination tor
Governor.
W e publish the proceedings of the Convention which
nominated lion. Herschel V. Johnson, for Governor.
The Convention adopted the creed and principles of the
Democratic party, under which the Democracy of ihe
Union, with Franklin Pierce 33 the standard-bearer, have
so recently triumphed. The Convention has done well.
No political event has occurred since the election of Presi
dent Pierce, which has given us such unalloyed satisfac
tion as the nomination of 11. V. Johnson for Governor.
He is one of the ablest and one of the purest men in the
State. Ofsuehaman every citizen may justly feel proud.
He has ever been a Democrat in its true sense—a sup
porter of the political equality and rights of the people, to
gether with the rights of the States and the Union of the
States formed by the Constitution. With such a man
for our candidate, and with such principles to battle for, in
the coming contest, every Democrat will do his duty and
victory is certain.
The Whig press, heading a faction whose principles
and policy have been repeatedly condemned and repudi
ated by the people, will resort to every expedient to ere
ate dissensions among us—to divide and conquer. Know- I
ing their arts —as we love our country, prize our princi* j
pies, and value our liberties—let us avoid the snar-s that .
will belaid for us; let the eud—the good of our country j
—be always uppermost in our minds, and we shall se . ;
cure that harmony of feeling and action, which in sueh a j
cause, are the guarantees of success.— Albany Patriot. ‘

tW“ Asa Spring and Summer Medicine, Carter’s Span
ish Mixture stands pre-emiuent above all others. Its singu-
I iarly efficacious action on the blood ; its strengthening and
; vivifying qualities; its tonic action on the Liver; its ten
dency to drive ail humors to the surface, thereby cleansing
r the system according to Nature’s own prescription ; its
i harmless, and at the same time extraordinary good effects,
and the number of cures testified to by many of the most
j respectable citizens of Richmond, Va., and elsewhere, nu i
1 be conclusive evidence that there is no humbug about it.
The trial ot a single bottle will satisfy the most skeptical
of its benefits. Seo advertisement in another column.
