COLQUITT. llld. DISTRICT DAVID J. BAILEY. IVth. DISTRICT W. B. W. DENT. Vth. DISTRICT E. W. CHASTAIN. The BaM In Motion—First Democratic Rally lion. Walter T. Colquitt. Upon a notice of only a few hours the Democracy of this city assembled in considerable numbers in Tem perance Hall, on Wednesday (July 27) last, to hear an extempore address from Hon. Walter T. Colquitt, upon the principles involved in the present canvass. W'e were among “the boys,” and although a quiet man we could not keep our feet still, nor restrain our minhfulnt ss within the bounds of decorum. In spite of ourselves our feet would thump the floor ; and we could not help from joining in the chorus of loud ha—lias, which very frequently rung through the Hall. It was a good time ; and every body went home satis fied with the speaker, satisfied nitli themselves, satis fied with our candidates, and more than ever impressed with the truth and value of our political principles. We are very happy to state that Mr. Colquitt’s health has much improvtd, and that he will, if he continues to grow better, mingle freely with the people during the present canvass, and bear aloft the Democratic banner, now so proudly waving in triumph over this broad Union. We hope he will do so, as we are sure it is only necessary for the people to hear hirn to be con vinced oftlie insincerity and utter worthlessness of the attempt now being made by Messrs. Toombs and Jen kins to reconstruct a Southern Party out of the broken fragments of the once triumphant but now shattered and dishonored Union Whig organization. It is impossible for us to give even a synopsis of Mr. Colquitt’s address. Ho made one or two points, how ever, which we will preeent to our readers. He made a short review of the political history of Georgia for the last ten years, by which he very forcibly demonstrated that the leaders of the new party had proven themselves incompetent to perceive the true policy of the country or lacking in honesty to pursue it ; in that they had earnestly advocated a Bank of the U. S., a Protective Tariff, aud Internal Improvement by the Federal Government, as absolutely essential to the well being of the country, and now abandoned them as obsolete and hurtful projects. We are satisfied that there is very great truth in this charge, and that it is not sufficiently insisted upon by the Democratic Press. These were once made para mount issues before the American people; they wire discussed for ten years ; statesmen of large pretension*, if not of considerable merit, staked their statesmanship upon them ; and honest men actually believed, under whig teaching, that the prosperity, nay, the very exis tence of the country was staked upon them. Yet,* few years of Democratic ascendenoy has completely demonstrated that this teaching was utterly fallacious, and they have been publicly repudiated by the Whig Party in convention assembled. Are the apostles of these acknowledged heresies again to be trusted with the veins of Government ? The signs of apostleship do not follow them. They taught error and acknowledge that they so taught. What evidence can they give us that they are right now ? They deceived the people once ; that was their fault. If’ they deceive us again it will be our fault. Upon the charge so often repeated by the Whig press of free soil appointments by Gen. Pierce, Mr. C. took the high ground that no Democrat had been appointed to office by the President who has gone half as far as Webster in the advocacy of free soilism. Even Dix, the bug-bear of the Whigs, had not only conceded that the North had no right to interfere with slavery in the States, hut bololy contended that the South was enti tled to protection from the Federal Government in her property in slave*. Furthermore, he stated that Dix was an advocate of the annexation of Florida, Louisiana and Texas to the Union though slavery wae recognized in them, and only contended for the application of the Wilmot Proviso to the Mexican Territory, because it was already Free Terrirory by the laws of Mexico. He moreovtr advocated the compromise measure*; and i* entitled to the forgiveness of the whigs for ht free eoil ism much n?ore than Daniel Webster, Mr. Jenkin*’ nominee tor President, who had no other claim to south ern support; and was known besides to havo opposed the admission of Texas into the Union *olely upon the ground that slavery existed ther*. The exposure of this hypocrisy of the Whigs in de nouncing Dix for his free soilism and praising and ac tually voting for Webster, who was a better free soiler, by the eloquent speaker, was utterly overwhelming and we are sure no Y\ hig who heard him will ever again mention the name es Dix unless he ha* a face of brass. Mr. Colquitt very feelingly alluded to his son, Mr. Alfred 11. Colquitt, the gallant nominee of the party for Congress in this District, and while he acknowl edged his indebtedness and gratitude to his friends for the high honor they had conferred upon one so near to him, ho pledged bis own ardent republicanism and long public services for his fidelity to his country and his devotion to the principles of Democracy, both of which he had taught him to revere, and took occasion te re pel with aorne asperity the attempt to strip from his brow the green laurels he had won #u the bloody field of Buena \ ista, fcy the Columbus Enquirer. He stated that A. H. Colquitt claimed no merit tor his military services—he bad but done his duty-but that he was aid to Gen. Taylor at Buena Vista, and was equally exposed with the old hero during the two days of the battle. He also stated that as Paymaster he had paid out more money than any other officer of the army, and. what was mote, had accounted for every dol lar with the Government, and never was accused, as same other people had been , of using the publio tnonev. Mr. Colquitt closed with a splendid eulogy upon the character and administration of President Pierce, and urged upon his audience the duty *f giving him a firm and unwavering support at the South, as he had so faithfully stood up to our rights both in Congress and as President, amid long and load applause from his de lighted auditory. Now that the ball is m motion, vv hops it will b* iepi rolling, fb* victory is in our grasp if we will bnt resolve to win it. “VY e occupy an impregnable posi tion. The party is in the ascendant in almost every State in the Union. The principles announced in tb Inangora! have extorted praise evsn from oar enemies. The country knows that the only bep* of the Union and •* ’• \m rWtr cvHitrifh r* Fcsersl *#**♦>* and that the Democracy is the only National Party in the country which has wisdom enough to appreciate them or honesty enough to adhero to them. “Lp, Guards, and at them.” Rail Road Accident. As the cars were Dearing Howard on the Muscogee Railroad yesterday, they accidentally ran over a cow and the baggage car was thrown off the track. The engine, tender and passenger cars were not jostled. No on* was injured. The baggage car was upset and badly damaged. No fault attaches to the engine dri ver, as the accident was unavoidable and was occasion ed by the cow’s jumping across the track unexpectedly. “The Rights of the States”—“Secession”—• “Disunion.” When those charmed words, so full of hope to the ; Republican, so full of terror to the Conservative, . fell from the mouth of attorney General Cushing, j at Wilmington, Del., we expected to hear a howl • of indignation from one end of the Union to the ! other. We have beeu very agreeably surprised j at the profound silence of the Whig press in refe- j rence to the occurrence. We hope it is a sign that | the public mind haß revived from the terror inspir- j !ed by their too frequent denunciation by corrupt, j i ignorant or timid pol ticians; and that it is begin- ! 1 ning to be understood that Stato interposition, instead !of being a destructive and revolutionary principle, is | the surest and only safe bond of Union. The great j and unfortunate misapprehension which has so long j ! prevailed upon this subject has resulted from a total | misapprehension of the cardinal principles of American - Our governments are btnlt upon the doctrine j thatman is capable of self government, and necessarily j renounce all reliance upon force as the ordinary agent ■ of power. They therefore risk their success upon the blessings and benefits they’ confer, and not upon the bayo- j nets they can bring to back their authority. Hence j we have no soldiers except upon the frontiers; and they j are there only to defend the country from the aggros- j sions of foreign foes. Andifwehold our rights independently of force', much ! more is oar Union the result of oonsent. The inde pendent and sovereign states now composing this proud I confederacy, voluntarily entered into a compact to form a Federation, and delegated the exercise of certain j powers to an agent for their mutual benefit; and limi- ; ted and restricted it* rights and powers by an instru- ; ment of writing, called the Conititution. No pow- j er was oonferred upon this agent to call the States to ! its tribunals; no power was conferred upon it to enforce them into submission to its decrees. Sovereignty was reserved to the States. “This is, in truth, the original cardinal spirit of the Constitution of the United States.” It interposes between the individual and the Federal power, the shield of State authority ; and by this barrier to tyranny insures the liberty of the citizen, and mode ration and equity in the administration of the Govern ment, by which its blessings will be universally diffused, like the dews of heaven, and every heart uuited in striving for its perpetuity. We Bre very happy to havo it in our power to forti fy this opinion by the authority of the great name of ! Ckanmno, perhaps the ablest, certainly one of the ablest j Divines who has ever adorned the American pulpit. In | a sermon delivered at the annual election, May 26, 1830, | he ua*-s the following remarkable language : ! “Our Union is not like that of other nations, confirm |ed by the habits of *ges. and riveted by force. It !is a recent, and still more, a voluntary Union. It is idle |to talk of force as binding us together. Nothing | can retain a member of this confederacy, when resolv !ed on separation. The only bonds that can permanent* Ily unite us, are moral ones. That there are repulsive | powers, principles of discord, in these States, we all I feel. The attraction whioh is to counteract them, i* only ; to be found in a calm wi*dom, controlling the passions, | in a spirit of equity and regard to the common weal, j and in virtuous patriotism, clinging to the Union as the j only pledge of freedom an 1 peace. ’ There is so just an appreciation of the cardinal prin ciples of American freedom in this paragraph, that we rnay be pardoned if we wonder how it came to see the ; cold Federal atmosphere of New England. We now refer our readers to Mr Cushing’s speech. It is worthy of Jefferson or Calhoun, and gives the amplest assurance that the pretent Administration is in the old Republican track, and that the Resolutions of ’9B and ’99, lately incorporated into the Democratic platform are living realities. BFEECH OF MR. CUSHING AT WILMINGTSX, DELAWARE. Hon. Caleb Cushing was nest introduced to the citin Zens, and spoke ** follows : j Fellow-citizens, I yield to your rquest that I should I now address you, with the less reluctance, for the reason that this Stats of Delaware, with one other of the States of the Union—viz.: Rhode Island—the most perfect and admirable illustration of the most beautiftil feature in the constitution of the United States, upon which the in tegrity, nay upon which, in rny judgment, the salvation and existence of the Union depend. Gentlemen, those who framed the constitution of gov ernment under which we live, were wise, good men. They were the demi-gods of our country’s heroic age. 1 They assembled amid burning towns, the roar of the can | non of invading enemies—they, a feeble people, not even | yet in the gristle of manhood, to arm themselves against the greatest and most powerful of the governments of Christendom ; and then and there, in the presence of dan ger, under all apparent discouragement, that prophetic vision of the future that s*emed rather an inspiration from Heaven than the suggestion of a human heart—l say then and there to foond this mighty fabric of the United States, they assembled, thirteen independent colonies, and | by the blessing of God, pronounced the declaration of separation from England—each independent not only of Great Britain, but of each other. These thirteen independent State# convened, not in a legislative body, but in a congress of the diplomatic repre sentatives of sovereign State?, to bind their separate pow er and strength to fight that great war of independence to a successful issue They did so, each continuing an i independent State, allied, confederated, not merged into ; one central government, but confederated and represent !ed by their agents in that confederation. We look around upon the Spanish American republics, upon Mexico and I the rest, with wonder that their history is but a history of ; civil war ; that in all but a generation of liberty they seem i to have discovered nothing but how to perpetuate disor -1 der; that they live, as it were, in a chronic distemper of j revolution , that their governments arc but a constituted anarchy; and that every year, as it revolves, brings around anew military insurrection and anew pronuncia. - mento to add to the long r< 11 of faction and civii carnage. We wonder at this, and we cannot fail to wonder at the marvellous contrast presented in the spectacle of our own peace, our own order, our own steadily advancing power and prosperity, our own universally diffused liber- . ty, our own possession of that spirit of manhood incarnate j in the breast of every citizen, in virtue and by impulsion of j which our institutions ivo k by their own inherent energy —by the virtue and patriotism of men, not by the wisdom or the skill of government. No, gentlemen, that govern ment which represents your greatness, which is the agent of your power, haa been enabled, through long years of j prosperity, to conduct this country from triumph to tri umph, mounting a* it ware, day after day, towards those imperial height* of greatness which we are destined to at tain. I say that government has done it first, because it is bat the imbodiraent of yoar own spontaneous, ©ell*acting will*; mq, Secondly, to go btek to the idea I desire to present to yoc, became of that wit# prondgbu € the fra *ww flt* fcAfteb gr<* te fit* fNite*. 5 -equal representation in the Senate of the United States. That, gentlemen—that much abused and nrsunderstooci doctrine of the rights of the States; that glorious, grand. and sublime conception of the co-equal rights ot the States, one in the presence of the other, which to-day is called secession, and to-morrow disunion, by whatever name ot reproach a wise man may see fit to slander it, that which is in truth the original cardinal spirit of the constitution oi the United States. If gentlemen will go back once more to the formation of the constitution, aud remember that of thirteen equal sovereigns stood Virginia, mighty in her population, mighty in the intellect of her sons, mightier still in her relative weight and power, by reason of her magnitude ; that there stood opposite the Suite of Massachusetts, not, as now, shorn of five-sixths of her territory by the sep aration of Virginia—she, always great in her population and her representative wealth, great in the self-sacrifi cing devotion of her sons ; groat, I may be permitted to say", in their wisdom—those States occupied nearly one half the territory of the then thirteen Suites ; yet, by their sides stood the little States of Rhode Island and Delaware, little only in territory. District Meeting. Agreeably to previous notice, a portion of the Demo® cratic Party of Muscogee County, met to-day at the Court House for the purp se of selecting Delegates from the two Town Districts, to attend a county Convention tube held in the city of Columbus on the 9d Tuesday in August next to nominate Democratic candidates for the Legislature. The meeting was organized by calling the Hon. Al fred Iverson to the Chair, and requesting Francis M. Brooks to act as Secretary. On motion of Dr. A. J. Robison, a committee ot three from each of the Town Districts was appointed by the Chair, to select suitable delegates to attend said Con vention. Whereupon the Chairman appointed the following per sons as that committee, viz. : A. J. Robison, Porter In gram, Samuel Hatcher, A. C. Morton, A. M. Robinson and G. W. Cherry. The committee after retiring for a few minutes repor ted the following named persons as delegates, viz : from the Upper Dis'rict, A. B. Ragan, Dr. S. A. Billing and B. V. Iverson ; from the Lower District, John Quin, George J. Pitts and A. C. Morton. On motion of the Hon. A. C. Morton, the delegation from each district were empowered to fill any vacancy. adOn motion of Tenuent Lomax, Iv-q., tho meeting now journed. ALFRED IVERSON, Chairman. Francis M Brooks, Secretary. Columbus, Ga., July 27th, 1853. i [ From the Constitutionalist & Republic.] Theology in the Political Field. The Whig press of Georgia has outraged ; every principle of fairness and propriety in the coarse and vindictive manner in which they have assailed Judge Johnson, misrepresented his po litical opinions and slandered his religious sen timents. We fear not the result of such intem perance and injustice, believing fully that these malignant blows will be parried and beat down by the sound indignation ofa virtuous and intelli gent people. It is time that political zealots who think, or act as if they thought, every thing is fair in poli tics, and that success will sanctify any means used for its obtainment, should be taught their error, ai.d the present canvass furnishes a fit op portunity for the people of Georgia to teach the lesson to the utter confusion of Judge Johnson’s j defamers. The latest and most discreditable assault j made on him, comes under an insidious guise— ; with an affectation of candor poorly simulated, and under circumstances of unusual atrocity- It comes from a correspondent of the Southern Recorder, a paper once edited in a gentlemanly ; spirit but which has fallen immensely in re spectability since the withdrawal of its late edi- I tor, Coionel Grieve, now Charge to Sweden, j That correspondent is no other than its editor, and that editor tio other than one who professes to bea Christian, and has even, we understand, | officiated as a clergyman. At the late commencement of Wesleyan Fe male College, Macon, Judge Johnson delivered a most able, chaste and elevated address, of which the Board of Trustees have spoken in the highest terms of commendation. The correspondent aforesaid thus speaks of the address in the last Southern Recorder : “One word more about the Commencement Address. I believe I expressed regret in my last, that the learned and worthy speaker should have so liberally diffused through his oration, the fascinating, but as 1 believe, fatal dogmas of Swedenbourg. Judge Johnson has a rignt to entertain whatever opinions, to him, may seem most correct and proper, upon questions of this, as well as politics ; but i must doubt, very capi tally, whether the occasion referred to was al together appropriate to the propagation of view# among the young, which are held to be ; antiscrii.tural by a majority of those who are ; believers in the truths of revealed religion, and ! who have investigated the doctrines ofSweden- J bourg. “I trust these obnoxious portions ofthe address | will be expunged before it reaches the public i eye. lam joined in this desire by many of his I political and personal friends, who, like myself, I admired and approved the main body of the speech.” Now this asault is in the same spirit and prompted by precisely the same motives which have called forth the slander that Judge John son was a believer in Spirit Rappings—a slander which has not the slightest foundation to excuse it, and which is yet shamelessly repeated in the ! face of authentative denial, j So with reference to Swedeubourgiamsm. j What the peculiar dogmas of Swedenbourg, : which tho learned theologian of tho Recorder j j deems anti-scriptural, and which he chargos Judge Johnson with propagating, he does not i venture to specify. There were others present ! ! at the oration who were as firm believers in the I | truths of revealed religion as himself, and quite i j as exemplary in the practice of its precepts.—-- j Yet their religious sensibilities received no shock —their orthodoxy perceived no challenge to re- . ligious combat. It was not the pious Christian j whose convictions were alarmed, but the schem ing politician whose awakened. W e hope the wish of the Reverend correspon | dent—a wish we do not believe any personal or j political friend of Judge Johnson united in—will j not be gratified, that “the obnoxious portions of ; the address will be expunged before it reaches i the public eye.” That would be allowing the * malignity of the correspondent to go undetec ted by the public eye, and therefore unrebuked. I Let the whole address be furnished, and let the ] public judge between Judge Johnson and hirn ; who charges him with propagating anti-scriptu- j ral sentiments. This is a matter wantonly thrust before the religious community cf the Stase. Let it ■decide ss just men would decide rei oi i sectarians, but in the spirit ot true chrsiti anity. Johnson has been from his youth up an exemplary Christian—a consistent member ot the Presbyterian Church, holding to its tenets and obeying its requirements, and has lived a life of blameless morality and purity. Not the first act of his, inconsistent with the duties ot a Christian, have we yet heard alleged against him. It is not in character with him as a man or a Christian to avail himself of the delicate and honorable position assigned him at Macon, while addressing such an audience, to propa gate doctrines and dogmas fatal to Christian ity. We would respectfully urge upon Judge John son to take the field—appeal to the justice, and the good sense of the people—make his appoint ments at convenient and accessible places to address his fellow cittzens, and invite his as sailants, and all others who choose to enter the lists, to meet him face to face before his fellow citizens. and there discuss with him all the po litical arid religious questions on which they may choose to provoke controversy. Tire Canvass* To judge from the position which prominent politicians of the State are now taking in the canvass, we are inclined to think that the chances are altogether in favor of the “Coon killer.” The influence of Cobb, Wofford, Hill yer and other Union Democrats, of the 6th Dis trict, will doubtless be sufficient to bring the Union Democracy of that section into the “re organized” line. So, too, in the sth District.— Lumpkin & Chastain and others will bring down the Cherokee beys almost en masse for Johnson, while McDonald and Warner and Glenn, no matter how they stand in the Congressional election of tho 4th District, between Dent and Murphy, will be sure to give their support to Johnson for Governor. In the 3d District, there is, and will continue to be, much lukewarmness and indifference among the Conservatives, es pecially among the rank and file of the Scott Whigs. The leaders of the latter, looking for promotion hereafter, will probably hurra for Jenkins and Trippe, publicly, while they private ly “nurse their wrath to keep it warm.’’at the indignity of neglect which has been put upon them ! In the 7lh District, much the same state of things exists. A clever but unknown gen tleman has been nominated for Congress (over a faithful Scott Whig) who cannot rally the strength of his party, but who will be elected without opposition—thus lessening the vote of the district for Jenkins, from the absence of lo cal interest in the election of Congressman.— In the 2d District the contest will be a close one between James Johnson and Mr. Colquitt, from the fact that the Union Democrats, generally, will go for the latter, except perhaps in Sumter, and as a matter of course, for H. V. Johnson for Governor. In the Bth District Jenkins will sweep all before him, as that is his strong-hold. In the first, Johnson will beat him one or two hundred votes, as Chatham county is the pe culiar seat ofthe “re-organized’’ Democracy. On the whole, our conclusion is that H. V. Johnson wiJI be the next Governor ofGeorgia. The game is in his hands if he will play it out. The “Algerine’’ law will do Mr. Jenkins no good, nor will his tuants about “Scott Tactics,” last year, help to swell the number of his votes. If beaten, his fate will only be another instance of the poor dog Tray’s disaster. Ho was found in dreadful bad company I— Georgia Citizen. The Algerine Law. The Micon Telegraph propounds to the edi | tor of this p;iper the following question : “The Messenger has called Mr Gardner, of the ; Constitutionalist into court, and wo are glad of it. i He is a valuable witness, ansi since he has been summoned, we will venture to ask him a question. | Did not; the people of Augusta hold Mr. Jenkins I equally retponsible with Mr. Miller for the Alge rine Law, and did they not defeat him in ’42 on ac count of it 1 ? The Messenger has called Mr. G-ard ! ner, but we have a suspicion that it will repent it in i sackcloth and ashes. We are willing to have our statement adjudged by him.” ; The information here sought of us is already ; before the public, furnished by Mr. Jenkins’ I own political friends, and our testimony would on !ly be cumulative to theirs. We will, however, an | swer the question to the best of our recollection. We answer that the people of Augusta did hold Mr. Jenkins equally responsible with Mr. Miller for | the Algerine Law. In the canvass of 1842, Mr. Jenkins assumed his full share of the responsibility j for the law, and did not attempt to throw on Mr. Miller any greater portion of it, than he took upon ! himself. Nor did Mr. Miller claim for himself any ! greater share of the responsibility than Mr. Jen kins manfully and boldly assumed. In fact the share of the burthen assumed by Mr. Jenkins was rather heavier than that of Mr. Miller, asihe result proved ; for Mr. Jenkins defended and ! justified the law, as expedient ana proper, and ex- I pressed himself as adverse to its repeal. Mr. ‘ Miller contented himself by plaeing his ad , vocacy of the law and hi* instrumentality in i its enactment upon the supposed wishes of j his constituents- He expressed himself as wil* I ling to have it repealed, and did not in the can ; vass contend thatit was just and righti n principle or : !in detail. On this point he did not commit himself : | —at least did not do so as positively as did Mr. ! Jenkins. This difference betw-. en the two gentle ; men may perhaps account for the difference in the | result. Mr, Miller was re-elected—Mr. Jenkins 1 * was defeated. The Algerine Law was the issue of the canvass | ;of 18-42, in Richmond county. Mr. Miller and Mr. I Jenkins were both Whigs and occupied the same position on political questions ns between Whigs j and Democ ats. We therefore do not hesitate to j say that Mr. Jenkins was defeated in 1842 on ac count of his position on the Algerine Law.— Con stitutionalist \ Singular Achievement. —A few days ago, the achievement of swimming the Niagara and again re.ctrussing, at a short distance below the Cataract, 1 was performed hy J.
