AN APPEAL TO THE DEMOCRACY.
The democracy of Georgia must re-unite, j
We have fought too long together, in the migli- j
tv contest for principle, to be severed now, by
the tricks and management of our old adversa
ries. VVe have fought therp upon the Tariff;
upon the U. States Bank ; upon the Indepen- |
dent Treasury ; upon the Annexation of Texas ;
and upon the Mexican War, &c. &c.; and can
not now’ be beguiled into their support, under
anew name! Let all who claim to be dem- |
ocrats, lay down the prejudices, which grew out j
of the sectional controversy of 1850, and rally
once more to the support of Gen’l Pierce’s j
administration. We all supported Franklin j
Pierce for President; he has shown himself
worthy of the democracy, and we must sustain j
him so long as he is worthy of our confidence.
The whigs, under the name of Union and Con
servatism, have made war upon that adminis
tration without cause ; and yet expect demo
crats to fall back upon the division of 1850,
and go with them. We must bury our animosi
ties, and stand by the administration. The Un
ion party, based upon questions wholly sectional,
was formally dissolved. Read Mr. Jenkins’
letter.
They have published its dissolution time and
again. We have acted upon it. We voted for
Franklin Pierce for President, while Toombs,
Stephens, J enkins, and others, opposed his
election. We triumphed over both the tickets
set up by these Conservative leaders ; when lo!
they attempt to set up the divisions of 1850
again, divide the democracy, and battle down
the President you have elected. We call upon
you then as democrats ; and ask you not to be
deceived by your old adversaries, but stand by
the administration of your choice. In every
part of the State, strong Union.,men are ask
ing for a faithful adhesion to democracy. Gov.
Cobb stands at the head in his efforts to harmo
nize the democracy. Judge Lumpkin, Judge
Cole, Judge Powers, and others, are showing
themselves above the prejudices of the hour.
I will submit the thoughts and feelings of othe r
Union democrats upon this subject. They are
worthy to be read and remembered. Read them,
fellow-democrats, and place yourselves where
you have ever been, in the line of buttle, which
caused democracy to triumph.
MR. CHAPPELL’S LETTER.
Mr. A. H. Chappell, a Union Democrat,
had been suggested by a correspondent of
the Journal <fp Messenger, over the signa
ture ot “Bibb,” as a candidate the Con
servative party for Congress, under the as
sumption that the Union party’ had been re-or
ganised, and that he as a Union man would “re
sume his proper position in it.’’ In allusion to
this supposed state ot facts, Mr. Chappell very
forcibly and truly remarks:
“The party now in the field (the Conserva
tive) and to which ‘Bibb’ evidently adheres, and
with which he would have me to act, does not
even announce itself to the world as the Union
party. The omission to do so in the proceed
ings of the late Gubernatorial Convention at
Milledgeville, is certainly a very significant cir
cumstance. It plainly argues that the opinion
ot that Convention in regard to the fact of the
re organization of the Union party, is quite dif
ferent from the opinion entertained by ‘Bibb.’
“But it is not the name, or the want of a
name, of the party to which ‘Bibb’ alludes, that
creates the insuperable obstacle to my acting |
with it. lam a friend and supporter of the
present Dem cratic Administration of the Gene- |
ral Government. I contributed by my vote to
the bringing of that Administration into power.
I have confidence in the great national party by
which that Administration was brought into
power. Os course, I cannot consistently with:
my views and convictions on national politics, I
take position in the ranks of a party in Georgia,
which is inevitably destined, as I think, to be
an Opposition party—a party antagonistic to j
Gen. Pierce’s Administration and to the Na- :
tional Democracy. The Northern Democratic \
party has, in my opinion, from the days of Jeffer
son down to the present hour, been character- j
ized in the main, by friendliness and justice to
the South. They have stood by us in a thousand
trials; they have fought, and either conquer
ed or fallen for us in a thousand hard political
battles. A es! and they were, as a body, with us i
in that last and greatest battle of all, the battle
upon the Compromise questions growing out of
the acquisition of New Mexico and California.
I cannot bring myself to turn my back on such !
a Northern party, and on an Administration
which I concurred with it in electing, until it
shall manifest a spirit and a conduct signally
discordant with the general tone of its past his
tory and character. My devotion to the South
led me in 1844, when representing the State in
Congress, te cast off all political connection
with the Northern W higs, because I saw and
knew lor myself, that as a mass, they were in
tensely leavened, thoroughly penetrated with !
hostility to the South. From that period I have j
been led by the same devotion to the South, to
advocate the policy of acting with and sustain- ‘
ing the Northern Democratic party, because I ‘
saw and knew for myself, that that party was,
as a body, thoroughly imbued with just feel
ings and a friendly bias towards the South, and
aeted habitually under the influence of such
feelings.
“Under these circumstances,and entertaining !
these convictions, it is of course impossible for ;
me to identify myself with any party in Geor
gia, under whose banner 1 would inevitably, as
1 >elieve, soon find myself in a position of al
liance with the National Whig Party, and of
hostiluy to that National Democratic'Party, to
w lc 1 * have long been attached, which I hay£
just helped to carry into power, and in which
! 1 still have confidence, although some things
have transpired in appointments to office by
the President, which I could have wished had
been otherwise.
“Nevertheless, being an optimist in politics,
(if I may borrow a phrase from that great states
man, Mr. Buchanan,) l shall continue to sup
port Gen, Pierce’s Administration, and to act
with the party by which it is supported, until
something shall occur (which Heaven forbid)
making such a course no longer the best which j
a Southern man can pursue.
Your obedient servant,
A. H. CHAPPELL.”
LETTER FROM COL. JOHN COLLIER.
Decatur, August sth, 1853.
Col. John Collier:
At a convention held at this place, on the *2d
inst., by a respectable portion of the Unjon par
ty of this county, for the purpose of nominating
candidates for the Legislature, it affords me
much pleasure, as President of said Convention,
to be authorized to announce to you, that you
were selected as one of the candidates for the
i Representative branch of the Legislature, and
solicit your acceptance of said nomination. An
early reply is desirable.
Yours, very respectfully,
WILLIAM EZZARD.
Atlanta, August 6th, 1853.
Hon. Wm. Ezzard :
Dear Sir Your favor of the sth inst. has
been received, in which you (as the presiding of
ficer of a convention, held at Decatur on the 2d
i inst., composed, as you state, of a respectable
j portion of the Union party of DeKalb county,
| for the purpose of nominating candidates to be
I run for the Legislature,) are pleased to commu
nieate to me the intelligence, that I was by that
convention selected as one of the candidates for
the Representative branch of the Legislature
in the approaching election, and request my ac
ceptance, &c., to which lat once reply, that I
must be permitted to decline the honor thus prof
fered.
It is immaterial to me by what name the par
; ty may be called over whose convention you
! had the honor to preside, and which selected
| me as one of the candidates for the Representa
tive branch of the Legislature. It is the party
that is opposed to the administrative policy of
President Pierce, as shadowed forth in his Inau
i gural, and opposed to the cardinal principles of
i the National Democratic party. It is the party
| that favors the election of the Hon. Charles J.
Jenkins, the whig candidate for Governor of
j Georgia, and the same party that favors the
| Federal administrative policy of the National
Whig party.
That being true, and holding the political op
: inions that l do, I cannot consent to be placed
!in opposition to the National Democracy, and
J the administrative policy of Gen. Pierce, as in
’ dicated by him in his Inaugural, and compelled,
! by force of position, to favor the heresies of the
! National Whig party. I can see no middle
ground—were there any, I have no desire to oc
! cupy it.
The issues of ’SO, that split up both the whig
! and democratic parties, and which called into
! existence the Union party, have been settled,
j and both National parties have in convention
| pledged themselves to maintain that settlement.
That being so, it was very natural for the mem
-1 bers of the Union party to dissolve their connec*
| tion, (which they did.) Indeed, it was inevit
j able—there being nothing upon which the Union
| organization could subsist. “Where there is no
’ fuel the fire goeth out.’’ Hence in ’52 the Union
! democrats went heartily into the support of
| Pierce and King, the National Democratic can
didates for President and Vice President. The
! Union whigs went where ? Scattered, some
j for the democratic nominees, some for General
| Scott and Graham, some for Webster and Jen
j kins, and others for . So you see that
the dissolution ot the Union party in ’52 was
I complete, (it previous to that time having ful
filled its mission,) and I must confess, that I can
! see no necessity now for resuscitating it, if it
could be done. You and I maintained in ’SO and
’sl, that those vexed questions having been
settled, agitation should cease—peace and quiet
he restored—that the country required it. lam
of that opinion now, and therefore do not desire
to revive the party bickerings, criminations and
recriminations of’so and’sl, when I can see
no good that can result to the country from it.
These are some of the many reasons that
have induced me to decline accepting the honor
tendered.
I thought it proper, as well as due to myself ]
and those who did me the honor to place me in i
nomination, to make the statements that I have, j
in order that my position might be known.
Whilst I may feel under very many ohliga. I
tions to any portion of my fellow-citizens who j
may he disposed to honor me with a post of i
some distinction, I must be permitted, at the I
same time, to pursue su;h a course of policy, :
in political matters, as shall, to my mind, most
effectually tend to promote the best interests of
our whole country.
Very respectfully’, your ob’t servant,
JOHN COLLIER, j
[From the Cassville Standard.]
TO UNION DEMOCRATS.
As we consider that we are, and always have
been, a Union democrat—aye, a full blooded one,
too, we claim the privilege of appealing to them
at this time. VVe know that efforts are making
to induce you to abandon, indirectly, your cher
ished principles; your prejudices are appealed
to-you are told that new principles have been
engrafted in the democratic creed—that the right
of a State to secede at will, is henceforth to be
a cardinal of our party! It is true
that there * are men in the democratic party
that hold these views, but they hoid them not
as democrats, but as individuals. Wo pro
test against the right of any man to proclaim
the principles of our party ; that is left alone to
our national conventions; and at our last na
tional democratic convention the platform of our
principles was distinctly set forth, and upon
them Gen’l Pierce was elected, and he is look
ed upon as the representative of our party; and
until he deserts or abandons that plattorm, all
democrats are bound to give him their adhesion
and support. No one has charged Gen’l Pierce
with an open desertion of our principles, but he
is blamed for appointing men to office whose
antecedents give no guarantee of their devotion
to the faith of the democratic party. Admit
ting this to be true, and that they were impoli
tic, yet if he carries out in good faith the prin
ciples upon which he was elected, he will have
discharged his duty, and there is no cause of
complaint. Then wo hold it to be the duty ot
all democrats to support the administration and
its friends, and oppose its enemies. The enemies
of General Pierce are the opponents of the do- j
mocratie party ; and in the approaching Guber- j
natoriil election let no democrat support Mr.:
Jenkins—if he does, he indirectly abandons his j
partv Mr. Jenkins makes war upon the ad.-
ministration—he thereby makes war upon the
democratic party ; he is the enemy of our prin- j
ciples, open and avowed. Let Union democrats j
pause before they vote for Jenkins, if any have
thought of such a thing. You cannot do so up- i
on principle, and never let your prejudices thus
govern your judgment. The principles ot the j
democratic party have not changed—they are
the same now as in the days of Jackson, and
we look upon him as having been nearer em
bodying itc principles than any other man. VVe
are a democrat of the Jacksonian school, hon
! estlv, sincerely and devotedly. Mr. Polk was
one of his followers, and wo have no doubt hut
that General Pierce will prove to be the same.
THE VOICE OF THE UNION.
; We invite the attention of the Union Demo
crats especially to the unanswerable arguments
i addressed to them in the letter we to-day pub
| lish, from J. A. Turner, Esq., of Putnam coun
tv. MrJTurner was a Union Democrat , un
| der the late division of parties in Georgia. He
went as far in the support of his party and his
| principles as any member of that party. But
| being a friend to the administration, and looking
forward to a cordial support of President Pierce,
| he very naturally gives his sympathy and aid to
| the men and the party in his State who stand by
and defend his Administration.
The citizen conservatives, alias Federal
Whigs of Georgia, have not exhibited their
usual sagacity and cunning in the arrangement
of the present campaign. They hoped to
eeive the Union democrats, but neglected to
( fortify their position in relation to the national
democracy and the Administration.
Union democrats have confidence in the
Platform of Principles laid down at Baltimore ;
they cherish the highest respect and the warm
est affection for the noble leader who bore the
banner of demoracy so proudly and victorious
ly in the ever memorable compaign of ’52.
j They aro not yet prepared to join Mr. Toombs
: and Mr. Jenkins in their crusade against tho
■ man of their choice. They intend to continue,
j where they have been, national democrats, and
! all the arts of their enemies will be powerless
1 to swerve them an iota from the path of duty.
The letter of Mr. Turner is forcibly written,
; and will do an acceptable office in many por
; tions of the State.— Federal Union
Remember, that the Toombs and Stephens
party got up at Milledgeville, no matter by what
; name called, opposed Pibrcf/s election and
are against his administration. Mr. Jenkins,
! the candidate for Governor, and every candid
i date they have placed in nomination for Con
gress, voted against Pierce and are opposed to
democracy. Will any democrat support them ?
: I will not.
A Dodge. — When Deacon Y got into a
had position, he was very expert in crawling
out of it. Though quick tempered, he was one
of the best deacons in the world. He would
sot in a sober moment utter an oath, or any
thing like one, for his weight in cider.
At the close of a rainy day, he was milking
upon a knoll in his barn-yard ; one side of which
was a dirty slough, and on the other an old
ram, that, in consideration of his usual quiet
disposition, was allowed to run with the cows.
The deacon was piously humming “Old Hun
dred,’’ and had just finished the line ending
with “exhalted high,’’ when the ram, obeying
1 a sudden impulse to be aggressive, gave him a
blow from behind that put him up a short dis
’ tance, only to fall directly into the slough, where
the dirty water was deep enough to give him a
thorough immersing. As he crawled out, and
before he rose from his hand and knees, he
looked over his shoulder at the ram, and quietly
vociferated—
“ You and and old cuss!” hut, looking around
and seeing one of his neighbors at the bars
looking at him, he added in the same breath,
“if 1 may be allowed to use the expression.”
[Carpet Bag,
The Custom-house Frauds at San Francisco.
—Amongst the documents ordered to be printed by
the Senate at its special session was the report ©f
Gilbert Rodman, Esq., who was sent to San Fran
cisco by Mr. Meredith as special agent to investi
gate the frauds alleged to have been committed by
the late collector, James Collier, Esq. This report
disclo.-es a series of the most astounding violations
of law in the fraudulent appropriations of thepubl.c
money by the collector at San Fr .nffseo that have
ever been brought to light.
From Mr. Rodman’s first letter, dated August
loth, 1850, we are enabled to make the following
statements:
In rnosr of the cases of seizures of French ves
sels and their cargoes for alleged violations of the
navigato i act of 1817, the vessels 1 a l b en restored
in obeoience to instructions from the department;
but the cargoes had been sold, mostly at private
sale, by Mr. Collier, prior to the reception of in
structions for she restoration of cargoes. The
hooks of Mr. Collier showed no account of these
sales, and he failed to furnish any to Mr. Rodman, !
attaches to his report a sivorn statement by J. S. 1
Kuckel,from which it appears that he purchased!
from Herman H. Green, the known agent in behalf
of the collector, all the seized and unclaimed ‘mods I
and merchandise in the custody of the said codec
tor as aforesaid, and that he after wards joined with
him in the purchase one Edward Byrne ; they
were to get the goods at the lowest market price,
and the said Herman H Green was to receive one-
Ihird •/ she profits made on said gtods ; that the
said Byrne aftetwards bought out the in erest of
said Green at eight thousand dollars in cash : thai
the amount paid by Ruckel and Byrne fortheuoods
was $21030, and that upon the sale ot them they
r alized a profit of about $20,000. J rom al! w hie’
it appears that the collector, through his agent, Mr.
Green, pocketed eight thousand dollars as his snare
of the speculation, in addition lo the $21,000 paid
for the goods by Messrs. Kuckel and Byrne. These
facts are also verified by the statemnnt
Byrne, which is also attached to Mr Rodman s re
poit. Mr. Byrne says that he knows that the pro
ceeds of said goods, amounting to $21,000, “went
into the use and possession of James Collier.

Congressional Election in the Second. District
of Alabama.
The Macon Republican and the Alabama Journal
will neither of them accept our explanation of the caus
es which led to the defeat of Clopton and the election
|of Abercrombie in the 2d. Dist. ict. We may as well
I say here, that, in our opinion, the lukewarm support,
or rather quasi opposition of those two Journals to Cap
tain Abercrombie contributed very much to the result
of the election. It drove off the Scott Whigs from
him, and confirmed the Southern Rights Demcorats in
their purpose of supporting him. This by the way.
In confirmation of our opinion that Captain Aber
crombie owes his election to the coalition of the Web
ster Whig* and the Southern Rights Democrats, we
submit the following facts.
In Barbour county, Cochran, the Southern Rightfl
candidate for Congress, beat Abercrombie 456 votes,
two years ago. Abercrombie carried the county this
i year against Clopton by 105 votes. Here then is a
I gain on Abercrombie’s part of 561 votes. Where did
i they come from ? It is well known that the leading
; Whigs in the county went for Clopton; and that
; Messrs. Pugh, Bullock, Colby, and many other “Dis
unionists,” voted for Abercrombie.
! In Ilenry county, Cochran’s majority two years
ago over Abercrombie, was 130, while Abercrombie’s
majority over Clopton was 427, showing a gain in this
Disunion county of 557 votes —given of course by
“Diaunionists.”
In Dale county, Abercrombie got only 11 majori
ty in 1851 ; he eariied the county against Clopton by
488. In Coffee county, Cochran beat Abercrombie 37
votes in 1851 ; in 1853, Abercrombie beat Clopton
79 votes. In these last mentioned counties, Aber
crombie evidently received the votes of 593 “D
unionists.”
So m Montgomery county, Tucker’s Store gave
Abercrombie 120 majority, and Pine Level gave him
j7O majority. These were both “Disunion” beats in
I 1851. But in Montgomery city, a strong Whig pre
| cinct, Clopton beat Abercrombie 112 votes.
We have already referred to Macon county, the
Whig banner county —where there was a change of
about 1000 against Abercrombie.
These facts speak for themselves. They conclusively
! show that Capt. Abercrombie’s election is to be attri
buted to the votes of the Fire Eaters. If they had
j voted for Clopton the defection in the Whig ranks in
j Macon alone would have ensured his election.
We are not a little amused at the efforts of the Jour
! nal to show, after the election of Capt. Abercrombie,
that he was elevated to his high office by Whig votes,
when it showed so little zeal before the election
to bring up the Whig column to his support when the
canvass was progressing. If the gallant Captain had
been beaten, how different would have been the style
|of its editorials. The fact is, the Captain has triumph
\ed over his own party; he holds its destiy in his
! hands; and hence the labored efforts of the Journal to
| conciliate him by the assurance that he owes his elec
: tion lo the Whig party.
The Journal does not understand the term “Scott
Whigs.” They are commonly known in the second
district ot Alabama, as the Montgomery clique; they
are Whigs who supported Winfield Scott for Presi
dent of the United States, notwithstanding he was de
nounced by the leaders of the Southern Whigs as the
nominee of the Abolition wing of the Whig party.—
j They are now particularly engaged in denouncing the
: Abolition and Freesoil appointments of Pierce, though
, their own candidate announced in bis letter of accep
’ tance, that he would confer office upon any body who
j supported him, be he pro-slavery or anti-slavery, free
! soiler or abolitionist.

Fires.
There can be no doubt but that incendiaries are in
1 town. On Friday night, a stable on the river bank
was consumed. It was used by Pitts <fc Hatcher as a
: fodder house. On Saturday night, an out house in j
the rear of Mr. J. B. Strupper’s was consumed. On
Sunday night, another stable on the river bank was set
on fire and burnt. The object of the incendiaries, it j
seems, is not to do damage so much as to call public ■
attention away to a particular point so that they may
carry out some hidden scheme. We are told that all
the inner prison doors were found open one day last
week. Let the city watch keep a sharp look out.— I
There is some villainy in the wind.
