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. &imes nitt? Smtiuel. COLUMBUS, GEORGIA. WEDNESDAY MORNING, AEG. 24, 1853. FOR GOVERNOR: lIERSCIIEL V. JOHNSON, OF BALDWIN. FOR CONGRESS: Ist. DISTRICT JAMES L. SEWARD. lid. DISTRICT A. H. COLQUITT. Illd. DISTRICT DAVID J. HAILEY. IVth. DISTRICT W. 11. W. DENT . Vth. DISTRICT E. W CHASTAIN. 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. * ; Fir*. Shortly after five o’clock, in Savannah, on the 21st inst., an alarm of fire was given, and it was soon ascer- ; tamed that several buildings on Montgomery-street, in ■ the South-western part of the city, near the Quoit Club Ground, were burning. There is little water in that ‘ part ot the city, and before the engines got prepared to j throw w ater on the fire, four tenement wooden buildings, on iot No. ]4, were consumed. They were the pro perty of Messrs. E G. Wilson and R. D. Walker, who had but lately purchased them from Mr. John Doyie. I The houses were one-story buildings, nearly new, and ! were probably worth £2,000. There is an insurance on the biddings in the Southern Mutual Insurance Com puny, of this city, William King, Agt., but to what amount we could not learn,— News 2ls£ 1 A W ashington dispatch say* it is understood that Mr. T. Butler King, who is now in that city, has failed to : satisfy Secieta y Guthrie *in relation to the charges re cently published concerning his administration of the San Francisco collectorship. Capt. Gibson's Case. —Capt. Gibson, the recently liberated prisoner ot the Dutch authorities at Java, is said to be engaged at Washington making out a brief of his case for presentation to the President at the next Cabinet meeting. Mr. Belmont, it is asserted, has al ready been instructed to make the ease a matter of in quiry at the Hague, and it is probable w ill receive ad ditional instructions looking to positive action. Capt. Gibson, according to the statement of a Washington correspondent, desires the enforcement of his claim for sß2.< 00 damages awarded him by the Dutch Court. When this point is disposed of, he will ask to be sus tained in his right to grant made him, by one of the Dutch East Indian Princes, of a large and valuable coal region, from which, he says, he can supply a supe rior quality of fuel at four doliais per ton. — Baltim American. More Trouble Expected in St. Domingo. —The good understanding that has long subsisted between Gen. Santa Ana, President of the Dominican Republic, and Ex-President Baez, it is said, has been suddenly interrupted, by a decree of the former. Batz is de clared guilty ol treason ng.\inst the Republic, and exiled from its territory. No particulars of the alleged of fence for which this sentence has been passed upon the Ex-President are given, but it is feared that the quar rel likely to result between the partisans of Santa Ana and Baez, will endanger the peace and independence of Dominica. Escape of the Lady Suffolk. —It is slated that the slave ship, the Lady Suffolk, alias Eclipse, alias Mary, has escaped from the hands of the Cuban authorities at Laguna de. Terminus, and is again at large on the ocean to carry on the pursuits of her owner, i, e. to en gage again in the English “apprentice system.” It is reported that information has been received from Judge Sharkey, the American Consul at Havana, which corroborated to the fullest extent the statements published concerning the secret arrangements between England and Spain for the abolition of slavery in Cuba. The majority for the Maine Law in Michigan is 19-, 030, with Chippewa county to be heard from. Gov. Cobb has appointed the Hon. W. W. Holt, Judge of the Superior Court of the Middle Circuit, vice the Hon. A. J. Miller, resigned. Hopkins Holsey, Esq., is announced an a candidate for Congress, in the Sixth Congressional District. This makes five candidates in that District. Cumberland, Md., Aug. 19. The Cholera has broken out at Cumberland, Md. The deaths on ’Wednesday last numbered 14. It is now subsiding.

A New Reading of Shakspeare.- —ln a country town “down East,” a democratic newspaper was | .-tarted, depending mainly for support on the con | tributions of the “faithful” in that region. Its mot ■ to was— | “Be just and fear not.”—Shakspeare. An old farmer, who had been quite activein pro moting the interests *f this news paper enterprise, took up tiie first number and commenced reading it, with laudatory comments. As he read the motto, his face flushed whh honest enthusiasm, and he ex claimed : “Fear not Shakspeare ; no that we won’t, nor any other darned old Federalist!” Remarkable Birth.— A mare, belonging to Chas. B. Hill, of this oily, foaled, on Saturday last, a mule colt and a horse colt at one birth. Both are alive and doing well. Old horse dealers in this region have never known a simi lar incident. Liver Disease. — Carter’s Spanish Mixture, as a remedy tor liver disease, and the number of formidable evils con nected with a disorganized state of that organ, is unrival led. Hundreds of certificates, from the highest sources, ot per sons now living in the city of Richmond, Va. f migl t be giv en ot cures effected by Carters Spanish Mixture. We have only room to refer to the extraordinary cure of Sami. M. Drinker, Esq., of the firm of Drinker &, Morris, Book sellers, Richmond, Va., who was cured by two bottles of Carter’s Spanish Mixture, after three years’ suffering from diseased liver. He says its action on the blood is wonder ful, better than all the medicine he had ever taken, and cheerfully recommends it to all. See Advertisement. August 12—lm. A Remarkable case of Scrofula cured ly Holkrcay’s Ointment and Pills. —The son of Mr. Alliday, 209 High street, Cheltenham, when three years old, was afflicted with Scrofula in the neck, and the disease increased so fearfully, that in four years he had ten ulcers on his body, besides a tumor between the eyes. The best medical treatment afforded him no relief, the blood being so corrupt that it was considered impossible to subdue the disease. At this crisis Holloway’s Pills and Ointment were resorted to, and with great success, for in two months the boy was soundly cured by their use, and he has continued well for the last three years. August 12—lm R. R. R. In ten minutes cured the Gout. —Mr. M. Edgecomb, an English gentleman, residing in Waverly Place, New York, had been troubled with the gout for six weeks.
