The very Latest.
Macon, Oetober 8, 7 1-2 o’clock, P. M.
Johnson’s majority in Irwii is 276. and unless Clinch
gives Jenkins more than that, Johnson is elected. lie
is 760 votes ahead, with Clinch to hear from.
Seward is 221 votes ahead of Bartow, and Clinch to
hear from.
The Governor’s Election.
We give the official and telegraphic returns from all
the counties in the State exoept two. The returns have
been verified as far as possible by reference to local pa
pers and private advices. W r e believe our list is as
correct os can be obtained at this time. In the 97 j
counties heard from
Johnson’s majorities are 8,799
Jenkins’ “ “ 8,806 —7 ahead.
In the county of Irwin the majority of Towns over
- Hill in 1849 was 296. In the county of Clinch the
whig majority in the congressional race between Jack
son and Hopkins in 1851 was 161. If these two coun
ties vote in this election as they did in the elections
above mentioned, Johnson is elected Governor of Geor
gia by a majority of one hundred and twenty eight
votes.
We think there is a mistake in Union county. W e
expect to gain 200 on this vote. In Gilmer we may
gain 200.
Complexion of the .Legislature.
In the Senate the Democrats have elected 27 Sena
tors, und the whigs 24. In the House the parties have
elected each 39 members. We have returns from only
53 counties. In Effingham and Bryan we have not
learned who are Senators. They will probably be a
stand off.
Austria and America—Mr. Marcy’s Letter.
The correspondence upon the subject of Koszta’s ar
rest by the myrmidons of Austria in the port of Smyrna
is entirely too lengthy for our columns. It fills eight
columns of the Washington Union. The subject, how
ever, is one of such vast importance, especially to for
eigners resident in the United States, that we cannot
pus it by without notice. The following abstract, it is
believed, contains a foil and fair statement of every po
sition taken on either side.
Mr. Hulsemann to Mr. Marcv.
The Austrian Consul General in the East, Mr.
DeWeckbecker, had caused Martin Koszta, the Hun
garian refugee, to be arrested and carried on board the
brig Huszar; Koszta hnd left Turkey in company with
Kossuth, and though pledged in writing, never to set
foot on Ottoman territory, had broken liis pledge by re
turning some months since to Smyrna. His release # \vas
demanded by Mr. Offley, United States Consul, and
Captain Ingraham of the Sloop St. Louis, on the ground
that he was naturalized in the United States ; both of
whom had it in their power to learn from Koszta him
self, that he was not a citizen of the United States and
had no passport.
The American Charge d’Affairs at Constantinople
then demanded his release from the Baron de Bruck,
Austrian Minister at Constantinople, upon the plea
that he had taken some steps to be admitted as an
American citizen, and two days after forwarded to the
Baron a copy'of a “declaration of allegiance to the
United States,” signed by Koszta in New York, on
the 31st July last, to which was attached a defective
certificate. The Baron refused to release Koszta upon
th ground that Koszta could not expatriate himself so
long as the ties which bound him to Austria were not
legally dissolved.
The declaration of allegiance to the United States is
utterly worthless, as there is no proof that it is a legal
document, and it is merely a declaration of intention ,
on the part of Koszta, to become a citizen of the United
States.
On the morning of the 20th July, Mr. Ingraham of
the St. Louis, sent a message to the commander of the
Huszar, that in pursuance of instructions from the
American Charge at Constantinople, he demanded the
delivery of Koszta into his hands, and if he did not re
ceive a satisfactory answer by 4 o’clock, he would take
him by main force. Both commanders prepared for
battle, which was only prevented by the Austrian
Consul General consenting that Koszta should be con
fided to the custody of the Consul General of France at
Smyrna, until the difficulty was settled.
There are two questions involved in this discussion.
Ist. The question of jurisdiction. 2d. The formalities
in virtue of which the pretensions of the agents of the
United States have been urged. Koszta has never
ceased to beau Austrian subject. The laws of Austria
do not permit voluntary expatriation. The declaration
of Koszta on board the Huszar in presence of Coin. In
graham, shews that he still considered himself an Aus
trian subject. By the laws of the United States, a
declaration of intention to become a citizen is not suffi
cient to make him such. The United States refuses
to give possports to individuals in this category. As,
therefore, Koszta was an Austrian subject, the Aus- j
trian official was perfectly justifiable “in virtue of those j
treaties which subject Austrian subjects in Turkey to
consular jurisdiction,” when he seized Koszta. But
the mode adopted by the American officials to settle
the matter in dispute is particularly objectionable. It
was a real hot of war committed in full peace on neu
tral territory, and an outrage on the principles of the
law of nations 5 aud the imperial Government has no
doubt but that it will be condemned by the Govern
ment of the United States.
(Mr. A. here recapitulates the facts already stated as j
to the hostility demonstrative of Capt. Ingraham, and
quotes authorities at length to show that the power to j
declare war appertained to sovereignty, and could not
safely be intrusted to commanders of the naval or milita- |
ry forces or of diplomatic or oonsular agents. He also
quotes authorities to show that the law of nations abso
lutely prohibits all acts of war and violence in neutral
ports even against an enemy in open war •, and refers
particularly to the history of the United States, and
the opinions of Mr. Webster to show that the Govern
meat of the United States was particularly jealous of
the rights of neutrals, and concludes as follows.)
The imperial Government entertains too high an [
opinion of the sense of justice and of integrity of the I
Government, and of the United States, to doubt for a
■ingle instant, its anxiety to disavow the conduct of its
agents, under the circumstances above mentioned, and
that it will hasten to call them to a severe account, and
tender to Austria a satisfaction proportionate to the King- ■
mtude of the oatrage.
Mr. Marcv to Mr. Hulsemann.
The President has carefully considered Mr. Hulse- j
mann’s note, with a view to ascertain the nature of the ;
complaints, and to give Austria such satisfaction as she
was entitled to receive.
The Austrian views are very different from the Pres- j
ident’s, and hopes by an exposition of his own to change
the Austrians. It is the duty of the Secretary to pre- i
sent these views, and he does it in a friendly spirit. To j
bring out conspicuously the questions involved, it is ne- j
eessary that the facts should be more fully stated.
Koszta was a Hungarian by birth, and engaged in the !
Kossuth Rebellion, and took shelter in Turkey at the j
close of the war. The extradition of the Hungarian j
. refugees was demanded by Austria, and firmly resisted j
by Turkey, They were confined at Kutahia, but were
j at length released with the understanding with Austria
that they should go into foreign ports, and most of
them indicated the United States as the country of their
I exile. It is not true that Koszta left with Kossuth or i
; engaged never to return to Turkey. To this sentence of
banishment Austria gave her consent and superintend- 1
ed the embarkation of the exiles. Koszta came to !
I America and selected this country for his home. On
| the 31st of July he made a declaration of intention to
become a citizen of the United States, and renounced
all allegiance to any other State, in legal form. After
remaining here one year and eleven months he returned
! to Turkey on private business, in an American vessel,
! and the United States Consul at Smyrna and the
; Charge at Constantinople extended protection to him
1 and furnished him with a teskeret , or letter of safe
conduct, as by Turkish laws they had a right to do.
His conduct in Turkey was blameless; while waiting for
an opportunity to return to the United States, he was
seized by a band of lawless men, who had not any color
of authority, treated with violence and cruelty and
thrown into the sea. Immediately thereafter he was
taken up by a boat’s crew, lying in wait for him, be
longing to the Austrian brig of war Huszar, forced on
board that vessel, and there confined in irons. These
desperadoes were instigated to this outrage by the
Austrian Consul General, contrary to the authority of
the Turkish Governor of Smyrna.
The American Consul, as soon as he heard of the
seizure of Koszta, intended with the Turkish authorities,
the Austrian Consul and the commander of the Huszar
for his release on the ground of his American nationali
ty, and Koszta’s original certificate of his having made
a declaration of intention to become an A mei ican citi
zen was produced at Smyrna and an imperfect copy
placed in the hands of the Austrian Minister at Con
stantinople. All efforts for his release had failed, and
it became notorious that he was to be clandestinely
conveyed to Trieste. Opportunely the St. Louis arriv
ed in the harbor of Smyrna, and Capt. Ingraham having
satisfied himself of the truth of the foregoing facts and
of other evidence of bad faith on the part of the Aus
trian officials, demanded Koszta’s release, and threatened
! force if his demand was not complied with. The priso
j ner was, therefore, delivered to the custody of the
French Consul.
In order to arrive at just conclusions, it is necessary
to define Koszta’s political relations with Austria and
the United States when he was seized.
There is great diversity of opinion on the subject of
allegiance. By some it is held to be an indisputable
tie ; by others as a civil contract dissoluble by mutual
consent, but not at the option of either party ; but the
soundest opinion is, that a blameless citizen may at any
time renounce his allegiance, quit the land of his birth,
and form new political ties ; and especially is this the case
where the sovereign power is oppressive and tyrannical.
Municipal regulations on this subject have no force
beyond the limits of the countries enacting them ; and
where questions of this sort arise between two sovereign
States, neither has a right to appeal to its municipal
laws ; the law of nations must settle the question be
tween them. The law of nations has rules of its own
on the subject of allegiance, and disregards ail restric
tions imposed upon it by municipal codes.
No State can demand from another even a fugitive
from justice as a matter of right. International law
allows no such claim. Much less does it enjoin the
surrender of political offenders, (and in this class Aus
tria places Koszta;) but on the contrary, a compliance
with such a demand would be considered a dishonorable
subserviency to a foreign power, and an act meriting
the reprobation of mankind. (Mr. Marcy then briefly
recapitulates the occurrences which took place in 1849
and 1850 in relation to the reclamation of Polish refu
gees in Turkey and Russia, and of Hungarian efugees
by Austria.) The demand was made in concert by two
powerful nations while their armies stood on the borders
of Turkey, with power to erase her name from the list
of nations. They both placed their demands on higher
grounds than a right of extradition under the law of
; nations ; they attempted to strengthen their claim by
| founding it upon the obligation of treaties—the same
; undoubtedly that are now urged upon the considera
tion of the United States. Turkey, however, refused
to surrender the fugitives, and Austria and Russia both
submitted to the refusal and neither presumed to im
pute to Turkey a breach of her duty or violation of their
rights. (The views of the English and French Minis
ters resident at Constantinople and of the French and
English governments are given, fully sustaining the
conduet of Turkey.)
It is an incident of great significance that some of
the most important questions involved in the case of
Koszta were raised in 1849, were discussed throughout
Europe and decided against Austria, and especially the
claim founded on treaty stipulations with Turkey for the
extradition of Austrian subjects. This question was fully
examined by Lord Palmerston and the claim of Austria
repudiated- Ali Pacha and the Turkish Minister for
Foreign affairs both deny the existence of any such
treaties and informed the America Minister that Aus
tria had refused to surrender Turkish rebels on the
ground that the treaties did not provide for the extra
dition of political offenders. Even the Turkish gov
ernment has protested against the seizure of Koszta as
a violation of its sovereignty ; but utters not a word of
complaint against the conduct of the American func
tionaries. This is an anomalous case. Austria
arraigns the United States for violating the rights cf
Turkey ; while Turkey exonerates the United States and
protests against Austria, our accuser, for the same
offence.
Admitting the validity of the treaties referred to,
and yet Koszta ought not to have been surrendered un
less lie were an Austrian subject.
By the procurement of Austria, Koszta was sent into
perpetual banishment. He was thus placed beyond the
protection of Austria. He was thus released from his
allegiance to Austria.
Koszta when seized at Smyrna was not an Austrian
eubjeet for the further reason that by a decree of the
Emperor all Austrian subjects who leave the dominions
of the Emperor without permission, and with the inten
tion of never returning, become “unlawful emigrant*’*
and lose nil their civil and political rights. Koszta
j had left without permission, had forfeited all his civil
1 acd political rights—aud was an outlaw. He had in 1
Austria no redress for personal wrongs, and no claim
out of it for protection. What right can a sovereign
have to the allegiance of a person reduced by him to
such a miserable condition ? In Koszta’s case it was
al'owed.
Seme stress is laid upon the declaration of Koszta
as to his citizenship. Koszta never acknowledged that
he was a subject of Austria. He said “1 am a Hun
garian, and will live and die a Hungarian.” In his
mind no two things could probably be more distinct
from each other than Austria and Hungary. Those
who acted in behalf of Austria have no right whatever
to seize and imprison Koszta.
To place the jurisdiction of the American agents still j
further beyond controversy, it will now be shown that j
Koszta when seized, had the national character of an :
American, and that the Government of the United ;
States had the tight to extend its protection over him. ;
There can be no question of the genuineness ofKosz- i
ta’s certificate, a certified copy of which is furnished as <
on record in New York.
It is not pretended that this initiatory step in the j
process of naturalization invested him with all the civil !
l ights of an American citizen. It, however, clothed j
him with an American nationality, and authorised the \
government of the United States to extend to him its
protection at home and abroad. Mr. Hulsemann falls
: into a great error by assuming that a nation can pro
perly extend its protection only to native born or natu
ralised citizens. This is not the doctrine of international
: law. It gives the national character of the country to
! all residents in it who are there with or even without
j an intention to become a citizen, provided they have e
! domicil therein (This position is fully sustained by
, reference to numerous standard authorities.
Apply these principles to the case of Koszta, and the
j inevitable result is, that he was domiciled in the U.
States. The establishment of his domicil here then in
| vested him with the national character, and with that
j character he acquired the right to claim the protect
: ion of the U. S.
Was Koszta clothed with that national character
| when he was kidnapped at Smyrna ? The national
character, according to the law of nations, depends
upon the domicil and remains as long as the domicil is
i retained. Domicil cannot be lost unless the domiciled
i person leaves the country of his residence with the in
! tention to abandon his residence and acquire a domicil
jin another. The facts show that Koszta was only
I temporarily'absent, with no intention of remaining in
| Turkey, but was at the time of his seizure awaiting an
opportunity to return to the U. S.
Whenever an individual becomes clothed with our
■ national character, be he a native born or naturalised
; citizen, or an exile driven from liis early home by
1 political oppression, or an emigrant enticed from it by
! the hopes of a better fortune for himself or his posterity,
lie can claim the protection of this government, and it
may respond to that claim without being obliged to
explain its conduct to any foreign power, for it is its
duty to make its nationality respected by other nations,
! and respectable in every quarter of the globe.
This is no new doctrine, now for the first time
brought into operation by the United States. It is
common to all nations, and has had the sanction of their
practice for ages ; but it is new that, at this late period,
when the United States assert a claim to it as a com
mon inheritance, it should at once be discovered that it
is a doctrine fraught with danger, and likely to eompro
mit the peace of the world.
The conduct of the United States officers is further
! justified by the peculiar laws of Turkey and other Eas
tern nations by which consulates therein are allowed to
receive under their protection strangers and sojourners.
Persons thus received become invested with the na
tionality of the protecting consulate. The law of na
tions recognises and sanctions the rights acquired by
| this connection.
The Secretary fully sanctions the course pursued by
the functionaries of the United States, censures that of
! the Austrians, and while professing a perfect readiness
to make all proper explanations to Turkey for any sup
posed invasion of her sovereignty, utterly refuses to al
low’ Austria to question our conduct. The Secretary
also admits that only the sovereign power can declare
war, but can see nothing in the conduet of Capt. In
graham to justify the inference that his acts were a vio
lation of the public peace.
j The application of Austria to other European powers
is condemned. The President refuses to disavow the
acts of its agents and hopes Koszta will be released.

Mr. Everett on the Kosta Affair. —“If the circular,
purporting to be addressed to the Ministers of Austria,
is authentic, that Government complains of Capt. In
graham’s aot as a menace of war and a violation of
the neutrality of Turkey.
“But in both respects the wrong and the outrage
were on the side of Austria. Kosta was residing at
Smyrna, as we learn from Mr. Brown, under the protec
tion of a taskeret granted by the Turkish Government
at the instance of the American Charge d’Affaires, who
interested himself in his favor because he had declared
his intention to become an American citizen. Wheth
er this circumstance entitled him to such protection was
a question for Turkey to decide according to her laws
and usages. Under these circumstances I cannot con
ceive that the Austrian Consul had any more right to
send an armed force than he would have had, two
years ago, to send an armed force up to Kutayeh to
seize the whole body of Hungarian forces.”

New York, Sept. 20, 1853.
Gentlemen—ln an editorial article in your paper of the
17th instant, I am charged—Asst, with making “furious
abolition speeches in the Senate of the United Statesand,
second, with the rhetorical “flourish” ot “a cordon ol free
States surrounding the South and compelling slavery, like
a scorpion encircled by fire, to sting itseltto death.”
These imputations are alike unfounded. 1 never made an
abolition speech in the Senate or out ol it—l never uttered
or entertained the sentiment above attributed to me—and I
qall on you to produce the evidence on which your asser
tions were made.
Your own sense of propriety will ensure the insertion of

[Calhouu’K Works.
We are"pleased to notice that the second volume of
the works of the “Great Southerner” bns been issued by
D. Appleton & Cos., Nett York. We hope our Booksel
lers at the South, will purchase a large supply and thus
bring to the door of the Southern public the almost inspi
red wisdom of the greatest, purest and profonudest States
man the country has produced since “the Fathers” fell
asleep.
W e are pleased to see that the North appreciates the
volume of this publication. The N. Y. Courier & En
quirer says :
“This volume contains all the reported speeches deliv.
ered by Mr. Calhoun in the House of Representatives and
the Senate, from 1819 to 1837, thirty-six in number. A
large variety of subjects are discussed—The War Meas
ures of Madison’s Administration, the United States
Bank, the Tariff, Internal Improvements, States’ Rights,
Removal of the Public Deposits, General Jackson’s Pro
test, Executive Patronage, Abolition Petitions, the
Public Lands, Ac., &e. ; hut all have a striking identity
lin mode of language and argument. Search the w hole
! through, and you cannot find a figure of rhetoric, but it
j is all welded logic, sometimes defective, it is true, in im
i portant links, but everywhere the work of marvellous
j skill. Mr. Calhoun's speeches ought to have a place in
j every library, by the side of Mr. Webster’s Though on
j almost every important question offered, they illustrate
| and enforce each other, and, combined, they give a dear*
! er and deeper view of the great principles w hich lie at
; the foundation of republican and constitutional principles
; than can be obtained elsewhere in the whole scope of
| English literature. No tenet, either in religion or poli
, tics, can be thoroughly understood until its opposite has
j been faithfully examined. The question of greatest im
| portance in this volume—the State Rights theory—which
i Mr. Calhoun did more to develope and define than all
j other men together, must long form one of the most pow'-
erful elements in our political controversies. It is no soon**
; er disposed of in one form than it is sure to arise in anoth
er. Every man who would thoroughly understand the
diverse tendencies of our political system, and their bear
ings upon party measures, must acquaint himself with all
the aspects of the State Rights doctrine ; and to do this,
it is indispensably necessary to know how Mr. Calhoun
vindicated it, as well as how Mr. Webster combatted it.
This publication is one of standard and permanent value,
and the publishers deserve praise for giving it to our ciun
! try in so excellent a style.”
The N. Y. Herald speaks in the following terms :
“ The Works of John C. Calhoun. —We are indebt- ‘
ed to D. Appleton & Cos., of No. 200 Broadway, for the
receipt of the second volume of the “Works of John C.
Calhoun,'’ which has been just issued by their house. The
work is edited by Richard K. Cralle, and the arrange
; inent of the highly interesting political matter which it
! contains is as creditable to liis talent and industry, as the
! style of art in w hich the book is brought out is to the taste
and spirit of the publishers. The volume now before us,
extends over five hundred and sixty-two pages, and in
cludes all the speeches made by Mr. Calhoun from the
year 1811 to the end of the winter of 1837, with some of
j the more early oratorical efforts of the great statesman,
| which have not heretofore appeared in print. “'Hie
j Works of Calhoun” will form an invaluable addition to
the libraries of our people, as they must ever be read with
| pride, pleasure, and profit, by the American patriot, the
; orator and the statesman. The speeches delivered during
i the war of 1812 possess extraordinary interest—flashing
! as they do with the ever varying, brilliant, and resistless
i eloquence of the gifted South Carolinian. The ability of
j argument with which lie carried the country upon the
■ question of the declaration of war against England,
;in opposition to the massive, but pacific, facts
j urged by his Senatorial competitor, John Randolph,
| against him, cannot be fully understood unless by the pe
j rusal of the work. We heartily recommend the book.*’
