Gaulden, which lias kindled, into* blaao. the fines whifch have been smouldering in my bosom for years. Mr. Ganlden with a wisdom for whieliTie alone ii distinguish ed, sees in the small, vo.e which he received for Congress, the most conclusive evidence of 1 his strength among the poople. Tlio “ hon est*veomenry of the land'’ were fraudulent ly induced to think that 001. Seward was stronger than himsolf, and thereby he lost four thousand vote*; a proceeding which ! ought and doubtless will call down the just (indignation of every right-minded man.- What right had aay body to make the peo ple think thus, or indeed what right bad the ’ people to think at all I I say, that as Gol. Gaulden was tb# tegular nomiuee by the lar gest Convention ever held in the District, be 1 ought to have thought for them according to the “time honored usages of the I am excited, 1 confess greatly excited, ou this subject, for although our cases aro not precisely alike, ypt tny own position is *0 similar to that of the Col. that ha has my warmest sympathies. There are nearly one hundred thousand votes in the State of Geor gia, and I am sure that seventy-five thou sand are in favor of myself for Governor.— It is true that 1 have nover-been nominated, and in this, toy position differs from that of the Col., but the very fact that I have never received a vote in any nominating Conven tion, is conclusive beyond the “ shade of a shadow of a doubt,” that I am tho choice of the people. Independent candidacy seems now to be the order of the day, and two years form now I expect to offer my servi ces to the. State. In that canvnss I have ‘.entire ‘confidence to use tho language of tbe CoL that the Democratic party will do m* justice, aud more especially that those sev enty-five thousand friends Who reluctantly sacrificed me for what they considered tbe success of the party, will take the first op portunity to repair the injury which they have unwillingly inflicted on me. 4 * I.nrr<* from little fountains flow - Tall uchnf from Jirtio toe-corn* grow.” lint I will not pursue this subject farther.

IHE DEMOCRATIC IARIY OF lfcT CONGRESSION AL DISTEICT OF GEORGIA. <rT~^ MiBt.HAVKN, Liberty county, ) October lu, 1857. ) \Ye have just passed through, a strange land excited campaign. The nominee of (the party has been defeated, whilst au iude i pemtent candidate, self-nuiuijuated, has been j elected, by- a large majority. At the result ; 1 have personally no regrets to express, no j cuiuphiints tout.er. Though defeated Lfeel Ine t . r i-n.-t down n t dishonored. 1 wonld prefer defeat with the smiles of an approv ing col science, to success :-t the exjense of ptrTKe- ingniMt irle, voii.rted promises-atrtLhi<>- k -nvows.

V '” j l would not un necessarily obtrude myself upon the public, yet I feel it due to myself, to tiie country,. to niak'e-AtisihSpdse of tbe | means wii icL tmve Item used to defeat me. (in the loth of July last, I was almost innmiinottsly nominated by much the largest Democratic Convention ever asembied iu the i District. A convention representing more intelligence, more virtue, and more diameter b_v far than any that has .ever assembled in the District, Mr. (Seward being present ~ai that Convention and vut.es. (*u the same day-he, ip-declaied him self an independent candidate a* lrr back a* ; December last. He immediately commeucod the work of slander and de'r.iCfton aeainst me j ami tiiat t'om ention followed by a set of an jouyumns writers in tbe variou* jiuhlie prints. 1 .wua-assailed by every avenue through which slander aud detraction could reach any Gnrati utterly regardless of the obligation | which lie was under tp mesiuce 1853, which : obligations and promises 1 have proven up on Inn; try five disinterested witnesses. ; Aftcr having exhausted their skill and j ingenuity in tiiis regard, and prepared the public mind to n certain extent, within the last few weeks they charged their batteries w ith another kind of- ammunition to-wit: Tlpit jhe (Gel. G.) was the weaker man of •4lie two candidates 4 that to vote for,Mr. Bar- American candidate ns any diversion ot the votes from Mr. Seward would be to elect Mr, IL T his argument was stereo typed through the newspapers, reiterated* again and again throughout tlie length and breadth of.tiro District, rehearsed a-t -.every j cross-road, every bar room and grog shop, and neighborhood, messages sent and written from county to county, backwards and.for j wards, until the Democracy became convinc* 1 ed of its truth nnd induced to heleive that lo vole for me ,would not only be losing their | vote, but tii effect would be, to vote for Mr. Bartow. Under this pressure, many, very .many, of my warmest friends . deserted me, ami 1 have no doubt that Ibis argument (fatso in its inception, ami only true so far ns tho j assertion-was calculated to-produce its own . fulfillment) lost mo four thousand votes. — ImiTiudintely on the eve of the election, I am informed flint reports were circulated iu va rious counties that I had declined nnd with , drawn my name. Such a report was startod in my own county, and had I not got home tlurday before the election, I should proba bly have got hut lew votes there. Another report that in alliance with Mr. Bar tow*.to beat Mr. Seward... It would fill volume td write all tire- misrepresentations .•tnd|falsehoods that wore circulated to decoivo. the people. Suffice it, they were deceived and imposed .upon, and induced to repudiate the time honest usages ot the jinrty in regard to the nominations. They have established the precedent for independent candidating which may result in the ruin of the party, nnd at the bidding of one mail. “Hewho of aid could r< ad the oak, : Dreamed lot of tbe re! ouud.” ‘” .
