Every one nt all familiar with die Mining events of t(, e lust 18 months, knows full well, that causes entirely t'.rr luitous, occasioned the severance oI old party ties, ami tin? abandonment of old polUical platforms—An issue overshad owing and swallow ing up all others, al most without die knowledge, and entirely without the ci nseni of a majority of eftli.-1 er parly, was suddenly nod unhappily j spin trg upon the country—an is- i sue involving die very existence hi the j Constitution and the Union.

CHARLES J. McDonald was president of that con vent ion, and signed the death warrant of the old political parties in Georgia. Aud yet the people ore gravely told that tilt new order of things is the result of Whig trickery ! Now, we unhesitatingly declare, that in the whole movement which has resul ted in the dismemberment of old and the formation of new parties in Georgia, Whigs have been tlie led, railier than the leaders. They have been and are still, willing to waive all minor consider ations, ami to Itel in the present great struggle for Constitutional Liberty, that there is neither w(pg nor democrat, but that 7 all Union men are their political confederates and brethren. have a letter from :m esteemed tiieml and gentleman ol camden county, proposing to have a public mealing at Centre village on the 23d inst., and re questing us, if possible, to obtain the ser vices of some of our public speakers to address the people on that occasion.— This is an important canvass in Georgia. It is perhaps the first time in our history when we have bad before us the issue ot Union or Disunion, presented fur our decision. That is-ue is now verily upon ns, and it depends upon the enlightened judgement of the people in their choice Ibr Governor, whether or not Georgia will link herself to the care of Carolina seces sion and with her rush on in the mad cn reer of the disttpionists, into thee bvss of Revolution and liar: “As terrible as it is unnatural.” W'e appeal then to our Union men who are eloquent in speech, it’they will not, in ibis hour of peril, make some small per sonal sacrifice for the safety and perpeto iiy of our liberties ? \\ ill not smoe one or more respond to the call ol our friends in Camden county!* Our people aie lions esl, in their motives and action.

Jackson modified and exp-Wfned away bis views upon the right o| secession, as contained in Ids Procla mation and Notification Message. This is not so. Aml ran Jackson Dona lon, i.it?” present Editor ol the Washington Union, was Gen. Jackson’s private Sec rtf ary at tin? time, and utterly denies the fai t. In the Union of July 3rd, Major Donulson, has a long article in which he : denies that Jackson, Madison, or any of the Democrats of their day, believed in die right of a State to secede. He then adds: ‘Equally unfounded is the insinuation that Uen, Jackson’s proclamation was die | composition ol federal minds, and was nf, lerwards amended iri order to sati.-fy the scruples ol an offended democracy.— General Jackson never, by any act of his hie, explained away the meaning of his proclamation. The publication authori zed by him conioins the fullest proof dim all assertions to ibis effect were gratui tous and unfounded. Indeed, the very passages ol that document which were ap proved by that portion ofhis cabinet which were never suspected ol a federal affinity. There is not a sentiment in that document w hicli mi limit's against tbs Vir ginia resolutions; there is not a word in it which General Jackson ever consented to modify or to change; not one that am member of his cabinet desired to change, either Alien or since, that ever we have heard 0f.4 Nor is it true to say that Mr. Livingston wo,s the dim docu ment. ii was pui iiitoioini chiefly by him, because it w as a document to be recorded in the Slate Department; but inessential features were drawn up iinrnedimkly un der die direction and dictation of the Gen eral himself. Indeed, when presented to the cabinet it underwent important, chan ges and particularly in the features which the constitution was formed, and die mode in which it bound all the people under one common and united government. RFIETTS. ENDORSEMENT. The Richmond Enquirer, the leading democratic paper of Virginia, makes the following remark in reference to the recent speech of Mr. Rlietl endorsing his friends Me Donald and Quitman : “Mr. Rbett’s cheering reference to j Quitman and McDonald will excite the I storm of indignation in Mississippi and [Georgia—and unless those gentlemen shall promply and emphatically disclaim all sympathy, on their part, for the blind and reckless movements ofMr. Rhett and his brother disuniooists of South Carolina their defeat w ill be among tiie most over whelming on record.” lias Gov. McDonald “promptly and em phatically disclaimed all sympathy for the blind and reckless,ntovemntsof Mr. Rhett and his brother disunionistsoi South Car olina r” Not he. There are lon many Car j olinians in this State, and too many of Ids supporters are rank disunionist,” for him |to do any such thing. That is not all. Rhett knew his man. He knew hissenti mems, and would not have claimed him .is one of liis colaborers, if lie had not been certain of il. The fact that McDonald has not ’’disclaimed all sympathy with him, is conclusive proof of liis disaffection* to the Union, and his disire for a ’’South, ern Confederacy'.” Eet ‘the people re member this. He is claimed by Rhett— he has not denied the claim—and his fail ure to do so shows it is well founded.— So vannah Republican: A Strange Confession. —The South ern Press, the disunoion organ printed at Washington City, takes to itself great credit for having influenced the Abolition, ists to acquicesce in the Compromise : /t may all be so.

New \ork Money Market* aug. 4.-The state of the money market, w hich exhibited evidence ol improvement at the close # of day, on Saturday, was’pro duced more by an over provision for the exigencies of the hour, than by any radi cal change in tlie slates of money. The mercantile interest begins to lee! with greater intensity the pressure of the mar ket, and as the Imnks particular discount enance the paper ol importers of foregin merchandise, and all credits that emanate ho in that source, it spreads a wider influ ence than persons generally believe.— 1 his refusal to discount importer’s pa per, does not arise from any want of con fidence in the stability of that class ol the mercantile community, as they are esteemed one of the most responsible a inong our business classes, hut from the belief that if the facilities anticipating ‘heir sales are denied them, thnl the im portations may he essentially checked, as a large amount of goods will he forced oil at auction, and the low prices ruling may induce foregin slippers to withhold their consignments. With this view the contraction will go on until it produces this result; we may therefore, forego any hope that the banks will do otherwise than keep the money market in a strin gent state lor some time. A large influx ol gold dust from Cali., fornia would inspire more confidence in the future, and release a considerable a moiint of priv ate capital which has been suddenly withdrawn from active use consequent on the absence of confidence hut from their steady course of contraction for the next sixty days. But extensive remittances from California would exers rise a salutary influence in calming the minds of (lie community, arresting the rapid decline of- prices, removeing the apprehensions of numerous failures, and dissipating the fears af a panic. The banks and the commuity having rested with confidence and security on the belief that the flow of gold frbm California would be undiminshed, were not prepared for such a reduction in the vaults of the hanks that small amounts required for the ordinary operations ol the interior alarm these institutions.

A Voice from Dooly, Messrs. Editors Will you allow me a brief space in your columns, to say a few words to my old friends ol the Demo cratic parly, with whom 1 have acted lor years, and with whom I still hope to la bor for the protection and preservation of the Union. For years past we have been together on the Calhoun platform of non-intervention. In our different conventions we have adopted and ap proved the following among other kin dred resolutions. Resolved, That the people of the South do not ask of Congress to estab lish the institution of Slavery in any of the territories that maybe acquired by the United Slates : They simply require that the inhabitants of eacli Territory, tliali he left free to determine for themseN ves, whether the institution of slavery shall or shall not form a part of their so cial system. It was on this platlorm that wejall rallied in support of General Cass. Why then shall we forsake the same principle now, when unbraced in the bills which have passed Congress ? Why dissolve the Un ion or raise the cry of resistance, because California has done the very thing which we resolved she had a right to do ? Why then break up this our glorious existing government, because California aban doned by Congress, left without law or government framed her Constitution, without serving the pupilage of a Terri torial probation. Why determine to re sist the laws of Congress, because slavea | ry was not established ? or in other words has not refpse to admit California, be cause she did not tolerate slavery in her Constitution ? These, my Democratic friends, are questions which I put to yon as honest, consistent men. Are you going to rally in support of Charles J. McDon ald who is the disunion candidate? are you going to abandon old party are you determined to forsake your greajfl conservative principle ? No never [jMuut ly in the support of the Hon. Jpiwell Cobb, who is the great ihMKbn of the South, and a devotedapend of the Union ol the Stales wither dishonor. For the honor of oqtfKlcestors let us not be deluded princi ples. interfered to es labbsli si aunt in California. And so we for the future. The VVil has been excluded from both gjPFmw Mexico and Utah bills, audit liVen has been repealed in a part Tex ‘as; And to all this the .fugitiie slave bill, and I ask you why in the name of com mon sense and reason, paate about re.-is tance. For my part I cannot do it.— Again are yon going to support a man who as recent as 1850 tried to destroy your noble form of governent, will you be forced into such an pernicious absurd position, You must recollect that the contest is a critical and perilous one, it is Union and disunion. /am happy to see that there are hundreds of old Democrats who like myself are resolved not to lei go the good old Union helm. May the Constitutional Union parly, who enter linris the most ordeni desire to perpetrate the blessings of this Union in true spirit of llic Constitution, gather from belli their ranks the wise and good of the land, and bring the government to the free and hap py policy of its great founders. If our Fire Eating friends will leave us, let them go and find allies where tliev can. PINDERTOWN. NINETEENTHSEN ATOR IA L CONVENTION.
