What we Imv Expect. It would be well for the people seriously to enquire hat they are to gait)in thee- Jectiju of Mr, McDmuhlJ nrr the tri uropb ol his party .Let u.s for a moihwff imagine him insrallen into office, and backed by a Legislature whose opinions and feeling are in harmouy with his own. j Having taken ground in the canvass a. ! gainst thesoleino action of the Slates last j winter in Convention assembled by which Georgia ww conimited to aaquiesre in the cuuiproniise measures, and (lie peo- pie having elected them with a full knowl edge of their sentiments, of course, the popular will, as expressed through live ballot box, will form the basis of execu tive and legislative action. No sooner does be assume the Gubernatorial robes, than all the prerogatives ofliis bitrli office will he exercised by Governor McDons aid to place Georgia in nit attitude of re. instance to the General Government. As President ol the Nashville Cohvetitiou, he w Mice/ himself bound, ifi good faith, | to execute its behests. A special mes sage will the re rare dojbtless be despatch ed through his private secretary, to both Houses, approx i.og of the call of a South ern Congress by the Nashville Conven tion, advising the election ot delegates to Congress, and recommending the neces sary appropriation to defray their tx paw s. This will constitute Appropria tion No. 1. i he design of this Southern Congress, as we learn froth a distinguished member of the Naihvitle Convention, is— -Ist. To require, by solemn resolve, that Congress shall rescind the Wilniot Proviso as applied to the Territory of Oregon. 2<l. Remand California back* into ter \ritoria| pupilage, and only receive her a ||ujn its a State .with circumscribed boun daries and the slavery clause in her con. siiintion rescinded. ,J|rd. Require ilia repeal of the law pro liibititig i lie slave the Distr^^j 4th. In case Congress tefuses compli ance to these demands, to recomfnend immediate secession and (he organization of a Sotithern eonfederaev. The foregoing will give the reader an insight into the plans of the Nashville patriots. Every one must perceive at a glance, that if consummated, they must inevitably lead to disunion. This Messrs. Rhett and McDonald knew—this they still know— this they all know. Having put Georgiu in an altifuile of defiance, the next step will be to imitate Sooth Carolina, and put Iter in a candi. tion of defence. For this purpose money will be required. South Carolina last winter appropriated three hundred thou sand dollars for the purchase of arms, ammunition, kc.. to enable her to carry” out her doctrine of peaceable secession.— As Georgia is a much larger State, a lar ger sunt will be requisite say’ five hun dred thousand dollars, to prepare her for peaceable secession. As under the v ery guardianship nurture ol Gov. McDonald the old Central Rank died in his arms, leaving the people to pay its funeral ex penses, it would he highly desirable that he should give the people a second exhi bition ofliis financial skill. It is true, as in the case of the Central Bank, the peo ple may have to pay the piper ; but what oj that? With cotton at five cents, and no baccn and corn to feed the children and negroes ; a tax of four or five dollars per head should be given to enable Mr. McDonald to try Ids hand at peaceable secession, and profitable banking; and al so, in association with Ivir. RlieU to furn ish, out of the ruins of the present wretch vd apology for a government, a inodi-l Republic fir the South. But in all seriousness, we would ask the people if they are willing to he sad dled w ith enormous taxes to carry out the Quixotic schemes of the Nashville dis nuionists l Look at the tax bills of South Carolina and Mississippi under the rule of the disunion—Msuns and Quitman ! Should McDonald and his party succeed —which Heaven forbid ! —we may anti cipate the same state ol things in Georgia. At the opening of the Legislature, an ap propriation of Irom three or five hundred thousand dollars w ill be urged to enable Georgia to imitate the ridiculous example ol South Carolina. Fellow Citizens, will; famine casting its gaunt shadow o ver the prospective, are you ready to plunge yourselves into difficulties that know no terminusf If so— vote for CHARLES J. McDonald, the pres sdent of the Nashvill Convention ! Hume Cuurie. From the Suvuniuih Republican. A PiiruHi t-Joim Forsjrth and Howell Cobb. Thecircumst.litres wifirh now surround Howell Cobb arc very analogous to those which surrounded that glorious son t.f Georgia, John Forsyth, during the ex citing day Notification ii 1832 and’33. Forsyth, then a Senator from Georgia in the Congress of the U Idled .States, was one of the first men to step forward in the defence qf the Union of the States.— After having battled for the Union in our Slate in the Summer and Fall of 1832, he continued (he goob fight in his place ut Washington. Oobb lias done the W” - . , . ,T > ■ | same—lie lias supported tjie -Union at home in his own. .State and at ‘Washing ton. Forsyth, was at the time of the com mencement of the Nullification contest, trading democrat with a national repn.j la t ion. Cobb, before the Compromise ocrtipietr*fi position in the Democratic party equally as distinguished as that of j Forsyth. Aftfc eH'h had acted decidcd tlv fir the Union, men in 1*833 and in ISS!, made the wonderful discovery that they were renegades. Ask any opponent of Cobb in what particular he ha.s violated bis principles as a democrat, and be fails to .point it out. To lie sure, the Federal Union, whose wires have been pulled for the lust five years by a certian pink ot judicial piety (who wireil the last Georgia Convention, bv saying lie had contempt for the whole pack,) says it was always opposed to his vote on the Oregon Bill. But no demo crat ever pretended to read Howell Cobb out of the party for that: or he would have been obliged to read James K. Polk out with him; and that was rather too strong even for many of the self-con stituted judges of Democracy in the State of Georgia. Well, Forsyth and Cobb had each] earned for themselves distinguished nas dona! reputation. Os course, Forsyth was older man at that time than Cobb is now, and had served abroad in a diplo matic mis.ion; yet young as Mr. Cobb is, the distinguished ability with which be filled the Speaker's clctir, libs conferred the highest natronaF reputiow* ‘upon him.— Now in relation to tliiS'Vory kind of reputa tion, thniejw ! always individuals who enact the jva** of the Fox in the well known fable ol .-Gfop, is depreciating the fruit they can mil readi. In each case, tlio charge of a corrupt ambition after Federal honors was made. Now when Howell Cobb was elec ted speaker of the House, there certainly was great re joy ring amongst the Democrats of Georgia. No single Democratic press charged any undue ambition upon him. Mujbii as in Forsyth's case, the moment he p|Hk|Liiii>sel[ into the ranks as a champion of the Unit; change came o’er the spit it da their dr , eanii|wic l •rillkugkh’ low abuse of his motives and character have hern urciibi ted by the very presses Which tbnjipriy up- Thc abuse of Mr. Cobh is contiiiqed daily, and there is no use of reciting it here. 1 will content myself with .laying before my readess, a few toasts given at the Slates Rights festival at Forsyth Monroe County in honor of the lion. J. M. Berrien, on the 20 1 ii June, 1833. It must be remembered that Forsyth had voted in the Senate for the Bill known as the force Bill. Os this bill, and of the opinions held in Georgia about it then, I may give some reminiscences in a future communication. The following are the toasts: Sent by Wilkins Jackson, of Jones—John Forsyth : When he shall he judged let him be condemned: Let his prayer become sin; let his days bo few, and let another take his office. By W. H. Mitchell, of Hillsboro—John Forsyth: Georgia’s apostate Senator, who glided into the Gubanotoiial chair upon his own boasting terms, lam always leadyj’or trunk In 1832, when called upon bv the people ol Georgia in their sovereign capaci ty to come to trial, skulks off with the poor pitiful excuse, 1 am not ready.’ * Sent by Cutbhertjßeese Esq., of Hillsboro. Forsyth and Wayne. Deserters for their political ranks, gone over to the enemy; may they he tried by the citizens of Georgia and condemned to he exiled from the office for life. By Ishtim S. Rainey, of Newnan—For syth and Wayne being weighed in the bal ances, ate found wauling; may they receive the just retribution of an indignant people. These anathemas bad no effect or. the brilliant career of Georgia's favorite.son. — Death mowed him down at a moment when the Democracy of the whole Union had be gun to turn their eyes-to him as the next Democratic candidate for PiosidoM. Had he lived up to this time, it is easy to decide upon which side lie would now lie found. The man who so boldlv did bis duty to his country in 1833, would not shrink from any responsibility now. To be sure, in this case we would have had a queer spec tacle presented to us, of the son lecturing the father, John Forsv th, jr, the present editor of the Columbus Times, would be called upon to stigmatize his father as a submissionists.— That, bv the way, was the very epithet that used to be applied to ns Union Democrats of 1833. John Fursvth supsorted and voted for the Forco Bill, a Bill which Mr McDuf fie said hurried the Constitution. Can it be doubted that if alive he would have suppor ted tlm Compromise of 18501 1 think not U is fairly presumable that Howell Cobb will survive politically all the aSusn heaped upon him. He lias been highly complimen ted by the fact that the very men who had voilently opposed him on the old party issues of Wbiggery and Democracy, were the first to suggest Ids mime us a candidate for Gov ernor. The charge of his being started in Washington City is supremely ridiculous. It is notorious that lie was spoken of us a candidate during the session of the Georgia Convention last Fall. lie firmly seated in die affections of liie pewplu of Geoigin, hence his nomination, lienee, the spontaneous ex pression of opinion in his favor from every section of the State: A Bright lewaid uwnits him. The peo ple will confirm his nomination by a majori ty never liefote given to any candidate. A Union Democrat of 1832 &, 1833 The present crisis is an important one, and the people of Georgia should be very careful how they make their choice,— Howell Cobh is the man. fk 1,, -, jyq | 9 | | —JggSi THE S#TB.rVEsfSmAN OGLETHORPE, FRIDAY, AUGUST 22,1851.

No Planter need fear to entrust his business with them that he desires faithfully’ attended to. also call altenlion to the Ad vertisement of Henry Lothrop, of Sav. The Secession Hobby. We cannot for our life see the necessity of discussing the right of secession in the present political canvass, unless the party who are urging the discussion and claiming the tight, are determined to exercise it by forcing Georgia to secede from the Union. It is certainly useless to be contending for'a right, when the party contending have no de sire to exercise that right. A few of the dis union party admit there is no call for imme diate secession, but from the tone of the se cession papers and speakers, it requires no extraordinary efi’urt to discover that seces sion or dissolution of the Union is what the great mass of the party are striving for,and if thwerted in the latter for the want of the co-operation of other States, they are des perately determined to accomplish the for mer. r I lie Union party of Georgia have never denied the right of secession as a remedy for unconstitutional impositions upon a State, which is plainly to be seen from the 4th res olution of the Georgia Platform. That res olution declared, that upon the happening es certain things, Georgia would resist, even to a disruption of every tie that binds her to the Union: This is all that any man can desire, unless he is in favor of immediate disruption. But the McDonald party say they are in favor of peacable secession, well, if the un happy day should ever arrive that made se cession necessary for the good of the State, there is not a Union man in it but would pre- fer its being done peacabty , but nt th ■ same time, the Union party hold that it is wrong for a single State to exercise the right of se cession, unless she lias the consent of all the ollmr Sihies, as such an act would, perhaps, injure them, and thereby be a violation of the obligations of the Federal Compact. We are of the honest opinion tlmjf if Mc- Donald is elected there will bq an effort made to bring about secession. Suppose this should be the case und Georgia, under his administration sliunld secede, even peac ably, who would be able to bear the tremen dous taxation that would necessarily have to be imposed upon the people, to support the young republic of Georgia? But can sho cteedn pencnhly, even if such a right wn acknowledged by all? We believe not, tile interests -of all the Slates are so identified that it would be impossible. Then it must be done forcibly to some extent or not at all, Here* we would find created at once a civil war, and an additional tax imposed to carry out that war. Who is prepared for all this? Certainly the Disunion party are led on j blindly by a set of ambitious, black-hearted office seekers, who as a last resort for politi cal elevation, seek to build themselves on the wreck of their country. They ceitainly do not see the end to which their political course is tending, or they are untrue to the cause of liberty. Voters of Georgia, will you support a man for Governor who is weded to Disunion, and thereby destroy your peace mid prospetity as a people and as a State, involving your selves in war and will you turn about and support a is laboring to restore peace and hanKpis to the country, through the influencehon orable compromise?

We give below some extracts from letters, received from highly respectable gentlemen in different portions of South Western Geor gia, together with extiacts copied from the Union Banner: Brooksvili-e, Randolph Cos., August 10.- Cobb’s Prospects in this section arc daily growing brighter—Me. and Disunion don’t seem to lake well w ith the ‘wool-hat boys. Homestead, Macon Cos. August 16—1 have just returned fiotn a tour through Lee, Randolph and Sumpter counties, and wher ever 1 have been, Howell Cobb will carry everything by storm. In some portions of these counties you cou’.d hardly find a Me.. Donald man with a starch- warrant. Cobb’s speeches have gained him hundreds of votes. Fort Gaines, Early Cos;, August 12. l have strong reasons to believe that Early will come out right side up yot. Cobb’s speeches have settled the question, he will get a small majority in fire-eating Early. Cijthbf.rt, Randolph Cos. Aug. 10.—The cause of the Union is steadily advancing, Cobb will get a larger majority than was giv en for the Union Idst fall. Buena Vista, Marion Cos Aug. 15. Politics are raging high here, the Fire-eaters’ are daily abandoning their unholy warfare against the Union. Cobb’s majority in this county will be overwhelming. Knxville, Crawford Cos. Aug. 11 Our cause is gaining ground, the few who v in the beginning of the canvass, were peisuaded to leave us are docking back to the support of the Union. Crawford will do her duty at the approaching election. Rome, Floyd Cos.. July 29th.—I am just front old Habersham—saw Gen’l Wofford —who says Habersham will give Hiliyer and Cobb the largest majority ev er given in llie county in proportion to i tlie vote. Ttfc gable’ end is all right.— Don’t if the sth and 6th ivex Cobb 10,000 majority. Gainesville, Hall Cos., July 25.—The nomination of Cobb takes well here. 1 think we can safely calculate upon a ma jority of 400 in the county. Our Con gressional and Senatorial candidates ore very strong. Palmetto, Campbell Cos., Aug. Ist. The canvass is r.ot yet fairly opened in this County. Cobb is decidedly stron ger now than he was a month ago. All the people want is correct information. McDoNALD and WASHINGTON- The Southern Advertiser , a small sleet published at Buena Vista, Marion coun ty, in its disregard ot truth, surpasses even the Federal Union in the palmiest days of the Bull-Frog Regency , In his paper of the Dili inst., the editor j takes to give the whereabouts of J. He says: ajfl Positively be is in the samejdpflbn as ‘ that which Washington, Jef ferson Mudisoti and the old cowardly tories occudffTn the revolu tionary war! ! Am W as hingUmi^^jjHp|ust! Washing ton in f a v<y*pdes(royThg the very gov cn*iHcny*jpi he perilled his life and ! Washington, Frank jppb Jefferson and Madison, all labored to firanie the present constitution. Is it likely that they thought they were man ufacturing a bom-shell to blow the Union to atoms! If tins were all true, and the Buena Vista Editor had been the first to make the discovery, he would certainly have been doomed to immortality ! It appears however, from another article in this pa per, that the discovery was made some where out West—that a certain Mr. Ruf fin of North Carolina, attempted recent ly to avail himself of it, by first cutting it out of a newspaper, then pinning it into the life of Marshall, and then reading it out ol the life of Marshall, to the people yf Nor'h Carolina J He was caught, exposed, disgraced and defeated as he ought to have been. Any man who would attempt such a fraud is worse than Murrell himself. Benedict Arnold was a gentleman to him. Ar nold did attiempl to betray his country; hut nold never was base enough to slan der George Washington. Journal Messenger. WASHINGTON, NO SECES, SIONIST. The people are requested to be very cautious how they receive the statements of the disunion orators and presses. Thev are evidently driven to desperation and are resolved not to hesitate at any means however dishonorable, to accom plish their purpose. Candidates for high offices have been detected recently in the most disreputable and disgraceful con duct. Look at the following instance. We copy the North State fVhig —one of the most reliable papers in North Caro lina, the following article: Fraud Exposed. —in the course of the discussion at Bath between Messrs. Stan ly and Ruffin, the latter attempted to prove that Washington favored the doc trine of secession. He opened a large book and read his authority lor the asserv lion, remarking before be commenced reading, 1 have you, sir, (turning to Mr. Stanly) on this point/ 1 can prove that Washington admitted the right to secede. in replying Mr. Stanly held the book up before the audience, open at the place where Ruffin had pretended to read from, and reader, w hat do you think w as there ? Why a slip cut from a newspaper, and pinned on one of the leaves of the book !! ! The audience were struck dumb with amazement —the Democrats hung their heads—that a man aspiring to represent an honest, intelligent people in the coun cils of the nation should be guilty of so rascally a piece of meanness. Mr. Stanly very effectually exposed the fraud, and showed from the file of Wash ington written by Judge Marshall, that assertion that Whshinglon ever favored secession was a vile slander of the Father of his Conntry. in reply to a question asked hint by Mr. Stanly, Ruffin said lie cut tfie slip from a paper printed in Choc taw county Alabama !! ff/®* Tl)e following article is from our paper of the 29(he July last, We repub lish it, because we think it proves bey ond the possibility of a doubt that Judg Mc- Donald does not stand upon the Georgia Platform. It is now nearly four weeks since the article first appeared in our columns, and it has not been replied to by AleDcnald’s organ in this city, nor, as far as we know, has there been any at tempt made by any of bisorgans elsewhere in the Slate, to answer it.—Now that friends are attempting to re vive the impression that he is standing up ?>n the Georgia Platform, we reproduce the article and chalenge a refutation of it. Savannah Republican Charles X Mcdonald and the Georgia Platform. It is commonly asserted by the advo cates of Charles J. McDonald that he stands on the Georgia Platform. Noth ing has been plainer to see than the utter annihilation of any politician in Georgia, w ho might place himself in direct opposi tion to the deliberately expressed opinion of the Convention of 1850. Hence all the restless and dissatisfied spirits of the times, even whilst they shew- that, in heart, they disapprove of what the Convention did, merely seek to gain political ascend’ ancy by projessing acquiescence in its ac tion. This hypocrisy is becoming so apparent that no true lover of bit coun try as it is—no sincere advocate of the Union as it is, can fail to see We say, without fear of successful ccm tradiction, that Judge McDonald” „ ot on iheGeorgia C\d\(ormg£)otl as he had himself there ;tly and above board, so he has not pttnuing enough to jpt there by any 0 f I the devices which lie may practice. W# J think that we have the most convincing J proof of w hat we say, and we proceed to its adduction. The third resolution in the series of resolutions adopted by the Convention, rerds as follows: Thirdly, That in this spirit, the State of Georgia had maturely considered the action of Congress mbraceing a series of measures for the admission of Califor nia into the Union, the organization of a Territorial Government for Utah and New Mexico, the establishment of a boundary between the latter and the State of Texas; the suppression of the slave trade in the District of Columbia; and the extradition of fugitive slaves; and (con nected with them) the rejection of propo sitions to exclude slavery from the Mexi can teritories and to abolish it in the Dis trict of Columbia; and while she does not wltoly approved, will ab;de it as a per manent adjustment of this sectional con troversy. Now, Judge McDonald, in his letter of July 3d James Cantrell, esq, r (pub lished in the Georgian) says:—‘l know of no adjustment by Congress of the sla very and Territorial question. The measures so called, contain not a single element of an adjustment. Is Judge McDonald on the Georgia platform? h his declaration in his letter to James Cantrell consistent with the third resolution of the Georgia Conven tion ? The fact is that the Candidate of the Resistance parly is bolder than the Con vention which nominated him. That Convention had not temerity to say it placed itself on the Union Platform: It was, undisguisedly against it in letter and spirit, as all its resolutions show. Will any honest man then, in search of truth, believe Judge McDonald, or any of his newspapers, aiders and abettors, w hen lie or they shall again say he is on the Geor gia Platform. We hope that the Judge will write, and write on, for his fate will become that of all demagogues in the end —entanglement in the snares which they set for the people. “Oh ! that mine ene my would write abook.”— Republican. THE UNION NOT YET SAVED. If the disiinionists are serious about oc cupying the Georgia platform, why do they not ground their arms of rebelion f Why do thpy not exhibit the modesty of strange company ? Why do they not, like true repentant*, take the lower seats at least, until they are invited by the people to occupy the posts of honor'?— Why do they not act as if this platfrom belonged to the men who toiled and struggled for its construction ? The truth of the matter is, the disunt tonists still cherish their burglarious in tents. They are unwilling to occupy the Georgia platform unless they can drive the Union men from it. They do not love it half as much as they pretend.— They are driven to it as a house of refuge for the present. They propose to occu py it only until the wrath of the people is assuaged, and until they can concoct and mature fresh plans to destroy the Govern ment. This purpose is plainly shadow ed forth in the sth Resolution of the AL ‘ banv platform. That resolution was concocted by a committee of Fire Eaters at Columbus.- It is said to have been drawm by Mr. Benntng, the disunion candidate for Con gress in the Second District. What doe* it declare? Jt pledges them to remain on the Georgia platform so ’ long, and so long only —“a* the will of the people oj Georgia remains unchanged Now suppose these men should by any accident get the power in the State.Jk. Suppose McDonald and Benning and Stell and (heir allies should carry the fall elections by tlieiy trickery and false pro fessions. Would they not declare that the popular will had been changed, and pro ceed at once to carry out the schemes of the Nashville Convention. Judge McDonald approves of the prov position lor a Southern Congress, clothed’ with power to dissolve the Union, to pro claim the independence of the South ancf to establish a Southern Confederacy - How long before he would ask the Legis- Uture to authorize him to issue writs for Fithjflection ? How long before Georgia and Carolina would be at open sea ? How longbefore a conflict would be up. on us ? Hjuv long before the people of Georgia would be taxed millions to sup port armies and navies and diplomatic officers ? j. The truth is, if lie people of Georgia desire to enjoy theft* present prosperity and happiness, the sqoner they put all these agitators down (Im; better. Jt will not do to defeat them by a small major!* ty. They will not cease to excite the people until they are given to under stand by some stern and overwhelming rebuke, that they can never succeed ex cept in the contingencies named in th
