I wish to siy a fi>v kinti words lo my 1 old Democratic friends of the Second | Congressional District generally, ami those nf Rudolph county particularly.— Now dear, friends, (t am not writing to Ihe stump demagogues not isspirng poli- j ticians, but lo the study, honest, well meaning, yeoman Democracy) if you can be shown from their own language, j solemnly avowed, that McDonald and ! Denning are pledged to disunion when-! ever they may get the power, you will ! not, 1 know, hesitate to sav that you will [ not support them. Well, then, to the! proof; McDonald and Benning were in the second Nashville Convention—Mc- Donald was the leading spirit of that Convention, he was chosen its president, even jin preference to the hot-headed members from South Carolina. The Convention solemnly resolved—McDnald and Bevjning warmly nssending—‘that all ihe evftfmticina.cAv the South, which occasioned this Couvfa|y)n to have been realised by the ‘liulunkJo ex tend the Missouri line nf compromise lo the Pacific ocean—by the admission of California as a State, Sic.,’ and then fur ther resolved, that in consequence of these aggressions” they earnestly recommend the slave-holding Stales to meet in Con gress.” See. And with wlial view do recomend this Southern Congress ? Why, they then resolve that it is “with tlie view and intention of arresting far ther aggression and if possible of restoring the constitutional rights of the South, and if not to provide for theirfu/ure safety and iudependance.” Yes, here it is, McDon ald and Benning declare that unless they can have certain laws nf Congress re pealed, they are in favor of INDE PENDANCE of the North, or disun I ion, which means the same thing. Yet these laws are not repealed, nor is there the slightest probability that they e'er ‘(ill be. Then, honesty and truth force us to the pledged to dissolve this Union ! whenever they may obtain the exquisitj power. Ji not this true ? Surely no honest mind in search of truth can arrive , at any other conclusion. With a full knowledge of (his fact—a , knowledge that McDonald stood pledged ] to disunion, that lie was ultra, radical and . pre-eminent at the South as such—reck- , less, aspiring rulers of thicr parly in the Convention at Milledgeville, chose him in preference to any other man in all the length and bredili of Georgia as their candidate lor the ofiice of Governor! Be now stands high as the highest, no one in all the South being able to over top him as an ngiialor and disunionists. Even the palmetto chivalry hail him as co-equal with themselves; they declare that ‘his cause is their cause.’ But 1 am told that they—McDonald and Benning—have changed their views, they are now upon die Georgia Platform. No, no, 1 deny this in to to. They have written letters, and marie speeches, in which they have thrown out insinua tions innuendoes from which it might he inferred that they are or are not on the Platform, just to suit the ernmergenev of the case, flow forcibly does their course inwards the Platform bring to mind the lines of Pope : “Damn with faint proisc, assent with civ il leer, Am! without sneering, teach the rest in sneer; W illiug to wound and yet afraid to strike, I Just him a fault and hesiatc dislike ; Alike reserv’d to blnri.e, or lo commend, Atiinesous foe, and a suspicious friend. The truth is as clear as if it were written with a sunbeam that they, McDonald nnd Beaming, and a ma/oniy of their nd iierents, are now l*u| feigning themselves Union men for the pu-wose of clandes tinely attaining place and 1 and if successful, they then would tell .. ,| ta , they, long ago, made nvw to independaut of tlie North and would then set about tearing down the pillers of the Union edifice, reared by onr rovolutinn futhers, and adored and upheld by our elder and latter Presidents.

That [ is the party who have been holding poli tical meetings and passing high resolves nf maintaining the rights of the South at nil haz.zards and to the last extremity. That is the party wlm have been conten ding for the right of Secession, as a pea ceable means of redress for the past and security for the future. Thai is the par ly who has feared that disunion would he unpopular, and only contended for the right of Secession to be exercised ! when the lime conies, and that is the par- j ty who admit that v,c have been de- 1 spoiled of our rights, that we have been degraded, insulted, outraged—hut who are willing to suffer on, if they can only j gel “the loaves and fishes.” Office!

[ jtion that* is quite another affair. They love their * tojcnliar institutions,’ and are ready to swear byjgJJUsrfteiMcred, tlia'C they will maintain their political lights ‘ at nil linzzards’ and ‘ to tlie lasi extrem ity ;’ BUT when repeated iiislhu#s of the most gross and aggravated Invasion of these same rights are pointed but to them, and they are asked to show their manhood and redeem their pledges, you will find lo your astonishment—that is, supposing you to be somew hat unsophis ticated—that— ‘ all, yes, to be sure, — timpli, haiv-e-e-e-ali—exactly—they cer tainly are in favor of ‘ resistance’—in n ‘ Pickw ickian sense,’ that is to say—of course they cannot think of giving up the right of resistance. And, indeed, as to that matter, they are ‘ secessionists’ in theory, and by no manner of means, in tend to surrender that ‘ vital right —on the contrary, they always intend to main- 1 I tain it on paper —and always mean to . [ avow it as a part of their creed— ‘ a-b - ; | S't-a-c-t l-y considered!’ , The right of secession, they maintain, < must never be given up, but then, if any one is so simple as to suppose they intend t it ever to be any thing else than a wort- s right, —if they are supposed to have any I intention of maintaining it, or using it in 1 any other way than to talk about it, they ; consider themselves very illtreated indi- 1 viduals—grossly abused patriots! Disunionisl!—not they ! ‘ Disunion is a humbug!’ is secession ‘ disunion ?’ Yes. Do they r.ot go for the right, of ‘secession?’ Yes. For what? To use it when the time conies. When will that time come? When our constitu* tional rights are trampled on and no re dress can be obtained in the Union.— Have not onr rights been already tram pled on? Yes. Have they any hope of finding redress in the Union ? No.— Then why do they not prove their hon esty, and ndvocate disunion ? * Lord, sir, how green you are!’ ‘ Office (not honor) is the subject of their storv.’— They fear disunion is unpopular, and they are running for office—for the loaves and fishes—no principles. Consistency, honor, patriotism! They are baubles with which politicians who are seeking office, either for themselves or their friends, amuse the dear people—nothing more ! A Hard Qustion to Answer. The Secessionists often involved tliem selvs in extricable difficulties by advan cing dogmas incident to their favorite (he* ory of the abstract right of secession..— /nterrogations are somtimes propouded to these politically illuminati, w hich it is exceedingly embarrassing to answer, nnd which cannot well be avoided, otherwise than by a dignified silence.

If this be \ the right of a Stale, it is one which it may at any lime exercise. Many the citizens | of Massachusetts were opposed to the last war with Great Brittain.

O. Cow. Bulletin. - . I Mr. Johnson in Dcotjr- I , . Vienna, Sept. 8, 1851^1 J Messrs hditOrs .‘--According lodre v ioiiß ! noiicp, a respectable number of-the citi | tens of Dooly assembled intdiyu*. place *• jrlay, to hear what might be said in the j cause of the Uuiotu —il was expected ! that an applicatipuAvould be made by the | opposition to f discuss the various qnes j lions, whicu would have been freely j granted: huji none was made nntil Mr. Wilson hart spoken sometime, when, on I application of Col. Dawson, he was as signed the hour nlloted to Mr. Brown, of Sumter. This -was declined by tlie Colonel. Mr. Wilson ably exponded the Compro.- j nilse measures, as being such as Georgia could honorably acquiesce in Mr. Brown followed in a speech re plete with argument, in the course of which he clearly demonstrated that the whole scheme of the Nashville Conven tion wus to destroy the Government; that the recommendation of a Southern Con grss, with poweMtudissolve the Union, which Gov. McDquald participated, proved him as much a disunion man as Col. Benning, who was in favor of the destruction of the Union and Constauj tion, (as in various places he has freely admitted.) and in lieu thereof, is in favor of the erection of a Southern CONSOLI DATED Republic—although, for the pres ent, he lias dodged behind the Georgia Platform, so long as the same re mains the unchanged will of the people,: BUT NO LONGER !! Mr. Brown j after having admonished the people to stand to the admonitions ol Washington, concluded. Then Mr. Johnson arose, andmost e- : qually and powerfully defended every po sition occupyed by the Constitutional ‘ Union party, and established beyond doubt, that every act and argument of the Fire-Eaters led to a hatred of the Gov ernment, and a dissolution of the Union. He refered in a most masterly manner to the manifold and unjust representations in regard to his opinions, and especially to the Editor of the Sentinel, alio is now urging the election of McDonald and Benning, and South Carolina lo seede from the Union, pledging the Southern Rights party of this State to go with her. Mr. Johnson defended himself from vari ous unfounded charges, and staled the fol lowing positions: Ist. That Congress had no right to a holislt slavery any where; neither in the < States, Territories, Forts, or arsenals; his 1 belief, he said, was that no kind of prop- 1 erty could he taken by the government for private purposes, and such had al ways been his opinion. 2d. He had never said (as charged) that the North was richer than the South; he snid it contained more people and voters, 3rd. About two years since lie went to the Nort-West, (Missouri) as lie had at that time some idea of removeiug to that State, but after examining the country lie returned to Georgia; that fie never saw Col. Benton in his life, and that the charge against him of selling hit slaves, is a base falsehood. 4th. He never said African slavery was a social evil, or a corse. He never so believed; hut had often declared the reverse, as all his associates in Columbus well know. None Inn his opponents, and the enemies of the Government, would say otherwise. Sill. He was fearful, and ai one time thought that (lie Wilinot Proviso would [have been passed. The Editor of the | Sentinel regrets, no doubt, the failure of : its passage; and because Cobb and Toombs did more than any other men | in Congres to defeat it, lie hates anc wars upon them as lie hates and wars upon his Government. Cth. He liHiUitid, that the Government | had a right to control tinder the constilu •ion, die Forts, Arsenals, Mines, Dock’ Yards, &c., of the United States, and* that the Government could, and ought to prevent negroes from having any man agement or control whatever in them.— This, the Editor was pleased to cull pro\ hiking slavery in those places. 7th. He did not remember what lie ! said about the power of Congress over ! die Territories. Wlial he intended to say j was, that Congress, with the consent of j the people of the Territories, could per • mil them, the Territories to become in j dependent; and when so, they could es tablish what form of Government they pleased. Col. Johnson having fully, nbly and honestly reviewed the whole questions of die day, closed amid the loud applause of every friend of peace, the Union and the j Constitution. DOOLY.

Mr. Bloodworth is .a good judge of Cotton ond un excellent salesman. We would cnll attention to the Card of Mi.

We would call attention to the card ol Messrs. Rabun, Fulton &. Cos., Commission Merchants, of Savannah.

Allen’s entire interest in the Sontbj West Georgian Office, it will liereaCjßM be conducted under the firm of blood in Hogue. Mr. Bennings Spcif| We promised hTomLJMj! issue to say something mog? in regard to Mr. Ben this place. In order to fuMif that promise we will again take up tft points which we set forth last week ii and briefly review them. It is a well known fact that Mr. Ben ning was in favor of a Southern Consoli. dated Confederacy las’ fall. This be ing the case, he must have turned a po '"ical somerset or lie is still in favor of I such a Confederacy, for the same causes now exist to maintain the position he took last fall, which then existed to create that - position. There has been 110 cause, therefore, for Mr. Benning to change his position, and if he is not now just wliat ; he was last fall it is because he has craw , fished for the sake of popularity. But 1 Mr. Benning has crawfished. He said in his speech at Starkesville and at this place, that the Georgia Platform settled the questions of acquiescence and resis tance, and were it not for the judgment of the people of Georgia, thus solemnly pronounced, he wou'd stilt go for raz ing to the earth, the fair proportions of this mighty republic. The Georgia Platform, then, has frightened Mr. Ben ning o|f from Ins former position or at least induced him to conceal his real po sition. Mr. Benning believes that the Com promise measures are robbery and degra dation to liie South, yet he afiirms that be is on the Georgia Platform, which said the pleople of Georgia could honorably abide by these measures, and that he is willing to acquiesce in the judgement of the people ol Georgia which fastened deg radation upon him and Ids fellow-citizens. But there is another reason w hy Mr. Ben - ning says lie is on the Georgia Platform and that is, he says that he believes this Platform will destroy the Union sooner than any means that could be brought to bear. Here then lie admits that lie de. sires a dissolution of the Union. Mr. Benning charges his opponent, Mr. Johnson with believing in the cunsti- j tutionality of tlie Wilmot Proviso, hut if Congress exercised the power to pass it, lie was ready to fight. Mr. Benning has forgot, perhaps, that lie not only believed that Congress had the right lo pass said Proviso, but went to Nashville and call ed upon Congress lo pass it, so as to pro-’ liibit slavery North of 36, 30, and only protect it below that line. Now which is the best advocate of the South, the man who admits the right to exist, but denies the right to exercise, or lie who concedes the Constitutional right and calls upon Congress to exercise it. The latter is Mr. Benning’s position. We have now given you sufficient proof that Mr. Benning was one thing yesterday and professes to be another to day last full lie was an open Disunionisl, now he professes lo be on (lie Georgia Platform. Last fall lie was a Wilmot Provlsoist, now lie professes lo be any thing else. Last fall he was for estab lishing a Southern Consolidated Confed eracy, now he is in favor of Separate State Secession. Can any voter of tlie , Second Distsict bestow his suffrage on such a man ? Can they trust their dear.- F est interests in the hands of such a po litical trickster, who, chameleon-like, will change the color of his politics, whenev er lie imagines his success requires it?— l> We think not. In these perilous tinics, we should elect men of firmness, men who ; j will lake a position and maintain it.— , This Mr. Benning will not do—lie is found changing Ids political coat so often we have no assurance, that if elected, he would not, in a very short time be an Abolitionist, We should like for our neighbor over the way to tell us something about them “last cards” which Ids party are preparing to send out just a few days before the election, which aie to be kept away from the large towns and railroads?

We shall not attempt to notice Ids lampoon squibs this week, but if we have time w-e may say something about them, next week. One thing however, we wish to call our neighbors attention to: if he will examine our paper to day he will find that Mr. Johnson has answered the charges con* tained in Mr. Chambers’ letter, and that they are just wliat we said they were, a bundle ofT falsehoods, gotten up for the purpose of as sisting Mr. Benning in his disunion canvass* GIVING UP THE SHIP.

(Quitman has blown Ids bugle blast, and nobody responded; McDonald is now blowing Id*, in very feeble way to be sure, and from the signs us the times, Ids liu k will be about equal to that of Ids illustrious compeer in Miss issippi. The game then is nearly up.—* Tlie people are intelligent, nnd intend to preserve the government of their country. The Union then is indeed safe. But who jsaved it ? We hardly think it was that [class of men who bated it like* they hated li—l, and have urged upon the people for more than a year to despise and destroy it. We rejoice that it is safe, and that its enemies had, and still have, no power to destroy it.— Enquirer. SORTER COMPLIMENTARY. A question rather complimentary to a large and highly respe.i table portion of our immediate fellow citizens, is asked by our neighbor of tl.e Times in Ids iri-week l.v of the 2d inst. It runs something after this pattern : *ls the South ready In be governed without Constitution or law, without ve to or interposition, without let or hin drance, bv a parcel of cheese, eating, on ion smelling, cute, money-making, gree dy, vulgar, grinning, fanatical Yankee*!’ We do not know, amriiave not panic* jularly enquired of the South, what may lie her ideas on the matter; but one thing is tolerable evident, and it is becoming more nnd more apparent every day, that site does not intend to be governed by any set of men who are laboring piglu and day to destroy the Union, whether they are Yankees or Southern men, who agree [ with our neighbor. The country has to jbe governed by somebody, and the Southern people have arrived at tlie very safe and reasonable conclusion dial the poorest way to preserve the government to destroy it. That kind of government they at present have a very conletjipti ble opinion of.— Enquirer. Late from HavaiiaaUd Key West. By the mail schfloner William k John, Captain P ARKER, we are in receipt of ad vices from Havana to 7th inst. Our reg ular letters came from Key West, but our correspondent in Havana failed lo write and the Havannn papers neglected to mail our usual exahange, so we have but a meagre account of tlie news. Capt. Parker informs us that 160 of Lopez’s men were put on board a trans* port bond for Spain on the 7th inst., the day he sailed, and the ship got under way and followed him to sea. Capt.
