THE BRAG GAME.
The Editor of the Columbus ‘Semi-:
♦tel’—the young man who secs things;
through ajaundiced medium, and whose!
late min jurious alia, k upon James John
son, I.q. tile Union Candidate for Com.
gress in the second District, has given an
infamy of immortality to himself, thus
writes to his journal from Savannah, n
his way North to see It is disunion allies
of that section :
There is not a great deal of nnnimn
tion Jtcrr. in the political campaign there!
K no question of Jackson’s election ; and,
<>y the way, our friends in Macon are e-
Xitially certain of Chapnell’s detent. In
that district, Hailey, it is said, will he;
elected by a larger majority even than;
McDonald. Ihe Southern Rights cause

Billy Chambers is, in course, a mighty
fine judge ol the state of politics here,
from a single Railroad trip through Mu..
coi\ to .Savannah ! In our humble jndg-]
nieni there is not a more narrow minded,!
bigoted, ‘ sweeled read’ than he, it) ihe|
Slate of Georgia ! If he aims to tell the
truth, politically, he is not able to do it
from mere contractedness of v : sion and
unmitigated prejudice. But he had to
say something hy way of encouragement
of the desponding hopes of his party, and
he is not the individual to have any con
sciencious scruples about the means used !
Brag then is the game, and false state
ments of the case, the mode of overthrow
ing the cause of the Union which pious
Billy has said he • hales like h—ll.*
Any Chrislain professor who can be in
duced by party real to uiler stirli profane
treason against his government as be has
done, is utterly unworthy of any credit,
jn matter in which he may volunteer to
give testimony, as in the uncalled for at
tacks upon Mr. Johnson.
Georgia. —The defeat of secessionist!)
is complete in Mississippi, /lithe
so complete in Georgia, it will be Jjjiij
cause its friends there succeed in their at
tempts to change position before the elec
tion. The papers there, of the secession
faith, are very indignant that Mr. Cobb,
the Union candidate for Governor, as
serts in his public speeches that their can
didate, Judge McDonald, maintains the
right of a Stalest o secede ‘without cause.’
h is, they protest, a groos absurdity to
suppose that a State cau secede without
cause, or in any except an extreme case
as ‘the last resort short of revolution.’—
They only contend for the right to secede
in such an extreme case. Accordingly,
Mr. Cobb gels roundly abused for miss
representation, in arguing that by their
theory a Slate has a right to secede
‘without cause;’ and yet nothing can be
clearer that Mr. Cobb Is right in his dis
cretion of the true results cf the doc
trine.
The right of secession is claimed by
its advocates as an attribute of State so
vereignty. A State, by virtue of her on
alienated and unalienable sovereignty,
may withdraw at any time from her con
nection with the Union, for reasons, of
which she is the only judge. The right
is not to be contested, on account of the
weakness ot the reasons, whatever they
may be, which decide Iter cour-e, for the
right is absolute, and her own discretion
the only rule. Her right would he none
the less if she had no reasons at all to as
sign but Iter own will. And this is what
Mr. Cobh and everebody else under
stands by tbe theory of the right of se
cession. Whether any occasion calls for
the exercise of tlie r’-glit, is a secondary
question; and we have understood the
Georgia and Mississippi secessionists as
making an issue the recognition of the
abstract right to secede without reference
to existing or any causes. When they!
begin to complain, as they do in Ueor-j
gia, shat they are accused of being in faj
vor of the right of secession for insuffi
cient cause, they are retreating from their I
first position, and admit that the cause isj
essential to the existence of the right, tli.it
amounts, after all, to the rigid which;
everybody admits, of resisting hy force
when oppression becomes intolerable.—
Mr. Cobb is pushing them up to this
position, and it seems to make them very
angry that he will not let them escape
from the consequences of their doctrine.)

The following address from Geneial

To the Democratic Stales Rights party

The majority have declared ilia, they

ion of the true policy <f the State, hen

to the Convention, a majority ol the

jon which 7 was nominated, and upon
which alone / had consented to run ns a

notwithstanding this demonstration of

I instrumental in seeking the expression ol
; the will ol die people through a Con

! to abide by it.
Therefore, upon full consideration of
all the circumstances; respect for the ap
parent descision of die people; duty to
die noble anti patriotic party, who are
! struggling to maintain the rights of the
South against Northern aggression, and
to preserve oor institutions from the fatal
effects of consolidating all power in the
Federal Government; and a sense of self
respect which inclines me not seek a pub
lic station in which my opinions upon vi
tal questions are not sustained by a ma„
jority of my constituants; all concur in
inducing me to the opinion that my doty
requites me to retire from the position
which 1 occupy as the Democratic State
Rights candidate for Governor. With
emotions of the deepest gratitude to the
patriotic party by which I was nominated,
for the evidences of their unfaltering con
fidence, both in the nomination rtod in
, the warm and hearty reception with
which I have been met every where in
the canvass, I tender my resignation of
the high and honorable post of their i Itief
standard bearer in the pending canvass,
judging myself to them and to the coun

State Rights, as faithfully in die

Speaking of tile recent election iu ibis
State of members to the Stale Convention
by which the people defeated and put to
flight the cohort of lire Triumvirate,
Rlit lt, Quitman, and McU maid, the
Vickburg Whig gives publicity to tiie
following just and patriotic sentiments: .
“The dark and portentous clouds
which covered the political heavens but a
A w months since, are being rapidly dp
persed, and the sun of liberty, freedom,
and Union, are now sending forth its
cheering rays to re..vivify the hopes and
prospects of the friends til rational, con
stitutional liberty throughout tlie world.
At no period in the history of Govern
ment, have the people looked with such
anxious solicitude to the result of politi
cal contest, as they have lojthe struggle
which has been going on iu this free Re
public within the last twelve or eighteen
months. The free spirited Hungarian
—the down troddeu Polamler—the op
pressed of British dominions—the true
friends of Republican government in
France—and lit- patriots, writhing under !
the tyranny and oppression of the Vice
gerent of Spain, have all regarded the
United Stales as the only hope and ref
uge of the sons of freedom. But it is not
abroad that the solicitude hns been most
deeply felt, it has been here at home,
within the limits protected and guarded
by the Constitution,which madness, fan
aticism, and treason have been endeav
oring to overthrow. We know that if
they could have been made to see the
I dangerous tendencies of their conduct
j and co-operation, that they would have !
i supported the cotmcellers whom they i
have followed, and In whom they have I
j been misled; but ol litis we w ill say but !
(little farther than to regret that good!
I and true men should have been found in
close affiliatiii with those who, with trai
torous hearts, nurse deeply and earnestly
that sentiment “that the time has arrived
when this Union should be dissolved" —
But w hile we regret the course of some,
our heart beams with gratitude to the
! sterling people of this Stale who have
j had the foresight to percieve the danger,
the patriotism to disregard party ties,
and the net ve to meet and overthrow the
, danger which has been impending over
us; and litis gratitude can lie extended to
a very large majority of the independent
voters of litis State—for although the re
turns are yet very partial from the con.
j venlino election, our confidence in the
integrity and pnriotisnt of the people has
j increased, Mini our warmest hopes
I strengthened.
-VVc regard the lriuiii|ih of the friends

A Word lo Union Men.
The contest which is to decide the fate
of Georgia is now at hand—soon will it
be determined whether Georgia shall
maintain tin- position which she so noblv
occupied las', fall, or whether she will
join South Corolina in her mad schemes
lor the destruction of tlie Government,
whether site will still aspire for the first
rank among her sister Southern Slates,
or whether she will igoominiously’ blot
Iter fair name with the foul stain of dis
union !
Friends of die Union ! are you ready
for the ( nniest, which shall give a death
blow to disunion and restore peace and
quietude to the country ? or are you
“slumbering in your tents” while the en
emy is steadily advancing to overthrow
the Union of our forefathers and spread
dessolntinn throughout our lieaven-favor
ed land i If the latter is your condition,
w ake up ! Gird on your armors, and
•Sftike—till the last armed foe expires,
Sltike— for your allnis and your fires,
Strike— for the green graves (tfyonr sires;
God —and your native land !”
Oil you it now devolves, lo save from
destruction, to perpetuate, anil to hand
down to your children tin- blessings ol
liberty which can only he done by pre
sen ing the Union established by our
forefathers.
The Disuiiioiiiits are actively enga>
ged, they ore circulating libelous hand-
I hill* and false letters thrnhghmit the
j Stale, and using every other incaui that
I political chicanery, can suggest to secure
I• lie overthrow ol tin -out government,
-** lo de
cieve the people and secure their support.
They use all kinds of sopistry to evade
the true issue before the people. But
die true issue is Union and Disunion—
acquiescence in the compromise meas
ures for the sake of Union and Resis
tance to these measures for the sake of
effecting a disruption of the Government.
I Voters of Georgia ! which do you per-
I'er, to abide by the Compromise and
perpetuate the Union, or. to disband the
Sisterhood ol States, and bring war and |
bloodshed itpon yourselves and your)
children? /I'you prefer the latter, sleep on
and dream of success,’ until the disrop
tionists have elevated McD maid and his
allies to power, but if you desire the sal
vation of your country, go to work with
redoubled effort-, and never cease till yuAf
have secured the election of every Uiijon
candidate in the State, and compleJn
thwarted every unholy scheme *f the
Disunionists. IK

Messrs. Editors: MUfttotiee that the
Editor ol the Southern Democrat in his
paper of the 18th hs attempted to
make anew issueJ He is opposed in
principle to the law"—says
Dial Col. iW, and Dr. Head are op
posed la it; and that we are its advo
cale This sagacious Editor of dis
miinn memory, discovering both the Mc-
Donald, and Benuing Platforms to be
too rotten to stand longer upon ; and he.
mg sick and tired of hearing them con
demned by die people has fixed up this
new hobby, upon which to ride the Col.
anil Doctor through the canvass. Upon
this they readily mounted ; and are now
out in the field under whip and spur, de
claring as they go their opposition to
“ women wearing the breeches,” and
“ the womans law”—thus doing the bid
ding of their political general for whom
they have manifested as the people ol this
County well know, such reverence and
respect ever since as a Christain, he
was found to be so constant and fervent
to God io his prayer for the dissolution
of the Union. But why this political el
ement now ? Js it made the issue anv
where else in the Slate? Is every body,
“fall parties in Georgia except this pre
cious Editor and his leltle clique igno
rant of, and indifferent to a fact of such
import, as the reversal of die decrees of
die Almighty hy die next Legislature, if
indeed such a tiling was contemplated.—
71 would seem so. No such sagacity
el-e where in the State—no such patriot-
ism— Believe it not. It is only an effort
to divert the minds of the people from the
deep laid disunion purposes of these men
and their party.
7/ die “ Bloomer Costume” and wo>
mans law- have any thing to do with the
politics of this country, or this Senatorial
District, w hy were they not incorporated
in their patty Resolutions and Platform ?
Why dont Col. Hunter and Dr. Head
over their own signatures publish the fact
of their opposition to them ! The reason
is obvious—as the matter now stands,
they can he for or against them as occasion
may require. If those things are so im
portant and are so regarded hy those
gentlemen, does not common candor and
fairwe.ss on their part require a public an
nouqfcemsftt of the fact—we think so, if
they are sincere. Will they make it!
and w ill they tell us the provisions of the
law to which they are opposed! We are
candid in confessing that it would be quite
difficult for u$ if not impossible to say we
were in layer of, or against a law of w hose
provisions we knew nothing. If these
gentlemen though will tell us the law or
laws, measure or measures, they are for
or against and will pul the wereabouts
down on paper we will take great pleasure
in doing the same, so that there may he
no mistake or misrepresentation about
the matter.
We have been satisfied with the pro
tection secured hy onr laws to women—
we have never asked our Representatives
to give them any additional protection,
nor attempted it ourselves while honored
as representatives of the people—yet it
has been said falsely and without any au
thority, that weare in favor of the womans
law. We are in favor of good laws, such
as will best advance the interest and hap
piness of a free and enlightened people,
aud are opposed to any which would
have a contrary effect, we believe that
women have rights, and a right to pro
tection according to the policy of our
government and the w isdom of its laws.
And while we are glad to know that the
Legislature has thrown the aegis of it*
protection around them, we believe it
would be bad policy for it to pass
any woman law with which we tire
acquainted or of which we have heard But
these disunionists must have something to do
if they cannot break up the Union of the
; States, perhaps they can the marriage Union
—they lon a turned llicir artilery against the
weaker vessels. Poor women are not to he
alloweJ, in this free country, the right of reg
ulating the length of their dresses,—these
Fire-eater” ate alarmed—they are holding
nn to their hrttchtt with both hands, lest the
ladies should get litem—then, /Injv imagine,
they would be like Sampson shorn ol his lucks
—al! uiiiliority and honor gone. Well, we
| are nut disposed lo quarrel with the ladies
j about wli.it they do in this regard, feeling ms.
titled that they will demean lltrimelvcs u
they have always been accustomed to do, ac
cording to good taste and good sense..
We have thought it pioper to say this much
in regard to wlmt has been lugged into the

Dear Citizen : —governor McDonald
in his leiter of acceptance, says, ‘ this
day I a letter informing me
of my jjpjfitnai'nin for Governor of Geor
ut't,To a Convention composed of both
IVhigs and Democrats; I have been told
a majority Composing the Convention
were Whigs. Why then do so many ul
tra Disunion Whigs swallow this hitter
pill of Democracy glossed over with pre
tended friendship to the Union in the
shape of McDonald, who once ruined our
State by his management of oor finances 9
For the very reason that the Union Whigs
take down the Democratic pill Mr. Cobb,
because lie is a Union man on die one
hand, and Vise Versa McDonald a dis
unionist, on the other. 1 rejoice that it
is not worse with us than on the 25th of
November last, notwithstanding the at
tempt being made in various quarters to
joggle us out of many Democratic Union
votes, and thereby make the people of
Georgia contradict what they said in No
vember 1850,hy deceiving the men into the
support of the friends and ally of the no
torious Distinionisl of South Carolina,
B. S. Rliett. Governor McDonald, the
Union Disunion man—(who sal in Con
vention recommending a Southern Con
gress, refusing to unite with Ihe sister
States of one the happiest republics that
ever existed, to nominate officers who are
iodispensihle, and without whom the Gov
ernment would cease to exist, is now the
Submissimist to the imaginary wrong
done us by the General Government, as
will he seen by reference to an article in
the Georgia Citizen of the 26th July,
insl.
In the Southern Right Disunion Con
vention of the 2d Congressional District
only seven Comities out of fourteen were
represented, those not represented being
Union Counties, tins argens badly for
mi.- opponents’ in the above district.—
‘['lie old Democrats of Lee, some of them
tell me that the County will vote
largely for Cobb. /1 has been said by
the Fire Eaters, that Baker and Doolv
will give two hundred majority each for
McDonald. Well, this is more than any
body knows, for the public mind is un
settled, and (he resul- will depend much
on whether we suffer them to cheat the
people to believe they are as good Union
men as we, for these Counties are Union
to the core if they can get light. Baker
is doubtful, though Judge Warren says,
“signs are more favorable.” 7 hear
cheering news from some parts of Dooly,
that the hot beds of the Democracy are
getting lieht, and will sustain the Union
and Iter Cobb.
The Federal Union, Georgia Tele
graph and Albany Patriol, are throwing
mist over the eyes of onr honest people.
These papers that praised Mr. Plk for
signing the Oregon Bill with the proviso
to it, and call Mr. Cobb a traitor for vot
ing for the same bill with a majority of
the Democrats, St nth. Mr. Calhoun
the leader of the Southern Rights party j
voted for the Clayton Compromise Bill -
with Cobh and majority of Democrats 1
South, for which they say Mr- Cobb is a
traitor to the South. [See Congress
ional Journal and above papers— 47—4B
-49-51.] Mr. Cobh voted for the late
(or the South than any
previous measure or compi-omhe, with a
majority of Southern Democrats. For
this he is denounced as a traitor to the
South in Company with Stephens and I
Tombs, hence u majority of the Demm
ct-ais South are traitors and in company
with Tombs and Stephens ! 7s it not a
principle of Democracy that majorities
rule? These papers now teach that mi
norities should govern. They quote
George M. Troop w ho coincides with the
Abolitionists, that there is ‘higher law*
titan the Consli/uticm. (See Federal
Union 15th July, ’sl, G. M. Troop’s
letter of ’33.) The latter paper is stand
ing with its head where its feet were in
Thomas Haynes’ time, Tempora Mil.
tanitir. Having changed Editors it has
ceased to quote our beloved Jackson as
authority, prefering those who have law
above the CONSTITUTION.

It has baen said that the purchase made I
Texas is turned to free Soil by virtue of I
the Mexican law. This cannot be, even I
admitting the false doctrine that the Met. I

tory, the independence of Texas and been I
acknowledged, and she subsequently | )arv I

of which, taking our antagonists on their I
own ground we acquired the right to I
slavery. Georgia come into the union |
with decrees prohibiting slavery, which I
proved to be naught, as her citizens found I
slavery to be profitable. They introduced I
it by hireing negroes f.om Carolina forni n . I

profitable in the countries it will g 0 there I

Disunion Unmasked.
FORSYTH’S LETTER.
We notice in the Charleston papers, I
a leiter from John Forsyth, Esq., Edit
or of the Columbus Times, in which lie
openly avows a complete identity of feel
ing with the disunionists of Carolina.—
He declares that lie “simpatlrises with
them from the bottom of his hear,” and a
mong other things equally remarkable, j
utters the following startling language:
“/ would to God, we had fewer miles j
of ra l-way, fewer tuilions invested in |
maufuclures and stocks, and more of that
spirit chivalry of Georgia of the olden
time, which, on more than one occasion,
has interposed her sovereignty to checks
usurpations of the Federal Government.”
7f language like this does not arrouse
the people of Georgia to a sense of the
real danger which threatens iis, we know
not what will. Has it come to this, that
a gentleman of respectability connected
with a press of influence wiil venture to
avow a desire that the people may stiff-r
the pinchings of poverty and the hor
rors of pecuniary waul, in order tlit
their hearts may he schooled to deeds of
treason und rebellion !
The “chivalry of the olden time”
indeed! What was Georgia -in olden
lime,’ before site was raised from the du,t
bv that very spirit of improvement of
which Mr. Forsyth complains ? D-w*
he desire a return to the day* of the Ya
zoo chivalry ? We presume out. Then,
in the name of God, deprecate that pros,
perity which our people have wrought
out by their energy, enterprise and pul*,
lic spirit ? Why deprecate that prosper
ity which he knows will be destroyed hy
the wild gchincs of disunion which he ad
vocates.
Mr. Forsyth, it seems, in his Carolina
letter, is an ultra disuuioiiist. T he- let.
ter itself shows that he consorts and tym -’
palhises w ith the disumoniuni-ts of that
State. Why does he not proclaim the
same sentiments through his paper now
that lie did last siimmer ? Why doe* he
not use the same language as is contained
in the subjoined letter of Mr. Palmer,
written to the same meeting ? Wliy doe*
not be too glibly speak of u lhe accursed
Union,” as do bis secession friends of
Carolina ? /s it not simply because bis
party wi.-h to cheat the people, and steal
; into power under the pretence of being
good Union men? Voters of Ceorgia !
think of these things, before you cast
your votes on the first Monday of Octo
ber next.
The friends of the Union are again
requested to be on the look out for those
“last cards” which the Disuiiioiiiits are
preparing to circulate in the “dark cor
j tiers,” a few days before the election.
