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 3s growing stronger every day in Geor gia-” , 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.) New Orleans Picayune. Ccn. I{uitiuanN Declension. The following address from Geneial Quitman, the late secession candidate for Governor of Mississippi, we find in the Natches Free Trader : To the Democratic Stales Rights party of Mississippi. The result of die - recent election for (lie Convention, however brought about, j must he regarded, <*. least for the pres ent, as decisive of the yusiiinn of the ; State on the great issue invite,..,j. The majority have declared ilia, they are content with the late aggressive mens.l tires of Congress and opposed to any re. medial action by the Stale. Although this tlel.-riiilnmm.i of i|.e people i at varieitee with my fixed 0p,,j.( ion of the true policy <f the State, hen •fore expressed and still conscientiously: “tabled; vet, Stales Rights man, Democrat, I bow in respectful i m “ 2 f 1 submission to the apparent will of the ! people. .• j it is true lbf> State has not vet spoken j authoritatively; even the nets of the Con vention will not he binding until they : have been ratified hv a vote of the peo ’ file; lull by the election of nou-resisters to the Convention, a majority ol the j people have declared against the coarse >f policy on the slavery question, which | / deemed it iny duty to puisne while j Governor, and against the principles ttp jon which 7 was nominated, and upon which alone / had consented to run ns a candidate. I might perhaps, be elected, notwithstanding this demonstration of public sentiment in die election for the \ Convention; hut a- 1 have been mainly I instrumental in seeking the expression ol ; the will ol die people through a Con vention, 1 ought, in my political action, ! 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 try,, that I will to the last, sever the great State Rights, as faithfully in die ranks, ns 1 have endeavored to do in high position. J. A. QUITt)AN. Monmouth, Sept. 6, 18*1. Mississippi, gjfgy 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 j.il ■ lie coiik-qulioti and Union not only a* certain, Iml • derisive.

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 Lanier, Sept, folk, 1 Sol. 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 present political issues. VVe had adop ted the principles and policy set forth ini the Georgia Platform and considered tlint sufieient, but f or son herein stated. W. H. ROBINfON, W.N.L.CRQjpER. From the Georgia CitJben, 23rd. ult. Fort Early, Dooly CUjSWv, July 29th, ’sl. 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. The Editor of the Patriot Col. Tift hatfsthe North (indeed you would think so,) worse thnn the worst Southerner, though lie is interested in many dear things there—His Father, Mother etc He i l.iimsio be on the Georgia Platform, that honorably acquiesced in the late Compromise, yet says, he is, on the Mc- Donald platform that says the Contpro* mi*c degrades us. He does not object lo the New Mexico and Utah Bills, the McDonald Platform dots He objects to the purchase of a portion of Texns hy the Government n being unfriendly to the South; yet this purchase was embra ced in the New Mexico and Utah Bills which he think*- in very friendly to (lie South. He claims to be a good I man and is in favor of resistance: Col I Daily his leader and ally, says no m;,. * tance is of any account, I I i , Edition ty wha, has been wi Uenrof I f the Georgia Citizen in a Communicate,, I dated 4th July, ’sl, signed W. M. S.-. I 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 can laws are in force in Mexican Terri- I tory, the independence of Texas and been I acknowledged, and she subsequently | )arv I ing repealed anti-slavery law, by virtue 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 ety nine years. Hence if slavery is found I profitable in the countries it will g 0 there I legislation to tl e contrary, notwithstandv I ing. If it is found unprofitable human I legislation will not carry it there. FORT EARLY. 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.
