C j“ We desire tu ak our neighbor of
the Democrat, a few simple questions,
which he can either answer or let pass,
just as he sees proper. YVe only ask fir
information, neighbor, us we understand
yon have some idea of going as a delegate
to the Baltimore, Convention.
In the first place vve want to know if
von can consent to sit in Convention
with the northern Democracy, after de
claring, in your paper of the 6th Nov.
1851, that you believed them opposed to
southern institutions, unsafe anil unsound
as a party?
In the second place, could you find it
in your heart to vote in the nomination
lor any man who resides north of Mason
Si Dixon’s line, when yon expressly de
cl ‘fed in the above mentioned issue of
your papi r, that the only terms on which
you would unite with the nnlhern Demo..
(•ratio party w;vs, that they nominate
Southern Democrats lor the Presidency
and \ r u e Presidency?
In the third place, should you go to.
the Baltimore Convention, and should
j the question be put to that Convention,
whether it adopt the Compromise as a
J final settlement or not, would you, after
! having denounced its measures as unjust
and destriKtive to the interests of the
’ South, vote for their adoption as a final
ity?
In the fourth and last place, should the
Baltimore Convention nominate a candi
date for the Pre-iilency who is a Northern
man, and a supporter’ of the Compro
mise measures, will you adopt him as
your candidate ,ind aid in his election?
We hope our neigehor will answer the
above interogatories fairly, as we only
ask fur the sake of information.
Acotlirr Hail Road Prtgm on Foot.
The New Orleans Cornu ercial Bulle
tin states that a company has been recent
ly organized, composed of influential rit
i/.'os of Georgia and wealthy capitalists of
YVashington and New York, for the pur
pose of constructing a rail road across the
upper portions of'the Peninsula of Flor
ida from the port of Brunswick in Geor
gia, in the city of Pensacola.
The contemplated rail road is to be
commenced forthwith, and the Company
having it in charge, design making it a
fir-t class rail road, connecting the two
termini on the Atlantic and the Gulfwith
brain lies to Tallehassee, and Albany on
the Flint river. The distance from Bruns
wick to Pensacola is about two hundred
miles. The entire cost of the road with
| equipments is estimated at $ 1,500,000,
and it is the intention of the Company to
complete it within five years.
Tims vve see, there is a probability and
a strong one two, that a plank road from
this place to Albany, would eventually
become a road of transportation and also
a great thoroughfare. Now is the time
for our citizens to act, now is the time for
this road to be built, and the man who
invests his money in it will secure to him
self an income of a hundred percent.
The Bulletin says that “Messrs. R. J.
Walker of Washington, S. It. Brooks,
Amos Davis and Win. Chauncey, of New
Fork, w ith some half dozzrn strong, sub
stantial men in Georgia, luve the ability
and will to commence the work and give
it a lively impetus, while Ilolit Collins
and Elam Alexander, Esqs., will embark
in the enterprise, and give it their person
al superintendence.”
We are glad to believe that this pros
pective rail road will give an impetus to
the already flatteiing prospects of our
plank road, beyond the expectation even
of the most sanguinoiis.
Union Democratic Convention. — We
publish the proceedings of this body,
which were received too late for our last
i-xue, as an interesting episode in the po
litical history of the times. YVe cannot
approve of the action of the twenty or
thirty individuals composing this conven
tion, and professing to he Union men,
who, acquiescing in the resolutions of the
U inn convention, one of which expli
t it!> dec ireil that the Union party would
i tkt no action at present upon the I’res
i nleuiial question, have acted upon that
ipie-tinii, bv appointing delegates to the
Baltimore Convention, anYl by creating
■an executive committee for the patty. —

(tv of tlii> Executive Committee? to find
a constituency for the gentlemen who go
to Baltimore? or to convey them safe to
that city! YVe do not understand this at
tempt at a regular and independent party
organization. If these gentlemen send
a deputation from their number to the
Democratic Convention, simply to spy
out the land, and to bring back reliable
information of tiie composition and tone
and temper and spirit, as well as action of
that convention, we have no disposition to
denounce them, though we may not ap
prove of the course (hey have adopted.
The event may justify and excuse them.
The Baltimore Convention may present
the only candidate for the Piesidency
whom the Constitutional Union party of
Georgia can cnnsi.-tenily support, and!
vve will not denounce these nieii, with I
whom it may he our doty, ultiuiaiely, to’

things. Bat why appoint an Executive
Committee? This seems to contemplate ;
a permanent organization, distinct from
that of the Union Party.— Journal and
Messenger.
It has recently been stated that the
health of Louis Napoleon is in a nost un
satisfactory Mate; and some private letters
say that the French President has been
so seriously ill that lie was unable to ap
pear in public. Reports to this effect
were probably circulated to account for
bis non-appearance in public, w Inch some
journals have attributed to a fear of as
sassination. It is known, however, that
Louis Napoleon is afflicted with a severe
complaint in Ids Itead. which, at times,
causes great pain. Should these attacks
continue, it is stated that he will be alto
gether unfit to transact any public busi
ness.
GENERAL PRESENTMENTS.
The first pattnel of the Grand Jury for
the County of Macon respectfully beg
leave to make the following present
merits :
Upon an examination of the public
buildings of the county, we find them in
very bad repair and require immediate
attention. YVe therefore recommend that
the Jail he repaired and placed in a con
dition for the reception of prisoners.—
The Court House requires a refurnishing
entirely, and vve therefore suggest that
the inferior Court employ some suitable
person to make the necessary repairs, and
supply (he Court room with chairs, tables
and other necessary furniture.
The reports made to the Grand Jury
from (lie various parts of the county in
regard to the roads and bridges, induces
os to believe that the Road Com.ui-sinn
ers goneially are very remiss in their du
ty. Complaints have been made to us,
as to the condition of all the roads and
bridges, and we ask the intention of the
inferior Court to this department of their
duty.
YVe have had under examination the
Books of the various County Officers,
and find those of the Clerk of the Supe
rior Court neatly and correctly kept;
also those of the Clerk of the Court of
Ordinary, for the past year. The Books
of llie Clerk of the inferior Court have
been kept in a b and ami slovenly manner,
reflecting discredit upon that officer, and
loudly calling upon the Interior Court for
a rigid scrutiny into the matter, and a
speedy correction of the evil.
YVe have examined most carefully into
the state of the county funds, and find
that the fund raised from taxation for llie
political year 1851 has been collected,
paid out, and properly vouched lor. But
we regret exceedingly to stale, (hat the
county fund raised from the taxes of 1850
has been grossly misapplied and squan
dered, both by tlie Tax Collector and
County Treasurer, for that year. A por
tion of this fund is .-till in the hands of
both these officers, unaccounted for, and
yet they have since qualified and held
public office. YVe state this fact and leave
it to the public to draw the proppr infe
rence. It is not for us to indulge in hnr'sh
comments, especially as we believe the
provisions of the law ample to teach and
punish, in a proper manner, such conduct
upon the part of public officers. A fla
grant instance of misconduct upon the
part of the said County Treasurer, YV.
J. Collins, we cannot permit to pass un
noticed. He seems io have no system in
keeping his hooks and accounts, has mu
tilated and destroyed a portion of the
book in which the receipts and disburse
ments of the County funds are noted and
kepi, so that it is quite impossible fur us
1 1 set forth and show the stale of the ac
count between him and James YV. Cun
ningham, Tax Collector for that yevr.—
7n addition to the above it appears that
the said YV. J. Collins has received rev
enue belonging to (he county from other
sources, with which lie has not charged
himself, and for which he has never ac
counted. This amount, from the above
causes, is also left uncertain, and cannot,
without a more thorough examination
than we have been able to give the sub
jet t, approximate with any degree of ac
curacy. These developments call im
peratively upon ihe Inferior Court to em*
plot all the agencies within its power to
bring tllese officers to h due account, and
to secure, while yet they may, the rights
of the County. YVe accordingly request
that each one of ike Justices of that Court
may be furnished by the Clerk of this
Court, with a copy of the foregoing pre
sentments, and believing as we do, that
our fellow citizens will cheerfully bear the
expense, we ask that Court respectfully
! and earnestly to adopt the suggestions
here made, and to employ some compe
| tent and efficient person to assist them in
making an investigation so much needed
in securing rights so grossly violated.
YVe also beg leave to present a* a griev
ance, the habit of giving various public
jobs and other employments to members
| of the Inferior Court, and other county
officers. This practice, in our judgment,
is in violation of the spirit of the law,
1 and destructive ol the security which was
• intended to he given to the community,
!by keeping the vaiious effects separate
and distinct. YVe also disapprove ol a
| habit prevailing to a considerable extent
; among the officers of this county of pay
ing out public funds without an order be
ing first passed by the Inferior Court au
thorizing it. Much of the confusion and
difficulty found to exist in the accounts
of these officers, we are persuaded, results
from this piactice.
YVe recommend to the Justices of the
Peace, a vigilant enforcement of the pa
trol Laws.
YVe recommend a levy of the former
tax. -
In conclusion, it affords us unalloyed
pleasure to say that the courtesy received
by this body from his honor, Judge Pow
ers, and the Solicitor General DcGraffen
rcid, has our lasting gratitude.
YVe request that the above present
ments be published in the Oglethorpe
papers.

GEORGIA, Muesli County:
A irue extract from the minutes of Ma”
con Superior Court, March Term, 1852.
VV. YV. CORBITT, Clerk.
[ Communicated. ]
HARD PRESENTMENTS.
Mr. Editor: It is due myself and the
cause ol truth, that I should notice the
General Presentments of the Grand Ju
ry of this County reported at the last term
of our Superior Court, so far as they re
late to my official acts as Clerk of the In
ferior Court and County Treasurer.
You will perceive that I am presented
for having kept the Books of the Clerk
of me interior Court in a bad and slov
enly manner, —as having no system in
keeping the books relating to the Treas
urer’s office,—of having failed to charge
myself with, and of accounting for mon
ey belonging to the County,—of having
mutilated and destroyed a part of the
books in which the receipts and disburse
ments of the County funds are kept.—
and for misapplying and squandering
part of the taxes of the political year
185 n , and of still retaining a part of the
same in my hand.
During my absence front the State these
presentments were made. Had 1 been
present, such would not have been the
case.
In January, 1850, I was elected Clerk
of the Inferior Court of the county; this
office 1 have kept and been continued in
ever since by the kindness and support
of our citizens. YVhelher such present
ments by the Grand Jury, under these
circumstances, were just to me or to them,
I submit to the impartial judgement of
the public, after making the following
statement:
The bonks of the Clerk’s office, though
not so neatly kept as some, would, as I
am informed by others, favorably com
pare with those kept by any previous oc
cupant of ihe office since the formation
of the county.
Again, other Grand Juries have hith
erto examined these same books, kept by
me exactly in the same way, and have by
their official presentments, which are io be
found upon the minutes of the Court, re
ported them as neatly kept. The Hon
orable Justices of the Inferior Court of!
the County, intelligent and ever attentive j
to the discharge of their duties, and to a
propet supervision of my official acts as
clerk, have not so understood them as to
fegl called upon to make any such charge
against me as this Grand Jury thought j
proper to make. On the contrary, so far
as 1 know or have any reason to believe, !
they have been entirely satisfied with them,
it will easily be perceived that these Jos.,
licet, who have occasion to examine the
books often, and the manner in which
they are kept, and who know how the en
tries are made, and why they are made,
should know infinitely more about them
than a Grand Jury unacquainted with
such matters, from a hurried and imper
fect glance at them. I allude to this fact
not only because it is entitled to consid
eration in my defence against the present
ments, hut also because it mny furnish an
excuse to those who made litem for the
injustice they may have done me.
The books of the Treasurer’s office
were kept by me as kept by those who
preceded me io the office, and the same
system observed—a system which seems
to have met the approval of all the pre
ceding Inferior Courts and Grand Juries
of the County. It consists in writing
down the receipts in favor of the county
on one page, and the disbursements on
the opposite one. In consequence of some
incorrect entries that were made by me in
this book, i cut front it two leaves so as
to make the proper entries on the pages
immediately following, and which were
accordingly made. This circumstance
was seized upon as the basis-of a charge
for the mutilation and destruction of the
books. The clerk of the Superior Court
of the county has been my deputy as
Clerk of the inferior Court. He saw
those leaves displaced—knew the entries
they contained—knew where they were
at the lime the books were examined by
the Grand Jury; and could have produ
ced them if dial body had called for them.
This much they certainly ought to have
done if they had suspected any riling
wrong from the absence of these leaves,
as I could not be there to give them such
tacts and explanations as would have
given satisfaction.
I am further charged with misapplying
and squandering the money received from
the taxes of the political year 1850. The
County Treasurer has no authority to
apply the funds of the county to any pur
pose other than that ordered by the court;
and if I had the Inferior Court would
have called me to account for it; but such
, was not the fact. 1 accounted for every
I cent of those taxes I received. 1 receiv
! ed only a part of them—the other part
the Inferior Court allv.wed the Tax Col
lector so retain for the building of Buck
Creek Bridge which they had a right to
do, and which was done iu good lailh,
and for the good of the county. For
this act of theirs, however, I ought not
to be held responsible, i did not receive
those taxes, and of course I could nut
pay them out.

TO TUE P. S. AND MEMBERS OF HANNAH
UNION NO. 2 D. OP T.
Your committee appointed to draft a
preamble and resolutions as a token us
our respect for our beloved sister Cherry
beg leave to submit the following—
What is Death? VY’herefo-e are such
heartrending emo/inns produied by this
change of existence—bv this exchange of
worlds? Were we unmindful of God’s
promises, and of the immutability of his
laws, we would not thus grieve when He
in His good time removes from this earth !
those who have, by their Christian vir- j
lues, left behind, for their friends, assn- :
ranees that the change is nothing less >
than an inconceivable increase of joy and
happiness. But we are mortals and grieve \
as mortals are wont to grieve, and per
haps ’(is rigid thus to grieve.
Hgaiti we are apprized of the loss of
another sister of uir order—the third of
the original twelve.
Annin we have assembled in our Union
Room, as a hand of sisters, lo perform
the last act of doty, and to offer the last
tribute of respect to our departed sister
Sarah Cherry.
Sister Clteriy breathed her last in die
city of Oglethorpe, on Saturday morning
she 10th ult., after an illness of six days,
; and was interred in this place on the liilt
j ult
She removed to Oglethorpe last fall,
! but so attached was she lo oor order, that !
the, although residing in a distant city,
’ claimed her membership and paid prompt- ’
ly her dues. She was a sister well be
loved, and her example worthy of imita- !
lion.
To lament her loss she has left behind
a sprightly son, five years of age, a dis- j
consolate husband, and many near and
dear relations.
The Presbyterian Church, 100, has lost
one of its meekest members, but we are j
cheered with strong hopes that her gain ■
is unutterably great.
Resolved, That the members of Han.. |
nah Union deeply deplore the sad neces..
sity which compels them lo surrender
their Ulloved sister to the rightful sover. ;
eign.
Resolved, That we wear the usual
badge of mourning for thirty days—that
the regalia and furniture of the Union
Room be clad in mourning for and during
four successive regular meetings.
Resolved, That we tender our warm
est sympathies to her bereaved husband
and family, and as we mourn in their be
reavement in mutual condolence, may
we all learn a lesson for good.
Resolved, That a copy of this day’s
proceedings be tendered to the bereaved
husband of the deceased, and that they
also be published.
Mrs. M. F,. BREWE/2,
Mrs. S\LINA TAYLOR.
