FOR THE OKOROIA CITIZEN. Nr. Toombs’ Misrepresenta tion* Mr. Editor : I propose briefly to review the speed) of the Hon. Robert Toombs,*de livered at Forsyth, on the 2d day of Septem ber, 1857. He commenced by saying it was his desire on the present occasion, to hear from his fellow-citizens who had enroll ed with the American party. Now, the Honorable Senator is something like the ne gro that was sent to hunt for the axe that was hid in a corner of the fence. Helook o | in every corner of the fence for the axe but the r.ght one, and the one he knew where the axe was to befound. So bythe Honorable Senator. The American party, by resolu tion, at Oglethorpe, some three weeks ago, invited Robert Toombs to meet Hill thereon the 19th September, and ho should have equal terms with Mr. Hill in the discussion. Do you think the Hon. Senator will look in the corner of the fence where he has been told and knows the axe can bo found ? No I He has felt die edge of that instrument ; it cuts deep and bleeds profusely. There is a great deal of stale trash and rubbish in the Senator’s speech winch I shall not notice, but confine myself to what he calls the living issue. He says he wishes the question de cided, who has departed from the true polit ical principles. It the Hon. Senator has not departed from the true doctrine of non-inter vention, as held and taught by Calhoun and Berrien, how comes it that we find Martin Van Buren and Robert Toombs agreeing in fact and doctrine as to the policy of regulat ing and disposing of the subject of slavery in the Territories ? Van Buren's doctrine is that the question of slavery should be left to the residents of the Territory, and not to the resident citizen, and citizens of the Unit ed States. Mr. Toombs says, “In the bill for the organization of the Territory of Kan sas. we permit all the residents to vote. — The Hon. Senator could not support Gen. Cass in 1848, because in his Nicholson letter he said the people of the Territory ought to be left freo to regulate their domestic at tains. What is a resident and inhabitant ami bona fide settler i Neither one of the three terms means a citizen. They all mean what Gen. Cass meant, m 1848, when he said the people. All the above terms a- used by Toombs, Van Buren, den. Cass and Buchan an, include the alien who is not a citizen of the United States, and who may have been in the United States only 20 or 30 days. To be aresident of a State does not, aud cannot make a man a citizen of a State, aud ought not, Trow, as it never did before, until the Van Buren principle was incorporated into the Kansas bill. ’(tlrnlT 1 T'fvi-'Wt 1 ’ TrantTwrHlT,yTnnt. thw.dvh. the reßiJoiu uitizen bill incorporated into jt. They riff road none hut those who were in the Territory at the t,ine us the passage of this act or none but citizens of the United States shall note in the Territory. In tiie early history of the Government, the practice was to express the teirtoi rial bills thus—“none but those who were in the Territory at tiie time of the passage of the act, could vote or hold office.” The reason for that was, there were few or no foreigners coming to this country, aud there was no necessity for their going into the ter ritories, as the States were but tifinly settled. So soon, however, as they began to come in large numbers, the other words were added to the qualification of voters, none but citi zens ot the United States should vote or hold office in the Territories. Mr. Toombs says it has been the policy of the Govern ment to allow aliens to vote in the Territo ries. It has neither been the policy of the Government, nor the doctrine of the South N fe tiinein mail ever dared to vote for and defend alien suffrage in the Territories, except Mr. Toombs. To prove it has nei ther been the policy of the country, nor a doctrine of the South, it is only necessary to look at the vote on the Clayton amend ment to the Kansas bill. Every Southern Senator in Congress voted for the resolution, that none but citizens of the Unit< and States shall vote and hold office in the Territory of Kansas, (Page 520, Congressional Globe, vol. 28, part Ist, 1853 and 1854.) It has been the policy oi the North to try and fasten it on the South. Douglass and Cass labored to engraft the principle in the Utah and New Mexico bills, but failed. If the Senator’s object was the repeal of the Missouri restriction, how could the Leg islature ot Georgia sanction and instruct him to vote for a fact and principle on the 17th day of February, that never was of fered as an amendment or submitted bv Judge Douglas before the 15th day of Feb ruary, 1854, only two days from the time it was introduced iu the Senate of the United States, before the Legislature of Georgia sanctioned aud instructed him to vote for it ? I leave Mr. Toombs to reconcile the thing, (see Congressional Globe page 421, vol. 28, part Ist, 1853 and 1854.) Mr. Toombs, on the 2d day of September, 1857, tells you the Ordinance of 1787 ex c'uded slavery from the Territories. On the 27th day of February, 1850, he says the ac lion ut Congress in the Ordinance of 1787. tloeu riot contravene the principle that tli • i Urriiory is open to slavery and i:s protec tion there! He invokes the great name ol ” “ B *>ington to sustain him in the declaration that alien suffrage in the Territories has been the policy of the Government, and names in proof the Ordinance of 1787, as signed by that good man. The reason the Hon. Sena- I tor calls to his aid the name of Washington, I is that he hopes, by the charms.of that name ‘ to reconcile the South, and make the peo- j pie forget ttiat the South, with a singular unanimity of sentiment and action, has uni- [ formly opposed and voted against the doc- I trine of alien suffrage in the Territories.— 1 And why ? Because it is the doctrine with which Seward, Hale, Chase, Sumner and | Douglass means to crush out the life blood of j the South in the Territories. The Hon. So- I nator will exenseme when I give him the j reason lie gave, oil the 27 th day of Februa ry, 18)0, why the Ordinance of 1787, did not exclude the slave owner from carrying his negroes into the Territories, and were j there adequately protected. Mr. Toombsmid “Mr. Madison said the Or- j ilinance o f 1787 tees void for want of power | in the Old Government. ‘ (Appendix to Con gressional Globe, page 200, v 01.22, part Ist, 1849 and 1850.) While Toombs in 1850, in the House of Representatives was denounc ing Cass’ alien suffrage and squatter sover eignty in the Territories, Seward, Douglass and Cass were defending it in the Senate of the United States. In Macon, he gave as a reason for his opposition to Gen. Cass, his doctrine of squatter sovereignty, which doctrine Gen. Cass says is in the Kansas bill. He says that Mr. Hill says the first time the doctrine that any but the citizens should vote in the establishment of a State Government, was started by Mr. Bimhanan in 1848. Now Mr. Toombs says lie lias Mr. Hill's letter be fore him. I ask the attention of those who heard and read that speech of Mr. Toombs, to note what Mr. Hill did say at that point in his letter. Mr. Hill says, “As far as I have been able to search, this is the first time the idea was ever suggested of leaving the question of slavery to the inhabitants or all the people of the Territory without re gard to citizenship.” You now have before you what Toombs said Hill did say, and also what llill did say I Mr. Iliil is right, for Mr. Buchanan was the first that proposed to use the inhabitants of the territory as an en gine of power to exclude slavery, lor he urged the policy of going for the Missouri line, and to satisfy his Northern brethren who were lor the Wilmot Proviso. He told them that the inhabitants of that territory south of 3G deg. 30 min. would have the right to ex clude slavery, and a majority of the people of ttiat region, would not consent to estab lish it. Why? Mr. Buchanan says, “be cause a large portion of the population are negroes, and do uot socially belong to a de graded race. That was the reason why the Hon. W. L. Yancey, of Ala., refused to support Buchanan and Cass in the Conven tion that nominated Cass in 1848? 1 wish the people to notice the misrepresentation’s of Mr. Toombs. It is a pointer, lor the gen tleman’s friends to look at, lor it was a elelib ''vOXe rrrrrmmtrrrr 1 -ufjiM.T.ii, ami ‘ ry. “frm w. *T when he did it. Again, Mr. Hill is right when he says they passed 70 internal improvement bills at one session. To explain and let the people know who is and who is not right, 1 refer them to the Congressional Globe of 1855 aud 1856. Look under the head of “Grants,” and you will find 10 or 15 amendments to one bill granting lands to us many different States. Consolidate these grants to the dif ferent States under the bills, as named by Mr. Toombs, and you will find Mr. Hill is right aud Toombs wrong. There were at one session passed 70 bills of internal im provements. Mr. Toombs asks that he may lie judged by the effects of the measure he supports. Well, you in passing the Kunsa bill, have practically inaugurated the doc trine of alien suffrage, and that the people of the territory, in a legislative capacity, may or may not legislate on the subject of slave ry. What is the effi-ct ? You have, by voiir legislation, gotten up a contest be tween the North and South, to see who “hall soonest populate the territory. Not. willing that the South should have ttie North alone as a competitor, you fasten up on your own section the world as her rival for supremacy in the territory. Where is the equality or justice in a principle that gives to the world the right to dispose of the South's interest in the territory? “Go wash in the pool of Siloam.” LOWNDES. ! >.s3s>‘- “\ ft*•4'.

Toombs’ IHisrepi'cscntations.—"Ai ask the attention of every reader to the Communication of"Lowndes.” in to-day’s paper, showing up the prevu rfeations and misrespres-'iitaiions of the Honorable Robt. Toombs We think that this expose may he strictly sampled as one of the “tight papers” we read of 1 ft is respectful to the honorable Senator, but is a just and withering rebuke of that gentleman for his many political tortuosities and remarkable mistatements of fact and record. We tender him equal room for a reply it he thinks “Lowndes” worthy of his attention. “ til Hie Recency.” If tiny thing were wanting to show the desperate fortunes of the Brown De mocracy, tin- insane ravings of the pen sioned press of Atlanta, against the Hon. Bciij. 11. iliil. and their vile abuse of one of’ the noblest, purest men of tho_ State, at this time, would prove tile fact to a demonstration. Verily, the maxim, •■whom the gods wish to destroy, they first make mad, has, in this particular found an example and a verification. No language is too low for the “Examiner,” flllif bitynm-’ to use to wank r. Iliil, for no other reason that we can perceive, than that his prospects of election to the L’fiief Magistracy are be coming brighter every day, an event which will be the signal For the downfall of those who have “grown fat and kick ed ‘ on the spoils of the State Road— No wonder, they tremble in their shoes, when they see the “hand writing on the wall” but nevertheless, they should have sense and decency enough not to overdo their own work of defamation, if they wish it to have effect. To show our readers that we do not speak at random, we select a few choice phrases epithets culled from one is sue of each of the papers named; The “Intelligencer” says, BRAND THE SLANDERER. Ur. Hill’s disregard for fruth, long since made deplorably manifest, is now aggravated by his wanton violation of decency. We venture the assertion that never before, in the history of party po lities in this Slate, has any public man given such exhibitions, on the stump of shameless disregard of the claims of truth, justice and self respect. * * ■Ben Hill, by long, sharp professional praetice.no doubt, cannot conceive how a man can better his fortunes, in a twelve month, but by stealing, and to stealing he naturally enough refers the whole, thing for an easy solution. Contempti ble charlatan and calumniator—like a vile maggot fly. the man is crawling over the whole universe, to find some ednge nial rotten spot, upon which he would spurn (?) the creations of his intellect. ****** “And here we have a man asking us to elevate his little soul into the high plaoc of Governor of this noble old State, I that goes poking and nosing about like 1 a vile vermin, into every corner of a} man's private affairs, that nobody buti? ruffian or a rogue would invade much less I hoid up to public desecration. But hoi will in due time return back to his old! .and congenial vomit, never more, we feel 1 Certain, to disgust and demoralize the; public, by the exercise of his base arts.” The “Examiner” is a little more re-; spectful, but is perhaps quite as severe.* , It navs of Mr. Hill, that it has “never | known a public! man. who has in so many : eases, without grounds, without measure’ | without dignity, or regard for public deA oeney, outraged that propriety and grto vity of deportment that should ev* | mark the course of a leading public man! Me has in many cases, as we hear, acted ! directly towards his honorable opponent on the stand with disrespectful freedom and levity of manner, and descended to those petty tricks of tho stump more fit fitting the character of the charlatan jjifl player, than the status of a caudidatiß the highest office in our gift.” M . Tnnt paper also calls Mr. Hill a “re morseless aristocrat,’’ the “candidate of (he broadcloth gentry” a “wandering .lew, asking men. and devils for all they | van do to put him into office,” with oth-1 1 cr such i ibnldry ! Vud what is Mr. Hill's oflenoe, dear reader, that he should be thus stigma - ! t ized by this brace of worthies, who con j trol the columns of a portion of tliepub ; lie Press ! Why, simply because Air. i Hill lias had occasion to speak of certain loose management and corrupt practices, in the conduct of the State Road, which • j have come to his knowledge, and which i are, in part at least, confessed to be true j I by these inaligners, themselves! That the public may form some idea of the reliance to be placed on the state ments of the “Intelligencer,” and “Ex aminer” in reference to Mr. Hill, we take the liberty of informing them that the “Examiner” is owned by O. A. Loch rane, Esq., of this city, the naturalized “citizen of Georgia,” by special act, af ter only eighteen months residence in the country, and that Maj. Steele is the Ed itor, hired to do the work of defaming his old Whig friends, for the benefit of bogus Democracy. The “Intelligencer” is owned and edit ed by a young sprig of the law, of the name of Duncan, who has for a number 1 of years, been the special pet of his Ex- ] ccllency, Gov. Johnson, and whom Bob Toombs once dubbed a “little übiquitous devil, who was everywhere, in every body's way.” He has a “fat take” as Printer for the State Road, and, if report says true, helps to swell, considerably, the item of “construction” in the expense account of the road. Hence, he very disinterestedly, of course, does not wish Air. Hill elected Governor of Geotgia. I’ reemou of Georgia and Americans! will you not make one strong, united and : continuous effort from now till the day of election, to vindicate the fair fame of your gallant standard-bearer, B. 11. Hill, from the aspersions attempted to be east upon him. \\ e say attempted, because, thank God, the spittle of vipers that crawl so low, can never reach higher than the shoe-latchet of the object of its malice. 4’lie Const nationalist and Our self. The very dignified Editor of the Constitution ■ ia .. too . Cud ou the s', ftis I.<y* •h-compiactifey, to be at all approach able b\ common men, but as lie has condescen ded to notice us, indirectly, and to insinuate that our Journal is not only “careless” but “unscrup ulous” in “making nlfroad assertion” but fool ish enough at the same time to “furnish the ev idenee-which grov"s‘it to be false,” we may be pardoned for this feeble attempt to set ourselves right,, in the matter at issue between us. “A cat niav look at a King,” therefore, dear Sir, al low an humble .American to look you in the face, if wi)cannot hope to reach your superior judg ment] and understanding. The Constitutionalist, ohjeets to -our version of the following passage in the President's Let ter tp the Connecticut Parsons:— “TPio convention will soon nssemhlo to per form tile solemn dutv of framing a Constitution for themselves and their posterity: and in the state of incipient rebellion which still exists in Kansas it is m v imperative duty to emplov the troops of the United States, should this become necessary, in defending the convention ntrainst violence whilst framing the Constitution, and in projecting the “bona fide inhabitants!” qualified to vote under the provision of this instrument, in the freo exercise of the ritrbt of suffrage, v’hni it shall he. submitted to them for their approbation or rejection.” We thought and still think that this Letter contains the odious doctrine of squatter sovereign ty. and that Mr. Buchanan has taken for granted what his man Walker has dictated must be done, toywit—that the Constitution of the Kansas C-ttivention must be submitted to all the “bona -o(|p inhabitants” of the Territory, or else Kansas would not be admitted into tho eonfederaeyof the states. The Constitutionalist thinks that the idirase, “qualified to vote under the provisions of i- instrument !” in the above extract, proves tlfiit 1> Buchanan meant only to say that the •strident citizens” qualitWflTb ’vote by act of the ’Bfiritoriai Legislature, should exercise that priv ilege and be protected in doing so, by the Mili- power of the country. fWp think that this is a far fetched inference. If Mr. Buchanan did not intend to intervene ft:te Executive influence in this matter, why men tion it at all just in time to influence tho Con tention i Herein is seen the “cloven foot” of interference, which is so dangerous So the South. As the Charleston Courier well pays, ou this very point, “Coming from the [President of the United Sta tes, the dispenser of letars and garters and the holder of the Veto pow er; this amounts to dictation to the Convention _of Kansas. What right had Mr. Buchanan to use private language, in reference to an uncer tain event, to a hypothetical case ? Wlmt right or warrant had lie to say, “When it (the Consti tution of Kansas) shall be submitted to them (the people of Kansas) for their approbation?” It .is obvious that ho should at loast have put the matter with an “if’—the peacemaker “if.” In selecting the positive instead of the hypothetical, his object could only have been covertly to en dorse Walkerißm.” This assumption of the President was unwar rantable, because the Legislature of Kansas had already ordained that none but “resident citi zens” who had registered their names on the 13 th of March lust, should vote and hold office in the Territory.” If lie was not auxious for the con vention to enlarge the area of suffrage, why say any tiling about the submission of the Constilu- j lion baek to tin) “Inna fide inhabitants.” Why not have used the legislative phrase ot ‘citizens ?’ ! Tliere eau be but one answer to tills question, and i timt answer manifestly and palpably implicates Buchanan in a strong desire to carry out the j views of Gov. Walker in his Inaugural address and Topoka speech, when tho latum said, lie did not mean those who were residing there on the 13th March last—but not only those who were there then but those who will bo there next fall os “actual residents.” The Black Republicans in their convention of March 20th, demanded the same tiling, and tho National Democracy represented in Kansas are now clamorous for , the extension of the elective franchise beyond what the Legislature of the Territory provided, also the submission of the constitution to the vote of tho “ bona-fide inhabitants.” The reader will notice that tho term citizen is no where used by the President or his man Walker. Is this not prima facie evidence that this dictation by the President was intended to operato upon tho Convention to bring that about which the Legislature of the Territory, working under the organic act of Congress di A not see proper to do ? Mark it, that this organic act stipulated that “the qualifications of voters and of hold ing office at all subsequent elections, (to the first,) shall be such as shall be prescribed by the Legislative Assembly.” Gov. Walker, howevsr, steps in, and as the authorized and unrecalled agent of the President, a man in whom tiie President says lie has full confi dence, declares that all the people shall vote there next October, whether “citizens” of j Kansas or not—thus basely truckling to the S demands of Black Republicanism. It was this very interference of Walker that called forth tho 3d Resolution of the Georgia State Convention, demanding the recall of Walk er, which demand has not yet been answer ed by the President, although he had time to reply to the Abolitionists of Connecticut, whom the Editor of the Constitutionalist denounces as “incorrigible, pharisaical, dog matic, anti-slavery fanatics, whose counsels have been denounced by the people of their own vicinage.” We repeat then, that this is tho true in terpretation of Mr. Buchanan’s letter to the Connecticut preachers, and “its meaning cannot be misunderstood by any intelligent man who is disposed to construe it fairly,” to use the Editor’s own language. By the way, is not the Editor as liable to a bias in favor of Buchanan as we are liable to be influenced against him ? Is it uot as far from his house to to ours, as from ours to his ? Such being the case, we submit wheth er all the facts and circumstances of the case are not in favor of the presumption that Buchanan is playing into tho hands of the Northern Freesoil Democracy and to make Kansas a free State. , . “Wu therefore, thaLuut* coteropcAftr . ry of the” Constitutionalist “whenever he makes a broad unfounded assertion” in im putation of the veracity or understanding of his brethren of the press, will pause and reflect whether his otvu position as a newly fledged convert to Democracy may not jus tify the presumption that he, like all new proselytes, has more zeal than knowledge, or “a zeal not according to knowledge 1” Aleck Stephens—tle Trimmer. In reply to the Constitutionalist who said it was “a notorious fact)that Mr. Stephens was prominent, active and in fluential in the re-insertion of the alien suffrage clause of the Kansas Bill,” the Griffin Union states another fact not quite so notorious, hut destined to be so, in the history of Air. Stephens, that “ Mr. S. himself introduced a hill into the House WITH THE CITIZEN SUF FRAGE SUBSTITUTED FOR THE ALIEN SUFFRAGE CLAUSE and further that “ Mr. Toombs introduced precisely the same bill into the Senate I Mr. Trippe has a copy of these bills in his possession as originally printed for the use of Congress ! And yet Stephens and Toombs threw aside their own bills and took up with the Black Republican substitutes of Richardson and Douglass, and are now advocating alien suffrage and foreign emigration of paupers and felons into this country ! Was there ever such a pair of inconsistent and unprincipled politicians! Let the people mark these things and mete gift, deserved punishment to the’ demagogues. Literary Notices. T B Peterson, N. 300 Chesnut street, Philadelphia, has tho following valuable works in press and shortly to be issued. The Lost Daughter , and other True sto ries of the Heart, by the late Mrs. Caro line Lee Ilentz, author of so many beau tiful novellettes. This work will be published in one large Duodecimo vol ume, neatly bound in cloth, for $1.25, or in two volumes paper cover, for SI.OO, and a copy will be sent by mail free of postage, on receipt by Air. P, of the price of the work. The “ Lost Daught er” has never before been published, and is said to be equal in interest to the best of Mrs. Ilentz’s works. Mrs. Hale's Receipts for the million, containing 4,545 Receipts, Facts, Direc tions Knowledge, etc., in the useful, or namental and domestic arts, and in the conduct of life, being a complete Family Directory and household guide for the j million, &c., Szc., by Mrs. Sarah J.

This is practical work cf great utility and the most’ complete work of the kind ever published. Mr. Stephens Cornered. In a discussion between Mr. Stephen.* ; and Thomas W. Miller, at Augusta, Mr. M, charged Stephens with saying, during ! the last canvass “Elect me and save Han. xus. This Mr. Stephens denied, when Malconiß. Jones Esq. was given as Mil ler’s authority. Mr. .Jones, however, when called on, did not sustain Miller. — He found it convenient not to recollect giving the information to Mr. M„ who was therefore compelled to waive his ac cusation. At Appling, however, Air. M. j repeated the charge, in presence of Aleck, ; and called upon the assembled multitude : to confirm what he said, whereupon Mr. Jesse Walton, a highly respectable gen tleman, rose up and said he heard Mr. Stephens say so. Air. Stephens, thus confronted with the witness against him, (says a correspondent of the Chronicle d-Sentinel,) “stood mute, and ‘like a lamb led to the slaughter, opened not his mouth.” What a humiliating specticle! Another correspondent of the same paper, revives the charge, that in 1855, Mr. Stephens tried to drive a bargain with the Delegates to the American Con vention, held in this city, and that Air. S. stated on that occasion, that he expected to act with the American party, and that the “naturalization laws of the United States ought to be so revised and amend ed, as to exclude all foreign paupers and criminals, and so thoroughly to check and prevent those gross frauds and abus es which now attend their administration.’ This is, we think, a true bill; for wa distinctly recollect that certain delegates front W arren and Alorgan and perhaps Wilkes, made an effort to get the plat form to be adopted by that Convention, so framed, as to meet the views of Air. Stephens, and, we believe, partially suc ceeded. What say Mr. Pottle. Colonel Reese and Air. Sneed, in regard to this matter? We rather think they know something about it, especially Air. Pot tle.
