Repent right lie down before the people take Sbpitkbkk 10th, 1859. It was Madame Trollope or some other Bri tish libeller of our country and people, who said that one of the inherent evils of our Re publican institutions was “the proneness and temptation to lying, which seemed to be the besetting sin of candidates for public office, especially .among the ignorant and credulous masses of the American people.” The author of this libel, whether a he or she, one would suppose had taken a peep or two behind the curtains, at the Opposition managers of the canvass now going <>n in your gallant State; and. in the haste to get at conclusions, judg ed the intelligence of the people by the stan dard of jxiliticAl morality there witnessed. Do you not sec this truth exemplified every day? Why, if the worthy Superintendents of your Slate Roads were to answer one-twen tieth part of the infamous fabrications that are put forth by unscrupulous partisans, and fiud a willing medium to the public eye in certain journals of Georgia, that, like the old maid in the play “have outlived their viitue,” l.c might, as well, at ones, ask for leave of ab sence till after October, and betake himself to the pen and cow-skin. In like manner, your candidates for Congress are sometimes forced out of their legitimate duty of enlightening the people in regard to the true issues which the coining elections must decide, for weal or for woe. to expose the miserable shifts to which, for want of argument, their competi- tors resort in their harangues before the peo ple. And yet there never was a period in our country’s history when it was more important that the people should know “the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth,” than the present. The administration of the Government lias been denounced as extrava gant, but the facts and figures show it to be and to have been, one of the most economical. all things considered, since the days of Thomas Jefferson. 3ut I adverted to this in a former letter. False and unfounded as the charge is. I only recur to it now to observe that were it true and tcu times worse, the extravagance of an administration otherwise sound, reliable and honest, is unworthy the consideration of Southern patriots, when infamy, dishonor and subjection to a horde of Northern fanat ics and traitors is the alternative which is be- lore them, if they turn their hacks upon the only party that is capable of saving their honor and maintaining their rights in the Confederacy. that ‘ 'thirty thousand major- V.

In Piyhtx Render*, remember, i the ballot box, on the first t umutli. that Warren Akin, netiug his Union horn, said, lth Carolina secede, he would 1 troops, to whip her back. I say it now, and write the words with all the solemnity and earnestness which a con sciousness of their truth and an active parti cipation in National and State politics for more than a quarter of a century inspire ; the real issue before the people, atod especially in the Southern States, is, Tiik South under the Constitution, a free and sovereign mem ber of tiie Confederacy; or the South, under the Higher Law, an abject appendage to Northern supremacy. This is the issue—the real issue—the only issue now before the peo ple. They may. like the miserly wretch de nounced by Patrick Henry for urging his claim for some bullocks killed to feed our starving patriots during the Revolutionary out “beef, beef, beef,” or money, money, money, which is the same thing ; but let them re member t hat the withering curses of unborn generations will blast, both in time and eter nity, the craven-hearted dupes who, in this hour of our country’s need, will surrender our liberties, our honor and our rights to a heartless coalition pledged to make war upon our domestic institutions. On their banner is now engraved their bloody, heartless motto, “An irrepressible conflict between free and slave labor.” This is their leader’s war-cry, and this will he the tocsin to rally the Oppo sition during the approaching Congress. This is seller reality. Is not Henry Winter Davis, 01 Baltimore, the dastardly traitor who rep resented a Southern Commercial City in the last two Congresses, and is likely to represent it in the next—the acknowledged leader of the Southern Opposition ! Hcis, par excellence, the Know-Nothing orator of the House, and par adroit, the Benedict Arnold of the South. Hr would lie the political guide, counsellor and associate of every Opposition member that Georgia sends to the next Congress. I care not liow patriotic they may be, or fancy themselves to lie. They me not Democrats, and cannot, therefore, mingle and commune and associate with Democrats. They must, from the force of circumstances, take their place with the Southern Opposition, and of necessity acknowledge the leadership of Henry Winter Davis. Is Georgia prepared for his apostacy and principles ? In accepting the nomination, he delivered a lengthy speecli on last Monday night, before a Baltimore audience, composed exclusively of the “Opposition party.” It is published in the American of the next eve ning. 1 am precise in regard to dates, be cause I know Col. Wright and those who sup port him would otherwise doubt the fact. In bis speecli be said, “the Opposition in the South must unite with the Opposition in the North to hurl from power the Democratic party.” And he elaborates this infamous proposition of a union lietween Southern Know-Nothings and Northern Black Republi cans to defeat the Democracy.

C. all with the North, and not with the South;” and with a view to inflame the populace and justify his own apostacy, he added, “South ern Democrats invariably voted against every measure calculated to benefit Baltimore, while Northern Republicans invariably voted with me to carry them through.” This is the traitor who is ready to le ’gtie with A\ m. H. Seward in extirpating slave labor from the South, and substituting the free labor that has already succeeded so admirably in Hayti, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, and else where. Are the voters of Georgia prepared 1 for this ? What say the freemen of the 4th Congressional District? Am I told Col. Wright is too good a gentle man to associate or unite with such a crew of traitors as will surround Davis next Congress? I have already answered the objection. He is not of the Democracy—he must be some where—or he onght not to be there. In these times, we cannot spare a man. The Demo cratic party is our only anchor of safety. It is tiie only bulwark we can oppose to the co alitions and cofli binations of the next Con gress. Every vote given against it, I care not to whom or under what circumstances of palliation or apparent justification it may be given, is a vote given to the enemies of the South. It will help to place a dagger in the bauds of the assassin and cut-throat, to be imbrued in the blood of our wives and daugh ters. MACON.

Advertising. “Hide.not vour light under a bushel,” is a maxim peculiarly applicable to business men. Experience has lully demonstrated that where a man, in a commercial community, has any thing to sell, he must not keep dark about it; he must bold it up in contact with that uni versal and powerful reflector and illuminator the public press; he must, paradoxically, light it up with ink—printer’s ink ; and he must not do this once, or twice, or three times, but persistently, systematically. There is as much skill and tact, and, oftentimes, as much boldness, to be displayed in advertising, as in conducting the mort extensive and diffi cult business operation; and your Louis Na poleon of advertisers will move his forces, now to the front, now to the rear, now on the flanks—sometimes en tirailleur, sometimes in solid column—here cautiously, there with im petuosity—“the light of battle on his brows while your Francis Joseph, will move on at the same old routine, rarely capturing public at tention, often driven back by his more skill ful and daring competitor. To advertise properly costs money, but it invariably repays the investment a hundred fold. You will find many sensible men who will calmly utter the paradox, that they have often advertise*!, but it has never benefit ted them an iota. They expect the public to walk into their stores, and holding up their poor, little advertisements, inserted once a month, in some out-of-the-way corner of a big paper, exclaim : “You have candles—give me can dles ; you have fish hooks—give me fish hooks!” Egregious error ! The main object for advertising is to impress this Mr. Public with an ineffaceable idea of your name and lo cality and special occupation; so that, if he ever see or hear tbe one, he will instinctively, impulsively, inesistably think of the other.— Once this linked sweetness established in Mr. Public’s mind—and only persistent, skillful advertising will do it—you can then vary your efforts, go into details, draw up a col umn of groceries, or a half column of Western produce, or a quarter column of outer and un der garments, adroitly calling in, now and then, the aid of poetry, or mathematics, or history, or geography, to titillate the palate of the scientific, the i magi native, or the gen erally well instructed reader. It would take a column or two of illustra tions to fully explain these principles. We have neither the time nor the space to draw them out. but offer these suggestions simply FRIDAY, SEJTEMBER Iff, 1859.

To the Editor of The N. Y. Daily News: In your paper of this morning you copy a letter of a New York correspondent of the Charleston Mercury,in which it is said that “Judge Meek and Judge Forsyth of Alabama, tried and trusty friends of Douglas, are now in the city for the purpose of attending a secret convention of Douglas Democrats, soon to be held here, to devise ways and means for the advancement of their man.” This statement as tar as I am concerned, is utterly without foundation. I am not now, and never have been, an advocate of the election of Mr. Doug las to the Presidency; cor, in view of the doctrines he entertains as to territorial sover eignty, as propounded particularly in his re cent article in Harper’s Magazine, can I ever give him my support. Having been recently elected to the Ala bama Legislature from the City and County of Mobile, with a lull knowledge by the people of my sentiments in this respect, I am unwil ling that a statement, which is being widely copied in the papers, should ’go uncontradic- tcd. Will you do me the favor therefore to insert this card in your columns. Ncry respectfully, yours, &c., A. B. MEEK. New York, Sept. 6, 1859. Hon. I.. J. Gartrcll. We have been asked why we don’t write more about this gentleman. 'We simply an swer BECAUSE HE DORS not need it. He will be elected without the aid of any one. True we love to speak in praise of great men, and no one more deserves the laudations of the peo ple of the Fourth District, or of the people of Georgia, than does Lucius J. Gartrell. His manly, unswerving and patriotic course in the last Congress entitles him to the respect, and support of every voter in the District. There is not a single act of his in the last Congress that can be attacked by a Southern man. He has not made a speech during the present campaign but he utterly demolished his oppo nent, making new friends, and strengthening the great cause which he advocates so zeal ously. We have not heard a single voice raised against him in his own paity, which is uncommon. They have avowed tbeir great unshaken confidence in him by his unanimous re nomination for the office he filled w ith so much credit to himself, and so much honor to his constituents' Of his opponent we know nothing, therefore of him we have nothing to say. But we cannot believe that the j>eo- ple of this district are willing to give up so faithful, true and tried friend of their rights, for one untried, and for one who leaves their party to seek office from their enemies.—In dependent Press. State. We had a goodly number of extra cop ies of the paper, containing this letter, struck off, and they are gone. We wish we had sev eral hundred more. They would go like “hot cakes.” We hope our readers will make good use of our this week’s weekly. Hand it around. We think it a good campaign docu- V. ment. UpHas Gov. Brown’s Administration been a failure ? Let us examine and see. During liis administration we understand 45 thousand dollars of the State debt has been paid; one hundred thousand dollars of bonds not due, have been taken up, and 400,000 dollars paid into the treasury. The State Taxes have been greatly reduced, and are now lower than iu any State iu the Union. One hundred thou sand dollars in school funds lias been set apart at 7 per cent interest, and the number of chil dren at school increased almost one third.— These arc some of the prominent points of Governor Brown’s administration. Many more might be mentioned, and we intend to give more .hereafter, but these are sufficient to show/he people of Georgia what kind of a Governor Joe Brown has made. Are these failures ? It would be well for every State in the Union, if their Governors had made just such failures, it would have been well for Georgia if their Governors years gone by had made just such failures. We assert without the fear of successful contradiction, that the administration of no Governor in the history of Georgia has ever been more successful' [Federal Union. Improved Spring ffor Bed*tca*l*. Mr. Warlick, of Lafiyette. Ala., exhibited to us Oil Saturday, a new spring for bedsteads, which is his own invention. It is made en tirely of wood, and so simple that any ordi nary mechanic can make them, at a cost of a few' dollars, not exceeding five. In our judg ment it is fully equal, if not superior, to any thing that has yet been offered to the public, and if it bore the impress of New London, New York, or some other Northern town, it would supercede all other spring beds, but unfortunately, it hails from a Southern town and State, aiid will have to combat a mighty arm}' of prejudice to get into general use. It is the best arranged spring for steamboat berths we have ever seen, and should be adopted bv every one of them. Mr. Warlick will remain in our city a few days to exhibit liis patent, and we trust that before he leaves the city some one of our furniture dealers will secure the right to manufacture and sell them. We are satisfied that they need only be tried to come into general use, and super cede all others.—Columbus Sun. - * Akin and the Poor Woman off Cass, con trasted with Gov. Brown and Ills veto off tiie Poor Woman’s Bill of Augusta. The last Legislature passed a bill making a woman a free dealer, whose husband had taken up with a lewd woman and deserted his wife, aud spent all his property. From the statement of the Opposition press, the Augusta woman’s husband had deserted her for two years. She had had time a plenty to have gotten a divorce, long before she asked aid from the Legislature. The State of Geor gia had provided for just such cases as here. There was no need of her going to the Legis lature at all. She may not have wanted a divorce. Her duty to herself and children demanded of her to get one. Her husband had been an open and undisguised adulterer. He had not been even sly about bis infidelity to his marriage vows. He had set public opinion at defiance. He might reform. then she <tmid marry lum again, if slie was s.» terribly devoted to him. The Governor vetoed the bill, with several others of like character. “Class Legislation” of that sort, should always be avoided, if pos sible. There are thousands of women in Georgia needing what the Augusta woman asked, tis much as she did. Turn from this scene and contemplate Col. Akin and the poor woman of Cass, and see whose shoes you had rather take, Brown's or Akin’s? We will give the narrative concerning Col. Akin and the poor woman of Cass, as related by the Hon. A. R. Wright: “In the matter of the Martha Kinney case in Cass, I desire also to make a statement as the Col. has thus unceremoniously and unne cessarily dragged me before the public. That case was instituted by me for a widow against i the Road, for the killing, by running off the j cai-s, of a most promising son. The widow was poor, very poor, and the death of this son deprived her of her only means of support; lor the testimony showed he was a most affec tionate and dutiful sou, and gave his earnings regularly to support liis mother, and educate the younger children. I tried again and again to settle this case with the Superintendent, who was willing and anxious to do so, but for the Col.’sjoertt- nacious interference. I plead her poverty and the duty of the Road, and offered to give her every dollar of my own fee, if the Road would pay her a moderate sum. i inally she wrote me that she was sick, and had been for a long time, and was suffering for the necessaries of life, and “for God’s sake to get something from the Road for her.” I proposed to the Superintendent to take the amount of Col. Akin’s fee in that case, be the same more or less, so the Road could not lose. He said he would gladly do so, if the Col. would let him, by whose council he felt bound to be govern ed, The Col. declined to let him do it. I of fered to take three hundred dollars, iu view of her necessities, and give evert/ dollar to the widow; he declined this and controlled the Superin tendent agaiust his judgment. At last Cass court, or court before, I recovered upon llie appeal, within a few dollars of four thousand. He then quit the case and refuted to take it, without another fee, to the Supreme Court. The Road was compelled to employ other counsel or let the veidict stand. And this is the gentleman who arraigns Gov. Brown’s “Democratic friends” for small services and large fees. |gp \Ve adopt the language of the Macon Telegraph, respecting the low abuse of Gov. Brown of which his competitor is guilty: “And who is it that they abuse in this way ? A man of the simplest and most frugal habits and tastes—a pvofessing Christian, and one known to be remarkably punctUlious in the discharge <*f liis religious duties. A man who at every step of life, from the humblest boy hood, lure marked his career by a stem and unlicnding integrity of character—a lawyer without blemish—a Judge against whom cal umny never breathed a slander—a Governor who has manifested a singleness ot purpose to serve the State—a faithful vigilance over her pecuniary interests, which has won him the title of honest, and long divided even the Op position itself on the policy of opposing his re-election! Such injustice to such a man, will reap its reward from a generous people. It will raise a storm of indignation which will teach his opponents that no amount of gratu itous calumny can blacken a life-won reputa tion. * ‘•Oh that some power the gift would give us, To see oursolves, as others see us.” Upon enquiring as to flie reasons why the Col. exhibited so much spleen aganist my client, who lived in his own town, and was a member of his own church, I was told her younger son, who sometimes drank too much, had upon some occasion, in this condition., abus ed the Col. This was enough. The Col’s dignity, which is much the larger half of him, was offended. Woe be to the luckless wight, who disturbs him in the contemplation of his own proportions. Reader, have you read the above extract carefully ? What think you of Col. Akin ?— Judge Wright knows Akin well; he knows him, as the 8aying is, “like a book.” He has known him for years. Don’t you think Col. Akin had better hush about that Augusta woman? What do you think of the “immac ulate” Akin, as portrayed by Judge Wright? Don’t you think the milk of human kindness, if he had any in his bosom, was well nigh frozen, when Judge Wright was begging for a poor widow who was suffering for the “neces saries of life” and crying “for God’s sake to get something for her,” for “she was sick ?” Didn’t Col. Akin show great skill in managing that case, when it could have lieen settled “iu view of her necessities” for three hundred dollars ? The widow recovered, on the appeal, near four thousand dollars-. The Superintendent was willing to settle. Col. Akin “declined to let him do it.’.’ Magnanimous man—ought he not to he made Governor of something ? The poor woman of Augusta excites his pro- foundest sympathies, but the wailing of the poor widow of Cass, whose son on whom she teupgri had been taken away, fell as a foolish tale upon his deafened ear, as she was crying for bread. “0 shame, where is thy blush.” Anotbor Batik I,etter. ' The “National American,” not • satisfied with Gov. Brown's Bank letter to Col, Cohen, because he Cannot find anything wrong in it, intimates that Gov. Brajp^Uaa written ano ther “Bank Letter,” and gives notice that it is on the track ofrtt7 and hopes no doubt to get it, and find something to prove the unjust and untrue charges already made. Well, it is true, the Governor did write an other letter, and as the American desires to see it, we publish it in our issue of to-day, and hope the American will give it to its readers. Don’t commence with “grabbled extracts” again, but put the entire letter right in the first fire, and then blaze away at its contents. Will the American also give its opinion as to the part of it which, it thinks, tells the Banks how to evade' the law. This letter was not private—it i- strange the Editor did not hunt it up sooner. It was written some 20 days after the letter to Col. Cohen, to Mi. Teft, the Cashier of the Bank of the State, of which Col. Cohen was a Dilector, under the following circumstances : Gov. Brown’s pro clamation calling on the Banks to make their returns, was dated 0th-December, 1858. At that time the only penalty for disobedience of the law was, that the Governor should pub lish the names of the defaulting Banks, and exclude their bills from the Treasury in pay ment of public dues. On the 11th December, the Legislature passed another act, and added an additional penalty for disobedience, which was a tax of two per cent, per month upon the capital stock of each bank till it complied with the law, for which execution might issue after 1st July, 1859. The officers of the Bank of the State held that they were not bound to make their re turn, under the oath prescribed the Statute of 1859, to this call made the 6th of December 1858, as the act adding an additional penalty had not then been passed. The Governor held in his letter to Col. Cohen that they were bound to make the return and take the oath under that call. The officers declined to do so, and sent up their return within the 30 days allowed by the Statute made in the old form, without the oatli prescribed by the Statute of 1857. At the end of the 30 days, the Governor issued his proclamation publish ing the' Bank of the State and several others that had not made their returns, as delin quent, and drove their bills from the Treas ury. Soon after this, and some 18 days after the Cohen letter was written, Mr. Teft, the Cashier of the Bank, addressed a letter to Gov. Brown inquiring whether he hail not received their return, (the one which was not made out according to law,) and if so, whether it was satisfactory ? To this letter the Governor replied on the 12th of January, 1859, Below we give the reply. Will the Oppo sition have the fairness to publish it, after making so much fuss about Bank letters ? Of course the American will, for it has a passion of late for Bank letters. We expect, waking or sleeping, the Ameri can dreams about Bank letters. People of Georgia, does the following look like Gov. Brown had surrendered to the Banks. It may be interesting to add that a few days after this letter was written, the re turn of the Bank of the State was received at the Executive office, sworn to in strict com pliance with the Statute of 1857. But to the letter. Here it is. Read it carefully, and see if there is anything in it that looks like an “in famous” act. Y. Executive Depatjient, / Mili.edgevii.le, Ga., Jan. 12th 1859. ) Dear Sir :— In reply to your letter of the 10th inst., I have to state that the letter of Mr. Porter, the President of the Bank of the State of Georgia, dated 22d Dec., last, accompanying the so called return of the Bank, was duly re ceived at this office. You desire to know, if it is satisfactory. To this I reply, that the ac tion of the officers of the Bank, was not satis factory, for the simple reason tlfiit they did not obey the law, and make the return as di rected, by the express lauguageof the Statute of the State. I consider the course of no Bank satisfactory which sets itself up in defi ance of the law, or wilfully neglects to obey its mandates. I make no war upon capital, but I shall continue to insist, while I am char ged with the execution of the laws, that Banks and other corporations, as well as individuals, render implicit obedience to the requirements of the law, or suffer its penalties. The Bank of the State no more than the humblest citi- len of the State can be an exception to this rule. Ours is a government of equality, in which no one however high is above the law,, and no one however low is beneath its protec tion. When I issued my proclamation of 6th Dec. last calling on the Banks of this State to make their returns to this office as the statutes re quired, the 1 lth, section of the act of 1857, prescribing the form of the oath to be taken by Bank officers in making tbeir returns, was and still is, of full force, together with other acts which prescribe what the returns shall contain, aud the penalty to be inflicted upon such delinquent Banks as fail to obey the law. At that time tiie only penalty was that the names of the delinquent Banks he published, and that their bills be excluded from the Treasury of the State, in payment of any debts due the'State &c. The Bank of the State of Georgia having with others, failed and refu sed to make its return accompanied by the oath prescribed by the 11th section of the act of 1857, within the time limited by the stat utes, incurred this penalty, which I have im posed upon it by my proclamation of the 7th, inst. On the 11th day of December 1858 the leg islature passed another statute to impose addi tional penalties on the Banks of this State, so as to compel them to comply with the requi sitions of the act of 1857. This statute was passed on account of the refusal of most of this State, (The Banks of the State of Georgia amoDg the rest) to obey the law This Statute gives the banks till 1st January 1859 to make their returns accom panied by affidavits iu terms of the Statute of 1857. In case, of refusal of any Bank to make its return as directed by 1st January 1859 the statute imposes an additional penalty of two per cent per month on its capital stock from that time, to be levied aud collected by execution from the office of the Comptroller General with a proviso staying execution till 1st July next, aud declaring that the Bank may in the mean time prevent the issuing of execution by making its regular annual and semi annual returns &c. 1 have as above remarked im posed upon the Bank of the State of Georgia, and other delinquent Banks; only the penal ty which the law prescribed previous to the passage of the act of 11th, Dec 1858. As the first day of January 1859 has now passed and the Bank is still delinquent, the additional penalty of two per cent per month upon its capital stock is now running against it. Exe cution is stayed by the proviso in the statute till 1st July next. Should the Bank continue to disobey the law and remain delinquent till that date I shall order execution to issue im mediately agaiust it, for the tax of two per cent per month cn its capital Stock from 1st January to 1st July. And in case of confin ed disobedience to, and disregard of law, I shall after 1st July next order execution to is sue monthly for the tax so long as the Bank remains delinquent. This is made my duty by the 2nd, Sectionof the Act of 11th, Dec. 1858.1 am happy to say that most of tbe sol vent Banks of this State, which have hereto fore refused to obey the law, have since the passage of the act of 11th, Dec. 1858, increas ing the penalties for disobedience, made their returns accompanied bythe affidavits required by the statute of 1857. .1. regret that the Bank of the State of. Georgia should remain an exception to this rule, and an example of disobedience and delinquency. I am very Respectfully, Your ob’t serv’t, JOSEPH E. BROWN. J. R. Teft. Cashier, Bank State of Georgia, Savannah. INTERCEPTED CORRESPONDENCE.

Wa ters, Esq., then a resident of that county, and now one of Gov. Brown’s Secretaries, called on me and requested the Grand Jury to ap point a committee to investigate and make a settlement of all demands against him as for mer County Treasurer, stating that a previous Grand Jury had, at his special request, in their presentments, asked the Justices of the Inferior Court to make such settlement, bi^t that he never could get the Justices to investi gate the matter. That in pursuance of such request by Col. Waters, a committee, of which I was a member, was immediately appointed. Col. Waters appeared before the committee, and distinctly stated to us that he desired us in our investigations to make the amount of his indebtedness to tbe county as large as we could make it, and not as small as we could make it, as he said ho wanted fully to make the county whole. The committee made the settlement, with which the Justices of the In ferior Court, and all the members of the Grand Jury, were well pleased, and satisfied that the county had been fully indemnified. Col. Waters not only paid the principal, which I think was about S214, but he paid full interest at 8 per cent. He also, paid, on his oicn proposition, an Attorney’s fee ol $^0,00, which the county has paid out in litigation, with interest on that sum from tiie time it was paid out; also all costs which the county had incurred. Whether any part of the funds due by him to the county, was Poor School money, I do not know ; hut presume only a small por tion of it was, if any.

[communicated.] September 13th, 1859. Messrs. Editors: The Tri-Weekly Constitu tionalist, of the 4th inst., contains a sketch of Coi. Akin's recent speech in Augusta, by which it appeals that the Speaker character ized Gov. Brown’s veto of the Bank Bill as an ^agrarian” document. A word and inquiry as to the agrarianism of that message. The term agrarian is borrowed from the laws of ancient Rome. The “agrarian Laws” of that renown ed Empire, “distributed the conquered and other public lands equally among all the citi zens, limiting the quantity which each might enjoy.” These laws originally made such a division of certain landed property only, but at this day a law which would make such a division of any or all kinds of property, would perhaps, be correctly euough, called an agrari an law; and a message recommending an equal division of property among the citizens, might not inappropriately be termed agrarian, but not otherwise. The Governor’s Bank Message did not advo cate nor recommend any such division of prop erty, therefore it was not. an “agrarian” docu ment. The word agrarian has but one mean ing, and according to that meaning agrarian ism cannot be truthfully predicated of the ve to message. But, although that message can not, with any propriet y in the use of language, be styled agrarian, ye t the speaker may have meant that there is some feature in it which has some resemblance to agrarianism. AN hat is that feature ? It is, perhaps, that in which the Governor places the Bank corporations and private citizens on the same footing, in regard to obedience to the laws of the land. The Governor insisted that the Banks, as well as individuals, should be required to obey the law, and that the former should be punished, as well as the latter, for violating the law.— He wtis in favor of, and insisted upon justice being administered equally to all. Is this the agrarianism which CoL Akin (whilst in the hearing of Bank Officers) takes so much pleas ure in charging upon Gov. Brown ? Docs he join issue with the Governor on this point ?— Does he think the Banks ought to violate the law with impunity, whenever they see fit ? and that such violations should be sanctioned by law ! or does lie think with Gov. Brown in his veto message, that neither the Banks nor individuals ought to lie encouraged to vi olate the law? If*.the latter be his opinion, where is the agrarianism to which he objects in the veto message ? If the former be liis views, the citizens of Georgia ought to know it before they vote for him. CRITO. Gov. Brown’s Bank Better. AYe publish to-day, this very remarkable letter, from the Atlanta “American.” That paper, with a refined taste foi torturing the wicked and corrupt leaders of the Democracy, held this letter for some weeks in terrorum over their guilty heads ; and dared Gov. Brown to deny its contents. The Atlanta “Intelligen cer,” Gov. Brown's special organ, boldly de nied, at first, that Gov. Brown ever wrote such a letter. The aliove is from the “Georgia Citizen.” The “Atlanta Intelligencer” did not deny, “at first, that Gov. Brown ever wrote such a letter.” It was charged, before the letter ap peared, that it was “an infamous document.” AA r e denied that it was “infamous” then, and, since it has appeared, we deny it now, and are willing to let the people pass upon it. The “Citizen” had better read what the Savannah .“Republican” “cheerfully” says about that letter. At the time Gov. Brown prepared that letter for the press, there had been no intima tion that it would be published, and he wai t ed the people to know what was the founda tion upon which the “infamous” charge was based. The plan at first adopted lot! many to believe that the letter would not be given by the Opposition. AVhat has that letter done, except to give Gov. Brown strength to render the Opposition more contemptible ? V. flip* Gov. Brown.—We are reliably inform ed that Gov. Brown has resolved not to take the stump iu tbe approaching canvass. AVe regard the decision as most becoming to him self, and just to the dignity of the office he holds. This thing of the Governor abandon ing his official duties, and descending to a wrangle on the hustings for a re-election, is of modern origin, and we commend Gov. Brown for setting his face against so pernicious a practice - Should the Opposition run a can didate against him, we have no doubt he will square his conduct accordingly. We clip the foregoing from the Saoamtah Republican of the 18th June lust. But he did not “square his own conduct ac- cordinlgy.’’ “No doubt” Col. Akin would have preferred to have remained at home, but the programme had been arranged quite dif ferently and he must play his part in the farce. \A r ell, we hope he enjoyed his trip well, enough to get paid for expenses, if he did not, he will come out minus, as the office of Gover nor is gaining on him every day and will soon be, beyond his ever being talked about in that connexion. It is some gratification tho, for some men to even he run for governor, with out the least chance of success. Minorities sometimes make great men of those, who would never be taken up by a majority party. Quer- ry? Would Col- Akin havebeeD called upon to abuse the Democracy and pile up so much patriotism, for the eye of the people, had his party any hope of carrying the State ? V. A DIstinguDUed Regiment. Among the Austrian prisoners at this mo ment in Paris is one belonging to a regiment which claims a singular privilege, that of en camping for three days, whenever they pass through Vienna, in the court of the Emperor, and of receiving a most regoi entertainment. The Colonel, upon his arrival, is allowed by law to pass to the Emperor’s chamber without question, no one being permitted to stop him. He knocks thrice, anti demands orders of his Majesty, when the Emperor invites him and his to remain three days, regaling at his ex pense in the palace, assigns the Colonel a room next to his own, thestandards of the regiment are piled at his door, and a guard and lords in waiting attend him the same as the sovereign. The origin of the custom is this. In 1683 Leopold the First was suddenly waited upon by sixteen barons, with a charter which they were on the point of forcing him to sign, hav ing. as they thougnt, secured the abeeenee of all the troops from Vienna, when suddenly a Colonel, who received information from a se cret source—it was never discovered whence— knocked at the door thriee, and to the great joy of the Emperor demanded his Majesty's orders for his regiment—which were, that the sixteen barons should be at once beheaded. [Court Journal. tears over the Augusta woman, in ignorance of the law, he is not the lawyer that should charge $1,000 in a case where Judge Wright only charged $100. . Magnanimous lawyer! Great on RaLfrjn»fe, but ignorant of the rights of poor women, ff he knew of the law, and has willfully and knowingly humbugged the people, he is not fit for Governor, or any other office of honor or trust. Take whatever horn of the dilemma you please, and Col. Akin is not to be envied for his position. If Col. Akin knew of the law, may we not ask, what will he not stoop to for votes ? Did ever any Demagogue before act with more false deception ? Will the peo ple endorse him ? Ask the ides of October, and get answer of an overwhelming defeat. Gov. Brown and tbe Cherokee Baptist College. In our issue of the 1st instant, we publish ed a communication over the signature “Cass,” which showed a very marked differ- erence between Gov. Brown and Col. Akin in reference to their conduct towards this Insti tution. That .communication contained the following statement, viz: “On the 22d of February 1854, Governor Brown, at Cassville, at a meeting of the friends of the Cherokee Baptist College, in a pub lic speech before said meeting, then and there solemnly made a pledge, upon certain condi tions, to donate or procure donated to said College the sum of $10,000—the proceedings of which meeting was reported to the Board of Trus tees. The Board shortly thereafter performed a part of the conditions—the most important, to wit: A change of location for the College Lrtiildings, and notified Gov. Brown through their Secretary, that they were ready to per form and carry out every other condition imposed by him whenever he was ready to reciprocally bind himself in accordance with his pledge. And the Board went so far as to send their Agent, the Bev. Edward Dyer, of Walker, all the way to Canton, to notify him, per sonally, of their desire, and lo and behold! when it came to the sticking point, Gov. Brown backed dear out—begged to be let off—plead hard times, and never gave a dollar to said College, and has not to this day ! And the then Board of Trustees, of which the Rev- Jno. Crawford was President, verily believed, and many of them believe to this day, that Gov. Brown’s conduct relative thereto, was a DEGEPTIA’E TRICK to gain notoriety or answer some personal end in a future day ! “Where, ah ! where is Gov. Brown’s libe rality ? Where has he ever donated hard cash from any motive selfish or otherwise ? He has promised but never performed! And now, if Mr. “F” feels that the glass house he and Gov. Brown dwell in has had one side smashed in, he must attribute it to his partizan indiscre tion, and to liis apparently innate want of truth.” Now, the above contains FACTS. They come from a gentleman who is a member of the Baptist Church, ih good standing, and who is also a member of the Democratic party. He is a gentleman of veracity, and is cognizant of the facts set forth. Gov. Brown and his organ are challenged to deuy or disprove them ! If they dare to do so, the proof will be forthcoming. Our coteinporaries may rely upon what is said above, for it is derived from a gentleman who knows that whereof he speaks, and who stands as high as any other citizen of Cherokee Georgia. AYc clip the above from the “National American.” “Mr. V. feels that the glass house he and Gov. Brown dwell in has” not “had one side smashedin.” “Mr. A r . and Gov. Brown” can’t be “smashed in” in that way. AVe liave confidence in the omnipotence cc truth and the imbecility of slander. Jefferson has said, that “error ceases to be dangerous when reason is left free to combat it.” AVe have no idea that reasonable men will believe the slande.s which have been per petrated against Gov. Brown. In fact, Gov. Brown will get stronger, as the foolish charges are successively and suc cessfully refuted. The above charges, we are convinced upon good evidence, are a tissue of shameful and disgraceful untruths. If the author is a Democrat and Baptist, we are sorry for him. We have yet to believe that he is a Baptist aud Democrat. We asked Gov. Brown about flfP Patrick Macfingau, with a wheel-bar row, ran a race with a locomotive ; as the latter went out of sight, Mac observed, “Aff widye, ye roarin’ blakguard, or I’ll be after junnin’ into yees I” Gov. Brown and the Poor >Voman. CoL Akin and his friends have been greatly exercised over Gov. Brown’s cruelty to that poor woman of Augusta. AYhen Gov. Brown vetoed Mrs. Zinn’s bill, he was informed that the husband and wife were living together.— The Opposition say that Mrs. Zinn had been deserted by her husband about two years, and that he was living in adultery. If the above be true, Mrs. Zinn had two sufficient remedies. We have pointed out one of those remedies al ready. The ‘ ‘Journal & Messenger’ ’ has tried to break the point of the divorce argument, by suggesting the cost of a suit to the poor woman. We know enough of the Augusta bar, to assert, that such a case as Mrs. Zinn’s may always find an attorney, without fee, if there is as much merit in it as the papers make out. Then the delay has been pleaded. The Journal & Messenger ought to know, that now, where the Superior Court sets two weeks, and where two Juries are sworn, a complete divorce may be gotten at the same term. AVell there is another remedy, neither expen sive nor tardy, either to the State or the wo man. See Acts of 1851 and ’2, Page 237 : An Act for the Relief of Married Women whose Husbands have Deserted them. Be it enacted, by the Senate and House of Representatives of the State of Georgia, in General Assembly convened, aud it is hereby enacted by the authority of the same—That in all cases where a married woman has been deserted by her husband, and lias, while so deserted, by her exertions and those of her children, or otherwise acquired property of any kind : the same shall be exempt from the payment of said husband’s debts, and be vest ed in said married woman, for her sole and separate use, not subject to the debts, eon- tracts, or control of said husband. Approved Dec. 30th, 1851. Does not the above act cover Mrs. Zinn’s case, it it is as has been represented ? If the Legislature had forgotten this act, it is well that we had a Governor to veto it. If CoL Akin did not know of the existence of the a bove law, and has shed so many crocodile tills matter when he was last in Atlanta, and though he did not suggest to us to say any thing about it in the paper, we feel like giv ing the facts, just to show how the truth may be perverted, and how things can be started that are not true and that do not have the semblance of truth. Once upon a time, Gov. Brown and Mr. Martin of Lumpkin county, proposed to aid in the endowment of the ' 'Cherokee Baptist College,” (not the Cassville Maie College,) upon the following condi i ions : That the Trus tees should have a Steward’s Hall, and com pel all the students to 1* su'd at it—that the board be furnished the students at first cost— that the Steward should bo paid fair wages and liave no chance to speculate off the boys —that every student should ’wear the same kind of a dress, aud that the rich and the poor meet and associate upon terms of equal ity, and no distinctions be allowed on account of wealth. Upon the above terms, Gov- Brown and Col. Martin agreed to use their in. fluence for the College and subscribe liberally, in proportion to their ability. It was proposed that the Trustees adopt the suggestions made. It was required that the above regulations be put in the Charter, so that they could not be annulled at pleasure by the Trustees. The Trustees finally deter mined not to adopt the plan proposed, and Gov. Brown and Mr. Martin, of course, were not bound to aid. They distinctly stated that their help depended upon the. adoption of the above programme. Gov. Brown never “begged to he let off,” or “plead hard times.” He was willing to act upon his recommendations. In tins fast and expensive age, among youn" men, who does not see at a glance that the idea of Gov. Brown and Col. Martin is a good one f AYe should delight to see a Col- fege established upon the proposed plan. AA'e believe it would werk admirably. AYc conversed a few days ago with Gen John H. Bice upon this matter, and we un derstood him to admit that the above is a true history of this case. Ho will excuse us for using his name in this connexion. AA'e would not do so, but we look upon Gen. Rice as a fair-minded man, and willing to soe the truth of history vindicated in this controversy, al though lie is in favor of the election of Col. Akin. Gen. Rice has been an active friend and lib eral supporter of the “Cherokee Baptist Col- feTey” and we think is one of the Trustees, atul lias been from the beginning. Does the above statement show any “glass houses smashed in ?” Uov. Brown never committed himself to $10,009, or any other specified sum, but upon his plan proposed to do what he could by ins influence and subscribe liberally. So much we offer upon the authority of Gov. Brown and Ceil. Uice, although not requested to do If we have misrepresented either of them, upon notice we will set them right. AVhat will the enemies ot Gov. Brown start Y. , ’.vi i j ..V \i next? Can’t somebody write a letter and charge him with being a thief or a drunkard, and challenge “his organ to deny or disprove?” Gentlemen, you can’t hinder his being Gov ernor tivo years longer, and you had better quietly submit, and Christian fortitude, and eutluve the affliction. The people aro for Brown, and you must bow to the vox popidi. There is no use in wasting breath and ink about the matter. Akin can’t come in this time. Let him be resigned to his ftte. m. 'if.
