‘What the Democratic Lender* have Done! Dr. Andrews The associate editor of the State Press, in the daily, dated July 25th, devotes two columns to the platform of the Opposition party. Yes, sir, he devotes two columns of the Daily State Tress to abuse of the Know Nothings. When I read the editorial, the thought passed aerossed my mind, the Major is at his old business, trying to cover up the sins of the leaders of the Democratic party. 1 would advise the Major, to quit it It will not do, now, lor you know, Major, you told the people, the Kansas Bill would quiet the country and secure the rights of the Soutti in the Terri tories. Tou and the Democratic leaders told the poople that the Americans were trying to deceive them, when the gallant and pa triotic Hill told you and the best and ablest of the Democratic leaders that Squatter Sovereignty was in the Kansas Bill. If one did not support the Kansas Bill the hue and cry was raised that he was a traitor—to the South, and not fit to be trusted with her rights. did these things, Major. Now repent and do as follows: Tell the people of Georgia that Slavery was in Kansas be fore the Kansas Bill was passed by Congress. Tell the people that Stephen A. Douglas, the 30th January, 1864, said in his place, in the Senate of the United States, “I know of but one Territory in the United States, where Slavery exists, and that is in Kansas, where it is prohibited by law. ’ There it is Major. Tell the pimple that Douglas said this when he was held up ns the champion of Southern Rights. Tell the people that so soon as the Missouri line was repealed the whole Territory of Nebraska and Kansas at once became Slave Territory, for you know it is a known rule in law that so soon as a repealing act is repealed, the first law is re vived, and of full force, and that first law was the terms of the treaty between the United States and France, and that was, that the citi/.en of Louisiana territory should not he deprived of his right to his propeity in man. Then by the repeal of the Mis souri line, Slavery was established in Kansas, and by that clause (after the repeal) that said, nothing herein shall be construed as reviv ing or putting in force the law of the French treaty relating to African slavery, slavery wa3 abolished in Kansas. Tell the people, that by the action of the Democratic leaders and the passage of the Kansas Bill that Slavery was destroyed in that Teriitory.— First, Slavery existed in Kansas before the passage of (he Kansas Bill; Second, it was re-established by (lie repeal of the Missouri line, and then abolished by the Badger proviso. Tell the people that Mr. Stephens, and all the Democratic leaders said the Kansas Bill did give to us a good and equal chance to make Slave States out of Kansas and all other territory belonging to the United States, and then tell the people, Mr. Stephens at Augusta, in 185!), said we call make no more Slave States out of territory, and why, ‘•becauseof the law of population;” that is, the North and Europe being densely popu lated, emigrate from necessity, the Suujb being thinly settled, move Into the territo ries from choice. That is wl/at Mr. Stephens means when lie says, the law of population will prevent making Slave States out of any more territory. That, Major, is the princi ple of Squatter Sovereignty, practically worked out; a principle that Mr. Calhoun denounced as more monstrous than the AVilmot Treviso, Squatter Sovereignty; that was fastened upon the South, and by whom ? J!y Stephens, Toombs, Johnson, Cobb and your own candidate lor Con gress, Col. Speer 1 A'os, he, too, advocated aud defended the Kansas Bill. He too, de nied that Squatter Sovereignly was in that black bi/l oT abominations. Tell the people that Toombs, at the last session of Congress, said, “the Government of the United States was the most corrupt Government in the world,” and don’t forget to tell the people that the Democratic lead ers have had and do yet control that corrupt Government. Tell the people that the ordinary expenses of the Government are raised from $45,000,• 000 to $80,000,000 or $00,000,000, for one year. Tell the people of the South, that their money is used by the Government to school negro children that were brought from Africa, taken aboard the Kcho and sent to Liberia. Tell them the Democratic can didate of the 3rd District, did endorse the Cincinnati Platform and that the building of a Pacific Railroad, is a cardinal principle of Democratic faith. Inform the people of this fact, that it will cost $200,000,000 to build a Road to the Pacific, and for the benefit of the North alone! Tell the people why it was your party did not build a platform of principles for your candidate for Congress in the 3rd District. You know the reason. Major. You were afraid the people would distrust you, for you know the leaders of the Democratic party have been faithless, ami never redeemed a promise made. So you thought it best to put your candidate on the sea of circum stance, without chart or compass. Do as I have told you to do, Major, and you will do the country some service. FEW. lion. B. 11. Hill ami flic Const ■- tntionallNt. Dr. Anprews,— l find in the Daily Au gusta Constitutionalist the following remark able words in an editorial comment on a portion of Hill's recent letter to Col. Dudley : “In other words, the Democratic party in its next national platform will not insist upon the passage of a slave code for Territories,'’ that is, the editor of the Constitutionalist is opposed to Cotigress passing laws to protect the Southern man with his property in slaves in the Territories. Horace Greely, too, is op posed to Congress making laws to protect the rights of the slave-holder in the Territo ries. Why is it—how is it—you find an ed itor in Georgia opposing the declaration and judgment of the Supreme Courtof the United States? Is it that Douglass may be made to appear lovely to the South and terrible to the North ? The Supreme Courtof the United States says; “And no words can be found I in the Constitution which gives Congress : a greaterpowerover slave property, or which t entitles property of that kind to less protre- i Hon than property of any other description, j. The only power conferred is the power coupled \ t with the duty of guarding and protecting Ike 11 owner in his rights.” Mr. Hill only insists ; upon the exercise of the right that the Su preme Court of the I nited States ami argues the slave-holder is entitled to protection in the Territories. The Court says, the only power conferred on Congress by the Con stitution is the duty to guard and protect the citizen in his properly. Mind yon, the Court not only says it is the duty to protect the slave-holder in his rights in the Territories, hut that it is the duty of Congress to guard as well as protect the owner in his rights in the Territories. They guarded against yout j Douglass proviso of unfriendly Territoria legislation. Gsoroia. For the da. Citizen. Iteply to Itcrrion. Berrien, in the Citizen of week before last, seems quite surprised that a letter should be addressed by Col. Hunter to Hon. How ell Culih, soliciting information as to the truth or falsity of the charge made against Mr. Buchanan, viz., that he had in some way or other, “expressed his regret that he could not appropriate the money of the Govern ment to the education of the Africans of the Slave ship, Echo.” Berrien says, “If Col i Hunter had examined the records of the country, lie conlil without sending a letter, to Washington, have been correctly inform ed about the captured negroes of the Echo.” This was not the subject on which Col. H. desired information. What he (Col. H.) wished to know was, whether the Tresi dent had appropriated, or was willing to ap propriate, the money of the Government to the “schooling” of these captured Africans, as was charged hy his enemies. The “public records’’ are kept at Washington, and it was at this place the information was sought- Who was more likly to know and state the fac's truly than a representative of Geor gia, in the Tresident’s Cabinet? Mr. Cobb responds to the call, and says the charge is totally false. Berrien, notwithstanding the positive de nial of Mr. Cobh, re-afliriris the charge, and tells his leaders “not to he mislead by any thing Mr. Cobb or any body else may say, tut to go to tho records of the country.” What “records” does Berrien produce to support this unfounded charge against Mr- Buchanan ? An extract simply from Mr. B.'s annual message to Congress, in which the President tells Congress that “mi agreement was en tered into with the Colonization .Society, un der which the Society engaged for the con sideration of $45,000, to receive these Afri cans in Liberia from the Agent of the United States, and furnish them during the period ul one year thereafter with comfortable shel ter, clothing, provisions, and medical atten dance, causing the children to receive school ing, and all, whether children or adults, to be instructed in the arts of civilized life, suitable t() 4boir uondUioo.’’ This extract from the Message, uuexphiin , ed, might authorize the inference or conclu ! sion for which Berrien contends, viz., that Mr. Buchanan in the agrement entered into with the Colonization Society, did stipulate that the “schooling of the children of these i captured Africans,” upon their return to Li , Delia, should constitute a part of the consid eration of the contract, and was on ■> of tho conditions upon which the $15,000 was to be [laid to the Colonization Society. Tbit construction was put on the message soon I after the adjournment of Congress, and the charge now made by Berrien, went tho rounds of the Opposition papers in Georgia. At length the Hon. James Jackson, member of Congress from Georgia, on the .'lOlli May last, addressed a letter himself to Mr. Cobb upon this subject, which letter Mr. Cobb an swered. If Mr. Cobb can be relied upon to tell the truth, (and no one will question his veracity) the following extract from his re ply to Air. Jackson (tin* whole of which may bo found in the Telegraph of June 21st,) shows that not one cent of the $15,000 was received for the purpose, or in consideration of the “schooling of the children of the Af ricans of the Echo," —that the “schooling” was a voluntary thing outside of the agree ment made with the Colonization Society and outside of the law under which it was made. It formed no part of the agreement in point of fact made with the I’reri lent—it was a voluntary undertaking on the part of the Colonization Society—for which no part of the $15,000 was paid or received by said Society. But to the extract. Mr. Cobb states in his letter to Judge Jackson, “It was under these circumstances that Mr. Buchanan proceeded to employ an agent to take care of these Africans after their return until they could provide for themselves. Mr. McLain, in behalf of the Colonization Socie ty, ottered to undertake the duties of such agent. The Tresident required that ihe Af ricans should be taken care of, and provision made for their support for one year. This is all that he required. The Colonization Soci ety, for a stipulated sum, agreed to do this and more. The Society desired by their proposition to show that they would not on ly do all that the Tresident under the law was authorized to contract am) pay for, but that they would put these Africans upon the same footing with all other negroes commit ted to their charge—aud it was for this rea son that they incorporated into their propo- ! sition the otter to educate and school the children. For this additional service not one dollar was charged, and the amount al- j lowed by the Tresident would have been j precisely the same, though no such provision j had been contained in the otter of the Socie- j ty.” Again Mr. Cobb says, “AVithout the explanation which I have now given it is perhaps not strange that an improper con struction should have been put upon the lan guage of the Tresident; but when all the facts are known there certainly can be no ditliculty on the part of any man who wants to ivuow the truth, and do justice in seeing the correctness ot the statement which I again repeat in the most emphatic terms— that not oue dollar was paid to the Coloni- zation Society in consideration of the educa lion or schooling of the Africans which were committed to their charge by the President. Here is a conclusive refutation from a gen tleman of the highest ollieial position, ol the slanderous charge repeated in Berrien's ar ticle. And yet his (B.'s) hatred to the Pres ident and his party is so malignant in its character that lie will not withdraw, hut persist in it. I.ct him do so, hut he will miss his mark, and shoot his arrows at ran dom. Here I drop tho discusaion. * A n’i-Berrien. Foil THE GA. CITIZKV. Hon. U. 11. Hill stud Hu- State Pres*. Mr. EUtor :— The State Press of the 3rd asks Mr. Hill I to advise his friends to ground arms and rally to the support of Governor Brown ! Why does he make such a request of hr. Hill? Hear his own answer : “We affirm that in Gov. Brown the Democracy present a candidate who is as true to the South, in all that affects her rights and interests, and especially in all that pertains to slavery, as any man, of whatever party in the South. Did not, and does not Governor Brown to day endorse the Cincinnati platform, and docs not the Cincinnati platform endorse the Kansas bill, and the odious doctrine of Squatter Sovereignty in that bill—that bill you so vehemently and so strongly defended in 1855 and 18515, as the he.st bill ever passed by Congress for the South ? It is that same hill your Douglass and Stephens framed anrl perfected, and put upon the South. A’ou ask Mr. Ilill to go to Governor Brown, while he, Governor Brown, stands where he stood in 1856, with Douglass uiidA'aii Huron on the Cincinnati platform and Squatter Sovereignty, against which Mr. Hill has stood and does now stand opposed. A’ou ask Mr. Hill to do that which no honorable man would do, to-wit: abandon the princi ples of constitutional light! For wluit ? To support n nmii who twisted and dodged that 3rd resolution passed at Milledgevillc in 1850. AVhat! go to a man who gave his warm support to the A UOLITION DOC TRINE, “that, the people of a Territory, like those of a State , hove a. right to regulate their domestic institutions in their men way.” Is not Gov. Brown in close communion with a party who have robbed the South of her rights in the Territories? Mr. Hill, no where in his letter, nsks Gov. Brown to “abandon liis party associates.” You talk about Mr. Hill’s arrogantly assuming to ad vise Brown. AVIio first exposed the frauds of the State Road ? Who denied the charge of fraud made by Mr. Hill? Do you know? Why, Hill has made Brown make the State Road pay from $30,000 to $35,000 per month. Talk about arrogating? Where is the arrogance to ail vise one who has al ready profited by liis advice? A’mi know tlint but for Mr. Hill's charges of corrup tion in the management of the State Road, no committee to investigate the affairs of that Roiul would have been appointed by the Legislature, for don’t you know how the Atlanta Intelligencer pronounced all Mr. Hill said as false-t-as pertaining to the iniiiingoiiieiit of that Road, noil then you - —v ■*—— 1,0 report of the committee appointed to seo if wltni. Mr Ilill said was true. That report, ns you well know, prov ed all, and showed more than Hill charged. The proud position of B. 11. Hill, to-day, challenges tlio admiration of the good and patriotic, for lie stands ns it wore, in the forest of life, a pillar of moral grandeur, towering high above the rest, and calmly in the conscious rectitude of his motives and tin 1 honesty of his aims and purposes, ho looks upon the political corruptions that sur round and the political disease beneath him unscathed. LOWNDES. Thomas Hardeman, Jr. The Candidate of tho Opposition patty for Congress in this District, addressed a very largo, intelligent, attentive and appreciative as semblage of liis follow-citizens in tho Court house here, on Tuesday last. Circumstances beyond our control prevents us at this time from speaking of Mr. Hardeman’s speech as its merits and ability deserve ; wo will only say that Mr. Hardonian is a fluent and agreeable speaker—that be dissected and exposed the corruptions of modern Democracy witli a mus ter hand, and exhibited the “double shutlles” of its leaders on the agitation of slavery mid tho results of that agitation to the South, to the ridicule, the scorn and pity of his hearers. AVe have hoard both Mr. Hardeman and Mr. Speer once, and aside from party prejudice or personal predilections we have uo hesitancy iu saying that Mr. Hardeman is fully equal to his respectable competitor in information and nai ural eloquence, and vastly liis superior in all that appertains to the truth, justice and can dor of the questions at issue. Even Hector’s right arm could not defend such a Troy as Bu chanuan Democracy, with its accumulated cor ruptions and wrongs. Mr. Speer must sink under the load lie carries.

Another Argument for Opening the Slave Trade. The Atlanta American of Saturday gives an account of a sale of negroes, at McDon ough, tm , on last sale day, which goes to show the necessity of re-opening the Foreign Slave Trade. Twenty-eight negroes brought $22,309, or an average of $790 a pioeo. One hoy, field hand, 18 years of ago, sold for 51,040. No chance for poor men to get African laborers at such prices ! Anti-Berrien. Asa mutter of courtesy and justice, we give place to tho communication of “Anti- Berrien, in reply to “ Berrien,” in our pa llet- of week before last. AVe do not think, however, that he has given a correct inter pretation of the contract between the Tres ident and the Colonization Society as to the schooling ot the African negroes of the Echo. A\ e do not think the cuter mttuages of that society arc benevolent enough to oiler to sehoo l the negroes free, unless they charged enough for the other service to make a good tat job of tho whole, schooling included ! B t whether that lie so or not, the language of the President's message showed clearly that lie thought schooling the negroes to be a part of tile contract with the society. lion. A. 11. Stephens —A Mlstatement Corroded. The Savannah News in noticing a meeting of the Democracy in Jefferson county, says that it was resolved to tender Hou. A. H. Stephens “a complimentary dinner, irre spective ot parties.” See. It is not usual, we ! believe, for one parti/ to tender a diiyier in the name of all parties. AVe do not know where the News received its authority to say “irrespective of parties;” we happen to be well informed of the fact of the Opposition proposing to the Democrats to join in the compliment to Mr. Stephens, and were re fused. It is therefore,a one-sided affair, and “ot worthy of Mr. Stephens’ notice. Dead. YYo have, to-Jay, to reoor.l the death of two ! distinguished citizens of the Unitod States : to- ! wit, the Hon. Horace Mann, L. L. !>., Tresi- | dent of Antioch College, Ohio, and Rev. Dr | r anirs At Alexander, D. D., formerly Proses- ; sor of Rhetoric and Belles lastters, in Princeton i College. Horace Mann was for many years Secretary of the board of Education for Massachusetts, in which he not only accomplished much, hut made himself the leader of free school move ments in this country. His ambition, howev er, carried him into politics, and he became the successor of John Quincy Adams in Congress. His course in Congress was not creditable to I him. He was particularly distinguished as a I vituperative, foul-mouthed opponent of the de mocracy, and especially of the South : and he j disgusted the people of his own district by his 1 so disgraceful slanders of Mr. Webster, that he was shelved at the expiration of his second term. Since then he has been President of Antioch College, in Ohio, a free love, abolition institution, open to youths of both sexes, where hit commanding talents have been wasted in lighting pecuniary difficulties. He died on Tuesday. August 2. James Waddell Alexander, the eldest son of Dr. Archibald Alexander, and the grandson, we believe, by ihe mother's side, of the Rev. James AVaddell, the original of AVirt’s famous sketch of the Blind Preacher, was born in Louisa co., Virginia, in IHOI ; was graduated at Princeton in 1820, and was appointed a Tutor in that In stitution in 1824, He resigned that station the next year, and settled ns pastor in Char lotte county, Va. Here he remained two years, and in 1823 accepted a call to Trenton, N. J. In 1830 he resigned his charge, and became the editor of the Prcamjlrrian , at Philadelphia, whence he was elected Professor of Rhetoric and Belles letters iu the College of New Jer sey at Princeton. He was subsequently, and at the time of his death, pastor ot the Brick Presbyterian Church in New York City. He died at the Virginia Springs, Sunday, July 31.

Y\ r e therefore give him the benefit to which the fact of cousinthip with the famous Garibaldi fairly entitles him, and can only say to ‘'Rarise,’’ to look out, for there are “breakers ahead.” YVe believe it is pe culiar to the Garibaldi race to conduct their campaigns, iu a sort of guerilla fashion ! Garibaldi is a descendant of Mr. John John ston Jones, who died at his residence iußlaud ford, ariout the year 17G7. It is a fact that a beautiful young daughter of this Mrs. Jones eloped from Petersburg about the year 1753 with an Italian tight rope dancer named Ga rihaldi, who having amassed an immense for tune in this country, returned to his own dear native Italy, where a large family and unalloy | ed felicity blessed the union between himself 1 and his beautiful young Blandford bride. Mrs. Garibaldi corresponded with Lir lather until the day of his death, and letters subsequently sent over by the children of Mrs. G. leave but little doubt of the fact that the warrior Garibaldi, now in Italy, is a direct descendant of the Jodcs family, so well and favorably known in B landlord during the first half of the past century. Death of T. P. Stubbs. Our whole community was shocked, at the announcement of the sudden death of THOMAS I*. STUBBS, Esq., at his resi dence in this city, on yesterday nmrning i about 3 o'clock, after a brief illness of a few days. On Thursday of last week Mr. Stubbs came down to his office, but bad to return, from inability to attend to business. His disease was ‘J'l/j'/ini/t Fever, which fiiuil lv seated on his bowels,-'•’’and his over wrought anil exhausted constitution rapidly sank under it. He was 48 years of age oil the sth of July last. The funeral obsequies will take place, this morning at 9 o’clock, and will be participa ted in by the Alasonic and I. O. O. F. Fra ternities, and by the Alacon Volunteers, of all of which deceased was a member ; also by Gie members of the Court and Bar, and citizens generally. The (loath of such a man as Peter Stubbs is a public calamity. No man was more generally known—no one more respected.— His extensive practice, at the Bar, brought him into the closest relations of friendship and confidence with a large class of citizens, and bo won tho regard of all, by his devo tion to tlii-ir interests, by the untiring faith fulness of his friendship, and the unselfish nature of liis services in behalf of those who were unable to pay him, otherwise than by their gratitude. Hundreds of the widowed and fatherless who have shared his constant ; lienificence, will weep tears of sympathy 1 with his own immediate family, in this their -ad bereavement and desolation. Oil! death, bow ruthless, often, is thy coming! The dearest ties of affection are suddenly broken —the “silver chord is loosed"—and “the mourners go S(mut ftifl ftri-.J-.” A,..’i y,-i t’'cr.e is a drop of balm to each wounded and crushed heart. < >ur friend and brother has only laid aside his earthly tabernacle —an immortal bus boon born—lie “still lives.” But we cannot, to-day, pay a fitting tri bute to the character and memory of the deceased. Personally, our loss is irrepara ble. He was u reliable friend, “a friend in need,” and the blow has fallen upon us with such terrible smldcness, that wo have not ! words to (Injustice to the great loss that lias befallen our community.— Weekly Citizen, i -Jh inst. Tribute of Respert. At a meeting of tho members of the Macon liar, held at the office o( Win. K. defiraffen reid, Esq., on the 4th inst.—upon motion of : John Rutherford, Esq., his honor Henry <l. La mar was called to the Chair, and T. G. Holt, Jr., requested to act as Secrotacy. The Chair man announced tho object of the meeting to be to take some npproj riato action concern .: - .•> death of our protessiona! brother THOMAS P. STUBBS, Esq. Upon motion oi E. A. Nixbet, Esq., tho Chair appointed a committee of three consisting of E. j A Niabet, C. B. Cole and W. K. deGrafl’enrcid, ’ Esqrs., to prepare suitable resolutions for the adoption of tlie meeting. The Committee through their Chairman submitted the follow ing preamble and resolutions: Only a few days ago Mr. Siubbs was in our midst pursuing the routine of a busy and highly responsible life, with his accustomed, hopeful, | cheerful, and earnest industiy. Some of us kuew not that he was sick—others’ knew that he was indisposed, without being dangerously ill ; and all were this morning shocked, with the appalling announcement that he died at 3 : o’clock. It is not enough to say that this event is painful—it is sad—very sad—even in expressibly sorrowful. This entire community, at;, this moment, feels the shock as if stricken with paralysis. Next to his weeping family, we, his prolessionsl associates, feel it most sen sibly : for none knew him better, or respected him more profoundly, or loved him more sin cerely. His amiable and strong character was understood by ail classes. The people trusted his ability and integrity as a public man, and i his neighbors, especially the poor, mourn his loss ; because, lie was kind, liberal, just and charitable. What he was at home, in the bo i som of Ins family, it becomes us not to sav, at least not here aud now. The bereavement there, and the desolation which it lias caused, too awful oven for sympathetic comment : ad monish to be silent. As members of tho Ma con Bar it is not less our privilege than our du ty, to speak ol him. He was in truth our brother, and it is our pleasure, in the presence of his unburied corpse, to declare that lie iul ; filled all the obligations of that peculiar and honorable relation, will,out money, or lntluen tial friends, and with but limited education, he entered upon a profession, whose honors aLd , emolument are won only by the best order of ; minds—the severest labor, and the purest hon j or. Self I client honest and industrious : cour ’ teous in ids intercourse with the Court and the Bar, and competent in skill and learning, for its highest duties ; he stood at the moment of his death, in its front rank. His lucra tive practice, in spite of able and various com petitors, is demonstrative aliko of his ability aud integrity. These brief words, are but out lines, yet they express truthfully our estimate of our deceased friend. If the occasion would justify it, it would be a labor of love to fill these outlines with the details ot a beautiful character, and the events of an honorable life God lias taken him, let us be content, for he or deretli all tilings well. Let us not impeach tho wisdom or mercy of Ilim whose Sovereignty is Supreme in Heaven and upon Earth, but ac quiescing in this inscrutable dispensation, learn from it that we too hasten to the grave. AVso leed, That by the death of Thomas P. Stubbs. Esq., we have lost a brother entitled to Our highest respect as a professional man, and a triend, whom we loved with cordial affection. That our sympathies are hereby tendered to the iatuily of the deceased.
