I.F.TTKR FROM flOV. JOHNSON.
Mii.i.f.dc.f.vii.i.e Ga. Aug. 30 1851.
Gentlemen : I thank you for your kind and
pressing invitation to a barbecue to be given
to Col. Robert McMillen the Southern Rights
candidate for Congress in the Eighth District
on the first Tuesday in September next. But
official engagements furbid me the pleasure of
it.s acceptance. Morgan court will be in ses-
sion at that time.
My personal acquaintance with Col. Mc-
Millen. is limited but I know him by repu-
tation as a gentleman of high moral worth
brilliant talents and sound republican princi-
ples. Such men I am rilowa tu honor ana
oiuvcreiy trust the great cause whose banner
he bears by the united voice of the Southern
Rights party of his district may be triumph
ant.
The contest in which the people of Georgia;
in common with her sister slaveholding States
are engaged is one of vital importance. It
involves the destiny of the South and the
federative character of our system of govern-
ment. It is waged upon the right of a State
peaceably to secede from the Union. The
Gubernatorial candidate of the Southern
Rights part- maintains the affirmative and
the candidate of the submission party the
negative of this great question. The one
that the right necessarily results from the re-
served sovereignty of the States and the na-
ture of the confederacy and the other that it
exists only as a right of revolution. The
former insists that the general government
has no right to coerce a seceding State; and
the latter that such seceding State must de-
pend for the maintenance of its position "njion
the stout hearts and strong arms of a free
people." The one unhesitatingly and boldly
avows that if a Southern State were to secede
he would not obey the requisition by the
federal government made upon him as the ex-
ecutive of Georgia for troops to force her back
into the Union; and the other declares he
"would convene the Legislature of the State
and recommend them to call a convention of
the people'' to instruct him in an emergency
in which the impulses of the true Southern
heart should be a sufficient guide. Tlte great
isfine tin a I reptal is he right of a Stale to st-
eeds from the Union and the correlative ab-
sence of any right on the part of the Federal
Government to force such a State back into
the Union. ' cannot ic evaded hi THE
SENSELESS CLAMOR OF UNION'! THIS
GLORIOUS UNION! The integrity of the
Union is not assailed by the Southern Rights
partv in Georgia. Its true Mends are host
who insist upon maintaining the rights resulting
from the sovereignty oj the States. Its real ene-
mies are those who from behind it as a
'masked battery" Ircel tlwir destructive artil-
lery against its strongest outposts hy counselling
submission to aggression INJUSTICE and
ROBBERY because i.ikf. "a wolf in hkfp's
CLOTHING" thev come under the HYPOCRIT-
ICAL GARB OF COMPROMISE. Then let
a vigilant people look weil to the true and
only issue involved in the pending campaign
tlie right of a State peaceably to secede from the
Union.
I would not if time and space justified
enter into an argument in favor of the affirm-
ative of th: ieeuc. I believe it is understood
by the people. It has been a cardinal tenet
of the Republican creed from 1798 down to
the present day maintained by Jefferson and
Madison and Macon Lowndes and Troup and
all the distinguished statesmen of that school
who properly understood the theory of our
Governmentand whose heart beat responsively
to the great American sentiment which is at
once the parent and the soul of Constitutional
liberty. Argument is not needed to elucidate
or enforce it. If the people shaking off the
trammel of party and spiriting the timid
counsels of TEMPORISING SUBMIS-
SIONISTS AND SELFISH TRADESMEN
IN THE GREAT MART OF POLITCAL BAR-
TERING will obey the honest impulses ok
TRUE SOUTHERN SENTIMENT they will
require no argument to array them on the side of
truth THEffc HEARTH-STONES and THE
CONSTITUTION.
To detract ftom the importance of the issue
in public estimation it is insisted that it is a
mere abstraction that it will be time enough
for Georgia to determine it when she shall
be called upon to exercise tbe right of seces-
sion. Tliis is but one of the hundred subterfuges
of those who man the "masked battery." The
issue is vital. It has not been made by the State j
of Georgia nor hy the Southern $tatei. It has
been forced upon us ly federal aggressions. It
has been distinotly tendered by high author-
ity. It was tendered by Henry Clay in his
great speech upon "the xiinpromise bills."
He said "if resistance is attempted by any
State or by the people of any State he will
lift his voice his heart and his arm in support
of the common authority of this government.''

that our fore-fathers in the struggle of 7G
fought only to achieve that which is the right
of fcerfs 'the right of rtvohdiou. They hail
that under the British crown. But they
struggled for more for colonial sovereignty
and fbey won it.
Did tbey turn round immediately and sur-
render all they had battled for into the power
of an elective consideration ? Never never.
Those who maintain such a position falsify-
all tho history of our revolution and bring
dishonor upon the master spirits of its thrill-
ing and eventful scenes. The right of seces-
sion must be maintained. It is the last the
only hope of the South. Let us maintain it
with unanimity and we can hold in check the
spirit of abolition and consolidation. But if
we yield it the whole theory of our federative
system is changed and we are in the power
of those whose mercy is like that of the wolf

Georgetown Texas Sept. 27 I860.
Dear Major: On yesterday the Hon. E.
D. Townes of your county favored us with
his presence and as he was not expected here
and was out of his own beat his appearance
created some surmise. A good many believed
that he had come for the purpose of answering
or at least attempting to answer Col. M. 1).
Graham who was advertised to speak here.
Some supposed that in beating a hasty retreat
from Petty he had lost his way and was
wandering about the country.
The opinion though that was most believed
was that It. Petty the Elector for the 2nd
Judicial District had so completely used up
the Judge that he had fled entirely out of the
District to escape the merciless flaying that
Petty was in the habit of administering to
him whenever they met. Poor fellow! He
had not forgotten Lockhart or Webbcrville
and when ho rose to speak he looked very
suspicieusly down the road leading to Bastrop
evidently dreading lest Petty should make
his appearance. When he found he was for
once rid of Petty he seemed more confident
and emmenced rehashing from the Nashville
Patriot and Intelligencer the old cock and
bull story about a deliberate and cold-blooded
conspiracy to dissolve the Union on the part
of Yancey Rhett (and A. J. Hamilton) ; the
latter he left out. After alternately reading
and repeating these garbled extracts and
boring the crowd almost to death he sat down.
He never said a word about Bell not a
word about Douglas and barely mentioned
Rreckinridge and never mentioned Lincoln.
He made a dull speech. Petty had whipped
all the fun and anecdote out of him he did'nt
tell one. His keepers a la chinoise according
to Monsieur Hue. had evidently taken the
Rock from tbe end of his tail and have de-
termined to let him make as much noise as he
may desire. Col. Graham being prevented
by sickness from filling his appointment Mr
Geo. M. Flournoy the Attorney General elect
who was in attendance at our Court was
called upon and replied to Townes in a speech
of an hour and a half in length.
It was decidedly the best Democratic sjieech
that we have had here this year; Mr. Flour-
noy is a clear ready and bold debater aud is
more at home even when breaking lances
with an opponent than when speaking with-
out opposition. He laughed at J udge Townes'
cold-blooded conspiracy and all his raw-head
and bloody bones nursery stntf Ho made
the Judge ashamed of it. He took up the
Fusion question and showed the hypocrisy of
Pease & Co. and their folly. He discussed
Bell's record and Everett's without mercy.
He denounced the Bell men for trying to ele-
vate an Abolitionist like Everett to the Pre-
sidential chair through the Sonate. He
sketched the iilack Rerublican programme
and showed that Breckinridge and Lane were
the only candidates fighting them boldly and
with any show of success. He made an able
telling and eloquent speech. Townes replied
but the fear of Petty was still on him he
failed. Mr. Flournoy made a short rejoinder
and after an interesting discussion of four
hours the crowd dispersed. Put down this
county 150 majority for Breckinridge and
Lane. M.

From the Appendix to the Congressional
"Globe" of 1849-'50 page 1C68 we make
the following extracts:
With regard to the Constituuional power
nor points is so great that exaggerated ru-
mors of anything having the semblance of the
tragical are very apt to get into circulation
without being satisfactorily corrected for a
cansiderablo length of time. We had hoped
to find that these things were exaggerated
for the SAke of our common country for the
honor ofhuman nature and for the reputation
of our Northern brethren political and reli-
gious whose abolition doctrines have been the
direct cause of both the John Brown and the
Texas conspiracies together with all similar
disturbances. But we are compelled to con-
fess that our hopes have turned out to be en-
tirely groundless. Unquestionable evidence
has been discovered of a systematically organ-
ized conspiracy under the direction of white
men extending its ramifications into all the
slave-holding parts of the State the object of
which wa a simultaneous and general insur-
rection of the blacks accompanied by fire
rape and assassination. The same evidences
are fsund in all parts of the State : stychnine
in the hand of the negroes for the purpose of
poisoning food wells and springs : mins pistols
and other arms in individual hands and col-
lected in secret arsenals for perfecting the
work begun by fire and poison. Tlie men.
the old women and the children were all to
be killed and the young women to be devoted
to a far more horrible fat".
And this is the fruit of abolitionism of
anti-slavery ism of thu teaching of the anti-
slavery press and pulpit and rostrum ! Can
any man cntnlidlv mill nillseieiltloUstV lten it. i
.
There is no use in attempting to avoid the
logical responsibility of the Black Republicans
and Abolitionists for these results. Many of
their more candid leaders in Congress and
out of it avow their sympathy with such
things; but their responsibility for them is
obvious enough without such avowals. It
would at this moment shock the world to
know precisely the number of Northern pi o-
ple who silently favor in sympathy and at tlie
ballot-box the destruction of the South bj
insurrection. The election of a Helperite
speaker ot tue last congress is proot ot this
view. Many of our Northern fellow-citizens
have held and taught abolition doctrines
without ever dreaming that such doctrines
would lead to such results. But now there
is no excuse. Before the John Brown and
Texas conspiracies we can understand that a
man may have beeu a Black Republican or an
abolitionist simply because he was a dupe:
but now. how a man can teach abolition doc-
trines or support the Black Republican party
and not be a villain our casuistry does not
enable us to determine. Such a man is logi-
cally an incendiary and murderer whatever
he may be in purpose. Many a poor negro
with a good master and home with gentle
women who felt interested iu his welfare and
that of his family and without the possibility
of being placed in a better position in any
part of the world will have been tempted to
the gallows by the serpent of abolitionism ;
but the curse of God and man. for his des-
truction will fall upon the tempter who
ruined him.
Southern slavery as a rule is the mildest
and most benevolent system of labor in the
world and the slaves without abolition
temptation are the most contented and happy
laborers. But granting it the character at-
tributed to it bj the abolitionists it is even
then in comparison with abolitionism most
saintly and holy. There is not an evil to
character nnd home to society or country
attributed to slavery by an ignorant or lying
press that abolitionism does not produce an
hundred fold. It is the life of modern poli-
tics the falsehood of modern philosophy the
apostacy of modern Christianity and tho curse
of modern civilization. If ever men deserved

Mason Co. Texas Sept. 15 18C0.
Dear Major: I have just returned from
a scout with Major Yan Dora U. S. A. in
pursuit of a party of Indians that killed Mr.
Boalt en the head of Brady's reek. where
himself and five young men overtook six In-
dians with fourteen head of loose horses ; the
fight lasted one hour and from the appear-
ance of the ground there can be no doubt but
that the fight was a desperate one. Three of
tbe attacking party were badly wounded one
killed Mr. Coots had his horse shot dead on
the ground and two more wounded. One
Indian was seen to fall from his horse sup-
posed to be mortally wounded and one had
his arm broken. The Indians left the ground
of Congress over this subject I would say at a good speed the little party being so
that the only doubt I have of tho existence of i badly crippled that pursuit was impossible
the power either tp suppress the slave trade
or to abolish slavery in this District is in-
spired by the respect I have for tbe opinions
of so many distinguished and eminent men.
both in and out of Congress who hold that
Congress has no such power. Reading the
Constitution for mysel I believe that Congress
has all the power over the subject in this
District which the States Have within their
-i respective jurisdiction;"
"But however great my respect may be ior
the opinions of others on the question of
power there are some considerations of such
high account as in my judgment to make it

On their way home they met Major Yan
Dom with thirty men who had just started
on a scout. The news was no sooner related
than the Major put spurs scarcely causing a
halt until the battle ground was icached; to
do which' ho was compelled to ride all night ;
Mr. Boult was quickly interred ; the trail
followed at a keen trot some of their animals
found on the trail entirely broke down. The

Public Meeting;.
At a meeting of fhe delegates composing
the 14th Judicial District held at Gay'.-.
Ranch on the Aransas Sept. 22 1H60 ;
On motion Col. Joseph Doughty was called
to the chair and Captain John Donelson ap-
pointed secretary.
The object of the meeting heirs eloquently
explained by Martin S. Kinney Esq. of Go-
liad the substance of which was a deprecation
of the lato fraudulent vote polled at a Mexi-
can ranche in Nueces county called San
Diego the following gentlemen viz.: W ('.
Yan Muter of Live Oak. C 0L Jones of Bee
and A. Clark of Nueces were appointed by
the Chair as a committee to draft resolutions
expressive of the sentiments of those assem-
bled ami the counties they represented.
After a recess of one hour tbe ensuing re-
solutions were presented to the convention
and unanimously adopted :
Whereas a number of Mexican votes were
cast in the county of Nueces at the last Au-
gust election thereby controlling the eiec-
tion of the Judge in this judicial district
therefore be it
Retired 1st That we are satisfied that the
election of Jos. ) 'Connor to the Judgeship
of the 14th Judicial District was secured by
frauduleut votes and for a fraudulent pur-
pose Therefore a decent respect for tbe legal
voters of said district would require Wm. O'-
CaaaxaT to resign his office of Judge if he
should receive a certificate of election and
we the delegates here assembled do request
him to do so.
Resolced 2. That the Convention on the
part of the di.-trict represented do most ear-
nestly deprecate the fraudulent means used
to secure the election of said O'Connor and
being so fraudulent and corrupt is void and
we would recommend to the several counties
comprising the 14th judicial district pending
the contest for the judgeship which we now
recommend be instituted as soon as the cer-
tificate of the election may be issued that he
may not be recognized as our authorized
Judge.
(Signed by the Committee.)
It was then proposed and adopted that a
copy of these resolutions be presented to W
('Conor and Messrs. Clark Wagner and
Phifer of Corpus Christi were appointed a
committee to do the same.
On motion of Mr. Davis it was
Resolced That the Austin State Gazette
the Intelligencer the Goliad Messenger and
Son Antonio Herald do publish the abowa
proceedings.
The meeting then adjourned ii. oo.

ltei-ea ( nulltj :
"The Ranchero thus accounts satisfactorily
for the increased vote of this county :
" By an act of tho last legislature no less
than three unorganized counties (Encinal
Duval and Lacalle) were attached to this
county thereby nearly trebling its former
area and almost doubling its voting popula-
tion. Under said law the present jurisdiction
of our county extends from the Nueces river
to within a few miles of Laredo on the Rio
Grande 150 miles from east to west and
100 miles from north to south."
The above was cut from the State Gazette
of September 15 MS. The account will
not be so satisfactory ii for one moment you
take a map of the State made before the-e
three counties were created and while look-
ing at the proportions of Nueces county
compare it with the present Nueces county
proper together with Duval Encinal aad La-
salle. The area has not been increased fifty
per cent. much less trebled.
Then again as to the voting population
being almost doubled please turn to the
State Constitution Art. 7 sec. 34 last clause
" Every .new county as to the right of suf-
frage and representation shall be considered
as part as the county or counties from which
from which ii was taken until entitled by
numbers to the right of separate representa-
tion." So you see the voting population of
Nueces county could not be increased at all
the act of the legislature attaching tbe three
new counties to Nueces for juicial purposes.

by a mob a short time since on the charge of

and inoffensive man. e suppose the Advo-
cate would consider a man quite 'inoffensive''
and " pious' if he should set all tbe slaves at

the Advonatc think that the actual burnings
and the contemplated murder and outrages
in Texas are " inoffensive ?"
