Comments of the Freesoilers oh the Result of
the Electum in this State.? The Northern responses
to the result of the late election in this
State are beginning to reach us. What truth
there is in the claims set up by Northern journals
with regard to the influences operating in
this election, time must determine. Our object
now is not to enquire into the truth or falsehood
of the claims but simply to refer to a
state of facts which should convince holiest
men of all parties of their duty, without argument,
and without appeal.
The following comments upon the late election
in Georgit, we take from the New York
i , .1
Tribune. 'I ltey are made by a cool, snrewu i
and sensible man, by no ineaus unacquainted
with the nature and workings of politicians and
demagogues, and the influences these devices '
are likely to produce upon the masses. Slave- j
holders of all parties should look at this matter j
well, and see that the question of Southern :
Rights, growing out of the institution of sla ;
very, should not be separated f>oni one purely |
of interest, of dollars and cents to the slave
owner. Once disconnect the question of principle,
of patriotism, and make it one simply ot
property, of loss to the owner, and the inslitu- j
tion itself is gone, the South even will be j
against it.
The Tribune makes a flight mistake in supposing
Gov. McDonald to have been run for :
Governor two years ago ; it was, as our read- i
ers know, the p.esent incumbent, Gov. Towns. ;
With thiscorrec Jon we commend the Tribune's j
comments to the serious and calm reflection of
the Southern people.
'/ he Gforgi't Election.?Two years ago,
? - - -- ? ? ? t" ,
Charles J. McUmaia was caoseu vjuvemui <>i
Georgia over Edward Y. H II, the Wliig candidate,
by 3 19*2 majority?the vote being a very
large one. The State is very evenly divided
between the two great parlies, bu' McDonald
rode the high horse on Miuthem Rights, while
Hill pointedly refused to do any such thing, I
and that refusal turned the scale against him. j
The State was thus put decidedly against the i
Whig party.
McDonald seems to have been in earnest in |
his semi Calhounisin. He knew how lie had
won his election, and he went ahead accordingly,
Southern Congresses, mid ' various games
of that sort,' found in him a read} and ardent
supporter. About half his party, and a very
light sprinkling of quasi Whigs earnestly sympathized
with hiin. But the mass of (lie people
did not?far from it. Thousands who had j
humored the joke so long a3 they regarded it
as a mere party ruse to heat the Whigs, began j
to back water so soon as the matter came to 1
look serious. At the head o.' these stands flowell
Cobb, Speaker of the last House, a shrewd
and strong man, who has made many a stump
speech to prove tho Northern Whigs essentially
Abolitionized, a d quoted the Tribune to prove
his assertion, but who has no idea of going out
of the Union, Proviso or no Provi-o. And
this brings us to another interesting feature of
the present contest.
Georgia, like Virginia, and, less thoroughly, !
Maryland, Nort.i Carolina and Alabama, is a :
State containing two antagonist Social systems j
?the Slave system in the South East and Free j
Labor system in the North-West When the j
Slavery Propaganda compelled (Jen. Jackson |
to drive the Cherokees out of Geoigia, in at- J
rocious defiance of justice, humanity and pub- |
lie faith, it had previously been found necessa I
ry, in order to stimulate the whole Peopled j
Georgia to sustain the nullification position ol j
Gov. Troup toward the Federal Government
under the Presidency of :Mr. Adams, to set up
all the lands to be obtained from the Indians to '
be gambled for in a gigantic State Lottery, |
every Georgian having a free ticket. Thus the j
Cherokees* lands, before the original and light i
ful owners had been driven away from them,
had already been distiibuted by lottery, mainly ,
in small tracts, to many thousands of citizens. '
A gold fever broke out about this time, ami !
precipitated the settlement while prevent'iig the
aggregation of thes> lands; ami thus .NorthWestern
Georgia has been recently settled in j
farms too small to be profitably cultivated by j
slave labor and by farmers who bad no slaves 1
to work, even though tliey liu<l lanu on which i
to employ them And thus it happens that the :
most thrifty and powerful (in voting; section of
the State, which has liilheito gone ' Democrat
ic,' because their lands were wrenched from
the Indians by Gen. Jrckson, has now put its
veto on the Slavery Propaganda by going almost
cn mnsse for the Union Ticket la the ;
older counties generally where slavery bears j
sway, Cobb's vote is that of the Whig party
and very little beside; in the most Southern j
and peculiarly Cotton and Kice-growinir section,
Cobb has lest than the Whig vote in f rmeryears;
but in the young Noith-West the
mujni ities for Cobb roll up alter this fashion :
DeKalb, 727 Chattooga, -100
Cass, 550 Floyd. 080
Cherokee, 550 Habersham, 878
Jackson, 414 Madison, 524
Lumpkin, 797 Walker, 559
Newton, 033 Walton. 325
Gilmer, 1,000.
Most of these counties gave McDonald large
majorities two years ago. They have now
demolished him. The less populous counties
also of the Cherokee country have generally
given Cobb decided majorities.
Of the members of Congress elect, two are !
'Southern Rights'men,elected by meager ma j
jorities from the Savannah and Macon districts 1
respectively; three Union Democrats of verv i
moderate party prepossesLim.s, Messrs Toombs
and Stephens who used to ho Whigs, as we
think Stiphens still is at heart, and James
Johnson, a Whig who had to encounter in the I
canvass, and Hid not contradict, affidavits j
charging hint with having maintained that the
North did right in insisting on the excludmi id*
slavery from the New Territories, ami with
having lately sold his property in CJeorgia in
order to remove to a Free State, expressly on
the ground that he would art subject his tdiil- ;
dren to the evils and contaminations of slave- j
rv. We feared these affidavits would damage
him in the canvass, hut they do not seem to
have done so. He is at all events triumphantly
elected, from n district hitherto repre ented by j
a Lot-ofoco Propagandist. j
?-Let us not be misunderstood. The people |
of Upper Georgia, like those of Western Virginia,
art- hostile to Abolition as it has b en prescute
I to them, and in favor of upholding what ,
they term ' Southern Rights.' But at heart
they wish every negro was hack in Africa, and
instead of consenting to dissolve the Union in
behalf of the extension of slavery, they would
welcome the Union without slavery as an alternative
to slavery without the Union. In support
of this assertion, we coutideiitly appeal to
the future.
A Bkaiitiful Coxckpiok.?We saw yesterday

Sir: The president has learned fioin the:
newspapers, with taedeep st regret, that a dis- !
graceful outrage has reeen ly been committed :
by a lawles mob, who have by force rescued a !
fugitive from labor from the custody of the j
marshal, thereby resisting the execution of le- |
gel process and setting the law at defiance. :
tie hopes that the statements rvpectiiiii the
occurrence are exaggerated, especially as it j
took place at your residence, and no cummu- j
iiic?tion upon the subject has been received 1
from you. But whatever may have been the j
extent ol the outrage, he expects that no efforts ;

.Men whose sworn duty it is to execute tlieu , ,
niu-t he protected an sustained in the discharge 1
of that duty.
I cannot doubt that the great majority of
your citizens are loyal to the Constitution, and
that they will aid t ie proper ollicers in bringing
to justice those who have wan only and
wickedly violated the i::o*t sacred duty of a
citizen, in a free Republic, by setting an example
which, if followed, must endanger the life
of every otiicer charged with the execution of
the laws.

Madame ViettiAssisted
by Signora Avignone and Sanquirico,
gave their first concert in Camden last evening at
Temperance Hall, to a highly respectable and intelligent
audience, which vvoulJ no doubt have
been much larger, had the notice given been more '
general. Signora Vietti has for several weeks
past, sung with distinguished success in Charleston
and Columbia to large and fashionable audiences,
as we are informed, and to which ample
satisfaction was given. To those icho can at predate
these artists in their performances, 'hey must
afford a rich musical treat, seldom afforded our
citizens a' home. We cannot, as a matter of course,
fully appreciate Italian Opera singing, to do so
it is necessary to understand '.heir language;

Madame Vietti has certainly remarkable and extraordinary
vocal powers. The Signors are pach
splendid singers and afforded in their ('omic Duett '
of the Pistols, much amusement to the audience, ;

Madame Hamtnarskold presides at thp Piano J

The Plank Road.
We ask the attention of our citizens to the
communication of " Lancaster" in this evening's
paper. That the time has come for Camden to
do something else than talk in this matter must
b* apparent to all?she must either build this
road, or become ail that her worst Ptiemies could
wish her. The Southern Standard has the firlowing
remarks on the subject:
We think that in 111:111 v instances, plank
roads are decided)v preferable to, and more
profitable than railroades. The proposed road
to Camden is probable one of those instances.
A railroad through such a section ?f country
would be nothing to the stockholders and nothing
to the commercial interests of the town;
but a plank road, would be every thing The
long and deep sand hills, cry out for plank to
cover them. The tall and well grown pine
trees so admirably fitted for timber, hut with
no outlet for rafting, continually present their
strong and earnest appeals to the plank road
builders. The pulling of the steam engine
above an inland town is no music for its merchants
But he sees beauty in the one, two
and f-'ttr lirrse wagons coming in streams upon
the plank road.

TO THE PEOPLE OF KERSHAW.
Fellow-Gitizens: What has become of your
'nog-talked o/"Plank Road? Do yoa intend to
jtand idly by, and permit Camden to be ruined ?
It does appear to me that we are cursed with a
prevailing disposition to talk much and do lit
'le in ereru thin* which relates to our moral,
intellectual or political advancement. If blight
and ruin are to stalk abroad over one of the
fairest portions of God's earth, it will be our
urn fault; and posterity will hold us responsible
for such inexcusable and unparalleled in.
difference to our best interests. [Although we
thus freely speak of ourselves to earh othrr, let
not impudence presume, that, consequently, we
would tamely permit others so to speak of us.]
As a friend to your Town and District I would
sound in your ears a note of warning?and
say toyou.be up and rloing/ act! aril Unless
vou do a road will be built from Lancas
terville to Chestervill", and thus cutting you
off entirely from the up-country trade. Will
you permit this to he done! 1 hope not- As

time, "Co-opera'urn" is to lie the order of the
jay ain'?ng us a" least, let us test its virtue and
ffieacy in the way of a Plank Road ; having
hus Itrfnrr ot/r eyr* experimental evidence of
rs efficiency in small matters, we may then
lave a hr.'ter op'nion of its power in the proluction
of a Southern Republic. ,
Unfortunately, some of us can do little else '
hail make our appeal to those whose circnm- '
itanees are more favorable, and wlio need but

o rally, and rally at once, and br't/li the rou t.
