CoLuMBCS, Oct Sou 1000.
Gentlemen: Irregret to be compelled to decline
your fatterng invitation 10 meet my feow-citizens
of Columbus at the festive board. My public and
private relations render it impossible Tor me TO do
otherwise, without exposing myself 10 censure and
sacrifices which | am sure none of you whould wish
me Ia incur.
] rejoice with you at the renewed manifestations
of public opinion in favor of the principles and the
course of the present and past administrations Time
and reflection are alone necessary TO enable the peo
pie to understand and to the motives and
intentions of those to whom their power is confded
In moments of unex pected difficulty and excitement
Misrepresentation may delude, but the delusion is
eyer evanescent and The reward ofthe public
is always certain when his principles correct and
his motives pure
OF recent events In the State OF Georgia, il does
not become me to speak; the more particularly as
do not understand the present condition OF popular
opinion, 1t would appear that at moment when
tie long pending question between the General and
State Governments which has been the source Of so
much discordant controversy, has been satisfactorily
settled by the administration, decision has been
| made against il; and yet many OF those who have
Just received marks ofEthe public favor, avowedly
advocate and stand pledged to sustain the principles
which govern that administration on the most impor-
tan, topic on which it has been assailed.
pray you, gentlemen, 10 accept my grateful ac-
acknowledgements for the faltering terms in which you
have expressed the wishes of my fellow-ciiiZens,
and to excuse me TO them for not avaing myself Of
| their kindness.
Your fellow-cizen,
JOHN FORSYTH.
To Messrs Campbell and others, Committee.

THE PRINCIPLES AND POLICY OF THE
CONSERVATIVES

We ask the particular attention of our read
ers to an article under this head, in our paper
of to-day, copied from the Charlottesville Re-
publican. II carries with itselfthe evidence
Of being the production Of statesman; and
commends itself to the particular attention Of
all those who are for protecting the rights of
the States from Federal encroachments and
violations Of the Constitution and, also, to
such as are opposed to the repeated recon-
mcndations Of the present Secretary of the
Treasury, which would reduce the Govern
ment to the level Of brokers or stock specula-
tors. on scale that would make il the great
King Of both.

Garland, for Congress. II friend Maj. G. is TO
be opposed, we shall be very glad il his opponent
should be Gen. Gordon"
We should like to see the Globe opposing
Mr.. Garland, and advocating the election Of
General Gordon. lis consistency in SO doing,
would be but a part Of its advocacy of the Sub
treasury. As friend Of Mr.. Garland, and an
advocate for his reelection, when the time ar

II is somewhat amusing observe the GOODNESS with
which the Tories shake from their folds the man.

to think for himself and on a single point doubt the
inallibility Of the Executive Mr. Kilpore was a wear
ago the pride Of his friends in the Nineteenth ConEres
sional District, OF which he the representative in
Congress His judgment being convinced in 1886 he
agreed with Jackson in denouncing the Treasury
scheme, and with Van Buren, in the expression that the
State Banks would answer in the fiscal ends Of the Co
vernment But when. at the extra session, he found
his friends had turned their backs upon their former
views, his conscience would not permit him to do the
same, and he continued the firm opponent Of the Sub
Treasury scheme For this difference OF opinion on a
single point, the party guilotne has been applied
Mr., Carrying out the Jackson profession (grown
rusty for want Of use) OF obeyng the will Of his con-
st,uents yielding up his trust, the member from the
nineteenth district recently resigned his seat in Con-
gress. How rudely has Re been treated for his
scieniious discharge Of duty How an indepen-

as the treatment of Mr.. Kgore shows the tories Of
this country to be! 1t appears that to practice the
doctrine Of obey resign is to manifest higher
feeling than miff" and that may be honest
representative, so long he supports all the measures

7AongM.-Werc children accustomed from in

wond be iiule need OF there learning arbitrary
rules Of Grammar-they would naturally speak and

caught from those with whom we associate; and if
we would have the young improve in this important

THE NEW MOTTO OF THE GLOBE.


The Globe, of Monday night, has adopted
as its motto, the toast of Senator Buchanan,
which commences thus AN INDEPEN-
DENT TREASURY, WHOSE OFF.
GERS ARE RESPONSIBLE TO THE
PEOPLE," To this sentiment we say
AMEN, with all our heart. 1t is in exact ac-
cordance with the resolution Of the Con-
sentative Convention at Syracuse, New York,
which proposed that the Constitution be so
amended as to take from the Executive the
appointment and control of the Secretary of
the Treasury, and give them to Congress. Such
an independent Treasury" we advocate.
Let the Treasury be divorced" from the
Executive, and its officers be made response
BILE to the people, through their representa-
tives, and be appointed by them. We go still
further We would diminish Executive pa
tronage and power still more. We 60 for the
people electing their own Postmaster in every
city or town in which Post Office is esta-
blished. This will only be exercising apower,
which of right belongs to the people.
We hope soon to see the first move made,
that will lead to these reforms" divorce" of
the patronage Of these two great interests of
the country from the Executive, and placed
IN the hands of the people. In our opinion
nothing whatever could contribute to more
powerful extent to secure the perpetuty Of the
Union, than their adoption. The great mass
Of the people, we think, will be in favor of them,
while the Office holders and aspirants to power
will, of course, oppose them.
