The last Herald of Freedom, the organ

at Lawrence, K, L, frankly comes down
in this wise:
We do not suppose there is one person in

this to become slave State. If every thing
is quiet, and, from this time forward, the
people are allowed to have their OVID choice
it would be preferable to remain a Terri.

nss~ The name Of the gentleman whom
the democracy of Georgia have agreed
upon as candidate for governor is JOSEPH
&. Brown. The Atlanta InteIlig ncer
says che is young man, probably not
more than thirty five years of age, native
Of Pickens district, South Caroin', and
emigrated to Georgia somo fifteen years
since, poor boy in search of his fortune.'
He met with patron who bcfrieuded him,
and sent him to Yale College, where he
graduated with distinction. He came back
to Georgia, was elected to the state senate
and judge of the flue Ridge circuit, and
will soon be made governor of Georgia.

Gen. Packer and Prohibition.

An effort has been made by the opposi-
ton press to create The impression that Gen.
Packer, when in the State Senate, was a
Maire Law man, and advocated the passage
of the somewhat celebrated jug Law, so
called--although this enactment was made
tico gears after he retired from the Senate!
The same party that now attacks Gen
Packer is the party that was loudest in
advocating prohibitory and restrictive laws,
then, and denounced in unmaasured terms
Gen. Packer and the whole Democratic
party because they would not go into its
restrictive and proscriptive measures. 1t
is the same party that, in the Legislature
of 1855, when Know No hingism and Black
Republicanism run riot at Harrisburg, so
FAR disregarded the voice of the sovereign
people, as TO enact a prohibitory law
providing "that no license for the sale of
Liquors shall be granted to the keeper of
any Hotel, Inn, or Tavern" &c. See
Pamphlet Laws OF 1888, P. 226.
The truth is, that Gen. Packer during
his entire senatorial career, did nothing more
than to vote for leaving the whole question
ofprohibition to the decision Of the sovereign
people. His acts are part Of the Legislative
history of the State, and an examination
of the Journals of the Senate, during the
time he was member of the body, will
show that this is his only offence nothing
more. And this is doubtless the reason
why these politico-temperance writers and
orators are now attacking him.
We shall refer to this subject at length in
week or two, and shall be able to show
from the record that Gen. Packer is moi
