A MAN SENTENCED TO DE HUSG FOR CIncULA-

very respectable and well-known citizen Of st.
Louis, named Henry A. Marsh, established
news depot at some point In Texas. Subse-
quently, he established other depots In Camden,
Ark, and Memphis, Tenn. A few days since
he received an order ut the Camden depot for
fifty copies Of the N. Y. Tribune. As q matter
of business, Marsh undertook to I'll the order,
and the package arrived In due course Of time.
while he was absent at Memphis. II having
been noiscd about Camden that the Tribune was

Marsh and bring him back to Camden. Accord.
ingly, they proceeded on their mission, and,
one night, captured their unsuspecting victim,
In Memphis, and conveyed him on board o
steamer, and locked him In q state room. The
captain of the boat, on learning their intention,
refused to convey the party, and they were
obliged to convey their captive across the river
in yawl. Arriving In Camden, Mr.. Marsh
was arraigncd on the charge VI circulating Sc

Marsh arrived in this city, enroute tor Camden
and is stopping at Barnum's Hotel, awaiting
the completion Of Q petition already signed by
many well-known citizens, ofall political parties
for the relief Of the unfortunate man, whose
only crime is embraced in the faithful discharge
of his business relation. Mrs. March will leave
for Camden to-day with the petition, numer-
ously signed, with the heartfelt prayer OF the

II. Y, Jouysoy.-Among the long list OF
falsehoods which the Republican papers are in
dustriously circulating in regard To the Demo-
cratic candidate for the Vice Presidency, Is the
statement that he was the secession candidate
for Governor of Georgia in 1850. This is with
out A particle of truth. Mcdonald was the Sc
cession candidate at that time against Howell
Cobb. and was beaten Is 900 votes. Mr.. john
son has twice been candidate Of the Democracy
of that State since then, and was elected each
time. his terms of service -four years-from
1853 TO 1851 being Immediately preceding that
of the present incumbent, Mr.. Brown.
We cut the above from the Democrat this
week, and We have seen in other Sham Demo-
cratic papers similar disclaimer. The charge
against Mr.. johnson, made by the Republican
papers, is not that he was the secession candi-
date for Governor of Georgia in 1850, but 1t is
q still worse one, that he as Governor of Georg-
ia counselled disunion in case Kansas should
be admitted as Free State. In our paper of
July 9th, we inserted the following article which
we now republish, calling the attention OF the
Democrat to the extract from the message oil
its candidate for the Vice Presidency. 1t is OF
no consequence whether Mr.. johnson was or
was not the secession candidate for Governor
Of Georgia in 1850, but it is Of consequence to
known what his record is, and what It proves
in relation to the charge of his being disu-
nionist. The article is as follows:

Her,chcl v. Johnson---The Disunionist

A Georgia secessionist, nullifer and disunioh-
ist, is q fit candidate for the Vice Presidency,
on the Douglas ticket. In 1856 Herschel V.
johnson was Governor Of Georgia. and ut the
same time Stephen A. Douglas was defending
the lawless outrsges Of the pro-slavery in'ad-
ers Of Kansas. 1t was thought then, as all
will remember, that petition would be pre-
scented for the admission Of Kansas as o Slave
Srate-the Missouri "rufians" kindly volun-
teering to hold the necessary convention and
frame the constitution. As the ensuing House
Of Representatives was certainly to DO anti-ad-
ministration, it was quite apparent that the
I" svindle' could not be endorsed, and in view
Of this probable result Gov. johnson proposed
to dissolve the Union. In illustration Of his
position We quote the following paragraph
from his message to the Georgia Legislature on
the 5th Of November, 1885:
The late elections In Kansas show that a
large majority Of the people are IN favor OF
aIoptinc slavery a. part Of their domestic
system and the Indications are, that she Will
probably apply, during the ensuing Congress,
Tor admission into the Union rs slavehoiding
State. This brings up the paramount question
of the day. Looking to the element OF the
NEXT Congress, Il seems that the anti-slayery
free.soil sentiment is in the ascendancy, ana
that her application will be rejected. ms,
therefore, is the condition Ut afairs--on the
one hand we see the threat, and the power 70
execute IL, to refuse the admission Of this terri
tory into the Union, because Of the existence
of slavery therein ! on the other, Georgia
stands pledged TO resist such an act, even to
disruption Of the Union. How, then, can we
secure the admission Of Kansas as slavehold-
ing State, without resorting to this ultimatum!
N can only be done by an unfinehing ddher-
snee 10 he position rhich the South has taken.
She is the centre Of the column Of her South.
ern confederates they will rally around and
sustain her. therefore recommend you to
provide by law for the calling OF a State Con-
sas, because of the existence Of slavery there
in 10 deliberate upon and determine the time
and mode Of the resistance contemplated by
the 4th resolution Of the Convention Of $3.50.
The Douglasites viii place themselves in .
pretty attitude in going before the people Of
Maine and asking them to support an avowed
di,unionist for the second Office in the nation
A di,uuionist 30 ultra Is to demand the disrup-
ton Of the confederscy because Congress might
refuse to admit Kansas with . fraudulent con.
stitution forced upon her by pro-slavery inuad-
ers! 1t is an infinitely worse proposition than
to support the Drcckinridgc and Lane party
outright-for THAT is honestly, avoucdly and
indsputably prS-slavery.
