TO THE. VOTERS,
OF MURRAY COUNTY, GEORGIA.
Ftixotr-CiTiZEK*:
An apology, perhaps, is due fiom me fur
not having noticed, at an earlier day, the
address of Major Mark A. C-ooper, in reply
to one previously made by me to you just
before the late October election. If so,
suffice it to say, that ciicumstances beyond
my control, together with severe and pro
tracted bodily indisposition, have occasion
ed the delay. I trust, however, that the
lapse of time which ha» intervened, has
only rendered you more capable of dispas
sionately considering and correctly deciding
upon the points in issue between us. Con
troversies ol a personal character, involving
matters of fact and questions ot veracity, 1
know, are generally quite uninteresting, if
not disgusting, to the public, and perhaps
to no one more so than myself; but some
times they become necessary as well for
the vindication or the truth,for the “truth’s
sake,” as that the reckless and corrupt,who
seek hv improper means to deceive and
mislead their “countrymen,” may be pro-
perly exposed, and receive that indignation
from a discerning continually which jus-j
lice requires, and which seldom fails to be
awarded. It is for this reason I appear be
fore you again.
In the discussion at Spring Place be
tween Mr. Stiles and myself, I stated no
thing in relation to Major Cooper’s con
nexion with the Western Insurance and
Trust Company of Columbus, “a chartered
monied institution,” with greater “exclu
sive privileges” than any bank in the State,
which was not strictly true, and in my
opinion justified by the circumstances.—
But it is the “galled jade that winces,” and
hence Major Cooper’s excitement at the
lime. The object ol my publication after
wards was to silence misrepresentations—
that all might be informed of the cliracter
and extent of my statements—and that
Major Cooper might have an opportunity
of assuming the responsibility ot entering
a denial, if he chose, in such a manner as
to be met. This he has done, joining
with me in four issues of fact. And it is
lor me now, after the excitement of ilic
election is over, to show you how much he
hazarded in so doing.
Two of the points of difference between
us, (denominated by Major Cooper as
“misstatements and untruths" in my ad
dress,) I deem it unnecessary to pay fur-
ilier attention to than to give a passing no
tice. The first of these (which is the last
in his order) is my statement that “lie was
not present (at the discussion) until called
in bv some friends for the purpose of crea
ting confusion.” This he says is not so,
and that “I knew it was untrue;” that he
“was called in not to create, but to prevent
confusion.” Of this you may be the judges.
There was no disturbance or confusion un
til he was called in ; and if his object was
not to cause, but prevent what ensued, he
was certainly most singularly unfortunate
in bis object, as well as unsuccessful in his
efforts.
The other of the minor points of differ
ence (which stands first in his order) is
wherein he charges me with an attempt to
make the impression upon the public mind
that “he was connected with a ‘chartered
company’ of large ‘privileges,’ operating
in Columbus at the time of his noniina-
it will be generally admitted that lie knows
how to make a living in other ways besides
fanning. But u seems that the true cha
racter of his genius was never before fully
developed, or, if so, wholly overlooked:
lor, amongst all the other attributes of great
ness, he may now lay equal claims to the
possession, in an eminent degree, of the
powers of logic. And (he loregoing speci
men, transcending any thing to be tound in
the writiugs of Bacon or Aristotle, may be
treasured up by his future biographer as

daily business of banks, and, yet such was
never before construed into circulation.’’—
Now.read the fullowing.frorn the statement
alluded to: “ The Company went into
operation the 1st January, 1339, after pay-
ing 10 per cent, premium for the clear char
ter. Since that time they have made divi-
dends.ol 49 per cent', on the capital slock,
leaving, after paying for their charter, 39
per cent., ot from 9 to 10 per cent, per an
num. They commenced winding up their
business about the 1st of April, and on the
25lh of May had reduced the deposite list
from $90,000 to near $3,600.” Nyw from
these two statements oDe thing is clear,

deposited their “gold and silver” with them

of April last, they had $90,000 deposited
with them, for which some kind of certifi

sought “chartered rights” and “exclusive
privileges and monopolies,” not enjoyed hy
ihe mass of community. This was to make
the impression that Major Cooper and his
party, in “principle and in practice,” were
opposed to such orders and institutions,
and that they,professing tub* Democrats,
were the real friends of tlio people. But
when the position was exposed, and the

ADMINISTRATORS’ NOTICE
OUR MONTHS after date, application
will be made to the Honotable the Inferior
the attempt, that the feelings became ex
asperated at tbe exposure: and the last ex
pedient for desperate cases was resorted to;
that is, "broad, downright, unqualified de
nial." To this course I have no objection,
or to the issue which has been joined. The
consequences must be borne hy those who
assume the responsibility. I stated to yon
distinctly that Major Cooper’s company
did issue “ceitificates of deposite,” intend
ed to answer the purpose of circulation j
that “1 had seen them, and had them, and
knew it to be true.” I had received them
and passed them as money ; and in thi
matter as in the others, I ant willing that
lion," in which he says, I “deceived and . y CU should also be the judges,
misled vou, and misrepresented him.” In j And in confirmation of wli
reply to this, I refer to the address wherein
it is stated as plainly as language can make
it—so clearly that no one could misuml
chat I asserted.
mau occupying the station of Maj. Cooper.
For it was to be presumed that, however
little he might be iuliuenced by personal
considerations, or a regard for himself, a
due sense of obligation at least to that 1 trge
and respectable party in the State, who had j
for the time being given him such promi
nence in the coun’ry as lo place him at the
head ol their ranks, would have restrained
him in w us degtee iu the latitude of his
assertions.
In the first place he says, that “eighteen
months ago lire stockholders of the Compa
ny determined lo close their business for
the simple reason that, after all illeslaiabrs
and lies told of th-nr, they did not realize
more than eight percent. Therefore the
Company closed its office, drew out the
»ress, and ur. vv imam ». employ, ot eo
stand—not that at the time of his nomina
tion ; but that, during the previous “fall,
winter, and spring,” when different indi
viduals of bis party—he amongst the rest—
were spoken of as suitable candidates to
be run by them for Governor, he was con
nected with such an institution, and was
the n»n finally selected. As to tlie time
h;a company “quit business,” or “ceased
operation*,” I made no statement. And
does Major Cooper deny that during the
previous “fall, winter, and spring,” he was
so connected ? or was, if you please, at the
head of that “huge monopoly 1” He does
not. Sj far from it, he does not say that
he was disconnected from that company
even up to the time of penning his address.
For, mark his language: He says, “it (the
company) had (at the time of his nomina
tion) quit business;" and he “was not
(then) connected with any chartered in
stitution doing business." The time they
“quit business” you will see hereafter, was
about tbe 25th of May last, a very short
lime before the nomination. But 1 appre
hend lire truth to be that, even up to the
time he wrote his address, he was still at
the head of the same company, (which
seems like an engorged beast of the forest,
only to have retired for a season to digest
its ravenously devoured prey,) else how
could he oiler lo sell me theeharter ? Then,
fellow-citizens, who attempted to deceive
you 1 I. who slated in this particular what
even Major Cooper did nut venture to de
