Why the Southern Democracy are bound to insist on Protection. They cannot honorably, and with justice to their own sretion, give up their demand for the equal protection of the property of slaveholders in the Territories, for the reason tint tho Democratic Convention at Charleston so repeatedly atiJ emphatically volod down their claim ; and for the further rennou that the candidate for the Presidency who received a majority of the votes of that Convention is a persistent ond clamorous claimuiil of the right of tho Territorial “sovereigns” to exclude slavery by “un friendly local legislation.” IIo soys that this is the otlirinunce of the Kan*aa-Ne- hrasku uet and the Cincinnati Platform ; und the Charleston Convention re-affirmed that net and that platform, and sustained by a majority vote the cindidalo who thus construed them—sustained him and them by the votes of the same delegates, nearly all of them being Northern votes. Some Southern Democrats, who ate now willing to abandon this claim for tbfl sake of party “harmony,” are at the same lime urging as an objection to our National Union Convention that it did not demand protection ! It never voted it down, nor did a single delegate in it, from North or South, utter a word or cast a vote 'repudiating it. Moreover, neither of our candidates ever favored Douglas’ squatter sovereignly pro- grammo by voice or vote, nor does anybody suspect them of entertuining for it ^ny favor. Our candidate for the Presidency i* a slaveholder, born and residing in u slave State, and he never in his life prohibit slavery anywhere, or to allow the Territorial Legislatures to do it, but ho ha* repeal restrictions upon slavery I which Democratic Uongressinr ai d !

We find in the proceedings of their respective Conventions a remarkable con trast of the feeling of (he Democratic and { Black Republican parties in ruferenco to tins questiuu. Tho Northern majority in the Democratic Convention were evidently ' anxious lo repudiate protection and to go ! before their people on tho strength of that I repudiation ; while tho Black Republicans ' were solicitous to appear before the country | ui ursorters of tho equal tights of all sec- Tltc CJrent Subsidence. The readers of the** columns oro nwarc that we never had uny confidence in the 'backbone” cf the accession movement commenced atCharlcaton. We have thought and said, all the time, that the temporary difficulty would ho easily adjusted at Haiti- by some facile contrivance, a compro- in name, but in reality a surrender on tho part of the secedet*. We are now more than ever convinced that such will he the upshot of the Southern diversion. In Georgia, wo regard the struggle ss already Wo notico that some of our Opposi tion friendo aro holding up tho hands of the seceders and encouraging them to insiat manfully an tho principle of protection. Their sincere advocacy of this principle we do not doubt; but we take this occasion to give them our opinion that if ever they establish that principle it will bo without any material help from tho Democracy, and that the only probable means of obtaining it is by tho election of John Dull and the rc-nlfirmance of and adherence to tho Ter ritorial legislation of ISftO, which embraced lha lull meusuie of “protection" that is either attainable os necessary. We say (hat we regard the question ns settled, so fur as Georgia is concerned—she will send delegates to Baltimore, nml sup port the nominations there made. Tho Constitutionalist's call for a “National' contingent Convention at Mitledgcviiio i unnecessary. We find in tho proceedings of the several counties no indication of an intention on the part of tho acccdcrs tc perfect and adhere to an independent organ ization. A large majority of the counties, we believe, havo declared for the sending of delegates to Baltimore. This county, which is claimed for the secessionists, recommends the appointment of delegates, who are sim ply to stop at Richmond, on their way to Baltimore, for consultation. And when we look critically into the proceedings of most of tho counties in which the secessionists havo obtained an ostensible triumph, we repu ialc | g n j Baltimore, and not Richmond, the Ararat on which they expect to find rest—re-union, and not division, the polit ical object they have at heart. Our Oppo sition friends, who aro “sitting up” and sympathizing so sincerely with tlie secodcrs, will *0011 find thot they have been engaged ill a vain nml fruitless “labor of love," und that in the hour of trial three-fourths of t allies will tally again lo the the old Democratic bugle, even if squatter sovereignly Douglas bli 10 Territories !

Salisbury , Crolt and King, u committee ol Aldermen, appointed recently by the City Council ot Columbus, to enquire into tho practicability and feasibility ol the proposed chattgo of tho route of the (Mobile and ard Railroad by this place. The Com mittee was accompanied by Muj. Howard, tho President of tho Road, who ti is known lias been violently opposed to any altora- jii ol tho prcscut route. The Committee and the President were cheerfully and cordially received by our citizens, and the hospitalities of tho town wore tendered to them during their stay with us. A meeting was immediately called and held at the Court House last night, when the views and purposes of our citi zens wero freely and fully discussed. It wan clearly demonstrated that the in terests of the Road—of Columbus, and of tho citizens living South of the Conecuh River, would bo materially advanced by tho change suggested, il it should ho proved at all practicable, as from tho point ol di vergence proposed, to tho point where it is supposed tho Road would ro'cross tho river, tho land lying north ol tho river is generally poor—is but sparsely settled, and consequently would bo of but little benefit to tho Road, while on tho other band, it the routo were changed, and a depot established upon this, the South side ol the rivet, tho Road would command the pntronogo ol a large, growing and prosper ous section ol tho country, embracing tho whole of this county, a portion ol Butbour lying immediately east ol Pea River, a large part ot Dale and Coilec, and a con siderable portion ot Covington county, which it cannot possibly get, ot least to any very considerable extent, il tho route should bo confined entirely north ot the river, ns nl present laid out, it being well known tliut during a largo portion ol the business season tho river is almost impas sable, consequently a largo i>ortion of 1J10 trade above referred to ih driven to Kufaula or Geneva. Besides, it is a fact that cannot bo de nied, that llio Inst dollar has boon raised that can bo in this county towards the ex tension of llio Ruud, unless llio proposed change is made; us lar us* this-county is concerned, the further oxtousion of thu Road depends upon tho pooplo residing south of the Conecuh river. Wliut others may do to advance the work 1 atu unuhlo 10 say, but Muj. Howard says that his dependence is alono upon us. But if the change is made, an impetus will bo given to tho iiiidcriaking tliut will urouso our people to action, which wilt bo greatly bouuliciul to all llio intoiusts involved. And 1 Icol authorized further to say, that t the next meeting ol llio Stockholders July, a resolution should be pa adopting the change proposed by the > Troy, that the subscription already >h> raised, amounting to about $-10,000, w diatcly applied to llio extension Another View of the (iuestion. Troy, Ala., Juno 1st, 1660. To the City Council of Columbus: Gentlemen t Tho cotnmitteo delegated by you, to visit our town and confer with people upon the questions involved in tho change proposed to bo made in tho (Mo bile fi. Girard Railroad, havo performed their duty, und perhaps by this time made their report, which must necessarily havo been unsatisfactory, owing to tho circumstances under which their investigation was mado. When they arrivod bore no survey had been made of tlie routo which will bo selected il llio change is made. No estiinato of the cost to bo incurred had boon counted which could bo reliod upon with certainty. They had presented to thorn but 0110 sido of the question, and it lollowe ns a matter ut course, they will not bo able to make u very satisfactory report. It will bo too indefinite to act upon. 1 propose in this short com munication to stato a lew facte, which wero not brought to tho kuowledgn ot your com mittee, dial you may aci wisely in this matter, and secure, in tho conclusion at which you may arrive, tho host interest of the Road, the best in:erost ol Columbus, and ubovo ull thu best interest of 1’ike. In .t meeting held by our citizens on tho evening ol tho day your committee arrived, there were four speeches made, fully presenting that sido ol the question, which lavors tho proposal change. All was said that cun possibl^bo said in its favor, and 1 think a great doul not authorized by tho facte. I take it, that the visions of tho speakers ol thu evening must havo been clouded, or intercepted by some obstacle preventing a fuir view of tho cuse. Perhups they looked through a veil ol mtorcsi, which refracted so much the rays rcflocted from the rca tacts, us to present them to their cousiduru' fnlso light; lor which, us il was only in accordance with llio frailer parts ot nature, they arc not to be so severely censured. In tho first place, it was asserted that there were but lew mulconlciits in thu county; Hint is, there wero but few opposed to die proposed change, perhaps, not more diaiL tun »*r a dozen. Il it was mount hy 1 Ins to include ull dm opponents ol the pro. jeet, it is simply a great mistake. 1 Hunk, upon inquiry, it would he found dint n vusi number ol our cimtena lire opposed 10 uny change being mudo down tho LATER FROM EUROPE.

Wo then, havo done all this, and will do inoro if our reasonable request is complied with. Tlicro is still another viow of 1I10 sub ject, to which I wish to call tlio attention of your citizotiB; it is this: Tim great ma jority of our people uro small planters, generally out of debt, well to do in llio world, owning a few slaves, and making 11 uni tivo to fifty bulcs ol cotton annually ; coi.'sequcntly, no ono man u able to sub scribe a very large amount io iho Road ; therefiVO, in obtaining subscriptions lor stock to (ho proposed change we have be tween t*vo und threo hundred names, all ol whom would bo interested in tho Road to tho extent, at least, ol their subscription.

Wo havo an intelligent and competent engineer, Mr. l/ong, now engaged in sur vcying tho routo for the proposed change to ascertain if it is practicable. If it shall be found, aftor tho survey has been made, eiimu you would have Road been btouglil by T slunec. Should tlie project lo chan go suc ceed, ibn pooplo on 1I10 north side ol itic river will look at your action in thin way : They say they wero ind.u-cd to subarrlbe lo tho Road by tlio assurance that it would rundown thu rt ver—-that now, having suck ed them in, you disire lo rob them of the object so gn.iily do-irad, simply 10 accom modate a lew imereMeU pen-on- in Troy ami its vicinity.

On arriving I put up at Brown's Hotel, and next day went to tho quarters of tlio Ala bama delegation. The third day Ool. Wm. R.

Tho General was walking in the lawn in front of his man. sion as wo approached. Ho advanced and | gratpoj me by the hand. "No introduction is needed,” >>aid the Colonel. *‘Cj), no," said the General, shaking my band again, “I (-bull never forget Ham Dale." Wo .walked into his reception room, and I was it.trod need to Colonel Benton and five or six other distinguished men. They wero ull very civil, ar.d iuvi- leo me lo visit them.
