The Reason why the Opposition Party in ( Georgia Should Support Breckinridge and Lane. Mf.ssrs. Editors : —Existing circum- j stances render it our imperative duty to ! give to our friends and the public, reasons which have induced us to assume the posi tion we occupy in relation to the ensuing ‘ Presidential election. As to the sly insin uations which have been whispered in pri- j vate corners, to the effect that wc have abandoned our principles and gone over , to the Democracy, we simply treat them ; with that contempt which they so justly j merit. It is only those who are liberal enough to accord to us honesty of pur pose, we are willing to gratify with an ex planation. We are actuated by a nobler incentive than party prejudice. We stand upon principles —principles such as have been contended foi by all parties at the South for years past. And if an adherence to those principles throws us into fellow ship with a respectable and intelligent por tion of the Democratic party, we most cor dially greet them as brothers, and hail them as patriots, who are fighting nobly for the rights which others, equally bound to their support, have cowardly- and basely abandoned in the hour of need. We take the position that the American party, (especially in Georgia)has no can didates in the field. Why? Bell and j Everett as everybody knows, were nomi-. nated by the self-styled “Constitutional Union party.” And how came the Amer ican party ot Georgia identified with that new organization, or connected in any way with the action of its Convention ? The Convention which met in Milledge ville on the second day of may last, said, “we hold all questions of Governmental policy as subordidatc to the great issue; now p e sed upon the Consideration of the ; American people in regard to the question ! of African slavery', and wc hereby pledge j ourselves to co-opcratc cordially with all j men in all parties in this growing Repub lic, who agree with us in the enforcement of the following cardinal principles in re lation thereto. The principles that follow ed were that “the right of property in African slaves is recognized and guaran teed by the Constitution of the United States. That the Territories of the Gov- ernment are the common property of the citizens of the Union. That neither Con gress nor a territorial legislature has anyq right to legislate against the slave interest in the territories. That we are entitled to protection from tho Government, &c.” Delegates were then appointed to the Bal timore Convention, with instructions to in si t there upon the recognition of those principles in the adoption of a national platform. Did they do it ? Thcv did not. So utterly hopeless was the prospect of success, that the prudent delegates from the State of Georgia declined to make the demand, for fear that the harmony cf the Convention might bo disturbed. Thus the question which their Convention at home had declared was the “great issue” before the country, was ignored and indig uantly spurned and spit upon by this “Constitutional Union/ Convention, and their candidate were nominated and pla ced upon a platform more “general and extensive” than the one so roughly handled by Mr. Toombs a number of years ago. It is time to repudiate double-meaning reso lutions and platforms. The exigences of the case and the times demand a clear and unequivocal avowel of the principles upon which a party seeks to go into power. It is true that the “Constitution, the union, and the enforcement of the laws” would cover the whole ground if the people of all sections and parties ccnstiucd such terms alike. Bit it needs no argument from us to prove that such is not the case. One of the brightest in tellects this country ever produced, once said that the Constitution was so broad and comprehensive that you could, with ease, drive a wagon and term through it. and we want no better evidence of the va riety of constructions placed upon the afore said platform than the fact that men en tertaining a great diversity of opinion on the “great issue” were freely ballotted for in the Convention. Judge McLean, for instance, a republican, who dissented from the Dred Scott dcscituon, received a res pectable vote. We are told that tho Con ventional was a national one, and that Bell and Everett are tho only national can didates in the field. Noiv we would ask, where does their nationality come from? It is true there were delegates in the con vention from the different sections of the Union, hut their nationality, if they had any, was undoubtedly preserved at the sac rifice of principle, for we all know that the incongruous elements of which it was com posed would have blown the convention in to a thousand atoms if any attempt had been made to incorporate in its platform tl\a principles adopted by the Millerjge villc convention of the 2nd of May. As proof of it, a delegate was hissed down, for merely alluding in his remarks, to the question of slavery in the territories.— There is in the action of this convention good and sufficient grounds to justify the course we have pursued. And outside of it, there are weighty arguments to sustain us. By reference to the platforms which have been adopted by the American party in Georgia during several years past, it will be seen that they contain doctrines on the slavery question identical in substance with the principles adopted by the Con vention which nominated Breckinridge and Lane. lion. B. 11. Tlill, the TTcrcuies of his party in Georgia , said in his letter to Col. Dudley, last year, that if, in 1800, the Democratic party nominated a candi date for the Presidency, on the principles of protection and the Drod Scott decision, and his own party did not do it, he would be bound by consistency to go with the Democracy. Now we would submit to any candid, unbiased mind, the question wheth er or not the emergency anticipated by him in that letter has arisen. Wc think it has. Therefore wo feel bound for tho sake of “consistency,” if for nothing clso, to give our humble support to Breckinridge and Lane. In alluding to the distinguish ed author of the letter referred to, we wish it distinctly understood, that it is done in no spirit of detraction or disrespect. Wc consider him an ornament to his country q.nd an honqr to his State. History will qeyer do him justice until the lapse of tbpe shall have developed still more plainly his sagacity as a far-sec-ing statesman, and his fellow-citizens will not learn to appre ciate ljinj yntil dire necessity'shall “wake J3Vic fCj/Jc-lt Aftfr/itcc fedtusf. m tit rfc/tet&/tcc cytet. 7 CARTERSVILLE, GA., AUGUST 17, 1860. |up the sleeping genius of patriotism, to take the place of party rancor. We* re gret to find that he feels constrained to | pursue a course different from that pointed | out in his letter, but since it is so, wertiust ’ for the present, hid him a fond adieu, pre ! ferring to stick to the principles he has laid down for our guidance, than to cast in 1 our lot with anew and untried party, whose course is so dimly and infinitely defined. In addition to the reasons already giffen why Southern men should support Breck ■ inridge and Lane, may be added two oth jer facts at least. One is the necessity- of j the South uniting on a tic k t which stands some chance of carrying States enough to defeat the election of Lincoln and Ilan/in. Another is the fact, that during the awful suspense th it existed in the South; -*>e tween the adjournment of the Charleston Convention and the assembling of ¥he. Richmond and Baltimore Conventions, the leading presses and politicians of the cdun ; try, irrespective of party, urged the secc ; ders to maintain the position they had ,as -1 suring them of their hearty co-operation when the time should come. They hav ing been true to their position even to the disruption of tho ties that bound them to the Douglas democracy—is it not ungrate ful, ungenerous and unmanly for us to forsake them in the hour of need, when they arc fighting so nobly for the est.ib , lisbmcnt and maintenance of our rights !and privileges in the Union? So far as we are concerned, onr course is marked out. Narrow minded, unprincipled polit ical charlatans may call us renegades, dis organizers, or disunionists if they choose. Opprobious epithets dictated by party na- j lignity intermingled with the spirit of : submission to wrong, so prevalent in the land, have no terrors for us. Duty to 1 j ourselves, to our country and our section, j ‘demands that we should vindicate the; J principles which we and all true men, both , j North and South, have contended for, and| ! wo expect to do so without to a-k the dus-j tardly xucstion, “What are we to gain by’ it?” < ! Having been forced to the necessity of j thrusting our names before the public, we; deem it not amiss to take a passing notice! of what purports to be the history of the ! American meeting in Pike, as given by the; model (?) Editor of the American Union, j We regret exceedingly the necessity ofj doing so as wc cannot do justice to the meeting and ourselves without contradict- ] ing the statem ‘ids in the American Union for either the editor or the individual who “detailed the affair to him, has misrepre-j seated the matter. The statement that; on the first Tuesday in J line there could i not be “enough mustered to form a meet- | ing U positicely untrue. The meeting was j organized, and notwithstanding there waP quite a number present who were ready to. repudiate the action of the Baltimore Con vention, it was deemed prudent to await: the meeting of tho Uemocv'.tic C’OBYCn-j tions and sec whether or not the majority! platform would bo adopted and acceptable, candidates placed upon it. In speaking of the meeting which was held on the first j Tuesday in July, Mr. Murray says:, “Those who called the meeting were very a Jive in arranging for the organization./ and as they appeared so prominent, the j Chairman placed two of them and another who sympathized with them and as equally, officious, on the committee toreporbusiuess. j Now, any one who was present at the| meeting, knows full well that the insinua-! tion contained in these remarks is a foul slander upon the parties implicated. The Chairman and Secretary of the meeting! arc both strong Bell and Everett men, and j made at least two speeches apiece iu their defense. The other member of tho committee who is charged with equal officiousness in the meeting, desires us to treat tho accu sation with that scorn and contempt which falsehood and unjust denunciation always deserve. Every man ivho was at the meet ing knows that the charge of his being “officious” is an unmittigated falsehood.— He went into the meeting after it was or ganized, and when his name was annouced as a member of the committee, he asked the chairman to excuse him, but he did not do it. The enlightened and accomplished editor of the Union need not trouble himself so much about Air. Bell’s record. The insin uation that hisopposers on the subject will not amount to much, where all parties concerned, are best known. The free and independent voters in Pike, as well as else where, will make a record concerning him in November next, which will speak bet ter things for the South than did his vote to reject a State which applied for admis sion into the Union, because its Constitu tion recognized slavery. We deem it unnecessary to refer, par ticularly to the record of Mr. Everett, j Wc presume every honest man will admit his unsoundness on the slavery questionAs lie has uttered sentiments more objecttorSJ blecven, than any platform of principles proclaimed the Black Republican party. Wc have thus given in a disconnect way, some of the reasons which have iulji cc l us to espouse the cause of Brock n ridge and Lane.

Ladies and gentlemen: After presenting | ray respects to the Lady-Visitors of this Division allow me to apologize for nssum | ing my present position “a small manifes i tation of admiration and esteem.” My j laudible design in contemplation is the o ly consideration which could have induced !me thus to transcend “The Conventional j barriers of feminine delicacy to occupy a position so conspicuous. I apprehend I am quite unable to advance j ■ anythin” deserving of your attentions. I shall not however attempt to supply my deficiency bv pleasii?.’ the supeficial; “by rhetorical garlands.” But to mingle my ; veicc of condemnation, against the dcletcri j ous draught. To create an earthly para ! dise where thorns and thistles xvant to lux uriate, to unfurl the banner of Temperance which proclaims in thunder’s voice, against this “monster of monsters.” Will our banner be unfurled in vain? Will not ev ery breeze waft tidings of victory ? Young gentlemen do you not prefer the society of young ladies to the excitement of your brandy-punch ? You who are now ‘wrecking all your hopes for eternity, all of your devotions to the wine-cup mingle | yourselves with this association and be ’ safe from ruin which surety betides you.— | Relieve your grey-headed father from such joh ! such unknown anxiety, let him cast a j smile upon you, radiant with the joy of | light playing brightly around his CQunte !nance. Husbands, you who are now] | standing upon the verge of this volcano “a step or two more” and the fearful plunge | : had been token, retreat from your perilous j ’ position, and seek safety in this association | ! dry up the tears of grief, and hush the ! sighs of your broken hearted wife, she has ’ long enough endured the intensity of grief ; again link your affections to her as a sober j husband. Let my feeble voice beseech you Ito procure for yourselves an approving j conscience, to procure for yourselves hu , man happiness. \ In conclusion allow me to present you this banner, take it—guard it well ! Love, Purity and Fidelity are its foundation.— May it stand. “Let rains descend, let floods come, let winds blow, and heat up on it” hut still let it stand for it is found ed upon a rock. 31 ay its destiny ever be to survive the wrecks of the universe, and be perpetuated in heaven where all will be immaculate members of the Sous of Temperance. July 4th, 1860. Dr. Samuel R. Kramer replied as fol lows : Respected Alias, in behalf of the mem bers of Amicalola Division allow me to ex press through you to the Ladies our heart-; gratituuo for this kind proof of their appreciation of our order. We have started out to battle against a formidable foe, one that has entered almost every household ; and without the assistance of the fair por tion of our community, our efforts would be almost fruitless. They, showing anoth er proof of their kind and loving hearts and proving that they now, as they always have, still take an interest in fallen and depraved man, have nobly come to our assistance and not only encouraged us by j their presence in our Lodge Room, but here, this day, a day wc reverence, the an- Iniversary of our liberity, they come for ward and present us a banner under the ! folds of which we are to battle for the sal ’ vation of man from the darning bowl. — | This presentation is a strong proof that they are as ready and as willing to aid us ! in this Battle, as were the noble women of ! Charleston to aid our forefathers in the j struggle for liberty, when they requested Ito fight by their side. And in receiving j this banner wc promiseyou, ladies, to keep ; it as purely inviolate throughout all time as ; wc have this day received it from the hands iof tho fair donors. “No image of some marbled saint niched in cathedrals isle shall be more hallowed from the rude hand of sacriligous wrong” we promise to fight as bravely and as cheerfully beneath its i folds for the cause of Temperance as our I forefathers of old fought beneath stars and I stripes to put down foreign aggression; and we extend to the ladies an invitation, I to battle with us, to fight by our side, to buoy up our drooping spirits by their | bright cheering presence. Your influence I lad ies in this cause is incalculable. Your creator has endowed you with talents which are to be exerted for the benefit of mankind. The talent of woman consists a great deal in her influence and if there is one cause in which a lady has more influence than it is the cause of Temperance. You but frown down upon the use of intoxicating liquors and the young men, the hope of our country, who cannot live but beneath the charming smiles of the fair sex, who would never live satisfied while frowned upon by Gods purest and Loveliest crea tures, would soon dash from them the damning bowl and take to our more healthy drink, \Vater, that gushes from the foun tains for their use at the bidding of their God. do with us then ladies, into this bat tle and though our progress may bo slow let ns make it sure by w'orking all the time •>nd working cheerfully and untiringly.— Time will prove thu our work has accom plished something. Then let us act. up to the language of one of America’s sweetest poe i s, when he said : “Oil thou lot’s ho u;> anil lining, With a heart for any fats; Still aohioviu.q still pursuing. Lcaru to labor and to wait.” Pennsylvania.—The accounts from Pennsylvania arc of the most encouraging character. Reliable corrspondents, who have taken pains to inform themselves, write that the supporters of Breckinridge and Lane arc increasing every day, while Douglas is rapidly losing ground. A Lou istovvn correspondent of the Washington Constitution says: “Tho Fqrqoy-Douglas Convention on tl)c 26th at Harrisburg was a most eontompt ible fizzle. I determined to know tho truth myself, and with that view went to Har risburg. You may rely Qfl if,it ‘yas a mis erable farce. Another Important Accession to Breckinridg.—lt is stated that the lion. Kennet Rayner, ot North Gurolina, one of the foremost men among the Southern opposition for twenty years, has declared for John C. Breckinridge, and 1 the equal ityof theStatcs.’/ He sees no other course to save the country from the dangers that now raenape iL Separating the Sheep from the Goats. Every intelligentman at the North knows full well that the Democratic party has for several years past been cursed with a set of half-and-half Abolitionists, calling them selves .Democrats. Tho present attitude j of parties is fast driving these men to their | natural allies, and relieving the Democrat-1 ic party of the incubus which their anti-; slavery principles imposed upon it. The disintegration of the Democratic party in I the North is going on rapidly. The lead- ] era seeing the hopelessness of the cause,: are going to Lincoln, while the rank and j file, with their eyes thus opened, will turn ! to the true Democracy. As an evidence \ of this, we have already heard of several Douglas papers hauling down the Douglas flag and running up that of Lincoln. The latest accession to the Black Republicans of this kind is the lowa State Reporter, a hitherto rampant Squatter paper. But we hear all over the North of Douglas men who arc going to vote for Lincoln in order to defeat Breckinridge. This is the game these free-soil squatters intend to play. — As an evidence of this, we quote the fol lowing paragraph from the Harrisburg (Da.) Telegraph, a “Republican” paper, which feels very happy over the prospect i of getting these traitors : The Stampede Commenced.—The ev idence of a determination on the part of the Douglas men to vote for Lincoln, and thus kill two birds with one stone,are mul tiplying on every hand. This is the case here and all over the country. Scores of men w r ho have for years acted with the democratic party, are daily ranging them selves under the banner of Lincoln and Hamlin, determined to crush out the south ern disunionists and the northern traitors who fraternize with them. It is conceded and justly, too, that every vote cast for Douglas in the free States is a vote for Breckinridge or old Joe Lane, just in the proportion that it is effective in carrying the election into Congress. The honest supporters of Mr. Douglas would a hundred times prefer the election of Lincoln* to that of either Breckinridge or old Joe Lane. This is the first bird to be killed, by all manner of means. On the other hand, a large number of them are burning with the desire to give a blow to the South in return for the dastardly treat ment they have received during the past three years, and particularly at the Charleston and Baltimore Convention. They see no other way half so effectual in accomplishing their revenge as voting Lincoln into the White House. The country is swarming with this class of Douglas men, and among them may be counted some of the most efficient politicians of that persuasion.” Let the men at the South who support Mr Douglas, read the above, and then vote for him if they can. The truth is, the Douglas leaders at the North are animated by ns determine.! a hatred of the South as the Black Republicans themselves, and it is incomprehensible how any true friend of southern institutions can be so blinded as not to see it.— Day-book. Whose Thunder is it?—The Albany Evening Journal, and the Atlas and Ar gus, are engaged in a controversy concern ing the respective claims of Lincoln and Douglas, to certain principles enunciated iu the speech of the latter on the occasion of his reception in Albany on Friday evening last. The Journal in noticing the speech, declared that it was precisely such a one as Lincoln would or could have made, had he been called out by his friends. It goes further and says that “they are the sentiments of the Republican party. To this rather impudent claim to doc trines for which Douglas is supposed to hold the patent right, the Atlas and Argus interposes the charge that the Republicans are “stealing Douglas’ thunder;” and that seeing the popularity of the non-interven tion doctrines upon which Mr Douglas is fighting the Presidential battle, they have deliberately set about “falsifying their own platform, and discarding its fundamental doctrine,” &c, See. Now this is a most singular controversy whatever view ivc may take of it. Eith er the Evening Journal is treating Lincoln very shabbily, by attempting to convince the Republicans that they may just as well vote for Douglas as for the Republican nominee, or else Mr. Douglas, in his theo ries and declared views, is running quite ; too near the brink of the precipice—the gulf which seperates National Democracy from Sectionalism, to be at all agreeable to his Democratic supporters. Wc are not quite sure which of these two propositions is nearest correct. The sincerity of the Seward leaders, in their j professed support of Lincoln, is quite open j to suspicion, and it is possible that they I would be willing to convince their friends , that there is really no difference between voting for the Republican nominee, and for the “Little Giant” himself. Tn fact, it is not improbable that their friendship for the latter is quite as sincere as for the former; and that they would rather see him in the Presidential Chair. If, on the other hand, it be true that Mr. Douglas is really advocating Republi can doctrines, it may become important for those of his supporters whostill distinguish a difference between the Democratic and , Republican parties, to examine their pcsi- j tion, and to 6ee “whither they are drifting” j in political affaire. Wc think wc can suggest a safe and ] sure remedy for all who do not care to be placed in a doubtful attitude politically.— i ft is, discarding both Lincoln and Douglas j and leaving to their respective adherents i to determine whose thunder it is now rever- j berates about the State capital, to heartily j upon the support of the National Democrat- j ic ticket, bearing tho names of Brcckin- j ridge and Lane. They will thus avoid all suspected affiliation with sectionalism, and cast their influence and their strength where, if at all, it can redound to tho suc cess of Democratic principles and policy. If it has como to pass that tho difference between Lincoln Republicanism and Doug las Democracy cannot be determined with out argument and controversy, it is time to discard botfi. Gen. Lane in Georgia. „ Tho Marietta Statesman says that Gen Lane has promised to visit Georgia, at an early day in the canvass, and be at Mari ette, as one of the first points. He has authorized Col. Phillips tq n>ake a publi cation o*’ the fact. 1 I “Save me from my friends.” It is said to be one of the most remark able evidences of the sagacity of rats that they always desert a sinking ship or fall ing house; that they have an instinct of ; the approaching disaster, and save them- j selves. That this instinct is not confined j to rats is evidenced in the person of Mr. | John Hickman of Pennsylvania. He was ; understood to be one of the great pillars of Douglasism. He was the most anti-Le- j compton of the anti-Lecoinptouites, and the most pro-squatter-sovereignty of the squatter-sovereigns. He was regarded as j one of the chief officers of “the Douglas j Democracy.” He Wns so; but is not. He ; has crossed the thin line that divides squat | ter sovereignty and Lincoluism, and, with that agility for which he is distinguished in all liis multifarious political suinersaults he is now to be found “in the thick” of the Black Republicans,—no longer as for- ! nicrly, on the outskirts. It must be that he thought it prudent to desert the falling house or the sinking ship of Douglasism, and consequently took refuge among the Republicans in the expectation of meeting there most of his recent political associates who are doubtless endowed with the same rat-like instinct. He ought, we think, to have “run” and said nothing. There was no necessity for his denunciation of his quandom chief.— There was no need to intimate the biting quality of the rat when he followed his prudential instinct. He might have ab stained from uttering the following : “* * * * This is a frightful hallu cination, but a natural one, when we take into consideration tho humiliating fact that all that devotion could do has been done, by those surrounding his person, to distort a true record, and to stamp a coun terfeit character for him on the public mind. Viewing him as one of the most unsafe and treacherous leaders , you will pardon me certain statements which it now seems necessary should be made and the correct ness of which I presume, will not be im pugned ” Washington Constitution. Hon Win. L. Yancy, in answer to a let ter from a committee inviting him to ad dress the citizens of Greenville, Alabama, upon the political issues of the day, among other interesting things, says : Mr. Bell lias always been opposed to an enforcement of the rights of the South on the subject of slavery. His record is full of evidence. 1. That he believes Congress bos the power to abolish slavery in the District of Columbia, and that it would be a great conservative measure to do so. 2. That if the Wilmot Proviso were to be attached to the Territorial bills, it would be right to sanction it. 6. That it would be “egregious folly” in a candidate for tho Presidency to declare in advance, whether or not he would veto the Wilmot Proviso. 4. That he would join the Black Re publicans in support of the Union against Southern resistance to such wrong as the passage of tho Wilmot Proviso and the election of a Black Republican. All these can be established by his speech on the Compromise Acts of 1850, in the U. S. Senate in July, 1850, and by bis speech on the bill abolishing the slave trade in the District of Columbia, in the same body, Sept. 18, 1850 and by bis speech in the same body on the Lecomp ton Constitution, on the 18th of March 1858. Such a man, representing a slave State, and daring to enter such sentiments would, were he a representative of Massa chusetts, be as much a Fresoiler as Wilson or Seward. There can be but one choice for the fair and honest people of the South to make among all these candidates, and that is Breckinridge and Lane. The Providence [lt. I.) Dost, which is a prominent organ of the Douglas party, and who is, therefore, sufferen to be iu close communion with the Georgia Constitution alist in their common support of their fa vorite, objects to Mr. Breckinridge and the party he represents upon very different grounds. Let the true, honest Democrats of both sections read and inwardly digest these things. , “Here, then, is Air. Breckinridge throw ing aside as unsound and unjust a resolu tion which denied to the people of the Territories the power to settle the question of slavery while living under a Territorial form of Government, and reporting a reso lution which denies to Congress any power over that question whether in State or Territory, except in the two specified ca ses, the foreign slave trade and the fugi • tive slave law. He has now lent himself j to a most unworthy trick and attempt to ! defeat the regular nominees of his party, by accepting the bolters’ nomination upon a platform which declares that Congress must interfere with the institution of sla very 1)1 the Territory, unj that an OUlis sion to do so by Congress would ho goo 1 ground for a dissolution of the Union. Is it reasonable to suppose that this dis crepcncy is attributable to Air. Breckin ridge, or those who oppose him ! Ihe Rhode Island Douglas paper wishes Mr. Breckinridge and his party to entertain views which lie knows will be hostile and I offensive to tho frccsoil sentiments of the Rhode Island Democracy. The Georgia j Douglas paper desires Mr. Breckinridge to j occupy a position which will have no oth jer merit than that he is no sounder than j Mr. Douglas upon tho great constitutional i question of equality among confederates.— i Your readers need only observo these things !to be convinced that the oppo-ition to | Breckinridge, North and South, is based i upon different reasons, and can find no (justification with that portion of tho Dc- I mocracy who are willing to stand by the equal righto of all as guarantied under a common constitution.

Ex-Governor Hunt, of New York, the leading supporter of Bell and Everett in’ that State, has had a falling out with Gree ley, of the Tribune, and has addressed that worthy a long letter against the Tribune s charge that Hunt refused to juoin the Re* publicans, “because of personal ambition, and that his support might be secured on certain conditions.” From this Hunt, which we find in the New York Bell and Everett organ, the Express, we select j the subjoined paragraphs, which go to show that Bell and Everett have heretofore and |do now stand high in the esteem and at j flections of those deadly enemies of the South, the B’ack Republicans, | Greeley and other John Brownites: “Nay, further: I fimly believe that a decided majority of the thoughtful and patriotic men of the Republican party would at this moment cordially hail the election to the Presidency of either John 1 Bell or Edward Everett, as the best solu : tion of the question which now agitates the I country. It is by no means impossible 1 that, in less than six months, even you will strenuously contend that it is thebounden duty of every Republican Representative to vote for Mr. Bell, and this reflection should admonish you to adopt a more ra tional tone of discussion.” “You now pretend that Mr. Bell is as objectionable as Mr. Breckinridge, How* is it possible that you can say this? What did you mean by the felicitious alliteration in your widely-circulated journal, of “Bell, Bates or Bolts,” as proper candidates —re- peated, if I mistake not, in your celebrated speech at Ossawottomie, in the very heart of Kansas? More than once within a twelve month you have placed the name of- Mr. Bell among those whom you would be 4 willing to accept, as a compromise candi- ■* date to unite tbe Opposition. You * know he voted against the repeal of the Missouri Compromise, under a heavy fire of denttn*- ciation from his own section and that he never favored any aggressions on the rights of the North. If it” were a choice between him and any one of his competitors, I be lieve lie would be perfered by a large ma jority of the people.” Douglas Then and Now—Squatter Som* eignty and the Higher Law. Gov. Johnson, in his late speech in this city, after having labored for an hour and read numerous documents to prove that non-intervention, as expounded by Mr. Douglas, was the true doctrine of the South to which all her statesmen, from Mr. Cal houn down, were fully committed—that the South had no rights in the Territories that she was willing to demand, and that she could not obtain such rights if she did demand them, refreshed hie authority by reading from Mr. Douglas speeches to prove that lie was not in lavor of i-quatter souereignty after all. In prof of sertion, he read from 31 r. Douglas speech of 22d Febuary last, as follows : “I hold that no such thing as sovereign power attaches to a Territory as a Territo ry. I hold that a Territory posseses what ever power it derives from the Constitution under the onranic act, and no more.. But Gov. Johnson had not heard from Mr. Douglas since he has started on his orand electioneering tour through New England. He had not read the recent speech of the Little Giant before the mem bers of the Abolition Sharpe’s Rifle Emi grant Aid Societies of Springfield, Mass., in which he said : “The dogma that the citizen of a Terri tory derives his power from Congress in. the old Tory idea that the citizens of the* original colonics derived their power. Croru the crown. Wc exploded this idea in the war of the revolution; and the principle of popular Sovereignty was born. ME HOLD, THEREFORE, THAT THE’ CITIZEN DOES NOT DERIV E- FOW EII FROM CONGRESS, FOR HE HAS ALREADY DERIVED IT FROM GOD ALMIGHTY.” If Mr. Douglas has not become a con vert to the “higher law doctrines ot W. 11. Seward, he at least derive* his authors ty for squatter sovereignty frouMi higher source than Congress. If Gov. Johnson expects to pull square with his freesoi! yoke-mate, he must make himself more familiar with his gaits—-he must at least be Fetter posted in regard to the Little Giant’s “higher law” heresies. A Beautiful Confession for a Ga. Editor. — Tift Editor of the Augusta Chronicle, a leading Rell-Douglas organ, and one of the loudest of the Opposition presses in urginig upon the Southern del egations in Charleston to insist upon a re cognition of the principles set forth m the majority platform, alluding to Mr. Everett s oft-proclaimed and never retracted aboli tion sentiment and opinions, says : “Well, we say very candidly, as we have said before, and as we are willing- to say a thousand times, if the saying of will benefit our neighbor’s nerves, upt those opinions of Mr. Everett arc erron©*- ous opinions. }\hetlier he entertains them still or not, tec are unable, to say, and u e are utterly careless whether he does or not ; because we never expect to find a candid ate with whose opinions wo entirely eo-in-, eidc.” Two months ago nothing short of the fullest recognition of the constitutional, rights and equality of the South, and an unqualified repudiation ot the doctrine ot squatter sovereignty, would suffice the ed itor of the Chronicle. Now he not only denounces all who maintain the doctrines he then advocated as disunionists, but openly proclaims that he is utterly careless whether his candidate for the Vice Presi dency holds abolition opinions or not.—n Will the honest opposition men of Georgia who are loyal to the South, permit them selves to be influenced ip. ft great political crisis like the present by an editor hftjd-. iqg such spntiments ?
