Mrs. Cluppius when called on to testify
in “Bardoll vs. Pickwick," “his feelings
wore too many for him." But not so
with tlio News. It puts no check upon
tho exuberance of its joy ovor what it
culls tho “overthrow ef Colb-ocracy." It
indulges In tho most unbounded oxul-
tution at tho thought that “tho notion
of tho self constituted December Con
vention which declared Howell Cobb to
bo tho first cholco of the Georgia Dem
ocracy for tho Presidency was properly
rebuked;” that a resolution was passed
requiring tlio delegates to Cimrloston to

II. Stevens, IIowoll Cobb cannot get i

Tho News then launches out into aw

ment like ours “all such corruptions will
be ferreted out and a terrible retribution
visited upon such dangerous enemies
to Republican principles, as those who
impair the purity of the ballot box
through selfish and other motives."—
We really think that tlio News is
cruel and unmerciful thus to make
a foot ball of nfitlb-nuinn.
Bringing up the rear of this hetero
geneous procession of Democratic pa
pers comes the Alliens llanner dmped in
mourning and trailing iu the dust.—
When wo remember bow often, in days

our deepest sympathies wo would not
ho nblo to suppress the smile which is
excited by its bearer's lugubrious conn*
tenanco and choking utterance. “With

*p«c’t and obedience to all /hmirr “will be surprised to learn that
nance thereof, and tile State of Georgia was afraid to ex
it-css an opinion on this subject." The
Planner thinks “the resolution w.ts voted
lown because It was coupled with our
ecotumendiiig lion, Howell Cobb to
the Charleston Coitvontinn." It char-1
ges that “the anti-Cobb fiction w.u» tie*. j
gbly organized before the usFcnibliiig
of tho Convention, led on by Hon. Sol
omon Cohen of .Savannah." It thinks
Mr. Stephen*’ friends have placed him
in a wrong position before tlio country
by producing the impression that Doug
las’ influence would lie thrown for him
in tho Charleston Convention. Then
in conclusion it alludes to one or two in
teresting facts that devclojied them
selves, tho first ofivhioh was that "Cher
okee county the residence of Gov. lirown vo
ted against tho strong Southern resolu
tions and it ivns pretty generally under
stood that it was through tho the influ
ence of the Governor himself." This
truly is a vory suspicious circumstance
and fully warrants tlio llanner in saying
that “if it turns out to bo true, it knows
one man, who litis been a warm friend
and supporter of iiis, whoso vote lie will
never get again."
After reading the comments wo hove
given, tlio conclusion of the whole mat
ter is plainly tliis: The March Conven
tion was called by tlio enemies of Gov.
Cobb, and for no other rcuson than be-
eauso lie was recommended to the (.’bar.
leston Convention by tlio December
Convention, and for no other purpose
than to defeat ids nomination for tho
Presidency; and notwithstanding How
ell Cobb is to day tho most popular man
not only in tlio Democratio party, but
in tlio State of Goorgia, yet by superior
management and dark intrigues the
will of the majority has boon utterly
disregarded and frustrated, to gratify
the resentment that lias been rankling
in the bosoms of Ids political enemies
for years. And to secure this end tho
Southern Eights winy par excellence of the
Democratic party havo ignored tho un
equivocal declaration of tlioso rights
by tho Supreme Court. “They had ra
ther bo wrong than Cobb should be Presi
dent." If demagogues and tricksters
aro permitted to rule in State Conven
tions, wo must oxpect them to rulo in
tlio Federal Government. If tlio peo

all such legislation subject to tlio Con

power to exoludo slavery by unfriendly

tlio following in tho Washington States
ami Union of Tuesday:
“Tho delegations from the States of
South Carolina, Mississippi and Ala
bama, hold two conferences tlio past
week, upon tiie subject of the projiosi-
tion of the Legislatures of those States
for a convention, for tho purpnso of
considering their relations to,tiio Union.
Tho conference resulted in* no notion,
and no expression of any opinion.—
Mississippi and Alabama have appointed
their commissioners, but South Carolina
has not. Tho convention of tlioso
three States will not bo held until after
tho Charleston and Chicago Conven
tions. It will probably bo the hist in
tho series of conventions prior to tiie
Presidential election, nnd perhaps it
may prescribe a courso to he pursued by
tlioso States nnd swell others us may ul
timately unitn with them in caso tlio
Chicago nominee should he elected
President.
