Wo presumo that like 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 voto as unit in that body, and that majority of them lining for Aloxandcr II. Stevens, IIowoll Cobb cannot get i single vote. Tho News then launches out into aw fui denunciations against “one man powor;” spoaksof tlio “groat Autocrat as fallen ;’’ “tho Democracy of Goorgia have demolished his throne and shut tered tlio sooptro of his powercon gratulatcs tlio country that no sucli “in fluences ns ho hud been accustom ed to wield can again bo brought to bear in his behalf; tlio cohesive power of public plunder can no longer hold his dissolving cohorts together," and ill though“usubtle, intriguing and demago- ghicnl politician may tor awhile feed hi: faithful satellites with official pap am tin his power," yot in a govern 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 gone by, it has been triumphantly thrown to the breeze after bard fought battles for IIowoll Cobh in tlio gallant old Sixth, it is truly a very sad spootu* clo. Wore it not that this thought stirs up 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 sorrow he writes that a Convention of tlio Democratic party of Georgia voted down resolutions taking high .Southern ground upon the territorial question, tho only vital question now before the country," and liesays the readers of tlio POLITICAL MEETING AT CA8B- V1LLE, TO BE HELD ON THE FlllST TUESDAY IN APRIL.

If there over was a time when honest and true men should exert themselves for their country's good that time is now when selfish politicians aro defeating tlio will of tlio people in State Conven tions and deceiving them with double meaning national platforms, but the citizen* of Floyd county come out on next Tuesday and send delegates to Milledgevillu who will carry out their views and take such steps ns will tend to establish constitutional principles in the government of tho country, and protect our property from tlio doctrines of the Wilmot Proviso and unfriendly territorial hegi-dation. * of the constittiled judi- li|i!i|s of the hind, are requested |i» their mqioctivo counties, cticahlc, and appoint dole- late Convention, to he held Etv of Millcdgcviilo, on Weducs- ‘ lay of May next, for the taking such action as •tned expedient, in refer- ■ the appioaching Presidential Tiik Committee. •s, throughout tlio State, will r by giving the above a irt ions t-Witwlm.

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 ple will submit to ono they will submit to the oilier, and there is no help for Dmik of the Empire State* Tliis institution, which, since it chartered, Ims done littlo or no bank ing business at all, has recently pi into the hand-* of a now company, will he entirely re-organized and estab lished upon a solid basis of $200,000 cash capital.

Skyrockets among Pigeons.—A few days since, while tho wild pigeons w flying in immense numbu s ovor i city (says the Cleveland Phiindcalcr.) Mr. George N. Baker, proprietor of the pyrotechnic establishment at the corner of Perry and Superior streets, thought lie would see what effect tlio fireworks would have upon tlio feathered tribe, and upon trial discovered a new field for sporting gentlemen to humor their fancy. J ust as a largo flock approached, lie sunt hissing through their midst a half dozen heavy rockets, producing u wild irrepressible consternation. At tho vast flock would change its i. dividing in all directions, ami in many instances great numbers would cornu to tiie ground and (flight, others would reverse their course, while the greater number would comedown with in a few yards of the ground, wandering about iu will) confusion. One heavy rocket bursting just he alth a large Hock, and shooting out its hundred fiery, hissing serpents, had the effect to send tlio whole brood flying upward until it was lost to tlio sight.— In many instances, large numbers, living in wild confusion to the earth, ivcro eapturod by boys in the neighbor hood. ? Association of Thieves.—Wo learn that a gentleman in Walk nr coun ty, Ga., had iiis coat stolen from hint by some person or persons entering his house forcibly by night. There was al»out$500 in cash in bis coat pocket.— A few da) s afterwards he happened at a grocery in the lower end of tlio county, where he discovered that the grocor was wearing his stolen coat. lie nrrosted him and carried him to his oivn house, when tho grocer promised to pay the money, and helms Imd his grocery dis posed of uud paid most of the money. The grocer mnnifc.-t* much fear lest his associates should kill him when lie leaves tho protection of his victim.
