Tho Resolutions of tho Floyd Dcraoc-
* . nicy. :
Wo regrot that wo wpro not ablo on
Thursduy to publish In full tho.procood*
ings of tho Democratic meeting on
Tuesday, for the information of tho Demde.
racy of the Ojunty. Wo had wrltteu an
extended and particular account of
tliont, and placod it in tho hands of tho
cpmpositor, bub when wo procured u^
copy of tho resolutions wo iound that
tho unocoupied spaco in our columns
would nob contain thorn both. Wo
worn therefore compelled to writo hasti
ly tho briof report which wo published,
witli only a single remark.
Wo now wish to say a few words about
tho resolutions, which wero drafted by
Col. S. Fouoho' tho chairman of tho
committee. They contain in few words
nu unanswerable nrgumont in favor of
tho position taken by tho entire South,
and'a complete' vindication of tho
courso of tlio Southern delegates, who
withdrew from tho Charleston Conven
tion.
Thoy sot out with tho axiom, “That
tho protection of all tho rights, both of
person nml property* of all citizens is
* lid solo and pgitbnat* purposo for which
all governments nro instituted,’** This
proposition is older that)' nny govern*
incut; for it wns tho necessity Hint men
felt for projection Avhiohflrst drew them
together to form societies, nml ndopt
laws, or “rules of human action” to gov
orn tlionl hi thoh* intercourse nml moto
out justice to tho weak ns well ns tho
strong. This thou is. u complete refu
tation of tho silly objection raised by
timid Southern men against tho asser
tion of our right to Congressional pro
tection, namely; that if wo claim tho
right of Congress to protect, wo at tho
sainO timo ootioodo tho right to destroy.
In other words, when wo call upon tho
government to carry out- tho vary end
for which it was instituted, wo confer
upon it tho right to do just tho rovorso,
nml dofont that olid,
But wo fear wo will insult tho intelli*
gchco of our readers by dwelling longer
upon such a plain and common senna
proposition.
Tlio next resolution but declares it
tho duty of our Government to protect
vs everywhere; especially in tl.o T
i*UoriG3, our common property.
Tho third resolution asserts tlio fact
that a majority of thbpooplo in tlio free
States nro endeavoring to .got control
of tlio government for “the purpose of
withholding this protection from lhre>
thousand millions of our property,” from
lilch it derives nioro than two thirds
of tlio revenues necessary for its admin
istration in order to afford us that very
ovtcclloM,
Tim fourth resolution folk
lirql consequence, that the demnnd
made by tho Southern delegates to th<
Charleston Convention, Gqit this right
to protection should be nt least recog
nised, “wns highly expedient,
hie and just.”
■Th6 fifth resolution •states • that tho
Ofuaul of sixteen free titafa to make this
recognition nrtcodby .u.yefltech States
teen of which own the proporty. which
is in jeopardy—“gives painful evidence
that a majority of tlio delegates from
tlioso freo States sympathise with tho
Black Republicans in their unrelent
ing hostility to our constitutional
ighls.”
Theso propositions being true, mul
thoy follow «s logically ns a sequel;
over tallowed a promiso, tiicn tlio • Ddm
ocratio party and tlio whole Southern
pcoplo cannot do otherwise than accord
to tlio Southern delegates who withdrew
from tlio Charleston Convention the
comriiomlation contained in tho sixth
resolution—that their conduct

Mr. Torliuno said, let them go. if they

think otherwise, only proves tlio fact
that with thorn tlio Democratic parly is the

Nono of our Party’s Funeral
Tho ingratitudo manifested by soma
of tlio Democratic proas townrds tlioso
of tho Opposition who occasionally
show a disposition to condolo witli
thorn in their misfortunes, reminds us
of tho anoedolo of tlio little boy follow
ing his fathers corpso to tlio gravo.
Anothor urchin,whoso heart was touched
with- sympathy, joiuod him in his la-
montatlons and weeping, when tlio
littlo follow ceased liis blubboilng for
momont and turning upon tho intruder,
said sharply, “You go 'long way Irom
here, ‘taint none o’ your Da's funeral.”
It is truo wo aro not wooping bocauso
of tho death of Democracy. Wo con
sider it necessary to tho very existence
of tlio goYornraont. But wo have prin
ciples at stako. Tlio political doctrines
contained in tho majority platform
rqjeotod at Charleston, wero first pro
mulgated and advocated in Georgia by
tho Opposition party. In 1859 tlio
Democratic candidates for Congress
were forced to adopt thorn or bo defeat,
od.. Tlio Southern people, with tho
oxcoption of a fow Douglasites, have
laid them down ,os tho ultimatum
twcon freosoilism and Southern equal
ity. Tlio Southern delegations.prosont-
od them at Charleston as the only
platform thoy could, consistently with
honor and interest.accopt. Tlio North
ern Squatters refused to grant it, and
an oilort is now being iiiade by fyidhcr
ic Republican Party and Squatter
Sovereignty.
While tlio Chicago Convention wns in
session it was announced upon authori
ty of tho telegraph that that body had
epudiated .Squatter Sovereignty. This
caused us some Burprum, for although
know that tho Republicans declared
that tlio normal condition of all tho
territory of the United States was that
of freodom,” Btlll wo wero somewhat
puzzled to know why thoy should object
a Territorial Logislaturo passing a
law tho more eUbotually to oxoludo sla*
cry. Wo therefore looked with somo
eagerness for tlio plutform. Wo hero
givo the olauso upon this subject:
Tenth, That in their recent vetoes hy
thoir fvdural governors of tho noLsof the
Logislaturo of Kansas and Nebraska,
prohibiting slavory in tlioso Territories,
wo find a practical illustration of tho
boasted Do moo ratio principles of non
intervention and popular sovereignty,
embodied in tlio Knnsus nnd Nebraska
bill, and a denunciation of (he decep
tion aud fraud involved therein.
it is truo tho name of lion-intervention
and popular or Squatter Sovereignty,
denounced, but not tlio principle
itself. It is tlio “vetoes of tho federal
governors of tlio acts of tlio Territorial
Legislatures prohibiting slavery,” to
liiqli they object, and not tlio powor
assumed by tlio Legislature to pass tlioso
nuts, which was tho “practical illustra
tion” of Squafter Sovereignty. Had
Mr. Douglas been President of tho Uni
ted States instead of Mr. Buchanan, his
'federal governors” would havo sanc
tioned in?toad ot vetoing tluiso Territo
rial law, and tho Black Republican par-
instead of condemning would liavo

non-intervention nnd populur sover

[For tlio Romo Courier.]
Messrs. /‘Alitor* In looking ovor tho
Southerner if? Advertiser^ of tho 24th List.,
T noUco that DivWoUbrd, has given on.
r a short account of tho Democratic
mooting of Tuesday Inst, nnd did.vnot
publish the proceedings, ns requested by
tlio unanimous voieoof tho Convention.
The l)r. being entirely opposed to tlio
proceedings, I prosume; ho was fearful
that tlio notion of Old Floyd would
havo sonto efFect on tlioso counties tluit
havo not yet appointed their delegates
Millcdgevillo. Tlio Dr. and his
friends aro in a hopeless minority in
Floyd, and feel very uncomfortable ‘ at
direction matlors arc taking. Tho
is entirely mistaken as to tlio mim-
bor vqting to sustain the action of tlio
ocoding delegations from tho Charles
ton Convention. I To says that there
was only 15 or 20, when there was, in
fact, nt lonsfOO prosent, who fully sus
tained tlioso of tho Georgia delegation
that withdrew iYora tlio Charleston Con
vention. Tlio Jir. says again, that tliero
somo division among tho delegates
appointed to represont Floyd in tho
Convention at Milledgavlllo. Tljnt tliero
mny be no inisundorstandlng, ns to how
tho Democracy of Floyd stands, I will
give tlio names of tho dologatos ap
pointed, nnd all, with ono exception, In
favor of going to Richmond; tlioy aro as
follows: Cel. J. Walters, Col. >S. Fouclio,

justify and sustain tho seceding
delegates, and in favor of going to Rich
mond—with tho exception of Col. Wat

will havo a good time in'their oftbrts to
procure tho nomination of Mr. Douglas.
Hois ill such n stress of wcathor that

Southerner <t> Advertiser, 2-R/i inst.
For tlio information of the people
“hero and, hereabouts,” wo publish .the
resolutions upon this subject which
were “unanimously adopted?' at tho Demo
cratic mooting in Gilmer.
Resolved, 1st. That we hoartilly # ap
prove tho bold, honest and_ putriotu
course of our delegates iii sustaining
tho majority report, uml therein witli
drawing from the Convention, upon tb
adoption of tho minority report.
Resolved, 2d. That wo regard it tii
imperative duty of the Soulliern D.
mocraey to insist upon the platform re
ported hy Mr. Avery of North Carolina,
as unequivocally recognizing ottr rights,
and pledging the party to protect our
property, of every description and na
litre, wherever tho constitutional au
thority of ;ho govorninont extends.
Resolved, 3rd, That il is equally im
portant to insist upon tho. nomination
of a sound man, of known integrity,
ahd whose past history will afford a sure
guarantee,.that the Constitution will bo
faithfully administered, and the . equal
rights of every section presorvod aud
protected.
Resolved, 4th. That tho doctrine of
squat tor sovereignty as ,advocated by
Stephen A. Douglas, is nnti-Demoeratie,
contrary to tlio Died - Scott decision,
inimical to the dearest interests of tlio
.Smith, and.in violntiou-of the Constitu

On tho 22clof April Lima nnd Callao

And lovo becomes immortal.

Where nothing beautiful can over fade,
But blooms Tor ayo, eternal.

Unlocked by unseen lingers.
