HhJRSDAY MORNING, May 31.
fading matter on every
tOK OF THI8 PATER.
Rather Haaplcloai.
Hr. Douglas In his lata spoeeh In the
ptte, seems to have found Georgia,
j useful, as authority to sustain hit
Urine of non-lnterrentlon. He al
lies to the notion of tha Democracy
fthls 8tate oltener than any other—
loRenthat It excites the suspicion
L there Is some special design In It.
lie first quotes the resolutions .flop-
J by tho Domoeratio State Convou-
|i in 1H47, and mentions the names
f F. II. Cone, E. W. Chastain, W. J.
Wton, James Jackson aud L. Q. C.
nnrj among those ''gentlemen, emi-
ht for ahllity, eminent for their devo-
i to .Southern ffeliU, eminent for
sir position In the Democratic party,
, were present and concurred in the
dings."
|le next alludes to "tho battle that
*1 fiercely and savagely" in Ooor-
f in 1850 over the compromise mens*
s; told Mr. Toombs ho was “denoun-
tssasubmissionlst because he sul
lied the principles of non-interven-
' os contained in that compromise'
1 that Georgia decided in favor of
[•■by about twenty ono thousand mv
fity."
Again, ho quotes the act of the floor-
i Legislature passed in 1854, approv-
j tho principles of tho Kansas Nebras-
L Bill. He dwelt upon this at some
[igthand sold he was "willing to taka
i preamble and resolutions adopted
} the State of Georgia in 1854, without
i dotting of an 1, or tho crossing of a l
i declare it to be tha Democratic phi t-
.m."
Towards tho conclusion of his speech,
| bestows a hnndsomo culogium upon
[lie of Georgia's gifted sous; ono of
a brightest intellects that tills nation
sever produced; one of tho most
uful public man ; one whoso retire-
lent from among ttr created universal
grot throughout tho wliolo country."
j of course meant Alexander llumil-
n Stephens, than whom, lie says, “no
km in the House of Representatives
lorleil nioro power and influence in
paring thepossago of the Kansas bill."
r then asks Senator Pugh to read at
bigth Mr. Stephens' letter to tho Mn-
tn Committee, and pronounces it* "*
Vic, veritable history of tho compro-
|Uc measures of 1850, and of tho Kan*
^-Nebraska bill.”
[This signal honor Mr. Douglas has
kid to Georgia and, *'0110 of her most
If tod sons," in his long spoeeh in tiio
tnited States Senate, tve repeat, ap-
1 to us to liuvo m design in it.
•oks to Georgia confidently for aid j ho
}tonds in tho first instance that "one
1 the brightest intellects that this nn*
on has ever produced,” shall bo second
|>none but himself in this government,
1 the event of his securing tho nomi
[stion at Baltimore; and failing in this,
2 shall be. JlrsL
[ It is nccessory therefore lo put Geor*
right upon tho record; to strength-
t his friend hero, aud silence his one*
\ Thin la our conclusion, lime will
s whether it bo correct,
Nv. Douglas on the Ultimatum.
[ Mr. Douglas in ill* recent speech in
Senate thus discourses upon the
xmesseo ^solution," offered by the
r York delegation to tho seceding
•tea, provided they will come to Bul«
wore and accept it:
[ The resolution contains, in my opin-
pn, two truisms, aud fairly considered,
10 man can question them. They nro,
Irst, that every citizen of tho United
States lias an equal right in the Torri-
(tries; that whatever right tho citizen
f one State has, may he epjoyed by the
litaens of all the State*; that what*
nrer property tho citizen of one State
iay carry there, tho citizens of all tho
toten may carry; and 011 wlwtcvor
erms the citizens of one State can hold
It and have it protected, the citizens of
|11 States can hold it and have it pro*
«tcd, without deciding what tho right
s which still remains for decision.—
fclio second proposition is, that a, right
bf person or property secured by tho
institution cannot be taken away
hither by act of Congress or ot the Ter
ritorial Legislature. Who evor dreamed
Uiat either Congress or a Territorial
gisUture, or any other legislative
uy on earth, could destroy or impair
bny right guaranteed or secured by the
institution ? No man that I know of.
This resolution leaves the some point
ppen that remains open for tho courts
tinder the Cincinnati platform and
under the Knnsas-Nebraska bill. My
objection is, that it bears ujwn its face the
tmence that it isto be construed in tioo oppo
site ways in the differ tut sections of the
Union. I want no double dealing or double
instruction."
Will this Tennessee resolution bo any
better than tho Cincinnati platform ?*
Hr. Douglas says he can fully endorse
It, and his only oltfection is that it is
intended to deceive. Its adoption would
appear to harmonise all conflicting
Opinions in tiie Democratic party, when
pn fact it leaves tho distracting question
fight where the Cincinnati platform
placed it. Tho party wont before the
jeountry with this last document, agree
ing to disagree; but upon this new
plank they would pretend to agree, when
1 reality they would bo no nearer
[reconciliation than before. In the
Iformer there was some appearance, at
[least,of honesty; in the latter there will
[be conclusive evidence of dishonesty.
Mr. Douglas says lie "wants no double
[dealing or double construction.” Do
[Southern Democrats want it for tho
| purpose of once more getting into tho
Douglas-fold T Woit until tho 18th of
[ Juno and wo will know.
Revival.—A series of religious mcet-
j >ngs hovo boon in progress in the Bap-
I tiat Church in this place for tho last ten
Jays. Several conversions hove been
the result, and many more are asking
l an interest In the prayers of the people
of God. Morning and night the con-
j gregations are large, aud the earnest*
1 ness and seriousness which pervade
them, give Indications that a great and
good work is being performed in this
community.
A good One.
When the Senate Bill relative to tho
disposition of the "Wildfiro Africans,”
was taken up in the House of Repre
sentatives, Col. Underwood moved as
an amendment,, that thoy bo sold In
Florida, or set free in Massachusetts.
Tho New York Express makes tho
following comment r
Cruel suggestion that, of Mr. Under
wood, of Georgia, In Congress, to have
tho "Wildfire^negroes sot freo in Mas*
saehusotts. Cruel, because [don’t Un
derwood know?] Abolitioufsin down
there has no real "sympathy” for that
class of unfortunates. If those "Wild*
flro” negroes could only got somebody
to own them first, and then get stolen
from that owner afterwards, the feel,
ings of Massachusetts Abolitionism
would bo touched to tho quick,—but
not otherwise.
ISrTlio Mobile Jlegistcr, the Douglas
organ in Alabama, whioh is exerting
Itself to get up a bogus Convention at
Selma, to send Squatter delegates to
tho Douglas Ratification meeting In
Baltimore next June, thus speaks of the
address of the eighteen members of Con
gress. Wo commend what It says (0 the
Georgia signors:
We shore witli tho Mercury its con
tempt for that precious Congressional
! mpor, calling on the secedcrs to return
o the Baltimore Convention. It is the
nakedcst, tho flimsiest and the absurd-
cat publio documents ever yet signed
by eighteen men fit to till seats in Con-
gross.
tSJ^Tho New York Express thus
speaks of tho "ultimatum of the South
—tho Olivo Branch held out to seced
ing delegates, and which thoy are going
to Baltimore to accept:
The Georgia Delegation sny, through
their Chairman, that the lion. Culub
Cushing told them, tho Platform bush
ness was closed, when they ran ott*,—
but thoy now loam that the job is not
complete, and that a new plank can In
put in. Now York, they say, ottered 11
plank, which tiie Georgia Delegation is
willing to take. That plank (the Ten
nessee one) is os fallows:
Resohrd, Tliot tlio citizens of tiie Uni
ted States have ail equal right to wottlo
with their property in the Territories of
the United States, and that under the
Incision of the Supremo Court of the
United States, which we recognize us
the correct ox position of the Constitu-
tionof tho United States, neither tho
right of persons nor property can bo
destroyed or intpaird by Congrc sional
or Territorial legislation.
Now this plank is about as clear as
Georgia pitch pine,—but not linlf ns
luminous,—for nolnxly doubts tiie right
of the citizens of tho United States to
sottlo with their I'norEHTV in all the
Territories; cr, that Territorial Legisla
tures cannot destroy property,—but
1st, Are negroes persons or proper
ty ?
2d. Or, ore they mixed persons and
property.
3d. Or, is their "service" only proper
ty, and tuoir persons (bodies) like other
le’s persons or bodies,
tere is the greatest possible chance
for metaphysics, ethics, ethnology,
gcncology, mythology, theology, and all
the other its and ola/irs under a Hcsohi
lion like this. It eulipses even the Cin
cinnati enigma in lucidity, and obseuri

Sixnrt.Ait Advk.vtcrk.—The Peters
burg (Va.) Express relates the follow
lug occurrence:
Mr. Ueorge T. Williams was riding
out to the city from Cliostertield, in a
barouch, having iu iiis )>08scssioq, col
lections to tho amount of some $250,
when within three miles of tho corpo
ration, n woman, appearing much fa
tigued and thoroughly drenched with
nun, hailed him and asked to be taken
intO'tho vehicle. Glud to do so good a
service to tho )»oor creature, he consent
ed. 8he handed him her basket, and
was about to step in, when Mr. Williams
discovered that her face was not alto
gether feminine, and that her ieet, ns
"slio" hoisted her dress, wero encased
in tiie rather indelicate symbols of mas
culinity,—boots, and of n heavy calibre,
lie had the presence of mind to drop
his whip, aud requested the pretended
lady to pick it up for him, and taking
advantage of her position to give the
horse a starting jerk, went oil' at u ra
pid speed. On reaching homo he was
not a little surprised to find tho basket
contained n pair of loaded pistols and
l>o\vio knifo. They wore all exhibited
at our office on yesterday.
Jest* upon Scripture*
It is very common with some persons*
saysAhe Christian Messenger, to ralsoji
laugh by moans of some ludlorous story
connected with a text ot Scripturo.--
Sometime* it is a ploy upon words, a
pun; at other times a blunder; and not
seldom, a downright impiety. What
ever bo its form, oven when lightest, it
is no venial ottenco, leading, as it doos,
to profane contempt of Goa’s word.—
Thoso who practise this have never been
celebrated for genuino wit. Tho laugh
ter which they call forth is provoked
sorely by the unexpected contrast bo-
tween the solemn words of Soripturo
and somo droll idea. There is no real
wit in tho cose; and tho dullost now
in society are most remarkable
these contempts.
Tho evils arising from this practice
nro greater than appear at first. It
leads m general, to Irrevercnco for .Script
uro. No man would jest with the dying
words of his falhor and his mother; yet
the words of God are quite as solemn.—
When wo have heard a comic or vulgar
tale connected with a text of Scripturo,
such Is tho power of association, that wo
never hear tho text afterwards without
thinking of the jest. Tho efl'oct of tills
is obvious. He who is much engaged
in tills 'kind of false wit will come at
length to have a large portion of Iloly
Scripture spot tod over by ids unholy
fancy.
The Baltimore American says j—Tho
United States Senate yesterday brought
tiie prolonged debate unon the resolu
tions reported by Mr. Davis, to
a conclusion, and finally, by a vote of
thirty-sixtoiiintecn,ndoptod them ns an
nuthoritntlvo exposition of the doctrine
ol tho Democratic party on thosulject of
Congressional anu Territorial power
over tho subject of slavery. The fourth,
fifth and sixth resolution of the sories,
which relate directly to tho question
which is at present in Issue botween
the two wings of tho Democratic party,
read ns follows:
Resolved, That neither Congress nor a
Territorial Legislature, whether by di
rect legislation, or legislation of nn In
direct and unfriendly character, possets
power to annul or impair thoconstitu-
tioal right ol any citizens of tho United
States to lake his slave property into
the common Territories, ami thoro hold
and oiyoy tlio samo while tho territorial
condition remains.
VhWcW, That if experience should at
nn.v time prove that the judicial and ex
ecutive authority do not possess means
to insure adequate protection to consti
tutional rights in a Territory, and if the.
territorial government should fail or
refuse to provide tho necessary remedies
for that purposo, it will bo tho duty of
Congress to apply such deficiency.

Tiie Treaties.—The Washington cor

solved, outsido of caucus action, to ap
prove tho Mexican, Nicaraguan, nnd

stituting for all stipulations of right of
way from those States, in consideration
of money payments, a provision guaran
teeing ana protecting their respective
transits, in return for perfect freodem of
transit for the government of tiie Uni
ted States and its citizens. Tlio provis
ions of the now treaty with Honduras
are acceptable to tho Senators alluded
to, and they nro willing to approve tho

The Republicans anu tiif. Washing

of» State when fanning n now consti
tution, decide for themselves whether
slavery as a domestic institution, shall
bo maintained or prohibited within
tlielr jurisdiction : and "they shall ho
received into the Union with or without
slavery, a* their constitution may pre
scribe at the time of their admission."
Tiie adoption or those resolutions, by
a nearly full vote of ail the Democratic
Senators, will iucrcasH tiie difficulty of
a satisfactory settlement of tho question
hy tho National Convention which
meets here next month. Tho resolu
tions us they stand uro a semi-official
expression of tiie faith of tho party
which that Convention cannot rafely
ignore, and yet, which tho majority of
its members from tho Freo States dare
not adopt without tacitly accepting an
utterduleat in the Presidential contest.
Good “Georgia Doctrine.**
In a recent speech in Congress (for a
copy of which wo ure indebted to Hon.
David Clopton, made by Mon. Mr. Har
deman, that gentleman enunciated the
great principle for which tho South
contends, in a very neat, form, in
reply to Mr. Montgomery as follows:
Mr. Montgomery.—Will the gentle
man from Georgia yield to mo a mo
ment ?
Mr. Hardeman.—If l have misrepre
sented the position of the gentlomun, I
will yield to him.
Mr. Montgomery.—No sir, you have
not misrepresented mo; but I want to
give you some Georgia doctrine.
Mr. Hardeman.—Well, I willgivoyou
tho Georgia doctrine of the American
party aud I speak only for them, and that
is this: Tliut Congress has no power to
legislate upon the subject of Slavery in
tiie Territories, either to establish or
to legislate upon tho subject at all. ex
cept for its protection where it legally
exists. And believing tliut, I repudiate
the doctrine, come from what quarter
it may, tliut, because we can a legislate
for our protection, we can legislate for
the destruction of a right. That is
Georgia uoctriuo, and by that doctrine
l am willing to stand to-day.
Mr. Hardeman is, ivo believe ono of
the youngest men in Congress, and
ranks high among tho States Rights Op

The Audnlusian Women.
A correspondent of tho Now York
Host, writing from Spin, gives tiie fol
lowing graph ie description of the dark-
»yed maidens of Anualusia:
Toward the close of a delightful day’s
sight-seeing, l wundered into tho prin

eyed in a ideas whose charms, as sung by
Byron, had beon haunting my brain
over since my arrival. Tho evening

Departed this life, in Romo, Go., on
Sabbath the 29th of April 1860, Mrs,
Viroi.nia Scott, wife of Mr. Dunlap
Soott, ami daughtor of Mr. Thomas
Wray, late of Athens, Ga.
Most unexpected was the death of this
young wife, nnd mot her, and only daugh
ter. Her sun hath gono down in the
morning. When we looked for life,
death came. She had much to attach
her to life; tho past was full of pleasant
memories, and the ftiture bright with
buoyant hopes.
She had boon happy In.the home of
childhood and youth t happy in her
school-days, for her diligence had boon
rowardod with tho highest honor of
horclas*. She was happy in the affections
of a devoted husband, nnd In the cares
of her infant children. And she was a
happy member of tho church nnd com
munity, in whioh she had mado a new
homo. And during a short rosidonoo
she made impressions of her sincere
pioty and decidod character, whioh will
not be easily erased. Alas l how sad tlio
mission ot tho King of terrors, in tak
ing from us, our (riond nnd sister. How
sad tho grief of him, whose heart nnd
home nro desolate; how sad the lot of
those little ones, who will nevor know a
mother’s love-^"A mother lost in child
hood grievci the heart from day to day.”
How sad that widowed mother, doubly
stricken in the loss of suoh a daughter,
when the foot-prints of tho mourners,
still lingered around the fresh grave of a
beloved husband. To all, more sad,
thnn to her who lias been cidled homo
to God—our loss has been her eternal
gain l
in early youth she gave hor heart to
Christ, nnd was received by a venerable
raster of Athens, into tho communion
of the Presbyterian Church?—she de
ferred not tlio great duty of life, to its
uncertain closing hours. Although on-
turagod to hope for restoration, she
spoke of her death, and during her last
day, manifested an unearthly affection
and goutloness nnd humility. Thus the
light of heaven seemed to shine through
tlio dark valley, to cheer her departing
spirit, nnd bcokon her on to that rest
which remnineth to the pooplo of God
Furcwell! our friond, departed worth, fare
well !
On thoo, the fond, the tender thought

An Interestin'!! Discovery, of which
particulars will, no doubt, shortly bo

y made in Egypt, in tlio neighborhood
of tho Groat Pyramid by the celebrated
archeologist, M. Augusta Mnrriotte. It

who is supposed to havo been tho con
structor of the Great Pyramid, and who
lived about 3,COO years before Christ.—
The immonso edifice is built of solid

Seating myself near a beautiful loun-
tain, 1 watched tlio light forms as they

tween them and those that moved in
tho land beyond the sea. In this

where, disappointed. Beautiful faces l
raiv, it is true, but they wero exceptions
to tho moss beheld. In my judgment,
t'ie American woman, ns a general
thing'ls os superior to tho vaunted
Andalusian in personal ns site certainly
is in mental attractions, I do not boar
this testimony to Hatter, (i believe they
have too much good sense to be vuin,)
but because it is true. Yet many
charms has tho Spanish maiden which
forcibly arrest tho attention
strangers Hor piquant head-dress,
half-ruveulitu’, halt-concealing her
wealth of glassy hair; her freo, erect
carriage, and graceful, gazclle-liko step,
all combine to invest her with interest
ns deep us characteristic. Manners,
too, has she essentially her own. She
gives not her arm to escort in promen
ade ; site extends not her hand to v
gentleman acquaintance in greeting,
ninl ho who woes her must breathe ins
sighs through the lattice of her cham
ber. She is foud of music; dancing is
u second nature, nnd life and grace nro
to every motion. She dislikes books or
study ; she cares but littlol’or literature
of any description ; her pleasure is in
