— Cjjc $0tnc (faricr. M. I) WI NELL, Editor. GEO. T. STOVALL, Associate Eiutcr. ROME, GA. TU’SDAY MORNING, Juno 13. The English Language n l'utlurc. So far as Democratic Platforms nro t-on cor nod, It Is now a settled fact, that the English lunguago Is incapable of conveying a siuiplo Idea, and all efforts to explain tho meaning attempted to bo convoyed but sorvo to mystify and ten* dor it moro ambiguous. In our last issue wo published tho resolution upon tho subject of Slavery in tho Territories, presented by tho mi nority, to tho Into Milledgovillo Conven tion, rejected by that convention and aftorwurds adopted by theballotting Squat tors. It is briefly, that slaves are property ; that a slaveholder has tho right to settlo in tho Territories with his property; that noithor tho' Gonoral Government, nor any Territorial Gov ernment can dostroy or impair that right, and “that prox>orty of all kinds, rhivcs as well as any othor species of property, in tho •territories, stanQ upon tho same equal and broad Constitution al basis, and subject to like principles of recognition and protection In the legit la- five, judicial and oxccutlvo departments of tho government.” Oiir knowledge of tho English langu age must bo very deficient, if this re solution, in tho only legitimate mean ing of tho terms omployod, is not iden tical with tho majority platform to- jeptod at Charleston, and ndopted by tho Constitutional Union Party of Geor gia, on the 2nd day of May last, and by tho Domocrntio Convention recently hold in MiHedgevillo. Tho most violent upponontof Squatter Sovereignty, and most zealous advocato of Congressional protection would not hesitate to ondorse i t. It says In unmistakably plain term that slave property in the territories is sub- ■vet to protection in the legislative detriment ./ the government, which moans simply ihat tho slaveholder Is entitled to Con- grcssional wotodion. For how can lie bo protected by the legislative drjiartment of ho fiovornmont except by tho enaot- i.icnt of laws by Congress for this pur- 1 Vet, in tho face of all this, Ex-flov. .Johnson, tho chnirinnn of tho commit tal* which roported this resolution, and .*i die declared, its anther, insulU tho muion souse of thepooplo of Georgia i . sayingit means no such thing. In an address to tho Domocrntio par ty of Georgia, by tho committee, of which ho was chairman, appointed by tho bolter's convention at MiHedgevillo, alluding to the minority report, ho uses tho following lnngungo:] “It ignored the proposition on which tho majority insisted, of demanding Congressional Intervention for tho pro tection of slavery in tho Territories, bo- cause wo considered such a demand a palpablo violation of our sottlod policy of non-intoryontion—tho policy de manded by tho South, agreed to by tho North, amlftccopted by all parlies as a permanent settlomont of tho slavery agitation, its removal from tho halls of Congress and tho political arena, and its submission to tho froo action of tho people of tho territories, undortho gen- «*rai principles of tho Constitution of tho unitou States.” In his speech in tho Convention, tvhon asked what was meant by legisla tive protection in tho report—Gov. John son replied, thoro was no such proposi tion in tho minority report, and ho wnnted everybody to understand that ho, tho mnkor, so construed it. “What then did it mean ? It meant nothing at all. Tho majority report contained tho snmo principles, and in addition approved tho action of tho bo- eedersfrom tho Charleston Convention, and proposed to re-appoint them, and Bond thorn to Richmond ns woll ns to Baltimore. Those two propositions Gov. Johnsonnndliis party endeavored to de feat, and ho resorted to a trick to ac complish it. • Ho offered his resolution, apparently all that could be desired by any one, leaving out Richmond and tho endorsement of tho Charleston Seced- crs. -Had it boon accepted by tho Con. vontiou, ho would Uioii liavo told tho pcoplo of Georgia, that ho, its author, defiled that- legislative protection was in the resolution; that nothing was furth er from his intention when ho drafted it. To such miserable expedients and • ubtorfuges are tho Douglasitcs in Geor gia driven to deceive tho pcoplo. A Speck of War. A speck of troublo looms up In our Northeastern horizon, growing out of tho action of tho French war vessels In Interfering witli the Canadian fisheries in tho Gulf of St. Lawrence. The caao is this: Thoro are two small Islands off tho novthurn shore of the Straits of llcllcislc, tho northern outlet of the Gulf or St. Lawrence. The Islands wore settled by tho French, but were captured by tho English, and upou tho treaty of peace were restored to the French upon ugreemeut that there should bo no buildings erected thereon, except such as should bo needed for tho carrying on tho fisheries. The KreucU agreed that no fortifications should bo orccted and no soldiers exceeding fifty in number were to be stationod there. Tho French, however, liavo erected orul batteries, and it i3 said that no less than thirty thousand suitors of tho Frenoh Murino foiCo are now actively engaged in tho wntors adjacent. Tho batteries now erected aro sufficient to control tho Straits, and a French squad ron is stationod at tho island of St. Fierro. British colonial vostols have been repeatedly fired on by tho French armed vessels, and tho Canadian fisher men have boon driven from the wuters. Not being able to pick a quarrel with England by these means, Franco has now claimed a part or Newfoundland. TJic whole matter lias been laid before Parliament by Mr, llaUburton, and Lord John Russell has boon called upon for the correspondence between the two countries. Tho Canadian people, we soc, me greatly exercised about tho matter, and great fears aro entertained ns to tiio designs of tho French Em peror. Sudden Death.—Wo learn that Col. Dozier Thornton, -of Chorokoo county Ain., while* iu good health fell suddenly dead on Sunday tho loth inst. To Cunt Bi.oodv Fi.ujf.—Wo aro sured by a friend who has known of its successful use in many cases, and never fuiling when tnod, that 7ted Corn Tea, is a sure and safe remedy for Bloody Flux. The corn is to bo I aimed nnd prepared liko coffco. Make tho doeoctioq toler ably strong and drink freely and fre quently, with or without sugar and cream. _ A False Report Coiirkcted.—The tools of tho administration nro so active in circulating false reports as to the po sition of tho Now Fork Democratic Delegation. One of tho most notorious nnd suc cessful of these fabrications runs to tho effect, that tho Now York Delegation, before leaving Charleston, agreed to sustain what is knowti us the Tennessee Resolutions by way of amendment to tho FJutform; nnd in this report, ns liavo much pleasure in stating, there Is not one syllable of truth. Now York was prepared to offer a ompromise platform, on which Judge Douglas or any other truo National Democrat could stand; hut this was only to bo done on condition that Vir ginia, North Carolina, Tennessee and Kentucky would pledgo themselves, before Clio adoption oT such compro mise, to sustain tho nominee rttnl give tho nomination to whomsoever should received two thirds of tho votes then actually in tho Convention. Tho Slides named refused to bhul themselves and so the wltolo matter fell to the ground. —From the Leader—Clancey, Douglas Delegate, ICditor, ' U. S. Muskets Wanted.—Thoro aro, or ought to bo, betwoon soventy-ilvo and one hundred U. S, Muskots in this community. ,Any person having ono or more of these arms is earnestly reques ted to immedmtoly deposit tho same in tho City Hull. Tho “Light Guards” are unable to got tlioir now arms in time, mid desire to have theso guns burnished so ns to use them on the Fourth of July. Prompt attention to this matter will greatly oblige tho “Light Guards.” Judoe Lo.vustrkkt.—Wo nro very much gratified to learn that Mr. Bu chanan lias appointed Judge Longstrect tho distinguished President of the South Carolina College, to represent tho Amer ican Government in tho Commercial and Statistical Convention which is to moot in London on tho lfltli of July noxt. This is a well-merited compli ment to 0110 of tho ablest and most ominont sons of tho South. Wo feel, too, a sort of homo pride in the appoint ment, inasmuch us the Judge was, for so many years, a citizen of Oxford.— LI is loss to the Stato has nroved a ca lamity not likely soon to no repaired.— As a truo .Southern educator, his servi ces were invaluable to Mississippi; nnd upon his occasional visits to our town he has ever been welcomed with a gen- orpus warmth which testifies our full appreciation of his worth. His asso ciate is to bo tho Uon. John A. Dix, of New York.—Oxford (Miss.) Mercury, Tennessee Platform and Rrsoi.ih --If tho South should consent to w her olaim to Congressional protection, by tlio adoption of tho Tennessee Plat form, .wo do not soo what olfiociinii in principle can bo made to tho forma tion of a Republican party in overy Southern State. Tho Tennossoo Reso lution, by falling to insist upon tho moans of vindicating the olaim which it sots up in bohnlf of tho South in tho Territories, virtually i\nd substantially renounces it. It thus concedes all tbo difference which really exists between tho positions of Douglas, nnd oven of the Black Republicans, on tho subject of slavery. The positions of Douglas and tho Black Republicans nro positive —that of tho Tennossoo Resolution is permissive. Douglas asserts that tho peo ple of tho Territories^nay nbolish slave ry. Tho Republicans assort that Con gress may owlish It. The Tonnesseo Resolution denies, in words, the right Doga* Delegates to Baltimore* As matters now stand, it is of very llttlo consequence whether tho bogus delegates appointed by tho “protes- tants” at Milledgovillo, will bo received by tho Douglas Convention at Balti more or not, Tor surely while that body adhorcs to its Squatter Sovereignty pint- form, no tlolegates truly representing the Democracy of Georgia will apply for admission to its councils. But if delegates have any authority to repre sent a political purty of a Stato in a Convention of tho States, that authori ty Is derived from tho consent of tho party or ut least a majority of tho party whom they nro delegated to represent. Without such consent tho attempt to represent a party in Convention is an unwarrantable assumption, and when tho office of delegate is assumed in op position to the known will of a large minority of the party represented by it, it is A gro«s usurpation of power, utteily repugnant to ami subversive of our sys tem of self-government. In this atti tude the liitlo hand of Squatter Sover eignty protostants nnd sccedurs from tho Milledgovillo Convention stand be fore tho country. Their presence in Baltimore will l>o in opposition to tho winlios of at le ist lbur-liflhs of tliq De mocratic party of Georgia, and their en dorsement of Squatter Sovereignty will bo no more binding of tho party than would bo tho voto of tho delegation in thosanio Convention from Massachu setts, nnd would exert no more influ ence on the vole of .the Stato in tho ap proaching Presidential election.—Aav. uVcws. Sinoui.ar Cause and Effect.—A sin gular Miicido was committed I.a wren coburg, Indiana, lust week, by a Mr. Joseph Grimslcy, tho cause of which appears to have been depression C reduced by tho report of a dying rot her, who stated on his revival from a trance, boliovod to bo death for time bv all who wero about him, that ho had been to honven nnd seen there all his family who wero dead, and learn*, ed that all would go there except Joseph. This announcement coming from a dying—almost a dead brother seems to liavo disordered the poor fol low's mind. Ho acted strangely for several days afterwards, and finally dis appeared on Monday, week before lust, Ho was not found till tho .Saturday following, when two tucu in search of g amo accidently discovered him swing le by tho neck to a polo which crossed a deep ravine. Tho sick brother died the saino day tho body was found. Religion or the Japanese.—Tho or thodox religion of Japan is Sin too—all hip tho sun. Thoir belief is that tho world was regenerated through tho instrumentality and appearance on earth of a female, nnd after having per formed this great and good work, for which by God sho was ordained, sho as cended to heaven and became embodied iu tho sun. Their national Dug is em blematical of their religion, displaying as it docs tho sun in all its purity upon tho whito field. There aro other sects, and among them tho most numerous would appear to bo followers of Buddha. Many suppose that Buddhism is tke arinciplo creed, from tho fact that its followers number tlireo hundred and twenty millions; this and the Maliome- dim religion being tho principal creed or religion of tho nations of tho East, The founder of tho Buddhist religion was a man called Sukyu Hinhu, who was born, us was supposed, two thousand four hundred and twouty years bolero die Christian era. It is not known for a certainty when Buddhism was first introduced into Japan. Tho statement so often made that Christianity is not ut tho present in any way tolerated, is a mistake, for thb Government is far from being intolerant in religious mat ters. Tho pcoplo of Julian attend vory llttlo to religious matters. Religion is a matter of business, which is attended to altogether by tho Makado and his priests. Some of tho Jopaneso attach ed to tho Embassy worship Buddha, some Sin too. some Mahomet, nnd sotno worship nothing. Tho two Ambassa dors and ono of the interpreters are Buddhists; tho Censor has no particular religion; tho Vico Governor is partly Sin too and partly Buddhist. tfSSTAin’t it curious, squire, weddiu’s is novot* out of women’s bonds? They never think of nothing oho. A young gill is always thin kin’ of lior own. As soon as sho is lnnrrricd, sho isuintchmn- kin* for her companions; and when sho is a grain older, nor dorter's woddin’ is uppermost agin. Oh, it takes a great study to know a woman. How cunniiY they'aro 1 Ask a young gal tho news, sho’ll toll you of all the deaths in tho placo, to make you think shodon’t trou- lil. herself about innrriages. Ask nil old woman, blio’ll toll you of nil tho marriages, to mnko you think sho’s takin’ an interest in tho world that shoaint. They certainly do beat all, do women. The Code of llonor* A writer in a Richmond Journal gives somo interesting details of the customs and mannors ot our present visitors.— What are regarded as aots of extreme politeness here, are deemed as acts of savage rudeness in Japan. To spit in the presence of a Japnncso Is a mortal offouce, and “spitting,” like “whittling,” is an Amoncan “institu tion.” Imagine, therefore, tho feelings of indignation, horror, and amusement with which the Jupancse ambassadors will regurd tho cxpectoratinu perfor mances of a committee of the Common Council of New York, or tv deputation of Congressmen. As tho Japanese resotitall Iho degradations and insults, not by killing their enemies, but by committing suicide, wo fear that tho blood of tho whole embassy of unhappy strangers will be upon tho hands of tho first tobacco-chewing committee into whoso hands they may bill. The Ja- panose tciiu for suicido is “happy des patch.” The method of committing the “happy despatch” is regulated by a code of honor, to whicii all Japaneso gentlemen conform. If a Japanese of good social position is insulted, ho at anco selects a long, sharp ktiife, drives it up to the hilt in tho region of tho “umoilicnl cord,” and rips himself up to ti;o Uiaplirum nnd fnlls dead. Tho JujMUicse code of honor requires tho party who gives tho insult to do precise ly the same tiling, nnd, iu* a conseqtieneo of this invariably fatal custom, the gentlemen of Japan are proverbially the most indite and tirhann men in tho world. If tho couo in this country was based on Mich grounds, it would lie a long lime, we imagine, before this city won hi bo excited over n duel, and Con gressmen would become tho most cour teous pcoplo towards oaclt other in their official ' l intercourse. L3J*Curoy W- Styles of Savannah, who was recently sentenced to sixty »lays imprisonment for tho rcscuo of '.q»t. Furnham, has published a card in ' " Savannah papers oxonorating U. Marshall, James M.

From Tike's Peak.—Tho Pikes Ponk Express from Donvor City on tho 21th hui arrived. Tho mining operations had fairly commenced. In Gregory's diggings most of tho ditches wore poy- ing from $5 to $50 per day to tho man. But little was doing in the quartz nnd lead mines. Rich discoveries of boul der diggins had been made. They nro saul to be tho most vnluuhlo known.— 1 ho greatest excitement is that created by tho discovery at tho head waters of tho Arkansus, where tiio gulelies aro re ported to l)o yielding from twenty-five to one hundred dollars per day to tho nintl.

Thoro is too much snow on tho ground, and the wea ther too cold, however, for successful operation. _____ JEST’Tho Chicago Journal soys:— “Wo have Mr. Lincoln’s authority for saying that his name is “Abra ham.* ” Abduction of-Litti.e Ella Bu This remark able little girl, who excited ho much attention in Philadelphia not long since, is missing, nml a. reward of ono hundred dollars is olibred for her discovery. It will bo remembered that tiio child, pending some litigation b tween her father uiid Mrs. Burns, to whom she was indentured, was placed by tho Courts under tho custody of a New York lawyer, who in turn caused her to bo sent to a school Icopt by a dor gyniaii in this city. From this school little Ella—whoso real namo is Eva Boll Whitton—was on tho 21st of April in veigled under false pretences by Mrs. Burns. Tho child was dressed in boy's dot lies, and Mrs'.

They wero next traced to Bufiulo, and there all track of tho party was lost.—Phih Enquirer. Position of Gov. Seward.—Tho edi tor of tho New York Times, on his way from the Chicago Convention, called on Gov. Seward, and writes a letter from Auburn to his paper, giving authorita tively, doubtless, Mr. Howard's views.— It seems, then, that ho will definitely retire from public life at tho end of his present senatorial term, but will now resume bis seat and servo his term out. Ho will not form 0110 of Mr. Lin coln’s administration, supposing that enndiduto should bo dected, nor will lie bo a enndiduto for President in 1804. In short ho considers his public life already closed, and he means to cnioy the remnant of his years in tho quiet of .his rural home. XQF'Gov. Morgan, of New.

Seward Shot Classicai.lv. — Mr. Toouibs, referring to Seward's defeat nt Chicago, said it was “Actreon devoured by bis hounds l” Most apt und happy illustration I And tho biggest hound in Nev. Dr, Cartwright nnd Abe Lincoln. Tho Koohoslor Democrat, (ho other day, iu announcing the fact that Dr. Cartwright, tiio Western pioneer Meth odist clergyman, was to lecture there, gnvo the following anecdote, as related by him, and added that it would “bear ©petition.” In view of a certain fact wo think “it will bear repetition,” and here it is from the Democrat, us Dr. Cart wright related it s The firsttimo I ran for ofllco in San gamon county, I was on the north side of Sangamon River, ns wo say in the West, electioneering, or, rather, trying to get acquainted with tho people, for I was at that onrly day a great stronger to many of them. Passing through a bushy point of undergrowth, near a fer ry, whore 1 intended to cross the river, I heard, just boforo mo, somo ono talk- g very loud. 1 reined my liorso <0 listen. I heard some ono say that Peter Cartwright was u d d rascal; and so were nil Meth odist preachers; they would a)l stead horses: and that it wnsa scandal to the country thnt such a man its Cartwright sho*uId offer ns a representative of tho county , and that tho first timo ho gnw him ho intended to whin him for ids impudence. This surprised mo a liitlo und 1 looked round for someway to pass without coming in contact «vrr,h this company; but there was no path that I could sec, and tho brush was so thick I could not got through. So l summoned nil my courage and rode boldly up ami spoko to tho men.— There wero six of them, and, as I learn ed, but ono of them hud ever scon me. So 1 w\)d: “Gentlemen, who is it among you that is going to whip Cartwright tho first timo you see him ?” Tho man who had threatened spoke out nnd said—“I am tho lark that’s go ing to thrash him well.” Said I ? “Cartwright is known to he much of a mail, and it will take a man to whip him, mind you.” “Oh no l” said he, “I can whip any Methodist prcaohor thnt the Lord evor made.” Well sir,” said I, “you cannot do it, mid now 1 tell you my namo is Cart wright and I never like to live in dread, if you really intend to whip me, come ami do it now.” Ho looked a little confused nnd said; 'Oh, you cant fool mo that way; you aro not Cartwright.” ■’Well,” said I, “that is my namo nnd mncamHduto for-tho Legislature, and now is your timo; if you must whip me, do it now.” Ho said, “No, no, you nro not Cart wright nt nil; you only, want to fool me?' By this timo wo had movod slowly to tho boat, and when wo got in ho broke out in afresh volley of curses on Cart wright. I enid to a gentleman on the boat, “Hero, Hold my horso;” and step ping up to this cursing disciple, 1 said sternly to him, “Now, sir, you liavo to whip mo ns you threatened, oroniit cur sing me, or I will put you into tho liver, and baptize you in tho namo of tiio dev” him This settled him, and strnngo to say, whon tho election emuo off ho went to tiio polls and voted for me, nnd ninined ever afterwards my warm and constant friend.

Tho stature of tho human race, especially (hat of men, likowiso lessons, though not to the snmo extent ut all, from tho equatorial and tropical regions towaid tho poles. In tho warm latitudes aro found races of men of largo dimensions dwindling iu tho cold regions of the high latitudes, so that it may be affirm ed thnt men grow low in proportion as the latitude is high. But womeii' are more uniform in size than men, being of nearly equal height in places where limn vary vory much in size. Jn regions where males nro much taller limn tiio average, the women continuo of about tiio same medium dimensions. Tho fact, too, appears from historic monuments, that tho size of the race in general has not varied from tho earliest a^es, and thut men and women aro now ol the snmo dimensions ns they were boforo tho period of Moses. This, wo supnoso, is amply corroborated by tho evidence afforded by tho thousands of mummies, which liavo been recently unrolled after lying hidden for thirty and forty centuries porhaps in tho cata combs of Egypt. A Coincidence in Names.—The Bal timore correspondent of the Macon Telegraph, says; “A singular fact oc curs in connection with namo of tho Republican candidates for President and Vico President. It will bo seen that by commoting tho two last sylla bles of each of their names, tho word Lincoln is produced, and also by con necting the two first syllables of each name, tho word Hamlin is spelt. It is vory rcmarkablo that two persons whose names aro cajmblo of such a him; his daughter retired to Geneva, where, by teaching young ladies, sho earned a hard subsistence for hcrsolf and hor mother; but in her lowest dis tress sho maintained a spotless reputa tion, nnd dignified behavior. A rich hanker of Paris, u citizen of Geneva, hud tho good fortuno and good sense to discover and possess this estimnblo treasure; and in tho capital of taste und luxury sho resisted tho temptations of wealth os she had sustained tho hardships of indigcnco. Tho genius of her husband lias exalted him to tho most conspicuous station in Europe.— faithful friend; and Mademoiselle Curchod is now tho wife of M. Neeknr* tho minister, and perhaps the legislator of tho French monarchy. Military.—“Did tho guard present arms to you, Mrs. Partington ?” asked a commissary, as ho mot her at the entrance of a marquee. “You mean tho century ?” said she, smiling, “I have heard so much about tho tainted Hold, that I bcliovo I could deplore an attach ment into lino myself, and secure them as well as an officer. You ask mo if tho guard presented arms. Ho didn't; but a sweet little man, with nn epilepsy on his shoulder and a srnilo on liis face, did, and asked mo if I wouldn’t go into a tent nnd smile. I told him that we could both smile as woll outside, when politely toucliod his chateau aud left mo.” Hopes of Tennessee.—Whilo the Mis sissippi Democratic Convention was in session, Maj. E. Barksdale read a tol- egraphic dispatch from Memphis, to tho efioct that the largest mooting of tho Democracy ever held in that city was held last night; tliotthe action of the <©*Col. Philip .S. White tells the fol lowing anecdote iu relation to the re- semblanoo of Gen. Goss, to Iho elder Guy of tho Nationul Hotel in Washing ton ; A stranger, who supposed ho knew mine host very well, put up at the Na tional tho other night. Wince this house has become tho crack hotel at the Capi tol, it is quite full, and nt this time tho new comor, necessarily for tho first night, was sent to tho upper floor to sloop. Coming down stair# tho next morning, a littlo cross, ho mot General Gush there, who has a lino suite of rooms iu the hall, stepped up to him, and in a language more forciblo than elegant, “I’ll bo d—d if I stand it) You’vo put mo nt the top of the house. 1 must liavo a room somewhere lower clown.” Gonoral Cuss interposed and suid’norv* ously, “Sir, you are mistaken in tho per son you are addressing. I am General Gass of Michiguu.” Stronger confusedly. “Bog your par don Gen ernl Cnss—th oil ght it was my old friend Guy, beg a thousand pardons, sir. All a mistake, all n mistuke, all mistake, I assure you sir.” Tho General passed out of tho build ing, but soon returned, and as luck would liavo it, tho'strongurinot him full in tho foco again, but iu another posi tion. This timo ho was sure ho had mine host, for the Senator from Michi gan, ho knew, had just gone out. Sc, the s|rangcr stopped boldly up, slapped tho General heartily and familiarly on the shouldor, exclaimed: “By heavens, Guy, I’ve got n rich fell to relate. I met old Cass up stairs, just now, thought it wus you, and began cursing him about my room.” General Cass (with emphasis)—“Well, young man, you’ve met old Cass again!” Stranger sloped ,and has not been heard ot since.
