promptness and energy, lot us be gov
erned by wisdom nnd patriotism. Wo

contending factions of tho Democratic
party. One of theso agree with us in
p -inclplo and will wage unrolonting war

perhaps, bo oflected upon oquitn-
blo and lionorahlo terms. If tho Con
stitutional Democracy rejoct such an
overture, it will bo convincing proof
that love of principle is not their motive
of action, but that they aro fighting for
the ascendency in their own party* The
purity of our motives will then l»o bo-
yOnd question, nnd our course so clear
ly marked out that move but dema
gogues will refuse to follow it, nnd tiono
but their victims can err therein.
Then forty thousand true inch in tho
State of Uoorghu who have never been
•onquored, though often defeated, who
have never been misled, though often
out iced, who huvo never fultorod though
often in the lniuority, will onco tuoro
give evidence to tho world that they
love their country more than party.
According to our recollection, nnd
tho resolution wo published lust week
from the Savannah llcpublican, the Ex
ecutive Committee nro authorized to
nominate Electors. But the- - interests
of the Country and tho success of our
principles demand that n Convention of
tho pnrty, after culm doMhei ation and
vise consultation, shall determine cu
ddly and policy in the present exigency.
Wo therefore enter our emphatic protest
against tljoexorcise of tlmauthority con
fet’lvd upon tho Cnniniittco to nomi
nate an Electoral ticket. Wo have sig
nified our willingness to unite with the
iitutioiml Democracy upon'fair uml
quul terms.
All hope of such ft Union is not yet
extinct. So fnr as we can discover tho
proper spirit animates both parties in
thii section. We tliofeforo call uj>on
the Constitutional Union press to ndviso
and insist upon tho call ol* a Conven
tion.- It Is the path of. safety, and if no
nthor good can possibly result from It,
wo can at least consult together, as to
our plan of operations and bring words
of encouragement to each'othov from

It lias boon assorted that Mr. Everett
Is hi favor of tho abolition of slavery in'
the District of Columbia. Wo demand
tho proof of this. In 1850—’51. he stood
sldaby sltlo with Webster. Diokinson.
Clay, Cass, Calhoun, Crittenden, and
other old nnd distinguished statesmen,
inon Iho groat adjustment measures, -
'hoso measures declared against the
abolition of slavery In the District of
Columbia, und comprised a fugitive
slave law. They ivcro against tlm Wll-
■not Proviso, and tlm further agitation
of Mm slavery question; In short, ho
stood with'FUlmore, upon tho Goorgin
C lforin, and was his accomplished
rotary of 8tato. From that any to
tills, Seward and Ills Black lloptihlicnn
legions have waged an uneftiaingnnd un-
ivmpnmmxg war upon Mr. K. nnd his
who'^od 01 '^' <■'««•-1 surrender without a word, but
tlm Compromise of I860. But it may not,n word to offer. All I want is
be asked, does Mr. E. still stand upon
that compromise? Wo answer in tho
affirmative. Whilst Douglas and his
confederates prove faithless to tlvoiv
pledges, and ronmved tho sluvory agi
tation by tho Kansas swindle; Mr. Eve- —„ — rr . _
i-ott remained t rue to his principles boon oooupled in common by two broth-
and pledges. On tho 8th of Fobrnnry, ore, one or whom had a family; tho oth-
1854, lie uttorod tho following noblo “ ^
sentiments:
“I trust that nothing which I liavo
now said will ho taken in derogation of
tho compromises 1850. I adhere to thpn !
I stand by t/wm l I do so for many rea
sons. One is respect for tho memory of
tho great men who wore the authors of
them—lights and ornaments of tho
country, but now taken from Itssorvice.
1 would not so soon,' if it wore in my
power, undo thoir work, if for no other
rorison. But besides this, I am one of
those—I am not ashamed to avow it—
who believed at tliut time, and whosiiil
boliovo, that at thnt period tho union
of tiiesQ States wua in great danger, nnd
that tho adoption of tho compromise
