ffljc finite Courier. M. DWINKLL, Emron. GEO. T. STOVALL, Associate Kt» ROME, Q-A. TUESDAY MORNING, Sept’r 4. for your approval ftt the coming olootlou. Our uooplo will thus be permitted to en joy the privilego of creating at least ton thousand Duck republican votes in a sin gle day, as an equivalent for the wile of their robratentfttives in the .Senate anil Assembly. A great .responsibility rests upon Now York in the ponding contest. Tho certainty that our csipdidatos are .to carry a large majority of the Southern States makes it apparent that the real interest is between Mr. Bell and Mr. Lincoln, and that the vote of our own State, in all probability, will *«»*» l,, o scalo between them in the final result. If the national nioti of the State, who are opposed to tlio wholo system of strife and agitation carried on by the re publicans, will but unite and act in con cert, they undoubtedly constitute a largo and decisive majority of tlio people.” The frequent and hearty responses made to these statements gave unmis tnknble evidence of tlio concurrence of the vast auditory. Mr. Hunt concluded his address with the following curliest appeal: So far as our own Stato is concerned thoro is hut one question worth consid ering. Shall Nuw York he sectional oi national? Shall she take her appropri ate attitude ns the foremost of the l lil ted States in population and power, and hold out tlio olive brunch to nil her sis ters, and proclaiming her sentiments of concord and affection toward tluin all, and her inflexible determination to sus tain tlio compact of our fathers true spirit of friendly union and nation ality? Ur shall she ‘swing from he" moorings”—sepnrato from tlio Smithori half of i lie republic, and become one of a combination of Northern and disuni ted States to grasp tho^owm* and pat ronage of the national government, an nouncing to tlio Southern people that she is henceforth to ho'found only on tlio sido of irrepressible conflict and never ending strife. Again, I repeat,we must decide ’whether the Empire State shall bo national or sectional. A mnio solemn and vital question was never pre sented to our pooplo. Let it be decided by itself.

Hunt, tho Prcsi- (1,'iit of th» NnuBnitl Convention thnl nominated Bell and Kvorctt, addrossod tho “Contral Conunltteo of tho National Union Clubs” at their rooms, 054 Broadway. Tho meeting was “largo and enthusiastic,” and I use this novel phrase not because of its nownoss, but because it is in this instance, at lonst, emphatically true, Tho largo Hall was densely crowded, and it was decidedly tho most enthusiastic mooting l over attended in my life. Gov. Hunt is a tall, line-looking man —neither portly nor slender—of fair complexion, and his very looks impross one with an exalted opinion of Ills can dor, purity and moral and Intellectual greatness. IIo is no great orator in the ordinary nccoptqtion of tlio term, yet his clear views of truth logically ar ranged and forcibly expressed, in short torso sentences by pure anglo-sixon words that can ho understood by all, rendors him a highly interesting speak er. Ho doos not use n superfluous word nor utter a sentonco that is not full of meaning. As our readers all know, tlio Douglas and Bell men of this Stato have made a combination electoral ticket having on it 25 Douglas men and 10 Bell men. Tho Breckinridge party of New York have already taken initiatory steps to join in this coalition anil thero is now very little doubt but that theso three partios will be united in one solid pha lanx against Black Republicanism.— Tho grand object of Gov. IIunt r speech was to defend this action of theso parties against tho assaults of tlio champions cf tho “irrepressible con flict.” Tho speaker stated and proved by the oflicial reports of the results of Into elections that tlio Republican party are in a minority of at leust 40,000 in the Stato of New York, and ho urged that in a crisis liko tlio present it is tho patriotic duty of all good men to sink all minor differences and to form a “Union for tlio snko of tho Union.”— There was not a taintof sectional fanati cism in his entire speech, but it was a most earnest appeal to tho patriotism of his hearers to now unite and save tlio country from tho dangers that would result from tho election of Lincoln and tlio administration of tlio Government by tlio adherents of tho “irroprosslhlo conflict” and “higher law” doctrines. In regard to tho false charge mndo by tlio Black Republican papers of the State that tho Boll party had been sold to Douglas he said s Perhaps it is enough to say that tlio ten Boll electors wore selected by a committee oi thirty-two of tho most learned and reliable men in tho com munity, representing the Union party, and accepted by tho State Convention of tho supportors of Mr. Douglas, with , rftl . .. . . -:>other stipulation or condition than | ‘hrough tho thickets, [communicated.] Messrs Editors Eneourngod by ycur liberal. and truly magnanimous cause, I am constrained to ask a place in your columns, that 1 may attempt *o analyze the doctrine of intervention, and protection, so us, to show tho dis tinction betwoptv tho two, and that in tho distinction, there is a difference. Tho doctriuo of intervention, implies the right to interfere, to intermeddle, to weaken, to injure, to impair, to hurt, to destroy. And the fact that politi cians uso tho term, as implying the pow er to build up, or aid, us well as to pull down, or hinder, doos not in tho least impair the force of t the.«o significations. It is not claimed that this is the stric literal meaning of tho word interven (ion, nor do I suppose any roasonahl man of cither political party wishes b ho confined to such, for if wo wero t< ■ to I to hot wot political dinary interests ot pnrty, the fortunes of of candidates, personal consequence* of ever}' sort, are as dust in tlio balance.— l would present the issue singly and have it decided by a direct vote, that wo nmy know and understand where wonro and what wo are. Freemen of New York! the question is with you, and many a patriot ‘heart looks forward to your decision with deep anxioty, but with firm, unwavering confidence in your Intolllgonco.your natriotiodevotlon and your ability to maintain those prin ciples of national unity which consti tute us ono country and ono people.” Tho meeting was composed of substan tial, good looking men, and tlio feeling seemed to prevail that Lincoln will be defeated in this State. If so, then Bell or Everett will be our next President.— Tjio BrockinrWlgo men hero entertain no sort of hope of carrying a single Northern State, and since the Southern elections their condition is that of ” fiat despair.” - At. 1). gQT*On Saturday we found ourselv ono month ahead of.timo, our paper on the outside being dated October instead September, 1st. Our columns are crowded to-day. and ono or two communications nro nec essarily postponed. flSy.Y volunteer company is about being organized in Calhoun, Gordon County. UQjf-Mr. W. V, Wester has sold out his interest in tho Calhoun Platfo his former associate «T. B. Bray lisq., who lias changed its name to The l alley Jleyister. JgfW, W. Clayton, Esq., of Kings ton, has been appointed agent, at Atlan ta, of thoG. It. It. k Blinking Co., to till the vacancy caused by the rcsignut of Mr. r. Brown. Tho Montgomery. (Ala.) .Vail states, upon the authority of a pnssonger from Atlanta, that a Northern white n ring tho late excitement near villo, was run down by dogs mid killed by tho citizens. This is a mistake; snob occurrence happened. vould be too vagiD I statesmen. But wo sco that it is generally if not universally admitted to imply the above significations, noF docs it in anywise do violence to its litoral meaning. This being the ease it is readily perceived, that non-intervention means non-inter foreneo, non-intermeddling Ac. So that tho doctrine of non-iiiterventioii simply moms that Congress shall not interfere with the rights of property in slaves in the territories, so as to im pair, hinder or destroy that right, nor doos it ask that tho right shall ho estab lished built up or supported by Con gress, but simply let it alone, giv** it a fair showing. Now wo wish to oxainir.o the doctrine of protection, and discover, if possible, hat there is in it at variance with tho octrine of non-intervention. Tho ord does r.ot mean to build up, to es tablish or oven to aid. It certainly mid have to mean this, and morotoo, to infringe upon the doctrine of r.on-iu- rvoulloii. 1 ask then what does tho word pro tect signify? It may and does doubtless iguify to guard, to defend, to hold harmless. Take thou'either or all of those signification*, or any other that may be brought to bear, and can you find in them anything n Inch implies to establish, to Imild up; or on the other hand tho right or power to interfere, to impair to hinder, or destroy? Certain ly not. l’roteetion is asked then, not to build up or establish a right, which is already established and hold, under the consti tution, but that the right may bo bold harmless, guarded, defended, protected, (if you please) from interference, inter meddling, intervention whereby the right may bo impaired, hindered, injur- cd, yen, destroyed. Now it is strange, passing strange to me, tlint protection tdiouid have been regarded as synonymous with in tervention. To niy mind there is but one way to come to such a conclusion, and tliut is to regard slavery, ns an out law, as a nuisance, a* existing without law and requiring local or municipal law to establish it, having no existence under the Constitution. This is the on ly process of reasoning which can pos sibly tnrtuuo the two doctrines into tlio same signification. Audi had thought ill recently, that thero was no c i he South, no one but a rabid, veno mous Abolitionists, who was capable of such reasoning. In this connection 1 would like to call tho attention of true men at die South to a correspondence «>1 the Rome Southerner if’ Advertiser ot last week over tho signature of ,J. A. Stewart, of Atlanta. It does scorn to me that such a course of reasoning is I letter suited to homo other lutiludo ; 1 want to know who endorses his posi tion. Does tho Southernerf We shall Anniversary* Thirteen years ago yes tor day, Col. Sam Colt mndo his first start in this city ns a manufacturer- of the celebrated weapon which hears his name. At that time many financial diilicultiCs beset die course of Col. Colt— ho battled with energy against them ull, and how true does Jiis record of success from that time tip to tho present hour reflect tho undaunted bravery of thoso efforts? Such courage in a man is always com mendable, hut never more so than when udverso fortuno is bravely met, and over}' difficulty surinountod. Thir teen yoam—it seem* hut a short time— lias wrought wonderful changes in tho city of Hartford. Improvement has marked itself in every avenue of trade, mid we look with pride upon tho pros* perty of home cflhrt*. But among all these improvements, the south part of the city is eutithd to the greatest share of credit. The moiimnem of labor is there.

Of course the odd request got noised abroad ; all ‘ie village eamo to dio funeial: and gory hotly keeping an eye on everybody else to see that nobody should so much as wink, tlio natural result followed. A fat priest lio.ir tlio eollhi was the lir-t to breakdown: dicchnir hoys,in tin* frailty of their youth,followed the fat prie. t tie minor canons, trying to stop tho choir boys, oral least to ni.ikn them “laugh out of the wrong side of their mouths,” caught the contagion and began to shake their sides; the deacons w-ont off next into a (ull giitfaw, and iinallv the cure himself was conquered and c hoked in Isis handkerchief. In * Chief Justice Tnucy ami the Drcd Scott Case* Tlio Washington Constitution, of the 24th tilt., says: f* The bead notes of tho judgment in tho Dred Scott case wero prepared by tlio bund of the venerable Chief Justice Taney. This is a positivo fact. Wo know it to he so.” The head notes contain tho following principles: 1st. The Federal Government, ns tho agent and trustee of tho people, can ex orcise no power over tho rights of per sons and property in tho Territories which is prohibited by tho Constitution, and the rights of tlio Government and tho citizen in the Territories nro clearly defined and limited by tho Constitu tion. 2nd. Tho Territories having been ac quired for tlio equal and common bon©- [it of all, Congress lias no power to dis* 3t‘imiunte in favor of tho citizens from any particular .State, or in favor o( any cins* of persons. 1r 1. Every citizen bus a right to tako itli him into the Territories any article of property which tho Constitution of United States recognizes as proper ty. Ith. TlieConstitution recognizes slaves property, and pledges tho Federal Government to protect it: and Congress ixercise any more power over it than it can over any other species-of property. tli. The act of Congress, therefore, prohibiting slavery is unconstitutional, ir.d tho residcuco of a negro in such a Territory does not cntitlo him to free- loin. •ith. While it remains a Territory ’engross may legislate over it within tho scope of its constitutional powers, and tablish and regulate a 'Territorial gov* iituent, hut with powers not exceeding inso conferred on Congress itself, in respect to tho rights of person* ami property. If any ono doe* know what the .Su premo Court decided, that one is Chief Justice Taney; and the position taken by Mr. Douglas, that tho only question decided was that Dred Scott was not a citizen, and that all the points laid down in the head notes were obiter dicta, has no more foundation in fact than it before bad in reason. TiiuSupreme Court have declared, not only that Congress has no power to prohibit slavery, but a Territo rial Legislature has no .-U'li power: and Mr. Doiiglu*, if he has no regard for his plighted faith with his Democratic broth- n, still, a* a good citizen hound to abide l>y and carry out die law* of tlie land, ho should ahaii'h u liU uiu oiiMitu tionul heresy ol’Squitter Sovereignty and openly avow its ivp.uliatioii.

'The honorable spoaker gaVe fho Re publicans in this State, who because of the divisions among die Union moil nro in power, some very severe blows. Ho said: In some important respect*, they have failed to give us a good govern ment. While public attention 1ms been directed to remoto objects, and a fic titious alarm excited lest slavery should invado latitudes where negroes uro fro zen in the winter months, our people have been too neglectful of tho duties of self-government. A moro dangerous (because real) slavery ha* appeared in our very midst. Corruption stalks abroad, nml invades tlio teinplo of lib erty and justice. If wo can believo their own organs, the friends of free dom have introduced the slave trndo in the halls of our Capitol. Worst of all, they have been selling white men, and the representatives of white men.— Legislation bought and sold—bills pass ed or defeated to suit the highest bidder —bribery tho order of the day—such is tho hideous picture presented to die people of our noble State. In the name of all that is sacred, how long will they submit to be deluded? The legislative bodies which do these things display an ostentatious zeal for free dom;- They pass wordy resolves about Ivansas and the mountains of New Mexico; they introduce and almost pass “personal liberty bills” to defeat the return of fugitive slaves according to the compact of the constitution. The universal negro is visible on every sido. At lass it is proposed to form a “coalition” with him by raising him to an equality with white men in the right of suffrage. This proposal has passed two Legislatures, and will bo presented that, then wo “double” and almost icli tlio starting point, and again wo branch olT, until ut last the shout is heard, “Thoro lie goes,” ami noon the wholo “pack” is in “full cry.” Never mind tho skirts now !
