We pro- lohi^pfoeont allies would not have the effrontery to exact the fulflllmeiit of tho pledge.m<ulo by Dr. Miller, upon tho gr^hhd that they had come up ttt tho fdkr at ids requirement, but elite not intend to carry it out in fetter or spir it* other word*, thnt^ they bad made such n platform as he demanded, but that they did not intend to abide: bv Hit principles in good faith. And wc know tha*. Dr. Miller, .with all ids (xm tempt for what ho has heretofore ridiculed and scorned ns a mere party trick to entrap honest voters, would spurn sucli duplicity. Norv wliut are the facts. These very men with whom lie is now in such con tented and oven happy affiliation, nre the same whom he has denounced so vehe mently and eloquently for the past four years “before assembled tliouands," for practising n client and swindle Ufion tho South, in palming off on them the double construction Cincinnati hum bug. He ought therefore, very natur ally to have boon, and doubtless was, somewhat suspicious lest they might concoct another and quite as successful “party trick.” Again “in tho canvass of 1850,” when he made this ’promise we beheld Dr. Miller, before these same assembled thousands, “at no little per sonal inconvenience to himself,” urging upon the people of (leorgia from one end of it to the other, tho claims of Co). Warren Akin for governor, and bas ing those claims upon his uvowed recog nition and epdorsenient of “tho adjudi- rated rights of the South,” and tho refus al of Ids opponent, Gov, Drown, to de* dare his views upon tho suiua grant questions, which “involvo tho perpetui ty of tho Union, and the duration of tho government, under present C» stitutiounl guarantees. Where then were tiiosc who now support Mr. Dreck- inridgo and with whom Dr. Miller has allied hitmcift Every ono of thayi supporting Gov. Drown. These jiniioi- plcshad no charms for them then. -I Democrat was uot their exponent, and they might go to tho winds. Wo again iwk whore were our Domo. cratio Breckinridge Congressmen last winter when MeClcnmnd was candidate for speaker of tho Ilouso of repre sentatives—a man ns fully committed to “tho short cut to all tho ends of Black Republicanism,” ns. Mr. Douglas himself? Every one, with a few honor- ablo exceptions, cast their votes for him. Tho importance of our "atljulficafcd rights" liad not at that time impressed istelf upon their ntfnds. But we como now to a later period, silica the adoption of this platform which lias so ninny faoiuations for Dr. Miller. It is well known that the Leg islature of Kansas in tho exorcise of Squatter Sovereignty had passed laws prohibiting slavery in that Territory;— Senator Brown introduced in the Sen ate a resolution, or an amondmenV as follows: t Itcsolveit, That the existing condition of tho Territories of the U. Stntos does roqiiird tho Intervention of Congress for the protection of property in slaves. Nearly every Breckinridge Senator voted against this resolution and defeat ed it. Where then is the guaranty that the principles of tho platform will over be enforced? Will it bo “when nocos; sary?” When will it eyor bo nopeippry, if it was not when Senator Brown’s reso lution was voted down ? A Territorial Legislature had enaotod laws excluding Slavery, and Breckinridge Senators de clared there* was no necessity to carry out the principles they liad endorsed. Need Dr. Mlllor liave sought for quib bles or evasions Are not these faots suf ficient T What more can he want to *fttisfy himthftt a Domooratio platform fo no better now than-for years, past when as the. Doctor pimsolf allegod, they were intended to decieve? But now to his negative propositions —and first that *‘M r i Boll has never de clared that Congress has no Qmttytwnal power to prohibit slavery in the,Territo ries/ 1 We do nqt pretend tfl 'thaf fact beyond a doubt. On the 18th or February 1847, the three million bill being under con. •(deration, Mr. Bell voted against the proviso introduced by Mr. Wilmot and called by his name. On the 3d of March 1847‘Was again offered and Mr. Bell voted No! On the 5th pf Juno, 1850, Mr* Cha.Ho offered it as an amendment to (ho Compromise measures and Mr. Bell vot ed, No t On the same day Mr. Reward again presented it, and Mr. Boll votod Kol And soon through ids record it will bo found that ho voted against It with unvarying and unflinching opposition. So much cannot be said of tho two lea, dew of tho Brcekinridge party—Mr. Cobb and Mr. Yancey. They both vot ed for tho. Wilmot Proviso, and thus ei ther violated their oaths of office, or be lieved it to bo Constitutional. But even admit that Mr. Bell believes It to be Constitutional; no had rather put our oonfldonce in a mail who so believed, and always votod against it liecuuse of Its injustice to the South, than for one who held the contrary opinion and nevertheless would vote for it. But the compiler of Mr. Bell’s votes und speech es in summing up his vietvs on the sla very question, said Mr. Bell “could find no warrants in tho Constitution for Clio clause in tho net of 1850, restricting Islkvory by the line of 3ft: 30.” This compilation was prepared at Mr; Bell’s instance, endorsed by him and copies of it sent by id in to several correspond ents us tho “authentic exposition of his £oilr*o upon tho slavery question,” It s ti*n not therefore be presumed that ho would permit it go before the country, puloss Jio approved tho positions as- sigiuMl him by the compiler. If he bo liovod tlmt Congee** hud no Constitu tional power to pas* the Missouri rcstrie. lion" liq of course believes that it has no ••Oomititutior.al power to,prohibit slave ry in tho Territories.” Dr. Miller's second proposition, that “ho has never'dcrimed that Congress cannot confer that power on the Terri toriul Legiduture, nor tlmt they uiiuiot constitutionally exorcise it,” stands or fulls with the Htit. For If Congress does not |iossc*s lids (Kiwer it cannot confer it, andn Territorial Legislature cannot exercise ft, been use it derives all its powers from Congress. But we will again appeal to tho “authentic ex|>osi- tiou.” As far. hack as 1850 ho used the billowing language in the Senate: “We In Tennessee at that (IMH) time believed wc were advocating principles and doctrines on this subject approved ill nil theSomlieni Stales. The princi ple then contended for was that tho people of a ’♦ erritory. irhrn they ram* to )Hr state ami then only, piatilled to establish llieir duinvs- tie institutions. He is.moiv explicit as to Ids own views oil thi* question than would be inferred from Dr. Miller's loiter. Jio not only said “the people of Tennessee,” but “(C€ in Tenncaseo,” leaving no doubt uiaiut ids own opinion. L anything can lenrer and more unequivocal than this declaration wo cannot conceive the language which would.bb used to ex press it. Dutag<.in, in 1850, Mr. Boll, in an aide indication ol Southern interests, con tended that the South received no inivalcnt for tho admission of Califor nia into the Union, and in ,q powerful argument advocated tho repeal of the local laws existing in tho Mexican Ter ritory provioua to Us acquisition by the United States, and which prohibited the introduction of slavery. Uv said that the “soundness of tho general: doctrine cannot bo questioned or disproved,” that the Constitution propria rigt/re—that tho flag of the Union protects the citizen in the en joyment of his rights of' property o/ every de• script ion, RErouxrzKn as the Stvtes, on every sea, ritory of the Union;'* but, as there, Won local laws oxoluding slavery, pre-exist ingin the Territory of New Mexico, for two pmituries, the “question was more doubtful and formidable to the interests of tho South;” and for this roascm.lie was in favor of removing the restrictions ill order that “the principles'of the Con stitution might bo left to their full und fair oporation.” And to secure this he voted for tho resolution of Mr. Davis ro- poaling those Jaws,iuid thuSyplucod this Territory in tho samo condition as if they liad nover existed; and 1 tlmt, as in tho case of Oregon, which lie cites, “ slavery might be entitled (o the protection qf the lavs and Constitution of the United States.” This doubt as to whether the local lairs of New Mexico woro repealed by tho Constitution of tho United States; Mr. Toombs in lm speech in the Senate on tho 21st of May last, says in almost tho very language of Mr. Bell, existed in his mind; and such men as Clay, Cass, Webster and Badger contended that they Wore notropoalod until it was done by Congress or the local Logisla- over heard of Dr. Millor objecting to Mr. Clay mi this ground?

Actuated the spirit of patriotism, and with jMH’foct sincerity I declared before us- semblcd thousand*, in the cunvuss of 1859, that I souglit.uo party advantage; I only desired tlie recognition und enforce ment, by political parties, of ,the adju dicated rights of the .Synth ; that if tho Democratic party,’whop it umt 4 in con- eiiliou, udoptod a piutfoiu plainly and 'Oxorciso-it*.

' Mr. Beil has never pledged himself by spceoh or vote to the mainituance of the principles of the Dred Scott decision, nor is it known to day that ho approves of it. Mr. Bell has m?v6r denied, but on the qo'ntrtfty riSssrts the constitutiojiid power of Congress to nbolisii sTAvory in the District of Colum bia.

Tho evil of this - bmisMon fo khbwhiir tlie action of tlio opposition convention which mot to no m inn to an electoral ticket. For tlie first time the party failed to inscribo its time honored prin ciples upon its banner. And where is the Bell orator or Bell newspaper even in Georgia who is now contending for tlie ancient faith? who roads in Bell or gans the clear ringing arguments against Rquatter Sovereignty to which wc have been so long accustomed ? who listen* to tho scathing denunciation* of Douglas nnd his lioresibs with which our cars were last year so familiar? Where is tliore ono newspaper or one single man in all the Norm supporting Mr. Boll, wiio stands up boldly for the adjudicated rights of the .South ? Til ERE is not one. Men may repeat tlio fwm- ity, “The Constitution, the Union, und tlio Enforcement of tho lam*,’’ until doomsday without results.

Tor- For the Romo Courier, That Party Without a Platform. Discharged from day to day that Mr. Boll and the party supporting him; havo no platform; That tholr where abouts on tho slavery question, is not defined. Ahd some, oven, who havo lioreto- TdrO been tho foremost advocates of thb' opposition or Union party, ,ara now, trying to tune their harps to play upon ibis string. But it makes horrible dis- coni; when usod as an accompaniment to the old doulbcd-stortcd Cincinnati or gan. \Vo bcllevo that the position of parties is not properly understood by a large mass of tlio votors; that is, that persons are led to bcliaVe that the platforms contain or set'forth doctrines, which are not to bo found In them. And again, that they do not avow principles, which really aro to bo found therein. Tho constitutional Union party, bo- llsve thoy have in “the •Constitution, tlie Union, and enforcement, of the laws,” a platform sufficiently broad, for over)' honest put riot to stand upon.— But It is ol footed, tliat llin Constitution admits of more than ono construction, or rather tlmt it is differently constru ed in different sections of the Union.— Admit it. Can more bo said for the party und Convention platform now be fore tho country? No, unless it be those intended to bo purely soctlonal. LU u* briefly compare tho ptatform of tho Union party, witli that of tho Breckinridgcra, tjio one which, wo are told is sopluin, so honest,soiinoqivooaL Thu Supremo Court Is tlio highost tribunal known to our government for the adjudication of doubtful Constitu tional questions. AH parties admit this. Tlie only ditforonco is, (hat one party or ono seetion, proposo to 00 man* age us to secure tho judgement of the Court In tlioir favor, or according to thuir construction of the Constitution. Tho Court lias decided wlint are tho constitutional rights of the slavo-holder in tlio Territories, vis, that tho constitu tion recognizes slave* ns property; tlmt tho slavo owner has an equal right with other citizons to lettlo in tLo common Territories, with his slaves, and that I10 ;* there justly entitled to protoction in thin property os much as in any other. And that neither oongroass, nor a Terri torial Legislature can Impair this right, and moreover, it Is tho duty of the Government to protect the eitisen in thosa rights. This is briefly tho doc trine of the Dred Scott decision. Is not this enough, so tor as the expo sition of tlie Constitution Is concoruod, to satisfied every Southern hum ? Then we take the constitution os our plat form. And we think it strange that ar.y man can have the tomerily for a moment to believe, that any other con struction than tlie above, was Intended when the "Constitution, the Union, and the enforcement of tho laws,” was laid down as the platform of the Union paity. Does auy sane uiau .boliove that any other construction wasintonded? Or does he believe it was intended to go boCoro tlie country as a platform, with a double meaning? . And siuoe tho de cision of the Supreme Court, the South* cm pooplo aro tho lost, who ought to week to make tho 0011 test, upon.auy otb* dr platform. An abolitionist, freesoiler, or Squatter. Sovereign, might with some shorn ofplausibility, objoetto tlio vot ing for a man, or with a party, upon suoli a platform. But a Southern man, nover. , . . Lot us turn now for a moment to the platform of* the Breckinridge party. We say the Breckinridge party, for.wo suppose it yet a mooted question whether they are tho Democratic party, the Disunion party, or. the Southern party per so. We disiiko to name other -people’s, children, and especially ille gitimates; but that there be no-canto-. •Ion borcaftor wo would propose the name Protestant Democrats, as tboir future appellation. We do not like the name of Socedora, it carries, with it of late, the idea of Disunion*. * - Well, avhat is their platform?. .Would you believe it I A new edition of the old Cincin nati double-shufHo platform 5 with notes by Brookinridge, Yancey k Co., andfor salo by tho disunionlst of the South generally. Ah I that is it, Is it? Yes, but it is the notes that render it saleable at the South. Then, let us «co beforo we purchase. The first of : tho explanatory resolutions reads as fol lows : ‘That tho government of a territory organized by Congress, Is provisional and temporary, and during its exist ence All citizens of the United States, havwan equal right to settle with their property in tho Territory, without their rights of - either person or property being destroyed or impaired by Con gressional or Territorial Legislation.”— Any double-shuffle there? Anything in that resolution about slavory or slave property? Not a word. Who is to de cide what is property, and what is-not property? Is it to be left to the abo litionists who do not recognise slaves as proporty ? The second reads thus: "That it is tho duty of the Federal Government iu the platform tho third of the eaplnna- satsteasrc admitted into tho Federal Union, whothor its Constitution prohibits' or ""pinalHfc'WIH! $ )Hvery/_ And as strange as the announcement may soetn, this is all that Is said about slavery, or tha protection of-slavo prop erty in tho^ And) inridgo 1 in the Territories. Arid'a groat.many of tho nienibera of that party honestly believo, that tlio platform pledges that much, when in truth, there to not a Word about tlio protoction of slavery in tho Territories; 1 in.-tbe* whole estab lishment. WhAro then is tho authority for snoh a belief t not in this platform ocrtuinly. If the framers of this in strument, intend It to bo so construed, tvhy did they uot have tho : honesty to •ay i4.repmprrry, rrhon they said it was the duty of Congress to protect proper- ty *0. ? The tputvor is obvious. Tho whole concern has, to me, voiy much the ling of a vote catching machine. Now if members in Congress who belong to this party aro lliir exponents of tlio principle* of tho party, wo do not bo- Hove thoy over did intend, or over will pass a latv Ibr tho protection of slavery In tlio Territories. Charge them thus, and thoy point you to what they did In tho caso of Mr. Da vis’ resolution. All very good goutlo- mon, as (hr as you went. But pursuit that ebaptor a little further, until you come to Mr.‘Brown's amendment.— Her* It was sought to- make u practical tost or the doctrine of protection i and — bly no more suitable or needful ion will occur again In tlio history of tliogovemmnnt. And how thepron- osltlon met? But throo of the “over faithful" had tho boldness to voto for the amoudmuut. And arc theso tho men, and this tlio party we are called upon to support, arid to oxpoot protec tion front ?
