Bibb Democratic Meeting.
Pursuant to previous notice, a large and re
spectable portion of the Democratic party of
Bibb convened at the Court Honso, in this city
on Thursday, the 3d inst, for the purpose of
appointing Delegates to the Democratic State
Convention, to lie held in Milledgeville on the
first Tuesday in May.
On motion of S. J. Ray, the meeting was or
ganized by calling John Hailey, Esq., to the
chair, and the appointment of P. Tracy to act
ns secretary.
The meeting having been organized, the chair
man Stated its objects; when, on motion of Col.
T. Bailey, a committee of nine was appoin
ted to prepare n preamble and resolutions, and
report the same to the meeting.
In pursuance of this motion, the Chair ap
pointed the following gentlemen as that commit
tee, to-wit: Col. S. T. Bailey, N. Bass, A. R.
McLaughlin, D. M. Dun woody, W. Lawshe, R.
A. L. Atkinson, A. Dessau, Johnathan Wilder,
and Dr. J. T. Cox.
The committee having retired for a short lime
returned and reported the following resolutions
which were unanimously adopted '.
Resolve/!, That wc are members of the Dem
ocratic parly because that party has ever based
its creed on the Virginia and Kentucky Resolu
tions of 1708 and 1709.
Resolved, That the only safety for the Union,
and for liberty, is in the careful preservation of
State Rights and State sovereignty; that con
solidation and central power is the fountain of
all despotism, and lias been the grave of liberty
in all ages and all countries of the world.
Resolved, That but two great parties have
ever existed in this Confederacy, called in the
beginning Federal and Democratic; one the
party of consolidation and central power, ami
the other the party of Stato sovereignty,
matter how the party of power have changed
their name, from time to time, to catch the pop
ular breeze, their principles have never changed.
Rrsolrrd, That all the calamities that have
befallen the south, or that threaten to overwhelm
her, are the work of the Federal party and their
ignorant tools; that the South would have lost
none of her rights, and have nothing now to
fear if the old State Rights Democratic princi
ples had always prevailed.
Resolved, 'Flint the calamities which have
befallen us of late, and have shaken to its cen
tre, our otherwise happy country, have all arisen
from a departure from the Democratic State
Rights creed. All the South asks 01 needs, or
ever will need, is State Rights, is practice—not
alone in promise.
THE PATRIOT.
TUbrtnn, ©eorgin:
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 13^1832..
To-morrow is St. Valentino** Day, and Leap
Year at that—a trying time for old bachelors.
A friend in Bibb county Inis sent us the
names of a few gentlemen, to whom he desires
us lo send a copy of the Patriot, with the belief lhat l’ lrt * jn ,ho Northern States
that they would like to become subscribers.— ‘‘WS.affecting the rights of the slave-holding
. The Duty or Southern Men.
We appeal to every Southern man, whatever
may have been bis political party associations^
to consider well the present position, politically,
of Parlies, of Stales, and of the* Union, and then
to determine what is his duty as a patriot as
•well as a- Southern man.
The Whig party has been declared by its
friends in.the Southern States to be defunct, and
we shall so consider it. The truths stated by
Mr. Toombs, concerning the utter rottenness of

We shall be gratified to add them to. the list of
our patrons, and shall send the paper with the
request that they will return it if they do not
like it.

Episcopal Church Ordination. .
We learn that Bishop Elliot, with several of
the Episcopal Clergy, will attend the Church at
this place on Sunday 22d of February, at which
time Rev. J. II. George will be Ordained for the
office of the Priesthood. A Sermon, wjll be de
livered by Bishoji ^Elliot gn the occasion, and
it is expected that services will be held at the
Academy several teveiiings previous to the day
of ordination.

Our market, during the present week has been

Planters arnd Planting.
Our Planters are experiencing, to some ex
tent, the evils of neglecting the grain and pork
crops, and depending on others for these neces
States-, and the fact that no party in the South
ern States could longer associate with them po
litically, have not, and cannot, be denied; the
facte, are known and acknowledged by all.
In the recent organization of Southern men
into a Constitutional Union party, and a South
ern Rights party, -the former succeeded by a
large majority. The latter acquiesced; made
the decision of the State their own, and disban
ded their sectional organization. The men who
composed the Southern Rights party, have taken
position in the Democratic party, as the only
National party which is pledged to a strict con
struction of the: Constitution, the presentation
of the’rights of the States, and the maintenlricej
of the equal privileges of all classes of our citi-
A part of the meli who. composed the
Constitutional Union party, propose to continue
that party organization, bat they are divided
among themselves as to the objects which they
are to accomplish. ‘ A part of them declare they
are, and ever have been, Democrats,, and will
send delegates to the Baltimore Convention,
and will vote for its nominees for President and
and Vice President. Others denounce this poli
cy, and propose a distinct National Convention;
TJie Porposes jan.4 Workings of the C.Tl.
Party.
„ The eventual purposes: of the wire-workers
of the CX.IJJ Party' is bring' developed, and if
we have 'not mistaken the material of which the
rank aniTfile, and even some of the prominent
men, of that party is composed, the distinct an-
nouncement of these purposes will defeat the
objects of the. schemers,’ by. leaving them too
few in ^number to accomplish their ambitious
designs.
The first purpose of the C. U. Party leaders
seemedto be, to unite with the Democratic Re
publican Party, in which they expected to be
invited to the chief seats. Their sincerity was
evidenced, by the truths which they publicly an
nounced, concerning parties at the North. They
acknowledged the Federal and Abolition char
acter of the Whig Party, and declared that they
could never again unite with them in political
association, whilst they extolled the compara
tive . isqundness of the Democratic Party, and
declared it to he the duty ef southern men to
unite with that Party. At the commencement
of thepresent session of Congress, it was un
derstood that Mr. Toombs was to take the in
itiatory step of union with the Democrats, by
assisting in a. Democratic organization of the
House of Representatives. The simple circum-
stftrif$e*,'tharthe Democratic Caucus refused to
entertain a resolution concerning the Compro
mise, because they believed a convention was
the proper body to consider that question, and
fact that a whig caucus endorsed the com
promise, and thus offered to pay the price which
the wire-workers had set for the support of the
C. U. Party—took Mr. Toombs aback, and left
all the leaders enveloped in fog for a time. But
the old Democrats and State Rights men of the
Wire-Workers—The Constitutional Colon
••Party.;
There is a class of politicians, technically
known as Wire-workers, who* stand behind.the
scenes and attempt to move the people about at
their will, and for their own benefit^ just as
showmen handle puppets. It is from this class
of politicians that the people have had reason
to apprehend danger to their rights and their
institutions in the past history of our country,
and it is against their plots and selfish schemes
of agrandizement that they must guard, in the
present and the future. .
Those who have watched the movements of
the Wire workers of the Constitutional Union
party, must be convinced that the efforts of
these men to continue a political organization,

Mail Boat J. Jenkins.
The Apalachicola Commercial Advertiser
thos speaks of the Steamboat which is to carry
the tri weekly mail between Bainbridge and Ap
alachicola:
Mail Boat—“ J. Jenkins” is thc name of the
new boat lately brought from the west by Capt.
Allen. She is of light draught, well built, ele*
antly furnished, and in all respects admirably
qualified for tbe trade for which she is intend
ed. About one thousand bales is her freight-
bearing capacity. We learn that it is the in
tention of Capt. A. to have another boat built
forthwith, to run in connertion with the Jenkins.
'Hie mail facilities afforded by the new arrange
ment will no doubt prove greatly advantngaous
to the business of oar flourishing city.

Important Requisites in a Wife.
A knowledge of domestic duties is beyond nil
price to a woman. Every one of the sex ought
to know how to sew, and knit, and mend, and
cook and superintend a household. In every
situation of life, high or low, this sort of knowl
edge is of great advantugc. There is no nuces-
ity that the gaining of such information should
interfere with intellectual acquirements, or even
uuong them.
