■TATE CONVENTION OF THE BOGUS
DEMOCRACY.
Below we give a synopsis of the say
ings and doi.igsofthe recent State Con
vention of the so-called Democracy,
which we copy from the Hilledgeville
correspondence of the Chronicle &
Sentinel. We publish this as a part of
the history of the times, and not for the
purpose of animadversion jdst at this
time. Is it not a little strange, though
that these Bogus Democrats should con
tinue to denounce “ those horrid oaths,'
“ midnight secresy,” &c. &c., when all
men know that they have long since
passed away and ceased to exist here!
A late number of the Washington Un
ion contains, and speaks approvingly of,
the proceedings of a Democratic meet
ing lately held at Philadelphia, we be
lieve, at which the candidates fur office,
as well as voters, were individually
sworn!! 1
Perhaps it is these . Philadelphia De
mocrats their Bogus brethren of
miration and entire confidehee^T General
Pierce’s re-noraination.
Mr. Linton Stephens proposed to add
to the above, “Provided, he shall stand
pledged to carry out our platform in his
administration and his appointments to
ojice.” Mr. Spalding accepted the nro. nft
meuts at first, but upon the reading of
the whole as amended,lie said the appoint
ments were such a small matter, he hop
ed the_ gentleman would not .insist on
including them. Mr. Stephens did insist
however, and emphatically; and thus
were the entire Pierce compliments made
to depend on contingencies.
No. 5 Georgia should stand by the
rights of the-pro-sla very .men in Kansas
and rally to their support.
No. 6. Endorses the action of the Con
gressmen from Georgia in sticking to

Which nominations were confirmed
iby the Convention. The only addition
al business transacted to cloy lias been
the appointment of a committee—at
■first cf 21—but since increased incalcula
bly—to draft resolutions, and so forth ;
-and the election, by the Conventson. of
■four delegates for the >tate at large,
.and two from each Congressional District
nominated by the respective delegates,
subject to ratification by the Convention
—to represent the parly in the Cincin

The Convention adjourned to 7 P.
M., this evening. I have no time for
-comment,except to say .that the Chamber
of Deputies is a model of order, com
pared with the Convention to-day, and
that there has been an absolutely frantic
- demand for places to Cincinnati.
Milledgeville, Jan. 16.
Not having time to give you an ac
count of the processes, I shall content
. myself for the present with the results,
-or in other words the Resolutions of
the Democratic and Anti-Know Noth
ing Convention. 1 have not been able
to procure a copy of them in full, to
■send by this mail, but give you the sub
stance, as follows:
No. I. Endorses the action of the 8th
of November last by the party, at their
.meeting in this city, and instructs the
‘Cincinnati Delegates to stand thereby.
No. 2. Denounces the dead and buri
ed oaths and secrecy bugbears ; is agin
proscription on account of birth-place or
-religion, (and consequently takes in all
Ethiopia and Heathendom,) and invites
members of the American party to come
into the Democratic fold, through the
.Kansas-Nebraska door.
No. 3. Glorifies Gen. Pierce and his
'Message, forgetful that Mr. Marcy talked
•a* prettily once before as he does now
(The Convention is run road about the
^President’s late Message. Pierce stock
sis the best in market—then Dallas—then
Jluchanan. I believe there is no Dick-
Jnson stock. Cobb stock is not offering,
J>ut is quoted high.)
■No. 4. States tliatjihe Convention has
is, decided preference, but the 9th Reso
lution of the 8lh of November prevents
Ahem from exercising it. Ti.is resolu
lion caused quite, a squabble. Judge
Jackson proposed as a substitute:
Resolved, That while a majority of ibis
Conveniion |do now prefer Franklin
J*ierce as the next candidate for the
Presidency, yet we have no instructions
<o give our delegates, save to vote for
the man, who, standing on our platform,
can carry the most votes.
After a long debate, this was jwitb-
drawn, and substitute for it, offered ' by
Mr. Spalding, of McIntosh, adopted, as
>tn addenda to the 4lh resolution. The
addenda states that this Convention does
; yiot wish to embarrass that of Cincinnati,
4>ut is unable to refrain (rom expressing
rite gratitude to General Pierce, fur his
late bold positions; and that the Slate of
Georgia will hail with “unbounded ad-

AMERICANISM IN NEW YORK.
The New York Tribune says :
‘•Whatever may he (lie fact elsewhere.
Pro-Slavery Hunkerism is here a rul
ing idea with the contrivers and man
agers of the self-stylf'd ‘‘American”
party. Of the One Hundred Thousand
voters who sustained the Hard-Shell
Democratic ticket in 1653, more than
half are this day members of Know
Nothing lodges, and voted for Headley &
Co. in our last t-Ieciion. Hence, in good
part, the slim vote for Bronson last year,
and for all the Hards not on the liquor
ticket this year. With thesejare united
our Silver Greys, with scarcely an ex
ception ; and these congenial souls rule
the “order” without fear of resistance to
their schemes. Hatred of “Seward” and
“Sewardism” is their leading, common
impulse : and two-thirds of our Whig
magnates of ten to twenty years ago are
now deep in ‘‘Sam’s” counsels,, trusting
thereby to accomplish the downfall of the
man they most envy and hate.”
Revolutionary Pensioners.—The
number of this venerable and patriotic
band grow3 less and less. It is now
reduced to 726. The number of revolu
tionary widows receiving pensions is
5,552.
A House Made of Old Hats.—
An ingeuious hatter in Paris has con
structed a house <-f fell, made out of
24.000 old hats. This house contains
parlors, dining and bed rooms and a
kitchen. It is erected upon a platform,
upon the plan of St. Dennis and cqn be
transported from place to place.
We are acquainted with a printer
who is so enthusiastic in his business,
that he never sits down to dinner without
insisting on seeing a proof of the pud
ding-’
Mr. Page recently killed a tiger in
Jefferson comity, Ga.,
hundred and twenty-six pounds, and
measuring nearly seven feet ?‘from the
tip of the snout to the end oflhe tail.
To Tell Good Eggs.—If you de
sire to be certain that your'eggs are
good and fresh, put them itt wafer—if the
butts turn, up they are not fresh. This
is an infallible rule to distinguish a good
egg from a bad one. ;!
Lynching.—An old man was re
cently robbed on the steamer Express,
plying on the Mississippi river. The
guilty parties were soon after-arrested,
and tried under the Judge Lynch code,
with a display of much forensic elo
quence, and the sentence of the jury
was faithfully executed—one person
receiving 150 lashes, another 50. They
were then set ashore.
(STlt is said that Mr. Buchanan ex
presses an opinion in his letters, that
peace will be concluded before spring.
Mayor Wood’s visitors, on new year’s
day, partook, daring the two hours re

tdp*A good anecdote is told of one of
the Chippewa Indians nonf at the North.
He was asked why Indians did not copy
the dress of our people. He replied:
“Me thinks we started your fashions:
your men now wear blankets, as we do,
and your women paint their faces and
wear feathers j”
TRIBUTE TO JUDGE BERRIEN.
The following beautiful and feeling
tribute to the memnry of Judge Ber
rien, by our gifted townsman,'Jndge
Joseph II. Lumpkin, will he read’with
interest. It is a part of the proceedings
of tlife Supreme C.»uit in S ivannah;
last week, when the death of Judgp Ber
rien was announced and an adjourn
ment moved. We copy from the Be
publican:
Judge Lumpkin in behalf of the
Court responded as follows
This Court receives the proceedings
of the Bar, in regard to the late Hon.
John Macpherson Berrien, with pro
found emotion. We cordially unite
wiih the Bar and the people of the
whole-State in the expression of deep
regret for his death, in admiration of
his talents—his patriotism and private
virtues.
This is no‘ the occasion—nor. is it for
me to consider and discuss at length
the character and merits of the deceas
ed. The performance of that duty,
with which the Bar of this place has
appropriately charged itself, inn.-t be
deferred to another opportunity ; and
has been, or will be committed to abler
hands. And this is right. This com
munity, who knew his manner of life
from his youth up, saw him face to face
for fifty years and more, in the able and
faithfhl performance of his various du
ties; and it is for them to appreciate
fully all his worth, and to dwell with
melancholy affection upon bis trans-
iendanl excellencies.
But the whole Stale has sustained an
irreparable loss. Who in Georgia had
attained to his full stature ? As ar law
yer and a citizen, who will dispute with
the premiership? What completeness
and harmony <>f organization of the
mental, moral and physical nature ? lie
aimed at noble ends, and pursued them
by none other than honorable means.
Whatever he attempted he did well.—
Nothing half-done ever came from liis
bands; for as uncommon as were his
grent abilities, his industry was stilt
more extraordinary.
Who can estimate the impulse and
advance which he gave to the cause of
legal learning in this city and circuit
and throughout the land ? Reference
has been made to his service? in the
councils of the nation. Permit me to
say, upon competent authority, that his
constitutional arguments in the Senate
of-the U»:i?c-d States were exhaustive of
the subjects which he discussed: and
that, on such occasions, no member
was deferred to more in that body. Hi
logic was the clearness of perfect day
approaching the certainty of innthemat
ical demonstration
Judge Berrien was a striking exam
ple of the love of the law, supposed by
so many not to he altogether lovely
and his attachment, instead of wavering
seemed to wax warmer and warmer un
der the pressure of super-added years.
Hence his brilliant and triumphant suc
cess. He had many cotemporaries at
ihe Supreme Court Bar of the Union
Johiison, of Maryland; Badger, of
North Carolina; Crittenden, of Ken
tu'cky, and such like; but yet we may
say, that while thinking of these gifted
men, we feel new and increased pride
in the consumm-te lawyer, whom we
have lost. Had he been placed upon
the Bench of that Court, for the head
ship of which he was so pie-emiueniiy
qualified, his judicial fame would have
been measured by that of Mansfield
and Kent, and Story, in this country.
But our father and frifcnd is g->ne.—
He has taken his place high in the same
firmament whence beam the milder glo
ries of‘the he oved and lamented Charl
ton. His race is run. His course is
finished. For him, earth has no longer
any future. He is beyond change—
beyond chance. His home is Heaven.
Is it not well with him ? He died
happy and in the bosom of his family,
full of years and full of honors, liis
bright sun has set. Far above us—lie
dwells in a world where there is no
night!
The last time I saw Judge Berrien
was under my own roof—the sunshine
. ,. - of the festive circle, and seeming *• to
weig mg one breathe a second Opting.” But we shall
see him no more in ihe flesh How
difficult to realize this sad truth ! Seek
h:in at the domestic hearth, the office,
the Court room, the Cabinet Council
The “ Monroe Doctrine ” is com
pressed ir. the sentence of. one of Mr.
Monroe’s messages, “ that the Ameri

A. PaRAObaph on Cats.—Bayard
Taylor, in his “New Volume of Travels,”

Of tRe cats of Aleppo!
•‘The other remarkable thing here is
ihe hospital for cats. This was founded
long ago by a rich rat-loving Mussulman,
and is,one of the best endowed institu
tions in’ that city. An old Mosque*is'
appropriated to that purpose, under the
charge of several directors, and here
sick cats are nursed, homeless cats find
shelter, and decrepit cats gracefully purr
away thfeir declining years.
“ The whole eafegoryernbraces several
hundreds, and it is . quiie a sight to be
hold the corridors and -terraces of the
mp-que swarming'wish them. Here,
one with bruised limbs is receiving
cataplasm : there, a cataleptic patient is
tenderly cared for, and so on through
the longconcatenation.offeline diseases.
Aleppo, moreover, rejoices in a greater
number ol cats than even Jerusalam. At
rough guess, I should thus state the
population of the city: Turks and Arabs,
70,000; Christian- of all. denominations
15,000, Jews, 19,000; dogs, 12,00Q;cats,
8,000.”

the Senate Chamber, the Sanctuary, and
the s-ilrtmi response from each is. “he
not here, he is risen.”
We shall never again witness the il
lumination of that countenance, which
whep lighted in the glow of his mind,
was almost supernatural. We shall no
more listen to the silvery eloquence of
those lips, “upon which the bees of
Hybla might bave rested.”
But we forbear. The theme is ex-
haustless. That deep feeling of sorrow
should be entertained, when one thus
virtuous and accomplished is stricken
down by death, is natural; and that an
expresssion of these feelings and a just
tribute of regard for the deceased,
should be preserved on the records of
this Court, of which he was so distin
guished an ornament, is most meet and
proper. We therefore order the resolu
tions to be en ered of record; and, that
the Court do adjourn for the day.

The great and important events—religions.
Political, and Military—now agitating the
ations of lhe Old World, give to tlie.se Pub
lications an interest aud value they never
before possessed. They occupy a middle
ground between the hastily written news-
iieras. crude speculations, and flying rumors of
the newspaper, and tha ponderous tome of
the historian, written long after the living in
terest in the facts he records shall have pass
ed away. The progress of the War in the
East occupies a large space hi their pages.
Every movement is alosely'crisici-ed, wheth
er of friend or of foe, and all short comings
fearlessly poiuted out. The letters from the
Crimea aud the Baltic in Blackwood's Maga
zine, from two of its most popular contribu
tors, give a more intelligible and reliable ac
count of the great belligerents tbau can
elsewhere be found.
These Periodicals ably represent the three
jreat political parties of Great Britain-
Whig, Tory and Radical—but politics forms
only one feature of their character. As Or
gans of the most profouud writers on Scien
tific Literature, Morality and Religion, they
stand, as they ever have stood, unrivalled i i
the world ot letters, being considered indis
pensable tu the scholar and the professional
