Military Encampment.
The Macon Journal & Messenger
suggests that the encampment and
review of all the volunteer companies
of the State which it is proposed to
| ^ 1| , have sometime during the approach
ing summer, shall be held either at
Athens or Clarkesvilic. We think
the suggestion a good one—and can
Assure our friends of the low country
and Middle Georgia that a “hearty
highland welcome’’ awaits them. 'V.
We would amend. the suggestion
of the Messenger by saying Athens
and CbrkesviMe or Gainesville. It
would be a very pleasant excursion
for the citizen soldiers of the low coun
try, and would arouse in this section
of the State the now dormant milita
ry spirit of our people.
llarrafor Old Troop.
The Constitutional men of Troup
county, as wo learn from the Jlepor
ter, held a spirited mect : ng in La-
Grange on Tuesday of last week,
which adopted a patriotic report and
resolutions, favoring the National
Constitutional Union party and an
early call of a State Convention.
This U, so far as we have noticed, the
first meeting of the kind held in the
Stato. ItHs meet and proper that
gallant OH Troup should lead the
van. They know how* to roll np a
big majority on election day.
years past—“a united South.” But
will they do this thing? We have
not the remotest, idea that they will.
The leaders of the Democracy have
been so long'halntuated to trimming
their sails to suit the popular breese
i—they have been so long accustom
ed to being “all things to all men”
for the sak ’ of the spoils—they have
so often presented a Janus-faced plat
form, one face looking to the North
and the other to the South—that we
do not expect them to present a fair,
open, honest, manly avowal of prin
ciples, susceptible of lint one con
struction.
We are ready to grant that some
of them are honest and earnestly de
siring'to pacify the country and once
more put to rest the exciting ques
tion which now distracts it ; hut a
large majority of them subordinate
the interests of the country to those
of party , and arc hence looking alone
£o success. They care not for prin
ciples—thoy have none, eave the five
loaves and two fishes. They will
therefore look alone to the availabil
ity ol their candidate. Viewed from,
the stand-point of availability, Judge
Douglas is, unquestionably, tlicir man
for the Presidency. lie has greater
personal strength than any other man
in the party. They consider his elec
tion certain, while the defeat of any
other man in the party is almost as
sure. The majority will therefore
go for Douglas. It is true, there has
been some opposition manifested to
wards him at the South—indeed, very
bitter opposition; but they know how
easy it is to whip refractory members
of the party back into the ranks!—
Presuming upon their ability to 'do
this thing, there is certainly a very
strong probability that Douglas will
be the nominee placed upon the Cin
cinnati squatter-sovereignty plat
form.
Sam Houston’s Invasion of Mexico.
A statement to the effect that Gov.
Houston, of Texas, intends to march
into Mexico shortly at tho head of a
strong military force, has been going
the rounds of the press for some
time past. We don’t know whether
there is one word of truth in it; but
•rom what we know of the facts of
the case qnd the character of the
man, we are not prepared to de
nounce the report as unfounded.
It is well known, that for some
months past bands of Mexican out
laws have been harassing tho bor
ders of Texas, and committing dep
redations upon the property of citi-
sens. Fruitless complaints have beon
made to the Government at Wash
ington and a redress of these griev
ances demanded. The Government
has virtually, done nothing. Such a
man as Houston, under such circum
stances, would not hesitate to march
into the Mexican territory and in
flict summary punishment upon
these marauders, nor are we sure he
would stop at this. He would be
joined .by thousands of adventurers
from the States, and probably “revel
in the Halls of the Montezumas’’ be
fore the affair was ended!
Fruit of the Kansas-Nebraska Bill.
From-the telegraph' we Team as
follows:
“St. Louis, February 28.—The bill
abolishing slavery in Kansas has
passed the Legislature over the veto
of Gov. Medary, by a vote of thirty
to seven.”
And this, says tho Memphis En
quirer, is just in accordance with
what Mr. Douglas and his political
“boillc holders,” Shields and ltich
aroson, upon their return to Illinois,
in 1854, declared to be the intention,
and promised would be the inevitable
effect, of a measure which conserva
tive statesmen, of all parties, de
nounced from tht- first, as a “Pandora’s
Box” of political fraud. Yet, the
dominant party at the South accept
ed ir as a boon for which tho South
should be grateful; and, worse still,
arc now pressing its author upon us
as the only man who can save South
ern institutions, Southern rights, and
Southern honor, against our enemies!
If a tree is to be judged by its ffhits,
what measure, we ask (not even ex-
avid Wilmot's own Pro
ild have, proved more inimical
slavery interest, than this
i-Nebniska Bill ? And the elec
tion of what man, (not excepting
Fremont himself) would have done
more for the advancement of Free-
soilism ? We pause for a reply.
Tho Is He?
The boy is now living, who will be
President in 1900. He is about ten
or twelve years of age. His parents
are in humble circumstances, but of
sterling traits of character, and their
son is not ond of those dirty', noisy
hoys that spend their days and Sabr
baths in idleness and rowdvism. On
the contrary, he is of n serious cast,
is very studious, and withal is well
behaved. £jfSp. ■'
Boys, vlo you hear that ? " As it is
impossible now to tell who the favor
ed individual is, and much will de- J
pend upon his future conduct, it is o'
the utmost importance that you shall
*11 do your best. The boy wbefis to
be President in 19Q0y is studious, en
ergetic and industrious—obedient to
his parents—loves truth—never’sayB
“I can’t”—and niiverruns about the
streets after night! Now, mark !'
iring,‘.'from which we make the fol
lowing extract^, -torwhich we call the
„r’. r.
especial ( attcntit>n oF our Democratic
friends-: '
“We arc surprised; 4 - not only that
out Union Democratic , friends will
call theirs the only Union party, hut
that they are endeavoring to throw
cold wajer on the new party move- once call a State Convention for
the purpose of appointing delegates
ment, and even sneer at and scorn
it. They otight . to recollect that it
was the Fillmore party in 1856
that saved them from defeat, and
prevented the election of' Fremont.
Instead of opposing, they ought to
encourage the Union party, for if it
can do no more, it fhny enure to
their benefit, by drawing off votes
enough in some of the Northern We copy from the Chronicle $ Sfen-
Statcs to give them .a plurality.
“Whatever the people generally
may think of such a. policy, it is clear
that the Democrats are the last men
in the world to discoura ge it- Again,
these Democrats should be very can*
'tious how. they speak of the new par
ty, because it is not impossible that
tiiey may need all our aid—in fact, it
is' highly probable that they’ will
have to come to us at the eleventh
hour, and they will pray in vain for
xlie power to blot out what has been
done.
“Suppose; for instance—and all
must confess this may occur—that
the Charleston Convention nominate
Douglas on the Cincinnati platform,
will' these Democratic friends sup
port him ? Assuredly not. Then
what 13 to be done ? Why; the De
mocrats may say they will nominate
a Southern man on a sound platform,
such as the Georgia and Alabama
Democracy, and the Georgia Opposi
tion of 1859 all endorse. But then,
they must have our vote to elect their
man. But if, in the event first sup
posed, the Union party puts forward
jnst such a platform as the South
ern Democrats can endorse, and the
nominee be a Southern Democrat,
will not our good friends come into
the Constitutional Union party, now
so innch derided ? Will they not be
willing then to unite with us, to save
the Union, and to save themselves.
“Or, suppose the Charleston nom
inee be a Southern man on a sound
Southern platform, and tho Black
Douglas bolts, and hoists the stan
dard of revolt. Will you not be
stoeef then upon tho Union men of
the South, in face of the declaration
made a few days ago by the Colum
bus Times that the Southern Amer
icans are going for Douglas ? Wc
have command of the field, little as
you think of it, and scoff, ami deride,
and spurn us as you may, the hour
may come when wc shall “mock at
your calamity, and laugh when your
fear cometh.” It is unpleasant we
know, to our Democratic friends, but
the fact is the Constitutional Union
party is the Warwick in this contest,
and if ~we can not make a President
of our own, we can dictate terms to
those who deride us, and we intend
to do it.”

tinel the following remarks in refer
ence to the National Convention: -
“ Wc sincerfefyhope, however, that
every Stale may take-immediate steps
to be there represented, and that by
the ablest, wisest, most prudent and
patriotic citizens, regardless of form
er political distinctions. It certnjn-
!y must be manifest to the-Meast
thoughtful, that the Union party.'if
composed only of the existing Amer
ican, Whig or Opposition party of
the South, and the anti Republican
Opposition of the North, stands not
the shadow of a chance to do any
thing valuable. It cannot succeed
without recruits from all the existing
parties, as everybody must see, and
these recruits must be got to begin
with. The great desire of the Union
party, as wc take it, is to defeat the
Republicans, and tints preserve the
Union, by maintaining the constitu
tion intact, and enforcing the laws
made in pursuance thereof, as adjudg
ed by the Supreme Court. We hon
estly believe that the Democrats par
ty, though many of its partisans claim
it to bo the only party which can de
feat the Republicans, is utterly una
ble to beat the latter, except by {be
coming equally as odious, and equally
as dangerous, to the pence of the couri-'
try, and the perpetuity of our insti
tutions. In other words, the Demo
crats can only defeat the Republicans
adeept Judge Douglas as her candi
date, when the South will have to
famish three-fourths of the votes in
the Electoral Colleges which are to
secure his election ?- If availability
be the rule, Judge. Douglas should
not fj| the candidate. ' . ^
This contest should tie waged square
ly upon the constitutional rights of the
South—no compromise of principle
with : friend or foe. If.principle is to
rule in the selection of a candidate,
he ciin with no propriety ho thrust
upon the South. \ ■
It is an insult to the South to ask
her to vote for him, for it implies
apl
that she will eellhor principles for a
false triumph, or yield them through
fear of her enemies. It is offering to
force on her tho humiliating alter
native of accepting Judge Douglas
or a Black Republican, lie hassaid
he wifi be the candidate of the De
mocratic party vrti the Cincinnati plat;
form, and not otherwise. His coa :
struction of that platform is, that it
recognizes liis doctrine of squatter or
popular sovereignty, 4 by which . the
South would be roost-effectually and
forever depri ved of any share in the
Common Territories of the. United
States. If the South accepts him as
her candidate for President under
such circumstance#, she unquestion
ably endorses squatter soverignty.
The distinguished Senator from India
na, Mr. Fitch, in his speech of the 2d
instant in the Senate, presented this
matter in its true light:
“If the South nominate the Sen
ator alluded to [Mr. Douglas,] with
his present view?, the- entire North
will deem the act an expression of
willingness upon their part that liis
views shall become tbe future settled
policy of the Government; tbe united
North will act upen that policy, carry
! it out to the full, and no aid must be
expected by the South from any
portion of the North in any effort
they may thereafter make to prevent
by proving themselves better freescil- the progress of that policy to the end.
Such
ers than the Republicans,
defeat would only make tnattors
worse and worse, and would bo only
another name for the triumph of the
enemies of the Union—which are in
fact the same. Cannot Democrats
understand and appreciate this thing
in its true light?- We hope so.—
What matters it to the people, which
wing of the anti-sin vervists, the Re
publicans or the Freesoil Democrats
succeed ? The South, and the North
too, should abandon them both, for,
in our honest judgment, we shall ne
ver have permanent peace, security
and safety, until both are defeated or
re-organized!

Letter from the Hon. MlUedgc L. Bon
ham of South Carolina.
Washington City, Feb. 24j 1860.
Dear Siii:—Unavoidable circum
stances'have prevented my answering
sooner your letter asking my views
as to the Charleston Cpuventipri.—
This must now be an answer ihSnours
and to others making similar en
quiries on the same subject.
It is known to my constitnenls that
l favor, while I do not urge, the State
being represented in the Charleston
Convention. The system does not
command my approbation as a mode
of selecting a candidate.* If it wore
a new question, I should not advocate
its inauguration. The Congressional
caucus system would at this day be
better, as the nomination would be
made alone by the representatives of
Democratic constituencies. The fact
that the Democratic candidate (Mr,
Douglas not excepted, should he be
nominated) will, in the next election,
probably not receive one of the ninety-
one votes to be c&st in the Electoral
Colleges by New England,.New York,
Michigan, Iowa, and Wisconsin,
makes it still more objectionable,
even with the king settled two-thirds
rule as a part of its organization. v
Thinking we may still participate
in their deliberations, recent political
events makc-it, for various reasons, a
matter of vast consequence that the
State, should be correctly represented
in tbe Charleston Convention.
Extraordinary efforts are now be
ing made to secure the nomination of
Judge Douglas to the high office of
President. And whilst there is .no
little .of brag in the announcements
made by partisan presses of his
strength before that body, I believe
it is admitted that by. aid of the votes
ho will be able to get from the Black
When by such act it establishes his
policy, the South, and the Senator
from Illinois [Mr. Douglas] will have
done more to accomplish the favorite
and avowed scheme of tho Republi
can party than any effort of that
party could have done—the scheme
of surrounding the Southern States
with free territory, and starving out
their institution ; for under tli t po
licy,; organize a territory where you
may, whether it be in Dakota of the
North, or Arizona of the South, the
bold, adventurous, non-slaveholding
frontiersmen of the West, whose
movables include no luxuries, whose
necessaries arc readily supplied with
tho axe and the vifie, will go into the
territory, possess themselves of its
legislature, and exclude Southern
property, while the owners of that
property are paeking up their house
hold goods aud preparing their chat
tels for removal.”
Let the South claim the just mea
sure of her rights under the Constitu
tion in .that Convention, and accept
nothing less. We can much better
sustain such measures before the
country, even at the North, than such
us concede any portion of those con
stitutional rights. The friends we
have at the North can better sustain
themselves at home on such a platform
than on one “sectioually. unjust and
unconstitutional
The gallant State of Alabama has
taken a high and patriotic stand in
defence of the rights of the. South,
apd has instructed her delegates to
the Charleston Convention to insist
upon tbe protection, by every depart
ment of the Government, of the rights
of the owners of slave property in the
Territories; that the sumo shall be
part of the platform of that Conven
tion before going into the nomination
for President and Yice-President;
upon the refusal of the Convention to
adopt, in substance, the Alabama
platform, her delegates are instructed
to withdraw therefrom.
Such should be the position of
every Southern State; and if we can
not secure the appointment to the
Charleston Convention of delegates
who will sustain the movement of
Alabama, it will be far better that
we should not be represented at all.
Very respectfully, yours,
M.L. Bonham.
