Why the Southern Democracy are
bound to insist on Protection.
They cannot honorably, and with justice
to their own sretion, give up their demand
for the equal protection of the property of
slaveholders in the Territories, for the
reason tint tho Democratic Convention at
Charleston so repeatedly atiJ emphatically
volod down their claim ; and for the further
rennou that the candidate for the Presidency
who received a majority of the votes of that
Convention is a persistent ond clamorous
claimuiil of the right of tho Territorial
“sovereigns” to exclude slavery by “un
friendly local legislation.” IIo soys that
this is the otlirinunce of the Kan*aa-Ne-
hrasku uet and the Cincinnati Platform ;
und the Charleston Convention re-affirmed
that net and that platform, and sustained
by a majority vote the cindidalo who thus
construed them—sustained him and them
by the votes of the same delegates, nearly
all of them being Northern votes.
Some Southern Democrats, who ate now
willing to abandon this claim for tbfl sake
of party “harmony,” are at the same lime
urging as an objection to our National
Union Convention that it did not demand
protection ! It never voted it down, nor did
a single delegate in it, from North or South,
utter a word or cast a vote 'repudiating it.
Moreover, neither of our candidates ever
favored Douglas’ squatter sovereignly pro-
grammo by voice or vote, nor does anybody
suspect them of entertuining for it ^ny
favor. Our candidate for the Presidency
i* a slaveholder, born and residing in u slave
State, and he never in his life

Territorial Legislatures to do it, but ho ha*

We find in the proceedings of their
respective Conventions a remarkable con
trast of the feeling of (he Democratic and
{ Black Republican parties in ruferenco to
tins questiuu. Tho Northern majority in
the Democratic Convention were evidently
' anxious lo repudiate protection and to go
! before their people on tho strength of that
I repudiation ; while tho Black Republicans
' were solicitous to appear before the country

Tltc CJrent Subsidence.
The readers of the** columns oro nwarc
that we never had uny confidence in the
'backbone” cf the accession movement
commenced atCharlcaton. We have thought
and said, all the time, that the temporary
difficulty would ho easily adjusted at Haiti-
by some facile contrivance, a compro-
in name, but in reality a surrender on
tho part of the secedet*. We are now more
than ever convinced that such will he
the upshot of the Southern diversion. In
Georgia, wo regard the struggle ss already
Wo notico that some of our Opposi
tion friendo aro holding up tho hands of the
seceders and encouraging them to insiat
manfully an tho principle of protection.
Their sincere advocacy of this principle we
do not doubt; but we take this occasion to
give them our opinion that if ever they
establish that principle it will bo without
any material help from tho Democracy, and
that the only probable means of obtaining
it is by tho election of John Dull and the
rc-nlfirmance of and adherence to tho Ter
ritorial legislation of ISftO, which embraced
lha lull meusuie of “protection" that is
either attainable os necessary.
We say (hat we regard the question ns
settled, so fur as Georgia is concerned—she
will send delegates to Baltimore, nml sup
port the nominations there made. Tho
Constitutionalist's call for a “National'
contingent Convention at Mitledgcviiio i
unnecessary. We find in tho proceedings
of the several counties no indication of an
intention on the part of tho acccdcrs tc
perfect and adhere to an independent organ
ization. A large majority of the counties,
we believe, havo declared for the sending of
delegates to Baltimore. This county, which
is claimed for the secessionists, recommends
the appointment of delegates, who are sim
ply to stop at Richmond, on their way to
Baltimore, for consultation. And when we
look critically into the proceedings of most
of tho counties in which the secessionists
havo obtained an ostensible triumph, we

Trov, Ala., May 31,1860.
j\lr. Editor Erti/uirer : Wc hud the
pleasure of a visit on yesterday from Messrs.
Salisbury , Crolt and King, u committee ol
Aldermen, appointed recently by the City
Council ot Columbus, to enquire into tho
practicability and feasibility ol the proposed
chattgo of tho route of the (Mobile and
ard Railroad by this place. The Com
mittee was accompanied by Muj. Howard,
tho President of tho Road, who ti is known
lias been violently opposed to any altora-
jii ol tho prcscut route.
The Committee and the President were
cheerfully and cordially received by our
citizens, and the hospitalities of tho town
wore tendered to them during their stay
with us. A meeting was immediately called
and held at the Court House last night,
when the views and purposes of our citi
zens wero freely and fully discussed.
It wan clearly demonstrated that the in
terests of the Road—of Columbus, and of
tho citizens living South of the Conecuh
River, would bo materially advanced by
tho change suggested, il it should ho proved
at all practicable, as from tho point ol di
vergence proposed, to tho point where it is
supposed tho Road would ro'cross tho
river, tho land lying north ol tho river
is generally poor—is but sparsely settled,
and consequently would bo of but little
benefit to tho Road, while on tho other
band, it the routo were changed, and a
depot established upon this, the South side
ol the rivet, tho Road would command the
pntronogo ol a large, growing and prosper
ous section ol tho country, embracing tho
whole of this county, a portion ol Butbour
lying immediately east ol Pea River, a
large part ot Dale and Coilec, and a con
siderable portion ot Covington county,
which it cannot possibly get, ot least to
any very considerable extent, il tho route
should bo confined entirely north ot the
river, ns nl present laid out, it being well
known tliut during a largo portion ol the
business season tho river is almost impas
sable, consequently a largo i>ortion of 1J10
trade above referred to ih driven to Kufaula
or Geneva.
Besides, it is a fact that cannot bo de
nied, that llio Inst dollar has boon raised
that can bo in this county towards the ex
tension of llio Ruud, unless llio proposed
change is made; us lar us* this-county
is concerned, the further oxtousion of thu
Road depends upon tho pooplo residing
south of the Conecuh river. Wliut others
may do to advance the work 1 atu unuhlo
10 say, but Muj. Howard says that his
dependence is alono upon us. But if the
change is made, an impetus will bo given
to tho iiiidcriaking tliut will urouso our
people to action, which wilt bo greatly
bouuliciul to all llio intoiusts involved.
And 1 Icol authorized further to say, that
t the next meeting ol llio Stockholders
July, a resolution should be pa
adopting the change proposed by the >
Troy, that the subscription already >h>
raised, amounting to about $-10,000, w

Troy, Ala., Juno 1st, 1660.
To the City Council of Columbus:
Gentlemen t Tho cotnmitteo delegated
by you, to visit our town and confer with
people upon the questions involved in
tho change proposed to bo made in tho (Mo
bile fi. Girard Railroad, havo performed their
duty, und perhaps by this time made their
report, which must necessarily havo been
unsatisfactory, owing to tho circumstances
under which their investigation was mado.
When they arrivod bore no survey had been
made of tlie routo which will bo selected il
llio change is made. No estiinato of the
cost to bo incurred had boon counted which
could bo reliod upon with certainty. They
had presented to thorn but 0110 sido of the
question, and it lollowe ns a matter ut
course, they will not bo able to make u very
satisfactory report. It will bo too indefinite
to act upon. 1 propose in this short com
munication to stato a lew facte, which wero
not brought to tho kuowledgn ot your com
mittee, dial you may aci wisely in this
matter, and secure, in tho conclusion at
which you may arrive, tho host interest of the
Road, the best in:erost ol Columbus, and
ubovo ull thu best interest of 1’ike. In .t
meeting held by our citizens on tho evening
ol tho day your committee arrived, there
were four speeches made, fully presenting
that sido ol the question, which lavors tho
proposal change. All was said that cun
possibl^bo said in its favor, and 1 think a
great doul not authorized by tho facte. I
take it, that the visions of tho speakers ol
thu evening must havo been clouded, or
intercepted by some obstacle preventing a
fuir view of tho cuse. Perhups they looked
through a veil ol mtorcsi, which refracted
so much the rays rcflocted from the rca
tacts, us to present them to their cousiduru'
fnlso light; lor which, us il was
only in accordance with llio frailer parts ot
nature, they arc not to be so severely
censured.
In tho first place, it was asserted that
there were but lew mulconlciits in thu
county; Hint is, there wero but few opposed
to die proposed change, perhaps, not more
diaiL tun »*r a dozen. Il it was mount hy

jeet, it is simply a great mistake. 1 Hunk,
