LOVE’S REMEMBRANCE.
will remember thee—in that still hour
lV hen like a dream of beauty, from the west,
Heaven’s sweetest beam sheds down a golden daw.
er
Df light upon the waters—whose unrest
And moodiness might well be charmed away,
By the pure loveliness ofthat soft ray !
I will remember thee—when night hath thrown
Its dreams around the sleeper, and repose
Hath calmed the worn and aching spirit down
To brief oblivion of its waking woes ;
Tnen—when the deep silence reigneth overall,
My lonely thoughts thy image shall recall.
I will remember thee—when morn hath hung
Her banner on the hills—and kindling gleams
Ofsunlight, in warm diamond showers are flung
Upon the surface of the bounding strsams
Which move in their exulting course along,
Free as the murmurs of their own wild song.
I will remember thee—when summer’s sigh
Breathes o’er the mountains and the laughing
earth
Is zoned with roses—-while deep melody
Hath in the woods, with the wild flowers its birth
From joyous birds, who mid their green homes
there,
Pour forth their music on the clear blue air.
I will remembea thee—through many a scene
Os pleasantness and solitude ; for thou
pon my dark and troubled path hast been
A vision blest and cheering— —as the bow
That spans the thunder-cloud ; a thing oflight,
As eariy hope’s first dreamings pure and bright.
Freni the Star of the West.
THERE 13 A TIME TO DIE.
There is a time to die, to tread
With angel teet that flowery shore,
Beyond the region of the dead,
Where weary spirits weep no more 1
To die ! the spirit’s borne from night—
’Tis but the soul’s brief transit home—
An angel being’s peaceful flight
To bliss within the eternal dome.
0 then, the time to die is bright,
The skies serene and glorious fair,
The earth a smile of flowers and light,
And n ues of blissful hope all w ear.
O Father ! let me come to thae,
At the lio.y summer sunset time—
Amid this smile of heaven be,
When I quit this fair but transient clime !
Let music such as angels sing,
Steal softly on my dying ear,
And calm as fade the flowers of spring,
O let me pass from ail things here !

ONE GLASS TOO MUCH.
OR,—THE WIFE’S NIGHTCAP,
By “Nix in der Voids.” ‘'G
Mr* , i ,vho doesn’t live more than a
mile from the postoffice in this city, met
some “Northern friends with Southern
principles,” the other evening, and in ex
tend in g to ihom the hospitalities of the
“Crescent City,” visited so many of our
princely Saloons and “Marble Halls,” im
bibing spiritual consolation as they jour
neyed, that when he left them at their ho
tel at the midnight hour, he felt, decided
dedly felt,that he had “a brick in his hat.’
Now, lie has a wife, an amiable, accom
plished and beautiful lady, who loves him
devotedly, and finds but one fault with him.
That is, his too frequent visits to the palaces
where those “bricks” are obtained.
After leaving his friends. Mi paus
ed a moment, took his bearings, and hav
ing shaped a course, on the principle that
continual angles meet, made sail for home.
In due course of time, he arrived there,
and was not verj much astonished, but
rather frightened, to find his worthy lady
silting up for him. She always does.
She smiled when he came in That also,
she always does.
“How are you,dear E?” she said—“you
staid out so late,that I feared you had been
taken sick.”
*‘Hic—aint sick wife—b-but don’t
you th-think I’m—l’m a little t-tight?”
“A very little, perhaps, my dear—but
that is nothing—you have so many friends
as you say, you must join them in a glass
once in awhile!”
‘•Wife, you’re too good —th-the truth is,
I’m d—d d-drunk!’*
“Oh, no indeed, my dear—l’m sure that
even another glass wouldn’t hurt you.
Now suppose you take a glass of Scotch
ale with me, just as a nightcap, dear!”
“You are too kind d-dear, by hail —1
know I’m drunk!”
“Oh no—only a julep too much lore—
that’s all!”
..Yes—juleps—McMasters makes such
stifTuns!”
..Well—take a glass of ale at any rate,
it can’t hurt vou, dear; 1 want one before
1 retire!”
The lady hastened to open a bottle, and
as she placeJ two tumblers before her on
the side board, she put in one a very pow
erful emetic. Filling the glasses with
the foaming ale, she handed one to her
husband. .
Suspicion came cloudily uponhis mind.
She never before had been so kind when
he was drunk. He looked at the glass,—
raised it to his lips,—then hesitated.
“Dear, w-won’t you just taste mine,
ta make it sweet —sweeter!” said he.
‘‘Certainly, love!” replied the lady, tak
ing a mouthful, which she was careful not
to swallow.
Suspicion vanished, and so did the ale,
emetic and all, down the throat of the sat
isfied husband. After spitting out the taste
the lady finished her glass, but seemed in
no hurry to retire. She fixed a foot tub
of water before an easy chair, as if she in
tended to bathe her beautiful little feet
therein. But small as were those feat
there was not water enough in the
tub to cover them. The husband began to
feel, and he wanted to retire, ‘
“Wait only a few minutes, dear, said
his loving spouse; “I want to read t e
news in this afternoon s Delta. I found
it in your pocket.” , ,
A. few minutes more elapsed, and tne*
(finite
—and then, —oh ye gods and Dan o’ thi
lake, what a time. The husband was pla
ced in the easy chair. He began to un
derstand why the tub was there; he soon
learned what ailed him. Suffice it to say,
that when arose from that chair, the brick
had left his hat. It hasn’t been there since.
He says he’ll never drink another juiep;
he can’t hear Scotch ale, but he is death on
lemonade! He loves his wife better than
ever.
Reader, this is a truthful story. Profit
by its moral.
WEDNESDAY MORNING, JUNE 18, 1851.
CONCEPT
Madame Durang and Signor Novelli,
from the Italian Opera, New York, intend
giving a concert at Temperance Hall on
Wednesday evening next. We have seen
several flattering notices of their perform
ances, and think that our citizens will en
oy a treat in hearing them. We give be
low, some remarks made by a gentleman
in -a. private letter to vis, in regard to them:
“I had the pleasure of listening to one
of their concerts last evening, and must
say, I was much pleased. The Madame,
has not only a pre-possessing appearance,
but has a sweet voice, with large compass.
* * • * * * *

THE QUESTION OF THE DAY.
Unionism is a garb worn by treason in
all sections ofthe country to cloak its self
fishness and wickedness. Last year when
a great wrong was put upon the slave
States, the men who bowed to it or aided in
it, forthwith raised the cry of disunion for
the purpose of hiding their own turpitude
from the gaze of the people. It was a
trick, obvious to the least cunning among
hem. It was the old cry of “stop thief”
successfully set up by the rogue to favor
t his own escape. Well, it did succeed for
the time. Mankind seldom think clearly
or act wisely, under intense excitement,
and in the perils of the memorable year
1850, the people of the South (S Carolina
excepted) uhwiselysubmitti and to the “ad
justment” of Mr Clay, and postponed pres
ent danger to a more fearful meeting of it
tuture. It was but a postponement ‘
lor the blind can now see that nothing
was permanently settled by the so called ‘
peace measures. It is true the cloud then
overhanging and about to burst, tempora
rily disappeared. Fanaticism was obliged
to be content with the victories won on ;
that issue. But the great spring of thej
evil was not reached. The seeds of tlriP
disease were not eradicated —the sting was
not plucked from abolitionism, and the
anti-slavery party is to day higher in hope,
stronger in confidence, and in its belief,
nearer to its aim of final emancipation
than it ever was. It won its best victory
in the “adjustment.” But there is a great
question growing out ofthe legislation of ;
1850, and now up, between the Southern ;
Rights and Federal Union parties. It is j
a question for the people to decide. It is ;
this: without inquiring whether the “ad
justment” was a good or a bad one for the
South—whether it was honorable or dis
honorable ; gave her a part or all of her :
rights— the main enquiry still is, was it a
permanent and final pacification of the ques
tion? If it Was, then the submission party
was right in urging the people to be satis
fied with it—and the people were right in
consenting to an arrangement that at once
settled a great sectional dispute, gave
peace to the country and saved from over
throw a government under which they had
long lived.
But, if on the other hand, the pacifica
tion was only apparent —if, instead of ex
tirpating the moral sore, the adjustment
Doctors only tampered with it; if instead
of an entire cessation of that agitation by
which the South has been so unjustly an
noyed and harrassed, and its peace and
safety put in jeopardy—if in place ofthis,
the adjustment was only a sop thrown to
the abolition Cerberus to stay his presen
appetite—if, in a word, there dees really
exist an irreconcilable moral antagonism
between the Hireling and the Slave States,
concerning slavery—an antagonism that
sooner or later, must come to a crisis;
hen the Southern Rights Party was right
n resisting the compromise and advising
a prompt and manly refusal to submit to
it. For, if the question which the North
has presumed to make with the South—to
wit: that slavery is a sin and a stain on
the National escutcheon and must be abol
ished, and that question has to be met, it
is plain that it is better to meet it at the
threshold when the South is strong, and
mav be united, than to procrastinate it un
til the anti-slavery power swells in Con
gress, until thev are able to amend the
Constitution and sweep it away, and until
abolition creeps into the South itself. It
is this view of the question that has shaped
our own course, which so many persons
have characterized as ultra and violent. —
It is a fixed belief that this Government
has got to be an abolition Government,
and that Southern Institutions could not
exist lor any length of time in it, that has
converted the writer from a unionist into
a disunionist. No man had a stronger at
tachment to the union. We were brough
up as it were, on its lap, and almost at the
feet of Gamaliel. But we loved Rome
more than Caesar, and when we became
bitterly convinced that the union was hos
tile to the South, that we and our children
and our countrymen, their lives and pro
perly were not safe in it; when we saw
too, that our section was the aggrieved
and not aggressing party—that it was per
secuted for an institution which British and
Yankee cupidity fixed on our fathers, and
that we were to be harrassed, condemned
and ostracised in this life and sent to eter
nal perdition in the next for the crime of
being born in a slave country, we took our
stand on the side of home, country and
justice, and although we made no Hamii
car oaths, we made a resolution to strike,
and to urge our countrymen to strike for
deliverance and liberty.
The people of Georgia have this to de
termine in the October elections, and it is
a question that no man’s patriotism can be
excused from deciding. Is anti-slavery
extinqt at the North, and is the South se
cure in its peace, and possession of its
“THE UNION OF THE STATES AND THE iOVJKHXIGITT OF THE STATES.”
COLUMBUS, GEORGIA,
slave property 1 We appeal to facts to
show that the negative is the true answer
to these questions—that the snake is
“scotched and not killed,” and th at unies
the people of the South prepare for an
early and determined resistance to the en
croachments of abolition, having control
of, and acting through the Federal Gov
ernment, that that Government will soon
have power to destroy the institutions of
the South and along with them the happi
ness and prosperity of its people.
A UNION MAN.
The sentiments of a Northern Union
Man may be read in the following extracts
from one of the Hon Charles Sumner's
speeches. Mr Sumner is not a miserable,
ignorant fanatic ; he is neither a Garrison,
a Douglass or one of the tribe of Female
Abbys, who disgrace their sex and their
humanity by their follies—hut he is the U
States Senator elect ftom Massachusetts,
and tm<; oft lie iiiwt enlightened and tal
ented men ofthat State. Hear his greet
ing to his Southern Brethren :
“Into Massachusetts he (the slave own
er) shall not come * * * *
The contempt, the indignation, the abhor
rence Os the community, shall te our wea
pons of offence. Wherever he moves,he
shall find no house to receive him—nota
ble spread to nourish him —no welcome to
cheer him—the dismal lot of the Roman
exile shall be his. He shall be a wanderer
without roof, fire or water. Men shall
point at him in the streets, and on the high
ways. The cities, towns and villages shall
refuse t-> receive the they shall
vomit himjforth, never again tej disturb tbe
repose of our community.”
Illness of the Hon A H Stephens.—
The Augusta Constitutionalist the 13th
inst. says: The painful intelligence reach
ed this city yesterday, that the Hon A H
Stephens lies critically ill of Chlonic Di
arrhsea.at his residence in Crawfordville.
Hon W. C. Dawson. —The numerous
friends of Senator Dawson will regret to
learn that he had a legfractured onttie 10th
inst. The following letter from 4 gentle
man at Greensboro furnishes the particu
lars : [ Sav Georgian.
Greensboro, June 101i,’51.
Dear Sir—The Hon W C Dawsoi, while
at his plantation this morning, hadliis left
leg badly fractured above the which
1 will doubtless confine him to bis rioni for
| weeks. He had just dismounted aid tie 1
his horse to the top rail of the tencq when
the horse became frightened and rjn with
the rail fastened to the bridle, and ii pass
ing Judge D. was struck by the raillwhich j
caused the injury. He is now suf'ering .
much, though doing very well.
Truly yours, &c. in haste.
’ How to Stop a Paper. —The onlyffion
est way to stop a paper, when not wanted,
is to pay into the hands ofthe post mister
whatever you owe for it, if only foltwo
numbers, and see that the post mister
writes an order to have the same stopped.
There is* no use in sending to the jub
lishers letters and papers, with postage in
paid. If you fail to do this, do not cjm- i
plain if the publishers continue to sendlhe
paper.
An Old Printer. —A. W Scowelf, a
printer, 80 years of agd —the oldest in pie
United Stales, commenced his apprentle
ship ol seven years in the King’s Printhg
Office. London,'in 1774, sixty-eight yelrs
ago. The Boston Mail says:
He was a soldier under Sir John Mooi\.
at Corunna, in Spain in 1809, ft
received a ball in his right arnr Hr
present at the burial of Sir John, and r<§
members tne minute,’ particulcrs of till,
seem. He was’'a Iso with the Duke tj
Wellington through his whole campaign',
and lost an ancle bone by a grape shot i*
: the battle oi Waterloo. This veteran
typo, after all this hard service, is one ol
the swiftest and best compositors in Bos
j ton.
The Camilla Costume. — The, Boston
Journal recommends that the new style
of dress adopted by some ladies be called
“The Camilla Costume.” Camilla, as
we read in ancient mythology, was one ol
liie"messengers of Diana, accustomed to
the chase and to war. She was noted for
her fleetness of foot, aud of cour.se must
have eschewed the street-sweeping gar
meats in vogue at the present day.
The Way it Works. —We give two
extracts, one from a Southern, the other
j from a Northern Compromise print.
Tney serve to show how well the Fu
j gitive slave law works for the two sections
of the party. It makes capital for both,
thus:
Fugitive Case in Chicago. — We learn
from the Chicago Tribune of ihe 3d that
there was a fugitive case pending before
the United States commissioner in that city.
Large crowds had assembled, and the mar
shal had notified two miiitarv cm par.ies
to be in rradi'-ess to resist violence,should
any be attempted.—[ Louisville Journal.
That is its Southern aspect.
Here is its Northern:
Telegraphic Despatch in Boston Courier.
The fugitive slave case at Chicago ichich
has caused much excitement in that city , has
been decided in favor of the negro, for want
of proof of identity.
Would’nt it be a sin to “agitate” about
or repeal ‘such an effective law?’—[ South

ty Extract from a letter from a well in
formed planter in Burke county, dated 9th
June;
“The crops of Corn and Cotton are both
very poor for the time of the year. We
have had six weeks drought, and every
thing is almost ruined in this part of the
country. Corn and Cotton small and of
a sickly appearance, and the stands are
worre than I have’ever seen.”
FRIDAY MORNING JUNE 20, 1851
CONCERT.
The Concert of Madame Durano on
V\ ednesday evening was attended by a
small, but musical audieuce, who were
amply repaid for being present. This la
dy is a favorite at the Astor Place opera
House, New York, and, in cur opinion,
deservedly, since we have heard her. Her
voice is a full and rich contralto, admirable
in the lower notes winch belong to the
compass of that style of voice. Heropen
ingduet with Signor Novelli, took the au
ditory with surprise and delight. YVe do

a powerful first so admirably sustained.—
It another concert should be given, which

W 7 e repeat the hope, that the concert

assure our citizens a musical treat.
We want no better evidence of the
frightwhichhas seized uponthe Unionsub
mission party, at the prospect of being call
ed to the bar of the people to answer for their
betrayals and surrenders to the enemies of
the South; than the hysterical desperation
with which its writers are attempting to
twist, distort and falsify the occurrences
at, and the principles o.f, the lata Southern
Rights convention. Having been a mem
ber of that convention, aclose observer of,
and a participator in, all its acts, senti
ments and opinions, wehave been amazed
at the fecundity of submission ingenuity,
in not only misrepresenting what did take
i place, but in inventing a thousand and one
falsehoods about what was never dreamed
of in the body.
Now we do not expect candor or hon
’ esty from a party of politicians who have
j deliberately sacrificed the rights, honor
and safety of a State to the lusts of party
power and patronage ; and who have avail
ed themselves of the talismanic word of
“Union ’ and the fears of the timid, the
weak and the wealthy, dreading change,
to induce a majority of the people in an
hour of sore trial, and of a panic mischiev
ously heightened, to take a course which
has fearfully augmented the already great
danger to which their honor, liberties and
property were exposed. Georgia ought
never to have submitted to the compro
mise while she owned a son, man or boy,
to resist it. Stains on the honor of States
are deep and almost indelible. Submis.
sion to wrong is as impolitic as danger
ous : while resistance is a patriotic duty
that can never be safely pretermnted.—
What, we a-k, is thesecurity of all nations
and people 1 Not the forbearance of the
evil-doers of the Nations—but the strong
arm, and the knowledge that it willbe used
to resist aggression. The most enlighten

only restrained from the commercial plun
der of the wofld by the certainty of an ap
peal to that last resort—force. If then, a
readiness to resist wrong, and a jealous
jspiiit of liberty, quick to detect encroach

of every people, shall we of the South,

mind with denunciations of those at the
South who have done—whatl Nothing
more than to claim the right of the people
of the South to live in quietness and
peace on that portion of God’s earth where
on their lot has been cast—nothing but
what every candid man admits they are
entitled to—justice and equality ot rights,
theirs by birth-right, and re-assured to
them by the constitution. This is all the
South has ever demanded; and yet when
! the poor privilege of being let alons, and
relieved from insuit, injury and wrong are
contemptuously denied to her, there is a
whining and canting party singing with
deep nasal hypocrisy, “union, union, oh,
this glorious union.”
The Peopie will have todecide between
these Parties; and with it the great ques
tion, whether they, will demand their rights
and have them—be freemen or slaves.
THE KMQUliiaa,
We have unwaongly “riled” up the
Editor of the Enquirer, by modestly ask
ing for an explanation oi his “backward
ness in coming forward” to hoist the Con
stitutional Submission Candidate to his
column-head. Asa rule, “where there is
smoke there is fire”—we now see both
fire and smoke. Toe touchiness of our
neighbor is symptomatic. It seems he was
waiting to learn that Mr. Cobb would etc.
cept before ne “pitched in” to Ips support!
Oh ho! Is there any doubt on that point?
Is Cobb squeamish as well as the Editor?
There seems to be a ver*r general fit of
sick stomach coming over the the whole
Union party. We are glad ot it. A good
emetic would relieve them of a vast deal
of ‘“perilous stuff” which has been for
some time working wild with their South
ern constitutions.
And so our neighbor has told us once
before that he is the editor of his own pa
per and that advice as howto conduct it,
is not needed. Short as pie-crust! But,
bless you heart, neighbor, you do not think ?
we hope, that we are ambitious to share
any of the honors of your performances in
that line. No sir. If we had the manage
ment of the concern and could not blow
anew spirit under its “ribs of death,’
we should forthwith pack up type and
press and remove it to a more congenial
atmosphere, north of the Potomac, and then
re-instate into the editorial chair, its pres
ent conductors.
But while the “Enquirer” does not hoist
Cobb’s name, he is not slow in puffing
hiun, after we had called his attention to
the omission. We wish somebody would
loan us a hie of the “Enquirer” two years
back, in order that we might compare the
Editor’s then opinion with his present ad
miration of the Hon. Howell Cobb. The
contrast would be almost as great as be
tween the Enquirer’s rampant disunionism
in the days of nullification, with his pres
ent overflowing veneration for the “Gov
ernment of our fathers” and the “glarious
union.”
The “Enquirer” is not alone in his
glorification of Mr. Cobb’s unionism. The
Albany Journal, the special organ of the
higher law Senator Seward “hat/s”
the expected election of Mr. Cobb, with
as much gusto as the Enquirer. It will
be a “grateful triumph” to the Free Sob
ers arid the “friends of the union every
where.” Hear it:
“Hence, if we understand ihe position of things,
the attachment of lhe citizens of Georgia to the
Union is lobe tested at the approaching election
And in such a contest all good citizens—all true
men —all who cherish the principles and inherit
the patriotism ol the lathers of the republic, and
he framers of the Constitution, will ardently de
sire the success of the Union ticket- The election
of Rowell Cobb under such circumstances, will
be hailed by the friends of the Union everywhere,
as a grateful triumph-
We It now not whether, as the Argus anticipates, I
fidelity to the Union is to be the question on which
the approaching elections,‘State and National,’ aro
to turn. We do not believe however, that t:ie mad
ness and folly of South Carolina, or the efforts of
‘compromise’aspirants lor the Presidency, will suc
ceed in organizing disunion party out of thtee
or four slave States. But we shall see. The
Whigs of this State, whenever a question of Union
nr Disunion is presented, will “Frown indig
nantly” upon all who attempt to strike a star or
tear a stripe from the American flag.’’
A Georgia submissionisi could not blow
a louder and merrier blast of unionism
than this. We ptay our neighbor not to
pretermit his efforts to elect Cobb and give
this “grateful triumph” to Mr. Seward’s
organ.
But we are asked, where we are in the
approaching canvass? We answer, just
exactly opposite to the Columbus Enquir
er and the Albany Journal. We are a
gainst Cobb, because he was a chief archi
tect in the imfamous compromise—we
are for McDonald, because he opposed it.
We are battling against that “masked bat
tery” under cover of which the rights of
the South are assailed ; while the Enquir
er tsworking its guns in full play on these
rights. We are for the truth, and for let
ting the people know it; while the En
quirer is for informing them of nothing ex
cept that the Union is in danger, and the
defenders of Southern Rights are a worse
pack of rascals than the abolitionists. And
we are after another m ire despairing object
than all these, and that is, to keep the En
quirer and its party leaders, from backing
out from the Georgia Platform of their
own making.
If we lire through this canvass and pre
serve our health, we will show our ne gh-
bor “where we stand;” and where he does
not stand. We should not be surprised,
if after October a greater shock will be felt
in the Enquirer’s sanctum than was expe
rienced the other day, when the chimney
of the Shylock building came toppling
down, on and through the roof o< that of
fice.
We stated the other day final the Democ
racy of the Key StenlS had signalized their
devotion to the consolation by putting in
nomination for Governed, Col Biglee, who
in 1849 voted for the atotifof the Legislature
of that State, intended to cripple the op'er’
| NUMBER 27
ation of the fugitive clause of the consti
tution, withinthatState. Since then the pro
ceedings and resolutions of that body have
come to hand. Justice and truth require
us to state that they aro of a very satis
factory and conservative character on the
slavery question. Col Bigler has become
a convert, and according to the New York
Tribune, stands on the ground of zealous
adherence to the compromise. This is the
very best that any man or party in the
North can do for the South. The follow
ing are the resolutions on the slavery ques
tion, and they were adopted by acclama
tion :
Resolved. That the fith Section ofthe Act
of the Legislature of Pennsylvania, pass
ed on the 3d March, 1849, denying, under
a severe penalty, the use of our State jails
for the detention of fugitive slaves while
waiting their trials, ought to be expunged
from our Statute Books, both because it in
terposes obstacles, b v means of State leg
islation, to tt.e execution of th : provisions
ofthe Constitution ofthe U. States, and be
cause itisa virtual disregard of the princi
ples ofthe compromise, and is calculated
seriously to endanger the existence of tile
Union.
Resolved, That the Democratic party of
the Slate of Pennsylvania are true to the
Union, to the Constitution and the laws,
and will faithfully observe * and execute,
so lar as in them lies, all the measures of
Compromise adopted by the late Congress
for the purpose of settling the question
arising out of domestic slavery, ami this
not only from a sense of duty us good citi
zens of the republic, but also from the
kindest fraternal feelings, which they en
tertain toward their brethren ol the slave
holding States.
The last session of the Legislature, by
Democratic votes, passed an act expung
ing the section here referred to. The bill
failed because the Freesoil Whig Govern
or would not sign it.
The other party (Whig) in Pennsylva
nia, have taken exactly the opposite tack.
Their convention re-nominated Johnson,
Freesoiler, for Governor, and for the Pre
sidency, Gen Scott, and proclaimed the
Whig party opposed to the extension of
slavery.
The N Y Tribune very fairly states the
issue in Pennsylvania as follows :
“ The predominant issue relates to the
Fugitive Slave Law. The opposition can
didate, Col Win Bigler of Clearfield, stands
on the ground of zealous adherence to the
entire compromise policy, ant. the con
vention which nominated him passed re
solutions ot the most decided stamp in its
favor. They also explicitly condemned the
State law passed March 3, 1849, forbidding
the use of the Commonwealth to the slave
catchers ofthe Federal Government.
The Whig convention and i ts candidate
Gov Johnson, stand upon ground perfect
ly antagonistic to this. They are out and
ouffor Freesoil and against the present
mode of slave catching. The Governor
himself, at the last session, refused his ap
proval to a bill. repealing the law above
mentioned with reference to the jails.—
Pennsylvania, they say, having long since
abolished slavery herself, is hostile to its
extension or to any .nterference with it by
her State officers.”
ALABAMA
The canvass in Alabama has opened
with great spirit. The Southern Rights
Partyds thoroughly aroused, and has buck
led on its armor with an invincible resolu

and crisis of Southern Rights.
In the 2d District (nearest to usj Col.
John Cochran, has been nominated as the

energy, a thorough conviction and a deep
devotion to his caus? stamp their impress

The columns of the Eufaula “Spirit of
the South” glow with able and spirited
editorials and pour a steady stream of dead

Neverhad champions a better cause. Ar
gument, feeling, love of country, truth and
honor are all on their side to stir up the
deepest emotions of the heart and evoke
the finest efforts of tho intellect and fancy.
While on the other hand the feeble waij
of “union” “union” and the squeaking cry
of danger, are the only shields on which
to meet the shock of the rushing hosts, who
are on horse, with vizor down and lance
in rest, to do battle for right, truth, honor
an and country.
In the .Mobile District the Hon John
Bragg, brother to the Captain Bragg, of
“grape” memory is the Southern Rights
candidate against C. C. Laxodon, editor
of that Northern Federal sheet, the Mobile
Avertiser. Mr Langdon is a Connecticut
man by birth, to which we do not object,
except that be has imported with him
Connecticut principles of the'most blue
nose dye and Weathersfield odor.
A letter before us from Mobile states
t hat Bragg will easily beat him. We trust
so, if it is only to disappoint some of his
Free Soilet well-wishers at the North who
are patting him on the back and hurraing
for him in this wise.
The Ohio State Journal says:
Charles C Langdon, editor of the Mo
bile Advertiser, has accepted the nomina
tion of the Whigs of his district as their
candidate for Congress. We receive the
Advertiser regularly and regard it one of
the best papers we receive from the South.
Mr Langdon will probably be elected,
and will be an honor to his district and
State.
When an Ohio Free Soiler stamps his
approbation on a Southern newspaper what
is the inference? Why, that the Freesoil
ers know their friends atthe South. “Birds

THE BARGAIN CONSUMMATED.
So far as it is possible to judge from ap
pearances, we have never known so rank
a case of bargain and intrigue as that w hicb
was consummated at Milledgeville last
Monday, by the self-styled Constitutional
Union party.
When Mr. Clay, as a representative of
Ktntucky in Congress, violated the in
structions of his State and defeated the
I wishes of the Republican party, of which
he was then a prominent member, by giv
ing his vote and influence to John Q, Ad
ante, instead of Arttirotv Jackson, by which
he elected Adams President, it was con
sidered conclusive proof of “bargain and ‘
corruption,” that the facts as they occurred
had been previously published in a letter
from a member of Congress. The letter
stated that Clay would betray the Repub
lican party, violate the instructions of his
State, elect Adams President, and that Ad
ams would appoint Clay Secretary of State.
All this actually took place as predicted/
in the letter, and il was considered pm/fi
of the bargain and corruption which had
been previously charged against hni/ If
we apply the, same rule to- the nomination
ol Mr Cobb, the same conclusina/seems to
