A portion of the Democratic Party of Ueor ; ia, consisting of members of the Legislature and gentlemen from every part cf the State, having met in the Rep resentative Ilali in obedience to a reso lution adopted at a preliminary meetin° r of the party. On motion of Col. D. C. Campbell, Hon Joseph Day Jones tvas called to the Chair, and Messrs. A. E. Cothran of Wilkinson and Jno. C. Burch of Murray were requested to act as Secretaries.— The Chairman explained in a few ap propriaie remarks the object of the meet ing and i eturned his thanks for the hon or conferred upon him. The proceedings of the preliminary meeting held on tho 13th ins!., were read. 1 lie following Report and Resolutions were then read by the Hon. 11. V. John son, the Chairman of the Committee ap pointed at the preliminary meeting, to draft a Repoit and Resolutions for the consideration of this meeting. Report. On the 10th of December 1850, the State of Georgia assembled in sovereign Convention, to consider her duty, in relation to the series of measures adopted by the last Congress, known as “the compromise,” and deliberately de cided, for the sake ot the Union, to ac quiesce therein. That decision, bv the late elections for Governor and mem bers ot the General Assembly, ha# been ratified by an overwhelming majority of the people. It stands recorded, as the solemn judgment of the State in the premises from which there is no appeal and to which, all her citizens are hound to render a loyal obedience. What ever differences of opinion have exis ted among the people of Georgia in re lation to the expediency and wisdom of that decision, or however animated and excited the controversy at the hustings and at the polls, patr otism and pru dence both suggest, that these should bo consigned to the “tomb ofihe Capulets,” and that the future shou and find them un ited as one man, upon some common platform for the maintenance of the rights and honor of the State the integ rity and prosperity of the Union. Fortunately for the people of Georgia the decision of the Convention already alluded to furnishes a ground upon which all can rally, tor future action , without any sacrifiice of principle, and with strong hope of effecting something f.r (lie prosperity and harmony of our common country. We allude of course to the following resolutions of that Convention, to wit : “That the State of Georgia in the judge ment of the Convention, will and ought to resist, even(s a last resort) to a dis ruption of every tie which binds her to the Union any action of Congress upon the subject of slavery in the District of Columbia, or in any places subject to the jurisdiction of Congress, incompati ble with the safety, domestic tranqui ity Ihe rights and honor of the slavehold ing States or any act suppressing the save trade between slaveholding States or any refusal to admit as a State any tei ritory hereafter applying, because of the existence of slavery therein or any act prohibiting the introduction of slaves into (he territories of Ulali and iYew Mexico or any act repealing or materi aly modifying the laws now deforce tor the recovery of fugitive slaves. That it is the deliberate opinion of this convention up on the faithful execution of the Fugitive Flave Law by the) proper authorities depends the preservations of our much loved Union.” These resolutions look to the future. The one defines*'the Rubicon beyond which Congress must not pass; the oth er insists upon the faithful exe ution of the “Fugitives ave law,” by the proper authorities, as ittdispensible to the reservation of our much loved Union. Upon their passage in the Convention there was little if any diversity of opin ion. They dubtlessforme 1 the controling consideration upon which so large a majority have ratified the action of the State Convention. They still have the sanction and approval of every true hearted Georgian. Here then, the people of this State may and ought to un ite, first to see that Georgia “take no step backwards ,” and secondly, to enforce the strict observance, by the Federal Gov ernment of the line of policy which the State has thus solemnly prescribed, as indispensible to her continuance in thc Union. If these positions are Avell taken, Avhat attitude should Georgia assume in order to give the greatest ellicacy and moral weight to Iter action 1 i'diall shj stand alone or seek an ally in theapproaching Presidential election? In the present emergency as in all others isolation is impotency. Single handed shecan nei ther control nor direct tlie great tide of popular sentiment or federal policy. To whom then shall she look for an. alliance? In some quart rs, it may be urged that she should look alone to’ her sister States of the South; and thatstand ing aloof from all association with any party at the North, they should unite in casting theirvote upon a Smthern candi date lor the Presidency. Judging from the recent elections in the South, and the exhibitions of popular sentiment upon the national issues, Avliicb the Presidential election Avill necessarily present such a union of the Southern Stales is scarcely possible. An unsuc cessful attempt to secure it, Avould but result in that with which Ave have been already too often mortified the exposure of our weakness, Avhile it successful, it Avould ultimately prove unavailing againstthe combined poAver ofthe North and West. The union of the South however, must always be a great desideratum Avbich cannot be too highly estimated] Whe ther for sectional action or for co oper ation Avith other portions of the Union, upon national questions, it is of the ut most importance. Truly then should Ave seek an alliance with our sister States of the South. We should invoke harmony and encourage it by all proper means. But avc should never look to an alliance with them alone , except in cases Avhere our safety and interests imperatively demand sectional action.— Do existing circumstances present such a case ? While submission or resis tance to the Compromise was the issue before the Southern States it was purely a sectional question for them to detei.- mine for themselves, and furnished an instance in which ihey might properly act as a section. But noAv this questiou has been defin itively settled. All the Southern States like Georgia, have determined to ac quiesce in the adjustmentmade by Con gress. Therefore, there no longer ex ists any.reason for combined sect'onal action by the Southern States. Their decision has converted the Compromis emphatically into a national question.— Being national, it is equally the policy duty and interests of the Southern States to stand united not for sectional purpos- “THK UNION OF THE STATES AND THE SOYHIIBIONTY OV TII H STATES.** es, but to co-operate with all men in every part of the confederacy in order to give, efficacy and finality to that set tlement. Whilst therefore Georgia’ should seek an’alliance with her sister Southern States, it should not be with them alone with the view to run a southern candidate for the Presidency and thus to prolong a needless and fruit -1 ss section strife but to bring in the field all the : r moral power to direct the tide of contest so pregnant with the fate of of the South as well as that of the Un -0 ). To whom then should Georgi a look and—if united and agreed with her in these views—to whom should the South look for an alliance 1 Fortuneately there is a party in the North and West who indicate a willipgness to consider the Compromise as a permanent and final settlement of the slavery controver sy to enforce the faithful excution of the Fugitive. Slave Law and to oppose its repeal or material modfication, — That party is the national Democracy. It they will take this stand openly bold ly and unequivocally in Convention, interest, prudence and patriotism all suggest the wisdom ot uniting with them in the nomination and election ot a President who will enforce and carry into effect that polcy which alone can save the South from utter ruin and the Union from disruption. lu antagonism to that party at the North, stands the whig part}-. They are utterly hostile to the South, in all their tendencies, sympathies and prin ciples. W ith them, we can hold no communion, tolerate - no alliance. They would dry up the sources of oar prosperity,to aggrandize themselv. s: and to feed the morbid appetite of greedy, blind abolition fanaticism, they would arm our slaves with the bludgeon and faggot to murder our fami lies and burn our dwellings. Our only contact with them must be in strife of arms’ on the arena of political warfare, and it is best to unite with any party who, from whatever motives, will stand by u3 in the feartul contl.et. For victory vouchsales security to us and will convert our allies into firm and trustworthy friends. It has been said that the party to whom alone the South can look for an alliance, is the Northern democratic party. We too are democrats. If they will be true to us upon tho issue above designated, we can well trust them on all other questions oi’ Federal policy. Thc very name of Democracy awakens a thousand pleasant memories. It re minds ussof many a glorious victory, achieved for tho gooJ*>f our wide republic. It calls up the cherished names of Monroe and Madison, Jeffer son an 1 Jackson, Polk and Calhoun, Buchanan and Dallas, Stockton and Butler and a host of il lustrous men who have battled in the cause of re publicanism. Jt is synonymous with all that is glorious in the career of tiie past, all that is grati fying in the prosperity of the present and ali that is hopeful in the events of the future. The histo ry of our republic is the history of the great demo cratic party of the United States. The principles of democracy are the principles of our constitution; and it is upon them alone that this government can ever be successfully administered. Whenever they have been in the ascendant—exhibiting their efficacy in a strict construction, restraining the Federal Legislature within its proper sphere of delegated authority, in recognizing and respecting the reserved sovereignty of the States—we have been happy, fraternal and prosperous'. But when not in the ascendant, or when obstructed in their legitimate operation, the fruits have been unequal taxation, odious protection to favored classes, de ranged or bloated currency, popular dissatisfac tion and sectional strife. If then, the Northern democracy will stand with us upon thc position which Georgia his taken, we cannot only unite with them cheerfully, in the approaching Presi dential election, luttour common democratic sym pathies, ‘tt render it a union ol friendship and brotherhood. It is not to be forgotten, in this connexion, that tile diversity of opinion, in relation to the ‘Coin promise,’ lias ieJ to the formation of two parties, uuder the different names from those, by which tho old parties, into which the State was formerly divided, wore known. Tho Southern Rights par ty is composed almost exclusively of democrats, and the Constitutional Union party of a combina tion of a portion of Democrats, with the almost entire m iss of Whigs. But tho question which produced these new organizations, having been definitely an 1 finally settled, it would seem that neither patriotism nor sound policy, demands their longer continuance. Why then, should not the whole people of Georgia, nt this crisis, when har mony and unanimity are so important, unite as one man, in sending delegates to the Baltimore Convention, to co-operate with that body in such action as will guarantee future security against ag gression and ag union, an t the nomination of candi (iatos, who shall not only he true republicans, hut also sound upon the slavery question in all its as pects. So grave and m mie-itous is this consider ation, that it is earnestly hoped, that no step will be taken hy any party lit the State, which wdl pre vent a consummation so devoutly to be desired.— Tnis object may be easily accomplished, if prn denee and patriotism, shall control the spirit of tac tion. To attain it, is there auy sacrifice too great to he made? Or however great the sacrifice, where is the man or the party of men, who will be nnwilling to make the offering upon their coun try's altar? In all tlie ranks of the Southern Rights party, it is believed that there is tint a sin gle man who e patriotism is not equal to the duty. The resolutions adopted by the Gubernatorial Convention of that party fully embodied the Re publican principles of 17911; and the unanimity and zeal, with which the}’ were advocated in the late campaign, furnish tin ample guaranty, that every man, will rally to them with enthusiasm, even though they should be inscribed upon a Demo cratic banner. Xor ougiit it to be doubled, that th > Union democrats, true to their long cherished republican instincts, true to the best interests of the State, and true to themselves, will return to tlie serried ranks of their old brethren and allies, from whom a temporary question has temporari ly separate ! them, as soon as they shall see their time-honored Hag again unfurled to the breeze.— And what may we not expect of the Union Whigs? Their leader has already announced, that the Northern Whig party is denationalized and that the South can expect nothing at their hands. These, too, must ‘tail into ranks,’ if for no other reason, than that they will have nowhere else to go The whole State should be represented iu the Baltimore Convention if it may he—the Democrat ic party must be. But while we march forword boldly and firmly, lo the’accomplishment of our i<atriotic policy, let us do nothing to widen the chasm which! divides the people of Georgia, i o’h ing calculated to sow the seeds of bitterness and strife. Let us pour oil upon the agitated waters. Let patr o ism s lenei the voice of faction! Let us so act, that if Georgia shall not not be represented as a unit in the Baltimore it thall not be our fault. The adoption of the following resolutions is therefore recommended as expressive of the views of this meeting : Resolved, That the question of submission to the Comptontise is settled in this State; and that it is the duty of the people, for the future, to unite as one man, in the indexible determination to maintain, to the letter, the position which Georgia has taken against all future aggressions by Con gress upon the institution of slavery. Resolved, That,in view of the indications giv en by the Northern Democracy, to consider the slavery question as finally settled by the Compro mise, to enforce the Fugitive Slave Law and to op pose its repeal or material modification, Georgia should be represented in the Baltimore Conven tion, to co-operate in such action by that body and the nomination of such Candidates for the Presi dency and Vice Presidency, as will give vitality and efficacy to the Compromise, sectsre safety to the South and harmony to the Confederacy. Resolved, That we recommend the Demo—at ic party to hold £ Convention nt Milledgc.iile, ai as early a day as may be conveLien- and rxped: ai to appoint delegates to the Ealtihiore Convention, and that, a committee of nine be appointed by the President of this meeting, to confer with t-.e friends of this policy ia ever} part of ti-s Cio designate and publicly announce the iajr lor the assembling of each Convertti.m.

Winter has I consented to address the citizens of Colum : bus, this evening, at Temperance Hall, on the subject of Plank Roads. There has been a great Democratic ! Meeting in Milledgeville, Jos. Day Esq. in the chair. H. V. Johnson read tho commit tee’s reporl, and Judge Colquitt and Gen. II A. llarralson, addressed the meeting. It rec commends a convention to appoint delegates to Baltimore Convention. Since the foregoing was written w# have received the official peoeeedinga. They will be found in another column. t-W~ The attention of the afflicted is invi ted to toe testimony of Gen. E. Hull, volun teered in behalf of Dr. DegrafFonreid’s Rheu matic Liniment. We have thank, Heaven, no ; ,rheumatism ourself (except in the pock et, and our subscribers could cure that in stantaneously and miraculously by just drop ping a letter in the. Post Office, with one year’s subscription enclosed) but to those who have, it costs but little to try the Doc tor s discovery. He believes in it and “no mis take. 1 ’ If it is half as curative in its powers as the Doctor's faith is firm and fixed, it will disenthral all tho limbs of Christendom of red flannel, and send all the Curutelios into Coventry. We are not given to puffing things except cigars—butdtis only thejsober truth &, what we hear almost every day, that Dr. De- GrafFenreid’s remedy has acquired a very re markable celebrity in a short time. We hope all ot our Rheumatic subscribers will try it—and all the rest will mail to us a year’s subscription for thus acting the good Samaritan to the afflicted—we being afflicted for the want of it. And, now query ? is this our puff or the Doctor'si wejhave sought to enconomize time and “kill two birds with one stone.” Our readers can sift tho puff—the Rheumatics can send for the liniment, and the sound send us our money. l-W fYo learn from the Louisville Cou rier that Francis P. Blair Esq., is on an elec tioneering tour for General Butler for the Presidency. J-gs” The total population of the State of Indiana according to the late census return is 988,419.j0f whom 2b0)0 are Indians and 10,- 788 colored. 53?” We see it stated that a proposition has been made for Governor Cobh, ar.d the Legislature of Georgia to pay a visit to Sa vannah next month. The President of the Altna Insurance Company of Utica says, that the Company have lost five thousand dollars more in ma rine risks, than they have received from pre miums. E3F” The report furnished hy telegraph from*Ncw Orleans that Mr. Letcher had inti mated to the Mexican Government that this Government would not support the claims of the American company claiming tho Garay Grant for the Tehauntepee route, is now de nied. WHERE TO GO. The Athens Banner writes an editorial perora tion to Mr. Toombs’ speech,in which it is express ly denied that Mr. Toombs said the Constitution al Union party would not be represented in the National Democratic Convention. On the contra ry, says the Banner, Mr. Toombs said there was a great “likelihood” that a similiarity of principles, interests and -dews,would bring Constitutional Un ionism and Balt more Democracy together. The coalition party in Georgia is evidently “seeking” — it is up for “Cowes and a market’ and to sell itself to the highest bidder; and ye’ all ths penny-a-liners of its press : vaunting its 1 independence and actually being choked with indignation because the South ern, Rights party, coufessing.itself defeated by the popular voice tin past issues, proposes to uuitc with one of th* National parties in the very terms of the proposition submitt-s? hy the Union party to the people, and by the people, decided. A late movement in Boston will perhaps g : vea new tune to the views pis the_ coalition. Mr. Websßr has been nominated for the Presidency, by a Massachusetts Convention as tho “Union"’ candidate. This may open a market in which the “coalition” can make a good bargain. If Mr. Tootnlte should, perchance, drag Mr. Cobb into the support of the great Federal expounder, it would be worth the while to take a peep at the countenance of the Editor of the Washington Un ion when the news is first broken to him. The Athens Banner imforms the world and the “reet of mankind” of another important fact—to wit: that the Vice Presidency has no eharnt* for Mr. Cobb ; and this in reply to a nomination of that gentleman to that office, by an Alabama pa per. It chances very unfortunately for Southern Constitutional Union Patriots, that there ia only ens Presidential office to fill and that it is qnite imiooseible, for Mr. Cess, Gsa. Fears, Cen. Tooaibs and sever J others to occupy the White Jlo'j&u all at ths same time. GIRARD AND MOBILE ROAD.

He will go into the Dem ocratic convention, provided he cannot do better. \Y c fire-eaters once in a time, had Mr. Toombs much more decidedly and firm ly committed to our cause,about the period ol his “Discord” and“ Hamilcar” speeches than he is now committed to National Democra cy. But ho did not stick. There is no moro reliance on him now than thore was then. Look out, gentlemen, that he doos not fool you and that, there is not a Wing eat under this Democratic meal. He is quite as likely to support the Webster ticket as the Demo cratic ticket, and we think, more so. The D einoeratic State Convention of Ohio is to assemble at Columbus on the Bth of January to appoint delegates to tho National Convention. COMMUNICATED. PLANK ROADS, Mr. Editor : — At the request of some of my country friends who desire to be en lightened as to the effect of Plank Roads, *“ reducing tho expense of transportation, I have promised through your columns to make such a report as I have been able to obtain from tho limited sources of information to which I have been fortunate enough to obtain access. In order to condense this communication, I shall write, rather of results, than of the pro cess through which they arc obtained. Thc philosophy of Plank Roads and of Rail Roads is the same—it is the production of a road that, hy its smoothness, reduces the amount of friction which has to bo overcome in moving thc load. Upon a Plank Road an ordinary Horse can draw Four Bags of cotton with thc same case he can draw one Bag upon the ordinary roads of the country. lie can carry the load at the rate of three miles an hour for ten hours, or 30 miles per day, and do it continually for months at a time. Thia of course saves J of thc animal pow er now used hy the Farmer in getting his crops to market, and enables him to employ his teams in other useful ways about the pljuit-ntion. It nlo snyf** wear and tear of waggons and harness, because the Plank Road is a smooth surface, there are no ruts or hub deep mud to be jerked through. The load is carried by a smooth, steady, easy pull from the beginning to the end of the journey. With Plank Roads there is no such thing as being prevented by wet seasons and bad roads from getting the crop to market. The Plank Road is as good after a heavy rain as it was before. A common road has to be worked by the farmers in the neighborhood through which it passes, while it is cut up by everybody travelling from a distance al though they contribute nothing to its repair- The Plank Road keeps itself in repair by ts tolls, and everybody passing over it, never imind from how great a distance, bv the pay ment of tolls helps to keep the road in order. The rule is in fact reversed ,for the only per sons who need no/ pay for keeping up there pairs of a Plank Road, are the farmers who live in its neighborhood. They have but to become stockholders and their dividends will largely exceed their tolls. A farmer living 30 miles from Columbus, with a Plank Road connecting with this point is as near the city as the farmer who lives miles off, separated from the city by a com mon country road—for the farmer 33 miles off, with a road over which he can haul four times as much with the same power, might start even with a farmer miles from the city who had f o waggon over a com mon road, and he would have his crop in market in exactly the same time, with wear and tear of stock, than the farmer living 7* miles distant. This would increase the value of his lands just ai much as they would be increased by building a city of the size of Columbus within 7$ miles of bis farm. That proximity to cities increases tho value of farming lands is a truism on which H ts n* necessary to argue. Doubters however, may have a practical illustration of tho fact bv seeing Columbus lose its trade and them selves forced to a more distant market—to effect this not very desirable result, rcrpiircs only a little more lethargy on the part of our enterprising merchants. The cost of Plank Rial varies ft >rn §ls 03 to 82 00 per mile, dependent on the faec of the country in reference to the grading an,} the price of lumber in the region through which the road passes. Experience has shown that wherever tri ed, they have paid handsome dividends, vary ing f'om 10 to 50 per cent, and Mint the build ingof one road has been the premise of ma ny more. But five or six years have elapsed since the first Plat k Road was built in the United States, and such has been their val ue as an investment that there arc more miles of Plank Road now in use in the United States, than there are of Rail Roads. They are buiit within ourselves, labor and lumber being the only material used, and both of these are abundant at the South. Thoy will snpply us with cheap means of transportation, where on aeconnl of the cost, Rail Roads never conld have penetrated: as for instance, the contemplated roads from Colimbus to Greenville, o.d from Coin tabus to ecrzfy. that the length ia 70 mile* and the oost yrr rjlu thej will eost I# 146 066. A &. Road the c=m tfistaMe would costOne Million, tho me v. ill paw the ether would involve the Stockholder* in | NUMBER 49 ruin. The one would take 5 years to builil the other can be built in twelve months. The one would accommodate the great trav eling public, the other will accommodate ev en body that chooses to travel, from the swell head in his carriage and four, down to the less ostentatious, but u*>re useful citizen in his bull cart. But Ido not mean to de tract from Bail Roads, they have their pur pose which they alone can fulfil. The Mus cogee Road is an illustration of this truth. While a Plank Road would not fulfil its pur poses—it will not fulfil the purposes of a Plankßoad. A Rail Road will increase the amount of business done in a given place, but it will concentrate it in a fewer hands. The wag gon trade now done here will be diuded out among some half dozen villages to scat tered along the line of Rail Road. With the loss of this trade we must lose our small dealers, and when wo lose them wo lose an important element in what constitutes a city. The Plank R ?ad i:i connection with the Rail Road, will increase the waggon trade and make Columbus what she ought to be, an important inland city—The R lil Road by opening her communication with tho Atlan tic will make Columbus “a market,” the Plank Road by drawing the - surround ing country nearer to tho city will make it the point to which the waggon trade will concentrate; so that tho two improvements acting favorably upon each other, will soon enable us to realize those palmy days which at present we sigh for in vain. In conclusion, I will say that the practica bility of Plank Roads will soor. be tested. I expect during this week to present to the City Council a responsible list of subscribers to the amount of $ 10,000. If they will then carry out the wishes of their fellow citizens by making the subscriptions in Bonds for $30,000, both the Stewart and Greenville roads can be commenced by the Ist of Janu ary and at least 20 miles of each put in oper ation for the next Fall’s business.

Treasury. “The President and the Secretary of the Treasury will be enabled to lay before Con gross, a gratifying statement of the condition of the Finances of the Government. The re venue for the last year, ending June 31th, was fifty-one millions, —two of which were from the public lands, eight millions of the public debt, have been extinguished during the year, by purchase of the U.

The president, In Ins Message, last. Decem ber, stated that the portion of the public debt falling due within two years,must be provided for by loan, or otherwise. The revenue for the next year,will he larger than for the last, and the public debt will be rapidly diminish ed, even if tiie ordinary expenditures of the Government should be increased to forty millions.
