Chronicle & Sentinel PUBLISHED DAILY AND WEEKLY, BY W. S. JONES. * ■TUESDAY ItlOHN’Ci, DEC. 18,1860. Sober Second Thought. Wb are truly rejoiced at the evidences accumu lating every day, that the people of the South, and especially of this great Empire State of Geor- j gia, are settling down to calm reflection, and at I the same time to a steady determination to have all the matters in dispute between North and South honorably, peaceably and finally adjusted, one i way or another. We are glad to see that the most zealous and ardent are coming to understand j the advantage of our proposed policy , the honest and real design of which is to satsfy all our peo ple, and thus to unite them all—to unite all who are alike interested, for one common purpose, that purpose, our security and complete satisfaction in the Union, or a united South in a New Confed eraev, independent of the Union. From a very large number of counties in Geor gia we have intelligence that the people, whose Go vernment this was designed to be, whose interests are to be regarded and provided for, are for ma king one more united co-operative effort to have what we want in the Union, before we take the final step of dissolution. Many think that we can have what we demand, others think it impossible, but nearly all are now uniting on the policy of making the demand, so that the question may be speedily determined, and that for all time. Com ity, good fellowship, fraternity and due respect seem to require that the whole South, by commis sioners or “delegates, should consult as to the terms on which the Union can be honorably maintained, so that, should those terms be reject- I ed by those who have the numerical strength, but who manifestly feel that they have most inter est in the Union , then we can all, with clear con sciences, before God and the civilized world, dis solve a connection, which would in that event, have clearly become both intolerable and dishon oring, and that without hope of change for the better. Among the most cheering signs of the times are the late letters of Thos. R. R. Cobb, Esq., and Senator Toombs, taken in connection with the Elbert county resolutions, endorsed as they were by one of the soundest and most vigorous minds in Georgia—that of Hon. Thomas W. Thomas. I Senator Toombs, we learn, goes directly to Wash ington, where he will immediately prepare amend ments to the Constitution, and if these receive a two-thirds vote he will counsel his native State 1 and the South to wait until the States can act. If three-fourths of the States ratify these amend ments, the Union will be placed on a firm impreg nable basis—if satisfactory and just demands be rejected, then nothing will left the South but to retire, peaceably if she can, forcibly if she must. If proper amendments aro adopted, of course the Union should be maintained, but the temper of the times is such that the services of Mr. Toombs will be-specially required to bring the Southern mind to accept the terms. All eyes will be now turned to him, in the confident hope, that with his transcendent genius, his burning eloquence, his boundless popularity, he may prove equal to the great emergency, that he may make himself what he is eminently entitled to be, the Great Pacifica tor, the Hexry Clay, of this generation. We are perfectly aware of the objections which are, and will be urged, to delay and co-operation* by many of the most patriotic and intelligent citi zens of the South. There is a class of conscien tious disunionists, disunionists of twenty years standing, who do not desire to maintain the Union I on any terms, as regards slavery and the position of the government and the towards it, for the reason simply that they consider the Union a disadvantage instead of a benefit to the South, in a material aspect ; and they, of course, oppose delay for fear that the North may grant our terms. This class is small, and not in a majority in more than one State, if indeed in any. Another class oppose delay and co-operation, for fear that the people, upon cooling, will accept less than our just demands—they, we think, are mistaken in regard to the public sentiment, but whether they be or not, the people certainly should have what they want, or else we must squarely acknowledge at once that the people are incapable of self-govern ment, and acknowledging that, it will become a duty to set about organizing a different form of government. ’ Still another class, the class of politicians, are opposed to delay and opposed to any settlement, for the reason that they believe they can never more get control of the Government. Rut it mat ters little with them whether they can get control under old names and old platforms, so they can “get control at all, under any name: and their policy is to go at once into that movement which promises success, and to reap the reward. An other small class, the philosophic class, look with little hope to a permanent peace by any earthly means, and therefore prefer final separation rather than an armistice for five, ten or twenty years. These also reflect upon the awkward position the South , would hereafter occupy, w r ere she now to consent to auy adjustment, after what has passed, and they, therefore, rather tend to separation without delay. But after all, it would seem that nothing wluable is to be lost, while much cf value may be obtained, by that policy which looks main ly to union among ouselves, and the avoidance of jealouky, heart burning and strifes. We publish the letter of Mr. Jenkins with a heavy heart, for, in company with many other citizens, we sincerely regret that he has felt con strained, by a sense of duty, to decline a candida cy for the Convention. From all parts of the State, and from men of all parties and of all shades of opinion, comes up a voice, asking thatGeorgia> in this hour of her greatest need and of her sorest trial, should have the counsel and the guidance of* her great, her just, her wise, her noble patriot son, Charles J. Jenkins. By all means, the ses sion of the Supreme Court in January should be postponed, either by *,he Legislature or by common consent, so that not only Judge Jenkins, but the venerable Chief Justice Lumpkin, and Juge Lyon, too, might participate in the deliberations of this important assembly of the people. Alabama.—A Washington City dispatch dated the 18th says: “A letter from a distinguished source has just been received from Alabama which says it is now certain that the co-operationists or conservatives will carry every county in northern Alabama in the election for Delegates to the State Convention, and ten or more in the middle and southern portions of Alabama, thus rendering doubtful the question as to which side will triumph in the State Convention. Col. Taylor, a leading Bell man in that State, has publiahed a letter strongly favoring co-operation. If, however, an ordinance of secession be passed, the Conserva tives will insist that it be submitted to the people for ratification.” Union or Disunion.—A reader of influence in he lower part of the Slate, who does not olten interfere in politics, thus writes us : The Union cause is strong in this county. Ido not think that if candidates were run purely Union or Disunion, that there would be fifty dis union votes in the county; but the secessionists are trying to deny being for secession and claim to be now for the Union. 1 fear that in this way thousands of good Union men will be deceived by secessionists claiming to bo Union men, in order to be elected; and then when elected, vote lor se cession. All the masses of the people are for the Union, and only the politicians are for disunion, they having backed down on account of disunion being unpopular. I hear from different adjoining counties and the whole cry is for the Union, and if the people are not misled by the politicians un der the pretence that they are Union men, all these lower counties will give an overwhelming majority for the Union. Warn the people of the State against this trick, as I am pretty certain it is trying to be played off in other counties as in this, as the strongest se cessionists re now saying they are for the Union, hut wish t be left untrammeled by any pledge t v* ir co pduct, if elected to the Convention. I tnink that if the people are to speak their sove reign power through their delegates that Bh 2r// sepr?5 epr ?, BJemt 8 J emt the views of their con stituents.—“Milledgeville Recorder. Call fob a Union Meeting in Kintucky.—Th* Oentral Committee of the Constitutional Union E arty of Kentuoky have issued a call for a State onvention of that party, to meet in Louisville, on the Bth of January, for the purpose of consult ing upon the course Kentucky should pursue in iths present crisis. Members of all other political ar are invited to take part in the de liberations of the Convention. Editor of the Chronicle tfc Sentinel—Dear Sir : My name has beet several times suggested in your paper, in connection with the representation of Richmond county in the State Convention, soon to assemble in Milledgeville. It has now appear ed three or four times, in association with the names of two other gentlemen, in the form of a ticket announced, and my silence may be con stiued into an acquiescence in the candidacy. Al though the proposed service, and this association, might well awaken just pride in any man, I hap pen to be so situated as to render acquiescence on my part improper. My fellow-citizens know that I am in commission as a Judge of the Supreme j Court of Georgia. That is of itself no disqualifi cation ; but the Legislature has enacted, that the Supreme Court shall commence one of its sessions on the second Monday in January, (the 14th prox.,) and the term usually continues ten days or longer. It is my imperative duty (unless Providentially hin dered,) to be present on the first, and every other day of that term. The Legislature has also provid ed that the Convention shall assemble on the 10th prox. It is apparent then, that without any in compatibility in the nature, there is a fortuitous con flict in the performance, of the two services, l hold that no man, having accepted one important public trust, can, without dereliction of duty, voluntarily assume, even for a day, a second, which would certainly interfere with the performance of the first. This is the general rule, and no exception I occurs to me, except that, wherein the second I duty, in point of time, beiug temporary, was cast I j upon him, by the same authority, (or one para mount,)which imposed the first. Seeing then that in the event of my election to the Conven tion, I must inevitably fail in one, of two, impor tant public engagements, I am constrained, reluc tantly, but positively, to decline a candidacy. I am thus full in assigning my reasons, becanse I would not have it supposed, that upon slight, or merely personal considerations, I decline compli ance with a request, privately and publicly press ed upon me by many valued friends. Respectfully, Ac., Charles J. Jenkins. Meeting in Heard County. Franklin, Heard Cos., Ga., Dec. 4. I Pursuant to previous notice, a large and entliu- I siastic meeting of the citizens of Heard county, without party distinction, assembled in the Court House, and was organized by calling R. H. Jack son, Esq., to the Chair as President, and B. D. I Johnson, Esq., as Vice President, and 11. T. No land Secretary. The object of the meeting was explained by the Chairman, to be to nominate candidates to be run at the approaching election for delegates to the State Convention, to take into I consideration the mode, measure and time of such resistance as the present crisis demands. On motion of C. W. Mabry, Esq., a committee of ten was appointed to report matter and busi ness for the action of the Convention. The follow- I ine geutlemen were appointed, to-wit: C. W. Mabry, Esq., Gen. L. 11. Featlierston, Dr. Wm. C. Redwine, P. 11. Wood, S. 1). Echols, E. H. Kirk, j Walker Dunson, S. W. Favor, B. T. Spearman, and C. V. Furlow, Esqs., who retired, and after a deliberate consultation, reported through their Chairman the following preamble and resolutions, which were unanimously adopted • Whereas, a sectional political party, within the I last few years, has sprung up in the non-slave holding States, under the name of the Repulican party, having for its purposes and design the abolition of African slavery in the District of Co lumbia, the Territories of the United States, and other places over which Congress has legislative I jurisdiction, and finally, either directly indirectly to abolish it in the States, and to place the negro upon an equality with the white population in the j slave States. And the same political party has, in a majority of the nou-slaveholding States, by their State legislation, refused to carry out in good faith the Fugititive Slave Law, iu direct op position to a plain provision of the Constitution of the United States, and finally elevated to the high est office in the gift of the American people, Mr. i Abraham Lincoln, on a platform hostile to slave ry, and should the government be administered, on the principles of his party, the right of proper ty in slaves would be materially impaired, if not totally abolished, the equality of the Southern States in the Union destroyed, and they become powerless in the Congress of the United States. And we believe the present crisis demands of every citizen in the slave Slates, calmly and dis passionately, to express his opinion (but in a firm and decided manner) upon the best and safest course for the Southern States to pursue in pro tecting their rights and preserving and maintain ing their equality in the Union. Therefore Resolved, That the political principles set forth in the platform of the Abolition, or Republican party, with Mr. Lincoln as their standard bearer, with his determined hatred to slavery, his denial of property in slaves, pledged to prohibit it in the Territories, thereby depriving the Southern slave howner of the right of carrying his slave proper ty there, and its protection, and destroying his equality in the Territories, we condemn as unjust, unconstitutional, and a fanatic 1 heresy, and ought to be resisted by the Southern States. Resolved, That a majority of the non slavehold ing States of this Confederacy, have plainly and palpably violated the Constitution of the United States by their State legislation, intended to de feat the execution of the Fugitive Slave law. Resolved, That those of the Abolition party in the Free States, who have, or are now, indirectly inciting the slaves to insurrection,murder, poison, arson, Ac., arc guilty of treason and should suffer the penalty of a traitoi. Resolved, That we deplore as a national calami ty the election of the Black Republican candidates to the oflices of President and Vice-Pre ident of the United States, yet we do not consider the elec tion of a citizen of the United States, eligible to the office of President in a constitutional and legal manner, cause for secession or disunion. Resolved, sth. That we approve the act calling a Convention of the State of Georgia, composed of delegates chosen by the people, to take into con sideration our relation to the Federal Government and with the free States, and determine upon the mode, measure, and time of redress for the inju ries complained of by the people of our State. Resolved, %th. That we reaffirm our fidelity to the principles enunciated in the Georgia Conven tion of 1850, and recommend the Convention which is to assemble, to lay down and declare such further principles and policy, as will fully meet the impending crisis, and entitle our beloved State to retain that position which has been as signed her by the Southern States, (the Empire State of the South.) Resolved, Ith. That we recognize the right of a State to judge of the infraction and violation of the Constitution of the United States, as well as the mode and measure of redress, and when a State believes the Constitution has been violated and her l urthens become intolerable, (and we be lieve a majority of the free States have violated the Constitution,) after first exhausting all consti tutional remedies may apply the last resort, seces sion or disunion, whether it be regarded as peace able or revolutionary. Resolved, B th, That we approVc the niaxin *‘that in the multitude of counsel there is safety,” and do, therefore, recommend, that a plan of.co-opera tion be adopted by the Southern States in a Con vention composed of delegates empowered to de termine a plan to be adopted by the slave States, that will secure their equality in the Union, pro tect their rights, and in the event they fail in that effort, then to establish their independence out of it. After which several motions were made to nominate different candidates by acclamation, but on motion of C. W. Mabry, the Convention ad journed over to Tuesday next, the 11th inst., it being theu late in the evening and a number of citizens having left town. Henry T. Noland, Sec’y. Franklin, Ga., Dec. 11th. A large and enthusiastic assemblage of the citi zens again convened in the Court House, pur suant to adjournment, when Col. It. T. Stokes moved that the meeting reconsider their action on Tuesday last, which was opposed by Col. C. W. Mabry, and enquired for *wnat purposed they desired tiiem reconsidered, which debate was con tinued for some length of time, iu whicli Col. •Stokes, Geii. Featlierston, Dr. Grimes and Col. Mabry participated, and which was finally termi nated by I)r. E. W. Grimes, moving that all who were in favor of immediate secession, should withdraw from the meeting—which was rapturous ly seconded by .the secessionists, and they retired from the house, among them K. 11. Jackson, and H. T. Noland. The meeting was called to order by B. I). John son, Esq , the Vice President, and oil motion, Judge Timothy Pittman was called to the Chair, and A. A. A. Watts requested to act as Secretary. The meeting was then addressed by Thomas Watts ilia forcible and pertinent manner in re gard to the magnitude of the impending crisis, after which R. P. Wood and C. W\ Mabry were nominated by acclamation, who both beiug pre sent, accepted the nomination. It was then resolved by the meeting, that the papers friendly to our position and iu favor of co-operation, be requested to publish these pro ceedings. T imothy Pittman, Pres’t. B. D.

CO-OPERATION MEETING. SENATE CHAMBER, , Milledgeville, Dec. 14th, 1360. j A large meeting of the members of-the General Assembly, in favor of co-operation and opposed to immediate separate State secession, was this day held in the Senate Chamber. On motion of Mr. Jones, of Newton, the Hon. John Billups, of Clark, was by acclamation chosen President, and Messrs. Price of Pickens, Wofford of Cass, and Carter of Echols, were chosen Vice- Presidents. The President on taking his seat, made some , feeling, beautiful, and eloquent remarks, explain ing the objects of this meeting. The remarks were delightfully made and pleasautly received by the meeting. On motion of Mr. Patton of Walker, Messrs. Paine of Telfair, and Render of Mirewether, were chosen as Secretaries. The Chairman announced the meeting organized and ready for business. Mr. QuilLian of Gilmer, ’moved that the Chair appoint a Committee of twenty-two to report bu siness for the action of the meeting. The motion was carried, and the Chair appoint ed the following Committee: Quillian of Gilmer, Chairman. Jones, of Newton, Wilson, of Columbia, Ivie, of Habersham, Fain, of Union, Hill, of Troup, Knox, of Wayne, Briscoe, of Baldwin, Holt, of Muscogee, Echols, of Chattooga, Andrews of Wilkes, Grice, of Tatnall, Flewellen, of Upson, Terrell, of Decatur, Cook, of Macon, Howell, of Milton, Rushin, of Marion, Hyde, of Fannin, Fannin, of Morgan, Trippe, of Monroe, Lewis, of Greene, Davis, of Dade, Wallace, of Taylor. The Committee retired, and after consultation, through their Chairman, reported the following preamble and resolutions : Nothing can test more thoroughly the capacity of a peopie for self-government, than the manner in which that people meet those crises in their his tory which threaten the destruction of their form | of government. Such a crisis is now upon the whole American people, and is pressing heavily upon the Southern States of this Union. This is the people’s gov ernment, and into the hands of the people alone should its preservation, its reformation, or its destruction be committed. In the patriotism, good sense and discrimiuatingjustice of the peo ple, is our only reliance now. It. is admitted on all hands that the Southern States have a common interest in the issues now pressing upon us. The action of our State must af | feet all. Mutual confidence and good feeling must be the only sheet anchor of safety to each and to all. Ordinaryjrespectfand good faith require that when all are to be so deeply affected, none should act singly, without first consulting all, who arewill iug to counsel, and 4his conclusion becomes ir resistible iu this crisis, when so many of the citi zens of the Southern States are expressing a de- I sire for consultation and co-operation, and are actually preparing for such consultation and co operation. Therefore we do resolve. Ist. That we repudiate the idea that either of the slaveholding States will, under any circum stances, prove untrue to her own. interest, and the interest of her sister States, and the success of a common canse. 2d. That we repudiate that delusive policy of secession first and co-operation afterwards. In terest, safety, aiul success, and ordinery respect to our sister slaveholding States, require consul tation with at least as many as will consult, be fore secession ; and then if secession be deemed advisable, co-operation in secession and co-opera tion after secession. Whatever mode, manner, or time of redress be adopted, the first step to its successful accomplishment is to unite the counsels of those who are equally aggrieved, and who are simultaneously demanding redress, or at least as many as will unite with their counsels. 3d. That iu hasty, ill-advised, separate State secession, we can see nothing but divisions among our people, contusion among the slave holding States, strife around our firesides, and ultimate defeat to every movement for the effective redress of our grievances. 4th. That in the consultation and co-operation of the slaveholding States, we recognize the main tenance of our rights and equality, the presrva tion of our laws, the peace of our families, the security of our property, the harmony of our peo ple, the peaceful division of the public property if I’ disunion must ensue, and the success of whatever plan ot redress may be agreed on and adopted. sth. That in selecting delegates to the aoproach iug Convention, we urge the people to see to it that they do not cast their votes for those who are in favor of the immediate secession of Georgia alone; and avoid doubt on this subject, so vital to our success and peace, we respectfully suggest that the people require every candidate seeking their votes, to take distinct position against im mediate separate State secession, at least until a proper effort for co-operation has failed. Mr. Jones, of Newton, in a few appropriate re marks, burying all former party differences, which were warmly responded to by the meeting, moved the adoption of the resolutions. Mr. Trippe of Monroe, and Mr. Paine of Telfair, made a few remarks, responding to and endors ing the resolutions. The resolutions were unanimously adopted. The Committee also reported the” following ad dress from this meetingto the slaveholding States: ADDRESS To the people of South Carolina, Alabama, Missis sippi and Florida, in delegate conventions assefn blea, and to such, other Southern States as may assemble before the meeting of the Georgia Con vention. The people of Georgia, in many very large pri mary meetings, have frequently requested that the Southern States of this Union, should meet at an early day, by their delegates in convention, and confer together. The same meetings have urged the present General Assembly of Georgia to inaugurate this movement. Before these meetings were held, this Assembly had passed a bill for the call of a Convention of the people, and to that Convention it seems all our prominent men were understood to have recommended the reference of all other questions on our Federal relations. In deference to that recommendation, the General Assembly, as such, has taken no further action. The Convention of the people of Georgia will assemble on the 16th day of January next, aud dountless that Convention will'appoint delegates to a General Convention of the Southern States. Before this, the Conventions of our sister States of South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi and Flori da, and perhaps others, will have assembled for action. In behalf of the people of Georgia, whom we represent, this meeting, composed of members of the General Assembly, does most respectfully but earnestly ask the people of our sister States, above named, to appoint and legates to such a Gen eral Convention of Southern States, or of as many as will convene; and that until such General Con vention shall assemble and deliberate, no final separate State action shull be taken on the ques tion of our longer continuance as members of the present confederacy of States. We urge this request, deeply feeling its impor tance to all, and to our great common cause. We have but one intetest; we are separate inde pendent sovereignties, but in welfare, feeling and destiny we are one indivisible people. The action of one State must affect all the South ern States. The separation of one from all must greatly involve not only the feelings, but the in terests of all. No slaveholding State can live for itself. We must live with ana for each other. — God has not mingled more indistinguishably the, drops of water in our rivers than lie has linked indissolubly the destinies of our people and their children forever. „ lii climate, soil, productions and systems of labor we are as identical with each other as wo are separate from the bulance of the world. Let us consult together then. Let us so act that all may agree. Our people must be united. Our common in terests must be preserved. Our common move ment must be successful. Common dangers must be avoided. Our equality—our honor shall be preserved. All these cun devise a co-operation. Not for our enemies, but for ourselves, our safety, our children, our peace, our necessities, we beseech you so to order your action, as that consultation and co-operation shall not be defeated, but se cured. Nearly all our sister Southern States are, even at this writing, moving to this end. Wc believe all—most certainly a very large majority--will unite in such a Convention. Incalculable embar rassments and dangers can thereby bo avoided, and incalculable good ensured. We know we cannot be mistaken as to success, when we appeal to the noble chivalry of the Southern people not to take a final step, which must inevitably and irretrievably, in its very na ture, involve all, without at least offering to con sult with as many as will consult; and above all, that such action will not be taken against the ur gent request of those who beg that consultation, and who are now moving to secure it. We feel it is only necessary to muke known our wishes, and by*our brethren they will be respec ted. (Signed by 52 members of the Legislature.] The address was unanimously adopted. Mr. Howell of Milton, moved that the proceed ings of this meeting, with address, be forwarded to all the slaveholding States; that they be pub lished in the Recorder, and all papers of the State in favor of co-operation, which motion was adopt ed. The proceedings of the meeting throughout were characterized by great good feeling, a libe ral, catholic, true Southern spirit, aud entire unanimity. On motion of Mr. llill of Troup, the meeting adjourned. John Billups, President. Wm. W. Paine, ) Secretaries J. A.

From the Washington Independent. Letter from tle Hon. Robert Toombs. Wasbington, Ga., Dec. IS, 1860. Gentlemen: Your letter of the 10th inst., invi ting me, on behalf of the citizens of Danburg and its vicinity, to address you at an early day, was received yesterday. I regret very much that my public duties deprive me of the pleasure of accept ing your kind invitation. But I shall be com pelled to leave for Washington City day after to morrow, and unless the state of the public busi ness wiil allow me to return during the Christmas holidays, I shall have no day at my command be fore your election ; if I should return, I will take great pleasure iu meeting you in council on the state of the couutry. The Legislature of Georgia have unanimously declared that the present cri sis demands resistance, and have unanimously voted to call a Convention of the people to deter mine the mode and measure of redress. This is plain language—it is easily understood. It pro poses to resist wrongs at the time and in the manner best calculated to obtain redress. The Legislature, also, unanimously voted a million of dollars to arm the people of Georgia, in order that they may repel by force whatever force may be brought to resist the measures of redress the people may adopt. Theu upon the questions, that we have wrongs, and that we intend to redress them by and through the sovereignty of Georgia, the State is unani mous. What then is likely to divide us V It can not be the mode of redress, for it seems all look to secession, separation from the wrong doers, as the ultimate remedy. The time when this remedy ought to be applied seems to be the most impor tant, if not the only point of difference between us ; we ought not to divide upon this point. Many persons think the remedy ought to be applied im mediately, others at a day not to extend beyond the 4th of March next, others again supposing that too short a time for the convenient action of the Abolition States would extend it only to what might be fairly deemed a reasonable and con venient time within which our wrongs might be redressed by the wrong doers. I would strongly advise that there be no division among those who hold either of those opinions. While I personally favor the position of those who are opposed de laying longer than the 4th of March next, I cer tainly would yield that point to earnest and honest men who were with me in principle, tut who are more hopeful of redress from the aggressors than I am, especially if any such active measures should be taken by the wrong doers as promised to give us redress in the Union. But to go beyond the 4th of March we should require such prelimi nary measures to be taken before, as would, with reasonable certainty, lead to adequate redress, and in the meantime we should take care that the delay gives no advantages to the adversary and takes none from ourselves. But let us not deceive ourselves as to what is redress and how we can secure it in the Union. The open and avowed object of Mr. Lincoln, and the great majority of the active men of his party, is ultimately to abolish slavery in the States. This he himself expressly avows, and there is not a single public man of his party in the United States, within my knowledge, who does not avow his hostility to the relation of master and servant as it exists among us. The means by which they seek to accomplish this result are many, but all consistent, ana all efficient to produce that result. The first, is that we shall be driven out of the Territories by law. Upon this Mr. Lincoln, and his party are unanimously agreed, and it is the corner stone of the entire Abolition party in the Uuited States, and is planted in the Chicago plat form. This they propose to do iu violation of the Constitution of the United States as generally con strued from the beginning of the Government and in express violation of that instrument as ex pounded by the Supreme Court of the United States. 2. They propose to exterminate slavery by abrogating, by State laws, that portion oftlic Con stitution which provides for the return of fugitive slaves to their owners. 3. To weaken and destroy it, by protecting those who steal slaves and murder the inhabitants of the slave-bordering States, iu pursuit ot revolu tionary schemes for its abolition, in direct viola tion of that clause of the Constitution which re quires such criminals to be given up. 4. To destroy it, by excitiug revolt and insur rection among the slaves; this, the pulpit, the press, the political orators, aud, indeed, we may say the great body of the Abolition party in Con gress, in the State Legislatures, and everywhere else, are daily endeavoring to accomplish. How is it possible to remedy these enormous evils in the Union ? There is but one mode, one only; all others are delusions and snares, intend ed to lull the people into false security, to steal away their rights, and with them the power of redress. This mode is by amendments to the Constitution of the United States. In the Union the States cannot make contracts with each other; all departments of the Government would disre gard them. To repeal laws hitherto passed by the Abolition States would no”tbe redress, they would re-enact them ‘next year. The amendments of the Constitution should be such as could neither be evaded or resisted by the Abolition States, and should not rest for their efficacy upon the oaths of Abolitionists—no oaths can bind them. The Constitution provides two modes for its own amendment. Article sth is as follows on the point before us : “The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose amendments to this Constitution, which shall be valid, to all intents and purposes, ns part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three-fourths of the States, or by conventions in three-fourths thereof, as the one or the other mode of ratification may be proposed by the Cougress,” Ac. Thus, you perceive, the road is plain; it is easily tested : you can here find a test which ought to satisfy every honest resistance man in Georgia. Do this —offer iu Congress tuch amendments of the Constitution as will give you full and ample security for your rights ; then if the Black Re publican party will vote for the amendments, or even a majority of them in good Jfaith, they can be easily carried through Congress'; then I think it would be reasonable and (air to postpone final action until the Legislatures of the northern States could be conveniently called together for definite action on the amendments. If they intend to stop this war on your rights and your property, they will adopt such amendments at once in Congress; if they will not do this, you ought not to delay an hour after the 4th of March to secede from the Union. This is a Constitutional andeft'ectual ultimatum, means something, can be tested—can be tested at once. This will be putting planks where they are good for something, if thev are the right kind of planks; but putting planks in your Georgia platform, is putting them where our experience teaches us they are powerless for good, and onlv subject us to the jibes and jeers of our enemies. A cart lead of new planks in the Georgia plat form, will not redress ono wrong, nor protect one right of the people of Georgia. Demand addi tional Constitutional securities from j our confe derates, and if they are refused, confederate with such of them as are willing to grant them, or de fend them vourselves. I am truly your friend and fellow-citizen, R. Toombs. Messrs. E. B. Pullin, W. T. Anderson, W. 11. Lindsay, J. H. Walton, G. B. Bunch, W. M. Jones, Geo. T. Sanders, S. D. Heard, W. M. Pullin. Tub Country Safb.—We attended the meeting of the separate secessionists yesterday, at Mount Moriah Church in the northern part of Muscogee county. It was rather an unfavorable day, and 9n this account, the turn out was small, not ex ceeding fifty persons. There were nine speakers on the ground—eight separate State secessionists and one co-operationist. The meeting was called by the separate State secessionists—but Col In gram—co-operfltionist, being present, was given a place among the speakers us a matter of courte sy. The meeting was addressed by B. A. Thorn ton, Esq., Col. Porter Ingram, John A. Jones and R. J. Moses, Esq., aud Col. James N. Ramsey, the nominee of the separate State secessionists, for the Convention—all except Col. Ingram in advo cacy of immediate separate State secession. Col. Ingram was for secession, but desired the co-ope ration of at least eight of the cotton States, lie was in favor of the conventions, on their assem bling, appointing a commission to visit each other, to consult and auviso and arrange for a concert of action, that all might retire from the Union on the same day, and to wait the action of the other three cotton States of Louisiana, Arkansas and Texas, which he felt certain would co-operate when they saw the other five ready and waiting for them. The other speakers all opposed the proposition of Col. Ingram, and plead earnestly and eloquently for their favorite idea—separate State secession. When Col. Ramsey, the last speaker concluded, John A. Jones, Esq., read to the meeting, a series of resolutions endorsing their dootrines aud their ticket. They were adopted, rectivmg about 15 votes —that being the strength of the advocates of sepa rate State secession in the meeting. Those op posed to them, but who favor co-operation and concert with other slave States, declined to vote through courtesy. Os those present from the surrounding country, about five to one were for co-operation.— Colum bus Sun, 18f h. The Test Case Between Kentucky and Ohio.— The following is given as an explanation of the case by which the Governor of Kentucky designs testing the responsibilities of a State under that clause of the Constitution requiring the return of fugitives from justice : ’ Some time ago a man named Lago was indic ted in the WoocFford Circuit Court for enticing a slave to escape from his owner. Lago escaped, and took refuge in Ohio. Governor Magoffin made a requisition upon Governor Dennison, of Ohio, for the return of the fugitive from justice. Governor Dennison refused to issue his warrant for the arrest and surrender of Lago, upon the ground that, by the laws of Ohin, negroes are not property, and that he did not recognize the act committed by Lago as an offence. “We understand the Attorney General of Ken tucky. assisted by able counsel, will, at the re quest of Governor Magoffin, institute in the United States Supreme Court such steps as they may think most available to coerce a compliance with the Constitution by Governor Dennison. Failing in that, additional legislation will be asked from Congress to provide for similar cases. The sub juct will be pushed to a final settlement, and the question determined whether the wrong is really without remedy.” ~OU FreabGarden Seeds.— TVe~ expect to recelveHur stock of GARDEN SEEDS this season, much earlier than usual.

Dr. J.

Medicine and physicians were abandoned in despair. As an experiment, I concluded to try a single dose of six of Brandeth’s Universal Vegetable Pills, on an empty stomach, early in the morning. The first dose seemed to arouse all the latent energies of my exhausted frame. I feared the worst—their purgative effect was different from anything 1 had ever used or heard of. At length this effect ceased, and 1 set m ed lighter and breathed freer. That evening I was Indeed sen sibly better and slept BOumlly all night.
