Democratic Consistency.
The whig presses appear very much puzzled
to know how it is, that the Democrats a few
years back could resolve, “That the people of
the South do not ask of Congress to establish
the institution of slavery, in anv of the territory
that maybe acquired by the United States ; they
simply require that the inhabitants of each Ter
ritory shall be left free to determine for them
selves whether the institution of Slavery shall
or shall not form a part of their social system,”
•and twin bo opposed to the admission of Califor
nia. They appear to think we are wofully in
consistent. They remind me. when publishing
our Resolutions and asking if they are not good
authority, of a scene I witnessed in court, in my
young days : A member of the bar read a great
many authorities, and ended by asking the Judge
if they were not good law ? The Judge told him
his authorities were very good, if he only had a
case to fit them. We do not deny the princi
ples contained in our Resolutions, but we do
deny their application to any case now before
Congress, We say that California should be
divided into some four or five Territories, and
when any one of them has tiie requisite amount
*f population, let it lie admitted, provided she
applies with a republican Constitution. Estab
lish Territorial Governments, where all persons,
whether from the North or South, can go and
carry their property, (slaves included,) and where
there is a sufficient number to make a State, let
them form a Constitution, and
be admitted or prohibited, we will not complain.
Rut there is no inconsistency in our entering our
solemn protest against the admission of Califor
nia, with her present mongrel population and
territory enough to make a hundred such States
as Rhode Island. A Democrat.
The Pakkmax Murder. —Quite an excite-;
ment was occasioned several days since in Bos
ton, by the finding of a body in the water near
Roxbury, which was immediately recognized
as that of Dr. Parkman. Upon ilive.-ligation,
however, it turns out to be tiie body of Daniel
McCartney, a carriage smith, who disappeared
from his home in December last, and is sup- j
posed to have committed suicide.
Nashville Convention.
A public meeting, in answer to the call previously ,
made in the papers of tin's city, of the citizens of Mils- i
cogee comity, without distinction of-parly, was held {
in the Long Room of the Oglethorpe House, on Sat- ,
today evening, 9th inst. 1
The Meeting was organized by calling Dr. Thomas ‘
lloxkt to the Chair, and appointing A. 11. Cooper i
Secretary. I
The room, prepared and furnished with every ac- !
commodation bv the liberal hosts of that well known j
establishment, was soon occupied by a very large and j
respectable audience.
After the meeting was called to order, Mr. John
Koisytli made a short address, explaining the object
<>t the call, and offered the following preamble and
resolution:
Whereas, the Democratic members of the Georgia
Legislature lor the second Congressional District, in

the delegates to represent this District in the South
ern Convention, to lie held at Nashville, in June

said nomination, and recommend the nominee to the
suffrages of the people of this District.
Resolved, That of the county-of
he also nominated by this meeting, and recommended ,
to the people of the District as a suitable person to j
represent them in the Nashville Convention.
Resolved, That inasmuch as tiie time intervening
before the period appointed for the election of dele
gates by the people, is so short as to render it difficult
to effect the election of delegates in all the counties
of the District to a Convention, that this meeting re
commend to tin* people of the several counties to meet
and express their views of the nomination, made at
Milledgeville, and by this meeting—
On motion, the Chair was requested to appoint a
Committee of six gentlemen oi the Whig party, to
till the blank inTthe second resolution, with the name
of some proper and competent gentlemen of that party.
The Chairman appointed Hon. G. E. Thomas, H.
S. Smith. John Johnson, l*. A. Clayton, M. J. Craw

clined acting upon the committee, and after giving his
reasons, was excused bv the meeting ]
‘flie Chairman appointed A. S. Rutherford to fill
up the committee—which, having retired for a few
minutes, reported the name of Martin J. Crawford,
Esq. of Muscogee.
The report of the committee was accepted, agreed
to, and the resolutions unanimously adopted.
Upon motion of Col. S. Jones, it was
Resolved, That all the papers of this District,and
also the papers of the city of Macon, he requested to
publish the proceedings of this meeting.

livered by Col. S. Jones. M. J. Crawford, Esq and

{KtThk Wild Woman has been recently
again on the banks of the Navidad in Texas.
Mr. Glascock pursued her with the dogs and
threw a lasso upon her shoulders, which she elu
ded and escaped into a thicket. The creature
is about five leet high, and covered with reddish
brown hair, which is very long upon the head
and neck. It runs with the speed of a deer, and
coming to a creek, dropped a stick six feet long
and polished like glass. Several settlers who
have seen the stranger concur in believing her
to be a human being. Twelve years ago foot
marks of three were seen together, but within
the last year only the footmarks of one. have been
visible. It is thought some children were lost
or secreted in the woods, and have grown up
wild, livinc upon berries and such things as they
can steal from settlers.
! “Mestico ; Or, the War Path and its Incidents;
a Talc of the Creek Disturbances of 183G*—
by Y\ eslev C. Hodges.”
Such is the title of anew Novel which has
just been placed upon our table by deGraffenried
4* Robinson. Its title will at once arrest the at
tention of every body who lived in Western
Georgia during the stirring events which furnish
the incidents of this tale. The hero is the cele
brated Jim Henry, who is perhaps more inti
mately associated with the cruelties and atroci
ties of that brief war, than any other of his dusky
comrades. Many of the incidents narrated will
be feelingly recollected by the reader, and the
characters who figure in its pages will be at
once recognized. These circumstances, togeth.
er with the fact that the Author is well known in
this community, will, we doubt not, ensure for
the “Mestico” a wide circulation in this section. !
t
and its intrinsic merits will entitle it to a place
in many families, less acquainted with the history 1
it embraces.

in its appropriate place, the prospectus of this !

What the Press thiuk of the Blade.
The Yankee Blade is the very best paper ol its class :
which we receive. Its contents are varied and rich.
The editor’s own contributions overflow with a vivid
imagination—piquant, sparkling and racy ; the selec
tions are chaste and judicious. Its mechanical exe
cution is unexceptionable.—[Schenectady (N. Y\) ;
Cabinet.
The Blade is celebrated as the most spirited, amus
ing and interesting sheet in all New England. It j
has received the universal commendation of the Press, j
[Alleghany (N. Y.) Advocate.
The Yankee Blade we cannot forbear commending
as one of the ablest weeklies in the country, and in
literary rank it is on an equality with most of the
monthly magazines.—[N. Y. Golden Rule.
For style, execution, talent, and good taste, the
Yankee Blade is among the very first ot its class. It
is devoted to literature, wit, and story-telling, and
presents the best flowers that can be culled or grown j
in that field. VVe have always been glad to see, j
what is frequently wanting in many papers of this 1
class, a fearless expression of respect lor religion, and j
a healthy flow of correct moral sentiment.—[Boston I
Emancipator.
The Yankee Blade is the exponent and illustrator j
of that philosophy which old Burton did his best to j
make the companion of man in bis daily walk and j
conversation.—[N. Y. Dispatch.
One of the very best papers on this continent. It is
printed on a large and elegant sheet.—[N. Y. Spirit
of the Times.
The Yankee Blade for this week is “chuck full”
of spice. We say, as we have said before, that it is
the best weekly in the country. —[Albany Knicker
bocker.
The “Yankee Blade” is a capital paper. Weal
ways welcome it to our table, and our sensations on
opening it are just like those that one experiences on
entering a baker’s shop—an expectation of seeing
something fresh. —[Philadelphia Inquirer.
One of the best conducted and most truly original
journals in any country. —[N. Y. Star.
It is edited with a great deal of ability and humor,
and well merits the general favor it enjoys.—[Boston
Post.
We have the pleasure of being numbered among
I the exchanges of this valuable weekly. Its columns
are filled with spirited, amusing and instructive arti
i cles—and embracing original tales, beautiful poems,
j gleanings, sketches, jokes, whittlinps, scraps, news
items, &c. Take it, and be happy.—[Geneva (N. Y.)
| Gazette.
The Yankee Blade is the paper, if one wants to
get the world for one week in a condensed compass.
[Cohoes (N. Y.) Journal.
We have been trying for half an hour to say some
thing good about, this exquisite paper, but can’t find
any words quite strong enough just now. To call
it the keenest blade in the country, would be superflu
ous—the wittiest, would be needless, for that is well
known—the ‘pleasantest, every body knows that—the
best natured, why its enemies (if it has any) would
j aot gainsay such a statement—and as we cannot con
-1 veniently compare it with anything— but the Yankee
Blade —why, we ll stop our encomiums immediately.
VY lienever we open the Blade we put on gloves, be
ing invariably in fear ot getting our fingers cut, it is
so very sharp. We are only sorry that Boston claims
such a Blade, and New York does not.—[Holden’s
Dollar Magazine.
The Blade has a genial humor, a keen wit, and an
excellent taste withal. No hebdomadal is more wel
come to our table, or more tempting to our scissors.
[Rochester Daily American.
The Blade is conducted with signal ability,and we
are glad to know that the well-directed efforts of the
editor are appreciated by the whole country.—[Phil
adelphia City Item.
1 he \ankee Blade fully sustains its character as
the most witty and entertaining publication this side
the herring pond. The editor seems perfectly at
home in all the departments of “fun, frolick, and phi
losophy.”—[Cleveland (Ohio) Times.
There never was such a Blade as that same : none
of your vulgar mercantile jackknives, but a real “Ro
gers,” bidding ns look out for our fingers whenever
we open it.—[Si. Louis Reveille.
One of the few papers we think it worth while to
preserve. * * * * Better papers are exceedingly
