COLUMBUS, TUESDAY, DECEMBER **, ISSS.
W ell Done Georgia.
We have authority to announce the gratifying
fact, that all the Tax-Collectors of this State have
made their settlements at the Treasury on the day
prescribed by law. The small amount of SI,OOO
to 1500, still due of the taxes, will be paid in a few
daj’s as it resulted from wrong calculations of the
Collectors. This is surely an evidence of the pros
perity of the State and the promptness of her citi
xens to pay the burdens of government.
In examining the Comptroller General's report,
we find that in the years 1854 and 1855, before
the election of Peterson Thweatt Esq., that a little
over one-third and not ont-halj of the taxes of
those years were paid in on the day of settlement.
We trust that the example set by the Tnx-collec
tora in the year 1858 w ill be followed by Tax Collec
tors in the future and that our prompt, efficient
and energetic Comptroller, Peterson Thweatt Esq.,
will continue to receive that tribute of praise from
the people, which he so justly deserves to-day
and which he has won by his faithful services.

They save a heavy outlay for wagons, carts,

Quitman county—Hon. J. A Tucker
At a recent meeting in the new county of Quit
man, formed from the county of Randolph, the fol
lowing resolutions were adopted, to-wit:
•‘That in the death of the Hon. John A. Tucker
of Stewart, the county of’ Quitman bus lost one of
its earliest friends, the Senate and Bar an able

member.
“That we tender our heartfelt sympathies to

Mew York Ledger—Mount Vernon Papers,
lion. Edward Everett, the great orator and
scholar, has commenced his series of “Mount Ver
non papers” in the New York Ledger. lie will
write weekly, and will not confine himself exclu
sively to the discussion of the purchase of Mount
Vernon. So great a renown has Hon. Edward
Everett, and so eager are the intelligent readers
all over the country to peruse his writings, that
nearly a half million copies of the first No. of the
Lodger has been published, and “ten steam presses
have been at work day and night, for the past two
weeks” to supply the demand. It is an era in
Journalism, when statesmen like Lord Palmer
ston and Mr. Disraeli and Hon. Edward Everett,
take up the pen. It is no down for them—
they know well the power of the press—they re
spect its high calling—they have seen that the
“pen is mightier than the sword.” It is a matter
of congratulation with the friends of Robert
Bonner, Esq.,—the proprietor of the Ledger—
that he is reaping a fortune from this enterprise.
He well deserves it for his energy and persever
ance. We are permitted to elucidate the subject
of Mr. Everett's contributions by quoting one
passage.
Mr. Everett says :
“As they will generally be written under the
pressure of other engagements and duties, the
considerate readerwill not expect to find in them
that elaboration and finish which he has a right
to demand In compositions prepared at leisure,
especially when they yield an ample personal re
muneration to their authors. I can only endea
vor to do the best in my power under'the well
known circumstances of the ease, and candid
persons will judge them accordingly.
He then proceeded to add:
But though called the “Mount Vernon Papers,”
it is not intended that these articles should be ex
clusively or even chiefly taken up in discussing
the subject of the purchase of Mount Vernon, or
the topics connected or associated with it. They
will, indeed, lurnish an appropriate channel for
whatever information of an interesting character
I inay be able to offer the public on that subject.
It was one of tho chief inducements for underta-
King their preparation that they would afford me
an opportunity for the attempt to interest a very
large circle of readers in an enterprise which I
have so much at heart. 1 shall, accordingly, sub
mit to them from time to time an account of the
progress and prospects of the work, as far as they
tail under my observation. Besides this, the

many original portraits of him in existence, of
which a few remain to be described; numerous
autographic letters as yet unpublished ; and per
sonal relics of every description. Many of these
traditions and objects of interest are constantly

FOR THE COLUMBUS TIMES.
Gcm. Jefferson Davis and Judge Douglas on Slave
rj In the Territories.
Messrs. Editor*:—ln his great speech to the
“JJitsissipians,” in the Hall of Representatives ia
Jackson, on the Ilth November, in his own de
fense, Gen. Davis treats as “misrepresentation
and calumny,” the accusation that he has grown
cold in his regards for the “State Right* Democ
racy’ ‘or changed his former high Southern rights
position in any essential particular.
I do not propose a critical review of his su
perb oration. A more transcendently skillful and
intensely eloquent speech is scarcely to he found
in the language. Gen. Davis i a great man and
a noble one, and Mississippi has no right to mon
opolize his fame. I should, under no circum
stances, attempt to cast a shadow on thut burnish
ed shield which has so often on battlefield and in
council-hall gathered the rays of the sun of South
ern chivalry and honor, and poured them back in
a torrent of dazzling light and wildering glory
upon the shrinking eyes and fallen crests of the
enemies of the South.
My admiration for the genius und courage of
Gen. Davis forbid this. Spell-bound by his pa
triotism and eloquence, I shall not contest on
paper the honors won on the “perilous ridge of
battle” at Monterey and Buena Vista. I have
no ambition to hold up apolitical banner before
that “regiment which was formed square across
the plain, and there stood motionless as a rock,
silent as death, and eager as a grey hound for the
approach of the enemy, at least nine times num
erically their superiors.” I shall shout no party
shibboleth in reply to “the angry crack of the
Mississippi rifle”—nor venture a political theory
in the angle, or upon the edge, or anywhere in
the neighborhood of that immortal “V. against
whose “living wall” the enemy dashed his host
and fell in defeat und death.
No! No! We cherish in grateful admiration
the “memory of the gallant dead who died at
Monterey and Buena Vista"—and we honor the
living, who came thence to adorn the annals of
their country with the record of noble deeds and
to illuminate her councils with no mean states
manship and noble eloquence. It were mere bru
tal baseness to forget such men as Quitman
and Davis. We may well ho sparing of criticism
if Jefferson Davis be the subject of it; and if the
occasion should ever require it, we might forgive
much and even turn away in silence and bear,
what it might not be safe to forgive.
Whatever, therefore, Jefferson Davis may “have
said or done—however he may have defined his
position, wc arc not his critics nor his censors. —
Our object is simply to enquire into his true posi
tion, and to give the country the benefit of his real
opinions. If we shall think that he has changed
his former views, and is rather less a Southern
Rights man and rather more a Union man than
formerly, we at least countenance no insinuation
of unworthy motives.
There are three points of attack to which Gen.
Davis confines his defense, and these outside of
the general merits of his military and political
character, cover the whole ground of his South
ern Rights consistency or orthodoxy. These re
spect—
-Ist. The coincidence of his own views with
those of Judge Douglas upon the rights of slavery
in the territories and “Squatter Sovereignty” in
general.
2. The real meaning of his “4th of July speech
at sea,” in characterizing certain politicians as
“trifling politicians”—whom he meant.
3d. What he meant by saying in that same
sea speech “and this great country will remain
united” in spite of tho “trifling politicians,” whom
he likened to “mosquitos on the horns of the buf
falo.”
I It seems to me mo that Gen. Davis has chang
ed the position he occupied as a leader of tho
the Son them Rights party of 1851 for a more
“national” and “conservative” one. as the cant
goes. Let him be the witness in his own case,
and take the evidence afforded by this very Jack
son speech. In 1851 he says ho “favored a con
vention of the Southern States th.at we might
take counsel together, as to the future which was
to be anticipated from the legislation of 1850.”
In 1851, then, Gen. Davis agreed with the Sou
{ijjjthat the Compromise measures
South. S# great did he deem the outrage upon
Southern interests and honor thnt he “favored a
Convention of the Southern States,” with a view
to provide against the threatened evils of the “fu
ture”—that dark future which rose up before us,
omiuousof disunion “as a last alternative”—the
future so clouded by “the Legislation of 1850.”
It is true he “acquiesced” in that legislation un
der the decision of Mississippi and the South.—
So did we all, if the submission forced upon us can
be called acquiescence.
Let us see how thorough and hearty has been
the acquiescence of Gen. Davis, and in this per
haps a distinction may be found between him
and the “great body of the States Rights democ
racy.” Gen. Davis’s acquiescence amounts to a
wholesale adojjtion of the faith and practice of the
Compromises —to a total abandonment of our
rights as Slaveholders in the TERRITORIES.
It will be remembered that the very turning
point of the controversy of 1850—’51 respected
our territorial rights. Vast and fertile regions
had then been newly acquired by the war with
Mexico, aud the attempt on the part of Northern
fanatics to exclude Southern property from these
regions by the Wilinot Proviso, or other govern
ment measures, aroused the South to an investi
gation of her rights, and a shameful surrender of
them.
In 1851, Gen. Davis thought the South entitled
to share in the benefits of tho common territory ;
entitled to go into any territory with slavery.-
The Southern Rights party still think so. What
says Jefferson Davis ? It is quite true that he
quotes and often repeats the Dred Scott decision,
and insists that “no acting undei the
United States, whether legislative, executive or
judicial, has a right to draw such a distinction,
(a distinction between slavery and other proper
ty,) or deny to it the benefit of the provisions and
guarantees which have been provided for the pro
tection of private property, against the encroach
ments of the government.” This sufficiently an
tagonizes Wilmot Provisoism, or other government
al exclusion of slavery from the territories. But,
if the South may be as effectually excluded from
the territories by another process, to which the
Federal Government may not be a party, what
boots it to the South, that the government shall
fold its arms and quietly see property in slaves
cut down by territorial usurpation ? Gen. Da
vis himself says, with reference to the late contest
in Illinois, between Judge Douglas and Lincoln,
“I cannot be compelled to choose between men,
one of whom asserts the power of Congress to de
prive us of a constitutional right, and tho other
one denies the power of Congress in order to
transfer it to the territorial legislature. Neither
the one nor the other has any authority to sit in
judgment on our rights under tho Constitu
tion.”
Now ran it be credited that Gen. Davis him
self is exactly that man, who “only denies the
power of Congress” to exclude slavery from the
territories “to transfer it to the territorial legisla
ture that as fully and emphatically as Judge
Douglas himself, he a fir ms this “Squatter Sover
eignty ?” We think that this is the truth, and
shall proceed to array the evidence upon which
we build this opiniou.
Of course wo do not forget that with some acri
mony, General Davis, in this very speech, repudi
ates the “heresy” of “squatter sovereignty”—that
he treats the accusation of it, ns against himself,
with almost as much sublime scorn, as if it were
a calumny against “the dead who died at Monte
rey and Buona Vista.” But the question recurs
in spite of us, and of his spirited declamation—
what is the truth ? What has Gen. Davis said and
what does he noir sag respecting the power of the
territorial legislature over slavery and tho lights
of slaveholders in the territories ?
For “the South” and “the Democracy both in
the North and the South” he disavows the “Con
stitutional power” of Congress to “ establish” as
well as to “prohibit” slavery “iu the territories”
and defines the “policy” to be ‘‘not to interfere on
one side or the other, but to protect each individ
ual in his Constitutional right—leaving it to
every independant community to determine and ad
just all domestic questions as in their wisdom
may seem best.”
What does Gen. Davis think it is to “protevt
each individual in his Constitutional right f” and
Then and ho>c does he think an “indroondoat
•ommunity” may “determine and adjust the ques
tion of slavery in a territory ?—and what does he
mean by “the policy” of uot “interfering on one
side or the other ?”
The slaveholder, he says, as au -Individual,’ has
a “right” to carry his slave into a territory. It
was a “judicial question,” he says, after the pass
age of tho Nebraska-Kansas bill, and thejSuprenjo
Court has decided it in favor of Southern prop
erty. It is therefore his “Constitutional right”—
but how is it to he enforced, according to the present
Southern Rights faith of the gallant Senator ?
Why it is a “right” without “a remedy J” Au
excellent recipe for good broth, but no beef to put
into the pot! the Irishman’s mill-seat without-any
water to carry the machinery ! Hear him. “If
the inhabitants of any territory should refuse to
enact such laws aud police regulations as would
give security to their property or to his, (the emi
grant slaveholder's) it would be rendered more or
less valuless, in proportion to the difficulty of
holdiug it without such protection. In the ease
of property in the labor of man, or what is usually
called slave-property, the insecurity would be so
great that the owner could not, ordinarily, retain
it. Therefore, though the right would remain, the
remedy being withheld, it would follow that the
owner would be practically debarred by the cir
cumstances of the case, from taking slave proper
ty into a territory where the sense of the inhabi
tants was oppose to its introduction. So much for
the oft refuted fallacy of forcing slavery upon
any community.” Whether this was intended to
be satisfactory to the free-soil squatter sovereign
ty democrats of Portland or not, it is manifest
they could have little reason to quarrel with so
cunningly argued and amiable a surrender of the
“remedy” of the slaveholder in the territory
against hostile legislation. The “right” without
the “remedy” has been so often and so harmless
ly yielded to the South thnt there could be no
thing new or alarming in the assertion ofa “right”
without “a remedy.” Such facility in Jefferson
Davis, as so effectually disposed of Southern
Rights without the form even uf a “compromise,”
must have been irresistible!
That is a fatal admission of Gen. Davis that
“the power to establish slavery in a Territory,”
“must necesarily involve the power to prohibit it.”
This is a mere sleigh f-at-hand play upon words.
There is not a-parth-h- of sense or veri similitude
even, iu it. lie might as well say the governmen
tal power to pm.icet life involves the power to de
stroy it, and th. reupon denj T the power to punish
murder. It i- x ridiculous party see-saw, a cant
and catch-word that a Senator and Presidential
aspirant ought to be ashamed of. It is pure “Ea
ton logic” by which a “ horse-chestnut ” was prov
ed to he “a chestnut horse !” almost as bad as the
Steam Doctor’s prescription in Alabama, that the
patient should have the soup made o! “a sorrel
sheep,” instead ot “sheep sorrel.” When told
there was no such thing as a. “ sorrel sheep,” lie
said “well—kill the sorrel horse, for the book said
horse sorrel would do as well as sheep-sorrel!”
The truth is that the Constitution establishes sla
very everywhere, prima facie, ami whatever the
Constitution establishes Congress is bound to pro
tect. The Supreme Court decides that slavery is
universal property and property by the Constitu
tion besides, and goes into the Territories, like
any other property. This “ establishes ” it. Let
Congress protect it, and give it not that protection
which land requires, or horses require, or Rank
stock requires, but the protection which Slavery
requires! If it is entitled to protection at all, it
is entitled to protection suitable to its nature. —
How then can Gen. Davis approve a party policy
“not to interfere on one side or the other l” This
is precisely Douglas’ policy and the policy of Nor
thern Democracy. Southern rights policy — nev
er !
But Gen. Davis explodes the “oft repeated fal
lacy of FORCING Slavery upon ANY communi
ty” —Ah ! And is it then • forcing ” slavery upon
a community, to “interfere” and demand Con
gressional protection for that “property” which
the Constitution carries into a Territory ? Hence
ho says “though the right would remain, the rem
edy being withhold, it would follow that the own
er would he practically debarred by the circum
stances of the case from taking slave property in
to a Territory where the sense of the inhabitants
was opposed to its introduction.” This then is
<he DEMOCRATIC circumstantial PROVISO !
•.’■-■ “ ‘ U” tc
crag slavery upon any community, and a “falla
cy” according to Gen. Davis; and he is vet a
SOUTHERN RIGHTS man of 1850.
What more does Douglas say than this ? What
more does any Northern Free-soil democrat want?
Indeed, Douglas scarcely goes so far. He says
the “Territorial Legislature “ mag deuy the le
gal “police regulations necessary to tho protection
of slavery ,“and so essentially exclude it’ and says
this is the “ misfortune of Slavery” “that it re
quires extraordinary Legislative guards; but
does not quite say, though doubtless ho thinks,
like HANZ, the Dutchman’s son, that it would
be a “fallacy” for Congress to “protect” slavery
in the Territories.
Gen. Davis says the Territorial Legislature
OUGHT to protect Slavery ; but if it does not
and will not, there ia .“no remedy.” Judge Doug
las says : the Territorial Legislature may or may
not protect it, and if it does not, there is no rem
edy.
Pray what is the difference ?
“Optic’s keen it takes I ween, *
To see, what is not to be seen.”
How strongly do these puerilities of these two dis
tinguished Senators, contrast with the open, man
ly, pro-slavery, Southern Rights stand of Gov.
Wise of Ya.—that Congress is bound to PRO
TECT, Slavery in the Territories, just ns it pro
tects the right to reclaim fugitive slaves, in the
States whieh refuse to deliver them up ! Both
rights are Constitutional, he argues, and neither
without a plain and ample ••REMEDY.” And
yet Douglas is to be forced upon us, as the Dem
ocratic candidate for the Presidency in 1800, by
the pressure of North-western numbers or Davis
or some such Tertium Quid as Hunter is to be man
aged upon us, by a CONGRESSIONAL CAU
CUS !
It is time for the South to apply to herself the
advice of Mr. Webster to the men of Boston, and
“conquer her prejudices.” lIENRY‘A. WISE of
Acoomac, is the man who always and ever has
been with the advance guard of the pro-slavery
party ; and stands there to-day, banner and lance
in hand, battling for our Territorial rights—
without evasion—apology, recantation, or “pali
nodes,”

The Monroe Doctrine.
The National Intelligencer” on Saturday has a
long und elaborate history of the Monroe Doctrine.
It recapitulates the point, established beyond suc
cessful controversy, as follows:
1. That the Monroe declaration of 1823, in
both its phases, had its origin in the changed re
lations and new responsibilities imposed on the
several States of the American Continents arising
especially from the emancipation uf the Spanish l
Colonies, and rendering it conducive to the inter
est of all that the American Continents should 1
not be subject to future colonization by any Euro
pean Power as waste and unoccupied territory ; j
and that no foreign State or States should bo al
lowed to intervene in the domestic affairs of any
American people for the purpose of repressing re
publican institutions.
2. That the Monroe declaration, in so far as it !
related to the threatened intervention of the Holy
Alliance in the concerns of the Spanish-American
States, was intended to meet a particular contin
gency of events, and, therefore, passed away with
the occasion which called it forth.
3. That the Monroe doctrine, in so far as it re
lates to the colonization of the American Conti
nent by any European Power, was not intended
to bind the United States to guard the territory of
the New World from such occupation by Europeau
States ; but was intended to indicate, as an im
portant principle of American public policy, that
“each State should guard by its own means
ugainst the establishment of any future European
colony” within the jurisdiction of its flag. That
is, the American Coutineuts were no longer held
open to colonization as derelict territory, capable
of occupation by right of discovery and settle
ment.
4. That the “Monree doctrine” was not in any
proper sense “a pledge,” and as such was espe
cially discarded by the democratic party.
The current interpretation of the “Monroe doc
trine” has, therefore, no foundation in the truth
of hiitory; aad. if 4efdd it all, am*t b ds.
fended on its intrinsic merits, as a proposition
wholly distinct and different from that which was
conceived by its author or affirmed by its first
promulgator, whose destiny it has been to give his
honored nam# to a principle for which he never
contended.
