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. —. —j- ——— ‘James A.

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.

There are 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 brought to mv notice, in visiting different parts of the country, for the purpose of repeating my ad- ! dress on the character of Washington, and, if I do not mistake, will furnish interesting materials for fw,* eW u* l^Pse P a Pcrs.

(Kv > Court f BUlt , before th e Campbell countv f° r the of services rendered to 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,” [ To be conclude!/ in our next.] 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.
