Democratic Convention
Wo publish in another column, paragraphs from
tho Savannah Express, and Lumpkin Palladium
in reference to the late call of a Convention by the
Democratic members of the Legislature. TV e
shall continue to acquaint our readers with the
opinions of the press and the people, as they
shall continue to utter their condemnation of the
action of that body. It is truly gratifying to see
the unanimity of sentiment upon this subject.—
From a few quarters comes the meek tone of ac
quieseenoe, but nowhere, outside of tho legisla
tive halls have we seen tho movement openly
justified. The largely prevailing opinion is in
favor of standing by tho Executive Committee,
whose only office is to discharge the duty from
which a portion of our democratic legislators
kindly seel: to relieve them. Indeed, it would
be strange wore itothorwise. Two hundred and
ten voters in the State, (supposing tho democrats
in the legislature unanimous in tho matter) meet,
without any delegation of power, for the purpose,
and assume to act for the rest of the sixty thou
sand; and, what is worse, when tho chosen
agents of the latter dare to discharge the trust
for which they were appointed, declare their ac
tion nugatory, and demand obedience es tho par
ty to their behest. Did the arrogance of man ever
rise to a sublimer altitude ? We make a mistake;
we beg pardon ; wo are obliged to our democratic
friends for their forbearance in not appointing
the time for tho assembling of the Charleston
Convention, or changing the time already named
by the National Democratic Committee. Being
members of the Georgia Legislature, they are
ex officio, everything, and tho people should bo
profoundly grateful for such amazing modesty
and eondosconsion.
But, seriously, the course for the people to pur
sue is straightforward and simple. An unautho
rized Convention has appointed delegates to rep
resent the democracy of the State in the Nation
al Convention at Charleston on the 23d of April
next. They, in reality, represent an infinitesi
mal fraction of tho democratic party of Georgia,
and their credentials will not be worth the paper
on which they may be written. The Democratic
Executive Committee which was appointed by a
Convention, of the whole party in the State, for
the express and sole purpose of fixing the date for
the meeting of the party Conventions, has dis
charged that duty, and appointed tho second
Monday in March next, the day for the delegates
chosen by the people to meet in Milledgoville, and
select a representation for tho party in the Na
tional Convention. Let the latter call be heeded.
Let the people throughout the State hold their
county meetings, and appoint their delegates to
the March Convention, and the action of this
body, bearing the stamp of authority from the
people, will be endorsed by the democracy of the
Nation, while the rossolves of tho self-appointed,
bogus convention will tako their proper rank
among “the things that were.”
Editorial Change—Ealnbrldgc Argus.
The last number of the Argxis contains an
announcement of the withdrawal of Wm. F.
Hall, and the installation of Hugh M. King as
principal Editor of that journal. We part
with Mr. Hall with regret, and hope that the
profession which shall henceforth claim his at
tention, will return both pleasure and profit as
the wages of his labor.
To Mr. King, we extend the hand of fellow
ship, and give a cbrdial and fraternal welcome.
Knowing his ability as a writer, and his pos
session, in an eminent degree, of that still
rarer, editorial talent, we sincerely congratu
late the readers of the Argus upon his acces’
sion to the control of its fortunes. As locum
temens of the chair editorial, .and as contribu
tor, the Times has often been indebted to his
vigorous and graceful pen. We trust that
from his new vocation he may reap honor and
profit, and that the citizens of Bainbride, among
whom he has lixed his home will fully appre
ciate the value of the social treasure they
have gained. Mr. King assumes the duties
of Editor with the following graceful intro
duction :
“Our connection with this journal commen
ces with the present number—a connection
which we trust may redound to the mutual
benefit of our patrons and ourself.
As an editor, it is due to our readers, and
just to us, that the general principles by which
we shall be guided, be, in some measure, un
derstood.
In what We conceive to be our course of
duty, firmly and resolutely we shall go, heed
less of the cavillings or censures of those
whose conceptions of interest or policy may
be at variance with our convictions of
right. We will revile no man because he may
honestly differ with us; but wherever corrup
tion dares to raise its loathsome front, there,
according as our strength is, shall our blows
fall thick and fast.
Our political principles are of the State
Rights Democratic school. Bound to the State
ot Georgia by all the tie* ot interest, nature
and association, our first great duty is the pre
servation of her honer, and the promotion of
her interests. We are for the Union while it
secures to the States co-equal rights, immuni
ties and honors. But when it is perverted
from this great purpose for which it was or
dained, and is made the screen behind which
a depraved and malicious fac.ion may devise
foul plots for the destruction of life or proper
ty ; or worse still, becomes in the hands of
the strong, a terrible agency of oppression
against the weak, then are w r e ready to de
nounce it as an unholy league; the disruption
of which, justice and self-preservation alike
demand.
In conclusion, we hope so to shape our ac
tions that we may alienate none whom the ta
lents of our predecessors have made patrons,
and so to demean ourself that we may merit
the commendation of the upright, as we ex
pect to receive the reproaches of the unjust.”
What South Carolina Should Do.—The
Mercury, without pretending to dictate, lays
down the following programme for the State of
South Carolina:
Let us neither attempt to lead the Southern
States, nor declare that we will follow them.—
South Carolina is a sovereignty, and should sim
plj tako care of herself. Let our Legislature
pass no more resolutions. Let it act,and pass only
resolutions of action. These may be three •
1. To arm the State.
2 To decline any caucus or convention with
any Northern State.
3 ‘ To J ote forno candidate for the Presidency
or Vice Presidency, who does not distinctly sup

$■ a- FOB THE TIMES.
Franklin, Ga., Dec. 7, 1859.
To the Editors of the Columbus Times :
Deab Sirs —As public journals are the me
diums through which the pooplo are enlightened
on all subjects touching their pecuniary welfare,
as well as their welfare in every other particular,
I presume I will hot be considered an intruder
on your time and duty if I call your attention to
an enterprise fraught with pecuniary interest to
tho people of Columbus and to the prosperity of
the city. I have reference to the navigation of
the Chattahoochee river with steamboats from
the falls above Columbus up tho river to this
town, and above this. It is true that the river i3
interspersed with a few shoals that aro obstruc
ted to a small extent, with rock, but there has
been a flat-boat slew or channel opened at the ox
ponse of the State from the Coweta Fails a few
miles above Columbus to this town and far above
this, and that channel is at all times deep enough
for steamboat navigation by boats of small draft,
but would have to be widened at some few points
which could be done at a small expense, and in
a short time. Now, lam well acquainted with
the lands on the Chattahoochee river, from Co
lumbus to this town and above, and I know that
the river bottom lands are the most productive
cotton lands in Middle or Western Georgia, and
I have no doubt but that there could be at least
twenty-five thousand bales of cotton shipped
down tho Chattahoochee river from a few miles
above this place and down on each sides of the
river to the Falls which are a few miles above
Columbus; and the trade would not be confined
alone to cotton, there would be a large quantity
of other agricultural products as as a quan
tity of lumber &c., and in return for the above
articles of trade there would be sold by the mer
chants of Columbus a vast quantity of merchan
dise to be shipped up the river. The next enquiry
is, how could tho freight be transferred from the
Chattahoochee Falls or shoals to Columbus and
back? In answer to,that enquiry, I would sug
gest the propriety of building a plank road and
draying the freight over said road, as the dis
tance would be short, perhaps the people of Co
lumbus could devise and put into execution a
better and more expeditious modo of conveyance.

From the Washington States and Union.
Tho Plot Deepens— Heavy Wilson of Massachusetts
Editor of the States and Union: —“The times
are out of joint.” Treason is abroad in tho land,
bold and barefaced. It was but the other day
that an alarming expose was made by which six
ty eight Black Republican members of the last
Congress, together with several other high func
tionaries of the North were implicated in a most
vile and wicked assault upon the rights of the
South and tho integrity of the Union. The
startling development has aroused tho indigna
nation of the patriotic masses of the whole coun
try. Another distinguished name is now added
to tho catalogue of traitors; another page is
written on the scroll of infamy. In a letter da
ted “Natick, Mass., Nov. 21, 1859,” written by
one Henry C. Wright to Old John Brown, and
enclosed to Gov. Wise for delivery, the follow
ing damning paragraph occurs.
‘•A very large and enthusiastic meeting of the
citizens of Natick, Massachusetts, without re
gard to political or religious creeds, was held last
evening for the purpose of considering and ac
ting on the following resolution:
“Whereas, resistance to tyrants is obedience to
God, therefore:
“Resolved, That it is the right and duty of the
slaves to resist their masters, and the right and
duty of the people of the North to incite them to
resistance and to aid them in it.
“This resolution was adopted by. the meeting
without a dissenting voice, though a United
States Senator (Henry Wilson) and a United
Statos Postmaster were present; yet not one word
was raised by them, nor by any one else, against
the resolution, nor the sentiments which it con
tains. The meeting appointed me a committee to
forward their resolution to you. Jn compliance
with their request, and with the promptings of
my own heart, I forward it to you.”
Here it will bo seen that the most atrocious
incendiarism and treason were inculcated by “a
large and enthusiastic meeting of the citizens of
Natick,* among whom was Henry Wilson a U.
S. Sonator; “yet not one word was raised by him
or any one else against the resolution, nor the
sentiments which it contains!” So, Henry Wil
son, the representative and guardian of the Com
monwealth of Massachusetts in the Senate of the
United Statos, gives his sanction and endorse
ment to the traitorous and devilish .declaration
“that it is the right and duty of the slaves to re
sist their masters, and the right and duty of tho
people of the North to incite them to resistance,
and aid them in it!”
Thus Henry Wilson stands before the country
a convicted traitor—a black incendiary an assas
sin and murderer in heart. Yet ho is the honor
ed Senator of Massachusetts, and has sworn to
support the Constitution of the United States. —
Far worse is his treason than that of old John
Brown. He is the Cataline of tho American Sen
ate, and should be ignominiously expelled from
that body. The welfare of tho country, the es
cutcheon of the Senate, the honor of the nation
demands it. Let the traitor be spurned as he
deserves ; let him be impeached at once, and
banished in disgrace from the council chambers
of the republic.
g No Meeting.
The Lumpkin Palladium of Dec. 18th says:—
The Democratic party of Stewart county failed
to meet last Saturday for the purpose of appoint
ing delegates to the State Convention on vhe Bth
inst. From this it will bo seen that wo but re
flected the sentiment of the party in our article of
last week condemning the action of the Demo
cratic Convention. Stewart will be represented
in the Convention of March, called by the Exec
utive Committee, the only legal body who had
power to call the Convention.
[Special Dispatch to the Char'eston Courier.
Mes-sage of Gov. Wise.
Richmond, Va., Dec. 6.— Gov. Wise in his
Message to the Legislature, gives a history of the
Harper’s Ferry invasion. He thinks .the motive
of the North is to see whether we will face a dan
ger now scaled in blood, and says we must face it
and have a settlement at once—the sooner the
better. Replying to Mr. Buchanan’s opinion,
that the Unittd States Government have no right
to interfere in such cases as the Harper’s Ferry
invasion,be says it is an alarming announcement
to the Slave States, adding that wo must rely on
ourselves and fight for peace. “I say, then, to
your tents—organize and arm.” IJe recommends
that Virginia now demand from'each State of the
Union what position it intends to ‘ Maintain in
respect to slavery, and that she permit no more
temporizing with the Constitution; no more com
promises. He recommends the enrolling of all
citizens between the ages'of eighteen and twenty
five years, who shall always be fully equipped
and armed for service; also the increase of the
permanent public guard, and an appropriation
for the defence of the State; to make the Military
Institute furnish officers and engineers for every
brigade of the militia,and an increase of the mil
itary patrol system of the State,
Meeting in Columbus. —On Tuesday there
Was a meeting of the democracy of Columbus,
over which Dr. Alexander J. Robison presided,
and Albert R. Lamar, Esq., acted as Secretary.
The meeting repudiated the action of the Leg”
islature in calling a Convention to-day, and en
dorsed the call of the State Executive Committee
and made arrangements for a meeting of the De
mocracy of Muscogee county, on the first Tues
day in February, to select delegates to tho Con
vention called forthe Ist of March next. This is
right, and the Representatives of the party in
the Legislature will find that the power yet re
mains with the people.— Savannah Evening Ex
press.
From tho Daily Southern Recorder.
Democratic Convention.
A large number of delegates, consisting main
ly of members of the Legislature, assembled at 3
o’clockP.M. Thursday, in the Representative Hall.
The lion Speaker Irwin, was chosen President,
and F. H. West and Geo. Hillyer, Esqrs., were
appointed Secretaries. Mr. Seward, of Thomas,
offered sundry resolutions which were referred to
a committee of twenty-one, of which Mr. S. was
Chairman, to report business for the action of
the Convention. During the absence of the com
mittee from the Hall, Col. 0. H. Lochrane of
Bibb, was called for, who addressed the Conven
tion. He was fallowed by Mr. Tatum of Dade,
who gave way to the Committee, from whom Mr.
Seward reported the following resolutions:
Resolved, That wo will send delegates to the
National Convention to be held in Charleston.
That we pledge ourselves to the support of the
nominee of that Convention, upon the condition
that it determines to maintain the equality of the
States, the rights of the South—that we will
yield nothing of these rights for the sake of har
mony, but will demand a firm, strict and unquali
fied adhesion to the doctrines and principles on
the subject of slavery and the rights of the
South in the common territories of the Union,
which have been recently declared by the Supremo
Court of the U. S.
Resolved, That as Georgians we are proud of
our distinguished feilow-citizeu the Hon. Howell
Cobb, the present able and efficient Secretary of
the Treasury, and that it is a source of pride and
gratification to us to present his name to the Con
vention as one worthy and well qualified to fill
the high office of President of the U. States.
Resolved, With this expression of our opinion,
our delegates to the National Democratic Nomi
nating Convention shall be untrammeled in their
action except as to the selection of a candidate
representing the principles indicated in the first
resolution.
Resolved, That we recommend that tho Con
vention elect four delegates for tho State at large,
and that each Congressional District present the
names of two persons as delegates to said Con
vention. And should there be a district without
representation, then that this Convention pro
ceed to elect delegates for the unrepresented dis
trict.
The resolutions being read at the Secretary’s
table, were unanimously adopted. The Conven
tion then took a recess until 9 o’clock, P. M., to
meet again iu the Hall, to complete its unfinished
business.
From the Savannah Evening Express.
Charleston Convention.
It will be seen by the telegraphic news from
Washington, that the National Democratic
Committee have fixed upon the 23d day of
April, 1860, as the time for holding the Na
tional Convention for the nomination of Presi
dent of the United States. The time being
now fixed for the assembling of this important
Convention, it behooves the people to arouse
themselves in preparation for the selection,
through the proper channels, of the represen
tatives they desire to send Upon this
point, the South at least should be guarded,
and see well who they send, for the opinions
of men go further now than at any other time.
Their representatives should be carefully se
lected, not only in reference to the opinions of
their constituents, but in consideration of their
reliability in case of attempts being made to
work upon-their patriotism or their fears. To
the South, it will be the most important as
semblage ever held within her limits; for the
great issues that must be settled there, will
determine, not alone who shall be the stand
ard bearer of the Democratic party, but who,
out of all those prominent, will be the safest
one to entrust the destinies and interest of the
South to.
In this regard, no mere protestation of an
adherence to Southern policy and Southern
Institutions will suffice now; nor will any
doubtful principles be permitted in the man
who seeks the nomination there. Past vacil
lations. will be counted as on a par with pres
ent opposition, and he who cannot show a re
cord clear from every doubt or suspicion of
fealty to the Constitution, must have no chance
there. Nor will mere professions answer the
requirements of the exigency—these can be
got up for any purpose. Nothing but a life
long devotion to the true interests of the en
tire conntry, without having swerved from
duty to the South, will answer the require
ments of this day.
The truth is, in the language of the Charles
ton Mercury, the Democratic party •of the
South, is the States Rights party; it can be
nothing else, and at the same time perform its
full duty to this section. This gradual trans
formation has been the result of a departure
from the true principles of the party at the
North, and an assimilation with elements hos
tile to the interests of the South. In this state
of things the duty of the people in the selec
tion of their delegates to the Charleston Con
vention, must be regulated by the conditions
which surrounded the party here and those
conditions demand the selection of a man
whose antecedents are of such a character as
to insure the recognition of her acknowledged
and undisputed rights.
It is important then that a calm and unani
mous movement be made by the party in Geor
gia, so that they may not only, A>e ably, but
truthfully and correctly represented, and by
such persons as come direct from the people.
