J (lENTi.BMKN: Your letter of 'thujHb Inst, was
July received, and would have been before ro-
llied to, but for tlie fact that I have signed an
tldi-ess containing my opinion* somewhat at
large upon the questions which yon have sub-
lilttcd to mo, and which address I expected
Ivould lmvo boon published before this limn;
Kitul liavlng bc(*n delayed, In meantime 1
IhougUt it beat to give you a brief reply.
\ 1 have looked with Interest, but without up-
Jrehenaion, upon tho proecediug* ot the late
Konvcntiou at C .nrlestou. 1 sue in tliosq pro-
feedings unmistakable evidence of the steady
Llvanee of sound constitutional principles.—
Kerhapa the Mine may not have come for tlic nt-
hinmnnt of the full measure, of our constitution-
Jl rights ; U may not have been prudent on the
■art. of the representatives of seventeen States
lo have sanctioned and presented us much truth
In the slavery .issue as is contained in what is
lommonly called the Majority platform, hut
fvhcit it was thus sanctioned, approved artil -pre-
le.nted' to the Convention, it was well to stand
liy and defend It, eSnoeinlly against the platform
JnV the minority. -The seceding delegate* did
{this with manly nrmness, and I approve their
action. From tlio best Information 1 have been
fable to obtain, I beliovo the majority platform
was not only acceptable, to a majority Of the
delegates, if their vdtcjJ could have been taken
mv capita. If this he so, it ought not to have
been defeated either by, accident, want of fore
sight or contrivance.
It Is usserted tluit tho democratic party hither
to have affirmed tlic principle of non-interven
tion by Congress with slavery, x lioth In the States
and Territories; hut none, pretend that It has ev
er assorted tho right of Intervention rw/afM.sf *ta-
rery by the settlers upon t he public domain eith
er before or after a Territorial government lias
been granted to them by Congress. But this Is
in truth the real doctrine hold by the minority.
They desire to interpolate the party erecd with
it—to make it its riilc of action. Wa cannot
hide this great fact by simply shutting our own
eyes. Tlic friends of this political opinion have
defended It with ability and/cal, have tenderfid
us the issuaand demanded its acceptance; it can
no louger bo avoided either with safety or honor.
I accept it, and will give U the same determined
opposition with widen T have ever met It, when
ever and wherever presented,
Aftev the* seceding delegates left the conven
tion, it is understood a proposition was made by
the delegates from New York to the delegates
from sonic of the Southern States, who did noi
senede, which might'lead to a satlslhctory ad
justment of these differences. Under thlupow
state of facts occurring alter the secession, aud
perhaps in consequence thereof, in my opinion,
the seceding delegates ought to meet with the
convention at Baltimore, and endeavor to obtain
such an adjustment. This Is Rite to thonltcrcd
stato of fhets—to tho magnitude of the conse
quences involved In the struggle-—due to their
confederates who agreed with them in prineiplo,
hut wild did not Beccdo. If they should then
fail, they at least may expect to secure the co
operation of the delegates of otlior democratic
States in puph further measures as they may
deem necessary for tho maintenance of, tlic Just
and constitutional rights of. their constituents,
receipts have regularly Increased since September liiHt
inclusive, up to the month of March, when they more
than doubled the receipts of the former month. But
for tho Providential eatiKos which delayed the comple-
t ion of Hie Atlantic and Gulf Railroad, to a point Im-
yoml the Allapniin river, in season lo rucoivo a largo
amount of freight which followed its customary chan
nels of transportation during tho fall and winter,
there is great reason to beliovo Hint tlic gross revenue
would biivo much exceeded tho stated sum. Of the
amount of Cotton, which it may bo calculated, with
great probability, dill eventually pus* over the Savan
nah, Albany and Gulf Railroad, only 7,481 hales have
boon transported. This 1* snflleleut evidence that the
Atlantic nml Gulf Railroad ha* not penetrated far
enough Into Hie Cotton Bolt of Southern Georgia 4o
givo it control or the production there. It* reaching,
however, the Kantcrii Hunk of the Allapulm in Febru
ary last, enabled till* Company to transport the Mer
chandise nml other spring supplies of all the region'
lying west of Hint river, a* far V est, ns ThoniftHYilli*,
and as far south as Madison C. If., Florida—tho for
mer 82 miles, the latter .‘15 miles from the present tur-
iniuu*.
It may lie safely assumed Hint tho present year will
afford decisive evidence id* the prospects of tlit^Road
dependant upon the progress or tlio AtlnnHeaiid Gulf
Railroad, (iAided by the time assigned for the com
pletion of Hie track laying oil Hint, road, our trains
should reach Quitman, the county site of Brooks, 172
miles from Savannah, nlxnit the first of September
next. This point lie* within 28 miles of ThomnfvUlo^
which may he properly fregnrded a* the centre of tho
productive region through which Hie lino pastes. This
jailnt will he reached about Hie middle of January
next, nml will pluco the whole eouptrv Immediately
tributary to the Road at coiivcnleiitdlstances tolls*
stations.
Wo trust that tlilB city will then begin to realize
u\oro fully t he iMJiiotll* or t his great enterprise, and to
reap the reward* of the liberal efforts she hasmndeto
promote its ertectuatloii. We are gratified to know
that the mercantile interests of HaVaimnhalrimilyack
nowledge a decided Impulse from the new eoiuiiiere
and trade lately brought to their doors.
Indications of a desire on tho part of a large por
tion or the people id’ Florida to form coiineethms be
tween the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad aud the rail
way system of that State, induced an application to
t lio late General Assembly for an amendment to the
Charter ot* this Company, by which It Is authorised
“to construct ft roiUl or roads from any point or points
on their line, or the Rue of the Atlantic and Gulf
Company to any such place or places on tho boundary
line between Georgia aiuj Florida, a* the said Com
pany may select. 11 This-authority ha* not been too
soon accorded. The rapid approach of tlio Atlantic
& Gulf Railroad to within a tow miles id* tlio' former
boundary of Hie two States, and within the distance
of an easy connection with the Pensacola and Geor
gia Railroad, seem* recently to have awakened public
attention to the eminent importance of teome associa
tion of these lines.
To tills end active measures have already been
adopted by citizens ol* Lower Georgia Aud Florida for
a connection between Valdosta, in the county of
■ Lowmips, ami Mudlsoh, In Florida. It Js understood
Hint similar steps are being taken for connections at
other point*. A conference with tills Board in rela
tion to tho former project lias lately lieen requested
by tho Committee appointed by a meeting at Rocky
Ford, of citizens of Georgia and Florida, interested
In tills enterprise.
In response, it Is believed, to the wishes of her peo
ple, the lute Legislature of Florida, rescinded so much
or her lutcrunl Improvement Act as forbndo the con
struction or any branch to tho Northern boundary lino
of that Htate “to a point west of tho Allapaha river
withojit the consent of all the Companies owning the
several portions of the main Run, and without tlio ap
proval of the Trustees of Hie Internal Improvement
Fund,- 1 11 Is to he regretted that this prudent revoca
tion has not proved acceptable to all interests in the
Htate, and that it is threatened witli vigorous resist
ance from the itnilway Companies of East Florida
ho found Hcceteafy l
as well as hcforo.tho Baltimore Convention, and,
I think, with clearer lights for its guldoneo. It
tills policy shall meet with any considerable op
position in Georgia, I would suggest that.n con
vention of tho party bo called by tho proper au
thority, that they may take immediate action on
tho subject. For myself, no party or other ne
cessity can over induce mo to give ray assent
to any declaration of iirlnclplea which nlfirrns
or admits, directly or by necessary implication,
that there is any rlghtlbl power, anywhere, to
exclude slave property from any portion of tho
public domain, (open for settlement to others,)
except within the limits of a sovereign State:
and by her authority. • This plain principle or

^ The Late Charleston Convention.
Our renders have nlready learned that the
Charleston Convention, unable, In consequence
of tlio mdlcnlsdlfrerenco of opinion among its
members with regard to ft plnttorm and a candi
date, fo perfect the mission for which it war
constituted,, has ni\journcd to meet at BaU^mon
on the 18Mi day of June next,
The adjournment of that body, under such
circumstances, Is an event of the utmost signifi
cance ami Important. Iu our Judgmont, it Is a
virtual proclamation ol tho dissolution of the
Democratic pnrty of the Union, as organized
during the last thirty years. For we cannot
comprehend how the evils which cropped out
and displayed thcihselves nt Charleston can lie
reconciled at Baltimore. The disruption of the
Convention at Charleston grew out of tlio con*
dieting views of the delegates from tho two great
sections of the Union, first upon a platform, nml
then upon the candidate. The intriguing and
office-socking politicians und demagogues of the
North wont to Charleston with tho fixed xmrpose
of denying to the South the equality of right
whicli they claim under the Constitution, and
of imposing D.ouglos, the author of tlio heresy
which has prodneed the division of Uie_. pnrty,
and tlio lender of tlie organized hand of eornffil
spoils-seekers who have gotten possession of the
Northern Democratic organization—upon tho
party as Us candidate for the Presidency. They
were met by the men of the South with a deter
mination and firmness equally resolute to Insist,
on their just rights in the Union, and to defeat
tho author of tho mischievous errors which have
brought such t rouble and disaster upon the
Democratic party. Hence the disruption of the
Convention, and, wo believe, of tho present na
tional organizat ion of the Democratic party.
A Convention will undoubtedly assemble at
Baltimore, agreeably to the adjournment at.
Charleston. But., will It represent tlio National
Donioeraey of the Union 'i We believe not. It
will iie composed of the crenturos of Douglas,
who will present hi* name as a cnndidnt e for the
Presidency. The seceding portion of the Con
vention have adjourned lo meet again at Rich
mond, Va. That Convention will also nominate
a candidate for the Presidency, anil' place him
upon the platform reported liy a majority of the
Convention on 'Resolutions at Charleston, and
voted down by the tools aud adherents of Doug
las. That platform is national, and iyo will adu,
just In itHpmpositlonsnnd principles/-andshould
he adopted by tlie Democratic People of Mic
Union.
Thus we shall have Dougins and his Squatter
Sovereignty platform adopted and proclaimed at
Baltimore; and some true national innn, and the
true national plat form adopted and proclaimed at
Richmond. This latter, nomination aud plat
form will be the basis of the formation ol the
organization of the true and legitimate National
Democratic party throughout tlie Union. Such
a division, with such candidates, und the plat
forms whicli they represent, will pervade the
Democracy of every free State. And the proba
ble result of the conflict will lie, that Doiiglas
will not carry a singlo Statu In the Union. This
division of the Democracy, will cause his defeat
in.every free State, and he will be sure to lose
all Slave labor States.
Such, to our njlud, seem to he tho probable
consequences of the disruption of. the Charles
ton Convention. The disaster may be repaired
by patriotic counsels and mutual concessions.—
If the friend* of Douglas will have the magna
nimity to withdraw him from the field, and con
sent to the nomination of some man of well
known national and patriotic principles, the
Convention at Richmond would probably adopt
him, and thus the Democracy of tlic Union
would again lie reconciled and united.
We fear, however, that the disaster is without
remedy, and tluit tlic breaking off and secession
of the Douglas Democmcj is a fixed and permit
hont fact, and without remedy. In that event,
the National Democrats, of the free States have
no other recourse blit to re-organize the party
upon the basis of the national platform which
will ho adopted at. Richmond, and to run ticket?
In every State. In many States the organizations
may bo small at the. outset. But however few in
numbers tlie National Democrat^ may lie, they
should organize and present their tickets for
electors.
They will thus lay the foundation of a now
and renovated superstructure of National De
mocracy-which will grow in size and strength
until it again becomes a victorious minority.—
Such is the course of policy we ivould recom
mend. We frankly say that our destiny Is with
the South and the National Democracy.
• The Southern Platform in New Hampshire.
The Concord (New Hampshire) Democmtic
Standard publishes the inajorlty platforin reject
ed by the Charleston Convention, and romftrks—
The first and second propositions embrace tlic
material matters which produced tho disruption
of tho Convention. We desire onr readers to
note particularly tliolr language, mid then to ask
themselves If they tiro not just ? Can any hon
est mau among them put his hand upon his
heart and say that the Territorial* governments
should not be prohibited from destroying tho
rights of property, of whatever kind thoy may
be, within their limits; and that if thoy should
attempt It the Government of United States
should uofc prevent and restrain them V We can-
not.sec how he can do it.
No, there could not ho more manifest justice
and reason in tlio .provisions of tho two first
propositions of tho Majority Platform, Yet onr
