DAILY TELEGRAPH. MACON. GEORGIA: WEDNESDAY MORNING, MAYJ, 1800. Cushing a M Trump*’ and not a “Turnip.'’ De it known to you, gentle reader, that the editor of the Telegraph writes an abominable fist, and sometimes, having done his worst in that way, he goes home .and leaves his puzzled proof-reader to make out what he can of the wretched hienoglvphics. Yesterday the editor sp >ke of Caleb Cushing as a “ trump of a Pres ident”—but the proof reader made him a “ tur nip.” The fact is, the word as written, was more turnip than trump —but as for Cushing, he has a good deal more blood than a tur nip; he is a fine, high toned gentleman, and we wish that there were a great many more of the same sort in the old Bay State. “Protection." —We advise Protection to curb his “hot haste” enough to read what he undertakes to attack. He actually mangles and distorts a remonstrance against “hot haste, ex < in m« nt and precipitation” in assailing the se ceding delegates, into a charge against them, of lot haste, Ac., and then founds his column of philippic against us on bis own blunder! Such a ; racticnl illustration of the consequences of ‘i ot haste, excitement end precipitation” is not without value. It shows that even in small matters, it is better not to “go otf at half <k," and how much more when the fate of • n at political parties, of States and of nations is at stake. Let him cool off and be sure that the is an who takes counsel of his passions or ex citement has but a bad adviser. The Old Delegates to go to Baltimore. We had a despatch ia yesterday’s Telegraph • tting forth that an address was in circulation am*-ng the Southern Democratic members of ( gn s urging the old delegates to attend the l’. ii:i:! *i v Convention. Assuming it for grant ed that this movement is for the purpose of har mony—that it is intended to consolidate the Southern Democratic vote upon one nominee, it meets with our hearty approbation. It is mad nes>- to divide the National Democratic party, i; it can be kept together on a Constitutional ‘•a-ls, and we believe it can be. It is equally -ui< idal for the Southern Democracy—the only party which has ever effectively asserted and maintained the rights of this section, to divide and dwindle to miserable minority factions.— W<? have, for one, no desire to press the election of new’ delegates, if the incumbents do not be lie ve themselves fundus officio, and are willing to resume their seats in the National Conven tion, with a purpose to harmonize. Tt will be Letter, however, in our judgment, to hold a State Convention in any event, so as to secure a State representation in Baltimore beyond con tingencies. If then and there it is ascertained that our old delegation are willing to resume ’ their seats, we should deprecate the policy of any opposition to their doing it. The Georgia and the Convention Plat forms on Slavery in the Territories. [From the Constitutionalist.] The follow ing is the platform on slavery in the Territories, laid down by the Georgia Dem ocratic convention in December, 1847, and re adopted by the convention of June, 1848: “R solved, That Congress possesses no pow <r upon the Constitution, to legislate in any way or manner in. ielation to the institution of slavery. It is the Constitutional rightof every citizen to remove and settle with his property in any of the Territories of the United States. “R solved, Tl»t the people of the South do not ask of Congress to establish the institution of slavery in any of the Territories that may be acquired by the United States; they simply re quire that the inhabitants of each Territory shall be left free to determine for themselves whether the institution of slavery shall or shall not form a part ot their social system.” But not only is Georgia committed by her re cord in convention to oppose the interference of federal legislation upon the subject of slavery, whether aja naked Wilmot proviso, or masked in the delusive garb, and crawling in the serp ent shape of protection, but by the solemn ac tion of her convention, held in December last, composed as it was ot her legislators, the State of Georgia stands bound by her plighted faith, her sacred honor, to support the minority plat form as reported from the Charleston commit tee on resolutions, and which will be affirmed in full at Baltimore. The little alteration now ex isting was made by the North under a mista ken idea of the wishes of the South. We copy the first resolution of the Decem ber convention, and ask those who passed it and have endorsed it, if they dare risk the in famv of abandoning their plighted faith? “ Resolved. That we will send delegates to the National Convention, to be held in Charles ton —that we pledge ourselves to support the nominee of that Convention upon the condition that it determines to maintain the equality of the States, and the rights of the Sout*i—t'nat we will yield nothing of those rights for the sake of l.armohy, but.will demand a firm, strict, and unqualified adherence 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 de clared dy the Supreme Court of the United States.” We now give the minority report in full, and ask to be informed wherein it differs from the demand made by our State Convention in De cember, and which would have been reaffirmed in March, but from the refusal to divi le the resolution from that which recommended How ell Uorb. Tell us, ye bolters: MINORITY REPORT. *‘l. Rcsolv- 1, That wo, the Democracy of the Union, in convention assembled, hereby de clare our affirmance of the resolutions unani mously adopted and declared as a platform of principles by the Democratic Convention at Cincinnati, in the year 1850, believing that the Democratic principles are unchangeable in th< ir nature, when applied to the same subject mat ters; and we recommend as the only further resolutions*the following: “Inasmuch as difference of opinion exists in the Democratic party as to the nature and ex tent of the powers of a Territorial Legi. la lure, and as to the powers and duties of Con gress, under the Constitution of the United States, over the institution of slavery within the Territories— “ 2. Resolved, That the Democratic party - will abide by the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States on the question of consti tutional law. ... / “3. Resolved, That it is the duty of the Uni ted States to afford ample and complete protec- tion to nil its citizens, whether at home or a broad, and whether native or foreign. “4. Resolved, That one of the necessities of the age, in a military, commercial, and postal point of view, is speedy communication between the Atlantic and Pacific States; and the demo cratic party pledge such Constitutional Govern ment aid as will insure the construction of a railroad to the Pacific coast. at the earliest prac ticable period. “5. Resolved, That the Democratic party are in favor of the acquisition of the island of Cuba, on such terms asshall be honorable to ourselves and just to Spain. “fl. Resolved, That the enactments of State Legislatures to defeat the faithful execution of the fugitive slave law, are hostile in character, subversive of the Constitution, and revolution ary in their effect.’’ We now also copy the resolutions of the ma jority, which were the reasons given for quit ting the National Convention, and we ask if the second resolution which was put in to kill the chances of Judge Douglas, and which vaguely prates about right to protection, when “neces sary,” as if protection were not now needful, if ever ? Tell us, we say, what Southern right affirmed in this wonderful piece of carpentry, that it took seventeen States three days to con struct, is of enough value to split the party and the Union for it ? majority report. “Resolved, That the platform adopted by th Democratic party at Cincinnati be affirmed, with the following explanatory resolutions : “Ist. That the government of a Territory or ganised by an act of Congress, is provisional and temporary; and, during its existence, ail citizens of the United States have an equal right to settle with .their property in the Territory without their rights, cipher of person or property, being destroyed or impaired by Congressional or Territorial legislation. “2d. That it is the duty of the Federal Gov ernment, in all its departments, to protect, when necessary, the rights of persons and property in the Territories, and wherever else its Constitu tional authority extends. “3d. That when the settlers in a Territory having an adequate population, form a State Constitution,the rightofsovereignty commences, and, being consummated by admission into the Union, they stand on an equal footing with the people of other States ; and the State thus or ganised ought to be admitted into the Federal Union, whether its Constitution prohibits or re cognises the institution of slavery.’’ It will thus be seen upon examination of the two platforms’ that while the real disturbance is about a man, that the only pretended differ ence is predicated upon the question, have the .Territorial Legislatures the right to abolish slavery ? We think not, and as we have always so held, shall not argue the legal question with those who insist upon putting the negative in the platform. But we want it remembered that the denial of this right to the Territorial Legis latures coupled with a general assertion of a right to protection when necessary, is the great question held up by the secessionists, the prin ciple, held to be worth more than the party, or victory over Republicanism, or the preservation of the Union. Without then raising that curtain in the far future, pointed to by the '‘'when necessary" re solution, we ask of our State and the South if it is not perfectly fair to submit the question of Territorial sovereignty to the Supreme Court ? The more especially, as Mr. Yancey tells us that the Court has already decided in our favor? Shall we force the North to declare a sentiment which, no party can tie ermine? Shall we dis rupt all fraternalties with them upon a declara tion in advance of the decision of the Court, when it is not likely that the whole question would not-rio any good, if decided in our favor? Forbid it, ye southern men ! Forbid it, ye Dem ocrats. Assemble then, ye Georgians, in your county meetings? Assemble in Milledgeville, when the Executive committee calls you togeth er, (if they do not call you, assemble any way.) Fill the blanks with conservative patriots. Other States will follow the example, an I upon the platform that the South has endorsed we will be victors yet. From the N. Y. Jour. Commerce. THE CHARLESTON CONVENTION. The Democratic National Convention, after ten days of anxious deliberation, has adjourned till the 18th of June, when it is to resume its labors in the city of Baltimore. The vote stood 195 in favor of such adjournment and 55 against it. This course was rendered necessary, or at least expedient, by the contrariety of opinion which was found to exist among tlie numbers as to the one feature of the Platform, and also as to tb.c;candidate to be put in nomination for the Presidency. These differences developed themselves at an early stage of the proceedings, and indeed were known to exist before the Con vention met. Although one of them relates t> men, and the other to measures, they involve but a single question, viz., the security of slave property in the Territories. Mr. Douglas's amended doctrine of “squatter sovereignty,” which would enable a few thousand people who might happen to settle in a Territory prior to its- organization as such, or be forced into it by Emigrant Aid Societies, to control its destinies for all time as to the matter of slavery—not lit erally, but in effect, because the exclusion of slaves by a Territory just organized, would be eq livalent to an exclusion of their masters, and to would prevent any chance of an increase of population favorable to repeal,—this doctrine, we say, was particularly odious to the South, as in substance denying them a common right ‘.n the common territory, purchased by tl wcom mon blood and treasure. For the same reason they were hostile to the author and principal promoter of the doctrine, and were determined not to support him for the Presidency. When, therefore, a majority of the Convention adopted a platform (reported by the minority of the Platform Committee) which contained no pro vision for the protection of property in the Ter ritories, a considerable portion of the Southern delegates withdrew, declaring they could not be parties to a transaction which they deemed so I unjust to their constituents, and so inconsistent with the equal rights io which they were enti tled in the common domain. The seceding del egates proceeded to organize themselves into a separate Convention, and adopted the Platform reported by the majority of the Platform Com mittee in the Convention proper. Thus the two Conventions *were at loggerheads; and fora i time tlfdre seemed no prospect for a re-union. But the “sober second thought” brought both parties to a sense of the mischief which might result from their dissensions, and they were anxiously wailing for some way of reconcilia tion to be opened, whereby they could return to their first love. At this juncture, a propo sition was submitted to the principal Conven tion b> a delegate from Tennessee, which it was intimated, would be satisfactory to the seceding Convention, as follows : “Resolved, That all the citizens of the United States have aa equal right to settle with their pro perty in the terrib ries of the United States, ai d that under the decisions of the Supreme Court, which we recognize as a correct exposition of the Consti tution, neilhr-r their rights of person or property can be destroyed or impaired by Congressional or Ter ritorial legislation. “Resolved. I'hat two-thirds <f all the r leetorai votes of the United States shall be required for the i uoinii.akiviisU These are what are called the Tennessee res olutions. 'i'hc latter of the two was adopted by the Convention proper, by a handsome majority —which fact gave much satisfaction to the se ceders, as it rendered impossible the nomina tion of Douglas for the Presidency. We donot find, however, that the Convention adopted the former of these resolutions, neither did they re ject it. They probably desired them to consid er the whole subject, and hoped that the sece ders would profit by the same indulgence.— Neither Convention made any uomipatfon for the Presidency, and so there is reason to hope for a harmonious result at the adjoin: d Con vention at Baltimore. In the meantime, the “Union” party and the Republicans will hold their respective Conventions—the firmer at Baltimore on the 9th inst, and the latter at Chi cago on the IGtb. When the Democratic Con vention reassembles, therefore, itwill k’T nv who are-the nominees of the other two part-.es, and whether those parties, with professions antag- i onistical to each other, are to co-operate in the I support of one and the same candidate. On the whole, we anticipate goodratlur than evil, from the adjournment to Baltimore, and see no reason to clespairof the commonwealth. I With a slight modification, which we may spec- ! ify hereafter, the Tennessee resolution would meet our own approbation, and, as we believe, that of the great body of the Democratic party. It is stated, in our report of Convention pro ceedings, that the adjournment to Baltimore was a movement of the Douglas men. We dare ' say that most of them approved of it, and so also 1 did many if not most of the other .fir the number ol votes in favor of the measure was ! 195, whereas the largest vote polled for Doug las was 152|. The Seceding Convention adjourned at a late hour last night. Mr. Bayard resigned the Pres- ! idency of the Convention, and left the hall.— Robert Scott, of Ala., was then chosen Presi dent. The Convention, after agreeing that a Southern Convention should be held in Rich- ■ mond, A a., on the second Monday of June next, and that an address or statement of the grounds ol their conduct should be prepared and pub- | lished, adjourned sine die. [C O .M M U N 1 C A T E D.j Mr. Editor—ln your editorial of this morn ing, [May BthJ you ask, in reference to the ac tion of the Scceders from the late Charleston Convention, “Where is the use of hot haste, ex citement and precipitation in this matter?” In view of all the aggressions ol the North— of the impudence and boldness of the abolition leaders ; of our diminishing power in Congress; of the contest just closed in the House of Repre sentatives; of the position which every Geor- , gian in the House took upon the subject < £ pro- j tection during that struggle; of the table, | united stand taken by our Senators; of the fact that the almost united voice of the South called for protection before the Convention met; and of the imminent dangers that threaten us, this question appears to me to be a strange one, to come from a Southern editor. The action of the Scceders was not taken in hot haste. A major ity of the committee appointed by the Conven- i tion to draft a platform, reported one containing the protection plank. It was deliberately re jected by the Convention, and the minority re port adopted. It was when this principle was refused a place in that platform, that these del egates withdrew. It was a well known fact that this demand would be made, long before the Convention assembled. For months past, it has been regarded as the only condition upon which unity and ffarmony could he secured.— The “Constitutionalist” and yourself seem to regard the principle as a of no consequence whatever; admitting that it is of consequence, yap say that the fact that we obtain its recognition by Con gress, of its present elements, is a foregone cor®ton. Well, sir, grant, lijgt, that it is an objection could Northern eithe® have had to P rescrv:l - by the meeting of the surely that body could a mere abstraction, from which no practical good or evil would result in order to accomplish so desirable an object. But on the other hand, if there is something sul stantial in the idea of protection, and we hold that there is, then the Scceders did their duty in retiring, when the Convention failed to adopt the majority report incorporating it. Further, if what you say be true, th-1 wc cannot obtain the satisfaction of such a demand i made upon those who have the right and power ' to grant it; if the government has reached that point where either fanaticism will not grant its citizens the protection the peaceful enjoyment of their rights and property require; or if through corruption and imbecility it cannot std isfy a demand so reasonable, then with you, I say “let us prepare ourselves for a national as I well as a party disruption.” In the name of . common sense, Sir, if w’e cannot have the recog- i nition of an abstract principle which you say i involves no practical results, v.hat max \«»-,n>pe for when we do present something that is jeiq and practical in its bearings, and demand its recognition. This demand made upon the I Charleston Convention for the recognition of ! the duty of Congress does involve a practical result —it was expressive of the voice of al most the entire South, before the Convention, and it is the solemn duty of the people to up hold the seceding delegates in the course they have taken. This cry of “hot haste” and k ‘ex ci lemon i.” and all that sort of thing, is but the rt>nltofan unsettling of the Union nerve. I vtril > elieve Sir, that if a bill were introduced in Congress to effect immediate and total abolition in the slave States—if the destruction of our rights and property was imminent—if ruin . nd .des- I olation were staring us in the face, and an at tempt were made to resist, there are those a mong us who looking upon the Democratic party or upon the government *w hose power was being used to crush us, would cry cut, “ab straction,” “hot haste,’’ “excitement,” “precipi tation.” PROTECTION. Macon Augusta R. R.—An election was held in this county on Tuesday last, Ist inst., for “Subscription” or “No Su’ scription” to the Stock of the Macon & Augusta Railroad. A very large majority of the votes cast were for “Subscription," only about 40 votes havin ' been polled for “No Subscription?’ [Federal Union. From the Augusta Constitutionalist. ; T© tho Democratic Party of Georgia* The undersigned delegates, appointed by the March Convention to represent the Democracy of Georgia in the Charleston Convention, took their seats in that Convention for the purpose of executing the trust confided to them with their associate delegates appointed by the Con vention of Georgia. By a resolution of that ! convention, the vote of Georgia was to be cast as a unit, upon all questions legitimately to be presented to the convention at Charleston, for its consideration and action ; but not for the . purpose, as the undersigned believed, of defeat ing the main object of that convention, nor to demoralise, or destroy the Democratic organiza tion of the United States. The committee on resolutions appointed by the Charleston con vention, reported three sets of resolutions for the action of the convention. First, the major ity report of the committee. Second, the mi nority report of that committee, presented by Mr. Samuels. Third, another minority report, presented by Mr. Butler, of Massachusetts, ! which alone embraced the Cincinnati platform, coupled with a resolution for the protection of native and foreign born citizens. The vote was first taken on Mr. Butler’s report. A majority of the Georgia delegation voting for it, and so the vote was cast in the convention, the under signed voting against it in the delegation, for the reason that they did not think the rcsolu , tions went far enough for the protection of slave , property in the Territories, and preferring the ’ resolutions of the minority of the committee, rep'•.ted 'y Mr. Sr.muvb-,' ?•> i-.o Cine .t.it.ti platform alone. AV hen the vote was taken on the last named resolutions, a majority of the j Georgia delation voted in tho negative, the un dersigned voting in the affirmative. Amotion was then made to strike out, or disagree to the preamble, and several resolutions contained in the minority report —which is as. follows: 2. Inasmuch as differences of opii io i exist in the Democratic party as to the nature and extent of the powers of a Territorial Legislature, and as to the powersand duties of Congress, under the Constitu tion of the United States, over the in titution of sla very within the Territories, Resolved, That the Democratic party will abide by the decision of the Srtpreme Court of the United States, upon these questions of Constitutional law. Upon the question of adopting, or rejecting this second resolution, the majority cf the Geor gia delegation declined to vole — the undersigned voting in the delegation in favor ofits adoption, and against striking it out. The result of the vote, in the convention, was in favor of strik ing out the secon d'resolution, so that the plat form finally adopted by the convention con tains nothing upon the subject of slavery in the Territories, except what is contained in the Cincinnati platform. The undersigned had no agency in producing that state of things in the convention, for they voted against the adoption ofthe Cincinnati platform standing alone, with out pledging the Democratic party to abide by the decision ofthe Supreme court of the United States, upon the subject of slavery in the Ter ritories, and in favor of pledging the party to stand by the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States, as made in the 'Bred Scott case; and this we supposed to be, in accordance with the wishes of our people, as expressed in the resolutions adopted at the December con vention held at Milledgeville, which was tho only expression of opinion upon that subject for our guidance; the March Convention not hav ing expressed any opinion in regard to a plat form. After the adoption of the platform by the Charleston Convention (the action of the Georgia delegation in relation thereto being as before mentioned in detail), a majority of the delegation adopted a resolution to withdraw from the convention. In the absence of any in structions to that effect, the undersigned did not feel themselves at liberty to bolt the con vention, and thereby disrupt and disintegrate the Democratic parly, or to impair its organiza tion and moral power before the country; but on the contrary, felt bound to remain in the convention, and execute the trust devolved upon them by the convention of Georgia, to the best of their ability, for the welfare and further pros perity of that Democratic organization, which, in our judgment, is so essentially necessary for the welfare and prosperity ofour common coun try—move especially did we desire to aid in the nomination of a southern man for the next President of the United States. Accordingly, we took our seats in the con vention, with the firm resolve so to act, as in nur judgment would best promote the honor, in terests, and harmony ofthe Democratic party, as well as the interests of those who delegated us to act for them, and in their name, to sacrifice no principle, but to maintain right, justice, and truth, as well as our political integrity, and that of the Democratic party of Georgia—not believing it to be within the legitimate power of the majority of the delegation, by their rote, to disfranchise the Democratic party of Georgia from being represented in the Charleston con vention, by the undersigned delegates, in the absence of any such authority, or instructions, given to them by tho Georgia convention for that purpose. The convention, however, by a vote of that body, determined that in as much as the delegates, from Georg a, were required ' to vote as a unit, and a majority of the delegates I having, by their vote, withdrawn from the con vention, and having made that fact known to that body, the minority could not cast the ten votes of Georgia in the convention upon any ! question before it. We have only to add, that , if the Democratic party of Georgia is not repre sented in the Charleston convention, it is not the fault of the under signed ; we have done all I that we could do, honorably, to perform the i duty, and execute the trust devolved upon us 1 by the March convention. We, d. refore, v ith out further comment, report our action in the Charleston convention to those who conferred the trust upon us to represent them in that as i semldy.

Mr. Solomon Cohen, who acted with the | minority of the delegation throughout, would, no doubt, have signed the above if there had j been an opportunity to have presented it to him. Perhaps others would. It is due to the majority to state, that several ! of them were opposed to withdrawing from the convention, and that part of them were influ eneed by the other withdrawing States, andoth • ers by the idea that the majority of their own delegation had a right to govern its action. lhe New York authorities have appropriated $30,000, and engaged the first floor of the Me tropolitan Hotel, for the Japanese embassy, which they will occupy on their arrival at New Toru.

Baltimore Correspondence. Special Correspondence of .the Macon Dail* Telegraph. Baltimore, May 4th, iB6O. Tempering Justice with Mercy. Two youths of good parentage were up be fore the Court yesterday, under indictment for forgery. They had been made the tools of old er villians, and the lion. Pinckny AVyteappear ed in their behalf, acknowledged their partici pation in the act, and prayed the Court to stay proceedings against them, under the pledge of Mr. AV. that they should be shipped for 3 years in the United States Navy, and should their be havior, during that time, be such as to com mand a certificate of good character, the charge should be dismissed ; on the contrary, should there be no marked improvement the case should be tried and the proper punishment awarded. The address of Mr. AVyte, who is a real philan thropist as well ns an able lawyer, was one of the most touching, and the young Judge as well as all present, including the boys them selves were deeply affected thereby. The Court cheerfully acceded to the wishes of Mr. AA r yte, which wore backed by a written petition from the Grand Jury and the Miss McKun, upon whom the forgery was committed, and spoke in the most kind and feeling manner to the youths, who seemed truly repentant and prom? ised with groat earnestness to refrain from evil company and evil practice in future.
