THE MEETING AT CUNCERT HALL
Last night, for the purpose of considering
the p« ' prie’y of fusing, was. on motion of Col.
Hass. <-r-anized by requesting the respective
t. hainm u of the Executive Committees of the
three d:!h r< nt parties to take the Chair, and
Charles Rogers as Secretary.
‘•cn. J. W. Armstrong and O. G. Sparks,
Es'l . i ime forward and took their seats.
The Chairman of the Breckinridge Commit
tee not 1.,-ing present A. G. Bostick. Esq., was
requested toaid in the deliberations ofthe meet
ing a- a representative of the Breckinridge
party.
H.-i. Thomas Hardeman, Jr., rose and offer
ed a set of resolutions, proposing to leave the
mate r of fusion with the defferent Executive
Committees of the respective parties, with a re
quest that they attend the meeting at Atlanta,
on M inday the 2«.»th inst. Mr. H. supported
th- rt -options in a short speech.

Fi st<>N IN Pknn-sy I.v vnia. The Douglas State
Central Committee, at a meeting in Philadel
phia on Thursday night last, withdrew their
straight out ticket.-, and pledget! themselves to

endorsed Douglas and Johnson and the nomi
nees of the party. An attempt was made to
era-e the names of the Breckinridge electors
from the tickets, but it was unsuccessful.
Tho best way to Act, if Action bee omes
Necessary.
Whatever mode of resistance to Black Re
publican domination the South may decide up
on, it is of the greatest importance that we all
be united and agreed upon that mode. It is
not perhaps to be expected that complete unity
can be obtained in favor of any particular plan.
But the best way, and in our opinion the only
way to give general satisfaction, and command
a united effort, if resistance is determined up
! on, is, to call a Convention of the people.—
Whatever the State through a general Conven
tion may decide upon, will be binding upon all
our citizens. Every citizen of a State, owes
paramount allegiance to the State. Our alle
giance to the Federal Government is condition
al, and pepends upon the fact of our State ad
hering to the Federal coinpact or not. If
through the agency of a State Convention, call
ed for that purpose, our State withdraws from
the Confederacy, we no longer owe allegiance
to the Federal Government. We deprecate and
should deplore any premature action by indi
viduals or mobs.
W * >n we act, if act we must, *et us act like
a brave and uniter! people, who know their
rights and dare maintain them. Any decisive
action on this momentous question by the Leg
islature, in our opinion, would not be wise or
satisfactory. The present members of the Leg
islature were not elected by the people for any
such purposes, and the most they could do
consistently, would be to provide for calling a
Convention. A Convention will concentrate
public opinion, and give force and efficacy to
> that opinion. We yet hope there will be no
necessity for any action. We hope that by
some means, the election of Lincoln may be
prevented. We hope that God in his infinite
mercy may interpose and save our country*
and the world from such a dire calamity.—
But if come it must, it become the people of
the South to meet it like men. Let us act
coolly, wisely, and if possible, harmoniously,
and in order to obtain such action, we believe
it will be necessary first to have a Convention
of each State, and then of all the Southern
Slates.
We copy the foregoing from the Federal Un
ion of yesterday and add our entire approval of
its suggestions. Not only were “the present
members of the Legislature elected for no such
purpose," as the consideration and adoption of
extra constitutional and unconstitutional retne'
dies against sectional agression, but no members
of any State Legislature of Georgia, can, in the
nature of things, he elected and qualified forany
such purpose. We must have svpreine authori
ty for such movements—an authority of which
the Constitution itself is but the creature—an
authority which can hind the fidelity and alle
giance of every citizen of Georgia to the support
of its decisions, whatever they may be. Such a
convention should be called by Act ofthe Leg
islature, fixing the time so as to allow a full and
fair discussion and determination of the ques
tion which will be brought before it by the peo
ple, and the convention can then authoritatively
settle and determine upon the course of the
State with satisfactory assurance that their ac
tion will be sustained by the people.
Georgia owes it to herself to move in this
matter with resolution, dignity and indepen
dence. ’There is time enough for deliberation
and counsel, and if any of those outbreaks of
popular violence should occur, which the Fed
eral Union thinks possible, we have only to
say that they will defeat their own end. They
will certainly diminish that spirit of resistance
among the sober masses of the people, which is
founded on judgment and reason, and must be
relied on for the defence of the State and the
South. Any revolutionary and lawless violence
will but disgust thinking and patriotic people.
■ ntH ■«.
If l,i HO oln should be elected President
his message would never be disposed of. Its
tone would be of so anti Southern and malig
nant character, that Southern Representatives
and Senators would be compelled either to
withdraw from the halls of Congress, or to re
sort to open hostility iu defence of their rights.
If they should be under the necessity of re
sorting to such measures there is not one of
their constituents that would raise a voice in
opposition to it. What is the difference, then,
between the withdrawal of Representatives or
their refusal to go to the federal capital in a
reprentative capacity? It does really seem to
us that secession is both a natural and an in
herent right.— Atlanta Loconwtire.
If we were abetting man, we should dispos
ed to venture a small stake on that. If Lincoln
ever gets to a message, people will be disap
pointed who look for anything malignant in it.
It will be oily and insidious.

SALE OF GOVERNMENT SECURITIES.
1 lie propositions for the ten million govern
ment loan were opened in Washington last
Monday with the following result. It will be
seen that Federal securities are still at a pre
mium :
With the exception of .Messrs. Riggs & Co.,
of Washington, there were no bidders South of
Philadelphia. The whole aggregate bid was
for less than eleven million dollars. The pre
miums ranged from five to ninety-nine hun
dredths of one per centum. The largest amount
bid for was by Messrs. Riggs A Co., who bid
for two and four fifths of a million.
SENATOR
In the Columbus Ttmes of Monday, in an
swer to an allegation of the Star, charging him
with saying that any Southern man who ac
cepts office under Lincoln should be mobbed,
denies the expression of any such opinion, and
says:
“I do not hesitate to say that in myopinion,
any Southern man who would accept office
from a Republican President, elected upon the
platform of the Republican party of avowed
hostility to Southern slavery, would be no bet- j
ter than a Black Republican, and ought to be i
condemned and ostracised by universal public
sentemeut, and whilst! hold a seat in the Sen- |
ate of the 1 . S. I will vote against the confir
mation of every Southern man, who will be rot
ten enough and base enough to accept office
from Lincoln. If this declaration will aid the
cause of Douglas or Bell here or elsewhere,
their friends are welcome to make the most
of it."

WEDNESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 24, 1860.
i I FUSION IN GEORGIA.
Col. Gardner publishes a card in the Consti
tutionalist of yesterday, in which he suggests
that the members of the three Executive Com
-1 mittees in Georgia, meet at Atlanta, next Mon
day, to agree upon one electoral ticket, and that
the electors on the several tickets meet the
I Committees also at that place. He adds :
The conviction is rapidly spreading and deep
ening throughout the State that the people of
Georgia should stand, at the approaching Prcs-
■ idential election, united as a band of brothers,
1 and have but one electoral ticket in the field to
be voted tor on that day. The elections in
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana, so clearly in
dicating the probabilities of a Black Republican
f being elevated to the Presidential chair, have
gone far to stifle the voice of faction and the
i wrangles of party. The solemn convictions of
' danger to the Union, and of dangers threatened
I which would be infinitely worse than disunion,
are drawing Georgians of ail parties together in
a spirit of fraternity. paramount pre
i vails with alWfftmdefettt of Lincoln. Thecon
‘ viction is unixTTsal that Georgia should so cast
> her vote as win.Joest tend to that result. The
conviction is not less universal that the people
’ of Georgia should have no divided counsels as
to the policy’ cl the State in the event of Lin
r coin’s election. The instinct of self-preserva-
> tion dictates that the people of Georgia—aye,
i the people of the South--should be one people,
' in feeling, in purpose, and in action, should
i that disastrous result be forced upon us by
• Northern fanaticism.
The members of the Executive CommitteeK of
‘ the three parties in Georgia, and the electors of
■ the three tickets now before the people, consti
tute a body of enlightened, tried and trusted
men. In their united counsels the people of Geor-
? gia would repose confidence. By their united ac
- tion they would be willing to be guided in this
crisis. Why can they not unite —unite as
friends and fellow-citizens involved in a com
mon danger, resolved to avert it if possible—re
solved, if they cannot avert it, they will meet it,
when it comes, with locked shields, shoulder to
shoulder, as a band of brothers ?
’ The suggested meeting cannot, in all human
probability, change the result of the Presiden
tial election. It may fail to harmonize couflict
. ing sentiments in Georgia. It may fail to place
the State in a better position for the coming
storm. But I make the suggestion in deference
to those patriotic citizens who have appealed to
me to move in the matter.
The Constitutionalist commenting upon Uol.
Gardner’s card,[says:
“We have before stated our conviction that a
union of parties in Georgia could do no good—
first, because too late; second, because we need
thirty-tiro northern electoral votes, which all
the South combined can’t make.
The communication of the proprietor of this
paper, proposes a joint electoral ticket, for the
promotion of fraternal feeling among all parties
in Georgia; and to any movement which has
for its object the union of all southern men, we
give our cordial assent. We want Breckin
ridge men and Bell men, not for present, but
future power. This is with us no party trick,
for we propose to ignore all party but the South.
And we want the election to close friendly, so
that the great southern convention, and the next
Legislature, will see all Georgians muted on the
platform which has for its only plank, love of
THE SOI’TH.
We repudiate fujum forany other ultimata
object than the union of the South for coming
events.”
It is too late to perfect a fusion movement in
Georgia. But to the object here avowed we say
amen with all our heart. If a crisis is not now
upon us calling trumpet-tongued upon the pa
triotic people of this commonwealth, to stand
shoulder to shoulder in whatever course of
remedial action the wisdom ofthe State may de
vise, nonesu.-h will ever occur.
SIR THOMAS MORE.
None of the murders committed at the dicta
tion of Henry cast such a stain upon his name
as the sacrifice of this the greatest lawyer, the
brightest scholar, and the most polished wit of
his time. There was a perfect agreement be
tween the tyrant and his chancellor as long as
the Reformers were to be repressed. Henry’s
quarrel with Rome was not about the extent of
the papal power, but about who was to wield
it. “Let her cities be burnt,” he said—“let
those who deny the efficacy of absolution, and
the power of Saints be tortured as much as
you like. Let all who dissent from the Church
be punished with the utmost rigor; only, let
everybody confess that of that Church I am
supreme and only governor.” In all his other
sentiments and beliefs, Sir Thomas More most
fervently joined; but, on the last claim of the
k ing, the partnership was dissolved. The Pope
had been so long acknowledged the chief of the
Church; the laws which Sir Thomas had stud
ied had so firmly established this principle,
that he was now too old to give up an opinion
he had been brought up in ; and, accordingly,
as he had persecuted heretics for differences as
unimportant as this, he at once made up his
mind to undergo the same fate he had inflicted
on them. The royal supremacy here claimed
by Henry was not any power that interfered
with the doctrines of the Church, but meant
that the clergy should be subjects of the king
and not of the Pope. On this point, Sir Thom
as More was firm. He was tried, not for here
sy, as his victims had been for denying the
transubstantiation of bread into the flesli, but
for treason in denying an authority which Par
liament had expressly acknowledged as inher
ent in the. king. He was convicted of resist
ance to an act of parliament, and early on the
morning of the 6th of July, 1535, it was an
nounced to him that he was to die before nine
o’clock. His good humor and liveliness never
left him. Indeed, there is something not alto
gether satisfactory in the frivolous mirth with
which his last scene was accompanied.
We should have been better pleased if the
closing hour had brought more melancholy
thoughts. On the contrary, he seemed to grow
funnier, the nearer the axe approached. When
he was conveyed to the Tower, the turnkey,
who had the strange privilege of pillaging his
I prisoner, asked him for his uppermost garment
as a perquisite of his office. Sir liomas mer
rily presented him with his cap, and told him
that was his uppermost garment, and be hearti
jly wished it was of more worth. As he was
being led out of the Tower to his execution, a
woman reproached him for detaining some deeds
when he was in office. “Good woman,” said
he, “have patience a little,” for the king is so
generous unto me, that within this half-hour, he
will discharge me of all my business, and help
thee himself.” As he ascended the scatfold, he
asked one of the officers to help him up, ad
ding, “and when I come down again, let me
shift for myself.” And this scoffing manner ac
enmpaired him to the moment of his death.
After he had prayed, and had laid his head upon
the block, the executioner begged his forgive
ness. “I forgive thee,” said he, “but prithee,
let me put my beard aside, for that hath never
committed treason"—adding, “Pluck up thy
spirit man, and be not afraid to do thine office ■
my neck is very short, take heed, therefore, that
thou strike not wrong for the saving of thine
honesty." The wit of these speeches scarcely
seem bright enough to carry off the gloominess
of the period he chose for their utterance; but
thev show, perhaps, that his conscience was at
rest, aad that he was satisfied with the cause
for which he died. -Blaekncooil. n u,e caUbe
A Cool Operation.— Hullo, there, capting,’
; said a brother Jonathan to a captain of a canal
! packet on the Erie Canal, ‘what do you charge
| for passage ?’
‘Three cents per mile, and boarded,’ said the
. I captain.
. ‘Wai, I guess I’ll take passage, capting,
i seeing as how I’m kinder gin eout walking so
j far.’
Accordingly he got on board as the steward
was ringing the bell for dinner. Jonathan sat
” down and began demolishing the ‘fixins’ to the
! utter consternation of the captain, until he had
j cleared the table of all that was eatable, when
> he got up and went on deck, picking his teeth
very comfortably.
‘How far is it capting, from here to where I
got on board ?’
‘Nearly one and a half miles,’ said the cap
tain.
‘Let’s see,’ said Jonathan, ‘that would be
just four and a half cents ; but never mind,
capting, I won't be small; here’s five cents,
which pays my fare to here ; I guess I’ll go
• ashore now; i'nkindei rested emit.’
Frepaout’s Mariposa mines are now
yielding very large returns, and these are con
stantly increasing. Mark Brumagin & Co.,
i bankers in san Francisco, received last week
the sun! of $11,833 in gold bars, being the pro
duct of six day’s run of the mills. Great im
provements Oe going forward upon this estate.
A new mill will soon be erected at the Prince
ton mine, and another near the city of Maripo
sa. At Bear Valley, Mr. T. W. Park, who is
now conducting the business upon Colonel
’ Fremont’s ranche, has nearly finished exten
sive stables, and a warehouse and store. The
“Josephine,” “Pine Tree,” “Mount Ophir,”
“ Princeton,” and in fact all the principal leads
ot the Mariposa grant, are proving richer the
farther they are worked.
Upwards of $35,000, it is reported, was taken
out of L[ie Mount Ophir claims, in Tuolumne
county, one day last week.

New Arrangement.
TXTITH the facilities and long experience we possess
n in the Musical Business, we did not only si iect
the BEST
PIANOS,
as regards tone and durability, but have also effected
the most advantageous terms to our customers for the
supply of superior Instruments. We partly selected our
Pianos and partly had them made to order. We are now
receiving, without doubt, the best selection ever before
brought to Macon, consisting of
6 1-2, 7, and 7 1-4 Octaves
in plain an higdhly finished cases to suit every taste.—
These Instruments we are prepared to sell either for
Cash, on time, or month ly installments,
at the lowest Factory prices. The latter arrangement,
we think, will be accepted by many persons in want of
first class Instruments, who are perhaps not willing to
pay the entire amount at once, and to whom it will be
easier to pay in monthly installments. Our object is to
assist such persops in procuring a first class Piano, for
whose superiority we willgive alive year’s guarantee—
We intend to effect large sales, and are satisfied with
small profits.
fcs7“*Come and see our Stock to be convinced that we
ought and really have such instruments as we repre
sent them to be.
