Jenkins,—Sao. Republican.
Vi gee It stated that Qot. Oobb la to be returned to
the United Oates Senate, In the plaee of Mr. Dawson,
lathe event the Southern Bights part; have a ma
jority in the ensuing Legislature.” Where the state
ment is found, we sre not informed—how Mr. Cobb’s
election as Mr. Dawson’s successor would put the
former "in the place of” the latter, we don’t com
prehend—and how there can be " a majority in the
ensuing Legislature,” of a party whioh has no exist
ence, is not explained.
** It is believed by some persons,” (the Republican's
editors, we suppose,) “ that a partition of honors was
agreed to by the Convention which nominated Mr.
Johnson.” As we were not in the Convention, we
can’t say as to any agreement for “ a partition of
honors,” and, like the Republican, “ we do not pre
tend to knew anything about it ourselves.” “ All we
know, or believe we know, is,” that Judge Johnson
would have been nominated whether Gov. Cobb de
sired or not " to be returned to tho United States
Senate, in the place of Mr. Dawson.” And further,
as we both believe and know Gov. Cobb and Judge
Johnson to be Democrats, without looking for any
other reason, we are willing to say, " hence Gov.
Cobb’s support of Mr. Johnson, and Mr. Johnson’s
support of Gov. Cobb."
Ab we have no expectation that & u Southern Rights
Legislature ” will meet in Millcdgevillo this winter,
wo think that “ Gov. Cobb stands about as much
chance as tee (of the Republican) of boinar made Sen
ator of a Southern JK*hs* legislature." What a
Dmiocuaw tiBaiSLATORB will do in the premises,
«me, if not the speculations of the Republican, must
determine.
From “a 8outbem Rights Legislature,” and 11 tho
Southern Rights party,” the Republican descends to
“ that wing of tho party ” and " that branch of tho
party,” without having explained how “ the South
ern Rights party ” has a “ wing ” or a " branch,”
or to which wing or branch of this “ Southern Rights
party” Gov. Cobb belongs. That the Democratic
party (if by "the party” is meant the Democratic
party,) has wings or branches—except In so far as
when in action and marshalling its hosts, like a great
army, It has its centre and right and left wings—wo
are not advised—the Republican may explain, as it is
not without experience in the manceuvring of its own
ranks. Bat as that paper seems to bo oblivions on
this point, its memory may bo refreshed by a short
reference to its own " ranks," but especially its
“files.” We beg leave to Bnggest that tho latter
would show its allusion to “ Scott Whigs " to be ill-
timed and unfortunate. “ We do not pretend to know”
mneb, if “ anything, about it ourselves,” but “ wo do
know, or believe we know,” that a reference to those
very files against which the serpentine Republican is
biting so hard now, would show that in the memora
ble contest of that memorable year 1852, the memora-
bio leader of those same “ Scorr Whigs ”—we mean
old Chapultcpeo himself—came in for a pretty good
share of the rasping as well os filing, of this same
Republican, tnr hU real or supposed intluiaoy with
one William H. Seward 1 And farther, we “ know,
or believe we know,” that in or on these same files,
towards the close of tho memorable contest to which
vre have referred, in close proximity, were found tho
electoral tickets of these Bamo “ Scorr Whigs ” and
the identical “Mr. Jenkins” who did not support
the hero of Chippewa, bnt on the contrary, was tho
“ Tertium Quid ” candidate for Vice-President on the
Webster ticket. Bo it remembered, however, that
wo have not said that tho “Conservatives,” the “Union
Conservatives,” or the “ Republican Citizens ” have
any “ wings” or “ branches” to their party.
Oh! no we neTer mention it
and, would we could add,
** It« name Is never heard !»*
The Republican's allusion to “ Mr. Dawson,” In
connection with the “ hearty support of Mr. Jen
kins,” is very unfortunate. Mr. Dawson, “ we know,
or believe we know,” was in tho Baltimore Conven
tion that nominated Gen. Scorr—(we believe ho did
not pledge tho vote of Georgia for him)—Mr. Jenkins
was in Georgia, and afterwards ran on his own hook,
and we “ know, or bellevo wo know,” that daring
that same campaign of 1852, the nearest these gen
tlemen were to being together was, that both their
tickets were published, towards the heel of the race,
(the quarter or back stretch, we don’t know which,)
in tho same files of the Republican. What a com
mentary on the union and harmony of the re-united
Scorr and anti-Scorr “ Republican Citizens!’’
Seriously and finally: does the Republican believe
that the election of Mr. Jknxiks would tend, in the
least, towards the re-election of Mr. Dawson ? If it
does, wo don’t “ know," bnt we believe it is doomed
to grievous disappointment, “ Tho Scott men who
are friends of Mr. Dawson ” may do him some good-
bat, oar belief for it, Mr. Jenkins’ influence, if exert
ed at all, would operate in another quarter ; and
without knowing, or pretending to know, as much
about the “ Republican CUizena ” as tho Republican
knows about the wings or branches of the so-called
“ Southern Righto party," wo bavo too high an opin
ion of the sagacity of Senator Dawson to suppose
him ignorant of the same thing. After all, we think
it likely that the knowledge of the Republican, upon
tho subjects which are embraced in the extract from
its columns, at the bead of this article, is abont as
dear as its belief that Mr. Jenkinb is the author of
“ the Georgia platform.” On this last point, wo refer
it to the article, In this morning’s issao, taken from
the Constitutionalist and Republic.

Trial of Bishop Donne.
Camden, Sept. 5—The Court of Bishops met at 10
o’clock this morning.
After prayer by Bishop Otey, spectators were re
quested to retire.
Bishop Doane protested against tho nso of a small
anti-chnmber, adjoining tho court room, by the coun
sel for the prosecution.
He said It was giving them an advantage not pos
sessed bv his counsel and friends. If the doors were
not to do opened to tho public, ho thought they
should be entirely closed, and he protested against
proceeding until said room was cleared.
Bishop Meade, of the prosecution, objected to the
motion, and said the room had been rented by the
prosecution, and no persons occupied it bat the coun
sel for the presenting Bishops.
Bishop Doane objected that there were no counsel
yet on either side recognized by tho Court, nnd the
gentlemen occupying the adjoining room, should be
included in the order which excluded the public from
the Court room.
After a brief debate, tho motion prevailed, nnd
Bishops Mcilvaino and Burgess notified their friends
iu tho small room to leave.
Accordingly tho legal gentlemen, Mr. Ilalsted, and
others, had to evacuate.
Bishops Otev and McCoskroy were appointed a
committee to clear the stairs, and in a few minutes
tho following order of the Committee was posted on
the street door;
“ Persons, not members of tho Coart, are requested
□ot to stand in the entry, or on the stairs. The door
keeper Is requested to enforce order.”
In the absence of Bn. Wainwright, the Secretary,
from sickness, Bishop Williams, of Connecticut, was
appointed Secretary.
the motion made yesterday by Bi3bop Whitting-
ham, to hear the committee of tho Diocese, came up.
Bishop Donne addressed tho Court at length, urg
ing the justness of this motion.
He warned the Court not to trench upon tho rights
of an independent diocese. It would be a bad prece
dent for the Church to do that, which she had pro
tested against Rome for doing. This error the Court
would commit, if it refused to hear the Diocese of N.
Jersey. _
Bishop D. continued speaking Dp to half-past 12.
It is doubtful whether tbe question will be decided
to-day. The Court is not quite full yet, three Bishops
being abseut.

Novel Way of Holding a Horse.
A gentleman travelling through Germany, thus
describes a novel method of fastening a horse, which
he saw put in practice by a German blacksmith :
“ As soon as breakfast was over, I generally enjoy
ed tlio luxury of riding about town, and in passing
tbe shop of a blacksmith, tho manner in wulch he
tackled and shod a vicious horse amused me. On tbe
outside of tho wall of the house two rings were firm
ly fixed, to one of which tho patient’s head was lashed,
close to the ground ; the hind foot to be shod, stretch
ed to tho atraost extent of the leg, was then secured
by the other ring, nbout five iect high, by a cord
which passed through a cloven hitch, fixed to the
root of the poor creature's tail. Tho hind foot was
consequently very much higher than the head; in
deed it was quite exalted, and pulled so heavily at
the tail, that the animal seemed auitcanxious to keep
his other foot on terra Anna. With one foot in the
heavens, it did not suit him to kick ; with his nose
pointing to the infernal regions, he could not conve
niently rear; and as a heavy band was constantly
pulling at his tail, the horse at last gave up the point,
and quietly submitted to be shod.”
Railroad Conductors.—On tho English railroads
tho conductor at the starting of the train receives
from the hands of the proper officer a chronometer of
the most approved construction; this chronometer is
closed, and the conductor cannot open it. When he
arrives at the end of his route, ho bands tbe chronom
eter to the officer appointed to receive it, who notes
tbe time and compares it with the standard. Tho
conductor of a railroad passenger train is in a position
of greater responsibility than the captain of a compa
ny of soldiers. Nothing can be plainer than that only
men of prudence, discretion and intelligence should
be selected, that oven theyBhould not be entrusted
with the charge of a train till they have been thor
oughly instructed, and that they should be paid Buch
a compensation as will make it an object for men of
such cnaracter and qualifications to adopt the business
with tbe view of remaining in it permanently taking
their chances to rise to be masters of transportation,
superintendents and presidents of railroads, to which
tbe best of them might reasonably look.
In all cases, chronometers, the best that science
and skill can supply, should be furnished to the con
ductors- They should not be allowed to run by tho ir
own time keepers, but only by those tested and kept
constantly accurate by tho company. Even the
Camden and Amboy railroad, we nnderstand, docs
this; and this furnlshoa sufficient evidenco not merely
that it is important for tbo safety of tbe train, but
thatit is, on the whole, the cheapest policy,—Prctu-
dence Journal.

Wo feel no disposition to depreciate Mr. Jenkins'
real claims to be ranked among the talented and dis
tinguished oltisens of onr State and country. Nor
will we even quarrel with tho unquestionable privi
lege or the “ Republican citizens" to call him illus
trious. We shall not find fault oven with tho amiable
enthnstasm of Mr. Bartow for his illustrious friend,
whom he glorifies in tbe following terms, as reported
of his Effingham speech: “ He was unambitious,
honest, faithful and able—a mojf noble man— one of
tho noblest of his species, with all the attributes of
greatness, made in the image of his maker, and true
to this impress of Divinity?'

mulate enough money to porobaM this species of
property as it would bo a inro resource for their fam
ilies in the event of misfortune happening to them.—
There Is mucji plausibility in the argument, and up
on the first flash of the subject we incline to favor the
policy of the law.

that Important news had been received from
to the effect that peace has been restored, and the
blockade of the river Irrawaddy raised. No particu
lars ore given, nor do we find any mention of this
news in the Indian accounts published by tbe London
Times, of the 15th August. Bombay news, accord
ing to the Times, dates to the 2d of July. It men
tions a current report “ that the Bnrmese field force
is to be immediately broken up, and it is surmised
that tho Pegu division will then be divided into two
commands, of which one will be allotted to the Ben
gal, and the other to the Madras army.” This, of
coarse, refers to tbe British forces in Burmah ; bnt it
is immediately afterwards stated that nothing is
known of the intentions of the King of Ava, and that
the Burmese appeared still to expect the British to
advance on their capital, and confined themselves to
defensive measures, such as making new: stockades
between Prome and Mecaday.

ment from the opinions of the press, thero is very
little doubt bat there hi very general acquiescence in
tbe measure.
The only objections we can see to the law, are that
it will encourage Idleness and interfeto, with tho col
lection of debts. We think these objections are rath
er plausible than sound. A man who lias industry
enough to aoenmnlato money sufficient to bay a ne
gro by hla own labor will hardly fail to increase In
enerjnr whon ho bos a fair prospect of adding to his
wealth by his joint labor of himself and his slave. In
deed, the greatest Incentive to idleness is the hope
lessness of more than a competency. Furthermore,
no law can be passed interfering with the lien of pre
existing debts. The Legislature would not fell there
fore, to limit the operation of the exemption to debts,
to be contracted after its passage. In that event, no
hardships coaid result from the law, as credit could
be obtained upon tbo property exempt from execu
tion.
Thero arc many reasons which could be adduced to
Bbow the policy of passing a similar law in Georgia.
It is well known that slave holders are a very Btnall

was done, and did he not also sugg 0 * 4 various altera

not their suggestions, or Borne of them, adopted by Mr.

Fourth. Were not the Preamble and Resolntions,

ers, outside of the Convention, submitted to the com

Were not the Preamble and Resolutions submitted

from the Georgia Platform, and in what consisted tho

Fifth—Was tho fourth Resolution, as contained in

Convention, among the resolutions submitted by Mr.

All the above questions wc submit to Mr. Stephens

the first, which is addressed more especially to Mr.
Jenkins.
We challenge these gcntlomcu to answer theso
questions ? If they will not do so in writing, they
can do bo on tho Btump, they will have frequent op

These questions are not put blindly and experi
mentally. If these gentlemen will answer them,
their answers will prove our position, that Mr. Jen
kins is not the author of the Georgia Platform. He
is not entitled to the monopoly oi that honor.
The platform he submitted, first to his friends, and
next to tho Committee, differed materially and in es
sential points from that adopted by tho Convention.
Wo speak from direct, positive and reliable informa

our assertions if they can. Let any member of tho
Committee of thirty-three deny it. Let the original

Failing in this, the claim set up, which is to hand
down tho name of Mr. Jenkins to posterity, is si
lenced.
We freely accord to Mr. Jenkins his full meed of
credit for his share in the conBtractlonof tho Georgia
Platform. At the same time we are equally free to
say.that if the construction had been left exclusively
to Mr. Jenkins, tho platform ho would have placed
the peoplo of Georgia upon, weald not have been satis
factory to them; nor If satisfactory, would it have
guinea for her that distinction uniong her sister States
that is claimed as the result of the Georgia Platform.
There is one notable incident in the history of the
Convention which wo call to the notice of the gentle
men intcrogated, presuming it will re".esh their re
collection oi other facts going to show that the Geor
gia Platform is not now wholly in accordance with
the views entertained in the Committee by Mr. Jen
kins.
The fourth resolution was so worded in tho Com
mittee as to embrace abolition of slavery in the Bis-
' ‘ ness as among the causes
’isruption." Mr. Jenkins
„ _ 4 . r Committee, the incorpora
tion of this contingency among these causes. He
contended that Congress had the constitutional power
to abolish slavery in the District, and would probably,
sooner or later, exercise it, and objected to tho State
being committed to resistance, even to disruption, for
any such cause. He was overruled, and the fourth
resolution, with this contingency embraced in it, was
reported by tho Committee.
it is very much tho habit of tho Whigs not only to
put under contribution all the legitimate capital be
longing to and available for any of their candidates,
but to borrow from each other, and to mako use of
the same capital for different candidates, successive
ly, to suit each exigency as it may arise. For in
stance, Mr. Stephens, in a recent speech in Augusta,
claimed for Mr. Jenkins the chief credit of having or
iginated, advocated and pushed through the State
Railroad. The Savannah Republican has recently
been blowing the trumpet very loud for Mr. Bartow,
Whig candidate for Congress in the 1st district, on the
same grouds. Yet it will be remembered, that on both
occasions, when the Hon. Geo. W. Crawford was a
candidate for Govenor, the Whigs insisted that he was
tho leading originator, champion and mainstav of
of that great State enterprise. Having mado all the
□so of the assertion they could in this caso, they now
seek to relieve Gov. Crawford from the honors then
claimed for him, to help Mr. Jenkins through this
canvass. It is not to be doubted that if Mr. Asbury
Hull, or Mr. Andrew J. Miller, or any other promin
ent Whig in the Legislature, contemporaneously
with these gentlemen, had been tbe candidate for
Govonor,/ie too would lmvo been lauded as the origi
nator and champion of the State Road.
This towering plume is to bo transferred, succes
sively, from one Whig cap to another, to win the
gaze and catch the votes of the people, without mnch
regard to original rights. But all this time tbe whigs
do not breath tho name of a single one of the long ar
ray of intelligent and patriotic Democrats whoso
voices and influence were devoted so effectively to the
cause of tbe State Road.
So with regard to the State finances. The claim,
above all others, apart from party grounds which the
Whigs urged in favor of Gov. Crawford’s reflection
in 1845, was that he was a great financier—that his
financial talents bad achieved the redemption of onr
State credit from depression and dishonor, brought
on it by the Central Bank, and that he, pre-eminent
ly over all others in the State, had placed it on a
sound basis. The Democrats need only be reminded
of this to recall distinctly the leading features of that
canvass. Bat now this proud distinction, bo noisily
claimed for Gov. Crawford, is sought to be transfer
red from him to Mr. Jenkins. In the same speech of
Mr. Stephens at Angusta, and no doubtinhisspcech-
es elsewhere, Mr. Jenkins is brought forward aa the
great Negkkr of onr age and 8tate, that won immor
tality by the splendor of his fiscal achievements du
ring tho same period of financial difficulty.
These clap-traps are treated by tbe Whigs as con
venient garments, fitting m well one candidate as
another. With these, each one is decorated and mus
tered through a campaign. When he has fought
through, they are cast off and fitted on to the next
comer. We presame we shall have the pleMnreof
seeing several other Whigs, or “ Republican Citi
zens" thus rigged ont in future campaigns m they
are successively pat in the field m candidate for Gov
ernor.
Had Mr. Btephons, or Mr. Toombs, or Senator Daw
son been tbe candidate for Governor, there would
con say bnt that it may yet be invoked for these gen
tlemen on some snob future occasion.

From tbo Houtgomerj Advertiser.
The North Carolina Standard shows up, in short
order, the hypocrisy of Southern Whigs who accuse
President Pierce or favoring tho freesoilere. Every
one must be amused at tbe dilemma in which theso
carping gentlemen place themselves in their puerile
attempts to continue tho slavery agitation. They
would mako ont the President as hostile to our insti
tutions because, they say, he appoints freesoilere to
office, and at the same time they abuse him for ap
pointing Southern ultruists, real died-in-the-wool pro-
slavery men. They find it hard to sustain themselves,
even to their own satisfaction, in these rediculous po
sitions. As it is incumbent upon them to oppose tho
administration, thoy should pick outsome more feasi-
able cause of complaint, and one in which they are
not so completely stultified as in one so inappropri
ately chosen.
We make an extract from tho article of the Stand
ard to which we refer above :
" Bat what right have whig editors to complain on
such a subject? Who passed the fugitive slave law ?
The friends of Pierce, Buchanan, Douglass and Cass
—Northern Democrats, with no Whig in the Senate,
and only three Whigs in the House sustaining it.
Mr. Webster, it is true, staked himself like a man, as
he was, for tho “ compromise;" bathe was denounc
ed nnd reviled for it by Massachusetts and New York
Whigs, and the nomination for the Presidency con
ferred, by their instrumentality, upon “ Seward’s
own”—Winfield Scott. Tho South went by the board
in that Convention—its rights were • slaughtered,’
as Mr. Clay was in the Convention of 1848 ; and it
was done because tho Whig Party North, as a party,
was the great abolition party—because the strength
of the Whigs was thero, and not in the South—and
because members of that Convention, representing
themselves and a greedy horde of expectants, were
determined, at whatever hazard or cost, to obtain the
offices and patronage which a Whig triumph would
bring along with it. Mr. Fillmore and Mr. Webster
were set aside becaase they were not * available’—
that is, because they had gone for the * compromise,’
and lost popularity by it; and Southern men not on
ly acquiesced in this movement, but they sustained
it in Convention, defended it before a slave-holding
people, and endeavored to humbug them into tho be
lief that they were the exclusive and most particular
champions of their rights and interests. This is
Southern Whiggery in its alliance with Northern
anti-slavery IVhiggery ; and yet this same Southern
Whiggery has the effrontery to censure President
Pierce forhisappointraents, and to question bis sound
ness on the subject of Blavery 1”
Wo to-day hoist tho names of the standard bearers
ortho Democracy. They were chosen on the 6th inst.,
at a meeting of the delegates selected for that pur
pose, which assembled at the Court House at 12 M.
Joseph Sturgis was nominated for the Senate by
acclamation,and MessrsMcDougald and Crawford
for Representatives, were chosen by a majority of
two-thirds on the first ballot, and on motion tho nom
ination was then made unanimous.
The ticket represents fairly the varied phases of po
litical sentiment which are supposed to exist in the
Democratic party; and if the friends of each candidate
will cordially support the others the triumpliant elec
tion of the ticket fs a positive certainty. The candi
dates are all well known to tho people of Muscogee ;
they are men of talent and known popularity and
pledged to tbe support of Pierce's administration
and the great cardinal principles of the Democratic
party. A strong pull a long pull and a harmonious
pull will be sure to put them through.—Columbus
Times, 30th.
A Good Man’s Wish.—I freely confess to yon,
that I would rather, when I am laid in the grave,
someone in his manhood would stand over hie and
say—“ There lies one who was a real lriend to me,
and privately warned me of the dangers of the young ;
no one knew it, but lie aided rao in tiie timo of need.
I owe what I am to him.” Or I would rather have
somo widow, with choking utterance, telling her
children,—“ There is your friend and mine. He vis
ited me in my affliction, and found you, ray son
employer, and you, my daughter a happy home
virtuous family.” I say I would rather that i
persons should stand at my grave, than to havccrect-
cd over it the most beautifully sculptured monument
of Parian or Italian marble. The hearts broken ut
terances of reflections of post kindness, and tho tears
of grateful memory shed upon the grave, are more
valuable, in my estimation, than the most costly
cenotaph ever reared.—Dr> Shaip.
Secret op Matrimonial Happinesb.—Rschokkc
gives this advice to a brido : “In the first solitary
hour after the ceremony, take the bridegroom, and
demaud a solemn vow of him, and give him ouo in
return. Promise one another sincerely, never, not
even in jest, to wrangle with each other; never to
bandy words or indulge in the least ill humor. Nev
er, I say never! Wrangling in jest, and putting on
an air of ill humor merely to tease becomes earnest
by practice. Mark that! Next, promise each other,
sincerely and solemnly, never to have a secret from
each other, under whatever pretext, with whatever
cause it might be. You must continually and every
moment, see clearly into each other’s bosom. Even
when one of yon has committed a fault, wait not an
instant, but confess it freely—let it cost tears, but
confess it. And as you keep nothing secret from
each other, so, on the contrary, preserve the privacies
of your house, marriage state and heart, from father,
mother, sister, brother, annt, and all the world. You
too, with God’s help, build your own quiet world ;
every third or fourth one whom you draw into it with
von, will form a party, and stand between you two.
That should never be. Promise this to each other.
Renew tho vow at each temptation. You will find
yonr account in it. Your souls will grow as it were
together, and at last they will become as one. Ab, if
many a young pair bad on their wedding-day known
this secret, how many marriages were happier than
alas! they are 1”
Peru and Bolivia.—The advices from Lima down
to July 25th, leave these two governments still in a
belligerent attitude. Bolivia had protested against
the occupancy by Peru of the Port and town of Co-
bija by her troops. This looks like a determination
F iublics. Peru will no doubt proseeute
ntention of making war against President Belzo. for
the purpose of restoring the Bolivian administration,
which he overthrew on coming into power, and prob
ably with success.
The Wakulla, Fla., Times says: “ A wagon load
