i Damooratle Meetingo
A much larger number than ooold be accomtnodat*
edsasembledst tho Exchange last night. For a list
‘ of the speakete we refer to the -offlolal report of tho
meeting. Several moet effective addresses were do-
silvered i that of Mr. Surd, of Bryan county- a Scott
Whig in 1881, but an ardent supporter of Johnson,
Seward, and the admlhlstration now-was one of the
most entertaining to which we hato listened for
many a day; It is too late, while we write, to at
tempt any sketch of it, or of the remark* ot other
gentlemen, though muoh that was said is well worthy
of being plsoed npon record.
- The Indications were, we think, decidedly favora
ble. Let the spirit of the meeting animate them
next Monday, and the Democracy of Chatham will
prove to the State how unjust is tho suspicion that
they intend to prove false to principles and duty.
«In uniting .to Foreigners, Jews and
Catholics.*'
The Augusta Coiutitutionalitt, of Wednesday, has
a scathing review of a communication, denouncing
the President, which appeared in tho Chronicle tf
Sentinel, over the signature of “ Examiner." Tho
Constitutionalist is inclined to aUribnte its authorship
to Mr. Toombs, from tho similarity of some of its sen.
timenta to opinions expressed by that gentleman.
We wish we had room for tho remarks of our cotem
porary, bat as we have not, we will content ourselves
with noticing some of the matters of complaint made
again&t tho President through this leading organ of
the Jenkins and Bartow party. Wo premise by say
ing that the article of “ Examiner,” who is supposed
to be Mr. Toombc, is addressed to the President him-
self. We beg oar friends in this city, especially such
as are so unfortunate as to be either •' foreigners,
Jews or Catholics,” to notice the offences with which
this enemy of the administration taxes the President:
1. —“ Foreigners."
The first charge is in these words:
“ To* Insult the pride of Native Americans, you
search for foreigners to fill office.”
Fellow citizens of foreign birth! what do you think
of that charge against Pierce ? There is, no doubt,
foundation for it. There are, perhaps, men of that
class holding office under the administration in every
city of tho Union. Examples may be found even in
Savannah, te which we should at once be pointed if
we were to deny it. What, then, is to be done about
it? Is it a sin for which the President is to be re
buked ? Is it an unpardonable offence in him that he
baa insulted “the pride of Native Americans,” by
searching for “ foreigners to fill office.” If so, let
our citizens of foreign birth rebuke him for it, by sus
taining Jenkins and Bartow, tho candidates who
run in opposition to the administration.
The great effort of our opponents is to “ rebuke”
Piebob by electing his enemies. If yon ure not
willing that ho should be denounced and repudiated
for the appointment of your brethren—men of your
own unfortunate class, who left home and kindred in
the Old World to And liberty In the New—then vote
for Johnson and Seward—friends of tho administra
tion, who stand prepared on all occasions to defend
its appointments against these Native American at
tacks. What say you ? Are you for Jenkins and
Bartow, or for Johnson and Seward ?
2. —" CATHOLICS.”
Tho Roccnd crime with which Pierce i? charged is
thi3: " You (Franklin Pierce) have placed at tho
, disposal of the Catholic Bishop a man-of-war of the
Navy, at tho very time too when they (Catholics) ure
attacking the freedom of onr educational system.”
Loath as we are, and ever have been, to bring re
ligion into political contests, wo pass by this charge
in silence. Let it speak for itself. We only say that
if for this offence tho administration is to be destroy
ed, the blow should come from Catholics themselves.
If the^ wish to indict it they cau do it by votiug
against JOHNSON aud SEWARD, and for Jenkins
and Bartow.
3.—“ JEWS.”
Last H is said to tho Presidents “ You openly re
ward a Jew for using foreign money to advance yout
election.” Upon this charge—that of appointing a
Jew—tho Constitutionalist remarks :
Now U re tlie gravamen of tho offence is not that tha
President has rewarded a partisan friend for using money
to advance his election, but that ho rewarded a Jkw for do
ing so. This is the offence that smells to heaven in tho
nostrils of this Whig puritan.
The sarcasm thus pointed at the President and tho Jews,
has special reference to Mr. Augusto Belmont, a gentleman
of the Hebrew blood and faith, of tine abilities, enlarged
commercial Intelligence, and liberal fortune, whom the
President, scorning narrow prejudices, sect, aud race, has
appointed Charge to Belgium.
We do not propose to offer a eulogy upon the Jews. or to
defend them against aspersions or proscription. It is tin-
necessary. The native Jews are citireus of our great coun
try. on terms of perfect equality with other native citizen*.
The naturalised Jew citizens are on equal terms with other
naturalized foreigners. Thoy have equal rights, and they
# ate capable of maintaining them. The laws of the land,
* and the justice and good sense of the country, will com
bine to protect and vindicate therli. They liavo their ob
jectionable traits. What nation of people has not 1 But
what race of men is more temperate, more Industrious,
more regardful of the value of education, more charitable
to the poor and tho sick of their own people ? How many
Jew drunkards, or Jew paupers are seen In our streets, or
our poor houses? Temporanco, industry, frugality, and
thrift, mark their course, wherever the legal disabilities,
which in Europe have bowed them down almost to tho dust,
hare been remorod. They have, in Europe, in spite of op
pression, furnished many great men to Oil high places In
statesmanship, in war, in letters, and the arts. While iu
this country Jews are found occupying some of tho high
est walks in professional and political life. D’lsraelT, a
- Jew, one qf England's ablest of living statesmen, lias ex
pressed wonder that the Jews should be repudiated and
sneered at by Christians, when ho whom they h»H aH 1,10
Saviuur of mankind, whose life was the subllniost example
of purity and’ virtue, and ills precepts the most perfect
code of morality vouchsafed to man, was of tho Jowish
race.
We havo uo comments to add. Wo will offer no
defence of the President. We leave these charges,
ouo and all, to be auswered by “ Foreigners, Cutho-
lics and Jews ” at the ballot box next Monday. What
say yon gentlemen—is Pierce “ guilty or not guilty”
of some great crime in having committed the offences
hero charged to him? If you say yes, vote for Jen
kins • an,d BARTow—if you say no, vote for Johnson
and Seward. ^
Itobt. Toombs in hla speech before the Convention that
nominated Jenkins for Governor, denounced tho foreigners

eminent stations under the Government, as “ a set of lied

Irish and Frenchmen, are Toombs and Jeukins the

In what admirable contrast with the tone of Fed-
edral Whig orators, and of the Native American
presses, is the following eloquent extract from an ad
dress delivered by Judge Johnson at Mercer Univer
sity In 1847. We desire to call to it tho special at
tention cf our fellow-citizens of foreign birth. They

port:
Iu tho benevolence of Its policy, our government throws
wide its doors to the emigrant from every land; and thou
sands annually avail themselves of this asylum for the op
pressed. They come into onr midst, incorporate themselves
with our society and after the requisite residence and legal
formalities, they assume the duties and rccoivo the privile
ges and immunities of citizenship. They come ignorant of
our laws and Institutions and entertaining natural sympa
thies for the customs and Institutions which they have lert.
Heretofore, however, emigration ha* not been sufficient to
destroy the homogeniousness of our population. But the
recent accessions to our territory, tho happiness which is
enjoyed by the free citizens of this republfo, and the mis-
erifei consequent upon want and oppression, which exist in
the old worifl, must greatly augment the Influx of foreign
ers to this country. In view or this, many Indulge the ap
prehension, that It may introduce a mixture of population,

* Correspondence of tho Savannah Dally Georgian.
Letter from Bulloch County.
Messrs. AHitori t—Som* few weeks since I thought I saw
a stratagem planned by those crafty Whigs to defeat our
party in electing a member to Congrosa from tho First Dis
trict ; and so, endeavoring both to dlvover it to our party
and at the name tlrao to do battle in tho cause of Democra
cy. I mado a charge on tho foo, with lnnco couched and
vIsot down, wlion—miralite vfzti f—who should bo tho flrat
to encounter mo In tho shock but a doughty knight in tho
person or Mr. C. A. L; Umar—one whom I had been taught
to consider as a very Duguescelin in the Democratic ranks.
But thi* is an age of wonders, any how !
Well, gentlemen, In reply allow me to say, that in my
first communication my words were, • As sentinels on the
watchtower of Democracy, allow mo to apprise you.” Ac.,
meaning by scntineU, In the plural, the editors of the
Georgian, of course, and not myself. “ As a sentinel,'’ was
a misprint, as you will perceive by referring to tho original
manuscript. No; 1 profess not to bo so vigilant or far-see
ing ns to merit so Important a post as sentinel on the
watchtower; but am only an humble and, I trust, a true
follower In the enrap of Democracy.
The gentleman rates me rpundly for, a want of vigilanco
in not having discovered tho stratagem sooner, (tho dis
semination orthoso piebald tickets); und states that it wns
known In “Chatham. Cherokee, Chattooga,'’ and tho Lord
knows where, long before the matter came to my knowl
edge. Now,.the gentleman haa surely forgotten that we
don’t all take the papers In this poor wiro-grass region—
that wo have neither locomotive, railroads, nor telegraphs,
as they havo in Chatham aud Cherokee—and that •• there’s
mighty few of us high larnt.” At any rate, if I was late
in tho discovery, I wns sooner tbnn the most prominent in
the county, for I was the first to apprise General Cone nnd
others of the fact, as they will testify. He goes on to say,
"that 1 knew moro about tho matter than I would have
peoplo believe,'’’—that •* I knew previously of the existence
of those tickets, and whence they came.” To that I reply
that, on my honor, I did not. Mr. Jns. Young, Sr., handed
mo tho tickets in question a abort time before I sent you
roy first communication, and he positively stated to me
that be knew not whence thoy came,—that thore.wa* no
lettor accompanying them,—and that ho supposed it
piece of Whig manauvring. I appeal to him for the truth
of this assertion. How then was I to know whenco they
came, or that I was doing Mr. Bartow injustice? Ho says
that “ it is well known that Mr. Bartow is absent from
homo.” Indeed ! Why I was not aware of that fact be
fore. Well, vie Bulloch folks must really bo excused for not
having duly informed ourselves of the arrival^ nnd depart
ures of such great men; for, as I said beforo, there are hut
few of us who “take the papers." Greatevents might hap
pen in this country, and wo be none the wiser. But wo
have lately got to growing black-seed cotton, nnd I trust
will improve betimes. Mr. L. intimates that it Is well that
Mr. Bartow is not at home, or my hide would not hold
shucks. Well. I declare, if there be so much danger, it is a
lucky thing for me that ho is not at homo—that’s a fact.'
To say truth, I could not resist the temptation of exposing
what I considered fraud on our party, iu sending to Bulloch
these Democratic-whig tickets—tickets that were “sort o’
bo, and sort o’ not so.” Other counties to which they were
sent, it la to be hoped, will know how to appreciate them.
As for the peoplo of Bulloch, they consider it as an insult
to their understandings to attempt to make Bartow go down
glibly with them, by mixing together on the same tlckot
the names of Johnson. Bartow and Henry—just as children
are sometimes induced to take nauseous physic, by smoth
ering it in a spoonful of sweetmeats.
The gentleman *• can’t go Seward.” itseems. Very well:
but because he can't go for an objectionable candidate of
his own party, I should llko to know by wlmt process of
reasoning lie arrives at the conclusion that ho must needs
support a whig 1 And I should think that when one could
not possibly go right, that he was not bouud by any rule
of othics to go. for the more love of going, and so go wrong*
even, rather than not go at all. This is like tho story of
tho man I hoard of somewhere, who, by hook or by crook,
became wound up like n watch, nnd who. for tho lifo of him,
could not stop himself until lie had run absolutely down.
That would, Indeed, be a rich fltoro of impulse—sufliclent
to turn a grist-mill.
Hut It appears that Mr. I.. goes for Bnrtow ot all hazards.
Now, I really think that Mr. Barlow should have been let
nJone—his friends were ceitainly too obtrusive. TVhy. he
declared that he could not bo prevailed upon, by no manner
of mean.*, to accept the nomination from tho whigs as a can
didate for Congress. No. not he ! Couldn’t tbluk of such
a thing. But hy a deal of coaxing, at lust, with modest
mien and averted eyes, he has been induced to act the
maid’s part, say-no," and take it. Mr. L.'s objection to
Mr. Seward is, that “ ho nominated himself, and then forced
tho convention" that met at Holrarsville *• to confirm that
nomination.” This, I suppose, is the -‘head nnd front of
his offending.” If 1 am rightly informed, ho was first re
commended by the gubernatorial convention that met at
MUlcdgevillo, although, in the gentleman's “judgment,”
ho is “unfit for the position ho is aiming at." He then
announced himself as a candidate, (mind you. he did not
wait to be courted nnd coaxed into the measuro, like his
opponent.) and tho convention that met subsequently at
Holrot-svllle confirmed tho nomination. They could not
havo done otherwise, for they intended to nominate him
anyhow. If thoy had chosen to nominate any otbor per
son, Mr. Seward would doubtless havo acquiesced, and would
havo “ come down." But, by-the-way, thisjs truly a fine
compliment of Mr. L.’s to the HolmesvlUo CouveuUon, In
assorting that thoy were “ forced to coufirm tho nomlna-
of Mr. Seward.” What a precious tot of ninnies they must
be in Mr. L'h estimation!
Yet lahppe and pray that our friend Mr. L. will “ turn
from tl^rror of his ways,” and not only oschew Barlow,
but avoid even the apjiearance of running after the strange
gods of whiggery. In supporting such an ultra-whig as
Bartow, has the gentleman well considered tho issues that
may arise during the next two years? Is ho indifferent?
Can ho bo indifferent whether whig or democratic principles
are in the ascendant in the national councils for so long n
time ?
The election Is close at hand, and It will of course be
useless for me to ssy anything farther upon tho subject—
not by any means caring, like an angry woman, to •• havo
the last word.” I havo done—happy if I ahull have suc
ceeded In ray humble efforts to neutralize the exertions
hitherto made to seduce our Democratic friends from their
allegiance
Yet one more word. My friend Mr. L. scorns to think
that I, as a sentinel, was surely “ asleep at my post," and
of course deserved “ to be thrown ovorboard” by our party.
Well, Mr. L., by hla own admission, had these tickets print
ed at “Mr. Purse’d.tho Democratic h»ad-qunrters.” Now,
1 submit It for the consideration of tho gentleman, which
Is tho worse, and which most deserves to be thrown over
board by a tegular court-martial of our party, the one who
l,a* unluckily becu caught napping at his Democratic post,
or lio who, claiming to be a Democrat, lias yot gone into the
Democratic armory to got weapons to fight for Whiggery;
and whether, to say the least, ho does not doservo to be
placed in the same category with 8auma.vdkr.

Revival* or itullgloii.
News comes to ns from abroad, from many places,
of great religious revival*. One has just closed in the
Methodist Church, at Enon,Macon county, aboutsix-
ty having come out and declared themselves follow
ers of Christ. Just before its commencement, a re
ligious meeting closed in. the Baptist Church ofthe
same place, during the progres* of which, several
inndo a profession of religion. In so small a place as
Enon, we could hope, that, alter bo many have enlist
ed under tho bannerof the cross, that few are left to
advoente the cause of Satan. In Glennvillo likewise,
nnd in Cuthbert. Georgia, they have had considera
ble revivals. The result of their religious labors In
these places, we have not ascertained.
From many other places we hear of similar meet
ing, and we trust that where they havo occurred,
they will not be followed, as is sometimes the case,
toy a deadening reaction, and moral apathy upon the
hearts and religious feeling or tho people. Our ob
servation in life would lend us to fear tiiis. Iudeed
we have sometimes though that it is a natural result
of religious excitements, os they prevail at the pres
ent day. They seem to involve, at times, some other
ngency than that ofthe Holy Spirit, nnd’to bo stimu
lated by other than its divine breathings. Wo do not
pretend to judge howCVer in this matter, nor arc we
to be understood as condemning these revivals.
We sometimes think, howcvcv, tijnt the Devil uses
Christians themselves, not uuftcquently on such oo-
cosions, as a means of hindering the influence of the
spirit of God, nnd of thwarting the very object it is
the design of religion* meeting* to accomplish. Wo
have, at time*, seen what wo considered more of an
anxiety on tho part of some, to increase the number
of their membership, to ehlargo their influence, nnd
thus become tho domiunnt ruling sect of n community
than un earnest, heartfelt, nnd holy desire, fur the
true and saving conversion of souls. Wo may be
mistaken, but we have frequently been thus impress
ed. This impression lias been strengthened too, by
the fact, that we have heard of bitter complaints
laid against some, who, having professed a hope un
der the ministry of one denomination afterwards con
nected themselves witli the churoii of another.
Sucli feeling and motives the Devil never falls to
turn to his own advantage ; they open a wide door in
the church for hU operations, they bautsh the Influence
of tho Holy Spirit in a great measure ; eat religion
out of the heart, and never fail to iuduce lukewarm
ness, barrenness, and rellgous stagnation in any com
munity.
Hence, we verily believe, one reason why wc see so
many professing Christians who never produce “ the
peaceable fruit* of righteousness;” ana so many re
vivals of religion atteuded by so little appurent good
in their final result*.
In an unholy zeal for tiio mere enlargement of the
membership of our own church, and the promulga
tion of our own peculiar religious tenet*, we overlook
or forget the true end for which the church and the
preaching of the gospel were instituted. Wo lose
sight of this, in our blind devotion and partiality to
church dogmas, doctrines and discipline. We too
often pervert or disregard the trim end of Christiani
ty by an unwarrantable zeal to have others umbrare
our own religious full Is. To change the heart, not to
proselyte the individual to any Ret of tenets, is its
aim ; which it seems to ns we often reverse. In tiiis
way Christ, is often wounded in the house of his
friends, and tlie Christian' Church generally reduced
to tlie lamentable condition in which the Angel found
the church of Sardis, “ thua hast a name that thou
Hvest, and art dead.”
Living lor Show Only.
There are two kind* of people in tlw world, those
who live for comfort, nnd those who live onlyforehow.
The latter are more numerous than might be suppos
ed. They crowd every condition of life, but arc often-
cut found among persons in moderate circumstances ;
and exist in tlie country as well as in the city, though
more numerously in tlie latter. To keep up appear
ances, they sacrifice comfort, economy, aud some
times even health. Ambitious of living as handsome
ly as their wealthier neighbors, nnd forgetting tnat
people of sense never estlmnto others by outward
show, they pinch, and pure, aud often almost starve,
iu order to wear flue dresses, have rose-wood furni
ture in the purlor, orgivc expensive entertainment*,
instead of livinig within their means, nnd thus being
always independent, they are continually exceding
their income* nnd making themselves* slaves to debt.
Nor do they, after all, secure that gratification to
their vanity, which was the paltry reward for which
they sacrificed so much. Much as they strive to out
shine, there is nlwav* somebody, whom they know,
to surpass them ; somebody who lias a finer house, or
more elegaut furniture ; somebody who wears acostli-
er brocade, give* a handsomer party, or drives a su
perior equiqagc.
A man must lie more or less of a hypocrite who
lives systematically for show. If lie would look into
his heart narrowly, he would find that, in other things
besides his style of living, he was striving to appear
what lie was not. A person cannot have a weakness
of this description without its affecting bis entire
character, even though it may be unconsciously.—
Tho truthful man feels inexpressibly degraded nt
seeming to be wlmt lie is not. He scorns as much to
act a lie ns to tell one. It j* also, we fear, a mark of
a trivial nature to live for show. Life is ton coherent
a thing, and involves too many serious duties, to be
consumed in a petty pursuit of appearances. It is ns
if Boldlere, iustead ol deleading their camp, should
spend their time in chasing butterflies.
The wise man lives for his own comfort, for the
good be may do, or for tho elevation of his family ;
but never for show. He does not, however, imitate a
hermit, by repudiating altogetber the elegancies of
life, but confines himself to such as arc within his
menus. He thus escapes being barrassed with bills,
lie thus avoids the pang of envy; and he is secure al
ways of knowing that he is esteemed for himself alone.
The man who lives for comfort, gets the happiness
for which he bargains. But ho who lives for show,
pursues an ignis faluus, that eludes his grasp, and
cheats him continually.—Philad. Ledger.
Gov. Steven*’ expedition.
Letter* from tlie exploring party of Gov. Stevens,
dated at Fort Union, on tlie mouth of tho Yellow
Stone river, Aug. 2d. have been received at St. Paula,
and are published to the Minnesota Democrat. It
appears that the train has passed over 725 miles of
tho proposed northorn route of the Pacific railroad,
and that the success of tho expedition, thus far, have
been eminently successful. The Democrat adds ;
We have tho most positivo assurance that Governor
Stevens, on his arrival at Fort Union, Vas not only
pleased with the country which he bad traversed alter
leaving this place, but that ho was so fully convinced
that tho great northern route combined so many ad
vantages over all others, that its early completion
had ceased to bo considered by bim as problematical.”
Vicksburg, Shreveport and Texas Railroad.
From-the Ouachita (Monroe) Register, of the 13th
inst.,wo learn by a letter from tho engineer of this
road, that the location ofthe section from Red River
to the Texas lino is now completed, and that the dif-
flcnltiesmet with on the preliminary survey havo
been greatly Reduced. For a distartce of twenty miles
that lino of location does not vary more than a hall
mile in length from an air line; it has bnt four slight
curves, making nboutfifiOO feet curvature; tho balance
is on straight lines. These curves are bo Blight that
thoy will, In practice, amount to very little or noth
ing. There will be no excavations needed, nor any
embankments as high as thirty feet—only 3200 lin
ear feet of trustlo-work and fifteen culverts.
No difficulties were met with in getting titles of-re-
linqnisbment for tho right of wsy, these having been
conceeded by the proprietors ofthe land over almost
the entire line, without a dollar of cost to the compa
ny. The engineer also succeeded in letting contracts
to the planter* for clearingand grubbing the track,
at prices considerably underestimates. Dr. Flournoy
took the contract from tho Texo*11ne to the eastern
boundary or bis plantation, a distance of over eight
miles, and agreed to take the entire amount in stock
ofthe company.
The engineer is bow employed in locating the sec-
tion west of Monroe. The section west of Vicksburg
will be oommenoed as soon as practicable. Clear the

Dr. I. P. Garvin—
Dear Sir : In my letter «f tho 3lst ult., I intimat
ed that I might, in a few days, write you more fully
on the subject to which it related. My objects were,
1st, to show, hy what I havo said on former occa
sions, that I was not, in that letter, expressing any
new view* on the puiut referred to, ami 2d, to sus
tain, by reference to the past, the repreaentntions of
puiiticul friends in your State. I should have written
you ut an earlier day but for my inability to procure
Home of the materials I required.
1.—ABOLITIONISM.
The first great movements of the abolitionists in
this State were made in 1832. To counteract them a
meeting was called in September of that year, at Al
bany. without distinction of party. Hon. Wm. L.
Maroy, then Governor of the State, presided, and I,
then Secretary of State, addressed the meeting and
offered the resolutions, all of which, with a Hingle ex
ception, were drawn by myself. Among them were
tho following:
>• Ilcsohxd. That, under the constitution of the United
States, tlie relation or master nnd slave 1» a matter belong,
ing exclusively to tho people of each State within its own
boundaries ; that the general government baa no control
over It, that it is subject only to tho respective arrnngu-
mentH or the several States, within which It exbt* ; nml
that auy *tteinpt by tho peoplo or government ofany other
Stato, or by tho geiieralgovernment; to interfere with
disturb it would violate tlie spiritoftlie compromise,which
lies at tlie basis of tlu- federal compact.
*• JtesolvaL Thnt tlie Union of the States, which under
I’rovidenco lias conferred tho richest blessings on tho peo
ple, was the result of compromise aud conciliation, that we
can only hope to maintain it by abstaining from all inter-
fi-rence with the laws, domestic polloy and peculiar inter
ests of every other State : and that all such interference,
which tends to nllenato one portion of our countrymen
from the rest deserves to be frowned upon with indigna
tion by all who cherished tho principles of our revolutiona
ry fathers, ami who desire to preserve the constitution by
the exerciso of that spirit of amity, whicli animated its
framers.
“ llesolved. That, we deprecate as sincerely as nny portion
of our fellow citizens, tlie conduct of individuals, who ure
attempting to coerce our breth;en in olhe.-States. into tlie
abolition of slavery by appeals to the fears or tlie master
and the passions of the slave; that we cannot but consider
them as disturbers of the public peace; nnd that we will,
by all constitutional and lawful means, exert our Influ
ence to arrest the progress of measures tending to loosen
the bonds ofUnlon nnd to create between us au ourSoutli-
ern brethren feelings of alienation an I distrust, from which
the most fatal consequence* are to be apprehended.
“fiesoh'cd, That while we impulc no criminal design to
the greater part cf those, who have united themselves to
abolition societies, wo feel it our duty to conjure them, ns
brethren of the same great political family, to ubandou tlie
associations l»to which they havotmtcml.nnd to prove tlie
purity of their motives l.y discontinuing a course of con
duct. which they cannot now but seo must leud to disorders
nun crimes of the darkest dye.
Unsolved, That wliilo we would maintain inviolate the
liberty of speech nnd tho freedom of tho press, wo consider
discussions, which from their nature tend to inflame tho
public mind and put In jeopardy tho lives nnd property of
our fellow-citizen*, nt war with every rulo of moral dutv
nnd every suggestion of humanity ; and we shall be con-
strained, moreover, to regard those who. witli full knowl-
edge of their pernicious tendency, cuntinue to carry them
on. as disloyal to the Union, tho integrity of which can only
be maintained by a forbearance on the nnrt of all from eve
ry species of intvuslou Into the domestic concerns of other*.
•• llesolved. That the inevitable consi-qucnco of the uncon
stitutional and incendiary proceedings in relation to slavery
in the South, must be to aggravate the condition of the
blacks by exciting distrust and alarm among the white pop-
illation, who. for their own protection and security, will be
compelled to multiply restraints upon their slaves und tliu*
increase tlie rigors of slavery. *
•• llesolved. That tlie people of the South will do us great
injustice if they allow themselves to believe that tho few
among us who are interfering with tho question of slavery,
are nellng in accordance with the sentiment ot tho north
on this subject; and we do not hesitate to nssure them
thnt line great body of tlie northern people entertain upiu
ions similar to thoie expressed in these resolutions.
'• Filially llesolved. That we make these declarations to
our southern brethren in the same spirit of amity which
bound together their fathers nnd ours during a long and
eventful struggle for independence, and that we do. in full
remembrance of thnt common association, plight them <>ur
faith to maintain in practice, so far ns lie* fn our power,
wlmt we have thus solemnly declared.”
These* resolutions, which I offered as chairman of a
committee, appointed on my motion, were enforced
hy a speech from myself sustaining the several posi
tions assumed iu them, as a mutter of obligation and
duty.nrUing under tho political compact between the
State*. My sentiments are unchanged ; and I have
no hesitation in sayiug that nothing, inconsistent
with them, will bo found iu uuytliiug I have said
since that time.
2.—KREESOILISM.
In August, 1840, when President Polk asked of
Congress two millions of dollars (afterward* increas
ed to three millions,) with a view to terminate the
war with Mexico, a proviso was proposed by Mr. Wii-
inot, of Pennsylvania, and adopted by the House of
Representatives, prohibiting the introduction of slave
ry into any territory which might be acquired. It
was sent to the Senate on tlie last day of the session,
hot wns not acted on. In 1847 it was renewed, and
in tho meantime a large number of tlie non-slavchold-
ing States had passed resolutions, instructing their
Senators, and requesting their Representatives in
Congress to sustain it. New Hampshire, Vermont,
Rhode Island, and Pennsylvania, in the order in
which they nrc named, preceded New York in their
action on tiiis subject. The ground taken in Congress
nnd in most of tlie States was. that, os slavery had
been ubolished in Mexico, it ought not to be revived
or allowed to be introduced into any territory she
might cede to us, ns long ns the latter continued in
tlie territorial condition. The right of a State, on
coming into the Union, to establish or legalize slave
ry, as a local institutioh was generally conceded. I
have always considered it above all control or inter
ference by tlie federal government; and on the 1st of
March, 1847, in my llrst speech in the Senate, on tills
subject, I mnde the following propositions with a
view to tlie settlement ofthe whole question :
“1 All external Interference with idavcry in tho State*
is a violatiunjof the compromize* of the Con*lituti»n, ami
dangerous to tho harmony and perpetuity of the Federal
Union.
••2. If territory U acquired by the United State*, it
should, in respect to shivery, bo left ns it is found If
slavery exist* therein, at the time of the acquisition, it
should not be tlie subject of legislation by t.’ongre**. On
Iho other hand, if slavery does not exist therein, at the
time of the acquisition, its introduction ought to bo pro-
’ lubited while the territory coutinucs to be governed as
such.
-• 3. All legislation by Congress in respect to slavery in
the territory belonging to tlie United .States, ceases to be
onerative when tlie inhabitants are permitted to form a
State Government; and tlie admission of n State into tho
Unlnu, carries with it. bv virtue of tho sovereignty sucli
admission confers, tho right to dispose of tlie whole ques-
tion of slavery without external interference.”
These propositions I considered in substantial ac
cordance with the resolutions of tho legislature ofthe
State I represented, and they were in conformity to
ray own opinions.
It did not, of course, escape my notice, at the time
I mado these propositions, which were reiterated in
1848, in the word* in which they are above given,
and I think I so stated to some of my associates In
the Senate, that their adoption as a final adjustment
of the dispute would- bring Cuba into the Union,
when tho proper time should arrive, as a territory
first, and a State afterwards, without any question as
to the existence of slavery in that Island.
This, then, was the position of fourteen of the thir
ty States in 1848—tlmt if any territory was acquired
from Mexico, (slavery having been abolished,) it
should continue free from slavery as long as it whs
governed as a territory, leaving to tho people, when
they should organizo a Stato, to decide for themselves
what their condition iu this reaped should be. ThU
position I sustained from 1847 to 1849. My convic
tions of its justice were, I trust, a* sincere as the
opinions of tho.se from whom I differed. I have never
attempted any explanation of my action on this
•question, otherwise than as my recorded speeches in
the Senate explain it; and I am sure that nothing,
will be found in them which can be justly considered
offensive by thoso who dUagreed with ine. To the
people of the State of New York, whose instructions,
given through tho Legislature, I obeyed and defend
ed, I have always been ready to account',
8omo of the 8tate Legislatures in 1848 went further,
and passed resolutions agaiiiBt tlie admission of any
future slaveholding State into the Union. I never
isaented to such a proposition. On the contrary, I
relieved It to be irreconcilable with our obligations to
fibers—certainly to Texas, and it was inconsistent
#lth my own views of State sovereignty.
The long-pending controversy was settled after my
arm of service In the Senate liad expired—1st, by
.he admission of California into the Union, with a
lonstitutlon, formed by herself, prohibiting slavery;
ind 2d, by the organization of territorial governments
or Mexico and Utah without pucli a prohibition.—
These acts wore regarded, and generally acquiesced
n, as a settlement of the whole question. This was
oy view of the subject, and I have so treated it on
.11 occasions. '\
3.—FUGITIVE SLAVES.
1 have always acknowledged the right ofthe slave-
•olJing States, to demand the surrender of fugitive
f laves under that provision of tlie constitution which
equires the surrender of persons hold to sorvice nr
ibor, tho right of Congress to legislate on the sub
let, and the obligation to pass an effective law.
In a debate in tne Senate of the United States, on
bo 26th of July, 1848,1 made the following remark*:
•‘The Northern 8Ut*s have been repeatedly charged In
hie debate, and on many praviou* occasions, with eram-
Ion and violation* of the oonatltutlonal compact in their
ctlon on the subject of aUrery. with regent to the ear-
• ender of fugitive eUvee—the coee moet frequently cited-

like every’other law( of the Und. MJr vlsyfa wlth re-'

character, ure clearly expressed tn the following ex-'

And let, Ut it be distinctly understood, that tho law

“The law 1* the basis of all popular supremacy. It Is the
very feature by which free government I* distinguished
from despotism. To uphold it i* one of the highest duties
which Is devolved on us as freemen, It is always possible
that those who are intrusted with it* execution may err
in the perfoimauce of their duty. They may employ un
necessary, arbitrary or eveh wautoneeverity in enforcing It.
For nil this they may be held to a rigid account. - But no
orror in the execution can Impair tho obligation to uphold
it, It must be understood, and without reservation, that
tlie lew is to be inflexibly maintained.”
4.—TUB UIOilER LAW.
In July, 1850, shortly after tho promulgation of
Gov. Seward’s higher law doctrine, I referred to it in
an address to the Democracy of Herkimer county, in
tiiis Stato, published Immediately after, in the folliwv-
ing terms:
“ In the maintenance of principles, which we bellevo to
bo vital to our honor and prosperity, let us not forget that
we havo duties to perforin In a two fold relation, to our
selves, and othors to our sister States as members of a com
mon union, which we are pledged to maintain under all Its
constitutional forms, and to our democratic brethren in
this Slate, with whom wo have been associated In number
less contests and trials. Our first duty is fidelity td the
Constitution, lfwefalllathe observance of nny one of these
requirement*, how can wo call on the people of other States
to be faithful to it? if.aa lias been said theer ia Power above
tho Constitution, hie will, no fur a* It has been revealed to
u*. inculcates obedience to the government under which
we live, while it it administered in accordance with the
tundam-ntnl compact, submission to tho laws, fidelity to
duties arising under the Constiution, and a spirit or justice
to onr political associates. I am in favor of conforming to
all its requirements and of carrying them out fully and in
Rood faltli, no matter what thoy may be. No one of onr
obligations under tho Constitution can be less Imperative
than another. Disobedience to one is infidelity to all.”
I btillevc l have In the feregoing remark* and ex
tracts from speeches heretofore delivered, covered nil
tho ground of imputation against me, including the
proceeding* of the Baltimore Convention of 1852,
which contained nothing of importance not asserted
in previous Conventions except, an endorsement of
the compromise measures as a settlement ofthe sla
very question, nnd a deprecation of all future agita
tion of it “ hero or elsewnere.” In these proceedings
I expressed at the first meeting held in this city to
rntily them, my cordial concurrence; and I was, du
ring tlie greater part of the lute canvass for the Pres
idency, in tho field in this and other States.
It is witli great regret that I havo, for the first time
in my lile, felt constrained to vindicate myself from
the imputation of sentiments I have never entertain
ed or uttered. I hud heard, previously to the receipt
of your favor, that I was assailed by whig speakers in
tho South as an abolitionist; nnd I was willing to
leavo^ny vindication to time and ovents as the best
corrector* of ull such misrepresentation and error.—
But when told by yon that they were used as instru
ments ot assault upon the President and the Democ
racy of Georgia, I felt that no personal consideration
should induce me to Remain silent. In connexion
with the subject, I deem it due to myself to Bay, that
liefore my letter to you of tlie 3Iat ult., was written,
I had expressed to the President a desire to be reliev
ed. as soon as the public convenience would permit,
from tlie office I now hold—an office which nothing
but the hope of being useful to the Democratic cause
in this State, would have induced me to accept—and
that I am not, and have never been, by any act of my
own, a candidate for any other.
I am, dear sir, very respectfully yours,
John A. Dix.
