GEORGIAN & JOURNAL SATURDAY NORNIXO, WOTS 7. f Public Meeting Kb the Morning xVetet of yetterday appears a call fbr a public meeting or the citizens of Savannah to ezpreaa their approval of the cfcMttMflMnt of Sumner. We need hardly my that ire regret this call, and sincerely hope the propoaed meeting will not be held. As we hare repeatedly asserted, the difficulty between the MaamchoseUs Senator and the South Caro lina Representative was a personal affair. As such thiy should be left to settle It. If Judge Batter and Mr. Brooks' constituents see fit to ezpiem their approval of the attack made in tktir behalf, as they have already done, we have no objection. But surely the people of Geor gia, to whom Mr. Brooks is not answerable, and from whom ho expect* nothing ot the kind, are not called upon to hold public meetings to endorse bis course. We altogether mistake his character, and should Judge very differently of his act, if Mr. Brooks, In meeting the imperious necessity which seemed to be placed upon him, was prompted by a desire of public applause. The moat that be expected, and all that he probably claims, Is thst in this violation of the laws, his act may be tolerated not applauded, excused not commended, on the grounds of bis over powering provocation. He, doubtless, regarded the occasion as a misfortune to be deplored not as an opportunity for distinction to be coveted. But we pass to far higher considerations, for which we earnestly a*k the consideration of our readers. The idea of making the “Sumner Out. rage” the leading issue in the approaching Pre sidential campaign, is a device of the Black Republicans. It Is a trap which they have adroitly set for the South, and especially for Northern supporters of Southern right*. Ut us not be caught in it—above an. let us not force oar Northern friends Into it. Shall we allow these enemies of their country, after once taking position, to change the field of battle and select ground which gives them every advantage? Weeks and mouths since, the material unu* In the controversy between the foes and friends of the Union and the Constitu tion were made up. These issues, tendered on the one side, acccepted on the other, as stated in the Senate by Judge Douglas—(a statement acquired in by Seward and Wade) were: 1. To admit no more .-‘lave States into the Union: 2. To repeal the fugitive slave law : 3. To abolish the slave trade lietween the States: 4. To prohibit slavery in the District of Co lumbia : 5. To restore the prohibition to Kansas and Nebraska; and 6. To acquire no more territory unless slavery be first prohibited. On these issues the skirmishes, preliminary to the grand presidential battle, were fought. The result in all the Northern States in which elections lately occurred was unfavorable to the enemy. Three weeks since they were hopeless. The hand writing foretelling their doom iu No vember was palpable on the wall. In the midst of their despair occurs the assault of Brooks upon Sumner, an assault made iu the Senato chamber, on u Senator while seated, for words spoken in debate. Instantly the hope* of our foes are revived. Bunshine breaks through their clouded pros pects. The word goes forth from Washington, literally with lightening speed, to every city, town and hamlet in the North to holt] public meetings and denounce the alleged outrage, as an attack up';- ft axiom of speech. The real and vital questions upon which defeat stood staring the enemies of their country in the face, are to be ignored or kept iu the back ground. A purely personal affair which may he used to inflame the prejudices, and misguide the judgments of the Northern people is to be made, ' if possible, the great issue. But can this be done? Yet, if for every meeting held in one section to denounce the act of Mr. Brooks another .shall be Held in the other section to appluud it. Shall we be guilty of this folly? Shall we help the black republicanit to keep up the ex citement until election day ? Shall we furnish fuel for the Are now blazing throughont the North, hut which unless fed from the South must die out in a few weeks. ? We speak to all—hut especially to Democrats Don't let us full into the ambush of our ene mies. It is not enough that we carry the South ern State*. We must have Northern States, or oar party Is undone, and with it, as we most truly believe, the Confederacy. Death of Juixjk Sheftalj..—We hove bare ly time to announce the dentil of the Hon.

Colquitt con tains extensive tracts of most ’excellent farming hind, cxhauatlnss forests, line pas turage, and a climate unsurpassed for health by any section of Georgia or the Union.

The conclusion to which the majority came, witi. their resolutions for the expulsion of Brooks and the censure of Edmun- son and Keitt, we have already given. They dodge altogether the question whether any breach of privilege had keen committed, and the power of the House to punish. From their statement of facts we make the following ex tract, disclosing some circumstances not before known to us. The testimony discloses tho fol lowing facts: On Monday and Tuesday, the 19th aud 20tb days of May, I860, Mr. Sumner delivered a speech iu tho Senate, in reply to a Senator from 8outh Carolina, (Mr. Butler) and other Sena tors, an authenticated copy of which is appen ded to the accompanying, testimony, aud forms a part of this report. * .It appears that, as early us Tuesday, i<etore the speech was concluded*, Mr. Brook took ex ception to tho remarks of the Senator; and that on Wednesday morning, after tho delivery o B the speech, lie declared to Mr. Edmondson, ol the House, by whom lie was casimlly met, in the Capital grouuds, a short time before the meeting of the two Houses, that he had deter mined to punish Mr. Sumner, unless he made an ample opology for the language he had uttered in his speech, and expressed a desire that Mr. Edmumlson should t>e present ns witness to the transaction ; that thereupon took a seat ueur the walk leading from Pennsylvania avenue to the Capitol, and there remained some flttcen minutes, awaiting the approach of Mr. Suinuer; and he not making his appearance, they then proceeded to the Capitol. On Thursday morniug lie was again casually met by Mr. Edmundson at the western entrance of the Capitol grounds, on the Pennsylvania avenue which commund* a view of all the ap proaches to the Capitol from that portion of the city in which Mr. Sumner resides. Here Mr. Brooks informed Mr. Edmumlson that lie was on the lookout for Mr. Sumner, aud again de- declared his purpose to resent the language ol Mr. Sumner's speech : and after remaining for u short period. Mr. Sumner not approaching the two again proceeded to the Capitol. The minority report is signed by Gov. Cobb i>( Georgia,anil Mr. Greeuwood; of Alabama. It is a clear and entirely conclusive argument on the poiuts involved—too long tor our space or we would gladly publish the whole, rather than impair its force by extracts .which do less than justice to Its author’s reasoning. After summing up the facts the minority say: The question presented for our consideration upon this state of facts is : Do these faats in volve a breach of the privileges of the Senate, or of the house, or ofany member thereof, over which the House can take any remedial juris diction, or for which it can inflict any punish ment? and, if so, what course it becomes the House to pursue in reference to the mut ter ? Our first inquiry is : what are the privileges of the Senate, and of the House . w here are they to be found? Oars U a Government ot delegated power. The Constitution picsonbtyj the Duties of the executive,legislative, aud judl- cial departments of the Government. It will not l>c questioned by any one that neither these three departments combined, nor any ouo ot them alone, can exercise any power which is not derived from the Constitution. Vo hold that the privileges of the Senate aud of the House must be looked for in the snnio instru ment, ami that none exist except those which urc expressly declared in the Constitution, or set forth in some law passed in pursuance there of, or some rules adopted under the authority ot the same. It would tie strangejudeed if the framers of thtfCoustitution should have denied to ail the Dcparments of the Government collco tively as well as to each individually, tho ex_ erciseof any other then the powers expressly delegated to them, nnd yet should have left to the two Houses, the right to claim nnd exercise privileges independent of the grants of the Coastitution. . ,, ... Congress can pass no law subjeetingun) cm- zeu to punishment, unless it shall be in pursu ance of a power delegated by the Constitution ; nan the Executive exercise any authority, unless it he derived from the sanio source. It, however, we are permitted to look for the pri vileges of the Senate and of the House to some other quarter than to tho Constitution, it would present the strange anomaly of denying to the two bodies in their legislative capacity the exer cise of inherent or inferential powers, affecting the liberty oi the citizen, and yet granting to either one, in its separate position, the exercise of such a power. It would seem necessary only to state the proposition, aud that its bare state ment would carry with it its own rclutation. It is claimed tliat the Seuute and House eaeli possess the inherent right to declare what its privileges are, and to punish for the violation of them. If this doctrine be true, then the House has the power to declare that an act com mitted to-day, whicli is in violation of no provi sion of the Constitution, no law of the land, no rule of the House, and which is therefore, so far as the citizen may be informed, inuoccnt in it self, a violation and a breach of Its privileges, and to inflict punishment for the same. Tho admission of such a right would consti tute cither House of Congress it legislative, judi cial, and an executive power combined ; having tho power or a Legislature to pass the law, the power of a judge to expound it, and the power to execute it. A more perfect despotism never has anil never can exist thau—if such he the fact—does exist in either branch of Congress. To appreciate properly the enormity of this power anil the abuse to which its exercise might lead, it is only necessary to add, that from the very nature of the case this luw.thus made, and thus enforced, is an ex pout facto law, directly violative of the letter of the Constitution and repugnunt to the whole spirit of our American nstltutions. In answer to reasonings drawn from the his tory of the British Parliament, the minority de ny most emphatically that the powers of Par liament, claimed to be “omnipotent,” have been given to'tho two Houses of Congress. They show by Parliamentary precedent Hint— The British Parliament, under the doctrine of privilege, exercised an unlimited power of lino and imprisonment, and in some of the cases cited have gone so far as to banish the citizen from the realm. In other cases they have caused private dwellings to he searched, and without other authority of law than that exercised by virtue of their assumed privilege, have seized mid destroyed the property of the citizen. Will it lie contended that such powers can iie exercised by either House of Congress ? if Congress derive its privileges from the par liamentary law, mid that parliamentary law recognizes no other restraint, except the wis dom and the justieo of those who exercise the power, then it is for each House of Congress at the time of Hie commission of any act which It may think proper to regard as a violation of its privileges, so to determine, to declare that such act is u violation of its privileges, ami to inflict such punishment as it iu its discretion may determine upon. To this extent must the doctrine he carried, if we look to that source at all to ascertain the privileges of either House of Cougress. Tho whole pariinmentary Jaw on. the subject must either he repudiated or adopt ed. If wo adopt it, we huve then existing in our country a body of men authorized, after the commission of an act, to' declare that act a vio lation of congressional privilege, fulniiimle a punishment for it, nnd execute the same; though, at the time the act was committed, neither the person committing it, nor the mem bers of the body themselves, entertained the idea that, its commission would be attended with such results. So monstrous ii doctrine, in our judgment , cannot and ought not to he main- tained. They add however, that not even the British PmJJmncwt ever stretched its power* to the ex tent. to which the majority urge Congress to go in asking that it. shall punish Keitt and Edmund- son for not turning informers when they learned that Brooks contemplated an attack on Suumer. Having disposed of tills view of the case, they say: Wo now proceed to inquire, what privilege of the Senate, or of tho House, or of any member, him been violated, for, which this House lias authority to umilsh, us disclosed lit the lacta willow we have set forth iu the commencement of this report: The Unit allegation Is, Hint the privilege of Mr. Sumner lms been violated in this: tliat lie lias licen qucstlined for the delivery of a speech In tho Somite, in violation of that provision ol the Constitution which declares that “for any speech or delude in either House they shall not be qliesMoned in nny other place.” This provi sion oft no Constitution was evidently Intended to protect members of Congress from such legal liability tw they might incur for words spoken in debate iu their respective Houses. In support of this view, they quote from Judge Story as tollowa, "Thenext great and vital privilege Uithi freedom of speech and debate, irithoat which all other privileges would be comparative!/ unimportant or Ineffectual. This privilege, u derived from the practice of the British Pari la ment. But this privilege 1* strictly confined to things done in toe course of parliamentary pro ceeding*, and does not cover things done be yond the place and limits of duty. Therefore, although a speech delivered In the House ot Commons la privileged, and the member cannot be questioned respecting it elsewhere, yet, If he publishes his speech, and it contains libelous matter, he la liable to an action and prosecution therefor, aa in common cases of libel. "Andthe same principles seem applicable to the privilege of debate and speech In Con gress. No min ought to hive a right to de fame others, under the color of the performance of the duties of his office. And If he does so in the actual discharge of his duties in Congress, that furnislie* no reason tfby he should be enabled, through the medium of the press, to destroy the reputation nnd invade the peace of other citizen*, it is neither within the scope of his public duty, nor in furtherance of public right* or public policy. Every citizen has good right to be protected by the laws from raalignaut scandal, and false charges tlnd de famatory imputations, as a member of Congress lins to utter them in his seat. If it were other wise, a man’s character might be taken away without tho possibility of redress, either ly the malice, or indiscretion, or over-weenlug sell conceit of a member of Congress. Oue more extract will bring us to the con clusion to which the minority arrived : The only provision of the Constitution un der which the power can be exercised, on which the majority of ourlcommittee have reli ed, is the one already quoted, which declare* that: “Each House may determine the rules of it* proceedings, punish its metnltera for disorderly behavior .and,with the concurrence of two thirds expel a member.’’ “It is a question which has been much discussed, mid one which it is important to decide correctly. To what extent is the power given to the two House*, by this provision or the Constitution, to punish their members ? Taking the whole paragraph iu its connected sense, it seems to us that St lias reference to the House while in session, in the actual discharge of its constitutional duties. Tiie power of providing rules for its proceedings, it will lie seen, is coupled in the same sentence with the power to punisli its member* for disorderly behavior, and the power with the concurrence of two thirds, to expel a li.einlier. 1 f it had beem«mtemplated that the powers conferred in this provision were to be exercised to the extent now claimed for them, they would hardly have been placed in such intimate connection with the simple power of providing rules for the proceedings of the two Houses. We entertain no doubt that the whole of this provision looks to the session of the House, to the providing of rules for its proceed ings during its session; to punishing its mem, bers for such disorderly conduct as would inter rupt - its session; and, where that conduct amount ed to such an outrage upon the rules and pro prieties of the House as would justify It, to ex pel the member. SH CONCLUSION*. It will be seen, from the view which we have taken of the Constitution on this subject, that we do not dffer from the majority of the commit tee upon the fact that the two Houses should have the power to pcotect themselves in their deliberations, and in the discharge of all their constitutional duties. We differ only as to the source from which that power is derived, aud the mode in which it is to be exercis ed. Those who claim for Cougress these peculiar privileges look to parliamentary law, British precedents, and the necessity of the cos), for the authority. We, on the con trary, look to the Constitution of the conn- try for tho authority, aud to the laws passed iu pursuance thereof for the mode and manner of Its enforcement; and it is for the House to say whether it will rest its claim to privileges upon the one or the other of these sources of S ower. Holding, as we do, that neither House as any privileges exci pt thoso which are writ ten and declared either in tho Constitution or some law or. rule passed in pursuance thereof, and that the facts developed by the evidence shows no violation of any such written and recognized privileges, we recommend the adop tion of tho following resolution : Resolved, That this House lias no jurisdiction over the assault alleged to have been com mitted by the Hon. Preston S. Brooks, a mem ber or this House from the State of Soutli Caro lina, upon the Hon. Charles Sumner, a Sena tor from the State of Massachusetts; and therefore deem it improper to express any opin ion nu the subject. Howell Couii, Alfred B. Greenwood. “ The American Celt.”—The following com munication from the Washington Star, relates to an article already referred to once or twice in our columns, and erroneously attributed by the Rihmond Whig to tho Freeman's Journal: Mk, Editor : Your paper of Saturday, the ills tilt., contained an article beaded “advertisement,” with comments on D'Arcy McGee's harangue on the murder of Keating by Mr. Horbert. Mr. McGee is the editor of the Celt, a newspaper purporting to be duvoted to the Irish nnd Irish causo In this country. The Celt Is not u religious paper, nor do I believe its editor possesses more than an ordluary share or that very rare gift. Bishop Hughes has tio more to do with the Celt newspaper tliau auy ot bet subscriber to that paper; nor ha* Mr. D’Arcy Mc Gee auy more influence over the intelligent Catho lics of this country tliati the editor of any other newspaper. Tho Know Nothing organ of this city aud kindred journals are now ready to endorse and copy from tho Celt articles written by Its oiliior en tirely ununtborizod by him as far ns naturalized cit izens are concerned iu this country.

No, Mr. McGee, keep cool; tho Irish will not follow you if you go to the Bind; Republicans.

Dkgatuk am, tiie Main Trunk.—A Vo <lo not know whether anything has yet. been subscribed in this county to tho Main Trunk road, but presume there urc but row of our wealthy planters who hare not determined to subscribe .something to it. Our people hnve been waiting tolcurn the action of the Brunswick Company before determining wind course to pursue. Their action being now fully known, we hope to see our planters come forward und sub scribe liberally to this grout Stato enter prise. One hundred and fifty thousand dollars id least should be subscribed by the citi zens of this county, nnd if the road should never be l.uiit they will have no money to pay out nnd nothing to lose by u liberal subscription—if the Company is organ ized mid Directors chosen, tliev ran use their influence in locating the road on the most unobjectionable route, mid their money will be profitably invested. The Main trunk roau can nnd should be built—tho dignity and importance of tiie Slide demand it; nnd though we should, through the obstinacy of Bruns wick, fail to get the road through our county, it will iiotjinjurn us, nnd our State prideund patriotic feelings should pre dominate over selfishness nnd illiberal principles. We unhesitatingly recommend u large subscription to this important Georgia work, nnd beliuvu every patriotic citizen of tho Slide should feel himself 'indivi dually interested in its success.

Never tins It boon our good for- tone to know olio who so fully combined in one character tho chivalry of tho past with the purity of later generations. Mr. Keating was, we relieve, tho earliest maimrocturer nrcolton ot the rising town of Mnuayunk, iu Ponnsyl- Catholic auixtay School Pfe Mr. Arrangements having been nude for a pto ntc for the children of tho Catholic Sunday School, the occasion was celebrated on Thurs day last. At an early hoar In tbo morning, the children and their teacher* attended service at the church of St. John the Baptist. Service being over, ebaat halt post eight a line wet formed in front of the church, under the direction of the superintendent, Mr. P.J* Suadlks. The teachers having been allotted their reepectlve placet, the procceelon moved up Drayton street to tho white Bluff Bond, tuning off at Lover 1 * L*ne,(“whst'eln a name?"—who knows, however, but that It suggested tome (outer thought on this oocaukm?)—through which they tripped with “lightsome heart and steady tread." to the line of the Albany and Gulf Bond. Here wus another turn off, hut the spirit in fused on their passage through Loeir’e lane, lost none of its wanted cheer, es the light that danced o'er each face, and the sounds of merry prattlioga from childhood's lips spoke of the happiness that reigned In that youthful group. We must not, however, lose light ofthe teachers' for they too formed part of the procession, though only ns guardians. To them belonged u part of the pleasures too, and most folly did they realize their share In witnessing the hup. pluess that pervaded their charge In their an ticlpatlon ol a pic nic In the woods. The smiles that played upon the lipsofyhutb, the zephyrs thnt funned the glad green foliage, and the warbling accents of nature's songsters while trilling their pu-ams of above, seemed to vie with each other in manifestations of grati tude,—nil presenting a picture calling forth the admiration ofthe beholder,and urging him to exclaim: “See how Uie tiny beameth brightly before us lllue Is the firmament, greeu Is the earth : Grief tiuth no voice in tbo universe chorus ; Nature is ringing with music nnd tnlrlli.** But we have “got off the track,” gentle read er, aud for which digression must claim your indulgence. Passing along the embankment of the railroad, they soon arrived at their place of rendezvous, the scene of the pic nic—a farm about a mile beyond the limits of the city known os " Teneyke’s.” The occupant had kindly granted tho use of his place for the occasion, and also assisted in the arrangements for the celebration. Here thejuvenile “way-worn trravellew”were greeted under gnariedoak* and shady groves, with every facility for childhood's gambols. Girls as well a* boys, each to their preferred amuse ment,were soon in the midst of hilarity, know* ing nought of restraint— “For youth no le*.« become* The light ami cureless livery that it wears, Than settled age bis sables, aud his weed Importing health andgruvoness.” “A queen!” "a queen!” it was suggested, must he chosen; and to tiie elective franchise, while yet there was freedom iu it, they went. The result was soon known, and Miss 8. F. de clared us the choseu sovereign. Tiie corona tion about to take place, the blushing and de lighted Miss was presented— “A lovely being, scarcely formed or moulded, A ro«ii with all its sweetest leaves yet folded.*' The choice of » liege lord devolved on her, and accordingly Master J. B. was soon near her side. At 11 o’clock lunch was provided, which being over, playing and dancing—music also, contributing to the entertainment—was resum ed, aud kept up in foil spirit until dinner was announced. Here was a pleasiug sight. The children forming In oj»en columns, the girls on one side nnd the hoys opposite. Down the centre passed the superintendent, followed by the royal group of “king, queen, maids of honor, pages" 4 Vc., which having passed through, the rear was closed in by the “sub. jecta” in couples, and with becoming “ pomp and circumstance” Huited to the occasion, made a formal visit to the six huge tables which were teeming witli luxuries to greet them. The “royal family" beiug appropriately seat ed, the others took their places at the hoard. It was not long before justice was done to the viands and to the comforts of each participant' Gallantry was here observed iu all its phases, aud juvenile wits seemed as sharp as the appe tites that kept pace with them. Dinner over, a change of programme took place. Speeches, declamations, and recitations, took the places of senps or swings, springing boards, sea-saws, hop-scotch, marbles, and fun in general. Of the latter item was one ofa novel nature to us. It was that ofa bag lace, some ten or a dozen tx>ys in bags tied round thei r waists were the contestants for a prize; the dis tance to be run some 40 yards. Here was jumping and tumblhig, gettiug up and try it again; at length the goal was reach, ed by a bright little fellow, amid shouts of laughter and huzzas from the spectators. The orphan boys under the patronage of Father Barry, we omitted to mention, were among tho guests of the Pic-nic.

The <&inmittee reported • platform ot resolutions • Tim pUti’uim, altar re-affirming .that of 1862, adverse tu the American party, stating that the Democracy "hould clearly delina their relation* thereto. Then follow resolution* stating, in substance, that tbo foundation ofthe Union har ing been built upon entire freedom in matter* of religion, with no respect to persons or regard to rank or place ofblrth, no party can justly be deemed national, constitutional or In accordance with jVmerican principles, which bases its ex* elusive organization upon religious opinions or accidental birth-place. Ital^o reiterates the de claration of former Conventions on the subject of slavery and the reserved rights of the States; and, to more distinctly meet the issue with a sectional purty^ubsisting exclusively on slavery agitation. Resolved, That tiie Democracy recognizes- aud adopt the principles contained in the or* g auic laws establishing the territories of Ne- raska and Kansas, as embodying the only sound and safe solution of the slavery question upon which tiie great nationul idea of the people of this country can repose iu its deter mined conservatism of union and non-interfer ence by Congiess with slavery in thcyiStates and territories, f hut by uniform application of tills Democratic principle, the organization of the territories, and the admission of new States with or without slavery, as the elect, the equal rights of the States will be preserved intact,the original compact- of the Constitution maintain ed inviolate, nnd the perpetuation and expan sion of the Uuion insured to its utmost capacity of embracing, iu peace and harmony, every future American State. Resolved, That we recognize the right of the people of all the territories, including Kansas and Nebm?feu, acting through tiie fairly ex pressed will ot the majority of actuul residents, and wheuever the number of their inhabitants j uslilies it, to form a constitution, with or with out do nc-slic slavery, and to be admitted into the Union upon terms of perfect equality with other States. Resolved, Tliat in view of the condition of the popular institutions of the old world and the dangerous tendencies of section al agitation, combined with an attempt to enforce civil nnd religions disabilities against the light of acquiring citizenship in our own laud, a high uud sacred duty bus devolved increased responsibility upon the Democratic party of this country, us the party of the Uniou, to uphold aud uiaiutuiu tiie rights of every Statu, and thereby the uuion of the States, and to sustain nnd advance among us constitution al liberty b.v continuing to resist all monopolies and exclusive legislation for the benelit ofa few at the expense of the nmny, mid by u vigilant adherence to these principles uud to the com promises of the constitution which are broad uml strong enough to embrace and uphold the Union as it. was, the Union id* it is, uml tiie Union us it shall be in the (all expresssion of the energies and capacities of th.> great progres sive people.

Resolved, That our geographical nnd po litical position in reference to other States of this continent, no less thau tiie interest of our commerce nnd the development of our growing power, requires that we hold sacred the princi ples involved in tho Monroe doctrine; their bearing and import should admit of no miscon struction and should be applied witli unbending rigidity. J. Resolved, Tliat a gieat highway of nature, ns well as the assent oi States most immediate ly interested in tne nmintainance, has been marked out for free communication between the Atlantic and Fuc.iiic oceans, and constitutes one of the most important udiime.uents reulized by the spirit of modern times and the uncon querable energy of our people ; that this result should be secured by tiiuily and efficient exer tion of the control which we have the right to claim over it, and no power on earth should lie suffered to clog its progress by nny interference with tiie relations winch it may suit our policy to establish with the governments of the States within whose dominions it lies; aud we can, under no circumstances, surrender our prepon derance in the adjustment of all questionsaris ing out of it 4.
