But, now llnit these “ feelers” hare been I ,brown out by the great head of the “Constitu [ rf„n»li«t«," we may expect to hear the whole t plan divulged in a short time. We are to have i High Protective Tariff, for one, if the “Unian” ■ party can force its Whig satellites into power— -1 and perhaps, we shall have an intimation of the I "fraud and abuses ’ in our paper system, and, of ■ roar**, there must needs be a National Pant, lo correct them ! What say you. Union Demo- Btrals, do you fancy these measures ? If so, re.

You may, indeed, name on* who is opposed to any further agitation upon the subject, but when the time comes to I use hi* influence and his Executive approval, si will see what hi* opinions are in relation to ihe all-engrossing question of Southern Rights If the Editor likes a “narrowly contracted sec tional policy” for the exclusive use of the North, »« know many of his party who will disagree . with him—if he disiikes a course of policy, L Southern in its tendency, and purely defensire lis designs, we are not at a loss upon which ode to recognize hi in. We do not desire a dissolution of the Union to long as the Constitution of the Confederacy ii considered and obeyed as the supreme law of the lard, but when we are no longer able to : maintain our rights in the Union, we advocate i the first and strongest ofal* rights, the privilege to get out of the Union. Perhaps the Union will point to Mr. 1 ill mo nr. ii “sound and conservative.” He may he so, according to the principles which the Union relishes, but we are not disposed to take blank insertion* by hi* purlizati friends, in contra distinction to the acts of his private and official | life. Notwithstanding, we believe lie is as “conservative" as the Union's especial favorite lir the next Presidency, Mr. Clay. Either of them would be ns potent an instrument in the hands ofthe Free Soilers, is the Abolitionists or the Union could wish for. Should* t wondkk —The Griffin Union says tuut • owing to the great crowd at Washington, Congress being in session, and every boarding house full of members or visiters, and the cun lequent scarcity of accommodations for others, it has been thought best to postpone the proposed l nion Convention.” Very likely, it “A«j been thoeght best to postpone this Convention, but not for the vapory reason given above, but ra ther because certain “leaders” would not agree in such amalgamation, and because the people have no faith in the movement. The Game CoMMESCEn.— V Bill has been introduced in the New York Legislature “to prevent the removal of fren citizens from the State, except for crime.” This is understood to be an attempt at nullifying the Fugitive Law. lit the I’ennsylvaoia Legislature, also, “n hill lias already been introduced for the repeal of the Fugitive Slave Law.'* Killed bv a Neoro—Mr. Chester, City Recorder of .Memphis, Tenn , was shot by a ne gro on the 3d insl , and died in a few minutes. The negro presented some free papers which Mr. C. pronounced a forgery, and ns he turned to speak to a bystander, the negro shot him through the head with a double barrelled pistol. The enraged populace immediately hung the murderer on the nearest tree. Forrest and Wii.i.i*.—These worthies have hid another fracas in New York. Forrest met Willis in Broadway, and called him an “infer nal scoundrel, liar, and coward !” and again in the evening he met him at the Theatre, and re peated h s abuse. Mr. WiLtts thereupon pub lished a card, insinuating that the desire of the plaintiffs in the divorce case now pending, that Mr. F. should keep out of the Penitentiary, alone prevented Mr. VVtl.Lis from sending him j there. Forrest replied by saying that no one of his family had ever been e condemned felon, which assertion Mr. Willis could not make. The Knocks:its aoain.—Mr. C , a daguer rian artist in New York, was recently informed by the spirit of his deceased mother, that it was his imperative duty to take two pictures of Mr. Kt'NnK;Ri.AND's daughters, who were the opera tors upon the oe.caaion, one of the likenesses to the presented to the ladies, the other to be hung up in his room. The artist complied ! Another of the ‘•spirits” requested Mr. 8., who was present, to pay the hackman for bringing : Air. Sunderland and his two duuglitcrs to give j the artist an opportunity ofcommunicating with ! the other world. Mr 8., however, having no change with him, refused to pay the bill, unless the “spirit” would tell him where to find the mo- j ney, which it would net do. Mr. S. said he had | no understanding with the “spirits”—not he ! I O’ Messrs. Murdick &, Townsend are getting Along very well on their portion of the Nash ville & Chattanooga Rond We understand that they have about 400 hands, and that their estimate for last month was upwards of $4,000 This is pretty good considering the weather, and the fact that they had to organize thci r forces, and to clean off several of tho sections.— r '^cf teneofa Gazette T'fac Compromisers. It is really amusing to see the efforts ofthe com. , binalionisls to hold on to ths incongruous mass oftnen that they have assembled under the invi ting cognomen of the “Constitutional Union i ar.y. Ot all the “billing and cooing” that hus ever graced the facile Federalists, this is the most energetic and life most desperate. After marshalling up a hosyalinost ns numerous as the army ofthe self-con fluent Xerxes, and drum hi iny them into service, tfhe ranks are broken, and captains, corporaly, and privates are deserting The laurels of uftnry have scarcely hound “the heads of the trmmphant,” before a general crash is heard in llm vicinity of the ponderous “plat form,” and Jp ! a “family quarrel" has upset the beautiful fabric ! It is reUTted of Alexander the Great, that he left his unprovided for, having been brouglJnio an untimely end by his debauchery. ImtWliately after this event, his general* and lieutenants, not being able to settle upon a suc cessor to the Macedonian monarch, fell to quar relling and contending for the supremacy,—and while thus engaged, the several provinces de dared their independence of them all. Just so, Alexander, of Georgia, having de parted for Washington, without doing the re quisite thinking for his mighty host of “Consti. tutional Union” dominions, they have gotten themselves into a “fine kettle of fish” at home. Afraid to avow their purposes as to the admin istration of the Government, they only reply “lnion ! “Union ! ! ’ to all the interrogatories presented by the people. This studied evasion is well understood by the inquirers, and, like sensible men. they are preparing to side with the party whose principles are their recommen dations— whose measures are their certificates of acceptability. The experience of the Albany Patriot is con clusive in this regard, as to the designs of the I artv. borne lime ago the Editor pro pounded a very fair and liberal question to the members of that organization, which was an. swered (?) by the Journal t,-Messenger of this city, in the following adroit style : “Our cotemporary of the Albany Patriot wish es to know what position the Constitutional Union party of Georgia proposes to occupy in regard to the tririfl and other old party- issues.— Having conversed extensively with menofboih the old parties, during the late Convention, we are enabled to answer, tbat it is the fixed deter (lunation of those who are engaged in the organ ization in question, to strive for the preservation and perpetuity of ihn Union, strictly upon Con stitutional principles, and the principles recog nized in ill s lute compromise. In doing this, it is their purpose to forget all old party distinctions and issues as far ns possi ble. Should those issues, however, come up in Congress, or elsewhere, they will lie adjusted in a spirit of Compromise, and muiual concession The result of this policy will he to divide the whole country into three parties, viz: the Na i nnl Union Parly—the Abolition Party, and llie Disunion Parly. Whether the two latter will have any other affinity for each other than iheir mutual-efforts, to excite angry feelings and promote ultimate dissolution remains to he seen ’* To this ambiguous definition of principles,the Patriot, in its i-sue of the ) Ith inst., is not at all ri conciled, (ml wishes to know what is to he included under the head of “Consti miumil' principlas and sn\ s : •‘from this answer, as well as from indira lions in other quarters, we judge, that a Parly or an association which was formed for a speci' fie object, lo preserve the Union when ils disso. lulion should he threatened—on which subject there may be u perfect unanimity of print ipl,. and purpose—is intended to bo used lor objects which have no connection with ils original purpose, and about which persons composing it di eras widely as it is possible to conceive If they in end to take part in the conduct of the policy o ? the Government aside from toe speci. sic object of their organization, and are to be governed “strictly upon constitutional princi. pics,” we claim to know what thev understand as “constitutional,” with reference to that poli. cy. Is it constitutional for Congress to make appropriations for internal improvements which arc not necessary to carry into eflect some grant ed power? If tariffs or taxes are made unequal for the purpose of protecting one or more classes of industry, whilst others are not thus protected, is that acting strict y upon cons.ituiiounl prin ciples ? “We that! always he ready to fofget all party distinctions w hich do not result from a difference in principle; but we can make no compromise which involves a surrender of conscientious conviction of duly. We can never subscribe to the Federal policy of Mr. Fillmore, which is now being advocated hv Mr. Clay, Mr Benton, and other Federal Union men in Congress.— If they are the exponents of the policy of the National Union Party, we do not belong to it Should the question of Union or Disunion arise, we should again advocate measures for the pro. tuctionofour rights in the Union under the Constitution. As concerns the policy of the Government wc are, what we have ever been, a Democrat.” Now, we should like to know what kind or “compromise” could be made between tho prin. ciplcs of Democracy and those of Whiggery ? About such ns water and oil make when brought into collision. They never can go hand in-hand Freo Trade and a High Tariffaro two extremes that cannot be made to meet, yet we are told that the two Parlies will adopt their measures in mutual concession —that is, if we understand the term, as applied recently to the South, Democrats are to give up all, and the Whigs to take all. This policy will bo found of very little use to the originators of it, for the scheme is too thread bare to resist tho thrusts of such piercing truths as have been and are aimed at it by the free-thinkers among the people U. S. Senat«>h».—The Hon. T. H. Benton has been re.efeetod from Missouri; J.

It we are to credit the patriotic assertions the “Constitutional” trumpeters, the American Republic is “a gone case.” They have told us time and again that the only hope of the coun try was in the formation of a “National Union Party." Now, it appears no such Party r a n be made, for the "knowing ones” at Washington will nni permit the National Convention to be held. The Georgia Delegates stand in a very ludicrous position about this time ! We should like to know what mill become Ut these self ap- ■ pointed guardians ot the public safety ? Tliev must “acquiesce,’’ however, for resistance is not found in their vocabulary. It is a pity that the country should be ruined in such a summary manner by the “patriots."— Such a glorious combination of all parties and creeds, should not have been suffered to ex plodo from “spontaneous combustion.” But so it is. The Whig Party is dead ; and the New Party has miscarried. What next ? Central Railroad.— The Savannah Repub lican commenting upon the improved condition and prospoets of this Road, adds : “If the Cen tral Road produces such resuits in the section of country between this place and Macon, and at this point, what will be “ihe tale to be told," when the Waynesboro Road is completed to Augusta—wh.-n the Milledgeville A. Enlonton Branch is opened—when the connection is formed at Macon—when the South-Western j Rond is completed to the Chuttahochee—when the branch to Columbus is finished—when the Connection is made at Chattunnoogn and Dalton with the Tennessee improvements—and when the teeming valley of the .Mississippi and the far West arc penetrated ?

It gives us pleasure to state in this connection the citizens of Savannah have subseiihed upwards often thousand dollars to the Milledgeville <& Ealonton Railroad. This Road which connects with the Gordon &. Milledgeville Road at the latter place, penetrates the heart of the State, and cannot fail to have a beneficial effect upon the business of the Central Road and of this city. At a meeting of the Stockholders on the 6th inst., 12,03*2 shares were represented. The President of the Company, the Mayor, Messrs. Porter, Fat, Anderson, Screven, Wadlt and Reynolds were appointed a Committee to consider the condition of the Muscogte Compa ny—the cost and time of construction of 21 miles of the Muscogee road from Fort Vallley to a point 50 miles east of Columbus, and the best plan ofruisiug the funds necessary for building -aid 21 miles. It was alto resolved to considrr ofadding $1,000,000 to the Capital stock of the Company to meet the outlay required for en largement of Depots, the crossing of the Oeinul gee river, re-laying the upper part of lire road And that it was finally resolved, that these matters he referred to u special meeting of he stockholders, which is called fur the first Wednesday in March next.” The Girard Railroad \V« have received the Report of a Preliminary Survey for the Girard Railroad. Tho Survey was executed by a parly of Engineers, who commenced their la bors at Girard, Ala., opposite Columbin, Gn.,on the 12th of April and reached the waters of Mo bite ay on the 23d of July last, a distance of 237 miles. As this Road is destined to f. rm an important link on the great line from the North to 'New Orleans, passing through this city, we give a few extracts from the Report, which will be read witli interest. “Under existing arrangements, a traveller leaving Mobile on Sunday,rt 5 o'clock* P M.. re .'lies Augusta, G i., on the fnllowing'*Friday, at 3 A M. Upon the completion of the Railroad between Montgomery and Atlanta, lie would be able to reach Augusta on Thursday at 6 A.

Whc. the upper route is completed, then it vvill j consume three davs and a half, in making the journey from Mobile to Augusta. By the Girard Railroad and connecting routes now in course of construction, the same journey can be performed in one day and a half, which shows h difference in favor of the lower route of two entire days, n difference which cannot bo dimin ished unless the Railroad from Montgomery to West Point should make a connection with the Girard Railroad, and even in that event the lower line, from the directness of its course, must retain great advantage in time and distance i over the circuitous route in Georgia, by which the mail is now conveyed.

The Senate was called to order by Lieut. Gov. Church, und ihe liuuse was organized by eluding .Mr. U. J. Raymond Speaker Air. Raymond is known us one of thu editors ot the New Vork Courier 4- Enquirer, a nd as tlie author of alxiluioti resolution* p.issod at tlie 1 1st .session ol tbe New York Legislature.” 1 lie N Y.

The Governor, however, doe* not believe that slavery will ever go into tlie new territory of New- Mexico or l tali. That Slavery ought not to be extended over t ree 1 crrtlory, t.ie Governor tells ns, was always u strong conviction with the people of tbe North ern dlules. And that Il ls so, at this duy ,is no reason, he thinks, why other Slates should be uiiended. As to a dissolution of tlie Union, Gov.

Nevertheless, lie looks upon such a slep ms one pregnant wilh the dnesl calamity that could happen to mankind. Objectiiuiable as may be tlie Fugitive Slave Law, 10 many of us, the Governor say*, it is nevertheless tlie para mount law of die land, and mum ho enforced.— The dissatisfaction which this Bill has created in some parts ot the Northern Stutes, is also en larged upon.

There is a natural joy felt ut the admission of California us a free isiulo, and the organization of .New Mexico und Uiuh as practically free territories, und in u manner which will prevent “ihe introduction ofslav ery but when the Southern view of tlie question is slated, the Governor hulls and hesuute*. Ho does nut condemn in direct terms, but in the in direct manner of calling attention to the dissat isfablion excited in many portions of the Coun try. He appeals to the Gibson casein Fhtladil. phia, and condescends to cite the gross abuse of a law (as if the best laws were not abused) with out citing one of the mitigating circumstances attending the case referred to if it was neces sary to refer to this case at all, it seems to us it might have been mentioned that Gibsnu was nut only returned a freeman, but that steps were taken by order of the Judge, subsequent to Gib son’s sentence to make sure that, il not a slave the claimant should not be put in possession of tlie person thus wrongfully claimed. Nor is anything said ul’tlic statutory provisions in ilia Southern States, to protect the liberties of all (non against whom fraudulent claims may exist. “Nor do we like the sectional manner in which the Governor arraigns 11 portion of the South. Mr. Hunt sees with “profound surprise and regret, that any portion of the people of tliu Southern Stales’’ are dissatisfied wilh the terms ot settlement filially agreed upon by Congress. Wherefore, since he himself is satisfied only wi.li these measures in which the North is gain er, or of which we may say they are neutralized, as in the Texas Boundary Bill, while the only Southern measure is discussed in a manner which shows an obvious enmity to its provisions? There are opinions prevalent at the 80nth with which we have no sort of sympathy, and which, il attempted to be put in practice, we should op pose as long as we could speak or had the. pow er of resistance; but is it tbe fair nnd manly eotirse for the Chief Magistrate of a great com monwealth like this, at a moment of sectional irritations like (lie prrginl, with the North infi nitely the gainer in the settlement of vexed question* of public policy, either to take sides against the only measure gained bv the South, or to speak of Southern men alone, as “finding an occasion for the continuance of si rtioruil jealolisy,’ ’ or “a supposed necessity for nurturing the spirit of disunion?” If we ofthe North were all pure men; if there was no fanaticism in our midst, no spirit of discord or disunion, no hostility to Ihe laws of the land,or the Constitu tion ofthe country, no a’tempt made to degrade our brethren of the Sooth, no false prejudice* or had passions here, wc might speak in something ot complaint; but vve can see wrong for a wrong, and outrage for an outrage in the North for all that has been done at the South, and il is blind* ness not to see it, and bigotry or something worse not 'O confess it.’ Aloscmknt to Calhoun—The Governor o South Carolina, in a message to the I*egislature, recommended that a monument to the memory of John C. Calhoun be built by the State —one worthy of hi* exulted reputation and of the en. during gratitude of tho people. He sugges's that the 4 acre* in front of the State House be pur chased at a fair valuation, that a monument to re ceive his remain* he erected in the centre, and that the grounds be afterwards planted with shrubery and converted into a public walk. M’e hope that the recommendation may be carried out. Important Dkcimox.—'Flic Washington U nion give* the following brief outlines of the point* determined by a recent decision of the Supreme Court of the United States “It was n case instituted in ouo nf the Ken* lucky Courts, at Louisville, to recover the value of three slaves, alleged to have been taken away by a steamboat from the owner, living in Kentucky. The two points of defence noticed by thqCottrt, (Mr. Chief Justice Taney deliver ed rhe opinion,) as we caught them from the reading of it were—l, that the ordinance of 1787, establishing a Government for the North* U'estern Territory, so far prohibited the exist* cnee of slavery ns to furnish s’defence in the case; and 2, that if these negroes were slaves before, their owner hail, in faet, liberated them voluntarily into Ohio (o perform as musicians, and could not sue for their recovery, or for their value. “'Pile Court below decided in favor nf the plaintiff, and the Supreme Court sustained the derision. The court held that the ordinance of 1787 was repented by tbe adoption of the feder al constitution, and ceased to be of force from that event, so far ns it was changed thereby; and, further, it held that the question of slavery, nnd the rights respectively ofthe owner and the slaves, was probably cognizable by the State court of Kentucky, under Iter laws, and that i! would not review or disturb its decision. Three of the judges, as vve stated, dissented, bn* only on the ground that the ordinance of 1787 was not repealed by the adoption nf the constitution *0 absolutely as the Chief Justice in his opinion had declared. On the subject of slavery and tho regulation thereof, none of them expressed any dissatisfaction with the view* ofthe majority of the court.
