Blim authority, or will they respectfully decline the honor oonferred by a mere handful of their constituents ? We know not what these gentlemen may choose to do in such a dilemma, but do not hesitate to give it as our opinion that it will comport better with their future time and prospects, if they at once wash their hands of the whole matter and go into a “state of retiraev,” till time may kindly throw the mantle of oblivion over the incidents of 1850. If they ap pt ar at Nashville, they evidently do so without sufficient lo<*al authority from the people of the State, who should not. therefore, be held responsible for any of the acts of such delegates. tflio’s to blame ? —Not a few indications have al ready appeared, that the opponents of the Nashville Conven tion are to be charged with the evil effec ts arising out of the failure of the movement. One of these effects is the en couragement which the North will thereby have to believe that we area divided people, on the momentous question of Slavery. We do not apprehend that much capital can be made, at the north, out of so groat a delusion as this would be. We can tell the whole tribe of abolitionists that they “reckon without their host,’ ’ if they come to any such con clusion, on that point. But if it be so, that the north does take encouragement, therefrom, to make further aggressions, whose fault is it ? “Look before you leap” is a homely ad age but of most excellent moral The zealots, in the last Le gislature, and the mad caps, every where, should not liave sprung a mine until they had some knowledge of the effects . which were to follow—whether an explosion that would blow fanatics “sky high,” or merely a fizz in the pan. that Would sparkle in their own face's! Verily,then, on the orig inator* of the movement, and on them alone, should all the eousqcuenees reset, whether for good or evil. To them bo all the honor and all the dishonor of the experiment—we have noclaini to the first and will not allow the last to be attached, by others, to the skirts of our garments, Mr, Clin pell’s Letter, The last Georgia Telegraph contains a letter from the Hon. A. ll.Chappell, in reference to his position, on the Nashville Convention movement, and in explanation of the reason why the 3d-District Convention did not confirm his previous nomination by the Democratic Members of the Le gislature, as a delegate from this district, to Nashville. From a careful perusal of this letter, we come to the conclusion that Mr. Chappell declined the honor intended for him, be cause of his belief, that the people of the South were not suf ficiently awake to the importance of the subject. Indeed ; this is clearly avowed in the following paragraph from his epistle: “But although several Southern Legislatures, and among them that of Georgia, responded favorably to this call, yet it was too obvious that the people of the South as a mass, slumbered under it. The people of Gaorgiw too, and the people of the Third Congressional District slumbered under it. And there were elsewhere not a few who, under the in tlnenve .of a misconception of its object, and of the infinite diversity of human mind, viewed it with actual distrust and disfavor. This state of the public mind deprived the project- ; ed Convention, in my judgment, of all that high capacity 1 for usefulness to the country, the expectation of induced its call, and took away every motive that could have operated to make me willing to be one of its members.” The lion, gentleman, we think, did wisely, in thus sliding out of the position assigned him by his friends—but not so wisely in giving in his adhesion to the purposes of the Con vention. The day is not far distant in our opinion, when all those who have had any part or lot in the matter will be found calling, in vain, upon the rocks and mountains to cover them from the wrath of an indignant people ! All (tiunnion !——ll* no better reason can be assigned for the small vote polled atthe late election for delegates to the Nashville Convention, than the one assigned, to wit—the ab .srurr of opposition to the nominees, it would be better to say nothing. If the people had felt half as much interest ill the matter as they generally feel in the election of a bailiff, the case would certainly have been different. But here is a grand movement, having for its object, the salvation of the 1 State and the deliverance of the people tlienisclves from gal ling lKimlage, and the moral power of which was known to depend upon the zeal and unanimity manifested in its regard. ! almost completely palsied by the consideration that there was no opposition to the nominees ! “ Credat Jndttus npprlla !” Communication Mills Europe.— The N. y.

Bound Over. —At a session of the Magistrates’ Court, Justices Brown, Burch and Heed, on the bench, held yester day at the County Jail. Mrs. Nancy Foster and Mary Jane Foster, her daughter, were bound over in a penal bond of $l5O each, to appear before Bibb Superior Court in July next, to answer to the eliarge of aiding and abetting the escape of the prisoners confined in the jail aforesaid. Mm. loster, the son of Mrs. N. Foster charged with the same offence, but nothing appearing against him, he was discharg ed. The aiding and abetting consisted in furnishing Alexander Pearl one of the prisoners, with nitric acid and other materi als wherewith to break the bolts of the cells in which he and other prisoners, Thos. Smith and Brinkly Bishop wore con fined at night. By the use of these articles, they had suc ccodod in oomulinp; the bolts and getting access to a brick wall, through which they would soon have made their egress, had not day light revealed their, operations to the jailor, and prevented their escape. Pearl is confined on a charge of big amy—he having married Mary Jane Foster, while another wife was living. For this offence Mrs. Foster prosecutes and will not let this beauty of of a pearl out of the casket which the county has provided for the safe keeping of such precious jewels of humanity, until satisfaction be given her. Hence the present charge against Mrs. Foster and the sitting of the Court within the prison walls, for the accommodation of tlic principal witness, the aforesaid Pearl himself. W e anticipate some rich developcnients when the case comes on for trial, and will make due report of the sane, for the benefit of our readers.

New OinnibUS. —A splendid vehicle, of the Omnibus class, has recently been provided, by those enterprising gen tlemen, Messrs.

Let the new Omnibus and its worthy pro prietors then have a showing.

Southern Sentinel —This paper comes to us in a new dress, and makes quite a respectable appearance.

While’s Statistics of Georgia. A copy of this valuable work was handed us a few days since, by the respected author, and we hasten to give a brief notice of contents. The volume commences with a sketch of the Ge'dogy of Georgia, which is followed by a notice of the aboriginal inhabitants—situation, boundaries and extent of the State—its soil and productions, rivers, population and early settlement—arrival of the first colonists and progress of the same—history of the Yazoo Fraud—the political Go vernment, animal revenue and expenditures of the Common wealth —the Governors, Judiciary, Penal Code, Militia sys tem. &e.:—Education, with an enumeration of the several principal Institutions of the State and its benevolent Asy lu I s—Public buildings, Rail Roads, Canals and Churches, j together with an alphabetical statement of the situation, : boundaries, climate, diseases, minerals, population, resour ces, &c. &.<*., of*ach County in the State. All this follow ed by a Catalogue of the Fauna and Flora of Georgia, em bracing its mammals, birds, reptiles, fishes, insects, Crusta cea, shells and plants. Among the most interesting features of this work are the biographical sketches which the author has given of persons after whom the different Counties are named. TVe have I received much valuable information on this head and have no 1 doubt that most readers will find something in this depart ment, both novel and interesting. The whole work exhibits | much research on the part of the author, and although it is not a perfect description of the “Model State of the South,” in all its details, it is, nevertheless, a very clever approxima tion to the reality, and as such, should be in the hands of ev ery family in the commonwealth, as well as on the desk of every pupil. Asa school-book, we can commend it heartily to those Parents and Teachers who desire that the youth of the State should be well informed in all matters appertain ing to the place of their abode, in order to a just and patriot ic appreciation of the peculiar blessings which they, as its future rulers and people are permitted to enjoy.

F. W. Andrews, Editor and Proprietor, Who for five years past, had the charge of the Democrat, of Columbus: Ist. llis motto will be —“lndependent in all things, neutral in nothing.'’ This is indicative of the jwsition which the Editor designs to take in relation to men, princi ples and measures—a position above the influence of party or sect , and which will reserve to himself the largest liberty of speech and most unrestrained latitude of criticism upon all matters, moral, social anti political, which may pass in review before him, as a public Journalist. 2d. As the name imports, the Editor's aim will be to de velope the resources of Georgia and advance the interests of her people in the pathway of true greatness and prosperity. Under this head, the agricultural and miucral capabilities of the state—its commercial facilities—its varied industrial pur suits. and the educational enlightenment of every class of its citizens, will be embraced, as leading objects of concern ment. 3d. The “Georgia Citizen” will be the foe of monopoly and exclusive privilege, in their every phrase and feature, and the special friend of honest industry of head and hand.— While “ever)’ form of tyranny over the mind of man” will be strenuously opposed, the “Citizen*’ w.'l ever be .found en forcing the constitutional requirements of toleration towards every shade of opinion which may be entertained “for con science’ sake,’’ and defending the rights of the humblest from abuse or infringement. 4th.
