Mimor said, to play the agreeable with Miss Angelina,
Ho, in the most frank and candid manner, publicly
Blared that Thornton was the most fascinating,
man she ever saw.
H As time passed on Miss Lacy saw her betrothed but
Bom ; and when they did meet, he appeared to be
Koccupied in mind. He said he was harassed and
with business and politics; though occasionally
H threw off, for a short time, his abstracted, cool
Bmcanor, and appeared in his former character of the
lover. Miss Lacy,however, was no sentimeri-
Hl t love-sick girl, blinded by her passion for him to
she was betrothed. Gradually she became
JkxJ and reserved in her intercourse with Ihornton ;
■Kid it was she that now acted the part of a watchful
Rjjtrgus, Often when in her society did Thornton find
f j gs ©ye fixed upon his lac.' 1 with a cool, searching, and
J jjtiii mournful glance, which probed his very soul, and
■hade him turn away in evident embarrassment.
H The day of election finally arrived ; and the ladies,
did not generally feel a very deep interest in the
iesult of elections, save an anxiety to see a husband,
jver, or brother successful, wlu-n a nominee, were
mow deeply interested, from the fact that Judge Smith
ffjHrad promised, if his party were successful, to give a
j| Splendid party to the whole community, the night after
§|iie election. * The day passed with the usual amount
Hf cursing, drinking, fighting, and bravado; and when
18. votes were counted, it was announced that Thorn-
Hi)n was elected by an overwhelming majority, On
* Reaming the result, the crowd gave the usual quantity
PILf rin.r-'mrr cheers for the successful candidate, which,
Bad it been his opponent, they would just as freely
||Kujvc given, as cheers do not cost any thing but a little
fljwaste of extra breath. Thornton was immediately
EL,ught by Judge Smith, who urgently begged him to
■go to his house, and take a social supper of congratu-
Ejhtion; and he did so. Miss Lacy listened in vain for
■his footstep, wishing, hoping to hear him proclaim the
I triumph which others had borne to her ears, and in
ip which Elie felt a woman’s unselfish satisfaction. But
Ihe came not; and when she retired to her room, dis-
Iheartened and sorrowful, she saw the bright lights in
I the parlor at Judge Smith s, and she felt that he was
H there. Then her pride enabled her to determine upon
S<! a cool, unflinching course of conduct with one who,
■ she had bitterly learned, was lacking in that noble
I firmness and consistency which sl e bad believed him
K to possess in an eminent degree.
The following night the party assembled duly at
i Judge Smith’s house. There was the usual supply
M of false smiles, fulsome flattery, and deceitful words.
I Miss Lacy was attended by a young gentleman who
It had been wishing and fearing to propose to her for
B months. On entering the room she saw and coolly
B bowed to Thornton, who was seated by Miss Smith.
I Soon after her entrance she was requested to favor the
p company with a song. She immediately arose, and
■ attended by a gentleman, went to the piano. After
I idaying one or two pieces, by particular request she
I played a song which told of treachery, deceit, and
B slighted love. When she arose from the instrument,
I all conversation was bushed (strange to say; for when
E a lady is requested to plnv, conversation usually runs
Ha I higher than at any other time); and raising her eyes,
■ jslie saw Thornton standing near her, with his arms
I folded,and his eyes fixed on her face with an expression
I of anguish and contrition which povverfelly affected
I her. She, however, possessed that invaluable gilt
which enables one to conceal their thoughts, and pre
■j vent the movement of a muscle of the face, even when
I enduring the tortures of the chained Prometheus. Ac-
I cordi tglv, she gave him hack only a quick look of
I contempt; and then walking to a table where there
I were books and engravings, she turned over the leaves
I of an annual, as if deeply interested in its contents.
9 While standing there, a young lady of her acquaintance
■ came to her side, and enquired “if she had heard the
I news?’’ “ No,’’replied Miss Lacy,briefly. 11 Well,
I said her informer, “ Thornton and Miss Smith are
| engaged to be married ; and as soon as preparations
can be made, they are to have a great wedding. I
know it is true, for Miss Smith told me herself. I
thought once he was intending to address you ; but
Miss Smith’s golden charms cast us all into the shade.
While listening to the confirmation of her forebo-
I dings, although sick, crushed, and bowed down in
soul, with a pang bitterer than that of the death-agony,
Miss Lacy never changed countenance, but continued
| coolly turning over the leaves of the book she liad in
her hand ; and her reply was as cool and calm as if
she felt no emotion save a small degree ol surprise.

The follewing day Thornton received a small pack
age, .containing a miniature, a bundle of letters, a ring,
fce., with a small note, in which was written the follow
ing words:
“ I return you the miniature, &c., which I have had
in my-possession, and you will oblige me by sending
me those things I once gave you, when under the
influence of a foolish dream. You are free. May
jou be happy. Mary C. Lacy.”
Some three or four days from that time, Miss Lacy’s
uncle, Col. Grant, very unexpectedly arrived in L ,
bringing his niece the intelligence of the death of a
rich distant relative, who had bequeathed to him and
his neice, jointly, an independent fortune. Col. Grant
had come to carry his niece away from L , imme
diately. . lie found her sick, in bed, with a very severe
cold, as she said, and greatly altered from the blooming
girl of a year previous. But she immediately arose,
and with a great show of eagerness commenced prep
arations for her departure from L . The news
she had heard of her unexpected legacy made no
impression on her mind, save an unpleasant one.
What was wealth to her, who had lost all confidence
in one whom she had considered the noblest and best
of his sex ? (If ke had fallen before the temptation of
gold, where, in the wide, bleak world was there a man
of sufficient moral firmness to resist the allurements of
the Plutonian tempter?
Miss Lacy left, bearing away the love and good
wishes of all •, for she had won the hearts c’ the parents
by her kindness, patience, and successful labors with
the children.
Six weeks from the time of her departure, she
received a paper from an acquaintance in L ,
containing the following item, under the head of “Mar
riages
“ Married, in L , on the 18th inst., at the resi
dence of Judge Smith, the lion. Louis Thornton to
the wealthy ar.d accomplished Miss Angelina C.
Smith, daughter of the Judge. The happy pair left
immediately for a bridal tour. The editor returns
thanks for the loaf of cake which he received, and
wishes the newly wedded pair the felicity which they
deserve”.
We will now pass over some six months, and beg
the indulgent reader to pay a visit with us to the resi
dence of Col. Grant. In a luxuriously furnished
chamber, reclining upon a couch, and propped up with
isllows, we see a beautiful but etherial looking girl,
‘ler complexion is pure and pale, her face thin, and
tier large eyes have a spiritual expression, which at
once awes and fascinates the observer. In her hand
she holds a volume of Holy Writ. Her face wears
a soft, sweet expression, singularly and mournfully
blended with a look of woe and anguish. The invalid,
of course, is Miss Lacy. Her “ cold ” settled on her
lungs, and now she is in the last stages of a decline.
She knows that she must soon close her weary eyes on
earth, and rest her sorrowful heart in the grave ; and
she is happy that such is her Redeemer’s will. A
servant enters the room with a silver waiter, on which
there are two or three letters, which he presents to
her. She looks at the superscription of each ; and as
her eye glances over the last, her pale check is bril
liantly lighted wiih the vermi'dion hue of emo'ion.
After leaning back a moment, with closed eyes, she
tells the servant to retire, and then breaks the seal.
Let us read the document with her.
“ They tell me you are dying—that you are in a
consumption, having caught a cold, which has settled
on your lungs ; but they lie. It is I who has brought
yon to the confines of the tomb, where l would, hut
cannot join you. Oh, my God! that I, who loved
you as man seldom loves, should have been the despi
cable villain that I have, to murder the loveliest and
noblest being on earth! 1 weakly, meanly sold myself
for gold—l, who so prided myself upon my firmness
under temptation—my invincible energy and moral
courage. So far as [am concerned, I can bear the
fate which I have voluntarily brought upon myself,
though God knows I endure the tortures of the damned.
But to think of the sacrifice of your valuable life, and
the waste of your holy love, is dreadful. * *
Can you offer one prayer for a miserable, degraded
man ? \ our forgiveness Ido not ask, lor my load is
now sufficiently great; but for the sake of Jesus pray
for me, and cast one thought on him who has, from
the first moment he saw you, loved you with no
common love, and never better than when he sold his
and your happiness for gold. * * * *
Louis Thornton.'’
flow calm and beautiful she looked, as she lay ill
her white shroud, with her small, pale hands folded
meekly over her breast, and her eyes closed in that
calm repose which sorrow and anguish cannot disturb.
And as the soft spring air blew her curls from her
brow, one might have thought she was but sleeping,
liut her sleep was a long one. And they buried her
in a pleasant place, where the birds sang over her
their songs of gladness, and where the sweet violets,
pure as herself, bloomed on her grave. God was very
kind to her, to remove her in her first trial, while she
was still go<xl and pure, to that glorious, better Land,
whore she is at rest and happy. At the grave, when
the coffin was lowered, a stranger, wrapped in a cloak,
notwithstanding the warmth of the weather, and with
a hat over his eyes, was observed to walk forward and
look on the face which could be seen through a glass
plate ; and then, with a groan of anguish, so deep and
hollow that it made the spectators start, he left the
grave, and was seen no more.
The Hon. Louis Thornton is now 7 one of the weal
thiest and most influential men in Georgia. He may
be a happy man ; but if a continual restlessness, and
a painful contraction of the brow and muscles of the
rm uth, are indications of a mind at war with itself,
he is a miserable, despairing man. However, he has
got gold, and that is generally considered a grand
panacea for all the ills flesh is heir to.
*We have done. If our tale has any moral, it can
easily be seen. Tiiat it is true, cannot be denied ;
but sad to say, truth is not always as interesting as
fiction. We have only to add that a truly noble
man, who has learned the “ priceless wisdom from
endurance drawn,” can, if he will, be what God
intended tnan should be: the noblest, grandest work
of His bands, and but “ little lower than the angels ;’’
but the love of wealth transforms him into a demon
of selfishness, avarice, and meanness.

THE OPINION OF THE PRESS.
St. Louis Organ and Reveille.
Every American, doubtless, desires to see the
establishment of liberal governments through
out the world; but no American, we trust, is
prepared to advocate the policy of calling upon
our Government to adopt a system of propa
gandist)!, either with the aid of the National
treasury, or of the National troops.
Dubuque (Iowa) Gazette.
The right to interfere in the domestic con
cerns of our neighbors is not contended for by
the most meddlesome and impertinent individ
ual, why should it be laid down as a principle
by a wise and enlightened nation ?
* * * *
There is no nation in the world which cannot
change its form of government when the people
will it to be done, and it is but fair to presume
that the existing form, elsewhere as well as here,
is that form which the people prefer.
Jefferson i'Pa.i Star. ,
The people of the United States do sympa
thise no doubt deeply, with the Hungarians,
Poles, Italians and other nations who rallied
their forces in the cause of Liberty, but ought
we to abandon the policy or doctrine —the doc
trine of non-intervention, which forms one great
pillar upon which rests the great fabric of this
Republic, to carry out the schemes of one man?
Let the nations of Europe adjust their own dif
ficulties —settle their own disputes; and deter
mine their own forms of Government. Let the
nations of the Western World do the same.
This h a sentiment that has been set forth, and
one that should be adhered to.
Lebanon (Ohio) Star.
We, therefore, take issue with Louis Kossuth
and those who sustain his attempt to embroil
our country in a war with Russia, Austria and
Prussia, and agree with Washington, that ‘it is
our true policy to steer clear of permanent alli
ances with any portion of the foreign world.—
Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence
the jealousy of a free people ought to be con
stantly awake. Why quit your own to stand
on foreign ground ? Why, by interweaving our
destiny with that of any part of Europe, entan
gle our peace and prosperity in the toils of Eu
ropean ambition, rivaUhip, interest, humor or
caprice V
St. Louis InteHiirenrer.
While enjoying the hospitalities of the nation
at Washington, and receiving the calls and re
spects of the most distinguished and influential
of our public men, Kossuth will undoubtedly
learn that the clamorous cries and offers by a
portion of the population of New York, of armed
intervention by this Government in the affairs
of Europe, were a most unsafe index of its fu
ture policy or of the enlightened determined
opinion of the people of the whole oountry. He
will there make the discovery if he has not al
ready done *o, that our people are to a very
considerable extent a gaseous one, arid that
whatever proiui -s or assurances were held out
to him by the thoughtless masses or a few fiery
and hotheaded spirits of New York and other
cities, the government is not at all likely to de
part from its settled policy of non-intervention
in the affairs of Europe.
Scioto (Ohio) Gazette.
Those, too, who have been ‘hurrying up the
cakes’ for Hungary, may possibly stop long
enough to take breath, and inquire—How long
will the Hungarian Republic last, cyphering
from the data just afforded by that of France ?
—‘why should we quit our otvn, to stand on for
eign ground V Thank Ood ! the Republic of
the United States, thus far, by following the
stern examples and wise precepts of its sturdy
fathers, remains intact; while the paper Repub
lics of Europe, framed upon abstract theories,
instead of the virtue and intelligence of their
respective Peoples, are crumbling to ruins.
Venango (Pa.) Spectator.
We may sympathise with Kossuth and de
plore the fate of his country, but so far as any
demonstration on our part is concerned, we
should be governed by our duty to our own
country, llie doctrine of non-intervention is
a sound doctrine ami a safe one.
* * * * *
Scioto Gazette (Chillicothe Ohio.)
While the eloquence of the distinguished
Hungarian captivates the judgments and kindles
the enthusiasm of his auditors, we are content
to sit at the feet of Washington, and study his
precepts. They may be ‘old but
they are such as have led to the establishment
of a light in the world which attracts the op
pressed of all nations, to seek a welcome refuge
under our flag. They have led us to the palmy
condition, which enables us to dictate justice to
contemporary nations, who would insult our
honor or strike at our interests. And they have
established our Liberty , on foundations broad
and deep, upbuilding them in-such moral gran
deur that the people of Christendom are not
content merely to admire, but also strive to imi
tate. The old hunkerism of Washington, and
ot all the earlier Presidents, will do to live and
die by, as promotive of the most liberal, sub
stantial progress. Ksto perpetua !
Cumberland Miner’s Journal.
So far as we are concerned, we are invincibly
opposed to going beyond the enthusiasm of the
hour to enter into entangling alliances with any
nation on the face of the earth.
IJHitarille Journal.
Let every nation attend to its own domestic
concerns, and let there be no interference on the
part, ol any nation in any domestic squabbles
that may take place in any other nation, has
been the language of our example to the world.
e have no fear that any despots will under
take to trouble our Government by fomenting
discords on our soil, or by invading our territory,
and our Government has never yet manifested
a disposition to do to others what it has forbid
den others to do to it.
Memphis Kagle and Rnqulrer.
That in the course of events now hidden in
the future, there may arise an exigency w hich
would justify and require a departure from this
attitude of non-intervention with the domestic
struggles of other nations, is not impossible.
A now ‘Holy Alliance’ of the despots of Eu
rope, entered into with the clear and indubita
ble purpose of treading out tlie fires of liberty
not only in the eastern hemisphere, but through
out the world, would demand of us, as a mat
ter of self-preservation, to make common cause
with the friends of freedom in every land. Let
but the Absolute Governments of Europe pro
claim such a crusade as this, and from every
plain and hill-top of this land there will arise a
voice, like that of an archangel—
“To warn the allied kings of earth, that if they once
conspire,
Our stars shall change to thunderbolts—our stripes to
sliyams of fire.’’
But the time is not yet. It is the part
wisdom, patriotism, and philanthropy, to which
the course of events, and charge our policy only
when the necessity may arise which will demand
it.
Cincinnati Commercial.
W bile we deeply sympathise with the op
pressed of all nations, M. Kossuth in particular,
we would retain for our own country due respect,
and strive to keep her in respectful standing in
reference to foreign countries. So long as they
treat our country respectfully, it is our duty to
return the same feeling. When anv foreign na
tion insults our flag and our honor, it will be
time enough to act against it.
CircleviU# (Ohio) Herald.
__ Look, for instance, at the tendency of the
Kossuth ‘fever.’ In the ardor of his love for
Hungary, the brave Magyar asks the American
government to form a dangerous alliance
with England who is herself jealous of us and
at heart our foe, for the avowed purpose of en
gaging in an indiscriminate war with Russia,
and perhaps other European nations. The
thoughtless and jacobinical portion of communi
ty, carried away by his eloquence and sympa
thising with his cause, forget the advice of our
early lathers, who taught—‘Peace with all na
tions, entangling alliances with none,’ and are
ready to rush headlong into ruin.

Secretaries of the Association ! On looking it over
cursorily, we discover no material discrepancies be
tween it and the List published by ourself, the week
after the Fair. Our report was necessarily more con

in the main, as to facts, notwithstanding the pains ta

will prove this truth of history.

We have the satisfaction to announce that the Exe

have determined to hold their next Fair in Macon.
The authorities of the city have tendered to the society,
the sum of 01000 for the Fair purposes, one half of
which will be devoted to premiums. There will be
considerable improvements made on the ground so as
to add materially to the accommodation of exhibitors
and visitors. During the same week there will be held
the annuab Fair of the State Mechanical Institute,
which will be one of the most interesting features of
the occasion, and serve to give increased impetus to
the cause of State industry and enterprise. Let the
Mechanics, Artists, and Manufacturers, bestir the ri
se! ves, in season, to make a rich display of their wares
and handicraft, for ‘all tire world and his wife’ will be
here, provided no far-seeing and strong-scented dis

The Late Meeting at Milledgcvillc.
It is just as certain as any thing ever gets to be, be
fore it happens, that those members of the Legislature
who were active in passing the 3d Resolution in favor
of sending delegates to the Baltimore Convention, are
politically d—d. They have committed a mistake
which is so fatal as to be justly considered a crime.—
The verdict of felo-de se is sure to be the epitaph which
will be written on their political tomb stones.
But the most laughable of all is the part which Judge
Merriwether has taken in the affair. For him,
a ‘dyed in the wool’ Whig of the deepest tint, to claim
that he is a Democrat in principle, and willing to hug
his late opponents in a fraternal embrace, is indeed a
marvellous spectacle to witness. Surely the ‘times
are out of joint.’
Botanico Medical College.
The lata Legislature did one good thing, in the
appropriation of 05000 to the Botanical College of this
city. If it were just and right to pass laws authoriz
ing the Medical men of this School to practise their
profession and teach it to others, it surely was expedi
ent to aid them in the effort to send forth well-educat
ed practitioners in the healing art. There are very
many of the citizens of Georgia who have confidence in
no other system of practice than the Eeclectic and Bo
tanic, and their rights and privileges should not be
disregarded, in the distribution of the public money
for praise-worthy objects. We hope the Trustees of
this institution will erect a College building which will
fully serve their purpose as well as prove an ornament
to the city,
Correspondence of the Citizen.
Savannah, Jan. 26, 1852.
Mr. Editor f—Y nur lengthy eotemporary of the
Journal and Messenger, has been here on a visit. Ilis
object was to form n Connection, of some sort, with
some of the newspapers here, or to establish one for
himself. Having run down at the heels in Macon, he
now seeks to recover himself by a change of venue.
It is said that Punch of the Georgian declined to sell
to him even at $50,000. He would sooner seethe
establishment sunk in tho River, than transferred to
C n. So with tho Republican, which would not
touch him with n polo us long as himself. The‘News’
bluffed him off by atking such a price for a share of it
as was too big for his ‘pile.’ The Evening Journal
also declined, notwithstanding it is in want of help, to
have any thing to do with him.
Ihe truth is, C nis too well known here, as well
as in Macon. lie has run though his reputation as
well as his means, and is set down as bankrupt in both.
It is known bore as well as in your city, that his rea
son for desiring a change is because lie has rendered
himself odious to your people and the proprietors of
tho Journal and Messenger. Ili s conduct is not less
odious here; and if he removes to Savannah, it will
be only to sink still lower. lie had better go West.
OYSTER.
&£T Tho writer of the foregoing seems to knoio his
man. The picture lie draws of the miscreant is a sun
light sketch which will be pronounced a good likeness
in Columbus, Athens, Augusta, and every other place
that this ‘Jeremy Diddler’ ever showed his ugly phiz.
We have been posted, for months, in many little episo
des in his personal history, which we may yet give to
the public, in some other way than in the columns of a
Newspaper. We cannot stain our columns with the
disgusting details, but will employ one of that useful
class of public-servants—the street scavengers—to
take up the nuisance that lies sweltering in the streets,
throw it into his offal cart and dump it down in that
golgotha of all uneleanness, ‘Napiers’s old field,’ with
out the sight and smell of decent olfactories ! Faugh !
Tho odor from forty-thousand piggeries in full blast
would be the ‘attar of roses’ in comparison!

The Editors of the Journal and Messenger in their
issue of this week, enumerate several classes of per

the Union party of Georgia, and in their enumeration
they omited. one class who arc opposed to their policy,
and that is, the decent and well-bred. QUIP.
Public Opinion.
A friend writing from Monroe county, says ‘I am
utterly opposed to the mad scheme of the Journal and
Messenger, and so far as my iriformathn extends it
meets with the reprobation of the Union men of Mon
roe.’
Another writes from Columbus, ‘what in the world,
has got into that fellow Chapman ? Every body here
condemns his ridiculous movement, though they may
not notice him, as it looks too much like kicking
a man who has already floored himself.’
‘Out of the abundance of tiie heart the mouth
speaketh.’ —The Journal and Messenger prates a
good deal about Murrclism, Frecsnilism , and ‘rascali
ty in general.’ Men arc apt to speak of that which
runs in their heads. ‘What’s bred in the bone’ &e.
Bishop Hughes, in speaking of Editors of
New York, says that they are ‘machines that lie by
steam. 1 That’s nothing to an editor we have in these

‘Be gnstibus non est disputanduni!’
‘Major Jones’ of the Savannah ‘News,’ in quoting
from the treasonable article of the ‘Journal and Mes

mark :
“ The suggestions of the Editor of the Messenger ,
having been denounced by the Georgia Citizen as
treason to the Union party, the Editor of that paper
comes in for a most excruciating castigation.’
According to the proper use of the pronoun that, in
this paragraph, the News says that the Editor of tho
‘Messenger’ ‘comes in for a most excruciating castiga
tion.’ But we are inclined to suppose that the Major’s
pronoun ‘‘that 1 was intended to refer to the Editor of
the‘Citizen.’ This being the case, wc would only en
quire of the Major, should the Editor of the ‘Citizen’
say to him, Major Jones, you are a ‘skunk’—Major
Jones, you are a Black mail Editor—Major Jones,
you are a coward—Major Jones, you arc a ‘scoundrel’—
Major Jones, you are a ‘dead carcass’—Major Jones,
you are a ‘liar’—Major Jones, you are a ‘ Muri el man
and an abolitionist,’ etcetera, and so on, and likewise—
would you consider yourself ‘excruciatingly castigated?’
Your grammar as well as your taste might be casti

That Patriotic Spectacle at the Circus. —We
have seldom witnessed a piece upon the stage better
calculated to delight the community than the
spectacle of ‘Old Put,’ produced every night at Spald
ing and Rogers’ Circus, on the Public Garden. Aside
from the enthusiasm the sentiments naturally involved
in such a subject always excite among Americans, the
manner in which it is gotten up reflects great credit
upon the management. The interest of the piece is
sustained throughout, several of the local characters
admirably sustained and the whole properly appre
ciated by the audience, as their almost uninterrupted
cheering, last night, confirms. But the final tableaux
vivant was the chef d'ceuvre of the evening. A no
ble representation of General Washington, dressed
with fidelity', and borne aloft on the shoulders of his
‘brave Continentals,’ mounted on a bona fide live
horse, weighing over 1400 lbs., is a picture we defy
the most phlegmatic to witness without enthusiasm.
Revolutionary Times.
A Columbus correspondent writes us that two bril
liant coup d’ dais come oft’ there on Tuesday last,
which are as startling as they are curious. The first
consisted in a battle-royal between two Knights of the
pullikins, with other weapons than those used upon
the grinders of their patients. There was an old grudge
between the parties which thus oozed out at the tips of
their fingtrs without much damage to the corporosity
of either. The ‘2d was the dissolution of tho City
Council by the decree of Mayor Morton, on the question
of slave marts, five of the most prominent members
of the Board having formally surrendered their port
feuilles and retired to private life ! The point in dis
pute is the right of a minority of the council to repeal
an ordinance which a majority of the whole Board had
previously refused to repeal, and in face of the Rule
declaring that ‘no resolution or matter of business
having been decided on by Council shall be again
brought before it unless by a majority of the Board !’
Our correspondent, in view of these things asks us
to send a missionary to Columbus, but failing in that,
to send a Circus /
Shad, oh!
The ancient city of Oglethorpe has, we learn, passed
a prohibitory Tariff on their Fish Market, having for
its object the protection of their Shad from the como
rant appetites of the outside barbarians. An agent of
one of our enterprising houses was lately mulcted in
the sum of $5 and costs, for buy ing up a basket of fish
for this market, contrary to the ordinance which pro
vides that the epicurean stomach of the Sannah no
bility shall first be ministered unto, in this regard !
This is a spcinien of municipal free-trade legislation
which is as rich as it is rare, and should, by all means
meet with corresponding courtesy! Suppose, for in
stance, our merchants and planters try Charleston
market, for the sale of their cotton and purchase of
groceries ? Would it not bring the Solons of Savannah
to their milk ?

The National Democratic Convention.
The ‘Constitutional Union’of Marietta, speak
ing of the attempt to re-organize the okl par
ties and to send Union delegates to the Balti
more Convention says:—
“ Georgia was right when she laid down her ’at
form. She is right now in maintaining it; —and such
will be the verdict of the conservative people of the
Union. Your whig and democratic shouts will be
drowned, when the welkin is made to ring as it will
be, with ‘the Compromise and the Constitution.’ This
is the issue which both Secessionist and Freesoiler
must face, sickening as be to them.’’
The‘Chronicle & Sentinel,*quotes the article
of the ‘Messenger and Journal,’ referred to in
our last, and responds as follows:
“ We differ entirely from the suggestions contained
in his article as to the mode of settlement. We are
utterally opposed to sending delegates to either Con
vention, Democratic or Whig, as at present organiz
ed. Neither will or can be sound on the great ques
tions involving the rights and interests of the South ;
nor is it the desire of the leaders and intriguers of
cither that they should be sound upon that question,
because they both desire and intends to hid for the
Frecsoil vote. We are opposed to sending delegates
to either, because wo cannot do so consistently with
our principles. Ours is the Constitutional Union
party, a party composed of individuals from both the
old parties, which we have repudiated upon a ques
tion of paramount importance to all others agitating
the public mind. llow then can we send delegates,
either to the National Democratic or Whig Conven
tions, with any hope of their being admitted or re
ceived ? They would not be, and ought not, with any
regard to principles bo received in either, and if re
ceived in either they would be found ‘cheek by jowl’
with such men as Chase, Sumner, Preston, King,
Rantoul, Seward, Blair, Van Buren, Greek-, Cleve
land, Baldwin, Dayton, and a host of others equally
obnoxious to them, and holding principles equally di
ametrically opposed to those of the Union party of
the South. With what right, or grace even, could
we attempt to ‘blend’ ourselves with either of these
Conventions and ‘ control their organization ?’ This
is, to say the least, a decidedly bold move in our Ma
con contemporary—a sort of Napoleon coup d'etat
—and might not be regarded by either of the Con
ventions as strikingly modest.”
The Griffin ‘Union, has the following on the
same subject: —
‘•The indications are plain that efforts will be made
in some quarters to bin 1 the Union party of Geor
gia, to the ear of the Baltimore Democratic Conven
tion.
We have supposed that the Union party would like
ly support the Democratic nominees for President and
\ ice Pr.sident on the ground that it has b<*en assert
ed that the Northern Democrats are more to be relied
on by the South than the Northern Whigs. But if
the ingredients of the Baltimore Convention arc to be
no better than those of the Democratic caucus which
met at the opening of the present Congress its nomi
nees can never get our support.’’
*******
“ We see that preparations are being made bv those
who a short time since were open and avowed disu
ionists to send delegates to the Baltimore Convention
under the name of the Democratic party of Georgia,
and we see it hinted in certain places that none others
will be received or admitted as delegates. Wo also no
tice that in some of the Northern States, delegates
have been appointed to that Convention known to be
in affiliation with the Free Sail party. From those
two circumstances it appears not at all improbable that
the Baltimore Convention will be composed chiefly of
politicians who seek the overthrow of the Republic,
and only claim the name of democrat to give them pow
er to lead the people into the snare set for them.
This being the course that it seems probable now
that things will take, we say unhesitatingly that, if cith
er Northern Freesoilers or Southern fire eaters are
admitted as delegates to the Baltimore Convention the
nominee of that Convention be he whom be may,
cannot receive our support.”
The Home ‘Courier,’after speaking of the in
consistent course of the ‘Southern Rights’ par
ty on the great questions, in issue, before the
people, says:
“ But what is worse than all is the fact, that there
are some in our own ranks who urge upon the Union
party a similar course. The last Macon Journal and
Messenger, in particular, strongly reooommends the
Constitutional Union party of Georgia to send dele
gates to the Baltimore Democratic Convention to be
held in June next then and there to aid in the selec
tion of candidates for President and Vice President.
Now we humbly trust that the Union party of the
Soutli will be guilty of no such folly. In the first place
it has no invitation to that Convention —and her dele
gates would be justly viewed as interlopers and intru
ders and therefore not entitled to scats. And in the
second place, even if they were permitted to partici
pate in its deliberations, they could achieve no valua
ble purpose. As was the ease in the Congressional
Caucus, they would be voted down ; and baffled, and
fretted, and crippled; the party would be weakened at
home and ridiculed abroad ; perhaps entirely broken
up and scattered.
The true policy of the Union party is to main
tain its present distinctive organization. Suppose it were
not to be represented in either of the National Con
ventions, and should take no part in nominating or
even electing a Presidential candidate ? Would this
impair its influence at home or abroad ? We pre
sume not.
The idea that we should thrust a representation into
the P>altimore Convention, to make it do right, and to
keep the free-soil and secession influence in check, with
due respect to our worthy eotemporary, we look upon
as rather Quixotic. No, let us hold on to our present
organization and principles; prepared at the proper
time to give our support to those who respect the for
mer and will maintain the latter.”
Again, the same Journal, in reply to the sug
gestion of the Editor of the Messenger, to send
Delegates to the Baltimore Convention, says:
If we supposed the Editor of that paper really se
rious in urging upon the Union party of Georgia a
course so absurd and ridiculous, we have no idea it
should for a moment be seriously entertained by any
considerable number of its members. The Union
party of the South, we presume, has too much self-re
spect to thrust itself upon a body without invitation,
and exchange its cherished platform upon which it has
so nobly and successfully fought the battles of the
Union, for the patched up and dubious Baltimore pit
fall, into which it seems Southern fire-eaters and se
cessionists and Northern wooly-heads, aud free-eoilers,
are disposed to leap, pell melt. Our worthy Macon
cotemporary may fancy such a meeting and such a
greeting, but with the lights now before us, we must
beg to bo excused from either
What the Fire-Eaters say of the Arch-
Traitor 2
However well the disunion prints of Georgia “ may
love the treason,” they seem to “hate the traitor’’ of
the Messenger, with a malignity, which must be very
satisfactory to a man up a tree! We give a sample of
the manner the proposition to send Un>on delegates to
the Baltimore Democratic Convention is received bv
several of the leading prints of the “Southern Rights’’
school. Says the Albany Patriot:
The Editors of the Journal fc Messenger are veri
ly becoming the most modest and unobtrusive men we
have ever heard of. For years past, this paper Inis
been the most scuriiousand abusive of the Democratic
party, of any other paper in Georgia, and now, with
out any evidence of penitence for their past sins
and follies, or professing any change of principles or
practices, modestly propose that they, and their friends
shad be represented in the Baltimore Democratic Con
vention! And for what purpose do they projK.se to
go into this Convert on? ‘‘Unless they do so , that
Convention may lose its conservative character, and
may bring forward a candidate who will be obnox
ious to the South. ’ \\ hen did the great National
Democratic party’ lose its conservative character or
biing forward a candidate who’ w as justly ‘obnoxious
to the South? Such charges as these, come with a
bad grace from men who have been closely affiliated
with Northern abolitionists, and who now confess that
the National party which they have been striving with
all their might and main for years to keep in power,
is disorganized and disbanded—the Northern portion
of it is led by I‘ree-soilets and factionists.’ Verily
they are pretty conservators of the Democratic party.
But suppose the gentlemen of the Journal & Messen
ger, and their co-laborers, should be found in Baltimore
on the Ist of June, demanding admission into the Demo
cratic Convention—what would that Convention sav
to them? It vve may be permitted to associate the su
blime w ith the ridiculous, we would suppose the Con
vention would exclaim—‘O’ generation of vipers ! who
iiaih warned you to flee from the w rath *o come ? Bring
forth therefore, fruits meet for repentance.’
Says the Federal Union :
No Go.
The bold attempt of the editor of the Journal A’
Messenger to smuggle the wings of Georgia into the
Baltimore Democratic Convention meets with but lit
tle encouragement from any quarter. The author of the
plot must have a very’ poor opinion of the sagacity of
the members of the convention, if he thinks they can
be caught by such a shallow trick. He proclaims to
the world that the whigs, or Union men as lie calls
them, are going to the Baltimore Convention for the
express purpose of controlling the convention, and yet
he professes to believe that the convention will receive
them with open arms. Does this profound politician
believe that Democrats have become weary of manag
ing their own business and are anxious to employ old
blue light Whigs to control them? Does he believe
that the Democrats have become so demented as to re
ceive this wooden horse of whiggery into the citadel of
their strength ? If he indulges in any such hopes, we
can assure him they are delusions. If he wishes to see
how far the Baltimore Convention can be imposed upon,
let him go there as a delegate. There is an instance
of similar audacity recorded in the first chapter of the
book of Job. We are there told, that a certain char
acter who had been “going to and fro in the earth, and
walking up and down in it,’ attempted to thrust him
self into good society. But Satan was soon detected
and sent about his business. Can oar cotemporary hope
to succeed in a trick in which Satan failed ?”
And our Cherry st. neighbor, in a capital article of
two columns, which, but for its great length, we would
publish entire, thus lays it on the recreant hide of the

The Messenger and the Titian Parly.
“ In our last issue, vve briefly adverted to an article
in the Journal A Messenger, entitled “ I he Union -Par
ty and the next Presidency.” Since then our cotem
porary has poured a second effusion of the same sort
on the public, and tlie two taken together furnish a text
not altogether unworthy of commentary.
Since the appearance of the articles aforesaid, our
city hits been graced with the presence of the People’s
Circus, anti though the s .bject seem “wide as the
poles asunder,’’ our readers shall present’y see that
they have, nevcrebeless, a most intimate connexion.—
Fite troupe performed wonders, but no one could fail
!to observe that while the riding and tlie vvitic-isms were
pronounced admirable, the most agile tumbling was wit
nessed by the audience without the shadow of an excite
ment. Mr. Dale, whose reputation as a tumbler is
coeval with tbc equestrian profession, (if we may credit
the bills) made, by no means, an adequate impression
Mr. W orland, the celebrated somorstt man and gt nc
ral gymnast, was absolutely nowhere. Even of Mr.
Rotehford, “the famous double som.-rset man, whose
dashing execution of the most complicated feats has won
for him the appellation of the Chrichton of the cirque,”
it can only be said that he fell firmly on his feet, though
lie fell flat upon the public. Strangers in our mid t
were puzzled at this apathy on the part of our mercu
rial population, but observant citizens were at no loss for
tin explanation. Our cot-niporarv of the Messenger,
aided by some of his “Union Constitutional Union
friends’’ had performed suelt a series of ground and
lofty tumbling before the people of Georgia recently,
as to make even the feats of the circus appear flat and
tame in comparison.’’
*****
“ ritete is but one word in the English language bv
which this modest programme, so confidently publisher!
by the Messenger, can be properly characterized, and
that word is Impudence. A sinner, whose proper place
is on the anxious seat, is already prescribing rules of
faith to the Church! A man knocking at the do>r for
admission is already ordering the government of the
household. A journalist who has for years attacked
the Democratic party with the virulence and venom of
Junius, unredeemed by his ability, is already reading a
test oath to its Convention. And should the Baltimore
Convention impudently refuse to be governed by the old
Whig party of Georgia, a coup d'etat is meditated,
more desperate than that of Louis Napoleon. The
unfortunate Convention is doomed—it is to be blown to
atoms ! There is a coolness about all this which the
present condition of the thermometer has not allowed
the public to appreciate, but should it be sustained until
the dog days, the Messenger will be a desideratum in
every well-regulated family.’’
In addition to this “kicking down stairs” which the
3d street man has sufll-red from every ignoble foot, he
has the further satisfaction to know that not a single
press of the Union party has yet rallied to his craven
standard! As for the people—the “rank and file” of
the party —they are universally indignant at the scheme
to betray them into the hands of the enemy !
Look out for the Guyasnitus:

All hail! Alabama.
At a meeting of the Unioo party of Alabama, m
regular convention held at Montgomery, Ala. on the
19th mat., the Hon. James E. Belser was called to the
ehatr, temporarily, and Wilson M. Kidd appointed Se
cretary. A committee was then raised to report the
names of officers of the convention of whom Alvis Q
Nicks was nominated as President, with the usual num
ber of \ tee Presidents and Secretaries. \ Commi--
teeof 21 was then raised to prepare matter for the ac
tion of the Committee. The chairman, thereof tin?
Hon. James £. Belser, thereupon made the followin'*
Report, which was unanimously adopted. The Reso
lutions are in the right spirit, and utterly repudiate ,he
idea of going into either national Convention, but re
commend a National Urnon Convention at Washington
in June next.
“The committee of 21, to whom was referred sun
dry resolutions, connected with the action of the Con
vention on questions of National and State policy have
requested me to report to the Convention the followin'*
resolutions, and to ask that they may be adopted . *
1. Resolved , That the government of the United
States was established by the wisdom and patriotism of
men, who comprehended and loved freedom— that we
are indebted to them for the high position which we
hold among nations, and for the happiness which we
enjoy at home, and we should deplore any attempt to
overthrow the government which they created, a*
fraught with dangers to our best interests as a people, to
the glory of the republic, and to the cause of human
libel ty throughout the world.
2. Resolved , That in the Federal Constitution cer
tain powers are expressly delegated to the general gov
ernment, and that so long as its action is limited to them,
it is entitled to the support of the people of the United
States, and that any cffi.rt to wrest those powers from
it, or to obstruct its authority, while in the exercise of
legitimate functions, would be hostile to the peace and
happiness of the whole country.
3. Resolved, That Alabama, as one of the United
SSites of America, desires to perpetuate the Union
as long as the Federal Constitution is regarded as the
charter of her rights, and that while her people are
prepared to repel aggressions on the part of the Gene
ral Government, they are also ready to reject every ef
fort to involve them in acts or hostility against it* un
til, in their judgment, the occasion shall arise for vin
dicating l!t<we t ights. And that they will then proceed
to demand redress from the government which oppres
ses them, or boldly defy its authority, by asserting in
the spirit of the revolution, their purpose to be free and!
independent.
4. Resolved, That the asserteJ right of secession of
a State from the Union, is unsanctioned by the Federal
Constitution ; but that we claim it as a paramount right
which belongs to every free people, to overthrow their
government, when it fails to answer the ends fijr which
it was established.
5. Resolved , That an epoch has commenced, which
requires us to forget past political differences, to minis,
ter no longer to sectional discord, t contemplate in all
its grandeur, an undivided and harmonious Union, and
that, actuated by this spirit, we acquiesce in the late
Compromise adjustment, as a definitive settlement of
the slavery question, and will insist on its being adher
ed to in o>d faith.
6. Resolved, That we think it inexpedient, to ap
point del. gat. s to i cpresent us in either the Democratic
or Whig National Conventions,to nominate candidate*
for President and Vice President of the United .States,
and that this Convention recommend to the friends of
the Compromise measures of the late Congress, the
pronri.ty of holding in the city of Washington, on tlw
second Monday in June next, a National Union Con
vention. irrespective of old party organisat.ons, for the
pn: (vise of nominating candidates for President and
Vice President of the United States, pledged to the
support and maintenance of those measures, as a final
adjustment.
7. Resolved , That th’s C .invention, before it ad
journs, w ill appoint eighteen delegates to repr -sent the
Constitutional Union party ot Alabama in said contem
plated National Convention, two from each Congres
sional district and four from lite State at large
8. J\egtired, 1 hat it will also choose a:i electoral
ticket to be composed of nine candidates, one from each
Congressional district, and two from the State at large,
to sustain the nominations of said Convention, if any
are made by it. or any other nomination of President
and Vice President of the United States, that the Con
stitutional Union party of this State, may think it pro
per to support in the coming election.
9. Resolved, That, while we feel a deep soPcitude for
tlmse who are struggling or independence, in the trans-
Atlantic world, and will assist in holding up ourcoon
try, as a moral beacon to display the genial influence of
liberty, still tvenre unprepared to advise its propagation
in Europe by the sword, or to abandou the non-inter
vention doctrines of Washington.
10. Resolved, That as a |trt\. we regard popular
education as the first element ot civilization, the fruitful
fountain of morality, the basis of all social progress;
and tiiat we will, as far as lies in our power, favor the
instruction of the masses.
11. Resolved, That we will endeavor to promote
the improvement of our State, by diversifying the pur
suits of labor, encouraging the investment of the sur
plus capital of her citizens in such works, and the ex
penditure of foreign funds with the same view : and by
every other prudent means within our power.
