ealling It. II. Canon, Esqr., to the
Chair, and J. D. Phillips to act as
Sect’y. A preamble and resolutions
were submitted by Julius M. Patton,
Esq-, accompanied with remarks. The
resolutions in substance, declared in fa

Southern Rights Party
The charge of inconsistency and dem-
agogueUm made by the Southern Rights
press upon the Union party, because of
the proposition to go into the Baltimore
Convention, certainly exhibits]a degree
of boldness and effrontery unparalelled
in the history of political warfare. We
are not unfreqoently assailed in private
conversation by members of the defunct
Southern Rights party with these char
ges, and a few days since one of the
champion* of the party in this county,
made a verbal assault upon us in our of
fice, charging in the most heated and ! soilerg and abolitionists with
vindictive manner that we were rene- \ exclude the compromise principles from
gades from the Democracy, and tliat tbe Baltimore platform.

ntion, because they believe that body
iill adopt the Compromise principles,
et, though we believe it will thus act,
we do not propose to enter uncondition
ally as the Southern Rights party do,
but wo go only as Compromise men.
Nor are we pledged to set with them
unless they engraft these measures into
their platform. Should anything occur
previous to the meeting of that body in
dicative of a determination to reject the
adjustment measures, our delegates will
not be sent thither, but will meet in a
separate Convention—perhaps in Wash
ington, as proposed by the Union party
of Alabama—and make an independent
nomination. In thia event our action
may or may not correspond with that of
the Baltimore Convention, or with that
of the Whig Convention, should there
be one. Yet, be it understood, that the
Union party will nominate none other
than a Compromise roan, and one in
whom the South can repose the utmost
confidence. As to any prejudices at
tached to the mere names of Whig and
Democrat, they amount to nothing—
satisfied that the old issues once distin
guishing these names are now obsolete,
we care uot to quibble about terms. But
we want a true patriot and statesman for
our candidate if one can be found—-one
who will not deviate from the old beaten
track of our earlier Presidents, who with
out favor or partiality will enforce the
constitution and laws of the country,
and who would prefer to be guided byy
the pure primitive doctrines of our -
fathers rather than those of " destiny,f’
and “ progress,” or any of the new foj
gled ism* of the day. With such a mi
and such principles, we will be enabli
to rally to our standard all the true pa
triots and conservative spirits of the
country, who withjn .honest-enthusiasm
will bwe^down every obstacle, sweep
away seotional animosities, and establish
i)pon an enduring basis our liberties,
our Union and our Constitution.

will find in the above something applica
ble to his own case and to the allusion
made to our position in his last issue.—
It is not true, as charged by the editor
that there are certain Union Democrats
in this region opposed to acting with the
national democracy, on the contrary, we
are in favor of it upon the conditions a-
hove named. Nor aie we unwilling that
others should act with us, if they would
do so upon these terms. But we ore not
willing to act with his party in a combi-
nation, said to be formed with the free-
a view to
as above.

Democratic party, that we regard as most
U’rieiy to sustain onr principles. A ma
jority of the Union newspapers have urg
ed us to remain in our present party or

wards determine which of the two we
will support, or oan support consistent
with onr principles. Agreeing to sup
port cither the one or the other that may
present a sound political creed, and a
sound man, pledged to its support, and
to support neither, if onr principles are
not openly and boldly affirmed. Some
of onr prominent Union men have favor
ed one line of policy, and some with
equal ability and patriotism hav*. declar
ed ia favor of the other. If it is impor
tant that our principles should be felt in
the next Presidential election, and be
maintained triumphantly in the measures
and policy of (he next administration, the
way to make them so is clear to my
mind, to make an alliance with one or
the other of the two great national par
ties. It is worse than idle to talk of
extending the Union party beyond the
limits of the slave holding States, and
especially pending the excitement con
sequent on the arrangements necessary
to be made for the success of each of the
two parties during a Presidential con
test. Is there the remotest prospect
that the Union party can become a na.
tional party before the next Presidential
election ? And if not, bow can onr prin
ciples be felt unless they are adopted,
and we act with that party that does ar
dopt them in good faith 1 And can you
tell me which of the two -will be most
likely to adopt onr principles as a part
of their creed ? If there is twenty intel
ligent aniT well informed individuals in
this section of the State, that entertain
the opinion that the national Whig par
ty will, under any circumstances, adopt
our principles, I frankly confess that I
have never known.them. The truth is,
that no one here at the South* believes
that the national Whig party are relia
ble and sound on this issue. I acknowl
edge with pleasure, that Millard Fill
more is a Northern whig, and the South
ern people, with one accord, give him
credit for fidelity to the constitutional
ri(hte of the South connected with the
institution of slavery, as the President
of the United States. It is conceded,
also, that Mr. Webater ia a Northern
Whig, and the South, and the whole
of gratitude for
not be most likely to adopt our princi
ples *9 a part of their political creed ?—
It baa been suggested that this party
has freesoilers within its ranks, such as
Kantoul, Chase, Wilmot, and others
from Northern States, and that McDon
ald, Quitman, Jeff. Daris and Rhett, of
Nashville convention memory, also claim
that they are Democrats, and entitled to
the fullest consideration as such, and
that we cannot consistently with our
principles act with those who entertain
and propogate such heretical doctrines.
Admit this to be true, and the terms on
which wc propose to act with the nation
al Democratic party, does not make os
either freesoilers or secessionists. It is
known than cur party was formed as a
means of putting down both of these tac
tions ; and it will he known that we on
ly propose to set with the national Dem
ocratic party, npon condition that our
principle* are plainly and distinctly a-
dopted ; and whenever that party adopts
thy principles of the Union party, that
fiery moment they condemn freesoilism
and disunionism, whether from heresies
originating at the North or the South.
Admit, if you please, that the Demo
cratic party are divided between conser
vatism and ultraism, and the‘Union par-
ty have power sufficient to Settle this
contest, and make the controlling influ
ence in that organization in favor of their
Constitutional Union principles, would
we in jUod faith to those prin-
ciples, to stand aloof in such a contest,
until the question might possibly be set
tied against our principles, and against
the peace, harmony and integrity of the
Union. It is within onr power to re
main out of the Baltimore* Convention,
and to continue, even afterwards, the
Union party as a separate and distinct
political organization, but can we expect
to have any influence in the approach
ing Presidential election ? Can any per
son draw any sensible and rational dis
tinction between the Union party, under
such circumstances, and the sectional or
ganization that we lately opposed and de
nounced under the name of Southern
Rights? It will be certainly confined to
a very few Southern States, and will not
have the ascendency in any single State,
and I now venture this prediction—and
I claim to be no prophet, nor the son of
a propet—that the Udion party in Geor
gia would, in less than twelve months,
be acting with the State of South Caro
lina in favor of co-operation. For one,
I am uncompromisingly opposed to any
merely sectional organization ; and it is
not more* acceptable .to me under the
name of Union, than it was under the
name of Southern Rights. When I
consent to act knowingly with any sec
tional organization, it will be as a means
to accomplish an end ; and that end I
will proclaim openly, to be the dismem
berment af the Ucioo. Away with sec
tionalism.
they will put it down in explicit terms
at the Convention, and require that it
shall be carried out in good faith, re
mains to be seen. And whether the
Constitutional Union Party of Georgia
determines to send delegates to either
of the Conventions, or not, I hope they
will abide by the action of the Conven
tion of that Party, when it meets for
that purpose, and suffer no diversity of
opinion, as to the (tolicy to be pursued
to destroy the unanimity of the party—
but when that action is taken, all wiil
nnite cheerfully in sustaining it. A-
grecing with the opinion of the Union
members of the Legislature, as express
ed by them, I was favorably impressed
with the proposition to send delegates
to the Baltimore Convention with a fixed
determination to stand by the Georgia
platform ; and this I was only willing
to do, under the impression that our
principles could thereby be engrafted in
the Resolutions to be adopted there, and
that we would be in no worse condition
if the object for which we went, could
not be affected ; for I would not be wil
ling to do any thing calculated to weak
en our cause, or destroy the harmony
with which we have acted.
Being thoroughly convinced of the
correctness of the position taken by that
Party, I am determined to stand by it,
and with those that adopt it, and pledge
themselves tocarrv it out in good faith,
until the last plank shaifbe taken from
under me, and even then, I will never
join those thnt opposed it. I remain,
very respeetfti 1 ly,
Your-, truly.

Presidential Aspirants.
Who are the candidates for the next
Presidency and wbat are tbeir qualifica
tions, are questions yet to be answered?
The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun says “ the chances of the
nomination of Gen. Scott on the Whig
side and tf Gen. Cass on the Democrat
ic side, have of late been much increased
In fact, (hey arc at this moment the
leading candidates in view of their res
pective parties.” It is impossible at
this early day lo make any correct cal
culations upon this subject. The signs
mere makes the following declarations:
1. That I never subscribed to that
act of abdication.
2. That I never saw the name.
3. That neither my sense of duty as
a citizen nor as a patriot, would ever
have allowed me to put my signature to
that act. had I ever 6een it, or had its
existence ever been known to me;—
which neither was the fact
After stating that Kossuth had for
months spoken of Gorgey as a traitor,
M. Szemerc proceeded to say:
“ Gorgey caused Kossuth to be re
quested to abdicate, and Kossuth hast
ened to do it, and immediately thereaf
ter fled across the Turkish boundary.
“ It is important to remark here that
at thia moment there wa* still in the
hands of the nation four fortresses, and
two of these the strongest in the whole
conntry, namely: Komora and Peter-
wardin, as well as an army of 13,500
men and 300 field officers, I believe
that never before, in the history of the
world, has the head of a nation turned
its back on so powerful a military force.
“ Gorgey laid dowu his arms only
26,000inen. The rest of the army sur
rendered only because they heard not
only that M. Kossuth bad abdicated, and
by so doing bad declared the hopes of
the nation as forever lost, hut that he

He then goes to show that Kossuth
not only resigned the office of Governor,
but, without the shadow of law or au

thus creating-he wbat was not himself
