No one to love ! no one to love,
All arc gone.and wo trust to bright mansion* above:
The baud that oppressed, and the one that was
kind, •
nave all passed away, and left me behind.
No one to love ! no one to love,
Kings in mine cur. like a kn:ll as 1 r>re :
The fair, gifted girl, and the wild wayward boy
Have departed, and gone to the region* of'joy.
No one to love ! no one to love.
The frait the faultless alike are removed; 4
Kut like the. sweet vine, that encircled tho tree,
TUey tmtwined ‘round my heart, until death set
them free.
Those beautiful visions have all flitted hy.
And naught left to uie, but a tear and a sigh ;
With faith to prepare for that far distant realm,
Where hope safely anchors, with bliss at the
holm.
No ono to lore! ah can it be trao,
Our lives are so transient, our joys so few ;
That earth and its beauties are passing away,
And awon will he scattered, like blossoms in May.
No one to love, but there's something to call
The sad heart away, from the coffin and pall;
A something to lull (be sad mourner to rest,
Who Lives among peril* tuid sloruis at the best.
Oh ! worldlings, what is it, so sweetly that falls.
On tho ear, and like music’s soft cadence recalls
Our thoughts from the world, its affile non* and

And sheds ‘round our being the glow-worm’s light.
Not earth-horn it comes, not earth-auslaiuod

Cut uufo weak nature, an impetus gives.
Arouses the soul, when it yields to (Repair,

To A Friend.
Will you sometimes think of me, my Friend.
When day with its cares is gone,
And the dewy night with its starry light,
Comes stealing gently on?
Will you stand alone on the Ocean’s shore,
Where the waves murmur fresh and free.
While your heart beats time to the Ocoau's
roar,
Will yon sometimes think of me ?
I know that a fairer face than wine
Will visit thy dreams at night ;
That brighter eyes will meet thy gaze,
In the Summer's golden light,
But still when you cast a backward glance
O'er life's dark changeful sea.
When you muse alone on the time that’s gone.
Will you give one thought to me *
“tioThj Kay,Thy Son Llveth ”
Uh you. in unbelieving fear
Who weep o'er those you love.
When sickness, pain and death apjrear
Your faith and trust to prove.
Oh ‘ know ye how ami where to seek
That mighty One, who here
Vouchsafed these words oflife to speak
And heard that father’s prayer.
His heart is .still .soft pity's throne

•Speak the life-giving word.
It may not l*e, that life, that spends
In care, and pain its breath,
That runs its weary race, and ends
Again, and soon, in death !
But a gift beyond thy poor request
May to thy prayer be given,
A life to bes|>eut in the mansions of rest,
And the endless bliss of Heaven.
Tlic Breeze of Miring
Dull Wittier hastens to be gone,
Ue'z disappearing hist;
The nuutiy hoars an? eomiug on,
The stormy time is past.
The ice no longer binds the rill,
Nor snows thoir mantle fling;
For every bleak and barren hill,
Has kissed the breeze of tpriug.
1 hear its music in the wood,
It sighs along the vale.
Where summer flowers iu beauty stood,
It lingers iu tho dale;
It plays upon the primrose banks,
And rests its merry wing;
The drooping snowdrop kindly thunks
The, balmy breeze of spring.
Ah ! well it knows where violets grow
In the lone and shady lane:
It bids its sweet, blue favorites blow,
And onward speeds agiiiu.
It wakes the grasses of tbe field®.
And they their oiferings bring:
Tho flower* their sweetest incense yield.
To scent the breeze of spring.
The blackbird from the hawthorn bush.
Renews Mh lively strain:
On topmost branches standi the thrush,
And tunes his throat amain;
At close of evening ealtu and inild,
He makes the f.>reat ring,
With native woodnotes clear and wild—
He loves the breeze of spring.
The Robin leaves his winter friends
For hedge-rows far away
Above his uioesy newts he bends,
And pipes his plaintive lay.
The lark uprising with the light,
Un merry mouutwing w s .ng—
Strains ail his might till out of sight,
And hails the breeze of spring.
A hundred voices fill tbe air.
The situ shines warmly down;
Away with each intruding care,
And leave the gloomy town.
Cat roam along the woOdpath green,
Hear nature's favorite sing,
Exdoy the soul enlivening scene.
And wuo the breeze of spring.
“Oh ? my love hm* an oye of the noftwit blue.

deacon was employed by an English mercantile
house in Sainsum, and was required to work on
the Sabbath. This he steadily refused to do.
His employer used all bis ingenuity to convince
him that it wa necessary and right to do so

Our Nicaragua llelationu.
Washington, April H.
There is anew and very interesting phase in
our relations with Nicaragua.
A- has already been made known. Kan Runnels,
the new Consul to Sail Juan, took important des
patches to Minister Lamar and the officers iu com
initm) of onr Home Squadron. These instructions
have been reiterated and struiigtheried by <lo.
patches sent still more recently.
Our Minister is to demand the immediate resto
ration of these steamers to the Transit Company,
ainplo indemnity tor the damage done by the de
struction of tho budges and other property on
the route, uml any other damage that may have
been sustained iu cousequence of the illegal -ei
xare aud other highhanded proceedings ordered
by Mm nine/.. Ift heso demands are not acceded
to at once, the whole available naval force in the
()uil and elsewhere than can be concentrated at
Han Juan in a short time will be placed at bis
disposal Mkddireeled to uet under bis orders, even
if ttiat. course shoald reouire that Sun Juan should
again die bombarded, lAd all tile towns in reach
of the squadron’s guns should share the same
fate.
The instructions also back up very strongly
General < ass's despatch of lust August, and as
sure Martinez in very unequivocal terms that this
goveruuieiit wiil protect the rights of the Ameri
can Transit Company.
The government has definitely resolved that
the Tra*. if route shall be opeued,aud has issued
n circular to the several companies, to ascertain
upon what terms the California mail can he ear
ned by this route from the ilOth of September,
IM/.tf, to the .'loth of June, 100. The company
must have tho privilege of transit from Niear
agwa. when onr government will protect the com
pany as far as our guns will go; and if things
should womc to u collision, there is hardly any
question but that (lie naval commanders would
take the responsibility of landing sufficient for
ces to protect the passengers, mails and treas
ure.
The Jo. White Company, the only one having
a legal existence in Nicaragua, their contract not
expiring till November, will probably agree to
commence operations as soon as their New Vork
mutters are arranged, and to carry the mails for
the postage* 1 .
Opposition
We unhesitatingly say, that we, are in favor of
a “I'inoiiofall the elements of opposition to the
Democratic party in order to defeat them in 18#0,

And we “unhesitatingly say” that the .Selma
Iltpvrter is blinded by prejudice and unfit, to give
counsel to tho South. The enemies of the no
mocracy save it u groat deal of trouble by tho rage
which drives them into fatal excesses Like the

Tin* chance of the British l.cgatlou Reception of
Lord Lyons.
Wo understand that on Monday last Lord Napier
presented his letter ol recall, and took leave of
tho President iu hi* character of Envoy Kxtruor
din ary and Minister Plenipotentiary of her Krit
fcanie Majesty, and that the customary expressions i
of good will were interchanged.
Yesterday laird Lyons was introduced by tlic
Secretary of State, us the successor of Lord Nii
pied, and addressed the President as follows :
Mu. Pin sioknt; My first duty in addressing I
you. asthe Envoy of Her liri tunic Majesty, is, in 1
obedience to Her Majesty's express command, to
assure you of her esteem and regard for you, and :
other hearty wishes for the welfare of the Great j
N ulioii of which you are the Chief Magistrate,-
Her Majesty has nothing more at heart than to :
maintain the friendship and good understanding
so happily existing between tin* Government of
Great Britain ami that of Iho United Staten.
The vast importance of the relations between |
the two countries would cause me to tremble in
entering upon the duties of the highly honorable
post to w hich the confidence of my Sovereign has
called me. I nui sustained, however, by the con
vietion that the good will and kind feeling which ‘
animate the government aud the people will reme
dy my personal deficiencies. 1 must entreat you,
sir. to view with indulgence tho humble effort*
which l shall constantly make to merit your ap
probation and to give < fleet to tho cordiul and
friendly intentions of the (Jueeu aud of her Maj
esty's government.
1 have now. sir, the honor to place in your
hands tho letter of credence which her Majesty
has been graciously pleased tv intrust to my
core.
Upon roceiv ing the letter of credence from Lord
Lyons, the President made the following re
marks ;
My Lori*: I give you a cordial welcome, as
too diplomatic representative of your sovereign, to
the government of tho United States. 1 receive
with much gratification the expression of 11 *•
Majesty's hearty wishes for tho welfare of the
United States, as well as her earnest, desire to
maintain tho friendship and good understanding
now so happily existing between bur respective
governments. These assurances, proceeding from
a Sovereign who is universally esteemed by the
people of the United States, and by none of thorn
more ihuu myself, are calculated to produce the
best effect on tlic relations between the two coun
tries. On our part, these sentiment.* are cordial
ly reciprocated towards Her Mi\Joty and the llrit
ndi people. You do not, you cannot, appreciate
too highly the importance to the people both ••!
Great Britain and the United States of maintain
ing the most free and friendly commercial and
political intercourse with each other. This de
j sirnbleeud will be best secured by a frank and
manly diplomacy so congenial to tbe character

your own character.

Pennsylvania, if not distiiiguiidied by the same
circumstances of ojien outrage, is of still more
inexcusable character and pernicious tendency.

* There is coiunderablo excitement about the
■nines in Sonora. The wealthy, who formerly
kept so shy of them, are embarking freely In
mining operations, and wo shall soon see how
many of these glorious reports of mineral wealth
are true. One thing is certain, the operators of
this country entertain no such absurd notions of
rich ore as are circulated elsewhere.
I hear that another rich silver mine has been
found in Arizona, but cannot vouch for the truth
of it. The Tubuc mines continue as rich as over,
and the company train is this moment down hero
fur stores and quicksilver to set tho new ma
chinery in motion. Trade along tho frontier is
lively, owing to tho extensive demands for pro

(•v irgin Military InMltuir.
As the Georgia Military Institute is now a State
institution, its prosperity and welfare is the com
mon eoncerh of every eit ‘men. Discipline, organ
ization and sy stem is necessary to its success.
Judgement and sound discretion un the part of
Faculty and obedient* and order on lire part of
the ('inlets are mutual dependencies on which the
whole organism of a Military Academy eau safe
ly rest. In the difficulty at the Georgia Military
Institute of recent date, where the Ist Uluss were
expelled for disobedience of orders, there is in our
judgment no cause for complaint against the
judgment of lire Court-martial or tho offieora who
pronounced it. The Ist Class were granted leave
of ahseneo until a certain hour to visit thu Court
room in the oily of Marietta where was fit be pro
nounced a sentence against a culprit. Con
irary to exportation the ease was delayed and
the Cadets remained beyond the time for which
leave was granted. This act of disobedience was
surely a grave offence in tire eyes of all military
men and in an Institution where not only the
spirit, but tire very letter oi lire law had to bo
olioycd. The quo mu'mo in this transaction was
tho cause of offense more than tho time lost in be
ing absent from quarters. A Court-martial bad
no other duty than t.> tiud tho Ist Class guilty of
a disobedieuee of orders upon sufficient testimony.
The mercy of the Court in this particular instance
may or may not have been granted according to
the motives w hich actuated thu offenders to trails
gross the rules.
The discretion of the Court could have been
exercised without a breach of its dignity or sell
respect, if it were showu that the Cadet* intended
no reflection upon the officers or direct violation
of tho spirit of the leave of absence granted. It
is a matter of congratulation with the friends of
this Htato Institution that it has a corps of flue of
ficers at its head. They are well-known for thoir
character, position and capacity to teach. If the
Superintendent, however, was a man of less sen -
sitiveness and impulse uud cooler judgment and
discretion, the Institution, over which he presides
w ith much credit, would bo more prosperous aud
flourishing.
Maim;act tiring at the South.
Tho question bus been repeated quite often, re
cently. why do n<*t manufacturing establishments
flourish at the South ? Wo think the query eu
pablo of solution without reflecting disparagingly
upon theprwiitnbU-nch.’ us the hu-incs*. It. i.-.
perhaps, proper to state that, it the question as-
Mtmes, as it seems to, any great diflcrcurc be
tween the results ,| that employment in tlm
Northern and Southern States, and asserts its
invariable success in Ihefonm r and uniform fail
ure in the latter, it assumes vvliat i- not true. The
manufacturing records, wc imagine, would not
exhibit a very satisfactory illustration of the thrift
of ynnkcydoui. Yet il is, doubtless, true that
the largest proportion of failures occur in the
South.
One reason for thi%is, that the term fail are docs
not bear an identical signification in the two lati
tude-, or, rather, the facts which outer into and
compose tim meaning <.f the term me ditto rout.
In common, business parlance, that enterprise is
denominated a failure when the capital employed
therein does nut yield a remuneration equal to
the general price ot money. In the two sections
of the country this standard is not the same. At
tho North, the employment which yields an
annual return of four or five percent, is cotmdt-r
----/ cd remunerative, while, at tho .South, miicli a
dividend would hu submitted to only until a
change of in vest incut could be made.
Another and, perhaps, tho chief reason is that
in the North, such establishments are put in mo
ti<m after the proper manner. The buildings and
machinery are paid for, and a sufficiently large
cash capiiul is furnished with which to operate.
With us, on the contrary, it is generally the case
that the building- and a portion of the machinery
arc paid for, and, in ibis imperfect ami maimed
condition, the mill is left to complete itself, with
its meager earnings, and provide the material for
manufacturing. The consequence i-, that limy are
forced to borrow money at from Bto 12 percent,
and, as they arc frequently obliged to submit to a
ruinous sacrifice on their goods, or dispose of them
upon long time, thej-adopt tbo latter, contract
bad debts, and take many other steps on tho
beaten road to bankruptcy and ruin. Wo happen
to bo acquainted with tlm early history of two of
those institutions, and such is uu epitomo of tlm
brief and troubled existence of each.
Apart from such difficulties, ■which arc by no
means necessary, bore is no reason why man
uliicCuring should not be eminently profitable in
the South. Tho raw in ate rial is certainly cheaper,
tbo price, of living cheaper than at tlm.North, and
the difference in tho wages of labor too incorftdri
erahle to be estimated. Tho fact that success has
always rewarded tlm business, when If has been
begun upon the proper basis and conducted with
becoming energy, it- matter of enrollragoment to
cupihiliHe to embark in it. If any arc skeptical
in reference to the latter proposition, wc can de
monstrate its truth by an uppeul to several eases
in point in ami near this city.

occurred a lew weeks ago. Mr. Scott, who is a

him, except his own confession. Air. Scott stal
ed the foots to the jury from his own month. The
case was submitted under the charge of the
Court, and without argument. The jury, iu a
low minutes, returned a vurdet of “not guilty.”
file Huhstauce of the testimony was about as
follows:
Kphraim, the negro killed, came to Mr. Scott’s
house on Sunday morning, sober; in the evening,
be showed evident signs of having been drinking.
Air. Scott, who has negroes of his own, was anx

Tu attempting to arrest him for the purpose of
carrying him before bis master, Air. K., Kphra|m
made very forcible resistance,when Mr. Kcottpick

across tho head. The negro fell, ami Air. Hcott

the cord was brought, and on taking up the m -

Atari AVur!
By the arrival of the Arabia, yesterday, iui
portant news is brought from the Old World.
Austrian troops are in motion for Italy, and
Franco is much excited. Sardinia, with whom
Austria is engaged, is apparently unxiousfor war;
having received, with disapprobation, the pacific
declarations of Napoleon in lire Moniteur, which
gave such hopes of peace. It is a source of regret
witii all the tYiendaufConstitutional freedom, that
Victor Emanuel, who has contributed so much to
European progress and civilization, should now
deluge Europe in blood to gratify a selfish am
bition and thirst for territorial aggrandizement.
Piedmont has not been invaded: Austria has
committed no act of aggression. The Austrian
troops were ro inforowd only after an alliance was
formed with France hy her enemy and Louis Na
poleon had made his New Year's day speech to
Karon Hubttor. Victor Emanuel, no doubt, thinks
that Savoy and Piedmont, the Duchy of Genoa
and Sardinia too small a place for so great a per
sonage. France is in sympathy with him. The
war, it seetus, has begun. Austria vs. Sardinia
and Franco.
Echo Prisoners.
Though opposed at this tinre to a re-opening of
the Slave-trade, it is n matter worthy tho congrat
ulations of ttie South, tiial the prisoners recently
tried ill Columbia, ri. C'., for piracy, because en
gaged iu the slave-trade, have been acquitted.—
Tho laws must boobeyed, but the crime ought to
be adequate to the punishment. Slavery is a di
vine institution. Few Southern men will apolo
gise for it. Slaves, iu old time, went held by the
Priests. “A eojourner of a priest or a hired ser
vant, shall noteat of the holy thing. Kut if the
priest huu miy mud with hie money, he shall eat
of it, aud he that is horn in his house, they shall
eat of it” (Lev. XX11. 10.11). They might be
bought of the Cnnuaniios around or of strangers
living among the Hebrews. “Both thy bond rue n
uud thy bondmaids, which thou shall have, ehnll
of th> heathen that lire around about you ; of
them shall ye buy bondtnen and bondmaids.—
Moreover, of the children of the Htraugers that do
sojourn among you, of them shall ye buy Jtc.”
(Lev. XXV). Thu* were slaves recognized as
“property” und “money*” by Holy writ. It runs
through the Bible'and it would scarcely com
mand the faith of tbe world, if it sanctioned “pi
racy.” Founded upon the Bible, ns all our laws
are, it is not expected that Southerners at
least will hang those who take bondmen from
among the Heathen. Kut n<> argument is inten
ded in this paragraph. Our only object is to bring
into notice a law, which is tbe mark of Cain upon
our brow ami which ought to be erased from the
Statute book*. It was permitted to be engraft
ed us a law, when lueu could not distinguish
between property in elare* and property in
chattel and when slavery whs unjustly regard
ed as acaueer in our bosom. Those times, be it
said to the praise of Christendom, have passed
a way amidst the civilization uud intelligence of
the prevent day.

PLANTER S HOTEL, )
Con murs, Ga., April 20, fob J
To the Editor * q/” the Time*.
Gkxtlcukx : Notwithstanding I am citizen of
another State, and an entire stranger to the peo
ple of Georgia; still, I hope it iun,y nut he eo;.§
sidurud as undue presumption on my part, in of
fering for consideration, the opinions of an hum
ble individual, upon tho merits of your Gov
ernor.
Since visiting Georgia, I have had occasion to
puss oVcr the Western fc Atlantic Railroad sever
al times, which afforded abundant opportunity
for thorough information upon the merits of its
system of management and the character of its
employee*, which is all we require iu order to ar
rive at a correct conclusion as to the capneity and
worth ol those in chief authority. During a stay
ot over two membs upon the line of the road, 1
!iu\e hud tbe pleasure of making the acquaintance
of two of the officer only, Mr. I.e Uardy, the
Engineer in Chief, and Greageut at Chattanooga.
Hero, I Would remark, that H loss of either of
these gentleman, to the road, would indeed be u
loss to the State. Tho Uouductorr of passenger
train* are vary attentive to business, remarkably
polite and courteous to passengers, without being
obtrusive. Tire engineers are amoug the w*t
intelligent und eapuble to be found, and the *aine
may be said of the other responsible operatives,
l’bc machinery aud rolling stock seem to be
kept iu good condition, and under the manage
ment of Mr. L Hardy, tbe road bed is rapidly
aosinning a number one coaditiou. Ido not wish
to be understood as pronouncing tbe manage
ment of the Slate Road am perfect in every par
ticular, but I will make this assertion without
fear of successful contradiction, the “Western A
Atlantic” is the best managed railroad that I
have seen, as yol, south of the “Baltimore and
Ohio,” uotwithstanding 1 have traveled over a
great portion of tire (Southern roads, mostly in
\ irgiuiu, Kentucky, Teuuessue aud Georgia, aud
have been tor *oino years, familiar with their
different systems of management. Aud uot only
these, hut having exutuiued. at different times,
the principal mads iu the New England, the
Western and Middle States, 1 4*nn also state, that
there are numbers of roads iu those localities, that
are conducted in an infinitely inferior manner,
when compared with the Georgia State Rood.
Thu writer of this, having spent the greater por
tion of hi* life in connection with the manage
ment of railroads, fuels a degree of security iu ex
pressing hi* opinions upon that subject, at least.
\nd certainly uo one will accuse hiui of an at
tempt to uwurtl undue praise to either Governor
Drown or Dr. Lewis, when he states that he has
ever been an uncompromising Whig, and at this
t ime, most earnestly desires, and expect* to uurlc
for, a re-union of the old whig party. Kut para
mount to all party considerations and political
preference, should ever be held sacred aud pre
eminent, that high-toned honor which will ever
frown upon that class of place-hunters, whose ouly
road to the goal of their desires, lies over the vir
tues and merits of their opponents. Kut I am
happy to know that it is uot my wbigfriends who
are attempting to take undue advautnge of Gov.
Brown. If there is n whig iu the State who can
defeat the present Governor, 1 say let him ruu by
all means, provided he will pledge himself to con
tinue the policy now practiced upon th© Stute
Road, —that no man shall be either employed or
dismissed simply on account of bis political pref
erences, but tiiat every one shall stand upon his
merits; and never permit Gio road to become a
political gambling machiue, whereby the inter
ests of the people must sutler in order that the par
ty iu power may rule, it is doubtless a depar
ture from this old rule iu politics, that has (nude
the Western A Atlantic Road a solitary iuutance
ofgood management upon either a railroad or u
canal, when under tire control of a .State Govern
ment.
I have heard certain individuals complaining
of thu little bit of assistance, or rutber favors, that
Maj. Mark A. Cooper has received from the
Wertern A Atlantic road. Well, all 1 have to say
in reply to such is, that, for every dollar that
Alaj Cooper has so far received from tbo State,
she will eventually get fire in return. I wish
there were /ice thmieand mure Alark A. Coopers
in the South. If there were,alt our talk of “South
ern independence” would umount to something.
My opinion is. that we had better have fewer
“Conventions” amt more Manufacturing Associa
tions, by which means the great mineral regions
of Georgia. Alabama and itmicooe, which is
mure than equal to that of the entire A'orth , could
be made uvuilalde. A.

Wo perceive by tbo lionbuip ( Fain.mol county,
Texarqlndependent,,lLut n public meeting wus re
cently held there to take into consideration curtain
developments that have lately cuius to light in that
section, wit h reference to Abolitionism. Il uppeurs
that lucre is a society of the “Methodist Kpiauopal
Church North ‘ iu that Meet ion, und that the uphol
ders uud members of it are inimical to slavery, und
avow their design of exterpaling it. It appears
farther that there are several ministers, uud aUou
fereuoc ol them, which U the time of thu indigna
tion meeting was in scasiou at Timber Creek. A
committee of fifty was appointed to wait ou the
< .mfereneoand warn the members uot to prosecute
further the business of the Conference. It is tinted
• hat Bishop Jayne presided. The Committee
waited ou the Conference, and S. A. Huberts read
i he proceedings of the meeting to the Bishop and
iii iu utters. Ihe Committee and those who went
with them, some two hundred, were altogether cour
teous to the Conference. Two animal ( otiterunces,
it seems, have boon held, uud at the lute oue reso
lution.--in opposition to slavery were offered.
The Committee reported to a subsequent meet ing,
at Bonbam; and resolutions were adopted to tbo
effect that tho upholders oft be Boeieiy must cease
to pi .pagiiteanti la\ ery doctrines,either publicly
or pn> ately,thwt ill Bishops ministers of that or
any similar Ho. ty must Immediately leave and
never r ‘an , and that if any of the immUrsrun
not act up to the spirit of tho resolutions they
must leave tbo country, nr make preparation to do
so within six!)’ days. A Vigilance Committee was
appointed to Mcethui the resolutions were complied
with, and in case of uoii-uouipliunco, to enioree
them by Lynch law. Wbat course was adopted
by the Conference is not slated.
The meetings of the of the ciliJeun of Bonham
opposed t the Coulereuue appear to have len
conducted with moderation, while a firm detenni
nation wum evinced to protect themselves from
tho influence- relorcd to. The first resolution de
plored thu necessity which implied them to adopt
this course of action.
Wc are greatly surprised to learn that an anti
.-lavery annual Conference exist* in Texas. A
Conference embraces several churches and a num
ber of ministers.— X. O. Hulletin.

The following resolutions were adopted at a late
meeting of the Democratic party of Clafee county,
in this Slate. They are particularly opportune
at this juncture, as expressing thu opinion of thu
State Bights Democracy throughout the Southern
States.
“That while wo indorse the general policy of
the Administration of .1 allies Buchanan, we dis
sent from his views touchiug a protective tariff
and the construction of a Railroad to tho l’acifio
ocean, by aid of the Federal Government.
That wc uncompromisingly condemn the odious
doctrine of xquatter sovereignty promulgated by
Stephen A. Douglas, of Illinois, and that under
no circuinslauees would wo support him, or any
ocu entertaining similar views, for thu Presidency
of tho United States.”
Wo should have been glad if tho meeting bad
gone a little further and endorsed thu right of tho
South to nave slavery protected in the territories,
as insisted ou by the Southern Senators iu the
lute debate, nod if It had also declared that tho
I nlon ought uot to survive the election of a Black
Republican President. We are gratified to no
tice the unanimity with which the people of
Georgia have in their county meetings endorsed
the course of Senator Iverson and declared in
favor of hii re-oleetiou.—*£q/ctefq Spirit of tk%
