“Feed My Luib?.”

With deep impressive earnestnes?, nod silent

Tb “Son of Max” e'er inning. His last of earth'd
fOBM*#.
His bosom heaved with anxiou?love,for tenderly
lie grieved,
At leaving His loved followers, where doctrines
fetee deceived;
And now, tfith words of import, thus spake Ilia
last decrees,
gimon, thou Sou us Jonas, dost love me more than
these,
Yea, Lord, thou kno west I love thoe —for Polar
loved the Lord—
Then ‘ feed my lambs'’ Hu ottered in a deep and
touching chord,
Aye, emotion thrilled that bosom 30 full of hea
ven’s own thought,
Now yearning for “111? little liml>*, whose path’s
with dangers fraught,
He saith to him the second time, to enjoin Ills
last behest,
“Simon, thou Son of Jon**,* dost thou love me
the beat 7
“Yea Lord, thou knewest T love thee,” didst
l’eter grieviug say,
“Then feed my sheep"—(for when we love, the
will is to olrey.)
Now, e’er He hadst them farewell, three time* this
i-barge lie gave
To Peter, Son of •Touts, a bold man and a brave.
Tbws Jesus by this mild rebuke, his self-reliunco
warned,
For thrice he bad denied his Lord—when railed
upon and scorned,
And e’en by outh affirming it—thus one sin more
involves,
But bitterly had Peter learned, h*w vain nro
man’s resolves.
With calm impressive lien and tone, of thrilling
earnest plea,
H© saith thou Sou of Jonas, oh lovest thou still

Thus Peter spake, as o'er his brow * u .'hade of
sadness fell,
ok Lord thou knowest all thing*, and that 1
lovest thee well,
Then with a calm benignant look, the loving
Shepherd bade
llim—"feed my Sheep” lest hungry, they'd scat
ter and be strayed.
Great Shepherd King, grant mo to make, one of
thy blessed fold,
And when we’er hungry feed ns, with “manna”
a* of old,
And when we’or weary, take us, to thy peaceful
loving breast,
And faint with life's o'er burdened cares, oh take
thy lambs to rest.

Judgt* Iverson amt •* Fire-eater “
We cheerfully give place to-day to u communi
cation from a distinguished correspondent, signed
” Fire-eater,” rejat.vo to Judge Iverson’s advoca
cy ol‘ the Pacific Railroad. It is admitted, as arc j
all respectful communication* concerning the in- j
torest and vrolfare of tho Democratic party, whetli j
or they coincide or not with tho views of tho Edi
tor*. The fiiuet is tho organ of tho Democratic j
purfy, ami its columns uro always open to it.* 1
friends, promising to give them a fair hearing up
on every questiou of public interest. In fact, they
are invited to it as the medium for a free inter
change of sentiment concerning the policy and
principles of the party.
The advocacy of a Pacific Railroad by Judge
Ivorsun has nut been, as supposed by our eorres- ‘
pondeut, endorsed by many county mootings. And *
lest our ot|fu euthusiatic admiration of hi* sound,
patriotic, southern senumouls is construed into a
committal to his views uprei thi? question, our pos
ition is reiterated to remove all doubt. To internal
improvements by the General Government, the
Tinun has always boon opposed, whether advocat
od by friend or loe. Regarding it unconstitution
al and antogsnistie to the fundamental doctrine? i
of the deuioeratie party.
On tho 13th of January 1859, when tho Pacific
Railroad Bill was under discussion iu the U. 8.
Senate, wc used the following language, to-vrit:
“The clause or clauses in the Constitution
which are appealed to in justification of the exer
cise of the power thus claimed by Congress, may
be Invoked with equal pertinency to warrant Fed- j
eral aid to any scheme tff Internal improvcmeui
which the wildest speculator tuny suggest.”
Again on 31st of January of the present year, we !
said :
“Asa Democratic doctrine, wo opposed the
building of n road to tho Pacific when .Mr. Buch
alum's letter first made Its appearance. We took
issue then, with tho President, whom we had con- :
tributed nil humble purl to elect; we are tut equally !
hostile to the measures to-day and rejoice over its i
defeat, us announced by tho telegraphic dispatch- j
es, iu the Semite of the United States.”
This explain* our position in regard to all works
of internal Improvement by the General Govern
meat. Judge Iverson, however, is not urged for
re-election un account of his advocacy of a Pacific ‘
Bailruud, but because of his firmness and intrepro
dity in announcing tho doctrine that tho South
would hold her rights in one hand and disuuion
in the other; that in the future she would resist
every compromise of her just demand*—that lit*
i would he prepared to load the ■South iu a * para
I lion rather than surrender one jot or tittle of her •
independence. In a word, for making a strong,
j southern, spirited address, unlike the many place- ‘
| hunter*, who hold a seat iu Congress. This is tin*
j issue w. make and upon it, the support of our dis- J
tinguished correspondent- ,i true fire-eater i*
i clain o 1 ami < XpeoUai.
But to show that the Democracy are opposed to j
that purl of Judge 1 Vernon's speech, where he ad
vocates the building Railroad by the General .
Go eminent, it is only necessary to refer to the
resolutions passed at their primary niceliug*. They
endorse the “*ow them ncnUuu.ntH” embraced in
hi* Railroad speech. In Harris county, tho follow
mg, among other resolutions, offered by that true
democrat, Hugh Al. King, Bsq., was adopted, to
wit:
je” That wo commend tho lofty patriotism ofSen
ator Iverson, as cxhibiteil by lum in his vindica
tion of Southern honor and Southern institutions.”
j In Karly county, tho following was passed:
” NVo endorse the course of our able and faith
ful Senator iu Congress, upon his position taken
| in defence of Southern rights.”
Nothing is sai l in either of these mooting*, and
’ purposely Too -about a Pacific Railroad. Geor
gia ignores this question, hen the rights, inter- j
cits ami honor ofthu South are bohlly defended j
by one of her own di*tinguished sons.
Supreme ( nun.
After four weeks Mntaion at Atlanta, the Su
premo Court ha* adjourned to assemble noon at !
; Miliodgeville. One hundred and eight i*aßen were j
’ dlsposoil of at this term and in a majority of in- i
J stances the judgement of tho Court wa* in uflirin- J
| ailou of the decinjon of the iuierior tribunal. Tin: .
I utmost harmony and good holing ex feted between (
j the Member* of the bur mid tho Judges. Tho j
| Court never made a more favorable impression.— J
The Judges, obliged a* they were to deliver their
decisions the morning after the day the cam-wore j
argued, seldom rested more than four or five j
hours. Gov. McDonald is completely fagged otif,
*o onerous and wearisome arc hi* duties. Wo un
derstand from rcliablo authority, that lie will
soon resign tho position he now bolds with such
distinguished honor and ability.

The Democracy of Montgomery county, Ain
bumu, held a meeting in the city of Montgomery
on Saturday last, for the purpose of appointing 1

j will he liehl iu that District iu May next. Great
harmony is represented to have , prevailed in the
| mocting -a fuel at which no rejoice, especially,
| iu view of the resolutions which were adopted.
I These are sound and strong enough to suit even

I lice, among the speaker* on the

Senator Iverson and his Friends
Me*ru. Edition : 1 see that several Democratic
meeting* have passed resolution* complimenting
, Senator Iverson for his Into speech mi the Pacific
rail read, and endorsing the same without quali
fication. What does this mean ? Is a system of
internal improvement by tho general government,
cither by donating land or money, a part of the
creed of Georgia Democracy? Do they now ap
prove what they have so long denounced ns un
constitutional and impolitic? I* Senator Iverson
to be landed to the skit .* for ably nnd eloquently
1 advocating this federal dogma ?
I havo been astonished to find Democratic
meetings giving their sanction to any such course.
If it were intended only to commend him for that
portion of hia .speech which assert* and vindicate.*
Southern Right*, then the resolution* of approval
’ should have so staled. I will not yield to the heat
of hi* friend* in doing him honor for every blow
lie may give in our defence; and while I do not
1 perceive that the Occasion upon which lie spoke,
: demanded any particular exhibition of Southern
’ spirit, yet wo can easily forgive tho utterance of
a good sentiment, though out of place, for the
, sako of the sentiment itself.
rs the re-election of Senator Iverson is urged
hy his friends because ho has shown himself rca
! dy, willing and zealous to maintain the equal
rights of the South, 1 should unite with them, in
i an humble way, most cheerfully; hut if his re
election is to he construed into un endorsement of
any such abominable scheme for public plunder
as the Pacific Railroad, TANARUS, for one, should look
elsewhere for a filter Representative and a more
orthodox Republican.

The Lakouu hi: Ciii v vssi. The break in

in addition to the conclusion which has been an
nounced of tho result of the trial, we should add a
word of comment, and wc do it in justice to the
community in which tho trial was had. It was,
naturally a quest iou of groat inieresr. Not only
was this the lirat trial which hud taken place iu ii
Houthorn State, under a law which had been pas?
ed for nearly forty year*, hut the policy and e*m
stitutiouiililv of tho iuw luid become a question
of earnest enquiry. Butin every singe of tho
case there was manifested that high propriety
and decorum, which, in the (,'ourtM of (his State,
have so lunch distinguished their proceedings.
| jTho challenges of'the prisoner? were fairly and
properly made. In Imilli case? hut a small por
tion of the challenges were niadu to which the ac
cused were end tloil. On thepart of the prosecu
tion, the right to ■•( aside was exercised, also,
with moderation. Tb© examination ot (he wit
nesses for the prusec.utiou, a? well as for the de
fence, was conducted with great skill, and there
was, in the whole trial, th© greatest courtesy, uni
ted with flic highest zeal and ability. The rul
ing? of the Court upon thi’ question? submitted
to it were received invariably with the respect
due in such cases, and the ready submission of
the counsel was tho evidence of undoubted con
tidcuce in the tribuua! to which they uddregsed
themselves.
It is not our wish to institute comparisons be
tween Juries in this and other sections of th© Uni
ted Htntrs, in which questions of au uxciliug cha
racter ure submitted. But it i due m this case,
to any, that all the proceedings have been marked
by that temper in all of the departments of tho

{ laid a scheme with one of the servants belonging

it is said when our friend lifted tin- veil tho negro

Juarez, iu his reply said—
-1 can a. sure you that Mexico has now entered
the happy path, from which, it is to be hoped, she
will nuverdeviute in the future, since those fttnu
tioiuirie* and chief*, who to-day support tho cou

ile -.i and and hope that the government of both Re

Amid the firing of cannon, martial music, the
ringing of hoH* and joyous shout* of the popu

Arc they not “national,” in the true conntitu

“Southern Right?"men ? Arc they not “Inde

If they arc not “National,” in the right nenm,
w tear they will fall under the condemnation of
“the conservative element?.”
If they are not “Southern Rights,” their boii

If they arc not “Independent,” what is to be

NVo hold that genuine “Independence” of the

“Southern Rights.” in springing out of original

It is customary for the people on ordinary oc

The monthly payment* into the treasury, the
loud murmuring? of disappointed aspirants for

Death of Mr. f has. P WorHHHi
It i* our*ad office to record the death of our
friend, C'harle* P. WornuM, Kaq., of thi* city,
who was drowned in Flint river, Drawlbrl coun
ty, on tho 15th iuid. In the bloom of life, *ur
rouiulod by * largo throng of friend*, who knew
his many virtue* and manly bearing—h© ha* thu*
come to an untimely end. The circumstance*, a?
related to u* by one, conversant with the tact*, arc
about these:
On the lath inst., Mr. Worniiut and hi* brother
-in-law, Mr. Gibson, loft the home of tho latter to
visit hi* plauution about live mile* distaut on Flint
river. After their arrival at the puintof destination,
the horses of Mr. Gibson made tliolr escape. Mr.
Wornum undertook to row himself in a canoe to
tho residence of Mr. Gibson. Coming in contact
with the shoal* of the river, the canoe 1* supptfaefi
to have capsized, so bruising the body of tho oc
cupant, as to disable him from swimming safely
to the shore. The body wa* ur fottmTr~though
the river wm diligently searched—until it had
Ini.l in the water near six day*. Then it rose U*
the surface from the thundering in the elements.
He wn* buried in Crawford county. Wa* only
twenty-seven year* of age nt the date of the sad
occurence. Our sympathy l* extended to the be
reaved relative*.
(otion tnltlvaltnn.
The effort on the part of the cotton manufactu
rers nnd consumers of the Old World, to enlarge
the producing area of the staple, ha* been ns per
tinacious a* it has been unsuccessful. Researches
have been instigated and prosecuted by gv\em
inent* and experiment* been
made with an energy and zeal worthy of a better
result, until not a country within the limits of
the. torrid and temperate /ones bat has reap nuled
experimentally to tho enquiry, “Can you produce
Cotton?” Nowhere, except in the Cotton belt of
North America, has tho question been affirmative
ly and satisfactorily answered. We say tntinfnc
tenVy because, whilst it is true that the English
have succeeded in demonstrating the capacity of
India to produce tiie staple, it i? also true thar it*
production there cannot be made remunerating,
and ouly a very inferior quality is furnished at
lost. Iu Algeria, it is pretty wull ascertained
that the experiment will result iu a costly failure,
and the French Govorntuent, which bus hacked it
with it? treasure and sustained it hy its bounties,
show a growing disposition to abandon tho pro
ject.
Those result*, which have been-obtained under
circuuiHtauecs so auspicious and encouraging to
the hope for better thing*, will have the efleet to
check the disposition of government* and capi
talist.* to act upon the faith,which cotton mission
aries arc everywhere proclaiming, that the staple
can be raised elsewhere tluin in .the latitude and
soil which nature has adapted to it* production.
Spice* cannot be grown in New York, nor own
Indian Corn be raised iu Sumatra and Borneo,
and, however discouraging and humiliating the
conviction, the lord* of Manchester will have to
udinit that cotton can be produced in perfection
and with profit only iu the United State* of
America.
Opposition 4'OHvrmlou
There is a difference of opinion among the press
of the American party us this State, us tu the
policy of runuiug an opposition candidate for
Governor in the approaching Ganvnss. Houre
arc of the belief that no issue upon State polities
can be made that will defeat the present Gover
nor—that many of the Americans are satisfied
with him and will vote for him. if he is a candi
date —that the rank? us the Americans will be di
minitihed and that the result of tho uuuvobb wilj
exhibit more wcukuc.-.? than really exist? in the
party—that no good man cares tube sacrificed
without a hope of success.
Others ure more desperate aud have convinced
their own judgment, that the American party may
succeed, albeit they have been diminishing iu
numbers since lhs.> and have inode their Lest
light.
Our counsel is not needed and is not givon.*—
While satisfied that tho Americans cannot gain
much eclat by a contest in October, yet policy
suggest that they be driven into a struggle where
the overpowering numbers of their combutunt*
would crush and beat them down.
The Mucou Journal dr Meteeutjer (American)
says:
“With the light? now before us, wc are opposed
to holding a (eubernatariul ConveutteU this your.
Upon what issue would our friend? ol tho !{• pub

could uuitc.”
Iwtnuu Meetings.
The Savannah Republican feigns to think that
the endorsement of Senator I \ erson'f South* ru
sontimeutshy many county moeiiug> in tho Stale
are nothing more than a “annulling bras- or a
tinkling symbol.” Aside from tbo reflect ion it
casts upon the judgment of inauj I nest u.en iu
utterance of such u tent intent, its w his doubt
levs father of Ike thought. Thcexireme nation
alisin and anti-Hoiithernism of our temporary -
uot conservatism is the distinguishing charac

rifices the purest instincts of true independence
ami genuine patriotism. *Htill it falls into the
current of public opinion, and regards Judge Iv
erson as suitable as any sspirunt for Heuatorial
honors.
The resolutions adopted at county meetings
speuk the sentiment of tho people. The masse*
are moving in favor of it unui, wlmse chivalry
and devotion to our Constitutional rights is wor
thy their appreciation an ingratitude. Before this

it is to be tested the fidelity of Judge Iverson to

have made adequate arrangements for tbo accom
modation of all lhu.iiolc#*tea who may he present,

thi* is said enough is said, H* the open-hearted
hospitality oi our neighbor* i* a* widely known

Thu Yiokaburg Run, of tho 19th, hnstlie follow
ing remark* in relation to the approaching Con
vention :
“i t is anticipated that the Convention which is
to meet here in Maj , will be largely attended
and tbat much good will How from its action. It
will be composed of the flower of Southern chiv
alry and Southern intellect, and under such cir
cumstances it would he strange, indeed, if its de
liberation* tailed to oxurui?u un influence most
salutary, and keep alive a spirit favorable to pat
riotism. The object of thi* Convention is good,
and the motives of those who participate in them
for the most part are above suspicion, and these
circumstances alone, ih the absence of any other,
should lie sufficient to insure their perpetuation.
Within the purview of the Convention, which
will assemble here in a few weeks, comes every
thing that rpiutef to tho imcllctnal, moral, edu
cational and industrial development of the South.
That the delegate* will fulfill thu expectations of
the public, ami devote their time and talunt* to
the task of creating a healthy public opinion in the
Booth, we hope may bo tbp ease. And that they
will pl'ove tbuuiselvu* equal to the exigence of thu
occasion, and perform the duties that may de
volve upon them with an eye single alone to the
glory of thoHouth, and the perpetuity of her in
stitution*. we will not permit ourself to doubt for
a moment.”
Several States have already appointed delegates
to the proposed convention: and, from what we
have seen, we infer that it will be a talented, re
spectable and influential assemblage. As yet, no
movement looking to the appointment ot delegates

custom, heretofore, for the Governor to appoint,

New Orleans, and tb© Mayors of the respective
town* to do thu same thing on bohulf of the cor

There i* some contrariety of opinion in regard
to the propriety of holding these annual conven
tion*. For our part, wo can see no objection to
them. No harm, certainly*, qpu grow out of an
yearly convocation of respectable aud honorable
.Southerners. Hence, we have been somewhat
surprised at tho course of several of our coterapo
rarios. Not much surprised, however; for w©
are too wide awake to he greatly astonished at
I anything that occurs now a-day*.—.V 0 CVescewf.

Washington, April 21, 1859.
There is no doubt in my opinion, that the Pre
sident will endca\or to procure from Nicaragua
nil abandonment of the absurd, aud useless pro
vision which is attached to the new treaty, requi
ring Ure U. S. govcrdiirent to enforce her own
laws f..r the suppiunsiou of filibiiHlerism. The
government professes to desire to do this, aud has
not shown itself very backward in it. TbeU, S.
\©vy ha? twice broken up tho expeditions of
Walker, and will probably be ready tod© it again
particularly if the treaty arrangement be made
by which ihe l’. 8. government cun direct its na
val force to hind and roped or bring away the
filibuster? without the hazard of committing “a
grave error.”
Gun. Laiuar i* about toretare, and the treaty
will probably he neat hack by anew minister.—
Were tilt* treaty submitted to the N’enute, with
the unf{-filibuster provision, it would be amended
b.V that body so u? to strike out the provision,
though it would not ho considered a? a mutter of
much importance, it would appear u? a slur up
on tire character of lire government and the
country, and moreover It would expose the Ad
ministration to severe reproaches from some of the
Southern pro-filibuster men.
1 repeat that the Treaty is very acceptable to
this government in every particular, except that
which I have nbovementfoued. It doe? give this
country the right, in case of emergency, to land
an armed force for the protection of the inter
ests of the United .States and th© world on th©
Isthmus.
The State Department i? advised that Sir Win.
Gore Otiseley has trsn-mitte and to the Nicaraguan
Government a treaty, by which the British claim
to the Musquito „ Protectorate i* entirely aban
doned; Grey town made a free port; u small terri
tory set apart for the use of the remnant of tb©
Musquito race; and a trifling duty imposed on
imports into Grey town, for th© purpose of forming
a fund for a small annuity for the Muiquito
Chief.

Mr. Illlllard

on Tuesday last, at Tuskegue, in u speech abound

much of the opposition which bus existed in his
party, Ut hi? candidacy for Congre?s in this Dis
trict.
W© were prevented hy sickue?? from hearing
this speech, but understand that it was so
thoroughly braced all around, that few oould ob
ject to it.
Judge Rice wa? posted to reply to it on Wed
nesday. Hi? objection doubtless is, that Mr. Hil

Drum iia< v in Rhode I?i.ani>.—Among th©
resolution* of the recent Democratic Htate Con
vention of Rhode Maud were the following:
1. l/reoleod. That the conservative principles,
broad buds and iiutional character of the Dem
ocratic party, are a guaranty for its perpetuity
a? the great party of the country,
2. menalred, That Ihe effort? of the President
of the United Htutos to annex by purchase the
Island id’ Cuba; hi? recommendation of • reve
nue tariff, giving efficient incidental protection to
home industry; hi? just appreciation of the natu
ral tendency of otir country to expansion; hie
vigilsucu in protecting the live? are! property of
our frontier population from lawless aggressions ;
and bis able management of our foreign affairs;
all assert hi? emineal fitness fur. the Cbief-
M agist racy, and entitle him to the nulled sup
port of Ihe Democratic party.
3. Hemolrul, That thc i principle of non-inter
ference by Doll grew iu th© internal concern*
not only of th© Htufes but of the Territories, is
til? only practicable principle by which the con
tinual agitation of Un* slavery question in Con
gress can be brevfilled ; un agitation which not
ouly distracts the attention of Cougrais from
UHoful legislation, but promote© sectional preju
dice, and thereby weakens the tics of national
brother-hood: and thut thi? principle, having
been originally laid by the Democratic
party, and being now acqukaced iu by a large
majority of tbe people ought to b consistently
maintained and honestly applied.
