Mr Trippe on the English BUI.
In another column may be found an article
from the Enquirer, headed “Mr. Trippe aud the
English Hill,” to which we desire briefly to reply.
It will he seen that our ootemporary, continually
lashed as it is for desiring to defeat Mr. Crawford
lor voting fcr the English bill, while recommend- ,
ingone of its vigorous supporters, Mr. Zollieoffer,
for the highest office in iho'gift of the people, and j
applauding .Mr. Trippo as a “faithful” public j
servant, is exhausting its patience and exclaim- j
in * ln tht? agony of despair, that it is “passing
-irang, ‘that weeannot understand how reluctantly
Mr. Tripi>e voted for the Kansas “swindle.” It
insinuates that wo persist in loading Mr. Trippe
with the popular odium which rests upon the sup
porters of the English bill, while in fact be was 1
not “responsible” for its passage. Let this mut
ter be settled right hore, and let the candid, un
prejudiced reader judge how far Mr. Trippe is
“responsible” for a measure, which the opposition j
l )res ’ denounced as a disgraceful surrender of our
rights. If the proof fails, then it is hoped (hut an
impartial public sentiment will construe Mr. 1
Trippe’s vote in the same light in which it holds
the votes of other Congressmen. What says the !
Enquirer in upology for Mr. Trippe ? Hear it, j
“We have several times showed that Mr. :
Trippe */i riiked that bill—tried to procure time ‘
tor iis discussion, so as to come at an exact un-
derstanding about the effect of the land ordinance
submission feature —and finally voted for it only
t” enable the South to present an undivided front
in Congress. The bill was the concoction and
roHifimnnr of the Southern Democracy. and they i
are responsible for it—not the six or eight South
ern American* who reluctantly went along with
them to prevent them from making a still more I
disgraceful .surrender of the claims of the South.
Mr. Trippo** short speech on tho bill will show
all this.”
The very reasons offered above for Mr. Trippe'*
anootiun of the Euglish bill, would apply ©tiual
ly well as objection to it. First, Mr. Trippo “di
l\l *d tho bill *” Is this a plausible excuse for his
voting for it ‘f Does this exculpate him from
Uamu more than these men who liked it? On
the contrary, does it not weigh against Mr.
Trippe? Is it not an additional reason why he
should have voted against it wee those men who
voted for it ?
If tho Enquirer'e theory be true, Mr. Crawford
usd others who voted in accordance with their
judgment and duty are more to be reprehended
ilian Mr. Trippe, who voted against his inclina- !
tions and in direct conflict with his duty. In the
one case, the rights of the South were violated
without a knowledge of the faet; in the other, it
was wantonly done, with the startling amiounco- !
ment falling hot from his lips ! Who lx the most :
“responsible?” He wtoo did his duty conscien- 1
eiously or ho who knew it but did it not ? Let the
er determine ?
Secondly. The A 'nijnirrr again excuses Mr.
Tripps'* vote for the English hill because ho
‘•tried to procure time for it* discussion, so as to
come to an exact understanding about the tjftet
of the land ordinance submission feature.”
I Pray, what idea had Mr. Trippe as to the
• of the “Hubinuwioa feature” in the bill ?
“as he dull of comprehension bid ho not in
vestigate it ? Could he possibly understand it ?
If not if there were grave doubts about it—if it
like a “surrender”- -if it bote that uupres j
blindly ? Is it not a safe rule to oppose any
measure the effeet of which might militate against
the South ? Ought Mr. Trippe to he excused for
votiug against bis inclinations and in the dark
, and the democrat*, who voted with him, in the
Aight and according to their duty, l*c condemn
ed?
Again. “Thu bill was the concoction and cum
promise of the .Southern Democracy, and they are
responsible for it,” say a the Enquirer. Ah! what
made them responsible for it ? Could not the
Americans have voted against it ami defeated it,
notwithstanding their affection {?)for the “South
orn Democracy ?” Surely It was not expected
that the South Americans would refuse vote !
agantsl a bill, because the democrat* “concoct
ed” it ? This is doing us “Uouor ovaruiuuh.”
This is hiving the democrats better than the
South? It is sacrificing the latter to preserve j
the harmony of the former. We protest against
being made idols of this way. W arc not the
‘•keepers*” of the South Americans, and should
not he held responsible for their acts.
Lastly, the Enquirer say*, that the Southern
Democracy arc the ones who passed the English
bill, and not the “six or eight South Americans”
(enough to kill the hill) “who reluctantly went 1
along with them to prevent them from
making a more dUgrecful surrender of the j
claims of the South.” What a bountiful sight! j
the South Americans led, like sheep to the altar, |
surrendering the South -against their will—con
trary to their judgment—and all to prevent the
Democrats from doing worst?! The alternative j
was not presented! The South Americans had •
the power in their hands. They defeated the
admission of Kan sox with the pro-slavery Con
stitution: they could have likewise defeated the .
English bill with the laud swindle.
What’ Arc South American* to send Repre- j
seutntive* to Congress who have not the nerve to |
exercise the right* of an enfranchised manhood:
to vote against a bill if they dislike it; to oppose I
u ‘disgraceful surrender’ of the South ? Ami mus j
they he excused.Wause they arc in a lean minor- j
ity aud not held responsible? But, say* the En
gnirer, we should judge of Senator Iverson’s vote
upon the Diplomatic bill by the same “tests,”
that wc do Mr. Trippe’*. Precisely. Judge
Iverson not uni yprotetUsd against the one clause j
in the Consular and Diplomatic bill, vis: to ap- ,
propriate $30,000 to carry out .the President’s
contract to educate the Echo's returned African*,
but also voted against this clause. True, he voted
t„r the hill, which embraced this
.among a hundred other important section*. Not 1
s>, with Mr. Trippe. Tho English bill was voted
for a* an entirely—-to strike out the land ordi- ;
nance was to defeat the bill. There was but one
question involved. Upon this, Mr. Trippe voted
iu the affirmative. By no parity of reasoning can
tho votes of Judge Iversonjind Mr. Trippe lie rc
garded in the same light.
But emmgh. We submit the question to our
readers. If Mr. Trippe and Mr. Hill, who dislik
cd tho Conference hill- -who felt It was lurren
dciing the South—deserve le* eensurc for aid
ing in its passage than the Congressman, who
raised his voice in it* favor, believing in bis
beartof hearts that he wa* conscientiously doing
his duty, and that it wa* u measure that would
meet the approbation of the South aud the good
will of his constituents.

ItemoorntU t.utxmaterial Convention.
A press ot editorial matter has prevented us
trorn expressing an opinion upuu the proceedings
of the late Democratic Convention un till the pres
ent time. The re-uunliuation of Gov. Browu by
a uiiii a //nous vote, is hailed by the Democracy of
Georgia with joy aud enthusiasm. True to the
noble instiucts of his nature, he has guarded the
interests of the State with marked ability and
economy. That he should hold the office anuther
term was no more than a tribute of justice to n
faithful, energetic, honest public servant. We
hoist his name at our mast-head, fully assured
that the people of Georgia will re-elect him, and
that ho will overcome all opposition in the coming
election. Seldom has a Governor won so much
public confidence and gained so much positive
strength during one term of office, ns has tho pres
cut incumbent.
We have no objection to the resolutions adop
ted at the Convention. They do not, in our
judgment,commit the Democracy of Georgia to
ihu Icderal Administration, as our American co
temporaries have woll said- After a personal
compliment to Mr. Buchanan, the resolutions
simply approve of his Inaugural address and an
nual messages to t’ougrea* upon the ut>ject of
la eery. This is nil. And surely few democrats
will object to it. Nothing is said of thfc policy or
acts of tho Administration, as tho Georgia Demo
cracy, actuated by principles more than love of
men, could uot eonsoionciously endorse of either.
Still, it would have been ungenerous to pass oon
deraatory resolutions, as the President stood with
ns upon Lecomptnnisui, vetoed land swindling
schemes, settled the question of t he right of search
with credit to the country, and suppressed rebel
lion in Utah. Then, wo think the Deuioc
racy can go forth to victory upon this plat
form. We are met by a party which enunciates
no principlee. They remain dumb aiul light for
tho spoils. When such is evidently the fact,
there is no necessity for a breach in the Demo
cratic walls. Keep the banners up aud the senti
nels on the watch, and nil will be woll. Lot dis
sensions, if any, he healed, let the waters of
Marah cease to flow, let brotherly feeling prevail
aud let the banner of the party with Constitution
al principles triumph!

Mobile and t.lrard Kali road
Ed. Enquirer I learn with surprise and re
grot that there in opposition to the re-eloction of
Mr . Howard to the office of President of the
Mobile and Girard Railroad Company, aud that
“® City Council of Columbus, representing S2OO
- ol the Stock, have indicated a disposition to
east the vote ot the city against him. I ‘pun what
just ground can such action bo based ? Cortaiuly
n man who has ever been oouuected with the
Koad has done more to promote its success than
‘ a, \ * ,ow *‘rd. \\ hen he consented to become its
President, the Road was confessedly a failure.—
It was largely in debt, and although the debt was
incurred honorably and for value received to the
Kott although it could not have been finished
as tar us it was without contracting the debt still
the debt existed, and there were uo means either
to pay it or to go ou with the Road bevoud Silver
Klin. Ihe termer Directors were powerless, and
could not. raise another dollar, either by loan or
subscriptions. At this eritioalstage ofits fortunes,
when all that had been expended was about to be
lost.. .May Howard, at the urgent request of the
stockholders, and particularly of the people of
Columbus, came forward and assumed therespon-
Sihilityot saving the Road from destruction.—
” w ~u k “ ow untiring and Herculean efforts
were made by him to secure subsoriptions and
reivc tho. Hoad. He suooeoded, even beyond
expectation, and oven raised money enough to
Py the debts ot the Company and push the lloud
forward. It is true, that more time had been con
sutned in completing it to Union Springs than
was either contemplated orpromised. but we must
all remember the great difficulties which had to
be encountered in the wain of funds and tho ex
pensive character of the work itself. It is cer
tainly not giving too much praise to Muj. How
ard to say that no other man in the country could
I|,VO uwumpliahuil what has bocn dono in tho
aauu> nine and with the same reaoureon. The
Koad waa run out (not bolero) hut year to tho
toot of tho 81dg.,, and for tho put season to the
■uimmt ol the Ridge itself, and within live mile,
of tho Spring,. Tho city of Columbus was thus
enabled to draw a large quantify of tdu from
tnat section whioh it never before had, and which
lias added thousands to the wealth ot our people.
And now the Uoad may be considered ns being
finished to Union Springs, whilst though the in
ti uonoe und active exertions of Mai. Howard it is I
going on below that point, and spirit has !
been awaken ull along the lino towards Mobile for ‘
lIM ItVlmilnm t.. .1.... ‘. _ ...
oxton um to that city. If any man can push
the Road ou to a final success, it is Muj. Howard.
Ho is mure lamiliar with all the hearings of the
subject than any other man, has more character
or such enterprises, and shares more of the pub
-10 ootilldtmce in In. obilit;, ,m W „,) u ,
than any man in Georgia or Alabama. To su
persede him now. would, in uiy opinion, throw a
damper upon the prospects of it* farther exten
■-ton and final completion from which it would
never recover. Alaj. 11. may have made enemies
-no ] resident of the Road can avoid it - person
al interests and private considerations will ever
arise to interfere with and thwart the most honest
and praiseworthy eflorts to accomplish the great
ends in view. W lion the Road Is finished to ITi
*“n > l ,r,n K* ft d put iu operatic!), and the work is
transferred boyoud that point, the violent opposi

allowed t„ develope his policy mid proceed with
the Road towards its southern end without farther
difficulty. 1 should consider It had policy us well
as ungrateful to displace Mnj. 11. at this'time.
Ihe completion of the Rond to Union Springs,
at least, will boa monument to his energy and
anility, and ho ought in common justice to he al
lowed to enjoy the triumph. Who is to take his
place, it he is not re chosen President ? Is there
anyone in Columbus who is both competent and
willing to undertake it ? I do not know of one.
Is Columbus willing to entrust the mu l to the
hands of any one residing at Union Springs, whose
interests and local and State pride would create
no sympathy for our city or its trade ? It is now

Let the people of Columbus and the City Council
beware hojr they tuko our Road out of the hands

have no interest to subserve which would not pro

County Delegates to the Third Congressional
Democratic Convention recommend Macon ns the

iug said Convention. We hope this proposition
will meet with general aceeptunce from the differ
ent County Delegations, although wo aro perfect
ly willing, a* our delfgates state in their card, to
yield to any amendment that a majority of the
delegates may propose. Macon is perhaps, the
most accessible and convenient point in the Dis
trict, mol with regard to the day above designat
ed, it may be urged :
Ist. It is in the week following the day fixed
upon by the Opposition party to nominate their
candidate.
2d. The Wesleyan Female College Commence
ment will taku place about thu same time, ami
will probably induce many delegate* to attend,
wh” might not otherwise be present.
3d. The Iverson dinner at Griffin will be on the
14th, aud consequently it will luf very convenient
for those delegate* to attend it, who may desire to
do so, after holding the Convention here.
Let the variou* delegations take these things
into consideration and have a definite under
standing among themselves a* soon as possi
ble.
We will cheerfully publish, and here Invite,
communication* on the subject from all the coun
ties in the district.

Dtmagoguhm Its Kffects
It would be well for society and tho world, It’
there were certaiti tests for the siuceritv and hon
•dy of overy man’s professions. Virtue would
then shine forth iu all its brilliancy, while vice
und dissimulation would be strlpt of Its livery of
purity and truth. The mock patriot is now hail
ed with the same demonstrations of joy and en
thusiasm. us he who would shed his life's blood a
williug libation upon bis country's altar. The
influence and power of the spoils of office lead j
men into positions aud extravagancies inconsis
tent with a pure love of principle, and a real de
votion to the best interests of the people. It is
an easy mutter to become the prey of demagogues
aud the dupes of their studied hypocrisy. The
stronger our attachments to our institutions, the
loss suspicions are we of tho attachment of oth
ers. The high sounding notes of patriotism fall
with equal smoothness from iho lips of the heart
less demagogue, us from those of tho lover of his
Country. Ambition or corruption prompts the
one to manifest as much zeal for the public good
us the other, until the dearest names uro made
hateful aud a people often clieutod, are made to
conclude that nil public men are alike, and that
nohonesty dwells among politicians. In this statu
of uncertainty, whom they dare-trust, tho muck
patriot has the decided ad vautugo over the sincere
lover of his Country. There urc no acts to which
ho will not descend ; no menus so base but ho
calls them into requisition, uud no falsehood so
glaring thut he does uot publish to the world, it I
it but promise success. Wisdom, virtue uud pa- I
triotisui ur malic the sport of calumny and de
traction, while sclUshuoss, duplicity uud impu
dence uro the high attributes of greatness and
excelenco. The prico of liberty is forgotten; the
value of free institutions is overlooked uud tho
mock patriot witii tho loud cry of Country on his
lips, troads its Constitution under his feet to build
up a faction or ensure the triumphs of a party. —
The intelligent reader must determine which of
the political parties of tho present day these re
marks are applicable aud wbut politicians they [
have reference to.
In overy republican government, there must
be diversity. If all are united iu time of peace, it
! betokens universal enthusiasm or universal cor
ruption. Upon theso necessary and important
divisiom; the demagogue lakes his stand. With
eye fixed alone on his aggruudixeiueut, he scans
with care Iho chanoes of party success. Without
principles, either moral or political, he soon be
comes Giu clamorous ebumpiou of a party name.
His party friends ho proclaims honest, virtuous
aud wise; his opponents ho villifies os dishonest,
corrupt und ignorant. Reckless alike of truth,
us of principle, lie makes the political arena too
dirty for the pure, uud too turhuiuut for the
peaceful. The public atmosphere is polluted, the
public taste is vitiated, and the pretended patriot
become* the triumphant leader of u party. Al
ways ready to pamper popular prejudice uml ad
minister to the Bullish feelings of his followers,
he novur hazards popularity by correcting an er
ror or enforcing a truth. It is not necessary, in
this brief essay, to follojr him iu his triumphant
career, until like Brennus, he casts his sword in
-1 l 1 ‘jsSAtoirtlAj |.'r
litieal field be thus abandoned to the seltish and
j ambitious ? Should good men fear to enter the
field of strife and battle for the rights and liber
ties of their fellow-men ? We unhesitatingly ans
wer, no matter how polluted the atmosphere, no
mutter how filthy the arena, the contest should
not bo abandoned to the unprincipled and the
vicious. The same spirit of patriotism, which
prompted our revolutionary soldiers to shed their
blood in deleueo of tlio country should actuate the
Christian patriot now to stand fearlessly in sup
i purl of the Constitution—to strike otf the shackles
jof inequality—toelevate the South in the Union
I -to resist every compromise of just and inalien
able rights. Ho whose character should suffer in
such u contest will have the consciousness of hav
ing done his duly lor the rights of mau, and can
exclaim:
Jl this be wrong, he crime in this,

ed that s2o,inio worth of wild pigeons are caught
iu Essex county, Virginia, every season. As
they mcII for about one dollar per dozen, this
makes the number caught about a quarter of a
million. The Haluiu Observer gives this account
of the way they are caught:
The pigeons are attracted to particular parts of
the wood hy the strewing id’ grain in au open
space cleared of the brushwood for the purpose,
lu this way, they arc not only tolled around the
spot where traps are to he sot and familiarised
with the ground, but are well fattened before be

to the spreading of the net. When a sufficient
number hit’ c congregated to make it worth while
to entrap them, their grgin is saturated with
whisky, whioh steals awuy their eilley brains as
it does silly men’s bruins, and they bocome will
ing stupefied victims of the trappers. The net ia
act in auoh a way that, by the use of young sap
lings or drawing springs, it is made to jump over
the. den - flock of fnddied pigeons gathered in

are untangled in the meshes. The pigeons, we
uro told, when enticed hy the grain and whisky,
will huddle together in a compact mass, as if for
(lie special convenience and gratification of the
trapper. Whou once caught in the net, they
thrust theirTieads through the meshes, and the
