LET EVERT MAN IN GEORGIA HEAD
TUli FOLLOWING :
f From the Liberator of November Nth, edited by
Wm. Lloyd Garrison.
Kiiwaan LHmstt.—The Governor of this
commonwealth has answered, unequivocally, in
the srriRMATTvs, co the questions (Mr. Borden’s]
wh ther he is in favor of the immediate abolition
i.f slavery in the District of Columbia, and tho
lave trade between the several Stator. Edward
Everett now speaks tho language of a patriot, a
republican and a Christian. Wo believe it is tho
real language of his soul. When, a few years
-ince, he took the oppoaito ground, ho did vio
lence to his convictions of right, ami committed
a grievous error. Wo arc disposed to obliterate
nil that has gone before, and to commend him for
his hounrublc fours©. T<> refer invidiously to
what he said when public scntlmont was deeply
corrupt, would be migeiierou* : to charge him
with bring insincere, at the present time, would i
be unjust ; to accuse him of soofcmg popularity,
would be equally uncharitable. It is not yet n
popular thiug for the Chief Magistrate of this
i ‘am mon wealth to arow himself in favor of amnn
cipaliun ; and until be shall prove rocrcunt to his
present professions, it is to be taken for granted
ihat he means just what bo says. In our opin
ion he ought to receive the undivided support of
the anti-slavery voters of this Commonwealth :
nay, they have pledged to give him their support
inasmuch ;u he hue declared himself so be in
favor of their principles and measures.”
In the same paper, an anti -davery ticket is
proposed, headed by KnwAnt* I'vsntr for Gov
ernor.
From tho i roc American, Boston, 1841.
Luwarh Evf.iiktt.—“The suspense about Mr.
Everett's nomination hut really excited quite a
hurricane in the Northern I’mi. They are even
astonished at Southern arrogance and impudence.
This ii cheering, for it shows that they have a
little manly feeling left. Presses that are dumb
to the unutterable cruelties daily perpetrated
against the slave, are aroused to pious indigna
tion at the idea that slaveholders should nssuiuc
u eenaorahip over Northern opinions. But oc
cording to their old aervillty they nre forswearing
Mr. Everett's abolitionism ! They say ho is nut
au abolitionist at all, or not so in untr “odiout
.'cuae of the term/’ In this they betray utter
ignorance or consummate meanness. If J.\i
tenrd Everett in hot to all intent* and purponen an
muck un Abolitionint an Genii Smith or Arthur
Tuppan, he it a hypocrite. He was once au anti
abolitionist, but the proofs of his conversion are
unequivocal and on record, and we hope, for tho
credit of his Slate, ho will not deny them. We
shall give tho documents.
1. His letter to Mr. Quinoey. 2. llis letter to
Mr. Borden, previous to the last olectiou, at which
he was a candidate. <t. The endorsement of Wil
liam Lloyd Garrison, Editor of the Liberator.
AU we ask in the case is. that all parties will act
in view of the facts as they arc.
lu his letter to Mr. Quincey, Mr. Everett slates
his convictiou of the practicability, as well as the
advantages, of immediate emancipation, as pro
ved by the statements contained in a work writ
ten by Messrs. Thornes \ Kimball, containing
au account of their tour through the British
West Indies.
This is the man whom the linn hirer support*
for the Vice Presidency- who, if elected, may
possibly fill the office of President. What won

and submissive spirit, tho election of n Aboli

Mr. Uun j'-hrrnt Spmk In Atlanta.
On Saturday A'ight, before thr Jlrerhinrulge and
l,mu- Club, uuil a large, m count of Citizen*,
in the ojtrn air inthc Court Haute Square.
At an early hour of the evening, an Immense
crowd gathered to bear tho great statesman,and
when he was introduced to tho auiliouce, he was
received with hearty and prolonged cheering. -
After a few prefatory remarks upon the disturb
ed state of the country, the eloquent sjwfiker en
tered upon the main points at issue.
lie had at time* differed with hi* party, but
had never advocated any cause without a good
reason. lie lid acted with the Democratic par
ty for several years, cordially, beoattse he waa
convinced that it was constitutional and sound.
It was his parpen* to show by the record how the
unity of the party was in danger, and who is re
sponsible for having brought about this differ
ence In sentiment and these divisions In Anr
ranks.
There tire now three parties in the South,
claiming the suffrages of tho people. The Breck
inridge and Lane parly, based upon the Consti
tution, which has more power (and ns much will)
to save the South than any other; the Douglas
party: and lastly tho Bell and J.verctt party,
that hopes to rise to power and success by a di
vision of the Democratic party, make up the
trio of tbo contending purties among nr.
Breckinridge and Lane are met by Douglas A
Jotnsou, and are told that they are not the reg
ular nominees of the Democratic party, but
tbomselvo* are, and that Mr. Douglas alone rep*
resents Democratic policy and Democratic prin
ciple*. Mr. Bell tells us Hint we should give
him our confidence because bo in in favor of “Ibe
Union, the Constitution, ami tho enforcement of
the laws,” without offering any remedy for saving
the Union. Tho Douglas party oilers* platform
which, with tho explanation offered by Judge
Douglas, cmu be easily understood, while tbo
Breckinridge party offers a platform which doos
not require an explanation, but ran Im under
stood by all. Mo did not believe that Mr. Itell
would have been in the field hud then- not been
a division in the ranks of the Democracy. Mr.
Dougltu* was not the regular nominee of the Dem
ocratic party, and the principlesbe advocate*are
not the principles of the party, and never have
been tbo pitriciplos of the party.
Ho said that Mr. Douglas wu* a :itesniau of
{treat ability, for whom lie entertained feeling* of
ugh regard, with whom he had been upon terms
of intimacy for sixteen yours; but that Mr. Dou
glas had hnd deulgps upon the unity of the De
mocratic party since the Northern people had
failed to obtain the power in Kansas, under the
Kunsa.H-Nebraskaact, and when it became ap
parent that Bouthem men had obtained Advan
tages under that act, nod that Kansas, if fairly
doult by, would be admitted ns a slave State,(lint !
Douglas bad determined to war again t lie true !
intent of the bill, and to divide tho Democratic !
party And to rely upon the anti-slavery sentiment
of tho Northern States for support.
When the Charleston Contention met, Mr
Dougla.'was well awnr* that bn could not get I
the nomination under the two-thirds rule, and 1
those who are now his friends sold, that had tho
eight cotton Stales remained in tho Convention,
there could not havo boon any chance of noini
noting Douglas; and among the number who hnd
mado the assertion, ho could point to tho candi
date for Vice President, the IIoi). It. V. Johnson.
Mr.Douglasyaidth.it he would not rtcelvo
the nomination at the bands r that Convention
unless bis views upon the Kansns-NobVa-fen. Ml!
were endorsed by it.
The State of Alabams. ns well n. other South
ern Btotes, recogni/od tho importance of the great
Issno before the Amerioen people, which was of
vital importance to the South, and were not wil
ling to surrender our rights, which > hould be
protected by the Constitution, our only shield
and protection. Alabama only demanded her
right*, Douglas demanded the nomination upon
hit own platform. Mr. Douglas had no right at
stake in Hint Convention,save his personal am
htiion, but the Southern States had their rights
ut stake, and they bud a right to qwak. Doug
las’object wn> to boat down the two-third rule
if possible, thus to obtain the nomination by un
fair mean*. Thu HtHtus which were instructed
to voto as n unit should do so, and those which
were not so instructed should be untitled to ouo
vote.
Mr, Yancey very plainly showed that Mr.
Dougins was not the nominee of the Convention
according to Democratic usage, which was en
tirely satisfactory to those who heard his explan
ation.
The State of Alabama had been imposed upon
by a Bogus Delegation, mid Mr. Parsons, who
had always been antagonistic to the Democratic
party, and had lately joined it, was admitted in
to the Baltimore Convention with Ills crowd,
while Yanoey and the regular Democratic Con
vention, wore excluded.
Mr. Yancey said there was no Squatter Sever
ciguty In tho Cincinnatti platform, none in tho
Kansas bill, but that Mr. Dougins contended
there was. Mr Yancey's views upon this question
were vividly .set forth in the most convincing ar
guments we ever listened to. lie contended that
Non-intervention is tbo basis upon which the
Kansas bill is formed; that ho stood upon Non
intervention, and that Breckinridge soodnpon it.
Tho Territories true to manage thoir
own institutions, when they should not do any act
contrary to the Constitution and the General
Government. Congress could not abolish slavery,
neither could a Territory, acting in that capaci
ty. Wheu Kansas appliudlor admission into the
Colon under tho Leooinpton Constitution, recog
nising slavery, it was tho duty of Congress to
have received if Sending the Constitution back
to the people a high handed measure, and
1N .i a’ imi - \ Congress itself. Ho said that
( 1 inu i veue \ \to on uneonsUtu
tiou.d mu. ui ut in uo other case. His argu
roents upon v \ > measure were urged in a mll
tw!y and coin mcing mauoer. He appealed to
the record and proved every assertion that he
made. He touched upon every point of contro
versy, and left no matter unsifted, and cleared
up every charge against the party, lie said that
he stomi u|%>hi tho Georgia Platform, and if the
Union men >f Georgia who frumedit were willing
to back out ‘loin it, he was not.
•1. “ i hut Ur ugia, in our judgment, will and
ought to resist, even (ae a lent roeeK) t a dis
ruption of every tie which binds her to the Un
ion, any action of Congress upon the -abject o!
slavery in the District of Columbia, or iu places
subject to the jurisdiction of Congress, Incom
patiMewith tho safety, domestic tranquility, the
right and bouorof the slavoholding States, or iu
any refloat to admit as a State any Territory
hereafter applying because of the existence of
slavery therein, or in any act prohibiting tho
introduction ot staves Into the Territories ot Utah
and .Now Mexico, > r in any net repealing or
materially modifying tho lans now in force for
the recovery of fugitive slaves.”
He was not a disunion!, if thnt resolution was
not. Ho cleared up his own record satisfactory
to all present, and in allusion to Au ustus it.
Wright's attack up n him, he gave that gentle*
man a castigation that he will remember a.i long
as ho lives. Ho corrected some Items which the
“Confederacy” has published, n a part of his
record, aud called unon the editor to give the
corrections as ho had promised to o.
There arc many points and arguments, m this
floe speech which wo will notice hereafter. It
was one of the grandest and must powerful efforts
we have ever listened to.
Coxtiarcxo. —Tho enemies of Mr. Drockm
ridge arc verily models of consistency. In one
*rath, says the Clarion, they denounce him ns
the “sectional,” “disunion,” “tiro eating” candi
date ; and in the next, as n bclievor in squatter
sovereignty, which, according to their showing,is
the only doctrine thnt can preserve tho Union.—
One while the charge is that he is a “disraptionist,*
aiming to destroy the Inioufor the sake of this
slave holding interest, while tho Douglas men
and tho Doll men are the “two Constitutional
Union candidate- “ Again, in the same paper—
perhaps in the very fame column no have it
urged that ho is “not in favor of the extension
of slavery,” and therefore, not a fit candidate
for the support of Southern men.
Lewis 1). Campbell, the somewhat noted free
toiler, has declared his purpose to support Dell
and Everett. Dut mark, in a speech a few days
since, before n Cincinnati audience, he said:
“I am ono of those who believe that Congress
has the power to exclude slavery from the Terri
tories, aud the exercise of thnt power lies in the
discretion of that body.”

ple A few presses *od prominent men of tho

what the election of a Republican President would
bring on the country, and that is all. Among
these, the great Bell apostle, President Fillmore,
has said the “eucoess of the Republican party
would be a dissolution ofthU glorious Union.'’
Ther* is no issue of disonkro in tb# Breckinridge

said nothing about It, and it is all a feint of the
Opposition to frighten timid men from voting for
true principles aud the candidate who stands the

ever made of the election of s Republican ms a
cause for dissolution, It will not bedone until Mr.
Lincoln D declared elected. “Sufficient for the

the people, and not appeal to partite, to redress
their grievance in such way as an enlightened
public sentiment may dictate. Then we will

Ike Bell Pamphlet
There i* a pamphlet just published, containing
the South tide view of John Bell's life, for the
present canvass. We bare read it enough to j
know that it doe* not contain those paragraphs
in John Bell's speeches in the Benate which strike
at u tlave pent,” and which talk about the aboli
tion of slavery in the District of Columbia, and
which deolare that he would be “content to sec
.slavery abolished” there, if the slaves are provi
ded for after their emancipation. Does not con
tain anything he said about the Mexican war.—
Telling the gallant Americans, who were fighting
for their country in Mexico, to “jlte* from k
come back to th* Rio Grand* aad“swr their hon

John Bell essayed to be a pacificator in 1830. He
thought that in dividing Texas it was “probable”
that all that part Bouth of 34th parallel of North
lattitude and west the Colorado would be a “slave
Stele ” But he pacified the North by this as
surance
“In regard to which I have to remark, the ap
prehensions of the North on the subject of orea
tion of new slave States, need not be excited by
the reading of this resolution. When admitted
it trill be the loot of itt race. Jt will and muni
tclooe the account, in my judgment, of elave Staten
then and forevor oniony an thin I'nion laetn.”
Z. 1 n regard to this resolution of pacification for
he North, Mr. Bell said;
“The first point which will bo suggested to the
miuda of the honorable Senators by this resolu
tion is, that here is a surrender of two and a
half degrees of slave Territory to be hereafter
free Territory.”

“A letter from Mr. Breckinridge himself has been

“It may bo proper to state at present, that wo
hold the election of a Black Republican will bo
snch a manifestation of sectional hostility of tho
North to the South, such a proof that wo are two
peoples, that two government* ought to follow
as a corollary, unlesg the Norih will retraco its
steps and give us our rights. Iu tho event, then,
ot the election of Lincoln, wo would favor a con

them as can he got to act together, to present to
the North the alternative ot anew and satisfacto

The Right Brian.—Tho Breckinridge Con

(•ooftl Document.
The best document for the Breckinridge pure v
during tho present campaign is the letter of the
Hon. B. H Hill to Mr. Dongln* la-t year. It is
tbo very thing. It holds up tbo democratic plat
form upon which Mr. Breckinridge standi in its
true light. He says “if Mr. Douglas, or any
man holding his views shall be chosen to admin
ister this government, his very choice will be a
declaration that there it no government for the
slaveholder:’

Addressed to the Executive Committee of the
Breckinridge and Lane Club, organized to sus
tain ibe rights of all sections, and to uphold, in
this way, the I’nion, at Greenville, Ga.
Moxtdomkby, Aug. 9th, ls6u.
Gentlemen —lt is with profound regret that I
am compelled to decline your polite Invitation to
address my fellow-cilisens at Greenville, on the
18th intt. I shall,at that time, be in the midst
of my labors in the Circuit Court in Bussell. B*>
far as these labors concern myself, personally, I
would cheerfully lay them aside, to he present
with you, and lend my humble service iuendeav
i ring to maintain our rights in the I'nion; but
the rights of others are invoked, which imposes
obligations upon me that I may not pretermit or
disregard.
I do most sincerely hope that, before the elec
tion in November, the people at the South will
present an united front against Black Republi
canism. We have nothing to hope from our di
vision, but defeat, and eventually the destruction
of our institution must be the consequence. Wo
are, in the language of Pope, like the lamb, about
“Tolick the hand just raised to shed our blood.”
The issue is fairly presented between tho plat
forms of Breckinridge and Lane on theonoliHiid,
and Lincoln and Hamlin on the other. Mr.
Douglas’ plan ul killing off slavery by circum
scribing it within its present limits, (the inevita
ble effect of his doctrine,! and Mr. Bell’s policy
of announcing no specific views, lest in tirno they
should comit to striko for Southern independence
or drive the South from him by thoir anti-South
ern tendency, can accomplish, in my bumble
judgemnt, little more than to cripple, by divi
ding the South, and seriously imperil tho I'nion,
by the election of a Black Republican President.
In dor those circumstances, it behooves us ail.
calmly and dispassionately, to deliberate, to lay
asido all party animosity and prejudice, and to
unite upou that ticket tho success of whose prin
ciples would secure to all section* equal rights,
and thus place our Union upon the firm foun-la
firm of the Constitution.

REMARKS OF lIGX. J l LI AN HAIITHIDGE,
OF SAVANNAH
Mb* Bur sin* XT: The name that I am about
to propose for the consideration of the members
of this Convention, is one that needs no encomi
ums at mv hands, or at the hands of any Geor
gia •.
It i* a name synonymous with devotion to
State right* and tho ( .institution rightly inter
pretod. There is no Georgian wlu> will not cheer
fully yield to him who bears it, the credit of hav
ing always, with unwavering consistency, main
tained aud support .1 tho principles of equal
rights to all sections of the Union, as set forth in
the platform of principles now before you.
Sir, when the Georgia delegation to Charleston
had seceded from tho Convention, because of its
refusal to recognize that principle of equal rights,
and tad returned to their constituency, foremost ;
in the cause of Southern Rights, to give their ap
proval and support. But to many they look in
vain. The “tribulation committee,” which held
its sessions in Macon, and endeavored to manu
facture public opinion, elicited from many in the
public estimation, declaration* denunciatory of
the course of seceders, and adverse to the princi
ples you this day maintain. But in spite of these
efforts to produce the ooutrary result, you, the
people, sustained the action of your delegates, and
approved their condunt. And there was one lead
er who did not disappoint the hopes of those who,
in good faith, had done what they conceived to
bo their duly to their .''(am. Although prostrated
by physical disability. aqu writhing beneath tho
meutal tortures caused by the recent loss of her
who, for nearly a quarter of a century, had been
the partner of his joys and his sorrows—so soon
as hi* country required hi* counsel, bis spirit rose
above both physicial and mental infirmities, and
gave us that letter which stands this day the
ablc.-vt vindietion of the action of the seceders.
and the rights of the South, that the occasion has
called forth. It is his name that 1 n w’ put in
nomination the name Charles J. McDonald, of
Cobb.
I shall enter upon no detail of the services ho
Ims rendered you they are written on the pages
J of the history of the State, and engraved upon
thehcarts of his countrymen. I simply announce
j his name, a- one which will be a tower of strength
J to the cause in which we are nil engaged.
£#*J. 1. H. Claiborne, Esq., of
having been appointed Elector on the Dour las
ticket, writes a card iu which he say*.;
I “I have long been the personal and pulitieal
friend of Mr. Douglas, aud have a grateful recol
lection of many of hi* acts. But I endorse the
action of the Mississippi delegates in the Charles

From the report of J. L. Muslian, President ol
rilii* MiHCegec RaiynoiJ, we read the following in
relation to a depot
“Tho board contemplates making the folio*
Ing permanent improvement! during the present
year By building, together with • -nneotln,.

by 7S feet wide, similar to the one at Macon, t

the Company's cars, that are at present dlstribu

When these improrements are completed, there
will be but little else to provide lor bnt the oL
nary current running expenses”
4i- The strongest card of the Douglasites a,
that their candidate ia the regular nominee HLs
main strength proceeds from this In many biotas,
though untrue. If this plea is good, what made
the Douglasites v.K ugain-t the regular nominre
in Kentucky ? Why do they oppose the regulei
nominated electoral ticket in Pennsylvania y
news from Kentucky is cheering to
the true i>emocrocy. The Breckinridge men will
break up the unholy alliance between Dougla-

(Communicated.;
I u tbe T'/'c* of yesterday we find tho follow -
ing:
“A reward is offered for ony man of note, who
has changed from the Breckinridge to tbe Bell
party.” Gentlemen, do you mean for any man
of note, who is an honest, good citizen and patri
ot; or for any man of note who is a political
trickster and office seeker ? If the former, we
can name thousands; it the latter, we cannot
name one.— Usguirsr.
