The Douglas organ in this city comuicuiU to our approval tho views M’ Mr. Van coy, u* os pressed in his late speech at Cooper Institute, New York. If our coteuiporory understood that spoech as we do, wo should accept its mmuucnda tion thcroof as evidoace that it ha<l abandoned, at least, a portion of Us heresies, or, to use its own cla- • metaphor, that it had “wilted.” ‘Vo do not, however, thus agree. The Star says that Mr. Vaneev, in the speech referred to, “announced himself es not fur secession.” M e presume this moans as arjaintt Wo discover no war rant for this assertion in Mr. Yancey’s published remarks. Ho did say that “there Uno such thing as the South seceding.” That tho speaker re ferred to tho practicability of uniting the whole fifteen States in a simultaneous move ment of secession, is apparent to every one who vrill closely . can his laugung •. That he declared himself, even by implication, a gain at such a movement in tho event of Lincoln's elect iou, is a conclusion which no ingenuity can wring from his speech. Mr. Yancey said: “There is such a thing as a estate seceding,” but declined, from motives which wo do not know, but which we may conjecture, to state in New York what he Would advise Alabama to do in the supposed con tingency. He said that hi* opinion should be furthcoming whenever his Ft ate demanded it.— .Mr. Yancey said moreover. und this we especially commend to our Douglas friends, that if a South ern State secedes, aud Lincoln and his follow ers -Douglas included -shonld attempt to force her bark, he would fly to tho standard of tho State and battle for her independence, 110 would lo joined, in repelling such an abolition crusade, by every true man in tho South. Rut this extremi ty will net or be reached if Southern men will withhold tho “aid and comfort” which they prac tically give our enemies by tho senseless cry of Union. This cry lias, in times past, encouraged aggression, and will, if persisted Wi, invito an at tempt at “coercion,” by iudunng the belief that there is a party in the South ready to join in tho effort to subjugate a sovereign State. If war should follow secession, tho Union croakers must shoulder tho responsibility. The ('ode of Georgia Thi; is tho title of the wort prepared by It. 11. Clark, T. R. It. Cobb and D. Irwin, Eiqi. Coui mi.--loners appointed to codify the laws of the State. The labor of two years has booa spent upon it, and it is represented as a most perfect digest of the laws. A committee of twelve legal gentlemen have been engaged ten days at tho Capitol examining and inspecting it, prior to its being submitted to the Legislature ; and they aro prepared to make a favorable report concerning its mints. Tho book will bo about as largo as C'.bb’s Digest, now used. It is divided into four parts: Ist. the political and public or ganisation <>f tho State ; 2d. tho civil code; ”J. tho odo us practice; Ith. tho penal laws; to which is appended tho Constitution of Georgia and the United Steles, >md tho mica of tlio Su perior and Supremo Courts of Georgia. In thus arranging and codifying tho laws oC the State, tho (VuuMimluiietM endeavored to keep m view the interest and policy of tho Legislature. To abridge in-one section, so as not tw be misunder stood, tho meaning and full import of pages of statute laws. While each department of the Code reflects credit upon the Commissioner who prepared it; tho Civil C*j>k, arranged by T. U. It. Cobb, I’.sip, is said t< be a most perfect and complete work iu itself. For instance, the chapter on bail menta is a volume in a few words—explaining tho principles, the liabilities of carriers, the law- of hiring, loans, deposits, mandates, pledges or pawns. To the Penal Code tho examining committee added s chapter upon the proceeding- necessary in preliminary courts. llimkh Holt, !>•{ , was unanimously selected by the committee to muko the report t the Leg islature a position duo him from his superior knowledge of the statute law* of Georgia. The (.'ode will doubtless meet the approval of the Leg- Mature and lie a text book for every lawyer in itdrral Troops for Augusta.

I'or this reason wo cannot longer neglect our private affairs, for the prospect of the good we can do our party the short time the campaign is to be continued. , 0 Our brethren, fays tho Chromed© L Sen tinel, are already in tho field, why remain we idle The South is rending her orator* North to appeal to tho slumbering conservatism l of the masses, aud to make one laife effort to save the Union under the Constitution. The great and gifted Yancey is there, raising his voice, not for Breckinridge, not f r protection, but for Lincoln’s defeat—for nationality, for the country, for the Union, the Constitution and the Laws. All ini* nor considerations are sunk in tho all-pervading sentiment of tho conservatives—defeat the sec tionalist* and thus preserve tho Confederacy.— Gen. Combs, Gen. Zollicoffer and Maj. Henry, of the Bell party, are now North, engaged in this work, ind the lion. Andrew Ewing, of the Breck inridge party. This is the sort of work now to do. Appeal to the North te pause. * Douglas Men Lead Thin. The Cleveland (Ohio) Plaindealcr, tho leading Douglas organ of Ohio, edited by J. W. Gray, a Douglas deb gate to Charleston, speaks for the Douglas leaders in'its Ktate, and says in its issue of the J Oth of September : “By telegraph to-day wo loam tho proposed terms for running ujoir.t Douglas and Breckin ridge electoral ticket in Pennsylvania. Although if agreed to by tho Democrats, it gives the State to Douglas beyond a doubt, yet wo would never give our sanction to it, and would much rather sco the State go for Lincoln than DouglaH under such a compromise. Neither Mr. Breckinridge nor his platform aro any part of tho Democratic party.

Mf.AXS, Secretary of State. South Carolina’s Petition to Congress \gninst While Slavery. KfilTOlt OF Till: NLW YORK HERALD. Charleston, Oel. H, ISCO. Wo scud you a copy of a petition which w ill bo presented by tho people of tho cotton Statrs to Congress should Mr. Lincoln bo elected. The original is in this city, and will bo signed, wo believe, by every right thinking man, when tho time comes. Its insertion in your excellent pa per will no doubt secure for it many w.irm friend* at tho North: - PETITION. The undersigned, citizens of tho i .-tton Slat* r, respectfully show to your honorable body, that, at tho present time, there exists in tho Mates <>f Massachusetts Prtinsvlvunin and ,\'r.w ,York. but more especially in the city of New York, a groat and growing evil, for which, as citizens of this vast consolidated government, they fear that they, too, most be held responsible to God ns well as to man, and for the eradication of which, at every hazard, they are bound us good Christians, to strive. Your petitioners mean the institution of “white slavery” in its most shock ing and repulsive form. \ our petitioners have been credibly iniormcd that iu the above named places there uro now hundreds of thousands of tho outpourings of the workshops, lazarettos,and prisons of Europe, besides their own native pau pers, many of wbm work from morning untit night, for from I* to JJO cents, while others un willing to work for so little, or work at all, support themselves by begging and stealing, amt miserably perish, some for want of bread or suf ficient clothing, in the public street.-, even in the prcseuce of the luxurious and wealthy; others in the prisons or on tho scaffold; that most ol those unhappy people are profoundly ignorant of their civil and political rights, and aro oven en couraged, from infanoy to the grave, to repudiate the Bible and deny the existence of Almighty God. Os this condition of things your petition ers cannot very well conceive; for though they arc slaveholders themselves, and have always lived among slaves, yet their slaves are by na ture of a different and inferior raco of men, for whose live.-, health, careful and religious in struction it is and ever has been your petitioners’ interest, as it is your petitioners’ duty, to care to tho utmost, besides which they never can become citizens df thi* great democratic nation, as well on account of their color as their inferiority; and they never perish for want of food, clothing, shelter or protection; but tho ‘white slaves’ of tho North aro not only not of an inferior caste but many of them were born citizens, and all of them may become citizens, of this great nation, and in every respect, the e*jual of their master*. Your petitioners, irmly persuaded that no people who will permit bo much wrong and injustice to con tinue can expect the favor of God, and that in thi- 1 consolidated government your petitioners, ns well ns the people among whom it exists, must answer for this crying sin, have resolved most respectfully to suggest to your honorable body tho propriety of erasing this dark page from tho history of our nation. Your petitioners further show that iuio Wm. 11. Howard, lately a ,Senator from the said State of New York, has-been holding forth to the aforesaid white slaves, and Bomtimes to their masters, that there is and {must always be, “an irrepressible conflict between African slave labor and white labor, until the termer shall be, as it ought to be, extinguished in blood;” but ho has falsely assumed that all white labor)* [froo labor —though ho well knows that in no form is Afri can slavery as abject and degraded us is the pau per labor of bis own State; and he ha* artfully concealed from the aforesaid masters, while he has made it plain to their “white slaves,” that his irrepressible conflict is, in truth,the conflict between poverty on the one side, und wealth on the other, and that to this conflict the red re publicans of France and tho black republicans of America owe their existence; but your peti tioners are willing that he who planted the seed of this agrarian doctrine in our soil, und the people who have watched the tree in its growth, should lie tho first to taste of its fruit. They, therefore, pray your honorable body to cause a fair and eqnal division of all tho property, real and personal, gold and silver, goods and chattels of ail kinds, bold and owned by the people of the the above named States, to be mado umongthein nil, so that hereafter there may be no poor man, woman or child be found among them, and tho reproach of “white slavery” be removed forever from the skirts ofyonr petitioners. About your right to illustrate, by thi* equal distribution of property, the excellence and beauty of Mr. How ard’* doctrine, there Cun bo no doubt, now that we live under uconsolidated government,wherein the will of the majority in Congress 1h the Con stitution. Until, with your aid, wo shall have removed this dark and damning win from tbo consciences, as well of ourselves as of our dis tant brethren of the North, it will not bo either meet or propor, perhaps hardly decent fur it* to begin to think of our own offence* f if any we have committed) against morals and religion. Grant us our prayer, which is designed to pro mote the very best interest of Northern society, and we will, an in duty bound, ever pray, 4c. Signed already by tenn of thousand’ In antici pation. The Gohi'el ah Kxpotmmtn nr Brigham Yol'SQ. —A Utah correspondent speaks of the manner in which Brigham Young lays down the gospel to tho Saints, and also to tho Gentiles in that Territory: “On Sunday last, iu the Bow ery, Brigham Young laid down the law in plain ness to the poor Mormon missionary elders, and positively forbade them, in the name of Jesus Christ, to send home or bring home to their wives a siik dress or any kind of lioery, or to come home as merchants. When they were out among tho gentiles they wore to confine their business to preaching the gospel, without purse or scrip, and when they returned and were . ale at home, they could speculate and go to making money. One would infer, therefore, that in thoir preaching expeditions some of the elders un wicked enough to have an eye to tbo main chanco.” COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, MONDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1880, U Ll MIU S.

Wednesday, Oct. 17th, 1800. At ii ptthlii’ meeting held ut Buena Yiatu, 1 Miii'iim county, Georgia, irrespective of party, to I take into consideration the threotooed danger to i the South, upon the probable election ofAhra- ; hum Lincoln to the Presidency, Upon motion of Mark 11. Blandford, Esq., James 11. Dunham, Samuel 11. Crawford and Thaddeus Oliver, Esqrs., were culled to preside over the moeting, uuil James M. Lowo und Edgar M. Butt, Lsqs., wore requested to not ns Secre taries of said meeting. The meeting being declared organized and ready lor the transaction of business, Mr. Bland j ford then addressed the meeting. He nuid he did j not speak us u party man, hut us a Georgian ; he j appealed to them in no partisan spirit, hut spoke j to them as a people having tho saute common ; interest and the same destiny : his object was j not to udvocato the claims of any particular candidate f<>r tiro Presidency, hut to leave every one free to vote for that candidate which his judgment dictated to him wua right. But our object was to ascertain the feelings and views of the people of this county in regard to the elec tion of Mr. Lincoln, whoso election seemed cer tain, if we arc to attach any Importance to the returns from the elections of certain Northern State , which have recently taken place, lie ad monished his follow-citizens to do away with nil party hiekerings and unite themselves to meet the conflict which must inevitably come upon them if Lincoln ho elected.

Mr. Blandford then moved that a com mittee of nine ho appointed to draft suitable reso lutions, expressive of tho feelings and views of the people of Marion county In regard to theclec ti >u of Abe Lincoln to tho Presidency, that said committee to be composed of three from each po litical party in dl.o county, which motion was adopted The Chuir then appointed M. 11.

The Convention mot according to adjournment, there being present tho largest assemblage of citizens overseen in thecounty. Mr. Blandford, from the committee of nine, reported the follow ing preamble and resolutions: “All tho States of this Confederacy acceded to tte I nlon upon terms of perfect equality, and the Constitution of the United States (tbo only true bond of Union) was formed by our Fathers, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote tho general wel fare ami secure the blessings of liberty to our selves and our posterity.” Theso Wing the ob jects of our Fathers in framing the Constitution ami making tho Union, let us examine the acts of tho North in the light of these principles. In stead ofproinoting the general welfare of all the States of this Union, tho North has, by foul in directions, wrung annually from the South, mil lions of dollars by moan* of tariffs, iu all of which the South has peaceably acquiesced. Instead of “insuring domestic tranquility” tho North has refused to comply with tho plainest aud most obvious Constitutional prevision*—that of deliv ering up fugitives from justice and fugitives from labor -when it is written tho former shall lie de livered up upou demand, (lie lat.er upon the olairn of the person to whom such service or la bor uiay bo due. Already have nine of tbo States of this Confederacy passed laws virtuull.v nullify ing this clause of tho Constitution'. Ministers of tho Gospel hsve inveighed against slavery a.* ou evil and a sin. declaring non-fellowship with all persons holdjsg slaves, branding them ns rob bers in thesi|ht of God and man. While these aro the sentiments felt and expressed by those who wear tbo “livery of llenvcn” aud profess to be followers of “Him w ho went about doing good” the masses end tho political leader* are no less hostile In our institution. As the legitimate con sequoncct of these teachings of the pulp.t aud the political leaders, and feelings ofthe masses of tho North, insurrections have boon attempted at the South, ptaccful aud unoffending citizen* of the South have boon murdered in cold blood, their house* h*vo been laid waste by tho torch of tho incendiary, their property destroyed and un “ir repressible conflict’’ baa boon proclaimed be tween freo labor and davo labor. A party has sprung up at tho North declaring that tho negro is the eqnal id’ the white man that tho fugitive slave law must ho repealed -slavery’abolished in the District of Columbia that they ure deter mined to seize hold of the Government alter the Constitution —revise tho judiciary, and abolish slavery everywhere. Huoh ads upon tho part of tho North, such object* as declared by the Re publican party, are not., in our opinion, calcula ted to “ensure domestic tranquility,” b it a plain and palpable violation of tlie spirit of the Con stitution. Such principles and aims are subver sive of the dearest rights and principle* guaran teed by the Constitution. Bo it therefore, Resolved, Ist. We regard the election of Abra ham Lincoln to the Presidency and Hannibal llamlin to tho Vice Presidency, a.* an overt ad of hostility upon the part of tho North, und as a declaration of war upon the rights of tho South. 2d. We recoin mood tho people of Georgia,upon tho election of Abraham Lincoln being known, to meet immediately in Convention to determine the mode and manner of redress. ■ id. Iu order to render our action harmonious, wo recommend those who uiay be elected us elec tors for the Slato of Georgia to cast tho vote of Georgia for that candidate who cun defeat Abra ham Lincoln. Tbo preamble was adopted unanimously. The tint resolution being taken up, a debate ensued, Messrs. Blandford, Miller, Hinton, Biv ins and McCall in support of the resolution, and Messrs.

Douglas und Hell Fusion Again The Southern llvcordvr o f tho 2.fil inst., con tains a circular (Yom Gen. J. IV. A. Sanford, Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Bell party. Ho states therein, that he lias wry recent ly received several important letters from distin guished gentlemen, urging him‘to invito the . \ oral Executive Committees ofthe diil'orent par ties in this State to meet at Milledgovillo on tho 27th inst., for tho purpose of forming a compr iniseelectoral ticket. Simultaneously, there ap pears in tho Augusta (funatitutionuliat an address to the people of Georgia, from Mr. James Gard ner, a member of tho Douglas Kxeoutiw- Com mittee, stating thnt ho had recently received similar communication.*, and nskiug tho said Committees to meet at Atlanta on the 2th.D We do not believe that there are many people in Georgia whom such a proposition can deceive. - It is manifest that theso letters wore written by Douglas and Beil men e.r cluaicety. Although this fact does not distinctly appear iu tho cards abovo referred to, yet it is clear that, if a solitary Breckinridge letter hud been in either of these piles, it would have been produced, or tho fad noticed. The appearance of both proclamations ou the same day, bcuriug the same date, is a co incidence which may, to some, furnish ground to suspect collusion, while their disagreement as to the tliuo and place of mooting, would show that tho matter was concocted too hastily to allow of definite arrangement of details. The paternity of this last proposition for fusion is traced to Don. B. 11. Hill, utnl was first announce Ihy him in a recent speech at Atlanta. That gentleman, in common with other lew.tors of his party, aware of their weakness in the State, L extremely an\i>>n to concoal that fact.

It Is well understood that a like j proposition wus diweusscd at tho roppectivo Con j veulions of tbo Bell and Douglas parties which ; met at Miliougeviilo outlie Lith sad Hthofla.-t ’ August. It was then considered impolitic to ac cede to it because it was believed that tho rank aud file of neitbur party would uhido it. But tho leaders thought that, after working through tho canvass in party traces, the masses would become so well broke aud tractable thnt. towards tho eloso of the rare, they could bo safely delate lied and made to pull at either couch, whether at the wheel or iu tho lead, and up any kind of a /♦'//.- Well, the time for action has come tho trick can not be longer postponed. They now call for a fusion of all parties for tho solo objeet we have before stated, and, knowing that they will getn•> sympathy from tho pure Democracy, they hope tocatch souio of tho unwary in that party by tho plea that the purposo ofthe movement is tho th feat of Lincoln. .Springes to catch woodcock: ‘ So much for the intention ofthe mover--. In I regard to the proposition we have to say that the Executive Committee of the Democratic party lms no ;9flMrto aocode to it.

That Convention guv e to the Executive Committee n power to touch that Ticket, except to fill such vacancies as might occur hy death or resignation.
