The u £iciiui ofCowardu" Policy
Is not Priiic: pic.
Jefferson Davis, in Ilia Atlanta speech,
after proclaiming tlic truism, that ill tlio
administration if the government of llie
United Staten, "power prevails over
truth,” declared that lie was not one of
those who “accepted the situation" that
Radicalism has imposed upon the coun
try. “These cant phases,” said he, “that
wo hear so much of, about ‘accepting
the situation,’ and about our rights liav
been submitted to the ‘arbitrament of the
Bword,’ are but the excuses of cowards.’
Although this language has created a
hurricane of indignation throughout the
North—and Democrats and Radicals vie
with each other in villificatiou of the
"arch-traitor,” who dared, in tl is “free
country,” where liberty ol speech is gnnr
anteedf?) to the most humble, to give
expression to the free thoughts ot the
mind —it must bo conceded, by all lion*
est men, that truer words were never
uttered. They embody the very soul of
true democracy; and wo insist that no
Southern man can “accept tho situation,’
even by tacit ratification of tbo Xl\ and
XV amendments, without dishonoring
bis manhood, and stultifying the honest
promptings of his heart.
To accept the obnoxious amendments
as "accomplished Incts,” as advised by
tho Northern Democrats, is re ally to con
cede that usurpation by tbe Federal gov'
eminent is legal, right and just-—that it
was the design of the fathers, and so
embodied in the Constitution, that the
government bo one of force , and not con
sent —that tbe principle of Radicalism
has been and iB correct —and that hence*
forth,‘policy,’ must bo tbe cardinal prin
ciple of the Pt mocracy. We have not
been tutored in any nircb school—such a
Democracy we must ho excused lrom
accepting. Western and Northern Demo
crats may so fashion their platforms—
Ohio ami Pennsylvania may dress them
selves in Radical uniform, to play the
role of traitors, but none of it for us.
For twenty yeais wo have been labor
ing, in editorial harness, fui tie suc
cess of tho great and undying principles
of Democracy —and now to bo told that
we must surrender them on the alter ot
policy, is an absurdity too great to con
template. Truth cannot be crushed in
an eternity of time; and the principles ot
democracy are based upon tbo divine
rights of man. They cannot be crushed
by political charlitans undor the ph a
ol expediency or by treason in the house
hold. With a Georgia contempoarary, wo
believe that honesty will ultimately tri
umph over duplicity, aud wo are willing
to bear all the wrongs that may or can
be heaped upon us by the dominant par
ty, rather than gain relief by sacrificing
one jot ofpriuciplc.
Jn sentiment with the same journal,
we are well aware that there exists at
the South an clement antagonistic to tho
manly enunciation of our rights. Men
thus blind to interest are to be pitied;
the blow which crushed their fortunes,
weakened their moral courage, and they
are now ready to embrace any hope, how
ever chitncrcal, that will promise quiet
and peace. There is another element,
that is composed ofcringcrs,sycophants,
policy mongers and timid capitalists,
that will call what we advocate, the ‘red
liot,’ ‘impracticable,’ ‘Bourbon’ Democra
cy ; but the larger element— the lovers
of Constitutional government—will ac
knowledge its soundness, and preter op
pression to self-degradation.
The South is not compelled to take
part in tho next National Convention;
uud if the platform is to bo an “accept
the situation” structure, it is better that
she be on the outside.
L'liigstroet, Ben. Hi l,\ ullauilingbaui,
and others, can play the role of Esau,
but the true men ot lho land had rather
me tho “old ship go down in the storm
with her gui s blazing from o\t ry port
hole, and her obi constitutional flag float
ing from her mast head,’ than strike the
Colors of principle to any piratical crew.
Cost of Immigrants.— Gadsden county,
Fla., haw paid the expenses from Europe
of upwards of a hundred Swedes, who
arc now laboring on tho plantations of
that county; and the best evidence tlial
they prove satisfactory, is, that the peo
ple desire as many more as they can
raise money to transport. The Quincy
Journal estimates Hie cost of bringing
them from Europe to Gadsden county, at
$0.2 .29; and for this expenditure the im
migrant lalor faithfully one year.—
This is cheap tab r, and it is Conorded
the very best that can be had anywhere
How would the planters ot fro iks coun
ty like to secure a few hundred on similar
terms? It agre. able, the arrangement
can bo made.

Di -i'ani Among Hog*.
Our planting friends are sorely afflic
ted. In flddili ti to the deplorable con
dition of their crops, on account of the
recent protracted and heavy rains, a ter
riblo disease has been developed among
and is rapidly killing the hogs. 1 lie
disease is generally' believed to be the
"hog cholera,” and on some plantitions
as many as seventy five and a hundred
have died within a few days. The dis
ease lias been prevailing for a month or
more in the upper portion of this county,
hut is now rapidly spreading over the
entire country. The disease develops
itself in various forms: sometimes the
hog takes fits and dies immediately; and
again, large tumors appear on the body,
ami in a few days burst, when the hog
invariably dies. If any of pur friends
should discover a remedy for the evil,
w'c would be pleased to hear from them,
so that tho public may have the benefit.
Uulcss speedily stopped, our farming
friends will lose their entire stock ot
meat and stock hogs, which will prove a
great calamity to the county.
Proclaiming l»i* own Infamy-
Certain “Citizens of Madison” having
! charged, through the Savannah AVies,
that the Editor of the Live Oak (Fla.)
! Herald, was a "deserter to the (loiifeder
i ate cause,” in the i-sue of the He aid of
! tho 10th, tho editor theieof, perhaps
with the idea, that “an honest confes
sion is good for the soul,” boldly re
torts that lie, tho Editor of the L’vc
Oak lfcrald, w a denerkr of the meet
malignant type” —that in 18G4, with a
commission for a $4,000 office, from the
Richmond authorities, in his pocket, in
broad day light, “with due h rethought,
being of sound mind,” “d : d ride through
the lines iu the town of Jacksonville,
and strike hands with tho defenders ol
the Union.” And ho further declares :
"Wo are willing for this act of our lilc
to be known and read of all men.”
It is not often a man can be found, so
devoid of that sensitiveness of honor,
j which is the type of true manhood, as to
l declare, and to be “read of all men,” his
. own abasement of soul. To the minds
of most men, a traitor is tiie embodi
ment of all that is low, mean and despi
cable; and yet wo are surprised to learn
that a Florida Editor glories in tho ap
pellation. Well, let it go; every man to
his taste.
Tho Mississippi Democracy.
Ci.i.-i’.Y, the senior editor of the Macon
Telegraph, in a letter from Vicksburg,
Miss , has the following:
“Here McCamilc, of the Vicksburg
llciald, (the McOardle case) left us to
go to Winona, where there was to boa
convention. MeCardle is the embodi
ment ol inexorable hatred to Radicalism
and all its works, but is going to Wino
na to induce tho Mississippi editors to
back the policy ol non-reprcaeutalion in
the National Democratic Convention.—
lie is in favor of giving the Notthcrn
Deraorcats a carte blaucho on both can -
didate and platform, and then backing
them up by State ratification n e< tings,
lie says that it is the feeling in Missis
sippi, and if Georgia had felt the in n ns
deeply she would not cavil about plat
forms—but would only study how she
might he delivered out of the hands of
her enemies.”
Non-representation in tho National
Democratic Convention is right; under
existing circumstances it would bosouud
policy; but wc shall object to “backing
up” an “accopt-tlie-situation” platform
by State ratification. To defeat flic pre
sent administration, tbe Southern De
mocracy will be required to support the
nominees of the convention, but it can
be dune without endorsement of an ob
j noxious platform.

An Extraordinary Execution'
We are indebted to \fr. James A.
Ferguson, of Jonesliurg, M who late
! ly arrived home from Texas, for ti c par
ticulars of the fol’owing extraordinary
o cuvrence, which took pi ice a short
time situ:;,' in the Indian nation :
A ceitain Indian of the Choctaws was
some years ago suspected of having
killed another Indian of his tribe, hut
for lack of sufficient pi oof was not ar
rested. Afterwards ho committed a
willtul minder, aptil was in mptly ar
rested, trird t and sentenced to bo shot
to death. lie asked lor twenty days in
which to prepare, and visit Id's relatives
and friends, and gave his word of houoi
as a brave to return at the nnpninlrd
tim■ •. Whereupon he was released, and
allowed to go foi til without a guard or
bail. At the expiration of the twenty
days, according to appointment, the four
for the execution arrived, and the In
dian, true to his word, at the very hour
and minute galloped up to the place
where the sentence was to he carried
out, ill company with three of his sisters
dad three brothers, all appearing as
cheerful as though they hud Come to a
nance or frolic. The ci liin was tin n
brought on the ground, but some or.e re
marked that, it was too small, up n
which one of the doomed Indian’s hi oth
ers told him to lay down in it and meas
ure, which cheerfully did, and laugh,
iugly said : “It fits all rich*..” The
crowd, meanwhile, appeared to he in,
the most cheerful spirits, and cracked
jokes and laughed. At last, when ail
was ready, the doomed man was ordered
to sit ou the ground. A handkerchief j
was then placed ovi r his eves, by his
sister; whilst the sh< ihlb held one hand, J
one of the condi rimed Indian’s brother's i
held the other, ori each side of him.
The deputy slier If thou s: ad iu an old
house, about ten steps iu front of the
condemned, with a rifle. From some
cause the l itie went oil accidentally, the
bullet passing up through the roes ol
tiie house. The Indian, believing he
was shot, drew himself up anil shudder
ed, but did not speak or move from the
spot. A black mark was then made
over the Indian's lioait, with spittle and
powder, by his brother, while the deputy
sheriff reloaded hisrifie, and at a signal
he took steady aim, tired and pierced
the centre of the maik. The luiban,
with a few struggles, fell buck, dead,
with his brother and the s! et.il siil! hold
ing his hands. No one Seemed to be i.i
the least affected, except the doomed In
dia ’a mother, wiio shed tears, but w, a
t. Id to “shut up” by her son, that all
was over, 'thus ended this extraordi
nary execution.
Mr. Jatrns A Ferguson, our infor
mant, a well kn uvn and Worthy eltiz: n
of Joinsburg, was in the Indian nation
when this took place, and stood within
five steps i.f the Indian when shot, and
was an eye-witness to tho whole s "lie
as described. We forgot, at tiie time,
to inquire of the exact locality in tin
Indian natiorr where (ho oec’irrence b ok
place, but wo give tho account as related
to ns.
Such is the confidence that the much
