■“ What they”Think7~
-We.conclude to day tho opinion* of
the Democratic press of Georgia, upon
the action of the March Convention.—
Vfp gaveon Tuesday those of tho Gm-
stitutionalist, Dalton Timet;Federal Union,
Columbus Timet, Macon Telegraph, At-
. \ox\i*InUlligenccr, Savannah Morning Netoi
and the Cartersville Exprut. We* wind
■tip with the' Southerner & Advertiser;
■Lawrencevllle News and Athens Ban-
the ivseMmen1 that has been rank)ing j
in the bosom* of hit political enemies f
for year*. And to secure this .end, thoj
Southern Rights wing par excellence of the I
Democratic party hnVc ignored the uh- j
equivocal declaration of those right* I
by tho Supreme dourt. ’ . “They had, ra-1
they ho wrong than Cobb should bd'Presi-1
dent.” If demagogues riritl tricksters I
are permitted to rule in State Conven- j
tions, we must expect them to rule inf
the Federal Government. If tho peojl
pie will submit to one they will submit |
to tho other, and there is ho help for [
us. ’ - 1
ner f .
‘ The first named paper expresses no
. opinion at all, but is prudently and eon*
titUntfy silent. We presume that like
If n. Cfa£pins when called on to testify
i|i “BardeU ini. Pickwick,” "his feelings
were tqo many for him.” But not so<j
with the New. It puts no cheek upon
the exuberance, of itsjoy over what, it
' calls the “overthrow qf Cobbocracy.” It
indulges in the most unbounded exul
tation at the .thought that “the action
.of the self constituted. December Con
vection whioh declared Howell Cobb to
he the first choice of the Georgia Dem
ocracy for the Presidency was,-properly
jreimlcfid'j”' that a resolution was passed
requiring the delegates to Charleston to {
vote as unit in that body, and that a
majority of them being for Alexander
E. Stevens, Howell Cobb cannot get a
tingle vote.
The JVcim .then launches out into aw
ful denunciations against “one man
power;" speaks of the “great Autocrat
as fallen;” “the Democracy of Georgia
have demolished his throne , and shat-i
tered the sceptre of his jj poweroon
gratuiates the country that no such “in
fluences as he. had been accustom
ed to wield ean again bo brought to
bear in h^hehalf; the cohesive power
of publia plunder can no longer hold
his distolrihg cohorts together,” and al
though*^ subtle, intriguing and demago-
giucal politician may for awhile feed hisj
faithful satellites with official pap and|
thus retain flis power,” yet in a govern-
ment like ofcn*‘all such oorruptionswi!
be fcrreted ‘out arid a terrible retribution]
visited upon sudh-dangerous enemies
to Republican principles, as those who]
impair the purity'of the ballot box
through selfish and other motives.”—
We _mMy, thjuk^ that; the > News is
c^l' AsidV. unmerciful thus to make
jwjjp.the rtoW.ol.tiiis
_ procession,,of / jpfemocw .
p#(^(faaei the' Athens JBahncr'dtoped ihl

thrown to the breexe after hard Ifbuj
ba»lei-f6r Howell.(lobb in ’ the "g
pld. Sixth, .it is truly a very sad speoto-
, Were jt.iiot. that this thought stirs up,
'^“r®rtpest.symp*tKeswe• would not
exited by its’ bearer's lugubrious coun-
tenaace and choking utterance. “With
"h^D^mom^' * ^^ voi . n ^ on "
down resplutjiqns. taking high- Southern
gtOBud jlp«x ; . the territorial question,
the only yitift-question n<Jw before. the
ooqntry,” andhepays thoreaders of tho
Bo^Ur “will be surprised to learn that
the State of Georgia was efraid to ex
press an opinion on this. subject.” The
Banner tiilnks “the resolution was voted
dowp becausejfcwaa- ooupled with oiir
recommending Hon. Howell' Cobb to
the.Charleston Convention.” It' char-
“the.anti-Cobb faction was tho-
roogWy-’brganisod before the assembling
of titoCobventioni led on by- Hon. - Sol-
omjn'Cohen of Savannah.” It thinks
•'16?. Stephens’ friends have placed him
:in a\wri>hg position before the country
by producing the.impression that Doug
las’.influence would be thrown for him
6{ififlo*ton!: tCofivdntion. Then
In conclusion it alludes to one or two in-
tPrqigpg facta that developed them-
' wfcioh was that “Cher-
okucouMif the'retidawe Gov. Brown vo- 1
ted against'this* strong Southern resolu-
tions. and it was pretty generally under-
stood tMdt was through the the influ-
Pttoe 'dfjthe Governor himself." Thia
trul/ts avefysuspiciou* circumstance
and fully warrants the Reamer in saying
that *Uf it - turns out to be truo, it knows
one man, who has been a warm Mend
•rid supporter of his, whose rote he will
never get agaiif.” - . -
. After reading the oomments we have
given, the conclusion of the whole mat-
-teris plainly this:‘ The March Conven
tion was oalled by the enemies of Gov.
Cobb, Vpd for,no ofcher reason than be
cause he was-reopmmended to the Char
leston; Convention by the Deoember
Convention, and for no other' purpose
than to defeat his nomination, fw the
Presidency; and notwjthstandiiifc How-
eli Cobb is to day the most popular man
not only in the Democratio party, but
in the State of Georgia, yPt by suporlor
management and dark intrigues the!
will of the majority haa - been utterly
disregarded and frustrated; ‘ to 'gratify
9^Hon.J..L. M. Curry of Alabai
in his late speech in Congress says of
theEansaa Bill: . - t
“.Whatever may have been the pur
pose of the framer of that bill—and be
says in his contribution to Harper, that
it was to remove any obstacle to the
free exercise of popular sovereignty—
it wasaupported at the South because
of its repeal of the Missouri restriction
and because we thought we had secured
safeguard against territorial unfriend-
lr legislation, by. the provision rendering
ail such legislation subject to the Con
stitution or the United States, and by
the farther provision giving an appeal
to the courts of the United States, in
all cases where property in slaves -was
involved. If we were mistaken, this
power to exolude slavery by unfriendly
legislation—this Squatter Sovereignty
covered up under ambiguous language
in the Kansas bill, after the repeal of
the Missouri restriction—is but a refined
imitation of the barbarity of the petty
Celtic tyrant, who fed his prisoners, on
salted food until they called eagerly for
drink, and then let down on empty cup
into the dungeon and left them to die
of thirst.”
That’s so.
rA correspondent of the Mobile
Rtgitfer, a paper that advocates Doug
las’ nomination, contains a letter from
whioh We take this extract:
Savannah, Mar 17, I860.—Hurrah for
Georgia I The people of theState have
met m solemn Convention, and have
taken tho reins of government out of
the hands of demagogues and wirepul
lers. The Deoember Convention; with
waqlutions endorsing tiie Hbh. How--
ell Cobb, ha* been voted down by a ma
jority of twelve. So ‘-'the gqptigman
from Georgia who presides .over the
Treasury Department*' is not the ohoioe
of, bis native State; can’t “rally the
masses” on the soil where he was reared;
can’t oany a single endorser to Charles
ton; laid on. the shelf for another term
of four years. Poor Howell J Poor

Macon, March 16th 1860.
At a consultation of the State Execu
tive Comraittop of the Opposition par

Eighth District) it was unanimously
resolved to.issue the following call:

posed both to tho mad schemes of the
Democratic party—to nil interference
by one section with tile domestic 'insti
tutions of another,- whotherin the States
or in the Territories, 'which are the
common property of all the States—
whq'believo the constitutional right of
tho South to a free enjoyment of the
latter; with hef property of. every de
scription, both just ana indefeasible—
who eschew all sectional political par
ties as inimical to the publio tranquil ity
—who reverence the Constitution ana-
ad vocato respect and obedience to all
laws passed in pursuance thereof, and
to the decisions of the consti'uted judi
cial tribunals of the land, are requested
to meet.in their respective counties, as
early ah practicable, and appoint dele
gates to a State Convention, to bo held
,in the oity of Milledgeville, on Wednes

“The delegation* from the Statei of
South Carolina, Mississippi and, Ala

week, upon the subject of the proposi
tion of the Legislatures of these States
for;a convention, for the purpose* ofl

The oonferenoo resulted' in no aotion,

three State* will not be halduntii:
the Charleston and Chicago Conven

the series of conventions prior to the
