mQSGBo M. DWINELL, Editor St Proprietor. GEO. T. STOVALL, Associate Editor Saturday Morning, May 12,1800. Position of the Opposition Party on . the Question of Slavery in the Ter ritories. in regard to the consistency of tlio posi- tiQg'p f .the Party recently taken at Milledgoville,.witli the platforms here tofore adopted, we give below portions of the Platforms adopted in our State Conventions of 1855,,' 1857 and 1859, ' If there is any ifapoWslstenoy Or mate- '.rial difference between these or. either ' Of these tod thatadopted on the 2nd inst., on the subject of the rights of the South in the Territories we must con- jfeM.^e havefailed to discover it. The fact is the Opposition party of Georgia - led off on, and has constantly maintain ed with determined energy an uncom promising hostility to “Squatter Sover eignty," and every true man is heartily rejoined to no*-see a large portion, and as we beheve a majority of the Demo crats party of the South taking the same position. It is now the great ques tion of the country and all who agree ought tq unite and strive together for . a fust and constitutional adjustment of this muoh vexed question. It is now no time to stickle about party names or to be led ostray.through blind prejudice and were it necessary, any man, or par ty, had better b& inconsistently right than consistently wrong. But read .the follow- * ing extraots and judge for yourselves: PLATFORM or 1857. . . the Constitution; and, as slavery is re cognised and sanctioned by the Consti tution, and Congress, whioh derives a]l its powers from that instrunient cannot legislate pn the subfeot of slavery, except for its protection where it legally exists; that the Territories are the common' property of ell the States, and therefore, the people have the right to enter upon and occupy any Territoiy with their slaves, as well as other property, and are protected by the Constitution and Flag of the Country; that Congress has no right to legislate slavery into, nor ex clude it from a Territory, and that we hold that the doctrine of, “ non-inter vention ” with the institution of-slavery in the States, Territories, or the District of Columbia, does not, nor was it intend ed to conflict with the assertion of the rigbty of the citizens of the several States who may choose to settle in the several Territories. We believe, aim, that the further agi tation of the subject of slavery will end no practical good to ang portion of the country, and should therefore cease, regarding the principle a» settled, both ty legislative enactment and judiolal-in terpretation, that the people of the Ter ritories, when they come to form a State Conststution and c0no other time, (by unfriendly legislation or otherwise,) shall decide the question for themselves. We furthermore repudiate the doc trine of “ Squatter Soveignty,” in all its forms, as.an invidious and certain mode of excluding the South from the com' mon Territory of the Union, and stand ready to oppose sternly and uncompro misingly all who advooate that aoo- ri ‘ Manner of Electing President and Vice-President. Some erroneous statements relative to tho manner of electing President and Vico President, when the electors fall to choose, having been published, we copy from the constitution of the United States the following article in reference thatsubjeot: Art. XII.—The electors shall meet oneorwnom, at lesist, inhabitant of the same State with them selves ; they shall name in their ballots, the person voted for as President, and of all persons voted for as Vice-President and of the number of votes for each; The American party of Georgia, in Convention assembled, animated by love of oountry and a jealous regard for the Constitutional rights of the people of the Union; and especially of the people of Georgia ancf her Southern 4ters, do adopt and re-affirm the fol- l'wing declaration of principles, made aid promulgated by the American Con- vetion of Georgia, Dec. 1855: The maintenance of this Union of oo-Vual sovereign States, os our Fath ers Vade it, as the paramount political gootb-paramount in its adaption to the -— JA rof our rights and the happiness The Platform Adopted. The liesnlutiOns adopted by the Con vention are as follows, and-add nothing, will be seen, to the declarations of the Cincinnati Platform, on the subject of slavery: “ Resolved, That we, the Democracy of the Union, in Convention assembled, hereby declare our affirmance of the resolutions unanimously adopted and declared os a platform of principles by the Democratic Convention at Din ofnnati in 1856, believing that Demo cratio principles are unchangeable in their, nature when applied to the same subject-matters. “Resolved, That it is the duty of the United States to afford ample and com- iletoproteotion to all its oitizens,whether lome or abroad, and whether native or foreign. V Resolved, That one of the necessities of the age, in a military, commercial, and postal point of view, is speedy com' mnmention between the Atlantio and Paoific States; and the Democratic party plcdgo such constitutional Govern ment aid as will iusure the construction of a railroad to the Pncifio coast, at the earliest practicable period. “ Resolved, That the Democratic party are in favor of the acquisition of the Island of Cuba on such terms as shall be honorable to ourselves and just to Spain. “Resolved; That the enactments of State Legislatures to defeat the faithful execution of the fugitive slave law are hostile in character, subversive of the Constitution, and revolutionary in their effect." As reported by the Minority of the Committee, this Platform embraced the following preamble and resolution, but it appears to have been objected to by Southern delegates, and at their instance stricken out: “ Inasmuch os differences of opinion exists in the Democratic party as to the nature and extent of the powers of a Territorial Legislature, and as to the lowers and duties of Congress, under ihe Constitution of the United States, over the institution of slavery within the Territories: “ Resolved, That the Democratic party will abide by the decisions or the Supreme Court of the United States on the questions of constitutional law." wbioh lists they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the seat, of the Government of the United States, direct ed to the President of the Senate, the President of the Senate- shall in the iresence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the certificates ana the votes shall then be counted; the person having the greatest number of votes for President, shall be the Pres ident, if such number be the majority of the whole number of electors appoint ed. And if no person have suoh major ity, then from the persons having the highest numbers, not exceeding three on the list of those voted for as Presi dent, the House of Representatives shall choose immediately, by ballot, the Pres ident; but in choosing the President the votes shall be taken by States, the representation from suclrState having one vote; a quorum for this purpose shall consist of a member or members from two-thirds of the States, and a majority of all the States shall be necessary to a choice; and if the House of Represen tatives shall not choose a President, Whenever the right of choice shall de volve upon them, befofl the fourth day of March next following, then the Vice- President shall act as President, as in the cose of the death or other constitu tional disability of the President. The person having the greatest number of votes as Vice-President, shall be the Vice-President, «f such number be a majority of the whole numberof electors appointed ; and if no person have a majority, then from the two highest numbers on the list, the Senate shall choose the Vice-President; a quorum for the purpose shall consist of two-thirds of the whole number of Senators, and a majority of the whole' number shall be necessary to a choice. But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President, shall be eligible to the office of Vice-President of the United Stales. A Mysterious Affair.

The agitation of the Bubjeet of sla very should cease. The rights of the South are plain, palpable, well defined and understood, and we believe they should no longSx be treated as open questions. Wo wul maintain our guar anteed constitutional right, and -our right of property in slaves, Georgia has solemnly decided what she will regard .. as future grievances on this subject, and what her remedy will be when these grievances shall be. inflicted. We will standby the Georgia Platform.

The American Party have, again Double-Shotted N. Y. Herald.—The last issue received of tho New York Herald, contains several artielos on the slavery question, in which the real ques tion is honestly and forcibly stated, with an apparent view of informing the North what Justice, the Constitution and the South demand and what the Free States must concede, if they desire the South to remain in the Union.— Bennett states the point with great clearness, and tells the Northern people plainly—“Here is the great, fat South ern goose. You live by plucking it 1 You must do thus and so, or you will lose the bird!’’ There is more common-senso states- Southern temporizers should read the Herald to engender a proper contempt for themselves and their miserable po licy.—-Montgomery Mail. J®“We extract the following curt remarks from the New York Herald, upon the present crisis: “This is the spectacle that is present ed everywhere in the Union, at the present time. The Know-Nothing leaders were abandoned long sinoe by the people, because of the intolerance which their political theories displayed. The ultra pro-slavery leaders have lost the great mass of their followers.' be cause tile people abhor their fallacies.—* The squatter sovereignty doctrines are losing their rank ana file, because it is beginning to bo seen that they practi cally destroy the rights of the people while pretending to maintain them.— Tile musses are rapidly fulling away from the Black Republican leaders, as is seen in the recent elections in Con necticut, Rhode Island and Wisconsin, because they begin to perceive the rev olutionary and destructive designs that animate them. Thus the political lead ers are being everywhere abandoned, and conventions and cliques are con founded by the instinctive adherence of the people to the true theory of solf- governed Stutcs, having different social organizations, can exist and prosper in political confederation. What the people now, everywhere, long for is a political organization that shall discard fanatics' and fallacies to gether, and, returning to the plain and impregnable theories of the founders of the republic, proclaim a political creed consonant in all things with the inhe rent idea of tho American mind, and conservative of the rights of self-gov ernment, and of tho vast interests of this great and growing community.— They will not accept the ideas of the British tories, that any inherent right of government exists' in Parliament or Congress, nor that such a body can del egate what it does not itself possess, nor that one State, or a dozen, have the right to brand any political, municipal, or domestio regulation of another and a sovereign State as a sin and an evil which must be abolished. Whioli is the Convention, and whioh is the politi cal party that will take this, the only American ground T Show it to us, ana we will snow you the party that the American people will entrust with the exeoutive powers of their government. *A new director, in place of R. Hutch ison, Esq., resigned. Commendable.—Eight of the Boston Insurance offices have subscribed* $1(100 in sums of $200 each, for the relief of the families of the two firemen who were, killed in the fire at Merchants’ row, on the 18th of February. Heavy Transport of Silver.—Thirty kegs of silver, (a Government transfer,) en route to new York from New Orleans passed through Alexandria on Friday morning; in charge of Adams’ Express Company. Cultivation of Tobacco in Europe.— The Emperor of Austria has publish ed an ordnance intended to promote the cultivation of tobacco in Hungary, Cm atia, Transylvania, the Waivouine, and ~ mat. and again,-warned the oountry against -4hefe dangers and anti-Southern doc- : trines,' and having already taken our l position upon -them, wo submit that po- ixition to tne people of Georgia for their decision, ana the vindication of the correctness of our cause, and the patri otism of our natives. 3 late decision of tho Supromo ,in the case of endorsement MBS opposition of State Convention "of July, 1859, and with the f< knowledge of the in Georgia upon the slave question: C*J ■ “2.

Patrick Callahan, alias Wheeler, alias Wagnan, was arrested yesterday in Montgomery, by detective Marshall, McGibbony, on a charge of theft. Pat rick was brought batik to this city, in charge of that officer, and had a hear ing this morning before Rsquire T. L. Thomas. On being arrested, his person was searohed, when six gold watches, and thirteen dollars in money, together with some burglars’ tools, known as V outsiders," was found. Two of the watohes were recognized as being the property of Messrs. Veal ft Wood, Jew- olera of this city, by Mr. Wood, one of the firm. : The other watch wm olaimed by Mr. John W. Crew, Conductor on the Georgia Railroad, as his property. Mr. Crew was alsAiobbedof a diamond ring, valued at seventeen dollars, and one hundred and twenty dollars In money, at the same time and place at whioh his watch was fctolen. The money nor ring has yet been reoovered. 'Hie oase was a dear one against Pat rick, and he was bound over in the sum of $1000, whioh sum he oould not give, therefore he wm committed for trial.

The Spurgeon of England seems to have a rival in Pennsylvania. It is said that a youth of seventeen, by the name of Crammon Kennedy, is eleo- trifying and editying the Keystone State. The panegyrio bestowed upon him by an exchange would crown with additional glory the head of our most famous pulpit celebrities, and his head is said to measure twenty-four inches, and to bear great resemblance to that of Webster. MeMuring the head, howev er, is rather a novel way of meMuring the qualifications of a pulpit orator. 2,000 ACRES OF NO. 1 CEDAR VALLEY LANDS FOR SALE I The subscriber offers for sale, all his lands lying in Cedar Valley and near Cedar Town.
