The Sick Man I
We gave last week the opinion* of
the Democratic doctors of Georgia, who
at the'cSll oftha “painful forebodings'*
committee of Haoon, have each given
to the public a diagnosis of the disease
which has so completely prostrated the
"party.” The doctors disagree widely
asto the cause of the disease; but all
agree in reoommending a change of cli
mate for the patient, and think that of
Baltimore would be. most beneficial.—
Our opinion is, and we give it for what
it is worth, (not thinking that it will
be worth much in the estimation of its
friends,)’that it is the decomposition and
corruption naturally and inevitably re-
■ suiting from the disease known as “dry
rot,” (see Stephens Dictionary.) The
patient is past recovery and the case
will terminate about the middle of
June.
We give in another column the letter
of our immediate representative Col.
Underwood. He agrees with Hon.
Howell Cobb, and is too humane to pro
long the agonies of the patient by ad'
ministering non-intervention stimulants
and “federal pap.” It is a desperate
case and he prescribes a desperate rem.
edy. “Kill or cure” is the label on the
phial. If it kills why then it was too
far gone to be fit to live.
Gov. Brown has also been called in
and as might have been expected he
prescribes “yarb tea.” Becoming sud
denly and extraordinarily forgiving he
grants a free pardon to the “seceders”
as well as to those who aid not secede.
This certainly is more than we expect
ed of our General Jackson Governor.
He thinks a visit to Baltimore would
greatly benefit the patient if not restore
it to perfect health. We look upon it
as a hazardous experiment. In its pres
ent nervous and debilitated condition
should it happen to meet face to face
a “plug ugly,” “dead rabbit,” or “bloo
Uy-tub,” we fear the consequenoesmight
prove fatal. When in good health
these- “bug-bears” have always been
objects of terror to the “great unterri
fled.”
A Homcepathic dose of Troth'
For the information of those who
don’t know, we publish below what is
now termed the “Tennessee Resolu
tion”—the “Ultimatum of the South”—
the "New York bid to the seceders.”—
After the delegations of several South
ern States had withdrawn, and Virgin
ia, North Carolina, Tennessee and Ken
tucky were in consultation whether
they too would follow, the New York
delegation offered this resolution as a
basis of settlement. The chairman of
the Tennessee delegation read it to the
Convention and declared it to be the
“ultimatum of the South.” The Con
vention hod adopted a resolution to
prooeed to ballot for candidates, and
refused to reconsider for the purpose of
voting on this. And it is for this pur
pose that the Southern Seceders are
now invited to Baltimore to settle the
difficulties and. unite the party. It is
what Senator Toombs calls a “partial
installment of the truth,” that is, while
it repudiates Squatter Sovereignty, it
ignores the right of the South to protec
tion. Whether the South will get it at
Baltimore is one question, and whether
she will acoept it is another, whioh we
propose to discuss in our next.
Resolved, That all the citizens of the
United States have an equal right to
settle, with their property in the Terri
tories of the United States—and that
under the decision of the Supreme
Court of the United States heretofore
made on this subject, which, we recog
nise as a correct exposition of the Con
stitution of the United Stales, neither
their rights of person, nor property, can
be destroyed or impaired by Congres
sional or Territorial Legislation.

Letter from J. IV. H. Underwood.
House or Ripresentativeb, 1
Washington City, May 11,'60. J
Gentlemen : Yours of the 6th inst.,
was received this morning, and I em
brace tho very earliest moment to reply
candidly and promptly.
Without expressing any opinion as to
tho propriety of the secession of the
delegates from eight of the Southern
States, at the time it was made, _ from
the National Democratic Convention at
Charleston, I am free to say that the
people of the whole south should sus
tain them. A refusal to do so, would
be booking down from the position taken
by our Representatives, in the past; - we
have been much injured by this course,
and I would avoid it now. Many of our
delegates have been long and favorably
known to the people; they have been
trusted often, and have never betrayed
their constituents. They were on the
ground; their action looks to the pro
tection of our rights and honor and their
course was taken in reference to that ob
ject, and it is no time now to divide our
people upon questions involving issues
so momentous. While I thus uncon
ditionally sustain those who seceded
from the Convention, 1 have no con
demnation to make in reference to
those who differed from the seceding
delegates, and saw proper to remain in
the Convention.
It is a matter of extraordinary regret,
that our own delegation differed as to
the propriety of the course to be pur
sued. It would have been best, had all
acted together; but this is no cause of
strife in the party in our own State, if
wisdom and moderation prevail. Men
ure so constituted, that all will not
think and act alike. I hope all agree
in principle, and when the time for
definite action shall come, all will act to
gether.
At this particular juncture in public
affairs, it is all-important that our rights
should be clearly defined, and our equal
right to carry our property into the
common territories, ana hold it there,
free from confiscation, or exclusion by
“non-action” or “ unfriendly legisla
tion,” and “that the only power which
Congress possesses over the subject of
slavery in the territories, is the power
coupled with the duty of guarding and
protecting the owner in his rights,”
acknowledged and affirmed. The clear
and unmistakable operation of this
principle, abnegates the doctrine that
slavery only exists where there is a local
law establishing it. Nine tenths of
the people of Georgia require the asser
tion of these principles free from any
equivocation or double face, and 1 doubt
not our delegation are prepared to con
tend for them and maintain them.
It is equally important that a candid
ate should be nominated, whose previ
ous political life, affords a sure guaran
ty that these principles will be enforced
in his administration.
It is well known to the country that
Senator Douglas, a prominent candid
ate for the Presidency entertains views
diametrically opposite to what I have
stated to be essential to the preserva
tion of our rights and equality. That
being so, his friends in the convention
refused to incorporate thoso principles
in the platform, and thus presented to
the representatives of the Convention
from the Southern States, a series of
resolutions, which notonly ignored and
denied their equality in the common
territories, but refused their recogni
tion when demanded. Now, did oui
delegates demand anything at Charles
ton to which we are not justly entitled?
Was it unreasonable, after the con
struction that Mr. Douglus had placed
upon the Cincinnati platform, in
his essays and addresses? Not only was
this denial of the platform clearly
made, and that too by the votes of del-
gates representing States that cannot
be relied upon to give a single electoral
vote for President; but by the same
States we were threatened.with the nom
ination of Mr. Douglas for President.—
This was so unjust, and so destructive
of our right, that our representatives
would not submit to it. Will we?
It is a matter of still greater regret
that there should be any division at the
>Sou:h in this crisis, ‘t he union of the
South, for the pre.-ervation',of our equali
ty and honor, is of the most vital im
portance to their successful maintain
mice; and being assured that upon the
return of the seceding States to the
conventional Baltimore in June next,
a platform of principles will be adopted
entirely satisfactory to them, and if not
that all the Southern States, and per
haps ot'ioia, will go out of the conven
tion, I am prepared to give my consent
to the return of our delegation to the
convention at Baltimore.
Let no angry controversy arise in our
party in Georgia. Blame none of our
delegates. Let all go back together—
let us remain political brethren, at least
while we have a formidable foe in the
field.
In my opinion it would be best not to
hold a Convention in our State on the
Sth of June next. I fear it will engen
der strife in our party and divide our
friends at a time when they should bo
united. There is not sufficient time for
a full Convention. If a Convention is
to be assembled—they are fair men and
will reflect the will of the people—they
can converse with, and represent the
people. At all events, if any Conven
tion is held, It should be a full one.—
Let all participate in it, so that no bogus
delegation will be sent to Baltimore to
misrepresent the State, and give its vote
at Baltimore to a man that the Democ
racy of Georgia do not intend to vote
for. Let the voice of the Democracy be
spoken in an authoritive manner, so
that all may heed it.
In conclusion, I will say that the times
are full'of peril, such as toexcite the ap
prehensions of every loyal son of the
South; notsomuch as regards the Demo
cratic party, or the Union, but the rights
equality and honor of the South are in
danger. Our first duty is to ourselves—
to guard, protect and defend our honor
and equality in the Union. To do this
we must be united at home. Thus uni
ted and demanding nothing but what is
right, we will obtain it in the Union,
and the Union will be safe. Withoutuni-
tv of design and action, our equality in
the Union, our rights and honor are en
dangered, the Union imperilled, and
the Demodfatic party defeated. There
fore I counsel moderation. If, however,
this spirit should not prevail, and evil
counsels oontrol, and division in our
ranks at home must come, and an issue
should be mode between the delegates
who seceded from, and those who re
mained in the Convention at Charleston,
my mind is made up. I shall act with
those who demanded nothing but a re
cognition of our just constitutional
rights and equality, and withdrew from
the Convection, when denied and re
fused that.
I am with high respect,
Your fellow eitlcens,
JNO. W. H. UNDERWOOD.

Horrible Accident—Death of
onaut.
The telegraph has already announced
the frightful death of an teronaut
named Augustus M. Connor by the
collapse of the balloon in which he was
making an ascension from Palace Gar
den, New York, on Thursday afternoon.
The New York papers furnish the fol
lowing particulars of the frightful cat
astrophe :
The atternoon was cloudy and gusty,
and the frail fabric swayed so violently
under the slight gale which sprung up
about 4 o’clock, that the fears of the
spectators, some three hundred a.id
fifty in number, were thoroughly arous
ed, and there were loud cries of “don’t
go up,” “don’t go up,” from all sides,
and several personal friends of the
young reronout also entreated him to
postpone the ascension, but he refused.
His wife, who was present, was quite
anxious to accompany him, but he
calmly told her, “my dear, you must
wait till the next time.” •
Shortly before taking his place in the
car, liis attention was called to a rent in
the balloon, when he tied it up, with
a laughing expression that it might
“cause the balloon to burst and spill
him out.” All being in readiness,
shortly after 4 o’clock he bid his wife
an affectionate adieu, and taking his
place in the car, the ropes were cut and
the balloon darted upward, when, at
that instant, it was struck by a squall
and lunged against the cornice of the
Concert building near.
The wind subsiding, the balloon rose
above the high ornaments on the build
ing and then suddenly collapsed, and
with its basket and occupant instantly
disippeared from sight. A scene of
the wildest confusion now ensued, Mrs
Connor and a fern tie relative who ac
companied her, fainting and falling
helpless upon the ground.
Loud shrieks rent the air, both inside
nnd outside of the Garden, and the
Iran tic people rushed hither and thither
without knowing why or wherefore.—
After much confusion an officer suc
ceeded in gaining the roof of the Con
cert Hull, where they found young
Connor lying in an insensible condition,
covered witli tho wreck of his balloon.
With greut difficulty he was removed to
the hall, and examined by a physician,
who pronounced him injured internally,
and in such a manner as to preclude
the possibility ol his recovery. Mr.
Connor continued to sink very ra idly,
and expired at 11 o’clock Inst night in
the arms of his wife. His injuries were
of an internnl nature, and were received
by his striking uguinst the ornaments
on the building.
Tho bulloon was torn into shreds,
nnd the car badly broken. The unfor
tunate young man had brought a suit
against J. Wise, the teronaut, and had
only left the court-house, where it was
being tried, a half hour before his
death. Previous to leaving Court, he
remarked jokingly to the defendant,
“I’m going up to-day, and I guess you'll
he glad if I never come back," verifying
the old adage “that there’s many a true
word spoken in jest.”
The Ratification Meeting at Balti
more-
We desire our Democratic readers to
give a careful perusal to the extract
which we take from the Cincinnati En
quirer, Mr. Douglas’ Northern organ.—
Will the Democracy of Alabama send
delegates to the Democratic Convention
atRichniond, or to the Dougla* ratification
meeting in Baltimore 1
Read the article:
The secession of the delegates from
Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, Ac.,
the adoption of the minority report—
the majority report for Mr. Douglas—
make it a question of manhood on the
part of the friends of Senator Douglas.
They cannot surrender him without at
the same time surrendering their man
hood. Matters have progressed too for
for any compromise of either men or
platform. The Baltimore Platform can be
none other than a mere ratification assembled
—a ratification of the platform adopted at
Charleston, and a ratification of the virtual
nomination <f Mr. Douglas by the Convention
at that place. Without that shall bo
done, the whole affair will be a farce of
the most ridiculous character. The
whole country will laugh at and despise
the proceedings of the Baltimore Con
vention of the 18th of June, should it
yield its manhood by changing its platform or
r fucing to nominate Douglas.—Motngomery

Trade Between Germane and toe
South.—Washington, May 10.—A Central
Committee at Washington, to bo com
posed of leading Southern men and
prominent Germans, is comtemplated
in order to facilitate the proleot of direct
trade for commercial reciprocity be
tween the Southern States of our own
country and Germany. Trade commit
tees, composed of planters and mer
chants, are forming in every cotton dis
trict. Tiiis movement is regarded here
as important, especially in connection
with its future effeot upon the tariff
question. The offloial correspondence,
emanating from the leading Bank of

When humor joins with rhythm and
music, and appears in song, its influ
ence is irresistible; its charities are
countless; it stirs the feelings to love,
peace, friendship, as scare any moral
agent can. The songs of Be ranger are
hymns of love and tenderness; I have
seen great whiskered Frenchmen war
bling the “ioiuw Vills," “Soldals au pat au
pas,’ 7 with tears rolling down their
moustaches. At a Burns festival, I
have seen Scotchmen singing Burns,
while the drops twinkled on their
furrowed cheeks; while -each rough
hand was flung out to grasp its neigh
bor’s; while early scenes and sacred
recollections, and dear and delightful
memories of the past came rushing
back at the sound of the familiar words
and mnsie, and the softened heart was
full of love, and friendship, and Home.
Humorl if tears are the alms of gentle
spirits, and may be counted, as sure
they may, among the sweetest of life’s
charities—of that kindly sensibility,
and sweet, sudden emotion, whioh ex
hibits itself at the eyes, I know no such
provocative as humor. It is an irresis
tible sympathizer; it surprises you into
compassion; you are laughing and
disarmed, ana suddenly forced into
tears. I once heard a humorous ballad-
ist, a minstrel with wool on his head,
and an ultra Ethiopian complexion,
who performed a negro ballad, that I
confess moistened these spectacles in
the most unexpected manner. They
have gazed at dozens of tragedy queens,
dying on the stage, and expiling in
appropriate blank verse, and I never
wanted to wipe them. They have
looked up, with deep respect be it said,
at many scores of clergymen in pulpits,
and without being dimmed; and be
hold, a vagabond with a corked face
and a banjo sings a little song, Btrikes a
wild note which sets the whole heart
thrilling with happy pity. Humorl
humor is the mistress of tears; she
knows the way to the fans lachrymarum,
strikes in dry and rugged places with
her enchanting wana, ana bids tho
fountain gush and sparkle. She has
refreshed myriads more from her natu
ral springs, than ever tragedy has
watered from- her pompous old urn.—
