Harmony at Baltimore.
After the majority platform had been
rejeotod at Charleston, and many of
pute between the Administration and
Mr. Douglas. The “ recognition of our
rights,’’ demanded by Mr. Jackson will
never be granted at Baltimore.
We have no idea that such a hope
exists in the bosom of any one, and the
only object in going to Baltimore is to
give evidence of their willingness to
harmonize upon principle, and to do-
prive the Southern States, who refused
to withdraw from the Charleston Con
vention of every pretext for not uniting
with them in defence of their rights
guarantied by the Constitution.
We may he wrong ; it may turn out
that we are argueing an abstraction, and it
would not surprise us much to make
the discovery.
Gcorgo Sanders* Dispatch to the
President.
The New York Times publishes tho
following as tho dispatch sent from
Charleston by George Sanders to the
President:
Charleston, April 27,1800.
Slidell and Bright are here trying to
breakup the Government. The occa
sion may arrive to-duy for you to act.—
Northern delegates, with the exception
of a Tew from Pennsylvania, New Jer
sey, Massachusetts, Oregon and Cali
fornia, in concert with half the dele
gates from Alabama, two Florida, five
Tennessee, half Kentucky, half North
Carolina, half Maryland, half Missouri,
a few from Georgia and Arkansas,
agreed to tho following addition to tho
Cincinnati platform, which will be
ottered this morning as an amendment
to the slave-code programme of the
majority. [Here was inserted minority
platform.] Tho amendment will re
ceive one hundred and seventy-five to
ninety votes.
Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana,
will probably withdraw from the con
vention. Douglas will then receive a
decided majority on first ballot, and on
second or third will approximate to
tivo-thirds. It is believed that the col
lectors of Boston, Philadelphia, and
New Orleans will make factious oppo
sition, but the Douglas majority will not
be intimidated by anything that the
minority can do. And I hope that
there will be patriotism enough loft in
the country to be brought to bear on
the factious minority, to prevent any
departure from that excellent two-
thirds rule by the majority. I rely on
your patriotism and your generosity.—
Douglas’ exumple nt Cincinnati, by
which alone you could havo been nom
inated, should he followed by every
competitor. Send for Dougins as soon
as the telegraph announces to you that
he has a decided majority of the con
vention, and otter him your support,
and all will he well. You cannot
afford to bo the last President of the
United States. A friend that has never
deceived you, however often he may
have gono in opposition to your views
and wishes,
(Signed) Geo. N. Sanders.
President Buchanan, Washington.
John Bell on Abolition Petitions.
“That Hon. John Bell, the Opposition
candidate for President, voted in Con
gress to receive abolition petitions, no
one denies.”—Times.
We deny it, broadly, squarely, nnd in
the most emphatic manner, and call for
the proof. Tho Times refers to the
’’Register of Debates in Congress in
1835," _ to substantiate its assertion.—
That is the very authority which we
have been examining, and we say that
it proves Mr. Bell to have been an ex
treme and ultra opponent of abolition
petitions. He was against all dodging
or evasion ot the question, and con
sistently demanded a vote on tho ques
tion of reception, utterly scorning nnd
loathing tho miserable Democratic
expedients to evade it. He voted
against motions to lay such petitions on
the table, because he demanded a rejec
tion of the _ petitions, and in. this vote
he was rustained by such ardent South
ern men as Hammond, Pickens and
Pinckney of South Carolina, Mason
and Wise of Virginia, and others whom
the Democracy now laud ns Southern
Rights leaders. _ Whenever tho fair
question of reception or rejection was
presented, Mr. Bell voted against the
reception of the petitions. Wo chal
lenge proof to the contrary.—Columbus

Bell ami the Missouri Compromise
The Columbus Times denounces the
vote of Mr. Bell against tho repeal of
the Missouri Compromise us’ a “black
record,” and adds “the South will not
so far forget her interest as to commit
her destiny to a man who has gene
rally sided with those ‘least friendly to’
her.”
This is one side; now for tho other.
Juat ten years ago a Southern Convention
—an ultra, fire-eating Convention—as
sembled in Nashville and declared thut
this same Missouri Compromise was just
aiul right, and if Congress did not give
it to the South as a setttement of the
then pending controversy, they would
destroy the goeemment and set up a Southern
Confederacy in its place I
Now, we wish to know, whom those
southern men at Nashville “sided
with ?”
We furthermore desire to know how
it happens thut the Missouri Compro
mise, which pas perfectly acceptable to
these southern fire-eaters in 1850, but
lour years afterwards became so obnox-
ious a measure that a man who voted
to sustain it should bo denounced as
unfriendly to tho south and an unsafe
depository of her interests.—Savannah
Rep.
What Caused Seward’s Defeat.
The Cincinnati Enquirer of Sunday
says:
It was generally conceded nt Chica
go, on Thursday evening last, the day
before the’ bulloting for President by
the Convention, that Mr. Seward would
be nominated. Greely was so well sat
isfied ot' it, that ho telegraphed his Tri
buno to that effect, though he himself
was violently opposed to Seward. The
correspondent of the Commercial, of
this city, telegraphed that there was no
doubt of Seward's nomination the next
day. Other correspondenca predicted
the same thing. Un the strength of
that general conviotion, the friends of
Mr. Seward crueked three hundred bot
tles of champagne at tho Tremont
House, Thursday evening. The ques
tion naturally arises, how it is then that
he was not nominated if We will an
swer as we got it from an intelligent
Republican who was present.
He tells us that the three Republican
candidates for Governor for the respect
ive States of Pennsylvania, Indiana und
Illinois went together to the several
d
How they are Tumbled In.
The way the Democracy of Georgia
are falling into line is a terror to tho
disruptionists. The Columbus Times,
heretofore one of the most extreme
journals of the State, and influential
with all, comes out for tho National
Democratic organization and Bultimore
Convention in one of tho most pithy
sensible articles that wo havo read lor a
long time. Hon. H. V. Johnson,
Judge Nesbitt, Hon. A. R. Wright, und
Hon. Robert McMiilan, are all out for
the Baltimore Convention and the Na
tional Democracy. We believe that
every Democratic paper in Georgia, ex
cept one, lias taken the same view.—
Tho disruptionists are doomed to a per
fect Waterloo in the Empire State of
tho South. Alabama will not bo far in
rear; and by election day in November
she will bo ready to roll up her accus
tomed old majority for the nominee of
tlie National Democratic Convention.
The car of the people’s opinion will
roll over and crush the disunionists in
Alabama in a manner that will give
peace and tranquility to the country for
a long time to come. Let the clamor
ous and noisy disruptionists and seces
sionists go on and enjoy their brief
career like the butterflies—this summer
is their last. So says tho Montgomery
(Ala.) Confederation.— Wash. States,

The Great Political Text Book.
The N. Y. Daily News, commenting
upon this work says .-
“It will prove the most important
political vade meeum ever presented to
the American public. The work is got
ten up in alphabetical order, and con
tains the substance, or the whole text,
of every great question now agitating,
or which is likely for a long time to

ions of the Supreme Court in the Dred
Scott Cose, nnd a synopsis of everything
in our political history touching the
slavery question. Banks, tariff's, and a
host of oflier important questions come

“The reader will be astonished at the
mass of matter it contains. It is a per
fect compendium of American political
history, und, to ull interested therein,
presents as ninny attractions as the
most fascinating novel does to the lover

Last of the Wanderer Trials.
Tho trials growing out of the impor
tation of Africans in the yacht Wanderer
which havo excited so much interest
throughout the eounty, and kept out
own community in n ferment for near
ly two years, were brought to a sudden
und most unexpected termination in
the U. 8. Circuit Court, yesterday after
noon.
Upon the opening of the Court in
the forenoon, Mr. Justice Wayge alone
on the bench, Mr. C. A. L. Lamar was
arraigned on a bill of indictmeut, for
holding os a slave an African, of the
cargo of the Wande-er. A jury was im
panelled without difficulty, nnd a num
ber of witnesses were examined on the
pnrtof the United States, when, at 2
o’clock, the Court adjourned until 4
o’clock, p. m.
Upon its convening at that hour, the
District Attorney, Mr. Couper, rose and
announced that ir consequence of the
construction wliioh his Honor had given
to the 6th Section of the Aot of 1818,
and the intimations thrown out by the
Court as to the insufficiency of the evi
dence introduced by the prosecution to
connect the defendant, Mr. Lamar,
with the Wanderer, he felt it would be
useless to proceed further in the case.—
Mr. Couper then entered a nol. pros, in
that case, nnd the coses of the U. S.,
against C. A. L. Lamar,. R. F. Akin, J.
F. Tucker, II. DuBignon, R. L. Motte,
and the piracy case aguinst Nicholas
Brown.
The cases of Corrie and Farnliam, wo
believe, are now all that remain on the
docket.
, This abrupt termination of these
trials was the subject of much remark
on the street, but in view of the dis
turbance they have created in our com
munity—often arraying friend against
friend nnd the utter hopelessness" of a
conviction in the end, we believe all
were gratified with the result. If Afri
cans ure to bo imported, we hope in
Heaven that no more will be landed on
the shores of Georgia.—Savannah Re

Supreme CounT.—This tribunal met
in this place on Monday morning last,
all the Judges and other officers being
in attendance, together with several dis
tinguished attornejs from a distance.—
We have not learned whether there is
much business to be disposed of or not.

Speculation in Public Lands.—Tho
Senate Committee on Public Lands
havo before them a bill from the House,
which prohibits the sale of the public
lands to any one except actual nettle! s,
for ten years from the time of their sur
vey. The Committees will probably re
port the bill, and thus prevent specula
tors from purchasing these lauds with
out actual settlement.

The Neoroes at Kev West.—Tlie cor
respondent of tiro Now York Herald,
writing concerning the cargo of the
Wildfire, at Key West, says:
The negroes seem to"be perfectly hap
py and i on tented and are singing clap
ping their hands, and dancing their
country dances at stated intervals dur
ing the day. They are visited by the
whole population. This cncnnipmenl,
in fact is the only attraction on the
Key j nnd it is worth a voyage of a
thousand miles to see them. The wo
man aro, some of thorn, most attract
ive in person ; they tire generally clean,
are but slightly tattoed, and havo by no
means the repulsive looks nnd manners
of our native slave population. They
exhibit marked signs of affection for
each other, and are perfectly over
whelming in their fondness with the
white children of the key.
It is a pity that they should ho scut
back to barbarism again, as they will
undoubtedly be for such has been the
fate of nearly all who have gone to Li
beria, better colonize the keys of Flori
da with these creatures, or let tlie gov
ernment support them until they ure
old enough to take care of themselves.
Mast of them are helpless, being yet
children, and will be tor several years,
and if sent to Liberia will have to be
supported for a long time by our gov
ernment or by tho Colonization Society.
Mr. Isaac V. Fowler at Charleston.
—The New York Tribuno states that
tho exposure of Mr. Fowler’s defalca
tion, which it alleges has been known
to the President from the commence
ment of his Administration, was in con
sequenco of Ids support of Mr. Douglas
at Charleston. Upon which the Phila
delphia Press says the statement is en
tirely incorrect. Mr. Fowler was a
steady, uncompromising opponent of
Mr. Douglas. Neither Sclicll, nor Coch
rane, nor Crostvell, were more complete
ly in tho interest of the Southern ex
tremists than Mr. Fowler rvus, although
prcviouslg to the meeting of the Cbnvetition,
the friends of Mr. Douglas had reliable as
surances of his co operation.
Doubtless the administration did
know that there was a large deficit in
the New York post office when the
Charleston Convention met-, and it may
be that Mr. Fowler’s knowledge <f his em
barrassments controlled his action, in a great
measure, as a delegate.—Rich. Whig.
