M. OiVlNEiiL) Editor dt Proprietor. GEO* T* STOVALL* Associate Editor Saturday Horning, June 2, 1800. 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 Enq, I at 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, (Douglas.) 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 come to agitate, the nation, “Among mutters now challenging considers lion, it contuins nil the opin 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 iu for their share of attention. “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 of fiction. In short, it is a most impor- fiMinfiva wni*lr tf 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 publican. 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. —Athens Watchman. 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.
