Mtetlf H. mVINELL, Editor & Proprietor. GEO. T. STOVALL, Associate Editor Tuesday Morning* Juno 6, 1800. Fence Jumpers. The gymnastic feats performed by some politicians and editors since the adjournment of the Charleston Conven tion are truly wonderful as well as ex ceedingly amusing. We were surprised to see that Ex. Gov. John A. Winston, of Ala., was on the very opposite aide of the fence from that on which he stood while in Charles ton* and be seems to have vaulted clear over without even touching. He now denounces the seceders, and goes in heart and soul, hand in hand, with Mr. Forsyth for non-intervention and Squatter Sovereignty. When the ma jority report was adopted by the sece- der’s Convention in Charleston, he bolted because the resolutions did not go far enough. He insisted that they should demand protection now, for there was a necessity for it, and he cited the aboli tion laws passed by the Kansas Legisla ture as an instance. The political world is stage up on which nothing but farces are act ed. Senator Iverson and the Baltimore Platform. Mr. Iverson in n recent letter to the Columbus Times, alluding to re-openir the question of platform at Baltimore saysIt is objected by some to the reassembling of our delegates at Balti more, that as a platform was adopted by the Convention at Charleston, that question is settled, and that it cannot be opened at Baltimore, or the plat form altered or amended. This is great mistake. The official proceedings of the Convention show that the plat form was adopted, but the further con sideration of the subject was not closed. To have done so, under the rule of the House of Representatives, under which it acted a motion to reconsider should have been made and that motion laid on the table by a vote of the Convention. Ho such proceedings took place, and the whole subject is yet open for considera tion and final decision. The platform itself may be considered by a majority vote." Unless we are greatly mistaken, the proceedings as published are at fault, or Mr. Iverson has fallen into an error concerning them. Our recollection is very distinct, that Mr. Stuart of Michi gan did move to reconsider, and moved to lay that motion on the table, which was carried. This question then cannot be again opened at Baltimore without unanimous consent, whlbh will never be given. How it is expected to alter or amend the platform we cannot con ceive. Mr. Calhoun on Squatter Sovereignty. “Its (the general government’s) power and authority, having for its ob- cct the more perfect protection and promotion of the safety and rights of each and all, it is bound to protect, by its united power, the safety, the rights, the prop erty, and the interests of the citizens of all, wherever its authority extended. That was the object for conferring whatever au thority it has, and if it fails to fulfil that, it fails to perform the duty for which it was created. It is enough for it to know, that it is the right properly of a citizen of one of these States, to make it its duty to protect it wherever it comes within the sphere of its authority, whether in the Territories, or on the high seas, or anywhere else. Its power and authority were conferred on it not to establish or abolish property, or rights of any description, but to protect them. To establish or abolish belong ing to the States, in their separate sov ereign capacity—the capacity in which they created both the general and their separate State governments. It would be then a total and gross pervers’on of its powers and authority to use them to establish or abolish slavery, or any other property of the citizens of 'the United States, in the Territories.^ All the power it has, in that respect, is to recognize as property there whatever is recog nized as such by the authority of any of the States, its own being but the united au thority of each and all of the States, and to adopt such laws for its regulation and protection as the state of the case may require." Could there be a more explicit, pointed or clearer expression of oppo sition to Territorial sovereignty than this? And yet. says the N. Y. Day Book, Mr. Stephens uses Mr. Calhoun’s great name in such a way as to lead people to believe that he endorsed Mr. Douglas’ inconsistent and untenable hobby.—Savannah News. The Mancfatuiu.no of Mosaics.—A letter from Rome, in the Rochester Democrat, gives the following account of the manufacture of mosaics at the Vatican faccory. “The mosaics copies of celebrated pictures, which are now almost the only ones which adorn the interior of St. Peter’s, are the produce of this manufactory, and are far superi or to the ancient mosaics. The ancients, besider their inferiority in painting, show no delicacy of shading, or such variety of coloring ns has been obtain ed in modern times. The material used for these mosaics is artificial stone, of which 20,0U0 different shades are used No one but a real artist, however one might at first imagine, can excel in such work. It was interesting enough to see a workman with a picture of enormous size before him, working for hours in the selection and fitting of one little piece of stone into the mosaic which is to be its copy. The large mosaics, ei, ‘ teen feet in height, which adorn St. ter’s, have some of them twenty-five years of the labor of several artists. It seems to me that, rather than under take so endless and unproductive a task I would be the slave of a silver mine— and yet the perfection of the work is wonderful. At a little distance it is impossible to tell it from an oil paint ing, and it is next to indestructible. Tlie-mosaics of the Roman churches still last, while the churches themselves have been changed in almost everything else except the solid walls.” Senator Pugh on the Seccdcrs and Mr.l Donglns. I Mr. Pugh continued to controvert the arguments of Mr. Benjamin on this joint. He said that the rupture at Char- cston grew out of the fact that J udge | Douglas, having incautiously said he would not allow his name to be used in case a certain platform was adopted, the the friends of all other candidates uni ted to construct a platform on which he could not stand. That was the ad ministration game, and the South was gotten up proposely to accomplish this end. Mr. Pugh then assailed the re liability of Louisana, Texas, Oregon and other States claimed ns Democratic, which called up the Senators from those States, who severally made explanations. He wanted the Richmond Convention to nominate their candidates. They had no business to come to Baltimore, and if they came, he would sit and vote till the 4th tif March to keep them out. Men who voted for Stephen A. Douglas fifty-seven times, would not get tired of continuing to do so. The gentlemen of the South had made the issue. The had made it a question of personal honor, and so it would stand. The North would not submit to dictation from the South, os to their principles and selection of can didates. They would not level them selves in the dust at the bidding of anyj set of men. Mr. Dougtas was now the impersonation of Northern honor. His enemies had made him greater than hisj friends ever could ; they might kill him at Baltimore if they chose, but his friends ivouh carry his bleeding carcass to the Northeast, and show him to the young men coming to cast their votes, and tell them this is the author of the Kansas-Nebraska bill, and this is South ern gratitude. The Houston Movement.—Another Richmond in the field. The friends of Sam Houston, in New York, are deter mined to run him in spite of conven tions and newspapers. A Houston mass meeting is called to take place “i round the statue of Washington,” in Union Square, on Friday evening next. Among the speakers announced is the Hon. A. J. Hamilton of Texas, who was an nounced by the Douglas men for their meeting last week. Which way, Mr. Hamilton, Houston or Douglas ?' The San Jacinto movement” appears to throw Bell and Everett in the shade in the South West. Several of our Texas exchanges notice muss meetings in dif ferent parts of the State, nominating Houston.. There is a prospect that the Opposition voto will be handsomely divided in the Soutii, which is so much the better for the Richmond nominee. —N. Y. Day Book. THE HOUSE MANSION. SALE AND LIVERY Broad Street, Home, Ga* Kansas Bill.—The bill for the admis ion of Kansas is likely to be defeated, ’'ho Senate Committee on Territories ,re amending the House Bill by an atte ntion of boundaries, which will never the House. Even if it could, it would require such action by the people of Kansas as would preclude her admis sion before the Presidential election. jgy-The Boston Courier says of the Republican nominee for Vice-Presi dent ! “He never had an original idea, and, for his purposes, did not need any. He is not competent to write good English, ns his Message, when he was Governor shows. As a stump-speaker, when he wus an ultra Democrut, he was notori ous for indulging in a low, blackguar ding style. Everybody in Maine knows that. Hi bettor. Failure of a Requisition—Tiie Gov ernor of Ohio on Slave Property.— The Memphis Argus says: “A few days ago we briefly mentioned the arrest in Cleveland, Ohio, of Kenne dy, who eloped from this vicinity some time since with a young unmarried la dy, having also in charge six or seven valuable slaves, the property of his wife. Shortly after the arrest Gov. Harris is sued a requisition on Gov. Dennison, of Ohio, for Kennedy, who was to be brought back here to answer the charge of ’ negro stealing. Deputy Sheriff Swan, of this city, was dispatched for Kennedy, but Gov. Dennison refused to obey the requision-, not recognizing slaves as property, and the officer returned yes terday without his prisoner. BgyThe New Orleans Delta says:— “l'o understand Douglas’ weakness in his own State, it must bo remembered t'latin his late contest with Lincoln, though he succeeded, by stumping eve ry portion of the State, in carrying fl majority of the Legislature he was in a minority of five thousand on the popu- 1 ,r vote. As the President is elected by a popular and not a Legislative vote, it is plain that unless some very remarkar bleand inexplicable change should take place Douglas could never carry Illinois against the Republicans.” Judge Marvin vs. Judge McGrath— The crew of the bark Wildfire were brought beforo Judge Marvin, at Key West, on the 18th instant, under a writ of habeas corpus. A motion to discharge was refused, but all were admitted to to bnil. The Key of the Gulf, adds i ‘The Judge declined construing the law of 1820, making the slave trade piracy, but intimated that lie should dissent from the recent opinion of Judge McGrath, of South Carolina, and that he was now of the opinion that, when the negroes came on board of an American vessel on the coast of Africa they were free, though they were slaves in Africa, which is in accordance with the opinion of Judge Story in tho case of U. S. vs, Battish, 2 Sumner Rep." JS£g"Tho Kinebroker says, that a few duys prior to the decease of Washington Irving, he received a letter from Pauld ing, who, speaking ot their declining years, remarked ,- “Irving, we are run ning a race, and it remains to bo teen which of us shall win the prize.” figyAt a meeting of the Democrats of 11th Congressional district of Massa chusetts on Tuesday last, resolutions fa vorable to Douglas were unanimously passed. Both delegates will now vote for him, which will be a gain of one vote. MORRISON & LOGAN, i “HORSE MANSION,’” formerly owned by Vm. Ram*'y, but more re- contlv by John II.

Even tho St. Louis “Democrat,” with the Lincoln flag up, makes the above record, and says: “On this issue of slavery he has a re cord which must be much more accep table to tho pro-slavery party than the platform adopted at Charleston ; and m tho event of Douglas’ nomination, ortho nomination by the next Baltimore Convention of any Northern man we see nothing to prevent the Tennessee statesman from receiving the undivided support of that party." Love in Humble Life.—In East Bos ton recently, was borne to the grave.— The husband and lover was a young mechanic of twonty-three. They have loved euch other from childhood, and were to have been married some six month ago, when she was prostrated by consumption. About.a fortnight beforo hor death, she had only one earthly, our- w j s jj un g ra tified ; she desired to bo unit ed to him who had loved her so long and so truly, in the hope of being liis in heaven! He could deny her noth ing—he married death! Bolstered up by pillows, and supported in the em brace of her mother, she was united- to her lover. Her feeble voice was hardly audible, in responding to tho questions of tho marriage ceremony. She was his, and said she could die without regret. From t'.iem until she passed away was unable to speak above a whisper, but she appeared happy, and thougn wasted to skin and bone, a pleasant smile left its impression on her face, as her soul roturned to God. family mgp^) Supplies JAS.W.LANESTON, No. 2 Choice Hotel, BROAD STREET, ROME, GA.
