We will never oonsent to it, rad will denounce it as it deserves if i should ever be entered into;.-' 1 'TOBTIOB,?RESIDENT. Edward Everett of Mass, — Our Program**. We have hoisted the naffies of Bell and EVerett at pur masthead. We have done so, because they are the nom inees of the Constitutional Union Par ty; Because tfe have the utmost confi dence in their fidelity, ability and in tegrity, anct because we believe that by their election Republicanism and Squat ter Sovereignty will be effectually van quished, and the Government once more administered with wisdom, hones ty and purity. In order to bring about a result so desirable, we will use all fair and honorable means, holding up be fore the people our leaders as men worthy their admiration—as Statesmen worthy the highest honOrs of their countrymen, and as candidates worthy the suffrages of the people. We will exhort the honest voters of the land, by the love which they have for their coun try, to rally to their support, and by electing them to the first offices in the Government, once more restore our dis tracted country to happiness and tran quillity. So much for ourselves. Now as to ' our opponents. For some years past the opposition or Constitutional Union Party in Georgia, have denounced Squatter Sovereignty and opposod the Democracy upon the ground that this doctrine was contained in the Kansas Bill, a measure which gave them strength at the South and which con tained thd principles of that party upon the subject of Slavery. We charged that this dangerous heresy was in thaji Bill, and they denied it. In vain did webring forward to sustain the charge the speeches and letters of its strongest friends at the North. The people be lieved them in preference to us. The truth, however, could not always be smothered up. It at last became so ap parent that even the most practiced and expert demagogues could deeieve the people no longer. Democratic leas ders and presses denounced the danger- . ous heresy in the bitterest terms, and demanded of their Northern allies, a fUll, fair and unequivocal declaration of the truth as enunciated by the Su preme Court. We sustained them in their just demands and contended that they should persist even to a disruption of every tie that bound them to their Northern friends. This they did, and by it won our admiration. Almost the entire opposition press in Georgia up held them, and defended them against their enemies in their own ranks. We did,so with no sinister motive. We bet lieved Ay were right, and honestly told the people so. But there was a portion of the Demo cratic Party in the South who were wil ling to hang on to the organization and take Stephen A. Douglas as their nom inee. At first, this faction was insignifi cant in numbers and influence. Against them we declared war and waged it to the best of our ability. They are our enemies. With them.we have no sym. pathy and our wish has been, and still it to see.them completely routed and placed tinder the heel of popular indig nation. On the other hand are the Constitu tional Democracy, fighting for princi- pies against our common foe—the Douglasites. So long as they stand up to their principles manfully and faith fully, and^’fight those who are opposed to those principles, we have no quarrel with them. If war is begun between us, on our part it will be a war of de fence. After urging them by every ar gument which we could use, and incit ing them by every motive of duty and honor, we will not now turn our bat teries upon them and give aid and com fort to their enemies, and our enemies. We would spurn such an act as dis honorable. We do not intend to do all in our power to build up the Douglas party in Georgia. We do not intend to dilligentiy scrape up every newspaper item, encouraging to them and publish It to the world. We cannot change front so suddenly. We began the fight upon principle, we intend to con tinue the fight upon principle and con- f quer or idl in its defence. No consid- \ edition of mere party expediency can in- • duce us to desert it, and go over to the enemy. We have taken our position V upon it and there we will stand for- fever. With th« JJWtbuuti# we have begun Tribute of Hespect. * Whilst gloom pervades all ranks and callings of our city and surrounding oountry on account of the sudden death of our beloved companion, the Hon. John H. Lumpkin, we too as the Royal Arch dhaptsr, No. 26, of Free and Ac cepted Masons have to .bewail and mourn the irreparable loss that we have sustained in the death of our Most Ex cellent H. P., and one of the founders ot the order at this place. Be it therefore resolved that we deep ly deplore the loss we have sustained. That we mingle otar sorrows with the legal Profession of whom he was a bright ornament, . with the statesmen among whom he has placed his name high in the niche of Fame, and above all with the common community, and yeomanry of the country to whom he was the most endeared. Resolved, That we tender to the be reaved family and relatives of our de ceased companion our most heartfelt sympathies for their irreparable loss. Resolved, That the members of this Chapter, as a'token of their lasting re gard and brotherly love for their decea sed companion wear the usual badge of mourning for thirty days. Resolved, That a copy of this pream ble and resolutions be sent to the fam ily of our deofilsed companion and that they be published in the city pa pers. JESSE LAMBEKTH, WM. RAMEY, (com WM.

In the road he saw a shoe be longing to the young lady and on enter ing the house found her in a state of nudity, lying dead, her brother and one other man being in the house at the time. • There were several cuts upon her person. She was brought to the ci ty the same evening and buried the next morning. The circumstances war rant suspicion of foul play, and if the facts are as they were Btated to us, we are surprised that it has not heretofore been brought to tho -notice ot the au thorities. We have respectable names in our possession, and are prepared to furnish them when called for.—Savannah Repub lican. W. B. TERHUNE, A Royal Fiend.—The means in use by the degraded Kjng of Naples for tortur ing suspected persons among his'sub jects, as described by the London Times, is most revoltipg. One person, for mere ly carrying a let ter in cypher, was placed in a sack and kept beneath the water until he had lost consciousness three times. The thumb-screw was used to extort confessions, and also an instru ment called the tourniquet; which was applied to the head, which makes the eves start forth and almost drop. Fon- tfllo, a lieutenant of Maniscular, invent ed an arm afaair, in which the victim is seated on a sort Of gridiron, under which is a pan of coal. Another way was to tie the head of the vidtirn between his legs, and leave him in that position un til ho confessed. Another instrument Was the sbini, or ‘.’angelic instrument,” in which, by .turning a screw, the limbs of a victim are crushed. On one occa sion a man was suspended in the air.his arms being tied to one wall and his legs to another, and in that position an offi- cer.of the police jumped upon him and beat him. —.. _ _ sentation from each State havins one . unrelenting uncompromising irarfkr* yote, and d^naftmty of the%tat«s . until they are completely exterminated, being necessity to a choioe.

How Congress Elects the President and Vice-President. It may be useful, just about this time, to re-produce the statement which the approaoh of a Presidential election makes opportune every four years. It is thus succinctly given by a writer in the New Yoru Daily Times: The House of Representatives has nothing whatever to do with the eleo- tion of o Vice-President, nor the Sen ate with the election of a President.— The powers of each body are distinct and entirely independent of the other. If no President be chosen by the electors, the House of Representatives may choose the President, their choioe being restricted to the persons having the highest numbers, not exceeding three on the list of those voted for President. If no Vice-President be. chosen by the eleotors, the Senate shall choose the Vioe- President from the two highest numbers on the list of those voted fot Vice-President. * li the House fails to elect a President before the 4th of March next following, then the Vice-President whether elect ed by the eleotors or by the Senate, shall oot as President. The rule or manner of voting under whioh the Senate chooses a Vice-Presi dent, is exaotiy the reverse of that which governs the House in choosing a President—each being the reverse of the general principle or basis upon whioh the respective bodies are organi- The House, representing the Johnson Condemned by Douglas. - In Lis famous article, published in Harper’s Magazine, Mr. Douglgs made the following observation In the first column on the socond page of-that re markable treatise on popular sovereign ty: “It is difficult to conceive how any person who believes that the Constitu tion confers the right of protection in the Territories, regardless of the wishes of the people ana ot the action of the territorial legislature, can satisfy his con science and his oath of fidelity to the Constitu tion in withholding such Congressional legisla tion as may be essential to the enjoyment of such right under the Omstitution. Under this view of the subject, it is impossible to resist the coneluson that, if the Constitution does establish slavery in the Territories beyond the power of the people to con trol it by law it is the imperative duty of Congress to supply all the legislation necessary to its protection.” Mr Douglas clearly intimates in the foregoing, that any man who believes that the Constitution confers the right to hold slaves in the Territories, does violence to his conscience, and breaks his oath of fidelity to the Constitution, if he withholds s*oh congressional legis lation os may.be; necessary to secure the perfect eqjoyment of that right. It seems from the following extract from a letter written by Governor John son on May 28th; I860, * year after hav ing read Mr. Douglas’ article, and when he had a foil knowledge of the Douglas platform, that Gov. J.’s position on the question is precisely that to whioh Mr. Douglas’ charge of faithlessness to the oath of fidelity to the Constitution ap plies with full vigor and effect. The following is the extract to which we re fer: “I believe that it is the right of the South to demand, and the duty of Con gress to extend, protection to persons and property of every kind (inoluding slavery) in the Territories during their territorial state. This is no new opin ion, I advocated the doctrine as far boot as 1848, in the Senate of the Uni ted States. If you have any curiosity to see the argument, I refer you to my speeoh on the Oregon bill, delivered 7th July ol that year, and reported in the Congressional Globe. How unjust,there fore, are the insinuations with which you intersperse and interlard your ed itorial comments that all are in favor of ‘Squatter Sovereignty’ who happen not to agree with the soceders from the Charleston Convention I I repel the in sinuation so far as itmay be intended to apply to me, oome from what quarter it mav, and plead my own record in vindi- ’’But this is not the question now be fore the Democratic party of the South.
