Hr. Bell on African Slavery.
We oontinue to day the publication
of Mr. Bell’s record which he announ
ces as his sentiments at this day, and
whioh, unlike most politicians, ho has
not renounced or contradicted. It
may be considered as the policy which
will control him in the administration
of the Government, should the people
elevate him to the position to which his
consistency, his ability and his fidelity
to the Constitution entitle him. In the
portion whioh wo give our readers to
day, there is a masterly and unanswera
ble argument in the defence of slavery.
He does not urge the cowards plea of
ity ; he does not attempt to shift
the responsibility from the present gen-
ation, and charge our ancestors, now
sleeping in their peaceful graves, with
fastening this evil upon us; he doesnot
whine about the immense loss of pro
perty whioh would necessarily follow
the emancipation* of our slaves. He
goes to divine truth for his authority;
he brings up the history of nations to
sustain it; he ascribes the “gigantic
proportions”of the power and resources
of our own country to the influences of
this institution; he points to St. Domin
go—once a fertile and beautiful island,
now a desert of barbarians -as one of
the baneful effects of emancipation;
and boldly asserts that humanity and
civilization owe a vast "debt to African
Slavery. In conclusion we append the
remarks of the compiler and ask our
reader not to fail to read for themsolves.
Search the debates of Congress, on
this exciting subject from 1790 down to
the present time—examine diligently
the speeches of the most distinguished
leaders of the Southern Democracy, Mr.
Calhoun and his compeers—pore over
all that has been said and written by
the whole tribe of Southern politicians
who have made it a part of their busi
ness, in season and out of season, to in
still into the Southern ear doubts and
suspicions of Mr. Bell’s “soundness on
the "slavery question,” and say, if,
among them all, thero can be found so
masterly a volute... of the accusatory
charges urged against tho people of the
South on account of tho existence in
their midst of the institution of African
slavery.

Tribute of Respect to Hon, John II
Lumpkin.
In the suadon and unexpected death
of the Honorable John II. Lumpkin,
loved and honored, as lie was, wo are
forcibly reminded that “in the midst of
life wo are in death."
How inscrutablo are the ways of Frov-
idenco! On tho evening of tho 9th
inst., we saw him in the full vigor of
manhood occupied in his usual avoca
tions, little expecting that in a few
short hours wc should be called upon
to pay the last duty of respect to all
tliat was mortal of our much esteemed
friend, cold in the embraces of death,
by depositing his remains in the silent
tomb. May we hope that our brother
is removed from tho cares and troubles
of a transitory existence only to rise to
immortality, and bliss, of eternal dura
tion. The loss by death of but few men
has proved a greater calamity, to the
interests, the welfare and the prosperi
ty of tho community in which they
lived, than the loss to us just sustained
by the death of our gifted friend. Tho
numerous mourners and friends, who
loved him, tho various fraternities to
whioh ho belonged, nnd of which he
was one of the brightest lights, the
members of the bar, of whioh ho was
an ornament, all following in silent
grief his remains to their last resting
place, attested the high estimation in
which his many virtues were held in
the “oeiety in which ho moved. Hav
ing held many offices of high political
trusts lie always performed their duties
with a firm adherence to truth and jus
tice, with a capacity seldom equalled,
and with unswerving fidelity. A con
siderable portion of his life—some twelve
years—were spent in public office. Few
are enabled to resist the many teniptn.
tions and allurements incident to po
litical preferment and power; but it
may bo truly said of him that principle
was tho polar star of his political devo
tion, founded upon a conscientious be
lief of what was right and for the true
interests of his country.
“Hero lie the remains of ‘an honest
man, the noblest work of God,” would
be a fitting epitaph to his memory. * He
was known in private Hie only to be lov
ed and honored. Generous and hospi
table kind to all who camo in his way,
no one knew him but to honor him,
and deem it a privilege to be called his
friend. IIow appropriate is it then that
we should meet to bear testimony to
the many excellencies of character of
our departed friend and brother. Let
us revere his memory, let us cherish hU
many virtues.
Be it therefore
Resolved, That in the death of Hon.
John H. Lumpkin, our community has
lost one of its most enterprising and
liberal members; and the State of Goor-
gia a noble and patriotic eitizen who
was always devoted to her best interests
and true to her honor.
Resolved, That we tender to his be
reaved family and relations, In this, the
hour of their deep affliction, our warm,
ost sympathies.
Resolved, That we, as members of this
will wear the usual badge of meur-
nihg for sixty 'days, In honor Of his
memory, and ns a token of our high re
gard for the character and worth of a
departed brother.
Resolved, That the foregoing, pream
ble and resolution be entered bn the
minutes, of the Court. That the papers
of the oity bo requested to publish
the same and a copy furnished to
the mourning family of the deceas
ed. -
On motion it is ordered that tho-Jore
going preamble and resolutlona be en
tered on the minutes of the Court.

Letters of July 1860. F

success, some law-givers have been led
to deny that they are founded in reas
on ; and when they have, at any time,
been suddenly embraced by the con
trolling minds, among the people, the
misfortune has been that they were ap
plied in excess, and without aue regard
to the actual condition of the people
who were to bo affected; and lienee
they have, so far, failed of suocess in
some of the most highly civilized na
tions of Europe.
But it is more to the point to refer to
the emancipation of tne slaves of St.
Domingo; one of the first explosive ef
fects of the sudden recognition of the
rights of man by the Freeh people. It
would be difficult to demonstrate, at this
day, that the cause..of humanity, or of
human progress, has been in the slight
est degree promoted by the abolition of
slavery in that fertile and beautiful is
land. It is, I believe, now pretty well
understood, that British statesmen com
mitted an error in the policy of West
India emancipation, forced upon them
by fanatical reformers. They were driv
en to adopt a. sentiment, instead of a
practical truth, us the foundation of a
radical change in the social condition
of a people, who were not prepared ei
ther to appreciate or profit by it. Even
the reformation in religion and church
government, commenced some three
centuries ago, in the opinion of many
of the most profound inquirers, lins
failed of that complete success which
ought to liavo attended it, for the rea-
suri that the general truths and princi
ples upon which it was founded were
applied in excess. The zealous cham
pions of reform, in throwing aside all
ceremonies and observances which af
fect the senses, and in spiritualizing too
much, there is reason to believe, have
stayed the , progress of substantial re
form, nnd checked the spread of roll
gious restraints upon tho evil passions
of men. But this is a delicate subject,
and I must forbear.
These examples may show that there
aro certain abstract truths and princi
ples which, however incontrovertible in
themselves, like every other good thing
mnv be, and often are, misconceived
and abused in their application. It is
the business of statesmen, in every
country, to apply them with safe'y, and
to give them the utmost practical in
fluence and elfect consistent with the
existing state of society. The most in
teresting illustration of this sentiment
and the most striking example of the
superiority of practical truth over the
oretic axioms, in the formation of gov
ernment, to bo founnd in all history
and one which claims the special atten
tion of the people of this country at
this moment—was exhibited by our an
cestors, when, with ’heir own reco'gni
tion of the abstract truth of tho equali
ty of natural rights still vibrating on
their tongues, they yet fearlessly set
their seals to a covenant of union be
tween these States, containing an ex
press recognition of slavery. I say ex
press recognition ; because, whatever
the jesuitical doctors of the North may
say, the clauses in the Constitution to-
lating to the importation of persons un
der certain limitations, and fixing the
basis of direct taxes and representa
tion in Congress, 1 affirm, do amount
loan express recognition of slavery
The Plot of Insurrection in Texas.
The disclosure of the details of the
lote malignant attempt to excite insur
rection among the servile population of
Texas, has naturally enough aroused in
tense feeling in the localities which
were doomed to fire nnd sword, and is
likely to awaken serious reflection and
concern in other portions of tho Union.
Insurrections have been rare in the
United States, principally because of
tho humanity and lenienoy which have
always so honorably distinguished the
exercise of authority by American mas
ters, whereas, whilst slavery existed in
the English and French West India
possessions, there wns no end to insur
rections, so harsh, brutal and exacting
were the proprietors. Another source
of safety has been tho notorious defici
ency of the negro in the power of
combining and organizing.. The Texas
developments show that the most faith
ful and affectionate servants may be
alienated and corrupted, and that white
men aro on hand to supply the inferior
race with those elements of organiza
tion and combination in whioh (hey are
deficient. In view of these faots, and
of other signs of the times, common
prudence would seem to diotate increas
ed and systematic circumspection and
vigilance on the part of those who are
in authority. —Baltimore American,

Important Discovery.—P.y a careful
examination of tho geography of the
world, it has been ascertained that the
great artesian bore, of Columbus, Ohio,
will, on passing through to the opposite
side of tho giobe come out exactly fif
teen miles from tho groat Chinese wall,
on the China side and about two hun
dred and fifty miles from Pekin. Tliis
is a discovery of iiuportarire, and must
vastly encourage the enterprising citi
zens of our capital, city. If they do not
succeed in obtaining water, they intend
we are told, to pass a telegraph wire
through, so as to bring Columbus into
direct communication with the celestial
empire.
