‘journal ,V 8. T. CH VIVM V> A *. KMKt Mil*** The Demorrafit* CMY€itlMI This body which met in Baltimore on the 22J in at after a stormy and protracted session, finally nominated Gen Lewis Cass of Michigan, and (Jen. W O. But* 1,1 a of Kentucky, and now Coinmander-in-Chiet oi our army in Mexico, aa their candidates tor tlu* Pres idency and Vice Presidency. The proceeding of the Convention will be rep'iitie 1 with deep interest by tie country *t large . and by the South in particu Inr. It is generally known that there were two delegations from New-York, representing the respective wings of tin party in that State, known a.- the Old Hunkets amt Barn Burners, or as tin* pro slavery and anti-slavery tactions. The former Dele gates had been appointed at meetings held at Albany and Syracuse and the latter by conventions held ai Utica and Herkimer. Lath of these delegations de manded seats in the Convention. At its organization they were both excluded and a committee of one bom , each state appointed to confer with them und report j upon their case. On the second duy of the Convention, and after the j rule making a vote of two thirds necessary to the choice of the Candidales lo be selected, the committee report- J ed that they had required as a preliminary condition , that the respective delegations should pledge themselves to abide the nomination. This the Syracuse, or Old Hunker party agreed to do ; but the Barn-burners, or the Utica Delegates refused on the ground that no such | pledge was required of other delegations. Messrs. Cambreling and Wilson addressed to the committee, a letter in which they say . “They would feel themsclveH unworthy to represent ihe democracy of New York it’ they could submit to a condition which impeaches th integrity of their representatives, and which would dis honor our State by subjecting its delega les to a condi tion which the Convention xpreasly declined to impose upon the delegates of any other Sate in the Union pri or to theiradmission. The delegates of the democra- cy of New York must be admitted to the Baltimore National Convention unconditionally or not at all “ The Committee therefore by a vote of 16 to 8, report ed in favour of the Syracuse (Old Hunker) Delegation. This produced a stormy debate which continued during the whole of the second day. Alt the resolutions and the report were finally laid upon the table and a propo sition was adopted, giving each of the Delegations the right to be heard by tiro of their delegates m speeches of one hour each on the morning of the third day The proceedings of the third day were mainly con fined to this single question, and are so important that we give them entire as fouud in the Baltimore Sun u. Thursday last : Mr. Diggs, of North Carolina, proposed a preambit and resolution, that whereas there are two sets of dele gate from New York present, both claiming to be the delegates of that State ; and whereas, great difficulty exists in determining the claims of these two sett— therefore, resolved, that both be admitted to seats on this floor, and to participate in the proceedings of thi convention. This resolution was declared not to be in order ; and the convention proceeded to the considera tion ol the SDerinl onW, die case of the compet ing delegate® fiom New York. Mr Dickinsou addressed the convention. He com hienced with an allusion to the importance to succes.- of organization in the Democratic party. It was thii w’hich had brought before the country, from time to time, its chosen servants. Not only was organization necessary, but an adher ence also to that organization. New York had unfor tunately now come before this convention with a divid ed front—with two sets of delegates. And it was necessary for the convention to decide before the organization here can be complete, which is the genuine and which the spurious delegations - He denied that both the delegations could bejlegafly admitted. It was time to decide who are in the right and who are in the wrong. Ik called upon the conven tion in the name of democracy, to settle the question It was necessary to the future harmony and united ac tion of the New Y ork democracy. He denied ihe assertion which liad bee n made, that anyone who came here and submitted to a test degrad ed himself. The delegation of which he was a mem ber had been called upon to act, by the committee, and acknowledging the authority of the Convent ion which had constituted that rommitu*., tfo- r had without sub mitting to any invidious distinction, submitted to the tr>i required—a test in accordance with the principles of the New York democracy, and of the democracy of the Union. HouliltoGod liiat every democrat throughout the Union would submit to the ssine degradation. No ‘ State was admitted into the Union without submitting ! to a teat. She is told mat she must [iresettt a repuhh- j can constitution, but she does noi sot this refuse and go ! borne. Ibe President ol this Contention, in the nu merous portions winch be h:.. held with so much honor to lumaell and c redit to the country, could never have entered upon three duties without the spoliation of s tal lost test was his oath to support the eonstiiulion of tbe United Slat*,. No member of a church was ever admitted without tin application of a tesi— the dee l&ration of his fruh in the doctrines of ihe Chrisnan I religion. In the present case , both delegations had come here Will! at least a suspicion upon their rights to represent the democracy of New York ; and. therefore, waa „ proper that thib teat should he applied. Up to the adoption ol the new constitution of the State and ihe meeting of ike Syracuse convention, then had been but one organization in New Yoik The Syracuse convention assembled, slid their friends who claimed lo represent ihe democracy of New York here instead of the delegation .#w hieli In- m 0 member, were beaien on every vote. But there was no withdrawing •torn the convention—no protest tlien. lie proceeded loan examination of the factsconnect ed with those proceedings, in relerence to the manner of appointing dr legs tea to this Convention, and con tended that the change pto } iosed and carried into effect, v. aa watranted by ihe demands of the people, and irue democratic mags. -1 **• Syracuw convention concluded ita |bor, anil the member* went to their iwpcctire home*.

After hearing n speech nilnvor of arresting the public works, to nave the credit of the State—he exclaimed, in despair, “These reckless fc‘lows, are like the former, who, for the take of driving the rats from his granary, burned down his ham.” The democrats carried the bill, and the departure ot the hordes of canal contractors, who had swarmed around 1 ihe legislature, was not unlike the object which the far mer had in view. The “Hunkers” arc so called,be cause the term is supposed to be significant ot ihoir in v ---i ing principles in politic?- -to get all they can ; and keep all they get. After a few introductory remarks, Mr S. discussed at length the iaoe between the delegates, contend ing that ihe action of the Syracuse Convention, ap pointing a State Committee and recommending thai delegates to the National Convention be chosen by dia* ! tncts was unauthorised and invalid ; that the Utica . Convention was regularly colled by n legislative caucus,; and that the friends of the Albany delegates loc k part j in ihe call of the caucus, in its deliberations and votes,. and thereby concluded from disputing its authority. ! He made frequent references to the published proceed j ingot the Conventions in Ncw-York, and read ex-’ ! tracts from the Albany Argus in support ot Ins views. i Mr. S. closed by saying that it was evident a concer- I ted effort hod been got up to prejudice the Utica dele , | gates here,by creating the irnpressiou that they were , ; political abolitionists. Mr. S. said: Sir: we are no I political abolitionists. So far ore we from it, that we j have often met them os political foes. We ore opposed j to any interference with ihe domestic institutions ot any of the States. Let a proposition be started, openly or insidiously, to invade the reserved rights of the States, and no sentinel on the democratic outposts w ill sound the alarm,or respond to its call,sooner than those who keep watch ill the Umpire Slate. \ r et while I make this declaration, I owe it tomy Sinte, and to the lepre sentatives of the oilier Stott s here assembled, to avow* bat while the democracy of New-York will maintain all the reserved rights of the Slates, they are uncom promisingly in favor of extending to nil the free territo ry belonging to the Union, the provisions against sla- very contained in that ordinance which was introduced by Jefferson,and extended to the North Western terri tory in 1767. I am aware that the avowal may exclude us from this convention, but we have only to osk if you reject us on this ground,you wdi state it frankly and distinct ly. If we go out, wesltail not leave dejected, dismay ed or disheartened, but with a confident reliance upon the future, und our banner uplifted, bearing the motto; The principles of Jefferson, dear to New-York, now and forever.” Mr. Henry A. F ster of New Y’ork, for the old hun kers followed, in a general examination ot the pro ceedings at Syracuse, and the subsequent action of the bun-burner* at Herkimer and Albany. Mr. Preston King, of New-York for the bum-burn ers, ex preened the views of that division of the New-) York Democracy on the question of slavery—that the resolutions adopted at their conventions expressed the sentiments ot a great majority of the democrats of'New- York, and concluded w ith an intimation that the suc cess of the nominee of the convention depended upon the vote of New-York, which would be greatly influen ced by the action of the convention on this subject. Mr. Doolittle of New-York addressed the convention on the same side. He had disapproved the proceedings both at Herkimer and Syracuse, but had given the nom inees of the former convention an efficient support. He conceived tlie barn-burners, of w hich party he was a delegate to th : s convention, right, notwithstanding, and their delegates entitled to their seats. Mr. Chambreleng, concluded the argument, also in behalf of the bam-burners, appealing to the course of the democracy of New York at every Democratic Na tional Convention, to his own individual course, in con nection with the democratic party, and to the test which it had now, for the first time during his life, been propos ed to apply to his political onhodoxy. He trusted that the time would never arrive when the ties between the North and the South would I** severed, but if it should arise the democracy of New-York would be found standing by the constitutional rights of the South in regard to any interference with so r institutions. Mr. Van Swearinger, of Missouri, proposed a ques tion to Mr. C. in regnrd to the course which the Barn burners would pursue, if not admi’ ted, toward the nom inees of this convention and of the convention about to assemble at Philadelphia ? but Mr. Cambreling did not seem to consider it necessary to reply. Mr. Yancey then obtained the floor, and offered a resolution, that as the convention had heard the argu ments of the respective delegations from New-York, i the rnemlters appointed by the Syracuse and Albany State Conventions.be admitted as the regular consti-j I tuted delegates to seats as members of this convent ion. The chair decided the resolution not to be now in or der, and Mr. Yancey then moved that the report of the 1 ! committee on credentials in ‘hiscase, and the amend- j ments thereto, Ire taken up for consideration, which motion prevailed, and Mr. Y r . proceeded to advocate the adoption of the report, for the reason that the argu ments of the barn-burner delegates had satisfied him that upon the subject of slavery they did not represent the doctrines of the democratic party. At the conclusion of his reninrks lie withdrew’ the amendment w’hich he had yesterday offered to the resolution of the commit tee on credent, ils,and moved the previous question on the adoption of the report ot that committee. On the conclusion of Mr. Y’ancy’a speech, and mo tion for the previous question, great excitement and confusion arose in the Convention, which the President promptly interposed to arrest. He rose and addressed th a Convention for some moments He called upon them in the strongest and most emphatic manner to pre serve ihe order and decorum of the body. He appealed to the individual members of the Convention,and urged them as the representatives of’ the whole Democracy of the Union, as American citixens and gentl* mm,to pre serve order and dignity in their deliberations. The eyes of the whole nation were now fixed upon them,and it was due to themselves and to their country and its glorious institutions, that pence and harmony, order, decorum, and dignity, should characterize the proceedings of this important assembly. He called upon the Convention to aid him in preserving order and de corum in its proceedings. {This address had the happiest effect; the whole house became immediately still and orderly, nnd adjourned until A o’clock ; every member retaining his seat until I the nd-ournment win pronounced Moat of the mem- , beraofthe Convention seemed highly gratified at the course of tlu*r President, and were seen surrounding and slinking him by the hand, and congratulating him on the happy effect of his interposition. It is to he hoped that it may produce good, and contribute to ally the ex- i i citement and danger ] After o few remarks from Mr Howard, the conven | lion adjourned to 5 o'clock P M. Aftisnoom tonw. • The Convention aaremMed pursuant to ad|oumment At 5 o’clock, and proceeded to the transaction of the buaineas before it Mr. Yancey snid he had been requested to withdraw ‘ j It s motion for the previous question, and though the gentleman who desired to speak had declined to renew the motion, he nevertheless Irlt constrained to with draw the motion. Mr Meade offered the following aa a suHtitutr forthe | resolution of the committee : Kraoltrd, That this Convention having heard the statements and arguments of both delegations from tlie State of New-York, und being antified that the Syra i cune Convention wns regularly convened according to i usage, and had full authority to presenbr the rules by which the democratic party of New-Yotk should be or gnoixed, and that the rules prescribed by that Conven tion have not been since abrogated hy any competent au thority, is of opinmn that the delegation usually called tin* Syracuse am! Albany Delegations, art the legiti mate repreN-ntatives of the democracy of New York. Kcmjlred tier*fort, That sui i delegation h and the) are hereby admitted as members of this Convention. Mr McAllister, of Georgia, said that these contend ing delegations had come here, and requested this con vention to decide between them—that it was useless to expert them to do it themselves. A committee of this body had report'd in favor of one deign tion. And; though he felt it to be the duty of these delegates to set | tie their own difficulties, slum Id they hesitate, lie would j ask, after hearing both parties, to decide, merely be cause it is the Empire State, which is involved ? Should they refuse to perform then duty from motives of mere pol cy I lie repeated.it was die duty of New-York to oeitlr their diflirullies. It had brrn ao settled by tt e Syracuse convention, whi*h convention bad the power | to designate (be manner in which delegates sliali hr chosen. lie supported the resolution of the gentleman from Altharua from no considemuon connected with the question of slavery. The remarks of the getnlenisti fiuui New-York, ( Ml. Cumbtelelrng) had met s res poriM iti hi* own bosojit, and I.J they been c.nboJ.wd an the sense of that delegation, he then should have lad nothing to influence his action but the credentials ol ti e members. They had been threatened with the indig nation of Ncw-York. He read from the resolutions t the Democratic Contention in Georgia, in reference to slavery, os the principles of the whole democratic par ty. He sympathized with the New-York democracy, • he had crucified himself at home by his adherence to 1 Mr. Van Boren, and he could not believe that the dem- 1 J ocratic party ol New-York was about to forsake their | friends. If they did, he shou'd feel that the most serious 1 blow which he had cceived for his adherence to Mr i Von Ifaren, had been received through the bosom of ! his friends. .Mr. R. P. Thoni|i*on expressed hit* surprise at the grounds upon winch the gentleman from Alabama had based the resolution, which hr had offered, excluding the Barnburners from this convention, because the) | had expressed an opinion in opposition to his own views on the question of slavery. To soy to the democracy jof New York, that we had turned them out he ; cause they were a little wrong on the subject of the Wilinot Proviso. Aswellmighl they propose to the dele gation of Pennsylvania such a test on the question of the tariffof’ 42. He aigl the delegation who acted with him, protested against turning them out on such grounds* and therefore it was,‘that he now proposed to offer the ; following resolution, which would be in order: Whereas the Democracy of the State of New York have sent to this convention two different delegations, each claiming to be the legitimate representatives of that State ; and whereas, after a full argument of the question be tore this convention by the respective parties, it is difficult for members of this convention to decide in the premises, without distracting the democracy oi ol the State of New York and of the Union; therefore with a view to preserve the harmony of ihe party, Resolved, That this convention decline to decide the conflicting claims ofsaid New \ r ork delegation,and re fer the whole matter to the Democracy of the State of New Y’ork, without prejudice to either party. Mr. Strange, from North Carolina, followed. He paid i t was seldom that the State of North Carolina was heard either here or in the Councils of the notion They had not before been heard iu this convention He had come herewith the determination to admit ; both sets—for he had heleived this to be the safest course But alter the declarations made—the refusal which they had given to the committee—it would not do.— Their vote, if admitted, would now be death to any Southern man who should receive it. He regretted that the question of sis very had been introduced at ail Mr. King reiterated what he had said before, in re gard to the grounds upon which their claims were to be decidedand some explanations took place between Mr* Bnyley, Mr. Dickinson and Mr. Yancey, ns to who had first introduced here the question of slaver)’. Mr. Strange proceeded, and was remarking upon the test made here by the barn-burner delegation—tlie Wilinot proviso—as evidence of the character of the Utica Convention, when Mr. Cainbreleng ro9e and said that the gentle- - man wnsentirely mistaken in supposing that the dele gation bad here made a test. On the contrary,the Utic a Convention had expressly protested against introdu- i cirg that question into this Convention. Mr. Btruuge proceeded to argue that the committee, •of which he was a member, had done the best that they possibly could do under the circumstances, and that i* was n great piiy that the convention had not adopted their report, without going into the discussion. His first idea on the question haul been to admit both del- j egations. it was the opinion of others, that both should j be turned out. After all that had occurred here, the the proper course w as now to receive one of them. Mr. Hannegan rose.simply he said for the purpose of moving the previous question. He however at ihe request of several members, yielded the floor for expla nations; Ist, by a member from Ohio in reference to- a remark by Mr. King, this morning, that the State of Ohio had passed a resolution against extending slavery into new territory, and 2d by Mr. Turney, of Tennesee as to his course in the committee, and his view s as to the powers of that committee. Mr. Turney arid he had not supposed the committee was appointed to determine the claims of those dele gates to a standing in the democratic family, but simply to decide upon their credentials. He had thought the test proposed improper—such as honorable men and an honorable constituency would not be sat foiled with. lie had, therefore, opposed the resolutions. Now anew issue had been raised, whe ther a supjior ter ol the doctrines ol the Wilinot provi so could lie a Democrat. If this was to be the test what was lo become of Pennsylvania, and of the De mocracy ot other stales It hud been said that this delegation desired to be rejected that they might raise tins issue elsewhere, if so he w’ould not gratify them. Mr. Cambreling here rose and said that he wa9 au thorised by the delegulion to disclaim tins. 1 Mr. Turney had u high opinion ot that gentleman's i integrity and veracity, and was hound to believe him. But there was one man upon that delegation, whose principles he had long doubted as they hud been doub -1 ted by tlie democracy oi the Union—a member whose • course no one looked upon w’iih more detestation than |he did. But he d< sired to put an end to the political smalt talk in New York. What course could they put sue to accomplish this His course was either to admit both or to reject both ; not to create frirther difficulty in that State by admit- ! ting one and rejecting the other. He then renewed,’ agreeable to a pledge given to Mr. Hannegan, the de- j man 1 tor the previous question. The chair staled that if the privious question were i sustained, the vote would first be on the amendment of . (he gentleman from Ohio, Mr. Bartley, to Mr. Yun- i rey's amendment to ihe resolution ol Mr. Taucey.— The chair was about to put the vote on sustaining the j motion for the previous question, when. Mr. Clarke, of Kentucky, moved to lay the whole j subject on the table. The chuir decided this motion not to be in order.— , Mr. Clarke ap|ealeJ from this decision, but the con veil- | lion sustained the chair. The question was then taken by States.on sustaining the motion tor the previous questnm.and it was deci ded iu the aiiirmative, 201 to 56, as follows: Ayes—Maine 8, Vermont 6, Rhode Island 4, Penn sylvania 26.

The Democrat to Convention recently assembled in Baltimore', met in the same Church occupied by the Whig Convention in HI! On the second day, there was great alarm and confusion, in the Convention, in consequence of the giving away of a psit of th** galle ry Home one proposed an adjournment, fearing per naps that Providence or the Democracy in the galleries’ were alsiut to bting tbur proceedings to a premature conclusion Whereupon “Mr Yancey of Alabama . sai l that the Whig Convention of 1814 had occupied this church for their deliberations, and had been per-1 in.tied by Providence to depart in safety to receive a severe whipping from the democracy ol (list year, at ( the ensuing election, lie did not belfave tliat Provi dence would be less tnmdiui ol the Democratic Coiiven j non in 1848.” Mi Yancey irt the eieiUemcitt ol tlie moment* vident ly spoke,naif by inspiration. We trust tlie parallel may bold good, and since they closed their deliberations ill | safety, Providence utuy deal impartially,and allow them to get just ns sound s drubbing at (lie next election, ss I they give tlir Abigain 1841 Judge Woodbury. The Waaiiuv’on correspondent of the Baltimore ! vis says: “It is said that Judge Woodbury has written m letter repudiating the sentiments attributed to him,on tlie subject of slavery, in the letter quoted by Mr. Ysn ey in the Alabama Htate Convention, reiterating tie doctrines which lie has hitherto been supiNised to en ter tain ” I Ofjigu Kepuoiicuixonfc. We noiic * that several of our cotenipornries are ac knowledging the receipt of tlie ‘ Republicstions of the Foreign Quarterly Reviews,\e , from .Mc**ra. L. Scott &. Cos. ofN -w-York. These gentleman sent us a Cir cular, requesting us to publisi their advertisement a few tinvs, nn i to give them an E litorial notice, far which, they would semi us regularly their public ‘it ions a9 they were isued from the press. We published their prospec tus to the amount of some ten or twelve dollars, an I _jave the notice requested, but we have thus far seen nothing of the promised periodicals. We tru-t this is nil over sight oil t ic part of Messrs. Scott & Cos. We think it best however, to allude to it. tor the pur pose of exposing a system which has become common with northern publishers of late. It seems to be the al most uniform practice with them, to send a few num bers of tie ir pop ms, or their Magazines, until they can get u favorable notice, and a few subscribers, when they ore at once discontinued. Not long since we were waited upon by a gentleman, who represented himself as the Agent of ** The Daguer reotype.” It was tlie morning after our weekly issue, j and ol course we could render him no immediate service. : Alter occupying our time tor some three quarters of an hour, and obtaining from us n list of persons in the City who would be likely to subscribe, he agreed to furnish ; us with the bark numbers, of both the Ist and 2nd • volumes, which we understood him to say, were in his trunk at the hotel. Believing that his enterprise was worthy of patronage we urged our friends personally to subscribe and they did so. | The desired list lor Macon was made up and the Reverend Agent, oblivious of his promise, left. Thus far we have seen nothing either of the original or the Daguerreotype, except as we have obtained a glimpse of the latter, in the hands of the regular subscribers. We trust too, that this has been a mere emission,but it is rather singular, that so many accidents should hap pen, and all in favor of the publishers. These remarksare not intended particularly to reflec upon the merits of either of the enterprises in question! Both the “ Foreign Republics lions” and the “ Daguer reotye” are valuable in their places. All we ask, is, that their publishers should fulfil all their promises made in their efforts to extend their circulation. For ourselves, having been humbugged once or twice, we are resolved to speak out. If we mistake not, the Southern press and southern people owe something to themselves, in these matters. Northern publishers aie struggling to monopolize the reading of the whole country, and they are unlortunute ; ly aided in their eftoits by persons and presses at the < South, who forgetful of (heir own interests, are giving j “ aid and comfort” to the very men v\ho arc striving to destroy them in a business point of view. Georgians in Congress. I The people of Georgia ol both pari es have much rea son to be proud of the talents and reputation of their delegation. They tire atl men of strong, practical sense, and some of them arc evidently destined to attain to most enviable distinction. Mr. Cofiafor instance, seems to be regarded as one of tlie leaders of his party, and all who know Mr. Iverson, must be aware, that he is one of the most agreeable speakers and adroit de baters in Congress. Mr. Lumpkin, like Mt. Jones of ! our District, is a practical, workingman. Gen. Haral ’ son has won a name as a pugilist. Mr. King has buil 1 up for himselt, the reputation of being one of the most practical, businessmen in Congress, and as having done more for the Navy, than any oilier man since the or ganization of our government. The burning eloquence ol .Vlr. Toombs, is the theme ol universal praise* while Mr. Stephens has recently added a full cubit to ins stature, by throwing himself into thtv arena, as the Champion ot Southern Rights. We cannot deny our9elve9 the pleasure of copying the following giowihg description ol the scene, from tlie Washington correspondence of the Baltimore Fntriot It is coniumed in the letter of Fotouiac, dated May 13th, as follows : “ The great incident in Congress, to-day, has been a speech, unprepared aid uupnmeditated, by Mr. Ste phens, of Georgia, in defence ol the true and just rights of the fcouth—in behalf of our whole Union, and it 9 preservation—and in reply to the many vehement and uncalled lor att eks, which have been made, again and again, by Messrs. Tuck and Ghidings, and,to-day, by Mr. Dickey, upon the peculiar institutions of the South. “ The House was in committee of the whole, (Mr. teims, oi &i,uth Caioliua in ilie chair,) on the private calendar. The first bill taken up was the one provid ing lor the payment of the Hodges claim for a negro, ! carried off from Maryland by the British in 1814. Mr. Ciiapman, of Maryland, ably nnd briefly advoca ted the claim. Mr. Tuck opposed it, in a feeble manner and with his feeble voice. Mr. Rhett replied warmly to some of Mr. Tuck’9 po sitions. Mr. D ckey embraced the occasion to run a furious tilt against the slavery of the South. He spoke with great warmth and boldness of manner, and with much eloquence. He charged that the slave holders were attempting to make the Government pay lor their j slaves, and when a Southern member chose t j discuss the slavery quest on, he was permitted to do so, while to a member who was a freeman of the North, the right was denied. Mr Dickey’s course of argument and excited man ner provoked Georgia’s eloquent,patriotic, clear-head ed Representative, Alexander H. Stephens, to take the floor and deliver his sentiments upon the subject. And such a speech as he delivered, toih in regard to mailer aud manner—so eloquent,so clear, so patriotic, sosinceie and truthful, and so just —has not been list ened to tor many a day in either House of Congress. It was electrifying—soul-stirring, and conmiuiided and rive tied the attention of the whole House aud ol all in the House who were fortunate enough to be within the sound of his sharp, though ugreeuble, voice ! lie tore Mr. Dickey s argument all to tinnier*), and exposed tlie object winch that gentlemen and Messrs. Guiding* and Tuck had in view, in their constunt and healed attacks upon the South. He wanted them and ail who were acting with them, to bewure how they pushed their unprovoked assaults upon the institutions ot tlie South too far. He showed what the rights of the Houth i ctre, guaranteed to the South by the trainers of tlie Constitution, tlie fathers of the Union—the lath ers of those who ou That lioor were now umemitting hi their assaults upon those guaranteed rights—and he prayed to God, that the members to whom lie referred could be animated and governed by the spirit which an nulled the bosoms of their lathers ! There was a fervency and earnestness in his man ner, and a sincerity and truthfulness in Ins counte nance, which together With Ins noble sentiments—calm high nunded, and patriotic, not vindictive, menacing or grovelling—winch attracted every eye aud kept wide open every ear! It was no partisan speech—no sec tional harungur—no appeal to prejudice—no studied attempt at Display —but un extemporaneous outbuilt of patriotic devotion to the whole Union, and of wuriiing against the course of those who would rend it sounder! Those who heard that speech will never forget it, al though, 1 tegiet to say, it was not .reported. Tins be ing one of the private bill days, the rrpoiters look no notes of the speeches which were delivered. Alter the discussion had terminated, tlie ommittc e rose and reported the bill, sud (lie House passed it; also another bill ol s similar chuiac er. IVnii*) Ivhiiiii Ilible Society.

The rank and Hie u| the [*.„ ocratic party we believe to be pure and honest,howev er they may he mist iken. fits lor this reasuu’iiiat n desire to present lor their consideration a lew pout simple facts. 1 ‘ ’ 1. It is a fact that a leading Democratic paper m Georgia, went into paroxisms of grief and shrouded itself in mourning on account of the death o Sii.u W right, tlie leader ol the Wilmot party in the North* ern States and particularly in New-York. 2. It is a fact that rot one of the other Democrat! papers in Georgia, so far as we know or have heard haa ever publicly condemned the conduct of the Atk ens Banner in the above mentioned case. 3 It is a fact, that at a pubic meeting held in Asa ens composed mainly of the friends of the Hon. ffw ell Cobb, the present leader of the Democracy of Geot gia, that Mr. Calhoun, the great champion of Boutin rights, was formally read out of the Democratic faiu 4. It is a fact that Messrs. Cobb, Lumpkin aai Seaborn Jones, votid toi the Oregon T- rntoriai Hi not withstanding it contained,in detail as wellasusj stance, the inlamous Wilmot proviso, and yet th.it* j one Democratic press in Georgia (the Macon ‘lt* graph) hal the frankness and manliness to conueia their conduct. 5. It is a fact that Messrs Cobb, Lumpkin, Hare,’ son and Iverson during all the exciting discu&ionsot , the subject of si rvery had in Congress the present sion have never, oil a single occasion, said one w, , a favour of southern right.-, having thrown the whole a that labour upon the Whig members of the Geoiga Delegation. 6. It is also a fact that the sympathize!* with tin Wilmot men, had a clear majority in the iaa Baltimore Convention and th t the anti-slavery, fat territory-barn burning faction in New-York were ad mitted into full fellowship by a solemn vote ol th: con* i vention. 7. It L a fact too that the nominee of that Conven tion Gen. Cass in his celebrated pamphlet oa the right of search, emphatically thanks God that he has never own ed a 9lave ; and that the very convention of his own State ( Michigan) which first nominated him, past'd reso,a* tions unanimously m favour of the Wilmot Proviso These are fact 9 which cannot he denied, and w? leave it to every candid man to say whether, taken la connection with the admission of the Georgian above quoted, they do not indicate a determination on thr pan of the Democratic leaders in Georgia to sell themseio* , and tlieir party ,soul and body, to the anti-slavery in terests. They have prated long and earnestly about southern rights and are after all the first to bewj . them. The very acknowledgement on the part of ow el their leading presses that in any possible cont.njfacj they can Ik? induced to support a Wilmot Provw nffl I (or one whose opinions are doubtful) is ominous of :aa future fate. The leaders already know their own wil and tlieir own purposes. The fitting opportunity 4 that is wanting, provided they find it possible to gun a rank and file. That point being settled, we wilt i?* 1 have the old cry of 1840 revived and the people wili* urged once more to support “a northern man *4 southern principles.” I T uprofessional C (induct* A few conductors of the press are acting very tii** putably in regard to the Macon papers and their Tek graphic despatches. One Editor, whoae name ts n<” almost on the tip of our pen, copies our newt and ere* its a distant pa|>er ; another coolly uses it as his owa, without giving any credit whatever ; wlule a third .a* perhaps a fete others ) evidently news obtained by us and endeavored to an d in order to deceive his readers.
