A STRAIN OF MUSIC.
Alone I wander'd ’re ttli the trees,
To listen to the sighing breeze.
‘T was eve; the sun's soft sinking beams
Haijjit the Earth with golden gleams;
Had given the flowerets perfumed dew,
The diamond’s flash, the ruby’s hue;
Had ting’d the clouds with opal light—
And nature smilod in calm delight.
I started; on the scented air
There broke a sound so soft and clear,
So wild—deep—it left a strain
Os yearning, fascinating pain.
It passed like fairy dreams of youth,
Which fade before stem, bitter Truth;
So transiently the tones were given,
’Twas like a scattered strain from heaven:
It seemed such sounds as slurs might sing.
Or the rustling of an angel's wing.
Why came it there at that sweet hour]
To enchant the winds—to charm the flower?
To cause the leaflets (murmuring low,)
To bid their music cease? Ah! no.
1 climbed upon a rock all hung
With roses, that m its fissures clung.
Beneath the jutting rock so drear,
A streamlet poured its waters clear;
1 beat me o’er the tiny bay,
And on its waves u white swan lay;
His snowy heart was stained; a dart
Had pierced the proud bird's bleeding heart;
He lifts his wings, he opes his eyes.
Sings one mote gentle strain, and dies.

Speerb of James Clark before the Mass Meet
ing of Stewart County, of the 19th of June.
Mr. Chairman :—This meeting lias been called for the
investigation of subjects of vital importance to the South.
A meeting oi more importance in its bearings never has as
sembled in our county. Huuce, the necessity of grave and
mature councils and a free interchange ol opinions upon
those que.-tions which we shall this day be called upon to
decide. In these deliberations, a full participation of all
parties are invited The occasion demands it. In this
solemn hour this bickerings of party animosities should
cease. They are unfriendly to truth. We should meet here
not only as Georgians, but as American citizens, and as in
habitants ot the greatest and proudest Republic in ilie world ,
not only as friends to the constitutional rights of the States;
but as friends also ot the Union of the Stales. Whilst we
adopt measures hr the vindication of our rights as a South
ern State, under the Federal constitution ; anxious regard
should be had lo the preservation ot this great confederation
of States, “as the palladium of our political safety and pros
perity Discarding alt partial or selfish views, w* should
consult together in the spirit of ait enlarged and enobiiug
patriotism.
Under tlie influence ot such sentiments, our country, our
whole country, and nothing but our country, will bo at once
our watchwoid and our aim ; and we shall be prepared to
act with all true men, whether ut the North or South, or
East or Wot, whoc-o object is the public good, aud whose
solemn purpo-e it is to live and labor as well for the pres
ervati nos the Union as for the preservation ot the consti
tutional rights ot the States.
For, fallow citizens, let it ever bo remembered, let it never
he forgotten, that in the idea of the preservation of the con
stitutional right.- of the Slates, and in the idea of the preser
vation of the constitutional union ol the States, there is no
incongruity, no antagonism, but perfect harmony. As
long as the Union, as framed by our fathers, under the great
charter of our national and States and individual rights, ex
ists and continues to perform it* constitutional functions;
our rights as States v iil be preserved. The truth is, we are
part? and parcels of one great system, of one unbroken con-
Mi-tent political whole. Without the States are preserved in
the lull possession and enjoyment ol all their constitutional
powers and privilege?, the Union cannot be maintained.—
So without the Federal Union, within the limitations and
restrictions of the constitutio. i, is supported and permitted
freely to put iorth over all portions of this extended land*
her conservative and protecting power, the States have no
assurance of permanent safety. It is from the same instru
ment that they derive rights and powers. Whilst on the
one hand, power is communicated by this paper to the
Federal G overnmeut, by this samo paper powers and rights
are reserved to the Stales. By supporting this National
Government in its constitutional exercise of power, that
line by which rights and powers are “reserved to the States
respectively and to the people,” is kept plain and distinct.
Thus it is alone, by the preservation of the Union aud the
rights and immunities of the States and people which com
pose it, that tin* Beauty, unity and harmony ol this compli
cated system oi government, under which we have enjoyed
so many blessings, can and will he preserved.
These, lei low citizens, are my principle?, and I ?hall in
the approaching couteri ufliliate and act with that party
which for the time being, is the most willing aud the best
able to carry them out. lam no party man ; I never have
been, except on impo taut occasions lo effect important ob
jects. The constitutional rights of the States and especially
of my native State, have always, to me, been dear ; but the
secur.ty and preset vation of this Union,has been my earliest,
and 1 trust, it will he my Jaie-t desire ; and I can have affini
ty with no party or men that will rashly take measures for
the security of the one that may unnecessarily endanger or
destroy the other.
What is the object f the present meeting ? It is tode
libeiate upon the lesolutions commonly called the “Amal
gamation Resolutions of Columbus,” and to organize anew
party iu Georgia, of which these re-olutions shall be the
Platform. To the leading object of this movement / am
utterly oppns and. The complexion ol this meeting and ot
many ol Hie men and circumstances that gave it origin, are
such as may well induce every reflecting conservative mm
anxiously to inquire/* Watchman what oi the night ?*’ Does
every thing around us betoken safety to the dearest interests
ol the American people ? Are there no baleful influences
abroad? Union men ot 1850, you who aided in the elec
tion ot that great Georgia Convention from whom eininated
ihe Georgia Platform,beware! When you behold a great
meeting iieaded by a molly group of Fire-eaters, Disunion*
iris and Know Nothing?, and every order ot utiaism and of
discord ; when you behold the bitterest political enemies
suddenly converted into fast and loving friends, all joining
in fraternal concert in the formation of anew party ; send
ing their letters missive to every portion of the State, and
moving heaven and earth to disquiet and unsettle the public
mind, and organizing a great sectional and geographical
pany. 1 say again, beware; I sound the alarm, it is for
the people to hear and to heed.
! object to this movement because it wholy premature.
Whatever may be the necessity of such a movement in a
future alid darker period ol our history, note, is certainly
not the time, ft is admitted on all hands that this is an at
tempt to form a great Southern party. It was the same
movement aud headed by many oi the same men which in
183:) met with such signal rebuke. It is an attempt, 1 re
peat, to form a gmat sectional geographical party. Phis
appear- most distinctly in the preamble to the resolutions,
and al o in one of the resolutions published to the world.
W 11 might the “father of his country’’ al the conclusion
of his eventful and illustrious public lite iu his Farewell
Addre&s to the American people warn them against “par
ties characterized by geographical discriminations’* as dan
gerous to the Union. The dangerous tendency of these I
sectional factious, “he who runs may read.”
Oppos thni and jealousy of section against section, in
which strife and fiat red arc engendered and strengthened.and
inflamed, whose criminations and recriminations are flout
ed upon every !>;vez-.*,are but the jiving,moving firebrands that
produce the dissolution and ruin cfa people. Their facili
ties of intercommunication are but the strife of enemies face
to face, whenever the expression of reciprocal scorn and
abuse are succeeded by blows.
W henever that day arrives when party hatred shall de
stroy all sympathy and commerce between the North and
South ; when the South shall have no friends at the North
and the North no triends at the South, and in which noth
ing better than suspicion and distrust shall dictate their
language and their conduct to each then we may
well say,“farewell! a long farewell to all our greatness!”
the glory will have departed from I-real, the Union and
prosperity of these States will go down in darkest night.—
Human nature is the same in every age, whether we tiow
it as i! lust i a ted iu a quarrel face to face between man and
man, or in a great organized quarrel of the Slates North
and South of Mason and Dixon’s line. The tendency is
either case i? to the violent collision of oposing forces and
to the shedding of human blood. Fellow citizens, l agian
repeat, that this Columbus movement which has been sent
into the world with such a mighty sound of trumpets is
premature. It is a reckless jumping ahead of the Georgia
Platform and of the spirit ot the preamble and address
which accompanied and illustrated that paper. Whenever
the time arrive?, ns anticipated by theJGeorgia Platform,
when Congress shall refuse to admit a Territory into the
Union on account of slavery, or shall, by its unconstitution
al legislation, usher into actual existence any of those
wants mentioned in the fourth article of Ihe Georgia Plat
form as dread possibilities existing wholy iu the future; then,
and nut till then, shall i be prepared “to resist evenias a
inst resort) to the disruption of every tie that binds us to th>
Union.” The lime may come. The aggressive action of
the Federal Govemraqpt made the subj et of warning in
this article of the Georgia Resolution, may come. Con
gress may become reckless and regardless of its constitu
tional powers and may infringe on the rights and safety of
the South. Heaven only knows. But should such a time,
big as it would be, with awful and tremendous import,ever
come, as a Union man of 18 V.) and standing upon the Geor
gia Platform. I for one would he prepared for action. I
say further, in such an event, the people of Georgia will
stand together as oue man. But until that time actually
arrives, 1 forbear, and hope for better things. “Sufficient
unto the day is the evil thereof* “The Empire State of
the South” in her sovereign capacity, has taken u linn, de
termined and noble stand. Expressing her attachment to
the Union and herestimate of her constitutional rights as one
of its members. She utters from the halls of her capital the
solemn alternative that would press upon her, should those
rights be invaded. Here was the utterance, of a voice which
carried moral power and influence to every portion of the
land. And here lot the who*© people of Georgia unitedly
stand ; reproving every partial and impartial display of hot
haste raid offensive suspicion ; and Seeing to it, that we do
nothing calculated to hasten any of those events which we
hone may never come.
1 again repeat, that this movement for the formation of
a Southern party, is premature —fraught with mischiefand
danger and “that continually ” Where is the inducement/
What valuable purpose can bo now attained/ Has not
Georgia already, and in the most solemn and imposing
manner, taken position, and uttered her determination. Can
we, iu this way add to the lore*’ of these great resolves ?
Can we augment their influence, by perpetually talking
about what ice intend to do? Follow citizens, the resolu
tions of the Georgia Platform are Res Judicata of a
wholepeople. No mere party organization c.madd aught
to their moral power; and nothing under heaven, I trust,
will,or can shake their validity, I again ask, then, what
useful object to the country can be accomplished by this
movement? Now is the most unseasonable and unfit time
for such agitation before the people. Me have n reasons
now to complain or to sound forth the harsh and offensive
notes of apprehension and suspicion. At this hour we have
reasons to congratulate ourselves thiwiJ is as well with us
as it is. For the last seven years the South has been resit*
laily gaining ground and increasing her influence in the
confederacy. For the last seven year?, by.dhe fidelity and
zeal of our own servants, and the co Operation of our nor
thern friends, and by the intrinsic justice ot our cause, the
South has made regular advances in the vind cation and
establishment of Southern Rights.
When the“Wilmot Proviso;*’ that degrading badge of
Colonial inferiority, was attempted to be Dreed upon us,
the South ralied her forces; many of the choice spirits of
North came up to the rescue, and the unhnlDwed attempt
was cloven down. When the territorial bills of Utah and
New Mexico were introduced, tho South asked that they
should be admitted into the Union free from all slavery re
strictions; it was granted,and the right of Congress to leg
islate, or dictate legislation, on the subject of slavery was
abandoned. When a strong tugitiveelave law was reques
ted to reclaim our fugitives from service, and make tho pro
vision of the Constitution available in our favor, we were
told to frame a law to suit ourselves. The law was pre
pared by Southern members of Congress, with most strin
gent provisions, and triumphtly passed, by the aid of a re
-1 spectacle Northern vote. When the repeal of the .Missou
ri Compromise, with its odious restrictions, which had de
graded and insulted us, for more than thirty years, was de
manded, an act of Congress was passed filly recognizing
the sovereignty of the Territories oyer slavery, and abol
ished ihe disparaging restriction, of which we had such
just right to complain. Aud last, not least, to complete the
riftgnilieent climax of Southern progress,the great territo
ries of Kansas and Nebraska were organized under the
broad shield of that local sovereignty on tho slavery ques
tion which is the inalienable right of the South. In all
thce-e demonstrations of advancement in the establishment
of Southern Rights, many eminent and patriotic Northern
men stood by us, “side by side and shoulder to the wheel,”
nnfi wielded a most effective balance of,power in our iav
vor; at a time too, when nothing elsoe mld have secured
our triumph. These very men, although many of them
may be temporarily beaten down by Northern fanaticism,
arc still alive and active, and in the full possession of their
fact*!ties, and a* much our friends now as they ever were
before, and prepared to make every effort to roll back the
torrent which has swept them down, aud to regain that po
sition iu the councils ot the nation, which will enable them
effectually to serve ua in those great questions ot a coming
day, upon the decision of which in our favor, we have soi
ciualy proclaimed that our continuance in the Union will
| depend. Is now the time to withdraw from them our en
couragement and favor? Would it comport with the noble j
chivalry of the South’ The time* was when tho voice of
that ancient Commonwealth, that contains the bones of
Washington and Patrick Henry, was heard with profound
veneration in every portion of the land. Where is the pat
riot that does not respect; ecen now, what, on important
occasions, the “Old’Dominion” may now do. ‘Tie-lute
triumphant e'ections iu Virginia show, that whilst she is
the last that will desert a fallen friend, she is also tin* last
one that will ever cringe or truckle to the base bought vic
tories of an arrogant foe.
I again repeat, is now the time, by invidious local and
sectional combinations, to lose the support ot our North
ern friends? At this particular juncture, having reference to
the shadow s that are cast before us, would it cither bo po
litic or wise? Tho question of the admission of Kansas in
to the Union, with a constitution sanctioning slavery, must,
very shortly, be met in Congress. In the determination of
this question there is wrapped up our weal or woe, far
as either depend on our continuance in the Federal Union,
li this territory is not admitted free from all manner
of restriction in relation to slavery, we stand pledged before
the world, that let others do as they may, Georgia must
not, will not, cannot remain in the Union.
, Who doe® not desire the preservation of this Union ?
Where is the man who d‘*es not desire the preservation
and perpetuation of this mighty and growing Republic,the
last hope of humanity throughout the world? And yet by
the destruction of the nationality of our party, at this mo
mentous period, i>y proclaiming a whol-ale distrust of Nor®
them fidelity; by cutting off all affiliation with Northern
parties and Northern men, we shall inevitably lose that
Northern support which, 111 the time of final trial, when the
Kansas question fe brought before Congress, will, under the
irrevocable Resolve already made by Georgia, as certainly
force us out of this Union as the seasons will continue to
visit us, or as the year will continue to roll around.
Bare with me, fellow citizens, and permit me here for a
moment to enlarge. Admission ot Kansas is the para
mount question of the day. It is paramount, not only on
account ol the great principle involved, but because* it in
volves a contingency that may re lilt in tin* dissolution of
this Union. How would we stand on this question, under
the auspices of a party exclusively sectional and Southern?
Let plain, stubborn facts be met for one moment face to \
face. Suppose the piesent project embodied in the Colum
bus movement s o succeed here, and to succeed iu all the
Southern States, and a great Southern party were formed,
and that the Kansas question, w hich involves so much,
were to become exclusively a question between tie* North
and the South; how and when* would we stand? V* hat
would be the result? With no Northern votes iu our favor,
we should be iuevitahjy defeated, “horse, foot and drag
oons.' 5 Being a minority i:i Congres®, we are powerless
\ to cairy any measu <• except by the a i of Northern votes,
i What folly, then, what desperation, so to frame our party
that this indispensable Northern support will be lost iu the
great and tremendous hour, upon which is suspended the
destinies of the States.of America a a united people.
But you ask what shall we do? Many oi our patriotic
citizens have lost their old party affinities and attachments,
and are now anxiously enquiring what is best tor them to
do. New issues have been formed, new events in the his
tory of the country require, in some sense, anew modifica
tion of parties. You desire a stand in the approaching
contest, where, as Georgians aud American citizens, you
can, in favor of yourcount-y, exert the most effective in
fluence It will not do to j jin the Know Nothings, lor of
them you know and can know but little. “Shadows,clouds
and darknes rest upon them.,’ By joining them you may
blindly launch your bark upon a dark and perilous sea ot
mischief, without a shore. It will not do to reconstiuct
the old national Whig party; for that party at the North
has become the stronghold ol Abolitionism aud every oth
er‘ism,* that can imperil the best good of the country: and
I have already said enough to show that it will neccr do
to enlist under the Columbus banner; for that banner will
be tattered and tom, and may become the miserable insig
nia of the defeat of the South and the ruin of our country.
The question, then, again occurs, whither shall we go that
-we may, most effectually, serve our country in her greatest
time of need? In answer, let me suggest to you, a word ol
council, which has the host evidence that it is honest, be
cause it is the council hr which your humble speaker will
lie guided. If there can be found already in existence in
the St it 1 any irell organized v irty, sufficiently national
to preserve and encourage our Northern lricmls,and \vlneh,
at the same time, recognizy* the great principles oi South
ern and Slates [lights; if there lie any party, whose action
will preserve intact the rights and immunities of the State*,
! ac.i at the same time maintain aud secure the. federal Un
ion; ii there beany party amongst you, [which is able to
command Congressional majorities in your tavor, on nsucs
involving your dearest interest as a people, and which will
insure, lor the great otliees of the government, the election
0! men that will “never leave nor torsake us,’’ in the name
of every thing that is sacred, let us, at once, give our ad
hesion to that'parry. . , ,
But, you ask, can such a party he found! I answer that
it can; it exists here, in this jr;<cr, [holding up the Demo
cta'ic Platform;! it exists m the great Democratic party, as
remodeled, and purified aud peilbeted, by the late Demo
cratic Convention. It is national; it therefore embraces
and encourages our friends at the North, who have stood
by us iu our greatest times of treed. It is in favor of South
ern Rights, for it stands on the platform ot your own sov
ereign people in Convention assembled. It i a a vve I or
ganized party, having active affinities with every .State, of
tins confederacy; and capable of bringing to hear upon any
measure, a combined iuHuence which nothing cart resist.-
As many of the old party issues have passed away, this
party is sufficiently litreral in its principles, to accommodate
every man in every portion of mo rsta'e, he he whom he
may, that is not a hot-headed disuniooisl per se.
If Union of the South ever was important, it i especial
ly important now. This union can be effected uow on tho
Democratic platform, as lately published, without compro
miiiiug any principle which we may ItoldMear. Here, we
shall find all the valuable principles of the Columbus Plat
form, aud clear ol their offensive and dangerous geograph
ical features; here, we shall find a party already well ior
nred to our hands, and a party, with that moral power, and
those extensive and imposing national affinities, which
[TERMS, $2 00 IN ADVANCE;
time and habitual concert of action, and a jong line of il
lustrious service to the country, alone can give. With our
adhesion, with a general Union of the South, under the
banners of this great party, the rights of the country and
of the whole country in the Union and’with the Union,can
and will be preserved and perpetuated.
To the Platform of the Democratic party, as lately re
vised and punished, I subscribe my name and give in my
adhesion; and in the name of this party, fellow citizens, I
invite you to do the same.
In conclusion, permit me to offer a3 a substitute to the
resolutions already read, the following, as the sense of this
meeting:
RESOLUTIONS.
Dt. Resolved, That the Democratic Platform, as revi
sed by the late Democratic Covention, contains all that
can be desired by the South for the vindication and securi
ty of Southern Rights.
‘2d. That this is a platform on which every citizen of
Georgia and every Southern man may usefully and honor
ably unite.
3j. Resolved, That the nationality of this party, gives
it strong claims to the support of those who, with the Fa
ther of his country, beiieve that the Union of the-fe Saks, i 3
the Palladium of our political welfare and prosperity.
Ith. Resolved, lastly, That the Columbus Southern
Union Resolutions, this day read, contain a sectional and
geographical provision, which makes this platform such as
no conservative or union man can sanction.
A Sketch for a National Platform.
The official proceedings of the Democratic State Con
vention of Georgia, elsewhere published, are o unusual
importance and significance. To the position assumed by
that Convention of Southern men, Ni rthern Constitution
al Democrats cannot but accord a general approval. For
our part, we have carefully read through the resolutions,
and, with the exception of the oue which “damns with a
laint praise,’’ indeed, the Pierce Administration, yet still
makes use of language toward it which will be construed
into an indorsement, we could vote for every one of them
with a hearty good will.
These resolutions in brief lay down a platform upon
Slavery questions, which we hope to see indorsed at tho
next National Democratic Presidential Convention, to be
held at Cincinnati. A better one fi r these times eculd
not be put together. L**t us synopsize it.
1. The Union, secondary only to the State rights it
secures.
2. 1 Ite non-aggression by Congress upon the institution
of Slavery anywhere, in Territories, Stales, or the District
of Columbia.
3. The maintenance of the Fugitive Slave Law as it is.
4. The principle enunciated in the Nebraska Kansas
Hill, of the right of aii Territories to frame their own
domestic institutions in their own way, the dicta
tion of Congress.
TANARUS. The right of new States to admission into the Fed
eral Union at the proper time and in the proper manner,
without reference to whether their Constitutions are or
are not slave holding.
6. Opposition to the proscriptive principles and the se
cret organiz uion of the Know Nothing Order.
7. The annexation of Cuba, as a matter of national well
being.
The time is at hand when the National Democratic
party of the whole Union must have a common platform
upon which to st and, and these propositions seem to us
s > sensible, so self-evident, and so universal and anti-sec*
tional in their scope—so entirely in accordance with those
which the Old Guard in this State, under ail disadvantages,
and in the face of all proscription®, have maintained—that
we invoke their approval by the National Convention of
our party in 1651), as furnishing the true basis for unity
among all who would be of us and with ua in the effort to
I v these exciting and dangerous questions and to keep
them at rest while our nation pursues her march to great
ness and prosperity under the guidance of Democratic
Republican principles, and under the administration of
sound, pa’riotio aud true meu—such as we trust that Con
vention will give us.— A’. Y. National Democrat.
More Bich Developments.
The last Lauderdale Republican contains a communi
cation from Mr. C. YV. lleudeison, one of the most highly
respectable yiozens of that county, giving a full exposition
of the introduction of the Know Nothing Order into Fast
| Mississippi its signs, passwords, grips, objects; &c. t &c.—
Mr. Henderson was President of the “Marion Council,”
and speaks from his own personal knowledge. The Order
was first introduced into Lauderdale by Gen. \V. S. Patton,
formerly of that county, but now of Jackson. Ihe Grand
President or Priest of Fast Mississippi, is Win. S. Rag
land, “an uneomproiftising, influential Whig, who has
avowed t-* some of his confidential friends, that the object
of the Order was to defeat ihe Democratic party” Tho
name of the Graud Priest of the Order of “Stars and
Stripes” of Mississippi, John, ot Jackson, figures conspi
cuously. From this document, it appears that rdl tho
Democrats who have been inveigled into the Older in
Lauderdale county have abandoned it. We have no doubt
but many high toned, honest Whigs will follow their ex
ample, and thus leave it without a corporal’s guard. Wo
never saw a Humbug collapse faster than this Know
Nothing trick.
Let the light be spread before the people. The secret
organization will see it only to despise it. The corrupt
demagogues who originated the scheme to advance their
own selfish ends, when the ma?k is torn from them will
writhe and die like the aniinalcnuc in a drop of putrid wa
ter, subjected to the influence of a solar miscroseope.

Equestrian Statue of Jackscn and Washington.
Washington, June 10, 1855.
Clark Mills, the American artist, has changed very
mujh in his persanl appearance, since he fi at came litre
from Uli 1 Dston to make the equestrian statue of Jackson,
llis labors<.f mind[and body in priiducing this masterpiece,
has turned his locks gray and blanched his che£k. But
he is still lu.l of eirbusiasrn and hrpe. In classing the
street yesterday, he espied u, and as usual, haultd up his
quiet l:tt!e “earnall”: and etcpptd fora that. He has de
c tied upon hi- concepti-m, for the grand equestrian statue
*f Washington, for which C has l.befally appro
priated ; hut its t x vuti*in will be delayed un:il the inati.
iur.*t on at New O.leans, on the B.i of January, 1856,
of the bt.T.tm of J icksff> —a copy of the one litre. After
studying all the published nitmoirs of the Father of his
C .untry, aud gathering every ti adit ion and recollection of
‘.im, our artist has chosen to represent Washington in
;1 i- most tning and exciting scene ofthe Revolution,
when the American troops at Friiketon were wavering
mi l. v the terrible lire of the well, disciplined British, when
lie hul exhausted ev. ry effort to rally his army, and, as
if inspired wi.h the id. a that he was under tile t pecial pro
tection of the God of Battles, < r perhaps iu a feeling of
d<spa;r in which he would rather fall than witness a de
feat, he charged forward so fur in advance of the Ameri
can troops as t<> be between the fire of the two armies! —
The horse is wild with fright at his position, nostrils dis
tended, mane flying, and flung back almost upon his
haunches, while the Chief is cool, self-possessed, dignified
and now confident, in this statue Washington will be
clad in the Continental costume, m* defied from the identi
cal coat Ite wore in the service, and uow preserved in the
National Institute. There will be no Roman togas nor
long skirts about the original American statues of the first
American patriots. Long live Clark Mills to fulfil tho
expectations of the country, and to enjoy his frame. lie
was introduced to the world’s notice, you remember, by
his admirable bust of Carolina’s Calhoun.
Louisiana on the Georgia Platform. —The platform
of principles laid down by the Democratic State Conven
tion, at Mi.le fgeville, is not only the true ground for eve
ry man in Georgia to stand upon, in the present crisis of
National politics, but is the ground on which every otl er
Southern State should, and wc believe will, eventually,
rally in defence of the rights of the South. Louisiana,
wo arc gratified to see; has taken her stand by the side
of Georgia. At the recent Democratic Convention in
that State, held at Baton Rouge, tho Georgia Platform
was formally adopted r.s an integral portion of the Dem
ocratic creed. In regard to this position, theN. O. BuL
letin, a Whig paper says :
“This is a rational, national, conservative profession of
faith, which every good citizen can subscribe to, aud tho
party that does not adept it in its details, as well as in the
aggregate, cannot expect to be sustained by Southern
vo.es-” _ ’
The Great Southern Mail. —The Savannah Republi
can sons: “We learn with pleasuie that the contract for
transporting the great Northern mail through Georgia has
been awarded to tho Waynesboro’, Southwestern aud
Muscogee Railroads. That is on the arrival of “the m3il
at Augusta, it will be sent over the Waynesboro’ and
Central Roads to Macon, and thence to Culumbus by the
Southwestern and Muscogee Roads, and l to Montgom
ery. The route heretofore has bee n from Augusta to At
lanta, aud thence to West Point, Montgomery, &c. The
great mail from ihe Southwest will enter the State at Co
lumbus aud leave it at Augusta.
An Item for Croakers. —So promising is the wheat
crop in Ohio, and so largely have the farmers sown this
year, that the Cleveland Plaindealer anticipates, in sixty
days, buying flour at six dollars a barrel.
