Traniel, for the House of Representatives—also the accorn
paning Resolutions; which icport was unanimously adopted
by the House:
The citizens of Harris county, without regard to past dis- I
ferences ol opinion, adopt the I ni lowing resolutions :
Ist. Resolved, That we are opposed to ail secret oath- 1
bound political associations iu u Republican Government* ‘
iii times of peace.
2d. Re-Dived, That t!ie pretension with which the self 1
styled American party attempts to palm ofi'ite uanecrous ,
doctrines', is unworthy of any party cia ming thu sup; ort of i
an intelligent eonstitueticv : Adopting as it clous, at the j
same time, the Philadelphia and Georgia Platforms, the :
one declaring the union ni the States the paramount polili- j
cal good, the other asserting, in unequivocal terms, the Un- |
ion to he secondary in importance to the rights it was in- j
tended to protect, an 1 denying in their resolutions a pro- j
scription of men on account oi their religious faith, while
th< y swear in their -r t councils by ho:.id oaths, not to i
vote for men S o ollice, and to remove them from office I
when in their power, on account of their religious faith, j
thereby rn iking a test, which the constitution declares nevei !
Him!] be made.
131. Revolted. That Congress has no right to abolish or I
restrict, slavery in the States or Territories, nor to interfere j
with die slave trade between the States, nor to reject a {
State applying for admission because of slavery.
4th. Resolved, in the opinion of this Convention, no ‘
Government like ours, founded on just principles, can divest
a man of his title to property without remuneration, lienee j
we conclude, Congrc-s has no more power J<> deprive a j
citizen of the Di*tnet of Columbia ot his slave than of hH i
house or land, and the same principle applies in the .States, !
even should a majority desire the abolition of slavery, other- j
wi.-e the minority have no security for their properly.
biffT Resolved, Georgia Platform ol 1850 adopted.
full. Resolved, “That the* several States composing the J
United States of America, are not united on the principle
of unlimited submission to the general Government; but
that by a compact under the style and titUi of a constitution
of the. United States anil of nm'uuimentsmne.reto, they con
stituted a general Goverment for special purpose-—dele
gated to that Government certain definite powers, reserving
each State to itself, the residuary mass of right to their own
seif government* that whensoever the general Government
assumes nmlcddffated powers, its acts are unatiihord alive,
void, and of no force ; that to this compact each Slate ae- {
needed as a Stale, and is an integral party, its co States form- j
ing as to itself the other party ; that the t ioverimient created j
by this compact was not made tile t-xednsiveor fin;:l judge o
the extent ot the powers delegated to it—since that would
have made its discretion and not the constitution, the mea
sure of its powers : but that, as in all other casa - ot c unpaid
among parlies having no common judge, each party lias
an equal l ight to judge tor itself as well ol infractions as of
the mode arid measure ol redress.”
7ih. Resolved, In the opinion of this meeting, iho native
Freesoilers, Know Nothings and Abolition 1.-ts ot the North,
are the worst and most dangerous enemies of the Constitu
tion, the Union and our rights, and that we are ready to
strike hands with natives or foreign born, Whigs or Demo
crats, North and South, to defend that Constitution against
the assaults of Abolitionism in the North and fanaticism in
the South.
Bth. Resolved, That while on the one hand this conven
tion cannot point to a single instance ol Catholic interfer
ence with the institution of slavery in the States, ‘1 territories
or District of Columbia ; on the other, we find the enemy
of our own household composed ol 3000 Protestant Clergy
of the North, Know Nothings, Abolitionists and Freesoilcrs,
who make common cause against the South, and against
whom we urge and beg our Southern Know Nothin-;
friends to turn their .arms, and cease their war again, t an un
offending religious sect who have not joined m a crusade
against the South.
Col. Ramsey and Dr. Tramel being present rose and ac
cepted the nomination in an appropriate manner, pledging
themselves to support the principles ot the party.
Col. Mobley having been selected as one to be recom
mended to the county by the committee, declined on ac
count of his private affairs, pledging himself, however, to
give bis entire support to the cause, as he was acting tor the
good of the country and not for him- it.
On motion, Resolved th t the Times &. ‘Sentinel and

A great mass convention of there opposed to the Know
Nothings assembled here on ‘luesday. A large number
of delegates were present from every conn:y in the dis

Baldwin comity between three and four hundred persons.
Great enthusiasm was manifested.
Hon. Linton Stephens, of Hancock, was unanimously
nominated tho. ; candidate tor Congress, to oppose the Rev.
N. G. Foster, the nominee of the Know Notlm.gß.
Mr. Stephens being present, addressed the immense
audience iu an able and convincing argument. After him
Ex-Gov. H. Cobb delivered a speech which we have
never heard surpassed. It was a most triumphant el’iort.
Not a word that could otieiyd the bitterest foe escaped
the orator's lips, but he seemed to rise superior to pur!)
and to speak for the good of the country. Many in that
immense multitude were effected even to tears by the
heart-thrilling pictures presented hy Gov. Cobb to their
imaginations. Every one lelt there was a soundness in
his urgum-nts aud positions that was irresi.-tibie.
After discussing an ample and abundant barbacuc th
rssembly repaired back t> town and after loud calls for
CA. L. ii Briscoe, ol Walton, John Y\ Duncan. E.-q.,

but little to be had, for this reason slave labor is required.
We are authorized to state that the same company have
twenty more iu Missouri, which will be brought to Ne

HUH, WALTER T. COLQUITT.
Tribute of Respect.
State of Georgia, Americas, 2d District, )
Tuesdayi 10th July, 1855. j
The Honorable the Supreme Court met pursuant
I*) adjournment. Present, their Honors, Joseph H.
Lumpkin, Ebenezer Starnes, and Henry L. Ben
ning, Judges.
The death of the Honorable Walter T. Colqittt,
a member of this Bar, was announced this morning
by the Hon. G. E. Thomas, who moved the ap
pointment of a committee to prepare and report
resolutions in relation thereto, which was seconded
hy Col. Seaborn Jones.
Whereupon, the Court moved as a committee
the following gentlemen, viz.: Hon. G. E. Thomas, !
Col. Seaborn Jones, Wm. Dougherty, B. HilL B.
H. Hill, <. M. Dudley, and T. 11. R.‘ Cold), Esqs.
Tne committee to whom was referred the dutjf
of reporting t* the Court a suitable preamble und
resolution in commemoration of the life a;nl char
acter of the Honorable Walter I'. Got o, irr, whom
death has not long since removed from our midst,
respectfully report:
That our much beloved and sincerely lamented
brother, the Honorable Walter T. Colquitt, was I
one of the peculiar men of his age. He, was strong- \
ly and distinctly marked in character, and eminent- |
iy qualified U> leave his impress on the theatre ot I
life. His indomitable will, and great moral courage, j
placed him on high ground in all great emergencies, j
But. alas ! “Death enters and there is m> de- j
fence/’ Neither genius, nor talents, nor moral
worth, nor beauty, call escape the inevitable doom, j
“Dust thou art, and to dust shall thou return.”
Death is said *‘lo love a shining murk.” A mighty j
man has fallen ! After a severe and protracted con- *
flirt, which lie bore with Christian fortitude and ;
f meekness, fie yielded up his life to Him who gave, i
j tt l 1 whose sovereign right it was to take it away.
The event, though not unexpected, was never- 1
theless painful. YVho that knew him, did not love ‘
him ! who that loved, docs not lament his departure !
His seat is here become vacant; his voi.-r is here
hushed, and that forever. Called away in the noon
of his manhood —in the midst of his usefulness.
W hat a chasm is made ! not only in the Court, but
also in the family circle, and in the public councils.
Os his social qualities, how shall we speak 1 Os
a warm and generous disposition, his hea t leaped
at once into every enterprise of benevolence ; his
charity embraced all conditions cf want and wretch
edness.
Os his intellectual endowments, we do not exag
gerate when we say that ha possessed a strong, vig
orous, discriminating mind—an intellect which had
lightning speed and power. In the Court room, or
in the Senate Chamber, he was alike the fearless
and able advocate, the firm arid unyielding patriot.
Always the same great original, he was, as occasion
required, peculiar, striking, overwhelming. His
eloquence sometimes resembled “the music,” some
times “the thunder of the spheres/’
Asa Jam/ advocate, in the defence of life and
liberty, he had few equals and no superior. More
than all, he was a Christian , —a sinner saved by
grace. And if lie ever wandered from the straight
and narrow path—(and who has not ?) none re
pented more sincerely, none made restitution sooner
than he. Religion bore his fainting spirits up
when all earthly props gave way. ’This sustained
this never failed him.
“Our life’s a dream, a morning flower,
Cut down and withered in an hour.”
i But this Amuranlhinc flower blooms the brighter as
| tin; hand of death approaches, and sheds a sweet
I perfume around the cold precincts of “the noisome
I tomb.” “The chamber, where the good man meets
j his late, is privileged beyond the common walks of
! life, quite in the verge of Heaven.” He died, “be
j ing full of the Holy Ghost,” and left the world in
| triumph !
“There is a life above,
And all that life is love.' 1
This mournful Providence speaks to us, hi* surviv
ing brethren, in a language not to be misunderstood,
| ••Be ye also ready.”s Let not the lesson be lost
| but., giving heed, let ns love and adore —knowing
that our Heavenly Father docs all things for the best.
1. Resolved, That while we sincerely sympathize
with the bereaved, we will cherish in our hearts the
memory and the virtues of our deceased Brother.
2. Jit Mitred, That as a perpetual record of our :
love and admiration of him, we respectfully ask ol j
this Honorable Court the privilege of having this j
preamble and these resolutions spread on the Min- ;
ul.es of this Court.
3. Resolved, That a copy of the same he made
out and signed by the Clerk of this Court, and be :
by him forwarded to the family of the deceased, j
Also, a copy for publication to the papers in Colum- i
bus and .Macon.
Remarks of the Sion. Judge Lumpkin.
Jl//\ Chairman and gentlemen, of the Committee and !
the Bar: The Court cordially responds to the very (
feeling and eloquent tribute which you have paid to
the memory ot our deceased brother and friend.
No man that has lived within this State lor tiie
last thirty years has left or will leave a stronger im
press upon the public mind than Walter T. ( l
qi’itt. Who has touched community at so many
points ! Who has exhibited the same versatility of
‘uient ! Who is :i more striking type and exponent
ot ihe practical working of republican institutions l
Emerging from comparative poverty and obscurity, j
he stepped at once from the Bar to the Bcin li, aud \
by the energy ot his mind and character, filled, in .
rapid succession, a seat both in the House ol R*-p. ;
resfihtalivps and Senate of tin United Stales.
As ii popular orator and advocate, especially in J
criminal causes, the deceased was unsurpassed by |
any of his cotemporaries. Am! whatever may have i
been tii* extravagances (if you please) of his style j
and manner, it rarely failed of success and to elicit ;
the enthusiastic applause of his auditory ; and this j
is the highest compliment that can be paid to a pub- j
lid’speaker--alia it he may violate every rule ot rhet- j
oric taught in the schools. His imitations on the j
Hustings, at the Bar, and even in tiie Pulpit—are ;
iegion.
But I will not dwell at this time on tiie peculiar- !
itios of the deceased. No man had more friends or j
friends more devotedly attached to him. And this !
was natural as well as right, for a more unselfish |
man, in all the private relations of life and inter
course with society, never lived. YY'e love them who
love us. is the law tliat binds man to man, as well
is man to his Maker. It was but a short time be
fore Ills death that 1 was conversing with a female
member of his family—a lovely woman who preced
ed him to the grave—and she related how, in a re
cent travel with her father-in-law', when he could
scarcely sit up, he seemed to forget himself entirely
and think only of her comfort. Is it strange that
such a man should be endeared to his friends l
You have spoken, Mr. Chairman, cf the moral
courage of the deceased, But an equal tower of i
strength was his physical firmness. He never feared
the face of man. We have many amongst us who 1
are brave from pride, or principle,or education. His |
was innate. It was the,courage of Nelson and Ney !
and Zachary Taylor—that was wholly -uncoil- i
scious of the presence of danger. I speak what 1 !
know, rfucli a man could not fail to be a maguani- i
mOus foe.
But our friend and brother, so instinct \vi h life, j
has passed away in the meridian of his manhood. ;
That pulse that beat so active lias ceased to throb ; [
that brain that teemed with ten thousand plans and j
purposes, will think no more.
If ever man was endowed vvitli antediluvian con- j
stitution—born to live a thousand yc<r —Judge !
Colquitt was. But he was as prodigal of hi.* healih |
as he was of his purse. He knew no rest. No j
sooner did the bugle sound for political or j roses- |
sional warfare, than every nerve was strained to :lie i
utmost tension for the fight. He rushed into battle ‘
with every power of soul, mind and body, and would j
take no repose till the conflict was ended.
We saw him at this place after one oi the most j
exhausting efforts ever made, and when his mortal i
malady, which had fixed its iron grasp upon him j
several years previously, was preying upon him — j
borne to the stage coach by his friends—hurry ;
away to a neighboring State to renew hi* niggles }
upon another theatre. We caiiuot hut reproach one ;
so munificently endowed tore, ami whose nfe !
was so important to his family and country, for thus j
throwing it away as a useless tiling.
Let us take warning hy his example, and be not j
overworked. We press toward the mark for the j
prize, and perish on Fisgah'in view oi Canaan and i
Us clusters. He seemed to live but to die. YY’e j
Trust lie died but t o’ live forevermore I
But I nni done? Should my lile be spared, and I (
can steal the time from the severe exactions of my i
official duties. I will endeavor to erect a more abid- !
ing monument and one more worthy of the deceas
ed. With me it will be a labor ol love. We w ere ;
College mates in a distant State, at a period of life
when friendships the most pure and lasting are ior- :
med. When l reached Prince ion, J found my
voting countryman in difficulty, and was able, for- J
innately, to assist him. 1 found myself in greater j
trouble, afterwards, when he repaid the obligation !
with usury. 1 can readily forgive and forget an j
injury—a favor, never. The memory of Walter j
T. Colquitt will he pleasant to me until my own j
heart, like his, shall cease to beat.
