that body by a vote <f 53 to 5, and in
the House, unanimously, viz;
The State of Georgia, in solemn con
vention having firmly’’ fixed--herself upon
the* principles of the compromise ■nicu*-
uresof 1850, relating fo.the subject of
slavery* in the ‘leritonei ‘or the united
States’ as a final.settteniqi)t,'of the agita
tion of that question, its withdrawal from
tho halls of Congress, jtnd (lie-political
arena, and is reference to the people of
the Teritories interested therein ; and dis
tinctly recognizing in those compromise
measures the doctrine that it is not com
petent for Congress to impose any restric
tions, as to the existcnce.of slavery among
them upon the citizens moving into, and
settling upon the Teritories ot the Union;
acquired or to he hereafter acquire ,
but that the question whether slavery
shall or shall not form a-part of- their do
mestic institutions, is for them alone to
determine for themselves; and her pre
sent Executive having reiterated and
affirmed the same fixed poliev in his in
augural address:
Be it Resolved by the Senate ane* ‘ House of
Representatives of the Slate of Georgia, in
General Assembly met, Thai the Legislature of
Georgia, as die representative* of die people,
speaking their will, and expressing their feel
ings, have had their confidence strengthened in
the settled determination of die great body of
the northern people to carry out in good faith
those principles, in the practical application of
them to the bills reported by Mr. Douglass from
the committee on Territories in the United
States Senate at the present session proposing
the organization of a Territorial'government
for the territory of Nebraska.
And be it further Resolved, That our Sena

by both branches of the Legislature, viz:
Resolved by the General Assembly of the
State of Georgia, That opposition to the prin
ciples of the Nebraska bill in relation to the
suliject of slavery, is regarded by the people of
Georgia as hostility to the rights of the South,
and that all persons who partake in such oppo
sition are unfit to he recogtrsed as component
juris of any party organization not hostile to
the South.
Scandalous Intelligence from
Spain.
The intelligence that continues to
reach us from Madrid that matters are
becoming more critical there each day
—indeed a revolution ofome kind seems
all but inevitable. The conduct of per
sons in high stations promises to be as
scandalous as ever, and the remonstran
ces of the few, the very few who have
the courage or the virtue to point out j
the danger which menaces the Throne,
are disregarded or condemned. An il
lustrious lady, whoso supplications toiler
exalted relative were very recently trea
ted with the same contempt as the rest,
lias given up the effort. Even the recent
death of the Royal infant, so far from
exciting sympathy in the public mind,
has been the occasion of showing the
feeling of the public, and placards, pos
ted up at night in various quarters of
Madrid, rudely, but it is feared too tru
ly, expresses their profound disgust.—
The wretched ministers tremble at tho
idea of losing their p'.iycc3, and, instead
of arresting the danger which menaces
the Crow.i, glory in the degrading and
mercenary protection of the favorite,
whoso will they dare not resist. The
man who owes all he has ro the press,
and who, hut for it, would he the same
penniless adventurer lie was when he
first lounged among the hungry of the
Pnerta del Sol, is the first to crush it.—
Generals, to some of whom Queen Isa-j
bella is indebted for the crown she wears,!
are banished to distai.t garrisons, .for no
crime but that of having keenly felt the !
degradation to which royalty is reduced |
in Spain, and endeavored to save it from |
the consequences of its own vices. If a I
collision is to take place, few will pity |
those who provoked it. It appears that !
Gen. Prim has been ordered not to re- j
turn to Spain, notwithstanding the very j
zealous manner in which he has performed )
his temporary mission to Turkey.— Par- \

Ch.yxok of Gkttixg Makuikd.—Fan
ny Fern says she is ready to jump at the
first, offer of marriage, and presents her j
qualifications as follows:
“I have very black eyes and hair, am
very petite. 1 am as sensitive as the
‘Mimosa,’ spirited ns an eagle, and un
tamable as cliain lightning. Can make
a pudding or write a newspaper squib,
cut a caper, and crowd more happiness
or in’sery into ten minutes than any Fun
ny that was ever christened.”
Fanny has been twice married, and
any Bachelor who wants to follow in the
footsteps of an illustrious predecessor,
will do well to take a chance.
A Sign’ of War.—A significant fact is
referred to in the private advices of some
of the Boston merchants byiho last steam
er from Europe, vjz: that 11 the English
gpyfrrnmout lias recently been buying
large quantities of saltpetre. One letter
states that they are believed to hold now
d:te half the entire stock in market. -;
They are known certainly to have pm
chased several thousand tons recently : j
and in consequence, an advance of about j
25 per cent, has been made on the ordi
nary frice of the article in market.

We adopt these terms.

Third. Because those who may choose to in

Temperance Movement.
| We see that the temperance men of Griffin
! have put out a Temperance ticket for Mayor
and Aldermen.
This is the way to do it. If we are to have
Temperance by law, let the question be fairly I
and fully met. We like to see people stand up j
like men to what they think is right.
Georgia Legislature.
This body adjourned on Friday last. It has
done nothing with the State Road. The tax
law remains as it was with very slight modifi
cations —the most important is the change of
the time at which the possession of property
subjects it to the payment of tax. It is chan
ged from the Ist January to the Ist April. —
This will give merchants and others time to
collect and pay off their debts, and will no
doubt very considerably reduce the amount of
notes and accounts subject to taxation.
Tin- Turkish War.
We have read somewhere a story of a fellow
who, when the water had covered the earth
about shoulder deep, and the rain pouring
j down in torrents, waded up to the ark with his
umbrella over him, and asked Noah to take
him in, and upon being denied admittance,
turned off and remarked that it was of no con
; sequence, for he did not believe there was go
ing to be much of a shower no how.
For the truth of this story or any part of it,
we do not undertake to vouch—especially that
part of it touching the umbrella, for we know
of no reliable authority which establishes the
fact that that necessary appendage of the pres
ent generation, had tit that early period been
brought into general use —nor is it our present
purpose to attempt to settle that question,
though if ever there was a time when they
might have come into general use and might
be considered serviceable, it was in a general
rain of forty days and forty night*.
Now, although there seems to l> about as
much evidence that there will be a general war
in Europe, as there was that there was going
jto boa general rain, yet we arc of o|>inion that
l it will blow over without much of a war—it
mav turn out that we ate as much mistaken as
i the fellow was about the rain.
\V e have no idea that Nicholas commenced
J his aggressions upon Turkey with any expects
lion or intention of a war with Turkey, much
J .ess had lie any idea of producing a genera!
j war in Europe.
That he calculated uj>on securing the pro
| vinces of Wallachia and Moldavia there can
] be no doubt.
It will be recollected that the difficulty arose
] out of certain demands which Nicholases the
head ot‘ the Greek Church, made in favor of
1 the inhabitants of those Provinces. It was very
| natural for him to sujiposo that in any difficul
ty which might arise out of it, the inhabitants
of those provinces, whose religious privileges he
was professedly defending, would with one ac
cord esj'ouse his cause, and that supported bv
his countenance and aided by his power, they
would throw off the dominion of the Turk, atiJ
annex themselves to his dominions—and that
| under these circuinstan :es the Sultan would
1 give uj( these provinces rather than engage in j
1 j a war with him.
i Again he calculated that if the Sultan should ‘
i attempt to reduce the revolting provinces and a
war should grow out of it, as the champion of
Christianity against Mahommediauism, he
would at least h ive the sympathy of all Chris
tendom, and he would easily succeed in retain
ing the jirovincos. ■• - j
Now all this would have been very reasons- !
j ble, if lie could have succeeded in producing
] the conviction that his connection with the
| matter had been demanded fur the protection
i efChristianity, rather than sought as a pretext
f>r the gratification of his ambition and c-pit’-
itv.
4
’ But Unfortunately for hini he has not been’
able to effect this—the Christian*, whose cause
he pretends to have •espoused, seem to feel tGpt
they would be mote secure under -the-tolcrant
Turk, than’ under the ambitious and tyrannical
Christian— And all Christendom (teems to be
•* i. ‘
satisfied that he seeks the enlargement of his
own powej, rather jhirn the'‘advancement Os
Christianity. ‘
* . ‘ • ‘ r *
Disappointed in his calculations add foiled
in his purposes, he will for thepresent abandon
them. It is said that the lioft; makes- ,bnt one
spring at his prey, And if lie faffs, -he lays itt
wait for another opportunity. He is a man of
grent pride, and may dislike to forego the ac
quisition of these provinces, but he is also a man
of great prudence, and will not pay too -dearly
for them—his caution is equal to Ilia, courage
—he exjwctcd to get these provinces without
much fighting, even with Turkey—Tie is not
going to fight all Europe in revenge. It is no
part of hi* chara.-ter to fight without The pros
pect of making something by it. He’ fights to
increase, not to weaken his power. _lt has
been his policy to war with the weak, not with
the strong.
If she persists in war with Turkey, it will ar
> rav England and France against her, and in
, the end he wifi he weakened, and Turkey great
• ly strengthened ‘• . d?
So much has been said about his power .anff
his military character, that he may perhaps.
| hold off a little, by way of sustaining his. digui
j ty—but be will accept tho terms proposed by
I the other powers of Europe—they may be
j more or less modified, but the thing will be
settled before the opening of spring.
