the aliases of whigoery.
We adverted a few days since l<> ihe ef
fort which is now being made to palm off
upon the country the old federal heresies of
the whig party under the cloak of a new
name. It would be but an easy matter of
invention for the zoologist to change the
name of the leopard, but he could no more
change his spots by the operation than can
the managers of the whig party puige it of
its federalism, by the mere substitution of
ano'her name for that which had become so
odious to the people. Call it what they
will, it is wliiggery -rill, deep dyed in the
wool, warp and woof. The game is a shal
low subterfuge, too shallow to in.pose upon
the weakest optics, an I ere another twelve-
month they will be again driven to the tie
cessity of hunting some newer and more at
tractive name
Distrusting, however, the unaided magic
of a name, the leaders under this new ban
ner tell the people that the old issues are
dead, ari l distinctions founded upon them
aie Senseless. Indeed! Then some of their
presses in those sections where iliese obso
lete ideas were not so unpopular while liv
ing, are certainly manifesting a fiendish dis
regard for the 8acredne3s of the grave, it
we may judge by the eager anxiety with
which they are dragging f.-rth these entom
bed skeletons, and holding them up to the
admiration of their readers. Doubtless our
opponents in Georgia and throughout the
•South would gladly throw the shroud of si
lence over questions vvhich tne repeated
verdict of the people had stamped with tho
sin ol unpopularity; hut federalism io a liv
ing, breathing reality at the North, and we
imag'ne tiial the wand of success would
Galphenizc it into being even here.
We lecollect, some few years since, when
the whig party stood n ith its head erect,
proud of its principles, that the democratic
party was taunted with what its opponents
were pleased to call the want of principles.
The witticism then in the mouth of every
unfledged stump orator was: A-k a Demo

An Important Question Settled.—The
Presbyterian Genetal A-sembly, now sit
ting at Philadelphia—after two or three
days of animated and elaborate debate—
have selected Danville, Kentucky, as the
site for the Western Theological Seminary.
It is fair to presume that, in the next hun
dred years, Danville will become to the
Great West what Princeton has been to
the Great East for tire last hundred. For it
i9 now just one century since Gilbert Ten-
Rent and Samuel Davies went on their cel
ebrated and successful agency to England

ment of Princeton Nassau Hall. From
that hall, Princeton Seminary has grown.
For some thirty years of mote, that little
Western plant, Centre College, (Danville,
Ken.,) has been lifting up its modest head
in the "dark and bloody ground”—first, un
der the nurturing hand of the lamented
Chamberlain, recently slain in Mississppi—
and, afterwards, by the eloquent and ex
perienced Young, the present Moderator
of the Assembly. May we not hope, there
fore, that Danville is destined to a generous
rivalry with or even over Princeton, in lime
tocume—just as surely as that ihe Missis
sippi Valley surpasses, in its resources, the
whole of the old thirteen colonies that nur
tured Princeton in her infancy 7
We preceive, by glancing over the de
bates, that some of the first minds in the
country were engaged. Such, for instance,
as RJ Breckenridge, ofKentucky, Nicholas
Murry, of Jersey, Mr. Van Zant, of Virgin
ia. &c.
The interests of St. Louis were waimly
advocated by a gentleman from Missouri;
and New Albany, by many speakeis of
great ability; but Dr. R. J.' Breckenridge
carried his point over all competitors.
A special motion was immediately made
and edopted, to acknowledge tlie hand of
God in the bappy decision, and to ask his
blessing upon the happy enterprise—which
was accordingly done by the Moderator.

We cordially congratulate tlie Democracy of Geor-

prospects of triumphant issue of the approaching

The Convention was the largest ever assembled in
the State of Georgia. It was not less distinguished
for intelligence than !br its numbers In zeal and
harmony. and enthusiasm, it equalled the famous
Whig Hanison Convention of 1840. while numer
ically it surpassed it. Many of the brightest minds in
democratic ranks were there Some were there of

was one of the most pleasing features o! this Con

One among the richest of tlie rich scenes
enacted in the Gubernatorial Convention
held in this city on Wednesday last was the
speech of our distinguished Senator. Hon
Robert Toombs This gentleman was the
Magnus Appollo of the party _H e con

and spoke it out. At his speech w e were'
certainly as much amused as any one pres-,
ent, anJ that our Demociatic ftiei.Js may
get an idea of it. we will touch upon its
prominent points.
Mr. Toombs began by saying that he
cared nothing for a name—all he wanted
was principles—what these principles are
we are still unadvised. The Georgia I lat-
form we presume is what the speaker
meant by pi ir ciples. He singled out the

he would sink or swim on that sensation.
Here he addiessed himself to Southern

contemplated resistance. Ah! indeed, Mr.

Mr. Toombs in his Resolutions offered in
the Convention, pronounced both National
Parties conupt and not to be trusted. Now,
we are willing to give Mr. Toombs credit
for all he admits as to the unsounduess of
the Whig Party—a man’s acknowledge
ment is proof of the strongest kind when
made in refeience to his own Bets—and will
so betaken. But we deny to Mr. Toombs
the liberty of speaking for his political op
ponents. If the whig Party is corrupt, as
Mr. Toombs admits, tlie Democratic Party
is not corrupt in the estimation of Demo
crats. When Democrats get to abusing their
party, and publicly proclaiming it to be dis
honest, then, and not till then, can Mr.
Toombs, by authority, implicate the Demo
cratic party in bis sweeping denunciations.
Mr. Toombs did not
declare himself opposed to granting a home
in our land to the oppressed of Europe,
hut he would chain their genius In the
Earth with iron manacles, and quench the
light of intellect by paralyzing the ener
gies of the lowering soul. Red Republi
can, indeed! Would that the South had
more sons of her own as true to her soil
and rights as the accomplished and elo
quent Soule.
1 he democracy of Georgia love to hear
a voice from the Toombs uttering anathe
mas and hurling them at the head of 'heir
leader. It warms iheir blood, nerves their
arms, and rouses all the energies of their
souls for tiie conflict. Mr. Toombs may
think that he can drive the people of Geor
gia from the support of President Pierce
merely because, in making his appoint*
merits, he has not consulted Mr. Toombs or
