I Ik- Conventioii which assembles in this catv
on next Friday, promises to be tho largest, in
point of numbers, of any Convention of a like
character, hitherto held in this State. Nearly every
county in the State has appointed adeiegation. Many
of the del. gates appointed arc gentlemen of ability
and great experience; to whom will be confided the
delicate trust of selecting an electoral ticket from
the best men of the State. We cannot too forci
bly impress on our friends the importance of mak
ing good selection-:. It should not be for a mo-
in lit thought, ihat (lie probability of success will
authorise the nomination of inferior men as elec
tors. We cannot tell hoe; animated and closely
contested may be the canvass in Georgia. At any
rate, let us not incur the possibility of defr: t by
nominating an electoral ticket composed of inex
perienced and weak men. Give us the men of
age, of power, and position in the ranks of the
party, and whatever betides, our friend., will find
no causc for self reproach. Hut it third rate men
are to he our leaders in the coming battle, there is
no telling what the result may he. We do most
earnestly commend this suggestion to the thought
ful consideration of the Convention.
Again: The Convention should throw open the
door for the co-operation of men of all parties, who
are satisfied with the ticket nominated at Cincinnati,
a nd the platform of principles upon which that ticket
was placed, and who wish to give to each their ap
proval and support. All men, of all parties, who arc
actuated by a patriotic sense ot duty to support
the nomination of Buchanan and Brcekenridjp
we hope will he welcomed in the right spirit.
Mr. Fillmore a deliberate Akalitlaabt.
In our last isue, we brought to light some inter
esting facts going to show the nature and extent
of Mr. Fillmore’s Americanism. From these facts,
taken from official documents, it would seem that
whilst Mr Fillmore was opposed to the admission
of foreigners to the rights of American citizens,
when these foreigners happened to he white men,
he was anxious that our naturalisation laws should
be altered, so as to allow colored fore inters to ob
tain the rights of citizens, and to hold real estate.
We now propose to show from the public records
of the country and from the written testimony of
1' ing witnesses, (and these w itnesses among the
j most eminent men in our country) that Mr. Fill-
i mol, from the commencement of his political life
j until the present, time, has been an abolitionist.
| The Buffalo Courier, in September, 184ft, pub-
j lislied in the place where Mr. Fillmore lived, says,
: that “in I a 38, Mr. Fillmore placed himself dis-
I tiuctly on the Abolition Platform, so far as that
j platform was then in existence. To that avowal
j of Ids sentiments, we attribute the popularity which
j ho enjoys among Abolitionists and Whigs here and
i ia other Northern States, especially in Ohio.” But
I it is not necessary for us to rely on the testimony
j of newspapers; we appeal to the documents;
j By the Congressional Globe, 2*1 session. 27th
| Congress, part 1, IrMI-'o, page 442, it will appear
that. «n the 21st March, l w 42, Mr. Gidding* of
Ohio, said he had a seci.-s of resolutions, upon a
subject which had called forth some interest iu
the other end of the Capitol, and in the nation.
We annex them, omitting tin- three first:
“Resitted, That slavery being an abridgment of
the natural rights cf man. can exist only by force
of [Kirilive municipal kaB, m-.d is necessarily con
fined to the territorial jurisdiction of the power

governed in their relations to each other by, and
arc amenable to the laws of the United States.
“6. That when the brig Creole, ox her lute pas

of Virginia, the slave laws of that State ceased to
have jurisdiction over the persons (slaves) on
board said brig, and such persons became amena

“7. That the persons (slaves) onboard said brig,
in resuming their natural rights of personal liber
ty. violated no laic of the United States, isrurrrd no
legal penalty, and art justly liable: to no punishment.
“8. That all attempts to regain possession of or

Bennett of the Herald, Greely of tlie Tribune,
and Raymond of the Times, have at last put up in
the same bed. Fremont’s gold is the powerful
magnet that lias attraited these hitherto opposite
bodies. After the election, tiie arrangement is said
to be this. Bennett, Greely and Raymond are to
throw “high die” for the Maripoea Mines. We
rather doubt the truth of this statement. Bennett

This most truckling and despicable of all the
Abolition papers of the North, is patronised ton
considerable extent at the South. We know gen
tlemen, slaveholders, who tak
give their money to be used against them. Now,
that the Herald has boldly proclaimed its adhesion
to the Free Soil party—will Southern men con
tinue to patronize it? We hope no Southern gen
tleman can be so devoid of self respect, so unjust
to his section, and so regardless of bis own rights,
as to patronize the New York llcrald. Jf our South
ern Merchants desire a New York Da paper,

Day Book, the Daily News, or the Suit, rlithcr of

The Savannah Republican, by its silence, admits
the charge wo made against it, of endorsing the
Democratic platform Here is what the .Republi
can said :
“The vote was not taken on the platform at last
accounts, buT we presume it will bo readily car
ried, as « e see nothing in it that airy man—unless
it be Greely—would likely object to. To-day will
commence the great struggle for the nomination.”
There were no qualifying sentences in the ar
ticle from which we took the above, if our mem
ory serves us right. At least the Republican has
furnished none, when called on to do so. We pro
mise the Republican, to withdraw the charge,
when disproven. If not, then we shall give the
extract above a “local habitation” at the head of
our columns: of so much importance, do wc re
gard its homst admission, in a calm moment.

place this nation fn the attitude of maiutaing a

rights and injurious to the feelings and interests
ot the tree States, are unauthorized by the Constitu
tion, and prejudicial to our national character.”
A motion was made that the resolutions lie on the
table. Mr. Fillmore voted nay. with Adams, Gid-
ditigs and Slade. And vet we .ire called upon to
bclive his mind was unprejudiced; and, although
the resolutions were premised a. year after the de
cision in the case on which he relies, lie regarded j
the questions raised by them as settled! John;
Minor Butts, on the same day, offerred the follow
ing preamble and resolutions:
“Whereas, the lion. Joshua R Giddings lias j
this day presented to this House a series of resol it- j
tious touching the most important interests con-j
reeled with a large portion of the Union, now a
subject of negotiation between the United States !
and Great Britain, of the most delicate nature, the
result of which may eventually involve those na
tions in war ; and whereas, it is the duty of every
good citizen to discountenance all efforts to create
excitement, dissatisfaction and division among the
people of theUnited States at such a time, under
such circumstances; and whereas, mutiny and
murder are therein justified and approved, in terms
shocking to all sense, of law, order and morality ; I
therefore,
“Rescind, That this House holds the conduct of i
the said member as altogether unwarranted and !
unwarrantable, and deserving the severe condem
nation of the people of this country, and of this
body in particular.”
On these resolutions a motion was made to sus
pend tlie rules—yeas 128, nays 68. Fillmore vo
ted nay-, with Adams. Giddings, and Slade. Two-
thirds not voting in the affirmative, the rules were
nut suspended.
The call tor resolutions still resting with the
State of Ohio, Mr. Weller offerred Mr. Botts’ res
olutions as his own, in the discussions which then
took place. Jlr Fillmore appeared as the special
apologist and defender of his confrere, Giddings,
who seems to have been so closely allied to him in
feelings as we have shown him to have been in
votes.
But tfie case against Mr. Fillmore does not stop
here. By the Congressional Globe, 3d session,
27th Congress, 181Z-'3, page It.6, it wiii appear
that on the 9d day of January, 1843, (two years
after the Mississippi case,) Mr. Slade, ot Vermont,
moved the following preamble and resolutions: j
“Whereas, by a law of the Uni ed States, framed i
on tiie 15th May, 1827, the foreign slave trade is '
( declared to be. piracy, and is made punishable by i
; death; and whereas." there is, and has long been, !
I carried on in the District of Columbia, within !
| sight oi tlie halls ot the two houses of Congress,
(and the residence of the Chief Executive Magis-
I trite of the nation, a trade in men, involving all
■ the principles of outrage ou human rights which
J characterize the foreign slave trade, and which I
j have drawn upon it the maledictions of the civil- |
j tzed world, and stigmatized those engaged in it as '
i the enemies of the human race; and whereas, tlie !
| trade thus existing in this District is aggravated in |
enormity by reason of its being carried ou in the j
heart ot a uation whose institutions are based up- j
on the principle that all men are created equal,and '
whose laws have in eff ct proclaimed its great and j
superlative iniquity; aggravated moreover, by its !
outrage on tlie sensibilities of a Christian commu- j
nity, by sundering the ties of Christian brother-;
the Herald, and j hood, and by the anguish of its remorseless viola- j
tion of all the. domestic relations, rendered tlie
more deep and enduring by the hallowing influ
ence ot the Christian religion upon those relations j
and by the increase of strength which it gives to j
the domestic affections; and whereas, this trade in |
human Icings is carried on under the authority of j
laws enacted by the Congress of the United States, i
thereby invoicing the people of all the States in i
its guilt and disgrace—a guilt and disgrace en
hanced by the consideration that those laws are a
virtual usurpation of power, the constitution of
the United States having conferred ujon Congress |
no right to establish tlie relation of slavery, or to
sanction and protect the slave trade, in any portion of
tkis confederacy: therefore, resolved,” Ac. Ac.
Mr. I illmore voted in favor of this preamble and
resolution, with his participators iu negrodom,
Adams, Giddings. and Slade. And yet. forsooth,
we are to regard the declaration that the question j
was settled in his rnind since 1841, and tliat, good, j
easy, honest soul, he was perfectly impartial and !
unprejudiced, after the Supreme Court had flapped !
its wings . ver lus conscience. “A Little civet,good \

Gov Wise on Fillmore.—We shall call one j
now to th" stand who served with him from his i
first entrance into Congress—Henry A. Wise! In i
a letter which that gentleman addressed to F. J.
Alfred, of Augusta, dated July 29, 1848, and pub
lished at the time, we tiud many important devel
opments lie says: “I, too, served with Mr. Fill
more, much longer than Mr. Stuart did, in Con
gress, and I was intimately acquainted with his
speeches and votes in the House of Representa
tives on the subject of slavery, and of its aboli
tion, in all their forms; and I do not hesitate, on
my own personal knowledge and responsibility, to
pronounce the charge of abolitionism against Mr.
1 illmore true. I appeal to the journals of the
House, for the whole period of Mr. Fillmore's ser
vice in Congress, to prove that, if he is not stn ab
olitionist, John Quincy Adams was not; Giddings
was not. He voted with them, and against the
South, on every question of slavery or its aboli
tion, without an exception within my knowledge
or recollection.”
bnt thoroughly anti-slavery in all espects, neither
of them, to my knowledge, having differed with
the abol, ionists on any practical question. Mr.
Webster himself had repeatedly voted for the Wil-
mot proviso, and on one occasion claimed.the au
thorship of that principle, and said that Wilmot
had "stolen his thunder." In his speech of the
7th of March, 1850, which was regarded as concili
atory in its tone, he said that he would not vote to
put the Wilmot proviso on the Mexican territory,
because in that territory slavery was already ex
cluded bv the existing law, and the proviso was
unnecessary. In making this statement, I do not
wish to detract from the general liberality of Mr.
Webster’s views on that occasion. As to Mr. Fill
more's appointments in the North to foreign mis
sions, and other high stations, they were in every
instance, as tar as I know, made from the ranks of
the free-soilers or Wilmot-proviso men. By free
soilers I intend to designate all those who are in
favor of Congress, hv its legislation, excluding
slavery from the territory of the United States. A
great many of these appointees of Mr Fillmore were,
by their service in Congress, personally known to
me, and as far as I know or believe, they were all in
that sense free-Roiler-. If he ever did make an ap
pointment in a free State to any office of a person
who had shown himseif willing that the common
territories <<f the Union should be open to southern
men and their slave property, as well as to north
ern ones. I do not know it. and have no reason to
believe it. Nor did Mr. Fillmore, in making these
appointments, require the individuals to renounce
their former views
The case, then, between General Bierce and Mr.
I illmore ought to he thus stated: General Pierce
appointed a few men who had been free-soilers to
inferior offices, after they had renounced their for
mer views, and professed conservative national
sentiments, while Jlr. Fillmore appointed front
the North to all offices, high and low, none but
treesoilers, without requiring them to renounce
any previous opinion.
Here we will close for the present, for fear that
this article may already be too long; promising,
however, to bring forward hereafter proof upon
proof and line upon line, sufficient to convince
any man that is willing to know the truth, that
Millard Fillmore, from his youth upward, has been an
Abolitionist; nor havo we any satisfactory testi
mony to show that he has ever changed his senti
ments, however, his experience at Washington
may have modified his views upon some subjects,
and tiis oath of office may have compelled him to
make a tardy and ineffectual attempt to execute
the Fugitive Slave Law; We now submit to every
honest man if it is not an insult to any Southern
man. especially to any slaveholder, to ask him to
vote for Millard Fillmore for President.
XoiuiuntioH of Fremont.
The nomination of John C. Fremont for Pres
ident, by the Black Republican Convention, is, in
our judgment, the most gratifying sign which has
appeared on the Northern horizon, for many
months. It is a flat admission of the enemy, of
their utter despair of success. If there had been
the remotest chance of a triumph, the Black Re
publicans never would have nominated so obscure
or so weak a man, personally and politically. Se
ward the great champion of the enemies of the
South, the commander in general of the joint
forces of Abolition and Know Nothingisra, was
not even suggested in connection with the Black
Republican nomination. Judge McLean, Chase,
Wade and Banks, the man of power, experience
and intellect, arc all very willing that an upst art,
and mere adventurer, like Fremont, should be put
forward to be defeated and disgraced Seward is
tv el I aware that the battle is lost to his side. He
knows the result already ; and therefore must pru
dently retires from the field, to view, at a dis
tance, the impending struggle. So with Chase,
and Wade, and Hale. They arc satisfied to watch
and wait, while the Hero of the Woolly Horse, j

ELECTORS FOR THE STATE AT LARGE.
Editors F. leral Union: Permit ms, through the
columns of your paper, to suggest the names of
Hon. John E. Ward, of Chatham, and Dr. John
W. Lew is, of Cass, as suitable persons to he nom
inated by the approaching Democratic Conven
tion. to be run as electors for the State at larg-e, on
the Democratic ticket. The present position of
these two prominent Democrats of Georgia before
their party, eminently fit them to head tiie Buchan
an and Breckenridge ticket. Their locality should
also recommend them to the Convention—one re
siding near the seaboard, the other near the moun
tains. Besides, they were both prominent mem
bers of the Democratic Convention at Cincinnati—
Mr. Ward the presiding officer, and Dr. Lewis one
of the Vice Presidents. They are, therefore, fa
miliar with the sentiments and feelings of our par
ty throughout the country. Let the Convention
place the names of those two gentlemen at the
head of our ticket, and it will be responded to
with enthusiasm by the Democratic party through
out the length and breadth of the State.

KANSAS MEETL\<n.\ HOUSTON.
Agreeably' to previous notice, a portion of the
citizens of Houston met at Perry on the 15th nit.,
for the purpose of adopting measures relative to
the Territory of Kansas.
On motion of John H. Powers, Esq., Col. Sam
uel D Killen was called to the Chair, and John
H. King requested to act as Secretary.
The Chairman, in an appropriate and concise
addn-ss, exp! ir.ed the object of the meeting.
Mr Joint W. White, of the Territory of Kansas, I
being present, was introduced by the Chairman, I
and in a plain, argumentative speech, replete with j
facts and sound reasoning, addressed the meeting I
in a convincing manner, in favor of the rights of i
the South, and the adaptation of slave labor to that j
Territory.
Mr. John H. Powers then offerred the following i
preamble and resolutions, which were unanimous
ly adopted:
Whereas, It is a fact well established, that
from the organization of the Federal Government
to the present day, the South has never committed
a breach of faith or an act of aggression upon the
rights of the North. She has strictly fulfilled every
obligation that devolved upon her, and has invari
ably acted up to the letter and spirit of every meas
ure itivol-
Wherever it has had a fair trial, the result has been
precisely as Wood predicts. It has never failed to
turn the white hair back to the natural color,
where the directions have been strictly followed,
and in numerous cases it has restored the hair
upon heads that had been bald for years. It is
nut pretended that it will make the hair grow in
every case but whenit fails thpre is certainly not
remedy. The restoration of the hair has been
attested in so many instances where the case
seemed utierpy hopeles, that it is certainly worth
while for all who have lost their hair to try the ex
periment of using a bottle or two of Wood’s Res
torative.—Moline Workman. 3 4t.
On such subjects the Testimony of Homan should
be. conclusive.—New York. August 2, 1852. Mrs.
Clttte, of No. 272 Second street, believing her
child, about three years old, to be troubled with
worms, purchased one bottle of Dr. M lane’s cele.
brated Vcrmefuge, prepared by Fleming Bros.,
Pittsburg, Pa„ and gave it two tea-spoonsful
which had the effect of causing the child to dis
charge a iarge number of worms. Tha child is
now enjoying good heallh. We would advise al 1
parents who may suspect their children to be
troubled by worms to lose no time, but immmedi-
ateiy purchase and administer Dr. M’Lane’s Cele

auay the little comfort otir opponents derive from

degrees and beautifully less.” Sumner sick, was
a great man; hut Sumner well will be nobody.
But, if the testimony of Mr. Wise needs eonfitm-
ation, we have abundant other testimony’ to prove
all that wo have ever alleged against Mr. Fill
more, and we will here introduce. Mr. Clingman
of North Carolina, who, in a late address to his
eonsititueuts, testifies as follows:
Where Angels fear to tread.”
Fremont is the candidate of the Treasury Vul
tures—who aspire to pick the Public carcase, and
feather their own nests. One year’s rule of the
1‘ remont party would bleed the Treasury of its
last dollar; and such millions as Bennett of the
Herald, and Raymond of the Times, would get as
fat as Jack Fa I staff, and “lard the lean Earth,” as
they walked along.
Where me I hey now?
We know that a large majority of the present
supporters of Mr. Fillmore in Georgia, were, four
vests ago, when “Union men,” unqualifiedly in
favor of James Buchanan for tbo Presidency, over
any; other man. The newspapers of that day cor
roborate the truth of this assertion. In 185 ) and
1851, and even as late as 1853, many of the most
ardent friends of Mr, Fillmore, freely acknowl
edged the claims of Mr. Buchanan for th ■ Federal
Executive chair. Where are those men now?
Nearly all of them are now opposing the election
of their favorite, Mr. Buchanan. What has he
done to forfeit their good wishes and admiration
as a great Statesman and pure p.vriot? Nothing;
nothing but accept tiie nomination of the Demo
cratic party for President. In the opinion of
many of his late admirers, this is the unpard en
able sin. But where are those honest and patriot
ic \\ bigs, who, so short a time ago, preferred Mr.
Buchanan for the Presidency, over any other man
in the 1 niou? We are pleased to know that a
large portion of those man are acting consistently
now; by’ cordially supporting Mr. Buchanan. But
there an: many others still hesitating—still halt
ing between duty to their country, and love of
party. M any will make the right decision, and
enjoy the approval of their own consciences, and
the applause of their countrymen. Many will
cling to a lifeless idol, and find, in the end. that
disappointment and misery, which arc the certain
fruits ot a departure from the path of duty, and
principle.
CJiMir over io the Black RrpiiblicniiR,
The Fillmore national Club of New York, has
gone over to the VVoollyhorse woolly head Party,
aud changed its name to the “American Republi
can National club”—great Julius Caesar Napo
leon Bonaparte Anna Maria Hezekiah Phoebus,
what a name! It there are any Fillmore men at
the North, they keep very quiet. And yet the
friends of Mr. Fillmore, here at the South, speak
of their party as a National Party’. Mr. Fillmore
made a mistake in writing his letter of acceptance.
He doged the issues before the country. For that
reason the Black Republicans reject him—for that
reason the South rejects him. Hal he taken an

My colleague also assails Fresidest Pierce on
the groun® that there are among his appointees to
office free-soilers. The men alleged to he of that
class hold comparatively subordinate stations: and
on behalf of tho President it is contended that, in
every instance, before any such were appoint
ed, they were understood to have abandoned
their former obnoxious views, and adopted
the national principles of the democratic platform
i>{ the Baltimore Convention of 1852. But, to test

During the past week, indeed for two weeks,
the heat has been almost intolerable. Added to
this we have had no rain in the city, or about it to
the distance of three or four miles, for a month.
Our gardens nfe ruined, and our corn withered,
nay buurt up. Now,when we should be surround
ed with gaiden luxuries, we have none. Truly we
have suffered. We are glad to hear that other por
tions of the county have been more fortunate.
We ere gratified to add, that a very pleasant
shower came upon us Sunday evening. It has
laid the dust, and cooled the atmosphere. The
gardens cannot be revived, and we very much
doubt, whether a genuine old fashioned two days
rain could save the corn in and about Alillcd^e-
ville.

hand, a port ten of the Northern people—led on by j
a spirit of fanaticism—have been, for a series of j
years, ins diously striking at the rights of the !
South through every medium and by every means j
possible for them to employ. And uow, when the j
great principles of justice and equality to every j
section of the L'nion has been established as the |
fundamental law of the land, they seek to prevent
it by wilfully infringing upon its provisions. They
have attempted to defeat tiie spirit of the Nebras-
ka-Kansas act, by unlawful interference in the af
fairs of Kansas, by encouraging insurrection and
violent opposition to the laws of that Territory. In
view of these unmitigated outrages, we deem it our
right and duty to protect and defend the interests
of the ftouth against such unlawful and violent
interference.
Therefore Resolved, That the Territories of the
United States belong in common to the people of
the Union, and as such, the citizens of any and
every State have an undoubted right to emigrate
to Kansas or any other Territory of the United
States, with any tiling that may be considered pro
perty in the respective States.
Resulted, That an Association be formed to en
courage the emigration of persons to Kansas
who are willing to sustain the Government of that
Territory, and to defend the South against tho un
lawful and violent assumptions of abolition out
laws and rebellious conspirators.
Resolved, That an Executive Committee, con
sisting of Sam’) D. Killen, L. Rogers, John 11.
Powers, H. I.. Dennard and Win. H. Tnlton, be
appointed for the purpose of currying into effect
the objects contemplated by this preamble and
these resolutions.
Resolved, That a Committee, consisting of (wo
or more in every Militia District in this County, he
appointed to solicit subscriptions, and that they
return the same to the Executive Committee as
soon as practicable.
Resolved, Tnat the funds raised he first offerred j
to tlie citizens of this county, under such restric- I
tions as may he adopted by the Executive Com
mittee, and should no application be made by cit
izens as aforesaid, within a reasonable time, then
the Executive Committee shall dispose of the
funds of the Society as in their judgment will best
promote the " ijects of the foregoing resolutions.
Resolved, That we cherish the warmest feelings
for those patriots of the North, who, regardless of
tiie wiles of abolitionism and fanaticism, have
maintained tlie Constitution and the rights of the
ftouth.
The Chairman then appointed the following
committees for the Districts of the County:
For the Lower Town District—Dr. P. B. D. H.
