Some of our contemporaries persist in the opinion
that our State Convention should be held in July,
nud not iu June. We have given our views of
th • advantages likely to arise front an early organi
zation, apd a Convention in June. The Democra-
ct are divided in opinion aa to thc day, and evil
w ill flow out of this division, unless an under
standing be reached at once. How shall the ill
< tfects of a misunderstanding, and the consecpient
confusion, be avoided, if this division continues
in noli longer? We appeal to the people for a solu
tion of the difficulty. Let us hear from the people
at once, in the several sections of the State, and
then the Press can give their decision all necessary
prominence some week* before the time.
m We say, then, to the Democracy, as the Press
are divided in opinion as to the best time to hold the
Convention, and seem likely to continuo so, as-
s mble in your primary meetings, and speak out.
I.ct every county speak at once in relation to this
matter. Let us know which day you prefer, the
1 m day of June, or the 2nd Wednesday in
.It i.v. We shall cheerfully abide the voice of a
majority of the party. Desiring chiefly to advance
its interests, we only need be shown in what di-
rcetion it lies to take it. We have said our last
word upon this subject, for sometime to come.

The Washington Union, in the course of a
lengthy and able article on the political complex
ion of the next House of Representatives, and the
doty of the Democratic party in those States
where elections for members of Congress are yet
to be held, makes the following allusion to the
■Soul hern States.
“The brunt of the battle is with the democracy
of Maryland, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Caroli
na and'Alabama. They can either save or sacri
fice, ar.,1 with them, bold, unselfish, and true,
whenever principles are at stake or duty points
the way. there is safety and success. We have an
abiding faith that they will bear aloft our good
old banner once more in triumph; and that Vir
ginia. Georgia. Mississippi, Lousiana, and Tex
as. will contribute their vote to swell the general
rejoicing. The North has done well—better than
was anticipated—and promises more for the fu
ture. The South has never faltered: let the South
stand firm now. Let the South vote for members
of Congress as the South voted in November last,
and all will be well.’’
It is very true that the brunt of the battle is
with the Democracy of the States of Kentucky
and Tennessee, particularly. In those two
States the Democracy may ho able to decide the j
complexion of the House. Iu the first named, the |
delegation in the last Congress stood. 6 K. X's and j
4 Democrats. In the latter, 5 and 5. By proper
effort, the Democracy may gain 5 members in
these two States. But where every gain countsi
even the addition of one member to the Democratic
side of the next House, will tell in the final sum
ming up. Now, what can the Democracy of Geor
gia do, to help secure a Democratic majority in
the next House of Representatives? Two Dis
tricts, 3J and 7tb, in this State are represented by
“South Americans,” Messrs Trippe and Foster:
and they will continue to he <thus represented, if
they vote for members of Congress as they voted
in November last, for President. Mr. Fillmore's
majority in the 7th was less than a hundred, and in
the 3d, less than one hundred and twenty. Both
of these Districts may be carried by the Demo
cracy in the coming election. But only by an
early organization, the nomination of strong and
able men, and an energetic canvass. It is useless
to attempt to carry the 3d district, unless our
friends there will find him out, and then unite up
on the man who is most clearly the choice of the
Democracy of that District. In the 7th District,
we apprehend no difficulty from clashing and
conflicting interests. The people of the 7tli, we
believe, very generally, have determined who
they will have to represent them in the next Con
gress, and thai man is not Col. N. G. Foster, nor
is he of his political household. In these two Dis
tricts, the 3d and 7th, the Democracy have got to
tcorlc; no doubt about that. But with men able to
hold themselves up in the fight with Sam, the
labor will be more like recreation than any
thing else. Let us, then, Democrats of the
3d and 7th Districts, determine, that if the
Democracy he not in a majority in the next House
of Representatives, the fault shall not he ours.
Let union and harmony prevail in our District
Conventions—let rival aspirations be tempered by
a spirit of magnanimity and patriotism:—let not
disappointment cool the ardor of any, in the great
work before us; but let every Democrat, actuated
solely by a desire for the success of his party iu
the national Congress, throw off his troubles with
his coat, and give his best energies to promote the
triumph of the principles of the Constitution, and
the success of the national Administration —
Above all things, we exhort our friends to guard
against apathy. General Apathy has lost many
battles—trust not his leadership. But be active,
vigilant, a worker—be at the post of duty, at all
times during the pendency of the fight, and sur
prise or defeat will not overcome us, and cover the
Party with dismay.

Since the decision of the Supreme Court on the
Dred Scott case has been known, there .has been
weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth among
the Black Republicans. Well may they howl and
lament, for it is a death blow to their hopes. All
of tlieir favorite dogmas have been overthrown by
the highest legal authority in the land, and from
this decision there is no appeal. This decision of
the Supreme Court supports and sustains the prin
ciples of the Kansas-Xebraska bill at every point.
It pronounces the Missouri Compromise as uncon
stitutional, null and void, from the beginning. The
Compromise, which Black Republicans and Know-
Nothings professed to consider so sacred, and its
repeal so wicked as to bring unnumbered evils up
on tlie country,is now declared, by the highest au-

A Warning From Onr Who Kuona.
In the Savannah Republican of the 20th inst.,
we observe a solemn warning against party dicta-
'ion. This conies with peculiar force from one
■who has seen the elephant, and, therefore, knows
" hat he is writing about. In no party that ever
existed in this or any other country, that we ever
heard or read of, were the mandates of a party so
imperative and exacting as those of the Know-
Nothing party. If tlie reports that have escaped
lrom that mental Bastile of America are true, the
unhappy inmates of n Know Nothing lodge or
council were surronndc-d, hedged in,and barricaded
hy more moral nnd political restrictions than ever
lettered the minds and consciences of either Jacobin
or Jesuit. The editor of tiic Savannah Republi
can, we believe, was one of the leaders in the
Know Nothing order, and if so, can speak with
knowledge and feeling on this nielunchully subject.
M ii 'ther the evils of which he complains exist to
any very great extent, we know not, hut if they
do. it is certainly time that they were rebuked,
and, if possible, airested ; and we know of no one
trom whom the rebuke could come with more force,
than from one of the high priests of the Know-
Nothing order. It is as if one should come back
from the infernal regions to warn men of the hor
rors of that place of torment. Surely when a
Know Nothing speaks of party dictation, of party
bonds, and even of party oaths, lie should be heard,
for he speaks from personal knowledge and bitter
experience, and his warning voice should, in many
respects, be regarded as the voice of one risen
lrom the dead.

for the benefit of the agitators North and South.
Already the play has commenced at the South.
The very- men who have denounced the repeal of
the Missouri Compromise, aud abused the men
that voted for it, will now constitute themselves
the particular champions of Kansas. But the
Southern people can never forget, that unless tlie
Missouri restriction had been repealed, Kansas
could never, by any possibility, have become a
slave State; and these new champions of Kansas
were opposed to the repeal of that restriction, and
chose for their leader a man who considered that
measure a Pandora’s Box, from which has issued
all our evils. It is well to remember all these
tilings, for it will not be long before we shall see
the opposition, as they did by the Mexican war,
endeavoring to ride into power on the popularity of
a measure which they had but a short time before
most bitterly opposed. Whether the people of
Kansas shall choose a constitution favoring slavery
or not, they stand ready to complain and to agi
tate, for it is by agitation that they live, move, and
have a being. Whether they pull at the Northern
or Southern end of the rope, they will mutually
help each other to embarrass the administration
and to clog the w heels of government, and this ap
pears to be tlieir main object. But if the people
continue to watch over tlieir liberties as they have
done, both factious will be disappointed, aud tlie
country will long continue to prosper under tlie
influence of Democratic principles, aud be guided
by Democratic counsels.

Small Pox.—Some apprehension prevails iu our

now afflicted with Small Pox. Physicians and
others who have se< n the case, say that it resem
bles that disease in its appearance and symptoms.
Doubts, however, are entertained as to the identi
ty of tiie disease. Persons from the country need
fear no danger in visiting our city, as the patient's
residence, where he is uoiv confined, is some three-
quarters of a mile from the business part of town,
and he lias never been up town since bis return,
and all communication with the location has been

spread of the disease, even if it proves to be the
genuine Small Pox.—Empire State, ( Griffin.)

The late decision of the Supreme Court of the
United States, in the Dred Scott case, wiil bring
the enemies of the South face to face with the Con
stitution of their country. They cannot escape
the issue present'd—the observance of the laws of
the land, or disunion. They can no longer dodge
under such pretexts as “bleeding Kansas.” That
harp of one string has played its last tune, and
must now- be hung up. Or, if continued to be
used by tlie reverends Henry Ward Beeehc-r and
Theodore Parker, it will not call forth the respon
ses it was wont to do in the flush times of “bleed
ing Kansas.” Many of tlie followers of these in
fidel preachers, are not the fools or fanatics their
conduct would seem to indicate. They acted upon
principle, many of them, in their opposition to the
repeal of the Missouri Compromise : and tlieir zeal
for free Kansas was excited to the highest pitch,
by the lying agents of the f ree State Party. But
it is quite a different question now. The leaders
of the Black Republican Party are denouncing
the decision of the very Tribunal to which they
had appealed, aud are endeavoring to excite among
the people of the North a bitter hostility to it. i
They will endeavor to organize a party on the basis 1
of opposition to the decision of a majority of the •
Court in the Dred Scott case. But, fanatical a* the j
people of New England are, they will hesitate to !
enter the ranks of a political party, organized for 1
the express purpose of overturning a decision of >
tho Supreme Court of the United States. Some of
our Southern editors deprecate tho agitation to
which this decision will give rise. But let it come.
The fury of the storm has passed. The treasona
ble conduct of the leaders of the Black Republican
party will be rebuked at their very doojs. The is
sue they have raised w ill be met by the true-heart
ed, Constitutional, law-abiding men of the North,
and thousands who followed Fremont and “bleed

Union men of the country, in sustaining the deter
mination of the Supreme Court in the Dred Seott

A Citizen of a State and a Citizen of the
United States.—Many of our contemporaries,
we observe, assert ibat the Supreme Court of the
United States lias decided, in the ‘Dred Seott case,’
that a colored man cannot he a citizen of a State.
Our contemporaries cannot have read the decision
iu question, or they would scarcely have hazarded
so wild ail assertion; for Chief Justice Taney ex
plicitly admitted that citizenship of a State and
citizenship of a federal republic were two distinct
things, and thus a man might be a citizen of the
one withou' being a citizen of the other. There
is nothing in the ‘Dred Scott' decision to disfran-
cliise persons of African descent whom a State
(Rliodo Island, for example) lias declared capable
of voting for its State officers. The common
wealth of Pennsylvania might to-morrow, if it
chose, make colored persons lull citizens of Penn
sylvania, though it could not make them citizens
of the United States, w liicli is a different republic,
and which alone has the right to determine who its |
citizens are. It is important to keep this distinc
tion in mind. The Supreme Court of the United I
States, while it has the constitutional right to de-1
termmewbo are the citizens of the National Fed-1
eral Republic, w ould be transcending its pow ers to I
dictate to this or any other State, w hom Pcunsyl-i

however humble or exalted. 1 have eschewed all
sectional disputations, kept aloof from all party
affiliations, and have alike scorned numerous
threats of personal injury and violenc-.and the most
flattering promises of advancement and reward.
And I ask and claim nothing more for the part I
have acted than the simple merit of having en
deavored to perform my duty. This I have done,
at all times and upon every occasion, regardless
of the opinions of men, aud utterly fearless of con
sequence*. Occasionally I have been forced to
assume great responsibilities, aud depend solely
upon my own resources to accomplish important
ends; but in all such instances, I have carefully ex
amined surrounding circumstances, weighed well
the probable results, and acted upon my own de
liberate judgment; and in now reviewing them. I
am so well satisfied with the policy uniformly
pursued, that were it to be done over again, it
should not be changed in the slightest particular.
In parting with you I can do no less than give
you a lew words of kindly ad rise, and even of
friendly warning. \ oil are well aware that most
of the troubles which lately agitated the Territory,
were occasioned by men wiio had no especial in
terest in its welfare. Many of them were not even
residents: whilst it is quite evident that others
were influenced altogether in tlie part they took
in the disturbances by mercenary or other personal
considerations. The great body of tlie actual citi
zens are conservative, law abiding peace loving,
men. disposed rather to make sacrifices for con
ciliation and consequent peace, than to insist for
their entire rights should the general good thereby
be caused to suffer. Some of them, under the in
fluence of the prevailing excitement and misgui
ded opinions were led to the commission of gre-
vious mistakes, but not with the deliberate inten
tion of doing wrong.
A very few men resolved upon mischief, may
keep in a state of unhealthy excitement and in
volve in a fearful strife, an entire community.
This was demonstrated during tlie civil commo
tions with which the Territory was convulsed.—
Wliile the people generally were anxious to pursue
their peaceful callings, small combinations ot
crafty, scheming and designing men succeeded,
from purely selfish motives, in bringing upon them
a series of most lamentable and destructive difficul
ties. Nor are they satisfied with the mischief al
ready done. They never desired that the present
peace should he effected; nor do they intend that
it shall continue if they have tlie power to prevent
it. In the constant croakings of disaffected
individuals in various sections, you hear only the
expressions of evil desires and intentions. Watch, j
then, with a special, jealous, and suspicious eye,
those who are continually indulging surmises of 1
renewed hostilities. They are not the friends of
Kansas, and there is reason to fear that some of
them arc not only the enemies of this Territory,
hut of the Union itself. Its disolntion is their
ardent wish, and Kansas has been selected as a tit
plaee to commence the accomplishment of a most
nefarious design. The scheme has thus far been
frustrated, but it has not been abandoned. You
are entrusted not only with the guardianship of
tliis Territory, but the peace of the Union, which
depends upon you in a greater degree than you
may at present suppose.

against the Brunswick lv. R. Company, the Bruns
wick Herald understands that the whole matter is
illegal, ‘Judgment for $4(1,1)00 having by some
means been obtained on a claim of only (5 or 8,000.'
It was for iron delivered in 1252. The Herald adds:
No harm can come to tlie present Brunswick
Company, as they have in their hands abundance
of assets of the old company to indemnify them
should any ultimate judgment be obtained, which
is not probable.
A correspondent of the Herald thus describes the
consternation created by the announcemnnt of the
execution and of the location of the Naval Depot.
Mr. Editor:—You can well imagine the un
easiness of the people, and the complete stagnation
of fill kinds of business and improvement
when the news of tlie $40,000 execution against
the B‘ & F. R. R. reached our city. It cam 1 ' like
an avalanch from some unexpected source. It was
like a tornado, sweeping over the lahd leaving
naught but ruin and destruction in its track. It
served for a time to crush tin; hopes of the most
buoyant and sansruine. Men stood about, in
squads, as if stationed for the purppse of catchin g
tlie last departing ray of onr city's promised glory.
Property holders, laud speculators, met to estimate
the extent of their losses, occasioned by the de
preciated value of real estate. The golden visions
of tin- members of al! trades and professions van
ished like chaff before the wind.
Upon the heel of this startling intelligence, tlie
news of the selection of St. Simon’s Island, as the
point for the location of the Navy Yard, contrary
to provisions ofthe bill passed by Congress, was
received from Savannah. Thus, robbing us of
all tlie advantages to be derived from tliis great
national enterprise.aud blasting the only remaining
hope of Brunswick.
The writer however remarks iu conclusion:
Tho trembling lias ceased, our fears have been
dismissed, the noise of honest industry is again
heard in our midst, and our people cease to be
haunted by the ghost of the Mam trunk.
Utah Territory.—The telegraph announces that
the office of Governor of the Territory of Utah,
has been tendered to the Hon. Fayette Mc-
M t I.LEN, of Virginia, who led the opposition upon
the resolution of thanks to Speaker Banks.
In this connection, we may mention upon the
authority of the Washingtou Ercning Star, that
there is positive information in Washington city
that Utah Territory is in a state of rebellion. The
Mormons have burned the U. S. archives, court
records, Sec., and avow their determination to
drive from the territory, the officers of the terri
torial government, to be appointed by the Presi
dent, unless he yields to their dictation and ap
points those recommended by them. They have
prepared two schedules of federal officers, both of
them headed by BRIGHAM Young, for Governor,
and demand that one or the other shall be adopted
by tlie President.—Daily Constitutionalist.
From the Atlantic to the Mississippi.—This day
the cars run the entire distance from Savannah and
Charleston on the Atlantic Ocean to Memphis oil
tlie Mississippi River. A gentleman who has just
passed over the line, having left Memphis last
■Sunday, informs us that on that day but six miles
of staging were encountered between the Mississip
pi and Chatanooga. This gap was to be closed with
iron bar yesterday. Iu other words, the Charles
ton and Memphis Road is now completed.
Now for the first time there is uninterupted
railroad communication through slaveholding
States from tlie Atlantic to the Mississippi. Sa
vannah is thus brought within 741 miles, or a
little less than 4i) bolTrs, travel of Memphis. The
distance from Charleston is but 15 miles greater.
Fron Memphis an extension, now under way
stimulated by liberal grants of public lauds, is to be
made to Little Rock, Arkansas, and thence on to
Fulton and Henderson, Texas, there to connect
with the Southern Pacific Railroad.—Geo. Sf Jour.
‘iacannah and other Appointment*.—WASHING
TON, 26.—The;Colleetors at Savannah andG&lves-
tou and the Surveyor and Naval officers at Wil
mington, have been reappointed.
Property in Slaves.—In reply to the N. York
Tribune's rant upon the subject of the recognition
of slaves as property by the Constitution, the New
York Express reminds its fanatical contemporary
that for a hundred and fifty years, all the Courts,
Federal and State, in the Northern commercial
States, have recognised slaves to he property.
There is not a manufacturer in Connecticut or
Massachusetts, who sells his products South, that
does not know slaves are often levied on as pro
perty there, nnd sold as often as property to collect
Yankee debts, if sued in the South. The treaty of
17*3 with Great Britain demanded payment for ab
ducted negroes as property. The treaty of I8J6,
of Ghent, ditto, ditto. John Quincey Adams is on
the record, recognising slaves, over and over again
to be property.
Territorial Governorship.—WASHINGTON, March
25.—The Governorship of Kansas lias been ten
dered to Robt. J. Walker and that of Utah to
Fayette McMullen.
Small Por in Warren.—The Augusta Chronicle is
informed, that there are ten eases of small pox in
Warren county, about eight miles from Warrenton.

In Albany, on the 27th of February, Mrs. Sarah
Elizabeth Warren, wife of L. P. D. Warren, Esq .
in the 22d year of her age. The name here an
nounced, she was permitted but a short while to
bear: she was better known as Bessie Hines—a
name which lives in the affections of many warm
admiring friends—a sweet enpbonism they loved
to pronounce. The intelligence of this event, so
sudden aud unexpected, has already plunged a
large circle of relatives and friends in the deepest
distress; it will be read with sorrow by many more.
Death never found a victim lovelier or more be
loved. I, who write these lines—who knew her
well—who am not. given to indiscriminate eulogy
of the dead—never connected with her by family
ties—expressing now no more than was the esti
mate of her worth when living, do declare, with
out consciousness of any influence of partial af
fection upon my judgment, that I have never
known a more gentle, lovely nature, a purer, holier
heart, combined with a finer intellect or larger at
tainments in one of her age. Highly educated,
with every facility for improvement—graduated at
an early age with the first honor in tlie Wesleyan
Female College, afterwards attending one of the
best institutions in the North ; thoughtful, indus
trious, conscientious in making the best use of all
these libera! opportunities—with a mind brilliant
and highly cultivated, she was yet humble, unpre
tending. and as completely in heart dedicated to
God as any youthful Christian it lias been my
privilege to know.
Sbe united with the Presbyterian Church in Ma
con, in 1853, but a year since transferred her mem
bership ro the Presbyterian Church in Albany,
where she was active and useful in the servic^of
her Saviour.
It is a truth full of comfort, that the qualities
which gave her character its chief loveliness, and
most endeared her to her friends, are those which
constitute meetness for the Kingdom of Heaven—
that, therefore, in proportion to tlieir loss is the
certainty of her present and everlasting blessed
ness.
She has left a deeply afflicted husband and a
babe, who sustains the heaviest loss in her remo
val, and have the sympathy cf many friends who
have been afflicted with them in this sad Provi
dence. R. L. B.
In Morgan county, Ga.. after an, illness of five
days, of Pneumonia. Mrs. Rebecca Palmer, nsed
fifty-seven years, five months and twenty-eight
days. She was born in Halifax county, Va., and
moved to this State with her mother and four
brothers about the year 1818. She united herself
to the Baptist Church about 1823; was kind and
affectionate and beloved by all who knew her.
She leaves a largo circle of friends and relatives
to mourn her loss
She died—yet Is not dead, as she lived confiding
in her Saviour.
Died in this city on Wednesday, the 25th inst.,
after a few days illness, in the 21st year of her
age. Miss Mary Ann Elizabeth Shepherd, eldest
daughter of Mrs. Lucinda Heirston, leaving a dis
consolate mother, brother and sister to lament
their irreparable loss.
Though but little known in this community,she
lias left a large circle of connexions and friends
at a distance, oil whom she bestowed her dying
benedictions, and to whom she sent the urgent
request that they would prepare to meet her in that
bi tter world, “where sorrowing and sighing are
not knjvwu,” “where the wicked eease from troub
ling and where tho weary are at rest.”
