If the South would keep the advantages ga'.ned
by the election of Mr. Buchanan, she has but to
stand “serene and resolute and still.” We agree
with our contemporary ot “The South” in this
opinion.
“A spirit of calm, stern, and settled dotermina-1
lion has usurped the place of declamatory invec
tive and puerile bravado, and she stands, sublime
:n moral dignity and conscious rectitude, “serene
and resolute and still,’’ prepared 10 meet the issue, j
which, however she mav deprecate, she does not |
fear.” j
The South has nothing to gain by imitating the j
example of her vile traducers. Give them rope :
and they will soon hang themselves. The last
Leg : s!ature of New York, by its ultra niggrrism,
if we may so express ourselves, has done more
real damage to Black Republicanism, than an in
dignant South could ever have indicted upon it,
though her editors and her orators thundered
hurtling anathemas on their treasonable designs,
every day ia the year, and every hour in the day.
The South can afford to rest awhile. She has al-
ready suffered much from the harrassmeuts of the
enemy. Her position is. indeed, “sublime in
moral dignity,” and if her political leaders will
only keep coo!—be patient, “serene and resolute
and still,” the fangless adders of Abolition will
soon exhaust their strength in fighting the air. In
New York the leading Divines have taken their
names off the roll of the “Young men’s Christian
association,” because a majority of its members
disclosed a purpose to make it a tool of Abolition
ism. All over the North we shall continue tos'-e
these indications of dissatisfaction and disgust a'
the designs of the is mattes', and if the South is pru-
I dent and reserves all her strength, “prepared to

Our Georgia friends who were so fortunate as to

Mr Atlantic, returned last week “right side tip,”

:, itic Meeting of Baldw in county published in
eur issue tiiis week,ii will be seen that the Dele,
pates to the Gubernatorial Convention were em
powered to meet the delegates from the other
counties of this District, and nominate a Candi
date for Congress. We hope our Democratic
friends throughout this district will remember that
it lias been proposed, that the duty of selecting a
candidate for Congress in this District shall be
performed at the same time and place, and hv the
same delegates chosen to nominate a candidate
f..r Governor. We have heard of no objection to
this proposition and tlmrefore conclude it meets
with general approbation. It is the imperative
duty of the voters of this District to send a mem
ber to Congress that will give a hearty and effi-
, i.'nt support to the present National Administra
tion. We have the power to do it, the country ex-
p ets it of us, and we must do it. As wc- said on
a foimer occasion, personally we respect and like
Col. Foster; he is in ail his private relations, a
v rv clever and good fellow; but politically he is
lound in had company, and the fate of poor Tray
nwaits line: we hope the time will come when he
will he associated politically with better men.
■\Yc want men in Congress that will vote right;
that will sustain the friends of the South and not
those who will give aid and comfort to the North
ern Know Nothings, who are the allies and asso-
ciit; *, and ill many respects the twin brothers of
the Black Republicans.
The True Policy.
We have very tittle hope of changing the policy
of onr “American” friends, by anything we may
now snv, iu reference to the duty of Southern men
/ to give Mr. Buchanan's Administration an undi
vided support, because their leaders and presses
Lave already sounded the call to arms, and are ma- on ,ll< ‘ Know Nothing side ’ onft of the Democrats
do not counsel submission to outrage, hut let us
he sure we do not by our imprudence iuvite it,
and thus deprive our own cause of much of its
“sublime moral dignity.” The South has more
formidable enemies iu her own bosom than she
has in Massachii.-etts Let the tree of SOUTHERN
Rights, he kept free from the political insects that
feed upon its vital juices, and the thtindeis of
Abolition, away off in Massachusetts, will never
shake tts firm foundations, or mar the beauty of
its fair proportions. The political horse leeches,
with their eternal “give, give, give,”—who live
in the atmosphere of compromise, and cannot
draw a breath w ithout it, are more to be feared
than an army of Beechers and Sumners, albeit they
come in all the “pomp and circumstance of glori
ous War.” If ever the South has her Sampson
locks shorn, it will be done by the hands of the
honey-tongued Delilahs and the “exceeding hon
est ' Iagos amongst us.
Anierit-iiii < for Rovmior.
Our Know Nothing brothers of the quill, have
paraded in their columns, with much glee, the
number of geutlemen, suggested for the Drnno-
cratic nomination for Governor. A long list to be
sure; but let us see if there are not a good many
Know Nothing Statesmen, on the wild hunt ? A
few occur to tts now: They are, Dr. II. V. M.
.Miller, Judge Trippe, “Our Beil,” “Our Rause,
our own Rause,” Gen. Sanford, Judge Baxter,
Col. Milhdge. These are not all; but taking
into consideration, the fact that neither of them
stands any more chance to be the next Governor
of Georgia, than Fillmore did to be President,
and it occurs to us, that the aspirants are astonish'
inglv numerous. There is one difference in the mat
ter, that makes up for the deficiency of candidates
l ing active preparations to give the supporters of
Mr. Buchanan’s Administration, iu this State, the
,*tningest opposition they will he able to make.
We will not say that this is wrong; but we will
say it is unwise—palpably so. The opposition to
iIk National Administration, at the North, comes
from the most violent and fanatical portion of the
people in that section—the old enemies of the “pe
culiar institution” of the South, and the avowed
advocates of a higher la .v than the Constitution.
That opposition, divided as it may be on local and
social issues, is a unit in its opposition to the Na
tional Administration. This one fact,, of itself,
should make our “American” or Knew Nothing
friends insGeorgia, hesitate before arraying them-
t Ives against the supporters of Mr. Buchanan’s
administration. It will be pointedly asked, on
w hat grounds can a Southern party justify its po
sition of antagonism to a National Administration,
w hich daily and hourly receives the maledictions
ofall the anti-slavery elements at the North ? How
named, will be the next Governor; neither of the
K. N's named can be. Which had our Know
Nothing friends rather have—the long list with
the Governor, or the short one without 1 We sub
mit that question to our neighbor of the Recorder,
as a companion to his thoughts not likely to be so
obstreperous as liis bed-fellow during a certain
County Court a few miles below.
