Democratic ('onrrnlion—Butin of
It.prrue motion.
Some inquiry has been mad# through the Dcin-
(i ratio press, as to what “basis ot representation"
the approaching Democratic State Convention
would adopt.
The last Democratic Gubernatorial Convention
of the Democratic Party, adopted the basis agreed
upon by the Convention held July 11th, 1849, It
was this: “The Convention will vote according
t.. the old apportionment of members of the Legis-
—tluvffelegatioh^rom each county casting
Rmv vot^ire.. the county WBfitfed to under
pportionme-nt. Those Delegates representing,
other counties than those in which they reside,
will be entitled to cast the full number of votes for
those counties.”
While wc would not rule ont “proxies,” we do
hope every county in the State nill be directly rep
resented by some one or more of its own citizens."
The “proxy” system is hi most inexcusable ip
thcs e days of Railroads. « * •*.
Clone of (be Volume— A word vsilh our
I’airani.
The present issue of the Federal Union closes the
Twenty-Seventh Volume. Next week we enter
upon another volume with ev&y desire to make
yur Paper an interesting visitor to the Politician
and the general reader. We have made some im
provements in the typographical appearance of our
Paper within the last two years. We have already
added several columns to our paper since we put
,, j,, non- type, and have arranged to add two or
three columns more during the Summer. We shall
continue to make every improvement warranted
bv the support accorded to us. But to be enabled
to Jo this as we would like, those indebted to Us
must pav up promptly. Many of our subscribers
owe ns for six years—many fur two, three, four and
five years We have had to pay Cash for Paper,
Ink and Workmen, relying upon our patrons to
recompense us for our labor, our time, and our ex
penditures. Some have come up squarely to the
mark: others have failed entirely. What .we have
to say now to those indebted to ns, is, send np your
money ly the Delegates from vour«county who
will attend the Gubernatorial Convention in June.
We will wait upon them with pleasure, and re
ceipt their bills as fast as they are rendered.
This opportunity is a good one, and w e hope our
friends will avail themselves of it. If you do not
know how much your indebtedness amounts to,
send Fire or T>n dollars, and the credit will be
properly entered.

4. That in the judgment ot our committee, the
political aspects of slavery lie entirely without the
proper sphere of this Society, and cannot he dis-
• cussed in its publications: but that those moral
duties which grow out of the existence of slavery,
asAvell as those moral evils and vices which
it is known promote, and which are condemn
ed in Rcr.kdu^jyand so much deplored by
cvan<relical christiam'Mindoubtedly do fall within
the province of this Society, and can and ough:
to be disetftsed in a fraternal Chri^ian spirit.
q-fi-t whatever considerations in the past may
have seemed to recommend to the publishing
committee the course pursued in its revision of
certain v oiks, vet, in the.luture publication of
books and tracts, no alteration or omission of the
sentiments of :*v aifthor slionld be made; hut
works not adapted to ti e design of the Society in
their original form, or by a regular impartial
abridgement, should he wholly omitted.
Upon this action of the Society, the New York
tfourn^ of Commerce, one of the ablest and most
conservative of the Northern Journals, makes the
following comment:
“We have entire confidence in the wisdom and
moderation of the present Publishing Committee,
and are of the opinion tb it they will meddle w;tli
slavery as little as they feel themselves permitted
to do under the instruction embodied in the afore
said resolutions. One little circumstance limy be
mentioned here, as bearing upon this point, and
also as expressive ot the general "tone Oi the So
ciety, through its directors, viz; that in balloting
for the Publishing Company, an attempt was was
made to elect another gentleman in place ot
Rev. Nchemiah Adams. D. XT., of Boston, author
of the South Side View; it-was a signal failure —
He was re-elected by an overwhelming majority.
On the whole we advise our friends at the South
to withdraw no portion of their confidence tr im
this sBciety or*its tracts or colporteurs, until they
have some proctical evidence that its course of poll- ] an j
cy towards the South and its “peculiar institu-1 roJ f
tions,” is going to be changed for the worse. Our
opinion is, flat no Tract touching the subject of
slavery will be issued by the Society until is has
received life approbation of Christain men at the
South as well as at the North. The character of
the publishing Committee is a snffioient guarantee
that nothing will be done rashly or unkindly.

On Monday of last week, the FlojJ Rifles of
Macon, commanded by Capt. Thos. JHardeman,
passed up the Milledgeville & Eatontbn Road, on
i a visit to the Putnam Rifles, a youngjbut gallant
| corps of Eatonton Ga. They spent ieveral days
very pleasantly with their Eatonton friends, and
started home on Thursday last. Aa invitation
from the Baldwin Blues of this city wi» extended
to both companies to visit Milledgev lie on the
return of the Floyd Rifles. This the - accepted.
On Thursday morning the Baldwin Hues with
full numbers and looking exceedingWjveih Capt.
Rockwell in command, repaired to thfr Depot to
await the arrival of their guests. At eleven o’
clock, the iron horse came along freighted with
gallant gentlemen,and not a few ofPutntm county

ders here and elsewhere will be gratified to
learn, that the action of the Stockholders of the
Brunswick and Florida Railroad, at a meeting as

ders italmost certain that the Main Trunk Road
will he built. We are informed that they instruc
ted the Directory of the Brunswick and Florida
Railroad Company to make such a proposition to
the Directory of the Main Trunk, as would ensure
a speedy settlement of the differences between the
rival interests.
In compliance with these instructions, a pro
position was made to the effect that the initial point
of the Main Trunk should be located at or near the
line of the Brunswick and Florida Railroad, east of
Big Creek, in order to secure the State subscription.
At a meeting of those of the Main Trunk Directors
residing in this place, on yesterday, a resolution
was passed by them, recommending* to their Board
the acceptance of the conditions as passed by the
Brunswick and Florida Railroad Directory. No
thing now remains to he done, but to secure the re
quired release from the Brunswick and Florida
Railroad Company, and to arrange the details of
the settlement which it is thought will he surely
and speedily effected.
We congratulate all those who were Instrumen

magnificent rewards which the completion of this
great enterprise will accomplish in the furttire and

all men to beware of the snares set to cateh them
by designing women, and said that his wife's sister
was the cause of the situation which he was then
in, and spoke at considable length, at least until
the expiration of the time allowed him, when lie

Minnesota, the Maple Sugar Region.—
The extremely high price of sugar and
molasses has stimulated the settlers in
different portions of the territory to manu
facture large qualities of maple sugar.—
Although the season has been unpropitious,
owing to the frequent changes in the weath
er yet the quantity made largely exceeds
that of any previous year. A gentleman
who has every opportunity of acquiring
correct information informs us the amount
of sugar manufactured on the shores of
Lake Minnetanka, this spring, will exceed
10,0(J0 pounds, and that a large quantity
of molasses has* been turned out. We
presume there is no part of the continent
where the sugar maple abounds to the
same extent as in the neighborhood of this
beautiful lake.—St. Paul Pioneer.
Dr. C. T. Jackson, the eminent chemist
of Boston, denies that the sickness at the
National Hotel, at Washington, was occa

reliable medical evidence has yet been
adduced to prove that any one of the per
sons who were sick by this disease, had
taken any poisons of any kind into their
