In another column of this paper will be found a
sketch of the Constitution adopted by the Conven
tion that has just adjourned. The slavery clause
is to be submitted to all the bona fide white male
inhabitants over twenty-one years of age for their
approval or rejection. They will be required to
vote for the Constitution with slavery or constitu
tion icitltoul slavery, and if there is a majority for
the constitution icitlutut slavery it is made the duty
of General Calhoun, tlie President of the Conven
tion to strike out the clause admitting slavery.—
Thus the people of Kansas will decide for them
selves whether they will have slavery or not. We
believe the Convention has done well, and de
crees the gratitude of the whole country. But
there is a disposition in many to find fault. Al
ready many of tho Northern opposition papers,
with the National Intelligencer at their head, are
finding fault with the Convention, and prophesy
ing more evil about Kansas, But we hope better
things, We believe a majority of Congress will
admit Kansas, either with or without slavery, as a
majority of her inhabitants shall decide. This the
plain letter and spirit of tlie Kansas bill make their
duty, and we trust that the final result of this long
protracted controversy will show, that Kansas has
not been sold or bought, lost or betrayed, but that
her own people have decided and fixed their insti
tutions to suit themselves,
“Be vigilnnl nnd do nothing.”
This is the advice of tlie Savannah Republican to
its political friends, for the present. Put into plain
English, it will read thus : “Americans, you are in
a hopeless minority—you can’t do anything, even
if you would, and you should’nt, i: you could.
Let tl:e Democracy have it all their own way,
whatever be the consequeiAes ; but open not your
lips—da nothing. If the Democracy do right, yon
do nothing that will have the appearance of en
couraging them. If they come out of the battle
with the enemies of the South and the Union, vic
torious. be sure you da nothing to render the victo
ry more glorious or more lasting. If they fall be
fore the enemy’s charge, do nothing to make their
destruction less complete and sure. True, we are
‘Americans,’ but wc bad rather see the Sampsons
of Democracy buried beneath the ruins of our glo
rious fabric, than by helping to save tlie Union,
help to save Democracy.”
That is a fair interpretation of the Republican s
brief word of command to the Know Nothing
forces. It is just what might have been expected
of a party that lias done nothing since its birth,
but evil. It's course in Georgia has been more
moderate than in most other States oi the South ;
and its existence here is protracted in proportion
to its moderation. But even in Georgia, as an or
ganization, it has become so useless, that its Gen
erals have ngrecd to issue a proclamation, for all
hands to quit work and play. And this is about
the best thing they could do. If the Know Noth
ings will all agree to do nothing, then the do noth
ing party will be a far more useful party, than ever
was the Know Nothing.

atives for the hair that have been invented, Wood’s
pre-eminently claims the first place. It will cer
tainly restores tlie natural color of the hair, if the
directions are followed for a sufficient length of
time. It also has produced astonishing effects in
bringing out a growth of hair, where the head had
been previously bald. Wood does not pretend that
it will do this in all eases; and we think his caudor
is a recommendation of the virtues which his Res
torative really possess. If the roots of the hair
are destroyed, no human power can make them
grow again; but when there is any vitality left in
\he root, the restorative will soon renew the hair
in all its prestine vigor. It has done this respeat-
edly when all other remedies had failed. It is
therefore worth while in all cases to make the ex
periment. It has no rival—[West’n Pat.

Kasun aa4 the Administration-
The Kansas question at last approaches its final
solution. There is now a fair prospect that there
is to be an en 1 of this angry and alarming issue.
From the beginning to the present moment, the
Democratic party has stood firm and unmoved upon
the great principle of popular sovereignty. Onr
doctrine has been that the people of the South had
a constitutional right to go into Kansas with their
slave property ; and that no power could prevent
it, until the sovereign voice of the people could be
heard in the formation of their Constitution. 5V e
held that the question whether Kansas should be a
free or slave State, should be determined by the
people of Kansas for themselves; and that whilst
we of the South desired that she should be a slave
State, we did not desire to force slavery upon them
against their will. We demanded a fair and open
field for (he South. We sought no advantage, and
we would yield to no injustice- Upon tin se prin
ciples the Democracy ot the Sooth, have stood with
unfaltering confidence in their truth and justice.
The Kansas Con vent ion for the formation of their
State Constitution has met, and their action is be
fore us. Iu accordance with the principles which
we, in common with our democratic brethren of the
whole country have avowed, that Convention lias
formed a Constitution and submitted it for the de
cision of the people of Kansas; the only question
which caused any trouble or disturbance, was
whether Kansas shall be a free or slave State.
Shall the Convention be sustained in its course?
Upou this point there will be but one opinion among
Democrats; and it only remains for all true men
to unite heartily and cordially in support of their
action.
Iu this struggle through which the country is
called to pass as the closing scene in the Kansas
drama, it is to us a source of sincere gratification
to know that the Administration of Mr. Buchanan
is arrayed on tlie side of the Kansas Convention.
The President in his memorable letter to tlie New
England fanatics, boldly proclaimed the principles
which we are now defending; and said in plain
and unequivocal language that tho Constitution
gave to the people of tlie, South the right to go
into Kansas with their slave property. He then
and there declared that we should bo protected in
our rigbts, and that the people of Kansas should
be protected in the right of forming their own do
mestic institutions in their own way. In giving
the support and influence of his Administration to
the action of the Kansas Convention, and advoca
ting the admission of Kansas upon the terms pre
scribed by her own Convention, Mr. Buchanan
furnishes to the Country the highest evidence of
liis firm and patriotic purpose to stand by the priu-
ciples upon which he was elected.
As was to be expected, the whole abolition press
of the North is down upon him. The New York
Tribune, and Courier and Enquirer and all tlie rest,
are pouring upon him their bitter and malignant
denunciation. No language of abuse is strong
enough to give expression to their fiendish assaults.
With one voice they call upon the people of the
North to unite in opposition to the Administration.
They do not hesitate to charge that the President
lias been bought by the South, and some of them
go so far as to threaten blood and war. if needs be,
to defeat the Administration in sustaining the ac
tion of the Kansas Convention.
Under these circumstances the question arises,
what is the duty of the South to the Administration?
Democrats will find no difficulty in answering this
question. Though some distrust has been felt ou
account of the conduct of Gov. Walker, and though
they have felt that liis removal was required, yet
when au issue is presented where the united voice
of abolitionists and Black Republicans is arrayed
against tlie President because lie stands true and
firm in support of our Constitutional rights, we
hazard nothing iu saying that every democrat in
the South will rally to his support. With their
patriotic President they will breast the storm ot
fanaticism and defy tlie threats of the enemies of the
Constitute m. Let then the tried and ever faithful
Democracy of Georgia, bury all dissensions, if any
exist, in their ranks, and generously come forward
to sustain tiie President of their choice in the noble
fight in which he is now engaged. All the issues
made about Walker sink into notliingnessj when
put in the scale beside the present practical ques
tion of sustaining the President and the Kansas
Convention. Here is something tangible and prac
tical to take hold of; and both duty and princi
ple summon us to the post of danger and trial.
What say onr Know Nothing friends? Will
they still porsist in their warfare upon tlie admin
istration and the Democratic party? Let them
look upon the lield and weigh well the responsi
bility of their conduct before they act. It they
continue their war upon Mr. Buchanan now, their
allies will be the New \ ork Tribune and the Black
Republican cohorts who follow tlie lead of the
abolition philosopher Greeley. We envy them not
the alliance into which they are inevitably thrown
by continuing in their opposition to the Adminis
tration.
Kujw Nothing parties, would bo as much iu favor
of the former, upon the score of principle and ser
vices, as tlie new cent is superior to tlie old coppers
that filled our pockets when we were boys. If there
is any democrat who thinks differently, to him we
say, go; take your lantern and prepare your fag
gots; the light that you abstract from the democ
racy, by your downward flight, would’nt suffice to
discover your exit. When a party is found so im
maculate that the Know Nothings will find no fault
with it, the years of Time will have drawn so near
to the end, the people will not have an occasion to
pass upon its merits, particularly if the elections
are Bi-ennial.
Take Particular Notice!
Increase of Salaries.
Our friend Gen. Bethune, in tlie Corner Stone of
last week, makes a tierce descent upon several im
portant measures, pending in tlie present General
Assembly, We shall only notice at present, his
objections to tho bill of Col. Kenan, to increase the
Salaries of the Executive, the Judges of the Su
preme Court and the Judges ot the Superior Courts
The argument, if it can be so called, that the pre
sent salary is no barrier to m 'u ot talent and high
character who seek these offices. w T e replied to some
weeks ago. It is no barrier to men of talent and
character, provided they have big cotton planta
tions and liberal factors to draw upon. But says
the Corner Stone, these high salaries liave a ten
dency to create an aristocracy, and are absolutely
ruinous to poor men. If the duties and responsi
bility of the Executive and our Judges are so great
as to require only great talents and sound judgment
to bear them properly, it is but just and right that
the pay should be proportionate to the sacrafiec.
And the fact that competent men are found who
will assume tlie responsibility and perform the la
bor of ihese positions for nothing, is no reason why
tlie State should refuse to allow a salary to others.
The salary should be worth the labor and respon
sibility. A Governor and a Judge liave more at
stake in their respective administrations than tlie
honor of their positions. They have a reputation
good or bad to make as they excel or prove incom
petent. Not one family in ten says the Corner
Stone, iu this State, but can live on eighteen hun
dred dollars a year. But the Corner Stone should
remember that our Judges of tho Superior Courts
have to live on about twelve dr thirteen hundred,
if they depend on the uet earnings from the sala
ries; and there are great sacrifices a good lawyer
makes by quitting the Bar and going upon tlie
Bench; and as the State is the beneficiary in this
case, she should not hesitate to repay tho service.
But says Geu. Bethune* a high salary will ruin a
poor man; that bo will have no property to depend
on, and on bis high salary will live extravagantly - ,
but if lie gets a small one, everybody knowing him
to bo poor will expect him to live very plainly, and
hence the Governor on a salary of $3,000 a year
will come out of office with more money than one
who has received a salary of $ 10,0(10 a year. This
reasoning is too refined for us, and totally incon
sistent with eyery day - facts. Custom lias estab
lished certain laws, which are as binding as enact
ments on the Statute Book. One of these laws is
that a Governor of Georgia should maintain the
dignity of bis office. He must do this, or suffer in
the public estimation, and we don’t think there is a
man in Georgia, who would sooner rap the Govern
or, for niggardiiess, than Gen. Bctbune; prorit/erf,
perhaps, the Georgia Legislature didn’t happen to
commend him for it; then we think the General
would take the other horn.
But in all seriousness, we do hope the bill of Mr.
Kenan will pass Georgia now, is not what she
was ten or twenty years ago. Old clothes won t
last always; and in this particular, we think a
change justifiable aud wholesome.
Never fealiafied.
It is never to be expected that Mr. Buchanan,
or the Democratic Party of the country, could sat
isfy the full demands of the Know Nothing mal
contents. It is to be hoped they will do nothing
to please their enemies. If Mr. Buchanan had no
faults, they would find faults in him, if they hal
to manufacture them to order. They pretend to
be much hurt that tlie Democracy should sustain
Mr. Buchanan, while he fails to recall Gov. Walk
er. They forget, however, that they sustained
Mr. Ben Hill, who did and said harder tilings
against the South’s interests in Kansas than Walk
er has ever said or done. If Buchanan is a traitor,
and Walker a traitor, wliat must be said of those
men in Georgia who voted to give, the South no
chance at all in Kansas? Which is the traitor?
The Democratic Party could give the Know
Nothings all the political capital they'claim on ac
count of Walker's conduct, in Kansas; and then
the difference between the Democratic and the
Lunatic Asylum.
The Report of the Trustees, Resident Physician
and Superintendent of our State Lunatic Asylum,
for tlie years 1856 and 1857, lias been laid upon
our table. It exhibits this noble public charity in
a most prosperous and successful light. It is true
the additional improvements authorized by the
Commissioners, have not been entirely consumma
ted ; but they have reached very near a state of
completion and perfection. With the appropria
tions asked for in tlie Report before ns, the Luna
tic. Asvlnm of Georgia will, in a few months, be
come one of the handsomest, as it is one of the
best managed, institutions of that character in the
country. It is a noble edifice. True it has cost
the State many thousands of dollars; but it is au
expenditure for an object which no true hearted
Georgian, no friend of humanity, can contemplate
with any other feelings than those of pride and joy.
With such an Institution in our midst, so well
adapted to the purposes of its creation, and fulfill
ing, in so great a measure, the high expectations
of its patriotic and philanthropic founders, no citi
zen of the State will hang liis head for shame,
when a comparison is sought to be made of bis
own public charities with those of the ablest and
wealthiest States of the Union.
This Institution has labored under great disad
vantages ever since it first wont into operation.
Originally it was an unfit place for that class of
patients who were able aud willing to pay for the
advantages of a good Institution. It was too
small, it was conducted ou too small and parsimo
nious a scale; and too much credit cannot be awar
ded the energetic and efficient Resident Physician,
Dr. Green, for his long and arduous labors to place
the Institution ou a footing of equality with tho^e
of other, and even neighboring, States. His la
bors have not been confined to the immediate de
partments for which he was chosen, but have been
exerted upon every other department connected
with the Institution. Ho has had his eye upon
every movement, and liis baud upon every opera
tion of the whole concern, from the treatment of
the most complicated cases of mental derangement,
down to the minutest item of mechanical labor.
He has been truly a Superintendent, and even
more than that; he has been a laborer, untiring
and faithful. lie deserves the thanks of the peo
ple of Georgia, for tho devoted attentiou ho hai
bestowed upon this noble public charity. It is but
an uf L of justice that his salary should be increased
to a sum equal to the care, responsibility and la
bor incumbent upon him.
For the many admirable arrangements of the
now building, the public is indebted to Mr. Calvin
Fay, the skillful Architect employed by the Build
ing Commissioners. He has superintended his
department with great faithfulness, aud with the
fullest success. To his skill, as well as to the mu
nificence of the State, this splendid edifice will be
an enduring monument.
The Commissioners of the Asylum, appointed
by the Governor, deserve to be well paid for their
labor. They have, as yet, got nothing for their
time and labor. Let them be paid, as Gov. John
son recommended in liis Message. They deserve
ail they will receive.
We have not tlie space or the time to give a de
scription of the Asylum, as it now stands. We
have promised to do so, at a future day. And
when it is known how magnificent and complete
an Institution our State Asylum is, there will not
be found a true hearted man iu Georgia who will
regret he ever paid a part of his taxes to build it.
The present Legislature must see that the work
is speedily consummated. Hundreds must remain
without proper care and medical treatment, until
the present improvements are completed. With
tlie small additional appropriations asked for, (and
they will bo seen to be necessary by a perusal of
the Report before us,) this great public work will
be completed in a few months, and upon a scale
both useful and ornamental. Every member of

A Hold Assertion.
In the Savannah Republican of the 21th ult., under
the editorial head, we find the following statement:
“We saw from the beginning, and proclaimed the
great truth to the freemen of the South, that the inter
ests of non-intervention and the Democratic party lay
in very different directions, and that to preserve the
latter, the former must be sacrificed. The sequel has
consummated the truth of the prophecy.”
The non-intervention of which the Republican here
speaks, related entirely to the subject of slavery in
Kansas. It is on that subject that he says non-inter
vention has been sacrificed. The Kansas Convention,
before they adjourned, formed a Constitution recogni
sing slavery, but submitted that clause recognising
slavery to all the inhabitants of Kansas, to decide
whether they would have slavery or not. This is non
intervention in spirit and iu the letter, in form and in
substance, and we cannot conceive of any other plan
by which non-intervention could be so completely car
ried out, as that adopted by the Convention, and the
man who, with the Kansas Constitution before him,
can say that ,11011-intervention lias been sacrificed, is a
bold man. lie has dared to set public opinion and
common sense at dufiance. The Kansas Constitution
is a fixed fact, nnd if its provisions are faithfully carried
out, it will be a complete exemplification of non-inter
vention on the subject of slavery in ICansdS, which no
amount of sophistry or bold assertion can successfully
controvert.
Crime in New York.—The Tribune of Friday,
says: We are this morning again obliged to surren
der a large portion of our paper to the details of the
fearful crimes which are running over the city like
some terrible pestilence. Three persons were
slashed and hacked with knives at a low den in
Walter street yesterday morning; one died imme
diately, and the other two are scarcely alive. A
man in tic - Bowery was stabbed by ruffians while
defending liis own premises. The young man
shot a few days since in Canal srreet, died at the
Hospiial yesterday morning. In the upper part of
the city, three or four ruffians dragged a young
girl into a lumber yard, imitated the murderous
hounds who killed the poor old German woman in
Greenwich-st., and left their victim for dead. A
woman stabbed by a burglar aud a highway rob
bery complete the “Bloody Record,” so far as New
York City is concerned, for this day only. In the
now old and stale mnrder which took place in Wil
liam street us long as Tuesday night, nothing new
has been developed, except that a son of the vic
tim is held to bail upon some slight suspicions.
The Lost Seen of Gen. J. Hamilton.—Regarding
the disaster which caused tho loss of tho above
worthy gentleman, the New Orleans Crescent, of
the 19th mst., says: Iu regard to the loss of Gen.
Hamilton. Mr. Wood states that a rescued lady
passenger told him that as she was leaving the
cabin, just before the ship sunk an elderly gentle
man came out of a state-room with a life preserver
in his hand and begged her to help him to put it on
as one of his hands was crooked and useless. She
replied that she had her child to look after, and
could not stop. He then said, “Go, madam for
God's sake, and save yourself and child.” From
the description the lady gave of tho old man, Mr.
Wood is confident it was the General, and that tlie
words addressed by him to the lady were liis last
on earth.
