Houston; Bussell Rencati, of DeKalb; W. S.
Norman, of Monroo; E. Cain, of Cobb.
Tho committee reported the following rea-
oluslons, which take tho only true and salb
ground for tho South, and which, so far as
they rclato to tho Compromlso and tho oourso
to bo pursued in the Whig National Convcn
tlon, correspond almost to tho letter with the
views sot forth In tho Republican on Tuesday
last:
Resolved, That wo re-adlrm tho principles
ombraccd In tho Preamble and Resolutions of
tho Georgia Convention of 1850.
Resolved, That wo send thirty Delegates to
tho National Whig Convention, with power to
fill their own vacancies.
Resolved, That the safety and honor of the
8outh and tho Integrity oftho Union are dear
er to us than the triumph of any party, or tho
, success of any Candidate, and therefore wo
Instruct our Delegates, to Insist upon a recog
nition of the Compromlso measures, by the
National Whig Convention, or a fhll and final
settlement of all tho questions therein embra
ced, and to make such recognitiou a condition
precedent, to any part'clpation by them in tho
nominations of said Convention.
Resolved, That Millard Fillmore for the
ability, impartiality and patriotism manifest
ed by him In his administration of thu Gene
ral Government, doserves tho confidence of
the whole country; ho has been tried and
fbund fhlthfkl to tho Constitution and tho su
premacy of tho Law; faithful to the preser
vation of tho Union, and to tho Constitutional
rights of the South, and we hesltato not to
avow our preference for him over all other
candidates. t
Resolved, That wo have entire confidence
In Daniel Webster, and while wo profoundly
admire his vast and stupendous Intellect, wo
cherish the warmest feelings of gratitude to
him for his eminently able and uncompromls-
jQ|d«fence of the Constitution and tho rights
Resolved, That our hearts are In the sick

brilliant and patriotic public services,

For the State at Large.
Hon. Wra.C. Dae son, Hob. Seaton Grant-
land, Charles J. Jenkins, Millor Grlevo, Josh-
wa Hill, Robert V. Hardeman, Anthony Por-
der, Judgo Fleming, Joseph Fay, Robert P.
Trippe, Washington Poo, Thomas Flewellon,
most rigid economy in conducting our publlo
affairs, and that no more rtvenuo ought to bo
raised than Is required to defray the necessa
ry expenses of the government, und for thp
gradual but certain extinction of the public
debt
0. That Congress has no powor to charter
a national bank; that wo bolleyo such an In
stitution one of deadly hostility to the best
interests of the country, dangerous to our- re-
publican Institutions and the liberties of the
people, and calculated to place tbe business
ofthe country within the control of a concen
trated money power, and above tho laws and
the will of the peoplo; and that tho results
of democratic legislation, in this and all other
financial measures npon which issues have
been made between the two political pantos
of the country, have demonstrated to candid
and practical men of all parties, their sound
ness, safety and utility In all business pursuits.
7. That the separation of the moneys of tho
government from banking Institutions is In-
dospensible for the safety of the funds of the
government and tho rights of tho people.
8. That tho liberal principles embodied by
Jeffersor; In tho Declaration of Independence,
and sanctioned In the Constitution, which
makes ours the land of liberty, and tho asy
lum of tho oppressed of ovory nation, liavo
ever boon cardinal principles in the Demo
cratic faith; and every nttempt to abridge tho
present privileges of becoming citizens and
the owners of soil among us, ought to bo re
sisted with tho same spirit which swept the
alien and sedition laws from our statuto books.
0. That Congress has no power under the
Constitution to Interfere with or control tho
domestic Institutions of tho several States,
and that such Stales are tho sole and proper
Judges of everything appertaining to their own
afiklrs, not prohibited by the constitution;
that all efforts of tho abolitionists or others
trade to induco Congress to Interfere with
questions ofslavery, or to take incipient steps
In relation thereto, are calculated to lead to
the most alarming and dangerous consequen
ces ; and that all such effurts have un inevi
table tendency to diminish the happiness of
the people, and endanger tho stability and
permanency of the Union and ought not to
ba countenanced by uny friend of our political
Institutions.
Resolved, That tho foregoing proposition
cavers and was Intended tocmbraco tho whole
subject ofslavery agitation in Congress, and
AtM.mO-5- squa.IUnuM.Milo Itarlq of llm Union,
abide by and adhere to tho laithlbl execution
of the acta known as tho compromise mea
sures, settled by tho last Congress—tho act
fur tho reclaiming of fugitives from scrvico or
labor Included, wh Ich act, being designed to
curry out an express provision of the Consti
tution, cannot, with fidelity thereto, bo re
pealed or so changed as .to destroy or impair
Its efficiency.
Resolved, Thnt the Democratic party will
resist all attempts at renewing In Congress or
out of ft, tho agitation of thu Slavery ques
tion, under whatever shape or color tho at
tempt may bo made.
Resolved, That tho proceeds of tho public
lands ought to bo saorcdly applied to thu na
tional objects specified In thu Constitution,
and that we are opposed to any law for thu
distribution ofsucli proceeds amongthe Slates,
as alike Inexpedient In policy and repugnant
to tho Constitution,
Rrsolved, That wo are decidedly opposed
to taking from the President tho qualified
to feel, by the dangers that so recently threat
ened the commonwealtb, that they are one,
and-th'oro ls now, besides, a closer approxima
tion of opinion between the two great parties
than ever heretofore. Wo believe that any
nomination having but tho . appearance of a
partisan character, will bo distasteful to them,
and such we think Is the feet In the present
Instanco. Democrats throughout the coun
try havo watched with Interest and prldo the
course ofthe national men of their party In
the recent crisis, and tho candidato for tho
Presidency whom they would havo selected
In tlioir prlvnto capacity, would doubtless
have been somo ono whose name and politi
cal history had pervaded the land and be
come fiimiliar everywhere; they will doubt
less fuel that politicians have ruled at Balti
more, and not the penpto, when they learn
that such a man as Dickinson of New-York
received but ono vote.
In ordinary times, a nomination for the
Presidency unmarked by any special dis
tinction might be excused by tho people, but
so recently after a season of real danger to
tho Republic, they will bo disposed to demand
of tho conventions of both parties, the selec
tion of men already known to them by noble
deed, and not yet to bo Introduced to their
particular acquaintance by the press and the
politicians. Wo ferankly confess that, as poli
ticians, wo are very well pleased with tho no
minations ofthe Democratic Convention ; our
chief objection is that, in our hmnblu opinion,
proper deferenco has not been paid to the
popular will; at least In the Presidential nom-
iuatlou. We shall too.—Tuscaloosa Monitor.

' Resolutions of tho Democratic National
Convention.
Tho following resolutions, embracing tho
platform of 1844-48, and others rulating to
tho Compromlso, &c., were -adopted by the
late Democratic National Convention at Balti
more, with hardly a dissenting volco, and
without debate:
Resolved, That the American democracy
place their trust in tho intelligence, tho patri
otism, and tho discriminating justice of the
American peoplo.
Resolved, That wo regard this as a distinct
ive feature of our political creed, which wo are
proud to maintain before thu world, as the
great moral clement In a form of government,
springing from and upheld by tho popular
will; and wo contrast it with the creed nnd
practice of federalism, under whatever namo
or form, which seeks to palsy the will of tho
constituent, and which conceives no imposture
too monstrous for tho popular credulity.
Resolved, therefore, That, entertaluing theso
views, the democratic party of this Union,
through their delegates assembled In a gene
ral convention of ibo States, coming together
In a spirit of concord, of devotion to tho doc
trines and faith of a free representative gov
ernment, and appealing to tlielr fellow-oitl-
xena for the rectitude of their intentions, re
new and re-assort, before tho American peo
ple, tho declaration of principles avowed by
them, when, on former occasions, In general
convention, they presented their candidates
for the popular suffrages:
1. That tho federal government Is one of
limited powers, derived solely from tho con
stitution, and the grants of power mado there
in onght to be strictly construed by all tho
departments and agents of tho government;
and that it is inexpedient and dangerous to
exercise doubtful constitutional powers.
2. That tho constitution docs not confer np
on tho general government the power to com
mence and carFy on a general system of in
ternal improvements.
8. That the constitution docs not confer au
thority upon the federal government, directly
or Indirectly, to assume tbe debs ofthe seve-
Statcs, contracted for internal improve
: other Stato purposes; nor would
i be Just and expedient,
sand sound policy forbid the
Dt to foster one branch of in-
of any othor, or to
i of one portion to the in
i of oUr common conn-
, and every section of
it to demand and insist
his and privileges, and
t protection of persons
|lc violence or for-
t of
guard tho public Interest, to suspend
tho possngo of a bill whoso merits cannot so-
cure thonpprovnl ol two-thirds ofthe Senate
and House of Representatives until thu judg-
ment of tho peoplo can bo obtained thereon,
and which has saved tho American people
from tho corrupt and tyrannical domination
ofthe bank of tho United States, and from a
corrupting system ofgenoral lutornul Improve
ments.
Resolved, That tho Democratic party will
faithfully abldo by and uphold tho principles
laid down In tho Kentucky and Virginia reso
lutions of 1788, and in tho report of Mr. Mad
ison to tho Virginia legislature In 1709; that
It adopts those principles as constituting ono
of tho main foundations of its political creed,
and is resolved to carry them out In tlielr ob
vious meaning and import.
Resolved, That tho War with Mexico, upon
all the principles of patriotism and the laws
of nations, wus a just nnd necessary war on
our ;uirt, In which ovory American citizen
should havo shown himself .on the side of h|s
country, and neither morally or physically,
by word or doed, havo given aid and comfort
to the enemy.
Resolved. That wo rejoice at the restoration
or friendly relations with our sister Republlo
of Mexico, nnd earnestly desire for her all
tho blessings and prosperity which wo enjoy
under Republican institutions, and wo con
gratulate tho American people upon tho re
sults of that war, which havo so manifestly
justified the policy and conduct ofthe Demo
cratic party, nnd insured to the United States
"Indemnity for tho past and security for the
future."
Resolved, That In vlow ofthe condition of
popular institutions In tho old world, a high
and sacred duty is dovolvod with increased
responsibility upon tho Democratic party of
this country as a party of the peoplo, to up
hold nnd maintuiu tho rights of every Statu,
and thereby the union of tho States, and to
sustain and advanco among us constitutional
liberty, by continuing to resist all monopolies,
and exclusive legislation for thu benefit of tho
few at thooxponso of the many, and by a vi
gilant and constant adherence to those prin
ciples and compromises of the constitution,
which are broad enough and strong enough
to embrace and uphold the Union ns It is, nnd
tho Union as it shall be, in the full expansion
of the energies and capacities of this great and
progressive people.
Nominations'of tho Democratic Convention
The Democratic Convention at Baltimore
has consummated its labors by the nomina
tion of Gen. Franklin Pierce of New-llnmp-
shirofor tho Presidency, and Col. William R.
King of this State for the Vice Presidency.—*
Tbe nomination of Gen. Pierce was made on
the 5th Instant; after a large number of bal
loting!), and Col. King was nomiuuted on tho
second balloting.
The final vole for those gentlemen was of
course without dissent, but that usage has be
come so common as to be without special
significance ; it is but a sure evidence of good
party drill.
In these days of conventionality, no one can
be sure that the Democratic delegates to Bal
timore havo even pleased -themselves; the
great question to be decided, is, whetbor they
have pleased that portion of thu peoplo
whom they undertook to represent. Tbe
ictimes decide very differently
From the Marietta Union.
Tho Union Party of Georgia.
Now that the national democratic party
has announced Its candidates and Its princi
ples, It is time to recur to our own organiza
tion, and the obligation resting upou tho
Union Stato convention to assemblo "after
the national conventions shall havo made
tlielr nominations." Tho courso of tho U-
nion Party, in tills Presidential canvass will
be determined by our convention, favorably
to those candidates and that party, most
nearly Identified with tho Georgia Platform.
It will nnmlnato our electorial ticket, nnd we
will vote, nut under old party names, but as
> Constitutional Union men. Under this name,
significant nliko. of tho Union of tho 8tates
nnd thu Rights ofthe States, wo havo girl
's rilfi llalttl 1611 hi *tfib Soilth anil, through tl
democratic convention, over tho designs of
frecsollism at the North. It remains for us
to perfect this triumph In a national popular
election, to consuinatu the nationality of our
prlncl|les. It matters not what may be the
name of tho national jsarty through which
tills result Is accomplished. If tho word demo
cracy Is tnado to signity the principles of thu
Constitutional Union parly, the peo do of
other Slates may bu allowed thu privilege of
culling themselves democrats, while no ex
ception can bu tuken to thu name which we
prefer ns designating the national Constitu
tional Union Party.
Tho Platform of tho Baltimore Convention
contains the resolutions of the platform of
1844. No exception in thu South will bo ta
ken to theso. If they or any of them, are
disturbed, It will not bo by the South, but by
Mr. Buchunau's tariff friends In Pennsylvania,
and by thu demooratie internal improvement
men of thu West. Tho South will op|K>so

other resolutions in thu platform of vital in-
terest to the South, upon which wo have
feuglit the ba'tlo of the Union for two years,
und upon which wo liavo saved it from disso
lution. Theso resolutions approvo decided
ly of tho Compromlso measure, as having
been fair, liberal and wise Including tho Aigi-
tivu slave act, and denouuco any attumpt,
whether from freosollers or Southern rights
mon, to repeal or disturb any part of these
measures. What more could bo asked by
Union men. The Southern Rights party in
the Nashville Convention, recommended a
Southern Congress to resist and overthrow
tho compromise. It met in Georgia and de
clared that we hail beun deprived by high
hand of our rights and that the compromise
had degraded us from our equality in the
Union. Throughout tho State our Georgia
platform—that platform which tho national
democratic party has emphatically pronounc
ed its own, wus denounced as an net of base
submission. Now it is incorporated in tho
creed ofthe National democratic party, and
thousands of resistance men urged by the
love of plunder, will applaud principles in
Pjkroe and .Kino, which they declared Infa
mous when advocated by Cobb and Foote.—
There is but ono inode of explaining such
conduct. It does not flow from patriotism or
asonsoof public duty—but from interests of
a (hr more sordid nature.
Our triumph, so far, is glorious. Wo havo
but to await the action of the other conven
tion and tho assembling of our State Conven
tion to establish our principles upon a nation
al basis.

This gentleman having received the nomina
tion of one of the great political parties of the
country for the highest offico kuown to our
laws, Ills namo is destined to take a prominent
place In tho political history ofthe Republic.
For tho second tlmoliVthe progress of a govern
ment, originated and'carrled on by the will of
the people, the sovereign freemen of this Un
ion are called on to bestow tho highest honors
in tlielr gift, and to commit tho destiny ofthe
country, to thu hands of ono tu them unknown,
and undistinguished In the past history ofthe
country. There Is no evidence upon record
that Mr. Pierce was the choice of a single
Slate, yet it ii proposed to make him thu
chief magistrate of this entire, and vast Con
federacy of States. B" far as we have seen
! no popular assemblage, however small, from
Maine to Texas, has intimated Ills nnmu in
connection with tho Presidency, and yet, lie
Is to bo the ruler and governor over til the
people.
Wo havo nothing to say against the fitness,
in any respect, of Mr. Pierce for the honor
and responsibility sought to lie conferred up-
oil him. He may be marvellous pro|ier man,
and possessed of all requisite wisdom nnd
integrity for the high office so far as we know,
but it Is the manner of his nomination and his
nomination at all, under existing circumstan
ces, against which, as. an Independent free
man, wo enter oui solemn protest. Wo can
not otherwise regard it than as a fraud upon
the people, and an outrage upon popular

The Baltimore Nomination.
The reader will observe by our telegraphic
despatches, that Gen. Franklin Pierce, of
Now Hampshire, hat been nooitnated as tho
Democratic candidate far thu Presidency, and
Hon. Wm. R. Kino, of Alabama, for the Vico
Presidency, and that the Convention adopted
as a platform the resolutions of 1844 and the
compromise measures of I860. It will be seen
also, that Gen. Pierce was very much surpris
ed when he heard of his nomination. In this
respect he is like tho rest of the people of thu
United States; for wo doubt whether there is
a man within its broad limits who will pot be
equally surprised wliun he hears of It.
We know but little of Gen. Pierce, and can
therefore say but little. Hu was once a mem-
bur ofthe United States Senate, as many an
other man has been bufbre him. His position
in that body was simply ros|ieclab!u. During
thu Mexican war, und whilu In the 8enatu, lie
was appointed by Mr. Polk a Brigadier Gen
oral. Of bis career as an officur, wo know
nothing except that he was present at the
capture of the city of Mexico. Unfortunately
he was not wounded in any of the engage
ments tn which he took part. He is said to
be descended from good stock, his ancestors
having pluyed an honorablu part In the Revo
lution. His father, at one time Govornor of
New Hampshire, left only two sons—tho one
of whom we s|ieak and an elder brother, who
partlel|iatod in the war of 1812 and bulunged
to thu regular army. This brother died some
years ago in Mobile.
We regret that Mr. Buchanan, or some
Ollier well known and acknowledged states-
not nominated Gen. Pierce Is un

Conn. Hu was in Ills 09th year. About a
week beloro his decease, ids guivn caught fire
while sitting alone in his room and before it
was extinguished, his hand was badly burned.
The injury and excitement consequent upon

Nott had been settled iu the imrisli more than
seventy years and was probably tlie oldest
of a parish in New England, or perlia|is In tlie
United States.
Our contempoary, the Windham Comity
Telegraph, writes that Dr. Nott lias for many
years been an object of attention, as tlie oldest
clergyman in tlie State. As a imin lie was
