THE COUNTEYMA N. Emancipation for Recognition. — We bad read, and heard it before, but were surprised to hear one of the speaker* at the citizens’ meeting, a few evenings since, enunciate the doc trine of emancipation, as best calcu lated to gain us favor in the, eyes of the ruling powers of the world. To him, and those who entertain such fallacious hopes, we commend the reading of the article, in another col umn, from the London Times. The English have their Exeter Hall fanatics, and hold their anti slavery mass meetings, and we may say that the sentiment of the nation is as rank abolition as the New Eng land States ; but we have to deal wi h a government. Governments have no soul—no sentiment. England will continue to act from a selfish policy, alone. It is to her interest that the old union remain dissolved. But it is also to her interest that the labor sys tem of the confederacy I’emain unim paired. To offer her emancipation,in favor of recognition, may suit the rabble, but not the government. She is now drawing deep into the national purse, to feed her cotton paupers, on ly biding her time to see two govern ments established here. But her in terests demand the security of our cotton labor institutions. The Times may speak for England, but goes out of its province to speak for France. The last named is not abolitionized, and the Emperor’s poli cy is beyond the ken of English miud. To us, it is plain that Louis Napoleon is not only favorable, per sonally, to our cause, but his interests also demand our success, with our jnost yjtal institution. What would be the character of the Confederate States, with her labor system abolish ed 1 The answer is found in the his tory of San Domingo. The Confed erate States would be powerless to af ford protection to Maximilian, and his dominions, against the yankee inva der—in short, would be hut a map of woe, and desolation.—Selma Dis patch. •t The Boston papers are in a flatter, in consequence of the revelations of hospitalities to Mr. Pollard, in that city, an acpount of which was pub lished in yesterday morning’s Tri bune. The Boston Journal says the f traitors ’ are democrats, and Mc Clellan men.” •f ‘I mean to abandon my habits of life,’ said a dissipated gentleman. ♦Are yop sure, sir, that they are not aba ndoned epougb, already V ” ging his own grave—for it is appar ent that he has seized the opportuni ties for discontent, within Georgia, to give expression to the angry, and, we must say, unmanly impulses of his heart; and we shall not bt sur prised if the loyal people of the state crush him into insignificance. His recommendation to the other states, will be, as it ought to be, treated with contempt. It is only a proposition for single state action, and which every one supposed was annihilated by the treatment of our late peace commissioners. Perhaps, however, Gov. Brown’s message was prepared prior to the delivery of Mr. Line dn’s ultimatum ; or he is so join ed to his peculiar idols, that even a messenger from heaven could not raise him up to a magnanimity whifth could forget, in the emergency of the present, the personal prejudices bf the past.—■Mobile Tribune. Gen. Johnston.—“On the subject of the appointment of Gen. Lee, as Commander-in-chief, and of the re storation of Gen. J. E. Johnston, we have the following testimony from an enemy—the Louisville Journal : We confess that, as friends of the federal cause, we should be glad to see both the resolution in regard to Lee, and that in regard to Johnston, disregaided by the executive power of the confederacy. Next to Lee, he is esteemed, and no doubt justly, the greatest’general in the confedera cy. He is prudent, brave, and capa ble of comprehensive, and far reach ing plans. With such a force at his command as he had when he was su perseded, he might give us great trouble. Still, if he had been, or shall be reappointed, we may reason ably cheerish a strong trust that the army, so badly shattered in his ab sence, can never, in the present ad verse condition of the confederacy, become formidable again. And at any rate, we may feel that the calm, and stern old war-giant, Thomas, is a match for anybody. The wave, how ever huge, that dashes against him, will probably become foam. The confederate forces have certainly con templated an invasion of Kentucky, from beyond her southern border, but Thomas and his army stand more impassable than the Alp6, in the time of JLannibal, between us and them.” The Taunton Gazette says, that at a resent church fair, a set of Coop er’s works was promised tq him who should answer a set of conundrums. The winner received a set of wooden pads." the east, the gentle rays of coming peace- Godf has other means, than by forpe of soBtfiertJ anna, and southern valor, to bring us oat con querors. There is such a complication of op posing interests, among the nations, Hiat the high ha'hd, of the race of northern IsbmaelitPs, will soon be arrested in its mad career of tyran ny, and bloodshed. Ere long, the confederacy will stand among the recognized nations of the earth, and wealth, and power, and prosperity, and glory, and fame will perch upon her ban ners. And what, then, will be the feeling of the- traitors, who now counsel submission, in order to save their property ? Why, they will come out from their holeB of infamy,and shame, and, with their bold, brazen fronts, claim as much honor, and glory, as anyone. It is then that the black roll, which must be kept against them, shall be brought to light, and tho infam ous culprits be lashed from the temple of our freedom, ard independence. We repeat it, we know some of these tories* and traitors, and we intend to make a record of their names, and in the bright day that is coming for the south, if they dare to obtrude their reptile forms into the company of gentle men, and patriots, they shall be exposed, not only to the hissing, and scorn, of indignant freemen, but to the rope of the hangman, and the lash ol the scourger of oulprits, and crimi nals. Gov. Brown’s Message.—A syn opsis of the message of , Governor Brown, to the Georgia legislature, will be found under the telegraph head. Is it not amazing that the governor of any southern state should express such opiujM;* », 1 They were becom ug enough in peace time*— or, rather, excusable in such times— but now, m the mid s', of a w*j? ,iy> magnitude of this, is it not amazing, that any man, professing to be loyal should thiow such a firebrand among our peo; le ? It seems to us that it is amazing ; and if one should con clude that Governor Brown were get ting ready to make his way to the yankee lines, it would be pardonable. He may be an honest, and a patri otic man, but that he is a wrong-head ed, and an unwise man, no one with any sense can fail to conclude. It is painful, and also shameful that this man has authority in so great a state as Georgia. He is one of those who, how honest soever their intentions may be, derive their opinions from what they consider their personal grievances. Mr. Davis has not treat ed Gov. Brown’s trivialities with all that deference that he demands for them, and the result is, that he for gets Ins country, in order to heal his own selfish wounds. It is sad to think that any state has at its head a man of this kind—a marplot, a sores headed, sore-hearted man, who can not iise above the narrow region of his own egotism. Well, we think that Brown is dig- V;
