And whereas, such dictatorial conduct of the minoritv States re ceived from eight of tlip Southern Slates the re buke wlncji si)ch conduct disproved, to-wit: the withdrawal of the delegates who determined to meet iu Richmondon the 2nd Monday in June for .-(HiMiUations; and whereas, It is proper, for tlie different" counties'ln their primary as semblies to give full expression of sentiment upon the foregoing matters.

In looking over the proceedings of our late Con vention at Milledgeville, Usee some things f don’t like at all, and 1 want some explanation of the matter. If the Democratic party has ever had one vir- tne more prominent than that of any other, it was in always avowing, adopting, and publish ing to the ivorid, mi all proper occasions, their own distinctive and time honored ' principles. For the last fifty years, the party has never fad ed, when it had "a Convention", or meeting of any importance, to fproclaim their principles. While other parties have heretofore been shitt ing about, dropping (heir old principles and adopting different and new principles from time to time, the Democracy of Georgia and the De mocracy of the l-nioh, while meeting new ques tions as they canie up, have always proclaimed the name old principle* in relation to the proper management of onr goyernmelftl' Upon the. subjects of State Rights, a Revenue Tariff, In ternal Improvements ' by the general govern ment, the establishment ofa United States Rank, tlie Veto Power, and various other questions, the- Deinocraey of the whole Union have agreed upon, and announced in a body of resolutions or a platfonn. the same principles, and by this platform of principles the Democratic party has been known and distinguishes! from nil others. I'repeat again, that thi*platform of princi ple* has been adopted heretofore by every Dem ocratic Convention, both State and National,- whenever a Presidential election was .coming, ever since the party lias been in existence, un til at the late Millei/yeciltf Contention.. Be sides, being adopted by the various States ip their State Conventions, this platform was adop ted at the National Conventions at Baltimore in 1840, 1844, 1848, 1832, and was Unanimously adopted at'Cineinnati in 1830.- Of this plat form (the Cincinnati platform) the jl Ion.

All of them say—the Wilmot provmoists of the North, wo must intervene to estop slavery, and the Wilmot Prorisoists of the South, we must intervene to extend. Both agree Upon the fact, that it Is a negro man’s government, not tho white man’s, and that it is the duty ot - Congress to spend about all ita'time to fanciful legislation upon the negro. Fortunately for the country, there is n “high- er law,’’ South, as well as North, for the ultra- isLs, which scatters these “ resolutions” as the wind scatters cliatf, and tliat law is free labor, where slave labor won’t pay, and slave labor, where free labor can’t live in the fields. No res olution of Mr. Davis can legislate slavery into Dacotah, Chippewa, or Washington Territories; and no -resolutions can keep it out of Central America, if the United States itself ever gets there; or out of Cuba, if Cuba is ever annexed to the United States. Squatter Sovereignty, wenduiit, is a Very mis erable theory, and consequently, quite on unten able one, hut it is the law of the pioneer, of the rifle, and the forest cutter, of the plow and har row, and if Senator Douglas is all wrong in theory, he is all right in fact Congress itself is not potent enough to abolish slavery in a land of cotton and sugar, or to establish it in a land of ice and granite. The axe of the “squatter,” if not the “rifle,” is the law of fire land of the frontier. Hence, why waste time in Congress quibbling? Why consume days and ilayxsplit ting'hairs? ’ Why, on luxurious couches in the Senate, under tapestry curtains, word-settle what tire frontiersman is certain to settle him self, in tho forest or on the prairie? There is a great deal of practical common sense in the foregoing. For thi Daily Telegraph. Windsor Chapol Sunday S* Celebration* In one of the darkest corners of the suburbs of Alacon, stands a neat little Chapel, erected last year by the Macon Young Jlen'Christian Association, for the purpose of establishing a Sunday School among the Indigent poor, illit erate and degraded population of that neighbor hood. The school was organized under the auspices of this ChrUliim Association. At first, the prospect wits discouraging, yet, by a spirit of benevolent zeal and perseverance on the part of our Young Men tho school has been kept up, the most formidable obstacles have been over come, and now the school is an interesting and flourishing one, with a prospect’ of doing much good. ‘ For the purpose of giving additional impulse to the enterprise, encouraging the pupils, and stirring the neighborhood to a deeper interest in fire school, the Superintendents concluded to give them a festive celebration. Accordingly, on applying to a few benevolent families, and liberal hearted young men. ample contributions were readily made for the dinner; last Saturday was the day appointed, and about 70 children accordingly assembled. After the usual devo tional exercises, and a few short, practical talks, by several of the young men present, the chil dren" were invited to a well supplied table of re freshments, and without form or restrain^ they indulged their appetites, ad libitum. The scene was rather an interesting one, and the most satis factory evidence given that the children had a keen relish for eniw and candy whether they lov ed tire Sunday School or not. They behaved so exceedingly well, that no one would recognize them as the natives of “ Purakin Hollow.”— Cheerily they devoured the good things, and quietly went home, to return the next day, in increased numbers, to ihe Sunday School. May not tills enterprise effect much good ? Has not many a dark corner in the world - been thus il Iuminated by the simple agency of a Sunday School ? And such light infused into the heads and hcJrts ofthe groping populace as to break upon them the dawn of civilization, and lead them to the Christian’s hope ? Then let this work at Windsor Chapel - be prosecuted. The field is an inviting oye to the Philanthro pist Much may be done for Society and the Christian Church—to say nothing of the many impressions made that may result in pointing these benighted children to’ the cross of Christ, and leading them to the Christian’s home! Wc earnestly bespeak for this Sunday School, in Pumkin Hollow, .the hearty co-operation of the young men in Macon. Let them go out every Sabbath afternoon at 4 o’clock and assist in training these children for usefulness and Hea ven, and the “giver of all good” .will surely re ward them for their labors! . PHILOS HUMAXITATES. - Rkvolction is Jak-VN—Assassination of Tfin Reuest.—The cummuuity was • startled yesterday with the annoimcemoiit of the news, received "by telegraph and overland mail, from San Francisco, of the assassination of tbe Prince Regent of Japan, and the fears of a revolution, in .Jeddo. The subject acquires a greater in forest from the presence among us of the first Embassy that has .ever been sent abroad by the government of that empire. It is well known that ever, since the appear ance of Commodore Perry in the Japanese wa ters two parties have existed in that country. One of these -favored the jdea of intercourse with foreigners and the opening of their ports to commerce, while the other advocated the ex clusive policy which has so long characterized that country and China. The conflict between the two has’ frequently interfered with and re tarded the.negotiations of our Minister, Mr. Harris, ami" even after it had been determined to send an Embassy to Washington, a change of poliev was effected, and for a iime it was doubtful whether it would ever leave the shores of Xiphon. A compromise was at last effec ted. and the Embassy now here was sent out, consisting of one representative of each of the two parties in the empire, both of whom aro-to make their respective reports on their return. On the policy of the Embassy in. its inter course with our government, the recent occur rence can have no effect, inasmuch -as all the questions that were to have been treated—the signing of a new copy of the first treaty, an understanding with our government as to the anticipated designs of Russia towards Japan, and some arrangement of the currency- ques tion—have all been discussed, and the Embas sy has token formal leaVe of the President. It is now merely passing the time in taking notes preparatory to its departure, in order that it may make a report on the country, Yankee no tions and civilization in general, and receiving the public attentions that have been tendered to it. We have not yet learned wliat effect the late news has had upon the members, but it would not be .surprising if it should diminish their disposition to attend public festivities and accept the attentions which .there is. so much desire to show them.—.Ve«f York Herald. speculation to those engaged in R.

One of assassins, who wag wounded and could not escape, had his head cut off by his comrades, and carried off to prevent his be ing recognized. Five of the assassins-were Prince of high rank, and had the privilege given them of cutting open their own abdomens, with a sword, thereby preventing Their property be ing confiscated, and saving their families the disgrace which would entail upon them had they been beheaded. Thirty people were beheaded on the 1st of April, having been interested in fire affair. Sinco the death of the old Tycoom .un der whose regime the treaty was made, there has been an entire change in the Government, the present dynasty being opposed to foreign intercourse, throwing every obstacle in the way to interrupt trade and commerco that they pos sibly can do, without violating the - treaty.. The opposition, at the head of which is Prince Mcto, is reported .as being as strong as the pres int government, and insurrection is momentarily expected. Guard-houses, with stands of. anas, are numerous, both in the town and along the road to the city of" Jeddo. All foreigners are requested not to go out after dark, and are ad vised by their respective consuls to go Armed at all times. - et ‘ : Douglas-in SfwSouRt.— A correspondent of the St Louis Republican, writing from Cooper county, an account of a great Douglas meeting to sustain the Douglas delegates to Baltimore, says: In this section of the,country, and through out this electoral district, Mr. Douglas has a stronger hold on the popular heart than any man who has Jived since the days of Andrew JaCk- stm; and if the people are not cheated out of their choice, he will surely be the nominee of the Democratic tarty, and the next President of the United States, its that Gen. Jackson was made President by the potential and irresistible will of tho American people.” Moke about the Cooi.ie Trade.—Yoit will be interested to hear that a species of Slave trade on a small scale is earned on under the nofes ofthe Government oflicials'at Hong Kong, and that they are apparently powerless to put a stop to iL Chinese Coolies are kidnapped by Chinese crimps in the most approved fashion they arc invited to gamble, (an invitation that no Chinaman can resist,) hocusxed with sham shoo, anil put quietly on hoard junks in the har bor at nigliL In tlie morning they awake to find themselves gliding out of the bay, bound for the Portugusc settlement of Macao. On ar rival there, they are transferred to bar-racoons— prisons under "another name—where they are fed, clothed and carefully watched and sent- on board ships and consigned to Cuba, where they are sold for $250 or $300 as slaves. I am told that some farce is gone through at Macao, of their appearance before an official previous to their being shipped, and making a declaration that they are quite willing to go, andare, jn fact, luitc happy and contented with the brilliant fu- tmu that lies before them. But 1 am also told that their gaolers Iiave methods of inducement, into which the bamboo enters largely, for per suading them to make this declaration, and that value as a true exposition of their real feel- s is extremely doubtful. 1 hey are said to ost, ou an average, from date of kidnapping to period of shipment for Cuba, $43 to $3u each, heir on board during the passage- cannot be TV costly, as it is not likely they are treated to any very expeosive luxuries. I have alioye stated the price they fetch in Cuba, so that it would appear to be altogether a very profitable . Pennsylvania.—The State of Pennsylvania, now as in 1850, will decide who is to Ire cho sen -President of the United States. If she de clares for Lincoln at her October State Elec tion, it will not be possible to stop his triinuph- ant progress to the White House. If we are beaten then and there hy a majority wfrich enn be deemed decisive, we shall hardly be able to turn the tide of fortune in the Novetnbe^scoi^ test—Yew York Tribune. ■**£-■* *•* ‘ Dairy Tele- I jggT - We are indebted to the _ graph” for the information that the Richnrond Convention merely organized, and adjourned until the 21st inst Thanks to the energy and kindreds of Mr. Clisby, for Kia valuable paper ffipg! some ten hours a head of the mail.

A Milwaukee Pic-Xic.—Some people in Mil waukee met at a private house preparatory to starting on a pic-nic. Two of fire gontlciqon got to quarreling about one of the ladies, and finally fought in good earnest Tlie ladies also pitched in and sandwiches and doughnuts were liurled_ in profusion at antagonistic heads.— Bonnet's were smashed and white dresses ru ined, and there was a general wreckingof wear ing-habiliments. When the excitement was over it was decided to adjourn tho pic-nic, a fight and a pleasure party being considered rafiior too much for one day, ami tliat day the Sabbatli. Crops.—An old friend andacquaintance who has traveled through nine counties of this State, informs us the corn crop was never better, and that fire cotton crop r.t present, is very promis ing. Our experience is that no one can tell, at this period of the crop, what will be ita yield nor will they, until its gathered.—Saeannah . Express. ‘ ._ The Cattle Disease Approaching tbe South. We see it stated that the disease which h*s re cently destroyed so many cattle in Massachu setts "and other of the Nciv England i> tales, has made its appearance in Bucks county, Pa.— Within a short time Charles Michcnefafamier of Bristol township, lost nearly all of his val uable cows, ofa complaint said to resemble ve ry much the dreaded pleuro-pneurrmnia. Ii tins proves to be tlie truth, it shows that the disease is steadily spreading and ntny shortly ike its appearance among the herds of the South.
