I u; *• ami Enthusiastic Ratifica
tion Meeting for
EUECKINRID GE <£- LANE!
Pursuant to previous notice, a largo anil en
thusiastic inching of the Democracy of Bibb
was held at -the Court JIouso in Macon, to ratify
tbo nominations Breckinridge and Lane.
One Hundred Guos wore fired in honor of
the occasion, When, on motion, Col Lochrane
v as tailed to Ufa Chair, and Dr. J. T. Cose and
CL M. Ballard,' Eaq., requested to act as Secrc-
tarita. . - .. . t , r
The chairman infeed tho necessity of a.unitcd
Sonili, in defenho of our constitutional rights.
The iaene had been tendered, and this was no
time to hesitate. As Sonthcm men, honor, duty
and patriotism called upon us to rally around
the'standard of Breckinridge and Lane. He
had desired to retire from politics, bat the cause
of {southern Rights induced him back into the
field.'. If* would be always found among the
a fair and honorable one. IVe want all true
democrats to engage in it upon those condi
tions, anti no other. AVc hope evert - Demo
cratic paper in Georgia will hold up the perpe
trators of the base act we have chronicled to
thc ccn-urc and condemnation of an outraged
community. Wo must permit no star cham
ber proceedings, no gagging of political oppo
nents in Georgia.
The ridiculous occurrence here alluded to,
had no foundation at all in any public opinion
or feeling that we know of It was but the
effervescence of mere private spleen, and very
prieate at that, because to this day no man
knoweth, except tho few perpetrators, who did
it The tignifieanee of an act of this kind de
pends alone upon tho actors—those who pub
licly cituie the deed and their reason and re
sponsibility for it You might ns well hold a
community or a party responsible for the slan
ders of a bucket letter, as to shame them for n
transaction of this kind in which they had
neither art nor part Anybody with a few old
clothes to spare can make ami hang an effigy
in the secrecy and darkness of a night, and i"t
is wholly unjust to berate for the act a com
munity quietly asleep at the time and knowing
nothing about it.
That is the whole story about the hanging
of Gov. Johnson in effigy in Macon. If any
rcsponsible man was concerned in that act, lie
1ms not had sufficient manliness to avow it—
If any intelligent man justifies it we have not
seen him. For the most obvious reasons,
then,, we declined at the time to rive tho out
rage publicity through the Telegraph, and
now, since it has been made public, only al
lude to it to say that it was no indication of
tho sentiments and feelings of this community
towards Gov. Johnson.
SUPREME COURT.
Djincan McLeod vs. Maitland, Kennedy 4

firmed.
John W. Easter vs. John D. Snclling—from

that the Court erred in dismissing the appeal,
it not being nccev-arv for a party at common
law to reserve the right of appeal, in order to
have that right.
James tV. Rennet vs. Zadoc Odom—from
Clay. Judgment affirmed.
Thomas Green vs. Wm. N. Bcttna—in equi
ty, from Talbot. Reversed, upon the ground
that the Court erred in dissolving the injunc-

Armory and disbanded.
Thus ended the events of the day. A day
that wifi long be remembered by our citizens,
and those who participated in its celebration as
“a green spot in memory’s waste.”

that the men who were sectional were those who
excluded slavery from the common territories
l>y refusing protection. The principle of non
intervention meant handsoff by the people of a
territory as well as by Congress; this was the visons among the Democracy. No very great
non-intervention wc had always sustained, The surprise would be ckfcitcd "if the free' States

w as no diaunionist, but he was for obtaining
our rights and would bo satisfied with nothing
less. He had done his duty in demanding pro
tection to shivery when necessary, and repudia
ting the odious doctrine ofsqnaltcr sovereignty.
Mr. Tracy made a good speech and concluded
with rapturous applause.
Col. Rnmsey, of Muscogee, being loudly call
ed on, came forward and made a thrilling and
eloquent speech. Ho argued the right of pro
tection with great dearness, and showed its ne
cessity by the exigency of our national affairs.
He argued the chances of success, believed hope
fully that the skies would clear, the storm pass
away, and leave Uia old ship of State safely an
chared. Three cheers greeted his conclusion,
and
John A. Jones, of Columbus, boing present,
was enthusiastically called on. He responded
in a very strong,., satirical, witty, and argumen
tative .Hjiecch. He brought-down the crowd,
again and again, at his hits on the Douglas men
—called up many a laugh at tho expense of the
tribulation committee—held Douglas’ record and
Gov. Johnson’s position in antithetical review,
and showed clearly that Southern men had but
one course to pursue, and that tho support of
tho ticket: The following resolution was passed,
unanimously,.

LAST WORDS.
The last words spoken from the floor of the
House of Representatives prior to its adjourn

member from North Carolina, and they were
singularly appropriate to the whole history
and condition of the last House—appropriate
to the state of political parties and party poli

and unhinged condition, of public affairs.—

with indignntiofi, that the lion. H. V. Johnson
was not only interrupted in his address at Ma

that the Empire State of the South could con-

J DEATH OF G. P. R. JAMES.
Thc Europa brings thc brief announcement
of the death of Mr. G. P. R. James, thc well-
known novelist. AYe are without the particu
lars of his death, nor is it announced at what
place it occurred, though he was said to be in
England at our latest advices.
Mr. James was bom in London at the com
mencement'of thc present.ccntury, and com
mcnccd his career by early contributions to the
magazines and newspapers. Air. Washington
Irving was his literary godfather, for some
youthful effusion exhibited merit sufficient to
elicit liis praise and the advice to adventure in
a larger field.
The Life of Edward, thc Black Prince, pub
lished in 1822, was his first important effort
in literature, and was followed, three years la
ter, by thc novel of Richelieu, an historical ro-
maoce, by thc first of a long series by which
Mr. James attained his peculiar reputation and
success.
From the year 1822 till the day of his death,
Mr. James’ pen has never been idle. Thc
mere list of his writings is beyond most men’s
power to remember, as the writings them
selves have been beyond most men's power to
read. His last work, if wc remember correct
ly, was Lady Montague’s Page, -which was the
180th volume of his composition.
