FOFt VICE PH KSIT>ENT :
HERSCHEL V. JOHNSON,
OF GEORGIA.
AUGUSTA, CxA.
SUNDAY MORNING, JULY 1, 1860.
The Presidency.
We are glad to be able to (.resent to our readers,
as the Democratic candidate for the highest office
in the gift of the people, the name of him that
the nation so long has honored, Stephen A. Doug
las of Illinois.
From his childhood, this great statesman has
been a Democrat, and from his earliest manhood,
a defender of her cause. Let his enemies trace
his career upwards and onwards, from the young
lawyer to the school teacher of the West, Attor
ney General of Illinois; member of the Slate Leg
islature, the champion of his parly in IS4o, and
carrying the State by making two hundred and
seven speeches during that campaign"; Judge of
the Supreme Court; and at last elected to Congress
in 1543.
In all the record, there can be found no spot or
stain upon his pure, national Democracy.
His first successful effort iu Congress, was his
masterly argument in favor of the improvement
of the great western arteries of trade; his second,
the splendid speech in favor of remitting the tine
imposed on General Jackson.
We give the following extracts from it:
“The last of the high crimes and misdemeanors
imputed to General Jackson at New Orleans, is
that of arresting Judge Hall, and sending him be
youd the limits of the city, with instructions not
to return till peace was restored. Thejustification
of this act is found in the necessity which required
the declaration of martial law, and its continuance
ami enforcement until the enemy should have
left, or the treaty of peace be ratified. Judge
Hall, who was by birih an Englishman, bad con
federated with Louallier’s baud of conspirators.
Their movements were dangerous. Gen. Jack
son took the responsibility, and seat the Judge
beyond the lines of his camp. Was this a con
tempt ofcourt ?” *****
“I envy not the feelings of tins man who can
calmly reason about the force of precedents in the
fury of the war cry, when ‘booty aud beauty’ is
the’ watchword. Taik ®ot to me of forms and
rules of court, when the enemy’s cannon are point
ed at the door ! The man who coujd philosophise
at such times, would fiddle while the Capitol was
burning. There was but one form necessary on
that occasion, and that was, to point cannon and
destroy the enemy.” *
This noble effort endeared him to the heart of
the old hero, and the following is the account of
their meeting.
“The bill was passed, and the'fine refunded. A
year afterward, Mr. Douglas, in company with
several other members of Congress, paid their re
spects to the venerable hero and patriot, at the
Hermitage. When Mr. Douglas was introduced,
the old General grasped him warmly by the hand,
and requested him to step with him into a private
room. There, in the presence of two other gen
tlemen now living, and from one of whom we have
received this relation, the venerable soldier, in a
voice trembling with emotion, thus addressed the
young statesman : ‘Mr. Douglas, I read, with feel
ings of lively gratitude, your speech in Congress
last winter, in favor of remitting the fine imposed
on me by Judge Hall. I knew when J proclaimed
and-enforced martial law, that I was doing right.
But never, until I had read your speech, could l
have expressed the reasons which actuated my
conduct. I knew that I was not violating the Con
stitution of my country* When mv life is written,
I wish that speech of yours to be inserted in it, as
rr.y reasons for proclaiming and enforcing martial
law in New Orleans.’ ”
XJtiB3 does our candidate 3tami accredited be
fore the people, by the highest authorit y which is
recognised by a Democrat, the word of the hero of
New Orleans.
It has been asked with a sneer “what southern
State will go for Douglas?” Will not Texas go
for him, whose famed resolutions re-annexed her,
and made her one of the United States?
His speech of January <Sth, 1845, backed success
fully, the unsuccessful efforts of Jackson in 1833
and 1835 ; he proved by the letters of John Quincy
Adams, dated 1818, that the western boundary of
Louisiana extended to the Rio Brayo dal Norte,
that she was included in the Territory of the
Union by the cession of 1803 ; and as Chairman ot
the House committee on Territories, he reported
the bill, which admitted Texas into U;e Union as
a sovereign State.
Mr. Douglas has been charged with opening
Pandora’s box of evils, by the repeal of the MiS’
souri restriction, yet it was Mr. Douglas who for
years contended for the extension of that line ac
cording to the spirit of the compact, and who nev
er gave it up, until the last hope of the South, ot
peace and quiet uuder the compact, had vanished
iu thin air. But granting that a howl was raised
by the Abolitionists when his bold hand threw
open the door of the Territories, and placed the
North and the South as political and social equals
in the common domain. Such an evil, was the
seven years war with England, yet who among
our fathers, cared for the howls of 1 ones ? There
are those yet who curse the struggle for the right
as evil, but let them howl.
When Mexico dared rear the crest of the ser
pent in the talons of her eagle, against the thun
derbolts in the talons, of ours; when coward trad
ers shrunk from a possible injury to commerce;
when Tom Corwin said that his gang could com
mand the nation’s purse, and that the war should
go on without powder or provisions, and prayed
that the Mexicans would welcome the soidier chil
dren of his country with “bloody hands and boa ;
pitable graves”—the great orator who stood side i
by side with James K.Polk, the champion of the
Administration, the co-laborer in that cause to
which old Harry, of Kentucky, offered up a son
at Buena Vista, was Stephen A. Douglas, of llli- ;
noise. His great speech of May 13th, 1846, dec-id- ;
ed the appropriations.
When the Oregon question arose, he stood firm
est by Cass in the demand for ‘ the whole of Ore- j
gon or uone.” He declared in the House of Rep- :
resents-tives, that not one inch of Oregon should I
be yielded to Euglaud, or any other foreign power,
aud proposed a military position which should j
sweep the last vestige of British power from the -
continent.
As early as 1846, Mr. Douglas took the same;
high ground upon non-intervention by Congress
with slavery in the Territories, which he holds to- j
day. In 1847, he took his seat in the Senate of ]
the United Slates.
On the 30th January, 1848, he made his famed
speech ou the “teu regiment bill,” the purpose of
the uew troops being to hoid the States of Califor
nia, New Mexico, Chihuahua, New Leon, aud
Tamaulipas, with the cutes we had taken, and to
take other States uutil we “conquered a peace.”
11c proved that the war was not one of conquest,
,uud that the first blood shed,was “American blood,
ou American soil.”
When the famed Wilhot proviso came up, Mr.
Douglas was its steady, uncompromising, and de
termined opponent—it mattered not what shape
the odious measure assumed, he stood side by side
with the South, its unrelenting foe.
Mr. Douglas had endeavored to perfect the Mis- j
souri compromise upon the Texas resolutions, and j
in August, 1848, he offered an amendment to the
Oregon bill, extending the compromise line to the j
Pacific ocean, in the same sense, and with the
same understanding, with which it had been
adopted in 1820, and been extended through Tex
as in 1845. “ The amendment was adopted in the
Senate, but was lost in the House by northern
votes.”
Mark well the fact that he who has beeu de
nounced by the Abolitionists North, and the Oppo
sition South, for having stricken from the statute
books of the aalion the Missouri restriction—he !
stooo’ the earnest advocate of abiding bv it in good
faith, he proposed to let its airy form extend as a
coven-nt of peace, from Hit surf-beaten rocks of
the Atlantic to the goldca shores the Pacific;
be labored for quiet ie the cause of truth, sj;<j only
when the votes of the Abolition North repudiated
the compromise of 1820, when Freeaoil influence
virtually denied the contract, did Mr. Douglas
enter the tremendous struggle of 1850, and side
by side with Clay, Websteb, and Calhoun, sus
tain the fury of the slavery agitation in that year.
PotStAS and Clay did not make the war, for ;t
was made by the Freeaoil gang who, in 1354, held
that the Missouri line was a sacred covenant, and
who had repudiated it in 1848, aud forced the
necessity of anew compact in 1350.
Here let us pause a moment, to think of the
consistency of those Whigs, who now denounce
Mr. Douglas as a worse foe of the South than
Wilmot! and as the cause of the troubles since
1854, and who forget that Henry Clay, the god
they worship, was all his life the earnest advocate
of the abolition of slavery, by gradual emancipa
tion, ias Breckinridge is said 1 1 be now, i and that
Pandora’s box was opened bv Clay and Webster
in 1850!
On the 13th and 14tb of March, 1850, Mr.
Douglas delivered that splendid argument on the
compromise measures of Henry Clay, the ablest
speech that ever fell from the lips of a western
orator. He proved the power ot popular sover
eignty by the fact that slaves remained in Illinois
in spite of, and long after the ordinance of 1787.
He said : “We recognise the right of the South,
in common with our right, to emigrate to the Ter
ritories with their property, and there hold and
eDjoy it, in subordination to the laws in force there.”
The only objection which we had lo his course
then, was that he favored the admission of Cali
fornio, as did the Augusta Chronicle, and that was
the nearest “squatter sovereignty” that he ever ar
rived to.
Upon the passage of the compromise measures,
he returned to his home in Chicago, then, as now,
a den of Abolitionism, and a station on the under
ground railroad.
A vena! press, and pulpits disgraced by crazv
fanatics, joined to misrepresent, abuse and de
nounce him. The City Council passed resolutions
denouncing the compromise and the fugitive slave
law, as violations of the law of God and of the
Constitution. A meeting of twenty-five hundred
resolved to defy “death, the dungeon, and the
grave,” in resistance to the law. Mr. Douglas
announced from the stand that he would defend
the measures the next day; and the next evening,
before an audience of four thousand, composed
largely of Abolitionists, with the City Council in
front of the stand, and armed negroes behind it,
he delivered that withering rebuke to the sophis
try about “trial by jury,” “habeas corpus,” “higher
law,” etc,, the effect of which was a unanimous
resolution of the vast crowd to sustain the com
promise; and the repeal of their own resolution,
by the unanimous voice of the City Council. Such
a triumph of eloquence was never known before.
It will take us months to show tlie high claims
of Mr. Douglas upon the American people, and
especially those of the South; and we could now
fill a page with interesting facts, hut the extreme
heat of the weather, warns us not to exhaust the
patience ot our readers.
Mr. Douglas’ record upon the Kansas bill is
well known, and it is also known that he received
in Georgia, stielj an endorsement as has never be
fore or since been given to a politician, for botli
parties and the Legislature, declared it a kind of
treason not to accept the principles of his famed
bill. *
We are proud to present as the National Demo
cratic candidate for President, the man who has
fought a hundred successful battles for the South,
and not one against her; accredited to us by the
Sage of the Hermitage—the real author of Ihe
Compromise of 1850, and the first man in the North
who dared raise his voice for the fugitive slave
law. The man who beat Lincoln in Illinois by the
’ popular vote, in spite of Abolition guile and Ad
ministration hate. The man who has sustained
alone, a successful conflict against all the powers
of the Federal patronage, and in spite of all, stands
the unanimous nominee of the National Conven
tion. (After, it j* true, its disorganising elements
had gone.) The man whose every vote and posi
tion we are prepared and able to successfully de
fend—the orator who is the equal of Webster or
Clay; the statesman who has no superior, no equal,
, in all this broad land, l’he man, the bold honesty
• of whose Freeport speech should elect him. The
i man with whom Georgia's tried, proven and noble
statesman, Herschal Y. Johnson, has consented
’ to risk bis political fortunes.
The last, the best,
The “ little giant ” of the Wes—
. Stephen A. Douglas, of Illinois.
Congressional Censure of the Frestdeut
and Secretary Toucey,
The l hronideif Sentinel rather unkindly alludes
to the vote of the lower branch pf Congress, in
the paragraphs which we quote below.
We have tried hard to obey the commands of
the Book of our childhood, and have “respect for
those that have the rule over us ” and while we
cannot respect that power which has bejit ?!1 its
mighty energies to crush its own friend, Douglas
still we do not like to condemn anything that bears
the name ot Democrat.
The Chronicle says that (lie Democratic press
should join in the condemnation of Mr. Buchanan
and his cabinet; but there is no use for that, as it
is so well done by the Opposition press. Besides,
it is rather a bitter piil to condemn the man we
all voted for; one which we hope our neighbor
over the wav will excuse us from takiug.
The President of the United States has the in
firmity of being governed by his prejudices, and
his bitte* animosity to Douglas, (Rod only knows
what for!) has ruined uim, nearly rained the par
ty, blit is making friends for Douglas every day.
His term of office will shortly expire, and in the
quiet of bis Pennsylvania home, he will doubtless
regret the injustice done to him who was his
friend, who gave him bis present high position,
and who never injured him.
We cannot hate the President, we would iike to
honor him, we are obliged to pity him.
“It is said tns.t this action of Congress is only
an evidence of partisan, qr of Republican maligni
ty against a Democratic administration, and that
it was done solely for party purposes, and to break
down tt?e influence of the President and his Cabi
net. But really there was no use for anybody to
attempt to destroy Mr, Buchanan and Mr. Toucey,
because they had effectually destroyed themselves.
In nearly all of the Democratic conventions held
this year, State and National, the Administration
of James Buchanan has been studiously ignored.
It was u mill stone that all feared to hang about
their necks, because it could and would drag any
one that endorsed it to that grave from which
there is no resurrection. Not u line, nor a word,
was ever offered or said in commendation of the
Administration, eithorat Charleston or Baltimore,
; among the regulars or the seceders; for all saw
; that that :vas political death. But it is not true,
j charged, that this vote of censure was a party
j move. The resolutions were passed by a vote of
about two to oue, aud one of them by a vote of
! nearly three to one. In a house where there
[ were’ nearly ninety Administration Democrats,
! only about sixty could be made, under the lasb,
j to vote against this just censure. All the southern
I Americans and Whigs, we believe, voted iu the
; affirmative, and many Democrats, from both the
| North and the isouth —among them, the gallant
: Pryor, of Virginia. And why should such rest)
! lotions not be passed? Are we to adopt tbe old,
exploded dogma of monarchy, that the “King can
j do no wrong;” and to allow the Chief Magistrate
: of this great Republic to be engaged iu, and con
! mving'at, the most outrageous corruption, and
not raise a voice of denunciation against such con
| duct, beeau&e, forsooth, u Set of party jackals
■ choose to raise the cry of persecution —of partisan
; spite aud bigotry?
! >D u the people of this country, even if they are
Democrats, feel themselves bound to sustain a
party they have put iu power when it lias been
prove’’ enilty of shameless corruption and parti
zauship'in awarding commute in the navy yards,
ami elsewhere? *> edo not pJie'e Lti’j (eel
themselves hound to do any such tbiu to '. nor ‘ vlil
they uphold or countenance it. When PatteffiGU
writes the President that Mellick & Son, if award
ed a certain contract, will put on a large force
of men in their works, which force will be service
able in the election of Tom Florence to Congress,
when the President turns over the communication
to “ Live Oak ’ Toucey, calling his attention to it,
under his own endorsement, when the contract is
awarded to Mellick, there beiug other responsible
bidders for a less sum, and when Florence is thus
elected, will any honest man pretend to say that
the President and Secretary hare not corruptly
used the revenues of ihe government to purchase
a seat in the House for a partisan ? No, the evi
dence is incontestible, aud the judgment of the
people will sustain the action of the House of Rep*
resentatives, especially when they shall see and
read for themselves all the other evidence of fraud,
biought forward by the Covode committee.”

Declination of Senator Fitzpatrick.
The following correspondence has been pub
lished :
Washington, June 25, 1860.
Sir: Aou have been unanimously nominated by
the National convention of the Democratic party,
which met in Charleston ou the 23d day of April
last, and adjourned to meet at Baltimore on the
loth day of June, as their candidate for the office
of Vice-President.
To us has been delegated the agreeable duty to
inform you of such nomination, and to ask your
acceptance of it.
Iu selecting you for this honorable post, the con
vention have but appreciated the ability and high
toned nationality and patriotism which have long
disliuguished your public career.
We tender to you our congratulations, and have
the houor to be your fellow-citizens.

i
Washington, June 25, 1860.
Gentlemen: Your letter of to-day, informing
me that 1 “ have been unanimously nominated by
the national convention of the Democratic party,
which met at Charleston on the 23d of April last,
and adjourned to meet at Baltimore on the 18th
day of June, as their candidate for the office of
Vice-President,” was duly received.
Acknowledging with the liveliest sensibility this
distinguished mark of your confidence and regard
it is with no ordinary feelings of regret, that con
siderations, the recital ol which 1 will not impose
upon you, constrain me to decline tbe nomination
so flatteringly tendered. My designation as a can
didate for this high position would have been more
gratifying to me if it had proceeded from a united
Democracy—united both as to principles and to
men.
The distracting differences at preS&nt existing
in the ranks of the Democratic party were strik
ingly exemplified both at Charleston and at Bal
timore, and, in my humble opinion, distinctly ad
monish me that I should in uo way contribute to
these unfortunate divisions.
The Black Republicans have harmoniously (at
least in convention,) presented their candidates
for the Presidency and Vice-l’residency. So has
the Constitutional Union party (as it is termed).
Each party is already engaged iu the contest. In
the presence of such organizations we still unfor
tunately exhibit a divided’eamp. What a melan
choly spectacle ! It is calculated to cause every
Democratic citizen who cherishes the Constitu
tion of hts country to despond, if not to despair,
of the durability of the Union.
| {Desirous, as far as 1 am capable of exercising
any influence, to remove every obstacle which
may prevent a restoration of the peace, harmony,
and perfect concord of that glorious old party to
which 1 have beeu inflexibly devoted from early
manhood -a party which, iu my deliberate opiuiou,
is the only real and reliable ligament which binds
the South, the North, the East and the West to
gether upon Constitutional principles—no alter
native was left to me but that which 1 have herein
most respectfully commuuicated to you.
For the agreeable mauner in which you have
conveyed to me the action of the convention, ac
cept mv sincere thanks.
Very truly your friend aud obedient servant,
B. Fitzpatrick.

The first resolution, condemnatory of both the
President and Secretary of ts. e Navy, was adopted
without a count of the number voting on either
j side.
Ju reading the above vote, the careful observer
| cannot fail to observe two significant tacts. First,
! that, like in the vote on the {Jtah poligamv bi|l (
the friends of Mr. Douglas and his most einbit
tered southern enemies stood side by side. Se
condly, that, with two or three exceptions, the en
tire South American votes, even mcluding Mr.
; Smith, of North Carolina, for whom so many Dem
ocrats voted in preference to Mr. MeClernand,
united with the Republicans. This vote of censure,
then, winch we believe is unparalleled in our his
tory, was carried by a combination ol the entire
Opposition, South and North, against the Demo
cracy.
But has it ever struck you, reader, with what
uuswerpmg loyally these northern Democrats, the
so-called Douglas men, stand by their party?
These men, against whom the Administration has
carried on a systematic warfare, tliyse men whose
conventions the President’s organs scorn even to
notice, these men whom—as in the case qf Illinois
—Federal office holders are directed to put down
at the ballot box, these men whom southern zea
lots daily call FreesoilersAnd denoji-.ee as unwor
thy of association -these men magnanimously at
tempt to screen (he President Irotn an lgnominous
censure which is carried by southern votes.
When the reader further remembers that the
first paper which defended Mr. Buchanan against
the Covode committee, was tl;p Cincinnati En
quirer, whose proprietor was officially decapita
ted for advocacy of Douglas; that the minority
report in vindication of Ins protest message was
made by Mr. Miles Taylor, whose election as
Speaker Mr. Buchanan declared would be a per
souul insult to himself; and by Mr. Houston, who
is known to have no sympathy with the adniiuis
trillion in its insane Douglas-phobia; that in the
very instance before us, it was Mr. Bocock, who
also deprecates the war on Douglas, that moved
to lay. ihe resolutions of censure ou the table;
when the reader remembers all this, he will scarce
ly need comments of ours to guide hipi in his re
flections.
Death of G. P. R. James.—The Europa brings
the brief announcement of the death of Mr. G. I J .
R. James, the well known novelist. We are with
out the particulars of his death, nor is it announc
ed at what place it occurred, though he was said to
be in England at our latest advices.
Mr. James was born in London at the com
mencement of the present century, and commenc
ed his career by early contribution to the maga
zines and newspapers. Mr. Washington Irving
was his literary godfather, for some youthful ef
fusions exhibited merit sufficient to elicit his
praise aud the advice to adventure in a larger
field.
The life of Edward, the black Prince, published
iu 1822, was his first important effort in liters
turn, and was followed, three years later, by the
uovel of Richelieu, an historical romance, the first
of a long series by which Mr. James attained his
peculiar reputation and success.
From life year 18°2 till the day of his death,
Mr. James’ pen has never fceen idle. The mere
! list of his writings is beyond most meu’s power
j to remember, as the writings themselves have
i been beyond most men’s power to read. His last
j work, Hwe remember correctly, was Lady Mon
tague’s Page, which was the 18‘uh volume of hi*
composition. , * * * *
-In one point, at least, the critic and the eulogist
will agree. He has written no line which dying
he could have wished to blot. He always ap~
! pealed to pure and generous sentiments, and the
i pen which covered so many lines never traced in
| one of them £ defiling word or called up an im
i pure image. „
The private life of Mr. James was full oi Kindly
deeds and unobtrusive virtues. Those who knew
him most intimately were warmest in his praise,
and lie nowhere bad closer friends than those
whom he acquired during the lew years, from
1850 to 1858, of his residence in this country.
The consular appointment which he held at Rich
mond, Va., under the British government, was
changed in the last mimed year to a consulship at
Venice, whither he removed with his family. At
Venice he has been living until within a few
months. Recent news from his family had not
left bis friends here unprepared for the sad event
which has now occurred. — X. Y. World, June 27.
Affecting Fidelity. —The Cincinnati Enquirer
has the following pathetic instance of devotion i£
a Douglas man, of Baltimore, who attended th
New Haven Douglas meeting, where he spoke as
: follows .
“ I have made arrangements )lo sell osjt my to
bacco factory over yonder, and I am going to Bal
timore to stay there, voting for Douglas just as
I long ns the money lasts ; and when that gives out
i will go to the aim* house, voting for Douglas still.”

| got no what’s-fais-name to buy it with,” replied
| tbe neighbor.

L: sk IN Sum m ek—The application of Fertilisers to growing
crops ‘as an importance and value equal to that of their ap
plication at tiie time of planting. The value of all Fertilisers
must depend upon their actual contact with the roots of the
plants during growth ; and to insure the larger growth of Cot
ton. the application should be made in season to tiling the
Fertiliser in actual contact with the roots immediately, pre
vious to tire forming of the Lint. Manures, when so used,
should not be of a character to injure the roots by over stimu
lating them. A proper degree of solubility prevents the too
rapid absorption of the Fertiliser; the extreme solubility of
the ammoulacal partsof Guano, and the want of solubility of
its phos pirates, render it unlit as a summer manure for Cotton.
Ihe use oi MAPES’ PHOSPHATE, however, is without
l ish. Both tin- Ammoulacal and Phosphatie portions are slow
ly soluble, and by slight workings into the surface, the inois
lure of tire soil slowly carries them to the roots; and by great
er division during descent, causes contact with a greater
number of roots. At each disturbance of tire soil, a top dress
ing of the above Manure is recommended; even a single bag
to the acre, mixed with twice its bulk of moist soil, ana hoed
or plowed in, will pay a large profit by increased crops—Prof.
