AUGUSTA, GA.
FRIDAY MORNING, SEPT. 14, 1860-
HON. JOHN C. BRECKINRIDGE.
We desire to present to our readers a few of the
reasons why we do not, and they should not, sup
port this distinguished Kentuckian for the Presi
dency.
We state in advance that we shall not call him
an Abolitionist or emancipationist, for two reasons;
first, it would not be true; second, it would be
robbing the secessionists of their choicest thun
der, forsuch words, coupled with such refined ex
pressions as “traitor” and “squatter are the ar
guments which dwell on their pure lips.
We have been told that the only way to defeat
Mr. Breckinridge was to abuse him, but if a can
vas can only be won with falsehood, it is not worth
the winning. The end does not justify the means,
and we will not, if we know it, do Mr. Breckin
ridge injustice.
He is a southern man, aud we have no doubt is
as true to the South us any southern President we
ever had. We thought so when we recommended
him for the Charleston nomination, and while his
acceptance of another than the National nomina
tion may awaken just doubts as to his party fealty,
vet we do uot think that he has become either a
treesoiler or a traitor by differing with us in opin
ion.
We simply hold, first, that he is not the regular
nominee of the party. Second: That his record
upon slavery, is no better than that of Mr. Dovg
las. Third: That for all his public services he
has been amply rewarded, and that he deserves
far less at the hands of his party and the South
than the Senator from Illinois.
Upou the question of nomination, we apprehend
that there is little to fear. There is no one in the
secession party,, from their royal arch stump
speaker, James Buchanan, with his kindred disor
_ - ■•• “ —w....... t Vancsv,
dowo Ao iho humblest clerk who bears the trans
parency tu the Washington torch light procession,
marked with the three B’s (Breckinridge, Bread,
and Butter,) who does not admit that whoever
may be regularly nominated, Breckinridge, of
Kentucky, it not!
As for our own candidate, Mr. Yancey said in
his Charleston theatre speech that the seceders
had left the •‘rump convention'’ (how refined 1) id
possession of the name and the organization. Ben
Hill, of Georgia, invites the bolters to himself and
his party by that only plea, that they have quit
their own.
Mr. Yancey proposed to baptise them with a
new name, and was only kept from it by that ster
ling Douglas Democrat, Governor Winston, of
Alabama. By the rules of the House of Repre
sentatives which had governed all prior conven
tions, (the special rule as to a quorum and majors
ity being drawn from the Constitution itself,j Mr.
Douglas, by receiving far more than two-thirds of
the “votes cast,” is the regular nominee by far
more than a legal nomination.
But the Douglas Democrats determined that
they, likeCJEs.Aß’s wife, would be above suspicion,
aud after ruling out their own friends from Geor
gia, on a parliamentary quibble, they proceeded
to make a new and unheard of rule, which requir
ed a vote equal to two-thirds of the number of the
Electoral College 1
The convention then passed a resolution ask
ing the southern States to fill the vacancies of the
delegates who had resigned, (not send them back),
and adjourned to Baltimore.
At Baltimore, no one who understands the least
particle of parliamentary law, would pretend that
one of even its merest quibbles was violated.
Hon. Caleb Cushing, the author of the be9t text
book extant on that subject, and himself the ablest
presiding officer in the Union, sat for days at
the Front Street Theatre—saw Hallet ruled out
because he had resigned his seat to an alternate—
saw other members ruled out upon technical de
fects, as was the National delegation from Geor
gia—saw Alabama and Louisiana present the cre
dentials of their new delegations in strict con-
formity to the resolution of the conven
tion, accredited by regular and large State
conventions, in the place of resigned delegates,
whose formal withdrawals were on the minutes by
their own request—saw them admitted—saw
friend and foe ruled out alike when they failed to
conform to the strict rules of organised bodies, and
Cushinq himself, with the Supreme Court bench
before his eves, could not raise a point of infora
mality or conjure up a word of objection.
True, indeed, it would have been just to rule
out all who were accredited to another and a
hostile organization, but in the plenitude of their
justice, the Douglas men ruled out their friends
from Georgia for the second time (the Vice Presi
dential candidate, himself, among them the second
time) and admitted men who they knew had one
hostile convention in session, and a hall engaged
for another.
With, theu, a convention numbering two hun
dred and twelve just aud legitimate votes, every
delegate having passed the regular committee on
credentials ; not a vote counted which was not
strictly legal ; the proportional vote of the ten re
maining delegates from Georgia not counted at all,
(for the convention only denied them the power
to cast the full vote of the State),* Judge Douglas
got the unanimous nomination of that body of two
hundred and not a dissenting voice being
raised; aud even under anew and unprecedented
rule of strictness, stands to-day before the Demo
cracy of the United States, their regnlar and law
ful nominee, beyond the shadow of a doubt.
Democracy is a voluntary association, aud he
who does not support its self-imposed laws is no
v. emocr&i; ergo, we do not now support Mr. Bbecs-
U. u>OK, because he is not now a Democrat.
*'v’ [TO BS CONTINUED.]
Resignation’ of tee Supbbintbnde.vt of the
Hasper’* Ferbt Abmoht.— Col. Alpbed M. Bar
boub, superintendent of the Harper s ferry Ar
niory, has resigned hia position, to take effect on
the first es Ootober. Col. Barbour has been a
faithful officer, and resigned his position on ac
count of political differences between him and
President Buchanan. He is the elector at large
on the Douglas electoral ticket for Western
Virginia. In reporting the resignation to the
Secretary of War, the Chief of the Ordnance De
partment, Col. H. K. Craig, stated that he deeply
and sincerslv regretted that circumstances had de
termined Col. BarboubU) resign, AS he was a most
efficient officer.
NOT A DISUNION PARTY,
Mr. Breckinridge is not himself a disunionut, j
and the effort of Lis party to shelter their own derk
design* behind his declaration, that equal rigb's,
etc., are “symbols of everlasting Union,” is about
as wise as the trick of the desert bird, which hides
its head in the sand, and fancies that its whole
body is concealed.
There is an old and homely adage about “birds
of a leather flocking together,’’ and it is strange
that every disumonist in the South should flock to
the secession tiag, if they do not recognise their
party colors.
We do uot feel like making a connected argu
ment now, and will merely put together a few
facts, and for to-day, submit the case to the jury
without argument.
Our owr large selection of facts we reserve for
another day, and give now the case pretty much
as made out in a late number of the Richmond
Whig.
Extract from the well known letter addressed by
the Hon. Wii. L. I'ancbt to Mr. Slaughter, un
der date of June 15, ISSS.
The remedy of the South is in a dilligent organ
ization of her true men for prompt resistance to the
next aggression. It must come in the nature of
things. No National party can save us; no section
al party can ever do it. But if we could do as our
lathers did—organise committees of safety, all over
the ootton States, (aDd it is only in them that we
can hope for any effective movement) —we shall
fire the Southern heart, instruct the southern mind,
give courage to each other, and at the proper mo
ment, by one organised concerted action, we can
precipitate the cotton Slates into a revolution.
According to this view, a national party, because
of its very nationality, cannot be expected to save
the South, as Mr. Yancey understands salvation.
Just as little can a sectional party hope to accoor
plish this end, because a southern sectional party
must needs be too weak to carry out its purposes
In either event, therefore, disunion is the only ulti
mate remedy, as it is the only and the inevitable
resuit contemplated by the writer.
The successive stages reached in the initial
steps of this movement will be discerned in the
following extracts from the Mobile Mercury, of
April, 1859, reflective of the disunion sentiment
cherished by a portiou of the southern Democracy:
The times are now ripe for the organization of a
political movement in the slaveholding States, ir
respective of course of all old party designations ;
and there are peculiar reasons why such a move
ment should be undertaken now and here. In
deed, we are credibly informed that conferences
have already been held by leadiug patriotic gen
tlemen in the city, of all ‘parties, and the plaus of
a southern organization have been set on foot and
almost matured, preparatory to action. We ear
nestly hope the good work may go on, and speedi
ly. iThe couutry, we repeat, is ripe for the move
ment, aud, if ‘judiciously inaugurated, it will
sweep over the land with a frce that no opposi
tion will be able to check. We therefore caution
our friends iD the country everywhere, to be pre
pared for it, and to keep themselves free from all
entaogliug alliances which may hinder them from
joining in it untrammeled.
In the following October, the Charleston Mer
cury put forth the subjoined programme, by which
the “preliminaries” could be arranged :
1. Legislatures of the southern States,
at their next meeting, distinctly declare the rights
of the South, as plainly, deducible from the Dred
Scott case, accompanied with a resolution that
they will vote for no one for the Presidency or
Vice Presidency of the United State* who does not
plainly and distinctly affirm and support them
without non-committalism, dsdgtng or equivoca
tion. , ,
2. Should the Charleston convention declare
and affirm these rights, aud nominate candidates
for the Presidency and Vice Presidency who dis
tinctly support them, then the southern States
will support such a candidate, and should tbey
be elected, proof will be afforded that the South
may continue with safety in the Confederacy.
3'. But should the candidates for the Presiden
cy and Vice Presidency, thus fairly nominated by
the Charleston convention, he defeated in the
Presidential election, and the Republican or Abo
lition partv succeed iu electing their candidates,
then the southern Legislatures, as soon thereafter
as they shall successively assemble together,
should recall their Senators and Representatives
from the Congress of the United States, and in
vite the co-operation of their sister southern
States to devise means for their common safety.
4 But should the Charleston convention refuse
to declare and affirm the rights of the South, as
deducible from the Dred Scott case, or nominate
candidates who will not affirm and support them,
then let the southern States nominate and support
candidates of their own, plainly and faithfully re-
S fleeting ami supporting their rights.
5. Should the southern States succeed in elect
ing their sectional candidates thus nominated, of
course they will deem it a sufficient proot ; for the
present, of their safety in the Union.
6. But should the southern States fail in elect
ing the sectional candidates thus nominated, then
lei ihe game course be pursued as bas^beerysu^
with candidates standing on the rights of the
South, and the Black Republican or Abolition can
didates be elected.
The State convention of the Alabama Demo
cracy met on the 11th of January last. Mr. Yas
cey, a prominent and influential delegate, is ad
mitted to have suggested, if not controlled its
deliberations. The line of action which he recom
mended is disclosed in tiie following extract from
a speech he delivered before that body :
To obtain the aid of the Democracy in this
contest, it is necessary to make a contest in its
Charleston convention. In that body Douglas’
adherents will press his doctrine to a decision. If
the State Rights men keep out of that convention,
that decision must inevitably be against the South,
aud that either in direct favor of the Douglas doc
trine, or by the endorsement of the Cincinnati
platform, under which Douglas claims shelter for
his principles. The State Rights meu should pre
sent in that convention their demand for a deci
sion, and they will obtain an endorsement of their
demands, or a denial of those demands. If en
dorsed, we shall have greater hope of triumph
within the Union. If denied, in my opinion, the
State RighU wing should secede from the conven
tion, aud appeal toMhe whole people of the South,
without distinction of parties, and orgauise anoth
er convention upon the. basis of their principles,
and go into the election with a candidate nominated
bv it, as a grand Constitutional party.
But in the Presidential contest a Black Republi
can may be elected. If this dire event should
happen, in my opinion the only hope of safety for
the South is in a withdrawal from the Unn n be
fore he shall be inauguratsd; before the sword and
the treasury of the Government shall be placed in
the keeping of that party. I would suggest that
the several State Legislatures should, by law, re
quire he Governor, when it shall be made mani
fest that the Black Republican candidate for the
Presidency shall receive the electoral vote,to call a
convention of tbe people of the State to assemble
in time to provide for their safety before the 4th of
March, 1861. If, however, a Biack Republican
should not be elected, then, ia pursuance of the
policy of making the contest wiibiu the Union,
we should initiate measures in Congress which
should lead to a repeal of all the unconstitutional
acts against slavery. If we should fail to obtain
so just a system of legislation, then the South
should seek her independence out of the Union.
How truly this programme was fulfilled, no far
as regards tbe Legislature of Alabama, is read in
the following resolutions, passed by the Legisla
ture, and approved by tho Governor of that State,
on the -25th ot February, 1860 :
1, Beit resolved, By the Senate and House of
Representatives of the State of Alabama, in Gener
al Assembly convened, that the State of Alabama,
fully concurring with the State of South Carolina,
in affirming the right of any State to secede from
the Confederacy, whenever, in her judgment, such
a step is demanded by the honor, interests, and
safety of her people, is not unmindful of the fact
that the assaults upon the institution of slavery,
and upon the rights and equality ot the southern
States, unceasingly continued with increasing vi
olence and in new and more alarming forms, may
constrain her to a reluctant but early exercise of
that invaluable right.
2. Be it farther Resolved, That, in the absence
of any preparation fora systematic co-operation of
the southern States in resisting the aggressions of
their enemies, Alabama acting for herself, has sol
emnlv declared that under no circumstances will
she submit to the foul domination of a sectional
northern party, has provided for the call of a con
vention in the event of the triumph of such a fac
tion in the approaching Presidential election; and,
to maintain the position thus deliberately assuni- ‘
ed, has appropriated the sum of two hundred
thousand dollars for the military contingencies
which such a course may involve.
How exactly so much of the programme as re
lated to a contingent secession from the Demo- j
cratic National convention was carried out, we need
not pause, in view of recent and current events, to j
designate. Prophecy has already been converted
into fact. It is to the consequences that we turn
our attention. These consequerces are seen in the
open expression of disunion tendencies, confessed
in the columns of certain journals as a j-eason for j
sustaining the nominations of the seceding l)e
----mocracv. We select two or three specimens from
tbe many at our command:
From the Charleston (S. (J. ) Newt..
It mav be asked what hopes have we from the
Presidential struggle. On this point we have not |
time to-dav to dilate in full. Our hopes are high
er than any to be lounded on a mere Presidential j
result. The contest wiil leave tbe South united ,
as a party, united as a seetion, united in the pur
pose of right and self defence, and ready, if ever,
under the aroused excitement aud common indig
nation, to meet the real sectional issue brought up
under a torced sectior al array, to solve it by eith- j
er submission to Black Republican rule at Wash
ington, or a resort to her own self-government in
a geparateand independent form.
From the Camden (Ala.) Register.
We run up our flag to day for Breckinridge and
Lane, the Democratic nominees for President and j
Vice President of the United Slates. We hare un- 1
waveringly concluded for the last ten years, that i
it would oe better (for all concerned) to make two or i
more distinct governments of the territory compris
ing the United States of America—and that such
will ultimately be done, there can be no sort of
doubt ; but it should be done with fairness and
justice to every section of the UnioD; and believ
ing that the party t* which we belong is the only
reliable one to carry out this measure, and to se
cure to our own section all her rights,we intend to
battle for its principles to the fullest extent of our
ability.
Tue Montgomery (Ala.) Mail, a Brf.ckinridgb
Democratic journal, contains the following pro
gramme of operations in its number of July 25th:
The Way U, Dissolve the Union. —Run three Pres
identiai tickets against Linculn, thereby giving
Lincoln the best chance for election. After Lin
coln is elected, some southern communities—-most
of them, perhaps—will refuse to lets postmaster
appointed under his administration take posses
sion of the office. Then the United States author
ities will be interposed to “enforce the law.” Then
the United Stales authorities will either be shot
down, or they will shoot somebody down. Then the
people of the community will rise up against the
United States Government, and will be sustained
by neighboring communities, until civil war, with
ail its horrible butcheries, envelopes the land in a
shroud of blood arid carnage !
Yes, it you wish to bnug this delightful state
of affairs about, run three tickets in the South
against Lincoln. If you don’t, then run but one
ticket, and let that ticket benotonlv the strongest,
but also in favor of southern equality in the
Union, unequivocally expressed. That ticket
is Breckinridge and Lane.
If such is the language of certain Breckinridge
journals, the terms employed by some among his
most distinguished aud ardent supporters are
equally significant. We cite from a letter of the
Hon. Lawrence M. Keitt, of South Carolina, un
der date of July 18, 1880, as follows:
And how can the South be saved from injury if
the Republican party suceeds in the coming Presi
dential election? I answer, only by dissolving the
Government immediately. If this party succeeds,
loyalty to the Union would be treason to the South.
And will the South be divided npoa this issue?
VV I II she not dismiss party names, and build her
self up into one great unit for her deliverance?
* * * * The great party which con
trolled the Republic for eighty years is broken aud
disrupted. It Kept the two sections apart from the
beginning of the present struggle, but it has itself
fallen to pieces in the conflict of principle; and
the North and the South now stand face to face,
while each is touching the lilted shield with the
point of the spear. Dream after dream has floated
before us, and vanished never to return ; illusion
after illusion has broken up and drifted away, and
we are awakened to a conflict which cannot be
avoided without dishouor, and in which we cannot
be vanquished without ruin. The South now
stands upon the Constitution, and her standard is
in the hands of Breckinridge and Lane. Let her
sons rally to it, and under it, move on to “Equali
ty in the Union, or Independence out of it.”
* But should the Black Republican party obtain
power, and the South remain passive, what then ?
While 1 invoke co-oporation, while 1 appeal to the
States around to be true to their honor, yet, if
these fail, I will counsel the State alone, if neces
sary, at all hazards, to secede from the Union. Any
fate is better than degradation and a slow-consum
ing tyranny. The Federal Government might be
abolished to-morrow, and the South would only
know it through the removal of burdens, aDd the
withdrawal ot oppression. Every volume of the
Federal statutes might be burnt, aud the South
would never know that an injury had been done
to her. Her protection comes from the State
governments, and under these alone, if the Union
were in ruins, she could achieve her safety and
prosperity. She will meet the future with organ
ised governments, and not in a confused aud
chaotic condition.
In my judgment, if the Black Republican party
succeeds in ibe coming election, the Governor
should immediately assemble the Legislature, and
that body should provide for a State convention,
which should protect the State from the dishonor
of submission to Black Republican rule.
To similar purport ex-Governor Herbert, of
Louisiana, writes as follows, under date of July
25th, 1860:
The secession of the southern delegation at
Charleston aud Baltimore, upon a principle so vital
to us, and the final nomination of Messrs. Breckin
ridge and Lane upon this principle, prove that
the South has at last come to her senses, and open
ly declared her determination to accept the respon
sibilities forced upon her. For once, the issue is
fairly and properly made. Let us trust that all are
in earnest, and that the matter will be carried out.
Mr. Seward—there is no use of being blind to it—
is right; there is, or soon will be, ‘an irrepressible
conflict.’ When the war of words is over, and
things come to the worst, as most assuredly must
happen, let us hope that no one will be absent from
‘ro 11-call,
Mr. William E. Martin, a delegate to the Rich
mond convention from the State of South Caroli
na, holds iu a recent letter the following language,
which is remarkable for its frankness in regard to
the effects likely to result from the election o*
either a Democrat ora Republican l’resideot. The
reader will draw his own inferences from Mr. Mar.
tin’s silence in regard to the election of a President
pledged tot “Constitutional Union.”
The. r- eio of the South r.ro nrena—'• — 1
with a dtguity worthy ot the great issues and their
own bright history. They know the crisis is in
evitable. The election oflttjDemocrat may sound a
hollow truce, or the success of a Black Republi
can may at once precipitate it upon U3. Iu either
event, it is only a question of time.
To these add the following declaration contain
edin a recent letter from Ex-Speaker Oru, of South
Carolina, another of Mr. Breckinridge's support
ers, and heretofore known for his conservative
predilections :
Lincoln and Hamlin, ihe Black Republican
nominees, will be elscted in November next, and
the South will then decide the great question
whether they will submit to the domination of
Black Republican rule—the fundamental prinoi
nle of their organisation being an open, undis
guised, and declared war upon our social institu
tions. I believe that the honor and safety of the
South, in that contingency, will require the
prompt secession of the slaveholding Stares from
the Union, and failing then to obtain from the
free States additional aud higher guarantees for
the protection of our rights arid property, that the
seceding States should proceed to establish anew
government.
But, whilst I think suCh would be the impori
tive duty of the Mouth, I emphatically reprobate
and repudiate any scheme having for its object
the separate secession of South Carolina. If Geor
gia, Alabama, and Mississippi alone, giving us a
portion of the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, would
unite with this State iu a common secession upon
the election of a Black Republican, I would give
my assent to the policy.
We confess that, under ordinary circumstances,
we should find it difficult to explain the hot haste
with which those gentlemen come forward to as
sure us that their candidates are already beaten,
and that Mr. Lincoln is already virtually elected.
One would suppose that a decent respect for the
distinguished gentlemen who accepted the noml
nation of the seceding Democracy, would preserve
their friends from the incivility of vieing .with
their adversaries in the amiable office of tlnis“whis
tling them down the wind” at the very threshold
of the canvass. And it is this singular alacrity for
defeat which, we suppose, has begotten the suspi
cion in certain minds, that the anticipated result
is not unwelcome to some, if it can be made an
available means to disunton ends.

W” A Word of Warning.—'There is nothing more
despicable than stealing the reputation of a reliable article to
Impose upon the community an Inferior and worthless one,
and yet It is often done. Fifteen years ago, Rkiustreet &
Cos. Introduced a Hair Restorative, under the name of INIMI.
TABLE HAIR COLORING. Its wonderful restorative
properties made it immensely popular, aud the grey and bald
heads were like to become a thing of tae past, when the coun
try was flooded with Imitations, the use o which was not only
useless, but absolutely Injurious. The original preparation
is it scleutifle combination, made with oil and stimulating spir
its, affording an agreeable Hair wash, while all the imitations
are made with water, making the Hair harsh, dry, and friizy,
requiring, after It dries, the use of si! or wash to inak it look
deeeutly. We would, therefore, advise our readers to buy
nothing but the original INIMITA HLE HAIR COLORING,
or Restorative, which is reliable.— Troy Whig.

IB 1 ” The Oxygenated Hitters. Nature, In her great
laboratory, has stored some remedy adapted to every disease
which “flesh is heir to.” But It requires the investigation and
research of the philosopher to discover and apply this reme
dy. Such research and Investigation Ins succeeded In discov
ering a remedy for that most afflictive dispensation, the Dys
pepsia, with all its leaser and numerous evils ; :i I it may be
safely asserted that, until the appearance of Ihe OXYGEN
ATKD BITTERS, a case of Dyspepsia cured was a rare ex
perienco In medical practice. Now, under the influence of

Lijik in Sumuxr.—The application of Fertilisers to growing
crops as an importance and value equal to that of their ap
plication at the time of planting. The value of all Fertilisers
must depend upon their actual contact with the roots of the
plar.ts during growth ; and to Insure the larger growth #f Cot
ton, the application should be made in season to bring the
Fertiliser in actual contact with the rsets immediately, pre
vious to the forming of the Lint. Manures, when se 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 ammoniacal parts of Guano, and the want of solubility of
its phosphates, render it unfit as a summer manure for Cotton.
The use of MAPES’ PHOSPHATE, however, Is without
risk. Both the Ammoniacal and Phospbatlu portions are slow
ly soluble, and by slight workings into the surface, the mois
ture oftne soil slowly oarrios them to the roots; and by great
er division during descent, causes contact with a greater
number of roots. At each disturbance of the soil, a lop dress
