GEORGIA TIIE KEVSTO.tE OF SECEfE

The editor of the Atlanta Intelligencer says :
one of the most prominent citizens of ‘South i
Carolina wrote him a letter the other da*y and
alluding to the secession of the South said : i
“ All here consider Georgia the Keystone of

?l e movement.” Florida too, continues the ed
itor of the lnt<Ui/ji acer, that lioble. peninsular
State—true to the interest# <jf the South ag the
needle to the pole —look# to Georgia as a lead
er in the movement. Then ®he asks “shall we
o
deceive and disappoint #her? .“Emphatically
we answer JVYjyr * . * •
.Now we may ask “just hre‘*what is it that
gave Georgia the proud* dignified position „of ’
1 “lemder” to Soutlj Carolina and Florida? Is it.
the strength of her arms, Wealth and glory
or is it the wis4om of her statesmen *yid"th&*
cons#*quent*political p*>wer she has gver wielded
in the Federal # Government ? “Without an es- a

The ?Tew York. Herald concludes an
al upon the Aspect of political affairs* with the
following practical suggestions.: • j
According to the present appearances, there
are about five States resolyed upon •sececsioi>.
These are Smith Carolina, Georgia, Alabama,
> I;lorida iflid Mississippi. The other slave
States of the Sauth are in fav„or of remaining
in the Union, at least.until some overt aggress
ion bp made upon their rights. ’Ascension of
these five States, therefore, \\ill haV’e the im
mediate effect of giving the Republican patty
majorities in both* IleusCa of Congress,‘and
will havp the ’prospective .etfect of weakening
t*lie political in/lncwcc of the institution bf* Af
rican slavery, ‘t hey would, thcrefiye, bo play
ing directly injtu the* hand of the adversary,
just astheydid play.into his haryls when they
seceded from the Democratic, conventions at
Charleston and Baltimore. And what do the
election.figures prove ? They prove two thing*;;
first, that.the united Opposition vftte, North
and Soflth, exceeds the Republican vote by
eight hundred thousand ; and second, that the
Opposition‘vote in the free States outnumber
ed, by* 5*50,1100, the Opposition votes in the
I slave States. * * •
In view ok these figures, and in view, also,
6f tKe undeniable preponderance of antiße
publican sentiment in the ’great commercial*
centres cf the North, particularly in New”
Yofrk, there is no excuse for scccessioir at this
! time. •

New Jersey has been very wrongfully clash
ed with those States hftve passed laws
hostile to the execution of the Act of C<yn
! gress concerning fugitive slaves. New Jersey
is loyal to the Constitution in rqgard to this
matter. An act of her Legislature,* passed
April 18, 1846, makes full provision for the

_T tv, Florida, on the night of the 10th of June, my ne
gro boy SOLOMON. At latest accounts, he was above
Thomasville, making bis way towards Macon. He is

Description.
SOLOMON is about 21 or 22 years old, weighs about
150 or 160 pounds a very fine looking boy, with smooth,
sleek skin, and before he left had many bruises on hia
; body, caused by a mule running away with him;, in walk
. ing lie swings himself about, and when standing is in
clined to be knock-need. _
