On motion, the Convention took a recess until 3
o'clock, P. M.
At Three o’clock. T. M„ the Convention met.
The chairman of the committee on resolutions
made np the following report:
The commitlco of twenty-four, to whom was as
signed tho duty of preparing matter for tho action of
tlua Convention, ask lcavu to report tho following
resolution* as expressive of tho opinions of this Con.
vontion on all matters that it is essential for them to
take action upon at this time.
1. Resolved, 'i hat we declare our continued ad
herence nnd increased confidence in tho platform of
principles Rdoptcd by the Cincinnati Convention of
l«3d, nnd which were made triumphant in the elec
tion of James Buchanan to tho Presidency of these
United States.
0. Resolved, That wo declare onr continued confi
dence in the patriotism, fidelity and ability of Mr.
llurhaiiHii and his Administration, that lie will hold
even the scales of justice between ttio different sec
tions of tho Union, nnd prove faithful to the great
principles of justice and equality which procured his
election. —
3. Resolved. That tho inaugural address oPT.ov,
NValker, in prescribing tho terms on which Congress
should admit Kansas into the Union, and in attempt
ing to dictate the submission »f tlicir Constitution lor
ratification, and to what class of persons, constitutes
a presumptuous interference in matter* over which
ho has no legitimate control, and that the samo ad-
dress, in expressing his official opinion that Kansas
would bt-coine a free State, and in presenting argu-
jnents to support that side of tho question, is a gross
departure from tho principles of non-intervention
and neutrality which wi re c-tahli-li.-d by the Khiimis
bill; and this Uouvontion has full confidence that
Mr. Buchanan will manifest his fidelity to tho prin
ciples which CRrried him into office,'by recalling
XIor. NValker.
4. Resolved. That we highly approve of tho course
of our tjenntors, tho Hon. Robert Toomln and the
lion. Alfred Iverson; they have faithfolly served th*
Statu in tho public councils, and deserve’and should
receive the approbation and confidence of a free
and intelligent people.
3. Resolved. That wo tender to his Excellency
Gov. Johnson, tho expression of our approbation anil
esteem; his administration ha* been wife and just,
and he has proved himself a fit ruler to guide th
destinies of onr beloved State. *
Judge Thomas supported the resolutions in'a
sound, logical and forcible address. Hon. A. R.
NVright, of Floyd, presented a minority report as
follow*:
Augustus R. NVright. one of the committee of 34,
begs leave t.1 di—ent from that psrt .>1 tin- report
tho committee which relates to Gov. NValker* iuati-
gurcl, and tho action of tho I’renideut thereon, nnd
to insert in lieu thereof tho following:
Resolved. 1st. 'Unit this convention regards the
inaugural of Gov. NVnlker.of Kansas, as a direct and
palpable violation of the covenant of th.- Km^io. amt
Nebraska act. and of the Cincinnati platform.
Resolved, That we approve of that portion of his
instruction* which indicates it to bo tne will of the
President, that the constitution when framed, should
be submitted to the people of the territory, and the
furtherqualification indicated by Gov. NVniker, that
v"t, rs ought to he then tin- ». lu.i! buna fide resident,
aettlers who shall be by law entitled and qualified
voters.
Resolved. Tbit Gov. NValker'.* official interfer
ence in reference to the character of the constitution
to be framed, if it does not involve his removal, calls
for tho unqualified diiapprobation of tho President.
John NV. H. I nderwood, of Floyd, and Linton
Stephens,of Hancock, addressed th'e Convention in
favor of the majority report. The resolutions re
ported liy tho committee were received with but few
dissenting voices.
The resolutions were tbon read anil voted upon
separately. Till- first and second resolution* passed
unanimously. Mr. Fu lder. of Folk, offered a subMi-
tnt*- for the 3d resolution, viz:
Whereas, the Hon. It. J. NValker, in his late in
augural aitdr- si to the people of Kansas, has given
expression to sentiment.- in regard to the climate,
tempera tare, and implied want of adaptation to sla
very of that Territory, and *!*<> iu constitution and
Admission into tho Union as a rstate, which are re
garded a- infringing upou the doctrine of non-inter
vention.
Therefore, Resolved, 1st. That anyinlerfcrencenn
tlm part of tho present or any future Territorial
Governor nr other federal official which is designed
nr calculated in the remotest degreo to givo direc
tion to public sentiment, or lend tiio influence of the
Federat Government for that trarpone upon the *ub-
ject of slavery, for or again*! it. being contrary to
the doctrine of non-intervention, should receive the
unqualified disapproval of this Convention.
Jii*elccd, ltd. That when the people of Kansas,
who under the legal Territorial organization there
of, are entitled to exercise tho ciective franchise
fairly, without fraud within or intervention from
w ithout, make a constitution, and either directly
front a State Convention or a vote of ratification by
the people as they may choose, present the same to
Congrc-i and ask for udmi-don as a State, wheth
er tlm same ho foror against slavery, it is the du
ty of Congress to admit them, provided their con
stitution is otherwise republican in form.
NVhicb motion was laid upou tlie table.
The minority report was then offered as a sub
stitute for tho Srd Resolution, which after some
discussion was voted upon by counties with the
following results:
All the counties voting against thesnlistitute ex
cept the following:
Chattooga, Clarke, Floyd, Hall, McIntosh, Ogle
thorpe, l’oik, Pulaski, Union equally divided. J.
M. Sessions of Cherokee, J. NV. Ii. Underwood of
Flovd and G. NV Jordan of I'ula-ki, recorded their
votes against the substitute.
The lid, 4th and 3th resolutions were then put
and carried villi great unanimity.
Hoe. B. U iielianan of Cow eta offered the follow
ing resolution :
Resolved, That it in the sense of this Convention,
that the question of submitting the Constitution
that may be framed by tho Kansas Convention
when hereafter assembled to the people, pertains
wholly to that Convention alone. And should the
above mentioned Constitution recognise slavery in
Kansas, whether submitted to the [leople for ratifi
cation or rejection or not, and should Congress re
ject the application of Kansas lor ndmi.—ion into
tho Union on the ground that the Constitution was
ratified by the people, such action on the .part of
Congress would be a violation ot the principles of
the Georgia Platform of 18S0, the Kansas Ne
braska Bill and the Cincinnati Platform, and would
requite tbo adoption on the part of Georgi* of the
measures laid down as a. last resort in the Georgia
Platform, for a violation of the principles therein
on motion of Linton Stephens ol
:ontnincd.

Mr. Spalding of McIntosh asked to have hi* pro
test spread upon the records of the convention,
which reads as hollows:
Randolph Spalding of McIntosh protests against
that portion of the llrd Resolution, of the commit
tee of 21, that calls upon the President to remove
Mr. NValker.

The Convention met nnd proceeded to ballot.
At this time some diseu-ion arose which was par-
...» Unlike tlie gentleman who preceded him, h
ticipatcd in by Thomps of Elbert, Gordon of ChnHl (acquainted with Hon. Joseph E. Brown, had serv
ant, Ilillyer of NValton nndEvansof Decatur, inrela- with hint in the Senate, knew him to be a man
tion to the right of thealternatedelegates from Lump
kin to participate in casting tho vote of that county.
By a decision of the Convention alternates were al
lowed to act. The Convention then proceeded to

was then moved and lost.
9th ballot. Lumpkin 127, Gardner 172, Stiles 25,
NVarner 64.
Mr. G. A. Gordon, delegate from Chatham, rose to
make an explanation, lie said that it was weji
known that tue county of Chatham had been uni
formly supporting the Honorable NVm. H. Stiles
But the position of that county, and of the friends of
Mr. Stiles was misnuderatood’. It had not been the
intention of tlie friends of Mr. Stiles to present his
name at the opening of the convention. The names
of other gentlemen were more prominent, and they
had desired a free expression of the views of the con
vention iu reference to them before offering their
candidate for tlie sutferage of the convention, Chat

Tlie undersigned ask leave to have it stated oti

forced upon them before they had an opportunity
of lookiug into that document, aud note, on more
mature consideration ottlie subject, would say that
there are sentence* in that instrument that are
reprehensible, yet in our judgment nothing ho pul-
of sound principles, clear head, unquestioned abil
ity and speaking power* of the first order. The
reputation made by him as a member of the Legis
lature was ot the first order, lie is n man of un
exceptionable character, in every respect, public
or private. He is young ettougli for the services
of the campaign nnd fora long career of future use
fulness, and not too young for a matured judgment
aud prudent counsels. His fellow-citizens have
promoted him to the Judgeship of the Blue Ridgo
Circuit, in which position bis reputation ns n man of
intellect and integrity has steadily increased. He
comes from Cherokee, tlie stronghold of Dentocra-
cv, and the balance of the State take pride in nom
inating him as a proper tribute to them, and will

Tho President took the Chair and addressed tho
Convention as follows;
Gentlemen of the Convention, I congratulate you
upon the issue of your deliberation*. The platform
of principles you have adopted and the candidate
you have placed upon it will alike commend them
selves to the people of Georgia, and be endorsed
with unexampled unanimity. You have passed
through a long, arduous and excitiug contest. The
rival claims of opposing candidates have been hap
pily adjusted and Jos. E. Brown, of Cherokee," is
accepted by acclamation as tlie standard-bearer of
the Democracy. His nomination is equivalent to
Ills election. In the particular section which I in
part represent, he will be supported with unexam
pled cordiality. He is dear to us as the represen
tative of the Cherokee Democracy, but still more
as a man of blameless life, of high nnd [cultivated
iutcllcct, of firm purpose, and of unfaltering devo
tion to Democratic principles. Let us return to
otir respective constituencies, and present the
claims of our principles and candidate to the peo
ple in tho confident assurance that they will rally
to his and their support, and that tho October elec
tion in Georgia will present the spectacle so long
prayed for by good men of an undivided South.
Grateful fur the iin-uli-.-ited luumr vnuli.ne cen
tered upon me, in selecting me to preside over tiie
Convention, I have endeavored to discharge with
impartiality ail the duties of my station. Accept
my renewed acknowledgments for your partiality.
Your approbation is gratefully appreciated.

This Convention, representing the Third
Congressional District, deeply impressed with
the significance and tendency of events trans
piring in the Territory of Kansas, expresses
its deliberate judgment thereon as follows :
Resolved. That we have viewed with seri
ous concern, and with decided disapproval, the
course which has been pursued by the lion.
Robert J. NValker, since his appointment as
Governor of the Territory of Kansas—That his
Inaugural Address to the people of Kansas in
dicates a policy inimical to Southern interests,
and wc resent it as an unauthorized interven
tion between the parties into which tlie people
of the Territory are divided, aud an unwar
rantable dictation ; and a departure from that
position of strict neutrality upon tho subject
of slavery, which ought to be occupied by
Federal Officials in the Territories of the
Union.
Resolved, That wc content ourselves with
this emphatic condemnation of the Inaugural
of Gov. NValker, and trusting that events will
show it is disapproved by the Administration,
we refer the whole subject to the approaching
State Convention of the Democratic party, with
the confident expectation that it will take such
action in tho premises, for the protection of
Southern Rights, and the vindication of the
Democratic party of the State, as the emer
gency demands.
Resolved, That the proceedings of this Con
vention be published in the Empire State
Georgia Telegraph and Federal Union, aud
that the Democratic papers of the State be re
quested to publish the same.
On motion, adjourned sine die.

The Pensacola and U»o Georgia
RAIL ROAD.
I will be a source of lively gratification to
the people of Florida to know that a bona fide
commencement of cross tying and laying of
of iron on this end of Pensacola and Georgia
Rail Road, has transpired. NVc were present
and witnessed the interesting manipulation on
NVcdncsday last. The cargo of iron which
arrived a few days since at St. Marks, is be
ing transposed with all possible despatch to the
junction with the Tallahassee and St. Marks’s
Road, where it is immediately handled to sub
serve the purpose for which it was procured.
Mr. Cabell will leave in a few days, certainly,
for the North and probably for Europe, to*cou-
summntc arrangements for an additional
quantity of iron, which will soon be required
in the finishing progress of the work.
The recent improvements in and about the
Tallahassee Depot are quite manifest. It
does our heart good to see the' exertions of
many of ,our citizens to bless our city with
prosperity. The new Foundry established by
Messrs. Cardy, Baya & Co., the new steam
works of Jlr. Bowen for dressing lumber and
manufacturing of blind, sashes, &c., and other
enterprises of vast benefit to r®r community,
are prospering unddt the direction of some of
onr best men. who generously give their time
and money to forward the public good. As
an additional evidence of this fact we cite the
faultless construction of a passenger car design
ed for the Tallahassee and St. Mark’s Rail
Road. This car is one of the finest specimens
of mechanism that wc have seen in any por
tion of our country, constructed entirely of
Florida tanterials under the supervision of a
native Floridian. Mr. Hernandez, who deserves
all praise for his superior skill and State pride
as beautifully cxbibtcd in this creditable little
monument to his mechanical genius.
NVc understand that Col. Houston, the Pres
ident of the St. Marks road, will place this
new car on the track by the 4th of July, next,
when the citizens of Tallahassee will have an
opportunity of seeing and commending the
spirit of home industry that is directing the
minds of our own public men.—Floridian fy

Tlie State Convention.
The proceeding* of this body in full arc given
in the Telegraph to-dav. No intelligent man has
been surprised at tbe result, lie may not have an
ticipated the nomination of Judge Brown, but he
was prepared by the < age mess and pertinacity with
which names of fSJoritcs were urged, for a com
promise upon the common ground of ignoring the
claims of all of them. No wiser course could have
been pursued, and we rejoice that, high as were tbe
claims of the candidates for this nomination, the
State and tlie party can sustain no detriment in the
substitute the Convention lias proposed. From
what wc learn of Judge Brown, it was impossible
to have nominated a matt affording, in his own
character, more ample guaranties for a pure, up
right and able State Administration. A self-made
man—sprung from the masses of the people—with
out family influence, wealth or potential friends to
back him, he has, in early manhood, already risen
by the force of his own talents and energies—tlie
strength and integrity of his character—to high
judicial position, and now to the enviable distinc.
tion which has been freely accorded him. His
name is synonymous in his own region of the Stato
with all that is pure, honorable and true; and in
bis religious association lie is identified in sympa
thies and feelings with the most numerous religious
body in the State—the Baptists—in which connec
tion he is a leadingnnd enthusiastic member. Fresh
from the people and the bench—disconnected from
and independent of all personal and party clique!
un dcr no personal obligations fqr his unsolicited
nomination—independent,free and untrammelled—
in the early maturity of manhood—not forty years
of age—in the full vigor of a hardy mental and
physical constitution, toughened by collision with
the cragged and thorny obstacles which beset the
pathway upward of the ambitious, struggling child
of poverty and humble life—wc know n6 man wc
could support with more earnestness and enthusi
asm than Hon. JOSEPH E. BRONVX, of Cherokee,
lion. David J. Bailey.
Tlie Telegraph of last week, conjecturing that
Hon. David J. Bailey would be the nominee of the
Forsyth Convention, was barely (nailed, before in
formation came that this nomination had actually
been made. The Convention has done well. Their
work is entirely satisfactory to the party in this
District and we feel a strong confidence that it will
be ratified by the people. Tho distinguished nom- 4
ince needs no introduction ; he lias already repre
sented the District in Congress with marked ability,
and his elevation to the Presidency of the Senate
of Georgia, attests liis position in tiie State. NVe
place his namo at our mast-head with scarcely a
doubt that it will add another to the distinguished
list of Georgia Representatives in Congress, and
one too which will maintain an eminent place even
in that list.
7th and 8th Congressional Districts
The Hon. Linton Stephens has been nominated
to Congress by the Democracy of the 7th and Hon.
A. H. Stephens by that of the 8th District. Neither
of these brothers need a formal introduction to
the readers of the Telegraph.
Quoting the resolutions of the Third District Con
gressional Convention, tlie Savannah Republican
adds:
It will thus be seen that the Democracy of the
Third District nnd their organ at Macon are at
open war on this question, tlie latter having affirm
ed the policy of NValker as “ the usual proper and
fair course.” NVe will sec who is destined to crair-
Jith in that section—wc predict the party.
If by the “ organ at Macon ” the Republican
means the Georgia Telegraph, we beg him to show
us tc/ierc we “have affirmed the policy of NValker
ns the usual, proper and fair coarse.” On the con
trary, wc bare condemned it throughout in every
word penned upon his Inaugural, and the resolu
tions of the District Convention meet our entire
approbation.

Mr. Banks accepts, of course, the Know
Nothing nomination for Governor of Massachu
setts, and in doing it goes very gracefully
through all the motions for such cases made
and provided. It may be a question whether
for this he is not to be commended. In that
false 6tate of society in which all that apper
tains to human “freedom,” is supposed to live,
move, and have its being’ and where a little
observation aud reflection arc sufticie.it to show
him the whole structure is coming down about
the cars of those who are underneath, it i3 per
haps, the part of a wise mau to make as good
a provision for himself as possible. Jlr. Banks,
as well as any man iu Massachusetts, knows
the material that enters into the composition
of the “dear people,” and no ntan knows bet
ter tho art of making uso of it to his own good
purposes. NVc fancy him laughing quietly iu
his sleeve as lie wrote the following :
‘I have opposed with earnestness the policy
of the Slavery propagandists, and have endeav
ored as far as laid iu mv power to defeat their
pernicious measures, which were calculated, in
my judgment, to substitute for the toleration
of negro bondage in the States wero it now
exerts its universal and absolute dominion,
thus obstructing the success of every industri
al interest, and bending the Government itself
to a course of measures which could not fail to
cripple the prosperity and impair the dignity
of free labor.”
That is a bait that every man, who honors
the political sentiment of his state, can safely
bite at. For the beuelit of the know nothings,
to whom his letter is addressed, however, he
says that, “ upon the subject of foreign influ
ence, liis record is open and convictions un
changed, and that he is now ready, as hereto
fore, to concur with the people of Massachu
setts in every just measure that shall tend to
diminish this unnatural influence, and restore
to' the American people the full share of power
and direction which was designed for them by
the framers of this Government.” All of which,
of course, is respectfully submitted; and if the
sovereigns” of the old Bay State can’t unite
on this platform, and make Mr. Banks their
governor, it must bn the fault of their own
perverse understandings.—Charleston Courier.

ices of Worship in London,
Tlie Administration aud Walker’s
. COURSE IN KANSAS.
We stated in the last Telegraph on authori
ty of a private letter from Washington, writ
ten upon reliable information, in substance
that the course of Gov. NValker in Kansas, so
far as it conflicts with a just neutrality be
tween the parties on theslavery question there,
is in conflict with the principles, views and
wishes of the Administration aud entirely dis
approved. In addition to this assurance, of
itself leaving no space for doubt, we have the
following from tho NVashington Union of the
2 Itb instant:
KANSAS.
The country at large have been advised,
through thp mails and by telegraph, of a stud
ied determination on the part of those delu
ded citizens of Kansas who still madly cling
to the so-called Topeka Constitution to take
no part in the pending election contest in that
Territory. Friends of law ami order, men
who are actuated by the purest and most pa
triotic motives, haying in vain urged them to
vote for delegates to a convention to frame
State Constitution, there is nothing left but to
express regret for their folly, and to leave
them to the consequences which are likely to
follow their mischievous, if not dangerous ob
stinacy.
The position of the democratic party, and,
it is scarcely necessary to add. the position of
the Administration, in regard to existing diffi
culties ia Kansas, cannot be misunderstood.
It is that the people of the Territory have the
right to settle the character of their institu
tions. If a considerable or inconsiderable
portion of their number conceive that they c:
impair and ultimatoly destroy that right by
creating difficulties nnd disturbances, or by
taking no part in the elections, they labor un
der an error of which they cannot be too soon
disabused ; fur the democratic, conservative pot-
lion of the country will regard as the people
of Kansas only such as are now uniting to frame
a form of government in accordance tcUh the
provisions of law, and not those who are seeking
to paralyze the popular will by illegal subter
fuges and the quibbles of fanaticism.
Whatever the constitution may be—wheth
er recognizing or excluding slavery, or silent
in regard to the institution—it will be viewed
as the expression of the will of the people of
Kansas, as those icho frame it will act under
the federal constitution, and in a manner recog
nized by the organic law.
'Lite Administration, wc aro quite sure,
stands on the doctrine of non-intervention, in
the strictest sense of the term, and will insist
to the extent of its constitutional power that
the people of that Territory shall manage their
own affairs in their own way.

Most unhappy—most unfortunate ij it, tan J

principle or throw odium upon it, by a total p

would have been resonant with the clash of«
if NValker had gone there as energefic hi

if not checked, will bring discredit upon they
