We suppose that every one lias heard,
by this time, of tbe nomination of Bell for
President, and Everett for viee President-,
by the constitutional Union Convention,
which met at Baltimore. We give in this
week’s issue, the platform adapted by the
party, together with a full account of the
proceedings.
Georgia and the Major ty Platform.
Hon. H. V. Johnson.has published Blot
ter advising tbe Democracy of Georgia to
send delegates to Baltimore, and defending
the doctrine of non-intervention. Judge
Crook of Dalton, Judge Benning, of Col

letters sustaining the withdrawal by the
Southern delegates from the Charleston
Convention.
An Original Portrait of Washington.
From an editorial, in la6t Saturday’s
Chronicle if Sentinel, we learn, tlivt Mr.
Geo. A. Oates of Augusta, has probably
in liis possession, a p irtrait of Washington
taken from life. It came into the present
family, from another in Philadelphia who
had owned it for sixty years. It was ta
ken by Polk, a brother-in-law of Peak.
It is a three-quarters figure, and is said by
the. editor, to be one of the finest of all the
innumerable portraits, and engravings of
the original, which he has ever seen. The
face is not broad and expressionfess, as
60 many portraits of Washington; but
there i6 intellect stamped upon the lofty
brow, and decision and firmness in the
compressed mouth and lips.
Blind Tom Again.
Tom Oliver, the blind negro pianist, has
been astonishing tbe good people of Alba
ny Ga. the last week. Ife is not ten years
old, and has been blind from bis birth. He
plays any piece of music however difficult,
with as much accuracy as any experienced
Professor, and plays any kind of tune af
ter hearing it once. He play 6 “Fishers
Hornpipe” and “Yankee Doodle” at the
same time. He imitates the organ and fife
so well, that it is impossible to tell the
difference between the imitated and the
imitation. He can play upwards of twelve
hundred piece*; besides composing on
his own hook, and some of his best pieces
are original with him. At least if he can
not do all this the Albany Patriot says
he can.

How Will the Georgia Democracy Go I
The Intelligencer, the Col. Times, the
Macon Telegraph, the Marietta Advocate,
the Augusta Consti'utionalist, and the
Rome Southerner, are the only Demo
cratic papers in the. State, so far as we
at present are able to learn, that do
not applaud the secession of the South
ern Delegates from the Charleston
Convention. The last three openly oppose
tbe movement, while the others
mentioned have not fully declnred*thein
selves. From onr own exchanges it seems,
that the action of the seceding delegates
has excited more dissatisfaction in Chero
kee Georgia, than any other part of the
State. Tbe Southerner and Advocate’ are
both papers in that section, while the let
ter of Col. Wriglit, which we publish this
week, may be regarded also as another ev
idence of tbe feeling of that part cf the
State.
Dauiel Lee thus comments rather
severely upon an assailant in the Athens

careful study a young man can know but

liis name before tbe public, as tbe above
citations abundantly prove. But if he
wants my humble commendation of his
skill and experience in grass-culture to ap
pear in every number of the field if Fire
side, I submit whether lie should not insert
tbe matter as an advertisement*
The Rome Southerner suggests that
both of the next Democratic Conventions
unite npon Ex-President Pierce as a can
didate acceptable to both wings of the
Party. This paper, from specimens which
we give from its editorial on the recent
separation in the Party at Charleston,
seems to be in quite a savage humor witL
all sides.
“Sweeten squatter sovereignty with tbe
Presidency, and offer it to Cobb, Davis,
Toombs,.Hammond or any others, and they
will swallow it without a grunt. As for
the opposition leaders that are so rampant
against squatter sovereignty, they would
eat the devil whole it thev were sure ot a
suck at the public teat with which to wash

The Cliristiau Life.
We invite attention to the advertisement
of Mr. on-.. wood this week. The pub-1
liblied testimonials to the merits cf the
•‘Bunyau Tableaux,” are as numerous as
newspapers in every town w here it lias
been exhibited. We advise all to brush
up their acquaintance with Pilgrim’s Pro
gress in rime to enhance, by su'doing, tbe
pleasure of looking'on this celebrated Puu
aramar The artichrwlrich we giv®’ below
is from tbe Charleston Courier.
I he’ Bunyau Tableaux were iiinrblled
last evening at the Institute Hall in the
presence of a thin audieuce. The small
number assembled was a cqupigpfent to
the work of art, for the rain that tell about
tea time, and the threatening appearance
ot tbu clouds, made us despair of witness
ing the exhibition; we were. surprised to
find any .one at the. ball. Rut though
there were mafiy vacant chairs, those that
were occupied were filled by persons who
could appreciate alike the meaning of the
scenes, and tiie superb 6tyle in which they
are depicted. Every eye.was fastened on
the painting, in iapt and wandering admi
ration, and so profound was tbe impression
it produced that the audience was as adept
during tbe intervals .between the parts as
wjieri the glorious picture was passing be
fore their gaze. We congratulate Mr.
Greenwood on the Snccess that attended
bis first exhibition; and can promise him
not only select but also laige audiences
if the Northwest wind will blow away the
clouds and'heat and bring fait weather.. .
The pleasure of beholding Panoramas is
.often maned by the. huui-dnim descrip
tions and wordy platitudes of those who
are set to enlighten the audience on their
merits and beauties. Mr. Greenwood, we
aie liappy to say, does not belong to this
class of lecturers. His observations are
pertinent and in good taste, his explana
tions clear and admirably suggestive, and
be touches upon the most striking features
of the pictures with a refined delicacy , al
most apologizing in his modest manner for
alluding to them at ail.
The pictorial representations of the glo
rious old tinker's dream covers over a
thousand feet of canvas, and is the joint
production of the most gifted artists ot
onr country. Among those whose pefi*
cils were employed in producing the woh-’
devful allegory are May, Kyle, Duggajt,
Darley, Dallas and Huntington.
We cannot indiilge ourselves at present
in a full description of these admirable se
ries of paintings. Our pleasure increased
with every new scene, from the niomeht
we beheld the prisoner of Bedford lying
near the den, his noble face .lighted up by
tbe radient mist that rolled up just below
his teet, to the time we gazed upon th ogor
geous closing picture’ of the white robed
Christiana, conducted by shining ones up
tbe golden steps toward the portal through
which streams a of effulgent light,
and on each side of which stand rank on

ry A letter wag addressed from Macon,
Ga., to the Hon. A. It. Wright, by several
distinguished men, (among them,'A. E.
Cochran, W. R. DeGrafienreid, Joseph
Chisley and James A. Nisbet,) invoking
his counsels in the present crisis, and ask
ing permission to publish his views. The
following is the reply :
BAMSOFOosTANAULA.(XearRome)i>
May 7th, 1860.
Messrs. Robert Collins. John J■ Gresham
and others — Gentlemen —Your letter, ask
ing “my views candidly and promptly, at
the alarming state of things developed in
the Democratic Convention at Charleston,”
was received to-day i
I feel complimented by your request;
coming, as it does, from fit representatives
of one of the most intelligent and patriot
ic communities in the State.
I concur fully ir. the sentimeiits of your
letter. “The discord and disorganizing
spirit which prevailed there, threaten the
integrity and overthrow of the Democrat
ic party.” Np reflecting mind can shut
out the painful.truth, that “the signs of the
tiroes” portend, dissolution, anarchy, and
chaos. It is a fearful crisis. The uation
,al Democracy was never in greater peril.
She has never required of her faithful sons
sterner sacrifices, or more undaunted cour
age. Let us hang on to the noble old ship
while there is a plank afloat, or the fragr
rnent of a spar on which to stretch a sail.
The secession at Charleston was a move
ment both false and fraudulent. It puj-.
ported to be upon a principle when it w ap,
manifestly, to defeat the nomination of a
man, the choice of the majority of the
Democracy. There was not one of them,
who, it he could have gotten his .man,
would not have taken the Cincinnati
platform, simple.
As the matter now stands, if no further
action is taken by the Convention, Mt.
Douglas is incontestihly the choice of the
majority of the party, and as such ought to
be supported. The Democratic party
contains not within i*s ranks, a truer, a
greater, or a braver man. He has borne
her banner to victory in a hundred bat
tles. v 11
With the great leading principle of the
Cincinnati Platform, “nonintervention by
Congress with the subject of slavery in
the States and Territories and Digfrict „f
Columbia,” he will wave jt again over the
fallen cohorts of Black Republicans and
revoluticnistsv - I- uiost jmafrtily concur,
however, in tbe sentiment, that the Statt
ought to be represented at Baltimore.
Let ns move harmoniously if we eati.
Tbe mission of the Democracy is the safe
ty of the Bonth and the salvation of the
Union. May the God bf onr CSnntfy; she
God of trujth and right, gpide her councils
and enable her to accomplish her work.
. With highest consideration. 7

Baltimore. May’ 18— the Convention
met at 10 o'clock a. m., and ws called to
order by the Chair. As on yesterday,
the building was crowded, ain>the great
est enthusiasm prevailed. A large num
ber of ladies filled the west gallery, and

Houston, dated Austin, Texas, March 25
4t-which he declines to be the nominee of

dency.
Mr. Brooks, of ‘New York, stated that
the Hon. Joseph R. Ingersoll, ot Pennsyl
vania, bad been chosen-as Chairman of the
Committee on Business, and he was inform
ed was now prepared to report.
THE PLATFORM.
Whereas, Experience has demonstrated
that platforms adopted by the partisan
Convention'S of the country have had the
effect to mislead and deceive the people,
and at the sane- time to widen the political
divisions of the country, by tbe creation
and encouragement of georgaphical and
sectional parties; therefore.
Resolved, That it is both the part of
patriotism and of duty to recognise no poli
cal principles, other than
The Constitution of the Country.
The Union of the states, anu
The Enforcement of the Laws ;
and that, as the representatives ot the
Constiutional Union men of the, country
iu National Convention assembled, we.
here pledge ourselves to maintain, protect
and defend, separately and unitedly, those
great principles of public liberty’and nation
al safety, against ali enemies, at borne and
abroad, believing that thereby peace may
once more be restored to the country, the
just rights of the people and of the States
re-established, and the Government again
placed in that condition ol justice, fratern
ity and equality which, under the exam
ple and constitution of our fathers, lias
solemnly bound every citizen of tlie Uni
ted States to maintain “a move perfect
union, establish justice, insure domestic
tranquility, provide for the common de,
ifence, promote the general welfare, and
secure tbe blessings of liberty to ourselves
and our posterity.”
Mr. Brooks, of New York, moved that
the vote be taken oil the platform.

declared unanimously adopted, amid much
enthusiasm and applause. •
