THURSDAY MORNING,

A PROPOSITION.
Being desirous to extend the circula
tion of our paper, and in lieu of issuing
a campaign paper, we make the follow
ing liberal proposition.
We will send the Standard to all per
sons who wish to subscribe for it any
time during tbis month, (August) at the
following rates, which must be paid in
advance :
For one year, . ... $1 75.
For six months, .... 90.
The amount can be remitted in motiev
or postage stamps. Will not our friends
exert themselves a little in our behalf 2
Remember tbis proposition only contin
ues until the 1st of September next, af
ter which time our usnal lates will be
charged.
TO OUR PATRONS-AN
OFFER.
We are determined to give you the
best paper that our energy and close at
tention can make it; and in doing so
we expect you to back us with material
aid. Your subscriptions with us date
from the 1st of February last, (except
those who have become subscribers
since) six months having expired. Our
terms are $2 in advance—$'2 50 after
the expiration of six months, or $3 at
the end of the year. We now make you
a fair proposition, and one that you will
make money by accepting—that is, we
now extend the time to the 1st of Sep
tember—one month longer—during
which time we will receive $2 as ad
vance payment, which any of our sub
scribers can remit us by mail. Don’t
neglect this; you can save yourself 50
cts. or $ 1 by making tbe payment or re
mittance during the month of August.
Will you not thank us for this proposal,
and accept of it at once 2 If you de not,
don’t blame us hereafter for insisting
upon our terras.
naii platform and Mr. Buchanan’s letter
of acceptance and inaugural address.—
The American party have, again and
again, warned the country against these
dangerous and anti Southern doctrines,
and having already taken our position
upon them, we submit that position to
the people of Georgia for their decision,
and tbe vindication of the correctness of
our came and the patriotism of our mo
tives.”
What a change has come over the
“spirit of your dreams” in two short
years! Can any man in his light mind,
believe that you are governed by princi
ple ? It is impossible. Two years ago
you denounced any man as an “ unfit
member of the American party” who
opposed tbe principles of the Kansas
Nebraska act, and that you considered
such opposition “ hostility to the consti
tutional rights of the south.” On the 8th
ult. you allege in Convention assembled,
that the principles of the Cincinnati
platform—of Mr. Buchanan’s letter of
acceptance and inaugural address, and
the principles of the Kansas Nebraska
bill are “identical,” and that vou have
“ again and again warned the country
against these dangerous and anti South
ern doctrines.” We must deny seeing
(lie “patriotism of your motives” that in
fluenced you two years ago or that
which influences you now. if you were
honest two years age in the position you
then took, you must excuse us if we be
lieve yon to be dishonest now. This is
one point in many upon which you and
I aie not agreed.
Having all my life been a Democrat,
(though differing with them two years
ago on some questions) but now agree
ing with them fully upon all the impor
tant questions of Southern and Demo
cratic faith, it becomes far more easy
and more pleasant to fully eo operate
with those with whom we have hereto
fore acted, and with whom we are now
fully agreed—than to follow a party

If time and his explanations do not furnish
something in bis justification more than we
now have, he will stand convinced of treach
ery, not only to the Democracy, but to the
whole South. His appointment of Walker
will mark the time when a Democratic ad
ministration first used the power of the Fed
eral Govertment, and by usurpation, to
crush tbe life out of the South. We may
safely conclude that iu the language of Mr.
Webster, .it is written over the door of the
Capitol, no more slave States.’ Whenever
any Territory of the United States is in the
least danger of adopting a Constitution tol
erating slavery, what other expedients may
fail to accomplish, will be left to a Govern
ment Agent, armed with its powers and its
patronage, and he will see that it is admit
ted a free State. This will be done, and the
Kansa8-Nebruska bill still in fcrce upon the
statute books, tut without any utility what
ever, only as a monument of northern infi
delity
When once settled that the Federal Gov
ernment has placed us under the ban, one
violation of our rights after the other will
be made, until slavery will have no exist
ence or protection, save in the States where
it exists, and there dependent entirely upon
the local law. The Federal Government
will be no shield, but a sword for it. both
| at home and abroad. With the rapidity of
admitting new States, the power against us
will continue to increase. We will he crip
