Georgia now has within her limits a pop

institutions are identical with our own.—
Her Lunatic Asylum, her Academy for

Christian charity of her people. Nowhere
beyond her limits is there to be found a
purer gospel ministry, than is to he seen
in Her midst; and nowhere is the power
and influence of Divine truth mcuo &}t or
more respected. In view of theso, and all
the other evidences of her greatness, who,

cy a-day longer than this principle of c
• quality is recognized. Prompted by am
bitious leaders, who are willing to sacri
fice their country for place and power, a
majority of the people of the Northern
States have formed themselves into a great
sectional political party, which virtually
dchics our equality in the Union. This
Black Republican party is now struggling
hard for the reins of government. Its suc
cess would make the heart of the sturdi
est patriot tremble. But one obstacle
stands in the way of its triumph. The
National Democratic Party, like some no
ble ancient pyramid, with the Constitu
tion for its base, and its summit rising to
wards Heaven, has long stood, as a migh
ty Gibraltar, against which the waves of
fanaticism have lashed their fury, and been
broken and driven back. Some of its lea
ders, have, at times, proved treacherous ;
and like an army with unfaithful Generals
its columns have been broken, and its en
emies have pointed to its confused ranks,
and joyously proclaimed its destruction.
But so soon as its masses could be heard
at the ballot box, they have repudiated
such ambitious and unfaithful leaders, and
have hurled them from power; while,

Peterson’s Magazine.
We are in receipt of this popular Lady’s
Magazine for December. It is a splendid
number. “Petr- oon” has a circulation al
ready, of nearly 100,000, but will be great
ly improved in 1860. It -will contain about
1000 pages of double column reading mat
ter, 14stecl plates; 12 colored steel fashion
plates; 12 colored patterns in Berlin work,
embroidery or crochet; and 800 wood en
gravings—proportionately more than any
other periodical gives. Its stories and nov
elets are by the best writers. Its fashions
are always the latest and prettiest. Its
price is but Two Dollars a year, or a dol
lar less than Magazines of its class. Sub
scribe for it and save a dollar. To clubs,
it is cheaper still—viz: three copies for §5,
or eight for $10. To every person setting
up a club, the Publisher will send two
splendid engravings of Niagara, of a size
for framing.
One of our exchanges has an ar
ticle headed “ The Harper’s Ferry Dif
ficulty.” We don’t see the propriety of
the expression; (says the Mobile Mercury)
the conspirators found no difficulty in
seizing the armory ; the military found
no difficulty in capturing the conspirators;
the jury hare found no difficulty in con
victing Brown; the sheriff will find no dif
ficulty in hanging him; and the devil will
find no difficulty in providing for his ac
commodation afterwards.

ity and greatness. With' these truths,
they solve the problem before us, as they
read the history of nations; with these,
they gauge and weigh them respectively
in the scale of nations. The progress of
Refinement, the Arts and the Sciences are
the ornaments of the national structure, so
reared, and serve to attract the eye of the
beholder to the grand and interesting lo
cality.
Already, several States of the Union,
far inferior in climate, soil and natural re
sources to us, observing these great truths
have built themselves up by attending,
first, to their own affairs. Being built up
they have assumed the power of legisla
tion, the power of national defence and as
sault, and are domineering over us, and
dictating our law, Foreign and Domestic;
whilst we, flattered with the notion that
we arc a State, strong in purse, having the
power of resistance and of self-defence, are
living at a poor, dying rate. The evil is
upon us, the facts are before ns, and the
reasons arc assigned.
In our next, we will consider the Rem

is this about Mr. Ward humiliating his
country and himself by going to Pekin in
the way which accorded with Chinese law
and custom! The Americans, who know
how to make their rights respected by-
strong governments, know also how to
respect the peculiarities, or even prejudi
ces, of weak ones. They know that ia
China they have no right to insist upon
the observance of Western forms, and that
if the government at Pekin chooses to con
sider itsell of celestial origin;, and, there
fore, superior to the rest of the world, it
is no buisness of theirs to go to war with
it on that account, so long as- it performs
its engagements and acts in a spirit of
friendliness.
That it has done so towards Amer
icans is in no degree doubtful, for the A-
mericans have never bullied, bombard
ed, and extorted there, as wc unhappily
have done. As to the silly story, invent
ed by some witless Frenchman, of Mr.
Ward having been taken on to Pekin in
an enclosed box, it can impose upon no
body who has any knowledge of tlie ens-
tomary mode of travelling in China. The
Celestials have not arrived at the sort of
civilization which rejoices in express trains
post chaises or statu carriages, as means
of conveyance ; they’ use for that purpose
what was not long ago considered amongst
ourselves a far more dignified and grand

It certainly is humiliating to England to
find the United States so successfully ne
gotiating treaties with China, while she
herself in alliance with France, has so
egregiously failed. But how will it help j jq itabun,

deeper into the difficulty, and making Suc

of acting so foolishly, would it not be wi
ser to consider a little and sec whether w’e
might not, by adopting the method of the
Americans, succeed' as well as they ? It
is true, there is a terrible amount of in
juries to be atoned for before the Chinese
will come to consider the English as blam-

New Yors, Nov. 8.—It is believed that
the ultra Americans, who - were selected
from the Democratic and Republican tick
ets are generally elected. The Tribune,
however, 6ays that five State officers on
the American and Republican tickets arc
elected by large majorities, and the other
four are doubtful, but the Republicans are
probably elected. The new Senate will
undoubtedly be Republican, probably by
an increased majority. The Assembly
will also.be strongly Republican.
New Orleans, Nov. 8.—The American
majority is 2,500 in the city. The State
elections resulted in the election of nine
