(times ant* Sentinel. ! CQLUMHUS, GEORGIA. SATURDAY EVENING* MAY 12, 1855. The .viTHniiiiii Republican and the Prtsiden* tial Question. We nrc glad to see that a portion of the “Union Republican’’ party are opening th. ir eyes to the evils that threaten the South from tho continued encroach tnents of the b. htioniats. Tho Savannah Repnbli can, of a late date givs very free expression to its apprehension of the dang-rrs that environ the Kansas question. “In ti e course of the mxt Ir si lent al term,’’ says th** Republican , ‘ the Kansas question will have tube inet and decided. * * * Ail the South r< quires is that the people of Kansas, when they apply for admi-sion into the Union as a State, may be received, whether their constitution shall tolerate or prohibit t’.e institution of slavery * * * It ia evi dent, heavier, that ihu anti slavery party at the North is not dispored to ie rgan ze it. and th.it it is tra shahng its fore* • from Maine to the Rocky Mountains to put it aown, so far at least as it applies to K mass and Ne braska. ‘ It is equally evident, that :he South will nut stand i id’y by and -e this grektand vital principle repudiated. She will claim, and if need be be, insist to the lat ex tremity, that Kansas or any other territory shall be left tree to determine the character of her institutions so long as she conforms to the Federal Constitution. Upon this point there can b.* no doubt.’’ In there views we m<>st heartily concur. The dan ger to be apprehended from this collision between the Norih and the S >u:h upon the Ktnsas question is g vat and imminent, though we may shut our eves to it, and waste our energies iu pettv squabbles among outs Ives ; and demands the undtvid and a<t ntmii and j nut action of the people of the South. We have, heretofore, time and again, < ailed public attention to it and suggested ! the polcy of calling a Southern Convention to prepare for the conflict. Such a convention, however, would be harmful rather than b u< ficial unless theie is “a union oful! hearts to promote thecoun'ry’s prosperity.’’ The scorn with which the Whig press of the Slate re cetv. and our proposition, convinced us that the time had not yet come to urge the policy of a Sou.hern Convene ti*n. Since this conviction was forced upon us, we have kept silence on the subject, but have watched the signs of the times with the greatest anxiety. The first gleam of sunshine that lias fallen across our path is this article from the Savannah Republican We hail it as a happy omen though we cannot approve the policy recommended. What, th-n. is the duty of the South ? asks the Republican, aud answers—“why, 1 * nn rge all minor and fferences, and to unite upon some Northern tmn who can carry the Stat*s of New York. Pennsjlvania and New .Jersey, at least.” So far, good, though vre cannot A*.*e why California, Illinois, New Hampshire and other Northern Slates, which have, in the main, supported the South, are not included in the (■•‘alogue. The next step of the Republican is a false one. It ■ays ; “But who is the man for the emergency ? This question is more easily asked than answered. We are willing, however, to take either Mr. Fillmore, or Mr. Dickinson, or any other equal y rel able man, who can carry the Statis mentioned above, Mr. Fillmore, i6 stronger in those States probably than Mr. Dik>nson, though we believe with an open field and the question fairly sated, either could carry them against Mr. Seward In looking for “the man for the emergency/’ wo would not confine our search to men who are it flucnti.d in the three States mentioned. There are good and true men in all the Northern States, w!-.o?e claims ought to be considered, and whose merits ought to be recogniz and by the South. More especially is it bad p licy to rely up on politicians 1 ke Fillmore and Dickinson who are id* n* tifi and with small cl'ques and have been proven to be powerless ven in their own States. Indeed we are opposed to designating any particular man, as “the man for the emergency’’ at the present time. Time enough for that when the South lias m-rged ad minor differen ces and agreed to co op tate together in the defense of Southern lighis. Hoc opus; hic labor est. If this work is not done, all vise that we may do w ll come to nought. Will the Republican address itself to th ; s view of the case, and tell us how it p r oposcs to unite the South. A political friend suggests that this may be ac complished by running a Southern man fur the Presi dency. But what Southern man has the confidence of all parties 1 That's the rub. In our view the man is the las’ th'ng to look for. The union of the South is the one thing needful now. No a* ore SilTc Mu es. “The Legislatures of several North rn States - Mas •achusetts, New Y>rk, Connecticut and others—have passed resolutions,” says the N. Y. Herald, “d.daring, among other tilings, that there shill be “no mure slave States.” If th.s doctrine prevails in the North, they will have the power to enforce it in C aigl et*. |>ut it is easy to see that the attempt to enforce it will put us upon the high road to disunion. The only gua.antee which jan now insure the perpetuity of the Union, is something like a balauce of power to the South, as a breakwater in the geiier.i g v.rnuieot against the ag gressions of the North. This baLnce, before the ad mission ot California, tho South possessed in the Senate ; f)l t the United States; but the add tiou of Cal t'ornia to ! the free States has destroyed th.s equilibrium. The j South desires, therefore—and they have tte right to admission of another slaveholding State, to re* store this lost tqui ibriurn of forces in the Senate. “ To this ecd we may expect to see Kansas, within a year or two, kuocking foi admission iuto the Union. Should the North refuse to admit her, in the event ot a constitution recognizing the existence of slavery, we are hurried to the ul-imate question of union or disun ion. Ihe moment the Sou h d.scovers that the power of the North in Congnss j a u, [,, devoted to the “crushing out’’ the institution of slavery, the alternative of secession comes up in a palpable shape And this is the drift ot this Kansas imbroglio. “All this mock philanthropy about human freedom, liberty, and the horio:s of Southern slavery is m< is stuff auo nonsense. ‘I he rtal questinu is union or dis union. The Afnoan race, whether an slaves in the Sooth or “free coloied Americans'’ in the Noith, occu py the pos lion, socially and politically, of an inferior sace, and properly so, and simply because the gr.at Creator has made them an inferior ifcce. ‘ In the same commodity with the white man, the black, eushvtd or emancipated, must forever occupy a degraded position. In a commodity purely African, even the civilu and black relapse again to African ind >lence at| j barbarism.

Th* three m llior sos the Afrit an race, the most enlightened and the happiest in tho wOrltl, are the three million slaves of bur Southern Stat* ?. ‘•This cry of slavery, the horrors of slave, s‘op the ex tension of slavery, is therefore a mockery and R duced to its final const quinces, it means disruption, disunion, a war of sections, a war of rae-s, fire and sword, anarchy and indisciiminate slaughter. And these ultimate consequences are interwoven into tin treacherous web of this Kansas controversy. The sec tional agitations, jealousies, and revenges ofhalfaem tury, are concentrated in this Kansas question. The I beginning is ominous—the end will be disastrous if right or wrong, just or unjust, there arc to be “no more slave Statts.” Irishmen and Catholics at the Polls. We learn from the Mobile Register that at tho re cent election of Judge of Probate in that city, some hundreds of Irish voters flinched, while of oik* hnn ired who did vote, it is said that fully seventy Toted the Know Nothing t eket-. To these the Adveriiser, a Know Nothing organ, makes its acknowledgments in the following paragraph : “It is al-to due to justice to say that despite efto ts rn ide to com dtietWforeign’ vote a ;ai it the American ca ididute, •many of our adopted cmze is went deliberately to the pulls and cast their vote- tor Mr Hitehco k Under all the eireum tanees.-ueh independence aid n a iliness on Uv-ir puit is de-erving of all praise. We are ee.taiu that they w.ll not regiet tlie.r action in this re.aid ” “We have here u new reading of the maxim that ‘Americans must rule America,’ —the ‘d—d Irish’ are wry clever,‘ind pend*nt and manly’ fellows, when they vote on the right side, and ‘they will not r gtvt it,’ quoth Mr. Slic'ks organ. We do not know wh ‘liter they will or not. Certain it is they have vot. and against their own religion, and tho rights of their own blood ; and certain it is, that they have i eluted one of M . Sink's humbugs, that they stand in so great awe of the Pope that they cannot vote a* tiny pi ase. It seems they dread the loss of vvoik. a perverted public stnti ment running against th ui, the influence of a K N. press, and certain undt-fl led ideas of hous<s pud and down m the dead of night, over the heads of their inhabi tants, and the latter flying in the midst of showtrs of bullets—much more than th*y do tha bulls and anath.- mas of tho Pope of Rome. Well we do not blame them. It is not • y to find fault with a huudful of poor men. dependent for their bread upon employment, to he had at the lianda of a whole community banded together to ostracise, persecute and trample upon them. It is in poor human nature always to quail before power, and we cannot expect a Roman virtue in uneducated men so circumstanced. “T e Germans and Jews, says the Register , voted manfully on the side of the party that stood forth to de fend them. The most surprising part of the business is that a number of native Catholics did not vote.— How these gentleman can expect others to make sacri flees to defend their relgious privileg-s when they will defend themselves, is a proposition we leave for not re flection and solution.”— Mobile Register.

The S ory of the 0 unpaign. w.it en in a tent in the Ciimea is continued. The article upon the dsith of Nicholas is concieved in a manly spirit and docs tardy justice t<> this wonderful man. Ti.e ind*c.mt j-y manifested by the Bii ish p >pu!a< e on the occasion of b a death is pro pei!y tebuked. The review of Chut lea Dickens and his works is a capital one. The II viewer attributes his popularity to the fact that he is the novilist f th*- middle class of English people which is, of course, much ih* largest in England a elsewhere. There is an ex e Ih-ut article upon the l)r*ss of the Soldier, ami though the wr.ter does not acknowledge the fact, his improve ments in uniform were nearly ail suggest*d by th*- diess for the e Idiers of the United States ; at least our uniform would supply the defects pointed out in th- B itish system. Will it be believed that the Biitish troops in the Crimea wear shakos for a cap and cany a wood n bot le for a canteen ? No wonder British troops die in the Crimea. There are other articles of some interest. In the article upon the death of Nicholas, there is a very dear intimation that the advice of Louis Kossuth as to the mode of carrying on the war has made a pro found impression even upon the ultra tory intellects ot Gnat Britain. The passage referred to is in these words : “If Germany joins against Russia, ns we hope and eventually believe she will, Poland will be restored to some kmd of nationality —so far, no dout, as is really practicable. Hungary will also bo restored, and more easily, for the young Emperor of Avstria, who has not personally offended the Hungarians, has nothing to do but to restore to them their ancient rights, and become King of Hungary to them instead of Emperor of Aus tria, to secure their ass ctione, and give its pristine strength to that right arm which, as against Russia, is now paralysed ” If the Allies are driven from the Ci imea, of which there is now every probability, there will be no other point of attack upon Russia except on the Polish fron tier, and to maintain themselves they will be driven to the necessity of reconstructing the ancient kingdom of Poland. If they can succeed in detaching Russian Poland from Russia and P.useian Poland from Prussia, the Emperor of Austria wotfid doubtless very readily <onßent to be Kng of Poland over that part of the kingdom it holds, if the balance of the kingdom is given as a bribe. Court of Claims. We learn, says the Washington Union of the 9th inat., wiih much pleasure that the vacancy in tnis couit, caused by the non acceptance of the Hon. J. H. Limp *in, of Geor gia has been tilled by the appointrnet of tne Hon. George P. Scarburgh, the present able professor of municipal and con stitu ional law in the college of VVilJiam & Mary, at Wil liamsburg, Virginia. e think we have great reason to congratulate the try on tne wise and judicious selection by the President, for this important station, ot a gentleman so emnun ly fitted to disetiaige its outies with ciedtt to himself, and with honor, we confidently piedict, to tne bench on which he has been placed. Judge Scarburgh is a native of the ea tern sh re of Vir gmia and a ter having wuii tor himself a high reputation as a lawyi rin that ancient Common wea th, by long practice in hei co. rts, in 1 ‘44 he w’as elected by the general assem oly of die rotate to tiii the vacancy made by the resignation <>t tne Hon Thomas H. rtayly as judge of the then third judicial circuit, ‘i h : same post had previously been field by ttis Hon Abel P. Up hur. it will not be regardt tl a an unde erved compliment w hen we say that Judge Scar burgh’s decisions are held by the profession in as hi-h esteem a> titose oi the very oi in guished gentleman we have last named. In 1851 Judge S. was elected to the law prole— sort-hip ot William it Mary College by the visitors oi that time-ho.n red institution—a station he has held up lo this p* r.od, and one which had pn viou.-ly been adorned by the name- of Lhanaellor Wyihe, JSI.Ge ngeand Beverly 1 usk- er. He has been highly succe.-sful as a teacher m thegicat science to winch his n e has been devoted, as ail can testify who have had a : .y acq laintaoce with the ueid of his labors Judge Scarb rph has never mingled actively in party H politics, i.oi so Id any merely political office, State or letiu Ml. His me tal training has been entirely legal and judi cial. VV hen we ad ito ihis his blameless lire, tree iroin eve i he suspicion of taint, we are waranted in saying that tile P.esideut has been pcculiaily loitunate in the selection he has made for this high’pO't ; and we belive that the conn try ut large, wiihout distinction of party, will give him credit lor patiiotism arid purity of motive in all nis appoint ments to this nnporiant eou t. ‘Trie number ot judges is now compi te, and as all the gentlemen appointed are now in the city, there will be no further delay, which up this tune his been nn avoidable, in the organization ot thi- court. ’1 heir first labor w ill tie u> e-iablish the rules of procedure, and other necessary pre liminary business, preparatory to their meeting for the hear ing ot cases.

The famous Kinney expedition case came up yesterday in the United States Distiict Court, before Judge lngersoll. it had been legularly set down for tiial for the 7th ot May Colonel Kinney, his associate in th** enterprize, Mr. Consul Fabens, a large number ot the fillibust* ros, argiicuiiurists, cr colonist-, interested in the matter, aud several eminent fcounsel in their behalf, were all present in court, and the intensest interest w a-* manifested in the proceedings. Mr McKeon.lhe United States District Attorney, moved,h nv tver, that the ca e be po tponed tor this term, so as to * nai le him to procure the attendance ot two witnesses, resident or usually to be ound in Philadelphia, whom he had endeav ored to subpoena, but who were, when the Deputy Marshal proceeded theie tor the purj o-e, absent from ihe city. The counsel tor the accused oppo-ed that motion; represented to the Court that this day had been formally set down i>r the trial of the case, that they were ready aud anxious to proceed with it, that the charteied steamer was to have left this po t on that day, that sot each subsequent day of her dete tiou the accused pm ties wou .dhaveto pay some $1,500 for her demurrage, that some tour or tive hundred of ihe expeditionists were lesiding here at an expense of sl,- 000 a day.jthat tuither delay would have the effect of break ing up an expedition which was in it-elf peaceful and legal, and lhat, moreover, the testimony of those abov t witnesses cou and not be interred to be v.-ry important, as the Grand Jury had found a bill of indictment without it. Mr. Cut ting. who was associated with the District Attorney, on be halt ot the republic of Nicaragua, or of its reputed Minister, replied to the*e objections and supported the motion to postpone. Judge lngersoll took the same view ot the mat ter as that taken by the consel for the defence, and decided that the rea-ons alleged by the District Attorney for the postpoi ement were not sufficient to induce him to reverse the order hitherto made as to the day of tiial; that it would be a great hardship to the accused parties to do so, aud that the prosecuti >n must proceed The District Attorney then moved that the case be sent to the next United States Dis trict Cou i, bat that was also refused ; aid a sui.-equent motion to it to another day in this term met with th e same result. The Di-tnct Attorney then declined to pro ceed with the prosecution, unprepared as he deemed he was; and the Judg--, in that state of the ca e, ordered the recog nizances ot me p irt.e-*, (SIO.oOO each.) to be discharged, and Me-sis.
