bomb shell* into the rank* of Know Nothingism, and the Democratic party of Georgia has been aroused and organ ized, and are about to meet in Convention How in this ? Way has this patriotism slumbered so long? Why wait un* til the position of certain Whig leader* was known? Why wait until jun on the eve of the Democratic Convention? Was it to be supposed that the Democraticic party of Georgia, with its seventy ibur counties, represented by one hundred and seventy five delegates, assembled in Milledge ville, ready for action, flushed with ardent hop3 of suc cess, in a patriotic cause, would disband, go home and re pudiate their organization, at the bidding of the Temper ance Hall meeting? How could it reasonably be expected, that such a request would be complied with? So far from making us “one |;ople and one party,” nothing has ever occ irred in cur State, so calculated to divide and distract public sentiment. If the known'patriotism and character of*those who lea I in this “movement” did not raise a presumption aga.in.-t such a motive, I would conclude, that schism, and heart b irning and angry strife, were the effects they desired to prodice. I* or these, to the minds of the dispassionate, Will lie its legitimate fruits. In the spirit of eobr, but ear* ne-t appeal,! would warn the people against it. It ta fraught with mischief, and mischief only. I consider the people of Georgia pledged to the provis ions of the 4th Resolution of the Georgia Platform. It wpeaks the sovereign voice of the State, and we owe it the homage of allegiance. The ‘Democratic Party of Geor gia re-united with their National Democratic fbrethren in the Baltimore Convention upon the understanding, that they would, on their part, adhere to the principles of the Compromise. They have done so; and so long as they continue to do so, we are, in honor, bound to stand by tthem—certainly bound to stand by them until it shall be demonstrated, that our alliance with them is unavailing for the protection of our rights under the Constitution.— ‘1 herefore, to resolve ourselves into a sectional organiza tion, irt advance of any of the contingencies enumerated in that 4th Resolution, i? virtual disloyalty to it, and a practical tepudation of the terms on which the Georgia Democracy went into the Baltimore Convention. To do either, is incompatible with good faith and sound policy. In a popular government like ours, two parties will al ways exist, based severally upon a strict and latitudinoue construction of the Federal Constitution Call them by what names you will, this great touchstone will indicate their ident ty. Such parties, in this country, are co-eval with the fo.mation of our political system. The one is the Democratic or Republican, and the other is the Whig or Federal party. Their struggle for supremacy has been continued, with earnest zeal, throughout our entire history. The Democratic party has generally been in the ascenaan cy. It has oiiginated nearly all the great measures which have shaped the policy of the government. Indeed, it has always, with two or three exceptions, been emphatically the party of the administration, and, guided by the r le of strict construction, has regulated the Tariff, opposed a sys tem ol Internal Improvements, supplanted a National Hank, conducted our wars with foreign powers, and enlarg ed our borders by territorial acquisitions. It is ancient, fixed and unchanging. Its principles find a response in the deep intentions of the popular mind. It is the party of progress, because it gives the largest freedom to individual enterprise, industry and capital, that is compatible with the geneial weal. Hence, whoever oppose it, under whatso ever party name they may be associated, oppose {he Demo eratie party. I respectfully ask you, whether it is desirable for this party to be overthrown? Is it judicious to encour age ands rengthen the opposition to it? Looking at the great fundamental principles on which it rests—the princi ples of popular rights and popular sovereignty,—would not its annihilation be a public calamity? Strike out its histo ry from our national annals; erase ita measures from our State and Federal legislative records, and what would you have left? Scarcely anything to awaken the pride of an American, or command the respect of foreign powers. Yet by the 4th Resolution of the “Columbus Movement,” you distinctly seek to annul this great national party. Is this wise? Is not the experiment fraught with incalculable danger? I subscribe cordially to the sentiment of the 3d Reeolu ! tion, adopted by the “Temperance Mall meeting,” that‘‘the I time has arrived when our fellow citizens should cease from ! their dissensions, end forget the differences which have separ- ; ated them; and that a common danger and a common enemy 1 should unite us (or oar common defence sad safety.” So I thought the late Democratic Convention* and for the pur’ I pose of effecting this object, as nearly as possible, they did not bring into prominence, the characteristic measures and ; principles ol the Democratic party, as issues in the present j canvass. But, considering them as having “become the ; filed and settled policy of the country,” they declare, that i they “no longer afford grounds for continued operation and ! conflict” between Southern Whigs and Democrats. Hence, 1 leaving them, as it were, in the background, they asked “the eo*jperatien of ail citizens of Georgia, regardless of all party distictions” upon the “questions of paramount im portance,” which ere forced upon us, by recent political de velopments, and which involve our “common defence and safety.” Now, if you and the irieuds of the Columbus movement approve of that platform, why not etsnd upon it ? If sound, why should any man oppose it, or oppose those who advocate it ? i put the question to every ,cairn, dispassionate man in Georgia. Shad pride o! opinion, shell party prejudice, shall even persona! dislike to men stand be tween patriotic duty and our Country’s good ? L mean no disparagement, by auv of tnv remarks, to the patriotism end s-ouudneae of Southern “Know Nothings.” i am inexorably opposed to the Order, opposed to itsseeresr and to its j rinc.ples of religious and political proscription. I would not insinuate, however, that Southern gentlemen, because they belong to that party, are, therefore , unworthy , of confidence, in reference to tlurgreat que-tioas which are now pressing upon ub for action and decision. But I do think that the suggestion ot the “Columbus movement” would have appeared more plausible, and certainly n@t!ese mode t, if it had not ventured to put forward a platform.— Is it n.idbten made immediately atter northern Know Noth ingism ha t achieved those victori e. so hostile totaouthern rights,and had simply made a call for all ths friend* of the South in Georgia, without distinction of pa ty, to meet and organize as “one people and one party,” for the nt&int.iin* auce of the Constitution, it would have seem*d appropriate eron it not reponded to. Tne agents of that “movement’, took no alarm, however, while “Know Nothingism” was cutting its t iumphaut march through s.ud over the friends ot the South ; but it was attor its ho ts became dismayed, in this State, by the open denunciations of the Whig leaders. Not only this, but they lay down their platform to suit them selves, and ask ail Georgia to rally to that, and to do so, with uuanimi y. Bit it may be a-ked, is not the plat'orin very good ? Gran? it. So is the platform of the late Demo er itic Convention, ju tas good—l think far better. Cer tainly, then.it is quite as reasonable, for our Columbus friends to t ome to ours, as lor all the State to go to theirs. It is easier tor Mahomet to go to trie, mountain, than for the mountain to go Mahomet. But why promulgate a plat form at all, if they wanted to lay a?side alt former causes of difference, and bring about fraternal union among the people ot the State ? Did they not know that it would eu gander di-eu-sion ? and that discussion would engender sehi-un? and that schism would defeat the mifleniums? In respon-e, tnereto;*, to their call, 1 earnestly invite you and aii the friends ot the “ olumbus movement,” and aii constitu*- tional natio al men, without distinction of party, to rallcy to our platform It is eminently Southern—eminently nation al ; and if it bd inoprajlicahle for n? all to si% id upon it, a6 “ene peop’e and'Q.ns party,” let ue endeavor to appioximat® it, ueafiy as possible i fc%ve tno honor to remain.
