(limes mrir ~ ~ COLUMBUS, GEORGIA. FRIDAY MORNING, OCT. 12, 1855. | A. Survey of the Field. The success of the Democratic party in the late eon test in Georgia has been equal to our most sanguine expectations. It is the most triumphant victory yet won over the sworn cohorts of Sam : a meagre ma jority of hundreds, has been raised to thousands.— It cannot fail to deepen the conviction of every true Republican in the capacity of the people for self Gov ernment ; and will, we hope, impress upon the minds of politicians the great and vital truth that success in popular elections can only be won by a stern and un flinching adherence to principle. In the late election, the Demacratie party relied solely upon the righteous. nes3 of their cause. They scorned a resort to clap trap upon which their opponents mainly relied for success. They treated the candidates of the Order with the ut most fairness and respect, and we do not now remem ber that any of our orators or presses made a single per sonal attack. They boldly met the issues tendered by the abolitionists, and planting themselves immovably upon the 4th Resolution of the Georgia Platform, determined to make an adherence to it a sine qua non of party af filiation. They waged uncompromising war upon Know Nothingism and unqualifiedly condemned its Organiza tion and its purposes. But more than all; they laid aside all old issues upon which they had time and again received the endorsement of the country, and cordially and warmly welcomed all persons of every other party to an equal participation in all the honors of the contest who concurred with them upon the startling issues presented by the abolitionists of the North and the Know Nothings of the South. We thank God, that most of the great and patriotic lea ders of the old Whig party appreciated the high ami noble action of the Democracy, and under the lead of the incomparable Stephens, took position at the head of the Democratic Column and brought into line of bat tle many of tho noblest and best of the rank and file of the gallant party which they formerly led to battle and often to victory. Without their aid the result might and probably would have been widely different. All honor then to A. 11. Stephens and his gallant friends. They bore the brunt of battle and are worthy of tho victor’s reward in a political war—the love, ad miraiion and gratitude of the people whose rights they have maintained. The victory achieved by their aid is not exclusively a Demooratio triumph. A pan of the glory belongs to the old Whig party. Indeed, the glo ry of the achievement belongs to uo particular party 5 it is the ootnmoi) heritage of all parties at the South—it is the triumph of tbo Southern people over one of the isms of the North. But can the legitimate fruits of the victory be Fes cured ? That now is the question of our day aud gene ration. But first let us understand what ase “the le gitimate fruits” of the late victory ? First, that the accident of birth does not confer merit. Second, that Government has no right to meddle with the religion of the citizen. Third, that the principles of the 4th resolution of the Georgia Platform must be incorporated into the Platform j of any notional party with which Georgians in future i affiliate. * The Georgia Democracy are pledged to the mainte nance of these three points. Upon a solemn declaration of adherence to them in State Convention, we secured the co-operation of the Whigs of Georgia who fought by our side in the late contest and we cannot abandon them without dishonor. During the spring of next year, the National Democ racy hold a Presidential nominating convention. The Georgia Democracy will be represented in that conven tion. Then and there the fidelity of our party will be put to a severe trial. The Northern branch of the party is not as sound as we could wish on the slavery question. Continued defeat in the maintenance of the constitutional rights of the South has made the bold timid, and the love of many has waxed cold. Every effort will be made to induce the party to “pretermit” any decided expression of opinion upon the issues that have sprung out of the agitation of the slavery question, by the Northern branch of the party, and we doubt not that many Southern Democrats will yield to the per suasions of their Northern brethren. This is the turn ing point in the fortunes of the Georgia Democracy. They cannot, they dare not, yield an inch on the slave ry question. They are pledged to demand of the Na tional Democracy an endorsement of the fugitive slave law and of the Nebraska-Kansas act, before they can affiliate with them. Upon this pledge, they gained the aid ot Messrs. Toombs and Stephens and their friends in the late contest, and to it mi re than any thing else are the)’ indebted for their crowning victory. They must stand up to it, or forfeit all claims to the respect of the people. The duty of appointing delegates to the Cincinnatti convention will devolve, we suppose, upon the members of the next Legislature ; at least they will make provis ion for their appointment. Every Senator and Repre sentative who was tlected by the joint votes of the Democratic and Anti-Know Nothing parties, will be entitled to a voice in the appointment of these delegates, whether he was formely classed as a Whig or a Demo -01 at, and we earnestly hope that all such will exercise their rights. We hope further, that the delegates will be selected without regard to old party divisions, and that they will he specially instructed to carry out the pledges of the June convention. The Platform of Principles erected by that body is the pillar and cloud that leads to the promised land. A close adherence to it will, in our judgment, cure the National Democrat ic party of the dry rot , of which Mr. A. 11. Stephens complained attheopening cf the canvass, and make it the rallying point of all sound men in every part of the Uniou. Ihe slavery question has become a festering sore upon “the body public and the knife must be used with tearless intrepidity. Til* South can dally no lon ger with timid friends or concealed foes. Congress has no'power over the subject of slavery, except to guaran tee to the South ample protection in the enjoyment of property, and any party which is not prepared to plant itselt upon the constitutional provisions with regard to it cannot and will not 6ecure Southern support. If the National Democracy .are not. prepared to face the storm of abolition fanaticism, tho South will be recreant to itself r.nd to the Union longer to remain iu fellowship with it. , The time has come for bold, decided and manly action. Tlie iron is hot upon the anvil and it is the policy as well as the duty of the South to strike with vigor. A little more sleep, a little more slumber, a little more folding of the hands to sleep, and the power to mould our destiny will bo gone forever. We yet have faith iu the National Democracy. All tlre great Jcaders of the party in the Northern Stales are com mitted to Congressional non-intervention. If the South is true’ lo herself,- we believe they will be true to her. But they cannot maintain our rights without we give them lever power by a bold and manly aesetion of them. Hence the inexorable necessity of a stern enforcement j of the Georgia Platform by a united South. The Georgia Democracy are in the van in this con test for Southern rights and Southern honor. If they shall prove worthy of their position, and act in good faith with their Southern brethren, and show to them that they are ready to sacrifice even their party asso ciations rather than betray the interests of their secti n, and can succeed in bringing the National Democracy up to a sound position on the slavery question, we are persuaded that tho whole South will rally to a man in the support of the nominee of the national convention ; and lhatifthey shall unfortunately fail in their noble 1 purpose, that the very act of failure will make us one people and one party. We are persuaded that the divisions that have so ; long existed at the South have sprung from a conviction on the part of a large portion of our people that poli tics was a mere game at which the leaders of parties played for the spoils of office. Upon no other supposi tion can we account for the spread of the ridiculous tom-foolery of Know Nothingism in the Southern States. There was no earthly cause for tho establish meet of such an order in the Southern States. All the foreigners and catholics resident at the South would not, if served up for breakfast, make a comfortable meal for the native and protesfent citizens. If . the leaders of tho Democracy shall show to their fellow citizens that they are earnestly engaged in an effort to *ave the South from the deadly spirit of abolition fanaticism, we : have not a moments doubt but that Know Nothingism | will never more be heard of in the Southern States. We then urge upon the Democratic members of the next Legislature to bear themselves like men and pa triots. and see to it that the counti) shall suffer no harm by their default. Their responsibilities are great and we earnestly pray the Giver of every good g ft to en dow them with wisdom to see and nerve to carry cut that line of policy which shall most certainly advance the best interests of the people whose servants they are. Still Further from the Geargia Flection, We have the pleasure this morning of publishing the returns, principally official, from 3OS counties.— Johnson received 50,892 votes; Andrews 41,393 votes; Overby 5,499 votes. Johnson’s majority over Andrews is 9,499 ; and over Andrews and Overby both 3,582. The five oounties to hear from are all Democratic and will make Johnson’s majority over both his competi tors about 4,500. Coffee, Irwin, Pike, Pickens and Hart, are the counties yet to hear from.

Vegetation was nipped but not destroyed by it The sun regained the mastery, however, on the 10th, and poured down a summer shower of burning rays. We fear we are not yet through the hot dry weather of autumn. * mfjjg Malicious Mischief. —Between the hour of mid night and day-light, it is the practice of some drunken persons to disturb the peace aud quiet of Randolph street. They went so far on Wednesday night last as tear open the blinds of the Times q* Sentinel office and break out half a dozen panes of glass. Cannot the city police put an end to such malicious mischief? We respect fully suggest that a little attention on their part to this part of the city, between mid night and day-light, would be kindly welcomed by the residents and property owners.

Fire in Savannah. An alarm of tire was given yesterday morning about five o’clock which was fousd to proceed from the Fe male Orphan Asylum on the corner of Bui! and jay lor streets. The fire, which is supposed to have orig inated in a clothes press in the eastern end of the build ing, had made considerable progress before being dis covered. All the inmates were Rescued without acci dent, with the exception of Mrs. Be!!, the matron of the Institution, aud a little daughter of Mr. M. M. Da vis, Sergeant of the Mounted Police. These two were seen in one of the upper rooms, after all were supposed to have been rescued- Mr. F. Blair, one of the Firemen, went in and crept j round on his hands and knees until lie found Mrs. Beil J where she had fallen when overcome by the heat and smoke. His Honor, Mayor Anderson, with Policeman Oiiveros, had .passed through tit’s room but a few min utes before, and searched the beds. From the position In which the matron was found, the Mayor must have passed within a foot of her. The little girl was rescued by Mr, James A. Barron, another of otfr gallant firemen. Mr. B. was just re covering from an attack of fever ; but, Ike sill our fire men, when duty called, all personal considerations were forgotten. Mr. Barron took the child home Jo his house and she was afterwards taken home to her father, where she now Is.

The ladies of our city very kindly sen: garments to them, of which they stood in need, having been unable to save anything from their sleeping apart ments. A large part of the furniture and e o titer’ articles in the lower rooms was saved, but in a damaged condi tion. We learn that there was an insurance up ja the build ing to the amount of SIO,OOO, which will probably more than cover the loss. The walls of the main building, and a wall running through the middle were each 18 inches thick, to which fact is attributable the compara tively small damage done to the building.- A wing built a year or two since, with thinner walls, has suffered more damage, being badly cracked.— Savannah News, ’ S th.
