unfr BtvAivitL COLUMBUS, GEORGIA. SATURDAY EVENING, OCT. 20, 1855. The Savannah Republican and the anti-Know Nothing Whigs. A short time since, we published an article, Survey of the Field, in which, after giving a true history of the action of the Democratic party of Georgia in the June Convention, and the consequent co-operation of a large body of the old whig party of the State in the re centoanvass, we held tliat every citizen, whether he was , heretofore classed as a whig or Democrat, who endors- 1 ed the Platform of the June convention, was entitled to be consulted .as to the future policy of the party, and especially with reference to the policy of sending dele gates to the next National Democratic Convention, and urged upon them the duty of exercising “their rights” in their premises Our respected cotemporar’es of the Savannah Re publican have seen fit to seize upon a paragraph trom this article and make it the occasion of a homily to the anti Know Nothing Whigs, tho burthen of which is that they were sold to the Democracy by their leaders, and of unmeasured abuse of the Democratic Party. We may surprise the Savannah Republican by the declaration that the June Convention inaugurated anew party in (Jeorgia, which is only so far Democratic as it was an application of Democratic principles to new measures of National and State policy, and was compo sed almost exclusively, but not entirely, of members of the old Democratic organization. This is no new idea suggested by the exigencies of the occasion. It was the view taken >f their action by tho Convention. It is expressly declared in their preamble that the issues “involved in questions of national policy, involving the subjects of finance and taxatiou, and appropriations of money, and of constitutional power in re.’eence thereto, which formerly divided Southern Democrats and Sjuth* ern Whigs, no lunger afford ground for continued sepa ration and conflict among them and that “now other questions of practical and paramount importance are pressing upon the earnest attention of Southern meu, and are of such a nature as require cordial and frater nal concert of action among all who concur in senti ment upon those questions. ’’ The Convention then pro ceeded to lay down its platform of principles , which, in brief, was a re assertion of the 4th Resolution of the Georgia Platform of 1850 J an endorsement of the Ne braska Kansas act ; unqualified condemnation of the organization and principles of the Know Nothing order; the declaration of a fixed and settled purpose to cut off all party affiliation with every man at the north or elsewhere that does not come up to thin line of action ; and an ex pression of confidence in the national Democracy. The Convention “cordii‘ ,,w arid earnestly invited the co-ope ration of all citizens ... .eorgia, regardless of all party destinations, who desire to see this platform of princi ples established as the true basis of the constitutional and just notion of this government.” Acting upon this invitation, hundreds and thousands of the h-,*t and most patriotic men in Georgia, who for merly to the old Whig Party l eo operated’ with the Democracy of Georgia, and the result is known to the editors of the Savannah Republican Neither wing of the party sold out the other ; the good and true men of the State met Upon a common platform of principle and are now bound together by the indissoluble cement of a common faith, which the Savannah Republican and kindred presses will find it impossible to shake. We have long ago forgotten that we ever mustered under hostile flags, or waged frater nal war upon each other. We have common joy and common sorrows. The victory of Stephens in the Bth, was hailed with as joyous a shout by the Democracy of tho 2d District, as was the utter route of Know Nothingism in the moutitians of Georgia by Cobb and Lumpkin ; and we feel as levily a sorrow over the de feat of his gallant brother in the 7tb, as we do over the overthrow of Smith in the beleaguered 4th. With such feelings glowing ie our hearts towards our new allies, we thought we were justified in offering to them a friendly greeting, accompanied by such advice as to our future policy as the exigences of the times deman ded. The editors of the Savannah Republican must find it difficult to aduiess men as old friends whom it lately attempted to degrade by the insinuation that all they required to be sold as slaves by their leaders was a oKiting of lampblack 1 We do not quote literally; but we give the sense of the imputation. One or two words as to the National Democratic Convention. The great issue in the pending contest between the North and trie South, is the Nebraska- Krnsas act. It is a fact, which even the Savannah Republican will not controvert, that a majority of the Democratic members of Congress from the North, voted aye , on the passage of this act, and that not another Northern vote was cast in favor of the Bill—Whigs, Federalists, Know Nothings, Freesoilers, Abolitionists, all voted against it. The South, therefore, cannot affil iate with either of the last named parties in National Cohveution. Wo must either affiliate with the North ern Democracy, or form a Southern Sectional Party.— This is so clear a proposition that even the Savannah Republican will not deny it.. It does not, however, fid low, that the South can, with honor, affiliate with the National Democracy, without terms, and no such prop osition has been nude by us, nor was such action contemplated by the June Convention. The sth and 6th resolutions of the platform of principles adopted by the June ‘Convention, contain the views of the Dem ocratic and Anti Know Nothing Party of Georgia up on tiiis delicate :-übject ; and for the special information of the Savannah Republican we will re publish them ; sth Resolved, That-in accordance wi'h the above res olution, [ he Nebraska resolution of the last General As sembly,) whilst we are willing to,act in p arty association with ail sound and reliable men in every section of the Union, w are not willing to affiliate wi.h any party that fhiil not recognise, approve, and carry out the principles and previous of the Ncbraska-Kahsas act ; and that the iJremocrade Party of Georgia will cut off ail party con nection with every man and party at the North and else where, that does not come fully and fairly to this line of action 4*’ Glh Resolved , That the National Democracy of the North, who have patriotically Sought for the Kansas and Nebraska acts, and the m.iimenanee of the Fugitive Slave Luv,against the combined forces of Know Noth-* ingism anil Abolitionism, winch seek their repeal, and vv.i 5* 1 and pledged to support the admission of Kan sas into the Union as a slave State, shoo id she ask it; mer it, the heartfelt sympathies, thanks, and encouragement of Snilhen) men in th if patriotic position. These sound Northern men the Democratic and Anti- Know Nothing pirty of .Georgia propose to meet in Convention. What objection’ oan the Savannah Re publican urge to this proposition ? That they are j Democrats? Well be it so, and it is welcome to all : the capital it can m .ke gut of it. A rose by any other ! n une would smell as sweet. But, however much the ; Savannah Republican may be secretly influenced by its hatred of the Dem >oraoy, w® are quite sure it will not avy.v that it would rather the South would sink under Northern aggression than sea her triumph over fanaticism by the aid of Northern Democrats. It, therefore, takes the bold and indefensible position that the Democratic partv of no Northern Slate except V er rnont has taken position infavor of the Nebraska Kansas act. If this is true, and the Georgia delegates to the Cincinnati! Convention shall find no sound national men it, or not enough to controll its action and purge it of its unsound elements, it will be their duty as set forth in the foregoing resolutions, to quit the Conven- j tion and come home to their constituents. But the j Savannah Republican is mistaken as to the position of j the Northern Democracy. There has been no Demo cratic State Convention, in the Northern States, since the passage of the Nebraska-Kansas act, jvhich has refused to endorse that act and the principles on whio i it was founded, and very many of them have sanctioned and approved it in the most unequivocal terms : we quote : a few of them : The New York State Convention assembled at 1 - : Syracuse ; Resolved, That we insist, as an article of our creed, upon j the well-established Democratic doctrine of State Rights, | of a strict construction of the Constitution, and toe princi ple of non-intervention upon all domestic State questions; and that the peace and quiet of the country demand that it should he left to the people of the Territories, as it pertains to the people of the States, to determine all local questions, including the subject of slavery, to the end that a subject so disturbing.in its nature and influence may be wholly ex cluded from the action of the Government of the Union ; and that in furtherance of these principles we give our un qualified adherence to the Nebiaska bill, and oppose any effort to re-establish the .Missouri Prohibition. That of the Massachusetts Democratic State Con vention : Resolved, That we are infavor of the great doctrines of popular sovereignty, lor Territory and for State, and are opposed to all violations of it, whether by the unjust action of the Abolitionists of the lree States, or by bolder aggres sions from the slave States. That of the Vermont Democratic Slate Conven tion : Resolved, That wo denounce and repudiate all attempts I of demagogues and misled philanthropists to form sectional | parties, believing the Government cannot be administered | expressly for one interest oi section, but that all have equal j lights and privileges, and equal claim? to protection. The ! Constitution cannot be construed so as to bestow special favors upon any portion of the confederacy, it being a fide i ral relation to the several States, leaving to the people ot | each State or Territory the exclusive right to institute and I regulate their own internal affairs. That of the Pennsylvania Democracy: Resolved, That we are infavor of the Compromise mea i sures of 1850, including the fugitive slave law, and infavor | of the Kansas-Nebraska act, which repeals the Missouri ; Compromise, and which provides for the admission of said ’ Territories as States, “with or without slavery, as their j Constitution may prescribe at the time of their admission”— ; it neing the true intent and meaning of said act not to leg* j islale slavery into any Territory or State, nor to exclude it ! therefiom, but to leave the people thereof perfectly free to j form and legulate their domestic institutions in their own way, subject only to the Constitution oi the United States. The Resolutions of the Indiana and Illinois Conven ! tions were equally explicit, but we have not preserved | copies of them. j But uot only have the Democracy in most of the Nor | them States endorsed the principles of the Nebraska j Kansas act ; they have triumphied over the combined j forces of abolitionism and Know Nothingism both ir. j Maine and Pennsylvania upon the issues presented. Mr. J. W. Forney, writing from Philadelphia, thus j notices the grand result in Pennsylvania ; The Nebraska question, in all its phases, and the bold and patriotic attitude of President Pierce and his adminis j tration on that question, were not only openly at issue be | tween the two parties, were not only urged upon the voters I of the State in the most industrious and most unscrupulous | manner by the fusion leaders, and particularly by Cameron and VViimot, but wore accepted by the democracy without i observation. The whole opposition was concentrated i against the nationality of the democracy and in favor <4 the | sectional creed of the abolitionists. ‘The order of Know ; Nothings postponed for the moment their impracticabilities j on the subject of foreign influence and the Pope, and threw | themselves into the abolition combination with malignant | readiness. At no election within rny intimate and some what extended experience in Pennsylvania politics have I : ever seen more industry, confidence, and desperation on the part of the adversaries of the democracy and of the Union than at the last. The traitors from our ranks forgot all their past professions in favor ofsound principles—forgot all ! the honors and favors bestowed upon them by a confiding party —and took up the battle-cry of the fanatics and dis ! unionists who sought to make Pennsylvania the basis upon which to build up a fortress to scatter fire-brands, arrows, and death among our brothers of the southern Stales. But if they were bold and reckless in this course, the democracy were united in sentiment and in action in opposing them ; and although denounced as “slaves of the South,” as “doughfaces,” and as “pro-slavery tool?,” they enunciated 1 the most thorough constitutional principles at their meetings, arid defied the epithets and the intrigues of the opposi- | lion. A similar triumph, in our humble judgment, awaits ! the Democracy in most of the Northern States. The i Nebraska Kansas test will purge the Democracy of its unsound materials and the good and true men of the j Northern Whig party will flock to our standard in i every other Northern State, as they did in Maine and 1 Pennsylvania. Hear Mr. Forney again : We have last, all our bad material. The Know Noth ings were organized to “puriiy the two old parties;” and they j have done so with a vengeance by receiving into their i lodges all the invalided, corrupt, diseased, and discarded : intriguers who have so long infested our councils. In their places, however, we have received, with gratitude and joy, ; a host of constitution-loving whigs, who came forward on j Tuesday, and, like patriots, forgot all past differences in ! assisting to wage war upon the common enemy. Inspired by the recollection of Clay and Webster, and by the vic ! torions examples of Stephens and of T-oombs, of Evans : and of Farley, of Kerr of North Carolina, and Landry and ; of Rost of Louisiana, who refused to follow a corrupt lead • to a still more corrupt conclusion, they spurned the tainted bribe of a combination, which, at.one and the same time, ! tempted them, by a cheap promise of coming power, to vote against their country and to dishonor themselves. Hence j forth these brave spirits are, let us hope, to be-treated like i brothers and friends, They are with us on the greatest | ijuestion of the day, and in the luture will be found true to ; the constitution and the laws. With such bright prospects before them, the Anti : Know Nothing Whigs of Georgia can afford to laugh to ! scorn the puny efforts of the Savannah Republican \to malign them. It will be glory enough for them that they have saved the rights of the South and pre served the Union by their patriotic course. I ft Depredations on the New York Central Rail road —Two Conductors and a Breakman on this Rail road have been recently arrested on a charge of steal ing numerous articles of freight intrusted to their care. I A large quantity and great variety of goods were found jin their possession. Ttieir names are W in. Hooper, Geo. 11. Lyon and Sam*). Huntington. Important to Building Associations. —The Supreme Court of Connecticut has just rendered a very impor taut decision in regard to Savings Banks and Building Associations. The decision was made in a case where an association attempted to foreclose a mortgage, and the eourt decided that it could only recover the amount of the principal, less the legal interest and bonus which had been charged. Naval Retired List.— The Charleston Mercury learns from a “leUable source’’ that the President has decided to make no Nava! promotions before the meeting of Cos igress. An opportunity will be thus given to the friends of those who consider they have been un ustly judged by the R-frm Board, to appeal to the S rate \vhto|the nominations for the new commissions are pre sented . A dispatch from Washington says extens ve preparations are making to operate on the coming Congress in reference to the matter. mmxmKmKosmsasmmmmsmmmtmaKteattamemmaeamesisamsßamamm^mi Political. The Ohio Know Nothing organs recently announced in staring capitals that four hundred stand of arms had been sent, boxed up, to the depot at Cincinnati, and that a patriotic Know Nothing, one Gen. Sergeant, had lighted upon tlieee boxes of treason, and taken them in keeping, thus preventing the bloody Irish and Dutcli from getting hold of the implements of death, sent for their use, no doubt, by Medill, the Democratic Gover nor. The story Was very hoirible, and the organ of the ruffians expected to get up a mob by it, and lio it through. But Know Nothing lies had become too stale; the public didn’t believe much about the story, and Gov. Medill scon informed them tHbt he had sent no arms to Cincinnati. It is a very good sample, however, of the miserable trickery to which Kuow Nothingism is occasionally foroed to resort. Douglas and Trumbull, the two Senators of Illinois, recently met at Salem, in that State. The former re quested the latter to state the issue between them, and discuss it before the people. Trumbull made a rambling I speech, shunning the issue altogether. He got a mer ciless skinning, of course. The crowd testified their \ gratification by the loudest applause. In reply to the i gasconade of the Fusionists, Douglas proposed to Trum- ! bull th.3t they should both resign and leave the Legis lature, to be elected this fall, to choose two Senators who should properly represent them. Trumbull de clined that proposition. A bird ia tbe hand is worth | two in the bush, he thinks, and he is not mistaken that a resignation would he the end of bia Senatorial life.— Charleston Standard. A Hive of Industry. —A visit to tho Central Rail road Depot, yesterday afternoon, gladdened our eye? by the sight of a degree of busy acting, which even the laziest mortal is glad to zee, in other people. The view presented by the really vast area of the Depot reserved for the interior, is especially a fine scene of well regulat ed industry. By the way, the building intended, wo believe, for offices, which terminates this depot, forming its front, is fast approaching completion. It fulfills, admirably, tho prime conditions of adapinees to its object, while its plain but tasteful front, relieved by the broad porch I resting upon six massive pillars, combines as much or . narnent, with utility, as is compatible with the purpose , to which it is to be devoted.— -Savannah Journal <£• : Courier, llth.
