In spring-time’s pleasant hours, Go forth with her in merry mood. To gather woodland flowers.

The Committee appointed, for the purpose of ■ reporting tothis Convention, such resolutions as they may deem proper for the action of this Convention, through their Chairman, Mr. Cone of Green, made the following report, to wit* The Committee who were appointed to re port to the Convention such resolutions as they may deem proper for their adoption, , respectfully submit the following report. Whereas, it is expedient, from time to time, to send forth anew the principles upon which our political faith is based, and the measures for the promotion of which our Parly organ ization is maintained, to the end that the great landmarks may be kept ever iu view, and re membered amid the changing and exciting topics of the day; and whereas, the present time presents new features*of the political scene, and brings forward new questions on which vve are called to decide and ac’; and whereas, we are firmly convinced, that the welfare of our country and the ultimate pre servation of the Union itself, depends in no slight degree upon the wisdom and moderation which may at this juncture pervade the counsels of the democratic party, and upon the harmony which may be preserved among the different secjjpos;- and whereas we, re presenting the democracy of Georgia, are as much as ever persuaded of the truth and im portance of those vital principles for which we have so long contended, believing them the only rules by which our Government can be so administered as to secure and perpetu- : ate the enjoyment of liberty and equality by the people at large, and believing moreover, | that these principles can be best carried out i by the united and harmonious party action i of the Democrats of the whole country; and j whereas,in a country like ours, of vast exten t | and various and conflicting interests and sec. ; tional attachments and prejudices, union can only be preserved by mutual concessions and a spirit of compromise*. Be il therefore Resolved, That a strict con struction of the Constitution, an equal dis tribution of benefits and burthens by the general Government, a Revenue Tariff, op position to a system of Internal Improve ments, to a National Bank, and to any modi fication of the veto power, are leading and cardinal principles of the Democratic Farty, and to which they will strictly adhere. Resolved , That the Democratic party, while it asserts the right of citizens of any state to settle in any of the territories of the United States with their property, yet in the spirit of mutual “concession” in which our Union originated 1 , and by which alone it can be pre served,we are still willing to abide by the provisions and the geographical line of the Missouri Compromise. Resolved, That we adopt the four following resolutions as passed by the General Assembly of Virginia, as amended. Resolved, That the Government of the United, States has no control, directly or in directly, mediately or immediately, over the Institution of Slavery, and that in taking any such control it transcends the limits of its legitimate functions by destroying the inter na 1 organization of the sovereigns which for med it. Resolved, That under no circumstances will this Body recognise as binding anv enactment of the Federal Government, which has for its object the prohibition of Slavery in any Ter ritory to be acquired either by conquest or Treaty, "south of the line of the Missouri compromise,” holding it to be the natural and independent right of each citizen of each and every State of the confederacy, to reside | with his property, of whatever description, in any Territory which' may be acquired by the arms of the United States or yielded by Treaty with any foreign power. Resolved, That this Assembly holds it to be tire duty of every man in every section of this confederacy, if this Union is dear to him tooppose the passage of any law, for whalev, er purpose, by which Territory to be acquir ed may be subject to such a restriction. Resolved, That the passage of ihe Wilrnot Proviso by the House of Representatives of the United States, makes it the duty of every slaveholding State and the citizens thereof, as they vah e their dearest privileges, their sovereignty, their independence and their rights of property, to take firm, united, and concerted action in this emergency. Resolved further by this Convention, That the Democratic Party of Georgia, will give their support to no candidate lor the Presi dency of the United Stales who does not un conditionally, clearly and unequivocally de clare his opposition to the Principles and Pro visions of the VVilmol Proviso. Resolved, That the usage of the democratic parly, in meeting in convention for the pur pose of nominating a candidate for the Presi dency of the United States, meets with the approbation, and receives the sanction of this Convention. Resolved, That the present war with Mexi co is just and necessary, forced upon us by the aggressions of Mexico herself, and call ing for support and encouragement from all patriots of whatever party. Resolved, That the thanks of the whole country are due to ihe gallant officers and men of Our Army, Navy and Volunteer ser vice, for the glory with which they have cov ered our arms, and the heroic valor with which they have sustained their country’s cause on the battle-field. Resolved, That in the Administration of James K. Polk we recognize a firmness, a w isdom and a devotion to the true principles of the Constitution-, which cqll forth our ad miration for the man, and demand of us a steady and zealous support of tire measures ; of his administration. j The preamble and resolutions being taken ; up separately and amended, were agreed to, On motion of Mr. Satfold of Washington, Resolved, That as representing a large i port ion of the people of Georgia, our thanks i are due, especially, to the officers and soldiers | of the Georgia Regiment who have raain ! tained the honor of the Slate, and illustrated 1 the patriotism of Americans during their re i cent service in Mexico. On motion of Mr. Pryor, of Troup, I Resolved, That this Convention hereby ex | press their ardent and unqualified admiration | for the skill, gallantry and valor of General I David E. Twiggs, one of Georgia’s native j sons, and for tlie admirable ability and brave j ry with which he lias ever led on the forces I of his country to victory and glory; an l this resolution is intended by tins Convention as an especial tribute to the hero of Cerro Gordo. And be it further Resolved, That the Presi dent of this Convention forward to General Twiggs a copy of the foregoing Resolution. On motion of Mr. Gobi) of Clark, Resolved, That the thanks of this Conven tion are hereby tendered to the President f»j the able manner in which he lias discharged his du»y, and also to the Secretaries for the faithful discharge of their duties. Resolved, Thai the proceedings of this Con vention be published by the Federal Union— and that other Democratic presses in litis State be requested to copy, j The convention then adjourned sine die. CARLETON B. COLE, President. Fred IF Sanford, Samuel Field, $ [From ihe N. O■ Picayune, 26th ult.\ Further from Tampico. Through the courtesy of a gentleman to whom we are often indebted for news, we add a few items to the intelligence we gave yesterday from Tampico. A letter I has been received in town from the re ceiver of public revenue at Tampico, dated June 17, in which he mentions that he lias collected since ihe Tth May last, | on imports and tonnage, $18,565 80.— | The value of the imports during the pe ! riod was $314,212 95. He was looking | houtly for two vessels from Havana that will pay a duty of $20,000. The same letter mentions that the cel ebrated Mrs. Chase, the wife of our Con sul at Tampico, will visit New Orleans by the first steamer that leaves after the 4th of July. This great national festival Col. Gates is making great preparations to celebrate by a grand civic and military display. We annex the last general order of Col. : Gates, which sufficiently indicates the watchfulness thought necessary to be em ployed at this post, which is cot. tinually j disturbed by false alarms : Ordinance A 'o. 2*3. Headquarters Department ok Tampico.) June 17, 1947. $ All Mexican visitors and traders, not | residents, now in this city, will leave it in twenty-four hours. m All Mexicans who wish to enter this town, either by the Altemira road or by the bridge over the canal to the eastward of the city, will be strictly examined by the guards on the same, and none will be permitted to enter who do not come w ith provisions or marketing, and who are not | well known. All strangers or traders I from the interior will be detained by the guards stationed at the outer barriers un til further orders in each case. All firearms, swords, cane-cutters, or other formidable weapons, in this city, belonging to merchants, traders or shop keepers of any kind, will be deposited by their owners for safe keeping, within for. ty-eight hours, in the U. S. Arsenal. Every Mexican officer, whether on pa role or not, will depart hence within twen ty-four hours.,. ... Maj or VV. W. Morris, chief of police, is j charged with the execution of this order in all cases for which other provision is not /made. By order of Col. GAtfe's : , , t , E. G. BECKWITH, A. A. A. G. The Intercepted Despatch. The passage in the intercepted letter of Secretary Marcy to Gen. Scott which at ! tracts most attention in Mexico is the con cluding portion, which is substantially as j follows : “Intimations have been given to the Go vernment that a portion of the people of 1 the Stale of Vera Cruz, and also of some oilier States,is disposed to refuse obedience tot he Central Government. Should such j be the case, you will adopt such measures as may encourage this spirit, using the utmost discretion, nevertheless, that the | U. States may not appear compromised; i as it may occasion embarrassment to the Government when negotiations for peace | are entered upon. Should von judge it proper, you might offer aid or protection j when the war terminates.” Another portion of the Secretary’s let- j ; ter announces that Gen. Taylor had made i 1 appfeation to the War Department for ! two or three thousand regulars who have 1 been in the service in case he should be j expected to advance into the country. — 1 The Secretary says that much as the Go- | ; eminent nny be disposed to reinforce j I (Jen. Taylor’s division, it hardly deems it prudent to do so at the expense of Gen. Scott’s command, who appears more par ticularlv to need troops of the description j indicated by Gen. Taylor. He leaves it j therefore to Gen. Scott to decide, as com mander-in-chief of the forces in Mexico, whet lie r the suggestion of Gen. Taylor | seould be acceded to. We do not attempt to translate the des- J patch, as from the two fold process errors | may well occur, and the original will no I * ~ j j doubt shortly be given to thecountry.— lb. ■ auglHtaTweu.. | FRIDAY MORNING, JULY 2, 1847. FOR GOVERNOR, HON. G. W. TOWNS. OF TALBOT. The Democratic Convention. We give in ibis morning’s paper the pro ceedings of the Democratic Convention, held i I in Milledgeville on Monday last, for which | we are indebted to the Federal Union. We understand the greatest harmony prevailed, i and all seemed animated by one desire, to J make choice of a stand-ird-bearer acceptable | to tbe mass of the party. That choice has been made, and the mantle has fallen on one who has long been fried and found to be a ; faithful servant,the Hon. George W. Towns, j of Talbot. The Democratic creed is given in such ; plain language, by tbe resolutions adopted by j the Convention, that .all can comprehend | i it—and all that now remains to be done | ; is to enforce and illustrate it. Ouroppouents in this section are placed, by their northern [ brethren, in a peculiar position—all that was i | dear to them in the last struggle has vanish i ed like thin air—Clay has been dropped, and j with him we hope his principles—a Tariff, for ■ protection, and a National Bank are now ob solete ideas, and the Southern Whig cry is, j give us Taylor for President. For him they are now going it blind; they ask not for his | principles—they think him an available can didate, and that suits their present purpose.— AU we ask of them is to stick to him, and | should he prove to be another John Tyler, we will not find fault with their choice, if he is elected. The Whi£ Convention. The M illedgev ille Federal Union of the 291 h ult. speaking of the Whig Convention says— ; “On Thursday next, this body assembles to designate the individual who is to be the i standard bearer of our opponents, in the ap proaching canvass. That there is trouble in their camp, is obvious. There are those in j their ranks who honestly sustained Mr. Clay on account of his principles—becaus'e they believed a national bank necessary and pro per, and protection of domestic industry, (as they called it,) indispensable. There are also among them those, who are not now, and never have been at heart, the advocates of these measures. But, perhaps by far the greater class, are those who care for none of these things, whose only aim and end is, so to shift their course as to be sure of suc ceeding in their elections. The first class will, if they have the moral firmness to do hj go for the nomination of Mr. Clay for the Pre sidency. The second class, wishing to get back upon the old republican track, and knowing that Gen. Taylor is opposed to both bank and a protective tariff, will avail themselves of the opportunity to sneak out of the dilemma into which their support of Mr. Clay placed them, and will be open mouthed for Gen. Taylor. The third class, irrespective of their principles and their past professions, will go for him that is most available, Though they are the very men that huzzaed at the sentiment, "the friend of free trade may be a very good British sub ject, but cannot be a good American citizen” —the men that have clamored most vocifer ously for a national bank, and have been loudest in their condemnation of the measures of the Jackson administration, yet these are the. men that will press the claims of Gen. Taylor—the uncompromising opponent of every principle they have lately "so zealously espoused. “The Chronicle & Senlifiel for months past with the aid of some of its kindred prints, has been striving to save its party from the deep degradation, which its more unscrupulous members seem determined to bring upon it. It has urged the claims of Mr. Clay—of principle and of consistency. But its labors have been in vain. The die is cast. Thurs day will witness a universal somerset in the ranks of the whigsof Georgia. "The Convention, by the hoittinatian of Gen. ! Taylor, will issue the mandate, and through ! out the ranks of their constituents there will be a doffing of their old garments. Two weeks j from this time,hundreds of whig* in Georgia, j with their new dress, will boldly declare they i have never worn any other. \Vho can keep 1 the tally of the somersets of Georgia whig-*? Who can estimate the Moral influence upon I the community of these consistent consena lives} “It is impossible to predict who will be rlie nominee of the Convention for the office of Gove 1 nor. Whoever he may be, we lru>l he will be one, who if perchance he should be elected, will not forget that he is the Gov ernor of Georgia and not of a party-one who at home as well as abroad all men of all par : lies can respect and esteem, and whose moral I influence upon this community will be tell fur ; good and not for evil.” Bunker Itill tloiiumniti Tt is mentioned in the report of the Mana gers of the Bunker Hill Monument, that no 1 less than twenty thousand people visited the j monument during the past year. Movement of Troops, The Columbus T imes ol the 29th nit. says —"A company of U. Stales Infantry, attach ed to the 13rh Regiment, under the command of Lieu; O. H.

Ahem! Sale of the Portsmouth Road, The Wilmington Commercial has been in | formed that the trustees of the town of Ports ; mouth have purchased from the Board of Public Works the Portsmouth Rail Road, and that i they will soon make the necessary arrangements : for the renewal of the Road.

'2Bth ull. [From the N. O. Picayune .] The Right after the Battle of iliicnn The night of the 23d of February last was one of must intense anxiety to the participa tors in the bloody fight of Buena Vista. A tier twelve hours of obsiiua’e fighting, with the final result yet, unknown, nothing but water having passed the lips of those gallant men for the last twelve hours, the llower of their respective corps dead or wounded, and the certainty of a renewal of the onslaught, the next day, it is hard to imagine a period more calculated to “try men’s souls” than that night. After the cessation of the fight, came the lassitude super-induced by the extraordi nary excitement of the day:'men fell exhaust ed, and bivouacked in line—“the weary to rest and the wounded to die.” The depres- I sion of physical energy was so great that i neither hunger nor danger con'd incite them: [ that bloody field was at 8 o’clock as silent ) as the grave. It can only be surmised j what were the feelings ol that “great old man” upon contemplating the results of that day’s work. No officer sought repose, and the camp fires, which on other occa sions had been the scene of jest and merri ment, were now still,and the deep anxiety de picted on the faces of the various groupes of officers impressed you with a solemnity, a foreboding of ill, that was truly painful. All eyes were turned ever and anon to the Umt of one upon whom all their hopes were p aced, but not a light, not a movement could be discerned. The occasion made that single lent an object of intense solicitude. Some wondered if he was alone; others would have given theit earthly wealth to have known the thoughts, the hopes, the wishes, the inten tions of the old hero; but all was dark and silent as the tomb. Capt. L., of the Topo graphical Engineers, had visited the battle ground at nig lit. He had made some discove ries he thought important to be communicated immediately to the commander-in-chief. Ou approaching the generalV quarters, he over took his servant, who had been attending to his master’s cavalry, and inquired if the “old man” was alone and awake. “I spec he fast asleep, caplain, for he eat a monstrous hearty supper , and when he eat a I /rig supper he sleep berry hard and sound, and I reckon you won't sec dr'old bos' fore 4 o'clock in the morning. Listen, you hear him snore clear out here." When the captain made a report of this last reconnoissahce, joy and satisfaction vvere diffused through the camp. They knew that all was safe. r. p w. irtt» mi nf-waanwi mm&mmammm The Friends and Acquaintance of Porter and Sarah B.
