Cone, the fol lowing resolution was taken up and adopted Resolved, That a committee of eleven, one from each Judicial District, be appointed by the Chair,to report such resolutions and other matter, as they may dean proper for the action of this convention. Whereupon, the Chair appointed Messrs. F. 11. Cone, R. A. L. Atkinson, Jesse Carter, W. J. Johnson, Robert Griffin, Thomas Hilliard, W. W. Wiggins, E. W. Chastain, W. J. Law ton, S. W. Colbert, G. D. Phillips, as that committee. The committee having retired, agreed upon, and reported the following Pre;mibic and Re solutions, which were unanimously adopted: By the principles of oar Government, all power is vested in the people, and its exercise rightfully belongs to":horn; they arc the source from which all authority and all government emanate. It is therefore*ofthe first importance, and it is the just prerogative of the people, to he fully and clearly informed of the principles and opinions -of any party ’who may. be seeking or asking’their confidence and support. The Democratic Party, has at convenient times, in National and State Conventions, an nounced to the people the principles upon which their party association is based. New questions, however,are constantly aris ing, upon the wise and proper determination of which the interest and character of the na tion are deeply concerned. It is therefore the duty of "the party clearly to define their posi tion in relation tolhese questions, so- that every i citizen may jjossess such knowledge as will enable him to determine for himself whether the views entertained by the party -are such as v(in his opionion,) will promote the welfare of the nation. Indeed, we 'think our principles ■ cannot be too often reiterated or rendered too 'familiar with the people. It u» the leading principle of Democracy, that all citizens are upon a perfect equality. — -All are equally independent, the privileges of : u.ll are the same, the rights of all are the same no one is superior, no one is inferior, but all .-.are equal; each one is a part of the Govern ment, and each one is interested in its wise ;and judicious administration. All,.therefore, 'should, be informed so as to act understanding- Ty and independently, in casting their votes. — We ask no man, blindly, to adhere to a party name, or ignorantly to follow party leaders. We lay our principles before the people, we übform' them what our political action is, and what it will be. We ask an honest and -im partial examination of these principles and ■ -opinions, and we have no apprehension as to rthe result. We believe them to be the true principles of the Constitution, and those upon which our Government should be administer ,jed, and that their practical operation will se cure to our country, a bright and glorious ca reer of prosperity and happiness, and place her "first among the Nations of the Earth. In the following resolutions, these princi ples are embodied. The resolutions also ex press our opinions of some distinguished citi zens, and our views upon many important questions. We submit them in confidence, that they f will command the approbation and receive the ; sanction of a large majority of people of Geor- I gia. Be it therefore R so'ved , by this Convention, That a Revenue Tariff, and the principles of Free Trade, as they have been practically car ried out by the act of 1810, are amongst the cherished principles of the party and coeval with its organization. The practical opera tions of the principles of that law, have fully realized the expectations and promises of its friends and overthrown and falsified the pre dictions of its enemies. Under its fostering influence, the revenues of the Government have been greatly increased. Every branch of industry rendered flourishing and prosperous, the price of wages and the value of labor greatly enhanced, and the means of procuring | the necessaries and many ot th 3 comforts and luxuries of life placed within the reach ol the great mass of our people. It should remain the permanent policy of the Government. Resolved, That we arc oppose d to a National Bank, both upon constitutional principles and principles of expediency. The present pros perous and flourishing state of our country, bears ample testimony that such an institu tion is wholly unnecessary,either for the man agement of the fiscal operations of the Gov ernment, or for affording or regulating ex change, or for creating and supplying a cur rency for the people. Resolved, That we are opposed to appropria tions of money, by Congress,to build up a gen eral system of Internal Improvements—the power to make such appropriations, finds no place in the Constitution. Its practical ope ration would create an exhaustless drain upon the Treasury, and be injurious to the welfare of the nation. Resolved, That the separation of the Gov ernment from all Banks and Bank paper, is a principle for the practical assertion of which the Democracy strove hard and labored long ; they finally' accomplished it, in the establish ment of the Constitutional Treasury. This is a monument of Democratic sagacity and wis dom, of which the party may well be proud. It prevents inflated issues of Bank paper, cheeks wild and visionary* speculation, renders the fiscal operation of the Government easy and safe, and secures to the People a sound and uniform currency. It should remain the permanent policy' of the Government. Resolved, That we are opposed to any modi fication of the Veto Power. What our fathers did upon that subject was wisely done. Resolved, That we are opposed to a distribu tion of the proceeds of the public lands among the States. They stand pledged for the pay ment of the public debt, au-I should so remain. Resolved, That we are in favor of the reduc tion of the price of the public lands. Such as have been long in market and remain unsold, are of little value to the Government; their sde at a reduced price would increase the rev enue, and provide comfortable homes for our people. Resolved, That a strict construction of the Constitution, the abstainin g by' Congress from the exercise of all doubtful constitutional pow ers, and a frequent recurrence to fundamental principles in the administration of the Govern ment, are a part of the Democratic creed. Resolved, That Congress possesses no power, milder the Constitution, to legislate in any way or manner, in relation to the institution of slavery. It is the constitutional right of every citizen, to remove and settle with his property in any of the Territories of the United •States. Resolved, That the people of the South do nota.sk es Congress to establish the institution (of slavery iu any of the territory that may be acquired by the United States, They simply require that the inhabitants of cash territory 'shall be left free to determine for themselves, i whether the institution of slavery shall or shall not form a part of their social system. Resolved, That the war with Mexico was commenced by' invading our territory and by slaughtering our soldiers and countrymen. We committed no act of violent!a toward any of her people until these things were done by her; we then repelled force by force. And whoever asserts that the war was not com i menced by the shedding of American blood cn American soil, asserts also, that the coun try between the Nueces and the Rio Grande, belongs to Mexico, and that she had a right to kill and slaughter our people because they were found there. Resolved, That the President in ordering vren. Taylor with histroops, to take some po ; sition, at or near the Rio Grande, violated no provision of the Constitution, but acted wisely I for the interests and bw'tr -of his country. The whole aet di the Mexican Government, previous to his giving the order, was hostile and insulting and men iced immediate war. Under these circumstances, had he failed ‘to give the order, he would have been unfaithful to the high trusts reposed in him. Resolved, That the war with Mexico is one of aggression and injustice on her part. The •annexation of Texas was an act of which she had no right'to complain, much less make it cause of war. Texas was an independent na tion, acknowledged as such by the most civil ized and powerful nations of the cm ;th. Wc treated with her as such, and the laws of Na tions justify us in making the treaty. Resolved, That the war with Mexico should be prosecuted with vigor and energy. That the country in our possession, should all be j retained. That our conquests should be still further extended; and that our progress should be onward until Mexico should sue for peace, upon such terms as arc consistent with the interests and honor of the American ple. Resolved, That the interest an'd honor of our country demand, that no peace shall be con eluded* with Mexico without securing a fair and just indemnity for the claims of our citi zens, and for the expenses and sacrifices of the war. As she has no means to indemnify -us except by -a cession of a portion of her Territory, a treaty fixing 'the Rio Grande as the boundary of Texas, and ceding New Mex ico and the *.Californias, would be both Just • and liberal on our part. i Resolved , That Gen. Taylor in advising the ? president, to cause’the “troops under his ccm . niand, to be remeved from Corpus Christi, to I some point at or near the Rio Grande, con sulted the honor and interests cf his .country, and that the President in acting upou.tlint.ad 'vice, violated no provision of the Constitution, f end committed no aggression upon the rights : of Mexico. Resolved, That any party or association of individuals, who, by their speeches or their , public prints, proclaim to the world, that the war with Mcxie ) was commenced by ns, that it was on our part a war of injustice and ag . gression, that our armies ought to be immedi , ately withdrawn from the Mexican lerxritary, and our conquests relinquished, that no in . demnity should be acquired and no cession of [ territory should be exacted as the condition of peace, xlo give aid and comfort to Mexico and I encourage her furtherrto prosecute the **ar. Resolved , That the Hon. Henry Clay, by his „ remarks in his recent speech, in relation to the [ institution of slavery, and by his omission iu his resolutions to repudiate and condemn the principles and provisions of the M ilmot 1 re vise, has placed himself in a position t it does * not entitle him to the confidence and support of the people of the Southern States. As a Southern man and a slave-holder, the South had a right to expect better things of him. Roeslced, That the whole administration of t President Polk, has been one of elevated pa triotism, characterized by wisdom, firmness v and devotion to the interests and honor of his « L ». ir,iM»» ■ nr, —'■“■gagfag country —our confidence in him is unshaken. Resolved, That the recorded annals of Avar, furnish no parallel to the unequal battles, the glorious victories and splendid conquests, achieved by our brave armies in Mexico. — Their imperishable fame is the property of the nation; on the bright of her history shall their deeds be written, their reward the highest that a soldier can receive—a Nation’s gratitude, and a nation’s thanks. The lion. F. 11. Cone, presented the follow ing resolutions, which were taken up and agreed to: Unsolved, That we will send delegates to the National Convention of the Democratic par ty, for the purpose of nominating candidates to the offices of President and Vice President of the United States; and that this Conven tion, do now appoint such delegates. Unsolved, That we suggest the first Mon day in June, as the time, and Baltimore, as the place, of holding the convention, yet we re commend, that the Democratic members of Congress, do meet and determine the time and place of holding said convention, and make the same known to the party. Resolved, That the Democratic party of the State of Georgia, will hold a general conven tion, for the purpose of nominating Electors for President and Vice President: and that said convention be held at the Capitol m Mil ledgeville, at the earliest convenient day after the candidates for President and Vice Presi dent shall have been nominated; the time of the meeting of the convention to be fixed by the corresponding committee of the party. Resolved, That a committee of eleven, be appointed by this convention, to be called the Corresponding Committee, whose duty it shall bo to designate the time of holding said con vention, and to attend, generally, to the inter ests of the party. Resolved, That the Democratic party of Georgia, will support no men for the offices of President and Vice President, who shall not have clearly and unequivocally declared their opposition to the principles and provisions of the Wilmot Proviso. On motion of D. J. Bailey, the convention proceeded to the election of two delegates for the Stcite at large, to represent the Democratic party of the State of Georgia in the National Convention. And on counting out the ballots, the Hon. M. H. McAllister, and the Hon. A. 11. Chappell, were declared duly elected. On motion of J. P. Simmons, the delegates from each Congressional District, constitute a committee to report the name of a suitable delegate to the National Convention. The following gentlemen were reported, to represent their several districts Ist Dist. Thomas M. Formax, 2d “ Henry L. Penning, 3d “ James S. Pinckard, 4th “ Wuxi am B. Pryor, sth “ Charles J.

It has been said of the temperate that - ‘their equal days Feel not the alternate fits of feverish mirth And sick dejection.” And it is certain that temperance and moderate exercise are the best friends of health. But un fortunately not even these preservatives can ex empt us In all cashes from sickness. A predisposi tion to disease is born with thousands of the hu man family, which neither diet nor regiment nor exercise can prevent from bearing its legitimate fruits. Scrofula and many eruptive diseases are among tlit .taladies, thus entailed upon many.— But they can be extirpated. SANDS’ SARSA PARILLA, under Providence, is a sure antidote for all this class of disorders, whether transmitted by descent or arising from immediate causes. The , .disinfectant properties of the preparation reach the virus which feeds the malady, and literally root it from the system.
