Members of the Legislature,
And others desiring full and complete re
ports of the business of the session, will be
furnished our Daily during the sitting of the
Assembly, for one dollar in udvauce. It wil
embrace a fairly reported history of the actings
and doings of that body, as they transpire front
day to day, which, for correctness and dispatch
will be equal to any made during the session.
Both the editors will bo in Milledgeville, and
will devote their personal attention to report
ing the proceedings of both branches. Back
numbers, from the day of organization, will be
furnished those desiring it them.

The Banner man takes us up, and an inte
resting trial of prowess in the oyster way, is to
come off soon at Milledgeville, between the
Doctor and ourselves. It will hardly b« nec
essary to secure the services of a special report
er for the occasion, unless, us his acceptance
indicates, our competitor tempts us beyond our
limited capacity, in the collateral* He says,
in his response to our challenge:
"It is related of Dr. Kitchener, of London,
(as we clip from a newspaper) that at his con
vertaziones, he placed up this placard—
* Come at seven—go at. eleven.’
But George Colman hating early hours inserted
the small pronoun it, which materially altered
the reading, thus—
* Come at seven—-go it at eleven.’
“ Now the pleasant amende propded by the
Examiner (who has 12,000 subscribers, and de
arves. them all) of bivalves and fluids,’ at
Milledgeville is accepted, and though we can
not as anticipated—
• Come ou the svvvqpi,’
Yet, on our meeting nt the Capitol, we cannot
promise not to—
‘ Go it at eleven.'

All right—any time after Saturday will an

It is said that the Secretary of State
has opened a correspondence with the Spanish

of Americans dying in Culm, such right being

THE CHEAPEST POLITICAL AND NEWS PAPER IN THE SOUTH—A WEEKLY FIRESIDE COMPANION FOR ONLY ONE DOLLAR A YEAR, IN ADVANCE.
t Cui Bono?
Why do our Know Nothing friends persist
' in the vain effort to reorganize their scattered
party ? What good do they expect to accom
’ plish by such a step, even if it were possible ?
I The .Southern people have pronounced their or
-1 ’ ganization unnecessary, and harmful, in th J de-
I greo that it distracts attention from the real
issues before them, and there is no hope for a
reversal of that judgment. Why then will they
t continue a fruitless war upon a party whose ev
. ery energy is exerted to save the South from
the impending dangers which so threaten her
: honor and interests ? Is not the policy of Geor
j gia established—has she not set her outposts,
i and pledged her honor to maintain her position
: at the hazard of the Union and the advantages
she reaps from it, and will it not require her
undivided attention to maintain that honor,
without yielding up those advantages? Are
the members of the American party so careless
of the Union as to be willing to divert the en-’
ergies of our people from its preservation, and
our honor under it, and so indifferent to its ad
vantages as to provide no safeguards for it, but,
when the blow falls upon us, to resign them
without a struggle ? Say they no ? Why then
»re they unwilling to co-operate with the domi
nant party of the State, aye of the entire South,
so zealously to preserve the Un
ion and its advantages, and at the same time
maintain the honor of our section. Even as a
unit, the South will find thus a difficult task,
how then is it to be accomplished if so many of
her sens withdraw from the regularly organized
army of defense, and refuse to act with it, but
struggle to break it down with all their energies
—energies that should be exerted for their
tJopntry, instead of against its friends? There
is sdlhq excuse for men whose zeal in a cause
blinds them to the real situation of affairs, but
when that situation is plainly and unmistakably
demonstrated ffrjhem and they still persist in
their course, too *qjfoud, or too stubborn, to
yield to their own they cease to de
serve even the poor excuse of misguided zeal,
■nd stand before the friends of truth and reason
as their uncompromising enemies. In just such
a position, we are forced to believe, the leaders
of the American party now stand. It has been
established beyond disputation, at the South
and at the North, that upon the Democratic
! party rests the responsibility of securing the
• constitutional rights of the South and the per-i
manency of the Union, against the common en- i
emies of both. Men of all parties who are de
sirous that these shall be preserved in tact, are
co-operating with it, and even its oldest and
bitterest enemies, with a patriotism far above
the tramels of party prejudice, come into its
ranks and furnish' daily incontestable eviden-;
ces that our party is the only pure party in the
Union. When there was no great danger to be
apprehended to the country, they could consent
to oppose it upon the score of name and antece
dents ; but now that the cloud threatens, they
hold up jts hands, and valiently battle in its
great cause. Not so these men: they see the
cloud, they know the dangers it threatens, they !
see the only refuge, but refuse to move They
have been plainly told, and the truth has been '
forced upon them, that they are dead weights
upon the South, and still they sullenly refuse to
abandon their untenable positions! Whatwould
they have? What do they ask of us?; The jew
i el of religious liberty they would have destroy
'ed has been refused them for a plaything,
and like sulky children they refuse the mandates
of their wise parent, the people, even though ;
called upon to defend their own homes. Sup-:
pose their unwise request had been granted—;
suppose the foreigner and Catholic were this '
hour deprived of the elective franchise ; would
the South be asy nearer saved from hor North
ern enemies—would her constitutional rights be
lets in jeopardy ? They dare not say they would
—they know they would not, but that, on the
contrary the South wonk] be weaker than be
fore, and yet they persist in re-organizing
against foreigners and Catholics, when they are
. menaced by enemies a thousand times more
: dangerous.
. Let the honest men of the American party
no longer follow in this senseless chase, but
ceasing their war against foreigners and Cath
olics, battle with the Democracy for Kansas
! and the South.
The South— her Friends and the Ene
mies. . . '
’rhe peculiar situation of national politics is I
not such as to make us nice in distinctions, and '
if wo characterize the American party South ’
as an ally of demagogues and seisms the other (
side of the Potomac, we must not be under- <
stood as charging upon it actual hostility to the 1
South and her iustitutioua. But, white we are (
far from believing such a charge to bo true of ,
it, we must still insist that It is indirectly afford- i
ing aid and comfort to our Northern enemies. '
We have before freely expressed this opinion, ,
and insisted that, in effect , the success of the ;
American organization, wherever it has succeed- ■
ed, hns advanced the cause of anti-slavery, in
just the degree that i. destroyed the prestige of
the Democratic party. Had the entire South .
go: ■ for the Democracy, there would have been I
reason to hope that the anti-slavery men of the ;
North would have hesitated in their aggressive I
policy, and thus, in some degree, revive the I
hopes of conservative men North and South, j
for the preservation of the Union and the un-1
disturbed enjoyment of the constitutional rights j
of both sections. But the success of the Amer-1
icon party in Kentucky, California, and possi
bly Louisiana, will necessarily allay, somewhat
’ the fears of the abolitionist and freesoiler. that
the South regards their natural enemy, the Do

merged into the blaze of fanaticism which on
t velopes them, would have caused them to stay
I their mad career, but appeals like arguments
- have been“os the sounding brass and tinkling
? symbols ;” she has compromised with them until
-I she has left nothing but her honor to give up,
- ; und still the insatiable demon of fanaticism
II cries ‘ give, give I” She must now excite their
i \ fears, and nothing but Democracy, then-sleeping
r I terror, their waking dread, can arouse them.—
-! Lot her stand by the Democratic party and its
i! stern demands at their hands, and show them in
•! good faith, that they have gone quite to the lino
■ | beyond which she can no longer submit to their
, aggressions, and they may pause luffore the up
i lifted finger which threatens them, und reflect
i upon the folly of their course. That stem vaice
■ which ever and anon startles them, from the
, national Democracy, may stay the hands laid
i violently upon the Constitution, and alarm their
i selfish fears, if heartily echoed by the South.—
■’ Black Republicanism, with all its madness, may
listen to that voice, when they hear its reverber
ations from every quarter of the Southern
country ; but if it speaks, and the South is si
lent, it will dare on, until the line is passed, and
this government falls, not less by the inactivity
of our people than by the attack of its enemies.
It is clearly, then, the duty of every patriot to
tand square by the Democratic party, and by so
doing, work upon the fears of the fanatical
crew that threatens us. Every man must see
that this is the last plank which separates us from
ruin. Where is the consistency of the Ameri.
can party, then, in its professions of regard for
tho Union as “the primary object of patriotic
desire,” when it madly risks this last hope for
its preservation by a ceaseless and proscriptive
war upon the only party the Black Republicans
fear ? What ia it, in effect, but aiding and com
forting the enemy?
The crisis of national affiurs, and the dan
gers threatening the South and the Union, call
upon our people to scrutinize narrowly the po
sition of every man not fully committed for us,
and heartily co-operating with us ia thestruggle.
Outsiders, whether at the North or the South
must be regarded, if not with suspicion, at least
with watchful attention, else steps may be ta
ken, which while not intentionally detrimental
to the South, may prove harmful, by re-assuring
an alarmed enemy. In just the degree that the
American party is successful, over the Demo
' cracy in just that same degree are the enemies
■ of the South elated, not perhaps on account of
any affinity of purpose, except so far as they
both war upon Democracy, bnt from the sym
pathy naturally excited for those who defeat
their traditional foe. Nothing would gratify
them more than the complete re-organization of
tho American party. Its success is a sort of
political barometer, which they watch with in
tense anxiety; as it rises or falls, so do their hopes
of eventually affecting our entire submission to
their designs; for where the fortunes of the
American party are in tho ascendant, those of
the Democracy whom alone it fights, descend,
to elevate the spirits of the enemies of the South.
j The barometer presents, just now, little promise
Ito Black Republicanism. It should present
none, but on the contrary indicate to our foes
that the South, as a unit, stands by the nation
al democracy, and will continue so to stand,
until awed by its firmness, and unflinching
devotion to the Constitution, they finally yield
to the South her just demands, or rend the fab
ric of the Union, in their madness. Let there,
j then, be no more holding back, no more tern*
i porizing, and let every man who is not openly
■ and unequivocally, with the Democracy, when
I the battle comes, be thrust from our counsels.
; and taught to feel that the South wants no
paMi ve friends, but will insist upon active duty
from every man. Effect this, and there will be
1 some prospect of preserving the Union ; with
[ out it, there is none. Who will stand between
1 ; the South and her friends at this crisis, must do
iso at the peril of a suspicious ievestigation of
j their soundness upon Southern questions.
Milledgeville Correspondence.
Milledgeville, November ".
Last night, there was a large gathering of the
members of the Legislature, and their sover
eigns, the jievple, ut the representative hull to
hear the lion. A. LI. Stephens, who, spoke to
them from tho Speaker’s desk for nearly three
hours. We regret that we were prevented
hearing this distinguished sou of Georgia and
able champion of the Constitution and the South.
We have been advised, however, that it made
a deep impression upon all who heard it. The
hall was crowded to suffocation. Men stood on
each other’s shoulders while he spoke, and the
applause that thundered in the hall, in response
to his address, might have been heard a mile.
Our readers may rely upon it, that, in the hour I
or day of bis triumph, Air. Stephens failed not j
to warn his friends to so act in the present that;
they might be prepared for the uncertain fa- J
tore. We are firmly convinced that the Demo- <
cratic Anti-Know Nothing representatives of i
the people in this place are prepared to respond |
to this advice with a hearty good will.
To-day was a great day at the Capitol. The I
hear of 12 M. having been fixed upon for the j
inauguration of the Governor, at an early hour I
in the morning crowds of ladies and gentlemen i
were seen approaching, from every quarter, I
the building set spurt for Executive and Legis-!
lative purposes. Within a few minutes" of;
' twelve, the Senate was advised that the House
; was ready to receive that Body, which immedi-1
; ak-Iy proceeded thereto. As the clock struck ‘
j twelve, the Governor elect, escorted by a Com- i
j rnittee of both branches of the Legislature. |
' Judges of the Supreme and Superior Courts ot;
j the State, Members elect to, and Senators in ’
I Congress, the State House officers, and other
; distinguished citizens, entered tbe hall and was
I received with enthusiastic applause by tbe large
assemblage there. The seats on the floor of tbe
House, and of the gallery were occupied by the
ladies to whom the members had gallantly" sur
rendered them. Every inch the floor was oc
cupied. It was iudeed a brilliant and imposing
; display-one which, were justice done it. would till

' closed. It is a chaste and beautiful production

j Milledgeville, November Bth, 1855. i
Last night the meeting of our party, oi
: wh ch I spoke in my last, took place in the;
! Representative Hall, when it determined to pro-;
, ceed to the elections to-day, without going into ■
■ a noiinnatioh. This determination appeared to ;
i give general satisfaction to the aspirants for ju
! diciafhonors, although there were some tew
I that preferred to submit their claims to tie
Democratic and Anti-Know Nothing Party.
The truth, however, is, that time was wanted
to go into a nomination of all the candidates;
and as some were averse to it, and as others de
sired to be present at a different place, an early
adjournment was necessary. So the nomina
; tions were ignored, and a large number of grave
I Senators, and gay Representatives, were soon
discovered at the
INAUGURATION BALI,.
This was indeed a brilliant affair. It took ■
place at the magnificent Hall erected by one of
the public spirited citizens of the Capitol, a gen
tlemen well and favorably known in every sec
tion of the State, Mr. Isaac Newell. It is call
ed “Newell’s Hall,” and is decidedly the largest
hall in the State, exceeding many feet in dimen
sions onr own public hall in Atlanta. The Ball,
however, was gotten up by our old friend Mr.
Robert McComb, and the supper prepared and
spread in the spacious dining room of his hotel.
To the kind attention of this gentlemen, we owe
our presence there, having been, with others of
the Editorial Corps, invited to the feast. Eve
ry thing passed off in fine style. TV e recog
nized upon the floor many a gay belle from a
distance, Atlanta not excepted; nut the Capitol,
of course, bore off the palm in numbers, and dis
puted, in more than one instance, for the award
to intellect, and beauty. In this contest, Ma
con, Columbus, Savannah, Augusta, Eatonton,
and last, though not least, Atlanta, were not
without claims to this distinction. I liave wa
gered all upon a fair representative from the
Bail Road city, and should the question ever be
determined by the committee of grave matrons
—for it would not do to trust it to gentlemen
that were present—to whom the question has
been referred, I will still wager that Atlanta
bears off the prize. . • ,
There were present also on this occasion,
many distinguished citizens of o«r State—His
Excellency, Governor Johnson, Hon. Robert
Toombs, our Senator in Congress, Hon. D. J.
Bailey, the President of the Senate, Hon. W .
H. Stiles, the Speaker of the House, Judge
Cone, the Senator from Greene, and a large
number of Senators and Representatives of both
political parties, all enjoying the festivioti erj
the occasion. , * !
The supper was a most bountiful and ots odn ;
affair. Large as the number was that qkralget .
of it, there was enough left of the luxuries pro-,
vided, to supply another party of similar size.
The table was profusely loaded when we left it
with all the good things of the season. This,
however, created in me no wonder. It is the
way that friend McComb, and his excellent la
dv, always prepare for their guests, and it is
what I have often witnessed in “days lang sync.”
May prosperity always attend them!
In one of my communications to the Exam-;
I iner. I stated that among other gentlemen, the j
i H«n. Iverson L. Harris, of this place was spok-'
en of a candidate for Judge of the Supreme j
'Court. I take occasion now to say, that this;
' gentleman ia no candidate, and that, long since,:
’ he declared his determination not to be a can-1
I didate, although solicited by many of bis |
friends, for this, or any other office.. With re-1
ference to the opinion Supreme Court, hisis,;
its bench is one that ought not to be sought j
after, and this opinion is based upon an exten-.
sive practice before our Courts for more than
twenty-four years, lu addition to this, Mr.
Harris is an old line whig, and as he took
| position with the democracy upon the new
j issues before the people of Georgia, and en-
I gaged most actively in the contest, in advance,
! he declared a determination to accept no office j
I in the gift of the Legislature then, or now, in ;
its power to bestow. The independent position ;
of this gentleman cannot but be admired, al-;
though it is a source of regret to his numerous j
friends.
In connection with the foregoing, permit me
here to remark, that the recently elected Sena
tor from Woith County, Mr.Willium H. Har
ris, today appeared, was sworn in by the Sen
ate, aud tock his seat. He is the son of the
gentleman just referred to; is an Anti-Know
Nothing, and will do good service to his
country und the State.
Todav, at 10 o'clock, the House convened.
After reading the Journal, the Speaker*pro
ceeded to -call the counties.' A lumber oi
Bills were introduced und read the first time.
Most of them were of a local character.
In the Senate there was also but little busi
ness transacted. The reading ot a lew bills ol
no great interest to tii“ puulic occupied the
time of this Body, until it repairai to the
House of Representatives to elect Solicitors,
Ute.
The first election that came off was fur At-1
toruey General of the Eastern Circuit. Upon;
the fifth ballot W. K. MeLaws, oi Augusta, \
democrat, was elected. The vote stood:
McLaws, - 148 1
Miller, »9 I
Hay lie, 19
Blank. -1 ,
The Senate then withdrew, and the House '
adjourned till to-morrow, when the elect ons
will again be resumed.
The “Senatus Acadimccus" assembled this j
afternoon in the Senate Chamber. This Bud,-, I
composed of the Executive of the State, the
Senate, and President and Trustees of the;
University of Georgia, is one of the most inter-1
rating bodies of men, that ever assembles iu our
State. To it is confided the great cause, of;
Education, and as I contemplated it to-dsy, as i
the venerable President ol Franklin College 1
was reading an able and interesting essay on
Education, I could not but feel deeply impress- (
ed with its value to our State, and the great!
good it might accomplish were the proper ‘
means provided to carry out what its wisdom j
has often, and can still, suggest. Among the old
Trustees of the State University who were pres
ent at the session of this Body this afternoon,
I xecognized that patriotic and good citizen—
cue who for many a year had enjoyed honor
and trusts, bestowed upon him by the people us
Georgia. 1 allude to Ex-Governor George R. I
Gilmer. Involuntary my mind reverted back !
to the past —to the last war with Great Brit- i
tian —to the days when the rights of the State i
were in peril—to the Tassei's case—to the re- i
moval ol the Cherokees from our State, when .
the Federal Government was disposed to ■
thwart that measure—and to his devotion to I
Franklin College up to the present day. His i
has been a good man's life: his has been the
i life of a patriotic citizen—a life spent in the
leer-ice of the State. Tbs writer knew him
i | well. He had seen him ia da vs of trial: at
‘ I tS* wh® S» was wrely tried; but never did
be know him flinch from the performance of J
i duty, or to step aside in order to avoid the '
responsibility of an official act. Long may he j
; live to be pointed at by the young as one!
. whose life and example are worthy of imitata-;
‘ tion.
MILI.EDGEVILLE, NOV. 9TH.
The Ilall of the House of Representatives
I ! wus again crowded to overflowing, last night.
The Democratic Anti-Know Nothing Party of
the Legislature and representative from dis
ferent Clitics of the State assembled, in ac
| cordance with a previous understanding, to or
; ganizc and prepare for the future.
I On motion of Mr. McMillan, of Habersham, j
! the Hon. -Ilowell Cobb, of Habersham, was
! called to the chair, and Messrs. Ramsay, of
! Harris, and Ntlms, of Elbert, were appointed |
Secretaries.
After d brief address from the chairman, on
motion of the Hon. Alfred Iverson, a commit
tee of twenty-one was appointed to prepare a
report and resolutions for the action of the
meeting. The Committee retired for a short
t ime, and upon its return, through the Chair
man, a report with accompanying resolutions
was made, and on motion of Mr. Iverson,
were unanimously adopted. I attach a copy of
the Resolutions: . j
Hesolved, Ist., That as a portion of the Dem
ocratic and Anti-Know Nothing Party of
-Georgia, we declare, in the language of the
Georgia Platform of 1850—“ That we hold the
American Union secondary in importance only
to the rights and principles it was designed to
perpetuate—that past associations, present fru
ition and future prosperity, will bind us to it
so long as it continues to be the safeguard of
those rights and principles.”
2d That we herebv declare our full and un
qualified adhesion to’ the following resolution
of the Georgia Convention of 1850, and our
unalterable determination to maintain it in its
letter and spirit: .
4th resolution—Georgia Platform.
“ That the State of Georgia, m the judge
ment of this Convention, will and ought to re
sist, even (as a last resort) to a disruption of
every tie which binds us to the L mon, any ac
tion of Congress upon Slavery in the l>‘s
trict of Columbia, or in places subject to the
jurisdiction of Congress, incompatible with the
safety, domestic tranquility, the rights and hon

any territory hereafter applying, because of the
existence of slavery therein; or any act pro
hibiting the. introduction of slaves into the ter
ritories of Utah and New Mexico ; or any act;
repealing or materially modifying tho laws in :
force for the recovery of slaves.’’ j
3d That we approve and endorse the action ■
of tho last Congress in the passage of the Kan-1
sas Nebraska Act, and the principles therein
established, and in conformity with these prin
ciples, the people of Kansas have, the right,
whenever tne number of population justifies
it to form a Republican State Constitution,
with or without slavery as they may determine
and lie admitted into the Union upon an equal
footing with the other States; and that her re
jection by Congress on account of slavery would
be a just <’ause for the disruption of all the
ties thattind- the State of Georgia to the:
Union. , , _!
4th. That we adopt and approve the follow-1
ing resolution, pajeeil unanimously by the last j
Legislature of Georgia. i
“ Resolved by the General Assembly oj the
State of Georgia, That opposition to the prin
ciples of the Kansas Bill in relation to the
subject of Slavery, is regarded by the people of
Georgia, as hostility to the people of the South,
and that all persons who partake of such op
position, are unfit to be recognised as compo
nent parts of any party organization not hostile
to the South.” ,
sth. That in accordance with the above reso
lution.'whilst we are willing to act in party as
sociation with all sound and reliable men in all
sections of the Union, we arc not willing to
affiliate with any party that shall not recog
nise. approve and carry out the principles and
provisions of the Kansas Nebraska Act, and
that the Democratic and Anti Know A othing
party of Georgia, ought to cut off all party
connections with every man and party at the
North, or elsewhere, that does not come up ful
ly and fairly to this line of action.
6th. That those sound and reliable demo
crats at the North who have patriotically fought
for the Kansas Nebraska Act, and the mainte
nance of the Fugitive Slave Law against the
combined forces of Know Nothingism and Ab
olitionism which seek their repeal and who
stand pledged to support the admisiou of Kan-'
sas into the Union as a Slave State, should sl'.e
ask it, merit the heartfelt sympathies, and en
c uragement of all Southern men iu their pa
triotic position.
7th, That in the ranks of the democratic
party of the North alone, have been found
those patriotic men who have thus stood by the
rights of the South, and judging the future by
the past, that party contains the only elements
of soundness on the slavery question, upon
which a National party can be constructed
with which the South cau consistently co-ope
rate. ,
Bth. That it is expedisnt and proper that
i the Democratic and Anti-Know .Nothing par
ty of Georgia, be represented in the National
Convention of the Democratic party, which is
to meet at Cineinuatti, next Spring for the
purpose of nominating candidates for Resident
i and Vice President, and that the Democratic
and Anti-Know Nothing members of the Leg
islature, together with such other members of
’ the party as may be chosen to attend from the
I respective Districts be and they are hereby re
-1 quested to meet at some convenient time du
ring the present session, and select twenty dek
i gates to said Convention for this State.
9tb. That our delegates to said Convention,
. ought in our opinion to be instructed by those
, who shall appoint them to insist upon the adop
i tion of a platform of principles, as the basis ot
a national organization prior to the nomina
tion of candidates, and that said platform shall,
; among other things, include in substance the
' following propositions. Ist The recognition
and adoption of the principles established in
’ the Kansas Nebraska Act. 2d. That neither
! the Missouri Compromise, nor any other anti
■ slavery restriction, shall hereafter be extended
i over anv territory of the United States. 3d.
! The prompt and faithful execution of the Fu
j gitivc -* lave lav.-, and its permanent continu
ance on the Statute Book.
10. That no man ought to be held, and con
sidered as a member of the National Demo
cratic party who does not recognise, approve
and adopt the foregoing propositions, ano that
the Democratic and Anti-Know Nothing par
tv of this State through ita eaid delegation,
! ought not to affiliate, or act in said Conveu-
I tion with any delegate or delegates who shall
disapprove or vote against the same.
i 11. That if the said propositions shall not
in substance, b« incorporated with the plat
-1 form adopted by said Convention, the delegates
; from Georgia ought, in the opinion of this
i meeting, to withdraw from said Convention,
I and take «o further part in the nominations.
' or other proceedings of the same, and that oui
' delegates ought to be so instructed to act.

1 Nothing party of the State ought and wil

1 Prwrtet <aU Viw Prmdwit, prewdrt a»
’! platform adopted by said convention be iu ae
; cordance with the spirit and intent of the fore
i going propositions—and the nominees thereof
I be pledged if elected, to carry out the same iti
! the administration of the government, and in
j appointments to office under the administra
■ tion.
13. “ That w’e sympathise with the friends of
slavery in Kansas, in their manly efforts to
maintain their rights, and the rights and inte
rests of the Southern people, and that we re
joice at their recent victories over the paid ad
venturers and Jesuitical hordes of Northern
Abolitionists. That tho deep interest tclt and
taken by the people of Missouri in the settle
ment of Kansas and the decision of the slavery
• question in it, is both rational and proper, and
| that it is their right and duty to extend to their
Southern brethren in that territory every le
; gitimatc and honorable sympathy and support.
14. That we are uncompromisingly opposed
to the political party commonly called the
Know Nothing or American Order, having no
sympathy with their secrecy, their oaths, their
unconstitutional designs, their religious intole
rance or political proscription.
15. Thor we hail with delight the late sig-
nal triumph in Virginia and other States, in
cluding Georgia, of tho Democratic party and
patriotij Whigs who co-operated in achieving
results over the Know Nothing organization, 1
as conclusive evidence that in the great prac- 1
tical questions in that contest, Southern men ■
may honorably and successfully combine witli
out regard to past political distinctions, to save 1
the Constitution from desecration, and the ’
South from being prostrated before the power 1
of Northern fanaticism and misrule. 1
16. That the Democratic and Anti-Know
Nothing party in all our sister States, and es
pecially in all the Southern States, be respect
fully and earnestly requested to take the fore
going resolutions into their early consideration,
and cooperate in the policy and objects intend
ed to be thereby secured.
In an able address, Messrs. Iverson and
Toombs advocated the adoption of the report.
I need not say the speeches of both thedb gen
tlemen were telling ones. And that, as one
man, all who were present responded to their
sentiments. A more enthusiastic demonstra
tion of determination to act for the future as
a party, I have never witnessed, than that last
night by the Anti-Know Nothing Whigs, and
Democrats. J’be danger ahead they plainly see,
and rallyingtogether, regardless of names, they
will all stand by the Constitution and the South
To this position 1 feel satisfied every true
hearted Southern man will at lust be driven,
to those who, in the late canvass, took the field,
and are now preparing for the future, the
credit is due that they have not loitered by the
way, but have been iu advance iu the fight.—
With the conservative democracy, the consti
tutional democracy of the North and West,
rests the salvation of Ibis Guion, und the rights
of the South. When they abandon the South,
the Union is no more. Who ot the South will
abandon them?
In joint session to-day tho two houses pro
ceeded to ballot for Solicitors General. The
result was that on the 3ro ballot Thaddeus Ol
iver was elected Solicitor of the Chattahoochee
circuit; on the Ist ballot Juliau Hartridge was
elected Solicitor of the Eastern circuit; on the
Ist ballot, James C. Longstreet was elected So
licitor of the Cherokee circuit; on the 4tb bal
lot, James Lyon was elected Solicitor of <he
Flint circuit; on the first ballot, W. Phillips
was elected Solicitor of the Blue Ridge circuit;
on the 2d ballot, Theodore Mumford was elect
ed Solicitor of the Macou oircuit; and on the
2d ballot, W. Daniel was elected Solicitor of
the Northern. The Senate then withdrew, and
both branches adjourned till tomorrow at the
usual hour.
A joint resolution was adopted in the Senate
and transmitted to the House having tor its ob
ect an enquiry into the number of clerks to be
employed in each branch, their compensation,
<tc.; the House has not yet acted upon it.
1 learn to-day that on Wednesday last, the
Governor made the following apputatmeuts.
Wiliam Steele, of Baldwin ; Luciluis H. Bris
coe, of Walton; Boswell B. DeGraflenreid, of
Muscogee ; Secretaries of the Executive. This
expression of the Governor oi renewed confi
dence in these gentlemen was very gratifying to
their numerous friends. These offices are no
sinecures. They require ability and industry
to discharge their duties with credit to the de
partment—qualities which the friends of the ap
pointees proudly boast of their possessing.
I transmit you two important bills for publi
cation at your convenience—one is of general
interest to the people; the other of great inter
est in Southwestern Georgia- The first pro
poses to amend the Constitution, so as to reduce
the number of Senators and Representatives.
This bill has been introduced by J udge Cone,
of Greene, and wili be debated in the Senate
as well as in tile House, should it pass the Sen
ate. At the present, I will not undertake to
express my opinion in relation to it. Whether
the people’s interests are guarded with greater
safety by large or small assemblies is a question
upon which many eminent statesmen and pa
triots difier. It is a subject, however, which
requires more space than the “Examiner" can
now spare; and one which demands more time
than I can command just now, to present my
views to our readers upon it in this communica
tion. I will therefore let it pass for the pres
ent. '
The other is a bill to authorize Dougherty
county to aid in constructing the Georgia and
i Florida Rail Road between Albany and Amer
! icus, or any other Rail Rood running to said
' county, by subscription for stock and the issue
of bonds therefor, upon a vote of its citizens.
The section from whence these privileges are
asked ought to receive the patronizing aid of
the State; but when the citizens of a county
are willing to contribute to develope re
sources whieh will add greatly to its wealth,
and their prosperity, surely they will not be
refused the privilege they desire to obtain.
■ If it will not crowd you too much publish
; the bills that I have referred to.
I Something is wrong with the mails. Our
j subscribers have received no papers on yester
! day or today. What is the matter'.'

Inaugural Address.
Senators and Representatives:
It is with sentiments of deep emotion, that 1
enter upon a second term of the Executive
Office of Georgia. The compliment implied in
this renewal of public confidence, awakens my
sincere gratitude, und inspires me with increas
ed anxity to promote the interest and prosperi
ty of the Stale.
The popular will has been uttered amidst the
strife of party conflict. In the honest effort for
the ascendency of their respective principles,
each party has perhaps been betrayed into in
temperate zeal. Passion and prejudice have
been invoked to the aid of aigumeut and elo
quence. But however excited the popular
mind—however intensely wrought upon, by the
hope of expected triumph, yet, so deeply im
bued arc the people with the spirit of our civil
institutions, that never, for one moment, did
any portion of them entertain the idea of refus
ing acquiescnce, nor resort to any means for
supremacy, that were not employed with the
most perfect subordination to the final verdict
of the Ballot Box. Thus peaceably is the ad
ministration of the Government awarded by the
popular suffrage, and under our system, the
ruler to-day, may become the private citizel,
to-morrow. How delightful the contrast,
which such a spectacle presents, to the despot
! isms of the Old World, in which a change of
I rulers is Revolution, and the sceptre of power
i is upheld and guarded by the bristling bayonets
iof disciplined troops! Now, that the storm has
I passed from the bosom of the deep, and the
I helmsman has been selected, by a majority of
j the votes of ail on board—every man to his
; post, and with right good will, beneath allow
. ing sheet and a sunny sky, let us make for the
| port of prosperity. . . r
Upon you devolves the pleasant duty oi
adopting measures to promote the general wel
fare, and to advance the State, in all the ele
ments of greatness and exalted civilization. It
will be my pleasure to ce-operate with you, in
your patriotic labors. ....
Let your deliberations be tempered with the
spirit of conciliation and harmony. Let local
mb rests be subordinate to the public good; and
sacrificing every feeling of selfishness, let each
rival his brother in zeal for its promotion.—
Then, the star of Georgia's glorv, careering to
its point of culmination, will gladden the
hearts of her people, by the mild beams of its
silvery lustre. .
The deeds that we do, will live after us.—
Though we act for the prerent, yet every act
should be a part of a system of policy, which
looks to the generations that are to succeed us.
A kind Providence has vouciweofc to us the
beet form of government, State and Federal,
that has ever blessed any proceeding age or
- people. It is so organired, that the happiness ol
1 oil depends upon the moral and intellectual de
i velopement of each; and its stability, as a sy»

| best secured by the freedom of individual la-
I bor, enterprise, and capital. It is a priceless
legacy, purchased by blood, and beqneutlad to
us by our noble ancestors. It is ours to pre
serve and transmit, and growing and strength
ening by the vital spirit, which animates it,
every succeeding year will find it more potent
for the promotion of human happiness. Let us
understand its true character and mission; and
then, conforming our action to the laws of its
organization and motion, like the Solar Orb, it
will shine to bless, and our latest prosperity
snail luxuriate in the fniitii n of its glories.
My experience in the office upon whieh I am
now about to enter, for a second term, impress
es upon my mind a moat painful sense of its
heavy responsibilities. The last Genira) As
sembly met, performed its work, adjourned and
left to me the conduct of the State afiairs, a,
best I could, according to mv feeble ability.—
How often have I felt the need of counsel !
How I have longed for some arm to lean upon,
when subjects of embarrassment, involving the
public weal, were to be disposed of, by my un
aided judgment! What a relief, to have been
permitted .o devolve the responsibility of grave
questions of State upon the wisdom of the Leg
islature! 1 cannot say that I have not erred,
but I can say, before God and this presence,
that I hnye tried to do the very best that I
could. The up-riglitness of my purposes is all
that I can plead in extenuation. And now,
standing upon the threshold of a new term of
service, looking fsrward to the recurrence of
the same causes of embarrassment, and some
what familiar with the duties of niy position.
I almost involuntary exclaim, “Who is equal
to these things?” But I may not falter. With
a firm tread and o n honest heart, I renew my
vows upon tho altar of my beloved State. I
will do all I ean for her honor and glory: if I
err, her generous sons will forgive.

In the commotion incident upon our Fall
elections we are carried along in successive cir
cles to the very center of the political M®l
- and dashing upon the rocks beneath
we are apt to forget or to lose sight of the in
teresting sights of the uppft- world. In these
days we are unusually Democratic. It matters
not under what party colors a man of office may
be, he is before election a thorough Democrat,
every man he meets—especially if he happens
to be a voter in his own ward—he recognizes
as a brother. The most notorious rowdy is at
every meeting honored with the politest bow—
and men who in ordinary times are considered
very respectable, sometimes turn out of their
way, and occasionally cross the street to shake
the hand of a fighting man. An amusing sto
ry is told of a man who is “up” for the suffra
ges of the people. Coming down town a few
days since we saw on the opposite side of Broad
way a pupil of Tom Hyer’s. He made an at
