Air" Lino Rail Road’ Meeting in Gwinnett County. The proceedings of the meeting recently held in Gwinnett county, at which delegates were appointed to attend the Convention to be held in Madison county, to promote the construc tion of the "Air Line Bail Road,” was headed in our paper, without our knowledge, most inappropriately. It was not a “Democratic Meeting," nor did the Secretary of the meeting. F. P. Juhau. Esq., so term it, in his copy ol the proceedings forwarded to this office. The heading was the work of one o. our composi tors, for which wo owe an apology to Mr. Ju han, as well as all who participated, or are interested in that, or similar meetings. Kansas. The "Extra" which appears in our columns ty-day, and which refers to the outrage com mitted on the persons and property of pro slavery men, by bands of lawless abolitionists in Kansas, was handed to ns by a friend, who re ceived it from the gentleman whose name ap pears as requesting its publication. We me, and have for a length of time been prepared to hear of insult, injury, and outrage of every description being perpetrated in Kan sas, by the vile fanatics at the North, who are doing the devil s work with such instruments as they send into that territory. But we did not think that they would go quite as far as they have gone, well knowing their fear of the re tribution which awaits them. Boldness, how ever, in crime, appears to increase with some, while it renders those who have a little con science left them, timid in its execution. Ti e however, of this abolition warfare in Kan sas is fast approach iug, and we shall soon wit „ - lrU e exhibit of the rotor of these foes to hern institutions. It will doubtless be on ' , with that of Sumner, when it is fairly and, arm them as you may, we look ±n a’ fair test us being in the proportion of Z pro slavery man. to halt u dozen abobuon- lwe.ip»ns being equal—that w, gutta per ,Au canes, against a bar pes rifles. «a A public meeting has ben held at Worewtar. Mass., at which ‘-’oUec Wd us *id of KaatMi -yA7- ZA INT«T»ED, A, "5? CIRCULATION! OF 20,000 COFIEftS! North Geoigia Times. We publish the following from a ieaiimg article which appeared in the last number of the “North Georgia Times.” In one of its recent numbers, the Editor announced his de termination to pursue the course which he now takes, provided the action of the Cincinnati Convention should indicate, in its selection ot candidates, and policy, a conservative, as well as Southern spirit. What he now thinks of its action, is to bo seen by all who will read the following : From the North Georgia Times. Our Position. “We place at the head of our columns this week the names of the nominees of the Cincin nati Convention for President and Vice Pres ident. In taking this position thus early and promptly, wc are influenced by no other mo tive than to preserve onr consistency as an in dependent journalist, and perform, what we conceive to be, an obvious and imperative duty in the premise’. Having earnestly advocated a union of parties at the South, that the sound men at the North might thereby be strength ed and encouraged at home in resisting aboli tion fanaticism ; and believing that this object can best be accomphlisbed under the prestige of the Democratic name, and upon the 1 lat form, and with the nominees of the Cincinnati Convention, we are prepared to give them our hearty and cordial support, leaving it to others to consult their prejudices, and cavil at small things if they choose. Those who have pre determined to find fault with the action of the Convention will be at no loss for a pretext for such opposition ; but, for ourself, wc perfer a different course, and have adopted, what we conceive to be, the on ly alternative to the formation ot a purely sec tional party in the South. We would rather choose between evils, than maintain a sullen reserve like the dog in the manger, neither eating the hay himself, nor allowing the ox to eat it. Both the candidates and the Platform, it affords us gratification to believe, will be ac ceptable to the South generally, and that she will speak but one voice ip November next. In recommending, however, the nominees of the Cincinnati Convention to the confidence and support of our readers, we are influenced by no want of regard for the soundness, integ rity, and pure national character of Mr Fill more. But he is not now, and we think will not be, a candidate before tne people in the approaching election. Under proper circum stances, there is no man in the country whom we would support more willingly for the Pres idency ; but believing, as we do, that the con test is between the Democratic party and the Black Republicans, and that the running of a third candidate would innure to the success of the Republican party, we could not support Mr. Fillmore now, were he to accept. Hence our early and decided preference for Mr. Buch anan.” It must be gratifying to our readers who are advocates for the election of Buchanan and Breckenride, to see such an evidence of devo tion to the South, as is displayed in the fore going, and other demonstrations of like kind on the part of many of the rank and file of the “ Amerirau Party,” who, last year, like the Editor of the Times, occupied a hostile attitude to the democracy. Scarcely a day passes over our head, since the nominations have been made, that we do not hear the determination express ed by some “ American,” to support the de mocratic nominees. Like the Editor of the “ North Georgia Times,” they cannot be blind ed to the fact, that the Presidential contest is, in reality, one between the Black Republican Abolitions of the North, East, and Vi est, and the National democracy—the latter striving with all the power it is capable of exercising, to maintain the Constitution of the country, and to resist all encroachments when the rights of the States, and Southern Institutions ; while the former is waging an unholy aad fanatical warfare, against all that Southern men think the Union worth contending f.r. As for Mr Fillmore's strength in the North, East, or West, it will scarcely weigh a feather in the contest when the vote for President is polled. All the effect it can hav •, is to make the struggle fierce on the part ol the Black Republicans, who are encouraged nt bis being in the field. But, as we feel satisfied that, ere long, the Southern people, with the exception of an ambitious and stubborn faction, will be convinced of this, we have no fears of the result where the domestic institution of slavery is deemed worthy of a struggle to maintain, or the rights of the States aro worth protecting. Land Warrants. The value of Land Warrants in the market being a matter of interest to many of our rea der, we embrace the opportunity afforded us of presenting to them the following statement, which, in substance, we gather from the circu lar of Green & Sewell, Bankers of Wall Street, New York’ It appears that the report of thesaleof large lots of forged land warrants, some weeks ago, and which appear to be without foundation, seriously affected the market. A reaction then took place and dealers availed themselves of the opportunity to reduce their stocks, tt bile the market was in this state, the announcement that Congress had passed the bill granting over four million* of acres of the public lands, to the State of lowa, for rail road pur pose ; followed up as it was by an order from the General Laud Office, to be local offi ces in that State, to suspend business ; created quite a panicin the market, from which it will scarcely recover for some length of time. Dealers are refusing to buy, and are yet unwil ling to sell at the rednegd rates. The passage, too,of other bills, giving away other large tracts of Western tan b. since the lowa bill was passed tended still further to depreciate the value of warrants in the Northern Market,from which there has been no re-action. The quotations therefore are nominal. Dealers positively re fuse to buy, in the absence of special orders to that efleet. To what extent they will depre ciate, we are not prepared to say. This is bad news; but the information before us, prevents our saying what would doubtless be more ac ceptable to both sellers and buyers- Phh.adki.fiha, June 9. —The Key Stone Club visited Wheatland to-day, and congratu lated Mr. Buchannan on bis nomination. Mr. Buchaunan in reply, congratulated the Conven tion an the unanimity of their proceedings, and j expressed his harty approval of the platform. THE CHEAPEST POLITICAL AND NEWSPAPER IN THS SOUTH—A WEEKLY FIRESIDE COMPANION FOR ONLY ONE DOLLAR A YEAR, IN ADVANCE. ATLANTA. GEORGIA. THURSDAY MORNING, JUNE 19. 1856. Air Line Rail Road. We published on yesterday the proceedings of a meeting held in Danielsvil.e, on the 3rd 'lnst., on the subject of the “Air Line Rail Road," from Atlanta to Anderson Court House So. Ca., and the proposed convention to be held at Madison Springs on the second I'ues day in July next. From these proceedings, it will be seen that the citizens of Madison County are alive to the importance of this great work, and will heartly co-operate with those ot Hart, Frank lin, and Fulton Counties, and all others, in pro moting the “noble enterprize of building said Road.” We trust that the citizens of Atlanta will be encouraged by this, and other similar de monstrations, to press with vigor, the importance of the contemplated work, upon the people on each side of the line of said Road. To us, in Atlanta, it is of more importance than any other contemplated enterprise tfiat can well be originated ; and that it is of incalculable val. ue to the planting and other interests of the people on each side of its route for a space of twenty miles, is beyond all sort of doubt. Aside, too, from this, when constructed, this Road would yield a dividend to the stock-holders, unsurpassed, if equalled, by any similar work in the State; and the knowledge of this by capitalists, and Rail Road men, will, with proper and combined effort, ensure its con struction at no very distant period. Atlanta must wake up to the importance of this subject. Unfortunately our city has been, by a recent dispensation of Providence, de prived of the services and counsels of one, whose clear head and sound judgment induced him to urge upon his fellow-citizens the importance of the “Air Line Rail Road,” and the necessity for its immediate construction. Are there none in our midst to take his place, and by the ex ercise of that energy and enterprize which were conspicuous elements of his character, secure the advantages so often demonstrated by him as eertain to ensue by the building of this road ? We trust that there are, and that this too will be demonstrated at the Convention which is soon to assemble at Danielsville. The Nominations. The speculations of the Press, in regard to the nominations for President and Vice Presi dent, made at the Cincinnati Convention, as far as we have seen them, to use a commercial phrase, “up to date,” are, in the main, favorable in their character. With scarcely an excep tion, have we seen a democratic paper that docs not enthusiastically respond to the nomi nations, and express the determination to zeal ously support them. In one or two of them, it is true we have seen regrets that Mr. Pierce, or‘that Mr. Douglas, had not received the nomination over Mr. Buchanan ; but even in these instances, the preference was person al, not political. In the main toe, the an nouncement of the nominations by the “Amer ican Press” of the South, has been flattering to the nominees, while in a few instances only, we are grat : fied in being able to say, there has been displayed a “sore headedness ;” a char acteristic disposition to cavil and find fault ; that have often been observed by the Southern public. We must, however, be content to let the minority grumble and growl. Had Wash ington, or Jefferson, or Madison, been alive, and been nominated by the Cincinnati Con vention, objection would have come from cer tain quarters, and opposition also. The first would be styled a“FEDERALisT,” and God knows what would be said of the others. Sb, thus far, we must be content with the general pirit of the press. We do not, however, attach auy extraordi nary importance to the views of the press, as at present indicated, here. in theSoutb. The Democratic, anti-Know Nothing press, we were satisfied, long since, looked more to the plat form of the Convention, than to theiNDiviDU ual whom it would be called upon to support. The first being what it should be, the nomi nee pledged to its support, is all that the press required ; and it will be certain to do its part in th* contest. With but rare exceptions, too, wc expect to see as decided an opposition to the democratic nominations, by the “American press,” as was made to Governor Johnson, last year. Our only consolation, while anticipating this, is, that the rank and file of the “Amer ican Party,” in the coming contest, will be greatly reduced in numbers, by the support which will be given to Buchanan and Breck enridge by many of their adherents, who think it time to look more to the interests of the South, than to any side issue which may be presented in the contest. Draft in the Sales of Bacon. For the information of the merchants of this city—many of whom are extensive dealers in Bacon —we copy from the Charleston Mercury into our paper to-day, the proceedings of u late meeting of the “ Chamber of Commerce,” of Charleston, South Carolina, by which it will be seen that a discontinuance of the allowance of draft in the sales of bacon was resolved upon. This resolve will prove advantageous to tha' city, and will be acceptable news to our Com mission Merchants here who represent so large ly the interests of the farmers and slaughterers. One per cent draft, in these hard times, is no small slice, whether you take it from the side, shoulder, or ham. Below will be found the proceedings referred to: Chamber of Commerce. ••At a Special Meeeting of the Chamber, con vened yesterday, at the Hall of the Charleston Insurance and Trust Company, pursuant to notice, to ‘ consider the expediency of recom mending a discontinuance of the allowance ol draft in sales of Bacon,” the following pream ble and resolutions, were submitted and unan imously adopted: Whereas, m view of the efforts which our citizens in their individual, and more particu larly in their corporate capacity,'have been making, and continue to make, to secure to our .city the benefi.s of an increased trade with the /rich and growing sections of the West, it is o; I the highest importance, in order to foster the | cnpmmnicatimi just opening, aad eawurage the tendency of shipments to this market, that all Western produce should find here the same advantages as other cities, nowcumpeti ig with ns for that trade, afford. Resolved, That in the opinion of this Cham her, it will be a wise policy, justified by the fullest equity to all concerned, to place shippers of Western produce, generally, on as favorable a footing as they are placed in every other market in the United States. And further Resolved. That on the particular article of Bacon, this day submitted to their considera tion, the Chamber deem it expedient to recom mend and to sanction a ’iseontiauanee of the draft of one per eent. hitherto allowed. On motion, ordered that the proceedings be published. V. J. TOBIAS, Secretary. For the Atlanta Examiner. communicated. Rail Road Meeting at Danielsville.

For the Atlanta Daily Examiner [communicated.] ‘ ‘ Waiting for an Opening ” Listlessness is the index of a worthless character. Indolence is profitable unto noth ing. Active industry, perseverance, economy, and sound discretion, coupled with moral cour age, and integrity, are essential elements in the life of the truly successful man. There are two characters. One negative the other positive. The former marks the in dividual who is given over to indolence, which commits him to “ the dream land.” He is un willing to work either with his hands or his mind. He takes life as a fable—sees the bus., world around him in a strange and uncertain light, and with a bewildered infatuation, he is ever revolving in his mind the idea, that some of these days an -opening ” will present itself, and then he will “pitch in” for a fortune.— Such men always seem to be “tired,” and fi-a quently they murmur the complaint, that they have •• lost all energy.” The positive character marks the man who invents, builds houses, steamships, railroads, &c , and actually helps to improve the physical and advance the Moral World. Whatever is found proper to be done, is done, with all the might of his capacity. All that we enjoy of the arts aud sciences, spring from the energy of the positive,—al! conveniences of life—news • papers, books, maps, &c., are grateful offerings; of the positive character. Men of such spirit i are “openings” in and of them&lves. They are found at some post of duty—not •• waiting ; for an opening.” When I hear an individual always remarking that I am waiting for an I opening to do something, I fear very much that should an opening pt eseat itself, he would more than likely be “ engulphud,” for no enterprise can be safely projected without judgmen- "and effort, which the indolei.t are accustomed to call into use in their listless existence. •• Wait ing for an opining!’ Why my friend, you might wait twenty years and nothing b„t the vortex of ruin would open to engnipb you ! Wake up I Go to work 1 •• Act well your part there ell the honor lies.” i Do sora thing for yourself and your country. You need not expect to go to California, or to Ku: sas, and turn over a rock and find a fortune l More 1 kely you wouid find a viper, or a lizard! Waiting for an opening 1” Wait on, and you ■ will soon be s'nging: •• O! I’m » used up man. I'm a used up man, If ever I get up, I'll keep up if I can." Washington was an active, pouuve charac-1 : ter. Look at his voluminous writings—look at i him in the battle field—ut the helm of Gov ernment—or in “retirement” on his farm! Did you ever hear of his waiting for an open ing? And do you suppose that Franklin waited for immortal fame to crown his magic name ? or did he not rather move on from tri umph to triumph, to seize the prize ? This waiting for an opening has made too many lawyers, preachers, quacks, idlers, and loafers, in the land. We need more true mor alist-, more wisdom, energy, activity, and use fulness. and less crime, want, misery, and wretchedness -evils which follow the man al ways waiting for an opening. Wake up, and go to work, and cease murmuring at your own worthlessnes God helps those who help them selves.” B Atlanta, June 11, 1856. --— Published by request of Edward Simms of Pendleton District, S. G. EXTRA. ■Brethren of the South!—And ad vocates of Southern Institutions —Greeting: Kansas Territory is now in a declared state of civil war. To rehearse all of the particulars that has led to this declaration would be an impossibility. But we will give you some of the most important items, and we will use no exaggeration, for things are bad enough at best- On Wednesday, the 21st of May, inst., the U. States .Marshal and posse marched into the city of Lawreuce. wnen, after he had taken the prisoners he had a warrant for, he dismissed us; Sheriff Jones, of Douglas county, asked the pro slavery men if they would serve as a posse under his guidance, which was of course assent ed to, he then went into the city and demanded those works that had been indicted as nuisances, which works were the “ Free State Hotel ” and the two abolition printing presses, viz: tha Free State ” and “ Herald of Freedom;' after we had destroyed those works by command we peaceably retired, and foo ishly thought, rom the non-combativeness of the bogus gov ernor’s fr.ends, that all things would be right, and that the < xcitement would end. Vain de lusion 1 On the Saturday nfoht succeeding, at the mid night hour, a party oF cowardly assas sins attacked the houses of the pro-slavery m n, who resided on Pottowatamie Creek ; Wilker son, a member of the Territorial Legislature, who was waiting on bis sick wife, was the first victim; the scoundrels carried him just far enough from bis wife's apartment, for her to distinctly hear his dying groans ; three of the Doyles were treated in the same manner ; three of the Sherman’s were next immolated on this accursed altar. One of whom was a youth of sixteen, his hands and ears were cut i ff. and then his head quartered. Oh 1 cruel Fate ? Can a Southern heart brook this? can a South ern eye look calmly on while our friends are killed in this manner? Aye! in a manner shocking to the Indian. The above, though appearing incredible, is nevertheless true—true to the letter. Sorry are wc to say that the most fiendish person born upon American soil or reared under the stars and stripes would or could be guilty of such atrocity. C'apt. Pate, a noble Virginian, organized a company to avenge these murders, and marched to the field of action; two of bis company were killed, (one an Alabamian, formerly of Georgia.) and then through stratagem the rest of his party were taken prisoners, with the certain convic tion of being hung. Southerners ! Alabami ans 1 Georgians! will you stand idly by and see your brethren thus treated ? South Caro linians ! oue of whom we are proud to say we are, will you not nobly rear the gloriou, Pal metto flag on the soil of Kansas ? We now have the largest number in the Territory; will not our brethren who are at heme help us in securing this our lawful possession. Perhaps it will be said that we may need men at home to ward off an attack. I fear not, our women and our children can drive off' the aggressor from our homestead. If then asked why we want men in Kansas, our answer will be, because we have some hardships to endure, the least of which is to face Sharpy’s Rifles in the hands of hirelings of the “ Emigrant Aid Society." To families we would say, come on! the noble “ Border Ruffians ” will furnish you a home until Kansas is in a settled state. Kan sas! ah, ’tis a glorious place, and a “ man who is married ” might appropriately designate it as “ Heaven’s last, best gift to man,” the purest of water, the richest of soils, so rich, that it appears that if one should sow dimes he would reap dollars. We speak knowingly, having just returned from the country, where we hope to be with a large and noble band of Southerners before the October election.— Friends will you heed our entreaty 1 Will you, cau you stand idly by and see everything wrested from us, by such as we have to contend against? Forbid it, Almighty God! for we in this crisis, have everything to gain and noth ing to lose. As a South Carolinian, we hope and trust that she will show to the world, that she will cause every nerve to vibrate aud every pulse to thrill in this great cause, and that she will to the last extremity fight for those Institutions she has adopted, and for the precepts of that man whom she so loved; need we say that man was CALHOUN ? And shall the widows ol men who died for those precepts appeal iu vain to us for revenge ? No, no, none will be found who will be absent at such a cry. Then we will repeat, come one, come all, and take that which your blood and treasure was spilt for. ‘Come back, Stephen! come back.' , Come all ye Democrats and view the plat form upon which Buchanan aud Breckenridge stand. We cordiall invite all those who have strayed, lost or been driven from the good old Democratic fold, to come back to their first and true love. If you are democrats, here are your principles spread out in full, so that all may know them and that none can be de ceived. Let by-gones be by-gonra and the past be forgotten in the present rejoicing. He that cannot forgive tbe errors qf his brother democrats, himself should not ba forgiven. All men are liable to err and do wrong, and all true democrats looking to the establish ment of thair principles, are willing to forgive a repenting brother, and extend to him th» right hand cf fellowship,— Cassville Standard.

If the latterare cultivated, inteligern and accomplished, the young men will fee! th' requirement that they themselves short’d b< upright, gentlemanly and refined ; bnt if then female friends are frivolous and silly, tbe young men will lie found to be dissipated and worth less.

The resolutions of the Baltimore Convention, which are re affirmed, are as follows: Resolved, That the American Democracy i place their trust in the intelligence, the patri ot! tin, and the discriminating justice *f the I American people. Resolved, That we regard this as a distinct ive feature of our creed, which we are proud to maintain before the world as a great moral element in a form of government springing from and upheld by c popular will ; and we contrast it, with the creed and practice of federalism, under whatever name or form, which seeks to palsy the vote of the constitu- I ent, and which conceives no imposture too monstrous for the popular credulity. Resolved, therefore, That entertaining these views, the Democratic party of the Union, through their delegates assembled in a general convention of the States, convening together in a spirit of concord, of devotion to the dbc wines and faith of a free representative gov ernment, and appealing to t eir fellow-citizens for the rectitude of their intentions, renew and and reassert before the American people the declaration of principles avowed by them, when on former occasions,in general conventions, they presented their candidates fur the popular suf frages. I- That the Federal Govcrnmrnt is one of liberal powers, derived solely from the Consti tution, and the grants of power made therein ought to be strictly construed by all the de partments and agents of the Government, and that it is inexpedient and danger ous to exercise doubtful constitutional pow ers. 2. That the Constitution does not confer up on the General Government the power to com mence and carry on a general system of internal improvements. 3. That the Constitution does not confer authority upon the Federal Government, directly or indirectiy, to assume the debts ol several States, contracted for local interna) improvements, or other State purposes ; nor would such assumption be just or expedi ent. 4. That justice and sound policy forbid the Federal Government to foster one branch of industry to the detriment of any other, or to cherish the interests of one portion to the injury of another portion of our common country ; that every citi :en and every portion of the country have a right to demand and insist upon an equality of rights and privileges and a complete and ample protection of persons and property from domestic violence and for eign aggnssion. 5. That it is the duty of every branch of the Government to enforce and prac ice the most rigid economy in concluding our public affairs and that no more revenue ought to be raised than is required to defray the necessary expen ses ol the Government, and for a gradual but certain extinction of the public debt. 6. That Congresa has no power to charter a National Bank ; that wo believe such an in stitution one of deadly hostility to the best in terests of our country, dangerous to our republican institutions and the liberties of the people, and calculated to place the business ol the country within the control of a concentra ted money power, and above the laws and will of the people, and that the results of Demo cratic Legislation in this and all other financial measures upon which issues have been ma .'e be tween the two political parties of the country, have demonstrated to practical men of all par ties their soundness, safety and utility in all business pursuits. 7. That the separation of the moneys of the Government from all banking institutions isjn dispensable for the safety of the funds ol the Government and the rights of the peo ple. 8. That the liberal principles embodied by Jefferson iu the Declaration of Independence, and sanctioned in the Constitution, which makes ours the land of liberty, and the asylum of the oppressed of every nation, have ever been car dinal principles iu the Democratic faith ; and every attempt to abridge the privilege nf be coming citizens and owners of soil among ns, ought to be resisted with the same spirit which swept the alien and sedition laws from our statute book. 9. That Congress has no power under the Constitution to interfere with or cont.ol the domestic institutions of the several States, and that all such States are the sole and proper judges of everything appertaining to their own affairs not prohibited by the Constitution ; that all efforts of the abolitionists or others made to induce Congress to interfere with questions of slavery, or to take incipient steps in relation thereto, are calculated to lead to the most alar ming and dangerous consequences, and that all such efforts have an inevitable tendency to diminish the happiness of tbe people and cu danger the stabi.ity and permanency of the Union, and ought not to be countenanced by any friend of our political institutions. Resolved, That the foregoing proposition covers, and was intended to embrace, the whole subject of slavery agitation in Congress, and therefore tbe Democratic party of tbe Union, standing on this national platform will abide by and adhere to a faitbful execution of the acts known as the compromise measures settled by Congress, the act for reclaiming fugitives from service or labor included ; which act be ing designed to carry ont an express provisiou of the Constitution, cannot, with fidelity there to, be repealed or so changed as to destroy or impair iis efficiency. Resolved, lhat the Dcuiocratic party will resist all attempts at renewing in Congress, or out ot it, the agitation of the slavery question, under whatever shape or color the atteinp' may be made. * Resolved, That the proceeds of the public lands ought to be sacredly applied to the na tional objects specified iu the Constitution, and that we are opposed to any law for the distri bution of such proceeds among the States, as alike inexpedient in policy aud repugnant to the Constitution. Resolved, That we are decid dly opposed to taking from the PreJdent the qualified Veto power, by which be is enabled, under restric tions and responsibilities amply sufficient to guard the public interests, io suspend the pas sage of a biii whose merits cannot secure the approval ot two thirds of the] Senate and House of Representatives, until the judgment of the people cau be obtained thereon' and which has saved tbe American people from the corrupt aud tyrannical dominion of tbe Bank ot the United States, aud from a corrupting system of general luterual Improvements Resolved, That the Democratic party will f.ithfully abide by and uphold the principles aid dowu iu the Kentucky aud Virginia reso utiuas of 1782 aud 1798, aud in tbe report of dr. Madison to the Virginia Legislature in 1799—that it adoprs those princip es as con stituting oue one of the main foundations of its ■olitical creed, and is resolved to carry them out in their obvious meaning and import. lhat i.i view ol the condition of thepopula instituti-ns in tbe U;d rid, ah gh and sa cred duly is involved with increased responsi bility upon the Democracy ot this country, as the party of the people, to uphold and main tain tbe rights of every State, aud thereby the Union of tne States—and to sustain and” ad vance among them constitutional liberty, by fiOßUnaing to resist all monopolies and excla- ! sive legislation for the betefi . of the few, at tne expense of the many, and by a vigilant and constant adherence to those principles aud com promises of the Constitution—which are broad I enough and strong enough to embrace and up hold the Union ns it is, and the Union as it shou'd lie—in the full expansion of tic ener gies and capacity of this great and progressive people. The following are the supplementary reso lutions in relation to the Kansas Nebraska question, and tbe foreign poHcyof the govern ment : And, whereas, Since the foregoing declara tion was uniformly adopted by our predecessors in National Conventions an adverse political an 1 religious test has been secretly organized by a party claiming to be exclusicely Americans, aud .t is proper that the American Democracy should clearly define its relations thereto:— Therefore, Resolved, That the foundation of this union of States having been laid iu its prosperity, ex pansion, and pre-eminent example in free gov ertiment, built upon entire freedom in matters of religious concern, and no respect of persons in regard to rand or place of birth, no party canjmtly be deemed national, constitutional, or iu accordance with American principle®, which bases its exclusive organization upon religious opinions aud accidental birth-place. That we reiterate with renewed energy of purpose the well considered declarations of for mer Conventions upon the sectional issues of domestic slavery, and concerning the reserved rights of the States : aud that wc may more distinctly meet the issue on which a sectional party, subsisting exclusively ou slavery agita tion, now relies to test the fidelity of the people North and South, to tne Constitution and the Union. Resolved, That claiming fellowship with, and desiring the co-operation of all who regard the preservation ofti.e Union under the Constitu tion as the paramount issue, and repudiating all sectional parties and platforms concerning domestic slavery, which seek to embroil the States and inc te to treason and to armed re sistance to law in the Territories, and whose avowed purposes, if cousumated, .oust end in civil war and disunion, the Ameaican Democ racy recognise and adopt the principles contain ed in the organic laws establishing the Terri tories of Kansas and Nebraska, as embodying the only sound aud safe solution of the slavery question up j i which the great national idea of the people of this whole country can repose in its determined conservatism of tbe Union ; noninterference by Congress with sla very instates and Territoris; that this was the basis of the compromises of 1850, confirm ed by both the Democratic and Whig parties in national conventions, ratified by the people in tbe election of 1852, and rightly applied to the organ zntion of Territories in 1854 ; that by the uniform application of this democratic principle to the organization of Territories and the admission of new States, with or without domestic slavery, as they may elect, the equal rights of all the States will be preserved intact the original compacts of the Constitution nia.ntaned inviolate, and the perpetuation and expansion of this Union ensured to its utmost capacity of embracing in peace and harmony, every luture American State tiiat may be con stituted or aunnxed with a republican form of government. Resolved, That ue recognize the right of the people of all the Territories, including Kan sas and Nebraska, acting through the fairly expressed will of the majority of actual resi dents ; and whenever the number of their in habitants justifies it, to form a constitution, with or without domestic slavery, and be ad mitted into the Union upon terms of perfect equality with the other States. THE FOREIGN POLICY OF THE GOVERNMENT. Resolved, finally, That by the condition of the popular institutions of the old world, and the dangerous tendency of sectional agitation, combined with the attempt to enforce civil and reli ions disabilities against the right of ac quiring citizenship iu our own land, tbe high and sacred duty is devolved with increased re sponsibility upon the Democratic party of this country, as the party of tbe Union, to uphold and maintain the right of every State ; and thereby the Union of the States; and sus tain and advance among us constitutional liber ty by continuing resist all monopolies and exclusive legislation for the benefit of the few, at the expense of tbe many. And, by the vig ilant adherence to these principles, and the coin promises of the Constitution, which are broau and strong enough to embrace und uphold the Union as it was, and the Union as it is, the Union as,it shall be, in the full expansion ol tbe energies and capacities of this great pro gressive people. First Resolved, That the question connec ted with the foreign policy of the. country is inferior to no domestic question whatever. Tbe time has come for the people of the United States to declare themselves in favor »f fr*c -eas and progressive free trade throughcut th* world. And, by solemn manifestations, tc place their moral influence by the side of then succee. ful example. ’ Second—Resolved, That our geographical < and political position with reference to the oth ar States of this Continent, no less than the interests of our commerce and the. developmental of our growing power, requires that we hold to the sacred principles involved in the Monroe doctrine. Their bearing and import admit ol no misconstruction, and shonld be applied with unbending rigidity. Third—Resolved, That the great highway which Nature as well as the assent of the Stales most immediately interested in its maintenance has marked out lor the free communication be tween the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans,con stitutes one of the most important achievements to be realized by the spirit of moderation, in the unconquerable energy of our people, ami that rcsnlt should be secured bv a timely and efficient exertion of the control which we hav< a right to claim over it. And no power on earth should be suffered to impede or clog ih by any interference with relations that it may suit our policy to establish with the government of the States within whose domin ion it lies ; and we can, under no circumstan ces, surrender our preponderate, in the adjust ment of all questions arising out of it. Fourthly—Besolved, That in view of s commanding nn interest, the people of the Uni ted States, cannot but sympathise the efforts which are being made by the people of Central America to regenerate that portion of the Con tinent which .covers the f assage across the oceanic Isthmus. Fifthly—Resolved, That the Democratic party will expect from the next Administration every proper < ffort to be m.tde to insure out ascendancey in the Gulf of Mexico, and main tain a permanent protection of the great out lets through which are emptied into its water, the products raised on the soil, and commodi dities created by the industry, of the peoph of our Western valleys and the Union at largt 4®c- A gentleman by the n >me of Pitman. met with an accident on the Muscogee rail road a few days since, which rendered it newssan for him to have one of his legs amputated.

There is nothing new iu the affairs of Eog and. From t .eAugsta Constitutionalist “ 7'lie repeal of tbe Missouri Compromise law is regarded by the Fillmore paity as reck less and unwise," aud Mr. Fillmore views ’t with “profound regret,” aud yet he is claimed as a "true friend of the South.”— Augusta Constitutionalist. Such flings as the above come with an ill grace at the present day. We ask tbe Consti tutionalist w. s not Mr. Buchanan, its o wn can didate, also “opposed to the repeal of tlfo M is souri Compromise,” and did he not regard that measure as “reckless and unwise?” lube, too, hostile to the South ? We invite an answer. Sua. Republican, 11M, tn*/. 1 he Savannah Republican will (inn us prompt to answer their question, by giving a portion of the reply of Mr. Buchanan, in a letter, to Senator Slidell, dated London. D c. 28 1855 and published iu the Washington Union, April 4th, 1856: “The question has been settled by Congress and this settlement should be inflexibly main tained. The Missouri Compromise is gone, and gone forever. But no assault should be made upon those Democrats who maiutaind it, provi ded they are now willing, in good lailh, to maintain the settlement us it exists. Such on uudeistandinir is wise ar4 just in itself. “It is well known how 1 labored in compa ny with southern men to have this line exten ded to the Pacific ocean. But it has departed Ihe time for it has passed away, and I verily believe that the best—nay, the only—mode now left ol putting down the fanatical reckless spir it of Abolition at the North,’is to adhere to the existing settlement without the slightest thought or appearance of wavering and with out regarding any stoim which may be raised against it." There is nothing to be found in this language about the “profound regret" felt, nor no hope indulged of bringing back the country to tbe enactment, of that measure. When Mr. Buchanan returned from England be was waited upon by a committee ot the Pennsylvania Btate Democratic Convention, who presented him a series of resolutions adop ted by the Convention. Oue of them read thus : Resolved, That in the repeal of the act known as the Missouri Compromi.e Aet, and the pas sage of the net organizing the Territories of Kansas and Nebraska, fee from unconstitu tional restrictions, the ’ast Congress performed a work of patriotic sacrifice, in the meetimr the demands of sectional excitement by unshaken adherence so the fundamental law. Mr. Buchanan, in bis reply said, “ I hear tily adopt the resolutions of tha Convention." As our friends below have invited an answer wo have given them this very hurried one—but we think it will do. The Nomination in New York.—The New York Journal of Commerce says: The news of the nomination was received by the Democrats of this city with rejoicing. The welk’n was soon made to ring with peals of cannon, which continued, atshort intervals, for at least an honr The gun used on the occa sion, was captured from the British at Sara toga, und it wus fired by the Buchanan Vol unteer Association. Li the evening, a hundred guns were fired under the auspices of the. Dem ocratic General Committee. Tammany Hal was illuminated, and a huge bonfire built in front of it. The Tammany ratification will lu kc place on Wednesday evening next. Tbe appointment is welt received by the public generally. Mr. Buchanan’s 'election will be considered a guarantee for domestic quiet on the basis of the Constitution, and for friendly relations with foreign powers. We think we can promise h m a liberal support from the commercial community of this city. fiGY* I here are a couple of Abolition editors *iu Connecticut who think, iu view of the canning administered to Possum ciumuer. tliut "Brooks ought to be shut dowu like a wild beast,” and that “the elaves of tbe . outh ought to be set free, and placed in a condition to take care of themselves." Wo honestly believe that a regi ment o! just such fellows as toese Wouldn’t venture u light with the aforesaid Brooks single- Lauded, especially it Broukd had a new Rutm percba cane. ® As to placing the Southern slaves upon a ■war looting,” wc should want no better troops i Lun they, armed with h'K-s and pitchfbika, to drive ail such miscreant Abolitionists ucrosa the Canada line. It is a misfortune of AbolU tionism that its votaries won't fight. One of these tallows, who proposes to arm and instigate the staves of the whole Southern country to a servile war against the whites, in the same number of his paper urges the women to arm themselves and go to Kansas, and there assit in upholding “freedom.” We like the idea.
