!: MR.. KING, OF GEORGIA.

This gentleman has written letter to the editor
of the 4ugusta (Geo.) Constitutionalist, in which
he denies the charges of inconsistency made against
him in that paper He also asks swhat are the great
principles which the Democratic Party profess"
which he has abandoned, and declares that he will
stand or fall with that party. He says, however,
that it is enough for him to know that some of his
friends are dissatisfied, and that he will not embar-
rass them by being candidate for reelection to
the Senate. @=
The editor points out some of the discrepancies of
Mr.. King, of which that gentleman appears to be
strangely unconscious. He was twice elected as the
friend of General Jackson's Administration, and in
his late speech he condemns that Administration
and its measures. The Legislature of Georgia
have repeatedly ayowed that they had unbounded
| confidence in the Administration of Gen.Jackson,
and that they approved of all its measures, without
exception. They have also repeatedly declared
/ their hostility to national bank, and Mr. King in
1884 coincided with these declaraions but in 1887
his views are entirely changed. In 1884, Mr. H.,
said the removal of the Deposites was inexpedient
but believed the President to be governed by pure
motives but in 1887 he reverses his position
Such are few Of the glaring contradietions which
the Senator endeavors to reconcile under the plea
! of consistency. That which was patriotic and
praseworthy in 1884, has become system of sas-
fsumption, deception and putting" in 1887. Surely

ADOPTED CITIZENS.

Meetings have been held in New York and Bal
tmore, and we believe other places, to express the
opinions of the friends of civil and religious liberty
and their sympathy in behalf of their Irish fellow
citizens in the city of Boston, who have suffered
many unproyoked outrages. The most recent of
these, was attack on the "Montgomery guards
while on parade in that city; for which conduct
the assalants have been punished according to law
The forbearance of the guards on the occasion a.
bove alluded to, was worthy of the highest praise,
and we pleased to find that their hopes of legal
redress were realized.
The proceedings of these meetings consist of
Preamble and Resolutions relative to the particu-
lar subject of the rights of foreigners who have be-
come citizens; rights which no one ought to dis
pute, as they sanctioned both by law and usage.
These meetings justly condemn the spirit of pro-
scription, engendered by bigotry, which is mani
tested in Boston particularly, and especially direct
ed against the emigrants from Ireland. 1t is much
TO be deplored that those who have sought refuge
in this land of liberty should be subject to the
pricious despotism of lawless mobs-snore frghtful
than the iron rule from which the victims have
escaped. ~
The press-the newspaper press, may come, in
for full share of the blame which attends the dis
graceful consummation of infuriated passion. The
press has failed to censure, without discrimination
the yioaters of the public order and the rights Of
man, by yielding to the 'respectabity" of certain
mobs, the independence of its character. The
press has done than this, 1t has incited the
people to riot and bloodshed. In almost every
warmly contested election, it has, in language moi
to be misunderstood, urged the different partizans
to violence-especially in our large cities--th
seats of learning wealth and arstocratic splendor
the seats TOO of RIGHTEOUSNESS and crime. Wher
the press shall raise its voice against all violations
of the public peace, and the law shall be brough
to operate equally upon aH-then, & not till thel
will this terrible spirit of insubordination be sub
I dued.

dstermination to carry it through. Nicaragua Lake

fgreat depth, and navigable for the largest yes
rss. 1t enters the Caribbean Sea by the river ST

the waters of Lake Leon, which is ten miles to the
Aoth west, by navigable river. The Leon is but
hrteen miles from the Pacific, and but five from

arbbean Sea is that part of the Atlantic Ocean
