ocion of being Slave, and thus mace iia0i'
even though free to be sold for jali-iecs '-"aS
tainted by Gen r. III. Saunders with beng IN
,a5olitionist!. This charge M-. K. d. DAVIS de.
MED, adding the following, which we must con
slider perspicuous and conclusive, VIZ
Il was impossible far the NORTH u 0e IN Javo' 9
,holitiou. because if the negroes were liberated
,hev would oyerrun the free States, which would
rroya ,be greatest calamity that could beal them.
II me Stare Suites nere TO abolish SLarery, NJ
,rould be in tacor Of an immediate dissolution OF TIE
Union rather than encounter such curse as Geing
oyerrun with negroes. Yes, immediate Abolition
would be signal for final dissolution on the part
OF the Northern States: II should ever take place
j, must be gradual or that population would ial!
upon Them and their poor-houscs would be hlled
with this class of people. As much as he pnZed
the Union, he did not hesitate to declare that ne
nould rather it DISSOLVED than 10 encounter INC
effects Of immediate Abolition Of St0cery, lie was
no Abotionist, and he wanted Southern gentlemen
10 dvest themselves OF all apprehension on this
subject because he assured them that 1t was not to
the interest of the North TO have this population lei
loose upon them True. he did not regret that
Slavery had been abolished in the State OF New,
York but he would regret TO see Slavery abolished
in the South, which would prove burden end
tax TO them.
1t NAV be that this sort of doctrine is con-
genial to the feelings of the People Of Duchess
and Putnam Counties, but we doubt It, AT any
rate, we trust they will think the matter over,
and make up their minds upon It, But, tor our
own part, we must say that OF all atfoclous
avowals from Northern men with Southern
hit no. it would be un Just to the South to call
such as those Southern principles The South
ern States never threatened Us with Disunlon
when nc abolished Slavery-never assumed that
they had any right to NEEDLE with the matter at
all. Yet here is Northern Representative Of
Freemen-a superfne Democrat, Of course-as-
sumne to threaten the Southern States with
Dissolution Of the Union if they shall venture to
reduce the principles of the Declaration Of indie
pendencc to practice within their own limits ex-
clusivcly Can insolence and tyranny go far
ther?
Mr.. Davis was questioned by his dissenting
colleague, Mr.. Stetson, as TO the force OF his
avowal above quoted, but he deliberately reaf.
irned it We follow the report Of The Madlso
Man.
u Our State Legislature meets tomorrow,
and we hope to publish Gov Bouck's Message III
our next paper, which will be issued on Wednes-
day morning. We have already received by OK
press document purportlng TO be F." Soar hroaf
lIeSsitcA der Segont," seeming to be the artl-
Gle but there is so much humor and truth in i.
that wc cannot believe il genuine, and must
await further adyces. Those who wish TO OK

find copies Of this suspicious document in the
hands OF some OF the ncwsboys.

CEoRGlA.--The Senate on the Dist passed d
bill. by 80 to 80, to levy and collect tax for the
years 1874 and AS. This is the last of the mea-
surcs reported by the Committee of Finance to re

reported that the State has now 100000 III Spc

P. S. Sincethe above was in type, we have ad-
vices of the adjournment of the Legislature on
Saturday the 23d, after a Session of Al days,
during which l24 acts were passed a District
ing Law was passed-we believe the one dlvld-
ing the State shown in table lately published
by us, but we are not certain, as at last spc-
cihc adyices the Senate had not assented to the
amendments Of the House embodied in our state
ment.
The most important of these acts, is that for con
tinuing the Western and Atlantic Ralroad-t ap-
proprates for the purpose State bonds 10 the amount
of two hundred and seventy thousand dollars, which
sum is considered sufficient to finish the road and
put it in operation as far as Cross Plains. TheGov-
ernor is also authorized by tue act to place at hard
labor upon the road, rather upon the works of the
State, the convicts who may hereafter be sentenced
