THE DEMOCRACY OF PIKE.

BY reference 10 the editorial head of this pa
per, it win be seen that a call is made by "Many
Democrats" upon the party in the county, TO
meet at Bowling Green on Monday, the 4th day
Of February, being first day of County Court,
for the purpose Of transacting important business
to the party.
Upon occasions of the kind, it is important, in
every particular, that as many as well can should
attend from all parts of the county. Then. the
responsibility of action or no action will rest
with the masses; and where action is had, the
sanction Of the people is with it. We hope,
then, to see the "lion hearted democracy" there
ready and williag to put shoulder to shoulder,
= for the sake of the eoaHe-and, if necessary, "to
pull a long pull, a strong pull, and a pull alto
gather" until our gallant democratic ship rides
t~riumphantly through the approaching political
storm.

THE MeMBEns OF CoNeREss FROM ALA.

Alabama have addressed a letter to the
Legislature ofthat State, through the Gov
ernor, in which they announce that, in their
Judgment, "the affairs of the Government
have reached crisis of no ordinary mo-
ment." In their letter they also say:
We think we are well acquainted with
the spirit Of the people of Alabama, and we
believe that it is their fixed purpose never
to submit to the threatened encroachment
on their rights-that they will never sub
init TO any act of the Government of the
United States which excludes slavery from
territory acquired from Mexico, and which
is the property Of the States o fthis Union:
that they will never submit to any act of the
Government abolishing slavery in the Dis
trict of Columbia, and that they will de.
mand that the provisions of 1.-THE Constitution
in regard to their property shall be faith
fully observed.

INDEPENDENCE OF THoucHT AND AcTIoN.
good old Scotch song, ga mans q
man for a. that" has in it some glorious
truths. There is nothing which more EN-.
pbatically bespeaks a true nobility Of soul
in a man than to see him form his opinions
matursly, and in all his intercourse With
his fellow men, whetheri in politics. religion
OF mere social duties, maintain them un-
H~inchingly until convinced Of error in judg-
ment. The finn and independent man, if
consistent, moderate, and courteous, will
always command the respect Of those Who
oppose his doctrines; while the vacillating
and yielding man, who, for paltry interest,
will yield his judgement to the dictates Of
others, is seldom commended even By those
into whose keeping his opinion has been
surrendered. The young should early Gull
tivate decision of character, and ipdepen-
dence Of thought and action, always defer.
ring to the judgment of the experienced, yet
never yielding their own opinion, without
careful investigation and a conviction Of
error.

GEORGIA LEG1sLATuRE-Ercitement and
Temporary AdSOurnment-The Legisla-
ture of Georgia has adopted an extensive
report from its committee on the state Of
the republic, and adjourned for one month,
to see what Congress intends to do with the
Wilmot Proviso. Appended to this report
is a preamble and resolutions, declaring the
rights Of the South with regard to slave
property, under the constitution, and con-
Guiding with the following:
ResoLrcd, That in the event Of the ras-
sage of the Wilmot Proviso by Congress,
the abolition of slavery in the District Of
Columbia, tie admission of California as q
State, in its present pretended organization,
or the continued refusal Of the non-slave-
holding States to deliver up fugitive slaves
as provided in the constitution, it will be-
come the immediate and imperative duty
Of the people Of this State to meet in con
~ventinn to take INTO consideration the mode
and measure Of redress.
ResoIred, That the people Of Georgia
entertain an ardent feeling Of devotion to
the union Of these States, and that nothing
short of a persistence in the present system
of encroachment upon our rights BY the non
slaveholding States can induce us to con-
template the possibility Of a dissolution.

The RECORD AGAIN.-This little sheet has
just come TO us in the garb Of distress, implorine
mercy. Such q condition never fails to excite
our compassion. We therefore dismiss from
further castigation the miserable man who con-
ducts il, with our assurances of unaffected pity.
There is every reason to believe that sincere
repentance has penetrated his heart, and we have
no disposition to disturb him in his "sackcloth
and ashes" The lessons recently given, we
hope, will complete the work of regeneration,
and change him into a wiser and better man.
We always feel for the miseries of others, and
in this instance the mere form ofhumanity, ago
missed by deep distress, has aroused our sympa-
thy. The starting tear, with selE-rebuke, was
only checked by one unfortunate remark about
clicking" which we are charitable enough to
believe was used without design to offend, and
without the least hostile or pugnacious intention.

any relief to his present sufferings and agonised
feelings, we now make proof Of the sincerity oil
uur sympathy, by candidly assuring him that he
is perfectly welcometo crafty himself at any mo.
ment, and WI pledge ourselves to release him
from the legal consequences of the act. If he
should feel any delicacy in approaching US on this
subject, we beg of him to cast it aside, for our
FEELING generosity would prompt Us to extend
'OGrm and most hearty reception. Anything to

CONDITION OF ROME.-The New York
Courier contains the following extract from
a letter from Rome:
ROME, November l4th, lS49.
The late reorganization Of the French
Cabinet has upset the recent arrangements,
and, at the last conclave Of the Cardinals,
it was decided that the return of Plus TX.
should be indefinitely postponed. Some
" Of TIE Cardinals have found their way
back to Rome, and have installed themselves
in their old palaces; the return Of the whole
college will probably procede that Of the
Pope by several weeks. Several regiments
of Spanish cavalry have just arrived, and q
more ill-visaged, ungainly set have not
seen this many a day. The French troops
have not left, and the time of their depar-
ture is altogether uncertain.
The people, on account of the grievous
stagnation Of all business, are impatient fol-
the establishment of a regular govern
ment, and deputations have been sent to
Portici by the Municipal Board and Cham
Der Of Commerce, praying Plus TX. to re-
sumo his authority; they received assuran-
ces of sympathy and good will but no def
mite promise. Truly the state Of things
here is a little odd. The Sovereign refus-
es to exercise his sovereignty; the people
render their allegiance because they CAM
help it, aud a third party ~noxious to both,
rules in spite of its inclinations. How long
this anomalous condition is to continue no
body can divine.
