From the Macon (Ga.) Journal Of February ID
Inconsistency exposed.

The present Democratic Legislature having
made "the admission of California as State, in
its present pretended organization ground for
the southern convention with the view Of resisting
such admission, TO the dissolution Of the Union,
it may not be amiss to remind that party of the
position they occupied on that subject in ls4s.
at convention of the Democratic party held in Mil
ledgevile, December2s lS47, to appoint delegates
to the Baltimore convention to nominate a cand-
date for President, the following resolution was
unanimously adopted:
"Resolved, That the people of the South do not
ask of Congress to establish the institution of
slavery in any Of the territory that may be ac-
quired by the United States. They simply require
that the inhabitants Of each Territory shall be left free
TO determine for Themselves toheter the institution Of
slavery shall shall not form part Of their social
system"
This explicit enough, but they did not stop
at that. In June lS4s, they held another conpen-
ion in Mledgevile TO ratify the nomination of the
Baltimore convention, and again made a declara-
ton of their principles, among which may be found
the following resolution:
"Rssolped, That the opinions of the Democracy
of Georgia, on the question of slavery in the Terri
tories correctly set forth in the resolution of the
late Democratic convention at Milledgevile, in De-
cember last which declares that the people Of the
South do not ask Of Congress to establish the inst
tuition of slavery an any of the Territories that may
be acquired by the United States They simply re-
qurc that the inhabitants of each Territory shall be
left free 20 determine for themselves whether the
institution of slavery shall shall not form part
of their social system
The people of California have determined that
''slavery shall not form part Of their social sys
tenn" and the Democracy of Georgia in ls4s said
they have right TO do so, if such should be their
determination; but now they say, If Congress
should admit California State into the Union,
with the prohibition of slavery in her constitution,
IL will be cause for calling convention Of the peo-
pie Of this State 10 take into consideration the mode
and measure Of redress
Why this change What has caused the De
mocracy 10 turn such sudden somerset II the
right 70 determine this question for themselves be-
longed TO the people Of the Territories in lS4s (and
said the sachems and head men of the Democratic
party, in full council assembled,) what has de-
privcd them Of the right in 1882 We AJAX for in
formation. We must have light this subject
before we can consent 10 go with the Democracy in
their crusade against the Union.

TEMPERANCE FAnLE.-The rats once assembled
in large cellar to devise some method Of safety in
getting the bait from a small trap which lay near,
having numbers Of their friends and relations
snatched from them by its mercicss jaws. After
many long speeches, and the proposal Of many
erect, said, Il is my opinion that II with paw
we keep down the spring, We can safely take the
food from the trap with the other" All the rats
present loudly squeeled assent, and slapped their
tails in applause. The meeting adjourned, and the
rats retired 10 their homes but the dsvastatons Of
the trap being by no means diminished, the rats
were forced 20 call another " convention" The
elders just assembled had commenced their delibe-
rations, when all startled by faint voice, and
poor rat with only three legs, limping into the
ring stood up 20 speak. All were instantly silent,
when stretching out the bleeding remains OF his leg
he said I" My friends have tried the method you
proposed, and you sec the result Now let me sug-
