The Union Party.

The subjoined remarks from the Miledge-
vile Recorder indicate the progress Of the
movement of the Wing section of the Union
party OF Georgia to send delegates to Baltimore,
together with the reasoning of journalist
whose moderation and consistency in season
OF peril entitle his opinions to full share of
attention. We do not err, we think, in re
garding the Recorder as an exponent of the
views of large proportion of the conservative
politicians Of central Georgia:
eve notice with pleasure the prompt calls for
county meetings in various parts of the State in
favor of Fillmore and the Compromise. We are
cheered at the prompt action of Macon county, of
DeKalb, Sumter, Monroe, Baldwin, Bib, and to
hear that many other counties will. probably ere
this, have called similar meetings Let the voice
OF the people be heard, and all is well.
We have noticed hardly any objection to this
determination Of the people from any quarter. The
il too plain to admit of cavl. So far from re.
firing from Constitutional Union platform, it is
but an efficient move to carry out and to extend
that platform beyond Georgia, and to national
ize it.
eff our delegates succeed in having that platform
adopted by the National Convention at Baltimore,
they will have achieved efficient service for the
Constitutional party and for the country. If that
convention refuses to stand upon that patform-if
1t thus avowedly declares that the Constitution of
the United States is not broad enough and sound
enough for it, and thus repudiates it, the PEG
pie Of the South at all events ought 10 know
tour delegates will retire from such treason
able party, and thus authoritatvely proclaim
to the people that they must lookto another organ
irstion for the maintenance Of their rights and the
salvation Of the Constitution
"Thus the present action of the people will either
nationalist their Constitutional Union platform or,
in case of it's reputation by the convention rctr.
ing from it. in company with our Southern sister
States, and all that is sound in that body from the
North, will present party OF sufficient power
and extent as TO be efficient for the purposes of it's
organization. Can there be objection to thisf Ia
no, the Constitutional Union party, and the country
efficiently served in thisI Let us but achieve the
adoption Of our principles by the National Conven
ton, and the continuance in the Chief Magistracy
Of our Constitutional Union President, and we can
conceive OF no greater or more desirable service
which be achieved for the peace Of the country
the preservation Of the Constitution, and the main
tenance Of the rights ofal under it. Every South
ern State, represented IA they will be in that con.
vention, will present array so formidable and
imposing that Constitutional Unionism mus be
heard and must be respected by it,"

Railroads In NIisaouri.

The Senate bill granting the right of way
and donations of land to Missouri, to aid in the
construction Of railroads in that State, passed
the House yesterday, and now only awaits the
concurrence of the Senate in regard to amend
ments that have been introduced.
For this result the citizens of Missouri are
largely indebted to the unremitting efforts OF
the Hon. JOHN G. MILLER, member for the
third Congressional district Of that State. The
speech delivered some time since by the hon
orable gentleman was forcible exposition of
the right and duty of the Government to pro-
mote the development of western resources by
auxiliary grants of land; and the success Of this
measure, notwithstanding the recurrence of
obstacles of no ordinary kind at every stage of
It's progress, may, without injustice to others,
be in the main attributed to the tact and zeal
which he has brought into play in its behalf

Obs,ruction. I'm the Mi..l,,ippi.

A memorial addressed 10 Congress by the
New Orleans Chamber of Commerce presents
a strong appeal in behalf OF an appropriation to
remove distractions now found in a formidable
shape at the mouth of the Mississippi. Within
the last few weeks, the memorialists state,
nearly forty vessels have been aground on the
bar for periods varying from two days to eight
weeks, in all cases experiencing injury, and in
many instances suffering the loss Of parts of
the cargoes. The lowest estimate of the ag-
gregate losses accruing from these detentions is
fixed at $500, 900, independent of the contin-
gent loss arising from fluctuations and loss Of
markets consequent upon the delay Of merchan-
disc shipped to meet certain condition of
things abroad, which may be entirely changed
by the undue detention Of the property in New
OreaDs.'
To exhibit the extent of the outward current
Of trade which has to encounter these obstacles,
the memorial gives tabular statement Of the
average annual quantity and value of the chief
articles:

The ArLansss Democracy.

The Little Rock Gazette, a staunch ad-
mirer Of Mr.. BoRLASD's Senatorial career, pub
fishes as from a correspondent cruel expose
Of the manner in which the members of the
Arkansas Democratic Convention managed the
matters entrusted TO them. The writer charges
that their proceedings were "any thing but
fair, )" that a majority Of the convention were
not "actuated by Democratic principles" and
that they event it" on what he calls the ego
it-blnd STYLE" "to suit the family man and
the OCCASION"
Entering into detail, he arraigns them on a
succession Of charges, each sufficient. in his
judgment, to damn the convention in the esti-
nation Of the "unterrfied" of Arkansas. He
alleges that non qualified persons. were sd-
mitted to vote; that non-qualifed votes de-
feated motions for an examination OF creden-
tails; that non qualified individuals acted on
the committee TO report the basis for voting in
convention; that one member voted as proxy
for three counties, without authority so to do;
that three men, acting as proxies for seven
cosniies,. being nearly one-fourih Of the whole
represented, "in great measure controlled all
the, proceedings Of the conventon;' that their
action upset the orthodox Democratic practice
of the State; and, finally, that in pursuance Of
secret bargain, effected in Major GRriR's pri-
vate room, these and sundry other irregularities
were perpetrated to secure the nomination for
office of'partes identified with the prevailing
family interest, and in no way enjoying the
confidence Of the people. The correspondent
adds that the mildest phrase applicable to the
case is, that "the most of the proceedings Of
the convention look suspicious"-that they
were governed by motives neither pure nor dis
interested-and that their course was "plainly
and clearly at variance with all former Demo
cratic usage"
We glance thus briefly at this addition to the
catalogue Of family quarres" for the purpose
Of reminding the Union Of the necessity Of
scanning closely the Democratic horizon before
venturing TO chaunt another pecan on the har-
monies Of its party.

banquet OF tho 81. NichoIa. Society

The ~. Nicholas Society, at New York, gave an
entertainment at the Astor House in New York on
"wednesday evening, which is described as an at
tractive and imposing affair. The New York En-
pren in describing il, says:
"About one hundred and fifty persons we're
present upon this occasion.
"Hon. Ogden Hoffman, the President Of the ST.
Nicholas Society, (of members of which the party
was principally made upD presided in an old
fashioned Dutch cooked hat and had oc aston dur
ing the evening, To make several short speeches,
besides his principal OF welcome TO the rucsts
He was the iic OF the affair, and carried il through
with inimitable spirit.
next him sat Captain Byl de vroc, the COM
mandcr OF the Prince of Orange and at the same
table several others Of the officers of the frigete.
Aiss, representatives Of other associations in this
city, as usual, and few other invited guests.
Captain de Vroe replied TO the speech Of Mr.. Hof-
man, briefly, but happily. Other speeches were
made by different gentlemen present; J. Depeys-
ter Ogden, esq, Rev. DR.. vermilyea, &c.
"Mr Webster, who had arrived in town during
the day, and had felt obliged to decline the invi-
taon OF the Society To be present at the banquet.
was induced, some time after the removal OF the
cloth, TO Join the festive party for short space
His entrance into ii hall the eignal for con-
tnuous rounds Of hearty cheers and, on his health
being proposed, he made speech, full OF interest.
He spoke of Dutch history and character, Dutch
commerce, industry and enterprise, enchanting
the attention of all present by his cloqucnce for
three quarters of hour. II is said to have been
one of Mr.. Webster's bappiest and characteristic
Efforts"
The republic. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1849-1853, 1852-05-29

"While Mr.. Parker was speaking, somebody
sent a note to the platform, announcing that Mr..
Sumner had to day introduced bill for the repeal
OF the Fugitive Slave law. This mistake, of
course, but ii was received with frantic manifesto
tions of JOY, and three times three cheers for Sum
ner, which made the building shake.
''Some one in the gallery called for three cheers
for Webster, and they were given most heartily
by at least half of the audience"
1t is idle to say that proceedings Of this char
acter are unworthy of notice because they
emanate from fraction of the northern people,
Let II be granted that the WENDELL PHIL
LIpsEs, the GARRIsoNs, the PARHERs, and
other orators of the Pillsbury school are repu-
dated by the great bulk of the citizens Of
Massachusetts, still the fact that such men
pursue their traitorous vocation amidst the
cheers Of crowded audiences is sufficient to
awaken apprehension in the mind Of every
lover of peace, and to justify more frequent
references to the subject than have Of late been
made by any southern journalist.
We are willing 20 believe that members of
the Society of Friends do not endorse the BIAS
phemies of GARRISON or PILLsBURY; but the
whole are nevertheless found aboring in unison
to keep alive the bitterest form of sectional
strife, and to excite the North to manifesto
ton of hostility to the operation of the Fugitive
Slave law. Whatever differences may exist
between the professedly pous members of the
old anti-slavery organization and the avowed
infidels of the ocalled Liberty party" their
objects are the same, anSsshe tendencies of their
movements alike destructive. One organiza-
ton petitions Congress for a repeal Of the Flu
gitive Slave law-the other labors unremit-
tingly TO excite opposition to that law; and, if
possible, to impede It's operation. The dstnc-
ton between them is merely that which exists
between diluted treason and treason cover
proof"
