The Albany Putuot, Democratic Southern
Rights paper, is out 10 series OF articles, i
favor If q union of all parties of the South i
the Baltimore convention, on the basis of tn
Georges, platform. We extract the following
from il:
=" RE UNION OF SOUTHERN REPUBLICANS
The more we reflect upon the present condition
of political questions and political parties il
Georgia and other Southern States the more
firmly we are convinced that IL is The duty Of al
Southern republicans 10 concede 10 each other nm
important differences Of opinion, which seem to
be almost the only subjects of division among
us, and that The South should re unite, upon the
old Democratic republican and Stale Rights
creed. in the Baltimore convention. The effect
of such course would be, to secure correct
policy in the administration of the government
and cessation of attempts at interference with
the domestic affairs of the several States. If we
are weak, and our rights are in danger, it is
owing 10 our divisions, and remedy may be
found in our union.
We agree in the principles of the old repub
lican creed which have been reiterated by the
Baltimore Democratic convention, and all par
ties in the South have agreed that slavery agita-
ton should cease, and thai il is proper that a
declaration to that effect should be made by thai
party 10Th Which The South shall act. We neither
concede nor ask surrender Of principles; but
we ask that mutual concessions on unimportant
questions and obsolete issues, and fraternal
spirit, shall make way for cordial union OF
Southern men upon practical issues-the prin-
ciples and the policy, which should govern in
conducting the affairs of the nation"
In another article, the editor says
"What then binders our cordial union, and
the cOnsummation Of our security! Is it the
fnality of the compromise measures? THESE
HAVE BEEN ACQUIEsCED IN AND RECOG NIZED AS
FINAL, by ALL MEN OF ALL PARTIES IN THE
SOUTH, AND NO ONE SEEKS TO DISTURB THEM.
There is no good reason then TO oppose our
union, and there are strong and weighty reasons
why AL SOUTHERN MEN SHOULD UNITE TO
MAINTAIN THE PRINCIPLES AND THE MEASURES
WHICH WE HAVE INDICATED.
We then call upon all Southern men who
are Democratic republicans and State Rights
men in principle, to unite with US, without re-
gard to former political association, in the seec
ton and support Of sound Democrats for Presi
dent and Vice President, and in The support Of
that national policy 'ohich is in agreement 10Th
our principles"

W-The Mobile Register of the 23d ultimo
mentions the fact that WAsHINGToN's birthday
was celebrated in New Orleans on its anniversa
ry day. The Register says:
Washington's birthday was celebrated in New
Orleans yesterday, by the civic societies and the
military. We observe that young Bermudez, a
formerly very talented student of Spring Hill
college, near this CITY, was to deliver an Grafton
in Lyceum Hall, and George w. Hardy, ESQ.,, to
read the Farewell Address.
Our neighbors of the Crescent city will thus
be, we suppose. the only community in the
Union, who will commemorate this great ami
versary on the Sabbath day. Here and else
where its celebration is deferred until to-day,
from respect to the sauctity of Sunday. But
in New Orleans, the feelings and customs of
Catholic countries, which recognize the seventh
day as proper occasion for festivities, recrea-
tons and amusements, are still 80 prevalent that
they do not regard our Puritnnic prejudces,-
but think the better tho day the better the
deed" There might certainly be worse ways
of spending the Sabbath than in a reverental
observance of the birthday of the Father of his
Country.

More FlnaIItY.

1t seems that the Compromise measures can.
not be brought to "a finality" in either House.
In the Senate the debate on Mr.. FooTE's resolu-
ton, as amended, still drags its slow length
along forming the text for occasional personal
explanations, and producing that kind of har-
mony of which its author was ever 80 fond.
The prospect of bringing it to any decisive vote
is rather more remote now than on the day OF
its introduction. In the House, Mr. FITcH flung
in his resolution on Monday, as stated in our re-
proposition to suspend the rules for its intro
duction, ia not to be regarded as test vote, for
the record shows names in the affirmative which
could never be counted on in its favor, under any
circumstances.
The object of such in bringing it up, must
have been to kill it. Whenever it may be
brought up, very extensive lodging may be
looked for. Mr.. FITCH, who introduced it, voted
against the Fugitive slave bill on its passage He
must have been induced to reconsider his oppo
stion to it, on one of two grounds--either re-
garding the law practically as dead letter, or
feeling himself instructed, as it were by the re-
cent endorsement of the Compromise, as ga
fnality in its totality"
The agitation on this subject seems des-
tined never to be quieted. Its troubled ghost
will not be permitted to rest by its officious
friends-who, while Justify proclaiming it as a
perfect settlement, still persist in unsettling it,
and disturbing the existing armistice.

mr.. Summers New Idea.

The New Orleans Courier denies Mr.. Sum-
NER's claim to the" new idea" in relation to the
public lands, claimed by him. 1t says:
"Mr. Sumner, U. s. Senator from Massachu-
sets, in his recent speech Oh the public lands,
intimates that injustice has been done the new
States in denying them the right to tax the
public domain. This, says Mr.. Sumner, is a
new idea.
"The senator is in error The idea is not
new. 1t was advanced long since-during the
administration of John Quincy Adams, we be.
lieve-by the late Ninian Edwards, Senator from
Illinois, in the most elaborate and argumenta-
tive speech ever delivered in the Senate on the
subject of the public lands"

A great influx of population from the Older
