On the 9th inst, the Georgia Democratic Con-
v%ention was held at Milledgeville. The resolutions
were almost exclusively in favor of slavery. The
following is a specimen of the resolutions adop.
ted:
Resolved, That we approve and endorse the ae-
ton of our last Congress, In the passage of ths
Nebraska Kansas act, and the principles therein
established; and in conformity with these prin-
ciples, the people of Kansas have the right, when
the number of their population ~justifes it, to form
a republican State constitution, with or without
slavery, as they may determine, and be admitted
into the Union on an equal footing with the other
States, and that her rejection by Congress, on 40.
count OF slavery, would be q just cause for the dis
ruption of all the ties that bind the State Of Geor~
gia to the Union.
Resolved, That we adopt as our own the follow

~islature of Georgia:
Resolved, by the General Assembly Of the State,
OF Georgia, That opposition to the principles of
the Nebrask bill, in relation to the subject of sla-
very, is regarded by the people of Georgia as hos

sons who partake in such opposition are unfit,
to be recognized as component parts of any
party or organization not hostile to the South.

that does not como up fully and fairly to this line
of action,

OF the slavery cause in Kansas, in their manly eff.
forts to maintain their rights, and the rights and
interests OF the southern people, and we rejoice at
their recent victories over the paid adventurers and,
|Jesulticai hordes of northern abolitionists. That
the deep interest felt and taken by the people off
missouri in the settlement Of Kansas and the de-
cision OF the slavery question in it, is both naturalI
and proper, and it is their right and daty to extend,
