THE OTHER FACE.
From the Due West Is. c. Telescope, June S, 1855
THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE AFRICAN

From the Due West Is. c. Telescope, June s, 1855.
THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE AFRICAN
A friend remarked to US, the other day,
that there was an evident disposition on the
part of Southern people to improve the condi
ton of the African in this country. We think
so too. Any one who reads the history of the
times must see it. We do not think that the
institution of Slavery is any less stable-that
there is anything like disposition to give it
up. But there is a manifest disposition to lop
off the abuses of the system, and elevate the
slave to the position of an intelligent servant
to make him mentally and morally all that his
nature and position will allow.
In proof, we make few extracts from the
papers of the day. The editor of the Southern
Presbyterian says:
ave hail with special gratitude to God
every indication that the interest on behalf of
the spiritual welfare of our slave population is
increasing in extent and favor. Let us labor
on in faith and patience, regardless of the OBJ
loquy which man may cast upon us or our
work, if only we may have the presence of
Gods Spirit as the sure token of His favor"
A correspondent of the Presbyterian Wit-
ness, published in Knoxville, Tennessee, says :
"The Presbyterian Church of Jonesborough
provide for their servants to attend the Sab

THE GEORGIA PLATFORM.
Slavery in Kansas-Retaliationo on the Free States

The Georgia Democratic Convention, which
assembled at Milledgevlle, OH the 9th Of June,
after nominating, for Governor of the State,
Herschel '. johnson, passed a series of resolu-
tons, which, with the exception of one or two
condemning the principles of the Know Moth
ing party, relate to Slavery, and take extreme
ground on that question. Among them are the
following
Resolped, That we approve and endorse the
action of our last Congress in the passage of the
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 ius.;Ges it, to
form republican State Constitution, with or
without Slavery, a. ,ney may determine, and be
admitted int the Union on an qhual footing
with ...e other States; and that her rejection by
Congress, on account Of Slavery, would be Just
cause for the disruption of all the ties that bind
the State of Georgia to the Union.
Resolred, That adopt as our own the fol-
lowing resolution, passed unanimously by the
last Legislature Of Georgia.
t. ResOtced, (by the General Assembly of the
State of Georgia. That opposition to the prn.
ciples Of the Nebraska bill, in relation to the
subject of Slavery, is regarded by the people Of
Georgia as hostility to the people of the South !;
and that all persons who partake in such oppo-
sition are unfit to be recognised as component
parts of any party or organization not hostile to
the South"
Resolced That in accordance with the above
resolution, whilst we are willing to act in party
association with all sound and reliable men in
every section of the Union, we are not willing
to affiliate with any party that shall not recog.
Mise, approve, and carry out, the principles and
provisions Of the Nebraska Kansas act; and
that the Democratic party of Georgia will cut off
oil party connection with every man and party,
at the North or elsewhere, that does not come
up fully and fairly to this line of action.
ResOtred, That we sympathze with the friends
of the Slavery cause in Kansas, in their manly
efforts to maintain their rights, and the rights
and interests of the Southern people, and we
rejoice at their recent victories over the paid
adventures and Jesuitical hordes of Northern
Abolitonsm; that the deep interest felt and
taken by the people of Missouri in the settle
ment Of Kansas, and the decision of the Slave
~ question in it, is both natural and proper, and
it is their right and duty to extend to their
Southern brethren in that Territory every legit-
innate and honorable sympathy and support.
Resolred, That in view of the action of the
Legislatures of Massachusetts and Vermont,
and the threatened action Of other Northern
States, virtually repeating the Fugitive Slave
Law, and denying to the citizens Of the South
| their constitutional rights, we recommend to
our next Legislature the adoption of such re-
taliatory measures as their wisdom may suggest,
aud shall be in conformity with constitutional
| obligations
