GEORGIA AND VERMONT.

The resolutions of the Vermont Legislature
on the subject of Slavery and Kansas, having
been forwarded according to usage to the
Governor of Georgia, Herschel V. johnson,
they were laid before the Legislature of that
State on the 2Sth ult., accompanied by a mes
sage, presenting strongly the Pro-Slavery view
of the present crisis, and recommending the
passage of an act, authorizing the Governor,
in the event of the occurrence Of any of the
contingencies specified in the resolution OF
1850, to call State Convention to consider
the time and mode of resistance, &c.
The resolutions occasioned an explosion OF
angry feeling in the Legislature. In the House,
Mr.. Jones moved to send to the Governor OF
Vermont copy of the resolves of the Georgia
Convention of 1850, enclosing "a leaden bull
let" "and powder too" added a Mr.. Terhune.
"And a coil Of rope" said Mr.. Jones. Hang
ing is too good for traitors" cried Mr.. T.
"Mr. Smith, of Union, offered the following
resolutions, the reading of which was received
with applause by the House:
Resotped, by the General Assembly of the
State of Georgia, That his Excellency the Gov
ernor be and is hereby requested to transmit
the Vermont resolutions forthwith to the deep,
dark, and fetid sink of social and political in
iquity from whence they emanated, with the
following unequivocal declaration inscribed
thereon:
"ResolUed, That Georgia, standing on her
constitutional palladium, needs not the mani
&C rawlings of hellborn fansticsm, nor stoops
from her lofty position to hold tern,Q with per
jured traitors.
"After some further discussion, the motion
to refer prevailed. A motion was then made
to print 500 copies of the Governors message
accompanying these resolutionsl and Yer
mont resolves. The House would not, for a
moment, entertain the idea of printing these
| insults; but, after some further debate, 100
copies of the message were ordered to be
printed.
|" In the Senate, the following resolution was
offered:
Resolced, That his Excellenoy President
Pierce be requested to employ sufficient num-
Der of able-bOdied Irishmen, to proceed to the
State of Vermont, and to dig ditch around
the limits of the same, and to float the thing
into the Atlantic"

REPUBLICAN ORGANIZATIONS.

We are pleased TO learn from the Secretary
Of the Republican Association OF this city, that
letters are being daily received, announcing the
formation Of similar associations in various sec.
tions Of the country, and are particularly re-
ioiced to learn that one has recently been start
ed in the city of Baltimore, Md. thus giving
evidence that the people are moving in the i'm
poriant work Of organizing.
The Association Of this city has already prov
I'd itself valuable auxiliary to the Republican
movement, by the publication and distribution
of speeches and documents Of various kinds
can better advance the cause, than by forward
ing funds to the Association here, TO aid them
IN carrying on the work.

sometimes fail to renew, but that is their look

this, has then special object in writing his
formal letter, and paradug before us the forn
dable list Of names discontinued: and that il
to rebuke us in gentle way for our opposition
10 Know Nothingism. This letter is kind OF
protest against our course, signed by himself
and some dozen of his friends-and it is no
more than respectful TO them to enter their
names son the journal"
We hope that they may live to learn. and "a

the Anti-Slavery cause by hanging it as an
appendage 10 Know Nothingism, we are sorry
for them, but let them follow out their notion.
We believe that the sooner the Anti. Slavery
movement is disengaged from all connection
with Know Noihingism, the better. This Is
our idea, and we shall be true to it. We have
our own opinions of the policy of Anti-SIaverv
men, aud shall insist upon them. no matter
who may be displeased. We denounce no
man for not asserting 10 them-no man for
opposing them-nO man for disseminating the
Era on account of them. Six thousand sinh
scribers last year signifed their dissent from
our course, by stopping the paper, as they had
perfect right to do. 1t did not convince us
that we were in error, but few thousands OF
the SIX, we believe, have discovered their error,
and we are pleased to have them as readers
again. Perhaps our Bath friends may ind out
ine'F mistake, some time-perhaps not at all
events, we hope Know Nothingism will do less
mlschief in Maine, than it has tried 10 do in
Congress for the last nine weeks.

Party-against the Oligarchy. But with men
who continue to be Wings, Democrats, or
Know Nothings, by party ties, and wish us to
cooperate, in coalition, so as to keep up their
respective parties, and secure advantages for
them, our answer is, No, never Others may do
as they please; we shall abide by our position.
Byexamining the record, it will be seen that
our remarks are not applicable to some of the
supporters of Mr.. Banks.

next Presidential election, could we see such
action as that taken by the Know Nothing
Council in Geauga county, Ohio, followed
throughout the Union. Read what follows, and
go and do likewise;
DIsBANDED-No PARTY UNION WITH PRo-sI.A.
VERY MEN.
The americans of Geauga county held a
meeting ON the 18th of January, and resolved
to dissolve all connection with the Order. They
advise all subordinate lodges in the county to
surrender their charters, and abandon the or
ganization. The resolution was adopted with
out a dissenting voice, and an address, giving
their reasons was published to the world After
setting forth the efforts which have lately been
made to convert the Order into an ally of Sla-
very, they proceed as follows:
"From all these facts, it appears that the or
ganization has been betrayed into the hands of
the enemies of Republicanism and the oppo-
nents and enemies of political principles long
cherished and deeply fixed in our minds prin-
ciples which with us have been convictions,
sentiments. We will neither be sold nor shall
our principles be bartered. Nor will We consent
to be placed in an equivocal position in the
forthcoming political contest.
"We are Republicans now and ever; and
whoever, as candidates for President and Vice
President in 1856, shall bear, honorably, the
Republican banner, to their support will we
rush-them will we sustain! Union or no
Union, we propose to sayto Slavery, Your in
stitution may come TO the uttermost limits fixed
by the Constitution, but not one inch further
and there shall the proud waves be stayed
Kansas and Nebraska shall never be cursed
with Slavery-they shall be free!
"This great issue of Freedom or Slavery,
thrust upon us by the South, must be met, tried
before the American people, and by them de-
ternined. We must not be divided by collater-
al issues-side- bar wrangling. And more-we
will not bel By our position in the Organiza-
ton we were embarrassed last fall-we cannot
be embarrassed longer.
We cannot consent to belong to an Organi-
zatiOn which requires half our time and labor
to defend, or which seems to place us by the
record in an inconsistent position.
"The coming contest will be of vast impor-
lance and deeply interesting to our entire coun:
try We must, as loyal citizens of our common
country, take part in it-boldly, vigilantly, con-
stantly struggle to maintain Freedom-to aid
in asserting practically and efficiently, the oft
repeated assertion of political faith, No more
slave States-no more slave Territory and
we feel we cannot do this if we continue MEM
bers of the American organization. The Phila-
delphia Convention, we are sorry to confess, but
are compelled to believe, will bid as low for of.
fee, for saveholding influence and votes, as
will the Democratic party. The inevitable ten
dency of the organization is to that result-that
position. In this we hope to be mistaken-but
see no good reason why our hope will be chang
