The American party of Georgia met in
large numbers in Macon, on the Sth inst,
endorsed Fillmore aud Donelson-and
formed State Electoral Ticket, accompa-
med by Declaration Of Sentiments en-
bracing the following:
5. The territory Of the United States we
regard as the common property If all the
States as CO equal sovereiguries, aud as
snch open 10 settlement by the citizens of
the States with their property as matter If
right; aud that no power resides either in
Congress or the territorial Legislature, or
the people of the territories while
territory. TO exclude from settlement III
any territory any portion Of the citizens of
this Republic with their property legally
held in the States from which they emf
crate We repudiae therefore the doe
triue commonly called Squa,ter Sovereign
ty in the territories.
The mea"iny Of the above sentiments
can not be doubted. They are few of thou
sand proof, that Mr. Fillmore is claimed
at the South as the best friend of Slavery
sNrTbe same number contains ample
proof that ''Slavery does separate families
constantly. To say nothing of the '.likely"
boys, men, mechanics, field hands, which
are daily bought and sold like horses aud
mules, we find that at two Sheriff Sales
only, the following household servants
no doubt born in aud cherished by their
respective families-are by the impover.
ishing system of Slavery compelled to be
torn from all their kindred, and knocked
off at auction along with land, horses, wa
eons, aud other "chattels -

How many tender ties are sundered in
