The Georgian Democracy on Gov. Walker.


Georgia, which may be regarded as the
distillery in which the present current ar
ticle of "Rectifed'' Democracy was manu-
featured. has come out through her State
Convention, in a resolution. severely CEN
suring the course of Gov. WALKEE, laid
down in his Inaugural Address. 1t shows
the true purpose aud intent of the origi-
nators of the doctrine of Popular Sover-
eignty; and that those who sustained the
Kansas Bill in the North, are making
their present display of friendship to the
Free State party, through fear of COM
plete defeat throughout the Free States,
did they attempt farther to enforce their
original designs.
The Resolution reads:
Reolted, That the address of Gov.
Walker, IN prescribingth terms on which
Congress should admit Kansas into thc
Onion, and in attemptingEto dictate the
submission of their Constitution for ratiE-
cation, and TO what class of persons con.
stitutes a pressimptuous Interference il
matters over which he has no legitimate
control, and the same address In express
ing his official opinion that Kansas vii
become Free State, and in presenting
arguments to support that side of tn
| question is a gross departure from tn
/ principles of fnon-interventiOn, and of neIl
| frality, and the Convention has full cen
t fidence tha. Mr. Buchanan will manifes

and markedly untrue. But We urge the National
Kansas Committee, in view Of these charges and
destinations to reassemble and makea full and clear
statement of their action in the premises. 1t ia
nore Of our business; but they cannot fail to see
that the enemies of Free Kansas are circulating
these charges for political effect.
"The Slievegammon fund has never been sat'''
jaetorily accounted for" says The Express. We
judge that to be very likely since no account at all
of it was rendered TO the public, and we presume
none ever will be. All that was ever said By any
one in reply to the charges Of The Express was
simply to point to the name of the gentleman whom
the friends of Iriih independence had constituted
Treasurer of that Fund, and to whose keeping all
contributions had been confded. And as to the
Kansas Fund, with the audit Of which it seems
The Express is no better satisfied we can only say
that, for so much of it was contributed through
the Office of The TRIBUNE, we will be thankful if
the givers, or any respectable number of them,
will appoint Committee to examine our books
and report whether every dollar ever confded to
us has or has not been paid over as We have already
stated.

The Metropolitan Police Commissioners are GER
tainly entitled to the credit of proceeding openly
aud above beard. They court rather than shun
publicity Not only do they announce the names
Of the individuals they appoint to office, but in
some cases they have even caused them TO be an-
nounced beforehand, so that if anybody had Objec-
tons they could be made known. This is the exact
opposite of the course of Mr.. Fernando Wood.
That percentage has always sought to keep the ar
rsneements of the police and especially the appoint
ments to its ranks in perfect obscurity. His con
duet in this respect has been that of man who
fears to let the light in upon bis acts. If his police
had been band of brgands, instituted for the I'M
mediate purpose of robbing the public he could
NOT have involved the names Of its new members in
greater secrecy. We are glad that the new Board
has adopted more republican and popular system.
II is proof that in their hands we may hope for
police whose only purpose shall be the good of the
community, and not any partisan or personal ad-
vantage.

Our latest English papers contain an interesting
sccoupt of an interview between Lord Palmerston
and a deputation which waited upon MIN Ia
relation to the suppression of the Cuban Stare
trsde-at this time the only remaining ordnc1
Of that traffic so far As the Importation OF
slaves from Africa is concerned. This dePuts
tiop strongly recommended the more complete
blockade Of the Cuban coast, rather OF the ap
proaches to it from the east, and the employment
Of screw gunboats for that purpose; and these sug
eestions were listened TO with great attention b
Lord Pslmerston, who gave strong Indications Of
being fayorably impressed by them. Another sug.
cestion which seemed also TO receive his lordship's
favorable consideration, was the removal of the
Mixed Commission Court from Cuba to Jamaica.
Lord Palmerston has always been jealous sup
porter OF the policy of slave trade suppression and
now that the object is so nearly accomplished 1t
is not to be supposed that any effort will be want
ing on his part to bring this enterprise to success
full completion. The deputatiOn, however, did not
conlnc themselves to the mere policy of suppress
sion. Considering that foil supply of free labor
IA the most certain and eteetual measure for pat
ting an end to the slavetrade, they suggested the
expediency Of measures for procuring from Africa
a regular and steady supply Of free labor-the bene
dts of il to be opened TO al tropical cuitiVators
alike.

that institution, since they are part and parce
Of the system, and are unknown where it does not
exist Certsn ofienses are common to all civilized
countries, which great wealth and increased PoPu'
lstion in the present state Of the race inevitably
tend to multiply. These the law seeks, with more
or e,s success, to prevent and punish. But wher-
ever Slavery has relaxed the bonds Of selirestrant
and intensified the more violent passions, We
have street fights, murders, duels, lynchings and
sssassinations, with q constant recurrence Of
nameless and unutterable cruelties il. ted BY
irresponsible power upon the weak and defenseless
1t is also striking pecuarty Of these that toe law
does not reach them, and seldom makes an attempt
to reach them. To this must be added guilty,
unrestrainpd and indiscriminate G. nmerce Oh the
sexes, which no law preteDds to condemn, much
less to punish with its inevitable Accomplishments
of broken marriages. sundered families, and bas-
tardized progeny. When, in the Southern news
papers, We meet with the record Of such atrocities
and of such violations Of the laws Of God and man,
we consider them, for the reasons which we have
indicated, as fit subject Of comment. We believe
them to be sui generis, and treat them accordingly.
But we should no more think of cOndemning all
Southern clergmen because single one had COM
mitted crime, than we should think Of censuring
all the inhabitants of New York for the wickedness
of Fernando Wood. We shall indulge in no such
general rebuke, except when, as in the case of
Slavery, the offense is general. Then we shall speak
plainly and hold alaccountabe for the consequences
who are accountable for the cause. But in doing
o NO trust that we shaH NOT ha cnltv Of the ron.
summate folly of attributing to Slavery that with
which it has nothing to de-, and shall avoid the pre-
posterousness of those who deduce all the vainies
ard psupersm Of the North from its free insti.
utOns.

The application to strike Mr.. Charles TOwnshend
and Mr. Benjamin Galbraith from the roll OF atsor-
neys and councillors Of the Supreme Court was
duly made by the District.AttOrney last Wednesday
in the form which has been usually, if not always,
pursued in such cases heretofore. A number Of
afidavs to the facts connected with the rescue Of
Auguste Parrot frsm the hands Of the Deputy
Sheriff were privately handed to the Court TO-
gether with an order to show cause, which the
judges were expected to sign if sufficient prima
faeie grounds therefor appeared to them to exist.
But yesterday Mr.. Justice Mitchell remarked that
the Court had decided not to issue any order in a
case of this description before hearing both Sides
and would therefore give the defendants till Sep
TENDER to put in ahdavits in response to those In.
PRODUCED by the applicant.
Such abundant caution is not characteristic OF
our Supreme Court. The ease with which most of
its Judges are prevailed upon to sign papers is
matter of common remark at the bar. For In
functions affecting important interests of property
or of the public veal it has, as every one will re-
member, required nothing more than Ell parte atti-
davits But in matter touching very nearly the
good name of the legal profession, and where the
facts are sworn to by several reputable witnesses
and are well known to the public, before whom
they stand uncontroverted, the Supreme Court hes
itates to require Messrs. Galbrath and TOwnshend
even to show cause why they should not be stricken
from the rolls, hesitates to put the question at
issue, and gives the accused parties till September
to make up case.
The application might almost as well have been
refused point blank. Ten to one it will never be
heard of again. BY the Fall the facts will be half
forgotten by witnesses who have no special interest
in remembering them, the whole thing will have
become STALE and every body will be disposed to take
a lenient view of the matter. The sooner public
justice, when nsulted and outraged, is vindicated,
the better; stigma which disgraces class of the
community should be shifted upon the shoulders Of
those who deserve it without delay. If Messrs.
Towushend and Galbraith are guilty, it is for the
interest of the public that they be punished
if nnocent, it should be their own desire to have all
the facts made known that they may be pronounced
SO. We cannot oooceiveupon what rational ground
on unnecessary tenderness for the feelings of
couple of lawyers should be allowed to counterval
the interests of the community and the demands of
public justice. But many Of the principles upon
which our laws are at present administered are
eDipmas.

ject. wo suggested that the great difficulty in tho
way of this immigration project was the habit
which the Cuban planters had formed of working
would very apt to try also upon ndentnred African
immigrants. The Times, in some comments upon
the interview above spoken Of, which We give else
where, takes in substance the same view of tho
case since il frankly admits that the complete abo
lition of Slavery must precede the introduction Of
the African immigration s. stem, otherwise there
would be no security that the nOminaly free imm-
grants would not be treated like slaves and in fact
be absorbed into and COMPOUNDED with the slave
population. The difficulties Of such an emsncipa-
ton, so far as Cuba is concerned are admitted by
The Times TO be considerable-not, however, by
any means nsurmountable. The prospect held out
to the planter Of being able to supply himself regu
larry with hired labor, and thus Of introducing him
self into the circle of modern civilized industry
especially as this supply of free labor would involve
much smaller outlay of capital than the purchase
of slaves-would, The Times thinks, be apt to be
regarded by the planters as more than an Offset to
any sacrifice they might make in the abandonment
Of system which, whatever its advantages or
profits may be- yet serves to isolate them and to cut
them off from the sympathy of the civilized world.
But here arises a difficulty which The Times does
not appear to have anticipated Cuba is not the
only Slave country which might desire to recruit
its supply of aborsrs by importations from Africa,
and where in order to give any security to the immi-
grants Slavery would frst have - be abolished The
high price Of slaves in the UHited States has drawn
the eyes Of many Southerners to the coast Of Africa
and no longer ago than yesterday we published a
scheme of The Charleston Mercury for evading the
laws against the slave trade by importing slaves from
Africa in the character of voluntary immigrants.
The, we had almost said diabolical, GOODNESS with
which The Mercury speaks of the ease with which
these Africans, once introduced into the country,
might be reduced to Slavery, affords strong con-
frmaton how right The Times is in asserting that,
before this system of free labor immigration be
consented to Slavery must be absolutely abolished
in the countries into which the immigrants are to be
Probably The Charleston Mercury
would hardly consent to the African immigration
scheme with such condition attached to it. Yet
Southern planters have, if possible, still stronger
reasons than those Of Cuba for wishing to free
from system of labor by which they
are every day more and more cut off from ciyiliza-
ton and exposed to constantly increasing hazards
Of the most serious sort.
