SPEECH OF THE DEMOCRATIC CANDI-
DATE FOR GOVERNOR OF GEORGIA.

Judge Joseph g. Brown is the Democratic candi-
date for Governor Of Georgia-the empire State OF
the South. He IS d true State Rights Southerner,
and belongs to class we delight to honor, no matter
how widely we may differ from them politically. Al
though Democrat Of the strictest sect and cearest
water he regards the welfare of his section as para
mount to all other considerations. Would that the
Democrats Of Louisiana were all like him.
The Georgia Democratic State Convention, held at
Mlledgeyille on the 26th Of June last, from which
body Judge Brown received his nomination, adopted
the suboned resolution in reference to the outrage
GUS course Of Gov. Walker in Kansas:
Residual That the inaugural address Of Governor
Walker, in prescribing the terms on which Congress
should admit Kansas into the Union, and III attempt
ing to dictate the submission OF their constitution for
ratification and to what class of persons, constitutes
presumptuous Interference in matters over which he
has no legitimate control and that the same address,
in expressing his Official opinion that Kansas would
become free State, and in presenting arguments to
support that side Of the question: gross departure
from the principles OF noninteryention and neutraty
which were established by the Kansas bill and this
conoe,,tion has full confidence that Mr., Buchanan
,cii manifest hs fidelity to the principles ,ohc car
,ied him into office by recalling Coo. Wdike1 s'.t
In letter to the committee appointed by the State
Convention to notify him officially Of his nomination
for the Office Of Governor Judge Brown in letter
dated .'Canton, Ga, July 8, 1857" says
4 have examined carefully the platform Of prin-
ciples laid down by the convention, copy Of which
YOU did ne the honor to enclose and have no hesi-
tation in sayng that the principles adopted BY the
convention command the appreciation OF my 5ads-
| ment and iciH recetve my cordial support.
Onthe It'll of July there was large assemblage OF
tie Democracy of Cherokee county, Ca, in the town
| of Canton. The object of the assemblage was to
ratify the nominations and Platform of Principles of
oil IF
During the progress of the meeting, Judge Brown,
tie nominee for Governor, in pursuance Of general
call. delivered an address. From the report of the
| Atlanta Examiner we quote those portions OF the
| address that possess general interest ,5
sprEcH orJosErH E. BRowN.-Mr. B. rendered to
his elIow-ctizens his thanks for the kind and enthu
sastic demonstrations manifested on account OF the
honor conferred upon him by the Democratic conven-
ton he had the more reason to be proud OF the
honor because it was rendered without solicitation
on his part
He vent at some length into the history Of the
Missouri compromise, and OF the course taken by the
Northern States in refusing to extend the line TO the
Pacific ocean and to carry out the compromise in
good faith He said the restriction contained in that
act had been repealed by the KansasN ebraska act,
and had also been declared ~ the
Supreme Court Of the United States in the bred Scott
i case The people had sanctioned the principles OF
non.ipteryention contained ID the Kansas-N ebraska
| act Theg tcere the true principles and upon them
MI Bucfanan had been elevated to the Presidency ;
| and that he believed that the President would still
adhere to then, and carry them out. Justice, to say
nothing of gratitude to The South required this at his
hands He regretted to see that Gov. Walker, Of
Kansas by his late inaugural address and his Topeka
4 speech had disregarded those principles, and had
attempted By the exercise Of ms Official influence 10
his opinion should not have uttered word in Kansas
for or against slavery; should he have done any
i thing to influence votes one way or the other but
4 should have left the people as. the Kansas bill LETT
them perfectly free to form and regulate their domes
tic institutions in their own way.
/ He said that Gov. Walker, to sustain himself had
invoked the instructions Of the President, but that
1 if his version of those instructions was correct
they did not sustain his course. Walker says in his
inaugural address, g Ny instructions from the Presi
dent, through the Secretary of State under date o.
Both March last sustain the regular Legislature OF the
4 Territory in assembling convention TO form a con
stitution and they express the opinion OF the Pres
4 dent that when such constitution shall be submit
ted to the people of the territory, they must be pro
tected in the exercise of their right Of voting for o.
against the instrument and the fair expression OF thu
popular will must not be interrupted by fraud O
4 violence What does the President mean by TIT
phrase when the constitution shall be submitted II
the people Of the Territory" He doubtless mean
the qualified voters Of the Territory Those who ar
now the people Of the Territory, not those who ma.
be actual residents next fall as Coy Walker ez
presses it in his Topeka speech If the constitution
should be submitted by the convention for ratification
or rejection to vote OF those who are the legal
registered voters, to those who shall be bon
fde citizens of Kansas previous to the time Of tn
meeting of the convention, and we should have ial
expression of the popular will, the whole countr
would acquiesce in the decision, if the election wa
\ fairly conducted without fraud or violence. Th
mode and time of this ratification or rejection
together with the qualification of the voters, Shout
be prescribed by the convention itself, without an
dictation or interference on the part Of Gov Wake
3 Or any one else.
| m. tbn, tafiv IF
and not the Governor should prescribe what shoul
be submitted to the vote of the people of the Teri
tory. Adopt the course dictated ny Gov. Walker, an
submit the constitution when framed to vote OF
! who may be inhabitants of Kansas next fall or
the time Of the vote on the instrument, and we a,
at sea again. Should the constitution tolerate SLAYER
SO soon as this should be known, the emigrant al
societies would pour into the Territory their hundred
and thousands of Abolition voters to vote down I'll
a constitution. The South would send men there
sustain it, Sectional feeling in all its bitterness won
be aroused to the highest point. Riot, violence ar
:. boodshed, would be more common than in the dar
Territory would in all probability follow, which mg
o spread to the remOtest limits OF the country. II
first gun fred might serve as the match to the mag
Z zine, resulting in an explosion which would bur
asnnder the foundations OF the Union, and scatter
ID the winds this noble structure erected with so mu
10 toll by revolutionary patriots. These results in
i opinion ,rould rery probably toLo,c the udopti
Of the policy attempted TO be dictated By Coz. Fak
AZ TO The Kansas Convention. -.gHl' y. sa..
n Mr.. B. did not believe that the President, by
re instructions, had authorized Gov. Walker to ado
any such course, or that he appreciated or lcoa
sanction the doctrines of Gon. " atkers nauguraio
i, dress, as erp0unded in has Topeka speech Mr.
cbanan had been elected the platform OF nonlnt
s yention, and he believed the country had suffice
guarantees in his past that he had the wisd
nd to know and the nerve to do his duty.
"a As the MONDAY sun that now shines upon us is |
clearer than that President Buchanan has unqu;
'o- fedly sanctioned the infamous course pursued
he Governor Walker, Judge Brown should be elect
up Governor will have other alternative than to
ed himself against false and nngratefu administrat
les in manly and determined Southern opposition.
