Assembly was to reerate the platform of principles,
which has successfully sustained its organization in the
past to set forth TO the world its position upon the
present political questions of the day, and calmly delib
erately and wisely to mark out the line upon which its
future policy and action should be based.
The talent intelligence and worth which composed
the recent meeting held in Mlledgeyie the unanmity
Of sentiment with which the platform and resolutions
were received and adopted, the prudent LIBERAL but firm
tone of the resolutions themselves, such to
mand the warmest sympathy and admiration OF all who
have enlisted under the Democratic banncrfor the pur
pose of securing to M sections equal rights and partci
patton in the blessings and privileges bestowed by
wisely conducted government, and thus TO and
perpetuatc the government itself and the Union Of the
States
Fresh from the field of hardly contested fight whilst
vet the first flush Of victory warm upon them, it
was hardly to be expected that the elements of moder
ton aud conservatism should have occupied prom
ncnt position in their deliberations but this fact it
sell affords the strongest evidence that language can
convey of the firm and settled determination of the De
moccv of Georgia while melting out justice to Others
to demand and to receive nothing more or less than jus
lice to themselves and their section.
The resolutions passed by the meeting have already
been laid before readers with hearty endorse
nlr in every particular and we desire merely to
refer to the most important Illustrating the true posi-
ton OF the Democratic party Of Georgia towards the
present Administration.
1t will be remembered, that the Democratic party of
the State. iii Convention assembled in June last, with
of Kansas before them, passed resolutions declaring
their undated confidence in the integrity OF Mr.. Bu
chanar but deunciatOry of the conduct OF Gov Walk
cr in violating the doctrine of nonntervcnon, and de-
handing of the President his recall, The Know 9th
ing party OF the State passed resolutions denouncing
Coy. Walker denouncng Mr.. Buchanan for his COM
pIicy with him, and denOuncing the Democracy for
Withholding from the President the which
was applied to his appOintee and Official. Upon this
ISSUE and this alone was the contest fought in Georgia,

tiers of the State have ratified the action of the Demo-
cratic Convention sustained the condemnation OF ak
er and carried the President unscathed through the
conflict in the confident hope that he would sec that no
harm or injustice was done to the South through VIC
ation of that principle upon which he elevated to
his present position. Nearly six months have elapsed
and Gov Walker still retains his authority In his VAIN
efforts to recover the position lost by his first unWsc
STEP he has involved himself in serious difficulties,
and made more plain and papabe his attempts to inter

When the demand made for his recall by the
Georgia Convention, the over-zeaOus friends OF the
President whilst admitting that it to some extent
ustiabe vet contended that it could not be complied
with for the reason that it came from but State,
and came accompanied by threat, that Mr.. Buchanan
owed it to the whole country to his high position,
and to his own sefrespect not to yield to demand OF
that character These reasons exist no longer tor the
Democratic party of the South have sustained the po
sitiOn Of Georgia and have united in condemnng Wal
ker's course in Kansas. Mississippi Tennessee, Ala
bama Florida, and the Democracy of other Southern
States stand ready to insist upon the recall of who
has violated principal dear to them, and upon the
practical application of which they alone rely for
justice at present. and peace and security for the future
But Georgia has gone step beyond and set noble
example Of the prudence and moderation which have
ever marked the deliberations of her councils The

of their stcIfast attachment to the President whom

line of policy whose commencement they Gnsparngly
condemned have again assembled in Convention in the
very pentude of their power with all the honors and
trophies of victory around them and in the hour of their
proudest exutaon refused still to turn their weapons
upon the President but approved his Administration
| Observation-Disclosures the threat which accompanied
their demand in June last, and after review Of the
official conduct Of Gov Walker calmly declared that his
papabc and dangerous violations OF the doctrine of nom

Mr.. Buchanan has reason to complain of the ftal-
ty of Georgia. for she has placed upon the record the
most ndisputabe evidences of her zeal and aithfunes
Neither he his peculiar friends say that the
action Of the Democracy of the State is harsh and
generous towards him, for the records Of political par
ties will be searched in vain to find instance OF strong
CT and more uwaverng attachment by a party to a
man, than that afforded by the democracy of Georgia
/ towards Mr. Buchanan.
/ When the storm of anatcism swept over that see
ton Of the country from which he hailed, and even
his State had almost succombed under the violence
of the tempest Georgia stood firm, and with her sister
States of the South secured his election and snatced
as it were. the Union from the very vortex of destruc-
! ton.
When again he has been assaed and threatened in
the South Georgia has reiterated her confidence in him.
by crushing with defeat his enemies within her borders.
Georgia and the South have the right then to expect
and demand now in turn that their rights and honor
should be protected and vndced and that he who has
Il violated both whilst holding authority government
official should be at once removed and Invested of the
i power f it pOssihe( to work further harm to the
| South.
We are still among those who think the President
true to and to all the prnc pies of political faith
and shall confidently expect the removal Of Gov.
i Walker. If, however his nomination is sent to the
United States Senate for confirmation, hope that
every Southern Senator will be present in his place to
give by his vote indignant rebuke to what should
consider the browning effort to sacrifice the rights and
interests of the South to build up party whose princ
pies would not be worth the paper upon which they
were writtcn.--@ronnoh DoHy Georgian.
