m ma been repealed by the KansasN ebraska act,
AMI, had also been declared unconstitutional by the
Supreme Court of the United States in the bred Scott
case. The people had sanctioned the principles of
nonintervention contained in the Kansas Nebraska
act They the true principles. and upon them
Mr. Buchanan had been eieuated to the Presidency !:
and that be believed that the President would still
adhere to them and carry them out Justice, TO say
nothing Of gratitude to the South, required hs at ms
hands He regretted to see that Gov. Walker, OF
Kansas by his late inaugural address and his Topeka
speech, had disregdrded those principles ana nag
attempted by The exercise of his official influence to
turn the scale against the South. The Governor IN
his opinion should not have uttered word IN Kansas
for or against slavery; nor should he have done any
thing to influence votes one way or te oeer; , p9e
should have left the people the Kansas bill left
them, perfectly free to form and regulate their domes-
tic institutions in their own way.
II Mr. 3. did not believe that the President, by his
instructions, had authorized Gov. walker 10 aaopt
any such course, or that lie appreciated or acould
sanction the doctrines Of Coo. 1afSerS inaugural
address, as erpoundea in his Topeka speech. MIR.
Buchanan had been elected on the platform of nom
intervention and he believed the country had suti-
Gent guarantees in his past course that he had the
wisdom to know and the nerve to do his duty
As the MONDAY sun that now shines upon us is not
clearer than that President Buchanan has unquali-
fedysanctioned the infamous course pursued by Gov.
Walker, Judge Brown, should be elected Governor,
will have other alternative than to array himself
against a false and ungrateful Administration in
manly and determined Southern opposition.
/ The Columbus Times and Sentinel is the leading
Democratic journal in Georgia In its issue of the
18th inst it thus rebukes the Washington Union-the
organ of the Administration Of President Buchanan
We commend the rebuke to the attention of all loyal
and independent Southerners without regard to party
distinctions:
| q" THE EXTREMISTS OF THE SoUTH.''-Such is the
designation covertly applied to the Democracy OF
Georgia and Mississippi, by the informed, and, as
we suspect the inexperienced editor Of the Washing
ton Union for the course they have seen fit to take
/ on Kansas affairs Now, the Democracy of Georgia
are not extremists are not sectonasts are not dis
turbers of the public peace, but true and loyal ma
tional Democrats, anxious for the success of the
administration and devoted to the principle of non
intervention by the Federal Government, in all its
branches with slavery in the territories. 1t is false
therefore, as charged by the Washington Union that
they will oppose the admission of Kansas into the
Union if slavery is not recognized by her consttu
ton as of her domestic institutions That is
question for the people of Kansas, and the Georgia
Democracy will not tolerate any interference with il
from any quarter and have confidently expressed the
opinion that the President of their choice will see te
it that they will be protected in the full free and un
disturbed enjoyment of this great right, and viii
rebuke the impertnent intermeddling Of Gov. Walker
with questions over which he has nothing to do.
Hon. David J. Bailey is the Democratic candidate
for Congress in the Third Congressional District o
prise him of his nomination, dated jackson, Butts
county, Ca, July 6, 1857 after accepting the nomi
nation he said:
1t is more agreeable to be the candidate of part,
that enunciates the principles upon which it proposes
to direct and control the government and is at oil
times ready to enforce the Democratic lesson, that
ho,cerer high the officials may be, they be
yond the reach of popular rebuke; and cheerfully
endorse the resolutions of the Convention in letter ane
spirit regulating the political orthodoxy of Gorey
nor tpaiker. His silly oficiousness in attempting
| while mere government agent, to impress any pc
culiar views he may entertain to the future o
Kansas upon the constitution of that contemplated
State, subjects him to the of all discreet ant
prudent men.
Further along, speaking of Gov Walker, Mr.. Bailey
says:
He went to Kansas with reputation acquired
years agowhle representing Southern constituency
and when his appointment to the office he now holds
was made known, the country felt aud acknowledged
that Kansas had a Governor whose sympathies WERE
with, and obligations man, were first to thu
South but no,c he exhibits himself puny dicta
tor, and ,ciiiSt This false step eteynolu daDans hi
fame Trust it ,rM at the same time 1e1dc, him un
,corthy Of Democratic sympathy, association and sup
port
But, as this 'puny dictator" IS sustained, appro
bated and endorsed by the President and members o
his Cabinet, are they not, too unworthy of Demo
cratic sympathy, association and support"
At the Democratic Convention of the Seemed Con
gressional District of Georgia, at which the Hon
Martin J. Crawford was nominated, held in the towr
of Albany on the 18th inst, the subjoned resolution
was unanimously adopted:
Resolrea, That the inaugural address of Governor
Walker, in prescribing the terms on which Congress
should admit Kansas into the Union. and iii attemnt
ing to dictate the submission Of their Constitution fol
ratification, and to what class of persons constitutes
presumpuous 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 tc
support that side of the question: is gross depart
ure from the principles of noninterventon and neu
traty which were established by the Kansas bill ant
this Convention has full confidence that Mr. Buchanan
will manifest his fidelity to the principles ,chic!
carried him into office, byrecalng Governor Halker
The Columbus (Ga) Times and Sentinel-a rigit
Democratic journal-of the 18th ult., thus speaks O
the acceptance of a Democratic candidate for Con
gress in that State:
ACCEPTANCE OF AUGUSTUS R. WRIGHT-Judgt
Wright has accepted the Democratic nomination fc
Congress in the Fifth District. We are gratiied t.
see that he adopts the platform of principles lait
down by the Convention, in which is included tn,
famous third resolution of the Miledgeville Conven
tion The Judge, we are sorry to see, still grieve
over the defeat of bis vote candidate for Governor
but is consoed for his disappointment by the nomna
ton OF Joseph E. Brown, whom he represents al
faithful, gallant and skful,' and anticipates {
triumphant result under the lead of a man who ha
never been defeated. As popular orator, judge
Wright has no superior in the State.
lit will be recolleeted that the Miledgeville Demo
cratic Convention denounced Walker unquaiiedly
and demanded his recall at the hands of presiden
Buchanan.l
The Savannah Georgian-a Democratic paper-o
18th ult., speaking of the Washington Unions de
fences and apologies of Walker says:
As the Democracy of Georgia were the first to con
denim the sentiments and language of the Inaugural
address and Topeka speech of Gov. Walker we ma
! be safely classed among those who are termed b
the Washington Union, his assailants and such bein
the case, we feel bound to protest against the cor
hnued Misrepresentation made by that paper in re
gard to our position.
We admit the right of the Legislature of the Teri
tory OF Kansas to submit the constitution that sha
be framed to the people of Kansas, and also the RICH
to prescribe the qualification of the voters for who's
ratification that constitution may be submitted Blu
we do not admit the right of Gov. Walker to say t.
the people of Kansas, that that constitution shall b
submitted or who shall vote upon it. We do not at
nit his right, to say that il the constitution is nc
submitted Congress should reject the application
: Kansas Tor admission as State and that Mr.. Bucl
anan and himself, would use their official weight an
influence IN an endeayor to bring about such result
e Whist there may be n difference of opinion as t
the eXpediency of submitting the constitution to til
tcaton of the people of the territory and as to VIII
shall or shall not he entitled to vote for or against it
ftlcation, all agree that the Legislature OF the Tel
l. tory-tne proper representatives of the people ha
r anu should have the control of both questions an
we are and always have been willing to abide by it
decision.
