Strong and Just Language.

The Columbus Times and Sentinel is the leading
Democratic journal of Georgia. In its issue of the
18th inst, it thus rebukes the Washington Unon-the
organ of the administration of President Buchanan
we commend the rebuke, as well as the appended
extract from the Richmond South to the attention of
alloyal and Independent Southerners without regard
to party distinctions:
THE EXTREMISTS OF THE SOUTH" Such is the
designation covertly applied to the Democracy OF
Georgia and Mississippi by the ill.informed, and, as
we suspect, the inexperienced editor OF the Wasnng
ton Union for the course they have seen fit to take
on Kansas affairs. Now, the Democracy Of Georgia
are not extremists are not sectionaliss are not dis
turbers of the public peace, but true and loyal ma
tional Democrats, anxious for the success OF tne
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, charged by the Washington umon' tnat
they will oppose the admission of Kansas into the
Union "f slavery is not recognized BY ner Gonsttu
ton as one of her domestic institutions. Inat Is
question for the people of Kansas and the Georgia
Democracy will not tolerate any interference with II
from any quarter and have confidently expressed the
opinion that the President of their choice will see to
it that they will be protected in the fn free and un.
disturbed enjoyment of this great right, and Will
rebuke the impertinent intermeddng of Gov. Walker
with questions over which he has nothing to do.
The Democracy of the South have not made any
issue with the Administration. They claim no ad-
ries. All they require is evenhanded justice in the
administration of the Government. They have de-
nounced clear and palpable departure from the
Democratic platform by an Executive appontee
They know they are right, and confidently appeal to
the National Democracy to sustain their cherished
principles Bluster and epithets ciN not deter them
from pursuing the path Of duty. They stand on The
Cincinnati Piatform-ppa is Oft Of 1t, and all
,cho sustain Walker are off of it. And yet the
Georgia and Mississippi Democracy held up before
upfr nS nyf1a yniStS
mics of the enthusiastically the Washington
Union. What is their offence? Why, this, and moth
ing more, in the language of the Richmond Na.)
South t
ImpelIed by a solictude for the interests of the
South, the Democracy of these States yentured, but
in the most decorous manner, to declare their disap
probation of Walkers conduct in Kansas, and to eX
press the hope that Mr.. Buchanan would remove him
from office. Is this treason to party? There is no
censure of the administration in the resolutions of
the Georgiaand Mississippi Conventions. So far the
contrary, that they explicitly avew their confidence
in Mr.. Buchanan, and manifest TIE most earnest
socitude for the success Of his administration.
Indeed, the Democracy of Georgia and Mississippi
demand the removal of Walker out of regard to the
interests of the administration for they know per.
fectly well that Mr.. Buchanan could not survive an
acknowledged responsibility for the misconduct of
the Governor of Kansas Yet because they thus pre-
against the acts Of subordinate Of the adminstra-
tion they are arraigned before the country upon
accusation of indety to the interests of the party
The independent spirit Of the State Rights Democ-
racy is not to be subdued by any such nsoent dicta
ton from the selfappointed organs Of the Admins
tration and, if Mr.. Buchanan is at all concerned to
retain the good will ofthe South he will rebuke their
superservceahle zeal Is it suspected that the De-
mocracy of Georgia and Mississippi can be driven
from their position, and compelled to base recanta
ton by paragraph in the columns of the Washing.
ton Union? We can hardly imagine that Mr.. Blu.
chanan is Indifferent to their support and, therefore
ings, in so far, at least to dscaim the unjust i'm
putations of his reputed organ.
