GEORGIA AND THE SLAVE TRADE.-Referrng to
statements going the rounds of the press, assocatng
the State of Georgia with the agitation Of the slave
trade, the Savannah Republican says;
"There is little or no agitation in Georgia for the
repeal of laws prohibiting the slvave trade. Not n
candidate for Congress, of any party, has alluded to
the subject, and while few meagre public meetings
have been held, not one "assocation' exists in the
State. So far from its being "a leading question
we are credibly informed that some outside efforts
were made by the slave traders to get favorable ex
preston from he late democratic State convention,
but utterly failed, corporate guard not being found
willing to endorse the agitation.
While the opposition in this State are trying to force
upon the democratic party, the issue of agtatng the
slave trade the party true to its principles aud the
platform act in concert with the democracy Of other
Southern States If this State should even be con-
vused on this question, the people will know at whose
door to place the blame The opposition are alone
agitating the question, while the democratic party
let it rest in the constitution, quietly and undsturbed
It looks little unkind in the party to remain cool
and impassive while the opposition are so ergeant
in their se-impossd efforts to fost it upon us but
we must be all owed to pursue the even tenor OF oui
way.

and tall and the materials are all of the very best
kind The workmanship too, is of the very best style
of the old British mechanics. The model of this
church. with its tall elegant and well proportional
steepe is said to be the most tasteful and classical OF
any in this country, not excepting those erected
in the present day. There stand massive columns,
and there those heavy folding doors, on the same
hinges, the sound of which fell upon the ear of Lord
Rawdon and his red-coated miDions, when during the
intervals between their mercess butcheres of Amer
