After the secession of the Georgia delegates
at Charleston, a new State Convention was
held in that State. at which the action of the
soceders was endorsed by vote of yeas 297
nays Al. Herschel v johnson, the present
candidate OF the Douglas men, was member
OF that Convention, and with his party follow
ers ne seeded and formed new Convention
and proceeded to appsint delegates to the Balt-
more Contention, because the Convention refu-
sed to eudoise and adopt the following report
which that gentleman introduced, as follows:
MINORITY REPORT.
Resolved, That we reaffirm the Cinrinnot;
tlatform' with the following additional PROPOSE
tions: =
1st That the citizens of the Upited States
have an equal right to settle with their yyoueytv
of any Kind, in the organized Territories Of the
United States, and thatInder the decision of
the Supreme Court Of the United States in the
case OF bred Scott, which we recognize as the
correct exposition OF the Constitution in this
Pertcuiar' Stare property stands upon the same
footing NTH any other description Of rroperty
'ohateUer and that neither the General Gopeyzs.
n,e11t, NOR ANY TERRITORIAL GOVERN.
EN1, can destroy or impair the right to slqve
property in the common Territories. any more
tnan the right to any other description Of prop-
erty, that property of all kinds, slaves as we'll
as any other species of property, in the Terri
tories, stands upon the same equal and broad
Constitutional basis, and subject to like princ-
pies OF recognition and r5otection in the LEGIS-
isATtFE, Judicial and executive departments of
the Government -
I'd. That we will support any man who may
be nominated by the Baltimore Convention, for
the Presidency, who holds the principles set
tortn IN the foregoing proposition, and who will
give tnem ms endorsement, and that we will
not hold ourselves teund to support any man,
VINO may he the nominee, who entertain prin
ciples inconsistent with those set forth in the
above propositions or WRo denies that slave prop
er7y in the Territories does not stand on an
equal .footjng and on the same Constitutional ba4
SIS Of other descriptions of property.
In view of the fact that a large majority Of
the delegates from Georgia felt it to be their
duty to withdraw from the late Democratic
Convention at Charleston. thereby depriving
this State OF her vote therein, according to the
decision OF said Convention, :ts
ReSo2vea, That this Convention will appoint
twenty delegates--four from the State at large,
and two from each Congressional District--to
represent the Democratic party of Georgia in
rhe adjourned Convention at Baltimore, on the
18th inst, and that said delegates be and are
her by instructed TO present the foregoing prop
osStions, and ash their adoption By the National
Democratic Convention. ...t
HERSCHEL V. JOHNSON.

Fl. K. Mccoy,
A. CoLvARD.
These resolves are curious things, coming
from squstter sovereign. They declare that
by the Dred Scott decision, (Which is the cor
rect exposition ofthe Constitution" ""slaue prop
e'ty stands nron The same footing as all other de-
sc'Tptjons Of property, and that neither the Gcser
al Government nor any Territorial Gopanmeat,
CAN DESTROY OR IMPAIR THE RIGHT TO SLAVE
PROPERTY IN THE common Territories, ana more
then the right to any other description Of property
and "that property Of all kinds, s2aves as we'll
as any other species Of property in the Terri
tories stand on the same equal and broad con-
stitutional basis. and subject to like principles
OF recognition, in the Legislative, judicial and
Executive Departments OF the Government"
and Mr.. johnson and his associates, in terms
most emphatic, declare that 1--WE will NOT
HOLD OURSELVES BOUND TO SUPPORT
ANY MAN WHO MAY BE THE NOMINEE
'oho enterta'ns principles Inconsistent 10Th those
set forth IN the above proposition, or who DENIES
that slave property in tho Territories, does
stand on an equal footing and on the same con-
stitutional basis Of other descriptions Of prop
crty."
These resolutions go to the extreme length
Of the Drod Scott Decision, and are in every
proposition laid down as fundamental prnci-
pie, opposed to the Squattsr Sovereignty dog
ma of Mr.. Douglas and under them, the Vice
President on the Douglas Ticket cannot sup.
port Mr.. Douglas. nor ifhe lives up to his prin-
ciples can Mr.. Douglas support him for Vice
President
The resolutions in language not to oc mista-
ken. look to Legis'atiw interference to protect
the Southern master in carrying his slaves in
to the Territories and holding them there, and
Legislative interference is the very thing de-,
nourced BY the Douglas press as Congressions,
S1aVe Code, and this Mr.. johnson avors, and
thus he is bound in honor not to support any
man who entertains opinions inconsistent with
that doctrine,
Here then we have the Douglas Ticket divi-
ded upon principle. Douglas. as the candidate
for President. denouncing all who viii not 90
with him for squatter sovereignty Johnson, as
Vice President, pledged to oppose any man who
goes the doctrine and who is unwilling to 20
for direct Congressional Intervention in favor of
protecting slavery in the Territories.
Really the Ticket composed Of Douglas and
johnson, is worse than tho Ticket composed Of
Douglas and Fitzpatrick. Wide as the differ
enco between tbs first nominee for Vice Pres
ilent and Mr.. Douglas, it did not begin to 20
to half the extent Of the difference between
two candidates on the Ticket as it now stands.
The PIainaealer said its candidate for Vice
President had no record to stultify the Ticket
or to plague its friends. Ee has a record and
we will hold him to it, National Democrat.
