The Hon JAMES GARDINER, Attorney General of
Georgia was next introduced. He sad that four
years ago he stood upon platform, surrounded by
acles Of people On that asl0n stood by his side the
great advocate of State rights and aonntervention,
asserting those Democratic doctriDee When the Gin
cinnat Convention met and the fairly expressed Will
of lis majority seemed 10 point toward another staee-
man for the people choice the noble man Of waom be
spoke had fashed message across the wires, with
drawing bis name from the arena. Nov, when four
wears had elapsed, and another Conventions choice
had 81 times been shown to be for Dougae, how
had the President, elected through the formers
fidelity TO his party, returned this InaRns nm-
ity? BY setting on all his myrmidons to work
aoaiust bis arrival. Now, though the clouds looked
dark above the Democratic party he believed that its
enemies Rht well fire pop-ggns against the rock

The pretext had been made that the Cincinnati Plat
form eded amendment, on the ground that the SUI
preme Court had given it a meaning which the people
did not understand. lie denied the fact. The priuc
pie affirmed in that platform was that the people had
right TO conduct their own affairs in their own way
subject to the Constitution of the land; and this same
principle set forth in tue Declaration of
INDEPENDENCE, in the Kansas Nebraska BILL
and in the late decisions OF the Supreme Court
The Black Republicans claimed, the other
hand, that Congress had right to
legsate against Slavery in the Territories. His hear
ers might Judge between the two. He believed that
the intelligent South would sooner go to Adolf
ton Congress, presided over by Pennington than it
woud go British Parliament to request legislation
in lis favor the subject Of Slavery, in Kansas or
elsew here. He then Just beginning to be under
stood was Just reaching the sound common sense OF
the masses. Douglas was in all respects a national
man. The people bad learned to have confidence Ia
bis intellect and patriotism; aud in past time, when
fanatics trying TO defrand the South of its rights,
il looked TO Douglas for protection nor was the call
made N yan The South, then would not be alarraed,
outstanding all that re-eaters might assert, when
il saw the names Of Douglas and johnson enrolled
Cai-calls.

sad that he was on his way home for the purpose of
taking part in contest not to be surpassed. He had
spoken TO $4,000 people at Douglas meeting in Phil
sdelpha ard lost his voice. But il was the pride of

extreme Soub-tbe cotton State of Alabama--and take
