GEORGIA DEMOCRATIC STATE CON-
EENTION.

The proceedings Of the Georgia Democratic
State Convention came to hand by the last
mail. The following are the resolutions re-
ported by the committee ard unanimously
adopted by the Convention:
Resolved, That We will send delegates TO the
National Democratic Convention to be held in
Charleston-that we pledge ourselves to the
support Of the nominee of that Convention
upon the condition that it determines to man-
tain the equality of the States and the rights
of the souih-that We will yield nothing OF
those rights for tie sake Of harmony, but will
demand firm, strict, and unqualified adherence
to the doctrines and principles Oil the subject
of slavery, and the rights of the South in the
common Territories of the Union which have
been recently declared by the Supreme Court
Of the United States.
Resolved, That as Gcorgians we arc proud
of our fellow citizcn, the Hon. Howell Cobb.
the present able aud efficient Secretary of the
Treasury, and that il is source of pride and
qualification to us to present his name to the
Convention as one worthy and we'll qualified
to fill the high Office of President Of the United
States.
Resolved. With this expression of our opin-
ion, our delegates to the National Democratic
Nominating Convention shall be untrammcllcd
in their acNon, except as to the selection of Il
candidate respecting the principles indicated
in the first resolution.
Resolutions were also adopted expressing
undated confidence in the administration of
President Buchanan. and especially commend
ing his prompt aud patriotic course in refer
ence to the late attack at Harpor's Ferry. as
showing his determination to secure the equal
rights Of every section of the Union.

acts and course have in no small degree con-
tributed to that party, much Of the present
power it has. He has impressed his mark up
on it by rigidly enforcing its rules and prin
ciples. Parties which have good principles
sometimes become extinct because Of the
failure to enforce theM-and even rigid en-
forcement Of them will not always insure sue
cess, because people may tire of them. But it
is a settle, fact, that in National and State
politics, the Democratic party now has the best
code of principles. They are abused it is true
gold is often used for unholy purposes, such
as buying murder or arson-but in the hands
Of honest men it harmonizes society. So with
politics. When honest men desire the peace
and welfare of the country, they inculcato the
best doctrines.
The position of President isa very exalted
one. No one but a man full of wisdom and
virtue should hold it. And it is doubtful
whether any one is fit for it, whose hairs
have not frosted in the winter of experience
No rash hand should clutch the helm of State
Here are thirty millions of people to protect
every want and every taste to be suited--wble
jealousy sits on foreign shores ready to satate
her passion in our downfall Compared to Mr..
Slidcll, many Of his comrades in the race fall
short of the standard. They neither have the
experience nor ability. Some are exception
able because of their peculiar views which are
at war with the leading ideas of the party
hence creating schism in the ranks which may
at times be difficult to heal--such as the Kansas
imbroglio, involving the Interpretation of a
principle of the Democratic party. Such as
have opened the seam for debate, cannot expect
to harmonize the Democratic party in case of
nomination. There are Others, whose opinions
on questions of local politics may destroy their
popularity, others whose Congressional Record
is not altogether stainless-hence they arc
exceptionable.
Mr.. Slidell, however, has so skilfully managed
his tactics, that be has became the impersona-
ton of success.
His nomination will secure every Southern
State and New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois,
Indiana and New Jersey will support him.
There is returning sense of good feeling in
those Northern States, which unfolds every day.
and those who have been most pragmatcal are
beginning to respect Southern rights and to
revive their old love for the Union.

Mississippi Democratic State
Convention.

The proceedings in full Of the Mississippi
Democratic State Convention, with the official
report, have been received. The following are
the resolutions reported by the~eommitte there.
to and unanimously adopted by the CONVEX
ton:
Resolved, That the Democracy Of Mississippi
in Convention assembled, re-indorse the plat
form of principles laid down by the Democrat
ic party in the National Convention of 1856;
and hence declare that the Democratic party is
the party Of the Constitution and recognizes
the equality of the several States and the right
of the people Of all the States to occupy and
enjoy their common territory; that it denies
the power of Federal Government or any au.
thority derivative from it, to discriminate be-
tween property in slaves and other property
existing under the Constitution Of the United
States and the laws of the several States, and
asserts the obligation of the General Govern.
mcnt to provide adequate protection for slave
and all other property in tho territories and
wherever it has rightlul jurisdiction.
Resolved, That in the present chief magis-
trate Of the United States, James Buchanan,
we recognize statesman of exalted worth and
tried integrity, and eminently deserving the
support and confidence of the American pco.
pie.
TO which was subsequently, added the fol-
lowing.
Resolved, That in the event of the refusal Of
the Charleston Convention to endorse the prin-
ciplcs enunciated by this Convention or of its
nominating candidate for the Presidency
who may entertain opinions ut war with these
principles so as to render further proceedings
on the part of the Mississippi Democracy ne
cessary, the Central Committee is hereby an
thorized to take such action as may be de-
mandcd by the exigencies of the occasion.
A Resolution was also adopted declaring the
Hon. Jefferson Davis to be the first choice of
Mississippi for the Presidency. The first vote
stood IS to Is, but by subsequent changes it
was made nearly unanimous. The Convention
was very harmonious, and the thanks of the
same were rendered to the Hon. w. S. Barry,
for the courteous manner in which he had pre-
sided over its counsels.

The Memphis (Tcnn) Avalanche of the 10th

Like street rag-pickers, the enemies of the
Administration are hunting up the odds and

building up party strong enough to break
down the Administration.
But no combination can he formed that will
be able 10 strike down the President. The

strict adherence to the Constitution sup
port Of the rights of every portion of our com

interests and general welfare of the country

are those of wounded pigeons. When in Ten

to pull him and his Administration down, they
had made, MS they thought, all the necessary
arrangements for committing the State to their

Old Liner and John slidell.

Elsewhere we publish an able and impartial
article from the ready pen Of OLD LINER" tc
which we call the especial attention of our read
ers. If the South will consult her true interest
as we'll as that of the entire Union, she will
concentrate her forces upon Slidell and insist
upon his nomination by the CHARLESTON Con-
vEST1oS. OF all men South of Mason 4 Dxons

ing reasons, to wit:
LIST. His fidelity to the South is unqucstioncd.

is beyond the possible range of suspicion.

perience is equal to any emergency though it be
ever so great. We do not know that Mr. Slidell
will even permit his name to he used in this
high connection, but we hesitate not tosay, that
his nomination would arouse an enthusiasmnot
only In The SOUTH but throughout the UNION,
