HIS Excellency, Gov. Jos. Z Brown, of
Georgia, has written letter on the poiti-
cal topics Of the day, in which he favors the
principle of non-intervention, and the Ball
timore Convention. Gov. Brown is the
present executiveof Georgia, recently chosen
to that position by over 10000 majority.
Save Hon. HOWELL COBB, in the Cabinet,
and Senators TooMBs and IvERsoN, no prom
inent man in Georgia, has sustained the ac-
ton of the disunion seceders Of the South,
who threatened to break up the Democratic
party and the Union for principles which,
four years ago, had their favor and support.
ONE of the meanest Of all possible argu-
ments- the one most rendolent OF unadulter>
ated doughfaceism-made use of by BECKER,
FRIDLEY and EDaERroN, in their State
ment," is the Yanceyism that DOUGLAS
should not be nominated because the entire
South, with but few exceptions opposed his
selection at Charleston. ROBERT H. GLASS,
Esq, delegate to the National Convention
from Virginia, and the editor of the Lynch,
burg Republican, thus replies to this argu~
ment:e t'" lN" "'U" tH.
Again, it is said that the South casts 100 cleo.
tOral votes, all of which are certain for the Dem.
ocratic candidate. Therefore, say they, the
North ought to yield their man and their views
to the demands Of the South, because the N Orth
can not give US assurance OF but one or two
States, it any. This argument would do very
well-nay, it would be conclusive, if l20 cleo
toral votes were all that are required to electa
President. But, unfortunately, such is not the
fact. Thirty four Northern votes are required
to effect that object and they are just as neces
sary as the l2OSOuthern votes. No candid mind
will pretend that Mr.. Douglas can Lot carry more
than thirty-fOur Northern votes, while 1t is by
no means certain that any other man can carry
half that number if any at all. The friends of
Judge Douglas. therefore, have just as much
reason to adhere to their man as the South has
to oppose him. The Democracy OF the South
can no more get along without the former. m
We have said this much in def, nse of the
friends of Judge Douglas because we believe
that truth. justice and fair dealing demand it,
and they are priceless jewels, which should not
be sacrificed for either friends or foes. Judge
Douglas doubtless has his faults as other men
have theirs, and none are more ready to cOncede
the fact than we, but We believe HIM to be as
good Democrat and reliable a mau as those
who abuse and Islander him. And we believe
he is the strongest IL an, now in America, EEK
cept General Jackson" and that, it nominated
at baltimore, he will beat Lincoln, Bell. Yancey,
and all the sectional nominate ms which his enc
mics can place in the field between now and
November. .J .-.-. ..N"tt' ''.. $3.50
Is it not refreshing to read such manly
utterances from gallant southern gentle-
man-an honorable opponent of DOUGLAS
in the Convention-after the twaddle of the
BECKER pamphlet? 1852. l-r...
The Plttsburg Penn Post Of May 81,

purpose Of the meeting is to instruct the
Allegheny County delegates to Baltimore

The signers in their call state that he is the
