Gg- One of the two papers published
in Georgia which supports " ARNOLD
DOUGLAS" as he is termed by the Breck-
inrdge men, is the SoutAern Confeder-
dcy, published at Atlanta. It's editor is
JAMES PINcKNEY HAMBLEToS, the illus
trous gentleman who came North during
the John Brown excitement, and got up
a black and white list, in the first of
which he put down all such mercantile
firms in the Southern trade as would not
pay him snug subsidy of $50 or 500,
styling them aboltionists, DC. in the
other placing the names of such as
were more liberal 10 the Coyederacy and
its editor. Well, as we were saying,
this pink of chiyalry supports ARNOLD
DOUGLAS. and he supports him because
the editor is for the following principles,
and says that they can only be main
tanned by the election of DOUGLAS and
JOHNSON
LIST. He is for the Union of the States
constitutionoUy administered.
Cd. He is for the South, Independent,
unshackled and untrammeled in all re-
spects.
Sd. He is for the perpetuation of the
Union, provided the neutrality laws, the
compromise measures of 1850, and all
subsequent compromises are repealed.
4th. He is for the repeal of the restric-
ton upon the African Slave Trade.
9Th. If these restrictions and COM
promises cannot be wiped away, and
economy and retrenchment in tue gov
eminent re established, he is emphati-
colly for disuniom
9th. He is for free trade and direct
taxation.
18th. He is opposed to the acquisition
of any more territory until the African
Slave Trade is re-opened, and he is for
the enslavement Of all free negroes found
IN any Southern State, after specified
time given them to emigrate.
This is Douglas democracy in Georgia.
Unless the African Slave Trade is re-
opened, all compromises and restrictions
relative to Slavery repealed, and all free
negroes enslaveG, this Douglas editor is
fora dissolution Of the Union. Is Doug
lasism the same North and South We
heard two or three Douglas men declare
that Mr.. Foss, the Garrsonian, who lee.
tured in the Reform Convention here, on
Saturday night, and favored dissolu-
ton of the Union in order to get clear of
slavery, was deserving of halter, and
should have had it. Why don't they
equally denounce SoULE, and GoULDEN,
and HAMILTON, and their candidate for
Vice President, HERscHEL V. JOHNSON,
who are for dissolution unless the inter-
ests of slavery can be advanced Dem
ocrats have been threatening dissolu-
ton of the Union for years, and HENRY
A. WISE had plotted John Brown raid
upon Washington, but these gentlemen
never thought of denouhcing them
In both Houses of Congress threats and
arguments have been made against the
Union by men high in Democratic favor,
but who ever saw these gentlemen in
dignant over it? A destruction of the
confederacy has been again and again
threatened by Democrats, should the peo-
pie exercise their constitutional right of
electing certain men to the Presidency,
but did any one ever hear one of our
Democrats propose to treat the threaten
ers with halter OF hemp Oh, no
1t is only when it is proposed to dissolve
it in the interests of freedom that their
bile is stirred up, their indignation ex-
cited, and they find words of denuncia-
ton. We go with them in their abhor-
renee Of such doctrines as those of Mr.
Foss, but we think it infinitely more
credtable to urge war upon the Union
in the interests of freedom than those Of
slavery, and We havea supreme contempt
for men who can fellowship with South
ern disunionisls and slavery propaganda
lists, and yet are ready to threaten with
personal violence men who, honest, but
misguided, propose dlsunion Tor the sake
of freedom and humanity.
Well Done, Oregon!
