The Union and American, of yesterday,
saws: "Mr DAVIS does not ask for protection
to slave property nor. ANY such demand is
unequivocally disclaimed. Present protec-
ton is waived by Mr.. DAVIS Well, If not
nov, when will Mr.. DAVIS insist on the de-
naand. For what have Mr.. DAVIS and his
fire.eating confederates been eontending for
the past twelve months, if it has not been tor
Congressional protection to slave property
in the territories Why does Mr. DAVIS and
his companions and followers waive present
protection" There stands Kansas with
prohibitory slave code on hersstatute DO )ks.
She is nor guilty of the very s.unfriendly
legislation" TO which this protection hobby
is to serve as an antidote. Why not apply it
now Nothing is more conclusive THAI this
that the issue of Congressional protection is
a mere sham, a humbug and pretense. No
thing better illustrates the recless insineerity
of these disunion leaders. Nothing better
exhibits the morbid love of agitation by
which they are actuated. Nothing more
clearly shows the ultimate end at which they
are aiming. They tried the experiment of
disunion in 1850, and failed-more warily
they proposed the slave code in 1S59-60 and
finding the people unwilling to be imposed
upon. they now gracelessly back out from its
demand. Quousqate tandem abune nostra

GEN. PILLOW and his late Letter.

The late letter of Gen. PILLOW to a score
of his Memphis friends promises TO put him
in kettle of water of temperature slightly
above tepid. In republishing the letter in
its impression of yesterday, the Union and
American felt bound to accompany it with the
remark There are some things in it which
We heartily endorse. There are some from
which we totally dissent" That is fair and
square, and affords a good opening for de-
mand of specifications by the General. But
the onion and american does not so exactly
and fully give them. 1t says it regards that
portion of the letter ''upon the rights of the
slave holder in the Territories, as among the
ablest anii-Douglas arguments" it has read.
1t is not stated in precise terms that this is
one of the things that our neighbor heartily
endorses. But he says the letter is "logical-
ly, inconsistent. The premises and the con-
clusion do not fit If it is true that the
General has made a most able argument
against DOUGLAS theories, and Immediately,
with the same stroke of the pen, espouses
DOUGLAS cause and claims to Presidential

just and torcible. Our neighbor proceeds !:
"The Senator from Mississippi tMr. DAvIs}
and Gen. PILLOW stand together upon the
constitution and laws. If Judge DOUGLAS
has overwhelmed Mr.. DAVIS, Gen. PILLOW. is
under foot This certainly, if true, puts
the General AoTs du combat. 1t imposes on
him the necessity of explaining away the
very awkward position in which it places
him. And for the present we leave the mat
ter with the General

Mr.. YANcET, the Southern Democratic
leader, who in 1858. was planning TO fire the
Southern heart, and, at the proper moment
20 precipitate the cotton States into a revO-
luton, whilst at Charleston, endeavored to
create the impression upon the minds Of the
delegates that he was not in favor of dis
union. Nevertheless, as we have before
stated, in one of his street orations, after the
secession from the Convention, he exulted in
the idea that the pen OF the historian was
already nibbed to write the story of another
revolution. lie thus inadvertently disclosed
his trle aims. At the DoUGLAs meeting in
Philadelphia, Monday night last, another
speakers, Mr.. DoUeHERTY, at the meeting
said
81 myself heard Mr. YANcEY, in this city,
last September, on an occasion, far, far re-
moved from politics, in violation of all pro-
priety. obtrude his political opinion, openly
proclaim himself disunionist, and, in leay-
ing, said We haze mt tonight as friends; ,oIe,.
and tUhsre nezt zoe msot-a0ky, lei II be as Hsauea

What are the public protestations OF such
a man, that he is not seeking disunion. WORTH
Are they not made to cover up the monstrous
iniquity at which he aims. Prepare the
minds and hearts of the people for disunion
-let them begin to feel that it is the right
full remedy,--and then we shall nave MT.

Look you, when Ar. Seward entered the
Senate, not twelve years ago, be was the sol
itary supporter of the Republican Doctrines
Now, his seat is surrounded by-tge8ty-s
three Senators pledged 10 the same political
belief.
So spoke Mr. DoUGHERTY az fine democratic
meeting in Philadelphia last Monday night
What has brought about the state of things
of which he speaks? What, but the constant
agitation Of issues connected with the sub
iect of slavery which the policy of the DEM
ocratic party, and their eoadiutors OF the
anti-slavery party North. has forced upon
the csuntry? And how is the continued
growth Of The Republican strength in Com
gress to be checked? How. but by driving
sectionalists from power, and calling to the
administration of the Government, a class of
men who viii employ the attention OF the
people with questions devoid OF seetionaiism-
OF what use is Il for Southern men to talk
of acquiring more territory COR the spread
OF slavery. whilst the state OF things NEIL
toned BY Mr. DorGHERTY continues? No
treaty of acquisition, which does not make
the territory acquired free, can be ratified
unless the Republican strength in the Senate
is reduced. Already we have seen and felt
the power Of the Republican Senators TO pre-
scribe the terms of any treaty which may be
made. We have had favorable treaty
with Nicara qua negotiated, ana another with
Mexico opening that vast country and its
rich trade to our citizens, comforting upon
them invaluable advantages, bat both treat
les have been defeated because they did not
meet the demands of the Republican Sena-
tors. So long as the Senate is constituted as
now the South may chang her harp upon the
willows" No treaty which promises an ex-
tension of the area of slavery can pass its
doors. Never whilst parties are divided upon
sectional issues, can we hope tor a change.
If the people would be true to themselves
they might, in the course of a few years, eff
feet change, by disseminating all sectional
agitation, and forcing sectiOnalists into re-
tirement. viii they not do it?

Affair of Honor.

We learn that despatch has been received
in this city, from a very reliable source in
Savannah. stating that duel took plsce
yesterday near that city, between Dr.. Holmes,
of Waynesboro', and n. A. helms, of War
renton, in which the latter was wounded,
receiving four buckshot.-The weapons used
were double-barreled shot guns. The wounds,
it is stated are not considered dangerous.
The difficulty, we believe, grew out of the
action o: a portion of the citizens of Burke
county in regard to the action of the Gcor-
gia delegates to the Charleston Convention.

was the burning in effigy of Georgia delegates
who refused to secede from the Charleston

THE s.IRREPREssrBEE CoN<
ELTCT.O
The Democracy of Georgia I'm Com

The Democracy of Georgia I'm c0n-
ventfon.
We published yesterday as far as received
the proceedings of the State Convention in
Georgia, faForing the Seceders from the
Charleston Convention. The following des-
patch gives the result of its deliberations;
MnLEDGEvILLE, June -5.-Mr. B. c. Yam
cey resumed his speech this morning in fa-
yor of the majority report, and Col. Gardner,
of Richmond. followed in favor of the mi
nority. Ex-Governor Johnson spoke for
about three hours in favor of the minority
report. VIM. L.Jacksou, Of Savannah, fol-
lowed Gov. johnson, and spoke in favor of
the majority report. Secretary Cobb closed
the debate. The speeches were all able and
eloquent. Carey w. Stiles called for the
previous question, which was adopted. A
vote was then taken on the Minority Plat
form, as follows: Ayes III Nays 305. A vote
was then ordered on the Majority Platform,
which resulted: Yeas 298, Nays Al. Col.
Gardner, of Richmond entered protest
against the action of the Convention. After
some time had elapsed, and the transaction
of minor matters. the Convention adjourned,
at dark, sine die.
So the Seceders were sustained, and sent
to Richmond with instructions to go to Bal
timore also.
On the same day at night, the opponents of
the Seceders-styling themselves the Ma
tional Democraey-also held State Con-
vention at Milledgeville. A despatch to the
Augusta Chronicle gives its proceedings briefly
as follows
MILLEDGEyILLE, June 6.-The National
Democracy met in Convention last night.
Judge Warner was chosen President. Reso-
lutions were adopted re-affir1ning the Cincin-
natl Platform, and declaring property in
slaves, and also favoring the bred Scott de-
cision.
The Convention nominated full delega-
ton to the Baltimore Convention. The dele
gates appointed for the State at large were
Judge Warner. Governor johnson, James
Gardner and a. H. Chapel.
There were thirty counties represented in
the Convention. and one hundred delegates
in attendace. The usual business was trans
acted, and the Convention adjourned.
Thus progresses the "irrepressible conflict"
in the democratic ranks. Georgia, like Ala
bama, is rent in twain-two Conventions
and two sets of delegates which will be ad-
mitted ut Baltimore.

The Northern methodistS and sIa-


The late Methodist Episcopal General
Conference, at Buffalo was much engaged in
discussing the slavery question. The discus
sion grew out OF proposition to change The
following Rnle of the Discipline:
"Quest.-What shall be done for the ex-
tirpaiion Of the evil of slavery?
Ans-Ne declare that we are as much as
ever convinced of the great evil Of slavery
therefore. no STAKEHOLDER shall be eligible TO
any Official station in our Church hereafter,
where the laws Of the State in which he lives
Will admit of emancipation. and permit the
liberated slave to enjoy freedom.
2. When any travelling preacher becomes
an owner of slave or slaves. by
any means, he shall forfeit his ministerial
character in our church. unless he execute, il
it be practicable, legal emancipation of
such slaves, cOniOrmably to the laws ot the
State in which he lives.
3. All our preachers shall prudently en-
force upon our members the necessity of
teaching their slaves to read the word Of
God; and TO allow them time to attend upon
the public worship of God on orr regular
days OF divine service"
After long and excited debate, the fol-
lowing was finally adopted in lieu OF the
above:
"Quest-What shall be done for the cxtir-
patton of the evil Of slavery
Ans--We declare that we gre as much rs
ever convinced of the great evil Of slavery.
We believe that the buying, selling, OF hold
ing OF human beings as chattels, is incOnsist-
ent with the Golden Rule, and with that rule
in cur Discipline which requires all who de
sire TO continue among us ''to do no harm,
and to avoid evil of every kind" We there
fore affcetionateiy admonish all our preach
eTs and people TO keep themselves pure from
this great evil, and to seek its extirpation by
ali lawful and Christian means"
Subsequently a resolution was adopted de-
claring the Rule last above given is advisory
in practice. leclarative of principle, and
not statutory in its nature On this the
Cincinnati GommeTciGl observes that no one
can fail to see:
1st. That the old chapter excludes from Of
fetal station iii the church all shareholders
who can legally emancipate their slaves,
while the new chapter provides for no such
exclusion.
I'd. That the old chapter forbids travelling
preachers 10 hold slaves. while the new con-
tains no such prohibition.
Sd. That the old chapter inculcates the ne
cesSity Of teaching slaves to read the Bible
and attend church, while the Few chapter
does not.
In short. the adoption of this new chapter
is. to all intents and purposes, a recession
from the high anti-slave-y ground heretofore
occupied, sinle the new chapter contains, at
the very utmost, nothing but an adm0nition
against slaveholding, while the old contained
substantial legislation against it.

position of Jere. Clemens.

1t having been stated in the newspapers
that JERE. CLEMENS had declared his purpose
to support DOUGLAS. he has addressed card
to the public through the Memphis Enquirer
of which he is one of the editors-denying
the statement and detailing the incidents
which probably gave rise 10 the report. Col.
CLEMENS thus concludes his card:
at is not improper, in this connection, to
say something of the nominations of the
Constitutional Union party. Those nomina-
tions were fairly. openly, honestly made
without a faint of fraud, trickery or contri-
vance, and l do not see how any conservative
lover of his country can feel himself at liberty
to withhold from them his support. To some
they may be distasteful. That is natural
and 70 be expected; but it should be remem-
bered that we cannot all have our choice, and
surely it is not hard requirement to ask of
the patriot. to submit to a fair majority, and
give up his personal preferences for the pub
lie good. Some may feel Indifferent as to
the result, and fail to put forth their whole
strength in the coming canvass. To them
would say that this is no time for Indifference
The rights and honor of tile country are at
stake, aud apathy is not Ear removed from
moral treason to the Republic. Some may
despair Of electing our ticket. To them l
commenced the reply OF the gallant Miller at
Lundy's Lane. When asked if he could
drive the enemy from a strong position at
the mouth of the lane, he answered, Il will
try, sir" We may not be able to elect
Messrs. Bell and Everett, but we can try, and
that trial may be rewarded by a success as
glorious as that which crowned that charge
of the hero-soldiers Of 1872. TIE conserva-
tive people of the nation, in mass Convention
assembled, have declared that these men are
best fitted 10 lead the Union host in the try
ing times before us, and 'tsink or swim; live
or die; survive or perish,'' intend to stand
by that .claration. If Republicanism is TO
be defeated, we must do it. The Democratic
party, distracted, disorganized. split into fac
lions at the North and at the South is utterly
powerless; and if it had the will it lacks the
strength to stay the march of the Republican
forces for a day. Safety from Northern
aggressions is to be found in the Union or
ganization, or it is to be found nowhere. We
may fail, but it is certain that no one else
can succeed. Let every man, therefore. go
to work as if everything depended upon his
own individual exertions. Defeat in a good
cause is honor, provided it is not brought
about by cowardice, carelessness, or indifieT-
ence. Let us guard against these, and
whether we fall or triumph, our country and
our children will have cause to rejoicen

There is, we admit, one plank to which, we
believe, Mr.. Bell has persistentIy clung
through all the vicissitudes of his public
LIE. He has always maintained-has never
once abandoned the doctrine, now advocated
by the Black Republican party, that the Con-
gress OF the United States possesses the Con-
stitutional power to prohibit the Institution
OF slavery in the Territories of the Union
Richmond Inquirer.
In the above paragraph the Richmond En-
quirer does Mr.. BELL gross injustice He has
never held the doctrine attributed to him.
On the contrary he believes Congress has
no constitutional power TO prohibit the insti-
tuition of slavery in the territories of the
Union. Will the Enquirer make the eorrec-
ton:
