POLITICAL.

Strength Of Breckinridgesin Georgia.
Those who have been heretofore SO
busy in trying to make it appear that
Douglas has no strength in the South,
will find but little consolation in the
following from the Augusta Chronicle
and Seminal, the leading opposition
paper in Georgia. The people have
scooled down"-are coming to the con-
clnsion that they have been made dupes
of by the Douglas-h hating politicians !;
At the first announcement of the
Baltimore nominations the Democratic
masses, nursing their wrath against
Mr.. Douglas, were apparently enthused
for Breckenridge. But the latter was
stronger on Monday, June 25th, than
he has ever been since. After the first
excitement, people cooled down, and
upon examination they were astonished
at the fact that the Seceders had them
selves put up Squatter as their can
didate, and, rejecting more and more
upon. 1T, they have come to the conclu-
sion that they were actuated not by any
desire to do the South real service,
but simply to wreak their vengeance on
man, to continue the ''wickedly
foolish" war commenced by Buchanan
two years ago, and also by desire, on
the part of some at least of the secedars,
to secure the election of Lincoln (whom
Buchanan had previously aided in his
contest with Judge Douglas,) and thus
precipitate dissolution of the Union.
Consequently the Democratic people
taS nj, n IL, a.:
the residuary legatee of all the corrup-
ton and denominations of the present
outrageous Administration--thes supple
tools of the camp-followers and plum
derers.
In this (Richmond) county, it is said
by those who ought to be posted, that
there are only tkirtg-t,co breckenridge
men, out of a voting population of near
two thousand. Gentlemen from Col
umbia inform us that there are seven,
out of 500. in that county. From Lin
coin we hear of none. In Wilkes
there are goodly number, but they are
very anxious to compromise. The
Franklin Democracy, we learn, are al
most unanimous for Douglas and John
son; and the same news comes also
from Hall and Habersham. The sece-
ders bid fair in Georgia, according to
present appearances, to die out before
the first frost.
The Unkindest Cut.-The Charles
ton Mercury, one of the most ultra
journals in the whole South, refuses to
support the Seceders in the action they
have taken. 1t denounces their ticket
as too sectional for even ats support.
Here is what it has to say, and the
truth it utters is all the more potent,
coming from the source it does

body on Tuesday, the 18th instant, Mr..
A. S. Forth, the Mayor, has been fully

below Adams street; the Surveyor to
furnish oil necessary lines and levels
required in carrying those works to final
completion. The work on the Levee is

pies, under whose banner all patriotic
citizens could stand.

is true index of the State, he will
carry it by thousands. The Republi-

the abandonment of the rank and file
of Lincoln, and the espousal of the
cause of Douglas and popular sover-

Fremont are coming back old Wings

EDITOR JOURNAL The time is near at
hand for the election of new City Coun-
Gil, and there is one interestuabove all 9TH
ers which should be looked to- Notwith-
standing the fact that the people by an over
whelming majority have decided that our
noble system of free Public Schools shall
be maintained, it is well known that there
is class or clique who are determined to
put them down. 1t is worse than useless
to attempt to injure the schools by direct
appeals to the people, for with them the
desire would meet the discountenance ii de-
serves. But every year the question has to
be settled in the election of a Council If
by any false issue or deception a majority of
opponents to the schools can he elected, it
will certainly be done.
! suggest therefore that the voters of the
various Wards should ut an carly day select
their best men with special reference to
their position on the school question, ire
spective of party considerations, and let no
man obtain a seat in the Council without
having his position on that question well
defined. Let us not, by inactivity aud neg
ligence, see the proudcst monument of our
citys intelligence and liberality destroyed
by illiberal and designing men. There is
no time to be lost. w.

The Figh. Goes Bravely On.

The telegraph yesterday announced that
there is movement on foot to change the
place of meeting of the Democratic Nation
al Convention from Charleston to Baltimore
This is a Douglas movement. The Lit
tie Giant is afraid he won't have fair play
in the City of Fire Eaters. The, "$7 Il
day is only an excuse. But the move
wont win. The Southerners will say to
this proposition-"N No you don't The Con-
vention was authoritively called at first to
meet at Charleston; the various State Con
ventions have appointed their delegates to
go 10 Charleston and there the Convention
has to be held. If not we'll bolt"
The "upshot" of the affair will bet
the relocation be carried out-two Conven-
tons will be held-one at Baltimore; the
other at Charleston. The former will nomi-
nate Douglas; the latter Slidell, A G..
Brown, Hunter, jeff. Davis, or some repre-
sentative Southern man, or else Bright or
some other Northern doughface, which
would amount to the same thing. Bright
against Douglas Wouldn't that be funny 2
Stranger things have happened.
1t would not be at all surprising to see
four Presidential tickets in the field this
year.

WHAT KILLED THE MEXICAN TREATY
A correspondent of the N. Y. Express says
that MIR. Simmons, of Rhode Island, gave
the coup de grace to the Mexican Treaty. He
writes
Sneaking of Rhode Island, reminds me
that the new Mexican Treaty was killed in
the Senate through the sagacity of her dis
tinquished Senator, Mr.. Simmons. This
Treaty provided for the establishment of
fcec trade between Mexico and the United
states. Our treaties with other nations
provided that they shall all be put on the
same footing with the most favored nations
IN this respect. If, then, this treaty with
Mexico had been confirmed, we should have
been compelled to open our ports to Great
Britain, France, Germany, and all The world
hesides. Our revenue would have been an
Initiated at one blow, and Congress have
been compelled to resort TO direct taxation

Mr.. Simmons exposure of this clause OF
the Treaty, of course took the Senate by
sunrise. and the result was that the Treaty
was laid on the table by an unanimous vote.
