George W. Lane Lincoln's North Alabama Judge,
many think ought to be hanged. We do not He is,
in our opinion, an honest, though pltiably weak
creature He was once Judge of the Circuit Court
of Alabama, and was precisely, ninth rate Judge
Without ever comprehending law enough to be re-
sponsble for any violation of it by himself he early
displayed an aptitude for squeezing large words
into small situations, SO that many foolish and gno-
rant people came to think him an orator. he is,
literally, Uor ct preferred Mill. ,se4 efa
We repeat that we believe the man to be honest
and if the average of the white not intel
ectually his superlors the negro equality doctrine Of
his new party would be right. At any rate, George
w. Lane is one the white men who is excusable for
countenancing it-M ntgome'y Mail, March 80.

The UNION AND AMERICAN is violently inclined to
join the Confederate States Does il approve the
steps by which that pretended government was cali
ed into existence, and the manner Of formation!
Notwithstanding this fling at the Confederate
States which we find in the Patriot of yesterday,
yet the day before il declared we should rejo.ce
70 see the Union reconstructed and harmony re-
stored upon the amendments on the subject of
slavery, adopted by the Confederate StStes." Then
this Constitution cannot be so grisveously wrong.
We think it not improbable that, if we had been an
actor in the Southern Confederacy we should have
left undone some things which they have done and
we should have done some things which they have
not We think it more than probable that if we had
made the sun we should have left out the spots
But what has all that to do with the questions of
the present day, unless they are intended simply to
to delude the unwary. Il would be well to carp
at the Declaration of Independence because it was
not submitted to vote of the people for ratifica.

Every man, who justly appreciates the present
crisis of the country, will admit that there should
be no parties formed now, for the sake of mere
party victory and, for that reason man or class
of men, either by themselves through their
friends, should thrust their own aspirations upon
the people.
What are the aspirations of any individual at
such time as this, be he great small, compared
to the great interests of the whole country, nay of
mankind!
What is the success of any party or set of politi-
cians in comparison with the security Of the rights
happiness and commerce of the whole people: II
follows, from this, that those who would now i'm
modestly thrust forward their dogmAs or aspira>
tions merely for the sake of rallying around them
party which will be successful at the polls, are
totally destitute of principle and patriotism, and
should be discarded by the patriotic Masses
As unworthy of trust Let men be selected for
their public and private integrity their devotion to
principle and their appreciation of the real interest
and destiny of their State, and not because they
want Office, and wish. to ride on the popular cur
rent and all will be well 1t is time that the reign
of demagegues and professional place-hunters
should end. They not to be trusted at any time

SECOND SATURDAY IN MAYgI
After consultation with many of our politics
friends in various portions of the State, it has beer
agreed to hold State Convention, to nominate can
didate for Governor, on Saturday, the 18th day O.
May. We hope that our friends in every county VIII
at once take steps to be represented in that CONVEX
tiOn by full delegations. State rights and the right
of the South wiz be seriously endangered by th'
triumph of our opponents. 1t behooves all who Op
pose Black Repubhcanism, Federalism and civil
war, to buckle on their armour for the contest Lei

We cannot concur with the Patriot that it is "a
powerful argument against the COnsttutionality of
doctrine that nothing is stated ia the Consultation on
the subject. That smacks entirely too strong of Fed
eralisn for the age. JoHN QUINCT ADAMS in his
pslmiest days, ANDREW JOHNSON to-day, could
not go further in enunciating their antiDemocratic,
anti Republican views If we mistake not the States
made the Constitution. One article of the Consttu-
tion very emphatically declares that "The powers
not deeqaed to the United States by the Constitution,
nor prohibited by it to the States are reserved to the
States respectively or to the people If all the
functions of State Government are unconstitu-
tOna, because they are not mentioned andsexpress-
y permitted by the Constitution of the United States
then are the States indeed Mr.. LINCOLN suggests,

The people of the Border Slave States ought new
er to accept any guarantees from the NORTH and
the seeded States certainly never will unless tney

and guarantee the power, on the partof the South,
TO check hereafter the usurpations of Northern
majority. directed against institutions. Unless
these pous are settled, the South only hope for
temporary respite from agitation, excitement
and iuvasions. If the Southern States shall
rest content with any less than this, then they
are wanting in the determination to maintain their
rights No true Southern man will be willing to
plant the honor peace and rights of his people only
upon possible guarantees. He will look to what il
necessary to secure peace and safety in the future.
He will never consent to any guarantees that are
not adequate to produce these results, or that viii
leave any open questions, of sectional character,
to be settled hereafter. He viii never be willing
again to subject the country, its business and its
peace to another such terrible ordeal that through
which it is now passing. He will demand firm, fixed,
clear and unambiguous guarantees that will never
hereafter be subject to cavl or dispute Any other
kind will not be worth the parchment on which
they will be written, and viii only prove Pan
doras box, containing evils, thousand fold worse
for the South that those that have already assaed
her because she is every day losing power and
growing weaker, IS compared to the North, under
the temporizing policy of making concessions to the
sntslavery spirit and yielding up all the territory
of the United States to their rapacious demands.
Let not Southern men, who truly love the South,
then be deceived by their wish for a temporary
truce, which, under the allurement of compromise,
will prove fatal to her interests unless the guaran
tees accepted are amply sufficient to settle all causes
of controversy now existing likely to arise be-
tween the North and the South.

correspondent of the Charleston Mercury writing
from this place, speaks of the offer Of loan OF
