HON. JOSEPH E. BROWN,
OF CHKEOHEK.
SECOND WEDNESDAY IN JULY,
Am’ Gainesville the place, suggested by a
majority of the counties, for'.the Congres-
•.iioii.il Convention of the Sixth District.
The Democratic 1’ouvciitiaii and
the National Administration.
An effor is being mailo by the opposition
press of the stale, who understand very well
the great strength of Mr. Duch' nan's Ad
ministration with the intelligent and law.
abiding citizens of Georgia, to produce the
impressinn that bis administration was re
pudiated or at least partially condemned by
the late State convention. Their object is
too transparent to deceive anybody except
The insignificant little faction that made so
much noise in the forenoon of the conven
tion, ami wlio went borne snarling with
their tails between their legs. It is to be
hope it i'i.ii they will continue to whine
.1, ieo.J the opposition until they take their
proper position in its ranks. It will be a
happy riddance to the Democratic party,
anil tilt new name of Opposition will suit
thfcin exactly ; tsr they always have been
aiul always will lie ojipoecl to everything
sensible, reasonable and just. Their minds
are so constituted that they can be satisfied
With nothing; and their frequent change of
position—now iu otra party—now in an-
other; yesterday Know Nothings kneeling
before Sam anil worshipping daiU lanterns—
And to-dav Demo.-rats pur excellence anil af
fecting to understand the principles and lead
Thera elands the resolution. It means
what it sayi, and speaks for itself. It is
plain English and every body can understand
it. It received the unanimous vote of the
Old Sixth except our yonng friend of the
Lawrenceville Sews, and we dare say he
would have voted for it, but for the fact that
Judge Jackson favored it, Gov. Cobb was a
member of the cabinet of the President, and
he had been told before he left home not to
vote for anything of the sort. It received
the cordial support of all the friends of Gov.
Cobb and was triumphantly carried by the
heavy vote of more than ten to one, and in
the election of Gov. Brown, who “ stepped
upon it,” to use his own language, it will he
ratified by the people at the polls by the
heaviest majority Georgia ever cast for the
Democracy.
the action of our party, abundantly attests
their total want ol all political principl
well as of all modesty and dtlicncy. They
are deceived by the opposition press, be
cause they wish to he deceived—being part
nnd parcel to all intents and purposes, of
the Opposition. The Democratic parly pro-
pet—its principles and organization—have
ho more hitter and virulent foes outside its
ranks than those snarling lactionisls and
would-be leaders inside. Utterly des'itute
ot teal strength—whether we consider their
mental caliber or popularity with the masses
they are ever found at conventions, trying to
make up the hick of bruins with loud talk
mid bluster, and to cover up their reai vto.ik-
iiess with the people at home by great brag
ping abroad. He See that one of these
specimens of good sense and modesty, who
.actually confesses his shame and prides
himself upon his fully by using th" signa
ture “ One of Them," has written a long
tirade of nonsense in a late number of the
Ntatc Press at Macon, and the opposition
press, glad to get the slightest crumb of
comfort to feed tho famishing skeleton of
what was once Sam hut is now Opposition,
are reproducing it iu their columns. We
doubt not that “One of Them” is might
ily pulled up by the republicaliuh of his
assault upon the Democratic party, and
greatly rejoices that ho can find a paper pro
cessing Democratic faith weak enough to be
the medium of his incoherent ravings to
the people. After being soundly thrashed
in the convention to the tune ol 371 to 31—
and a majority of those 31 sorry in a half
boar afterwards that they did not vote with
(lie majority of the convention, this pink of
purity arid of truth wojld have the public
believe that 371 wore vanquished and 31
were victors. Though one of them protest
ed against it, and the others fought it by
•speech and vole and call for the previous
question and motions to nominate Gov.
Drown by acclamation—now it is all they
wanted—the very thing that suits them, he.
c iuse fomiulh it condemns the administra
tion. It is a little remarkable they did not
sue what a “ withering rebuke,'' it was to
the President when they were fighting, op
posing and voting against it. The truth was
disclosed in an editorial of the Constitution
alist published immediately after the con-
tention. The friends of Gov. Cobh and the
administration did press and pass the re
solution. They passed it just as they Wanted
it. They demanded nothing hut a resolution
of confidence. They asked for nothing
more and would have been content with
nothing less; and in the category of friends
of Gov. Cobb end the national administra
tion, v. c are gratified to number, in the
language of the Constitutionalist, “all the
1) Siuocratic party ol Gcorgie,” for we com
sidcr “ One of Them ” and the pitiful little
handful ol malcontents who sympathize with
him as part, and very a insignificant part at
'-lift, of an old party in a new dress and
tailed “ Opposition."
We subjoin a copy of the resolution of the
convention. It will he seen it expresses
confidence in James Buchaian, President
oj the United States. The convention had
nothing to do with Mr. Buchanan in any
other capacity hulas President. They ex
press confidence in hi* ability and patriot-'
isnt as Pretident, and this every man who'
understands the English language must re
paid as an endorsement of Ids conduct in
his official character. But his messages and
his course as President had been so sound
and Southern on the great overshadowing
question of domestic slavery.! and on aecounl
of that course he had incurred so much hos
tility from a faction of Northern Democrats,
that it was deemed proper to express, not
ln hyperbolical but in decided terms, theap-
P r °val of that course oy the Georgia De
mocracy ;
P'tohtd, That we have confidence in the
1 1 ,, y ? nd patriotism of James Buchanan,

Misreprescufation.
We notice extracts iu some ol ihe Opposi
tion papers from a communication in the
State Press, of .Macon, over the signature of
“One of Them,” which appears to he ad.
dressed to one of the < <1..°" ofthis paper,
and which grossly perverts his remarks in
an article of the 23d ull., upon the action of
ihe late Democratic Slate Convention. As
we do not receive the Press in exchange, we
think i' would he hut common courtesy in
the Editors to send us a copy of their paper,
when they admit an attack upon us.
The writer says: “You were unkind
enough to denominate Camming, Nisbct,
Williams, Tracy, Dixon, Hall and Steele
and others, as small calibre." In alluding
to Ihe speakers against the resolutions, we
said : * Mr. J. A. Jones, and cne or two oth
ers of less caliber, followed, against.” We
remember hut two gentlemen in the above
list who spoke against the resolutions. We
ate very certain that neither Messrs. Cura-
ming, Nisbet or Williams spoke against the
resolutions, and we could not therefore have
“denominated them small caliber." Our pri
vate relations with the first gentlemen men
tioned are such as would forbid our placing
them in a false position intentionally.
If we are to judge, the only two gentlemen
in the list wC remember to have spoken, by 18sue -
their periormances on that day, we should
say that public speaking and controling the
action of deliberative bodies, is nut their forte.
Especially would we advise one of them,
the next tune he attempts to play the part
ofRoderic Dhu. to he certain that his men
understand that they are to rise up when he
whistles, lie should follow the advice of
Bottom—
“First, good Peter Quince, say \Vjiat the
play treats on: then read the names Cl’ the
actors; and so grow to a point.'’
Dinner to Hon. A.11. Stephens.
The complimentary dinner to Hon. A. H.
Stephens passed off pleasantly in Augusta
on the 2d. Mr. S. spoke at length, touch
ing upon all the prominent questions of the
last sixteen years—the length ot time he
has been in Congress. He is favorable to
the re-opening of the African Slave trade
and the repeal of the neutrality laws. The
Constitutionalist contains a synopsis of his
speech, but we shall wait until it is written
out by the author, as probably it will be»
ere publishing it.
Gov. Cobb—.Merited Compliment.
We find in the money article of the Phila
delphia ledger the following merited com
pliment to Gov. Cobh, which we transfer to
our columns with great pleasure :
‘•The Detroit Free Press, in alluding to
the arduous and difficult duties the Secreta
ry of the l'reisury has been called upon to
perform, says, with truth, that Mr. Cobb
has not been excelled by any of his prede
cessors in the a iitinisirative ability requi
site to the successful management of the
treasury. None of his more immediate pre-
i decessors have encountered the same difficul
ties in office with which he has to contend.
It is easy to preside over a plethoric exche
quer, when all the industrial interests of the
country are prosperous, ft is not easy to
manage an exhausted treasury, and at a lime
too. when the country sensitively feels every
burden which it bears. It was the fortune
of Mr. Cobh’s immediate p'cdecessors to
hold office during periods when the icven-
ues exceeded the wants of Government. It
has been required of him to provide for ex
penditures largply in advance of the receipts
Irom regular sources of revenue. It is such
an exigency as this that tries the metal el
public men. Mr. Cobh has come out of the
trial with iufiniie credit to himself.”
Hoaxed.
A hoax has been perpetrated on the Sa
vannah -Veiw, iu regard to the appointments
in Franklin College, and several of its co-
temporaries have copied the announcement
into their columns. V. e are sorry that an
incorrect list .hould thus have found its way
to the public notice. A true record of the
honors and the appointments in each of the
higher classes, was published in our last
Personal.
lion. X. L. JI iTcnjNs passed through our
town on Saturday last, tn his way to Elbert
county. He goes there for the purpose o
holding the Superior Court of that county ;
there being some cases in which Hon. Thus.
j \N . Thomas does not wi,h to preside, as he
was former counsel in them.
Trouble in ihe Opposition I'anp.
The new Opossum party have got in a
tangle already. The Contention which
assembled at Netvnnn, in the -Ith District
on the CD:li lilt., and nominated Wm. !•’.
IN right, of Coweta, as the Opposition Can
didate against lion. L. J. Gartrel!, fur Con
gress, resolved that they had no sympathies
with “the free Soil affiuites of Veil, Critten
den or Houston, and ill o'iiers who opposed
the admission of Kansas under th» Lecomp-
lon Conciliation.” Messrs. Bell and Crit
tenden being the great fenders of the lu:e
deceased American parly, and also the pre
sent Opposition party, the resolution has
caused a considerable tangle in the ranks.
The Chronicle & Sentinel thus protests
against the resolution :
We cannot permit the report of the action
of the Convention in the -fill district to pass
without expressing our surprise at, and dis
approbation of the resolution reflecting upon
Messrs. Bell and Crittenden. * * * *
* * Such a fling at such men, men bat
tling in the same cause, is not only unwise
and unjust, hut most ungracious and uncall
ed for. The country boasts no purer pal ri
ots than John J. Crittendens of Kentucky,
and John Bell, of Tennessee, both men who
have the honesty and independence to main
tain and advocate what they believe to he
right, and their duty as patriots and .Southern
men.
The same Convention also denounced
the English hill as “a cheat, a fraud, and a
swindle perpetrated by aspiring an 1 disloy
al demagogues upon the institution of slavery
and the rights of the South.” Now as Mr_
Trippe, one of the two American members
of Congress from Georgia, voted for this
bill, according to the resolution passed in a
Convention of Ins own parly, he has been
guilty of “a cheat, a fraud and a swindle”
upon the South. Let the Opposition press
luok to their own household before they
again jeer the Democracy with its lack ol
harmony, if they harmonise some of the
elements they now have, (fresh recruits,}
and oonte tve hope they will soon have, they
will have their hands full.

iThe Slatinee Mnsicale.
We had the pleasure of listening to a con
cert of vocal and instnmental music given
at the Lucy Cooo Institute on last Thaisday
morning, by the music class of Prof. P. A.
Wurtn. The hall was well filled by guests
invited to this musical feast and their ap
plause showed their appreciation of its ex
cellence. tVe scarcely know to width
sense we were indebted for the most pleas
ure, that of hearing or of sight. $w,eet as
were the notes drawn from the harps, we
almost forgot to listen as we looked at the
graceful forms and fair faces of the perform
ers. Melodious as were the voices of the
sisters, they charmed us no more than did
their bright eyes and classic features.—
“Meet me by moonlight” was sung with
taste and feeling, yet we inwardly rejoiced
that po dim, uncertain moouheains, but the
clear light of day, revealed to us the beauty
of the song.ttress. The choruses displayed
to advantage all of the class, ar.d reflected
great credit on the teacher Who had so skill
fully trained their voices to sound in perfect
harmony. We do not pretend to be a tuusi-
cal critic, and therefore make no comment
upon the instrumental performances, except
that to our untutored ears they all seemed
to he well-executed. Lest we should ven.
ture beyond our depth, wo will say no more.

Auothcr Phase of the Insanity -
The attacks of the malady of our young
friend of the Lawrenceville Sews are in
creased in violence every new moon. In
his last issue he taves and froths and foams
more than ever. He abuses every body—
his daddy included. He is engaged in the
rain attempt to arouse old jealousies between
the Southern Rights and Union men of I860.
By implication he denounces the old Union
men as “tame submissionists—southern men
with northern principles—willing to submit
to any sacrifice of honor and interest hy the
South in order to advance the political for
tunes of their favorites/' Now. Col. Jams
I’. Simmons, of -the county of Gwinnett, was
one of the most prominent Union men of
1850; and supported Hon. Howtu, Cobb
for Governor, and continued la support him
up to his election to Congress in 1-855 ; since
which time Col. Slmmons has had a desire
tn go to Congress, and because he couldn’t
do it, fell out with Gov. Cobb and all his
friends. Our readers will see that the case
is a hopeless one. NYe had some hope so
long as our unfortunate friend confined his
abuse to Gov. Cobh, Judge Jackson, and
ourselves; but since be has turned to abus
ing Ins paternal ancestor tn such an outra
geous manner, we have lost all hope. The
sooner Dr. Green takes him in hand, the
belter.
Extremes Meet.
The Hoosc of Representatives of New
Hampshire, on the 27th ult., passed a se«
ries of strong anti-slavery resolutions, in
which they took occasion to denounce the
present National administration as corrupt
and extravagant.
The gallant thirty-four in Ihe late Geor
gia Democratic Convention would have con
demned the administration also, had they
possessed the power.
Local Matters.
Celebration of the Fourth.
Ou- great national anniversary was cele
brated in Athens in a vaiiety of ways.—
Belure the day had fairly dawned, the re
ports ol cannon announced its advent. At
a very early hotir the mere ptous of our
young men assembled iu a prayer-meeting,
to invoke hies si ;gs upon our shortly bless
ed Di'd. About nine o’cloch, a silver trum
pet w..8 presented to Captain Nickerson, of
F’ire Company, Hope No. 1, accompanied
by a short and Complimentary all lire AS by-
Mr. T NY. Walker, to which Caj t. N. re
sponded at some iengih. These prelimina
ries over, the Guards, followed hy ocr two
F'ire comp.ii itis, (Hope No. 1 and Relief No. GABItlF.L NASH, Cb’n.
2/ and the Pioneer Hook arid l,adder Com- LBA l,,UNS » I> '"'
pany, marched lo die Grove Seminary.—
There a temporary stage had been erected
and seats provided lor a large number of
spectator*. A large audience assembled to
hear the oft-told story of the Revolution,
and learn anew the lesson of patriotic duty.
The Declaration was gracefully read by
Corp. Jos. (ierdine, and an appropriate ad
dress, lull of hold images and stirring ap
peals, was delivered by Corp. Lamar Cobh.
The Guards then went by invitation to the
College Chapel, where the same time-hon
ored document was to be rend and similar
truths to be forced home to their hearts.—
Mr. G. A. Nurinally filled well his post as
reader, enunciating each word clearly and
using emphasis in excellent taste. Mr. J.
1). Popp, the orator of the day, followed
with a sulitl, logical speech, evincing ma
ture thought and extensive knowledge.-
While the Marshal of the day and his aids
were listening to the oration, their saddles
were filled by sab-le deputies in the shape of
little darkies, who rode through the streets
much to the amusement of the lookers-on.
The member* of the Episcopalian Sunday
School had a pic-utc in the morning, thus ’
combining religion, patriotism and pleasure.
In the afternoon there was a parade of the
“Patagonian Light Infantry,” which at
traded swarms of little children, white,
black and parti-colored. A burlesque de
claration was read and a humorous speech
delivered, characterized by spread-eagle elo
quence, felicitous quotations and native wit.
At night tue Sophomores and students gen
erally treated us to a fine display of fire
works. The gteen west of the Campus was
crowded, and the street and sidewalks were
overflowing with a concourse of ladies and
gentlemen, boys and girls, who catne from
everv quarter of the town. Thus closed
our honored anniversary, without the drunk
en quarrels and dfcgracelul fights, -heretofore
so common. A moderately cool day, and a
clear night, resembling a spring evening in
its temperature, added to the enjoyment of
the occasion. But now rt has passed.and we
leave this oasts to tfafel on over the desert
of the future, tiN'the 8th of January reminds
us once more of the’ victories of our sol
diers. NY’hy have We not more days of na
tional rejoicing, more holidays,- in which we
may rest front Door and cast behind us the
