The Kick 31 an 1 Wo gave last weolc the opinions of the Democratic doctors of Georgia, who lit the call of tho "painful forebodings" eommittee of Macon, kavo each given to the public u diagnosis of the disease which has so completely prostrated the “party." The doctors disagree widely as to the cause or the diseaso; but all agree in recommending a clmngo of ell mat** for the patient, and think that of Baltimore would bo most beneficial.— Our opinion is, and wo give it for what it is worth, (not thinking that it will I e worth much in the estimation of its friends,)Jthat it is tho decomposition and corruption naturally and inevitably re sulting from tho disease known ns "dry rot,” (see Stephens Dictionary.) The patient is past recovery and the case ill terminate about the middle of We give in another column the letter of our immediate representative Col. Underwood. Ho agrees with Hon. Howell Cobb, and is too humane to pro long the agonies of the patient by ad ministering non-intervention stimulants and “federal pop." It is a desperate i a«e and he prescribes a desperate rem edy. “Kill or euro" is tho label on the phi.d. If it kills why then it was too far gone to be fit to live. Gov. Brown has also been called in i ad ns might have boon oxpoctod be prescribes "yarb lea."

House or Kepresbntatives, 1 Washington City, May 11, '00. ) Gentlemen : Your* of the 5th inst., with received this morning, and I cm* braco tho very earliest moment to reply candidly and promptly. Without expressing* any opinion ns to tho propriety of tho secesnori of tho delegates from eight of the Southern States, at the time it was made, from tho National Democratic Convention at Charleston, I am free to say that the people of tlio whole south should sus tain thom. A refusal to do so, would be backing down from the position taken by our Representatives, in the past; wo have been much injured by this course, and I would avoid it now. Many of our delegates have been loug and favorably known tot ho people; they have been Horrible Accident—Death of an Aer onaut* Tho telegraph has already announced io frightful death of an icronaut named Augustus M. Connor by tho collapse of tho balloon in which ho was making an ascension from Palace Gar den, Now York, on Thursday afternoon. The New York papers furnish tho fol lowing particulars of tho frightful cub ustropho: Tho afternoon was cloudy and gusty, and tho frail fabric swaved so violently under tho slight gain which sprung up about 4 o’clock, that tho tears of the spectators, some threo hundred and fifty in number, were thoroughly arous ed, and there wore loud cries of "don’t , , , , , go up," "don’t go up," flout all sides, ted often, and have never hotrayed nittl sevorul tierional friends of tho their constituents. J hey were on the j young mronout No entreated him to 1 otion looks to tho *—~ 1 id; the •it of. acuon iooks to tlio pro- . postpone the ascension, but he refused, rights and honor mid their , His wife, who was present, was quite taken in referenco to that ob ject, and it is people upon questions involving issu so momentous. Whilo 1 Cuus uuci| ditionally sustain those wl front tho Convention, 1 hav demnution to make in reference to those who d.ilured from the seceding delegates, and saw proper to remain in the Convention. It is a matter of extraordinary regret, that our own delegation dilleml us to the propriety of the course to he pur sued. It would have been best, bad all acted together; but this is no cause of strife in the party in our own Stato, if wisdom and moderation prevail. Melt are so constituted, that all will not think and in t alike. I hope all agree in principle, mid when the time for definite action shall come, all will act to gether. At this particular juncturo in public alluirs, it is all-important that our rights should be clearly defined, and our equal ight to carry our property into tho 'onimoit territories, mid hold it there, roe from confiscation, or exclusion hy •non-action" or “ unfriendly legisla- ion,” mid "that tho only power which Congress possesses over tho subject of slavery in tho territories, is tho power coupled with the duty of guarding mid . tu ... ^.mpaiiy him, but he tune now to divide our calmly told her, "iny dear, you must ! wait till the next timo." | Shortly before taking Ills placo in tho I ear, Ins attention was callod to u rent in 1 the balloon, when he tied it up, with a laughing expression that it might “cause the balloon to burst mid spill him out." All being in readiness, shortly after 4 o’clock he bid his wife mi atlectionuto adieu, and taking his place in tho car, the ropes were cut and tlio balloon durted upward, when, at that instant, it was struck hy a squall mid hinged against thu cornice of tho Concert building near. The wind subsiding, the balloon rose above the high ornaments on tlio build ing mid then suddenly collapsed, nnd with its basket mid occupant instantly disappeared from sight. A scene of the wildest confusion now ensued, Mrs. Connor and a fern,do relative who ac companied her, fainting mid falling helpless upon the ground. Loud shrieks rent the air, both insido and outside of tlio Garden, and the frantic people rushed hither and thither without knowing why or wherefore.— After much contusion an officer suc ceeded in gaining the roof of tho Con cert Hall, where they found young Connor lying in an insensible condition, covered with tho wreck of his balloon. With grout difficulty ho was removed to tho hall, mid examined hy a physician, who pronounced him injured internally, and in such a manner as to preclude tho possibility of his recovery. Mr. Connor continued to sink very rapidly, .....I ... i i i. i_ a 4 I. A Iloinuqnitlilc dose of Truth. For tho information of those who don’t know, wo publish below what is ifbw termed tlio “Tcnncssoo Resolu tion"—the "Ultimatum of tho South"'— the “New York bid to the soeodors."- Alter tho delegations of several South ern States had withdrawn, and Virgin ia, North Carolina, Tcnnosseo and Ken tucky frt-ro in consultation whether they too would follow, tho New York delegation offered this resolution as a bads of settlement. Tho chairman of the Tennessee delegation read it to tho Convention and declared it to be the “ultimo urn of tho South." Tho Con vention had adopted a resolution to proceed to ballot for candidates, and refused to reconsider for tho purposo of voting on this. And it is for this pur poso that tho Southern Secede now invited to Baltimore to settle the difficulties and unite the party what Senator Toombs calls a "partial installment of tho truth," that is, while it repudiates Squatter Sovereignty, it ignorus the right of the South to protec tion. Whether the South will get it at Baltimore is one question, and whether she will accept it is another, which w« propose to discuss in our noxt. Resolved, That all tho citizens of the United States have unequal right to settle, with their property in the Terri tories of tho United States—and that under tho decision of tho Suj Court of tlio United States hcrctofor made on this subject, which, wo recog liize us a correct exposition of tho C. Htitutioii of tho United States, neither their rights of person, nor property,c he destroyed or impaired by Congr sioual or Territorial Legislation. The Squatters Defeated ill Atlanta, Col. B. C. Yancey passed through our town a day or two since and informed us that in the Democratic meeting Atlanta on Saturday the Squatters w completely routed On tho 12th inst the Democracy o Fulton county met. Tho majority of tho committee app ted for the pi /poso reported resolu tions, pvntormUting tho expros opinion concerning tho withdra the Southern delegates from tho Char leston Convention; favoring tho repr mentation of Georgia in the Baltimore Convention, and insisting upon nothing more than tho Cincinnati platform nnd what is known ns tho Tcnnosseo resolu tion. The minority Committee—Mes srs. T. C. Howard and B. C. Yancey reported the majority resolutions of Charleston Convention ; highly approv ed the course of the seccders; recom mended that delegates be sent to Rich mond, and whether to Richmond or Baltimore that they be instructed to insist on protection by the Federal gov- nment in all its departments to prop erty of every description in tho Terri to* : ie : . Tho report of the minority after a lebate lasting from 11 A. M. to 0 1*. M. was adopted with slight alteration, by .-* vote of lb to 25. Well done for Ful- protucting the owner in his rights, acknowledged and affirmed. The clear and unmistakable operation of this principle, abnegates the doctrino that slavery only exists where there is a local law establishing it. Nino tenths of the people of Georgia require the asser tion of theso principles free from any equivocation or double face, and l doubt not our delegation are prepared to con tend for them and maintain them. It is equally important that a candid ate should he nominated, whoso previ ous political life, afl'ords a suro guaran ty that theso principles will be unforced in his lulministrntiou. It is well known to tho country that Senator Douglas, a prominent candid ate for the Presidency entertains views diametrically opposito to what I have stated to he essential to tho preserva tion of our rights ami equality. That being so, his friends in thu convention -fused to incorporate those principles tlio platform, and thus presented to prefiontutives of thu Convention tho .Southern States, a series of olutions, which not only ignored and led their equality in tho common itories, but refused their reeogni- t when demanded. Now, did out rgates demand anything at Charles- on to which wo are not justly entitled? it unreason aide, after tho con- action that Mr. Douglas had placed upon the Cincinnati platform, in Ins essays and addresses? Not only was this denial of tho platform clearly made, and that too by thu votes of dei ties representing States that cannot i relied upon to give a single electoral >to for Droddont; but by the same States wo were threatened with tho nom ination of Mr. Douglas for .President.— is so unjust, and so aostructivo right, that our representatives ould not submit to it. \N ill we? matter of still greater regrot, that there should bo any division at tho South in this crisis. The union of the utii, for the preservation of our equal i and expired at 11 o’clock Inst night in the arms of his wife. His injuries were of an internal natiiro,nnd were roooivod hy his striking against thu ornaments on the building. The balloon was torn into shreds, and tho cur badly broken. Tho unfor tunate young man had brought a suit against .1. Wise, tho leronaut, and lmd only left tho court-house, where it was being tried, a half hour beforo his death. Previous to leaving Court, ho remarked jokingly to the defendant, "I’m going up to-day, nnd I guess you’ll be glad if I nover comeback," verifying tho old adage "that there's many a true word spoken in jest."

Humor nml Music. When humor joins with rhy thm and music, and appears in song, its influ- ) is irresistible; its charities __„jitlcss; it stirs tho feelings to 1< peace, friendship, as scare any moral agent can. The songs of Berangcrnro hymns of love and tenderness; I havo seen great whiskered Frenchmen war bling tho "bonne ViUc” "Soldats an pas au pas, with tears rolling down their moustaches. At a Bums festival, 1 havo seen Scotchmen singing Burns, while tho drops twinkled on their furrowed cheeks; whilo each rough hand was flung out to gtnsp its neigh bor's ; while early scones nml sacred recollections, and dear and delightful memories of tho past came rushing back at the sound of tiie familiar words and music, and the softened heart was full of love, and friendship, and Home. Humor! if tears are thu mins of gentle spirits, and may he counted, as sure tiiey may, among the sweetest of life’s charities—-of that kindly sensibility, and sweet, sudden emotion, which ex hibits itself at thu eyes, 1 know no such provoentivo as humor. It is an irresis tible sympathiser ; it surprises you into compassion; you are laughing and disarmed, and suddenly forced into tears. 1 once heard a humorous bulled- ist, a minstrel with wool on his head, and an ultra Ethiopian complexion, who performed a negro ballad, that 1 confess moistened these spectacles in tho most unexpected manner. They havo gazed at dozens of tragedy queens, dying on tho stago, and oxpiling in appropriate blank verso, and 1 never wanted to wipo them. They havo looked up, with deep respect he it said, at many scores of clergymen in pulpits, and without being dimmed ; and be hold, a vagabond with a corked face and a Iwtnjo sings a little song, strikes a wild note which sets the whole heart thtilling with happy pity. Humor 1 humor is thu mistress of tears; she knows the way to tho Jons lachrymarum, strikes in dry and rugged places with her enchanting wand, nml bids tho fountain gush mid sparkle. She has refreshed myriads more from her natu ral springs, than over tragedy has watered from her pompous old urn.— 1 hackcray. Trade Between Germ an v and the South.— Washington, May 10.-— A Central Committee at Washington, to ho com posed of leading Southern men and prominent Germans, is comtomplated in order to facilitate tho project of direct trade for commercial reciprocity be tween tho Southern States of our own country and Germany. Trade commit tees, composed of planters nnd mer chants, are forming in every cotton dis trict. This movement is regarded hero us important, especially in connection with its future etl'cct upon the tariff question. Tho official correspondence, emanating from tho lending Bank of Belgium, shows that this institution has consented to becoino tho patron of the cotton planting intorost in Central Eu- ropo. * ^ embra tho material matters which A Treasure Found.—Mr. W. S Brant- ly, of the South-Western railroad, tells us ho has just rcce.ved a note from Mr. Long, agent of the road at Reynolds, in Taylor county, saying that a box was found yesterday morning on the side of tho road, four miles above that and in that box a well dressed ai pretty female child, apparently about threo or four weeks old. The little in nocent had boon provided with THE HOSE OF BEAUTY. Soft tho trembling moon-beams quivered Over h ill-top, vale and lea, And tho stars wore throwing kisses To tho bright waves of the son. And tho dew drops sweetly whispered Love songs to the blushing rode, And tho blue waves of the streuinlct, Lulled tlio lilly to repose. ’Neath the golden light they lingered, Gazing on tlio stars above, And they took her hand nnd whispered Soft nnd silv’ry words of lovo. Told her that tho moon that wanders O’er night’s starry, silent sen, Could not bo more truo und faithful Than his spirits lovo would be. Culled her beautiful and lovely, Rose of beauty—star of light— Told her that her shining tresses Were more splendid than the night— Told her that her lips were rosebuus, Dripping with the evening clow, And her luow was like the marble, With the blue veins creeping through. She was but u child in feeling, Sunshine with its April tears; Free and happy ns the wild bird, Never knowing doubts or fears. And she gave to him the purest .Jewel of tho spirit’s tnino; Poured her young heart’s holy incenso Madly on a worthless shrine. Ho grow cold and false and faithless And ho left her all alone, Though her soft eyes might havo molted Hearts as cold and hard nsstmio. And she plead with fond oaressos, Begged him that ho would not go— But her wildest kiss was lavished— On thu lips that dealt the blow. I/we ami prayers, alas l were fruitless, For ho spurned her from his side— Told her that some proud, bright lady Wns best fitted for his bride. Still she plead, hut oh! ho coldly Scorned her simple, childish trust; And tho gentle Rose of Beauty, Drooped and bowed into tho dust. A Douoi.ah Democrat up a Tree.— J. W.

Dear Denier; I stopped writing you several dayssineo, supposing wo should conclude our labors and be borne ore this. But Old Hercules himself never undertook such a job as wo Douglas men lutve undertaken nnd wo aro going to stay until it is dononud well done. On a principle that vitally interests eve ry citizen, wo have undertaken with Douglas us our representative man, to heat tho South, the Adiuitiistration and tho black republicans; the world, the flesh mid the devil.

Douglas for the United States Senate. Illinois had a very poor field of choice, but the Legislature did the best they could in preferring Douglas.—Charleston ontirolv satisfactory to them, and if not that all tho- Southern States, and per-1 imps others, will go out of tho conven tion, 1 am prepared to give my consent! to thu return of our delegation io tho volition at Baltimore, et no angry controversy nriso in our party iu Georgia. Blame nono of our delegates. Lot all go back together— lot us remain political brethren, at least while we havo a formidable loo in the field. In my opinion it would bo best not to hold a Convention in our State on tho th of Juno next. I fear it will engen der strife in our party and divide our Is at a time when they should be united. There is not suilicient time for n full Convention. If a Convention is to he assembled—they arc fair men and will reflect the will of the people-—they can converse with, and represent tlio people. At all events, if any Conten tion is held, it should lie a full one.— Let all t> irticipate in it, so that no bogus delegation will bo sent to Baltimore to misrepresent the State,and give its vote at Baltimore to u man that the Democ racy of Georgia do not intend to vote for. Lot the voice of tho Democracy ho spoken in au nuthoritivc manner, so that all may hoed it. In conclusion, 1 will say that the times are full’of peril, such as to excite tho ap prehensions of every loyal son of the South; not so much as regards the Demo cratic party,or the Union, but tho rights equality and honor of the South are in danger. Our first duty is to ourselves— to guard, protect and defend our honor and equality in the Union. To do this wo must he united at homo. Thus uni ted and demanding nothing but what is right, wo will obtain it in tho Union, und tlio Union will be safe. Without uni ty of design and action, our equality in the Union, our rights nnd honor uro en dangered, tho Union imperilled, and the Democratic party defeated. There fore 1 counsel moderation. If, however, tiiis spirit should not prevail, and evil counsels control, and division in out ranks at homo must come, and au issue should bo made between the delegates who seceded from, nnd those who re mained in tlio Convention at Charleston, my mind ismiidoup. I shall act with those who demanded nothing but a re cognition of our just constitutional rights mid equality, and withdrew from the Convention, when denied and re fused that. 1 am with high respect, Your fellow citizens, JNo. w. li. UNDERWOOD, rs. Robt. Collins, and others, produced tho disruption of thoC< volition. Wo desire our readers to note particularly their lungungo, and then to ask themsolvos if they aro not just ? Can any honest man among them put his hand upon his heart and say that tho Terri tonal governments should not bo prohibited from destroying the rights of property, of whatever kina they may be, within their limits; attd that if they should attempt it tho Gov ernment of United States should not prevent and restrain them ? Wo can not seo how ho ci No, there could not ho more manifest justico and reason in tho provisions ol the two first prepositions of tho Major ity Platform. Yet our poor delegates, apprehending a "nigger in tho fence," voted against tlmt Platform, and havo thus contributed their small mites to the disruption of tlio Convention, and, we fear, defeat of tho great Democratic 1 Po’ ty of the Union. Wo call again upon our readers to I noto the first two clauses of the Plat form, ami to see what palpably just isions and principles wero here re pudiated by the Douglas faction, includ ing our own delegates. Is it not timo for tlio Democracy of tho State to repu diate such narrow-minded and mis* chievous leaders ? "A Good thing on Joe."—Joseph G.

Says Paddy to the Judge, “Yis, and ye’d ho a long timo in the Ould C'ounlrce before ye’d bo elect ed Judge." The Kutiflcution .Meeting nt Balti more. Wo desiro our Democratic readers to give u careful perusal to tho oxtraot which we take from tho Cincinnati En quirer, Mr. Douglas’ Northern orgnn.— Will the Democracy of Alabama send delegates to tho Democratic Convention at Richmond, or to tho Douglas ratification meeting in Baltimore! Read the article: The secession of tho delegates from Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, Ac., the adoption of the minority report— tho majority report for Mr. Douglas— make it a question of manhood on the part of tho friends of Senator Douglas. They cannot surrender him without nt tho same timo surrendering their man hood. Matters havo progressed too far for any compromise of either men or platform. The Raltimore Platform can be none other than a mere ratification assembled —a ratification of the platform adopted at Charleston, and a ratification of the virtual nomination of Mr. Douglas by the Convention at that place. Without that shall be done, tho whole affair will be a farce of tlio most ridiculous character. T1 wholo country will laugh nt and despi. tho proceedings of tho Baltimore Con vention of tlio 18th of June, should it yield its manhood by changing its platform or refusing to nominate Douglas.—Motngomery Ado. The Effects of Drink.—John D. Dcfrecs, writing to tho Indianapolis Journal, says: "Twenty years ago T was a looker on at the doings of Congress. Tho two men who atttracted the most attention were William Cost Johnson, of Maryland nml Thomas F. Marshall, of Kentucky, They wore tlio most brilliant orators-- tho "observed of all observers." Mr. Johnson died in Maryland ft fow days ago, a pauper nnd an outcast, unnoticed and unlamented. Tho papers, a few days ago, informed us that Marshall is the inmate of a hospital at Buffalo, diseased and miscrablo, nnd nbout to die! Intemperance of course is the cause ol all this." JBtojN-hie of tlio most distinguished o tho seccders at Charleston is said to havo exclaimed after the secession : "I feel, praise tho Lord, that I have got through eating dirt. I havo eaten my ‘peck,’ and don’t want any more." It would have been a little more croditublo to thisdistinguised gentleman wo think if lie lmd risen from tho banquet before he had gotten n surfeit.
