Out Proposition.
So far as wo Lave been able to dis
cover, there 1ms been, no dlft|>ositicm
manifested by tire Constitutional Dem :
ocracy to accede to our proposition of
a Union of all the elements opposed to
Squatter Sovereignty and itfc Mends.—
If they intend to rqjoct It, so be it.- Let
the sin llo nt their..door. Wo hnvo
aoted in good faith, meaning what we
said and uincoroly desiring Its success
ful accomplishment. Had we consult*
od mol'd party ad vantage*, wo would
have pursued a different policy. But
love of prineipb* controlled us, and a
hope that othors wero actputtkl by the
sumo motive. Perhaps wo wore mista
ken, and wo have no reason to believe
wo were not. If there U not sufficient
patriotism in Georgia to cast off party
thraldom, and unite the ' people in de
fence of right, then wo despair of over
soeing tills government wrested from
the hands- of intriguing demagogues
and corrupt spoilsmen, who have taken
possession of it to advanco thoir am
bitious schemes and elevate themselves
nt tiie cost or tho people's degradation
and our country’s dishonor.
Wo honestly bellbve such a Union ns
we desire could bo effeoted, at tho sac-
rifico of nothing but party prejudices,
und wo yet stand ready to abido by
fair and houorablo arrangement should
it be made. But should wo he disap
pointed our duty is plain, und our reso
lution is fixed.
Wo lmve not boon able to perceive
tho force of tho reasoning used by those
;ho have endeavored to convince us
liut we should unconditionally go
to tho support.of Mr. Brcokenridgo.—
No far as principles are concerned, al
though wo fully and cordlnlly agree,yet
they aro, by tho right of discovery, our
principles. Wo have been advocating
them lor years, while wo can prove that
has not boon vary long since every
prominent Domocrat, with very fo 1
exceptions, stood side by side with
Douglas. In numbers wo have di
ly the advantage, for after tho Douglas-
itos have been deducted from the Dem
ocratic vote in tho Ntutc, it will leuvo ua
in u majority over tho Brcokenridgo
party. Between our candidates tiici 4 s
no comparison. For oven if wo admit
that Mr. Breckenridgo is as ublo and as
pure a man ns Mr. Ball, his position
upon tho slavery question is far from
unexceptionable, while Mr. Boll’s Toroid
proves him to lmve always been tho de
fender of the doctrine for which we all
nrtw contend, and to which Mr. Brock-
•nrldgo is but a recent convert.
Ho far then from exchanging our can
didate for theirs, we are in a position to
demand, In tho name pf truth and jus
tice, that this should bo done by tliqtn.
But ‘this wo know would bo utterly in
niti, and have not therefore .wasted pa
per and ink in tho. Undertaking. Wo
havo liowever offered to make n conces
sion, und asked tho Constitutional. De
lude! uoy to do what would bo no conces
sion on their part—to meet us huff
way.
Ho furas any advantage to our party
was concerned, policy dictated a differ
ent- course; but wo woro willing to dis
regard it for tho sake of principles.—
We desired to sco tho abominable and
dangerous heresy of Squatter Sovereign
ty exterminated in the South, aud all
the heretics burnt at the political stake.
Wo havo pointed out the proper course.
lf.it bo not followed, we leave those who
•ofUsod to co-operate with usjike Lady
Macbeth, to strive in vain to wash’ put
tho spots upon their hands. Ours are

Celebration of the Fourth.
Ou Inst'Wednesday the eighty-fourth
anniversary of tho Declaration of Amer
ican Independence was commemorated
throughout the length and breadth of
this groat Confederacy*, but np where
with more interesting nnd befitting cor-
omoqiQs, >vitli greater military enthusi
asm, more genuine patriotism and uni
versal enjoymont than in our own beau
tiful mountain city.
At daybreak the booming cannon-
awoke our citixdns to the memdry of
tho dawn of our freedom, nnd nt eight
o'clock tho "bugle call” aud soul "stir,
ring fifo" callecj together tho "Floyd
Cavnlry ,, and "Home Light Guards" in
full uniform to perforip the military ev
olutions Usual on such occasions. To
say that tho former corps, under com-
timndof Capt. W. S. Cothran, won
fresh laurels, would bo superfluous to
those who witnessed tlie most interest
ing ceremony of the day.
At 9 o’clock both compnnios wero
drawn up in front of thoChoico House
when Hon. A. 11. Wright advanced, and
in the dftmo of tho matrons of Floyd
county presonted a beautiful Banner to
the Cavalry, which - was reoJoved. by
Capt. Cothran and placed under the
charge of Ensign B. F. Jones. Each of
these gentlemen made appropriate re
marks suitable to tho circumstances nnd
thoir several relations to tho ceremony.
Wowerounahlo to hear them owing
to the fact that we wore just then ex
hibiting to tho world, ns we thought,
tho highost degree of patriotism 1 and
military discipline,by maintaining, with
soldierlike subordination nnd forlitudec
our post In the ranks of the Light
Guards beneath the scorohlng sun. But
afterwnrds ascertained that the
[lion met with universal npprobu-
'lie Banner, made by Messrs.
& Lorenzen, of Clinrleston, was
of blue silk, with silver mountings and
rimmed with silver fringe. On one
ide a mounted horseman with drawn
sword was represented, and arched above
him tho words, t% Dueit armor patriaeon
tiie other the coat of arms of the State,
and over it tho translation of tiie motto*.
■The love of my country leads mo on."
The design and execution reflect much
credit on the originators and manufac
turers.
Un this day the Light Guards, under
command of Capt, E. J. Magruder, ap
peared upon jmrqdo for tho first time.—
Tho encomiums parsed upon their np-
ponrunen and drill were highly flatter
ing to a corps so recently organized.—
Their uniform is the Ramo ns that of
the 7th Regiment of Now York und is
very hundsomo. They too were to have
been honored by tiie presentation of a
banner from the young Indies of KJoyd
anility, but owing to soma unaccounta
ble delay it did not arrive.
The sumo spirit of patriotism which
animated tho bosoms of the women of
aneimt Uonie^nnd leal them to present
their frail forms us the protecting shields
of tho eternal city nnd save it from Jho
lain doom threatened^' tho exiled
and revengeful Coriplnfms at tlio head
of hUVohiQhm army,-* lives in this ago,
in this country, in Modern Rome. Aud

nnd Rome Light Guards, in defenco of
tlio lives, the peace aud the sacred hop.
or of her fail* daughters, where those
Banners lend, the:e they will go, und
there tho’battle will bo nobly fought,
and. there the victory surely wot*, or not
a man return to tell how gloriously the
tixo others fell.
At 10o'clock tho two companies to-
Gregory at the Choice House was in
Unis6n with the ccurrences of the day.
Tho koeneat nppotito rejoiced at the
profusion, and tho most fastidious at
tho variety. The table was woll arrang
ed and handsomely ornamented. . Eve
ry one manifested their admiration by
word and deed.
Thus closed ■ a tnemarablo. day in
Rome. Wore wo to observe the custom

Hum nt Last.
For several days previous to Tiiursday
the weather had boon not only warm*
but very warm. The thermometer, with
a cbhsistency worthy of a lire ontor’s em
ulation, maintained tho high .Southern
ground of 97°. We make sonic preten
sions to boing well versed in the subject
of tho weather, but we could not do jus-
tlco to such as we have bad this wobk,
particularly on tlio "Glorious Fourth.'-
On Thursday we wero visited by a
welcome - rain, which seomod to extend
for a con'dderablo distance in almost ev
ery direction. Tho dust was settled, tlio
atmosphere cooled, and the suffering
crops revived and saved from being
burned up. Every one was fully pre
pared to appreciate tlio Mossing when It
oame, and bo thankful for it.

Hon. A. IT. Stbi’ukns.—It is current
ly reported hero, upon authority which
wo consider sufficiently direct and reli
ablo to place entire confideneeiu it, that
Hon. A. II. Stephens has deolnred Ids
intention to support Brcokenridgo and
Lano. Should ho take this position
publicly, it would seem that one time
Little Alcok did pot lead Bob_ Toombs.
But after all the implied assurances ho
lms given that lie would support Mr,
Douglas, we cannot understand how'ho
can do otherwise, more especlnily as
Gov. Johnson is the .nominee for tho
Vice Presidency on the same ticket.—
Should lie leave this last named gentle
man in ids present dilemma, we fcor
'the-reproach of Punic faith will rest
upon his fair name."
Hot Weather.—rWe have lmd an un
precedented spell of hot weather during
tho past week. In somo places tho crops

This provision was suggested by Mr.
Colfux, 'of Indiana, Chairman of the
Ifast Office Comnilttoe of tho House.
Polk County Meeting.—Wo loam
that a mooting of tho Constitutional
Union Party of Polk county was held
on last Tuesday, lit which tho noinina-
lions of Bell - and Everett w.oro ratified
and delegates appointed to tho State
Convention to bo Called by the Execu
tive Conimitteo.
Squat tor Sovereignty
Proviso, n» thoso two horesios are repve-
wuited In tiie persons of Douglas und
Lincoln.- To defeat both should bo an
objeotheld in common by all patriotic
citizons. And now, shall it bo done?
For ourselves, wo ore entirely satisfied
with Mr. 4 Bell, tto U a groat aiid pure
man, n fearless and oxperionced states
man, and perfectly true to tho South
and the Constitution. Wo bolievo that
all good men ol'ovory party name,should
ifte upon him to overthrow the'ene
mies of tho country and restore penco to
our distractod Union. There are others,
though, who agree with Us iu tlio end to.
bo.attained, .but differ as regards tlio
men best calculated to accomplish tho
groat work of delivornneo and liberty \
und upon no other ground than this, wo
uro widu asunder ns the poles, and ar
rayed-under mutually hostilo banners.
Now* this should not bo so. We ted
that it is all wrong—a most injurious and
unnatural war. We confess that wo have
hut little llonrt for suoli a tight;
iWliat, then, can be done to end this
antagonism and unito theso two great
armies of tlio Constitution? Out differ
ences aro al>Qut men, and to eitect a
union we must compromise otf tho can
didates. And how in this to be dono
with ovcn-hund^d justice to all, mid
without a sacrifice of nrinciple or pflda
by cither party? A plan ocourred to ua
months ego and we then gave it to our
renders; wo renew it now and coiniuoiid
it to tlio serious nnd honest considera
tion of patriotic and sctisiblomon every
where.
Our plan is this: Lot Breokenrldge
and Lime both withdraw from tho con
test: lot Mr. Bell do the. same thing,
leaving Edward Everett, tho purest and
best man of hi* day and gonoration, tho
conipromiso candidate Tor tlio Vieo-
Presulonoy. Then lot* Southern Doin-
ourat head tho ticket. Wo know hut
one who,in all rospects.avaiUbillty inclu
ded, is fitted for tho post, und Dint is
Uon. James U. Hammond, of Houtli Car
olina.
Hero is tho compromise,arid,th© tick
et that will win tiie fluid against all
odds. And, now, what will tlio people
sny to it? We do not ask for tho opin
ions of mere politicians. Wo commend
it to tho sober judgments aqd patriotic
instincts of good and true men every
where. If tlio suggestion is right, it
should bo adopted, without regard to
any of the complications of tho present
duy. Tim Union Convention, when they
met at Baltimore, should liuve nomina
ted (this ticket, and there would have
been an end to nil past and present
troubles. Nobody could luivo selected
abler or purer men than they did, but
they blundered in their policy by taking
tico Old Lino Whigs for their leadnrs.
Georgia is the Empire .State of the
South in politics as well os everything
else. Why may she not lead off in this
movement for victory over tho common
enemies of thodouth and the Constitu
tion? Lot tho Bell and Breokonridgo
men throughout the Slate think of our
suggestion and then nut upon it—ull to
other, and in tho spirit of brethren and
riends. No nomination, has yet been
made that is binding upon tlie peoploof
any party, mid never ware tluyr truer to

tlio Orator of the day, Private R. T. Fou-
ehe of tiie Cavalry.
He disclaimed any attempt'to enter in

that there was any Union; and conten
ded that the government had failed iii

Indopenderice. llo told the story
of oqr wrongs in an honest and forcible
stylo that made our breasto toswoll with
patriotic indignation and our hands to
seize nwr muskets with a tighter grasp.
While Mr. Fouclio makes no preten

the firMt requisite of eloquence; lie feels

feel. The strict attention und frequent
applause of tlio audience wero evidence

The telegraphic abstract of the Euro-
pa's news published yosterduy morning,
contained u mero mention of ^tt»o death
of George Payho Haiusford James, tlio
most voluminous novelist, of the -pres
ent oontury. Indeed, considering tlio
length to which his narratives wero
strung out, it is not probable that the
writings of Lopo do Vaga, only ono-
quartor of whiefrare embraced in forty-
six quarto volumes, would fill os iiiuny
volumes in equal size typo as Mr,
Jaiues’. eighty or nioro novels and a
score of histories und miscellaneous
productions.
Mr. James was born in London in
1801, und at the ago of fifteen went* to
Fiance, where he passed several years,
and laid tlio foundations of that
knowledge of French history which bus
furnished him tlio material of many of
his most interesting plots. He com
menced writing while still a more boy,
anti, it is pleasing to recollect, was eu
couragod in his literary lujors by Wash
ington living. His first production,
untitled "A Life of Edward tho Black
Prince," was published when lie; was
twenty-ono years old. "Tho String of
Pearls," a colleotiori of oriental talus,
though they, did not appear.-until 1832
were written wlioii their author*Jmd
Hot completed his eighteenth year.—
"Riohoiiou," which was published in
1820, lour years after it was written, w*s
his first novel. It was quite successful,
und was speedily followed by “Darn-
ley," "Do L’Ormo," "The Ancient
Regime," and many others witli whose
name the public is perfectly familiar.—
Since that time scarcely a year has
passed in which at least one romance
from tho indefatigable writor was not
urmounebd. It is said that ho employ
ed an amanuensis, to whom he diotated
with ustonisliing rapidity.
Mr. James catue to this country about
ion years since, and was soon after ap
pointed British Consul nt Norfolk, Yu.,
where ho remained until transferred by
his Government to a siniihit* position at
Venico. When he first arrived in the
United States, he took up his abode in
Western Massaoliusetis, with tho avow
ed itttcntion of remaining there per
manently, hut Ids official preferments
se«m to havo changed hi* mind.
