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.

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 should the necessity/ which wo ’ depre cate,'over cull forth tho Floyd Cavalry 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.

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. uiuirus ui we after' Mpeefehos tion.f Th LauXnu A 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 suffering for want of rain. On the 1st inBt., in Romo, rain fell to the atnoqut of 35-100 inch, and ou the 5th 45-100 inch. The following table, prepared by Mr R. S.

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.

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.
