«. T. NEWMAN,
Exclusive Sealer in
[rockery, china,
of /ta friends that the Douglasitc* w
the Democratic party. Ho gave a deft
nition of non-intervention, and tho
history of its application in tho Utah
and Now Mexico, and Kansas bills. Hu
emptied tho vials of his wrath upon
tho hood of Stephen A. Douglas, and
defiantly asked, whore, whon and how
had ho ovor exhibited that friendship
for tho South oluiined by bis friends ?
And .vet, the Southern Democracy who
thus denounco him,attempted only four
years ago to noniinnto him as a can*
didato for tlio Presidency of tho United
States. As for his Southorn followers,
Judge Iverson bent them down to tho
ground, bleeding, mangled, lifeless
bodies, and then begged his friends to
treat them tenderly, and they would
return to tlio fold again. This was u bit
of cruel irony at which our merciful na*
turo revolted.
Ho asserted that Mr. Douglas would
I not got a single State in tho Union, ami
I tlio only and inevitable elfeet of his
running will bo to give soino of tho
.Southern Stales to Hell. And yet ho
aflerunrds, in a facetious sketch of tho
race, pictured Mr. Boll us tho hindmost
home. This inconsistency was pecu
liarly Democrat io.
I Judge Iverson occupied most of his
j time in a labore 1 argument against
' & Plated Ware Squatter Sovereignty undin favor of
Broad St.) Rome, Ga. I protection, whan, with the exception of
I*rgc supply v . j a foir Douglas men, there was no body
of all kiaa« in tho house to convlnco. Ho made
jMWsro. w?H - jjlp&MXm I ^ no attack upon Mr. Bell, but donlt out
mtty kepttg II. incidentally a few generalities about his
‘ ‘ wfwr—
Consistency.
So far ns principle Is concerned, wo
yield up tho wholo question, in support
ing John Bell,; and ?n doing it, wo sig
nify at> indifference to our constitutional
rights, which but encourages ami in
vites aggression.—Augusta Dispatch,
And yet the Di*\>atcfra short time
since warmly advocated a fusion of tho
Bell and Breckinridge parties in Geor
gia. But that was before tho Dispatch
was a Democratic paper. Now, in order
b* be true to its -party, it ftnds it neces
sary to stigmatise ns unsound every
prominent man opposed to tho Democ
racy. When tho proposition to fUso
was made, it was not yielding up the
wholo question of principle, nor did it
signify an indifference to our constitu
tional rights. Now it is quite different.
Can tlio Dispatcli tell us why ?

A Word to Whoat Grower*.
Having contemplated tho sultjoct,
more or loss for two or throo woeks
past, wo have como to tho conclusion
that it would be ndviscnblo for tlio far
mers of Cliorokeo Ga., to tnako proper
preparation ur.d sow a largo amount of
wheat during tho present Fall. Some
of the reasons on whloh \vo predicate
this beliof wo will name:
There is oveti now very littlo whoat
in this section of country, and long be
fore spring there will bo much less and
although an unusually .heavy crop has
been made in the North Western States
this year, yet tho great demand for it In
Franco ami several of the other coun
tries of Europe, togotiior with what will
ho required in tho Southern Stales, will
oxliuust that product large ns it is be*
tore another crop can bo grown,
A good crop next year would add a
good deal to the prosperity of tho fann
ers and bo of immense value to the
country.
For two years past wo hare had unfit-
ornhlo seasons boro for the production
of wheat, tho coming year will probably
bo a very fine one, for any more than
two unproductive years in succession
Imvo not boon known to exist. The
corn fields and other parcels of ground
that may bo selected for sowing down
wheat have not yielded thoprosonty
ing to the protracted draught,
ich as most other year*, and will Imvo
therefore, more of tho elements of fer
tility remaining to g.vc forth another
ear for mi abundant crop of wheat,
hich wo will so much need. Many
persons whoso ability may bo more limi
ted than is dusii-.iMe, may iierliaps lie
detered from sowing as much a* they
otherwise would do, In consequence of
the scarcity and high price of seed ill
the country. That small consideration
ought not to prevent thorn when tho
wants of tho country is so urgent and
withal tho prospects of a rich harvest so
good—than sow liberally and plow deep.
1’lenty of good seed wheat can b© pro
cured in Missouri and Illinois (and at
l,ouisvilio Ky., perhaps) at low prices
and brought lu-re in time to sow. By
repeated experiments, it is well known
in Louisiana that corn raised thoro,
from Missouri and other upper country
seed, ripens some two or throe week*
earlier tlinn from seed of Louisiana
growth. Now, if to sow semi of a more
Northern product would cnitso Or has
ten the maturity of tlio nett crop ten
or fifteen days it would ha of no little
importance to this section of t lie coun
try—throwing as it would, our wheat iti

great controversies of ’50-~54. His re
cord is thorofofo extonsivo, and, |uclg«
ing from a letter of his, recently writ
ten and published, ho refers to it with
prido, and confidently invites its in
spection. We think it will ho found,
on examination, that lie is a doelded
pro-slavery man; that hi* opinions on
the slavivy question are identical with
those professed by the Brockiuridge
Democracy, and not at all with those
which were hold by Clay and tho Whig
party. Time, lie Is not nn agitator of
Unit question, and that is tlio solo dif
ference in tlio premises between him
and the .Southern Democracy. Neither
doc* ho countenance disunion, nor
treason of any kind. His policy i* to
protect and extend slavery withing tho
Union, without contemplating the al
ternative of secession in tlio event of
that policy being frustrated.
The protection ami extension of slav
ery within tno Union is the platform on
which John Bell’s record establishes
him. ^ In tho gieat debate on the com
promise measures of 1850, ho argued
flint slavery is right In Itself ami bene-
ficient in its operation and result*; that
the [lowers and resources of tbc Con
federacy would not bo half wlmt tlioy
uro, except for slave labor ; and that
tho institution is in harmony with the
laws of naturo, and has prevailed in all
ages and oounties. This is nutfioiontly
explicit. Indeed the foroe of languagi
can no farther go in panegyrising tm
institution. But we have also an em
phatic avowal of the Calhoun theory,
(now the espooiality of the Southern or
Brookinridge Democracy) on tho “Con
stitutional rights’’ of slavery in the Ter
ritories. In tho same speech Mr. Bell
affirms that the *soundnesn’ of the doc
trine that tho Constitution carries slave
ry proprio viyore into tlio Territories ;
that the Hag of tlio Union protects the
citixcn in tho epjhymont of hi* right*
of property of every description, rrcoynU
eda* such in any of the. States, on every sen
and in ©very Territory of the ‘Union, ‘
cannot be successfully impeached.
The next extract wo cut. from the
Middleton (Conn.) (hnstitufion, of Sept.
10th—a Flack.Republican paper, which
comes to iis with tlio names of Lincoln
and Hamlin flyingnt its mast-head:
John Bki.i..—Wo have before* stated
explicitly that John Boll’s opinion on
tlio |imror and duty of Congress to pro
tect slavery in the Territories were the
same with those of Mr. Breckinridge.—
Tho Louisville Journal, one of tlio most
intluemial journals in the country in
tlio intercut of Mr. Bell, now freely
makes the same assertion. Tho Journ
al say*:
“We do not by any means olgcct to
Mr. Breckinridge that ho is in favor of
tlio doctrine of intervention (for tho
protection of slavery in tho Territories,)
for John Beilis in favor of that doctrine,
and we ourselves are in favor of it.”
This is certainly explicit enough.—
After such n plain avowal from so fntlu-
entinl a journal, tliorc can ho no doubt
in the mind of any candid man that
John Boll not only his opinions, but
that hi* opinion* on the great question
of the day are the same with those of
Mr. Breckinridge.

Woolrich Arsenal, ns a smith, at weekly
wage*. My friend of the Independence
Beige, in an almost textual translation
of tho whole letter whioh contained
this paragraph, heightens the interest
of this statement about tho grniuUnn of
Lord Byron, by adding—“His pay, is 30
shillings a week ; I hnvo seen him nt
ivork in the shop with a* much plunk
and industry as any of his mates. Be

I need hardly say that this is pyre
invention on the part of my inddfntigm
ble translator, correspondent of the In-
dependenco. Thoro is no “young and
pretty girl of tlio lower orders” in tho
nft’air at all. The young nobleman in
