At seventeen be was apprenticed at cbojtfering, ari?l his'remarka- ble growth commenced. • It is’atatcd: that the most he ever grew in one-week* was one inch. JU was hi£ habit, while growing, to measure every flatufday night, and his own testimony, and that of Lis family and friends, is evidence of this remarkable fact. Mr. Porter soon got «o tall that’jt was in {possible to cooper barrels, and he was employed .om hogs heads. This however became equally, impossible, .owing to-his remarkable height, and he vas com pelled to abandon the business. He then* engaged; in keeping and driving hacks.'

The Editor complain^ thatoiir Senator “was nob moro distinct than Gen. Bonham and other Southern representatives h'ayc been.” • Here wc agree precisely. We think bo^i of them and many otliers £ave been distinct enough, ^’e, -with o.ur' dull comprehension, without the aid of any great light close by,, understand them; and must think the Aefrwliacr "docs 1qo», but “there none stf blind as those who wont see.” We giye Gen.

The conclusion is, we have no evils to complain oT; we are stronger than ever on Ihe slavery question, and will continue to gro'w stronger. The remedy of, course is submission to tmr'glorious and happy destiny. One John C. Calhoun that used to represeq^ South Carolina tol erably well, thqught differently.

And moreover, trn have thought it almost necessary that our Gov ernor should be connected with,.or some. way. allied to certain of ont ancient j&eorgla families, .who have from time immemorial held Important plqoes of pub lic trust. T ho Convention of 1857 ignored ail these ancient usages, and nominated Got. -Brown. He. had hot been to Congress > he had not been “trotted out”*try:tho party’toilers; tie was tho architect of his ewq. fhrluncs jinaided by m,oney or famBy in fluence ; he was a young nfon, modest, and unassum ing ; ..the places he had held were jfew; he had been a member of tho Legislature—a Presidential Elector, and was then Judge of tho Blue Ridge Circuit. But overdheffewdhings he h ft d had, he had been found faithful. In‘his public -and private career he had exhibited soundrpr&qtical sense, sustained by strict- morals," t^nflinching integrity and unvatbisbed firm ness—all together amounting to administrative t-al r Ofit of tho highest order. r TheSp qualifications were duly appreciated by his party and hy was .elected, but nevertheless there was always a protest under stood from* many who shook their heads at this de parture from the beaten truck. However, nothing could with; propriety * bo said on done—they must look tp his administration. As soon as inaugurated he found himself embar rassed with two .questions of the deepest interest. The first was the management of the State Road. Georgia.had five -or. six millions'invested in that enterprise, nearly all raised from taxation,. It had paid littjo. or • nothing into the Treasury. It was denounced as a mere political machine. • People of all parties were more.or lcs3 dissatisfied, and a large ipfinenfie were openly .in favor of,it%sa!e or. lease. Gov. Rrown found ii officered by ablo and influen t»l men—mostly from his o'wmsoction of the State. They wore powerful as friends, and equally to be dreaded as enemies. He soon resolved io.put forth al\ hi s energies to test the value of that expensive property.- In carrying out his plans he-believed it nccessapy to make a new begining. andLto put men there w ho had no old plans and notions to be wean ed from, and in coming to this conclusion, he did not intend to reflect cithe^.'oa the ability or integri ty .of the incumbents. The execution of his plan created with all suck and their friends, strong op position. 'It could not bc-expected that they would be entirely silent, and in various shapes their influ ence has been- manifested. But it is impossible to get tlio people of the State to take-part in sucb*an issue. They cannot possibly understand every man’s private griefs and ’de&ide upon them. They must yield to the greater importance of the public inter est. Here, then, was a source from -which opposi tion tS Gov.

This, can easily be answered. It has been proven that he did not originate it: but if he ha<f suggested it, and' lie was warranted by tho facts, he was Only faith-' fully discharging a public duty. If the investiga tion exposed persons, it was their fault or misfor tune, and not tho Governor’s. Such persons were in the wrong, and ought to make terms instead of making war. - It certainly could not injure any who were innocent joftiro divers public charges made the stuffip And in the press.' We have no idea .that ia any thing the Governor did touching that inves tigation thqt he. was actuated by personal hostility Fred H. W.cfst; Esqi, then offered tiro# following preamble, and resolutions, which were-unanimously adopted: ,* .* . . •-• Thn signs of the timdS ipdieate that we aro rapidly approaching an eventful period in tfie History of the American Union. A few years ago .societies were organised in the nou-Slaveholding States devoted to thqanniiation-of Slavery, and many schemes were devised by fhem to unsettle the foundations of the 4 institutions of the'South and'to disturb its domeqfic tranquility.' These Societies, insignificant at first, have-propagated their fanaticism, entered .the polit- icai.arcna, and canied their' abolitionism, into the hall a of- Congress.' . Against this fanaticism and itf designs the South has protested—lias appealed to the. conservative'people of the worfh.to-crush qjjt tho dangerous and disorganizing heresy,- but U has gradually grown under the- fostering care of -more po-rrcVful political parties till now the .spirit of die-* cord ralps.tko hour, find the Black Republican party is triumphant in sixteen. States of the Union. Aggression after aggression- has been made upon tlio rights, thp liberties and the honpi* of the South, and at eaclr successive’ step its resentment has been lulled with tlm syren song of peace and £nality\to the agitation of the question of Slavery. But the agitation scarcely abated, long enotigh for Southern resent ment to be calmed by the' dulcet lullaby, before it was ^pccessively renewed with new schemes.'of wrong and outrage.' The.histOTj of this* agitation demonstrates tii.n folly, of the South in indulging hopes of repose TOtained by conces’sien—by cpm- prorilise^-by acquiescence in wrong. . ^ • The devotion of the. South to the Unlbn aifd the constitution is sufficiently attested by her past his-, tory. It has endured much, and made many sacri- fices.of Interest and of feeling to preserve and per petuate them. It has asked only its rights and its equality in the Union.. Thbse arc denied and the Union is being perverted into an instrument of -op pression to ^its* people.* The- South, in justice to itself, can sacrifice no more for its preservation.— Yet a crisis'is approaching in tfhich all that is da-, crcd and dear to the. Southern heart, will be invol ved. Tho leaders of the Black Republican party defiantly proclaim that the issue is between Free and Slaye labor, one of which must yield. And controlling, as tha^party now does by overwhelming majorities, a sufficient .number of States to carry the next'Presidential electidff, the apprehension of its successdn 1860 is well grounded. Being in power, can the South Jiopc for security in Its clemency when through all its past history there is not a soli tary exhibition of that cotnufehdafele virtu©? The South should not • permif the Presidency of the United* Staitos with its immense patronage and powex*, controlling the army," the navy, ohd.in a great measure'the Treasury of the Government, to pass into the .possession of a Black Republican. To do so would be to permit Northern fanaticism with all its dangerous and disorganizingpolitical.heresies, to be invested witlaall the powers of the Federal Governmefit, to oppress {lie South and .to crush every resistance to its wild and fanatical schemas for. the disturbance of our domestic repose and the destruction of the institution of Slavery, interwoven as U is, into the whole frfime-work of our social astern.

Expe .riJnce has shewn 4.hat he. was right in maintaining that there was no necessity fop the-suspension, fact. at a necess ;ty t that the Banks wero able by making tile pVdpersacrifices like individuals, to redeem their bills. The Bank influence of the State is strong, and entered into every interest and class of the community. It was irrilatiflg in the extreme to have their schemes interfered with by the Governor ; it vras still more so for him, a plain mountain boy to investigate and expose tho unsoundness of our present Banking system. This, he also did as a public duty, and if it militated against private in terest, it was not his fault. ' What thou could reason ably be expected but loud complaints fronf this in fluence, in all its ramifications t - ^ ' . The masses sustained the Governor with groat, uniniwity. At the last session, composed of the same members that voted‘down his veto,’ there was an overwhelming majority with tho Governor on his Bank policy. • - There were also other, sources of disoontent.* The Legislature had become too' liberal in commjfl-ing punishments—in making men of boya-^-in relieving thef guilty parties to divorces—in ^granting bpefi charters, and ia class legislation generally, either unconstitutional or so, clearly absurd that, they de served the veto. The Governor perceived these wrongs and determined to apply the remedy. In this'way many persons were disappointed, and too selfish to Charge their failure* to tho supremacy of correct principles, thcy bocamo enemies of tiro Gov ernor for diecharging his duty. <; r ‘This if is, wo necessarily had all these elements' of opposition combined, and’Until man can change his nature we .will always have them -when the oc-. casion arises; - Suppose tiro Governor had acted, dif ferent ly.
