Wo will not counsel tho democracy ns to tho most suita ble man to ho placed in tho lead. Tho District has many democrats worthy tho highest position in tho D«>mocrfttic ranks. The present incumbent, tho lion. Martin .1. Crawford, bore a conspicuous part in the list Congress, and proved himself an able, safe and reliable Representative.

Brown, of Cherogeo; Howell Cobb, of Ath ens, and John II. Lumpkin, of tho - Regency." This rumor Inis grown from th* dimensions of a tnuro speck in tho political horizon, into t dark and portentous curtain, that now hangs as a pall over the vestals of the commsnwoalth. At first tho rumored bargain and tal wan treated as a jost, but soon began to wear tho aspect of seriousness, as development af ter developcmcnt hasbeen unfolded. Thcrmu- - picion was aroused, enquiries made, investi gation had, and things gonerslly changed Facts after facts havu been elicited, certain movements noted, all combined, in cot • junction with individual proof, conspire to prove that n most outrageous swindle,bargain and salo has been entered into, signod,seal ed, witnessed, executed and delivered. It is well known to the people of Georgia, that tho nomination of Joseph E. llrown. |. r Governor of tho .State, was as unexpected to him, as it was deprocaiing to the position for which ho was nominated and elevated. The strongest contestant for tho nomination at th it lime, was thought to bo lion. John H. Lumpkin, of Rome. His defeat before tho convention was as unexpected to his friends, as it was humilating under the cir cumstances to himsolf. Mortified, disap pointed, thwarted and chagrined, he draw tho dagger of eternal hostility and threw avvay tho scabbard. For sometime ho revel ed in tho imaginary blood of his victim, but soon ho hoenmo satiated, and betook hinisrlt to his farm beyond the limits of tho tStatu, upon tho limpid banks of the Tennessee, thnro to puthuo tho bent ol his inclinations, brood over In* misfortunes, nnd recruit an enf rhUd body, worn, wearied, and fatigued by lung nnd arduous services to his country. Hu lisallh nnd wasted cnorgits were scon reclaimed. Occasionally ho would cross tin* line, and from the heights of the Oostanau- la, survey tlui horizon. Ilia observations were generally Eastward, with a thought for tho future. Around Ins majestic form,wci'- groupi d a Hinull hand ot faithful friends, who, like their chief, were smarting from tho keen edgo of tho guillotine.

Gov. Orown feared it, and with good rea son. To conciliate, was the whits, cloud by day, and the pillow of firo by night, with lit* Excellency. Away oil* in Washington City, was a Mr. H.

A sort of invisible telegraph linn being kept tip between them. Governor llrown sent a dispatch to Mr. II.

A council was colled, nml it wtu resolved to accept Mr. Gobb’a proposition, with certain specifications and provisos. These were, that the chief, Lump kin ulmuld, from liia position, lm allowed ot least three string i to his bow in such n trade. The firnt was, he, John 11.

Mr. 'J. Y. Johnson, formrr agent at Kings ton, was next consulted by Lumpkin as to what would silence hiu opposition to Gov. L'rown. He, Johnson, was | roaisod tho agency at Kingston, and, should he prefer it, a route agency on tho iltute RioJ. To all of which Mr. Johnson indignantly refused, am! denounced the proffering donor of the ‘•Regency."
