To-day (To-day Otb) ,• Ibe time for the ViMtiof at LeGrengs to consider the railrpa J connection between tbet town end Colum- t u# , Kio doubt, statistic* and eatiraates wilt then bo presented, end reports made of the progress of subscription*, upon which we .can bare a pretty correct opinion a* to tbo fete of ihe enterprise. We ere glad to learn that the prospects so far continue encour aging, and thet our friends above still have their shoulders to the f heel end are pre- paring for a vigorous effort to start the work. We learn from the LaGrange Reporter, that Mr. Docolas, the engineer who hae sur veyed one of the proposed routes, cati/natee the coat by that route betwifen I,arrange and Columbus at $725,000— a sum Uval can certainly be raised in a Notion at rich as that interested in the road. The same paper esysi “We have been shown a letter from Mr. Robert Douglas, engineer, to Mr. Jesse £!cl,endon, making a statement of the probable profits of the reed, lie estimates the amount uf business that will be done by the new road about $1.10,000, without taking into calculation the way butlue.it at Troup Factory or Hamilton and the chaucea for the good* business of Cirtafnbua, best lea the Mail servirs snd Express business, which would amount to about $300 per mile. No calculation is made for the business coming from bsyond Columbus on tfio Mobile and Girard Road." The MicelIon for Governor* Hit ALL W* JlAVr A PARTY CONTEST f In another column we copy fiom the Macon Messenger a very sensible and patriotic letter written by Msj. Marx A- Council, in answer to a suggestion that be should be candidate for Governor. It will be seen that he modestly declines the honor, and assigns very creditable motives for so doing. Heveral wesks ago we raceived /rom an esteemed rqsroapondent a communication nominating a lending snd talented gentle man of the* city as a candidate for the tame station. We did not publish it, bscause we frit satisfied that the movement would have been discouraged by the gentleman named, and perhaps our publication of it would havo led to hi* premature refusal to pec mil his name to bo used at tbo present stsgo of tho canvass, when possibly it might have had a distracting effect. Our view of lha present state of tin Gubernatorial question i» just thisi It ha* no Isgitimats or sensible connection with Federal politics. There ore in the Hut© thousands of opponents of the National Aifumiisliatinn, who approve of Governor re-election if they were not rrpu'sed by lbs revival of old party estrangements. And on Ihe other bond there era fully as many Ucfuoerala who disapprove the Governor*) ’•polity" and ardently daairo an opportunity to oppose him. It is, os we havo heretofore velu, with a view of binding this latter taction, as Drmocrals, to the support uf party nominee, that iho especial friends of 'dtiv. Brown hove acquiesced in the call for an exclusive Democratic Convention. Hut tbo proceeding* at Atlanta and other indica tions muel satisfy them that they underrated ti e strength and determination of the anti- Drown Democracy. It is now apparent that the anti-Uro>vn faction will have strength ill the Couvaniion, and it is avowed by some of them that they will not aupport Gov. Drown lor ra-eleclion even aftar his notni nation as an exclusive Democratic candidate. This being the unpromising arpectof affairs, jve have yet fu>jie that the Democracy, wl.i assembled ill Convention, will foiego their purpose of organising a party contest, will forbear to adopt a party platform or make party nomination, and submit to the people, without icspeol of parly end without appeals to party, an issue of Slate policy alone. By this course only can they hope to secure American votes for Gov. Drown, and sincere attachment to him and his "policy’ 1 ought to influence them in adopting it. But, whether Iho Democracy in Convention pursue this course or not, wo think it untviso policy for the Opposition party of iho Stato to move part passu with tbo exclusive nomocracy iu tho matter of getting up another parly contest. Dot Us be able to show Inconlrstibly to the people of tho State that we are forced to revive a National party issue and prejudices by the course of tho Democracy. By so doing, we shall havo no difficulty in satisfying every American and Whig that he can not coneisteully and properly support Gov, Brown with a Demo cratic nomination. It will ho time enough, after tha Democracy havo mado their decision, to respond to tbo issue which they play lander; snd wo shall then havo a better Understanding of our resources, prospects and ptobable aids. It is lir.rdly tiscossary, wo suppose, for ui to add iu eobclusion, that wo are predeter mined to opposo any party nomination that the Democracy may make, and to act with our Opposition friends in any organization they msy form. fW* Mrni», of ihe Oolaaibus Ahas been ■I ally In# dloltouary. In speaking of ">• Democracy at Atlanta, he calls " Comparative Extravagance. By referring to page 311 of tho Treasury Report, it will be found that die expenditures ot 1652 were$46,712,MW. Mr.Fillmore waa (ben President, and the Opposition had enlire control of theTre. sury and Govern ment. "Wow for tho Democratic extravagance : According to an ogieial ntatement the definite appropriations juai made tor li W-’60amount lo $41,123,604. Tho indefinite appropria tions are estimated not to exceed $1,500,000 —which would oweli the entire sum to $42,723,804. Which deducted Irom the appropriations made in 1652 by an Opposi tion Administration as above, leaves the enug little eum of $3,988,604 in favor of the Democratic party. Ho much for Democratic extravagance and misrule." We find the above in the Times of this city, of the 30th ult. We feel quite sure, however, that our more candid neighbor has been misled in this matter by less scrupulous Democratic papers, snd has not sufficiently examined, for itaelf, the fscls of the case. •L.it ue briefly expoae its sophistry snd unfairness. The expenditures of Mr. Fillmore’s Administration are reported in full, embra cing the usaal Fostoffice appropriation. But the abovo statement xif appropriations just made for Mr. Buchauiui'e next year, the Posto/f.ce appropriation Is wholly omitted, because the hill providing for it failed. We can not now stale tha precise amount of this appropriation for 18021 hut the Post- office bill providing for the nest year of Mr. Buchanan’s Administration appropri ated for this purpose some $20,400,000. This, of course, must he added to any fair statement of appropriations fir the next fiscal year, for ibe money will bo tpent though the appropriation failed. 'The Ad ministration has already avowed its purpose to gfve contractors and others certificates of indt-biedncsa by the Government am! to cal! .upon tho next Congress lo pay them. Adding this inevitabio expenditure lo Mr. Buchanan's next (Weal year, wo have the largo sum of $03,123,804—a sum very greatly exceeding Mr. Fillmore's account of 1853. It atiould not he forgotten, loo, that the lato Congress cut dawn Ihe Executive estimates for the next yea* some six or seven mil'iona of dollars besidrs the failure to provide for the roatoflico Department. Add IbW rejected Item to tho amount granted, snd tvo have about $70,000,000 which Mr. Buchanan demanded of the last Congress to enublo him to carry on the Government. This, too, after As had in 1852 denounced Mr. Fillmore's expenditure of $10,712,000 as wasteful extravagance! But there it another thing to bo cmt-idcred. Tho actual expenditures of Mr. Fillmore's year are stated—tlioso provnl. J fitr by deficiency bills as well as thoso appropriated beforehand by tho regular bills. Who knows tho extent of tho deficiencies to bo hcrraflei nut for Mr. Buchanan! He has assumed upon himself the right to bind Congress fur his promissory (criificsles of indebtedness—-an expedient Mr. Fillmore conducting tho Government nri tho credit system (and wn hopo tha old lino Democ racy of lha country will bear in mind Gen. Jackson's saying that thoso who live on credit ought to break), wo ahull not know how much ho expends for tho next year until he presents Cougross with tha account to fool. In this way he hound the Govern ment last year to tho payment of jmmenso transportation accounts fur the Utah an y at the rate of $50 per oils hundred pounds, and wo cun not ovon imagine tho extrava gance that Congress may next winter bo culled on to legalise. Tho expenses of Mr. Buchnnun’s next fiscal year, therefore, nro yet to he ascertained. This year ho has spent some $80,000,000! i "bifurcation of ths liaiinoitlou.-."—.tufuMit Jhisputch.

He will there see exhibited our idea of Ibe preaont condition of the Democratic party; and if he will follow out the celestial phenomenon, ho will soon gel an idsa of the end of that parly.

No, the box neither cribbed nor “crabbed” ue; but it te certain that in a State where pereimmona constitute the “staff of life 1 roed Irom Opelika to LaFayelte; a rouph of short, pointed resolutions were adopted, pledging the meeting to use every means in its power to build the road ; a committee w.is appointed to solicit subscriptions; and it is understood that a subscription sufficient to authorize the organization of the com pany, under a charter heretofore obtained, has already been made. This looks like earnest action, and augura success. But if wo correctly understand the facts of the case, all the practical step* yet taken have reference only to the building of ihe road to LaFiyelb’, What Columbus o*t deeply interested in is the earning of tiie road beyond that point, and it was a conflict of the claim# of this proposed extension end of the Dadevijle route lo the Selma ai ii Tennessee road that elicited the discussion at ihr Opelika Convention and caused tho adjournment of the whole ques tion to the 4th Saturday in April, when fuller statistics of tho two routes can be presented and their respective claims more intelligently considered. This being the present slate of the question, it would be prematura in ua to form or express a preference for either route advance of tho forthcoming reports. We may say, however, that our impression is the Ded« villa route offers a chance for the ■honest connection (by a few miles) with the Selma road; but that the country inter mediate between Opelika and the proposed northern termini of the two roads (say Tal ladega find Oxford) is probably richer in agricultural product', along the lower portion is throe times whites, W# have seen the above little paragraph in our exchanges for a fortnight past, and it coutiiiues to "go the rounds” unconirn- dieted. If there is ono word of truth in it, it establishes a fact very different from that ■ought to be conveyed. It tells us lhat tha present slave population of South Carolina is 383,000, and tho whitv population 363,000 -—end that iho increase of population among the blacks line been three limes ns great as among the whites I What a whnpprr I We find by reference to tho United States census of 1600, that the population of South Caro lina then was—Whites 274,503, Slaves 384,1)84. So, taking the figures in tho above extract to be correct, wo perceive that ■inco I860 Ihcro has been a decrease of the ■lave population of the State and an increase ef the white population! How nny one, out of this comparison, can nrrivo at the conclusion that the slave population c.f South Carolina baa increased moro than tho white population, rather puzzles us. But it ia duo to tinth lo aay that wn do not believe there hat been any rccont census taken in South Carolina. Probably aomo Fnesoilcr .manufactured Iho pretended statistics "out of whole rlolli," as a bug-a-boo to send South and frighten thoso who might ho thoughtless enough to believe it. Ho made "too big a boo." Wo find that from 1840 to 1850 the white population of all the Southern Slates increased ; but tho slave population ol Del aware and tho District of Columbia largely docrcascd, in Maryland it just held its own, and in Virginia tho increase was too insig nificant lo count. Undoubtedly thu next Census will show a decrease of the slave population iu Maryland, Virginia and North Carolina. Of course, as the negroes ere carried elsewhere, there must he a corres ponding extraordinary increase of the slave population in come of the new cotton Ktaw •. But we find, on consulting tho Census, that from 1810 te 1650 the white population of all the slaveholding States increased 34 32 per cfnt-, while lha alavo population in ail of them increased only 29 Si per cent. Ill view of three facte and figures, In w fallacious and damaging to its own theory ia the following cnmuiriit of the Mobile Tribune on the above exiurt: "The increase ol the blacks is three times (great as that ol tho whiles! Whether this is true or otherwise, we can not say. It is, however, u well-known tact that tho lncre.se ot the black population ot the South —not the North—greatly exceeds that ol the whites. This is universal, li may l>e time in South Carolina, among the old patrimo nial estates, greater kindness increases iho fecundity ol the race.

It is stated that Sardinia 1ms colled out interest of our great and growing State. As a freeman I am opposed at this particular juncture, in State ond federal politics, to party strifes and division* among ourselves. We should rather be united throughout the whole South, that we might be able to pre sent to Northern fanatics an unbroken front. Believing that we air approaching a very important crisis, I had hoped that we would ■lengthen ourselves by the- diffusion of a more liberal and brotherly spirit srnong ourselves at home. I had hoped that Geor gia, our beloved 8tate, woald stand aloof from political divisions, and bested party strifes or Gubernatorial conventions.
