I>r« Miller's Speech.
Wc shall not attempt—Tor we feel that
we cannot ilo it—lo do justice by descriptien
to tho address delivered by Ur. If. V. M.
Mfu.ia in Tcmpcrsnco Hall on Monday
night. It was eminently the speech of the
campaign clear, logical, eloquent and
convincing. The Doctor is one of tho
readiest and most llucnt speakers of tho
country, seldom at’a moment’s loss for .pre
cisely tho right word, never committing a
grammatical error, and very rarely going
bark to alter the phraseology oi n sentence.
In strong and nervous language, and by
lacta and figures which could not be dis
puted, he expoted tho unsouudness and
incoinpitency of Gov. Urown, both as a
Federal politician and as a State executive
officer. We know that tho strongest Dem
ocratic friend cl lifov. Drown must admit
that Dr. Miller’s exposure of that official's
short-coming, blunders nnd bad manage
ment was perfectly overwhelming ; and
• thereloro wo shall not go into particulars.
Wc believe that there is another feature
of Dr. Miller’s speech, in regard to which
all candid Democrats who heard him will
agree with us, viz.: that ull tho political
principle which h« announced wcio emi
nently sound nnd constitutional. Men may
differ with him as to tho proper inode ot
■securing ilxr triumph of those principle*;
but tho politician who dissents from any of
tho claims vs Inch he insists upon in behalf
of tho South and her interests is unworthy
of the confidence of the South. It was the
boot exposition of tho constitutional status
of tho South's peculiar property and rights
that wc have yet heurd in a political canvass.
The 11 all was compactly filled, and the
audience, by their patient's and applause,
manifested nn unflagging interest during
(h make^thtTfoodhrwt I delivery ol 11 Ep**ch occupying about
^ w,,n two hours and n half. Dr. Miller will hence
forth bo /mown hero as one of tho most
powerful, logical and instructive speakers
in Georgia or the entiro South. His effort
on Monday night was alono sufficient to
establish for him a reputation of which any
speaker might well bo proud.

Victory Within Our Graepl
The moet encouraging and gratifying
reports of tho progress of the Congressional
canvsse in this District pour in upon us.
The discussions in the counties below have
been hut a reries ot brilliant triumphs in
debate by Mr. Dcuglkss. He has proved
himself a skillful, sharp and convincing
debater, exposing tho weak points of his
adversary at every turn, am! \indicating*hiH
own positions by the most conclusive argu
ments. Tho people everywhere receivo him
with enthusiasm, and the popular sympathy
(aside from party Iccling) is clearly with
him.
Wc publish two letters* concerning the
canvass to-day. The writer of tho letter
from Colquitt is known to us ns a Democrat
of standirg anti ii.flucuco. These reports
sustain our verbal accounts ami prepare us
to antictpnto the triumphant election of
Marccllus Douglass.
•The Democratic expressions of misgiving
and doubt, however artfully wordod, corrob
orate these rrporta of Mr. Douglass’ friends.
Tho.Culhbert Reporter, alluding to the
Democratic dissensions in Randolph county
—there being in that county two Democratic
candidates for the Semite and three for tho
House—expresses great (ear that Judge
Crnwlord and Gov. Drown will bo swapped
oil, and entreats its patty friends lo,"sce to
it that you do not, by your distraction, elect
Douglas* and defeat Crawierd." Tho Ma
con State Crest publishes an extract of n
private letter from Dougherty county, as
follows :
"If nothing should disturb our present
canvass, 1 th.nk wo .shall bo able to givo
“We’ve got a ilnby.”
The following letter, which bears internal
evidence of being a bq|n fide epistle, wat

Col. Speer and tho Bibb
doing well."
That is a very considerable fall from the
"fifteen hundred or two thousand majority”
which the friends of Judge Crawford prom
ised themselves at tho opening of the
canvass. Dut the writer’s "if” intervenes
to endonger even the diminished triumph
with the prospect of which ho consoles him
self. Many things have occurred, and are
occurring, to "disturb tho 'canvass." Wc
have mentioned a few of them. Dut under
neath oil these, and more powerful than ull,
is thu popular current of opposition lo tho
present Administration and to the National
Democratic parly,’ of both of which Judgo
Crawford is an adherent' and apologist.
Flic people ure tired of tho blunders, cor
ruptions uud deceptions of that party, and
they will not by their votes sustain its many
objectionable acts and purposes.
Let our friends of Muscogco unite in
unbroken ranks in the support of Mr.
Douglass. They can elect him, and two
inoro grievous years of misrfpreaeutalion
and miegovernment will make them regret
it if they neglect the opportunity.
ygy We copy from thb New York Herald
its prognostications of tho character of the
next Presidential contest. In our opinion,
it is very likely to be mistaken in the very
groundwork of ita theory. Wc believe that
tho Charleifon Convention will repudiate
neither Douglas nor his platform. Whether
he is nominated us its candidate or not, it
will take good care not to denounce the
doctrines that havo secured him such strong
support; but rather, by appropriating them,
seek either to secure his co-operulion, or,
failing in that, to leave him without
any distinctive platform or party. Dut the
chances appear to bo that Douglas will win
the nomination.
tFr Tho lute excessively cold weather at
the North ia ascribed to tho Aurora Doreali*.
It might with j uni a * much propriety be
useribed lo those "six Opposition members
of Congress."—Aug. lhsp.
Ho it might. Dut hod the Aurora Borealis
been ascribed to cold weather at the far
North (which perhaps tequired the interval
between the ohservSnco ol the lights and
lato cold spell to extend to trie i emper-
region), there might havo been more
reason ill the notion. And so, had the
course of "tho’so six Opposition members of
Congress" been ascribed to tho subterfuges,
humbugs, and base party compromises of
their Democratic assuciates, the true key to
their conduct might have been revealed.

delegates from that Slate to the Charleston
Convention, nnd makes out 20 for Mr.
Dickinson, 21 for Douglas, 8 for Ex-Gov.
Seymour, 9 lor Ex-Secretary Guthrie, i for
Guv. Wise, 1 for Scuator Hunter, 1 for
Secretary Cobh, 1 for Postmaater General
