This being the case, a consider able portion of the diaerrpincy between the return of polls and tho vote of Muscogee county in October ia accounted f>r by tho fact that members of our Volunteer and Fire Companies aro exempt from poll tax. This would not account in full for the difference between 933 polls returned and 1600 votes given in, hut would materially help to reconcile the apparent discrepancy.

Tho Repub lican Convention will, perhaps, ns heretofore, York, and the cloaely-suhsequent organiza tion of tho Natimal House of Represents* live*, will have much te do with the dreision of this important question. Recent Htate elections at the North havo made it clearly manifest that without such a party thr Hlack Republicans will ride rough-shod the "National" Democracy in the Jential contest. Ponnnylvania and us, by whose vote alone enough -Northern support wna given to Duchanan to elect him in IhiO, havo during tho last month shown that in a contest between Democracy and Hlack Republicanism they will hereafter lake position with the latter. Illinois will unquestionably go the same nny if anybody else than Douglas is the Charleston nominee. Tho Boutb, then, is dctply interested in any movement that coiilrmplatca tho opposing to the Hlack Ri-publicuu'i of tho North a puny that can wrest from them romo of tho Northern Htate*, and cither elect the next President o; carry the diction into the House. In Now York, tha Americana and con'iiv.ii,ve Oppositionists have adopted the wise policy of relcrting their Kioto can didate* from thr tickets of both the other parties— taking an equal number from each. It may tie that the candidates thus selected by (hem nro really hut little butler in polit ical soutimont than the rejected candidates on their respective tickets. Tho object is to exhibit tho conservative Opposition strength in the mariner best calculated to show it fully, and this wo think has been found in tho pulicy adopted, for no man will havo to voto tho mixed ticket with • consciousness that ho is only throwing away his voto lor a principle, hut will sup port it in tho confident expectation of its success. In our opinion, the best interests of the wholo country demand tho election of that mixed tickrt—not on account of tho political opinion* of the candidates compos ing it, but hecauso of the conservative demonstration which it is intended t*> call forth—not by uny mcogro majoiity, but by ono which, running up to fifty or an hun dred thousand, shall stand forth before tho whole country a hopeful proof of a quiet conservative fooling nt the North that can he organixad for u successful contest with Hlack Republicanism nnd Dornocracy in tho Presidential election of 1H60. The .New Yolk Herald—that for some time past has been desperately striving to rally tho Democracy as a simple Adminis tration party—comes in si a late hour to the sU| port of tho American mixed ticket in Nuw York. It appeals strongly to all roriMorvalivo men to unite in repudiating a Hlack R. publican party whusc sympathy instigated tho Harper's Ferry outrage, and recommends thu support ol tho mixed ticket as tho most eUcctivo way of manifesting that repudiation- After showing that, in addition to tho American vote of GO,000 lust year, there wui a reserve of 30,000 nericans that voted for ouo of the other rtics, and ol 30,000 moderate Republicans Oppositionists who would not volo at nil, nud thut without these the lllsek Republi cans nnd tho Democracy would bo nearly equul, it continues : "Thus it will nppenr that both these un satisfactory parties inny lie rebuked in ibis Hiato in November, by u plurality of u Ann* ilreJ thourarul fur tly muni ticket, and aim- ply by the third parly playing oil tho one ngninei thu otlitr, m tho election, and using each to break the oilier to pieces. result thus indicated ituuld beeyutvulrnt too mi^hti/ pupulur revolution throuabout the country m the r, construction oj partus Jor iNiO.

It is duo to-candor to say that we do not regurJ tho Ilcru/d's political inlogrity as abovo suspicion, nor its professed love for tho constitutional rights of the South as at all trustworthy. Hut it ia a kind ol polit ical vane that indicates tho popular current, nud as such wo rrgnril its present efibrts in behalf of tho mixed ticket us proot uf tho tendency ol a strong conservative sentiment in that direction. Wo shall soon srs whether this cstimato of its monitions is correct. Should this third parly movcmsnt bo ■ucceisful in Now Y'ork, wo tuny look for its further manifestation in the votes of Northern members in the organisation of tho Housn of Representatives. There aro sovcrul Northern Opposition members, class- cd ns Hlack Republicans, who, we feel confident, will not voto for any Kuwmdite for Kpoakcr, or for any politician engngad in promoting un "irrepressible conflict" with (Southern slavery—whether lie be a Howard Hlack Republican or u Douglas Hqunttcr Hovercign. Wo believe that throe of those men uro Messrs, llrigg* of Now York, Mer lin of Philadelphia, ami Corwin of Ohio, and that others will be found repudiating Sowardism in that contest, who n at tho Houtli only as Hlack Republicans and enemies of our section. They aro mon as friendly to the Houtli aa any Northern Dem ocrat in Congress, but who have boon driven into Black Republican association bcc.uiso they had nowhere else to go. But let tho conservative Opposition banner be raised at the North, with eny prospect of ruspeclablo support, end thousands of of this class will hasten to enlist under it. Tho Harper’s Furry manifestation of fanat ical fool-hardiees# and Black Republican leeching will bs un admonition to politi. cians of tliia data of tho danger of any sort of alliance with Northern sectional agitators, and we have faith to believe that it will sever the tie that ha« connected them with aueh un organization.

The message begins by informing the Legitlaluro that the Governor returns u number of bills passed on the lest days of the session of the previous Legislature, which did not become laws for the rmson that some could not be enrolled in tirno for the signatures of the presiding oflWrs to he affixed while their respectivo Houses wars in session, and others were nut read a second or third time except by ths.r cap- tione. The Governor condemns the prac tice of psstponing action on Legislative business until the heel of thu suasion, and then hurrying through it too hastily, and announce* that he will hereafter net hesi tate to veto all bills so passed that do not fully meet his approval. The Governor also objects to a great deal of the local and private legislation which occupies so much of the time of each ses sion, and dorlarea that lie hao heretofore vetoed many hills of this character. Ho opposes the formation of mure new counties unless their area of territory is equal to tho present average of counties, and unless the new counties pay into the Treasury in the shape of taxes a sum suffi cient to rsiruburse the Htate lor their demands upon it. The Governor earnestly recommends "an early change of the constitution, so as to reduce the number of Honatora and Rep resentatives. [ would suggest that tho Senate be reduced to thirty-three msmbrrs, which would be an average of one for every four counties; and tho House ef Represen tatives to one hundred and fifty-two mem bers, which would ba two to each ol twenty sountiea having the highest representative population, and one to oach of the remain ing counties.” To effect this reform, he rscnjunftcnds the calling of a convention, to htch In ay also be submitted oilier neces sary alterations of the constitution He proposes a considerable saving in the hire of clerks of the two House*, by fixing their rales of pay by law. A bill which passed the last Legislature, changing tho 1st section of the 3d articlo of the constitution, so as to authorix# change of venuo from one county another in tho trial of criminal cases, foiled to rueeivo the signaturo oi thu Fiosident of the Henate. Nevertheless, tho Governor had it published, inasmuch as there ia a diversity of opinion whether the constitu tion requires tho signatures ol the presiding officers at the first session which passes s kill that has to ho re-pasicJ by another Legislature before it can bccomo operative ; and ho submits the bill, with this siatcmeift, to the consideration of the Lsgislsture.

One or two other alterations in the details of thonystcra are recommended. During the year, $100,647 of bonds not jc, and $50,500 of bonds due, have been redeemed; and $150,000 of bonds for the Educational Fund have been issued. Thesr* bonds are due twenty years after date, and diaw six per cent, interest, payable annually to tho school fund. Returr^.u(school statistics have been re* ccived ftour 10$ counties. The Governor threatens to withhold tho amounts of the fund due to the^ountiea that have not made returns orUI fneir Ordinaries comply with the call, and in the meantime to mako known tho cause of its retention. From the returns of these 102 counties, there are reported: "Whole 7i umber of children be tween the ages of 8and 18—107,825.

For the benefit of their con- atttaents, I shall have tho names uf tho de faulters published soon." Only 81 counties have levied and collected a county tax to be added to thoir school lund. The highest rate is levied by the counties of , Clark and Effingham, being 50 percent, on ! the Htate tax ; tho lowest by Meriwether, being ouly 5 per cent. Tho aggregate amount raised thus by tho 84 counties is ! $64,997. Tho Governor recommends the | withholding of its proportion of tho Siato fund from each county which fails to levy a tax of at least 25 per cunt, upon the Slate tax for educational purposes. This uniform rate would increase tho entire Educational disbursement oi the .Stale to $300,000 per annum. Old Ilroivn and fils ICxplolls. EXTRAORDINARY FEDERAL LENIENCY.

OIJ Urown, while in Kansas, was guilty of all the crimes of which Virginia jury havo convicted him. Ii maintained in tho rocc»sea of the limber Marias dcs Cygncs a fortification, whence at intervals he and his desperate sallied to commit depredations upon tl;e pro-slavery settlements of Kansas and th slaveholders of Mrssouri. Ho invaded Mis souri at sight, with fire and the revolver murdered her peaceful citixens in cold blood, plundered them of their property, and oil’ their slavoa into Kansas. A large reward was offered hy tho Missourians for hii apprehension, and al times they made unsuccessful attempts to capture him. Hut lie hud always a few outlaw companioL with him at hia "fort,” and tho strong abolition settlement of Ossatvaloinio was near al hand, from which he could d, "aid and coinfort" to the extent nerded. Tho conscquonco was that the Missou never could catch him, and the Federal Government would uot—indeed, on ono occasion it disarmed and turned back a party of pro-slavery men who wore on their way to punish (hsawaloiuic and Urown in a proper manner for their many outrages. Precisely tho aarne course wa« pursued by the FeJcral Government towards Mont gomery and hia band, who for ao long a lime pillaged and murdered the pro-slavery men of Kansas and Missouri. It is only a change of locality, and not a difference in the crimes committed, that has aroused so much excitement about Brown's late exploits and brought swift justico upon him and his party. Leniency und forbear- unco had emboldened him; the failure to assert the "majesty of the law" in Kansaa had encouraged him to hope for tho aarne immunity in Virginia in caso of the failure ot hia attempted insurrection. It was a most miserable and total failure, involving of life or properly than Urown had before taken in hie foraye in Kansas and Missouri, and most of the excitement attending it in the Kouth was produced by telegiaphic reports greatly magnifying the number of the invaders and tho extent of their operations.

Just as wu ranged up with him, pitsing by in single file, the horst*' heads and tails well together, he optned his huge mouth with a mighty yawn, uttering as hu did so a sound between a heavy sigh and a growl.
