Columbus (Inquire 4011 » H. M AttTI Taecday Morning:, Dec. 97, i860. The Northern C on serve tlvcs. Fourteen Northern Representatives voted for Mr. Gilmer, of ft. 0., on tbe 8lh ballot inf for Speaker of the Home, and hail the Democrat* generally voted for him on that balloting, he would have been elected. A a M i»a matter of interrat to tbe South to know the Northern men who, though gen* •rally classed a« lilaek Republicans, show a disposition to abandon sectionalism and make an efliart to >«atore the quiet and seen- rity of the cuentry, we copy the naaea of fhe fourteen. They are Meaara. Campbell, Hale, Junkin, Millward, Morria, Schwartz, Stevene, Verree, and Wood, of Fa.; Niion, Pennington, and Scranton, of N. J.; and Briggs and I tat kin, of N. Y. Mr. Briggs baa all the time voted with the Southern Opposition, and Meaara. Nixon and Scran ton, of N. J., have eeveral timee voted againat Sherman. Meaara. Ilaakin aad Hchwartz are Dooglaa Democrats. Thia vote corroboratea tbe report that all th Uppoeilien members from New Jersey and a majority from Penneylvanie, before the meeting of Congreve, repudiated tbo ol Republican and declared that they vrauld not go into a Black Republican ceucua. On the 8th balloting—Mr. (iilrncr having rrtirad and nominated Mr. Bottler—all tb above-named Northern man voted again for aitbar Sherman er “scattering," except Mr. Drigga, who voted (or Bottler. DeJarnetie of Va., and Weodaon of Mo. Democrat*, alto voted for Bottler, veto atooJ—8hermao ill, Bocock 83, Dot- eler 35, Scattering 9. 13T While wa beartily concur in the general aeniiment of tbe communication which we puhliah to-dey, aignad "Llnv we uiuat take occaaion to eay that we regard it aa rather indiscriminate in ila denuncia tion# af Northern men, teachara and othera, reaiding in tha South. Thia want of.dia- criminatinn ie probably an omisfiuri rather than an intantion of tho writer. It would, In our opinion, be highly unjuat even to distruat all Northern men maiding among «a becauae aoroa fiom that region have abueed our confidence and generosity j when suspicion ia.on account of the courae of the latter, aroused against those who have spent many year# at th# South and have tong exhibited attachment la her insti tutions arid customs, a great and undeserved wrong is dona them. We do not believe Ihet our correspondent mesne to arouse popular distrust against this claaa, but wo with to make it certain that our position ia understood, aud there fore we put in this disclaimer. ••A Bad I'.xcusc Better than None, This stems to be the logic ot the Times in attempting to justify tho course .of its party in Congress when rttey had a chance te elect a Nouthern man Speaker and refu sed to embrace it. It says that the Demot racy could not have foreseen that some of the Republicans would on that ballotlug volt for Gilmer, and therefore could not concentrate on him. Now, we have no doubt that tha intention of the conservative Northarn Opposition members to vote Tor Vllaier on that balloting was well under- etaod all over the hall; and wo know that Mr. Elhertdgr, a few daye before, notified the Democracy that 35 or 40 ^ole* could bo commanded lor Gilmer, and asked them if they would aid in electing him with that vote—a proposition which they failed or refined to accede to. But tho Democracy have since bed another opportunity to elect a Southern Opposition man—-wo rater to the )Oih bal loting, when Mr. Bolster, of Va., received 38 votes. 01 him, at least, it cannot pretended that ho has aver proved disloyal to tba South. We believe him to be the best Southern Rights man Virginia In Congress| sad wa bsliove that Mr. Gilmer, though he went astray on tha l.ecomptou question, is now more faithful to the South aa tha living issues alTecting slavery than many Southern and any Northern Dorn- •eerais. Th* Timta «sya that we are "indignant” that the Democracy did not embrace this opportunity to elect a Southern man Spea ker. No such thing, *»d our languago will not justify such a conclusion, if wo have manifested any indignation, it was because the Democracy persist in abusing the South- ern Opposition for not aiding in the elec tion of a Democratic Speaker (a result which they have not yet had a chance to bring about, becauae the Democracy are not |irong enough oi themselves and cannot ebiaiu votes from the Northern Opposition), and at tho aaiue time refuse to aid in elect, ing a Southern Oppositionist. The iueon- siiUncy ia ou their side, not ours. For ourselves, wo repost, we don’t caro a Dutch ativer whether thia Congress ever organizes it all. We regard the Federal (internment, under its present Administration, es an oppresses incubus upon tbe South—as its enemy, ever vigilant and powerful to harass and circumvent our section, hut utterly pow- erlsau and unwilllag te afford it due protec tion. Wo have adduced so many facte •bowing its invidious and detastable sec tional policy, that we do not care to make specifications now. If tha Congress is not held, and tho appropriations are not passed, its power te harass us will be crippled, and ear people will be freer to provide for their own defence and prosecute their own enter prises. We are in no tribulation whatever on account of tbe failure to organise. Hardeman on Organisation. We find in the Georgia Citizen the following extract of a letter from Unit. Tboe. Hardeman. Being one of die actors In tbe present Congressional scramble for tbe Speakership, he is informed ol influ ences and intrigues a t *r»;k which are understood at Washington, but not avowed on the floor of the House, His reference t j the avowed purpose of the Douglas Deni oertto to go ever lu Sherman and elect him rather (ban see an Administration Demo crat chosen by the help of tbe Southern Oppoaition or other wire, is especially wor thy of obiervation. If tiro Southern Oppo sition wanted any ji/stificalion for manfully ding by tbeir own principles and tbeii men, this fad would furni/h it. Wi have already alluded to the rejected propo sition of Mr. Etheridge. Tho Southern Opposition, not content with tho simple refusal to accept it, afterwards more practi cally tendered it by securing enough North ern votes for Gilmer and Bottler for the Democracy to elect either; but agsin they declined. The responsibility being thus fixed, we copy from Air. Hardeman’# letter merely to show the influences that have operated so far to prevent en organization : "Wa cannot (ami it ia daily and hourly admitted here.) elect Dorock, could wegive him every vote. They (the Democrats) can only control for their candidate 00 votes. Add to lhat our whole vote, 33, and you ecu only have then 113 vote*, not enough to slsct j and it baa bt-vn definitely settled tine, that tho moment wo go to then,, the Ami* Lccompton Democrat*, who have been throwing their votes sway, will, in order to f -revent the election <>( an Administration )cmocrat, voto lor Sherman. They havo said this on the floor, again and again. You see by the paper I sent you to-day that Ethcridgo, of TcnnctrSie, made a distinct proposition that wo would go (nr Bocock, whenever they could get enough votes, with oers, to elect him, provided they would agree to come to one of our party, when- ever we would swell bia vote, so that, with them, be could bu elected. But this lair proposition is indignantly rejected, because we ore not recognized os a party. They auroly should control their own party, before we arc called on to abandon ours, to their sinking farturitn. The truth ie, CF ft ia a fact worthy of note/ that while the Black Republicans have generally been acting on tha defensive during tbs present- session of Congress, and have ap peared rather desirous to conciliate than to further provoke the South, two or three of the Douglas Democrata bava been moat taunting and insulting. Tbe Washington Stater, speaking of late speeches by Messrs. Hickman abd Haakin, Northern Democrats, eiys: “The former (Hickman) delivered the most insolent speech against the slave- bolding States that ever was uttered CJur.grcss half. Certainly no member who represents a district of one of those 8tates cm ever aztend to him tba right hand of fellowship, after the threat lhat, if a division of the Union were attempted, eighty thou sand bristling bayonets would be aeen mov ing in this direction for coercing tbe Sooth into obedience." Yet the Suutbern Oppositionists have been nsured for not affiliating with this Dougfai faction ! Kr The Nashville Patriot, of tbe 15th instant, savst "The Grand Jury of the county, yesterday, had under consideration ■ of Allen A.

Enquirer announce* that the little "band ol riouthem Oppositionists in Congress is the only ci-rn-r rvntive, Con- otitutinnn! party of the country.” Wo sup. poao tlteir "cotiscrveliim" consists in hating and abusing the Democratic party j ami their Constitutional lenity in raising twenty tea ter Gilmer and Bolder for tho Speak- hip, in order to defeat tho .Southern Democrory. At least this ia all wo have isrd ol iftoir attampung to do lately. (Southern Era. beard of their doing a great deal mare, bet wa do not cxpcct*lhem to racoivs any credit for it at the hand* of a eingls Democratic paper of Georgia or Ala bama. Wa have beard of thsir “raising” 10 votes for Gilmer and 38 for Bulelor, and when they did ao, if the Democracy had only voted with them a Southern man and slaveholder would have been chosen spea ker. But we havo never bcurd of Ilia Democracy affording the Southern Opposi- tionUts such a chance to elect a Huuihern Speaker—even a fishy politician like Bo cock. Never have they "raised” for Bocock votes enough to elect him with the aid of ell the Southern Opposition; indeed they have never rallied for Bocack even the full Democratic vote. It will therefore be seen that it ia tho Southern Democracy who nr.' "defeating" the Southern Oppositionists in •very opportunity that tbe South haa to •ecura the Speaker.

A letter from Aus tin to the Houston Telegraph reports that •H«r the dectiou Col. Wigfalj made "a very conservative speech,” in which be declared hia paipoaa to sustain tha AdmmiaUaliot ol President Buchanan, and antiouuced his opposition to Congressional protection of alavery in the Territories and to the re- opening of tha African slave trade. These, it will he vewembetsd, are tha very )>osiiiona taken by Gen. Ueuatou in hi* late canvass, and which the Democracy certainly did net regard as constituting Aim a Southern Right* man. Wigfiall, we apprehend, is •niy oa# in name—at lca»t, hia ideas ot Southern rights would suit a Northern latitude exceedingly wall. J He resolution to use Northern pro duct* and fabrics aa sparingly B s possible Appears to bo an earnest and progressing one at the South. There it no doubt in the world that if generally resorted to, it would effect a salutary revolution in public sentiment at the North. Even fanaticism n be reached through the "pocket narvr,” though it haa neither head ny ‘drear* to be fleeted. It is in the great cities that con- 1 •creative demonstrations aro first made, ply because they aro the centres of commerce, and tbeir merchants sad otbor business men feel the first effects of any alienation of Southern trad*.

To Cotton Planters und their Factors. CoU'inii'g, Dec. 23,1859. There has been some complaint on account Of the delay in transporting ibe Cotton frero tho stations. This delay was unavoidable, the collision of our two best engines. There waa no remedy but time to repair. It Las been said that w» should have procured othrr engines. We could h obtained cne from the kindrteaa of the Pres ident of tbe Muscogee Road, but upon consultation we thought ft doubtful whether wo could pass it over the lliver Bridge w safety. Moroover, it was believed that could repair on* of our own as toon as Could get tbe Muscogeo engine over i place it in running order. Wo have abundance of motive power of our own, aud but for thig accident should havo had no trouble. Wo are isolated and have no advantage from a connection will oilier roads. Hid our connection with th Muscogeo been completed, we should no have been delayed an Itour. Wo have m>v two of our freight engines fully repaired and in perfect order, and will lolicve the station* ol ail the Cotton by the last ol next week. J. H. HOWARD, rrrnjdi-iit M. dt G. Railroad.

While in the Court-room to-day a sin- gularly disgusting coincidence occurred, plainly showing tho evil tendency and cer tain results of abolitionism. Scarcely were eated, when my eyre I oil upon the prisoners, a white man named James Fit ire- lough and hia uagto wife. Witnesses were J the elimination proceeded. A number of highly esteemed and respected citixons testified against the prisoners; liters also were called, and nuiong them a laige, old negro, black as ebony, and after him hi* wile appeared—aha ws« an A uteri- n white woman ! Astonished and con futed, to *ee two nations ao unrqual and Unlike united in matrimony, I mentally inquired, la this amalgamation, in real life, havo I seen * vision, * dream 1 Would »era a visionary same, never again known n this my native land, where my parents, and other generations long since past away, sleeping tba long yet unbroken sleep of death! I love these lofty moun- lowly valleys, rolling bills and quiet dales—old tneu-cflvsrrd dwellings, and *ly growing trees; homes replete with memories of tha past, and alive with tbe stirring event* of the present—and these mitrod-like river*, reflecting scenery from •round and shove in truthful imagery, fill the intelligent mind with lively emotion* of beauty, sublimity and love. But dearer etill aro the associations of childhood years; hue my tiny, feeble pulse began jo best tlm quirt march of time; my parents con secrated lhair infant child in baptism te God, and Iseght early lessons of obedience, piety and love—and in the church of toy youth, by "Confirmation,” took my bapti*. mal vows and received tho elements of the Holy Communion. When these reminis cences came up and posseaa my mind, this ‘ claim its sacred right to mourn r the 'band where o«r father* >U«U— Laud of ths migriiu*' |>rld*."

Editor Emjuirer: In tbe above caption there ia food for reflection, and it should engage the ‘ attention of every Southern mind. Tbe 8outb is in a peculiar situation at this lime; though she ie bravo and fear less, there should be a line of demarkation drawn for the purpose of protecting her rights and institutions. Time haa winged into our midst an element which is calcula ted, if carried into operation, to weaken not totally annihilate tbe received rights of our beloved section. That element has been growing aver since tbe Missouri Restriction was placed upon the 8outh ; once this ele ment was weak, but it Is now become strong and powerful. There seeme to be a uniting of tbe rubbish at tbe North for tbe purpose of breaking down, by haiiisb designs, the peculiar institution «f the South. This it made plain by the recent outbreak of a por tion of the Northern abolitionists at 'Har- par’s Ferry. Slavery is to be abolished, and the serfs of tho North are to usurp tbe title and rank of tbe Southern patriot. How is ba done ? by direct legislation 1 No, for thia haa long since failed and its agits- have long ago abandoned it in despair. By squatter sovereignty and unfriendly legislation ? Very probable. In tbe event this should fail, they are determined to carry their designs by force ot arms—they have already commenced it as above staled. By what other way do these freedom- shriekers expect to work to (fleet this end f what means do they expect to use to ac complish this result! The edict haa gone forth from the mountains to ilia seaboard, Maine to tbe Guif of Mexico, that slavery shall be exterminated by emissaries l to the South lo (fleet "this holy end.” We have seen this proclaimed in a letter one Lawrence Thatcher lo the noto.

Mr. McRae, of Mississippi, asked Mr. Adr&in whether, if the Charleston Conven tion shall adopt the Cincinnati platform, bo would support the nomine# f Mr. Adrain said h« would not, nor would his constituents, unless the platform was interpreted to declare that the people of a Territory, like those of a State, nave tbe right to decido tbe question of slavery for themselves. -Mr. Hickman said the North, in con struing the Cincinnati platform, hold that the people, in a Territorial condition, have the right to exclude slavery. The South construe it differently, that the people can exclude it only when they come to form, a State Constitution. This ia the iatuo be tween the North and the South. He, asa Democrat, would vote for no man, not oven tor Douglas, without an explanation. Mr. McKao inquired whit party be would co-operate with in the election ot Speaker? Mr. Hickman replied, With any political sentiment against the Administration party; for lie considered the sentiments oi that party the most obnoxious. Mr. McRae remarked that the inference wa a mat Mr. Hickman would co-operate with the Republicans, lie then anaiyxed the vote# which had been taken, to show lhat the responsibility ot electing the speak er rested on the .Southern Opposition and the snti-Lecomptonite*. Mr. Etheridge of Tcnneese, suggested hsiher it thirty-five or forty vote* could be polled for Mr. Gilmer of North Carolina, the Democrata would join their iorces to hi* support ? He said the Southern mem bers could hove no objection-to Mr. Gilmer, who holds a hundred alavos. Mr. McRaeasked whether It waa fair lhat eighty-eight .»r ninety men should go over nty-tbreo t Had it been shown that Gilmer could get thirty votes, why did not the gentleman unite his twenty-threo with tbo Democrats, putting (lie responsibility on the anti Lccomptonies to determine the result t r. Etheridge raid they could test the when it could be shown that Mr. Bo- can receive ninety-three vote*. It would then be no tliflicult task to show he could be elected. Some of the Democrats, h iwever, had refused to vote for Mr. Bocock and ignored hia Democracy. Mr. Drab8on,ol Tennessee, said he could not vote for a Republican, nor cauld ha vote »r a man who endorsed tha position of Ir. Douglas, a* the litter's docj/inca erp holly subversive of riouthem rights.
