miaannrl Democratic Convention.
Si. Bouts, April 11.—The proceedings
of tho Democratic Stato Convention at
Jeilorson City, yesterday, were not vory
harmonious, and little progress was
made. The Committee on Resolutions
agreed upon a platform which wus pre
sented this morning, indorsing the main
features of Buchanan’s administration :
| affirming that neither Congress nor Ter
ritorial Legislatures have power to abol
ish or prohibit the introduction of slave
ry iu the Territories, repudiating Doug
las’ doctrine of unfriendly legislation,
favoring tho fugitive sluve law, charging
the invasion of Virginia as tho legitimate
result of the teachings of the Republi
can party, repudiating the stereotyped
j charge of disunion sentiments so often
J repeated for party effect against the
Democratic party, and denouncing tho
doctrine of an irrepressible conflict on
State polities. The platform dodges the
rail road issue by proposing to refer it to
the people at the next election, asserting,
j however, that it is alike the interest and
I duty of the Stale to encourage a judi
cious system of internal improvements
within the constitutional limits of the
State debt.
Judge Roland, said to be in favor of
Dickinson for the l’rcsidency, was elected

Pittsburg, April 11.—The heavy rains
for the past few days have caused a fresh

siderable property. The low lands along
the Monongfthela and Alleghany rivers
are completely inundated. Tbe rise came
so suddeuly that several coal boats on tbe
Monongahela were swept over the dam
and sunk. Tbe number lost is thirteen;
tho loss being over SIO,OOO. Tbe loss in
Allegheny bus been considerable. Sev
eral manufactories have been flooded, and
families in some instances were driven
from their dwellings; tbe rail roads have
also sull'erod from land slides, which have
impeded travel. Altogether it has been
one of tho most destructive freshets ex
perienced for many years. Tbe rivers
have mostly now attained their highest
stage, rising about an inch per hour.
The Monongahela pier mark is 20 feet 4
inches—only 20 inches less than in the
great freshet of 1852.

Dentil of Col. Stanford.
We aro pained to reocive authoritative
intelligence of the death of Col. Adolphus
M. Sanford, of Glenuville, Ala., which
occurred Tuesday night, the 10th inst , at
Carrollton, near New Orleans, lie had
been iu feeble health for some time pre
vious to his death, aud a few weeks since
went to the latter city for tho purpose of
procuring medical aid; but the fatigue of
the journey aggravated his disease and
rendered it necessary to sumrnou his de
voted family, who arrived a short time
previous to his dcccnso. Col. Sanford
was formerly a representative from Bar
bour county in tbe Alabama Legislature,
and was endowed with more than an or
dinary degree of intelligence. By his
death his family has sustained the irre
parable loss of a devoted husband und
father, aud society a noble, ckivalric and
high-toned gentleman.
The (treat Prize f'lglit.
According to original agreement, the
great “ international” prize light occur
red yesterday, between Tom Sayers and
tbe “Beuicia Boy:” but a letter from
Faulkner, the backer und agent of tbe
latter, to a gentleman in New York, re
ceived by the last steamer, stated that
tho great “ mill” had bcou chauged to the
Utli, instead of the llilh, on account of
the anticipated interference of the civil
authorities.
It is presumed that Copt. Adah I. M.

upon tho success of “ the bravest man in
the world.” Wo hope the bull-dogs made

packages from tbe mails while employed
as temporary route agent on the South

con l’ostoffice. 1 am unable to say wheth
er they have sufficient proof to convict
him. Mr. B. is a youug man twenty
four or five years of age aud has always
sustained a character irreproachable.
He is highly connected in tbe city and bis
arrest has caused the deepest sympathies
for himself and relations. He will be
carried to Savannah to-day, where he

From Harpers’ Weekly.
Hon. Martin J. Crawford.
Martin J. Crawford, a Representative
in Congress from Georgia, was bornjn
Jasper county, in that State, on the 17th
day of March, 1820. lie is a son of Har
dy Cruwford—a member of that family
so oid and honorable in Georgia, where
the name of Crawfold has repeatedly
been associated with responsible and dis
| [jnguisbed public positions. His mother
was a daughter of Lieutenant William
Jenkins, an officer of the Virginia Conti
nental Line, who settled in Georgia soou
after the close of the Revolutionary War.
The early education of Mr. Crawford was
received uuder the watchful care of his
father, who exacted diligence and obedi
cnee under all circumstances. Thus tho
boy was timely prepared for usefulness
und distinction in manhood. His educa
tion, so auspiciously commenced, was
completed at Alercer University, a flour
ishing institute in Central Georgia.
Shortly after leaving the University
Mr. Crawford commenced the study of the
law under the r. lvico and counsel of Hon.
Thomas F. Foster, a lawyer of distinc
tion, and for several years a conspicuous
member of the House of Representatives
of the United States. The schoolmate of
his father, and always his friend, Mr.
Foster always took a great interest in his
student, whose progress was such that
be was admitted to the bar just before be
was twenty-one years of age. Although
Mr. Crawford entered upon his profession
with solid acquirements, as the result of
diligent reading, and with every pros
pect of great success, the death of his
father about that time, by wbioh ho came
to the possession of a handsome fortune,
disinclined him to engage actively and
entirely in the law. He contented him
self, therefore, with so much practice,
and no more, for some years, as would
secure to him at home and on the circuit
the genial society and generous inter
course for which the bench and bar of
Georgia are famous.
While yet a youDg man, Mr. Crawford
was elected a member of the lower branch
of the Legislature of Georgia, and he
served iu the session of 1845-’4G with
marked success, taking a position among
the most active and useful members.
With a determination to quit politics
and devote his attention to the practice
of the law, Mr. Crawford removed in 1848
to Columbus, where he has since resid
ed. He was true to his purpose until
1850, when the excitement growing out
of the slavery question was scarcely any
—if at all—less in the South than ut the
present time. A disciple of the extreme
Southern Stato Rights’ School, Mr. Craw
ford shared in the general excitement
which pervaded his section, and consent
ed to be chosen a delegate to the celebra
ted Nashville Convention. He maintain
ed in that body and before the people the
duty and necessity of resistance to the
Compromise Mfeasures of 1860. Geor
gia, however, determined to accept the
adjustment, and he acquiesced.
The election of Hon. Alfred Iverson
to the Senate of the United States in 1853
created a vacancy on the bench for the
circuit in which he resides, to which Mr.
Crawford was chosen. He rose rapidly
in his new field of duty. His courteous
manners, united with a fine intellect, an
excellent knowledge of and a firm and
impartial admistration of the law, emi
nently fitted him for the judicial office.
So satisfactorily did lie demean himself,
that, upon his retiring from the bench,
resolutions were adopted by the bar, for
the first time in the history of the circuit,
declaring their high appreciation of him
as a man, and their full approval of his
career ns a judge.
In 1855 Mr. Crawford was nominated
for Congress (much against his own
wishes) by a Democratic Convention.—
The District is composed of twenty four
counties, and the canvass, which was
conducted with ability on botli sides, was
one of great labor and great excitement.
Mr. Crawford was elected over his com
petitor —who was regarded as one of the
most sagacious leaders of the American
party—by a msjority of some GOO votos,
and took his seat as a member of the
Thirty fourth Congress in December,
1855. He was again elected, in 1857, to
the Thirty fifth Congress, by a majority
of 1000 votes, and to the seat he now
holds, as a member of the Thirty sixth
Congress, in 1859, by a still larger ma
jority ; thus proving that his constitu
ents consider him a “good and faithful
servant.”
In Congress Mr. Crawford ranks among
the ablest men in the House, and al
though strong in his own opinions, and
sometimes heated iu their advocacy, he
preserves decorum in debate, and is al
ways courteous aud respectful in inter
course. His speeches on tbe general pol
itics of tbe day, of which he has made
several since he came to Congress, are
among tho best on the ultra Southern
side, and candidly express his views.—
His position on the revival of the slave
trade may be gathered from the following
paragraph from his remarks in an inci
dental debate on that subject in the
House. After stating tbe position of
several Southern States on this question
in former years, Mr. Crawford went on
to remark :
“ As I said before, South Carolina and
other States early moved in this matter ;
but to-day we stand in a different posi
tion, and our opinions of slavery are dif
ferent from what they were then. Then
it was the custom of our private and our
public men to excuse themselves for its
existence among them; but ‘Abolition’
movements, from 1820 to this time, have
caused investigation and discussion of
the subject until it is stronger in the
South than ever before : and although its
enemies have increased, it never had so
many friends as at this time. No South
ern man condemns it as an evil, either
moral or political; and so far from apolo
gizing for it here now, as our Represen
tatives did in 1820, we stand here its ad
vocates and defenders. Moreover, we
say to you of the North, who advocate
the doctrines advanced both here and
in another place, that if it is a war be
tweeu the States and the Territories for
free labor or slave ‘abor—‘that all must
be slave’—you but hasten the day when,
upon tho plains of Arizona, and the terri
tory south of us, even to Central Ameri
oa, you will find the South equal to the
necessity which you have imposed upon
her, and a perpetuation of slavery, which
time itself can scarcely compute. The
question, therefore, rests with the North.
Let us alone, and we are content ; if we
are driven to the importation of African
laborers it will be your fault, not ours.”
Mr. Crawford speaks with great fluen
cy, and is concise and forcible rather
than ornate, fortifying his positions with
facts and authorities, and making no at
tempt at display. He is of middle age,
well made, with Celtic features and com
plexion, aud keen, piercing eyes. Grace
ful in his gestures, and possessing a plea
sant yet commaudingvoico, he is invaria
bly listened to whenever be rises, and
generally retains, while on the floor, the
earnest attention of the House. This is,
probably, because be “never speaks with
out having something to say and sel
dom, except to the immediate question
under consideration. He was in last
Congress and is still a member of the
Committee of Ways and Means.
Serious Collision at Home.
The late collision at Rome appears to
have been much more serious than was
at first presumed.
The number of persons killed and
wounded is reckoned at 147. A number
of ladies were also more or less injured.
Tbe American Consul was stabbed in the
side. Tho wound inflicted is bat a slight
one.

Columbus, July 25th, 1857.
Wo take pleasure in stating that we have been
selling Mr. A. D. Brown's Wheat Fun for the lust
two years almost exclusively. We have sold them
to all sections of the surrounding country, both
iu Georgia and Alabama, aud they have given
general satisfaction. We have never heard any
complaint of the first one yet, and believe they
are tho best Fans now in use. We have formerly
shipped Fans lrorn tho North for our own tiade,
but we have abandoned them, Mr. Brown’s Fan
having superseded them entirely.
