Ever since tho days of the elder Napoiecii, when lie was banished from his riglitful.thronc, and a hateful Bourbon substi tuted in his place, by the tyrunts of Europe, Italy lias boon tho spoil of foreigners and strangers. Those evor-momorable nnd nover-to-bc-forgotten campaigns of Napoleon, which rescued her from the thraldom' of Austrian tyranny, and her re-occupation by that power, were but tho beginning of a dark and fearful drama in her history, which will eventually cud in the permanent estab lishment of her independence. In what a glorious work is Franco cugaged then, if she has no sinister designs ! How refresh ing to feel that this hallowed land will be restored to its primeval happiness, Aw when Venice arose, rockod on the bosom of the Adriatic, her Queen and Spouse, and when Venetian splendor dazzled the world 1 She can be nought but Austria’s pvoy.while under her rule, whoso very name is synonymous with ignorance, superstition and absolution, and fraught with evil to mankind. Look at Hungary and Poland bleeding at every poro —the plunder of this haughty Power. The blood of tliose noble Poles, Kosciusko and his corn-patriots call fur revenge. In the track of her armies are desolation, woe and death. We hope the present Emperor of Franco Is sincere in his desire to froo Italy, and not make her a pliant tool for the accomplish ment of some ambitious object, not for bis aggrandizement but for her good. Like his noble uncle may he honor the land of Virgil, the home of a Michael Angelo, and the abodo of genius. May it never bo said of Italy as it was of Greece : “ Ah! Eloqnsnoe tbon wast nitdona, Want (row Iby native country driven, Whoo tyrants eclipse tbe sun And blotted oat the stars of Hoaven.’’ But may Bhe thore abide covered with Lib erty’s protecting wing, and guarded by her eagle eye. These reflecting have been called up by tho interesting events which are now taking place in that hallowed country, will not further trespass on your patience.

Every line is as the lightning’s Hash—every sentence us crushing as a thun derbolt. “ A thousand hearts oro great within his bosom—’' “ He tintttv» heart amt arm, bis own blue shy Abovo him nml liis own green land around.’ • The argument of Mr.Hill on the duty of Congress to protect Slavery in tho Territo ries is unanswerable, liis views on tl.e duty of the South are clear and patriotic.— lie speaks out like a true man nnd a devot ed patriot, ns lie is. No time serviug.poli- cy suits Dim. What lie enunciates arc the outspoken convictions of an honest man and a dauntless spirit. He risen supomov to parly, mat, poisidt upon Ids.own great mind and spirit, assumes, gloriusly independent, his.jyisitioii on the rights of tho South, mid her remedy if denied them. He calls on Governor Brown and the Southern Democra cy to cut loose from those at the North whom many of tlioir own leaders toll them have diverted and betrayed them, and to unite in one great party, firmly standing on tho Bights of the South. If they heed the call, it will seal the sincerity of tlioir professions —if tliiiy.ilo not, they Will damn themselves with tliq'itigma of preferring party to Gouti- ttSr&PWh to the Bights of their section. JPw is the time when such men us Mr, Hau should be nt tbe head of affairs, or in 'the'councils of the nation. They aro need ed to fill the places now filled by shameless demagogues and political dwarfs. The coun try demands tlioir services, and they should not be withheld. We hope they will not lie. ,et :.tliein he sought out and placed Upon’the procure) ly that Dohglas is aa dangerous a man for Die South as Sewm-d—lloitohia ’I'upnlni' sovereignty' is as aggressive and tit&vmsta the New York agitator at Bovliester or in the Senate clulnilier. Tho' same consider.'!* lions that could justify’ the'South ill resist ing the election of the one to the I’residency, even to a disruption of the Union, would demand a similar course Upon tin! election of the other. We do not hold the simple election of either, until followed by some overt net of aggression upon the South, ns a-jiiRt cause lor secession ; but we ean seO tin difference between them, and aro no more opposed to tile election of the one tlmn tho oilier. " We hope that no one will neglect to read ami reflect upon Mr. Hill’s letter. As a rep- resentative man, liis opinions on political subjects urc matters of interest; nnd when he treats tlim., with *hc nine and clearness displayed in this letter, every vote!' should give them due consideration. The letter entirely dispels the charge 1 of tho Democratic papers (and it, Was a favorite argument With Mr. Glopton in his recent canvass) that Mr, Hill is in favor of a party Union with Black lte.ptiblicans, ignoring the question of slave ry.

It is not necessary here to name the Re publicans as they all voted nay, If these 57 Democrats had voted for the proposition it would have passed, but they by their votes defeated it, and gave the preference for tho Montgomery amendment; and now some of tho leaders of that party seizo upon a vote which was taken afterwards, in which “ six Southern Americans” voted against them, and acciiRO them of defeating the moasure. But they in tj?is last vote, have not tho honesty to acknowledge that 28 De mocrats voted precisely as tho “six Southern Americans” did, the party that was elected to save the South sacrificed the South, to save. t\\cparty ! During the canvass tho cry was, elect, us and savo’tho South 1 Aftor tho olection and the work was done the cry was, we have sacrificed the South to save us! And now, (can oven gullibility itself credit it ?) this same party is calling to tho people again "elect us and save the South I” Was ever wrong so mean, or impudeuce so barefaced ? The great evil of tho Democratic party is, that it gives a respectability to wrong to the South, which it could acquire from no ot.hor source. If tho Republican party hodjmssed tho English Bill, what would, our Southern Governors have done ? If Wm. II. Seward was the father of Territorial Sovereignty, and non-protection to slave property, how many Southern men and newspapers would be recommending him for the Prosidencoy ? If John P.

There being much political excitement nt, the time, tho canvass partook of a political nature, and as much so as Joe Brown and his-friends could inake it. This was done for this purpose of securing Joe.’s election. Not having any legal merit, he appealed to the Democratic party which was largely in the ascendant in tho district, to elevate him to the bench. (It should have been a pillory.) Ho visited the city of At lanta and appealed to "the editors of the In telligencer, to advocate the claims of " Col. Drown, of Cherokee." They did oo to some extent, but it was not satisfactory. The capabilities, excellencies, legal attainments, and superhuman qualifications of “Cel. Brown,” wore not set, forth in language sufli- cioiitly explicit and cogent. Whereupon "Col, Brown” proposed to wrlto on cditoriul about “ Col. Browit” This was assented to, nnd in the Intelligencer, the 24th of Sept,, 1855, can bo found this rare gein of self inflated laudation. For four of nauseating lliu public, wo will only make one extract of the modest character. Road it. “If lie (Judge Irwin) had taken the open, candid und independent course pursued by Col. Brown, his opponent, nnd avowed his^ sentiments without disguise or double deal ing,lie would nftt now stand in the unenvia ble position lie now occupies before the com munity,” * * * “Rut the,trick is exposed, the people have learned the secret, and on Monday next they will stamp the seal of tlioir condemnation upon it and will eievato Co). Brown to the Bench—a gentle man eminently qualified, and one who is not ashamed of Ins principles, or afraid to avow them.” 1 Now reader reflect. The question may be asked Upon what authority do we make this eliarge. Wo answer that the authority is in- contestihlo. It is from a gentleman who was connected with tlioofiicoof tho Intelligencer at tho timo the article was written. W chullengo an investigation. This is the same, Indenticnl "Col. Brown” that was accidently nominated for Governor. ’ Will tho State of Georgia disgrace her fair escutcheon by tho re-election 1 of this self laudatory jfiflatus l—Southern Confederacy.

If I mifttako not, and 1 think A am correct, that during one of Col. Gurtrell’s speeches the Demo cratic Chairman retired from the Chair, giv ing as a reason that the discussion was be coming personal. Col. AVright disclaimed ever having been personal intentionally, and challenged his opponent or any one else to show it—which they failed tlf do. This little disturbance was amicably settled be tween the two gentlemen and tlic discussion closed. r Considering the premises, Col.

Now, Mr. Editor, in conclusion, let ttus say that the Opposition party of tho Fourth Congressional District need be proud of their standard bearer, and let them always ri- mepibortliat AV (right) is jnight nnd must prevail! “ Visitor,” tit National American. Poor Gartrell! SaB The Opposition candidate is causing this distinguished stumper nn unusual amount of trouble and perplexity. In McDonough, tho other duy, he was made to say ho would not support Douglas if lie was Ruminated by the Charleston Convention. This was an awful step to be forced to.take, lint, bad as it was, at Jonesboro’, he wont still further. At the latter place, Gul. AVright made a splen did argument in favor of Congressional pro tection' to slavery in tha Territories. His hold and manly Southern position on this question was received with enthusiastic ap plause. This being perceived by Col. Qur- trell, lie resolved on a bold stroke of policy whereby to regain bis lost ground. When, therefore, Col. Wright concluded. Col. Gartrell in his answer claimed lie had always occupied that ground, and tluit he ad vocated it as long ago ns 1840 1 l’oor fel low 1 perceiving that tho Newnan Platform, which ho tries to ridicule, und its able expo nent were gaining popularity rapidly, ho concluded he would make a bold push, ami try to secure the applause for himself! In doing this ho runs immediately afoul his.or* gan here, tho “ IntoHigcncor,” which holds and has tried to prove, that Slavery cannot go into tho Territories under tlse Common Law, and that tho doctrine of Congressional protection is a false one. As nothing is so inconsistent in Democra cy ns to prevent harmony, wo presume that this will bo regarded us u minor princiidt-* entitled to little or no consideration, and bS no means of sufficient importance—although tho dearest rights of tlic South are involved, to cause a disagreement.
