MILLEDGEYILLE:
TUESDAY HOltlflYC, JL’\'E 2i, 1S59.
The Opposition Party.
Since the card of the American Executive
Committee has been published, declining to call
a Couvention ol that party, but suggesting the
meeting of an Opposition one, the Democrat
ic press of the State, has not been slow in im
puting sinister motives to, disparaging and ridi
culing the name. The name of Opposition seems
vague and unmeaning to them—without point or
force. For such obtuseness and opacity on the
part of tiie Democracy, wo are r.ot at all surprised ;
“as it has ever been the gloay of that party” to vio
late and repudiate their principles on every and j
any occasion when policy dictated, and at the same *
time sing paeans to those principles. We are not (
as we said, astonished at the political darkness that :
at this present time obliterates from vie w of the
rariifi—PresMMtial Election.
“Ion,” the Washington correspondent of the I»al
timore Sun, generally correct in hisjudgiuent, gives
expression in the following quotation from a letter
of his to that paper, dated on the 0th, to a coiicln.
sion rather foreign to that held by most leading
Democrats. Tfee door. Ion thinks is now open to
the formation of a great National Party, and it will*
tve hope, be formed and prove more reliable and
conservative than that now in power:
“When Mr. Seward left New York on his trip to
Europe, he assured his friends that he felt entire
confidence in the result of the next Presidential
election. He entertained no doubt that he would
carry every non-slaveholding State except Califor
nia and Oregon !
If nothing else should occur to prevent the ful
fillment of this prediction, it has been already ren
dered impossible by the Ohio State Court slave <le
National Democratic party South, the violation of j cision. The effect of that decision is to take the
Opposition Convention.
Tiffs Convention is to be held in Milledgeville
ou the third Wednesday in Julv.
Democratic Proceeding*.
This body assembled in our city on Wednesday.
There were three hundred and thirty-two Dele
gates m attendance. It re-nominated Gov. Brow n-
by acclamation, for re-election, after considerable
contention as to whether lie should be put ou the
Buchanan platform or not. The matter was tilth
mately compromised by the Convention endorsing
Mr. Buchanan's declarations for his aits. We
give on the opposite page a full history—
speeches and all—of what was said and done.—
Members of the Convention or others, who desire
it, can be supplied with extra copies of the lleeor-
der, of this week emission, at $2 per hundred cop
ies, five hundred copies §7, or § 10 per thousand.
The person ordering them must pay postage and
enclose the amount, for that purpose.
The Democratic 1'onvenfion.
As we anticipated, and the columns of our paper
will show, there was rare sport in the late harmon
ious Democratic Convention. But the reader
should have seen for himself to fully appreciate
the proceedings we give. It was manifest to the
observer, that as soon—in fact before—the Conven
tion could be fully organised, that certain parties
wore for getting the lead, and having things their
own way. So anxious were they, that regardless
of ali parliamentary rules, they began “pitching
into each other” before the Convention was fully
organised. A national administration man
opened in defence of the Administration, and, be
fore lie could be got down there was confusion
worse confounded. To make a long story short,
the “Harmonious” seeing how things looked, was
glad enough to adjourn to take breath and see if
something could not be done to harmonise the
“Harmonious.” They did adjourn, and for several
hours:—
“Politicians in knots upon the streets were seen,
Some with tierce gesticulation their points explain
ing;
Others again, with softer looks and words, did,
Persuasion try upon their fellows;
While others still more chary of the public gaze.
To their rooms retired to talk
O’er the affairs of State.”
After dinner the Convention assembled at the ap
pointed hour. Mr. Seward, thinking from the
marked demonstration of the morning, that:—
‘Policy wills some seeming cause be had,
To make that good, which justice knows for bad ;
presented two resolutions that doubtless he thought
ought to satisfy the most fastidious democrat in
reference to the “aoility and patriotism” of Mr.
Buchanan. After a considerable talk, and no little
confusion, and a show for Buncomb, the resolu
tions were at last brought fairly before the meet
ing and a vote taken upon them separately. \Ve
saw no good reason why the first should not pass,
■or why it was not endorsed by spontaneous combus
tion by the delegates. As will be seen by refer
ence to the resolutions, the first, endorsed the Cin
cinnati Platform, which means anything and
everything that Messrs. Buchanan, Douglas, For
ney, Toombs and Stephens would have it. Kansas
however, it will long be remembered, was the back
bone,the sine qua, non, the only principle, the only
h ipe, that gave importance to the Convention, the
other resolutions being inserted for mere form, and
to make a show of something being done. As the
English bill so democratically settled the princi
ples of the Kansas bill, of course, the Kansas ques
tion became immediately, if not sooner, an “ex
tinct issue” with the National Democracy.
The second resolution of Mr. Seward, expressed
.‘confidence in the ability and patriotism ot Mr.
Buchanan,” and was tlamkjul and delighted with
the opportunity afforded the Convention of ex
pressing their gratitude to Mr. B. (if wejudge from
the vote given and the enthusiasm with which it
was announced) “of the Democratic and National
principles declared and set forth in his Inaugural
Address and Annual Messages upon the subject of
slavery.”
We were not so much surprised at the opposition
by some of the members to that resolution, borne
doubtless had better memories than the Keprc-
sentative from the first Congressional district,
and had not forgotten that Mr. Buchanan had said
iu days past, “that he thanked God that lie had not
been born in a slave State, &.c"; and further, they
still had a very lively recollection of a third resolu
tion passed two years ago, and the secret tui
tions of Mr. Buchanan to oue Gov. Walker of Kan
sas. and the refusal of Mr. B. to recall said TV alker
when so instructed by the G sorgia Democracy; the
refusal of which did not accord with his Inaugural
Address or his A luiual Messages. But suffice it for
us to say, that a number of democrats did forget
that little Walkei-Buehauan affair, and the de
mocracy forgetful of the past and regardless of the
future, have committed their party to toe Admin
istration upon that, point, preferring still to judge
the Administration by its words rather than its
actions.- Such is modern Democracy, and we should
not be too severe in our judgment upon its actions.
To have acted otherwise, would not have been
Democracy. The third resolution gave Gov. Brown
a hearty endorsement. He deserved all lie got
from his party, and if Gov. B. had not done as well
as he has, the Democracy of Georgia would live
only in name. If it shJl still continue victorious;
it will be through the merits of only one man,
independent of the Cincinnati Platform, Mr.
Buchanan’s Inaugural or his Messages; for they
are but as mill stones around the neck of Go,.
Brown, and wilt if any thing can, defeat him.
The Hon. Henry K. Jackson, of Chatham, was
vociferously called for after tlie Convention had
finished its business. He opened his speech with
several beautiful rhetorical figures, endeavoring to
erse matters as much as possible and put tlie Con
vention in goed humor with Mr. Buchanan, llis
speech was short, and tlie Convention was fully
satisfied that all that could be said, had been said
and they had better drop the subject which was
done, no body else being called upon.
Unexpectedly to the Convention, the Committee
that was appointed to inform Gov. Brown of his
re-nomination, went immediately to the Executive
Department and returned with the Governor, in
forming the Convention, that they had pursued an
extraordinary course iu presenting Gov. Brown to
them. Tlie Governor was greeted with long and
loud cheers. He took the Speakers stand
and his remarks will be found in another
place. The Governor indulged, as will be seen, in
some good humored and playful remarks w ien
speaking of the Opposition. If lie has opposition,
and beats us as far as he anticipates, we will be
beaten indeed; but that remains to be seen, as we
would inform His Excellency.

Public Meeting in Pike.
At a public meeting held in Zebulon on the 14th
inst., to appoint Delegates to the Gubernatorial
and Congressional Conventions, the following res
olutions were passed :
The name American is ours in a national capaci
ty, and we still cherish it with pride over ail other

tionality.
Resolved, 1st, That in theopinionof this meeting
there is no national party now in the Union ; that
the Black Republican party is a sectional organ

question of slavery ; and that the Democrats North
are unsafe, unreliable, and unworthy of our confi-

Political.
As an obscure member of the American Party, I
very much regret the call for a Convention. But
as it lias been done, I trust that no further action
will be taken by it, when assembled, than simply
to sum up the agrievances of the present Demo
cratic Administration, and signify, by resolution, a
determination to rally around
standard bearer in (lie next Guberna
torial election, who desires a correction of the abus
es complained of, or any portion of them, and thus
leave the field open to the spoits-loving Democracy.
Why should we continue to sacrifice good men
for the glorious privilege of keeping Democracy
organized Mid triumphant l For one, I must con-
better ; and we desire to fight under it until we can ;
conquer, and when the Opposition party shall ride |
in power and correct the abuses of the General j
Government, then we may, aud will give onr •
ourselves a name that points to our policy and our 1
principles. We would say to our friends then, let
us rest content with our new name; there is point, :
force and rebuke in it, and modern National De- ■
raocracy feels and winces under it. f
We cordially invite into our ranks those men
of all parties, who are willing to “leave their friends i
and stick to their country,” who love principle j
more than men—who love the honor and glory of j
their country, more than the liouor and glory of a
party. Let those then, who are honest enough !
to admit that the present National Administration J
is a failure, and cau only endorse Mr. Buchanan’s |
inaugural address and messages upon the slavery j
question, come forward, and like men, help us put j
the government upon a broad national platform,
and not a sectional one.

As our neighbor of tlie Federal Union takes un

deem it necessary at tiffs tiuie, to answer the question

“One of the Uutorrified” of his party thinks, that

The National Administration Dead.
What a profound bow Mr. Buchanan should
make to the Georgia Democracy through lffs mo st
excellent friend and adviser, the Hon. Howell
Cobb, for the one short resolution passed, by the
late Democratic State Couveution, endorsing his
most glorious administration for what could bo

and his Annual messages upon the subject of slave
ry l Mr. Buchanan can truly exclaim, is that all
the Georgia Democracy can say for my administra
tion ? Iliad rather it should have given me the
“charity of its silence” than thus to have placed
me in such an‘ungracious’position. Have I done
nothing worthy of special praise.—has my admin
istration so far been a blank ? Are there no living
issues, (not my words) that mark my administra
tion ? Could you have not thanked me for fighting
Douglas ? Could you not thank me for begging
Gov. Walker to resign his Governorship of Kansas?
Look at my administration and say, if I did not de
serve something better at your bands? But no! I am
repudiated ! I am disgraced before the Democracy
of the Empire State of the South ! You have hurt

Those innocent individuals who suppose that the
spirit of the opponents of loco focoism in those re
gions over which it has held sway for some years
past, says the Philadelphia Daily Mews of the 15th>
has been crushed out by adverse circunisatnces,
will feel relieved when they read the following card
of J. S. Slaughter, Esq., of Atlanta, Georgia.

If every member of the opposition in the South,
were embued with the same spirit, there would soon
be a dreadful slaughter of Bucliananism and Seees"

our Uuiou.
Law School at Athens
From a circular wbicliwc have received, over the
signature of Jos. Henry Lumpkin, Wm. II. Hull,
and Tlios- R. K. Cobb, we learn that these gentle
men will open a Law School in Athens, on the first
of October next, in connection with the University
of Georgia. The year is to be divided into two
sessions—the first extending from the 1st of Octo
ber to the 1st of February—the second from the 1st
of April to the 1 st of August. Price of tuition $50
per session, and $5 for Diploma.
The high character of the gentlemen having
charge of the Athens Law School, as legal men,,
will no doubt secure for it a liberal patronage.

of hundreds—not to say thousands—of the voters
of Georgia. We are heartily tired, Mr. Editor, of
being yelped up to Conventions, by newspaper
presses, with the full assurance, at the same time,
that defeat and death must be the result, d confer,
to you I do uot understand the philosophy of such
a course.
Let Democracy alone, aud it would soon burst
asunder, as it is held together (as Mr. Calhoun ex
presses it) by nought, save the cohesive power of
public, plunder—the five loaves and the two little fish

The Central Committee, I see, have declined t<5
call a Convention, and have saddled the newspaper
presses with the responsibility of the present move
ment. To have acted consistently and with a just
regard to their own opinions as to the expediency or
inexpediency of ealiing a Convention —having de
cided not to do so, it then became a duty which
they owed to themselves to denounce the press.
Since writing the above, in a conversation with
a party friend, ho thinks I have misapprehended
the present opposition movement contemplated-
That an “Anti-Brown Convention” is the movement
understood. If so, all right. That will take like
hot cakes. I write understandingiy.
Respectfully, yours, Ac.. W. M. E.
roll THE recorder.
Mr. Bayne in his valuable work, “Tlie Christian
Life, Social and Individual,” lias uttered some
memorable words ou “Modern Doubt.” “As we
look backward,” as he says, “over the path of man
kind, we discern opinions of all sorts maintained
by all orders of talent; from belief in transubstan-
tiation to belief in nothing, all beliefs*liave had
their able advocates. Wluitcver may have been
the earnestness or ability with which men have
followed particular theories in other ages, Mr.
Bayne maintains that in this day, there is a ten
dency to-doubt. Men may be very zealous in ad
vocating particular theories and pressiug certain
reformatory measures, yet soon begin to question
the correctness of these theories and measures, be
cause they arc not sure that they are based
truth. Men may think that they have found the
truth, but after-experience reveals to us a fearfiq
wreck.
Mr. B. illustrates this by reference to an Arabian
tale. We find there recorded the fate of a vessel,
whose pilot steered her unfortunately into thq too
close vicinity ox a magnetic mountain. The n..
were all attracted, the planks felt asunder, and to
tal wreck ensued. It is no uncommon thing, at
present, to see a man sailing in the vessel of his
belief and appearing to do well enough. But he
nears some new system of philosophic or theologi
cal thought, or comes within the influence of some
man with overwhelming powers. This is the mag
netic mountain. It at once draws out the connect
ing aud riveting points of his faith, and his whole
ship, himself sprawling among the severed tim
bers, lies scattered wide oil the tossing sea. But
he manages to gather together the floating wreek ;
lie repairs lffs belief, aud again sets sail. Lo ! an
other magnetic mountain; the nails are again fly
ing ; again he lies discomfited among waves and
mere confused planks. His courage dees not quite
fail, however; yet again he gets piece to piece,
and, under a new phase, once more sets forth ; aud
so it proceeds, mountain after mountain, and phase
after phase, tlie whole voyage being taken up ei
ther in refitting, or in proclaiming that now at
last a balmy and salubrious region bas been enter
ed, that ail siiips ought to sail on this tack, and
that the last magnetic mountain (the head of the
next just becoming visible iu the horizon) is posi
tively the last in this world.”
The inference from ali this is, that men ought
not to ride hubbies—to believe that they are in
the right and all others in the wrong. They ought
not to be conceited and vain-glorious, as though all
wisdom would die with themselves. They must
not rely on human judgment, but on divine teach
ings. The only source ot truth is the Word of
of God. The great principles which it inculcates
lie at the basis of all true knowledge, and they
alone are safe and free from noxious error, who go
to that Word with simplicity of purpose—w ith hu
mility of heart, aud with filial affection, and say—
“speak, Lord, for thy servant heareth.”
FOR THE RECORDER.
A child, when asked why a certain tree grew
crooked, replied, “Somebody trod upon it, I sup
pose, when it was little.”
Such was tlie explanatiou of this fact iu nature.
The child, young us he was, gave the true solution.
The pressure of a foot, or some other slight cause,
so wounded the tree when “it was little,” that it
bore, ever after, the marks of that early injury. So
it is—the distorted trunk, or the gnarled and un-
sightly excresscncc that comes, it may be, from the
boring of an insect, are lifting their voices to tell
the effects of latent and far-reaching influences.
But the lesson is uot confined to tress alone.
Who has uot kuown that the child has received a
wound iu early life, from which he never recovers ?
The inau is cross-grained aud out of shape—un
happy himself and causing pain to others, because
there was some injury to his nature when young.
There \vas some blow—some unkind word, or an
gry look that could not be forgotten, and the re.
raembrance of the wrong was buried in the heart
to show itself in the perverseness, obstinacy and
revenge of later years. Alas! there are too ma'iiy
cases, we fear, where the whole charaete? for life
lias beeu injured and distorted by influences in
childhood, which were deemed slight at first, but
which were enduring in their results. The fact is
suggestive. It enforces the duty of watchfulness
and care on the part of parents and all others who
have the oversight of children and youth. They
cannot be too particular in avoiding all injurious
impressions—neither too solicitous to heal the
wounded spirit, before.-it bears an tigly scar.
Foft words and kind looks! How far they go for
good in this rough and jostling world !

- OBITUARY.
Died in Abbeville District, S. C., on Mon day
morning, June IJtb, after a short illness, Susan
M. Hunter, wife of Benj. T. Hunter, and daugh
ter of the late F. V. DeLaonay ; aged 22 ycars :
one mouth and twenty days.
“Leaves have their time to fall
And flowers to wither at the North wind’s breath,
And stars to set—but all.
Thou hast all seasons fortliiue own, oh ! Death.”
It is seldom that the pen of the eulogist, or the
promptings of affection, find a lovelier subject to
engage its truth or enlist its sympathies. The
death of this estimable lady has deeply afflicted a
large circle of relatives and friends. Tho heart
must grieve and the eye become moistened at this
truly afflictive dispensation of Providence. Yet
those who loved her best, and had most cause to
regret her sudden departure from earth, bow in
humble submission to the stern decree of our
Heavenly Father who Joeth all things well. As
a sister, she was affectionate and kind ; as a daugh
ter, devoted and thoughtful; as a wife, faithful
and confiding; as a friend steadfast and true. She
was consoled and sustained in her last moments
by a faith in the merits of a Saviour’s blood, which
had never forsaken her in life and health, and
which brightened and grew stronger as she walked
through the valley and shadow of death. Her
life was signalised by daily acts of Christian kind
ness and love. Always consistent, composed and
i considerate of the feelings of others, she was a "very
present help in time of trouble.” She lived and
died a noble example of a christain, and her grave
is bedewed with tears of affection and sympathy,
which never gushed warmer from human hearts.
Why should we mourn for Susie ? She looked to
Jesus, and is comforted.
During the host hours of her illness, she was una
ble, by reason of the severity of her disease, to
converse above a whisper. She requested those
around her to sing for her the Hymn beginning
with the words ‘Jesus, lover of my soul,’ and while
the company was singing, she joined in and sang
tliree'lines, s(/audibly that, her voire was hoard all
over the room. Indeed she almost died with the
words of that beautiful hymn on her lips.
It is gratifying to her immediate family to know
that, though she breathed her life out far from
brothers and sisters, she was blessed during her
illness with the presence of a devoted husband,
who never left her while life lasted, and with kind
friends who supplied her every earthly want.
It may not he amiss to notice here a little cir
cumstance in the life of this excellent lady. While
a student at the Greenesboro’ Female College, she
won the confidence and love of her sister students
and the esteem and admiration' of her Preceptors.
Especially was she a marked object in the estima
tion of Dr. Axon, the worthy head of the Institute.
So iiiiieli attached to her had he become, that when
he heard she would not be likely to return to the
College, he addressed her Guardian and urged him
to permit her to go back for the sake of her exam
ple, and proposed to receive her without charge if
he would give lffs consent. Such a compliment
was no less deserving than honorable.
Her remains were brought to this city on Wed
nesday last and were interred beside those of her
adored mother. As they were being placed in their
earthly repository a bright and beautiful rainbow-
lit up the Southern sky—emblematic of that joy
ous and blessed Hope which animated her s"iil
in life, prefiguring (hat peace and rest beyond the
tomb, prepared for all the saiuts. Oh, Death
where it thy sting; Oh, Grave, where is thy victory.
One who knew her.

[The Reporter is fearful that there may be some I
error in the general news reported above, but he
lias given the substance of the dispatch, asjie |
understands it.)
SECOND DISPATCH.
7’hebattle was fought at the town of Magenta. '
Napoleon’s dispatches claim a decisive victory
and say that tire French took seven thousand Aus- i
trian prisoners, and placed twelve thousand in a
disabled condition. He captured three cannon,
two standards; and estimates their own loss at
three thousand, but it is rumored in Paris that tlie
French loss is Irom nine to twelve thousand.
The forces engaged in the great battle, are
reported to have been from one hundred and fifty'to
one hundred and eighty thousand Austrians, and
from one hundred to one hundred and thirty thou- t
s and French.
The Austrian accounts differ and speak of the
battles with varying success on both sides.
The battle was still undecided on the Gtli ol .
June. !
Great losses on both sides are reported.
Gen. McMahon has been created Marshal and j
Duke of Magenta.
Baragua D’Hillers lias been superceded by
Gc-ii. Forky.
Four Austrian Generals, aud five staff officers
were wounded.
Geu. Hess commanded tho Austrians, and the ■
Emperor Napoleon,the French.
Paris was illuminated when the intelligence of :
the battle was received. ;
Gen. Espenassa was killed. \
Marshal Canrobert was mortally wounded.
There were five French Marshals aud Generals ,
wounded. .
Milan had revolted, and declared in favor of the ‘
King of Sardinia.
The Austrians retired from Milan, but the French '
had not occupied it.
Later rumors from tlie seat of war detract some- !
what from the extent of tlie French victory. •
It was believed that proposals for peace would
follow the entrance of the French into Milan.
Business at the Paris Bourse was active, and
rates ruled higher.
Liverpool, June 8.—The sales of cotton for the
past three business days were 17,600 bales. Tiie
market generally closed, dull with little enquiry,
and feeble prices, and some circulars say' at a
define of id.
Liverpool Breadstuffs Market.—The market closes :
very dull, and all qualities have slightly declined. .
Consols closed at 931 a 93$.
that fixed faith no other con id but a sincere
and true Christian. The writer of this short notice
knew her well, and never did he see her at any
time loose her digniry or the respect she had for
the Church. It is within the recollection of all who
knew Mrs. Stephens, to know she was one of the
kindest neighbors, one of the most benevolent of
her sex, doing good when and wherever she knew
an object worthy. Those who knew her best,
loved her most for her many virtues and great
goodness. Her loss will be feit by her mourning
husband and children; her neighbors will mourn as
will all who knew her. She is gone to “that un
discovered country from whence no traveller re
