&BRIOUHL V* JOHNiON. roR 005QUM-1R WSTWCT. JaUMLM lit llWMdt mUtlon* Mails fo» Havana, and Kkt Wbot.—Wo bato boon liquated to state that the malla for Havana 1 ana Key Wait, to go by the ateamablp JfcoM wuj be doted at the Poatoffloe la tMa city at t o'clock, P. M* on Friday next, the 30th ln»L jwIge Johneon’a Position in 1850. We yesterday, In antwer to the Republican, stated very frankly, ftom memory, what wo believed to bo Judge Johnson’s position In 1850 and *51. Wo havo nlnoe reoelved tho HlUodgevllle Recorder, containing t letter of hla, dated November 6th, 1850, In which hiiviowaai to tho action proper to bo taken by the Oeoivla Convention, then toon to aaaemble, are set fbrthlnthe following words: Then, let the Bret object of our State convention be the construction of a true Southern night* Platform, on which ax»y be rallied and organticd a true Southern Right* Party, irhoee watchword shall be uncompromising hostility to all men and all partiee,elther North or South, who are not only above suspicion, but openly aud unequivocally in fa vor or the conitltutlonal right* of tho South Such a par ty will hold the balance of power between contending as pirant* for the Preatdenej. Ite support and auT.-age will be ooufted by the North ; aud it wlU very noon result in the formation of a second Southern Right* party at tho North, who In their turn, will exort a salutary check upou the action of partlee there. In the second plaoe, I would hare tho convention record the unanimous and itrong protest of Georgia against tho lato acta of Congress, In reference to our Mexican territo ries and her unalterablo determination never to yield an other Inch of ground to Northern encroachments. Thirdly. Let the convention demaud of Cougresa the re peal of Mexican law* in Utah and New Mexico against slavery, so aa to open tho doors to safo emigration thither by the slaveholders of the South. Fourthly. Tba oonvantlun should demand of tho North ern States, as a matter of loyalty to the Constitu*'on, tho repeal or their legislative act, obstructing tho recapture of fugitive slaves, to the end. that the lato statute of Congress may be executed in good faith and without molestation un der the forms or law. Fifthly. The convention should demand of the Northern States that they suppress the abolition agitation, on tho ground, that it endangers the public peace aud puts In Jeopardy the friendly relations between those States. Sixthly. The convention should demand In behalf of the South, perpetual exemption from oil future aggressions. Seventhly. Tho convention should require our State Legislature, to adopt auch measures of legislation os arc necessary to place the State In a condition of the most am ple preparation, to meet all consequences which a contin ued disregard of our rights by tho North, may force upon u*. Let these propositions bo distinctly propounded to the North for their solemn reflection ami to our sister Southern States for their co-operation and adoption. And let ns In vite the latter to send delegates to a Southern Congress, to meet la MllledgeviUe on tho 4th ol July. 1851, not to d'isolve the Union, but to devise measures for their enforcement, with the view to preserve the rights of the South, in lac Union. Now is there any thing in any one of these propositions which the North ought to refuse?—anything dishonorable or humiliating?—anything which Is not strictlv compatible with our federal relations? If there Is, I do not see It, and If there Is. I would Instantly abandon It; for I would de mand nothing that Is wrong. An to the means such a Southern Congress ought to adopt to enforce theso propositions, it would be presumption in me to venture a suggestion. I orefer rather to stand mute before the wisdom of Its counsel and bow submissively to it* decision* I am willing to confide the interest, the hon or and the rights of the South in tho hands of such a body, and sure 1 feel tbat Us moral influence, representing as it would, the patriotism, the Intelligence and Arm resolvo of the South, would bo potent to save the Union and awaken the North to the danger with which their misguided fanaticism has imperiled It. I am aware gentlemon, that thoso who entertain views like these, or who are even opposed to uncomplaining sub mission are branded aa disunionists. But such denuncia tions have no terrors for me. 1 bid them scornful defiance, sustained by a consciousness of their falsehood and of the rectitude and singleness of my .purposes. May a kind Providenco throw over us the broad shield of His protection, and bring light out of darkness and order out of confusion.” Respectfully your Friend and fellow-citizen, ■ HERSCHEL V. JOHNSON. From tho foregoing it will bo seen that tho great object of Judge Johnson in 1850, was to preserve tho Union and tho rights of the South. To carry out this object, ho advocates tho assemblage of a Southern Congress at Milledgeville,— 1 "not to dissolve tho Union, but to deviso measures to preserve the rights of the South, tn the Union.” He believed that tho moral influence of such a convention represent ing the patriotism, the intelligence, and firm resolve of tho South would be potent to suve the Union— auch ia his language. Thus feeling, and thus speak ing, is it strange that he should brand as a falsehood the charge that he was a disuniouist ? This ho did in the fall of 1850. And it deserves to bo treated with, if possible, even les3 eourtesy when brought forward in 1853. The excitement growing out of the passage of the Compromise, furnished some excuso for the use of snch terms as ‘‘disunionists” and’foub- jnissionista” then. But the feeling of that day hav ing fortunately passed away with ila issues, ho who would now riwurn siimi Hpuneia, nnaarvas tnn ■«•... surea of every right minded citizen. Jefferson Davis said in the Senate of the United States in 1850—“ the man here or elsewhere that calls mo a disuuionist shall be answered with a monosyllable.” And though wo give a different answer to the charge when applied to Johnson (who stood with Davis, Huntbb, Mason and Berribn in opposition to tho Compromise) it ia simply os a matter of courtesy*— Truth and justice would both authorize tho employ ment of the harsh, impolito, but very expressivp monosyllable to which Davis referred. • Gen. Fierce** Appointments. Wo have gnod Domocralic authority for saying that Gon. rierco has exclusively appointed Freesollers and Seceasiou- lats to ofllco.—Republican, This statement, bo tho Republican's authority what it may, is utterly false, and by circulating it that pa per only injures its own character. We are astonish ed that its editor, moving daily among appointees whom he knows to bo neither Freesollers nor Seces sionists, should bo so reckless as to use Buch lan guage. Does he think that any one will beitevo him— does he believe himself, when he asserts that James Buchanan, Minister to England, and Wm. L. Maroy, Secretary of State, are Frccsoikrs or Secessionists? Does ho believe himself, when he asserts that Guthrie and Dobbin, and Slidell, and Trousdale, and Henry R. Jackson, are Freesollers or Secessionists 2 We give only a few names—wo might go on indefin itely increasing the list by mentioning men appoint ed by Piebue, whom no one who values character for veracity, would charge with being either Freesoilers or SccC3Bionists. Iu relation to tho appointment of Freesollers, the Washington Union now edited (as is understood) by A. O. P. Nicholson, of Tennessee—a thorough going Union man—holds this language : «• It is unquallddely false tbat ‘ Gon. 1’iorco appoints men tn ofllco bocauso they arc known to be frecsollurs ;> and It is impossible thattho Atlas could have boon ignorant of tho falsehood when it fabricated it. It la, therefore, a deliberate and unmitigated slander. Wo repeato what we have said before—that Gen. Pierce has appointed no man to office knowing or believing him to be a freesoilor ,■ and he stands pledgee to correct any such appointment into which he may have Inadvertently fallen, whoa the fact of present freeaolllsm is fixed on any of the appointees.” In relation to the appointment of secessionists, the New York Democrat, one of the soundest papers in the whole Union, thus speaks : “ Th* President has appointed no secessionist to office, from the fact that lecessionism has no longer an existence, and never will have again while the present democratic nlatform remains the basis of executive and congressional action. Hecesslonism had IU birth (a Northern Interference with the constitutional right* of the South ; but the Na tional Democratic Convention at Baltimore committed the party to an uncompromising and unconditional opposition to nil further agitation of the alavery question, In whatov- er shapo it may come. On the announcement of this dec laration of democratic principles, the secessionists aban doned their organization and came heatily to the support of Gen Pierce. Their record to him as tho nominee of the democratic party was a clean one ; and It was not only an act of political justice, but of wlso party policy, that they should be cordially received and impartially dealt with as democrats, without reference to past and abandoned organ- lzation* There is no secessionist holding ofllco under the administration ; and this ground of whig complaint Is not only unjust, but it la ridiculous. It Illustrates the old adage that ‘ the dog growl* becaasc his own head is sore. 1 ” To tho foregoing wo may adil that wo do not be lieve that ono in twenty or Gen. Pierce’s Southern appointees ever wore Secessionists—that is. men who advocated tho secession of tho Blavo-holding States from the Union. Wo would suggest to our opponents that In abus ing the President as tho Rejntblican Is now doing, they are showing the cloven foot too plainly—for tho puccess of their scheme. Careful as they are in shunning the Whig name, their hostility to tho Demo cratic party and a Democratic administration clearly discloses their true character. Tho party which they are attempting to pass off for something else, is neither more nor less than the Whig party in dis guise. Do they believe tbat Union DeraooraU do not see this? If they trill find themselves grievously mistaken on the day of election. Melancholy Death.—A gentleman from Liberty county writes os, that as a number of gentlemen from Fleralngton, were engaged in a dear hunt on Satur day, the 23d, Capt. T. E. Bake was shot by the acci dental discharge of a gnn In tho hands of ono of they tho party. No other particulars. Capt. B. has left a widow and a large circle of friends and relatives to mourn his untimely fate. Tho Harmonic Minstrolls, after a successful tour abroad, havo returned to tho uccnos of their early fame, and appear In a publlo Concert to-night at tho Athontcnra. Tne houao will, of courso, be filled. / The Exhibition at tub Crystal Palace.—The time for seeing the exhibition to the best advantage bos not yet arrived, only a portion of the articles be ing yet arranged. People in otbor part* of the Union therefore, who intended to visit New York this sum mer with ft view to inspecting the products of the 101 “ poeitlon toward* U?JwKW«i irtbfctpapor U no ro* gftrdteu of its ohaiaoter as to persist* In siylng that Judge Johnbqn Is ft dwumortwt—very wbll. The falsity of tho ohargo having been fully oxposod.lta repetition oonnot injure him. Bat what wo will not quiotly submit to is tho Imputation of having made the same ohargo against Mr. Jknunb. This wo have not dune, ana the Republican knows that we havo not done this. .We simply statod that Mr. Jenkins was a member of tbe nullUloatioji party of 1832 and'33, which wo admitted was not a disunion party in say ing that there never bad been a disunion party in Georgia. Yet tho nullification party, to which Jen kins bolongod, was as much a nullification disunion party os the Southorn Rights party or which Johnson was a member, was a “ Southern Rights disunion party." How the doctrine of nullification can bo car ried into practico without cndangorlng the Union we never oould clearly comprehend. That it (the Union) would have been endangered or dissolved, had Boutli Carolina or Goorgia nullified the Tarriff in 1832, de termined as President Jackson was to Inforce the law at tho point of tho bayunot, wo do not doubt.— Yet Mr. Jenkins, wo presume, with other nulUtlers, then held, and now holds, that his object was viol dis union. This being tho case wo lmvo rather too much respect for ourselves—to auy nothing of others—to assert that ho was, or is, a " disuniouist.” Aud wo hope tho Republican will not again convoy the im pression to its readers that wo havo done tills. As to its roitoratod charge ogninst Judgo Johnson we will now, and liearaftor, when it recurs, during tho can vass, meet it with no other words than the following appended to a lottcr from which we yesterdry made Bomo extracts, written November, 1850: “ I am aware that thoso who entertain views like theso are branded aa (ifruniunist*. But such denunciations have no terrors for mo. I bid them scornful dellanco, sustained by a consciousness of their FALSEHOOD and the reciilwle and tinylmcss of my purposes. Hkrsciiki. V. Johnson.” Democratic Meeting. Savannah, July 20th, 1853. Tho Democratic mooting called to moke arrangements to nominate a ticket for the Legislature, convoned to-night in Oglethorpe Hall. On motion of Mr. Lamar, Dr. R. WAYNE was called to the Chair, and O. T. Howard appointed Secretary. On motiou or Thomas l’urao, Esq., amended by C. A. L.

R. H. Griffin, Esq., in a responsu to a call, addressed the meeting eloquently in favor of the election of Hon. H. V. Johnson, and lion. James L. Seward. He concluded by moviug that the mooting adjourn subject to the call of the Chairman. RICHARD WAYNE, Chairman. G. T. Howard. Secretary. Coiuervntlvc-Republlcnn-Cltlzen*’ Conven tion at Holmcaviile. Messrs. Editors':—I notice a communication In your pa- per of this morning, signed -‘An Eye Witueas.” correcting the statement made to you,and published in your paper on the 24tli, In which he says that the Convention was a most harmonious one, and ho—Mr. Eye Witness—“ was under the impression that not a member of the Convention went away dissatisfied.” Now, sir, if this Eye Winess wishes names given, he shall have them. One of the delegates withdrew directly after the ballotings, and before the announcement of the vote, aud called upon several gentlemen to notice the fact. And another member Btated, after the Convention that he did not vote “at all” when the nomination was made unanimous, and since tho nomination, has declared his unwillingness to support the nominee. If this is har mony, it must be CunscrvaHve-Ite^.ubUcnn harmony. Yours, Ac., Another Eyb Witness. July 20tb, 1853. For the Savannah Georgian. Miluiaven*, Liiiertv Co., July 21st, 1853. Editors Georgian, Gexti-khkn : Ou my return homo to-day I read, for the first time, a communication iu your paper over tho sigi ture of Thomas.” in reply to one from myself, published on the 30th of June, over the signature of *' Georgia.” Iu reading this remarkablo document of two mortal culumns. in which tho writer seemed determined to make up iu quantity what ho lackod in quality, I was compelled invol untarily to exclaim. save mo from my friends.” If Col Soward is elected it will not be on account of the discretion of the champion of his cause, and most redoubt- nble knight of the quill, ‘-Thomas ;” but in spite of him. Ho will owe his success, not to tho very logical deductions, charitable statements, gentlemanly comparisons, bold as- sumptions, and charges of dishonorable motives therein contained against those who bappon to think diffcroutly from •* Thomas,” ns to tho mode and manner nv>st proper to be adopted iu bringing out a candidate for Congress ; but ho will owe it to the manly and straight-forward course which he pursued at tho Democratic Convention nt Holms- However grievously Col. Seward and ids friends may have sinned against Democratic usages, in the mode und manner they adopted iu bringing him out, which Cot. 8 was shrewd enough to see. (if *• Thomas ” could not see it.) would have utterly defeated him; he, on that day and on that occasion, made the amende honorable so far as was in his power, by fully nnd freely ottering tn submit himself to the will of his party iu Convention, or any other inode that might bo adopted to ascertain the will of that party ; aud by fully ami publicly declaring himself a Democrat. It whs this that induced Col. Guuldeu to withdraw the use of his name, by which Col. Seward received the recom mendation of the Convontiou. which recommendatiou will. I hope, bo snstaiuod by his triumphant election on tho first Monday In October. His exceedingly disagreeable to Georgia” to bo drawn into a further discussion of theso matters, oh such discus sion wilt be productive of no good. Rut he cannot, in jus tice to himself, let “ Thomas ” pass without refuting tho charges against his motives made by *■ Thomas.” aa also to expose the miserable sophistry which the over-woaning vanity nnd self-complacency of “ Thomas ” induces him, iu his conclusion, to call “ facts nnd logic.” It is most obvious that tho greator part of this letter Is an insidious attempt to convey the charge that “ Georgia opposed tho independent candidacy of Col. Seward, aud fa vored a Convention bocauso ho (•• Georgia ”) hoped to bo nominated by this Convention himself; or, in other words, that it was not in accordanco with Democratic usago to bring out their candidates by Conventions of the party and that u Georgia's ” efforts to got up a Convention were from selfish motives. Of those two propositions iu their order: And now, ,s Thomas,” I would ask you, as an hon orable man, to say where is a scintilla of proof that •• Geor gia ” was seeking this nomination ? That ho had in any manner sought it or desired it? If there is any such proof speak out to tho Democracy of tho district, and let them know it, or else admit Hint you have done •-Georgia” great injustice. Is tliis proof to bo found in the fact that “ Geor gia." some time since, wrote and published a letter, in which ho distinctly refused to be a candidate unless fairly nominated ? That in that event he would bo bound, under tho rule which ho thought imperative, (that office was nelthor to be sought or rejected.) to accept, though it would be at a heavy pecuniary sacrifice. Is this proof to bo found tn any letter that “ Georgia ” has written, solicit ing aid or support from any man or set of men. to nomi nate him ? Is it to be found in any veroal or oral applica tion made to any one for this purpose ? If so. let •‘Thomas” produce the letter or tho man. Is it to be found iu the fact, that previous to “Georgia's" leaving home for the Convention, and before he could possibly foresee whother the Convention would be a full one, that ho announced to his friends, and to the Liberty delegation, that he should at tend the Convention not to procure his own nomination, hut that of Wm. H. Stiles, nnd that he would only consent to allow his name to go before tho Convention in the event that “Georgia’s ” friends could not be induced to take up Mr. Stiles ? Is It to bo found in the fact, Hint so soon Col. 8. assumed what “Georgia” believed to bo tho right position, thnt all opposition was withdrawn ? Is it to be found in the fact, that the acceptance of a seat In Congress by him, would bo at a sacrifice of mnny thousand dollars? I trust that the day is far distant when “.Georgia” will at tempt to obtrude, intrudo, or Intrigue himself into tho po ■ition of tho candidate of nny party. But I think I can truly say, that whatever disposition has been manifested to honor mo with a seat In Congress, has been tho volun tary offering ot friends, the result, no doubt, more of their partiality than of any merit of my own. “ Georgia” said, in the letter referred to, that those who wore concerned in forcing Cel- Seward on tho party, (Demo cratic) “contrary to all its usages,” ho. Upon tills "Thom as ” charges Ignorunco of Democratic usages on “Georgia,” and then sots about very logically to instruct “Goorgia” what ts Domocruliu xtXige. Tho idea conreyed ia “ Geor gia's ” letter was, that tho position of Col. Seward was con trary to Democratic rule. Now let us see what Is Demo- cratic rule or usage (for they are convertible terms) in reference to bringing out their candidates. “Thomas” would do well, before ho sots himself up for a public In structor, to bt sure that he is competent to the discharge of so important a duty. In ascertaining what a rule or usage is, it Is necessary, first, to look to the rule Itself; next, to when, wh*re and how often this rule ha* been practiced or exercised In a particular manner. And It (a generally tho custom, the usage, tho goneral practice, that make* the rule. Now, what Is the Democratic practice ?— In looking to tho history of tho party, do w* not find that they nominate regularly their candidate for President ?• Where i* the district in Georgia that does not nominate their candidate* for Congress by Conventions T Has not the Democracy of tho First Congressional District alway* nominated their candidates by Conventions, until the case of Col. Jackson? And his caso Is tho exception and not tho rule. Yet tills most learned Theban and wnnhl-be mas ter of logic takes tho exception for tho rule, aud tell* “Georgia” that he will instruct him in Democratic usage. Is this “ classical 1" Wilt thou answer “ Thomas ?” Is this tho way you understand logic at your •' end ?'* Now, I would respectfully say to “ Thomas,” that tho candidacy of Col Jackson wa* anomalou*, peculiar, and way analogous to that of Col. Boward. At that time the party was In a great measure supposed to be broken up. The heart* of the Democracy *cemed to be dead within thorn. The peoplo generally took no interest Inour party affair*. Then It wa* competent for the Representative* at MllledgeviUe to nominate him. Thi* ha* reference to hi* first nomination.

And a llttio further on, In this same most Christian and charitable letter, wherein he manifests *uch high regard for that holy command which directs us to Judgo not lost we bo judged, he says: “Cannot Colonel Reward nnd his frteuds say to his party In tho oast, thnt it is but fair that the west should havo a representative without making themselves obnoxious to a charge or designing sectionalism, more especially when her first class statesmen lmvo declined offering tliuir services to tho country ? » Now, doos “Thomas ” believo that the first class states men of tho oust, all the old panel Democracy of tho east, hod declined in favor of tho Candida to of the west ?

But he said, *• weep not 1 It 1s better yonder; and you will all follow soon.” When the little boat returned and took away the mother, the children wept still more. But she also said," weep not! In the better land we shall all meet again." At last came the boat to take awny the two child ren.

Does he not know that he also is a neophyte, and by the record it will be proved that he Is a younger neo phyte than “Georgia ” And now, “ Thomas.” I will ask you a question—If it wero not for these satuo neophytes who hare come into your ranks, by wlmt process of arithmetic could you cipher out oven a remote hope that you could elect your candt date ?

Wlmt, •• Thomas," wlmt ? •• Thomas ” sceins to have a holy horror of conventions, because thoy sometimes get packed and do wrong. I would ask him wlmt good thing is not liable to abuse ? I am informed, by history, that our holy religion 1ms been the pretext for shedding more blood than probably nny other institution. How many judicial murders aud legalized robberies has “Thomas ” ever known perpetrated under color of law? His answer would be. many. Yet I apprehend that lie would not.ou this account, banish religion from our country, and break up our courts, nnd destroy our court houses. It is truo that our conventions nro too often filled by briefless lawyers, nnd men of desperate furtuqcs from nil professions, who would gain an ephemeral notieo by obtru ding themselves into these places, nnd by mtching on to tho tail of a candidate, thereby hopo to cat of the crumbs thnt fall from tho rich man’s table. And pray. “ Thomas,” whoso fault is it ? Does this state of things originate from any fault or defect in the system? Does it not rathor result from the fact that our business men. tho bone nnd sinew of tho couutry. and bettor citizens, too oft en refuse to neglect their business to ntteud these conven tions, and would rather risk tho most disastrous cou.se- qucnces to ttieir party or country, iu preference to putting themselves to a little trouble ? As to tho challenge of “Thomas ” to come out under my truo name, I would remark that, from his twenty-five years servico. uiimcardol in the Democratic muse, ho may be de sirous of seeing his immn in print. I hare no such ambi tion, and never appear even under an nnnoymous one. ex cept on some urgent necessity. I shall not. therefore, fur nish him the pretext for getting his nauio before tho public. “ Thomas ” can, if he does not already know my name, get it whenever ho wishes. A word more nnd I am done. “ Thomas ” asks, have we ever had a represontativo from what is called the wire-gras* region—if not, when are wo to have one ? Let “ Georgia ” nnd n few others speak, nnd the answer would be, never ! never! Now, it happens that “Georgia’’ wns not only born but raised in this samo wire-grass region, lias lived in it all bis life, and probably owns, plants nnd cultivate* more of tide samo w ire-grass land than - Thomas” nnd Col. Seward, both put together. It would follow, then, accord ing to tho logic of “Thomas,’’ that “Georgia” ought to be the roproseutaUvo, and uut Col. 8. How utterly futile, then, this attempt of “Thomas” to create tbe impression thnt “Georgia” was opposed to tho wire-grass intorest. As soon would I opposo the interest of tho mother that boro me. In conclusion. I would any to “Thomn*” that I have en deavored to pen this article in no unkind spirit, but only in my dcfenco. I do not desire to continue this wnr. My time and that of “Thomas” will now bo better employed in forwarding tho interest of tho Democratic party, by electing Col. Seward. Standing where lie now stands, I can see no reason why tiro party should not rally to his support. 1 for one—if ••Thomas” will allow a neophyte to do so—expect to give him my humble support. Respectfully yours. Georgia, Correspondence of the Savannah Dolly Georgian. Lndian Springs, July 26th, 1853. Edixrs of the Georgian, Gentlemen ;—When I parted with you I promised, In the language of the immortal Mlcawbor, that, should “any thing turn up,” I would write to you : No sucli important event having as yet transpired, I feel that I can go no farther until I have privately acknowledged tho courtesy received at your hands, during my stay in Savannah ; and, wero I not afraid of giving offence, I would also publicly acknowledge mnny other little cordialities nnd courtesies received at the hands of your fellow-towusinen, who, I kuow, wfluid shrink from publicity ; yet, I desire that thoy should know that there bo Northmen who enn appreciate a Southron’s hospitality, and that their mnny pteasant faces are so daguerreoiyiied upon memory that it will require long years of travel to elfaco them. With a strangor, a kind word and a heart-warm pressure of tho hand, aro things not easily forgotten. It was but a brief stay that I made among you, yet in that poriod, brief as it was, there wero impressions mado that caused me to feel, when preparing fur a departure, that I was gathering up Hues that had been cast in pleasant places, and when I wns fairly underway, it seemed tbat ties again had been severed of something more than common friendship. ’Tis over thus with the traveller—he gathers flowers but to strew them by tho waysido,and no sooner gains n foretaste of thoso social joy* that constitute a homo, than tho hour of departure arrives—the little altar he has raised is dashod to the ground, and iu proportion aa his stay has been pleasant so is ids departure painful. After a delightful night’s ride, I found myself at Macon ; and I can adduce no stronger argument in favor of tho Central Railroad than tho simplo fact that, within half an hour after our departure from the dopot, I fell off Into a quiet slumber, (wh’en I dreamed of homo and happy faces.) without first having taken the precaution to say my prayers and make my will—certain little precautions never omitted when about to resign one’* self in the car* and keeping of a northern driver of the modern improved Car of Jugger naut I wa* not out of dream-land but once on the route, and that was for the purpose of tasting some of the solid joys of a world of realitie*.

June 23rd. Tlie Victoria Itcgla In Illoom. A note from Mr. J. Fish Allen, of Salem, informs us that his celebrated flower, tho Victoria Begin, bloomed yesterday afternoon, nnd is to-day going through its various changes. Another bud is nt the top of the water, and a third is coming up. The Salem Gazette of tills morning says : All who have been cognizant of the immense pains the watchful and skillful care, ami the imtient assi duity of Mr, Allen, in connection with tliis splendid plant, will rejoice to learn that itlms nt length reach ed its full development, nud produced a perfect flow er. The hud came to the surface of the water on Wed nesday of last week, six months after the first start ing of the seed : nince which lime it Inis V wn ■dourly swelling and bursting its outward cerements, until yesterday afternoon, about 5 o'clock, when it began rapidly to open. To-day it will be in its fullest glory —a sight for a century. Another bud has risen to the surface of the water, where, however, it keeps hut a portion of the time—spending, like its predecessor, every night, and a part of each day, beneath the sur face. This is the first plant that has bloomed in this coun try North of Philadelphia. As tho seed vegetated at mid-Winter, and no tire heat, or artificial warming of the water was used after the first of Juue, this result may be considered os satisfactory. Couldn’t lie Choked OIT. The Clinton Cuurant tells a story of a rural philos opher, who had somewhat advanced in years without learning much of the mysteries of nature. What knowledge the old gentleman hud gleaned wns en tirely independent of science. Ho did not kuow whether a microscope was “ something to ent or r new Tangled forming machine." A young friend, fresh from school, once paid him a visit, and was very anxious to enlighten the old man on the wonders of the microscope, a specimen of which he carried about him. While the old philosopher was making a frugal meal in the field at noon, the youth produced his mi croscope and explained its operation, which he illus trated by exhibiting its power upon several bugs and minute atoms of animate matter at hand. To his surprise, the aged pupil did not manifest much as toiiisliment, nud, stung hy his indifference, ho de tailed to him how many scores of living creatures be devoured at every mouthful, and in each drop winch quenched bis thirst. At this his hearer was scepti cal ; to prove the fact, the boy snatched from bis hand a chunk of rich cbee.se which he was then de vouring, and placing it under the magnifier, the mass of wriggling auiuiuiculte was triumphantly pointed at. The old man gazed upon tho sight indifferently, nnd at length, with the utmost nonchalance, took another huge bite. Don't,” exciaimbd the boy, ‘ don't eat Tt, Uncle Ben ; ’em squirm and wriggle! don’t you sco ’em ? Sec Let 'em wriggle!" said the old philosopher, muncliingaway calmly, '• they’ve got the worse on’t, if they kin staiT it I kin," and he deliberately finished his meal I From tbe N. Y. Times. Kcv. Dr. lve*. The Freeman's Journal contradicts the rumor that Rev. Dr. Ives, late Episcopal Bishop of North Caro lina. was about to be divorced from bis wife, that he might enter the Roman Catholic Priesthood fluid pub lishes, in support of its denial, the following extract from a letter of Dr. Ives, dated Rome, June 8, and ad dressed to Rev. Dr. Forbes, of this city, and evident ly written in the confidence of friendship : “ A few weeks since, to our utter astonishment, af ter. as I told you, having made arrrngements for set tling every debt in North Carolina, I received from Rev.

Theodore Parker, of that city. The original of the picture is understood to be a highly esteemed resident of Newton:— •' The happiest man I have ever known ia ono far enough from being rich in money, and who will never bo very much nearer to it. H!b calling tits him, aud lie likes it, rejoices in its process as much os in its result. He has an active mind, well filled. He reads nnd he thinks. He tends his garden every morning before sunrise; then rides sundry miles hy the rail, does his ten hours’ work in the town; whence he re turns happy and cheerful. With his own smile he catches the earlist smile of the morning, pluck* the first me of hla garden, and goes to his work with the little flower in his hand, and a great one blossoming ont of his heart. He runs over with charity as a cloud with rain ; and it is with him as with the cloud— wlmt, coining from the cloud, Is rain to tho madows, is a rainbow of glories to tho cloud that pours it out. Tho happiness of tho affections fills up tbo good man and ho runs over with frienahip and love—connubial his to save his life, as well as to bo true to his princi ples, is not certain. Slavery may, in its madness, de mand another sacrifice. It may demand another Crandall, Lovejoy or Torrcy to appease its bloody wrath. But we turn from tlie horrid thought. Let them touch a hair of his head ; let tlie assassin knife of slavery be drawn down upon him, ami the life of a slaveholder would not be worth u sixpense in any Tree state of the Union. Unseen hands, moved by love- kindled vengeance, would lie in wait for the murderers. Newport, Saratoga aud Niagara Kails would become dangerous places. There would be white men and coloiad men nil over tills North land, who would look upon tlicir lives as worthless iu a country where the people’s chosen man foils by tho assassin's stce'.— Let them touch him. To do so would be tho cliiccx of that madness which precedes destruction.” And what does the reader suppose is the climax to tlie ridiculous lint nevertheless mischievous fanfitrade? Attcr gloating over the picture, and Inciting thought** of vindictive assassination and certain revenge, this slanderer of our national legislators exclaims, “ But the thing will not be done. Gcrrit Smith will be in Congress, as at home,-Mn Washington, as nt Peter- horn,—loved, respected, honored.” Then why does Douglass him. »lf indulge, and to others suggest with such elaborate distinctness of language, thoughts of assassination nud revenge ?—jV. Y. Commercial. Asleep by Daylight. Well, that is not out of the way for aditors, sailors and watchmen, who, like beasts of prey, work all night. They must sleep, of course, or their life in surance policies will be paid over to their widows p. .'maturely. “ Sleep or die” is tho doctor’s senten tious remark about ius patient suffering under “ the horrors,” and it is as true of sound, sober men, as of those who are tormented of the devils that haunt men shivering with delirium tremens. But if a sound man, who sleeps well all night, is caught in a mid-day nap, it is very proper for him to apologize. To sleep, while better men are rackiug their brains for thoughts that will bo serviceable,—are starling tlie sweat from their brows by hard and earnest manual lubor, wield ing axes, bearing burdens, hastening by expresses,— exemplifying all forms and styles of industry, this is a shame for full-grown men to do. To wake suddenly and hear the sounds of industry ail around,—the clink of hammers, tlie rattling of carta, the shouts of children to eacli other at their sports, and then to come back to one’s own dull half-sick self,—it is enough to mnko one solemnly aver that henceforth he won’t ever do the tiling again.

The man who fears to enter into an examination of the foundation of ids opinions and belief— being capable of so doing—and will not take consideration of any train of counterargument, must have some latent apprehensions of their unsoundness, and ina bility of supporting investigation. This spirit is at strict variance with that feeling of caudid fearlessness which characterises a mao in search after Truth. A great, deal of invective lias beon showered on free-thinking. The only objection worthy of consid eration ia, that free thinking may lead to false con clusions—but then, the probable result would not be worse than that of being led by the thinking of others.
