The Beggar Woman Once in a time of famine an un known beggar woman, poorly but . cleanly clad, went through a cer tain village asking alms. From some houses she was sent away with rough words ; at others | site received a very small gill; only I one poor gardener, as she was very told, invited her into his warm room; and liis wife, who had just baked l akes, gave her a nice large piece. The next day all the people at whose door the beggar woman had railed, were invited to supper in the Queen’s palace. When they came into the dining room they beheld a small table ladened with the richest food, and also a large table with many plates on which there was here and there a piece of mouldy , bread, a few artichokes, or a hand ful of bran, hut they for the most part the plates were entirely empty. The Queen said : “i was myself that beggar woman in disguise, wish ing, in this time of distress, when the poor arc in such great need, to prove the charity <>t my people.— Those two poor gardeners took me ; in and entertained me as l**st they t could ; hence thev will now eat vrith im-.and 1 wilt tix a pension l>r lite <ui them. The ,rest of yon will en tertain yourselves with the same fare wfiich you gave me, and which \-ou will find on these plates. ‘A ith ilds. remember that in the future world you will also one day be served as you serve others.

Axi I’.uws, —I find in the Daily An gusta Constitutionalist the following remark aide words in an editorial comment on a portion of liiii a reeeut letter to Col. Dudley : “iu other words, the Democratic party in iis Dext national platform will not insist upon the passage of a slave code tor Territories,’’ that is, the editor of the Constitutionalist is opposed to Congress pas- : ng laws to protect the Southern man with his property in slaves in the Territories. Horace Greely, too, is op posed to Congress making laws to protect the rights of the slave-holder in the Territo ru s. V, by is it—how is it—you find an ed itor in Georgia opposing the declaration and .judgment of die Supreme Court of the United States i Is it that Douglass niv be mace to appear lovely to the South and terrib’e to the North? The Supreme Court of the United Suites says: “And no words can be found in tne Constitution which gives Congress a gTeafer power over slave property, or which entities property of that kind to less profec 'm than property of any other description. 1 ut onlj/jHJtcejr conferred is the pover coupled u ith tfte <luly oj guarding and protecting the cut: tier in !*is right*. ’ Mr. Hill onlv insists upon the exercise of the right fiiat the Su preme Court of the I nited States and arg?iP3 the slave-holder is entitled to protection in the Territories. The Court rays, the only power conferred on Congress by the Con stitution is the (tidy to ynaal au 1 protect the Citizen in Lis property. Mind you, the Court not only says it is the duty to protect the lave-holder iu his rights in the Territories, ait that it is the duty of Congress to guard ; as well as protect the owner in his rights in ,ue TerritoriaK.

Eu men, in the Citizen of week before last, seems quite surprised that a letter should be addressed by Col. Hunter to Hon. How ell Cobo, soliciting information a3 to the truth or fa! ; Ity of the charge made against Mr. Buelmnar, vie., that ho had in some way or other, “expressed his regret that lie could not appropriate the money of the Govern ment to the education of the Africans of the > ave ship. Echo.” Berrien says, “If Col. Hunter had examined the records of the , country, he eonkl without sending a letter to \\ ashington, have been correctly inform ed about the captured negroes ot the Echo.’’ r his was not the subject on which Col. 11. desired inlot (nation. What he (Col. II.) Wi.-oed to kuow was. wh -tber the IV-i- Geui had appropriated, or w3 willing to up propnata, trie money of the Government to the “s-hoolirg ’ cf thrso captured Africans us tea* chary- dby Jus enemies. The “public iecorif-’ ate kipt at YS ashington, and it was at this place the information was souglu IVhb was more likly iu know and state the fac's truly than a representative of Geer* gia, in the President's Cabinet? Mr. Cobb it p-r.ds to the call, and says the charge is totally false. ■ Bi-rrieD, notwithstanding the positive de r.ial of Mr. Cobb, re-r (firms the charge, and tells his reailers “not to be mislead by any ib.ng Mr. Cobb or any hotly else may say, but to go to the records of the country.” What “records does Berrien produce to support this unrounded charge against Mr- Buchanan ? . An extract simply from Air. B.’s annua! menage to Congress, in which the President tel s Congress that “an agreement was en tered into with the Colonization Society, un tier which the Society engaged for the eon- j of $45,000, to receive these Afri cans in Liberia from the Agent of the United States, and furnish them durirg the period of one year thereafter with comfortable shel ter, clothing, provisions, and medical atten dance, causing the children to receive school ing, and ail, whether children or adults, to be instructed in the arts ol civilized life, suitable to their condition” Tins extract lrorn the Message, miarjtlain ( l. might authorize the inference or conclu sion for which Berrien contends, viz., that ‘ Mr. Bucbanin in the agr-mvnt entered into w ith the Colonization Society, did stipuluk t ial the schooling ol ihocliildrcn of iliese captured Africans, M upon their return to L'- licfia, fhonid constitute a part of the consul- ! cration of the contract, and Was ~u e u p q, c ; conditions upon which the was to* i be paid to the Colonization Society. Tlis const ruction was put on the nt—rage I alter the adjournment of Congress, and the charge now made by Berrien, went the rounds cf tlie Opposition papers in Georgia. At 1 ‘bgt.h tiic lion. Janies Jack-on. member . of Congress from Georgia, on the htkh May last, addressed a letter himself to Air. Cobb upon this abject, which letter Air. Cobb an swered. If Mr. Cobb can be relied upon to tell the truth, (and no one will question his veracity) the lollowiug extract from his re ply to .tlr. Jackson (the whole of which may t*e found in the Telegraph of Jnne 21st) • shows that not one cent of the 000 wtg received for the purpose, or in consideration of, the “schooling of the children of the Af ricans es the Echo,” —that the “schooling” was a voluntary thing outside of the agree ment made with tha-Gwlanization Society, a 1 outside ot the law under which it mad*. It formed no part ©I the agreement, in point ol tact made with the President—it | was a voluntary undertaking on the part of the Colonizatio: Society—for which nopait j of the $45,000 was paid or received by said j ; Society. But to tlie extract. Mr. Cobb states in Ins letter to Judge Jackson, “It . was under tL'se circumstances that Mr. j | Buchanan proceeded to employ an agent to ’ take care of ‘those Africans after their return 1 until they could provide for themselves. Mr. j Mi Lain, in behalf of the Colonization Socie ty, ottered to undertake the duties of such agent. The President require 1 that the Af ricans should be taken care of, and provision made for their support for one year. This is j all that he required. The Colonization Soci ety, for a stipulated sum, agreed to do this and more. The Society desired by their pioposition to show that they would not on ly do all that the President under the law was authorized to contract and pay fir, but that they would pat these Africans upon the •ante footing with all other negroes coin ted to their charge—and it was for this rea son that they incorporated into their propo sition the offer to educate and school the children. For this additional service not one dollar was charged, and the amount al lowed by the President would have been ; precisely the same, though no such provision had been contained in the offer of the Socie ty.” Agahi Mr. Cobb says, “Without the explanation which I have now given, it is perhaps not strange that an improper con struction should have been put upon the lan guage of the President; but when all the lac‘s are known there certainly can lit no dilHculty on the part of any man who wants to kuow the truth, and do justice in seeing the correctness of the statement which i again repeat in the most emphatic terms— that not one dollar was paid to the Coloni zation Society in Consideration of the educa tion or schooling of the Africans which were committed to their charge hy the President. ’ ii< re is a conclusive refutation from a gen tleman of the highest official position, of the slanderous charge repeated in Berrien's ar ticle. And yet his (B.’s) hatred to the Pres ident and his party is so n alignant iu its character that he will not withdraw, but persist in it Let him do so, but he will miss his mark, and shoot his arrows at ran dom. Here I drop the discussion. Axti Berrien. For the Ga. Citizen. i ilut. It, IS. lltil jjisti the Staff Fitw. Mr. Editor:— The State l'res- of the 3rd asks Mr. Hill to advise hi- friends to ground arms and rally to the support of Governor Brown! Why does he make such a request of Mr. Hill ? Hear lii- own answer : “Wo affirm that in Gov. Brown tie’ Democracy present a candidate who sea- true to the South, in all that nli* h r rights an* : interests, and : especially in all that pertains to slavery, as ] any man, of whatever party in the South.” j Did not, and does not Governor Brown to j day endorse the Cincinnati platform, and does not the Cincinnati platform endorse the Kansas bill, and the odious doctrine of Squatter S>ven ignty in that bill—that hill ! you so vehemently and so strongly defended ’ in 1 So-) and 1 85fi, as the best bill ever passed ly Cotigre - for the South ? It is that ~atue 1-ill your Douglas -and Stephens framed and per meted, and put upon the South. You ask Mr. Hill to go to Governor Brown, I while he, Governor Brown, stand- where he stood in 1850, with Douglass and Van Huron on the Ciucinuati platform and Squatter Sovereignty, against which Air. iiill lias -food and does now stand opposed. You 1 a.-k Mr. liill to do that which no honorable man would do, to-\vit: abandon tin* prinei ple.- of constitutional right! For what?— To support a man who twisted and dodged that 3rd resolution passed at Milb-dgeville in 18.50. What! go to a man who gave his warm support to the ABOLITION DOC TItIN E, “that the people of a Territory, like those (.fa State, hare a right to regulate their domestic institutions in their tarn way.” Is not Gov. Brown in close communion with a party who have robbed the South of tier rights in the Territories ? Mr. Hill, no where iti hi- letter, asks Gov. Brown to “abandon his party associates.’’ You talk about Mr. Hill's arrogantly assuming to ad vise Brown. Who first exposed the frauds of the State Road ? Who denied the charge of fraud made by Mr. Hill ? J><> you know f \\ hy, Hill has made Brown make the State Road pay from 530.000 to $35,000 per month. Talk about arrogating ? Whore is the arrogance to advise one who ha al ready profited by his advice? You know that but for Mr. Hill’s charges of corrup tion in the management of the State Boad, no committee to investigate the affairs of that Bond would have been appointed by tin* Legislature, for don’t you know how the Atlanta Intelligencer pronounced all Mr. Hill said as false—as pertaining to the management of that Roati, arul then vou certainly know the report of the committee appointed to see if what Mr. liill -aid was true. That report, as you well know, prov ed all, and showed more than Hill charged. The proud position of B. H. Hill, to-day, challenges the admiration of the good and patriotic, for he stands ,-u- It were, in the a forest of life, a pillar of moral grandeur, towering high above the rest, and calmly in the conscious rectitude of his motives and the honesty of his aims and purposes, he looks upon the political corruptions that sur round and *.he political di-ease beneath him unscathed. LOWN I)ES. Thomas Hardeman, Jr. The Candidate of the Opposition paity for Congress in this District, addressed a very large, intelligent, attentive and appreciative as semblage of his fellow-citizens in the Court house here, on Tuesday last. Circumstances beyond our control prevents us at this time from speaking of Mr. Hardeman's speech as its merits and ability deserve : wo will only say that Mr. Hardeman is a fluent and agreeable speaker— that ho dissected and exposed the corruptions of modern Democracy with a mas ter hand, and exhibited the * double slitiflkw’’ ot its leaders on the agitation of” slavery and the results of that agnation to the South, to the ridicule, the scorn and pity of his hearers. We have Itcard both Mr. Hardeman and Mr. Speer once, and aside from party prejudice or personal predilections we have no hesitancy in saying that Mr. Hardeman is fully equal to his respectable* competitor iu information and nat ural eloquence, and vastly liis superior in all that appertains to the truth, ju-Uce and can dor of the qiif-stions at issue. Even Hector's right arm could uot defend such a Troy as Bu • chanson Democracy, with iu accumulated cor ruption.- and wrongs. Mr. Speer must sink under the load he carries. We will roll up for Hardeman three or four hundred majority in old l pson, it we “set ilomi at once to oar . knitting. —l fwon Pitot. Cr.oi-3.—Extract of a letter dated TouJ ’ Town, Sumpter county, Ga., August 3 : “The corn crop in this county is good, and the cotton on fresh land promises well , On old land even with a favorable fall, it will be at least one-third below* an average, owning to injury to the plant by lice in the spring, from which it has not recovered.— I hear of some complaints of rust. There will te no cotton picked with us before the j Ist September.” j From the Chronicle anil Sentinel. Col. Wrijlit at his Homestead. Upon very short notice, quite a 1 irgc nurn- Ivt <T the citizens of Jellersou countv HSc*’ni bled at Louisville on the 2d inst., to hear Col. * A. R. Wright, the nominee of th* Opposition ’ for the Eighth Congressional District, upon the political topics ot the day. The spacious Ilall of the Superior Court, ; in which comfortable seats bad been prepar | (*<l, was densely crowded, and the assem blage was graced and enlivened by more than an usual number of ladies. There is always something imposing in ! these assemblages of the peop’e, when they i have been summoned, either to receive from r t public servitor an account of the manner iu ! which be has p rfonned his public duties, or to listen to the views, as on this occasion,of ! i new aspirant lor public honors. Talented —eminently talented, as he is con | c deii to be, by foe as well as friend—ever entertaining and attractive as a public speak er, and sometimes peculiarly eloquent, C<>!. Wright never fails, even in liis own county, . , (where, though often at the Bar,) to draw a large ar.d attentive audience. On this oeca j >iou an increased interest seemed to be awakened among the people of all parties j and shades of op nmn, to hear his views on I political matters of the past —tho.o ot inter est at tlie present, and such as nre imminent iu the future. The day was bright, and beautiful, ands j j tempered by a delightful bre?ze, that little ur no inconvenience w.i3 felt from tlie crowd ed state of the house. At half-past 11 o’clock Col. Wright entered the Hah. and amidst a cheering salutation, proceeded promptly to address the audience. lie commenced with a chaste and classic allusion to th<* cti?foTft among the civil.z -d 1 nations in which political freedom existed, and partic urly of the ancient R -publics, of their civil or military leaders, addressing the people upou the most important subjects per iaiamg to thier domestic or foreign jrdity. ft vvasa titne-honored and excellent custom; for a people to act wisely, they should be well and truly informed. That at the ex pre-sed desire < f deVgates from liis fellow citizens, in convent on assembled, ho had as seated to become t’lew caudidate for a seat in the National council, as a representative ■ of the E’ghth Congressional District. Inac • , cordance, therefore, with flit* custom alluded to, it was just and pcoper, it was his desire as well as his duty, to inform his fellow citi 7. *ns. whose suffrages he solicited, fully upou liis political views. lie had nothing to non ces i. If” preceded to review briefly, the politi cal history of the country from the times of the Republican ami Federal parties, under the leads respectively, of Jefferson and Ham dton—touching incidentally at the insidious, ; but at that time, scarcely noticed, approach es *M the fanaticism, which has since assumed ‘:irli alarming proportions in the onrauiz t iion known at this day, a-s the Black Repub licanpi*;y. He Cillc * attention directly to the settlement of tin* Missouri Compromise, as the time at which tlie first palpable symp om was mauifosted on the part ot wick -d aud dangerous men, to thrust upon the coun try, what the wii-\ and great, and good Washington, in his Fuvweli Address, so se ri nsly warned his countryman against—Sec tional Isscks. Q mting, at th * thu *, the f language of the august Fatlier of l.i- Coun j try: “It occurs ns mat ter of serious concern, ; that any ground should l>e furnished for ohar | acterizing parties by geographical discrimi nation, Northern and Southern, Atlantic and Western. You cannot shield yourselves too much against the jealousies and heart-burn . mgs which spring from these causes,” <fcn. He then showed that prior to the MDonri Compromise, and subsequently, up to 1840, though there was no regular national organ ization of parties, there were, nevertheless, great questions arising, which divided the minds of the people, and e .ti rolled national elections. But. these great questions, it should be observed, were always questions of Principle. The distinct and national or ganization of parties iti 1840, were directly upou principles of national polity. There were no sectional issues, beyond the merely incidental, growing out of the Tan’ll'system. Each party aimed, or professed toaim'af the i irootl of the whole counfry. But in the space often short years, durinsr 1 which a pow< rtul. and too often an unseru i pulous party, hud involved (he country in a foreign war—such had become the thirst fer power, tli.it no meat;? were spans! by an tagonistic political organizations, to obtain : supremacy. In the mean time, (the speaker continued to show.) the dangerous sectional spirit which ’ manifested itself in but which it was then hoped bad been quelled—revived, when the large territory acquired hy the Mexican i war, came up in 184!)-'f0, fur disposition— anti assumed a most alarminglv threatening aspect, on the presentation of a bill in Con gress for tlie admission of California into the sisterhood of Stales. The struggle which convulsed tlie country at that period, observed the speaker, was of too recent date, to be otherwise than fresh in the rnirids of his fellow-citizens. The Gor gon head of Abolition raise ! itself in defiance of ihe Constitution, aud ail restraints of law, and buhtiy ('ec’aied that no more* slave States should be admitted into the Union!— Sec tional issues, to th“ almost entire exclusion of Xath aaf prim airs, thereupon became the prominent political topics; and have been the ruling characteristics of the more power ful patty combinations ever since; endan • gering alike the public peace and the safety ot the Ui iun. From this tin re might be dated our great est difficulties. But wise counsels for a season prevailed, while the country boasted of the imperisha ble names of a Clay, a Webster, and a Onl houti. The compromise measures of 1850 give the promi-e of a permanent peace to the country —at least, from sectional agita tion. Still, however, continued the speaker, w !rile scarcely atiy citizen of the South be ieved that full justice had been meeted in the matter, a large m- j >rity. were disposed t > accep! the comprom se for the sake oi peace—while a portion were willing and ready to dissolve the ties which bound them to the Union. But when the test was made in the State of Georgia, at tlie Gubernatorial election of 1851, ami a majority of 18000 r j‘l id up against the ‘‘Fire Eaters,” as they were termed, and Mr. Cuhkmthe champion of the measures, was installed in the Executive Chair ; and when in the following session of Congress, the lion. Joseph Jackson, Repre sentative from the First District of this State, ollered a resolution which declared the Com prom’ne Measures of 1850 a finality to the agitation of the slavery question—and which was adopted—all parties South rs Mason and Dixon’s Linequietly acquiesced in them, and withdrew all opposition. Col. Wright spoke feelingly and eloquently upon the happy prospects that appeared about-* to dawn on the country, by the promise oi jieaee from the slavery agitation. That alter the clouds, and storms and tempests which raged with such threatening violence, n ‘ bright and peacelul su .shine would light the way of our magnificent progress. But un uuhappiiy, (to so bright auticipatious were destroyed by restless disorganizers, which, like condemned spirits or an evil genius, are doomed to curse or annoy mankind. The introduction of the Kansas and Ne braska bid by Senator Douglas, of Illinois, ■ not only opened lip the whole slavery ques- ‘ tion ag'aiD, but destroyed the main bulwark of the South, by repealing the Misonri re striction, besides giving birth to the odious and detestable doctrine of “Squatter Sove reignty.” The speaker discussed at. gn at length, all the bearings and results of this measure— spoke of his early opposition to it—of his promptly warning his fellow citizens against its deceptive character—that under a fairand plausible exterior, it concealed the treacher ous “blade of Joab.” He reviewed the ac tion of various statesmen in the matter, and , spoke of its influence upon the politics of the State and country. He condemned and repudiated Stephen Arnold Douglas in toto, alorg with his doc trine ot the right of a Territory in its legisla tive capacity, to pronounce upon the institu tion of slavery. And taking up the princi ple of “non-intervention,” discussed fully its bearing? in every particular; evincing a thorough know ledge of the subject, and ad vancing views that would have l>een consid- j t-red apothegms, coming from an older t.nd j more experienced statesman. ] He declared it to be the right of every ; citizen of the United States to emigrate to ‘ any of the Territories of the same, with liis property of every description, and to be pro I tecied iathe enjoyment of it , by th* laws of’ J ‘ tgr jn uyain.it the effect of any and all an- ! f i.dlj l jMotion cm the part of the TtrrUo- ! ned Cot: ruh.cut, until such time as the people of such Terr it/ry shall form and adopt a Con- ! slilution and Hate Government , and be ad mitted into the Union. Upon this issue he planted himself firmly. lie spoke at considerable length upou the action of Congress in regard to Kansas and tin* L’compton Constitution; approving Mr. Buchanan m liis original desire that Kansas should b” admitted uuder the Constitution, and condemned the action of Southern Rep resentatives in the matter. But he dissented to almost every other prominent act of the Administration. He was opposed to Mr. Buchanan's blundering policy in regard to Cuba; dwelt severely and indignantly upon his appropriating, without shadow of law, $45,000 tor the support and schooling of the captured Africans of the Echo, and the ter giversation of Mr. Secretary Cobb upon the subject, in his letter to Mr. James JackeOn. Was opposed to the scheme of the Facifre Rail li ‘iul; and indulged iu some amusing reflections on Mr. Buchanan's favoring if, while lit! was the exponent of a party winch professed to be opposed to Internal Improve ments. In the course of his remaik-i, Col. Wright alluded in the most courteous manner to his opponent, Hon. J. J. Jones, o t his many per sonal accomplishments and amiable qualities. Os his political sentiments, he could only ‘■pr*ak from his letter of acceptance. In that, If rightly understood, he placed himself fully on the Cincinnati pi itform. If so, there was , i wide difference between them. And he read from a letter of Senator Douglas, to show that the platform, according to the letter's eousirm ion, endorsed Squatter Sovereignty and Terntoi ial legislation on the subject of shivery. It tiie Honorable gemfe tn:m took these, and Mr. Buchanan’s Admin istration on his ba"k, he would not only have a hard roa i to travel, but a heavy load to carry. Co'. Wright spoke for an hour and a half, and iu conclusion, showed that all our troub i les and difficulties had grown out of our de parture from Constitutional principles, and ot ; allowing to be forced upon us sectional issues. But, that nevertheless wc were told that we were safe, he would admonish his fellow-cit izens not to be too confident in their safety; that an insidious foe was striking at their dearest interests, and who would seem tube satisfied at nothing short of tlioir destruction, and the degradation ot the South. Through th * Administration of Mr. Buchanan, we had lost caste in the Union. That at no pe rod of our history as a government and a nation, were we so forcibly appealed to, to be an united people, and present an unflinch ing front to our enemies. We owed it to ourselves, our country and our dearest rights —upon that binged the perpetuity of the Union, and our future happiness and pros perity as a Commonwealth. The address was listened to throughout with pn found attention, and was often in terrupted with assenting plaudits. And while 1 ain sensible that I have been unable to do full justice to this i ffo: t of Col. Wright, I am consoled by the knowledge tnat tnose wo heard him had nothing tacondemn, but much to admire in liis truly eloquent and conservative speech; and also that the peo ple of other portions of the District will have the pleasure of hearing him. And that they, like myself and many other of his friends, who have known him from his boyhood, and who have gradually marked his growth to manhood, and the ripening of his brilliant inie loot, will doubtless agree that should he be successful in the canvass, he will uot uu -1 worthily till the seat of his distinguished predecessor. Berrien. Read. Wo have, to-day, to record the death of two distinguished citizens of the United States : to wit, the lion. Horace Mann, L. L. D., Presi dent of Antioch College, Ohio, and Rev. Dr. Janies \Y. Alexander, I>. D., formerly Profes sor of Rlictorie and Belles Letters, in Princeton College. Uoraee Mann was for many years Secretary of the board of Education for Massachusetts, in which he not only accomplished much, hut made himself the leader of free school move ments in this country. His ambition, howev er, carried him into politics, and he became the sucoessor of John Quincy Adams in Congress. His course in Congress was not creditable to him. He was particularly distinguished as a vituperative, foul-mouthed opponent of the de mocracy, and especially of the South ; and lie disgusted the people of his own district by liis so disgraceful slanders of Mr. Webster, that lie was shelved at the expiration of liis second term. Since then he lias been President of Antioch College, in Ohio, a free love, abolition institution, open to youths of both sexes, where his commanding talents have been wasted in fighting pecuniary difficulties., lie died on Tuesday, August 2. James Waddell Alexander, the eldest son of Dr. Archibald Alexander, aud the grandson, we believe, by tho mother’s aid of the Rev. .lames \\ addell, the original of Wirt’s famous sketch of the Blind Preacher, was horn iu Louisa co.. Virginia, in 1804 ; was graduated at Princeton in 1820, and was appointed a Tutor in that In stitution in 1821. lie resigned that station the next, year, and settled as pastor in Char lotte county, Ya. Hero lie remained two years, and in 1828 accepted a call to Trenton, N. .T. j In 1830 he resigned his charge, and became the editor of the I'resbyterian. at Philadelphia, whence lie was elected Professor of R'.- etoric aud Bellos Letters iu tho College of New Jer ,s-y at Princeton. Ho was subsequently, and at tho lime of his death, pastor ot tho Brick Presbyterian Church in New York City. He died at tlie Virginia Springs, Sunday, July 31. Tennessee and Kentucky. The recent elections in these States ate most cheering to the Oppo-itior. and pre sage tlie complete overthrow of the Demo cracy in tho Presidential contest. Though Democratic Governors have been elected by reduced majorities, the great gaius effected by the unorganized Opposition in lliis skir mish will assure them of an easy victory in tie decisive battle of 18<>0. We never ex pected the tlection of the Opposition candi date for Governor in Kentucky, because we saw pretty plainly that the saint* Freesoil al liance which saved Letcher in Virginia would operate greatly to the advantage of Magoffin in Kentucky. But this element cannot be retained by the Democracy next year with out causing the loss to them of a counter balancing number of voters who cannot consent to yield the rights of the South in the Territories for party succer-s. In Ten nessee, vve did expect that Netheiland would beat Harris, but. the latter appears to have a - small majority. The Congressional elections, however, afford a truer test of party strength, and in these the Opposition success is equal to our most sanguine ex pectations. The results of the Congressional elections in Kentucky and Tennessee deprive the De- i mocracy of all hope of a majority in the next House of Representatives. The majority against them w id certainly be at least twen votes. They cannot,. with this strength, ’ smother inquiry into the abuses and cotrup tions of the Government under their Ad ministration, and the most startling revela tions of malfeasance in office will no doubt be made. They have lost control of the only branch of the General Government which the people have had a chance of wresting j from them since Mr. Buchanan’s inaugura- ( tion, and this advantage will materially con- 1 tribute to their defeat in the Presidential contest. — Col.

Where is its proud crest, its Samson locks? Gone! gone ! to the Black Republicans ! How came | the mighty S.tmsou to be shorn of his locks? A hat did it ? Treachery, and deceptive legis lation, lost Samson his strength. Where is the strength of the South in the Territories? lu the Kansas bill? In that bill is her weakness. Tn that Bill rests the serpent that has stung her to tho heart’s core. \ et, Mr. Stephens says there is no dan ger. He wraps himself up in his own dig uity and instead of offering some practical healing measure for the South and coun try, looks out with cool and deliberate un concern ; and to the injured people of the South aud country says, ‘‘There is no danger;” “There is not a ripple upon the water?.” Mr. Stephens kuows there is a wheel within a wheel; ho knows the complicated and deL'ctte machinery i which gives impetus and direction, and control to parly organization is noc perceptible, oven in tho calmest moments, to the pure rniuded 1 unsuspecting true men of the country. The firmer at his plow, the mechanic in his work- i shop, the laborer at his toil, in the honesty ol his hears, in the [unsuspecting sincerity of his true nature with patriotic motives look out up on the turmoil, tho distrust, the rnurmurings of the people and thinks only of the quick return of happier and more tranquil moments to the country. He does not even dream that at tho very moment, thero is behind the scene a baud of political tricksters, and renegades, and ad venturers which herotolbre, lie always shunned as ho would the serpent, whose touch is con tamination “whoso breath is pestilential, and whose rule is dishonor and ruin. They laugh at his infatuation and arrange at the same lime with the utmost caution aud care the party machinery so that they may reap the harvest, and gather tho fruit, while he is left to enjoy tho reality of a dissapointed hope and delraud ed expectation. The hope was, Kansas would be made a Slave State. Mr. Stephens said nothing about the law of population prevent ing the South from making a Slave State—oh no. Tholuue was, you have a chance to make Kansas a Slave State. Right there hope was disappointed. That was not all that was proin i ised, a good and equal chance for the South iu all l lre territories was the expectation ; super induced aud raised for the people. Right here they have been defrauded out of the expecta tion by the law of population ; or more proper ly, Squatter Sovereignly. Will the people be again lulled to sleep by these seducers and de ceivers ol the South and country ? Will the people support tho minions of base and design ing demagogues to mislead and deceive them agaiu i Creatures raised up for the occasion ? The people will, T think require the Democrat ic leaders to restore quiet and peace to a dis tracted country— bring the Government back to ancient landmarks before they can inspire confidence in their periodical professions of de votion to constitutional rights. “Nut a ripplo upon the water.” The legisla tion of 1851 ins placed the South in a pitiful condition. Mr. Stephens admits that the Ter ritorial policy ot tho Kansas bill forever ex cludes the possibility of another Slave State out ot the Territories. The South is power less and helpless in the coils of Squatter Sov ereignty. The clouds are lowering ! —the coming storm of 1800 will, I tear, develop solemu and serious i events. Why has tho South been set on lire and made indignant ? Why has tho North beeu aroused and excited? Let the men and i their minious who made and supported the Kansas bill, answer! LOWNDES.

Underwood, of Atlanta, died suddenly at Marietta, on Friday last.— lie was the father of the Hon. J. W. 11. Un derwood, of Rome, Ga. He was about 80 years of age. Look Out. The Atlanta American advertises a man by the name of Alexis S. Foote, who lias I been getting money from the I. O. (>. Fra ternity, on the strength of a card from Te lulali Lodge, No. 33, Wisconsin. The said lodge has published a “warning notice” against the deceitful practices of said Alexis Smith Foote. —t t-> Another Richmond in tho Field. Wo notice that William Milton Potter, of j Early county, is out as an independent can didate for Congress iri the 2d District. He runs upon the “State Rights aud re-opening tlie African slave trade” questions. This makes four candidates now up for Congress in that District—Crawford, (Dem.:) Doug las, (Opp.;) Both unc, (Free Trade and Direct Taxation,) and Potter as above indicated. Another Argument for Opening the Slave Trade. The Atlanta American of Saturday gives an account of a sale of negroes, at McDon ough, Ga , on last sale day, which goes to show the necessity of re-opening the Foreign Slave Trade. Twenty-eight negroes brought 522,309, or an average of 8706 a piece. One . boy, Held hand, 18 years of age, sold for $1,640. No chance for poor men to get African i laborers at such prices .’ Anti Berrien. Asa matter of courtesy and justice, we j give place to the communication of “Anti- Berrien,” in reply to “Berrien,” in our pa per of week before last. We do not think, however, that lie has given a correct inter pretation of the contract between the Pres ident and the Colonization Society as to the ■schooling of the African negroes of the Echo. We do not think the cuter manages of that society are benevolent enough to offer to school the negroes free, unless they charged enough for the other service to make a good fat job of the whole, schooling included ! But whether that T>e so or not, tho language of the President’s message showed clearly that he thought schooling the negroes to be a part of the contract with the society. Hen. A. H. Stephens—A Blstattmeat (Wreeted. The Savannah News in noticing a meeting 1 of the Democracy in Jefferson county, says that it was resolved to tender Hon. A. H. Stephens “a complimentary dinner, irre spective of parties,” Ac. It is not usual, we believe, for one party to tender a dinner in the name of all parties. We do not know where the News received its authority to say “irrespective of parties we happen to be well informed of the fact of the Opposition proposing to the Democrats to join in the compliment to Mr. Stephens, and were re fused. It is therefore, a one-sided affair, and , not worthy of Mr. Stephens’ notice. A Political Bombshell. Nature made Henry A. Wise of Virginia a ‘■'slouch' ’•—that is, we mean a slovenly person in dress. But she made? him an ambitious slo ven. She gave him talents too, ot tho tirst ol der—but lefi him to sort and arrange them.— Trained iu the school of Democracy about ihe limo of its becoming modernized by the intro duction of every deseiter from other parties, with principles as loos© as thimselvea, —Mr Wise took as little pride in being chaste and ; honorable in his principles, as ho did in the ap pearance ofhis dress, He is therefore sloven ly in person and principle. He is a fair speci men, and fit representative of a largo class of j Democratic leaders. Il is not to be wondered at, then, that he should have written the fol lowing letter, (to whom is not known) which is one of the most bare-faced things that has j come to light in this age of Democratic base i ness and corruption. So mo Democratic papers sraurtring under the exposure of their party leader pretend to believe it a fogery. But there is no doubt of its authenticity; it is presumed that some false friend has betrayed I him to f-vor the Douglass faction. Mast un | f< ruinate is it for the country it is governed by j such men and such a party ; Richmond, July 13, 1859. Dear Sir : —I thank you for yours of the Sth instant. I have apprehended all along that the Tammany Regency would carry a united dele gation from Now York to Charleston. For ! whom? Douglass, I kmw, is conlident ; but j you may rely ou it that Mr. Buchanan is him self r candidate for re-nomination, and all his patronage and power will be used to disappoint Douglass and all other aspirauts. Our only chauec is to orgauiza by districts, and either whip the enemy or send two delegations. II that is done or not done, we must still rely on a united South. A united South will depend on a united Virginia, and I pledge you iliat she at least, shall be a unit. Virgiuia a unit, and persistent and lirm ou a sound platform of protection to all persons of popular reruns , squatter sovereignty, she must rally to liersup f ort all the South. Tho South cannot adopt Mr.* Douglass’ platform. It is a short cut to all the ends of Black Republicanism. Ho then I will kick up his heels. If ho does or don’t, bo can’t be nominated, and tho main argument against his nomination is that . ho can t be elected if nominated. If he runs an independent candidate and Seward runs, and I am nominated at Charleston, I can beat them both. Or if squatter sovereignty is a plank of the platiorm at Chharleston, and Douglass is nominated, the South will ruu an independent candidate on protection principles, aud run tho election into the House. Whore, then, would Mr. Douglass be ? The lowest candidate on the list. If I have the popular strength you suppose, it will itself fix the nom ination. Get that, and I am confident of suc cess. Hon. F. Wood is professedly and really, I believe a Iriond, and ol course I would, iu good faith, be glad of his influence, and would do nothing to imp,air it, and could not justly re ject his kind aid ; but you may rely upon it that I am neither completely, nor at all, in the hands of Mr. Wood, or any other man who breathes. He has always been friendly to me and I to him, but always ou lair aud independ ent terms. Thero is nothing in our relations which should keep aloof any friend of either. He knows as well as one can tell him, that his main influence is in the ei’y if New York, and I judge what yon say ofhis country ii fl ieuce, is correct. But I am counting all the tune with out New York, and don’t lear the result. lam 1 depending solely upon open position of princi ple, independent of ail cliques, and defying all comers. We will overwhelm opposition iu Vir ginia, and her vote will be conservative and national. At all events, I shall always be glad to hear from you, and am yours truly. Henry A. Wise. W on't Canvunn Togelher. J. J. Jones and A. R. Wright, Esqrs., the i rival candidates lor Congress in the Flighth District, have published separate appoint ments for addressing the people. Mr. Wright, in a communication to the Augusta Dis patch, states that ho invited Mr Jones to a conference for the purpose of arranging joint discussions between them, hut that the latter declined attending, and published bl own appointments. Mr. AV. will not, there fore, attend Mr. J.’s appointments, but ex presses *h is anxiety still to arrange joint ap pointments with him. It being apparent that Mr. Jones does not desire joint discus sions, it is hardly probable that any will l*e agreed upon. We are sorry to learn from Mr. Wright’s letter that his business in court will compel him to withdraw from the stump early in September.— Col. Enquirer. We have some slight inkling of the fact that Mr. Jones, after he had made haste to publish his appointments before fore Col. Wright should catch him, proposed to his dreaded antagonist not to discuss at all . Poor Jenks! That was showing the white feather too soon ! Was he afraid that the Cincinnati Platform would not carry him safely through ? Or w r as he afraid to tell the people that he was a Douglas man, with his abominable Squatter Sovereignty, Territorial legislation doctrines, Ac. ? You’d do well, friend Jenks, to keep out of the reach of even the wind of “Our Ran?e,” you would ! with such doctrines as you hold. Hypocrisy. The notorious F. P. Blair, of Missouri, has lately delivered himself of a speech at St. Joseph's which is charaeterizod by the Republican press generally as a Republican speech. Ho is said to have com” out strong i for free soil, and in favor of “introducing j Republican principles into slave States.” We have not heard that he has emancipated his own slaves; nor is it reported that he i refuses to accept the wages of his eighteen or tweniy stout hard-worked negroes.— Chi- I cago Times. That’s Democracy all •over —always pro cessing one thing and doing another. Is it not one of the most astonishing things in the world, that the South is persuaded to tru-t in a party which has furnished nine-tenths of . all the traitors, North and South, who have had a hand in'swindling her out of her rights ? The father of this contemptible spawn, was one of the most profligate and unscrupulous scamps that ever taught ras cality to the Democratic party. The late Dixon H. Lewis, -of Alabama, used to call him the “galvanized corpse.” The writings of Francis P. Blair, in the Washington City Globe, during Gen’l Jackson’s administra tion, and years after, did more to demoral ize this country, politically and socially, j than all the writings of all the Infidels j ! that ever existed.

Oar neighbor doesthe same things that we do. but it does not become l him so welt to do it—it don't look so well in him. A\ hat we do, and ihe way we do it i>as a better appearance in us than in our neighbor. Our hat is a little neater, our coat tits us better, and the mud on our boots does not look quite so bad, as the mud on our i neighbor’s boots. And it is found that this -ame feeling extends even to our politics. Here are our friends, for instance, of t) !e Columbus Daily Times, we don’t doubt but they appear to themselves as very clever politicians—but they do not see themselves as others see them. Hear them speak of their neighbors, and you will soon see they feel they are better than their neighbors— ’ Listen: i ‘‘The Opposition. —Under th s compre hensive term is included every party, clique and faction in polities.

The Petereburgh Ya., Express thus traces the genealogy of the extensive and respectable Jones Family, in a biographical sketch of the famous Italiiu Warrior Garibaldi 1 We fear* the effect of this announcement at the present | time, as it may give undue advantage to our friend Jenks in the Sth District, over his com petitor. Kanse Wright 1 But still we do not ; wish to deprive tho former of any legitimate 1 claims Le may have by family counexion- with 1 the great and noble. We therefore give him the benefit to which the fact of eon sin ship with | tho famous Garibaldi fnirly entitles him, ami can only say to “Ranse, ’ to look out, f.r then are “breakers ahead.” AYe believo it is pe culiar to the Garibaldi rec3 to conduct their campaigns, in a sort of guerilla fashion ! Garibaldi is a descendant of Mr. John John ston Jones, who died at his residence in Blund ford, aoout the year 1767. It is a fact that a beautiful young daughter of this Mrs. Jones eloped from Petersburg about the year 1752 with an Italian tight rope dancer named Ga ribaldi, who having amassed an immense for- I tune in this country, relumed to his own dear j native Italy, where a large family and unalloy- I ed Llicity blessed the union between himself ’ and his beautiful young Blandford bride. Mrs. : Garibaldi corresponded with her father until the day of his death, and letters subsequently sent over by the children of Mrs. G. leave but little doubt of the tact that the warrior Garibaldi, now in Italy, is a direct descendant j of the Jones family, so well and favorably ! known in Blandiord during the first halfct the past century.

The following interesting extract from :t letter, we have been kindly allowed to pub lish, in relation to this doctrine, is from the pen of an accomplished gentleman, and able writer, who has contributed inanv excellent b-tters to several of our Southern Journals: Petersburg, A’a., July 27, ‘59. Mr. A. If. Wyche : Dear Sir:— * * * * * “The ground my letters cover is that iris not only the duty (and of course within the competency) of the Federal Legislature to supply all nceiled legislation for protect i ing property in the Territories, hutespeeial j ly its duty to do so when in the aci of ad mitting a Suite from the territorial condi i tinn. It seems to be plain that it must be j so. Suppose when Texas, an independent ; State, sought to l>e, or was willing to be an | noxod, she had presented a constitution for her government which disallowed slavery, would any Southern man have voted for htr annexation ? I think every man in the South would have voted no. The main de sire and object of the South was to enlarge ! the slave power. Os course, if her eonsti ’ tution had disallowed slavery, that desired ! object would have been defeated, and the South would not have been more than indif ferent to her annexation without slavery.— It was only when in the act of annexing Texas, that Congress had any v oice as to her institutions, and can it lie allowed that Congress, charged, as all the South agrees Congress is, with the duty of protecting slave* against hostile legislation affecting it as a property, during the Territorial condi tion, shall cease to extend the protection needed to save it to its owners, when Con gress is passing its judgment on the constitu tion for the new State ? They who deny the power of Congress to reject a eon.-titu* fion offered for its acceptance, and which discriminates against slavery by impairing and disallowing it to remain there as a pro perty, assign no reason for a denial of the (lower and duty of the Federal Legislature ’ to reject said constitution, or to accept Iton -1 ly on condition that before the people ot a ’ Territory shall be fully admitted as a State, they must, in some suitable mode, strike ’ such provisions out of their con-litutior.— The only reason, I say, which is assigned to j mv doctrine of intervention in the act ad mitting a State, is that such interference by Congress would be an infringment of State Rights. My reply is two-fold: Ist, It is no infringement, because the Rights of a State, whatever they be, have not accrued until the act of admission is approved by the President as pnweittod to him by both Hous es of Congress for his signature; and, sec ond Iv, That if the people having formed j their constitution preparatory to admission, are to be treated already as a State, still they are subject to the Federal Constitution, and in making their constitution must maintai: the provisions of the constitution of the I - Os consequence, if the provision.- c - tho proposed State constitution areincu tliet with the provisions of the federal con stitution, in respect of persons or proper'u, there is necessarily such a departure ■■■ ; the fundamental principles of our federative system, as would make it imperative on Con* I gross to refuse the admission of such people as a State, under such a constitution. The exercise of the power claimed, instead of infringing State rights, would be an act in support of the rights of the slave States.” ***** Yours, truly, R. S. COLLIE R-
