Mr. Davis feels f. othat lie is the aggiioved and injured party, and that President Johnson can show no constitutional right lor bis im- pri a onipont. It n genuine, disinloreslcd attachment to the Union under tho Constitution be a test, then the record of Mr. Davis will fhino with spotless brightness, while Mr. Johnson was elected by the votes of every man who for more than thirty years have been tin 1 avowed, bitter, uncompi^mising and active enemies of the Union under the Constitution. Mr. Davis’ well-known quarrel with Senator Toombs was upon tho supposition that Toombs had charged him with being iseparationist. Mr. Davis denounced tho charge us a falsehood, and challenged then, as subsequently • lie did in tho Senate a similar allegation by a Senator, any evi dence to substantiate such a charge; but none could bn adduced. When in the Senate Chamber Senator Wado declared, and most truly declared, his conviction that tho whole Southern mind labored under the linn belief that the accession of the Republican party to power vii.. imminently dangerous to their peace, dignity und most, inti mate institu tions. Davis made his elaborate speech, in which he uttered these remarkable words, “fraternal feeling was all the South asks to perpetuate tho Union. For him self ho be'ioved it did not exist in tho Northern heart. Submit to our people the evidence that hostility does not exist, and 1 feel that all this bitterness will cease,” because where fraternal feeling dwells, in ter tional injustice could not; und so so* liciiuiis for 'an »xcuso to remain in the Union” was the South, he added, “if the Uepublicnn paity would, in goyd faith, offer the Crittenden Uompromi-o it would be received as a sufficient evidence of fra ternal feeling, though it fell far short of their constitutional rights ns expounded by the Supremo Court.” Let President Johnson say, upon this record, whether Jefferson Davis, whose “loyalty” to tho Union was thus express* eJ. deserves to condemnation, or those who repudiated such manifeslions of de votion to the Union. »So well known was Mr. Davis’ desire to Perpetuate the Union, that it was these very manifestations of attachment to it which caused tho people of the South to cho' -e him f<»r President, and the Tribune pronounced the election, ot Davis and Ste phens over tho Yanceys and tho lihotts a triumph of tho Union party’, anil that they were elected to lead back tho States into the \ mon. •? r »- O’Connor, in his.groat speech of October, lHOO, mado a similur announce- luent us to the loaders in the Confederacy. , 1 il may be asserted that Mr. Davis’ repiy to the delegation from tho Maryland ^RMlttture (sent to him simultaneously with one to Mr. Lincoln to request them .. negotiation fur a settlement ol all aimcuitics) was so comprehensive as to in- uae negotiations for a return to tho M n, °h i * s U er L-*ctlv transparent that r : ~ av,s ' love of tho Union was sincere -l very strong, and that a separation was a* tearing of the ligaments of the heart, 2™J u P°n Lim by tho conviction that it tne only road to safety, and that, in ninni' VV0U ‘? ^ oat ^ f° n reunion more liar* ‘ornund enduring; but tho onemies wnnixi ? ,on U)rrvd t!l « ‘South out and ll t H ftrm,t ,in nmicable reunion. trim nf’.i »» on wants to punish tho one* thfvLi 16 nion ’ ho wil1 ,ir,(1 Diem at out?; tll ’- ,u ' t,n Jefferson DavD-with- wbioh of coercion from w : th d ,?>iS ® n t into ct lo, in common n.- wi.i„ e . rjr au fhonty without exception, :iNE> ¥«»«»>«.

As a gentleman and a judge he is known favorably throughout tho district. During the years ho haa been the bench of tho Superior Court he has won the ndmirafion ot the pcoplo by his wise and firm a 1 ministration of the law. As a judge, ho is bold and fearless, but never unkind. As a gentleman, be is pol ished, and as a politician, though ho has never before appeared prominently as one before the people, he is well posted in tho uffairs of the nation, and knows tho no- sitios of the people and how to provide for them. In policy ho is fully committed to tho support of President Johnson, but re serves for himself tho manly right to dis criminate and differ independently from the President when ho considers him in the wrong, llo is strongly # attached by overy tie of family and patriotism to his native State, the latoof whoso pooplo will bo his through weal and woe. Judge Bigharn is every way competent for the position fur which ho is a candi date, and we do liopo that the people of liis district will give him a hearty support at tho polls. In him they will have a rep resentative who will hold their interests dearer than all other ambition, lie will bo true to tho last to tho trust that tho people may repose in him. There are few men who would carry with them to ■Wash ington greater weight of character than ho. He is one of those men whoso opin ions others arc hound to respect, and wo believe, if sent to Congress, he will wield an influence that will bo productive of tho very best results tu his constituents and to tho whole country. A more formal announcement will ap pear in the Era in a low days. In tho meantime, we wduld say to tho people of the third Congressional district, give Judge Bigharn the support ot which he is worthy, and that will carry him to Con gress by a sweeping majority.

Editor Enquirer: As it is now evident that tho Convention will not change tho presen 1 Senatorial District, and as tho action of the next Legislature will bo very important and noed our best men in that body, I would ro- spectl'ully suggest Col. B. A* Thornton for our next Senator. I know Col. Thornton woll, and consider him ono of the most intellectual mon of his ago in tho State. When in the Legisla ture from Muscogee county, eight or ten years ago, although then young ho took a very prom inent stand, and it was then thought that no young membor could compoto with him. By ordirmry rulo, Chattahoochee county is now entitled to tho Senator, and as Mr. Thornton is living in Chattahoochee county, 1 trust that thore will be no opposition to him. oct 3i—te Muscoqrk.

To the Voters of tho 2d Congressional District: In view of tho present condition of our coun try, tho result of tho late revolution rendoring our prominent friends ineligible to a soat in Congress for tho present, I have boon induced by friends from different parts of the District to becouio a candidate. If I am your choice I will support tho resto ration policy of President Johnson, looking to a complete return of tho Southern States to their formor status in the Union. Tho only hopo for poace, happiness and prosperity is freoand choerful support of the union of tho States upon constitutional limitations. There is sorrow at tho grave of a first horn t anguish iu tho house that weeps a parent dead* I iomember the touching lamentation of that rofits Mr. Editor: Tho wisest philosophers who havo adorned the annals of tho world's history havo taught that tho man who is most to bo admired by his follow men is ho who quietly, yet boldly, selects tho puth of duty, and adheres to it un swervingly. The ancients loved and honored such a man, as is told us in tho chaste und classic words of Horace: “Justum ct ienacem propositi virum, Non civium ardor prara jnhcntium % Non vultus instant is tyranni Mente quatit. solida Wo moderns, Mr. Editor, admire such 1 when lie mourned an only a man rot less than did our worthy pre decessors of Rome. We admire a man “who is just and fixed in his purpose, whom tho ardor of his follow-citizens can** not hurry into wrong, and whom tho countenance of tyrants can never disturb ill his determination.” Just such a man is presented to tho re spected voters of tho Third District, in cluding our own honored section, in Ben jamin II. Biqiiam, candidato for the U. ►S. Congress. Impress it on the minds of ull lovers of our distressed country “to bo up and do- | ing with a heart for*any fate;” and if they wish a man who will represent their sen* timenfs, and who will labor with untiring devotion for the lasting welfare of the en tire country, that man can be found iu JudgO B.

In reply to numerous communications i havo received, botn before und since the action of tho Convention, ■ m tho subject, ami, especially, in reply to a very kind note, which is uiuieeo-sary to print, addressed to mo by nuito a number of my neigh bors and friends in Troup county, whom 1 havo so often and so acceptably represented in tbo State Legislature, 1 respectfully submit tbo fol lowing statement: I urn iully committed to tho firm and sub stantial support of tho President, reserving to myself tho manly right to discriminate and to disagree with him where I may consciously think ho is wrong. 1 will not eringo to power nor sacrifice principle. Nor will I, by any act or expression of mine, countenance tho pro scription of any man for past opinions. A feel ing of amnesty should prevail amongst us. I love Georgia. She is my native.State. Tho most ardent wish of my litc is, that she bo soon relieved from her present embarrassments and humiliation and bo restored to the cxerciso of all her privileges aud functions, tbo acknowl edged equal ol ouch State with which she may bo associated in Government. I admire her bravo, noble pooplo. I partook of their joys nnd sorrows in tho rccetv struggle. I deem it an houor that, us one ot her humble rei talives, I was tho first man who introduced a Bill in hor General Assembly lor tho relief of those whoso absence in the Held of carnage rendered their loved ones temporarily depen dent un others for help. 1 als > fcol glad that, afterwards, as Chairman of tho Cominitteo on Agriculture and Internal Improvements, of Finances, and on the Judiciary, ot tho House of Representatives, and as a member of various Fpocial Committees, to whom, from time to time, the question of providing for tho families of soldiers was referred, I was onabled to ron- dcr ossontial sorvieo to those who. amid tho cruel exigencies of civil war, would otherwise have suffered. Other services which it has been my good f i tone to render as a legislator, and in the practical work of developing tho materi al resources of tho country, I humbly trust, are known. I do not rotor to them in a boastful spirit. It was my duty to my brave brethren who, by inexorable events which none of us could control, were, equally with myself, de prived of tho sweet society of the loved ones at botno, that l should e rnc.-tly apply all my powers to avert famine an 1 prevent accumula ted suffering. 1 speak in all sincerity, when I say the fate of our people ‘h ill by my fate. t he question of Negro Suffrage i.- ono with which tho Federal Government has nothing to do.
