TIM Opposition and a United flout to.
In this great Empire Mat# of the ri-mth, there
are two political parties, the Deiuoeraiie and the
Opposition. The former boa ita ean iidatm for
Governor and Representatives, except in the 7th,
on the track, and ready for the race. Tho latter
party, though profatsing great patriotism, have
not as yet, boon able to find a man who is wilting
to bear tbeir standard in the approaching contest.
Wo bop* for the sake of the “presonr organDa
lion” of the Opposition, that soma gallant mar
tyr spirit in their ranks, may be induced to be
nom* their leader. Wo wish to bear the princi
ples of the Opposition expounded. They will be
new lo the country and decid'dy refreshing this
hot weather.
flu eh a party ws* nevor heard of l*ofbrc. Their
auc is confusion. We see them meeting in
fltate Convention at Maoou. Ona desires the ro
|>eal of ail laws on tho subject of the African
fllave-trmle, another don't. One wish** this parti
cular measure carried, soother don't. One advo
cates the adoption of a platform of principles, an
other don't; beennse, he says, platforms are
“empty things.” They, however, finally agree
on e platform embracing proposition* which no
body ever disputed or denied. The soul of their
party is opposition to the Democracy; but while
this is their great idea and the only ono ou which
they agree, they have uot told us what they are
in favor of, that tbo Democratic parly overdid.
They surely arc not opposed to every thing which
the party in power ha* done* Annexed to their
declaration we should like to see a bill of parti
cular*. It is apparent, tbat uo defonco cuu be
made or ought to be attempted till their case ts
made out. But we doplore such a state of things.
The ‘lay, we fear, is not far distant when the
(tower es a United South will be called into ao
(ion and duty in defence es our lives and property.
The abolition party North is au aggressive one
co our rights. We hope that • wise Providence
has decroed otherwise than that we shall meet on
the field of blood, our Northern brethren, boeauae
of their oppressive majority on ourrights. While
w# cannot, should not attempt, to scan the de
cree* of the Most High, it is our right to look to
■ l-hr affair* of men ; and judging from the past,
with tlie present around us, our uiiuds point to
times in the future es this government, which
must he deplored. In unity, there is strength.
While we are divided, party animosity inadvor
tently give* *id and comfort to our eocmio* of
the North. Their confidence in the sueoess of
tbeir unholy crusade against the peculisr institu
tions and right* of the flouth is strengthened. Wo
frequently hear remarks made by floutbem men,
that they had rather sec Seward President of tho
I'uited States, than Buchanan nr Cobb. Wccan
uot think that such thoughts are honest. We all
remember those insulting words of Seward, that
there is an “irrepressible conflict between Dec
labor and slave labor, and sooner or later one or tba
other must give way,” and earnestly insisted that
the latter as it exist* in the Southern Statoa, will
bo overthrown This arch enemy of the South,
and who is tb acknowledged leader of the Black
Republican party, also advocate* a reorganiza
tion of tho Supreme Court of the United States,
which can U used to crush out the last vestige of
Afrio&n Slavery.
Those who atill hold to the principle* of the
National Democracy—including Mr. Buchanan
and Mr. Cobb—these well *hu*.d public servants
by the opposition, do not wage i war of extermi
nation against slavery in the Southern States.—
They are well *atiflcd with the Supreme Court
—are opposed to the reversal of the Dred Scott
decision, and to the repeal of the Fugitive Slave
Jaw. The National Democracy also believe that
slave and free labor oati exist under this govern
ment a* it has done, and that there is no •irre
pressible conflict” between them.
Let our rights be once denied us in the Supreme
Court of the United .Staten, and the lasi hope of
Southern freemen in the l oion is gone. Tlint
Court le the armed battery that hurls back bleed
ing aud wounded, reckless and fanatical aggres

2. Resolved, Thet we think it advisable that
the Convention to assemble at Atlanta hall nomi

3. Resolved, That the only correction for the
notorious evils n w existing in the legislation of
the oountry consists in a change of our public
servants.
4. Resolved, That Martin J. Crawford, in his
public course, mid more especially in hie vote m
favor of the English Compromise I*lll, has ahuu
doned the rights of (he South, And shown himself
unworthy the confidence and mi pi tort of the
voters of the Second Congressional District.
5. Resolved, That every man who loves his
country more than his party, and who desires to

which now exist corrected, and the Constitution
and Union preserved, is cordially invited to Join
aud assist us In the consummation of these desir

The foregoing is the platform of principles of
the Opposition as adopted by their delegates at
Atnericua ou the 27th Inst. It will he Men that
they want a Governor, a Congressman and n gen
eral rotation of officors: believe Martin J. Craw,
ford voted wrung un the English Bill, and there
by “abandoned the rights of the South,” but do
not say a word about those celebrated six South
Americans who voted again*! tho admission of
Kansas under the Lecoinpton Constitution. Yet
they insist for a change of public servants. Our
/)*c7 suggests that probably they mean tho pub
lie servants of their own party. su< h as Critten

Financial (onaitilfTof tingland.
Tbe exhibit of the National account book of
England ehows that tbe elasticity of its resources
has uot slackened, and that (he productiveness of
every branch of taxation has increased. Revert
ing to the same rate of taxation which the coun
try bora twelve months since, aud a rerenno of
bve millions could be raised. New house* have
been built for tbe increasing population all over
s he Kingdom, and these improvements have con- ‘
tributed to the Ifonse-tax and other assented tax i
es, an inorease of £30,967, (one £ is 20 shillings,
and one shilling is 23 cents.) The Post Office reve
nue has increased to the extent of £219,000. More
paper has boon coosimcd, more English beer
drank, and other articles of excisable luxury or
convenlenoe have increased to such au extent as
to pay to the Excieea surplus revenue of £279,000 i
upon the year.
Theie has been un increase, also of £1,605,328
upon the customs. Sugar, tea and coffee have
swelled the total of this great branch of reve
nue.
I hue, it will be eeen, that the bow of taxation
has been slackened, though not unstrung, in Ew- ;
rope for the past year, and that in the common !
and perpatual source* of financial income, there
has been a magnificent increase of £2,878,018.
An exhibit of tbe Treasury book for tbe last
three rnoothe is even more satisfactory to Englaud
than the figures above stated. Notwithstanding
the reduction of the Income tax, the dcrangviueut
in tbe meaus of comparing the Hop Dutiee and
the temporary depression of the Stamp Duties,
there has been an actudl, uot surplus, from the
natural and steady increase of ordinary revenue
of 8212,379. Well may Kuglaud come back from
au examination of her Revenue Returns, as the
economical tradesman, who ouds bis books well
kept, bueiness prosperous enough to meet all do
wands, with something to spare in the bargain.

The contest in Alabama has proved to be •
most exciting coe, and as I* usual on such ocoa
vicu*. has gathered unto itself some element# of a

drwi deaths by fire, it has at last actually saved
a life. It happened in this way : Dnv before
yesterday a lady on Carroll street, clad -partly
—in an ample double expansion, self-regulating,
patent extension skirt, was standing—as careful
housewives will—on the sill of a second storv .
wiping the glass on the outside. A child |*as.*-
ing below, sho attempted, for the fun of the thing,
to drop tho cloth from her hand on the little
one; but somohow managed to drop herself at
tbe same moment. Down she went, u distance
of eighteen fkft, to the pavement, hu- not with
any ungraceful keeling over or heavy Mow in
striking. She sailed down, parachute fashion,
presenting tho graceful form of an old-fashioned
decanter. When she alighted she struck with
only sufficient foreo to cause some smarting of
tha feet— hlutf* her sole ! Would not a big crin

tha p#ug of death’s oold embrace, m she passed to
the upj cr and brighter world: it was as the rising
taa to one that was triumphant over death end
#be wns perfectly n signed to th
will of her heavenly Father. She was born*
away upon the wing# of the sngiilc host to h
Father's mnn.don on high, from the taidet of
those that were near and dear to her, aud left *
void in lu© heart# of many,that ran never be filled.
Aud may God blees and eotuf*tt those bereaved
parents and friends of the loved one, that ha*
gone tefore them to Join in the song of praise of
our Heavenly Tether. Oh, may thy gentle spirit
be clothed in Heaven'# brightest robe'-!
