The Opposition
Under tbi- Comprehensive term is included ev-
I cry party, clique and IWriion in polities. All these
parties, clique* and factious, agree in one thing,
and in onotrfy : a wildand savage warfare upon
the Democracy ; in all else they are as wide a*uu
der as the poles. Hitherto their attacks, though
savage, have l*een impotent; the States Rights
Democracy hare defied their puny efforts to jostle
them from their broad foundations, und arc as
j secure to-day iu the possession of the love, conti-
I (fence and support of a majority of the American
j peoples*they wore when Thomas Jefferson re
tired from the helm of State and turned over tho
; < Jovermnent to his illustrious successors. In the
( South, the field is all onr own; “the opposition”
is completely cowed under unnumbered defeats
. and is content to wage, a guerilla warfare. But
I from these guerilla bands the Democracy have
I nothing to fear. We may lose a county strong
1 bold now and then, here and there, and a little
| squad may bo routed ; but tho South as a whole
i is in our hands ; the great body of the people are
with us heart and soul ; believe in our principles,
j trust our leader*, and will tight to the death under
j our banner.
j The real and true foe of the Democracy is tho
i lltuuk Republican host, tlroat in numbers, strung
’ in the ignorant prejudices of the Northern mass
es, led ljy for seeing and unprincipled leaders,
this huge sectional organization scorns determiu
,ed to rule or ruin to control ilia Union or to de
i *4T'*y it- The great ligament that binds their
1 motley crew together is hostility to the institu
i tiouS of the South, but tlio real object of their lea
ders U) get possession of the offices of tho Fad
! rrai Government and distribute the rich spoils of
their couquest among their greedy followers, in
the shape of high salaries,and lavish expenditures
ol taxon levied upon the agricultural classes of
the country by means of discriminating duties.—
Against this formidable array, there is no antago
nism, worthy of the name, outside of the Demo
cratic party. How easily they crushed that
remnant of the American party which they did
not absorb in the late Presidential election I Is
it wise then for Southern patriots to make war
upou the Democracy ? Ought they not rather to
rally to this time honored standard, and aid their
Southern brethren in the death struggle in which
they are engaged with a common enemy ? As
Partisans we attach no particular importance to
the opposition of Southern cliques and factions to
the Democracy. Victory over them is sure and
easy. But as Southern men, w deplore the waste
of time, effort and thought upou fellow citizens,
which might be more advantageously expended
upon (he enemy. It is idle to talk of Southern
union outside of the Democratic party. We free
ly acknowledge that the party has now and then
made mistake.-, and that its'performance is often
below its promises and professions. All human
institutions are imperfect. The true policy of the
South is to join the party and strive to purify and
perfect it, not to make war upon it.
The levees of the Mississippi river occasionally
give wav under the pressure of the affluent flood
of waters which they were designed to restrain ,
but would any sane inau, therefore, propose to
level tbem with the ground? What the levees
are to the Mississippi valley is the Democratic
party to the South. Let every true man then aid
in making stronger and broader and more secure
the foundations upon which the party rests. This
is wisdom—this is patriotism.

Dreadful and Fatal Explosion
The locomotive, “F H Kluiore,” exploded near
the ninety -six mUe post, on the (South Carolina
railroad, on Tuesday afternoon, lietwwen three
and four o’clock. As all on board the locomo
tive and tender were instantly hurled into eterni
ty, heaving no one to tell nny of the eircuiostan
ees leading t.i the dreadful accident, we sail only
speculate as to the causes which produced it.
There were live persous killed, and the annex
ed list comprises their names, Ac. 1
Thomas Kingdom, engineer, a native of
( and one of the able.-d and most expe
rienced engineer* on the road, it is slated that
he has been employed on the road for over twen
ty years.
Adam Louegan, was fireman, and a native of
Germany.
Henry Vnndalkin, was a conductor, and a na -
tive of Gt:rinuuy.
L M Chitty, was a conductor, und reside.]
about Graniteville.
Mr. Mitobeli, was known us a conductor's man,
he was a German.
Messrs. Chilly and Mitchell belonged to a train
which was ahead of the J£l more, and as they had
i>ceu left at a station below, and got on tbo 1.1-
inora to overtake their own train, it is probable
the Kluiore wa* currying a high head of steam und
traveling ut great speed when the explosion took
place. There was no train attached to the JRI
- engine und tender were all.
The conditions of the jwrsons killed was heart
rending. They were frightfully mangkd, and
must have been instantly killed. The bodies of
some of them were hurled over one hundred
yards.
It is charitable to the dead to allow the causes of
this accident to remain unknown, hut in justice Ut
the living, and as u warning in the future, ull
railroad employee* should he admonished not to
let private business or personal focling* induce
them to leave their train, and hope by the <|uiok
running of othor engines to overtake their own
trains. There is no doubt of it, that the frightful
accident of Thursday afternoon, had its remote
cause in the delay of Messrs, (.‘bitty and Mitchell
und its proximate cause in the high spend neces
sary to overtake the train ahead of them.
All tho persons killed were experienced rail
road hands ; and several, if not all, leave fami
lies.
While we mourn over tho untimely loss of life
on this occasion, it should admonish all not only
of the uncertain tenure we have ou life, hut of the
importiStocu of a scrupulous compliance with the
regulations of business.— VonititutioHatot,

The follow ing extract is from the speech of
.Senator Ktnt.Kit, of Pennsylvania, delivered in
the l . .Senate, on the 2.'id February 1859, tu-
” There i certainly a very clear distinction be
tween intervention by Congress to ostabliHh or
abolish sl.ncry iu a Territory, or, if you please,
to influence, iu any way, the question of its expe
diency, ami the exercise of the power of Congress
to execute aright established by a decree of
court. 1 am against all congressional interfer
ence to encourage slavery, or to extend, or to re
strict, or to maintain the institution against the
will of the people of a territory. We have agreed
to leave all question* that may arise as to the in
stitution, in the territories, to the people and the
courts.”
•• If tho rights of any citizen be seriously im
paired, bis remedy is in the courts, and not in
Congress; but a question may arise behind all
these, and that is tho questiou of executing an es
tablished right. There umy bo n case iu which
whatever power remains to Congress should bo
exercised to maintain tho rights of tbe citizen us
ascertained by tho courts. It cannot be denied
that the Senator from Illinois, (Mr. Douglass,] at
ono time entertained tho opinion that such un oc- .
‘•a.-ion might arise; for ho hold und said that, in
reference to I lah, such an exigency hud arisen,
and that the law organizing the territory ought to
be repealed; and thereby be claimed for Congress
the highest degree of power ever pretended to by
Congress, ami this for the reason that tho Mor
mon- would not obey the law or tho decisions of
the courts. A similar state of facts in any other
Territory might warrant a similar remedy.—

property value of the slaves now in tho Territory,
and the courts should decide shoh an act uncon
stitutional. would the execution of the decision of
the court be called Congressional intervention for
slavery,’ Certainly not. I claim to stand on tbe
Democratic platform, us defined at Baltimore and
Cincinnati, on tho broad doetriue of non interven
tion by Congress, iu the matter of Slavery ; but I
. a mod close my eyes to the distinction between
the action of Congress to oucouiuge a policy, and
the main ftuiai.cu of tho rights of tho citizen, ub
defined by the Supreme Court. But this point,
more than any other, Ims baffled my judgment,
und my mind was lu day dwelling upon tbe very
inquiry presented by tho Senator from Alabama,
( Mr. Clay.) to-wit : If the citizen of a slavchold
ing State lias u right, as decidioQby the Ruprome
Court, to take bis slave into a territory and pui
sc-s him there during tbe territorial existence,
wht-m-o eotuc.s that right, and how uau its wajoy
nn-nt be dc-troyed by a community not posses
■id of the Avc reign power
“What is a right, that cannot be enjoyed, but a
delusion and u fraud? The Supreme Court has
held tlial tliu right to repossess a fugitive slave is
in the owner but what i- that right worth, uu
b-'.- the menus of executing it bu furnished by
* ’ongres.s ? And wimt is the right of a citizen in
.i Territory worth, if it. canuot lie enjoyed ? What
does it avail to the citizen thut he lias the right,
under the decision of the Supreme Court, to take
bis property into a Territory, if a majority may
deprive him of tliu enjoyment and use of that
property ? There is no constituUdnal right un
le.-s it ran be enjoyid : the value of that enjoy
ment, it nitrite, may bu lessoned by a general pub
lic policy or by popular prejudice ; but I do not
see how it can be destroyed ; it is too true that
the constitutional right of the owner to reclaim
his fugitive ia, in some instances, almost destroy
ed in this way. It h for the court*, and not for
Congress, to decide all legal questions that may
arise us lo the rights of slave properly in the Ter
ritories. That is the Democratic policy ; but is
not clear that a necessity will never arise for the
interference of Congress to execute a right decree
of the courts.

The Democracy of thia District have tho pow
er to oleot their candidate to Congroaa by a hand
some majority. They ought not to throw away
their votes, an a compliment to their particular
friends, whose names are announced for the posi
tion ami who mnud no earthly chance of auocosa.
It will only end in the defeat of their own party
and the rejoicing of their foes. It will hazard
the election of a democrat iu tlio district hereaf
ter, and will divide aud alienate our friends.— :
Union and hurAiony should be the watchword.—
Personal resentment, little petty prejudice, and
Inferences for another, should not prevent true
democrats, who glory in democratic principles,
from supporting the nominee of the party.
There are now, wo understand, two other can
didates iu tho Held for Congress, besides Mr.
Crawford, the democratic nomiuoe, and Mr.
Douglas, Hie Opposition candidate. Hon. Dothuuc
of the 6 T o*fir Stone, and Mr. W M Butter, of
Early. We are not advised upon what principles
the latter geutlouiKU is a candidate. Nor are wo
able to tell at this stage of the canvass, what effect
his candidacy will have upon tho general result.
This much wo do know, that it is not tho part
of policy iu good democrats to throw away their
suffrages. Mr. Crawford has received the nomi
nation of his purty by acclamation ; no one ap
peared as a candidate against liiui; ho was cm
phutically the rhuira of the party. He Inis twice
represented the district, and the democracy have
paid him a compliment in nominating him a third
time, never bestowed upon democratic incumbents
heretofore.
Surely, lie has been faithful to their trusts,
borne the huuner gallantly, been weighed uud
not found wanting, a true aud tried Representa
tive, worthy tho position ho holds, and u high
toned, genorous constituency. Lot thou, the do
mooracy rally to their leader, lay aside all minor
considerations for the success of principles ; tight
with their scabbards thrown away ; be content
with no meaningless victory, but let it i*o one
after tho order of the defeat made by Pyrrhus
aud his eluphants! Remember, Ckawfohl* is
the standard bearer, and lifts proudly tbe States
Rights flag! With it, ho will light up the path

.1 J Jones mid A R Wright, Ksqs., Hie rival
candidates for Congress in the Bth District, have
published separate appointment* for addressing

tho Augusta Uiapdich, states that he invited Mr.
Jones to auouforrouoe for the purpose of arrang
ing joint discussion between tbem, but that tho
latter declined uttending and published his own
appointments. Mr. W. will n<*#, therefore, Httend
Mr. J.’s appointments, but expresses his anxiety
still to arrange joint appointments with him. It
being apparent that Mr. Jones decs not desiro
joint discussions, it is hardly probable that any
will be agreed upon. We are sorry to learn from
Mr. Wright’s letter that his business in oourt will
compel him to witbdruw from tbe stump early in
September.
The above is from the Enquirer. According
to our reading of the misumlerstanding, Mr.
Joue* had put his apimintments in Ihe printers
hands before receiving Mr. Wright’s letter f<r a
conference, llu invited his competitor to a dis
cussion at his appointments upon equal terms.—
We think it rather too exacting in Mr. Wright to
ask his opponent to suspend the canvass two weekt
before the election, becausu it mililatos against his
(Mr. Wright's) business. Mr Wright does this,
however, uud will have his way or no way at all.

This distinguished man is an object of bitter

imagine, too, tlial he is destined to lie tho next
Democratic candidate fur tho ('residency, and
tln-v dread to encounter his strength with the

AN APPEAL TO OLD DEMOCRATS.
Our advices from Upson, Talbot, Houston*

The recent victories achieved in Alabama and
Kentucky have inspired our friends-with courage,
while the disasters of the Opposition confederates
have weakened the faith and dampened the ardor
of all who have ranged themselves on the line of
antagonism to Democratic principles.
That the defeat of Mr. Judge und the rout in
Kentucky have created a panic in the runke of
our opponents no ono will deny who read* the pa
pers or keeps up with the current events of the
day. Ail tho appliance* of party tactics were
brought to bear iu favor of Mr. Judge and with
out success. The women crowned bun with gar
lands ; he was f.dlowsd hv a clamorous crowd
with bauner* and music, ilia efforts were extol

money wa* Spoilt free US water, and last but not
least, Mr. IL 11. Hill, of Troup, butter known as
a candidate for Governor of Georgia two years
since, was induced to speak in Montgomery on
Saturday previous to the election day. Rut the
smiles of women —the Jfasoinittinns of music and
eloqucucc—the ull prevailing influenced'money,
and the weak distillations of parly clap-trap ap
peals did not avail Mr. Judge. The purity ami
patriotism of the Democracy of Alabama were
strougcr than ull the fusion of malign elements,
and Mr. Judge was liiglorlouily defeated, and Mr.
C'lot) ton gloriously triumphant. The result of this
Alabama contest is a bard blow to tho Opposition

the foretaste of more bitter potations, and the
handwriting on tho wall, which speak* in lan

revocable doom to which the Great American par

Native Georgian.
We give place to-day to another communica
tion from “Native Georgian,” in respouso to the
Federal t T nion. We reiterate what we have said
before, that the sentiments, so far as they are per
sonal, are not endorsed by the Tioxe.a. This mode
of warfare by some of Judge Iverson’s friends is
calculated, in our judgment, to prejudice a great
many good men against him and weaken the
strength of his position before the people. So bo- ,
lieving! and anxious as we are for his re-election,
we desire to avoid so fatal a polioy. Tho Timet
is the advocate of Judge Iverson's re-election up
on the ground that his sentiments are Southern
his position a bold one, bis fidelity to his constitu
ency unquestioned, his love for the South beyond
the love of spoils, his undaunted courage aud true
chivalry. “Native Georgian” bids us say ho is
“responsible for the contents” of his article.

was a “degradation” ft* the South. Query. How
much love has Zollicoffer, Ready and , Menard,
Just elected opposition candidates to Congress in
Tennessee, for the democratic party ? and Trippo
and Hill of Go., who voted for the bill ? The
English bill was passed by two votes and they
were given by the opposition Representatives from
Georgia. Just think of It! Trippo and Hill’s
vote patted the Conference bill f
The opposition say that a slave State has been
rejected and make much noise over it. Mr. Josh
ua Hill said in Congress, “I, sir, as a Southern
man, have never looked for Kansas to he a slave
State, and never expected it.” Tbe Augusta
Chronicle d• Sentinel, the loading American organ
said, “we have never entertained tho idea that
Kansas would beoome a slave State, and wo do
not think any sane man in the Union entertains
such an opinion. Wt care nothing about preem'-
inj the equilibrium between free and tlavo Slulct.”
Nor did those “pure patriots” who stood with
Douglas, Messrs. Bell and Crittenden. Y’ut, the
opposition cry out aguinst the democracy for re
jecting a elave State. Oh! for a taste of the
“loaves ami fishes!”

her withers are touched with the whip. Mr.
Boughton, tho writer of the article in tbe Federal
Union, replying to my short, but pointed commu
nication, has, in his opposition to Mr. Iverson,
and his violent denunciations of the Southern
Bights snathe* and Mntlmenfe f that gentleman,
clearly cxHmftcd hi* natural deformity, exposed
his true principles and fueling*, and revealed his
real character to the World. Ho is the friend of
•Southern rights by profeatio m, but their enotny In
disguise aud in fact. He bases his claim to the
character and principles of a Southern man upon
i he extraordinary fact that ho was born and rais
ed in a slave holding State! And would you bo
lievo it, reader, that State wa* New York, the
very hot bed of abolitionism ! The idea of claim
ing to he a Southern man, with Southern feelings
tuid principles, because he was bom in New York,
when a mere remnant of slavery existed In that
State, long after their act of emancipation, and
when there were not probably a hundred slaves
in tbe State, is supremely ridiculous; and is only
equalled by tbe miserable diaiugenuousness which
characterized his attack upon Judge Iverson's
Griffin speech. Mr. Boughton says he has resid
ed many year* amongst Southern men, but judg
ing front theso beautiful specimens of bis sinceri
ty and candor, he might live here a thousand
year- and never be lnnoculated with tbe true
Southern characteristics of honor and honesty.
The original mark of tlio beast is indelible. Like
tbe Devil’s clovou foot, it will show itself whon
his Yankee skin is scrubbed.
Mr. Botlgbtou charges that Judge Ivcrson'a
friends are proscriptive, and claim the exclusive
right to say and publish what they ploase, and to
brand the supporters of Goy. Johnson and Gov.
McDonald, as “wolves and vipers.” Mr. Bongh
tou knew this charge to bo lateo when ho penned
it. Judge Iverson'* friends have assumed no
-itch prerogative—they have laid down no such
illiberal rule—they have defended him, and de
fended him only, from the harsh, unjust and vin
| diotive usfßpit* of his enemies, w?lo aro endeavor
ing to crush him, that others may be exalted in
his stead. Pray, Mr. Boughtou, Dame the first
instance in which either Gov. Johnson or Gov.
McDouuld has been attacked or assailed by any
friend <d Judge Iverson in which any fair,
candid or honorable advocate of either of those
gentlemen has boon attacked or assailed. No
such attack has been made, and Mr. Houghton
knows it. The friends of. Judge Iverson have
commended with spirit and warmth, his zeal in
tho cause of Houthern rights. A large majority
of the Democratic presses of Georgia and the peo
ple, approved in strong forms, his speech in the
BcnAte on the Pacific Railroad bill, and when the
genuine .Southern feeling and sentiments of that
npoeoh roused up the dorjuxnt energies of his con
stituents, and enlisted their admiration and hear
ty approval, and there was a general expression
of opinion favorable to hi* re-election, a violent
ami systematic war against him was immediately
commenced by certain papers iu the interest of
Gov. Johnson, amongst which the Federal Union,
Georgia TeU'jraph and Atlanta InteUiyencHr were
the first and fiercest, and they have persisted in
their assaults upon hitu ever siucep evidently re
solved by harsh epithets, disparaging compari
sons, contemptible ridicule and gross abuse, to
mortify and wound him, irritate and provoke hie
friends to a hitter controversy, and to crush him
by a concerted aud continued warfare. No man
belonging to the Democratic party in the State,
occupying a prominent position uud honored by
the confidence of tho people, bus been the object
of such violent, unsparing and unrelenting oppo
sition and disparagement lrntn auy portion of the
Democratic press, as have been displayed by thesw
puiiers towards Judge Iverson. He has been, for
mouths, and is tho object of their bitter denuncia
tion and sarcasm. Tho motive and the object of
these attacks are apparent. The writers of the*
papers and these assaults upou Judge Iveraon
are Northern men,and although domiciliated with
us, still retain their native iustinots, prejudice*
aud sympathies, and they have been touched to
the quick by thu unsparing blows which Mr.
Iversou Las dealt upon their Northern homes,
friends and allies. “Hence their tears” and their
vindictive war upon him. They have also a fa
vorite Senatorial candidate of their own whose in
terests und success they arc Anxious and bound
to promote. Judge Iverson stands in the way of
ihat favorite candidate. Hence their determina
tion to put him dowu ai all hazards.
Mr. Houghton says that there are other Demo
cratic pupers in Georgia that have disapproved
of portions of Judge Iverson’s Griffin speech. To
what paper does Mr. D. allude ? Noue such have
met my observation, though it is very probable
that other pupers may disagree with Judge Iver
son in some of the positions taken in his speech at
Griffin. It is not to lie expected that all the pa
pers in Georgia would concurs in and approve any
speech made by any man. There are other
Democratic papers in Georgia opposed to the re
election of Judge Iverson to the Beuate, but they
have thus fir treated him with respect, and con
ducted then- opposition without acrimony—whilst
advocating the claims of others, they have not
nought to dispara-u aud belittle the character and
merits of Mr. Iverson or to wound his feelings,
und provoke retaliation by cutting personal re
tuariis, harsh epithets and vulgar abuse. It has
remained alone to tho writers to whom I alluded
in my former article, not only to rnako the first
assault upon Judge Iverson, but to keep up tho
fire, and to pursue him with a virulence and vln
diotivcm**exhibited by no other press in Georgia
of any party.
Mr. Boughton says, that I “consider it a re
markable fact that the Federal t/nion, Georgia
TrUyrnph and Atlanta fnttlligmctr, should all
condemn Mr. Iverson’s speech at Griffin.” Mr,
Houghton misrepresents me iu this, os be misrep
resents every thing said by Mr. Iverson or hi*
friends. I expressed no surprise or disappoint
ment, that these paper* condemned that speech.
On the contrary, it was just what was expected
from them; they had already denounced him and
wore doing all in their power to crush him ; they
disapproved no doubt nf bin speeoh in the Henate,
ou the Pacific Railroad Rill, liis speech at Grif
fin, was hut an enlarged edition of the speech in
the Henate. There is no material difference in
sentiments or position between them; both of them
abounded in strong patriotic Southern feeling and
in sound and wholusomu warning to the South,
of the danger that await* hor and the mode and
method of redress or escapo. It was not to ba
expected that these carping Northern kuigbta
would approve auy true, warm, devoted advocacy
of Southern Rights, liny bold defiant denunciation
of Northern aggraeeion, or any suggestions that
the South ought under any circumstances to dis
solve the Union. What 1 did say was, that it wm
a significant faot, that the only Demooratio pa
per* in Georgia, so far ms (Aen observed, that bad
condemned aud denounced the speech, were tbe
three papers indicated, edited by these Northern
