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.

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, yp/f~ All the tributaries of the Arkansas, and also the main stream, are vtj low, navigation being almost suspended.

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.— Should the Legislature of Kansas eonslscute the 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. Wi- clip the subjoined paragraphs from the Savannah Hcpubliaan, of Ang. sth : Our I'ih/, W e have never enjoyed so pleasant a Hummer ns that with which we are now being blessed.

We hav* good reasons for saying that the Democratic parly iu this District ’ was never more hopeful or confident of success. 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.

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.

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.

Mditore i —My former communication in your paper, though brief, had its intended ef fect; it reached tho tunder teniibilitiee of 8. N. Houghton, of the Federal Onion, the man who was born and raised in the slave holding State of New York ! and who Is, therefore, a par exeet- Unoe Southern Rights man ! Mr. Boughton’s ire seem* to have been much riled up at my sugges tion that he was a Northern man in Southern garb, and that tlio heart and body of the wolf wero covered by tho skin of the sheep. Itis another proof that the galled jade always winces when 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
