hit* re-elwtion to the Henute. nod which threatened
dfaapnoinmeut to other aspirants, raised a storm
over hi* devoted heiol in certain quarter!, which
fa to beat upon it nntil li rinks to rise no more.
The policy of these presses and their bookers, Is
to counteract the olfoet of Judge 1 Verson'* speech
shy disparaging him and them, and making
charge* and accusation* against liiiu and his
friends, which are unjust and unganerms, but for
which, by frequent and bold repetition they hope
to gain currency and effort. They intend to break
him down, and by prostrating him. not only mako
room for their own more favored candidate, hut
crash out iho spirit which hu has manifested nod
helped to kindle amougst the people. Mr. bough
ton says, that Mr. Iverson’s Griffin •puech fa last
loosing him the confidence of the peojdu of tloor
gta. The wish is doubtless father to the thought.
Why should that speech effect the confidence of
the people jo him, any more than the one made
in the Senate on thy fith of January ? What sen
timent, opinion, or conclusion is ex pressed in the
one, that i* not embraced in the other f fan Mr.

Dkah Tiuua :— Am you were informed in my
U*t, from Maoon, I exited to reach thie city
by •tnaiuer fton* Haratmth. limnl and aad woe
my dlnoppointraent in learning that all the coin
fortaliie aUteroom* on Iwnird the etearaablp Au-
Kuxta bad been engaged fully one week Ulore my
uppliWWlw. My Hpiliewee of both thud and
.een route#, Iml me to greatly de*irc the latUr,
nnd gate me n. corresponding dread of the former.
My recent trip has not changed tho eetiiaate 1
hod formed of tho comparative comfort of the two
inodes of travel. Yot, I cannot say that I regard
with nnmixed regret the MMfwilj which, at
first, I o much lauionted. Tho tioo country
through which wc traveled- the magnificent
mountain scenery which, for a wholoday comman
ded oar notice and admiration, and the generally
good fare along the line, are ixnue compensation
for tho heat, dust and confusion of railroad Lruv
tl. Having repeatedly explored what is popular
ly known as the “mosquito route,” through
Hunt baud North Carolina, curiosity induoed mo
to take the western route, through Northern
tlcorgia, Kautern Tenncsscu and South-western
Virginia—diverging from the former in our Stale
ut Mucou, and uniting with it ngaiu at Iliuhinmid,
Vo. This line introduces the traveler to some of
l bo finest grain-producing region Jn tbu world.
The country is nowhere level except in tho nur
row volleys, hut. is exceedingly fertile, even on
the summits of thu highest ridges. The small
grain wnsnll harvested, aud tho shocks upon the
ground indicated that ihe seasons had not been
|iarsiuionious of their favors. The prospect for
orn was not *o flatt< ring. Tho crops of this
ocruahin Middle und Bouth-wostorn Ooorgia nre

I have a drought, .* greater or less ex
tent, hu* prevailed, (.ini i much the largest
portion of Virgim ~ * -d hy the ro It
so erne Impossible that any thing like u support of
corn can ho reckoned on. From Knoxville to
Lynchburg lies the most romantic country 1 ever
saw. Home portions of thu scenery on the Hud
son river may equal it in grandeur, but none iu
variety and beauty. At one time the cars are
gliding along a quiet, smiling valley, decorated
with a neat cottage, in the midst of fragrant
meadows and waving corn fields, anon, all Is
darkness as they pierce tho bowels of an opposing
mountain, and, when tho light ro-nppoars, they
are trembling on tho brink of a precipice whore,
before art had run its furrows, oven tho chamois
might not safely trend. In these mountains, at
vhHous distances from the road, arc situated ihe
celebrated Virginia Springs. The Montgomery
White Sulphur, which is tho most fashionable re
sort, probably bocauso of its superior accessibili
ty, is only a mile nnd a half from tho road, and is
Itself reached by rallwuy aud mule locomotive.-
I decided not to stop here, and treated with equal
consideration the intervening cities on the route.
Arrlviug at New York, 1 found the hotels crowded
to a degree hardly aver kuuwn thus early iu tho
Nousuti. 1 was glad to meet hero John A Jones
nod Hubert Baugh, Lsqrs., of Columbus, Mr. H
H Smith, of Mobile, aud many other Southerners.
They are all stopping at the St. Mieb'das, which,
uk heretofore, is tho rendezvous of Northern and
Southern fashion. Those whose habit it Ims bceu
to ruake periodical visits to the groat metropolis,
coiuplaiu of a groat falling off iu tho accommoda
tions of this celebrated establishment. So great,
indeed, is their diesatisfaetion, that many ero
only awaiting tho completion of the “Fifth Ave
t.uo Hotel” to dmngo titoir quarters- This Is a
magnificent structure, looated about a mile high
er up the city, fronting Madison Square, and will
ho provided in a style es splendor aud comfort
superior to the “Nicholas’*even In its prime. Its
partial exemption from the noiso and promiscu
ous throng which beset a woo central position,
is not the least of its recommendations to tbo
Hunt hern visitor. It will ho opened by the 2l>th
inst., and I odviso your readers, who arc yot to
leave for New York iu quest of pleasant places, to
send thuir baggago to tho “Fifth Avenue Hotel.”
Hut I fear I weary you. Were I disposed, 1
j might, with but little nppruhonsion about tho
! result, cry, “stationary, avaunt!” end pluud tho
clrcumstancas of my position os an excuse fur
violating this engagement. Situated immediate
ly over Broadway, whore, upon a stone pavement,
rushes a torruut of oinuibustes at. a rule es a hun
ilrod a minute, making hoik day and night “hid

until 1 can, to some degree, eollect my scattered

The comparison of Crawford to Pyrrhus 4s not

The issue between tbo two p&MieAJs not so dis
tinct a* it was in the days of Whiggery and
Americanism. Then, the Whig banner Imre in
gilded letters, the principles of that old party —
the colors were borne by true and gallant men—
they faced the world and fought with their heads
erect, glorying in tho truth of what they honestly
conceived to b true principles. Americanism
fought with dark lanterns to light its path to the
goal of patriotism. Its faithful leaders were lost
amidst tho fog and mist of prejudice and passion,
and their route abandoned. To-day, they have
no political chart or compass Under the gener
al name of Opporitum, they band together. Re
pudiating platform• as unsound, they embrace
witbiu tho range of their party, all men of what
ever shade or color of opinion. An incongruous
mass, incapable of mixing, in oil and water. Yet
the bottle which contains it has for its inscription
“keep thuklny !” Tho moment this process ceas
es the affinities of each element in the mixture
draws them into lumps. Tho Opposition have
but one watchword, itown with the I)< moernn/
Their principles begin and end here. The Imp*
of spoils keep them together in home sortdf an or
ganization, but their sentiment* nre made to Knit
each particular locality from whence they are
enunciated.
They arc willing to aid tho Republican party
North, who court their favor and bow their crewt
in expectation of receiving comfort at their hand .
The Block Republicans openly proclaim that
John Bell, of Tonnessco, and Mr. Crittenden, of
Kentucky, stand near enough Utheir platform t
coalesce with them in the defeat of the Dcmoera
•y. The principle opposition journals In th
State eulogise these men, ns “pure patriot*.” Yet,
lire (.'ongreikioDfll Coo vent ion of the

Which is right ? One must he wrong. No, rea
der, though *ne in black ond the other white, they
ore near enough nliko to suit the Opposition.—
Bell aud OrUtoadea are “tree soilers” nml “true
patriots” tool Os course they are. This the Op
position will agree to. They won’t dispute about
it. A plunk iu thoir platform, constructed hy
the Opposition of Troup county, declares the de
moeracy “/#o sec/frtNo/;” another, just by it* side
that ills NUfi’oNaf for tbo spoil*—Mr. B Ii Hill
inserts the doctrine of “protection/* thereby tnji
littinfj tho slavery question ail over the country ;
the Columbus Opposition covers It wit Tia declar

Thu.wehave before us the harmonious ele

Correspondence of the Times.
Mr. Speer at latbottun Ufa Npeerh.
Taluottox, Ang. 10th, 1860.
Mesrs. Kilitar* :—On yetrday, a large and
respectable portion of tho citizen* of Talbot, were
entertained with no address from Col. Alexander 1
M Speer, tho standard-bearer of tho Democracy
of tho 3d district in tho approaching Congres
sional contest. Notwithstanding the short notice
and the inclemency of the weather, about 11
o'clock, A M., an anxious und expectant assem
bly filled the spacious Court-room.
The speaker was introduced by a simple an
nouncement from Judge McKinuey, the chair
man. lie hegau iu a manner at nnoe culm, dig
nified and conciliatory, to assure his audience
that be addressed them, not as Democrat*, hut as
fullow-citiseus. not as port leans, hut a* patriots ;
ho appealed not to their puations or their preju
dice*, hut to their reasons and judgment. He
disclaimed any im|ieachment of thu patriotism of
the Opposition party, but was willing to hoc or
to tbetu honesty of purpose equal with hi* owu ;
indeed, through the whole cuureo of his remarks,
it was ev ideut that vituperatiou and abuse were
not the weapons of hia warfare, nor did he at
tempt with ridicule to upply tho p 1.1.0 of argil
meat. He, in tho first place, assumed, that the
Opposition had abjured or held in abeyance, their
principle* on tho Catholic and Foreigu question,
upon which, under tho us me oj the American
party, they hud made their first fight, aud that
they, with the Democracy, held, that all mini r
questions wore merged in the all-idteorbing topic
of slavery and its protection. He next proceed
ed to show, that they had perpetrated the wrongs !
of which they non- make such boisterous com 1
plaint; and in hi* review of parties, he went back
to the year 1847, to the agitation of the Wiluroi
Proviso, and shpwed that it was with the aid of
tire gallant Democracy of the North, that this
iniquitous attempt to insult and degrade the
South wa* overthrown. 110 adverted to the fact,
that in 1860, it was the Southern Rights party,<>f
which by far tho greater portion was composed
of Democrats, who, by their manly stand at home
aud through their Senator* and Representatives
in Congress, wrung lVom the reluctant hands of
Northern fanaticism term* us good us were the
I'otnpromfau measures of that period, objection
able even as they were to tunny at the South.—
lie reminded his audience of the forty-four patri
ots to whom we are indebted fur the passage of
the Kansas Nebraska bill, aud the repeal of the
odious Missouri restriction. He produced the
proof that, when the principle* embodied in the
jurt interpretation of that instrument were sought
to l*c put to the test on the question of the admis
sion of Kausus under the Lecmnpton ('(.institu
tion. a majority of the Northern Democracy iu tho
House, surrounded a* they were, by tho hordes
of abolition IreosoUfam, and determined to “let
justice be done though the Heavens fall,’’ sanc
tioned with their vote* what their conscience*
approved, while the measure was defeated hy the
treachery alone oftie <Sbn/Ara American*.
He (irovoil from the record that the charge of
extravagant expenditures by the present Admin
istration, so laboriously circulated by the Oppo
sition, and composing the greater portion of their
“stock in trade” fur the present campaign, was a
tuytb,—a shadow without the substance, that the
increase of expenses incurred, wa* for tbe reduc
tion of the public debt, the necessary building.',
arsenal*, uavy yards, Ac. He said that for the
extravagancies nt the Capital, if extravagancies
they were, we are iudebted to Banks, the Black
Republican Speaker of the thirty-fourth Congress,
aud Cttllom, tho American Clerk, elected by a fu
sion of Republicans and Americans. It wa* nt
this poiut that ho alluded very happily to Mr.
Hardeman's votes in tbe last two Legislatures, on
State aid to railroads, the purchase by tho State
of the Marietta Military Institute, the endow
ment of Medical Collages, Ac., and brought home
to themind'; of the Opposition, through the medi
utn of their candidate for Congress, au ißostra
tration of the adage that “those who live in glars
hou.-c* should not throw stones.” lie spdkc
about an hour and a quarter, and closed by ex
pressing tho desire that the j>ooplc might have an
opportunity of hearing his honorable competitor
and himself on the questions at if sue.
I do not.prctond, in thi* hurried sketch, to have
touched on all tbo poiuts tnado by the speaker. —
Huffiec it to oay, Messrs. Editors, that although
wo kuow ills but too eoinrnori to indulge in ful
some praises on such occasions, yet we feel that
we can truly say, that the Democracy of Talbot
were satisfied with their leader. In his speech,
there was nothing uukind or abusive, no attempt
at ridicule, no anecdote to please without interest
ing; hnt'it was a statesmanlike effort throughout
—a solid, compact and eminently successful de
fence to every count in tho bill of indictment pre
ferred by the Opposition.

Resolved, Thai in recommending the people of
Georgia ->* ucqmoace in tbo application of tho
Missouri Compromise Lin© of 36.80t0 the Territo
ries of the United States, with a recognition ot
slavery south of that Mno, wo propose tne acqui
escence for tho sake of tbo ponce of the country,
and the preservation of tho Union.
Resolved, That it is the Constitutional right of
tho citizens to be protected iu the onjoyment in
tho public Territories of auv pepertv which by
tho law* of the State of which he is an inhabi
tant hu is nuthonzod to own, and to withhold from
him this protection is to debar him of a Consti
tutional right.
Resolved, That the Territorial policy of ma
jority of) the two houses of Congress ix to pre
vent forever tho ndmiasiou of another slave Slate
into the Union, subvert tho rights of the South in
tho Territorivw, aiidcventuuily to abolish slavery
in the Shite*, thu- converting n Government
which was estaMi-od for the protection of all, in

of its members.
Srncri.ATtox ix Wreat.—Among the -peou
lations of recant years saw have exceeded tlmt
which lately took placo in wheat. Large sums of
money have of course been lost in other scheme*.
Imt there was certainly a more rapid decline with
iu a given period iu the price of wheat than in
anything which has recently been a subject for
>peculation. In April last wheat sold in 4,'hicago
nt IH ooiit* per Ixubcl. On the breaking out of
tho war the price advanced, so that by the first of
May the same (quantity of wheat sold for one dol
lar, and on the Itlth for $1 .Iff. When it wa*
found that (lie war did not create the anticipated
demand for bread*tuff*, those who had bought
largely at the last mentioned price had good rea
son to tremble. By the first of Jdne wheat wa*
worth #1 16, on the tirst of July ‘,'2 cents, and on
the 18th only 61*. In sixty-two days there had
boon a decline of seventy-four cents per bushel.
The result, says the Chicago Journal, was of
course most disastrous to grain dealer* and spec
ulator* all along the lakes. Commission mat
chants, bankers, and nearly all concerned, have
suffered more or leas. True, a sow havo come
out of tbe Mtrugglnd unscathed, but it has been
nt the sacrifice of the many.

Thu committee having retired, in a abort time

and Resolutions : #
We, the Democratic Party of Dooly county,
continue our adherence to ail thosa principles
which have characterized us from our organiza
tion to the present time. tVe heartily endorse the
action of the recent Democratic Gubernatorial
and Congressional Conventions, and pledge to the
nominees of those conventions our hearty sup
port.
W*c take thi# occasion to express our sincere
admiration of the able aud manly course of our
.senator in Congress, the Hon. Albkvd Ivenuoa,
and particularly of the sentiments expressed in
his recent speech on the Pacific Railroad Bill.
Wc believe a failure to return him to the Senate,
would be an impliod repudiation of those senti
ments, which would weaken the cause of the South,
at home aud abroad, aud encourage the renewal
of aggresriont apon us by the North.
Wo can see no reason for departing fWwi old
party land marks in making nominations, and bc
lieva any other system than by convent ion, tends
to destroy all good feeling, all concert of action,
thus, dividing our strength and weakening our
power. Therefore be it,
A ’ctolced, That this meeting recommend tho
Democracy of the various District* in the county,
to call District meetings on the third Saturday in
this month, and that each district send t hree dele
gate* to a county Convention, to be held in Vien
na, on tbo first Tuesday in September, to make
suitable nominations to represent us in the next
Legislature.
On motion, the preamble and resolution were
then unanimously adopted.

Tbe Editor of the Augusta lUtpauk, a paper
supporting tho claims of A. K. Wright, E*q. t to a
seat iu Congress in tho Bth District, thus write*
from Atlanta about the recent Convention to-wit:
” About fib counties were represented. Very
few were present from tbe Stb District, und before
the Convention the sentiment of the delegate*
from the counties all along the Georgia rail
road, was that of hostility to running candidate.
But other council* prevailed, and the State fa to
bo atHieted with another canvas* in which there
fa a woftrt barrennes* of issues at stake, and a
gloomy prospect ol accomplishing anything for
unybody by iho contest.
I cannot help regarding tho policy of making
any nomination another of tbe series of blunders
that have characterized the American party from
it* inception. It will draw party linos over dead
issue*, ami damage the pro|*ects of several mem
bers of Congress who desired to forego party con
sideration* ; it will elect nobody—carry out no
principle—aud may defeat soifte able and good
men, who are tired of party fatu. Entertaining these
view* there fa no reason why the Dispatch should
sustain the nomination of the Oppositiou Conven
tion.

we doubt whether the verse* of the Lake poetxtt?
where exhibit such eoio|.actue* and r.*tnndky,
or such a musical unim >f aound and seruio.
It is not (iur intenti-.n to go into a critical an
alysis of the por in. We fowl that our humid* pen
is not adequate to the task, but -nr reader* will
pardon ua if we call attention to afw ut its bean
ties. -:,.’4 r
Tho poet begins with no long invocation of the
Mum*, no fluttering dedication, but plunge* at
<uce into tbo subject “The grass bnp|K*T sen
the sweet potato* vine.” What ft lovely scene--
the gay and gorgeous insect enjoying his otium
rum tliymtate; hoe<He*a of core, ( uiuily rcj.oses
n hi* chosen seat, a sweftttotnto vine. Hero
mark Hit* exquisite taste of the poet; no ordina
ry potato but a sweat potato vine, support the lux
urious grasshopper.
The mscno i* one of peace, contentment nnd
happiness. The next lino i* full of solemn warn*
ing. “The Turkey Gobbler came up behind.”—
The verou* seem lo move on with a calm stately
puce to tho denouement. The Turkey is evident
ly the villain of the peace, else why ibe oppro
brious opithet of the “gobbler,” with which the
author stigmatize* him. The plot thickens, and
rapidly approaches it* final eonsummatioiK “And
yanked him oil of the sweet potato vine.” It is
difficult at first to a; ; deviate the full force of this
tremeudou line. The word yanked alone ex
press volumes. We see the fiendish grasp of the
gobbler—th dispairiag clutch with which tho
victim clings to the sweat potato vine, and scour
to hoar hi* agonizing shrieks as he pass®* from
the light of day int another world. The catas
trophe of the poem, is indeed sublime. As an
allegory, its mural is most instructive. We know
.*f no aotig which would have been more appro
priate for tho occasion in which it was sung, for
are we all not grasshopper* sitting in fancied se
curity upon soma sweet potato vine, while the all
consuming gobbler, Time, i* stealing “uo behind”
to sooner Mr later “yank” us off, or eat away the
frail vine or. which we rest.”

A Good tuino ix the Stoby Ltxis. —Some
years ago, a Cineiqn%ti paper received and print
ed the first chapter of what appeared to be a
most thrilling romance, with the expectation of
being provided with the concluding portions a*
they might be needed. Tho chapter was very
ingeniously written, and concluded by leaving
the principal character suspended by tbe panta
loons, from tbe limb of a tree, over a perpendicu
lar precipice. It attracted tbe attention of the
press, and inquiries began to be made concerning
the continuation of the fate of its hero. Day
after day the victimized publisher* looked for tho
remaining chapters, but in vain. They never
eatno to hand. Finding they had been sohl, and
wishing to put a stop to tho jokes their c(.tem
poraries had been cracking at their expense, they
briefly concluded the story thus :

After hanging to the tranche 10 u* tree for four
week*, hi* pantaloons gave way, and Charles
MclvUlo rolled headlong over the yawning preci
pice.
Ho fell a fli*lance of five miles, and came down
with t>e small of hi* back across a stake aud
ruler fence, which *0 jarred him that he was com

fant present resuling. lie i. engaged in the
butchering business, and is the father of a large
family of children.
Ax Kxqiusitk Itktout.—lt is related of Bun
van that, in tho height of hi* usefulnc.” in and
about Loudon, the bishop of tbe metropolis had a
eariolty to see him. Tho eoaebtaan ofthe bis
hop wa* a frequent hearer of Buuyan. and the
bishop had t*bl him that. Whenever iu rid
ing out of town,he should chance to meet Mr.
Banyan, Ue wh-hed to see and speak with htuu.—
One day, as John wa< driving his lordship in a
portion of the suburb*, Runyan wassecn plodding
hfa way on font, with his bundle under his arm,
goiug oat to preach somewhere in tue outskirts.
“Yourgraoc,” said John, “bore comes Mr.
Banyan.”
“Ah ?” said the hfahop; “ hold up the horses
when you overtake him. and let tne spook to him.*
They were soon at his side, the horses war*
checked, and tho bishop bowed, saying :
“Mr. Banyan, 1 believe!”
“Yes. your grace,” said itunyau, courteously
responding.
“ Mr. Banyan, *’ said the bishop, “ I ntit toMyou
are very ingenioos m on interpreter of the Scrip
tures. and l have a difficult passage in uy mind,
about which tbe critics nro in dispute, and of
which 1 would be glad to have your view. It is
St. Paul's message to Timothy : “ The cloak that
I left at Troas with ('arpn •. when thmi comest,
bring with thee ; and the books, especially tbe
i%rcnmeut.'*
” WHI. your grace,” replied Buoran, * it is al
lowed, I believe, by all, (bat Timothy was a bis
hop of tho primitive church, uud l'aul, a nil
agree, wa-a traveling preacher. It appears to
me this may bavif been designod in future days, to
teach that in primitive time* thn bishops wera ae
customed to wait upon Jbo traveling preachers ;
whereas, in our days, the bishops ride in their
coaches, ami the traveling prcoi hers, liku l*aul,
are mituled to go ‘afoot.’ ’’
