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.

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 the host I have seen Through ull tho country 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Thu committee having retired, in a abort time returned, and submitted the following Preamble 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.

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.
