Judge Iverson proposes if a Black Republican

He was followed by Hon. Robert Toombs, who
spoke about an hour. His speech was devoted
chiefly to a review of tho political history of the

Mraars. * ran ford and Douglass DDruulun Bar- (
harur.
Messrs. Crawford am/%ougla*". opposing can
didates for Congress in Un* 2d District, met the
first time in discussion t OaldUh Chattahoochee
county, on the IHth Inst. A large crowd was
present, oomposod of ladies and.gentlemen. The
discussion was opened hy Mr. Crawford andoon
cluded by Mr. Douglass. Without disparaging
the latter, who is a fair Representative of his par
ty, a good speaker, an honorable mao, we can
truthfully say, it was not much of a fight. Mr.
Crawford had greatly the advantage in point of
oratory, information and logic and drove hi*
competitor home with little or no difficulty. The
Democracy were dUigbted with the result and
promise that Chattahoochee wili be true to her
faith and principle*. We give below an epitome
of the address of the first speaker.
Mr. Crawford commenced his speech by saying
that as tbeir Representative for the laxt four years
in Congress, and as the candidate of the Htatos
Rights Democracy of th 2d District for re-elec
tion, he appeared before them to give an accocht
of his official conduct .md bin opinion* upon tho
futon: of our country. He spoke of bis efforts
faithfully to reprwnt their views and widiev, and
that he had novor failed to do that which be be
lieved to be for the bolt interests of his section and
for the country at lurge ; that he had at all rimes
and f>rall persons, not only of the District but
of tbe c>tnte, endoavorod to do whatsoever he could
to serve them either before Congress or at the v a
rious department* of the Government, and should
he be returned again, it would bo ills purpose to
follow in the same lino. Ho alluded in happy
and glowing terms, to our preseut prosperous con
dition, the immense amount of wealth annually
added to our people by the products of our great
staple*, that our country presented to the world
<AiuOru tdoiancf gallant dead, tba t we were at
peace with all foreign nations, and so fur a* they
wore concerned, enjoyed perfect and undDfurbod
repose.
But whilst this is trutp of our foreign relations,
be regretted to say that a deadly foe still disturb
ed our quiet mid tracked us to our homes. The
groat Anti-Hlavcr party at the North, not content
to regulate and control their own affairs, is ever
endeavoring to regulate and control ours; this
sentiment once despised, has now grown so great
as to till us with alarm and approbennh n. For
thirty years it hsb been annoying us, as well as
robbing u* ofonrproperty ; ho, ur they well know,
ton year* ago, thought that this question ought to
have been met and forever settled ; or we ought
to have dissolved our connection with them. The
compromises of lbjU furnished ample grounds in
his judgment for such a cause, and that, with
others, he had appealed from the actiou of tbe
Government to tbe people them Helves ; the people
decided to stand by tiie Government and laid
flown the ground*) of thoir future resistance ; and
upou those grounds he bad planted himself, and
iu good faith he intended to tttand by them to the
end. Having so decided, it became us as pru
dent and wise mea, to look full in tho face our
actual condition.
How stand we then in the Union? The free
States number 18, tbe slave States 16, giving them
a majority of 8; in the election of a President,
they have a majority io the electoral college 0f63
votes, in the Senate they have a majority of ti
votes against us, in tho House of IteprtiHout.vtlvce
they have a still more decided majority, it being
67 ; how then aeked he, oiight we to act ? Did it
not become ns, therefore to bring to our assis
tance a sufficient number of these Northern men
to aid us in tbe preservation of our Constitutional
rights ? No man could be so stupid as uot to ace
this necessity. To whom then cun we look?-
Certainly not to the Black Republican party;
for it has laid flown its line of policy, which re
sults in our ruin, if successful; they propnsv the
instantaneous repeal of the fugitive slavo law; the
Wilmot proviso for the Territories; tbe abolition
of slavery iu the District of Columbia; 4he re
moddrlJing of tho Huprome Court: aud lastly to
put the Government permanently against slavery.
The speaker then paid the Democratic party a
most deserving aud powerful eulogy, reviewing
its past history and services to the country, and
its ever ami devoted attachment to tho Constitu
tion and to tho rights of the Htatos. Although
weakened and thinned by the combined powers
of Black Republicans North, and Know Nothings
South, be still had faith in it., recuperative
strength and energy as well as confidence in its
glorious ani constitutional principle*.
Ho then turned his attention to tho Black Re
publican party, which now oouidltutu tho North
ern wing of the great “Opposition party ;** ho
j showed it* course upon every groat measure
touching slavery, whuro it had stood, bow it bad
acted, and how It had grown, and the danger
which would follow its further growth and pow
er. After showing their past, history, he then
showed its future purpose to ho to drive out slave
labor from thecouutry, and to establish free la
bor in its stead ; aud to accomplish this, tbeir
fl rat effort was to ‘ dislodge tbe Democracy from
the Government,” and, strange to say, an effort
was uow on foot, all over the country; said ho, to
gather together all the al aments of Opposition to
tiie Democracy, North aud South.
This charge he made upon a thorough examin
ation of all tiie facts connected with this recent
Opposition movement. lie could see no reason
for a change of name hy tho South Americans ;
tho.v had for four years gloried in it. and theoniy
satisfactory solution oflt to his mind was. that
they intended to change the mime, so as to unite
to drive the Democratic party from power, which
could not he hrogbt about by auy agreement in
principle between them. Black Republicans
cannot take, nut live at home, the principles or
namo of the Amwrioon party ; nor can Aiuericau*
take the name and prinoiplef of the Block Repub
licans and live a* a party organisation intheHonth-
Still they cau safely take, North and South,
the name of “Opimaitiou party” uud unite to
drive from power the Democracy, and ]>rhKp*
loso none of their strength at either placo. lie
then showed that a* these two parties North and
South bad in tho last Presidential race a popular
majority of over three hundred thousand votes
that they were able by combination to carry the
next election.
He offered iu support of these apprehensions,
tirst, tho statement of Mr. Seward that the Demo
cratic party ws under the control of the slave
power, and for that reason the great Opposition
party of the North should endeavor to drive it
forever from power. The next reason was, that
| the Fillmore Americans at the North, in the last
twelve months, had bccu lining every effort in
their power to bring about a union with the Rlack
Republican Opposition. It might be said, that
if this had been done, there wa* no evidence to
show that South Americans were willing to any
Mich thing, and therefore, lie would give what
evidence ho had to *how their complicity iu this
affair; he alluded to the speoch of the Hon. Mr.
Rives, of Vo., in Richmond. The #|>oeeh of the
lion. John Minor Butts, a leader of the groat
South American party, wburoiu ho made the
proposition directly and in terms to the Black
Republicans, lu the No# York speech which he
made last February, aud wherein he said, the
first thing to he done was to gel rid of the Demo
cracy, aud that the only way to do it was, by a
union of all the elements of opposition toil, and
theu called upon the Republicans to uuile with
Southern American* in forming a j art riot iu,
Hdy Alliance” to meet them at Waterloo in
laffii, and exterpate them forever. He further
offered in testimony, the articles from the Rich
mond Whig, wherein that paper says that the
term# of ttuion proposed are, discarding for the
present the uame* of Whig#, American# end Black
Republicans, aud act under the uame <4’ “Oppo
sition,” Ho then naid, that the evideuce in our
own State led hint to the conclusion that the Op*
position lenders had determined u|mu the same
course, and hi# reason* therefor, were, that the
Executive Committee of the American party in
pursuance of a common purpfite with those other
more Northern leaders, bad stated to their party,
that although requested tocalhbe American par
ty into convention, bed expressly refuted to do so, .
and dttrnumed to “eall upon their friends every. ,
where to unite iiih tKt UftpotUio*” and that the
highest duty of every good cifixeti waa, not to
put down Black Republicanum, net to protect
our pro-slavery Interests, hut to hurl the Decoct a
eyfrer* putetr. Upon thi* branch of hi* subject,
lm referred to the various county meetings where
tin xiMise resolution*bad hewn paanod. Tbe speak
er then called upon the hone©! American, who,
glorying in his name and principles, and had at
heart tho groat interest of bis home and fireside,
his wife and little once, to put hi* foot Upon this
mot cutout, p<l so far tu he •* eoneerned. con
demn it forever.
Home had said, that, but tor the Conference bill
and the ldfea of Kansas, that they would be will

that whilst he regretted it* lo a* much a* any

then asked them how many of the Opposition par

Every man they had North bad voted against the
repeal of the law which hod for .14 years prohibit

that one-third of the ummi they had in the
of Re presen tat ivea from the South, hod done the

Fillmore in 1868. both of whom were violently
opposed to the repeal of that law.

Why dM )i slaveholders of the American party

Mr. Douglas* In Columbus
Mr. Marcoilun Douglass, the Opposition candi
date for Congreo* in tbe 2d district, made a j*>ech
in Temperance Hall on Friday night, the 18th
inst. The Opposition made every effort toward*
a graud demonstration and Introduced their
ntaodard Imarer with a flourish of trumpet*. Tbe
Bras* Band was called into requisition, and the
boys aud a few of the more tealou* partisans
i adored along the pavements ftoiu #<mw p-int
near the Planter’s Hotel to tbo Temperance Hall.
Tbo boy* were pretty boisterous, and nothing was
lacking to make the demonstration imposing be
yond description, but Mr. Judge's banner* and
red pepper from Alabama. Mr. Jamas Johnon,
of Columbus, made a speech before introducing
Mr. Douglas*, which, a* usual, was like a two
edged sword, cutting his own party just about a*
deep a* the Democratic. He talked about the
$40,000 returned into the Htate Treasury from the
State Road by Gov. Brown every month, as be
ing nothing, and grew mdignaut thfft the Gover
*o. uitujo a tern it at the Governor for his poHB
oy in relation lo,lbe Banka. All of which will
recoil I,nek upon hi* own party in the dintriet.
Mr Douglas* followed Mr. Johnson in a laugh
able, entertaining -p-ech. He made no cifort at
argument aud turned the little aide qn-uoDi to a
ver J good account. As far as we were capable of
judging, hi* apeech wa satisfactory to bis party,
ft certainly was to the Democracy. He made
himself vulnerable in man y poium, however, which
he will feel before the canvas* is over.
It would be iiupoosible to follow him through
his speech, were it of interest to our readers.—
Suffice it to -ay, he U'gau hi* speech, u. the one
we listeued to at Cuaseta, —that he was the prose
cutor iu the district, and Judge Crawford the
culprit and the people the jury. That be inten
ded to find him guilty of many count* in his bill
of indictment lie said tbe English bill rejected
Ktiutta* admission into the Union ! In Cusseia,
he was little doubtful a* to thi* statement, and
when called on by Mr. Crawford to prove that
it wan correct, be said that it was rejected or
“about to he rejected'” Mr. Crawford wa> satis
fied. Mr. Johnson, however, has convinced him,
perhaps, since, that it really was rejected, and
Mr. Douglass will stand by his first assertion.—
The speaker alluded in glowing torus to hi* love
for foreigner* —denounced Cass’ doetrin*—and
j went In strongly for the protection of naturalised
j citizens ai the ballot box, and all the privileges of
j the native born. (What has become of those
■ Know Nothing oaths, Mr. Douglas* took against
the foreigners > Hince his candidacy, the “rich
Irish brogue” is swoet to his car* (?)
Mr. Douglass said he was willing to nnlte with
all parties in putting down the Democratic—that
the stArxxr antT avion just cbamb—that the
slavery question ought not to ho disoutsed !
Fray* Mr. Douglas*, with whom do you co-oper
ate ? The Opposition in Alabama demand yrn
tection to our stave property in tbe teiritorie*
tbe only agitatiug question now, which threatens
the dissolution of the Democratic party and dis
! * urb tbe Union-worshippers at the Houth : sod )
■<*y in bold word# that the cessation of the agita- |
tion of slavery is an a HAwnoNV kxt of our mottra!
j Do you stand with the Opposition of Alabama ?
I Do you stand with your leader, the lion. B. H.
J Hill who agitatf thi* question in l.i* Dudley let
| ter and demands protection ‘ Who are you with
| Mr. Dougla-s ?
j The Speaker made a fling at the Nashville Con
| volition of which Mr. <’rawford w* an advocate;
j said he loved the “glorioufl Union still, bad as it
j was,” bat if the Abolitionist* would do this and
i would do that —if they imuld aggress npon us,
hn would commence the fight in Washington, n*t
at home ! Thi* pretty sentence meant nothing.
There was nothing in it tangible. Mr. Douglass
paid hi* respects to the Timet in his remark*. Ho
said wo cla**ilmi the Opposition to the Democra
cy a* allies of th Republicans. W* have only
alluded to the position assumed by some of the
Uadert of the party and endeavored to warn be
people against giviug aid and comfort to the ene
my. Wo call none of our follow-cititou* Aboli
tionists, but introduce argument* to show wbat
cannot he denied that there was a great national
opposition party to the democracy—tho Republi
cans ofihu North and tho American- of theHoutb,
both called the v/tpoeition party, and both uppoe
the Democracy. They surely canuot agreo upon
the slavery question, unless tbo South Americans
cry peace ! don’t agitate ! and thereby unite with
the Republicans with all their threat* just to get
the spoil* !
But we reserve, until another occasion, a full
refutation of tne statement* made by Mr. Drnig.
las* in his Temperauee Hall *pcccfi~ -at which
time allusion will be made to his love for the for
eigner*. his love for the Union, his Know noth
ing proclivities heretofore, his cut at the fire-eat
ers of 1860, hi* position of antagonism with the
leaders of hi* party, his repudiation of Bell and
Crittenden, hi* stabbing Hill and Trippe to get at
Crawford on the English bill and other questions,
uot thought of at thi# moment. Let fbe Demo
crats be firm in thi# District. Mr. Douglass’s
s|>ecch ha# rallied to Mr. Crawford's banner many
true and sound Democrats, who were disposed to
vote tor Gen. Bethune. The great noise made
over tbe'city has warmed cold democrats into life,
who will desert the Bethune standard and come
back to their own fold. A better policy for the
Democracy could not have been pursued, than
for Mr. Douglass to *peak iu Coiumbu*. The lost
havo been found, aud there is groat rejoicing in
the Democratic household. Crawford will sweep
tbo District!

we will not allude to the positions assumed by
him. and especially his dislike to see abused so
heartily, tho aroh-traitor, William 11. Seward, of

published a Card, iu which be attempts to make
capital for himself, by saying that I had refused
to make arrangement# to include him. in such dis

Douglass and myself.
In reference to thi* matter, I have only to say
that 1 know of hat two political partie4 in thi*
District, one is composed of Democrats, tbe other
of the “Opposition” to Democracy. And a* the
•Opposition party” had the undoubted right to
-elect iu own candidate, and *aw fit to ckeoee

no alternative left me bas to arrange for discus

This manifestation of confidence from so large I

tendered, and that, too, uot only without aolicßa

as they have been detailed to me- -it imposes an
obligation upon me to yield to the demand of my

from, however reluctantly I assume tbe position
assigned me. I, therefore, accept the nomination;
and fully approve and cordially endorse the de

A* it was knuwu to many of tbe member* of

ning a race which the owners of Kuglish hurrv*
have for months been planning and scheming to
obtain. Mr. Ten Bruerk made uo secret of the
confidence which he placed in his horse, and
scarsely a man in th# ring “missed laying,” and
that success, although attained by on “outsider,”

In 1844 the action of the goneral conference
was such a# to lead to the formation of tbe Metho
dist Church South, and, under Dr. Sehon. a
Southern Church was organised in Cincinnati,
and its place of worship known a* Sonic Chapel.
Jkfiispenr t£e Sabbath preced
ing in Cincinnati, and worshipped at Soule Chap
el. On Sabbath, the noted Dr. I new Bishop,)
Pierce was to preach th© morning *ermoo, aud
expectation stood ou tip-toe The bodfc wa
orswded, T bv nging was led by that prince of
cboistere, John G n; and by his side sat
hi* honor, Judge McLane, who joined heartily io
the worship. After the opening service, the pas
tor stepped to Bishop Soule, and asked him if he
would enter the pulpit and conduct the conclud
ing service*. He declined, aud suggested Dr.
H——-r, an antique littlo man, with sharp fea
ture*, sharp spectacles set astride a sharp nose, a
sharp cut coatee, aud a sharp appearance geuer
ally. Dr. Sehou approached him, and said, iu
low tones :
‘Dr. H ■ will you conduct the closing
exercises ?*
‘Yea, sab,’ was the response; showing the ef
fect of ateocintion upon hi* dialect, and entering
the pulpit, he took hi* seat.
. Tbe sermon won all that could have been de
sired j it more than ruet expeetation. end the
preacher sat down amidst great exoitement.
Dr. H seeiued to think that an exhorta
tion from himself would be a glorious climax ;
and briskly arising, hymn-book iu hand, ad
vanced to tbe Irunt of tbe pulpit, and, with his
peculiar pronunciation, began :
“How thankful, friends, ought we to be
To Him who brought us here to see
Thi* lovely Sabbath morning!”
(G —n, the chorister, never dreamed of an
exhortation after that sermon ; and catching the
line# aa I>r. H read them, found them
“fonrtk particular metre.’ rose, with th© Judge
by hi-’ side, and ‘farted the tune to often *ung to
that gloriou- old bymu.
‘'Goa* on uiy partners in distress.”
Louder and louder rolled his clear, strong voice
over that sea of head* :
“How thankful, friends, ought we to he,” etc.
Poor Dr. ll——— wa# bewildered. Turning to
Dr. Sehon, ho said.
\Sab, they ore singing my exhortation f*
‘Never mind,’ said Sehou, whose faoe, always
rubicund, was seven time# redder than its wont;
‘never mind; wait till they’re through.”
•But, sah. they are singing tuy exhortation!’
By this time John and the Judge were through,
repeat and ail, aod looked up most patiently for
Dr. H to‘give out more.’ Ho, however.
looked at them steadily, and laid down bis book,
-ayiug—
'W oil, you’re the greatest singers here I ©ver
I heard! \ou not only sing a man's hym but
you sing hia exhortation too ! Let’* pray
How fervently the utiuiater* and audience join
od iu that prayer may be imagined. Dr.
Sehon forgot his notice#; and they do say that to
thih day (J a insist- that exhortations, if
ever #o good, ought not to be set to “two-eighths
and oue-sixth.”

Hurrah Tor Georgia Her Wealth and ram.:|
W# learn, that in consequence of the large in
crease return of taxable property to the Comp
troller Geueral, the Governor and that officer
have felt authorised to reduce the per cent, tax to
j six and a half touts on the one hundred dollars.
This per cent, being eonsidwred sufficient to raise
the annual tux of three hundred and seventy-five
thousand dollars required hy law. The percent.
lat year wo* seven and a half cents a tho hun
dred dollars. The return of taxable property this
year over lost, is about sixty millions, go much
for the last Legislature in enacting a law, making
Receivers of Tax Returns assessors iu certain
case*.
Before this year, and under the ad ralortm sys
tem, no exception coaid be taken to the returas,
however low, of u tax payer, by the Receiver :
and this being the case, many persons returned
their property very low—much lower than their
neighbor*: and others owning similar property,
negroe* in some instances, being put at an aver
age value of tw... three and four hundred dollars,
while others valued similar projierty at live, six
and se\eu hundred dollar*.
The act of 1868, made it the duty of the Re
ceiver to examine all the returns, and to see that
all property was valued properlv, and as nearly
uniform a* possible. The result is above stated.
The State Tax of Georgia, at this time, is in
deed, low not being two-thirds of a mill on the
dollar. Just think of It! I'ndei our tax system
a person owaiug two hundred dollars and under!
only pays a poll tax of twenty-five cents ! And
as others owning more than two hundred dollars
are put up-*n the same footing, a tax payer who
own- five hundred dollars only pays a poll and
property tax of forty-four and a half cants—one
owning one thousand dollars only pays seventy
seven cents—ono owning five thousand dollars,
only pays throe dolllrs and thirty-seven cents-!
one owning ten thousand dollar*, only paying six
dollars and sixty-two cant*, and so on.
Where is the .State that l>eats Georgia for
wealth and low taxes ?
