Now w lave tho OoMStitulion end tbo .Supreme Court in >ur favor, and in addition to tbfo, we have tin pecuniary interest of the whole people of tbe Uni od States ou our side. Wo a:<k .ludgo Iverson j >r any other man to point out in what respect, oi j iu wnat mmiuer, slavery can bo hcnclitted by din loioii. Slavery is nw under the protection o. be Constitution and Laws of thb United States she power ol the Federal Oovernrncnt ban won (ban on<Mi beeu exerted effectually for its prosur >allow and protoclion, and it appears hi us ilk. jnackery in politics, to invoke disunion as u n-mcdy for every assault upon Slavery, when tin whole power of the government is pledged for it proteetton. Wo would not hesitate to leave tin Union if we could not enjoy our Cousiitutionni rights iu it, disunion would nut remedy the evib of which Judge Iverson complains, hut would in crease many of them ten-fold. If the Union wac dissolved fanaticism would still exist nt the North, slaves would f!ill runnwuy us they do uow to Cun ada, and would never bo reclaimed, and the poo pie of each new Territory, then, as now, would have the privilege when they formed their Con stitution of tolerating or rejecting Hia very. What then can we gain by disunion to hcuclit Slav ery i Judge Iverson proposes if a Black Republican •dioutd be elnrted President, that a Republic lie imuindiuUdy termed out of the Htate* of H.

He admit* lie was ORflein litvor of SqiiHt'cr Sovereignty, but has uow vi brated from that point, to disunion. Men who swing from one extreme to another liko the pndilium of a clock, are not very safe moii to fellow. They may jump Jim Crow, when no one uxpects it. We did not follow Mr. Ivor •on In liis Bqmitter .Sovereign sensation, and wc are not prepared to follow him now. Wo wonld j bo willing to go into disunion if wo thought the South could gain anything bv it. Wo think the South ia abundantly able and wilting to protect heretdf against all of tho assaults of the A bob Gen ista in the Union. The people of the South are prosperous ami happy, uud a thousand Iverson’s could not convince them to (he contrary. If the people of Uoliforuia or Kansas want slavery, they cun have it at any time, if they dou't want it, wo nave no power to to roe it upon them, nor would our going out of tbo Union alter tbeir condition in the least.

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 ing to act with tho democracy. To such he **LL that whilst he regretted it* lo a* much a* any bodyoonld, ff it should bo finally lost, that tbe great ‘‘Oppooitton party” bad done more to pro duce the result, than bad the Democracy. He then asked them how many of the Opposition par to had helped to make Kansas a slave State ? Every man they had North bad voted against the repeal of the law which hod for .14 years prohibit ed slavery in that Territory—not only so. hut that one-third of the ummi they had in the of Re presen tat ivea from the South, hod done the same thing; every man of she great National Opposition, said he voted oitber for Fremont or Fillmore in 1868. both of whom were violently opposed to the repeal of that law. Whilst w wore endeavoring to make it a slave State, your public men and papers were declar ing Hint Kau* never could be a slave Htate, and yonr candidate for Governor two years ago 1 said that for the passage of the Kansas bill itaolf, ’ wc were a sot of clamorous agitators, dividing the country for vote*, and only vote*. And yet, said tho speaker, notwithstanding everything ’ which you said and did, a pro-slavery Uonstitu -1 tion wo* formed for Kansas, and sent op to the l President. This Democratic Executive sent it to - u >tm Humming it, tbence it came to ’ the House, whore lld votes would have brought it in, tbo Northern Democrat* gave for it* ad mission 31 out of 61, the Mouth gave out of its Bfi present, 81 for it* admiHsion, making 112, allthat was then wanting to bring her in, wan 4 votes more. You of the American party had tt, and if you had wanted her to come iu then why were ’ they withheld ? Why dM )i slaveholders of the American party turn the scale against tbeir section and rote with 1M Black Republican* aud 20 anti-Lecorupton Democrat*, and thus defeat thi* Kauso* admis sion ? At this point of the argumeut, it was an nounced that hi* time had expired, and be said he would conclude by saying that the treachery of Umm© Southern men had created the necessity for a conference between tbo two Houses, and brought about tho Conlcr uce bill, which, he said he was prepared to show, Sacrificed no principle and did unt violate the Georgia Platform.

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.

Thi* pretty sentence meant nothing. There was nothing in it tangible. Mr. Douglass paid hi* respects to the Timet in his remark*.

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.
