The 7Vmm of the HUh Injt, charged that every
vote given fur Douglass in this district, afforded
*‘oneouragetuont and comfort to th Black He

wince, nnd he said in his speech at Temperance
Hail, that it was ungenerous in the democracy to
uw towards him and his party, such opprobrious
remarks, and that he would not suffer hi m del I
provoked tale making such offensive remarks
‘gains: tin Democracy, ‘yet ho would pronouuuo
Me charge unworthy nru! untrue.” But in the

to put down the Democratic party, aud for this

Mr. Douglas*

et, tho l’aot that hi* ©lootlon under till* alliance
will afford “encouragement and oomfurt” to the
Northern wing of bis army, is too oSbuatv© to bv

WhAt is the policy of Seward and the Black
Republicans ? They boldly proclaim that they
will never abatoon© jot or tittle of their opposi
tion to slavery until all the States of the Aniorl*
cun Union aro cither slave States or free States;
by which it u dear that they mean, that the total
oxtinclion of slavery wherever it exists, is the
only end to their fanaticism, and it is for the ao
oomplUhmont of ibis avowed purpose that they
seok the destruction of the deuiocraoy, that party
which ha* stood as a Gibraltar In their pathnsy
for more than a quarter of a century.
It ia with those that Mr. Douffliaaproclaim*hi*
willingness to unite, iu order to put down the
Democratic party, the only party that has proven
suffi iout to stay th© title of abolition fnuati
cisfo. Was ever arrogance and presumption so
bold ? That a man with such a proclamation
upon bl<* lips, should stand up before the voters
cf the 2d Congressional district and ask them to
*anction such an alliance by elevating him to the
high and responsible position of their reprwen
tatJve in CunTtuas? Z .
Voters of the 2d district, it is a reflection upon
your Southern patriotism ‘ /

FOR TUR TIMKS.
.V<**re. Editor* .*—l was particularly struck
with a position a-ssuuml by Mr. Douglass, in his
■*po< eh nt Temperance IIhU, on Inst Friday cvc
uiug. He denounced Mr. Crawford for charging
upon him and hia party, that they were in nUl
anco with the Black Republican piytv, and in a
sow Wreaths theroafler. convicted himself of hav
ing goue iuto that alliance body tad soul. The
fact* are too plain, and such as him nor any ono
of hia party will pretend to deny: they have
placed themselves side by side with Urealy A Cos.,
uuMutihiug ,
of offering insult t<*
poaing the alliance.
Mow, what aro the facta!’ Dot the people read,
ponder and consider well, Mr. Urecly the hoa-1
and front ol tbo Black Republicans, suys sec
tional issues must be laid aaido—tho si avow
question must, for the nonce, l>e ignored, uud nil
opp-.sed to Democracy, and in favor of a change
an governmental affairs, must meet and crush out
th Democracy. Tho Republicans* uiuhi concili
ate the Fillmore men, the l'remonters anal tho
South Americans. The plan is succeeding but
too well. The American party that was, appear
before the country as tho Opposition party, and
Mi*. Douglas, the organ in this district, pra
claiiua from the stand in Temperance Hall, that
tho slavery question must bo ignored—that the
South luust cease Uor agiUliou of this voxod ques
tion, and (hat they should open their arms and
tako within thoir embrace*, tbo whole united
Opposition party, of whatover shade or color.—
Verily, we havo happened npon •(range times,
whou a candidate for Congress, in tloorgia, will
dare staud up uud counsel affiliation nr mu alli
ance wilh our most villainous and trenchorons
foe. It is useless for Mr. Douglass to deny that
he and hia party aro iu alliance with Ureely.—
Have they not said their whole object was to
break up the Democratic party? and bas not
Greely put forth the same as the cardinal doc
trine of bis party ? How can any man, without
prejudice in hia soul, say thoro U no alliance
here? We will grant that Mr. Douglass has
very unwisely placed himself ou tho same plunk
with the Blaok Republicans, but, his duty m u
Southern patriot, is to get off the tbiug and ex
pose it, and then run the Congressional race on
his merits as a statesman.
Mr. Douglass talked very loudly about meeting
the Black Kepuclioau vandals beneath the dome
of tho Capitol, aud there commence tb© fight,
and not come home to commotio© it. Mr. Doug
iaas, however, does not anticipate a single ripple
iu the soa of politics at Washington, should
the democracy b© overthrown. Well, l should
not either, for Greely could then have things
just as he wanted It, and when the eiavo
trado between tho States, was abolished, the Uni
ted States Supremo Court remodeled, and tb*
Fugitive Slave law repealed, Mr. Douglass would
see too much beauty in this glorious Union to
tho dome of tne or onTJeorgm'aort.’ Cli
like bis Tciiuchsoo Captain, he ran before he
ever ham a captain, and you can’t get to the
mark now that he has a prospect of getting to be
one. He ran in 18D0, and ho is ruuniug yet, and
be will continue the trot as long as life is s,.ored.
I accuse no man in Georgia of being a Black
Republican, but I do boldly accuse them of giviug
| them aid ond comfort in their etfortx to crush out
the Democracy. They for no principles,—
they propose no public measure* —they at © simply
before the country on tho question of routing the
democratic party, horse, foot and dragoon, to
kill thorn so dead that they will never rise again
to carry on the war of extermination until there
U not a “greasy spot’’ left of theta. This is th©
banner and its mottoes under which Mr. Doug
lass and his party aro fighting, and this Is the
banner and its mottoes under which the Black
Republicans, Fillm<>reite*, and Fremonters are
fighting- Will Georgians endorse such a party 1
A party without the first singlo principle to
stand before the country with. I think not.
There has another very sudden change taken
place In Mr. Douglass nod his party, within tho
past two years, which I shall call their attention
to in a subsequent number. 1 write this to
arouse or hurt no man’s feelings, for tho Oppo
sition party is composed of men whom I am
proud to recognize a* warm and kind-hearted
fricud*. They are in errof, and must excuse me
if I place that error iu the strongest light possible;
my only object being to induce them, having seen
its hideous deformities, to abandon it.
Friends of the Opposition, there list concealed
in tbis whole matter, an adder, which is to inflict
h deadly sting, if yon help to nurse it.

Thk Atlantic Telegraph Cable.—The
cause of tho failure of this onbl© bus at length
been discovered. It ha* been ascertained that
tho gutta peroba used to insulate tho interior
wiro* i.s only cumulated to bear a heat of 1)0°
When the first cable was made, it was coiled
in a yard having a southern exposure, and subjec
ted for several days to an extraordinary host,
the thermometer ranging at 94 degrees’ in tb
shad©—the heat on the cubic, from the sun’s rays,
being at leant 130 dogroes. The consequence was,
that tho gytta percha was softened, and the In
ternal copper wires workod through and came in
contact with tho external iron wire, aud who i tbu
water peuctrated to tho internal core, communi
cations ceased.
According to Senator Badger, the princi
ple ol non-intervention rocogni/ed by the legis
lation of I8;0. and incorporated in the Kansas-
Nebraska act of 1854, was a distinct, unequivocal
repudiation of the principles of tho legislation of
1 *2O ( the Missouri Compromise,) that Congress
had power, and ought to exercise it, to ,exclude
slavery from territories North of a certain lati
tude, and impliedly admitting it on the other side.

Nrd Bbacr.—We have referred oar readers
ou several occasions to tho re-appoarance
of* Nod Brace,” in tho story of ‘‘WUUaio MU
tcn, '* which la now iu publication iu the Southern
Field and Firenide. Concerning the sequel of
this obaracter Prof. Laßcrde gives an incident iu
tho history of the .South Carolina College, which
isl thus quoted and introduced by the Yorkvrlle
t'u if Hirer •
Dr. La Horde, ia his noble nistory of the College,
(of which, by tho way, wo aball have somewhat
to any hereafter,) gives us a capital anoedoto of
Bre* at home. Tho Doctor is drawing a mas
terly sketch of the vmierablo Dr. Maxcv, nnd runs
off’ iit ) an episode, iu a style which, although the
Nnd Brace portion is absent, of itself cannot but
provoke a hearty hurst of laughter. Boswell was
never more true to Johnson than our mirth loving
friend ia to Nod Brace. He surely tells it well,
thus:
Lot others think as they may, buts am bold
enough to declare the opinion that there never was
an amiable tnnn who could not laugh. Whether
Dr. Muxcy indulged in wit or humor, or story tell
ing, I cannot say ; but ho could laugh heartily.
In illustration I give the following incident : In
the aumuier of 1819 ho visited the village of Edge
field, in which I resided. At that time a certain
Kduuind Bacon lived in the place, lie was a
lawyer by profession, aud nature was liberal to
him iu the gifts of a commanding* person and high
intellectual endowments. Superadod to this was
a humor rarely possessed by man. I may be pardon -
od for saying that he ia the “ Ned Brace” of the
‘‘Georgia .Scenes.” Ho abounded iu stories and
dealt them out with marvellously comic effect. He :
was, indeed, resistless, 110 “would movo wild
laughter in the throat of death.” lie wns the
prince of hospitality, nnd no uaan of note over vis
ited the village without Iwing invited to hia table.
Dr. Maxcy was of course invited. After dinner,
the guests being yot at the table, Mr. Bacon be
gun with bis stories, and his inimitable represen
tation*. Arhe hud before him an extraordinary
man, he put forth his highest powers, aud was
more than himself. The Doctor was not slow to
porcoivo his wonderful genius, and soon nu over
whelming influence was passing over him. Story
utter story was told in succession ,* all Hint is com
ic, all that is grotesque, all that is ridiculous in
human nature, was presented with tho force ofliv
ing reality. The Duotor laughed, and nu the great
actor continued his representations, the pleasant
emotions gradually increased in intensity, until
he lost all control, liut it did not stop here. Ho
laughed until every muscle wan convulsed, and
until be produced acute pain in his aides, and a
sensation of langour and exhaustiou. His health,
as the reader knows, was delicate. Mr. D. was
still going on. The company became alarmed ;
tho Doctor's condition was now serious. It was
apprehended that, that like another Philemon, he
might die eflaughter. Mr. B. ivu? asked to de
sist. The Doctor was carried from the house to
recover from the effect. He was heard afterwards
to speak of Mr. Bacon as the most wouderful man
be had ever met, and far surpassing all tho comic
actors of ancient or modern times.

Death or Jokn Hill.

ed by the announcement of the death of Mr. John
Hill—the Treasurer of the city. Mr. Hill died
suddenly about four o’clock, yesterday afternoon,
at the warehouse of Messrs. alkor A Sons, on
Mclntosh street. We l©arn that he complained
of being unwell, yesterday morning, and had a
very slight hemorrhage of the lungs ; but was in
his office during the day, attending to hi* duties
as usual until a few moments bufnro his death.
Ho Uft it in tho Afternoon, a few miuutcs before
four o’clock, remarking to some ouo with whom
ho had just transacted some business, that he
would return soon ; and went into the warehouse,
which was a few doors off. A* he passed the of
fice jest inside of the entrance to rh* warehouse,
he was seised with a violent attack of coughing,
accompanied with a copious hemorrhage front bis
lungs, which attracted the attention of Dr. J. B.
Walker, who ran to him and caught him as he
I*ll. He died in a few moments after Dr. Walker
liud him.
The verdict of the Jury summoned by the Coro
ner, wu? that the cause of his death was “a copi

Tho Times charges Mr. Douglass with having
‘Ahi, in hia speech in Tomperauca Hall, that “he
was ready to strike hands hoartily aud cordially
with all who opposed the Democracy, by what
ever name they are called.’* We deny, iu the
most iMuphatio torn*, that Mr. Douglass said any
such thing, or anything that could bo ooostruod
to have that moaning; and we appeal to all who
board him to sustain us in this denial. What he
did say was, that ho wuuld unito with auy party
“who would respect our right*"— this very quali
fication necessarily implying that ho would re
ject an alliauuo with all others,—Enuuirer Ana.
23rf inti. * y
I Our worthy ootemporary of the Enquirer, for
| whom we cherish tho kiudost fooling*, and with
whom, we expect to conduct the present cuuvasa
in this District iu a dignified, honorably way—
denies in the most “emphatic” terms, our version
ol Mr. Douglas*’ speech at Temperauoe Hall on
the 18th inat. In faot, tho £s*qw'rer states that
he not only did not rnnko the remark a attributed
to him, but. amid nothing that “could be tanetrued
to hare that meaning I” and moruver, appeal* to
“all” who hoard Mr. Douglass, to austain it in
that “denial!” Why ho positive? Why not
leave some room for an apology ? An uniuton
tionnl error? A nook through which the Tames’
Editor could escape without prejudice to his
j character as a man of integrity and fairness, not
Ito say veracity t Why “appeal” to “all” tho au-
I dtetioe of Mr. Douglans to crush a poor Editor
for hoariog what nobody else heard ?
Why not extend to him tho charity of au ex
planation, while laboring under the weight of
snob & multitude of witneßses against him ‘< No!
Our ootemporary is too certain that Mr. Douglass
said nothing that uould be “construed” iuto our
interpretation of hia remarks. The Enquirer
will doubtless be surprised to hoar that other
porsoiiN thau tbo Editor fell into this mistake—
that some of tho most intelligent and beat citizens
of Columbus, who were present at Temperance
Hall, had no better tarn than the Editor, and ac- j
tually volunteered certificates to the Times that
Mr. Douglass, to the best of their hearing , made ]
tho remarks attributed tu him by the Times with- I
out qiTALiFiCATioN! But why publish certifi- j
cates from gentlemen to prove our aasertion ?
Doubtless the Enquirer would resort to the same
method of proof, and it would be certificate
against certificate? We disclaim any intention 1
to misrepresent Mr. Douglass or any one else.
our ouly desire being to arrive at the truth, and
give Mr. Douglass hia proper position before the
voters of the 2d Congressional District. We re
cognize in him a man with claims to our personal
respect, from his many private virtues. It is with
him to correct tho impression be made upon many
of bis hearers at Temperance Hall, and when that
is done, none will mre cheerfully place him right 1
than the Times. This, we conceive to be gener- 1
ous, honorable and praiseworthy, and a thous- i
and certificates from our friends would not ex- 1
elude Mr. Douglass from the benefit of a hearing •
in bis owu behulf, and au acknowledgement of *
his truo position, albeit he had been so unfortu
nate in the expression of bis views as not to be
understood. Bo much for Mr. Douglasß and the
Times.
The Enquirer aaka the question with a good
deal of complacency and satisfaction, and an evi
dent gratification at its prowess in discussion,
whither we will “strike hand* with Stephen A.
Dougin* in support of the Democratic nomination*
to bo made at Charleston It wants to test the
“sincerity of our indignation” aroused by th© po-1
Mr. Doug'.a.’ l ?, upon the question of protection of

Chronicle A: Sentinel, Southern Recorder , Macon
Journal <t’ Sfrecenger and Sumpter Republican,
all opposition papers, proclaim as U true pntnote
and etateenicn,” in the election of a President.—
Surely, if Bell and Crittenden, are patriots and
aro worthy of affiliation, Mr. Douglas ought to
be I But we answer tho Enquirer'a interrogato
ry. Our affiliation with Mr. Douglas in the elec
tion of tho Charleston nomine© would necessarily
dopond upon two things—lst. Th© basis of the
proposed union; 2d. The uominee himself.
If the platform did not suit us, we should not
stand upon it—if the nomineo was not a true man
we should not support him. The Enquirer may
demand a more categorical reply. It, no doubt,
could give an answor without reference to either
of the*o condition*. We then ask it, if it will sup
port Bell and Crittenden for the Preaideury, whom
the opposition of tb© Ith District deuounce for
Tree-soil affinities’ and whom “wr nnncrutood” Mr.
Marcellus Douglas to say ho did “not eudorso ?”
The Enquirer further state* that elcc tion of
democrat* at the Bouth and not “opposition” men,
give “aid and comfort” to the Republicans.—
And make* the assertion that tb© Republicans
“contemplate with greatest consternation and
alarm tho strength of the opposition movement at
the Houth.” Will the Enquirer please give its
authority for this assertion? Is it from Mr. 1
Seward, who Bay* the Democratic party is the |
slave party aud is the only burro r to the success
of the Republican ? Is it from the New York TV
hunt, edited by the notorious free-tedler. Greeley,
who Bays that such tun as “Bolts aud John Bell”
can unite with the Kepmdtoaus without a mate
rial modification of their views to overthrow the
democracy ? Is it from any of those “free-soil’*
papers, which sympathized with John Letcher
during the last Canvas* iu Virginia, who said up
on every stump and in his letter accepting the
democratic nomination for Governor, that slave
ry wa* “neither a moral, political nor social evil?”
That he would not permit a Federal army to
m troh through Virginia agaiast the tiontb, when
bis competitor, Mr. Goggin, refused to make snob
a declaration ?” Is there any proof outside of the
N. Y. Herald ?

A Convention of tbo friends of the Hon. Joshua

neted that geutlmnun fur re-election to CongrcM.
Heveral counties wero not represented at all, end

iu fact a packed Convention of Mr. ililt’e friends,
and we, therefore, docline to strike tho mitno of
Col. Kenan from the position assigned him by his
friends, and accepted by hiiDaoH', Nome weeks see,
as a candidate for a sea: in Congress, from the 7th
District.
In this matter, we are constrained to say that
tbe “Recorder” has acted very iuconsiateniiy. Il
said, tint long ago, that the Eoglish DtU was a
“surrender vt 3uuthurn Bights and Southern hon
or” and that “Mr. Hill was opposud to iko BUI,
and did *n< pair off with an oppoueutef the Bill.*’
To this last, Mr. Hill himself replies, end avows
h mselfto have been in favor of that abomination,
nnd that h did pairoff with an abiMtionUt. Not
withstanding all wbloh, tbe Kneordor now rap
ports Mr. Hill for re-ulection.
Again, tbe “Recorder” was opposod to nny
nomination for Governor, and so was Mr. Hill at
tho late Convention at Atlanta, and did nil he
could to thwart tbe will of that body. lluico the
honorable gentleman has no claims upon tho
Americans of tho 7th District, fur ro election. Ho
is not a member of the Opp fit ion party, ud not
their candidate, but only the nominee of the Mor
gan, Green and Nwt. n Regency. Wu, ther foro,
trust that he will be repudiated by the p oplo of
the District, on the first Monday of October.—
