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?

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. Your*, O. From the Journal of Commerce. From WaMtlngion.

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.

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. The Finn District.

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.

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.

Joshua Hill, mot in Milludguyillo, on the 17th, aud octal* neted that geutlmnun fur re-election to CongrcM. Heveral counties wero not represented at all, end one (Wilkinson) by a proxy, and iiuoiher (Bald win) by all of friend Oiiuu’e party <>t ?*ix 1 Ii was 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.— Were we a vo er in said District, wo should pre fer to see the Democratic candidate succeed, rath er than Mr. Hill, uuder all tbo ciroumstaticts of Let the true patriotic American* of the District then rally arouud Col. Kenan, who will not retire at the bidding of personal enemies, but who is de termined to run the race through, though do leal be eeffttln.
