Commuoieated.
Dick Timks ‘The Opposition party in this
•eelion are quite exultant at the idea of being
abte to defeat the democratic nominee for Con
gress in this district. With Mr. Maroellus Doug
lass as their standard-hearer, they are moving
“Heaven and earth” to accomplish this result.—
Mr. Douglass is a very clever young gentleman,
with fair talent# and a good share of energy nnd
pereevereooe of character, as well as bitterness
of fooling toward* the democratic party. Indeed
Ms animosity to the democratic parly is little
abort of hatred. This feature in Mr. Douglas*
character, donht greatly commended him t*
hie party friends, and contributed to some extent,
at lean, to hi* euoeees in the nominating Conven
tiep. To make a damenstration in favor If Mr
Douglass, (I presume) flamiag hand hill* were
igued a few day a ago, headed, “Free Barbecue’
to betyven at Cutbbert, on Monday, tb>- 29th
iltet, to those opposed to “the present corrupt
administration (not a* it is cualomury “to nil
person* without distinction of party,” > und to give
eclat to their proceeding*, it was ostentatiously
announced, that the Hon. “W. Akin,” nnd other
dialingiiof the Opposition party, would honor
the meeting with their presence, and discourse
Word* of consolation to their drooping spirit*,
and discuss the political topics us the day :
Which, ae oeara* I can understand their prlmi
pies, means opposition, as their natncsigniii<uint
ly Import l , to th* Demo< rath- party, that party
which has wver stood true to the South uud her
peculiar instilutionlfy the way, Mr. Kditor,
who Is this Hon. IV. Akin, whose name is foisted
by the Opposition, as thoir cimdiduto for Gubar
notorial honors ? I uAer heard of him, mid I
mature to assert, that not ono man in hundred
throughout the State, ever did, until his name
was snnouncod as the opposition oandidate for
Governor by the Atlanta Convention. Wu# be
the only gentleman whose name the Opposition
party could uae to run agaiust honest Joe Bfown. ‘
the people’s candidate, for Governor?
I could not consistently with my fWlings, at
tend the Free Barbecue at t'uthbert on Monday,
2Vth Inst., but I doubt not the Opposition effected
to have a glorious jollification. The invitation
issued by the leaders of that party, was too aollieb
and limited in it* terms, to embrace any hut
those who were oppose! to “the present corrupt
administration,” consequently, many of the “Utt
terrifled Democracy” were kept from participat
ing in their festivities, and left them alone in
their glory toonjoy among themselves their own
pow-wow, as beat they could.
The Opposition, I am informed, proudly nnd
defiantly boast of their ability to carry Olay
county by a clear majority of fifty in favor of Mr.
Douglass, but the vote on the Ist Monday in
Oct. next, will cause them to change their tuno.
I think Ur table* will be I%v creed, and the Hon.
M. J. Crawford will carry (.'lay, I predict, by a
handsome majority. Mark the prediction, Mr
Kditor, and confidently look for Clay county to
redeem herself, and once more be enrolled as n
Democratic county—the friends of Judge Craw
ford do not entertain a doubt of his succens in
day ; indeed, if every county in the Oongresston
al district was as sanguine of success as Clay
county, the election of Judge Crawford would uot
he considered ae problematical. It would he it
settled, Axed fact. The Democracy of Clay have
—var been more harmonious in fooling nud
sentiment, than they are at lha present. They
are united in a solid phalanx, and will poll their
frill strength on the election day in October, and
1 assure you the result will be terribly appaliug
to the Opposition. Many of the “wool hat boys”
who sometimes, from prejudice against or prede
lection for men. have*vi*tod a split ticket, have
anew the folly of thoir conduct and have sworn
upon the “altar of thoir country,” never again to
he guilty of such acts of wickedness.
The Oppoalsion party in this section have be
coma furiously Southern Rights in their feeling*,
if they had given utterance to those sentiment*,
and indoctrinated them into tho people in 1844'.
when the glorious Union was so much in duugvi
of being dissolved hjr the act aof the “Fire Haters, j
no doubt the institution* of the South would be
lees endangered than they are at present; but in
18S0, they feared the Southern flight* party Wore
attempting to destroy Ihe Constitution of this
glerious Union. and to mar tho beautiful fabric
us government which had been roared upon it
plllras by the wisdom of Us time-honored fra

Drown of what credit is due him by saying that
lion. D H. Hill was entitled to the honor. The

shouted for Drown. They then said that Dr.

then raised flu. l cry, that the road was not equip
ped, nnd Gov. Drown was using the wood pur
chased bv another administration. This idea
was exploded by the*testimony of ono f their
own witnesses, the Kditor of the Atlanta Atneri
otm, who traveled lately over the road, and re
portnd It in /iH# ord> r ! This was a tribute the
Kditor paid to justice. Driveu from this position
they now cudeavor to show that the road is not a
peyingroad. The facts and figures prove this to be
erroueous. Aud now, us a last alternative, they
*ay it, “1 don’t care, it don’t pay as much u* the

nopoly unsurpassed by other roads—that the
President can have his own rhary for freights,
and the customers of tho Hoad cannot help
themselves. Not so on the State Road. The
people iu that auction complain now because Gov.
Drown does not reduce the freight on wheat nnd
othor produce. Kvery charge is watched, lest he
should over-lax something or somebody.
Thus it is. We claim for Gov. Drown simple

The following is the platform of the Democracy
of Mississippi, unanimously adopted In Conven
tion, July 6, IH,>9 :
Hrtolvttti, That we roaimounee, us tho iuutis of
party actiou, the plutform of principles laid down
by the Democratic party in the National Conven
tion of lSsrt, and hold that the doctrine of “non
interference with the institution of slavery in tho
ritatee, Territories or District or Columbia,” does
uot or was not intended to confiict with the asser
tion of the power of Congress to protect the pro -
perty of the citizen* <f the several State*, who
may choose to settle in the Territories which are

in the slave i* distinctly expressed and expressly
affirmed by the Con*titution"—anil “the power
over in conferred upon Congress is tb power
coupled with the duty of guarding and protec

enforcement, by all the departments of the Feder

thus expounded by the Supreme Court of the
United State*.

her sister Stale* of the South in whatever mea*
ures they may deem necessary for the mainten
ance 1 of tlmir rights a* coeval member* of the

ltmolve.d, That we feel it incumbent on the
Democracy of Missinrimd again to declare that
tho acquisition of Cuba by the United States is a
commercial and political necessity, nnd that wc
will hail with pleasure every proper measure that
looks to its accomplishment: and further, we cau
never conseut to its appropriation by any foreign

Mr. DongluH on Popular Sovereignly
Harper’* Magazine for September contains an
article, nitttecu page* long, entitled “Tho divi
ding line between Federal and Local authority.
Popular Sovereignty in the Territories. Hy Ht<-
ph*-n A. Doitgbi .” This i* understood to !e the
muiutcatn which lia* boon announced a* in course
of preparation by Mr. Douglas, and it* appear
ant e in the form fa copy-righted magazine ar
ticle occasions no little •surprise. The article is
written with tho author** customary ability and
shrewdness, and presents his views upon the sub
ject of slavery iu the territories w ith much force.
Tho ground taken by him is so familiar that wo
need only copy the following paragraph*
It is difficult to conceive how any per*ou who
believe* ihai the Constitution confers the right of
protection in the enjoyment of slave property iu
the Territories, regardless of the wishes of the
leoplc and of the union of tbc Territorial Legis
lat ores, can satiety hi* conscience and bis oath of
fidelity to tho Constitution tit withholding such
< 'oiigrettsional legislation a* may be essential to
the enjoyment of such right under the Constitu
tion. Under this view of the subject it * im
poseiblc to resist the conclusion that, it the Con
stitution does establish slavery in the Territories,
beyond the power of the people to control it by
law, it i.* the imperative duty of (''ingress to sup
ply all the legislation necessary to its protection,
and if this proposition is not true, it necessarily
results that the Constitution neither establishes
nor prohibit* slaverv anywhere but iwares the
people of each State and Territory entirely free
to form and regulate their domestic affair- to suit
themselves, without the intervention of Congress
or uny power whatsoever.
Reviewing the opinion of the Supreme Court
in the com of Dred Scott, he denies that there is
any thing there to justify the declaration that the
Constitution curries slavery into all the territories,
aud says
If the proposition be true, that the Constitu
tion establishes slavery in the territories beyond
tho power of tho (atopic legally to control it,
another result, not less startling, and from which
there is no escape, must inevitably follow. The
Constitution is uniform “everywhere within tho
dominions of the I nited Hitc*' , -~ r .i* the same in
Pennsylvania a> in Kansas -and if it be true, as
stated by the Presidgnt in a special message to
Congress, “thai slavery exists in Kansas by vir
tue of the Constitution of tho I nited States.”
and that “Kansas is therefore at this moment a*
much slave State a# Georgia or South Carolina,”
why does it not exist in Pennsylvania by virtue
of tho same Constitution ?
Hon. Alfred Iverson and til* \salinnl*
We clip tho following front that sterling demo
cratic paper, the Albany I'atriot. Alluding to
Hon. Alfred Iverson, it says :
Hi# enemies hav e become somewhat plainer and

such a spirit must produce the conviction that

Democratic party is false to its boasted fidelity
to the Smith, and let another party win and wear
tho laurels that ought to be ours. It is due to
Senator Iverson, to his competitors, and to the
people, that the grounds of this contest shall h
fully known.” Whoever opposes hint, before the
contest is decided should say in plain terms, in
what, and how, and wherefore they differ with

Tho cotton weed is large, und the prospect was
promising for a large crop up to the week of

causing extensive shedding of squares tool young

weather is favorable to its ravages, and I am ap
prehending much damage from this cau*e. Ex
amining cotton critically, in many fields, ] am
satisfied that the crop will fall much short of that
made on them last year. Tbe stalks are, I think,
on au average, much larger than they were at

The losses sustained by the French, Sardinian
ami Austrian armies in their recent battle* do not
compare with that sustained by the American ar
my Iu Mexico. In other words, to the number
engaged, the American# fought with more during
and bravery than the troops aero## the waters.
The following statement will show the number*
engaged and losses sustained by the Austrians
and the French and Knglish.

Sulterino Allies 115,099 16,089

Total . 549,000 63,109
This gives little ever ten per cent loss in killed
und wounded- that is to nay. taking the French
statement a* accurate, which, it will be observed
makes the Austrian lot# about forty per cent,
greater than that of the French, llut accepting
it a* accurate, wu find this lose but about two
third* that sustained by the Americans in the
buttle# of Mexico. Thu loss of the Mexican*, it
is well known, wa* much greater. In these bat
tles the American losses were a* follow*:

“ Chapultopec 6,809 863 12%
Total 28,367 3,861 15
That is to say, the American losses were fifteen
pur cent, or one-third more than those of the Ku

estimated the Mexican loss on the field at 2,099
men. or about twelve per cent, on the whole num

Communicated.
(•I. Akin la (uihbrrt.
The above named gentleman urged his claims
to gubernatorial honors before a large and alien
tivc audience of the good people of Randolph
aod adjoining counties, on last Monday, the 2.*th
inst. He ojiened with the •/ <aptnn /mm an
nouncement, that he was no partisan or party
candidate. Col. Akin has the reputation of a
candid, clever Christian gentleman. How he re
conciles the above declaration with such personal
attributes, and the hitter two hours tirade that
followed, l am at a loss to couceive, unless with
many he deems the faction that dragged him from
his much loved retirement, as unworthy the dig
nified appellation of a ••|arty.- Hr no party
candidate, indeed? AN hat constitutes a party
candidate? If he is no party candidate, be is
the candidate of a miserable, reckless, unscrupu
lous faction thnt/w6/y intUrd a/trt* the forma
and dignity of a party. The Col. next after dis
•leaning all partisan feeling and alliance, soothed
and blarneyed the e.) the masses,
tin* rank and file. The leaders were of course no
lastter than they ought to lie. He condescended
to assure them that Ac thought them honest, but
misled. Its an equivocal compliment that award*
to one honesty at the expense of sense. So
will the M duped mass” of democrat* think
whom the Col. seemed so very solicitous to con
ciliate. The President and Cincinnati Platform,
uext claimed the nniiuadversion of the ardent
gentleman ; upon which he served but a stale
rehash of Know Nothing nowpa|er trash for the
last two years, if we may except that graphic
picture of Van Burra on one end and Douglas on
the other, with the “immaculate Joseph** in the
centre which the expectant Governor draws with
great gusto. This is evidently an original and
favorite conception of tho Col's braiu, and in its
delineation he expends all his artistic skill; for
gettiug that he is a “ plain blunt man,” he as
sumes the air dramatic and lets himself loose gen
erally, indulging even in sallies of wit. lam too
good natured to disturb the estimable gentleman's
self-complacency, by the intimation that this
” master-piece"of his speech was. decidedly tame.
tiovernor Brown was next arraigned. By the
way, it seems that all the Opposition candidates
are self-constituted “ prosecuting officers.” Aiken
aud Douglas, nothing daunted by the ill success
of their prototype, Netherland of Tennessee, are
re-enacting the farce in Georgia with a mock seri
ousness, that really befools some simple people
iuto the belief that they may convict somebody.
The counts in the indictment against Gov. Brown,
are at follows;
Ist. HD elecii. mi will be hailed in Boston and
other Northern abolition cities us a triumph. In
his tuucy he hears the booming of Boston cannon
over hi# success. Who will venture after this to
say, that the Col. is devoid of fancy ?
2d The Western and Atlantic Railroad bos not
yielded a* much gros* or net profits under Gov
ernor Brown's, a# under Gov. Johnson’* adminis
tration. If not, then may be the road was made
to do ns much under both adminDirations ns it
could, and nobody is to blame. I don't remem
ber that the Col. promised to do any U-tter than
Gov. Drown. The rational inference therefore
from the Col’s statements and arguments is, that
ilie Know-Nothing* In ‘56 and ‘57, slandered Gov.
Johnson like forty.
3d. He, Col. Akin could suggest a better edu
cational plan than Brown, th if much hurt be
cause hi# Catholic tel low-cttir.cn* are not included
in Gov. Brown's (dan. Bigotry preaching tolera
tion! Comment here is *uj>erflnouf. and 1 will
not so far violate good taste as to impute to a
gubernatorial candidate the low acts of the dem
agogue.
4th. And lastly, Governor Brown is devoid of
common humanity, because be vetoed a bill to
make a certain woman in Augustan “ free dealer”
“to contract and he oontrected with.” Here the
Col's sensibilities were so shocked and his sympa
tbia* so roused he was almost speechless. Ho
final!> got footloose however, where he drew such
au affecting picture of a poor woman, helpless
children, worthies# husband, and heartless Gov
ernor, at I am credibly informed, wrung leers
from some old women and weak men. C’ l. Akin
did not inform his audience who the unfortunate
lady was. whether h knew her r how he obtain
ed his information of condition. M.,
it not he another fancy sketch of the gentleman’s ?
This I do know, that applications to the Legisla
ture to make “ men” of “minors,” and women
“tree dealer*-,” became so numerous and trouble
■ t<* rret attention, and Gov. Brown
with many other reflecting men, may have come
to the conclusion that it was time to put a stop to
such a mas* of local and partial legislation, the
particular merit* of which, neither be uor the
Leghdature could know. If there are specified
conditions under which a married woman should
contract and acquire property, let the Legislature
say so by general enactment, without running the
State to expense aud incumbering our statute
book* with fifty or a hundred special coses of
relief every session. Good taste and a sense of
ju*tioe should have restrained CoL A. from *
wanton an attack upon bis amiable competitor.
1 must not forget to mention that the CoL, like
Dott* and other Know-Nothing leaders, sham
pions the cause of our foreign fellow-citizens.
Upon this point be became wrought up to a
phrun/y of heroism, ife, if President, would
sink ©very ship, spend every dollar, exhaust every
drop of American blood, and wrapping himself
up in the “ star* and stripes,” be cast into a
ditch, or reacue any unfortunate naturalixed
American citizen from the clutches of despotism.
The Kuow-Nothings of course went into extacies
over this burst of rhetoric. “For why?” Is the
natural enquiry. That they uiar get him back to
humiliate and degrade him, by denying to him
the dearest right* of citizen ll ? But I must eb.se
this ruuningcommentary <>n friend Akin a sieech.
by the suggestion to hi* followers, that it i* use
less waste of time uud money and labor, to con
tinue thi* prosecution against innocent nnd hon

ladies will be on the watebout to make the lest
selections. The uerchsknt# of Columbus ere
noted for their good taste in buying their stocks.
The readers of the’city pajieri will be advired
from time to timeof those houses, which are be*t
supplied, end which pay the printer, while show
ing to the world their superior assortment.
PoLit KURN.—The Police Committe© of the City
Council have put ou duty within the last few days
twelve watchmen. There are now on duty from
night to night, twenty polioemen. Surely, the
town ought to be protected with such a fores.- -
It is usually quid and peaceable, but lately there
has been a good deal of noise. Petit larceny, too,
has been the onler off the night. The policemen,
we understand, have caught the persuu who en
tered the boarding house, alluded to in yester
day’s Timm, and he turns out to be a negro owned
by one of our citisens. lie i# lodged safely in
jail ; the *usptiou* circumstance attending his
arrest lieing sufficient to find him guilty of the
burglary.
BtoL BE. —-The house of Mr. William Burton
in the lower part of the city, was entered a few
evenings since by some unknown person, and his
clothing and seventy or eighty boxes of percus
sion cap# taken off. The thief entered early in
night.
Also, at Mr*. White's, a boarding house, near
the Odd Fellow's Hall, a rogue made hi* way the
*ameevening, before 9 o’clock, and succeeded iu
carrying off a trunk, owned by one of the inmates,
containing twenty dollars in money and cloth
ing.
Hurely, the burglars are abroad! It ie only a
few weeks since, that Col. John Ranks, of Wynn
ton, had a watch, an old family piece, valued
highly from ita associations, stolen from his
room.
t’ol. Hines Holt, also, previous to that time
had stolen from him a valuable lever watch—ta
ken from hi# residence in Wynnton.
Pownnu Goxx.—We learn that the city Maga
■ine, oa the East commons, below the county jail
wa# entered a few nights since, and the pow
der stored there taken away. There were seventy
eight quarter kegs, containing about six and a
half |M>unds of ( powderjeach stolen bvjke[burglars.
No development# have yet been made. It is
presumed that the Policemen are on the look
out.
Ri sinks*—Tha or.— Business i* looking up a
little in tSdumbus. The merchants are absent
baying their fall stocks, hence the trade has not
••ommoiieed yet. With cotton telling at 10 to 12
cent*, it is expected that every department of
business will be prosperous. The war is ended
and money matters are easy in Knrepe. The signs
of the times betoken prosperity and plenty. Latts
Deo f
,ff?rThe weather yesterday wa* cool and bra
clng. A few more -uch days will remind one of
the approach of Fall. The test is laid hy the
recent rain, and the days are pleasant. The little
gray, white rausquitoes are still troublesome and
ariaoviug during the day. They hue you on the
neck, and face and hands, and even through
pretty thick hose. Darby’s Prophylactic is a
splendid remedy to allay the humor.
The ciliseu* of Columbus, in the north end of
Jackson street, complain bitterly of the shooting
of guns and noise in that part of the city at
night. . Their peace and quiet are disturbed and
they ask that we call the attention of the Police
to the matter. Let it be looked to at once.
Tur. Auii.u XMATioK.—The Railroad track,
between the Muscogee and Opelika Depot, is
about complete, and it is contemplated to unite
the two, so that there will be a common depot for
the two roads, early next week. The freight cars
now run over the new track, hut arrangements
have not yet been made for the passenger train.
Fiuk.—There wa* an alarm of Ire about *un
set, Wedr.esday evening, tbe .list ult., and the
Fire ( ompanies promptly brought out their en
gines. It was ascertained to be in the oellar of
tbe Furniture store of Messrs. Jefferson A Hamil
ton, on Broad street. Tbe hoe of one of the
roui|*anie* was soon passed through tbe house and
into the cellar. The smoke iesuing therefrom
being ao dense, as to require the lighting of a
candle, to proceed to work. The fire was soon
extinguished by the vigilant firemen. A few hun
dred dollar** will cover the whole loss.
