Itimk, has more than otic C.tsAK, is a proverb ot the oppoueuls of Judge Iverson to his re election to the Senate. Ami that Burn s or Cas sils may be advanced CV&ah must be slain.- Tbc hesnty of 1 1* operation of such a. principle may have been eulogiaed evon by virtuous mou in those days, when distinction was less the ro wurd of merit than success iu cuuuing chicanery and military diplomacy, but in these republican times ii is deplored as the oflf-aprtug of individu al preforenee, wrong in theory, wrong in prui - ti< e, aud destructive of that harmony aud unity of sentiment which should characterize a gteaf and living party. As tar as our observation ex tends, no press favoring the claims of the Hon. Allred Iverson to a re-election to the seat be now adorns, hu* uttered a word of disparagement to wards those gentlemen, who may aspire to be his successor. They have observed a rigid decorum tow.-rd; his opponents worthy the dignity of a tree press and tho cause of a righteous democra cy. Uov. Johnson, Judge McDonald uudotli i-rs are alluded to in becoming terms, as men en titled to the proud distinction they enjoy us lead ers tu the democratic fold. No editorial or com munication inis been seen, where their opinions upon questions of public policy have undergone a rigid scrutiny ; no attempts have been made to prejudice the democracy against tbera. Were the ‘/'imes to arraign Uov. Johnson’* adminis iration, criticise his official acts with the peu of jealously, parade bis *entintents upon the slave trade, protection to slave property, Ac., with an eye solely to weaken his aircugib with the party, where is the pres* that would not rail at us for tho impolicy oi ourcourne und mode of wuiTarc:’ let such is the task many of our democratic co teiup'-ries haven, toward Judge Iverson.

Judge Iverson * position is known to his party. We urge tin ono to disparage tho i luiun of bis competitor*. His elevation to the Senate rests upon the regard and sympathy which States men hove for hi* sentiments. I|> arro gates to hnusclf no superiority iu .Htatosmsuship or political renown over those who mar oppose him. 11 the Democracy regard him as a faithful public servant, it hr with them to cast their suff rages for him in tic; Corning contest, lie will *hid the result us become- a true and loyal uiem her of the democrat!** party.

So 1 iNSiuot be get u-vd ! oi speaking to you from self-interested motives.— ” tiro on the ev* of another Presidential dc ---’ tion, and one which I firmly bolicvu is to fix tho \ destiny of the South. It well become* our sol emu duty then to look around us and prepare for it. So far aa our Stale ilnetioua are concerned, wo all of course will be gratified to see our party and its principle* carried out, by the success of our nominees, especially as the next Legislature will have to elect u I . S. Senator .....i .. i- * *• ; i tiling n-nvever 1 do no. anticipate,) \v would still bo represented by our own people of Georgia, idontiiied with in, in a common interest and den tiny . The coming Presidential election is anoili er affair altogether. It will prove to tho South n field ,of Ai.sterlit/, or a field of Waterloo. What then is tbo prospect before ua? What are the chances of our success In tho comiug struggle ? The tight has narrowed down to a sectional bat tle—the free State* against the slave States, the North Against the South. The Democrats in tbe free States are overthrown, beaton down, uud are powerless. The Black Kepiildicuns or Abolition ists have, at last, conquered every free State ex cept California and Oregon. They have gained iu every election ami are growing tearfully strong er every day. It i* vain to close our eyes on the foots before u*. There is not a man, North or South, who does not see and know that the ele ment of this success is hatred of the South and | her “institution.” Iu the next Electoral College ! there will be 306 votes. The free States, all except 1 California and Oregon, have given decisive popu- 1 lar majorities in their elections in favor of the ‘ Black Republican parly. So that in this contest ‘ it is evident they will go into the College with 179 votes, leaving out California and Oregon. Itjwill require 154 voles to oleot. lloro wo see how it will be in the Electoral College, if but twocau- I didales are run. Now tbo question is, what cun ’ the South do to prevent it ? Cuii wo find * North - ! eru man who eau carry every one of the slnvo j States, and enough of tbe free to secure his elec tion in the College ‘! Cau Senator Douglasdo it ? No man in his senses will sav so. No man ii his proper mind will protend to say that Senator Dougins can got all of tjie slave States, even with a nomination by the Charleston Convention. It is very doubtful if any one of tho slave States, under existing circumstances, could be induced to vote- for any inau North of Mason and Dixon's line. But Senator Dougins, shaking hi* Squatter Sovereignty iu our faces, and his insulting man date, “Nnslavoeode for him,” can inner get u true Southern vote. But oven if ho euuhl carry every slave State, that would not elect him. The slave States can only give 129 votes, all told. It require* 154 to elect. Soiue of scuulor Dougins’ friends in the South, (tho Editor of the Augusta Coustitutiouulist for one,) think* that if he could got the whole South he could probably carry hia ..wu State, Illinois, with Indiana, Minnesota, Cal j ifornia and Oregon, which will give 155 votes, JL.:— Here are two contingencies: Ist, be must get eve ! ry slave State, (a thing utterly impossible us things , now stand,) uud 2d, be must get tho above named j tree States, or enough from tbe other ft to amount !to 34 votel, In order to be elected. Who helievoa that he can Ho either ? Everybody know*, und | Senator Douglas and his friend* in tbo South I ought to aw it, that it tho whole of the slave States were logo for him, it would have the effect to drive every free State to bis opponent. Look at i the la-1 popular elections in all of the tree Males, including Illinois, and you will soon be naiinfied i what chance he would stand to get any of them. No, gentlemen, Senator Roughu, stands no earth ly chance in a national race against thenoiuinie i of the Black Republican party, evan with snout ’ iiiation by tbe Charleston Convention. It ia of no use for Col. Toombs and Mr. Forsyth, or any body else to preach up Senator Dougins to South era slave holders. They are only throwing away their time. Any one of youuun see this a* plain as I do, and I un certain you all feel it* truth. How shall the Slave States prevent Senator D'liigla* from gutting a nomination at Charles ton ? Tills is a great question; for lit.” noiuina lion by that Convention, amount'* to both the do ft*t and ruin of the South. It i* a pin in case j that hi* Squatter Sovereignty doctrine, which is i just aa good for free toilers a* 59 3U or the Wil - I mot Pro vino itself, will give him the entire Dctno uratic Delegations from tbe free States; hut they ! cannot Dominate him under the two-thirds rule, | if the delegate* from the Slave States oppose it. Tiint they will tin so is > it tain, for iliefi will hr so instructed express!g by those, who uiill stud them. ’ The South hold* a trutup card iu her hand and I she will boldly play it. Let her delegate* de mand protection lor our property in the Territo r;es, a* au additional plank in the Flulform of I principle*, before going into a nomination, find I let them plant themselves upon it. Protection of j our property which is but our reasonable, just i and proper right, but which Senator Douglas iu 1 sultiugly e.allsa“*lavo code.” Let the South plant j hersell upon it, and it Senator Douglas and his ! friends choose to deny it to us, let her Delegates I walk out of the concern. Let. them issue un <id j dress to the Slave States, (not to a party,) let them invoke the whole people of the South to mute iu a Convention by chosen delegate* and : nominate thoir own candidates for President and j Vice President. This will unite the South ou | the only issue now of any consequence to her, and prepare her people ugiiiust the day of trouble. I flhi.uld Senator Douglas think proper to run is | au independent candidate, he might do so, it h ■ i could get those free Ktuios which some of hi* I Southern friends think he can, it would carry the t flliu timi. iuUi the llnusc of Reurcaeutati. er. J where the South would either triumph or sootl know her fate ; In the llouac, the election l is by Htate*, it require* 18 State* to elect. The i South lias 15. >bo would stand a very good .'banco to gc California and Oregon, making 17, i and if Illinois thought proper she could place her favorite aou on good ground lor the next race, by j casting her vote into the Southern h*hl. This is our only hop** of electing a Mound man, | President or Vice President. Suppose the 1 charleston Convention should re-adupt the Citi 1 cinnatti Platform, ami nominate Senator Doug ■ 1 is, or any other Northern man agreeing with hint upon hi* Squatter Sovereignty doctrine, bu would certainly loose many of the Slave States, whilst tLe evident weaknc** of the Deriio rutit; Party at tho North would present no reliable hope of hifl success there. If a Southern mail of sound, reliable .Southern Bight* sentiment*, should he nominated upon the Cmcinnutti Plat form, with a full knowledge of the construction put upon it by the Northern Democracy, it would ho weaken uh at tho South, that be would stand no chaune for an election. It is not at all proba ble that any Southern man could carry a free Kiato upon any Platform. Our true policy and only hope therefore, I* f unitAill portitt at the South, piunt ourstlvea on a Southern /iif/htx f'/ut form, und rn'ly on Southern Gundidutet in whom the. Southern people have cmijidemr. Os one thing we may lie sure, that 11 the election goo* to it ic llotiae of Representatives ihe Black fiapttk • iican candidate cannot he elected, unless .Senator Douglas rives him the vote of the Illinois deb ration. If he should give the casting voio in favor of our candidate, w- should then be will in <c to acknowledge our oh!lj atlon to him, and look upon him as h deliverer and friend. It w ulu place him iu a high ponifion, and give him strong claim* to the gratitude and support of tho South at the next election. Senator Dough.* would most probably p ir*ue that course, and if so, tho •leetion of a truo Southern man would heaccnrcd, the nghta of tbe South vindicated and the Union saved from destruction.

I may hav e town unfortunate iu the time oi uiy visit, hut, rertaiuly the collected ugliuessof too South could riot rio with tlmt crowd in homtili nca* of feature. Several beautiful flowers were indeed, there, hut, invariably, they had been transplanted for u timo Jruui mu wane und gunul soil of a,wont hern clime. It iu y disgust tor North ern politic* were m to overpower the sentiment of justice, gallantry, 1 trust, would prevent me from depreciating Northern women, i uiu certainly ooiißoloua of no unworthy feeling, when 1 my thut I have yet to meet the first beautiful Northern lady, iu this opinion I am sustained by some i who ougut to know, who any that beauty rcudo* • not here in the circle* of t&nhioutihie society, but { mak-* her haunt in theiuidddh* walks of life. Saratoga is remarkable lor the health restor ing properties of ita numerous Spring*. That they abound iu medicinal qualities, none, wiio ever i tasted, can doubt, whether salutary or hurtful, I ! cannot nay. Une draught will satisfy any reus- | unable curiosity, and beyond tliat 1 did not veil | lure. That the victim* of a chronic invalidism ‘ should andure n repetition of the dose mny not be ; very remarkable : but how a well person can quaff the nauseating fluid Is, to me, a mystery. Asa beverage, it is about equal to Glauber Salts. The ~nly place in the vicinity thut will repay the trou ble of a visit is Saratoga Lake. This is a beauti ful sheet of water about seven miles long and one to three miles broad, distant four mile* .rom tbe Springs. A pleasant ride of halt an hour will couvey you to the hotel on the margin of the lake, where null and row boats lie at uuchor and tempi you to spend un hour (and a few dollars) on it* glassy surface. From Saratoga I came to this place over the New York Central Railroad. Thi rond runs up wards us 309 miles through the centre of the great State of New York, and I took the day train iu order if possible to form some idea of its agricul tural resources. The tune for observation was most unfavorable, for the ntnuil grain hud just been harvested, the inuudows mown, and nothing j growing upon the laud but patches oi what we at the Mouth would call badly crowded and very sorry corn. Tbe latter is planted iu hills and checked 3 or 4 tout apart, and from 3 to 6 stalks I- m I.HI. l B*- ea<*h stalk Louring u very diiuinilivc ear or nub bin-—such as our planters would separate from the good corn for fceduig hogs. At the .South it would yield übout ten bushel* to the acre-—here, 1 uiu told, they gather from 29 to 39 bushels.- The crop, however, is represented as late aud un usually poor, as I presume it usually is. Niagara is replete with attractions to thcetran ger—the Falls, tho tiuMpunsioti Bridge and Dion din’s Ko|H) Walk, are ull novelties to the Mouth erner. Tim former I had witnessed before, but it i* Nti object which does not decline in interest by repeated observation. I buvo hoard several person* say they were disappointed in the Fulls. The statement present* to my mind a most curi ous pschycologicai phenomenon. A creation of the fancy which can surpass in any of the attri butes of sublimity thUliving, leaping wonder, I* something which I have no power to compre hend. J low it was caused—-by what throe* and upheaving# of the earth, speculation has spent itlsclfin fruitless efforts to determine. But whe ther it is tho result of natural law, or an original exertion of divine powor, tbe calm beholder will discover in its awtul grandeur a fitting type <<i Hi* majesty and a symbol of lib omnipotence. Tho Mutpjnsbm Bridge about a mile below the Fulls, isu stupendous work, uud receive* its full share of attention aud admiratiou. It has a spun oflloo It. and i* elevated 186 ft. above the surg ing waters. Four cables of iron wire, each nine inches io diameter, support tbn structure. The ends of tbeoables are fastened to masses of rock Imbedded 90 feet iu the solid earth. From these depend numerous m tiler oebles, aUoof wire, which Arc securuly faitouad to tho nil’s or fouad* ition of tho bridge. The bottom i* floored fur n arriage way und tho t..p suMaina a ruihvny i'aok. Tt’you could observe the passage of a locomotive ami train of cars, you could form iiiic idea of tbu strength aud stability of th. rucluro. I wu. standing ou tho carriage way •■bout the centre of the bridge when a large fruigh rain crossed above, and but for the rumblin ‘ n'dso, I would not have been aware of its pros moo. Not the slightest shuck, and scarculy a jar whs felt. In striking contrast with the security of this means us transit, about a quarter of a mile above h suspended Blondin’s frail and narrow truck.— \ rope 2V Inchon in diauioter, is flrotchedaciost* the river, protected against lateral motion by quays at proper Intervals. Tho distance and the weight of the rope are so great, that the depres sion at tho centre is 45 feet. On this rope 1 saw th* daring, fool-hardy follow ores* tho river, turning somersets, aud making other equally hazardous exhibitions of bis skill. Returning, > brought ujmn hi* buck a small L.• - - - of the stream hu stopped, secured it to thelropc and cooked an omelet. Resuming his burden he reached the shore in safety, lie hu* crossed the sixth time, und will, doubtless, grew rich in re peating the foal, if the tale oftfain l’ateh does not soon befall him.

This distinguished gentleman lately addressed the Democratic State Convention of Mississippi, upon the subject of slavery, uud the Federal Union. It was an able uud manly speech, full ot Southern Rights sentiment and true Southern feeling. We regret that it* length prevent* u* from inserting il in our rolumus. The following are its eloquent concluding words: ‘ Our country men have two path* before them, either of which the majority of the State* uml of the people are free to choose. The one kudu by the way of usurpation and tortuous construc tion, through discord and civil strife, to the des truction of this best hope of rcpublicißi govern | meat. The other, through peace and jffoHpority, I by the perpetuity of the institutions we inherited. mounts to au eminence which look* down on a j continent of equal, sovereign, confederated States. We are near, 1 believe, to the point at which that selection ia to be made. Our fathers toured the convulsion which tho election of a President would produce. The next generation regarded the apprehension aa uufouuded 5 to us its realiza tion may bo appointed, because to us it has been reserved to witness tho organization of u party seeking the posaeraiou of tbe government not for the common good, not for their own particular benefit, bul 11* the means of executing u hostile purposo toward* a portion of tbe States.
