The short letter you published from me, Home time since, addressed to the City Council of Columbus, excited a good deal of bod feeling toward* me among the citizen* of Troy. When it first made it/- appearance in town, seme were so highly enraged, a* to make threats of violence, with frightful allusion* to “Troy” rail*, tar. feathers and drums. In a meeting of our citi ren*, shortly afterward* held, a set of resolution* were adopted concerning “Troy” and his letter, in which anything else L manifested, but a spirit of kindness and forbearance towards ths/roi'DiV* of one, who i* so defeathrely constituted a* not to be able to see aud think an they do—in which they discover nothing of that manliness and gen erosity which, it wa* liopad, would be indulged towards an opponent, in the discussion of a mat ter of so much importance. It wa* st ated in these resolutions that I have no interest in Troy or the railroad. If it was meant by this, that l own notownprmmrty and have no stock in the road, it is tme. This was intended, no donbt, as an argument the most convincing and conclusive of my perfect inability to entertain un opinion about the mutter in discussion : ot if one should irresistibly force itself upon me, I should forever hold my |eaoe, until by the purchase of a lot and subscribing t<. the road, ths necessary prerequi site* and guarantee* to th* bolding una uttering *uch an opinion should thus be -secured.

The only difficulty in crossing tbe river at any season that can be urged with any plausibility, is that presented by the high water during the win ter and spring : This difficulty will tie obviated bv a splcnded bridge, which will soon be com pleted, and which extend* not only across the 1 rirer, bat clear across th* entire swamp, excepting < a short ‘pace on the North siia of tbe river, that never did, nor never will present the slightest ob stacle to travel. This bridge is to be above high water mark, and to be kept up by the county. Do these facts not conclusively bow that no ob stacle exist* to prevent Columbus securing the trade, which is held out a* an inducement or rea son why she should favor the change, though the rood‘does run down the North side of tbo river.’ It i/a humbug a pretext upon which (I charge again despite their threats; ye#.

It should be her effort, it strike’ rue, to get that trade North of the river, which haahiiherb* been going to Montgomery. It will require nom* ef fort to turn this trade, Ihk'uiico: the fact, that our farmers hare t h*ng been trading there and have made acquaintance* and formed attachment* that wil not be easily broken. Would it bogood policy, on the part of Columbus, to aid in chang ing ihe road, and thus make the people North of the river its and her bitter enemies ? This course can but strengthen their prejudices in favor of Montgomery. Let Cola tabus judge well before she ecu.

And it occurs tv me that, with thi* preamble and resolution* confided to hie keeping, a delegate could not well discharge hi# duty unless lie mad© some effort to discover winder the National Union Convention “agreed with u- on those cardinal principles,” for until they did so agree we could not “unite” with them. These were instruction* ©nr,ugh a* to principles, and no glorification over “Patrick Henry s grandson/’ no hissed at tho mention of the slavery question, and no Neil Brown with declarations that he would not swap the I'uion for slavery, should have prevented u delegate from Georgia from presenting in conven tion the principles in substance, if n<d in word-, of the party of hi* State. Col. W right de< larod in convention that lie de sired the delegates to go'MNtromwtrfod as to the mam, as your correspondent iiiioroJf prove* and a eve ry one knows . but a* to the principles, neither Col. IVright nor any other member of the conveu linn believed that u delegate to Baltimore could bind him outside of the platform then made in State convention. His position was, 1 supposed, that of the entire convention—for there seemed to tic a general feeling against proposing the name of any wan ai our choice; but as to ignoring both priori pin* and tuen in onr convention, such a folly was not thought of. But the*© questions aud differences | ©rhap* muount to nothing. We must deni with fact* ju*t as they are, and not aa they might have been. And wbat arc these facta ? So far as declared principles can be judged from, there is no real difference between the (ioorgin Opposition party and the Constitutionalisti or Scceders a~* thev ure oiuetimes termed. Both agree in as.-muing alt tb© different feruia of freesoilistn and in asrort ing the constitutional rights of the South. Now. beiug united in principles, how can their union ho made practical so a* to promote their own views aud defeat their common foci ? This ia a question of pre eminent importance at this criti cal period, und well deserve? a patriotic and not a partisan consideration. A distinguished mem bur of the Opposition party In Georgia, it is un deratood, ruggests a onion in the Electoral tick et half Opposition and half Constitutionalists— with instruction#to cast their rote in that dire© lion which will most assuredly defeat Lincoln and Dougla -. This would bring about a union on principle which the whole Sonth would do well to imitate, but I fear that the mutual distrust which ha* been created between these two parties by brog years of riralry and contest, will prevent the con oi ram at ton of such a scheme. But if it is desirable to keep up separate or* gainrations, let me roggest that the Executive Committee call tbo Opposition party again in convention to t ike into contiderotinn the present pxsitiou of affair*. When this party a rombles let it reiterate it a ‘‘ertrdinai principles,” and appoint Elector* with distinct instruction# that if elected by th© people they h*l! not, if otherwise possi ble. throw away th© xote of Georgia in this im portant ©ontr-t; trot if the election of Breckin ridge nwr Lincoln, Douglas and Houston de pend upon their Electoral vote, that these Eloe tors shall cast the vote of Georgia for Breckin ridge and Lane, AH", that they shall oast their vote in like manner, if necessary, to prevent the transfer of the election to the Ib.uro of Repreoen tat i vi- But if su©h veto cannot secure the elec tion oi candidates pledged to maintain the con tituturo.il rights ut the tvouth, still to rhoir votes for itch men as do the most unequii ocallv represent the principles of tbo Opposition party of tierrgia a* defined in their plait..rm made at Milledgcvillw the preseut year. This arrangement will secure nothing wore perhap’Nhan the separate orgauiratiou ot th© Opposition pasty- for it is urolcssto conceal uur hopelaaj. minority last year of over votes uuldji*. indeed, there l>c *nQicicnt Dougla* men in Georgia to an divide the Detnucr.ioy as to give to the Oppo.dtion party a Majority. In that event nothiug would l>o loci to principle, under the plan proposed—for if Breckinridge uud Lane carried other .State* euough to e!e©t with the vote of Georgia, our Electors would be bound and I hope would chcorfullyYjsr their votes for them both. It may appear like folly to keep two parties ‘©parate who an> perfectly agreed, if their Bfeel© plat forms mean anything at all ©specially when they have a eo.umou fo r in their own State and elsewhere in tho shape of lhni<jltui*m to encoun ter. But U the same result ouu beat It© accotn plished by con tin ii iug separate, so let itbedotio. Thia is uo day for partisan feeling, and these suggestions arc made in the hop* that some ac tion shall be taken by which the vote of Georgia shall certainly be secured orer both Douglas and i Lincoln, and shall not be thrown away if it oan j bo made effective in the election of men to the > I'rcaidoncy and Vice-Presidency to whom the j Southern Rtates, now imperilled, may trust their coiiMitntional rights. ’ i;. j How ONI Divine CniTK ihfh Another.—lir. ftomi of tbo Baltimore Adracate, sketches Her Granville Moody a* follows: Mr. Moody from Ohio, a large, windy-looklng brother, evidontly charged with gas to the inu*- *l, sprang upon the lloor. and waa elevated to the platform, lie hold in hit* hand a manuscript speech, evidently of mature age, if not replete with wisdom, and spread himself for a grand ora torical effort.
