Stephens in his letter to the “Macon Committee”uses thofollow* An Interesting incident in the Char leston Convention, When the Hon. W. L. Yancey, in the deliveiy of his able speech, in the Charleston Convention, had become completely absorbed in his subject, to the exclusion of everything else, he ad dressed the Convention as "gentlemen of the jury.” This little mistake pro duced a long continued uproar of mer riment, during which Mr. Yancey bow* [ed thrice, evidently showing] that he was ignorant of the cause. He applied I to the President, who was enjoying the joke as much as any one, and was in formed of his mistake. Whereupon, he immediately turned to the Convention and made the following excellent appli- , cation: "Yes, gentlemen, you are in- I deed the jury empannelled to try the | cause of our common country. But unlike the advocate who stands at the bar to speak for his client, 1 am here unpaid—no feed advocate—no seeker for office.” This happy turn exoited the utmost enthusiasm. The orator then proceed ed to make an eloquent and powerful argument for the South, that would have convinced any unbiassed jury in the world; but unfortunately for truth, for justice, and for the South, this jury was packed, and returned a verdict con trary to evidence and the highest judici al authority in the land. Georgia Politicians. We extract the following from the [Spirit of the South, an excellent South ern Bights paper, published in Eufaula, [Alabama: | Messrs. Toombs, Stephens. Johnson, llverson, and pretty near all the politi cal leaders of Georgia, have written let ters recently, advising the people of that State to ignore the Bichmond Con vention, and send delegates to the Bal timore Convention. We have no doubt the people of Georgia will obey instruc tions. They generally follow their lead ers, let them go where they may. They lore pretty much like a flock of sheep, [when the old bell wethers break off the |ilockall generally follow. The mis- [ fortune, however, is, that the bell-weth- lersof Georgia always break in the direo- Itionof the national crib. [From the Chronicle k Sentinel.] To the Opposition Party of Georgia. Mb. Editob :—Permit me through your columns, to suggest to our friends of the Opposition party of this State, to refrain from taking any action in regard to the Presidential question, until after the meeting of the Democratic Conven tion at Baltimore ,on the 18th June. I will not here stop to state the reasons for the suggestion, as they will readily occur to every man who has watched the course of events for the past few months. 1 will only say that there is no probability that the Baltimore Conven tion will nominate a candidate that the South ought to support. It is more than likely that the Southern delegates will again be forced to withdraw. In that event, is is hoped that the seceding i delegates will not, then and there, un- I dertake to nominate a candidate; but that they will call a Convention of all who are opposed to Black Bepublican- | ism and Douglas Squatterism, be they I Democrats, Americans, Whigs or Oppo sitionists. This Convention, when as sembled, may well undertake to speak for the South. I trust that the Opposition press in Georgia will give this a place in their columns. Brutus. Hon. John Bell’s Opinions. Hon. John Bell on the Kansas Bill. Extract from a debate in the Senate, May 24th, 1864, between Meiers. Bell, Toombs, and others. 'Mr. Bill. It is very well for the honorable Senator from Georgia, (Mr. Toombs,) to proclaim now that he is not legislating for any seotion; he cer tainly is not going for the South 1 I think no Southern man can show that the South has any particular interest in this bill, because it is not like the com promise of 1850; for in New Mexico and Utah you let the territory stand legally restricted or barred against slavery as it was by publio law. When that Territory was brought into the Union, Mr. Calhoun and some other honorable Senators contended that the Constitution would operate as a repeal of the Mexican law, abolishing slavery, and give protection to the slaveholder. Some other Senators doubted on that S oint. The honorable Senator from [ississippi (Mr. Brown,) can, perhaps, explain the different doctrines which then were held in the South on this subject. At all events, the compromise pets of 1850 left the Territory as it was when annexed, and allowed the people to interdict or establish slavery, as they sleased, when they should form their State constitution. That was the doc trine of non-intervention then. What is it in this bill I I am in favor of the principle of non-intervention. Such non-intervention as would have given to the South Cuba as a slave State, should it ever be annexed to the United States; such non-intervention as that, if there had been no compact with regard to the admission of Slavo States to be carved out of Texas, would have secured to us those slave States, inde- ; icndent of the compact by which the Jnited States are bound to admit them. But under the state of things now pro duced—under the feeling of distrust and resentment getting up at the North gainst the South—I predict —no, I will not predict, because it is too serious a subject—I will state that, if this state of things shall not change essentially, the time will never come when a slave State can be admitted out of Texas.— The non-intervention of 1850 was to let the Territories which come into the Union os slave territory be considered slave territory until the inhabitants determine, when they form a State constitution, that slavery Bhould be abolished ; and if it came in as free territory, then the inhabitants to restrict or adopt slavery, at their discretion, when they form a State constitution.'— But by this bill you interpose to repeal the Missouri compromise, which would restore the territory to the condition of slave territory, as it was when annexed; but not content with that, you further interrere to make it free territory.— You then provide, without limitation of time or numbers, that the inhabitants shall decide in their Territorial LegUla- tuie to establish or prohibit slavery.— Well suppose the first Legislature shall admit slavery, may not the next abolish it, and thus keep up a perpetu al struggle; while Congress, at the same time, mav be agitated again by ques tions of further intervention ? Yet this is a measure of peace to the country! It is to give quite; all agitation is to cease under it I Origin of Plants.

Tribune, thus speaks of Mr. Toomb’s late speech on Squatter Sovereignty: “ Mr. Toombs made one of his pow erful speeches against Squater Sover eignty, completely riddling the doctrine and holding it up to general contempt. He proved that the uniform practice of more than half a century had been for Congress to exercise complete power over the Territories, and oited the au thorities to show that this power had been used in various forms, all acknowl edging its absolute and unquestionable jurisdiction. His argument went to demonstrate that Congress ought to afford protection to slavery in the territories, inasmuch as we were bound by the treaties which subsequent laws had recognized to pro tect the person and property of those who became citizens by the transfer of French, Spanish, and Mexican territory, He contended that both parties at Charleston and Chicago pledged them selves to the protection of naturalized citizens abroad in all their rights, even at the hazard of war, and yet only re fused it to their own people in their own Territories. . Mr. Toombs thus seperated from his friend, Mr. Stephens, for the first time in twenty years. They have hitherto been like Siamese twins in politics. Mr. Douglas’ absence from the Senate during this speech was much remarked, and mainly from the fact that Mr. Toombs has been more tolerant of his heresies than any other Southern Sen ator. Mr. Hammond followed in a short written speech on the same side, and Mr. Pugh replied without making much impiession. Mr. Betyamin will answer Mr. Doug las' argument briefly to-morrow, and there is some disposition to close the debate. Bcv. Theodore Parker’s Health.—A late arrival from Florence, Italy, brings the inteligenoethat the Abolition fanat- io Theodore Parker is in bad health, and strong hopes are entertained that he may never recover. The Japanese Embassy. The Embassy now in Washington Is the second that has ever left Japan., The first was to Pope Gregory XIII, in 1584, when the King of Bongo, with those of Arina and Omura, islands of Japan, sentan embassy to Borne, to lay at the feet of the Pope the homage ana obedience of the Christian Kings of Japan. Two Princes were on this em bnssy. The voyage to Europe was a prosperous one, and they arrived in Por tugal two years after their departure from Nagasaki, having stopped in India on their way. They were received in Lisbon with great ceremony, and mul titudes of the people flocked to the churches to see them. They had a similar reception at Madrid, where King Phillip the Second came personally to pay his respects to them. Pope Greg ory gave them a publio reception in Rome, and all the foreign parsons of distinction joined in the procession.— The knighthood of the Golden Spurs was conferred upon the Princess ; the Pope put on the sword and girdle, and the Ambassadors of France and Spain buckled on the spurs. They were con ducted back with similar ceremony.— They returned to Nagasaki in 1590.— The two Princes became Christian mis sionaries, and one of them sealed his religious profession with hia blood,when the Japanese expelled the Jesuits, and shut themselves out from all foreign in tercourse. Various attemptt have been since made to re-open communication with the Japanese. Two embassies, sent by Russia, have failed to obtain an entrance into the country. Commo dore Perry accomplished what so many failed in, and the present visit of the Japanese embassy is the result of his undertaking. Be Genial and Litblt.—We have the impression that a vast deal of humor is conscientiously strangled in some people, which might illuminate and warm the way of life. Wit and gaiety answer the same purpose that a fire does in a damp house, dispersing chill and drying up mould, and making all wholesome and cheerful. The differ ence between such a man as Theodore Hook and Sidney smith is all the difference between lively nonsense and lively sense. Wit is a flash of oil to keep the machinery of life in smooth and kindly play, but he who lives on oil has too much of a good thing.
