very numerously represented.
The public exercises began at the Chapel on
Sabbath morning, on whieh occasion the Rev.
W. Preston, D. D., of Savannah, according to
appojntment, preached the Commencement
Sermon. We were not present, but undeistand
it was a beautiful production—worthy ol the oc
casion and of the fame of the author.
At 4 o’clock on Monday afternoon, a nume
rous audience attended at the Chapel to wit

appropriate address, delivered the first medal to

to whom they had been awarded.
“Theology in the Political Field.”
We invite the attention of oui readers to an
article under the foregoing caption, which we
|t| take from the Augusta Constitutionalist. We
p*observed, at the time of its appearance, the as
sault of the editor of the Recorder upon Judge
Johnson, which the Constitutionalist repels.
But it seemed unworthy of notice ; we therefore
passed it by. The Recorder, in its last issue,
having renewed its attack—miserably pitiful as
its course is—it may not be amiss to re-pub!ish
the exposure and condemnation of it which is
found in our Augusta contemporary.
For the first time, as far as our recollection
goes, the effort is now made to constitute a can-
theological opinions a test of his fitness
for the executive chair. Should this effort be
rewarded with success, how long will it be be
fore we shall be told that only the members of
some particular denomination shall be allowed
the honors and emoluments of office ? We shall
thus have the controversies between sects—of
Presbyterians against Episcopalians, of Metho
dists against Baptists, of Protestants against
Catholics —with all their bitterness and most
unfortunate con-committants, carried into the
political field.
Is such a result desirable? Is it not to be
strongly deprecated by every fr;end of peace and
Christian charity ? If the public thus think and
feel, we hope they will rebuke, with the stern
est indignation, the authors of the theological
war which is now waging against Judge John
son. Convince the partizan zealots, Voters of
Georgia! by your ballots, that you are deter
mined that sectarian differences shall not be made
issues in political elections. Pass upon them
now your most explicit condemnation, if you
will save yourselves hereafter from the agita
tion and excitement and bitterness of sectarian
political strifes.
Were Judge Johnson indeed the member of a
Swedenborgian, church, instead of being, as it
seems, a Presbyterian, would that fact disquali
fy him for office ? Has he not a right, as indis
putable as yours and ours, to his religious opin
ions? All admit—even his assailant in the
Recorder does not deny—his strict morality.
If then his life is upright, who shall undertake
to search his heart, or sit in judgment upon the
orthodoxy of his faith ?— Sav. Georgian , 3 d inst.
The Rice and|Sea Island Cotton Crops. —
We have made some inquiries respecting the
present condition and prospects of these crops,
and from reliable sources have learned that the
Mice Crops upon the river plantations are quite
promising, and it is expected that there will be a
full average yield, unless it should be cut off by
storms or freshets later in the season. We un
derstand that upon the Satilla River the crops
are perhaps not generally so good as those upon
the Altamaha, Ogeechee, and Savannah rivers.
Crops of Inland Rice are not so promising, owing
to the severe drought during the early part of the
year. Inland plantations are irrigated by artifi
cial means, and the back waters have not, on
account of the drought, furnished sufficient water
to overflow the fields for the proper cultivation
of this kind of crop.
Sea Island Cotton.— -We are pleased to
learn, from all our informants, that this crop is
at present very promising. With favorable
weather the remainder of the season, we are as
sured that there will be a full average crop made
in Georgia. In the eastern part of Florida, ow
ing to the increased cultivation of the article
this year,as well as the superior adaptation of the
soil and climate for the growth and maturity of
this species of cotton, we are informed that,
without disasters, the prospects are favorable
for an abundant and increased ciop this season.
The Sea Island Cotton plant is, however, very
delicate, and just now, its bearing season, is a
critical time with it. Heavy and continued
rains during this month will injuriously affect
its production, and the fruits of its now promis
ing condition can only be realized by a prepon
derance of dry weather. Planters, we judge, have,
during the past ten days, had as much rain as is
desirable.
Upon the whole, we congratulate our Sea Is
land and Rice planters on their present favora
ble prospects.— Sav. Republican , 3d inst.
The Crops. —We have recently compared all
the statements upon this subject, found in our
many exchanges, and we now entertain but lit
tle doubt, that the Crops in Georgia, both Corn
and Cotton, will be little, if any, short of our
usual average. Os Corn, we are sure, there will
be a sufficiency, but not that abundance which
gives room tor wasteeconomy and care in
feeding out,” will enable our planters to “get
through” the next year without stinting their
stock, or suffering any other considerable in
convenience.
The Cotton crop, from all accounts, will not
fall short of our average. Indeed, there is not
much complaint made about our great staple.
Upon the whole, we should be grateful and con
tented, for though we have not to pull down our
old barns, and put up new ones, we will gather
enough to answer our wants and repay our
labor.— Madison Family Visitor , Aug. 4.
AUGUSTA, GA.
FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST 4.
FOR GOVERNOR,
HON. HERSCHEL V. JOHNSON.
Os Baldwin County.
New Hats.
Mr. J. Taylor, Jr., and Mr. G. W. Ferry,
will please receive our thanks for one of Beebe
& Co.’s new style Fall Hats, a sample of which
we have received from each. They look well,
they fit well, and will, no doubt, wear well.—
We like the pattern of the Fall Style, and think
it a decided improvement on the summer. Those
who wish to treat themselves to a new castor ,
and thereby improve their appearance, can do
so by calling on either of the above houses. We
put on one, and then the other, and after examin
ing ourself in a glass could see no difference in
our appearance, further than that it was much
improved.
Fine Peaches.
Mr. Redmond, the assistant Editor of the
Southern Cultivator, has presented us with some
fine Peaches, the best we have seen this season.
He will please receive our thanks. He has one
of the largest orchards in the State,and daily sup
plies our market with delicious ffuit.
A Large Claim. —A Western Pennsylvania
company have set up a claim to the whole of the
Western Reserve of Ohio, under a grant from
Connecticut, alleged to have been made after the
year 1762, when Charles II granted to that
colony a patent for the Reserve. In 1795, it
will be remembered, she sold the Reserve to
another company, relinquishing all claim to Juris
diction over the territory to the United States
in 1800. These Pennsylvania parties, on Fri
day last, applied to the General Land Office to
make them patents for all the Reserve. The
office replied, that the Government, never hav
ing had a claim to or proprietorship over that
territory,they cannot entertain the application ;
and that the State of Connecticut is the pprty to
whom the Pennsylvania company must look for
redress, if they really have rights involved in
the case.
A letter from Naples, says “We are about
to lose the most independent foreign minister at
the Court of Naples, Mr. E. Joy Morris, Ameri
can Charge d’Affaires, who retires, in common
w ith the whole diplomatic corps of the United
States, on the aduent nt’ the new President. It
is but just to say that this gentleman has com
pleted Lis mission with honor and intelligence.
Mr. Morris and the representative of her Bri
tannic IMajesty are the only two Ministers at
the Court of Naples who have throughout the
troublesome period of the last four years steadily
assumed an honorable and independent attitude
towards the Government of the Two Sicilies,
We may say that British subjects and American
citizens are the only foreigners respected in
Naples. Mr. Morris has obtained some valuable
commercial advantages for his country.”
At the Crystal Palace, on Friday, 3,348 per
sons were admitted on single tickets, and 1,760
on season tickets. The cash receipts were sl,-
632.50. The contributions to the Washington
National Monument fund amounted to $41.40.
The report that ladies were not admitted to the
Palace unless accompanied by gentlemen, has
been contradicted ; and it is said that all the
employees in the building are instructed to pay
particular attention to them.
The War Question. —The Washington
Union commenting on the news received by the
Asia, says there is nothing in it to solve the
question of peace or war in Europe. Upon the
whole, we regard the intelligence as confirming
the impression we have heretofore had as to the
continuance of peace. We think that England
and France have the decision of the question;
and their inducements to avoid the threatened
war are so strong, that we still belive they will
agree upon some diplomatic mode of saving the
honor of the Sultan and the Emperor without a
resort to arms. Such an effort was being made
with reasonable prospects of success,at the latest
dates.
Another new democratic paper is about to be
started in Washington. $50,000 have been rais
ed, and Mr. J. Bacon, the veteran editor and es
sayist. is to edit it. It is said it will start in De
cember next, and is owned by New York and
North Western members of Congress and politi
cians.
The Crops. — The Savannah News of the 3d
inst. says : “ A gentleman of this city who has
lately traveled extensively through the interior
of this State and a portion of Tennessee, informs
us that the late rains have very much improved
the cotton and corn crops. In Cherokee county,
the corn looks remarkably well and will yield a
fine crop. This is also the case with the corn
in that portion of Tennessee which borders on
Georgia. He informs us that the general opin
ion is that there will be no scarcity of corn, and
that a fair crop of cotton will be made.
Great Speculation. —The New York Atlas
publishes the following : We are told that dur
ing the pendency es the railroad consolidation
bill in the legislature, the Hon. E. D. Morgan,
Senator lrom this city, bought, on his own ac
count, the entire stock of the Troy and Sche
nectady railroad, for $240,000. In less than ten
days after he made the purchase the bill passed,
and he turned it into the stock of the consolida
ted concern for $500,000 ! thus realizing a net
profit pf #260,000 by the operation.

Charleston, Aug. 4, P. M.
Cotton. —Sales to-day 500 bales. The sales
of the week reach 2,600 bales at 11 cents. We
quote,middling fair 11 cents. Receipts 2,500
bales. Stock, exclusive of that on shipboard,
8,350 bales.
I Telegraphed for Baltimore American .l
BosroN, July 31. — Railroad Accident—Ship
John C. Calhoun—The Weather. —The railroad
tram from Montreal yesterday morning, with
about 200 passengers, was thrown off the track
at the junction of the Lake Champlain road,
near St. John’s, owing to the misplacement of
the switch. Some damage was sustained, but
none of the passengers were fatally injured.
A telegraphic despatch from St. John, N. 8.,
yesterday, states that the ship John C. Calhoun,
before reported ashore at Musqush, has been got
off, and was at anchor at Little Musqush. A
steamer had been sent to tow her to St. Johns.
CiNcrNNATr, July 30. —Examination of Coun
terfeiters. —The gang of counterfeiters, recently
arrested here, had an examination to-day before
Judge Spooner, and were held to bail in the sum
of SIO,OOOO each for counterfeiting and $5,000
for robbery, several sheets of genuine notes
being found in their possession. In default of
security they were committed to jail.
Louisville, Aug. I. —Kentucky Election.— An
election was held in this State to-day for mem
bers of Congress and the State Legislature.
Mr. Preston, Whig candidate for Congress, had
800 majority over English, Democrat, at noon,
and is certainly elected in the District.
New York, August Ist. —Reported Death of
Com. Newton. —The despatch announcing the
death of Com. Newton at Pensacola, is probably
incorrect, as his friends here have advices from
him to the 20th ult.
Wheeling, Aug. Ist. —Condition of the Ohio ,
Sfc. —The steamer Latrobe left this afternoon
for Louisville and Cincinnati Freight 35 a 40c.
The new boat “ Fort Henry” will leave for
below to-morrow afternoon.
There are 33 inches water in the channel and
rising.

The Alabama Elections.
Montgomery, Aug. 2.—The Alabama elec
tions commenced on the Ist inst. The candi
dates for Congress in the Second District were
James Abercrombie,|Sr., Whig, and David Clop
ton, Democrat. Abercrombe’s majority in Mont
gomery county, was about forty, and in Russell
county, 325. Clopton had about 300 majority
in Macon county. The Whig County tickets
have been elected in Montgomery. Macon,
Chambers and Barbour counties. The vote,
however, will probably be close for Congress.—
In the Ist District, Phillips, Democrat, and E.
Lockwood, Whig, both Lawyers of Mobile, are
the candidates for Congress. In Mobile, Phillips
has 200 majority, and the Democratic State
ticket has been elected. In the Seventh Dis
trict James F. Dowdell, Democratic nominee,
and G. G. Garrett, Union Democrat, were the
candidates for Congress, and the former has been
probably elected. William S. Earnest, who is
a Whig, but run as the internal improvement
candidate, has a good vote for Governor. A
late Temperance Convention at Selma, also,
nominated him as thir candidate. The other
candidates for Governor, were R. W. Walker,
the Whig nominee, who declined but was voted
for by many Whigs; John A. Winston, the De
mocratic nominee, who, it is thought, will be
elected, though, perhaps, not by a majority over
all others; and Col. Nicks,Union Democrat, but
there were no indications prior to the election,
of an effort to rally the late Union party for him
except in two counties, Talladega and Russell,
in both of which he has probably obtained a
large vote.
IWe have, from information in our possession,
relative to the state of the canvass in Alabama,
somewhat amplified our very obliging corres
pondent’s dispatch, in order to enlighten our
readers, as far as possible, as to the probable re
sults of the election. Party lines were not, we
believe, as tightly drawn as usual, though the
general impression seems to be that there will
be a Democratic majority in the Legislature.
In the Third Congressional District, Sampson
W. Harris, Democratic Representative in the
last Congress, has probably been elected over
Judge Moore, Southern Rights candidate. In
the Fourth District there were three candidates
for Congress, the Hon. W. R. Smith, late Union
Democrat member, S. F. Hale, Whig, and Syd.
Moore, tegular Democrat. The chances, it is
said, were that Hale would slip in. In the
Ffth District, there being no opposition, General
Houston has been re-elected. In the Sixth Dis
trict,the Hon. W. R. W. Cobb, late Representa
tive, and C. C. Clay, Jr., of Huntsville, both
Democrat, were candidates, and, it is thought,
that Clay, as usual, has been elected. —Editors
Courier.
Ohio.—State Election in October. —We
continue to receive the most favorable news
from Ohio. Our democratic friends there have
full confidence in the triumphant election of the
following ticket:
For Governor—William Medill.
Lieutenant Governor—Lester L. Bliss.
Secretary of State—William Trevitt.
State Treasurer—John G. Breslin.
Supreme Court Judge—Thomas W. Battley.
Attorney General—George W. McCook.
Board of Public Works—Wayne Griswold.
The election of members to the legislature
will take place at the same time. Our friends
are sanguine that they will elect a decided
majority. The body will elect a Senator in
Congress in place of the Hon. S. P. Chase,
whose term will expire on the 4th March, 1855.
Choate’s Eulogy of Webster. —The Hon.
Rufus Choate, of Massachusetts delivered at
Hanover, New Hampshire, on the 27th, a eulogy
on the life and character of Daniel Webster,
which is highly spoken of by those who heard
it. The New Mirror says of it:
“ The eulogy is considered the most brilliant,
eloquent and profound that has yet been uttered
to the memory of the great orator and states
man. It examines him through all his career ;
contrasts him at h s several epochs, and in his
varied characters,with illustrious compeers prior
and contemporary; it contemplates him in the
forum, at the bar, in the Senate, in the Cabinet,
and most sublime and beautiful of all, in his
pastoral home, among the fields his hands culti
vated, and the flocks and herds on which his
mortal eye gazed with such fond delight. It is
a great eulogy—rising to the grandeur of its
theme, and will endure as a monument of the af
fection of genius for greatness, longer than me
morial, stone or brass.”
Military and Naval Force of Russia.—
The International Journal estimates the availa
ble standing army of Russia, always ready for
aggressive purposes, to be in round numbers
800,000 men, besides a navy of no inconsidera
ble power. This estimation must be to some
extent questionable, but it is probably an ap
proximation to the truth.
A late number of the St. Paul Pioneer gives
glowing accounts of the rapid increase of popu
lation in Minnesota. In the town of St. Paul
“ the number of houses completed this season,
or in process of erection, is almost incredible.
Two new hotels; of convenient and commodi
ous description, are in progress of building, and
many of the new edifices now going up would
be creditable to an Eastern city.” Emigrants in
large numbers are passing up the Minnesota and
upper Missouri rivers, to settle upon the fertile
lands bordering thereon ; and it is also stated that
every steamer arriving at St. Paul from below
comes crowded with settlers, mostly farmers.
The Detroit Tribune says : “ We learn from
a correspondent at the North American copper
mine, Lake Superior county, that a piece of mass
copper has been found “ lying round” in that
region, detached from the rock and ready for cut
ting, the weight of which is estimated at one
hundred a*d fifty tons. At the present market
value of copper, this one mass is worth over one
hundred thousand dollars.
[COMMUNICATED.]
SuMMEKETELD, ALABAMA,)
July 25th, 1853. J
Editor Constitutionalist and Republic:
Dear Sir —Believing that your'columns would
not be encumbered with a communication from
one interested in the improvements of the nine
teenth century, I send you one for insertion.
I first intend speaking about Selma, and her
improvements. I was agreeably surprised to
find that it had improved most wonderfully. I
have not seen Selma since 1850, and was en
chanted almost, when I looked again upon it a
few days since. Selma is no mushroom city; it
did not spring up in a night—it has been in
creasing gradually ever since the first log hut
was framed. The citizens are enterprising and
ambitious, and knowing that Selma could oe
brought in closer proximity with North Ala
bama and Tennessee, they resolved to build a
rail-road, and they never shrunk Irom their re
solution until they saw the iron horse plough
ing the forest on his way to their city. Selma is
now accessible by steamboats, stages and a rail
road, and is, I assure you, a “mighty city.” I
have never seen an estimation ot the number of
inhabitants there, yet, making a rough estimate,
should suppose there were between two and three
thousand, and in comparison with any other
town in the Union of the 6ame population, will
far excel some, because she now boasts of her
rail-roads and many other improvements—and
moreover, of her plank roads and Artesian Wells-
We fin Augusta) cannot boast of Artesian Wells.
These Artesian Wells are now the wonder and
admiration of the age; they are far ahead of
“Spiritual Rappings” and “Volunteer Corps.”
But, Mr. Editor, I do not intend holding these
Wells in derision. lam an advocate for having
them bored in every town, city and hamlet in
the United States, and on every plantation where
are made 100 bales of cotton. lam only sorry
that Augusta does not boast of at least one or
more. If our high minded citizens would on
any other occasion (than when our city was on
fire) say they would have water brought into
every street, it would be done. Yet they never
think of any such thing. When their city is on
fire and likely to burn up, then their hue and
cry is water! water !! And, Mr. Editor, where
is this water to come from ? Can it be brought
from the Savannah river at Jess expense, than it
cculd be from the bowels of the earth ? I think
not. Then why not have an Artesian Well
bored, and see “how it takes.” If one is bored,
it is my impression that more will be, and why
not try it ? The expense is trifling—for four (400)
hundred dollars, you can have one bored which
will be five (500) hundred feet in depth, and
will afford, l am sure, sufficient water to “turn
a mill.” By boring three wells you achieve a
“twofold object.” You not only have a suffi
cient supply in case of an alarm of lire, but you
have water all the time suitable for “drinking
purposes.” I think water from an Artesian
Well would be much purer than water from the
Turknett Springs—in fact, I know it would,
because it is free from all sediment, and the wa
ter in Augusta is not : that I know from experi
ence. Probably you would like to know what
is done with this water, and how many gallons
are discharged from some of them per minute,
and whether they are prolific of much good or
not. We all know though, that water is never
otherwise that prolific of good; for what can be
a better recommendation to one moving to a
town than good, pure crystalline water ? These
wells in Selma, strike the beholder with amaze
ment, especially one from the “backwoods.”* In
the principal street there are four, three bored
and furnishing water, and one being bored.
They a e all surmounted by a piece of casting,
not having as yet been surmounted by granite,
as they intend having them (I suppose). One,
particularly, strikes the beholder. It is sur
mounted by a granite figure representing a Naiad,
or a female attired in a loose flowing robe, in
the attitude of pouring water from a pitcher,
which ‘he has in her hand, and is beautiful. The
well are surmounted by a basin, and as soon
as the water is received it is discharged through
pipes and conveyed into different parts of the
city, to subserve the purposes designed. The
water is purely crystalline,and is very nice and
palatable. The citizens of Selma did not have
drinking vessels at each of the wells, (when I
was there,) but they need only to be told of this
oversight and they will have each well furnish
ed with one or more. I know they will—for
they are accommodating to strangers. I felt
particularly anxious to procure a vessel to ob
tain a drink of this “invigorating balsam”—and
did, for I drank out of the bucket with which
the driver of the vehicle I was in, watered his
horses. It drank very nice too. But two ingredi
ents were not palatable—they were the “saliva of
the horses and “meal bran.” Very, nice, though
—ahem ! Well, Mr. Editor, I think the benefit
that an Artesian Well would be to your city,
has been pointed out; at least I have told of the
benefit it has been to Selma, and will after a
while tell what they have done for Cahaba.
They would be of inculculable benefit to Au
gusta. I hope the citizens will be aroused to a
knowledge of their supineness, and have one
bored before the close of 1853.
I have forgotten to mention the other im
provements of Selma. I saw many fine edifices.
There are several fine hotels, academies, &c.,
one of which is an imposing edifice (the Ma
sonic Institute). There are several mercantile
establishments, which do an extensive business
both wholesale and retail. Two large ware
houses, one large foundry and many private re
sidences, which for architectural beauty cannot
be surpassed.
I visited the ‘'Alabama and Tennessee River”
rail-road while there. I examined it well. It is
well graded and is laid with the heavy rail, simi
lar to the rail upon the “Georgia Railroad.”
The cars are built substantially, (I allude to the
freight cars,) and are calculated to be able to
bear many thousand pounds upon them I did
not see the passenger cars, but presume they
are of as exquisite workmanship as the cars upon
the Georgia Railroad. They differ somewhat
from them, for I learn they are furnished with
restaurants, where can be obtained for a trifling
remuneration, (ginger cakes and beer)—this is
truly exhilarating to the weary traveler.
I must leave Selma, for I have already tres
passed too much upon the columns of your in
valuable paper, which by the by,should be taken
in “ these parts.” They are Southrons out here;
and should patrouizt Southern editors.
I cannot close without saying something of
the beautiful little town from which I write. It
is situated a few miles northward of Selma, and
is the seat of two of the most flourishing institu
tions in the South, male and female. I attended
the examinations ofthese schools,and m ust say I
was highly delighted-it must certainly have been
gratifying to parents who have children here.
The schools are under the survelilance of A. H.
Mitchell, D. D., a geitleman of capability. He
has been the worthy President for a number of
years, and has alwayi given universal satisfac
tion. He is assiste* in both departments by
teachers in every was/ competent to take charge
of the duties assigned them. Great credit is due
to Monsieur Brady, a gentleman who i— abt in
the French Department last sessionr He has
given entire satisfaction to the Trustees and
patrons of the institution. He was instructor in
Music and the French language, and I can say I
was highly delighted with the music I heard du
ring the examination. Two Concerts were
given by the young ladies of the Centenary In
stitute—one on. Monday, the other on Tuesday
night, (the 4th and sth July.) This school
(the male) should be universally patronized, for
these reasons, namely : It is free from the allure
ments of vies and immorality — not speaking of
the health of the place r which is excellent. The
sale of ardent spirits is not allowed ; no gaming
saloons or any thing of a vicious nature counten
anced. Summerville has 3 stores, 2 blacksmith
shops, 1 Methodist Church, (where the negroes
have church on Sabbath,) 3 physician’s
1 shoemaker and 1 tailor’s shop. There are
about 25 families residing here,who patronize the
institution, and who take boarders for the ac
commodation of the Trustees of the school. I
am sorry to see so few names among the Alumni
from Georgia. You ought to send some of “ your
fast young men,” the incorrigible ones, out here
to school, and let them scatter wild oats here to
see if they are adapted to this soil and climate.
Just try one or two of ’em. I think it would
be beneficial to them. Don’t you ?
But let us leave the school, and get in a slow
coach and go to her sister city, Cahava. Cahaba
has advanced in one thing—Artesian wells.—
There are some 15 wells in the place—l visited
3or 4, and was highly pleased with them. The
water is not so pleasant to the taste as that in
Selma, but it is equally as pure and washes most
beautifully. The citizens commenced a Cotton
Factory, but it is not in operation. They dug
an Artesian well there, for the purpose of turn
ing the machinery, and it is one of the finest in
the world—so I was told by one of the “ en
lightened ones .” It is, though, without exaggera
tion, a “ mighty bold ’un.” It discharges 13 00
gallons of water per minute, and the stream
leading from the ground is sufficiently bold to
carry a small canoe or to “ turn a mill” with an
overshot wheel.
Before closing, allow me to mention some
thing about a well upon the plantation of F.
B. King, Esq., near Cahaba. It discharges 500
gallons of water per minute, and is next in size
to the one in Cahaba just mentioned.

Gwinnett County.
At a meeting of a large number of the Demo
cratic party of Gwinnett county, this day held
in Lawrenceville, for the purpose of nominating
candidates for the Senate and House of Repre
sentatives, Capt. George Reid was call to the
Chair, and Isaac M. Young requested to act as
Secretary. After the meeting was organized,
the Chairman made'a few appropriate remarks,
and Col. Hutchins addressed the meeting, ex
pounding, in a very lucid and appropriate man
ner, the principles of the Democratic party. He
contrasted the progressive and liberal principles
of that party, with the stand-still, contracted
principles of the so-called Union Conservative
party, to the no small discomfiture of some of its
adherents who were standing by.
The following Resolutions were then intro
duced by T. Allan, Esq., and unanimously passed
by the meeting, to wit:
Resolved , That the Democratic party of Gwin
nett county stand upon the broad National Demo
cratic Platform laid down by the National Demo
cratic Convention by which Gen. Franklin
Pierce was nominated for the Presidency, and
that we adhere strictly to the principles by which
he was so triumphantly elected to the Presi
dency of these United States.
Resolved , That we heartily approve of the no
mination cf Herschel V. Johnson as the Demo
: cratic candidate for Governor of Georgia, and
pledge to him the cordial and undivided support
of the party in this county.
Resolved , That this meeting proceed to select
by ballot a candidate from the Democratic party,
to represent this county in the Senate, and two
other candidates to be run for members of the
House of Representatives of the next General
Assembly.
Whereupon, the balloting was gone into, and
the result was the nomination of Col Henry P.
Thomas for the Senate, and John C. Whitworth
and Thomas P. Hutson for the House, by large
majorities. Their nominations were then made
unanimous.
On motion of Col. Thomas, the proceedings
of the meeting were ordered to be published in
the Constitutionalist 4* Republic, of Augusta, Ga.
The meeting then adjourned, and the large
number of citizens w’ho composed it broke up
and dispersed in perfect harmony.

The Canvass in Oglethorpe.
Mr. Editor : —The “ Dryites” had their
meeting on the 30th ultimo, and but for a greater
supply of Adam’s ale, in the shape of a few
showers, than we bargained for, everything
went of “as well as could be expected.” There
were three addresses—from Capt. Thomas, of
Elbert, of 2 hours and 20 minutes ; from Dr.
Willingham, the Anti-Legislation Candidate for
Senator, 2 hours ; and the “ Old Warhorse of
Temperance,” the Rev. Dabney P. Jones, who
wound up the show. A Banner was presented
by Miss Hartsfield, on behalf of the ladies, and re
ceived by Mr. Stevens, of Penfield, on behalf of
Glade Division. No. 145. There was, too, an
ample supply of the substantials, in the shape of
“ barbacued meats” etc. We were in hopes that
we should be able to furnish a list of the can
didates—but it seems no others are yet out ex
cept, Dr. Willingham, Anti-Legislation, for
Senator, and Judge Mial Smith, Legislation, his
opponent. Two or three are mentioned for the
House, but they don’t seem yet ready to “ show
their hands,” and we await the announcement
of the fact—when we will communicate the
names to you. There is no doubt in our opinion?
that if full tickets are run, with the above
named ’gentlemen at head, there will be
hard scratching for the race ! And as we like
to see a race that, from “ the start to the coming
out,” leaves it doubtful who is to be the winner.
we hope to have that pleasure this fall. So
gentlemen, of both the “ Dryite and Wetite”
school—“ name your nags!”—“ come up to the
scratch !”—“ back your judgments”—“ mount
your riders,” and away !”
“ And when ‘ ‘ there” you run the race,
May we bo “ thar” to see!—

A Great Blessing to the Afflicted.—
Dr, M’Lane, the inventor of the Cele
brated Liver Pills, used these Pills for several
years in his practice, before he could be induced
to offer them to the public in such a manner as to
make them known throughout the country. This
loarned physician felt the same repugnance that
all high-minded men of science feel in entering the
list against those unscrupulous empirics who ob
trude their useless nostrums upon the public, and
rely upon a system of puffing to sustain them.
Convinced, however, of the rdfcl value of the Liver
Pills, and influenced by the plan dictates of duty,
the Doctor finally sacrificed his delicate feelings on
the altar of public good. His great medicine has
not disappointed the expections of tho medical
practitioners, at whose instance he was induced to
forego his inclinations. From every quarter do we
hear the most gratifying accounts of its wonderful
curative effects—the East and the West, the North
and the South, are alike laden with ‘‘tidings ot
greatjov” from the afflicted. These wonderful
Pills have completely conquered that great scourge
of America, the Liver Complaint.
