Mil Editor:—Allow me through thc columns of the Telegraph to offer to the public, and es pecially to thc voters of thc 3d Congressional District, a few thoughts which presented them selves jto my mind on reading the “ Call of thc American Central Executive Committee” for thc meeting of an Opposition Convention to assem ble at Milledgeville, on the 3d Wednesday in July next A few words as to its objects. It says noth ing against Gov. Brown’s administration; this is well enough, and shows the good sense of the Committee—at least in that respect Gov. Brown's administration needs no defence; it is ita own defender; it is before tne cuuuUj-, wo are willing and ready to go with it before the honest voters of Georgia; it is all thc plat form we desire, and on sucli a one success can not be doubtful. Tlie ipse dixit of the Committee has gone forth, and what is it? Hear and tremble, oh Democrats! “Organize is the word,” say they; do you, honest reader, ask for what? Let thc Committee answer: “To hurl this (the Demo cratic) party from power.” As to thc “corrup tion” of thc Democratic party, that is only one A striking example of this truth is. be found in a couple of communication* which lately appeared in a city paper over the signa tures of “Bibb” and “Spikes.’’ The pro fusion of sage advice which their articles con tain has certainly laid the Democratic party under heavy obligations to their generous and gifted authors. They have laid open thc store house of political knowledge, and made it ac cessiblc to their readers, which in this selfish ago speaks well for their liberality. It is not without precedent however, for history informs us that Aristotle made known to all the world thesecretsinlearningwhich be had before com municated in private lectures only to his pupil Alexander the Great. But what have these wri ters done to entitle themselves to the thanks of the Democratic party ? Why “ Bibb ’ has generously relieved the Democratic party in the Third Congressional District from thc on erous duty of erecting a platform upon which to put their candidate for Congress in the cn suing election by modestly constructing one himself for the use of the party—while his equally patriotic co-laborer, “ Spikes, lias with remarkable self complacency, told the Democratic Gubernatorial Convention what they should do—and what they should not do. Why not at once invest these two “Sir oracles with the general oversight of tlie business and interests of Democracy in the State of Geor gia! Such a regency would be quite in the Napo leonic style, and would save the “rank and file,” thc time and labor now spent in learn ing theirduty by gratuitously pointing it out to them. As the other Democratic papers gen erally have been so stupid as not to perceive the signal advantages which would result to the mass of the party, from this regency syo tem in the hands of these two Macon “soors and sages,” I hope, Mr. Editor, that you will lose no time in urging upon thc Democracy thc great importance of this subject. The elections will soon be on hand, and thc masses should be brought under the healthful inflm ence of the “regency’’ in time, lest they might blunder in casting their votes at the polls. You need not fear that your endorsement of their programme will cause calterwaulingmnoug of many reckless assertions, and one not war- t lle faithful or divisionjn their ranks, for the fore gives offence to both.

Why, in their own expressive language, “ to ignore for the time all questions of minor importance.” Among these “questions of minor importance” is that (as the Committee loll us) of “foreign citizen ship.” Truly one would think that the age of Grecian mythology was returning, and that Cronas was revived in thc American party; old Cronas, you remember, swallowed all his own children, because it was doretold by an oracle, that they, in the course of ages would wrest his kingdom from him. Observe the striking re semblance between this cruel god and the Am erican (Heaven save thc mark) party. Only a few short years ago, the great Know-Nothing party announced to the country and tlie world in general, that if foreigners were allowed to come here and exercise—according to establish ed law—the rights of citizenship, that soon the country would be engulfed in ruin, the pillars of our temple of Liberty would crumble in the dust, and that we the votaries of freedom would all become Roman Catholics, and helpless sub jects to His Holiness the Pope. This would in deed have been a deplorable state ot aHhirs; but time rolled along; foreigners continued to come to thc land of freedom—of peace and plcn- views presented by these two “true and tried” Democrats are so very forcible and striking that they have but to be read to be adopted. A specimen or two may not be out of place here. Bibb insists among other things, that it shall be a part of the political creed of the Democratic candidate for Congress in this Dis trict, that “Georgia (notwithstanding the pro hibition contained in the acts of Congress as well as in her own State Constitution,) has the right to import slaves from Africa if she choos es, as well as from Virginia or North Caroli na, aud an interference on thc part of the Fed eral Government would be unconstitutional.” Put the Democratic candidate for Congress on this new plank, and it doubtless would se cure for him the votes of the slaveholders and poor while laborers of the district, since one of the inevitable consequences of re-opening thc foreign slave trade, and importing a few mil lions of savage Africans into the South, would be to bring down the price of negro fellows to five hundred dollars, and their hire to fifty dollars a year, while white labor would be re duced in the same proportion. It is quite like ly then that the white laborers who constitute a majority of the district would support the ad vocate of a system which would bring down their labor and wages to the starving point.

Williams, pub lisher of numerous city directories in the South ern and Western States, is now in our city to procure names, business locations, residences, a list of benevolent and other societies, and Mr. Ashton, of Scriven, made his debut in Georgia on this occasion, and in a very credit able speech, he advocated the passage of the resolutions endorsing thc administration. He is quite a yonng man—a Carolinian by birth, and a lawyer by profession. After tho adop tion of the resolutions, there was a general call for Jackson of Chatham, and he was forced into a speech of twenty minutes, full of eloquence. During his speech, he took occasion to read thc record of Mr. Buchanan ou tho slavery question from his entrance into public life down to the present time. We regret that we were not able to procure it for publication. As far as Mr. Buchanan’s votes are concerned, it ex hibits a record for thirty years, “sound as thc soundest on tbe question of slavery.” Mount Vernon all but paid lor. Tho last number of the Record says that all but thc fractional part of thc $230,000 Mount V’crnon purchase money has been paid to Col. Washington. The Association, however, de sires to raise $20,000 over and above the $30, 000 remaining to be paid, to repair the residence and improve the grounds. This achievement of the American ladies, reflects infinite credit on their patriotism and energy. Third Dist.
