COL. A. M. SPEER.
Third District Convention.
We publish elsewhere the proceedings of this
highly respectable body. Every county was
represented and the best feeling prevailed. The
result, it will be seen, is precisely what current
opinion had led us to anticipate and foreshadow
in the last Telegraph. We believe Col. Speer
will cany with him the best wishes and most
cordial support of the Democracy of this dis
trict, and though running against odds, none
will despair of his success. If elected, all who
know him will confidently anticipate in him a
useful, industrious, and influential representa
tive—one of the indefatigable kind, who will do
something more for his constituency than occu
py the seal. As a man of high moral worth—
intelligence—and general aptitude for the posi
tion to which he is designated, the Democracy
of this district present him with a just pride
for the suffrages of their fellow citizens. He
will do his part—let us now do ours.

Col. Guerry, of this able paper, commenting
upon Stephens’ speech, says:
••We do not doubt the truth of all these as
sertions. If wo fail to make slave States out of
the Territories, it is for no other reason than
that given by Mr. Stephens. Kansas to-day is a
slave territory under the law, with a majority
of three to one, against the institution. And
yet, many are abusing Democrats because they
cannot make it a slave State, llut we will not
understand Mr. Stephens to declare in favor of
re-opening the slave trade. We lament the fact
that we cannot have new slave States added to
the Union—but we honestly think the remedy
in this instance is worse than the disease.”

P-EDIA.
A compendium of human knowledge on all
subjects, of easy reference and satisfactory ful
ness, roust constitute the mast desirable of books
to the reading, fwriting or talking man, or the
intelligent family and social circle. The com
pilation and printing of such a book is alike a
stupendous investment of mental and material
capital and labor, and yet, after all. it takes no
great lapse of time in this progressive age, se
riously to impair the value and reliability of the
investment The old standard Encyclopaedias
of a half century ago, immense and costly as they
were, are out of date—behind the tim ts, and
serve only as mile posts to note the tremendous
progress of the world in this era of stcini and
electricity. The Applctons in New Yo - k have
now in progress, under the title which heads
this article, a new work which has progressed
to the 6th volume, and will be completed early
next year. It is edited by-George Ripley and
Charles A. Dana, and the list of conti ibutors
thus far, reaches over 100 names of persons dis
tinguished in the special subjects whi :h have
enlisted their pens. The character am 1 claims
of the work have been the subjects of ve y earn
est attention, lively comment, and so nctimes
sharp criticism by the American nc vspaper
and periodical press, hut on the whole .he ver
dict has been remarkably favorable—norc so
than could well have been expected. Il was im
possible that a work furnishing facts, dotes, and
frequently opinions on all subjects, si ould es
cape censure and fault-finding, but tii s Cyclo
paedia is coming nearer to the result tin n we be
lieved to be practicable. It is general y conce
ded to promise a fair, full, impartial li rely and
attractive summary of facts and dates upon all
subjects within the range of human Ice i and up
to the latest dates.
The work will be comprised in til teen vol
umes of upwards of 600 pages each, ai d Is fur

with the style of binding which may be selcdtcd.
The Messrs. Applctons have selected for their
Agent in this section of Georgia, It. D. V.
Dean, who has exhibited to us the most satis
factory letters, and to whom we wo ild com
mend those of our readers who desif n procu

chosen for themselves, insist on dubbing the
Democracy with one so much like it, that the
People will be sure to confound the two. The
Atlanta American talks about the “Imposition-
ists of the First District”—the “Imposition
Convention of the Second District,” and the
“Impositionists of the Third District,” meaning
the Democracy of those respective localities.—
We warn him that the people will be sure to
take the “Opposition” for the “Imposition,” and
all his heavy thunderbolts of wrath will fall on
his own head. The difference in the names is
so slight—the applicability of both to his own
party so obvious, that tjpe mass of voters will ap
ply them indiscriminately. There has been ma
ny an attempt, but never a successful one, to
rob the Democracy of their name; but they
have stuck to it, and it has stuck to them, thro’
successive generations. Time would fail us to
run through the long catalogue of opprobrious
epithets applied to them by their opponents,
just as often as the “Opposition” themselves
had worn out a name, and were forced to take a
new one; but none of their inventions stuck to
the Democratic party. Per contra, if the demo
crats failed any and every time to acknowledge
and adopt, in its application to their opponents,
eveTy new name necessity compelled them to
claim there was no little fuss and complaint.—
Thus the Georgia Telegraph, only a short time
ago, was very rudely “rebuked” for using the
term “Know Nothings” after it had been aban
doned for “Americans,” and now wc sec that
the “Oppositionists” are indignant, not merely
that they should be called “Americans,” but
thought to be the same party which went by
that name. But while the democracy thus in
dulge the capricious taste of their political oppo
nents, and permit them to take a new name, if
they choose, every year, the Oppositionists
ought certainly to reciprocate the politeness as
far as their ill humor and discontent will per
mit They ought not to insist that we, too, shall
take a new name every year, and that it shall
be a bad name, such as the “foreign party,”
“sagnichts,” “dry rots” “impositionists” Ac.,
Ac., with which they have dubbed us. All this
is rather immaterial, it is true, but while we
permit them unmolested, to cull the whole field
of nomenclature, pick out the daintiest posies of
the kind they fancy, and change them as often
as they fade, they ought to be willing we should
stick to our old evergreen—the plain Democrat,
ic party—the everlasting John Smith, of Amer
ican political nomenclature. We allow them all
the fine names they can discover and use up,
why won’t they permit as to stick to our old
one *
not the Same.
The Griffin Union protests that the “Opposi
tion” is not the same party which hailed first as
K. N. and then as “American.”
“The Democratic press try to enforce the !>e-
lief that it is but a rehash of the Know Nothing
organization, or in other words, is only the
same party under a new name, but unless wc
are mistaken in the signs of the times, the re
sult of the next elections will convince them
that the “Opposition” arc more to be dreaded
than they at present imagine.”
Well, on our part, the error, iflt bp an error,
of supposing them “the same party under a
new name,” was a very honest mistake and we
hope it may be pardoned. They look the same.
—talk and act the same—have the same family
names, and arc in all other respects as much
tion in tL—mmilig that he has virtually declare il
for the r. -opening of the African Slave Trade.
Well, Messrs. Remonstrants, if any of you are
more unwilling than wc to place Mr. Stephens
in that position, we shall bo glad to make your
particular acquaintance. None of you, we
take it, can hardly have a greater partiality for
the man, or a higher opinion of his talent 5 , in
tegrity and general sagacity as a statesman.
Against our deductions of last week, (1.) That
Mr. Stephens is in favor of expansion and (2.)
that expansion Is impossible without re-opening
the Slave trade, it is asserted: .
(1.) That Mr. Stephens expressly declines an
opinion or committal upon the policy or propri
ety of re-opening the Trade.
(2.) That while in his judgment more slaves
are indispensable to the creation of more slave
States, he does not insist on such expansion, but
on the contrary, believes the Sooth will be safe
in her present status, “if the present basis of
settlement between the sections of the Union,
which has been sanctioned by all the depart
ments of the Government, be adhered to.
(3.) The question of adherence depends main
ly on the South herself—with union there is no
danger.
(4.) That while any great expansion without
an increase of African slaves from abroad is
impossible, it is useless to wage war with those
who may withhold Congressional legislation to
protect slavery in the territories. Such pro
tection becomes in his judgment a point of little
practical importance without more slaves to col
onize new territories.
Wc have placed Mr. Stephens’ speech as pre
pared by himself, in full before our readers,
and we leave the question of construction with
them. This much they will not fail to observe;
that the speech, in bis own words, bears little
or none of the radical or vain glorioas stamp
which characterized the meagre report of it—
Every line is full of well-digested thought and
upon the hypothesis of our correspondents, we
shall take no exception to it We have no ob
jection to any amount of study into the prob
able practical workings of the African Slave
Trade, for the more light, we believe the darker
and more threatening the scheme will become
in the public apprehension upon any and all in
terests which may be comprehended in a well-
ordered and prosperous commonwealth. We
don’t believe it will help anybody so much as
the abolition manufacturers of Europe and
America to cheapen cotton at the expense of
worse cultivated and more quickly exhausted
lands, witli smaller profits to planters; and a

After the sixth ballot Judge Love was nomin

vote. During the progress of the balloting
there were tno attempts to re-enlist Mr. Seward,
but being present, he peremptorily declined,
adding that he had withdrawn in good faith.
After the nomination he was complimented
by a vote of thanks for able and efficient ser
vices, and addressed the Convention in response
to an invitation. Judge Ixne’s nomination ap
pears to havp been the result of some recent
arrangement, as he has heretofore resolutely re

siding Judge in a good many counties of the
Circuit, he lias acquired universal confidence
and good will of the people, and if any candid
ate Is run against him, it will be the mere form
of an opposition without the power. The Sa
vannah Republican from which we gather the
oregoing, says:
We are pleased to hear that he is opposed to
a revival of the traffic in African slaves, and to
the agitation for repeal, which can never suc
ceed an<l can only result in discord and division
at the south and increased sectional bitterness
between the northern and southern States of

do not vouch for its correctness.
A Chapter on Wit.
The author of the “Tin Trumpet” thus dis
courses on wit—and illustrates the subject:
Wit consists in discovering likenesses—
udgement in detecting differences. Wit is
ike a ghost, much more often talked of than
seen. To be genuine, it should have a base
of truth and applicability, otherwise it degen
erates into mere flippancy: as, for instance,
when Bwift lays; “A very little wit is valued
iu a woman, as we arp pleased with a few
words spoken plain by a parrotor when
Voltaire remarks, that “7
ciples of the Democracy; nor can I see how
supporting such a ticket would, in the least, ef
fect such a result On the contrary, I think
there are many, and strong reasons why both
political parties of Bibb county, should unite in
support of such a ticket In the last four elec
tions—from 1851 to 1857—there have been six
members elected to the Legislature by each
party, the Democrats electing three in 1851,
two in 1853, and one in 1857 ; and the whigs
one in 1653, the Americans three in 1855, and
two in 1857; thus making a stand-off between
the two parties in these four elections and du
ring which time there has bean more money
spent in canvassing and bribery, than would
have been sufficient to educate every poor child
in the county during the time; or to have fed
the hungry and olothed the naked. And what
has been the practical result of such a state of
things 1 Neither party has been able to gain
an ascendency which has lasted for more than
one election, whilst all know that it has had a
constant and growing tendency to produce a
most wretched state of morals in the county.—
It has become quite common for votes to be of
fered to tho highest bidder, and that candidate
or party that can most successfully wield the
almighty dollar, is sure to win the race.
That the public morals should and have be
come grissly corrupted by such a state of things
is apparent to every unobserving mind. In fact,
the choice of our representatives is controlled
by those who openly tfli their votes, and the
candidate who is most unscrupulous in their
purchase is sure to carry the day, provided his
money holds out.
Now, such a state of things is not only high
ly objectionable and to be deprecated in a mor
al pointof view, but it has a direct tendency to
drive from the public service those who are best
qualified to serve and advanco the public inter
est ; for many would not consent to become
candidates from considerations not only of a
moral character, but from the fact thnt they
could not atford to incur the expense necessary
to secure their election; and thus the services
of our most worthy and best qualified citizens
are lost to the public; and I know of some who
have been candidates in this county, but wifi not
again consent to be such whilst such a state of
things continue; and the only remedy for such
the ability of Mr. Pixley to teach, and his suc
cess, and passed with great credit to themselves.

.Mr. John A. Washington, tbe proprietor of
Mount Vernon, has recently invested 8140,000
in real estate in Chicago. The Iribune, of
that city, has a long article on thc subject, in
which it predicts that Mr. Washington will
be a millionaire as the result of this invest
ment, and of not overlooking tbe advantages
of a city in a free Stqte. ljke Chicago. The
Tribune says:
Doubtless he bos been offered plantations on
tbe Potomac, without number. He has un
questionably been tempted with corner lots in
Richmond and Lynchburg, and perhaps with
unlimited feet of dockage in that port from
which tbe Southern line of Atlantic steamers
does not start—Norfolk. But Mr. Washing
ton would not be a Washington if he did not
kpow the effect of slavery on the prosperity of
a State. Again we say that John A. _ Wash

yet in tbe city. If he,is, let uj exhort him to
