DE3IOCKATIC X03IIKAXI0XS. FOR GOVERNOR, JOS. E. BROAV^. FOR CONGRESS—3n district. 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. Hon. Alfred Iverson Was at the Lanier House on Sunday last, en route for Columbus from Griffin, A Collard. Mr. William E. Jenkins has left in our office a Collard, which weighs seven pounds and mea surer. four feet in diameter. Sonlli-IVesfern News. 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.” Appleton's New American Cycfo- 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 nished only to subscribers at price; varying 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 ring the C’yclopiedia. Mr. Dean is a.’so Agent for Benton’s Abridgment of CongrcN ional de bates in same size and number of volumes, and now in courseof publication by the sai ic House. 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 grcssional District met at Waresboro’, W ednes- day 13th instant, and after six balloting*, nom-; the 16th inst, an editorial warning the Dcmo- inated the Hon.

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 the confederacy. This is our information; we 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. Friday night was the concert, which was very largely attended. The young ladies performed their task with such skill and pleasing humor, that the most fastidious would have been ex quisitely charmed with the mellow tones of the “Mocking Bird,” as it fell on the listening ear of the enraptured audience, waiting to send back the most sincere applause, which soon died a- way as those fifteen girls reappeared on tho stage to “chant their lesson in rhyme.” Mr. Beals, the Professor of Music, was not able to take a very active part in the Concert, having just been very siek; but we must say that he not only rol.

Thanks to the gentlemanly editors of thc Empire State for an early copy of Mr. Iverson’s speech, which came too late for extended com ment or publication to-day. The sjiecch occu pies fourteen columns of that paper. First, it treats of the importance of the slaveiy issue to all classes. Secoml its dangers in the progress of abolition opinion and encroachment. Third, tho hopelessness of an adjustment in the Union. Fourth, tho time and mode of dissolution, and, fifth, the consequences. The speech is a well arranged and well studied affair—painstakingly ultra in all points, and does great violence to Mr. Iverson, who, wc have no doubt, is at the bottom a very judicious and careful man. The meeting at (Jriflin is said to hi ve assem bled from throe to live thousand people. Sir. Iverson occupied thc stand in thc forenoon, and in the afternoon the crowd were addressed by Cols.

In this letter, the Professor, who origi nated thc School, poses the Trustees with a state ment of significant fact: “As the agents of thc State, you took charge of it in February, 1858, with one hundred and thirty-five cadets; and without any change in its published Regulations, and with thc same officers under whom it had so remarkably suc ceeded as a private Institution, thc year closed with less than ninety cadets; and now, at thc end'of a year and a half of your administration, it has less than forty.” And the whole difficulty he traces to thc act of thc Legislature creating a Board of Trustees in addition to a Board of visitors, thus multiply- they will not be re-elected.

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 ington has done well.
