Hi * '.invention of the County, which met on Saturday last, has presented a ticket of in- telW-nco and ability, which we trust will se cure the unanimous support of the democracy of the county. In regard to the overture from the Opposition, of a Compromise Ticket, the Chairman of the Democratic Convention was elf-evidcntly right in ruling that a Convention elected to nominate a Democratic ticket had no option in the premises, and must dischaige the duty delegated to it, and the Convention was as clearly right in sustaining his decision. The fate of the ticket is now in the hands • f the Party, and if they do their whole duty by It, it will surely be elected by a gratifying majority. Baltimore Enormities. To the weekly budget of Baltimore achieve ments in rowdyism with which our correspon dent in that city Arors us, several more might be added which come by telegraph—for exam pie, a proprietor of a leading hotel in the monu mental city was attacked by and shot a notori ous rowdy in an omnibus last Friday. Illus trating the effect of this rampant lawlessness upon the trade as well as the good name of Bal timore. we see in several of our exchanges that parties of Southern and Western merch ants who had started to buy goods in that city, abandoned their purpose and went to Philadel phia and New York. It seems unaccountable to friends of Baltimore at a distance from that great theatre of rowdyism, that forty thousand able bodied, virtuous and well ordered men, which that city must contain, should permit themselves year after year to be terrorized over by ar insignificant pack of scoundrels, who might all be in jail in one hour and hung the next, if it was necessary to the work of -purga tion. Capt. Elardeuiuu and (lie Tlninder- 1NG snuKas A dinner is to be given to this gentleman at Thundering Springs. We always thought that it would require something more of inspiration in the Opposition than the common whiskey of the country, to beget enthusiasm and arouse thousand five hundred and seventy-two dollars I fifty cents. Wo find the foregoing, and much more of the j same sort paraded in the "Opposition” prints and qnote it to illustrate a little of the shame less inconsistency of the attacks upon Gover nor Brown in reference to the State Road. It has taken the other side just about a year and a half to occupy every possible contradictory point of assault upon the matter of these pay ments of net profits from the Western & At lantic Rail Road. Let ns briefly recapitulate and appeal to the memory of every honest reader, if we misrepresent the facts. 1. When the first payments were made, tho opposition papers said they were fraudulent— that the money was borrowed to make them— that they were not bona fide net earnings. 2. Being silenced on this point, the opposi tion next declared that they were but mere ■how and false pretence in this respect: that a niggardly and false economy had been adop ted in order to make them—the road, rolling stock and stock of wood being suffered to get out of repair, ran down and ran out in order that Dr. Lewis and Gor. Brown might gain a meretricious credit of large payments into the State Treasury. 3.. Being silenced here, they next averred that if these were bona fide payments, it be hooved the democracy to be showing why they bad not been made before, and to defend the administration of Gov. Johnson from the charge of waste, mismanagement and fraud. Every one of these payments impeached the adminis tration of Gov. Johnson. 4. When the payments increased in size, and gradually run up towards $40,000 per month, as the management of the road became more assured of the safety in making them, then the "Opposition” papers denounced them as a shameless trick to make votes and influ ence the People in the elections. 5. Bnt, lastly and finally, ascertaining that they have been wrong throughout—that the management of this great work is fairly un impeachable—the road.in fine condition—tho payments a safe and prudent return of actual net profits—-they bolt all their previous defa matory charges against Johnson and all their false accusations, imputations and insinuations against Brown—take a precisely opposite tack and boldly set up that Johnson's man agement disgraces that of Brown—that the payments onght to have been heavier, and the fact they have not been heavier demonstrates mismanagement or fraud in Brown’s adminii- tration. Mr. Warren Akin, in his speed), un dertakes to show a great short-coming in Gov. Brown’s payments, and it is fortunate for him he is in no danger of having to jnstify bis ex hibits by corresponding returns of income from the State Road. If either he or bis party ev er get hold of the bnsiness, they will make a worse fist of it than the know-nothings did when they kicked out the old Washington monu ment committee, and undertook to finish it themselves in a year. There was not another stone laid till the Monument got rid of the heavier weight of know-nothingism. Now all these unwarrantable, ridiculous, in consistent aud self-contradictory charges which hare been brought successively by the same party presses and politidans against Governor. Brown in this conuectlon, «bo«r tho utter un fairness and recklessness of those who make them—how in their eagerness to assail they will pick np any idea, no matter what, and when that won't do, take np its opposite, and thus, so far as they are concerned, they have no choice between truth and error—justice or injustice—sense or nonsense—facts orfic- tbe voters, and so we see that a little thunder and lightning arc to be introduced to vary tbe I tion in their efforts to gain control of, and man- programme. Thundering Springs is a good I age the State Road. And where tbe truth is place for the opposition to hold a meeting— to be attained only by patient and impartial they ought to accustom themselves in time to noise of all sorts, for on the first Wednesday in October next, the people will thunder into their i-nra terrible denunciations, and the shouts of Democratic triumphs will not sound to them as street as the "music of the Spheres.” Col. YVsirrcn Akin’s Speech. Concert Hall was densely crowded on Wed uesday evening last to hear the Opposition Candidate for Governor. There was nothing new in the speech. Squatter Sovereignty and Douglas—Missouri Compromise Ksnsas Bill —Casa' Le Clerc letter. Gov. Brown and his Rail Road management—Gov. Johnson did so much better, made so mneh moro moo®; praise of Iverson, with a general wind np in the way of exhortation after the manner of our neighbor of the Jonrnal & Messenger, on pare people's party composed of the honest men of all partiea. Such, we understand, were tbe main topics of Col. Akin’s address. He daz zled no one by flashes of eloquence, he con vinced no one by the force of his logic, and he changed no one by the weak statement of charges preferred against the Democratic par ty. It is our bonoat opinion that notwitbstand- - mg the speech of Col. Akin, the Democratic party is still living, and will continue a pure, powerful and triumphant organization. We hope Col. Akin may speak here again before the 1st Wednesday in October. The Christian Index. The publication Committee of this time-hon ored journal have at last secured the services of a regular official editor in the person of Rev, *B. W. AVarren, late of South-western Georgia, a gentleman whose high abilities and character are widely known to the denomination and tbe public throughout tho State; and certainly af ford every guarantee of acceptability, indepen dent of experience in editorial service. Rev. _ Messrs. Landrum and Boykin, who have sus tained the Index since the retirement of Mr. Walker, made their oonge in the last number, and Mr. Warren presents his first issue this week. Enterprise Works, macon. Among tbe large manufacturing establish ments which have sprung up in Macon during ’ the past year, tho Enterprise Works deserve .most honorable mention. Its busy hum and clatter is never-ceasing from morn to night, and and in point of extent, efficiency and complete ness it has few equals any where. See adver tisement. investigation, and comprehended and appreci- iod in tho same temper—wbat chance would a great business enterprise like the State Road have in bands like these? Consider bnt for one moment tbe thousand and one conditions of prudence, judgment, forecaste, forbearance, economy, single-mindedness. Sec., which in tbe long run must be indispensable to the per manent success and utility of this great busi ness, and let any man of sense answer to him self what mast ultimately be tbe fate of the State Road, subjected aa we sec its manage ment in election after election, to mere unin formed prejudice and misrepresentation ?— That it may over be controlled by judgment, ntelligencc and patriotism, ia our earnest bope, but it hat to ran a fearful gauntlet of demagoguism in every election. Prudent, pa triotic statesmen of Georgia, it teems to us, with the lights before them, ought to concur in the policy of getting rid of the Road as a State enterprise, as soon as consistent with the pub lie interests in that property. The State, in onr judgment, would be just as properly in the saw mill and blacksmithing business as carry ing on Kail Roads. Tbe mission of a Repub lican Government ia to protect tbe people in the enjoyment of life, liberty and happiness, and not to ran railway trains or act os com mon carrier. Onr elections should turn on questions of civil policy—of political rights or principles, and not on success of enterprise in trade and business. Medical Education. An Address to the Graduating Class of tbe Savan nah Medical College, delivered 7th of March, 1859, By B. D. Arnold, A. M., M. D., Profeasor of the Theory and Practice of Medicine, in the Savannah Medical College v We are indebted to the kindness of the author for a copy of the above Address, and we return him our thanks for the pleasure and profit we have derived from a careful pertlsal of it This Address is as full of good sense as an egg is of meat, and there are words of counsel and practical suggestions in it which not only our young, but all our medical men would do well to act upon. Dr. Arnold thinks the Standard of Education in the three liberal professions—Law, Medicine and Theology, lower in America than it is in Europe, and he chatges it as a National fault that we hurry over things too much—that we do not devote the time necessary for preparato ry studies before we assume the responsibilities of master workmen, whether in trades or profes sions, but says that much of this has arisen from our peculiar position as a vigorous young nation, affording opportunities for action, and opening avenues for employment which are de nied to older and more settled nations. In all this the learned Professor is right We are a last people, and are fond of making Doc tors, and Lawyers, and Divines in 2.30 time.—I We heard Dr. Martin, not long since say, "that a man, when he was growing up, who had a P- D. put to his name, was really a great mate— was grey headed, and had won his honors by his great arguments. A D. D. in those days was always a man of profound learning, and vast attainments, but now D. D.’s were as com mon as blackberries.” In illustration of Dr. Arnold's ideaastotho rapidity with which young men prepare for the medical profession, we repeat a statement made to us by a legal friend not long since. He had been attending the September Term of a Su perior Court in a village in Georgia, and met a young man whom he had formerly know, and upon inquiry, found he was keeping what is known as a “Grocery.” Two months after, he met the same youth in a certain city in Geor gia, and on asking him “when he came to town,’ he replied, ‘I’m living here now.’ ‘What are you doing f Tm goin to be a doctor. I’m ten- din on the Lectures at the College.’ Our friend exclaimed ‘Theh—1 you are,’ and left. Dr. Arnold is for a higher standard of Medi cal Education, and maintains that a medical man should lie not only a classical scholar, but that he should be master o£ and understand the living languages, such as German, French, Italian and Spanish, and furnishes many good reasons for the opinion, and says to tho young Physician who may be ignorant of these lan guages, that it is not too late for his pleasure or his profit to commence them. Industry and perseverance can conquer most obstacles. lie thinks the multiplicity of medical schools an evil, and suggests that the State of Georgia, should, by special statute, separate the Licen sing power from the Teaching, and recommends a Board of Licensing Examiners, in which each School is represented in connection with mem- j hers chosen outside the Schools. These arc some of the topics of interest which the learned Professor treats an, l we have no doubt that the adoption of many of his sugges tions would elevate the standard of the medical profession, and tend greatly to the advancement of the noble science. We regret that tirno and space forbids a more extended notice. We commend it to the care- fid perusal of the medical profession of our State. A Vexed Question Settled. Many papers have denied the statement made by us that Sam Houston was elected Governor of Texas as a National Democrat, and a sup porter of Mr. Buchanan’s admini-tration. We are in re ,-ipt of a eopyof the Austin Intelligent! in that place. The gravest charge of personal cer, which contains, at full length, a speech and political disability brought against Col. Too Good to eo lo Congress. | The Upson Pilot of last Saturday has a col-' umn and a half of comment upon Col. Speer’s ' recent speech in Thomaston, from which it is clear that a very favorable impression was made ! For the Georgia Telegraph. Stcplien A. Douglas. NUMBER III. I.et us come now to the Kimsns-Xebras Bill, and sec what an endorsement it and i distinguished author received from men of all parties in the Georgia Legislature. In Februa, made by Gen.

Wc were under the impression that Scroggs was dead, personally and politically, and that “ American State Councils” had perished with their illustrious leader and President. Not so. General Gustavus Adolphus Scruggs, re-appear ed on the 23d day of this expiring month of Au gust, in Geneva, in the State of New York, and with him the equally grand and illustrious "A merican State Council” of the Empire State.— Gen. Scroggs took the Chair in all the majesty of life, and the “Council” proceeded to make arrangements for a State nominating Conven tion. A .persevering effort was made to appoint it at Syracuse, the 7 th September, being the same day and place of the Black Republican State Convention, for the purpose of patching up an alliance with the Blackies; but to the credit oi the immortal Gustavus and his Coun cil, the proposition was voted down, and the 21st September fixed upon, which gives the opportunity and benefit of revisory action. E- rastus Brooks and Lorenzo Burrows were then appointed Delegates from the State at large, to “attend the next American National Conven tion.” Our “Opposition” in Georgia, will have a chance to try on that Convention their new doctrine of “Congressional protection” and see how it fits. The British ministerial Organ on THE AMERICAN PROTECTORATE OF MEXICO. Commenting on the Treaty frith Mexico some tiin<.«gr> erroneously stated to have been effect ed by Minister McLane with the Juarez Gov ernment, the London Post, the recognized news- paper organ of the Palmerston Ministiy, under date of the 9th mst., has a very liberal article, in which it favors even the annexation of Mexi co to the United States, on the condition of a guaranty of the payment of the Mexican Na-' tional debt The Post says: “We cannot shut our eyes to the fact that of the foreign debt of Mexico eight millions out ol ten are held by British subjects. If by the convenient and peaceable process which the treaty provides, Mexico is destined to fall under the protection of tbe United States—the first step to virtual annexation—what guarantee will the British holders or the Mexican deM have that tbe doctrine of repudiation will not be dis agreeably and unjustly extended from the North to the far South? On political and social grounds we think that Mexico, as a portion of the Unit ed States, would offer a more safe and valuable field for British commerce than in its present chronic condition of violence, revolution and lawlessness. But her Majesty’s Ministers will neglect the interest of tjie capitalists of this country, and at the same .time admit u». Won- rac-i»uctnne,~ irthey permit the government of the United States to have its own way with re spect to the future political organization of Mex ico.” “We are for the present done with Mr. Speer’s speech. He no doubt (for wo have had personal evidence of the fact) possesses a kind, social disposition, an intelligent mind, and an excellent moral character. We hope his friends will think of these things and not expose so much purity to the corrupt influences that lin ger around and corrode the Representative Hall at Washington.” We are glad to see that CoL Speer maintains abroad, even among his political opponents, a character and reputation he has acquired at home, and his friends rely fully on his ability to sustain them against whatever “corrupt influ ences” public duty may lead him to encounter. They do not hold a high degree of “personal purity” inconsistent with or unbecoming member of Congress; and in fact, the Pilot, who thinks a pure man unfit for Congress, ad mits it to be a disqualification not likely to last long. Now, Mr. Speer’s speech in Thomaston was delivered on the 19th, and Captain Harde man, the Opposition Candidate, spoke in the same place three days after. The same number of the Pilot notices the Captain’s effort very briefly, but urges no such objection against him. He says the speech was “replete with sound sense, noble principles, stubborn facts, biting truths,” and so on—that the audience was large, sober, and did not swear, and the “Brass Band of Bamesvillc” added the fascinations of music to the occasion—but this is all. Capt. Harde man seems to have failed to impress his friend, the Pilot, with any such vivid idea of his per sona] worth, “excellence of character,” and “kind, social disposition," which have hitherto been unquestioned so far as we know. On the contrary, the Pilot impliedly contrasts the two candidates in these particulars to the great dis advantage of Hardeman in a moral aspect lie says that Speer is too good for Congress—too pure, kind, intelligent, social and moral to be exposed to theso corrupt influences whicit will pollute him by contact—but Hardeman, (in ef fect) labors under no such virtuous disqualifi cations. He is just fit to go to Congress in a moral point of view. In justice to Capt Hardeman we are bound to add that this is the first time wc have seen or heard his moral character impeached. In our judgment an action for defamation against the Pilot might be a proper remedy. Philosopher Greeley aud the Mor inons. Having settled the Gold question at Pike’s Peak, wc next hear of Philosopher Greeley at Great Salt Lake City, where he convokes the prophets and apostles of Mormonism, and in terrogates them minutely on their faith and practices. Brigham Young is the principal wit ness, and the questions and answers ail appear seriatim in the Tribune. Nothing new is eli cited, that wc can see, except the precise num ber of Brigluun’s wives, which lias been vari ously stated from seventy downward. Young’s testimony on the subject is as follows: H. G.—How general is polygamy amongyou? B. Y.—I could not say. Some of those pre sent (heads of the church) have each hut one wife; others have more; each determines what is his individual duty. H. G.—What is the largest number of wives belonging to any one man ? the great questions of the day, and from which we mak Abe following extracts: IS A DEMOCRAT. “I am a'democrat of the Old School In r ditics, Iamanoldfogy. An old fogy, because cling devotedly to those primitive principles upon which our government was teuncfol, and under which the Constitution went into opera tion. I have no modem improvements to make on the principles of our fathers.” HAS RENOUNCED KNOW-NOTHCiGISM SINCE 1855. “ I wrote, the other day, to Mr. Flake, an honest German editor at Galveston—tcAo inter rogated me, as he had a right to do, and I teas bound to answer—that ‘since 1855 I had not been connected with the order. It was said to be “dead,” and so I regarded it I knew of no attempt to agitate it, and I had no desire to see it agitated.’ I will say here, that if an attempt were made to revive it, I would oppose it, be cause no good result could lie attained, and there is no necessity for it” HIS EI.AT10RM or PBIXCII-I.es—IS A BUCHANAN MAX, AND EXDORSES U1S ADM1XISTKATI0X. “ My principles you all know. I have ever been opposed to banks—opposed to internal im provements by the General Government—op posed to a distribution of the public lands among the States—opposed to taking power from the hands of the people—opposed to special monop olies—opposed to a protective tariff-—opposed to a latitudinous construction of the Constitu tion-opposed to slavery agitation and disunion. Tiiis is my democracy. Point to a single act of my public career not in keeping with these principles. AA’ill those who are so bitterly op posing me, now come up and compare notes ? Well, Mr. Buchanan became President. He is an honest man. He Is a patriot. He took the reins of government under trying circum stances. Our relations with Great Britain were unsettled. A system of fraud in the perform ance of Government contracts had grown up. These were all entailed upon Mr. Buchanan, and he had to meet them. He has been honest and faithful; and if all the evils have not been remedied, it lias not been from a want of effort on liis part. A'ou did well to make him Presi dent ; and when all the clouds which have gath ered about Us administration are cleared up, you will finiPthat surrounded, as lie has been, by factions which have crippled his administra tion, and by difficulties which were not of his own making, he has acted wisely and as a pat riot.

He has breast- cd the work of ‘squattersovereignty.’ If he lias not fully met the expectations of the country, it Is the fault of Congress.” is orrosED to the re-opesixg of the African SLAVE-TRADE, AND GIVES Ills REASONS FOR IT. “Re-open the African slave trade, and the South will be deluged with liarbarians. Your present stock of negroes would fall in value, and recede in point of intelligence. Not a poor man would lie able to stay in the country, because labor would be so cheap that lie would not bo able to get bread for himself and his family. The labor market would be overdone. The vast army of slaves would be put to work in your cotton fields, and the vast crop would glut the market, beyond all reasonable demand. Prices would fall to four or live cents per pound, and even then, when the demand was supplied, the greater portion of your' crop would lie upon your hands for want of a purchaser. Freights would advance to an enormous price, because every sail that the Yankees could raise—those dear Abolitionist gentlemen, who love the negro so much—would lie engaged in the traffic. Each vessel that could be bought or pressed into the service, would be upon the coast of Africa. It would be more profitable than the carrying trade. Your cotton would lie and rot upon your wharves, or in your gin-houses, liccau.se trans portation will not pay, and rain to your financial interests will be the consequence. If negroes would be cheaper, money would be dearer. It j is easier now to buy a negro at $1,500, than it I was twenty years ago at $500.

Chang.r, The carnival of the stereotyped, parrot cry of Ben Hill, and quacked out lustily—“Squat-tcr Sovereignly—Squat ter Sovereignly—squat-ter Sovereignty"—and in the conclusion of his speech told the people with melting pathos, when going out of this world, his last dying words would be, Squatter Sovereignty- Ben Hill made but little out of this senseless cty in 1857—the people will nail it and AVarren Akin to the Counter in 1859. Hill and Akin are estimable gentlemen and far seeing politicians, and they understand against whom to direct their batteries. They know full well, that Douglas is the incarnation and living soul of Democracy—dec us et tutamen—at once its glory and bulwark. They see, too, all things processioning in solemn pomp, to his nomination at Charleston and triumphant election. They are not mistaken in their mark—they are hurl ing their javelins at the Atlas of Democracy, albeit they fall harmless at its base. AYhat Louis Napoleon is in France, Stephen A. Doug las lias been for ten years in the Democratic camp, ne has led its chivalry to victory in many a hard fought battle. Next year, under his lead, its Old Guard and dauntless Zouaves, wifi meet the Black Republicans at Solferino, and the Democratic Eagles again fly in triumph. Then peace will come. AVhilst the leaders of the Opposition are assail ing Mr. Douglas, perhaps Democrats had better not join the enemy, strengthen their anus and poison their arrows. Democrats might better employ themselves than in such useless pastime. Come, gallant Democrats, change the direction of your guns—and turn them against oppo nents. Come, my courteous friends, “Quitman and Conservative Democrat,” don’t use Demo cratic presses to assail Democrats.' There is Ben Hill, and AVarren Akin, and the gallant Captain Hardeman, all focmcn worthy of your steel—hero Is Knowles with his pop-gun, and Andrews with his battering-ram, attacking the Democratic citadel, and assaulting Stephen A. Douglas. Come, boys, coats off, and at them— don’t fight your friends, for God’s sake. I Ait Douglas alone—Lincoln and the Block Repub licans in Illinois arc after him with a sharp stick—the Black Republicans a.T over the Uni ted States are heating their shot, and sharpen ing their knives, for tho great political battie of Amageddon next year, when Douglas and Sew ard are to marshal opposing hosts. Don’t, my Democratic friends, help tho enemy any longer to ammunition. But to return to the Territorial question. As tho discussion progresses, the evidence in our favor becomes overwhelming. Popular sov ereignty and non-intervention, ’ are not open questions, but established principles. Great men, prophets and apostles, have settled them. Good men, patriots and martyrs, have made them tiic chief comer stones in our political system. I hardly know how to select from the superabundant material at my command to prove my assertion. But here arc some tough old records—not so very old, either—upon which our people should ponder. Records are light-houses, which, if well watched, will keep our barque off the breakers. In the Senate of the United Slates, in 1847, Daniel s.
