Faymonts from tho Stato X2oad—Apolo
gios due.
The Southern Recorder of yesterday learns
that the Statu Road has paid into the Treasury
forty thousand dollars for the month of June.
In view of tho steady monthly recurrence of
ihese interesting and creditable facts, wo arc
bound to suppose those of the Opposition press
who asserted that the first payments of this
magnitude made last summer wore mere catch
jwnny tricks of the Governor to affect the elec
tion and would.cease after it; we say. we arc
bound to supjiose that as candid and honorable
prints they will feel under obligations to retract
what they then said to the discredit of Gover
nor Brown’s motive* and make a satisfactory
apology. Her* is* fine chance for them to do
the handsome thing , by the Governor, and a-
mend their own reputation for fair dealing. The

no news stirring; ft seems to us they will take

"GIVE US THE VOTE”
For the first time in several years our Oppo
sition friends manifest a passion for lead pen
cils and figuring. They are stufTed with the
notion that they will run right through the
Southern States in the democratic fissure—in
fact that the crack will open wide enough to
pass them dry-footed through the red sea of a
popular majority against them. Some of them,
not having the figures at hand, have sent a re
quest that we should publish in the Dally, the
popular vote of the Southern States at the last
Presidential election. Here they have it ac

THE DOUGLAS AND JOHNSON ADDRESS.
At the request of tho Committee and in ac
cordance, too, with' the liberal policy wo have
ever pursued in the Telegraph, wc publish to
day the Address of the Douglas ancJL Johnson
Committee. IVc have read but a small portion
of it—the remainder being in the bands of com
posers and proof readers. • In so much, the
Committee appear to struggle for the position
of regularity. It is all in vain. Regularity
went to the dogs with tho first secession, and
crery subsequent step only made confrision
worse confounded. Vr c may have regularity
once more when all parties to the strife shall
be made willing, “through suffering,” to rub
out and begin again—meanwhile it is incum
bent on every democrat to follow his best judg
ment in the selection and support of the nom
inees before him.

“STRENGTHOF BRECKINRIDGE.”
Under tills bead tho Chronicle and Sentinel
has made an experiment on public credulity o*
the most reckless character we have seen yet
It states that there are but thirty-two Brnckcn-
ridge men in Richmond, seven in Columbia,
none in Lincoln, Frankliu is almost unanimous
for Douglas and Johnson, and tlic same is true
of Hall and Habersham counties. Such prepos
terous statements as these serve to show what
value should be attached to its boasts of the
strength of the Bell and Everett ticket. They
seriously impair the reputation of tlic newspa
per press for candor and sincerity.
At tho Convention which first assembled in
Charleston a majority of the delegates from eight
Southern States, Georgia amongst the number,
withdrew on account of the failure or refusal of
that Convention to adopt resolutions affirming
the doctrine of Congressional intervention for
the protection of slavery in tbe Territories—
the Convention in lieu thereof, simply adopting
and re-affinning tho platform made at Cincin
nati in 1859, which declared that nOH-iHierfer-
enee with slavery, by Congress in tho States,
and Territories and District of Columbia, was the
only sound and constitutional basis upon which
tbe people of all portions of the Confcdoracy
eoul J repose in safety in the Union. These seced
ing delegates immediately organized a meeting
and called aConvcntion to tie held at Richmond in
Virginia ou tlie 11th of June and.rcqucstcd all
the States who agreed with them in tlioir de
mand for Congressional protection to appoint
delegates. Upon this secession the National Con
vention, after ballotting about 57 times for a
President without making a nomination under
the two thirds rule, adjourned to meet in Balti-
timoraon the 18th of June and requested the
States where vacancies had occurred to fill up
their delegations. In this condition of affiiirs
the Executive Committee of the Democratic par
ty of Gcorgiacallcd a convention to be held at
Milledgeville on the 4th of June to determine
upon Uie best course to pursue in the emergency.
In the meantime tho seceding delegates from this
State published an address to the people, set
ting forth the cause which . had induced them
to withdraw from the conventional Charleston,
tyit proposing and recommending that delegates
be sent to Richmond and Baltimore both—slat
ing as a reason for this recommendation that
tbe question of platform was still open and that
one might still be agreed upon that would be
acceptable to the parly. It is proper here to re
mark, that the delegates from no State in the
Union were instructed to Remand and insist up
on as an ultimatum tlic affirmative protection
by Congressional Legislation, of slavery in the
Territories, except those from the State of Ala
bama. Georgia certainly made no such demand
and gave no such instructions to her delegates.
In compliance with the call of the Executive
Committee, the‘State Convention assembled
at Milledgeville on the 4th of June, and by a
very large majority approved of and endorsed
tlic action of the ’seccifihg delegates, and re
appointed the same to Richmond and Balti
more, with instructions to make tho same de
mand again of the Baltimore Convention;' and
in the event that that Convention refused to
accede to this demand, to withdraw and unite
in action witli the Richmond Convention. A
jortion of the delegates at Milledgeville, believ-
ngtliatby thus endorsing'the action of the
Charleston See oilers and appointing delegates
to Kichmofid, that the Convention had aban
doned tlio 'National Democratic party and had
rights, the honor, and safety of the South.—

Tbe nominee of the Democratic I'arty for
President, Stephen A. Douglas, the brilliant
and renowned Senator from Illinois, is a states
man whose namo and fame has a world-wide
reputation. TVe need not detain von. long in
presenting his claims to your confidence and
support. Of humble origin, with a determined
spirit, he soon over-leaped the difficulties and
obstacles of youthful indigence and obscurity,
and by his talents, integrity and courage,

ablest of American statesmen and orators.—
Entering the National Councils seventeen years

battle-fields than any statesman of the ago. Let
the triumph of your cause in tbe annexation
of Texas—the Mexican war—tho defeat of the

striction, and the establishment of Slavery in
New Mexico, bear testimony to the fidelity and
services of the distinguished statesman of the
North TVcst; in behalf of Southern policy and
institutions, and of bis successful vindication
of your equality amongst the States of tlic Con
federacy. And where is the statesman, North
or South, who has through all time, stood more

large assembly, in an argumentative and ani-
mated speech; addresses were also made hv
Col. Alex. M. Speer, of Bibb, and Col. A. D.
Hammond, of Monroe—all of the speakers were
listened to with' much attention. They con
tended that the present contest involved a sin
gle issue—“The equality of tlic States.” That
the people of the South claim to be the equals
in every respect of tho people in every other
section'of the Union. They demand for them
selves and their posterity, tho same protection
which a common constitution guarantees to
tbe people and tbe property of the Nortli.—
That the Supremo Court of the United States
in the Dred Scott case had decided that the
constitution recognizes slaves as property, and
that under the constitution, the slave-holder
lias the same right to go with Iris property into
the common Territories of the Union, that any
other citizen has to go there with his property,
and when there he is entitled to the same pro
tection for In's slavo property, that other citi
zens claim and receive for their property. That
this is equality—nothing more, nothing less.
That the Southern man that demands more is
unreasonable—and tho Southern man who is
content with less, voluntarily submits to a con
dition of inferiority; revolting to our pride as
men, and subversive of our rights as equals
under a common constitution.

BRECKINRIDGE MASS MEETING IN BAL
TIMORE.
Tlio Baltimore Republican of Saturday has
the proceedings of a Breckinridge and Dine rat
ification meeting in Monumental square which
numbered 10,000 persons. The speakers were
Humphrey Marshall of Kentucky, Gov. Love,
of Maryland and Ex-Senator Wigfall, of Texas.
Louisiana Bell and Everett Convention-
This body met in Baton Rouge on the 4th
instant, to nominate an Electoral Ticket. The
Bulletin is lost for language to express its ecs-
tacics over the result. The Convention sur
passed in numbers and appearances of Its
members, any thing ever seen in Louisiana be
fore, and although all came with highly wrought
expectations, the reality far outstriped them.
The Bulletin winds up His narrative of follows:
""The closing address of President Ilunt was
very much like that of Mr. Oliver's. He was
almost inspired. His heart struggled up out of
his mouth, and* tlic Convention adjourned in
one of those tornadoes of wild and jrrcprossible
excitements which occur but rarely, and which
must be witnessed to be appreciated.
The morning breaks brightly and gloriously,
and Louisiana sends an enthusiastic greeting to
her sister States in the cause which has taken
so profound a hold upon the minds of the con
servative masses of the Union, and wfiicli «n-
gurs well for one of the most brilliant political
and national victories ever achieved in this
country.” _ _ _
An Oration by Hon. Edward Everett.
Mr; Everett delivered u> oration on the 4th
instant before the municipal authorities of Bos
ton, in which he combatted at length the vati
cinations of Earl Grey in the Britishf House of
Lords about the premature corruption, decay
and fall of Republicanism in-America; dedu
cing from onr alleged unfortunate experience
an argument against the extension of suffrage
in tile United Kingdom. Mr. Everett cxult-
ingly points out the vast material, intellectual
and'moral triumphs already accomplished un
der our freo .suffrage system, .and institutes a
successful comparison between this country
and England in the purity and integrity of gUr
public administrations. The oration is eleva
ted in its tone, clear in its statements, and of
course very smooth and classical in style,
But to whatever extent Earl Grey nmy have
erred in his estimate of the effect of universal
suffrage upon Republican America, it strikes
us lie could not bo far wrong in his apprehen
sion of its probable results upon the British
Constitution. Free suffrage and an hereditary
monarchy, sustained by privileged classes, are
as incompatible as fire and water.

A trial is soon to be mode of the yroutess of

the propulsive energies of steam to sink her

to be tried against the shin of tho line Monte

villc from oilier counties who had not partici
pated in the.Convcnlion called by the Execu
tive Committee, and with citizens in attendance
at Milledgeville from various portions of the
State, organized a Democratic Convention and
appointed the undersigned delegates direct to
Baltimore to represent the State in that Con
vention. AVo proceeded to Baltimore and were
there met by the other delegation, claiming
seats in tiiat Convention, and contesting and
denying our right to scats. There was a sim
ilar contest for scats by delegations from Ala
bama and Louisiana. The National delegates
from these two latter States were admitted, to
the exclusion of the Seceders. But the Sece
ding delegation from Georgia was declared to
be entitled to scats, and wc Were rejected. The
vote upon this proposition was carried against
us by the New York delegation, who, in the
case of Georgia, dunged its position and voted
for the Seceders. There were .various reasons
assigned for this rh»»*g«, but it is enough for
pur present purpose to- state and leave
you to draw your own Yon cl visions. -
After thus claiming and insisting upon seats
in the Convention, and after being thus admit
ted, the delegation refused to take their Seats,
and thus was Georgia left unrepresented, and
had no voice or vote in the ddiherntions and
action of that body. This refusal to take their
scats, we understand was predicated upon tho
action and decision of the Convention in rela
tion to the, eon tested seats from Alabama and
Louisiana, and perhaps other' States—as if the
Convention and not the contestants were not to
judge and to determine as to rights of persons
claiming to be delegates, aud as if the decision
of the Convention as to contested seats from
oflier States, were a-snflieient ground for our
delegates to abandon the position assigned fo
them ami to leave the State unrepresented.
Upon the same pretext all the other seceding
delegations wlio had been received, together
with a majorify of the delegates from A'irginia,
their slave-labor, and your oppressors and plun
derers bare ever met in Mr. Douglas a foeman
whom they luted because they feared. And
his bitterest enemies and fiercest assailants,
are now found amongst the coal and iron mi
ners of Pennsylvania—tho spinning capitalists
of Massachusetts, and the advocates of a high
Protective Tariff everywhere. Sludl ours be
the hand to strike down the friend of Southern
labor, and the champion of Free Trade ?-
But it is charged against Mr. Douglas, that
Kentucky; Tennessee and North Carolina, and did not the South acquiesce in the rejection of
a portion of Hie delegates from Vermont; Mas- Kansas and the passage of the English Bill, re
strong assault on Douglas and a vindication of
the Breckinridge and Lane nomination. The

Breckinridge and Lane ratification meeting was
to beheld in Norfolk on tlic 2d instant, in
w hich tbe gallant AVise would lead off in a that it meets our approval, and chiulungcs di6-
sachusctts,-Minnesota, Maryland and Arkan
sas, and perhaps Other States withdrew, and
uniting with the rejected seceding delegates
from Alabama, Louisiana, and a delegation
from Florida organized another Convention—
adopted the resolutions, the substance of which
we have nbovc stated, and nomin&tcd for Pres
ident John C. Breckinridge, of Kentucky, and
for Vjcc President; Joseph Laiie, of Oregon.
Tims was the'Convention which nominated
these gentlemen formed—tho seceders consis
ted of about one third of the original Conven
tion—it pict and organized without authority
—no delegates had ever been appointed to such
a convention, and the gentlemen .who assem
bled at The Mary land Institute and made the
above nominations, met as individuals and not
as tbe representatives of States or of a party.
After this withdrawal, there Was left in the
Convention about 195 votes, audit proceeded
to ballot for a President; upon the second bal
lot, Mr. Douglas received nearly every vote,
and was declared duly nominated. Mr. Fitz-
jatrick was nominated for Vice President, but
ic refusing to accept, the Ilya. Hcrschcl Y.
Johnson, of Goorgia, was nominated in.liis
[ilace. The question of platform was then ta-
ten up, aud the following resolution adopted in
addition to the Cincinnati platform, which had
been before adopted at Charleston, viz:
Retoltei, That it is in accordance with the
true interpretation of the Cincinnati platform,
that during tho existence of the Territorial Go
vernment, the measure of restrictionjwhatovcr
it may lie, imposed by the Federal Constitu
tion on the power of-thc Territorial Legislature
over the subject of the domestic relations, as
the same has been or shall hereafter bo finally 1
determined by the Supremo Court of the Uni
ted States, should be respected by all good citi
zens, and enforced with promptness and fideli
ty by every branch of the General Government.
The Convention then adjourned. , ;
And thus, fellow-citizens, you have the Ac
tion of the Convention^—its Platform of princi
ples and its Candidates. And is there any thing
in the action, platform, or candidates of the
National Democratic Convention at Baltimore,
which justifies tbe fierce and relentless a snubs
which have been made upon them J AVliich will
justify tlic .dismemberment of a great National
Party’ which, for more than thirty years has
shaped the policy and guided the government
of the nation—which, has preserved and main
tained gt home, the constitutional rights of eve
ry American citizen,- and abroad, has borne in
honor and' triumph and glory; the. American
Flag?
Or the Actios of the Convention, wc have
already sufficiently spoken, and that action we
submit, was in all material respects, fair, iust,
anil unexceptionable, at least,_ toworeL those
who are loudest in tUeircomplaints and denun

Ambitious! why then did he not join one or
tbe other of the' two great parties, which has
been so fiercely assailing him for the last two
years ? One the party of power In the North
—the other the party- of power in the South,
and with the power nnd patronage of the Fed
eral. Administration to uphold it everywhere,
liis talents and courage would have placed
him at thehcad of either of these organizations,
and if lie had been influenced alone by a pas
sion for power and - position, such would luive'
been his course. But standing almost solitary
and alone, amidst the fury of a Northern storm,
and tho blasts of a Southern tempest, he lias
manfullvand heroically metlhe shock of battle-
ing; and stand upon Prixcifle—upon tho prin
ciple of non-intervcntion'with slavery by Con-
gress, and.tlio equality of all sections nnd all

men to pass upon the issues between him and
his opponents,' and fearlessly invokes their
judgment in vindication of his motive, aud pa
tiently awaits their verdict in behalf of Justice,
Truth, and the Constitution. -
’Tis true, that Mr. Douglas did vote against
the admission of Kansas under the Lccompton
Constitution; but was that vote in consequence
j>f the-recognltion arid cxist(xi?e of slavery in
that Constitution ? Do we-not all know tiiat
Mr. Douglas, and other Senators from Southern
States, voted agaiust tiiat Constitution, upon
tbe ground, as they alleged,- of irregularity,
fraud and violence, in procuring its adoption;
and Mr. Douglas especially, upon the other nnd
more important ground, that that Constitution
was not submitted to the people of the Territo
ry for ratification, as Mr. Buchanan and Gov,
AVnlkcr liad promised, them it should be. And
Indiana, Illinois ami New Jersey, unite on one
electoral ticket in e.icii of those States it may be
ferring liiick tin- Constitution to the people;
in fact the English bill received every vote in
tlic House of Representatives from the South,
except two, Uen. Quitman, of Mississippi, and
Gen. Bonham, of South Carolina ? And was
there any call for a Convention of the people
of Georgia, as had been provided for by law, in
the event that Kansas was rejected on account
of the recognition of slavery in her Constitu
tion? None! Neither was there any com
plaint against the Executive for not calling
that Convention. Besides the result of the
vote had upon the Constitution, under the
English bill, demonstrated that an overwhelm
ing majority of the people of Kansas were op
posed to that Constitution. Under these cir
cumstances, are wc justified in denouncing Mr.
Douglas for -that vote, and ascribing to him
base and selfish and ambitious motives for liis
action on that occasion, in tbe face of his clear
and unequivocal declarations to the contrary ?
Besides, fellow-citizens, we forget that Mr.
Douglas only a short time before, probably at
tho’ session of Congress immediately preced
ing, upon tho presentation of the Topeka Frcc-
soil Constitution, denounced and opposed it,
and made an able report as chairman of the
Territorial Committee in the Senate, against
the admission of Knnsas as xfree State under
that Constitution—that he sent that horde of
Abolition traitors howling back with their
loud and deep imprecations upon his head, for
exposing and defeating their treason and con
spiracy.
Fellow citizens, are could $ay much more to

upon our rights and institutions. AA'o are di

Resolved, That we thcrcforo-woncur in the
resolutions passed by the Opposition Party Of
Georgia in May last, and hereby ratify and
agree to the following platform of principles
adopted by the National Democratic. Party at
Baltimore.
Resolved, That the Platform adopted by the
democratic-party at Cincinnati be affirmed,
with the following explanatory resolutions:
1st, Tiiat tlic government of a Territory or
ganized tiy an act of Congress is provisional
and temporary, and during its existence all
citizens of the United States have an equal
right to settle with their property ina Territo
ry without thetr rights,either of person or prop-
ty, being destroyed or impaired by congres
sional or territorial legislation.
2d. That it is the duty of the Federal Gov
ernment, in all its departments, to protect when
necessary, tlic rights of persons and property
in the Territories, and wherever else its consti-
titutional authority extends.
8iL That when settlers in a Territory having
an adequate population form a State constitu
tion, the rights of sovereignty commence;- and
being consummated by an'-admission into the
Union, they stand oii equal footing with the
people of other States; and tiiat a State thus
organized ought to be admitted into the Feder
al Union, whether its constitution, prohibits op
recognises tho institution of slavery. ;
•ltti, That the deTnocralfc party, \-iry in tavor
of the acquisition of the island of Cuba, on
such terms as shall he lionprablc.to ourst-lves

moment. - *
5th. Tiiat the enactments of State Legisla
tures to defeat the faithful execution' of the Fu

versive of the Constitution, and revolutionary
indheir effect
(Jth,- That tlic -Democracy of the United
States recognizes It as an imperative duty of
this Government to protect naturalized citizens
in all their rights, whether at home or in for
eign lands, to the same extent as its native-born
citizens. * '*
And 1 yirerens. One of tlio greatest necessities
of the age, in a political commercial,' postal,
and military point- of vieft, is a speedy com

coasts: Therefore, be it,

river to the Pacific ocean, at the earliest prac

POLITICS IN AUGUSTA.
The Douglas nnd Johnson ratification meet
ing was held AVednesday evening, and the
Chronicle A Sentinel says it was large, andnltO-
getiiercnthiisinstie and harmonious. The follow
ing delegates were appointed to the Milledgeville
Convention, fully empowered to act ns events
may dictate at their assembling: Geo. AV. La
mar, tho chairman, AV. II. Pritchard, M. II.
Talbot, Isaac L. Toole, A. C. AValkcr, Dr. Thos.
B. Phinizy, L. D. Lallerstcd, C. Snead, Janies
Gardner, Joseph McCormick, and A. Black.
A resolution was passed, recommending that
the Executive Committee postpone the assem
bling of the Convention, from tlio-24th July
to some day in August, so as to give ample
time for all the counties to appoint their dele
gates.
The Bell and Everett meeting on the 10th,
contained, by the same authority, ‘‘quite a
goodly number,” from which we infer it was
small. It was addressed by Col. Millcdge and
lion. Thos. AV. Miller.
CHANGING THEIR TUNE.
Those lovely organs the Savannah Republi
can and tho Chronicle & Sentinel are very busy
now turning the Douglas mill. The Republi
can is full of tho “rising Douglas stock.” The
Chronicle says tire “democrats arc'bcginningto
feel that the fight against the little giant is
purely personal, and that the party has wilfully
broken its own back bone,” and so forth and so
on. AA'hat’s become note of the “glorious seee-
ders” and the “little knot of Douglas traitors ?’
MAYOR AA r OOD’S MANIFESTO.
Mayor AVood’s manifesto appear* in the New
York papers of the 7th. It is addressed to
John J. A’an Allen, Esq., of Schuyler County,
and after deploring the humiliating attitude in
which the Democracy now stand, and express
ing bis entire sympathy in principle ryith the
Breckinridge men. he declares his conviction
that if the respective friends of Douglas and
Breckinridge place distinct tickets in the field
in every State, Lincoln will be elected. In this
contingency he proposes that a Douglas ticket
shall be run exclusively in the Northerii and
AVcstcrn States, and a Breckinridge', ticket in
the South, which will insure the defeat of Lin
coln, when the Democratic Electors can either
agree upon one of their nominees, or upon
some other man—thus keeping the. National
Government in the hands of the Democracy,
and retrieving their position in the State of
New York. In accordance with his convic
tions of duty in tlu's respect, Mr. AVbod an
nounces his intention of supporting Douglas.
LINCOLN’S ABOLITIONISM.
The papers publish a letter written by “hon
est Abe” the Cth day of April, in response to an
invitation to participate in‘a celebration of the
birth day of Thomas Jefferson by the “repub
licans of Boston.”- The letter is a distinct
avowal of radical abolitionism as unqualified as
that of Garrison himself. Read tire following:
The principles of Jefferson arc the definitions
and axioms of frees society. And yet they- are
denied and evaded, with no small show of.suc-
effis. One dashingly calls them “glittering gen
eralities”. Another bluntly styles them “self-
evident lies.” . And others insiduously argue
that they apply Only to “superior races. ” Theso
expressi0ns, JiBering m form, Ire identical in ob
ject and effect—the supplanting the principles
of free government, and restoring those of class
ification, caste, and legitimacy. They would
delight a convocation of crowned beads plotting
against the people. . They arc the vanguard, the
sappers and miners, of returning despotism.—
AVo must .repulse them, or they will subjugate
' This is a world of compensation, and lio who
would be no slave must consent to have no slave.
Those who deny freedom to others, deServc it
not for themselves; and, under a just God, can
not long-retain it.'

Philadelphia Ratification Sleeting——A
Story by “ Old Joe*’’
At the ratification of Breckinridge and Lane
in Philadelphia. Gen. Lane was called out and
spoke very briefly of the aspects and issues of
the canvas and the Ticket be represented. In
course of his remarks^ lie gave the following
personal reminiscncc:
As to myself, I cannot speak of that gentle
man much, and I imagine that I can illustrate
now, if you will allow mo to tell a little anec
dote and then I ’ will quit talking:—I have fol
lowed all honest vocations of life, and among
other things I worked in the mines of Califor
nia in 185<>, and dug gold for eleven montlis.—
I dug out with these hands, $G,000 that I took
home. (A Ydice—“ Good for you.”) AVhilo I
was out there digging Gold I went out “ pros
pecting” one day, for I wasn’t satisfied with dig
ging $25 worth a day; I wanted better diggings
(Laughter.) I went out to hunt—to "prospect,”
ns we call it—and I met a very clever German,
who hail been “prospecting” also. I had never
seen him before, nor be me. “ AVell,’’ sakl I,
“how do you get on to day ? AA’hat luck have
you prospecting?" “Not very good,” said he.
‘ITow are j-ott doing?” Itoid him I had not done
much. “AVell,” said he, “where arc you from ?”
“Oregon,”saidI. “Oregon?” “A'es!” “What
sort of country is tiiat?" said he. AVell, I told
him that it was a good country. Then lie asked
about Gen. lame. Says lie, “Do you know
Gen. J.ane ?—he’s a damn fine fellow.',’ (Laugh-1'
ter.) 1 give it to yon in Ids own language.— j
The Louisville Democrat proposed a bet of
$5000 that Kentucky would not go for Breckin
ridge. It was.promptly taken.
Rumors Corrected.—The. New York .papers
say it is a canard'that Crittenden has declared
for Breckinridge or that any of the New York
delegation'to Baltimore arq “out” for him.

Tiie Constitution Sold.—So reads tho Tel
egram, and we have been fearing that what
with black republican treason and democratic
schism, the Constitution and the people would
find themselves badly sold one of these days.
In this case, however, the sale only affects a

Ex President Ti leil—Ex-President Tyler
has turned fire-eater in his declining years. 11c
has declared, through the press, that he is for
disunion In. the event of the election of cither
Mr. Bell, or Mr. Lincoln, to Mr. Douglas to the
Presidency, and that in cither case he will fight
for a funeral! Ho is particularly fierco against
Mr. Bell.
Ex-Governor Cuas. J. McDonald.—This
distinguished gentleman was in the city yes
terday, and though his health is still feeble,
wc are glad to sec him look so well. Political

his efforts in supporting them. lie considers

Farewell Serenade*
Adieu! fhir girls, a season long
Must pass, ere we again
* .Can greet you thus, with cheerful song,
Or breathe a sadder strain.
With Music's soft bewitching power,
Wo olt have tried to charm,
At midnight's calm and magic hour.
When hearts were beating warm..
And when the still small hours began
To pass with noiseless tread—
When zephyrs soft your brows did fan,
We've waked you from your rest,
