We are indebted to Mr. Hollow, Superintend.m of Census, for the proof-sheets of the “Mortality Statistics of the Seventh Census,” so far as they relate t Georgia This census was taken in 1 and shows the population of Georgia to have hern at that time of whom 521 ~’•7..* were whim, "si,o*2 dive-, anil !f ee colored The whole number of deaths for the year was 9,925, or about one per cent, of the population. The mortulitv among the whites was 4,5*0, that of the slaves 5,304, und that of the free colored 41- -showing a much greater ratio of deaths among the colored than the whites. This is in accordance with tie well established fact that in all countries the labot : ng classes sutler greater mortality than others. The mortality from affections of the Respirator / apparatus, comprehended und- r the heads ol asthma, bronchitis, catarrh, consumption, croup, hooping cough, influenza, lung disease, pleurisy and pneumonia', was I,o*':, of whom SSI were white, and 1,155 colored. The negro would, there fore. seem to he much more susceptible to pulm> narv diseases than the white, unless this difference he attributed to the relative degree of exposure of the two races. Upon examining into the mortali ty from the fir east usually termed malarial, (enu merated as bilious, brain, congestive, inflammato ry, intermittent and remittent), we find that the number of deaths was 933, of whom 490 were white, and 44.“ colored, tiius revealing also a great er liability ot the black than of the white to this class of affections, for these numbers, when viewed in connection with ihe relative numbers of each color as indicated by the census, will make one death per l-G-G j white-, and one per >3l vy blacks. The deaths from type - typhoid V i fever were 2-7 whites and 270 colored. While tetanus proved fa tal to hut one white, it carried oft' i_3 blacks ; whereas, . .re destroyed ;i white-and onlv ' blacks. C<t>ieithi"nx were fatal to m 2 white- ami 7.4 blacks.

Ilotvell Cobb. In the debate, in the House of Representatives, in Congress, on the 2‘Jth January, occasioned bv a resolution introduced by the Honorable A. K. Marshall, of Kv., which expressed the opinion, that party nominations had retarded the election of a Speaker, and it was therefore the duty of all parties to withdraw their candidates, the following i cogent and timely remarks were made by the Hon. Howell Cobb: “He said he understood the resolution as read, to announce that the nomination of candidates by the respective parties in the House had precluded an organization, and attributed the want of organiza tion to the fact that these parties had made nomi nations, and therefore sought to make the election of Speaker hereafter free from party nominations The gentleman from Virginia, [Mr. Mill-on.: in . supporting the principle of the resolution, has a— sailed the-Democratic party for the course that it i had pursued in originally making a nomination, ; and at the same time of being guilty of what that gentleman termed the extraordinary proceeding i of giving a reason for the support it gave its 1 candidate. He would support no candidate for any office without having a reason for it, and when that reason ceased to operate, he would withdraw his support. He saw no difference be tween an individual giving a reason for his sup port of a candidate and a party composed of individuals uniting and giving the same rea son. In reference to the course pursued bv the Democratic party, so far as he was concerned as a member of that party, be justified its proceedings at the commencement of the session and subse quently. He sanctioned them then and now. What did that party do? They met together, nom inated a candidate, and announced their principles upon two great leading, controlling, and paramount questions. They adhered to those principles. It was said that the announcement was offensive to gentlemen composing another party, who would, apart from that consideration, have given their support to the nominee of that caucus. Gen tlemen belonging to the democratic party had over and over again on the floor of the House disclaim ed any intention to make the resolution they had adopted offensive to anybody, and in the last nom ination they had made,’whilst they adhered to the principles announced hv their first caucus, they had no intention to make the declaration of those principles offensive to any one or any party. It was the declaration of the principles upon which the party stood ; and in the history of political par ties in this country, it was the first time within Ins knowledge that a party had been condemned for the avowal of its principles. He had heard of par i ties being assailed violently for seeking to withhold their principles, he had heard of parties being at tacked for endeavoring to palm off candidates on tiie country by refusing to make known the princi ples upon which they stood, hut it remained for the present state of things to disclose an assault on a party for having publicly announced its princi ples. The reason which controlled his judgment ! and his action he would frankly and candidly state ;to the House and the country. He regarded the preservation of the organization of the democratic j party as essential to the best interests of thiscoun ! try, and he was unwilling to waive tiiat organtza ; tion by the abandonment or withdrawal of its i principles. In one sentence, then, his position was ; made known : He considered the organization of ; the national democratic party in this country as of more importance than the election of any man as i Speaker of the House, and he believed that the ‘ best interests of the country would suffer if that ! organization was sacrificed in order to obtain tlie \ election of any man as Speaker, lie might he charged with speaking as a party man. He spoke | of this party because of the principles which it | was bound to carry out in the future administration of the government. Those principles had been ; announced by the caucus that nominated Mr. Rich ! ardson, and had been adhered to by the caucus j that nominated Mr. Orr. The offence, then, that the democratic party had committed, was nothing more or less than, having principles, it announced them, and, having principles, it adhered to them.” 'i\ Egraphed to the ,Y< w York Herald. Senator Toombs in Boston. •Since the arrival of the Hon. Robert Toombs, of Georgia, in this city, and his becoming the guest of Hon. William Appleton, as might naturally be supposed, there lias been considerable conversa tional excitement among that class who attend lec tures, in l egat'd to his proposed dissertation upon slavery, or, as the title ts properly, the consistency of African slavery with the Constitution of the L'nited States and republican constitutions, and the 1 effects of the American Revolution upon the Afri can race. There have been speculations of all sorts ; some as to how he would he received on his first appear ance on the platform ; some as to the manner in which he would treat the subject—-whether he would prove plucky to the .Southern, or plastery to the Northern, predilections; and a great many as to which portion of the community would he most largely repiesented' at. the lecture, at the rate of fifty cents per head—the pro-slavery, the abolition ist, or those who don’t care a snap either side, and merely wish to see the lion. Senator. All, however, were agreed that the advent of Mr. Tootubs, coming, as it were, to beard the lion in his den, and that, too, at the said lion’.-special invi tation, was, to use a homely hut appropriate word, “funny;” and as there are enough in Boston who lifte to have fun, no matter of what kind, whether it be in religion, politics or prize fighting, the re sult was, as might he expected, the Tremont Tem ple was crowded to excess. Those, however, who went with the expectation of seeing a disturbance, were disppointed, for with but very slight ex -ej - tions, the dissent from the opinions expressed was manifested by a respectful silence; while through out the lecture there were many passages which received hearty applause. At half past seven Mr. Toombs appeared upon the platform, accompanied by Hon. William Ap pleton, Nathaniel Appleton, Esq., and some of tin committee who have been instrumental in getting up the course of lectures. He was greeted with applause on his entrance, and without any intro duction took the stand for tlie purpose of com mencing his remarks. On doing so, a single hiss i was heard from the centre of the hull, which was quashed immediately by cheers from all parts. But upon the subsiding of the latter, the same snaky demonstration continued. This, however, was soon silenced by Mr. Toombs himself, who, perfectly at home, remarked that it made no differ ence with him. People might chose their own means to express their feelings. Good humor pre vailed, and the speaker proceeded. If is possible (said he) that the majority of the sentiments advanced on this occasion would be op posed to the honest convictions of the most of those present, but he trusted that what might be said would tend in a manner to modify the asperi ty that now prevails between the’ North and South. What he had to say would be expressed with all respect and deference to the opinion- of others, but with firmness and sincerity. The first portion of his lecture was occupied entirely with the history of the Constitution of the United States, and the consideration of the elements which led toils formation, and tlie opinions of the men who contributed to its construction. He maintained that this instrument does not contain one single ar ticle that tended to prohibit shivery, but that, on the contaary, the institution was protected by it, though of course not prompted especially. The right to hold slaves is left to the people of each State by its provisions, and no one State could dic tate to the other what they should do in the mat ter. History tells us that the Constitution was ; formed by the consent of thirteen slaveholding col onies, and at the time when the slave trade was 1 practiced a- a branch of lawful commerce. There were anti-slavery men in those davs as well as now. Mason, of Virginia, Thomas Jefferson, and others equally great, had advocated the abolition of slave ry; but it could not be done. It had been forced upon them by England, and emancipation was morally impossible; and under existing circum stances it was so at the present day. lam not responsible for the Constitution as it’ stands now protecting slavery The South 1- not responsible. It i- vour fathers mv fathers, the founders of this glorious republic, that are responsible They made the Constitution as it is, allowing each State to have its own institutions, to hold slaves or not, us they saw fit. And I think they did wisely. If the Constitution is wrong, endeavor by all 'means to \ change it. If it conflicts with your views as to religion, politics, justice or morality, use vour energies towards making it conform to Vour standard. The speaker asserted that in fact the formation of the Constitution increased the num ber of slaves, and that, too, by the consent of Mas sachusetts and every voter in New England T-.ts was proved by the provision that the slave trade should exist twenty years from the time of its adoption, until 1801, anil that there was an ex tension oj !-■'*. During the time large numbers of slaves were imported, and a rapid increase was the •onsequence: and all this, too, brought about bv Massachusetts votes, and against the protestations of many Southern anti-slavery advocates. Laws made since then by wise statesmen also sustained the views of Mr. Toombs, and an allusion was made to the fugitive slave law. Here there was an interruption by hisses from various pans of the hall, which were taken by the Hon. Senator with the utmost self-possession and coolness. Gvutleiiieu, said he, in an impressive mantier.you may hiss your Constitution if vou wi-li, hut you vlo not now hiss me. Go and put vour curses where they belong, if you choose—upon the fathers of your country. We come here to speak of the Constitution, and there are enough here and in the country to protect it. [Loud applause.] The speaker then alluded to the condition of the >nuth in reference to slavery; the influence, for good or had, which that institution ha* upon it, and the easy control which their government ox eu , °Yer all classes, summing up with the rc <at s ‘nee 17 Mi no Southern State ever had ocw.-.on to call upon au extraordinary power to „ lnsu : rect iom Some North'eri States * ih» MiG^n 110 ' Allusions were then made ■o the Missouri ( ompromisc The law lmd been allowed to exist for years, but the legislation of 1*54 was the step by which the Constitution was brought hack to its true bearings—the recogni tion of the rights of all States to legislate forthem- Tt, VeS v. n rep^ d to their own institutions.— Throughout all the South had acted upon this principle—the true principle of that document, to which every State in the Union is in good faith hound; and it is to he trusted all would soon agree In commencing on the second portion of his lec ure senator Toombs remarked that the topic touched upon would be one which there would be es * probability of himselt and audience agreeing upon than the first, but h e could not help that, i his was the effect of the Revolution, and the pre sent system of Southern slavery upon the African ticuu. The people ot the North draw indirect com parisons in regard to the condition of the negro in the two sections ot the countrv. both as to the ac tton ol the individual in himself, and to the whites comparisons which, when drawn, have never been sanctioned by reason or justice. You sav that all the Mayes should he emancipated immediately, and that no harm can be done by the act, to prove which you etc the condition of vour free colored population. But how would it be if the million of inhabitants ol Massachusetts consisted of five hundred thousand free blacks and five hundred thousand whites ? \\ ould your boated prosperity je as it now, and would not there be some dis position to look after the interests of the African in a i itterent direction front that at present. Your prosperity as a free State, is not that vou are ex empt from slavery ; it is owing to the’ absence of •he race front vour midst. When our country first started, tlie -laves were not fitted for self-govern ment 1 hey might be or might not in the future There are no instances in history that will prove that the African race ever took' the first step to wards self-civilization, but there are multitudes of cases to prove that when once elevated in the hu man scale - being left to themselves—their tenden cy was to fall back into barbarism. The princi ples of our Government are based upon the axiom that democracy is a government of men ; republi canism a government of laws. Massachusetts ; adopted this course at the outset, and so did Geor gia. the laws, therefore, must be the governing I principle ; and negroes were unfit to make laws for j themselves, as experience has shown ; the South j ern whites, having them with them, must make i laws for them. The slavery of the African race has : been existent with their creation. Other races may i have for a time been compelled to bear the yoke, ( but they only are the ones that have always been ! subject to masters. So tar as the South is con j cerned, the slavery institution has made them hap ' P. v ■ So fur as the freedom of the North is con ; cerned, it has made them degraded. The former aud present condition of Hayti and i Jamaica were alluded to in support of the position | ot the speaker, and in remarking upon the free | dom of the negro in the Northern States, he said: | It is true that he is lord of himself and his lieri | tug®. But is it not a heritage of woe, excluded j from all civil rights, with but few exceptions, and | looked upon with contempt almost univesul ? His j history is written upon the records of the jails and j penitentiaries. Mr. Toombs contended that the j South was right in the belief that equality in the : two races is impossible, and therefore restraint was necessary. The laws of the South gave to the | slaves great privileges. Ido not pretend, said he, i that all are granted that should he, hut earnestly hope that soon all that are proper should be allow led ,0 them. 1 say this in Boston—l will sav it in | Georgia. The most enthusiastic applause greeted : this remark. The conclusion <>f the address of Mr. Toombs i was mainly a consideration of the condition of the | South in a commercial point of view, and ho drew a tar more favorable picture of its condition than ; many who pretend that the peculiar institution of • that section ot the I. nited States is dragging it j down to destruction. [The substance was, that thev would be perfectly satisfied to be let alone, as far as that matter was concerned. At the conclusion of the lecture, three cheers—-qualified of course were given for the Senator; and as far as could be judged from the expressions heard in the crowd while leaving the hall, there was a general expres sion of approbation towards the lecturer—not of his opinions, but of his candor and bearing. The audience dispersed quietly, although one man sang | out, before Mr. Toombs left the stand, “How long before (.’has. Sumner can speak in Tallahassee?'' ! Another excited individual in the crowd, cried | “Three cheers for Charles Sumner.” But the re j spouse was like those demonstrations by theschol | ors at 1). -the-Boy-shall, on the return of Mr. ; Sqiteei * "Sighs with the chill on.” A moment after we saw a rank Abolitionist lecturing the I caller, telling him to treat n man decently when | thus invited here to express his honest .opinions. We noticed a large number of colored persons i present, and their behavior was such as might have been well copied by one or two of another I complexion, who were less interested in the sub | ject under discussion.
