By the way, hoWMo gentlemen reconcile such language with iutelligence and refinement ? Such worck may carry with theme a certain suspicious kind of vim ; but we have never dieen able to see liow they strengthened logic, or beautified rhetoric. But to return. It is necessary for us to talk about the speech of Col. Seward, more than @ enough say that it was point ed, olrong and effective—admitted by Judge Love to be*able. lie delivered it with his usual eargesfness vehemence and power; but the Judge having the conclusion upftn followed over tl counteracted much that was said with some well fKrung points, made forcible eliietly by the Colonels former positions upon the questions under consider ation. lt was the opinion of the Breckinridge men present that the Judge useikthe Colohel completely up —and one fellow under the sweet influence of a small brgk in declared that h “ pulled his ’ tail clean out.” This may be very expressive of the idea conveyed to the flllow® mind by the contest ; but if the Judge got no better hold than that, it sub ject him to the suspieiotf that the game escaped while he onlv secured the caudal appendage. Be t? 4 s as it mav* if the Judge had maintained his con s sistefcey throughout, we would have Bonskfcred the contest very stubborn. In several instances how „ever, xvliile declaring the Kansas bill a “client” O , < and a “swindle,” lie would undertake to draw the merits of hi* candidates and those jictine with his* #,. 0 1 party frogt their support of he once supposed to be the Southern constructiomof that nytasure. — it appears to us, it’ the daill uas a “iftuid ” upon the no man couldtbase his nietjts upon the support he bad given it and daim cnsißerati(Si at the hlmds of the Southern people.* for the reason that Ins merits wuld Jjc based upon a fraud , and if lie was so ignorant and dull of com a prehension as nofeto have able to detect a fraud so palpablejohe w ? ojtld not be worthy of tjie name c ft statesman, and therefore not fit for a high and re sposible office. ° Yet this is thß position in which the speech of Judge Love places, ?f w(kuflderslan4 him, every democratic leader of the South ; for evets ; one es theniiodid all in°tlieir power to make tlie Southern people* swallow this “ fraud,” this cheat” and swindle,” anti well did they succeed. • Buchanan* was elected upotbit, byßa very large ffiajovity in tlie South, inspite D os ail the eflurts of tlfb Opposition to convince the people of tiie, truth, lint now Judge Love admits the*truth, and *to our astoni*lynsnt, in this spo§ch, went so I‘Sr as 41 say that he agrcccUwith j his Opposition friends and*Mr. Fillmore tiftit tlie re peal o< tl?e°Missoutl compromise was t?e •“ ra*s Box,” from whence had all tl evils which now afflict* the country.

This is another very important step the Judge ami Jiis party have taken, and we again congrarttlate them upon their rapid progress in the work of Ame ricaifl*ing themselves. “ Almost they to be Cbrirtians.” But one thing isetow lacking.— 1 Let them Any and vote for John Bell, and all will be right. Coming so near up, how ever, to th? Opposition faith as above confessed, q>d j having the dark clouds of deception created by the Kansas bill removed f*om tlibir sky, and discerning® the solid understanding of Mg. Fi?ltnore, it is, and hav : ng the shield of prejudice stricken J'rom their comprehensbm by&the battering-ram pow er of Ben. Hill's logic, they are now able to answer NO ! have no fear of further deception. We can not be cheated and swindled now; we are on the Op position platform. 0 Jhe Opposition had the right plat form and we have got on it. Tubing these things into consideration may we n4 ask why the Judge does not support the Opposi tion candidates? He replies 6 that the c Opposition have abandoned their (this) platform, and now have no platform, having :ulopted the “Constitution, the Union and the Enforcynent of the Laws.” a “gene ral” thing, upon which, lie said in his speech, “eve- e rgbody could sts.ml.” JiVliat a confession this is. Let every man remember it. This is the very-gplatform tfie feople of tliis country bave long desired, for the tlieir sectional difficulties. They been annoyed, tortured, @ and distracted by sectional platforms, until their patience is exhausted, their peace and harmony destroyed, and their country brought to the brink of ruin. Platforms have been for the Constitution, and their principles enforced rather than the laws the land, until tftey have usurped the supremacy, bound the people hand and foot, loosened and given full rein to demagogues and fi and the consuming fires strip ped of their power, robbed of institutions, and their houses left unto them desolate. Their fathers who fought and shed their best blood*for the country as an inheritance for their children, gave them only tie Constitution, the l nion and the Laws, for a plat form; they had lived tinder them peaceably and happily themselves, and found them all-sufficient. They lacked nothing. They needed no other plat form, and were not chargrtl svifh “ dodging ” the is sues made by their enemies because they adopted none otAer. They did not make platforms to fight upon—they fought upon the Constitution and the i people of fttis I niop will and are fighting upon the Constitution to day. The coming election \vilP/ rore tiieir loyalty to the Constititfion and the Jfgftn amfc convince agitators everywhere, that the °Amevican pei jile are yet capable of%eing aroftsed to a sense ot duty, and that they have t#ie power to n&iintain tiieir rights and the giant°agents of cor ruption, who now revel thpir estates and iut'use into their veins the poison of mad fanaticisfft ?ind rebellion P ® # Having already Continued these remarks to too great length for our time <yid spac?, wf will°notice but one other point in.

Much foe mains to be said of it, for the ‘"whole speech is capa ble of d&section and total demolitioif, b#t it is im possible for ifs to connectedly, for t lie reo-on that it was not so delivered; and if it had been, our 1 * , * , , *. memory, perhaps, is not capable ot reproducing even all we deemed The point we have just alluded to,°however, it can be called,* was the avowed object an l attempt of Jt!ge Love to prove Edward Everett “do be no better than Abe.

Having j boldly committed his fortune to#the waves, be is ! doubtless prepared for storms and tempests, and if I they are fiercer than bis political barometer indi cated, of course he will bear, if not patiently, wi#h their supvradded violence.

A (art. LaGrange, Ga., Aug. 11, tBCO. ° Mr. Editor:—Since June, 1 been alffios? constantly absent from home. On my return, 1 find y quite a number of letters from our friends in Tcnne see, Alabama Gijm-gia, urgiidt; me to visit them, and address®!lie people on the issues of this canvass. It is not possiWe for me to comply with these de mands it would be quite a labor to answer all t[ie letters. t T ill ask you to publish this trust our papers will copy it, and that it will be received by all our friends as an answer to their letters. During the my health was such that my professional business was not attended to? 1 cannot ask* further delay, and duty, as well, as contract and good faff'll, demand tent ion, in the court krooni. It is exceedingly doubtful whether l ought to undertake any additional labors, is for this rea son. 1 announced in the Macon speech, that 1 must be allowed direct my own actions in life present [•canvass. IN hat can be done wfll assuredly be done. Would I could do aiore. Every honorable effoit to promote the election of Bdl a nib Ev#rett, is an act sos patriotism and a discharge of duty. NcvetJ in o [ our cotuitry’s history, have.we so imperatively need ed the guidance of such men; and never, at any time has a ticket been present Pit to our people com bining more honesty, patriotism, and welt tried ex perience and ability. Their election will be an hon yr, not to them, but to the country. Ejjery man who votes for them, honors hifbself, vindicates hi* • • i • 7 # , | own patriotism and intelligence, and performs a I positive service to his country, to posterity and t<? Constitutional Libcrtv ! 0 * o o 1 understand several gentlemen O havo made an at- < tempt to review the humble°speech which 1 made at Macon. 1 have seunjtat one review, and thus is a t>pamphlet of sixteen puggs, signed “Constitution aiM Equality.” „ 1 have no purpose to answer this pani | phlet. It is not necessary, „ 1 will*niifke a corrcc i lion, and make a suggestion in kindness to tlfe au thor. 0% page o, the writer says f did not quote ; the whole of the °Dav!* atnflndnrent. lie is simply> mistaken.

Perhaps they did not understand it! It •may he that this writer can ®o understand it, even as asserting Con gressional pintcetioti, if he will consider four plain propositions : * * . . •1. lu framing tli® Utah and New Mexico bins, Congresss b as inferring on its aggnt —the Tcft itori al Legislating—the legislative powersAvhich Con gre|s itself would otluawise exercise in the govern-* ment of the Territories. ~ 2. In doing this. Congress declared that the legis lative said territories shall extend to all rightful subjects of legislation consistent with the Constitt^tion and theuorganic act. •1. Lest ftiis might be ewi.-frued rf as conferring the power to establish or prohibit. Mr. sßcrrien offered his amendment declaring that it should not lye so construed. v , 4. I#st this amendment of MrAßcrrien misfit be “construed as prohibiting the Terui®irial Legislatures fro i® tegisipi ing ai all on slavery* Mr. DaviW amend inicgt was offered declaring that nothing in the Act should be so construed as to prP'cnt. the ‘territorial Legislature from passing suFli laws as might be ne ’ cetsary to protect All property. All who voted for these“auietidments ttius declared that Congress co*ld not confer°f#ie ]*>wer®o establish prohibit slavery, ns Congress dul not have that power to*confcr, but that Congress could confer the I>*we® to pro Pct because Congress aid bare tb.rt pow er to conicr. And so John Bell and John M. Berrien bolt?voted. 9 o * a ® Reviewer rather contplairfs that.*l did not insert I the word “ unpair ” in a certain connection. Well, 1 did recite® that his platf®rm asserted tit® eftity to protect, a nit l do®mppose “that, every man woufd sc® that this denies Jhe right to impair !

Precisely- such mqp have brqpght the country to its present troubles, and precisely such will carry n on to destruction, unless the people will honor thempires and overthrow deception and cor- j ruption in the election of just such nffcn as°John Bell and Edward Everett. 0 It the people were led to endorse fh<?Kansas bill, and towbuse diflin Bell and drive him fronPthe gen ate, because he told them the Kansas bill was a de ception and a disturber of the public peace; and if Ohe men who l£!l the people to endorse the Kan sas bill, and repudiate,Jdr.
