be strife amongst ourselves * From pres
ent indications the ensuing -contest is go
ing to be one of tho most fritter exciting
ones through which the State has ever
passed. We hear a great deal said about
the South uniting. She never was, in our
•pinion further from it than she is at this
day—'not so much upon political Issues as
upon Presidential candidates. The South
should have been united in this contest,
not upon an impracticable issue, but upon
I movement that would have led to practi
cal results—the election of a President.—
How could this have been most successful
ly accomplished * Not by splitting up the
democratic party, which had the ascen
dancy in all the Souths™ States, but by
i union with the conservative men of the
North, who have ever battled for our
rights. Were the seccders disposed to do
this* We think not. Their policy seem
ed to be rule or ruin. They ware deter
mined to defeat Judge Douglas at all haz
ards, let tho consequences to the country

tled in a free State all his life for the rights
of the South, with a boldness and ability
that extorted admiration from his most
bitter enemies. A man who is largely in
terested in the Institutions of the South,
and who, if elected would have i very con
stitutional right to which the 8outh is en
titled, carried out with a fearlessness char
acteristic of the administration of Geueral
Jackson. But a few Presidential aspirants
and disunionists, instead of appreciating
his manly defenco of our institutions and
Constitutional right*, have endeavored to
poison the Southern mind against him,
and work upon soetional prejudices to de-
fat him. They have not only done this,
but carried their intolerance so far as to
hang in effigy at Macon, the candidate on
tha ticket with him for Vice President.—
Gov. Johnson, one of the purest men and
brightest intellects in the State, waa great
ly intuited and hung in effigy because, he,
like a freeman, dared express his opinions.
And whatever else may be said of Gov.
Johnson, nono will dare charge him with
uttering sentiments other than those he
honestly entertains. It is with deep re
gret that we seo this intollerant spirit
manifested ao early in the campaign. If
this is the commencement, what will be
the end ? The questions in issue effect

Conventions.
The vear of 1860 will be remembered as
the era of Political Conventions. There
are to be three more • conventions held in
*hia State soon. The Convention of the
National (Douglas) democrats is to be held
at Milledgevilla on the 24th inst., to nom
inate candidates for Presidential electors.
The Breckinridge democrats hold a Con
vention fer the same purpose on the 8th
of August, and the Boll men hold their
Convention on the 13th of August. The
Democratic (Douglas) meeting of Rich
mond county recommend the Executive
Committee to postpone holding their Con
vention until some time in August in or
der to give the counties mors time to ap
point delegates. We presume this sug

Mayor Wood.
The Hon. Fernando Wood is out in a
tetter, in which he appeals to all parties
in New York opposed to the Republicans
to unite upon -Douglas as the only way in
which Lincoln can be defeated in that
State. He sirs that in New York, Mr.
Douglas has a large preponderance of tho
democratic vote. Mayor Wood is one of
the ablest and most zealous defenders of
the right* of the South to be found in the
North. H* wa* very popular with the
seceders a few weeks ago. and he was
prominently spoken of by them as their
candidate for Vice President, but since he
ha* yielded hi* personal preferences, and
in hi* patriotic desire to defeat Lincoln,
they will probably denounce him now a*
a free softer a* they do every Northern
man who doe* not follow in their wake
nnd carry out their behests It is proper
to state that Douglaa wa* not Mr. Wood's
choice for President, but in order to defeat
a party whose principles, if carried out
are destructive of the dearest interests of
the South, he gives in his adhesion to
Douglas because he finds the masse* of
the Democratic party of his State for him.
For this loyalty to the rights of the South,
he will probably be denounced in no un
measured terms by the seceders, showing
again their ingratitude to our Northern
friends.
We give the following extracts from hie
letter;
Take the State of Hew York as en ex

a very large preponderance of the Demo
cratic vote of the State. With a united
party he can carry the State; whereas, if
a Breckinridge ticket shall be run, it will
be doubtful Why not let Douglaa have
the State ? By ao doing, you keep it from
Lincoln, recover it to the Democracy, and
prevent the success of the Republichn can

see no other course to be pursued. It is

We should do violence to our own feel
ings, snd disappoint your expectations, if
we were to dismiss you from under our
care, and allow you to return to your
home, family and friends, without saying
a few thing* with reference to your future.
Every one is. to a great extent, the framer
of hi* own destiny. If you desire that
your future history should be one of use
fulness, happiness and prosperity, much
depends upon laying carefully and well,
the foundation that is to sustain your lit
erary superstructure. However high your
attainment* in literature, however wide
the range of your knowledge of the vari-
sun. The mental training, through which
you have already passed, has been inten
ded to prepare you to trace to their foun
dation those streams to which you have
been led. It is impossible to set bounds
beyond which you may not pass in the
acquisition of knowledge. The most dis
tinguished philosophers, the most renown
ed sages whose names have been engraven
on the temple of fame in all the history
of the past were once struggling to mas
ter and comprehend the first rudiments of
an education. When we remember that
the existence of the soul will run parallel
to that of Deity, we shall readily perceive
that eternity alone can limit the attain
ments of the human mind and set bounds
to the expansion of the soul. The imagi.
nation in its loftiest flight, fells infinitely
short of describing the extent of the treas
ures of wisdom and knowledge which the
ous Arte and Sciences, much yet remain* ; soub ; n the fer distant future, shall heable

To-day you are to launch forth upon
the broad sea of life that reaches from the
present to the shores of a boundless eter
nity. Unaccustomed to the cares and anx
ieties of the world, as you stand and con
template the voyage of life, you fondly
imagine that the sea will always be calm,
the sky bright, and that no cloud will ev
er arise to cast its shadow athwart your
path. Would that these hopes which you
so fondly cherish tnigh] be realized. Be
instructed by the past history of our race,
and remember that the sea of life will be
stormy and tempestuous, that dangers will
beset you on every side, that difficulties
will meet you at every turn. Let it be
your first and chief concern to secure that j
human nature. Though the understand
ing has been darkened, and the intellectu
al powers paralyzed to a fearful extent, in
consequence of the fall yet the mind by
proper application may penetrate far into
the mysteries of nature, and comprehend
many of the laws that contrale the mate

below, and walks through nature’s deep
and vast arcana. It determines the rela

tions bear to each other, the mighty peri
od that must have intervened between the
first creation of matter in its chaotic state,
and the hour when God said, “ let there
be light and there was light.” When the
preserved.”
The desire of every southern man should
be to so direct his efforts as to concentrate
the most formidable opposition to the e-
lection of Lincoln and at the same time
foster sound National Union sentiments
at the South. From this stand point I
see but one course to pursue, and after
much consultation with others, and co-op
eration frankly submit it.
It is folly for the National Democratic
party of the South to think of co-operating
with tho disunion wing of their party
which seceded at Charleston and Balti
more, and which is mainly composed of
disunionists and Federal officials in the
South, and almost exclusively of qvnti
Lincoln men and the army of Federal
officers in other portions of the Union.—
No affiliation can be made with them.
But there is reason to believe that there
are sufficient oljects of patriotic desire
harmoniously existing between the Bell
and Everett men, and the Douglas and
Johnson men, in the South at least, to give
hope and encouragement for auch a union
as will defeat the election of Lincoln, and
paralyze the efforts of the disunionists —
How can such a union be accomplished ?
If there is any disposition to harmonise,
there is no difficulty about the way,
A meeting of the Executive Committee
of each party, equal in numbers, should
be called together and in view of such
meeting, both of the parties should defer
the meeting of their respective party State
conventions until about the 13th of August
and then meet on the same day in Milledge-
ville. If they could not harmonise in ac
tion, there is sufficient room in the Senate
and Representative halls for both parties
to meet and transact their business.
Now, how could they harmonise in ac
tion? They could determine to run the
same electoral ticket, composed of five
Bell men and five Douglas men, and have
it distinctly and honorably understood
that the vote of the State should be cast
for either Bell or Douglas if either could
be elected by such vote, and in case nei
ther could be elected by such vote then to i
the able and patriotic service cf Hcrschel
V. Johnson.
Douglas in Horth Mississippi.
A letter from Oxford, Miss., to the
Vicksburg Whig says:
“The spirits is evidently up in North
Mississippi. The Secession ticket will
not sweep everything before it as the lead
ers expected. There a»-e some Douglas
men in this section and influential ones
too. Capt. Delay, a Mexican veteran, the
pos.master here, and a life-long Democrat
is for Douglas, and so is R. 17. Phipps,
late editor of the Mercury. Hon. Daniel
B Wright formerly a member of Congress
from tliis district, it is said, has signified
to his friends his willingness to serve as
Elector for this district on the Douglas
and Johnson ticket. Mr. Bracken the
postmaster at Holly Springs, and a broth
er-in-law of Hon. John V. Wright, one of
Tennessee’s Representatives in Congress
is also sa!' to be for Douglas.”
Kansas a slave State, “it would not receive
my vote." He is the meant of Adminis
tration revenge. We were for him while
he stuck to his party. He never was fault
ess—let him go.
Douglas of Missouri.
The St Louis Republican, of the let
inst, has a dispatch from Mooneville, Mo.,
which states that Messrs. Jackson and
Reynolds Democratic esnidates for Gov
ernor and Lientonant-Governor in Missouri
have, in public speeches in Fayette, pro
nounced for Douglas and Johnson, as the
rcgularl' nominated, candidates of the par
ty. Bfr. Noell the candidate for Congress
in the Seventh District, has done likewise.
In fact, all of the Congressmen but two,
have put themselves right on this ques
tion. There is no doubt that Douglas
will carry Missouri by twenty thousand
majority.
