The Commencement exercise* institution were closed on last Wednesday, ot being in attendance, except day, we cannot apeak as to bow the students stood their examination, but learn that it was quite aatisftstory, and highly creditable to the learned President, Rer.

The three first mentioned receiv ed xKplemas as graduate*. These young men acquitted themselves handsomely.— On presenting the diplomas, President ftambaut delivered an appropriate and impressive address to the graduate*. Rev, Hob. (ho. W.

Mr. If. as a literary and accom plished speaker has no superior snd but few equals in the State. The friends of the College were grati fied to see so large a number of strangers present. The Urge chapel and gallery / /he slavery question—a question in which , were crowded to overflowing. every Southern man feels, directly or indi rectly, interested. Then why should there 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 be whit they might A man who has bat 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 us, as Southern men, all alike. Men—in telligent and well informed men—will dif fer. Cannot this difference of opinion be tolerated in Georgia?

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.

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 ample. Mr. Doughs, beyond doubt, has 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 didate for the Presidency.

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 be accomplished in the cultivation of those noble faculties with which your Cre ator has endowed you.

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 rial universe. It descends into the depths below, and walks through nature’s deep and vast arcana. It determines the rela tion which the various strata and forma 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. Douglas in the Country.—Every Dem ocratic paper in the State of N.
