His defence of the position of Judge'Douglas was triumphant and complete, he disposed of the charge of squatter sovereignty which is continu ally urged against Judge Douglas, by the politicians in a style peculiar to himself He pledged himself that. if Douglas could be convicted of squatter sovereignty that he would abandon the contest, and sup port the seceders candidate. The close of his speech was truly eloquent He said you may crush him to the earth, and van quish him, but with the mantle of truth and justice thrown around him, you could never conquer him.

We publish to-day, the proceedings of the Democratic Convention which assem bled at Milledgeviile on the 14-th inst., to nominate Douglas and Johnson electors. The seceders have been attempting to cre ate the impression that there are but a ■mall aquad of Douglas men in this State. But since the meeting of our Convention, this delusion will be dispelled. The Con vention was not only respectable in num bers, but was composed of some of the best men in the Stnte—men who are not actuated by any motive, save the interests <ef their country. It Was not a meeting of office seekers to arrange for their own pro motion, as is too often the case. We have attended a number of Conventions at Mil- lsdgerille, and it gives us pleasure to say that we "have never, witnessed a body of men actuated by purer motives. They all seemed conscious that they were i ight, and governed by a lofty patriotism—too lofty to be appreciated by the brawling politicians. There has gone abroad a false Impression as to the ^strength of the Na tional Democratic nominees in this State. Ibis state of feeling is brought about by talking village politicians, who are, most ly for Breckinridge. But the masses of the people, those who are not seeking po litical promotion, will stand^firm upon their old principles, and not permit them- selves to be carried into unbeaten paths, which lead to revolution, disunion, civil war and anarchy. The National Democracy of Georgia may well congratulate themselves upon the result of the late Convention. They have presented to them an electoral ticket worthy representatives of the great chiefs under whom they will fight We here haasrd the assertion that our candidates tor President and Vice President, in point •f great ability and statesmanship have not been surpassed by any previous ticket ever presented to the American people for their suffrages. And we can say the same of our electoral ticket—hendeff by that great statesman—who was pronounced on the floor of the United States Senate by a prominent Senator, to be one of the bright er! intellects this or any other country Over produced—Alexander H. Stephens, and associated with ‘him the Hon. A. R. Wright, who as an orator, has few equals and no superiors in the State, district will have the services as elector in The Bell and Everett Convention. This Convention met at Milledgeviile on the 13th inst to nominate candidates for Presidential electors. Eighty-seven counties were represented by near five hundred delelgates. Gen. J. W. A. San ford presided. The convention was ad dressed by Hon. B. H. Hill arid Hon. R. P. Trippe in powerful and eloquent spee ches. The latter unmasked the designs and exposed the insincerity of the leaders in the secession movement in a manner that was truly gratifying to a National democrat, though coming from a political opponent His friends say that he sur passed himself on that occasian. The following is the electoral ticket nominated: FOR THE STATE AT LARGE. WILLIAM LAW, of Chatham. B. H. HILL, of Troup. ALTERNATES. GARNET ANDREWS, of Wilkes. HINES HOLT, of Muscogoc. 1st District—S.

He informs us that he has received letters from various parts of this Con gressional district requesting him to ad dress the people. He will return some time in next month, when we hope his health will be so far recovered as to ena ble him to enter upon a vigorous canvass of the district. Hon. A. R. Wright. We learn from the Confederacy, that Horn*A. R. Wright addressed the Nation al Democracy at Atlanta on the eveningof the 16th inst. The largo Hall was filled to overflowing, andfghe greatest enthusi asm prevailed. Judge s Wright, it will be recollect^!, has stood firmly by the great statesman of the North-West, ever since rival aspirants for the Presidency attemp ted to overthrow him, to make room for themselves. The National Democracy of Georgia have, in Judge Wright, a cham pion'worthy the causeTie espouses. He- is well posted in the political affairs of the country, and is one of the very ablest speakers and first oratoas in the State. Reporter Supreme Court. We arc gratified to learn that our es teemed friend, George N. Lester, has been appointed Reporter of the Supreme Court Col. Lester has, by perseverance and in dustry, worked himself up to a high posi tion at the bar, and we congratulate him upon his promotion to the position he now occupies. We have known him intimate ly for many years, and can truly say that the Court could not have found a gentle man in the State more deserving their confidence, or one better qualified to dis charge the duties of the office. Col. L. has always maintained a high reputation for strict morality and unheeding integri- tv. you may be the better prepared to do ef ficient service in defence of her rights and the vindication of her honor. We would suggest to the several military companies in this County, the propriety of encamp ing near the Agricultural Fair Grounds, on the 35th, 26th and 27th September next, at which time, said fair will be held when and where a few days may be very pleasantly and profitably spent in the ex change of courtesies, and the discussion of plans for the increased efficiency of the several respective corps. The Cavalry, we notice, are without colors, a deficiency which should not be suffered long to exist The presentation of one, by the young ladies of Cassville and vicinity would, we doubt not, be thankfully received, and du ly appreciated.

Now we will inform you flfiend B., you are entirely mistaken when you think you can choke off a Tar Heel Democrat of the coperas breeches sort. You greatly mis take yourself if you think because you tan speak a little Latin, draw fine conclu sions, borrowed from bools, give fipe ideas upon scientific subjects, as taught you in Colleges or High Schools we presume, and because you can converse fluently on those subjects, when not the first idea you ad vance probably, originated in your ovn ( pate, but by the assistance of memory and your associations. Don’t friend B., let us advise you, don’t attempt to muzzle the mouth of a freeman, your fellow man, because he cannot talk, speak or write in Greek or Hebrew. Great men have their failings as well as small men. Mr. Editor, there are not afew.of these little street politicians, strutting about with tails curled, standing on tip toe try ing to see if there is not some probable chance for them to lick a few grains off the public shelf, whilst there are others butting stumps &c. And we know our friend B. has noticed them, and hope lie will be content and bule h is time and stand by with his old friend Tar Heel, and look at these fellows split their skulls open but ting stumps in anticipation of future re wards from their masters, but certain pun ishinent hereafter.

The tl i d is ably represented by Nathan Bass, whose great moral worth gives him a commanding influence. Judge Warner in the fourth will not permit our aaase to suffer for want of an able cham pion. The fifth presents Col. J. W. Har ris, one of the ablest impromptu stump Speakers in the State. There is no dem- agogueism about him—he speaks nothing bat the sentimentsof his heart The sixth baa that old, consistent and faithful dem ocrat, Col. James P: Simmons. The sev enth, Col. J- S.

There are al so two able alternates for each district— Taken altogether, this is probably the a blest electoral ticket ever presented to the people of Georgia. They can meet and vanquish the seceders ticket on the stump, Democracy of Kentucky will enter the contest with a determination to succeed. If they do not succeed they feel certain of receiving a higher vote than the seceders ticket Hon. L. J. Glenn.

We are indebted to Capt. W. W.

M. filed, pure from the plain truths as taught them in their youth. By their old saint ed mothers and in manhood by their plain old wool-hat fathers. These are the peo ple for us Mr. Editor, taught from their infancy to love and respect the govern ment of their fathers, they seem not to de part from that l&yalty in their manhood, neither will they desert the government' of their fathers in old age. Yes sir, it is the plain Iron fisted Democracy, the pa triots of the land, the lovers of the Union, that have recentlv spoken in Kentucky, the heme of J. C. Breckinridge, and have said in language not to be misunderstood. You have departed from the faith, Mr. Breck. You have suffered your hereto fore good name to be used by the enemies of your country, by men who have enter ed into a league at first sworn to and sub scribed, but at this time they open the doors wide and admit members free of charge, into full fellowship. These are the men who at least form a large and res pectable portion of your supporters.— Hence, Mr. Breck. you having suffered yourself to become the candidate of these disorganized of the Democratic party— these followers of Yancey A Co., we can not suffer the old patriotic State of Ken tucky to thus stultify itself, to please you or any other trading or corrupt politician, that ever did, has, or will make a track on the soil of Kentucky, we have ever been of the opinion, honestly, from the first act perpetrated by Mr. Yancey, that he spake the sentiments of his heart when by his former acts, backed by his own declarations. His main object in disagree ing with the Democratic party in Conven tion assembled, by his extreme ultra and extravagant demands, accompanied by threats of dissolution and precipitating the cocton States into a revolution, Ac., Ac.

The Douglas and Bell parties of New York, animated by a common spirit of pa triotism, to defeat Lincoln, the Northern sectional candidate, have fused upon an electoral ticket. Douglas gets twenty five and Bell ten of the electoral votes. New York may now be set down for Douglas and Bell. Fire! A stable belonging to Mr. Bohannon in this place, was burnt on last Friday night. It was the work of an incendiary, as there was no chance for it to have taken fire from accident There has been seve ral stables burnt at this place during the last twelve months. It seems that some fiend has a mania for stable burning. mr The mechanics are for Douglas— why should they not be? He having serv ed a time at the cabinet makers business, knows how to appreciate their calling.— The Constitutionalist of the 19th inst, publishes the vote taken in a shop in that city, a few days ago, with the following result: Douglas... 61 Bell 6 Breckinridge. 1 in-law of Howell Cobb and former Mayor of Atlanta.

Atlanta, Georgia Convention, Mr. Yancey A Co., wore very prominent. They were the moving spir its in said Convention, consequently, the friends of Mr. Breckinridge must bear with us. 'When wc charge upon him the aid and comfort he is giving them, that it is the desire of the Yancey party to dissolve first the Democratic party, and then pre cipitate the Southern States into a revolu tion. If this be not true, why this over whelming defeat ef the Breckinridge par ty in his own State. Gentlemen, coming events cast their shadows before, the wri ting on the wall. Its interpretation will make your knees smite each other. It is to be regreted Mr. Editor, that in the pre sent distracted and disorganized state of the Democratic party in this State as well as other States, the glorious aid unterrified (by the action of these official aspirants, disunionists) are denied the glorious priv ilege of bearing, the old stars and stripes proudly and unsullied to a brush with its enemies in the present campaign. If such is to be the case, and the honor falls on the friends of Mess. Bell and Everett, let us fall in the rear of these gallant men, and give one long and loud shout for them great and-glorious principles actuate them. The Union, the Constitution and the En- foi cement of the Laws. We deem it unnecessary, Mr. Editor, to enter into any argument in order to prove to your readers the position of Mr. Breck inridge now occupies before the people as a candidate for President of the United States. That question is being now deci ded from time to time as these elections come off, you and your readers will be come more thoroughly satisfied of the fol ly of his being kept on the track, he is not the candidate of the Democratic party nor of any acknowledged party known but is forced upon the people by the officers of the government, old Buck at the head and a tremendous list forming the tail, too te dious to mention. From letters recently published, we find some little trouble in the Breckinridge camp. We refer you to the revolutionary documents of the Hon. L. M. Keitt To Messrs. A. G. Salley and others, July 16, 1860, and to the manifesto issued from head quarters. By the Honorable W. L. Yancey, to J. A. Slaughter, June 15th, 1858. When the fact shall become known that Mr. Breckinridge will have permission to go home to Kentucky and seat himself at his own fireside, and then reflect over the past, when the second sober thought shall present itself to his mind, he then in real ity can see things as they truly are, he will begin to repent, and no doubt would get on his knees and pray to that God that protected our forefathers, in days that tried men’s souls, to forgive him for thus being instrumental in not only destroying the only party upon which rested the hope of all lovers of peace and harmony at home and commanded respect from abroad—to forgive him in tJius suffering himself to be made a tool ot to divide the party, des troy the hopes of all true friends of liber ty, both at home and abroad. We believe Mr. Breckinridge entitled to great respect, and regret the situation he has placed himself in before his party and ids conn- try, which has caused bis own noble old Kentucky, to thus publicly declare that they will not have any such men to rule over them. He no doubt, has been prom ised such overwhelming majorities "by those government pets, and old Buck, that thev by persuasion almost forced him to and important questions have from time to time been presented to your body in Congress assembled. You have taken po sitions, and when there was doubts as to your position being sustained by your constituency,you have mounted the stump thrashed out some honest man of your party who dared oppose your position and wiggled in with some prominent persons of your Congressional district, packed the Convention by promising scats in the leg islature and down almost to coroner, suc ceed in a nomination and election. The Senators to Congress, have stooped even lower (if possible) than you have, and have been reelected by the wisdom and patriotism of our legislature. Now what is the result, do you attempt to give ar. account of your stewardship. “ No.” You commence one year in ad vance to see if you can agree upon a presi dent. Dictating the platform, and when you think you agree, you first get up all the Editors, tell them what course they must pursue with their papers. Dictate the characters of their editorials and if any poor honest little Editor shall presume to differ with you, all your hireling Edi tors walk right into him and out of the party “pell mell” he is read, and even- individual is read out that docs not walk square up to what you say is the proper course the Democratic party should (shall) persue. Mr. Editor, do you think there is pa triotism remaining in this, our once free and happy land, to put these fellows where they belong. “ IIow much longer shall they lssh and goad us.” We understand the Right Hon. Secre tary Howell Cobb will soon enliven us with his eloquent tongue, he has recently left his palace at the seat of government, and deems it absolutely necessary to visit his political plantation, stir up his over seers. Issue new orders, from himself, thrash around and stir up all hands, dis miss all found the least remiss in their du ties. Make a few speeches, then his Edi tors will herald its effects North, East, South and West, saying: Georgia will cast her vote for Breckinridge by a major ity of 75,000. Now sir, this is as near the truth as your humble servants can describe it, to the best of our knowledge and belief, and if we had the patriotism and firmnees that belonged to the Romans in the brightest days of their republican simplicity, we would take their credentials from them, as unworthy the trust reposed in them, and let them retire into the rear rank of all the political armies of our section and there remain until called on to serve as fatigue parties, and let that position be held by these only, and do other filthy work, there and elsewhere about, as neces sity may require. ; We suppose it will be expected by sottio I that wje should notice (somewhat) the ar ticle in the Cartersville Express in which our friend B., as he is pleased to term him self, takes us to task for presuming (as we suppose) to even dare utter our sentiments which, proving unintelligible to him, can be easily understood by the common peo ple of the country. And for that reason we chose The Standard as the proper or gan of the unterrified, through whose col umns, the common people were most like ly to look for plain common sense talk.— Easily understood by common sense per ception. Our friend B., as will readily be per ceived, pitches unceremoniously into us, and from the beginning to the end of his article, resorts to a very low grade of Crit icism, which we shall by no means attrib ute to him if attacking his presumed e- quals. But his extreme contempt for the party to which we belong, then the big words and bad grammar, yes, and our miserable poor reasoning, all put into a crucible and well stirred up together, cre ated a gas very offensive to friend B.— Probably he had reason to complain, for he states at the head of his article that the she baby “ was turned up,” now was not Democratic State Conyentioa.
