COLUMBUS, GEORGIA.
WEDNESDAY MORNING, JUNE 22, 1853.
FOR GOVERNOR.
UERSCIIEL V. JOHNSON.
The Congressional Con veil tiou.
The Democracy of the 2d Congressional District of
Georgia will assemble in Albany ou Wednesday, 29th
ins!., for the purpose of selecting a candidate fur Con
gress. Wc do not feel at liberty to indicate our pref
erence for either of the very worthy gentlemen whose
names have been suggested by partial friends lor this
high honor. They are all worthy men and which ever
one may obtain the nomination will receive a warm and
cordial support at our hands.
We cannot deny ourselves the pleasure, neverthe
less, of spreadingbefore our readers the following com
plimentary notice of one of the gentlemen whose name
has been mentioned in this eoumetiou, which we tiled
in the Southern Democrat.
Referring to a notice in our columns in which we
corrected tho erroneous impression that Capt. John
Forsyth had removed from Georgia—the Democrat
says :
We regretted as rnpeh perhaps as any i dividual, the ios-s
to the democratic party of the very able services of this gen
tleman in retiring from the arduona and responsible duties
of an editorial lift'—and no less did wo regret the loe3 (as
we supposed) to the State of one of her noblest. sons—and
now rejoice at the announcement contained in the above
paragraph—-“that Capt. Forsyth has never contemplated
leaving Georgia.”
A correspondent of the Time# suggests the name of Capt
Forsvth to the consideration of the Albany Convention.—
We have only to say, that should tho Convention honor
him with their confidence, we shall give him as cheerful a
support, as we shall to any democrat iu this district, who
opposes Jimmy Johnson.
The Flare up m the till District.
Our readers are aware that a convention was recently
hc-id in Newnan.at which Col. Wm. B. W. Dknt was
nominated as the candidate for Congress. The district
was represented in the last Congress by Col. Murfhy,
a Union Democrat, who, however, cheerfully submitted
his claims to the decision of the convention, in the con
fident assurance that he would be nominated. The re
sult disappointed hia expectations. Col. Dent, a South
ern Rights Democrat, was preferred before him—and
he has very unwisely consented to run in opposition to
the nominee of a convention iu which he voluntarily
allowed his name to be used.
it is alleged in justification of this breach of faith,
that the Southern Rights Democrats inveigled Colonel
Murphy into the convention by assurances of support
and then basely betrayed him by giving their suffrages
to Col. Dent. We are very happy to be able to expose
the falsehood of this charge. The Marietta Advocate ,
a paper friendly to Cos!. Murphy’s nomination, says:
As to the cry of proscription, it is a fact, we have been
told, that of the delegates in the convention who were for
merly Union men, but one supported Col. Murphy. Tho
delegates from Cobb county were all Southern Rights ;
Democrats. They gave Col. .Murphy au unshaken support i
through all the baliotings, and until the contest among the j
different aspirants was actually decided. Here was no |
proscription. Our delegates knew 7 no distinction betw r een j
Democrats on account of former differences. And if Coi.
Murphy had received tho nomination, they would most
chee-rlully have supported him before the people as they
did in the Convention.
This truthful statement places this charge in its true
light. It is simply a falsehood.
It is also charged that there was unfairness in the
ratio of votes allowed to the several counties, and that
such a ratio was adopted as weakened the counties fa
vorable to Col. Murphy.
Mj J. Welch, who was a supporter of Col. Mur
phy, and the President of tho convention, gives the fol
lowing statement which stamps this charge also as
false. Referring to a lettei from Col. Dent, in which
he proposed the re assembling of the convention ‘‘to
correct any unfairness, irregularity, or mistake” which
may have been committed, Maj. Welch says:
I have \veighed well the subject, and have concluded
that it will be improper for me to call the delegates togeth
er. Ido not believe that there was anything in the circum
stances of the nomination which would justify me in doing
it. You will doubtless remember, that while you were
temporarily a member of the Convention as the authorized
representative of an absent delegate, you moved that the
delegates from the different counties should cast a number
ol votes equal to throe tor each militia district of
the county which they respectively represented.—
A substitute for your motion was offered and adop
ted, to the effect that each county should cast a num
ber of votes equal to the number voted by the county of
Coweta, which had more delegates in the Convention than
any other county of tho district. The Convention being
organized, tho ballots proceeded after this resolution, and
after the result of the last (fifteenth) ballot was announced,
a member of the Convention friendly to and active in his
efforts to procure the nomination of another gentleman,
moved that you should be nominated by acclamation, and
the motion was unanimously adopted.
“We take it for granted, therefore, that Col. Dent is
the choice of tho re-united Democracy—and that any
dissatisfaction that exists iu the district is confined to
Coi. Murphy, to such Democrats as had before resolved
to co-operate with the Whig party, and to Whigs. Os the
conduct of tho whigs, the Advocate very truly remarks,
that they would be very glad to use him (Murphy) to de
feat the regular democratic candidate. Just a, if he
had been the nominee of the convention, they would
have stood ready to encourage Col. I)cnt or any other
democrat to tud against him. The whigs are always
ready to use any man of any political principles to de
feat the choice of the democratic pauy.
We regret that Col. Murphy, whom tho party were
disposed to regard favorably, is so blinded hv passion
as to lend himself to such practices.
M e cannot conclude these remarks without copying
and endorsing the language of Maj. Welch in respect to
the maguauiimty of Col. Dent iu proposing to resign
the nomination so unanimously tendered to him by the
convention and ot submitting his claims again to the i
people. Maj. Welch, after giving his reasons for not
colli* “ another convention, says :
But I beg you to bo assured that I fully appreciate the j
hjgh and noble ieeungs which prompted you to address me j
your note, and will aod that I am convinced that honora
ble minds will impute no intentional error to the proceed- i
P body ©ver which l had the honor to preside, aud i
that however individual members may have desired the re- 1
suit to be otherwise, ail will cordially unie m the support j
of the nominee, satisfied, as they must be, that if the people i
should ratify their proceedings at the polls they will have \
an able and faithful Representative.

Xhe De.nocratic Convention and its Nominee.
We cordially congratulate the Democracy of
Georgia upon the bright auspices under which
their Convention of last Wednesday met, and
the cheering prospects of triumphant issue of the
approaching campaign.
The Convention was the largest ever assem
bled in the State of Georgia. It was not less
distinguished for intelligence than for its num
bers. In zeal and harmony, and enthusiasm, it
equalled the famous Whig Harrison Convention
of 1840, while numerically it surpassed it. Many
of the brightest minds in democratic ranks were
were there. Some were there of tho flower and the
chivalry of the old Whig party, as it existed in
its palmy days, when it followed the proud ban
ner of the gallant Harry of the West, and
bravely fought for principles and policy, now
abandoned, obsolete, or condemned by the peo
i pie. This was one of the most pleasing features
of this Convention, and was duly appreciated.
-Such an infusion of gallant spirits and intellec
tual vigor derived from the very best material of
our former opponents, inspired a glow of en
thusiasm for a cause, the justice of which is so
handsomely recognized, and which so large a
majority of the American people have vindicated
‘at the ballot box. The Union Democracy and
the Southern Rights Democracy were theie al
so, counselling together for tho advancement of
principles common to both; and all stood to
; gether like a band of brothers upon the plat
form of the National Democracy as declared at
i Baltimore, and pledged to each other to main
; tain and to perpetuate it as the settled creed,
i Few who witnessed that potent gathering
of tho representatives of ‘7/*s unterrified” and
scanned its material, noted the determination of
purpose and the harmonious blending together
of wishes, could resist tho conviction that the
Democracy of Georgia are stronger as a party
now than they were ever before. This, at least,
is our conviction, and we confidently appeal to
the vote of next October for its confirmation.—
Let the Whigs bring out their strongest man.—
Let them sound their loudest bugles to the
rally and gather their clans from mountain to
seaboard ! The Democrats are in tho field,
ready for the fight, and feel that the fiercer the
conflict, the more certain their victory.
r l here was tho unprecedentedly large num
ber of 79 counties represented in the Conven
tion.
Hie number of Delegates present was 207.
Under the rules of representation and of voting
adopted, the whole number of votes the dele
gates were entitled to oast was 308. The bal
lotings show that Judge Johnson wa3 the favo
rite oftho Convention from the first, and the
steadily continuing improvement on his first
vote demonstrated a solid and reliable strength.
When the result of the sth ballot was ascertain
ed loud plaudits rang through the Representa
tive Hall, and the proposition to declare the
nomination unanimous was received with mar
ked cordiality and enthusiasm. T’rom that
moment we have not doubted that the nomin
ation is equivalent to an election.
The friends of the other distinguished gentle
men whose claims to the nomination were pre
sented to the Convention acted most handsome
ly. Their cheerful acquiescence in the will of
| the majority, and their warm pledges to support
the nominee will all their energies, were in the
spirit of true democrats.
It is in tin’s spirit the Campaign opens, aud by
it the triumph of the Democracy will be render
ed sure.
We regret that our space does not permit us
to mention particularly the sensible and appro
priate address of Mr. Burney. He made a most
excellent presiding officer. The speeches, too,
of Messrs. Cowart, McMillan, Hillyer, Brown,
Crook, Tucker, Ramsay, and Flournoy, are
worthy of more than a passing notice. They
were listened to with pleasure and had a good
effect. These concluded the incidents of the
convention, after which it adjourned in the finest
spirits and with high hopes.
Death ol Rev. S. J. Cassels, ’
It is with deep regret that we announce the
death of our esteemed friend arid fellow-citizen,
the Rev. S. J. Cassels, the Principal of Chatham
Academy, who has been for many years highly
appreciated in this community as an instructor
of youth, and who before his removal to this |
city, was greatly esteemed by his denomination
as an earnest, eloquent and successful minister i
of the gospel. He was a native of Liberty Cos.,
in this State, graduated with high honor at Frank
lin College, and soon after entered the ministry !
of the Presbyterian church, having studied the- j
ology under Dr. Waddell, President of Frank- j
liu College. From the first he took a high stand
as a Preacher, and was called during the course
of his life to several prominent and distinguished
positions in the church. He was a few years
ago compelled to give up preaching, by bron
chitis, became a citizen ofTSavannah, and opened
a school for the instruction of youth. The
academy of which he bad charge, when he died, ,
with the efficient co-operation of the gentlemen i
whom he had associated with him, has attained
its former popularity and celebrity as au Eduea- j
tional Institution.
He was a man of great energy of character,
and incessant in his efforts to do good, continu
ing to labor in his school, and through the Press |
to set forth and enforce that truth which he-had
long preached, when his ill health and bodily j
weakness would have afforded an ample apo- j
logy tor rest and quiet. We deeply sympathize j
with Ills afflicted family, and sincerely hope that j
they may enjoy the support and comfort of that j
religion whose power he so gloriously illustrated i
in his death. —Savannah Georgian,
Democratic State Convention.
The proceedings of this body, taken from
an extra of the Federal Union , will be found in
to day’s paper. We understand that the num
ber ot coun ies represented was larger than in
any political convention ever before held in
Georgia. Judge Johnson was nominated on
the fifth, and not the fitty-eighth ballot, as re
ported by telegraph.
His nomination, under the circumstances
attending it, while in the highest degree com*
plimentarv to himself, gives to his friends the
strongest assurance of his success. Under the
operation of the two-thirds rule, it had been
thought that the most prominent candidates
would invariably fail of a nomination. But
not so. Commencing with a little less than a
majority, on the fifth ballot Judge Johnson had
two-thirds, and on the sixth would, we
’ are assured, have bad three-fourths, had that
j number been required to nominate him.
The most gratifying feature connected with
| tho result is. that this singularly near approach
! to unanimity in his favor, was, we are inform
ed, owing to the heartiness with which our
Union Democra ic brethren went into his sup
j port. Does not, we would ask, their interest
jin his nomination sound the death knell ot
Whig hopes ot dissensions in onr ranks 1
Complete harmony prevailed during the
| session of the convention, and the highest sat
! isfaction was generally ielt among the dele
gates at the result of its action. —Savannah Gcor

T. T. Long, Esq., in th° Field far Congress.—
A correspondent of the Thomasville Watchman,
writing from Magnolia, the county site of
Clinch county, mentions the fact that Thomas
Telfair Long has been nominated for Con
gress, by the Constitutional Union party of
thut county, and has accepted the nomination.
We make the following extract from his
letter:
‘‘A Constitutional Union meeting wa* held
here last night, at which E J. Sermons presid
ed, and George W. Newß rn, acted as Secre
tary. ‘J he proceedings will doubtless reach
you in time for the next i.-sue of the Watchman.

I did not attend the meeting but was inform
ed that a committee of seven were appoin
ted to inform Col. Long of his selection, who

and by letter accepted the nomination. ‘I his

to me, but, as the old woman said whethshe
kissed the cow, every one to their own no

Iron fr the B-unswick Hoad. — Several of the
New > ork papers mention the fact that Presi
dent Foote has succeeded in purchasing iron
rails for this road with the bonds ot the Com
pany in England, ‘i he ’tribune of the 14th
says: “Advices from London site that Mr.
Foote lias disposed of the Brunswick and
Florida Railroad Co.’s sterling bonds in | ay

Liverpool for Brunswick will commence im
mediately. The iron for some ten miles of
this road arrived some weeks since, and is now
being laid down.

mercial advices from London, says : ‘ Some
new purchases had taken place, to be paid f r
in bonds. The Savannah (Brunswick) and

Cincinnati, June 13.
A man named T. Craig was arrested at New
port to day, .and immediately brought to this
city, on tho charge of being implicated in exten
sive forgeries. The prisoner was arrested when
in the act of writing a letter which is said to
pointedly implicate himself. In his house were
found a large trunk, a pair of saddio-bags, and
several baskets full of letters, with blank deeds,
certificates, &e., implicating a large number of
persons iu various parts of the Union. Notarial
presses and seals were also found, and upon part
ot the deeds the notarial seal of Hamilton county
had been found.
An examination of the mass of documents
found brings to light a series of most bold and
villainous transactions, and it appears that a
wide-spread fraudulent real estate business has
been carried on for years, some of the letters
being dated as far back as 1849. Some of the
letters pretend to he copies of letters to or from -
members of Congress. There is also blank
certificates, doubtless stolen from the Recorders’
offices in Illinois, Ohio and Georgia; parchments
tor drawing up land warrants ; deeds signed and
sealed, requiring only the insertion of names.
Craig is in jail awaiting trial. A letter to
Brown & Cos., of Uniontown, Fa., opened by
the postmaster of that place, who did not know ,
ol any such firm, and supposed the letter mis
directed, led to the discovery.
The yicsiUa Question in California, —There
was quite an excitement in California against
the Mexicans when the news of the difficulty be
tween Gen. Lane and Gov. Trias came to hand.
In the Assembly a member, who anticipated a
speedy war with Mexico, offered the following
resolut'on :
Resolved, That a committee of three be appoin
ted to draft a joint resolution, or bill, authoiis
ing certain person* to organize ten companies
of mounted men, without expense to the State,
and granting them the right to repair to a spot
within and near the line of the .State where it ■
touches the river Gila—there to remain so j
long as they choose, at their own cost or until
a requisition shall have been made upon this
State for troops, in the event of a war with
| Mexico.
Quite an animated debate glow out of this ;
j movement, in which many of the ablest members
took part, but the resolution was finally laid
upon iho tablo.
To the Voters of the First Congressional
District.
Fellow Citizens : Yielding to the solicita- j
tions of numerous friends in this and other
count es, I have conse ted to become a can- (
didate to represent this district in the next
Congress. The position which I thus occupy
is violative of no right which others may think
proper to exercise.
Ail expression of opinion by the people fa
vorable to the candidacy of any particular in
dividual, though not embodied in the shape of
resolutions, is no less indicative of their wish
es, than if expressed through the medium of
a convention, especially of imperfect repre
sentation. Fortified by precedent which has j
been sanctioned and approved by the people
of the and strict at the ballot box, I have felt less
reluctance in being influenced by the determi
nation of friends in taking thL step. Fortu
nately for the country, tho public mind is in a
state “of political repose, with no exciting
cause to betray them into hasty action, or h
mode of reasoning that would likely lead to 1
wrong conclusions. My political opinions
have not been concealed, and I presume are
understood. Suffice it to say, I cast my vote
at the last Presidential election for Gen. Pierce,
believing as Id and, and do now, that he was de
cidedly tho best man for the South. The pop
ular opinion which elevated him to the office
of President, is an argument powerful in itself
why every effort should be made to make his
administration worthy of a free people, and
patriotism demands of us that we should allow j
no improper feeling or party bias 10 influence |
us in seeking to embarrass or thwart hi-* views
so long as they are sound and republican
The great doctrine of fctate Rights has been
fully recognized by him, and so Jong as his ;
administration is k pt within the s und eon- j
servative principles of the Constitution, all
parties should sustain him. In fin develop
ment of public measures as they may bo pr - j
senled. the representatives of the people must j
necessarily have le t them a large range oi’dis i
cretion. The character and qua lications of
a representative constitute the chief element j
upon which the people must and will decide
in giving heir votes Whatever qualification
I may possess is to be judged of by them, and j
whether they will clothe m * or another wit?, the
imp rtant power which their representative
must exercise, is to be submitted to their judg
ment and passed upon by them. All i can
promise them, if honored with their c nfidence,
is faithfulness to the*i interests and an honest
bestowment of the best energies of my mind
in maintaining their rights and in advancing
such measures as will promote the public
good and giving strict attention to such mat
ters as may immediately concern, and be de
manued by, a iiberal arid enlightened con
stituency. Respectfully,

; Railroad Festival—Mr. Eocltranc’s Address.
At the urgent solicitation of a friend, Mr. Locir
rane has furnished the following copy of the remarks
made by him at the Railroad Festival at Savannah,
j Mr. President, &c. :—lt is with feelings of the most un
| feigned diffidence and reluctance I rise to respond to this im
! expected cull at this late hour in the evening, i can not
j hope to add anything lo the ebullitions of wit, fancy and
j eloquence which you have heard from the distinguished
| gentlemen who have preceded me, but when l look wn
this vast and brilliant assemblage, a thousand thoughts
rise sparkling on memory’s wing before me, and though
tho falling curtain betokens a close of this evening's festivi*
i ties, cannot refrain from making a few remarks.
A few days ago we were assembled around the festive
j board in that city whose shores are gently laved by the
1 waters cf the Chattahoochee, and who can forget—even
here where all that affection can procure to gratify—taste
■ invent to please or wealth obtain, magnificent to daxzie,
glitter before our eyes and are strewed in hospitable pro
! fusion arounc! us—l ask, who, even here can forget the
• kind and generous hospitality with which we were there
! received and welcomed, who can forget the cordial, warm
i aad earnest desire which pervaded the citizens of Col urn -
j bus to vender our sojourn pleasant and agreeable, who
j can forget the liberality of her citizens and the princely
i entertainment to which we were so generously invited,
| who can forget the peerless and radiant beauties that
* looked love and whispered music as they glided in the
dance, who can forget their bloom of beauty and their
clear sparkling eyes whose light excelled the first rosy
j blush of that eastern sunset, that tor tho first time gleams
ed on the radiance of Paradise, in a word who can forget
i die Ladies of Columbus ? Not he whose heart warms to The
I smi ot love or kindles to tho graces of beauty, as well at
! tempt to grasp the waters of the Atlantic in our lianas
i and cash them against tae sun as tear these recollections
j from our breasts, they are immutably fixed, the shadows of
! years may creep over the dial of our hearts, but it will
ever truly point to Columbus as we glide along the stream
j of lire and the tide of time in other lands and beneath
other skit-s. ‘‘They still shall haunt the <. r reenes‘
wwaWsi vnratc, u aud WO Will CVfcT CXCiaUil,
“Let fate do her worst, there are relics of joy,
Bright dreams of the past that sire cannot|destroy,
That come in the night time of sorrow and care,
And bring back the features that joy used to wear.”
A few days ago, I repeat, we were assembled to see the
iron nuptials of Columbus with the queen city of Georgia,
and we are now standing in the cradle in winch the fame
of Oglethorpe was rooked, participating in the bridal party. !
May the union be productive of good fruits, may it be crown
ed with prosperity, and after due lime has elapsed for its
successful consummation. Macon, the proud and noble city
from whence I hail, will give yon a baptism not by irmner- .
eion in the waters of the Ocmulgce, hut by sprinkling with
t!w more delightful beverages of Johannesburg and Prince j
Mettcrnich. The spirit of Rational enterprise has brought
together the eastern aud western borders of your liable
State; it has consummated this union of the Atlantic with
the Chattahoochee, ft is this spirit which has tumbled
mountains into the valleys and spanned rivers until the
