(Times aitfc Sentinel. 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.

[From the Constitutionalist & Republic.] 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 ’ gum. 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. As you will perceive, the meeting recom mended as their choice for Congress from this District, Col T. T. Long, of Chatham. 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 camo forward and addressed the meeting, and by letter accepted the nomination. ‘I his was a little out of the order of things it seems to me, but, as the old woman said whethshe kissed the cow, every one to their own no tion.”— ib. 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 m nt f r the road. Shipment of rails from 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. The *ew York Times, speaking of late com mercial advices from London, says : ‘ Some new purchases had taken place, to be paid f r in bonds. The Savannah (Brunswick) and FloridaComr any, for which Mr. Foote, of Ver mont, is hnu bought laigcly. r l he Evening Post says that Mr. Foote writes that he has negotiated the bonds of the Com pany at par for iron.— lo.

D. J. Batk)/.~ We are gratified to see j that this high minded gentleman and sterling : Democrat, has been re nominated for Con gress in the Third Congressional District.— From a somewhat limited acquaintance with him, we are led to regard Colonel Bailey as one ot the most reliable politicians that we have ever known. We shall rejoice to chroni cle his success in October.— Jb. Important AiTest, &c. 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, James L. Seward. Thomacvil'c, Juuw 10. 1 COi. ; 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 ?
