(Times mtfc %tvdimi. COLUMBUS, GEORGIA. FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 24, 1853. FOR GOVERNOR. HERSCHEL V. JOHNSON. The Opening Canvass. THE VARIED NAMES AND CONFLICTING FAINCIFLES OF TIIE WHIG PARTY. It is with some reluctance that we turn aside from the agr eable task of making a newspaper, to the disa greeable work of the present canvass, which the oppo uents of the Democracy are resolved to convert into a mere squabble for the spoils, in which defamation and slander are the weapons of warfare. It is very true that our enemy is the veritable whig party which we have so often vanquished ; but, like the mountebank, it has so manv new names 5 such an as sortment of disguises ; so endless a variety of tone and expression ; that plain and honest men are olten at a ions to fix its identity—uot only does it adopt principles to-day which it repudiates to-morrow, but it suits its principles to every locality and to every varying phase of public sentiment. These are strong assertions, but they are borne out by the history of the party to the very letter. In the Ilarrisou campaign there was avowedly no common platform. Bank men and anti bank men, Tariff men and anti-tariff men. Federalists and Republ cans, fought side by side in the ranks for candidates whose sentiments and principles were as op posite as the party was mongrel which supported them. In the campaign of 1844, the whig party under the lead of Henry Clay boldly promulgated its platform in wh ch was embodied the American system of their distin guished candidate; oppo-ition to the veto power, the last bulwark which shields the South from the rapa cious avarice and destructive fanaticism of a relentless northern majority, and a fierce and bitter crusade against the acquisition and annexation of Texas to the United States. In this great conflict the whig party was overwhelmed, and never since has it had the cour age to come before the country with an avowal of its principles. The Taylor campaign was a humbug, and his administration proved a failure ; and even whig leaders at the South ridiculed its feebleness and aided iu making it contemptible. Such is tl- e history of the whig party. No won der it is ashamed of its name and now desires to conceal its deformities under the spacious title of “Conservative,” an adjective used in England to char acterise that branch of the old Tory party which is most opposed to freedom and progress. Let them have it—they cannot disgrace it and render itcoutempt able—it is so already. In the canvass that is now opening in Georgia, this Joseph coated party has commenced its work by adopt ing names and principles to suit different localities.— Here, wher its success depends upon its nominating a man who is a renegade Democrat for Congress, it is called the conservative party, and has adopted a reso lution in favor of a reduction of the Tariff— uotwith standing the fact that Fillmore recommended an in crease of the rate of duties in his every message, and who right and expediency of protecting home industry by high duties was expressly asserted in the Baltimore platform. In Cherokee, where its success depends upon its capacity to gull Union Democrats, it is the Union party, and stands upon the “Georgia platform !” and you can hear of nothing, read of nothing from politicians in that region but of the proscription of Union Demo crats, sympathy for Warner and Murphy, and the dangers of disunion. In other parts of the State where Whiggery is in the ascendant, it sticks to the name of Whig and mount* the Whig platform. This is the casein Baldwin and I roup. T hese disguises, however, are all transparent. You clothe yourselves in lions’ skins, or leopards’ skins, or sheep’s wool in vain. The Democracy see your tail and hoofs, and know their old enemy. Shipping Cotton—The Cheapest Route. Now that Columbus is in connection with Savannah by Railroad, cotton planters and cotton buyers are much intcrt6ted in knowing w hether it is safer, cheaper and more expeditious to eliip cotton by Railroad than the R'ver. Upon the answers given to these enquiries very large interests depend ; and all statements touch ing them should be received with much caution. In the Savannah Courier of the 7th inst, we find a communication from Mr. L. M. Durk, recently a citizen of Columbus, but now of Savanuali, in which this subject is examined. We give it for what it is worth : Expenses of Shipping Cotton from Columbus, Ga., to N. York, via. Apalachicola, Fla.

This statement of Mr. Durr is very violently assailed in an article communicated to the Apalachicola Adver tiser by a commission merchant of that city. The writer accuses Mr. Durr of gross ignorance, and points out the following inaccuracies in his sla’eineut: “Insu rance” down the river is uot 1 per cent as stated by Mr. ; Durr, but • 8 per cent. “Freight” to Apalachicola is i often one dollar per bale, but is often only 75 cts., and j not unfrequently 50 ceuts per bale. “R. ceiviug and forwarding ’at Apalachicola is usually 25 cents per bale, but there is nioro or less forwarded at 12 1-2 cts., and considerable to foreign porta for merely the commissions on the freight. “Storage at Apalachicola” for 1 week is put down at 26 cents. The true and common charge is only 20 cents. “Fire Insurance” ie put down at 12 1-2 cents per week by Mr. Durr. It j ought to be only 6 1-4 cents. “Freight from Apalachi cola to New York” stated at 5-8 ct., is as much above, as the rate from Savannah to New York stated at 5-16 is below. Take one season with another and Savannah will not average below 3-8 and A palachicola will not average above 9-16. “Insurance to New York” from Apalachicola is only 11-4 per cent, and thtough Insu rance from Columbus to New York can be obtained at any of the Boston or Providence offiees at 1 3*4 per ct. There is no charge in Mr. Durr’s statement for “Ma rine Insurance.” With these explanations we append the statement of the “Commission Merchant.” Expenses on Cotton from Columbus to New York, via Apalachicola.

School Association of Muscogee. j The meeting of the School Association which was to j have been held ou Tuesday evening, is postponed until this evening. It is the object of this body, by means of Lectures and Essays, to awaken a more general interest in the cause of education, and to elevate the standard, and promote a higher degree of efficiency among the schools of the county. In this point of view, the Association should enlist the co-operation of parents as well as teachers. They are mutually interested in the results contemplated ; and while our citizens are using a very laudable zeal in advancing the pecuniary interests of our section, it is ; hoped they will not overlook the permanent question of intellectual and moral training for the young. The As ! sociation, which meets to-night at Temperance Hall, affords the means of combining the knowledge, experi ence and zeal of all conoerned. An address will be delivered by Rev. C. B. Kino 5 and Mr. Mallory will reaff an Essay. The punlic are respectfully invited to attend. Alabama and Florence Railroad. The City Council of Montgomery has subscribed : $500,1-00 to the Pensacola road, provided alike amount ; shall be subscribed by responsible persons in Alabama, i and the reai estate-holders in the city shall ratify the subscription- We learn from the Alabama Journal that the Mobile and West Point Railroad company has subscribed $200,000, and that private citizens have sub scribed $300,000. Criminal Causes. In our Superior Court now sitting, the Jury in the ease of the State, vs. Jt-rnigan, f>r killing Newberry, returned a verdict on yesterday, of “Voluntary Man slaughter.” The crime is punishable with imprisonment in the Penitentiary for from two to four years. j A CARD. i— j WE, the undersigned, the Jury etnpannelled iu the j case of the State vs. Jernigau, after being fully dis j charged by the Court, deem it a duty to return to Mr. I D. A. Garrett, of the City Hotel, our warm and sin cere thanks for the very sumptuous manner with which ha feasted us during our confinement at the Court Hoqse in the above case. A confinement which would have been dull aud uninteresting, but for the generous hospitality extended us. In conclusion, we would say to strangers visiting our city, that wish to find good eating and an agreeable landlord , just to give our 1 friend Daniel a call, and we warrant that they will be satisfied.

June 24—twit i A Word to Union Democrats. The Whigs say you are proscribed, therefore , “quit your party, desert your principles.” In reply, we say —Honest men join a party because it elevates them to office. In such appeals you are treated as base Judeans who will sell out for a consideration. Again ‘. suppose you bite at the bate, are you sure you will not be caught on a doubtful hook ? Has the Whig party even so much as mentioned the name of a Union Democrat for any office ? W 7 ho are their candidates for Governor, for Con gress, for the Legislature ? Whigs, none but Whigs. They want your votes, but they want the offices. They never say Turkey to you once. The Tune Changes. The Whig press of Georgia had raised so loud a la mentation over the presumption of Union Democrats, that we had just taken out our handkerchief to cry, when their tune changed and they waxed warm, and seemed augry at the charge which they have originated that Howell Cobb, in consideration of his alleged sup port of Johnson for Governor, is to receive the vote of the party for U. S. Senator. Really the Whig party is hard to please. They are angry if a Union Democrat is not elevated to every office, and outraged at the suggestion that one of them will receive the vote of the party for an office. Judge Johnsou’s Acceptance. Milleugevillk, June 15th, 1853. j Hon H erschel V. Johnson. JDear Sir : —At a Convention of the Demo- ! cratic party of Georgia, assembled, this day at this place, you were unanimously nominated as | the Democratic candidate, to be run for Governor ot’Georgia, at the election in October next. — And the undersigned were appointed by the I Convention a committee to advise you of your I nomination, and ask your acceptance oft-he same. Allow us to express our individual gratification at the selection and the harmonious action of the Convention, and to add the hope thr>t you will allow us the pleasure, at an early day, of; making known to the people of Georgia, your j acceptance. With sentiments of the highest esteem, We are, respectfully, your friends, A.E. COCHRAN, E. W. MORRIS, L. W. CROOK. Milledgeville, Ga., June 18th, 1853. \ Gentlemen :—I am honored by the receipt of your note of the 15th inst., in behalf of the late Democratic Convention, informing me of my unanimous nomination, by that body, “as the Democratic candidate, to be run for Governor of Georgia, at the election in October next.” Our political creed originated with Jefferson and Madison, and is co-eval with our Constitu tion. It has received the sanction and support of all sound republicans, from that to the pres ent day. It owes its most brilliant illustrations to the Administrations of Jackson and Polk,— It achieved its last victory in the election of General Pierce. During my short and unim portant career, it lias been the lamp to my feet and the light to my path. Often and over, have vve solemtdy_ adopted jt,J 11 ,our conyejjj jpits*. a&d. now again, it is inscribed upon our banner, and that banner is confided to my bands, during the heat and perils of the opening canvass. I re ceive it with diffidence ; but I am inspired and encouraged by the consciousness, that our prin ciples are as invincible and imperishable, as | the genius of liberty. To them vve are indeb ted for the glories of our past history, and upon their success, must depend the realization of our future hopes. The unusual size of the late Convention and the harmony of its action evince that the j great body of the Democracy are thoroughly \ aroused to a proper appreciation of their princi- | pies, and their united determination to maintain j them. This should be the occasion of sincere gratification to every true hearted democrat. To me, I confess, it is peculiarly so. The recent divisions in ou r party, resulting from honest dif ferences of opinion, touching a subject of great delicacy and embarrassment, have passed away, with the issues that produced them. The tem porary alienation that existed has ceased, and ! whatever acidity of feeling and intemperance of expression may have been indulged are forgot- | ten and forgiven, in the general fusion of senti- j ment which unites us in the bonds of political brotherhood. For this I have unceasingly la- j bored from the 10th of December, 1850, down 1 to the present day ; and for this, I shall contin ue to consecrate my feeble abilities, until it may be said emphatically, that the Democracy of ■ Georgia are “now and forever one and insepar- | I able.’’ To this end, I hum lily invoke a general j | spirit of kindness and mutual forbearance. It our late divisions have produced a tempo : rary paralysis in the action of the Democratic I party, there is a consideration that goes far to : compensate for the pain which its remembrance i awakens. It is the fact that, on our restora tion to health, we find ourselves strengthened by I the accession to our ranks, of many noble and j patriotic Whigs, who, during our recent tempo rary alienation, acted with one or the other of the divisions ofour party but now, rising above j the influence of former associations, have not i hesitated to affiliate with us. Feeling that our ; principles are the soundest and our policy the | wisest, they have yielded to them the tribute of i their sanction, and their suffrage. Thus united ! and reinforced, let each strive to excel his bro ; ther, in his alacrity to sacrifice personal pro- j ferences, in his efforts to heal local divisions, and i in his devotion to the best interest of our com mon country. Ihe Democratic party of Georgia is no sec tional organization, formed merej to obtain power, by the concealment of principles on the one hand, and on the other by presenting issues to the country which have been settled. It is an integral part of the national democracy, and its principles, inscribed upon every banner, are ‘‘known and read by all men.” That party,in I the late Baltimore Convention re-aftirmed those ( principles. It stands solemnly pledged to main- j tain the rights of the States and the integrity of tne Union. It triumphantly elected Gen Pierce, ! who, in his Inaugural address, reiterated the i pledge, and avowed his determination to redeem it, in the conduct of his administration. It is due, therefore, to our brethren throughout the confederacy, and to our President, who looks to us for support, under his heavy responsibilities, that we rally, with zeal and harmony, and disre gard every effort to decoy us, by false pretences, from our alleg : ance to our common standard. Hence, for all who desire, in good faith, to sus tain his administration and to realize the hope, “that the constitu ion of our country, at home, and her rights and honor abroad, will be main tained,” their true position is, in the ranks ot the Democratic party. Looking to the locality of Georgia, her bound less means of wealth and power, her increasing population and her flourishing improvements, it requires no extraordinary prescience to discover, that a high destiny awaits her, if her councils shall he directed by a far reaching and liberal i policy. The cause of popular education, the vigorous prosecution of enlightened enterprise, in Agricul ture, Internal Improvements, and the Mechanic Arts, and the development of her natural re sources, should march hand in hand. Each is indispensable to the other, and all to the pros perity of our State. It shall be mv pleasure, as jit will be my duty,fin every position to which I j may be called, to exert my feeble influence, in ! every legitimate and proper way, for the pro : motion of these great interests. I repeat the expression of profound gratitude | to the Democracy of Georgia, for the honor con ! ferred upon me ; and to you, gentlemen, 1 ten | der my acknowledgments, for the kind terms, 1 in which y-ou have advised me of the action ot ! the Convention. Respectfully, Your ob’t Servant. HERSCHEL V. JOHNSON. Messrs. A. E. Cochran, E. W. Morris, L. W. I Crook, Committee. Democratic State Convention. The proceedings of the Gubernatorial Con vention are this day placed before our readers. The demonstration was one of rare power — eighty counties being represented, and the num- i her of delegates rising above three hundred.— ! The deliberation of the Convention was mar- j j ked by a spirit of forbearance and conciliation, i I which argues happily for the result ot the cam- j | paign. No acrimonious discussion embarrass-i ed their action, and no senseless recurrence to j : the !past marred the fair prospect of the fu- j : lure. The members addressed themselves to the grave work before them, with a determina tion to yield all private predilections and preju dices to the good of tho Democratic party. — I After a patient and protracted consultation, the | nomination was conferred upon the Hon Her j schel V. Johnson, of Milledgeville, and we feel ; bound to say that the indication of the Demo i cratic sentiment was altogether unmistakeable. | Taking the start from the beginning, he rose | steadily and rapidly through the five ballotings i until he received the suffrages of two-thirds of j the Convention. A demonstration of this char -1 acteris not to be misinterpreted. It establishes the fact plainly and conclusively, that Judge Johnson is the choice of the Democratic party ■ of Georgia. It convinces the friends of the ! opposing candidates that the voice of the Con i vention is only the echo of the voice of the j people. 1 _A number of distinguished gentlemen were.j before the (Convention—all o's iViem worthy— all of them surrounded by ardent friends. But! it is impossible for more than one man to be | nominated, and it became the duty of the Con- i vention to confer the honor upon him who seem- i ed most acceptable to the greatest number.— j That Judge Johnson was that man, is beyond j a controversy. The Convention was compo sed of three hundred men, and two thirds of them gave him their support. If he is not the favorite of the Democratic party of Bibb, he is | very plainly the favorite of the Democratic party i of Georgia , and that fad is amply enough to en i title him to our cordial, active, energetic support. ; To yield to the voice of the majority when fair ly elicited, and plainly spoken, is the true Dem- j : ocratic doctrine. It is the great article of our j creed. 2nd can never be violated without a de- j parturo from the Democratic faith. A ripe scho lar, an accomplished lawyer, an able Judge, an unflinching Democrat, Herschel V. Johnson is well worthy to lead us into action. In every position which he has yet occupied he has gain- | ed an accession of reputation. In private life, i pure, upright, and amiable, in public life, active ; \ intelligent, and efficient, his name deserves to j be greeted with the respect which is ever due J • to a long career of faithful and honorable ser- j i vice. He needs no introduction to the Demo crats of Georgia. He has fought with them on I many a battle field, and has not issued inglori : ously from the contest. The Democratic party j | have now entrusted him with their banner, and ! bade him take the field. It is their bounden , ; duty to follow him into the fight, and to save ! j their old flag from trailing in the dust. The ! best proof which men can give of their capacity j I to command is the good service which they per- j | form in the ranks. We hope to see all the gen- ’ ! tlemen who were before the Convention, give j i that proof in tho coming campaign. We ; ! hope, and we believe that all the Democrats in ; the Slate will rally around their nominee, and , never rest satisfied until they place him in the j Executive Chair, with a majority worthy of our ; cause. The Democracy of Bibb had their favo- 1 rite. But the Democracy of Bibb never break ; ranks ! They stood firm in the hour of peril, ! and they will not desert now. On the contrary, j ve believe that they will more than sustain— they will if possible even increase—their well earned reputation as the Banner County of the old Democracy 7 ! Telegraph. The Weather and the Crops. —The weather continues dry,and the country is literallyburniug up. 22d of March, there have been 1 but few showers, and those were only partial in their fall, some sections not having had a drop |of rain since that time. The crops of course are most unpromising, although good seasons ! may yet possibly bring out and save the cotton i.erop. Corn is beyond ledemption. That itnpor | taut crop is almost a total failure. Probably not five bushels to the acre will be averaged. We have observed that on the pine lands corn is larger and suffers less from the drought than on the better lands. The fall of rain on the Bth, mentioned in our last, was taken advan tage of by some to re-plant with the hope of at least making bread. Others are waiting for an other season to plant the Guinea Corn for stock. How the thing will end w'e know not—but there ( is now every prospect of no provision cron It is fortunate for our section that New 0 1, is so near—otherwise we should anticipate S suffering consequent upon this failure \ is, supplies can be obtained at a small adv * * on the price at which corn ordinary sells in"£ market.— Floridian <S? Journal June 18. Another false Prophet.— The Foreign paper , by recent arrivals state that “in Syria, there h u i been much talk of the new faith which had been started in Persia, by the apostate Mahomedan Shiekh Babee, who denies the authenticity of the Koran, and will not recognize any but God Moses, David, and himself. He had made many converts in Persia, and is giving the Schah much trouble. Babee has pronried his followers that he will bring back to life all who are killed in de fending the faith.” Southern School Journal.— We have received the June number of this valuable paper, devoted to the cause of education, and published by Rev. Thomas F. Scott, at Columbus, monthly, at one dollar a yeas. The editor combines much ability with a through knowledge of the subject, and if his labors were half appreciated, his sub scription list w ould be increased tenfold. It is a reproach to onr section that such a work should depend for support on the private resour ces of the proprietor. —Spirit of the South. Altered Bank Bids. —We were told yesterday that one dollar bills of the Bank of Savanuah altered to fives, were in circulation in this city. The alteration is so neatly done, that one v as pas sed to the teller of one of our banks without do tectiun.

On the top of the bill near the centre are two female figures. One is seated upon a Cotton bale, and the other has just stooped and plucked a boll of Cotton, which she is holding up in her hand.
