Hid. DISTRICT DAVID J. BAII.EY. lVth DISTRICT W. R. W. DENT. Vih. DISTRICT E. W. CHASTAIN. The of the Conservative Party of Georgia—The Present Canvass. We have no doubt but that the object of the Con servative party of Georgia, in its assumption of a South ern face at this time, is to play tl e part of Judas. This is no new game with the politicians of this sehool. It is their trick in the game of politics —one peculiar to them—at which they have practised incessantly, and lave acquired an expertness in its performance which will command the applause of professional men. While they belonged to the Whig party, and follow, ed the lead of Clav, they incontinently swore that they were neither Bank men, nor Tariff men, nor Internal Improvement men, but straight-laced Republicans ol the Sta e Rights school. Many good men were gulled by the fierce asseverations of Toombs and the oily per suasiveness of Stephens, and were so blinded by the prejudices they cherished in their bosoms that they never discovered their error, even when Clay was the | candidate sf their party for President —Clav, the em bodiment of the American system, and the fieicest and greatest enemy of State Rights and Southern Rights which this generation has produced. When the discussion commenced upon the applica tion of the Wilmot Proviso to the Mexican territories, by which slavery would be forever excluded from them, no men in the South were more zealous in their denun ciations of this odious measure than the leaders of the Conservative party. Even Mr. Calhoun was accused by them of lack of zeal in the cause of the South, and they joined the Free Soiiers in defeating the Clayton compromise, in which the whole question was referred to the Supreme Court of the United States, preferring, they said, to keep the subject in their own hand*, and pledging themselves to the country, by the moit solemn asseverations, never to consent to the erection of Gov ernments in the Terri ories until the Mexican law abol ishing slavery was repealed. They thus took upon ! themselves a heavy responsibility. They defeated a ; compromise approved by the great leaders of Southern > opinion with the aid of Free Soil votes. The irritating | question was kept open for another year. The country j was shaken to its centre by the fierce conflicts which j ensued between the North and the South. The times i were perilous, and good men trembled in anticipation j of a eivii war, the dissolution of the Union, and the loss j of our liberties. Then these sticklers for the rights of i the South quite forgot their pledges to the South, join ed the Union party, passed the Clay Compromise, ‘ left the Mexican law abolishing slavery in full force, de- 1 graded and insulted the South by deserting her in lur i utmost need, consented to the exclusion of her brave ■ citizens from the soil they had won by their valor, and gave the North a certain fixed and controlling majority in the Federal Government. These are the men who now, under the name of Conservative*, profess to be the peculiar fiicnds of the South. Judas! Judas! They betray with a kiss; they smil. , and stab under the fifth rib. They arc pre paring for a repetition of their trick. Beware ! We are astonished at the recklessness with which they sport with the best infer* sts of the country. We cannot believe they would knowingly imperil the public | liberties or sacrifice fa e South to their selfish purposes ; but the record shows that they will hazard both tv gratify their political an mosities and keep themselves in high station. What other explanation cm they give of their adhesi<>n to the \\ big party for twelve years, when they publicly repudiated most of the cardinal principles of the \\ big patty ? What other excuse ean tl * \ giv* for tin ir opp< sitarn to the Clayton Compro ini e, when tiny greet'd) swallowed the Clay Compro mise ? How shall we acconut for their zealous sup port < f YY ebsTkr, the life long enemy of the South and the father of Free Suilit-m, and their frantic war upon I ierce, who has never flinched fxotn a bold and fear less defense of Southern Rights? They must and will liave power, at any and ev ry sacrifice. The game they are now playing is of a piece with their antecedent history, and though the hazard of the South is not so great, it is imminent enough to excite the liveliest apprehensions. We have a sound North ern man in the Pr<sidtntial chair, who has given al most all his important offices to Southern men, and is strainiug every nerve to build up a sound party at the North. All the ConseivatNe men of his party at the North have rallied to his support. Theie is a fair prospect of saect B*. llis administration is eminently popular. Even the fitreest of the Fire-eaters are well withers of President Pierce, The hopes of Southern patriots have revived—they look with hope to the fu ture ; the harsh cry of disunion is stifled in the land ; the bow of promise bangs bright and prophetic of peace upou the political Uoriz >n ; Free Soilers are recanting their errors and coming back under the national stand ard ; the power of the Abolitionists is partially broken ; there 16 nothing needed now but a firm and unbr< ken front at the South in support of the Adininistiatlon, to guarantee the triumphant success of sound principles in the Federal Administration. But alas ! Ephraim is joined to his idois—the glory of the victory will not set tle upon the heads of Toombs and Stephens —they have gained no laurels in the war, and like Jeroboam, the son of Nebut, they cry, 4> To your teutsq O Israel !” “the South is in danger!”—and they have ertoted an other standard, and their unthinking legions bristle for the war. And pray, where do they hope for recruits ? The national Democracy, in which is congregated the conservatism of the North, will not join them. The r recruits must be from the Whig ranks—the Free Soil Whig ranks of the North ; and even if they succeed in the fight, a viotory with such allies must be a defeat. We religiously believe that the safety of the South is suspended upon .the triumph of the national Democracy. Our ouly frieDds aa r ts in its ranks. Let us, then, go up gallantly to the fight, and let our watchword be, “ God and our native sand,” .ana may the Father of Lights il lumine the public mind,. MJ'4 firing the contest to a happy issue!

To the Voters of Galveston County. I have been strongly urged by my numerous friends (who are all A. No. 1,) to become a candidate to rep resent you in the next Legislature. Like a true pa triot, I have consented to sacrifice mv private interest* to the public good. Without vanity, I rnay say, all I who know me will admit, that iS elected, I will origin ate and execute many acts in Austin, that no one of the candidates before you will ait< mpt. I pledge myselt j that I will keep a watchful eye over the morals of h gis ! lation and legislators. No one wdio knows me will | doubt, if I choose to exercise the power, that members w.il be compelled to observe the rules of propriety, in stead of indulging, as I fear is too often the case, in nocturnal revels, at improper places and unseemly hours. Reform is necessary. I am the man to effect it—in fact, the only man that can and will do it. lam a Jeff, rsonian, Jackson Democrat. In truth, I was so born. \, lam progressive. I may say a fast one. I go for the greatest good to the greatest number. I am in favor of giving homes to the homeless, and houses U* the houseless. I advocate the education of the masses, by a tax upon wealth. I b iieve that earth, air and water, is a gift of the good God to all. That all are entitled to as much us is necessary for their use. More than this is a mo nopoly, anu I oppose all monopolies. I am in favor of Barks, if a plan can be invented to establish >ne to loan money to the poor, industrious, honea man, without security. lam a “Young American.” I adopt their bounda ry—-east by the rising and west by the netting nun ; north by the Arctic expedition, and south—as far aa we please. This is a great country, and le&s than this would not suit our put poses, I abhor old fogies, whether as politicians, warriors, husbands or lovers. I wish this distinctly understood. I disavow the creed of “all thing* unto all men,” but adopt it decidedly as regards the ladies. lam for woman’s rights on the largest scale-. If we do not yield them equality, I fear they will refuse to multiply and replenish the earth, as they have threaten ed to do. And every unprejudiced mind must admit that they become our v. ives not to pleasure themselves but us. lam too modest to enumerate all my good qualities and qualifications for office. I leave ali self praise to my competitors. I think, however, without vanity. I may say that, if electee, I will be more dis tins* uished than any representative you have had. You will be proud of me. My name will be familiar to all, and daily seen in the public prints. I am an old Texan, one of the found, rs of Galves ton. I have shed much blood for the good of the peo ple. I have done the State some service. I ask in re lurn, your votes. 1 will see most of you before the election, and w ill address you before the public, 1 am opposed to the practice < f treating, but when invited w ill be happy to take a glass with any one. In this particular I make no distinction in politics. Jack Mills. P. S. I forgot to say that 1 nm in favor of the next war. Progress ol Disease in New Orleans. According to the True.

The Steamers Florida and Wm.

At that time different veisions of the affair were published in the papers, and from them the public were unable to decide which steamer was in the wrong The matter was brought before the United States District Court for this district, and we are informed that on yesterday his Honor Judge Nichol gave a de cision against the Florida, and awarding to the William Gaston about 1200 dollars damag. 8. — Sav Aieics. Death of Elisha Riggs. —This gentleman, long one of the most eminent baukers of this country, died in New Y ork, on W ednesday of last week, aged about 75 years. Mr. R. was a native of Maryland, and laid the foundation of his ample fortune in Baltimore, where he wa a member of the old house of Peabody, Riggs & Co.—-the first named gentleman, Mr. George Peabody, being sow of London. We see it stated in the Charleston Courier that a line of packets has been established to run regularly beetween that city and Newport, Fla., via St. Marks, Tampa Bay, and Cedar Keys. The line will consist of four first class schooners, commanded by experienc ed navigators, ami will leave Charleston on or about the first and fifteenth of each month, commencing on the Ist of October. Transportation will also be pro* vided with certainty and regular ty on the Suwannee river for all produce destined for, and coming from Charleston. The rates of freight will be reasonable.

SIT The Washington Union alluding to the Smyr na affair says : “It resulted in the giving up of Costa to the French Coosnl, to await the conclusion of the negotiations going on in regard to the whole matter. This esse may grow into still more consequence, but at all hazards the honor of our fag will be maintained .” Jj“ The amount received for admission* to the N. Y.

L FOR THE TIMES AND SL.NTIHEL.] Franklin College—Commencement Exercises. Mr. Editor : —Having attended the commencement exer cises at our State University, I cannot forego the pleasure of giving you a hasty sketch of the proceedings, with aorne remarks upon the position the institution now holds, and what it behooves the State to do in the present onward march she is making in mateiial and mental development. I did not reach Athens in time tor the first day’s proceed ing—which consisted of a Prize Declamation by members oi the Sophomore class. 11l may judge, however, from the opinions expressed by those assembled, Monday’s exer cises weie by no means the least attractive of the week. On Tuesday, the Junior exhibition came off, which was quite creditable; not more than four of the speakers, however, readied beyond a respectable exhibition of talent or train ing. These I should place in the order oi merit, as T. B. Cabaniss, of Forsyth, Subject—“ Genius of Milton.” J. B. Cummin, of Augusta, “Chatham and Clay.” G. A. Bull, of Lagrange, “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” This subject, a deli cate one for such an occasion, was admirably treated, al most faultless in style and sentiment. Tne speaker was interrupted by frequent applause, which was well merited. J H. Hull, of Athens, “Burke and Webster.’* This young gentleman has studied Burke but little, as he by no means did him justice ; yet, his manner was animated, and com position good. The morning exercises were concluded by an address to the Sophomore Prize Reclaimers and pre sentation of Medals by Hon. Herschel Y r . Johnson. Tho fortunate candidates were A. Law, of Savannah, and G. W. Callaway, of Lagrango. The address was admirably suited to the occasion. The Hon. gentleman dwelt elo quently upon the mission of eloquence, portrayed its power in the pulpit, where he gave its nobiest fie'd and most use ful exercise. He spoke of its uses and abuses, drew a most vivid picture of the contests of the Olympic games and physical prowess contrasted with the efforts of genius and mental acquirements. He presented some useful thoughts upon the culture of oratory, which showed that he had himself paid no little attention to it? avails. His manner and matter was highly applauded by every one. In the afternoon, Judge Campbell, of Mobile, delivered an address, b- fore the Society of the Ylurnni. His subject was the “Duties oi an American Citizen.” I would that every one in this broad land could read and study it. He began with a feeling allusion to the past—to the great men of Georgia j with whom it had been his good pleasure to have met on a ! similar occasion 27 years since—among those he particular- j ly designated the venerable Troup, who then, as the speak- | er said, was in the meridian oi his glory, who had but just ■ emerged from a contest with the general government a j victor in a cause which ha? since made his name theembodi- j ment of a principle. There was no need for lhetoricai dis- | play, no room for flashes of wit nor idle dalliance with; the graces. Eloquence was inherent in his argument ; j with a master power he elucidated clearly and logi cally the position of an American Citizen, his allegiance, his obligations, his rights, his independence. The people, he placed paramount to ail other source of power. The Constitution ruled Legislatures, the peopic ruled the Con stitution. His address was eminently philosophical— not as was asserted by many, metaphysical. His premises were facts, his deductions principles ; such a combination ofiogi eal force, analytical truth and practical application, so cl.;- iinetly and clearly condensed as to give effect to one ruling converging idea—the duty of an American citizen—l wii venture to say has never been equalled by an America? mind. Were Judge Campbell a metaphysician, I would place h_m with Cousin—were he a philosophical histo rian, I would rank him with Guizot. 1 wish space allowed me to go farther into a syhepris of this great effo.t. The distinctions between the governments of Europe, the right of Roman citizenship and those c-f our own—these were qo eommen place illustration no mere glancing at tL* out* lines of history, but a profound plfilosopbical investigation of principles. The address will of course be printed, and 1 hope to see it copied into every newspaper in the country. Wednctday was commencement day. The Senior Claes were about to appear for the last time, and bid adieu to scenes hallowed by so many recollections, and endeared by so many interests. The orations were creditable, withou* any marked ability being displayed by any. The Valedic tory, by Cooper, was delivered as usual. The Presi dent concluded the exercises ox the day with a practical address of advice and instruction to the class, which I sup pose they carried with them about as iar as the dinner table. However earnest and well disposed such an address may be, I very much question its propriety or adtanlage. Ad vice is always cheap. To bo sure, coming from such a source as in the present instance, it ought to be valuable ; but after long exercises, when every one is anxious to re tire, for the President to read over several pages of sage and serious matter “ lor guidance in future life/’ is time wasted. Bf sides, young men having attained maturity, if they have eyes to see and ears to hear and minds to understand, will learn for themselves how to pursue the right and eschew the wrong—those who have not, all the advice of sages, from Solomon down, wili not at all affect them. Thirty five were graduated. The degree oi Doctor of Divinity was conferred upon Rev J. Shannon, and Doctor of Laws upon Judge Campbell. On Thursday, J. E. Ward, Esq , of Savannah, delivered an address before the Literary Societies ; subject— Life. A boundless theme, and treated in a very discursive manner. His style was entirely illustrative, skimming over the sur- j lace of history for an instance, here and there, of battles j won and difficulties o’ereome. Some practical hints weie ! thrown out, and a happily turned expression now and then I elicited applause. The speaker very properly dwelt upon | the will as the great governor ol action, and the only eur* j lever of success, and occasionally we were indulged with a ! flower—but it was a common one—the rich fragrance of j rare exotics greeted us not at all—we strolled through a j garden but partial in its culture, hardiy stopping to admire j a single plant. The exercises were row closed, and the I crowd dispersed, all, doubtless, glad to get away from the j city, for the weather was hot, and the hotel acconimoda- j tions (?) execrable. . , I A word, now, as to the present condition and prospects ol our University, and the claims it has upon the State Gov ernment. lam told that the institution is now in a better condition than ever heretofore, a larger patronage is ex tended, and a stronger interest is being manifested in its progress. This is, so far, gratifying. But what is its pres ent condition 1 A tolerably efficient “ Faculty,” no doubt, but what material has this Faculty to operate with? The Library comprises only 10,000 volumes. The departments of Chemistry and Natural Philosophy afford at present but little advantages. The apparatus is deplorably deficient. The lecture rooms are mean, narrow, rough establishments that would disgrace a respectable back woods school house. Prof. La Compt, to whose courtesy l am indebted for a survey of these departments, feeie acutely the disadvantages under which ho labors, and indeed it is discouraging for a man of science to be thus cramped Again, there is not the ur&t element of a University. Many a respectable academy in the New England and Middle States affords advantages equal to tire University of the State of Georgia. It is in comprehensible to me how a Board of Trustees can find it in their hearts to make annual reports of the flourishing con dition -of the institution with such facts staring them in the face at every turn. The State furnishes the pitiful sum of $9,000 to sustain the Coliece; the remainder must be se cured by patronage, and tins patronage reduced by the half a score of sectarian schools, called colleges, springing up in all parts of the State, and one incessant system of beg ging is carried cn by almost'every one oi them. Georgia is called the “ Empire State of the South,” and her people love to repeat the phrase, but she is wofullv deficient in educational systems. There are numbers of academies and colleges, but not one that can ciaim a high rank. She has j progressed and is progressing in physical development, but we require some attention to her mental progress. 1 have written candidly what I believe to be the true state ; of the case as regards our University. could not content j myself with the unmitigated panegyrics with which the j newspapers abound in their reports of commencements, ed- ; ucationai prospects. &e. &e. By such means the people . oi the State are kept in ignorance of the true condition ol affairs, and even many of those who are constant attend ants and observers, but who have never enjoyed the oppor- ; tunity of contrasting ours with-otiier institutions, are induced to believe that they really hold a high position. Let the State become aroused to a sense of her duty, and make Franklin College equal to any in the Union. Marietta, Aug. 8, 1853.

Instead of a crowded room and manifestations of unusual ir.ffr* est, the attendance was moderate, j nd the oxen ises rather drugged. These things we pen in sorrow. 1 Would that it were otherwise. The committee re* : ported some very excellent resolutions, winch were | unanimously adopted. Tl e speech of Judge Mays ! was truthful, earnest and telling. We regret, that * all of our citizens were not present to hear it aid | exhibit as an keen interest.
