Himts mtfr ftwAixitL ~ COLUMBUS, GEORGIA. SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 26, 1855. Congressional Convention, 2d District. We suggest that the Democratic Congressional Conven tion for the Second District be held at Americus, on Wed nesday, 11th July next. The Supreme Court will be in session at that time in Americus. What say our Demo cratic cotemporaries to this suggestion? The time and place ought to be agreed upon at once. wtwld. Virginia Election. Up to the time of going to press, we have not received the first item of news from the Virginia Eelection. We en tertain no fears of Mr. Wise's defeat. SOUTHERN UNION. Some further though‘s upon the Democratic Platform. In our leader upon the Platform adopted by the Democratic party of Muscogee we passed by one or two very interesting features which we now design to bring prominently before the public. The most important is the subject embraced in the 9th Resolution. After declaring the position of the Democratic party upon the issues involved between the North and the South in the Kansas quarrel, and pledging themselves not to affiliate with any party at the North, or elsewhere, that would not approve aud carry out in good faith the principles of the Nebraska Kansas act, the Convention took up the vitally important subject of Southern union. Two modes of effecting this object wgr© presented to the Convention for consideration; Fiist, to renouuce our allegiance to the Democratic party, and call upon all Southern men to join us with out distinction of party upon the Platform wo had erec ted. There were several objections to this line of policy. Ist. It had been tried iu 1850 and tailed of the desired object though the necessities of were much more pressing then than now. 2d. In a movement of so much importance it was thought un advisable to take an iarevoeable step forwards without consultation with the leading patriots in the various Southern States, and without pledges of co-operation from the various parries, cliques and orders into which the Southern people were divided. It is neeedless to add that no such consultation had been bad ; that no such co-operation was pledged. On the contrary, a proposition of this sort had been made in good faith in an organ of the Demooratia party some months gone, and instead of eliciting favorable men tion, had been ignored by the Democratic press of the State, and was scouted by the opposition press. 3d. The Democratic party was the only living political or ganization in the Southern States, except the Know Nothing order, and it was apprehended that if it were disbanded, the people might be lured into the council ohambers of an association of whose purposes and ob jects the best and truest men in the South entertained the most lively apprehensions. 4th. Assurances had been given by leading Whigs in the State that if a proper platform were adopted by the Demcratic State Convention shortly to assemble in Milledgeville and an unobjectionable candidate nominated for Governor, they would waive their prejudices to the organization and join with us in the building up of such a great party at the South as would unite all good and true men in every portion of the Union and thus secure the supremacy of the constitution, the rights of every section under it, and the admistration of the Government upon true Republican principles. iCVer Know Nothings and demagogues may think of these considerations, they were controlling ones with the patriotic Democracy of Musoogee county. They, therefore, resolved that they would meet their Demooratio brethren in State Convention and refer to the assembled wisdom of the party, in Convention as sembled, the high and holy duty of determining the most effectual means of attaining the union of the South in the defense of the rights of the South. And this is the spirit, meaning and intent of the 9th Resolution of the Platform of the Muscogee Democracy. That that pa triotic body will meet the question referred to them by the Democracy of Musoogee in the spirit of ens lightened patriotism, we do not entertain the shadow of a doubt. The Democracy of Georgia have not been lagged in the assertion of Southern rights. In the terrible contest of 1850, they were arrayed in solid column upon the fighting line, and they must prove recreant to all the glorious memories of the past if they are not in the van in 1855. If, therefore, the Con vention of sth June shall meet with propositions from other political organizations in the State, in whose pledges they can place reliance, to break down the par tition wall, as thin as paper, which separates the old po litical organizations of the State, for the purpose of lay ing down the basis of a larger and more comprehensive platform whose eole object shall be to secure the supremacy of the Constitution, the rights of every section under it, and the administration of the Federal Government upon true republican principles, tve that euoh propositions will be received and acted upon in good faith and with an eye single to the good ’ of the country. We hope, therefore, that neither Whigs nor Demo crats who are anxious to promote the union of the South, upon sound principles, for the defense of the South will give a moment’s heed to the bypoorilicai pr sessions of devotion to Southern Union now so lustily rung in their ears by the members of the Know Nothing order. It is madness to believe that the Southern Democracy ever can or ever will 00-operate with a party which strikes a deadly blow at the most sacred principles of human rights. If the members of that order are really anxious to promote Southern union, the first thing they must do is to withdraw from an association which num bers among its most honored members such deadly ene mbs to the South and sueh traitors to the constitution as Gardner and Wilson, of Massachusetts,Trumbull, of Indiana, and Hale, of New Hampshire. As long as they continue to affiliate with sue!* monsters, the De mocracy will wage eternal war upon them and there can be no union of the South for the defense of the South. Burke County. — At a meeting of the Democracy of Burke county, Messrs. Sapp, Jones, Schley, Anthony and Hutchins were appointed Delegates to the Guber natorial Convention. The following resolution was un animously adopted ; Resolved , That we deem it inexpedient for the Democrats of the Bth Congressional District to nomi nate a candidate for Congress at the ensuing election, and that we believe it to be their duty to support, with out regard to former party relations, some candidate who is openly and ovowediy hostile to the order of Know Nothings—an order not less dangerous to the peace and stability of our institutions than abolitionism itself. Agreeable were gratified this afternoon to welcome Mr. Moore, §f the Savannqh Republican, to our City, Know Nothing Liberality.— The Savannah Re publican, a Know Nothing paper, discourages its party from opposing the re-election of A. H. Stephens and Howell Cobb to Congress. “The welfare,” says the Republican, “not of Georgia alone, nor of the South, but of the whole Union requires the return of these men to Congress.” If this policy is adopted the bud* ding ambition of many young “Samivels” in the 6th and Bth districts will be blighted by an untimely frost. The State Road. —We find in the Empire Slate a communication from Maj. Cooper, Superintendent of the Western and Atlantic Railroad, giving a very full and satisfactory exposition of the management of the State Road during the present year. We are fully satisfied that his management has been eminently suc cessful, and that most, if not all the complaints that have been made against him are utterly unfounded. Democratic Nomination. —The Democratic Con* vention, which assembled at Forsyth, a few days ago, nominated J. M. Smith, Esq., of Upson county, on the 17th balloting, as the Democratic candidate for Con gress from the third district. Mr. Smith is a rising young lawyer of respectable talents. Mr. Smith, we learn, is a self made man, having spent his youth in the field and black smith shop, and .acquired his poeitiou by his unaided efforts. It is the boast of Democracy that it honors snob men. Mr. Toombs’ Letier.—We learn that Mr. Toombs’ letter on the subject of Know Nothingism was mailed to us at Milledgeville, some time last week. We regret to add that it has never come to hand. The whole country is looking for its appearance with intense anxiety. We hope Mr. Toombs will pick hls flint and try it again. —mm —ea- Local News. Clothing.—The fashions for the summer are much more to our taste than they have been for several years past. The flowing skirts relieve tall gentlemen from the picked-turks y air they wore for two years past.— ■No man can avoid the reproach of wearing old clothes who does not order anew supply for the season. To such persons as desire to make a good and fashionable appearance this season, at the fashionable summer re sorts, we would suggest the propriety of consulting the advertisements of J. H. Daniel & Thomas, and of I. A. Brokaw & Cos. Both firms have a large supply of elegant goods of all descriptions and have in their em ploy Tailors who can fit you to a T. Summer Resorts.—Our old friends, R. T. Marks, of the White Sulphur Springs, and James Wooten, of the Chaylebeate Springs, again solicit the public atten tion to the superior claims of their watering plaoes as summer resort for the Southern people. The first step in the formation of a Southern party, now so popular with most of our citizens, is to cut off* all social and commercial dependence on the North, and as example is better than preoept, we expect to find all our red hot patriots in the mountains of Meriwether, this summer. Invalids had, therefore, better secure rooms at ones, as the hotels will, in all probability, be crowded. We feel free to promise all who call at either watering a most hospitable entertainment. Auction Sale oe Negroes.—Messrs. Haftlon, Austin & McGehee will sell in front of the jwrket House on the first Tuesday in Juno, several likelySf.se servants. See advertisement for further particulars. Trial of the Gunnison Murderers—Mormons Suspected of Foul Play. Washington, May 21, 1855. All the facts and circumstances connected with the trial of the Indians charged with the murder of Capt. Gunnison and his party are now in the possession of the President of the United States, and I learn that he not only attributes the escape of the murderers to Mormon intrigue, but suspects the Mormons themselves of being concerned in the horrible massacre. This is the conclusion which will be arrived a* from the official reports made, and the result will be a very positive course towards the “Latter Day Saints.” What that course will be I have not exactly learned, but I under stand that immediate steps will be taken to prostrate the in fluence and power of Brigham Young, and to come to an issue at once with these people. This same thing has had to be done before. Illinois found it necessary to resort to the military arm of the State to lop off excrescences; and Missouri, too, drove the Mormons from her borders at the point of the bayonet. The issue with the people has to be met, and the sooner the better for all parties. Hon. A. H- Colquitt. The Columbus Times Sentinel of the 19th informs us that Mr. Colquitt feels himself obliged to decline a re-nomi nation by his party. We have for some time past regarded this point as settled, and being well advised of the obstacles in the way of his occupying the post the party so much de sired him to accept, we have concurred with our friend in the propriety of the course he has determined upon. Maj Colquitt retires from active political service, after having se cured as large a share of public confidence and respect as any man ot his age who ever served his State. In the first place, he evinced a tact, an industry and ability, in his first canvass, that took the country by surprise, and we believe we only repeat the universal opinion of lower Georgia, when we say that me happy results of our State election in 1853, were, in a very eminent degree, attributable to the efforts of Maj. Colquitt in the 2d Congressional District. — His party, and his friends of all parties, are abundantly satis fied with his stewardship while upon duty as a representa tive of the State, and while we offer him our most cordial sympathy and condolence under’his oppressive bereavement, we feel bound to say, that nothing but a strong sense enter tained by his constituency of his right to the sacred retire ment to his home under present circumstances, intfhees them to relinquish their claim upon him, especially at this time. — Atlanta Intelligencer. Know Nothing Nominations in Mississippi. —The Know Nothings/it is stated, have nominated Gen. Fontaine, of Ponotoc, for Governor of Mississippi. He is of the Quitman school of politics—ultra state rights For Secre tary of State, A. G. Horn, of Clark county, and editor of the Quitman Intelligencer—formerly a whig. For Auditor of Public Accounts, F. L. Swan, of Hindes county — a Union democrat. For State Treasurer, Colonel Smith, of Mar shall—a Henry Clay Whig. For Judge of the High Court of Error and Appeals, C. P Smith, of Wilkinson county— a Union democrat. For Clerk of the Superior Court of Chancery, J. C. Carpenter, of Hinds county—a Union democrat. , . ~. , „ t For Congress the same party has nominated for the first district, B. D. Nabers; third, Lockhart E. Houston , fourth, W. A. Lake ; and for the fifth, Hiram Cassidy. All are democrats, except Mr. Lake. The Storm. On Wednesday evening, abont half-past ten o’clock, we were visited with a storm of wind, accompanied with thun der, lighting, and hail —the latter for a short space of time very heavy. We are pleased to learn, however, that but little damago was done in the city, further than uprooting some shade trees, and twisted off the limbs of others, vv e have not learned the extent of its range, but are fearful it has done material injury’ to the growing crops of Corn and Cotton which, from tne violence of the wind, must have been prostrated.— Con. Rep.,'2oth. “Sam” a native of Rome. —Martin Luther gave this account of the order which bears very decided resemblance in many respects to the present organization : “In Italy there was a particular order of Friars, caned Fratres Jgnorentias —that is. Brethren of Ignorance— who took a solemn oath that they would neither know, learn, nor understand anything at all, but answer all things with Neseio— 1 1 know nothing.’ Lather's Tct* hU Talk, No . 437 For the Times & Sentinel. Columbus, May 26,1855. Gentlemen: —My attention has been called to that por tion of your report of my remarks made at the meeting on Wednesday last, in whichthe namesof Mr. John A. Jones, Wiley Williams and other Southern Democratic Know Nothings were spoken of as associated with certain obnox ious Northern Abolitionists, in the contemplated National Convention, at Philadelphia, of the Know Nothing party of the United States. Understanding that an improper con struction has been put upon the remarks made by me, I take the earliest occasion to say, that I had no intention to as sert or intimate that these gentlemen were delegates to that Convention —I have no knowledge or information as to who are the delegates from Georgia or any other State to that Convention. The language and object of my remarks were simply to show and depricate the .perry association into which South ern Know Nothings would be brought with Northern Abo litionists in that Convention by being represented in it. 1 mentioned the names of the gentlemen referred to, because they had that day taken an active part in the meeting, and were generally recognized as members of the Know Nothing order in this city. No remark that I made on the occasion alluded to, was intended to cast any personal reflections or imputations upon those gentlemen or any other person. Respectfully, ALFRED IVERSON. Editors Times & Sentinel. From Washington. Interesting Despatches from Spam—Lord Palmer ston’s views on Cuba—The Virginia Election. Washington, May 22. The last steamer from Europe has brought increas ed troubles to the government. Mr. Perry’s despatch', es to the department represent repeated interviews with the Minister for Foreign Affairs, and the final summing up is that Her Catholic Majesty’s government is in so embarrassed a condition from her internal affairs, that further action on the demands of the United States is impossible for the present. The injurous consequences likely to follow this course of aotion was openly and distinctly set forth by our acting Minister, but without effect, the invariable answer being that concessions to the United States, at this moment, would drive from power the Queen’s present advisers favored the redress called for by the United States, astl establish a government in its stead opposed to liberal principles and to the granting of the smallest demand now claimed by the American government. The statement published some months since by the Union, of a final and satisfac tory settlement of the Black Warrior affair, receives its contradiction by the last arrival, and our department is now informed that time will be required to give the mat ter a further consideration. The El Dorado assault, particulars of which the Madrid government some months since acknowledged reoeipt of, has again beeu referred, for further action and information, to the government of Cuba ; and the answer to Secretary Maroy’s letter concerning the outrage upon our Consul, Mr. Thompson, is a cool promise that it will meet with due attention in its turn, aud that justice shall be had. The exact wording of the despatches received, I do not prtend to give, but the accuraoy of their meaning is to be found in the above. The effeot upon Seoretary Maroy, after their perusal, was sufficient to cause a rath er violent departure of the papers from his hands upon the desk before him, accompanied with the significant expression from him of-—“ The damned fools,” alluding to the Spanish ministry. Leaving Spain, a similar system of diplomacy is found to prevail in her Cuban colony—American rights resis ted, redress refused, and fresh outrages almost daily committed upon Amerioan citizens and the American flag; and our government here, if not giving to these almost innumerable wrongs an approval, its vacillating and weak policy is all that treacherous Spain requires for a continuance of her present policy with the United States. It is, however, possible that our government has, within a day or two past, determined upon a more definite course of action towards Cuba. Our Navy and War Departments are more than usually busy, and very large numbers of naval officers arrived lately is town from orders received to report themselves at head quarters without delay. Mr. Dobbin, I learn, was tel egraphed by the President himself, to return immedi ately, and Mr. Guthrie, it is probable, has already arri ved, he being expeoted to-day. The oontrary is the in telligence received from Mr. Buchanan. Lord Pal merston has strongly asserted that it is not the inten tion of her Majesty’s government to interfere in the least with United States in the settlement of its affairs with Spain, and warmly commends the ‘‘judicious and forbearing policy that has thus far characterized the relations of the United States with Spain.” Betting to-day is largely in favor of Wise —his elec tion is regarded as certain.— N. Y. Herald 23 d. The Case of Colonel Kinney. Philadelphia, May 21. The case of Col. Kinney came up before Judge Kane this morning. Mr. Dallas, his counsel, argued for a re daction of bail, and demanded a speedy trial. He also read a number of affidavits—one, that of the owner of the steamer, which states that there was no armament nor powder on board,fhd that the intended expedition was (or colonizing only ; also, stating that the steamer had been ready for sea since the 7th inst., and that the delay renders Col. K. liable fur $1,200 a day’ demurrage. Mr. Dallas also submitted an account of the hearing in New York, and closed by repeating the demand for an early trial. Mr. Vandyke, the District Attorney, stated his inabil ity to bring up the ease before two weeks, on account of the absence of the witnesses. Mr. Dallas said that the delay would be fatal to the expedition, aud it might as well be delayed two months as two weeks. After fur ther conversation, the case was postponed until the next term, two weeks hence, with the understanding that the sailing of the expedition need not be delayed. The de fendant renewed his bail in the same amount as previously given. Heavy Damages—Norwalk Bridge Catastrophe. . Boston, May 21. The jury in the case of Dr. Browne against the New Haven Railroad Company, have returned a verdict for the plaintiff, assessing the damages in $16,000.

Rumored Revolution on the Rio Grande* New Orleans, May 21, A revolution, it is reported, has broken out on the Rio Grande, Mexico, and fifteen hundred men, headed by Carvajsl and others, had crossed the river. John P. Hale. —Hale’s chances for the Senatorship of New Hampshire are said to be growing desperate, ‘lhe Know Nothings smell a faint in the O’Brien blood. The case of this ardent lover of the Irish (before Know Noth ingism appeared) reminds us of that Esq., Logan, broth er to Miss Logan, the aetr>ss.?ln Cincinnati, last October, i he was in the habit of making democratic speeches, iu which he boasted of his Irish blood. But the Know i Nothings made a clear sweep in everything in the shape . of an office, and Logan thought his best chance for a , grab at the spoils was in joining the Order. He did so, . was its candidate for Prosecuting Attorney, and was ; defeated at tbo last election. Who will not say he has j met his just reward ? W&Q jg \hsrs to mourn loss of j Logan.— Boston Post.

From Massachusetts.—The New Liquor Law-^Propos ed Meeting of Liquor Dealers, Etc. Boston, May 19, 1855. The new liquor law will go into effect to-morrow. — During yesterday and to-day the unusual activity of the wholesale and retail trade in despatching demijohns and mysterious packages to all parts of tho city and suburbs, will probably prevent a serious liquor famine for a few days. On Monday next the liquor dealers will hold a pub lic meeting at Faneuil Hall. The Legislature adjourned over to Monday, this after noon, when they will probably adjourn sine die. The Governor has not yet signed the Personal Liberty bill—a nullification document —and the members threaten to remain until he does. The weather this evening is cloudy, indicating rain. The Hurricane Last Night. As we closed our columns, after 12 o’clock last night, a violent galo of wind from the north-west commenced—un hinging shutters, blowing down trees, and doing other dam 1 - age within hearing of our office. Bo sudden and violent was the wind, that it broke in one of tho heavy doors of A. Bonaud’s grocery establishment, at the corfier of Bull and Bay streets, forcing it irom its fastenings, and wrenching the shutters from oue of the large windows of his store. We have reason to fear that much injury has been sus tained by the shipping in port, and cannot but be apprehen sive of serious results to vessels along tho coast. Fortune ately, however, the wind was off shore, and may have driven them out to sea. At one o’clock this morning, the gale partially subsiding, a rain followed, and as we close this paragraph, seems to have started afresh. Tho one o’clock train on the Central Road arrived safely at its t usual time.— Sav. Rep.,2\th. The Hiss Case. Boston, May 23. Chief Justice Shaw has decided that the Massachusetts Legislature has the power to expel Mr. Hiss, and remanded him to jail, where he is detained for debt. Washington Items. , Washington, May 23. Secretary Dobbin has returned to this city, greatly impro ved in health. The Washington Union of this morning commends the removal of a workman from the Gosport Navy-Yard for being a Know-Nothing, and indicates that all Know-Noth ings holding office under the Federal Government will be proscribed. A Strange Slave Case, and Sudden Death* Cincinnati, May 21. Elijah Williams, a rich planter of Barnwell, S. C., arrived in this city to-day with eight negroes, one of which was his wife, six his children, and the other his wife’s mother. The object of his visit here was to manumit the whole and settle them in this State. Just, however, as be stepped from the steamboat into a carriage he fell dead.— Tho negroes having been brought here are of course free under our State laws. Mr. Williams had previously will ed the whole of his estate to the negroes. Spain and the Allies. i The Madrid journals are beginning to occupy them i selves with the accession of the government of Queen Isa bella to the Anglo-French alliance. One of these journ als—the Espana —enumerating the advantages which this alliance has already procured for Fiedment, says “We also, if wo were disposed to despatch an expedition of 15,000 or 20.000 volunteers to the armies of the East, would be sure of obtaining from the two allied Powers, first:—a guarantee for the integrity of our colonies, but more especially of Cuba; secondly, the assurance on the part of Englaud of a loan of ten or fifteen millions of hard cash ; and thirdly, the certainty that France would compel the Court of Rome to sanction the sale of the estates of the j church.” North Carolina Politics. A dispatch from Raleigh, dated May 18th, announces that “the Democratic Convention, which assembled at Franklinton to-day, to nominate a candidate for Congress from that district, nominated Mr. L. O.
