dimez untif BmiincL ’ COLUMBUS, GEORGIA. WEDNESDAY MORNING, OCr, 17* The Aext President—Wise. Hnchanait, Pierce. We published last week a communication fiom an esteemed friend upon this subject, in which Henry A. ! Wise was urged with much force upon the Democracy j ns the man for the crisis. We estimate very highly the services rendered by this bold champion to the cauoe of civil ancT religious liberty in the recent elections. To him, more than to any other man, is attributable the crowning victories achieved by the Democracy in the Southern States over the s-worn legions of “Sam,'’ and no man would hail with more delight than we the ele vation of the Hero Orator to the chief magistracy of the United S‘ates. And if the fight for the Presiden cy shall be between the Democracy and the Know Nothings in 1856, Henry A. Wise is unquestionably the man for the occasion. But we do not think “Sam” will be in the field in 1850. He is dead, we think, und is beyond the reach of resusitation. Ilis army is scat tered to the four winds of heaven, and can never be brouglu into the field again. A careful consideration of the signs of the times has brought us to the conclusion that the next enemy the Democracy will.be called on to fight and conquer, is the “Fusionists,” headed by William 11. Seward. The contest will be so far sec tional as the great body of the Northern people will be arrayed on one side under the specious mime of “Re publicans,” and the large mass of the Southern people will be arrayed on the other under the lead of the De mocracy. , The controlling question will be the power of Con gress over slavery in the Territories ; the one side claim ing for Congress the power to restrict slavery by re fusing to admit any more slave States into the Union, and the other side denying to Congress all power over the subject. If these views are eorreot, other conside rations than a man’s views on the Philadelphia Platform ought to govern the South in the selection of a candi date for Presidet of the United States. We would not of course, consent to the nomination of a Know Nothing for that high office ; such a politician has exhibited too little respect for the rights of man to be trusted with the powers of a chief executive of this great people. In comparison, however, with a man’s position on the slavery question, his views upon the subject of the naturalization laws and a religious test are of a very little moment in this great struggle between the North and the South. In selecting, therefore, a candidate for the Presidency, the South ought to be mainly influenced by his ca pacity to unite the South and bring Northern support to the cause of the South and the constitution. In this respect, there are several Northern statesmen who occupy a more commanding position than Henry A. Wise. Foremost in this noble band of patriots stands James Buchanan, of Pennsylvania. The recent glorious victory, in the Keystone State, of the Democ racy over the infamous Fusion party, which is hereafter to be our greatest enemy, gives to her gallant people the right to be consulted in the selection of the next President and we are quite sure that our Minister to Great Britain is their first choice. He is a statesman of large experience, profound knowledge, incorruptible integrity, and has always been foremost in the defence of the constitutional rights of the South. Ilis absence from the country has placed him out of the reach of the local prejudices which have grown up in various Nor thern localities within the last two years, and the vari ous factions of the Democratic party could be more readily united upon him than upon any other promi nent statesman whose name lias been suggested in con nection with the Presidency. At the South, he would propably be acceptable to all parties. Though opposed to Know Nothingism, he wfts prevented, b} his position, from mingling in the strife and would gain free access to the hearts of our people as there would be no better party prejudices to bar the door. While we concede to our correspondent all that he claims for the Southern Democracy, we do not think they ought to insist upon the exercise of their right to choose a candidate at this particular juncture. The battle for Southern Rights, upon which we have now entered, will be fought mainly at the North, and policy would seem to demand that the South should concede to her Northern friends the privilege of selecting the lea der of the host. We are not prepared to admit that “the administra tion was defeated” until Henry A. Wise mingled in the fray, as asserted by our correspondent. The Northern elections were disastrous, but this was anticipated. The Nebraska-Kansas act was anew and startling experi ment in legislation. The Northern mind was shocked for the moment, and artful demagogues seized the oc casion and turned it their advantage, But the sober second thought of the people will reverse the judgment so hastily rendered, and vindicate the wisdom and pa triotism of the measure. Already the tide has turned, and tho recent elections in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Mary land and Indiana give promise of a glorious future. We 1 lave from time to time condemned such of the acts of the administration of President Pierce as we thought objectionable. The Cuban question wasbung lingly managed by Secretary Marcy, the interference of Secretary Guthrie in the squabbles of the New York tactions was unlortunate, and the bleeder appointment did not turn out well, but those are small matters 5 not near so important in their consequences, nor so unfor tunate in their results as the non-intercourse policy of Mr. JetFerson ; and are not to be mentioned as offsetts to the great and wise measures which have been tri umphantly advocated and carried bv the administration. To toe bouth, at least, President Pierce has been true. 1 lis less of popularity at the North has been owing en t.reiy to his bold and manly defence of the constitution al rights ot the South. Very different would have been his position in that section of the Union, if h 8 had sanc tioned Northern designs upon ihc bed ral Treasury and thrown the influence of his administration against the 1 epeal pi tne Missouri restriction. He has done tvhat very tew men have ever attempted ; he has opposed his own section and outraged their most cherished preju dices ; ne has stood by the weak when the strong at tempted to oppress and wrong them ; and all this he has done simply because the South was right and the North v. tong. Ail honor then t President Pierce for his noble and gallant conduct in h.s high office, ilb has placed the South under everlasting obligations, and whether he is re-nominated or not, he will ever find in the Southern heart a cordial appreciation of his eminent services, lie is the dearer to us because he is unpopu lar at the North. It may not be good policy to re nominate him ; but of tTiia we are Certain— no President ever went out of office who had higher claims upon the South for tlieir s>dF. ages. Remotal.— De. Brownsoo is about taking up his r* si deuce in New York. IPs Review hereafter will be published in that city. The Philharmonics.

The Prospict in Louisiana. —The election come* off 1 on the sth November. The True Delta of the llih it st., says : “From Bienville, Sabine, St. Landry, St. Mary La fourche and St. Janies, from- parishes m the extreme Northwest, as well as in our neighborhood, letter upon letter crowd upon us, all conveying the same assurances, all congratulating us upon the position Louisiana will take towards the fanatical and anti-republican move ments which have been imported by her enemies, with in her honest and incorruptible borders.” Australia and the United States. —The Sydney Times says that a project has been started by a British capitalist largely connected with the trade of the Unit ed States, to establish steam communication between the British Colonies and New York and London, via Panama. Tho scheme is shaped with a view of em bracing equal advantages to Sydney and Melbourne on the Pacific side, and it contemplates direct lines to Lon don and New York on the Atlantic. This is to bo ef fected by making Tahiti the entreport for the service in the Pacific, and final station for the Panama steamers, and continuing the communication by branch lines to Sydney and Melbourne. From Aspiuwall to London it is proposed to enter into arrangements with the Royal West India Company for the conveyance of the English freight and passengers, while the communication will be carried through to New York by a line of steamers belonging to the new company. It is calculated by this line that New York will be brought within forty five days and London within fifty days of Australia. Heavy Robbery. Philadelphia, Oct. 10. The store of Messrs. Thompson, Potter, and Newkirk, at the corner of Fifth and Market streets was entered last night by means of false keys, and robbed of silks to the amount of $6,0U0. Gold Chain Factory Burnt. Springfield, (Mass.,) Oct. 9. Messrs. Pumrill & Shurnway’s extensive gold chain manufactory was completely destroyed by fire this eve ning The loss is heavy, and some 60 workmen have been thrown out of employment. The firm is insured. Advanco in BreadstufFs. By reference to the report of Northern markets un der our commercial head, it will be seen that bread-stuffs of all kinds have advanced in price. On Saturday, Mon day and T uesday of last week, sales of wheat were made in New York to the amount of 400,000 bushels. The cause of th is advance has been the receipt of large orders from England and France in order to supply the deficiency of the grain crops in Europe. A considerable am >unt of the purchases have also been made on account of Greek houses. Large orders for Wheat and Flour have also been filled in Baltimore and Boston. The advance on Flour during the week in Baltimore has been from 50 to cents, and on Wheat 12 cents. In New York, for the same time fL-nr has advanced $L to $1 12£ on all grades. Wheat 8 to 16 cts., and corn about 6 cents. Our farmers have profited by this increased demand, as is shown by the large amount of wheal received here bv the Central Railroad, and shipped to New York*. Du ring the months of July, August and September, about 390,000 bushels were received, and up to Saturday eve ning last, a little over 72,000, making a total, the present season, of 462,000 bushels. This is quite an important item in the trade of this section with the North. Proba bly an equal amount has been shipped from Charleston, and all of it growth of Georgia and Tennessee.—Savan nah News, Oct. 15. Must Read or Not Vote. • Oa Monday Is Oct.; the people of Connecticut were required to express their opinions at ;he polls upon the a loption of the following proposition as an amendment to the eonsMtion of that State, viz : “TbaUevery person shall be able to read any article of the Constitution, .or any section of thq statutes of the State, before being admitted as an elector ” The amendment was adopted by a large majority, which is altogether the most sensible thing we have known the people oi a New England State to do for a long time. No man should be allowed to vote who is unable to read. Such a law would doubtless, at first, exclude some very worthy men—men of sound practical sense ; but tli3t evil Would be greatly overbalanced by the thousands of stupid, ignorant creatures it would exclude, who are now led up to the polls by demagogues, l.ke sheep to the slaughter. Nor would the objection, that in some few instances worthy men would be excluded, be of long duration, for all'such would learn to read in a very short ti ne, and thus remove the disability.— Chronicle <J- Sen tinel.

Living by One’s Wits. Nine persons sailed from Balse down the Rhine. A Jew who wished to go to Schlampi, was allowed to come on board and journey with them, on condition that he would conduct himself with propriety, and give the captain 18 kreutzers for his passage. Now, it is true, something jingled in the Jew’s pocket when he struck his hand against it; hut the only money therein was a twelve kreutzer piece, for the other was a brass button. Notwithstanding this, he accepted the offer with gratitude, for he thought tojiimself, “something may be earned even upon the water There is many a man who has grown rich on the Rhine.” During the first part of the voyage, the passengers were very talkative and merry, and the Jew, with wallet under his arm—for he did not lay it aside —was the object of much mirth and mockery, as alas! is often the case with those of his nation. Put as the vessel sailed onward, and passed Thurington and St. Veit, the passengers, one after the other grew silent, gazed down the river until one spoke out: ‘Come, Jew, do you know any pastime that will amuse us 1 Your fathers must have Contrived many a one during their long stay in the wilderness.’ ‘Now is the time,’ thought the Jew, ‘to shear my sheep!’ And he proposed that they should sit round in a circle,and propound curious questions to each other, and he, by their permission, would sit down by them. Those who could not answer the questions,should pay the one who propoun ded them a twelve kreutzer piece, and those who answer ed them pertinently should receive a twelve kreutzer piece. The proposal pleased the company, and hoping to divert themselves with the Jew’s wit or stupidity, each one asked at random whatever entered his head. * Thus, for example, the first one asked: ‘How many soft boiled .eggs could a giant eat on an empty stomach?’ All said that it was impossible to answer that question, and each paid over their twelve kreutzers. • But the Jew said ‘One; for he who has eaten one egg, cannot eat a second on an empty stomach,’ and the other paid him twelve kreutzers. The second thought, wait Jew, I will try you out of the New Testament, and I think I shall win my piece. ‘Why did the Apostle Paul write the Second Epistle to the Corinthians?’ The Jew said, ‘because he was not in Corinth, otherwise he would have spoken to them.’ So he won another 12 kreutzer piece. When the third found the Jew so well versed in the Bi ble, he tried him in a different way. ‘Who prolongs his work to as great a length as possible, and yet completes it in time?’ ‘The rope maker, if he is industrious, said the Jew. In the meanwhile they drew near the village, and one said to the other,‘that is Bamiach.’ Then the fourth said, in what month |do the people of Bamiach eat the leat?’ The Jew said,‘in February; for ‘that has only Ttwenty eight da vs.’ The fifth said, ‘there are two natural brothers, and still only one of them is my uncle?’ The Jew said, ‘the uncle is your father’s brother, and your father is riot your uncie.’ A fish now jumped out of the water, and the sixth asked ‘what fish have their eyes nearest together?’ The Jew said, ‘the smallest.’ The seventh man then asked, how can a man ride from Basle to Berne in the shade, in the summer time, when the sun shines?’ The Jew said,‘When he comes to a place where there is no shade, he must dismount and go on foot.’ The eighth asked, ‘W T hen a man rides in the wintertime from Berne to Basle and has forgotten his gloves, how must he manage so that his hands shall not freeze?’ The Jew said, he must make fists out of them.’ Tho ninth was the last. This one asked, ‘How can five persons divide five eggs so that each man shall receive one and still one remain on the dish?’ The Jew said,‘Thelast one must take the dish with the egg. and let it lay there as Jong as he pleases ’ But now it came to his turn, and he determined to make a good sweep. Alter many preliminary complements, he asked, with an air of mischievous hiendliness—‘How’ can a man try two trout in three pans, so that a trout may lay in each pan?’ ) No one could answer this, and one after an other gave him a twelve kreutzer piece. But when the ninth desired that he should answer it himself, he frankly acknowledged that the trout could not be hied in that way! Then ii was maintained that this was unfair in the Jew, but he stoutly affirmed that there w'as no provision for it in the agreement, save that he who-could not answer the questions should pay the kreutzers; and fulfilled the agree ment by paying that sum to the ninth of bis comrades, who had asked him to soive it himself. But they all being’ rich merchants, and grateful for the amusement w hich had passed an hour or two very pieas ntly for them, laughed heartily over their loss and ?,t the Jew’s cunning.

From all directions the news is pouring in upon us of democratic victories, and we are so bewildered with im mense majorities and unbounded enthusiam that we are unable to foot them up. Suffice it to say, the victory throughout the State is a complete one —one from which the unholy alliance formed against the democracy will not soon recover. Our whole city and county ticket, consisting of George Megee, for sheriff; Charles W. Carrigan, for register of wills ; and John Sherry for cfera of the orphans’ court, has been elected, majorities ranging from 1,000 to 2,500.

Joy Morris. In York county the entire democratic ticket is elected by a large majority. In Allegheny county the democratic sheriff is elected by a large majority, and in Cambria county the demo* eratic sheriff is elected by 800. In Schuylkill county the whole, democratic ticket is elected.

Momgomery gives two thousand democratic majority, a gaiu of fitteen hundred. SECOND DESPATCH.
