From the London Daily News, Aug. Bth, 1849.
The Queer’s visit to Ireland.
THE QUEEN’S LANDING AT KINGSTOWN, AND PUB
LIC ENTRY INTO DUBLIN.
MONDAY, NOON.
Nothing could exceed the beauty of the
weather or the splendour of the coup d’ceil at
ten o’clock this morning, when her most gra
cious Majesty landed at the jetty at Kingstown.
The harbor was crowded with vessels, all
deckedjn their gayest colors, and at half-past
nine an entire fleet of large steamers, the
property of the City of Dublin Company, came
jn crowded with passengers. Some idea of
the number on board these vessels may be
' formed from the fact that at an early hour
yesterday 5,000 tickets (complimentary) had
been issued by the company. Her Majesty,
ever punctual, landed at 10 to the moment,
accompanied by Prince Albert and attended by '
' his excellency the Earl of Clarendon, Duke of
Clarendon, Duke of Leinster, Marquis of Lans
downe, Brabazon and Jocelyn, the Archbishop
of Dublin and Archbishop Murray, thq Lord
Chancellor, and several other persons of dis
tinction. The ladies in attendance were the
Countess of Clarendon, and Lady Jocelyn.
Immediately her Majesty put her foot on the
platform, the band of the 41st struck up the
National Anthem, and the cheering from the
' va-t crowd, which was immense, became so
tremendous as to leave no doubt as to the
unanimous feeling of the people. Her Majes
ty walke I along, leaning on the arm of Prince
Albert, and a handsomer royal couple it would
be difficult to find. Her Majesty who is slight
ly browned by tier aea trip, looked remarkably
. well; and as for Prince Albert, the Irish ladies
pronounce unanimously in his favor. The
royal children followed next, and were the
objects of unusual curiosity and admiration.
When her Majesty reached the more elevated
platform leading to the royal carriage, the
thousands of well-dressed persons who had ob
tained tickets gave her majesty such a recep
tion as to occasion her visible emotion. Her
became apparently deeply moved,
most graciously, and then going to the
Kjfthe plait, m waved her hand a&CUW
the cou<nle-s •!. ’■
,ho -L,- rise again wnh shouts of wel-
F° r a moment all ceremonial was
Bjtorgotton, the ladies fairly wept with emotion,
her Majesty also was visib'y affected.—
When her Majesty stepped into the carriage,
the engineer expected an immediate signal to
proceed, but he was graciously ordered to delay
a few minutes during wh ch the Queen stood
up in the carriage, and acknowledged the affec
tionate greetings of her subjects in a most
affable and condescending manner. The roy
al carriage, driven by Mr. Haughton, was not
long in reaching the terminus, when her
Majesty and suite entered the carriages and
four which had been prepared for her reception.
Tne progress through town was one of the
grandest spectacles I ever witnessed. Every
window wasc owded, and the streets were one
vast sa of human h- ads. As each successive
street was reached the shouts became loude
and louder, until at last when the royal pro
cession reached Sackvdle-street, the whole ol
that vast area presented such a scene as 1
shall never forget. A pin could scarcely drop
between the peoplj so dense was the crowd,
and all eves were turned towards, all voices
were raised for her Majesty. The Queen was
evidently pleased. There was no mistaking
the expre-aion of her countenance, mid as lor
Lord Clarendon no *ehooliioy going home lor
the holidays ever looked hail so happy. Noth
ing can exceed the orderly demeanour of the
people, a thing which the authorities seem l<»
hav<- expected as the number ot miliiary and
police present was bandy sufficient for the
purpose of ciiqnette. I must now leave her
Majesty to continue her progress, to close my
letter lor her Majesty’s mail.
Monday Evening.
In my communication ol tins morning I left
the royal proce-sion in Sackville-slreet, pass
ing at a smart walk through the myriads who
had congregated beyond all anticipation to do
honor to their gracious sovereign. As the
roval corteue proceeded, the enthusiasm seem
ed" to increase in intensity, the people, partic
ularly the females, of high and low degree,
becoming almost wild with excitement. The
great anxiety of all was to catch a glimpse ol
“the Queen,” and the moment her Majesty
was recognized, deafening huzzas rent the
air, accompanied by these gesticulatory mani
festations wi h which ardent Irish m n and
jhe strangsr, but all breathing the deepest
loVal affection, were heard at every turn.
“ 9ipre -he's the real lady,” “ Won’t she give
us/ a Prince Patrick ?"’ and “ They’re a mighty
handsome couple, God bless them,” resound-
every corner. The only dissentient 1
bear'd throughout the whole pageant was one
critictW oIJ woman, who remarked, on her
Majesty’s first appearance on the deck of the
and Albert, at Kingstown, “that the
Queen had a mighty course straw bonnet on,
that a+je (the speaker) would herself be ash
amed tirpurchase.” There was, no doubt, a
strong opinion among many oi the spectators
that her Majesty would have appeared to much
more advan age as “a real Queen,” crown on
head and sceptre in band. The royal child
ren were objects of especial interest, and it
made no small addition to the affectionate en
thusiasm of the people to see by a thousand
little manifestations that her Majesty, in addi
tion to her truly regal qualities, possessed that
inestimable social virtue of being a watchful
and loving mother. Among other traits which
were not lost on this people of quick and deli
cate perceptions was, that her Majesty on step
fring into the railway carriage looked anxious
y behind her to see that her children were
safe. The immense crowd outside saw and
appreciated the gesture in a moment, and tent
the air with their cheers. The royal cortege
having passed through Rutland square, pro
ceeded byway of Dorset street, Eccles street,
and the circular road to the Pbcentx-park,
where the hospitality of her Majesty's Vtecroy
will be honored by the royal presence this
evening. The illuminations to-night will, it
is expected, be the most general and splendid
that have ever been seen in Dublin. Theor
derly conduct of the people remained the theme
of general admiration to the end of the im
posing ceremonial. Having gratified their
loyalty and curiosity to their heart’s content,
•h*y quietly separated in groups, every one of
which was employed in admiring discussion
on the merits of the illustrious visitor.
Tuesday.
The truly important event of her Majesty’s
reception at th-- city of Dublin being new over,
J have more leisure to give vou an account
of the public let ling, as it was displayed to-
hl fMimdai lima—a in thn
best circles the moat opposite views entertain
ed of the degree of favor wnh which the
Queen would be received. It was known
that the Cork people had been designedly sur
prised, inorder that any attempt at giving of
fence might be forestalled; and the favorable
greeting which she hsd received in Cork,
could be no index to Dublin, for Cork bad
never been the sent of sy.-P matte agitation ;
its cil Zena iiad never been coit-tantly exposed
t > the incendiary acts of agitators on the one
band, or the more courtly, but not less despi
cable, devices ot the viceregal hypocrites on
the other, which have combined to ferment so
much bad feeling in the metropolis of Ireland
Great, indeed, was therefore the anxiety with
wliich I>'?e morinoL' of he 6ih of August, 1849,
was looked forward to by the authorities here.
And none knew better than those author!
ties that the mats ground why any person
would be apprehensive about the reception ot
her Majesty was to be "feund in the fact ot
the viceregal court being so unpopular with
the Dublin world. Lo d ClarettdG.n himself
is by all parties now felt to be so systemS'ical
ly insincere—to carry the duplicity of his di
plomatic habits so constantly into his politics
—having one arriere pensee in every scheme
which his mind may entertain —that even if
he had the graces of a Normanby, or the large
views of a Wellesley, he could hardly suc
ceed in being popular in a society of which
the two factions are as distrustful of his
word* as of hie views. The heavy draw jack
of a viceray, who has been paid by the Irish
public of all oarties fewer compliments than
any of his predec’ssora ('he most eager of fits
courtiers having - been the two furious Orange
addressers of last year) was enough to damp,
with a large portion of the public, the coming
of the sovereign. But you will see that those
fears (not in themselves unreasonable) were
destined to prove groundless.
Her Majesty, with her customary punctuali-
X, landed at the appointed hour of 10 o’clock,
.M. When she placed ber tiny foot upon
the shore, the thunder of artillery proclaimed
the fact for miles around. The day was love
ly, as I to’d you in the rapid letter I sent you
from the deck of the Holyhead Steamer. Finer
weather could not ham been desired by a
(Sybarite. Thejuer waa crowded with amort |
respectable assemblage, of which more than
one-half were ladies —the wives and daugh
ters of the summer residents at Kingstown, of
the merchants and chief professional persons
of Dublin. Surrounded by a small but select
cortege, and leaning on the arm of the Prince
Consort, her loyal children following close af
ter, the Queen walked forward slowly along a
gracefully designed pavilion, ooen at the sides,
und reaching from the shore to the railway
platform. Your readers will now expect to
hear, as is usual on such occasions, that
“ cheers rent the air,” in the stereotyped ver
biage used in describing pageants, but the ex
pression would on this occasion have little
meaning, for the cheers did not ring with that
hearty spontaneity which would be desired by
every one who honors his sovereign. The
cheers were neither thundering nor vigorously
animated with the vehemence of Irish nature—
»o emotional and ardent. They were very
well-bred cheers, and certainly did not make
too much noise. Nor let your readers feel
disappointed at such having been the case, as
it is my duty to tell him that the people were
not represented in that assemblage of maw
kishly genteel and particularly consequential
assemblage of the seabathing snobocracy of
Dublin. The ladies formed too large a por
tion to give the cheering the requisite reson
ance, and the dandies were too stiff and ton
full of their kid gloves and their patent boots
to give the hearty cheer of generous manhood.
Lord Clarendon’s own attempt at a cheer was
very bad, but he may be excused, as a popular
cheer has been a sound unknown to him since
he became the ruler of this ill-fated island;
but certainly the viceregal notion ofa hurrah
recalled to me Cowper’s couplet:
being tried, it dies upon the lip,
Like the faint note of a chicken in the pip.
There was great difference of opinion as to
the looks of her Majesty. One said that she
seemed to be flushed and frightened; but anoth
er asserted that she was sunburnt and weath
er-beaten. Her Majesty at Kingston had cer
tainly not the assured and calmly happy coun
tenance which in another hour she wore in
. Vho
........po::., to face with that slandered
and cruelly maligned Irish people—she did in
deed receive the unbought and unp trchaseablo
testimony from the dense throng that crowd
ded round her, that she rules in Ireland with
no hated sway; that amongst her Irish sub
jects she can grasp her sceptre with no falter
ing hand, and that neither the frenzy of infa
tuated demagogues has sapped the vigor of her
power, nor the depravity of spurious liberalism
iu office stained the lustre of her throne.
The fact, however, appeared to be that the
Queen, as she walked along the crimson car
peting of the lengthy railway platfbrm„;seemed
rather nervous, and she returned the greetings
of the lauies and gentlemen around with a
slightly timorous air, that roused fresh sym
pathy for her in every geneious heart. And
r ght glad was Ito hear the vigorous cheers
which came in my vicinity from some catholic
gentlemen of sterling independence and strong
popular principles. BtiH there was a misgiv
ing ir. the mind of many that the reception
would prove a failuie, so coldly artificial and
lac-iioitsly loyal appeared the reception ni
Kingstown. But that misgiving, as you will
now find, was soon agreeably dispelled.
When after leaving Sandymount, and pass
ing Bail’s Brdge, her Majesty advanced into
the great wide road which runs tip into Bag
got-street, it was evident to every person that
.he was beginning to receive a reception which
for the natural good will and kindliness with
which it was given, would net be received
tiow-a-daya by any other sovereign that rules.
And the tact grows more and more evident
as the royal lady proceeded further on her way.
When passing through the city gates where
she received the keys of the city the cheering
of the vast assembled crowd was beyond cavil
of dispute genuine and spontaneous though it
fell short doubtless of the uproarious buoyan
cy and half frantic enthusiasm, which on g la
occasions at former periods characterised the
Irish populace. The Queen certainly appear
ed to feel gratified; she seemed really quite
pleased at the good will expressed to her. The
royal children sat right opposite to her, and in
their youthful innocence and unpretending
appearance went right home to the susceptible
heart of an Irish assemblage, thrilling it with
Stood feeling, and kindling up real good nature
which, if less loud, is not less precious than
the fleeting flashes of unmeaning popul ir en-
r„,
ther, the Qu en appeared more pleased. In
Sackville street the genuine character ol her
reception was best seen. Some of your read
ers will require to know that Sackville street
is the widest in this empire, forming tn itself
a vast space, where .t would be a vain task to
rely on mere hired clacqueurs. For though
any bungler in the sorry trickery of viceregal
chicane is equal to packings jury, it would
be vain for the invidious nets of a practised
diplomatist to pack a great public reception
with the untutored cordiality which every
where was expressed towards her Majesty
yesterday. In Sackville street, I can assure
you, without the least exaggeration, that the
cheers were hearty and full of spirit and good
humour, though still there was a certain sub
dued tone about the gratulations that showed
the people had thought how far they might go
without being taken lorservile or grovelling
worshippers of exalted stition. The cheering
was certainly more general and pervasive
through all ranks ot society than has been
known since the visit of George IV. in 1821;
but it would be erroneous—quite erroneous—
to think that in prolonged vehemence of enthu
siastic applause the cheering yesterday ap
proached to that envoked from popular enthu
siasm by the tribunitian genius of O’Connell.
The spectacle, however of all ranks joining
in honest applause towards one object was
perfectly unique, moat imposing and inspirit
ing in its effect, and not soon to be forgotten
from its striking rarity by those who had the
good fortune to witness it.
1 referred you yesterday to an admirable ad
dress from the merchants of Cork (not, mark,
lite corporation’s address,) which was much
approved of here by all who read it. The
cheers yesterday were just the echo of that
happily conceived address. There was sobri
ety in their good humour—a polite and most
respectful expression towards the illustrious
lady—the exemplary wife and mother—who
paid a visit of compliment to a people sorely
sfllicted by lamentable social evils. In the
homage towards the Queen yesterday there
was “the proud, submissive, and dignified
obedience,” which Burke in one of his most
famous tracts has characterized as the main
element of constitutional loyalty. But there
was nought beyond. There was no headlong
enthusiasm —no splendidly vehement bursts of
_ I.ouhi too ; hut i-fl the who!? the reception
was such as did credit to the people, and gave
most abundant proof of the loyal and kindly
feelings entertained towards the monarch; and
I have not the least doubt but that our good
Queen will become more and more popular
every day that she remains on the Irish shore.
If her reception was so decidedly and unmis
takeubly successful with Lord Clarendon for
a viceroy, what might it not be if ■ Normanby
was now her viceroy ?
The delight and gratification felt by the
Irian at the Q teen’a complimentary visit to
them illustrates the truth of Lord Burleigh’s
saying, “that right humanity tak.th such deep
na>t in the minds of the multitude, that man
kind ere more easily moved by unprofitable
conrtesises than by churlish benefits.” It
was the perception of the necessity nf appeal
ing to Irish feelings that gave such success to
Lord Normanby, who distinctly stated iu his
written answer tn the address presented to him
at Mallow in 1836, “Ireland has feelings that
must be flattered, and prejudices and habits
that to be conquered must be soothed.”
The illuminations were almost universal.—
AU the chief streets were splendidly lighted
up, and the effect waa most magnificent.—
Aliout eleven at night the weather changed,
and the rain came down aa if specially to cool
the unwholesome air, but it did not fail until
the population bad been gratified with a three
hours’ dazzling light. I‘hare are hopaa of
this day being flue.
O’Connell’s Courtship.—On one of the
Repeal Journeys—namely, in Waterford—he
adverted as he frequently did, to the memory
of the late Mrs. O’Connell. “1 never" said
he, “ proposed marriage to any woman but my
—Mary. I said to her • are you engaged, 1
Miss O’Connell T* She answered ‘I am not.’:
‘ Then said I will you engage yourself so me.’ |
‘1 will,* was her reply. And I said I wonia
devote my life to make her happy. She de
served that I should—ahe gave me thirty-four
years of the purest happiness that man ever
enjoyed. My uncle was desirous that 1 should )
obtain a much larger fortune, and I thought he
would disinherit me But I did not care for
that I waa richly rewarded by subsequent hap
piuaaa.

pve.rd g. wms n ptaSHtnd showy affair. Tile
torch light procession of all the Firemen of
thia cityssnd Hamburg, the cheering as it p«ss

were incidents of a pleasing character. We
learn that the reception speech of Col. Mil

We understand the Firemen and guests re

IT At a meeting of the Whig Senatorial
Convention of Jackson and Clarke counties,
held in Athens on the Ist instant, W. W.
Clayton, Esq., was unanimously nominated
for Senator. From an accountof the proceed
ings in the Athens Whig, we perceive that
Mr. Clayton, in reply to the committee ofnoii
ficaiion, cordially accepts.
EF On Saiurday laxt, James A. Nisbet and
Roland Bivins, E.*qs., were nominated as the
wh g candidates to represent Bibb county, in
the lower house of the next Legislature. The
democrats had some time since nominated
Geo. W. Fish and Keelin Cook, Esq*., as their
candidates.
The Administration and the South.—
Horace Gre. ly, the Editor of the New York
Tribune, delivered a very lo g address to the
Whigs of Vermont, at Woodstock on Monday
last. The Mercury, published in that town,
says:
“He met the clamor which is now raised
against the Whigs of Vermont, as being pro
slavery, for having supported Gen. Taylor,
fully and on all points, by the general cast of
his speech, and particularly by the avowal
and proof that Gen. Taylor will approve a
bill for the admission and Government of the
that the Cabinet of Gen. Taylor, aa well the
members from the Slave-holding as from the
Free States are opposed to the extension ot
Slavery into Calitornia and New Mexico.”
We find the above going the rounds of the
Democratic papers. Why do they not bring
forward what the Mercury calls the"avowal
and proof” that General Taylor will approve a
bill with the Wilmot Proviso attached, and
that the members of his cabinet, from the
slave-holding states, “ are opposed to the ex
tension of slavery into California and New
Mexico.” Some of us are acquainted with
Mr. Crawford; who believes that he is opposed
lo its extension there ? Will any Democratic
paper in Georgia, that has given circulation to
the above, Bay, that it believes it ? If not why
did it publish it without any qualification.
Is not the whole free Democracy of the
North in arms against General Taylor, upon
the express ground that his is a pro-slavery
administration? Mr. Greely’s wish is father
to the thought in reference to this matter.—
We ask for the proof.
The South Western Rail road.—The
work upon the South Western road, we are
pleased to learn, progressed finely during the
last moutb, and the President of the Company
has made a most favourable contract for the
Irontolaythe track, from this city to the
firat depot upon the highlands west of the
Flint River. It is lo lie delivered at the Port
of Savannah, before the first of January next,
and will cost less that S4O per ton. The pat
tern adopted is a heavy flange rail, weighing
63 tons to the mile. It is admirably adapted
to the character of the business, which will be
done on the road and will last longer than per
haps any other pattern which could have been
selected at equal coat. The depot west of
the Flint River, lias been located by tho Engi
neer of the Company, and proposals for build
ing the bridge will be soheted at an early day.
Th? contractors have already made arrange
ments for a considerable portion of the auper
struc ure, and we think, there is no longer a
shadow of doubt in regard to tha completion
of the road, to the depot beyond the river, in
ample time for the crop of 185J.—Jour. &

Winter’s Mill.—We on yesterday, visit
ed the extensive establishment of John G.
Winter, E>q., in this city, lor the purpose of
viewing the operation of the fine machinery,
just erected for manufacturing Flour anti
Meal. The Flouring Department is not yet
readv for use, but will be, in the course of a
few weeks. We witnessed the process »f
grinding corn wi>h one pair of atone, and at
about half the speed of which the machinery
is susceptible, from 20 to 25 bushels were
ground, per hour. When all things are fairly
adjusted, Mr. Winter calculates to be able to
manufacture 40 bushels of grain per hour, with
each run of stone. The building is a magai
ticent one, 8 stories high, 50 feet wide by 110
long. The basement story is built of granite
rock on foundation of the same. Fcr the
merchant’s mill and the Factory of Mr.
Bridges, in connection, three of Rich’s Water
Wheels', 3| feet, each, in Dimeter, with 13
teet head of water, and 45 hor»e power, to each

the latest aud most approved style and superior j

Political and moral Malig
nancy.
We know not how more mildly to charac
terize some of the assaults upon Judge Hill,
than to charge them with being the offspring
of not only a malignant political, but a malig
nant moral nature. We do not contend tlirt
parties should, during an animated and jmpod
tant canvass, shape their course by unqual"
fied fastidiousness, in either the subjectfnatler,
or the mode of attack, but we do hold that
common decency should be least
so far as to exempt party assault froHLlhe
appearance of being only a game of patriot
ism, played with the weapons of unblushing
falsehood, and the infamous arts oLljateful
defamation. No one, who knows Judge rfFii, j
will believe for a moment, the contemptible
statement in reference to his having.pevpetaa
ted a wilful and disgraceful trick upew-ihe

a fellow-man. Such a representation is not
in accordance with tho professional purityatid

has not seen that the whig press

Is there a respectable man in the State of
Georgia, who will, over his own signature,
endorse the attack which has been made upon
Judge Hill’s professional character ? Has he
not been twice elected to the Bench since the
pretended occurrence of the case referred to,
and that, too, by democratic as •veil as whig
vote*? Was he not voted for by the demo
crats from Jasper county, whose constituents
are represented to hive been so deeply offend

We call npon the whigs and all the friends
of Judge Hifl, indignantly to rebuke this effort
to blast his reputation—to stab him fan be
hind a masked battery of commingled knavery
and falsehood.
What will become the condition of parties,
and the state, even of society itself, if candi
dates for public favor, when they canaot be
reached by fair means, must be put down by
systematic and anonymous traduction. Those
who uro »uch means, wonld be Mlisfied with
the offals of office. They cannot breathe the
atmosphere of its purer spoils, and are utterly
destitute of tho true nobleness of political op
position. U-
We do not ssy that the cause of democracy
needs such moans to sustain it, but retributive
justice will, zooner or later, overtake those
who «ae them for the base purpose cf tri

Judge Hill’s Prospects
The last number of the Rome Bulletin says:
“People may say what they will ofjudge
Hill’a prospects in other places—they may
•lander and abuse him through the coluraqsot
a vitiated presses much as they will,but it
will do no good in this quarter. JudgaHill
will receive the votes of all the whig, pid a
considerable portion of the democrats in this
region. Mark what we say.”
!■ Cherokee all will go right. Judgatflill>
I .hsrsrotlsn , wltt; we" learn, greatly e*

do their duty in middle and south-wester> Ga ,
all will be well. Can they not, will they not
arouse to a vigorous and determined effort for
the next three weeks ? Why, the day of tat
tle is at hand. Let us not trust to fortune too
much. In these doubtful and hazardous phys
for power, conduct is indispensable. Mach
depends upon what may, and much can be
done, in the short period intervening between
this and the election. Let us work, then, till
the fortune of the day is decided fer or against
us.
[From the Journal and Messenger.]
To Judge Hill’s Assailan’.-s.—W»en
grave charges, affecting the persor al repita
tion of a candidate for popular suffrage, are
made, it is surely aa little as can be expected
of the accuser that he should sustain his ac
cusation with a responsible and respectable
name. Custom, as well as propriety, forbids
that the candidate himself should join is«ue
with every anonymous correspondent of a
newspaper who chooses to calumniate him.
Who does not see that his entire time might
be occupied in vindicating himself againstthe
assaults of such antagonists ? How easy to
defile himself by collision with reckless bank
rupts in character, miserable changelings in
politics, hypocrites in religion, apostate minis
ters of the gospel, “church-hunters,” and
“jack of all trades,” who, having no reputa
tion to lose, feel a fiendish pleasure in tradu
cing good men! Now, Ido not charge a
mothers’s son of you with belonging to either
of the above description of persons, for I do
not know who you are; but certes there are
sueh men to be found. If any of you, upon
reading this, should feel the quick blood tingle
in your cheek, you may be sure you are struck
in a vulnerable spot.
What motive can you have for the conceal
ment of your names? Can it be that if any
of you are of the opinion that an assumed
name carries with it greater force—is more ef
fective ? Well, such might be the case, but
I do not say it is, for you may be“all honorable
men.” It surely cannot be that any ot you
are so degraded as to desire to wear a mask in
the presence of Judge Hilf, and affeervkind
feelings for ihe object of your bitterest enmity.
That would be too contemptible to be believed
of a single human being; and yet, “a man
may smile, and smile, and yet be a villian.”—
If you desire, honestly, to do the State a pa
triotic service, be men, doff your disguises—
•nd show to the people that you are “with
out fear and w.thout reproach.” True
manliness in such a cause, scores erecy, and
strikes in the open light of day. Show that
you are all well entitled to confidence, and 1
will join you in your denunciations cf the Whig
candidate.
A word of friendly advice; If you are not
right aura that you have as good_ reputations
for truth as mankind in general, why, keep
dark and sever “let on” who you are, but just
let all you have written go for what it is worth.
By this means nobody will be hurt. T*

TO THE WTI. s OF THE COUNTIES OF WARREN
AND TALIAFERRO.
I declare but the truth when I ray that no ®
fairness was exhibited in the convention that
nominal d a Senator for this district. First, t
jfcljafurro had no voice in the convention, t
[voters <; Taliaferro, I say, your delegates bad I
no voice in the nomination. Why, you ask, ‘
and hov ? Witen the delegations of the two ,
counties met, the Warren delegation ehut it- t
self up alone, to consult, to deliberate, and to t
deternflfie who should be the candidate; and 1
did determine, before your delegates were ,
called in. After they were called in, your
delegation being informed whom Warren had
chosen, one of them proposed tLat lie be nomi- 1
nated by acclamation, and it was carried.
“ The master spoke, and the slaves repeated
his commands.” So Warren said who should
be the man, and your delegates said well.
What is a convention ? and why meet, unless
each delegate properly appointed shall have an
equal voice in its deliberations ? This is the
principle of equality, of justice, of right; the
very principle upon which the plan of nomina
ting by a convention was adopted. Why was
, this principle, this just course abandoned ?
Why did they not assemble together, appoint
1 a eflairman, and put their nominations to vote,
as is done in al! rightly conducted conventions?
Why abandon the original-and only just course
of proceeding ? Because there were more
worthy aspirants from Warren than one.
There were four candidates. Warren, then,
-was divided. Voters, who should have deci-
- ded between them ? Ought not their names to
have come before the convention, and their
there determined? Ought not the
of T£ialerro" to have >» i ii.u.
1 I expressing their preference ? If the man did
I come out of Warren, had not Taliaferro a right
to speak in choosing him? Did Taliaferro
f have the right ? Did her delegates demand
, the right to exercise it ? Did they exercise
i this right? No—no. The Warren delega
' tion, when pent up to themselves, finally,
s amidst their disagreements, agreed to leave
. the matter to the majority. What majority ?
I A majority of the convention ? A majority of the
• delegates of Warren and Taliaferro together?
1 If that had been the case, all would have been
- done right. But right they would not do—
fair they wouuinot act—justice they could not
s maintain. What majority then ? Ho ! a ma
t jority of their own delegates. Yes, they left
- it to a majority of themselves, before they met
f in convention. Yet, after packing, screwing
and “jowering,” for some time, J. W. Thom
as received only one or two majority of the
■ votes of the Warren delegation. Was that a
e majority of the whole convention ? No I
f Who would have been nominated, if their dif
e ferences had been brought before the conven
i tion,as it ought to have been, for decision?
3 The answeris ready—it is plain—the Taliaferro
V delegation, to a man, would have voted, in
- that event, for Col. Augustus Beall. He
would have been the nominee, fairly, each del-
y egate having exercised his right, by a majority
e of the convention.
Citizens of Taliaferro, did yon elect dele
gates to represent you in the Double Wells
Convention ? Were you present assenting it
the Crawfordville meeting ? Who were there
—who constituted the meeting > How many
were present ? Twenty, thirty, or fifteen ?
Yet doh gates were appointed. They say
they preferred Ball—they had Ball tickets in
thoir pockets—why did they not vote for him?
Ball would have received nine votes from War
ren, and eighteen from Taliaferro: twenty se
ven votes. Who then was the choice of the
convention? Is that man the nominee who
receives c ily eleven,votes out of thirty eight ?
In he th- ctroicn thirty eight delegates ?
No. He is the pivot of a “ caucus,” the Janus
of a “junto,” the result of a designing, inter
ested combination ; and, though a worthy man,
is only the choice, the nominee, of a minority.
We assert then, ‘that Mr. J. W. Thomas
was nominated by a minority of the conven
tion—that Taliaferro had no voice in the nom
ination—that no fairness was exhibited by the
Warren delegation—that Mr. Thomas was not
the choice of the convention—sod it does seem
that however worthy the nominee, a nomina
tion made under such circumstances, should
be rejected. If such be allowed we will al
ways have a packed convention. Arise then,
voters, and put down the practice, in its infan
cy, or“ be forever fallen.” NonNullus.

Com. Hull—Gen. Taylor —Tn an article
on the subject of “Manners and Speech-ma
king” the Washington Republic relates the
incident quoted below :
Some of the opposition journals find it rare
sport to criticise Gen. Taylor’s speeches and
ridicule his manners. They say that he is
awkward before strangers, and does not make
a favorable impression. On this point there
may well be a difference of opinion. Surely
enough, he has not the manners of a dancing
master, but it has been well said that he gave
a reception to twenty thousand strangers at
Buena Vista in a style that few dancing-mas
ters could have equalled.
As to his speech-making, the people knew
very well what kind of speeches Gen. Taylor
made before they elected him President.—
Heaven lias bestowed uivers gifts on divers
persons. It was not necessary fer General
Taylor to make long speeches, in order to gain
the popular confidence ; and that confidence
will not be withdrawn because he fails to make
long speeches.
When the chivalrous Hull broke the spell of
England’s supremacy on the ocean, by the cap
ture es Guerriere, on bis return to port he was
complimented by the citizens of Boston with
a public dinner. The cloth being removed,
after a few preliminary toasts came to that
to the honor o'" the captain ; “Our gallant
guest, who has secured for himself a name
and a praise among his countrymen, and add
ed terror to the courtesy of his country’s flag.”
The toast was drank with enthusiasm, and
then all was quiet.
A friend, sitting next to the gallant captain,
said, “Sir, vro are waiting for your speech.”
“A speech !" said the chivalrous but modest
Hull. “I can’t make one—l don’t know how.”
A gentleman on the opposite side of the table
exclaimed, audibly, “Sir. you are in for a
speech. Don’t you see that the President is
waiting for your response to the toast ?” The
noble Tar rose up aud said, “Mr. President,
the people around me say that you and other
gentlemen are waitting for me to make a
speech. Sir. I never made ope in my life. I
can’t do it, sir. I don’t know how, sir. By
1, I’d rather fight the battle over again
than try it.”
The rafters of Faneuil Hall were a little
displaced by tue truthful delicacy of the gat-1
lant captain; but we never heard that the j
newspapc.s of that day thought it a proper j
subject of ridicule, or that it impaired the well- ,
earned Honors of the chivalrous sailor.
Tr e Value of a Smile —Who can tell
thetalue ofa smile? It costs the giver no
thing, but it road price to the erring and
resenting, the sad £<>d cheerless, the lost and
forsaken. It disarms malice, turns hatred to
love, r .enge to kindness, and paves the
darkest paths wi'h gems of sunlight. A smile
on the brow br trays a kind heart, a pleasant
friend, an affectionate brother, a dutiful son,
a happy husband. It adds a charm to beauty,
decorates the tace of the deformed, and makes
woman resemble the angel of Paradise.
The Laz IST Man. —A worthy old citizen
of Newport, wjao had the reputation of being
the laziest man alive—so lazy, indeed, that be
used to weed the garden in a rocking chair,
rocking forward to take hold of the weed, and
backward to uprpot it; had away of fishing
peculiarly his own. He used to drive his
white-faced mare down'to the spot where the
tautog (black-fish) might be depended on for
any weight from two to twelve pounds—back
his gig down to the water, put out hia line, and j
when the tautog was safely hooked, started |
the old mare and pulled him out.

Emancipation in Kentucky.
The result of the recent election of Members '
ot the Convention to amend the Constitution I
of Kentucky, shows that that old State is sound ■
to the core upon questions of vital interest I
to the South. One would have thought, from
the uproar and clamor raised by the emanci
pationists, that they would be able to elect, if
not a formidable, at least a very respectable
portion of the Convention. But, as usual with
these gentry everywhere, there was more noise
than numbers. They have not elected a single
member of the Convention. Oh, “lame and
impotent cone’ usion!”
They ought to have elected at least one, as
a curiosity. Was there no part of Kentucky
where they could persuade the people to vote
for their rnadca) s? Had they no fear of Gid
dings, and no respect lor Greeity before their
eyes? Did they believe in Fisher, and were
they all deaf to the sophistries of Mussey! Af
ter all this fuss, fire and fury, not one eman
cipation member of Convention in Kentuckyl
Weil done, Kentucky!
Wa rejoice at this result the mor* because
no Southern State oagbt even to appear like
wavering in her allegiance to the South at
this time, when the Ftee Soilers and Abolition
ists of the North are advancing side by side
against Southern institutions. There is no safe
ty tor the South but in the Union of all het
States and all her sons. They ought to stand
together in one solid phalanx, and with one
heart,one hand and one voice, resist every en
croachment upon their common rights. Let
Virginia continue to set anexampleof unity
and determination in tne defence of Southern
institutions.

The Denby Case.
The Union of Wednesday contains a long
exposition of the Denby case, which we should
take to be semi-official, and containing the de
fend of the late Secretary of the Navy, Judge
Mason. We have read the document rather
hastily, and therefore cannot state the*jjtffnts
.with precision.
Denby was one which did not come within tho
provisious of the Sub-Treasury aet, and that
“there is no authority given to the Secretary
of ths Treasury, or to the Treasurer, to trans
fer money from the Treasury or from the de
positories, as established by that act, to any
person or any officer, beyond the United
States.” And it is further insisted that any
change by the Department, from the terms of
the contract, would abrogate it, and release
the securities. The contract with Denby is
appended to the article in the Union, to show
that there was in it no recognition of the right
to use the money of the government for com
mercial speculations. Os such use, the Union
repeats, the Secretary had no knowledge;
“nor was he any more responsible for any in
vestment which might have been made of it,
with a view to its remittance, than would Mr.
Clayton or Mr. Preston be for any investment
made by the agent es Messrs. Baring, Broth
thers &. Co., in this.country, of public moneys
advanced here for remittance to his principles
in London, or pay to our foreign ministers or
the crews of our ehips of war on fereign sta
tion*.”
We are free to say that we are glad to see
Judge Mason exonerated from the charge of
any conniwica at improper or unusual use of
the public money. We think him incapable of
it, nor do we deem that the support of the pre
sent Adminittrution requires the establishment
of wrong doing in this respect npon their pre
dece»BorM. Ths whole affair ahowa that some
new legfielatioa is necessary, and thia, we doubt
not, will be attended to in due time.
The ferocious attack es the Union, the day
previous, upon Mr. Preston, for a supposed
implication of Judge Mason, is so absurd as
to extract its own venom. All, of either par-’
ty, who know Mr. P., will readily acquit him
of any disingenuous effort to injure the cha
racter of his predecessor.
Quick Work.—The Secretary of State
having, by the President’s order, instructed our
Consul at Havana to demand the person of
Juan Garcia, alias Rey, on the ground that he
was bound to maintain the inviolability of the
person of every man entitled to the protection
of the American Constitution and Laws, we
learn that our Consul accordingly made the
demand, and that Garcia has been delivered up
to him and sent to New Orleans, in obedience
to the Secretary’s instructions. The District
UftHswrej kss yrtswrl OsißßViw tl.s.suMUody e<-
the Marshal, in order to secure his testimony.
Garcia says he was forcibly abducted.
The course pursued by the President, in
vindicating promptly the honor of the country
in this transaction, while he was also engaged
in maintaining the faith of treaties by sup
pressing the illegal expedition agaiast Cuba, is
a striking illustration of the administration of
the Government on true Whig principles.—
We defy any man to produce an example from
our annals of a more successful effort to
maintain the honor of the natioa than is ex
hibited in the diplomacy of the Administration
in the case of Garcia. The Cuban expedition
will, we have little doubt, be suppressed.—

exposed. He may have fought manfully
against the sin, and still kept the secret Ibcked

to recall the act. Ho has mourned over it in

we forsake him? Earth and Heaven—justice

Test of Love.—A gentleman followed a
lady one day and having constantly and very
rudely looked at her, she said to him—
‘ Why do you follow me ?’
‘ Because he replied, ‘ I have fallen in love
with vou.’
* Why are you in love with me ? ’ she re
torted ; ‘my sister who is coming after me,
ia much handsomer than lam; go and make
love to her’
The gentleman went hack, and met her sis
ter who was very ugly. Disappointed and
angry, he returned to the first lady, saying ’
* Why did you tell me a story ?’ j
‘ Neither did you speak the truth,’ answered
the lady; for, if you were in love with me
why did you go after another ?’
The remark deprived him of the power of
reply. 1
Marriage.—l never knew a marriage ex
| pressly for money that did not end unhappily.
Yet managing mothers and heartless daugh
ters, are continually playing the same un
lucky game. I believe that men more fre
quently marry for love than women because
; women think they will not have a better
1 chanee, *nd dread being dependent. Such
marriages, no doubt, sometimes prove comfort
able, but a greater number would have been
faa happier single. If I may judge by my
observation of such matters, marrying for
home makes that home a very tiresome one

rOLITICAL IXTILLIOIICB.
The accounts from Hungary are most dis
astrous. It is announced that all Hungary
has surrendered, unconditionally, with small
exceptions. Georgy has surrendered with his
whole army, 27,000 mon and 60 guns, to Pae.
kiewitch, and it was currently reported that
he had been bribed. Kossath was still in the
field, and was determined to hold ent. Hie
wife and family are in the hands of the Ras
lia ns.
We are not prepared to give fall credit to
these reports, and wait with some impatience
to see them refuted or confirmed by the details
of the news by the Ni tgara.
EFThe following interesting particulars of
the news is from the telegraph to the Charles
ton Mercury of yesterday.
The Vienna correspondent of the London
Times, under date of Auguat 16, gives an
ticulara of operations in Transylvania* sffltv 1
the 4th of Aagust. After Bern’s defeat on
31st July at Scharbraug, he proceeded to
wards Midgyor, which he reached on the 3d
with only 800 u men and 17 guna. He was
joined heie by a corp* from Claranburg, of
4000 foot and 1200 horse, with which he pro
ceeded towards Hermanatadt, and after a
murderous battle in the streets of that town in
which many were killed and wounded—he
was obliged to retreat.
Subsequently he was overtaken by Gen.
Ludera, and routed with great loss. These
unfortunate had a very ditpiriting effect npon
the Maygar troops, many es whoom threw
away their arms, and sought refuge ia the
woods, while others went over to their con
queror*. #
Accounts from Vienna, byway es War
saw, state that tha Hungarians Diet, having
surrendered its power to the German Confed
eration, dissolved itself. A meeting after
wards took place, near Freed, between Georgy,
Bern and Kossuth, when it waa determined at
once to put an end to the war aa sanguinary
and useless.
Seorgy, addressing the Council, said he had
no hopes for the cause of Hungary, and that
nothing but utter ruin would attend the prolon
gation of the atniggle. The war party, how
ever, beaded by Kossuth and Bern, and leading
member* of the Diet, adjeurned the body to.
Aurora. It ia said they have already entered
upon Turkish territory.
Georgy surrendered himself ta Prince Paa*
keivitch, on condition that he would intercede
with the Austrian government, for himself, his
troops, and hia country. The number of the
troops said to have capitulated with him wars
27,000, with 60 pieces of artillery.
Vienna letters of the 17th state that Kos
suth intends holding out to tho last, and has
issued a proclamation announcing the transfer
of the seat of Government from Freed to Or
ehova, where he is now protected by the Hun
garian army.
The Russian papers pnbliah a letter from
Prince Paskiewitch to the Czsr, in which he
lays that Hungary is at tha faet of your Im
perial Majesty. Tho eurganle transmitted
their power to Georgy, and he has made en
unconditional surrender to Russia, and hia ex
ample will be generally followed.

The New Orleans Picayune saya: We
learn that the knowing ones in Mobile have
considerable doubt of the genuineness of the
extraordinary placard posted on the walls of
that city, purporting to a communication from
Capt. Randolph, U. S. N., to the mon now
congregated on Rouad Island. Many bets
have been made that it is all a hoax. We
should not wonder if it proved so. Indeed, we
hope for the credit of the service that tha pla
card may turn out to be tha affusion of some

it however prove an authentic document, there
is no better way, in our opinion te court resis

Movements of Pwmdrnt Tatlob.—The
New Yorfc Tribune of 3d inat. saya: Tha

feeble—the attack of vomiting an d purging
which he suffered at Srie having been much
more severe and dangerous than has been sup
posed from the reports which reached New
York respecting it. Fer this reason he waa
compelled to avoid passing through Buffalo,
where it would have been impossible for him
to escape all demonstration of popular admira
tion and affection.
He accordingly took a steambeat for Schlos
ser on the American shore, some two mile*
above th* Falls,or for Chippewa on th* Cana
dian side, at about the aarne distance, it is not
certain which; there are contradictory reports
a* to it. He will remain at the Falla until
his health shall be re-eatabliahed by quiet and
the pure air of that region, the moat invigo
rating in the world. Wjth hia strong consti
tution it cqnnot take long for his usual robust
airength to be restored, whqr, he will be able

Thy Heart’s Unveiling.— There is a lux
ury in the uninterrupted “ enjoy’ment of sor
row ;” but it is when the tear catr steal along
the cheek nnaeen, and the pride of stoicism
all men posse** yields to the genuine call of
humanity. Before the eye, even of compas
sion, we stifle nature, lest our acknowledg
ment of its power should be called weakness;
but alone, the heart throws off tho trammels
of false shame; the overburthe ned soul re
lieves itself by tears; and the heart of the
mighty hero proves itself, in suela moments,of
the aarne mould as that which beats in the
gentle bosom of childhood.
IB*Th* following has a sweet and most
feminine cadence. We’ll tru«t it on its way
to every mother’s heart. Day

There’s nought s<! sweet to a mother’ie eye,
As the dawning ils of infancy ;
As the sleeping breath and the lisping word,
And th* iow, sweet laugh by some gladness
stirred,
Methar, young mother! thy babe is fair
As the flowers that die on tho balmy air,
It* gentle eye hath a softer hue
Than ever the dream of a poet knew,
Long have I gazed on its angel face,
The varying shade* es it* looks to trace,
Oh, never on earth was so fair a thing
Aa the child 1 love in it* life’s young spring!
Mather tha child that I love is thine:
Cherish it deep in thy hearts pure shrine !
Give it the loves that the wildest burn
In the haanted deep* of thy souls sweet virri*
Love it—ay, worship it—naught but love ’
Dwell* ta the heart of your darling dovv?.
Gaze in the depth* of its soul-lit eyes *
What in their beaaty eo calmly he* ?
A soul too pure for eo dark an earth ;
I know it well by the fitful
By th* laughter deep, and the b.*|f-drawn ei/ ,h
And the angel glance at yo> ar baby >„ eye ’
Never ae she was * ehild so fair—
Beautiful babe* with the light soft hair!
Gazeth she up in her mother’* face
With i look no p Oe t’g p en might t race>
And thou, young mother, the haunting thrill
That thy bosom heave* when thy voice is still—
The lew, deep sigh, and the billowy swell
Os thy yearning love—there ie none to tell—
For the poet’s pen of its task would fail
He wonld turn away from his half-told tale
And say, “ Aye, look in the mother’s eye,
Th* thoughts I would breath in its stillness lie!”

Womai.—A gallant contemporary thinks
this world would hardly be worth living in,
•were it deprived of woman. Listen to his
rhapsody : “ Who would remain in a garden
from whence the flowers have been taken, or
ia a grove from which the birds have depart
ed, er beneath a sky which the stars had for
sake* ? Let cynics prattle aa they may, our
existence here without th* presence of the
other sex, would be only a dark and cheerless
void. The light, th* emiles and affections of
woman, are the bow of beauty and promise
which epana the life of man from hia cradle to
hi* grave,"
Lauoxtir. —No man who has once hearti
ly and wholly laughed, can be altogether and:
irreelaimably bad. How much lies in laugh
ter—the cypher key wherewith we decypher
the whole man! Soma men wear an ever
lasting barren simper; the smile of others is a
eeld glitter as of ice; few laugh what can bo
called laughing, but only sniff, and titter, and
snigger from the throat outwards, or at best
produce some whiffling, husky caehination, aa
if they were laaghing through wool; of none
i eeeh eemes good. Th* man who can’t laugh
i is not only fit for treason, stratagems and spoils,
■ but his whole life is already a treason and a
stratagem.
