W. WIl-BOX I'ropriclor . 91. HAMKI-, Kdilr WASHINGTON, Ga. FRIDAY Jl'I.Y 3. ISST. CAMPAIGN REPUBLIC AN. We are now about entering another ■politi cal contest in this State. The questions involv ed are of the utmost consequence to every citizen. In order to meet these questions it is of the highest importance that every voter, snot every individual, should be supplied with newspapers. We therefore propose to furnish the Repub lican to subscribers during the canvass, to-wit: fs-asn the Bth of July to the 21st of October, at lire following rates, in advance.

Fine Potatoes. —Wo were shown a few days ago some specimens of the Irish pntatoc, which we think were a little finer tliau any wc have ever seen.

He exhibits again at 2 o'clock to day, aud at 8 o’clock to-uight. ———*•* Democratic Candidate for Gover nor. It will he seen, by the report of the pro ceedings of the democratic convention, re cently held in Milledgeville, published ir. our columns to day, that after twenty ballot ings, the convention nmn:iiuted by acclamation, Hon. Joseph E ltrown, of Cherokee. Judge Brown is a man of parts, perhaps tho best so lec'io i which iuuld have been made* Though comparatively a young man, little known to the people of the State, when they become ac quainted with the man and his precedents, his nomination will be heartily ratified by all sec tions of the State democracy. He D, we Dam. not over thirty-five years of | age—wa* bon, in Pickens District, South Ca rolina—came to Georgia, some say fifteen, Others say thirty yckis ago, and aettled with his father in Cherokee county—was quite a poor boy, work mg hard to help maintain his father's family. Hy continual industry and perseverance he managed to get money enough to go to school iu South Carolina. His money giving out, he returned to Georgia, where by bis own exertions, teaching school. &e.. he be came able with the charitable assistance of Dr. J. W. Lewis, who saw what was in him, to enter the law school at Yal e College. After graduating with credit, he returned to Georgia and commenced the practice of Law. He has since prosecuted his profession with vigor) and ability, and with eminent success. In 1849 he was elected to the State Senate from his county. His superior talents won for lim the respect and esteem of that body. In 1851, he sided with the Southern Rights party of Georgia, and was therefore beaten for a sec - ond term la the Senate. He continued to ap ply himself to the practice of law until Octo ber, 1655. when he was elected first Judgo of the Blue Ridge Circuit, which office ho held when nominated. “Asa judge” says the At lanta Intelligencer, “Mr. Brown has won the respect and admiration of the bar and the country Thoroughly versed iu the know ledge of the law, of an upright, inflexible dis position, of a kind heart and courteous man ners, he has made the court over n hich ho pre sided the true temple of justice, and -on for j himself the honors of her representative. As Governor of Georgia, Judge Brown will reflect credit on the place, as he has on all other places which he has filled. He is a self-made man—a man equal to any emergency in which he may be called on to act. To fail is wliat be cannot—’ti* contrary to his nature. lie is a man of the people, ami understands their wants and dispositions; besides, lie is a man of unsullied virtue, and strict, almost severe mo rality, happily blending in himself the charac. ter of this age with the sterner one in which our fathers lived.” ■ ■ • • - Fourth of July. Wcbave heard nothing of any public demon stration in this part of the country in com memraoration of the cver-to-be remembered Fourth. Indeed, wc fear some of our people will forget that to-morrow is the day unless they are reminded of it by the newspapers. Almost everywhere else the day is held in grateful remembrance. In some Statts it is established as a holiday hy law. In other places its return is greeted by the roar of cannon, flic firing of guns, the parade of the militia, the hoisting of flags and liberty polos, by peals of martial and soul-stirring music, the waving of banners and handkerchief* by the lovely daughters of America, by the as sembling of tho people to listen with new and lively interest to the good old story of the re volution, and by every manifestation cf joyous delight. In Georgia we hear of grand prepa tions for the celebration of the day which gave birth to American freedom. Some 900 or 1000 of the very flower and chivalry of the •state will assemble at Milledgeville to-day from various sections to have a gloofiention, encampment, parade, speaking, and fine time generally in honor and veneration oflliat day. Ollier cities and villages, and even country neighborhoods will have ceremonies appropri atc to the occasion. But our people seem to have lost all taste for such things. Here in old Wilkes—the scene of ouc of the most gallant struggles in the contest for our rights, here in the town of Washington, foremost to do honor to the name of the father of his country—even here the Fourth of July will pass without publicly reading ihc declaration of Independence, or any other act to recall to the minds of the people the thrilling events and the glorious consequc-ccs connected with that declaration. This thing ought not to be so. Wc should never become so regardless of the past—so engrossed with the present mid its business concerns—so intent upon personal ease ami comfort ns to suffer such an anniversary to pass without making it, as far as we can, an occasion of universal interest. Some exercise should be selected which people, aud especial ly the rising generation, could all enjoy. They should be taught on that day the principles of our government, and familiarized with every incident ini ventful history. They slipuld be made to ft i. once a year at least, that all citizens <• l-e'-lvally free and equal— for tits’ jt Ids is always * lll,l 'Si “* musses any* *2 -far always realising it.v i'nes'ervant|should have rest. The horse, the ox and the leulo should be loosed from labor. Them sliauld be a time of general gladness, gratitude ami jollity with an humble looking to the great Ruler of men and nations for the perpetuation of the inestimable blessings which under Him result ed to us by the action of the Fourth of July, 1776. It. J. Walker. Wo give to*diiv for the benefit of those, I who are disposed to nppologtzc for Idle conduct i of Gov. Walker, an extract from lift speech to the abolitionists at Topeka. Tlio extract to gether with tho comments of the Columbus Times and Sentiuel. may bo found in another part of our paper. It betrays too plainly the treachery of Walker to admit of defense. It shows that lie is cither an abolitions! at heart or else that he has sold himself aud tho South for lucre. He but indulges his sympathy, or is but performing his contract with Seward. Robinson &, Cos., by going to Topeka to ad dress the vile gang m language o’ frutamal sentiment and concurrence, lie trust needs travel through the North, receive Black Re publican flattery, take counsel with the leaders of that party, and perhaps negotiate tho bar gain with them before going to Kansas. Now that he has arrived there, his first assoei tes are sought among the shriekeis—the traitors of the territory', Instead of dispersing the bogus legislature and pursuing them with tin aword of justice, as guilty of treason agains the United States, lie holds out to them the hand of friendship, honors their villainy, talks to them with softest persuasion, receives their plaudits and actually becomes their coadjutor lie tells them “I presume wc all agree” as to tho mode of settling the controversy between the slavery and anti-slavery parties. He even declares his intention to join them in opposi* tion to the convention about to assemble, if i l should not submit the constitution for ratifica tion to all the inhabitants of the territory, in cluding all the swarms of low, dirty and re fuse population, which the emigration Societies of tlie North may lend into Kansas up to the time of the ratification election. Comtuct so violative of every obligation to honor, to party, to country needs no comment. Walker went to Kansas pledged to maintain a strict neutrality between, the two parlies, and to give effect to the will of the majority of the people there whenever legally express ed. His whole energies now urc directed to v wards subver’ing the will of tho .territorial people by voting them down with a promiscu ous set of rakes, ro-vdies and plug-uglier, many of whom will perhaps have no residence or interest there after the election is over.

I From the Columbus Times and Sentinel. Gov. Wa’kcr at Topeka. If anything has been wanting to confirm us in our impression of the traitorous desigms of Gov. Walker, in Kansas, it is furnished In the speech which he delivered at Topeka, on the 6th instant. Instead of going there with the sword, as he should have done, to disperse the rebels who were treating his authority with contempt, he met them with honied words of friendship and entreaty. His plan for aboli tionizing the Territory is more clearly unfold ed than K s Inaugural Address. Again tie declares i.:i conviction that unless the Consti tution which the Convent ion may adopt, is submitted to the vote of ~.1 the resident set tlers. Congress will and ought to reject it ; and to give emphasis to his opinion, declares that unless the Constitution should thus be submit ted, lie would unite with them iu their opposi tion to it’ But let him speak for himself : My doctrine is this, that in the future, when the Constitution shall be submitted to the vote of the citizens of .Kansas, that it shall be submitted to the vote of the whole people. I do not mean tlioscwho are now registered un der the territorial law. Ido not uican those who were residing here on the Hit It of March last, hut 1 mean the whole people of Kmusv not only those who are here now. but those who will he Lore nett fail as actual residents —that they—the people over whom these in - stitutio is are to operate —that they by a ma jority of her votes, shall decide for themselves what shall be their Constitution and whit shall be their social institutions. On this sub ject, 1 desire, I.repoat, to read to you an ex tract from uiy inaugural address to the people of the Territory of Kansas, together with the views of the of the United States. ••* • . * I repeat, th ns my clear conviction, that unless the Convention submit the Constitution to the vote of ull the actual resident settlers of Kansas, mid the election be fairly aud just ly conducted, the Constitution will be, and ought to be rejected by “Congress.

Gov. TValkcr claims to, speak f. rtho Ad ministration. We do not know whether he does or not ; we hope not. We will not w.i ver in our confidence in A.r. Buchanan ; wc will not doubt liis devotion to the great Con stitutional doctrine of nonintervention, upon which the American people have selected him 10 the Presidency. Unshaken, however, as is our confidence in the wisdom and pttriotism of the Administration, we do hesitate to avow that our convictions upon this questions will not be affected by the policy of the Adminis istration. Wc owe no nlh-gienee to party which sha'i bo allowed to interfere with devo tion to the rights and the interests of our section. Oar only hope for the preservation of the Union is in tile I'ltegiiy of tie Demo cratic party. \\ e ding to that as the on’y power which can preserve the Constitution from the vandals of the North, and we shall not abandoned it as long as it is true to fit tiun* honored principles. Mr, Walker may betray his party,as unfortunately forthe par ty and country, some of his predecessors have done, but lie has no power to commit the Ad ministration to his bad faith. , llccder was f itse *o the power which sent him to Kansas, anil he was •tripped of his authority.

The principle of non-intervention, incorpo rated into the law organizing the Territory of Kansas, requires that the people shall be free to make their own State Constitution without any interference from the general government As to the particular mode in which the people shall adopt a constitution . the territorial kill is silent, ami should be of course. It only re quires that the people of the Territory sball act without foreign intervention. They have chosen to act throng l .! Convention, and it ts their und triable right to do so.

Butler, the uncle, was about to be burieu. while Summer, the victim, was improving in bealth, and receiving the honors of the court* of Europe.” YIS, Brooks is dead, and Butierin his grar.\ While the malignant, base rfnd dastard slave Bold iu bis tongue but coward in bis beart, Assailed the uncle with his person'll dart , And when the nephew paid the old man’s score Crouch’d F ;a c’ r \nd groveled on the floor, Figures at courts :,j says good parsoa_ Stone, i Like other rogues, most honored where least known. Heavens ! who would not prefer an honored grave To such a life as'that i.f this wile slave 1 Who would not rather from this world be torn. Than live the mark of every brave mau’s scorn ?
