of Spalding County, will recollect that the
time for ihe Democratic Convention, to
nominate candidates for the nest Legisla
ture, js the first Tuesday in August. If
anv of the Districts have not yet selected j
their De’eja’os, they will do so at as early ;
a date as practicable.
The Iverson Dinner.
On Thursday last, this demonstration of:
respect for, a: and confidence in the ability, j
infegrtv, and patriotism of the lion. Ai,-j
kred Iverson, took place in this city, the |
multitude which attended it, numbering not i
less, according to the opinions of many,
than five thousand persons, were quite en-:
thusiastic in their reception of the distin-i
guished guest of the democracy of Spald- j
iag. and in paying tribute to him who had j
r nobly ir. -ntainod Southern Rights in the
Senate of the United Stales, and who had
also so gallantly cast the gauntlet of defi
ance at the feet of our enemy. It must
have been a proud day for our distinguish
ed Senator ; the evidence was there before ,
him. that his services were appreciated by
a grateful constituency, and that, his “words
so fit!v spoken” in the Senate are echoed
and re-echoed throughout the wide limits of
the “Empire State” of the South. But we
must pass to the incidents preceding and on
the day, as we have but little space left in
our paper to devote to what might fill col- ,
umn after column descriptive of them.— j
Attended by a Committee. Senator Iverson
left Macon, on the day preceding the din
ner. at 10 o’clock, A. M. While in Macon
he was called on by a large number of bis
political friends, many of whom followed
him to this place to hear his address and
participate in the festivities of the day.—
Along the line of Road he was ut every im
portant station greeted by admiring’ friends.
When the evus reached Bartlesville, at which
point a number of ladies and gentlemen had
collected to greet him, lie was waited upon ,
by a Committee, who announced that lm
apj*earanee there had drawn out the “Brass
Bind” (a corps of gentlemen amateurs) of
that patriotic town, who proposed to, and
di<l give him a spirited musical salute.— |
This handsome compliment Senator Ivkr- .
son acknowledged in a few soul-stirring re
marks, and as the cars moved forward on
iheir way to Griffin. loud and deafening
chcc-rs for “Iverson ! Iverson !” followed |
him. Arrived at Griffin, he was escorted j
to bis quarters at the “Georgia Hotel” by
the Chairman of the Committee —the -May
or of the city—where, during the whole of
the aft ernoon, and until a late hour in the
night, he was called upon bv a large number
of ft iends. These manifestations of respect
and confidence, numerous as they were, were ;
but a foreshadowing of the succeeding day’s j
events, which necessity forces us to be brief
in describing. At 10 o’clock, on the morn
ing of Thursday, a long procession was
formed at *he Georgia Hotel, which, com
ma: ied by Capt. Maxgham, Chief Marshall
of the day, and his Assistants, proceeded to
the stand where the speaking was to take
place. Ere the procession had reached that
point, the seats had been occupied by hun
dreds ol the fair of this vicinity, whose
finding faces, and bright eyes, gave to the j
distinguished guest such a welcome as
language must fail always fully to describe. i
Besides, the beautiful grove in which the J
Speaker's stand was erected, was densely
crowded with the gallant yeomanry of the
country, whose loud cheers were another
evidence of the enthusiasm which tilled their
hearts upon seeing him who had so gallant
ly battled for the rights of the South. It
was with difficulty that the procession could,
through the densely packed crowd, reach
the stand. Indeed, hundreds were left on
the outskirts of it to seek such -a position as
would enable them to see—if not to hear
the sjieakcr.
The following gentlemen presided over
the meeting :
President of the day.
The lIon.G.J.GREEN, of Spalding Cos.
Vice Presidents,
Hen- Joseph Gaston, of’ Meriwether Cos.
H-bi. j. Rkiu, of Spalding County,
Col. S- I>- Kii.i.kn, of Houston “
Col. J. It Lyons .of Batts “
- Od O. C.Gibson, of Spalding
Col. T. S. M. Bt.mid worth, of Pike “
A number of gentlemen of distinction,
vjailors, were also invited to occupy seats
upon the stand—among whom we were
pVaed -to recognize the Hon. Alex. M.
Speer, who, but two days before, had been
itniiiinated to bear the standard of the De
mocracy of tliis Congressional District, in
the approaching election ; Col.O. A Loori
rave. whose voice has so often rallied the
democracy, and inspired them on to the con
flict. ami the Hon. W. F. Wright, who
bears the standard of the Opposition in the
Fourth Congressional District.
T-.e “President of the Day” in a few
brief remarks, in which a hearty welcome
was extended to all present, announced the
order of proceedings, and in a graceful
manner, introduced to the vast audience,
the Hon. “Alt-red Iverson, who proceeded
at once to speak. Os the speech we shall
on the present occasion say but little. In
fact, we have not the space left to-day for a
commentary. The Speech itself we publish,
and to it we invite the reader, naj, we earn
estly urge upon every Southern man, than he
peruse it carefully—as a duty, we urge this
upon all who “for weal or for woe,” are de
termined to stand by the South in the de
mands for her Constitutional rights—in its
demands for equality in the Union, or inde
pendence out of it. Os the impression made
upon the audience by this Speech, we shall
only assert, that it was deep, and we feel
that it will prove abiding. Never have we
witnessed a more attentive audience. For
two hours, the time occupied by the speak
! er, the attention was absorbing. The dis
tinguished gentleman spoke eloquently, dis
playing a high order of cultivated oratory,
and as one deeply impressed with the trutli
of his words, as well as with the conviction
that lie was advocating the cause of his own
native South —that he was striving to stay
the hand of the oppressor—or bid them an
’ uncompromising defiance. But the Speech
| speaks for itself, and we again urge the
| reader to peruse it for himself and let no
! garbled extract deceive him upon a single j
| point. To it we shall again refer as time
land space may allow, or as circumstances
shall demand. At tie close of Senator
Iverson’s Speech, the vast audience pro
ceeded to partake of a sumptuous banquet,
prepared after the manner of an old fash
ioned barbecue--a couple of hours spent in
enjoying the good tilings thus prepared for
the inner man, and in witnessing the ascen
sion of a balloon, upon- the sides of which
were inscribed “Brown and Iverson”—
prepared for the occasion b}’ some of the
boys, and a large portion of the audience
again assembled at the stand, to hear the
address of the Hon. A M. Speer —his open
| ing speech of the present canvass. Thee lo
quent gentleman was enthusiastically greet
j ed by the democracy of this part of the Dist.
! To many present he was we!’ known, and
1 with those who knew him not, at the close t
; of his remarks, lie became a great favorite j
| —ail present were gratified that the banner i
‘ of the democracy of the Third District has
; been placed in bands so able to bear it on
to victory. We are sorry that we have no
‘■ space for even a brief review of his eloquent
and manly speech. Suffice it to say, that
we are proud of his effort—proud of the j
impression which lie made—proud to Sus- 1
tain him in Hie coming conflict, and proud
to feel that the democracy of this section
will spare no effort to ensure him success
over the candidate of the new ('angled “Op
position Party.” At the close of Col.
Speer's remarks, Col.O. A. Lociiraxe took
the stand, and for ovei an hour, spoke in a
strain, sometimes of overpowering elo
quence ; then in a vain of satire--s,ud then
again of humor—which only those who
have heard this gifted gentleman, can ap
preciate. Would that we could say more,
but that is r.ow impossible.
In a few brief remarks from the President
of the day—the Sun having now approached
near to the horizon, this meeting, long to be
remembered in this vicinity, was adjourned, j
The effects to flow from it who can tell? Like j
vultures the abolition hordes of the North j
will assail Senator Iverson; Seward and his
elan; Douglas and his followers; the trench-;
erous and the timid; the time-serving and the j
recreant, will all assail. Southern men, j
Georgians, who of you will falter? Who!
will continue to submit, and in degradation j
serve a Northern Master? Wc trust none! j
Stand ui) then, one and all, and with the
j ‘ .
i gallant Iverson, lot the South demand in j
I tones of thunder that shall reach every free-
I soil, black republican heart —“Equality in
, the Union, or Independence out of it, now
and forever !”
Wrought Iron Cotton Screw.
i Geo. A. Cunuingham, of Upson county,
having purchased the right of ‘Massey’s
Patent Wrought Iron Screw,” for packing
cotton, offers superior inducements to plant
ers who may wish to avail themselves of its
use at a low price. r l hose who have tried
the Screw, in the most flattering terms
of it. The simplicity of it, constitutes its
great value. “It can be put up in the lint
room and worked by baud.” Whatever
saves labor in farming, or any otlvr pur
suit, is worthy of being looked alter ; and
should receive the attention of the enter
prising and industrious everywhere. See
advertisement.
TSic Sickles affair Again.
Some of the New York papers state that
lion. Dan'l Sickles and h.s wife are again
“enjoying each other's refined society ’ —that,
they have made up their former difficulty.
1 Their love for each other is said to be strong
|er than ever. At the time Sickles killed
Key, we sympathised with him. We have
none for him now, and consider that his
course will have a tendency to lower the
standard ts morality and virtue in certain
I circles. Love, however, it is generally eon
! ceded, hides a inultitude-of faults. It may
be so in this case.
First District.
The Democracy of the first District, in
Convention at Waresboro on the 13th inst.,
nominated Judge P. lb. Love a? a con did ato
for Congress. Col. Seward, the former
Represctative, withdrew his name from the
| canvass.
Second District.
Hon. M. J. Crawford has been nominated
for re-election to Congress, by the Demo
crucy of the second District. A better
nomination could not have been made.
Eighth District.
A Democratic Convention will be. held
in the city of Augusta on Tuesday, tli 26th
inst, to nominate a candidate for Congress,
vice Hon A. 0- Walker, who declined to
accept the nomination tendered him by a
former Convention of the party in Ue
Eiglh.
Correction.
Last week we mentioned the killing of
Dr. Nelson by a man named Worthy, ut
Thundering Springs, in Upson county. The
difficulty occurred at the Warm Springs, in
the same county, iustead of the former place.
We make the correction cheerfully, for the
benefit of those interested.
Maj. Camming and Rev. Wm. Moseley.
The following sentiments, from the above
named gentlemen, were read from the stand,
on the occasion of the late Iverson dinner in
this city on the 14th inst. They flow from
honest hearts, and will be read with interest
by the friends of each :
Santiment by Maj. Gumming.
The war of 1812. the second war of In
dependence, declared and successfully fought
against Great Britain, in defence and main
tenance of Free Trade and Sailors’ Rights;
the right of expatriation and naturalization,
now acknowledged to be a part of iuterfta
tional law.
Seutim* it cy Rev. Wm. Moseley.
Hod. Alfred Iverson ; the honest man.
the good citizen, the- able jurist, the wise
Statesman ; may lie again be elected to the
Senate of the United States.
Griffin District.
The Democratic party of the Griffin Dis
trict are requested to meet at the Court
House, on Monday next, at 10 o'clock, A.
M., to appoint Delegates to the Convention,
which meets fiast Tuesday in August, to

l'hc Weather, J&c.
For several days past the weather has
j been oppressively hot. A. good shower of
rain occasionally seems to cool the atmos-!
phere so one can draw his breath freely.— ;
The crops are in a fine growing condition j
and doing just as well as it is possible lor :
them to do.
Reduction of Fare.
The Macon & Western and Central Rail j
Roads have reduced the fare upon their re- ;
spectiye roads for the benefit of those who ’
may wish to travel up the country in search ;
of health. This is a start in the right di- j
rection, ur.d we hope it may be kept up.— j
The Southern people have too long already, |
given their money to the North in search of
health and pleasure, when the elements
both are right in our midst, to be obtained j
at a much less expense. Read the notice of
A. L. Tyler.

Special Notice to Book Buyers.
As there are parties of doubtful responsibility
advertising Gift concerns, and some are making
many large promises, under fictitious names, with
out the intention or ability to fulfill them, hoping,
through the popularity of my enterprise, to deceive
and plunder the public, a strict sense of duty com
pels me to warn all against them. And if auy are
deceived and cheated by them, they should not be
so unjust as to condemn me along with them, for
they are base imitators of an enterprise that has
cost me an immense amount of time and money to
place in the position it now occupies, comma ding
an extensive and increasing trade, approved and
endorsed, with the most entire freedom and confi
dence, by the leading Publishing houses in the
Uuion, whose letters of approval and endorsement
are in my possession, and will be produced and
shown at any time with the greatest pleasure.
