The D-1-'gates from the different Districts 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 nominate candidates for the Legislature. — 1 ~ 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.
