Digler's majority in the State 81

" The result in Georgia is among the most crafty.
ing, as it among the most significant, political events VI
the day.
Mr.. Cobb, who is nc w elected Governor by the unpre-
cedeDted majority, in that State. OF nearly twenty thon-
sand, was one of the earliest and most efficient, as well
IS able and fearless OF the advocates of the Compromise
in the last Congress. He was foremost in the House of
Representatives in his efforts 10 bring about the adjust.
ment of the irritating and dangerous questions which
agItated the nation. His intrepid and resolutc course
drew upon him the bitter enmiiy, not merely of ultraists
at the North, but of uItraists at home. The sectional
ism OF both extremes OF the conlederacy, with scarcely
less virulence at the South than at the North, clamored
for its revenge upon the man who had borne so conspic-
uous a part in the great work of pacifcafion.
MIR. Cobb sought his Justification in a direct appeal to
the people OF Georgia. He was presented, distinctly,
as a champion OF the Compromise and the Union, aS
against Secessionisn and Disunion, North and South.
No canvass in that State, ar any other, was ever con-
No effort was omitted to defeat MIR. Cobb, and TO pro-
cure a popular verdict against him and the measures of
which he was the exponent, by the enemies of both.
How triumphantly both have come out of the contest,
is now matter of history. Never was the public voice
more emphatically expressed. N yer was sertionalism,
in the form which the Infection takes in that quarter,
more signally rebuked and reprobated.
Georgia certainly has done more than could reasona-
bly, have been expected or hoped for, towards putting
down her domestic agitators. Ii remains fr the North
To do equal Justice To its branch of the allied disturbers
Of the public tranquility. Pennsylvania has already
spoken out. New York. we trust aud believe, will in
turn respond TO Pennsylvania. Tiat State after State,
at the North, will contribute t. enforce and impress tie
lesson which the result in Georgia teaches, the signs Of
the times clearly indicate.-AibGny .Argus.

Exclusion of Negroes from the Free state.

The question Of excluding negroes from the free States
is beginning To be seriously agiiarcd in New York and
elsewhere. The outrages committed by negroes and
their Ambition allies, thot "f late have become so frequent
in different States, has caused many of the sober reflect
ing men OF all parties, to think seriously uf adopting
some other mode of getting rid Of these wars tha-
threaten to destroy the peace Of society if not the Union
itself.
The New York Express, says the Baltimore Sun, in
referring to the conduct of the ahuliiiouisis ia Syracuse,
on the occasion of the late riot, says that il new begins
10 be time 10 agitaie anniher question. and that is, the
exclusion by lao Of the immigration of blacks into the
free States. as Indiana has already done. II every run
away negro is to hing with him a Syracuse fight, the
Express demands that they forbid negroes by Law from
coming TO N w York. They have in that Stste already
prohibited Them from voting uuless they have n large
property qualification; and. no doubt. says the Express,
a majority to prohibit their entry there could be got just
as large AS tina; which prohibited them from voIiBg.
We cannot afurd 20 make the free States a battle. ground
for runaway negroes. Such suggestions as these are Of
grave import tn the colored people every here. Ia those
in the slave States as well as others. and would seem 10

To ultimately for self-Preservarion. We are glad To sec
that in New York and other quarters they are beginning

The Presidencr.

A correspondent Of the Philadelphia National Argus,
writing from this city, says:
I" Senator Douglas is announced 10 speak here on
Tuesdsy night. The gallant little Senator has many
admirers here and his name rallies some friends IN con-
neciion with the Presidency. The Cass men manifest =
decided disposition to rally npon Douglas This State,
however, lies between Buchanan and Cass, the former
OF which is gaining ground very rapidly. He IS tho
strongest man who could be nominated, so lar as TINS
State is concerned"
Senator Douglas is a great little fellow; has made
hosts Of new friends during his short stay with us; would
make a brave run for the Presidency; and 1t nominated;
will find MS with him heart and soul. 30 would "oid
Buck > or any other National Democrat.
But the writer is mistaken when he say. Mr. Bucha-
nan is the strongest man that could he nominated, as lar
as this State is concerned. Gen. Cass has the warm,
frstlove of the Democracy Of onr State. Douglas has
the strong sympathies Of hosts OF our working men IN
his favor, who admire him for his great mind, which has
led him from the bench Of the mechanic to a prominent
seat in the Senate Of the United States. Gen. Butter,
the scholar, soldier, and defender of jackson, is also .
strong man with ms. Our people love the man. ana
would come up in solid phalanx to his support. Either
of these gentlemen are at least as strong IN our State as
Mr.. Buchanan. -Baitimor .frgus.

pWe learn from the President Of the Bellefontaine
R. r. company, that the low waters Of the Ohio, have
kept back the iron to so late a period in the season, that
the interest of the company will induce him to suspend
track laying on the road at Chesterfield for the winter,
to be resumed as soon in the spring as tho ground may
be sufficiently settled. This we understand will not ef-
feet the time of the final completion of the work, as the
iron will be laid to Muncie before the bridge over White
river, and the embankments there, can be completed in
the spring, SO that Chesterfield, flty.two miles from our
city, will be the head Of the line during the winter, to
which point the cars will run daily. except Sundays.

OGov. Wright, we believe, subscribed 81 1000 to-
wards establishing an agricultural professorship In
Greencastle college, provided about nine other like sums
could be r~aised.-FountGin Ledger.
This is rue, Mr.. Ledger, and occurred some FIVE
years since. The professOrship was TO have been called
after the Iamented Howard, one of the best men Of the
nation and the warm and devoted friend of Agricultural
education.
We hope the scheme as originally proposed by Gov.
Wright and others, may yet be carried out, and that
similar prolessorships will be established in al the col.
legs of the State. Such a department would be recu-
liarly appropriate in the State University.

The defeat Of Hon. Henry Bedinger in the Harper's
Ferry District, a Gistria heretofore decidedly demo-
cratic, was caused by Mr.. B~edIngcr's refusal to endorse
the compromise measures. After his nomination he ad.
vecated the abstract right Of State secession, and con.
demned some Of the compromise measures. This Course
induced Richard Byrd, Esq. Of Winchester, to announce
himselfa candidate, who, after canvassing the district for
some time, declined leaving the field to Bedinger, and
Faulkner, the Independent Wing. Many Union Demo-
Gratis refused TO support Mr. Bedinger, and the resut
was his defeat. A result over which we have no tears
20 shed.

Character of Col. Davis.

A correspondent of the Pittsburgh Gazette gives the
following sketch Of Col. Jefferson Davis, of Mississippi.
From our previous Information we presume it is not
ovcrdrawn:
"The news from Mississippi is conflicting. After the
newspaper had teemed for a week with announcements
that Col. Jefferson Davis had declined the nomination for
Governor, rendered him by the Secession party, We have
an apparently authentic statement that he has accepted
it, issued an address TO the people Of the State, and re.
signed his sett in the Senate of the United States, 10
which he was appointed only last spring to a full term Of
six years. There are many contradictory points in the
character OF Col. Davis. He is a gallant soldier, yet in
his private department he is one Of the vainest and most
disagreeable Of men. He possesses learning. great elo-
quence and ingenuity in debate, and many Of those quail
tiles which are accustomed
"The applause Of listening Senaies to command"
yet he often violates the comities of senatorial and gen.
tlemsnly intercourse. He is desperately ambitious, hut
this trait is tempered and contrasted by a disinierested-
ness most remarkable in a public man of this country
or, indeed. of any country. Just after the fame Of his
conduct at Buena Vista had come to the knowledge OF
President Polk. he offered him the post of Brigadier
General in the line OF the Regular Army, a promotion
and distinction dear TO ev5ry man brought up, as Colonel
Davis had been, tn the profession Of arms. But he de.
clined it on the plea that be had been opposed upon prin-
ciple to comforting those appointments in the line npon
civilians or volunteers. to the prejudice OF the regular
officer. Ard now, it appears, with the certainty of de-
feat before him, at the eleventh hour of the contest, he
assumes the leadership Of a falling party. and deliberate.
w abandons his coveted position in the most august and
powerful legislative body in the world. His is a fanati-
cism which has something of The heroism about il, though
franght with innumerable mischiefs and evils 10 anv CON-
musity which may be so unfortunate as to be misled by it.

The Jenny Lind Concert in Cincinnati.

Ihe Enquirer says:
1.-THE assemblage on Wednesday evening, notwith.
standing the incemency of the weather, was q very
fashionable one. The crowd was not dense, a number
Of seats throughout the room being vacant. but that
was not an objection TO the comfort Of those who were
present.
Miss Lind looked more interesting than when we first
heard her in the city. Her summer rest seems to have
improved her much. Possibly it was the impulse OF our
fancy, but We imagined that she sang more sweetly
than then,-with more power, clearness, melody and
pathos. She won the admiration of her auditory, and.
if we could read them Alright, in their stimation stood
in the empire Of music the rnatchless Queen.
Belletti performed a solo on the olarionet with mar
Vicious skill. Salvi, the sweetest yet powerful tenor,
fairly enraptured his hearers with two at least Of his
songs. Burke discoursed in the rich notes of his violin,
and Goldscbmidt called down praises from the amateurs
by his skilfnl performance upon the piano"
