Hr. Hill Deape rate
We have for some time past, felt that noth
in? bnt despair and rage springing from des
peration, could induce one of Mr. Hill’s sense
and position to go to tbe ex'fetae lengths
which he now does in every speech we bear
from him. Tbe respectable portion of the
community of all parties expect, and their
moral sense will ever demand, that their repre
sentative men shall conduct themselves with
fairnesi and honor and with due regard for the
proprieties of social intercourse As support
er* of Judge Brown, wo feel a profound satis-
la tion that in all the attacks made upon him
by bis opponent and his opponent's partisan*,
not ooe word ha* ever been ventured t> t, against
the gemlentaolv Ivarisg and strict re-sard for
truth which have ever distinguished Judge
Brown's prints an ! public conduct. While
he has met acd confuted with stringent and
imposing austerity every attack of the opposi
tion, he has never forgotten that he was a uen-
Ueman and that a decent respect wu.- due the
feelings of those who* party errors he exposed.
This, though it be all we shall ever liave cor.'
■e'ed in Judge Brown's favor by his political
..utagonist, is still very high praise For,
wbat shall it protit an aspirant if he succeeds,
or his purty either, if be does so by a wide
spread perversion of public feeling and morals.
We fain would lie respectfhl toward- the
American candidate for Governor ani oiy of
him the severe things which public justice de
mands should be said, more in sorrow than in
auger. In this mood, acd speaking of Mr
fiill, the candidate of a large body of men
respectfully, then we say it. that never have
we known the public man in our long experi
ence who has in to many cases, without
grounds, without measure, without dignity or
regard for public decency, outraged that pro
priety and gravity of deportment that should
ever mark the course of a leading public man.
lie has in many cases, as we hear, acted di
rectly towards his honorable opponent on the
-tand, with disrespectful freedom and levity of
manner, and de*ceo*kd to those petty tricks of
tbe stump more befitting the character of the
■bar la tan anJ player, than the status of a can
didate for the highest office in oar gift. In re
gard to humbler men who stood in Mr. Hill’s
way he lias deported himself in web style as
f itself to justify his overwhelming reproba-
tmo by the people. - < ioda, what sort of,meat
dot* this man feed upon ' that he should treat
tbe honor and fair fame of common met. as his
footstool ? Let Mr. Hill boast as be may, for
the sake of rirfgar capital of his small begin-
nings in life, and his unaided straggles, and
bis democracy (!) and so forth, but his haughty
and insulting contempt for- tbe chara ten
men he thinks beneath him proves him ' be
one of the most remorseless aristocrats that
ver livtdamongst os. Let it be a- lie wishes
then. Let him, as be seems to fancy it, be
ihen tbe candiiiite of the broad-cloth gentry,
the candidate " of nil the talents and alt
tbe decency." We accept tie gage.—
We thank God for it that tbe cardin
al doctrine of the Democratic party is
that merit am merit only makes the man.
If he is only a tar greaser—and greases his car s
well—faithfully and a- a raafi should &!w5vi
grease cars, then will toe public |*:th of the
people protect him from Mr II.. -scorn „ n d
brand, Mr. Hill with shame if l a'umoiatea
him. Mr. Hill himself goes up and
ibe wandering Jew, asking mm and devils f . :
all they can do, to put him into office—U , t ;
my Lord this is only proper. But an Editor
id this State holds a little office, nothing like
what theclenr fellow dervi*, and because be

The White Cravats of the North
All history .lemonstrates the fact that reli
gious fanaticism is dangerous in power,—it

son and humanity : for it has iia crmtuenct.—
Ami such 13 the soul of Know Xolhingnm,

presented in the recent traitorous letter of the
White (ratals to the President of the United
States, reprimanding him for eutoreiug the
salutary laws ot the land. The monster when
be first showed bis clovenfoot in tbe form of a
party in the United States, wes rightly ebrist-
emd a Know Xothing, ami he then openly
J avowed his hostility to the Constitution, by
excluding "Catholics" from his office)--which
he held in expectancy—and by swearing eter

this fanaticism was checked by the manly spir

Democratic Meeting last Night.
A large meeting of the Democratic party
took place last night at the City Hall—J'
M. Smvtbe, Esq., in the Chair, and Wm,
il. Pritchard acting as Secretary.
\ committee was appointed to report the
names of suitable persons as candidates for
the legislature ; which committee was com.
posed of E. D. Latterstedt, 1. P. Garvin, G.
W. I.amar, T. .1. Jennings, E. A. Tarver
Wm. 11. Howard and John Bridges. The
commute,' reported the following resolutions
which were adopted by the meeting :
Itosuhed, That the Democratic party of
Richmond county will not nominate a can
didate for the office of .State Senator, hut
they will unite with the friends of Hon. C.
J. Jenkins, our present Senator, in support
ing him for re-cleetion ; believing that the
varied and important interests of our coun
try. at this time, require in our representa
tive to the Senate, the experience, rapacity
and influence, which that gentleman posses
ses in such an eminent degree.
Resolved, That Edward J. Walker, Esq.,
and Judge James I). McNair, he nominated
us candidates for the representative branch
of the legislature.
The meeting was addressed by Col. Eoch-
uase, of Bibb, and Capt. Walker, of this
MR. LOCHRANE’.S ADDRESS.
H e were unable to attend tbe Democratic
meeting at the City Mull last evening, except
for a few moments, and arc indebted to a
friend who was present, for the following sketch
of the speech of C .1. Cochrane, < f Macon.—
He protests that i is but a sketch, and a very
hasty and imperfect one, of the remarks of the
eloquent speaker
Mr. I/ochrask commenced by saying he haj
noexcuse to offer for addressing them opou the
political question* of the day
Though born in Ireland, be addressed iliern
as an American citizen, invested with thepriv,
ileges of citizenship before he was eighteen
months in the country by an act of the Eegis-
| lature—that his destiny was with the ^Houtb,
; bis children slept in southern dust, the spring
| of a southern clime would shed its green upon
his grave.
i He allnded to the claims Ireland had upon
—asou of joy and domestic affection, u e '-his country, and remarked, “inetbirik3 I sec her
Ireu 1 to-night rise- up in tier grave—I hear the rus
tle of her grave clothe-—I see her eye* gazing
with Lope acro j * the ocean —I see her linger
p ,int to spots of history when her sons bared
their arms for your rights and baptised with
their blood the Constitution—1 see her point
to her •ienate House when she voted Benjamin
Franklis, a seat, in honor of his country, and
I se<' her point to a Banker Hill raised in
nonor of America upon Irish soil. ' In the
ties of blood and ancestry, we read the lines of
a thousand liviog sympathies. He remarked
that it was his right to speak as it was the
right of all to differ with him who believed
him wrong—advocated the right of free thought
— that it spurned the pestilence of authority,
a.id was the blood, brain* aud body guard of a
free Republic.
He took up the great question of foe can vase
ami at once went into a discu'sion of the Kana
soa qaeston. He alluded to the prreit on of the
American party on this sabject, in 18.54 and
1815, their cordial approval of the Kanms
bifi—thsir final repudiation of it—their lauda-
wbeu tumifie* assemble! when
cam*.- boon- from -chool, when quarrels were
mu!', up, when < arois were heard in every
street, when tvry house wu.- decorated with
erergri u-, and-very tab!* loaded with g d
cbe:r. At that season, ail hearts not destitute
of kindness, were enlarged aod softened. At
that seasoo the poor were admitted to partake
largely of the overflowings of the wealth of
the rich, wh'>.- bounty was peculiarly accepta
ble on account of tbe shortnew of the days
and ol the severity of the weather. At that
season the interval between Landlord and ten
ant, master and servant, was lea* marked than
through tbe rest of the year. Where there is
much enjoyment there will lie some cxceas;
yet ou the whole, tbe spirit in which the holi
day was kept was not unworthy of a Christian
festival The long Parham' sit gave orders, in
1644, that the twenty-fifth of December should
be etri. t!y observed as a IdSt, and that all men
should pass it in humbly bemoaning the great
nahona sin which they and their fathers had
eo often ccmm tied on 'bat day by romping

port of bbp «po» t|b ftiGrt tt*t he tail m
domed tb* pfWpl* of tmfmlMi sect ion— Mr.
Fillmore's repudiation of iheir construction of
lbs Utah and New Mexico bills -their tfcrl-
fict of principle to parly—their opposition to
tbe very bHb opposition tb which limy had de
clared was "hostility to the constitutional rights
of tbe Soulh''—their squatter sovereignty ar
guments, and the disposal of them by tho Su
preme Coun of the United States iu the Dred
Sro/fdecialou—their denunciation of Walker
for violating a bill which they denounce, mid
which their candidates say they would not
have voted for—their attempt to adopt the
third resolution of the Democratic Stale Con*
vantion—their misrepresentation iu asserting
that the Democratic party had abandoned that
resolution, Ac., A.
He then reviewed the position of the Demo
cratic jiarty upofi the Kansas question—show-
i*l that that party had passed the Kansas bil>
—Bad vindicated iti principles in (he last
I’rcsic.enlial election, and that to that party
tbe people of the South must still look for its
viudicatiou and for its preservation in its “true
intent aud meaning,'' aguinst Walker, tbe
American party, cr anybody else, who either
violate its principles or denounce them.
He tHt-o referred to the election of Mr. Buc
hanan—to live assertion of true principle of
tho Kansas bill in his inaugural address—to
his renunciation of squatter sovereignty in thnt
address, and to the composition of his cabinet,
showing that there were three sound northern
men in it, four southern men, and that Mr.
Buchanan, thus fur. independent of the recall
of Walker, had uot done or left undone any
thing to which the South could object.
He then alluded to the appointment of Uov-
arnor Walker—his entry into Kansas—the
popularity of his appointment, and tbe quietude
of the couutry—his course there, which he con
demned—did not lielieve Mr. Buchanan sus
tained him or would sustain him. His letter
to the forty fools indicuted a very material dif
ference between Mr. Buchanan and Mr. Walk,
er. tjueslions of great delicacy surrounded his
recall—among those he noticed the course pur
sued by a portion of tbe pro-slavery party of
Kansas, which he condemned and the fact that
Gov. Walker was sits aiuing law aud order in
Territory, against the revolutionary aud dis
organizing action of the Black Republicans.
These and other things, afforded reasons why
Mr. Buchanan should hesitate to recall him,
and should leavs it to the Senate to adjudge
his acts.
He would not denounce Mr. Buchanan as
an Abolitionist—as soon call him a perjurer on
the testimony of the forty fools—as soon call
God an Atheist on the evidence of aD Aboli-
tioo preacher. He did not agree with the ul
tra men on this subject—Senator W ilson, of
Massachusetts, had denounced him as a pro
slavery propagandist, and said he held tbe
doctrine ‘ that the Constitution carried shivery
wherever it went.” Others denounced
oppo«ed to slavery.
It was easy to denounce men—public ucts
were easilp misrepresented when we could Dot
interpret public motives. Oa this subject he
(Mr. L ) would hear Mr. Buchanan himself
speak, and on bis owu words lie would judge
him, not the misrepresentation of men who
deuonneed him a year ago, and were his polit
ical enemies/
He then alluded to the necessity of Demo
crats standing closer when their rights were
assailed. It was the beanty of Democracy to
hold public servants to account, and if Mr.
Waiker had acted badly, we would discharge
him—if Mr Buchanan did so, we would dis
charge him. Their treachery would not affect
the principles of the party—the party would
'ive when men who bail betrayed or deserted it
would be in the dust. Democracy had made
• his country what it was, and would carry it
still higher in the scale of nations —its destiny
was onward and upward, ami when all else de
eayed, Democracy would be vigorous and
youthful—men would yet lie born who would
applaud its principles when the Monument of
Banker Hill would be a ruin.
He closed his eloquent address, by referin
briefiy to the change of face and position of
the American party towards Catholics and
foreigners—to tbe sudden affection which its
candidates bad conceived for tlu-se classes of
our population : and payiog a well-deserved
tribute of praise to Messrs. Brown, Stephens,
and other Democratic candidates, he called up'
on the naturalized citizens who hpard him, to
Stand by the Democratic flag ; otid upon tbe
Democracy, to close up its ranks and press
forward to another glorious victory <>f princi
ple
.fn Indiun fight.—The Independent Mes
senger, of Saturday last, under a flaming
head, speaks of the arrival of a gentleman
from the plains, on tbe previous day, who
reported that he saw an express man with
dispatches from Fort Kearny to Leaven
worth. He stated that Col. Sutnncr had
overtaken the Cheyenne Indians, retreating
rapidly toward the Arkansas; that a severe
battle ensued, immediately after Col. Sum
ner had come upon them ; that the action
resulted “ in the indiscriminate massacre of
four or five hundred Indians, men, women
and children.” And when all this was
done, it was gravely added, that Sumner and
his men were “ subsisting entirely upon
Buffalo meat." We must be permitted to
doubt the correctness of this news. It is
hardly possible that Col. Sumner, who had
really several very hard accounts to settle
with the Cheyennes, would yet so far forget
himself as to make war upon women and
children, as stated. We doubt very much
whether the battle waB fought at all; hut if
it was, no officer of the American army

Atlanta, September I fnh.
Mr. E. B. WALKER,
■Sir I, with the rest of the Conductors of
this Road, received your circular, * ailing for in
formation about an overcharge lor passage on
the Western & Atlantic Railroad,exactedof Mr.
B. H. Hill, as you say he has alleged in a pub
lic speech. 1 cannot, in justice to myself, (the
person implicated.) give you an answer yea or
nay, without a word of explanation. You
know very well, sir, that for the last eight
months I have been on tho Road in the capac
ity of a common train hand, and havo had no
thing to Jo with a Conductor's buaiue s, till the
heavy press of work ot the fine, callod for ex
tra help in the running of trains.
A few days since, about the 1st ol the mouth
I had chnrge of a train, which I bad orders *o
run just behind the one in charge of Conduc or
Wing, and which tram I was running by Mr.
Wing's lead. Two gentlemen g ton my train
at Cartersville, and when I called upon them for
fare, 1 charged one dallar and fifty cents. All
the rigmarole of Mr. Hill about my various
charges of $2, $1 50, and finally !}>1, is simply
a falsehood. I charged Mr. Hill and the other
pera'n on the train, $1 50 a piece, an I no more
or less. This money f r-turned to the proper
receiving officer, and there stands tho entry of
these two sums on my hook, *nd the entry and
payment o! them made without prompting from
any knowledge of these charges of Mr. Hill
which havo just been brought to my knowledge
by your circular. I frankly atmit that this was
an overcharge of twenty five cents, and Win
Pate, one of our old Conductor*, will teatify
that I asked him at Marietta if the charge was
right, for never having had the control of a
train in uiy life, until a few Jays be furs this
time, I feared I might bo wrong. Mr. Pate told
inc tho regular charge oil a height train without
a ticket, was $t 35. I then looksd over the
company at the Hotel to find both tha gentles
men to return them their money; hut fading to
do so, 1 made tbe payment to the proper oflicer,
ol .$3 00.
It does seem to ine, sir, a plain man, having
nothing but a good name to depend on in this
world, that this is a harsh judgment of Mr.
Hill, and I know it is an unjust one. Ceuid be
have believed, or hoped, that in this transaction
that I was some thing else than a rogue’ The
facts as they aie, and asj give them, show how
easily he might have given some better explan
ation of my conduct, than he has done at New-
nan, Covington, Griffin, and I suppose will do
everywh re else he speaks, from now until Oc
tober.
I have, as you know, sir, had no experience
aa a Conductor—was only placed in charge of
a train for a few days, and have returned to my
old post as a train hand, now the press of our
business does not need me os a Conductor. If
I hare played the rogue in th * instance, dwelt
on with such joy by Mr. Hill, it was without
any motive. 1 played tbe thief, au Mr. Hill has
been playing tbe demagogue, ad for tun and no
pay. Poor and humble as I am. I have, thank
God, always borne tho character of a truthful and
honed man, and Mr. Hill is the first man who
has said otherwise. I am thankful too, that the
acciunt between Mr. Hill and myself, and the
public, bad as he tries tv make me, leaves such
