Twenty thou sand Democrats in the Field! The Democracy of Indiana have spok en in thunder tones, to their brethren throughout the Union* On the 29tli of August, they held a monster mass meet ing at Indianapolis, which is said to he the largest political demonstration, ever held in the State. We make room for a few extracts from speeches delivered the occasion, and the resolutions. Such sentiments, coming as they do, from the North, give assurances that there are still left among the fanatical abolitionists, fusionists, arid traitors of every hue and shade at fhe North, a no ble Spartan band, who will defend the constitution, and give the South the rights therein, guaranteed to her: “ Hon. John W; Davis moved that Judge Al vin P. Hovcry, of Posey county, take the chair ; which was adopted. “ The President, upon taking the chair, said ; I thank you for the compli ment conferred. The assemblage of this vast multitude of representatives speaks a language that cannot be misunderstood. It is the upheaval of the democratic principle of the State, and no ordinary cause has produced it. You have come from your homes for no vain dis play—the Democratic party delights not in ostentation or parade—but you have come well knowing that a nation’s preservation depends upon the party with which you are connected. The annals of our country preseut no paral lel with the present. “ The dark pages of 1854 and 1855 must record tlie bigotry, the treason, and the degeneracy of thousands of American-horn freemen ; tlie oath, tlie torch, flie knife, have been the argu ments with which they have in some in stances temporarily triumphed. Argu ment is not required to show that the know-nothing party has trampled the constitution and laws of our country un der foot. To state their principles anil practices is to demonstrate this asser- tion. “ To the foreign-bom citizens they deny that equality which is emblazoned iu living light on the glorious Declara- Fiom the Atlanta Imelli^eneer. Opposition to Got. fohb. It is with much mortification that we learn of the announcement of a candidate in opposition to Gov. Cobh, who, while professing to he a Democrat, enters tlie campaign under 1\. N. auspices. Had that party seen fit to run its head against a post while fairly represent cd.jry one of its own members, we, t o far from regret ting the circumstance, would have rejoic ed in tlie faefe. We needed just some such a foil as this to setoff our victory in the Gth District. But the idea conveyed by the present, antagonism to our regu lar ticket is, that those members of the Democratic party having Southern Rights affinities have also Southern Rights grudges and revenges that are to nurtured and indulged at, “all hazards and to the last extremity.” We for our part have nothing to keep hack in rela tion to this view of our past party rela tions. While we differed with Gov. Cobh in our notions of State policy and sec tional policy as applicable to the then state of the Republic, wo did so without mincing our words. If we did not sin against moderation nnd justice in that opposition, heaven bears us witness we sinned not, at least in our purposes. But * we will just as plainly and unreservedly avow our present full accord with Gov. Cobh in his views of Southern policy and State aetiou. In our opinion there is not a man living in the South, old or young, whose heart and whose resolves arc more truly and sternly loyal. One must love to nurse his wrath, if for noth ing else, that it jnay he kept hot, who can see nothing in Howell Cobh’s course in the late Democratic Convention to ad mire and approve as a Southern man.— He to whom, in the greater part, we owe our present Stato plntform lias taken the lead in effecting in State politics what should have l>ecu done fifteen years ago in every Southern State. He* began at home to make a national party ; he built in Milledgeville a •platform for all Dem ocrats wherever found in this Union. To that platform all must conform before th ere can be co-operation with Georgia by the Democrats of tlie Union and by any oth er party whatever. The question then recurs, what does that platform lack of perfection ?—in what consists its short comings and how will opposition to the regular Democratic nomination reform or improve our published creed 1 One of the most crushing charges that Demo crats hurled upon the K. N. schism is, that without necessity and in the teeth of the constitution, causes of division and estrangement have been introduced into the South when our very political, yes, so cial existence depended upon the strength that unity alone could give us. Are not thefriendsofMr. Fraiiklinaggravativetliis evil? Ifhlcris u member of the K. N. party ana avows it, why there is an end of the argument. But if this is not the fact, as we learn, and he runs as a South ern Rights man who thinks that class of paj-tymen have an unsettled account with c-jEsT ^ ^ tion of American Independence, and, in violation of our federal and State con stitutions, they established religious tests for office. The leaders of this un principled party in this State year after year have vied with the democratic party in establishing the constitution and laws which they nbw spunt and despise. The journals of our constitu tional convention and laws of our State will fully 6how their former course and present baseness. “ They would now .willingly fasten upon your foreign-horn citizens the bonds of political serfdom. . “ Another party not less dangerous to our national existence is in ourmulst —a liighcr-law party, who spit upon and burn the constitution of our republic, and steal, as they conceive, with the np probation of God. No promises or con stitutional compacts in regard to the in stitution of slavery in the South isregard- cd by them. This many-headed party, ranging from the Bible-hating Garri sonian to the wily Sewardite, arc labor- ana associates w.m T V*~ these most revoking crimes is a partic-^ ipator in their guilt, and morally, if not legally, responsible for their acts. "RAohedr That we hereby proclaim r decided hostility to the principle and conduct of tjiat sectional and fanati cal party, known as abolitionists, who have so recently unfurled their banner of abolitionism and disunion throughout the northern States ; that wc view their proceedings with increasing apprehen sion of great injury to the peace and pros perity of our common eountry, and as being diametrically opposed to the pro visions and requirements of the consti tution of the United States, which, if violated, as they propose, must bring the dreadful result of disouion, civil war, the ruin of onr beloved country, and the destruction of the last pillar which sus tains the temple of Liberty on earth. 7“ Resolved, That we cordially reaf firm the principles of the Democratic National Convention of 184S and of 1852,. ns embodying the only practical system of action which can he taken on the great national questions to which they refer, and as best tending to perpet- uate.thc peace, harmony, and integrity of the Union. “* ' , “ Resolved, That we most positively and unequivocally condemn and oppose all attempts to control by force and vi olence tlie rights of free suffrage of citi zens at the polls, either in the States or Territories of this Union.

As qn evidence, the*“American party’' in OgTh-' thorpe herd a meeting, and have published that thn K. N, nomination, “ they do Hereby most emphatically repudiate as unwisc.and unpatriotic.” AndbeHevlng “that the crieio demanded that the Hon. A. H. Stephens should be returned to his post in Congress, they choose the part of patriotism rather than that of partizans.” While we believe Know Nothingism dangerous, this conduct shows, there are some among them, who have State pride, at d heads and hearts that will act as they concieve for the interest and good of the country. ,, Look at the 5th District, where the Demo cracy have, as their standard bearer, the Hon. ‘Jons H. Lumpkin. He has served in Con gress and his constituents know his great worth, as a sound, able,--'"reliable repre sentative. Can the people cast him aside, to entrust their rights to such a man as Lewis Tumlin, the Know Nothing candidate ? Can Tutnlin even make an effort at a speech in defense of his.princples? It is only neces- saiy for the people to contrast the two men to decide which one approaches to tho “purer days of the Republic.” Look at tire Sixth District. Of the Demo cratic and Anti-Know Nothing Candidate, the Hon. Howell Cobb, he is like Ste phens, one of the first and ablest statesmen in America. The people of this District, of Georgia, of the whole Union, know his proud fan and admire him. Lfct the most terrible crii arrive,, they feel and know lie is a man, whom they can confidently trust at the helm. Every charge of his enemies has fallen hafht- less at his feet, and he stands to-dav, firm and steadfast in the confidence and affection of the people. It is just such statesmen, that Georgia now needs* and the people know it. Upon what ground will his oppo nent, Col. Franklin, be supported ? Is it because he advocates Andrews or Johnson or Overby 1 Does he go with a National party, President Pierce, or a Sectional one ? In his letter, he started to define his princi ples. Did he take any ground against the heresy of Know Nothingism, which is now a great question before the people? Upon The Argument Ended. The questions involved in the present j Our present able Chief Magistrate having nteof in uoarma kotrn knnn Inmnnrvliltr « i • n* .■ . * contest in Georgia, have been thoroughly canvassed by the press and public speakers .of the State; and the time draws nigh when they are to be submitted to the public for decision at the ballot box.- In making up such a decision, it behoove* the patriot to weigh well in his mind the arguments which hare been advanced on either side, and vote accordingly. If the freemen of Georgia will do this calmnly and dispassionately, we will be content, let the verdict be what it may.— In doing tins- all party prejudice and former predilections should be thrown aside, and the only question asked—“which set of princi ples will best promote the interests and wel fare of my country!” On the one side, we have, the undying principles of civil and religious UBERTV; on the other, intolerance in its most proscriptive form, and an oath- bound organization which seeks to turn the government from its legitimate channel, and place it in the hands of men whose acts arc veiled from the public under the sanction of an oath, and whose National Council is to decide npou all questions of National poli cy. If Georgians are prepared thus blindly to submit to the dictation of a secret con clave, let them vote the “American!’ ticket; if not, cast your vote in favor bf the men arrayed agaiust those who have thu s used that sacred'name to finch Got.

At a mooting of tlie American party of Oglethorhe, hold this day, the follow ing Preamble and Resolutions wbtc pass ed, to-wit: of National Democracy. The late large and enthusiastic Democratic Convention iu Indiana, in passing national resolves, with sentiments friendly to the Sduth,' ind resolving to stand by our Consti tutional rights, come upon us iu these times of embittered feeling, as pleasant and blessed the benefits ofHrgrds, lijps the summer shower on the parch ed earth. They make us feel that we still love the people of this whole Union—that upon the National Democratic party rests alone its security and its safety; “ Like Hojjio tail clifi' whose awful form "* Swvllainfhcbrqezp.aud m'nlway leave* the storm, Though tuund it* brso ihe routine billow* spread, Eternal suaniline nettles on its head.'' *t And in Massachusetts, a iandonce proudly j adorned by a Webstrr and an Everett, whether, “f do not believe in,” in that let- i£, which is, as far as wc know, the only politicaldocument the voters oftfie Sixth Con gressional District have to base their opin ions upon! A ntan may be a good citizen and neighbor, an excellent gentleman in all the relations of life, but these things cannot demand our support for n seat- in the next exciting Congress, over wett^ried, faithful statesmen, who can eloquently “ give a rea son for the faith in them.” Know Nothings in their last gxtremity, have ta^ea up Col Franklin, and these will vote for him, though his Virginia Resolutions of *98 and'’99 must illy suit their taste. Let the people compare the two candidates. We arc willing to trust to their decision. A Know Nothing Trick Exposed. The Hon. David Irwin, candidate for fudge of the Blue Ridge Circuit, has been leforc the people of that Circuit, professedly as a no-party man—having a profound dis gust for “ the wild hunt for office,” and par ticularly for mixing politic^ with judicial elections. This idea has been kept promi nently before the people during tliq campaign; and the Democrats have been vilified and abused for running a party'man for that office. It has recently come to light that this pure, high-minded judge was ndminated hy a regu lar Convention of Know Nothings in Mari etta, six months ago; and it would probably have never been known had it not come out through a withdrawn member. The Atlanta Intelligencer very appropriately remarks: “Whatever, it may be, it surely is not that open, brave, singleness of purpose, that the “ pure at heart” is at all times ready to die by. Ills not that ingenuous candor that is born of the spirit of trutj). It is not that scornful avoidance of double dealing and in direction that should be the guide of manly honor, and that should be the polar star of him who guards the sanctuary of tho laws.” * > • ■—' f Assuming New Faces.

There.may lie parts of this confederacy that might not immediately feel the whole force of the shock, but the separation, should it ever come, cannot lie bloodless. The fair banks of the beautiful Ohio would be stained with gore. Our commerce would he paralyzed; our lands would be worth less ; and wc, a border State, would be left to bear the brunt of intestine war brought on by the illegal intermeddling of the fanatics of the North. Against all these illegal combina tions the democratic party is arrayed, and now calls upon every lover of free dom and constitutional rights to battle in her cause. “ The questions are no longer of a limited or sectional character, but the broad issue between the democratic par ty and its opponents is whether the con stitution shall be obeyed or disregarded, and on this issue, as the old whig party is no more, we call on cvcy national whig to do battle for the common cause of constitutional freedom. No; the law- abiding whig party is no more, but the constitution-loving, law-loving, peace- loving democratic party is not dean. 25.- 000 of its noble-hearted representatives are before me.

There are sound men in this party particular!j those from and about New York city. Let them leavo the Freesoil faction and join the National tnen. There are the New Yoik Hard Democra cy, whom the Southern Banner have never thrown aside, who ate with us on the great question of tho day. Amid the bowlings of fanaticism, the seductions of Freesoil Know Nothingism, they have been firm as the rock of Gibraltar on the Slavery question. Gen. T'djlor, on the b.itlle-field of Bgena Vista, said, “he would never leave his wounded behind him:” so the south, in its chivalry and true Amerfcaninm? though she may fall, will never desert her friends. gets a majority, and you permit not the pe stranger to/ amalgamate tfhd become part of us, he will, in self-defence have to form a band with others, persecuted like himself, and thus, instead of being part and parcel of onr strength, bound up in the same bundle of destiny and interests with us, as is the great idea of America, we have a body in our midst, disenfranchised to all^ intents and purposes, ‘by *reasoh N .of their religious opinions, and by reasonTtf their birth. If Know Nothings are sincere in being afraid„of foreigners and Catholics, let them do away with their Philadelphia Platform, which offers to the imigrant a “friendly recep tion and protection,” thus enticing them here Mr. Greeley, of the Tribune, some times forgets his isms, and confesses to a natural prejudice against the association of whites and negroes. In a recent let ter, describing the Cremorn Garden at, London, he says: : “The English are not skillful in vam- ishing vice—at least X have seen no.evi dence of their tact in that line. I have endured the spectahle of iqen dancinj with women when rather beery am smoking, but at las! the sight of a dark and by no means elegant mulatto, waltz ing with a decent looking white girl, while puffing away a rather bad segar, S roved too much for my Yankee preju ice and I started.” Stribbling G.

The people at heart are right; and they will sustain that which they honestly con ceive to be for thn honor and interest of th<£ country. Hot-headed politicians will, in times of excitement, vote for the candidate of their party, right or wrong, whether an able fit man ora blank. But there are many honest plain men who are not lead away by this prejudice who will sustain the man that they believe the most capable, and who will repfesenfc the State with the mos^ credit.— Let us look at the Congressional Districts around here, and see which party offers us the ablest statesmen, the most wise and reliable men., In the 8th District, there is the Hon. Alexander H. Stephens, whose fatue is national, and who stands as an orator and a statesman in the very first rank in America^ - - Who have the Know Nothings nominated in opposition to him? Mr. LaFaytUe Lamar, of Lincoln county, an estimable, high-toned gentleman; but' the idea of sending him to Washington over the head of Stephens could enter no brain, but that of the most intense bigoted Know Nothing. The people hare the jjood common sense to know 'who to make a degraded caste of them, aud-^ome out boldly in open day and say they shall not and upon our soil. Their secret proscription is no defense against the dangers they conjure up. if the stranger is to live amoffg us, let him become identified by the rights and privi leges which ennoble man. Don’t build up a Chinese wall between the heart, affections and associations of himself and ourselves. rAgain, has Know Noihingism stopped the spread of Catholicism ? No. It has done more to call it into notice, to strengthen it, and build it up than any thing else. Persecution has made the weak in the faith—strong, zealous supporters. It has ny its secret s vont proscription rallied to its defence the liberal minds of the nation, who stantftiy the great Constitutional idea of civil and reli gious liberty, tRat no religious lest shall be required for any office. That Barker, free soil to the hack-hone, and such confreres, should get into a cavern or seqret hiding place in the North, and concoct a system of government adapted to the great progress and giant strides of America is hardly credi ble. That any Southern man should ha7e been tickled^with his grips and signs, and spocious words is indeed miraculous. But thank Heaven, the Southern elections have torn aside the veil which hides the serpent. Cur people still believe that the great ques tions which are ta shape the destiny of our common country, can still be met and ex pounded by our wise, great, and good states man in open day, as they have been in the olden time. F«r an army to change its front in the hour of battle is an e- idence of its weakness; and the last dodges of Sun—some sending hack their charters to Wm^ Hone, and some ^browing off the secrecy, some retaining’the Lodges* as “valuable suxileries”—all show that^the sworn Order, ill its last extremity, is like a drowning man catching at straws; but the great wave pf Southern public opinion will soon roll over them forever. Sain, in some places, now cries out, that we have given up the oaths nnd Rituals, and grips, and are now the “American” party, and that injustice is done to charge these things on them. Gentlemen, you fought wife, your secret Lodges until public indignation whip ped it out of you, and you deserve no credit,' with defeat staring you in the face, to say “We drop then.” You may sty out bloody spot, but -there it remains. You inay cry we have no oaths, but we have read them. The stripes on the coon are there still. We wish the voters to remember that Judge Andrews, in Augusta, attempted to justify these oaths, that they are right—like a drunkard's oath, that they are necessary to keep him in the way he has promised. Are Americans so debased, that they must he sworn on ihc Bible, to enable them at the polls to act rightly and honestly ? And will Geor gians support the man, who puts upon their reputation such a slander ? The oaths are, in most places, being abandoned, but the vener able Judge of Universalist memory is trying' to defend them. Why don’t some of his friends take. pity on, and tell him he i9 be hind even tlie movements of his own party. -Are such teachings of Judge Andrews dem ocratic or republican?

It is the fortune of our great men to be assailed and the Know' Nothings have so acted te Gov. Johnson, with cven’vindictiveness; but from every charge he stands triqmphantly acquitted, like pore gold from the furnace*— It was published that he agreed in 1853, to meet Mr. Jenkins in Sparta and canvass the State together, but that he failed to keep his agreement, and went tq South-Western Georgia alone and addressed the people iq Jenkin’s absence. Jenkins immediately wrote a letter that the charge against Qov. Johnson was false. It was again said that. Got. Johnson had documents printed in Rome, in 1853, and then refused to pay for them. Mr. Dodd, of the Southerner, at whose office the work was done, writes adette’r which completely erW crates Gov. Johnson from that slander. The Know N othing press, gotTip a report about one A. G. Adams and the entering a tracts, of land at Milledgevitle. This ’ has- been proved an utter falsehood. The Know Nothing press have talked much of the “Cooper Bargain” a fid thfe State Road. -The letters of Msj(-Ct>Op9c*n that subject, are a complete vindication of Gov- Johnson. The honest masses will sustain the reputation- of our worthy Governor.— When has Gov. Johnson been found wanting upon any question ? The people know he is the man for this time, or for any emer gency. There is now circulating a ridiculous story yibout the selling of Slate Road Cars a t Chattanooga. - When the higher Courts set. tic that the debt is just against the State, Gov. Johnson will see that the Superinten dent pays it, and docs what is right in the matter; but he is not going ta pay out our money to those little Courts and its claimants around Chattanooga, so thtft if.we do recover we cannot get the moneyHlgain. The Can and Depot, they can-t run away with. Don't believe these slanders which they spriq just on tlie evp ot an election.
