So far as the other parties named are concerned, we regard them n ! l as essentially *' dead cocks in the pit.” It is true that certain designing demagogues and party hacks —aided by a few honest but misguided men, whom they have induced to remain with them around these dead carcases, are vainly endeavoring to galvanize them into a brief and spasmodic resus citation. But all their efforts will be worse than fruitless. As national or ganizations they are essentially dead, dead,dead! This being the case, we are willing to inscribe on their tomb stone a suitable memorial of all the good they have done—whilst the evil they have brought about we are willing to bury with their dead bodies in the tomb of forgetfulness.

The meeting was addressed by Judge Hilly er, our late Representative in Con gress As we only heard a portion of his speech, it would probably be unfair -to refer to it further than to say that he denounced the Know-Nothings. Whilst looking around upon the c:owd in the court-house, we discovered that the chairman of the meeting was a gentle man who, we were informed by all par ties, is one of the staunchest friends of he American platform in the up-couutry and a majority of those present—Demo crats aud Whigs alike—we recognized as being of the “ true faith !’ and the war best of the joke is, the members of “■ the Athens Junta’’ did not make the dis covery until after the meeting. Some of the dclegats appointed to the Stale Convention, we are informed, “ got up right thar in meetin !” and decliued going ! The truth is, the members of “the Junta” are standing in slippery places.

If we chose so to do, it would he a very easy matter to present the fellow to this declaration, if u totally opposite could be called such. Why, no longer ago than a number or two back this same papers declared ’war to the knife’ against “these midnight workers.” Now. he sees no harm *in the K.

Or that voice from Columbia so fully con vinced him that Sam was ‘about,’ and was‘coming,’ he thought he’d put him self at least where many of the good prints of our State now stand, (and which is characteristic of them,) v.z : where he could say, “ Good Lord— Good Devil.” No, hottest inquirer—true American —the American Party, as we have as serted befoie—as the Boston Atlas con tinually declares—as the Tribune echos, and as the National Era swears, ig nores the Abolition party and all else that lends to endanger our liberties and this “glorious Union.” every officer in the navy, in any of the wars in whirls this country has been en gaged since 1790,*' shall be entitled to land, &.C- Now, the idea suggested to the mind by these two forms of expres sion is identical, to-wit, actual service in a war. If the service is actual, and ia a waV, it must be at the seat of war. I cannot, therefore, entertain a doubt but that the constructions of these statutes should be the same. But, to enable us to entertain the true construction ol a law, we are permitted to look at Hie effects and consequences, or to tis spirit and meaning Now, if the construction claimed be adopted, e»ery person who was in the military or naval service of the United States dur ing the war with the Barbary Stales, in 180SJr’4. or - the Black Hawk war. i -S32,. or the Florida war, from 1830 to 1842, although they were thousands of miles irum tlie seat of war, will be enti tled (o':mi« hundred and sixty acres of land It makes no difference between the man who periled his life in the har bur ol 1 lipidi or.in the everglades of Fioriila and the man who was at the same time crusing in some distant waters or quartered at some spot where no hos tile foot could tread, if service in the army or navy only was intended by Congress, it should have omitted the words "in any of the wars; but.by using these words, it is evident that actual ser vice in such wars was intended to en title any one to land. 1 oin, therefore of opinion that no person can be a bcr.e- liciarj junder the fust section of the act ol March 3, 1855 who ha. not perform ed fourteen days’service at fhe seal of the war in which he shall claim to have ser ved.

There may possibly be some persons who are usually termed aboli tionists, who contribute to the funds of the Society ; but the fiercest invectives which have ever been uttered against the Colonization Society have proceed ed from abolitionists. I can think of no good reasons why Southerners may not yield their cordial support to the Colonization Society.— _ At its last session, the Legislature of Virginia made a large appropriation to- aid their funds; and I am happy to learn that within a few days past, more than one hundred dollars have been raised in. this town for the same purpose; S.

Tho Commissioner of Pensions has made the following important decision, in which he draws tho distinction be tween distant and actual service in time of war: Pension Offics, April 5, 1855. Sir: Frequent inquiries are made whether a person who was in the milita ry or naval service of the United States during any of the wars in which tin's country has been engaged Since 179UIs entitled to bounty laud under the act of March 3, 1855, if ho wa - wot at Hie seat of war. In executing the act of September 28, 1850, tbe Department early decided that no person could be a beneficiary, under that act, for military service dur ing any of the Indian wars since 1793, unies- be was at the seat of w*ar in which lie claimed to have served. This decision has been uniformly pursued, and has received the approbation of the present Secretary of the Interior. But it is now suggested that there is such a difference in the language of tbe Stat utes of September 28,1850, aud March 3, 1853, as to warrant the conclusion that Congress intended to make all per sons beneficiaries under the latter act who were in either military or naval service during any of said wars, whether they were actually at tbe seat of war or not. I here carefully collated the language of the two acts, and am unable to dis cover such a difference as will justify the conclusion claimed. The words of For the Southern tVatchiuan. Mr. Editcr : Having read the plat form of the American Party, I am as tonished that any man can possibly ob ject to any portion of it. It is certainly a desideratum long heeded; for, to my mind the old parties died with their two world-renowned leaders, Clay and Cal houn ; and the people, left without lead ers, were wandering sadly estray. In all ages of the world, God has had a peculiar family, community, or people, as the especial objects of his care atid kind regard; and his Providential pro tection has ever been clearly shown to them in everything that concerned them, either of a spiritual or temporal na ture. Any man who has ever read the history pf tlje early settlement of our country and her subsequent struggle for Independence and a national character, must have observed that a superintend ing Providence guided our venerated fore-fathers iu their early attempts to establish and fix a home and a country for their descendants—directed the en ergies of the leaders of our revolutionary struggle, proving a pillcr offire by night and of cloud by day—cheered and sus tained them in the darkest hour of trial and suffering—defeated the well-fed and well clad troops of the enemy—and ultimately crowned their efforts with a victory such as the world had never seen ncr can ever witue s again. In view of these great blessing*, one is irresistably forced to the conclusion that we are the favored people of Heaven, and that the Supreme Ruler of men and nations designs us as a peculiar people, that he may illustrate his high and holy designs through and by us as such,— Can any sane man doubt these positions? Does any one who has derived one drop of revolutionary blood or inherited one scintilla of the fire that animated the bosoms of those good and great men, cavil at the premises here laid down ? If there is such an one,I am not address ing these few rurabling’thoughts to him. Assuming that the positions here laid down are not questioned by any American,I will proceed to deduce argu ments therefrom to sustain the tiidyi now being, made by the people iff our country to perpetuate the sacred institu tions Vef(Calhi d to us by our fmhers. Mr. Jefferson remarked that there must needs be two parties in our coun try, and there has always been two par ties—there ever will be; there is a ne cessity for it; in the very nature of things it cannot be otherwise. The old Whig and Democratic parties are now hv common consent considered defunct-— tho people are now, as a nation, resolv ed back into their original elements— the masses are in a fused state—they are naturally casting about for some nucleus around which togather—the latent energies of this mighty people are quiescent; but though quiescent, they are not asleep. They have 6een the corruptions which have crept into the Government—the innovations which have been introduced'into the frame work of our system—they have beheld the gradual decadence of the stern in tegrity which should ever characterize the men to whom' the helm of the ship of state is entrusted-—and the attempt long ns the ark of the sacred Covenant was enshrined within its walls, aud when it was removed thence to be carried to the Temple, and those who i bore it seerried to loiter and stumble,and Gaiphinism could not be tolerated, and if its payment was required of him. by the President, the latter might consider ' his resignation in his hands 1 The heirs of Galphin were paid by the hands of those not belonging to the! virtuc of an act of Con g re f^ and the sacerdotal family were extended to save Payment <*t the claim, principal and in- it, they were stricken to the earth— ! terest, was authorized by the plain letter so let those who belong not to us be ad-1 of law, and the usages of the Depart monished to touch not the ark of our i ment, since tho organization of the safety, and intermeddle not with those j Government; and whether right institutions whose principles they do wrong,Mr.Fillmore s administration was not understand.

Society iu the estimation of slaveholder er, and see how the matter stands. The claim of the heirs of Galphin, the readers of your paper are familiar with ; and I shall not ei.ter into an investiga tion of its history, or the grounds on which its payment was advocated in or out of Congress. The act for the pay-! ment of this claim was passed during j the administration of Polk. The Con gress that considered and passed the law was overwhelmingly Democratic in both branches, and that the President (Polk) who sanctioned and approved the mea sure was slightly tinctured wi<h Demo cratic principles, all will admit. The act authorizedthe payment of the claim, saying nothing on the question of the interest, or its liquidation. The princi pal was paid by Robert J. Walker, Mr. Polk’s Secretary of the Treasury, and if I mistake not, it was the opinion of Mr Walker, and also of Mr. Polk’s Attorny General, the claim carried in terest with it, and that this should be paid by the Government. I am not cer tain about this, however. When Gen. Taylor canto into office, the interest was paid, in accordance with the decision of the then Secretary of the Treasury, supported by the written opinion of the Attorney General, the law officer of the Government. So that the claim and the interest accruing on it were paid, under and by virtue of “ an act of C(hf gress in that case made and provided.” This is a concise history of this claim, so {hr as the act for that purpose and the payment of the principal and inter-? est due on it are concerned. If it be said that the act did not authorize the payment of the interest, in its terms, I reply that according to its spirit it did so authorize, and in proof, refer to the opinions of the Secretary of the Trea sury and of the Attorney General whose decisions on questions of this sort r always By introducing into his ©ommunrcatiw the names of several citizens of Geor gia who have contributed to the funds of this Society, the writer seems dispos ed to condemn, as auti-Southern, a persons who patronize the Institute. Totally dissenting from the views of *'R and responding affirmatively to the question propounded" in the caption of .his article, I beg leave to offer reason or two for my faith, 1. The Colonization Society does not propose to disturb, in any way what ever, the relation of master and slave There is nothing in its constitution which contains, either expressly or by implication, the slighest censure ol Southern institutions. At*the last an niversary of the Society, held in W r ash ington city, the prominent speaker on the occasion remarked i “ You do not meddle with the question, whether sla very shall be abolished, or whether shall he perpetuated ; whether it shall be restricted within narrower limits, or shall be allowed to pervade a wider sphere; you do not consider yourselves a tribunal for the trial of offences; your work iff one of philanthropy, not of cen sufe. On the subject of slavery, you leave men to think and talk as they please.” 2. The Colonization Society propos es to remove from the country, a class of population whose presence amongst us, in any numbers, renders our ser vants restless and dissatisfied. I mean the free blacks. By providing, free can fix “ em”—Esspecially Politicians. My doctrine, Mr. Editor, is, when they get “on” the fence lay them “down,” on the shelf These “ fence men,’’Mr. Editor, puts, me in mind of an old Dutchman &- his son, going to look for their Caro. When they got to the branch, the old man says,- Shon, you go on de- •* tudderV side of de branch & I will go on dish side, for, I believe she i>h on both sides.” But when they fonnd the cow, I expect that th- y both got on* ; ‘ one” side- of the u Branch.” And now Mr. Editor, that is jest the way wirh-a great many men,& especially politicians, aud some- few Editors ; they always wait to see which side of the “ Branch,” the old ‘* Bell” Cow is on, before they know which side to go on. Year friend thinks, that if you continue to give aid & comfort” to the *" American Party",” , that you may loose subscribers, to your paper, Now Mr. Editor, if you have lost one single subscriber just let “■Sam” know it, and he will subscribe" for another copy and give it to *‘ dad. For “ dad” ant a subscriber to no paper.- now, but “ dad” use to take the “ Ban ner man’s” Paper; but “dad” he “fell j 1 out"’with the “Banner” Paper, and I 1 couldent get him to take it no U nger;, but says I “dad” you been taken the- “ Banner Man’s.” Paper ever since t; can 1 recollect, and “ dad” dont go t(L stopen it now. But *fdad"’ would stop it, and “dad” did stop it—And nothin 1 in the world neither, Mr. Editor, only “cause”they would break up that“Un":on Hotel” Party, or union somethin. 1 for-. get now what they called it.—But *‘daiHy he wasen’t willen to breaks up the good*- “ Union Hotel,” and you see the “Ban ner man” was, and so jou see, Mr. Editor, “ dad" jest tells him to stop his. Paper. Mr. Editor,that is all I have got to say. u about the “ American Party” if there is not Enough Native Americans in this country thats smart enough to fill all of our offices—I say if we have n<*t got men competent and smart enough, to. make our laws, and carry them out— We had better “ sell out” to some other nation that has. Now, Mr.Editor 1 them is my sentiments adzactly. “ SA M.” New Use for Chloroform.—At the Patent Office at Washington, chloro form has been tried to kill weave! ia wheat, In two or three minutes, after a few drops of chloroform had Wen ad- ministered, the insects naturally enough, expense, the means of transportation, began to exhibit unmistakable symptoms and by offering them a comfortable home in Liberia it has encouraged thou sands of free negroes to leave the Unit ed States.
