Cabnesvillf., Miy 14, 1855.
Dear Christy : 1 see in the South
ern Banner oT a late date an -:-;ountof
k 4t Demooratic meeting in Franklin,”
wherein, it is said that a “ Respectable
number of the citizens of Franklin
assembled,” &c. Now, 1 have no doubt
but these gentlemen, who composed
that meeting were speaking what they
thought to be the fact, in giving an ac
count of this wonderful demonstration of
Democratic fidelity. I know most of
the men present, and more whole soul-
ed, intelligent men live not in Frank
lin or elsewhere in Georgia. But I
write this to show how these gentlemen
arc so wofully mistaken.
Now, as to the number*of persons
present, I have nothing to say, for it is
a truth that every man of observation
!rnows, that these political county meet
ings arc always small, and especially,
when there is no other business to call
them together, than the meeting itself.
Such was the case with respect to the
late Democratic meeting in Franklin.
True, it was the day of Sheriff's sale,
but being no property to sell, there were
few people in town.
Here is the meeting :
There were just twenty-seven men
present, (in the couit house,) one half
of whom were the legitimate children of
“ Sam.” This leaves about fourteen
or fifteen men, who take it upon them
selves to express the “ sentiments” of
the people of Franklin county in the
aggregate.
I have no doubt that these gentle
men thought all present acquiesced in
the Resolutions, as of course none of
Sam’s familyhad any thing to say.
Mr. Weld, in his usual earnest man
ner, pounced down on these ‘* midnight
conclaves” like a ‘‘thousand of bricks,”
looking with cutting earnestness at one
or two gentlemen present, who he
thought might have seen a blue light
at some time while cutting wood.”
Mr. Cooper was decidedly more com
promising, his being one of the mon
grel speeches, from which, when he
had finished, no one could tell to which
side lie belonged, or rather where he
took his seat. I would have defied the
most sagacious politician in the coun
ty to have told whether he was in favor
of “ Sam” or opposed to him.
Sooth to say Mr. C., is a compromis
ing man in all such matters, being a
very prudent man, he is usually very
cautious of what steps he is taking, and
I can say to his credit that this time, it
was exceedingly apropos.
A few of the “ Boys” rant a good-
deal about “ the midnight conclaves ”
(as Mr. Weld called them,) but I am
clearly of opinion that they are all a
little afraid of “ Sam.” Some of them
threaten to “ mob him,” while.others not
being quite so pugilistic, speak of pre
senting him in the next grand jury—will
they convict him ? If so I hope they
won’t send him to the Penitentiary.
This would be about ns sublime a
flight of assinine stupidity as we hear
-of over in Buncomb,where I understand,
they have the old fellow in “ limbo.”
Unfortunately for these gentlemen,
they know nothing of the strength of
the enemy, in this county—and the
members of the midnight conclave,” are
playing off in some settlements most ad
mirably. Where they hear u fellow pitch
ing into the “ Jesuit order,” they rally
up to him aud make him beleive that
they are “ flesh of his bone and bone of
his flesh,” while at the same time they
.are ** blinking” to half a dozen fellows
around enjoying the fun amazingly.
It would seem to a fellow, at first
view, that they must have been a ‘Jeetle’
hard run for delegates to the State con
vention, when they were dtiven into
friend Turks family to get two out of
thrt c delegates that were sent, else it
speaks very well for the popularity of
the Col’s family in Franklin, to say noth
ing of their talents. But even; if it were
true, had I been an active member of
the meeting, I would not have told the
world that there were but two families
in Franklin capable of representing the
county in the State convention. Do you
think it good taste ? I may give account
of how matters progress here in future.

TO THE PUBLIC.
A N advertisement from me asked for mo
ney to euable me to issue publications,
and it was couched in terms of reverence
to, and admiration of, God. The only reply
via P. O., wus a deceitful looking (bank-note
like) card about Borne hair dye! Who is
capable of this mockery!! Some young
rascal: while the more aged heeded nothing
of my call—care nothing about my views,
and afford me no encouragement or hope.
Infidelity is the ruling spirit of hearts that
are pertinacious to be, or not, at Church,
prompt to pray, and flatter themselves they
aro safe for Eternity; but which, still, while
they disdain me, scorn Religion, of what
ever sect, to square with their conveniences,
to agree with set fashions and conform to
certain principles of Etiquette, in which
godliness and charity are forgotten, or at
any rate qualified, or neglected! Such peo
ple, of all orders and classes, act and live as
if Divine Providence, a day of reckoning,
and a noly Heaven above, were things of
theory ! Well, they will soon enough see

One Hundredth Edilion (500.000J lSuio., j<p Oj'i.
Fisa pap.-*, extra nircniMo, 8.100.]
A standard work of established reputation
found classed in the cataloguer of the gnat,
trade sales in New-York, Philadelphia, and
other cities, and sold by the principal book
sellers in the Uuitcd States. It was
published iu 1S47, since which time
Five Hundred Thousand Copies
have been sold.of which there were upwards
of ouc hundred thousand sent by
mail, attesting the high estimation in
which it is held as a reliable popular Medi
cal BOOK FOR EVERY FEMALE
the author haviug devoted his exclupivc at
tention to the treatment of complaints | ecu-
liarjtofemales,in respeetto which he is Vearly
consulted by thousands, both in per.-tb and
by letter.
Here every woman can discover, by com
paring her own symptoms with those de
scribed. the nature, character, causes of, aud
the proper remedies for, her complaints. '
Thd wife about becoming a mother has
often need of instuction and advice of the
utmost importance to her future health, iu
respect to which her seqsiiiveuess forbids
consulting a medical gentleman, will find
such instruction and advice, and also explain
many symptoms which otherwise would oc
casion anxiety or alarm, as all the peculiari
tie9 incident to her situation are described.
How manv arc suffering from obstructions
or irregularities peculiar Icthe female system,
which uudermine the health, tlic effects of
which they are ignorant, aud for which their
delicacy forbids eeekiug medical advice?—
Many suffer from prolapsus uteri ( falling of
the womb), or from fiuor albus (weakness,
debility, &c ) Many are iu const ant ag< in
fer many mouths preceding confinement.—
Mauy have difficult, if not dangerous Melivr-
rie*. aud slow and uncertain recoveries.—
Some whose lives arc hazarded during such
time, will each find iu its pages the ntcuns of
prevention, amelioration and relief
It is of course impracticable to convey
fully the various subjects treated of, as thej*
are of a nature strictly intended for (lie mar-
riod or those contemplating marriage.
In consequence of the universal p(.pt|lari-
ty of the work, as evidenced by its extraor
dinary sale, various iihpoalliorts Lave been
attempted, as well on booksellers as on thn
public, by imitations of thc title* page, spuri
ous editions, and surreptitious infringements
of copyright, and other devices anil decep
