tor the Southern Watchman. 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. SECRETAIRE. /oteigu Him LATER FROM EUROPE. ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMER ASIA. HIGHLY INTERESTING NEWS.
