tender our thanks to the wri
ter of the subjoined article, which was
intended as a communication for our col
umns. So happily does it express our
ideas in regard to the matters referred
to, that we adopt its sentiments as our
own, and place it i't our editorial columns.
Mr. Christy; Amongst the duties
remaining to be performed by the Ameri
can party, is that of securing the fruits
of victory—of vindicating by proper
and adequate results, the practical value
of our principles, in selecting men to
carry them out. This duty is forced
upon us because it were bootless to con
vince our fellow citizens of the truth
—of our doctrines, if we allow our adver
saries to reap the harvest of reward in
the field where we have sowed the pre
cious seeds of virtuous politics and an
enlarged conservatism.
The-day approaches when our people
must nominate their candidates for the
Legislature in the different copies of
thfe State. To do this wisely, and well,
and exhibit the distinguishing charac
teristics of our order—requires a wise
adjustment of the character of the work
men to be employed to the purpose to
l>c accomplished.
Let our friends, therefore, in entire
disregard of party differences, nomi
nate for their candidates men ef steady
inodes and methods of thought—of sta
ble mind and purpose—men who are
l'rank and manly, yet circumspect, pru
dent and mindful, not only of what per
tains to their true position as gentle
men, but who also feel the high respofi-
sibT.ty which the lu'dmtof our goed
cause imposes. Let this be done nnd
the public expectation will he met, and
a satisfactory guaranty given, that we
are determined, God being our helper
and guide, to have the good of the Con
stitution and country constantly in our
mind’s eye, in all things, from the incep
tion of our principles to the utmost end
of our measures.
In the present frame-work of our or
ganization proper, it is said to be a rule,
ami one founded upon many valued and
wise reasons, not to be abandoned until
after the first elections are over under
<rtir banner as a nali mal party—that
our selections of candidates must be
from our own order, though we know
there are many good and worthy men
outside who are with us and will vote
with us, who would make as good mem
ber < as our own people.
The rule, as I understand it, being
based upon the idea that the party ntusl
be started on a strong bond of union,
a uniform ritual of political faith. Let
no one outside object to this, because
for the present elections it affords the
best guaranty of success. This rule,
like that requiring secrecy, is in the
process of relaxation,and like that,when
the party has become solidified, will be
abolished, so that outsiders can act with
us, although the rule seems exclusive,
If our cause is good, therefore, let all
who wish us well come up “ like a
strong man armed” and do battle in our
cause, content to know that though
this year his friend cannot be put in
power, because «<f our rules, yet
when the order gets old enough to have
one entry in its historic record, the
rule will be abolished.
The adversary has again began his
dirty work in our midst, and our people
arc in more danger from insidious at
tacks and approaches, than open as
saults. The mode of warfare adopted
by our enemies a short time back, and
to some exte:.t continue until now,
w.is to meet our arguments with billings
gate and our positions with blackguard
ism, first to cry out” Whig tricV'—then
11 Abolitionism,” failing in these gen
teel, we! I bred modes of conducting a
campaign—these (with them) well con
sidered adaptation of means to ends.—
t icy again vary the attack and try to
frighten the timid by telling them there
is hut “ a corporal's guard of you any
how, and you had better quit the con
cern.” %.
Brethren, perhaps you have all heard
the ttory o' the negro’s rabbit. I know
you have, so I will not tell it; you can
make the application.
Finding from a few public demon
strations, that Sam is somewhat ugly
looking in his overalls—the tune is
again changed, and the notes of half
approval and feint disparagement float
around “ as 'tivere soft as any sucking
dove,” and puny praise is bestowed by
thes.de of lusty censure, a lit.lc wheat
it ^ut mostly tares. Let our friends be
ware.' 1 i
But there i» another point of attack
which our friends cannot too strongly
guard, because practical danger here
creeps in. Til s point o» alack will be
much occupied for i few weeks just
iho American nominations ar.i
made. It is an old trick, but,can nevey
be watched too closely.
It is well known that the American
party has on its rolls many valuable
members, who have worked with manly
zeal, hearty and patriotic good will for
our cause, and perchance who may
have suffered because of their activity
in our service. Now we cannot, nor
Cum any party reward all the good fel
lows who bare commended themselves
to the heartwarm affections of their
brethren, by manly effort. Some have
for the present to be passed by, toe wish
tee could reward them as they deserve.
Still as matteis are, they must bide
their time, having for their present re-
waid, the proud consciousness that they
have Jischnrged their doty, their whole
duty. To nil such, it is an old trick,
having neither the merit of honest,
manliness, or smart originality, fur the
enemy to-run with expressions such as
these, “ I understand they have thrown
you overboard,’’ V old fellow you ought
to have been run, for the truth
ts^vou
have done and suffered more foil litem
than any ten men amongst them,” an
other whispers, *‘ I understand that
your crowd think you are m t a man of
sufficient popularity or importance to
be run for the Legislature,” “ were 1
you, and had your strength and friends,
I would make them respect me,” and
such like expressions. These we shall
hear thick and often in the next few
weeks. Let our fellow citizens keep a
sharp look out for such approaches. A
good way meet them, wuuld be with a
hearty laugh, or by adopting the cock
ney style of pulling the under eye lid
w.th one finger and asking these mis-
chiefimakers, “ do you see anything green
under here ?
There is still another mode of annoy
ance and disturbance, much in vogue
about these parts just now, having as
little claims to originality of conception,
but which lays strong claims to under
hand mealiness. This system is deli
berately mean and wicked, and consists
in carrying tales, partly real, partly
imaginary, mostly false, and always
trial,cious, from one leading member of
the party to another, for the purpose of
sowing dissensions; and having failed
to fall upon a jdan, which promises suc
cess in tlie mass they adopt this mean
and ridiculous mode of breeding jealous-
es to slay us in detail. Several of al
the above modes of attack have been
tried during the past week. Genllttne;
your game is discovered it botltered us
a little at first but since we have got the
run of it we canjriay it back, again, if
yon desire to practise this liberal man
ner of conducting a campaign.
There is another mode of attack to
which our people should be directed
Our party consists of insiders and out
siders. An effort is now making and will
continue to be made to dislroy both, by
divisions, by promoting jcalonses be
tween those bretbreu and friends. He
only is a true friend to our cause, wbe
ther inside or outside who stands up to
our measures, our principles and our
men, unless from personal motives he i
to be excused. Let all who are with us
therefore, all who love us, and all who
wish us well watch the enemy whether
he coines in the more manly form of
open abuse or the more cunning, supple
and dangerous forms above refered to,
as both are intent on mischief.
Mr. Christy, can you not impress the
above thoughts upon onr friends in war
mer language than has your humble
friend. PHILIP.
of their ashes : But one of the Pierces
i Frankey) •» Still lives” and his devotion
to the interest of the South, is now a
part of the history of the country. If
the appointment of the deeply infamous
abolitionist Reeder, Governor of Kan
sas, to defeat, as Mr. Stephens asserts,
the establishment of slavery in that Ter
ritory, constitutes, with Cardinal Cobb,
devotion to the South, then, the South
ern Rights presses in Georgia, were not
mistaken in 1S51, when they denounced
him “ as a traitor to the South.” Judge
Bronson was a National Democrat—be
longing to that party, among whom the
Cardinal infists soundness upon the
slavery question, alone can be found.
Was his removal, by Pierce, to make
room for a Van Buren abolitionist, an
evidence of the soundness of the
“Pierce’s?” The same might be said
of the removal of Jacob R. Davis, a
National .Democrat, from the Presiden
cy of the Mint at Dahlonegfl, who was
appointed through the influence of Car
dinal Cobb himself. Verily a man must
be “ hard run,” when he holds up the
” Pierce’s of N. Hampshire,” as friends
upon whom he can rely. I might pro
ceed, and show, that the great doctrine
of the non-intervention of Congress upon
the subjeA of slavery in the Terri.ories,
was established in the compromise meas
ures of 1850, by a Whig administration,
and supported by Webster, Brooks and
other Northern Whigs, and that Pierce
gave the doctrine only a lukewarm sup
port, after the battle had been fought
and the victory won, by Mr. Fillmore—
and after it had become the settled pol
icy of the Government, and b. en so rr-

Mr. Editor: The gentleman who is
so aptly described by the pdfet ifi these
lines, Mr. Cobb, according to appoint
ment, addressed a few of the citizens of
Forsyth and Cherokee counties, at Cum-
roiug on the 2d inst. There was a good
deal of anxiety on the part of those pre
sent, to hear him, supposing that he
would attempt to reconcile and defend
the various 'and conflicting positions
which he has occupied in politics, with
in the last few years. In this however,
they were disappointed. He commen
ced liis harangue by remarking that,
“ he wished to be judged by the princi
ples which he now avows" and that he
stood on the Platform of the late Mil-
ledgcville convention ; he was chairman
of the committee that reported it; he re
marked that the great question at issue
was that of slavery, and the South be
ing in the minority, must look .to the
North for friends, who wore found
only in the National Democratic party ;
and that there were only a few men in it
who were true to the South,and give as
illustrations the Woodburys, Athertons,
and Pierces of New Hampshire. Woofl-
bury and Atherton, I believe, are both
dead, and I will not disturb the repose
ar
cognized by both the National parlies
in Convention—and thus prove the
falsehood of the assertion, that no body
North, except a few Democrats, is sound
upon Southern interests. But as it is
conceded that the masses of both of the
parties North are unsouad'and not to be
trusted—and as they have both rotted
down of their inherent corruption,
deem it unnecessary so to do.
It is somewhat remarkable, that the
Cardinal, during the whole of his speech
allude to Pierce, except thus
passingly, to hold him tip as one of the
few Northern Democrats, who are true
to the South. If Franklin Pierce is his
model of fidelity to the South, he had
better keep ft to himself. And it is
still more remarkable, that he passed
over Gov. Johnson and his brilliant ca
reer in such ominous silence. What
dot s it mcau ?
The great burden of the speech under
consideration was unmeasured denunci
ation of the American party, and this
portion of it seemed more like a good
old British Papal speech, made by Car
d'.nal Wolsey to please Henry VIII. than
any thing I can conceive. He commenc
ed by remarking that “ if he mist epre
sented them, it was their fault, for they
raigjjfcset him rightwhich amounted
to s^ng, he could belie and misrepre
sent their principles, motives and patii
otism, and because they did not sec pro
per to correct him, they were respottsi
blc for his falsehoods It is a strange
proposition in moral philosophy, that
man is under no obligation to speak the
truth because what he says is uncontra
dieted. He-made fiiisreinark.no doubt
with reference to his intention to ntisre
present them. His denunciation of the
Know Nothings as a secret political or
ganization, looked well in itim, while lie
is a member of a seciet, corrupt and
rotten political organization in the city
of New York, where life meets the Abo
lition hordes of the North in secret cun
clave, he is even a big sachem in the
Tammany Hall Society. Will the Car
dina; tell the people of the Sixth whether
or not he meets the Van Buiens and
Preston King in Tammany? He not
on’y denounced their secresy, but he
wilfully misrepresented iheir public ac
Hon, their principles, aud their morality
He stated in reference to their action,
that they beat Shields for U. S. Senator,
and elected Trumbull in Illinois, when
it isauitorious to every one who knows
anything of the present political history
of the country/ that ihe same Legisla
ture that beat Shields and elected Truitt
bull, adopted, by a large majority, reso
lutions strongly condemning and de-
wil “go Ins security.” I snppose he
underwrites for the Pope, when he said,
in his Encyclical Letter of Aug.15,1852,
that “ I he absurd and erroneous doc
trine, or raving in defence of liberty of
conscience, is a most pestilential error—
a pest of all others most to be dreaded
in a State.”!!!!!!!
What a great pity that cardinal Cobh
did not live long ago, to ” go the Pope’s
security”so that the Fifty Millions' of
Protestants, who have been butcher
ed by this infinitely infernal monster
of crime and blood, might have been
saved from torture and death; then the
ashes of Huss would not have been
thrown into the Rhine, the bones of
Wickliffe would not, hyena-like, have
been taken out of his grave where they
had reposed forty years, and burnt.
The fires of Smithfield would not have
obscured the blue concave of Heaven
with their dark sacrifice of human blood.
The City of Paris would not have
been drenched in Protestant blood, by
Massacre of St. Bartholomew, and un
offending infants would never have been
torn from the throbbing bosom of ma
ternal love, and cast into the flames,
and Rome would never have exulted in
the music created by the commingled
shrieks and wails of the millions, who,
for conscience sake, have been hunted
down and indiscriminately slaughtered
by the ruthless blood-hounds of Popery.
And with history before his face How
ell Cobb offers to “ go the Pope’s se
curity ! What a combination! The
Pope of Rome and Howell Cobb his
endorser! Freemen of the 6th District,
do you want the Pope's Endorser to
represent you in congress ?
The cardinal, if passible, took higher
grounds in favor of Foreigners than in
favor Catholics. He selected Arnold
and Montgomery, as illustrations of the
jatriotism of Americans and Foreigners
in the Revolution. Arnold an Ameri
can, was a traitor; Montgomery a For
eigner, was a patriot; therefore accord
ing to the cardinals argument, the Ame*
were traitors and the Foreigners
le an tna *» limAe J .v,nnr,
nouncingthe Know Nothings. He mis
represented their morality, by stating
that the National Council at PhiladeL
phia was so drunk thatit could not keep
its secrets ! This calumny is s » niali
ciously low and palpably false, that it
unuecessary even to contradict it. He
said that “the Know Nothings arc afraid
of the Pope, but that if they did not quit
their prevarication and lying, they had
better be afraid of the Devil, for that he
(Cobb) would go the Pope’s security that
he would not hurt them;” after which
he struck off into bitter abuse of what
he called their civil and religious pro
scription. Now, for Cardinal Howell
Cobb to stand up before an intelligent
community, and assert in the face of the
truth of history, that “the Pierces of N
Hampshire are true to the South—that
Shields was beaten and Trumbull elect
ed, by the Know Nothings—that theN
tional Council was so drunk that it could
not keep its secrets—that the K. N
were destroying the morality of the
country—that they were in favor of civil
and religions proscription—that tfi
Pope would do Protestants no harm
and then abuse any body for any sort
lying, looks a good deal like the Devil
rebuking sin! But the reason why the
Pope will hurt nobody is, I suppose, be
cause his Oarifinal in the United States!
For the S04ti.n1 Wrtdunoa
Mr CnRisTy; The following little
item of intelligence, I find copied into
the Georgia Constitutionalist of ihe 30th
inst., and whether the same be true or
false is not at all important; I do not
believe the table to be correct. It is
too small, but let that pass for the pre
sent, here it is;
“To enable all friends of true, civil
and religious liberty to appreciate fully
the heroism, moral and physical, of
Know Nothingisra, we have turned to
the last census returns and made out
the following table, which shows the
native, the foreign, and the Catholic
population in each Southern State :—

patriots, in the ” times that tried mens
souls.” 1 must confess, that I had re
ceived a different impression, from his
tory upon this subject. I had thought
that the Washington?. Greens, Knoxes,
Adaipses, Warrens, Henrys, Hancocks,
Oti-es. Waynes.Sumpters, Marions, and
Habbershamsof Revolutionary memory,
were native Americans; and I have
never heard treason imputed to them.
I have understood that all of those who
opposed us in those days were Foreign-
ers except a few, who took the position
then that the anti-American party here
takes now.
I thought that it was Foreigners, who
burnt down our National Capital and
hired the Indians to butcher our wo
men and children on the Norihwestern
frontier in the war of 1812. It is true a
few foreigners were with us. It was a
foreign General who retired precipitate
ly at the battle of Monmouth and in
sulted the father of his country, and
whose conduct would have resulted in
the loss pf that splendid achieve
ment but for the timely interposition of
a Native American. The cardinal told
us that Shields,an Irishman,was wound
ed in Mexico. He said nothing about
the gallant Taylor, the heroic Scott, the
chivalrous May, who grasped from
the cannon’s smoking niouth, the burn
ing palm of victory : nor of the noble
Clay, Harden, Yell.and McKee, who
gave as an offering to the flag of their
Native Land, the last pulsating throb of
ebbing life. One would have suppost d
from! the speech that our gallant army
in Mcx'cn, consisted of one wounded
Irishman. It seems to me, to be wrong
to rob a whole army of Americans of
a the fame bought with their blood and
valor, and bestow it all on one Irishman
But says the cardinal, ” They were
defeated in Virginia.” Well, the Pope’s
security is welcome to all the joy he can
realize, with Wise,Greeley. Seward and
the VanBurens, at the defeat of his
countrymen by herds of Foreigners and
Catholics, but I feel when the British
beat us at the ballot box, about like l
should, when they beat us in the field
The agony of this speech however,
is that part in which he exclaims “ Let
us all burg the past,—1 can forget the
pasK" In vain will he invoke th: waves
of Lethe to sepulchre the past! He
may and doubtless will straggle to for
get the past, but the peop e never will
They cannot forget that he refused to
sign the Southern Address. They can-
not forget his abolition vote for the Wil
mot proviso in the Bill organizing
Terriu rial Government. They cannot
forget that, he traded the democratic
pirty in 1850. to that celebrated political
firm Stephens and Toombs, for the
chief Magistracy cf the State. Tliey
cannot forget that when elected pri the
Georgia, Platform, erected by the patrio
tic people with-the gallant Jenkins at
their head, he faced about, and stabbed
Jenkins the author of the platform that
carried him into power, and supported
Johnson who entertained Mneffable 6on
tampt for the whole pack,’ they cannot
forgit.hat he again turned around,and by
a combination with Iverson and Johnson,
beat McDonald for United Slates Sena'
tor. They might essay to forget the
political Iscariot who has thus been
untrue to every, principle and treache
rous to every party, but,” Remembrance
wakes with all her busy train.”
As a fit perarotion to his liaraugue.
the unmitigated demagogue turned to
the Ladies present, and with God-in
sulting sacrilege invoked their prayers
for his success. Think far a moment
of the pious women praying for the suc
cess and elevation to office of Howell
a " Cobb, the Pope’s Security! had better
call on Bishop Hughes and Pius the IX
s *for they are certainly ondef many ob

tons present, there was bur little enthu
siasm. and the crowd retiring, felt
that, at last the man was found, after
whom the p>>et inquired, when he said

Assuming it to be true in point of fact,
in each, and every particular, that the
above table is correct; it will be seen
that of the three aud a half millions of
Roman Catholics in the United States,
largely over three milllions are settled
tlie free Status—a number quite
sufficient to make almost five such
States as Georgia, taking its whole popu
Iation as a basis of calculation, these are
here already, They are in the first
place, hereditary enemies of freedom of
opinion and freedom of speech, of
conscience, of the Bible, and the press
Again, tliey are ignorant and bigotted
as a class generally. They are under
the influence of their priests, neither of
whom ever have, as lam informed and
believe, taken the oath . of allegiance to
our Government. They have a secret
place and priest, where, and to whom,
they confess, and from whom they get
forgiveness of their sins. They have a
secret priesthood admitted in al! libera!
Governments on earth to be the most
dangerous budy of men living, to wit:
the Jc-. uits. Now why is it, that these
people go 40 the North and North-west ;
it is not usual fur them to make their
movements towards Northern countries
—Southern countries are the couutries
to which they most usually go—Italy
Spain, France, Southern Europe, gen
erally, South America and Mexico
these are their favorite countries. The
answer is easy, our institutions dc not
suit their views, slavery is said to be
the great antidote to priestcraf and
fanoticism. They are our sworn, aneient
unalterable foes—the foes alike of
slavery and freedom. Of the 1st, because
it forms a barrier to their designs; of the
second, because it is at war with their
whole systeem and creeds. The same
train of reflections suggests alike rea
sons whenever applicable to the foreign
crs. It's certainly applicable in all
cases as to. Abolition. But, again—of
all the foreigners at the South, near
two thirds of them are Roman Catho
lics, to wit. 172,740. But let us con
suit this table a little further nnd note
the pregnant suggestions which lie in
and around it. It will be seen that in
Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri and
Virginia, border States, on the North
these people form a large balance of
power parly, to be bought and sold in
opeu market by con upt politicians and
Bishop Hughes as occasion may require,
The extreme Southern States have few
of them, except Louisiana, which conn
try, embracing Missouri, it will be re
membereJ,\vas settled by French Catho
lies. But take the extreme Southern
States, such as Georgia, for example
where the Catholic vote, though small
will, owing to the closjly contested par
ty struggles of the day, bfe quite suffi
cieut to turn the seale towards that par
ty which will rtf a he them irtost conces
sions and offer the greatest offers, ^nd
you have Ibis dangerous and festering
element of party corroption in our very
midst—at our very doors, though small
yet important. Against any class of men
in our midst who go together when ne
cessary, as a unit, and at command of
priests and corrupt politicians we wage
eternal warfare:
But again, ideas ripen, mature, mul
tiply as we look at the figures of this-
table a little further. These people are
found in every Southern State, and
*• more than a corporal's guard at that.”
They do not go to church,"and mingle
with other religious people, hut raain-
tian a sullen distance, from all religious
assemblages.' Add to this the enormous
number of them who are now flocking
to our shores, more perhaps than a
quarter of a million per annum, and the
increasing disposition of public men to
fi itler Uteut, and buy up their
with the increasing love
well ascertained strength begets, and
another most alarming feature is pre
sented.
But there is another feature still more
alarming to the Southern patriot and
friend of Religious freedom, and it is
his : one of the established dogmas of
the Catholic church is, that their priests
have the power to grant indulgences, if
not to forgive sins—consider of this
a moment; let the tide of Anti-
Slavery get strong enough at the North
to set tlie ball of revolution in motion,
and where will it look as to the best,
most unscrupulous instrument to effect
its dreadful purpose ?
Common sense answers to that peo
ple who can furnish a priesthood, who
hold in their hands and make their de
luded followers believe it, the powers
of Heaven ani Hell; the office of medi
ator between God and man; the power
to forgive sin, and to send the soul of
the departing believer into eternity,
with songs of triumph on his lips, for
the having butchered our people for
sin of holding Slaves! Is that people
who furnish a priesthood foreign ami
alien.who neither raarry,nor are given in
marriage with us, who form no tender
and dear alliances amongst us,who have
no posterity to care for, nor future to
look to, and few friends amongst us to
suffer. To that people who have amongst
a few to sow dissensions, to give intelli
gence, to spy out our weak points, to
surrender to the enemy our strong holds,
to introduce a worse than Greek horse
into our midst.
Were you going over this wide world
to find such a people where would you
find it save in this self same Catholic
Church of these United States.
Let our people beware! Let our
people be up! Let our people be awake
* eternal vigilance is the price of free
dom!"
There are fewer Abolitionists at the
South than Catholics. indeed there may
be said to be none except, perhaps, in
Virginia, the land of Henry A. Wise
and the white basis. Yet is that an ar
gument why we should not watch, guard
and defead our people against Aboli
tionism? Nonsense. Our adversaries
as well ourselves, agree that no Aboli
tionists can do us barm here, yet how
loudly they bellow and howl over Aboli
tionism. Just let one of them come
amongst us, and our liberal swauggering
neighbors are ready to give them a coat
of tar and feathers—amen s tg refey-but
it does look a little salty, Mr. Union
and Constitutionalist, for six millions of
people to be raising a- rumpus over some
poor devil of a runaway Abolitionist
while compared with his mischief, the
influence of Roman Catholicism,-'is as
the mountain to the molehill! Oh
shame! V TRUTH.

thereof required. Grateful to th.ise custom
ers, who have thus for promptly complied

afford. So friends, opeu your purse*—pay
