Though it is but as yesterday since the organization of the American Par ty, we would impress it upon the minds, especially of its opponents, that its prin ciples are co-eval with the birth of our Constitution. Time and again has been arrayed before our readers evidence the most convincing, that the minds' of those who gave us our present liberties were directed to the evils and dangers consequent upon the influx of Europe’s thousands into our country. Surely, the warning voices of a Jefferson, Mad ison, LaFayeite, and hosts of others, .which time forbids and memory fails to produce again just here, and espe cially the admonition of the Father of his country, ought to arrest every lover of freedom, and awaken the most ear nest inquiry.

DEMOCRATIC CONSISTENCY It has not been long since the nomi nee of the American order, Garnett Andrews, was run and elected by the .Democratic parly to the bench in the Judicial district in which lie resides. .The obnoxious decision made by the Judge in 1841, was as well known then as it is now. If it forms a good objec Vicn to 'him as Governor, it certainly shoud have been as cogent against him for Judge. Nay, much more so; as Governor,, he has nothing to do with ex pounding the laws of evidence. Yet not «one word'was urged against his election nolhe Judgeship, by the “dry rot” gen try. Thq decision was permitted to .sleep amid the rubbish of the past; no sympathy was excited for the poor uni •vorsalist; no holy horror fell for the violated Constitution. These vigilant guardians of our constitutional rights remained silent and let this unrighteous Judge again assume the ermine, and disgrace the bench. Where then slept the thunders of Democracy ? The mys tory is easily explained. Garnett An drews was then acting with the Democ ratic party; he now belongs 10 the American Order ]!!

The Calhoun Statesman of August 9lh says: “Our worthy and much esteemed Postmaster, George IV.

Indeed, various are the suggestions which? wc have not time or inclination, just now, to notice. Since penning the above, the above case has been argued. The jury, after retiring a short time rendered a verdict of “ guilty.” Counsel for Epps appli ed for and obtained a new trial, on the ground of incompelency of oucof the witnesses.

Being in attendance at Court in Wat- kinsville on last Friday, we were privi leged with listening to the highly-ac- ceptable and telling address of our t« wns- man, C. Peeples, Esq, To say that'al! ietired from the court-house, after the address was over, highly pleased, would be a mistake ; for the Johnsonocracy, if we may be allowed to judge from npprearances, left with a “ flee in their ears”—at any rate, the length of their faces indicated great uneasiness .- But it were needless to give assurances, for Mr. Peeples, since he has been be fore the people, as candidate for the Senate, hns left little room to doubt his perfect ability to bear the standard of the American party to final and glori ous victory. On Wednesday of last week, two days previous to Mr. Peeples’s address, Mr Overby met the people at the same stand, and his friends seem highly pleas ed with his effort. Thursday, Mr. Cobb also held forth; but as we might be accused of slight partiality, we shall ex cu«e ourselves from more thau the sim ple observation, that after his speech, more thau one of the “ unterrified” were making diligent inquiry for the representatives of Snm, being desirous of separating themselves from all con nection with the Foreign Party. where they were equally numerous, and hence our success. In Kentucky, where there are five to one in Georgia, with a far less division of the natives, the assertion holds good, and is more apparent. We may thus go the rounds of the States, and nothing is more evi dent than that the success of the Ameri can Party is heightened as the natives are united, or that their defeat is owing entirely to the balance of power which foreigners hold and me by voting with our opponents and causing their suc cesses. What would have been the result in Virginia but for the 10,000 Irish voters? No American, then, need be depress ed on account of any past temporary defeat. On the contrary, let them breathe more freely from a conscious ness that they have done their duty, and that it only needs future developments to place America in her proper posi tion—in the hands of Americans. The foregoing facts are suggestive of this thought: We are constantly re minded of the numerical weakness of of our foreign-born population, as com pared with the native. Allow this to to be true. If, however, divided, as they are, amongst the States, they can find a party sufficiently reckless of their country’s good, and so lost to everything save their own perpetuity and prefer ment as'to unite with this small number of foreigners, and carry out every meas ure which they may desire, how easy for this handful to lead America into the arms of the Pope himself! This small band has found the very party they want—a party either too ignorant to see, or seeing, so base as to lend them selves a willing tool. Foreigners may not see their power, or seeing, may not design evil; but oh, the “ bell may soon be rung which shall be the knell to hu man freedom 1” Do the people see these things ? Then the warnings of a Jeffer-on, a Madison, and a Washington, have not been in vain. Otherwise, we have but to close our eyes and await the cat astrophe. But our whole nation is aroused; and it requires but a few more days until she shakes from around her the coil, which, firmly settled, would have required rivers of blood and thou sands of treasure to cast off. And in all this we but make the simple request and exercise the natural right of having “ Americans to rule America,” and thereby secure the privilege of worship ping God according to the dictates of our consciences. Do we ask more than the Constitution guarantees? In the name of all that is good, can even a for eigner fail to grant this natural anJ inalienable right? Honest American! Lover of free dom ! Ask for your true friends—seek them diligently; and when found, stand by them for your own defence. For quite a number of days re cently we have had cool, invigorating weather. Indeed, fires have been quite acceptable, in the earlier part of the morning. STEPHENS’ MENT. This gentleman, in his statistics on the the subject of the Kansas and Ne braska Bill vote says: “ From this it will be seen that the North-Western states, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Iowa and Michi gan, where it is said the foreign popula tion controls the election, there were 25 votes given on the bill, of which there 13 for it and: 12 against it.” To which a correspondent of the Sumpter Republican replies: What are the facts in this case ?— I rely as a member of the American Party, upon the law and the facts, and that law, too, as published for the in spection of the people of Georgia, by the Hon. Mr. Stephens. 1 will give the vote as I get it from the re-published re port of Mr. Stephens, and leave every Georgian tc judge for himself of the blunder of the gentlefnan. The vote of those six states is as follows : Ohio, Aff. 4 Neg. 15 Total 19 3 Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Michigan, 6 3 1 2 lfr 4 2 2 26 9 7 2 1 4 42 it, or to the country, but it is the source of incalculable mischief by aggravat ing the violence of party animosity, when the critical condition of tho South demands the maintenance of the most amicable relations among its citizens. For ourselves, we do not feel at liberty to apply to our opponents the vulgar epithets, Hindoos, midnight order, dark lantern, while at the same time we have but little respect for the course of those who can’t designate the Democratic party, by other names than the Foreign party, the dry rot party, the Pierce &. Forney Democracy, &c.” The above morsel we get from a pa per advocating principles favorable to foreigners—and, as we conceive, more favorable than to our own country and countrymen. That there is good rea son for clubing the so-called Demo cratic Party with each and all of the names cited, we hope we have already sufficiently shown. Especially for term ingitthe “ Foreign Party for it is apparent to every one who can read or who has ears, that whenever difficulties occur between natives and foreigners, the latter receive their sympathies.— Instantly, it is proclaimed that the in discretion of the natives was the cause. But touch the hem of a foreigner’s gar ment, and the whole Dry Rot Press are upon you. But dare speak of the evil tendencies likely to arise from immi gration to this country of such hordes of infidel Germans, Priest-ridden Irish, or the scum and filth from various other quarters, and the Foreign Party cry proscription, midnight assassins, and every other vile epithet to be found in the English language,-they ever repeat the cry,“ down with the d—d natives!” Inquire into the soundness of Mr. Pierce upon the slavery question ; throw out a suspicion of his having discharged Reeder for no other reason, than that lie speculated somewhat in land, and the Pierce &. Forney Democracy are heard in praise of their chief and denouncing Southern Americans as in league with Seward. As for that, their weekly and daily pastime is to accuse Know Noth ings of being in league with somebody even worse than Seward—even tho fa'h, er of all lias and liars, and consequently a very near relation of the Dry Rot- Foreign, Pierce &» Forney Party. We heartily subscribe to the advice given to the Johnsonocracy, and hope his followers will faithfully observe it.— They certainly are the most unscrupu lous and unrefined of all the enemies a decent party has to Contend with while fighting the battles of his country. Americans abuse uo man; and there fore, the closing advice is altogether unnecessary. Impudence.—How can we call it anything else? Our readers, we dare say, have often been disgusted with it, while honest men, even of their our faith, are forced to withdraw from con nection with a party having such lea ders. What is it? To hear speakers and editors of the Johnson bargain and corruption party calling upon members of the American Party “ to come out from the concern.” Why, gentlemen, the American Party, is now*the only salt in the land. The Philadelphia Platform is the mouctian of safety for the present, and for the future security. “ Come out!’’ Where will those com ing out go ? Certainly you would not have your honest fellow-country-men fall upon your platform. Dry-Rot is at its foundation, and the crazy, rickety concern would fall with such a load.— It is an insult to any Georgian, for the orators of the day to call upon them to “quit the concern,” and support a man who will take state treasure to buy votes that he may secure his own election. ^jqfpLi-t the issue be kept in mind— Protestantism against Romanism. Majority of votes in the negative 10. Thus"slands the votes of those six states where foreign population controls the election. So far from casting only 25 votes as Mr. S. says, there were 42. And so far from giving a majority of one to the Kansas and Nebraska bill, they give a majority of ten against it” Another of a thousand misstatements shown up. It is to be hoped Mr. Ste phens, for the sake of his own reputa tion, will not be again caught in so un enviable a position. But there is scarce ly room for hope while he acts in con cert with a party whose trade it is to eaves-drop, slander and lie. Our great fear is, that toq large a portion of our time and energies will necessarily be exhausted in exposing falsehood, to permit full justice being donellie Ameri can cause: fur it would require the entire attention of any ordinary party to protect the people against the imposi tions of this Foreign, Dry Rot crew. WHAT IS SAID OF FRANKLIN COLLEGE. The remarks below are found in the letter of a correspondent of the Colum bus Times 8f Sentinel. We would not be understood as urging his views, but we should be happy in commending any course that would bring back former patrouage—especially secure future prosperity; our pride, as a Georgian, prompts it, and our interest in the growth of Athens equally operates to hope that “ something will be done” to relieve our institution from her present embar rassments and place her above the criti cism of newspaper scribblers. We present these remarks to our readers, simply that they may know what is t jlked of in the world. In ‘ 53 your correspondent attended the Commencement exercises of the “ State University,” and after expressing his views of the advantages afforded, and the glaring deficiencies, owing to the parsimony of our legislators, was most vociferously assailed, as decrying the institution and wilfully misrepresenting its advantages. It was but a few months following, that an animated controversy sprung up, in the eastern portion of the State, upon this same subject, and has been since so often referred to, that he would be a partial and blind friend of the University, indeed, who would not admit that the State does herself but little honor by pretending to keep up a University, when not a sufficient salary even is af forded to retain a professor of eminence in the most important department—to say nothing of the facilities, or want of facilities rather’ patent in almost every division. “ It is in general more profitable to re ckon up our deficiencies than to boast of our attainments.” This is very mortify ing to our vain natures but facts speak for themselves very often, and like Banquo’s ghost, will not down at our bidding. So deplorably deficient has Franklin College become in all the es sentials to a College much more a Uni versity that the Alumni have been con sidering the scheme of taking the College off the hands of the State and themselves making an endowment which will give it a respectable standing. Patronage has been diminishing du£ ring the last few years; new Colleges are started in various parts of the State; sectarian institutions upon small founda tions, are springing up everywhere, while the entire number upon the com bined catalogues would hardly supply a patronage sufficient to sustain one good University or College even. The thing has almost become a farce. The whole of them are beggars, and annually the charity-box is handed/ound to sustain our College—for our people, of our churches, or, our section. It seems a futile task to attempt an arrest of the evil, but we will soon feel it, in superficial acquirements, loose mental discipline, and decaying establishments. A Loose Cannibal !—We under stand that Ilowell Cobb said, in a pub lic speech, that he would agree to eat all the r*en that voted for Overby, above five thousand. We are under the im pression if he docs, that even his appe tite lor voters will be satisfied, and that be will have much better tem perance principles “ in his belly than he has in bis head.”— Temp. Banner. From the Chronicle tf Sentinel. "Power is a Trust held from God, for the commom good and may be forfeit ed by abuse.” The above is from “ A Catholic” in the Constitutionalist Sf Republic of last Sunday. “ We hold these truths to be self- evident—that all men are created equal —that they are endowed by their Crea tor with certain unalienable rights—- that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed—that when any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute a new government.” This is from our Declaration of Indepen dence. The above are distinct and diametri cally opposite propositions. The first is the exponent of a principle of vital importance to the Roman Catholic Church—and the other is of equal im portance to all Democratic Americans. Both cannot be true in this or any other country at the same time, and in this country the first is eminently false. Here I would seriously suggest to such Democrats a9 may be courting aid from the Catholic Church, that they, if not directly, are by implication, compro mising the fundamental principles of liberty, a political sin, the punishment of which may, at no distant day, be visited upon them with fearful retribu tion. It will not do to say, that the Catho lic Church force in the country is small, and consequently is not dangerous.— Small as it may be, you dare not deceive it, and if you take it by the hand it will soon overgrow any limits you may pre scribe. Sneaking and crawling, it will be satisfied at first with the crumbs, but it will live and grow, and finally kick your children out of the inheritance which your fathers provided for you. In the same paper I observe a defiant challenge by one “ Thomas Byrue, a foreign born Roman Catholic,” to meet any of the Know Nothing orators, with in twenty days, at Atlanta, to discuss the temporal power of the Pope of Rome, &c. Happening to have a copy of the Se cret Instructions of the Jesuits— Princeton edition, 1831—I have looked into it with a view of satisfying my curi- osi;y as to how such a discussion would be conducted before tbe Democratic people of Georgia. 1 find charter 11 ordering “ In what manner the society must deport, that they may work them selves into, and after that, preserve a familiarity with noblemen, and persons of great distinctionand it says:— Princes and persons of distinction every where must by all means be so managed, that we may have their car, and that will easily secure their hearts, by which way of proceed ing, all persons will become our crea tures.” your opponent with false crimes to take away bis credit, as well as kill him.” Again: “By the command of God, ii is lawful to murder the innocent, to rob; and to commit all lewdness, because he is Lord of life, and death and all things and thus to fulfil his mandate is our duty.” With these things before hint, can any reasonable man expect that a foreign Roman Catholic, (perhaps a Jesuit) go- terned'by- principles utterly subversive of honesty, truth, the authority of the statute-laws and human life, will go into a fair discussion of any question id which the interests of his creed arh con- concerned. I, for one, think such a thing utterly 'mpossible. If the chab lenge is accepted, the people of Atlanta will have an opportunity'of seeing how by pious fraud and dissembled sanctity the fi iends of the Pope are working for the exercise of power over them and the rest of mankind. Brother Jonathan. In the appendix to this little work we find a pretty clear indication of the means to be used. Thus Lainez con tended at the Council of Trent, “ that Jesus Christ having the authority to dispense with all sorts oflaws; the Pope, his vicar, has the same authority.”— “ Vallestigny, deputy of Alva, presented to Ferdinand, the King of Spain, this address: “The mass of the human fami ly are born, not to govern, but to be governed.” “ Pope.Pius VII in a rescript addressed to his nuncio at Venice, asserts his pontificial right to depose sovereigns ; but he adds, although it is not always convenient to exercise the jurisdiction.’ By the same Pope: “All marriages without a Roman Priest’s celebration a?e null and void.” “The Priests of the United States, .like those of Ireland, are extremely devoted to the Pope. They are very rigorous in their exactions. In due time, they will embarrass the Go vernment of the United States, as those of Ireland have disconcerted the British Government.” These facts will of course be denied, but in tbe denial we may look for the full development of other principles. Thus, in regard to Honesty, it is held that “ servants may steal from their masters as much as they judge their labor is worth, more than the wages they re ceive. They deal with Truth thus: “ It is lawful to use ambiguous terms to give the impression a difierent sense from that which you understood yourself.” Agaiu: “ He who is not bound to state the truth before swearing, is not bound by his oath, provided he makes internal restriction that excludes the present case.” With regard to the authority of the laws, they'say: “The spiritual power must rule the temporal by all sorts of means and expedients when necessa ry.” They hold w ith regard to Homi cide, that *• If an adulterous priest, even aware of his danger, having visited an adultress, is assailed by her husband, kills the man in his own defence, it is not criminal.” AgainYou may charge THE “ DEMOSTHENES OF THE MOUNTAINS” SHOWN UP BY JOHN W. H. UNDERWOOD. At a public meeting, where there was a free discussion, at Fields’ Cross Roads in Cherokee county, John W. H. Un* dervvood, Esq., thus paid his respects to Dr. Homer Virgil Maro Miller. Wo think ‘ Demosthenes’' was somewhat ‘put through.' Col. Underwood said : He charged upon him, (Dr. Miller) that, in one day, he was seeking the Democratic Anti-Know Nothing nomi nation, as a candidate for Congress, for the Fifth Congressional District, and failing to receive it of being in a Know Nothing Council on the next; of actu ally caucassing with Democrats, to-day, and, disappointed in his personal aspi rations, of going over to the enemy to morrow. His exposure and rebuke of the “ lofty patriotism” (?) of this- “ Cata- line of Rome,” electrified the crowd, and told terribly against the * Order.' We clip the foregoing from the Iasi Federal Union. That the ponderous blows dealt by Dr. Miller upon the pie bald bead of bogus Democracy should wrathfully rahe its dandruff, ievery natural and excusable. It is also very natural for it t<* try to break, as Sax a? possible, their force, by the expedients of ridicule and misrepresentation^— Now, we think we know well the posi tion of Dr. Miller. Since 1850, he has uniformly acted with the Union Party, and been identified with the Union De mocracy. In 1853, as a Union Demo crat, he declared his unwillingness to vote for an opponent of the Georgia Platform, and did not therefore support Judge Johnson. In 1855, he adhered to the same position, and assured us, that he would not support Johnson against an original Georgia Platform candidate. His position upon this sub ject was well known in the fifth dis trict, as were also his views in regard to the American Party. And we here challenge any man to come forward and prove that Dr. Miller has ever sought a nomination from the Johnson democra- cy, or pledged himself to support the claims of its nominee. Yea, more; we challenge them to show that he has ever sought a nomination from the American Party. The position of Dr. Miller is a com manding one. Since 1850, althongh he voted for Gen. Pierce in 1852, he has been identified fully with no politi cal party, but has sympathised with the Hard Democracy of the North- and the Union men of the South. As he and Judge Andrews have uniformly acted together since 1850, he can very consistently and appropriately advocate and urge bis claims; and the ability and zeal with which he is doing it, deserves the admiration and praise of the true friends of the country. We know, and challenge contradic tion, that Dr. Miller’s attachment to the American Party was several months prior to the meeting of the District Con vention which nominated Judge Lump kin. So much for that misrepresenta tion. What next ?—South. Recorder. So far as Col. Underwood—the “swift witness” against Dr. Miller—is con cerned, we do know, that at Habersham spring court he professed great attach ment for the principles of the American party—said he had believed in them ever since the Native American party elected Levin to Congress—and mads so clear and forcible an arguntont ^ their favor that we were induced to ask him to furnish his views for publica tion—which he promised to do. How he happens to be so furious on the other side now, we do not pretend to know. As he has never been considered an office- seeker, of course nobody will believe that “ the wild hunt after office” has had anything to do with his marvellous conversion!
