CHRONICLE & SENTINEL
For tht
Mb. Editor: One or two poinu in Mr. Slaphens’
speech which esceped onr sltenlion, will be noticed
briefly before we enter on the dieenseion of the
political ebaraoter and aapirations of the Bomisb
Church. He speaks cf os in oommon with other
“anonymous writers, as spouting at him in the
dark, through the newspapers.” And again, he
alludes to us ss the one “who leads the van in this
crueade against him.” The italics are him own.—
Now, onoe for all, we disclaim any personal in
tentions in this controversy. It is not st Mr. Ste
phens that we are spouting, but st his ptinciples.
N.r sre we writing for the sake of victory, but of
truth. Nor ia our cruaade against him, but those
who are seeking to subvert onr religious liberties.
Hoes Mr. Stephens suppose that be is tbs only
man in the coantry allowed to speak or write on
political questions I That he can say what be
pleases of men snd things, whils all the world be
sides must remain silent vnd obedient to the
oracle I We have not so learned the freedom of
thought and opinion in this country. As to our
anonymous -elaliona to this controversy, we pre
serve it, simply beoauss we believe that we can best
subserve the cause of truth thereby, end our opin
ions will go for j oat what they are worth —no more,
nor no less.
Another point open which we ere et Issue with
Mr. Stephans, is his assertion that the Constitution
is ignored by the third degree; that Know Noth
ings bind themselves to the Union, with or with
out the Constitution. In this, as in many other
things, Mr. Stephans speaks what he knows notof.
j?»r, »—«*»-, t -*9 «— l etpom m
tnrs beheff, feeling oonecloua of this one fact, that
every member of the Order in the State of Geor
gia will bear ns oat in the assertion, that the Con
stitations, State and Federal, are recognized as tbs
basis Onr organization from Alpha to Omega, and
in none is it more palpably manifest than in the
third degree. Either Mr. Stephens has got hold of
something that ia spnrions, or that whioh has only
revealed s part of the truth. So much to prevent
SDy more oapita! being made in that quarter. As
to the charge of lying, equivooation, treachery,
dkc., of hundreds aLd thousands who sre mem
ber. of the Order, we wise simply to put this in
juxtaposition to his assertion that the bee', friende
bs has on earth are mombers or the order. This
makes him to eay that his beat friends are either
very eou-vy fallows themselves, or they are closely
affiliated with many who are, whioh is nearly aa
bad. We andaretand that in hie speech at Craw
fordville, he stated that all, ornearly all the preach
ere in tbe (Georgia Methodist Conference were
Know Nothings. Thin places them in the same
category with his friends, many es whom have
heretofore claimed that honor. And we know the
faot that hundreds and thousands of Presbyterians
and Baptists are in the same predicament—preach
ere and people. And the worst of it is, they
stick to this lying ooncern in spite of Mr. Stephens,
and preach and pray every Sabbath, as nsnal.—
Whether they take the test given them by Mr.
Stephens, or not, wo cannot say, bnt they are
striving to live up to the principles of troth as
moch as ever. And if their oharacters are not
sufficient to relieve the mind of Mr. Stephens, or
Mr. Gardner, or Gov. Johnson, or the whole host
of Anti Know Nothings, from the charge of lying,
deception, <&c., mr de against them, it is useless for
ns to attempt a vindication of them, and we mnst
fall back despairingly on old Hndibras,
“Convi.ce a men against his wiU,
He’s %f the same opinion still.’’
In continuing the examination of Mr. Stephen’s
constitutional religions teat, wo are led to inquire
wbat is a religions test, and how far may it be
olaimad that the American party makes snch a
tost, when they refuse te elect Boman Catholics to
office in this country 1 Now, when a man will not
vote for another on acconnt of some article in his
religions faith, as the atkiesl for hia disbelief in a
God, or the Mormon for his faith in Joe Smith’s
Bible, it is clear that he makes a religions teat, and
it is a test that he has a right to make under the
Constitution, lor that instrument binds no man’s
conscience at the ballot box. But if Mr. Stephens
should become a resident of Massachusetts, and
find, after he bad aerved his political probation,
that all the preachers of any particular denomina
tion, (say the Methodist,) aa well aa the member
ship generally, wero abolitionists, in fust had even
incorporated it in their discipline, and he shonld
take a pledge thereupon, that he would not vote
for a Methodist for any office because of this inter
ference with the political relations of the land,
conld it bo said that be made a religioaxt test,
when he relaaed them hie support} Certainly
not. Slavery being a poUlioel question, he who
makes it a test iu the snpport of oandidstes for
office, makes a political tea;, not a religious one.
We contend, then, that the Amerioan party have
signified their opposition to the Komiah Chnroh,
not beoanse of any single religions tenet of that
Chn roh, nor an aggregation of all their religions
tenets, bnt because of their political relationships
and tendsnoies. Shonld a member of the Ameri
can party be challenged at the ballot box, accord
ing to Mr. Stephens’ construction es the Constitu
tion, and it be demanded of him why he refused
to vote for a Borneo Cathoiio, he would say that
his refusal was prsdioated on the fears that be has
that the candidate’s chnroh ie antagonistic in its
very oonatitntion, to the pnnoiples of religions
liberty, and consequently to the government of
this Onion. Shonld the oandidate froUtt against
the assnmptions of the Pope and Mother Church
in referanoe to the politioal part of their meed, we
do not believe that hia obligation would bind him
to go against one who made sneh a protftaiion,
unless he believed it to tea mere Jeanitieal trick.
’Tia true, tbe obligation i* predicated on the sup
position that all Catholics are true to their princi
ples and obedient to the alaims of their Chnroh.
But it may be possible thet some ere not, and we
hesitate not t« eey that, whenever a man that de
fines hie position end maintains it, that not only
individnal members, bnt the party aa a whole, will
sustain him. If the native Oatkolios of this oonn
try will seme oat with Ameriaan principles, as
Mr. Ohaadltr has dona, and cot loose from the
authority of ths Fops and Brownson’a Review,
(hia organ In this eountry,) there will be no quar
rel between them. They will shake hands in to
ken of mntnal aid In thi great oanee of Protestant
ism, whioh ie only another name forMvil, aa well
as religions liberty.
Bnt it has been bitterly denied that the Oatho
liee are aiming at political power la this oountry,
or that they form aa a mass a political party, either
openly or covertly, or that they vote aa a nnit for
oandidataa for office, for whatever party will offer
them the greatest Inducements. We admit thf.
they ere rot an opan organised political party, an 1
that on minor questions they may not choose to
take sidee ; but wbat wa oontend for is, that they
have politioal questions for whieh thay contend at
tbe ballot-box, and that they sustain ae one mr
ell candidates for office who suit their peculiar
views, end are willing to carry ont thair design:
We believe that no Presidentialalaction has occm
red tor some years, in which Archbishop Hughs
has not played a conspicuous part. So wall ooc
vinoed are politicians as this fset, that thstime he
oome, when candidates are wont to pay him grer
respect, and art fearful of saying aught that migt
raise the ire of his lordship. It is currently re
ported, and beliaved by many, that through his
influence, the Cathoiio vote was secured to tha
present incumbent by certain promises as to oabi
net officers, foreign ministers, 80. We cannot
vouch for ths correctness of anoh statements, al
though we have heerd, even the exset process of
stipulations entered into between the parties. It
is at lasst admitted by all, that Mr. Pieros received
the vote of the Confessional boat, contra
diefnit; and it is squally true that there hes been
more favors shown Catholios and foreigners under
tha present administration than aver before—ap
pointments being msde from among their number
from tha highest to the lowest office in the gift of
the President; end that in tueh numbers ts not
only to startle, but justly awaken a spirit of jeal
ousy in the breasts of native Americans. Bo pal
pably manifest to politicians about Washington
City is the unity and strength of the Cathoiio vete,
that a distinguished United States Senator from
Georgia, (Mr. Tocmba) has bean baard to assert,
that Archbishop Hugnes coaid at any time throw
100,000 votes on aither side of the scale. Jus
think of that, freemen of Georgia, that the heed of
the Catholic Church in this country, and the rich
est man in it by odds, a foreigner by birth, and a
sworn minion ofthe Pope, who has taken an oath
“to pore* cute and beat down ah ktritux, tchimcUieJ
and nUU," (meaning Proleetanta,) has more pow
er in a Presidential canvass (sod exercises it too,)
than the whole State of Georgia—or, worea than
that, holds tha balance of power in enough of the
Statee Vo elect the President of the United States,
whenever the contest ie the least doubtful. To
divoroe this unholy allianoe of demagogues and
hierarobs; to destroy this monstrous parasite,
which has so early learned to d.cg to the govern
ment while it feeda upon its pep; in other words
to defeat the dangerous combination of the ad
ministration and Catholic parties, baa been one of
the leading objects of ao aarly an organisation of
tha great American party. Mr. Stephens Wa
ter!; looked to ae one of the men for this campaign,
whose eloquence in ao noble e cause, ‘should make
the welkin ring again bnt he hie disappointed
tbe expectations of his old eonalitnenta, and we
fear thrown up such formidable barriers between
him and them, sa that thay nsvar can act together
again.
As an eridenoe how these thief! art done in a
«m»!i way, through the eonfeaaionai, a gentleman
of thii eouuty states, that just prior to the last
Presidential eleotion, he asked a foreign Catholie
who was entitled to a rote if ha did not intend to
support Scott, who bad married into a Catholie
t »mily. The man stated that ha did not know, bnt
wonld tab him the next week. Sara enough on
Sunday he went to attend mass at a Catholie
Chareh la Ml. Stephana oonnty, and the next
I week came out a strong .Pierce man. Several re
spectable gentleman can vouch for this ss a fact.
So on one occasion in Savannah nearly one bun-
J dred Irish laborers were taken from the Railroad
and voted by the priest for his favorite candidate
Such instances are known to be oommon all over
► this land. The eonfeeeional is made an instru
ment of no mean power, to sustain parties that
favor most the wishes of the preisthood. In
times it seems to be all right, but should a Protes
tant minister try to influence the votes of his
parishionors, not only would they become indig
nant themselves, but a hue and cry would be
raised against him, whioh would learn him a les
son the remainder of hie life.
The confessional is what we dread in this coun
try not so much the temporal power of the Pope.
It is the hold that the priesthood have upon the
laiety. Only a few weeks sines a son of Erin in
this county told a gentleman who was ridiculing
tae pretensions of the preist: “ Faith, if ye
should raise your arum againat his Honor, he
could deprive yon of the use of it for life,” and
then instanced a oas. “that h.ppenad in ewaU Ire
land, where a man raised his hand to strikes
priest snd it was strnck with paralysis from which
he never recovered.” Such e blind devoted feitn
as th.s would make them subservant in sll things,
not their votes simply. The whole history of the
liomish Church goea to establish the point that
the laity are the blind vassal* of priestly influ
ence. While the priesthood themselves are duly
Bworn to obey the Pope in all things and carry out
his wili whether it be to excommunicate princes
or pull down republican governments. And
although they dare not schemes, or
make such demonstrations in this country as in
Catholic Europe, yet even here the cloven foot is
occasionally so palpable, as to.give that at ’
-.g Jay, when a little more power is ob
tained, we shall have a display of horns, hoofs
and all.
Wnat means the fallowing illusion in e recent letter
of tbe Bishop of Bardstown, if Home is Dot only
grasping at, but anticipating political influence
enough in this country to change our form of gov
ernment to one more despotic. In speaking of the
efforts making to convert the Indians, he says :
“ their insurmountable indolence, their roving,
vagabond life, more necessary now since the vi
cinity of whitea has deprived them of gain; all
this united—with their continued traffic among
the whites, which cannot be hindered, as long as
the republican government shall subsist, must ren
der the labors of missionaries among them almost
fruitless.” But this by the side of what Arch-
Bisfcop Hughes has said. “ Year by year the Irish
are becoming more powerful in America. At length
the propitious time will come—jome accidental,
sudden collision, and a Presidential campaign at
hand. We will use then the very plofligaiy of our
politiciane for our purposes. They will want to
buy the Irish vote, and we will tell them how they
can buy it in a lump trom Maine to California.”
This only establishes what we have heretofore
said, that the Catholic vote in this country is a
unit, and can and will be used in a lump as the
Arch-Bishop says whenever it suits his purposes.
Through his influence, that foe to the South and
the Constitution of thl3 country, Wm. H. Seward,
is kept in office; and wo would not be surprised
if, by his aid and that of the abolitionists, he is
yet made the President of the United States. Let
the priesthood get a little more power in this
country, and command a little more wealth and
influence, and you will find demagogues and po
litical aspirants, not only catering to their wishes,
but counting their beads, wearing gravels in their
shoes, and saying their Ave Marias and Pater
Hosiers. Then it will be too late to form an Ame
rican party to save the country ; it will te too late
to oall upon the children ol the Puritans and of the
Huguenots to rally to the Constitution and the
Union. The land of Washington and of liberty
will be in the hands of priests and demagogues—
the one swearing allegiance to an old man across
the water, who still holds the insignia of empire,
and the other swearing allegiance to the priests.
With such a combination, the days of the republic
will soon be numbered; and some wandering baid
will have to sing in melancholy strains that
“ Borne ii living Borne do mo re.”

For the Chronicle & Sentinel.
Religious Liberty—Lord Baltimore.
To tub Hon. A. 11. Stephans —Daar Sir :— ln a
speech reoently made by you in the city of Augus
ta, I perceive that you refer to Lord Baltimore, tl e
Catholic founder of Maryland, as having been tLe
fiiat to establish a government on the principle of
re igious freedom, on this continent.
1 beg leave, respectfully, to join issne with you
cn this statement, and that for two reasons : First,
bocause it gives credit to one who does not deserve
it. Second, bocauae it takes away that credit from
one who does deserve it. Lord Baltimore was not
only not the first to found a free government, but
ho never founded such a one at a.l, nor did any of
his Buooessors who inherited his titles. The oio
neer in the cause of religious libertv, was not a
Catholic, but a Baptist; not Lord Baltimore, but
Roger Williams, the founder ot Rhode Island.
“Whatever might have been the intentions of
Lord Baltimore or the favorable disposition of the
King, there was no guarantee in the charter, nor
indeed the least hint of any toleration in religion
not authorised by the law of England.”—Hildreth’s
U. 8., vol. 1., p. 208. Nor was the earliest legisla
tion of Maryland at all more creditable. The
“vaunted clause” for liberty, oxtended only to
professed ohristians, and was introduced by the
proviso, “ that whatsoever pereon shall blaspheme
God, or shall deny or reproa h the Hely Trinity,
or anjrOf the three persons thereof, Bhall be pun
ished with death. 11 —Bancroft’s U. 0., vol. 1., p. 268.
From this we perceive that Jews, now a numer
ous and respectable portion of our population, and
Unitarians, who constitute perhaps the controlling
element in New England Soeiety, to say nothing
of onr Chinese citizens, of whom there are now
some thousands, were ail liable, under this boast
ed free government, to the penalty of the axe, or
of the halter. Says the historian first quoted.—
“The first four seetions of this oelebated act (the
so-tailed Toleration Act) exhibit but little of a tol
erant spirit. Death, with forfeiture of land and
goods, is denounced against all wha shall • •
• • • * * deny our Saviour Jesus Christ to
be the Son of God, or shall deny the Trinity.—
Fine, whipping and banishment, for tbe third
offence are denonneed against all who shall utter
any reproachful words or speeches concerning the
blessed Virgin Mary, or the Holy Apostles or
FvangeUsts 11 —Hildreth vol. 1., p. 847. This is
contained in an act “derived in substance if not in
very words from Lord Baltimore’s drafts,” ditto
supra. This act “did, indeed, bnt carry out a
policy co eval with the settlement of the colony”—
Hildreth vol. 1., p. 847, and was confirmed by the
oath administered to the first governor, which pro
vided for the religioua protection of none bnt
these who beiieved in Jesus Christ.—Bancroft vol,
1., p. 243. This was in 1649. A few years later,
their legislation was even more intolerant; in 1663
those who refused to have their children baptized,
were subjected to a fine of 2000 pounds ol Tobacco.
Hildre h vol. 1., p. 519. And even as late as 1714
persons expressing certain religions opinions,
were liable to have their tongues bored through
and be fined £2o.—Hildreth vol. 11., p. 824. Trne }
the examples last quoted are matters with which
the first Lord Baltimore had nothing to do, for he
died very early in the history of the country; but
they serve to illustrate the spirit of Maryland in
stitnt one and are not incompatible with the origi
nal charter.
It is worthy of remark furthermore, that whet
ever of right or wrong there may be in the charter
or legialation of Maryland, Catholics as each, are
to be neither applanded nor censored for the same ;
fora vast majority of the population were Pro
testants, (Bancroft 11. 454, and Hild. 1.1«5,) and
their charter was granted from a Protestant crown.
The Catholics had the best of all possible reasons
for being in favor of toleration, for whether in
Maryland or in England, they were alike liable to
persecution from the dominant party. Indeed,
they were once or twice disfranchised on the very
soil whither they had fled to escape disfranchise
ment.
There is no reason to suppose that the fall con
ception of “soul-liberty” had ever occurred to the
mind of either the first Lord Baltimore or of any
of his five successors. ‘‘lt was not toleration, but
supremacy, for which Catholics and Puritans alike
sought, while the Church of England for the main
tenance of her own supremacy, struggled equally
against both.” Hild. I, 204. ‘‘Pelicy, it is evi
dent, had a much greater share in the enactment
of this act, (the Toleration Act) than any enlight
ened view of the rights of opinion, of which indeed
it evinces but a very limited and confused idea.
Now, that the Pnritaos were triumphant in New
England, an exclusive Catholic colony would not
have been tolerated for a moment. The role chance
of securing to the Catholics the quiet enjoyment
of their faith, consisted in bestowing a like liberty
on the Protestants—a peucy indeed upon which
Lord Baltimore had fan id it necessary to act from
the very first planting of the colony." Hild. I,

bach, my dear sir, i 3 the testimony of history,
with regard to the much boasted freedom of the
government instituted by the Catholic founder of
Maryland. I know that historians, and even those
frcm whom I have quoted, catching the popular
breath, sometimes speak of him as the “first to
establish religious liberty but these very histo
rians modify these expressions and indeed canal
them, by narrating the facts above set forth facta
which invalidate hie claims and those cf ali hie
successors. Whatever laudations may be indulged
in by those dispossd to favor Lord Baltimore their
own evidence when will show that there is
but little harmony between their applause, and the
facta to which they testily.
AUGUSTA, GA.. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 27, 1855.
Xbe f.blowing ..'Count ol Huger Williams on tba
other band, will show that ha understood the
theory of religious liberty, in all its plenitude and
glory, as well as at that ear y period as the most en
lightened of ibe present day. He protested that
“magistrates are but the tjenU of the peyple, or its
trustees, on whom no spiritual power in matters
of worship can ever be oonferred “that their
power extends only to the bodies and goods and
outward estate of men.” Bano. I, 871. “In the
capacious recesses of his mind he had revolved
the nature of intolerance, and he, and he alore ,
had arrived at the great principle, whioh is its sole
effectual remedy. He announced his discovery
nndet the simple proposition of the sanctity of
conscience. The civil magistrate should restrain
crime, bat never control opinion ; should punish
guilt, but never violate the freedom of the boul.
The doctrine contained within itself an entire re
formation of theological jurisprudence : it wonld
blot fiom the statute book the felony of noncon
formity; would quench the Ares that persecution
had so long kept burning; would repeal every
law compelling attendance on pnblio worship ;
would abolish tithes and all foresd contributions
to the maintenance of religion; would give an
equal protection to every form of religious faith ;
and never suffer the authority of the civil govern
ment to be enlisted against the moaqne of the
Mussulman, or the altar of the fire-worshiper
against the Jewish Synagogue, or the Korn an Ca
thedral. In the unwavering assertion of these
views, Boger Williams never changed hie position ;
the sanctity of conscience was the great tenet which
with all its consequences he detended as be first
trod the shores of New England, and in his ex
treme '>d age it was the last pulsation of his
heart.” Wanegoft 1.. 167-8.
■ , '.i.'wtt its int ,<enon in modernemmtandom,
to assert in its plenitude the dootrine of freedom of
conscience, the equality of opinions before the
law; and in its defence he wss the harbinger of
Milton, the precursor and superior of Jeremy
Taylor." Brancroft I, 876. The votes of Wil
liams in favor of liberty was heard in New Eng
land in 1681; whioh was before Lord Bal imore’s
patent was granted; when Milton was but 28 years
of age and Taylor but 18. Williams’ great idea of
what he called “soul liberty" was at that time,
says Hildreth, “ wholly novel." vol. I. p. 228.
isovel indeed it may have been, outside of the
little Baptist world; but there 17 ere many of that
faith and order besides Williams, who wore im
bued with the spirit of liberty. Indeed it was not
Williams who produced the Baptists; the Bap'lets
produced Am. Tney were not the exponents of
hit views, but he of tkeirs. Said the people of
Rhode Island, in their instructions to him, when
he went to England to apply to Charles II for a
charter, “ plead oar case in such sort as we may
not bo compelled to exeroise any civil power over
men’s consciences; we dojndge it nolesß than a
point of absolute cruelty.’’ These inßtrnctions ere
printed in Mass. Hist., Coll. XVII. 85. “ The
document,” says Bancroft, “ is of the highest in
terest; no learning nor skill in rhetorio could
have mended it.” 11. 61. “ Freedom of con
science, unlimited freedom of mind, was from
the first the trophy of the Baptists.” ditto 11. 68.
“They applied the dootrine of the Beformation,
to the social relations of life and threatened an
end to Lung-craft, spiritual dominion, tithes and
vasalage. The party web trodden under foot with
roproaohes and most arrogant scorn; and its his
tory is written in the blood of myriads of the
German peasantry; but its principles, safe in
their immortality, esoaped with Boger Williams
to Providenoe ; and his colony is the witness that
naturally the paths of the Baptists wero paths of
freedom , pleasantness and peace.” Banc. 11. 459-
In the government of Rhode Island, “ Freedom
of faith and worship was assured to all,— the first
formal and legal establishment of religious liberty
ever promulgated whether in America or Europe.”
Hildreth I. £2B. The following is a qnotation
from the charter itself; “No person within said
colony shail be molested, punished, disquieted, or
called in question for any differences of opinion
in matters of religion who does not actnally dis
turb the civil peace; but that all and every person
and persons may at all times freely and fully have
and enjoy his and their own judgments and con
sciences, in matters of religious concernments,
they behaving themselves peaceably and quietly,
and not using this liberty to licentiousness and
profanoness, nor to the civil irjary and outward
disturbance of others.” “The charter did not
limit freedom to Christian sects alone; it granted
equal rights to the paynim and the worshipper of
Fo.” Ban. 11. 68.
In discussing this question, many seem to take
it for granted, that the governments, both of Mary
land and Rhode Island, were really free, and that
the point to be decided, relates only to priority of
time. This is not the true issue. It is not a ques
tion of time, (as between these two olaimants) but
a question of fact. I have shown that the govern
ment of Lord Baltimore was not free; and that of
Williams was.
Allow mo, Mr. Stephens, to say in conclusion,
that if in the casual allusion referred to, yon have
erred, I believe you have not done bo intentionally.
I know enough of your character, to feel sure that
you would in no oase wilfully misrepresent, and
that if you have inadvertently done so, no one will
be more ready to rectify the matter tUan yourself.
Your speeoh will probably be read by tens of thou
sands, and the wrong impression made by your
remark mast be very general. People ooLflding
in your habitual accuracy, will be the more dis
posed to rely on your statement, and will thus be
the more easily misled. Nor is it a trifling matter.
There are in the State of Georgia some seventy or
eighty thousand Baptists, actual communicants, to
say nothing of their friends and adherents, all of
whom are, more or less interested in the point at
issue. I know that you do not wish to do the de
nomination iDjustioe, by denying its lawful claims
to honorable distinction, and to the gratitude of
the world. I confldoDtly believe, therefore, that
you will aeoond the effort that I have made, so to
place this matter before the publio, as that all may
be able to “give honor to whom honor is due.”
I will only say further, that I express neither ap
proval or disapproval of any sentiment or state
ment in your speech, other than the one above dis
cussed. Being a Minister of the Gospel, I deem it
incompatible with my profession to take any aotive
part in polities, and hereby utterly disclaim any
public connexion with the same, in any way what
ever. The point in question heir g purely histori
cal, and one of great interest to the denomination
of Christians to which I belong, tomes quite legit
imately within my sphere.
With great respect, I am sir, yourob’t. serv’t.

Si*: Emboldened by your own declaration that
you do not carry your principles in your pocket*
I, au humble citizen, and one who has uniformly
supported you, desire you to place yourself in an
unequivocal position before our citizens. Contra
dictory as are the rumors about here, it is almost
impossible to assign you a fixed place in the politi
cal world. Some of your constituents affirm that
you favor our present State and National policy,
whilst others as firmly deny it. Ido not wish to
tax your time so far as to ask an elaborate exposi
tion of your views upon any of the issues which
will probably divide the people at oar fall elections.
A ooncise answer, that need not occupy more than
five minutes to pen, since, I presume, your mind
is already fixed, will meet all our expectations.
The perpie of Georgia, I suspect, will be called
upon to sanction one of two platforms, which will
be presented for their acceptance, vis: that of the
Democratic Convention recently assembled at
Milledgeville, and that of the National American
Convention, jost held in Philadelphia. Whioh of
these do you endorse ?
I have thought proper to afford you this oppor
tunity of publicly setting yourself rectus in curia
populi, because some of tbe sentiir ents announced
in your so called Anti-Know Nothing letter, may
have undergone some modification sines the pub
lication of the platform above alluded to.

Bounds.
Thunday 26—W e have just rjtn.oed from
iVmpen. What atfenehantingday has gHdsd bv.
We ha 1 an early drive to the Palace ot Portici,
cum privtleyio. The sitnation is char virg; but
the Palace does not equal in magnificence these of
Genoa or of Boms. In one room were the por
traits of Napoleon, Murat, Joseph and wife, and of
M rue Letitia, the mother. Splendid pointings
and Haul to be fine likenesses. Thence we drove
to Hurcnrlaneum, and descended seventy five feet
below the town of Portici. The exhumed city
that perished centuries ago is far more perfect thuu
the mummies of Cheops and his illustrious suc
cessor. We vieited the silent theatre of the elite
of Homans and Home’s most palmy days. It aoems
in a perfect state, or at least, ail its marked por
tions have been cleared of the burying lava. The
orchestra yet retains its music stands; the stage
corridors are intact, and as all were provided with
candles we lighted up the house. But we could
notact one of Terence’s comedies, and contented
ourselves with fancying we might, through the
vista of autiquity, find Kofc'ius there on a starring
engagement from Rome. So for once I trod the
cla-aio boards myself, and to our own little family
audience delivered a brief discourse on the glori
ous days of the olden times.
The houses of the ancient city, now opened to
the light of modern days, are deeply impressive to
the view ; but you have their details in a thousand
guide books.
My own book I will try to fill with more
original matter, cf which I have enough to fill
a library ; for there are in the world, as now
eeen, things as atrargo among men and man
ners as tbe pick and shovel have here laid bare,
of that so long lost, though now exposed.
We left this mute but eloquent city of forgotten
men, to visit another cf similar kind. Strange
and intense feeliDgs moved me as I gizid on tiie
graod and silent city O' Pompeii. The dwellings
of the antique raoD who once inhabited this spot
amidst the collected luxury and elegance of all ex
isting refinement, are toogueless oratt re. The
Mosaics aud Frescoes are as brilliant now as they
were 2,000 years ago ; and every house is open to
the brigh* sky of Italy, as though some Asmcdous
had indulged his power in unroofing the entire
city, so that for our sakos nothing should longer
be concealed within it. There are the halls with
their maible floors and tables; tho wiudowlers
bed rooms, like closets, small but lofty, and tho
light and air vieitmg them directly from the smi
ling hoavens above. The rooms all issue upon
the court or atrium, which is entirely surrounded
with marble columns, adorned with ppeakiDg stat
ues, but voiceless fountains.
Wo visited the houses of Glaucus and of Sallust;
the villa of Diomede, where Julia dwelt; the tem
ples of Venus end Jupitor, tho Forum and the Am
phitheatre. Pornpoii is a vast museum ot frescoes,
or a collection of curiositios with the lid oft.
For hours wo wandered through the narrow
streets amidst marble columns and vacant ehrinea,
fit for the wonder even of modern man.

April 27th. —Congratulate me, dearest, for I have
asuouded Mount Veanvious 1 and that, too, on my
own proper feet instead of a sedan chair, as hzy
woman are. Oh ! lam so proud of my success.
Oc'avia is quite as much so.
But the ascent was the fur uiest thing imagina
ble. I laughed until tears poured out in a stream.
But to begin at tbe beginning, us Granny used to
say, at an early huur we drove to tho hermitage,
or last house on the mountain ; the road lay among
groves of fruits, and vinoyards that grew among
masses of lava. At the hermitage, all took to rid
ing except the Doctor, who wculd neither mount
a donkey, or ascend the mountain farther. He
only came so far, he averred, from conviction that
a leg or arm wonld be broken in the ficlic, and he
oat his instrument* to set it a?ain in a
shady grove hard by. My donkey rejoiced as a
good donkey should whose ma«tor—
a feather 'n his
And called him Maoar oni.**
At the foo* of the cone quadrupeds were dis
missed, and then ensued a debate, and a grave one
too. It was feet and guides, versus sedan chair
and bearers; but 1 resolved on a peaestrain trip, so
that I coula look about me. Bo did Octayia. We
s arted.
Just pioture a giant haystack, with a parcel cf
ants olimbing up and slipping down, but trying it
again. The cone ia very ateop, about a mile h gh,
and the ground formed of clumsy massenot lava and
scoriaa or ashes. But I had no ess than four helps.
One man had bold of either arm, around my waißt
was a leather str*p with a long band which pass
ed over tho shoulder of a third who pulled me all
the way, while a fourth—think of tho picture—
stood at my back and strenuously assisted in
lightening the load. In front of all wa'ked the
ffuides to show ‘he beßt road, while all talked,
aughed, gesticulated and shouted in ceased med
ley. 1 CDuld not have walked for merriment, but
assisted as I waa, had but to raise and set down
my feet, whioh was lackey for me. Every few yards
I had to stop, either to laugn with greater earn*, or
to eDjoy the viow. The bay, the city, the villas,
the islands, and the deep blue aca; oh lit seemed
enchantment.
Two or three offloers of the Saranac, a Virginia
doctor, two other young Amerioans, with our
selves, formed the party ; and to eay nothing of
tbe twelve assists .Is and sundry guides, there
were tweold men with baskets full of oranges and
wine, who made the entire accent so loaded, with
the more hope of aelling a tew oarlinav worth.—
The two hours ascent did not fatigue me in the
slightest degree, and when we retched the summit
ead had tbe olouds benoath onr feet, three hearty
cheers were given for Amerioa! The very clouds
seemed to favor us, for just above our heada one
veiled tho hot sun trom u*, while the whole world
beneath was fl jcd?d with glorious radiance. The
aea looked like frosted silver, and the islands like
sapphires set within it.
The new crater was smoking and hissing like
some huge engine. Over the hot lava was passed
round to the extinet volcano, as they deemed it,
but where any stick penetrated the lava coat out
rushed a strea n of smoke.
The *'ld crater was magnificent; and down,
down, down, a thousand feet below, boiled the
Ereat oauldron of Y T esuvins. I stood on the verge.
low solemn the silence of the scene, broken only
by the throbs of the great mountain heart which
fluttered and straggled as in its lußt agony.
We lingered until 4 o’clock, when the wind be
coming keenly cold, as it blew across tbe bunks
of snow that lay olose even to the fire’s mouth, aud
the guides counselled a retreat in double quick
time.
The descent is by a path of cinders about two
feet deep, and the goiDg down is martged by
holding one’s self back and allowing the guide to
bear you along. Every step brought me fcnoe
de*p in anhea, from amidst which a lave i-tone
wonld go thundering down the cone and terrifying
all in the path. What fun it was. My spirits
were ao joyous I really regretted oar arrival at the
base, and fairly sighed to think there wth one
lofty end inspiring pleasure lor me lees iu the
world.
This cone rises in the extinct crater of Monte
Sornma, which sent forth the lava streams and
deluge of ashes that destroyed both Herculaneum
and Pompeii, and at its base I once more mounted
on my “ macaroni” who picked his steps daintily
over the lava, which is here like waves of the saa
suddenly turned toetone.
Once again seated at my hotel window I saluted
Vesuvine as an acquaintance I was proad of
making. I had stood upon its summit, and was
home again in safety, enchanted aud without fa
tigue.
[Correspondence cf the Mobile Tribune .]
Naples, May 14, 1855.
On Tuesday, May 1,1866, iu the morning sev
eral Neapolitan told me an eruption would soon
burst lorth, as the dark clouda over the oratcr bad
been tinged with crimson just at midnight on
Monday, and this has been the herald of the Fire
fiend since the days of Pompeii—hence, I was not
surprised when I received a rnes.-age from our cou
rier, begging us to hasten from the dinner table,
as the flames were already visible from oar balcony.
Aw«y we flew np the stairway, aa though we im
agined, like a fl ght of rocsets, it woo d be all over
ere we arrived.
The night was calm, not a wavelet disturbed the
mirror-like surface of the bay. The moon was
high in the heavens, casting a long train of ra
diance over tbe water. Paralleled with the moon
light, fell the crimson rays from the volcano, while
between them lay a space of deep, deep blue, like
a pavement of saphire.
flow strangely beautiful w»s tbe soene—paired
and domes, spire* and churches, ships aDd little
boats were ail touched with s light like silver, or
glowing in the crimson rays of the “ Fiery Moun
tain.”
Along the mole were clustered hundreds of
Neapolitan fisherman urging the naseer-by to em
bark with them for a row across to the base ot
Vesuvius, their dark gipsy like faces singularly
wild by the red light. But, the Mountain I P was
perfectly glorious I Down tbe side poured a grand
cataract ot Dva, while trom the crater eprang ap at
intervals, great blood-red stones, which seemed
poised in air for a few seconds, tnen fell crashing
down below. Althonzh we were twelve miles dis
tant, we beard the“voioe of tbe mountain,” above
all other rounds of earth or air.
Clouds cf smoke hung in festoons sround tbe
higheet peak of Vesuvi a, and although thera waa
no wind, they were constantly changing into the
moet fantastic forma, now presenting the appear
ance of a lion, then an eagle with a scroll of fire iD
hia talons, or a procession of mutes with blsck
cow's, or castles or palaces, all tinged with rose
oolor.
We passed all the niglt looking upon the moun
tain. There was an enchantment about it which
absolutely forbade repose, and it was only when
the daylight came and haif th# glory had depart
ed, that I was enabled to cloee my window.
Not content with our distant view we resolved,
od Weddesday afternoon, to approach nearer tbe
wonderful spectacle. At four we lett Naples in
an open barouche, drawn by three strong horses,
and drove rapidly througn Portici anJ up the
mountain to tbe hermitage, passing through the
vineyard, from whoee grape* the Cfcrisu
is made. The road waa throngeu with carriages,
horses and donkiee, and pelestriaaa by thousands.
It was an eiquiaite evening and the very Leav

a retired path way, through a grove of young chea

which seems to invito, nay urge a uearer approach.
It was really difficult to resist the spell.

to place the sublime spectacle before you, but 1
feel there is no drapery ot words in which I can
clothe the 4 *image in my mind” and present it to

The Kinney Expedition.
Col. Kinney has addressed a card to the publio
in relation to his Expedition to Nicaragua, in
which he expresses his gratitude that the dear
public have manifested so much concern about
him, and avers that a great principle of conetita
al right is involved in his success. He proceeds
to Bay:
The late news from Nicaragua is of a character
that makes our presence in that fcitate at once*
necessary for tho management of our alTaira. The
revolution continues without abatement, and our
private advices assure us that the property of ab
i-euLees is in jeopardy. At this moment, when
luture success «u our business seems to depend
upon the promptitude of our movements, we find
the Government of the United States blockading
our snip with three war steamers and a revenue
vossol. Our departure by the steamship we had
chartered boing thus prevented by a strong naval
force, wo have been compelled, at great pechuiary
sacrifice and personal inconvenience, to seek other
meauß of transport. We invite our friends to fol
low by the first conveyance for Nicaragua.
The above high handed measuro to oppress pri
vate citizens -n tbe pursuit ot lawful business nan
bien undertaken by a most extraordinary coalition,
that of the government ot the Uni eu Slates and
the Accessary Transit Company ol Nicaragua.
The latter party to the alliance is a rivai of ours
in the prcjeci of sending settlers to Nicaragua.--
They to wnom the trust of administering tempo
rarily the affairs of this nation is confided, have
presumed to interpose the strong arm of the n*vy
to place a check upon lawful commerce, when no
public exigency demanded it, wnen no publio in
terest was in danger, but merely to pioleot one
of its citiziUtt to the rain of another*
Wo do not desire, however, at this time, to in
dulgoin useless criminations, or pour onr private
complaints into the publio ear. It is because the
great cDestitutions! right of voluntary expatriation
has been invaded, because we have been unable to
obtain either a hearing in our courts ot law, or a
response to our demands npon the government for
a cessation ot these persecutions, that we addres>
onrseives directly to the American people. The
charges we herein make, wo have abundant testi
mouy to substantiate by proof when the day ar
lives. Until then we ask that tho verd c- in our
case may be deterred. Our best defence against
the accusations of our enemies, will be our future
deeds in the 1 nd ot our adoption.
W e claim the right to piaut, amidst the wilds of
Nicaragua, upon our own legal y acquired property,
tUe school-house and the church, to live there a
becomes orderly, industrious aud law-abiding cili
sons, to encourage agriculture, establish commerce,
aud cultivate Uie arts whicn ernbellsh life. In
so doing, we viola.a no law, either human or di
vine. And if, in the fullness of time, political
chaugob should occur, if a respectable, responsible
aud permanent government anould be establisned
where anarchy now reigns; if the unhappy wars
that uow desoil te the land should give place to
peaceful labor, and the State rise again, purified
by her trials, and prepared lor tne place destined
by the God of Nations lor her, we Bhall still be
roady to bear toe verdict pronounced open our
enterprise. For that verdict we shall not appeal
to the government, bnt to the sovereignty ot that
public sentiment before which tbe government it
self mast bow. H. L. Kinney.
New York, Jane 6th, 1855.
American ItsuZeaWuu *lt)«Ung al New York.
New Yobe, June 18.— Tnia afternoon,agreeably
to tne call of the New York Delegates to me N»
tionai Council ot Know Nothings, a large assem
blage crowded thol'ark, where stands were eroded
at tour points, with a band of muaioon the ceniral
stand. Two companies of Continentals were pre
sent during a portion of the exercises, and poifeci
older prevailed. At limes the audience was quite
enihuoiastio. Isaac J. Oliver called the meeting
to order at a qßarter past 6 o’clock, when James
YV. Barker, ol New York, was elected President,
assisted by twenty-two Vioe Presidents, and throe
Secretaries.
The President, on taking his station on the oen
tral platform, thanked the audience for tbe honor
conferred. He staled that the American party had
assembled with no regard to geographical lines or
local prejudices—that the elemeul of secrecy had
been removed from the organization of the parly
by the recent PhiladelpUia Convention; aud
although Senator Wilson told thoee who disagreed
with him on tne subject of slavery, that they were
digging their own graves and that he should
drive the funeral car, here they were alive and
kicking, and were fully resolved that Americans
shall rule Amerioa forever.
Mr. Lovell, oneof the secretaries, then read the
Plaiform of the American Party, whioh was adop
ted by acclamation.
Gov. N. S. Brown, of Tenn., was then introduc
ed and eloquently addressed tbe meeting. He was
followed by other eloquent speakers and muon
enthusiasm was exoited.
Gov. Brown in the coarse of his speech said the
present administration seemed to have bat little
else to do but to decapitate the members of the
Order, but where one head falls off hundreds were
brought into the party.
Know Nothmgism he said was a political neces
sity, canned by the corruptions of the old parties,
Who is Bamf He is the spirit of 1776, nursed by
the Kant, watched by the shepherds of the West,
and now approaohiug the fullness of manhood.
We are opposed to the agitation of the slavery
question. The constitution ia our rale of action.
We are not higher law men—we the Admin
istration to build a Pacific Railroad; to proicot our
commarce, and to oarry out measures for the good
of the nation. We have heard much talk of the
restoration of the Missouri Compromise—whet
trood would au h a restoration dot—Better that
Kansas and Nebraska should both be hurled into
me Pacific than that two such territories should
be used to alienate the South from the North.
Loss bt Fire.—“ Tbe valuable Steam Saw Mill
known as the Mclntosh Mill, fifteen miles South of
uh, on the Bt. John’s River, was totally destroyed
by tire on Wednesday night last. It is supposed
to be the work of an incendiary. The mill vtthe
time of the destruction, was owned by Messrs.
Stephen Bryan and Beig. Wilaon, and we believe
was not insured.
“We s'nee rely trust that the perpetrators of
this heinous offence may be brought to justice,
We cannot be too careful of our possessions so
long as villany stalks abroad in our midst, burn
ing and robbing as it passes our doors.”
M»j. Barnett, to whose politeness we are in
debted for tbe Jacksonville New*, of Saturday,
containing the above intelligence, informs ua that
the incendiary has been discovered and arrested.
He was a sailor belonging to a vessel called the
Mary Means, which was lying at the mill, reotiv
ing her lroight. The sailor had a difficulty with
the captain and pet fire te the mill with a view of
burning the vesbol, whioh he supposed to be
aground. In this, however, he was mistaken as
she got off without reoeivii g any damage.
The scoundrel confessed his crims, and now
awaits his trial ia the jail at Jacksonville.—Savan
nah Courier.
Knickerbocker Goeru*—“Will you give me a
g aes of a*e, please?’’ aske-i a rather seedyish looking
person, with an oid but well ooat and
a’most too shiny a hat. It was produce! by the
bar-tender, creaming over the edge ot tbe tumbler.
“Thank >e,” said the recipient, as he placed it to
his lips. Having finish* i it at a swallow, he smack
ed his lips, and sa d : “fnat’a very fine ale — very.
Wnosewit!” “It is Harman’s ale.” “Ah ! Har
man’s, eh ? Well give ns another g ass ot it.” It
was done; and holding it up to the light and look
ing through it, the connoisseur said : M, Pon my
word’it is superb ale— superb l clear as Maderia.
I must have some moreot mat. Give me a mug of
iu” Tne mug was furnished ; but before put
ting it to his lips, the imbiber said: •• Whose
ale did you say this was I” “ Harman’s,”
repeated the bar-tender. The mug was ex
hausted, and a'so the vocabulary of praise; and
it only remained for the appreciative tentieman
to say, as he wiped his mouth and went toward
the door. “Harman’s ale, is it) I know Harman
very well—l shal see b:m soon, and will settle
with him for two glasses and a mug of his incom
parable brew! Good maw iDg.”
Launch or a Shit ox VY ab. — The U. 8. steam
frigate Mammae, one of the six war vessels order
ed to be built by our government, was launched st
the Charlestown (Mass.) Navy Yard on Thursday.
The keel of the ship was laid in July of last ye*r.
She ia built in the atrongeet manner, chiefly of
live-oak timber SDd plank, and there has been
used in her hull 226,740 pounds of iron, and 189 -
773 pounds of bolt copper. Her dimensions are
8,800 Urns, carpenters’ measurement. She is to be
propelled on the screw principle, with Griffith’s
English patent propeller, having two blades of 17
feet diameter. Her engine, it is supposed, will be
ot 800 horse power. Notwithstanding hermeaca
of steam propulsion, she will have ample provision
for sails. Her mainmast will measure sbove the
ppsr deck £8 feet 9 inohes; leogth of masthead 1 9

* The Columbus Enquire has the following noUot
of the mooting bold in that city on tbo if ih inst.
1 to appoint delegate* to tbo Convention to bo hold
in Miliedgeville on the Bth of Angast next:
» The mooting, wo are gratified to say, was both
; l*rgo and respectable, consisting, as wo are as
r sated, or a greater number of persons than evei
’ before ao&emb.ed in this city on any similar ooca
sion, and including a flattering proportiorffcf oar
best, most conservative and patriotic citiieus.—
The utmost harmony and good fooling prevailed
ihrongncut the mooting, and to oar mind, the
whole proceedings presented the most gratifying
evidence of the prosperity, policy, aud final success
ol tne Columbus Southern Union Movement.
After the appointment of Delegates with alter
nates, to secure a full representation in the con
templated Convention, ae stated in the pnbiished
proceedings, several gentlemen presen', in obe
aienoe to tne wishes of the meeting, made short
addresses vindicating the propriety and necessity
of the so called Coiumous movement. The mo
lives and objects of the originators were vindicated
from the various unfounded charges brought
against them by partisan enemies, and the fact
moot clearly set forth that the movement is one
which reoommends iiselt emphatically to the peo
ple, should be supported by the people, and will
unj its only opponents in those who prefer the
uncertain benon* of oontinued alliance with exist
ing rotten Northern organisations to that more
reliable and certain resource to be tound in e peo
pie united, inspired by a common desire and de
termination to maintain their constitutional rights
and interests ae tne first and paramount object,
surrendering, or at least for a time suspending
ancient diH»rencee, and uniting for the patriotic
purpose ot acoomplianing ends so vitally important
not only to tne Bomb but to the Union.
I>. X. Martin, Esq., being oulied for, came for
ward, ami iu a c;ear aud rapid manner reviowd
che pi radios and vindicated the aims aud cbj-iot*
cr tile meeting. He rdverleu to the peril of the
lines and the daugere which tiueaioned ns from
me poworlul organ zation ol all the earnouts ot
ireecoilism in the North; d. feuded me “Culum
ons Movement’' from tne charge Oi being section
ui; that our ot juci was to aupport and uphold tbo
Constitution, preserve its guarantees, and main
-am the equality of the bourn aud the just rights
of every section of the couledarac>. It was a
pla form upon wuich all patriots could unite.—
Notwithstanding the fierce opposition with which
we hud bsou assailed, a chord nad been struck iu
the pub ic mind that vi rated throughout tbo
State, aud the only hope of our enemies was to
stifle and crush tuis move iu its incipieucy, its
oradie. Our piatform was the one erected by
Georgia in 1860, and was then received and hailed
by the country ns a nobic, patriotic aud just expo
sition ot the rights and remedies ot the bourn.—
That no party was equal vo the exigencies of a
crisis like this. The interests, issues ana results
were too vast and gigantic to eouimit to the cueto
dy of any party. The blavory question must be
solved aud settled by the people, aud no time was
K ever more auapioioua f jt such a movement than
the present.
He examined the capabilities of the Whig and
Democratic parties for succeisiully grappling with
the difficulties of the subject* Tne Whig party
was denationalized aud defunct, 'ike Democratic
parly was prostrated in all the tree Btates, in a mi
nority in some of the slave, and was barely able in
the lemsinder to preserve its ascenduucj. Its
Chief Magistrate, although a man of good leeliugs
and intentions, he feared was under inauspicious
influences ; and in fact was sutp citU, even by his
mends iu the boulh, ot playing false to us iu the
matter of Kansas and Ciba.
Mr. Maruin concluded by urging every man—
whether Whig, Democratic, or Know Nothing—
to rally with us in this higti and patriotic parpose
to unite the oountry under a oonnnou banner, in
defence ot a common cause, and against a common
too. The principles involved were above, outaido
01, and independent of, all party dogma aud puny
organization. Our platform oweß its paternity to
the bla e of Georgia, aud the galleut Dixon ol
Keniuckey, who aione in the Benate Chamber ot
the United btates had the courage to move the
repost of the Missouri restriction, and demand
ihut the bouth should have her rights. Let us not
desecrate aud pollute its fair fabric and propor
tions with the corrupt embraces of any party ; but
let the People ol Gtorgi , of the boulh, and ot the
Union, repudiate all parties until this question is
settled, and, rallying with us npo > tne Georgia
Platform, declare to me world tLat the K ghts ot
the bouth shall be ma.utained and the Union cl
ihe Contederaoy be perpetuated.
Mr. Wm. H. Mitohkll being called for respond
ed nearly as follows:
The object of the meeting on the S6‘.h alt. was
to break up all old part / iHsoo.aiiona. He thought
the present a propitious time tor tuoh a movement
—all the old national issues had been sallied, and
each of the old parties had acquiesced in the poll
ov adopted at present by the Federal Government.
He felt it was not goiug 100 far to say that every
man in this meeting was acting in good faith. 1.
had boon stgmatized as a -‘Know Nothing” move
mout—so far as he was concerned, he denied any
participation in their councils. But in juatioe u>
me oraer, he wonld say, he had seen acme good
iruita result from their action.
lie wee opposed to sibilating with any of tho ex
istiug uatioual organizslioue. We had always lost
in the partnership. Tne stakes were too une
qual. In ,all defeats, they loose offioe, (and that
tor a time only) and we loose rights. And as
long as we oonunue loaot with them, just so long
will we be pushed about on the poutioal oueaa
boardto give strength and power to those who
live by plundering ns.
It we wish to secure onr rights in the Union, we
should unite at home, and when we are asaailod
and driven to a point that cabs lor resistanco, lei
us turn to onr neighbors sb those most likelr to
s and by os and with ns in the struggle. He had
tears ot allies taken from among a people who had
no interest in the matter, and whose proclivities
in the issue wo anticipate are oslonlated to excite
suspicion rather than to inspire oouflienoe.
B. A. Thornton, Kaq., in response to the call of
the meeting, in eubstaLoe aaid : That this move
ment had neen denounced aa a Know-Nothing
movement, a Disunion movement, <fcj.; but he ap
pealed to every Georgian, to Uuiou men and
southern Bights meu, ii it was not the movement
of the Union men of 1850, in whiob Georgia ac
anisee d by 18,000 majority, and the Southern
ghte meu agreed in tonle.lgov.lle to abide by ill
We ask nothing exoept that whioh iaoonaiita--
lional—nothing exoept the Georgia I'lallorm oi
1850, and it tnia was Disunion, ne for ona was
willing to be called a DLuuionist. Tnat he was
tor abiding by and Blending up to the Georgia
Platform; that in giving bis assent to the Gacrgia
I'lallorm of 1850, he felt and he hoped that every
Georgiau leit, .s our Fathers did m 1778, when
they pledged their lives, their property and their
sacred honor, to maiutaiu their rights. Tnet we
did not propose to to m a aeotional parly, but we
do propose o out moan irom all the pieuenl Ns
tiousl urgauis .lions, and to form a Uonalitulioua
Pally—a pa ty of ms lor the defaces ol
our most ssured ngnie. It had been said that
there were sound men at the North ; he believed
this wa, true, and bs waa ready now and at all
limes to take them by the haud, and to clasp them
to hia besom ae lncnda ana lovers. We gave
them here • Platform apon which all UuDslita
lional mou uoull unite, whether Whigs, Demo
orals or Know Nothings. He lor one waa ready
and willing to bury all iba dia'iuoiioua and minor
differences wbicn had hitherto divided them, and
as Hr. Stephens aaid in Lia tatter, to lorm a party
upon the paramount ww of the day, to wit: the
slavery question. Hitnerlo, when a sound Demo
rat, auou as Dickinson, O'Conner, or Bronson,
wished to oatrecise the “ rouan membera” of the
Democratic party, they themselves ware ostracised,
and had not where to go 1 Thoy oould not join
the northern Whig party, it was as much aboli
lioniaed as tbeir own party, whioh they wished to
purity. Tbe same might bo said or Fillmore,
Granger, and other silver grey Whigs of the
North. Bat here we presented a sound Platform
—a Hard Platform, if you please—upon which all
sound man North or Bomb, East or West, oould
unite tor tha protection of the Conetitutiou and
the Union, aa our Bavoiuiionary fathers had made
it. W hen ins Constitution and this Georgia Plat
form of 1860 were violated, and we were asked by
what title we h>ld onr property in slaves, be for
one was ready, aa tna Bootoh Barone were when
K'.ng John assembled them and aakad by what
authority they held their lands, to draw his sword
and say to the opposer, “*y Mm HU*, and Mu alon*
I hold my property, and will maintain it or die I 1 ’
The Hon. G. K. Thomas, in answer to numerous
calls, aaid: That he did not intend, at that hoar,
to makes speech ; it waa unnecessary. Suffloieut
had been aaid, and well said, by those who bad
preoeded him, to leave no one in doubt. The ob
ject ot tbia movement was to unite the Bomb, Ms
tohoh Suutk, upon in* great i- lues touching the
existence o> Slavery la tha territories and Uie new
States to be admitted, so that the Sooth might
thereby not heve her policy dafraiei and strength
weakeneu by party tit* and local anunooUu*. The
nuion of tha South is tha safety of tbe Union.
Tbe Slavery queeiion being the only one which
now threatens its existence, it ia important that
we steer efearot all subject* ot hatred and diviaion
among onrealves, and that we should present an
undivided front in support of its cenaliiationaf
protection. Wa have eutliciently tried parly ic
lion, asperate Bute aotion, an 1 oven Nations/
Convont one founded on party lines, bat all in
vain. Let ns then rally, SDd unite together read)
for any emergency; he noped none wcu d arise,
yet in tha language of our own great statesman,
th i time might come when alter having “exhauated
the argument, we might have to aland to cur
arms.”
We should call the particular attention of the
friends of this movement, and of our readers gen
erelly, to the attention ot tha meeting on tbo anb
joct of the time of holding the proposed Conven
lion. The ever glorious 4fh of J aly was original
ly suggested as being the moat appropriate day for
the inauguaration or this palriotio moa-urs' f public
pcl'.cy, sod weaboald hava bean pleased if tha aug
gestion obonld have been orri >d oat without del
riment to the oauso it proposed to further, but we
think the views o. friend* in other portions of tho
State were well entitled to the consideration of the
meeting and to tha acquiescence they ro readily re
ceived. The Bth ol August then, instead of the
4 hos July, is indiottel aa the moat appropriate
time for the holding of tbe People’s Convention.
Wo trust therefore that the seleotion of tnat day
will meet with general ooucnrrecoe and that as sal
hoieDt time will thus be allowed for “tnat deliber
ate consideration and general appointment of dele
gates which tho importance of each a movement de
mands,” that ovary county in tho State will et leesi
take tbe sn j ict into calm consideration, and t at
they will in every case cause themselves to be rep
resented in tho importantoonaaeis of tha conven
tiou, that whatever may be done, rosy be well done
in accordance with tbe wishes and will ol the great
body of the people of the State.
Lst bat the people oome together in their prima
ry assemblages—nnem barreled by the eel flab
schemes end doable dealing of unrelenting per
tie ms—end let the public sentiment be fairly ex
pressed and a voice so load, so clear and so dis
tinctly expressive of Southern feeling and of
Southern resolve, will go iourth, as lhatonr ene
miea cannot fail to learn the bounds of Southern
forbearance and the price at whioh we hold onr
oonetitotional rights and our pecaliar institutions.
Let the Union ot the South for the sake of the
constitutional rights of the Booth and the Union,
be the motto of every trae conatitutional friend of
our section and well wisher to the glorious Union
ofour fathers.

prompt and entire manumission of the negrojs of

have entered into auy such ‘bargain’ as alleged ill
just as preposterous and baseless us that othe#
rumor, so long current, that they had sold theuttV
selves and their island to the boulh as a slavi
State. * * * Their proximity to our S cuihera
coast has naturally made their relations with the
South closer than with the North, and excited
more sympathy there than in this part of the
Union. Believing in the professions ol iriondsbif*
made to them, they have indiscreetly perh»p%
yielded the guidauce of their movemeuta to Ame
ricans, aympathiMsrt for pay, and now they fiud
themselves ot-lh jd, aud, as might boss d, beltsyedx

i -übjeotot slavery. Their laws for tho government
of slaves a e far in advance of tnose ol the United
States, and they are ready, when tho power is in
their owu hands to improve aud human z) them
still more—to do auy thing which wisdom sug
gests as promoli ve of the slaves’ interests aud ro
il ired for tho ultimate good of the country. For
meir views on this point we need only isior to the
oration recently delivered in the Cuban Aiho
i aim of New York, and published iu English
by br. Gocuria.
The Bun next proceeds to show how the Jun'a
suffered themselves to be deluded by pretended
agents into a belief that the Administration was
inendly to their illegal schemes, aud even that a
prominent member ot the government “ would
nimself lead an expedition to th'.’ Island, General
Quitman being named ae second in ooiuui«*ud.—
Nor were these assurauocs (continues the Bui )
given without some show of authority,
at least to win the Confidence of the Cubans. The
person who negotiated, or rather talked, about the e
matte’ —for from their nature it wus not deemed
prudent to reduce them to writing—was introduced
to the unfortunate Pinto and other Cubans by one
who, as a representative of the Administration at
Washington, was eutitlod to use a broad anal of
the United Btates. With suoh an introduction the
most unlimited oonfldenoe was reposed in h in ; no
secret remained uuiold.” Tuus, with a degree of
credulity amounting to fatuity, they ditolosed all
t( eir plans, purposes, aud hopes, and the govern
ment, as bound by publ:o duly and national honor,
took all legal mouse to frustrate the plot oou
ooeied within its j insd o iou i gainst the peace and
sovereignty of a friendly nation.
“And now (says the Bun) poor pinto has been
sacrificed, the Qiitmau expedition defeated, aud
the Cubans’ pinus every wnere frustrated. Well
may the betrayed Cubans doularo their haired, aud
resolve to be independent, tot alone of their own
Goveiament de facto, but of their ialee hearted
sympathizers at Washington, and wherever else
tney have found them out. * * * bo strong,
mdeed, is tho lueiing produced among those who
witnessed the ingratiating di<p'ftvs [of ctfijial
courtesies extended to Com. McCann y »*t Havana]
that they will net now talk *1 annexation u» a pos
sible thing.”
We are happy to hear it, aud bope that tho Jun
ta, in tho further prosecution ol their ruvoimioua
ry scheme, about which fer $t we have no mug to
say, will never again make annexation a part of it.
Iheir combined plau of reoolut.on uud aanexi
tion having failed, the Cuban muiooMouia now

An Ihcidxnt or tux Kobopkah War. —The Buf
falo Commercial Advertiser of the 12. h instant
gives tbe following extract from a private letter
from an officer in the Crimea to a citizen of Buf
falo:
A curious thing occurred yesterday. A sapper
waa brought from the trenohes with his j >w bro
ken, end the doctor told me there was u pieoe of
tl sticking out an inch aud a halt from his lace.—
The men said it was done by a round shot, winch
the doctor disbelieved, but the poor lellow insisted
and said,“Yes, and it t ok off the head of the man
next me." Tine was conclusive, aud the surgeon
proceeded to remove the boue ; it osmo ont quite
easy, when the doctor said to the man, whose laue
appeared to preserve its lorm pretty woll, “Can
you move your jaw 1” “O yes, sir,” wasth e reply.
I'ho doctor then pat bis huger into tbe man’s
mouth, and iound the teoth were there, and at
leDglh assured the soldier that it was no jaw of his
that waa broken, bat that of his beadlos. comrade,
whioh had ac’.nally been driven into his face, in
fle ing a severe, but not dangerous wouud. Upon
this, the man’s visage, which had been miner
lengthened, rounded up most beautifully.
Tnx Mammoth (Johan Stxameb.— The now
steamer Leviathan, whion is now being construct
ed in London, promises, when fioiahud, to be Ike
wonder of the age. To grasp the idea of a vessel
measuring more then an eighth of a mile in leugm,
with a opacity of twenty thousand tons and room
enough besides, tor fonr thousand passengers with
all their luggage, certainly requires Btwe rnentai
effort; but to couoeive of Buoh a monster giap
pling with wind and tide, and triumphantly
forcing tie wa/ through the mighty billows ot the
Atlauiio, beoomos a task quite sufficient to slugger
any ordinary intellect, and more tnau sufficient to
exnauat the taiib of the most credulous. If the
Leviathan shall I e able to show u tall list ol pes
seugant for her first visit to our shores, it will
oeriainly appear that the people ot tbia day have
more confidence in art and science than the r an
cestors wt om Fulton attempted to “ Humbug"
with his “ loolieh invention." But science has
achieved eo much sinoe the time ot Fulton, that
any want of faith in the eucoass of this great eu
terpiae, would smatter ot “ oid logyiem," never
theless, in view of the faot that tiie sea hat a wuy
of knocking to pieces sometimes, vuseeis of ail
siaes, and leaving no possible way ol escape lor
humanity, a little hesitation in a matter ot thin
kind is pardonable.
The engines of the Leviathan although aaid to
be ol *,Botl home power, will in reality Da oapable
of being worked up to 10,000 horse power. The
united strength of 10,000 horses would seem to be
power enough to move a email aim globe; snd if
not ■uoh an one ac ours, at '*»*• au aetermd. It ie
confidently predicted that, notwithstanding the
greet length of Ihia aU-.mer, she will be enabled
to paaa through the water at an average speed, in
all weathers, of fifteen knots an hour, aud with a
smaller power in proportion to tonnage than ordi
nary 'easels now require to make ten knots. The
contract speed of most ooeau mail-oarryiug etoarn
ere is eight knots. ▲ ship of this bugs capacity
can carry 12,000 tons ot ooal—quite sufficient, it is
slated, for her consumption on tbe outward and
homeward voyages. She will be lanuohed unlike
any other ship—broadside on the water, by means
ol hydrsulio power, and early m next spring is
eipeoled to make a trip to tbe United Stales aud
buok, in a fort night.— Baltimore American.
Btxamboat Dzbastkji Mollt Gasth Bun k.—Tbe
steamboat Moliy Garih, a favorite boat, couiman

gsrs and a oargo of salt, whisky and rope chiefly.
When within eeven union above Guntersviue
Landing, in passing through a v.ry narrow chan
nel, the boat struck a h'g, close in, striking imme
diately under the boilernaud brtaku gu large ho.e
which caused her to fill instantly, settling in water
aboat 6 feet off the snag. The bow ot the boat
was about a loot out tno w ter, but approaching
the stern, the ourrent flowed over some 2) inches.

that they had escaped a worse in shap.
The cargo was not mach damaged, us mo»t of il

remaining for the Fanny Maioue dueluo next

of the boat, as they were at their post, it being
one of tboee accidents whioh will happen oce«*
