Mb Edit b: If A. Y. Day was as well known
oat. of Augonta as in it, I should not notios * com
mamcßlion in the Constitationaliat, of Thursday,

»;n ation and falsehood " as an egg shall is of
'naa’..* 1 He nays, “ from a statement of one of the
mem Sen*, he connected himaalt with Council No.
Now the faet is, taat he se rched out and
voluntarily and earnestly entreated a member to
tali him hew and where he might bi.com 2 a mem
ber, and declared that ha believed folly in the
principles and objects 01 the organization. He
was initiated, and became quit® a zealous mem
her; declaring that it was just th# thing, and that
the principles were such e? he bad believed in for
a long time. Iu May last, there wa* an election
fjr two City ‘Watchmen, and Mr. Day was a can
didate, and, fortunately for the American party,
was defeated. Tc.s defeat rather staggered his
Americanism, and he said something to two or
three cl the members about withdrawing, but
concluded, as another vacancy had occurred, that
he would try hia fortune again, and if not elected
he would mofet assuredly withdraw. He was de
feated the eeevod lime, and from that time has
oeen an altered mao. He had, as waa evident,
j hoed the party forte purpos* of being Watch
mao, but had been eadiy d*.c iced in hie aims and
otjtcts, aud not in the true uime and objects (J the
party. I thick he was defeated the second time
iu June, and has therefore had abandant time to
withdraw, as Council No. 14 J, has met ouoe a wees
daring the whole period irom that time to the
present. But instead of acting like an honest
upright American and witndrawing honorably,
ho baa remained a member for near three months;
has villifl .d and abused the party of which he was
-till a member, and had apokeu of things publicly
which he was bound in honor to keep secret; and
has if. fact been a spy and a tool in the hands of
one of our city officials. Ho was rej orted by a
brother some three weeks ago—the charge was
a want of integrity and violated faith—and the
evidence was so trou<that he was expelled with
out a single done citing voice. As is customary his
name was “ read out” in the other Councils of this
city, and he was notified by a rother of the action
of the Council.
Mr. Day has formerly been a Democrat, but has
on several occasions been induced (aaltmcredi
b ! y informed) to vole the Whig ticket, by being
placed as a substitute on the watch list. The
whole matter in a nut shell is, Mr. Day joined the
Order for the purpose of becoming a City Watch
man, having failed in this his American princi
ples have oosed out at his fingers ends, and he
“like the sow to her wallow” and “ the dog to bi»
vomit, 1 ’ has returned to the foreign, “ dry rot”
party, and 1 trust it they have any small crumbs
of spoils to bestow, that they will reward him.
In justice to Mr. Day, I will state that he did con
tribute the enormous sum of fae miy Jive (2b) cents
to sustain the treasury while a member. 1 have
“no’hing extenuated or set down anght in
malice.” For all the Bets stated can be sub
»tantinted by a number of credible witnesses. I
therefore submit the action of the Council to the
judgment of an impartial public.
A Mxiibbb or Council No. 140.
For the Chronicle dt Sentinel,
To the People of Elbert County.
Will my old Whig friends in E bert, allow me
to address them a word in regard to the present
canvass f 1 reside in a distant part of the Btate,
but wherever 1 go, and under whatsoever circum
stances 1 am placed, my heart still turns to the old
county where I was born, and around which still
cling my warmest affections. I have ever looked
to her as a kind of Noilh Btar, by which to steer
my own course. When parties have been broken
up and scattered iu other portions of the country,
and when politicians have sought to lead the peo
ple astray, it seemed to cause no disturbance to
her. There she stood ; alwtyion the right side;
always voting for the right men; always maintain
ing right principles—a beacon light to which her
sons all over the land were accustomed to look for
guidance and protection.
Elbert was ever the banner county of the old
Whig party. She always stood up for conserve-
tivo principles, tnd ever refused to follow after
strarge gods. She promised in 1844, to roll up
t>r the gallant Cay 1000 votes; she gave 989, and
would have redeemed her pledge had not the wri
ter of this bee . called to Oglethorpe county, where
he votod. Bhe stood by the Union in 1850. She
oast an overwhelming mej >rity for that incorrup
tible patriot, Charles J. Jenkins, in 1858. She
has always bion a unit, and always at the right
p ace at the right time.
Has anything occurred, Whigs of Elbert, to
rack i you change your ground I Has Gov. John
son done anything Bince 1858 to render him less
okj-otion blef He was a Democrat then—he is a
Democrat now. Ho was o-posed to the Whigs
then —hois opposed to the Whigs now. He was a
« ceetvmut [then—be is a eeetttimut now. Honest
Democrats all over the State are aoandouing him.
Why then should old Whigsgoto hia support !
Has he not denounced you and your principles,
from overy stomp in Geoagia f Did he not defeat
your favorite, Ur. Jeukins, by tbe most unfair
means! Did he not in 1844, at Millstone, in Ogle
thorpe counU, acouso Mr. t.lay of abolitionism!
Did he not spit upon toe Georgia Platform of
1850, and express his contempt tor the “whole
pack’’ of the Union party 1 Has he ever done one
act or uttered one word in favar of your principles I
Has he uot rather availed himself of every oppor
tunity for the last fltleeu years, to vilify Whigs
and Union men i
But you are told that you must support Gov.
Johnson in order to support tbe National Demo
crats at the Norlh. Th.s ie the only pretence that
is Bet up, and a miserable weak one it is. Why,
it w is only a few months since, .hat Gov. Johnson
and every Democratic paper in Georgia joined tbe
Administration in deuouncirg such National
Democrats as Dickinson and Branson. Governor
J .husou still clings to the Administration ; and
the Administration still wsges war upon theta
n en. There is not a single prominent National
Democrat in the Btate of Now York who is not
opposed to the Administration. On the other
baud, tho Frcesoil wing of the party, which as
sembled in Convention last week at Syracuse, en
dorsed the Administration. The election of Gov.
Johnson, therefore, if it exert any influence upon
parties at the Norlh, will help the Administration
Preesoileis, aud not the National Democracy.
You aro pointed, however, to the horrid oaths,
and grips, But it so happens that the old
oaths were abolished by the National Council at
Philadelphia, and if t ey hare been administered
siuce, it an for a want of inlormation. In fact, it
is no longer au ordtr ; it is now a party, like any
o her party, end a man may act with it without
going into a Council, jus* as ba may with any other
patty.
Bat there is Mr. Stephens: Wbit is to be done
with him! For one, if I were residing in the
Ei<hth Dis rict, much as I admire his talent’, I
should not support him ; but you may feel diflo
tently. His distinguished ability and great Ber
ieos, may entitle him, in your opinion, to your
further support. Assuredly, however, it is not
neee-sary to vote for Gov. Johnson iu order to
support Mr. Stephens. If you feel inclined to give
nim another trial, this need not prevent you from
sustaining Judge Andrews. 1 cannot believe you
are ready to f llow Mr. Stephens into the Demo
cratic party. Thie you will do, if you vote for
Johnson ; f.r he is the nominee of the Democratic
party, aud tuns as a Democrat.
ItcaDnol be disguised, that Mr. Stephens has
sepaiated from the gnat «ng mty of his old friends,
oiueteeu twentieths oft tern are either members of
the Amsrioan Party, or ore sympathisers with it,
and will vote forjudge Andrews. Berrien, Jenkins,
Daw on, Crawford, Bartow, Miller, Nisbet, Poe,
Poster, Tripps, Wm. Dongherty, Hull, Holt, and
others, 1 am assured, will ail oust their suffrages
for Andrews. Mr. Stephens stands almost alone,
so far as regards his former associates. You are
to choose, then, between him aud the great body
ot your old polit cal friends.
Many of you remember tbe defection of Colquitt,
Cooper aud Black in 1840. They were old Whigs,
out quit the party, taking with them a few follow
ers, and voted for Van Boren in preference to
Gen. Harrison. They had the audac.ty to claim
bat they stood still, and that tbe Whig party left
hem ! John Tyter did the same thing. These
tre historical facts, and should not be forgotten in
be preeo it canvass. Mr. Stephens is only a man
as or all. He has, tbrongout his whole life, de
nounced Democrats and Democratic measures ;
now he has not one word to say against either.
Indeed, the effect of his position inures solely to
the beneflt ot the Democracy, and operates only
aga ust hia old associates.
Pause, then, people of Elbert, do not commit
vonrselvea to a line of policy that will divide yocr
trangih and bind you to vole for Donglasa or some
other restless d magngue for President. Your
choice is Mr. F.iimore ; Mr. Stephens, ho‘ ever,
is opposed to Mr. Fillmore. I/you vote for John
son, you out yonrse ves off from Mr. Fd more. Are
vou teady lo do that! The American party, lam
aware, is composed of Wh-gs and Demnsrats,
Union men an l Southern K guts men, and cannot
baoslled theWbig party nor he Democratic party ;
at tt i» conservative in its tendencies. It seeks
to defend the Cuiou and preserve the rights of the
States, and at tbe same time to protect tbe ba
lot box and reform tbe Administration of the
Government. These are your principles, too.
Wiy ihen not support Andrews. If you triil
sretain Mr. Stephens, wny, do it; but do not let
ti*t keep you from voting for Andrews. Too
know be is one of tbe best end safest men in Geor
g.a. Aw Old lupt Ware.

Ms. Ewtos:—Hi. fSxoell.Doy Oov. Johnson
w.s here on yesterday end addressed rather a
if limited astsembiefre. ior more then three heurt.
e The Governor eot oat by alluding, (as he no doubt
1. thonghi) particularly to his ecbool-boy days spent
i in this oommumty. He then took up, as he said,
. the only two complaints that had been made
against him, vi*: the Cowart and Cooper scrapes.
e His answer to the Cooper case consisted in s round
t denial of the charge. He then stated Ihst those
wco were not satisfied with Coopei’a explanation
could cot be convinced. That no man who kuew
. Cooper would believe the charge. And farther,
that many men would not vote for him if ho was
to explain it to their full satisfaction. That such
men hsd do right to an explanation 1 Stars end
garters 111 1 thought public servants wore re
sponsible to the whole people for the faithful dis
charge of their duty, and not simply to those who
voted for them. In the Cowart case he Baid that
the law authorised him to employ a lawyer in each
special case that might come up for or against tue
Slat* R ad, and fee him tor hia services. That
•a west he .sll-d employing counsel by the
retail. Bat that in the Cowart case ne had em
ployed counsel by the wholesale, at a great saving
to the tjfate. He did not even protend that there
was any law on the statnte-books authoriri Jg him
to appoint on Atlonuy at a tala’y of heo ih'-nuani
dol’art a year. And wi h these remarks, the
Governor dropped these two charges liko a ooy
would a hot potatoe, thiDking no doubt that the
least said would be the soonest mended.
The Governor seemed to felicitate himself that
only these two pitiful littU charges had been made
against him, and they both false. If that was all,
he said, he must have made a pretty good Gover
nor. He had enquired, since his arrival in town,
what slanders were out against him ; and tnis was
all. Enough we thought for any oie man to
nhoulder. If hia explanation latisfl. d one man, I
nave not beard of it. But are there no other
charges 1 I hsve heard at least two other com
plaints. One is, that the Governor is disgracing
the Bute by leaving tba Executive Office, and
stumping the State. This humiliating practice ought,
without luriber delay, to be signally rebuked by
the people of Georgia. The other complaint is of
more recent origin. It is his respite of the mur
derer Boyd, to the Bitting of the next Legislature.
It is not pretended, as I know of, that the convict
did not hsve s fair trial, or that there ia theabadow
of a doubt as to his guilt. It is said that the con
vict is indebted to the undying love of his Mother
for this aot o. mercy. Is there a mother in Geor
gia that would not make tr.» same application, let
the offanci of their child be what it might! At
all events, is the lov > of mothers the rul* of law,
by which the Governor is to measure his mercy !
The case of thia convict is an important one. He
has been .ouud guilty of the murder of au officer
of tae law in the discharge of his dnty. He was
fairly tried, and duly convicted. His case was
sifted by the Supreme Court of the Slate, and no
error found. How much will it cost the State to
have the matter determined by her Legislature!
Tskingthe Bird case ot the last session as a crite
rion, it will not fall far ahort of seven thousand
dollars 1
But we will pass to other the speech.
He made a general arraignment of the American
Party, and if it is guilty ot half the charge, that ha
brought against it, an executioner ought I o be ap
pointed forthwith. I will refer to only one as sn
example of bis Gath, fairness and candor in deal
ing with hie. opponents. He said that Georgia
ought .to be united as ok. people on the Blavery
question, and on the Kansas question. That the
people were all the same in sentiment. That wa
ought to present one undivided front to our North
ern foes. That tuere should have been no divi
etone among us au these other questions. Tbst
they ought to have teen continued for future adju
dication aud trial. But that the American Party
would not so have it. That they (the American
Party,) and they only are responsible for the divi
sions now in Georgia. How Btands this reckless
declaration in the face of the history of the past
five or six months. Let facta speak, and mark
how plain a tale will put him down.
On the 26th of May last, the people of Colum
bus, without distinction of party, convened at
Temperance Hall, and passed among others the
following resolution :
“ dissolved, B d. That in the opinion of this meet
ing, the time baa arrived when our fellow-citizens
snouid cess. Iron their dissentionß, and forget
the differences which have separated them; and
that a oommon danger and common enemy should
unite us for our oommon defence and Bafety.”
The meetirg further proposed that the people of
each county in the State, without distinction of
party or birth-place, should hold meetings and
send Delegates to the seat of Government to
nominate a candidate for Governor, who should
oe the osndidate of the people, and not of a Party;
and to form and pnblißh a basis of action, upon
which we might all Btand, and all co-operate. Iu
pursuance of these patriotic views Mr j >r Howard
of Columbus, a distinguished Dsmocrut, addressed |
to Governor Johnson on the Ist of Juno last, in ,
which he urgtd upon him the policy of the “Tem- ,
peranoe Hall movement” in a strong and over
whelming argument which can never be answered.
That was the propitious moment for His Excellen
cy to have shown true patriotism, and that devo
tion to Southern Union which he now professes
and cants so loud about. But how did bo set.
Let his reply to Major Howard on the 11th of Jone
answer the question. In lhat letter the Governor
says:
“My nomination and acosptancs of the candida
cy for the offl;e of GoverDor, by the late Demo
cratic Convention, apprise you more forcibly than
I coul i express in words, ot my utter and entire
diesent from the line of policy which you urge.”
( she italics are mine.)
But h er him again, ridiculing the very idea of
being “one people and one party.” In this same
letter he says:
“The Columbus movement, salt is called, is put
forward under 'he spao ous suggestion for us to be
•one people and one party.’ Tbis indeed sounds
besotimlly. It smacks of a political milleninm.
Bat, however desirable, we cannot be 'one people
and one party’ until we shall all t ink alike.”
Jerusalem, what a discovery ! Ah, Governor—
something more than to “think alike” is necessary,
in order to nDite us. The allurements of nomina
tions by Democratic Conventions must be thrown
in the back ground. It requires s sacrifice of
personal ambition npon the alter of patriotism. .
Upon you and “the Isle Democratic Convention,”
I put the responsibility of our present divisions in (
Georgia. I hurl the imputation back inyourfsce.
The American party is not responsible for that
siu at all events. They were generally willing to
have gone into the “Columbus movement;” but
yin and your organization spurned the Olive leaf.
W hat a spectacle does the Governor p resent to the
people ot Georgia. In Jane last he and his party ,
burlesqued the idea of union, when the American |
party was willing to go into it. In September he g
deprecates our divisions and charges iheir exist
ence to the American party. Oh shame, where is
thy blush I
The humiliating character of the task must ex- '
cose me from s lurther exposure of the Gjvemor’s
Inconsistencies. i

Mr. SMiikeM-Cmrcli Members.
Mb. Errroßi Wbat is the matter with the Hon.
A. H. Stephens ? W by does be act bo different
from his farmer conduct! Is it poesibie that his
now political rela ions have caused such & change in
him f Does democracy metamorphose every thing
it touches? Doos a man’s whole nature change
whm he quite his old friende and joins bis former
enemies ? Mr. Stephens was once, as 1 thought,
an open, fr&n-t and candid man. He was willing
to aamit, that others were honest as well as him
self; and could tolerate one who disagreed with
him in opinion. Bat how changed he cow appears
to me. He denounces and condemns his old
friends, and cannot suffer aDy one to Bay that he
had made a mu* *ke, without his chargit g him in
the newspapers with improper motives—or atleast
maifiiutißg it. Why is this ? Has he defended
toe Catholics until he has become vain enough to
believe that he, like the Hope—the great head of
tne party he is sustaining—is infallible t Does he
think that he aicne is honest, and that * * wisdom
w.li die with him V *
A few days since, I ventured to state that Mr.
Stephens had made a “misHka” in a speech in
Jefferson county, in saying that there was only
about 600,0.0 Catholics in the United States. I
was told that he made this statement, and so wrote
yon, ai d Mr. Stephens seizes upon this as some
thing offensive to him, and intimates that I had
desired to charge him with inaccuracy, but had
not the courage to do it.
Again he says, towards the omclu&ion of his
“ notice” of me. 44 It was my intention to impose
upon no one. But what will the pub.ie, who have
not these official documents to refer to think of
the statement of ‘Polk, 1 when they are informed
that his table is not taken from the 4 census* proper
at all.”
“But he extracts from a note mvie in the of
1* /A° C # P f 3e i. at J by Mr- rtferina to a state
tnent that he had seen in some Almanac
Again, he refers to the Compendium of the Cen
sus, (pages 186 and 187.) and says:
*‘F r om which it will be seen, that the estimated
number of Catholios ia put down at 675 721—the
number of the Methodist a* 4 354,1<»1_ the nom
ber of Baptists at 8 248,580—the number of Pres
byterians at 2,072,504 —these estima'ee I stated
were founded upon the extent of Church accom
modation.”
Mr. Stephens wi ’l pardon me for saying that
here is not one, but several 44 great mistaken.”
He has indirectly charged me with an 14 intention
to impose upon” the pubi c. This is his first mis
take. He seys that my statement was not 4 ‘ taken
from the ‘census* proper at all.** I defy Mr.
Stephens to show any other table, giving the num
ber of numbers of the different denominations of
Christians in the United States, in the Corape
diam of statistics. He cannot do it. The table
from which I copied, is the only table in the bole,
showing the number of members of the several
denominations. This book was published by a
reso uticn of the Houbo of Representatives, of
which Mr. Stephens was a member, and if it is
not correct, why has not Mr. Stephens, before
this, exposed its errors? Why allow it to be paid
for if it was not correct? Mr. Stephens loves
truth and hates error; but why has he not guard
ed this important work a id secured it from mis
statements ?
Why does Mr. Stephens state that I copied from
a note made by 44 Mr. Deßow, rferring to a state
ment that he has seen in s<>■me Almanac. 11 Would
it not have been quite as conclusive to truth and
a proper understanding of the subject, to have
stated th e facts as they exist, as to have said 4 * a
statement he had seen in some Almanac.” Mr.
Deßow did not make this statement. Mr.
Stephens says he did not intend to impote on any
one I If he did not, why did be not state the facts
as they are in the hook ? Mr. Deßow did not say
he had seen a statement in 44 some Almanao.”
Nothing like it. Here is what he did state: 4 ‘ A
statement taken from the Baptist Almanac of 1850,
with corrections for Cumberland Presbyterians,
gives the following for all denomina ions.” Then
follows the table, giving the number of Ihe mem
bers of the different Churches. This table was
corrected by Mr. Deßow, and inserted to show the
number of numbers— and I have no doubt that
this table was made up for the Baptist Almanac,
from the records of the several denominations.
If it were wrong, would not its error® have been
exposed by some one ?
Again : Mr. Stephens makes a “great mistake”
in hie statement as to the number of Catholics,
<fec. He speaks of the “estimat'd number of Cath
olics.*'’ Where does he get this 44 estimated num
ber ?" There is no such thing in the bock. And
the table from which Mr. Stephens gets his figures
have no more reference to the number of church
members t than to the man in the moon. Mr. De
Bow says, on page 182, “It will be observed that
they do not undertake, bs they are often quoted,
(just what Mr. Stephens has done,) tj give the
number of members of ea h religous
or even the nnmber of ac’ual attendant a upon
churches ; but simplgthe capacity of the churches to
accomodate .” Ho then goes on and sets forth in
tables, the “number of Churches in the United
States,” and “the total value of church property,”
and then gives a table showing the numb3r of per
sons that all the churches or houses of worship
have capacity to accommodate. For illustration,
he shows that all the Methodist Churches, that is,
houses for worshipping in, have capacity to ac
commodate, at one sitting, 4,854,101 persons.—
This is the table that Mr. Stephens quotes from,
aud says the I ‘estimated number of the Methodist
is 4 854,101.** Was there ever a greater “mis
take f” This is making nearly one fifth of the
whole population of the United States , of every age
and color , members of the Methodist Church I This
will be news to the Methodists. But Mr. Stephens
nays that his 44 estimated numbers ” were founded
upon the extent of church accommodation.” Ah,
indeed. And did you ever see a Methodist house
of worship that would tot hold more persons than
the members at that place ? If so, do tell us where
it is located. It will be ref eshing to hear of such
a society as that, and I will cont ibute, if necessa
ry, to aid in enlarging the house, or in building a
new one. How is it in Crawfordsville and Augus
ta f Will not the meeting houses hold four or five
times as many persons as there ohurch members '(
Yet Mr. Stephens makes out as many church mem
bsrs as the houses will hold at one sitting. But
he cannot tolerate the idea that be made a “mis
take.” If it is fair thus to ascertain the number of
church members for one church, of course it is for
all, aud the table from which Mr. Stephens quotes,
as he represents it, give as the nnmber of al the
churches, 14 270 189, mak ng over one half ff the
entire population in the United States church mem
bers. Is there any one in bis senses that believes
thief Yet Mr. Stephens* letter is calculated to
make the impression that he quoted from a tab e
giving the “census proper” of all the church mem
bers in the United States. If this is not a “great
mistake,” it is certainly a “little inexact.” ly
turning to page 182, of the book from which Mr.
Stephens quotes, you will find the following state
ment :
•‘There ere 88,188 buildings retu-ed as need for
purposes of religions worship in the United S ates
in 1850, belonging to denominations having ac
commodations frr 14 270 189 persons.” Does this
word “persons” mean Church numbers t If not
Ur. Stephen’s figures do not show the num er of
members. Indeed, Ur. Eiitor, there is not one
word in the table from which Ur. Stephens quotes
about the number of Church members.
But Ur. Stephens says that his estimates and
statements “ rested upon the assumption that
each denomination had Church accommodation for
at least all its members.” W hat right had you,
Ur. Stephens, to make any such “ assumption,”
when the book from which you quoted, Btated dif
ferently ! YjU are, {or ought to havebeen,) giving
facte to the people, and why not stick to the record ?
Onpagelß7, oneto which you referred, Ur.Deßow
says : ‘‘The Catholics occupy the fourth place,
though in point of fact, they have no doubt more
ac cal worshippers than they can accommodate at
one sitting in their Churches.” And on the next
page he gives as their number 1,178,700.
Now, Ur. Editor, whether Ur. Stephens intend
ad to impose on the people or not, Ido not say,
bnt I th’Dk I have shown conclusively that he has
made eeveral “ great mistakes.”
And while Ur. Stephens is doing more for the
election of Johnson than any ten men in the State,
will he oblige me by giving his opinion in his
next letter of the Johnson and Cooper “ arrange
ment." 1 know he loves honesty, but 1 want to
know his opinion of this matter. 1 wish to know
also, what he thinks of the legality of Cowart’s
appointment, as Attorney or Commissioner of the
Western and A’lan tic Bailroad. Come, Ur. Ste
phene, let foreiguera and Catholics alone for a little
while,and talk to the people some about these mat
ters. Uay be you can aid the Savannah Georgian
in finding that lau>. While you are fightirg for
Democracy go the whole figure. Pons.

* Cj awt bdbtille, Ga., Sept. 8, 1855.
At a meeting of the American party held at their
Council Boom ibis day* Maj. John Hammaok in
the Chair, the following Preamble and Resolution
were adopted:
Whereas, Since tie American party is fully es
unlisted,! and its ety'eete, aims, and principles
have beef published to ibo world, there exists
no in nif judgment,* no further need for the use
of secrecy,“pats woros, grips, signs of recognition
or ob'igatiocs; therefore, to make cur. .Ives fu.ly
understood, *“ -
Reso'vzd, That in oat future work vre will did
pense with them. *
Rescind That whatever, may be our objections
to parts of the Philadelphia and Mecon Platforms
of the American yet is a whole, we adopt
them as the best catalogue of political pricc’ples
ever put forth by any party since the organization
of the goverLm°n% and .that W 8 will maintain
them in ajru o ' Amer can spirit.
Resolved, That we have full confidence in the
ability, |sb!itica! honesty and patriotism of the
Hon. Garnett Andrews, and that we will give him
our cerdld support for Governor,
Resolved, That we recognise Lafayette Lamar, of
Lioooln, ae a true representative of the principles
of the American party, and do hereby pledge him
our cordial support. «
To the adoption of, this resolution Messrs, B. F.
Roberts and J. I). H*mmaek dissented—Mr. H.
stating tfiat lrorn personal- feelings towards Mr.
Stephens, he shoal i give him his support.
Resolved, That th' letters of Mark A. Cooper
show that he demanded some ch nve in the pne?
<*t freight on the Stale Road, in hie favor; that this
ehauge baying been delayed, he resolved to “go
against” Johnson and “strike for justice ;** that
the change was afterwards’ made, and Cooper re
solved to stand to and support Johnson. We
therefore conclude, that Cooper’s influence and
support has been purchased by H. V. Johnson.
Resolved , That whoever c urges the American
party of Georgia, of affixation With the Abolition
Koow Nothings of the North, most admit upon a
fair examination of their Platforms, either that be
is ar d has* been ignorant of focts, or that he has
deliberately misrepresented the party.
R solved, That iho American party proscribes
persons of any and all religions, only, who are
bound by oivd or ecclesiastical allegiance to some
foreign power. *
Resoloed, That every citizen of Georgia who is in
favor of the principles of the Philadelphia and M*
con Platforms, and is opposed to the untoward ad
ministration of, H V. Joflnson, and the corrup*
administration of Frank. Pierce, is a member of
the American party. *
Resolved, Th-t while we agree fully with our
rrethren of Greene eonuty in naming John J.
Crittenden tor the next President, in the self otiou
of a Vico President we cannot well overlook the
many distinguished statesmen of Georgia.

tion he'd in Augusta ou the sth inst., have nomi
nated Lafaykite 1 amar, E-q., a cand : date for
Congress in the Bth Congressional District, in op
position to the Hon. A. H. Stephens, which nomi
nation they do hereby most emphatically repudiate
as unwise and unpatriotic:
Be it resolved , That they have not been impelled
io this course by any want of re?pect for the nomi
nee, but having ever believed that the crisis de
mnnded that the Hon. A. H. 8 ephens should bo
return d to his post in Congress, they choose the
part of patriotism, rather than that of partisans.
Resolved farther , That the members of tin
American party, contrary »o the oil-repeated mis
represen tat.ons of the publio prints and public
si-eak jrs, h 1 ve never surrendered the right of ex
ereising suffrage according to the dictation of their
conscience and their belief of the public good.
On motion, the foiegoiug was ordered to be

of “Calhoun,” published in the Constitutionalistdk

The Texas papers brt tight by the steamship
Charles Morgan, which arrived last n ght from In
dianol* and Galveston, furnish the following intel
iigence:
The Austin State Times, of tho 25th ult.., says :
The company of Bangers has betn divided into
three detuchmouts, one is stationed on Crab Apj.lo
creek, one on the Medina and one on Cypress
creek. Trey will dcuhtiasa d > good service.
The Lipan ludians are ejcimped on the other
side ot the Bio Grande, within live or six miles <f
Laredo. They cross over and commit depreda
lions on this side aud di fy pursuit and punish
ment by taking refuge on jtioxican territory.
Col. Biddell, but lately returned 'rom Mexico,
says the Li puns steal hotees from Unittd Sates
citizens and bring down to the river to water
and bathe them in full viow cf tho owners and
they cannot help themselves, as it isontrary to
the treaty to cross over and chastise the thieves.
This state of thiDgs should uot be allowed to exist.
If the Government ol Mexo will not restra n
these Indians our own Government should take
steps to do so. In the event it tails the people of
Texas will be compelled to take the matter into
their own hands. They can and will cross over
and break np this den of marauders.
The Austin State Gazette, of the same date
says:
Our crops are looking very fine. We shall make
plenty of cotton and corn. Becent rains will have
a good effect upon prairies. Everything is encour
aging.
Wo have just hea d from lort Belknap bv a
gentleman who reached Austin on the 22d
inst. Everything is reported as peaceful.
Thelndiuns on the reserve were faithfully laboring
in the fields, and behaving themselves well.
Some thiefie had been committed of a petty char
acter by the Nort e n Comanches who have not
yet come in. Mijor Stein, at the head of six
companies ot dragoons, will leave tor Hew Mexioo
about the Ist ot September. He is in fine spirits
aud anxious tor the trip. The onl/ delay which
can possibly occur will bo owing to the late bad
prospect for water. The rains which have s.nce
fell will be of great service.
Wo learn from tho Sau Antonio Logger that
Lieut. BiDdull recently fdi upon a party of In
aians near Fort Davis, killed ten of tho number
f rood two over a precipice sixty feet high
and took one child prisoner. O ly two out ot fif
teen Indians esc-ped. The correspondent of tho
Ledger says:
The guide killed the chief, and Lieut. Randall
ecalpedhiin. E ght horses wore captured. About
half of the party were women, bui dressed as men,
and their sox was not known until at er the killing.
The San ADtonio Sentinel, of the 25th, says:
We have had copious raius during the past
week. Since we huve been in Texas we have not
known so wet a spell at this season of the year.
We learned that a few days since a friendly In
dian of tho Toukaway tribe, came into tho towu of
Fredericksburg in a starving condition, threw
away bis bow and arrows, and entreated the in
habitants to give him something to eat. But in
stead ot doing so the Germans se ; zrd upon him,
beat him in the moet brutal manner, and then tied
him to a stake and burnt him to death.
The Austin State Gugeite says the ludian is re
ported o be one ol a party who last year murdered
an Ain er can and a Gem an.
The San Amonio Fexaa, of tho 23d ult., says :
By a correspondent dated Eagle Bass August. 15,
we have received information to the effect ’hat the
Lipans of late, hove beeu selling printed goods,
t-hawls, &e , to the Mex cans west of the Bio
Grande, aud when .que tuned as to where they
obtained these articles, they replied that they
procured them from the Comanches, with whom
they lately had a rencontre, and succeeded in over
powering then, and thus came in possession of a
arge quantity of goods. Th re ia but little doubt
but these goods were the property ot some Amen
Cun or Mexican merchant, and these Indians have
killed the carriers who wore taking them to Mexico.
From the same source, we learu that Vidann has
given orders to make piisoueis of all the Lipans
dow in Mexico.
The Tex n learns from a f'iend who has ro
ceived a private letter tro-n Col. Langbjrg dated
Piedras Negras, Aagus’ 14, that the revolutionists
are Succeeding in 1 orthern Mexico, and that a
custom-houso has already been opened opposite
Eagle Pass, and the intention is tog*ve all passible
facilities to trade between the two countries, which
haa so long been cut eff, to the great disadvantage
of both.
The mai’ rider on the Laredo *oute arrived in
Corpus Christi on the 19 b mt., and reported that
he had been chased by Indians.
The Corpus Cbriati Valley and Advertiser says
that a Central America j Emigration Company is

The Fombabdment of Sweaboro.— The London

That we have bnrnt everything combus’i
ble on the group ofisDn- sbetorethe roadstead of
Heiaicgfors, including *r?©uai, magazines, stores,
workshops, and the dwelling houses of the artifi

in the Ra-sian account ot tne affair. Bat it is by
no means clear, from even our own account, that we
have silenced the batteries or done them any dam

It is evident wecculd produce little impres-ion on

was made toeuter the roads, to capture or destroy
any ve.-sels that might _be found within, or to

Havana, Sept. 2, 1355.—The schooner Heyward
leaves at a very early hour this morning. I have
but time to inform you of a iamen’able occurrence
that took place the evening before last. George
Canning Backhouse, her Britam-ic Majesty*© Com
missary Judge of the Mixed Commission for the
suppression of the trade, was sitting down
to taole about 7 o’clock P* M-* with a Mr. Dairym
p'e, the British translator or interpreter of the
Commission, when four negrow enter ed the room
for the purpose of plundering it. They proceeded
to bind the two gentlemen—Mr. D*lrymple quie ly
submitting thereto, but Mr. Backhouse resisting,
was stabbed in the side, and died of his wound in
the course of tfce night.
Two ot the negro© were arrested before they es
caped fn m the premises, and it is hoped the other
two will be n*ken. Mr Bock bouse was buried last
ovenning—a very large number of the most res
peciabie inhabitants of th»s c y and of hw country
men resident here followitg nis remains to the
general cemetery.
The N. Y. Mtrror says:
“We stated some weeks ago that Santa Anna had
purchased real estate—op houses and lots—
in tne city, wi han eye to a future res dence among
us. It is now st .ted by more than one person ‘-un
der the Government,” that the Ex Dictator is at
present in tne v ciniiy of New York, and that he
has made overtures for the purchase of Mr. Edwin
horreat’s man-ion, ktown as Foot Hill, near Yon
kers, and that Mr. F. has named the price of the
place at $120,0X3 — tatiDg that if H.fc. H. the Gen

be made a bargain. It is also said that bis serene
ex Highness has for some months past been nego
tiating stocks through a Wall street agent. Let

trade of Snanghae proceeds without interruption,
and Canton was rapidly recovering i s cotnmer

papers conurm tho information contained in the
extract we gave yesterday from the advicos re
ceived at the Methodist Mission Booms in thi.- city.
There had bee a on an average more ’ huu t* o
hundred persons executed in Canton dully for the
fortnight previous to the 16:h of June, and the
prisons wore not then cleared. Tho two lead >ro
who took the city of Shun teh in August one y iar
ago were cut in pieces on tho Ist of Juno. Many
coats had reached Canton from Kwang si, but
whether they were directly from that province is
doubtful, for prisoners were brought in them. The
carcasses left on tbei Xicatiou ground were thrown
into large pits excavated in the Eastern part of the
city.
Trade in Canton. —ln Canton, many signs of
returning prospen y and trade are seen. A large
numb er of the she pa along tho walls, taken down
last August, have been reconstructed o bourds
and mat, but none cf them huve yet been rebuilt of
brick. The people have only a permission to oc
cupy this si ace, not a esa! right. The Government
can enter on posse-sic not any co it may require
for public uses. Thespaca burned over on the
24tn January near T ping gate, comorising sixty
or stventy shops, is cleared away, and much of it
rebuilt. Toe gutea of the oily are aot all reopeued,
but the guards u’ ihe s reet gates are reduced, and
the gatos themselves left open till about 9 P. M.

‘•The Young America i leared out of Woosung

Ihe Trade cf c-i^gapore.— The trade m this city

circumstances where there is no re son to suspect, as iti
cause, any disturbance of the digestive organs, from the
oad quality or undue quantity ot the food. The parox

These produce oostiveness, and other evils, which render
the remedy worse than tbe disease. . rtri
Immediate relief in all cases, whether depending on
