C ommerce of Nevr-Orlca«a.
The New-Orleans Price-Current, of September
1, publishes an interesting review of the business of
the past twelve months in that city. It congratu
lutes its planting and commercial friends on the
phnonzcontrast the present season presents w:th
that immediately preceding it, when the European
war and the extraordinary drought senously inter
fered with business prosperity. The extent of tne
season’s oprsmtiona and the magnitude of the trade,
are partially indicated by the value of the products
from the Interior, which amount, according to the
annual valuation table, to $144,256,081, against
sl]/,Bi6.Hg3ks4 year, and $45,7)6,045 in 1841-42,
ami tbi? in spite of the fact that the last Sugar crop
wa* more than 200,000 hogsheads short of the mail
man product of 1853. According to the Custom
House records, the total value of exports of Produce
and Merchandize, of the growth and manufactu e
of the United States, for the fiscal year euded June
30th, was $110,353,436, against $83,120,218 last
year; showing an increase of $27,233,218, or over
30 per cert. The value of Foreign Merchandize
and Specie imported in lire same period wa-» $17,-
183,327, against $ 1 last year; showing an
inert ase of $5,250,710, or about 37£ V cent.
There is no record of the value of the hundreds of
cargoes of domestic and foreign merchandize and
produce imported coastwise, but it is supposed the
value of property, including produce, merchandize,
arc vessels that has passed the mouth of tire Missis
sippi, inward and outward, during the past year,
exceeds two hundred and fifty nbillions of dollars.
Tl.<-operations of the Branch Mint during the
past year, show a further slight decrease in the De
posill*. but an increase in the Coinage. The total
deposit* of Gold and Silver, for the year ending
31 hi July, were $2,720,032, again-t $2,938,200 the
| year previous ; showing a decrease of $218,238. Tne
i-oinage during the same time has been, of Gold G<
35d pieces, of the value of $525,500, and of Silver
| 5,361,000 pieces, of the value of $2,936,000. Total
i value $3,161 ~000, or an increase of $ 1,255,240.
I With respect to the market prospects of the com
j ing crops, th-.-e of Wheat and Indian Corn are
j known to be unusually abuudant, and Cotton thus
f.r fair promise, but the Sugar production
I must inevitably fall to a very low figure, while that
of Tobacco will be materially less than the crop of
j last year.
i The rev iew of the business of the past year is full
, o. interest, and we make copious extracts, as welj
I to show the immense produce trade of that city as
; the fluctuations of the market,
j Coi i on. —The in&rket opened unusually early
upon the new erop ; tne receipts being greatly in ad
vanc*-of any previous season, and thus there was
afforded Hf-ope for operations at an unusually early
j>- The iii>t receipt of new crop wan on the
j 26tl* July,from Mississippi, and up to the Ist Sep
tember there had been received 213.282 bales of the
| new crop; being an amount nearly three times
I greater limn had come to market in the same period
j in any previous year, and exceeding the receips to
! the same time in th*; big-crop year of 1852-53 in the
i amount of 18,205 bales. The year opened with a
1 good enquiry ai a range of 84 to cents for Low
| Middling to Middling, and soon the demand be
* ame unusually active, resulting in sales during the
month of 96,000 bales against receipts of 124,000 bales;
being much the largest business ever done in the
month of September. The bulk of the business
was done at a range of 85 to 9Jc for Low Middling
to Middling.
Owing to unfavorable news from Europe, prices
gave way early in October, and fluctuated during
t L«- month between * $ a 8 and 8g a 9$ cents for Low
H idling, with reported sales of 151,-
600 bale*. The foreign advices continuing unfavor-
I able the market about the inidnle of November
| reached it* lowest point, which was 7 \ <i7\ for Low
; Middling and 7| ttSf for Middling, but soon recov
i < red again, under a favorable turn in the Liverpool
! market, and a decline iu the rates of freight. The
j reported sales of the month were 193,500 bales,
; and the extreme fluctuations 7£ d 7| and */ 9| for
t J/oxv Middling t** Middling. The month of Decem
ber opened at &{'a 9| cents extremes for Low Mid
dling to Middling, but under adverse accounts from
Europe, prices gave way again, dosingal »i«B|,
with reported sales during the month of 214,400
baler. January opened at a B|, and the market
recovered daring the month to 8J a 9 cents. Repor
ted sales 241,400 bales. February was entered up
on at a range of 8] w 9 cents for Low Middling to
Middling, but rose about the middle of the month to
84 a9l cents. Reported sales of the month 209,000
bales, in March the opening prices were ßs cr ; 9|,
with an active demand, which continued through
the month, and with lower rates of freight u further
slight advance was realized, the extreme quotations
at the close, for I x)w Middling to Middling, being
8 1 '/ 9£ cento. 'l’ll** reported sales of the month were
jj-S,SUO bales, embracing one week of 85,500 bales ;
being the largest w<■< k s business by 5800 bales ever
transacted in this market, and exceeding the re
ceipts of the week in the amount of 32,600 bales.—
()ne day’s sales, embraced in the week reached 20,-
000 bales, which was the largest amount ever sold
in one day in this market. Early iu April the rates
reached 9</ for Low Middling to Middling, and
continued to move upward, attaining at the close
to 10$ a 10|, with some few sules reported at 11
cent.- for Strict Liverpool Middling. The amount
of sales reported (during the month was 214,700
bales. At this point of the market there was quite a
general withdrawal of buyers for shipment , the
rapid appreciation of prices, mainly through specu
lative movent* 1 its, having thrown the rates too far
beyond their limits. Under these cire in ns lances
May opened at 10 a 10] cents for Low Middling to
Middling, and closed at 9 -a 10$, with reported sales
for the month of 131,000 bales.
At the opening of .1 une the stock on sale was re
duced to an unusually low point for the period of
tin* s»*:ison, and consisted mainly of the grades be
!- w Middling, while the demand was almost exclu
ively for clean Cotton, ranging from Strict Middling
i » Good Middling and Middling Fair, which descrip
tions were very wN*u*ce, and generally held above
the orders or views of buyers. Under these circum
.-lances, and with continued light receipts, the
amount of business rapidly fell off, though what little
was d<*ne was at ful l iter advanced prices, the mar
ket opening at 9g a 105 for Low Middling to Mid
dling, und closing at 104 H cents, with reported
s-.ces for the month of 53.400 bales, against receipts
in the same period of only 30,000 bales. And with
ilu* month ot June the busiuess of the season may
In- said to have virtually closed, as the stock on
side had become so reduced, and prices had so ap
pitrialed, that the great majority of buyers had
closed their season’s operations and taken their de
parture. The entire sales of July and August bare
ly amounted to 29,000 bales, against receipts of on
ly 15,500 bales, and the prevailing prices were 10 a
104 1 cuts for Low Middling and 104 « cents for
Middling. The fieosqp closes with a stock unsold,
iu first and second hands, not exceeding 2,500 bales,
a part of which is low Cotton, of the old crop, which
lias long been held under limits. The total reported
sales during the seasou sum up 1,862,500 bales,
which is about 100,000 bales in excess of the re
ceipts, bpt probably this excess does not fully indi
cate the extent of the local speculative movement,
as occasional sales of considerable magnitude are
mad** which are not allowed to reach the public.
And thus has been disposed of with a promptitude
and rapidity without a parallel, the largest amount
of Cotton ever received at this port, in any one
year, and at an average of prices, too, that must
!.e highly remunerative to the planter, while we are
pleased to learn that Ihe general Cotton account,
eurreut for the year, between this country and Eu
rope, is likely to present a fair balance on the credit
side.
The total receipts at this port since the Ist Sep
tember last, from all source*, are 1,759,293 bales.
This amount includes 65,329 bales received from
Mobile, Florida and Texas by sea ; and this being
deducted, our receipts proper, including 37,031 bales
received direct from Montgomery, Wetumpka, *fce.,
are shown to be 1,693,964 bales : being an increase
us compared with las year 0f445,797 bales, and an
tof 89,975 bales. The total ex
poris since the Ist September are 1,795,023 bales, of
which 986,622 bales were shipped to Great Britain,
211,811 to France, 341,487 to the North and South
ot Europe, and 222,100 to United States ports. The
total receipts at ail the Atlantic and Gulf ports, up
to the lat* st dates received, as shown by our Gene
ral Cotton Table, are 3,492,658 bales : but the ac
tual crop, when mode up to the Ist September by
the New York Shipping and Commercial List, with
the difference of stocks at Augusta and Hamburg,
receipts overlaud, Ac., will not be far from 3,520,-
000 bales ; an increase of 672,661 bales as compared
with the crop of hist year.
Tables from 1811 to 1856 show that the Cotton
.- lonesold in New Orleans within the past twelve
years, has yielded a gross product of $539,838,665.
As for the new crop all estimates are avoided. —
Probably in no former year was there so small a
proportion of the old crop left in the interior, where
as in the receipts of last year it is estimated that
there were included about 150,000 to 200,000 bales
of the crop of 1854. Thus the supply this year will
depend almost exclusively upon the year’s produc
tion.
The first bale of the new crop came from tho
southernmost part of Texas, and was received at
the unusually early period of 15th July, but the first
bale from the Mississippi Valley was not received
until August 6th, which was eleven days later than
the first receipt from the same section last year, and
the total receipts of new crop up to this date are
only 1166 bales, against 23,282 bales last year, with
every motive to scud forward early. Os this quan
tity about 4(H) bales have been sold, iu small lots,
generally at a range of
dling to Middling Fair.
Sugar. —Tho season opened upon unfavorable
prospects for the Sugar Crop, ami it was generally
estimated at quite an early date, that the deficiency,
as compared with the previous year (when the crop
was 346,635 hogsheads) would be at least 100,000
hogsheads. The estimate proved to be sufficiently
accurate for all practical purples, as the actual
crop, according to the Annual Statement of Mr. 1\
A. Champomier, was found to be 231,427 hogsheads,
viz -192,391 hogsheads Brown Sugar, made by the
old process, 23,265 hogsheads Refined and Clarified
aud 5771 hogsheads Cistern Bottoms, the last being
an estimate of 3 per cent on the product of Brown
Sugar. The hogsheads are estimated to a> erage
1100 pounds; giving a total for the crop of 254-
569,000 pounds. This was the product of 1299
Sugar-houses, against 1324 the year before, aud of
these 938 use steam and 361 use horses as their
motive power. The turther large deficiency in the
crop has been productive of a higher range of pri
ocs than we remember to have been attained since
the remarkably short crop of 1835, and thus the ag
gregate gross returns have been within about two
millions of dollars of the value of the previous crop.
The first hogshead of the new crop was received
here on the luth October, being only six day? later
Lian the first receipt of the previous year, but it
uus not takt a as any indication of the general for
warduessof the crop* which was usually uubackward,
rendering the grinding season late aud precarious.
The first traufaetious on plantation were noticed
in the early part of February, aud from time to time
considerable sales were repo’rted at 61. 6s, 7. 7^,75,
77 , 7], 7’, B,B], 8L B|. 9, and ceuts V pound.
The receipts at the levee since Ist September have
• < n 15 >.-U9 hogsheads, against 189,, 42 hogsheads
last year, or a decrease of 34,423 hogshead. This
.ows an unusually large proportion of the crop has
come to the city, as the deficiency of the crop is
115,208 hogsheads.
The estimated stock on hand at the close of last
s< a>on was 10.000 hogsheads, and this amount added
to the cr0p—231,427 hogsheads—would make a sup
p;vot24l 42. hogsheads. The distribution of tins
- ply, as nearly as can be ascertained, has been as
*\> s ; Shipments to places out of the State, as
>vu by our tables, aud including the exports
I oinjAttakapas, 52,400 hogsU-nds consumption of
t:.e city and neighborhood. 30,000 kgrinM ta
k. a for refilling in the city and other pans of the
State, including Cistern Bottoms, 8,000 hogsheads -.
estimated quantity taken to fill up hogsheads for
1-V.600 hogsheads . stock now on hand in
: the State estimated at 5,000 hogsheads; leaving as
t c quantity token fertile West 131,027 hogsheads,
agaiust 142,963 hogsheads las-t year,or a decrease of
lt,t*36 hogsheads.' The quantity shipped to Atlantic
p. its is only 39,133 hogsheads. agUiiist 129,963 hogs
. ..ns last year-, showing a decrease of 82.830 hop*
The coming crop will doubtless be the shortest, in
proportion to the «-xteut of ground cultivated, that
.. a * oevured since 1835. when the yield was estima
te fi i ;•> .1 *• hogsheads. There Las been a gradual
c hanging, tor some years past, from the Sugar cul
ture To Sat of Cotton, for we find by Mr. Cuampo
mier’s statements that while in 1552 there were 1481
Sugar houses, in 1855 the number had been reduced
t > 1299 . showing a decrease in three years of 182.
We also know tuat there has been a further material
iiecrc-ase this year, hut the great falling off in the
crop i> referable to tu damage from the remarka
ble continuance of cold and wet weather during the
puc. winter. At all events the crop must be a short
j oue as tne extreme estimate named is 125,000
, a<is. while some mark as low as 80,000 hogs beans,
an amount altogether insufficient for the require
meats of the West alone, and calling for an unusual
ly r e import of foreign Sugars.
' m issj—According to the Annual Statement
of Mr. 1* A Champomier the product of *ast year s
crop of cane, estimating sixty gallons to each lUUO
ll>. : Sugar, was 15,274,140 gallons, against 23.-
II •>,620 gallons last year, or a decrease of • ,839,480
• gallons, and 15,725,860 gallons less than the estima
ted product of 1853.
| This large falling off in the supply, together with
! the high cost of Sugar, has been productive of a high

Tobacco. —The total receipts at this port since Ist
September, are 56,090 hogsheads, which amount in
cludes 4,810 hogsheads Strips, and 1,584 hogsheads
Stems, and the quantity inspected during the same

ol which there are unsold, in first and second hands,
about 7,000 hogsheads.
With respect to the growing crop, it seems to be
generally conceded that it must be materially short
of the product of last year, aa the planting in conse
quence of unfavorable weather, was delayed until
an unusually late period, and in many sections con
tinued drought prevented the usual favorable pro

A Disclosure—Fremont —the Democratic Nomi
nation*
One of the most curious developments which has
occurred at the commencement of a political cam
paign, already crowded with startling eccentricities,
says the Baltimore Patriot , is the statement recent
ly made public by the Hon. Geo. C. Bates, of Cali
fornia, and the truth of which is endorsed by the
New York Times. It appears from this narrative,
that, late in September, 1855, the leading men of
the Democratic party, North and South, had fixed
their attention upon Fremont as their candidate for
the Presidency, and that overtures were made to
him with a view to his assent to the nomination, by
noless a person than Governor Floyd, of Virginia,
but the negotiations were finally broken off, by rea
son of a difference of opinion upon the Missour
Compromise.
Those, however, who will read carefully the
whole story, as appended to these introductory com
ments, will find that this apparently heroic rejec
tion of a tempting proposal, was not quite of so
magnanimous a character as it appears at the first
glance. Iu their eagerness to serve Col. Fremont,
his friends have unintentionally let us into the se
cret of his political continence. He was in treaty ,
at the time, with the party by whom he was subse
quently nominated , and adroitly made use of the
mission of Gov. Floyd to bring that party to terms ,
for ice b arn that immediately on the withdrawal of
the Virginia commission, a telegraphic dispatch
was sent to Mr. Banks and Senator Wilson, who
at once hastened to New York, where they were
closeted with the redoubtable Colonel, and did not
leave him until the scheme of Lis nomination, by
the Republicans, was perfected. All the prelimi
naries being satisfactorily arranged, the pathfinder
unpacked his truuks—for it will be observed that,
growing weary of delays, aud, perhaps, hopeless of
bringing the negotiation to a successful conclusion,
he was in (he act of ntarting off to revisit his auri
ferous domain of Mariposa—and quietly settled him
self in New York, waiting, like the respectable gen
tleman delineated by Dickens —for “something to
to turn up.” It was a bold game to play, but he
managed his cards so cleverly that the knaves
seemed to fall into his hands as if by instinct, and
he could soon count trick for trick with the party
whose nomination he had declined.
To a man of even ordinary sagacity it needed no
exercise of profound thought to understand how
slender the possibility of Mr. Fremont’s nomination
would have been had he suffered his name to go be
fore the Cincinnati Convention as the competitor of
Pierce, and Douglas, and Buchanan, and with
the weight of the government officials against him.
As the Republican nominee, he had a clear field,
and at least an equal chance of reaching the Presi
dency; while the mere fact of his name being
brought before the Cincinnati Convention would
have effectually precluded him from becoming the
candidate of any other party. It is, therefore, clear
that Col. Fremont not only sacrificed nothing by
discountenancing the Democratic proposition, but
that in fact it was of advantage to him in a different
way, as the sequel proves that he forthwith made
use of this very proposition as a lever by which to
bring the Republicans to terms. The following are
the disclosures to which we have referred :
lion. Geo. C. Bates, formerly Attorney-General
of Michigan, but latterly of San Francisco, made the
following highly important statement in a nublic
speech at Calamazoo, on Wednesday last. We in
vite for it tiie attention of all honest Democrats.—
We quote from the Detroit Tribune :
When he (Mr. Bates) wus expected to sail for
California, in August, 1855, he was persuaded by
Mr. Palmer, of the firm of Palmer, Cook & Co.,
bankers, of San Francisco, to remain until October,
when he and Col. Fremont would accompany him
thither. Mr. Bates postponed his departure ns de
sired. But when the time for departure arrived,
Col. Fremont, although his trunks were packed, did
not go, but ordered his baggage to the Metropolitan
Hotel instead. This was in consequence of the fol
lowing facts :
“Gov. Floyd, of Virginia, had just arrived in New
York city, for the special purpose of having an in
terview with Col. Fremont, und the result of that
interview was an offer made to Col. Fremont by
Floyd, in behalf of the Democratic party, he haying
advised with its leading men North and South, of the
nomination for the Presidency, lie said that party
wanted a new man—a man of integrity, aud who
had won distinction outside of politics. Col. Fre
mont, after listening patiently, and even submitted
to two separate interviews, and knowing the plat
form he was expected to stand upon, replied : that
while deeply sensible of the high distinction of
the proposition made him, and flattered by the
promises it extended, yet with his opinions of the
repeal of the Missouri Compromise, it would be im
possible for him to entertain the proposition. He
considered that repeal an infamous breach of plight
ed faith, and should never desist deuouheing the act
and its authors. Col. Fremont planted himself im
pregnably on this position.
“Mr. Palmer, being cognizant of these facts, com
municated them forthwith to lion. N. P. Banks, and
lion. Henry Wilson, of Massachusetts, and they
came and saw Col. Fremont, and to state iu brief
the result of that interview, he consented to lead the
hosts of freedom in this campaign if the people
should call him to that position. All this happened
in September, 1855, if we correctly recall Mr. llates’
statement. He gives times, names aud places, aud
vouches for the entire accuracy of the above state
ment ; and although it did not come to him with the
injunction of secresy, he stated he would not have
revealed it had the facts not already been partly dis
closed in last Saturday's New York Herald. Any
statement made by Mr. B. commands implicit reli
ance in this community, where he has been known
lor years, and is universally respected.”

Public Discasaioa in Henry.
On yesterday, Sept. Ist, a large number of the
citizens of Henry County assembled in McDonough
' to hear Col. L. J. Gartrell discuss the political is
sues of the day, about two thirds of the assemblage
being members of the American party. On his ar
rival. the friends of Mr. Fillmore proposed a public
discussion, winch Col. Gartrell accepted, with the
j provision that he should be allowed to dictate the
j terms, i. e. for him to open the diroussion in one
, hour, Col. L. T. Doval to reply in a speech of one
hour and three quarters, and Col. Gartreli to con
clude in three quarters of an hour. Although this
proposition * as unfair, yet it was accepted and the
debate commenced.
j I will give you, Mr. Editor, so far as I can recol
lect, an outline of the positions taken by Col. Gar
. trail, that your readers may be informed as to the
modes of warfare adopted by Mr. Buchanan's
| friends in this part of Georgia, or at least adopted
| by Col. Gartrell, the Democratic Elector for the
Fourth Congressional District. He said that the
Americans were misguided, had abandoned their
principles and were running after strange Gods.—
That it was impossible to get them to meet the only
; question made in the canvass, to-wit: The Slavery
Question. He affirmed that the editor of the
“Chronicle & Sentinel” is a northern man, tLat he
is ashamed to publish the American Platform, that
his proclivities are decidedly northern, and that
therefore he could account for the enthusiastic sup
jK>rt he gives to Millard Fillmore. Boasted that he
(Gartrell) had converted an old man in Carroll
county, several in Troup, and that he defied any
gentleman of the American Party to meet him—
that Judge Hill, for reasons best known to himself,
had failed and refused to discuss with him, and that
he was anxious to meet “ Ben .” Hill. He actually
left the impression on the minds of his hearers, that
this last named gentleman had backed out from a
discussion with him. I reckon he has not seen
B. H. Hill’s recent letter in your paper, in which
letter it is strongly implied that he will meet any
and all Buchanan advocates “in Atlanta or some
other central point, where he will discuss from day
to day until all is told.”
Should Col. Gartrell have the pleasure of meet
ing .oe?t. ere the close of the campaign, which we
Americans of Henry sincerely hope that he will,
we have only to say—
•‘Lay on Macduff
And darn’d be he who first cries hold , enough .”
The Speaker further said that Fillmore has on his
banner at the North, “Fillmore aud Free Territo
ry/' and that Mr. Fillmore is in favor of restoring
the Missouri Compromise; that he voted to natu
ralize a free negro while in Congress ; also to re
ceive a negro as an’embassador; and that he par
doned abolitionists. That Foreigners never sent
Sharpe’s rifles to Kansas to make it a Free State,
and that they are therefore better friends to the
Union than many Americans, and that they never
betrayed any trust confided to them. The speaker
said that he and his party were deadly opposed to
squatter sovereignty, and that Mr. Fillmore and his
party were in favor of it. lie finally concluded by
glorifyiug the Kansas bill and Mr. B.ehdnan and his
party generally.
I have given you, I think, a faithful sketch of his
positions in his first argument.
Now does not every man in his sense? krow V. at
the charges made against Millard I'i'lmore are ut
terly at war with the truth of his recoi u and his h*s
tory ? Can it be possible that Col. Gartrell expects I
by sweeping denunciations and emp*y declamation !
to impose upon the credulity of the people of Tlc-n
--ry, and cheat them out ot their votes? If yea, he
is badly mistaken. They read for themselves, aod
know that he cannot sustain the fi-it charge that he
made.
Col. Doyal, an able lawyer and eloquent debater,
replied by saying that he was gratiiied that an op
portunity had been afforded him to reply to the
standard-bearer of the Buchanan columus of the
4th Congressional District; that he should make no
unkind remarks, indulge in no bitter sarcasms, but
discuss the questions fairly and squarely, and make
no charges that he was not able to sustain by histo.
ry and the records of his country.
He then proceeded, in a fair, manly, and unan
swerable speech, to inspect and review the Cincin
nati platform. He said that his friend Gartrell had
glorified the Democratic platform, and affirmed that
it contained the principles of the Fathers of the Re
public, and was as impregnable as the rock of Gib
raltar, and that it would be faithfully carried out
by the Democratic party. Col. Doyal said then
that he would propound a few questions to his
friend, and that he hoped they would be frankly an
swered in the reply.
The Democratic platform declared that “Every
branch of the General Government should practice
the most rigid economy in conducting public af
fairs.” Mr. Van Buren spent $37,000,000 per an
num with the Florida war upon his hands, and was
turned out of office for extravagance. Mr. Polk,
who had to prosecute the Mexican war, and pro
vide means for the American army, spent $45,000,-
000 per annum, and many of his friends thought he
was very extravagant. Mr. Fillmore, under the
additional expenses he was compelled to meet,
spent but $37,000,000, and Democracy shook her
hoary locks at him. Yet, Franklin Pierce has swell
ed the expenditures of the Government in the time
of profound peace to the snug little sum of $82,000,-
000, and this is Democratic economy.
Again, that the same platform declared that “The
Constitution does not confer upon the General Gov
ernment any power to carry on a general system of
Internal Improvementsand scarcely had the ink
dried upon the paper upon which the resolution was
written, before a Democratic Senate passed more
than forty bills in direct conflict with this plank of
the platform, requiring an appropriation of millions
of the public money. Pierce, true to the Democrat
ic platform, had vetoed the bills, and they were
passed by his political associates by a constitutional
majority over the Presidential veto Again, the
said Cincinnati Convention declared, “That it was
inexpedient and wrong for the General Government
to cherish and foster one branch of industry to the
detriment of another and yet, that same Con
vention had nominated a man for the Presidency
who voted for the odious tariff of 1828, for the “black
tariff” of 1842, as it was indignantly called by the
friends of Mr. Polk in 1844—a man who had voted
for the force bill to compel South Carolina to sub
mit to what she regarded as an unconstitutional and
oppressive tariff, and who never had voted against
any discriminating tariff in all his political life.
Here then, was Democratic professions vs. Demo
cratic practice. And again : said platform adopted
the principles of the Nebraska-Kansas bill, and yet
his friend Gartrell was willing to swear that no
such thing as “ Squatter Sovereignty” was in said
bill; notwithstanding General Cass, Douglas, Tou
cey, Bigler, and, indeed, all the leading Democrats
of the Free States in Congress, who ought to know,
declared in debate on the amendment offered by
Trumbull to the Pacification bill, on the floor ot the
Senate, only a month ago, that the Kansas bill did
distinctly recognize the right of the people in their
Territorial Legislature to prohibit or admit slavery
in eaid Territory. If Squatter Sovereignty was in
the bill, then his friend Gartrell was dead against
the Democratic platform, and as the originators of
the bill say it is in it, therefore Gartrell was opposed
to said bill. Col. Doyal said he could define the po
sition of the American party on that subject in a very
few words. Saidhe, we do notobject to the principle
that the people of a Territory, when they in-et in con
vention to form a State constitution, may to 1 , rale or
prohibit slavery, but we deny that a thousand
squatters may meet in a legislative capac.ty and
exclude slavery from a Territory where it b carried
and protected by the Constitution. We have al
ways, heretofore, and do still, oppose the A'icn Suf
frage feature in said bill, and expect to oppose it
world without end.
Mr. Fillmore signed the organic law organizing j
the Territories of Utah and New Mexico, and the
organic law of each of these Territories distinctly 1
admit the right of the people, when they meet to |
form a State Constitution, to admit or prohibit i
slavery at their pleasure, and that he was “ right
side up with care, - ’ on these questions. Much more
was said upon this point, which I omit.
He said the next objection to the Cincinnati plat
torn, was in these words : “ The time has come for
the people of the United States to declare them
selves in favor of “ Free Trade and Free Seas.”
Here is distinctly enumerated a principle which
strikes at the dearest interest of the people. “Free
Trade'’ repudiated all tariffs for revenue or any
other purpose. How, then, could the government
be sustained ? Only by direct taxation, which, ac
cording to the expenditure of President Pierce
would be about four dollars per head for each and
every man, woman and child, black and white, in
the confederacy, besides our State tax. Doyal
showed forcibly the iniquitous principle manifested
in the platform in relation to “ free seas.” He said
his last objection to the position of the party was
their low inameuvering to secure the votes of the
Western States on the resolutions passed by the
Convention, avowing “ That it was the duty of the
Federal Government to build the Pacific Railroad.”
He said this resolution formed a part of the Cincin
nati platform, but that he had never seen it in a
Southern Democratic paper. He denounced this as
a gross fraud and downright hypocrisy. He called
upon Col. Gartrell to answer these charges.
Mr. Gartrell had charged Mr. Fillmore with voting
to naturalize a tree negro. Mr. Gartrell very well
knew that not a word of it was true. Mr. Fillmore
only did what the Georgia Legislature had done,
mnl winch may be found in our statute book, that is,
he voted for a bill giving to a certain free negro the
right to hold real t state, which he had acquired by
his industry. This is all that Fillmore done, and if
he was wrong so is the Georgia Legislature. He
certainly did not vote to receive a black Embassa
dor from an African Government as charged, be
cause the House of Representatives, which Mr.
Fillmore was in, had nothing to do with such recep
tion. The President may receive or not receive as he
chooses every Embassador without the consent or
advice of the House of Representatives.
Mr. Gartrell had “pitched into " Mr. Fillmore on
account of his views as expressed in his Erie letter.
This was remarkably strange : for this letter was
published in 181(8. and in 1848 Col. Gartrell intro
duced a reso.ution in Wilkes county, "approving of
Mr. Fillmcre’s nomination, because he had shout n
himself a safe and conservative man for the South.’'
Gartrell voted for him and advocated his claims on
the stump.
This Democratic Elector further said that Mr.
Fillmore had pardoned negro stealers. Does he not
know that these men were imprisoned because they
were unable to pay the fine imposed, and does he
not also know tiat they remained in prison four
fears at the expense of the government, because
they could not pay the fine imposed, and that they
were pardoned by Mr. Fillmore at the request of
the very slaveholders that had been injured by
them, and that Mr Fillmore refused to remit the
fine He could not review the history of Mr. t'ill
more fullv for the want of time, but pointed Mr.
Gartrell to Fillmore's acts while President . to his
letter to Gov. Gales; to his messages ; ins approval
of tae compromise measures, and the fugitive slave
law his letter of acceptance ; his approval of the
Utah and New Mexico territorial bids, and to his
speeches in Kentucky, Rochester, Albany, and ail
along the banks of the Hudson, as conclusive proof
of his nationality and conservatism.
The speaker paid an eloquent tribute to the
staiesmanship. patriotism and candor of the Model
President. ,
He declared that the lecord of the Democratic
nominee wao worse than the Democratic platform:
but as his time had expired he could not review that
record.
Mr. Gartrell. in reply, without the shadow of
proof, reiterated his charges against Mr. Fillmore —
said that he had originated and voted for the tariff
of 1828 and 1542, and that Pierce spent the
UOO fighting the abodtiouists—an* -,-v*V
Nothiug* passed the Ir ~‘ - the Know
over Uiq Pr*~ : J -vernal Improvement bills
v,v * . veto [tremendous cheering—
in a horn !!] —dodged the question of '‘free trade”
aud “free seas/' and the Pacific Railroad bill—in
deed, he made no reply to the argument that had
preceded him. In conclusion. I must say that I
was disappointed in Coh Gartrell. He certainly did
not come up to the expectation of those who heard
him. nis argument was disjointed, and made op
of the vulgarisms found iu the Democratic jour
nals.
But our people are not to be carried away by
empty declamation and sweeping denunciations.
We will give Fillmore 250 majority in Henry coun
ty in November next — mark that.

Toe Knoxville Mass Meeting.
Knoxville, Tenn., Sept. 5,1856.
Mr. Editor :—Tennesse is awake for Fillmore,
Donelson and the Union, and no mistake. I had
the gratification of witnessing the greatest Fillmore
demonstsation of the season at this place yesterday.
Never iu my life have I seen so many people to
gether, and so much enthusiasm manifested. I was
at the Clay Mass Meeting in Madison in IS-44, and
I then thought I should never again see so many
people together ; but it was nowhere, in comparison
with this, both as regards numbers aud enthusiastic
feeling. The crowd b variously estimated at from
fifteen to twenty-five thousand. It really seems
that the whole of East Tennessee have come out to
give an impetus to the good cause. Never have I
seen so many banners, transparencies, &c. I count
ed in a procession last night seventy-six transparen
cies, each bearing a different inscription. General
William Haskell, of Memphis, made the great
speech of the occasion. He held the largest crowd I
ever before saw, spell-bound for four and a half
hours. It would be useless for me to even attempt
to describe it. It was such a speech as a man does
not have the pleasure of hearing more than once in
a life-time. Hb appeal to the old-line Whigs was
most eloquent and impressive, and was received
with great applause. Dr. Miller, of your State, fol
lowed in a speech of two hours, in such a speech as
Dr. Miller always make■*». I heard a number of
speeches from other distinguished speakers : Messrs.
Sneed, Picket, Judge Brien, Maynard, White,
Campbell, Taylor, Paxton, Anderson, and last,
though not least. Brownlow, of the Whig. The
speakers of Tennessee are the plainest speakers I
have ever Ibtened to. They set down any sensible
man, who understands the history of his country,
and who has pronounced Millard Fillmore as an
Abolitionist, as a sneaking scoundrel, and an un
mitigated liar, and declare themselves responsible
for all they say; and I believe they are right. The
ball is in motion in Tennessee, and, from all that I
can learn, the State is considered by our friends as
safe for Fillmore by over five thousand majority.
There is to be a Democratic Mass Meeting at
Chattanooga on the 11th inst., and I leave here to
morrow to attend it. lam desirous of looking at
both sides, so as I may be able to tell how Tennes
see will go iu this contest. Yours truly,

The “Little Pilgrim/* whose “flute-like” speech
at Harrodsburg, Penn., has never been reported
South, (was tuere anything Freesoilbh in it, or did
he, like Douglass, and Geo. W. Jones, and Judge
Hillyer, openly endorse squatter sovereignty 1) I
understand, is now to perigrinate to Illinois, to
speechify and quiet the Free Democracy there. He
is to tell them that the principle of the Kansas bill
does mean that “the people of a Territory, like those
of a State/’ (at any time unorganized and as mob
ocrats,) have the right to exclude slavery from their
territory. That is, it means this in Illinois, and iu
ali the North and West, but away back in Georgia,
iie and the lion. Robert, a Senator of “the cracker
State,” are wool-gathering the eyes and ideas of the
peop-e, and making them believe that it is only
“popular sovereignty,” which means the people’s
right to vote at elections without dark lanterns or
religious tests. Robert uses sheep wool, as in our
last election for Governor, to blind the people to
the true issue now before them, and I am using ne

Thomas W. Thomas on the Democracy*
Mr. Editor :—With the harmonious unterrified
we find many elements now in unison which it is
difficult to explain, except upon the principle of “the
cohesive power of public plunder.” For instance,
how do men now harmonize that once charged each
other with belonging tc» the Garrison school of abo
litionists, and as entertaining opinions more hostile
to the South than the notorious freesciler Dix ?
llow is it that the Nashville conventionists and
Buffalo Freesoilers are to-day side by side, hand
aud glove ? What is the magnet ? and how is it
that Thomas W. Thomas, Esq., the author of the
following sentiments, is sent out as a missionary to
enlighten the Democracy.
Report of a Speech del/erred by Thomas IV.
Thomas , {Democratic Elector) at a Convention
* of the Union Tarty , in July , 1852.
Mr. Thomas, (Democrat) of Elbert, then defined
his position. He was opposed to the dissolution of
the party, as such a course was indirectly assisting
Scott, and was in favor of supporting Pierce and
King, by an electoral ticket composed of Whigs and
Democrats. The rest of his position was wholesale
billingsgate and abuse of the Democratic party,
both the past and present. To abuse them was his
extatic bliss, and was a luxury he never denied
himself. He had nothing for them but the harshest
words, and those were not harsh enough, bill they
were the language of his inmost heart, and it was
his happiness to give them utterance. Religion
made men like each other. If it could make him
like such men, ho would spurn without hesitation
the very grace of God itseit. He would rather vote
for the Devil for President, and Belzebub
for Vice President, than for Pierce and King
for those offices, through the Electoral ticket
of such rascals, scoundrels and cowards. He as
sured the Convention he could convict (positively)
130 members of the National Convention of direct
lying. Such a party, he had not the slightest respect
for, and could not be insulted by it otherwise than
by personal violence.
This report is to be found in the Constitutionalist
of July 21st, 1852, taken from the Savannah Geor
gian, both good authority, now with the harmoni
ous. The ticket then out in Georgia was 11. V.
Johnson, Wilson Lumpkin, Fareman, Clark, La
mar, Haralson, Brown, Mitchell, Flournoy a’.d
Schley. Now take this, and the assertion that he
would not vote for Buchanan, his denial of Stephens
Griffin speech, and what can be made of such a
party ? Consistency.
PasNnjre of the Army BUI.
Yesterday, we stated that the Army bill passed
the House by tiro majority. It should have been
four. The vote stood 101 yeas to 97 nays, as we
see by reference to the yeas and nays.
The Washington correspondent of the N. Y. Her
ald says:
The Republicans could, if they had chose, have
killed the bill. Messrs. Welsh of Connecticut,
Millward of Pennsylvania, Miller of N. Y., with
Speaker Banks, would have defeated it, but they
evidently were anxious it should pass.
The same correspondent says :
Letters had been received from Greeley and oth
ers, begging the Republicans to change their tactics,
as their course was ruining them at home. In one
letter Greelay says “For God's sake, let the bill

Kaunas News.
The Charleston Courier of the Btli instant pub
lishes the following letters. The first is dated Atchi
son, K. T. August 20, and is addressed to Hon.
Jas. Simons, Chairman Executive Committee of
Kanas Association in Charleston, and is as follows :
A scouting party of four, which we sent out on
Monday evening, has just returned. They penetra
ted to Lecompton, meeting no interruption on the
way, and remained there until last evening. They
report that the town had not been attacked up to
the time of their leaving, the abolitionists having !
abandoned their position and retired towards Law- |
rence. Titus had been exchanged. His wounds j
consist of the loss of one thumb, a flesh wound in
the elbow, and one in the shoulder, which he received
while stooping to shoot througli a window. He
denies that he was badly treated while a prisoner,
though he admits at first there was some talk of
hanging him. He mentions that he recognised Lane
among the men at Lawrence, though he has assum
ed the name of Cook. Secretary W oodson is acting
Governor, and has sent to Fort Riley for four hun
dred men. He desires all our men to come on td
Lecompton at once, as lie fears very much for the
ferry there, the only one we have on the Kuw river.
He has not declared ti e Territory in a state of in
surrection up to this time, lest the abolitionists
should seize it; but as soon as he has sufficient
force to defend it, will issue a proclamation to that
effect.
The other letter is from Capt. E. B. Bell and is da
ted Westport, Mo., Aug. 24.
Such a sight as I witnessed when I airived here !
It never has been my l°t to see any thing like it—
armed men going and coming in every direction—
horses saddled, wagons loaded, band ot music play
ing, artillery moving out—nothing but excitement.
Our rendezvous is ten miles from here, and it is sta
ted here to-night that 000 men are camped there and
400 more are expected to-morrow. Doctors,judges,
lawyers, physicians and ministers, all are neglecting
their business and going. The news published is all
true: the thing has come to a crisis, and the time j
has come for action. There is a spirit of determina
; tion in the countenances of the Missourians, and this,
time thev will not be fooled. I leave in a few min
utes for the camp at New Santa Fe. They will or
ganize to-morrow, and I will send you all the news.
I write this simply to assure you that things are as
bad as they are represented.
The Black Flag.—At a Republican disunion

I.ctier from Hinnj»hrcy Marshall.
The following patriotic letter from the lion. Hum
phrey Marshall, of Kentucky, in reply to an in
vitation to be present at the late Union celebration
at Cincinnati, should be read by every voter at the
South :
Washington, Aug. 25,1856.
My Dear Sir —l wish I could comply with
urgent request that I should be present at the Union
meeting of the citizens of Ohio and Kentucky, at
Cincinnati aud Covington, on the 27th inst. But
my duty as a Representative of the people forbids
my absence from a single vote to be taken at this
extra session of Congress, and 1 shall not be absent
from one, if my life is preserved, should the sessiou
last until next 'March.
If I were with you, I should say to my country
men that the safety of the Republic depends upon
the election of Millard Fillmore to the Presidency,
and that, in my humble opinion, if they are not wise
enough to determine the matter iu that way, they
will not be wise enough to save the Union.
I do not write thus because of mere personal ad
miration for Mr, Fillmore, nor because I suppose
he alone has wisdom enough to administer the gov
ernment through a period of difficulty, but because
lie is the representative of concord and harmony be
tween the great sections of our country, while Lis
competitors aspire to rule, each backed substan
tially by a sectional party only, and each hoping to
succeed by solidifying sectional interests so as to
win by it.
Mr. Fremont has no party in any slaveholding
State. lie may have a ticket in one or more, but
every one knows 4 that the most sanguine of his sup
porters claim but a few thousand votes for him in
the whole range of those States. On the contrary,
he has become the exponent of an immense body
of voters iu the free States, and his friends iu those
States claim his election as a matter which time
will render certain, and which they are determined
to accomplish. The slave States have 120 votes ;
the free States 176 votes—l4y are necessary to a
choice by the people. If Mr. Fremont loses New
York he will be defeated, no matter how the
vote of the slave States may be split between
Buchanan aud Fillmore. If he loses Ohio and New
Jersey—or if he loses Pennsylvania and California,
or Indiana, Illinois, and Connecticut, the same re
sult will follow. It is useless to say to you that Mr.
Buchanan cannot, if left to struggle alone, hope to
win the desirable result upon any combination of
those States, even if the whole slaveholdiug States
vote for him. His best friends here will hardly
claim it—his enemies laugh at the supposition in ut
ter scorn. He could not, if report be true, cany his
own State, without the contest were triangular, and
unless it be the case in Illinois, he could not hope to
win in any of the remainder of the combination.
If Mr. Buchanan continues a candidate, he may
impair or utterly defeat Mr. Fillmore, but if he were
withdrawn or abandoned, Mr. Fillmore’s election
would be triumphant and most easy of accomplish
ment. lie will carry New York in all probability
under any circumstouces, but were Mr. B. aban
doned by the slave States, he would carry it beyond
any doubt, and in my opinion, would attract the
votes of all conservative masses throughout the
Free States. Mr. Buchanan cannot accomplish
this result. The reasons for this lie in the fact that
he lias ever been a vaocilatiug politician—is now
committed to ultra schemes of policy which may
and will jeopardize the pence of the country, a..d
Las taken the shoes of General Pierce upon the un
fortunate state of things now existing in Kansas, and
touching the slavery agitation that now distracts
the country. There are many other reasons—but
suffice it, the fact is as I state it, and all candid men
must acknowledge it. If the slave States then pre
fer to enter upon the sectional contest with Mr. Bu
chanan as a leader, they will support him anj leave
Mr. Fillmore’s friends throughout the free States
to withdraw altoghther from the vote or to take care
of themselves in the sectional contest which is to
come off'; for I say it boldly, that if nothing will do
but a sectional contest, the men of each section will
adhere to their section, and no human force can pre
vent it.
If such a contest is to occur, it will be because the
Southern people, following the advice of the South
ern Democrats, choose it, and will not avail them
selves of the chance that is offered to them of elect
ing a man of sound national character, whose former
administration of the government was preservative
of all their rights, yet who was the favorite of all
the conservative masses of the free Stutes, and who
could again command their suffrages if they saw
any corresponding effort on the part of the slave
States. Mr. Buchanan does not command their
confidence and cannot attract their support. The
South then has the choice fully and fairly presented
to it of a sectional contest by making the race be
tween Buchanan and Fremont, or of a national
struggle in which men in every seciion will act by
making the contest between Fillmore and Fremont,
and as the South makes her bed she must lie. I speak
plainly because 1 feel deeply.
In the event of Mr. Buchanan's election 1 foresee
a condition of things which will paralyse the ener
gies of this Government —protract the sectional dis
putes —involve the country in civil, and probably
in a foreign war, and end in the overthrow of the
Union, or in a struggle, renewed, between the sec
tions, oil a lower platform of Radicalism than either
of the parties—Republican or Democrat—now oc
cupy. That is to contemplate only a protracted
decline of the Republic instead ot its speedy dissolu
tion, which I believe would be the consequence of
the sectional contest now. Men may smile at such
a conclusion and doubtless many good men will, but
I never was more in earnest than lam now, and
never was more thoroughly convinced of the truth
of my conclusions than lam now while writing
this.
If the Democratic and Republican parties have
brought affairs to that pass here, that the struggle in
the legislative department of government between
them paralyses the government, and stops the ne
cessary for the common defence, what appropriations
hope shall we entertain that when the contest is trans
ferred to the people, and they combined under leaders
whoply every effort to deepen the struggle into one
purely sectional, it will be less embittered than it
now has become? We are at a point where we
may save ourselves, pass it and we shall drift into a
stream whose only outlet is a sea of anarchy. Have
the people—the American people—the virtue to
save their country by saving the Union of these
States ?—That is the question that now presses for
their answer, and a trust in God to guide your
meeting to such a result as to make that answer pro
pitious of a brighter future than I now picture to
. my mind’s eye.
lam no croaker. Look back on my public life,
and I think no record can bo found where I ever
traced a doubt of the perpetuity of the Govern
ment. But I tell my countrymen plainly I do now
doubt it, and I look to the future with a solicitude
and anxiety my bosom has heretofore been a stran
ger to. The people have all in their owu hands. If
madness rules the Hour, the slave States will reject
Mr. Fillmore, and will precipitate the catastrophe
we shall hereafter so much deplore. If wisdom
prevails, the people will rally to his standard, and
will by his election, re-establish confidence be
tween the sections, and place the country again on
the highroad to a fulfilment of her proper destiny.—
There is nothing 1 have or hope for on this earth I
would not yield to save my country, and if there
ever was a time or will be a time for a patriotic
mind to publish its convictions, that time has ar
rived now.
These sectional controversies must cease or this
Uuion cannot long endure. Already the plains of
Kansas are wet with the blood of our countrymen
shed in its fratricidal war, and think you it will sink
in the ground ? Already are bands of armed men
rushing to the conflict to maintain or overthrow a
system of social and domestic polity hereafter to ob
tain in the State of Kansas when organized ! Think
you this state of things is to continue and yet the
Union is to survive ?
Texas lias already voted men and money to sus
tain one side of the cause. Other States may soon
imitate her example, and when Massachusetts and
South Carolina have done so, and others follow, how
lon# do you suppose it will be before the bonds of
the Union will melt in the hot furnace of excited con
tests that will eupervene here in the halls of the Na
tional Legislature. If Mr. Pierce’s administration
cannot manage the people of lvausas now, when the
opposing forces do not number two thousand, what
are we to hope from Mr. Buchauan’s or Mr. Fre
mont's administration, when States shall have be
come partizans, and the flfigs of heavy forces shall
have gone down in the contest? Oh, my mind con
templates that future with absolute horror! and
yet my judgment bids me look it in the face as a
danger which is imminent and approaching. We
have one hope. This Government was based upon
the idea of the virtue and intelligence of the people,
and the people are now the arbiters of their own
fate. If the idea of our forefathers was correct, the
people will intervene to save their institutions; if it
were erroneous, or we have become too degenerate
to practice upon it, the catastrophe will show, in
stead of a happy and free people, the “bloodiest
picture in the book of time.” If Mr. Fillmore pre
vails, we shall have a prospect of sunny skies and
fair weather for our future voyage ; if he does not,
my humble opinion is, the storm we now dread
will prove a gentle breeze to the hurricane that
will overwhelm us.
Yours, very sincerely,
Humphrey Marshall.

Kansas.
“War rages in Kansas Murder and robbery
stalk through the land. Cities are attacked and de
stroyed, houses burned, plantations laid waste, and
all law and order set atjacfiance,jand yet the govern
ment is powerless to arrest the rebellion and restore
quiet and security to the country.” —Atlanta In
telligencer.
The above is taken from the Intelligencer, a “can
tankerous” (as Mr. Forsyth would have said,) Demo
cratic paper of Atlanta. “War rages in Kansas;”
who caused it? Who is responsible for this condi
tion of affairs ? Who has brought this great repub
lic to the verge of the precipice—this trembling
vo*ge,now shaking beneath our feet? Who has
armed one section of this Union against the other—
who has thrown us back to the barbarism, nay
worse than the barbarism and cruelty, which stain
ed with blood the soil of the “Debatcable Land?”
Tliis country was at peace. Irritating questions
were laid at rest. The compromise measures were
pronounced a finality. Mr. Fillmore left the Presi
dential chair, with not a speck of trouble in our po
litical firmament. Mr. Pierce succeeds him. The
Kansas bill, with one face to the North, and one to
the South, is passed, agitation at once commences—
it has advanced with fearful rapidity —it has caused
intestine war—where it will end, God only knows.
Messrs. Douglas Stephens are the parents of this
double-headed monster. We were told at the
South that it would make Kansas a slave State, and
thus secure our ascendancy at Washington. And
there were men at the South, sufficiently verdant to
believe, that negro Slavery could exist in a country
in which the thermometer stands for days at 20 deg.
below zero. Instead of making Kansas a slave
State, this bill is crowding it with foreigners and
abolitionists. Instead of giving us peace at Wash
ington, it has roused with tenfold energy the whole
dormant anti-slavery sentiment of the North. In
stead of adding to our strength, it has but rendered
conspicuous our weakness. Its result must be,
either that we tamely succumb, or that we with
draw from the government —a withdrawal which,
based upon the present state of affairs, cannot be
consummated without the horrors of a civil war.
There is but one way in which these evils can be
averted —away in which the conservative men
at the North and South can unite—and that
i a by the elevation of Mr. Fillmore to the Pre
sidency. A man so pure in life that his oppo
nents can find no etain upon it—so calm in
temper that terrible agitations of the early period of
his administration could not ruffle him—so mingling
suavity with firmness that the defeated Carolinians
greeted him with an ovation—so wise in adminis
tration that from disorder he produced order, from
turmoil peace, and from universal anxiety an uni
versal confidence.
His successor has thrown down the apple of dis
cord. Mr. Buchanan approves and is pledged to
carry out the policy of Mr. Pierce. So far as the
chameleon ha? a color, this is his position. He will
perpetuate the evils under which we now labor, if
he be elected.
But he cannot be elected. If the whole South
were to vote unanimously for him he cannot be
elected by the popular vote. If any one doubts this
let him look to the figures; he will seethe impossibili
ty. The whole Souta and Pennsylvania cannot make
him President. If the whole South unite upon Mr.
Fillmore, he can be elected and the couDtrybe saved.
If Fremont is our next President, the responsibility
will rest upon the Southern supporters of Mr. Bu
chanan. Let them unite with true-hearted Ameri
cans, and prevent the catastrophe which must follow
the election of Fremont. Warned by the imbecility
of an administration which raises a ’ghost which it
cannot lay, let them unite upon one which will com
mand peace at home and respect abroad.
Let the public attention be turned to the expres.
sions contained in the extract at the head of this ar
ticle. It is a description, “in parvo' 5 of the admin
isiration —blustering and then whining. It shows
; even though at the hands of a friend, its want of sa- ,

TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.
Officers and Members of Joppa
Lodge, No. 162, of Free and Accepted Masons, through
tiieir Committee, have the melancholy task assigned
them of announcing to the Brethren of sister Lodges the
death of their late Brother Dr. JOHN L. GLENN, who
departed this life at the residence of his father, William
Glenn, Jr., in Oglethorpe county, on Friday, 2otU July,
A. L. 5856, in the 27th year of his age.
Joppa Lodge has lost one of her brightest ornaments ;
she has lost a worthy and consistent member; the com
munity in which he lived will feel the loss of an estima
ble citizen, and a popular, though young physician.
Brother Glenn, having very recently married, had made
all the necessary preliminary arrangements for render
ing himself happy and useful, in his possession, to his
fellow-citizens, when Death, the great King of Terrors,
.summoned him hence. His prospects for happiness
througli life, were truly flattering; he was universally
respected as a man of high moral worth ; he had not an
enemy, in the kuowledge of the Committee ;) his urbane
manner and gentleness of disposition, won for him the
admiration and respect of all classes. He was noted for
frankness of disposition, candor, and conciliation, in all
his dealings with his fellow-men. Ostentation belonged
not to him in any of its shapes and disguises ; principle
formed the man, and to principle was he a friend indeed.
In short, our brother was a man of the strictest integrity
of character. We are not conscious of exaggeration
when we make the declaration that our late Brother was
a standard bearer of morality, worthy the imitation of
all young meu, especially those of the medical profes
sion. His habits of sobriety, promptness of attendance
on the sick, his unassuming manners in the social circle,
and his readiness, at all times, to contribute to the wants
of the destitute and needy, and to uphold the charitable
institutions cf the aay, without regard to denomination
or sect, elicited the approbation and esteem of all with
whom lie had to deal. To have known him, was but to
have loved him. He has left us ou a journey to that
country from whose baurne no traveller returns. We
may, like David of old, while mourning the loss of Ab
salom, comfort ourselv es with the reflection that we may
go unto him, but that he caunot return unto us. “ The
Lord gave and the Lord hath taken away : Blessed be
the mime of the Lord.” it is not the membership of this
Lodge alone who are called upon to mourn the early de
parture of one of its members, (and the flrst who has
been summoned from time to eternity since its organiza
tion,) but the young and disconsolate widow of our de
ceased brother ; she who, but a tew short weeks since,
had allied herself to h;m whom she loved in the bonds of
holy matrimony, is now called upon to encounter the
bitter pangs oi disappointed hope* and high expectations
ol earthly felicity with him to whom she had given her
self as a helpmate. We deeply sympathize with her in
the heavy bereavement which she is called to mourn,
and commend her to Ilim who has power over Death,
llell and the Grave, and who has promised to be a hus
band to the widow and father to the fatherless. Brother
Wm.. Glenn, Jr., the father of our deceased Brother, has
met with a bereavement, in the death of his son, which
time only can obliterate. His eldest son, by a former
marriage, and one who gave so great promise of useful
ness to the community, to be removed from earth with
all its attractive ties, in the meridian of manhood, isablow
almost too powerful for the philosophy of an affectionate
parent to bear ; but we should recollect that the earth is
the Lord’s, and the cattle on a thousand hills are his. We
should, therefore, bow with submission to the will of
Divine Providence in all things. The deceased has left
several brothers (one of whom is an officer in this Lodge,)
and sisters, together with an affectionate step-mother
and brother, with a large circle of friends to mourn the
loss of one whose spirit, we trust, lias winged its way to
that house—that high temple—a building uot made with
hands eternal in the heavens.

SELECTED—LOVE SCENE.
jjujT* Mr. Poppa paid his two hundred and sixty
seventh visit to Miss Clarissa Cooler, the other evening.
He found her in a rocker alone in the parlor; stole his arm
around her alabaster neck, and sipped the nectar of her
cherry lips—a proceeding there was not the least harm in,
considering that they had come to an agreement, and
were generally reported to be on the high road to matri
mony. They lady took all quietly—even indifferently,
to judge from the lassitude of her attitude in the rocker,
her lazy use of her fan, and her exclamation of some
thing between a high-ho and a yu-hum.
Common places were disposed of; then followed a
silence, broken only by Mr. Popps slapping at the mos
quitoes, and Miss Clarissa fanning herself uneasily.
At length Popps proposed a promenade and ice-cream.
Clarissa declined both, adding :
“ I wish to stay at home; for I have something particu
lar to tell you.”
“ Indeed,” said Popps ; “ what is it, dear ?”
“ You expect our wedding to take place in three
weeks, don’t you f”
“ To be sure I do.’*
“ Well, I am sorry to disappoint you, but I must do it.
I cannot marry”—
“ Good Leavens ! Clarissa, what are you saying f”
“ Don’t interrupt me. I mean I can’t marry just yet
awhile—not for some months to come.”
“ vVby, Clarissa, what’s the meaning of all this ? You
gave me your positive promise, and said nothing stood in
the way—l am all ready, and worried with waiting—why
do you put it oft', dear ?”
“That you will have to excuse my telling you. I
have a good reason for it—l have thought the matter
over well —and my mind is made up. Will that satisfy
you ?”
Popps mused awhile. Clarissa kept her fan going.
Finally, Popps spoke:
“ No, Clarissa, it won t satisfy me. You postpone our
wedding and refuse to tell me why. If you have a rea
son for it yon ought to let me know it, and maybe it
would satisfy me. But I won’t be satisfied without the
reason."
“ Well then, you’ll have to remain unsatisfied. I tell
you J have a reason, and a good one—what more do you
want?"
“ I see how it is—l have courted you too long—l didn’t
strike while the iron was hot —you are tired of me.
Well, if that is your wish, go ahead.”
“ Mr. Popps, you're a dunce—you’re a fool!’’
“ Maybe I am, and maybe I ain’t," said Pepps, rising
with his temper, “ but this I’ll say, Miss Clarissa, if you
don't tell me why you postpone the wedding for a few
months, you may postpone it forever, so far as I am con
cerned. Tell me, Clarissa ; else I swear that when I
leave this house to night, I will never set foot in it again !”
“ Well, you'd better go !"
“ Very well. Good night, Miss Cooler.”
Popps reaches the door : Clarissa Allowed him ; and
seeing that he was in earnest, cried to him to stay.
Popps came back —Clarissa put her head on hia shoulder
and cried. Popps melted. Popps spoke first.
“ Well, dear, what’s the matter ?"
“ Ob, I think you’re so unreasonable and cruel t indeed,
indeed, 1 have a good cause lor putting off our marriage—
but J cannot, 1 must not tell you what it is. Oh, dear
Mr. Popps, excuse me!” And she cried a little more.
“ Well, Clarissa, tell me this. Do you put it off to
please your father or any of your relations ?”
“ No—they know nothing of my determination."
“ Do you put it off on account of any thing concerning
me ?"
“ No.”
“ Do you want to go any where, or do any thing par
ticular, that will keep you from marrying ?”
“ No."
• In God’s name, then Clarissa, what do you want?
Why keep me in this suspense ?
4 ‘ *>h, Mr. Popps, you're so cruel! Maybe I ought to
tell you the obstacle—but I can t, indeed I can’t.”
“ Just as you please, Miss Cooler.” And Popps again
picked up bis hat.
“ Oh, Mr. Popps, pray don’t go—don't go yet awhile!”
“ Then, Miss Clarissa, tell me the obstacle."
Popps was evidently determined. Clarissa put her
head on his shoulder, laboring under a strange agitation.
Several times she essayed to speak. At length the
breathed into his ear these fearful words :
“ Oh, Mr. Popps, whenever I think #f our wedding
day it gives me suck a palpitation of the heart"—
Well ?”
ts j nm fearful of the conscquencti.
“ Fearful of the consequences 1 “Why, Clarissa, what
under heavens do you meac J
“ Why, Mr Poppa, you hav’nt read the Chronicle &
•Sentinel to-day, or you would have seen Dr. Bliss’ article
on ’Palpitation.’”
We left Popps reading the article referred to, which i*
in to-day’s paper, in another column.

AUGUSTA MARKET^
Weekly Report Tuesday, P. M.
COTTON.— The market during the week has exhibited
a very fair demand, with steady prices, at which all of
fered was readily sold. The transacts, however,
have not been large, owing to the limited quantity on
sale. Ihe market closes tirm, with a good demand at
the following rates :
Lower Grades 9® 10
Good Middling to Middling Fair— 5111
GROCERIES.—We note rather more activity iu the
Grocery trade during the past week than for some time
past, though the business has not fairly opened. Wo
note an advance in Bagging and Rope, and a decline in
Salt and Gun Powder. Other leading articles remain
as previously quoted, and we refer to our quotations for
the current rates.
PROVISIONS.—The Bacon market has declined dur
ing the week, and we have altered our quotations ac
cordingly. In Flour we note no change.
GRAlN.—Several large lots of Com have changed
hands during the week at 75 cents, with the sacks, which
is now the current price. The stock in store is about
30,000 bushels. White Wheat has slightly advanced.
No Rye in market
EXCHANGE —Checks on the North are sold by the
Banks at i cent prem.
FREIGHTS. —The River is again quite low, and is
barely navigable for boats of light draught with small

Extract of Letters by the Persia.
HAVRE, Aug. 30. — Cotton. —At the close of our pre
vious circular the aspect of our market was rather dull,
but prices were of a steady character. On Wednesday
rather more demand was manifested, and about 700 bale’s
wero run off, and on the following day 1,000 bales chang
ed hands. Friday being a holiday no business was trans
acted, and on Saturday we wero put in possession of ad
vices to the 6th inst., per steamer Persia, via Liverpool;
but the accounts previously received from England be
iug not encouraging, the sales at the close of last week
amounted to only 850 bales, but without any alteration
iu price.
Tlio opening of the present week under the influence
of the dull tenor of the intelligence from Liverpool was
rather more devoid of spirit than before only 800 bales
having found purchasers, and yesterday not more than
1100 bales were disposed of at the quotations undermen
tioned.
The total sales since the date of our preceding report
may be written at 4,356 bales, a daily average of 800 do.;
and as the supplies do not exceed 86 bales our stock is
now reduced to 96,500 bales.
LIVERPOOL, Aug. 22 — Cvtton —The demand by the
Trade has been limited throughout the week, whilst for
export there has been a good enquiry for the better
classes, aud holders of Amcricau, though not pressing
sales, have been obliged to concedo 1-lGd *>' tb in the
lower grades. Brazil aud Egyptian are difficult of sale,
and the latter are irregular aud rather easier iu price;
but for Surat the enquiry is still good at full rates. —
Speculators have taken 1880 American and 460 Surat ;
and there are reported for export 5120 American, 600
Pcruam, 460 Maeceio, 90 Egyptian, and 3060 Surat.—
The market to-day continues dull, without change in
drice; sales 6000 bales, of which 1000 are reported for
export and speculation.

A. T. Mann, Maj. A. G. NAGEL, of Edgefield District,
S. C., to Mrs. L. E. HALL, of Macon, Ga.
obituary'
DENNIS A. BELL was born in Burke county, Geor
gia, June sth, 1835, and died on the 28th July, near Wes
ton, Webster county, Ga., aged 21 years 1 month and 23
days.
In the death of this amiable young man, a large circle
of youthful companions has lost a kind and agreeable as
sociate, that will not soon bo replaced ; and alas ! his
fond and devoted parents, have sustained an irrepara
ble loss, fie had been the subject of religious impres
sions from his childhood ; and while yet a child, “thought
on his ways, and turned his feet to the testimony of the
Lord.” He united with the Methodist Episcopal Church
at the age of twelve years, and from that time until his
death, continued an exemplary member of the same.
“ He remembered his Creator in the days of his youth
and through all his life, while mingling and intermingling
with his young companions, he ever maintained that
high and amiable character that every young man should
possess. He was ever ready to lend a helping hand to
all objects, whose end was the promotion of his country’s
interest and the good of mankind. He will be fondly re
membered by many as a zealous member and advocate
of the Cadets of Temperance. He also, in after davs,
joined with the Sons of Temperance to help forward this
glorious cause, in which he always maintained a high de
portment. At a later period, he became equally at
tached to the Order of the “ Knights of Jericho;” where
he always manifested that brotherly regard to its mem
bers that is due from one to another. In all these organi
zations, he held high and responsible stations, tilling
them with honor to himself and credit to those he repre
sented—ever keeping an eye to the interest of the cause
in which he was engaged. In disposition, he was amia
ble, kind, and affectionate; devotedly fond of his parents,
and always cheerful to abide their will without any dis
sent whatever. In fact, his parents’ will seemed to be
his, as he was always ready to concur in their wishes.
Though his sufferings in his last illness were severe, yet
giace enabled him to bear his affliction with Christian
fortitude. In reviewing his past life, he could see that
he had not lived as he wished to do ; yet, in this critical
and trying moment, he felt that the grace of God was suffi
cient for him. In his last moments he was calm and
serene; calling, one by one, his parents, relatives and
friends to his bedside, exhorting them to meet him in
Heaven ; especially did he try to impress upon the
minds of some of his young companions the importance
of living the life of the Christian, “ that they might die
the death of the righteous.” He then calmly fell asleep
in Jesus. Thus has passed away, one loved and es
teemed by all who knew him. He is gone, but his pa
rents and friends, though heart-broken, sorrow not as
those without hope, but look forward to the time when
they shall meet again, where
“ The wicked cease from troubling,
And the weary are at rest;
And we shall reign with Jesus,
Eternal ages blest.”

ADVERTISEMENTS.
DISEASE OF THE HEART.
PALPITATION.
ONE of the most distressing <!!.-• ea cs that fl« hi. be ir
to. A persou subject to it, is liable to an attack at
any moment, whether lying, sitting, or walking. Its at
tack is sudden, and often times without any premonition
whatever, and too oftentimes without any appreciable
cause, and the relief that can be offered to tho poor pa
tient during the paroxysm, is exceedingly unsatisfactory,
for but little can bo done that will in any way give much
relief.
This, of all other diseases that 1 have attempted lo
treat upon, is the most important, not only from its being
often times of so difficult removal, but from its being • >
exceedingly liable to run into that structural
di.seaso of tho heart, for which there .i no eu > , and
would the spacebc allowed me, I should h i in duty
bound to sufferinghumanity to make Uai of several eo}
umns iu this papc\ that 1 might throw all the light
possible for me to do, upon this all important disease,
its causes, indications of cure, treatment, See Ac, in the
hope that 1 might be the humble means of awakening
suiferers with this disease to a true sc,so of their | - rii
ous condition, and stimulate them t> U .-<• not.. • iu d
tag some mode of treatment that would throw ..ffthat
condition of the system which is the cause of tin* l'uuo
tional derangement.
There are two kinds of Palpitation, viz: that proceed
ing from organic disease of the heart, or disease ..j it
muscular substance, ami functional or nervous palpita
tion. For the former, there is no cure; it is often pal
Hated, but never cured. For the latter, although all
treatment has been by some of the highest autlmritius
discarded, and discat tied because (as they -ay) so little, if
any, success attends any remedial eifort tl .it r.i. . bo
made. Yet, a well direett d treatment is not only of mo -t
■signal benefit, but will effect a cure, providing the grand
cause of the functional derangement be well understood,
and a treatment instituted with direct reference to it
So far from discarding all treatment, it certainly should
receive the closest investigation mid scrutiny, aud c\ cry
possibleexortiou should be used towards its removal, Jest
its continuance should bring about that structural organic
disease of the heart, which in niue cases out oi ten, i • the
result of prolonged, uncured, and uncared for function
al disease.
Organic, or that incurable disease of tho muscular
structure of the heart, is produced, as 1 have already h.i id,
by the nervous or functional disease of that organ, and
from this fact, the functional disease should have every*
remedial attention paid to it, iu the hope that cro it be
too late, a treatment may be instituted that will do away
with the cause of the functional, and thus prevent the oe
currcuce of the organic. And, now what is the cause of
nervous palpitation or functional disease of the heart f
But, before answering this question, let us see what are
generally* the accompanying symptoms. The pulse,
gene .ally, arc from 90 to clean, roil aud
swollen—irritation and redness about the tonsils—bowels
generally very irregular—headache ami tin*lied iu-e -
tenderness at the pit of the stomach—acidity and flatu
leuce —sleep uurefreshing—depiession of spirits of hours’
duration —feet cold —skin highly* sensitive to changes in
the atmosphere, Ac. Ac., giving the most positive assu
rance of a highly congested and irritated mucus mem
brane of tho digestive organs. The cause then of tier
vous palpitation or functional derangement of the heart,
has its origin in disease of the stomach and digestive or
gans, the removal of which Is of the first important o, for by
so doing we cure the functional disease, ami steer our pa
tienl clear of that terrible structural organic disease of tho
heart, for which there is no cure, and but very little relief
frem palliatives. And, by the by, I will lu re take occa
sion to remark, for the benefit of sufferers, that as a gene
ral thing where functional disease is stubborn aud of dis
ficult removal, physicians are too apt to impute their ill
success to the disease having passed into tho structural
organic, disease; and so I w ould say to all, be not dis
mayed, for your physicians may be mistaken, and you
may yot be relieved by timely application to proper
remedies.
Tho true indication of treatment then, is tho removal
of tho highly irritated and congested condition of tho
digestive organs; and If there is any disease requiring
the most particular selection in remedies, this most cer
tainly is one, not only because most valuable time may
be lost hi the taking of improper remedies, but the ex ela
tion of remedies not consistent with tho true comlir :ou of
the stomach, may increase still more the di tease and l.a
ton ou the structural orgauic disease. The remedy
above all others, tbr this disease, is “ BUNS’ DY.Nl'Ei*
TIC REMEDY”—a remedy in w hich the most implicit
confidence may he placed, for, if taken closely according
to directions, together with living up to all the accompa
nying directions, so far as circumstances will permit, it
will most assuredly effect a permanent and speedy cure.
To all subject to this disease, 1 would say get this modi
cine atouce, aud lose no time in placing your system un
der its remedial iullueucc, for every day lost brings you
just so much nearer to that incurable disease -organic
disease of the heart. W. W. BLISS,
