ttight here, permit me to give you Colonel Gar
i.Mill’s explanation of .Squatter Sovereignty.—
He made a speech to the people of this county,
iu Franklin, two weeks since, and his explana
tion of Squatter Sovereignty to an intelligent
audience was, “to go lo Kamos ami squat sud

the true definition of it, be ought to be taken olf the
♦ rack. Let the Democrats of the 4th Dist. run Home
man wl»oknows better, (he should read Douglas'
►speech on Trumbull's amendment,) and if lie does
know better, he has presumed too much on the
iguorauce of the got d people of Heard, and as sure
as November conies,' they will repudiate Gartrell,
sqHaitiug suddenly, alien svjfrag’e and all , and
cast their votes for the purest patriot living, the
only man that Ims ever been found to tell the abo
litkmists at the North that they were guilty of moral
treason against the government—and he too, a
candidate fur the highest office in the gift of the peo
ple of any nation—he ia the friend of his country,
and are not the (reducers at the South, of Isis fan
fame, equally guilty with their Northern brethren in
the love of squatter sovereignty, alien suffrage and
abuse of Millard Fillmore. Hut it is enough that
Southern Democrats who support Buchanan and the
Kansas bill, do it with their eyes open —they have
been as bitter as any set ot men in denounc
ing squatter sovereignty, and swearing in their
wrath that the Kansas bill contained uo such doc
trine. They are left defenceless ; Douglass says it
is ho, Cass says so, |Stephens says so, Hillyer and
all others say so; and now what are Democrats go
mg to do, shut their eyes and swallow it down,
In-cue and all . If so, proveto be arsenic to
the peace of this government. After all their de
Lunciations and denials of it, I ask how can any
man of them sum up courage enough to swallow
such a pill ? All the horn it men who think for
themselves, and vote for principle are just as sure
to repudiate it as the election in November gives
them a elmuce to do so—the ball is in motion—our
cause is onward and upward, and so sure as the
time comes Georgia is just that sure to cast her vote
for Fillmore aud Oonelson. —Afore uuou.

Mr. Jenkins mid ilie JllsNotiri Compromise.
The main objection of Mr. Jenkins to Mr. Fillmore
in his lute letter is, that Mr. Fillmore has condemned
the repeal of the Missouri Compromise, and “the
emphatic condemnation of a legislative act justifies
the expectation that he whoso condemns, will con
cur in and approve its repeal.”
Without stopping to inquire into the reasonable
ness of such an inference, let us see if Mr. Jenkins
has not exposed liimsc If to the same imputation, and
if Mr. Fillmore stands condemned where will he
appear l
After referring to the Republican and American
parties, he proceeds to say :
•‘But there is a third contestant in the field—the
ancient inur-ribbed Democracy. There it stands,
armed and equipped, cap-a-pie, with imposing
/nien, but with unnumbered sins upon its hoary
lieu*?.- Prominent among these, in my humble opin
ion i« *hat of having brought our present t roubles
upon us, i> inordinate indulgence of its lust for
territorial fio/'uisirion, glazed ever by the fallacious
protrusion of '“itendinif the area of freedom—thr
denmgogues hobb." » Ild the filibuster's apology. ’
Now where the essential difference between
Sir. Fillmore » condemnation of the repeal of the
Missouri Compromise,and Sir. Jenkins condemna
tion of the Democratic, policy I
Mr. Fillmore condemned the repeal ot the Slip
sunri Compromise becauie it has been the piolific
source of the troubles which now all bet tbe country
—to use his own language, “it has been the Pan
dora's box of our evils. 1 ’
Mr. Jenkins says the Democratic party lias “un
numbered sins upon its hoary head. Prominent
among these, (sins) In his humble opinion, is that
.that is the sill) of having brought our present trou
bles upon us,” &o.
1 uti mutely connected with the policy of the Derno
■tlc party in relation to the Territories, is the re
in alo f the Missouri Compromise, and but for that
rep, al • ■>l' r present troubles would not be upon its.”
Now wii'.' he tell us how these “present troubles
were brought .'tport US I ' if not by the repeal ot the
Missouri Compromise ’
And the bringing of these evils upon us', b '- says
is one of the prominen t sins of the Democratic ," al '
tv. Well, if it be a s.'u, was it not wrong 7 Cun
Mr. Jenkins approve of thAt which is “a sin,” and
which “Ims brought our present troubles upon usf”
Mr. Fillmore lias condemned the repeal of the
Missouri Compromise for the same reason—because
it is the Paudora’s box of tho evils which artiiet the
country.
'‘The head and front of his offending
I rath this extent—no more.”
Wherein does his condemnation of the policy
of the Democratic party differ from that of Mr. Jen
kins t If it be wrong in Mr. Fillmore to condemn
the repeal of the Missouri Compromise, because it
has let 100 *e a multitude of evils upon the country,
where does Mr. Jenkins stand, when his comdenn
tion of the policy of the Democratic party, em
bracing. as it does, the same measures, is equally
emphatic f And if, because of his condemnation
of that repeal, it be legitimate to infer that Mr.
Fillmore would favor the restoration of the com
promise line, by wlmt process of reasoning can
Mr. Jenkins be exempted from the operation of the
same rule ?
Let the rule work both ways, and if it condemns
one, let the other share the same fate. But, I will
exempt both from the operation of the rule, and in
doing so. I will tak»- occasion to say that Mr. Jen
kins has not manifested his usual firmness iu his
late letter. He has shown an evident haste to jump
to a conclusion without premises to support it.—
Nothing—not a word or syllable has been uttered or
written by Mr. Fillmore to authorize the inference
th t he is in favor of rest ring the Compromise line,
and nothing has mortified the old friends of Mr.
Jenkins more than that such a charge should, under
the present circumstances, come from him.

U.YYSVILLR, Sept. 13,1 Sod.
Mr. Editor: —Allow me, through your column?,
t«» correct an error with regard to my remarks at the
Appling meeting of 28th ult. The error occurs in a
ft port for the Constitution a list, signed “Pie Crest,”
and is in these words : “He (I contended that the
(Kansas) bill gave Indians, negroes and mestizoes,
the right to say whether we should have slavery in
the Territory, and his proof was that the right of
suffrage was given to the people of the Territory.”
This statement is absolutely and wholly untrue. I
did say that I was opposed to the Kansas bill, for
the reason that it failed io guarantee to jhe people
of the South their Const, ; ttional right to remove
to any part of the public domain, with whatever
property they chose to carry. 1 contended !hat.
while the advocates of the bill professed that it gave
us equality in tbe whole Territory, covered original
ly by the Missouri Compromise, it really removed
t.ie restriction only from a small part of such Ter
ritory, to-wit : Nebraska-Kansas, and in that it not
only failed to guarantee me iny constitutional rights,
but absolutely and in words deuied me all protec
which 1 might have claimed under the old
Louisiana laws. I contended that the only princi
ple of the bill ever endorsed by the Georgia Legis
lature. and by the American Council at Macon last
year, was the principle of Cong res sunat no n-inter
iwfioti. That that principle was correct, aud had
always been endorsed.by South, but that
the other principle of tha bill—intervention by the
people of the Territories, while in a Teiiitorial con
dition. was worse than the Wffmot Proviso, and had
received the emphatic condemnation of the whole
South—Whigs, Democrats ai d Americans—until
the Cincinnati Convention had endorsed th#* Kan- I
sas bill in ids entirety , when the professed Demo- J
t iacy of the whole South, including Georgia, wheel- j
ed iuto line and took to their embrace for the first
time that odious principle of the bill, squatter sove
rciguty. which, according to their Northern allies,
would as effectually exclude us from every foot of
Territory as the Proviso itself. And I further said
that that principle of the Dili, as explained and in
terpreted by the Cincinnati fplatfonn. was the most
odious and most dangerous principle ever offered
tn the consideration of our people, because the
Platform (not the Kansas bUL* allowed the ques
tion of slavery iu the Territories to be deci
ded. as one of their resolutions positively de
declared, by the “ fairly expressed will of a majors- *
■y of actual residents.'’ 1 did contend then, as 1
shall evei contend, that said resolution of the Plat
form (not the Kansas bill,) gave my rights and the
rights oi every Southern man iuto the keeping of
Indians. Negroes, Muiattoes, Mestizoes, Mexic ans.
N:O.. should we even acquire Mexico and Central
America, and therefore if the principle of the Kansas
bill, with this principle of the platform euperadded,"
were to be tho settled policy of the country, we
could never get another inch of slave territory. I
neverHiid and never could subscribe to ?uch princi j
p!es. They had never been endorsed by tbe (|SW (
gia Legislature, nor by the American party in Gcor
gia, or elsewhere t and I did not bfelievethe-, honest
masses of the Southern D- ever would en
dorse them, however well they might suit Buchan
an. Douglas, Shields, Wright, Van Bnren Co,
In conclusion. I would say, that it is not ot my own
seeking that lam thus engaged in this contest, but
being in. I have entered fortbo c ampaign, and re»
gardless Ofl'tons m the path. I shall go where dutycalle
me, eycri iu ** the jams nf lions. And whoever
comes bo my native count/, or to any point in stri
king distance of mo. with u. challenge to the Ameri
can party to free cisensnon, I ehall meet *.;in or
them, determined to say what I can and do what I
ought, for the cause of truth and justice, .or my
c nintrv end mv standard bearers, I-din ore and
Donelson. Ami, regardless of “my equals, I
hereby invite my friend, “ Pic Lrust. ’ to name a
day and place io his and my county, of Lincoln, and
if aii vc, I promise to meet him and "a few more
of the same sort, on therr oicn terms, and tingle
handed. Yours, faithfully,

every description. Know Nothings and old-fine
Federalists, can now get admittance into it without
the smallest sacrifice of principle or change of
opinion. Formerly it required some moral courage
for one to leave his old paity brethren with whom
shoulder to shoulder, he Lad fought many a bard bat
tle. and then to draw the sword of political warfare
against them. A man of nerve and spirit could do it.
For it had to be done openly, fearie&dy and entirely
without any mental reservations, equivocations, de
nunciations or protestations. lie had to strip him
self to the skin, cast away his old garments, and ap
pear at the first meeting, armed and equipped, and
answer to his name in full-drens uniform. Such was
tie ordeal he had to pass through, in the days of
Jackson Democracy, before the party took the
“dry rot.” That disease, like competition in every
thing, La 3 worked wonderful changes in its original
organization, and effected a complete alteration in
its rules, discipline, and system of government. In
these days no experience is needed, no repentance i
required, no pledges demanded, no change in politi
cal sentiment exacted. Every variety and color of
principles, that the ingenuity of man can invent, or
the necessity of the times call for, has been manu
factured and ready to be delivered in large or small
quantities, to suit the taste and wants of the most
fastidious and destitute. From every section and
quarter of the Union, nothing is heard but one uni
versal aud harmonious cry, “all things are ready,
come one ! come ail!! ’ If you don’t like the plat
form, kick it, but take aud praise the candidate. If
you don’t prefer Mr. Buchanan, vote for him any
how, and curse the party. If you don’t like to be
sCc-u coming in the front door, go round, the side
door.? and back-doors are all wide open—eater free
ly and no questions will be asked. Once in a snuff
or two of their political chloroform, makes the new
comers feel as composed, os happy, and as much at
home as if they had been in the party all their lives.
Such are the powerful effects in influencing the
minds and conduct of men, produced by this newly
invented patentcompound Cincinnati platform, auti-
Know Nothing, Old Line Whig Democracy, that it
is almost impossible to keep out ot the parly.
But notwithstanding fill this the facilities that ex
ist and inducements that are offered for joining the
party the easy access to the hearts and affections
of the brotherhood —the cordial welcome that ia
given—the right bund of lull fellowship that is in
stantly extended—there are some who are too mod
est to accept of these generous overtures from their
old foes, and too polite to leave their old friends
under the present and trying circumstances with
out giving to the world some good and sutficjpnt
reasons for so doing. These reasons are then pre
sented ; but the Democrat replies, we desire no
reasons—they often do our party more harm than
good—all we want are your vote#—we expect to
elect our candidate by voting for him. But, gentle
men, continues the Democrat, since you are about
to make a mighty change in your political position,
one that will astonish everybody—none more so
than ourselves—that will be lusting and never to be
forgotten—if it will quiet your own agitated feel
ings and give peace to your own minds, bring forth
your reasons—we will publish and endorse them,
and declare most solemnly that you are the rarest
and purest specimen of patriotism that we have had
the good fortune to meet with during the campaign.
Old Line Whig, we will call you a modern Ilriitus —
ready to part from old aud long tried friends, near
and dear party associations, and even to sacrifice
yourself for the good of your country in general
aud the Democratic party ia particular. And you,
Know Nothing, we are ashamed to look you in the
face, after all the unmitigated abuie, injustice,
injury, calumny, indignation and wrath that it was
our greatest pleasure and joy to pour upon your in
nocent aud unoffending head. We will weep tears
of sorrow aud repentance until the election, to wipe
out the charges t hat stand recorded against you and
your party, of being “midnight assassins” and “dark
lantern conspirators.” Such noble and magnani
mous acknowledgements are perfectly overwhelm
ing, and reasons the most conclusive for deserting
Air. Fillmore are forthwith presented to the public
for the benefit of the Democratic party.
Among the many reasons that are assigned by
these new recruits to the Democratic party —for
whoever votes for Mr. Buchanan is thereby aiding
in placing iu power the living embodiment of its
principles, there is one which is all con
troling, all powerful, viz: that Mr. Fillmore can’t
be elected. Who will hesitate to say that this is
the coolest and most knock-down argument, for not
supporting a candidate—who is so justly esteemed,
and who is sincerely admitted to be preferable in
every respect to either of the others—that has ever
beeu offered in the history of parties from the com
mencement of our government down to the present
time. It is a perfect refrigerator, enough to freeze
a salamander. It is a cold, mathematical calcula
tion, made from a point high up in the rat ified re
gions, where the excitement and heat of the con
tests away below, cannot reach or influence the
mind of the all-absorbed calculator.
From this advantageous position, certain rules
have beeu established which will do away with all
doubt as to the result of elections hereafter. It was
by this rule that Mr. Fillmore’s fate was decided?
viz : the more friends a man lias tho less chance of
success. Mr. Fillmore has more friends than either
one of the other two candidates ; these friends
will certainly vote against him—therefore, he can
not be elected—“.sic rolo sic jubeo." Two other po
litical axioms have beeu deduced from the above
proposition, which should always govern the con
duct of the voter, and candidate—lst, Always vote

This everlasting lack of votes. How crushing and
paralising it is to the powers and energies of the
strongest and most valiant. But for the want of
votes, so essential to the election of Mr. Fillmore in
particular, for another may be elected without
votes—they would prefer him to all other men in
the country, and stand by him in the day of his tri
umph with garlands to entwine around his victorious
brow. The idea of setting him aside for Mr. Bu
chanan never enters their minds, except when some
bragging, betting Democrat stares them in the face
and swears he can’t be elected—then they quail and
quake for fear. 7 'hey , willingly, treely, and ot their
own accord yield the fight, without making a single
effort to win the battle, they standby with folded arms
and see the man the country so much needs sacrific
ed—they give up Mr. Fillmore, that good man, safe
man, honest man, tried man, faithful man, national
man. Constitution, Union-loving man, who gave
peace and happiness to the country once, and who
has the moral power to do it again—that man who
had the courage of an old Homan to tell those Black
Kcpublicans to their faces, that they were traitors
to the Constitution, audthat their course wool*! lead
to disunion —give up such a man as this for J aines Bu
chanan, the man who went to Europe and could not
settle our difficulties, and who came home to look
after the Presidency—who has been tried and never
distinguished himself in anything—who is the can
didate of the party that has brought all the distur'
bances on the country —an old Federalist, a Tariff
mau. who defeated Mr. Clay, the Ostend Filibuster
the advocate of Squatter Sovereignty, a doctrine
against which the South has always contended as
even worse than the \Yillicit Proviso—oh, never,
never, never. But then, what’s the use of tryiug to
elect Mr. Fillmore. These men have gone out and
mixed with the people, the rank and file, bone and
smew of the laud, its defence in time of peace as
well as in war —and they return with the report that
ti e young men, the warm hearted, and die game
sons of the soil, who go in and never back out—arc
all going for Buchanan—that the old men who do
them own voting, won’t be convinced that Mr. Fill
more was ever the President of these United States.
These men have made speeches and tried to en
courage action and produce an enthusiasm in favor
of Mu laud Fillmore, but the people cried out
for Democratic, orators —they have endeavored to
circulate documents, hut the people would read uc
tiiing but Democratic newspaper* —they have dis
covered that the merchants, mechanics, capitalists,
men of property and those who were trying to get
some, were all tired of peace —they wanted civil war
atid forcignwar. disunion at home, and a grand filli
bustering burst up with the world at large, and the
rest of mankind, and to get all this, they were deter
mined to elect Mr. Bu CHINA n. Danger is ahead, and
the ship of State is drifting fast into a vortex of ruin.
Thev are sorry for it. Mr. Fillmore could save it.
but lie cannot be elected. In view of all this, and
the people being on the big side, can it be expected
that they will allow themselves to be left alone to the
mercy of the enemy, when the ark ofsafety is so near
at hani Cnquestionably not—duty and self-preser
vation require them at once to surrender in hopeless
•despair, aud to get everybody else to do so as soon
as possible—that, instead of "standing firm and bat
tling it out to the last, even amid the vanquished
and the slain, against the enemies of the Union, led
ou by Millard F illmore, the noble champion of

.Hr. Toombs in Ellrert.
EIueRTON, Sept. 11,1856-
Ms.. Editor The ablest man, if not tbe great
i est demagogue in Georgia, made a speech in this
1 place to day. The arrangement was for Mr. Toombs
to lead off in a speech of one hour, Mr. Akerman, a
resident lawyer of much promise, to reply in one
I hour, and Mr! Toombs to conclude in twenty min
t utes. There was not a very large, though a respec
i table attendance of the people; cot so man},
| though it was Court week, as turned out to hear
Mr. Hill and Mr. Stephens some weeks ago.
Mr. Toombe’ first speech was devoted mainly to a
I vindication of his own consistency. He did not so
I much as allude to the Democratic platform. He
, seemed to feel the necessity of explaining to the old
Whigs of Elbert Low it is that he, the fierce oppo
nent and unsparing denouncer of Democracy is now
a recognized leader of its motley cohorts. He to.d
us that he opposed Gen. Cass in 1848 because ho
knew he was against the South. (He now stands
| side by side with the old Michigander, whooceu
j pies the same position now that he did in 1843.)
' He told us that he attended a Whig caucus
I Washington City in 1841*—that the caucus refused
: to adopt a resolution he offered —whereupon he
h ook the dust off his heels and came out, and that
I he bad never been inside of a Whig caucus since.—
! He seemed to felicitate himself upon this achieve
ment. It Las long been the opinion of some of ns, that
the honorable gentleman was manceuveringtoget out
of the Whig party and to get into the Democratic.
His confessions here only strengthen that opinion.
Our only regret is that he did not openiy avow his
desire as soon as it was felt, and before the Old
Whigs of Georgia had been misled and involved in
confusion and doubt. He was artful enough,, how
ever, to bide his time. He knew it would not do to
make the bolt too abruptly. Like an officer who
makes up his mind to betray his soldiers and carry
them over to the enemy, he conducted the old Whig
guard through intricate defiles and over bogs and
across streams and round and round, far away from
their camp and arms, until the propitious/noment ar
rived to deliver them up to the enemy. And now,
when many of those honest old soldiers of ’ 10, and
’44, and ’4B, feel chafed and chagrined at their Dem
cratic uniforms, he does wisely to try to defend ins
conduct in the premises, and to show them that it
was all from a patriotic love of his country that he
led them off on this wild-goose chase. These old
Whigs still say they are not Democrats, and get
red with rage when you tell them they are ; yet they
voted for a Democratic candidate for Governor, and
are now supporting a Democratic candidate for the
Presidency; they send delegates to Democratic
Conventions, and vote for Democrats for the Le
gislature, and are led and cajoled by a man who
congratulates himself that he has not been in a W big
meeting since 1849—seven years ago! If all this
does not make them Democrats, I would like to
know what would. No—they have wandered a
long distance from the old Whig camp, and if they
ever expect to return to it and put on their old
Clay uniforms, it is high time they had turned
back.
Mr. Toombs also informed us, that he had said in
a speech at this place in 1848, that if Mr. Fillmore
had been the first on the ticket of that year, he
would hesitate long before he would vote for it.—
Nobody here remembers this part of his speech; but
Mr. Toombs says so—and Mr. Toombs is an honora
ble man. He further remarked, that he had de
clared, in a speech delivered at Milledgeville during
the Convention of 1850, that of all the public men
then before the country (from the North) Mr. Bu
chanan was the most nearly identified in sentiment
with the Union men of that body. I was present,
but remember no such assertion as that now- claim
ed to have been made. But Mr. Toombs says so ;
and Mr Toombs is an honorable man.
lie admitted tha( M r - Fillmore was a jus*, mode
rate, honest and upright man, an<j had administered
the government better than he expected. Iloclaim
ed for Mr. Buchanan, however, that he had not
given a vote nor uttered a sentiment for twenty-five
years that was inimical to Southern interests. In
his Texas speech Mr. Buchanan declared his repug
nance, by any act of his, to extending the limits of
the Union over new slave territory, and that he had
at last brought his mind to vote for the treaty of an
nexation, because he believed it wouid bo themeans
of limiting, not extending, the institution of slavery.
In his Sandford letter, written as late as 1848, he
claimed for Congress exclusive power (the Wilmot
Proviso) over the territories. And yet Mr. Toombs
says Mr. Buchanan lias not uttered a sentiment in
twenty-five years opposed to the interests of the
stoutb —and Mr. Toombs is a patriot and an honora
ble man.
Mr. Aketman replied. 11c astonished his friends
by the clearness of his statement, by the boldness
with which ho took his positions, and the ability with
which he maintained them. He earned the war in
to Africa, and read extracts from Mr. Toombs’ cele
brated speech in 1848, denouncing party conven
tions and the Democratic platform, (many of whose
plnuks are incorporated in the present platform up
on which Mr. Toombs stands,) and contrasted his
position and denunciations at that time with his po
sition and pancgerics at this. lie also showed the
impropriety of holding up the Kansas bill as a test
of political orthodoxy. At the North, such men as
Douglas and Cass, with their Democratic followers,
claimed that the bill contained the anti-Southern
principle of Squatter Sovereignty. At the South, it
was vociferously denied that the bill contained any
such principle. ' Mr. Toombs, however, iiad said
that the Kansas bill was the practical application of
the principles of the Compromise of 1850—that he
had sought as a member of Congress to represent
the true interests of Georgia—that he had repre
sented her true interests—and that the people both
of Elbert and of the State had ratified his acts. Mr.
Akerman asked how it was then, that he had allow
ed four years to elapse , (from 1850 to 1854,) and
two new territories to be organized before he thought
of applying the principles of the Compromise. Min
nesota and Washington Territories had been allow
ed to slip through, and had doubtless been voted
for by Mr. Toombs, and yet not one word had he
uttered iu behalf of the practical appliaction to
them of the great principles of 1850. 11 was no an
swer to say, that these bills, or eith r of them, had
been signed by Mr. Fillmore. Mr. Toombs had
first to vote for them before Mr. Fillmore could sign
'them. Besides, the ex President was for adhering
to the Missouri line i whereas Mr. Toombs hid just
said that he understood the legislation of 1850, being
inconsistent with the Missouri restriction, virtually
to repeal it. Why then did he sit quietly by and
not give the South the benefit of this repeal in the
organization of the Territories of Minnesota and
Washington 1 ......
This was a regular “stumper. Mr. Toombs made
no reply—offered no explanation. Ilis attention
was especially called to the point, but lie “remem
bered to forget it,’’ though he had time to deal in
such elegant epithets as “white-livered miscreants”
and “traitors.”
The honorable Senator, in his rejoinder, showed
that he was nettled—“the galled jade winced." He
was, consequently, fierce, denunciatory and decla
matory, but not argumentative. Ho dealt in gener
al statements and assertions, and sought to make
up by abuse what he lacked in argument. He re
iterated his remark made in the Senate, that the
election of Fremont would be a just cause for dis
solving the Union. This sentiment elicited no ap
plause whatever —whether because the audience
entirely assented to, or dissented from it, it does not
become me to say.
It is but just to say, that Mr. Akerman did not
appear as a member of the American partv, but as
an old-fashioned Whig. The discussion will be eon
tined to-morrow in Hart county, and on Saturday at
Uamesville, in Franklin.

TJic American Electing at West Point—
Misstatement* Corrected.
LaGrange, Sept. 14,1856.
Mr Ei? ,tor : —This is !he first time during the
present.'emA thrt I have employed pen or
tongue publicly in .‘He matter of polities. I should
not have obtruded myse."' upon your uot.ee on this
occasion, but to correct some the misstatements
of “Senex,” the correspondent of the Constitution
alist.
The precious document to which I have reference
appeal's in the Weekly Constitutionalist of the 10th
instant, and purports to be an account of the Mass
Meeting of the American party, held at West Point
on the 30th uit.
By his adoption of the non de plume Senex, I
presume he is an old man, although he insinuates
he is not too old to support anything lie may say
(true or false, 1 presume) by the mighty argument
of fisticuffs. It seems to me that age should not
only bring with it hoary dignity, but a sufficiency
of worldly wisdom to know that ‘ truth is mighty
and will prevail.” I propose to illustrate the force
of the above quoted proverb in the course of this
communication.
In the first place, this venerable scribbler says,
“we had hardly reached West Point before there
came thundering after us a long train of half filled
cars.” We admit that if the occupants of the nine
cars (which went down solely to carry passengers to
the meeting) had been laid in like sacks of Sait, tin.
said train might have held a few more ; but as we
were obliged to stand upright, and required breath
ing room, I submit that not only were the insides of
the cars filled full, but the tops of them were not
without a considerable crowd.
He next says “the crowd assembled may be safe
ly estimated within BUO, at least a third of whom
were women and children.” Now, sir, let me tell
vou what is the truth in regal d to the number : a
itieud at my e'.buw counted 872 ladies seated. Now.
according to the calculation of his reverence,
“Senex.” this is but a third of the number, and mv
arithmetic taught me that three times 872 are 2,61 b.
Now substract from this that 872, and we have
1 544 men. But I have more information for the
-old gentleman.” Men equally accustomed to com
paring crowds have agreed upon 4,500 as the num
ber assembled on the occasion in question, and even
those who are disposed to make it out a failure, al
low 3.000. These are the only points which weeon
sider it necessarv to correct in “Senex’s” account.
As for his opinions of the speakers and speeches,
thev are just about as rational and sensible as «he
rest of his letter is veracious.
I close this plain statement of facts with a sugges
tion to-Father Senex.” It is this : rub up your
-Scotch pebbles” better the next time you attend
an American Mass Meeting, and if you don't come
nearer the truth than you did this time, throw them
away and get a new pair. Yours, -more in sorrow
than in anger,” J t'vENis.
American Mass Meeting in America*.
The Mass Meeting at Americas of the friends of
Fillmore and Doselson, on Saturday, the 13th
inst., was attended by at least three thousand per
sons. Stirring addresses were delivered by Hon.
B. H. Hill, Hon. R. P. Trippe, and A. R. Wright,
Esq., which were applauded to the echo. The pros
pects ofthe American party were never more cheer
ing. M
Visitisg Caros and Penmanship. —Some grace
ful specimens are before us of the skill of Mr. Ac

Grand American-Mass Meeting at Nashville.
—The Grand State Mass Meeting will be held at
Nashville (Tenn.l on the 10th October. This will
be one ofthe Grandest demonstrations ever made in
the South. The names of Crittenden, Marshall
Morehead, Clemens, Hilliard and Miller.
are given among the speakers. As the Georgia
Grand State Mass Convention will be held at At

"present will accept the warm invitation, preferred
to them by their brethem in Tennessee, and take
part in the demonstration at Nashville, as Atlanta
is now within H hours' travel of Knoxville.

! the charge being ti uj made, to use Mr. Clay’s words,
i “a specific ik cby a responsible accuser,” he
gfvv it a mod abrupt and indignant denial in a let
[ Ur te the nuhfic, Lt-xington, June UP, 182.,
and agaiu in a speech before he fellow citizens, at
j the*bamc place, shortly after.
I Thereupon General Jackson addressed the public
! otfet his signature, Jated “Hermitage, July 18,”
j and said:
| <n» Gtn. Jickton's Statement.
u Tiie statement contained mmy letter to Mr.
Beveriv, is this: Tha in January, 1325, a member
of Congress, of high respectability, visited me one
morning, and observed —‘he had been informed by
the friends of Mr. Ciay that the Mr. Ad
ams had. made overtures to them, raying, if Mr.
Clay and his friends would unite in uid of tLe elec
tion of Mr. Adams, Mr Clay should be Secretary of
State: that the friends of Mr Adams were urging
as a reason to induce the a ieuds of Mr. Clay to ac
cede to this proposition, that if I was elected Presi
dent Mr. Adams would be continued Secretary jf
State, (inuendo —there would be no room for Ken
tucky ;: that the friends of Mr. Clay stated, the
"W<est did not wish to separate from the West, % aud
if I would say, or permit any of my confidential
friends to say, that in case i was elected Presi
dent Mr. Aduins should not be continued Secretary
of Stab-, by a complete union of Mr. Clay and his
friends, they would put ar. end to the Presidential
contest in one hour ; and he was ol opinion it was
right to fight such intriguers with their own wea
pons.’
“This disclosure was made to me by Mr. Buchan
an, a member of Congress from Pennsylvania, a
gentleman of the first respectability and intelligence.
The evening before he had communicated, substan
tially, the same proposition to Major Eaton, my col
league in the Senate, with a desire, warmly mani
fested, that he should communicate with me, and
ascertain my views on the subject. This he declin
ed doing, suggesting to Mr. Buchanan that he as
well as biinselt, coulu converse with me and ascer
tain my opinion on the matter; though lrorn Lis
knowledge of me he thought he could well conjec
ture my answer—that I would enter into no engage
ments whatever. It was the morning succeeding
this interview, after Mqjor Eaton had objected to
converse with me on the subject, and before 1 had
set out from my lodgings for the Capitol, that Mr.
Buchanan canie to visit me, and when the conver
sati >n I have stated look place. The answer re
turned has already been published, and need not to
be here repeated.
“To be thus approached by a gentleman of Mr.
Buchanan’s high character and standing, with an
apology proffered at the time tor what he was about
to remark to me—one who. as I understood, had al
ways, to that moment, been on familiar and friendly
terms with Mr. Clay, assuring me that on certuiu
terms and conditions being assented to on my part,
then, by a union of Mr. Clay and his friends, they
would put an end to the Presidential contest in one
hour, what other conclusion or inference was to be
made, than that he spoke by authority, either of
Mr. Clay himself, or some of his confidential friends.
The character of Mr. Buchanan, with me, forbids
the idea that he was acting on his own responsibili
ty, or that under any circumstances he could have
been induced to propose an arrangement unless
possessed of satisfactory assurances that, if accep
ted, it would be earned fully into effect. A weak
mind wou.d seldom or ever be thus disposed to act,
an intelligent one never.
“Under all the circumstances appearing at the
time I did not resist the impression that Mr. Bu
chanan had approached me on the cautiously sub
mitted proposition of some authorized person, and,
therefore, in giving him my answer, did request
him ‘to say to AJ?- Clay and his friends,’ what that
answer had been. YVLether the communication
was made to Mr. Clay and his friends, I know
not.”
This statement of General Jackson establishes
that Mr. Buchanan proposed an arrangement to
him by which his friends and those of Clay should
end tile Presidential contest in an hour, by electing
Jackson to the Presidency on the promise of ap
pointing Clay to the Secretaryship of State. This
arrangement, Jackson says Buchanan averred was
right, on the principle of fighting Adam’s friends
with their own weapons.
This conversation Mas at Gen. Jackson’s own
lodgings, and in it Gen. Jackson gave an answer to
the proposition, and requested it should be given to
Air. Clay and his friends.
We tfow ejtrapt the denunciation by Henry Clay
of this respectable member of Congress, who made
this proposition to Jackson. The denunciation was
made in his Lexington speech. Clay did not know
then that it was Buchanan, but of course each word
applied to him, as soon as it M as ascertained that he
was the “infamous proposer.”
Clay's Denunciation.
“If he, (the General) had rendered the ‘ distin
guished member of Congress ’ a little more distin
guished by Distantly order: ng him from his presence
and by forthwith denouncing him, and tiie infamous
propositions he bore, to the American public, we
should be a little better prepared to admit the claims
to untarnish integrity winch lie so modestly puts
forward. But according to his own account, a cor
rupt and scandalous proposal is made to him; the
person [Janies Buchanan] who conveyed it, advises
him to accept It; and yet (hat person still retains the
friendship of Gen. Jackson, who is i*o tender of his
character that hie name is carefully concealed, and
reserved to be he'ca'ier brought font ard as a wit
ness! A man who, if he is a member of the House
of Representatives. is doubly infamous —infamous
for the advice which he gore and. infamous for his
■willingness to connice at the corruption of the body
of which he is a sworn member —is the credible (!)
witness, by whom Gen. Jackson stands ready to es
tablish the corrupt ioa of men, whose characters are
never questioned ”
As Major Eaton is referred to iu Gen. Jackson's
statement, as having been addressed by Mr. Buchan
an on the subject the day previous to their interview,
we copy from his letter to Duff Green, in August,
1826 i
Major Eaton's Statement.
“In January, 1825, a rhw days before it had been
known that Mr. Clay and his friends had declared iu
favor ot Mr Adams. I was r died npu/1 by Mr. Hu
chanan,of Pennsylvania. lie said it was pretty
well ascertained that overt ures were making by the
friends of Mr. Adamson the subject of cabinet ap
pointme.uts ; that Jackson should fight them with
their ou-n weapons. He said the opinion was that
Jackson would retain adama, and thatitwns doing
him injury ; that, the General should state whom
he would make Secretary of Slate, and desired
that I would name it to him. My reply was that
1 was satisfied Gen. Jackson rypuld say nothing on
the subject. Mr. Buchanan then remarked : “Well,
if lie will merely say tiiat lie will not retain Mr. Ad
ams, that will answer.” I replied, I was satisfied
Gen. Jackson would neither say who should nor
who should net he Secretary of State—but that he
(Mr. B.) knew him well, and might talk with him aa
well as I could. Mr. Buchanan then said, that ou
the next day, before the General went to the Sen
ate, lie would call. He did so, as I afterwards un
derstood."
This statement, it will be seen, strongly corrobo
rates Gen. Jackson, so far as the character of the
interview between him and Mr. Buchanan is con
cerned.
We also give here an extract from a letter of
James Buchanan to Duff Green, written in October
1826, in which the writer virtually affirms the truth
of the charge of a bargain between Adams and
Clay i
Mr. Buchanan’s Letter.
At this distance of time I could not if I would,
explain to you all the causes which induced me (o
hold the only conversation I ever held with General
Jackson on the subject of the Presidential election.
It will be sufficient, however, for your purpose to
know that I had no authority from Mr. Clay or his
friends to propose any terms to Gen. Jackson in re
lation to their votes, nor did I make any such pro
position. I trust I would be as incapable of be
coming a messenger on such an occasion as it is
known General Jackson would be to receive such a
message.
“I repeated the substance of this conversation to a
few friends at Washington, one of whom must have
communicated it to you. That person whoever he
may be, is entirely mistaken, iu supposing the sub
ject of it to have been what you allege in your let
ter. 1 must therefore protest against bringing that
conversation before the people , through the me
dium of the Telegraph or any other paper."
The facts are before the world, that Mr. Clay and
his particular friends made Mr. Adams President
and Mr. Clay Secretary of Stale. The people will
draw their own inference from such conduct and the
circumstances connected, with it. judge
of the cause from the effect.
See Colton's Life and Times page 358.
We now pass to the refusal by Mr. Buchanan to
let Gov. Letcher stale what had passed between
Henry Clay and Mr. Buchauan, at an interview at
which Letcher was present. Will the reader here
mark the extreme reluctance of Mr. Buchanan to
have what he did say and do, known to the public ?
To Mr. Duff Green, he protests against his conver
sation with Gen. Jackson being brought before the
public. To Mr. Letcher, he deprecates the publica
tion of his “ private conversation ” with Mr. Clay,
and reminds him of his pledge of secrecy. Secrecy
was his object, because publicity was his exposrre
and disgrace J
In 1844, Mr. Clay found himself sorely pressed
again by the revival of the old slander. Gov. Letch
er, his friend, thereupon sought the privilege of
making public what had occurred at this interview',
but which he was not at liberty jto state without
Buchanan’s permission, he having given the latter
an honorable promise of silence.
letter from Sir. Buchanan to Mr. Letcher.
Lancaster, June H, 1844.
Sly Dear Sir:— I this moment received your very
kind letter, and hasten to give it an answer. I can
not perceive fir hat good purpose it would subserve
Mr. Clay to publish the private and unreserved con
versation to which you refer. I was then his ar
dent friend and admirer; and much of this ancient
feeling still survives, notwithstanding our political
differences since. I did him ample justice, but no
more than justice, both in my speech on Chilton’s
resolutions, and in my letter in answer to General
Jackson.
“ I have not myself any very distinct recollec
tion of what transpired in your room nearly twenty
years ago. but doubtless I expressed a strong wish
to himself' as I bad dene a hundred times to others,
that he might vote for Gen. Jackson ; and if he de
sired it, become his N..:. clary of State. Had he
voted for the Geuernl. in case of his election, I
should most certainly lr-ve exercised any influence
I might have possessed, to accomplish this result,
and this I should have dene fro?n the most disinter
ested, friendly ami patriotic motives.
‘■This conversation of mine, whatever it may
have been, can never be brought home to General
Jackson. I never bad but one conversation with
him on the subject oft-.e then pending election, and
that upon the street, and the whole of it, verbatim
et literatim , when comparatively fresh upon my
memory, was given to'.‘ e public in my letter of
August'. 18-J7. The publication, then, of this private
conversation could serve no ctimr purpose inan to
embarrass me and force me prominently into the
pending contest—which I desire to avoid.
“ You are certainly correct in your recollection.—
• You told me explicitly that you did not feel at lib- .
erty to give the conversation alluded to, and would
not do so under any circumstances without my ex
press permission.’ In this you acted, as jou ever
have done, like a man of honor and principle.”
James Buchanan.
The next memorandum of importance is Henry
Clav’s own statement of this interview. It is to be
found on page 113, v °h L°f Colton s Life and
Times of Henry Clay, and was written for that
work by Henry 'Clay himseit To prove that such
is the fact, we append Mr. Colton s statement:
Mr. Clay’s St atemen t.—Some time in Jamiaary.
eighteen hundred and twenty-five, and not long be
election of President o. the L. nited States bv
the House of Representative*, the Hon. James Bu
chanan, then a member of the House, and after
wards many years a Senator ot the L nited States
from Pennsylvania, who had been a zealous and in
fluential supporter of Gen. Jackson in the preceding
canvass, and was h) enjoji his unbound
ed confidence, called at the lodgings oi Mr. Clay in
the City of Washington. Mr. Clay was at the time
in the room of his onlymessmate m the House, his
intimate and confidential friend, the Hon. R. P.
Letcher, since Governor of Kentucky then also a
a member of the House. Shortly after Mr. Buchan
an's entry into the room* he introduced the subfect
of the approaching Presidential election, and spoke
of the certainty of the election of his favorite, add
ing that he would form the most splendid Cabinet
that the country had ever had. Mr. Letcher asked
how he could have one more distinguished than
that of Mr. Jefferson, in whicirwere both Madison
and Gallatin ? Where would he be able to find
cquallv eminent men ? Mr. Buchanan replied that
-he would not go out of this room for a Secretary of
State," looking at Mr. Clay. This gentleman (Mr.
Ciavt playfully remarked that he thought there was
no timber there tit for a Cabinet officer, unless it
were Mr. Buchanan himself.
“Mr. Clay, while he was so hotly assailed with the
charge of bargain, intrigue and corruption, -during
the administration of Mr. Adams, notified Mr. Bu
chanan of his intention to publish the above occur
rence ; but by the earnest entreaties of that gentle
man, he was induced to forbear doing so.

New York, Tuesday, July i, 1356.
Thus we have seen Gen. Jackson’s assertion that
Mr. Buchanan made propositions to him for a bar
gain between him and Air. Clay, and Gen. Jackson’s
reply thereto,
Here we see thai Mr. Buchanan as distinctly inti
.::au lto Mr, Clay, that Gen. Jackson if elected,
would appoint him (Clay) to the Secretaryship. The
tiuth is, Buchanan seems to have acted, at his own
prompting, a game of duplicity all round, lie
inane Jackson believe that Llav wauled to bargain
with him. and tried to make him believe that it
would be right to do so. He tried to make Clay be
lieve that Jackson would baigiilu with him,* and
completed this wholesale treachery by doing his
best to make the world believe that Clay and
Adams had bargained together for high office ;
and further, lie has refused and still refuses to
allow Governor Letcher’s lips to be unsealed,
with respect to that memorable interview uientioued
above.
We now pass to the correspondence on this sub
ject between Major W.B Lewis of Nashville and
Gen. Jackson. That correspondence took place
only a short time before Gen. Jackson’s death. Ma
jor Lewis was his bosom t oufidential friend, and so
continued to the hour of his death.
The letter from Alajor Lewis was published by
Andrew Jackson. Jr., uud for the purpose of doing
good to Air. Buchanan. It sinks lmn deeper by ex
plaining the cir- umstances to which Gen. Jackson
r ierred. The letter from Gen. Jackson is in Nash
\ ille now, in the band writing of the old hero, and
any one who desires to see, read and examine it, is
invited to do so. The whole letter is published, and
is certified by Messrs. S. D. Morgan, Washington
Barrow, G. M. Fogg, Edwin H. Ewing, John S.
Brten and John Trimble, to be “a true, exact and
correct copy, and that every part of the letter is in
Gen. Jackson’s hand writing.” We copy all of the
letter referring to Air. Buchanan’s share in the in
trigue business.
Major Lac is to Gen. Jackso 1.
Washington, Feb. 17, 1815.
My Dear General :—Your two confidential and
very interesting letters of the 4th and sth inst. have
been received and disposed of as requested. lam
happy to say that lam entirely satisfied, and so is
Mr. Blair, with the gentlemen who it is supposed
will constitute the new cabiuet. Mr. Blair and my
self, both think it doubtful, however, whether Air.
Buchanan will accept upon the terms proposed, (he
should not be appointed unless he does) as he is full
ot the idea, as stated to you in my previous letters,
of being a candidate for the succession. If he
should not accept, I suppose the State Department
will then be offered to Air. Stevenson. With or
without Mr. Buchanan, however, 1 think the cabi
net will be an able one , and fully entitled to, and
doubtless will, receive the confidence of the na
tion.
The truth is, General, I have never had any very
great respect for Mr. Buchanan, arid of late 1 have
even had less than formerly, lie did not come out
upon the subject of that “bargain, intrigue, and cor
ruption” charge upon Alessrs Clav and Adams in
1825, as he ought to have done, and as was expected
ofliim. Besides, I have heard him say , not more
than a month ago, that he did not and never had
believed there was any truth iu the charge. This
occurred at Mr ’s dinner table, and the re
marks were addressed to Judge Mangum. the Pre
sident of the Senate. But having taken place at the
time and place when it did, 1 have said nothing
about it to any one.
Gen. Jackson toMajar Lewis.
[private. Hermitage, Feb. 28, 1845.
Major Wm. B. Lewis,
My Dear Major Your interesting letter of the
17th inst., is received, advising that mine of the Ith
aud .3th had reached you. Before this reaches you
Col. Bulk’s Cabinet will be known, and I am sure
there will no one compose it unless under the terms
1 named to you. Should there be, then Col. Polk
must have changed his mind after he left me. Your
observation a witli regard to Mr. Buchanan are cor
rect. He showed a want, of moral courage iu the af
fair of the intrigue of Adams and Clay—did not do
me justice in the expose he then made, and I am
sun* about that time did believe there was a perfect
understanding between Adams and Clay about the
Presidency aud Secretory of State. This 1 am sure
of. But whether he viewed that there was any cor
ruption in the case or not, I know not but one thing
1 do know, that he w ished me to combat them with
their own weapons—that way to let my friends say
if I was elected, 1 would make Mr. Clay Secretary
of State. This to vie appeared deep corruption, aud
1 repelled it with that honest indignation as 1
thought such corruption deserved,
Before concluding this long senes of statements
we desire to remark that there is nothing in them
*-d, or attempted to be proved, impeaching the
fair fame of Henry Clay’. The issue is between
Andrew Jacks nand James Buchanan,and between
lb ury Clay and James Buchanan.
On the latter issue Buchanan refuses to let Gov.
Letcher speak, aud a just world will at once decide
that Henry Clay 8 statement is on that very ground,
apart from all others, true to the letter.
On the former issue, how stands it ? What does
all this proof establish ? It proves
1. That Mr. Buchanan did propose to Gen. Jack
son, an arrangement, as from Mr. Clay 's friends, by
which Jackson should be elected President and Clay
be appointed Secretary of State.
2. That Buchanan urged such an arrangement as
right.
3. That Jackson refused the proposition, and re
quested Air. Buchanan to convey- that refusal to
(’lay and his friends—a request which Buchanan
did not comply with, for the excellent reason, that
the proposit ion never came from Clay, but from Mr.
Buchanan himself.
4. That Mr. Clay when lie heard such a proposi
tion had been made, denounced it as “scanaalous.”
and its prosper (Mr. Buchanan) as “doubly infa
mous” and “corrupt.’'
5. That Gen. Jackson is corroborated by Major
Eaton in his statement, us far us Mr. Buchanan’s
proposition was concerned.
6. That Mr. Buchanan was very unwilling to have
the public know of his conversation with Gen. Jack
son, and protested against its publication, just as he
afterwards protested against the publication of the
particulars of his interview with Mr. CluyandMr.
Letcher.
7. That at the very same time that Air. Buchanan
was thus making proposals to Gen. Jackson as from
Mr. Clay, he was also virtually- making proposals to
Mr. Clay from Gen. Jackson; these proposals are
given to the world by Mr. Clay himself in his own
hand writing.
8. That Mr. Buchanan after having tried to make
the world believe in 1826, that Clay and Adams had
made an infamous bargain about c(Hce, confessed in
1845 to Maj. Lewis that lie never lmd believed there
was a word of truth iu the charge.
11. That Gen. Jackson contradicts this most ex
plicitly ; says that Buchanan did believe it; and
wanted him to make use of the same weapsons, that
is, to bargain with Mr. Clay for the Presidency and
Secretaryship. .Jackson was indignant at Air. Bu
chanan's conduct; stigmatized the p roposal as
“deep corruption,” and has left this stigma jo ver his
own signature.
Now it should be remembered that Buchanan has
publicly acquitted Air. Clay of authorizing or hav
ing any knowledge of the overtures he made to
Gen. Jackson and has also acquitted Gen. Jackson
of any participation in his overtures to Air. Clay.—
The issue is between Jackson and Buchanan. Did
the latter make corrupt proposals to the former, at
the very time that he was trying to make Air. Clay
believe Jackson would bargain with him / Above
is the proof on the subject; and unless Andrew
Jackson is a falsifier, James Buchanan acted a most
corrupt and disgraceful part Those who believe
that the old Hero aud .Sage did not lie about this
matter, cannot, we should suppose, support James
Buchanan!
And now what in conclusion, is the defence made
iu behalf of Air. Buchanan. Jackson is in his grave,
aud the dead lion is no longer feared. Clay has gone
to his rest, with a people’s love and gratitude sing
ing requiems over his grave ; and even those who
hated and persecuted him are forced to silence, if
not to praise, because the votes of old-line Whigs
are very desirable objects to gain. And so what
defence do they set up ?
A portion of the Anti and Democratic presses
contend that Buchanan did perfectly right, and
made but legitimate proposals, and adopted but
usual party tactics. To such we leave the indig
nant language of Jackson: “It was deep corruption,
and I repelled it with the honest indignation it de
served.”
From the Columbus Ewjnirer.—Seris No. 1.
To the Conservative .National Men of all Par
ties.
I propose to give, briefly us possible, my reasons
for voting for Millard Fillmore for the next Presi
dent. In doing this, I fear I may draw down upon
myself the murmurings of some. I fear so the more
because lam a Minister; but I think 1 have discov
ered enough to satisfy me that after all the boasted
declarations of some, in favor of freedom of opinion,
that there is a good deal of burnt uggery in most of
such declarations. For many years I think the
practical working of political policy, both in the Na
tional and State administrations, has been a flat de
nial of this popular principle. According to the
opinions and practice of our most renowned democra
cy itself, there is no amount of good character or
patriotic reliability that could either get an office or
keep one under any late Administration in either
department, if he held any political views upon his
own account. He must mount a party platform,
and swear fealty to it, even in general issues—thus
making the political power of the country the power
of a party /
I have long believed that there is no worse state
of things ever happened to civil society than that
which exists in a democratized republic, when par
ty domination reaches that point in moral treason,
where rather than let party power go, party leaders
will carry an election by illegal votes. And yet I
am perfectly satisfied that tins is one of the chief
reliances in every place where the love of party
power has become a r uling passion. Does any one
ask me what party I mean ! I answer, any party
timt would rather triumph by the benefit of an im
pure vote than be beaten by the decision of a pure
and independent ballot box. Thus it will be seen at
once, that while I am just as rigid a republican in
my politics as I am a Methodist m my religion, j am
not, and never can be, a democrat. The difference
between republicanism and democracy will be
shown hereafter.
The delicacy of my position, as I have already
intimated, arises from my being a Minister. But
uiy being a Minister, and feeling as I have always
felt, that I could not be a politician consistently,
has never at any time led me to believe that 1 was
not a citizen —an interested citizen—of my State
and country. lamin my heart's best feelings, an
incorruptible American patriot. As such I w r rite, I
do not intend to say or do anything That can be ex
cept to by any one, unless it fie that part of my fel
low-citizens who preach freedom of opinion and
then denounce every man who holds any national
views contrary to those which have been written
out bv a party Convention , as ligatures which are
to tic th- peuy together, until the next coapering
season comes round. My soul is too free ever to en
ter into leading strings, which demand obedience
to party dictation. I must vote upon independent,
conscientious grounds, or not at all. It is upon this
principle that 1 now' ar t. Mere motives of policy
will not do for me. I vote in view of sound moral
principle, and leave all to God.
V There will be a series of these articles, in which
my opinions will be modestly laid before the coun
try, tmd every' paper that will fill up an empty place
with them will deserve my thanks.

New York for Fillmore—-Unparalleled Gath

The greatest rally, says the New York Express
of the 13th iust., any political party ever had in
New York, was held on Friday night in Union
Square, by the Americans of this city, under the di
rection of the Central Committee.
At half past seven, exactly, Dodworth’s band took
their places at the main stand under the railings of
the park, opposite the equestrian statue. At this
moment the coup (Tail was very imposing. There
were four stands erected. On the Fourth Avenue
was the stand of the Young Men’s American Union
Club decorated witli the banner of the Association and
several stands of national colors. On Union Place,
near the Union Place Hotel, was another stand, oc
cupied by the Eighth Ward Clubs, and the fourth,
used by the National Club, the great “unsold”—on
Broadway, to the right of the main stand. All
around the open space were stationed flaming tar
barrels, whicli threw a superb light over the whole.
On each of four omnibuses were erected oue of
Professor Grant’s Calcium lights, which made eve
rything as bright as day. On the Fourth avenue,
to.tlie left of tne main stand, a party of cannoneers,
under the direction of a committee of the Central
Club, fired guns at intervals of half a minute.—
From every part of the ground rockets and roman
candles were seut up in showers, and minor fire
works were burned in unlimited quantities on every
side.
At a quarter to eight the whole open space around
the stands, and for long ways down 4th street, the
4th avenue, and Broadway, was crowded with peo
pie. We never knew a crowd to gather so quickly.
In ten minutes there was not a vacant standing
place to be had. Every inch of space appeared co
vered ; and still hundreds and thousands continued
to throng into the square, from all the streets open
ing into it.
Any attempt to compute the assembly by thou
sands would almost be futile. There must have
been at least 30,000 on the ground when the organi
zation was effected, and the number was constantly
increased by the arrival of the clubs, which, with
their music, banners, torches and lanters, marched
on the ground, and then filed off through the centre
of the living mass, to take their place on the line of
the procession.
On the Central Comm’ttee stand Henry Grinnell,
Esq., presided. The following resolutions were
adopted unanimously:
Whereas , Our country is torn and distracted by
factional and fanatical accusations, placing the Un
ion of our common States in imminent danger. And
Whereas, A new and entirely geographical party
has arisen in our midst, created and supported by
men whose principles tend to put in serious peril
the unity of the General Government by poisoning
the minds of the people ; and,
Whereas, We believe it to be the cardinal pur
pose of demagogues in our midst to excite one por
tion of our common country against another, and
finally carry out their nefarious plans to dissolve the
Union of our States; and,
Whereas, We put firm reliance in the glorious
principles of the revered founder of this Republic,
and look with honor upon those men who seek to
create geographical parties and stimulate sectional
strife, despite the warning voice of the prophetic
past ; therefore,
Ist. Resolved, That in the present crisis, none
but tried and true statesmen can settle the distract
ing questions that unprincipled politicians I have
thrust upon the country, and quell the spirit of
discord and incipient war at present lifting its
hydra-head over the length and breadth of our fair
country.
2d. Resolved, That in Millard Fillmore and An
drew Jackson Donelson we recognize men in every
respect worthy and able to stem and master the
treacherous attacks made upon the national senti
ment of the people of the United States.
3d. Resolved, That we earnestly call the atten
tion of the American people to the firm and consist
ent course pursued by oqr candidates in the past,
and declare our unwavering confidence, that their
election will ensure to this nation peace, prosperity
and power.
4th. Resolved, That we have no sympathy with
men representing but sections of our Union, and
that our course shall never swerve from a just re
gard to the rights of all the States, without reference
to geographical positions, and that our motto is :
“Our Union now and Forever.”
sth. Resolved, That we will achieve the eltetion
of our caudidates, Millard Fillmore aud Andrew
Jackson Donelson.
Hon. David Paul Brown, Hon. Henry Clay Fen
nell, of Ky., and oilier distinguished speakers ad
dressed the enthusiastic assembly.
At the same time speeches were being delivered
on the National Club Stand, on the American Young
Men's Union Club Stand, and on the Pioneer Club
Stand.
At twenty-five minutes past nine the meetings
adjourned, and within five minutes thereafter the
procession started, at which time there were cer
tainly seventy or eighty thousand people in Union
Square and its immediate vicinity. Such a scene of
excitement and enthusiasm has never been witness
ed heretofore in New York. On every side Hashing
lights and gorgeous banners met the eye ; crowds
of excited people shouting at the top of their voices;
full and glorious cheers rolling one upon the other.
Music and showers of fire, smoke, and the prancing
of horses, lent still further variety to the spectacle.
The Jersey City Clubs, the Richmond County
Clubs, the Brooklyn Clubs, the Williamsburg Clubs
and the New York Ward Clubs—the latter twenty
two in number—appeared in gallant array. The
cheering commenced when the head of the proces
sion entered Broadway, and never ceased until the
dismissal. It was one endless and tremendous roar
which went up to Heaven, as the united voice of
the Americans of New York in favor of Fillmore
and Douelson.

OF WHAT IS BLISS’ DYSFBPTIO REMEDY j
COMPOSED t
(JOME few days since, I received a letter from a gen- i
O tleman in Macon, Ga., who, after describing to me J
his ailments, continued as follows : “ I have tried al- J
most every thing, and as a last resort, was about to use
your Remedy, when a medical friend, who had used it, j
told mo that it contained Nitrate of Silver, or some mer
curial preparation , when I laid it aside with horror* for if
there is anything I am afraid of, it is mercury, in any
form,’* Ac.
Now, Doctor, I confess to you, that lick was very
adroitly given. I owe you one. Wonderful man I What
astonishing, what perfect Ulliputian perceptive faculties
you must possess, Doctor I I fear your talents have not
been hitherto duly appreciated. The information you
have communicated to the world, will immortalize your
name—a name that will be handed down to posterity as
Las been the name of old Balaam’s companion at the
time when he come up with the Angel. You have done
the cause of humanity a good service, and the world will
not be slow, I assure you, Doctor, to acknowledge it with
an enthusiastic burst of applause, when they shall be as
sured of your really possessing such wonderful perceptive
powers, and Te Veum will, I have notthe least doubt, bo
chanted in every church throughout God’s broad earth
for your especial benefit. And what will the other Doc- 1
tors, your competitors, think of you t they will take the I
medicine, and failing, with all their erudition, to discover
the least trace of either Nitrate of Silver or any of the '
preparations of Mercury, will at once write you down as (
an ass—ayer, In the drug line, very far above mediocrity,
and for your superiority over them in mental endowment, 1
and achievement they were incapable of, they will no
longer attempt, I will assure you, Doctor, to cope with
so formible an adversary, but will leave tho field entirely
to yourself, and run like frightened rats when they hoar
the creaking of your boots.
Readers of the Chronicle fy Sentinel: —As I have al
ways said to you, I have been surprised at the reception
that “BLISS DYSPEPTIC REMEDY” has received
at the hands of physicians. With but few exceptions, so
far as I am able to judge, they, instead of denouncing, as
they are very apt to do anything in the “ patent” line,
have been unanimous in its praise, and have not only ex
hibited it to their patienta but made use of it themselves,
as a good many have wtocb me. Ido, however, occa
sionally, but very seldom, hear of physicians denouncing
it, and discouraging its use, saying that it contains such a
mineral, or such a poison, and when they don’t know
anything more about it than a Patagonian does about a
psalm book. This, however, all arises from jealousy,
and a desire to exterminate it; and so keen are thei»-
rancorous feelings towards it, and so burning their dc
sire to vent their spite upon it and its proprietor, in a
way that will minister to their preying appetites, that at
every fresh opportunity of gratification their courage
gathers strength and energy of purpose, and they are
ready to immolate themselves on the altar of their un
quenchable thirst for reveuge.
As regards the composition of “ BLISS’ DYSPEPTIC
REMEBY,” there is not oneparticle of Nitrate of Silver ,
or any of the preparations of Mercury , nor one particle of
any iking MINERAL about it, but an entirely VEQE
TABLE preparation, perfectly harmless , but decidedly cu
rative in Dyspepsia and all other diseases having their ori
gin in disease of the Stomach. W. W- BLISS.
