Up to this the independent Southern pres* tins
been exceed-ngly lenient towards the Kentuckian
candidate; partly, because he had the wisdom not
to obtrude himsrli much on the public, and partly
because u timid hope wan entertained that he might
ime a manly Southern attitude before the can
v;; * was brought to a close. Besides, he was a
y ungman: ut least the old fogies described him
a- iu Ii; aud it was unpleasant to assail an indivi
dual who had only turned Lis fortieth or forty-fourth

ii .1 i-jiflirii.-iiLi’y rs'snected the to pa vi nits which the
Uu ciunati Gunveution ic«|aired him to assume, and
l»!s time* has come to be examined on the great

B ichanoo liiiiL-eit. \Ve have heard so much of his
m. rlis, r« ad so much of h e intellectual powers, en
dured *«> much bud rhetoric in trs praiae, that we
con not ,'iVoid walking up to him, his dignity to the
contrary notwithstanding, and asking him plainly
whether lie is with us or against us—a genuine
Sou hern inau, in heart and soul, or a poor outcome,
in human shape, from that breeding cage where

Mr. Brcckinrulgj# has been indulging in some
tllghis of oratory recently, apj regret to pay that
his wings have been as clumsily fastened on as those
bunas. Would tlmt mine enemy would make
a book, exclaimed a very shrewd observer of men
ai d things ; he should have added, however, or
make a public speech. Mr. Brat'kin ridge is no ene

are credited to him by the reporters of the late
Democratic meetings in Pittsburg and Tippeca

We have not a rep »rt of tlie Pittsburg speech
hefoiv ii.* at present, fi r we rarely keep the|onib»ri
cal (-ff’-nts of very young meu in our drawers, but
an extract from the Tippecanoe oration baajffstmet
ourcyrs, •» which we request the earnest attention
of every poliiieiau wfio understands the real question
awaiting yuirtial eolut-iou in November next, iu
pit .si urg, we ivcolleet, Mr. Breckinridge endea
vored to “save the Union/’a feat which he pro
ceeded to achieve by a complete desertion of the
South, and by the usual clap traps which have wea
ried our peoph.* ever since fc ilifomia obtained ad
lL.ssion into the Union. In this course he was an
ticipated by Senator Foote, who is now hanging to
ti skirts ot “Sam” iu California; by old San Ja
i Into, who is below the contempt of a ward politi
< i i.; by A bert Pike and other extinguished lumi
naries of tin Know Nothing order ; and so when he
recommenced his old game hu icaambled the poor
circus rider, whom Dickens describes, and t‘missed
hi* tip.” But wo have no particular objection tq
In.-; .-aving the Uni-*: ; no more than we have to a
mans whittling n« he goes tor “want of thought.”
The busiin s*s has become legitimate and every
political stock-actor tries his skill on it, though the
supernumeraritM and colbboys appear to regard it as
ihrir peculiar property to Borne extent. Saving the
Union is as innocent though not as profitable an elite
- loyin. ut as saving bacon , but while we do not ol>-
j. ri to Mr. Breckinridge’s employing his time and
energy in such an Avocation, we must enter a seri
ous protept against his attempting to destroy the
S uth or the purpose of saving the Union, or of
saving hi* own Kentucky bacon. In other words,
we protest ngniiict lhe sentiments (hang that word!)
of bis Ttppeoaii«ic speeoli and demand an explana
tion of them from hunorljis fuglemen iu Louisiana.
This v, no time for trifling ; our b< st interests are fit
.‘•take: our liberties, as a white, Caucasiiiu people,
are in'danger; tlie it -'it ution of the family, as w'c
u :ih*r*taii»T it. is imperilled by the progress of North
« n ide«.-'.; v. e are driven to a potiliou of scif-tlo
fiiiice, where we imut either maintain our rights or
mmvh unit jurat in presence* »>fi our sneering eue
u<i -: and i-m iu ti-is hour of trial and difficulty we
h.-s rt that whosoever is not with us, is decidedly
tig.iiiK-t us ! And further we say, boldly aud un
lc-sitatmgly, Mr. Breckinridge is not with us; he is
a. aiiist us "; iio is the worst kind of foe, a pretended
frttfud ; and we subjoin the proof of what we say.—
We subjoin it with rcluctauce.it is true; we had
hoped, ;.i pit© ot Mr. Buchanan’s dangerous views
ou Squatter Sovereignty, to avoid any positive op
pe.-itiiHi to th- 1) «uu#oratic ticket; but we prize the
iulei-oi*!s«*f the South more than those of any set of
poiit ciuus, good, bud or indifferent, and when Mr.
BrtM-k'iiriiJ ,o an attitude obviously hostile
Jo tmwe int* rests, it becomes our disagreeable duty
lo ,-xp -st* J.-.n, to plu< k the artificial teailiers from
the i !:tttte; iugil.iw, and exhibit him in all his origi
nal and n dural ugliness.
Iu tii * Tippecanoe oration alluded Lo, Mr. Brech
in ri. lev say:-.:
• Hit* rp\ . ! r had heard it charged that the fifteen
nlave Bu.u*s were conspiring toobtuio eutire pt»*ses
sionofthe Geivrul Govtruuitut, with a view of
b. il*power to bear, to extend and perpetu
ate tlo-ir ‘peculiar institutions.’ Gentlemen, there
has been no such attempt. I aiu conneoted with
iu* party that hn* for its object the extension of
slavery, nor with any to prevent the people of a
State or Territory tnun deciding the question of
irt existence or nou-existence with them for the mat* L-
\\'-dl upon tho slave holders of the Soutli to read
the foregoing paragraph and “pqndtr il fittingly.”
It is hu open c nfi ssion of the principle of Squatter
Sovereignty which John C. Calhoun so vigorously
denoum **d, and which has been set up, as a political
wii! o' the wit-p, to mislead the South from quagmire
: to uuagmire, until it sunk irremediably iu tlie
! gh oi derj nd.” It is a positive dei-laration
! •.; ! the “. quarters'* of a Territory have a right to
legislate B'nveiy into that Territory or out of it Lo
c organisation of a State Government, and as
.-iu - wc -,o!d it up to day to the scorn aud indigna
tion of the S ,v« holding States. Words are but the
counter* of t. f H»r.ght, it is true; but such words a*
Mr. Bn i kinr'dge used ut Tippecanoe are spurious,
ri ig false, and th uld be nailed to the counter wiLii
on: liesitaiion or fear.
Keuu uiber, men of the South, ho puts himself for-
WHfvl as the spokesman of the Democratic party,
and not content with promulgating the doctrine of
Squ&tt' r Sovereignty, coolly proceeds to commit
1 ti.ut party ::g.iii,*t the exteiuHon of slavery. And
y t Mr. Breckinridge demand* the entire vote of
the S-uth iu November, and is actually verdant
ci.ou -hto believe he will get it. Why should v.e

extension of uur institutions * Beeause he is ready

enusoheis a Sourhera man with Northern priei
p!es. Sooth, these are sorry reasons, and will
ec. u e!y avail with the honorable men of,the South.
The time ha* come to il mg away every disguise,
win., we fling away the scabbards of our swords.—
We are face to face with a ruthless foe. We must
speak aud act iu the spirit of earnest men. The
present contest is simply a struggle between the
S’orth and South for the b*ii auce of power. If the
negroes never existed aeiinilarcoutest would be in
eviUibk*. It o a war between gentlemen and Puri
tans . between two distinct set of ideas: between
two very opposite peoples. Up to this the South
k.Ho beeu protected oy a conservative majority in
i t-S«-m»te, but in n few years, unless new slave
S:uus are organized, that majority must disappear,
i.d we will become the political seivauts of the
Noi l. Every intelligent man who watches the

France—On the night September IC, eVout
thirty person s weie arrested in Paris, bi-looging to
aseoreA 6oo|ety. Be*pfcoting thvue arrests the Paris
correspondent of the Lotui* n 1 ;m*u ->a . a :
This society, cc-mposed of revalutkHiigtß of the
most violent and dangerous kind, h*-!d a meeting, at
which it is said ihat it was decided to assasrinate the
Emperor on his return from BDriz. I understand
that tl»e pnfioe know all the fnembdis of this society
most of Whom are old mcHtOers ot tlie Marianne,
Gth, 7th. and Bth arromlissements «-r
The majority of them are art i*. ans. Several
of these arrested sre very young, and appear intel
ligent and not uneducated. Tin y ha\ e been ple*-ed
in solitary confinement at Maaaa, and are all«#wed
to communicate with no one. The #■ arch made at
their residences has brought to light nothing tiiut
oovripromises them, but the police i-i prepared to
prove the existence of the society, and to bring frrr-
Ward witnesses of its Sequent me dings.
This con Anns the evidence, already pretty posi
tive, contained in the details I sent you concerning
the Marianne, as to the existence of a s* cr t socle
ty, whose members are sworn to attempt the life of
the Emperor. Fortunately the police are vigil i;.*
and sharp s’ghted, and histcry suhwsiis how rur#*ly
such attempts succeed. It is very diffi
cult to form a society of this kind into which
some agent of the authorities dees Dot find means
to insinuate himself, and even when that is not the
c»;se, at tLe last moment it h ra>e ihat all the con
spirators preserve their firmness of purpose and
of nerve.
f; is said that the French Government has order
ed tliat no further transportations of prisoners shall
be made to Cayenne.
Spain.—The Pari? correspondent cf the Loudon
Times, writing on tlie 18th inst., pays :
We have a#* yet received but telegraphic and im
perfect accounts of the additional act prbli.sbul with
the couTitutbu of ! 8 10, tin ally r.dopt-l, b <-r 10..;r

the Ministry. The former was d< « ! miw t• at the con
stitutionof 1845 blutoM be adopted pur< ly and sbnpiy
witbotri any modifications in a liberal sense. T! •
Mi ni*'t ere assembled in council at the P.iluce pre
sented their plan for Her Majesty’s approval. It
included, as lam assured, the electoral law of
1897, according to which the elections are made
by provinces, a jpaph ra re practice]!y liberal sys
tem than that by districts, stipulated by the 1 vof
1815.
It was also proposed to form a new Senate, in
lic-p of the too numerous ons, swollen by re: ted
creations made in the interest of struggling* Minis
tries, which existed previously to the revolution of
1854. The Queen demurred to these changes, and
desired the Ministers to leave the papers with her,
and she would study the question, rnd her advisers
arc *{iid to have left her with the impression that
their teupre of office was inseeur#;, and that sl.e
might probably cell others to her councils. A com
promise was ultimately effected, but we await de
tails of its exact nature, and of the extent to which
the constitution of *45 is liberalized by them. The
law of desftmortizatiou is another difficulty which
p ems far from settled. The Queen still persists in
her oppoeitjon to it.

Switzerland.—The Swiss Federal Assembly
was opened on the Uth of September. In the open
ing address to the Chambers tli#* following language
was employed with respect to the recent events at
Neufehatel, and was warmly responded to by both
Houses: —
Deplorable events have occurred in the Confede
ration, and blood has flowed. A party forgetting all
the events of lgto years, has displayed on the soil of
Switzerland the flag of foreign power. At the first
moment, in the midst of the general surprise, the
royalist party was able to haul down the federal flag;
but it was immediately after again raised ah-ft- by the
immense majority i*f the country, by the whole re
publican party, which rosel ke it single man to op
pose and cost out the foreign adherents. Thanks to
the energy and devotedness of the republicans of
Neufehatel, the insurrection was stifled in it-s very
outset. Let us congratulate them cn having suc
ceeded without the assiStan, eof the Confederation.
These events have once more proved how deeply
yooted gre the Republican convictions of our co-fede
fates. Let, jis, liopp, gentlemen, that these circum
stances will not lead lo any annoying complications
for Switzerland; but whatever may come to pass,
the Confederation will not f-rget the proof of ardent
patriotism which the Republicans ol Neufehatel have
given, audit will know how to thoroughly protect
them.
Sardinia— I Tim aipncstv for the remainder t f
the Genoese insurgents of* 18 id, granted by Vic
tor Emanuel, was published in Turin oil the 10th
ultimo. The nine persons named in this amnesty
were the last political prisoners in Sardinia.
Naples.—A letter from Paris, dat d September
17th, says that whatever reasons there were for
hoping that the differences between Naples on tlie
i one part., and France and England on the other,
, would be adjusted without difficulty, have di. ap
peared. Joint notes, ultimatums, recall of fembas
sabors, and and even the sending of a naval squad
ron to Naples, are now talked of as more probable
than ever.
Denmark.—The protracted dispute between the
Danish Crown and the Duchy of Holstein begins to
assume mojc enlarged proportions. Austria aud
Prussia are said to have agreed on a line c ( poli
cy to be pursued by them towards Denmark, and
will open negotiations at Copenhagen, while at the
same time using their influence in the German Diet
* to induce that body to interfere.
! Holland. —The session of the Slates General of
j Holland was opened at the Hague on Monday, the
l.Yh. The following is the Ring’s speech :
j Gentlemen—To my great joy the war between
: the powers has ceased siuce 1 opene \ your last s-s-
I sion, and re-established peace already. discloses its
(beneficial results. During those difficult, circum
! stances we maintained with foreign powers rein*
I tiers of good will and good understanding, and wo
i have every ground for rejoicing in tlieircoiitinuuuce
1 ut the present moment.
Our forces by land and sea discharge their voca
; tion with honor. The extension which the materiel
. of the navy demands, continues to be tlie constant
j object of my care.
| Our colonies and possessions in other parts of the
f world enjoy in general a happy tranquility. De
| velopment and progress, moral and material, are
manifest iu them. We have, however, to deplore
. | tlu; great disasters tlmt have nfilleted some of our
* islands of the Xlolucan Archipelago. My Govern
j nn-nt, aided by public munificence, labors to di
• minish their sad oliects.
i Though freedom of commerce wiili Japan has
! not yet been obtained, efibrts arc still persovering
ly made to arrive at that end. Meanwhile a pro
visional treaty Ims confirmed former ones, h.n fa
cilitated business, aud hus rendered our relations

i try. , . ,
j The k)t of tiie slaves in the Western colonics dors
j not cease to be the object of my lively solicitude,
j Measures have been taken to meliorate their present
# condition, so as to prepare them for social rotorm,ou
’ which subject measures will be submitted to you
t during this session.
i The internal situation of tlie country ought to m

{ Commerce,navigation, agriculture, aud the (.1-
l rent branches of industry a e in u state that leaves
< nothing to be desired. Up to the present date eve
j rything bespeaks a good inn vert,
l My attention continues engaged upon all wor cs
j that can ensure the security aud prosperity of the
c untry. More rapid means of communication, so
useful to home and 1* reign commerce, ought n *t to
be wanting in the Netherlands. Railway projects
give hope of seeing a network of roaos established
throughout the whole extent of the country. May
the hope not be disappointed. 1 reckon on your
co-operation to support private enterprise with the
purse of the state wherever the resources of the
former are insufficient.
The favorable#stute of our finances will enable us
to continue tlie redemption of our debt—a bill for
which will be submined to your consideration.
Bids on the judicial organizations, on railway po
lice, others, as well as those not completed lost ses
sion, will be presented to you.
Bills for regulating the three branches ol publi ’
instruction wid be offered to you at one nod the
same time. In that way the necessary relation be
tween part a that should form one whvle v. ill i*<- bel
ter preserved. To preserve inviolability to all tiiut
belong* to freedom of conscience is one of the tra
ditional cares of my government. Animated by
that feeling we have Bought the means ol meeting,
os far r.s possible, the numerous scruples raised by
the bill for primary instruction. 1 desire to ensure
to the Netherlands, with your assistance, school in
stitutions, in which the. religious character of the
nation, formed and developed by ages of Cliristiani
• ty, may be respected, and by which the demands of
knowledge and the principle of national unity, may
be sanctioned.
My earnest desire is to continue firmly to develope
the moral strength and material prosperity oi the
people whose happiness is so dear to me.
The proofs of ass ection of which myself aud ray
house nave so often been the objects, and which
were lately lavished on us during the feles that re
called so many honorable reminiscences—the union
and fraternity that we beheld prevailing—give me
the assurance of finding the cation and you. its rep
resentatives ready to support me in my efforts to
consolidate the progress of ail that is good and just,
and toprevemt discord from ever taking root in olt
soil. To that end may the Almighty deign to be
stow his indispensable blessing on your efforts and
labors.
1 declare the present session of the States General
opened.
Russia.—The correspondent of the London Times
supplies another graphic letter on the circn:’’.stances
attending the Coronation of the Emperor. The let
ter is dated Moscow, September 11. We mak -a
few extracts :
The Emperors Reception at tue Opera.—
The sight presented at the theatre tins evening was
perhaps the tints! as a spectacle of the many which
the Coronation has yet offered to us. The Emperor
went in stale to the Opera, and ah the loreign Am
bassador* Extraordinary, the Ministers end stran
gers of distinction, the officers of the eir.. ir«*. -.he
iiit-nibere of the Court, the generate and admirals
were invited to attend on the occasion. It was call
ed tie “Spectacle Gala.’*
The house ; which is decorated in the richest man
ner in white and gold) contains six rows of boxes,
or, more properly rp aking, there are six tiers of
galleries, open at the front, aud without any har
ries to the hue of seats, but at the back of each gal
lery ;bere is an inner row ot boxes, into which the
occupant.- oi the seats in front can retire if they
wifJj. These boxes are draped with red cr crimson
hangir-gs. aud the seats and cushions of the 1-. use
are of lhe same color. There are no pillar-, col
umns, or caryatides to support the boxes, and thus
ai! the audieuce sit out. as it were, on open benches, ;
and can see and be Been all around, except when i
they wish to retire to the inner circle of covered 1
boxes. At 7 o’clock the whole of tLi> square was j
filled with carriages, which the Cossacks and Gen- {
damierie had d fiiuhv iu reducing into order.
The piiiars and the fnauie of the house were cov- !
ered with the cyphers and honors of the Czar traced |
iu characters of fire. But it was. fer i
of these fl ings, almost iirmossibie cot
to give way to thrill of admiration puu surprise on
entering the body of the house and taking the firs*
look lr Jtn the pit. A Roman amphitheatre was
probably a grandeur, but it could net have been n
more bniliout eight. A gorgeous aud magnificent
crowd tii ed tt»e theatre, but the arrangements were
so good that there was neither hustling, confusion,
uor noise. There were no ladies iu the pit. so that
the effect of many splenaid nuifom s were homoge
neous, tut the front rows of the first tier of boxes I
were occupied by the mistresses of creation in full I <
dreas—eucadiamonds. mcoronets, circlets, earrings, i
necklaces, bracelets, brooches—in all the forms that ! *

The Arsenal in the Kremlix.—The other day
• w* wSmLfco visit the arsenal in the Kremlin,
| a fcti-etkj, and every public office was closed ; but
on the r-t wtrnacd ant "being told that an English
i r-General was with the party, he at once came out
and accompanied us over the place. Before war
arsenal contained 400,000 stand of arras : it now «
h3S Only ISfVfICO, iff which nearly 100,000 are sabres
and song swords. There are many different kinds
of firearms Leie. but the most remarkable thing is
the change which the war has introduced into the
LU.*v.>iaii ideas efiioieuey and manufacture. I re-
I collect we were astonished to dud that many of the
tro • s at the Alma were armed with the old flint
I li . eka altered for percussion caps, and that the
irt'Kdu were of tLe old antiquated form, very small
and narrow at the butt, which is still preserved id
j A;! these arms to-day were full in the butt and
st*-i-kand provided v.ith excellent percussion locks.
At> ut 10,M s and were tilted with an improved
pirfiit near the breech, end were adjusted to fire
vv • • . precision up to 690 metres a large conical ball
wi::i i. holiow base. About 20,000 stand, perhaps,
were rages and ha l a turn and a halt of rifle twist
in the barrel and a Luge sight. Most of these wea
; « •;*» are made at ato.»’n in Siberia, where they find
the iron is better than that at Tula. The rifled
arcus, however, had originally been muskets, and
the barrel did r.ot look thick enough to bear the
rifling. Many firelocks of this kind were used at
at to pul to wants the cud of the siege. A few
thousand stand of arms were of the old style—flint
e*« k. 3 and small stocks—others were horsemen's
carbines, some sets of which were long, heavy and
cumbersome.
The new musket weighs 10 livres, with bayonet
attached; but we saw a new pattern Liege" rifle
which will weigh only 12$ livres (40 Russian livres
being equal to 36 lbs. avoirdupois.) There are also
sabres here for nearly 100,000 cavalry, and most of
them are superior to the weapons we found in the
Crimea. The swords for the dragoons and heavy
cavalry, which are exceedingly long, seemed very
good indeed, and had more spring and were better
balanced than is usually the case with Russian
arms. There is a considerable collection of cuiras
ses for cavalry also. Those of the Guard are brass,
well padded and weigh 24 livres ; those of the Cui
riiHriers are of .-ted and weigh about 16 livres.—
The standard of disbanded regiments are carefully
kept here, as well as the drums. The care taken
of «iil the arms is most creditable. Every blade,
every lock, is highly polished. The interior of
th - barrels is clean, ana without a panicle of rust.
The commandant said that every piece was clean
e i thoroughly and greased three times a year.—
If vi. g walked through long halls and galleries fill
c i vvi h-muskets, sabres and cuirasseSs, we were
gi.id to descend to the ground floor where the artil
lery. carriages, caissons and harness for field guns
arc kept. Os these there is a very small display at
Me* "uiT ; but all the carriages bore the date of
i 60, and were models of strength and lightness as
wed as of workmanship. The mode of elevating

vertically on the carriage below the gun, with the

toward the trail. This triangle is worked forward

This Czar's Uec eption or Foreign Ministers.
—As the Czar is his own minister, and is understood
to act entirely on his own judgment and responsi
bility, people are naturally very curious to know
ho w i.c received the Ministers, and, according to
• the stories I hear. His Majesty was very gracious to
1 M. deMoray at the lt.vee, and conversed with him
sor Si me time. He alluded to the readiness evinced
by i ranee to conclude the peace, and to remove all
impediments to an entente cordiale. With Lord
Granville he was, on dit, more reserved, and he is
understood to have mad© some pointed allusions to
iiie attitude of the English Cabinet. !( We were ires
, lies in days gone by,” said His Majesty, “but it is
to b«- hoped that the estrangement will not con
, tiuue.” Lord Granville replied in a low tone of voice.
To Prince Esterlmzy the manner of the Emperor
wai at fiis*. exceedingly dry and cold, but the vete
ran diplomatist spoke with such effect, and gave
!, assurance* of the sincere desire which actuated
a large party in Austria to return to their premiers
amours, that the Emperor was visibly shoved, and
hel l out his hand befo re the Prince ceased. When
the Turkish Minister was introduced heread at some
!• i:g ii l.is letter otcrcanrcs, but the Czar became
inpatient beforefclie conclusion, and dismissed the
E ■ ivoy wit h a few short sentences.
At the ball iu the evening the Empress danced
with M. de Moray, Lord Granville, and the Turkish
Minister. Shades of Mahomet, Suleiman the Mag
■ be rat, and Selim the Terrible, what must ye have
tic night when the embassador of the Sublime Porte
led the Czarina forth to the Polonaise ! The Ein
j er«>r danced with the Countess Granville, and was
very gracious in Ins manner towards her. By an
ukase, the text of which you will see long ere it is
b fore me, the Czar has greatly modified the pass
j * . i system, particularly in all that relates to the re
; rieitons on Russian travelling, and he has also giv
en a large measure of grace to Poles, political offen
ders, and inalversators.
The Danube—A union of the Danubian Prin
cipalities seems unlikely if the following passage
fromaViennalotterdatedSept.l3,may bereliedupon:
“The Austrian Government has just received the
r**ply of the powers to the memorandum relative to
the organization of the Principalities drawn up by
M de Prokesoh, and setting forth the reasons which
, oppose the union of the principalities. This reply
• lias satisfied the Austrian Cabinet, and it has been
decidid that nothing shall be said on the subject in
the commission, but that the opinion of the Divans
about to be elected in the Principalities shall be fol
lowed. Owing, however, to tne co-operation of
the new Kaimakans, it is hoped that the Divans
will be composed of men who will easily aban
. don the idea of a union. The Principalities will
therefore retain a separate administration, but it
’ is thought that the dignity of hoapodar will i>e
coii.o hereditary, and that the same constitution
as in the Principalities will be established in Servia.”

The Atlanta Mass Meeting.
The intelligence received yesterday, by tele
graph, of the M.iso Meeting of the friends of Fill
more and Donelson, at Atlanta, is indeed most
cheering to the heart of the true patriot. It affords
the highest evidence that the people, the honest
hearted yeomanry of the land, have roused from
their slumbers, and are about to take matters into
tbair own hands and give a r.ew direction to public
affairs. It is, therefore, a most gratifying spectacle
to contemplate; because it assures us of the bright
prospect ahead, when the country will be relieved
from the misrule of the demagogues and tricksters
who have contributed so much to produce the pre
sent crisis in our affairs Such an event inspires us
with new and higher hopes of success, and with in
creased energy to strike on, strike ever for victory—
to move forward with renewed zeal, to the accom
plishment of the great and good work of hurling
from power and place the men w T ho have betrayed
their section, paid defrauded the people—the vile
conspirators who have shewn themselves capable
of sacrificing the government and our glorious in
stitutions for place. Yes, we feel a renewed and
greatly increased zeal i:i the cause ; and if the peo
ple, the houest-heartp4 patriots of the laud, whose
highest ambition is to save the country from the
hands of spoilsmen, will but unite with us in a zeal
ous effort, we w ill redeem Georgia—and she will
cast her vote for that pure hearted patriot and hon
est man, Millard Fillmore.
This may sound extravagant to some, but it can
and will be accomplished, if his friends go to work,
determined to do their duty, their whole duty, and
nothing but their duty to the country. We feel
confident that a large majority of the people of
Georgia prefer to see him elected to any other man ;
and all that is necessary to secure his triumph is to
induce them to cast their votes for the man they
prefer. Let us then resolve that this shall be done,
and Ipi every man go to work to do it, and victory
ia certain to perch on our noble banner. It is the
banner of the Constitution and Union—the banner
of the honest-hearted American patriots, who are re
solved to kick out the spoilsmen, who are “held to
gether by the cohesive properties of the public plun
der.” This is our banner—it is the banner of the
people. It is not soiled by the odious doctrines of
squatter sovereignty and alien suffrage, but it lias
eii.blazoned on its broad fold;,, the Constitution and
Union —Southern equality iu the Territories, and
the exclusion of alien suffrage. Freemen of
Georgia, will you not rally around such a banner
and such a standard bearer ?
Col. A. U. Wriglitfe speech.
It is a source of regret that we were unable to be
present to hear the speech of Col. A. R. W right, at
the City Hall Tuesday night, for we are assured it
was a most capital and effective effort; abounding
in facta and arguments as irresistuble as they were
forcible. The audience was large, and so profound
was the interest excited by the speaker, that the
mass seemed enchaiued throughout the speech,
which occupied some two hours in the delivery.
Georgia. Stoves.
Yesterday, we enjoyed the sincere pleasure of
looking at some Georgia made Cooking Stoves,
made of Georgia and Alabama pig iron, and manu
factured by L. Hopkins & Co. at the “Augusta
Works," which are not surpassed by the same arti
cle manufactured at the North, by the best makers.
They were in every respect, (so far as we could de
termine) certainly in beauty, smoothness and fine
ness of finish, equal to the best Northern Manufac
tured Stoves, with which we compared them on the
spot. We confess it was to us a source of high gra
tification, as wc doubt not it will be to all who will
examine them. They may be seen at the store of
W. 11. Maharrey & Co. Call and see them, and
see wlmt Georgians can do, even in this to them
new line us business.
Look upon tliis Picture and ihcii on That.
Reader, Southern men, we submit for your care
ful study two pictures, both drawn by Democrats ;
the one of Mr. Fillmore, the other of Buchan an
and Breckinridge. The one sketched by the
South Carolina Times , the other by the New Or
leans Delta, both prominent organs of the Demo
cratic party in their respective States, who cannot,
therefore, be suspected of any undue partiality for
Mr. Fillmore, or any prejudice against Buchan
an. We therefore solicit their careful perusal by all
Southern Democrats. But to the pictures :
Mr. Fillmore —A Democrat’s Opinion. —The
Columbia (South Carolina) Times, a Southern ultra
Journal of t‘»e austerest States' Bights Democratic
stamp, has a carefully guarded article upon the
Presidential candidates, in which It speaks thus:
“If we were compelled to choose between Bu
chanan, Fillmore end Fremont, we would prefer
casting our vote for Millard Filial ore, as the choice
of evils,regarding him at the same time as only a
shade better than the two other candidates for the
Presidential chair. Mr. Fillmore’s administration
was well received by tiie people of Carolina. His
visit to Charleston and Columbia rallied a large pro
portion of the people to do him homage, and al
though we do not wish to be sot down ns one of his
admirers, for we are not, we do believe that the
Government, under his administration, would prove
tube more conservative, just and impartial than
under either of the other candidates.”
Tue Times is a calm, dispassionate observer, and
an impartial ju'lge, at least so r ar as Mr. Fillmore
is concerned. Let us now turn to the graphic sketch
of Buchanan and Breckinridge, by the hand of
another Democratic master, the New Orleans Della .
Ilei e it is :
“From the beginning we stated that though Bu
chanan and Breckinridge were not such persons as
we should select tor the Presidency and Vice Pre
sidency, nevertheless, as the best in the field, we
would support them, and give them a reluctant vote
in November next. But the aspect of the canvass
is beginning to change. The Democratic party
seems sliding away from the attitude it assumed, or
was supposed to assume, at Cincinnati, and we
have serious misgivings as to whether the Southern
Rights portion of the community—the non-office
seekers and earnest men—can heartily range them
selves on lhe side of a ticket which is commencing
to look exceedingly like a bogus affair. If the
Tippecanoe speech of Mr. Breckinridge is a fa r ex
pression of Democratic ideas, we fear every South
erner will refuse to assist a cause which is aboli
tionism in disguise, whiehprefera, as Mr. Calhoun
said of Mr. Clay, ‘the specious to the solid, and the
plausible to the true.’ ”
Southern men contemplate and study carefully
these pictures, and then determine what course du
ty aud patriotism require you to pursue in casting
your vote for President.
Tlmt Fusion in Indiana.
Some of the Squatter Sovereign Buchanan or
gans and leaders at the South, who are “cheek by
jowl” with the Van Buress, Dix, and the Buffalo
Platfonn men, affect to be horribly terrified at the
idea of a fusion of the Fillmore and Fremont
men iu Indiana, which they have_very extensively
circulated at the South. Verily, they have cause to
turn up their eyes aDd hold up their hauds in holy
horror at such a prospect. What party has a better
right to be terribly exercised by a fusion with free
soilers than the Southern Democracy ? (unless it be
a fusion with themselves, at which they always re
joice.) They have never failed to fuse with the
freesoilers when they had an opportunity, and such
a fusion held out any hope of spoils. They did it
in Ohio. They did it in Massachusetts and elected
Sumner to the Senate, gaud they now rejoice in a
fusion with the Van BußEX®and Buffalo Platfonn
men of New York. Thus much for Democratic fu
sion. The following card settles the story of fusion
in Indiana:
Fillmore Executive Committee, >
Indianapolis, Sept. 27, 1856. {
At a meeting of the Executive Committee of
the friends of Fillmore and Douelson in Indiana,
held at Indianapolis on Wednesday, the 24th of
September, 1856, the following resolutions were
adopted:
Resolved, That the statements made by certain
newspapers, to the effect that the friends of Fillmore
and Douelson in this State have united with those
of Fremont and Dayton, and will support the same
electoral ticket with them, is not true ; but, on the
cootrary, that we have our own electoral ticket,
composed onlv of Fillmore men, and intended to
support that ticket, and no other, without union or
fusion with any other party.
Resolved, That the chairman of this committee
cause this resolution to be published and circulated
as extensively as possible.

The Man for the Crisis.—The New York Com

that conviction is spreading on every hand, and it
only remains for every citizen, who in his con
science believes Mr. Fillmore to be the safest and
best of the three candidate*, to act up to his convic*
tion, and hi* election will be accomplished. Sup
ported by these, and by the numerous party that
has put him in nomination, and by the recuperating
old-line Whigs everywhere, why, in all sobriety
and earnestness, should Mr. Fillmore fail of suc
cess f”

Fremont’* Prowpecty—Etcrtton by the Honse.
The New Y'ork Tribune of the 27th ulfc. thus ex
presses itself in relation to Fremont's pruspeuu r
“We do i ot wish our readers to believe the elec
tion of Fremont a fixt-d fact. We do not ourselves
believe it, and shmud not desire to d. if use the im
pression if vrt: did. We wisFhit generally understood
that the struggle is arduous, and that the result de
pends on work yet to be done. In >-LMe*of many
cheering assurances, we consider tae States of
P.iimsylvania, New Jersey, Indiana, Illinois and
thiliforaia still ddkbtfbl, \Ve mayy.trry all of them
by large majorities. buFWe may also lose enough of
them to beat us in the contest. >Ve consider our
chance in the House, should the election go thither,
of very little worth. We must succeed, if at ail, by
the votes of the people ; weeannot count on a single
slave State: ana we must either carry Pennsylva
nia, or, losing it. carry all the rest of the free States.
We strongly hope to c rry Pennsylvania—we feel
sure it can be carried for Fremont—but, if we were
all to stop working now, andfhff to shouting over
our anticipated victory, we fliouiu have no victory
to huzza over This is the naked truth, and the
truth u just what should beset forth and realized.”
The Tribune is evidently despairing of Fre
mont's success by the people, and has no hope if
the election goes to the House. It is to this latter
fact, that we desire to call the attention of the South- !
ern reader, and ask him to mark well the fact, that
the New Yolk. Tribune repudiates the idea of elect,
ing Fremont by the House. Now, it is a well known
fact, that quits a number of the leaders and organs
of the Buchanan Squatter Sovereignty party at the
South, (some of them well knowing what they say
to be false) have endeavored to frighten Southern
men into voting for Buchanan, because say they,
“ if the election goes to the House Fremont will be
elected.’’ And yet, when they asserted this, they
knew it was false in every particular, uulcss the
Northern Democracy should sell themselves to Fre
mont. and thus give him the votes of sixteen States.
Greely, however, in his desperation tells the peo
ple, the plain, honest truth—that Fremont lias no
chance in the House—that if Fremont is elected, it
must be accomplished by the people. On the other
hand, the demagogues and tricksters of the Bu
chanan party at the South are endeavoring by open
and direct falsehood to practice a fraud ou the peo
ple, by asserting the House will elect Fremont !
Was there ever such bold and reckless mendacity
displayed by men having any pre-tension to respec
tability or veracity ? Lot the people pause and re
flect.
The Washington Organ copies the paragraph ,
from the 'Tribune and appends the following com
ments :
After this frauk confession of weakness and in
certitude on the part of Fremont's principal organ,
we hope to hear no more of Southern Whigs remark
ing that they must vote for Buchanan to prevent
the election of Fremont. Why Greeley himse f
docs not expect to elect Fremont by the people, and
tells his readers very plainly that if not elected by
the people he has no chance in the House. Yet we
hem daily ui Sou hern men who are so afraid of the
shadow of a “Republican” as to express the opinion
that if the election should come to the House, Fre
mont would be elected ! Such men are unworthy
of the name of American. Let them read the re
ports of the proceedings of the National Americans
and Whigs of New Y ork, the very centre of Fre
mont ism, and take courage. The Empire State h
all alive with monster meetings of the friends of
Fillmore. Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, and even fifty
thousand persons assembled on such occasions, are
recorded almost daily. Is not such a spirit worthy
of encouragement and imitation at the South \
What are our friends iu North Carolina and Virginia
about? Will they allow the whole burden of the
battle of tlie 4th of November to be borne by their
gallant brethren at the North and the West ? Let
them look at what is now doing iu Alabama, and
go and do likewise, Alabama was, until recently,
the strongest Democratic State iu the Union. But
so efficiently have the Americans of that State con
ducted the present campaign that we have the best
authority for stating that Buchauanism is now at its
last gasp in Alabama.
“Vote for Buchanan to prevent the election of
Fremont!” Count a greater absurdity enter the
brain of a maniac ? Why, if we were asked liow the
election of Fremont could be rendered certain, we
t iiould answer, by Whigs and Americans of the
South going over to Buchanan—since by so doing
they would drive the whole North over to Fre
mont, and elect him by a large majority of the pop
ular vote.
The South will, in a few weeks, have the decision
of the Presidential election in their own hands. The
Democrats, on the 11th of October, will lose Penn
sylvania, Ohio, and Indiana. Then the National
Democrats of those Stales will rush by tens of thou
sands to tlie American standard, as they have al
ready done, in New York. Buchanan will be aban
doned in all those Stales in November. What then
becomes the duty of the South ? Will she still per
sist in adhering to the squatter sovereignty candi
date after he has been deserted by the very men
who effected his nomination ? or will she, rising su
perior to all mere party considerations, cast her vote
in a solid phalanx for Fillmore and Donelson, and
thus secure their election.
New Y ork Politics.
The following letter from the Hon. Daniel Ull
man, of New York, who is one of the best posted
men in the State in relation to politics, will be lead
with pleasure by the friends of Fillmore. The
letter was written to a distinguished citizen of Vir
ginia, and bears date Sept. 9. Since then, the Old
Line Whig Convention met, and the North Ameri
can Convention have declared for Fillmore,
which have greatly strengthened him in New York;
to say nothing of the large number ,of conservative
Democrats,.who abandoning all hopes of Bughan.
an, have determined to vote for Fillmore. There is
no mistaking the signs of the times, they are bright,
ar.d growing brighter daily. One of the best evi
dences of this is found in the fact that now, you
real ly ever hear of that most formidable Demo
cratic argument, a bet. A few weeks since you
could scarcely make a declaration as to the proba
ble result of the election, without having this De
mocratic logic thrust upon you. Now the tone is chan
ged, and strange ns it may seem, it is nevertheless
true, that this forcible argument has lost its power
with the Democracy:
35 Walt, Street, N. Y., >
Sept. 9th, 1856. )
Dear Sir:—On my return from an exten ed tour
of speech-making, I found your letter awaiting
You ask me my opinion of Mr. Fillmore’s pros
pects in New York. I have only to say, in answer,
that the American party in this State was never
better organized than at present. It is putting
forth its energies in a manner that must carry the
State. IVe have no doubt of the result. 1 trust our
friends South will understand this matter. The
great body of the press lias always been against us.
Last yei.r, when we carried the State by 10,000 plu
rality. they, with united voice, declared that we had
no existence. They are endeavoring to play the
same game now. The contest is between Mr. Fill
more and Fremont. The weakness of Mr. Buchan
an, North, has surprised us all. It begins now to be
doubtful whether he will even carry the State of
Pennsylvania or Indiana. The result in Maine,
which we expected, I hope, will show the South that
they have but one cause, and that is to come in uni
; tedty for Mr. Fillmore. Let them do that, and all
v. ill be safe. Buchanan will prove to be a broken
reed for them to lean upon. He is growing weaker
every day, North, while Mr. Fillmore is constantly
increasing in strength. His friends are working
with a uuiou of purpose and determination that I
have never seen excelled. I trust that Virginia will
do her duty in this campaign.
Iu great haste, Yours truly,
Daniel Ullman.

Another Strong Document.
An “Address to the Whigs of the Union” from the
Committee appointed by the Maryland Whig State
Convention to prepare it, appears in the last Balti
more Patriot. It is an able, says the Petersburg
Intelligencer , production, and will doubtless con
tribute largely towards the promotion of Mr. Fill
more's election. It stands out in striking and hon
orable contrast with the feeble letteis of Senators
Pearce and Pratt, and will effectually counter
act any mischief from them. A review of the po
litical history of the country from the Presidency of
Van Buken to the passage of the Nebraska bill—
a history in which Mr. Fillmore’s administration
forms a prominent and most interesting chapter—
presents to the people facts and circumstances par
ticularly worthy of the contemplation of the people
in the contest now going on. It is a long document,
but none the less valuable for that. We have not
time nor room to review it in detail. The eviden
ces of Mr. Fillmore’s soundness of principles and
integrity of purpose are, as cited, overwhelming,
and they are furnished abundantly by the Demo
cracy themselves whose praises of him at a former
period were loud and profuse, both at the North and
South. The following are the closing paragraphs of
the Address, and they show the spirit in which it w r as
framed :
But if is said, if Millard Fillmore is all } r ou
say of him you can’t elect him, and by your vote
you aid Fremont in not advancing Buchanan. This
is an old story—a standing political prediction for
the special benefits of our adversaries. We heard
it when Harrison and Tyler were the Whig candi
dates. When Ta\ lor and Fillmore were the candi
dates In September be I ore their election it was
confidently proclaimed that they could not get a
single elector in any free State. Before we credit
these hitherto false prospects we require some fur
ther evidence of their political inspiration.
But is success the only and ultimate end of all
duty to our country ? Are we to sa--rifice nothing
upon the altar ? Shall our duty to our common coun
try be a capital with which we are to trade and get
again ? Such have not been the principles which
have hitherto actuated the Whigs or their leaders.
Henry Clay said he “ would rather be right than be
President—to deserve success rather than to be suc
cessful.” Such, too, has not been the practice of
the Whigs Rather than abandon thpir distinctive
principles, they abandoned John Tyier whom they
had made President, and with him all the power and
patronage of the Government. Let not the Whigs,
therefore depart from their men on these principles,
but faithfully do their duty to their country, ho plain
ly pointed out by the Whigs of this State and of the
Union—leaving the result in the hands Him who
ruleth all.
The New York Journal of Commerce and tha
Tribune, of Saturday, each charge the friends of
Fillmore with making alliances with the opposite
parties. The Journal charges that the Fillmore
men are to give the electoral vote of Pennsylvania
to Fremont in return for the State officers to be
elected on the 14th ult., and the Tribune that the
vote of the State is to be given to Mr. Buchanan,
the Democrats in return giving to Fillmore the
electoral votes of New York and New Jersey. The
two stories destroy each other, and are entirely un
worthy of credit.

No Fremont Ticket. —The Baltimore Patriot
makes the following correction .•
We are authorized by one the officers of the Re
publican Association to state that the Fremont and
Layton electoral ticket given to us for publication
on Friday last, as emanating from the Association,
was premature. Several of the gentlemen nomina
ted as electors Lave declined to serve, and a differ
ence of opinion exists among the members of the
association with regard to the propriety of forming
a ticket.”
A Patriotic l.ctrcr.
The subjoined letter from Dr. Stephen Duncan ,
of Natchez, Miss., one of the largest slaveholders in
the Union, will be read with interest by every friend
of Fillmore in the republic. Lake many others,
Dr. D. had at one time been persuaded that “ Fill
more had no chance,” but a continued sojourn at |
the and a close observation of -the progress
of events there, have convinced him of his erfor, j
and he how declares for Fillmore, not only be- I
jsaase he is the best man, but his chances are better j
for success than Buchanan’s.
This fact is every day becoming more and more
api ..t, to a!! nu u who do not shuitlnra, eyea to
the Facfs“wliTcTi are dailvbeing developed”af The
North. No well informed man of any party, pre
tends that Bucuanan has any possible chance to
carry Nt*w York, ami his warm supporters believe
he cannot carry Pennsylvania. He lias, therefore,
not a remote prospect of success. What folly then,
for the South, to adhere to his sinking fortunes,
when she may settle the election in tlie electoral
college by supporting Fillmore, if the whole South
unite upon him. It ia, therefore, the duty of the
Southern people to abandon Buchanan altogether
and rally to Fillmore as the oi ly chance of de
feating Fremont. Let Southern men pause and
reflect upon these things, and as they value the
South and her institutions stand by them :
Natchez, Sept. 23, 1850.
lion. F. 11. Farrar —Dear Sir: In conversation
some weeks ago, you stated that it was reported, in
portions of Louisan a, that l)r. Stephen Duncan, of
this city, had avowed himself a supporter of Mr.
Buchanan for the Presidency; that this report was
operating iujurious’y the interests of Mr. Fillnr re,
among Mr. D.’s friends ; that it was urged by the
opponents of Mr. F.. that Dr. Duncan being one of
the largest slave-holders in the South, would natur
ally feet a deeper interest iu the slavery question
than any other issue now before the country ; and,
1 hence, that he must regard Mr. Buchanan as safer
for the South than Mr. Fillmore.
Being satisfied that Mr. Duncan’s position was not
understood in this matter, I so informed him, and
requested permission to give publicity to his opin
ions on this subject, llis letter, given herewith,
will explain itself. I communicate to you, through
the Courier, as the most ready mode of accompish
ing our object.
Respectfully aud truly, yours, &.c.
C. L. Duruisson.
New Y'ork, Sept. 13, 1856.
My Dear Sir: I received your letter, and learn
from it that some letters addressed by me to friends
in Mississippi in June last, have created the impres
sion that l now favor the election of Mr. Buchanan.
It is due to myself, and especially due to my old
friends, that 1 should-explain my course in this mat
ter. When 1 arrived in this city in May last 1 found
the public mind much disturbed, and much feeling
excited. I became alarmed for the consequences,
and when I wrote my friends in the South in the
early part of June last, I thought the crisis demand
ed that tlie first consideration, with tlie conserva
tives of all parties, should be the preservation of the
Union—ana for the attainment of this great and
good object, that no sacrifice would be too great. I
thought’ this could only be attained by allaying the
sectional strife, which so disturbs the whole country,
and which, if continued, must produce the most
calamitous results. I then thought, aud so wrote to
1 my friends in the South, that for the accomplishment
of this end it might be wise and proper for the
Whigs to sustain the election of Mr. Buchanan—and
thus make his majority so triumphant, that he would
feel himself, and be the President of the Nation, and
1 not of a party. Resides, being advanced in years, I
r hoped he would have no aspirations for are-election,
' and would therefore be likely to administer the Go
-1 vermnent with purity, and without party, or section
: al bias.
I never commended him to the Whigs as a choice,
: but only as an alternative—as the least of two evils;
l for I then thought the contest would be between him
> and Mr. Fremont al ne. Very scon afterward,
k however, my views underwent an entire change.
I became satisfied that the success of Mr. Buchanan
t would in no wise tend to allay sectional strife. On
>’ the contrary, that his election would most likely ag
gravate and prolong it, through the violence of his
f opponents —tor it is undeniably true, that he ia as
' much a Southern sectional, as Mr. Fremont a North
i ern sectional, candidate. With Mr. Buchanan’s
' election the agitation would be continued—with Mr.
* Fremont’s election the crisis would be the more
? speedily brought to the culminating point—not sim
* ply by his election, but through the measures of his
- adherents.
Since Mr. Fillmore’s return from Europe, hispros
i pects have so strengthened and improved, that I
* think no true Whig can hesitate in his choice. He
- is the only one of the three suited to the crisis. II ••
1 is national in tone and sentiment. On him, and
through him, a National parly may be built up,
- strong enough to over-ride all others—and especial
ly all sectional parties. Ilis friends may confidcnt
i ly rely on his obtaining the vote of this State. I en
tertain the opinion, that the success of all parties
heretofore lias depended more on their organization
1 than on their principles. If this be so, then Mr.
- Fillmore ought to carry New York, for the party that
s supports him is much the best organized of the
1 three.
I am much averse to appearing before the public
in any way. It would, however, be unjust to Mr.
Fillmore—a man for whose public and political
course I entertain so profound a respect—to with
hoM from him any influence, however small, I may
1 possess. I seek not to obtrude my opinions on
1 others; but I seek to be fairly quoted and repre
-3 sented in the present canvass. I could not, consci
entiously, withhold from my friends, my present
views. I have advised all, to whom I wrote in Jun« ,
1 of the change stated above, and the reasons for it.
They are satisfactory to myself, and I hope will be
so to them. I am, yours, <fcc.
Stephen Duncan.
e Gov. Floyd iu New Y'ork.
The fact has already been announced by Tele**
8 graph, that of Virginia, one of the
t Democratic Electors in the Old Dominion, bad de
clared in a speech, at the Exchange in New York,
! ou Thursday last, that he would vote for Fillmore,
. if it was necessary to defeat Fremont, and that
x Virginia'would so vote. Wc have, however, forbore
. to make any comment, until we could see tliat
speech and see what he did say. Here it. is :
Wliat I have to say ia this, and you will excuse
me, I trust, if there ia a little egotism in it, because
1 if there is anything I hate to talk about, it is about
' myself. I have never yet expressed an opinion
which I intend to retract. But I say that such iu
tlie change of aspect iu political affairs, that I have
witnessed since 1 came North—and there is not a
. man in the South that will say there is any ground
. of suspicion na to my fidelity to the Democratic
1 party, and I tell you here that lam an elocto. in Vir
ginia, and am going to be chosen, [cries of “good." | '
—if you ran show me that the candidate of th ■
\ Black Republican party can only be beaten by n>
p vote for Mr. Fillmore, why then I wVI give my vote
\ for him, if the ground should open and swalloir
' me. [Applause.] I will tell you something more,
\ Virginia, Democratic Virginia, that never failed,
' never faltered, and never tired, in the most critical
* times, wdl come out and stand at my back in that
j crisis. [Cheers.]
j Tlrs declaration of Governor Floyd, show's very
- clearly which way the current is setting in New
J Y'ork—that the indications are all in favor of Fill
s more. Hence his readiness to avow himself willing
, to become an eleventh hour supporter. If lie is as
[ anxious for the preservation of the peace and quiet
I of the country as he affects to be, he will go back to
i Virginia, and like an honest, true-hearted patriot,
’ tell the people Buchanan has no chance, and it is
' their duty as patriots and good citizens, to rally to
[ the support of Fillmore.
Another Sign in New Y'ork.—Maj. Williams,
a sub Elector on the Buchanan ticket iu New-York,
after signifying his determination to vote for Fill
more, thus defines his position, in a curd which ho
publishes in the Brooklyn Star:
, “That the struggle in the City and State of New
’ Y'ork, will be between Fillmore and Fremont, is no
! longer a matter of question. And the vote of the
State of New York will inevitably decide the result
* of the election as far as the chances of Col. Fremont
are concerned.”
To this he adds :
“And, ns the time of election approaches, think
well, ye conservative Democrats of New York, who
i had resolved to vote for Buchanan ! ask yourselves
whether he can hope to gain the vote of your State,
and resolve, if you can entertain a doubt on this
subject, to vote in accordance with patriotic princ.i
‘ pies, and for Millard Fillmore, that you may add,
* each of you, by your vote, to the vote of him, who
i alone can defeat the candidate of tlie Black Repub
licans.”
Let men calling themselves Democrats in Tennes
see, the Carolinas, Georgia, Alabama, and other
Southern States, consider these sensible remarks,
and act upon their convictions of right. It is plain
to be seen, tliat Buchanan has no chances of suc
cess, while Fillmore has!
Northern Conservatism. —A few days sinc3
we lmd the pleasure, says the Montgomery Journah
of meeting aud conversing with an old friend from
Autaugaville on his way home, having been North
for some time. He has visited several of the North
ern States, and brings good accounts for Fillmore,
particularly so from Now York. During his so
journ in Stonington, East Connecticut, he heard in
substance the following remarks of a Fillmore
man in the streets to a crowd of Fremonteiis.
lie boldly asserted that the South had rights un
der the Constitution, and that if the worst had to
come, he would be found on the side of the South,
battling for her rights ! All that the Abolitionists
had accomplished, said he, was the repeal of the Com
promise, and if it had not been for them peace would
now be restored.
The Abolitionists then asserted that slavery was
a moral evil.
To this the Fillmore man replied, that they were
not the agents of the Southern people, and had noth
ing to do with slavery, and were not responsible
for it whether good or evil, and should not inter
fere ; with the South rested the institution, and
she would and ought to decide the question for her
self!
Hear, yo Buchaniers, how Fillmore’s friends
at the North stand up to him and the South! How
vastly different the language used by your candi
dates for the two highest offices in the people’.!
gift! How different from the language of you.*
Sourthem candidate, Mr. Breckinridge, while on

can be thereby accomplished !
More Democratic and Fkeesoil Fusion in
Pennsylvania! —The Columbus Enspiirer says:
The Democracy of the 13th jCongressional Distric t
of Pennsylvania have nominated William 11. Dim
mick as their candidate for Congress, to succeed !
Mr. Packer, who is a member of the present Cor - !
gress, and is one of the national Democrats of tha*
body. The Philadelphia North American (a Fre
mont paper) thus editorially notices this nomina
tion :
“Wayne presented several candidates, and, after
a long contest, Dimmick was selected from among
them. The Honesdale Dt mocrat says that he is, rt \
heart, opposed to the whole administration policy. »
though afraid to oppose it openly; and tfiat hi
nomination is a sort of concession to the anti slavei v
sentiment of the District.”
Thus they sacrifice professed principle for avail
ability and for any coalition that will bring them
strength; and aL the same time their allies at the
the South bitterly denounce some of the Fillmore
men of the North for pursuing fust the same court a
in their locel elections! By just such men as Dim
mick is represented to be, have the Freesoil ranks of
the North been yearly recruited. Like Sumner,
Hamlin, Preston King, Van Buren, Reeder, Lane,
*Soc., he will be a sort of Democrat when elected
but will very soon be “openly” acting with the par
ty with which he “at heart'’ sympathies.

Hie truth of this prediction is now apparent even
to Mr. Buchanan’s warmest friends, who, in effoi !,
give it up. Since I then wrote, several very promi
nent and influential Democrats—old leaders—have
come out agaiust him, and hi favor of Fremont.
Among these are Sam. D. Ingham, John M. Bead,
1 1 -n. Ptu viaiice, Carlton R.Curtis, and many t their-,
hundreds, thousands, indeed, of less not . Tho old
Democratic strongholds, which the Whigs could
never penetrate, and one which they could never
m.-ks the Last impression, art! now strongly tainted
with Bidck Republicanism, and not a few of them
will give anti Buchanan majorities!
The Slate election takes place there on the 14th
ol October, and I think it safe to say that it will
show a majority against the “Squatter Sovereign’'
candidate of from 15,000 to 40,000.
In New Jersey beds also greatly in the minority
now, and as in Pennsylvania, is falling daily by the
desertion of the timid, and such as like to go with
the biggest crowd. But while he is in the descond
ing scale, Mr. Fillmore is in the as3cneing. There
was a time, and that but lately, when no one could
be made to believe Mr. Fillmore had “‘the ghost o!
a chance,’* but that time is passed, things have as
sumed a new phase, and the current is now running
in a contrary direct on. The withdrawal of Mr. Bu
chanan, and the substitution of Mr. Fillmore, is even
mooted by the present supporters of the former.
They say that it is cleai which way the tide is set
ting, and there is no use in attempting to disguise
it; that Mr. Buchanan is losing strength rapidly,
and his defeat is already clearly foreshadowed ; that
under these circumstances, and seeing with wluit a
tornado like force fanaticism is sweeping over tho
Norik, and the danger of its gaining tho ascendant,
it WaH be unwise to adhere to a falling candidate,
when by uniting on another, and a safe man, they
can erect a barrier against the wild rush of Black
Republicanism.
The National Whig Convention, which was such
a body as the old VV'bigs had reason to bo proud of,
has exU nded and is having a very great influence.
Thousands of old Whigs who were before sapiue
and indifferent—many of them disposed to go for
Buchanan, and not a few committed to him, have
been waked up and become active Fillmore men.
This is especially the case iuMaryland and Virginia,
and the effect has given an impetus to the Fillmore
cause in those States and elsewhere. Maryland is
ours by a majority of from 5000 to 10,000; I cannot
claim Virginia yet, with any degree of confidence,
though many of our friends do. A large farmer
was at our market on Saturday last from Fauquier
county, who confidently asserts that the vole will
be given to Fillmore and Donelson, and when this
was disputed by half a dozen Buchanan nu n, lie
offered to bet SIOOO to SSOO that such would be the
fact, which oiler no one dared to take. 11 is reasons
for Ins belief, lie stated to be, that he knew that
about 20 per cent of the voters of his county, an !
other parts of Virginia with which ho was con \< r
sant, had changed and come over to Fillmore and
Donelson within a w'eek or two past, bi lieving now
that the contest was to-be between Fillmore mid
Fremont, and not well satisfied with Buchanan’s
“squatter sovereignty” and “Ostend” notions ; and
believing too, that lie had been upon all sides of
the sapling, as circumstances appeared to indicate
advantage to himself.
The municipal election in Balmorc will take place
on the Stli instant —two days after the State elec
tion in Florida ; both these elections are important,
inasmuch as they will encourage or depress our
friends. Both parties are putting forth their whole
strength in Baltimore, knowing the important bear
ing the result is to have. I think the allied army
of Americans, Whigs and Democrats, w ill curry tin*
day, and elect their candidate for Mayor, Tims.
Swann, by a majority of from 1000 to 2000. If they
do this, there will be an immense rise in Fillmore
stock in Delaware, Maryland and Virginia, inas
much as it will inspire that confidence m i.is suc
cess which has been lacking. I said in my letter of
file 11th of August, “1 know that the game <ff brng
is being played by both the Democrats (Sag Nichfq
and Republicans; and a part of them ah > is to de
preciate the chances of Air. Fillmore. The argu
ment used at the North is, that, !)«■ stands no chance,
because, no Southern State will go tor him, and at
the South, because no Northern States will vote
for him. This creates mutual distrust. Now all
that is wanted is mutual confidence , and a mutual
resolution to stand firm, and each to do their duty
at all events and under all circumstances. I repeat
that this is the only way to prevent Fremont irom
being elected,” and I now reiterate it. But that
confidence which I then invoked is being establish
ed, and it will in the end, I firmly believe, crown
our efforts with a.gloriuus victory.
Everywhere at the North, the friends of Fill
more are fully roused and putting forth all the’r
energies, and their enthusiasm exceeds that of 1810
and 1811; and I know the South is not asleep.
The Courier ,des Eta Is Unis , of New' York, a
Buchanan paper, proposes the withdrawal of !• •r.
Buchanan, and the substitution of Mr. Fillmore, for
lye purpose of defeating Fremont. T.
Another Democratic Fraud.— The Athena
Watchman my There is an anonymous letter go
ing the rounds of the Democratic press, sett'ng forth
I hat Mr. Dcchanan is opposed to squatter sove
reignty. This letter is without any signature, but
is addressed at the bottom to “Wm. 15. Figures,
Esq.*’ Seeing the boldness of the attempt to de
lude the people by means ot a pretended letter
without any ait'nature to it, certain Democratic pa
pers have changed it, and placed “Wm. B. Fig
ures, Esq.” as a signature to it—so ns to give it the
appearance 6f a bonajide letter! We have seen it
published in the Savannah Gcorgean *s• Journal m
this shape. We do not think that this respectable
journal intended to deceive its readers, and it will no
doubt make the 'necessary correction. The letter,
ns published, appears to have been written by “Wm
B. Figures,” when, in truth, ns it originally up
appeared, it purported to have been addresed to
him, and in lieu of a responsible name had simply a
row of ominous stars appended.

The Democracy and Squatter Sovereignty
The Texas State Times published at Austin gives
the follow nig account of a war among the Dcmocre
cy of that quarter in respect to the doctrine of Squat
ter Sovereignty:
“On Fridy night of last week, Col. IJ»milfon, tin?
Democratic candidate for Elector for the Western
district, delivered, in the Hull of Representatives, ••••
long, well digested speech, and ot very decided
ability, in favor of the doctrine of “Squatter Sover
eignty." Ilis position, as we understood it, is that
as soon as a territory is organized by Congress, it
legislature possessessovereign power to legislate up
on all subjects—slavery included, to eslablihli or for
bid it; that this power is not derived from Congr* -
but is inherent in the people of the territory ; ami
that this is the doctrine of the Cincinnati platlbnu.*
On Wednesday night last, Col. Sublet! uml «Judg
Oldham answered the speech of Col. Hu.nilion.—•
Tiiey took directly opposite gnimcD, niHuitaining
that sovereignty does not exist in the people of .

not legislate to establish or exclude slavery from t( -
territories, and cannot therefore transmit thatpow,
to a territorial legiflbrtttre*, and this thfey saw wa
the doctrine of the Cincinnati platform ; that ti»eex
erciae of such a power by the legislature of a t rri
tory is mischevious and dangerous, and more to he
deprecated by the South than its exercise by Con

Stock at Liverpool. —The New Orleans Cn
scent says, from all the information before us w«
gather that the stock of cotton in Liverpool i s m
ho large by 100,000 to 125,000 bales, as the circular
make it appear. This discrepancy arises from coi
ton which is purchased on this side for spinner’s a<
count being taken direct from the ship's side by cm
new direct to the factories, aud being reported o
arrival and added to the stock on hand, but not d<
ducted from the stock on going into consumption
spinners forbidding their camera from reporting co
ton so taken.
Frost ix East Mississippi.— The Mobile T>

will be great injury if not total destruction to tl.
unmatured cotton crop.
The Democratic papers are publishing an artic.

oienby apparent, even if ii had not been used to
t righteu conservative men into voting for the Deni

“V* «uv mill. r;::ed to contradict. Ihe statement in

M Fillmore.- -In a private letter, received a

of i h v, the following characteristic language
occurs ; —“ Whatcrer may be. my fair , personally , is
not tv .lit a thought, if the integrity of the Con

This lurguiigi- is worthy of Millard Fillmore. It

not a single abolitionist will vote for Air. Fillmore.

“But th - true que bion is not , what is Abe past of

what is their pr mit on that subject. And hero

C 1. Freme t ie boldh ascending the anti-slavery

Buchanan s Squatter Sovereignty Uphelu
it burn ! —The Jefferson (Texas) Herald is
a Democratic and Southern Rigbfs paper that re
iu*'-o to Rapport Mr. Buchanan because of his ad
vocacy of the doctrine, of squatter sovereignty.
We h uvn from it that one of the Democratic Elec
tors in T<* as is out for squatter sovereignty. From
the Herald of the 16th ull., we copy this
graph :
“There appears to be considerable contrariety of

The Vigilam e Committee of California.—
A letter from California in regard to the San Fran
cisco Vigilance Committee, evidently written by
on ! hi: ! ilio scenes, says that the committee
would remain in ant ate of perfect quietude until the
ter.. : i.i .. ii of tii.? trial of Messrs. jJukkek and
J as) for piracy, in seizing United States arms,
w! i, should it be found that a packed jury had
been b iued for the trial, the as is alleged
to h ive been the case in the j'lry which found the
indict meat, the committee would be again called
into 1 ■■ and in that evont, adds the writer,awarof
extermination will ensue.
b he i’r. o i ion.—The Raleigh Register says:—ln
all our o! s -rv.itioii, during the elections in which
wo i.ave tak* u pai t, we have never seen a Candi
da'* :in s . t-ngi h, as the election approached, os
rapMly as Mr. Fillmore is doing in the present
ca pa.’ign. I-lis nomination by the Whig National
Convention has given him great, additional chances
all over the country ; the accession of the North
Americans in New York is a most remarkable ad
dition to liis strength ; the discovery in the South of
the cheat whi h has been attempted to be praotieed
on them, by the false assertion, which for a time
gained eh remarkable credence there, that the
only way to defeat Fremont was to vote for Bu
chanau, Buchanan being able to carry several
Northern States while Fillmore could carry none*
is working a wonderful revolution all South of Ma
son and Dixon’s Line ; in Kentucky, Tennessee,
Louisiana, Georgia, North Carolina and Alabama,
such aje-action lias taken place that they are now
e >ihaim**.4 certain for Fillmore, while even
in Virgi i.T f mj ouri, Mississippi and Texas, thero
will be • i >of thousands—in the opinion of many,
to carry them for the American candidates—
between now and the election.
! Since the meeting of the Whig national Conven
tion, as many as fifty newspapers, that were before
either taking no part in politics, or in favor of one
or the other of opposing candidates, iiave hoist
ed the Fillmore flag.
We only ask all candid men to take notice of tho
signs of the times, and if tiiey do not come to tho
conclusion that Fillmore has the best and only chance
of getting a majority in the electoral college, let
them wait till the election and that will prove it!
A Democratic Trick. —The locofoco papers are
publishing an article protesting against the action
of the Jute National Whig Convention, and credit
ing it to the Boston Courier. The Courier is a
staunch and able supporter of Mr. Fillmore, and
has C i dially endorsed his nomination by the Whigs
of the Union. The article referred to is from the
Boston AdmrUser, at one time a Whig journal, but
j now III* ultra advocate of Black Republicanism .—
Sucln i .logicsof political warfare are eminently
disreputable.

Death of Cai-t. Nicholas Davis. —We learn
from t ie Huntsville (Ala.) Democrat that Captain
Nkh. Davis died at his residence in Limestone

A few days ago one hundred mules were sold in
Scott county, Ky., at an average of $177 each. Our-
So all. .suiters have here another illustration of
the fact that they can never fully realize the benefit*
of a high price for cotton until they raise their own
stock and provisions—for an advance in the price
of lire one is always attended by u corresponding
appreciation of the value of the others.
Quite a laugh was raised in the Supreme Court,
