Gov. Geary is doing hia duty in with
energy—nd impartiality. The quiet which reigns
in the Territory is in striking contrast with the
•Genes of devastation and bloodshed of which, until
I his ap{>ointment, accounts came by every mail. The

the appointment of the right sort of a man, why was
it not done before. Why was civil war suffered to
, reach such a pitch when it could have been so easily
I quelled t
TL<; infamous Black Republican journals are en
deavoring to impeach Gov. Geary’s honesty and
impartiality, but the truth is, they would complain
of any Governor who attempted to still the trouble d
w aters. The‘‘Prince of Peace’ - himself would not
suit them. No matter how much bloodshed and de
struction ensues, so they can use the cry of “bleed
ing KarjNas” to further their political objects. To
promote such obj ct they are continually hatching
up such news a-> contained in the following ds
patch :

A Trump Card.
?.Ir. Stephens' great card of late is, “ if Georgia
s muld vote for Fillmore, and thereby throw the
election into the House, how would you feel my
American friends V If Mr. Stephens should suc
ce°d in his zealous endeavor to deprive Mr. Fill
more of all support at the South, and to narrow the
contest down to Fkf.mont and Buchanan, thus be
yond doubt ensuriiig Fremont’s election, how
would Mr. Stephens feel f
Fillmore mid Dunrhon in Virginia.
The Baltimore Patriot say* : We were shown a
letter this morning, written by a gentleman in
Alexandria to his friend in this city, giving the most
encouraging account of the prospects of Fillmore
and Donelsou in the Old Dominion. The writer
had just returned from a protracted visit to the in
terior of the State, and he says he has never, on any
simila occasion, observed the same degree of en
ihusianm as is at present manifested for the American
candidates. We hear the same thing from other
s mrces, and concerning other Southern States.
There can be no doubt that Mr. Fillmore is rapidly
gaming friends, not only in Virginia, but through
out ilih South, and recent events only tend to make
tuo accessions to his standard more numerous
First, wo had the proceedings of the Old Lino Whig
Convention, telling with thrilling effect on that gal
lant old party—at the time partially dismembered—
which has always stood foremost when the Union
was in danger ; then we had tho action of the poli
licians of the Empire State, by which her electoral
vote is secured beyond a doubt for tho man of whom
that State may well feel proud ; and lastly, the great
American triumph in Baltimore on Wednesday, by
which our own Stnto in Hccurcd for Fillmore and
Donelson beyond the shadow of a doubt, had sent
j<»y and gludness into tho hearts of thousands of pa
triots throughout tho land. These events have had
the effect of strengthening the weak, deciding .he
wavering, aud of making the strong still in
their faith. All that the friends of tho American
candidates have now to do is to keep the ball in
motion—work on without any intermission, and on
tho fourth of November next we shall achieve such
a victory as will forever put to rest all attempt* to
.sever the blessed Union of tho States.
The Diffehenck —The New Orleans Bulletin
says:—We have nothing to do with the Amesicau
party or its tenets. Its own organs are abundantly
able to lake care of their own cause. Butwecaunot
help noticing the striking coincidence between the
doctrine of the American party, iu regard to foreign
ers and the oath which every foreigner is required by
our laws to take before 1 e can become a citizen of
the United States. The following is the part of the
American platform we allude to :
X .—No person should be selected for political sta
tion (whether ot native or foreign birth) who recog
nizes any allegiance or obligation , of any descrip
tion, to toreigu Prince, Potentate or Power.
And the following a part of the oath every natu
ralized citizen has taken :
And I do absolutely renounce adand jure all alle
giencc and fidelity to any foreign Prince, Potentate,
State or Sovereignty whatever.
Now, will some astute auti Know Nothing tell us
m what the difference consists ?
Fillmore on Slavery. —The Charleston Cou
rier of the 28th ult. contains a long, argumentative,
and calm letter, from a “Southron,” now at the
North, in which tho South is urged to support Mr.
Fillmore. The writer argues that Mr. Fillmore
is the only candidate that can be elected by the
people, aud regarding Fremont’s election as an
impossibility, considers Mr. Fillmokf/s prospects
with the people and iu the House, better than that
of Mr. Buchanan. After bestowing the highest eu
logiumonhie administration whilst President, the
writer enforces his claims not only as a national
man, but with those constitutional sentiments which
renders him especially acceptable to the South. The
writ r having lately had a free intercourse with Mr.
Fillmore, says:
I have it from his own lips, and that at a time
when he h«d passed fr m a successful adininistra
turn of the National Government to the retirement
nud privacy of life, and when he was without a
prospect or even a wish for renomination or restora
tion to the Presidency, that his opinions had been
revolutionized aui hri prejudices dissipated ou tho
subject of Biavery in the Southern and Southwest
< ri! S'- tes ; that he believed the so-oal'ed freedom
of the black and colored population in the non-slave
hold'.u-r states to be a mockery and a cheat, and
that elnverv was the best condition of the African
met- in this country, best both for the black race and
the white rice, and that the Union could only be
perpetuated **y a faithful observance of the consti
turioual rights of the South, and non interference
with slavery on the part of the lion slave holding
States of the Government; and his convictions were
greately strengthened by his Southern tour, which
un eye witness of the workiug of our domestic, in
stitution.

il her one of them was tried aud found guilty of mu
\ ,uv, I was loyal to the Constitution and laws of my
. >mi try. It is needless to add that Igo for the other
candidate —Miilurd Fillmore.
If this venerable gentleman, says the New Or
leans Crescent were the most gifted orator in the
laud, and had spoken hours .ustead of moment*, he
could uot have said more than he uid say, or sai it
better. His speech deserves to rank among the
most finished and felicitous specimens of condensed
argument It is a model of eloquent brevity.
Buchanan at the North —The Fredonia Cen
’.a paper published in New Hampshire, the very
strongest citadel of Democracy at the North, hoists
t ie dag of Fillmore and Donelson, and in giving
the reasons for its change, says :
“l'p to the present time, we have advocated the
i eoiLtu of Mr. Buchanan, and now we prefer him
1 > either of the o’her candidates. But Mr Buchan
: a is powerless here at the North, aud will not carry
i single State. Every Southern State cannot elect
’.in, and we are satisfied that he can’t carry them
ii. But if the South will rally to Fillmore, he can
e elected and the Union saved. It is to aid in this
i.ood work, and iu the overthrow of the Catholic and
- ctioual candidate. Fremont, that we this day de
clare for F.ll more ”
Mark the Fact. —There are, says the Char
lottesville American, in Virginia and the rest of the
Southern States thousands of disunionist*, ready at
a »y moment and without additional motives, to dis
solve the Union of these States. There are as many
u.admen in the North. We care not where these
disunionist*, may live, whether North or South, we
defy any man to point out a sing e one who sup
ports Fillmore They are all for BrcHAKAKor
Fremont
What Thet Sat.— lt is very common, says the
Alabama Matt, in the Buchanan papers to quote
t e opinions of persons newly-arrived from the
North, to bolster Buchanan's chance*. In many in
s nice*, the references are no doubt bogus.
We beg to refer now to two gentlemen just ar
rived from the North, who are satisfied that the only
c iance to save the Government, is by uniting upon
Fldmors— and who. moreover, believe that his
chances for election are every day improving. One
o. these gentlemen ie a wealthy planter of this city .
ti e other a Mobile merchant of the highest charac

The following, which we clip from the Huntsville
Democrat , is Col. Clemens’ reply to a correspond
ence between Gen. Geo. S. Houston and Hon. 8.
A. Douglas, in which the latter gentleman denies
that he voted for the repeal of the Missouri Com
promise, because it tolerated slavery South of 36 :
30':
J'o the Editor* of the Democrat: —Gents : In
your paper of the 18th inst., there is a correspond
ence between Mr. Houston and Judge Douglas,
which requires a brief note from me. In a upeech
delivered by me, on the 26th of July, I said :
“J udge Douglas declared that he voted for the
repeal of the Missouri Compromise, not as a n.eaeure
ot justice to the tSouth, but because it tolerated sla
very Myth of 36° 30'.'’
In r*ply to Mr. Houston, Judge Douglas sr.ys :
“Coi. Clemens has been misinformed on the sub
ject, and his statement aligning my reasons for in
troducing and supporting the Kansas Nebraska act,
are entirely without foundation”
Judge Douglas is entitle*! to all the benefit to be
derived from the denial, but it is aue to me that the
authority upon which I mride the statement should
go along with it. Judge Douglas made many
speeches on the repeal of the Missouri Compromise,
they were retried for the most part by his
own political friends. The Chicago Times is under- 1
stood to be hia h »me organ; from a speech of his
published in that paper, I take the following ex
tract :
“The great objection you have is to the repeal of
the Missouri Compromise. (Cries ot yea, yes.)—
Well, what was the Compromise f It was
the prohibition of slavery north of line aDd recog
nition of slavery »ouih of that line. Wa* there (lie
ofcked) a man in thu crotcd who was tn favor of
recognizing xt south of any line /**
Il Judge Douglas did not Uee thi3 language, he
ought to have denied it at the time. It wan pub
lished in the city of his residence—it made its ap
pearance in a paper known to be in his interest—it
Lad its fu 1 effect upon the elections then pending in
Illinois, and it is too late now to qualify or explain
it.
Again : at a mass meeting at Indianapolis, in the
.State of Indiana, Judge Douglas said:
“The objection to the Missouri prohibition is, that
it is uusouud in principle, and legalize* slavery
South an much as it prohibits it North. What one
iuhu now, in this vast assembly, is willing to restore
tuis line ? If one, let him give his name. Is there
au abolitionist present who is willing to restore this
liue? Is there a Know Nothing ? If so, give us
his name, for Bamum wants him. Any one can
make his fortune by exhi. iting him as a monkey
show.”
i hope Gen. Houston will see from the above ex
tracts that I cannot conscientiously retract the
charge that Judge Douglas favored the repeal of
the Missouri Compromise because it legalized
slavery south of 36:o0
One other matter, and I have done. I have again
and again distrinctiy cnarged that Judge Douglas
was an advocate ol .Squatter Sovereignty, iu its
most odious form. Will not Houston, or
some other ol his friends, address him a letter upon
that subject also, inquiring how far the charge is
true. Surely it is equally as important as the little
matter to which the Gen. has already called his at

Letter from ifeuj. 11. 11111.
Th* following letter from the Hon. Bbnj. U.
Hill, American Elector, takes the wind completely
out of the sails of the West Point Committee, and
other braggarts about d acussion:
LaGrange, Ga., Oct. 4,1856.
Messrs. Whitaker, Darden , and others , Committee.
Gentlemen :—Your letter purporting to have
been dated on the 27th September, was received by
me several dayß a ter that date. You enclosed a
large printed hand-bill, in which you, iu a real brag
gart style, challenge myself aud Hon. James E. Bel
ser and Hon. Thomas li. Watts to discussion with the
Hon. Wm. L. Yancey, at West Point, on the 11th of
this month.
In the first place, I wish to say that I am fully sat
isfied that Mr. Yancey neither used, authorized, or
will approve the style, language or character of that
challenge, and I therefore, iu advance, acquit him of
tho indiscretion of his friends.
In the next place, I answer that for two weeks
before your hand bills appeared, I had a published
appointment for another and remote place on the
day selected and at which place another distin
guished Democrat is to meet me in discussion. Os
this appointment, you either did knout, or r cry easi
ly could have knoirn, before your day was selected,
and that, too, iu good time to have avoided conflict
ing the appointments.
in the third nlace, I answer that I happened to
pass through West Point on the 28th day of Sep
tember, the day after your letter purports to be da
ted, and about three da>s before I received it, at
which time I was shown your hand-bill, and one of
you was then distinctly notified by me of the fore
going facts, and I informed him at once that if the
meeting was postponed ouo week, or to any other
day convenient to Mr. Yancey, I would be present.
This was declined. Yet I am informed that your
party are already saying youkuew I would not be
present, and that you would claim it as a back-out.
If you knew I would not be there, why did you ap
point that day 7 If you desired me to be there,
why did you not so arrange that I could be there ?
One word more. In tho beginning of this can
v/iMrt, when I had published appointments at distant
points, your party, through its speakers, were mak
ing public and noisy professions of a great desire to
meet me. I gave notice through the press that I
should remain in W estern Georgia during the sit
tings of the Courts, and alter wards should be else
where at the call of my friends. During the sitting
ol the Courts, this noisy desire did not manifest it
self. Now the Courts are over and my appoinments
foi distant portions of the State are again publish
ed, and this noise and great desire ana brave chal
lenges are again becoming common. I draw no
conclusions, but I state the facts.
Some gentlemen may desire to make reputations
by bragging, and it would be uncharitable to de
prive them of this means of doing so, as they would
then be left bankrupt in stump oratory.
I make these statements that my friends may know
why I do not appear at the various places to which
lam challenged, for I have been publicly chal
lenged to meet gentlemen at places, when the very
persons making challenges were previously and per
sonally notified that it was not possible for me to be
there. Such bragging is now reaching my ears eve
ry day ; but it is also proper to state that some of
the gentlemen tell me that they have been mis re
ported by their own friends, and that they have
never indulged in such language and habits. As
such denial amounts to a disclaimer, courtesy re
quires me to be satisfied, and so I am.
Yours truly, B. H. Hill.
Destructive Fire and Loss of Life.
The Philadelphia Inquirer of Friday morning
gives the following particulars of a destructive fire
and loss of life in that city Thursday night :
About half past nine o’clock last evening, smoke
was observed issuing from Messrs. Ervin and Stin
son’s woollen and flannel manufactory, on the east
side of Clinton street, near Montgomery.
The alarm was promptly given to the Central Po
lice Station, and the firemen were soon summoned
to the scene of the conflagration, but their efforts to
save the place were unavailing, and in the course of
an hour the entire place was a mass of ruins—the
falling walls crushing to death one men, and severe
y injuring five otherr.
The second story of the building was occupied by
Messrs. Erwin & Stinson, who lost about $1,200
worth of goods. They were the owners of the
building, which cost about $5,000. Their loss is
fully covered by insurance. They lost all their ma
chines.
The third story of the building was occupied by
Mr. John Elliott and Mr. Wm. Kowbotton, weavers
and carders of wool. They lose all their machines,
and as far as we could learn, had but a small insu
rance.
The fourth story of the building was occupied
by Messrs. John Henderson &. Co., weavers and
spinners of wool. We were unable to learn the
extent of the loss, but it was comparatively small.
While the firemen were pouring water into the
building, a portion of the front wall fell, carrying
with it a ladder and a number of persons to the
ground.
Mathew Hamilton, residing in Howard street,
above Jefferson, was instantly crushed to death.—
He was 21 years of age, and a single man. He was
a box maker by trade, and a runner with the Tay
lor Hose Company.
Two other young men are missing, whom, it Is
feared are buried in the ruins.
Mr. John Dean was severely injured.
Samuel Hill, residing in Columbia avenue, below
Oxfo d, was also badly injured; one of his legs was
broken.
Charles Stewart, a young man, was badly cut
about the head and body.
Two other persons, whoso names we were unable to
learn, were badly bruised, being among those
thrown from the ladder when the front wall fell. The
fire was undoubtedly the worn of an incendiary, as
the flames were discovered on the stairway where
fire is never used.

Thirtt Fite Persons Poisoned at a Camp-
Meeting. —A correspondent of the Athens, (Tenn.)
Post, details the particulars of a case of poisoning
which occuired at a Camp Ground near Dand
ridge, Jefferson county, Tenn. We extract the fol
lowing from the correspondence published in the
Post:
At a Camp Meeting at Shady Grove, in this coun
ty, on last Monday morning, many persons were ta
ken sick, and were found to have been poisoned.—
All who ate dinner on Sunday at the tent of Mr. jj.
F. Shaffell were sick to the number of 35, so far as
we have heard; all are, however, recovering,, ex
cept one negro woman, who died, although some
were dangerously sick.
Four years ago, at a Camp Meeting inßlount co.,
there was a similar case of poisoning occurred at the
tent of Mr. Shaffell'e father, more fatal, however,
than this is likely to be. A negro of the family is
suspected to have put the poison in the food pre
pared for dinner.
The Case in a Nctshkll.—Daniel Peck, Esq.,
American nominee for the Supreme Bench of Ohio,
sets forth the evil of the rimes, and the remedy
briefly but clearly, in the few words following:
Sow the sections arrayed against each other. If
Buchanan should be elected, the North will be
greatly dissatisfied, and if Fremont should be elect
ed, the South will consider itself insulted, and in a
great measure excluded from any participation in
the government of the country; but if Fillmore
should bo chosen by the people to be their Chief
Magistrate, neitber’section could claim it as a vic
tory, and peace and harmony won Id be restored.—
This seems to me to be the remedy for the dangers
which now encompass us on all sides.
Meteoroloot. —The mean of the thermometer
for September is 71.4. Nearly 10 degrees below
that of August. On the 25th at sun rise, the ther
mometer stood at 42 deg. the highest point was on
the 19th at 2 P. M. 69 deg.
The highest point of Barometer was 19.64.. the
lowest 29. 28., being a range of 36.
The amount of rain in inches 2.12. Nearly the
whole of which (1.91. inches) fell in a tew hours on
the afternoonof the 12th.
We had two frosts on the 24th and 55th Septem
ber which is remarkable for this month. Some
vears since we had a white tryst on the Ist of Octo
ber. but from the statement of one of the oldest in
habitants, it has been about a half century since a
frost occurred in September. Then, the tobacco,
which was the stable product of the country, was
all killed.— Sparta Georgian.
Hail Storm. —On tbs 30th alt. a violent hail
storm passed over Meckienbug co.. Va. The To
bacco Plant says:
Entire fields of Tobacco arc in utter ruins, od!v
enough being left to show the extent of the ininry
The lalaniity a really a most serious one under ex
isting circumstances. The corn crops of this en
tire county are such complete failures that the farm
ers have relied upon the proceeds of their tobacco
crops to bn v them bread. This resource being swept
awav from them, they are left in a very unpleasant
situation. Much of the tobacco destroyed was very
psomising.
The Old Line Whigs.— The Whigs of New Or
leans had a very spirited meeting in the parlor of
the St. Charles Hotel last evening, to make the pre
liminary arrangements for a mass meet’ng to ratify
the proceedings of the Baltimore Whig Conven
tion and confirm the nomination of Millard
Fillmore. Able and eloquent addresses were
delivered, and the right leeling evinced. The
Whigs of New Orleans exceed in number what is
generally supposed, and they are all true and staunch

The following Telegraphic despatches from Har
risburg, Pennsylvania, the Capitol of that State,
may possibly check the stereotyped falsehoods which
the Southern Democracy arc circulating about fu
sion in Pennsylvania :
Harrisburg, Oct. 7.-—The Republican State
committee and the committee of the North Ameri
cans met to-day, and adjourned to meet again on the
16th, without forming an electoral ricke', which was
the object of the meeting. The North Americans
refused to aid in formation of a new electoral
ticket. The town is filled wi»h prominent politicians.
Thaddeus Stevens, Thurlow YY Preston King,
and Messrs. Edge and Sanford, of New York ; Go
vernor Johnson, James Wade, Simon Cameron
and others were present mingling among the com
mittee.
Another despatch styles this a fraudulent attempt
to obtain a conference between the two committees.
Notices had been sent to the members as tfiough by
authority of the chairman of the committees. The
fraud was detected and very few members were in
attendance, and those refused to countenance the
attempt.
Harrisburg, Oct. 7. —The fraduient attempt
made by the Republicans to get a Conference of
(Liferent Committees here to-day, with a view to
form a Union Electoral Ticket, has signally failed,
and the Republican Committee has again adjourn
ed to meet on the 16th of the present month, 'lbe
scheme was abase one. Notices had been sent by the
Republicans to the members of the “Union State
Committee,” and the “Fillmore State Committee, ’
as though by the authority of the Chairman of these
bodies, calling the members t > meet at Harrisburg.
The fraud was detected, however early, and scarce
ly any of the members of either of these Commit
tees attended. The very few who did ao, refused
positively to have anything to do with the matter,
or to enter into any conference, and in high dudge
on the “Reps ’ abondoned theirscheme and adjourn
ed. There was a sort of self constituted Noithern
American Committee here, whom nobody knows
anything about, which also adjourned to the 16th.—
The Fillmore men in town are firm, aDd threaten
the Republicans, that if they do not keep hands oft*
they will get cracked.

A Word to Old Line Democrats.
’ The undersigned, Old Line Democrats of the
* county of Oglethorpe, having viewed fully the
5 whole grounds upon which are based the claims of
| the two parties and two candidates before the peo
i pie of the South, have determined, in their own
minds, that at this important juncture of public af
fairs—at this onslat ght of sectionalism from North
an 1 South—at this odious doctrine so palpably ap
parent in the Buchanan party, called “Squatter
Sovereignty’’ and “Alien Suffrage’—Southern men
of all parties, and above all Southern Democrats,
who have everyth! as a cardinal principle in their
articles of faith, that “a strict conarruction of the
Constitution of the United States” is absolutely es
sential to our equal rights in the Union, have no
alternative, other than that of giving to Mr. Fill
more, as the only true National candidate, a
hearty support. So believing, wo call upon you to
view this matter as we have done, without preju
dice, without fear, and careless of consequences to
ourselves individually. We ret out, not as previ
ous supporters of Mr. Fillmore—not as his endors
ers while he was President—but as Democrats who
had used all honorable means to defeat him and
General Taylor in 1848.
Thus have we been able to view his previous
acta and his present position, untrammeled by the
ties of party and from a position where predilections
could have had no influence. Our conclusion has
been arrived at in a manner, which we think, thould
commend itself to the minds of all whom wo ad
dress! We are aware, that, while the press and the
stamp speakers, who are worthy of notice, give
commendation to Mr. Fillmore as a sound man,
and one who will do his duty to the country—the
whole country; yet they have raised the cry of
non-availibility —for the purpose of estranging the
conservative men of the country—especially at the
South—from him; and thus, with one breath seem
ingly, disposed to be honest and honorable, with the
very next, they seek to damage him and the cause
of the Union, by the cry of want of avnilibility !
We would caution you, old line Democrats! who
still cling to your principles—to beware of this so
phistry ! All that the States Rights Democrats of
the South have ever asked—all they have desired or
wished is “ equal rights under the Constitution l"
The man who knows no North—no South—no East
and no West—whose acts and pledges are before
you—is the man to give the South equal rights
and equal justice, and that man is Millard Fill
more. Let partizan leaders “box the compass,”
to their heart’s content—let place hunters and ex
pectants fume as they may—this is the time, as in
1840, for the people of this great country—the con
servative men of ail parties, to rise up en masse
and rebuke the spoilmen as they did at that time!
It behooves the people to do this thing. Let us set
about it in good earnest and crush out this section
alism, whether it be from North or South. This
Confederacy is too precious a legacy to be destroy
ed by the vandalism of party. Its towering gran
deur is too sublime to be crumbled to dust—its bea
con light to the world too bright to be submerged in
the sloughs of base passions! We ask you, Old
Line Democrats, to look this matter full in the
face ! It is no time to sleep on your arms, under
the syren song of non-availability. Do but your
duty to yourselves—your country—your children—
your property and your homes—and leave the rest
to the disposer of all events.

have killed (as he believes ’.e has) all Know Nothing 1
possums, perhaps, on to night, just to keep his hand j
in, he would like to pitch into his quondam enemy,
the author of this elegant production. Let us hear c
him, and let us see who will face the
Music.
MR. STEPHENS AND THE CONSTITUTIONALIST. i
Is Mr. Stephens a worthy disciple of the school of <
Garrison? Would his sentiments be applauded by f
an abolition audience ? Would they pass muster t
where hatred of the institutions of the South was i
the stepping stone to power aud eminence ? Would 4
the homo of a man who entertained such sentiments 1
be more appropriately located North than South of 1
Mason <fc Dixon’s line ? Let his co-laborer in the
cause of alien suffrage and squatter sovereignty an- <
swer:
From the Constitutionalist, Sept .13, 1851.
In 1845, Mr. Stephens made a speech in Congress f
in favor of the annexation of Texas to the Union, j
after he had opposed it with ail the virulence be- (
longing to his nature.
In that speech he used the following language : (
“ ‘ This acquisition will give addition 1 power to ]
the South Western section in the National Council,
and for this purpose I want it. Not that lam de- .
sirons to see an extension of the area of slavery,
as some gentlemen have said its effects would be.— <
lam no defender of slavery in the abatiact, liberty ,
always had charms for me, and I would rejoice to
see all of Adam’s family in every land and clime, in (
the enjeymeut of those rights which are set forth in {
our Declaration of Independence as natural aud ,
inalienable, if a stern necessity, bearing the mark f
and impress of tbe Creator himself, did not in (
some cases, interpose and prevent. Such is the
case with the States where slaveiy now exists.— (
But I hare no wish to sec it extended to other {
countries, and if the annexation of Texas was for ]
the sole purpose of extending slavery where it does
not now , and would not otherwise exist, 1 would op
pose it (
“If these sentiments were uttered in a Friday i
evening’s speech in a school of Garrison’s they would ]
be applauoed by every abolition auditor. They f
would pass muster where hatred of the institutions )
of the South, was the stepping atone to power and \
eminence. We allow to Mr. Stephens the rights to
entertain these sentiments, but the home of the man j
who does entertain them would be more appro- j
priately located North than South of Mason & I)ix- j
on’s line. i
“Have we correctly quoted Mr. Stephens’ lan
guage ! We think we nave. His own words make
him an enemy to the extension of the area of slave
ry. For after saying that he is no defender of slave
ry in the abstract, he adds: ‘if the annexation of
'Texas was for the purpose of extending slavery
where it does not now, and would not otherwise ex
ist, I would oppose it.’ Well, Mr. Stephens tells us,
it does not exist in New Mexico and Utah. What
then! He would oppose its entension into those
territories. This is his meaning, or language has
no meaning at all. Mr. Stephens says : ‘I have no
wish to see it extended to other countries,’ 6c c. If
then as he says, slavery does not exist in Utah and
New Mexico, how coulS he, with his deliberately
expressed opinions, desire to see it extended there.
He could only desire it by proving false to hie prin
ciples.
Matter for serious reflection is here presented to
the Southern people. The Constitutionalist and
Mr. Stephens are now hand and glove. Has the
Constitutionalist, then, changed its principles since
September 13, 1851, or has Mr. Stephens come with
in the sphere of that cohesive attraction, which
binds the Democratic party together ! Or have
they struck hands in a bargain, and thrown them
selves into the arms of the New York Softs, whom
they declared unfit to be recognized as component
parts of any party organization not hostile to the
South ? Are such men and journals to be trusted
by the South ? Out of thine own mouth shalt thou
be condemned. The article of the Constitutionalist
quoted above, concludes as follows :
“Has Mr. Stephens ever retracted the sentiments
contained in his Texas annexation speech T If he
has we have never seen it. Was he sincere then,
or was his object to please the anti-slavery North ?
If he was sincere he is not the man for the South.
If he was not sincere, he is a selfish and dangerous
demagogue, who pampers Northern fanaticism tor
his own selfish enas, at the expense of the rights and
safety of the people ameng whom he lives.’’
Has the Constitutionalist retracted its sentiments
of 1851, expressed above ? If not, then, letting it
be the judge. Mr. Stephens is either a traitor to the
place of his nativity, or a selfish and dangerous
demagogue. If the* retraction have been made,
which shall we beiieve, the Constitutionalist of 1851,
or the Constitutionalist of 1856 ? Union.

k j LaGrange, Oct. 4, 1856.
l ’ At a meeting oi the Fillmore and Doneleon Club
of Li. Grange, on motion of CoL Wm. Henderson,
. e Dr. H. A. Ridley was called to the Chair, and Mr.
e Frederick Ball requested to act as Secretary.
* The obiect of the meeting was briefly annouuccd
* by the Hod. E. Y. Hiil. to be the introduction of
, several distinguished speakers from a distance to
the Club, aud to the citizens generally, (a vast num
" ber of whom had assembled on the occasion, a good
° ly proportion of whom were of nature s “fairer, bet
ter half,”) and for this purpose that the Chair ap
t point a committee of five, consisting of the Hon. E.
Y. Hili, Col. Wm. Henderson. Major B. H. Bighain.
Col. Robt. J. Morgan and Dr. N. Renwiek, to wait
i upon all distinguished speakers that might be en
3 passant in our town, and request them to address
the meeting on the occasion,
f The above Committee having withdrawn to per
> form the duty assigned them, loud calls aud cheers
* were made by the crowd for CoL P. Moore, of
j Athens, and it being made known to the Chair that
* CoL Moore was present, he was requested to ad
s dress the Club on the is3uc>3 now before the people.
5 Whereupon, CoL Moore advanced to the stand and
" commenoed in a calm, impressive and masterly
manner, to expose to the Southern people the odious
ness of the doctrine of Squatter Sovereignty, tbe
1 great principle of the Kansas-Nebraska bill. This
. same Kansas bill, he said, was proffered to Southern
* lips by the Democracy as a most tempting glass of
J lemonade, with a fly in it, of which the North would
. quaff its free-soil sweets, and leave to the South the
i acid and dregs, at the bottom of which they would
1 find the great “Blue Bottle Fly” of Squatter Sove
reignty. Yes, said he, this same great principle is
presented to you by the Democracy as a sparkling
nectar, (worthy only of the gods and the South,) and
5 you are told to quaff; but alas! on placing the gob
’ let te our lips, the nectar's not there, but in its stead,
f the henbane and poison of Alien Suffrage. For
more than an hour did CoL Moore encuainthe au
i dience with powerful arguments against “the un
numbered sins of hoary headed” Democracy, and
i admirably illustrated the “dry rot” tendency of its
present debauched condition.
CoL Moore, though quite a young man, wields the
sword of Gideon in a fight, and the bogus Democ
racy will do well to betake themselves to their heels
and hiding-places when he is to meet them in the
foray. At the conclusion of Mr. Moore’s speech, a
shower of flowers from the hands of America’s fair
daughters fell around him, “thick as the leaves in-
Valambrosa,” aud three cheers wore given for
‘Moore, Fillmore and Donelson.” Alter these
rounds ot applause had ceased, the Committee ap
pointed by the Chair came in and introduced to the
Club aud audience CoL Julius C. Alford, “the war
horse of Troup,” and many minutes elapsed before
silence or order could be established, eo deafening
and prolonged was the applause that greeted the old
war-horse on this his former stage of action and tri
umph. It is impossible to give even an outline
sketch of CoL Alford’s speech or manner on the oc
casion. Job’s description of the war-horse, “whose ,
neck is clothed with thunder. The glory of whose
nostrils is terrible, who rejoiceth in strength, who
mocketh at fear and is not affrighted, neither tum
eth he back from the sword,” is a sublime portrait- ]
ure of tbe man, but his inanuer is inimitably and in- <
approachably his own. He waged a hot war
against the Cincinnati Convention, and used old \
Freesoil Tom Benton as his advance guard in the i
attack* Old Tom, he said, had fought his way in- 1
to the Convention, and had to fight out again, and
was now fighting the rotten thing in the most vigo- t
roue manner. Tom, or some one else, had said im- <
piously of the same Convention, “that if death on ?
the pale horse could have rode over Cincinnati du- J
ring the sitting of this Soft-shell, free Democracy, c
bogus concern, and swept off its members, that hell 1
would not have had such an acquisition since the j
destruction of Sodom aud Gomorrah.” This, said l
he. is the language of old Tom, or some other disap
pointed bogusite. But 1 can tell you, said the CoL,
of a horse more fearful than the pale horse, at this
time, to tho Northern Democracy; one that is
hustling them from their power and is trying to get
himselfmto their Augean stable ; one that is run
ning over them rough shod in the chase for the
White Hoe-'. This horse is the veritable “woolly
horse,” anu in the chase between he and old Buck,
Alford says, devil take both.
CoL Afford next gave us a comico graphic picture
of old Tom Benton, the Free Soiler, and Governor
Wise, the Fire Eater, see-sawing very lovingly ou
a plank of the Cincinnati platform, a plank which
he hoped would be broke about the 4th of Novem
ber next, and land old free Tom in Salt Lake, and
Gov. Wise into the Atlantic ocean; another plank,
he said, was bestradled by the Hon. Robert Toombs
(by the grace of gun powder, a disunionist) and
Prince John Van Buren, a Squatter Sovereign Ab
olitionist, they too, were bobbing complacently to
each other, their plank, he also hoped, would break
about the same time, aud land one on the other side
of Jordan, the other at the devil. For two hours
did CoL Alford engage and delight the attention of
his hearers, and ns he concluded, he, too, like CoL
Moore retired amid a shower of flowers and a din of
ch< ere.
Ou the meeting being again called to order aud
quiet restored, the Chair introduced Col. Trippe,
one of our Americau representatives in Congress,
to the meeting. Col. Trinpc being worn down by
travel, and exhausted by laoorious speaking at other
places, gave us only a short but very eloquent Ame
ricau speech, ne claimed the right to know some
thing of tho three parties now before the people hav
ing just come from Washington City, their head quar
ters, and been privy to most of their plans and aims,
aud especially did he notice the trickery and
schemes of the Black Republicaus and bogus De
mocracy, in tho efforts of each to secure tlio foreign
vote. He said ho had often passed the Central
Committee rooms of each beneath the capital, and
had seen hand bills, pamphlets, speeches aud cam
paign documents priuted in foreign languages; he
supposed in high Dutch, low Dutch, Jack Game
Dutch, aud other languages equally as Dutch to him
and American freemen, and at the head of ail these
he could recognize enough to know that they were al
ternately headed by Buchanan and Fremont enough
to convince his own mind and that of every other
impartial witness, that there was a contest between
these two rivals to secure tbese “ sound foreign al
lies,” each to their own support. Alas, how humili
ating to the hearts of Americans such means used to
catch questionable foreigners to the support of a
chief magistracy of the great and free American
people. He said physical debility prevented him
from elaborating on the occasion, and closed by
prophesying for the American party a glorious
triumph and a brilliant future.
As he closed, strains of sweet national music
came stealing upon the ear, as the “Chase firnily,”
long known to fame, gave us the “Star-Spangled
Banner,” in their own finished ami elegant stvle.
As the music ceased, calls were made for CoL Fan
nin, Col. Morgan, lion. E- Y. Hill, Dr. R. A. Ridley,
each one of whom in chaste and glowing terms, for
a few minutes, expressed some happy thoughts, and
thanked the club and audience for the flattering call
made upon them. Here came in music again with
“magic spell,” and whenite soft echoes ceased, Col.
Benj. H. Hill rose, and moved the following reso
lutions :
1. Resolved, That a committee of five be appoi t
ed to ascertain the true condition of the family of
the Irishman from Morgan county , who unfortunate
ly lost his life in attempting to raise the American
flag at the late Maes Meeting in Atlanta —that they
ascertain the full name of the deceased, and the full
name and age of his wife, and the name, age and sex
of each child.
2. Resolved , That the American party of Troup
county propose that a central relief committee shall
be chosen by our friends in the county of Morgan,
whose duty it shall be annually to raise and appro
priate the relief fund fer said family, and that the
American party of Troup county will annually, on
the Ist day of January, send up a full quota of a
sufficient fund to support tho widow during her
widowhood, aud to raise, support and educate the
children of the deceased; that said central commit
tee ascertain the amount necessary for that purpose,
and the number of counties responding to this call,
and notify the counties of the amount to be forward
ed by each.
The committee under the first resolution consists
of Col. B.H. Hill, A. B. Fannin, B. H. Bigham, Esq.,
Col. R. J. Morgan, Hon. E. Y. Hill, and B. C.
Ferrell.
On motion of Col. A. B. Fannin—
Resolved, That this meeting contribute the sum
of < ne hundred dollars at once for the purpose em
braced in Col. Hill’s resolution, and that the tunds
be subject to the order of the Central Committee as
soon as they organize—all of which was unanimous
ly adopted, and the amount of money forthwith col
lected.
It was moved by Col. R. J. Morgan that the
thanks of this meeting be tendered to the “Chase
family” tor their presence and soul-stirring music on
the occasion, and that this meeting do now adjourn
until*Saturday night next, with three cheers for Fill
mor« and Douelson -, also that these proceedings be
pmblished in the Reporter, Chronicle 6c Sentinel, and
all other papers in the State friendly to the cause of
Fillmore aud Done son, the meeting adjourned in
accordance with the fo-egoing motions.

land Hare for Fillmore and Douelson.
This moruing everything wears a bright and
c heerful hue. The American victory of yesterday—
I he triumphant election of Thomas Swann, the peo
ples favorite to the Mayoralty—seems to have put
ever, one in a good humor with himself and “the
rest of mankind.” Congratulations arc being ex
tended on every side, and all appear to feel proud
< f the new Mayor. Last evening, after the result
was known, a vast throng of Mr. Swann’s friends
visited his residence, and although suffering from
severe hoarseness they would not leave until he had
raid a few words to them. After thanking them in his
usual happy style the crowd quiellv dispersed. This
i aorning a national salute was fired by the true
hearted Americans of Loudenslager's Hill. Well
nay every American be proud of the victory, for
never in our recollection were such strenuous efforts
put forth as those of yesterday to defeat Mr. Swann,
end never has there been a more signal failure.

Southern nomocracy in Favor of Disunion.
e It is dasly (says the Richmond American.) be
coming more and more apparent that the Southern
leaders are preparing the minds of their followers for
a dissolution of the Union. Feeling sure that they
b have been foiled in their attempt to renew their
lease upon the offices of the country, and having no
’ use for a country when it has no fat offices to be
stow upon them, they arc preparing to “ru ; n” what
they cannot “rule.” To show that we do not mis
i represent them, we will give a few extracts from
their speeches. We have already published the sol
s lowing language from the Charleston Mercury, bat
> bring it forward again :
“But upon the policy of dissolving the Unio >. of
separating the South from her Northern enemies,
and establishing a Southern Confederacy, parties,
presses, politicians, and people are a unit.* There is
n.t a public man tn her limits, not. one of her pre
sent Representative s in Congress, who is not pledged
to the lips in favor of disunion."
. The Norfolk Argus, a leading Democratic paper,
t ca M* upon tbe people of Virginia to call meetings to
a convention in Richmond to devise and mature
measures looking to peaceful dissolution.
1 . The Richmond Enquirer thus discourse*, suggest- ;
ing a feasible plan:
The election of Fremont would be certain and
inevitable disunion.
“Let tbe South present a compact and undivided
front. Let her show to th * barbarians that her
•parse population offers little Lopes of plunder ; her
military aud self-reliant habits aud her mcuutaiu re
treats, little prospect of victory ; and her firm union
and devoted resolution, no chances of conquest.—
Let her, if possible detach Pennsylvania and
Southern Ohio, Southern Indiana and Southern
Illinois, from the North, and make the highland*
between the Ohio and the Lakes the dividing lme ;
let the South treat with California , and , if nectssa i
ry, ally herself with Russia, with Cuba and Bra
zil."
John Slidell, of Louisiana, tells his treasonable
sentiment* in the following words, iu a recent letter
to his constituents :
“It is but within the last two years that I have
permitted myself to think of the possibility of tbe
dissolution of the Union, and, then, until the nomi
nation of Fremont, I have only looked at it in the
distant future. Now, it presents itself a* a question
which we may be called upon to decide in all its
dread reality in a few short months. Should Fre
mont be eh-cted, I shall be satisfied that a majority
of the pe« pie of the free States entertain towards us
feelings li.at re ;der the idea of living with them ou
terms of equn ity hopeless. The issue presented by
his nomination, the antecedents of those who brought
him forward, the opinions and purposes avowed
by every speaker at every meeting of his party,
are a uch that no Southern man would dure to in
cur the infamy aud odium of accepting office un
der him.
In such a struggle, not only will the proud spirit
that now animates us have Deen inspired, but we
will Lave lost allies that an earlier opeu resistance
would have rallied to our support.
/ do not hesitate to declare that if Fremont, be
elected, the Union cannot and ought not to be fire
served."
Albt t G. Brown, a Senator from Mississippi, and
like Slidell, a special friend of Buchanan, confesses
his infamy thus :
“Suppose we fall, what then is to be done ? Will
the South submit to the rule of a President r.nd a
party who come into power breathing undying hos
tility to our progress, our safety and our domestic
peace, aud buoyed up by the breath of a devilish fa
naticism that would tear the Union from its moor
ings aud trample the Constitution under foot ! If
ice arc prepared for this, then let us take without
murmuring that subordinate position which our
masters assign us, and be content to do their bid
ding. When we have once submitted to disgrace
like this, there will be no use of complaining. .-4a
well might the serfs of Russia complain of the
Czar.
James C. Jones, of Tennessee, in his recent
speech at Memphis, openly avowed the same senti
ment
Hear Gov. Wise on the subject of Disunion :
Richmond, Va., Sept. 6, 1856.
Dear Sir: Ou my return from a short absence I
found yours of the 29 th ult., asking my opinion on the
question—“ Would the election of Fremont to the
Presidency bring about a dissolution of tho : nion ?”
My auswer is, that the very spirit of sectionalism
which runs such a mere adventurer as he is, in eve
ry sense, has engendered so much envy, hatred and
malice between various sections and factious of our
people, as to create a wish iu the minds of many, so
strong for a dissolution of our blessed Union, that,
to tell them his election would bring that lamentable I
event would make some of his bitterest opponents
vote for his election, for tho very purpose of effect- i
iog that execrable end. His election would bring <
about the dissolution of the American Confedrncy
of States inevitably. Why? For the reason that .
if Now York, Pennsylvania aud Ohio were slave- •
holding States, and Canada were to assail them with
half the voileuce and “all uuchariblenecs” which 1
Black Republicanism is assailing us with, there [
would be public war in thirty days by every pa- j
triot’s time piece. Whether the present state of
peaceful revolutions, or of warlike brotherhood, of (
confederated antagonism, of shake-hand enmity, of ,
sectional union, oi united enemies, shall unnatural
ly continue, depends precisely upon the issue wheth
er Black Republicanism is strong enough to elect
Johu C. Fremont, with all the demonisms at Lis 1
heels ! You may do what you please with this let
ter. Yours, respectfully, f
Henry A. Wise. 0
Senator Toombs Accidentally Wounded!—
A Careless State Executive. —At a recent “Brooks”
festival at Ninety-Six, in South Carolina, the Hon.
Bob Toombs, of Georgia, was present. Several
speeches were made—Senator Butler’s beiug, by
far, the most sensible. At a somewhat late hour—
probably late enough for post-prandial truth !o
bubble out —Governor Adams addressed the audi
ence, and, doubtless forgetting the presence of the
distinguished Senator from Georgia, made an allu
sion which must have been more or less painful to
Robert. YVe quote the Charleston Standard’s re
port of the speech:
“Speech op Gov. Adajis. —lt had now grown
late, but the occasion would not have been suffi
ciently honored wit hout something, besides his pre
sence, from his Excellency the Governor of the
State. Gov. Adams was, therefore, called on, and
spoke *br about fifteen minutes, lie approved and
commended CoL Brooks for his chastisement of Mr.
Sumner. He expressed his opinion that the elec
tion of Mr. Buchunan is not the salvation that tho
South needs at the preseat time—for to the extent
that it would multiply placemen, it would detract
from the spirit of manly resistance. He also quoted
upon Mr. Toombs from one of his speeches in the
Senate, during the last seesion of Congress, when
that gentleman charged upon the Democrats that
they hadformed a coalition with the Black Republi
cans to rob the treasury, and said that he would go
home and. tell hid people to defend their pockets with
the sword. His speech, notwithstanding lue late
ness of tho hour, was received with the closest at
tention, and with many demonstrations of ap
plause.”
Will somebody ask Toombs, who wishes now to
get into the pockets of the Georgians, for a few hun
dred millions to build a Pacific Railroad ?—Alabama
Mad,
The Pennsylvania Election.
The election in Pennsylvania on Tuesday next, it
seems to bo conceded, will be the gi eat battle of
the campaign. That our readers may see how she
has voted heretofore, we give below some official
returns, which will be looked to with interest at this
time. It gives the vote for Governor, at the last
Gubernatorial election—also the vote for Canal
Commissioner in 1855. Tho totals for Governor are
ns follows:
Pollock, (Opposition) 204,008
Bigler, (Democrat) 167,001
Majority. 37,007
At the election for Canal Commissioner, the vote
was much smaller, as will be seen by the following
totals:
Plumer, (Democrat) 161,281
Nicholson, (Opposition) 149,745
Majority 11,536
There were, however, several other candidates,
who received the following aggregates :
Williamson, (Republican) 7,224
Martin, (Know Nothing) 698
Cleaver, (Native) 4,056
Henderson, (Whig) 2,292
14,150
By deducting these 14,350 votes from the Demo
cratic majority of 11,536 last year, it will be seen
that there was then a majority against the Democ
racy in the State of 2,714. It will also be seen that
there was a falling off in the popular vote cast, com
pared with the vote of the preceding year for Go
vernor of 60,083, of which the Democrats lost but
5,720, the Opposition 48,493. These votes in view
of the fact that the Democratic party always polls
its full vote, indicates an immense majority against
that party in the State, which, we doubt not, will be
shown oil Tuesday next by a majority for the anti-
Democratic candidate for Canal Commissioner falling
but little short of 30,000 votes. The Presidential ques
tion has entered fully into the canvass, and the result
will so measure the strength of parties as to clearly
indicate the course of the State in November.—

Mr. Stephens for Squatter Sovereignty.—
Hon. A. H. Stephens not only voted for but defen
ded the Kansas-Nebraska bill in all of its features,
which contains among others the following princi
ple : “It being true intent and meaning of this act
not to legislate slavery into any Territory or to ex
clude it therefrom, but to leave the people thereof
perfectly free to form and to regulate their domes
tic institutions in their own way, subject only to the
constitution.”
In the debate between himself avd Mr. Zollieoffer
on the 17th of January last, he says speaking of the
Kansas act: “I voted for the bill with this under
standing of its import, and a determination that
whatever the people of that Territory should d > on
the subject of slavery, whether their Legislatures
should pass law 3 to protect it, or to exclude it, or
simply leave it without protection. I should for my
self abide by their acts.”
Welsh Fremont Meeting.— On the 21st Au
gust, the Welsh citizens of Brady’s Bend, Arm
strong county, Pa.j held a meeting and organized a
Fremont Club, which was joined at once by ninety
eight Welshmen. A speech was made by one of
their clergymen, and a Committee of Vigilance ap
pointed.
So it is, says the Baton Rouge Gazette, through
out the North. Theee proteges and quondam allies
of Democracy find their true political latitude and
longitude in opposition to the South. But our Dem
ocratic guardians of Southern rights would on no ac
count have the naturalization laws changed. Oh
no: that would be illiberal and proscriptive ! These
foreigners may unite with the North in prescribing
us as much as they please, but it does not become
the magnanimous South to adopt measures of self
defeuce. Not at all. Let them baud together
against the South, aud let tne South cry hurrah for
our glorious aud beloved fellow-citizens from across
the water. That’s the Democratic way of taking
care of Southern interests ! Bravo.
A Change and a Reason.—A very prominent
and intelligent merchant of New Orleans, whose
partner is now in this city, was recently a strong and
earnest supporter of Buchanan. A few weeks ago
he almost quarrelled with his partner for being in
favor of Fillmore. He now, in a letter that we have
seen, informs his partner thai he himself i* for Fill
more ; and the excellent reason he assigns is, that
he fnds all the leaders of the Buchanan party in
Louisiana to be thorough disunionists. We have
no objection to giving the name of this patriotic
gentleman to any one who wants it.
The case is the same in the whole South. Through
that entire section the leaders of the Buchanan par
ty are disunionists. Disunion is the cherished
dream of their lives. They are anxious to destroy
the Union as ever our glorious old fathers were to
estrblishit. And, if they succeed in electing their
candidate, we believe in our hearts that the Union
wiil be in the most terrible danger.
Who can doubt that tens of thousands of patriotic
Democrats in the South will abandon the Bu
chan c n party when they find, as inevitably they
must if they walk with their eyes open, that all its
active leaders in the South are violent disunionists?
— Lou. Jour.
“Sound Northern Democrats.” —Under this
head we eometime ago stated that Gen. Lane, the
'wader of the Freesoil cohorts in Kansas, was a
Democrat —was a member of Congress from Indiana
at the time of the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska
hip—was one of the “forty-four sound Northern
Democrats" who voted for that bill. We hear that
some Democrats, even here in Richmond, deny
the truth of our statement concerning Lane. To
nny and all such we would say that we are willing
to test the truth of the matter by making a small
wager, the decision of the question to be left to
any well-informed Democrat which they them
selves may designate. That's a fair proposition.
Which one of the Locos referred to will accept it ?
One at a time, or all together—it makes no aiffer
ence with us.
The notorious G *y. Reeder, who is now travers
ing the North, “shrieking for freedom,” and col
lecting men an j money to abolitionize Kansas, was
also a member of the 33d Congress, and was one
of those “forty-four sound Northern Democrats,”
who voted for the Kansas bill. Perhaps a bet can
be had on Reeder also. Who speaks ?— Richmond
Whig.

Philadelphia, Oct. 9.— The Fillmore demonstra- *

ajid enthusiasm anything of the kind ever attempted i

were delivered, and among the speakers was Mr.

listened to with great attention, and elicited much
