What are 31 r. I*’i»!m«#rc%» Chance* Now.
This question, says the Baltimore Pair mi, has
been frequently a*ked since the recent State elections
in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana. It naturally
nrggegls itself to those who feel anxious on the sub
ject. Coming directly to the point, we answer, his
chances seem to us directly better and moreen*
con raging at present than they have been atm r
time iace Lis nomination. It is now rendered , <.r
t tin- pla< ed beyond all doubt—since Indi o h and
Pennsylvania have pronounced so eni >caticaUy
against Mr. Fhkjiom, the Kepnbla ui | »*rty,
that himself and friends cannot indulge ev n the
filigi-i .it hope of succrss. Without the twoSiates
in question, admitting a 11,other fr** States to u> * tor
Fr.tMosT, he fn‘!s short of a majority in the K!tcto
i.i, U‘d‘*-g#-, and must, with unerring certainty, ati
fcha'e (Vfeat 11 may be safely asserted that
, other free Stales, upon w hich his party have hereto
■ fore relied, will go against them An incontroverti
ble and exceedingly agreeable fact is, therefore, es
loWished, namely : that not even a shadow of Lope
cau now be entertained by his adherents of effect
ing Mr. Fp.f.MnM ' election by the people. This
:mo b - edmittwd on all hands. Being absolutely
* • ' he>i -al. : depending solely upon the North fr r nup
•’ finding it ha< forsaken them, there can no
: ::ger exl.-t any apprehension upon the part of S< uth
i ' ■ i.'-j . national men, and Union-loving, conserve- j
• > e citizens everywhere, of disunion as a result of
L- uk mont’s election, because the evidences are now
f iiehcputable that he cannot bo elected. Ilis warm-;
lest friends know this, and V>eing so convinced
wdii 10.-c their former ardor. Mr. Buchanan, there’
*>re being at |x;sitive antipodes, the Inference is
Mr. Fn.i mof<>: will present himself to their con-ide
i . ion as the least of two <rvila, thus securing a large
’ v te that, with any shade c*f Lope for Mr. Fremont’s
hu« ■ ■ would have l>eeu cast for him. Hence the
contest, to our mind, infixed between Mr. Fillmore
; mo Bui-hasan. With a c ertainty that Mr. Fhe
j mont c annot secure enougi States to elect him, the
apprehe.N -ion, per consequence, cjf disunion, are
Mirogat*-.!, and we have a poßsibility of Mr. Fjll
moiie being chosen by the people. Some of the
N( rthern Stales that would, under a different com*
; p ■ xion of affair;-, have given a Republican major
j ry,,'u now tree to aid the Union American j»arty,
: ahi s’ our hc ? <-tofore appretiensive friends in the
: Sou: I.—old line WhigM and warm admirers ol Mr.
Fii more—need no iongc-ro# '.'template the Union’s
peri!, but freely, cordially express their preferences j
for him whom they most admire—the Union Ameri- j
'-aiican-iidate—the “model President.” The South, i
a - a body, has iep«-atedly conf*-.-sed Mr Fillmore I
her iit>t choice, and, if she thought there was any
‘■earthly chance’’ of his success, would gladly sup-
P"Jt iiiin The barrier here alluded to has been re
mo-.. I, in.- recent events show Mr. Fremont to be
old of the question. We are, consequently, justifi
cl in claiming that Southern men—pure, patriotic,
chivalric and high-minued as they are acknowledged
1" b> will come forward, boldly asserting tlieir pre
fer* nee for Mr. Fillmore. The chances, at pres
ent, for his success in Pennsylvania are greater
tl they yet have been, whilst New Ycrk is almost
a n to c ast her electoral vote in his favor. We
i ok upon Maryland as unequivocally ccrta’n.—
Kentucky, Tenncsaev, Louisiana, Texas, Calif ruia
and Florida may also be confidently calculated np
on whilst Connecticut, New Jersey, Deieware.
and even Virginia, are not without the pale of hope.
Neither would it surprise us to see Alabama, per
ehanee North Carolina and Georgia, wheeling into
ink. All things considered, viewing the whole
subject in its most plausible andcompebensive light,
we are constrained to believe Mr. Fillmore's
chances of success, even by the people, vastly more
* ncouragirg now than they were prior to the recent
State elect ions. Thousands who heretofore felt anx
ious to give him their support, but feared doing so
in anticipation of Mr. Fremont’s success, and the
disastrous probable consequences, are now re’ieved
of, these unpleasant forebodings, aud will come for
ward unhesitatingly, anxious to perform a duty
which otherwise might have induced to vote for
Mr. Buchanan.

'l ac following patriotic letter, from F. M. Rkkse,
K.-vi , of Auburn, Ala., is an illustration of moral
courage and sincere devoted patriotism, seldom
w .iic se l iu the political canvasses of the cay.—
When Mr. Kfk.sk first announced his purpose to
support Buchanan, the Democratic organs and
leaders were particularly “sweet on him,” and plied
him most lavishly with honey phrases. We hope ;
his letter will not pass unheeded by them. The
leli. r was addressed to the editors the Alabama
Journal: 1
Auburn, Ala , Oct. 11,1856.
A/'/editors: —In tho outset of flic can vass,
like f*K* ninny (>i«l Din*' WliigH, l took A position for
i‘ i- Derioerntic candidfltes for the Presidency and
V ice-Presidency; but since then I see many reasons
why 1 should change my position and support the
. »? iioa sos the Baltimore Convention. It is useless
however to mention them in detail. I will however
r« ni iik, that for several mouths nf er the action of
li..- Cincinnati Convention, 1 regarded the Demo
cratic nominees the most avaliable, and was willing
tos icrifie old and cherished principles for thesnkeof
di-feat ing the Black Republican candidates, believ
ing if Fremont should be elected, it would cuuse or
It \ • t tendency to cause a dissolution of the gov
ernment.
.\<iw what arc the chances of the Democratic can
didate. t Marry one. hundred and forty nine oft he Elec
t< College, which is jnsl a majority of the Electoral
vote f In this matter, lik*- other men, I have a
rip ! t to my opinion, and 1 seo no possible chance
sot t lu-in before the people and about as lit -
Cr in the House of Uepri'sentatives. VV’hat then
is it my duty to do f —(for 1 do not pretend to
point out that path for others,) —is it to stand on a
sinking ship, or leave it and try a vessel which I
nifiy ride solely through our troubled political seas f
The answer for myself is plain and clear.
I have always favored the opinions entertained
by the Union party, and still stand by them ; en
dorsing fully the Compromise measures passed,
adopted and sanctioned during the administration
ot .Mr. Fillmore, believing them [conservative and
sufficiently just and equal for the acquiescence of
•be South! 1 was also in favor of the Kansas Ne
braska bill, except the alien suffrage feature in the
bill, and aui still in favor of it, believing like others
of Sir Filkmue s Southern friends, that there was
1.0 Squatter Sovereignty in t lie bill. I stand un
< .unpromisingly opposed to the restoration of the
Missouri restrict ion and to Squatter Sovereignty.
N.»w. does Mr. Fillmore come up to the requisitions
which I, as a Southern man, have a right to demand
—and does Mr. Buchanan ! Mr. Fillmore’s en
dorsement of the article from the Buffalo Commer
cial Advertiser, his organ, satisfies me fully as to his
Jnion in n-iereiice to the restoration of the Mis ou
11Mice, and SquatC r Sovereignty in the bargain.—
ll*- shys the whole question is frivolous and idle—
that “it would bo like » atering a tree which has
h, en girdled for years in order to restore it to life”
—that he has “no wish for its restoration.'’ Now,
how stands Mr. Buchanan ? Is he in favor of Sqat
u 1 Sovereignty, or is he not 7 The most of his
Southern friends sny tig is opposed to it; but does
Messrs. Douglas, Cass, the Van Burens and others
t«k<' th« same posiiion ? Why then does a man who
should be bold and fearless, hesitate to settle the
qi t-stion, especially between friends, but he does not
« !*> so, and thereby certainly permits one portion of
v ’iK'S to misrepresent him, which in my bum
bio opinion, is not m the compass of the dignity of
.-licit a man and statesman as Mr. Buchanan should
>: Otlu is may approve an equivocal or double
. i f uof this kind, but 1 cannot and will not.
\Y i;! 1 a short notice of the course pursued by Mr.
Breckinridge, 1 will close tliis hastily written note.
1 1<• has without doubt descended from the dignity
•f the piu-ititm he now occupies by the favoriteism
«»1 his protnisi :;ous party, mfm&king stump speeches
inrougS out tlic country ; and if he is correctly re
por?c«i, he takes remarkably singular grounds for a
Southern man, lie “he is conuected with no po
• ( organiiat'or. which desires iliu extension of
iv cry.' Well, Messrs. Editors, being an Old Line
Southern Whig, l consider myself connected with a
party which does desire the extension of slavery,
ami'furthermore, I am opposed to any project of
: muo * ipntion even iu the State of Kentucky. Mr.
Breckinridge is charged with having favored the
inject, and I see it nowhere refuted or denied.—
Surh a position is by no means palatable to a
; . i'ii W l.ig. nor can l see how Southern D*-.uo
* i nts could, with any sort of a coating, swallow such
}{ •.-' Mr. Donelson ever been charged with such
'■•n! iim'nts ? No—he is a Tennessean, and I doubt
; no :>uck thought ever entered his brain—and if
,*kcd the question he would unhesitatingly answer
. v. as «?i" 09cd to emancipation in every shape, and
. • t avowed the extension of slavery.

For the Chronicle Sentinel.
To the Editor of the Constitutionalist -
‘ I notice iu your i<aue of the 14th October, a com
munication addressed to the Editor of the Chronicle
I 4* Sentinel, signed by Alexander H. Stephens. The
\ object of the writer I presume was, to correct some
j cf the more prominent errors, which appeared in a
> communication in the Chronicle 4* Senfinrl, signed
1 by "Truth the Second,” of October Bth, purporting
i Jo give a condensed, succinct and true report of his
speeches at Millstone and Woodstock,
j la his effort t > show that I made “prominent er
| rors,’ and that I was ‘Vgeally unfortunate in un
; derstauding him,” I think that he has made a *:gual
j failure In h;s communication, he mentions four
I prominent errors, which occur in my report —three
of which bis report corroborates. The first of tham, I
1 reported him as having said: **Public men,’ says he,
i “are ail either angels or devils, according to public
! opinion. He thought none cf them were angels.
I but some of them were devils.” He reports himself
as having said as follows “they were, none of
ttieui, angels allo%eth?r, nor were they, any of
them devils quite." In my opinion there is striking
similarity between his report and mine on this
point—there is so little difference between
that it is not worth while to quibble about it iu this
important ensi* of political affairs • the indit tdual
who would, remiuds me of a “Nero playing upon his
harp, in view of a city in flames.” We will now
pass on to the consideration of the second “promi
nent error,' which he notices in my report of Sep
tember 30th, in relation to Mr. Fillmore's opening
Pandora's box.
I reported him as having said as follows : “It was
said that the Kansas bill opened the Pandora's box a
the alien feature was iu it. Mr. Fillmore signed the
Washington bill with the alien feature . therefore
Mr. Fillmore opened the Pandora's box. 5 ' He re
ports himself as having said as follows: “I did show
tliat the Washington bill signed by Mr. Fillmore
contained the alien feature, which is so much com
plained cf in the Kansas bill, but I did not say that,
therefore , he had opened Pandora's box.” I cer
tainly understood him as having said this—others
I think so understood him—but I will not, now. as
sert that he did, but we will hear what he did say,
iu his own report of his speech at Woodstock :
“1 showed that by the resolutions annexing
Texas, the Missouri restriction was extended through
that Territory excluding shivery Jure nr from all
that purl of Texas lying North oj 3ti J JO ' of North
latitude. And in 1850, when the North repudiated
that principle of sett ling the question of slavery in
ihe Territories by a division line, the New Mexico
bill, framed upon the new principle then establish
ed, or the old one contended for by the South before
the Missouri restriction was passed in 1820, abroga
ted the resolution against slavery, which had been
put on that part of Texas in the resolutions of an
nexation, and that this New Mexico bill received
the sanction of Mr. Fillmore, and therefore , if the
removal, abrogation or repeal of the Missouri re
striction was opening Pandora's box, Mr. Fillmore
had opened it himself. I read from the New Mexi
co bill this provision, that when admitted as a State,
the said territory, or any portion of the same, shall
be received into the Union with or without slavery,
as their constitution may prescribe at the time of
their admission.”
i admit that there is some difference in our report;
on this point—he means to correct rue by saying
that Mr. Fillmore did not open Pandora's box by
signing the Washington hi//, but that he opened
Pandora’s box by siguing the New Mexico bill. If
Mr. Stephens wishes lo jump from the skillet, into
the fire he can do so. What Mr. Fillmore did say
about opening Pandora’s box, was iu reference to
the passage ot the Kansas bill; in my opinion there
is truth in what Mr. Fillmore did sav'about it ; nine
tenths of the ignorant are of the opinion that since
the passage of the Kansas bill, the agitation on the
slavery question has increased rapidly—the Repub
lican party has sprung up, and it is possible, from
indications now, that they may elect a President
from their ranks, if Buchanan is not withdrawn.
We will now proceed to notice the third “ promi
nent error” which Mr. Stephens alleges to be con
tained in my report of his speeches, lie quotes
from uiv report i.s follows : “ Air. Stephens said, in
speaking of the Kansas bill, that it was identically
the same as the bills known as the Compromise mea
sures of 1860, giving territorial governments to Utah
and New Mexico, that there was not a particle of
Squatter Sovereignty iu the Kansas bill.” &c. lie
reports himself as having feud, that “ the powers
granted to the Territorial Legislature of Kansas
avrr the subject of slavery, were the same in the
Kansas bill that they were in the Utah and New
Mexico bills which had received the sanction of
Mr. Fillmore, and if there was any Squatter Suv
eignty in the one, it was also in the others. In my
judgment, what I understood tube the doctrine of
Squatter Sovereignty, it was in neither. “ Squatter
Sovereignty,” properly understood from the very
words, as well as the origin of the term, signified
Sovereignty in Squatters. Neither the Kansas, nor
the 1 tah bill, nor the Mexico bill, recognized any
such doctrine. For all tin* powers exercised by the
Territorial Legislatures of all these territories ema
nated from Congress—they exercised them by per
mission and by grant from Congress, and not by
sovereign right.’’ It appears from his own showing
t hat I reported him correctly on this point, and to
show further that i was nor, “ signally unfortunate
in understanding him,” 1 will quote from my com
munication as follows : “ that his argument to show
that the Kansas bill did not contain a particle of
Squatter Sovereignty in it, was nothing but hum
bug.” Again: “ The manner in which Mr. Stephens
attempted to show that the Utah and New M- xico
were identically the same as the Kansas bill, and that
the Kansas bill did not contain a particle of Squat
ter Sovereignty in it, was indeed amusing.” He
read from the Utah bill the entire first section. He
then read the first s ctions of the New Mexico and
Kansas bills—finds them the same—defines Squat
ter Sovereignty to mean, the right of people to set
up government for themselves, and then vauntingly
proclaims that there is not a particle of Squatter
Sovereignty in it. This is the way iu the South the
Kansas bill is discussed—this is the way it is made
the “ demagogue’s hobby,”—this is the way indi
viduals undertake to prove it to be the salus populi.
Any intelligent man will perceive that the first sec
tion of each of the bills creates them into tempo
rary governments—gives them names—defines their
boundaries, and lays down the rule which shall gov
ern Congress when they become ready to be receiv
ed into the Union. 1 will venture the opinion, that
more than nine tenth * of the people are already ap
prised of the fact, that certain territory, by an act of
Congress, passed May 20th, 1854, was created into
a temporary government by the name of the terri
tory of Kansas. No one doubts this—no one as
serts that the people of Kansas have set up govern
meat for themselves without having had a grant
from Congress l
We will now proceed to notice the fourth and last
“prominent error,” which he asserts that 1 made in
my report. He says: “I did uot say in Oglethorpe
that all that 1 now asked of the North was to let the
p ople ot the territories do as they pleased with the
subject of slavery, I said subject to the Constitu
tion." Mr. (Stephens puts these words in italics, I
say he does so for the purpose of creating the im
pression that tiiey are significant—that they mean
something. Ido uot think that he attaches tj,ny im
portance to these words in the Kansas bjll. 1 ad
mit that he uttered fhem repeatedly dining his
speeches with emphasis —but when he uttered the
sentence which he quotes from my report, he omit
ted to say subject to the Constitution —he was
speaking of his position in relation to slavery in the
territories—his understanding of the import of the
Kansas Bill. To show that he does understand
“the present status of Congressional Legislation on
the slavery question” as l reported him, we will
quote lrom his speech delivered iu Congress on the
17th of January last, in the hearing of his Freesoil
Democratic confreres, it can be found on page 12th.
It is a reply to ii question Mr. Zoilicolier put to him,
to-wit: Do you believe that Congress has the power
to abolish slavery in the territories? Mr. Stephens
replies ns follows : “Hear me through. What 1
was going to say is, that all the power which Con
gress possessed over the territories on this subject
is. in this bill, given to the people. And the gen
tleman holds that Congress could not prohibit slave
ry. If so, the people then Cannot. Now, what I
hold is, that the Constitution is silent on the subject.
But any such act by Congress in the case supposed
would be an act, in my opinion, of gross injustice,
and would be tantamount to au open violation of
the express provisions of the Constitution. All the
power, however, which Congress had oveftlje sub
ject is grafted to ihe people, and they have got
none else. 1 say this, and that I voted for the bill
with this undeistanding of its import, and a deter
mination that whatever the poople of that territory
should do on the subject of slavery, whether their
Legislature should pass laws to protect it or to ex
clude it, or simply leave it without protection, I
should for myself abide by their acts. ’ Mr. Ste
phens last year said, in almost every speech he
made, that he was on the Georgia Platform, is he in
185 b on the Georgia Platform !

Pentiftvlvaniu Election.
Washington, Oct. 17, 185 b.
I wrote you some days ago that Pennsylvania
was sure to go against Buchanan by a large major
ity. We had reason to think so at that time, and
had there been a fair and honest election, such
would have been the case. But the most outra
geous frauds have been practised upon the ballot
box, and foreign votes to an unheard of extent have
been manufactured and polled. In the city of Phil
adelphia alone, there were seven thousand foreign
ers added to the poll lists. The vote of the city has
been increased since last May 11,000. when the lar
gest vote was given that ever lmd been given l
Does any one suppose there has been an honest in
crease of 11,000 votes in that city in five mouths?—
And this is but a specimen, though on a larger scale,
of what has been done in every part of the State.—
Dead men's names, fictitious names, have been ad
ded to the poll lists, and living men, chieffy foreign
ers, have been found to personate them : the very
men, probably, who had just been naturalized, and
who may have voted half a dozen times each with
out being detected ; for who can tell fifty or a hun
dred Irishmen from the same number of different
Irishmen ? They can be no more recognized and
identified than so many crows which flew by a week
ago.
The Buchaniers deemed it all important to carry
Pennsylvania, and carry it they were resolved, by
anv means, fair or foul, honest or dishonest. Money
was needed, and money was raised by contributions
from Government officers and others everywhere.
It is said that half a million at least has been expen
ded to produce the result. Slidell was represented
as saving some weeks ago that they must Lave
t > carry Pennsylvania which was un
doubtedly forthcoming.
But what now 1 Admitting that they have car
ried Pennsylvania by a very meagre majority, say
not over two < r three thousand, what then ? Is all
lost ? Certainly not. ir the Fillmore men will
prove true and stand firm at the South, say in Mary
land, Kentucky. Tennessee. Florida and Louisiana,
tiie election may be brought to the House and Fill
more elected. But if the entire South abandon him,
what right will they have to look for aid and friends
iu the North hereafter ? The election of either Mr.
Buchanan or Col. Fremont would tend to create and
continue sectional parties and animosities ■ and the
election of the former wi-i nroye ihat foreigners
have already become too poVeriul for Americans,
and may hereafter rale the country. If Pennsyl
vania has been carried for Buchanan, it has been
done by foreign votea, the number of which, made
for the occasion, will exceed by nearly ten fold, per
haps by even more, the majority obtained iu the
whole State
What a farce an election is, carried by Irish votes
and stuffed ballot boxes, like that whiTU h&s just
taken plare! S

Florida Election.
Heretofore we have abstained front tie exp res
gioii of our opinion as to the probable result of tLe
recent election in Florida, preferring to await the
receipt of sufficient intelligence to found an opin
ion which would be sustained by the result. Be
lieving that we have such evidence, we venture to
express the confident belief, from the lights* before
us. that the American candidate for Governor has
been elected, and probably Hawkins, the Demo
cratic candidate for Congress. The latter we think
very doubtful. The latest and most reliable in exi
gence is contained in the subjoin' d letter to the Sa
vannah Republican . which that journal says is
‘‘from a gentleman of high character and distinction
in Florida, who, doubtless, is better informed on the
condition of affairs in his State than any other
man in it. We cave no doubt, from what he states,
an 1 accounts from other sources, * that Florida has
elected an American Governor, and perhaps the
%-hole American ticket
Tallahassee, Oct. 10.125 b.
Editor of Republican:
Gentlemen :—lnte ligence sent by the last mail
is calculated greativ to mislead. The Sentinel
gave up the State as gone—Democrats fired can
non, Jtc.
We have now returns from all the counties in tin
Middle District except Hamilton. Walker has a
small mnj rity over Perry, Deni. Hamilton will
give Walker *4O majority.
In 1852 Maxwell beat Cabell in the State, for
Congress, 22 votes. Maxwell's majority in Middle
District was 116. Walker has therefore gained 150
votes.
In the West, Cabell's majority was 285, and
in the East and South, Maxwell s majority was
191.
We think Walktr is elected, and hope for Ba
ker. The Legislature is doubtful—probably Amer
ican.
We expect to carry the State for Fillmore.
Yours, d*c.,
Florida Election.
The following letter to the Mobile News brings
cheering intelligence from West Florida. It con
firms us in the opinion that Florida has gone lor the
Americans and may be put down as quite certain
for Fili.more :
Pensacola, Oct. iO, 1356.
To C. C. La up tlon. Esq :
My Dear Sir: I have but a moment before clos
ing the mail to advise you of the result for our section
of the State. HcsV Florida has given a decided 1
American majority. Jackson county, which the
Democratic party claimed by 70, lias given 60 ma
jority for the entire American ticket. Another
Cucumber for the Register. Our State is certain. —
Will give you particulars in my next. In haste,
yours truly. li.
The late Election*.
The returns generally are so confused, and to
so me extent contradictory', that it is difficult to ar
rive at any definite conclusion as to the results.—
We subjoin our impressions.
Florida. —The news to-day is not so favorable
for the success of the American ticket. The Demo
cratic Governor and member of Congress may have
succeeded by a very small majority—less than 500.
If so, the State may be regarded safe for Fillmore,
we think.
Pennsylvania. —There is little doubt that the
Squitter Sovereign, Ostend Filibuster candidate,
James Buchanan, has been completely overwhelm
ed in his own State, if so, his friends should take the
earliest opportunity to withdraw him, to the end
that Fremont may be defeated by Fillmore. Bu
chanan will certainly be “nowhere" in the race if
lie Ims lost Pennsylvania.
Ohio has gone for the Republicans by an over
whelming majority, according to the latest accounts.
Indiana. —From this State we have nothing de
finite, aud must await further developments. It
has probably gone for the Democrats.
We copy the following from the Savannah Re
publican.
Florida Election.—We find the following ad
ditional returns of counties in the Floridiun of the
11th inst.
Jefferson. —This county has gone as usual, for
the Democrats. Majority for Perry 179, lor Haw
kins *JIB. Three Democrats elected to the House
without opposition.
M adison—Official.— For Walker r>:ss, for Per
rv 423, Baker 490, Hawkins 469. MeLeary, Mc-
Queen, Democrats, and Hawkins, American, elect
ed to the House.
Levy. —Clyatt, Democrat, has been elected to the
House from this county by 7 majority. Walker :.nd
Baker are supposed to have carried it by 10 to 15
majority.
Orange and Volucia are reported to have given
majorities for Walker.
Hamilton county gives Walker about 40 major
ity.
The Floridian, a Democratic paper, regards the
result for (Governor a'doubtful. We are still in
clined to the opinion, after a careful examination of
the vote thus far, that Walker (American) has car
ried the State by a very small majority. There is
no doubt ot the election of Hawkins (Dem.) to Con
gress.
The Floridian states that General Allison, pre
viously reported its elected to the House of Repre
sentatives from Gadsden, had been defeated by a
few votes.
From the Kno.cviUc Whig.
Senator Toombs in Knoxville.
Well, Mr. Toombs, invited by Democracy, has
been in Knoxville, and made a speech of two hours
in length, on Wednesday last, and was listened to
by a crowded Court room, with respectful atten
tion, but certainly made no votes for his new party
associates, unless he made them “over the left
shoulder.” He spoke one hour and a half—was
followed by Col. Sneed, in a speech of two hours—
and reserved to himself the right of a reply of thirty
minutes, which he played off in a sort of blustering
style!
I'.iere is no saying more true, than the one which
tenches us that “politics makes strange bed-fel
lows!” Just four years ago, the “Scott Club” of
this city, invited one den. At nold to speak here,
and in this same Court room, and in his speech, he
held up Toombs and Stephens, as traitors to Whig
principles, renegades to the Jvocofoco ranks—and as
deserving to be hung upon Hainan’s gallows ! John
If. Crazier, then on the stand with Arnold, as one
who had invited him to speak, clapped aud cheer
ed, while Arnold told how Toombs ought to be dis
posed of! Now, Crozier is conversing with Toombs
at the Coleman House, and clapping and cheering
with other Loeolbcos, while Toombs advocates De-
mocracy, end avows himself in favor of a Southern
Confederacy ! Arnold, though not present, is no
doubt with them, and they are with him! Great
Heavens! what a party, and what a mixture of ma
terials !
But to the speech of Senator Toombs After pay
ing a very handsome compliment to Tennesseeans
in general, and to East Tennessee in particular, he
pitched into the issues of the contest—such of them,
at least, as engage the attention of ultra Southern
i*ien. He never saw the clay, since Ids connection
with politics, that he would not have torn from our
statute book.- the Missouri Compromise Act, even
though it had been sealed by the blood of his own
father! This sentiment was received by both the
Foreign and Native Democracy, with loud ap
plause !
Among the bold apd reckless assertions made by
Mr. Toombs, was this one, and in these words—
“ Every man who is not sustaining Buchanan is an
enemy to the South and no friend of mine!” This
sentiment was received with applause by the De
mocracy. In commenting upon it, we have on
ly to say, that a very large majority of the au
dience were enemies to Mr. Toombs and the
South !
Another bold assertion was, that Mr. Fillmore was
a plain, candid, straight-out Freesoiler! Touching
the Compromise measures of 1850, he desired to
learn Fillmore’s views—was anxious to know them
—felt a deep interest in knowing—but could never
learn them. When lie signed the Compromise
Acts, lie did not even know what the bid con
turned !
When lie eulogized “the glorious prineles blazen
ed ou the banner of the Whig party,” the Do.cofo
cos ip the room, who had abpsed these principles, and
that old banuer, all their lives, cheered most vocif
erously. This was rich!
There were quite a number of Foreigners pre
sent, and this we presume he was apprised of, as he
eulogised the Irish, Germans, French ami other
foreigners—spoke of their deeds of dar ug, and of
their devotion to liberty ! This was the more inter
esting to those of us who know that a portion of the
foreigners present, were in attendance ou our Cir
cuit Court, either as witnesses or defendants, in
some heavy Bacon and Coffee stealing operations!
Among the sweeping and more reckless asser
tions of the Georgia Senator, we noticed this one—
“whenever men become unsound, they go over to
the American and Freesoil parties!” This asser
tion was met by Col. Sneed, moat effectually, who
demonstrated that Freysoiliijni originated with De
mocracy —was nurtured and cherished by that par
ty, ar,d wanned into l;fe by Pierce’s administration,
in the distribution of patronage. He also showed
that Fillmore had made a regular bnsiness of turn-
ing such out of office, as well as seeking to keep
them from getting into office !
In concluding his speech, Senator Toombs startled
the entire crowd, except, perhaps, the leaders of De
mocracy, who seem to have known what was com
ing. He stated that if the Democratic Banuer were
triumphant in Pennsylvania, while he were speak- '
ing, the country was safe ; but if it trail in the dust j
in Pennsylvania, there is nothing before us but j
blood or dishonor, and he was for blood !
The speech of Mr. Toombs throughout, was bold, 1
and disclosed the disunion feelings and sentiments j
of the party with which he acts. We were pleased ;
to hear him avow these sentiments, and we were |
equally glad to hear him warmly applauded by the ;
Democrats for avowing them, as - it showed that |
they were drifting to that point. What we gathered j
from the speech was this—that if Buchanan were i
not elected, his supporters were for disunion, or ;
what is equivalent a Southern Confederacy '
Col. Sneed followed the Georgia gentlemen in a
speech of twojiours in length—marked by fairness,
convincing arguments, and an array of facts, taken
from the records of Congress, which carried convic
tion to every impartial mind, and fully satisfied the
frieuds of Fillmore and American principles. He
set out by saying that he concurred with the gentle
man fully, in many of his positions bearing upon the
slavery question—that he was as much opposed to
the Black Republicans as he was—was as much the
friend of the South—and would, at a proper time,
or under justifiable circumstances, go as far as any
other man in defence of our just constitutional rights
—but he differed with the gentleman very material
ly as to the remedy. He was not fora Dissolution
of the Union, or a great Confederacy, to
be formed Os Slave States exclusively—he was for '
Fillmore and the Union as it is. And just here tbe !
thundering * of the audience, must Lave '
suggested to tue champion of a Southern Confedera- !
cy, thatjie was in the wrong latitude for his favorite :
scheme of Disunion—and that there was a slight dit- |
lereuce between the people of Fast Tennessee and :
South Carolina, as it regards their estimate of this i
Union.
Col. Sneed read the report of a speech recently
delivered in South Cardin a, by Mr. Brooks, in which j
that gentleman avows himself in favor of Disunion ;
and the formation of a Southern Confederacy, to |
be formed exclusively of Slave States’ Tue same i
paper reported Senator Toombs to have been pres- ;
out, .an dto have endorsed the Disunion sentiments i
of Mr. Brooke Col. Sneed appealed to Mr. Toombs i
to know it he were correctly reported—he bowed 1
assent!

satisfied with the result cf the days work. Mr. j
Toombs has the reputation of being very unfair in j
debate, reckless of statements, blustering in man- ,

assure us that hk ghuray'er was well sustained in '
every particular. Several intelligent meg L"ye re- |

Disunion speech they ever heard. Senator Toombs i

American Victory in St miter,—At the special
election iu Sumpter county on .Me.day last, for a
Tax Collector, the nominee of the American party
was elected by the large majority of ninety -one j
votes. Both par;its held county conventions and
nominated their candidates for this office, with a
view of making it a strict party test, and the success
of the American candidate, under these circumstan
ces, is highly gratifying. Last ye. r, at the State
election, the the American majority for Andrews |
for Governor was only 42 votes; now it is iftore \
tlian double that nuui cr. Sumutor is one of the |
oounties in which, according to Democratic boasts, i
our ma jority was to be, overcome by the desertion !
of old-line VVhjga. Where were their new allies on j
Monday / The Suml r Republican thus announces !
the result of this elution :
Sumter is Sumter Still \ The First (inn from
South- Westerji Georgia! !—On Monday las! an
election came off iu this county for Tax* Collector '
and resulted in the triumphant election of Henry
D. Holt, the American candidate, by a majority of
ninety-one. liis opponent, N. McLain, Esq., is one
of the strongest men belonging to the Democratic 1
party, and a high toned, honorable gentleman ; |
therefore, beating such a man as him, we cannot <
look upon it in any other light than a glorious tri
umph. Notwithstanding the desertions from out
ranks of such men as Willis A. Hawkins and others, l
the first gun from Sou so western Georgia is cheer- i
ing for the friends of Fillmore and Donekson. Sum
ter is Sumter still, and in November the American
party will carry the county by at least two hun
dred majority. Take courage, Americans, and I
we can carry the Empire Slate for Fillmore and (
Do nelson.
Frorn the St. Louis Intelligencer.
The following letter is from a correspondent whose
statements may be implicitly relied on :
Clarksville, Texas, Sept. 20, 1856.
To the Editors of the Memphis Fogle Enqyircr -
Gentlemen—Even in Texas the signs are getting
decidedly Fillmoieish. With the past two weeks,
the Jefferson Herald, of Eastern Texas, has repu
diated Buchanan on account of his “Squatter Sove
reignty” doctrine. The Herald is an old and in
fluential Democratic paper, never before did it bolt
any nomination. And now on the heels of that, the
Franklin Patriot, published in Paris, of that State,
heretofore a neutral paper, has hoisted the names of
Fillmore and Douelson. Sny to the Fillmore party
of the Union not to relax their efforts, for the truth
is mighty and will prevail. We have many Demo
crats in Texas, but we have the first one yet !o see
who can deny Fillmore’s soundness in all respects.
In truth, no man since the days of Washington en
joys so much of the confidence and love of the
A merieau people.
Yours, G. 11. W.
Supreme Court, Tennessee. —The Nashville
Patriot is informed by the Attorney-General of Ten
nessee that the Supreme Court, during its recent
session at Knoxville, declared the act of the last ses
sion of the Legislature, entitled “An act to author
ize the formation of companies, and regulate private
and local affairs and retrench the expenses of legisla
tion, which gives to the Circuit Courts the power
to incorporate Insurance Companies, &<»., to be un
constitutional and void ; the legislature having no
power to delegate the authority to grant charters of
incorporation. The Court also sustained the action
of the last legislature in repealing the charters of the
Central and Miners and Manufacturers Banks; but
construe the law so as to allow said Banks, as corpo
rations, three years from the time of the repeal to sue
for and recover their debts and to windup their bu
siness.
Murder of Col. Baruit. —Serious apprehen
sions are entertained that Colonel Babbit, the Sec
retary of the Territory of Utah, who was formerly
the delegate in Congress from that Territory, Las
been murdered ou the Plains bv the Cheyenne In
dians. We learn from W. M. F. Magraw, jus! ar
rived in this city, win left the frontier eight days
since, that Col. Babbit, whose train had been cap
tured this side of Fort Kearney, had gone on to
Fort Kearney after the capture of his train, and had
there obtained four government mules, and left on
the 2d of September with one man in a light car
riage, with despatches to Fort Laramie, which point
he had not readied on the 14th of September, when
Magraw’s party, with the United States mail, left
Fort Laramie for Independence. The party could
hear or learn nothing relative to him. * His friends
in Missouri and on the plains are of the opin
ions that he and his companions have been mur
dered. _
Col. iiabbit should have got through to Fort Lar
amie in five or six days, if not mo ested. One of the
Sioux Indians who had been pardoned by the Presi
dent of the United States for the murder of Ma
graw’s men two years ago, and was being escorted
home to his tribe by Captain Stewart, of the army,
got permission to go in advance of the escort. This
Indian knew that Col. Babbit had left Fort Kear
ney for Laramie, and followed the tracks of his
mules up into the bluffs, near Ash Hollow, until he
found evidence that Babbit’s wagon had been de
stroyed ; found a man’s shirt and other marks going
to satisfy him that Col. Babbit ami his companion
had been murdered. He turned for his own safety,
and crossed the North Fork of Platte River, and pro
ceeded on that side to Laramie, where he reported
what lie had seen, and his conclusions on the
subject.
Mu. Fillmore the Union Candidate —Millard
Fillmore is something mure than the American can
didate. He is the Union candidate, a- dibiiiiguiah-
C(] from the candidates of the Northern Sectional
ists, and Southern Seotionalists ; and as the Union
candidate, he is the favorite of that conservative
element, which esteems the interests and rights ol
the whole counfry superior to the interests of any
mere party. The conservative element is now fully
aroused. It is exhibiting itself unmistakably
throughout the South ; and while Southern Locofo-
COB, headed by Wise, Adams, Brooks and Slidell,
are planning the programme of a dissolution of the
Union, in the event of Fremont’s election, the honest
conservative Southern people are rallying to pre
serve the Union, by electing Fillmore. They are
no longer to be gulled by the stale humbug tl.fr
Buchanan’s election is essential to the protection of
the rights of the South. They remembe r that when
the rights of the South were entrusted to Fillmore,
he was faithful to the charge. He, as President,
would guard the rights of the South more vigilantly
and trgsl’ly than Buchanan, whom tiielocofoeou tell
us h the friend, par excellence, of Southern institu
tions ; and it is the growing conviction of this fact
that is causing the steady and patriotic of both par
ties of the South, who, as Southern men, want taeir
l ights aud nothing more, to rally around Fillmore as
the Union candidate. —Raleigh Register.
A Good One.—There is a distinguished Demo
cratic politician in Mississippi, says the Memphis
Enquirer, remarkable for the recklessness of hi * as
sertions on the stump, who is not unfrequently call
ed “The Well Digger.” The other day, so it is re
ported, an old man, a Tennesseean, was introduced
to him directly after one of his speeches in the State,
who remarked —
“Well, Governor, I think you are the mail who is
sometimes called the ‘Well Digger V ”
••Yes,” said the tiovernor, *.I believe they do
sometimes call me that; but the truih is 1 never dug
a well in my life."
“I thought so,” said the old eournv ;:n •). “They

your speech to-day, I should that you had \

The French Dam; Suspension in Boston.—
State street in Boston, on Wednesday, exhibited as
much surprise and disquiet on the announcement of
the suspension of the Bank of France as was mani
fest elsewhere. It was instantly a subject of marvel
that news of such importance in the financial world,
if true, should not have outrun the mail, and been
public in Liverpool, through the telegraph, before
the sailing of the Persia. Such remissntss on the
part of the telegraph in England or the United States
would be unaccountable ; but the French ethics of
government extend their fostering care over the tel
egraph as well as the printing press. As Louis Na
poleon and moat of the member* of his government
and men about him, a.c known to be personally and
deeply involved in the operations of the “Credit
Mobilier,” which are the cause of the present finaii
cial troubles in France, we have no difficulty in
comprehending why the telegraph should h*.ve been
rilent upon the subjc r t of the suspension of the Bank.

Philadelphia, Qct. 12. —0 n Saturday night 12
o’clock, a'man named William Mclntyre was killed
by a .'hot fired by some unknown pc .‘-ops on the
corner of Ninth and South streets. The Shiftier
Hose Company was 'pissing at the time, and’the
crime is laid to their charge* The police immediate
ly arrested all the members, with the carriage, and
others they found at the house of the company, ma
king 36 iu all Among the prisoners is John Eng*
llsb, said to be a constable of Baltimore, (there is
no one of that name connected with the Baltimore
police,) who had his carpet bag with him: appa
rently about to take his departure. Two or three
others are said to be from Baltimore.
The slug fired entered the heart of Mclntyre caus
ing instant death. The deceased was of a disvepu
table character, and a few months since war charged
with beating out the brains of a woman with a porter
battle.
There is an intense excitement in the city to day
regarding the mtirderof Mclntyre last nigh?, on ac
count of the efforts made to give the affair a politi
cal bias. The arrest of so large a number of the
Shiftier Hose company, all of whom are Americans,
is universally condemned, as it looks like a disposi
tion or! the Democratic authorities to cut off so
many votes on Tuesday. The examination by thp
Coroner is also, to be postponed until after the elec
tion, the Americans in the rpeau time to remain in
carcerated. It is regaided ;.s o, usurpation m power
unparalleled, and the excitement is nko ly oad to
a feqrful timena Tuesd^v.
The police officer who saw the shot ffr.-d that ki 1-
ed Mclntyre, testifies to his belief that .1* *!i*» English
of Baltimore, was the person who fired ; t. When
arrested he hud a revolver, one l*ai r-l ■ vh eh was
discharged. All the partits arrested wor j commit
ted.
[The party accused is believed to be Jofrn Eng
lish, at one time a city watchina;., and one of tbe
most active in *he yg«t at the Lexington market
with the New Market gang on the election day.—

Phidadeli hia, Oct. 13. —The into
the case of the Shiftier Hose Company, to-day at the
Mayor’s office, luu. atfr acted a large crowd. No
conclusive evidence was elicited. One officer testi
fied that he believed John English, of Baltimore;
was the one that fired the pistol, but the slug taken
from the body of the deceased was entirely too large
for the pistol found on English, disproving that
charge. On the conclusion of the evidence a motion
to discharge a portion of she prisoners ou bail was
argued, but Attorney General Reed coin ended tgat
they should, be remanded to pi tsun icr trial, on charge
of murder and, riot T.?e whole party, thirty-unee
'■'■’.-■i to jail. Tuis de
cision has created much angry feeling among the
friends of the prisoners.

OBITUARY.
Hied at Ills residence, in Meriwether county, Ga., on
tl;«- I Ith inst., Mr. WM. C. EfijQM, in tho ‘47th year of
lie. v i.og the irrepressible consolation on his death bed
b" k back upon a life of irreproachable morality axd
c-Moti.l- ; »• in the Redeemer, he met the mon-ter, Death,
ca ndy an d resignedly in hopes of “another and a bcttei
world ’’ lie has left a widow and two children to be east
a inf: on life’s rough billow, under tlie paignant sense of
their loss. May ins God be their God in life and in death
1 loved thee, dear brother, while yet I was young,
Wh. ;• die soft lispilitf accents first fell from my tongue;
I loved and esteemed thee in the more recent time,
When l saw time fast verging to brave manhood’s
But that fatal decree, the sure lot of all earth,
Hu- suddenly called thee from life unto death,
And thy pure soul lias flown tomansions above,
To dwell with thy Father in joy, peace and love.
A deep grave was prepared in Sharon's pure mould.
Where they laid thee to rest with the youngand the old,
And moistened the earth with wanii tears of regret,
As the mourners stood over thy last place of rest.
When Providence dictates with such absolute sway,
’Tis proper weak mortals should yield and obey ; ’
With a!i duo submission—this hard lesson receive—
T would be wrong for me any longer to grieve.
IILS BROTHER, R. E. ESHOM.
TENNENT LOMAX, second sou of Geoiye and Caro
line 8. Graves, died in Lowudesviileon the 31st of Au
gust, 1856, after a short and painful illness, in the 9th
year of his age.
Death, in laying his icy hands upon tho old, whose
head the frosts of age have whitened, and into whose
cheeks the ploughshare of time lias marked deep furrows,
out claims his own ; but when, he claims the young, the
beaut it’ul, the lovely, we are inclined to murmur. (So we
felt when look ng upon the cold clay of this gifted boy.
He had lived long enough to entwine himself around the
hearts 4>f all—the pride of his parents, the admiration of
his relations. His manliness of character was proini
ueiit when standing in front of that grim monster, before
whom lie strong man often trembles. He said to Ins
lather, who was weeping at his bedside, “Don’t cry,
Ha, for lam going to heaven ; meet me there.” Oh, the
beauty, the power < f religion, that enabled this little boy
to triumph over the fearot deatfi a;;d the grave.
-•J" • LUCY C BARNE l'T, of Glounville, died at the
residence of her brother, Dr. Lamar, in Auburn, Ala.,
in her 3-d year.
81ie was converted at ten, and continued to enjoy re
ligion until she grew up to womanhood; about which
time under severe trial she declined in her religious en
joy incut. But being assured that wo must ‘enter the
kingdom through great tribulation, she soon conquered
her wrong feeling and ever manifested a consistent
Christian spirit and practice. She was ardently loved
t.»r her kindness and beautiful consistency of character
by the community in which she lived Her alfliction
was protracted and severe, but her faith reposed on
J. us crucified. A few days before her death she said
that she felt free from all condemnation, but was dis
tressed because she did not feel that full, abounding
joy she was accustomed to realize when in health. She
wished and prayed for triumph at the last aud her
prayer was gracious.y granted. In glorious triumph she
passed to “the inheritance among them that are sancti
fied.”
Died, October 7tli, in Oxford, Mass., STEPHEN ED
WARD DAVIS, aged 37 years.
PRESENTMENTS.
lli« Grand Jury of the First \Vcek,
Richmond Superior Court, October Term. 1856 :
We have examine 1 the records of the office of Clerks of
the Superior and Inferior Courts, the Court of Ordinary
and City Court, aud have the gratification of paying that
the different records and papers in each are \yell kept and
in handsome order. They also, beg leave to report that
they find, in tho first nr.raed office, six Books, to wit,
from the year 18*49 to 1840, requiring to be rebound;
also, in the second named, several important Books, em
bracing a period of about twenty yoars, in a very dilapi
dated stale, and which should be transcribed into proper
Books. They, therefore, recommend that the attention
ol the proper authority be called to the same ; but would |
remark that they are but reiterating the presentments of .
a former Jury.
We find the number of poo; Jfr!<*reu entitled to the
benefit of the Poor Em.d, tu b ; Fourteen Hun
dred and Forty-Four ; the probable amount to be re
ceived from the county for that purpose, jutft from
the .State, SCOO, making all together $1,900. The
amount due to Teacher? for tu,e year ]Bss # aud former
Tax Collector, 81,9.16,07, leaving a balance for the cur
rent year of $2,983.93.
We ha ve examined Into the condUiou of tho Poor
House, and find the inmates well provided for, with food
and clothing, and the House in a clean condition. There
are at present nine whites aud two colored persons,
making eleven in all. We recommend two or three
rooms to ba repaired and made comfortable for the in
mates.
We have examined into the condjUtm or the Roads and
Bridges, so far as we h?ve boen able, and find tbe same
i:i good order.
We have examined into the condition of the Jail, aud
and find the ceils clean and in good order, but would re
commend, that, owing to its present crowded condition,
additional ceils be added for the accommodation «f the
prisoners, which consists of 21 whites and 9 blacks;
Total
We present as a nuisance, the present “ Guard Room,'’
in the basement of the City Hall, and would earnestly
recommend its removal to some other and more suitable
location for-the purpose for which it is intended, and
which would prove less offensive than where it now is.
We present the neglected performance of patrol duty
and w -uld therefore call the attention of tbe proper au
thorities to the same.
We are deeply impressed with the importance of that
portion of your Honor’s cnarge which ai uded to Gam
bling, and feel sensibly the importance of suppressing *
vice that is so destructive to the peace and well being of
-oeioty. our regret is the more acute from cv inability to
do more thar make a passing mmporary effort at
enforcing the law on this subject.
In most civiD .cc countries, the strong hand of govern
ment lies been successfully applieo to the extirpation of
Gambling, and although it may be i-ipossi
ble to roach that particular class in society termed fash
ionable, in consequence of the t>f its position.
Vet the masses are protected against Gamblers as effec
tually by police violations as against, pickpockets or
other public depredators.
v\'e are quite disposed to make all reasonable allowance
for the peculiar circumstances that Riay interfere to ob
struct the officers of our city government in the discharge
of duties that might be oon«idered delicate, but the magni
tude of this vice, and its disastrous consequences, renders
it in.perative to ask— -Jjt it the duty of th.e government,
and policy of the city of Augusta, well as the Grand
•'•fry of Richmond county, tu. seek out and bring to jua
f ice those infractor j of the morals and law s of our couri
ti v or rye tney not equally bound {.y their oath of office
V- *»•-*-* > had prosecute a as well as a swindler
t,i tbe atnrmaiive Hue, we would ask are they :h
only rU- us ignorant of the existence and place
of I'cs'trr of such offenders • If so, then their ignorance
is certainly blissful and very remarkable. Thri subject
i- brought in review eforeevery Grsn-\ law
v know to be sufficient for the pmnosc, and yet in ner
fcct contempt of the enayti>«at, Gambling is practiced
•iy There L something wrong
ui rl • /fr.w. .n this condition of things could no, be.
h.rt fr U.o remedy .Simply the discharga of a duty
vvti .ch every officer has sworn to T»^xiorm~- the enforce
ment and observance of the 'a.v-. ’ Let this be done in
the spir.* with which law was passed, and
will be baiW-.S**amongst us.
I- hl-siag’ our labors, we return our Xb&kz tahis
Honor the Judge, for his courtesy to us.
We also return our thanks p ike Attorney General for
hi - attention to the ZcjLiuz of his office, and the
prompt aid wh?rh j o t-cj afforded to the Jury in the dis
charge of ;h dutiei.
