ArrAi.MNCi ItiTuiriNG op a Ship.—The following
details of aliorriblecase of burning of a ship at Ala
oao have teen received at Lloyd’s :
“ The 1 >uteh ship Banea, Cunt. 1 ley mans, 700 tons

having eueouuteeed boisterous weather, and on
reaching the outer roads brought up to an anchor.
Then* she remained repairing, her officers exercis
ing strut vigilance in preventing the coolias going
ashore, for tear they should make their escape. For
the three week', whatever discontent may have
prevailed, no fears of an outbreak would seeui to
have been entertained, until a Chinese doctor warn
ed the c aptain that mischief was brewing. In pre-
I :irii*g for such a contingency as a risiug of the coo
.- s, the small arms were placed on the poop, and
two guns were loaded with grape, and pointed for
ward.
About 9 o'clock of the night of the Bth, the distur
bance commenced, and the crew took refuge on the
poop. The Captain first fired a shot or two over
head, but, ns that had no «(feet, and the coolies ad
vanced toward them, yelfug frightfully, armed with
belay ing-pins, bricks torn from the cooking-places,
«v c. * the Captain gave orders to Ida men to lire,
and immediately a volly was poured into the infuri
ated mass from the two guns, and also from* the
small in ins. This had the effect of checking and
putting down the riot, and the coolies were driven
below, but they sought revenge by a< Ring fire to
tin ship, and in a few minutes the Captain was ap
palled by seeing flames issuing up from the fore*
hati h. A frightful scene of carnage followed; the
fMiolhsrushed upon deck, and no doubt murdered
all the officer** of the ship. The ship was soon in a
blaze, fore and aft. In about an hour the main
mast tell with a crash, then the fore and mizeii,
and about midnight the magazine blew up with a
tromt nclous explosion. The ship was instantly hurl
ed to fragments, and a vast u umber of poor creatures
who wtn* clinging to the chains, perish* d with her.
i)f the nuiiiber who were on board, including crew
and passengers about 500, only lot) escaped with
their lives; the ivumiudor were wither burnt iu the
ship or drowned. The affair has produced a great
sensation in Hong Kong.

much uneasiness, but largo bodies of Tartar troops
had lately been brought down from the North, and
there was a report that the Rebels had been defeat

This required confirmation.

Marshal Kandon hafi left Algiers to assume the
command of tbe expedition destined to operate
against the Kabyles. I n Algeria the prevailing sen
t inent now is that the Kabyla must be sabdued at

tual precipices,*' says an occasional correspondent
of the Times, writing from Algiers, “this Kabylia is
all rich, cultivated land, covered with olive trees
and cornfiels. Kvea the precipices are covetable,
for the French are informea that rich minerals
crop out arising them. A little nation of some 7(H),-

their levels for the railway between Algiers and
Phillippeville, driving people who wish to Pavel by
Land to go south into the Sahara, in order to get into
the province of Constantine Can anything be
more imprudent or absurd ? More seriously speak

course of human event* that the French should
have the power to subdue this country, and should
reHist tli« temptation V The inhabitants, who are
of the Berber race, gave the Romans no little
trouble, and they are mi ill an enemy to be feared.—
Bui it is not expected that they will offer any pro
tracted resistance to the French forces. From the
Moniteur Algerien we learn that the expeditionary
force has already obtained some advantages over
the Kabyles, and that several sheiks have sent in
their submission.
The opinion is becoming more general that the
Neapolitan question will be settled without a hos
tile demonstration, notwithstanding that rumors to
the contrary continued to be pers*. veringly circula
ted.

Tlio La l‘az Sufferers*
The reader will remember that a few months
ago a large number of Americans, on their way
from California to the Atlantic States, we seized at
Lu l*az, in Mexico. These men, without reason,
or right, or any culpability, were subjected to the
most brutal treatment. Their story, however, is
bit ily told in the ? übjoined m tide from the Picayune.
Alter great fUftVr.ng some forty of them mana
ged to leave Mexico. The others —between forty
and fifty—arc still there, without means to reach
their homes, and iu the most abject poverty. —Mobile

The Texas brought upto this city, from Vera Cruz
on Friday, thirteen men of the American passengers
by the Archibald Grade, fr m Son Francisco, who
were seized at La Paz, in Alta California, by the
Mexican authorities, and detained so long in prison
and in iron**.
The whole number of persons thus seized was
originally 87. This was about the middle of No
vember of last year. They were kept in confine
ment in a room about forty feet square until the
27th of I lecember. when they were taken out and
irons two and two, and put. on board of vessels, to
San Bias. This horrible voyage, by reason of the
calms, occupied twenty-four days. On the arrival
at San Bias, the irons were immediately ordered to
lie taken off. The prisoners were then inarched to
Topic, and then a further distance of 300 miles to
Guadalajara, which place they reached on the (ith of
February. Leaving that on the 12th of March, they
were marched on foot to Guanajuato, where they
arrived March the 19th, mid on the 20th of April
reached Escapasalco, a small town in the vineinity
of the City of Mexico. This long journey was made
on foot, a distance of thirteen or fourteen hundred
miles.
At Escapasalco they were not put into close
confinement, but were allowed to go at large all
day, with an allowance of titty cents a day for
.their support. The allowance on the journey was
only twenty-five cents a day. They remained here
several months, unable to a trial. A number
ejeaped with little obstruction, and went back to !
Caliiornia ; others escaped, and have heretofore ar- 1
rived in; lie United States. They were tired of]
waiting for the trial, and the compensation which j
was due them for their imprisonment aud detention j
The present company, consisting of thirteen, start
ed July fiili, and found no interruption in walking
down to Vera Cruz, or in getting on the Texas.—
Several met friends in the City of Mexico,who paid
their passage. They express much gratitude to Dr.
Ed ward Burr for his generosity. Others were
brought by tire steamer at its own cost, having no
chance for payment, except by the Government
hereafter. This party of thirteen consists of Joseph
B. Smith, of Virginia; Win. H. Hughes, of Indiana
A. VV. Browning, of Missouri ; James 11a kins, of
Arkansas; Charles Brown, of Ohio; Geo. W. Hop
kins, of Vermont; Alexander Harper, of Kentucky ,
A. M. Spencer, of Florida; Join Anderson, of Indi
ana . J .dm Walden, of Indiana . J. 13. Nichols, of j
Kentucky ;S. H: Crooks, of Missouri, and A. i
Young, of Texas.
These persons have reached here in a state of
positive destitution. They exhaust ad all their little
means in reaching Vera Cruz, and have landed here
utterly without means, and need assistance to enable
them to reach their homes. We are sure the appeal
will not be made in vain, and we hope that our ex
cellent Mayor will bike the matter in hand, and see
that arrangements are made to enable these injured
fellow-citizens to reach their homes.
Their case is already before the Government, and
there cannot be a doubt that full satisfaction will be
exacted for the v indicted upon them.

Are the B‘rotkern people prepared to dissolve this
Union! to tear m fwc6> that Constitution, which
originated in tbe piofouudest political wisdom, of
which any age of the world can boast: cemented
b' the best blood of the noblest patriotism that bi»-
t.jry records, because pimply, any man, though th®
representative of a foolish and unseemly faaaticism
may b< elected through the folly and madness of an
unwinking ami mislead majority ? We are loth to
permit ourselves to believe, that Fremont's election
i*a bait- possibility. True, t/hecaa carry New
York be may be elected. But supine he koulj
before the people prepared to rend the Union as
«under from tide fact alone ? Will they not pause ?
will they not reflect ? Will they act with the wn
pauent haste of epoik-d children ? with the un
petuosify of the mountain torrent ? Aie tiw-re no
glorious memories of the yrithhold no tear
fui dan£r‘o> ahead to stay. them,*We trust il-.ete are.
These are questioiiß that may by p aabllity have
to be f'.oswefcd at uo very distant da; . W ill the
reader be surprised to hear that there U a party at
the South, ol no mean pretensions, both as to num
berb and the talents and prominence of its ieaaers,
who fear the election of Mr. 1* tUmorechiefly because
it wiil thwart their dmuniou designs. P'lrtie*, like
individual*, long accustomed to tius exercise of pow
er do not yield it up without a straggle, and en un
lawful and hazardous one if need he. The fact can
not be disguised that many of the prominent lead
er* of the Democratic party in tbe .South are open
avowed Drsariionixta, and the further fact is equally
true, that all the DWuiociets are of that party -. or if
there be exception*, they a e not within our know
ledge. VV will submit a few fact* for the conside
ration of our readers. Let h ero weigh them and
judge for toemselvc-8. It ia high time to look theee
dangers fall in the face, and to prepare to meet the n.
We regard it an ab*olule imp .ssibility for the Unic .u
Pi be dissolved without a civil w r. and a* we nave
before said, if such a war be commenced, it would
be without a parallel in history, iu its terntne con
sequences, not only to ourselves, but to our race.
May Heaven torbid : Let the heart of every pa
triot Christian turn with earnest supplication to the
All wise Disposer of events, that <ueu a calamity
may be averted. But to the facte. To be forewarn
ed is to be forearmed, and to be foreasned, is often
to prevent the danger before it is at hand.
The Hon. Robert T-ximbs, than whom but few
men in Georgia possesses greater influence, and a
supporter of Mr. Buchanan, has said that "if Fre
mont was elcfed, the Union would be, and ought
to be, immediately dissolved.” Another distin
guished Southern Senator it is reported, said tlie
same thing in tlie Senate of the U. States.
Are the people of the South prepared to endorse
this -sentiment t For ourselves we are not, though
v. e could not regard Fremont's election in any other
sense than a calamity, and the result of madness
and fully on the part of his Northern supporters.—
Nevertheless, a mere trifle, a* compared with dis
union and civil war. We, in that unfortunate event,
prefer to wait for overt aeh-: of aggression upon our
rights, and not disso.ve the 1 uiou if a majority of
the people of the States should put an adventurer,
tbougo ;; madman, iu the Presidential chair. The
law provides for hi* impeachment and there may be,
and probably will be, virtue and strength enough in
the House of Representatives to do it, should it be
necessary to preserve tbe constitution and our rights
under it.
Mr. Brook*, a li<-; * ntative from South Caro
lina, declares disunion to be inevitable il Fremont
i* elected and that'‘ti.e South should rise, march ou
Washington City, and seize by force the National
archives and treasury.” He is opposed to the elec
tion of Mr. Fillmore on the ground, that in that
event, cisunion may not be effected.
Mr. Slidell, the distinguished Senator Hum Louisi
ana, and tiie most influential friend of Mr. Buchanan
in the South, in a.letter to the people of his State,
said, that if Fremont was elected ”the Union can
not, and ought not to be preserved.”
And why'not, may we notask? Though mad
ue*s rule for tlie hour, it cannot las.. What mad
nos* is like that which imperils the Union of these
States, and w ith it liberty and the hopes of the
down trodden millions of < urth. Is there not virtue,
intelligence, honor, patriotism and religion enough
iu this laud to sustain and preserve our constitution,
our law*, our freedom and the great and inestimable
privileges we now enjoy, even though the fofly of
the North should place a reckless adventurer ut the
helm of affaire? Is there not strength enough iu
these combined, to resist?—not with arms and
bloodshed and 1 nitrici. til war—but by a patient, so
ber second thought, a wise forecast, and an humble
tru. t iu that Providence who was to our forefathers a
pil ar of cloud by day and oi fire by night, during the
<iurk eventful period of the Revolution—tlie danger
that threatened us.
Mr. Keiit, a Representative from Sou h Carolina,
said iu a speech made at Lynchburg, Virginia, “I
tell you, if Fremont is elected, adherence to the
Union is treason to liberty. The Southern man
who will submit to Ms election is a traitor and a
coward.”
Bold words these, if not brave. Ex-Gov. Floyd,
of Va., was present at the delivery ot this speech,
and applauded it as eloquent, sterling and power
ful.”
The present Governor of Virginia is a bold, da
ring, it not a reckless man. He has declared disu
nion inevitable if Fremont is elected, and has issued
a proclamation calling for the reorganization and
arming of the Virginia Militia. In a speech deliv
ered about the same time, he used the following lan
guage :
‘‘You will find hundreds that will say, oh, wait!
wait for some overt act—wait for him to do some
overt act—wait for him to do some wrong. Will any
person, entertaining feelings of self-respect, having
the spirit and courage of a man, wait to prepare for
war while its cloud is in the horizeiq until alter the
declaration of war is made. Tell me if the hoisting
of the Black Republican flag in the hands of an ad
venturer, while the arms of civil war are already
clashing, is not to be deemed an overt act and de
claration of war ? If you submit to the election of
Fremont, you will prove what Seward and Burlin
game have said to be true—that tlio South cannot
be kicked out oi the Union. What w ill you do if
this declaration of war is made? l>o you ask me
what I will do I say to you that I reserve my an
swer for the present. I deliberately say to you, I
will do whatever you will back me in, to save us,
or die. War is-u terrible thing, and we ail have to
remember, that, if it begins, it will not only be the
North against the South, it will be a civil war of
neighborhoods for liberty against oppression—for
right against power. The saddest reduction to me
is, that in such a crisis there will be found many
traitors among us.”
After speaking of the party issues, he said :
“These are fearful issues, they are issues of peace
or war, of civil war, of blood, disunion, and death.
To tell that we should submit the election of a Black
Republican, under circumstances like these, when
his election would be an open, overt proclamation
of public war, is to tell me that Virginia and her
fourteen sister slave States are already subjugated
and degraded, that the Southern people are without
spirit to defend the rights they know and dare not
maintain.”
What wc may ask could Fremont accomplish if
he were made President ? He could not restore the
Missouri Compromise line if ho would, nor could he
in&Ke Kansas a free State, contrary to the will of her
people. And is not the Senate iu his way, and an
at present constituted, likely to be so, for the next
four years? And it is by no means certain that
the House of Representatives will much, longer con
tain a Black Republican majority. The probabili
ties are all the other way, if there is any reliance
to be placed upon the Telegraphic accounts of the
recent elections in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indi
ana.
But our article is growing to 100 great length and
we must content ourselves for the present with sub
mitting a few more facts.
The Richmond Enquirer the leading Democratic
paper in Virginia says :
‘ Disunion, in the event of his election, is inevita
ble. Such an event is a remote contingency ; but
let the North and South prepare to meet it. Let us
if possible, part peacefully. Let t iie North deter
mine whether it. will have several confederacies or
one. Let Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Indiana, and
Illinois, see whether their interests will not be best
promoted by uniting with the southern confederacy, j
Let California, too, study well the question whether
she will have a Pacific Republic, because tributary
to New England, or unite with the South. Let us
all look t hese contingencies fully in the face. It is
not too late for treason and Fremont to retreat, nor
for the friends ofthe Union to lash them from the
field if we will but combine.’*
The Charleston Mercury says :
“ There is not a single public man in her limits,
(South Carolina,) not one of her present Represen
tatives or Senators in Congress who is not pledged
to the lips in favor of disunion.’’
The New Orleans Delta, the leading supporter of
Mr. Buchanan in the Southwest says :
“ It is already arranged, in the event of Fremont's
election, or a failure to elect by the people, to call the
Legislature of Virginia, Soutli Carolina and Geor
gia, to concert measures to withdraw from the
Union before Fremont cun get possession of the
army and navy aud the purse strings of government.
Governor Wise is actively at work already in the
matter. The South can rely on the President in the
emergency contemplated. The question now is,
whether the people of the South will sustain their
leaders.”
Mark the language, or a foil are to elect by the
people. Dues not this look like a determination to
rule or ruin ? And can these men find no remedy
fur the evils of which they complain ? The election
of Mr. Fillmore would save the Union, restore har
mony, put down sectionalism, and once more place
the country ou its grand career of peace and pros
perity.
But still another movement is said to be on hand
which locks tu the same object. We give it for
what it is worth 111 another pan of this paper. We
should not attach much importance tu it but for
such facts as we have alluded to above. In con
nection with them, it is not without significance.
We refer to the articles lVom the Raleigh Register
and Baltimore Patriot, for which we are indebted
to the Journal and Messenger. We arc sorry to see
the name of Governor Johnson connected with this
supposed movement. He has been sometime at the
North stumping it for Buchanan. The people of
Georgia elected their Executive lor a different pur
pose than this. It is a mutter perhaps that, they will
care but little about, if it has this extent and no
more . but if he is therefor the purpose of concoct
ing schemes of disunion, the people of his State
have a right to know something more about it. We
do not place much reliance upon the statement,
however, so far as he is concerned ; and yet the ru
mor furnishes a very good reason for his Excellency
to inform the public of the cause of his long stay at
the North, if the reason for it is other thau private.
Whilst we would not pry into the movements of
any one, or criticise too closely the acts of public
personages, we may be permitted the remark that
the people are jealous of the honor and character of
their chief Executive officers and feel humbled
when they let themselves down from the dignified
sphere in which they are expected to move, to do
the work of part bans, not to say disunionists, in
other and distant States. We shall look with seme
degree of interest for farther developments.—Cen
tral Georgian.
Fillmore is California.— The following ac
count of Fit*leori’s prospects in California, we
take from the New York Express:
“We have the most cheering intelligence front
California by the George Law. Both private let
ters. and the newspaper accounts, give every rea
sonable assurance that the Golden State is safe for
Fillmore and Donelson in November. As a solita
ry il’usiration of the spirit and enthusiasm with
which our friends on the Pacific side are pushing
the canvass, we may state tha. there are now twen
ty-four newspapers in California, which sustain the
good cause. The names upou the electoral ticket
are all of the right stamp. The speakers are can
vassing the State -with an energy and a determina
tion to win—and now that the ballot box siuffcrs
have been thoro; ghlv weeded out —there is but li*-
tie doubt the free, fair, untrammelled expression of
the people's will next month, will e lit favor of
Fillmore and Douelson. This is good news, and es
true as it is good. It indicates that California is
not ready just yet to “Let the Union B.ide," nor
anything like prepared to strike fifteen stars from
the national banner.”
Hon. John Hickman.—The Columbia S. C.,
Times says: This gentleman, who has just been re
elected to Congress in Pennsylvania, us one of the
Buchanan Democrats, is one of the most ultra Black
Republicans iu that State. His influence pending
the election of Speaker last winter, was directed
against the party with which he is now associated,
lie may be set down, fairly, as a disorg&niser. On
8
iel Wells, of Wisconsin, in opposition to Mr. Aiken
and the Democratic party, yet the success such
men is hailed as omen for good—that the Keystone
State is still true to the principles of Democracy.
With such crumbs distributed by tue Pennsylvania
Democracy, are Southern Democrats willing to ac
knowledge satisfaction.
This same Hickman was an active participant in
ti: creation ofthe Kansas Investigating Committee
and on almost every occasion aided by his vote and
counsel the Free Soil and Black Republican parties
in the House. This is a specimen of the material
now palmed off by the Pennsylvania Democracy
as the friemls of tiie South and co-laborers for the
success of Jumc-s Buchanan.
Mark the Fact. —The Winchester Republican
justly remarks that all the discordant marmurings
about tiie dissolution of the Union, and all mereiv
sectional movements, come from the friends of Bu
chanan and Fremont. The supporters of Fillmore
stand up for the Union, and they scout all other
“music.’' The quiet, order-loving people every
where are beginning to notice the stoking contrast
presented between the conduct of the Fulxnoreites
uid the extremists North and South. The difference
Is a serious one, and : t must have its effect in behalf
ot the party whose noble aim it is to give the coun
try repose.

Death of Hay** Bowdre.
The melancholy duty devolves onus of chroni
cling the death of one of our beat and truest triends,
Mr. Hays Bowdre, who di d Monday, at his re
sidence in this city, after a protracted illness of seve
ral months, in the sixty-fourth year of his age. He
was a native of Columbia count v, but while yet a
youth, came to Augusta, where he has resided for
near half a century.
He was a man of great energy of character and
determined will, and early established a high repu
tation for promptness, integrity and business habits,
which he maintained through life. A man of kind
heart aud generous impulses, he adhered with un
wavering fidelity to Lis friends, aud was ever ready
to serve them, in offices of kindness and friendship.
Nor was he wanting in those nobler traits of character,
which combine to constitute the philanthropist and
good citizen in all the relations of life. In his chari
ties he was prudent and circumspect, apparently al
ways desirous to avoid d ; splay, but never failed
to contribute to the wants and comforts of the dis
tressed, when satisfied they were worthy. Such a
man was Hays Bowdrf.—we knew him well, aud
intimately. Peace —peace to his ashes.

Election Returns.
We will thank our friends to send us the returns
of the election in their respective counties, by the
first mail after the complete vote is ascertained.
Are You Ready, Fillmore 3len ?
We shall have no opportunity after this, previous
o the Election, to address the readers of our weekly
paper, and do not think there is much necessity for
exhorting them to do their duty next Tuesday. The
time for argument is past; the questions involved in
•i!s canvass have been all fully aud at length dis
v ussed ; if all that has been said and written has fail
cd lo impress them with the vast importance of this
Election, all that we can now say or do will be of no
avail. The time for action, on the part of
the friends of the country, has not
however. A few days yet remain, in which,
it may be, that the fate of the election,
df the country, of their liberties, of their insti
tutions, and their own and their children s fate,
for weal or woe, shall be fixed forever, and we con
jure them not only to go to the polls themselves, but
to see that all our friends go likewise. To any who
are disposed to be indifferent or lukewarm, we say
remember, that upon your votes depend:
Whether this agitation of the slavery question,
i lore dangerous to the tenure of your property than
all the efforts of all the Abolitionists, gotten up by
demagogues North and South for their own selfish
purposes, shall be kept up, or whether it shall cease
at once ;
Whether you will sanction your own exclusion
from the common territory of the Union—not by
Wilmot Provisos—not by Missouri Compromises—
but by a measure more “ odious” than either, insid
iously devised to effect the same end, while cloaked
under the specious disguise of a “measure of jus
tice to the South” :
Whether you will sanction a law which gives to
t.fien paupers and criminals inestimable privileges,
a liich it denies to our own citizens :
Whether you will lend your favor to those men
v. ho threaten to rend the Union asunder, to tear the
Constitution to fragments, and to plunge you into
the horrors of civil war, only because their insatia"
b e ambition seems likely to go unsatisfied;
Whether the invaluable privileges, which you
h ive enjoyed in the Union and under the Constitu
tion, shall be continued to your posterity, or wheth
er the whole shall fall to ruins within four years, as
your opponents threaten :
Whether you will sanction the extravagant waste
of the money you pay for the support of government,
or whether you will turn out these money changers,
a id place yourselves iu a position to demand from
your public servants, rigid economy and strict ac
countability:
Whether you will have peace at home anTl honor
abroad, or whether you will have your country rent
with intestine broils, dishonored in the eyes of the
j it ions of tli eearth, and looked upon as a nation of
r. >bbers whom no treaties can bind :
In fine, will you have Millard Fillmore to
serve you—the “model President,” whose former
administration all parties joined in praising—the
< mdidate who tells you that he will know no North
and no South, but, will do equal justice to all sec
tions—whose word, his opponents tell you, is truth
ilself—the man you have once tried and found faith,
ful, capable and honest—who quelled the fanaticism
of your abolition enemies, gave quiet to the coun
try, and by so doing gaiued their deadly enmity—
or will you be ruled by James Buchanan, the rep
resentative of th.it abominable doctrine, squatter
sovereignty, by which you will be deprived of your
rights in the common heritage as certainly as you
would be by the notorious Wilmot Proviso —a can,
didatc not nominated by the people, but by a Con
vention composed, according to Tom Benton, of of
fice-seeking members of Congress, office-holders,
political eunuchs, aud bullies from the Five Points
of New York—a candidate whose election would
do nothing towards amending the extravagant ex
penditures ofthe government, or quieting the irrita
ting agitation which is endangering our institutions,
and whose administration will soon prostate the go
vernment in ruins, according to the admission of his
own friends.
Voters of Georgia, you have to choose, next
Tuesday, between these two men—choose wisely
choose thoughtfully—choose so yourselves'
The Tariff*and the* Government Expenses.
Among the many instances in which Democratic
practice has varied very widely from Democratic
professions, none is more glaring than iu relation to
the tariff and the government expenditures. Often
the declaration has been made that ihe party were
in favor of a tariff for revenue only sufficient to
meet the economical and ordinary expenses of the
Government. Even in their very last platform of
principles, set forth at Cincinnati, the declaration
was made “ that no more revenue ought to be raised
than is required to defray the necessary expenses of
the Government.” Yet what has been the game
that our Democratic rulers have played upon the
people ? The present tariff raises nearly twice as
much ns is necessary for au economical expenditure,
a id it might reasonably be supposed that the domi
n mt party would regulate the rate of duties to the
s: audard of its necessities. But such a process
would not suit their Northern supporters who look
foi “incidental protection.” They have adopted an
other dodge. lustead of reducing the tariff they
have doubled the expenses of the Government in the
last four years, so that at present it is equal to a tax
of three dollars on every man, woman and child,
black aud white, in the Union, fur the support of the
Government. This sum, if raised by direct taxa
ti m, which was once a favorite scheme with the
party, would cause these spendthrifts to be hurled
from power immediately, but the people being made
t i pay it in a round about way, though it is none
the less unwarrantably taken from their pockets,
tamely submit to the imposition.
The government, by this exorbitant taxation, ab
solutely raises more money than it knows what to
do with, and it might have been expected that the
Southern Democrats in the last Congress, who were
so rampant against all tariffs a few years ago,
would have been consistent enough lo have demand
ed some redaction in the present tariff, but “times
change and men change with them” so from begin
ning to end of the session, not a word was heard
from them about any reduction in taxation ; on the
contrary, they spent as much money as possible;
they increased ihe expenses on every plausible ex
cuse. and that was their mode of keeping the tariff
down to “the necessary expenses of the govern
ment 1” Instead of levelling the tariff down to the
expenditures, they raised the latter up to the sum
produced by the tariff. To show how nicely they
keep the government cash book balanced, we copy
from the official tables the items of receipts and
expenditures for the fiscal year ending June 30,
1556.
Receipts £73,918,111,46.
Kxpenditures 72,948,790,62.
If that is not close calculating and accurate finan
ciering. then there is no truth in figures!
All this demands reform. What an immense cor
ruption fund -will the Democratic party have on
hand in the next four years: for we have no right to
expect any change except for the worse. If Bu
chanan is elected, he is pledged to the samecourse
of policy that Pierce has followed throughout his
administration, and if the people do not take the
remedy into their own hands they may expect not
only to be, as they are now, deprived of the rewards
of their labor, but to be disfranchised through the
money power which the government will possess
and will not scruple to use in elections. They have
submitted to be robbed of their money, will they al
so submit to be robbed of their right® t
'•Knew them by tlieir Faces.*
A very zealous Buchanan' Democrat, who was
pres -ijt at the discussion in Lexington between
Messrs. Hill and Stephens, gave a most earnest
and glowing description of the overwhelming tri
umph of Hill over the squatter sovereignty advo
cate. So complete was it, that the Buchanan
champion himself, cornered and exposed at all
points, was completely crest-fallen ; and you could
tell every Democrat in the crowd by their faces—
they were so horribly elongated. And as to him
self, he felt as though he could have “crept through a
very small hole.” Never, said he, in all my life, did
I ever, on the stump, see a man so completely and
effectually used up and demoi'sbed as was ‘“Little
EUick .”
ficorvin, #
We have been frequently asked our opinion as to
the prospects of Mr. Fillm.ore in this State, and we
now proceed to give out friends our impressions of
the state of the canvass. We shall do so with i e
utmost caution, for we have no desire to mislead any
one, or to excite any hope.- which may not be rea
ized. It is the most stupid folly in either party to
attempt to fix within thousands the amount of ma
jority, and we have so often seen all the calcula
tions of both parties ridiculously fail, as has been
the case wiihiu the last week or two in other States,
that our readers will bear us witness we have never
attempted to mislead them by guessing the event
of any election. So utterly futile is it to attempt to
predict results in Georgia, that, in the last twenty
years, we do not recollect a State or Presidential
election in which both parties did not predict they
would carry the State, and in which nine-tenths of
both parties were not disappointed.
Let it be borne in mind then, that we are about
to make no predictions—we are only going to give
our impressions in a sincere and candid manner,
impressions derived from conversations and letters
of men from all parts of the State. Perhaps no one
is in a better situation to judge the result of a can
vass than the conductor of a widely circulated pa
per, yet his opportunities are by no means perfect,
only less imperfect than those of others. The
speakers who canvass the State seldom see any but
the men of their own party, and they think it only
right and proper that the best face should be put
upon matters. Men who are engaged in their own
private concerns, know little of politics beyond their
own limited neighborhood, but an experienced
editor, with large correspondence, can judge with
more accuracy than any. He is accustomed to
study the signs of the political sky, as au old sailor
can foretell changes in the weather by signs in the
atmosphere, which pass unheeded by the unob
servant landsman.
Premising this much, we can assure oar readers ’
that, judging by evidences which ve hare obtained. I
the prospects of the Americ an party are brighter ;
than ever before in Georgia. Since the nomination ]
of Mr. Fillmore, he has been continually gaining
strength. After the nomination, and until his return !
from Europe, his candidacy sc emed to be received
with coldness and indifference, but the patriotic !
stand he, immediately upon Lis return, took before
the country, found favor in the opinions of the pe-o
pie, and lately the firmness with which he has dis
countenanced a continuance of the agitation which
is distracting the whole Union, has endeared him to
all conservative men. They look about them, and
they find both the other parties tending towards
the destruction of the institutions under which they
have enjoyed so much happiness and prosperity,
one at the North, whose course, if successful, must
result in disunion—the other, at the South, openly
aud boldly advocating it, declaring that it shall be
immediate in the event of an election of a particular
opposing candidate—declaring, at the same time,
t hat the election of their own candidate will ren
der disunion not the less inevitable, but only will
delay it four years. The majority of the people of
Georgia are Union men, as they have, in thunder
tones, time end again declared, and none of them
are so dull of comprehension as not to see that the
Buchanan, not less than the Fremont leaders, fail
to represent their sentiments; therefore those who
have the independence to shake off their party
shackles turn to their only hope, Millard Fill
more.
Besides, the people have not neglected to mark,
that throughout this excited contest, no one of Mr.
Fillmore’s opponents, who desires to preserve
auy character for veracity, Ims ventured to accuse
him of want of integrity, capacity, or fidelity to the
Constitution. Such a man is all the people want, or
ought to ask. They are apt to say, “he has affinn
ed that he will govern the nation as a national ruler,
favoring no section at the expense of another—his
words are verity, say his opponents—an honest, ca
pable, and just man is good enough for us” —and
they find him in Millard Fillmore.
We might go on and enumerate other causes of
the zeal which has been aroused, but we have been
led already away from our design of giving our im
pressions as to the result iu Georgia, and we will
give them in a few words. From all sections, with
the exception of two or three counties, our informa
tion is that the American party will gain upon their
vote last fall.
In many counties, we are assured, Mr. Fillmore
will run far ahead of his party, gaining votes from
the old Jackson Democrats, no friends of the new
doctrine of disunion promulgated by the party
which has usurped tlieir name. Those who voted
for Mr. Overbt, will, like that gentleman himself,
vote for Mr. Fillmore, with the exception of a
very insignificant minority. Thus Mr. Fillmore
unites in his favor nearly all those who were op
posed to Gov. Johnson’s election, and gains be
sides an increase of strength from the Democracy.
It is true, there are some who voted for Judge An
drews who will refuse to support Mr. Fillmore
but they are “like angels visits— -fete, and far be
tween.”
We fear that our friends have too genei ally neg
lected to make proper exertions in this canvass, be
cause the State has been considered, by many, as
sure to vote for Buchanan. On what grounds it
lias been so confidently claimed for him we arc un
able to understand, unless on tiie fundamental prin
ciple of his party, to claim every thing they have
need for, whether they have a right to it or not.—
We cannot see any thing to justify tlieir over-ween
ing confidence, and although there are but few days
to the election, we are satisfied if our friends will
use those days to promote the success of the candle
date so worthy of their exertions, the State may
yet be carried for Fillmore. Avery little exer
tion, we are persuaded, is all that is necessary to
neutralize the small advantage, if any, Buckisin
has over us in this struggle.

Pennsylvania nj.'uin>t Buchanan!
The following dispatches give anew phase to the
late election in Pennsylvania, and show a majority
against Buchanan, in the vote for Congressmen,
which is probably a much more reliable test of the
state of parties on national politics :
Philadelphia, Oct. 25.—The Evening Bulletin
to-day states that the full vote for Congressmen in
Pennsylvania shows a majority for the opposition
over the Buchanan candidates of 1246. The full re
turns appear in the Bulletin.
Second Dispatch. —The following is the aggre
gate vote for Congressmen Uni0n,211,194; Dem
ocratic, 209,948 —Union majority, 1,246.
And tliia is the result of the great Democratic vic
tory in Pennsylvania! A majority of less than one
per cent, on the vote for State officers, and a majori
ty against the Democracy of 1,246! Truly they
may say another such victory would be worse than a
dozen defee ts!
Letter from Judge Underwood.
The following letter from the Hon. Wm. 11. Un
derwood, a Fedaralist of the old school, should be
read by every citizen :
Atlanta, Oct. 25, 1856.
Dear Sir In answer to your enquiries, I
remark that it is not unreasonable that some should
suppose, that as James Buchanan and I were
Federalists of the same school, opposed to the war
of 1812, and the administration by which it was de
clared, and that his 4th of July speech, delivered in
1815, contained the very opinions which I then held,
and still do—that I should vote for him, (especially
as Mr. Buchanan has never, so far as I have ever seen
or heard, repudiated or changed any of the opinions
he then held) and so, I presume. I should, were it not
for several reasons, some of which I deem it un
necessary to mention, and will only mention two.
Ist. He has allied himself with a paUy which has
“innumerable sins upon its hoary head, and has
brought all the difficulties upon the country by
which it is surrounded I cannot, therefore, think
of aiding, by my vote, the continuance of such a
party iu power. .
2d. I have come to the clear conclusion “he can
not be elected.”
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
Wm. H. Underwood.
To D. R. Mitchell, Esq., Rome, Ga.
Which is it ?—The Democratic press are very wil
ling to claim that Pennsylvania and Indiana are sure
to go for Buchanan. It is somewhat strange that
they do not claim the credit of having demolished
Fremont, by their victories in those States and
rendered his election by the people impossible. Are
they reluctant to make the claim because they know
that they owe something of their success to the Fill
more men who refused to vote for the Union ticket ?
Or do they wish to continue to cheat the people in
to the belief that Fremont can now be elected by
the people ?
Mr. Fillmore’s Hostility to Abolitionism. —
We copy the following “interesting reminiscence”
from the New Orleans Crescent. The response of
Mr. Fillmore, as given by Col. Christy, furnishes
evidence of the real sentiments of his heart, stronger
and more conclusive than could have been given in
any other form :
Interesting Reminiscence. —The following let
ter from Col. Christy is quite interesting and appro
pos, and adds another important link in the chain of
proof demonstrating x}m Mr. Fillmore's hostility to
abolitsonism is a well settled principle with him,
which neither time nor circumstance can alter or af
fect. \Y e commend it to the consideration of all
true Southerners :
Mr. Fillmore in New Orleans— A Noble and Telling
Response.
Messrs. Editors : At a large dinner party given
by the Hon. C. M. Conrad at his own horn-e, to Mr.
Fillmore, when he was in New Orleans, I was one
of tne guests, as was D. F. Kenner, Mr. Robb, aud
I think Gen. Lewis and some fourteen others, whom
I* ™if now One of the party asked
Mr. r lllmore if he knew a certain gentleman in Buf
falo, naming him. The reply was In the affirmative.
ahe interrogator then observed, “I suppose* he is a
particular friend of yours." To which Mr. Fillmore
promptly replied, “An, sir, fa is not a friend of
mint fa is an Abolitionist.”
The effect of this reply upon the company was
electric, and the health of Mr. Fillmore was immedi
ately proposed, and drank with a subdued but
pointed chapping of hands by every gentleman pre
-Ben - Wm. Christy.
How it was Dose. —While the Democraticprt- s
is universally claiming a victory for their party in
Pennsylvania election, the Republican journals are
giving wide currency to such paragraphs as ties :
S'gsificast.— ln every county ia Penns- Ivania
where Fillmoreism had vitality, ti e Democratic
majority is large, while in those' coon where it
never had a foothold, or had entirely «o-d out, the |
Union ticket succeeded. This fact prove* that the j
most of the Fillmore men voted the Democratic j
ticket. A straight fight in November will show a
different result.— Phila. Ga;.
Railroad Accident. — 'Three Killed .—A cow

Ohio road, a short distance above Enterprise, Miss.,

Efertiou by thv House.
We have said, that by the result of the recent
elections it has been indisputably demonstrated that
Fremont mnot be elected by the people, that
point ;s yielded by his most strenuous supporters at
the North, and it only remains to be shown, that in
the House of Representatives his chances are equal
ly desperate.
The manner in which the House votes for Presi
dent. although it has often been explained, seems
yet to be a mystery to some. In au election by the
House, the States vote, not the members of Con
gress. Each State casts but a single vote, and the
majority of the members from each State decide for
whom that vote shall be cast. Delaware, with its
o_.e member exercises the same power in the elec
tion as New York with its thirty-three. It is sup
posed by some, that because the House elected a
Black Republican Speaker, that, therefore, they
will elect Fremont if the election goes to the House
—tire cases are, in no respect, similar—the Speaker
is elected by a majority (or plurality) of the members
who vote —the President by a majority of all the
States. We have published the explanation so of
ten, that we should have supposed it now unneces
sary, did we not hear questions constantly asked,
which show that the mode of election is not yet gen
erally understood.
Can Fremont be elected by the House ? We
take it for granted that no Southern State will vote
for him, therefore, we leave them entirely «ut of the
question. The fifteen votes of the Southern States
are for any body but liim.
All will recollect the manner in which Mr. Cobb
attempted, in a speech delivered in this State last
summer, to show the possibility of Fremont’s elec
tion by the House. On the unfounded assumption
that fifteen Northern Slates would vote for Fre
mont, he proceeded to show that the election de
pended upon the vote of the member from Dela
ware, who, he presumed, would vote for the Black
Republican candidate for the Pr esidency. This
as, immediately on Mr. Cobb’s return to Con
gress, contradicted by Mr. Cullen, the Representa
tive from Delaware, who pledged himself in the
most solemn manner to vote for Fillmore. Mr
Cullen’s declaration wrs s * energetic and explicit
that we wish to quote his words for the benefit of
those who may yet be doubtful ot his course, if there
be such :
“Mr. Cullen repeated that it was his duty to vote for
Mr. Fillmore to the last, and if God should permit
the electiyu to come into the House, he should fear
lessly do his duty.”
Besides Delaware, California will certainly vote j
against Fremont, unless her representatives prove
recreant to their trust. Therefore, giving all the
other Northern States to Fremonst —giving him
lowa and Illinois, which are doubtful—it is impossi
ble for him to be elected by the House .of Repre
sentatives, unless the Democracy prove recreant to
the South.
We think it is evident to every one that Fre
mont cannot be elected by any possible way. The
only danger to be apprehended is that the disunion
Democracy may, for the sake of carrying their
plans into execution, cast their votes for him in
preference to Fillmore, when they find the elec
tion of tlieir own candidate desperate. We cannot
forget that one or two of their prints have declared
their preference of Fremont to Fillmore, and
that some of the members of their party have avow
ed their willing ness to “vote for Fremont if liis
election would divide the Union.” But we are
very far from supposing that these are the senti
ments of a large majorityfof the party, or of tlieir
members of Congress, it is a cause of suspicion,
however, that they consented to the election of
Banks as .Speaker, when they could have defeated
him with a sound conservative man—a Virginia
Democrat. But, let by-gones beby-gones, as the
saying is, we will not entertain the thought that in
the election of President, Southern members will
so far forget, in the bitterness of party spirit, the
duty they owe to the country and their consituents,
as to suffer the Black Republican Presidential can
didate to be elected. After such a treasonable act
they would not dare to face a Southern constit
uency.
Fremont being out of tli3 contest, both before
the people and in the House of Representatives,
Mr. Fillmore’s chances forelection are vastly im
proved. Thousands at the North, who were, as
men are everywhere, only anxious to give tlieir
votes to the strongest side, and who see that Bu
chanan’s strength is more apparent than real, will
cast their votes for Fillmore. Others will vote
for him as their second choice—a choice be
tween two evils. Thousands at the South, who
only preferred Buchanan because beseemed to
stand the best chance of beating Fremont, if they
are sincere and honest in their declarations, will
rally under the Fillmore banner, now that the
contest is narrowed down to Fillmore and Bu
chanan.
Tlic Governor 5 * Convention•
We have before called the public attention to the
Convention of the Governors of the fifteen Southern
States, invited by Gov. Wise of Virginia, to meet
at Raleigh on the 14th instant, to devis what course
should be pursued by the South, in the event of
Fremont’s election, or in other words, to determine
upon the most approved mode of dissolving the
Union, and thus hatch a treasonable plot. We have
already adduced sufficient evidence to convince
the most sceptical, that such a meeting was con
templated and the fact that Governors Wise, of
Virginia, and Adams, of South Carolina, were iu
Raleigh at the time appointed, is quite conclusive-
The remarkable coincidence, that the following
despatch which was transmitted by telegraph from
Columbia, South Caroiiua, appeared simultaneously
with the subjoined paragraph in the Baton Rouge
(La.) Gazette , should not be lost sight of:
Columbia, S. C., Oct. 18.—Reports are in circula
tion here that the Governors of the fifteen Southern
States will meet at Raleigh to-morrow to consider
what steps are necessary in the event of Col. Fre
mont’s election.
Rumored Convention of Governors. —It is
rumored that a Convention of the Governors of the
Southern States has been quietly arranged to meet
at Raleigh, N. C., and that Gov. Wickliffe is now
on his way to attend the grand convocation. What
is to be done ? Wonder if the Governors will ar
range among themselves a secession of the South
ern States in case they deem it necessary, or wheth
er they will kindly permit the people to have a
voice in the matter.— Baton Rouge (iazette , 12 th,
Oetober.
Those two announcements appearing in different
and remote sections o r the Union almost simulta
neously, cannot fail to impress the public mind most
forcibly, and even in the absence of other testimony
would go far to convince all uupr« ju liced minds of
their truth. But we have other testimony, which,
fortunately, places the matter beyond doubt. We
are, therefore, not left to conjee* ure. It is known
that Governor Adams, of South Carolina, asserted,
several days previous to the time, us early as the
third of Oetober, “ that Governor Wise had invited
the Governors of the fourteen other Southern States
lo i~eet him at Raleigh , on the 14 th October , and
that seven of them had signified their intent ion to be
present on the occasion .”
This declaration of Gov. Adams was made known
and was the subject of conversation in this city and
State, previous to the time appointed for the meet
ing; and taken iu connection with the facts already
disclosed, cannot fail to exhibit the fact, that such a
convention was contemplated and arranged. Why
it did not assemble, the developments of the future
alone can disclose.
What Next.
Is it not singular that the Democratic candidate
for the Vice-Presideucy, should fiud a defender in
the New York Times, a most rabid Free Soil and
Fremont journal, and that too against the attack
of a Southern paper, the Montgomery (Aia.) Jour
nal l The attack of the journal was as follows :
“The charge has been made for some time against
Mr. J. C. Breckinridge, that he voted for the eman
cipation ticket in Kentucky. The charge has not,
as we have seen, been met or contradicted. Yet it
has not been stated with the circumstantial details
which would authorize us to assert it as a fact. I
it is true, let those who know it give the proof of
tl.-eir statement, as the matter is of vita!importance.
If it is true that Mr. Breckinridge is a Kentucky
emancipationist, or voted for the emancipation tick
et run in that State, he is no more fit for the support
of the Siavehoiding States than would be Cassius
M. Clay."
The Times declares that Breckinridge was an
emancipationist (but it assserts that he has since
changed his opinions) aud justifies his anti-Slavery
position on the ground that many good and great
men, entertained the same ideas. It neglects how
ever, to tell its readers that the circumstances of the
country, and of the institution are much changed
since their day. Breckinridge defended by the
Times is rather curious.
Squatter Sovereignty.
The article which we copy from the Louisville
Journal is a lucid and able exposition of the man
ner in which the Democratic party of the South has
been betrayed by their leaders into the hands of
their worst enemies. It will well repay a careful
and attentive perusal. The facts are proved that
these who were chiefly instrumental in the passage of
the Kansas bill, were no friends of the South, neither
was the measure itself expected to have any other
effect, thau to prevent the extension of slavery, and
in accordance with this view, the Democratic lead
ers, North and South, are pledgiug their party
against such extension. They may deceive the peo
ple with the cry that the Kansas bill is a great
measure of Justice and right to the South, but they
know iu then hearts that a more effectual and cun
ning scheme against her interests was never de
vised by the wit of man. Are the people wil
ling to be cheated and destroyed by demagogues
thus wielding “the secret blade of Joab.’’
Florida Election.
The returns from the recent election in Florida,
nearly all official, show that Perry, Democrat, has
been elected by a majority of 250 to 300. This ma
jority is so small, that the friends of Fillmore are
confident of carrying the State in November, against
the Squatter Sovereign candidate.
Convicted of Illegal toting.
James Welch, an Irishman, who had never been
naturalized, was tried during the past week, in this
county, upon the charge of illegal voting at the elec
tion in January last, for county officers, and found
‘■guilty." He is, therefore, now awaiting the sen
tence of the Court—which, under the law, is confine
men tin the Penitentiary from two to four years. His
wa sa very clear case. He was willing to take a hand
in ruling the couutrv, but whoiy unwilling to render
it any service. Soon after voting he was served by
the Sheriff to appear as a juror at the next term of
the Superior Court. He appeared, and to avoid
jury duty, swore that he was not a citizen of the
United States, and was of course discharged as a
juror. The Court, however, placed the matter be
fore the Grand Jury, and the result is told above.—
He is evidently paying pretty dearly for his exer
cise of suffrage, but it will be a it.-son to him for the
future, and we trust a warning to all uuens, to steer
clear of a similar fate.
Sentenced. —Ben Hughes, of H iifax county,
Va., charged with killing one of his negroes, was
tried last week, convicted of manslangbter and
sentenced to eight years impsisonment in the Peni
tentiary.
Extravagance of tlie Administration.
No one. we suppose, disputes the principle, that
the people*have the right to hold the government
responsible for the expenditure of the money they
pay for its support, and to demand from it strict
economy. They have exercised that right hereto
fore, and. have passed severe and just judgments
against those who wantonly have squandered the
public treasure. We cannot forget the signal con
demnation passed upon Van Buren, “the Northern
man with Southern principles,” as the Democratic
party delighted to hail him; we cannot forget the
denunciations hurled at him for his wasteful extra
vagance by the very same orators who are now
combatting side by side with him in the Buchanan
ranks, and upholding the present administration in
its prodigality. Yet. Van Buren’s expenditures
were parsimony, compared with the millions squan
dered by the Democratic Administration of Presi
dent Pierce. Van Buren was turned out of office
because he spent yearly thirty-seven millions of the
public money, and that, too, w*ith the plausible ex
cuse in his favor, that he had the expenses of the
Florida war to defray. The yearly expenditure of
Mr. Polk’s Administration was but forty-five mil
lions of dollars, and of Mr. Fillmore only thirty
seven millions, which Mr. Pierce has nearly dou
bled—the expenses of the government for the last
year being over seventy-one millions of dollars, in a
time ot profound peace, and with no good cause for
so enormous an outlay. The expenses of the gov
ernment are now sixfold more than they were thirty
yearn ago ; at the same rate of increase for thirty
years to come, they would reach the enormous sum
of five huudred millions of dollars.
The question arises what has become of this im
mense sum. It is true the population and extent
of the country has increased, but not at all in pro
portion to the increase of the Government expenses.
Col. Benton good Democratic authority fully and
concisely explains how the money has gone. He
says :
“Extravagant expenditure is the characteristic
of this administration. Never wassueh a profligate
waste of public money seen! Seventy to eighty
millions squandered per annum, and not a symptom
of any abatement. when Mr. Polk went out of
office, which was after the acquisition of all our
new Territories, he computed the annual expenses
of the Government at twenty-five to twenty-six
millions; now it is three times that amount and get
ting worse. Increase of offices aud salaries—in
crease of army and navy—multiplication of useless
agents to attend to the elections under the pretext
ot filling some office—waste of money in building
ships to rot, while refusing a dollar for the improve
ment of our great rivers; such are their devices to
get rid of the public money. Nearly a thousand
dollars a man is now the average cost of every man
in the army and navy, and the civil pension list of
England proposed for their further support. And
botli army and navy reduced, as fast as possible, to
the condition of government establishments—presi
dential and not national institutions. All appoint
ments are conducted on that principle; all dismis
sions and reductions are conducted on the same.—
Two hundred officers have lately been turned out of
the navy by an open, scandalous and criminal per
version of law; and the same operation is desired
to be perf l ined on Ttlie army—the rule of dismis
sion being to save partisans and favorites, and to
turn out good officers without regard to service or
character, whose political affinities or connection*
are not approved.
Besides, there are more than three millions of
dollars spent in internal improvements, directly in
opposition to the Democratic Platform adopted at
Cincinnati—the expenses of Congress have been
doubled—again, directly in violation of that plat
orm, which enjoined upon the Federal Govern
ment “ to enforce and practice the most rigid econ
omy,” and millions have been squadered in many
other ways by this purely Democratic Administra
tion.
Never was there a time in the history of our
Government when reform was more absolutely
needed than at present, and we believe that one
object Democratic politicians have in keeping up
the agitation on the subject of slavery, is to divert
the attention ot the people from the gross corrup
tions they have practiced in office. It is, as the
phrase is, “ a tub thrown to the whale,” and leaves
no opportunity, amid its excitement, to examine the
misconduct of the party in power. One question
is made to absorb all others, aud doubtless the
scheming demagogues chuckle heartily in private at
the ease with which the cheated people are induced
to turn from their misdeeds and to worry and fret
over an abstract and abstruse question, while they
pick their pockets.
Reform and retrenchment are needed, but can we
expect them from Mr. Buchanan’s administration
if he is elected ? Not at all; he is pledged to carry
on the Government in the same democratic manner
that Mr. Pierce has done. We have no pledges
from him, except that contained in the Cincinnati
platform, and that was violated before the ink with
which it was written was scarcely dry. The same
greedy clan of office holders and seekers will sur
round him as have been preying upon Pierce's ad
ministration, with a new reinforcement of partisans
and parasites more hungry, if possible, for spoils.—
Our only hope of retrenchment is a thorough expul
sion of the harpies to whom the people have confi
ded the disbursement of their money, and the rein
statement in their service of “the good and faithful
servant,” whom they have once tried, and whom
they found honest, capable and trust-worthy.
Elect ion Fraud*.
The enormous frauds which are, iu these latter
days, perpetrated in elections, can be distinctly
traced to the facility with which aliens are manufac
tured into citizens. Our own countrymen are not
so cheaply bought and sold, as the offscourings of
Europe which are pouring on our shores, nor, in
deed are educated and intelligent Europeans here.
But the vast majority of the immigrants are far in
ferior iu intelligence and education to our own peo
ple, utterly unable to comprehend our institutions,
and on that account, easy dupes of knavish dema
gogues. In the crowd of “ carpet bag men” (some
account of which we published yesterday) that is
pouring into Kentucky, there is no native born per
son mentioned, all are foreigners, and possibly the
majority of them knew not they were doing wrong,
but submitted implicitly lo the guidance of those
who purchased them.
Democracy lias always been able to wield this
foreign population at its will. Such, a favorite has
it been with (hat party, that a law has been actual
ly passed, giving to a foreigner, just arrived in this
country, one of the most inestimable privileges of a
freeman, while it denied the same privilege to a na
tive born citizen. Hans, just from marshy Holland,
or Patrick, fresh from Cork, can walk up to the bal
lot box and proudly deposite his vote, while he
might say to Gen. Scott, who has shed his blood for
his country, “stand aside, I am better than thou;”
the foreigner is allowed the privilege which is denied
the old soldier. We refer to that abominable provi
siou iu the Kansas bill, which gives the right of suf.
frage to aliens, while it denies it to officers and sol
diers iu the American army.
It is by means of foreign votes that the frauds iu
elections are always perpetrated. To purchase
them, are raised the vast sums of money which are
expended upon elections. If there were no foreign
vote to propitiate, the vocation of one half of the
wire-working politicians in the country would be
gone. Would that it were ; the tax payers of the
country would fare the better by it, for no one is so
foolish as to imagine that these wire -workers, from
pure patriotism, take the money out of their pockets,
and expect no return. Far from it, they expect to be
reimbursed, with usurious interest, out of the pub
lic treasury—they expect fat offices, lucrative jobs
aud profitable government contracts—contracts to
build expensive custom houses, five hundred miles
from any sea-port, to clear out the mouths of har
bors, where nothing larger than an oyster boat was
ever seen—to pull snags out of the mouths of rivers
too insignificant for a shad to swim up, to make sur
veys for Railroads through deserts where wood and
water are unknown, or over high and steep moun
tains clothed in eternal snow, such are some of the
ways in which politicians are paid for skilful man
agement of the foreign vote. Is it any wonder that
tae expenses of the government aae doubled in
four years when the services of its foreign allies are
so costly ?
These ure the least of the evils. The native
voters, finding their rightful influence entirely nul
lified by fraudulent foreign votes, cease to take iu.
terest in politics and suffer the elections to go by
default. Rows and riots multiply, quiet men are
driven from the polls, and frauds are therefore all
the more easily executed. Yearly these effects of
unprincipled pandering to foreigners are increasing
until the day is not far distant when the govern
ment of the country will be in hands of foreigners,
or of those who owe their elections to them, and, to
retain power, must be subservient to their will. It
consequently becomes those native citizens who see
these evils and desire to remedy them, to oppose
with all their power those candidates and that party
who are seeking by fraud to disfranchise the native
population, and rule the country by bribing and ca
joling the pauper and criminal refuse of European
monarchies.
Political Profligacy. —lf the Democratic par
ty had not lost the power of bushing, says the Vicks
burg (Miss.) Whig , we should expect to see the
cheek of every Southern Democrat crimson with
shame. The “National Democracy” is now openly in
thefieldat the North, as the “great anti-slavery par
ty of the country.” The following is a copy of a hand,
bill issued for a Democratic meeting in Pennsylva
nia. It Ls in character with the swindle of 1844,
when the Keystone Democracy rallied under the
flag of “Polk, Dallas, and a protective tariff.’' —

Let tliis be a grand rally of the “North Tier” in
favor of Buchanan, Breckinridge and
FREE KANSAS!
And yet, men who profess to be honest, tell us
that Democracy is National, that our only hope

Dentoc-racy*
What a strange, parti-colors thing is that call
ed Democracy! At the South, supporting Bit-
Chanan and Breckinridge, because, if elected
they will favor the extension of slavery, notwith
stand the express and positive declarations of both
of them, that they are opposed to such extension.
At the North, supporting them becapso, on the
ground of their openly expressed opinions, that they
are opposed to the extension of slavery. At the
South, declaring that the Kansas bill contains no
Squatter Sovereignty, at the North, asserting that it
contains Squatter Sovereignty, and therefore is a
better anti-slavery measure than the Wilmot Pro
viso. At the South, opposing Fillmore because,
they say, he is anti -slavery. At the North, opposing
him because he is pro-slavery. At the South, some
opposing Mr. Fili.mork because “he would do so
well, that he would throw back the prospects of dis
union,” others calling on the people to vote for Bu
chanan as the only candidate whose election can
prevent disunion! Here condemning Mr. Fi l lmoke
because, as they say, he was tardy, in signing
the Fugitive Slave law, there condemning him
because he signed that law at all, aud declaring he
was eager to sign it. Here shout ing for the intro
duction of slavery into the territories—there fiercely
opposing it. Here they support Mr. Buchanan and
the Cincinnati platform, because they profess to
oppose internal improvements by the General Go
vernment, there they go for the Democracy, be
cause they practice the most wanton expenditure for
internal improvements. Here they are anti-tariff—
there they advocate Mr. Buchanan’s election, be
cause he has always been the most ultra tariff 1 man,
so ultra as to have been a chief advocate of the
famous “ bill of abominations” of 1828. There tliey
support him because lie is in favor of the Pacific
Railroad scheme, pronounced here to be the most
outrageous scheme of robbery and corruption, as
all who have listened to Messrs. Toombs and Ste
phens can testify. But it is useless to enumerate
the different faces of this hydra-headed, parti-color
ed monster. It presents a smiling aud attractive
countenance to every section—to the Pro-slavery
and the Anti-slavery, to the Disunionist and the
Union man, to the Native and to the Alien, to the
Conservative aud to the Filibuster—a political mo
saic, here a bit of black stone, there a bit of white—
a witch’s cauldron, presided over by the venerable
wizard of Wheatland, iu which boil and bubble in
gredients as varied as Macbeth’s
“ Eye of newt ami toe of frog.
Wool of Hat and tongue of dog.
Adder’s fork and blind worm’s sting,
Lizard's leg and owlet’s wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell broth boil and bubble.”
Kailiilis —‘‘A Sound Northern Democrat*”
A perusal of the following letter, which was re
ceived on Monday by the Assistant Postmaster
General, will enable the reader to form some idea
of the nature of the “heroic exploits” of Col. Jim
Laneand his bund of hired ruffians in behalf of
“bleeding Kansas — Washington Union.
Council Grove, K. T.,Oct. 8, 185i>.
Sir:—Having been robbed and driven from my
house on the 1 tit.li ult., by a band of highway robbers
claiming to belong to “General Lane’s army of the
North,” and the post office having been robbed by
the same band, and the mail key taken, I therefore,
beg to be released of the duties of postmaster at Al
len, K. T.
I am, respectfully, sir, yourobedi »nt servant,
Charles H Withington.
To Horatio King, Esq., first Assistant Postmaster
General, Washington, 1). C.
The Southern Democracy ought not to complain
«f their brother, the Hon. Jas. H. Lane, who has
figured so extensively at the head of the Freesoil
forces in Kansas recently. He comes up to their
test, “ the support of the Kansas bill lie voted for
that bill in Congress, and is one of the immortal
“ forty-four sound Northern Democrats” upon
whom Mr. Stephens exhausted the vocabulary of
panegyric in 1855 —and he now stands side by side
with the Democrats who advocate that bill—he is
on the same platform as Douglas, Cass. Shields,
Stephens, and all others who advocate the doctrine
of Squatter Sovereignty as contained in the Kansas
bill. It was for this principle that Lane and Doug
las, aud Cass, aud Shields, and the Northern De
mocracy supported the bill—it was in their opinion
Wfetter than the Wilmot Proviso—“ the lest freesoil
measure ever passed by Congress ,” say their lrieiids.
Lane voted for the bill—Mr. Stephens says it could
not have been passed without his vote—the South
ern Democracy make it. the test, and they and
Lane are for the Kansas bill—Lank is only illustra
ting the beautiful doctrine of Squatter Sovereignty,
which the bill contains. If the Kansas bill is sound,
Lane is sound, and the Southern Democracy should
embrace rather than curse him.
The Democratic party abolished slavery in New
York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey—the Consti
tutions of lowa, Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Indi
ana, Ohio and California, which prohibit slavery,
were all framed by the Democratic party.— N. i'.
Daily News.
We would not have been surprised, says the Co
lumbus Enquirer, at finding the above paragraph
iu most of the Northern Democratic papers; but we
confess to our astonishment in seeing it in the Daily
News of the 15th insl., from which paper we copy it.
The News is the organ of the Hard Shell or Nation
al Democrats of New York, and we have never be
fore detected it playing the game of representing
the Democratic party to be the “true party of free
dom’’ in this country. This mode of electioneering
for Buchanan at the North (although countenanced
by J. C. Breckinridge himself) is disgraceful and
disreputable in view of existing circumstances; be
cause here at the South the Democratic party is
represented by Buchanan’s friends to be the pecu
liar ally and advocate of slavery. A Democratic
newspaper here would as soon think of advocating
Buchanan because of his ancient Federalism, as of
lauding him and the Democratic party because of
their “abolishing slavery,” and bringing in new free
States.
So, all the new anti-slave States owe their “free”
institutions to the Democracy—not excepting even
California , which, we have been told here at the
South, was made a non slaveholding State by Gen-
Taylor’s administration! And this is the way in
whiefi the diversified Democracy carry on their
campaigns North and South. In the North they
are the peculiar advocates and promoters of “free
dom”—have excluded slavery from all the new
States of that region; while in the South the same
party is held up as the friend and extensionist of
slave institutions, and its opponents are charged
with the sin of bringing in as “free” States the
very communities which at the North are cited as
monuments of Democratic hostility to slavery and
slave extension!
Can an intelligent people be gulled in this way 1
Dkmocragy and Abolitioism. —We have copied
articles and paragraphs says the Louisville Journal ,
from many of the Buchanan organs in the non -
slaveholding States, claiming that their party is the
genuine anti-slavery and Freesoil party. We have
copied also the handbills calling the largest and most
important of the late Buchanan meetings in Ohio
—handbills calling those meetings for the avowed
object of promoting the success of the Buchanan
ticket in Ohio as a means B of preventing “the curse
of slavery ’from being extended to Kansas or to
any Territory now free.
This morning we received the Lebanon Adverti
ser of the Sthinst., one of the most important Bu
chanan organs in Pennsylvania. Like the other
organs of the same party in that State, the Leban
on paper fought the late battle upon Freesoil ground.
Rallying its party for • last Tuesday’ select ion, it ex
claimed in capitals large enough for a double-sheet
poster :
ONI) DAY FOR
LIBERTY AND UNION
Against slavery and Disunion ! !
We can tell the people of the South, that,
wherever the Democracy of the North have thought
that anything could be made by abolitionism, they
have outstripped the Black Republicans in loud
professions of ultra-abolitionism—even stigmatizing
the Black Republicans as too indulgent to slave
ry and therefore unworthy to be trusted by the peo
ple.
Vote of Philadelphia. —Fuller returns of the
late election in Philadelphia have swelled the vote
to over sixty-nine thousand , and it is supposed the
official vote will reach seventy thousand , which is
tiftgeen thousand more than the heavy vote polled at
the May election. Who doubts the manner in
which a Democratic majority in Pennsylvania is
made to appear.
Several Northern Journals, says the Charleston
Mercury , on the strength of telegraphic despatches,
congratulate themselves upon the result of the Con
gressional election in Charleston District, as proof
that a Union sentiment is predominant here. They
never were more mistaken. The three candidates
for Congress occupied essentially the same ground,
and they were all Dis unionists.
Mr. Miles was elected Mayor of Charleston as
the candidate of the opponents of the Know Noth
ing party. He is elected to Congress as the Repre
sentative of Southern Rights; and no man in our
whole community is more decided in his convictions
tbat the establishment of a Northern predominance
in the Federal Union would and should lead to a
separation of the States.
Massachusetts Politics.— The state of politics
in Massachusetts may bo inferred from the tact that
the Whigs and Fillmore men of the fifth district met
in separate conventions on Thursday and nomina
ted the Hon. Win. Appleton as a canditate for Re
presentative to Congress. The Democratic con
vention for the district met in the afternoon and
pi obably ratified the nomination. The contest will
therefore be between Mr. Burlingame and Mr. Ap
pleton.
A Buchanan Democrat. —Among the members
of Congress re-nominated and re-elected by the De
mocrats in Pennsylvania, is the Hon. John Hick
man, who, so far as his votes in the present Congress
indicate, is a thorough going Republican. He vo
ted with that party persistently on every important
test of strength throughout the 'session.
The Fillmore citizens of Norfolk, Va., held a
meeting r on Thursday night, and denounced the
charge put forth by the Argnt of that city that they
had erected the “ Fremont pole ’’ which recently
caused the disturbance there, as false and incendia
ry. The proceedings of the meeting confirm the
previous statement the pole was raised by a few per
sons of both political parties in a spirit of merri-
Fillmoke in Illnois. —Extract from a business
letter written to a gentleman in Louisville by a
friend of intelligence and sagacity, dated Spring
field, Illinois, Oct. 11,1856 :
Yesterday we had a grand demonstration for Fill
more and Donelaon, the largest procession seen here
since 1840. The old Whigs are waking up ana
crawling out of their holes like snakes on a hot sum
mer’s day. If the same enthusiasm preva
over the Union that is getting up here, the election
of Fillmore by the people is certain-
Snow.— The Lynchburg Virginian states that
snow fell in that city through the whole of Tuesday
night 14th inst., and had it not been for previous
rains, the ground would have been covered to the
depth of several inches. As it was the tops of the
houses received a white coating.
Fillmore Meeting.
A large and most enthusiastic meeting of the
friends of Fillmore assembled at the City Hall on
Saturday night, to heara little plain talk from Mesere
Hill and Wright. Though much fatigued with
long and arduous seivioe in the good cause, they
entertained their audience for nearly three hours,
and the Fillmore tire was raised into a (lame by
their eloquence. Mr. Wricht, being indisposed,
( ou.d not comply with the demands of the crowd to
give ihem a regular speech, much to the disappoint
ment of (hose who had never heard him, but in the
little he said they were agreeably disappointed—for
instead of the mere fun and frolic of whksh it bad
been said his speeches mostly consisted, they were
convinced that lie can at Mill use convincing argu
ment and clinch it with apt and witty illustra
tions.
The American party of Georgia have been regret
ting throughout this canvass that they hail so lew
speakers ; but their regrots were uucalled for. Our
speakers, though few in numbers, are powerful in
every other respect, especially in the justice of
1 heir cause ; and could they have visited all parts
of the State, we should have no doubt that Georgia
would roll up an old fashioned Harrison majority
for Fillmore. For the firm stand the American
party has made in this canvass, and for the bright
hopes we have of the State, much is due to the no
bio And untiring efforts of Mr. Hill.
All honor to “glprious Ben !” Where the fight
has raged fiercest—where the battle has been moat
desperate—through the crowd and the melee of
combatants, our noble champion has borne aloft and
triumphant the Fili.mork banner! Not in his
hands has it been stained by defeat. High above
the clamor and the din of the contest, his clarion
voice has rang out for Fillmore and the Union. —
Around him the true friends of the country, not dis
pirited or dismayed by desertions, have rallied and
renewed the contest, as the soldiers of H arry of
Navarre, in battle, were wont to rally around his
white plume. From his spotless shield the blows of
our most powerful foes have glanced harmless,
while tli* arrows of his eloquence have pierced eve
ry joint of their armor, and they have writhed aud
hrunk away before his irresistible and incessant at
t ick:. All honor to the dauntless Hill, and to his
few but gallant comrades!
Their labors are nearly over; but whether defeat
ed or victorious, they have fixed themselves im
moveably in the hearts of the American party, ami
a reward will be theirs a hundred fold more precious
than all the honors of party success or the emolu
ments of office—the consciousness of having de
served well of their country. All Americans and
Union men owe them a debt of gratitude which
they c;. n. beet repay by exerting for the next few days
one tenth of the activity which their champions have
displayed in their behalf through many weeks.
The Democratic Platform*
When we look over the record of Mr. Buchan
an’s long political life,says the American Democrat ,
we lose all surprise at his having chosed to hide
liimself in the bowels of the platform. That conve
nient lurking place, indeed when it hides him, hides
a multitude of sins. lie wishes people to forget all
the past occurrences of his life, aud whenever he is
called to account for any of them, his friends reply,
“look at the platform.” If he is denounced as an
inveterate wool dyed Federalist of the old school,
who denounced the war of 1812, and the adminis
tration of that pure republican patriot, James Mad
ison, “look at the platform,” say his admirers. If
he is charged with having denounced James Madi
son as a tool of Bonaparte, and the war of 1812 os
an inhuman, unrighteous device of that President to
prolong his own power, “look at the platform.” If
lie is overhauled for denouncing foreign interfe
rence, “look at the platform.” If his conduct at
the Lancaster meeting in 18U), and his signing an
address calling upon the representatives of Penn
sylvania to vote iu favor of the Missouri restriction,
is alluded to, “look at the platform.” If he is re
proached with the vile conspiracy to destroy tin*
reputation of llenry Clay, and with having inven
ted the “bargain, intrigue aud corruption” villainy,
“look afe the platform.” If his presentation of the
Cain meeting petition for the abolition of slavery iu
the District of Columbia, aud his speech and vote
thereon, be brought up in judgment against him,
“look at the platform.” If his vote against the res
olution of Mr. Rives, declaring that slavery agita
tion ought to cease, be urged as an objection to his
soundness, “look at tho platform.” If his declara
tion in 1814, when he said that the admission of
Texas would eventually make free Slates of Mary
land, Virgiuia. Kentucky, and Missouri, and he
therefore voted for it on that account, is spoken of,
“look at the platform.” When his reasons for vo
ting for tho compromise measures of 1850, viz : that
they would secure all Nortli of the line as free terri
tory, while the Mexican population would not allow
it to exist South of it, “look at the platform.” When
his Sanford letter, in which he explicitly says that
Congress has legislative power over the subject of
slavery in the District is brought up against him,
still the cry is, “look at the platform.” When the
doctrine of squatter sovereignty, upon his accept
ance of the nomination, is boldly avowed, and when
men become indignant at his gross tergiversation,
evidently for u selnsli purpose, we meet the same
parrot cry at every corner of the street, “look at t! e
platform.”
And it is by such a device »s this that the candi
date of the Democratic party hopes to cover up his
treachery, and baffle alike pursuit, and inquiry.—
His antecedents must not be inquired into. He
cannot bear scrutiny. His friends are afraid of it,
and so is he. The platform, and the platform alone
ia the gauge of his opinions He is the platform
or rather the platform is lie. It must be forgotten
that he has been ou all sides of all questions, and
steady in favor of none. We rather think the
people will have something to say in this matter.
They will not carry a pig in a poke, or vote for
a candidate hid in a platform. He must come
out and show himself. He must shoulder liis own
responsibilities.* He cannot make a scape-goat, of
the platform to carry off his sins into the wilderness,
lie must stand under them hims- ls, or sink beneath
them.

The Boston Liberator, Garrison's paper, says the
Black “Republican" Fremont, party is molding pub
lic sentiment in the right direction lor the specific
work the Abolitionists are striving to accomplish,
namely, “The dissolution of the Union and the abo
lition of slavely throughout the land. 1 ’ Garrison •
says if he had a million of votes, he would give them
for Fremont.— N. Y. News.
And the leaders of the Buchanan party of the
South are playing inty Garrison's hand ; they too
desire the dissolution of the* Union, but for the pre
servation of slavery. “Who shall decide when doc
tors disagree ?" There is one set of disuriionists
raying that disumion will result in the aboltion of
slavery, and here is another, who say the institution
caunot be preserved, except by disunion ! When
so many learned Thebans differ so much i i opinion f
prudent people think it best to have nothing to do
with either, but to take the safe middle course, and
let things remain as they are.
Wiiy dont they speak out. —Before the late
elections the Democratic papers were urging the
people to vote for BucHanan to prevent the elec
tion of Fremont. They now claim that Pennsyl
vania and Indiana, are#«rcto cast their electoral
votes for Buchanan— if so Fremont is out of the
light altogether. Why have they not the candor to
• ell their readers so? Do they still wish to keep
the Wolly Horse running, as a bug-bear to frighten
the people from choosing the best man of the only
two candidates who stands any chance of being
elected ?
Why Don’t he Speak Our.—The leading Demo
crats at the North are advocating the cause of
Buchanan on the ground of his Squatter Sovereign
ty doctrine. Now, if Mr. Buchanan entertains no
such opinion, why don’t lie speak out 1 The South
ern Democrats say one thing of his letter of accept
ance, and the Northern Democrats swear another—
the explanations are the breadth of the poles asun
der—antipodes to each other. Now does not every
principle of patriotism and honor require that Mr.
Buchanan should burst through the platfonn that
holds his tongue, and speak out ?
Making Votes in New York. —The National
Intelligencer's correspondent thus-chronicles the
voters made in that city in making up to Oct. 22.
It is certainly worthy of reflection.
It is stated that since the first of last mouth there
have been as many as fifteen thousand foreigners
admitted lo the priviliges of citizenship in the Su
perior and Common Pleas Courts of this city, and
the pressure is now so great that it is calculated the
number will lie swelled to some twenty thousaud by
the twenty-fifth instant, which is the last day on
which an alien can complete his title to a vote.
Who are the Disumonists ?—John Slidell,
Senator from Louisiana, has written aletter, in which
is an expression which deserves .to be remembered
by those who are going to vote for Buchanan to
preserve (he Union. “Four years existeuce of this
Union,”says he, “is all that Mr. Buchanan’s ad
ministration can give." Mr. Slidell is chief mini
1 ager of the Buchanan party, tbeoue who plans the
muuieuvers, and lie is more likely than any one
else to “know the ropes.” The truth is that the lead
-1 ere of the Buchanan party “are pledged to the lips
for disunion,” while there is not a man, North oi
South, ’belonging to the Fillmore party not an
American newspaper—not an American speaker,
who has said the first word in favor of disunion.—
Union men should study these facts.
That other Fremont, who lives in Wi lining
'on, N T . C\,has come out with a declaration, in which
he indignantly denies that he resembles the, woolly
horse Fremont in any pal tieulnr. He is an Epis
copalian, While John C. is a Catholic-ha is six feet
in height, while Johnnv is but five feet and some
thin- over— he parts his hair on one side, while
Johnny parts his in the middle — he is fat, while
John is Jean, and finally, be is of fair complexion,
while JoHNNV Is as dark as might be expected from
jjg principles. This “ two Fremont'' dodge is hav
ing good effect upon the two parties, they cannot
quarrel much with each other while both join in uu
extinguishable laughter at this clumsy manoeuvre ot
the Fhemonters to impose upon the people.
How they Tapered off. —The most moderate
of the Democrats at first claimed Pennsylvania by
15,000 majority, then they modestly reduced it to
10,000. Since the election they have been perfectly
sure of from 5 to 0000,H>ut all they have to ( row over
now is, the beggarly majority of 2,774 1 tween C«
nal Commissioners—that’s a falling ok
