O'Brien waa aeon to ride off in the direction of
Kilkimnv. According to the most authentic ac
counts the police have donn more execution than
was at Aral supposed. Out of eleven,penons
known to have been lulled on the spot, or very se
riously wnnnded, six havo alnco died, and the rest
are ntrt expected to survive. Many more are hurt,
and it la Impossible lo ascertain exactly the extent
of the loot, at the insurgents, who were principally
colliers out of work, withdrew their comrades
when they fell, and coocoaled the bodies of the
dead. When (ha last accounts left a military force
of 16000 strong was concentrated In (lie vicinity,
under the command of General M'Donald, wlmao
arrangements for koeping up a communication
with the different military stations in the neigbor-
hood were such aa effectually to crush any out
break. All the lines of road leading from Inn dis
trict were protected by strong outposts; and (he

mllingarry. The officers and men Were billottm)
la great numbers on the inhabitants. Hoveral ar
rests had boon made of persons implicated in the
fight, or who had been board using seditious lan
guage. There waa no apprehension of further
outbreak.
The Repeal clubs in Belfast havo all nominally
been dissolved, but wbethet their member* have ac-
tually given up their treasonable plottings and
punning* is a different matter. There is no
chance now of any serious attempt at an outbreak

fbrmed political oircles which no hoaeat man ought ever
to learn, and which ii b quite probable he knows noth
ing about He may not, like the present incumbent,
have the happy faculty uf involving hb country in
wasteful and anneeesmry wars by a systematic decep
tion oo friends and foes; he may not, like hb oppoaent,
possess that easy political virtue that accommodates
its possessor to whatever line of conduct b roost likely to
lead to success. These things hb friends have never
claimed for him. These are political tricks that the
old hero has never studied. Honest, apright, and pa
triotic, he has given hb time and talents to the duties
of hb respective stations, without studying to under
stand the low, dirty ways by which men of leas exalted
uatnrea manage to worm their way to power.
Now we desire to oak the voters of thb country, if
it b an objection to the old patriot that bo b not hack
neyed in the school where all manner of villainy is
taught and practiced? Waahingtoa was not a poli
tician. He had never graduated in the school where
our oppopenls ssy all presidential candidates should
take their degrees. He. Kke Taylor, hod spent a large
part of hb life in the tented held, and yet, when the
voice of hb countrymen called him to the presidency,
country, and consequently it was to the iuterest of hb
hearers to adopt the system he was urging—close up
the hoot shops of the United States, aud take a trip to
the roetropolb of France for the “outside covering” of
every man’a “ lower extremities.” Against a doctriuo
so calculated to impoverish a large and respectable class
of the working men of thb country, so directly calcu
lated to render us subservient to tho workshops of Eu
rope, audio positively at war with every genuine sen
timent of iiutional independence, we thought it right
teenier an early protest. If vthsis h ive seized upon
the “outward covering” tmd turned iu to ridicule the
shining ezemplifleatiou of the truth of the position made
by Judge Wellborn, it has been no fault of ours.—
Neither he or hb supporters shall escape from the
responsibility of hb anti-American doctrine, by charg
ing on us a disposition to tramult hb “ lower extremi-
I every civil qualification l
•ary to the discharge of the duties of that high office.
If Washington were uow alive, with no more experi
ence in the civil affairs of government than he pos
sessed when first elected President, would our opponents
support Cass agniust him ? Surely they would, il they
are sincere in tlrair objection to Gen. Taylor. Cass,
they say, is a politician of loug standing, has filled
many offices, knows all about the little tricks of party,
and ran and of course according to their logic would
manage the affairs of tlie country with great prudence.
In these thing* ho has the advantage of Taylor and
would if he were now living, have the udvautage of
Washington ; of course thtn, in the opinion of our op
ponents, ho would be preferred to either of them.
Wimliington would bo lost in the comparison.

office of Prraident, and will come into U, if elected, as

foolish enough to give him. Calhoun stands in the
proper path ion to upbraid the in grots for bb base ia-

to the reprobation of every Southern friend of Texas

From a uotics iu the MiiculUny, we are plcoerd
to loam that them will be a Mass Mektino of the
friendi of Gkn. TAYLOR, at Atlanta,ou tho 14fA
day of SepUmior. The Committee of Invitation
have solicited the attendance of their fellow-citizena of

integrity, fidelity and capacity, aa emential elements of
a great National Administration. Thb invitation iu-
eludes Iho whole of the Whig party, and a large portion
of the sovereign people who have heretofore acted with
the Democracy.
Our frionda of Atlanta have not boon able to take
advantage of au “ Agricultural Fair,” to cheat the
country with the appearance of a great political gath
ering ; but they hope and ex|>oct to greet the friends of
old Zack, in thouoando, from Trnnkmrr, Alabama,

titatea, dbtiuguiahed public speakers will bo pieoeiit,

Jimmy Jones will have so ementially used up the no

that our niechuuica here should be com|M*iled lo close
their shops aud lot France furnish the nation with all
that was required. Now, this argument is alike ap
plicable to all the mechanical industry of the United
Staten. It may be that in Parb the people have to
work for leas than b sufficient to support human life ;
the cabinet maker, the sadlur, the tailor, the black
smith, the jeweller, the carpenter, the wheel-right, the
carriage muker, iu short, every other mechanic might
furnish his flimscy jewgaws, in the way of hb trade,
at prices that might perish out our own iudustrious citi
zens. Now, wu desire to be informed, if Judge Wal-
born, as the representative of Georgia, would sunctioii
a system calculated to destroy the industry of his own
oouulry, break up aud impoverish the mechanics of
hb own city, and Hood the land with the fliinsoy man-
ofscturaa of Parb 7 Thb would be the inevitable
result of that system ao impressively urged in the bool
case. Judge Wellborn has travelled in Europe, and
in looking on the wretched condition of the working
Kieu there, may have returned horns with more sym
pathy for their condition than he feels for hb own
couutrymcn. If so, we candidly confess that we do
not agree with him in the application of a compassion
ao strangely misplaced.
But it b probable that Parb haa changed since the
Judge visited that city of cheap labor and fiue hoots, lie
was there under the reign of that immaculate King and
uncorruptcd Court ao highly eulogised by Gen. Cass.
Brace then there has been au overturning of thrones,
uad a general stain|iede of the regal household. Re

countless hosts of the public enemy abroad. Can his

to any circumstances that warrants the conclusion that
he b an inferior maul Not one. And yet it b
urged that ho b unfit for ths Presidency because hb
life has uot been speut n the dona of iniquity where poli
ticians cougrrgate to further their selfish ends aud plun
der their snffiiering country. Ill the modern accept

The time b rapidly approaching when the people

Uieir cotton is good, others not so good,otherr
again very sorry; some crops have almost beet
ruined by the rust. I have seen many fields which
two months past looked promising for a largq
yield, I am cdtifident will not now make exceeding
two hundred lbs. per acre; some of my neighbon
have turned out portions of their cotton to the cat

Exfrctrd Meeting.—We leant that Messrs.

of the Democratic party to meet Messrs. Colquitt

discussion. These gentlemen are justly regarded as
the ablest stump speakers of their respective parties,
and wiH doubtless do ample justice to themselves, the
occasion, aud the principles of their friends. Ordinari
ly ouch discussions may result in but little good, from
the fact, tkat the speakers are a little weaker in the
upper story than their hearers; but this ooutest, if con
ducted in n proper spirit, must, from the ability of the
combatants, fling much light on tho men and measures
no whom, sod about which, the people are somewhat
divided. Tha powers of the Senator and the ex-8ea-

with hia bottle* of Mexican savage*, "Old Rough

aay*:
“ Thia may be the last communication you will
receive from me; I have been stripped by thewor-
uniment of regular troops, and reduced in volun

The Capitol is deserted, at Inst. Only one soli-

not com inred. All is a* quiet at a Sunday morn

During tlie session million* of public documents
and of |»liilcal speeches, hove been folded in the
subterraneoJs rooms of the capitol. It is esti

On Saturday night basket* of champagne were
taken into the room of the Secretary of the Senate.
It was not put there to throw stones at. Judging
from what took place, subsequently, it was devot

The bill from the Senate, organizing a Board
of Commissioners to examine claims under toe
treaty with Mexico, wa* brought to in the llonse
ou Saturday. At night it wa* referred jo tho
Committee on Foreign Affair*, and in their room
it now stick*, in a pigeon-hole. The claimants
and claim agent* are highly incctwed. They say
that the government wants to make ajiotoer
a battle field in Mexico. The warning waa not r I X

waa the first man in Georgia to unfurl hia coun

which had been brought into the field, mainly
through hit exertion* marched for Mexico, and
Judge Wellborn sailed for Europe.
Twelve month*' arduous service having been

to serve hia country at the head of his regiment
