DEMOCRATIC MEETING.
A Meeting of the Buchanan
and Breckinridge Association will
be held at St. Andrews Hall,
on Friday Evening, the 22d Inst.,
at 8 o’clock, F. M.
Hon. T. M. Forman, Elector
for the 1st District, Thomas E.
LIoyd f and Joseph Ganabl, Esq'rs.,
will address the meeting,
“At present the prospect U that the conso-
vativo Whig vote will be divided as to detest
a popular election oud to throw the decision
upon the House of Representatives—ut all times
an event to be deprecated,but at this periud pecu
cu!iariy*peruictuus and dangerous,aud tincuteu-
lug the rudest * hock to our system. What the
result will be I will uot venture the least to pre
dict, but 1 will say that I do not see the least
probability of Mr. Fillmore’s election by the
Uoase of Representatives. I thiuk, therefore,
it would be the part of wisdom aud patriotism
in the Wkigs(uy which I mean those who hare
atlilated with no other party) to throto their
vote for Buchanan as the strongest of the ran*
didatet, vppoted the Northern sectiontl par-
ty-"
See too how thoroughly demented the other
Maryland Senutor, Pratt, has become. Says
this dbtinguisbad Whig:
“Time, 1 think, will develop tho fact, that
Messrs. Fillmore and Douelsun will be leit with
out an electoral ticket in most of the free States
and it is nut at any rate the deliberate conviction
of my judgment that they will sot cabby a
SINGLE NON SLAVKllULDlNG STATE IN THE UN
ION. If 1 am right, or even approximate the
truth in the view 1 have taken, it will neces
sarily follow that any conservative vote for the
Araericon nominees North will bo equivalent
to a voto for Mr. Fremont, as it will be a vote
taken from Mr. Buchanan his only real com
petitor.
As for Rnfus Choate, though not much be
yond the prime of life, he is certainly in his
dotage. Contrast the following language of
this notorious ignoramut with what we daily
hear from the tcite men of the South !
the force of clreumsUnces induces us to pub
lish. By a lack of precaution in our reporter
some days back, a report of tho investigation
of tbc burning of the St. Johni was made in
our paper which reflected ou the character of
Mr. DaCoita. Tho information upon which
that report was based wan derived from Ser
geant Wilson, of tho Mounted Police.
After the city Council of Jacksonville had
passed resolutions, exonerating Mr. DaCosta
from the charges made against him, Mr. Wilson
was allowed through our columns to justify
himself in the matter. In doing so, he indulg
ed himself in considerable, licence with Mr.
PaCostVs fair fame. We therefore feel obliged
to allow the piece to go in as an advertisement,
under the existing circumstances. In doing so,
we say dlstirctly that we do uot. like our
columns to be defaced by such personalities,
when they can be conveyed iu a more direct,
and effective ma nner to the party to be assail
ed.
Practically too, the contest in my judgment
is between Mr. Buchanan and Cot. Fremont.
In ihete circumttancet I rote for Mr. Buchan
an. He hat large experience in public affairs;
hit commanding capacity it universally acknow
ledged; his hfe is without a stain. I am con
strained to add that he seems at this moment,
by the concurrence of circumstances, more com
pletely than any other, to represent that senti-

An English View or Fremont.
An able historical sketch of the American
Compromises contributed to The London Dai
ly Newt by Harriet Martiueau, has recently
been reprinted in a pampUlet form, and pre-
-sents succinct and lucid view of the questions
at issue in the pending-election. Of Col Fremont
the writer remarks:
if it were not a great mistake to look to any
political choice tor redemption iu such a crisis
as the present, the probable return of Colonel
Fremont as President, aud Mr. Dayton as Vice-
President, would seem to open u bright pros
pect. Colonel Fremont would almost seem to
have been created for the difficulty. He iau
Southern mun by birto—was educated in
South Carolina, where and, und iu Virgiuiu, be
passed a youth aud early mapkuud of vigorous
study, first and then of hurnole and heroic la
bor (as a teacher of mathematics), for the sake
of hht widowed mother aud her children.
He is a classical scholar of no ordinary attain
ments ; bis surveying achievements attest his
mathematical accomplishments. His virtuous
life and retined mauuers have attached every
body to him wherever he went. Thus he is—
what the South proteases to make a point of—
g gentleman. His professional occupations,and
his toavels and adventures, have kept him out
of the field of politics and the cntauglements
of party; while his relations with the Indians,
ana his connection with California, have proven
hia administrative ability to be very great. ^His
wide experience has made- him a thorough
going Frce&oiler; and to Him the Union owes
free California,while to him California owes her
^L&emoit military officials, he is more paci
fically inclinedthan civilians often are, and than
President Pierce has shown himself to be. On
this ground also the South may probably in
cline to him. The North Is enthusiastic even
beyond its wont in this contest, and grave
men declare, that since the time of Washing
ton, no such demonstration has been witnessed
in the Eastern States as the Convention ut
Philadelphia for the nomination of Fremont
and Dayton.
We were once in company with two gentle
men at rapper, one an American ,the other a
German.
Oor American friend asked the German what
WU the seaport of Switzerland. To which the re.
ply waa that there was none. The foreign gen*
tleman, turning round, said in German, with
the most ludicrous expression of countenance,
“He know* something.” So we will have to
say of the London Daily Netos, when it speaks
of the rapport which Fremont will get at tho
Booth.
A Powibful Fire Engine.—Messrs. Wm 1
Jeffers A and Co., Pawtucket, R. I., have late
ly built a fire engine for the Common Council
of Adrian City, Mich. The engino is in pos
session of Alert Engino Co., No. 1., of that
city. It is of tho piano style, 10-inch cylinders
with changeable stroke of five to nine inches.
At a recent trial of tho machine, it threw
5*8 in. streams, simultaucously, 131 feet high.
One, inch and and a quarter stream, was
thrown US feet. One, inch and a half stream
waa thrown nearly US feet. One, inch and an
eighth itream, was thrown 16G feet horizon
tally. One, inch and on eighth stream, was
thrown 303 feet horizontally. One inch stream
WM thrown 316 feet 6 inches horizontally.
A Free Soli Romance.
Bigelow, biographer of Fremont, gives the
following exquisito piece of romance:
Anne Beverley (Col. Fremont’s mother) was
but six months old, when her father died. * *
Being the youngest, she was most defenceless
iu the hands of Mr. Cary, (her guardian,) and
insteud of being an heiress, she found herself,
at an early age. almost dispossessed of a large
proportion of the ample heritage which had
been left her. When she had reached the age
of seventeen, her sister, Mrs. Lowry, desiring
to provide for her against what, in those days,
and in that circle, was deemed the greatest of
all calamities, poverty, arranged a marriage for
her with Maj. Pryor, also of Glouchester county
who was very rich and very gouty, sixty two
years of age; just forty-five years her senior.
"Aside from the fatal disparity of years, Ma
jor Pryor lacked refinement and sensibility,
and was in every respect repulsive to the young
creature who was sacrificed to him. Anne re
sisted the importunities of her sister os long
as she could, but finally overcome by a sense o f
her hogielesa and dependent condition, which
were constantly pressed upon her considera
tion, the despairing orphan yielded to her ven
erable suitor, and became Mrs. Major Pryor.
Marriage on'y increased her regret lor the sa
crifice to which Hhe had submitted. She be
came melancholy; shunned the gay society
and habits of life to which her husband was
addicted, and thus dragged out twelve long
years of wedded misery. By this time, os they
were childless, both had become convinced that
the happiness of neither would be promoted by
continuing to live longer together, and they
separated. As both had influential friends
the legislature of the State, which happened to
bo in session, promptly sanctioned their sepa
ration, by passing an act of divorce. Not long
after, both married again, Mrs. Pryor to Mr.
Fremont, aud Major Pryor, in the 76th year of
his age, to his housekeeper.”
The above (says the Richmond Dispatch,
reads like a novel. It is quite destitute of such
a prosaic element as tact. The legislature of
Virginia never sanctioned the separation of
Mr. and Mrs. Pryor, by passing an act of di
vorce. We have examiued the acts of Assem
bly from 1310 to 1817, (Fremont was born, ac
cording to his biographer, 21st January, 1813,)
and in all that time, there were but two divor
ces grunted, ueither of which was Mr. and Mrs.
Pryor.
We know nothing of the circumstances of
their marriage. We never heard that the old
gentleman was rich, or gouty. He kept a sort of
pleusure garden for public entertainment,
which Is not consistent with the idea of being
a nabob. In short, we know the divorce part
of the above story is untrue, and we don t be
lieve one word of the remainder of it. We only
allude to the subject to “vindicate the truth of
history,” and do justice to the State and to
individuals, unjustly assailed in the above para
graph.
American Gubernatorial Candidate of
Florida and Sir. Fillmore.
The Tulluhassce Floridian, in giving an ac
count of a political discussion at Centrcville
Florida, between Judgfr Hawkins and Dr. La
mar ou the one side, und Dr. Walker, Esq., the
American candidate for Governor, on the other
says:
A Gif at Gun*—A wrought-iron cannon hr •
bem manufactured In Ltveipool, Eng., which
weight 33 tone, and Bends a ball of 300 pound*
weight ft dUtence of 4 miles.
Tho Hon. D. S. Walker was hotly pursued by
the. chevaliers of democracy, and placed hors
de combat by the extorted confesson, that be
(Mr. Walker) and Mr. Fillmore were wide upart
in their opinions with reference to the repeal
of the Missouri compromise, and the enactment
of the Kuusas bill—the former approving as a
blessing, and the Utter coudemiug as a curse,
the accomplishment of those patriotic measures.
It has not escaped the memories of Mr. Wal
ker’s political iricndsand foes, that ou a certain
occasion in this city, he declared that Air. Fill
more was the author of the principle of nonin
tervention os embraced in the Kaunas hill, and
actually scouted the democratic idea that the
'•model President” would ever condemn the
Kansas legislation much less favor its repeal
and the consequent restoration of tho Atissouri
compromise.
The recent revelations, however, mado at
Rochester and other places in New York, we
are happy to learn, nave uot. beeu more as
tounding to us than convincing to Air. Walker
and his political friends, that Mr. Fillmore has
been playing tho part of a political trickster,
and has no claim whatever to that elevated po
tation which has been so generously assigned
him by his Southern friends.
Mr. Walker also admitted that Mr. Fillmore,
while in Congress, never voted with the South
upon questions involving her peculiar interests.
Then think of the temerity of Mr. Walker aud
bis friends, os displayed in theefiort to promote
a man who has once basely deceived them, and
only desires another opportunity to renew bis
aggressions upon thoBouth.

this water on a field of flvo acres, which pro

tho assistance of any other manure. This water
on being annalysed, was found, moreover, to
contain azote and hydrogen. A report of this

Steamboat racing bos been carried on in the

an extent and so recklessly, as to endanger the
lives of the passengers. Some of the officers
of the law have therefore, made a complaint
against the captains of the boats and they have
both been held to ball to answer. The facts,
as stated of them, would indicate that som-

their rerpective boats, entered into the feeliug

[COMMUNICATED.]
Jacksonville, Fla., i
Aug. 18th, 1856. f
To the Editors of the Georgian 4* Jouraal:
Gentlemen.—In your israe of the 14th inst.,
I notice a communication from Daniel Stew
art Wilson,.which contains so many untruths,
that I am constrained in justice to myself, to
notice it through the same channel. I do not
intend to occupy your columns further than to
reply. If then, Mr. Sergeant Wilson feels him
self further agrieved, he may take such other
and farther steps for redress as to him inay
seem meet.
I will first reply to'the questions asked, and
then endeavor to show that either Mr. Sergeant
Wilson has grossly lied or wilfully perverted
the truth.
In answer to the first question, I have to say,
that I was removed; and for the cause of that
removal, I most respectfully refer to the reso
lution of Council removing me.
To the second question I answer, that at the
instance of Mr. Sergeant Wilson, my house was
searched; and if I may be allowed to give a se
cond hand version of the matter, or in other
words, to speak from Information of others.
I will say that I am informed that Mr. Ser
geant Wilson raed out the warrant to search
my premises upon the testimony of a negro,
and that negro not upon oath.
Now, I have heard it said that those who
talk after negroes are no better than negroes
themselves. The reason, then, for the search
is irresistable. That negro told Mr. Sergeant
Wilson that he would find certain goods, wares
and merchandize, upon my premises, and forth*
with Mr. Sergeant Wilson swear* to it, and a
warrant is issued, and a search is had.
When Mr. Sergeant Wilson says I stepped up
behind and struck him, he is guilty of abase
and unmitigated falsehood. He knows it to be
false, and knows that he tells a falsehood when
he utters it. I struck him in the face, not by
any means a “deadly blow,” uulcss his pate is
softer than the generality of men of his
weight and size. This, then, I characterize os
lie No. 1.
He says I took refuge “under the presence of
a frightened family.” This 1 pronounce most
absolutely and unqualifiedly false—and charac
terize it as "lie No. 2. ”
Again—when he says that I was unable to
pay my fine, he is guilty of further falsehood]
os at that dute I bad a deposite to my credit
with tho town treasury, an amount more than
sufficient to pay my fine and costs. This, then*
I characterize as "lie No. 3.”
Lastly Mr. Sergeant Wilson sees proper to
add, that the gentlemen" whom he quotes aa
an authority for bis falsehoods was a member
of the Town council and was acting as Intcn-
dant Pro tern when DaCosta was removed.
It is a very good rule, I have always under
stood, to reject the testimony of a witness* en
tirely when his testimony clearly shows that
a part is false, although there may be a shadow
of truth pervading the statements- I have no
doubt that some one of the Council told Mr
Sergeant Wilson something ; but I most posi
tively deny that any member of the Council
told him any such story as he seta forth, and so
far ns any member of the Council acting as In
tendant’s protempore at the time of my re-
moval. The Intendant himself was present
and handed me the notice of my removal in
person. This assertion then roust show the fate
or the preceding, and I therefore do not hesi
tate tt> pronounco the whole statement made by
him as a base tissue of falsehoods without any
foundation whatever in truth. With these re*
marks, I leave Mr. Sergeant Wilson to wear the
brand I have placed upon bis brow;
Yours, &c.
Aaron W. DaCosta.

There will be a political meeting held at tho
Ogeecbee Mills, on Friday the 22 inst., and we
exnect on that day, that And. H. H. Dawson,
wifi be present, aud we will be glad if the
Democratic party would bring forth some poli
tician to arguo the politics of the day, and not
say that we gave them no chance.
This the 14th Aug. 185G.
Messrs. Editors :—l came across the above
notice at the fifty mile station, and thought
that you would like to give public notice of
the meeting. Thisconnty is nearly equally divid
ed, and we expect a bard fight in October next;
should any good Democrat think proper to
come up, there will be a conveyance to’carry
him to the meeting.

A Damning Deed.—We are informed that
the Rev. . of Chicago, has re ceived from
a correspondent iu Kansas, tho full particulars
of oue of the most fiendish outrages which are
the natural results of the repeal of
the sacred compact ot 1820. He will then de
tail them all be lore his congregation next
Sabbath, or the first opportunity. We are only
permitted to simply state, that a few days since
a number of the Missouri Ruffians entered the
house of a free State mao, residiug on Potta
wattamie Creek, aud stole two hogs. Pierce,
Douglas and Buchanan stood by with their

The Democratic Party and Internal Im.
provcuieut*.
It is a common trick of the opponents of the
Democratic party to herald with great rejoicing
auy manly out-spokeu dillereuse of opinion iu
that party touching auy important measure of
public policy. We have an example of this in
the huzzahs made over the protest of Senator
Toombs and other Democrats against some of
the recent appropriations of the public rauuey
to internal improvements. A wonderful discov
ery is made—Senator Toombs aud that
thoroughly sound aud reliable orgau of the
State Rights Democracy of the South, the
Charleston Mercury, difierfrom Gen. Cass aud
other distinguished democrats on the subject of
internal improvements by the general govern
ment ! The wiseacres, who swell this chorus
of rejoicing, cannot understand how men of the
same political party can be so conscientious
and faithful, as to show their opponents that
there is any difference of opinion among them.
Of course we do not expect our oppoueu to
understand this, or, if they did, that they
should have the manliness aud candor to say so.
The Federal party, the IVhigparty, the Know-
Nothing party, the Amaricm party, every par-*
ty that has risen, siuce the iormution ot thu Con
stitution, in opposition to the Democraiic party
have been idolaters of jpen. Their cordiual
principle has been opposition to the Democracy;
but that they have never had any vital princi-
pne of their own is shown by the fact that their
profession of faith, like their names, has chang
ed with the changing emergencies of the time.
Every man, who has read the history of parties
in this country, kuows that the Democratic
party is the ouly oue that has a definite set of
principles—a well defined theory to the prac
tical measures of administration. Is necessari
ly a matter of difficulty, and often of honest
doubt. It is the same in nil the practical af
fairs of life.
The code of ethics is essentially tbc same
everywhere among Christian people, yet cases
are perpetually arising upon which cou-sciene
tious men differ, aud will continue to differ, as-
to practical application of the principles of
morality. The Democracy value personal in
dependence and freedom of upiuiou too highly
to interdict its expression among themselves
within the bounds of reason aud expediency,
As a party, it is too strong to require of its
members that vain and empty show of uni
formity, characteristic of those who feel their
weukuess, and make blind obedience a substi
tute for the strength of the principles they pro
fess. Hence, they can afford occasionally to
quarrel among tliemselves, and to listen with
respect nnd difference to iudignant protest,
such as Mr. Toombs und the Mercury have ut
tered aguiust the questionable appropriations
of public money de tended by Geuerul Cass aud
other Democrats. Tue Democratic party ad
mire its Cassaudras, und although their voices
are often silenced aud overborne iu the ex
citement of the /moment, it courts their pre
sence, invokes their warnings, nud when they
are no more, it cherishes their momory. It is
through their instrumentality that the vital
principles of the party are preserved.
But these indignant carpers, who have no
true amity among themselves—no great bond
of fraternal union to biud them together—no
hope for success or consolation iu defeat, except
the diisunionist 01 the Democracy, will be woe
fully deceived if they expect that the Demo
cratic party will in the present hour of peril,
abaudon its standard, or stay for one moment
its onward march to pre-determined victory, for
any paltry quurrcl at the preseut session of
Congress, ou the subject of internal Improve
ments. The constitutional fights of a grout
section of the Confederacy are at stake—the
public safety and the integrity of the Union
are in jeopardy—aud Democrats, everywhere,
know and fele that their first duty is to co-ope
rate and move as one man in the great effort to
rescue the country from its enemies open and
disguised.
When the Democratic triumph shall hav,
been achieved, probably the same difference of
opinion will exist with regard to the power of
the Government over the subject of' Internal
Improvements; and that difference will be an
nounced in terms still stronger than at present.
Will those who are now so keen to perceive the
present dissension, some to the aid of the
South, which has always been foremost in hold*
ing the Federal Government strictly within the
spliereof its constitutional power? No. So
far from it, they will bo found siding with Gen.
Cass, and other Democratic latitudinarians,
who havo not the courage to sacrifice
the expediency of tho present hour, and
their own personal popularity, to principle.
When Southern men, who hear these reproach
es, intended to impair their conf^lence In De
mocratic principles, it should afford themfa new
and stronger reason lor the united support of
the only party, North or South, (upon wbicht
they oan rely.
