The Political Editor.—We have the
pleasure of announcing to the readers of the
American Banner that Mr. John T. Smith,
ai able writer and a zealous American, who
lias been connected with the Mississippi press
for fourteen years, has been engaged to take
charge of the political department of this pa
per ding the canvass. Mr. Smith, though
a remarkably courteous and amiabie gentle
man, has fought five duels, killing his man
every time. He brings into die political
canvass, besides a general stock of political
information and zeal for the cause, two Bo
wie-knives, one ot Parson Beecher’s Sharpe
rifles, two six-shooters, ann sundry canes and
shelalahs, not to speak of two pair of brass
knuckles. We bespeak for Mr. Smith a cor
dial reception by the press-gang.
P. S.—Mr. Smith brings into the service a
ferocious pair ot whiskers and a diabolical
mustache, which will carry dismay into the
-auks of the adversary. He has nest yet ar
rived at his post; his daguerreotype, by the
way, may be seen at Gurney’s, taken in the

Advertising.
The utica (N. Y.) Observer has the fol
oving about advertising, to which every
•rewd business man will assent: “The true
urae in business is to let the people know
vhat you have to offer to to their notice, or
• hat you may desire to obtain from them.
Hie system of advertising sets down the con
ations of existing trade, as on a chart, and
t c*y on* is enabled to guide his proceedings
fiy it Th us the exchanges of commerce are ‘
made with rapadity and satisfaction. There ,
at** ten thousand mutual wants in society !
which go about in search of each other. The ‘
advertising columns of the newspaper offer
the rradv means of bringing together these
interests. Tliey are the medium of commu
nication between the seller and the buyer—
the source of information mutually advanta
geous to tlie business man and community.
The time has passed for people to sit quietly
in “their stores, and trnst to cirouinstances
for customer?. The aspect of business has
been entirely changed—the old landmarks
lir.ve been removed, and new channels open
’d. Merchants and mechanics should net
-it qii'tlly ami gaze upon the dust gathering
around their wares, hut with becoming
-hrewdnew? place their pens on paper, enu
merate their articles, and where they may
lie found. Men of small capital long since
discovered this road to wealth ; and he who
does not follow in their wake, will find him
self distanced.’’
Making Hie ol 11.
Our Southern friends will see, by the re
port of the meeting at the Tabernacle last
rigut, what new life and animation tlreiil-ad
v;.-ed assault on Sumner has given the black
republican party of this c-ii\. The present
? fate ol‘ a flairs icmimls ns ot the story told
of an old back woodsman who had. for many
long years, been known ns the best figliting
man in ail his part of the country. To use
Lis own language, ho had “never been whip
ped by m m or beast for nearly forty years.”
After lie hud become old and somewhat foe-
Jc. a young, robust ‘Missourian came and
-ettled near him. and on the first provocation
pitched into the old man and whipped him
-everely. J his almost broke him down and
i.c sat day after day and brooded over his
nisfoi tune, wifhoiu seeing any possible climate
>r hope of ii'iiietiy. At length, however, a
large, tall. raw.boned Kentuckian came along
o ‘'litre out. ’ The old man surveyed him
idnn head to loot, and then looking him ,
. ihe eye, asked him if lie could fight, to
•a . "h interrogatory the Kentuckian,of course, i
replied in the ailirmativt*. A bargain was 1
soon struck, in which the young man agreed
to work for so much a month, and do the old
man’s lighting for him.
The third morning after the bargain was
dosed, the two were passing along the road
to their work together when they met with
the new neighbor who had a few weeks pre
viously flogged the old gentleman so unmerci
fully. Directly on the usual salutation of j
‘•good morning” to the Kentuckian, the old
gentleman began to use very harsh and severe j
language to his neighbor, and finally insulted
him, whereupon me Missourian stripped oil
l.is coat and prepared to “walk into” his ene
my right and left. But the old man quietly
stepped aside, and told his hired man “to go
hi.” At it the two young and robust fighters
went, and it was “nip and tuck” with them
for neatly an hour, when the Missourian cried
enough, and was let up. The Kentuckian
washed the blood from his face and quietly
went ou with his “boss” to his work. The
day passed, and nothing was said about the
fight until night, when the old man asked his
workman “‘how he liked his place. ’
“Well.” said the Kentuckian, “sorter and
so: ter not.”
“You ain’t a g*in’ to back out are you!”
asked the old man.
“No, sir,” said he, “a bargain is a bargain,
an l when I make one I stick to it; but I’d
have it a little easier, ’pears to me, if you’d be
a little more eiremnspeetionai in your con
duct. for there was no need of that almighty
hard fight this morning!”
Precisely so with us—“a bargain is a bar
gain,” and we have made one with the Srkmth,
to give them equal rights, and share alike
-.vltl: them in the blessiugs and benefits ol the
government, and we will stand to it and fight
it out, but ii appears to us that there was no
need of getting us into rlii-* “almighty hard
, light” vre have on hand now. We are wil
ling to admit ihut there was provocation, and
that Sumner deserved a whipping, but the
rime, the place, and the manner made it all
wrong and indefensible.
Mr. Brooks lias done die eause of the South
an irreparable injury, and given an amount
of capital to the black republicans equal to
one hundred thousand votes. If the friends
of Gen. Pierre find the Nebraska bill are de
feated at Cincinnati, they will owe that de
feat to Preston S. Brooks, and if the demo
cratic party is defeated next November, it
will owe it to Preston S. Brooks.—A. }•

i line and Touching Incident.
We clip the following from the Fredricks
burg (Va.,) Christian Banner:
A young man and his wife was preparing
to attend a Christian party at the house ofa
friend some utiles distant.
Henry, my dear husband, don’t drink too
much at the party, to-day ; you will promise
me, won’t you?’ said she, putting her hand
; on his brow uud raising her eyes to his face
with a pleading glance.
‘No Millie, I will not; you may trust me,’
And ho wrapped his infant boy in a soft
blanket and they descended.
The horses were soon prancing over the
turf, and pleasant conversation beguiled the
way.
Now don t t forget your promise.’ vvhis
j peied the young wife, as she passed up the
: steps.
Poor thing! she was the wife of a man
who loved to look upon the wine when red.
But his love for his wife, and their babe whom
they both idolized, kept him back, and it was
not often that he joined in Buehanalian re-
I velries.
The party passed oft'pleasuntly, the time
of departing drew near, and the wife descend
ed from the upper chamber to join her hus
i band. A pang shot through the trusting heart
as she met him, for he was intoxicated—he
I had broken his promise.
Siiently they rode homeward, save when
the drunken man broke into snatches of
song, or unmeaning laughter. But the wife
rode on, her babe pressed closely to her
i grieved heart.
‘Give me the baby, Millie, I can’t trust you
with him,’ said he as he approached a dark
and somewhat swollen stream.
After some hesitation, she resigned her
first born, her darling babe closely wrapped
jin the great blanket, to his arms. Over the
dark waters the noble steed safely bore them,
and when they reached the bank, the mother
asked for the child.
With much care and tenderness he placed
the bundle in her arms, bnt when site clasp
ed it to her bosom, no babe was there! It
had slipped from the blanket, and the drunk
en father knew it not
A wild shriek from the mother aroused
him, and he turned just in time to see the lit
tle rosy face rise one moment above the
dark waves, then sink forever.
M hat a spectacle ? the idol of his heart
gone, gone forever, and that by his own in
temperance. The anguish of the mother, the
remorse of the father, are better imagined
than described.
This is no fiction, but the plain truth.
The parties were known by the friends of
the writer, and it should be a warning to
those who indulge in intoxicating drinks, and
resist the pleading of loving wives.
Transference of Vitality.
Let pirrcms read anil ponder upon the fol- ‘
lowing, if thev would save the lives of their i
little ones;
Parents and aged persons—although these
latter exhibit a remarkable fondness for sleep- !
ing with children—should be oafeful not to j
j term it young persons to repose in the same j
l*ed nor in the same apartment with the etna- ;
dated or the aged, for the transference of vi
tality from the young to the old, is not a !
nursery tale, but a serious, and tooofien a fa- .
tal fact.
Children who are habitually placed in eon
fart with the aged, however vigorous before
such a disposition was made of them, become
wan. sickly, contract diseases which properly
belong In persons in advanced life, and if the
contact is continued die from pure vital ex- !
1 must ion. Their fresh and positive magnetism j
is thus absorbed by negative or lion-magnetic j
persons, to the benefit of the latter, and the
injury of the former. The life of the aged
may be prolonged by ibis means at the ex
pense of the existence of the young. Many
of the children who die in this city are thus
prematurely cut off. Parents should know
this inportnnl fact, and at once correct the
evil, if unhappily it crisis in their families.
Says D-. James Copeland:
“A not uncommon cause of depressed vital
power is the young sleeping with the age.—.
This fact, however explained, has been long
remarked, and is well known to every un
prejudiced observer. I have, on several oe
easions. met with tin* counterpart of the fol
lowing ease: I was. a few years ago, consult
ed about a pale, sickly and thin boy, of about
four or five years of age. He appeared to
have no specific ailment, but there was a slow
and remarkable decline of flesh and strength,
and of the energy of ilic functions—what his
mother very aptly termed a gradual blight.—
After inquiry into the history of the ease, ft
came out that he had been a very robust and
plethoric child up to his third year, when his
grandmother, a very aged person, took him to
•sleep with her; that he soon afterwards lost
his good looks; and that he continued to de
cline progressively ever since, notwithstand
ing medical treatment. I directed him to
sleep apart from the aged parent, and pre
scribed gentle tonics, change of air. etc. The
recovery was rapid.
“But it is not in children, only, that debility
is induced by this mode of abstracting vital
power. Young females married to very old
men sutler in a similar manner, although sel
dom to so great an extent; and instanceshav'e
come to my knowledge where they have sus
pected the cause of this debilitated state.
These faetsare often well known to the aged
themselves, who consider indulgence favora
ble to longevity, and thereby illustrate the
selfishness which in some persons increases
with their years. Every medical practitioner
is well aware of the fact, and parents are gen
erally advised not to allow their infants to
sleep with aged persons.—[Waverly Maga

Extract From Senator Butler’s
Speech.
Do you think that, sir, by this remark 1
reproach the troops of New England? No,
rir. When Yorktowu surrendered, there
was not a New England regiment there; I
have a list ol the troops who were present.—
But because I say that Southern troops and
those from Pennsylvania alone engaged in
these distinguished battles, do 1 reproach (lie
troops oi Massachusetts ( God forbid! They
were under the command of Washington at
the time when he went to Yorktown, and, as
was his duty, he sent them lo defend the val
unable points of New York and Boston.
Now I will make a remark which l hope
the Senate will remember: Notwithstanding
their relative numbers compared with the pay
list of New England, you may take the fight-
I ing days—it you have a mind to compute it
as you would labor—you may take the fight-
I ing days during which the troops of South
Carolina were engaged, and in the computa
tion the balance will be found greatly against
Massachusetts. If you have a mind to draw
some other test—if you wish to test the quest
tion of sacrifice, and measure it by blood,
Smith Carolina has poured out hogsheads of
blood where gallons have been poured out
by Massachusetts.
In proof ot this I give a list of battles fought,
in South Carolina, and each was a bloody
battle:
Battle oi fort Moultrie,
Battle of.Stono.
■ Siege of Charleston.
Battle of Camden.
Battle ofllanging Rock.
Battle of Musgrove’s Hill.
Battle of Blaekstoeks.
Battle of Georgetown, and the battle at
Black Wings, by Marion.

The following is an extract from a volume
bearing the above title, by the Brothers
Mayhew:
“Before Man was created, and when the
Heavens and the Earth were without form
and void, God made the metals. And he
locked them up in coffers of stone, and set
ting huge rocks upon them deep under the
ground.
irst Tie made the yellow gold—gorgeous
as the sun. And the Angels cried aloud,
‘We praise Thee, 0 Lord! Heaven and Earth
are full of the majesty of Thy glory.’
“Then the white silver, chaste as the moon,
was made. And again the angels cried:
‘We praise Thee, O Lord,’
“Next the copper was formed, red as the
morning. And once more the angels cried;
j ‘Heaven and earth are full of the majesty of
Thy glory.’
“And then He made the iron gray as night
and the lead in color like a thunder cloud.
But the angels grieved at the sight and were
silent.
“And Peace bent down her head, and
weeping, cried, ‘Make them not, make them
not! merciful Father! make them not! For
though thou lockest them up in coffers of
stone, and liidest them in the bowels of the
earth, man will find them out aud uae them 1
to slay his brother, and 1 and my sister an- |
gels will have no resting place on earth.”
“But the angel of Wisdom rose up and
cried :
“Make them, Lord! make them ! for man |
after a time surfeited with slaughter, shall
with the iron set a girdle about the earth
that will prove a surer safeguard than the
sword, ami bind tribe with tribe and nation j
with nation, till the whole human race shall
be linked.”
Ksi si sas Debate—Senator Evan's
Speech.
Mr. Evans, ofSouth Carolina, occupied the •
attention of the Senate yesterday with one of
the most effective speeches on the slavery j
question, as involved iu the Kansas issue*
which have been made during the session.— i
lie said that for thirty years he had aftstain- i
ed from engaging in exciting political contro- |
versies; but he was const>*ained in his old age
to depart from his habit of giving a silent vote
by the ruthless attack of Mr. Simmer on South
Carolina and upon Ids venerable colleague.—
There was a modesty, earnestness, candor, j
and common sense throughout Mr. Evans'*
remarks, which will commend it strongly to i
the perusal of all Northern men who are sin
cerely desirous to be correctly informed as to
the true character of the institution of slavery ;
j Although lie felt deeply the wrong done Ly j
1 Mr. Sumner to his State and to his colleague, j
! he abstained scrupulously from anything like j
j bitter personal denunciation. We shall not j
’ undertake to anticipate the pleasure which I
will be furnished bv the perusal of the entire
I speech by giving a synopsis; hut there was
one portion of it which made so strong an 1
impression on the audience, that the galleries
i gave a response which came near resulting in
j their being cleared, and to this portion of tip*
speech we will coniine ourself
In reply to the charge of Mr. Sumner, that
I one oi’the features ol slavery was that it tol
erated tlie separation of husband and wife*
’ parent and child, Mr. Evans said that he lived
in a district where the number of slaves was
’ great —even greater than that of the whites—
’ but no such practice existed, and public senti
■ tnent never had tolerated any such inhuman
-1 it}'. He went on to detail one incident of the
kind, however, in which a Northern ntau ac
ted a conspicuous part. That Northern man
was Mr. Albert Sumner, a brother of the
Senator from Massachusetts. He had become
j interested in a large estate of slaves in South
Carolina, which had been ordered to !>*• sold
for division and distribution, the order requir
j ing them to be sold in families according to
■ the uniform practice, not only in that State*
but we believe in all the Southern States.—
There was one family of slaves, consisting of
eight—the husband and wife and six children;
the head of this family had been the favorite
body-servant of his deceased master. No the
surprise and indignation of those present on
. the day of sale, the wife and her children were
put up and sold without the husband and fa
ther. It was discovered, however, that this
was done at the instance of Mr. Sumner, who
was interested as one of the distributors, and
it was understood that he had procured it
with the view of buying the husband and
extending to him special favors. He did buy
him at a reduced price. But, soon after the
sale, Mr. Sumner was found making efforts to
! sell him at an advanced price to any one that
would purchase. Ho one would allow him to
consumate his speculation, and he filially ap
plied to the gentleman who had bought the
wife and children. This gentleman bought
him, but was forced to pay Mr. Sumner fifty
dollars (or his bargain. ’ Mr. Evans gave this
incident to illustrate the habits and sentiments
of Southern men on a subject which has been
grossly misrepresented. The fact that it was
the brother of Senator .Sumner, who had
the charge against tbe inhumanity of Sou
thern men, that sought thus to speculate on
separation of husband and lather from his
wife and children, gave to tlie incident ape-
I euliar significance. We trust that what we
have said will excite an interest amongst
Northern men to read a speech which we re
gard as amongst the best of the session.—

The Buffalo German Catholic paper re
i cently published an article from which the
1 Commercial Advertiser translates the fol
lowing, relating to the Catholic strength and
I influence in this country :
“Whoever undervalues the spiritual pow
i er of the Catholic Church in the United
Stales wanders in a tearful labyrinth. We
have not only seven Archbishops, thirty
three Bishops, and seventeen hundred and
four Priests, all in the service of the Pope
and the Church, but we have also thirty-one
Colleges, thirty-seven Seminaries, and a
hundred and seventeen female Academies,
all founded by the Jesuits, bringing danger
and death and mischeifto American Know
Nothingism and un-American radicalism.
And the hierarchal band which like a gold
en thread, surrounded forty-one Dioeesses
and two Apostolic vicarates, and stretches
from the Atlantic ocean to the still waters of
the Pacific, and maintains an invisible, se
i cret magnetic connection of Rome —this
Hierarchy is to us a sure guarantee that the
Church, perhaps after severe strnggles and
Buttering, will one day come off victorious
i overall the sects of America.
“It is computed that there are, at present,
more than two millions of Catholic inhabi
tants in the United States who are baptised
and confirmed Catholic soldiers of the Lo"d,
and who at the first summons, will assemble
in rank and file; then will men not under
value the power of the Catholic Church in
the United States.”

The Religion of Fremont.
Col. Fremont was educated in and grad
uated from St’ Marys College, in Baltimore,
a Homan C&tjiolic Institution. He was
brought up in the Catholjp faith, and is a
Catholic. He married a daughter of Col.
Bentons. Miss Benton was a Presbyterian.
They were married by a Clergyman of that
denomination ; but a Catholic Priest made a
fuss about it as being null, void and hereti
cal, and the ceremony was re-performed by
him !
Whooray for Fremont, all ye Americans I

The American might have added, that
Fremont educates his children at the Ho
man Catholic Institution, at Georgetown.
The placing of such a candidate before the
public, seems especially designed to defy

IHr. Fillmore at Albany, I. Y. |
The following are extracts from a patriotic !
s|w*f*cli delivered by Mr. Fillmore, at Albany,
on his way home, in response to a welcome ad- I
dress from the Mayor of that city:
“Mr Mayor and Fellow Citizens: This over
whelming demonstration of congratulation and j
welcome almost deprives me of the power of
speech. Here nearly thirty years ago I com- j
menced my political career. In this building I j
first saw a Legislative body in session, (cheers) j
but at that time it never entered into tLe aspi
rations of my heart that I should ever receive
| such a welcome as this, in the capital of my na
’ tive State. (Cheers.)
“You have been pleased, sir, to allude to my
former service and my probable course if 1
should be again called to the position of Chief
Magistrate of the nation, (applause.) It is not
pleasant to speak of one's self, yet I trust that j
the occasion will justify me in briefly alluding
to one or fwo events connected with my last j
administration. (Cheers.) You all know that f
when I was called to the executive chair by a
bereavement which overwhelmed the nation i
with grief, that the country was unfortunately
agitated from one end to the other upon the all 1
exciting subject of Slavery. It was then, sir, j
that f felt it my duty to rise above every sec
tional prejudice and look to the welfare of the
whole nation, (applause.) I was compelled to a
I certain extent to overcome long cherished pre
judices, and disregard party claims. (Great and*
prolongued applause.) But in doing this, sir, I
did no more than was done by many abler and
better men than myself. I was by no means the
sole instrument, under Providence in harmoniz
ing those difficulties. (Applause.) There were at
that time noble, independent, high-souled men,
in both Houses of Congress, Ixlonging to both
the great political parties of the country,—
Whigs and Democrats, —who spumed the char
ter of selfish party leaders (cheers), and rallied
i around my Administration, in support of the
j great measures which restored peace to an agi
tated and distracted country. (Cheers.) By
the blessings of Divine Providence, our efforts
were crowned with signal success (cheers,)
and when I left the Presidential chair, the
whole nation was prosperous and contented,
and our relations with all foreign nations were
of the most amicable kind (cheers). The cloud
that hung upon the horizon was dissipated; but
where are we now ? Alas 1 Threatened at home
with civil war, and from abroad with a rupture
of our peaceful relations. I shall not seek to
trace the causes of this change. These are the
’ facts, and it is for you to jKmder upon them. Os
the present Administration I have nothing to
say. and can appreciate the difficulties of ad
ministering this government, and if the present
executive and his supjxtrters have with good
intention and honest hearts, made a mistake, I
1 hope God may forgive them as I do, (loud and
prolonged applause). But if there bo those
who have brought these calamities upon the
country, for selfish or ambitious objects, it is
your duty, fellow-citizens, to hold them to a gtriet
responsibility. (Cheers.)
The agitation which disturbed the peace of
the country in 1850, was unavoidable. It was
j brought upon us by the acquisition of new ter
ritory, for she government of which it was ne
cessary to provide Territorial Administrations.
But is for you to say whether the present agita
tion which distracts the country and threatens
us with civil war, has not been recklessly and
wantonly produced by the adoption of of a
measure to aid in personal advancement rather
than in any public good. (Cheers.)
Sir, You have been pleased to say, that 1
have the union of these States at heart. This,
sir, is most true, for if there be one object dear
er to me than any other, it is the unity, prosper
ity, and glory of this great Republic; and I
confess frankly, sir, that I fear it is in danger. I
say nothing of any particular section, mdeh less
of the several candidates before the people. 1
presunn l they arc all honorable men. But. sir,
what do we see? An exasperated feeling be
tween the North and the .South, on the most
exciting of all topics, resulting in bloodshed and
organized military array.
But this not all. sir. We see a political par
j ty, presenting candidates for the Presidency and
j Vice Presidency, selected for the first time from
the free States alone, with the avowed purpose
of electing these candidates by RulTrages of one
part of the Union only, to rule over the whole
; United Ktntee. Cmi it be possible that those
l who are engaged in such a measure, can have
J seriously reflected upon the consequences which
must inevitably follow, in case of success ?
(Cheers.) Can they have the madness, or the
folly to believe that our Southern breth
ren would submit to bo governed by such
a Chief Magistrate? (Cheers.) Would he be
required to follow the same r\j)o presorjlietl by
those who elected him in making his appoint.
| monte? If a man living South of Mason and
and Dixon's line be not worthy to lto President
| or A ice President, would it lie proper to select
one from tho same quarter, as one of his Cabi
net Council, or to represent the nation in a for- 1
| eign country? Or, indeed, to collect the reve
nue, or administer tfio laws of the United j
j States ? If not, what new rule is the President j
; to adopt in selecting men for office, that the ,
j people themselves discard in selecting him? |
These aro serious, but practical questions, and
in order to appreciate them fully, it is only ne
i cossary to turn the tables upon ourselves. Sup
pose that the South having a majority of the
Electoral votes, should declare that they would .
only have slaveholders for President and Vice
i president; and should elect such by their ex
clusive suffrages to rule pyer us at tho North.
Do you think wo would submit to it ? No, not !
for a moment. (Applause.) And do you be- |
lievc that your Southern brethren aro less sensi
tive qp this subject than you are, or less jealous
of their rights? (Tremendous cheering,) Jf
you do, let me tell you that you are mistaken.
And, therefore, you must see that if this sec
tional party succeeds, it leads inevitably to the
destruction of this beautiful fabric reared by
our foro-fathers, cemented by their blood, and I
bequeathed to us as a priceless inheritance.
T toll you, my friends, that I speak warmly
, on this subject, for I feel that we are in danger.
!I am determined to make a clean breast of it. I
jvjU wash my hands of the consequences, what
| ever they may be j and I tejl yon that we qrp
trending upon the brink of a volcano, that |s
liable at any moment to burst forth and over
whelm the nation. I might, by soil words, hold
i out delusive hopes, and thereby win votes. But
j I can never consent to bo one thing to the
I North and another to the South. I should des
! piao myself if I could be guilty of such eva*
j sion. (Tumultuous applause.) For my eon
| science would still ask, with the dramatic poet—
“lit there not some secret curse —
Some hidden thunder red with immortal wrath —
j f o bjast the yretch who owes his greatness
To his country's ruin >”
j In the language of the lamented, Immortal
i clay—“l had rather bo right than bo Presi
dent.’’ (Enthusiastic and prolonged cheers.)
Just So. — An Indiana Know Nothing,
writing to the Louisville (Ky.) Democrat,
thus laconically expresses his agony at the
fat e of his party in that State :
“Sambo has got Sam. He won’t even let
Sam sleep in the same bed with him over
here in Indiana. He swears that ‘ Africans
must rule America.’ And his motto now is
—‘Put none but Xiggers on guard to-night’
We’re going to the devil as fast aa we can,
; Apd J want to sell out.”
Young Americm. — The Boston J/eraki i
says, an urchin in one of our public schools, j
scarcely ten years old, was discovered, one
day last week with a pistol in his pocket,
loaded with a ball and capped I In reply to
a question from the principal of the school,
as to what he intended to do with the wea
pon, the little shaver said—“One of the boys •
called me names yesterday, and if he calls j
me names again I'll shoot him 1”
The German Press.
The “Leit-Stewi” (Guiding Star,) a Ger
man weekly Paper published in Baltimore,
thus fires a bomb into tliecamp of the Pseudo-
Democracy.
A. Word to the Mative-bop.n Sklf-Styi.ed
Democrats.—We have published several j
German papers in this couni ry. one for three
years past in Baltimore. We have partaken
of the Revolution in Kurope and s*'od with j
the banner of freedom at the barricades
where Ihe balls of a despotic soldiery were!
flying thick as bail. We have always struck
for the freedom of the people, and we have
al wnys been a friend of true “Democracy, ” j
but we have found that the same “Democra- j
oy” as applied in this country to the party
claiming that title is an empty sound.
You, the managers of that party, drive or
lead the Germans to the polls like cattle, and,
when they have voted, you treat them with
contempt. If there is any benefit to be be
stowed, it is given to the Catholic Irish, who
govern you, arid whom you are afraid of.—
The election is approaching. Heretofore yob i
: have bad the Germans in a body, but you .
will have them so no longer. The bigoted
j Catholic portion may adhere to you, but the
Protestant and free-thinking Germans are
; with you no longer; neither here in Balti
: more, nor elsewhere. The Northern and
Western German papers, nearly all of them,
have left the so-called Democratic party.—
We have not much money, but we have
J many friends, and. as far as our energies and
1 influence go, we are determined, if possible,
, to insure the defeat of the so-called Demo
cratic party in the coining contest.
In addition, we notice that the St. Louis
Anzeiger des Westens, a daily German pa
per of great circulation in the West, repudi
ates bo: h the platform and candidates of she
Democratic party. Some half-dozen Ger
man papers in Illinois, and the two most in
lluential Democratic papers of the State, the
Chicago Democrat, and Chicago Press, repu
j diate the Democratic nominations, and go
for the Republicans. In Cincinnati, four
; German papers, two dailies and two week
; lies, oppose the nomination of Buchanan.

A Protest. —We soe that the City Coun
cil propose to give the Hogs the “freedom of
the corporation. ’ We protest, unless the free
dom of shooting down every hog that commits
depredations on the premises of the citizens, be
also granted, at the same time! It would be
better, we think, for the city carts to go round,
daily vnd gather up the offal, than to make r‘eeo
uomical scavengers’’ of the swine.
Bolting from Ike Boilers.— We
learn that more than one-third of the G3 Bolters
from the American Party of Muscogee, have
bolted back, again, and declare that they have
been badly sucked in by somebody I Who threw
that brick ?
Savannah and Main Trunk
Road.— ln the absence from this city, of the
highly respectable citizen, who gave ns the in
formation touching the reeent contract of the
•Savannah <i Gulf Rail Rood Company, jve will
have to defer a definite answer to the Savannah
Republican of the 2d inst. till our next issue.
At present, then, we have only t<* say, that our
informant stated to us that one of the contractors
gave him he information, that about half of the
or IS mile contract was in the direction of
the initial point of tho Main Trunk Road, jpg]
that the balance diverged in the direction of
Albany.
As to the proposition of Dr. Screven to tho
people of Randolph—as the Republican does
not deny “by authority,” wo need not state our
authority tar asking the question, .
Anurltan Mrrling of Tucs

American party of Bibb It was out of
f)U< power to bo present, but wo Irani that a
good feeling prevailed, and that Uioro wits much
unanimity In favor of Mr. Fillmore, while Mr.
Donelson was swallowed, apparently with a
good grace, but really with a grimace, as a very
bitter pill *
We were in hopes that the meeting would
I have confined itself to the business. f,, r which it
j Was palled, fiamely that of electing Delegates to
represent the county in the Convention of the gtfi
f July, without pledging them to the support of
any candidates. In our judgment a different
course was impolitic and may embarrass the ac
tion of the Convention, who may still think it
best to nominate a more acceptable man than
Donelson, for tho Vice Presidency. However,
we are not disposed to be captious about the
I matter, still hoping for the >est. and determined
; come what will, to give our support to the ticket’
W*h|ch will beet rejrresent the American principle’
; although it may be “fove’s labor lost” or amount
to nothing in the end.
In Georgia we have thought it useless to p|acp
an American Electoral Ticket in the field, at all,
but our views on that point have been yielded,
in deference to the wishes of many friends who
cannot vote for the Democratic Platform aud its
Representatives, and who desire to express their
undimiuished confidence in Mr. Fillmore,
though “hoping against hope.” almost, to give
him the vote of Georgia.
If then, an Electoral Tickft is nominated, it

Bibb DctegAtlon*—-This delegation is
; a good one, but it ought to have been thrice aa
large, as nearly all the counties that have elected
delegates have not been governed by the num
ber of members they are entitled to in the Leg
islature, but liave increased that ratio, in some ;
1 instances, threefold!
Stauimerlag Cured.—Tiiert j p *
j Professor Lewin out at Montgomery who has
i been remarkably successful in curing stammer
ing, in a few moments, even in the most invet
erate cases. Dr. Thomas Wilson, a well known
Printer of Georgia, and one of the most invetcr
ate stutterers we ever knew, has certified to tho
fart that lie was radically cured by Prof. L. in
one lemon. One of our Alabama eoteinporaries
thus speaks of Wilson’s case and Prof L. s
skill:—
“That gentleman (Wilson) used to la* a prac
tising physician, but was compelled to abandon
plie profession apd retqm to his old trade of type
settmg, from (he l'npt shat his patients would ip
variably either die pr get well’ before he could
stutter out a prescription for tljeip. lie can
now converse with ease and fluency. Prof. L.
comes well recommended, and we advise such
as are addicted to stammering to call on him.’ 1
It is said that them were five thousand
people at the Fremont and Dayton ratifica
tion meeting in Cincinnati, on the 23<i inst.,
a great number of whom were Germans.
AW ELECTORAL ticket.
We do not desire to dictate to the American
Gunvention, wltom they shall place on the Fill
more Electoral Ticket, but t>eg leave to suggest
tho following names, .as embodying the right sort
of material, out of which to form a very able corps
of standard bearers:
FOR THE STATE AT LARGE.
ELECTORS. ALTERNATES.
Hon. 0. J. Jenkins, Hon. Win. Dougherty,
: Gen. Jno. W. A. Sanford. Maj. Joel Crawford.
; l.t.Die. Hon. t'. S. Bartow Hon. 0. 11. Hopfcin?,
2<t. ** lion. Wm. H. Crawford. Hon. O. K. Thomas,
i S(i. “ Hon.F.. A. Nishet, Gen. Ell Warren,
I 4th. “ lion. B. H. Hill, Hon.'H. 11. Overby,
ftlh. “ Dr. V. 11. Miller, Col. A. Johnson.
1 Ath. “ Hon. C. Peebles, Col. L. Franklin,
Jth. “ Hon. E. 11. Baxter, lr. Ira K. Dupree,
ttk. ** lion. John Milleilge, Col. A. K. Wright.
We think it would bo good policy to nominate ■
alternates, whose duty it shall te to assist the !
Electors in the Canvass and to till vacancies that i
may arise in the Ticket.
Take it all Back !—Since our last
we have understood that llou. J.C. Breekenridge
is the friend and adviser of CdSstus M. flay, the
Kentucky Abolitioni*l, and that he is, himself, an
emancipationist If this In* confirmed, of course
we have no use for him, and would not even
agree to substitute him for the “greasy Tennes
sean.” As to Buchanan, clever, good old soul
that he is. we fear he will not do credit to our
previous good opinion of him. His “squatter
j soveignty.” Free Soilisin. Ostend Fillibusterism,
j and general indecision of character, say nothing
’ of other political short-comings, will make him t
i hard horse to ride, for even ex}>erieiioed political
jockies who are used to rough roads and much
j jolting. He is, however, a much safer nag for
! the South than that “Wooly Tlorse” Fremont,
whom the wooly-headed worshippers have start
ed on the course, and should be treated with
| more kindness aud consideration.
Attention, I.Udte* l —We are reques
ted to inform live Ladies of Macon, that Mbs.
Harper, a teacher of the art of measuring and
cutting Ladies’ and childrens’ dresses, is now at
Brown's Hotel, where she will Ik* pleases! to see
those who are desirous of perfecting themselves
in the easy method of Dress making patented by

Convention, from Sumter County.
Female School at Amerlcus.—
The hist Sumter Republican pays the following
compliment to the Lady Teachers of a Female
School in that city:
“On Wednesday, we attended as one of the
examining committee at the exercises of the
school. The school is composed of girls princi
pally, whose Hges range from 5 to 18 years, and
numbers some 70 students. It is uuder the
Superintendence of Mrs. M. Nesbitt, a lad}* o l
polished accomplishments, and assisted by Miss
Fannie Evans, a young lady every way qualified
for the position she occupies.”
Mrs. Nesbitt and Miss Evans arc Macon la
dies. well known and highly appreciated in this
city.
The Florida Branch.—The Middle
Florida Branch of the Brunswick and Florida
Rail Road has been located, we understand. It
leaves tho Main Trunk a( the point where it
crosses the line of Clinch, and Ware counties,
and runs diagonally across Clinch county to a
point near the south western corner of tho
count}-, and in the direction of Jasper, in Flori
da.
W had the pleasure of examining the pro
file and was struck with the remarkable even
ness of the surface, having almost no cuts or
embankments, save the slight one to form tht*
road-bed. We are informed by Col. Schlatter,
that the fall is only 27 feet in 39J miles.—
Brunsmck Herald, July 2d.
We also loam that the Brunswick Comjtany
haa n;uie a preliminary survey of another
branch Road from Thomasvilie to the Florida
line, which, with the “Florida Branch ’ through
Clinch in the direction of Jasper, Florida, rather
closes up the range ot Southern Counties of
Georgia against all Rail Road competition!

Commodore Stockton’s letter of acceptance
says: “I will not let tlie Union slide if my
body can stop its motion.” He adds: “[
accept of the nomination as a compliment t<*
my inflexible “American” sentiments, and
4S a duty I owe to those “Americans” who
so firrijly adhered tq fhpip “American” senti
ments, witji the ex press understanding, how- |
ever, that if the “Aroerioan” party can be 1
united on Mr, Fillmore on such a platform as j
I now occupy, I may be at liberty at any
time thereafter to withdraw this acceptance.
\ot a Drop of Democratic Blood.
The Union is greatly disturbed by the rc
poblication of Mr. Buchanan’s assertion that
“if he thought that he had one drop of Dem
ocratic blood in his veins, he would open
them and let it out.” It published Friday
mppning a long rigmarole from Lancaster,
the object of which is to filipd thp eyes of•
the people and tp make the credulous be- i
liete that Mr. Buchanan never made the as- i
aertion. The substance of the Union’s arti
cle that certain old citjgene of Lancaster de
clare that they do not believe Mr, Buchanan
ever made the assertion, because they never j
heard him make it, and never heard any j
body say that they heard him make it! This ‘
is the aum and substance of the Union’a proof, i
that Mr. Buchanan did not make the asser- j
tion.
We will now’ state the facts in relation to !
this matter.
| ty'hen Afr. Biiclmnap lifpl completed his
legal studies, aqd bepn jtduiitted fp the Jiiy
of Lancaster Oounty, he gave an entertain
ment to his friends. In the course of the
evening, agenUeman inquired of Mr. Buchan
an where he intended to establish himselt’?
Mr. B. replied that he had not determined.
Hfome one suggested tjiat he should establish
himself in a place which he mentioned. Ur,
B. replied that that place “was too democrat
ic.” Judge R. then remarked, “why, Buch
anan, you ought to turn Democrat, and then
you will succeed.” Mr. Buchanan imme
diately replied, “if I thought that I had a
drop of Democratic blood iu my veins, I
would open them aud let it out.”
This is a correct version of this celebrated
afiair, and \ye cjiqljienge flip flniop qr any
friend of Mr. Buchanan to cqr.tra'dict it.—

A good joke was perpetrated iu the Aboli
