CASS YULE. GEORGIA:
RomiiKtioas ot Baltimore Drm. Convention.
¥«r president,
GEN. FRANKLIN PIERCE,
or NEW HAMPSHIRE.
dPOR VICE-PRESIDENT,
WILLIAM R. KING,
OF ALABAMA,
Too much importance cannot be attached
to the meeting to take place at Atlanta,
on the 18lA of this month. There has been
no convention m Georgia since the presiden
tial nominations were made, upon the delib
erations of which so much depended, as the
onenow about to assemble. lienee it is that
-we feel called upon to urge upon the people
everywhere to be present on that occasion,
if in their power to do so. We wish to see
assembled the wise, the good, the cool, the
discreet, and the reflecting men o f the State.
Let age and experience come forth to give
their counsels of wisdom and moderation;
let the young and ardent spirits of the land
there mingle together under the chastening
Thursday, September 9,1852. influences of riper years; all imbued with
the honest devotion to the cause which we seek
to advance, by the triumph and success of
the National Democratic nominees-,Pierce
and King. If the proper feelings can be
invoked at this meeting, we have an abiding
faith that it will result in doing more good
than ordinarily results from assemblages of
this character. It will harmonize and unite
the friends of the democratic nominees in
the cordial support of one electoral ticket,
which will secure to them the vote of Geor
gia beyond all manner of doubt. Is not
such a result worthy of the best efforts of
eTery patriotic man who feels that the best
interest of the country is identified with the
election of Pierce and King ? Will not our
friends agree with us in the declaration, that
we should be prepared to meet all the friends
of the democratic nominees in the spirit of
conciliation, prepared to do everything
which honorable men can do to bring about
-a sincere and cordial reunion of the support
ers of the candidates and principles of the
National Democracy ? Should this feeling
predominate at Atlanta on the IStli, over
personal griefs and disappointments, it will
be well for us that we have met together.—
The fruits of our labors will amply repay
us for all the efforts which shall there be
made in the cause of conciliation and com
promise. It is useless to disguise the fact,
that the only obstacle now in the way of the
cordial reunion which we seek to accomplish,
is to be found in the fact that an electoral
ticket is now in the field for Pierce and King,
which cannot and will not unite their friends
in its support. It is unnecessary, perhaps,
to consider the reasons for it. It is enough
to know that the fact exists. That is the
difficulty to be met and overcome. Let it
be approached in the language of the mem
bers of the Committee who called this meet
ing—■« In the spirit of pure patriotism and
honest devotion to the great end sought to
be accomplished.” A re-arrangement of the
electoral ticket can be effected in a way, and
upon a basis that will bring to its support a
large and triumphant mojority of the peo
ple of Georgia. Let it then, by all means,
be done. Fiom tbe manifestations we have
seen of public opinion os this subject, we
have much confidence in such a. result; and
we conclude, by earnestly urging upon all
the friends of the movement, to be in Atlan
ta on the 18<A instant, to participate in
bringing it about. Let us at any rates
make the effort. If we fail, the responsi
bility will be upon other shoulders than
ours, and it will be for them and not for us,
to answer for that failure; though-we trust
and believe that the effort will be crowned
with success.

The Meeting it Atlanta.
The entire democratic press, so far as we
have noticed, favors the proposition for the
mooting on the 16th, and we doubt not it
will be one of the largest snd most enthu
siastic meetings ever held in Georgia. We
hope our friends in this county will all at
tend, and that without regard to old differ
ences. Let all who honestly desire the elec
tion of Pierce and King, whether Union or
Southern Rights, wbigs or democrats, go up
determined to heal all past differences, and
unite boldly and fearlessly in defence of our
candidates, and determine upon some course
which shall secure their triumphant elec
tion,
The Kewhnn Banner, after alluding to
the withdrawal of the Union ticket, says:
•• The most important consideration, how
ever, is to secure the vote of Georgia to
Pierce and King, against all the opposition
arrayed against them. We feel assured
that the patriotic course of the Committee
will meet the entire approbrt-ion of the
friends of Pierce and King in Georgia, and
be productive of the happiest results. To
effect a permanent union of all the friends
of the democratic nominees, and to secure
efficiency and harmony of action during the
present campaign, it is suggested by the
Committee, that a meeting of the friends of
Pierce and King be held in Atlanta on Sat
urday the 18th of September next. We
heartily corcur in the movement, and hope
the suggestion will bo followed by a large
and enthusiastic meeting of the masses from
every section of the State, where all differ
ences will be reconciled, and a union effect
ed between the friends of Pierce and King
which will secure an easy and lasting tri
umph ever the Scott and Webster influence
in Georgia.”
For the Standard.
Mr. Burke:—The indications are suclN
as to give assurance that the true friends of
Pierce and King, and the political creed that
was adopted by the Convention that put
them in nomination, will unite in the sup
port of the same electoral ticket. As a Un
ion democrat-1 rejoice at this, and will aid,
by any influence that 1 may possess, in pro
moting a cordial and harmonious union of
the friends of Franklin Pierce and Wm. R.
King.
The two delegations ought to have united

Milledgeville, Aug. 21, 1852.
To the Democratic Executive Committee :
Gentlemen : The Constitutional Union
ticket having been formally withdrawn, the
party Which nominated it may be consider
ed as entirely dissolved. Such is not only
the legitimate effect but the movement
is evidently designed .o produce that result.
This leaves the democratic ticket without
any opposition, except that presented by the
Whig party ; and, in my judgment, it re
moves all obstacles tc an amicable healing
of the schism which has unfortunately ex
isted in the Democracy of Georgia. To me,
this is an occasion of unfeigned gratifica
tion, and, 1 trust, it wih be hailed with
pleasure by every friend of Pierce and King
in the State. For several weeks, I have an-
ic.patcd it with certaiuty, and looked for
ward to it with deep solicitude, as the only
hope for the entire harmony and union of
our party.
Iu the address of the Union Executive
Committee, an appeal is made to tlio:e friends
of Pierce and King, whom it represents, to
meet in Atlanta in September, to consult as
to the best method of producing that friend
ly concert of action, so necessary to the suc
cess of our principles and the casting of the
vote of the State for our nominees; and, in
no concealed terms, the expectation is inti
mated, that we should unite in the delibera
tions of that meeting. I trust we shall re
ciprocate the spirit of conciliation, which
our Union Democratic brethren have now
manifested, that we will respond cordially
and promptly to the call for the proposed
meeting, and that the result will be a total
oblivion of past differences and asperities,
and the re-establishment of that fraternal
union of our party, which, in other days,
has enabled us to achieve such glorious tri-
nphaia behalf of our cherished principles.
For one, I am now, as 1 always have beat,
preparad to make any sacrifice, which hon-
erabla and liberal-minded might re
quire, to produoe harmony and reconcilia-
tion, a^if I have not spoken publicly be
fore, it hM been because I felt, A«i circum
stances, not neoenaiy now to be mentioned,
rendered it imcompatible with propriety and
principle, in view of the attitude of the two
wings of the Democracy. That attitude
now entirely changed, and therefore, I hesi
tate not one moment to say, what I hate so
long desired that circumstances would jus
tify me in sayiug.
If the proposed call for n meeting at At-
lanta shall be impended to by us, as I have
I 10 rtveht itwiU be, the subject of so mould
ing the Ainmntie etootoral ticket, as to
make it noo^UMe to all, will, I
such will refuse to give their support to any
compromise ticket. All such arc not in fa
vor of the principals laid down in the Bal
timore platform, nor do they desire the suc
cess of the nominees of that Convention.—
They adhere to the organization that has
declared for the Compromise measures and
for Pierce and King, simply because they
aid in keeping the Southern Rights demo
crats separated from the Union democrats,
and thus hope to place some prominent and
leading democrats in a false position before
the country- They do not hope to carry be
fore the people the electoral ticket that they
have put in nomination, and yet they « ould
suffer defeat rather than recognize those
who in Georgia have differed with them in
regard to the coniprom : se measures They
are willing to support both Pierce and
King, although both of them were for the
compromise measures, and sustained by a
national party that made acquiescence in the
compromise ns a finality, a part of their
political creed, but Gov. Cobb and those
Union democrats who counseled acquiescence
as a duty that was due from us to the peace
and harmony of the Union, they' indignant
ly refuse to support or even to be identified
with them in the same political organization.
Such men are not democrats, nor are they
cordially the supporters of Pierce and King
and the platform of the party that plainly
declares in favor of acquiescence in these
measures of adjustment as a finality. And
the great body of the friends of Pierce and
King, whether heretofore Southern Rights
men or Union men, wliigs or democrats,
should disregard the counsels of these men.
If it be desirable that Pierce and King
should receive the popular vote of the State
of Georgia, and carry out in good faith the
principles that he has always maintained
and supported, then wc must unite with those
who are with us in principle and in favor of
his election, And there is no other way to
secure a cordial and warm support for the
same ticket, bat by putting forward one
ticket that fairly and fully represents each
and all divisions of his supporters. As a
Union man anxious to secure the triumph
of the democratic ticket, 1 would not ask
that all the electors should have been ident
ified with me as Union men, in the questions
that have divided the State and both polit
ical parties for two years past; while I
claim that Union men should be fairly rep-
hiui that 1 was a good showman,
and would do as I agreed, accepted my pro
position to give security for me in the pur
chase of the Museum collection, he appoint
ing a money taker at the door, and crediting
me, toward the purchase, all the money re
ceived after paying expenses, allowing me
fifty dollars per month, on which to support
my family, consisting of a wife and three
children. This was my own proposition as I
was determined so to live that six hundred
dollars per annum should defray all the ex
penses of my family until I had paid for the
Museum and my treasure of a wife (and such
a wife is a < taeasure'j gladly assented to the
arrangement, and expressed her willingness
to cut the Expenses down to $400 per aunum-
if necessary.
One day, some six months after I had pur
chased the Museum, my friend, Mr. Olm
stcad, happeued in at. my ticket office at
about 12 o clock, and found me alone, eating
my dinner, which consisted of a few slices
ol corned beef and bread that I had brought
from home in the morning. < Is this the way
you cat your dinner ?’ he inquired—1 have
not eaten a warm dinner since I bought the
Museum, except cn the Sabbath,’ I replied,
and I intend never to eat another on a week
day till I get out of debt.’ « Ah ! you are
j safe, and will pay for the Museum before the
year is out,’ he replied, slapping me famil-
ia rly on the shonUcr; and he was right, for
in less than a year from that period, I was
iff full possession of the Museum as my own
property; every cent paid out of the profits
of the establishment. Had 1 been less econ
omical, and less determined, my expenses
would have kept peace with my income:
and 1 should have been differently situated

Eagle, of the 20th ult., says, the Temper
ance meeting in that city on the 19th, was
one of the most numerous gatherings of the
people that ever assembled together in that
city. At least four thousand persons were
present, a large majority of whom were at
tracted together by the announcement that
Mr. Samuel M. Hewlett, formerly of that
city, was to speak on that occasion. The
performance of Mr. Hewlett is spoken of in
very high terms of approbation.
Extract from Mr. Webster’s speech
at Buffalo May 22d, 1861.—« My opin
ion remains unchanged, that it was not in
the original scope or design of the Constitu
tion to admit new States out of foreign ter
ritory ; and that for one, I never would con
sent ; and no matter what may be said at the
Syracuse Convention, or at any other assem
blage of insane persons, I never would con
sent, and never have consented, that there
should he one foot of slave territory beyond
what the old Thirteen States had at the tinw
of the formation of the Union.—Never f
never ! ! The man caonot show his face
to me and prove that I ever departed from
that doctrine. He would sneake away, and
slink away, or hire a mercenary press that
he might cry out, what an apostate from
liberty Daniel Webster has become. He
knows himself to be a hypocrite and a falsi
fier.”
Survey or Georgia Rivers.—In the
proceedings of the United States Senate of
August 23d, we find the following paragraph
of interest to many, if not all of onr read
ers. The River and Harbor bill being un

•< Mr. Dawson moved an amendment, di
recting the Secretary of War to cause a sur
vey of the Savanneh, Ocmulgee, Flint and
Chattahoochee rivers, in Georgia, to the
height of steamboat navigation, and appro
priating for the same $10,000; after debate
it was agreed to.
Destructive Fire.—At five o'clock yes
terday morning, a fire broke out ir. the largo
brick Circular Establishment of the Central
Railroad; and in an hour and a half burnt
the whole to the ground. The building cov
ers under the same roof a machine shop, and
engine house. In the machine shop there is
a stationary engine which works the whole
establishment; here the fire originated;
and it is supposed in the following manner :
It is the duty of the uight guard of the prem

this he did at four o’clock, on yesterday
morning, und it is supposed had by some
flaw in the works, the fire was communica
ted to the building alter he left, and was too
far advanced to be arrested when discover
ed.
The loss must be very considerable. A
large portion of the machenery, tools, im
plements, and fixtures were destroyed.—
These, together with the building, have been'
estimated, by some, at $10,000.
We arc happy to be informed by the Pres
ident, R. It. Cuyler, Esq., that no delay or
inconvenience will result .to travellers or
transportation over the line, not a car has
received injury, and only three engines
have received damage, and that only slight,
and of such a character as to be quickly
remedied.—Sav. Georgian, 1st inst.
Charleston Municipal Election.—
Messre~~WhH e ,~Smyly and'HarrisTof "this j^e Charleston papers contain the votes giv-
for that division of the democracy. It is
important that we should unite, and on such
terms that all who are the friends of the
nominees can vote for the electoral ticket
without any sacrifice of personal self-res

litical questions, and for one I would not
make any concession of principle on any
thing that has heretofore separated us.—

found herself on board the propeller on her

night dress, without money, and without a

friends were all lost! Without knowing
where to turn for succor, she took passage
on a Detroit boat and reached this city,
where her immediate wants were supplied,
and where she has been kindly offered a

am perfectly willing to act with all who
subscribe to-that platform, and who honest

I hope that yon will take occasion, through
the columns of your useful and consistent
political journal, to urge upon both politi-
cab divisions to meet in large numbers at
Atlanta on the 18th instant, determined to
do what is just and proper to unite all the
advocates of Pierce and King in the support
of the same electoral ticket. This, in my
judgment, is the honest desire of nine-tenths
of the supporters of Pierce and King of all
former divisions, and their wishes cannot
be disregarded with impunity.

How to Show Lore for n Wife.
Show love for your wife and your admira
tion of her, not in nonsensical compliment;
not in picking up her handkerchief, or her
glove, or in carrying her fan; not, though'
you have the means, in hanging trinkets and
baubles upon her; not in making yourself
a fool by winking at, and seeming pleased
with her foibles or follies or faults; but
show them by acts of real goodness towards
her; prove, by unequivocal deeds, the high
value you set on her health and life and
peace of mind; let your praise of her go to
the full extent of her deserts, bat let it be
consistent with truth and with sense, and
such as to convince her of your sincerity.—
