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 upon terms of equality before they took their seats in the Baltimore Convention; and if this had been done after the adjournment of introduced into 114 schools in Massachusetts. we hope some good was effected. / On motion it was Resolved, That at onr next meeting, we \ Miller Grieve of Georgia has been appoin- we invite opposition to resolutions passed at a i 1 charge to Copenhagen, previous meeting, declaring our belief that 'AlittledanghterofMr. Lewis, at Defiance, a law of prohibition ought to be passed, and asking for a law giving the decision to the people.

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.

Sincerity.—iSincerity signifies a simplic ity of mind and manners in our conversa tion and carriage one towards another; sin gleness of heart, discovering itself in a con stant plainness and honest openness of be havior, free from all little tricks and fetches of craft and cunning from false appearances, and deceitful disguise of ourselves in word or action; or yet more plainly, it is to speak as we think, and do what we pretend and profess to perform and make good what we promise, and in a word, really to be what we pretend and appear to be.

There is bat one mode in which it is to be accomplished, and only one ; it is the method which stands out foremost and plainest, and it is passing strange the Republican should have failed to discover it. The Union of the Democracy is to be brought about by Union democrats and Southern Rights Democrats coming together as equals. The words that designate their distinction are to belong to the past, neither are to lead neither to do penance. They come together as individuals, each and eveiy one equal to his brother, and not as factious fighting for supremacy.—Sav. Georgian.

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 pect.
