B. 11. Hill addre-xsd quite a uu-£c uioetinj* of our citizen*, >u the rear of the Oglethorpe hotel. Many friend* of both t lie political opponents of Mr. Bell were present, and Kitvo tho speaker an attentive audience. Mr. Hill was introduced to the meeting by 001. Uines Holt, with the auspicious announcement that he would address tbe intlligence and reason of the pe- p • ‘Spring all appeals to passion ami preju dice. This led us to think that the 001. had read the .p©eoh is advance, but, on hearing it, we were 0 nviuoed that such could not he the fact, for it is unpassihie to ooneaive that he could have erred no egregiousij as to its import. During the first hour of his sjieecb, Mr. Mill labored hard to show that his candidate wan the most violent and un couipronrsing pro-slavery man in the whole South. Hu aid that the Democratic party had hocn afraid to .sot its face against the nnti-slavery sentiment of the world, in proof of which, lie mentioned as a tact, that, in the three last Presi dential campaign*, is selected lot its rtandard leti-cr?. men from the Northern section or the Ilk •. who represented this dominant idea. With out attempting to e*t.thlish the latter psrt of this charge, Mr. Hill conveniently fofyot te refer to the l aHty or political sentiments of Mr. KUl fU'Tc, or to the fact, that the Whig and Know- Nothing parties, with which the speaker had been affiliated, bare ween completely swallowed ‘H> by the Abolition party. We should like to bear Mr. llill. orauy of his confederates, attempt a “vUilh'ii f the fact that every organi ration, with which the Font hern Opposition to Democ racy unite*, makes a “straight shoot” for Aboli iKUunn Hut _l* Mr. Kell. Tho speaker harp+d ami loudly upon the speech of that gentle man delivered in the .Senate in 1 upon the font premia measure. The sum of bi a effort.* upon thi point wn-i a special application of mme \ cr-. . >,erui remarks ou lavery in the speech ro fcrrevl to. Mr. Kell did say some very pretty thiiij, -. and if he had always ncUd as he talked, in a certain portion of that speech* the South * “ti'd Lave had uothiug to ootapluin oi him, but the difficulty with Mr. Bell i* that his conduct ’ ‘'tidy I'imiishes u ilisparagiug commentary | upon the inccrity of hi* declarations. Indeed, it is impossible to tell what he w ill do from what be -in ,y mffy, except upon the principle of lever j- k . \\ heoever he speaks for the South he Vote* j iitjaintt her. and rice rera —hi* continued good I nature n*4 allowing him to take a decided stand, both in peecb and action, ugmust her enemies. To illustrate, in tbe .“pecch referred to, Mr. Fell id, “that humanity to the slave, no leas than justice to the master, <lemindl the t*xtm -ion of . !a\ort. ’ Yet, during the same session* he hr< n, ht forward a proposition to deprive the pcoj li* of Texas of their guaranteed right—a ML'bt which Daniel W*lteradiuittedtole‘‘irre pc.il.iblc” -tu furiu funr additional States out of tlieir TerrLlory, und to bruit that right to ulo.— The to * new State.-, thus to Ue hereafter termed, ■ vid Mr. Bell, “be tho Ja.*t of their race.— They w ill and, molt dose the account, in my ’ ■if cn.cui, of the ilave State*, then and forever, ‘■■"g a- this CnioU lasts.” J.imitation, therefore, is Ihe practical exposition of Mr. Bell's theory of i.rjMtrtsian. * Mr. Hill consumed the next hour iu u deuanci ai .f plat forma* Altei supporting, for the lat id :ccn years, cm delates who *tood upon these DicturCs, Mr. Hill has that art* tti* i oidrirance’ oTchrrn'fi men, to cheul pc.ojue.” H nver .u to this doctrine must be very r* for hi/, own party in this State, met m ■vento.uno longer ago than last May, and got npoi, the Scceder’- jjat/orm aod pledged them- MivcA to a> t with whoever stood by it. We bo licv<- that Mr. Hill was a delegate to tbaJ Con veotc.ii hut, whether he was di not, be was rep reaenud in it, he acquiesced iu its action, and thus to bis declaration against, we oppie his au th rity In favor f plutfoms. l urthemorc, iu Mr. Hill wrote, wbui is called, his “Dudley letter.'’ Imring bis speech the other night, ho took occasion to read certain. ; .rt in of that letter, but run* did nor allow him to g • ... ar inir* it as we could have winbed. Near the clwe of it appears this paragraph : It in D o the Democratic party shall give tis I rm. iplea tiud au< ißioee coming distinctly and ‘-•Idly up to the requisites of this letter, and our party -hall fail todeao, then, to be contnident, we r t, and will go to tbe Democracy.” i That letter clearly enunciated the doctrine of ■ r teclion.” The whole burden of the argumeut [ aas to prove that ihe Supreme Court had decided | the question in our favor, and that the position “(■Judge Douglas wa* in with that j dec I- H.

Thi” fa*t, Mr. Hilt, tii.Migh “nos uppealing to prejudice,” thought pr per to Cenceal. lie declared that John Bell wan jilntform enough for bint, and, in a climax of eloquence, proclaimed that “Hod Almighty made our platform your*, the DcinocratU A preacher rat u|on the stand and wo locked to him refill thi4 lander upon his I Master. Periiap ‘he was rrktrained ly tlie idea | that tho • peaker bad relerence to Burlingame's ” t . tavery <iod.'* Mr. Hill’s defence “f Beß'e v-)tea on tlic subject of Abolition petitions, on the | Fan: i -Nebraskabill, the admission of Kansa* l with fbcLocenptoo Constitution, his speech no ! the abolition of slavery in tbe District of LelumbU, were puerile in the extreme. They would juetify Reward well, in u - mdar course on all these questions. In reply to a question from a gen tleman in tho audience, Mr. Jlill endorsed In position of Mr. Bell'uo the abolition of sla .ery In the District of Columbia. We regret ted t.. heir thi?. As recreant as wc deom Mr, Bill t *j W* to hi ; duty and his plighted faith, we bad no idea that he hod become inoetlated with tbi-abolition heresy. For hia own reputation, for tho credit of the South, we trust that this admi ion was made under Ihe excitement of the i. mens, and that he will yet repudiate it.— When questioned about Mr. Rverett's reeerd he referred the interrogator to the ladies.

Deni Times: It would be immodest in one, I like your correspondent, with humble pretensions t*> literature, to attempt a description of the I u*'tulerful Fulls of Niagara, so familiar to every t ur<M and reader, ft suffice* to say, that it* j wild, tumultuous billowy,its foaming maduoss, its , mighty leap, its nwl'ul grandeur, hwakens in fan cyV sen-'c everything that is bright, terrific and ! glorious. The deep, muttering thunder, tho • lightning's dart, tho blue ethereal .sky, the white ileeoy cloud*, tho ralndow’* tint, tho brow of j beauty, the form of grace, she boasted prowess ot j man,lhe echoes of eternity, are all recalled by j thi* sublimo freak of nature, whose hoarse an i them mingles with the song of tho stars. Jeho vah’s name Tho Niagara river, from whence tho Falls take, its name, i* “and tulles in length, 1 is the boundary line between Gauada and New } ork, and is the channel through which the aoou uuilatcd waters of the great lake* of North Ame i rLa,--Superior, Michigan, Huron and Krie—arc i poured into Lake Ontario. * The falls are twenty j two miles below its commencement and arc divi | ded by a small Island, called (loat Island, nt its grand leap. ‘Tin* American Fall: that nearest the Ameri can shore- -are 900 feet wide and lfi3 feet high. The Canadian or Horse Shoe Fall is 2,000 feet wide and lul feet high. The tide rushes over the precipice at (berate of one hundred million tons of water every hour. It is computed that | tho friction of the water wear; away the preej i pko about a foot every year and that tho Falla have gradually receded front Queenstdn, seven | miles below, to their present position. The river I at the Falls is three-qnarters of a mile wide. - Total d.>- opt from its Loginning to its end is 3.14 feel. The spots to be visited are the grounds where the memorable battle of Lundy's Lane wus fought, the whirlpool below the Falls; the sus pension bridge; tbe Devil's Hole and the Bloody Run : the Quoenston Height and Gen.

Solomon Coheiq of Savannah, whoso arrival and mission had been previously announced, attracted to Temperance llnil one of tho largest and most intelligent audiences it ever contained. Among thoso present, we were hap py to notice many gentlemen of tho Bell and Douglas partic.-, and we are pleased to bear tc tlmony that the whulo meeting, friend and foe, (in a political sense,) deported itself in the most rospectful and decorous manner. The speech of Mr. Cohen was such as was expected from his enlarged intelligence and great reputation. Cour - teous in an eminent and rare degree, to his oppo nents, he said nothing which could have grated upon the feeling* of the most sensitive. Differ ing from them widely as ho did upon the princi ples ot their several organizations, he was yet w illing to accord them tbegrentes purity of mo tive and patriotic intention. Ho took issue with the Opposition orators upon tho propriety and necessity of.pprfy plstfbfms, and most snccesaful ly demon druted the Inanity of tho “glittering generalities” upon which tho [Bell party cel, tho support ,f the American people. The Hon. speaker then took up Mr. F.verott, the associate of Mr. Bell, upon the Pro idential ticket, and af ter felicitously alluding to the probability, in event of election, of, the death of Mr. Bell, per tinently enquired of “Southern wm” what they had to expect of the Massachusetts orator, if, in the course id nature, the Presidential robes should full upon his shoulder. o . Unlike Mr. Hill, lie-aid nothing ot that Mt Vernon address, in which the living Abolitionist ■trews upon the tomb of tho dead slaveholder the choicest flower'’ of rhetoric and fancy, but from the inexorable record of facts demonstrated clenrlv’and satisfactorily, that Southern men hud le *a than nothing to expect from n man who, from the first years of his majority to tho silver created crown of old age, had proved himself to bo the unceasing uud uncompromising cuctnv of every right accorded by the Constitution to the clave holder, and his interest.;. Whuthcr ns tho profo .or iu an institution ol’ learning, or the officiating Priest of the Temple of the living God tho accredited Minister of a groat Republic to a foreign court, tho Secretary of State to the first Government in tho world, or tho peripatetic eulogDer of the Father of Ameri can Liberty; it was most incontestibly proved that in all these station -, amid all thee hanges and eielsgiUides of time.) and politics, he had been the unrelenting enemy of all and every right guaran teed by the Constitution of his country, to Iris Southern brethren in tho Confederacy. Tlie Hon. speaker then mmlo a close and con vincing argument a gain'd the dangerous and fal lacious doctrine of “popular overrignty/’n# ml vocatod by Mr. Dougla. From the most recent records and political histo ry, he showed that tier, Johnson, of Georgia, who, but n short time since, deelqrd that ho who would deny to the Southern laveholder hie right, under the (.'.institution, to tin* protection of his every right in parson and property, wa# n fool was now content, from one cud of tho country to the other, to “play second fiddle.” to tho man who, in every speech from Maine to Virginia, of fered proofsnfhls idiocy, that would depopulate every Insane asylum in tho country. Apnd ‘he long and foud continned ai.phuiKc of Hie auditory, the speaker cone hided h# addre* with an earnest apj.eal to nil men of all parties, to stand in this i-sue l.y their right -, and by those friend# who wcre.bcG able and m<* u l de sirous to maintain them. Julian Hartridge, Ksq., ol thn <ity of Havuniiah, wa* then introduced to the audience.

In toues that will net early die upon tlie ears of those who heard them, lie told hi hearer- that in thi* con test he wa* actuated alone l.y a desire to see placed upon firm and undisputed basis the equal right* of Georgia iu this Government, and thi foil, just and equitable rights of every son who honored her by hi# allegiance. And in de manding this, he reminded them that he wa - ask ing no concession* from other - that he was asking no sacrifice of right or principle, from the cohort# of UepnblU uiumu ia the North: no snfrender ol cherished sentiment- from oppo uents in the South and nothin” that lx- wa not willing to live l.y in the present and failing i< get, wa* unwilling to die for in the struggle which seemed hover in g oyn the lutnn With |t courtesy and fairne# that could u<i l>ecavilled at by the most captious, he reviewed the records of the past and the present position of the Dougla# und Bell partic North and South and demonstrated by he stubborn and unan aw arable array of Farts, that the Breckinridge ami Lane party wa# the only one that fairly mot the gage of battle thrown down by the Republi cans of the North, and upon the issue of which rested the future pence, equality and prosperity of tin- South Iri words of horning eloquence he denied and repudiated the idea, that the South bad yielded her rights in what Mr. Douglas and hi* triends were pleased to term the doctrine “non Inter vention.” He denied that her representatives had the uurhirity to bargain away such right* and proved by tin in trument itself, thut Bo fur from baling done >, they then and there estab lished a doctrine sound in principle and policy ami upon which tin Breckinridge and Lane party of tho country wdro now ready to go forth on and give battle, and in behalf ot which they were prepared to sacrifice everything savo honor. In reference to IMatforms the Speaker alluded to the platform adopted by the party nominating Breckinridge and Lane, showed how it had been altered and explained in defereneejo a. sense of right aud justice and in the hope that in this momentous issue i. would unite ns it should have done all men of the Smith In a cause that was common to all. Not the least applauded and most effective por tion of his speech was ju*t hen-, as in term# of withering and scathing reproach ho reforred to the fact that the Opposition party of Georgia had laid down a platform and resolved to sup port those who should come to Its requirements, ihatsinong the leaders of that parly were classed the tiHines of Hill, Bart-.w and Miller, and that when the friend* of Breckinridge ami Lane hud incorporated all flint wa# asked in their political creed, Bartow and Miller, like houe*t men as they are, stood by their declarations, while Hill preferring the arts of a demagogue, spurned the professions of an honest impulse, repudiated the declaration* of patriotism, and gloried in making plain to the world his own faithlessness in the weak uud puerile garb of M# nburd and insane sophistries. The tribute to Bartow was worthy alike to him who delivered U and to its honored recipient. In conclusion the speaker referred to the charge of disunion brought against the Breckinridge par ty, and as such charge seemed to hava derived Its weight for the position and prominence of Mr. \ ancey, proceeded nt once and ih stylo worthy of the occasion, to refute the slander. Hit eulogy “fMr. Yancey,earnest;feeling, proper amljtwt as it wa#, almost frenzied an audience in whoso affections that honorable gentleman holds a pfacc second to none, and at its conclusion the loioeof the speaker was for moments drownded in the spoutuucooj aud enthusiastic applause that fol lowed the mention of the name of the great tie of Southern rights Mr. Hartridge concluded with an eloquent and touching appeal to his hearers iu bclmlf of the honesty and sincerity which prompted his speech, and though comparatively n stranger in our community, we may safely eny that he has made friends who will dolight in tho future to honor so noble ami fearless an expounder of Southern rights and Southern equality.

If a State should secede for causes deemed by her sufficient, ho would proclaim eve ry citizen of hers a traitor for obeying her or dinances and decrees, send bis Marshal to catch nnd .bung him in spite of his allegiance to hid State. And to aid his Marshal in tho arrest, he would have himself _iotbd with power to send the Doited States Ariuy and Navy tosuhriueand rljaatizc the £tte and her people. This is what Old Hickory did nnd proposed to d", against tho Carolina Nullifiers. ! And who were tho Nußifiers ?

At that time, the name “ Whig” a* a party cognomen, a# adopted at Washington by the Op ponent.'’of Gen. Jackson, was unknown in Geor gia.

The Jubilant attitude of the AVhig party and their advancing position to General Jackson, on account of their comoftendationi of these Federal measures alarmed tho liemocruts. in-the triumph of these measures and outtiog down of the Nullifiers, the Democratic party could gain no strength, but must dose tbe only avenue open to them for the acquisition of party strength. The parties were then too nicely bal anced for comfort. Mr. Calhoun und the State Rights men held the balance. They could not unite with Whig*. Their very principle forbade it. They would not ort-operalc with Jackson Democrats, whilst the Proclemntit n and Force bill stood, ft was lielieved and charged that the principles of the Proclamation wore not General Jackdon'# principles, and that he was not the author ol it. but that Mr. Francis P.

The Sequel. 1 be bum an mind cannot c.uicoive a loftier ex ample of tho moral sublime, than that ofatann impelled by bis own sen so of duty and right, unawed by power, unmoved by the frowns and denunciations of parties, undeterred by conse quence?, standing alono unprotected, boldly pro claiming truth nnd defending it. Fuch way the pc tit iou c*f John*- 1 . FalhounSn the United St ate j Semite at this time. Even hi? anemic* admired him, and those who bated, en vied him. All parties coveted and i.fidtil tho bupport of such a man. ‘The body of the Nullifiers stood by him, because they believed in hia doctrines. They knew bis purity and could rely on his in tegrin. All panic knew there wn only one way to gain his co-operation. That was, to administer the government according to his views of its powers. Tho Whigs could not do this, because all their lending meant re .s were defended by latitude of construction and implied powers. He and bis friends were found voting with the Democrats, because they believed in strict construction and specified, dclincd powers, and tho reserved rights Os the State.-. But he did not unite with them in the Choice of men. To bring about a co-operation on this latter point, wa? whjit tbe Democratic party needed.— They could indy do jt by adopting a creed that be Would MiNtaiu To effect this, a meeting of the party was colled incanctii.

He was appealed to to draft something that would meet his view.-, lie did so, and as drafted, it was pre sented, nnd ax presented was adopted, as the Democratic faith. And so it remains to the pres ent day. Here Nullification vvyi burled docefttly by Its own friends who determined in any fbture crisis to leave the remedy to tbo aecedeie. N'fct long afterwards, in 1839, the Statu of Geor gia, for the first time, sent a full delegation to Congress, the chosen candidates of tbe State rights party, charged with tbe keeping and defending tho principles oT their party. Six out of nine joined tho Whig party, and were thenceforward called W'bige. The mass of the State rights par ty followed the six, and thereafter constituted the Whig party then And this was its origiu in Georgia, ihe other three uuiteii with the Re publican Democratic party. In tho sequel, however, ns occasion offered,ouc by one, aud filially tho mass of Georgia Whig*, denounced tbe Whig party, us unsafe and unre liable, and drifting lute abolitionism. Now why did the inane of the Whig patty run into abolitionism ? nnd what kept the ]>etuociil i<* party from if v The answer is this ; The latter wat restrained by a rule of strict construction, that forbid the e.vcn i-o ol powers not granted, aad yieldvd tWo reset ved to the Stale-.
