: that the best interests of the
country were in danger and they were
dim: to forget past differences to effect

was no sacrifice on either side 6f for-
-*, T principles. Again, S. knqwsdiat
• i the rule with party to reward its
s.bcrents, not the quiet, unobtrusive
fanner, merchant, or mechanic, that
Tn’etlv <roes to the polls and votes from
principle. No, no, they are a good

relied on, no necessity to. reward such
With the spoils. But these loud mouth-
<vi politicians, demagogues; these fob
eiinters with shelala in hand, pot house
politicians, these must- have the fat of
fices and the surplus money, of the-
people: and why, because they will
desert us and go over to the other side,
unless they are paid. Is it necessary
to refer to election riots, the blood
shed at the polls, the thousards bf-qui
cl unobtrusive natives that .have been
driven from the polls rather than mi ti
de with and press through a. crowd of
half drunken foreigners with sticks
bowie-knives and pistols in hand?
But S. may never have siren this. He
ir.av never have felt his blood boil-at
such desecration, nor his cheek tinge
with shame, that such were the scenes
to be witnessed at the boasted Ameri
can ballot-box. Again, to relieve from
Me Mr.iidomof mere party, the secret
feature as to membership was an abso-
Ete necessity. We for one believe
: tt it would be an absoluta impos
sibility to organise a party
would ever hope for success upon
aroj other plan as things and parties
now are. Suppose the Democrats, were
publicly everywhere to avow their de
termination to effect just what this*
in i di el iminated party intend to do.
Strong aud powerful ..s they are, do
you think they would meet with suc
cess? If you do, you either have much
greater faith in their prowess, or much
3cm in those principles than O. P.
Q. has. No, they would be defeated
everywhere, and this toey know. And
so changing the order, would it result
with whigS. The other party would ally
itself with the foreigner and you would
be routed everywhere. It is party in
stinct thus to act. It is the demon of
Party at which the hand of that young
giant is raised. Not so much that the.
Catholic is feared from his numbers,
but from his power. His power is as
great as if his numbers were treble
what they are, through the corruption
'■■ party. His cuuuing is fully equal
to the occasion, of which passingevents
every day witness.
From which considerations in part
it least, good men and true, with a wise
and considerate forecast have devised,
and their compeers are carrying out
tins famous plan for the relief of tlie
country. And if, for them the prop
erly constituted authority cannot con
struct a platform conservative and safe,
upon which good and true men every
where can stand, then indeed We fear
t at the hope oF the Union is gone.
Are these legitimate issues?
Wc answer S’s question-abont Know
Nothing Editors thus. That the press
es that advocate the' American princi
ples number huudreds for every one
of all other secret orders put together,

Savannah Republican, Recorder, Ath-

ana many others in this State advocate
the doctrines of the American party
and all with the names of their editors.
We will not go out of the State to enu
merate them. Are these irresponsi
ble sources? Is S. answered on this
point? Now will lie quit launching at
shadows and answer us? What pa
pers of this party that he has seen have

Closes another fling at the midnight

thyh'ght queries.’ ‘ ' - -
W -sen we wish to know of S his
reasons for stating that the Know.
Fiotl.ings load sokl out their ipdepen-
oencx he replies bv instituting
savera. other queries/ This is an
easy way to ev.yde the point. But
Mtvertneless he shall be gratified to
some extent at leash His first query
party we*cannot fell him* for tHesim*
pie reason that we do not know our
selves—perhaps wlren the proper titne
arrives he will know quite as early*as
we shall. As to his last, about invi
ting the public to witness its deliber
ations, we shall turn his own battery
against him. Are the* public invited
to witness the deliberations of the
grand or petit jury rooms, the contents
of the ballot-box^ the councils .of the
cabinet or the secret sessions of the
Senate? On, but there are wise reasons
of State for all this. So there are far
the other too.* And that portion.
invited are as much entitled to the ap
pellation t/ie ublic, as that offe. and his-
fiiemb.! Perhaps S did not think of
this. Perhaps he did not tlfink that
such queries also smell pretty strong
of Paul PfVism. The allusion to tne
scuttle fisli is unfortunate, unless S.
had chosen to write over his own name.
That fish raises the mud to darken the
water that he may escape. O, P. .Q.
has simply come forward to answer the
voluntary attack upon a party and
persons that have not molested him,
but dared to think without him and to
think.before Mr. Stephens and other
party*leaders thought for them. And
this'is the higlit of their offending that
they ventured to think and act-for
themselves, without consulting" lead
ers; place-men and demagogues. And
for such presumption they can never
expect forgiveness,
S. cluirges upon us the marshalling
of clap-trap and adeaptafidums. ; We
have Another query for him. Will he
undertake in his next to point one out?
We doubt it. But S. passes on to a
consideration of the alleged principles
of the order. Alleged, and by whom;
only by-'the order lt-is presumed. Do
not Democrats and Whigs and others
allege their principles—this hated or
der, have onlv done the same; or S.
could-not attack them after having
blamed them for not doing it. Oh,,
•consistency! Nay; lie endeavors to
state the position of the party fairly 7 he
says; strange.-they are first condemned
for having no principle or avowing
none, and when the catalogue of abuse
is'run out for not avowing principles;
they are then berated soundly lor hav
ing certain principles. .One of which
is opposition to- Catholics, says 6
Where did he find this out ? from an
irresponsible source? But-, neverthe
less this awkward dilemna S. essays to
prove that Know-Nothings, by refu
sing to vote lor Roman Catholic’s ‘'in
terfere with them in the enjoyment of
their religious views and privileges.’
And how is this to be proven, by quo-
tins' that famous paragraph of the con
stitution which deserves the ad
miration and adhesion of all' men,
which says, “Congress shall make no
law respecting an establishment of re
ligion. or prohibiting the free exercise
tin-M-of/ Are we to be told that w e
are making a law to establish a religion
because we refuse to vote fev Roman
that Catholics, t i ia t for the same reason, we
prohibit the free exercise thereof? Is
this reasoning? is this logic. If so we
have, r.e'dd to go back to our school
books again to learn the meaning and
use of these terms. It is for the very
reason that we fear Catholic ascenden
cy may blot from that fair charter of
freedom, this luminous paragraph, that
we have resolved to vote as we have.
And when we iqake this and similar
statements we. are tauntedovith the sil-
lyness of our fears; biit at the same
time the greatest imaginable fear is
expressed that the Native-born Pro
testant population are going to despoil
the Constitution and ruin the country
bv refusing to vote for Catholics. Ohe!

. [COMMUNICATED.] - *
Thonghts Suggested by the Times.
In several foregoing papers, under
this head, we briefly glanced at vari
ous matters of kindred interest to the,
people of Georgia and of the country
generally, The prospective subver
sion of our free institutions by foreign
Catholic influence—the necessity of
vigilance and activity on the part of
Kative Americans in order to avert
this calamity—the importance of bring
ing to our aid all other forces as far'as
possible, which are hot as yet commit
ted to any-antagonist interest—Imd ’the
particular necessity for harmony of ac
tion between the friends of Native
Americanism and the Mends o'f Tem
perance—as-also for a similar concert
of action between the two wings of the.
Temperance arany,—are the topics
which ’ we have presented for phbiic
consideration. ’ ;
There is one question however,
which still remains to be considered.
How carr these several objects be best
promoted ? How can these several in
terests be made to harmonize id' their
political developehrents, as they really
and essentially do, in their nature and
tendencies ? W hat line of policy now
promises most fully to meet tlie hopes
and wishes of those good patriots, who’
unhesitatingly agree upon* the'ends ne
cessary id be achieved,* and yet are
doubtful about the means that ought
to be used in this emergency. Upon
this point, we are are that there
are conflicting opinions, , W.e -confess
that there are,many things at present
to embarrass “an hpnesfejjpan (politically,
we mean) in his attempts fo settle this
important question/ Old parties falling
to pieces, tlie elements of which are in
a state of restless' agitation-—seeking
new affinities atrd new- arrangements
in other systems—far seeing patriots
•raising their voice of warning in tones
of wildness, "with which nothing but a
real sense of danger could inspire'them
—and old party leaders, the' mean,
while, with the air and address of con
su mate demagogues, countenvarniug
to.-deterraineat once what course he
ought to-take in. the premises, But
amidst all ‘this Jbabbiing contusion, we
naturally look for some simple ele
mentary' truth' as a clue taguide us out
of thedkbyrinfli. The question .then
with us is,.whether there be a man in
the field or . out of it,’ whose' creed em
bodies one plain, practical, vital, funda
mental principle—one which we can
all understand, and one whieh we all
ackfiowledge to be‘of paramount im
portance ? ’ Can such a mau be found ?
Can he be had as our leader in these
times of political agitation—these days
oftrotible find danger*? For oqr own
part, after, a careful survey of the.en
tire field of strife Ave concfude that un
less we can rally around some such
man as this, the friends of liberty and
of public, virtue can have but little to
hope for in .the future. But have we
no\jiistsuch. a m>jn in the person of
B. H. Overby? Does he not embody
in his political creed some one plain
elementary principle, the meaning of-
which we all understand, arkl the im
portance of whiclu we all feel and ac
knowledge? Let us euquire into this
a Utile... B. II. Overby lays it down,
as a fundamental point—a controlling
point in hiserped .that the Legislature
cf Georgia has no right to license "a
man to do any thing that is wrong. It
has no right to say to any man that ten
or twenty dollars it will sell him leave
to follow”any business which robs the
helpless, which palsies- the strong arm
of industry—which dims the bright
intellect—which corrupts the pure
heart—brings millions to temporal
wretchedness, and. millions more-to a
grave of infamy. Upon this ground,
he demands a repeal.of the liquor li
cense as it exists iii this State. Does
he claim too mupl) ? Few men can be
found-who will assert this. The peo
ple of Georgia know that we have, re
ally, no.more business with liquor li
cense than we have with a murder li
cense, ora robbery license, or a license
to sell arsenic-lozenges to our neigh
bor’s children. All sensible men kno\V
,thac there is as- much reason and jus
tice in the one as the other.
It is no extenuation that the buyer is
said to be a rational responsible being,
and that he ought to be his own guaV-
dian. Whatever he may have been at
first-,'he soon becomes any thing else
but a rational being, and unfit to be his'
own guardian. Nine tenths of the li
quor, 0 that is sold to them after they
reach a slate of intoxication. In that
condition they are not competent‘to
make their, own contracts. Therefore
the money obtained from them at such
times is effectually stolen. It is worse
than stolen: The dram seller not only
takes the poor victims hard earnings
for a valueless equivalent—bat for oue
which proves the ruin of him, body and
soul. As to the simple question ot
drinking spirituous liquors, that is not
the matter now at issue: It is the
question of soiling it, that now con
cerns the people of Georgia. It there
were no traffic in the article the evils
of drinking would be comparatively
insignificant. It is the traffic which
sweTls -the evils c>f drinking into such
fearful magnitude. The eivil authori
ties, therefore, deeming it hurtful to so
ciety have, as much right to restrict it
as they have tv forbid the sale of cer
tain fruits, iu our cities, "during the pre-
valenc of Cholera.
Nor let it be said that it is a moral
question, and therefore an unfit subject
for legislation. It is transcendsu.tly
ludicrous to hear this plea coming from
a man of lloary hairs, and one whose
head has been honored by the imposi
tion of Holy hands. So puerile and
so full of impiety 1 Surely the old
man clerical, who set up this defence
for ‘spirnlal wickedness^ iu low places,
must here have ripened'suddenly into a
low and exquisitely luscious dotage.
Is it not right io legislate upon the
subject of forgery—arson—burglary—
larceny aud murder? These are all
moral questions. But it is not as mor
al questions that these or the liquor
traffic are proper subjects of lcgistuiiofi.
Tlie Legislature regards them a& social
questions—as questions affecting the
good-of society,. As such law-makers
are false to their oaths,' and traitors to
their country, if they do not bring them
within the scope of a wholesome iegis-'
lation. The people moreover are lit
tle less than traitroiis il they do not Hold
then: candidates up to the strictest tests
in reference to this momentous inter"
est. Who then will not acknowledge,
that there is upon him an obligation of
paramount force—to .support B. H.

The Europea'n News.—The news
from the seat of war that reached
Washington yesterday forenoon, has,
remarks the Star, created much excite
ment in political circles—foreign and
domestic—in this, giving rise -to ail
conceivable speculations With reference
to the future of the war. and, in a great
measure, changing tile expectations of
persons among us who have steadily
“kept the-run’, of t-hp events of tlie
contest. The stock oftthe allies has of
course risen a hundred per centum, yet
many in Washington, among whom
we mav class most of the long heads,
doubt the truth of nnibh of the phase
whi.ch the steamer’s adviees put on the
events it tells of. The hesitancy in
crediting the alleged extent of the ad
vantages gained, by the allier, their-
importance &c., arises from the fact
that up t<i.this time; the first accounts
of the nominal advantages of-(he allies
have always proved to have been
enormously exaggerated. It is evi-
dent-to u-i that it will require the
official report from St. Petersburg to
satisfy those around us .that matters hi
and about the Crimea have taken" the'
turn which these accounts -say they
have taken the Russian accounts up to,
this time having invarably proved far
more co.Tect than those pf ‘ their. foes.*
