Taylor Meeting in Houston.
\i a pitting oI l^c °* Houston held in Per
. on the 16th inst., on motion of Gen. Eli Warren,
• a Lenrv was called to the Chair, and Silas Rawls,
„| pointed Secretary. When the ILm. C. B
flmPf' nt rc T lesl °* ll,e Chairman, Ftated the ob
tof the meefmi.aml moved the appointment of a
to iiiniitee to report resolutions in connection wiiii the
1 cta of the meeting. Whereon he Chair appointed
!i i * Strong, Geo. Warren, J. L Hill, Dr. Woodson,
niiii George W. Bivins that committee, who retired for
, rvV moments and reported through (Jen. Warren, th”
iW ;„2 resolutions w hich were unanimously adopted,
j Resolved* Thut in the nomination of Gen. Zach- !
„ry Taylor for h<* office of President of the United
‘-'Mies by the late National Whig Convention, the wish- j
fsaad feelings of u lurge potion of the American peo- |
us expressed by them nt various times, and in vari
ous ways** without dißimotiou of party, ns well ue the 1
()eil ,„t,-rests of Hie country were consulted and res- j
pected, and that wo will give him our united aud lieurty j
upp° rt - .
2 Resolved, iiiat in selecting an individual to dis
charge die dunes of the high and responsible office of
preaideiltof the United States, we should look to his
dreds, Ids ads, for evidence of Ins qualifications |
u, id patriotism, and not to promises and pledges of fu
(iire good conduct, wliicii can be ns w. ll made by one
man a? another, and are l lie re lore no evidence of (i ness
j ur office. Great and good acts aJJ'urd i vide nee of
great minds and sound hearts, nod none hut those pos
sessingwch minds and such hearts siiould be intrusted
by thf people with the executive administration of this
government. Fair pro mires and pledges, too often
made by the unworthy for the sake of getting into office*
are no proofs i*f either greatness of mind or soundness of
heart. Washington went into the Presidential Chair
untrainelled by pi onuses und pledges, and free to act for
the good of the whole people, and with a publicly ex
|,reused distrust by himself of his fitness for the office,
and yet he discharged its duties in a manner to promote
the best interests of his country. We have every con
fidence that Gen. Taylor would do so too. His past
arts, Ins glorious deeds which have won the hearts ol
the American people aud excited the wonder and nd*
mir.tion of the world, are a sufficient pledge for the ■
future, for his future good conduct. We w ant no other
pledge from him —for none other so mush to he relied
on could be given by him or any sue else.
3. Resolved, That since the wonderful victories of j
Gen. Taylor on the bloody battle fields of Mexico; and
which were won by the unsurpassed valour, skill und
judgment of that illustrious General, and which showed
the greatness ol his mind, the energies of his character,
and his devotion to his co mtry, we have seen nothing
in his history, conduct or character, to lessen the confi
dence of the American people in him, or to diminish
their affection for him, which at oue time seemed to be
alike shared and participated in by the whole people
without distinction ol party. . We are surprised now so
see a portion of that same people opposing his election
to an office, which at one time, all seemed to be desir
ous to bestow upon him for iiis past services to his
country, and which services they were then willing to
take as a sufficient pledge for lulure good conduct in
the service of the country. Moreover, he has expressed
his determination to administer the government, if
elected, for the good of the whole people and not for the
benefit of any particular party. This it seems to this
meetingshouM satisly all who love their country better
than party. „ • - •
4. Resolved, That the political opinions expressed
by Gen. Taylor in his celebrated Allison letter are those
that were entertained and acted upon by Washington
Jefferson, Madison and Monroe, and meet our hearty
approbation, and none do we approve of more heartily ‘
than his opposition to the one man power, as therein ex- |
pressed, and his desire to see tlte will of the people
as expressed through their representatives, carried oO t
in their legislation so long as they keep themselves in
the pale of the Constitution and do not commit acts oj
hasty and inconsiderate legislation. Kings and mon
arclis alone are expected to be found in opposition to
these doctrines—the people should approve of them
every where, tor without their maintainance they have
no security tor their rights agamst the usurpations of
their rulers.
5. Resolved, That we will give our cordial support j
to the Honorable Millard Fillmore tor tiie office ol Vice
President of the United States,and that opposition to j
him tor the second office on the score of his opinions
on the subject of slavery, when he has said “ I disavow
unequivocally, now and forever, any desire to inter .
sere with the rights, or ichat is termed, the property
of the Southern States comes with a very Uid grace
from those who support for the Presidency Gen Cass,
who has suid, “ 1 am uo slave-holder, 1 never have been,
1 never shall be. I deprecate its existence in principle
and pray for its abolition every where, when this can
be effected justly, and peaceably, and easily tor both par
ties, ’ aud who was in tiivor of the Wdrnot proviso un
til he tound it necessary in his Nicholson letter to pi of ess
a change ol sentiment on that subject, as we believe, to
get the Southern vote lor the Presidency.
6. Resulted, That we invite tliacuae on with our po- !
lineal opponents at such ume as may he agreed on by
both p trues, oil fair, honorable and equal terms, and
that in such discuss on we will show tliat which we re- j
ally feel, respect lor their feel inns and opinions.
7. Resolved , That we will all honorable means
to secure the election of Gen. Taylor and Mr. Fil'more
to the Presidency and Vice Presidency of the United
States, and Col. James S. Cnlhoun to Congress in this
the second Congressional district, and that for that pur
pose the Chair appoint a Central Committee of 9 per
sons whose duty it shall be to procure and furnish to the |
people sucii documents as may be deemed necessary for
a proper understanding of the principles and actions o 1
the two great parties in the Union.
After the adoption of the foregoing resolutions, Col-
Houghton of Florida being present was called on,and ad
dressed the meeting with great power and eloquence,
and for which the thanks of the meeting were unani
mously and cordially tendered him. Judge Strong also
addressed the meeting in his usual happy style.
It was then resolved that the proceedings of this
meeting lie published in the Journal & Messenger, A1
bany Courier, and Columbus Enquirer.
The meeting then adjourned to meet on the first Sat
urday in next month, in Perry.

die members and concluded by presenting to the meet
ing Cul. Allen F. Owen, the W hig Candidate for

Col. Owen tidressed the meeting in a speech replete
I with sound sense and solid argument. He is evidently fa
miliar with every issue before the people,as well as with
the history ol parties both Stale and National. Through
out his entire speech, he evinceda spirit of manly mod
eration and a conciliatory tone,which were alike pleas
ing to his friends and opponents.
Dr. fra K. Dupree ot Twiggs, w.i* next called for,
and responded iti a speech, which was recieved amid
the most tumultuous applause. He had thought of not j
supporting Old Zac, and had been so jiuldisheri. espe-!
cially in the Democratic papers. He had been the fust
Clay man in Georgia, and loved the veteran Orator so
much, that he had thought he never would vote for any ’
other ; hut the times were alarming—a crisis was upon
the country—oven a Southern Democrat had foiled to’

To the t'heerirmn mid members of the Dent.
oerat Association of Bibb County*
I have been in'ghtily flustrated of late, and 1 come to
you for “aid and comfort.” When you built that “plat
form in Macon last May, I thought it was the very ‘
thing we wanted. I took my stand upou it at once, 1
“ttvl so did a good many democrats out here where I
! live. We all said, now we have got a firm foundation
toßtandon, thanks to our good friends in Macon.—
Well, we were all standing on that “platform” you
built for us, as I told, you, aud we endeevored to get as
many on it as we could, and tiie more we got on it, the 1
stronger we felt. Butuftera while there come along a
little follow ami the first thiog we knowed, up he jump- ’
od too. Well, said I, my good follow, I'm mighty glad
to see you up here on this platform—l hope you'll make
yomselfat home.
“Tiiis is my position,said he, anti upou it I shall stand
or fell.”
That's right said I—go it my little one, said another.
Well, slranger, said I, I hope we shall be better ac
quainted—what moat your name bes
Eitick Stephens, said he.
What! said I, that Ellick Stephens, tliat goes to
Congress!
The same, said he.
Did you ever see rats scampering off from a liarn on
fire? The way we jumped off that “platform” was a
caution, I tell you, I got off jest as quick as I could, and
here they come tumbling after me—men never run tas
ter from a Magazeen on fire. And there we left him
standing, louking as saucy as old Nick himself “ I
stand upou the principles of this resolution ” said he, it
is the true ground in my opinion lor Southern men to
occupy.”
Well, we scampered off (hr best way we could, and
got behind a Fort-ification you built at your last meet
ing, but what do you think the little fellow did ! Why,
he ehook his fist at the Fort-ification, and down it tum
bled. And now here we are, with nothiug to staud on
and nothing to protect us, and what's to become of us
is more than I can tell. I’m afraid he will have no
mercy on us. II you have got any “aid and comfort” lor
us poor fellows, now's the time to give it, for we are in
a sorry predicament I assure you. We have all been so
skeered since tiiat little fellow run us off our platform,’
that we don 1 know how matters and tilings are getting
on f Do send us the latest news from Washington.
How is our glorious President getting on f We know
that he will stick to our platform through thick and
thin—it he was to leave it, it would be a gone case with
us sure enough. Bat we have no fears for him. “Sink
or swim—live or die —survA-e or perish” he’ll stick to
the plaiiortu. There's no back out in “ young Hick
ary. ” SAM PATCH.
COMWPMICATED.
The Democratic party are endeavoring to make cap
ital to help their sinking cause, by charging upon the
Whigs the defeat of the late “surrender Bill” in Con
gress, for political purposes. They have charged that a
meeting of Southern and Nor'Jierii Whigs was had, and
it was then agteed, that those Whigs who represented
strong Districts, should vote against the Bill. This
charge has been denied upon the Hoor of Congress, and
by the public pleas No such meeting was ever held,
and no such understanding made. Mr. Stephens has
been denounced in particular, as “ a traitor,” as a.
” second Arnold,” as a “ betrayer ol Southern rights,’
for his vote, and no excuse will be received for the act.
Show them the facts—and the only reply which they
make is, he voted against his colleagues, and against
the Southern members, and that therefore he has be
trayed the South I Very well: according to this rule,
let us see presently if they judge others 1 Mr. Ste
phens opposed this “bill of surrender” because, it gave up
all of Oregon to the North, as a free territory, and gave
nothing to the South. It simply proposed that we should !
litigate before the Supreme Court, our rights to go to
Mexico and California with our Slaves; and that Court ■
lias already decided the question against us. But he l
was willing to vote for any measure winch gave a fair,
share of that territory for the South. Most of the j
Nordicrn democrats voted for this Bill.
A few days after the Senate pa-aid a Bill of Compro
mise, by which all the country South of 36° 30’ was
guaranteed to be slaveholding, and all North non- j
slaveholding. Here was all that the South has ever I
asked—to get the Missouri Compromise line, and to |
know certainly what she was to have. For lilts Bill
every slaveholding Senator, Whig and Democrat, save
two, voted, while every slaveholding representative in
tile House voted for it. It was the great measure the
South had all die w hile desired. The two Senator*
who voted against ir, were Jolm C.Cslbouu, and Mr.
Wescott.
Mr. Calhoun votes against his colleagues in the Se n
ate and in the House, and against the whole South
He does all that Mr. Stephens has done, and a gres- ‘
deal more—Mr. Stephens opposes the “ surrender bill,”
whtch sacrifices one half of the country certainly, and
moat probably all. Mr Calhoun opposes the Coinproi
mise Bill, winch givesut all ths South has ever asked
and what hr has himself before advocated. It would
have given power to the distracting question, and it
! once a law,and Gen Tuyiftr President, it would never
‘be re|weled Now, since Mr Stephens has been de
nounced so bitterly, will the Democratic press, also
denounce Mr. Calhoun ( Will they call him a traitor
a second Arnold f W ill these politics I tricksters assail
and drnounce Mr Calhoun ? No, they dare not do it
they will apologize for him—” win in and out,” any
thing but judge him by the sunn- rule, lluu they jud e
othrta by.
They little thought when they were judging Mr Ste
phens so severely, that Mr. Caliiouu iu a lew days
wuuld fall under their own condemnation.
Il is said, that Mr Strphenswas alone differing with
all his colleagues, who were in favor us die “ sur
render Bill.” This is not lru< they voted against the
motion lu lay on the table, but wished lo discuss die
hill, mid when it came upon its passagr, Messrs
Toombs, King.and Junes wuuld have voted against it!
An undeistanditig bad been hod among die Casa lieni
oernts, dial they should vote tor it, to help llteir friend
ill Itisquarrel with Van Buren.snd hence, the Georgia
Democrats would hove voted font. Ant tins is the
aiify agreement, caucus,or whatever it may he called
winch washad. That Mr. Stephens'course was right)
experience has now proved When the “ surrender
Bill” was before the House, the Northern Democrats,
nearly all voiad for il —when the Compromise It II came
up I.icy all opposed it. The reason is cle.tr—they be- !

flint the Houth, and they supported the tali—tliev eji- j

When I left home a frw weeks smer, I determined to
j ascertain if possible, the true state of feeling in the dif
ferent sections through which I should pass. To do
j this I propounded two questions to every mun with
whom I iiiei.aitd had the opportunity. First il he knew
. any one who voted for Mr. Clay, that would now vote
lor Mr. Cuaaf Tbiaquestion with but one exception,
was answered in rhe negative, and that in Narcochre
Valley, Habersham county. About two miles from tiie
same place, J met with an intelligent Whig, who told
me tiie* man with whom I had been conversing was art
ultra Democrat, and if there wns any sucii mail in that
iieigivborhood who voted lor Clay,that would now vote
lor Cass, he did not know him, nor did he believe there
w nanny such there, or m tiie county. The other ques
tion propounded to every man I met was, if he knew of
uuj man who voted for Mr. Poik, that wigdu now vote
i fur ( ''' n - Taylor—this question with but tw o exceptions
wnannswered in the affirmative. In Murray county, X
asked this question in tiie presence of several, w hen a
• young nan replied, my lather there ia om—The father
said he should doso because he bethought the interests
i of tiie country demanded it, and dial there were sever

fn Cass county, I stayed ail uiglit with a man of
wealth and infhienc*, of whom I asked the same ques
tion In-replied, tiiat fee was one, (kat be wns,and al
ways had keen a Democrat, but that he intended if life
. lasted, lo vote tor Gen. Taylor, and do all lie coaid lor
! him—that lie thought the interest of Ida country requir
ed him to lay aside hia former party prejudices, (Ind go
[ for the South, bis hotne, as the issue wns now North or
.’■'until, or” negro or no negro ;’’ he said lie believed if
In-wished to do so, that he hatfta right to take uiane
gioes and move to any Territory lie wish* and. belonging
1° ‘he United States. (1 should like to know how la- tied*
town ui# Mr. Polk since his signature aud sanction of
; tiie Wilnmt Proviso in the Oregon'Bill;— that he look-
I od upon it as belonging m all, und that one timl the same
rigid lo carry his negroes there as another hadio carry

ill lienty county, 1 Kiel with a young man travelling
‘heroad,of whom ] made the same enquiry—lie said Ins
, ihiltei s family were all Democrats, and that they said
I Gen. Taylor was 4 great man, and he believed they in
’ tended lo vote for him; ns for Wimselflie was too young’
I but if he was old enough he would be certain to do it
In Butts county, I stepped nt a work shop to make
1 some enquiry about the roads—the man after giving the
information desired—said,stranger you look like you
1 have been travelling a long journey, can’t you tell me
something about how the folks where you hpvcboen
talk about President? 1 told hitn I wae then direct
from lire Stone Mountain, where the Democrats had a
large meetings few days since, and that I wnsastou
lsbed to find so many Taylor men among them—that I
could hear almost as many shouts for Taylor as Care
he said llu wasn Cass man—l asked him why he support
ed Cass ia preference to Taylor? He said because Tay
lor was opposed to tiie Veto power, and ‘bathe never
would vote for any man who was opposed to it. 1
asked him if he had ever read Gn. Taylor’s fetter on
lhat subject—said he had not—l then naked him if he
could read,said he could— I then asked bun how be
knew Ge. ’Taylor was opposed lo it—said a certain,
neighbor, naming him, said so—l then asked him if he
would hear Gen Taylor’s viewson thnt subject and
eials to taecandi dy what he thought ol them—said he
would—l then gave him his views with which he seem
ed to be well satisfied, and said that he would read and
examine hereafter tor himself, and that he believed he
sltonld vote lor Taylof. In Union a ipadfng Demo
crat of the courtly told me that he knew two Demo
crats who had been in the army with Gen Tin lor, and
that they would vote for him.
I lound the great effort and object of tiie Democrats
ill the up-country as well a* here, is lo keep the party
together.
In my travels, 1 heard of a few Clay Whigs who
were so much dissatisfied with hia defeat in the
Convention that for a time they thought they would
be neutral, but tiie recent development# of the
Utica und Buffalo Conventions ltave brought them al
most to a man lo the aopport of Gen. Taylor, and most
ol them warmly. By the election in November, I fee*
confident there will be none, no not one auch in Geor
gia. Bhould this meet the eye of one such, I would say,
that your neutrality only add# strength so Cass, that if
you have made a hasty and bad resolve, break it-; as
your present interest and the interest ol posterity de
mand it. Let the South be united and all is safe—
“ united we stand, divided we fall.”
Allow me in conclnaion to say unless those who live
iuthe different counties through which lpaased.are
themselves deceived, the vote in November, will aston
ish the most sanguine of both parties. C.

by its own merits, been rapidly, surely, anti aofely
working its way through the opposition of quacks and
counterieiters, until, by its true value, Rti.t intrinsic
excellence, it has gained for itself a most env table pop
ularity, and established itself in the confidence of an
. intelligent and enlightened public, from one end of the
continent to the other. The testimony of thousands
who have been relieved and curetl bv this valuable ar
