The Organ of Senators Hunter, Butler, and Douglas, ou Pierce. The Washington Sentinel says: Franklin Pierce has been weighed in the balance Had found wanting—wanting in every element of the statesman or the political sage. Stripped of his hypocritical professions of disinterestedne.-s and love for the people, he stands before us one of the veriest demagogues ot the age, talking of nothing, writing ot nothing, thinking of nothing, but the advancement of his own private affairs. “ Cau any of the living, or could any of the dead, if they were restored to life, testify in favor of one bold, o mistakeable blow on the side of the constitution aud the rights of man ? “ He turned out of office every politic'an in ihe State or’ New York who was not favorable to the interests of ; Martin Van Buren and his abolition confederates. “He established a press in Washington city, and J directed every man depending upon him for bread and j meat, to devote his leisure hours to extravagant eulo- J gies ot his administration. “He commanded his agents throughout the country us attend all the primary conventions, and see to it that delegates should be chosen favorable to his ra aomination. “ He issued many proclamations of his intentions to I regard the equalitv of the States and the compromises j ot the constitution ; nevertheless. he suffered uiob law to run riot iu the Terii'ory of Kaos*, for many a month, and dared not, tor fear of i.juring his prospects lbr the Presidency, exert the power which he admitted was lodged in hi- bands. Instead of quelling disorder in Kaunas, according tn his oath of office*—according t* the •nustuutieu and laws ot the land, and according to the right which he admitted he possessed—be called upon Congress for wrbnritj to do iht which nobody and übted he bad >he nght to do. His only object was te make a pompous display before the country, and avoid responsibility from which it was impossible to relieve Imiiselt. “He abolit't>D : zed, bv his treatment of National Democrats, hall a dozen Northern States of the Union. “He telegraphed to New York city to prevent Amer* iB citizens leaviDg our snores to settle in Central America. .“He and his Aitoraey General talked learnedly of a war with England, and still suffered the “mother •r>untn u to gam a great advantage in the final settle soc-ut of the most important political question of the age. WLo does not ln'u: that the antagonism of thoua ards of our own party in New Hampshire to him, atid jfc.l iliur'y to hisu, is the true cause of this repeated disasters Socthbhm Emiuhatio*.—By general evinsent, AUh iasen baa heu tiUd upon as the headquarteis for all emigrants tr< m the riou'b.

Ppri K's New Veumun os Yakkek Doodlx.—Punch nelades hia report of the Coben and Palmerston de bate in the House ©f Cerumens, on the American qoes tiae, with the following version of the American an them, as now sung by Mr. John Bull: “ Yankee Doodle, do net frowe, Though you’re brisk and bony; The jewels in Victoria’s crown Ain’t paste or macoroai. London is a pretty town, So is Philadelpny • You shall have a sugar plant, A4 riihare ose myselfy.’ from ihe Savannah Journal. ffnln Trunk Railroad. Sataxnaß, March 18tb, 1856. Aro. B. H*ssell, £sq., Thomnsville; Dear Sir— l received, to day, your letter of the 18th March. You ask tnv views in relation to the location of tbe-Main Trunk Railway, and that you mar be al lowed to ahow my replv to your letter to such friends as vou may think proper. That tny cpinious ou this interesting :übiect may be perfectly understood, it is necessary for me to make some introductory re minks. That portion oi the territory ol Georg.a, commonly called “South-Western Georgia,” lying between the Chattahoochee und Fiint rivers, below Ataericus, and Eastward of the Flint, towards the Okefer.okec ftwamp I and the Aitsmaha river, has been, up to this time, not ouiy without Railroads but without the prospect of aid from the State to build them. Applications for a'.d to extend the South-Western Railroad to a point midway be.ween Fort Gaines and Albany, and still further down, have, more than once, been unsuccessful. At the last session ol tho Legislature, a bill was reported to give State aid to the Br unswick and Florida Rail road Company, which after having been amended, b’- inserting like provisions for the Savannah, Albany & Gull Rauroad Company, passed the Senate. In the House ot Representatives, that bill was lo3t. There was a failure, also, to obtain State aid for other enter prises in the Northern part of the State. In the course ot discussion, on this subject ot State aid to Railroads, it become manifest that there was but one section ot the Slate to which tbe Representatives of the people were inclined to extend assistance. Thai section was the South Western. At the instance of the Senator : from Mclntosh county, a joint committee was raised to j consider the propriety of rejrorting n bill which should ) provide for establishing a commou Trunk or line of ; Road from the Chattahoochee river to the vicinity ot ! the Altamaha. The object was to compose the various \ conflicting interests which had been exhibited within | and nbou’ the region of country itself, which claimed I the favorable notice ol the members of the Legislature. ’ The consequence of this timeiv and judicious move uitnt was the enac.ment of the law to incorporate s company to provide for the establishment of what is called the Mam Trunk BaUway. ...... „ The act of Incorporation has been published in all the newspapers ot this city, and its provisions are al ready familiar to the people. In the 4th section of the act, it declare* “ that the said Company shall be author “ ized, and is hereby declared to have full power to “ build, construct and maintain a Rail) oad for the trans “ portaiiou ot produce merchandize, and passengers, “from a point as neat as practicable to the intersection “of the lines of the counties of Appling, Ware and “ VYavne, crossing theSatrlla river at or near Walker s “ Ferry, in the vicinity of Waresboro’, and thence by “ the most practicable route to the Western boundary “of th State oi Georgia, at anv point between Fort i “ Gaines, in tbe county of Early, and the junction ot j “ the Flint and Chattahoochee rtrens in. the county ot i “Decatur, said western terminus to be selected by the | “directors after an accurate survey, and estimates of . “cost, shall have been made, and with distinct refer | “enee to a speedy connection with the Gulf of Mexico, • at Mobile or Pensacola.’’ And in the 6th section of the aot, the following words appear, viz: “It being the intention of the State of “ Georgia, by this act to provide a Main Trunk Rail “ way across the territory, connecting tbe Atlantic ” with tbe Gulf of Mexico.’’ A subscription of six hundred thousand dollars must be made by the people, and of five hundred thousand dollars by"ih*State, uuder this chatter, before tbe Di rectors, who are to fix the common line, can be elected, it is therefore, beyond the power of any one to say what will be tbe precise location of the Common, or Main line, Westward of Walker’s Ferry. The Direc tors, when chosen, are, however, distinctly bound up to a certain extent. There are limits to tbeir authori ty, which they must respect. They must carry the line from Walker’s Ferry to the Western bank of the Chattahoochee i_the Western boundary of Georgia) by “the most practicable route,” having “distinct refer ence” in fixing the Western terminus “to a speedy counectioa with tbe Gulf of Mexico at Mobile or Peu sacola.” The main line will begin at that point of the Little Sat Jla river, which is crossed by the South line ot Ap pling county —because that is the point of intersection of the tines ot thecounties of Appling, Ware and Wayne It mutt thence run to Walkers Ferry, on the Satilla River, near Waresboro’, and it will probably run to Ware-boro’. The great question is, now shall it pro ceed Westwardlv of Waresboro’? Walker’s Ferry bich tor con veuiei.ee, as it is not marked on Bonner’s Map, I will cull heiealter, Waresboro’,; is a fixed point on the Mam Trunk, by the charter, and Mobile and Pensacola are points aimed at by the charter, and the crossing of the Chattahoochee must be so fixed as to be most favorable *or a “ speedv connection” with one or the other of these places, in making the surveys and estimates of cost two leading considerations art- pre sented—first, “the most practicable mute” from Wares boro’ to the Chattahoochee river, at—secondly—the point most tavorable for a speedy connection with tbe Gulf of Mexico, at Mobile” or Pensacola. Any line I which is not based upon these considerations will not be the Main Trunk contemplated by the charier, viz: “a main Trunk Railway across the territory connect ing tbe Atlantic with tbe Gulf ot Mexico.” i mean tbe Atlantic at Bi unswick aud Savannah, because these ■were the two points iu the contemplation ot the Legis lature —the two points to which the chartered main line was hi ended to be common. The most practicable mute” from Watesboro’ may, I think, with propriety be said to be just that which would present the best line of road—these particulars being duly considered, viz: 1. Directness of line. 2. Speedy connection with Mobile or Pensacola. c Cost of construction. 4. Ability to procure means. 6. Insurmountable obstacles. Looking at tbe Map of the United States, it will be se-n that a direct line from Waresboro’ to Pensacola would cross the rivers Chattahoochee and Flint & little above their junction. This line would pass North of Thomasville about ten miles. A direct line from Watesboro’ to Mobile would cross the Chattahoochee wheie the Northern line of West Florida, and the South line of Alabama strike that stream. This latter line would pass North ol Thomasville at a still greater distance. Either ot these lines would be a line “across the territory connecting the Atlantic with the Golf.” The Gull ot Mexico, including its bays, nowhere ex tends larthei North than the city ot Mobile, or, rather, than the outlet of Mobile river, into Mobile Bay. Ev ery step taken to the Northward of the North line ol West Florida, would be just so much further removt-d from the idea of a Main Trunk line “across the terri ton countering the Atlantic (at Brunswick or Savan nah > with the Gulf of Mexico.” Tbe distance or length ot tbe two lines above indica ted would be übout tbe same; tb* cost of construction would be piobablv, about the same—by either, thete would be “speedy” direct connection with the Gulf, und the prospect of obtaining means would be about the same. Is there any insurmountable obstacle to the adoptiou of either or both these routes? I regret on eveiy account, that it is now impossible to adopt either of tlTese routes. There was a time, and it lasted long, when the State of Florida sought connection with Georgia and un outlet at Brunswick and Savannah.— Iheii charters, liberally granted, looking to such con nection and outlet. But these charters have been lost bv iion u-.tr —from tbe want ot action under them. Iu their stead, since Florida Las determined to conuect Ler harbor of Pensacola aud her metropolis with Jack s> uville and with Fernandina on the Atlantic —we fiud legislative inhibition to connection with the Railroads ol Georgia, except in a certain event, and then only Easiwurdiy ot tbe Alapaiia river. We cannot complain ot the legislation of Florida ; it was necessary for her protection. See! it the Main Trunk were located, as u u with it to be, through Thomasville, would not a road from Tallahassee to Thomasville, greatly injuie, if not destroy, the line owned by Florid* from Talla hassee to Jacksonville and Fernandina. Show me that lire Main Trank can be carried through Florida to Pensacola, aud I promise you all the aid in my power, towards the adoption of one or other of the two lints before referred to. The passage of the line through” Thomar-vitle, although out of the direct course, accom panted with the lawlul right to go to Pensacola, would never injure Brunswick or Savannah—would rather help them. The same remark may be made in respect of Bain bridge. noth places might be accommodated, without any interference with tbe spirit of the charter, and, 1 will add, to the advantage ot all concerned. But, my dear sir, we cannot get through Florida if we would. The necessity is imposed upon us, of fixing the cross ii g of the Ghat labor-chee somewhere between the North line ol West Florida and tbe end of a line running due West from Waresboro’ to the Chattahoochee. 1 con aider tbe discretion of the Directors, a* to crossing the Chattahoochee, limited to that space. It is so limited on the North tor the reason that tbe Directors mu.-t have “ distinct iefereuce” to speedy connection with Mobile or Pensacola—it is so limited on the South be cause Florida will not let us pass through her terri lot v. Where, within the defined space, should theChatta hoochee be crossed? It seems to me that “ distinct ref erence to Mobile and Pensacola” absolutely determines the question, save so far as engineering difficulties mu; imeipoxi The crossing should be as little North of ■he North line ol West Florida as possible. Say that ffie crossing should be between the North line ofFlorj- I <i., and tbe South line of Early and Baker, the question recurs how shall tbe line be tun from Wuresboto’ to that crossing? Shall it be tun us direct as possible, or shall it be curried Southw atdly so as to embiace Thom as* iile and then Northwardly so os to embrace Bain bridge? The ditfeieuce in length between a line run direct from Waresboro’ to that crossing, and a line di rect to Thomasville, and thence direct to the same crossing (taking iu Bambridge) would net be greater than twenty five miles. Your argument is that the lost mentioned mute wou.d be thebtst paying lime. It is probable that it would pay best, and therefore Thomasville aud Bainbridge will present a good case to go before the Directors. 1 hope that the Main Trunk may be so located—by general consent. But, whilst we are looking to a locution wh ; eh will beat promote our interests, we should not shut our eyes to the iuteiests of others—or even to what others Itr ay deem their interests. We must take care not to withhold ur subscriptions, and let otbei'3 subscribe, and by their votes in tbe election for Directors, actual ly control tbe location. We should be acting unwise- I !y if we failed to re iect on the probable vote of the | rftate. Recollect that when the Directors are to be I chosen, ihe probability is that there will be about elev !tn thousand vo'ea —ol which fiv* thousand will be cast |by the Slate. The other six thousand will, of course, jbe scattered. Will not the voice of the State be noten | rial? When the committee (three intelligent and tnoft | r- -pec<able gent lemeuj shall come to cast the State’s t vo-e tiiev wilt inquire info tbe yiews of the persons ■ who may be caud.dates for the direction in relereuco to j the location of the Road. | Let us place out selves in the situation of the com mittee, and ask ou< series how we, thus -i'.uated, would aot in casting the ht tte’s vote. Are there no consider ations wh'.ch would cause us to hesitate before we de oidad to run by Tbomoaville and Bainbridge to tb* Chattahoochee crossing ? We should be compelled to consider the case of the people of Early and Baker— and to enquire whether a line by TbocuasviUe would be fair for them—as fair and just to them as to the peo ple of Thomas and Decatur. We should, I appre.iend, took to the spirit ot the law under which we were act ing, and then we could not tail to see that the State did not intend to give preference to Decatur aad Thom as, over Earl v and Baker. Tbe law shows that the State intended to establish a Common Trunk Com mon to what, ftnd to whom? Surely, common to Brunswick and Savannah—common to the people the South-western part of the State, with choice ot markets on the Atlantic Why did the Stute give aid to the common trunk * Because the State had refused to give aid to the Brunswick line and to the Savannah line, and wished to establish a fair line common to both places. Should we not be inclined to sav—id tne line be fixed on the boundary lines between Early and DecaUtr, and Baker and Thomas —as fair for one si < as for the other side. Such a line would beabout equt distant from Atbanvon theNorthand on the South, and therefore just where there would be least competition-just where tbe Trank: would be deed common to all—advantageous to all. and mpm OU I 9 bate thus gWen you tny views on . subject . bich is already engaging the truest attention ot ml the low country. F have sought to be candid lu i nor hit opiuion, knowing th:it ut\cr ,t*! # - opinion of one who cannot expect to control th.optm tons of others. We cannot, any of us, say where the Main Trunk will be located by tbe Directors. VU can give our ideas on the subject-no vvt anb !-crioe for stock enough vo settle tbo question, line ! being the case vou must bear with me when 1 oxpraas , mv surprise aud regret that your people wth. aot suh siribe unless they can get assurance that the toad will go through Thomasville, ar.d that so far from subsertb ing thev will oppose tbe route if it passes übove them. The common Knud once fixed, and all opposition to if oil their part will be no avail whatever. If Lowndes, and Thomas, and Decaiur reluse to subscribe, who will there be at ihe Board of Directors to represent their case —their claims—their iuterest—w hen the question ot location is mooted ? I note your remark that if your people cannot get the main line through Thomasville, thev must reserve all their strength lor a connection with Florida. It the main Trunk shall be located on the South line of Baker, Thomasril e will be midway between it aud tbe Florida Head leading to Jacksonville and Fernandina. Would not vour people rather build to the main Truuk, and thus secure a snorter route to the Atlunric ut Btunswick, (leaving Savannah out of the question where they would be governed in their business by iheir own laws, than to go to a Fort in an other State, where their intercourse would be governed by laws and usages with which they are not tumilliar. I think I know, ‘beforehand, where they would go.— Would you rather have no common Truuk, than have the common location fifteen or twenty miles above your town? If such be your view, I can only express my deep regict. This Main Trunk law is viewed here as a great measure ol justice and liberality on the part of the State; it certainly affords great relief to Brunswick and Savannah Let the toad be built on whatever line it may South of the Southern lino ot Baker, it will be a great blessing to every one living w lihin thirty miles of it on either side. It will be tributary to all such, and all such will be tributary to it. 1 trust that Bruns wick and Savannah, whose interests are now made the same by this great and patriotic measure, will see that the necessary subscription is made. Tbe great point for them, :s to get a Road through your country some where, which will conuect them with the Gulf ot Mex ico. The great point for tbe whole people of South western Georgia is to get two markets Btunswick und Savaunah, opened to them. Savannah and Brunswick desire the Main Trunk to be located as low down as possible, but 1 appreheud neither community will with hold subscriptions, because they cannot know oetore hand, where the road is to be located. Let us unite and all subscribe with liberality. Re ly on it, we shall thus get a road which will never hurt any of us Very Respectfully, Your obedient servant, R. R. CUYLER. MACON,GEORGIA: WEDNESDAY, APRIL 2, 1856. THE WEATHER. i The first day of April greets us with a white frost.— This is precisely what we leared from the cold aud blustering exit of March. Home injury may have been the result to corn and tender garden vegetables, but the fruit crop we do not think at ail injured by it. RELIGIOUS Meetings of considerable interest, have been held for several successive days, in the Baptist and Methodist Churches in this city, and seretal accessions have been made to those denominations. We presume the ser vices will be continued. BOSIICK & REIN. We ought sooner to have noticed this new firm.— We now call attention to their attractive array of beau tiful tabricks advertised to-day. The ladies wilt also, be pleased to see that Mrs. A. Bamour has something to please them CITY COURT. We have received a communication on this subject, | but too late for insertion this week. We must remind our triends that communications to gain admission, must come in on Monday morning or sooner. SOUTHERN SCHOOL BOOKS. We are indebted to W. R. Babcock, the publisher, for the Charleston Series of Southern School Books, and which have been adopted by the Board of Trustees of Charleston Free Schools. Tbe wish has often been expressed that the South would furnish itself with its own school books. A few of our enterprising publish ers have made a beginning. We trust they will meet with encouraging success. MAIN TRUNK RAILROAD. The Commissioners for this Road, appointed by the State, met in Mtlledgeville lust week, and organized, selecting Judge Nisbet, of this city, as President.— They wilt immediately open Books for subscription for stock, aud wc are ussured that there is no doubt but the amount of six huedted thousand dollais will be immediately taken. This will secure the State’s sub scription ol five hundred thousand, in accordance with the act of the last Legislature. We trust, that the work will be carri<d on vigorously and that our citizens of tbe south-western counties will not much longer be without the benefit of a great channel to convev their abundant produce to a sea-board market. WHAT SHOULD NATIONAL MSN DO? That our free aud glorious institutions are at this moment in imminent peril, must be apparent to the thoughtful ond considerate. Out of the elements of old and disrupted parlies, a powerful and unacrupu loua sectional organ zation has risen up at tbeDorthand west which casts an ominous and dismal shadow upon tbe future of this proud Republic. A contest is pend, ing more momentous to the South—an issue is raised more vital to her honor, than has ever yet entered into our Presidential struggles, since the adoption of the Fed. etui Constitution. A contest and un issue are forced upon us which directly involve the equality of lit* Sove reign States which compose this Union. In this emergency, what should national men do ? That they cannot unite upon the same candidates for President and V ice President is certain. They should herefore select such men for their respective standard bearers as have tbe respect and com.dence of the whole country. Men of enlarged and liberal views and feel ings, and in whose wisdom and patriotism all sound .neu of all parties cau confide. Such men as Fillmore and Dickinson, of New York ; Buchanan, of Pennsyl vania ; Crittenden, of Kentucky; Butler, of South riarolina. Meu of dignity aud ability—who respect themselves and can treat their opponents with civility. Let such men as these be placed before the country— let their character and claims be treated with courtesy and respect; let their friends, whilst urging the claims of their favorites, (eel that they are ton tending for great principles which all national men hold iu com mon. Then should the contest terminate in tbe House of Representatives, as it is likely to do, it will termin ate in tbe triumph of national principles and national men. We say again, this is no time for national men, with common principles and aims, to indulge in a asper ity of feeling, and woids of denunciation. The weap ons of our warfare should be turned against the com mon enemy of the Constitution. At the South, at least, we should feel that we are all brethren, and true to Southern Rights and Southern honor. KANSAS AND SHARPE S RIFLES. The New York press has published a sketch of a scene which receutly transpired during a Kansas meet ing held at the North Church, New UaveD, Connecti cut, and in which Ward Beecher and Prof. B. Sitliraan figured portentously as the advocates of Sharpe’s rifle arguments and civil war. The contributions of the audience were made openly and without any disguise. Each man and woman who made a donation of $25, the price of a rifle, made it expressly in the name of the article. A man and his wife gave one each, and Beech er observed that “it was a stroke right and left.” A man named “Killam” subscribed one, and Beecher again remarked, “ Killam—teat’s a significant name in connection with a Sharpe’s rifle.” The junior class in Yale College pledged itself for one, when Prof. Silli man rose, and sweeping the galleries with his eye, said; “ There are four classes in Yale College.” The senior class then pledged itself for one. This is u j specimen of the proceedings, interspersed reportorially with “ laughter,”—“ great laughter”—“ immense sen sation,” Ac. And all this is done in connection with contributions of Bibles, aud nnder the affected influ ence and sanction of Christianity. Chronology and Antecedents. While we should be equally traveling from tbo record j to question our neighbor's sincerity in what fie was, is, or may* be, we mav be permitted to correct hi chron otogv a little. The “Whig party” took its name and position as a political |ariy soma years before 1832, and it was in 1842 that our neighbor was elected as sbeaka of. In 1539 we certainly understood h m to sympathise with the national Democrtic party and do not see how it is possible for us t > have been mistaken j in this matter. It is one of those “understandings and ’ recollections, ’ which, the umre one thinks over, the more jxtsilive and certain it becomes. It a belting j raau we should be disposed to risk heavily opoa it. i But it is immaterial - if a can Tueyrapn lu reply to the foregoing, we have barely spaca to , reuiaik, thnt in our last, our compositor made us say, i thut the contest between Mr. Vuu Buren and Gen. Har j risen, was in 1 48, insteud of 1840. Our neighbor is lakedoln.fr#bg it >• 1839. Up to 1840, parties in j Georgia und Florida were not formed under thedistinc-1 five and respective appellations of Whig and De mocrutic, or Locofoco Going back to 1882, we find that j two electoral tickets that year were supported in this Stale for General Jackson. One was styled lbs “Troup ticket,” the ut Let .culled the Clark ticket, was inscribed, •‘JuA ft a ami the Union.'’ In 1830, as we have before stated, Georgia cast her wote for Hugh L. White, un der the style of the Republican Candidate. Iu 1840, the electoral ticket for Harrison, und headed by that telling patriot, G. It. Gilmer, was called the “States- Rights, Anti-Van Buren ticket,” and the supporters of Harrison still bore the name ot Republicans. That we, iu common with a large majority of the people at the South, approved of the leading principles and measures ot Gen. Jackson’s Administration is very true. We never had, however, any affiliation with Van Buren democracy. In 1841, we received an appointment from Mr. Webster, Harrison’s Secretary of State What we were in 1840-41, when we first participated in national politics, we are now—a conservative, con stitutional union man—and this is what vre shall cod tinue to be to the end of tbe chapter. So much for our chronology and antecedents. THE HON. H. W. HILLIARD, OF ALABAMA. This distinguished Orator, has accepted the appoint* mentto deliver the Address before the Phi-Kappa and Demosihenian Societies, of the University of Georgia, at Athens at the approaching Commencement in Au g*l - IS IT JUST 1 IS IT POLITIC ? Whilst the Black Republicans are denouncing Mr. Fillmore, and repudiating the action of the body which nominated him, is it just, is it politic for the South to join the hue and erv against him ? particularly in view of his truly national administration? Does Mr. Fill more merit such treatment at their hands, after exhib iting his fidelity to Southern Rights, and immolating himself with the sectionalists of the North? In a late number of the N. Y. Conner <& Enquirer , we find extracts from a letter recently written by Judge Conklin of New York, to the Hon. J. A. King, in re lation to the action of the late Philadelphia Convention. It may be proper to lemark that Judge Conklin was appointed by Mr. Fillmore, Minister to Mexico. The Judge says, of the Convention and nominee: Principles with respect to slavery were proclaimed by a majority thus constituted, so revolting tolhemor al sentiments of the minority, as to drive them from tbe Convention. The mtjo; ity saw fit to nominate a candidate for the Presidency, who has thus been placed before the country as the representative and standard bearer of these principles not less than of those pecu liar to the American Party. Os this gentlemun I have a tew words that are due alike to him and myself. Ihe friendly relations that have ioug subsisted between us; the high opinion 1 entertain ol his patriotism, in tegrity aud talents; the confidence he saw fit to icpose iu me, and the great personal kindness 1 received at his hands while he filled the Presidential office, all conspire to render it painful to me, to withhold my support from him ; and had he been brought fonvard uniter other uuspices, as 1 cherished a vague hope he might be, it would have afforded me a corresponding degree ot satisfaction to yield him that support.. * * In a word, then, my objection to Mr. Fillmore is that, though by the act of others, and in his absence from the couutry, he stands before the public us the repre sentative af principles and of a policy which. 1 abhor , but to which, should he be elected, he would feel bound to auhere. Here is a well merited tribute to the talents, integri ty and patriotism ot Mr. Fillmore , and yet this anti- Nebraska Judge cannot support him on account of “the principles with respect to slavery” which were avowed by the Convention which nominated him. Let the South note this. SWEET POTATOES. Accounts fiom different parts of the State, lead us to believe that this most valuable esculent (or man and beast, has been very generally destroyed by the cold, insomuch that a sufficient supply for seed cannot be procured. This will prove very embarrassing, especial’ ly to the poor, who often rely largely upon the sweet potatoe tor subsistence. We trust those who have been fortunate euough to save seed will be generous in its distribution. BUTTS AMERICANIZED. We are informed, that at an election for Ordinary in Butts Couuty, which came off on Friday last, Mr. Hen ry Hendricks, who was elected in January last, (but whose election was coutested, and improperly sent back by Cloveruer Johnson to the people,; was re-elect ed by 13 majority. This is a gain, we believe, of 7 votes for the American caudidate over the last contest. Well done Baits ! THE HARMONIOUS. It is stated on what is deemed reliable aufherity that John W. Forney, Esq., is about to sever his connection with the “Union” newspaper. It is said that he is a member of the Pennsylvania Democratic Central Com mittee, and has always been an active friend of Mr BnchaDan for the Presidency. It appears, therefore, that both the Washington Un ion and the Sentinel, at the Federal Capital, know Pierce too well to advocate bis re election. In another column will be found some home truths from the latter able and independent Journal, the editor of which, from his residence, has bad fine opportunities for noticing the capabilities of Gen Pierce, and the eccentric workings of his spoils administration. What automaton will be next placed at the crank of the administration organ, has not yet transpired. Someone of course, who can play upon a “haip of a thousand strings,” and charm the multifarious ears of all kindred, tribes, and tongues, and antecedents uuder Heaven, which uuilce up the variegated hosts which rally under banner of modern democracy. PRESIDENT PIERCE AND MR DONELSON. The faithlesslnew of President Pierce to the declara tions and pledges of his inaugural address, has caused us to attach but little weight to his statements or opin ions. As there are many, however, who pretend to bold him in high esteem, we give publicity to the fol lowing letter of that gentleman to Maj. Donelson. It may perhaps cause the opposition to treat with a little more decency, the late “statesman-like” editor of tbe Washington Union. Concord, May 80,1861. My Dear Sir : I rejoice that the leading organ of our party is now under your control, aud regard the change as most uuspicious at this jucture. There is a great battle before us—a battle tor the Union —a battle lor the ascendency of the principles, the maintenance of which so nobly signalized the administration ot Geu. Jackson. The toue, vigor, and statesman-like grasp which you have brought t<> the columns of the Unton are not merely important, they ate absolutely indispen sable in this crisis. With irreat respect your friend and servant, (BiguedJ FRANK PIKRCE. SYMPATHY. We would say to our friends of the Federal Union, that the late demonstrations against Mr. Pierce and his administration from the New York Hards, and the Buchanan and Hunter organs, is gradually diverting our sympathy to him and his advocates, the Federal Union included. Wehaveßome more hot-shot from the Hard locker, which we shall hold as a rod in ter rorum over tbe bead of our metropolitan contempora ry. So he will do well to keep quiet. FOREIGN EMIGRATION. Among the arrivals on Sunday were the ships Pio neer, from Liverpool, with 260 passengers; the Dread naught, from London, with 207 passengers; the Isaac Webb, from Liverpool, with 486 passengers; the Ger mania, from Havre, with 44 paaseugars; and the Har vest Queen, (rom Liverpool, with 815 passengers, ma king a total for the three days of 1,750, exclusive of those brought in small numbers by other vessels. At this rate, how inng will it take to populate the west with squatter sovereigns ? W ith the alien suf frage feature of the Kansas Nebraska bill, how many such arrivals will it take to make Kansas a s/at>e State ? Mo. Thackkrat.— This distinguished novelist real ized the sum of $1,640, over and above expenses, from the five lectures he recently delivered in New Orleans. The Algetneine Zntung states that William Makepeace | Thackeray has realized by his writings and lectures ss*'o,ooo, a sum, says this journal, which would enrich half a dozen German satirists and change them from literary vagabonds to steady oitizens. THE AGITATOR. The Washington correspondent of the Savannah .fau nal, thus sketches Senator Douglas : • Mr. Douglas, let me say to the reader who does not know him, is a short man wiih small legs, large bodv and large intellectual looking head. He is Dot fat fonking, but full, lirm and stout, having thick black hair and whiskers, a rather square lace, fine mouth, and jaws that close with * mphusis while he is speaking. ! He moves about as he speaks, and gesticulates with na turalness His voice is strong and clear, and appears lo be always perfectly within his control, liis words are uttered with great force, and his language is fair j but not accurate, tor he has a good many ot the con | vei national idinsyncrucies of the localities in wbiab be ’ bus lived. llis whole appearance, manner and voice, i however, keep each auditor constantly in mind of the fact that he is a powerful tittle giant, with a powerful 1 will, and a powerful resentment when crossed. When Kansas becomes a free Stale, as it will, be will j begin to rise higher and higher in national “ I told von that slavery could never go there, ’ he will say. “ 1 told you that nature bad fixed her barriers to prevent it; I told you that interest would ru.e, ’ and that Kansas offered ho inducements to owners of 1 slave property. But 1 fought for a principle, for a great principle. I fought and conquered, and left con sequences to take care of themselves.’’ Thus will talk. The South will applaud, and—so will the North. We cannot agree with the writer that the great mass of the American people, at the North or South, now that the selfish and ulterior designs of Douglas and other aspiring and plotting politicians ate understood, will ultimately either reward their patriotic deeds, or applaud their far-seeing statesmanship. STRANGE GOBS. At a meeting held in Fairfield District, South Caro lina, measures were adopied to send delegates to the State Convention to oppose a representation from that State in the Cincinnati Convention. They say: “ Opposed to Conventions in general, we are of the opinion, that this is one in which we might safely en gage, as having in it the principle of self-deteuce —an attempt to arrest the progress ot the State in her career to the temples of strange gods: Resolved, That we hereby invite those favorable to the nomination of Franklin Pierce for the next Presi dency, without regard to the action of aDy National party Convention, to unite with ns iu the appointment of Delegates to a State Convention, to assembly in Co lumbia on the second Monday in May next.” That there will be “ gods many” and lords more iu the temple of Democracy, at Cincinnati, is quite prob able ; that they will be strange and motley in garb strange and Delphic in dialect—strange in their altars, and the fires upon their altars, and the votaries that | sacrifice upon their altars, is quite likely. But certain ly gentlemen who can swallow Mr. Pierce and his of fensive t’reesoil appointees, ought to be able to worship anywhere and with auy body, without any very pain ful compunctions of conscience. Democracy iu New Hampshire. Our neighbor on Hill street is exultiug over the Democratic gains in New Hampshire, while the Washington Union claims them as an evidence of sound Democratic principles Let us see how these sounds Democratic principles adapt themselves to Southern sentiment. The Daily Evening and exponent of New Hampshire Democratic doctrines, says, speakiDg of the Kansas measure: “ Extreme Southern men opposed the Kansas and Nebraska bill because they foresaw that its inevitable operation would insure the admission of those Territories as Free States.” * * * “Kansas, | when admitted, will be admitted as a free State.” Another Democratic paper, the Lancaster, Coos ! Democrat, says: ‘There is no need of an Abolition ora Republican par ty to preveut slavery extension. Let the people alone and they will in every case prevent its extension ot their own free will and accord —All that is neccessry is to maintain their right to decide this question, the Democratic Doctrine of Popular Soveriguty, and you will have no more slave Slates, not one. The very sys tem upon which our Territories and new States are so rapidly populated, the source from which that popula tion is derived, the uniform experience of years and the settlement of immense territories recently acquired, all show conclusively that from our present territory are to be carved out no new slave Slates. The chief emigration is from the Northern States, and always must be, as their population so much predominates. The emigration from Europe, from whence comes whole columns, is just as unalterably opposed to slave ry as the people of the Northern States. Are these the men to make slavery an institution of new States which they settle? Most certainly not. They wil l not do it, and therefore the new States Must be free I” Now what do our readers think of the “soundness” of new Hampshire Democracy, as indicated in the above extracts from the organs of the party in that State? Is it u fit theme for Southern glorification ? Griffin Union. After reading the foregoing, we submit the question to our readers, whether New-Hampshire, Pierce de mocracy could have been greatly improved by the late mission of Messrs. Orr and Cobb. These gentlemen should by all means, give the Granite Democracy ano ther rehearsal of the ‘ Dark Lantern Speech,’ ’ embel lished and improved by a few extra-skyward rolls o* the phrenzied eye,— Eds. Mess. State Convention. We agree with the Journal k Messenger, that until we have the assurance of Mr, Fillmore’s acceptance of the nomination for President, a State Convention had better not beheld. We know the people are anxious to see the banner es the American party spread out to the breeze with the nnmes of Fi’lmore and Donelson inscribed upon it. but having waited this long a little more delav will make no material difference. What we do should be done advisedly—“be sure you are right, then go ahead,” is a very good motto, and one upon which we intend to act. — Griffin Union.

FIUMORE IN NEW YORK, The Troy County American Convention composed of delegates from each Council in the county, passed j the following excellent preamble and resolutions : I Whereas, The lafß National Convention, at Philadel phia, nominated as candidates of the American Par tv, for President and Vice President, Millard Fill more and Andrew Jackson Donelson ; —men in whom we confide and for whose election we will labor, and for whom we ask the cordial support of all right minded men, who love our country and institutions ; Therefore — Revived, That the affairs of correct governments should be administered only by those who have been bred under their influences and who love the institu tions of such government because they know what tbev are. Resolved, That upou the election of Millard Fillmore and Andrew Jackson Donelson, the exponents of Amer ican principles, depends the harmony and safety of the Union, and that they shall have our unceasing, anil through the blessings of a kind Piovidence, successful efforts for their elect ion. Fillmore .Tleetiiig iu Daricu. In accordance with a previous notice, a 1 ,rge meet ing of ihe citizens of Darien, and others, assembled in the court house on Monday evening, .'4th ins!., to ex- I press their appiobation of the nomination of Millard Fillmore tor President, and Andrew J. Donelson for j Vice President. i Judge A. A. DeLorme was unanimously chosen I Chairman, and Mr. T. W. Baker requested to act as j Secretary The Chairman, in a few appropriate remarks, stated j that the meeting was a congregation of citizens, with* { out respect to party, to express their approval of the nomination of Millard Fillmore for the Presidency and Andrew J. Donelson for the Vice Presidency, as the candidates of the people, aud not as the candidates of any particular party. The following preamble aud resolutions were adopt j ed: — Whereas Millard Fillmore has been brought forward i as a candidate for the Pres dency of the Uuiied States— Resolved, That this meeting recognize Mr. Filrmore j as a patriotic and national man, aud as a suitable and ! competent person to administer the government. As the name ot Andrew Jackson Donelson has been , brought forward for the Vice Presidency in connec tion with that of Mr. Fillmore for the Presidency. Resolved, That we approve of said nomination’. Upon motion of Mr Bailey. Resolved, That we support these gentlemeu as men and patriots, aud not as the members of any particular party. Upon motion it was Resolved, That although this meeting approve of the said nomination, yet, as individuals, they reserve to j themselves the right either to support the above I mentioned nominees or any others, as -circumstances i may dictate. Resolved, That we respectfully suggest that a cor.ven tion be held by the friends of Millard Fillmore, at Ma con, on the sth of June next, to nominate electors. Col. Hopkins, in a spirited sjieech, eulogized Messrs. Filluiore and Donelson, and accurately piesented their claims. After the adjournment, the enthusiastic portion of the meeting gave throe cheers for Fillmore and Dotiel son. These are the right kind of meetings and exhibit the right kind of spirit. Let the people without re gard to party, have similar ones all over the State, and uncontroled aud unbiased by politicians, give utterance te their honest sentiments and feelings. LATER FROM EUROPE.

All accounts agree that peace is certain, and it was generally rumored that a treaty of peace would be signed on Saturday.
