President,—It has no doubt, been long
apparent to you, brothers, that foreign in
fluence and Roman Catholicism have been
making steady and alarming progress in
our countrv. I ou cannot have tailed to
observe the significant transition of the
foreign and Romanists from a character
quiet, retiring, and even abject, to one
bold, threatening, turbulent and despot
ic in its appearance and assumptions.—
You must have become alarmed at the sys
tematic and rapidly augmenting power of
these dangerous and unnatural elements of
our national condition. So is it, brothers,
with others besides yourselves in every
State of the Union. A sense of danger
has struck the great heart of the nation.
In even - citv, town and hamlet, the dan
ger lias been seen and the alarm sounded.
And hence-true men have devised this or
der as a means of disseminating patriotic
principles, of keeping alive the tire of na
tional virtue, of fostering the national in
telligence. and of advancing America and
the American interests on the one side, and
On the other of checking the strides of the
foreigner or alien, or thwarting the ma
chinations and subverting the deadly plans
of the Papist and Jesuit.
Note.—The President shall impress up
on the initiates the importance of secrecy,
the manner of proceeding in recommend

Brothers, it is with great pleasure that I con
gratulate you upon your advancement to the third
degree of onr Order. The responsibilities you
have now assumed, are more serious and w eighty
than those which preceeded. and are committed to
such only as have been tried and found worthy.—
Onr obligations are intended as solemn avowals '
of our duty to the land that gave ns birth: to the
memories of our fathers: and to the happiness
and welfare of our children. Consecrating to
your country a spirit unselfish and a fidelity like,
that which distinguished the patriots of the Revo
lution, yon have pledged vour aid in cementing
tlm bonds of a Union which we trust will endure
forever. lour deportment since your initiation
has attested your devotion to the principles we de
sire to establish, and has inspired a confidence in
your patriotism, of which we can give no higher
proof than yonr reception here.
The dangers which threaten American Liberty
arise from foes without and from enemies within.
The first degree pointed out the source and nature
of our most imminent peril, and indicated the first
measure of safety. The "Second degree defined the
next means by which, in coming time, such as
saults may he rendered harmless. 1 he third de
gree, which yo«i have just received, not only rei
terates the lessons of the other two, but it is in
tended to avoid and provide for a more remote, but
no less terrible danger, from domestic enemies to
onr free institutions.
Our object is briefly, this:—to perfect an organi
zation modelled after that of the Constitntion of
the United States, and co-extensive with the con
federacy. Its object and, principles, in all matters
of national concern, to be uniform and identical,
whilst in all local matters the component parts
shall remain independent and sovereign within
their respective limits.
The great result to he attained—the only one
which can secure a perfect guaranty as to our fn-
t„ n —i s UNION: permanent, enduring, fraternal
UNION!—Allow me, then, to impress upon your
minds and memories the touching sentiments of
the Father of his Country, in his farewell address:
“The unity of government which constitutes
you one people,” says Washington, “is justly
dear to you, for it is the main pillar to the edifice
of your real independence, the support of your
tranquility at home, of your peace abroad, of vour
safety, your prosperity—even that liberty you so
justly prize.
“ * „ It is of infinite moment that
you should properly estimate the immense value of
your Motional Union, to vour collective and indi
vidualhappiness. You should cherish a cordial,
habitual and immovable attachment to it: accus
toming yourselves to think and speak of it, as the
palladium of yonr political safety ami prosperity;
watching forits preservation with jealous anxiety
discountenancing whatever may suggest even a
suspicion that il can in any event be abandoned:
and indignantly frowning upon the dawning of
every attempt to alienate any portion of onr coun
try from the rest, or to enfeeble the sacred ties
which now bind together the various parts.”
Let these words of paternal advice and warn
ing from the greatest man that ever lived, sink
deep into your Ii -arts, cherishjthem, and teach
your children to reverence them, as you cherish
and reverence the memory of Washington him
self. The Union of these States is the great con
servator of that liberty so dear to the American
heart Without it, our gn it ness as a nation
would disappear and our boasted self-go; eminent
prove a signal failure. The very name of Liber
ty: and the hope of struggling Freedom through-
ought the world, innstperish in the wreck of this
Union. Devote yourselves, then to . its mainten
ance. as our fathers did to the cause of indepen
dence; consecrating to its support, as you have
sworn to do, your lives your fortunes, and sacred
honors.
Brothers: Recalling to your minds the solemn
obligations which you have severally taken in
thisaud the proceeding degrees, I now pronounce
you entitled to all the privileges of membership in
this organization,and take pleasure in informing
ion that you arc members of the Order of (the
American Union.)

LETTER FROM GOV. TROUP.
Valdosta, July 4, 1555.
Fear Sir: You are quite welcome to do as you
please with anything of mine you may have in pos
session, provided you think good iii\v come of it.
I have neither taste, inclination or spirits for
control ersial polities, but am, notwithstanding, far
from being indifferent to the welfare of our coun
try. If a word front me could subserve its inter
est in any sense, it would not be wanting We see
with different eyes, or J would he amazed at the
opposition tu the present administration, especial
ly itl the Southern country.* The pveseut is in
truth the least exceptionable of all tiie administra
tions we have ever had, Gen. Washington’s, Mr.
Jefferson's and Mr. Polk’s not excepted. People
seem to he opjtosod to it becanae there is really
nothing to find fault with. The Southern people
are bound by houor, gratitude and patriotism to
sustain it with all their might. % Catholic Church
and Foreign emigration are mere pretences—tiie
administration has nothing to do with either. The
first has existed at all times w ithout complaint:
the sccend Ins not only e.xisted, but has been al
most uniformly encouraged by people and gov
ernment, and now a party is formed to destroy the
administration because it will not destroy the Ro
man Catholics and put down the foreigners. This
is not to be believed. The true grounds of opposi
tion arc—1st. The very small number of offices at
the disposal of the President, when compared with
the very great number of those who seek them;
2d. 1 he faithful and unfaltering integrity with
which the. public treasure is guarded against the
theives v. ho prowl by night and by day to break in
and steal: and I’d. The inflexible courage with
which the President, in defending the Constitu
tion, def< nd- the dearest rights and most sacred
interest o! the South. The most formidable pow
er against the adiuinistion, is the party occupying
the latter ground; and what a spectacle is here
presented for the Southern country! Mr. Pierce
and Mr. Hale both from New Hampshire—the one
an honest man; the other a bigot, fanatic and abo
litionist! What a contrast! What effulgence!—
What blackness’ And yet there are Southern men
acting with the latter to humble and prostrate the
former, and with scarcely any better pretext than
that the former had appointed to two conspicuous
offices two prominent men, one failing in his duty,
and the other doing his with honor and advantage
to the country. Mistaken and deluded men! Our
very safety depending on union among ourselves,
they would sow discord and division. Our high
est interests depending on the veto, they would
take the veto from Mr. Peirce to bestow it on
Mr. Hale, or Mr. Anybody. Such men seek to
restore the administration ofthe past, when pecu
lation and plunder and swindling were the order
ofthe day in every administrative department,
and when the only security of the public against
rapine and spoliation, was the exhaustion and
beggary of the treasury.
Very respectfully, dear sir,
G. M. TROUP.
Dr. John G. Smithy.Newton, Ga.
P S.—The President has had nothing to do
with the disgraceful bidding for the Presidency
going on for some time in the Senate of the U.
S., where the public lands and the public offices
have been offered to any or everybody wiio had
a vote to give, and any or everybody might bo
qualified to vote.
From the Washington Union
Knsur-.Yothingism in .North Carolina.
We copy from the New York Herald the follow
ing passage, which occurs in a letter published
under the heading of “Our North Caroliua Corres
pondence;”
“It is strange how many unavailable, unsuccess
ful. and defunct, politicians this strange sect has
resurrectionized. Ail the disaffected and soured
aspirants for office, of all parties, have joined
know-uothiugism, in a last expiring effort to be.
something—to rule or ruin the country, by sap
ping the very foundations of the government in its
present form, by ignoring civil and religious
liberty; in short, they are, striving to return to
the dark ages of the Inquisition, the rack, the
stake, and the guillotine. But it is uof-here in the
South that such iniquitous doctrines are to suc
ceed, particularly in the old North State, where
wc have less gas than in any portion of the Union
All isnis and monstrosities in religion and politics
are eschewed by the. sober, discrimating masses
of North Carolina. We have no affiliation
with humbugs, or their incendiary and windy
appeals to ignorance, selfishness, or bigotry of any
kind.”
This paragraph is noticeable on several ac
counts. It describes with just severity the
misclieivous and corrupt spirit of the know-nothing
leaders, of whom the poor demagogue, Kenneth
Raynor, affords a visable type to the people of
North Caroliua. Above all, it, characterizes truly,
and with just commendation, the manly,
sincere, direct, straightforward, and relibalc, but
unostentatious patriotism which honorably dis
tinguishes the political career of the State of North
Carolina.
Are they all sworn.—A very instructive as well
as amusing incident occurred at Craw ford, Russell
County. Ala., during the discussion there between
Messrs. Dowdell and Watts. Mr. Dowdell charg
ed that the Know-Nothings took certain oaths in
their several degrees w hich a free man ought not
to take, mid was making it tell against his adver
sary when the following dialogue occurred:
Mr. Watts—“I never took an oath.”
Mr. Dowdell—“If there is another know-noth
ing in the bouse who has not been sworn, 1 hope
he will rise and make it known.”
Mr. B. 11. Baker—“I never was sworn.”
Many Voices.—“We were,” “we were," “we
were.”
Mr. Dowdell—“How is this, fellow-citizens.’—
The chiefs ofthe party, the wire-workers, it seems,
are not sworn: their pledge of honor I presume is
sufficient! But the wool hat hoys, the honest yeo
men of the country are compelled to take an oath be
fore they are permitted to enjoy the beneiits of
Know-Nothingism.
The effect of this hit may lie better imagined
than described. The house rung with applause.—
How is it! Arc they all sworn; or does the order
discriminate between its membership and take the
words of some, and pin others down by solemn
oaths!—Cal. Times 6f Sentimd.
Stampede in Macon.—A private letter to the edi
tor mentions that the Know Nothings are making
a perfect stampede from the lodges ni Bibli coun

Tuesday night. Our correspondent has also re
ceived a letter from Thotnasvilie, which says

Washington, July 16th, 1855.
j Bin. Washington Foe, Chairman, &c.
Dear Sir: The above Utter was received at the
■ Montv.ie Springs, in Tennessee,« here I had gone
'for the benefit of my health. 1 had ordered my
• corr. -poudeuce from home to he forwarded to me,
' at that point, and received it by the same mail that
• brought yours, but as the reception was iu the
! same hour of my departure for home, no sufficient
I opportunity was given for answering en route.—
j After reading the correspondet.ee which had ac-
j cumulated during my absence, I have taken the
first moment to answ er vour communication. So
much, sir, on account of what might, to you and
other friends, appear an indifference to my posi-
. tion, if unexplained.
j I apprehend it is known to you, that before the
| nomination mentioned iu your communication, I
i had very positively declined the honor which I
1 had reason to believe might be tendered me by
I the Macon convention. The main reason for refu
sal was a desire that an organization should be
j suffered, under what is known as the Columbus
■ movement, which I hoped would convene, and as
i advised my friends, nominate another. I trnst-
. ed by this time there would have been such ue-
i velopments as would justify me in au effort to
j consummate my original wishes. But 1 discover
' from the newspapers of the day, and other sour-
j ces, that no organization, under the Columbus
j movement, will likelv take place, or, if it should,
i he of such magnitude as to supersede the oue
j whose committee-man you are. As the Democrat-
i ie party had previously, by refusal to join in the
j Columbus movement, deprived it ofthe power of
| assuming the attitude of any thing like State ttna-
j nimity, and as ihe joining in such organization
j might have had the appearance of a disbanding of
i tit. American party in Georgia, and as it might
j have failed to pais a resolution that 1 should have
j considered a sine qua non, it is perhaps wise that
J no affiliation has taken place other than what ap-
1 pears in one of the resolutions of your convention,
i Duly impressed with the responsibility of refusing
so high an hunor, tendered by so largo and respec
table a body of men, as the American party, I
could not excuse myself for declining the same,
without very weighty, not to say, irresistible rea-
t sons, and the rather as I think there are some why
ji should not decline, of su.h magnitude as not to
i be disregarded or overruled. One of which is,
1 that my declension might embarrass, possibly oe-
| casion, or have the appearance of, a disorganiza
tion of the American 1’arty in Georgia. I lie
j statement of a few facts will make manifest the
j importance of the continuance, and succesfnl con-
| tinuance, of thi“ party in Georgia.
I In the convention iu 1850, the State declared, in
the paper known as tiie “Georgia Platform,’
* Elected by a vast majority of his countrymen,
j in a manner most honorable to himself, he is
j threatened with overthrow by a majority almost
I as formidable,for (as I think) not even plausible
reasons.

From The Washington Union
The Northern Know-Nothings.
We are not astonished to see liovv rapidly the
northern know-nothings are seeking shelter in the
abolition ranks. The election in Virginia, where
the democrats rebuked them and their false prom
ises ami transparent follies in so complete a
fashion, has given them a hearty surfiet of
“Southern institutions.” Hence it is natural
enough that in Ohio they should renew their co
quetries with the abolitionists; that in Pennsyl
vania they should refuse by immense votes to en
dorse the so-called national know-nothing plat
form; that in New Jersey the press should speak in
bitterscorn ofthe South; that in New York Mr.
Fill inore’s organ, the Buffalo Advertiser, should
deplore any separation betwen those enemies of
the democratic party, the abolitionists and know-
nothings; and that in New England abolition
menaces should have increased aiikc in number
and in malignity. The know-nothings arc
eager for place. They are perfectly willing to
make anv arrangement or any sacrifice, short of
that which may deprive them of office. This is
the first and the last object of their leaders; and to
this end all things must he subordinate. It
matters little who gives them the power, so that
they get it. They would prefer national influence
if it could be had: but they cannot lose ail chance
for their first great object, bv helping those who
will not help them. Hence, like faithful Dugald
llalgcttys, if the southern people will not stand
by the know-nothings, the latter will not stand
by thj southern people—that is quite clear, and
there is the end of it. Besides, to be an abolition
ist is to he consistent with what they have been.
It is a comfortable trade, for it is hitting those
who cannot return the favor; and as Mr. Seward
is able to pay down for their services, they
have concluded to take the bounty and
to go in. The South is all right to look after
herself, sav the know-nothings, but it is evident
she does not trust ns a whit more than wc like
her.
mung other tilings, that she would and ought to
1 resist, even, as a last resort, to a disruption ot eve-
j ry tie which bound her to the Union, any refusal
j by Congress to admit as a State any territory
] thereafter applying, because of the existence of
I slavery therein. The Kansas territory will soon
apply foi admission into the Union as a slave
State. It is stated by Gov. Johnson, in his late
! letter of acceptance, that “the united cohorts of
i Freesoilers and Abolitionists under”—what he
( hooscs to style—“the black banner ot Knnw-
1 Xothingisni,” (hut really under the unpopular in-
! fluence at the North, ofthe Nebraska and Kansas
bill,) “have elected to the next Congress a con-

a unit in its favor.
The war waging against the National American |
Party lately organised at Philadelphia, to hritig
the needed aid from the North, whence only it can
be had, is anything else than an effort to meet the
cricis awaiting Kansas, and which we are ap
proaching with the sleepless tread of Time. N\e
have had much figuring, showing how the Demo
cratic party has voted, but none how it will lie aide
j and trilling to vote. Others more- patriotic or vigi
lant, seeing the old Whig party defunct, the Dem
ocratic powerless, and the Abolitionists and Free
soilers with a controlling majority in the next
Congress, have combined in organising a new pnr-
I tv, tlu 4 American, with the hope that it possesses
• principles of Nationality equal to the exigencies of
I the important occasion. The unpopularity ot the
j Nebraska and Kansas hill which, like an aval-
I am he, swept over the North, overtopping horse
j and rid r, “captain and cattle,” diminish.ng and
corrupting all parties, has left the fate of the ad-
! mission of Kansas at the mercy of the Freesoil
| power.
i The American Party lately assembled at Phila-
| delphia, after purging itself of its Freesoil element
! among other things, resolved that Congress pos
sessed no power under the constitution to exclude
anv State from admission into the Union, because
its constitution does or does not recognize the in
stitution of slavery as a part of its social system.—
Here is an accession of strength against that con
trolling majority deprecated by Gov. Johnson. It
the Democratic party were desirous of the admis
sion of Kansas as a slave .State, instead of endeav
oring to crush, would they not cherish this new,
and, we hope, efficient ally against the common
foe ! Would they not feel a sympathy for it on
account of this part of their platform ?
Though the American and Democratic parties
cannot, on account of their old prejudices and new
principles, affiliate, yet the admission of Kansas as
a slave State, depends on tlieir combined action
against the “united cohorts,” when the final con
test shall arrive. For when the vote shall lie ta
ken on that measure, and the 1 leniocracy shall he
found too weak (as they will, according to the ad
mission of Gov. Johnson,) the nays will have it
unless help come from some other quarter. Arc
they unwilling to have it, though it be not a
1 tuinoernrie vote ! Arc they unwilling the country
1 should he saved, unless saved democratically only!
j Is Deinoeracv the primary, and the country the
j secondarv, irood t When we shall he casting
I about for the election of a President who will not
i veto the hill if passed, and shall find material suf-
i Indent for the purpose, if combined, it will be the
I duty then, as now, of every patriot to throw no
j obstacle in the way of so important a consuuima-
j tion. Whatever irreconcilable hostility there may
i he on other points, on this, vital beyond all others,
everv patriot should cherish that sympathy, on the
exercise of which, in the hour of trial, may de
pend the fate of untold millions.
And what is the attitude of the American and
Democratic parties nowon this view ofthe mat
ter ! The former gives its approbation and sym
pathy to the latter when its fidelity to the South
deserves it. The Democracy seek to crush this
new party in its infancy, not only on the grfuind
of insurmountable issues, hut on that embraced in
the slavery portion of its platform, and which is
all the South can ask. Also .denouncing its plat
form because it does not approre in express terms
th- Nebraska and Kansas bill, though agreeing,
“for common justice and future peace to abide by
and maintain the existing laws upon the subject of
slavery as a final and conclusive settlement of
that subject in spirit and substance. A re Kansas
and the Union of so little consequence as to de
pend on the reasons on which the resolve was giv-
en, though immaterial for our purpose I Must the
fate ofthis country be perilled on the difference
between “tweedin' dum and tweedle dee ? And
this by a party which, in its last Baltimore Con
vention. declared, without approving in express
terms, that thev would “abide by and adhere to
the faithful execution ofthe acts know n as the
compromise measures.” And this by a parti pro
fessing to stand on the Georgia Platform, which tn
speaking of the action of Congress on the compro
mise measures, declares that whilst the State of
Georgia does not wholly approve, “will abide by
if as a permanent adjustment of this sectional con
troversy.” And this by a party, which when
California was applying for admission, did not ap
prove the principle that a State should come into
the Union with or without slavery (as provided jn
the Nebraska and Kansas hill) hut were ready foi
a disruption to maintain such disapproval. . ome-
times they criticise the platform of the American
Party because it pretermits the expression of any
opinion upon the power of Congress to establish or
prohibit slavery, though it is the sense ot the Na
tional Council that it ought not to legislate upon
the subject in the territories And this by a party
which a few short moons ago was ready to set fire
to the four coners ofthe confederacy, if Congress
did not legislate on the subject of slavery in the
territories, by repealing the Mexican laws prohibit
ing the introduction of slaves into the territory
lately acquired from that power. And this hv a
party which voted for Mr. Van Buren for Presi
dent, though from the lights before him he preter-
mitted the expression of any opinion as to the
power of Congress to legislate upon the subject of
slavery in the District of Columbia. I know that
principles are of the highest importance, but here
the resolve is all we need, let it come from what
motive it may.
The inference from all such criticisms is, that
Kansas may be rejected and the Union dissolved,
unless we can obtain votes on a principle we know
is impossible, and to ns immaterial. A Pqriy
ivh : ch thus cavils on “the ninth part of a hair, ’
may possibly desire the admission of Kansas, hut
that desire must be very weak that is weighed
against a quibble. It looks significant of the
small value they place upon the Union.
The philosophy of organising new parties con
sists in the selection of a platform of principles
that will be acceptable to a majority of the nation,
if possible; and though each may not he accepta
ble to all, yet, for the, sake of some favorite princi
ple, every member of the party will adopt the plat
form as a whole. Jnst as in deliberative assem
blies, a constitution, or a hill, may not he accep
table in every section, possibly, to any one mem
ber, yet for the sake of the. measure as a whole, or
for some favorite section, a majority maybe con
tent to adopt, the entire measure. So the North
ern portion of tiie American party, suffering under
the grievance of foreign influence, are willing to
adopt the whole platform, tiie slavery section in
cluded; perhaps nut so much for its own sake as
for the section concerning the amendment of the
naturalization laws. In these new issues wc have
none of those uid prejudices nor hostilities to en
counter, which would be in the way of making
converts to an old party.
Since the manifestations of such indiscriminate
hostility by the democracy, to this, the only means
of obtaining strength for the South, I have lost
mv sympathy on account of their votes on the sla
very questions that have been before Congress.—
In charity I had supposed they were given from
pure motives of justice and fidelity to the South,
but the present indications are, that unless aid
can he had through the Democratic party, it will
not be acceptable. The wish seems to be for
Democratic rather than Southern strength. The
reluctance that one might well have felt at being
found ill opposition to a party, right in so impor
tant a matter though wrong in others, is more
than neutralized at the humiliating discovery.
The American party cut lose from, and sent
howling t« their dens at tho North, the abolition
members of their body: the first time I believe that
a party has, in convention, separated from, and
publicly repudiated, apart of its body forttusound-
nc.-s on the slavery question.
The Democratic party still cherish in their ranks
the Van Burens, Kings, and fo ty-'.lirec membeis
of Congress who voted against the Nebraska-Kan-
sas bill; and through their President, (who too of
ten gives his platforms to the South and lfis acts
to the North,) have put under the ban, Dickinson,
Bronson, and others of the Hardshell Democracy,
the most uncompromising and reliable friends the
•South ever had beyond the Potomac—proving
“false alike to the friends who served, as well as
the foes who would have spared them.”
It lias been objected that the sound portion <>f
the American party, North, is too insignificant in
numbers to be relied on for support. It'not al
ready so, from present indications, it may, by the
time Kansas applies for admission, be more nu
merous than the sound Democracy North. But it
matters not whether it may be ten or thirty; one
vote may decide the question upon which the fate
of millions may depend.
If being admitted that if the Kansas hill passes,
it must be by an accession of Northern votes, tho
question constantly recurs; hoiv can they be had !
The democracy, (as admitted by Gov. Johnson
and as shown by the vote on the Nebraska-Kansas
hill, when fi rty-tlirce joined the Freesoilers,) is a
decaying' party, and like the old ivhigs, consuming
under the intense heat of popular indignation,
generated by the odiousness of that measure at
the North. If, notwithstanding their old demo
cratic prejudices and discipline, the^desert by
scores, we can hardly expect recruits even by
units.
If these old democratic principles are so exhaust
ed as not only to he unable to attract new mem
bers, but to hold the old ones, it is worse than
hopeless to expect accessions from such a drained
source. Indeed I don’t understand the party as
expecting any new recruits from that quarter.—
Then we must try new issues, new attractions,
and new powers of cohesion.
The American party arc tauntingly asked, if
the Georgia Platform is satisfactory to them, why
not join the democracy who have alreadly taken
their stand upon it. We object first, that they
have only squatted on one corner of it (the 4th
resolution.) as a possessory title to th ■ whole, fear
ing, at the same time to occupy other grounds very
tant to the old Union men of Georgia. Be-

A perfect Stampede.—On Saturday the 14th in
stant, it was publicly announced at the Court
House in this place, that there would be a meet
ing of the American (Know Nothing) party at the
place on the following Saturday, at which time
some fifty persons would probably apply for—
Well Saturday come, and with it the meeting, of
course, but instead of the fifty persons appearing
for initiation, a petition for withdrawal from the
order, signed by twenty-nine persons, was pre
sented, while we learn only one was intiated—he
was from California. We understand that the
Council at Moss Hill, in this county, lias hurst up,
and that many members are withdrawing from
other Councils in the county. We have it, also,
from credible authority, that if the Council in this
place ever meets again, there will he as many, if
not more withdrawals than at tho last meeting.
Verily. Sam’s strength is increasing rapidly in this
county, “over the left.” In addition to these
withdrawals, we have heard of several members
of the order, as well as some Whigs who arc not
members, declare that they could not support Mr.
Hawkins, while we have not heard but one man
say positively that lie would support him. Put
this and that together, and Mr. Hawkins’ chance
for election is as slim as a hickory shad in Au
gust. If any body doubts any of the above as
sertions, all wc have to say is, put us to the proof,
and ivc’ll substantiate them beyond cavil.
We would remark by way of postcript, that the
list presented for withdrawal from the Council in
this place, was composed of both Whigs and
Democrats.
P. S. Since the above was in type, we have
seen a list of eight more names that will be pre
sented to the next Council for withdrawal. An
ex-Kno’.v-Nothing, who had the list, infonns us
that there arc at least twenty or thirty more, who
will sign it by the next meeting. Stand from un
der Samuel, for the people are down upon you.

“I have been credibly informed that the dele- lInles an< P‘ aces -
gates sent from this (Taylor) county to the
Know Nothing State Council at Macon, reported
that only nine members had left the order in Tay
lor county, which I can assure you is utterly un
true; and if what 1 say is disputed, I will forward
you a list of the names.
I carried a list to the Council at Butler with some
nine or ten names, that all came out at once.
Seventeen left the Council at Reynolds, in said
county, at one time, and others at various/other
times. Some half dozen have quit atthcDavis-
ton Council,and they are withdrawing from all
the Councils as far as I can learn. There are
whole sou’.ed Whigs and noble hearted Democrats
coining out and taking a decided stand side by-
side, and battling for equal rights and constitu
tional liberty men, that love Rome butter than
Ceazar. You may rest assured, there is yet a num
ber of Republicans in Taylor, that will quit the
order before the election.”

there was hope of conquest, are not safe deposito
ries of its guardianship. And this is being made
manifest by the indifference, not to say unwilling
ness, as I have shown, to arrest a crisis which
must bring about a disruption of the confederacy.
Those who a few years since thought the admis
sion of a State irith such institutions as she might
choose to adopt concerning slavery, a good cause
for disruption, but now hold a restriction upon her
discretion likenise a good cause for similar action,
would seem to he looking only for an occasion
or excuse for dissolution, regardless of the cause.
Thus ■ who fought to maintain the principles of
the Georgia Platform, can have hut little of the
‘gall of bitterness,’ not to feel indignant, at secF”
inc their enemies in that contest bestride it. and

Having examined the questions on which the
1 lemocratic and American parties seen to agree, I
may on some future occasion notice those on which
they are avowedly hostile.
I approve tlic platform of the American party,
adopted at Macon on the 27th June, 1855, and
with it, the platform of principles adopted by the
late National Council of the American party at
Philadelphia, and the Georgia platform of I85d, a.s
indicating the right policy in the event of the con-
tingerules therein mentioned. And with a due ap
preciation of the honor involved in the nomination
mentioned in your lettor, I accept it with a high,
not to say, painful sense of the responsibilities in
curred by position. According to a late, and much
to he regretted innovation, one of those responsi
bilities, might seem to be a general canvass of the
State. As you know, Sir, the nomination was im
posed upon me after my refusal to accept. I
might well plead this as a reason why I should he
excused from this disagreeable labor. I fear,
however, I have one of a more imperative nature.
For some time past I have been afflicted with an
infirmity of voice occasioned by a life of hard
speaking, which 1 apprehend will fail to sustain
me in canvassing the State.
A Hich Incident—Know Nothingisin in Distress.
AVe have seen a letter from a gentleman of the
highest respectability in Wilkes county, to a gen
tleman ofthis city, stating the following interest
ing and amusing circumstance:
He states that the President of one of the Know-
Nothing Councils of Augusta, had sent by the
same mail tiro seperate letters, to tiro distinct gen
tlemen (whose names are given,) iu Washington
informing each one that hr was the choice of the
Know-Nothings for Congress, and asking him if
lie would accept.
Both gentlemen declined the honor, and declar
ed their determination to support Mr. Stephens.
The letter concludes by stating that one of
these gentlemen “q nits the Knoiv-Nothings this
evening, and so will many others. Stephens will
get a fine vote in Wilkes county.” No doubt of
it. How can a party be sustained iu a communi
ty where such double dealing and want of sin-
j eerily are exposed.
The Know Nothings arc sadly put to it for a
candidate. Passing by members of their own Or
der, they have gone first to outsiders and begged
them to he. candidates. They have solicited first,
the lion. Charles J. Jenkins, and he refused.—
Then they soiicted the Hon. George W. Crawford,
and ho refused. Being disappointed out of the
(.brier, they now try two at once and they refuse.
The honor of a Know Nothing nomination, must
under these circumstances, he somewhat at a dis
count: Perhaps, if the President of the Council
will write three or four more just such letters, to
as many distinct persons in the Order whom we
might name, and who have been talked of for the
nomination, he might meet with better success..
Perhaps they might all accept.—Const- Sf Hi public

reply was, “if five hundred was not enough, we
can order some more.” Now this job is not being
ordered for fun or for nothing. It is a clear indi
cation that resignations are becoming so common
that it is a labor to write them: * * *
“We have the most positive assurance that the
defections from the order are of daily and nightly
occurrence, and in such numbers, that the Know
Nothing leaders are greatly alarmed. We would
not be surprised if the example already sot were
the precursor of a regular stampede, which would

me like the witchcraft of olden times. No one
can be a member of the Order w ithout falsifying

constantly told, a practice that must soon prove
subversive of all confidence between man and

it will remain! Of my old friends, Whigs and
