Firiucol Jollification, Hut X* 1*0)- For
The Kiygrrs.
Last December, after the Black Republicans bad
been beaten in the race for'the Presidency, they
determined that they would •'have some tun any
how.” And as they had tendered themselves ri
diculous for the sake of niggers, they concluded it
was but just that, in fheir jollification, niggers
should “pay the fiddler.” So they got up a feast
of good things at the Academy of Music in New
York, and then- Gov, King, and many other dis
tinguished Africans, partook hugely of “meats,
wines, fruits, and other articles usually supplied at
a festival of the kind aforesaid"—as isalledged in
plaintiff's affidavit—to the amount of $1512.20,
which tile said distinguished Africans refuse to
pay. This feast was prepared by “o.ie Tunis J.
Campbell, a colored mail,” who now is forced to
the alternative at bringing suit against Gov. King
and bis immaculate confreres, for the purpose of
recovering the amount in their behaif laid cut and
expended. Besides the good tilings furnished for
the feast by our worthy colored brother Campbell,
to his ungrateful white brethren, lie employed, to
wait upon them, “sixty three black servants.”
And yet neither they, nor Campbell, have ever re
ceived any pay for the same, but are forced to a
Court of Justice to get their dues.—This is the
way the “Freedom Shrickers” treat their colored
friends.

“The Young Men's Christian Association in Mon

Standard, “withdrawn from the Confederated Asso

account ot the relation of the latter to slavery.”
So here is another association of fools at la'ge,
doing all they can to perfect themselves in the

Mr. T. J. Bowen, who spent several years iu
Central Africa, under the auspices of the Southern
Baptist Board, has lately published a book, in
which he says, without vouching fur the truth of it,
however:—
“The Moors and Arabs who had been every
where, had told them wondeiful stories of still
other countries and tribes far off in the east. Some
where on the other side of Yukoou, is a tribe of
people called Alakere, none of whom are more than
three feetin height. The chiefs are a little taller than
the common people. The Alakere are very ingen
ious people, especially in working iron, and th“V
are so industrious that their towns are surrounded
by iron walls. Beyond these are a tribe called
Aiabiru, who have short inflexible tails. As the
stiffness of their tails prevents the Aiabiru from
sitting flat on the ground, every man carries a
sharp pointed stick with which he drills a hole in
the earth to receive his tail while sittting. They
are industrious manufacturers of iron bars, which
they sell to surrounding tribes. All tbe fine swords
in Sudan are made from this iron. 'J he next tribe
in order .are the Alabicwoe, who have a small goat-
Tke hoin projecting from the middle of their fore
head. For all that, they are a nice kind of black
people, and quite intelligent- A woman of this
tribe is now in slavery at Qffa, near Iiiorrin. She
always wears a handkerchief around her head, be
cause she is ashamed of her horn. There are other
people in this “Doko” region who have four eyes,
and others who live entirely in subterranean galle
ries These wonders were attested by natives and
Arabs.”
“It is rumored'’ that certain of the Black Repub
licans, failing to secure equality among the races
of the earth by dragging down Southern negroes
to thrir level, have come to the conclusion to en
deavor to elevate themselves to the standard of the
more degraded African tribes. Seward, Wilson.
Greely, Chcever, Kailoch. Beecher, Parker and
others, upon rending Mr. Bowen's account of these
Lalf-brute tribes in Central Africa, have gotten up
a company for the purpose of importing some of
tbc-ir members into this country, to serve as mod
els for those of the faithful who are looking up in
the scale of animated existence. There has been a
warm discussion among the leading abolitionists as
to which of these tribes they would attempt to im
itate. Wilson, it is understood, goes in for the
caudated race, because, if he should so far improve
as to be able to grow a tail, lie will have ready to
hand an instrument to drill his holes in the ground,
in the walking stick rifle which he got in the hab
it of carrying to keep Brooks from beating him.
Kailoch prefers the negro with the horns,because,
as he ha-- lately placed r. pair upon his neighbor,
he thinks he might possibly succeed in growing
one upon himself. Beecher also prefers horns, be
cause the master whom lie serves has those appen
dages. Seward wishes to imitate the negro with
four eyes, because he desin s to see all round him
at the same time: While Chcever wants to have
tbe tail, horns and eyes all, so that he may be nig
ger all over, and catcli tip with Beecher, of whom
hep's very jealous on account of the start, which
has been gotten of him by the ministers resident of
the devil in Brooklyn. We leave the abolitionists
to settle these matters among themselves, onlv ad
ding the hope that they may succeed in improving
their condition. Perhaps a fair compromise among
them would be to try to imitate those negroes who
live in “subtemneran galleries,” because the ex
perience which each and ail of them have in the
underground railway, could be made available in
their contemplated improvement.
'-Rotation in Ollier—A Compliment to the
ftonth.
With unfeigned satisfaction wo accept the abun
dant assurances that Mr. Buchanan is resolved not
to observe tlie principle of rotation in his appoint
ments from the South. This decision on the part
of the Administration implies the highest compli
ment to the intelligence, independence, and integ
rity of the citizens of the slave-holding States.
There may be no injustice in assuming that the
people of the North are attached to party by cor
rupt considerations, and have helped to save the
Union only from regard to its honors and emolu
ments. Mr. Buchanan ought to understand the
character of his own neighbors; and if he appre
ciate” their patriotism a* the prefer figure, perhaps
he is right in distributing the offices of Govern
ment inTeward for the personal services of his pe
culiar friends.”
We clip the above from The South to say there
is neither v ivdom nor justice in it. It is not wise
to impuern tbe motives of ourNorfhorn friends who
have aided to beat down the Black Republicans,
and who have borne the heat and brunt of the
battle. It is not just to speak of those honest pa
triots at the North, who went against Fremont, as
"helping to save the Union, only from regard to its
honors and emoluments.' It is not just to impute
to Mr. Buchanan in the distribution of executive
patronage, such a dispensation of that patronage
as will corrupt men into the support of the admin
istration Let The South say just as nmch as it
pleases in favor of the honor and honesty of South
ern men, and as much as it pleases a'gainst the
knavery aud corruption of the Black Republicans.
But it should not furnish the opposition with
weapons to fight tbe administration, and its North
ern supporters.
The Dny Bool* and iHe AcIminiNtrnlion.
What is the matter with tbe New York
Booh, that It is making such outrageous attacks
upon the administration? In the first place, it
denounced the New York appointments of Mr.
BnehatLMi. and is particularly ferocious against
Fowler, the Nee Y’ork post-master, when every
one else is loud in bis praise. Here is a very seri
ous charge, indeed, made by tbe Day Pool; against
Isaac V. Fowler—none the less serious on account
of the covert character of the charge :—
“Centreviile, Fia., April 17, 1857.
Editor Day Rook—
1 forward yon three dollars for throe more copies
of the Day Book. What is the trouble with the
mans? We have not received the Day Book at
onr office in three weeks. We are lost withont it.
rlease inform us what is tbe trouble, if you know.
Yours truly, A. R. C.
W^nnvTiri^?'. - vou w 'iai is the matter,
tn a bundle e'i t ') !r ‘y-tbree papers are tied up
in a bundle every Week directed to vou and denns
ited in our post-office. We furtW know that ffie
Day Look is what i» called a radical pro-slaverv
paper and Out our post master is an Abolitionist.
Put this and that together, and draw your own
conclusions. It is too bad, but we can’t help it ”
Here is a virtual charge that newspapers are ab
stracted from the New York post office by the post
master. Mr. Buchanan's late appointee, because
that post-master is an abolitionist, and tbe ab-
Damn with faint praise, assent with civil leer.
And without sneering teach the rest to sneer.”
1 Under the guise of friendship, the paper whose
' 'nurse we are criticising, approaches Mr. Cohh.
ind then seeks to stab him under the fifth rib.
'ommeuting upon some remarks from the Tribune,
it thus makes its insidious thrusts at Howell
{Cobh:—
••The payment of Mr. Thompson's claim, so
’flon alter its refusal bv the ou'going adniiiiistra-
, ion. looks bad, we will admit,and it is unfortunate
tor President Buchanan’s administration, consider-
l big a'l the circumstances, that it should have been
, bine by Mr. Cobb. The public bad learned to res-
' pect Secretary Guthrie’s opinion, and the confi-
; dence the country reposed in him was almost un-
i hounded. For Secretary Cobb, therefore, to re-
j verse one of his decisions so suddenly and without
] due consideration and care, is likely to provoke
j criticism if not suspicion. Mr. Guthrie would
I have sooner paid the §40,000out of his own pock-
I **t, than to have taken it from the Treasury of the
j f- nited States to give to a claimant whose claim he
did not believe well founded. Had Secretary Cobh
taken Mr. Guthrie’s decision as primn fucie evi
dence of the injustice of the demand, and required
proof of its legitimacy, it wuuid have appeared
much better than it now does, and his friends
would have been able to defend him on just and
reasonable grounds; as it now stands, the least
said about it the better.”
•Sothe Dai) Book sets out with pretending to de
fend Mr. Cobb, and winds up with saying, virtual
ly, that his case admits of no defence, lor his con
duct is totally wrong. At the same time, it fails to*
fell its retders that Cobb submitted Thompson's
claim to Attorney-General Black, who reported in
favor of its payment. And this is enough without
saying one word more.
We have been among the foremost to rccom-
•nend the Day Boat: to Southern patronage. YY'o
are sincerely its friend, and trust that it will con
tinue to deserve Southern support. But it may
not hope to do so, if it becomes such an efficient
ally of the Black Republicans as sueii extracts as
the above will assuredlv make it.
Plaring into the lisriuy'* Hand.
YY’e would have been pleased, before comment
ing upon a communication which lately appeared
in the Macon Telegraph, concerning certain alleged
“divisions” in the Democratic party, and which
has mightiiy rejeieed the hearts of our foes, to
have seen the paper which originally contained
it, and to have known what, if any, sanction was
given it by the editor As it is, we have to depend
for our knowledge of that article upon extracts
from it given by the Savannah Republican, in a
jollification editorial over the communication in
the 'Telegraph. It seems a perfect god-send to the
Republican; and this is amply sufficient evidence
that it is detrimental to the interests of the Demo
cratic party.
The writer In the Telegraph, after enumerating
four divisions in the Democratic party—Union
1 > inocrats. Southern Rights I leinnerats, Southern
Rights YY’higs a; d anti-Know Nothing Whigs—
goes on as follows:— . .
“As one of the Southern Rights Democrats, th<-
writer confesses that this comparison is not so flat
tering but that he can repress any exhibition of
gratification. Upon a calm survey of the subject,
he finds himself fully able to master his transports '.
The Southern Rights Democrats compose three-
fourths of the party at. the South: yet if they go
to Washington, it is unquestionable that they find
themselves icithout the confidence of the President:
while in Georgia, largely exceeding the other “di
visions” in point of members, and certainly not
inferior either in talent or patriotism they find
themselves reduced to this beggarly reckoning. The
writer is no prophet, nor yet the son of a prophet:
but it requires no extraordinary perception to see
that it is not prudent to aggravate this state
of tilings by additional discriminations against the
Southern Rights wing of the party. It is not wise:
it is not politic: it is not right: and it must inevi
tably lead to dissension and discontent. It is the
last straic that breaks the camel s back.”
We state, as a matter of justice, that we do not
know whether the italics in the above extract are
.the Telegraph correspondent’s, or those of the Re
publican—This we do know, that such sentiments
as the above, are calculated, if not designed, tu d*.
an immensedeal of harm to the Democracy. It is
encouraging divisions, bickerings, and mutual
distiust in cur ranks. YY'e had thought, and so
does every good Democrat think, that past divis
ions in our ranks, were entirely closed up and for
gotten. To open old sores is neithera very agree
able, nor very honorable task. It is'certainly one
calculated to confound our own party, and build up
the enemy’s. We say emphatically, it is not true
that Southern Rights Democrats are “without the
confidence of the President.” We say emphati
cally, that there is :io “discrimination against the
Southern Rights wing of the party.” For how
can there be, when three fourths of the Democrat
ic party in the South, according to the Telegraph
writer, and the tiuth, are Southern Rights Demo
crats? If there is any discrimination—as there is
not—the Southern Rights Democrats discriminatt
against themselves: for they have the numbers
and the power. And being so circumstanced, if
they do not discriminate against their brethren
who belonged to former different organizations, it i-
because they possess a magnanimity and generosi
ty in t he actual conferring of furors, which tin
Telegraph writer would do well to study and n:ak<
the basis of his own conduct.
If we maybe permitted to refer to the nomina
tion of a candidate for Governor, with reference ti
past divisions, so as to show how entirely ground
less are the positions and surmises of the Telegraph
correspondent, we will say, that the writer of this
article, under former divisions, was a Union Dem
ocrat. Y'et in the gubernatorial nomination to b<
made, his first choice was a Southern Rights Deni
ocrat: and his second choice was a Southern
Rights Democrat. On the other hand, we know
some who were tlie very warmest Southern Rights
Democrats, whose choice for .Gov ernor was a Union
Democrat.
YY'e have seen a disposition on the part of cer
tain restless spirits to revive old issues, to the de
struction of the Democratic party. Certain ot
them have counted upon pulling the Southern
Rights string, in order to bring about confusion
and disorder in our ranks. But we have conversed
with leading, and warm Southern Rights Demo
crats of ’51, and we know how heartily they de
spise the efforts which are being made at disorgan
ization by an appeal to former divisions. And
yet they have not bated one jot, nor one tittle of
their Southern Rights principles; but when occa
sion calls for it, will assert and maintain them
And we will go with them. YY’hen the necessities
»i our section cal! for Southern Rights action, we
will obey them. When our enemies call for and
encourage a talk about Southern Rights, simply
to divide and conquer the Democracy, then we will
not respond. Let him whose Southern Rights pa
triotism does not go beyond the division of the
spoils, answer to the Paui Pry suggestions of our
enemies.

The Heroic ,t|ji! iu lliosnclinsett*.
Massachusetts has been a right great State—
that’s a fact. She has produced her YY'ehsters, her
Adamses, and other great men. She has tier Bunk
er Hiil Monument, her Faneuil Hall, her Plymoutl
“rio ts son of N*wv England, before he
d tlie two arts which place the cap
stone on lib character for virtue, piety and patri
otism,. and which will hand his name down to
posterity as the man of the age.
But before going farther, we must give our read
ers a specimen of Mr. Kalloch's brilliant oratory
at the close of the last campaign. In a glorifica
tion speech after the election, at Rockland, Maine,
he said:
“ YVe have laid Hint antiquated old fogy, Lewis
Cass, on the shelf of final retirement. YY’e have
buried Erastus Brooks, the most notorious and un
mitigated slanderer of Col. Freinont, under the
putrid mound of his own calumnies, and left him
to rot in the offal of political corruption. YVe have
compelled Buchanan to go into the Presidency
with hut a small majority, and under protest from
the Christianity, the intelligence and the decency
of the North.”
Such, in the reverend gentleman's own words,
were some of the things he had accomplished.
Ainongothcr things, he had compelled Mr. Buch
anan to go into the presidency “ under protest
from the Christianity, the intelligence, and the de
fence of the North':” that is. under protest from
the Rev. Mr. Kailoch. And in order to show how
much Christianity, intelligence and decency the
North, alias Mr. Kailoch has. as well as to show
what a temperance man lie is, he takes with him,
after delivering one of his lectures, his neighbor’s
wife, carries her to an assignation house treats her
ton nice “whiskey sling”—(more than a ‘‘clip of
cold water in the name of a disciple”)—and when
he has thus strengthened her moral constitution
for the reception of his instruction, proceeds to
give her lessons in that peculiarly Christian grace
of violating the seventh commandment. Such is
the immortal Mr. Kailoch !
But Massachusetts may boast of a Farrington
as well as a Kailoch. Tin* former, a clergyman in
the little village of North Cohassett, no doubt im
pelled by a virtuous emulation'to rival bis Boston
brother in deeds of renown, has been imparting
the same kind of instruction, to a Miss .Melissa
Sherman that Mr. Kailoch did to his neighbor s
wife, and has so far succeeded ns to induce the
maid to have as much regard for the decalogue as
did the matron. Happy Mr. Farrington!
But Ibis is not all yet. It seems they have a
nigger down in YVorcester, in the Massachusetts
State, ns rcmarknble for deeds of renown and
glory as either of the two white no n In a letter
from this place (YVorcester) dated the 10th April,
to the lb's ton Ilrralei, we find as good an account
of the colored gentleman’s heroism as we could
write ourself, and append it in the words of the
Herald correspondent:
“Thecity marshall dispatched two officers yes
terday forenoon to the residence of a big herculean
colored man, to arrest him for bigamy. Officers
went and found the house barricaded, and Jake
looking defiance from the attic window. Officers
requested to be let in. Jake toid ’em ’twas no use
knocking at the door. Officers threatened to
“smash in” unless he speedily admitted them.
This the darkey didn’t seem at all inclined to
do, and manifested his unconcern by gyrating his
fingiTs from his nasal protuberance and indulging
in characteristic pantomime. Officers held a short
consultation, and then commenced to stave in an
entrance with an axe from the wood shed. Jake
gritted his teeth, clenched liis fists, and then came
down stairs and unbarred the door Officers threw
away their axe and entered, congratulating them
selves on the victory they had achieved. Jake
wanted to know “what was der muss.” 'Officers
said they’d come to arrest him. “Y'er have, have
vor: well den come on!” and irate colored gew-
man gave one officer a stroke under the ear and
kicked the other a la posterior.
Then ensued a scene, such as none but a police
officer ever witnessed. Pulling wool, tearing
clothes, kicking shins, bits, thumps, thrusts,
hiring, pulling twisting, shoving, jerking, till it
seemed as if they’d fight till one side or tlie other
got thoroughly used up. At last. Jake, whose
powers seemed not to he in the least impaired, by
excessive exertions, took tlie largest officer and
pitching him head first into a flour barrel, rol'ed
him out of doors and sent him on a floury pilgrim
age down the hillside. Returning, he seized the
other by the scat of his breeches, dipped his head
into a pan of molasses, and thence into a basket
of geese feathers, and then giving him a parting
admonition tp “let dis nigger alone in fntur,” be
sent him after his vanquished companion.”
If any tiling, the nigger excels Ins white breth

tuous act, but when set upon by the harpies of
the law to be persecuted for righteousness’ sal.e,

effective speech.

liance in the integrity, talent, and wisdom of
| James Buchanan, as evinced in the commencement
of his Administration, approving as wo do the
great principles embodied in bis inaugural.
Resolved, That we sustain the Administration in
carrying out the principles enunciated by the

ing as we do, that the advocacy of these principles,
are the onlv means which will insure continued
success to the Democracy, and maintain the
stabiltiy of the country.
Resolved, That we unite with the counties who
have expressed themselves through the press, in
congratulating tlie country upon the accession of
Howell Cobh to the Seerearysliip of the Treasury
in the Cabinet of Mr. Buchanan. And especially
would we congratulate the Sixth District upon the
honor conferred in assigning so ele vated a position
to her most distinguished son; believing as we do,
that Howell Cobb is the Statesman—not alone of
Georgia, but of the United Stnt
does,the patriotis
vannah and Madison papers.

Therefore
Resolred, That the Hon. William H. Stiles is
the choice of the Democratic party of Effingham,

State Convention.
Resolred, That the well tried services of Mr.
Stiles in the Congress of the United States, as a
foreign Ambassador of the Government, as speak-
a broad axe! The Grangers have one missing,
probably both killed. The body of a man was
found upon the Lake near the bouse, so mangled
that it was impossible to recognise him. Signs
indicative of a fight were seen about this bouse.
They next went to Mattox’s liouse, where eleven
were found. This house had been burnt. Tlio
men and women shot, and children tomahawked,
w ere some twelve persons—one missing.
The troops found about twenty-five men. wo
men and children upon tlie praitie, some of whom
had beer, wounded by the Indians. They were
cr of the House of Representatives, and his ef- w ithout provisions, scantily clothed and exhausted
fi, ncy and influence iu the late Congress, entitle
him to the confidence and support of the Demo
cratic party.
Resulted, That as, since 1810, a Governor has
not been elected from the Eastern district, we
arncstly appeal to our brother Democrats through
by fatigue.
The Indians have taken four women prisoners.
It is supposed that about seventy persons have
been killed and taken prisoners.
On the Kith, tlie citizens of Mankato, learning
of the outrages committed by the ludiaus on the

tbe trees. Another conflict occurred—five Indians
were killed.
The Indians then retired to a block house, and,
on one of them making liis appearance, lie was
shot by a Mr. Johnson. Just as the boat was
leaving St Peter's, a messenger arrived, bringing
intelligence of a battle on the YVatowan, about
thirty miles above Mankato, between the volun
teers under the command of Gen. Dodd and the
Indians, in which the latter lost twelve—whites
none.

of the remedy. Iu this country, dyspepsia has
heretofore been so common a complaint, that it
might almost be termed a “national institution.”

YVe condense from a report in the Canstitionnal-
ist such a portion of the proceedings of the Georgia
Baptist Convention, at Augusta, on Monday, as
may be interesting to our rcadeis.
A great ponion of tbe day was spent in discuss-
indhe propriety of concentrating all the means,
pecuniary' and literary, within the r*‘Mch of the so
ciety upon the Mercer University, instead of diffus-
mg it among tlie several colleges. No definite ac-
tion was arrived at. however, with the exception of
letting the matter alone. The report of tho C om

tlie standard of tho university. The following gen
