rally setting forth the position of the party in
respect to tbe whole subject of slavery, we
were Inclined to give it onr unqualified appro
val.” A change* has however como over the
spirit of his dreams alter a more ** thorough
examination.” We too have given that plat,
form a careful, and attentive perusal and, un
like the editor of the Southerner, approve of
Us doctrines tod sentiments. Wo now as fear-
tortiy assert, as the gentleman broadly de
clares to the contrary, that -Southern men, and
especially Georgian* will approve of them also.
In order to a rightful understanding of the
12th article it should be read connectedly and
not In detached qlanses. Our cotemporary
is chargeable with much unfairness in placing
so much stress upon the words u pretsrmitting’'
and “ought” when considered with reference to
the conuexton in which they are found. The
article distinctly anour.ciates it to be the '•stats
of the National Council that Congr*** ponettt*
no power, wader the constitution. to legislate
upon the tab*eel rf Slavery in the State* where
it DOES or scat exist, or to exclude any State
from, admission into tie Union because its Con
ttitution pots or does rot rocognim the iuttitu-
Won <f Slavery at a part of its soeial system
Then oomee the danse upon which the South
erner harpe in anch a **” bombastic stylo. It
reads as follows—“and especially pretermit
ting any expression of opinion upon the power
of Cong rot* to eetdblish or prohibit tl every in
any territory, it is tbebinsr or Tan National
Corsetl, that Congress ought ROT TO LEGIB-
LATE UPON THE SUBJECT OT SLAVEBT WITHtR
TBE TXBRITOBT OT TBB UNITED STATES etc.
Now any man who wiH carefully road the
latter extract, with strict reference to the for
mer, must deduoa the conclusion that it tea*
the sense of the Natienal Council that Congress
has no power to legislate upon the subject of
slavery in the Territories.
** Pretermitting” (omitting) an expression of
opinion” however it has expressed its convic
tions that Congress should not interfere with that
subject even if it A ad the power, a power which
the Convention has contended in no form nor
shape.
To jostily ourself in this construction, we
quote from an abolitionist journal, which, if it
had supposed the platform forored its cause in
the least, would hare eulogized it as much as it
denounces it. We ask the editor of the South
erner and all who may have been misled by his
garbled and sophisticated article to road the
following extract:
** It was that 12th article os which thewhole
contest was waged, and those who voted for it
went to tbe council on purpose to establish its
main doctrine and to bind, if they could, all
the members of the party to go for it. If they
could secure that point they cared not a straw
for anyt' ing else. All the reports of tbe de
bates and the platform itself show that, and all
else in the platform must bo interpreted by
that one article. Wboevkb beads it CARE
FULLY, SEES THAT IT GOES THE ENTIRE LENGTH
OF TBE HOST ULTRA CLAIRS 6P TBB SOUTHERN
pro-slavery EES. The Fugitive Slave law
in all its ilifamous atrocity* and the violation of
Cbe Missouri compromise prohibition, are by it
made final and conclusive acts in spirit and in
substance, bt it Corobess is forbidder to
CHECK ART INROAD OF SLAVEBT IRTO FBEE TER
RITORY ROW UNDER, OB BTEB TO BE URDER Con
gressional control, and it it noror to know wheth
er or no a proposed new State it slaveholditg or
not!”
Tbe Southerner triumphantly asserts that
"onr State Convention of December 10, 1850,
solemnly announced the opinion of the people
of Georgia on the question of the power of
Congress to prohibit slavery in the Territory of
the United States.” We do not pretend to dis
pute this- The error Into which the Southerner
would allure-its readers oonsists in contrasting
the National Platform adopted by tbe American
Party, with a State Platform. Had the contrast
boon drawn between a National Democratic
Platform and that of the American Party it
would have been more jost, and alleviated onr
eotemporary of the charge of misrepresenta
tion to-which he Is now manifestly liable. We
now call upon him, yea, challenge him to cite us
to a National Democratic platform which ever
hat been adopted, that will bear a favorable
comparison with tbe one he now assails, espe-
ciallyjn reference to tbeprotection of Southern
interests.
If tbe Editor of the Southerner wishes to
draw a comparison between the respective plat-*
forms of the American and Democratic parties
of Georgia, we call bis attention to the one
adopted by the recent convention at Macon in
which the sentiments adopted in 1850 were con*
dtiionally re-affinned.
Correct (he Misstatement.
We are heartily sorry that the cause Of -truth
and tbe moral character of the Press is made to
suffer so egregionsly by the partisan zeal of
the Anti-American party. Tbe fact i« they are
becoming completely desperate and With un
mistakable symptoms of madness, seize bold
of not only tbe veriest straws, bnt even catch
at shadows and beams of moon-shine to stay
their sinking hopes. They chase after the
wildest ignet fatui till swamped in falsehood,
they find themselves besmeared with their own
scandal and misrepresentation. Tbo Allowing
which has been the rounds of the Anti-Ameri
can Press in Georgia is a specimen. We know
not who, under the “father of lies,” assumes
(be paternity of this one, bat believe it is tbe
Richmond Enquirer:
“Tbe “ten thousand Irishmen” who defeated
the know nothings in Virginia, unfortunately

Messrs Editors:
Tbe Democrats bad a convention appointed
on the 12th day of June, when delegates, men
of high station, repaired to tbe town of Calhoun,
tho renowned teat of Democracy. And along
with the delegates went a host of outsiders, to
rule the convention, and make it intent on being
the Regency’s tool—all for the good of the par
ty. They joggled in cliques before they went
there, then they juggled and juggled again,
thenhaUotted oft to make it look fair, then jug
gled and voted again—in order to fix it «/>
rightly.
“Bigfoot,” aud “Fishbite” were prominent
men, “Leander” the nominee Judge, and Neo-
phite ofTugalo, then ''Little Woof,” bat this
was all fodgo for nobody went for
“Harmonicas.” Sheep without a shepherd are
sometimes estrayed, and flocks without bell*
weathers scatter. So the Regency’s canning
essayed to put the boll back on the latter—to
give it a “Pleasant direction.” Bat the bell-
weather seems still in doubt, for although ho
may hear the bell ring, yet from the way that
the sheep run abont, he can't ray it's the genu
ine thing—he wore when he was hearing the
erook. Whether bo will refuse to accept, or
whether he will run for the prizes, is more than
the skill of an adept can diviefi with his natural
eye?—butono or two others I know would.—
But Neophyte the second, from Cass, has laid
down the Neophyte rule that a Neophyte’s ser
vice should last for the term of seven years on
a stool before he can be available. To Little-
woof, “Fishbite,” Leander Judge, Neophytes
all and Barnaby (D)rudge, yon may lay down
your fiddle and bang np your bow, and seratoh
with yonr finger on the top of your head, at
the place whore the wool ought to grow.

For tho Courier.
Why does Col. Hardin refuso to answer onr
questions? His silence confirms tbo report
that upon assuming tha Presidential Chair of
that Convention, he made an elaborate speech,
which had been well memorized, and in which
be charged tbe American Party, to consist of a
set of “ Secret, hypocritical, oath-bound, mid
night assassins. We ask him for his raisons.
Tbe Public interest requires that he should
furnish the evidence upon a question so impor
tant and a charge so grave. Has Ms loathing
and contempt—already reached its climax—
or does ho fear that an effort to explain
would only involve himself and bis confede
rates more deeply in the .slough of politics
corruption ?

purposes, by corrupt political demagogues, ns
to nnuso tbe’forelgn element to grow np to bo
a dangerous power In onr midst, deciding

Reeder from office, when it was first known
that he had used his official station both to en
able him to speculate in tho Indian Reserva
tions. and to sustain and carry out the views of
tho Free Soil party of Kansas.
Revolved. 6th, That this Council, (while re
pudiating tho policy of allowing, in tbe future
legislation of the country, unnaturalized for
eigners to vote in the Territorial eleetfons,)
regards all opposition to the principles of the
Nebraska, Kansas Act, in relation to slavery,
as hostility to tbe constitnional rights of the

not designed, to defeat the acquisition of that
Island. WILLIAM HONE,

The “Rome Regency” has nominated the fol
lowing persons for tho Legislature: J. W. H.
Underwood for the Senate, W. B. Terhune,
and M. H. Hayxie for tho House. What use is
there in calling tbe people together next Tues
day, or at any other time to make nominations
when two or three men in a back room .cancns
have already made the nominations—for form
sake I suppose. CORNELIUS.

The American Movement is a great faet. It
says, with Socrates: “All that I know is that I
know nothing and, with this modest device,
mocks at the pedantic world, and carries every
thing before it. It 'plants itself on its instincts,'
as Emerson says, “and shoots up to the skies.”
Seeming at first but a mere mushroom, it has
extended its myriad roots all through the coun
try and its branches now round over it like the
arms ofa great banyan tree. It has taken the
sun from all its shrivels, and shriveled them in
to dwarfs. To drop the figure, it is tho -only
party in the country which has any vigor, any
freshness, any enthusiasm, or any pluck.-—
Wbigs, Democrats, Old Hunkers, Barnburners,
Woolly-beads, Silver-grays, Hard Shells, Soft
Shells, have all been extinguished by it. Right
or wrong, it seems destinod( though there is no
telling what a day may bring forth) to sweep
over the country like a tornado.
What great purpose of Providence this Inde
finable conglomeration of sects and parties is to
answer, is one of those intricate probloms which
it is impossible to solve; tbo instincts of the
people are as inscrutable as tho wnys of God.—
Sometimes it seems to us a good movement,.and
sometimes a bad movement; but we can never
contemplate it without a secret*—and, to tell
the truth, disagreeable,—consciousness of its
strength. Its success seems as inevitable ns
Pate. We don't know whether to love it or to
hate it. To despiselt, or treat it with indiffer
ence, is impossible. It has an odor about it
which is rathe! 1 nauseous than otherwise, but
which, when ycu “get used to it,” is not so dig.
agreeable after all. It smells a little like tbe
powder of'76. It has, moreover, a Yankee-
doodle, Fourth-of-July, star-and stripe, figbt-
bieod-and-dio, pop-goes-the-weazel, long-dive-
tbe-Union, old Continental, do wn-witb-tbe-
Popc, manifest-destiny kind of air about it,
which tnAkes us run after its j recessions like
children runniog after tho “sogers.”—N. York

Politics in Hancock County.
Mr. Stephens made a speech of more than two
honrsln length at Sparta, Hancock county last
Friday. After It was finished his auditors hav-
been organized Into a meeting by appointment
of a ebarinaan and secretary, a series of resolu
tions were offered by Col. Thomas Turner, in
support of the principles of the Know Nothing
party. They wore opposed by Mr. Stephens
with mneh zeal and vehemence. Upon the vote
the chairman thought by tho sound that there
was a majority of noet; but a division having
been called for and those in favor of them being
told to rise “tbe resolutions wore passed by a
large majority.” So says the proeedings which
we find in tbe MiUedgevtlle Recorder. The
meeting cloiod without a formal adjournment.
A Goon Joke.—Tho city authorities of Ma
rysville, California, recently passed an ordin
ance for the removal of outside stairs in that
city, Wbiio tho Council were in session a few
days after, the stairs leading to tbe Counci

berg of that body, according to the Herald, were
compelled to “shin” dona.the post of tbe build

General Jackson.
BY GEORGE LIPPARD.
He was a man! Well do I remember, the
day I waited upon him. Ho sat there in his
arm chair—I can see that warrior face, with its
snow white hair, now. Wo told him of tbe
public distress—the manufactures ruined, the
eagle shrouded in crape, which was borne at
the bead of twenty thousand men into Inde
pendence square. He heard us all. Wo beg
ged him to leave the deposits where they were;
to uphold the Great Bank in Philadelphia.
Still he did not say a word. At last one of oar
number more fiery than tho rest, intimated that
if tho Bank was crashed r- rebellion might fol
low. Then the old man rose—I can see him
yet. “Come,” he shouted, in a voiee of thun
der, ns his clenched right hand was raised high
above his white hairs; “Como with your bayo
nets in yonr hands instead of petitions—sur
round the White House with your legions—I
am ready for you all! By the Eternal! with
the people at my back whom your grid can
neither bnv nor Awe, I will swing you up ronnd
the Capitol, each rebel of you, on a gibbet
high as Hamen’s.”
“When I think,” says tho author, “of that
one man standing thereat Washington, battling
with all the powers of Bank and Panic combi
ned. betrayed-by those in whom he hnd trusted,
assailed by all that the snake of malice could
hiss, ortho fiend of a falsehood howl—when I
think that one man placing his back against
the rock, and folding his arms for the blow,
while he uttered his awful vow—“By the Eter
nal! I will not swerve an inch from the course
I have chosen!” I must confess that tbe records
of Greece and Rome—nay, the proudest days
of Cromwell and Napoleon—cannot furnish an
instance of a will like that of Andrew Jackson,
when he placed life, soul and fame, on a hazard
of a die for the people’s welfare.
Laziness.—This is a great evil. This truth
is clearly -evidenced by tho conduct of too
many of our spocies. Idleness is bad cn.-ugb
of itself in all eoncience, but whea mon are
not satisfied with idling away their own time*
and are fonnd annoying their'fricnds nnd ac
quaintances by frequent nnd lengthy visits to
their places of business, it is intolerable. YouDg
men, you are just starting out on the theatre of
life, do not‘let It be said of you as it has been
truly said of others, “He has no energy.” If
you are out of employment, seek for it again ;
and if yon do not succeed, still keep trying,
and our word for it, you will not fail to pros
per. At any rate do not weary tho patience of
your friends by sitting about their counting
houses and their shops, yawning and wishing
for that which is'impossible. Depend npon it a
life of industry is the most cheerful situation
in which you can be placed.—Companion.
Opinions of American Generals on the
Siege of Sevastopol.—The Washington cor
respondent of tho New York Courier says :
Generals Scotland Jessup have, within a few
days expressed their opinon that tho allies can
not retreat from the Crimen without first captur
ing Sebastopol a coup de main, or beating the
Russian armies of the interior iu a pitched
battle. This opinion of the greatest military
authority in this country, if notin tho world,
is identical with suggestions mentioned in this
correspondence three months ago. Military
men here agree that the moment tho allies be
gin to withdraw* their men from fortified lines,
for tho pnrpose *f embarkation, tho Russians
will commence tho assault with irresistable
force. The seene of the 25th of Octdber and the
5th of November, will be repeated, with this
important difference, that the aesailants,hav-
ing forced the entrenchment of the allies, will
not bo driven out with the bayonet and the min-
nie rifle, but will pursue the retreating foe as
Wellington did the French in Spain, as the al
lies did Napoleon ntLeipsic. nnd ns tho French
followed Sir John Moore at Corunna.
If theso opinions bo correct—and they cor-
tainly como from very high military authority,
the allied forces occupy truly a 'lamentable po
sition before Sebastopol, not having the power
to advance, as experience has shown, and with
out tho poor privilege of a rotroat. Under these
circumstances, it is more than probable that
tbe mediation of the United States will be glad
ly received by the French and English, at least.
Principles! Principles!
Rend tho following from the Louisville Jour
nal, and you may lean, something ° f tho con*
tittenrg of the Anti-American party.
Tub Know-Nothing Party—What are its
PniNCJfLEii ? The Democratic Party— What
are its Principles ?—Tho Democratic oditors
spend nlmut half their tiroo iu telling what the
Know Nothing principles are and the other
half in inquiring what they are. Half tbo time i nnmon, 2ozS. Cloves,
tiiey know all about those principles, and the
other half they know nothing at all abont them.
One day they speak of them as perfectly no
torious, and tho noxt day they treat them as a
mystery that ought to be brought, to light. We
think that tbe principles of the American party
might very properly he declared more authori
tatively und formally than they have been, but
we repeat our assertion that tbe distinctive
principlesuf this party are oven now more de
finitely marked and better understood than
those of any other political party iu the United
States—infinitely better understood even by
tho Democrats themselves than Democratic
principles are. If a Democrat is asked what

Gov. Reeder Called to Account.—Wash*
ington, Juno 19.—Tne President has callod up
on Gov. Reeder and other Kansas official?,
to account for their speculations in lands with
halfbreod Indians, wnich is in direct violation
of an act of Congress.
He tells Reodor that he ennnot remain in of

shall be removed by satisfactory explantaions.
Reeder promises a reply to the Presiden when
be shall have reached Kansas.—Ex.
Political Intelligence.—Tho Washington
correspondent of tho Now York Deraid says:—
The President has finally determined to remove
Mr. Wilson, Commissioner of the General Land
Office. Ex Governor Shannon, of Ohio, vtho is
here, will bo tendered tho appointment.
Judge Young, of Illinois, I wns informed this
evening, will supersede Mr, Clayton as Second
Auditor.
Mr. M’Glellnnd, Secretary of tho Intorior, told
a friorid that if Wilson was removed, ho would
send in his resignation to tho President “Thd
President informed a gentleman this evening,
that Wilson, Commissioner of tho Gonerat Land
Office, Clayton, Secpnd Auditor, togethor with
190 dorks, were to bo decapitated ns fast os
lie can find persons to take their pieces:”
him be asked what tbe prim'iplea of his own
party are, aud ho either stands dumb or an
swers in vnguo and unintelligible generalities.
We would bero make a statement of tho Know
Nothing principles and measures, but indoed
they are so well known that even the briefest
statement of them is unnecessary.
But what, aro tho principles of the Democrat
ic party ? The organs and leaders and orators
of the party are forever talking about its prin
ciples, but we ask wbat those principles aro in
in regard to any one solitary measure of na
tional polioy? We know that Democratic na
tional conventions have assembled once in four
years and adopted resolutions professing to
set forth the opinions of the party upon certain
subjects, but those resolutions have generally
been s-udiedly ambiguous, admitting of con
structions to suit every section and every in
dividual. Tbe last Democratic National Con
vention adopted a series of vague resolutions,
and the shout was overy where raised that tbe
whole party concurred in them and was a unit.
Well the late Congress was elected almost im
mediately afterwards, and abont two-thirds of
tho members wore Democrats. And now we
may enquire if npon any question whatever of
national policy the overwhelming Democratic
majority in Congress mode even an approxi
mation to unity of sontiment and action.
Look at the land question. The Baltimore
convention passed a generalizing and equivo
cal resolution, upon the land question, nnd we
suppose that all tbe Democratic members of
Congress considered themselves as acting in
conformity with that resolution, yet they dif
fered with each other as widely as possible in
regard to tho land policy, and the President
differed with a majority of them. The Presi
dent, acting avowedly upon the Democratic
principles, put his veto npon an important land
bill which had passed both houses of the over-’
whelming and intensely Democratic Congress,
and tho reasons given for his veto were not
sutiefactery to a single Democrat who had vo
ted for tbe measure.
Look at the’internal improvement qneBtion
The Baltimore convention passed a resolution
upon that subject so susceptible of different and
even opposite interpretations that even tho most
skillful reader of riddles in the world could not
fix its true meaning, for it had none. It was
for internal improvements, or it was against
internal improvements. It made no tangible
declaration in regard to anything but “a gener
al system of internal improvements,” and it
was very careful not to explain what it meant
by “a general system of internal improve
ments.” Well the late overwhelmingly Dem
ocratic Congress passed an internal improve
ment bill ia supposed conformity no doabt with
the Baltimore resolution, but tbe Democratic
President put his veto upon it in snppoaed con
formity no doubt with the Baltimore resolution;
and, when the bill went back to tbe House of
Representatives, that Democratic body, Dem
ocratic by two to one, cast a majority for it in
spite of the veto, and in supposed conformity
no doubt with the Baltimore resolution.
Look at the tariff. The Baltimore conven
tion passed a shuffling resolution in regard to
tho reduction of the tariff and against tlie
principle of protection. AH admitted that the
tariff should be reduced, for it yielded far more
revenue than was needed for an economical
administration of the Government. But the
late Democratic Congress, the -most thorough
ly Democratic Congress that the country ever
had and a far more thoroughly Democratic
one than it will over have again, lived and
died without reducing tbe tariff upon any ar
ticle whatever or touching the protective prin
ciple. We hear from divers Democratic organs
that a strictly revenue tariff is a strictly Demo
cratic principle, and tbe Democratic President
has said as mnch in his messages, bnt the Dem
ocratic Congress that represented directly the
Democracy of the nation neither touched tbe
tariff nor agreed as to the principle npon which
it should be touched. The Democratic mem
bers of Congress, all having their eyes fixed
npon the Baltimore resolutions, differed just as
much with each other as they did with the
Whigs.
And we defy any Democratic organ to point
to a single debateable measure of national pol
icy which came np in the last Congress without
creating an important division among the Dem
erols of that body. The cause of all this dis
cord in democratic practice is perfectly well un
derstood. There are no such things as fixed
Democratic principles. There are no such
things as fixed Democratic measures. An able
Southern editor justly remarks that the Dem
ocratic leaders, with an eye to the -interests of
their party, agree upon certain formulas of
words as enunciative of their party principles
—they agree -upon the form of words for the
sake of appearing to agree—for party purposes
—for-catching votes at the North and at the
South ; but when they are called upon to pnt
the prinoiples into practice they immediately
fall to loggerheads, because one portion of them
understood tbe words in one sense nnd another
ia a different sense—both being perfectly aware
at the same time of this double sense in whiah
tbe words were understood. Thus when the
President in his last annual message to Con
gress, renewed his recommendation of a reduc
tion of the duties on imports “with -a view to
revenue and not protection,” which he added,
may now be regarded as the settled policy of
the country,” the Democrats North and South,
concurred in the propriety of the recommend-,
ation. Net a murmur of dissent from the Dem
ocracy was beard to mar the harmony of tbe
general Democratic chorus which pealed forth
throughout the length and breadth of the land
in praise of the message. But no sooner did
the President’s own chosen secretary—bis own
revenue mouthpiece—sent into Congress his.
plan of reduction, than a great Democratic
caterwauling broke npon the public ear. The
Demooratic free-trade members of the Commit-:
tee of.Ways and Means, who had charg eof the
subject,.objected toto to Mr. Guthrie’s plan, and
the Democratic organ at Washington, the Sen
tinel, which may be regarded as specially re
flecting tbe Southern Democratic free-trade
views, fell aboard of the Democratic Secretary,
of tho Treasury’s Democratic plan of reduction
in the most savage manner ! And, as wo said
before, tbe Demooratio Congress began and
closed its lifo without laying a finger upon the
tariff.
We ask, then, what aro Democratic prinoi
ples ? Isn’t it amusing, very amusing to hear
tho Democratic organs denouncing the Ameri
can party as a party of unknown principles ?—
Does not overy man of ordinary intelligence
in tho nation know moro of the American par
ty’s distinctive principles in one minute than
the whole Democratic party will ever know of
its own principles in all its life ?

Proscription at Washington.
The Cabinet at Washington are still engaged
in the contemptible and disgraceful business of
proscribing mechanics, clerks, Ae., employed
by government, on aeeonnt of their polities!
opinions. From the most insignificant employ,
ment up to important elerks, who have oeenpied
their positions undisturbed through successive
Administrations, and whose efficiency is unques
tioned, tbe guillotine sweeps remorselessly at
ong. Tbo following are tome specimens addi
tional to those heretofore published, which have
recently oome to light:
Trkasubt Department, Juno 21, 1855.
Sir: Your services as a clerk in the Office of
the Register of tho Treasury are no longer re
quired.
I am, very respectfully,
JAMES GUTHRIE,
Secretary of the Treasury.
To Edwin Dibrell, Esq,
Register’s Office,
“Colonel Dibrell,” says the Washington Or
gan, “has always been a Democrat ofthe Jack-
son and Jefferson school, and aided to tbe ex
tent of his power in electing the presentfnenm-
bont, and this is his reward. We are authorized
to say that no clerk in the office to which he
belonged, has done more effective service than
Colonel Dibrell. We understand his place is
filled by a man who is not qualified for the du
ties performed by the late incumbent”
Here is another of those delectable missito
which Secretary Guthrie so delights in sending
out:
Treasury Department, Jone, 14,'’1855.
Sir : Your services as laborer in this Depart
ment are no loager required.
I am, very respectfully.
JAMES GUTHRIE.
Secretary of the Treasury.
Richard Carter, Esq.
Richard Carter was a humble laborer in the
Treasury Department whose whole offence con
sisted in refusing to vote an open ticket at tbe
late election in Washington City. We congra

Against the Union’s Platform.
Tbese able, influential and thorongbtly Sou
thern presses are fully and unreservedly, out
against tbe Union’s proposition, for Pierce A
Co., to “ignore” tbe slavery question, in the
Administration Platform. Tbese presses de-
nonce tbe attempt, as abase attack on Southern
Rights, and some of them say plainly that the
Union is bidding for the printing ofthe House,
and offering concessions to the Free Soilers i
Where, oh, where, are the Southern principles
of tbe Marcy administration ?
Two Southern Judges in Kansas bntehered,
Reeder’s free soilism endorsed, and tbe slavery
question ignored !
We rejoice to see the manly course of the pap
ers mentioned above. With such as them opposed
to the Administraton on the paramount question
of slavery, tbe great mass of Southern rights
men will “ignore” tbe infamous plotters at
Washington. Other papers—the Advertiser,
for instance—if they are afraid to condemn, at
least do not dare to defend! That is some
thing ! The leaders of the anti-American?, here-
are afraid to endorse the leading act of f&eirlea*-
ders!—Montgomery Mail.
Sam in Tuscaloosa.—The Observer (a dem
ocratic paper and too good a Southern sheet to
support tbo Arm of Fierce A Reeder,) declines
to support W. W. Masop, Esq , for tho Legisla
ture on the ground that he openly avows him*
self a Know Nothing. Tho Observer “would
have taken great pleasure in supporting Mr.
Mason,” if he had remained true to his party
allegianco.”
To be a domocrat in Alabama, it is required
that .tho applicant for party membership shall.
•1. Swear that he will stand by tho Pierce and
Reeder firm, “tiil his heels fly up!’’
2. That Gov. Fitzpntrick is alone fit to repre
sent tho party in the United States Senate.
(Query for country debating sooioties: Will
the Governor himself stand up to Pierce if be
turns our Reedor and Judge ELLMORE, on
tho ground of official speculation ?”)
It is a coincidence that another W. W. Ma
son (the late Chancellor,) in Macon county, is
“flying in the face of Piorco and Reedor,” by
running as one of the American ticket for the
Legislature. Now we submit, that if Pioroe and
Reedor domocraoy lose their Shortridges, Wal
kers, Masons, Cooks, Bradfords, Harrisons, Mo
Whortorsand Wallace (not, of course, mention
ing hundreds who aro not before the publio,) it
shows them that it is time to begin to shake tbo
free-toil dust of the administration from their
own feet.—Montgomery Mail.
