Stephens would he present; and doubtless It was antic! pated that when ho and Gov. Johnson mot on the same platform, tbo American partv would ho crashed to earth. Unfortunately, Mr. Ste- phens did not come. So tho Gov. was “done in his glory.” but doubtless felt that he was a “hoet ia kiouelf.’ About half past 10 o’clock tbe cry was heard iterated and reiterated through our streets, that “Hie Excellency" would address the people at Judge Lumpkin’s Ware House. * - Nearly everybody went down to hear tha Governor and doubtless this Dry Ret Party, or rather tho pbaprrs of it congratulated them selves and laughed In their sleeves that they had taken tbeerawd. Americans never sleep on guard however and when the time hod ar rived and the signal was given, such a stampede never was witnessed before.

They will doubtless be published. Allow me to say how ever, In passing that the meeting was not com. posed ot Whig* or Demecrats. hut here were united for a common purpose—tbe good of tbe country—good men and true of both old politi cal parties acting in concert to rid themselves and their country from the evila and abases of party domination. The principles of the Arne, riean party were read to tho meeting, and re ceived with great enthusiasm. They were ably and eloquently discussed Vr Col. Fouche' J. R. Alexander. Esq. and ( Dr. Miller, each of whom addressed the meeting for nearly an hour in their usual style, interrupted at frequent inter vals with great and entbnsfontic applause. For definite information on tbe subject, n oount was made of those present and itwss found that the American meeting numbered nearly, or qnlte. 450. while the Foreign party all told could pot number more than one-third that number. Whilst the “Exodus” was going on in their meeting. Judge Lumpkin paused until the noise and confosion should subside sufficient, ly to allow him to be heard. At the eone1n« •ion of his speech. Hfs Excellency arose and addressed the few who remained, and took oc elli on to remark that "Those who 1 ft at tho call wbleb was made bad sworn to follow, and of course they must go.” Tbe eloreu foot will stick out. no matter how yon attempt to conceal it. Gov. Johnson thinks that the people have been honnd down so long by party tyranny that they will still submit to it; hot he is mistaken. That departure from the fond of Egypt” was the result of no obliga tion hnt the demonstration, which men will al ways make when left free to act for themselves. The people are moving in thfo matter for themselves. They have determined to aban don tbe corruption of old parties alliances, snd orranfte upon the principles of the purer days of the Republic, and upon the principle that “Americana shall rule America.” I will not attempt a review of the Governor's speech for T did not bear it, but one thing is sore, he left Rome without staying the flatter ing auction to bis tool” that bis presence or bfo speech had made much progress toward the demolition of tbo American Party. When will ha return to our midst again ? Should another appointment ha mads for him, wo would advise this “Dry Rot Party ” to select some other day than that upon which tho Americans have call ed their aieeting. Before closing let me say to tbe members of our order that we bare nothing to fear. Tha signs of tbe'timaa are »lth as and urging na “to press forward toward tbe mark for the prise of the high calling” of tbo establishment of oar principles.

A very huge number of the American Party of Floyd County assembled at tbe conrt house in Rome to-day to consider the Platforms of the Party as pat forth at their National and State Councils which recently convened at Philadelphia and Mabon. Col. W. S. Cothran was called to the Chair, and J. W. Alexander requested to set as Secre tary- Upon assuming his position Cal. Cothran ad dressed a few remarks to those assembled, ex planatory of the object for which the meeting bad been called. Tbe National and State Platforms of the Ameniean-Party were then read to the meeting when the following Ttesolntion was unanimous ly adopted. ; . 1 Reeelced, That the American party of Floyd County adopt and approve the Platforms recent ly put forth by the National Council at Phils- delphisand by the State Council at Macon, and that we recognise the same as the basis of oar party organisation. . CoL Fouohc, J. R. Alexander, Esq. and Dost. Miller were respectively called npon to address the meeting, each of whom responded in spee ches of nearly an hour's length, in support of the Principles of tbe American Party. These speeches wore characterised by a frank, open and candid appeal to the sound sense and un biased judgments of all who were present—and were frequently interrupted by long, lond and enthusfostio bursts of applause. Daring the progress o» the meeting the al ready crowded Conrt Room became more dense ly filled, and that all might have an opportu nity to hear onr Principles the Platforms were again read and the adopting Resolution roadop- ted withont a dissenting voico. The meeting then adjourned. W. S. COTHRAN, T. VT. ALEXANDER, Pros’L See'tiy. Rome, Jnly 3rd. Cedar Town, Ga.. 26th Jnnc, 1855. Pursuant to previona notioo a large and high ly respectable portion of tbe citizens of Polk county- withont distinction of party, assembled this day at the Conrt-Hoose. The meeting was organized by calling Judge Angnstns N. Ver- dery to the ohair, and appointing James D. Waddell secretary. Tbe Chairman having explained the objeot of tbe meeting to he to consider tbe propriety ef responding to the Platform of Principles re cently adopted by tbe meeting held at Temper ance Hall in the city of Colnmbns. On motion a Committee, consisting of William F. Jones, Esq., Hon John A. Jones. Dr. Stephen A. Bor ders. Thomas n. Sparks. Esq., and Robert C. Gibson Esq., were appointed to report a course of action expressive of the sense of the meeting. After a short absence the Committee returned and submitted the following REPORT: Whereas, In view of the settled and almost universal abolition sentiment pervading the Anti Slovery States of the Union, and the fa natical spirit that animates and controls it in Its reckless and alarming career, thepatriotlo peo ple of Muscogee 1 , without distinction of party, met at Temperance Hall in th^rity of Colum bus on tho 26th ultimo, to devJ^Bneans of un iting the whole South in intd|rat and availa ble defense ofberchcrishftdKstltutions; and, whereas at that meeting, K earnest, cordial maintaining tho rights of tbo people and pre* serving the integrity of tbo Constitution—from which immortal instrument we derivo tho prin ciples of our organization and the weapons of our warfare. Retolved, That while wo refuse to affiliate with thoM who disregard the constitutional rights ofthe Sontb, or those of any other seo- tion of tbo Union, North, East or West, we oheerfrtlly extend the hand of fellowship to ail, wherever found, who agree with ns in support ing tbe principles laid down in the Columbus Platform. On motion of Col. E.D. Chisolm the Pream ble and Resolutions were adopted unanimous ly- On motion a Committee of five, eonsisting of Col. B. D. Chisolm. Dr. H. Witoher, Wra. F. Darden. H. F. Wimberly and 8eaWn Jones, Jr. Eeqnires, wera appointed to select delegatee to represent the eonnty of Polk in the Guberna torial Convention to assemble in Mllfodgeville on tbe eighth day of August next. That Com mittee retired, and in a few moments returned and suggested the nnmes of the following gen- tfomsn ae Delegatee to said Convention, to wit: Hon. John A. Jones. Wm. F.

MAtrcFACTDRsa’ Bark of Macor—We ex tract tbe following from the Macon Messenger as an aot of justice to the Bank, and for the information of our readers, who may be too readily imposed npon by tbe cry of “ Wild Cat-” “By referenfo to our advertising columns it will be seen that this Bank has just declared a dividend of five per .oent., from its profits for 'the last six months. We take this occasion to remark, that tbe ebaraoterof this Bank does not appear to be properly underftood by some of onr exchanges at a distance, as we see oecaaionaly classed by them with the “ Wild Cat Backs, which organ ized under a charter granted by tbe State of Georgia, are owned by parties ont of the State, and have the largest circulation in Western States. The “Manufactures’ Bank of Macon has no connection whatever with the West- Its circulation is confined to onr own State—its stock with the execution of five thousand dol lars,, is owned and controlled in Georgia and among those who hold It arc a number of onr best business men. It U managed by onr own citizens, and we venture to add, with as mnob safety to tha public and as mnch liberality to tbe community in whieh it is located, as any Bank in the Stote. IwfortartRxrdrciatior.—The Montgome- ery Mail publishes a rumor that Hon. James F. Doudell, nominated by tbe administration pan ty for Congress, has written a letter declaring that he will so longer sustain the administra tion. The Mail believes the rumor to be true. and patriotic invitation ^was extended to tbe citizens of all other sections of tbe State—of every political complexion—to oo-operato with them, in building up a party whose leading Ideas eball be the protoetion ofthe South, and tbe preservation of tbe American Union ; and, whereas, we eitizens of Polk, eschewing all home political distinctions, and severely alive to tbe peril of tbe South and of tbe Union, left as they are withont organised, united opposi tion to the fierce and unprovoked assaults of Abolitionism and Freesoilism: Therefore be it Resolved, That onr best judgment approves tbe course suggested by our patriotie fellow- eltisens of Muscogee ; and we hereby, pledge Booth essential to her safety and to the per petuity of the Union, .r : Resolved, That we receive with pleanre and cordial approval tbe proposition to postpone the time of bolding tbe Milledgevillo Nomina ting convention from tho 4th proximo to tho 8th of August; and that we exhort all the friende of the movement, in every eonnty of the State, to send np Delegates to that Convention, whether they shall represent a constituency of one or a thousand. Resolved, That in thns dissolving all former party alliances, and adopting tho Columbus Platform, wo do so—not for tbo purpoao of form ing a sectional party—hut for tbo pnrposo of Curious Ttpographical Error tr tbe Bi ble.—Prof. Trench, in his latest work on tbe English language, points ont a curious typo, graphical error in tbe 20th verse of the 23d chapter of Matthew. The words “whieh strain at a gnat and swallow a camel,” the professor thinks contain a misprint, whieh having been passed over In the edition of 1611, has held its ground ever since. The translators intended to say, “which strain out a gnat and swallow a camel,” that being the correct rendering of tbe original, as appears in Tynsdaie’s and Cran- mor’s translations, both of which have “strain ed out" It was the eastern of the stricter Jews to strain their wine, vinegar, and other porta bles. through linen or ganze, lest unawares they ehnuld drink down some little andean in sect as a gnat, and thns transgress the Levitieal law. It was to this custom the Savior alinded, intending to say that the Scribes and Pharisees, white they strain out a gnat from their drink, wonld yet swallow a camel at a gulp. Gov. H.Y. Johrsoh addressed tbe citizens of Floyd eonnty for about two hoars, in which he declared he was not ambitions for office. By the recent eony.enti nn ofthe democracy in Mil ledgevilte, be was made the standard-bearer in the approaching canvass. Standing in that pn. sition, yon expect yonr "official note” to undergo the most riged scrutiny and whatever may be tbe result of that investigation yon will abide by the judgment of the people. Yon avowed yourself to be not only an Ame rican citizen, bqt every whit a Georgian. Yon did not plaee that Georgia feeling npon the fact of its being the land of yonr birth, but it sprang nobler aspirations. Patriotism is founded np on the best footings of our - nature; its princi ples lay embodied in tbe heart; it is cultivated around the hearth-stone and tho family altar. As we advanoe to riper years tbe affection ex pands, and extends first to family, to kindred, to nations and empires—as onr sphere of aotion enlarges so does this feeling endear the home of early childhood, with its ploasing recollec tions, follow ns throughout tbe journey of life into whatever climes onr lots may be cast wbiob no adversity can extinguish. This, then, is my title ship in calling myself a Georgian—it is my home—my own native home—here, too, sleep the peaceful remains of my mother. In thee I bad a friend, thon bast left me in my yontb to go faraway from the wandring scenes of tnmnltuons strife. As adversity presses np on me, my feelings wander backward to the scenes of ebildbood that now flitter aeross my mind. Thou nrtunsoon—yet the early recoiled tions and associations arc felt and observed. Here too my father lives, plowing its fields Withdrawals One of the shallowest devices of the enemy ie tbe oft-repeated assertion that here, there and every where, large numbers of the Ameri can party are withdrawing from the order.— Theso statement ate base lies, coined for tbe purpose ofdeoeiving tbe unwary. The Foreign papers thoughout the country have adopted a regular system of ltiro, to bolster up their tot- taring cause. We rogret this—not that we ex poet them to do the American party any serious iqjury, bnt because it roust tend to bring jour nalism in general into comtoptand weaken pop ular confidence in the newspaper press. So far from these stories being true, wo have the most gratifying assnranees from every quarter that sinee tbe tbe adoption of onr glorious national platform tbe people have been crowding to Sam’s standard in all sections. That there are now and then isolated eases of withdrawal we do not question; bnt fo* every man who with draws a hundred better one* go in. Let the Amerioan party and the people gen entity treat these silly stories with the eontempt they merit Southern Watchman. From the Tennessee Baptist of 8ept,24th 1853 Father Schaeht and the Free 8 heeh of tlaihvHle. On the first 8abbnth of this month this Catho lic Father commenced his assaults npon tbe free sohool system of tbit city, to be continued, we ■uppose, to the end. We have long expected to bear the first not* ofthe Catholie Anti-Amer ican war in this city sounded* What has been done in every other city we have expected to be done bare. The priesthood and Catholicism in Nashville are imhned with the same spirit here, as elsewhere—everywhere, at open war with the religion nf Christ, the avowed and implacable enemy of republicanism, of eival and religious liberty and the foster parent of ignorance, sup erstition and intolerance. * • • ■' Onr reporter famishes as with tbe following extract from Father Schacbf ■ charge to tbe Ca tholics of Nashville: “Tbe Sisters’ school commences in the morn ing, and I hope every Catholie will send his children. If Protestarts ask if they may send their children to tbe Sisters’ school, tell them NO! uafes* they wish their children to become Catholics. It is a Catholie school, and none bnt Catholics and -hose intended to become Catholics will be admitted. “The Free school ofthe eity trill also soon be In operation, and I hope no Catholie child will ever be ever be found in that school. We have a right to send there, yon will have to help pay the school tax, bnt It is better to loose your mo ney than your child’s soul. The honorably be gotten ana tbe ill begotten will all meet and min. gle at that school, and I hope no CATHOLIC will befonnd there l* There are three items to which we would call the attention of onr citizens and of American citizens everywhere: 1. That Catholic Schools are intended to make Catholics. That unless Protestants wish their children to become Catholics, they need not send them to Catholic schools. This is the truth. We have long since said the same thing, and have been pronounced un charitable and disposed to persecute Catholics for saying it. This Padre is at last frank and ont spoken. We commend his tmthfulness and ingennonsness in thns patting American Chris tians on their guard. • * • • * * • * 2. This Psdre appeals to the ignorance and blind superstition of tbe Catholics of Nsshville. He tells them, though they will be taxed to sup port onr free schools, they mnst not send their children to them: that onr free school will ERDAROERTHE SOULS OF THEIR CHILDRKR !-- That it will be better to lose their money—have their children gr >w np in total ignorance, than to destroy their soul* be sending to these free schools. We ask this Padre what is con nected with these schools so dangerous to the sonfo of Catholics? Is infidelity tanghtin them? No. Is any creed studied, read or reci ted in them? Why the Bible will doubtless be rand— only read withont note or comment This fo all, and this is snfficient to array the whole Ca tholie Pristhood in arms! * * * 3. The priesthood are unwilling for the chil dren of Catholics to asssociate with American yontb—^with onr little Republicans—Young A- merica—for fear they will imperceptibly imbibe American sentiments! Bnt he knew it wonld not do to say it in so many words, and therefore approaches his neople on tne “blind side”—he appeals to the prejudices. The Csthotics wonld degrade their children by allowing tbem to associate with the children of onr citizens! What, degrade the children of Catholics ?

Tbe Catholic colony of Maryland, organised under the auspices of Lord Baltimore, was the first “ to establish the principle of free toleration in religious worship” on this continent What ;ron say of Roger Williams is also equally true. Ele was the first champion of the principle. He proclaimed the principle as early as 1631— perhaps earlier; and for his own religions opinions waa driven from Massachusetts in 1665 or 1666.
