Cooper, and Dora- ocrats are sustaining him, that those who have moat to ship, and do ship moat on the Western A Atlantic Railroad, should bo charged /ess than those who do not Bhip so much. Is this right? If so, why not regulate tho tariff of i freights according, to the quantity one baa to j ship, and not take into .consideration the amount it costs the r ood to ship each article? Do this, and publish it to the world that the rich man who ships 100 bales of cotton, 1000 i bushels of whoat or corn, or 1000 barrels of floor, shall be. charged less per bushol, bale or barrel, than the poor mao who has but 10 Hay do for those that like them— For those devoid of taste, For those who barter diamonds off, For diamonds mads of paste, And other blockheads.

From the Chronicle and Scntiuol. ' Mr, Cowart and Gov. Johnson Again. "Mn. Editor: My attention has been directed to a communication in tho Southern Recorder of tho 21st ol August, in which Gov. Johnson is reported to have mid, in a speech in Loe oounty—“Wadley and Cobb thought it to tho interest of tho State to appoint one, (Commis sioner) and continue him in office at a salary of $1200; that this commission bad a secretary at $600, aud employed counsel to such an oxpen. dituro of money, that it amounted to souto twonty-fivo hundred dollars; that be thought some of this money might ho saved the State, and employed an Attorney, Commissioner, Secretary and all in one individual, at a salary of $2,000, and a saving to the Strto of at least $500.” Hero is a deliberate statement made to a pub lic audience, by the Governor of tho “Empiro State of the South,” and Gov. Johnson knew, or he did not know, whether this statement was true or false. If he knew the facts as tLoy ex ist, be has deliberately aud kuowiugly misrep resented them. It he did not know that his statement was not true, he ought to have made it. He says it was thought tube “the interest bales, or 5 barrels of flour to ship.

Tell the people, that the large speculator who buys his two or three thousand bales of cotton at Chattanooga or in Alabama, shall pay only fifty cents, and the poor man who has but ten continue him in office at a salary of $1200.” 77.it ie not true, it was not thought advisable to appoint a Commissioner and continue him in office. Col. Farris was appointed for no speci fied time. Nor was he appointed at a salary of $1200. He was appointed to examine into and bales shall pay one dollar per hale.

Johnson qf rather a disreputable character. It -is alleged that whilst in Cherokee, stomping it with Mr. Jen kins in 1863, he professed himself satisfied with Mr. Jenkins* connection with the Algernie law, and in their discussions that subject was therefore ignored. It is further allegdd, how ever, that after the election, CoL Dodd, the editor of the Atoukeraar, declared, that several thousand copies of the aforesaid law were prin ted under the order of Judge Johnson for pri vate circulation in that region, and when tile bill was presented, the Governor refused to pay it. In proofof the truth of this last allega tion, a certificate, signed by three very honora ble and influential citizens of Rome, has ap peared in most of the American prints of the State, including onr own. Under the caption of “a lie nailed to the counter,” a recent number of tbe Cassville Standard states that it has received a letter from Judge Summers, of Kingston, in which that gentleman admits that Judge Johnson ae- qnimeed in the"proposition to print, “but heard no expression from him, which, by -.any possi ble construction, oould- make‘him responsible for the printing.” Now, we have no doubt but Judge Summers has stated correctly such facts as came under bis own personal observation.— Bnt we must be pardoned for reljiog upon the statement of the editor of the Southerner, who did the work rather than the impressions of Ju^ge.Summers. Col Dodd, last winter, open- !y asserted in onr presence, that he did do the printing for Gov. Johnson, had sent in the bill for the stone, and expressed in warm terms fids ’ dissatisfaction with Gov. Johnson that it had never been paid. He stated fortber- more that If the contest was again between th ATLANTA [A cfiiftE Works.

Cooper, os it is for any one else? Why, then, because he is a. rich man, and has much to ship, should he be charged less than the poor man who has but little? Mtg-i Cooper ships on the Road because it is At* interest to do so—so does the poor man. Moj. Cooper’s Mill and Iron Works sire a benefit to the counfry—so is every mill, blacksmith’s shop and farm in the country. Democrats have been for many years ready to dissolve the Union rather, tbap submit to a pro tective tariff—they are now advocating a die- criminating ta.iff on the Western A Atlantic Railroad to protect the rich against the poor. Will the people sustain this? 2d. Mqjor Cooper says: !* What I have ask ed was equally demanded by me, for all othere.” Have all othere” had their freights reduced ? They have not M*»j. Cooper’s have been re dueed. 3d. One would infer from reading his letten that he has beea compelled to pay higher freights than any other penon, on like articles, between tho same points. 1 Is this so? I say that it is not If I am wrong let the/act* be given. 4th. I assert that Major Cooper is now paying lese on many attioles, according to distance, than any one else at the neighboring depots. fitb. 1 asset* that u gentleman living in Cass county, went to Atlanta and tried to make a contract for shipping' a large quantity of lumber, bo that be could do it for less than tho usual fionlctnot do it He is not a Democrat 5. How did it happen that Mark A. Cooper pays leee than any one else on certain articles shipped on tbe Road? I will tell you, and do it with Major C coper's own statement—a state ment that he has made to many persons and can be proved by several respectable gentlemen. When James F. Cooper took charge of the road, he raised the freights and■ equalised them so that all pereone were placed on the tame foot ing. (Ask Mr. James F. Cooper if this is not true to tiie letter.) At thie, Mark A Cooper complained, Gov. Johnson heard of his com. plaints, and Maj. Cooper says, Gov. Johnson called on bimnt Dalton, and inquired into the matter- He made an explanation to the Gov ernor, and Johnson then promised him that him in 1852.. Col. Furiss’ employment in the service of tbe Road ceased, because the old claims against the Road had all been examined into and either allowed or rejected, and there wus no further use for him. Now, look at the difference. Col. Furiss was appointed when the whole Road, from Atlanta to Chattanooga, was out of order, and it required all of Wad- ley’s time and energy in putting the Road in order, equipping it, building depots, <£c., and there was really work for Faria« to do—Wad- ley having no time to attend to it. When Cowart was appointed the Road was in good order from one end to the other, and there was nothing for Ooicart to do; aud if there has been tbe Superintendent bad time to attend to it.— Again: CoL Furiss wus paid for the work lie actually done and performed, nothing more. Mr. Cowart gets two thousand a year, whether he does anything or not; and Gov. Johnson keeps him in office over the head oj the Sur- perintendant. But Gov. Johnson says, that the appointment of Mr. Cowart “Attorney, Commissioner and Secretary,” saves to the.State “at least $500.” I deny the truth of this statement. Bear in mind that Gov. Johnson says that the expense of the Commissioner, Secretary and Attorney, was some twenty-live hundred dollars per an num, during Gov. Cobb’s Administration, and that Mr. Cowart is now doing the work of the Commissioner, Secretary and Attorney, and thussaves to the State $500 a year. I amamaz ed at the recklessness of this statement. Let facta speak and Gov. Johnson blush, if it is possible for him to feel ashamed. First, then, Mr. Cowart bos received in one year, moro money than Col. Fariss received during tl.e whole time of Gov. Cobb’a Adminiatrution. In the next place, Cowart does sot do tbe buiness that wus done by Attorneys while Farris was in office. On the contrary, many more Attor neys are now employed in the service of the road than were engnged when.Cowart was ap pointed. Col. Akin was employed by tbe road, during Gov* Cobb’s Administration, to attend to the cases and against the road, in the Chero- koe Circuit, und he alone attended to ail tbe eas e s except two. Hois still attending to all the cases he was engaged in when Cowart was appointed, and besides him, there aro now in the employment of the road, in the Cherokee Circuit, Underwood, Smith, Milner and Brown.

But this doeg Mr> Cowart pay tbeni out of hii} sa j arj? was not done, and things went on so for some ... months, when he met Gov. Johnson at Gordon, on the Central Railroad.

And besides all these, there are other Attorneys employed by tho road, who live uut of tho Cherokee Circnit. Will the The American Party of Chatham. At a meeting of tho Atnorican Party of this city and county, tbe following resolutions were unanimously adopted: Whereas, tho sentiment of tho American Par ty ofCbatam County, us expressod in tbodeela- oration of their Dolegates at tbe State Council of Georgia, which convened at Macon in the month of June last, is opposed in tho introduc tion of the element of religions proscription in any shape, either expressly or by implication ns an article of their political creed—which sen- tiinout, it is now considered proper solemnly to re-itorntc, and publioly to declare—And where as, also, the Into National Council at Philadel phia has removed tho veil of secrecy, and abol ished the Old Ritual requiring oath or affirma tion from members, adopted as expedient in tho early inconcopliou ofthe order: be it there fore Reaolved, by the several Councils composing tho American Party of Chatham County in mass meeting assembled, 1, That tho American pnrty of Chatham Coun ty do not recognize as a doctrine of their politi cal faith, any opposition to individuals on ao t count of their religious creed, nor the impost tion of uny civil disability, nor tho deprivation or any civil rights, on that account or for that reason 2, That henceforth, the only obligation that will be required from any one desirous of con necting himself with this Party, will be his en dorsementof tbe principles of the Party as set forth in their Platforms. 3, That the American party of Chatham Conn ty be henceforth regarded as it is A party, and not a Secret Order. 4, That all the persons in tbe County of Chat ham, co-inciding with the American Party in opinion upon the political issues involved at this time, and approving their doctrines, shall be re garded as its members. 6, That the American party of Chatham Coun ty have no retrospective objects; that do at tempt will be made to affect tho rights and priv ilege of persons who arc now citizens ofthe Uni ted States, or of the Stato of Georgia; that the main and distinct objects ofthe Party are—1st, To have a proper and impartial administration of our City Ordinauce and Laws; 2d, The cul tivation of an intensely American sentiment and 3d, A proper modification of the Naturaliza tion Laws of our country—to the end that “AMERICANS SHALL RULE AMERICA. ■ Thns the American party has thrown off its swaddling clothes, and doffed the trappings of a vigorous manhood. Tbe same thing has been done in other portions of the State of the Union, and it this time there is, practically, no differ enco between the organizatoin of the American party and other political associations. , This step has been taken, in pursuance of tho action of the Philadelphia Macon, Councils.— The old ritual, with its obligations and cer* emonies, was abolished by the National Coun cil in Jnne last, and if it has been eeforeed in any part of the country since that time, it was the resnlt of a want of information. It is a pity thus to deprive the Democratic press and orators of their standing argument, but justice must be done, though the heavens should fall, and with them tho aforesaid, press and orators. We wouldadd by way of explanation, that tho American party of Chatham has not disbanded its councils, nor surrendered its charter. Tbe councils will bo continued as valuable auxilia ries, through which the business of committees will be transacted, and persons desirous of for mnlly connecting themselves with the party will be received. In other words, the organization will be preserved, though theritunl, obligations, Ac., have been dispensed with.—Savannah Re publican. former.

Always on ban^. wss a native traitor, it is very probable most natives are traitors. It may refresh tbe patriot ism of Stfcb traducers of their countrymen and advocates of aliens to' read the following d« ecriptiou of an American and a foreign soldiery upon .tbe same battle field: “Air American Soldier.—Most providen tially at that moment Taylor arrived with Da vis’s (Hon. Jefferson Davis) Mississippi rifle men and May’s dragoons. The former barely stopped an instant for the men to fill tbelr can teens, tbea hastened to tbe field. Boiling with rage, Davis called on tbe Indiana volunteers to form ’behind that will,’ pointing to his men, and advance against their enemies. Tbeir colonel, Bowles, the tears streaming down bis face, finding all his appeals fruitless, seized a musket, and joined tbe Misaiasppiaus as a pri vate. Time could not be lost; Ampndia was thoic Upon them ; Davis formed and advanced to have bis freights reduced. He even went so far as to threaten to take the stamp against Johnson. About this time, John II. Lumpkin, of Rome, was nominated for Cobgrecs in tbe 5tb District. He knew of Cooper’s opposition to Johnson, and wrote to tho Governor that he (Lnmpkin) would not accept the nomination for Congress unless Maj. Cooper was reconciled. —Johnson soon went to Kingston, had an in terview with Cooper, and reconciled him. In other words, Johnson reduced Cooper’s freight, and Cooper became “a supporter of the Demo cratic candidate.” These are the facts of the ease. Maj. Cooper omitted to state what pass ed between him and Johnson at Gordon. To put the whole matter in a few words, Coop er wanted his freights reduced, and Johnson promised to do it. But ho failed to comply with his promise. Some months passed, Coop er saw Johnson: wanted to know why he had ‘With steady‘tread against a body more than | notfulfilled his promise—Johnson offered argu five times his strength. A rain of balls poured upon tbe Mmlriippians, but no man pulled a trigger till snre of bis mark. Then those dead ly rifles blazed and stumred the Mexican ad- vauce. A ravine separated them from the enemy ; Davis gave, the Word, and, with a cheer down they rushed and tip the other side ; then forming boetility, with one awfnl, volley they •battered tbe Mexican bead, and drove them back to eorer.” ▲ BATTALION or lUlSH DESERTERS CAPTURED. “Notwithstanding tbe parley, one Mexican battery continued its fire upon onr troops. This was tho 18 and 24 poondsr buttery of tho bat- tellioo of San Patricio, composed of Irishmen, deserters from onr ranks, and commanded by an Irishman named Riley.” We would recommend tbe toadies to tell tbe Secretary of the War Department, (Cob Jef.

Cooper is reconciled and supports Johnson, and Lumpkin accepts the nomination for Congress. Now, why was this arrangement made? Was it not dune to get M^j. Cooper’s support? Does any unpreju diced man doubt that Gov. Johnson reduced Maj. Cooper’s freights to get his support? And thkt getting his rapport will cause tbo road to lose several thousand dollars a year? If it was wrong to reduce Cooper’s freights before Johnson was a candidate, what made it right to dd it afterwards, and when Cooper was oppo sing him ? Mr. Editor, there is no disguising tho facts cf this transaction. They may be turned and twisted, plastered over and smotbored, but the truth still stands but in bold relief. It eannot be denied, that Gov. Johnson forced James F. Cooper, to reduce Mark A. Cooper’s freights in order to get bis support; and that Mark A. Cooper supports Johnson because bis freights ore reduced. That Johnson has made an ar rangement for Mark A. Cooper to get bis sup port, at a loss to the State' of several thousand dollars a year, and Mark A. Cooper supports Gov.^ Johnson because h4 (Cooper) saves what tbe State looses. Will the peddle sustain sufih a nakedbraniuidti&n as tbit ? Maj. Cooopor may feel-and believe that >be is contending for no thing but wb»t is right, and I am assured that lie did not seek the interview with Johnson that brought about tho fedheition of his freights. But bow Cooper or any one else, can fail to seo tbo motives that influenced Johnson to reduce tbe freights is incomprehensible to me. The Constitutionalist bos published Maj. Cooper's letter; will -if publish this article? KnrosTox. eluded, be has received $5,47, and how many days of the whole time has been employed in the service of the road?' I doubt whether be has averaged one a week. He is now riding on tbe road free of charge, and receiving over (ivo dollars a day to aid in Governor Johnson’s olecti' n. How many speeches has he made for tbe road? How many cases has he brought for it? How many has he prepared for trial, for or against the road? If ho can show one case that he has brought fur tbe road, or one that he has prepared for trial, either for or against the road, he will surprise ine. How many old claims against the road has ho exam ined and allowed or rejected,? I shall look for his report on this subject with some interest. While he is traveling over tbe couutry working for Governor Johnson, other attorneys ara at work for the road, and doing the very servieo for which cowart is paid. But, Mr. Editor, there is a principle involved in this matter of far moro importance to the people of Georgia, than simply the amount of money expended. Gov. Johnson has put his hand into the Treasury of the State, and taken therefrom two thousand dollars a year, und given it to a partisan without any authority of law. No well informed person, who has any regard f»r truth, will deny this statement. Mr. Editor, if thero is any error in any thing I have stated, let it be shown, and I will take | pleasure in acknowledging it. But if any ono doubts the truth of what I have written, let him place James F. Cooper, Mr. Wadley, Mr. Yonge, Col. Akin and CoL Fariss, on the stand, und examine them fully touching the whole matter; let him interrogate tho Judges of the Coweta, Blue Ridge and Chero kee Circuits, as to the eases Cowart has atten ded to for the Road : and I am of opinion that the publication of their testimony before the election, would make the supporters of John son feel, bad. I have just read a letter from one who knows, stating tho fncts of CoL Fariss’ appointment, and how much ho was puid, and this letter can be forthcoming, and tho writer with it, if necessary. Has the Constitutionalist accepted my prop osition ? Will tt or any other respectahlo jour nal? Come, C<>b Gardner, whht say you?

Unable to combat successfully tho American Platform as adopted and published to the world, onr opponents have resorted to a system of per version and falsehood not before equalled in the annals of party warfare. It seems that they are determined to carry the election; if itcosts them all the character they ever possessed for truth and veracity. They commenced the campaign by a fierce onset against tho American Party, charging tliem with a system of lying not before known in this or any otherage, and at the same time admitting that they did not know about the organization. But as they supposed the party to be guilty pf lying, they seem to have deter mined not to be out done even In that, and throwing off all moral restraint, have tried to what lengths they oould go. Not content to let tbe members of tbe Ameri can Pariy define their own position, they offi ciously assign a position for them and attack it with all their powers. They charge the Amer ican party with proscribing men on aecount.of their religiou, although the State platform proves tho reverse to be true. They saw that we are making politics of religion, thereby attempting to unite Church and State; but our’Platform shows that this is one of tbo very things we are trying to prevent. They charge that we hold the Union as paramount to every other consid eration ; but our platform shows that we only held it as “the paramount^>o/t/icaf good”—that is to say, the principle means by which our lib- crticsaml freedom of thought and action are se cured to us; and any reasonable man is bound to admit that it is true. They charge that we urc bound by our platform to submitalloarrights to the decision of the Supreme Court; whereas our truo position is, that nil doubtful or disputed points arising under the Constitution, may only bo legally expounded by the Supreme Court, We have no other tribunal to decide, legally, disputed or doubtful points. We have natural rights that are above the compass of law, apd over these the Supreme Court has nojurisdie-i tion ; such, fur instance, as the right to declare our independence of this government and throwr it off whenever it is made manifest thatvre can not get justice under it. They charge that tho organization of the American Party is a “Whig trick,” when the truth is, the charge itselfis a “trick” of demoggues to deceive the people and stir up old party feelings between those that ought to be united for their common defence.— They clinrge that tho Atnorican Pnrty are in af filiation with the frcesoliers of tho Nortbj when the fact is incontrovertible that not a siglo free- soilcr would remain in the convention after the Platform was adopted ; and this charge is made, too, in tho face of the fact thnt most of the free- soil resolutions of tho North come from members of thoir own pnrty. They charge that the Amer- i ican Party are responsible for tho Louisville ri ots, when all tho sworn testimony produced shows that the foreigners began the riots them selves; and now they even refuse to publish tho testimony. They charge that members of the American Party are sworn to vote for none hut third degree members of the order, when it is known that we nominate and intend to vote for men who are not members of the order at all. They mako thoso nnd many more charges against us, not necessary here to enumerate, when conolusivo proof to tho contrary is at hand and accessible to them : thns showing a deter mination to mako false impressions upon the public mind.—American Union. , Rome aJvajra Rome. The Popish organs of Georgia—from the Chattaboochco to the Etowah—in their defence of bogus democracy, find themselves obliged to defend the Pope, also; and thus it is that “pol - itics makes them acquainted with strange bed fellows.” They deny the temporal power of tbo Pope, but facts—ancient nnd modern—contra dict this assumption; hence we see no attempt at a defenco of tbe recent action of bis Holi ness in pronouncing nulljtnd void certain laws passed and put in force by the Governments of Spain and Sardinia. Thie took place on the 26th July last, at whiob time tho Pope delivered two Allocutions —one for Spain, the othor for Switzerland and Sandinia. In the latter kingdom, chareh pro perty had accumulated to such an extent that nearly half the property in the country was ex- omptedfrom taxation, and a law passed by the proper authorities to remedy the evil—by equa lizing the taxation. Tbe Pope, howevor, de nounces and condemns “all the decrees of that government hurtful to the rights and authority of tbe Holy See, and declares all these acts nail and invalid.” And then “strikes with the Greater Excommunication, tbo King, hi* Min isters, a majority of the Senators and Depu ties, and an immenso number of the inhabi tants 1” What is all this but a tyranical exer cise of temporal power? And yet certain edi tors on this side of the ocean affirm that his Holiness had no such authority over his spirital children! The Government of Spain likewise passed a law in conflict with the Pope’s opinions, and lie annuls this lam, by the exercise of his supreme authority. Hear him: “The patrimony of the Church (in Spain) has been usurped in spite of all divine and hu- mabjaws, we, therefore, in virtue of our Apos- tohVhuTiionixv, censure, abrogate and declare without force, null, and and of no effect, for the past and the future, the said laws and decrees.” The Pope has no temporal power, eh ? Then what sort of power is it, that annuals the laws of a land ? And who but the Pope exercises this power over the constituted authorities of any country? Let Cur Catholie-protestant editors give ns a satisfactory answer; or else acknowl edge that facts such as are hero cited, “nail to the counter” their foolish attempt to falsify the truth. A single question is pertinent just here, and it is an important one to the people of every denomination—and of no denomination. If the Pope can thus annual the laws of one country not yet subject to him, what would prevent him from making the attempt in another? We an swer, tbe success of tbe American party (and none other) would preclude the effort here; whilst the permament triumph of the Anti-A- mericans would insure the attempt whenever acts were passed “repugnant to the laws oF the Pope?—Columbus Enquirer. Another instance where the State Road BAS BEEN USED TO ADVANCE TIIE INTEREST Of* Gov. Johnson and bis partt.—Passengers were carried to tbe anti-American meeting at Cara tersvillo on the 30th ult., at half the regular rates! A few weeks ago, tbe American party held a mass meeting at the same place, and were required4o pay twoihirds of the regular fare / To go-snd return from this point, the friends and supporters of Gov. Johnson, paid thirty cente less for a ticket, than was required of the American party, to go to^^the same place* and back. This unlawful nse of the State Road,' by those in authority, astonishes nobody here; when it is well known that its managers tern* pie or hesitate At no act, which they think will aid in re-electing Gov* Johnson, or ip putting down those who' oppose him. Tho friends‘of Judge. Andrews are mado to feel the weight and influence of the State Road, from one end ofthe line to tbe other, and no nan will deny it who has any regard for troth. We challenge any Democratic paper in Geor gia. to deny the truth of wbat. wo have stated above.' We get the figures from the hand-bills published by the Road, fur the two meetings; and will any man deny that tho American party was required to pay more than the Dom o-» cratie party, to go to the same place? Isthert an individual in Georgia, except Gov. Johnson and those holding offices under .him, that will say its right to require one portion of onr citi zens to pay more than another; when going to the same place? Is it right, that the great power and influence of the: State Road, wbieh is the property of every citizen in tbe State, should be thrown into either political scale? Is it not the duty of its managers to act impar tially towards all onr citizens? Most undoubt edly it is. But do they doit? Have we not shown a cole in point, above?—Atlanta Discip* line. The Penitentiary Folks. Now that the elections are over in this State, and tbe excitement consequent-thereon, all par ties will be able to contemplatefaets and figures, calmly, dispassionately, and imprrtEally. We ask all Such, thon to unite with us in consider ing who are the penitentiary folks of this oonn- try ? The answer is, that in the general they are foreigners. A table published in the Com- penbium of the late Census, giving the number of convicts in tbe prisons and penitentiaries, shows that the: average in aU the States is six to one Foreigners over natives! In Maine, there are fivoForigncrs to one Na tive. In Kentuckey, six to one. In Mississippi, ten to one. In New York, throe to one; In Tennessee, fifteen to two. In Vermont,.eight to ono. In South Carolina, twenty eight to one. In Alabama, fifty to one. In Georgia, six to one. In Indiana, four to one. Out of the Capitol offenses, >n tbe same Sates, where hanging nas tho penalty, three to one were foreigners. Theso facts speak for them selves, and need no comment from us. They are well calculated to open the eyes of our citi zens to tho importance of arresting this tide of Foreign emigration, so rapidly flooding our country, and crowdiag our jails, with the worst population on earth.—Brownlow’s Whig. Petty Proscrirtion.—James S. Bryant, a worthy, sober and respectable citizen of this place, who has been employed by the State Road for nerly two years pastas Blacksmith and Car-Inspector at this place, at a Salary of $80 per month for himself and boy was dis missed from that post a few days si.nee. Mr* Bryant has been employed for seven years upoa Railroads, (principal part of the time on this Road) and has invariably given entire satifac- tion. It will no doubt be asserted that Mr. Bryant was dismissed for some uniaitbfalness in tho discharge of his dnties, but in acorn mu ni ty that knows him as well as he is known here, the people will be reluctant to believe such charges, and will rather find a reason for his removal in tbe feet that he has made- na concealment of his purpose nojLto support Gov. Johnson. Wesaw the man sent hera to take Mr. Bry ant’s place on Monday. From bisphysiognomg we thought him a foreigner, bnt confess we viewed him under rather unfavorable-circina- stances, and migh the mistaken. Attbe partic ular time wo refer to, when onr observation'waS taken, say about meridian on inonday, the said individual,-we thought; had overloaded him self with wet groceries, and had lain down to releve himself by soaking and snoozing. :} Wo refer to this matter merely to show the Superior qualification of Mr. Bryant’s success or, to serve- the present administration accep tably—Dalton Times. Onf. op their Tricks.—Our readers have Is” published no donbt noticed tho “withdrawals” pa in tho democratic -papers- so often, and with such a perfect vim- We know of a certain official gentleman who tells the editors to>“pub lish them, publish them 1 lie or ao lie, it hnjt the same good effect for our cause. Have one Kn-rw Nothing lodge entirely abandoned over yonder, and another nearly desortedover somer where else; and have them in every week. By this means we will scare those who haye-not gone in and keep them out.” This is' a very smart trick, hut unless it succeods better else where than it basi here, itwili hardly bo -worth two thousand dollars a year.—At. Discipline. ‘'Droop not yet,” as the dandy said to his “aU round” collar. A Ready-witted Madman.—A gentleman hy tho natno of Mon, residing near a private mad house, met one of its poor inmates, who hud broken from his koepor. The maniac suddenly stopped, and resting upon alarge stick, exclaim- od; “Who aro you, sir?” Tho ^ontlemnn was rather alarmed, but thinking to divert his at tention by a pun, he replied, “I am a dhuble man; I am a Man by name and a man by na- turo.” “Are you so?” rejoined tbo other; “why I am a man beside mysolf—so wc two will fight you two.” Mormon Emigration to the Eultttd States. We have bufore us an articio taken from the Latter Day Saint’s Millunial Stur, published in Liverpool, upon tho emigration of Mormons from tho Old World to the United States. The Star gives tho names of tbe vessel*, in which they sailed, the date of sailing, and Tho number of passengers. According to this statement, the number of Mormon emigrants who sailed from tho single port of Liverpool to the United States, from tho 20th November 1855 to the 2fith April 1855, a period of only fivo months, was 2,626. At this rate, the annual immigration of theso lecherous vagabonds may bo sot down at 0,000 ! Yet the Sag Nichts tell us it is wrong to in terfere with tbo naturalization laws! The Amer ican party desires to exclude only the worthless —tho paupers, criminals, polygamist and vi cious—-but tho opptttttlon’ories,nahds off! This is a free oonntry, analet every ono eome who desires to.—Savannuh Republican. Hr. Stephens Three Years ago. Mr. Trippe, the American candidate for Con gress in the third district addressed the people of Macon last week. In alluding to tho position of certain leading politicians of tbo State, as we learn from the Messenger, tho speaker took oc casion to comment npon the remarkable evolu tions which have : been recently performed by Messrs. Toombs and Stephens—those great lights that have long shown in the in the politi cal firmament, but now rapidly decline towards tbe horizon. Heread from Mr. Toombs’,great speeeh, delivered in 1852, at the Congressional banquet which was gotten up in Washington City to check the foreign influence which, stim ulated by the.magic eloquence of Louis Kos suth, bad already stiffled the utterance of pure Americap senticincnts in the high places of government and threatened to subduo tho .voice of patriotism in the country. He showed clearly from tho noble sentiment which Mr. Toombs then avowed, that he had now succumbed to tho power which he had so lately denounced. And the voice of patriot ism which he once poured forth in such eloquent strains in. behalf of the Institutions of his coun try, was now hushed before the storm offoreign excitement which he bad so largely contributed to raise. Mr. Trippe also read from a speech, delivered byjho “paler light,” to show, that howover -ranch Mr. Stephens may now abhor the rising ^emotions of patriotism in his countrymen, there was once a timo, when he too was warned by its inspirations. In an address delivered by him about the samo time beforo tho Maryland Instil tute, in commemoration of tho birthday of Wash ington, it appears that ho took tho ground dis tinctly, that all Europeans are not suited to Constitutional free Government, and in that con nection uttered tbe great Amorican sentiment: “Men to be capable of maintaining law and or der, must be SCHOOLED in the elementary principles.” lie said: “And so it will be, I fear, with all the nations of Europe, until there bo a change in tho minds, habits, education, and modes of thinking on the part of their people. Libeatjy in thoir estima tion,-is licentiousness, lawlessness. They do not understand or appreciate its first principles. Men to bo capable of maintaining law and or- di-r in a free Government must be SCHOOLED iu the elementary principles.” Mr. Stephens here, in a nutshell, embraced the leadtag doctrine of the American Party as we understand it. And if he is not now recre ant to the principle*, which he was among the first to propagate, wo are not able lo judge.— Savannah Republican. Remarkable case of Self-control.—Tho Brdnswick Telegraph tolls a story which, it says,, is liberally trae, of a young window down on too Kennebec, who said , to an a6qtuuntance who #os' condoling with her upon the recent death of her spouse, “I hope you’ll excuse my not crying: but the feet is, crying always makee my nose bleed’ ,, ■ Pr, Noble Reply.—An officer of distintion and tried valor refused te acopt a challenge sent him by a young adventurer; but returned the fol lowing answer: “I fear not your sword, but tho anger of my God, I dare yentnre my life in a good cause, but eannot hazard my soul in a bad one. I will charge up to the cannons month for the good of my Country, but I want courage -to storm HolL ._. Puno atorv.—“With rogard to purgatory.’* says an old Popish writer, I will not say agreat deal: bnt this much I think—the Protestaata may‘go farther, and fere worqc.” “Why is thirty-nine the number of-lashes the Christian selects as tbe miximun for Christian flogging /” asked the Brahmin Poo-Poo of Old Roger. Old Roger thought a moment The question was sarcastic one find conveyed it se vere reproof. “I suppose,” said he, “it is to keep within the limit of human forty-tade.”— The Brahmin stroked his long beard, and the long tassel of bis cap vibrated like a pondu* lum. a 0 * Well-Dipped Toast.—The following toast was given at Biddeford recently:—“The Clergy. All honor to the clergyman who followed his Master instead of his Paymaster.” A Good Styptic.—Common gunpowder put-* verisedy laid on cotton, and thns applied to the blocding orifice, is'said to bo one of the best agents to check bleeding known to the world.
