whieh is, and justly deserves to be, the boast
of eve/y American citizen, of voting according
to toe dictates of bis own conscience. Let it
l>e remembered that all these men were selected

were well acquainted, and against whom no*

citizens in toe ftillexerciseof their rights and

These thoughts hare been Mggeeted by toe
foUosring foo<e in regard to tbe treatment of
Got. Johnson end his agents toward Rer. C.
W. Howard of Caas co. Mr. Howard, aa oar
madere nrenwara, is largely engaged in menu-
&ctaring lime end desired to be pieced on the
same footing aa Mark A. Cooper la regard to
his freights on toe State Bond. The Governor,
after a long neglect in answer to Mr. Howard’*
Letter stated that he would consider toe matter
after the elootlon; bat gave no intimation that
he would make toe desired -change. After this
Mr. H. met the Governor in a pubiio discussion
at Kingston in which he alluded to his own
basinet in the most delicate meaner, and treat
ed toe Goremar with all toe deference and re
spect 4ne hie position. It is said that the con-
dnet of toe Governor on this occasion was quite
different—that he was harsh and even abusive-
But with him 1t did not all end In talk.* Sinoe
the day of this disoossion not a single oar has
been suffered to stop at Mr. Howard’s Kilns.
The day after the election the switch for turn
ing can to these works, was taken up under
promise that it should be replaced.
This promise, it will be noticed,„ was made
while the result of the election was yet un
known. A few days sinoe Mr. Howard was
informed by toe supervisor that this switch
was to be destroyed ead of coarse his business
entirely stopped. This vindictiveness is an out
rage not only to Mr. H. hat also to a number of
poor men who are by this means thrown out of
employment. Comment apea such conduct as
this is unnecessary. We only wish to lay toe
facts before the people that they, may know the
course panned by their Chief Executive.
Editobs or Rohe Courier—Gentle lex—
Numbers use now against us. We have met a
temporary defeat. It wttl not require many
such defeats to make a victory. If toe child
of some right months has held at bay, a veto-
sad paaopled warrior—if he has made him
tremble in bis armor—if this child has been
artnek down only by adastsrdtyside thrust,what
may we expect of him, when yean have given
him the thousand sinews of manhood. This
unexampled contest, has been almost a repeti
tion of the stery of Hercules in his cradle. But
the serpents yet live. They mast not he stran
gled but their fongs must be extracted.
Perhaps it was toesnsh to expect victory
at toe first onset Tot our cause is so purely
American, oar anxieties so Southern—the evils
we^deplored so numerous and so potent, the
remedy proposed so simple and efficacious, that
it seemed not over sangoineness to anticipate
an immediate triumph. It is useless to specu
late oa the cause of defeat, unless it be to make
os eraser hereafter.- Coleridge says that our
experience is like a light in the stern of aship,
shining over her wake. Let us make a better
use of oar experience. Let it shine ahead of.
os and instruct as for the future. The chief
eanie of onr defeat, has been the want of in
formation among tbe people as to the principles
and designs of the American Party. These
have been outrageously misrepresented. This
information must be diffused by the distribution
of traets for the times—by inceasing the cir
culation of newspapers like your own, that are
truly American in their tone. The people must
be informed. Let toe party in each county,
look to it that the county is supplied with the
means of information. Let the people see that
onr appeal is to their reason and their Patriot
ism. The name Democracy, “clarum et vene-
rabile rumen,” has been used to mislead them.
Let them feel, that we look to the Democracy
not in its party.sense, but in its old and^noble
signification, the people, as the source of pow
er, toe Divinity of the Constitution. It may
take time and patience to remove this mist from
before toefr eyes—but when the sun of truth
shines, the mist will sooner or later disappear.
We have needed information through the
press—we perhaps have needed it more through
toe means of our public speakers—where have
they been?—where have been toe Americans in
Mr. Stepens’s district? He has dealt with the
people in that distret, as if they were school
boys who bad been in misehif and needed
whipping—aad right hearttty has he enacted
the Pedagogue. Scarcely one has whimpered
noder toe castigation. It would bo improper to
lament this general indifference, without poin
ting to a noble exception. The very marked
ability, aid I may say tbe heroic devotion to
American principles exhibited by Dr. Miller in
this canvass, have given him a lasting claim to
oar grotitade. May toe .opportunity to show it
In a form more durable than words soon arrive.
Next year, wo shall pass through toe Presiden
tiri canvass. Let us be ready for it. Before
aad during that period, let the pubiio mind be
well informed through the press and by pnblic
discussion in'fee "sober second thought’' of
onr well meaning people, we shall find the ele-
meat of onr success. Our country is in peril.
It may be saved. Let no temporary defeat in
spire doubts of ultimate success.
Our doubts are traitors,
And make'us loose fee good we oft might win,

Committee of Fifty Members of tbe American
Party of Chatham county, who shall have pow
er to appoint all neoeeeary Subcommittees, fer
the purpose of ensuring efficient organisation
of the Party, in anticipation of the coming
elections.
The resolution was carried by acclamation;
whereupon Mr. Dawson, being called for, pro
ceeded to address the meeting. He was fre
quently interrupted by ohcersand laughter,
provoked by bis telling allusions and illustra
tion#. He concluded by presenting too follow
ing resolutions, which were unanimously adopt
ed.
Resolved, That though defeated in fee elec
tion that took place on Monday last, we are
neither conquered or subdued, and that we re
tain unimpaired eonfidenco in fee principles we
have asserted.
Rteolved, That we entertain no doubt but
feat our candidates were sustained by a major
ity of toe legal voU>rs|of the county of Chatham,
and feat in this foot we find new evidence of
an existing necessity for the firm establish
ment of the principles of our party, and an en
ergetic renewal of onr exertions in fee approach
ing contest in one City.
iteealved, That In old'Chatham we assert as
a distinct fundamental principle of the Ameri
can Party, "uncompromising hostility to a cor
rupt ballot box."
One general cry now burst from all parts of
toe Hall for Bartow, who came forward and was
received with three rounds of deafening app
lause. Wo shall attempt no synopsis of his
speech. It is is sufficient to say, it was one of
fee most dignified and eloquent addresses we
have ever heard. He passed in review the
contest jost elosed, mapped ont the future poll- i

Now, onr fathers, when tbe foreign emigre,
tion was only 5,000 vested in a native or na

until of late years, have complained of it.
The annual immigration is now 500,000, and
what was necoseary in 1787 thns becomes in
1855 a hundred times as necessary—that is, in
the ratio of 5,000 to 500,000. ;

We understand that every man, from the car
greaser np, that voted against Johnson, or is
suspectedof voting against Johnson, has been
removed since tho oleotion, from fee State
Road. We understand tho plan is to ask oaeh
man directly, and ir he answers that he voted
in opposition, he is discharged at once. The
next stop will bo to ask shippers on the Road,
if they voted against Jonson; if they answer in
the affirmative, the nso of the Road will be re
fused them. The spoil system must and will’
come to this if allowed to go on. This is the
true tendency of modern democracy, and this
worse than organized despotism is in substanoo,
avowed by every advocate of the spoils system.

ful Escape prom Death.—Mens. G o lard, Col.
Latham and Messrs, lloal, Crippen and Bclman
ascended in a balloon at Cincinnati on Monday.
Itappoars they encountered a violent thunder
storm in tho clouds, which drove the hullo . n oa>
it is stated, at tbe rate of seventy miles an hour,
and that they attained an altitude of 17,450.
Belman thns describes their descent after
and during tho storm:
P, — --g. along.
ns tbo valve rope, and monnting fee side of the
car, ho ordered us to hold fast In another
moment wo landed in a corn field, and by fee
force of tbe wind we were dragged and bnmped
along tbe ground a distance of half# mile’;
now through a fence; then striking a stump or
-a ttee> or writhing through toe corn stalks at ft
fearful velocity; onr heads rapped each otberi
and not unfreqaontly we-saw :-taw all around.
Up dnd down we eng when tho car struck a
tree, and Mons. Godar 1 was hurled to tbfc
ground, a distance df 30 feet; t' o next moment
era were crashed against a tail stamp of a tree-,
'wfisnUdL Sffilb KlfiMBrtnit’Vcrc thrown
trith great violence from toe basket, the for
mer on the back of bis neck and shoulders, and
the latter on 1A# breast. Mr. Crippen and my
self were left alone in the car. Mr. Crippen
obeying instructions to keep in tbe bottom of
the car, and 1 holding with all'my- might to thi
valve rope. Up we mounted. Fortunately w«
-dashed into fee limbs of «'tall-'dead tree, and !
in an instant, tree, balloon, cafr and mrOhauti
were flat oa tbe ground. Mons. G. ha'd bis lip
badly cut, and the flesh lacerated on one of big
limbs; Col. Latham an-ankle sprained bead;
shoulders and body, • generally bruised; Mr.
Horn! bis breast-crushed in, three, ribs brokin
and otberwisb cadly bruised; Mr. Crippin bis
bead and neck, skewed,’ aod generally scratch
ed and broisud. I was bruised somewhat, but
not materially scored."
‘We have no faith," says tho Charleston;
Mercury, "in the ability of the Democratic par
ty. It has been overwbelemed at the North by
Abolition-and it is. powerless either for its own
mutual ends or tbe protection of the South.”
Annimal Plant.—Tbe Baton Rouge Comet
says that Mr. P. F. Stanton, of Livingston Par
rish, in that State, has a very singular plant in
bis garden, which seems to the v fee connecting
link between the annimal Afad vegetable worlds
Tbe plant is about fekefe feet high, and its sta-
j men reaches fee ground. At the end it is ar
med with a small sharp substance wife which
it pierees insects, and lifts them into the calyx;
where they are brushed by thd plant and ap
propriated to its support.
Facts to be Noted.—From tbe time, says
the Mobile Advertiser, feat Milliard Filmore
became President of tbe United -States to fed
day that his administration closed, he never ap
pointed a single abolitionist, freesotter, or seces
sionist to office. The consequence was, agita
tion ceased, End at the end of fee year 1852 we
heard no talk t>Tdisunion or interference wife
the lights of fee SoutheVn States. Franklin
Pierce came into office on fee 4th of March;
1853, aud commenced dealing out bis patronage
to abolitonists and secessionists, and the coun
try immediately became agitated from centre
to circumference.
