form endorsing Pierce’s administration, but
carefully avoiding even a bint at tbe Kansas
Nebraska Bill, a subject upon whioh the people
were more intensely excited than upon any
othtr. The platform was adopted; fcsrt just at
foe moment of triumph they were defeated.
They had failed to make an explicit expreaeiew
of opinion upon the subject of slavery and had
hoped they oeald trammel up the consequences.

•tarnation and dismay intofoa hearts of the
Notional leaders, by oalling op the “mueh
vexed question” in foe following resolution
which simply endorsee foe prioeiples of the
Kansas Act:
Resolved, That avery new 8tet* ought to be
admitted into tbo Union, with eneh a consti
tution at a majority of the cltisens thereof shall

ng with the Constitution of the United

opted or rejected slavery ia not a matter of in-
quliy by the General Government. The adop-
tieu of eay measure whioh would defeat this ia
diraot encroachment upon fos popular aove-
_ ty of snob State. That under tnese views,
which we believe to be oorreot, foe bill snooting
Kansas and Nebraska Territories, laaviog the
question of slavery with foe people, was not
only constitutional, bne expedient and proper;
and that we do hereby endorse and approve
the same.
The sentiments of this resolution are right
and proper, and eneh aa all trua patriots of ev
ery section of our country do heartily approve.
Bat this was more than the Pennsylvania Do*
mocracy bad bargained tor, and so it was laid

decided vote of 60 to 46. Let it be remember

That Georgia editors and Johnsonite politi
cians ebonld have foe temerity to rqjoto at
tbe triumph of a party that baa refused to ac
knowledge a principle so olearly just and con
stitutional, as that embodied in foe above res
olution, is most outrageously insulting to the
good senseand righto of foe people. It to no
longer of any use to notice foe inoonaisteneios,
though most glaring, of foe Anti-Amerioau
party in Georgia, for they are constantly en
deavoring, by gross misrepresentations, and
base deceit to palm off such ridiculous absur
dities as, that foe Pierce and Forney party ia
foe only national one, and that it alone will
accord to the 8onth her full right t. In New
York foe Pierce party >•» if possible, still more
strongly imbued with freesoil and abolitionism.
The Johnsonites of Georgia are constantly
trying to make foe impression on foe public
mind that it ia foe Hardsjwifo whom they co
operate and that they have no sympathy with
foe Softs, whom they acknowledge to be rank
with abolition and freesoilism. This is all
tolse and only one of foe miserable anbterfogee
to whioh they continually resort. The foct is,
in every State, that party which supports
Pierce’s administration, ia foe one with which
Johnson, Cobb A Co., co-operate and foe one
over whose triumphs they most rejoice. The
Hards of N. Y. have planted themselves on
high constitutional ground—the very fame
ground upon foe slavery question, as that oc
cupied by the American party—and in all prob
ability they will all, as many have already
declared their Intention of doing, act with foe
American party. They denounce t e admin,

sigh over foe recent election in Pennsylvania,
at which foe Johnsonites so exoltingly crow.
The Foreign organs in foe South still have
foe impudence to claim “nationality" for their

real position of foe Democracy in foe North.
The Sonfo should not be deceived by these
misrepresentations. The only candid, bold,

dared to adopt a platform of principles, upon
which foe North and Sooth can stand together

iMttaem Democracy.
The Anti-American party in foie State are
exalting with exceeding great joy over foe
recent election to Pennsylvania. No donbt,
foU well serves foe purposes of foe dema
gogues and office hunters, to their effors to de
lude foe people and thereby secure their sup
port. But tbe facts to foe ease, prove eoneln-
sively that the South has little eaose to rejoice
at this Anti-American triumph. The so called
Democraey, of Pennsylvania, undertook to
carry out foe grand aeheme of deception pro
posed and advocated by their National Organ,
the Washington Union;—that foe sobjeet of
si very should be ignored in their platforms—
that they should “pretermit" an expression of
opinion upon this subject altogether.
For foe sake of party success foe Union was
willing to sacrifice foe South and to pander to
foe Freesoil fanaticism of foe North. It well
knows that foe Administration and its sup
porters at foe North are firmly and immove
ably planted on foe principles of freesoilism
and tbe only way to prevent foe Northern States
from eomlng oat to open hostility to slavery
and foe extension to slave territory was to pre
vent, if possible, an expression, of any opinion
stall, upon this sobjeet. Tbe following is its
language:
“We think It may be safely assumed that an
agreement of opinion on foe subject between
Northern and Southern men is an impossibility]
and to looking at tbe dangers involved in foe
question, and to seeking for foe means of
avoiding foots dangers, it is justifiable to act
upon fos assumption that all hope of svereffee
ting such agreement Is impossible.
These truths will command ready assent and
demonstrate foe proposition that no party em
bracing members at foe North and foe Sonfo
esn be national or harmonious in its organisa
tion wbieb does not exclude fos qnsstion of
rlaveiy from its arsed. • * *

For foe Courier.
I have read with some interest a lengthy
document entitled a memorial, addressed to
the “Senate and House of Representatives of
foe State of Georgia,” emanating from a com
mittee of seven appointed by a convention of
thirteen gentlemen, who met at Dalton on foe
16fo of August last to take into consideration
foe Western A Atlantic Bail Road and its man
agement.
The memorial sets oat by affirming it as “a
fact that two partite are forming in this seetion
of foe State—the one planting itself on spa
cious argument for ridding foe people of foe
State from all connection with foe control of
foe Western A Atlantic Bail Road, by ditpo-
ting of it to a Joint Stock Company; and the
other basing itself upon reasons tending to
perpetuate foe ownership of foe road in foe
8tate as a means of bringing its management
to foe true standard of politieai economy, and
tboe effecting tbe relief of those compelled to
use it from burdensome charges for such use."
A little after foe annonneemeot of this fact,
it asserts that “ tbe clamor for the eale of thie
mark proceeded from the appointments of the
administration; bat it affected nevertheless
to an alarming extent many of those who con
tinue to give foe administration their confi
dence and support" I have italicised some
parts of foe extracts by way of drawing foe
attention of foe reader to them. I would now
respectfully ask of foe author of this memorial
to point out foe evidenee of foe main fact alleged
—the formation of two parties in thie section-
one composed ef “ il«* oFPORlsn of thb Ad-
MlRiSTBATfoa” clamoring for the eale of the
Road “to a Joint Stock Company"—the other
composed, of course, of foe friends of tbe Ad
ministration, who ore opposed t) a sale, and are
for perpetuatiog foe ownership of foe road in
foe State, “ as a means of bringingi ts manage
ment to the true standardof political economy
to relieve those eompelled to use it from “ bur
densome charges Jor such use." I hare mingled
pretty extensively with foe people of this see*
tion, but have never beard of these two parties
until I read of them in foie memorial. Tbe
fret is there ars no snob parties in this section
as foots described in this memorial. There
has been no considerable movement of foe peo
ple of any party in frvor of selling foe road to
a Joint Stoek Company, or to any other body
of men;—nor has there been any clamor here
havingHibat for its object. Tbe most extraor^,
nary assumption however of this part of foe
memorial is that which oovortly olalnts for tbe
Administration and those who give it their con
fidence and support, the oredit of resisting a
sale, “as a mean* of bringing Its management
to foe true standard of politioa) eoonomy and
thus affecting tbe reliof of those oompolle4 to
ssoit from burdensome chargee for mob use’"
Pretermitting, for foe present, any remarks
about foe partisan obaraeter of foe present Ad
ministration, or its shameful use of foe great
publio work aa an engine for acquiring and re
taining power; I would inquire to what not
we are to look as evidenee that It seeks to ao
eompllshany such ejects as tboss claimed by
this ■sensorialf Is it not notorious that this
administration, eo far from attsmptiag to con
form Us management to foe priaolple of a wise
and sound eoonomy, or eheapea freights, or
fare to those who were eompelled to ns* it,
have don* precisely the reverse. Was It not
one of Us very first nets to raise foe freights
and fore about S5 per oent above foooeof their
predecessors? Have they not extorted fooa-
sands from foe people by an unjust extra charge
for orosaing foe Etowah River while there was
no bridgo over that stream, and bare they not
boasted of tbe ineroaeod Income of foe road
fooa levied upon foe people by foetr increased
freights, fore and other exactions? Every
body here knows from sad experience that this
been foe policy of foie administration.
Those who continue to give It their confidence
and support, knowing this to hare bee* its
poliey may talk about “foe true standard of
polltioal eoonomy," er any other eoooeit, bat
men of common sense will hold them respon
sible for foe policy and praotiees of thoeo they
thus confide in and support. Is it not known
that foo candidates of fos party opposed to foe
Administration to this oonnty took firm ground
in favor of divorcing this great pablio work
from politlos, and proventing its farther prosti
tution to partisan objects. That after allowing
a reasonable fixed charge for loading and un
loading cars, regardless of distance then foe
freight ahonld be charged according to diitanoe
of transportation. That if foe Rood oonld not
be mad* to carry off all freights as promptly as
presented, whereby a preference might become
unavoidable, then that preference should be
given to Georgians and Georgia prodnots, rath
er than to those who never oontribnted any
thing to build and equip foe rood? If there
waa any advocate tot foe sale of foe road to
joint etook company, he never appeared in the
field of polities* to advocate snob a soheme.
He did not clamor for it Where, then, I re
peat, is foe evidenee to sustain the allegation
of foe existenoe of snob a party oomposed of
opponents of the administration t I presume
foe writer of the memorial was too much en
gaged in stadying the mysteries of political
economy in foe retirement of hi* closet, to be
accurately informed as to foe cause of out-of-
door events. Tbe fact is that foe opponents
of foe present administration spent mueh of
their opposition to it, upon the onwise and
eorrapt management of the road; and if foe
people are ever driven to adopt foe expedient
of selling foe Road, it will be beeanse of the
frilure to find any other effective means of pre
venting it from being prostituted tosuehbase
partisan purposes as have characterised the
present administration. A continuance of this
administration and its policy and praetioes is
of all things most likely to prepare foe publio
mind for a sale of foe Road. It is knosru that
some of those flaming patriots who withdrew
from the American party just before foe else-
tion with a grand flourish in foe organ have
been to Atlanta to chum foe rewards due to
such patriots sinee foe election. They asked
for the modified charges made against “ Hail
Roads” at foe hotels of that eity—thus elaint-
ng foe advantage of officials. Some of them,
not getting foe offices they were led to etpect.
and not having foe money to pay their pass
age were franked baek. Will some of those
wbo “give foe Administration their oonfidence
and support” inform foe pablio upon what prin
ciples of political economy, or of morals, tbeao
worthies were transported gratuitously over
foe State Road? Is there any moral differ
ence between using tbe road in this way and
giving its earnings already collected, to their
partisans ? Is it likely that an administration
base enough to do foe one, would hesitate for
a moment to do foe other? Could foe State’s
property be in hands capable of making a
baser use of it? Up here foe creatures of this
administration affeot to disbelieve the charges
of base proscription and persecution practiced
against foe humblest employers at Atlanta and
elsewhere along foe line of foe road. But I-
have it direct from a gentleman of unquestion
able truth and high charaeter, himself a sup
porter of Johnson, that true men, earning the
daily bread of foemsalves and frmilies, were
discharged from their employments npon foe
eve of tbe election, because they resolutely
refused to vote for this administration. Some
of these noble fellows were carried in triumph
through foe streets of Atlanta upon foe shoul
ders of foe people. It was foe spontaneous
homage whioh foe human heart ever feels, and
sometimes exhibits for heroio oonduot. It was
near view and accurate knowledge of foe
manifold and unmitigated meanness of this
administration, which caused its overwhelming
defeat at tbe very seats of its power. I will
not apply to it foe vulgar language of Georgia’s
ribald Senator, but that we should have at foe
same time such a Senator and such a Governor
should be a source of profound humiliation to
every true friend of Georgia. But I forbear.
I meant only to oorreot a misrepresentation of
the memorial, whioh would put the opponents
of foe Administration of this seotion in foo
attitude of a party ooaneotod to the polioy of
selling foe V. AA. Railroad to a joint stock
company.
We have not yet been driven by the eorrnp*
tions of foe administration quite that frr. We
■hall see what progress can be made in foe
next two years in “ bringing its management
to foe true standard of political eoonomy," and
relieving “ those compelled to use it, from bur-
foensome charges,” imposed by this adminis
tration. The wisdom of entrusting to foe per
petrators of abuses the duty of reforming them,
is perhaps peculiar to those who eantinue to
give to this administration their confidence and
support I can no more understand it, than I
con comprehend how a man who “ pays fifty
cents to a Tennessean for a bushel of wheat
subtraots fifty eenta from foe aggregate wealth
of Georgia, and adds fifty eents to the aggre
gate wealth of Tennessee 1”

OSWELL E. SMITH, Secretary,
RcUgleos Proscription.
The Louisville Journal says: There is no
charge against foe American party more pre-
preposteruus than foe charge of proscription on
account of religions opinions. Tbe fundamental
principles of Popery are essentially despotic,
and foe superstitions element font is mixed with
foe system instead of reliving it of odium, only
makes foe system more dangerous a d destruc
tive, Toe American party is politically oppo
sed to papist because it is opposed to politieai
Popery. That Popery ia apolitical institution
is sufficiently admitted by our opponents when
they assail Protestant ministers for mingling in
politics in foe discussion of Popery. Indeed
our opponents are exceedingly inconsistent on
this as on many other points. When Protes
tant politicians enveigh against Popery they
are charged with disturbing re!tji»u and are
told to leave it to tbe preachers. When Pro
testant preachers enveigh against Popery, they
are denounced at once as political brawlers.
Politicians are ridiculed ms preachers—and
preaebers are reviled as politicians.
Practically speaking, foe American party
stands, in reference to Popery and to Papist*,
precisely as the Sag*Niebt party stands in ref
erence to tbe American party and principles.
Nothing is more common than for a Sag-Nicht
to say that be would be damned before be woold
vote for a Know-Nothing. An American does
not swear that he would be damned before be
weald vote for a Papist. A Sag-Nicht is there
fore more strongly pledged against an Ameri
can than an American is a Roman Catholic.
The American party is a volantary associa
tion, which pledges itself to vote against Pa
pists. The Anti American party is a voluntary
association, which pledges itself to vote
against Americans. Neither party desires to
iosert in the Constitution proscriptive restric
tions. Each has a right to exercise its politi
cal liberty to vote as it pleases. Tbe American
party disclaims that it is opposed to Papists on
account of their religion. But foe Sag-Niebt
party admits me a ground of opposition to tbe
American party, that the latter assume tbe
right to vote as it pleases. The Anti-Ameriean
party are therefore, more justly chargeable with
hostility to political liberty than foe American
party with hostility to religious liberty. Pa
pists have an unquestionable right to wsrehip
as they please; but all parties have a right to
vote as they please.
In the business relations of life the Ameri
can party are less proscriptive and bitter than
their opponents. We are informed that in tbe
county of Nelson, where foe Americans were
defeated; a striking instance of this sort reoeni-

, prior
August election, party spirit there became fu
rious. Dr. M-, a conspicuous Papist, held a
npte for $300 on Mr. M., a noble and high
hearted member of foe American party. Mr.
M. inferred from foe rancor of foe Doctor that
he would probably pursue him for foe debt as
soon as foe election should be over; and, learn
ing that a friend held a note on foe Doctor t»
double foe amount, he procured from his friend
an assignment of the note. Aud, sure enough,
after tbe election, tbe Doctor called on Mr. M.
and imperiously and abruptly demanded bis
due. Mr. A responded that it was exceed
ingly inconvenient to pay. But the Doctor,
like Shylook, insisted on the payment of bis
bond, and threatened a suit as foe only alter
native. Very well, said Mr. M.; walk into the
back room, Dootor. Accordingly they went,
and thereupon the note for a double amount
was presented to foe Doctor, credit given him
for his bond, and payment for foe residue most
oorteously requested. We are told that foe
Dootor never felt worse when confessing to a
priest bis sorrow for sin.

One Thousand Dollabs Reward !—I will
give foe above reward to any person wbo can
show anything in foe American Platform of
Principles that makes “a religious test," or
that is iu foe least ealeulated to intorlera with
tbe vested rights of foreigners already in the
country, or wbo may arrive before foe proposed
amendment of foe naturalisation laws goes into
effect. B- D. B.
We find foe above in foe Memphis Eagle
Enquirer. Here’s a ehanoe tor those sagacious
Sag-Niobts wbo have boon raving so wildly
about proscription iu American principles.
There has been quite enough of bare and bare-
less assertion—let us have tbe argument, let us
have foe proof. Our Sag-Niebt opponents have
revelled in the vilest denunciations of Ameri
can principles; they have exhausted the Eng-
his dictionary, and oven eoined hideous ex
pressions to find epithets sufficiently abusive to
apply to native bora Americans wbo dare to
love their country and thoir countrymen better
than foe outoast population of Europe; they
have wearied themselves and disgusted the
oommunity with their reiterated vituperation
and calumnies; but they have not dared to pre
sent one siogle argument to show that the Amer
ican platform requires any religious test or any
interference with foe vetted rights of foreign
ers. If this were possible it would long ago
have been attempted. The reward will never
be claimed, for it is as impossible to show that
foe Amerioan platform of principles makes a
religious tost or proposes any interference with
vested righto, as to prove tnat day is night, or
that foe sun is foe eouroe «? darknoss.
