Dk.«hi,bb, of N- J< “Be ye net Deceived.” The so called Democratic party of Geor gia are attempting to practice a grand ne of deception, In regard to foe position of foo National Democracy, upon the •nlgcct of slavery. This plan, aa we arc cred ibly informed, was set on foot by foo notorious John Van Boren, seconded, promulgated and advocated by the Washington Union, the well known organ of the Federal Administration, and echoed, or acquiesced in, by foe Aminis- tration papers of Georgia generally. The grand tost of membership to this nation al democracy, is support of Pierce’s adminis tration—this cuts off the N. York Hards, the only truly conservative, eonstitatianal branch existing in all the Northern States. They op pose Pieree’s administration became of its freesoilism and yet foe Anti-American party of foe South try to Mind and deceive foe people and indoee them to believe that foe Northern wing of foelr party is sound upon the slavery question. Disguise it as yon may, still foe la mentable stands out in bold relief, that foe Democracy, of foe Northern States, is foor- ongbly imbned wifo freesoilism, and a perusal of foo platforms adopted by their State conven tions most clearly show this. Of coarse foe Administration papers of Go. deny ibis, bnt what of to Jfoay have denied many another fact that is as palpable as foe nose on a man’s face. But what is their proof—why some 40 of their representatives in Congress voted for the Kansas Bill—But where are they now? are they still battling for foe constitution and the rights of foe South? The great majority of them are, for this very act, condemned by their constituents and their places supplied by un compromising freesoilers. There are good rea sons to believo, that these representatives vo ted for foe Kansas BUI, with foe expectation that foe “squatter sovereignty” clause, attached to 14 would be foe certain means of making it a free State. 8peaking upon this subject the Chicago Democrat says: The same Democratic principles that make ns detest slavery, make us anxious for a heal- thy foreign emigration, as foe best means of getting rid of it. The Albany Atlae, a leading Administration paper in commenting upon foe dnty of oppo sing slavery and foe extension ot slave terri tory says: We believe that foe popular heart of foe De mocratic party of foe North beats more sound ly to unison wifo the great principles, than any other political organization. If It wore necessary we could quote from a large number more of-Northern Democratic papers, all showing that they are completely carried away with freesoil and Abolition fanat icism. But foo following from foe Charleston Mercury, a thorough going Democratic paper— Abe ability to judge, patriotism, or authority of which, will not be questioned by our oppo nents—in lamenting the abolitionism of the flaud, mm ingl -A p*rty has arisen to New above name proposee to tween the Hard and candidates in equal nd Soft nominees.— , within started in ] a few weeks. says: We have no faith to foe ability of foe Dem ocratic party. It has been overwhelmed at the North by Abolition, and is powerless, either far its own national ends, or foe protection of the South. Thus it is wifo foe National Democracy, so mueb boosted of, by foo Southerner, and other AnU-Amerfesa papers of this State. Wo are heartily sorry far the sake of their “dear eon- scionsces,” that they are compelled, by party trammels to conceal ^ach facte ss foe Mereary thus boldly sets forth, and assert foe contrary to be true. Do they not see foe position of their Northern allies glaring them to the face constantly? If they do not, they are “blind, as never Bat was blind, with a dead, bloodshot blindness of the soub“ Notice foe following from foe Richmond Ex aminer, a paper whioh has, perhaps, a higher reputation among Democrats, than any other one to the South. It, one would infer, is not quite willing to “ignore foe subject of slavery^ and sell the South body and soul for a miser able moss of potage and sacrifice her interests to foo doubtful chances of party success. Tho Examiner says: _ „ u The first fa foo polioy of politicians; tho soeoad is the policy of foe Demoeraey. The first eontei plate ooalUion between Southern Democrats and Northern Freesoilors; tho second a stern disapproval of every such scheme of bargain and corruption, an out and oatrepndiation of all compromises, and a sink or swim, live or die, survive or perish, rally to foo Constitution, foe whole Constitution, and aolktog bnt foo Con ■titutloo. Tho politicians are badly engaged at Wa*h< tngtoa and elsewhere patching up tho coalition.

Snob it foo polioy by whioh they endeavor to seenre their own Insect preferment at foo oost of all that a patriot can hold dear, of foo de struction of national prinoiples, and of tho overthrow of foo Constitution. In view of those things we adopt foe follow ing truthful remarks from foo Lnnfaville Jonr- ti. We now ssk foo candid reader to examine into foe position of foe American and the An. ti-Ameriean party in reference to this question. The Democratic party is acknowledged by foo most'reputable of its organs in foe South to bo completely abolitionized in foo North and powerless everywhere; they acknowledge wifo grievous lamentations that its leaden only hope to keep it upon its legs by bowing to sub mission to foe Freesoil faction, and by aban doning foo South to foo fierce hatred of aboli- The American party on foe other hand, has proved its devotion to national prin ciples. It has, at foe expense of moeh of its strength in foe North, refrised to make any concessions to abolition rapacity, and stands up boldly in defence of Southern rights. It fa foo avowed enemy of abolitionism, foe ac knowledged protector ef foe interests and pe culiar testations of foe 8oafo, and foe firm unswerving defenders of foe eonstitation and the Union. Let Southern, and, national ment let foe friendb of foe Union everywhore re flee, upon these foots. They will not fail to see that the Democratic party Is powerless for good and pregnant only with evil to foe South, wifo danger to foo Union, while to foe American parfy there is strength and justice and hope for protection to Southern rights nnd safeey to both sections of foo eoanby.

For foe Courier. Haring drawn upon himself foe terrible ar- tilery of Capt. Braggart of foe Organ. Hnge- not most defend himself as best he may. The pnblie fa informed of foe very important fact that —he was a member of the convention of thirteen,—that he most cordially approves every word to foe memorial of the committee. He almost admits that he is foe author of that vo luminous document, for he pleads gnilty to foe soft impeachment of being a student of foe mysteries of political economy. It is only ne cessary to read his memorial to see that its plainest principles sre indeed mysteries to him. He says that “ foe reviewer seems much more interested to making prominent his individual views wifo respect to foe subject discussed, than concerned to give prominence to foe posi tion of many membere of the parfy to whioh he fa attached.” The reviewer has a right to speak for himself, and to give wbat prominence he ean to bis views. It fa foe right of every mem ber of his parfy to do the same for himself: He may, and probably does, to this respect differ from this editor, whose business it fa to echo foe views of his masters. The egotistical and snperoilions insolence of this swaggering organist shall not protect him from the treatment bis folly deserves. He as serts aa fact wbat is calculated, and was doubt less intended, to pat foe party opposed to his model administration in a false positionto commit it to foe polioy of selling the W. A A Rail Road to a joint stock company. This Hngenot ventured to qnestion. He called re spectfully upon foe author of the memorial for the evidence of this allegation. This calls out fob perfunctory editor wifo a display of his pe culiar wit and silly sarcasm. If he were in troth a wit, it wonld be snffioient to say that “ Wisdom less abhors a fool than wit” He has a double title to her abhorrence. “ He rageth and is confident.*’ Hngenot stated the position assumed to this county by the candidates of foe parfy aconsod in this memorial, to show tho falsify of the charge. These candidates, were sustained by foeir parfy. The organist makes no reply to this bnt a stnpld reiteration of tho obarge. This fa bogus togio. It is said that the candid ates of his own party in Chattooga were in favor of selling the State Road. Can be name any candidate of foe American parfy who took that position ? Can he show where they held a single pnbiio meeting and took soeh a posi tion? Can be sustain foe obarge made by any show of proof whatever? Let him do this, or stand convicted of having preferred § obarge which he cannot sustain, andyet baa not tbo manly honesty to retraet. This is a specimen of foo sort of war bo so vanntingly proclaims. It fa to be bereaftor, as it has been heretofore^ a war of misrepresentation and falsehood, only more nnscrnpnioas and malignant. I hod been content to look with indifference or contempt There are two lines of policy contemplated ! °P on o*iml exhibitions of littleness of for the Democratic party in organizing for tbo ■ * ou ^ ant * of spirit, whioh characterize ’'residential campaign of 1856—-the policy of men moved by selfish aims, and restrained in non and eompromiee, and foe policy of j theIr 9H9t parBaIt o{ ipoIIfl/ by D0 priacipleB of decency, honor, patriotism or troth. It was snpposod however that when tho motive for this vile torrent of abuso bad oeasod to stimn late;—when eager expectancy had ripened into actual fruition, there would be at least a tem porary abatement in foe fary of foe fon! cur rent. Vain expectation! It should have been remembered, that foe jnst and virtuous alone are capable of generosity and magnanimity;— that foe good and foo great alono are incapable of making a mean use of victory. The cons, ciousnesa of power onkindlos in tho hearts of foo noblo and foo bravo tbo sentiments of goa* erosify and magnanimity; in those ofthe mean aad oowardly malice, hatred and revenge. The buatoeae relations of Uf* end foe courtesies of •octal-intercourse an to bo sacrificed to parfy rage, tte.IttMiriien of thrae hypooritiwl leaden who have affootod to abhor proscription. I will now expose a characteristic trick of foe organist by wbiob he attempts to skulk from his met<m of political eoonomy, as it stands stated to his memorial: and will then show ite ntter stupidity even as it is revamped to his oditorial review of it. Hereto the axiom in foe true style of Sir Oraole os it stands in foe memorial. “The man toho hat tho least knowledge of bueineet ean plainly that yf he paye fifty cento to a Tenncoeeenn for a buehcl of wheat he eubtraett fifty cents from tho aggregate wealth of Georgia, and adde fifty cents to the aggregate wealth of Tennessee.” “He I ween has optics keen To see what <• not to be seen./ The axiom aa resta ted bnt not amended by the organist in his paper of the 8th tost: •‘It is no fanlt ofthe writer of the memorial that Hugenot lacks the power to comprehend fSf' the political ax iom, that a man who pays a sum of money for an article to eon- stime, to a producer liv ing in a foreign state, adds that sum to the aggregate wealth of the foreign, and sub tracts it from the ag> aggregate wealth of hie own State ‘ It is frequently more difficult to answer a foo 1 than a man of sense. Tho one either has no ideas ataU or bnt oonfnsed ones expressed in vagne terms; while foe other fa always at least int e lligi bio. Here is a substitution of a foreign state for Tennesse« t and a poor abortive attempt to save the credit of this profound political economist, and bis wonderful axiom by introducing foe new words “to consume;” as if foe object for which ex. change is made coaid ebange the nature of foe articles exchanged! What right had he as an honest disputant to change foo proposition by introducing these terms? He probably thought tide version of his axiom was more tenable than foe first. Hngenot had the presumption to donbt the troth of this axiom and did so by sim ply saying he could not comprehend it; where upon this sublime genioos gives himself airs,—- insinuates that Hngenot fa a fool, but takes care not to attempt to explain. As usual how. ever be reiterates his axiom (so called to save himself foe trouble of makingproof) with some ebanges and additions of phraseology which he may think make it irresistable to all endow ed wifo a small share of his wonderful compre hension. Wheat is wheat, no matter where it grew, or how, or for what purpoee it came into Georgia. Is not that axiomatic:—as good an axiom as yours Sir Oraole? Thus, while sneer ing at foe supposed want of comprehension in others.he is bnt betraying his own shamefnl ig norance of foe first prinoiples of the verv science he pretends to have studied. Anyone who has read and comprehended foe first chap* ter of Say’s work on political Economy, or has brought a little common sense and reflection to the consideration of the snbject knows that the term wealth is employed by men in a soc i al state “to designate an indefinite quantify of ob jects bearing inherent value aa of land, of met al, of coin, of grain, of stuffs, of commodities of every description.” This definition ofthe term wealth is to be found in the first paragraph ofthe first chapter of that standard work on Political Economy now nsed as a text book in every respectable School in tho country. The student will there find not only that grain is set down as an item of wealth, bntthat’landed seen, rities, Bills, notes of band, and the like” are em braced only “became they contain obligations to deliver things possessed of inherent val. ne”—s u c h as g r ain Ac., Ac., and not be cause they have any such value in themselves. Yet here is a pretender to science, a memorial ist, and adviser of the State, so ignorant, that he not only strikes wheat from foe catalogue as an item of wealth, bnt evidently pots down & bank bill as more Talneable when in troth the valne of the bill and even of coin in its capacity of money depends upon the fact that it may procure grain Ac., Ac. To get grain is to loose wealth! Dogberry. There are bnt two ways of getting grain—to raise it from the soil' di rectly or buy it with other products, or What comes to the same thing wifo money got for these products. No matter how obtained, it is wealth, and be who gets it adds to his own, and the aggregate wealth of foe State whereof he is a citizen. ^ Oh bnt it is to be consumed} What then most profound economist? Does wheat cease to be valuable, to constitute wealth because it fa an article of consumption? Are yon indeed so ignorant of first principles that yon do not know that its value fa owing to the very fact that it is consumable,—that it fa capable of supplying a want. Do yon set it down as no item of wealth* for the very thing that makes it wealth? Take foe world at large, and all the wheat fa it fa for consumption. Is the world there fore no wealthier for having an ample supply? Sand and Saw dust may be wealth in Dogber ry’s Philosophy. They are not to consume.— Cotton, Rice, Sugar, Wheat, Corn, Potatoes, Tea, Coffee, Wool, Flax Hemp, Cloth—in fact nearly every item that enters into and swells the great aggregate of national wealth, that sets all human iudua try in motion derives its oharacter of wealth from the faet that it fa ca. pable uf consumption, and fa intended to be oon sumed. Yet here fa one, vastly wise in his own conceit, who sets down wheat, got in exchange, to be e jnsnmed, as a loss. This shows his pro. found ignorance of another principle of politi. oal economy—namely that wheat belongs to that class of commodities termed productive capital. Every individual farmer's Capital con. sists besides land and tho improvements thereon of his laborers where be owns them, of horses males and other animals, of various maehinos tools, Ao., and of neoessary seed and food and clothing for himself hfa family and other ani. mats. All those items, hardly excepting even land, are capable of consumption, and are oonsumed. They wear out, or are consumed; that fa, their value fa destroyed more or less rapidly by nse. All this destruction of valne —or consumption fa replaced in snccessfnl industry, by foo reproduction of other values in return. The valnes roprodnoed assume the form of cotton, oorn, wheat, and a variety of other articles, valuable because they too are capable of being consumed. Is the planter, with ample stores of oorn, wheat, bacon Ao, not more wealthy, all other things being eqna^ than hfa neighbor without thoso neoessary sup plies ? Answer, learned Dogberry! There fa still another fundamental principle which has eluded the oomprobonsion of profes sor Dogberry ; and that is,'that products can be bought only with products, Mongy, which tho professor regards os so oapitalan item of wealth, I • of no use except to facilitate foe exchange of products. Perhaps this can be illustrated so as to be olear even to his comprehension. A plan ter of Baker county plants an acre of land in cotton, and while consuming hfa year’s supply of corn, wheat, bacon, Ao; he gathers r brie of eotton whioh he sells in market for $40. He •ends foe $40 to Tennessee, or if the Professor ohoosoa to • foreign State aad gets 40 bushels of wheat, which he baa in the place of hie Cot ten. With his product, cottoa, he bays the Ten* neesewn’s product, wheat Can onr Professor see plainly how foe Baker planter baa subtrac ted forty dollars from hfa wealth by making the exehange ? He ought to get Money and keep it The Tennesseean, of course onght to pnrsno foe same wise policy of gating money and keeping it If foe Professor’s wise polioy eonld be oar ried ont foe world over, we should witness foe sublime spectacle of every body, every where making every thing to toll to get money. Can he see very plainly, whepe the money in snob a ease fa to cornel from or who fa to bay foe pro ducts ? Instead of insinuating that people are fools who have not the power to comprehend hfa sublime conceptions even when concentrated into foe form of axioms, let him show hie good breeding, benevolenco and true learning of bis favorite science by making the principles of political eoonomy comprehensible even to common minds. Can not the man who baa foe least knowledge of business sep that if foe Baker planter can get forty bnshols of wheat for foe product of an acre of ootton. when he could not raise half that quantify were be to sow bis own acre, he fa adding to hfa own and Georgia’s wealth by taking that course. It fa in foie way that each section of country, and every part of tbe world, devotes ita industry and capital to raising of those products for which it fa best adapted. Hence, the greatest variety and amount of products, each producer obtaining from the others hfa necessary snprly of products with tbe proceeds of foe sale of hfa own. To facilitate this exobange of produots, fa foe sole' nse of money. Here let free trade come fn to facilitate and promote active oommeroe, internal and external,, and ail the varions wants of man will be most abnndantly and cheaply snpplied- Then will there bean end of the stupid scram ble after money as the greatest good, to be boar ded by indieidnafa and communities as the only real wealth. HUGENOT. Poprrt—Just Sediments.—Daring the re cent session of tbe American Convention at Lynchburg, Va., says foe Louisville Journal, a speech was made before that body by tbe Hon. Thus. Stanhope Flonrnoy, late candidate of the American party of Virginia for Governor. Mr. F. discussed all the articles of the Ameri can creed and vindicated them triumphantly. If he had only been permitted by hfa parfy, whilst running for Governor, to take tbe stamp and to make such speeches throughout Virgin ia, the Americans would have carried the State by an unprecedented majority. We give, below, Mr. F’s remarks at Lynch burg upon the policy of the American parfy not to support Roman Catholics for office. The view he takes fa foe right one, and he eluci dates ii clearly. We ourselves hare repeatedly taken it ana .attempted to make it clear. Ev ery intelligent nl5D, not misled by passion or self-interest, knows that the Roman Catholic doctrines are directly subversive of every prin ciple of religions toleration and freedom. The members of tbe American party are foe stern and sworn friends and ebampions of religions toleration—of the freedom of all men to wor ship God according to their own consciences; and, being so, they cannot consistently, and they will not, aid in bestowing evil power upon the known enemies of toleration and freedom. If men are in &vor of a tariff of protection, they do not support anti-tariff men for office; if they are in fiivor of internal improvements, they do not support anti-internal improvement men for office; if they are in favor of tbe rights of tbe South, they do not support abolitionists for office; if they are in favor of honesty and fi delity and trntb, they do not support -ogues and rascals and liars for office; and,if they are in favor of religions toleration, they will not, so they have either consistency or sense, snpport those for office whom tbey know to be bound by their hopes of heaven and their fear of hell to persecute all who dissent from tbe creed of their own church. The Anti-American idea that we must show onr devotion to foe great principle of religions toleration by voting for its deadliest enemies fa as vile an absurdity as ever excited the scorn of mankind. We quote from Mr. Flournoy’s speech: The American party is charged wifo reli gions intolerance, and with opposition to reli gions freedom. This I utterly deny. One ot its leading objects fa the preservation of reli gions liberty, by holding in check the influence in this conn try of the Roman Catholic church, whose tenets and whose history show it to be the great enemy of freedom of opinion. We moke no war apon it as a religious denomina tion, but we uncompromisingly oppose the tern poral power which it claims, and its rights to control the consciences and actions of men as citizens and as subjects. We insist that they shall have secured to them in our country per fect freedom of opinion, and the right to wor ship God according to the dictates of their own consciences. It fa difficult to see how any ean- did mind shall so misconstrue the principles of the American parfy teaching these subjects as to make upon them the nnjust and unfounded charge of reiigions intolerance- The eighth article of the platform fa so plain that he who runs may read and nnderstand, declaring, in emphatic terms, opposition to those only who acknowledge an allegiance outside of our gov ernment, either civil or spiritual. It fa the political feature in the Romish church which we oppose; and while I wonld aid in defending them in their worship of God according to their own judgments, even to the sacrifice of my life, yet when we come to prefer men to office, I would unhesitatingly record my vote agajnst them, believing that their principles make them unsnited to repnblican institutions. To illus trate, suppose the Methodist, Baptist, Presby terian, or Episcopalian ohurches were to de dare, os part of their creed, their belief in foe necessity of a anion of church and State, wonld it be religions intolerance, or opposition to reli gions freedom, toawow a determination to op pose their election or appointment to office? Wonld nut this opposition be tbe support and maintenance of religious freedom? History teaches us that Protestantism and liberty go band in hand. Wherever the Roman Catholic church is In the ascendant, despotism prevails. Preceding tbe Reformation, under its influence scarcely a ray of liberty penetrated the gloom which had settled upon the wo: Id But as Protestnntism has advanced, liberty has pro gressed, and wherever it has taken a foothold, liberty has found a home. For illustration, look to Spain and Italy upon the one band, to Scotland and England upon the other; compare in Ireland tbe adjoining counties in which Pro testantism and Romanism alternately prevail, and the difference is marked. It fa equally aa striking between the Protestant and Catholic States of Germany; and upon onr own conti nent it fa more strikingly illustrated between the Untied States and Mexico. The struggle of tbe American party upon this su’ ject is but a revival -of tbe spirit of tbe Reformation in opposition to the Romish church, whose track has been marked with persecution and blood; and I trust that the American parfy through ont the oountry will adhere firmly to the position they have taken in opposition to the temporal power of tbe church of Rome. Civil and reli gions freedom both require it. LITER FROM EUROPE.—ARRIVAL OF THE STEAHER ARAGO. Tbe steamer Arago has arrived wifo four days later from Europe. Liverpool Market.

It will be a gathering to gether, in one sink of pollution, of all foe cor rupt political elements in foe Dmocretic party. To come in contact wifo the feeted, polluted and polluting mass, to breathe foe dank atmosphere that shall arise from so mneh putresence, will be to come polluted, and to inspire nnwhole- some and dangerous contagion. Let ob keep away from foe political cesspool ” The Charleston Mercury, speaking of the im policy of encouraging these Conventions, says “If these reasons were ever good, snrely they are stronger now than ever, when the Demo cratic party at the North, wifo bnt rare exceptions, is bottom to the core, when foe memory of foe California wrong still burns in onr bosoms, when no party can stand np at foe North that does not compromise with Aboli tion; and when aggression stares- us on eve ry side, and foe price qf friendship is dishon or.” The Columbus Times & Sentinel, says. “It must now be evident that if the Union fa saved, and foe rights of foe Sohtb are protected in-foe Union, foe National Democracy is*the only party which has foe will and power tg do foe work.” Rone Market. .
