Congressional Proceedings.
The unorganized condition of Congress, and the
almost endless personal explanations, fruitless pro
positions, and abortive voting—details of which
we have published, so long as tve regarded such
matters of interest to our readers—renders it al
most unnecessary to say more than that Congress
is still unorganized, with as much certainly about
the result, as there existed seven weeks ago.
There is a slight gleam of sun-rise, however,
growing out of the proceedings of Congress yes
terday. If all the candidates arc withdrawn and
a fresh start made, we are not without hopes that
there will be a Speaker before the close of the
week. Who will he elected to the long contested
office of Speaker, will furnish matter for specula
tion and gossip, until the news travels the wires
and the country is informed of the result.

[COMM VNIOATTII, I
President Pierce.
Mr. Gardner— l have noticed two articles, which
have recently appeared in the Savannah Journal,
one over the signature of “M.,” the other over tha,
of “ A Planter,” urging the re-election of Presi
dent Piepce, which must meet, in my humble judg
ment, the hearty concurrence of every Southern
and Southwestern man who is honestly devoted to
the true interests of his section, and of every sound
man everywhere in the w hole country who desires
to see the Constitution and the Union, both pre
served intact.
With the exception of the unwise aud imprudent
“Jlare up” of the New York Hards, there has been
no fault found with the President worthy of notice.
This was a tactions movement, aud has almost en
tirely passed away, with the disappointed hopes
that gave it birth. And in this, the truth was
beautifully and forcibly illustrated, that a rigid
and faithful adherence to principle, is stronger than
any mere factious combinations, however poteut
they may seem for a time. Whatever demagogue*
or men who make politics a trade, may say to the
contrary, there can be no doubt that President
Pierce is more popular, in the true sense of that
word, to-day, than he was when he was carried to
the White House by the electoral colleges of twen
ty-seven out of the thirty-one States. The differ
ence in his popular vote will show this if ho make*
the next race.
The disgust which consert alive men of all par
ties, in all sections of the Republic, are beginning
to feel and exhibit ut that lawless aud reckless
spirit of fanaticism which disgraces the freesoil and
abolition party of the North—the threatening as
pect that things are made to wear by reason of
their present numerical strength iu the National
House of Representatives, viewed iu connection
with the fact that Gen. Pierce is himself a North
ern man. aud vet, as President of the whole peo
ple, does not hesitate, ns shown by his late able
message, to
“ Board the Lion in his den,
The i Fred. 1 Douglas in his Hall,"
aud discharge faithfully and fearlessly his whole
duty under the Constitution. 1 sav that all these
facts, and the considerations naturally suggested
bv them, point to President Pierce as the man for
the occasion. The popular heart demands his re
election, and all we have to do, as a party, to in
sure this result, is to nominate him, at Cincinnati,
in June next. What say you to this? Let the
Democratic party, in Georgia at least, show their
hands on this subject. While 1 entertain as high
respect for the many bright names iu our party
who have been mentioned in connection with this
office, as any other man, still my conviction is
strong and decided, that President Piekci is the
man whom a sound policy and a wise and conserv
ative patriotism would, at this particular juncture of
affairs, designate above all others. Let him be our ;
candidate for President, and the Hon. A. H. Ste
phens for Vice President, and all the combined
factions and isms iu the whole country will give
wa;, before their triumphal march. U. j
Names Suggested for President and Vice i
President.
We cheerfully publish the communication of our
correspondent “H,” one of the most staunch and
intelligent Democrats of middle Georgia. In doing
so, however, our only object is to atford evidence of j
what is goiug on in the minds of others on the ;
subject of the Cincinnati Convention nominations,
as indicative of the current of public sentiment iu
Georgia. It is not our purpose to take ground in
advance fur any ticket that may be named.
I While, however, we say this, tve freely eoueede !
that many patriotic and enlightened considerations
concur to give force to the claims urged by “H”
■ iu favor of the nomination of the distinguished cit
izens named by him. The claims of General
Uieuce, oil the whole country, for his eminently
patriotic, manly aud statesmanlike administration
under circumstances of peculiar embarrassment,
will not be lost sight of by the Convention. In
j fact, it is not easy to conceive the grounds of ex
j pediency or justice, on which that body could agree
i upon any other nomination. General I’iercb is
evidently the favorite, at least of the South, for the
nomination. But the Southern delegates should
not close their ears to arguments, if any be offered
at Cincinnati, in favor of some other nomination.
The South should be abundantly content, if she gets
the principles recognized by that Convention, on
which she insists as essential in the administration
of the Government, which recognition is a sine qua
non of her co-operation.
For a like reason, it is a question of doubtful
propriety for Georgia io put in a bid for the se
cond office for one of her own sons. Her position
is now a commanding one, as she has undertaken
to indicate the principles which that Convention
should adopt as the price of her co-operation. It
would weaken her influence at the same time to
appear as a suitor for one of the high places of
the government for one of her sons.
There is no doubt Mr. Stephens is one of Geor
gia’s most popular, as he is one of her uiost dis
tinguished citizens, and his very eminent and effi
cient services to Georgia, to the South, and the
Union in the great crisis of the day, involving the
Constitution and its most sacred principles, present
him prominently to the whole country as one of
her most deserving sons.
Our position is, Georgia could gracefully and
properly respond to the call of other States upon
one of her sons to run for the Vice Presidency,
should their delegates in the Cincinnati Conven
tion make it, but her own delegates ought not to
take the initiative.
“Chaos has come again.”
■ The Washington Organ has created a model plat
form for the American or Know Nothing party.
Here it is:
“And now what are ‘American principles?’
For what purpose was the American party formed?
What is the ultimate scope of its objects ? Has it
anything to do with the tariff question? No—it
neither demands a horizontal nor a protective ta
riff. Has it any creed on the question of banks?
No—it neither advocates a National Bank, State
banks, nor a sub-Treasury. Has it any creed on
the questions of roads, canals, harbors, or public
lands? None whatever. It leaves these questions
to the free action of the Representatives of the peo
ple, or to the States! Has the American party
formed to enslave the African race? Certainly
not. Was it formed to get up a crusade against
those who koM Africans in bondage? Certainly
not. It is then, as a party, neither pro-bank nor
a/i#t-bai’k, pre-tariff nor an?i-t*ritf, pro-internal im
provement nor u/fft-interual improvement, pro
slavery nor (i/iti-slavery, but it is a party formed to
carry into effect, the maxim that ‘ Americans shall
rule America.’ ’’
A party constituted upon such a basis, and
presenting such a non-committal course to
the consideration and support of the people of
the United States, should receive the condemna
tion of all. It is alike an insult to patriotism as
well as to intelligence. It is insulting, not alone
because it authorizes the opinion that this country
is not governed by Americans, but further, that we
should not make important measures the test of
party regulation. A national party, without well
defined national principles, is a political absurdity,
and could not have a more appropriate designation
than that of a Know Nothing party.
From tht Federal Union.
Mr. Henry M. Fuller, His Politcal
Friends and Antecedents.
As Messrs. Trippe and Foster, with several
other Southern Know Nothings, have been voting
for this gentleman for several weeks fur Speaker,
we propose to show who are his political friends
and supporters, and what are his real sentiments.
In doing this, we shall avail ourselves of the testi
mony of Mr. Caruthers, a Whig member of Con
gress from Missouri. Our readers will recollect
that these statements were made upon the floor of
Congress iu the presence of Mr. Fuller, and neith
er i bat gentleman nor any of bis friend* presumed
to deny a single word of what is here said; we
will let Mr. Caruthers speak for himself:
“ I desire to state at this time, aud in the pre
sent connection, in order that what I may remark
mav go out with the observations of rny colleague
md friend ; and I am proud to call him such, the
easou* why I have not, do not, and never will,
rote for the distinguished gentleman from Penn
-ylvania, (Mr. Henry M. Fuller . I could not vole
.or Mr. Fuller: and 1 believe that we are allowed
ii call members by tbeii proper names before the
organization, because, while a member of the last
Congress, 1 knew, and now remember, that
hroughout the Kausas-Nebraska tight, in every
- age of that trying contest, his predecessor, the
.ion. llendrick 11. Wright, stood fast by us, was
me of us; aud; sir, before Iliad cast "a vote, I
found that the distinguished gentleman from
Pennsylvania, (Fuller) had come here as his suc
essor from a Democratic district, and because of
uis triumph over Mr. Wright in consequence of bis
■ote on the Kausas-Nebraska bill at the lust ses
sion. I could not rote for him then, on the first
vote. When the first vote was taking, I watched
its progress, because many of the gentlemen with
whom J was previously associated were disposed
o vote for Mr. Fuller. In that very first vote, i
when we were casting our votes for the purpose of j
making up a record, and when he had the entire j
House from which to seleet, I saw that gentleman !
brow bis suffrage for Mr. Pennington, of New j
Jersey. I remembered tlieu, that al the last Cor.- j
gross Mr. Pennington bad voted to suspend the !
rules with a view of affording Mr. Eliot, of Mas- 1
sachusetts, an opportunity to introduce a bill to j
repeal the fugitive slave law.
When Mr. Fuller could take a northern or a !
southern man—when be could select a conserva
tive man for whom to cast his vote—l saw him ;
rote for a man who had been in favor of allowing |
the privilege to introduce a bill to repeal the fugi- |
live slave law. I could not vote for him. Mr.
Pennington, on that vote, voted for Mr. Campbell, j
of Ohio, a gentleman, by-the-by, for whom 1 en- '
tertain, as he knows, the most propound respect ;
personally, but whom I regard as the embodiment
of northern sentiment on the slavery question, i
Another vote was had. Mr. Fuller voted for Mr. i
Pennington ; aud Mr. Pennington on the third j
vote, voted for Mr. Banks, of Massachusetts, who
is not only the embodiment of Freesoil Democracy, '
but, it seems, also of northern Americanism tuid ;
of ultra northern republicanism. Mr. Pennington 1
voted for Mr. Banks upon that ballot, aud Mr. Ful
ler voted for Mr. Pennington after he had voted j
for Mr. Banks, and for sixteen times. I sat in ;
mv seat and saw Mr. Fuller, after Mr. Penning
ton bad voted for Mr. Campbell and Mr. Banks,
east bis vote sixteen times for Mr. P» nningtou. j
Could I, sir, as true to the principles of the Ne
braska bill, upon which I was elected—as true to
the State to which I owe allegiance—as true to the 1
constituents who sent me here upon the Nebraska
issue —could l vote for a man with such a record
as that ?
Again, in another part of his speech Mr. Caruth
ers refers to Mr. Fuller’s position upon the Nebras
ka bill, and says that gentleman declared in an
swer to the enquiry ot Mr. .Sage, of New Fork,
that he was opposed to the Nebraska bill, and was
in favor of the restoration of the Missouri restric
tion, if it could be done. We give his own words:
lie replied that he as in favor of the restora
tion of the Missouri restriction; that if he had
been in the last Congress, he would have been op
posed to the Jvansas-Nebraaka bill; and that he
was in favor of restoring the Missouri restriction,
if it could be done, but as it could not be done,
as a practical statesman, he was against all agita
tion.
With all these proofs of black Abolition associ
ations in their candidate before their eyes, Messrs.
Foster and Trippe have cast their votes for Henry
M. Fuller, who, according to the testimony of Mr.
Caruthers, another Southern Whig, is as’rile an
enemy to the South as Bank* himself. Here is a
programme: Pennington votes for Banks, Fuller
votes for Pennington, and Foster and Trippe vote
for Fuller. This is a true picture of the great Na
tional Know Nothing snake whose head is in .Mas
sachusetts with his tail in Georgia.
Pr. Thaddeus William Harris, the well known
Librarian of Harvard College, died at Cambridge
on Wednesday. He was sixty years of age, and
was pronounced by the learned Professor Agassiz
to be “decidedly the best entomologist in the

From the ChronieU & Sentinel.
Franklin College—Professor LeConte.
Mr. Editor— Dear Sir: Dr. LeConte has again j
appeared before the public, and reiterates the as- I
sertion that he and other officers in Franklin Col- j
lege have resigned their positions in the Institu- j
tion, in consequence of the unpleasantness of an |
association with me.
I see nothing of any importance, in the Doctor’s
second edition, except the testimony of Mr. Pond j
and that of President McC'ay. And with a remark j
or two concerning the genera! subject, and the ;
same concerning his two witnesses in particular, I
am willing to refer every individual to my former '
reply to him, and abide' the decision of an intelli- j
gent public.
And in the first place, 1 remark that this com- j
plaint, respecting my intercourse with the officers
of the College is wholly confined to a family con
nection, President MeCay, Dr. Jones, his brother
in-law, and Mr. Pond, brother-in-law of l)r. Jones,
and John LeC ntc, cousin of Dr. Jones, and Mrs.
Pond.
Here were four members of the Faculty, so close
ly connected that their every act then and since,
lias shown that the interest of one was the interact
of all. And no one, lam sure, who has read with
any interest the productions of these men, can fail
to perceive that the testimony of one is the testi
mony of every other, and that they have not pro
duced the slightest proof from any other source.
Other gentlemen have served with me in the Fac
ulty, and some of them many years—-they are "hon
orable men, and if an association with me had
been so unpleasant, it is hardly to be supposed that
some of them would not hava made it known. The
gentlemen of the Trustees, residing in Athens,
have known me intimately—some of them for more
than thirty years. They have lived with me as
citizens in our peaceable, moral and religious com
munity—have felt a deep interest in the College as
citizens and as Trustees, and many of them educa
ted their sons under my administration.
The whole Board of Trustees, composed of men
of the highest character and sternest integrity, who
have long been entrusted with the supervision and
control of the Institution, who have been well ac
quainted with its officers, and who have annually
assembled ai Athens to look into its affairs, could
not have been ignorant of so serious an evil if it
existed. Could Professor after Professor have been
driven from the College for cause such as Dr. Le-
Coute has asserted, and the Trustees be ignorant
of it ? I have been more than thirty-six years con
nected with the College, more than twenty-six of
which were in my present position. Dr. LeConte
and President MeCay have been the first, and with
some of their connections, the only individuals to
accuse me of “cruel, mean and arbitrary conduct,”
and virtually to accuse the Board of 'Trustees, of
either gross and inexcusable ignorance, or of gross
er and unpardonable neglect of duty. And let it
be remembered, that Dr- Jnsei h LeConte, the
brother of Dr. John, is still a member of the Fac
ulty, and has been for more than three years.
One other subject may be noticed, viz : “ that
the standard of scholarship has been sadly lowered
since the resignation of Prof. MeCay.” This is un
true, and utterly without foundation, Dr. LeConte
himself being witness. Much the larger number
of our students enter the Sophomore Class, at the
first and secoud terms. The first examiuation,
therefore, of the Sophomore Class, after entering
College, is the best test of the preparation which
much the larger number of students hud made
when they entered College. The following is ex
tracted from the Records of the Faculty, kept by
Dr. J. LeConte, from 1849 to August, 1 855 :
“ Average of the Examinations ot the Sophomore
Classes from 1849 to 185.3, inclusive—Bo.s—B4.o—
These classes were admitted while Professors
MeCav and John LeConte were members of the
Faculty. The class of 1855, is the class which, Dr.
LeConte says, most strikingly illustrates the sad
lowering of the scholarship ; and yet the average
of this is 87.3 —higher than four out of five of the
classes admitted success, while both McCay and
LeConte were members of the Faculty.
As, however, President McCay ha 3 magnani
mously stepped forward as a witness to suctain his
“ dear friend,” I will ask the public to look at
his testimony, as presented in his two letters. Af
ter serving with me twenty years, and being about
to resign, he addressed to me the first of the two
letters found below, and after an absence of two
years, he writes and authorizes the publication o(
the second.
1 submit these letters to the publie, and am will
ing for that public to deaidc how much credence
is io be reposed in the man who could write them.
And I apprehend no honorable man, after reading
them, will doubt the declaration of President Mc-
Cay, when he asserts that “it was extremely un
pleasant for him to associate with a man, of whose
private worth and purity of character he entertain
ed a high opinion.” But here are the letters:
Athens, Dec. 15, 1853.
“ Rev. Alonzo Church, 1). D.— President Uni
versity of Goergia—Pear Sir: In presenting,
through you, my resignation, I embrace this op
portunity of thanking you for the kindness you have
shown me while 1 have been an officer in College, and
of expressing my high opinion of your talents and
ability, and of your private worth and puritv of
character, as a man and a Christian.
“Very sincerely yours, Ac., Ac.,
C. F. McCay.”
“Columbia, S. C., Dec. 24, 1855.
My Dear Dr. LeConte: You ask mo whether
“one of the chief considerations that induced me
to resign” my Professorship at Athens, was the
“unpleasantness of an official association with Dr.
Church.” In reply I would state, that during mv
long'connection with Franklin College, 1 had vari
ous difficulties with the Doctor, in some of which
very angry feelings were indulged, and very bitter
words passed between ns. Sonic of these difficul
ties lasted lor several weeks, and some for several
months. They were, however, all terminated be
fore 1 resigned, by mutual explanations and mu
tual forgiveness. It can hardly be supposed, how
ever, that after such repeated reconciliations, a
cordial or hearty good-will existed between us.
On the contrary, although at the time of my resig
nation a kind feeling did in fact exist. Dr. Church's
Macon letter shows that he was dissatisfied with
me in three or four important particulars, gome
of these I then knew ; some l suspected; and some
I was ignorant of. But the apprehension I felt
that our recent reconciliation would be temporary,
and that our courteous intercourse would he soon
interrupted again, was one of the main causes that
induced me to resign. I freely mentioned this at
the time to some of my intimate friends at Athens;
and though I had no wish to make the public ac
quainted with these motives, ns you, mv friend,
have asked me for them, I cannot refuse to come
forward and sustain you You have, therefore, mv
permission to state in any way you may think pro
per, that one of the chief considerations that in
duced me to resign, was the extreme unpleasant
ness of an official association with I)r, Church.
Very sincerely yours, C. F. McCat.”
The above are a beautiful specimen of that
“jewel consistency.” A. Church.
I hope papers which have published Dr. Le-
Conte’s letter, wiil nlso give the above an inser
tion.
Mainr.—The message of Gov. Wells, to the
Legislature, contains several suggestions of general
interest. He remarks upon the subject of slavery,
looking to colonization in Africa as the best inode
of gradual emancipation, and concludes by saying:
“ The Southern people are subject to the burden
of slavery; they know how to treat it better than
we do, and it is alike alien to patriotism and a true
sense of religious duty, to inflame the minds of
Southern citizens and aggravate their condition by
a constant course of censure and an unnecessary
interference with their affairs.”
A paragraph is devoted to the Missouri compro
mise line, and the Governor thinks the time will
soon come when few will desire its restoration.
The J udiciary and the naturalization laws receive
attention, and upon the latter point the Governor
makes the following remarks:
“The true policy of our State is to encourage the
introduction of foreign labor. Every full-grown
person who is able and willing to labor, adds very
much to the riches of a State.' It is not creditable
to its, who, in tracing our ancestry for two or three
generations, find them to be persons born in for
eign lands, to awaken prejudices against foreign
ers. This country was made for the down-trod den
and oppressed of all nations. By liberal laws we
have invited foreigners to our shores, and there
are hardships enough incident to their exile from
their native homes, without the imposition of new
and onerous regulations, causing unnecessary dis
quiet and vexation, in their effort* to avail them
selves of the benefit of those laws.”
The act passed hv the last Legislature to prevent
ony person holding office under the laws of Maine
from aiding in the apprehension of fugitive slaves,
the Governor condemns.
“But, in any event, all such laws are objectiona
ble. They indicate a disposition to escape from
our constitutional obligations. We ought not to
enjoy all that is agreeable in our national relations
while we repudiate what is uncongenial to our
tastes. We should never give our consent to a law
which is not required by strong necessity, when it
is directly calculated to create an animosity be
tween the inhabitants of different States.”
Power of Tins Moon at Night.—Mr. Crane in
his “letters from the East,” has observed; “The
effect of the moonlight on the eyes in this country.
(Egypt,! is singularly injurious. The natives tell
you, as I afterwards found they did in Arabia, to
always cover vour eyes when you sleep in the open
a;r. It is rather strange that the passage in the
P aalms—‘The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor
the moon by ’night,’ should not have been’ thus
illustrated, as’ the allusion seems direct. The moon
here really strikes and affects the sight, when you
sleep exposed to it, much more than the sun; a
fact of which I had a very unpleasant proof one
night, and took care to guard against afterwards.
Indeed, the sight of a person who should sleep
with his face exposed at night, would soon be im- t
paired or utterly destroyed.”— Qrayoiy.
