Jeiildns L out in a letter, defining his position in the Presidential contest, in reply to Dr. Willis Willingham, of Oglethorpe, Ga, requesting Ids views on the subject He sets out by saying “there is but a ’ ingle exciting question now before the American people, viz: a proposition to repeal that feature of the act organizing the Territories of Kansas and Nebraska which expressly abrogn cs the Missouri restriction.” He then takes a survey of the three parties, denouncing rightly', and handling with the right kind of a spirit, the*Biack Republicans. “It presents,” he says, ‘ as its candidate, Mr. Fremont, famous only for wild adventures in explo rations of our Western wilds and snowy mountains—-a fit instrument in the hands of the desperate faction who have com mitted their black banner to bis bands.” He thinks the strength of the Republi cans D far beyond tlm general estimate given them by the South. He next refers to the American party. Ho confesses the principles of this party are good. “The object is a good one, and when pur ned by legitimate means, without being made primary to others mme exigent and more important, will, I trust, claim the favorable consideration of the whole ptibl c” Me objects to the American party because, “although not sectional, is of doubtful nationality.” lie objects to Mr. Fillmore because he (Mr. Fillmore) lias publicly denounced the re- peal of the Missouri Compromise—that ho failed to endorse tin Platform of the American party of Georgia He sums up ins objections to Mr. Fillmore by ask ing three questions. “ First, does not the emphatic condemnation of a legislative act justify the expectation that lie who so condemns, will concur in and approve its repeal ? Secondly, lias or lias not Mr. Fillmore publicly and emphatically con demned the abrogation, by an act of Con gress, ol the Missouri restriction ? Third- he be content to stand there be fore Southern votes, where ought he to stand in the ides of November ?” With all this, lie says “ Mr Fillmore is a most worthy man—an able statesman, who, in llio legislative and executive departments has clone the country good service, and made his name honorable.” lie then turns to the Democratic par ty, aud sets out by saying : “But there is a third contestant in the field, the ancient iron ribbed Democracy Theie it stands, armed and equipped cap n pie with imposing mien, but with un numbered sins upon its hoary head l’ry iniueut among these, in my humble opini on, is that of having brought our present troubles upon us, by inordinate indulgence ot its 1 hso ft r teriitori.d acquisition, glaz ed over by the fallacious pretension of “extending the area of freedom”—-the demagogue’s hobby aud the filibuster’s apology. That will be a dark day for the country, when conservative old line Whigs identify themselves with this party. In their palmiest clays they could only partially check, not arrest the downward tendency of its misrule. Their mission is still and ever to combat ifs errors and counteract its objectionable policy But with all its faults, that party now stands forth, alone in its reliable nation ality—alone in its unqualified pledge to maintain the present status of congression al legisluliou on the slavery question.— For the redemption of this pledge their orators at the l.listings and their editors through the press are now faithfully la boring. Exceptions there may be, but in general, even on freesoil, they come up manfully to the work. The party is plan ted on this policy, their committal is com plete —with it they must sink or swim, — Their candidate, as broadly pledged, as deeply committed ns themselves, is Mr Buchanan, the wisest, most conservative, most reliable Democratic aspirant to the Presidency. I hey call him an old fogy I have an instinctive leaning to old fogy ism, when put in competition with young Americanism. I would take him in pre ference to ilie most, promising sprig of of young America that Democracy can boast.” Then follows an appeal to all conserva tive men lo rally to the preservation of the Union. Mr. Jenkins as yet, is not deeply stuck with the Democratic party. He makes more a convenience of it than a permanent choice. “ Let us save the Union now, through the instrumentality of the Democracy, if may be, and oppose than hereafter when occasion shall require the same indomitable spirit they have en countered in us heretofore.’' 1 Mr. Jenkins is a man who has more warm admirers among the old line Whigs thau any man in the State. He has fought hard and long against the Democ racy, and we do not think that it is a no ble and generous spirit'now to o over to their ranks, in the day when prosperity is smiling upon thorn, and at the same time say that so soon as the majority is wrest ed from their hands, he will forsake them, uud fight them again with the ‘ same ia domitablo spirit.” We love to see men open and consistent throughout in all things. Our space forbids us publishing Mr. Jenkins’ entire letter, it coming in J after the gi eater portion of the matter Wus in type. Mass Meeting in Enfaula. We gather the following from the Spi rit of the South, of the 9th. The con course of people was very large. “ Here and there you could see a representative of gallant I'ike. and ever faithful Dale, unyielding Coffee, and indomitable Hen ry.” A liberty pole, upwards of a hun dred feet high, was erected, on which was hoisted a flag, presented by the ladies of Eufauln, 36 by 18 feet.

The next came from our own State, the Hon. Martin J. Crawford, the Representative of this Dis trict in Congress, His effort was beauti ful aud logical, nobly maintaining an J de fending the position of his party and their principles. There was also Hon. J.N Ramsey, of Ilairis, Ga., whose speech created more applause than any of the orators of the day. The barbecue was bountiful and excellent.

Mr. Editor: —ln an article upon “Our Town,” in your issue of the 30th ult., you indulge in remarks, which, we think, are calculated to impress a very erroneous opinion upon the public mind. As none of u3 can be injured by it, let ns have the truth, and the whole truth, of the matter. I ask, therefore, the privilege of replying to so much of your article as refers to the Town Council. You ask, “Where are our Town autho rities ? What has become of our Council ? Men, leading men, of our community have time and again been selected, and elected to fill the position of Couucilmen Leg islators liave gone to the trouble and ex pease of passing incorporate laws, and of again extending them at our solicitation, and to-day what benefit is arising from them ? No) one. There can’t lie found even the Ghost of a Councilman who will publicly advocate the enforcement of Town Laws, or raise his voice rightly to wards putting down the disgusting exhi bitions of street affrays, dog-room de bauchery, or night-annoyances, See., &c.” Now, the evident intention of this, is to attribute the present deplorable condition of our town to the Council, when it can 1 be proven that there never lias been a: council ttiat did not suffer, and finally die | out from the want of sympathy and co ! operation on the part of the community. | The last Council, particularly, went into office, knowing the failure of the preced ing ones, aud the causes of the failure, and were the more determined to sustain aud enforce the Town O.dinauces became of the predicted failure of it, also, ‘l’ney commenced their duties with vigor, amen tied and adopted the old Ordinances, e lected an able Marshal, and declared to all offenders that they would punish accor ding to the letter of the Law. It was not long before this was put to the test. The Marshal, in the discharge of his duties, called upon the citizens lo aid him. They refused —aud not only refused—bat deri ded him, and openly declared themselv es opposed to his authority. Men, thus en couraged, were open and defiant in their misdemeanors, knowing they could not be , brought to justice when the popular feel- j ing w „s with them in their opposition to, the Council. The Marshal resigned, and I the council, after trying for some time to j procure the services of another competent j officer, satisfied that they could aecom- I plish nottiiug with the existing state oi \ feeling towards them, finally disbanded, j ordering their clerks to publish the fol lowing notice : “Whereas, there appears to be a mani fest indisposition ou the part of the re | spectnble portion oi the community to ! maintain Law aud order, not only by a ! total neglect to aid the Council and Mar shal in enforcing order, but an evident in- \ clination to wink at and encourage Row- I uyism by sneering at, and deriding the ) officers for attempting to enforce Law. And whereas, we are tired a running against tne popular cunrrnt, and attempt ing to promote the wellbeing of society ; contrary to its own inclination, aud at our | own expense. And whereas, we believe that a longer continuance in office under present cir cumstances but engenders riot, Rowdyism and a mockery of Law. Therefore Resolved, By the lutendant and Coun cil, that we hold the- citizens no longer subject t - the by laws of this corporation. Aud further Resolved, That we recommend their Honors, the Judges of the Inferior Court, the Justices of the Peace, the Road and Patrol commissioners, to put iu immedi ate force, the Statute Laws, and especi ally those in reference to Roads aud Pa trols. And furttser Resolved, That we resign our present position, recommending this place lo the special notice of Missionaries.’ 7 And men presume to throw the blame of this failure upon the Council ! When ■ they have been actually driven out of office by the contempt and derision of the eom j munity—aud that, too, by “ the respecta ; ble portion of the community’’—the very j men, who now bewail in loudest tones the defalcation of the council, and hold up their hands in holy horror at the scenes they are compelled to witness in our streets. So much for the Council. VTe heartily join you in your appeal to the business ’ men—the respectable portion of the com ! munity—with them rests the respocsibili ty of all the failures to have our Town | Laws properly enforced. These are the men who must begin and carry on the re formation. No Council can do it without their sympathy aud co-operation. Let them elect a of competent men and aid Let them submit to a tax 1 (“ay ! there’s the rub”) necessary to sup port a good Marshal, to build a guard house, and horse-racks, &c., &c., and the thing is done. ’Till they are willing to do this, in the name of Justice, let them hush their reproaches and not seek to re commend themselves to Mercy by visiting their sins upon an unoffending party. * ONE OF THE COUNCIL. Letter from fapt. 11. D. Clayton, Kansas Emigrants. The editors of the Times, of this are in receipt of a letter from Captain Henry D.
