Newspaper Page TextOpinions of Fillmore and iiuch- Bnnu. We give below, the opinion* of these f ntlemen ns teported by their respeftrve litends, drawn out in personal ronviraa tion. The letter from Mr. Fillmore’s ftit nd was publi-ljcd in the Son several T:, v ago; nnd we republish it now to show •If similarity cl their sentiments on one ot the great questions of tlip day. The l I' t'er relating to Mr. Hurhiinsn, is ftom a irentlemnfi of North Alabama, addressed ’ ‘hr Huntsville Advocate —Columbus Sun.. Mempiu*, Sent. 12 IfcftG. Vd J- P Pryor : DearS.r:—Yout tio'e ri this inaiact, a-iting, for publication, the -itb.- lane® of a conversation between the lion. Millard Fillmore at <1 myself, upon •he mibjor l of * Squatter.’’ Tnr/ jlorial Soreretgnty, has just been hand. ’ trie.— 1 cheerfully comply with your request, a -1 was placed in no restraint by him in ref *ir nee to. the matter. Upon my return home from Ihe North 1 crlh’il to see Mr. Fillmore at his house in Di.fT.ily, N. Y., on the <lifi instant Dur/rtg our conversation, I asked him ” bat he jhoyght of‘Sqnat'er Sovereignty.’ and in reply, he entered in'o a fee and unreieived expression of hi* views. He said he was decidedly opposed to tl/u doc trine, as advocated by Cuss Douglass, Bciisnan. Van Ruren and others; lie be -1 eved that a Territory, until it* inhabi tant* were sufficiently ntnneiou* to au'h.ir itn the formation of a State Constitution, ■preparatory to admk-ion into the Union as a Slate could • nly be regarded as in a condition of pupilage, possetsing no sov ereignty whatever, and referred to the Ulan anil New Mexico bills, ranclioncd by him, as a correct indication of his o pinion*. I was gratified to find that Mr Fillmore occupied the same position upon this question which is maintained by the A merman par'y in the South, and bv th< w hole band of national Aupiican- at the Noith, headed by such nun as Ful'er, of Pennsylvania. Haven, ol New York, and others and I fold him I would like to he at liberty to speak of the explanation re cpirerl from him- He replied, he had ex pressed the same view* to others, and that I could make such use of them as I thought proper. Yours truly, JOSEPHS WILLIAMS Philadelphia Aug. G, 1856 My Dear Sir 1 spent two hours with Mr., Buchanan yesterday at Wheatland.— Ilis grounds are beautifully and tastefully airanged.buthfshou.se is plain and un* pielending in the extreme—everything Ins the air of unostentatious democracy - But the man himself is the very imperso. na'ion of unaffected republicanism. 1 w is never more agreeably disappointed in iny lite. He gavo us a cordial and frank reception, and talked with us with the freedom of an old acquaintance. I really felt as il I had known him all my life. He said the issue involved in this election W’ns the Union of these States as. equals. That the South has submitted to Ihe aggressions of the abolitionists with a patience that might well challenge the admiration of the world, and, considering the (unseating propensities, was difficult to understand. He tidiculed the doctrine of Squatter Sovereignity, and said that the South had now for the first time in the history of the country obtained from the government the concession of the true principles, viz': that the people of a territory have the right, when they come to form a State Constitution, lo.aay whether they would or would not have slavery. That by this legislation Congress had admitted lb at the power was with the people and not in Congre-s, and the only iule was. that thi couht be < xercispd by tin people only when they came to form Slate Govern menl, prep rateiy to admission into the Union. I give almost Ins very words He said it he should be electee!., he Its 11 sati-fi-d the slavery question Wii •• be finally settled pi -vided lie could car ry a pm turn of the New England “Star.- * *or the N • Yoik. ><li. r, word-it Pe were, elected by an no: o vote what he would do in th>- piemises would have a national support tlie strength ol Fiesotlisin, winch is sectional, w ould be dispersed. The truth is Buchanan is as sound on tl.u question as was Mr. Calhoun, and the Northern Democracy are better South mii nvu to dav than many Democrats e v, nat ihi Si 11. Wha’-ver they may > ;r-a and in- lie tofoi’e, ii.vw they meet ih qretion boldly, and the tout u tion oi s.avnv with a fearlessness tu-t *• might do well to imitaie They do not even apolog ze fur it on ground th it i i recognized in the Constitution ; they srv that it is ligdii—ihat Gad himself establish ed it, and that it lias the Bible lor its foun dation. If we do not sustain these men in defence ol our institutions, we deserve sternal infamy. The contest is obviously between Buchanan and Fremont,Fillmore is nut in the race. No man here pretends to say that he is. A. correspondent of the N. York Tribune quotes e inter Slidell’s remark, “ tba; in ca-i- Fremont ie elected, nob *dy at f.c South will tike office un ler im, ami thereupon ex ilts great, over the prospects of the increased spoils w -. oh will f ,’i to the lot of the fr -o nigger pin tv. lie says: •• Hwrratr, hoys; this makes 18,000 mre offices f-r us SVell, w’o’ll ‘alee them, and what is mory, exe cute the duties of them.” . The result may prove like the man who put his hand into to grab a rabbit, and found a wiid-cat. Ihe grab bing was the other way. THE REPORTER.

Kundolpli in a Blaze—-A test Vote taken. According to a notice which bad been given out by the citizens of Randolph in terested in forming an exact estimate of the votes, and the way they wonld be. cast in November, there assembled a large and enthusiastic crowd in the T own Hall, consisting of Three small hoys and a town loafer. This proving to be most too email a room for the crowd that was an ticipated, they adjourned tint che to a drinking saloon hard by where whiskey smashes can he had at ten cents a drink, sugar nnd nutmeg included. Here the crowd was found to be gathering fast; after due attention and respect being paid to the bar. the meeting was called to order, and Major Cornelius Dow called to the Chair, and Henderson Grovo, act ing Secretary. The Chairman then arose amid a thunder of applause, (at this mm rnent there wa an awful crash in the cor ner of the room, canaed by the fulling through of a crowd of boya who had been placed upon the heads of empty barrels, to imitate the applause in the galleries,j order being restored, attention was direct ed to the Chair—as perched upon an empty champagne basket, in shape and gesture proudly eminent—stood like a tower; but, his face Jeop scars of thumicr had entrenched, and care sat on his cheek —his nose glowing with scarlet, but un der brows of dauntless courage lie pulled off his coat and slowly tied his snspenders round his waist, he said : “ Fellow Citi zens of Randolph, and Cuthbert in par ticular; I came hero to occupy tho posi tion of a silent spectator; but being plac ed by the high estimation of my personal qualifications, I cannot quench the desire of reflecting honor upon this Chair by remaining silent- [cries of go on.] Mem bers of the Voting Club: Gen.

I hero was a considerable jug gling, for several of the town boys want ed to lit off. It was once thought that the house would have to and vide, and have two Spfukers as one was a Fillmore and the other a Bui lianun man, but tho chair ruled that no personal politics could come in, but that should be left to the voting. Thus, Col Warren Anderson came for ward. At his appearance, the excitement was intense. His personal appearance was very imposing ; having just returned from the- 6th District, where lie had labor ed arduously upon a case in Justice’s Court, his face was marked by deep thougirt and mental debility. He woio a blue sky colored shirt and wide check ed cravat, tied with negligee, over which a wide collar was turned, displaying a manly chest, over which was spread a luxuriant growth of hair. Iu one hand he held the journal of the last Congress mid tho Cuthbert Reporter —in the other B - iton’s speech upon, the Pacific Rail Road, the proceedings of the Democratic Mass Vi eating in Kentucky, the New York gathering and a small sized bottle of Radway’s Ready Relief. [Which can be had at tire Drug Store ) He apoke at length upon the air liuo Rail Road by this place, and proved to the satisfaction of every Know Nothing, that tho track would be suspended in the air, aud by this means one engine could poll enough ears, so that it wonld take one train fouri hours to pass a given point—Whiskey coul Ibe lad down boro, at half pijjto— (great sensation and stir,) And also prov ed that voters could bo carried from Fort Harrison to Camp Bell so quick that that they wold never know they had changed holes—at this remark ho bronght his foot down upon the top of the barrel on which ho was stationed with such force, the hoops gave way and in went the Col. up to his bowels in lamp oil. Tho convincing arguments brought forth by the Colonel, had a telling effect, for on close inspection, the chair was found to be in a profound slumber At j this momeut, the strains of martial music I fell upon the car—all was silent—the delegation was coming ! They came in ma:s. Upon the banner was conspicu ously inscribed that sentiment which al ways lead men to victory— ” w.. i* kins to the orderof th* cibng*nd h*r.” • hey came in at foil speed, running eight abreast as hard as they could tear Tfiecri wa°, “to the voting Convention ” flie rush was so great, that no man could wink safely or swallow with comfort. — One unfortunate individual, who at an early stage of the proceeding bad inad vertently raised his arm abovo his head, remained with it immutibly fixed in that position. Thetrowd being so dense, the Secretary was suddenly attacked with the hydrophobia, and before the by-atanders could afford him relief, he expired, hav ing barely time to take from hi3 pocket • his purse, and say, ‘‘give this to Sam.

At this, “ methought I snuffed treason in the tainted gale ” Next, Fill more men, March! At this, a few old time-worn veterans marched out with a firm and steady tread', each holding the resolutions of the old line Whig Conven tion, and stepping to the air of the ‘‘Star Spangled Banner,” they passed on The last command, Buchanan men, March! and out they marched ; everything was in commotion ; the chairman immediately employed sixteen men to count for him. The crowd was so thick that our report er, with another unfortuuaic man, got their ears rubbed smooth off. When tbis < hit| pened our report closed j but the majority was then 750 clear light. We understand the Canal question was also afgued. O Wo copy the lollowtng from the Richmond Whig as appheable to our-! selves : j Wo havo a number of eommimk’ations on hand, and most of them have an a-d ----dem am of tlii-purpa t, “wcuse mistakes nnd bad wilting.” \ c wisn we t-oukl ; | but this is i he last sort of request that eor - respondents should make of un editor; ‘they write at leisutc, and have a bund janco of time to lie careful of their matter and ehirograpliy If they write one word tor another uu editor ran not correct it ; and if they employ hieroglyphics, an edi tor cannot decipher them ; or if be can, neither lie nor the compositor has time to devote to such a purpose.

A Severe Rcdcke.—Ye-terday on tho occasion of the celebration of the surren der of Mexico, Gen Quitman, of Mississ ippi, wished to have an introduction to the remnant of the New York Volunteers individually.

Colqcit, Ga.. Oct. 3d, 1850. According to previous notice, a large and respectable crowd of the citizens of Miller county, assembled at Colquit, in said Couuty to day, for the purpose of holding a Democratic Meeting. When, on motion, the Hon. Isaac Bush, was called to the Chair, und Thomas Floyd appointed Secretary. A good old fash ioned Democratic barbecue was prepared for the people—the ladies having been cordially invited, many of them were pres ent with their beauty and smiles, to.cheer on the gallant Democracy. John.l. Hales Esq., of Bainbridge, was the first speaker introduced, who addressed the audience for two and a hnlf hours. He touched upon almost every issue involved in the present contest, nnd showed from the re cord, that Mr. Fillmore has proved him self unworthy of Southern confidence.— : After Mr Hales had concluded, J. F. M. Caldwell, [formerly of Randolph,) was introduced, and spoke for one hoar. His speech wu full of wit and humor. Ilis arguments on the slavery question, and the reason why poor men at the Sonth, abqfre all others, ongbt to be enlisted mi dor the banuer of Southern Rights, were convincing. At the conclusion of Mr. C's. speech, the audience repaired to the table and partook of a good and substan- 1 tiul barbecued dinner, after which, they reassembled at the stand, when Stephen | W. Parker Esq.,(late of ChntahoocheeJ i addressed them in a speech for more than 1 au hour, Mr. I’, reviewed nt length the position occupied by the seveial caudi- i dates for tiie Presidency, and showed cons j elusively that \I. Buchanan, is the only safe and reliable man for the South, and the Union. Upon the whole, it ms a great day for the Democracy of htlle Mil ler. At the conclusion of M Parker’s speech, the following gentlemen were ap pointed to represent Miller county, in the Mass Meeting to be held at Atlanta, on the 17th, and 18th lust’s. Stephen W. Parker, J F. M. Cakhvell, Bui well Roberts. John C. Sheffield, B. R Spence T. li Sheffield, Guilford Boykin, Will am Weaver, J. Kimbrcll and Michael Cook On motion, Hon. Isaac Rush was added On motion, the ‘Times & Sentinel, - 1 ‘Al bany Patriot,’ Cutlibcrt Reporter,’ and ‘Bainbridge Argus’ are requested to pub lish the proceedings of this meeting* On motion the meeting then adjourned. Isaac Bosh, Ch mn. Tnos S. Fj.oyd, Sec’ y. I'aeitication of Kansas, The St Lou s papers of the 22d ult* contain later intelligence from Kansas, by which it appears that all parties in that Territory acknowledge the authority i of the new Governor, and that tho -irm*! o<l companies from Missouri are disband : ing nnd returning to their homes. We extract the following .’ The steamier David Trftnm’ arrived j here yesterday afternoon from St. Joseph t She left that port on Wednesday last. 1 At Kansas she took on board about 350; citizens of Mis.-win, who, in obedience to tho proclamation of Gov Geary, had given up their military organization mid returned to Missouri Lmfencewis in pnsses-ion of the U.

The train 4 front Jefferson City last eve ning, brought down several gentlemen | direct from Kansas They were pssen gers on the Anbfy, and bring tho latest I news. From one es them we lea n that the whole of Gen. Reid’s force had been disband'd, and returned to their homes j Gov. Geary was at Lecompton with 1000 j United States troops, and determined to 1 maintain the po-ico and execute the law j Under his orders ninety men had been j taken prisoners at Lawrence. The re port of Lane and hB men having fled to ! Nebraska is confirmed, j It is very gratifying to hear these tid i ings, and to know that the violence which j has so long prevailed in Kansas is at an end. Gov. Geary began right, and a like i firm purpose to preserve order, and to | punish all offenders against it, will soon i make life and property as secure in Kan sas as in any State of the Union. California. Tho latest news from California (of which the mail accounts hive reached us) is of some interest. The three political parties had begun to organize for the Presidential and State elections, but it was manifest that the Fremont party was contemptibly weak in the State, and would hardly be felt in the contest. Only one newspaper in the’ State, it is report ed, sustained Fremont. The American paity has fully organized, with much spi rit and great confidence Its Prt'siden tial Electors are Hon.

We find in the Charleston Courier of the 2d inst., a statement of the origin snd ’ termination of the late duel near Char leston, made by the friends of the parties ’ engaged. A. G. Magrath, Esq., was a candidate for Congress, and a communi cation appeared iu the Mercury (of which Mr. W. R. Tuber was one of the editors) which lie regarded us making “unprovok ed charges anil aspersions’’ against his character. Without the knowledge of A G. Magrath, however, his brother, E. 1 Magrath, Esq., sent a note to the two ! editors of the Mercury, charging them with having “after repeated threatening* and with deliberation, published and cir culated insulting and libelious attacks up on his brother;” anil, without inquiring for the author of the communication, he demanded satisfaction “ severally” of the two editors. Mr Taber replied, deny* j fog that tho Mercury had made any threatg to publish the communication or endorsed it, repelling E. Magrath’s inter ference as an intrusion and an “outrage on the liberty of the press,” &e, ; but nev ier hcless consemiiig to meet him. The meeting took place mar Charleston on the 30th ult.—we.ipoiiß pistols, distance 1 ten paces After an ineffectual exchange of shots, an effort was made by the sce- I onds anil other friends to adjust the dif ficulty, without success.

Very recently they committed ko gross an 1 outrage, that C’apt Stewart, with forty men, was ordered out from Fort Riley to 1 chastise them They Were pursued, and encountered at some distance on the Platte—tho dragoons being piloted by* 1 two of the Indians who'havc so tong been J confined at Fort Kearney.

At the close of the ITon Howell Cobb’s speech at the Democratic meeting in Bedford, Pa., on Monday evening, be was presented with a magnificent wreath of flowers by the ladies of Twenty-third Ward, of whom over 300 were in attend ance.

I A London editor says: “Experience r shows that whether we have a good or j had harvest, we must have large supplies from abroad to insure moderate prices at home.
