From the New York NVu, Col. O.. A Lochrane of Georgia. (Aid-de- catnp to the Governor of that State.) was now introduced and received with tumultuous cheering. We regret that we were unable to take a more exact and favorable report of the Colonel’s address, which was interspersed with gems of wit and pathos, and constantly moved the assembled thousands of the most rapturous demonstration of approval and pleasure.— However, the following is the substance of his brilliant speech : Democracy, gentleman, is, when reduced to a principle, easily expressed in a few words— hatred of oppression ; and I claim to have been a Democrat from ray birth to this hour. Horn in a laud not wholly unknown to fame—aland steeped in grief and stripped by desolation, with a history proud and immortal!—with sublime names that glitter like rainbow hues of glory amid the clouds of gloom that hang like a badge of mourning on her skies, I can look back, like many of those around me, to tho past, and feel pass through my heart thoughts wet with dews trickling from the stars of mem ory. I can look back and feel that on my mother’s lap I learned the first grand inspi rations of Democracy that have only singe riped into more definite and distinguished principles, I saw in her tearful eyes the history of oppression, and learned to hate it. I saw shadowed iu her tours the ruin of my race; and when 1 crossed the blue waters that roll between liberty and tyrants, I carried that acred principle of Democracy in my breast —it lies close to my heart this day; it shall remain there through life—in death be buried with me; and when I rise—rise with me au emblem worthy that Heaven to which I as pire. As an adopted citizen of this republic I feel that duty demands of me au adherence to those principles; not ns an Irishman, for I mn op posed unalterably to all men who would here attack themselves to any nationality distinct from that of American. I care not from what country or clime they come, whether from Hungary, with the fires of Pored and blood of tyrants on their garments; whether from Scot land, where a Bruce and Wallace left deep trnrkc in flio nntli nf immArtnlilv • t’rnni f-irnf_ California Orders.

This immediate section of country has again been visited with another severe rain and storm—net equal in the extent of its damage ... tin- terrible and disastrous storm in the fall of 1852, but still very ruinous and destructive to the crops. The rain commenced to pour down iu torrents on Saturday afternoon, and continued without cessation or abatement for uearlv 24 hours. The wind did not com mence to .blow with much violence until about 9 o'clock of the same night, but as it gradually shifted round to the South East, it nicreased in severity—the hardest blast com ing on between six and seven o’clock Sunday morning. It then blew for a time with great violenc,—uprooting the shade trees in Talla hassee. blowing down fences and partially un roofing .Mr. Ball’s work-shop and Mr. Brok- aw's Livery Stable. This we believe was the principle damage done iu town, uniesss in deed some of the stores and dwellings may have slightly sutVcred from leakage. The Sentim ! office suffered from this cause to the extent of wetting our cases and knocking one or two important articles into pi prepared for this issue. How far the storm may have ex tended East and West of this place, wc can’t sav, nor cau we say what was the extent of the damage at Xew Port and St. Marks, but rumor says that it was not very serious, though [•flowed both places, neither the ir warehouses sustained any serious Bel-Air, we learn escaped without serious injury, except the addition to Mr. James T. Archer’s dwelling more than half completed, was prostrated in ruins. Tlie_re.il damage to the cotton crop of this county is at present incalculable. It was however immense. We have heard of one gentleman—a large planter of course, who estimates his less at gtKJ hales. Mr. Betton's gin-liouse with from “5 to 31) bags in the seed and lint room was capsized, which together with his loss in the the watc shipping ucr daiuae field is estimated at not less than 75 or 100 hales. At this rate the damage must be very heavy, how many more may have shared the name fate is not yet known.— Tallahassee Sen tinel. Col. H. Clay Davis, of Rio Grande City planted this year eighty acres of cotton, which turned out a good crop, nnd which he sold in the Mexican market at 17i cents per pound.— tracks in the path of immortality; fromGrut- liu, and by the sun-kissed waters of Lake Lu cerne ; from France, the laud of the great Na poleon, who formed for himself an alphabet of battles, every letter of which was a victory, and for whom nature became naked that she might cover him with garlands ; from Ireland, the home of Grattan, Curran, and O’Connell. The fostering and mamtaing of distinct na tionalities, I am utterly and uncompromisingly opposed to in this country. If a man is not yet incorporated into the great family of the American commonwealth his duty is' silence. “ See, hear and be silent,” should be his motto. If he is eudowed with the priveliges of citi zenship, reflection will teach him that he is an American citizen, and that he has become blended and incorporated with the American people ; and on all questions affecting tho in terests of tin’s country lie must act, if he acts in the spirit of patriotism, as au American. It is as an American I stand here this day ; it is beneath the shelter of the *• stars and stripes” my voice is lifted; it is to Americau citizens I speak upon questions affecting American interests; and when I hear of one set of adopted citizens, for whom I have the most profound respec*—their industry and integrity, their liberality and philosophy have ever en deared to me the German people—when I see them organized, no matter how small or large that body as Germans, to enter this Presiden tial contest, no matter how pure their motives, as an adopted citizen I must speak against it; as a resident of Georgia, where the name of De Kalb has been inscribed upon her teeming soil, and the Stone Mountain stands up an eternal monument to bis memory, I could not let this opportunity pass without addressing myself to my German friends. Do not imagine me as illiberal or contracted. I like to see the days which tirin'* us back iu mqmory to our mother’s arms duly celebrated with appropriate ican- vites, for in titruiug our eyes back to the land where our fathers ashes lie hurried, wc but the more strongly evince and aflirtn our affections for this in which our children’s forms are laid. Ruth, when she joined her destinies with Nao mi, and exclaimed, thy people shall be my people and thy God my God. was no less a Moabitess although she became the mother of the descendants of David. There is no fear, I am well satisfied, that any nationality of men would ever subvert our country’s institutions and set up any govern ment different from that which has guided this country to her present proud and prosperous position. They, like myself, know too well the contrast between a laud where ull men arc equal in the sight of God, nnd the scented nuisances of hereditary birth and their privil eges in the land from which they came. They remember too well the greedy devourers of the poor mail’s labor, and the cruelty which characterizes tho act worse than the vampyre, for that will soothe to pleasant dreams while it withdraws the blood of life; hut these acts with a cruelty that would disgrace a starv ed menagerie. It is the principle I am against, because I honestly think it wrong; and were they hand ed together to vote for Buchanan, as they are for Fremont, I would urge every argument 1 could against it with equal zeal, so help me God. But I candidly acknowledge my aston ishment in this crisis of ottr country’s history, when the union of these States is itnpenilied, when the clouds around and above us portend a storm that may rend this country iu twain, and cast State after State, “ Like n limb from the country cast bleeding and torn." In this day and at this time, I must admit astonishment that men who claim to be intel ligent or patriotic can alien themselves from the Democratic ranks and be found endenvor- iug to defeat the only National party left in this Republic, that maintains the only princi ples sacred to freedom and equality of the States and citizens, that can alone interpose as a shield between the Constitution and fanat icism, and save in a bond of fraternal lore and esteem the Union formed by revolutionary sires and handed down as a rich legacy to their descendants, that cau alone protect the great Republic of the United States from being slaughtered upon the altar of disunion, while the dews of its baptism nrc yet wet upon its forehead; to find men endeavoring to defeat this party and thus trample upon the Constitu tion and wreck the country is to one who de sires to sec this Government perpetuated and this light of liberty grow brighter and bright er until its beams are strong enough to reflect upon the Old World, and wake up its people to an emulation of honorable and patriotic ex ample, a fact of solemn and melancholy im port. I can only pray God to avert a day so dark, and trust llis aid and that of the Demo cratic party will interpose between us and so black a destiny. The principles involved in this i.-sue are too well known to need much illustration. The most prominent is that which Inis reference to thepcople of a Territory, when forming a State Constitution preparatory to admission into this Union, having the right to establish or inhibit slavery, in the affirmation of this proposition you find the Democratic party; and let us for a moment inquire if this principle is not the only one that can be carried into effect, without a violation of the Constitution. The territories of this Government belong to the Government. Tho Government is form ed of the States, in common as confederates, oo-eqnaia and sovereigns. The property, then, of the Government is the common prop erty of the Slates. The citizens of the States occupy a position of equality in the Govern ment. and have a common right to go and set tle upon the territory which is the common property. Now, when the men from the North and the South, the East and the West meet there nnd leaving behind them friends and rel atives go into the trackless forest, and hew down the trees to let the sun smile upon the land with fruitfulness and plenty; when they build their castle there and plant tbeir household gods, have they the right to a voice in relation to the institutions under which they arc to live and he governed ! A man goes to on,, of the Territories from New York; he had this right here; no power could deprive him of it. Now by what process of reasoning or authority, will-it be shown his removal to the Territory has alienated this right! The right is nothing more than, the right of governing himself. Now. can this right be taken from him without making him a slave ? It the people of the Territory have not the right to goxeru themselves, and make their own laws, and shape their own destinies, when does the right exist? Where lias it been lodged ? Who is its expounder? It is direct ly in conflict, not only with freedom, but with the fundamental principles upon which the Constitution was founded, to deprive a man of this right, south of the liue of 36 deg. 30. min. This right has been recognized by that restriction, acquiesced in by tbe South for the sake of perpetuating this Government. The North obtained a largo accession of free States when the Territories were acquired from Mex ico. The South was willing to adhere to the Missouri Compromise, and have it extend to the Pacific. Yon were opposed to the line then, for the South would have been benefi ted by tbc extension. You established this principle of non intervention, and thus have the glory of removing an odious distinction in justice to the people of the South, who are your brothers, and cling to yon with an affec tion as warm as tbe sun that lights up their skies The people of the South ask nothing but wliats fair, honorable and just; their claim is to go to the common property and have an equal voice with you iu governing themselves there. Suppose the .South when there were twelve slave States ami one free, had denied to the citizen of the free State the right to his voice in the formation of iustitatioiis under xvhich he emigrated to live, what would have been lusconditiou? A freeman? No. Sir, desecrate not tbc name of freedom by suck an applica tion: call virtue vice and God an atheist, with much more propriety. Then away with tliesc specious phrases anti set speeches about the rights of frecineuin the Territories, when tho principles you assert are in direct antagonism with free speech or the rights of freemen. No matter front what part of the world a matt comes, he is a freeman in this Republic. Wheu he comcs from the South that {tours her wealth in your lap, sustains your commerce and enriches your manufactories—your brother, glorying in u common history and sharing with you a c.inmou destiny—I ask is lie to be less than a freeman ? Is the sovereignty of the Southern States to be struck down and her sous denied the exercise of their civil rights equally with you iu this Government ? And do yon expect Southern blood to be cool and tamely submit to degradation ? Spirit of Washington, which sleeps in Southern soil!— spirit of Jaeksoit, whose ashes arc Southern dust!—spirit of Jefferson, of Polk, of Clay, of Calhoun, of McDuffie aud of our t immortal an cestry answer no! with the most indignant as severation. Orators may taunt, and the Herald jibe the South. They cauuot provoke her. Like the British soldiers at Waterloo under the rain of death, they will “stand firm,” unmoved amid tiie storm; ;utd when you cuter the halls to enact her degraditiou, with the aid of Northern freemen who yet love and cling to our country’s Constitution, she will run you like rats from the temple—rats that have bur rowed beneath its pillars to uproot them, and again unfurl from the capital the flag of our country with but one word inscribed on it, and that word the “ Constitution.” But I anticipate no such evil—-the patriot- sim of the country forbids it—the intelligence of the people forbids it. This storm shall pass —the clouds that lowered o’er our house shall he in the deep bosQin of the ocean, buried; and when tbc skies have cleared, and peace anil plenty smile around us, with all hands on deck —with grateful hearts swelling with emotion— our eyes shall see at the helm that pilot who | has weathered many a storm, guiding with steady and practiced hand the old ship of State j —and landing her safely with all her pas sengers safe on board, to anchor at the White Ilwww -ALw ttJf tlllXAy ftrr I>tf chanan mid Breckinridge, and three more for the Constitution. We have had heretofore a contest for prin ciples with the old Whig party; but the old Clay banner is now furled—dust nnd cobwebs gather on it to do tbeir work of death—it will flutter no more in victory, bnt it shall remain as the herald of a field on which its followers fought bravely while of its leaders, now in tbe dust we may say : “ Tin' meatiest rill—t!io mightiest river— Roll nuogliug with their tame forever!" What a spectacle between them and Mr. Fillmore, with his attache, Mr. Donelson, sowing dragou’s teeth of disunion among the people, and striking down the sacred'princi ples of civil nnd religious liberty. But I shall not take up your time to discuss his merits or demerits—he is but a spider on the Presiden tial web, easily brushed off. lie bclougs to n party already staggering to the grave, and I will write no word upon its tomb. It shall soon be conlfincd clay—soon be among the things that were— “A school-boy's dream—the vromler cf on hoar." Tbe Democratic party bos put in nomination men eminent as statesmen and pure as patriots: James Buchanan is a house-hold word. The gray haired and venerable rush to his support with an ardor equal to their younger or more vigorous associates—Ills name is interwoven with the history of the country, aud shall re main there as bright as the crimson blush of the living day. The party that lie leads is daily increasing as the lire spreads by the air that blows upon it. I feel that the country is safe; the young eagle that rose in the luiuini MACOX, O A. TUESDAY MORNING.

Buchanan ,v Breckinridge Club We have the pleasure to announce that our friend and fellow townsman, Alex. M. Speer, Esq., will address the Bnchanau Club, at Con cert Ilall ou Thursday night. On Saturday night, Col. O. A. Lochrane will address the Club, at the same place: Tbe public are invited to attend both meetings. We hope tliat our friends will turn out in force to hear these gentlemen. Col. Spear wears his hair according to the fashion of the 19tlt century, and exhibits no symptoms of the colic duriug the delivery of his speech. In the one respect he differs from Mr. Wright and in the other from Mr. Trippe. A more important difference is this—he makes a son sible, polished and eloquent speech—aud in this respect lie differs from them both. Our friend, Col. Lochrane, is well known to our readers, and his name, we arc sure, will attract a large audience. He is fresh from the great battle field in New York, where he lias manfully and eloquently defended the cause of the South, and can tell us how the fight is fought by our gallant allies at the North. Turn out, one aud all, aud let the Hall rin with patriotic shouts for Buck and Breck ou Thursday and Saturday night. “The gulled jtide will wince.’ The furious attacks which the Knownoth- ing speakers have lately been making upon the Hon.

Let ous track of tho setting sun shall yet soar iu I a ll subscribe for it, who want « rich and racy Railroad Convention tit Thotuus- Y1LLE. A Convention was held at TiiptnasviUe on the 4th inst., for the purpose of organizing the Main Trunk Road. The only interests represented in the Convention were the city of Savannah, the Savannah, Albany and Gulf Railroad, and the counties of Lowndes and Thomas. The Savannah delegatiou submitted a proposition to subscribe two-thirds of the znocK requisite~Tor-sccuni,g u—. the State, provided the remaining third could be obtaiued from other sources. They also pro posed to locate the Rond on or near tho Brtros- wiek line, provided the Brunswick Company will grant a relinquishment of their chartered privileges along the line, and provided more over they will release the people of Lowndes, Thomas, &c., from their contracts for grading. This seems to us to be asking a great deal of the Brunswick Company; we will however wait to hear their answer to the Committee ap pointed by tbe Convention to negotiate with them on the subject. If a satisfactory and equitable arrangement can be effected between the two parties, well and good; but if tlie Brunswick Company prefer building their own Road in tlicir own way, we see no reason why they should therefore be accused of pursuing a “ narrow and selfish policy.” They are now quietly bnt steadily at work, nnd their Road is rapidly progressing. Let Savannah build her road too, if 6hc wishes; and then if the coun try (as some say) will not support both roads, the people will patronize the one that best suits their interests.

The Journal A Messenger on Po litical DISCUSSIONS. The Journal & Messenger of last week con tains au article against joint political discus sions. Its Editor is of the opinion that no good can result front public meetings where both parties arc represented. lie therefore thinks that each party should hold its own meetings and have its own speakers. On this question, as ou many others, we are compelled to differ with our contemporary. He says very truly that the object of political dis cussions should be to inform the public mind; he might have added, also, that another object is for the people to hear the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Now we would ask whether this object is likely to be accomplished by oue-sided discussions ? There are always two sides to every question, and where only one side is heard the truth is apt to be suppressed and only those things will be told which arc favorable to the party repre sented. Such was the ease at the late Know- nothing meetings iu this city, where if Demo cratic speakers had been present, many errors could have been corrected, many mis-state ments set right, and many of the enemies’ bat teries turned against themselves. In politics as in everything else, it is only when mind comes in contact with mind that truth is elici ted and falsehood exposed. The Knownotbings in this place have fre quently been challenged to discussion, but on all occasions they have invariably declined— whether from diffidence as to the ability of their orators or from a consciousness of the weakness of their cause, we leave it for them to say. A party which has no argument to rely upen aud which is every day abandoned by such leaders as Jenkins and Nisbet—a par ty whose halls are deserted, whose standard- bearers have fled, and whose banners are trail ing in the dust—such a party may well shrink from political discussions. Such is the con dition of the Knownothing party, and a mis erable condition it is. lion. E. A. Nisbet for Buchanan. This distinguished old-line Whig aud recent ly a prominent member of the American party, has published an able letter in which he de clares himself in favor of Mr. Buchanan for the Presidency. The last Journal & Messen ger publishes the letter in full, with au edito rial comment that it will be road by Judge Nisbet’s friends “with sorrow, mortification and regret;” but for ourself, we rather incline to tbe belief that the eminent position of Judge N., will secure for his opinions a respectful consideration on the part of his late political associates, and that his unanswerable argu ments in justification of the course he has pur sued, will cause bis example to be imitated by hosts of his admirers in every quarter of the State. It is unnecessary for us to say a word in commendation of this gentleman, further than to endorse the praises which tlie Americans themselves have heretofore sung concerning his ability, integrity and patriotism. The A- mericans of Georgia have heretofore regarded -their Musical Entertainment. We invite the attention of our rentiers to the advertisement of the Musical Entertain ment, which is to be given in this city on this (Tuesday) evening. The name of Mas. Crisp is sufficient of itself, to guarantee the excel lence of the performance, trad for a poor pro vincial, like ourself, it would be mere pre sumption to attempt to add to the reputation of such musical celebrities as Mr. Ltster, and the fair Durand. The charming Rosalie has “ won golden opinions from all sorts of people,” iu the great cities of the Union, and all of our friends, Anale or female, who aspire to rank among the dillettanti will forfeit their claim to the character, if they fail to see, hear, and admire this, the rising star of the Opera in the United States. Entrc nous, she is ex ceedingly pretty, which in our estimation, al ways improves the voice, and adds amazingly to the effect of sentimental music. Democratic Meetings.

The procession was live miles long, and it is esti mated that 20,000 persons participated.— -There were 50 bands of music, together with torches and banners. The devices were counted, and is said to have amounted to tens of thousands. The streets through which the procession passed was in a blaze of light for miles in extent. The procession dispersed at midnight, with the utmost quietness.

Wc regret that Avant of space prevents us from publishing this excellent letter entire, in ottr present issue. We, hoAvever, copy the fol lotving extract containing a general “summing up,” which avc earnestly commend to the at tentiou of our readers, aud especially to such doubting politicians as are in search of a guide to sIioav them “ the Avay AA-hcrein they should walk”: I do not suppose that any one can hoav question the fact that the American party is without nationality.” The election ot Fremont Avill be the first scene in the drama of disunion; anti-slavery legislation, the second; the third, and last frat ricidal Avar. Such are tny vieAvs of the results of the tri umph of the Frcc-soil poAver in the approach ing election. That it will triumph, all con cede there is imminent danger. To prevent that triumph is in my judgment the highest* obligation of patriotism. To fulfill that obli gation I can perceive no practical leap, but to colt.for the Democratic candidate. If Mr. Bnchanau can defeat Fremont and Mr. Fill more cannot and the success of Fremont will be followed by the dissolution of the Union the case is fully made out Avithout farther ar gumentation : If these statements are trae, I do not perceive that for me there remains any alternative. In a contest betAvcen tho Union and my party principles—I go for the Union In an inevitable struggle between sections and thrrt apparently a final struggle, tny for tunes and tny efforts are with my oavii section. What are iny principles Avorth if I ain to lose the Union ? And what avails my preferences of Mr. Fillmore, if he, and I, and the South, arc to be sacrificed ? I assume that Mr. Buc- hunatt may be elected and that Mr. Fillmore cannot. I ntay possibly be mistaken, but such is my opinion, and 1 must act upon my oayu judgment, fallible though it be. It may be said that if Mr. Buchanan can be elected at all, he can be elected AA-ithout your aid. and why sAvell the triumph of an ancient opponent ? To'this I reply, that it is of vast moment, not only that Mr. Buchanan should be elected, but that he should be elected and go into office with the moral poAver of the entire South to sustain him, and Avith the sanction of an overwhelmin'* popular majority. He concludes as follows: The Democratic Party is the only national party which the troubles of the times have left to honest men. If it be a sectional Party, it is the Party of my own section. I trill not disguise the fact, that Mr. Buchanan com- ineuds himself to me as the exponent of the most conservative part of the Democratic Par ty—its an able and experienced Statesman and as a gentleman of unimpeachable private character. He and his party are fully witli us on tlm great slavery issues of the day- hope—nay, iny belief is, that, if elected, lie Avill administer the government upon Consti tutional principles—that being raised to power manily by Southern suffrage, and indorsing as be has done. Southern views, lie Avill protect Southern rights—that duriug his term of office the conservative elements of the nation will have time to-come into legitimate action—that the storm of fanaticism and sectional folly avIH subside, and the Federal Union be preserved. Respectfully Your Friend, E. A. NISBET. Thus, one by one, (says the Montgomery Advertiser) the leaders of the old Whig party fall into the Democratic lines. Soon all the noble spirits of that veteran band Avill be Avith us, helping to bear the Democratic flag to vic tory, aud keeping step to the music of tho U* niou. Their old WigAvatn, like Tara’s Halls, is deserted save by Knownothing owls aud bats, and the voices that once made it musical now help to SAvell the democratic chorus. A-alue our institutions, now is the time thy must act in their defence. OI<l Line Whigs of Florida. The following old liue Whigs of Florida, arc now supporting Buchanan and Breekin ridge : Maj. B. A.
