THE STANDARD. GASSYILLE, GEO. THURSDAY MORNING: APRIL 5. 1?55. p...j it.— ... i. ■’ ■"-■ ! The Meeting on Tuesday. We hare neither time nor room to do more than call attention to the proceedings of the Democratic meeting to be found in another column. We are glad the last resolution reported by the committee was adopted It is tfce true position for the party in our bumble opinion, and it must either triunVph or fail on that platform As we said last week, if we are true to ourselves victory must and trill perch on our banner. Col Joe Fell. Cur citizens have had the good fortune of listening to this celebrated Temperance Lec turer for thr past two evenings, at the Methodist Church He is one of the most effective Temperance orators we have ever beard. Clear, forcible and at times elo quent, he places the subject before bis audi ence in such a light as to force conviction, while he •• supposes cases” and relates anec-, dotes in a way we have seldom seen equalled. The Colonel goes from this place to Mari etta, and thence to Atlanta, and wo say to our friends in these places that they may confidently expect % treat without fear of disappointment. Judge Joseph Henry Lumpkin. The Athens Banner says: •* We learn from 1 an authentic source that the Hon.

We give this as our opinion, from- ob •ervation Many persons think the peach crop will be an entire failure.

Borwell, E-q , of Virginia, j a Whig E liior of great ability, is to take ‘ charge hereafter of the Southern Quarterly ; Review.” * We clip the above from one of our exchan- j geo. If true it is unfortunate, not on’y for : the work itself hut for the South, that the Review has pa?sefl from under the editorial I supervision of Mr Simms, who has given it ; a reputation secoml to no publicution in the country, and ono which it can never attain ia the hands of any one else. We feared xaore than a year ago when we severed our connection with the work, that the new pro prietor would pnrsne this oourße With no strong feeling in favor ol oar section, Mr. Bimms wac too thoroughly Southern for biin. We say this in no unkind mo> and, bnt merely to give expression to our honest con victions Mr, Simms was ardently attache 1 to the Review, bad clung to it in all its dis Amities, had devoted much valuable time, for years past, to giving it a reputation, without adequate remuneration, and now that tho work bids fair to sucoeed, it is hard, ly fair to import an editor when one so emi nently fitted lor the post and so justly enti tled to it, is ou the spot.

At any rare, this company had gone down a good ways. and there was • no doubt about their *• striking copper” im- ! mediately, if not sooner.

Day after day. these were his dreams, and day after day they didn’t find Copper. At length pa tience was well uigh exhausted, and doubt began to chase away Ins bright visions, when one momentous day, as he sat. near the mouth of the shaft, lie heard a’voice from below : ..

It was too much for our friend. The ful ; filntent of all his dreams was at hand—the | shock was too great, and consciousness for j sook him. He was sprinkled with Schiedam j Schnapps, rubbed smartly, and at length opened bis eyes. .. Did you say j’ou’d found it, boys ?’’ .. Nothin’ shorter,” was the somewhat in elegant answer. ..

A late number of the Augusta Constitu tionalist contains an admirable article, in answer to an editorial of the Chronicle 8c Sentinel We sincerely regret that our limited space will not permit Us to copy it j entire. We commend the foil* wing extract | to the candid consideration of every South j ern tnan, who has the love of his section at ! heart. We sincerely believe that many good j men at the Siuth are deceiving themselves. Let them look to it before it is too late: 4. But what thus far has Know-Nothingism at the North achieved which is entitled to the sympathies of Southern men? What has it done to propitiate cur good will ? Wluit has it done to prove itself national and patriotic in its aims? We will not rehearse its Abolition triumphs in State after State at the North, by which national men, devo ted to the Constitution of their country, and ; anxious to quell the unholy fanaticism which j threatens us with all the evils of sectional ! strife and final disunion, have been cloven ; down and Abolitionists elevated to seats in j the United States Senate once occupied by | such moil as Webster, Everett and Silas i Wright, and which soon will send Abolition j tsts to fill the seats once occupied by Levi Woodbury and Franklin Pierce as Senators trom New Hampshire—which have placed in the Executive Chairs of most of the Northern States Governors who believe in a higher law than the Constitution, and are possessed of but one grand and leading passion, a de sire to make war on Southern Rights We take from this exposition the picture it draws of IVm. H. Seward —a demagogue, an in triguer. a bargainer with Jesuits an aboli tionist and a Conspirator against the peace Os the Union He, it is pretended, was marked down as peculiarly the object of Knnqp Nothing hostility and proscription Behold him now re-eleeied United States Senator by Know Nothing votes. It was in the power of the Know Nothings to defeat him They only could defeat him. Had but twenty three Know Nothings in the New York Legislature voted against him he would ! have been defeated But so far from this he was elected by twenty two majority.— During the whole debate in the New York Legislature on the Senatorial question the Know Nothings who opposed his election had not one word to say against him on account of his anti Slavery opinions. Their whole opposition was based upon his want of sym pathy with their anti Catholic and anti foreigrt movement. But their sympathy with his anti-Slavery opinions proved stronger even than their attachment to Native Amer icanism ” lu the same paper of the 22d inst. there is another able editorial, too long for us to copy. We make one extract: 4. There is a set of Know Nothing princi ples put forth 4 by authority,’ recently in New York city, by the 12th Council of Know Nothings, in the 15th ward. The Expositions and Resolutions would occupy several col umns, and we cannot insert them here. They will probably he adopted, it is said, by all the Know Nothing Lodges of the Empire 1 State of the North Will they adopted by the Lodges of the Empire State of the South ? If they are. we will then know what Georgia Know-Nothingism in, and could enable our readers, outside of the or der form an opinion on the subject, and have one for our own guidance. Be this as it may. the people and the press of Georgia should have a public and authoritative expo sition from the Know Nothings of Georgia I . j We could then know how far Know-Nothing-- ism is prepared to go in reference to two leading objects of its action the foreign pop ulation and the Catholic Church in this couniry, and could then judge how far that action might bo legitimate, and at what point it would become impolitic an 1 wrong |On all other topics embraced we could like wise form an opinion and take a position. Wherever in otlior States it is authoritatively set forth, it embraces openly, or covertly, auti slavery nbolitiofiiem. in spirit—pro scriptive and a warfare of sects in religion, and Whiggery in politics. IlHs Georgia Know Notlnngism no better fruit to offer us? No Democrat can adopt that platform witli o’l* abandoning former opinions and making war upon his principles. No Southern man c>*n rejoice over the Know Nothing victories of the North without being false to his own section—to his State—to his home and fire- . side.’ .Is not this suggestive,” snys the Atlanta Intelligencer, *< of every tli.ing that ia ab surd, odious and dangerous ? A common i name is to give nationality to a party, as I well as national command and dictation, while every primary meeting and council ns to the vital question of duty and principle, each squad and clique has unbridled license ito do just ns they list Heretofore great par ! ties h ve possessed some unity, some univer sal element common to every member, and which gave to party an unmistakable indi viduality. But here w have a party that scekß to bind together a tremendous cordon lof political agencies by a mere name. We will ask (aud we do it most urgently) for information as to the excepted point, or p ints of difference between the oreod of Northern and Southern Know-Nothings. Is not one of those excepted points as to which Know Nothings North and Bouth have agreed to diffur tho only one iu which tho Southern patriot can feet the least solicitude ? We ■ were promised upon the new advent of this i new order of patriots, a general peace for J the public mind or a tremendous no tation for peace But, so tar as overt demonstra tions teach us anything. Know-Nothings are only m favor of the re, ose of the dead. The bauk and tariff questions and such faded, tattered para phurn<ili.* of parties, the Sub terraneans quietly reject, for the present, but when wu come to ask their friendly ofti- Ces in staying the approaches that tho incen diary and conspirator are making towards ’ our ruin, their protestations their vaunted power and deadly concert all go for nothing •< And whilo we were tuught to look to this American party par txctllcnce, for tho inMagumtion of anew reign of peace, Ira ternity and equality, we, so far from having l tbs guaruntee umiuta.ncd as to one porten tous danger, have another just as perilous I to it. We must now provide for tho dead test tuud between members of our own community, upon our owu soil, as woll us the united eutnny of the Northern States, that of itselt was more than a matoh lor ue. und is every hoar diggiug a pit for the lib erty and honor of the South It the Bouth. if mis fuvorod and proud commonwealth of : Ittes era octett rantwg her sttn of bir|, I and head that qualify them for command, j let them prepare to take their places. We ] feet that at this stage of its organization, it i ia worse than foolishness to address argu- ’ mefits of remonstrance to Derttocrnts who have attached themselves to the Know- ; Nothing putty. But it must be seen before it can be accredited, that true Democrats ! will commit themselves to a policy the spirit of which is grossly violative of every priirci plc to which ihey ever adh red before. We cannot believe that men. who for years ster eotyped their maledictions against the spirit ! and tendency ot the alien and sedition ! laws, can nqw submit to the open shame of | transcending the bounds of injustice content- t plated once by this spawn of Federalism and i then going beyond the credulity of this old , outrage on the republican sentiment, of our ! peoplein avenging the outbursts of passion on the part of the victims. Look to the re torts of the press sympathizing with Know- Nothingism upon John Mitch el’s letter to j the voluntoar companies disbanded by that j apostateson of Massachusetts, Gcv. Gardner. We may search in vain in the records ot Catholic oppression in the British Isles for anything more acrimonious or more high handed. Are Democrats, the professed de fenders of equal rights—the men who glory in the laith that merit makes the man, to be called upon to aid in placing burthei sos ig uominy on the heads of men too intolerable to be borne, and then to aid in prosecuting them with worse if they resist * Are you ready for concealment —for social inquisi tion and espionage who used to glory at every corner of the street, that Democracy had no concealments from the public eye—no use for mum candidates or a muzzled press ? ) Where now is our and your once proud boast j that 4 no erior is dangerous when reason is j left free to combat it ?’ This whole thing, so far as we have been perm tted to see it. looks 60 monstrous in a moral point of view that sometimes we flatter ourselves that Southern Know Nothings, particularly that Democrats among them, conceal a profound stroke of policy for the interests of the South I in the course they seem to have adopted. 44 It is as sure as the day of doom, that the disfranchisement of’foreign born citizens or disqualifications imposed upon them on account of religion, must bring the Legisla. tures of the States in violent collision with the Supreme Court; and after that will come the horrors of a bloody civil war No man who knows the South, for a moment distrusts her conservative, magnanimous mind, so far as to fear any probability that the bitter spirit of persecution lor conscience sake, or for the sake of any thing else, can obtain a footing here. The fury of this uew religious and social war must break upon the North. Then tiie mass of those men now devoted to the taboo are to be found, and the devisers of this scheme of degradation and outrage will be the first to eat the bittei fruits of it. Then will there be a truce to anti slavery rage and aggression. The neck veins of oth ers besides men South of the Potomac, will suddenly appear to be rather exposed for. comfort; and even the Yankee capacity naif versatility be.a. little overtaxed in caring for two social was.- *We sav we sometimes thi 11k that Soijtlier.fi ,Knpw-Nothings might have intended by their encouragement of their party something like this. Whether they did or not, however, it is none the less inevitable in our judgment that so far ns the Northern States are interested, that this is to be the grand finale of new light Aineri canisin.’ Hut, will the party respond to the enquiries that the Constitutionalist and ev ery other Democratic press are addressing to the 4 Secret Order Will we be allowed to canvass the claims of the new party, to our respect, <and support if you will,) by having submitted to our reason, patriotism and sense of public duty the claims ot the Know Nothing party after an authoritative expose of them ? This must come sooner or later, and the success of those whose only security is in their cqncealmeut will only hasten this consummation.” The Foreign News. 4. On our first page,” says the Savannah jYcws, 44 will be found the telegraphic ac counts of the news by the Atlantic For several di ys past much anxiety lias been manifested, especially in commercial circles j for the reeeipt of the advices dtle by this steamer The state Os uncertainty in which European affairs was left by the previous steamer, rendered it impossible to form any satialactory opinion in regard to the probable course of events. Even the death of the Em peror Nicholas needed positive confirmation, while (if a fact) no intimation was given of the probable effeot of that event upon the political and commercial world. The ex pected news was therefore of unusual impor tance, and was looked for with more than ordinary anxiety. At length we have a tel egraphic synopfi* confirming the death of Nicholas, and announcing the accession of hi? son Alexander to the Imperial throne, who goes into power pledged to adhere to the policy of his father. >. We regard the news as by no means in dicative of peace. Ou the contrary, unless the Vienna Conference should succeed in giving some now phase to the present nspect of affairs, wo are disposed to regard the ac cession of a young Prince to the Russian throne—pledged ai lie is to the traditional policy of the Empire, and ambitious ns he no doubt will bo to establish his own pojiu larity.—as promising’ a more vigorous and obstiuate resistance to tho Allies than wc have yet keen. It will be easier for the new Czar to lead the national enthusiasm iu the prosecution of the war begun by his father, than it might be to establish his dyuasty iu a time of peace. Tho instructions of Alex ander 10 Gortschakoff indicate that he is determined to innku no abatement in tho de mands of’ iloseia, whilo the orders of the’ French and English Governments to their Gimuruls in the Crimea, show that they look to their armies, and not lu the Vicuna Con ference, for-a settlement of the ddliculty It is evideut that the war which has had so de pressing an effect upon the commerce of the world is not yet Ht an end. But the spring is approaching, when the tatu quo state bf things cannot longer exist. The spirit of itidoontable courage uud dogged resistance which has kept the belligerents in thooamps and tents ot the Crimea, during the inclem ent winter, will urge thorn to desperate activity when the spring opeus.

His politics are uncertain, and even his exis tence is doubted in many parts of the co.un try. At the north it is believed by some persons that Jenkins is a phantom that ap pears to the people of Georgia regularly just before every election. By soino lie is sup po*ed to be the same as the Flying Dutch man, others consider him identical with the Wandering Jew, but all agree that there is something mysterious about him. Probably | many of the superstitious and ghostly assi -1 ciations connected witli the name of Mr Jenkins arises from the fact that he once run for a high office on the same ticket with a dead man, and if we rightly remember, the dead man bent him in the race. How ever that may be, the raoe of Webster and Jenkins through Georgia has always been regarded as a very mysterious ass air, and among superstitious people has connected the name of Jeukins with ghostly andsuper ’ natural attributes. Our neighbors of the | Recoider no doubt believe, that with a word, Jenkins could set the wiregrass and the pine woods in a blaze, and if it were necessary he could set Flint River on fire Our contem poraiy of tho Journal A Messenger thinks that Jenkins alone, •• can give a zest to liis revenge” upon I lie present Governor, nnd j I the editor of the Atlanta Republican believes | j that Jenkins can kindle a fire on the ranun- | ! tains which all of Overby’s Oold water can- . i not quench.
