Mtny of the cit zms, of Marion county, assembled at the Court House in this place on Siturday last, in response to a previous call, to give expression ol their approbation to tlie Columbus Movement. Tho meet* ing was by calling Win. D. Eiarn, E-q., to the Chair, and r* questing Dr. Carter to act as .Secre tary. After tho orgaiiiza pui of the meeting, Dr. Je ter moved that no definite action be taken in regard to the position which the people of Marion county should take in th ; s m >verm nt—and that a committee he ap pointed to present r* solutions for our future action at an adj >urned meeting—urging as the necessity of such a course, that a large portion of the people were not prepared to act and ftbrently in the matter. His proposi tion was voted down. Joel E Rush in then offered the following resolu tion : Resolved , That we, as citizens of Marion county, i mniu illy agree and pledge our selves and our honors to ! withdraw from all other political orgatuz itions, both Whigs, Democrats Know Nothings, Anti Know Noth ings, Temperance party, and a 1 other political organi zations whatever. And we further agree to know no North, no South, no East, no West, but mutu.ily agree to firm a Constitutional R -publi -an Parry. And that tho chairman appoint a committee of twelve dis creet men, from all political pa-tits to report matter for tlie action of the meeting. And the basis of action that may be agred on by this mteting, we pledge ourselves ! to support and cariy out to the btst of our abihti< s. Dr. Jeter then inov* and as a substitute, the Demo cratic resolutions adopt'd at Milledgeville, leaving out ; all such as m ght be objected tj from party pr -j ad ice, j with the following amendment : Resolved, Th .t we will g.ve to Uersclul V John- j son, our eordi 1 support for Governor of the State of Georgia, at the ensuing Gubernatorial election. And that wo will unite as one peoj le and as one party in send i g delegates to the Congressional Convention of this j distiiet, and in nominating and electing a Senator and i Representative from this county to the next Li-g’slu ture. These resolutions were supported by Dr. Jtter, in a clear and forcible argument, proving to a deinonstrn tion that hia resolutions formed the only basis upon which the people could bo uniud. That it was the only manner in which the objects of a united party can be accomplished. That it was the only way by which a sound and reliable National party could be formed.— That it waa the only way by which Kansas could be ad mitted as a slave State, and thereby the Union be pro fit rved. Thai the formation of a party for the protection t>f the rights of the South upon any other bass was obliged of necessity to bo extremely sect’ona!—would not extend beyond the limits of our own State, and would be annihilated in the next Prtsidentiai election. Dr. Jeter was replied to by Win. B. Prjor, E?q , in his usual siylo of furious bombas', charging the resolu t ons with the alttmpt to sell out the Whig and Know No htng putties to the Democracy, denounced the Dem ocratic farty generally, and Governor Johuson, panic ulaily, &c. A vote was then taken upon the substitute, and it was rejected. E. \Y\ Miller, E*q , then scd the meeting up on the original resolutions, show ng that they wets en tirely outside of the objects of the meeting. The meeting was called to give an expression of approba tion to the proceedings ot the Columbus Temperance llail Meeting, to totm a South*rn Union party upon abasia there laid down. ‘lbis resolution proposed to form a ‘"CoOstitutional Republican Union Party,” upon the basis to bo repotted by tho committee about to be appointed by the Chairman. Mr. Miller having eonciu did his remaiks, lequts ed all who were in favor of Dr. Jeter’s resolutions to retire from tho meeting, when about one half of the meeting withdrew 5 and many who remained did so through curiosity to sec what be done, an-i to. k n > part >0 the subsequent pro- This njaay of those who d.d remain told us of the meeting. vh' ll adi’pttd the original isolation, of twelve, who r ported pr.-aru ty the crisis had arriv< and 0 people and one par unbracing the ! “ nd u separation from rll prestnt xisting National organizi lions, which resolutions were supported by a speech f. um Maik 11. Blandford, K*q., in which he gave his reasons why a Southern party should be formed, and the only reaf-ona which he gave was, that President P.erce had removed Brownsou from office, and appoint ed Reeder to ihe Govertiotship of Kansas.— Advocate of the South. Cuba and the Know Nothings. The public sentiment of the people of the Southern S'ntes is decidedly in favor of the e.ariy annexation of Cuba to the United States. Many Know Nothings participate in this sentiment. Did it never occur to iho members of the American party that their war upon catholics and foreigners, if persisted in, will eventuate in the alienation of the Creole population of the island from the United States and thus render the annexation of Cuba morally impossible ? The Creoles of Cuba are all catholics and, to u*, foreigners. Will they seek to ! annex their beautiful Island to us where they learn that | we are determined to exclude them from office on ae count of their religion? Wonder if the Northern au thors cf Koov Nothingism did not secretly hope, by meanu of the prejudices it would excite against foreign ers and catholics, to defect the annexation of Cuba to the Uni'ed States ‘ because of the existence of slavery therein ?” We notice as a significant fact that the Philadelphia Grand Council never said ‘ Cuba’’ once. The question was bt fore the country, why did they dodge it ? This in another cat in tlie botomless meal tub of Know Nothingism, which, like Pandora’s box, is lull of evil and only evil for the South. Since the foregoing was written we fell upon the fol lowing paragraph in an article in the Constitutionalist j- Republic, communicated by an Old Line Whig, which presents this subject in a vtry forcible point of view : Is not all tlie talk at. the South, of opposition to, and abuse and proscription of Catholics and foreigners, worse than tomfoolery—is it not in direct opposition to a long cherished desire <>f the South, m one particular at leas! I 1 mean the acquisition of Cuba! I should like to know how Cuba could ever be annexed to the United States, if Know Nothingt.-m were to prevail i t this country, even though Spain and Cuba, and all the * rest of mankind” were willing to it upon ‘ fair terms ’’ For Catholics of every grade are holding offices in Cuba. The Know Noth ing creed >.s, that no Catholic or foreigner shall ever hold office in our government, under any circumstances what ever ; and the members ol the Older are sworn to carry out this p/inci; le without any mental reservation whatever It is also a part of their creed that foreigners .-hall not have the r ghts ot citizenship, or be allowed to vote until they have resided in the United States 21 years. Nov/ will any Southern man, or at-y other man of common sense, sup pose lor a moment that the Cubans would e,v r consent to tie annexed to ‘his government, when it is e tabli bed, or known that th y shall be forever debarred from holding an office, so s-oon as thev enter the Union ; and that they will have to remain here 21 years before they are allowed the lights of citizenship, or the .ight to have a voice in the government ot the country, by even a vote ? No free man can suppose for a moment, that the Cubans or any other people, would consent to be annexed to us under any suck circumstances And vet they can ba annexed upon no other terms, if Know Nothing pr.nciplesprevail. Tbesue eess, then, oi Kn >w Nothmgi.-m 13 a death td >w to the an nexation of l üba, even with the consent of Spain. And, Mr. Editor, as this Order spiung up in t ; ie hot bed of Ab olitionism in the Northern Mates, does not this ‘ffeci loo!; like one of the “aims and objects and purposes” tor which it was gotten up by its originators? Speech c i the lion. A. 11. Stephens at Sparta. We learn,say a the Federal Union, that Mr. Stephens, delivered one of the ablest sp. eehes upon the prine pies of tlie so called ‘‘American” Party, that he has ever made, before a very large assemblage in Sparta on Fri day, 26th inst. We nnderstand that ha completely de molished tveiy feature of ita odious p'a form, and tha this arguments were.so convincing as to m ike several of the most iiit* iiigent a ,and honest members of the organization declare, that if his statements were hereafter verified, they would com>- out of the organization. Mr. Stephens in allusion to the Democratic Platform, we understand, referred to it in terms of high admira tion, and said he stood upon it, and carry him where it might, he would be found wi h its principles. He ufo eulogized the forty four Northern Nebraska Dem ocrats of Congress, and call and upon all to give them the most efficient support, for their noble stolid for ihe Consti tution and the rights of the people under it. When Mr. Stephens conclud>d, Mr. Thomas M. Turner offered a sei ies of resolutions in advocacy of tho doctrines of the American party. One of them we un derstand, was to the * ff ct that a majority of Foreign ers were now in the sti vice of the United Siatea gov vernrnent. We had thought that this fabrication bad b*en ffioially, and so completely disproved, that no man would hereafter dare to circulate it, in order to bolster up the weakness of a decaying party, and vve are glad that Mr. Stephens stamped it as an unqulifi-d imposition, Mr. Turner’s resolutions Were m riddled, that not a fragment was left of them. The chairman put the question as to their adoption or r< jeetion, and, upon ascertaining the vote, declared that t ley were lost. Amid the confusion of adjournment, a Know Noth ing called upon ail in favor of the resolutions to rise, and without asking those opposed to them to rise also he, to the great amusetnet of the crowd, took upon himself the powers of the chairman, and declared them adopted. But before this took | lace, the crowd wero reai ly all dispersed. We are glad to learn that Mr Stephen's speech had a powerful effect in Hancock, and that it will bo a me morable incident in the history of those who had the pleasure of hearing it. Hancock County Meeting. A meeting oft he citzens of Hancotk county, without distinction of party, wag he Id at Sparta on the22d inst. The object of tiie meeting was to appoint debga'es to a Convention to nominate a candidate for Congress in the third district upon the Platform of the Georgia De mocracy. IL>n. Linton Stephens took an acivt* part in the and liberations of the meeting. The following reso lution among others were adopted : Resolved, That wo cordially approve the political plat form made by the la e Convention at Milledgev.ile, oj the sth inst , and will co operate wit ho <t former distictions ot party, in all laudable eifu.ts to secuie the triumph of its principles. Toe action of the people of Hancock is worthy of general imtatio 1. Nothing keeps Georgia Whigs and Democrats asunder except the ambition of party leaders. We are all agreed upon principle. jflE* East Alabama Female College. —We are in re ceipt of an annual catalogue of this flourishing institu lon located at Tuskeg- e, Ala. It is under the patronage of the Baptist Church. Daring the current year there were 219 pnpilti in attendance. A Valuable Recruit.—We learn by a private kiler from Polk county that the Republican Union, of Cedar Town, heretofore a rank Know Noth ng paper which flaunted at its masthead the name of C. J. Jenkins foi Governor, has recently changed hands, and will here after be under the editorial control of 11. Fielder, Esq , 0 thorough anti Know Nothing Dimerat. The nex issue of the Union , we understand, will rsTe the name of 1!. V. Johnson its candidate Ur Gimmor.—At* ianta InUliigenar, The i harge of Disunion Renewed. While the S-'U hern Union men in this section ar* denouncing the Democratic party as the Submission p arty, the advocates of the movement in oilier parts oi the State are charging them with beiog a Disunion party. In commenting upon Governor Johnson’s Lst letter the Savannah Republican says : “It will be seen that hia Excellency, Ike G<>v. Towns, seems anxious to pr*cipitaie the horrors of disunion upon the,country. lie is already putting his house in order for that event. 5 ’ Now the truth is that the Georgia Democracy are neither submissionists nor disunionists. They stand upon the 4th reeoultion of the Georgia Platform. 1 either of the four points of that resolution are violated, the Georgia Democracy are pledged to disunion as a last resort. If tlie rights of tho South are respected by the Federal Government,tlie Georgia Democracy wiil be sub missionists as will be every ether good oit’z n.— — There is no doubt about the wisdom of their po sition. It is sufficiently sectional for ail practical purposes. While they are pledged to “the horrors of disunion” in the event of a violation of the four points of the Georgia Platform, they are in favor of a constitu tional uuion. No man can object to this position unless ; he ia a disunionis! per se , or a eubnvosionist per se.~— : Governor Johnson had nothing to do with “putting j the house (Georgia) in order.” That was done by the ■ Union Republicans in 185$. Governor Johnson stands j square footed upon the Georgia Platform. Unless the | Convention of 1850 was “anxious to precipitate tho j horrors of disunion upon the country,” then it is an out | rage upon decency for the suppoiteia of that Convention | to charge Governor Johnson with “putting his house in | order for that event.” Will the Republican answer a plain question ? Suppose Congress shall violate either of tho four points of ihe Georgia Platform, will it advo cate resistance or submission ? Governor Johnson is for resistance. So are the Georgia Democracy. So is the State, come what will. Louisiana and Georgia. At the recent Democratic State Convention of Lou'si- : ana, held at Baton Rouge, the following ti.ket for S.ate ! officers was nominated with general approval “For Governor, R. C. Wickl iTe ; Lieutenant Gover nor. C. H. Mou on ; Secretary of State, A. S. Herron • Treasurer, C. E Greneaux ; Auditor, Samml F. .Marks; Supermtedeiit of Public Education, Samuel Raid ; At torney General, E. W. Moiae. The New Orleans Bulletin (Whig) gays “this is most indubitably a strong ticket.” But the most gratifying part of the proceedings was the adoption of the “Georgia Platform,” which, though we have more than once pub lished it, deserves to be repeated in connection with this important sanction, it reads thus: “That the State of Georgia, in the judgment of th;3 Convention, will and ought to resist, even (as a last resort) to a disruption ol every tie which binds her to the Union, any action of Congress upon the subject of slavery in tie D.strict of Columbia, or in places subject to the jurisdic* turn < f Congress, incompatible wi:h the safety, domestic tranquilly, the rights and honor of the slavehokring States ; er any act suppressing the slave trade between thesiave h Idiug States ; or any refusal to admit as a State any territory hereafter applying, because of tlie existence of t-1 ivery therein ; >r any act prohibiting the introduction of slaves into the territories ol Utah and New M< xco ; or any act repealing or materially modifying the laws in for e for the recovery of fugitive slaves.’’ Upon this point the Coinmetcial Bulletin remarks : • “ * his is a rational, national, conservative profession of faith, which citizen e.n subscribe to, and the party that does not adopt it in is details, as well aa in the aggregate, cannot expect to be sustained by Southern votes.” This is the langtn&eof a Whig paper, and shows that there is, independent of any party organiz ttion, a f cling It. Louisiana, strong enough to control any tendency to mere “Unionism” at the expense of Southern rights and sifety. They have come to feel there, that there is im pending a great struggle of principles in which victory is snf ty, and defeat is both injury and dishonor.- Charles ion Mery cur First Congressional District—Alabama. The contest wnxis warm in the first district of Ala bama. Col. Stallswrrth, the Democratic nominee, takes hia position upon the Platform of the Georgia De mocracy. lie is a Southern Rights Democrat. Percy Walker, the Know Nothing notrfnee, takts position upon the Platform of the Phdtdelphiu Convention of the American party. He was a Southern Rights Democrat.

A large delegation attended tho Convention from this place, and among them are several of the leading members of the Co lumbus movement. What does this mean ? Is it up deratood that it is not necessary for a Know Nothing to quit the National American Party before he be eowuss leader in the No Party party.

A meeting of eitiz p riß of Troop eoun’y was hold ii LaGrange on the I6:h, to respond to the C< binbu Movement. After passing resolut oris heartily f*pprov ing the objects of the movement 5 and inviting the co operation of members of ail existing parties; the follow ing resolution was off.-r red by A. B Fannin 1C q , sue adooti and bv the meeting: Resolved, ‘i hat the p irnary object of this meeting is the perpetuby of the Union, for the preservaion ot our right a and interests. For the security of thi-* patiiotic aim, we pledge eo operation with constitutional organizations, 01 parties, North, South, Fast or We-t ; di-ca ding the pre judice or favoritism of past political affiliation. 1 his looks to us, like an 1 tlort to iraiisf* r the Colum bas Movement men to the Pniladelphia boards. The great mass of Know Nothings, with whom we have con versed, avow their satisfaction at the platform of prinoi pi s adopted by the Grand Council, at Philadelphia, and expresaa determina ion to adhere to the organ* ti<m. Is not this **the Constitutional orginizition,’’ ;1- luded to in Mr. Fannin's r solution, and with which the citizens of Troup “pledge co-operation ?’’ Wo suspect so. At any mte there is a wonderful similarity in “the primary objects” of the two Conventions. The Phila delphia Convention regarded “the Union of the United twites r3 the piramount political good.” “The primaly object’’ of the Tronp meeting “is the perpetuity of the ! Union.’’ Our Muscogee fusionists certainly professed a very and tier* nt Ot'ject. Tiiey sad they regarded ‘'the Un ion as secondary to the rights it was d< s gned to se cure,” and that “the primary olj-cl” of the meeting was “the protection of Southern Rights.” Ti e n spouse of Tioup is not an echo of the voice of Muscogee. Can such discordant elements b* fused be fore Bth August. There is great power, we know, in a Know Nothing bow pipe. It brought Albert Pike, of Arkansas, and Henry Wilson, of Massachusetts, chetk by jowl in the Pnd idelphia Grand Council and may reconcile the V iiion-savers of Troup and the union-haters ol Muscogee. The xperiimnt is a curious one and we will watch its progress with interest. The resuit may be expected to be announced by the D,h August. James W. linker an Abolitionist. James W. Baker, the ex-High IYnst of Know Nothingism and the leader of the order in New Fork, is an avowed Abolitionist. We make the assertion upon the authority of a speech of his made at a 1 oe nt Know Nothing council and reported in the New York Times The following is his language : “Much xoitcmi nt and bad feeing have been caused in the order in cons* quince o! the course put sued by some of our brothers upon Ihe election of Unittd *’ t tes Senator last winter, but that question is no-v se Id; and It .wever much we may admile the anti slavery vi w s < f Mr. M v, - aid, we cannot support him, h*r he is opposed <l* this Or der. Ikn w that Mr. Seward’s views up ntheSlavciv question co neide with mine, and also wnh the views ot most of >ur brethren of the Northern Stans-.*’ Now if William 11. Seward is an Abolitionist, Jam*a W. Halter is one also, for he says, “Mr. Seward’s views upon the slavery question coincide with mine, and also with the vn ws of most of our hr, thr* nos the Northern S at* s’’ Will the S >u;h be cheated into an affiliation with such a fanatical rew by the unmeaning generalities of the Philadelphia Platform ? But this extract from the speech of the ex Grand Sachem proves another thing which we l ave oyer and again asserted, namely, that the opposition to Win !1 Seward on the part of a portion of the Ntvv Yoik Know Nothings was independent of his abditiotrsm r . Baker makes this point p* rfectly char. He says: “However much we may admire the anti slavery views of Mr. Seward, we cannot support him, fur he is op posed to this order.” Now when it is remcmb that the New Yotk Know Nothings alone, of the Northern members of tin order, st>*od firmly by tin* South in the Philadelphia Grand Council, and that James W. Bak-r is regard'd as tfie soundest and most conservative of the members of she order in New Yoik, some idea may be form and of ihe feasibility of building up a national party, that shall prove Hue to the South on the slavery question, out of Know Nothing materials. The planks to be used are all rotten. Governor John sou’s Appointments. Wo s {“•publish to day a corrected list of Governor John son’s appointments in South Western Georgia.
