At this rate of develop ment there is certainly no danger of foreigner** over running the South. A common sense view of the ques tion will relievo it of all danger. The great mass ot the 306,514 foreigners, resident at the South, are grown men .mid women, and, under the operation of natura 1 instincts, common aliko to natives and foreigners, wil contract matrimonial alliances, and before they hav’ “been in the country long enough to be naturalized wil add as many natives to the family as there are foreign trs in it. Though Paddy and Judy may be foreigner themselves, they bave a wondeful facility, when arrive in America, of adding to the native population We eaunot now take time to refer to census tabieß to verify our statistics, but we the assertion tha 1 every foreigner who lands upon our shores doubles in ten years the native population by that most approved method of making Americans—the process of genera tion. It will thus been seen that every foreign immi grant actually in the long run increases the number of natives, as compared with the foreign born, citizens There is, therefore, no earthly danger from foreign im migration. Know Nothing orators mystify the subjeol by leaving out of their calculations this beautiful process of nature for increasing the native population and by forgetting al so that the foreigners can die. The laws which govern births and deaths are objects of prime importance in all calculations involving the increase or decrease of popu lation. It is attributable to these laws alone that the native born population to-day is greater in proportion than it ever was since the 4th July, 1776, notwithstand ing the immense immigration of foreigners since 1844. There is, however, a dread among some old fogies that all our lands will bo taken up in a few years by for eign immigrants and that their grand children will find it impossible to procure farms. They forget that the valley of the Mississippi alone can produce food for six ’ hundred milliono of people and that there is yet a con tinent to bo occupied by the Anglo Saxon and to be blessed with republican institutions. The people of the United States are yet in their infancy. Virginia and New York arc larger than all Great Brittan and Ire land, and vet our whole population is considerably less than now live in comfort upon those Islands, notwith standing the wretched system of laws by which they are governed. When the population of the United Stales has reached one hundred millions and wo take rank as the first nation on the earth ; when the Ameri can flag floats the highest under heaven 5 when our Government will be able to meet the combined armies and navies of the world, and to give the law to t.ll the nations of the earth, it will be time enough to consider the policy of checking the sources of our power and greatness by cutting offthe supplies of population. It is simply ridiculous for us with a teriitory capable of supporting hundreds of millions of people, to be con tent with a population of 20,000,000. Why Austria, which Mr Webster styled “a mere patch upon the earth’s surface,” when compared with our magnificent domain, sustains a population of 36,000,000 of people. Shall we be oontent with less ? The Dutch have taken Holland. There is about as much sense in this caption as there | is in the cry that foreigners rule America. A man j who has renounced all foreign allegiance and taken an ! oath to support the constitution of the United States— : who has invested his fortune in lands and negroes among us—who has a family growing up around him is as much a citizen as if ho were “to the manner born.” 110 has been no regarded by our fathers. Washing ton employed such men in the army and navy, appoint ed them to Cabinet offices, and sent them as Ministers to foreign courts. Are we better patriots or wiser stateamen thau Washington J But bow many adopted citizens hold office in the United States ‘i llow many in Georgia? V our Governor, your Judges, yourlegts Jators, are all native born oitizens. Why then all this noise about Americans ruling America ? Why raise fraternal strife at home about a supposed evil when the Union of the South is essential to the safety of the South against the wicked and unconstitutional machi nations of native abolitionists? Divide and oonqer is the policy of our enemies and for this purpose this apple o( ; discord was -thrown to Southern politicians by the free- i soilers of the North. We have no interest in the is ! sues presented by Know Nothingism. Proscription for Religions Sake. —The school 00m I mittee of Louisville, by a vote of seven to live, have I dismissed nine of the teachers in the public schools, i suspected of Catholio proclivities. Tho teachers were i worthy, experienced iu the profession, and were highly j esteemed. Among them were several ladits. Avery i praiseworthy act of the school committee, to be sure ! ; Although “worthy, experienced in their profession, and highly esteemed,’’ what right have those humble teachers to “worship God according to the dictates of their own conscience ?” Truly wo have fallen upon strange times. Political Aspect of the next Congress. —The New : York Post makes a critical analysis of the i* litieal as- I pect of the next Congress, recognizing Nebraska and ! anti Nebraska as the only party distinction that can be drawn. According to its summing up the Senate will stand’Nebraska 40, Anti-Nebraska 22, and the House Nebraska 106, Anti-Nebraska 128. It will thus be Been that the Post, with all its strong Ami-Neb. aska leefing, only claims a majority 22 in the House. This majority might prove all sufficient to defeat the Ne braska bill wt-rc it now to be brought forward as anew measure, but the attempt to repeal it is a difforeat quts ti>n, and upon that issue tbe Post will find it d-ffieuit, we think impospibk', to obtain the vote its analysis indicates. A sufficient number of those whom it correctly ranks as Aoti-Nebraakiiea will be found opposed to increasing the sectional excitement by voting for its repeal, ano th® measure failing this veartiie agitation will have warn itself oot before a new’ Congress j# ejected. Mistakes, or Misstatements, or Misrepresenta- | turns ?— Hon. Willis A. Hawkins. When a candidate appears before the people for the high office of Representative in Congress it is presu med that be is at least a truth teller. We must char itably conclude, therefore, that Hou. illis A. Hawkins is not posted iu the current political history of the times and that tbe gross misstatement of facts in which he habitually indulges is the result of natural Know Noth iugim. The editor of the South’ Wcstern\News notes the following mistakes made by tho candidate of the Know Nothings in a speech delivered at Vienna, Dooly i Connty, on the Ist iust. let. He said “Governor Johnson had declined open discusssiou.’’ This is uDtrue. Governor Johnson has invited hie competitor Garnett Andrews, to canvass the ; State with him. 1 2d. He said “that the Democracy eleoted John P. i Hale to the Senate.” This is untrue. Johu P. Hale was elected first to the Senate by a fusiou of Whigs and Abolitionists over a regularly nominated democratic candidate ; and he owes his last election exclusively to the Know Nothinge. 3d. He said “that of the 44 Northern Democrats who voted for tho Nebraska Kansas Bill, only 6 were re elected. Tho returns show that there are 14 Northern Democrats already elected to tbe House who were sup porters of the Bill. 4th. He said that “the law requiring 14 years resi dence as a preliminary to naturalization was passed du ring the administration of Washington.” This is too bad. The first law on the subject of naturalization, passed under W’ashington’s administration, required a residence of only two years ; it waa afterwards chan ged to five years ; and thus it stood until old John Adam 6 and the Federalists changed it to 14 years.— Ae soon, however, as Mr. Jefferson and the Republi cans got into power tho term was shortened to 5 years, and there it baa stood until the present day. Mr. llawkioa is inexcusable for this palpable blun der. A reference to the laws of the of the United Staten would have saved him from the mortification of this exposure of his ignorance. “After the speeches and barbecue were finished, says the Ncios } thirteeu gentlemen, whose names are annex ed, asked us to publish to the world, that their connec tion with the Know Nothing Order had forever ceased. Messrs. Wm. Bryon, James Cobb, Simpson Gunter, Jesso Gilbert, J. J. Collier, John Gilbert, Reuben Blanchard, John J. Royals, Henry Summerford, W. D. Mitchell, Benj. F. Pette, A. B. Hamilton, Henry Rutland.” Know Nothing Leaders. Ae time rolls on, the people are being made ac quainted with the real leaders of the Know Nothing •Party. They will be found to consist in general of old spavined and broken down leaders of the Democratic and Whig parties, who have lost position with the peo ple, and are now trying to make themselves leaders in anew organization, or ambitious young men who are not content to remain at Jetico until their beards grow. 1 la Georgia, there are Frank Cone, and Garnett | Andrews, both discontented Democrats, who never j could rise higher iu the Democratic Party, than a Judge j 6hip of tltc Superior Court. They now hope the one Ito be Governor and the other Judge,of tho Supreme Court. There, also, is E. A. Nibet, a defeated Whig candidate for Judge of the Supreme Court. There are others here at home, but it is useless to name them,— In Alabama, there is Jere Clemens, who bargained with the Whigs and was elected Senator. One term satisfied the Democracy that he would not do to trust and he was superseded by Benjamin Fitzpatrick. He now attempts to retaliate by joining the Know Noth ings. There is, also, George D. Shortridge, an ambi- I tiou young man who thought he had moulded long ■ enough on the Circuit Bench, and seeing no chauce for i further promotion for a long time to come, iu the De j mocratio party, caught at the doubtful chance of being i Govornor which tee Know Nothings held out to him, i and has paid the penalty of his rashness by being must j gloriously beaten. In Tennessee, we bave the aspiring young Donelsou, : who imagined that because he was named Andrew ! Jackson, any office he chose to claim was his by divine ! right. He aspired to a foreign Mission, and beeause he j did not get it, he too, turned Know Nothing, and de | nounces, with the choicest billingsgate, the party of ! which his adopted father was the peculiar idol. ! In California, there is Foote who sold out the party : that elected him to the Senate and yet failed to secure the confidence of the opposition. He left Missisippi ia disgust, and hopes to retrieve hie fallen fortunes iu the 2olden West by turning Know Nothing. 110 can at least find free use of his slanderous tongue and graitfy his malignant reveugo by abusing the party ho has betrayed. TheGe are a sample of Know Nothing leaders. Nice specimens, are they not, of the Americau people whose exclusive lenders they affect to be ? Now look at home in each county and say are not these larger fish a very fair specimen of the smaller fry who lu.ve, for the last three months 6\varmcd around the gases of the Council Chambers of the Know Noth ings T They had no sympathy for the principles of the paily, miscalled American, until they thought it had a ; majority. Where the oareas is, there will the buzzards j be gathered together. Democratic Meeting in Clay County. • At a meeting of the Democratic party held at Fort Gaines on tbe 7th inst., to nominate candidates for the , Legislature for Clay County—James L. Sweet was ! called to preside, and Q. L. C. Franklin chosen to act as Secretary. On motion of Dr. Burnett, a Committee of five from each District was appointed by the Chairman to i select candidates—who, after retiring and consulting, i presented the following Resolutions : Resolved, That this meeting hereby endorses the nrinci- ; pies laid down by the Democratic Convention which met in Milledeeville on the sth June last, as the only principles upon ichich the rights of the States can be preserved or the Union of the States maintained. 2. Resolved, That we pledge our efforts to secure the election of H. V. Johnson, the nominee of'that Conven- j ! tion tor the office of Governor and, also the election of | : Bon. Martin J. Cfawlord, the Democratic nominee for j Congress; and of May. Aiex. A. Alien, the nominee of i the same party for Judge of the S. W. Circuit, Resolved further, That we will spare no pains, honora bly used’in trying to elect by a triumphant majority, Dr. | B- F. Adams, whom vve have, this day, nominated to rep-. ; resent this county inthc Senatorial branch ot our approach j ing State Legislature; and also Dahiei M. Bruner, the can- j didate nominated by us to represent us in the House of j Representatives of our Gen'l Assembly. The candidates nominated oame forward, accepted | the nomination and defined their positions satisfactorily ‘ to the meeting. Judge Franklin being loudly called for, responded j iu a few brief remarks, upon the topics of the times — after which it was resolved to request tbe Times $ ‘ Sentinel and the Albany Pvtrioi to publish the pro- ! eeedings of the meeting——which v.as then adjourned to meet at the Ballot Box od tbe first Monday in Oc tober next.

Percy Walker, K. N., is olected in the first district. Hie majority over James Stallworth, Dem., is not as certained. Eli S. Shorter, deni., is eleoted in the second Dis trict. His majority over J. C. Alford K. N. is about 1500. There is a clear gain of over 1,000 votes ! in this District. James F. Dowdell, dem., is elected in the third District. His majority over Thomas H. Watts K. N., is 542. In this District there is a clear gain for the Democracy of over 2,000 votes. James R. Smith, K. N., is re elected to Congress in the fourth District. Hia majoruy over Sydenham Moore, dem., is not ascertained. Geo. S. Houston, dem., is re-elected iu the fifth District by the usual largo Democratic majority. He | bad no opposition. j W. R. W. Cobb, dem., is ro-elected in the 6th District over Adams Dem. The democracy have gaiued in this District. Sampson W. Harris, dem., is re-elected iu the 7th District over Martin, Know Nothing, by a very large majority. The returns are not complete.— The following majorities for Harris will show tho way the tide runs. Randoldh 415, Coosa 455, Benton 1012 Gubernatorial. —John Anthony Winston, the Dem ocratic candidate for Governor, runs considerably ahead of his ticket. In the second district his majority is | ascertained to be not less than 3500 votes. This is a ! clear gain of 3,000. Ilis gain in the third district is j about the same. In North Alabama he has gained, it i is believed, on the usual large Democratic majorities.— j He will beat Geo. I). Shortridge, his K. N. oompetit ! or, not less than 10,000 votes. i Legislative . —Both the Senate and House of Rep resentatives are largely Democratic. This secures the election of a Democratic Senator to the United States. The victory is complete. Sam will never be called on to stand up again in Alabama. After this sitting down it is believed that he will keep his seat for all time to come. I Defeat of Jere Clemens.—lt is with peculiar plea ; sure that wo announce the defeat of this Democratic j renegade. He was a candidate for the Legislature in ] Madison county. The following is the vote : Madison. —For State Senate, Ackliu 1077, Fleming I 850. For Representatives, Haden 1212, Chapman | 1082, Clemeus 424. Does any one blame Mr, Pierce 1 for refusing him a foreign mission after this test of his \ standing at home ? North Carolina Elections. j The Democrats have eleoted five Congressmen and ! the Kuow Nothings three, provided Shaw, dem., is bea i teD, of which there is still some doubt. Tennessee Elections. • There are still three counties to hear from. They j will increase the Democratic majority. It is believed I that tho Democrats have gaiuod two members of Con- I gross.

Tho Know Nothings claim Kentucky, but the . telegraphic accounts never go out of Louisville. We prefer to wait for the wagon before wo surrender eveu the old Whig State of Kentucky to the Know Nothings. Kentucky. Louisville, Aug. 8. The entire American ticket in Kentucky has been elec i ted. The fight at Louisville, between the Americans and ! Irish, was horrible. Twenty were killed, of whom three -j were Americans, and twelve houses burnt. Parts of the j dead bodies were drawn out from the ruins. | The Democratic Meeting in Pulaski.— At the • Democratic meeting on Saturday 18st, Thomas B. How* ! ell Eeq., was nominated to represent tho Democratic j party of Pulaski in the Senate, and Wright W. Har- I rell Esq., in the House of Representatives. Hon. Martin J.

This makes the fourth time that we have j attempted to correct the mischief likely to result from ! what may now be fairly chargeable to wilful misrepre- i sentation. Major William 11. Polk is not a member of the Know Nothing order. He was Dot a candidate for Congress. He does not reside iu the same district with Hou. Samuel A. Smith.

Porter, Secretary. published by request. j The present Canvass—The Sons of Teulperauce —How will they Act ? j We have long talked of Prohibition and expressed the I opinion that Moral Suasion tvould not accomplish all j that we wished. We therefore sought legal interposition. ; That we might obtain it, our design has been to submit the I whole subject to the people. This is as it should be. Let | the sovereigns speak. In order to have the question prop | erly tested, we wish it brought to the ballot box. For years ; the friends of the Temperance cause have asked for legis- I lation in regard to the traffic in ardent spirit. The Sons of Temperance have been at some considerable expense, to | keep up Divisions, Conventions, and pay Lecturers to so | cure this important measure. We have Avatched the signs I of the times and thought that wo saw the rising star cf j hope, which wo regarded as the precursor of the opening ; day, when the people that sat in darkness should sec great i light, and the time had come—the set time to favor our ‘cause. Therefore, we, as Sons of Temperance, arose in ; our strength as one man, feeling that now is the time to j strike, and having all confidence in the purity, sobriety and ! morality of our cause, no fears were entertained in refer | euce to those who wore the “badge or emblem of our or ; der;” that if the issue should be made and the crisis arrive, j j all would show ourselves to be free and faithful and acquit j | themselves like men of Fidelity, Purity and Love. But let us recur to our action. Wo called a Convention ! some time the past year to meet at Atlanta, in February,for I the specific object of nominating a candidate lor Govern* ’ or. That Convention met, and had under consideration ! the propriety of su< ii nomination, and agreed to put out i the candidate. B. H. Overby, Esq., was chosen as our j standard bearer lor Governor. He ‘accepted the nomina* | tion. A2d Convention was called at which we confirm* |ed that nomination and endorsed the candidate. Mr. Ov j erby is fairly before the people—placed there by the Sons of Temperance. The question now comes up, will every Son do his duty] It is not expected that any one will de sert the leader of his cause, which he avows to be dear to I his heart and so vital to his country, but will standby him i and help him to achieve a glorious .victory. Consistency : | would talk thus. But, says one, I belong to the American ; party,'and am under some special obligations that I cannot j disregard: and can’nt well throw off, and there is power in the order, and may be,some loaves and fishes, or a post of honor; I want a chance. Indeed, indeed these things alter the case. Another says, 1 belong to the old school Dem ocracy, and these old lines are marks I cannot leave; and may be there is potency Jn it yet,’ and a few loaves and j fishes left. Still, A.B. is a good Temperance man, meets j often in the Division, speaks greatly in favor of the probib- j ry law, See., Sec., and wersuppose when Mr. Overby was j here, A. 8., C. I)., and the other brethren all greeted hiin ! cordially, and Mr. (), poor maul (1 mean deceived man,) I thought tic held the hand oi a brother, true and faithful, I that hoped on and hoped ever; in whose heart was rooted l and grounded the principle of temperance. But onto again I ask,how will they act— how should they act’ I think I know. Every Son of Temperance ought to ieel himself in honor bound to support Mr. Over ly, lor wo put him out, and iu that act declared we w ould vote for him. No reasonable candid man can aay other* wise, ior consistency's sake, lor the honor of the cause, tor its merit b sake, we ought to vote for Mr. Overby. Os shall Wj harb our harps upon the willowa, and bow our hee.d*, chagrined, end write the name Irhabod our own Temjieranee Hall. 1 When Mr. Ovorby addressed us here, we looked on and said we would support his hands while tha battle was going on. With strong, invincible argu ments, Mr. Overby showed the propriety and necessity of such a law, and closed by such hoart stirring appeals that ‘every Son, and many others even, felt that we would sup port him. But circumstances alter cases. “Tell it not m Gath, cor prociaini it in the stiects ot Askelou. ’ Let the rotai’er ar.d drinker laugh at us and even shame us to our free, because of the few that will identify themselves with the cause now that the issue is made.* Will you deiino your position my brethren?
