Hmts flttfr Btntind. ~ . COLUMBUS, GEORGIA- FRIDAY MORNINO, OCT. 5, 1855. Muscogee Couuty Election. The result of the e’ectioa in Musoogee county, not withstanding the defeat of the Democratic and anti* Know Nothing ticket, is a subjeot of sincere congratu lation to the friends of civil- and religious freedom.— | Four months ago the Kuow Nothings claimed the county by 700 majority, and at the late Mass Meeting at Macon a banner was caatried in the procession on which was inscribed “set down Muscogee 400 majori ty.By reference to the official returns of the vote of the county it will be seen that the Know Nothing majority for Governor is only 240 ; for Congressman 167 ; for Senator 269—average majority 228. This is a majority not to be crowed over, and though the ■ b’boys of the party held a street jubilee in a small way during the small hours of the night of election, we be lieve the old men of the party arc satisfied to drop the subjeot. A few more such, victories would be equiva lent to a defeat. It is known that the last legislature divided the coun ty of Muscogee and cut off a democratic majority of some 150 votes into the county of Chattahoochee. — Dating the last election Jenkins carried the county of old Muscogee by 68 votes. In the late election Chat tahoochee gave a majority for Johuson of 150 votes. Subtract this amount f.0m'228, the*average majority of the Know Nothing- in Muscogee, and it will leave on ly a majority of 78 votes m old Muscogee.* It will thu6 be Been that the Know Nothing gain in Musoogee county as it stood two years ago is just 10 votes ! and we can count that many foreigners who voted the Ame rican^ picket. The public will agree with us that it was profuse waste to carry a cannon all the way to Macon to hurrah over such a victory ! But again. Colquitt received only 912 votes in the county of Muscogee (embraoing Chattahoochee] two years ago. Iu nearly the same territory, Crawford re ceived 1046 votes. The Democratio and anti-Know Nothing Party, instead of losing in Musoogee county proper, have actually added 134 votes to their poll in 1853, taking Crawford and Colquitt’s vote as a criterion of the strength of the two parties. When it is considered that the Know Nothings stole a march upon the Democracy iu the December eleotion and got possession of the city government and there by of a large amount of patronage, we think the De luocrats and anti-Know Nothings of the State will agree with us in the belief tbat the party in Muscogee has done its whole doty. Our candidates nobly redeemed the trust reposed in them and though they were van quished in the fight, they fell with their feet to the foe. Let the party rally for the December elections. Mus cogee must yet be redeemed. ♦A tier of lots was taken from Marion and added to Chattahoochee which gave the county a few democratic votes in the last election. The Governor’s Election. Full returns have been received from 32 counties which give Johnson a dear majority over Andrews of 1,529 votes. These returns embrace all those counties in which there are cities. Telegraphio despatches aud reported majorities have been received from 44 other counties. Johnson carries 25 of them and Andrews carries 19 of them. In these last counties the John sou majorities are 4,508 and the Andrews majorities are 2,490. Clear majority for Johnson in 76 Bounties 3, 547 over Andrews. Overby’s vote is only given in 25 counties, and is 2,192 At this ratio his vote will be 10,000, but we have no idea he will get the half of it as his strong holds have been heard from. We still believe John son will be elected by the people. The telegraphic despatches are so inaouraU* that we will not oumber our columns further with them except when complete returns are*given. Fourth District.—The contest in this Congression al District between Warner and Hill is close. In our opinion 20 votes will cover the majority. All the coun ties save Meriwether and Heard are heard from—War ner is ahead about 54 votes. —Atlanta Examiner. Second Congressional District. 1 Crawford’s Majorities. Hawkins’ Majorities.

In the meantime, I should wish to know if I am too “arrogant and presumptuous,” when I ask liiin to point out the line or part of my letter which indicates, that “the faith of Catliolics requires them to give their allegiance to the Pope of Rome, and to withhold it from the Gov j eminent under which, they live.” I deny that the Catho ■ lies of this country owe any “political allegiance to the Pope of Rome,” and I assert, as he knows is true, that there is not a line or word in my letter to him, which “m ----dicaie s” that they owe to the Pope of Rome any political allegiance whatever. This is one “cut out of the whole cloth,” and made up to suit the market. Is Ibis the first effort of the editor at making bis “meat” out of me ; and does he think, by this calumny on Catholics, to justify his party for their league against the Cathulio faith and Church ? lie pretends that I “utter, and that I know I uttar a vile aud unmitigated slander,” when 1 represent Know Nothingism as “a secret and organized opposition to the Catholic faith and Church.” About any other kind of Kuow Nothingism than this, I have not said a word, and if he has no part with this kind of Know Nothingism, he has no right to take exception to what I have said. It is only to this kind that I have objected, and if this kind be a non-existence , my remarks fell harmless in the air. I believed such a conspiracy to ex ist, and, as those engaged in it were bound by oaths to seeresy, 1 had no right to credit a thousand denials that such was not the fact, and could not credit such denials, in face of the oaths which had been published, and even recognized as the true oaths, by some who had taken them. But, time after time, have Catholics, who have no secret oreed, and who are bound to profess their faith openly, declared that they owe and pay no civil or political alle giance to the Pope of Rome; that their allegiance to him is purely spiritual, as to the head of their Church ; and that tlieir true civil allegiance is due and paid to the gov ernment under which they live. Catholics can have no possible interest to act with du plicity iu this or any other question of their religion They expect and receive nothing from the Pope of Rome. po make them sacrifice truth, conscience and their couutiy. Asa man, the Pope is to them of no more importance than any other man, that they should wish to extend his temporal power; and as head of the Church, all the tem i poral power that is necessary, he enjoys in his small pos sessions, which leave him free from subjection to any tem poral ruler or government, and able to communicate, un trammeled, with every portion of the Church. The Popes themselves, in their palmiest days, and when their influ ence was greatest, never desired nor labored for the ex tension-of their temporal possessions. And even against Catholic princes and Catholic armies, they sometimes bad to contend for the preservation or recovery of portions of their very limited territni'es. It is theu very unjust to be ever repeating, as those .ostile to our faith and Church are frequently doing, thi charge of a waut of fidelity to the country and government, on the part of Catliolics whose words aud acts have uniformly manifested a fidelity as true and trustworthy as that of any other class of citi zens. The Catholic Church is no newly devised religion It has now been in existence for over eighteen hundred years, and Catholics in every part of the world, in every i country and clime, and living under every form of gov j ernment, have continued to recognize the same dogma of i the Pope’s spiritual supremacy, without supposing that | this, in any way, interfered with their civil allegiance to their respective governments or countries, as citizens. It is very strange, while any shade of sectarianism, or even nothingarianism, ia considered no objection to a man in this country, and quite compatible with the fidelity of citi zenship, the first and oldest creed, the ehureh and faith which are identified with the history of Christendom from the days of the Redeemer; which alone have, under the banner of the cross, rallied all the nations ever converted to Christianity; which, amid the deluge of barbarism that submerged the ancieut Roman civilization, have been the ark of safety for the destinies of our race both in time and eternity; which even now counts two hundred millions of adherents; which, alone, amid the uncertainties of specu lations and*opinions, the flow and ebb of errors, symbolize the unity of truth and the abiding presence of God amongst men; that this church aDd faith should be here denied, despised and proscribed, and represented as incompatible with Republican institutions; as if the church and religion of Christ must not necessarily be compatible with any and every legitimate form of government; for He said: ““My ! Kingdom is not of this world.” Treason. —Kendall (of the New Orleans Picayune) writes I home that the ladies in waiting upoo Victoria at Paris, were “a distressingly homely set,” nor does the profane Re publican treat royalty any better. Listen to his description offthe Princes Royal of England: “She is a fat, chabby and coarse specimen of a girl, a homely likeness of her mother, who never set up any pretensions to beauty that I am aware oj .'** X rasas. The address of the Committee of the State Conven tion of Missouri commends itself to every candid mind. The production of men occupying the highest positions, socially and politically, in Missouri, it deals with the quee* tion of slavery in Kansas calmly and with consummate ability. * j The committee first explains the iuterc-st which Mieaou- , ri has in the decision of this contest in favor of slavery. | “An idea has, to some extent, prevailed abroad, that | Missouri contained but a very small slave population, and j that the permanence of this institution here was threaten ed by the existence of at least a respectable minority of her citizens, ready and anxious to abolish it, aud that on ly a slight external pressure was necessary to accomplish this purpose. We regret tbat this opinion has, to some extent, received countenance from the publication and pa tronage of journals in our commercial metropolis, evi dently aiming at such a result. Without, however, go ing iuto any explanation of political parties here, which would be eutirely foreign to our purpose, we think it pro per to state that the idea above alluded to is unfounded, and that no respectable party can be found outside ot St. Louis, prepared to embark in any such schemes. In that city, constituting the great outlet of our commerce as well as that of several other States and Territories, it will not seem surprising, that its heterogeneous popula tion should furnish a foothold for the wildest and most visionary projects, St. Louis was, however, represented in our convention ; and it is not thought unwarrantable to assume that the resolutions adopted by this body have received the cordial approbation of a large and influen tial portion of our citizens. Other counties besides St. Louis, outside of the district to which our observations have been principally directed, were also represented by delegates ; and had not the season of the year, the short notice of its intended session, aud the locality where the convention was held—remote from the centre of the State, prevented, we doubt not that delegates from every county in the State would have been in attendance. In deed, a portion of the Upper Mississippi and Lower Mis* sissippi counties are as deeply, though less directly, inter ested in this question, as any part of this State ; and their citizens are known to accord most heartily in the senti meDts and actions of Western Missouri. Even in the Southwest part of our State, from the Osage to the bor ders of Arkansas, where there are but few slaves, the proceedings of public meetings indioate the entire and active sympathy of their people. From the general tone ot the public press throughout the State, a similar infer ence is deducible ; and, we feel warranted in asserting a very general, if not unanimous concurrence in the prin ciples adopted'by the Lexington convention. Those prin ciples are embodied in a series of resolutions appended to this address, and which, we are happy to say, were adopted with entire unanimity by a body representing every shade of political opinion to be found in the interi or of our State. These facts are conclusive of the eon- I dition of public sentiment in Missouri. Tho probabilities ■ of changes here iu reference to the question of slavery ( are not essentially different from what they ore in Ten nessee, or Virginia, or Kentucky. In relation to num bers, a reference to the census shows that Missouri con tains double the number ot Arkansas, nearly double the number of Texas, and about an equal number with Ma ryland.” They go on to explain the character of the inhabitants sent iuto Kansas for the purpose of making it free soil by the Northern Aid Societies. “To call these people emigrants is a sheer perversion of language. They are not sent to cultivate the soil, to bet ter their social condition, to add to their individual com ferts or the aggregate wealth df the nation. They do not move from choice or taste, or from any motive affect ing, or supposed to affect, themselves or their families.— They have none of the marks of the old pioneers, who cut down the forests of Kentucky, Ohio and Indiana, or levelled the cauebrakes of Tennessee and Mississippi, or broke up tho plains of Illinois and Missouri. They are mostly ignorant of agriculture ; picked up in cities or vil lages, they of course have no experience as farmers, and if left to their unaided resources—if not clothed and fed by tho same power which has affected their transporta tion—they would starve or freeze. They are hirelings— an army of hirelings recruited aud shipped indirectly by a (Sovereign State of this Union, to make war upou an in stitution dow existing in the Territory to which they are transplanted, and thence to inflict a fatal blow upon the resources, the prosperity and the peace of a neighboring State. They are military colouits, planted by a State government to subdue a Territory opened to settlement by Congress, and take exclusive possession thereof. In addition to that esprit du corps which of necessity per vades such an organization, they have, in caramon, a reckless and desperate fanaticism which teaches them that slavery is a sin, and that they are doing God’s service in hastening its destruction. They have been picked and culled from the ignorant masses, which Old England and New England negro philanthropy has stirred up and aroused to madness on this topic, and have been selected with reference to their views on this topic alone. They are men with a single idea ; and to carry out this they have been instructed and taught to 4 disregard the laws of God and man ; to consider bloodshed and arson, insur rection, destruction of property, or servile war, as the merest trifles, compared with the glory and honor of se ducing a single slave from his master, or harboring and protecting the thief who has carried him off. “That such a population would be fatal to the peace and security of the neighboring State of Missouri, and imme diate destruction of such owners of slaves as had already moved to the Territory of Kansas, is too clear to admit of argument. A horde of our western savages, with avowed purposes of destruction to the white race would bejess formidable neighbors.” Colonization by such settlers, threatened the State of Missouri with consequences of the most serious charac ter. The committes examine at leDgth the unconstitu* tionality and danger of these steps, and conclude their summing up thus : “We conclude, then, that this irruption upon Kansas by Emigrant Aid Societies and Kansas Leagues, under the patronage of the Massachusetts Legislature is to be regarded in no other light than anew phase of abolition ism, more practical in its aims, and therefore more dam gerous, than any form it has yet assumed. We have shown it to be at variance with fthe true intent of the act of Congress, by which the Territory was opened to settlement at variance with the spirit of the Constitution of the U. S., and with the institutions of the Territory al. ready recognized by law, totally destructive of that fellow ship and good feeling which should exist among citizens of confederated States ; ruinous to the security, peace, and pro sperity of a neighboring State; unprecedented in our political annals up td this date, and pregnant with the most disastrous consequences to the harmony and r stability of the Union. Thus far its purposes have been defeated ; but renewed efforts are threatened. Political j conventions at the North and North west have deuiared | for the repeal of the Kansas-Nebraska law, and antioi- j | pating a failure in this direction are stimulating th* anti- j ! slavery sentiments to fresh exertion Jor sboiitioaizing j ’ Kansas after the Massachusetts fashion. |** We have discharged our duty in declaring the light in j which sr.ch demonstrations are viewed here, and our firm •; belief of the spirit by which they will be met. If civil war j ! and ultimate disunion are desired, a renewal of these es- • : forts will be admirably adapted to such purposes. Mis ; souri has taken her position in the resolutions adopted by : | the Lexington convention, and from that position she will ; Dot be likely to recede. It is based upon the Constitution; upon justice and equality of rights among the States.— What she has done, and what she is still prepared to do, is in self-defence and for self-preservation; and from these duties she will hardly be expected to shrink. With her everything i6 at st3ko—the security of a large slave pro perty, the prosperity of her citizens, and their exemption from perpetual agitation and border feuds; whilst the ! emissaries of abolition are pursuing a phantom—an ab~ ! straction which, if realized, could add nothing to their ! possessions or happiness, and would be productive es de- i eided injury to tbe race for whose benefit they profess to labor.” i Nothing can be more dignified and manly than the tone of this address. It nobly vindicates Missouri hem the foul charges mad® against her- At the Same time it trowi the determination Bot to •obm it to the planting of an Abolition State upon her border. If the South fail to stand by that gollant State in this resolve, it will prove itaelf recreant to every sanaatiott of honor and fidelity. —Journal $ Meat, VOTE FOE GOVERNOR IMS.

TOBACCO MADE USEFUL. Nothing was made in vain. Even for tobacco, use has at last been discovered. It has been tried in various ways hitherto, with a laudable desire, no doubt, to demonstrate its utility, but the results have been any thing but satisfactory. It has been chewed, it has been smoked, it has been snuffed, but it has proved, in each of these forms, an intol erable nuisance. But the problem has been solved, and tobacco made useful, as w ill be seen by the following com munication, widen we clip from the Bugle , pub lished at Salem, Ohio: Tije Borer.-—“I noticed lately in the Bugle a statement respecting the injury done to peach trees in some neighborhoods by a species of worm or borer. I was reminded by* it of a remedy for the evil, which Samuel Wood, of Jefferson County, Ohio, informed me of many years since, and which I used, as I believe, successfully. It is to apply tobacco annually to the trunk of the tree by tying a portion of the dried leaves around, it six inch es or such a matter from the surface , or by placing it in the fork of the tree , if that be near the ground. Friend Wood told me that while his neighbor’s trees were greatly injured, and such of his owh as he left unprotected were attacked and died, this remedy applied in the spring was a complete pro tection to a flourishing orchard which lie pointed out to me. If the invasion of our fruit trees by this enemy could be made the means of diverting the weed from the mouths of the people, it might come to be ranked a blessing instead of a nuisance. A.
