ATLANTA GEOIIGLA, FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL 11, 1856.' -MONDAY, AIT.IL 11, lSnll. The Squabble for the President . The Washington correspondent of the New York llcrahl who is counted first rate deiio cratic authority says : “ Within the last ten days the President im broglio here has assumed a variety of very in teresting aspects among the scene-shiftyrs ,and pij e layers of the different parties, cirques, and pspirants lor the succession. First—The intense hostility to Buchanan of l ho ihniglns. Piorce, and Hunter managers, iias ussumi-p something of the complexion of a reg ular conspiracy against the distinguished Penn sylvanian.” The writer then goes on to describe the dif ferent factions that arc at the present time ren ding and tearing in pieces the harmonious de mocracy and says: ” Meantime, they arc humbugging his Ex cellency the President without remorse. Most of Hie delegates to Cincinnati have been elect ed—a large proportion of them have the very best reasons for keeping On the right side of the administration yet a little longer. Fat of fices, here and there, may depend upon it. And so Gen. Pierce.has hoen favored with letters from a snßfcient lumber of delegates to assure him of a majority of the convention from the outset. He takes these promises in good faith, when many of them arc sheer moonshine.— Franklin Pierce may get the complimentary testimonial upon the first vote, of a pluralii,-: hut tlmn as with Van Buren in 1811, they will drop him. Th $ liana fide Pierce delegates have an inkling of this, anil their plans are arranged accordingly; first to defeat Buchanan, and, secondly, to create such an entanglement in the Convention as will compel it, as a last resort, to fail back upon the administration find tru t to luck. “ Fat offices” are the great moving as well as -liic cohesive power" of the harmonious de mocracy. Without this they would go “ whirl ing through the sky,” and headlong to perdition. Hut this load stone is constantly before their eyes, and we should not think strange, if “ as a lost resort” to retain the spoils they “ fall hack o.i the administration and trust to luck.” But from the best light m which the great harmonious can he received, we are compelled to think their days will he numbered, before the ides of March next. Tile same authority, the Herald, affected for awhile to treat the American nomination of Fillmore and Dotiel son as a trite affair, aii'd while it still opposes the American [’arty, it seems to he fearful that accessions from the Black Republicans, or the growing strength (if the party- generally will make it formidable. The sag nielit papers gen erally are singing low at the present time, f AYe find an interesting synopsis of the gen eral laws passel by the'last Legislature, in the Southern Recorder. The following are some of them ; 83. I’o reduce file number of Jurors acquired lor I 'oruiicr's inquest. [lt reduces the number of Jurors to six.] 101. To point out the mode of ascertaining the relief and rapport to which widows and I orphans are entiled out of the estates of their | deceased husbands and parents, iu eases where letters testamentary or of administration shall I be hereafter granted and for other purposes. [Tu cases where letters testamentary or ad ministration shall be hereafter granted on any estate, the Ordinary of the county, on the ap plication of the Executor, Administrator, wi dows, or person having the care of the children, I is required U> appoint live appraisers, whose | duty it shall he to a.-sess the sum necessary for | the support of the widow, or children, Ac., for the term of twelve months and to set apart | that amount in money or property. Said money or property is to he Mtcmpt from levy 1 and sale under any judgment and free from the ; control of Iho Executor or Administrator and j shall vest in the widow or children, &c., for i their liuiinlenauce. Tim appraisers are required to return to the Ordinary within three mouths, n schedule of tin- properly or amount of money set apart as aforesaid and the valuation of said properly, ns made by them and it is made the duty of tlie Ordinary to record the sumo in a book kept by him for that purpose. The appraisers are also empowered (o set apart for the use of the widow and children a sufficient amount of tlie household furniture, the titles to which shall vest in the children. When there is Imt one Justice of tlie Peace in the District, said Justice and any two free holders may oil application ol the widow or children, make the assessment and assignment of property authorized by the act of l'Boo in relation to the estates of persons, without rep resentation by Executor or Administrator.] 139. In relation to allowing Tax Collectors ail insolvent list by the Grand Juries of the several counties in this State. [The Tux Collector is required to make out a list of the insolvent tax payers in this county, with the amount due by each annexed, and to lay tlie same before the Grand Jurors enipan nelied at the second term of tlie Superior Court in each year and said Grand Jury may after examination allow the whole or such amount thereof as they may, think proper. They are also required to return the list so allowed in their general preseuHi.ents, and the same is to be entered oil the minutes of the Court. A:iy suui of money allowed by any Grand Jury to a Tax Collector i.i any other manner than that proscribed above, is declared mill and void, and said Tax Collector is required to pay over the full amount of taxes as it stands charged upon tlie hooks. Within sixty days after the a'lowance of said insolvent list the Tax Collector is required to issue execution against each insolvent tax pay er and turn (hesame over to the Sheriff, whose duty it shall he to advertise and sell said execu tions in the same manner as other Sheriffs’ sale, and to pay over the proceeds of said sale to the Treasurer of the State, and the Treasurer of the county according to the amount that may be due the State and county respectively.] 147. To authorize the Justices of the Inferi or Court in tiie several counties of this State, upon the recommendation of the Grand Juries thereof, to assess and collect a tax for the pay ment of Grand and Petit Jurors, and at their pleasure to discontinue and again reassess the same upon said recommendation. [ln addition to tlie provisions rfc'cited in the caption, it is required that the Jury and con fession fees in each ease shall be paid into the county fund to ho used for the purpose of pay ing the Jurors.] 1.59. To allow Trustees to make returns to the Court of Ordinary in certain cases and to make it their duty to do so in other eases. [Any Trustee is allowed to make a return of his actings anil doings to the Court of Ordina ry of the county in which he resides, and such reuni is to have the .same force and effect, as [ returns made by Administrators, Executors I and Guardians. I It is further- made the duty of all Trustees I within three months after the t-ust property comes into their possession to return to the Court of Ordinary in the county where they reside, an inventory of all the trust properly in their hands received by them, which is to be recorded tinner the sumo regulations as Inven tories of Administrators and Executors. Executors. Administrators, Guardians and Trustees arc authorized to sell and convey property by Attorneys in all cases where they may lawfully sell and convey in person.] Rio. To define the liabilities of the husband for the debts of wife, and to define the liabili ties of property received through the wife, for the debts of the husband, existing at the time of marriage. [lt provides that, “hereafter when persons intermarry, the husband shall not he- liable for the debts of the wife further than the property received thro’ the wife will satisfy, and tba the property received by the husband through the wife shall in no case he liable for the debts, defaults or contracts of the husband, existing at the time cf marriage.” I (IT. To amend the rent laws. [Distress warrants for rent may be issued as well on the oath of the agent or attorney of the claimant us of the claimant in person, and whether such claim fir rent he made under the general or any local rent laws of this State.] 1(19. Authorizing tile Ordinaries of this State to. issue fi fas in certain cases. AVheti Ordinaries find any executor, adminis trator or guardian in default on their records, after notifying such executor, ad ninistrator, Ac., to make his or her animal return as is now required by law, ami on their failure to do so said Ordinaries shall have power to make out their cost for the same, and issue cost execu tions against such administrator, executor or guardian and their securities. Such executions are to he collected in the same manner as other executions in this State.] 177. To extend the provisions of the 4th section of an act for the prevention of frauds and perjuries, enacted 29. Charles 11, chap. 3. to make the same applicable to slaves. [lt provides that no action shall he brought whereby to charge any person upon any con tract of sale or gift of slaves, unless the agree ment or contract as aforesaid upon which such action shall he brought, or some memorandum or note thereof, shall he in writing and signed by the party to he charged therewith or some other person thereunto by him lawfully author ized.] Millard Fillmore on Anirrlcanhui! The New York Herald having called lor the letter written by Mr. Fillmore to Isaac New ton, of this city, we have procured the same, and now present it to our readers. The letter, though private, contains senli incuts which every American should desire to see published far and wide.— Phil. News. Buffalo, N. A'.. Jam 3. 1855. Isaac: NTavton : Respected Friend: It would give me great plea lire to accept your kind invitation to visit Philadelphia, if it were possible to make my visit private, and limit it to a few personal friends whom 1 should be mo t happy to see; hut I know that this would he out ofiny pow r, mi l I am tlie.e ore reluctantly com pelled to decline your invitation, as I have done others to New York and Boston, for the same reason. ... I return you many thanks for your informa tion oil the subject of polities. 1 urn always happy to hear w hat is going forward ; but. in dependent of the fact that 1 feel myself with drawn from the political nreiri, i have been too much depressed in spirit to take an active part in the late elections. 1 contented myself with giving a silent vote for Mr. Ullmnmi for Gov ernor. While, Inwever. lam an inactive observer of public events, ! am by no means an indiffer ent one, nnd I may say to you, in the frankness of private friendship, that 1 have for a long time looked with dread and apprehension at (lie corrupting influence which the contest for the foreign vote is exerting upon our elections. This seems to result from its being banded to gether. and subject to the control of a few in terested and selfish leaders. lienee, it has been a subject of bargain and sale, and each of tile great political parties of the country have been bidding to obtain it, and as usual in all such contests, the party which is most corrupt is most successful. The consequence is, that it is last demoralizing the whole country ; corrupt ing tlie very fountains of political power, and converting the ballot-box—that great palladi um of our liberty.— into an unmeaning mockery, where the fights of native-born citizens are voted away by those who blindly follow their mercenary and selfish lenders. The evidence of this is found not merely in the shameless chaffering for the foreign vote at every el ctipii. but in the large disproportion of offices which are now held by foreigners at home and abroad, as compared with our native citizens. Where is the true-hearted American whose cheek does not tingle with shame and mortification to see out highest and most cov eted foreign missions filled by men of foreign birth to the exelusion of native-born ? Such appointments are a humiliating confession to the crowned heads of Europe, that a republican .:! does not produce sufficient talent to repre sent a republican nation at a monarchical court. 1 confess that it seems to me—with all due re spect to others—that, as a general mle, our country slvuld be governed by American-born citizens. Lotus give to the oppressed of ev ery country an asylum and a home in our hap py land, give to all. the benefits of equal laws, and equal protection; but let us at the same time cherish as the apple of oar eye the great principles of constitutional liberty, which few who have not had the good fortune to be rear ed in a free country know howto appreciate and stiil less how to preserve. . Washington, m that inestimable legacy which he left to hi'scountry—his Faicwell Ad dress—has wisely warned us to beware of for eign liiiluencea s the most baneful foe of a re publican government, lie saw it to be sure in a different light from that in which 1 it now pre sents itself; but lie knew that it would approach ns in all forms and hence he cautioned us against the iirfiihinis u-iles of its wfhience. — Therefore, as well for oitr own sakes. to whom ] this invaluable inheritance of self-government I has been left by our forefathers, as for the sake! of the unborn millions who are to inherit this! land—foreign and native—let us take warning j of tlie Father of his Country, and do what we | can justly to preserve our institutions from cor ruption. and our country from dishonor, but let tikis be done by the people themselves, in their sovereign capacity by making a proper discrimination in theselection of their officers, ml not by depriving any individual:—native or foreign-born—of any constitutional or legal right to which he is now entitled. These are my sentiments, in brief, and al though I have sometimes almost despaired of my country when I have witnessed the rapid ! strides of corruption, yet 1 think 1 perceive a | gleam of hope in the future, and I now feel confident, that when the great mass of intelli gence in this enlightened country is oh.ee. fully aroused, and the danger manifested, it will fear lesdv apply the the remedy, and bring back the government to the pure days of administration. Finally. let, us adopt the old Roman motto, "■ Never despair of the Republic." Let us do Oar duty, end trust in that FrovidFuce which has so signally watched over and , r.-Ftn... a’ the resu t. But I have said mere tlun . itended, ami much more than 1 should h ■ - said to any one but a trusted friend, as I navi io desire to mingle in pi li tin'll strife, r Remember me kindly to your family, am’ ha.ieve me, tndv vunr Irieini.

The Chicago Tribune, a Republican paper, gives the following description of the maimer iu which the Irish Catholics of that city under take to "rule America.” What a blessed thing foreign government must, he here in the United Slates? The seems described took place at the recent charter election in that city.: The Tribune says: The Irish pooled into the city from all the surrounding country, and voted. Hundreds of Catholic foreigners in Cook conn ly came t" Chicago toholp their countrymen. Many of these vagabonds voted two and three tunes each, go ing from one ward to another. Drunken Irish sailors were known to,have voted as often a-- lour times, under assumed names, changing clothes for the purpose. At the Seventh ward liish were seen, alter having voted, (all into die ranks and work their way up to the win dow mid vote again, while around the pdfs stood a wild, excited mob of a thousand Ceils, (hreatning death to all who opposed them. Hundreds who were challenged and rejected at ■ne wards on the south side, swarmed over to 'heir countrymen on the north side, and there deposited th irballots. A great many swore ui their votes who were unnaturalized, nod 'lll'll till: Bible was held to tin 111, gasping i 1 hey kissed Their thumbs instead of the holy book, and by this dodge eased tender theii ■onsciences. Xor- and Amf.hu ax Doctrine.—The spring field Daily 'American, iu a recent issue say,: There never was a period in the pol.ti atl history ot the A mu-can party when ■ts growth and final success were more certain. Indications frotu all sections of the country show how virgorous y expan sive arc its principles Oldpo! tical creeds and party organization are and ssolving be fore its onward march, as snow disap pears in t c beams of a noonday sun, and, if the party are only true to themselves, t e time is not remote when tin- principles we advocate will cover our land as the wa ters cover the sea. The organizations known as de. ocrats whig, republicans, eternally, l.irT intrinsically made up of nil the discordant elements usually found among corrupt politicians, arc sinking in ti. toe gio-iiii ofdisiu egration. and all the more respectable ad intelligent portion of them are identifying themselves wit . the A uteri- an party —thus giving to it u healthy growth au<l>expansion which must insure its ultimate success and con pleti triumph ov. r all other elements of poht as. if the Americans keep themselves loo! from the contmianat mg iutiii nccs and party isms which designing dema .ogues seek to fasten on their platfoim, they will just as surely drive all other factions into a cosolidnted opposition against them as the sun shines on the firm ament'; The X. Y. Hire hi of Sunday, contains the subjoined paragraph: “About two years ago a negro woman named ! liana', vo JinPehnsi-d from hi r owner, S. F.

Gov.

Strange to say, this child is ,ow lost, and the father has, so fat searched for it in vain. The Governor recommends that all who have taken any of tlieso children publish descriptions of them in t' e papers, t 1 at the father, may thereby ascertain the wherabouts of hit child. “Father,’ said a cobbler’s lad, as ha. ■ as pi gging awaj at an old shoe, “tl iy say trout lute good now.” “Well, Weil,' e plied the old gentleman, “you stick to your work, and they wont bite you!” Au exelia go commenting on the fact that a number of Cincinnati young ladie* have lately been married and carried away, to otb r places says no city has a better cl a in to supply spare ribs for the umvtfr«e.’ T..al cannot be disputed.'
