J ndge Conrad, of one of the Phlla adelphia courts, sentenced a man, named Rump, to prison for two years and eight months for the perpetration of frauds by which James Buchanan was elected to the Presidency last fall. Mr. Buchanan now occupies the White House at Wush iutou, and Hump is domiciled in a cell at Moyamensiiig! Our readers are of course familiar with the gross and outrageous frauds re ferred to. Tlu-ir enormity has never been equalled in the country. Not even those ut the famous Plaquetnine parish, Louis iana, 1144, ly which Henry Clay lost his election, and the country the services of its ablest statesman in the Executive chair, are at all comparable with them. They were indeed sufficiently startliug and gave evidence of the deep and utter degradation of Locofocoism —of the vile ness of the means to which that party would resort tor the accomplishment of its purpose ; but even beyond the low est depths there has been louud still low er a deep iti political infamy. It was re served h*r the quasi Democracy of I hil* adelphia to perpetrate the must enormous frauds upon the purity of the ballot-box that have ever disgraced the elective franchise of the nation. Those frauds wore practiced at the State elections in October, and gave the Stati of Pennsylvania to the Democratic pstrlv. The influence of that election is wall known. It was anticipated through out the nation with the deepest interest. Upon it hung the national result. Had the Democracy then been defeated in the home of its candidate, the battle would have gone quite diflerently in November. The Buchanan leaders well knew the im portance of the ((ctober contest, and they let no means untouched to accomplish that which was of vital importance to their interest. On tho ‘ day of the elec tion Philadelphia was a perfect cauldron of seething, boiling, noxious corruption. Rowdyism was rampant. The voting places were accessible only bv force.— Ballot-boxes were stuffed. Democratic judges of election acted only with an eye single to party ■success. Bribery, chica nery ami all the elements of political vil lainy were brought to bear upon the lower classes of tho population. Iu that manner the vote of Philadelphia was se cured and Penney Ivauiu rendered Demo cratic. What followed it is needless tor ns to state. The South foolishly imagined Buchanan to tie tlicir unit hope, and a general re-action took place in ’his sec tion of die country, most terribly disas trous to the cause of Fillmore and Amer icanism. Thu is tin: simple, true -ter ■. It needs no cmbellishmcm. The nturilnig nakedness of thu facts is sufficient to ( bring home to every true American heart a sense of depression, and to thrill ( his frame with a shudder for the safety of , a government whose destinies can be thus lawlessly controlled. There can be no , question of the tact that the present ad ministration owes its clevatiou to power • to a gigantic scheme of fraud and vio lence, winked at, encouraged, and author ized, too, by men who assume for them selves honorable po-itiolis in society. There is some atonement to injured justice and the outraged rights of freemen in the punishment that is being meted out to these villainous authors of these wrongs. Hut it is mno wise adeqnate. Rump and his confederates might linger in prison the balance of their lives, but will that deter men high in authority from committing similar outrages through the agency of such miserable wretches? As long us the Democratic party has vi tality enough to make battle, its leaders will resort to just such agencies for the accomplishment of their purposes. It is the party of radicalism, of turbulence, of revolution, of individual aggrandizement, and shrinks from the commission of no felony that success may crown it efforts. This Philadelphia case has a great moral, but it is to patent to reflecting freemen to need elaboration. We leave it to tile good sense of our l eaders.— They will see how foreign scoundrels, under the authority of Democratic cham pions, ruled the election and turned the scales last November, defeating true A mcricanism and its candidates. Mr. Buchanan in the White House and Rump in his Moyainensing cell are widely sep arate in position, but there is between them the smallest, aye, an almost imper ceptible line of distinction to the pure political moralist. Both have wronged the American people.— Louisville Jour nal. From the Mont. Mall. Taking hi* Picture. Ed*. Mail: You have hoard tell of Atlanta, the rail roud city ot Georgia. We were there a lew winters ago, and were present in the office ol a celebrated divine, (who also ministered to the physical debilities of such of the human kind as requested his services.) and with several friends were engaged in the examination of an electric machine, just arrived from the City of Notions when in stepped a specimon of the gen uine unterrided denizen of the hog counties of Cherokee Georgia, who enquired of the compa ny present what sort of a contrivance we had before us. One of our party, who had fought through Mexico and had done his share of delving in the minos of California, and who subsequently’ eu listod in the cause of the South in Kansas, was “armed and equipped,” iustanter, for a practical prank ou this verdant sprout. The aforesaid David immediately replied to greeny's question, by politely and gravely in forming him that it was the futuous invention of Mousier Daguorro, for taking the likeuoss ol the doad or liviug. ‘Well, if you will not charge too much, I will have mine taken,’ replied our rural visitor; and, after a few minutes of deep thought, ha contin ued : ‘a man’s life is not safe, no how, since the State Hoad is managed and engineered by the unterritied Democracy. Dive or die, I’m in 1’ Tho price being agreed npon, (David officia ting as operator, or ‘ professor,’’ as the title ia now-a-days,) the optics of the subject were stead ily placed on a nail hole in the wall of the off ice, his hands were entrusted with the poles, and the words “be steudy” and “all ready” be ing given and assented to, Professor David seiz ed the crank of the battery, and began such a eeries of quick revolutions, that the gentleman from tho swine country of Georgia resembled a veritable shaking quaker going through a portion of the motions which characterizes and partly affords the nonenclaturo of that rreed. In the meantime, the gentleman who desired “to secure his shadow, ere the substance perish d,” began a series of shouts of the words, “Hold up, Professor! hold up I You will break me to flinders or burst your machine, if you have to turn so hard as that in taking my pic ture I In fact, you have nearly jerked me out of my boots I Take what I have paid you, turn my grip loose from your machine, and I will break for home faster than a wild barrow would run through a crab-upple thicket I” The electrical current was checked, the gen tleman from the hog district was let out, and the amateur daguerreotypist adjourned to a ‘free and easy’ place, and a jovial and spirited elbow crooking was kept up until the “three scads” received from the first customer were perfectly annihilated in the payments for “corn juice.” TATTLER. rott tuk o corgi a I’lmrt. A Last Appeal. Mr. Editor: —Gratitude to our fath ers, safety to ourselves, and protection to our children, ought, it seems to me, to induce a careful examination of the posi tion of political parties in Georgia.— V\ hat i- the difference between the De mocrat “• arid American party in Georgia’ Doe hall of the Democratic leaders and j .ro.sses in Georgia openly endorse Walk er and Buchanan. ‘I he other half blames Walker but defends Buchanan. Look at the condition of things in Kansas, and what do you read and learn from the pen of such men as Atchison, Ben Brant ley, Dauforih and Woodward, leaders of the pro-slavery party in Kansas—men whose fidelity to principle and the right* of their own sunny South has never been questioned. Who do they blame?— Walker, no/ They blame Mr. Buchan an. They say, Walker is only acting according to Mr. Buchanan’s directions. The Democratic leaders in Georgia say Mr. Buehauen is not to blame, and some of them go so far as to say ■ uat Walker has done nothing wrong. Jit three weeks the Democratic press will endorse Milk er's course in Kansas ! Note it, people of Georgia. The Times, a the Georgian, the Constitutionalist, all stand ready, nay, anxious to do the bidding of their masters. What is the position ol the American party in Georgia ! It stands shoulder to shoulder with Atchison, Ben Brantly, Datiforth, Woodward and the pro-sla very party in Kansas. Unlike the lead ers of the Democratic party, it does not denounce the robbery and defend the robber, but true to the rights of the South aud the country, it demands equal ity and justice in the Territory of Kan sas. Mr. Toombs openly defended squatter sovereignty and alien suffrage in the Territories. He said it was an A eriean idea. Never, never! It is an Abolition and Freesoil idea, for Seward, Hale and Chase uniformly voted for it. It never was a Southern idea. The South has steadily opposed it. The South was always a unit against the idea of squatter sovereignty end alien suffrage in the Territories. Are Chase and Se ward pro-slavery men? It they are, then Mr. Toombs is right. Men of Georgia, let us guard the ballot box with earnestness, it is the wonder ful agent of good, or the genius of wrong, according to our usage of it. The mat ter of voting is, or at least ought to be, a solemn affair; and 1 do think every thinking man is responsible to his God for its exercise. 1 wish we all felt that we were so—if we did, the condition of things would soon be materially changed. Men might still differ as to men, but principle would be the rule of our actions, principle being the motive of action, truth, unchanagable, would prevail. We should all goto the polls, thankful for the bene fits conferred. We shonld all under stand the right, and knowing the right, be determined to vote for principle, and sustain truth by acting with and voting for the Hon. B. 11. Hill for Governor. LOWNDES.

W hat need to say more. Let every man do his duty, and his whole duty, on Monday next, and we have abiding con fidence that the canse of truth and right will prevail over wrong and injustice.— Whatever may be the issue of the con test, however, we feel that we have la bored in a good cause, and that if the American party do not “command suc cess,” they have done more—“deserved it.” Our County Candidates. We are justly proud of the ticket which the American Party of Bibb has presented for the suffrages of the people, on Monday next. The names of our candidates are al most as familiar household words, in every family in the county. They are known and respected as possessing every manly trait which endears man to man, and makes us think better of humanity, Ist we have T. P. Stubbs, Esq., an emi nent lawyer, who has risen from poverty to affluence, by his own persevering efforts, kind consideration for the misfortunes ol his fellow-men and active and gratuitous la bors for those who needed his services, hut who had not the wherewith to make any return except that of gratitude. Pete: Stubbs is beloved by all classes—especially by the poor man who dwelieth in the hum ble log cabin of tho country. He does not need Grand Jury certificates of his benevo lence of heart, or of his disposition to aid the widow and the orphan, nor would he, like his aristocratic competitor, engage in the pit iful work of circulating hand-bills setting forth how benevolen t he, as foreman of the Grand Jury, would have been with the pub lic money, if it only had been in the treasu ry, when the Ladies’ Charitable Society ask •ed for a donation ! No. T. P. Stubbs is uot the uiau to trumpet his own praises, and that constitutes a strong reason why liis 1 friends should remember him on Monday.— That they will do so, wo have n i earthly t douhf. for gratitude is a principle which yet liveth in the human heart, and worth, talent and honor, siit-h as belomr to our candidate , for Senator, deserve their just reward. Next we l ave tho gallant and accomplish ed Hardeman, one of th- most promising young men of the State. He Is also well known so the people of Bibb. He has serv ed his country with ability and zeal, iu the Legislature. He is eloquent and efficient. — (He is worthy and well qualified. He is al to the poor man’s friend, and is not one of those who will shak( poor man’s hand just [before the election and never afterwards, hut Always the same clever man, who makes no •eiher distinction among his fellow men than what merit will justify. | And last, we present the name of Dr. Edmond F zgerald, a gentleman not so well known as his colleagues, hut none the less Worthy. He has been a citizen of the coun ty for years, is an accomplished practitioner of Medicine and Surgery, and partner with Dr Nottingham in the Drug Business. Those who know him best, say he is the soul of honor, probity and truth—one of those mo dest men who would blush to hear his own praises, and whose kindness of heart and nobleness of character have endeared him to all his acquaintances. .On the whole, our ticket will compare fa vorably with that of the opposition, the bulk of which has a little too much of the “ upper cruit” of society in its composition to con stitute a Democratic ticket While we, therefore, have not one word to say against the ability, integrity and worth of these gentlemen, as men and citizens, we still are compelled to give our preference to those who are not only their equals in every es sential of manhood, but best represent the principle* we advocate. “Slander refuted.” Under this caption, the last Telegraph contains un editorial article, pm porting to refute a charge against Col. Bass that he was not a friend to the poor, which i the “locum tenens” of that press pro nounces a “ malignant slander” and “low and contemptible trickery” of some op ponents of that gentleman. Now we don’t believe a word of this cock and bull story. It was only hatched up by the Telegraph to make capital for Col. Bass, by an indignant denial of a charge which never was made, but which Col. Bass was probably conscious of deserv ing. But the strangest of all is the manner Col. Do Grautfenried proves the benevolence of Col. B. He quotes a passage from the report of the Grand J ury of Bibb, of which Col. B. was Fore man, regretting that they had no means at their control to respond to the request of the Ladies Charitable Association, for money ! Why did not Col. B. a rich rich man as he is, head a subscription for the money needed and get his fellow ju to follow suit. That would have been true benevolence, but sympathy on pa per never did cloth the poor or feed the hungry. Try again, Colonel, and while you arc about it don’t forget to tell how much charity Col. Bass has had towards the poor widow Stubbs whose husband was killed last year by Col. B’s. negro. Stubbs was overseer of the wealthy Mr. Bass at the time he was murdered! Look out for Roorbacks. We understand that the Telegraph will be out, this evening or early Mon day morning, with a fresh batch of “ Roorbacks ” designed to operate on the election and circulated at an hour too late to be answered. We caution our friends against all reportt of whatever character calculated to prejudice the claims of the American candidates to the suffrages of the people. The Dem ocratic candidates are making desper ate efforts to win, but we think, clever gentlemen as they all are, they “ can’t come in” this time—notwithstanding ihcir ardent ambition to serve tin coun ty. Again we say. beware of big re ports, just on the eve of the election. An Irishman’s Two Reasons! L —A good joke is told of the Democratic candi ’ date lor the Senate, which, for the fuu of it, we shall tell, as it was told to us. The Colonel was ■ “bobbing around” hunting qp votes lor Mondayi > and among others made himself familiar, for the nonce, with a ‘ naturalized citizen” who had al l ways beeu a “Dimmycrat” and nothing shorter! - Alter a little blarneying had passed between the parties, the Colonel dropped an “insinivation” that, of course. Dal would vole and use his influ ence lor him, on Monday next, but was rather Set back when Rat informed 14m that he didn't intend to do any such thing I “Why not,” says the Colonel, “Are you not a Democrat.” ‘Yes, be jabers,’ says Pat, “but I have two reasons why I can’t vote for you, Colonel.” “Ah in deed, ” says the Colonel, “what are they ?” “Why 111 tell you” says Pat. “One reason is, Colonel. 1 like Peter Stubbs a great deal better than Ido you, and the other is, I don't like you near so wejl as Ido Peter 1” We believe the Colonel gave it up | • - ■■ False Report. We undei stand that during tho ab sence ofT. P. Stubbs, Esq., at Macon Court, Col. Bass visited Rutland District and reported that Mr. Stubbs had said that he held a mortgage on the people of Rutland, and could buy the District for S2OO. We are authorised to say that Mr. Stubbs never made any such remark, although others say he has done enough charitable work for the good people of that District, to purchase the whole of it at the usual rates of lawyers’ charge*.— But Mr. Stubbs is not the man to boast ofhis benevolence, nor make any such remarks concerning thoso whom he has benefitted, and it is a shame for his com petitor to be engaged in such kind of electioneering. Kev. Or. Burin*? for Hill. Some falsehoods having been circula ted, at Atlanta, that the Rev. Dr. Jesse B ‘ring, now of Lagrange, but still a Pro testor in the Atlanta Medical College, intended to vote for Brown for Governor, the following reply was obtained to a letter addressed him by Dr. John M. Boring, making enquiry on the sub ject : “ Dr. John M. Boring: Dear Sir : —I have just received your favor of the 28th inst., in which you say that a report is circulating in Atlanta, to , the effect, that I will not support the Hon. B. H.

Duncan at the Mem, phis celebration take a seat on the stage erected for distinguished visitors without invitation ? Did he, after being request ed to retire, go round to the rear and get upon the stage again, by CRAWL ING under a rope which had ‘ been stretched to keep off intruders ? If he did, ought not Congress to allow him a pension for life for having discovered the “ short-cut” to greatness ? Could he not be prevailed upon to write to Mr. Bu chanan 1 Surely the old federalist would “depart from his usual custom” to notice a communication from such a “dis tinguished source.” ANTI-MUGGINS. The John W. Duncan who is thus spoken of, as having crawled into distinction or notoriety, at Memphis, is the proprietor of the Atlanta Intelligen cer, who has become so notorious for his abuse of the best men of the country.— He is a nice chap, isn’t he, to be placed in control of a public party press ! (From the Atlanta American.) The State Road. We append an article from the “ Savannah Repuh u?n.” ln reference to a email tranaactlon connected with State Road Management. From it will be seen, that after a delay of two yean a northern l.ouse asks for the payment of a halance due them of twelve hundred dollars, and that \few weeks ago only, it was arranged to pay it in instalments. Let it oe remarked, first, that the amount is twsltb uondhkd dollars, just about the amount of extra pay allowed the “ Intelligencer” for printing for the State Koau. That had the printing been done at tbs right price, enough would have been saved to pay the above debt twice , since matured. Let it be remarked, secondly, that the arrangement was made only a few weeks ago. That only a few w*eks ago, it *as inconvenient to pay the small sum ot twelve hundred dollars. Yet, about the same time, on 'y a few weeks ago, the ‘‘ Intelligencer’ l told the peo. pie that sßo.ooo would he paid into the State Treasury f>efore the election. It so inconvenient to pay a debt of only $1,200, how can they pay 180.000 into the Trea sury ? If they have the SBO,OOO, why npt spare $1,900 of it to pay* patlept cretfitpr, instead of making him wait, and t|,e State pay interest on it. At any rate, If the large sura could be promised to the Btate by the first of October, why could not the small sum have been promised also ? Wht ? No, citizens of Georgia, thil transaction proves that when the “ Intelligencer” made that bluaterlng prom ise, that SBO,OOO would be paid into th* Treasury be fora the election , it well enough knew it could not and would not be done. It was a trick to prop a linking cause, and deceive the people. The Road has not been andican not be managed bypartlaani! The propiisw or the money was made for effect, made to deprive, fpp undoubtedly t£ey have pot got it—pr, If have, they owe if, and will pay it to the State Treasurer to deceive the people at Ut*t , hy a pretended .how ©f profit which does not exist in fact ! “Much has been said of the wretched management of the fiscal affairs of this great work, yet we feel sure not the half has been told. Prom what little has al ready ome to light, the people are astounded, and wa hav- reason to believe have determined, by a large majority, upon som* speedy and radical change. Two years ago, at the close of a modern Democratic administration, the cars of the road were in the hands of the sheriffs of Tennessee for debt, and the great Btate of Georgia *as gctpally reduced to the mnrtTfic*; tion of seeing her property put up at public outcry and knocked down to the highest bidder. This, too, when the road was doing a heavy business, and the friends of the administration were boasting of the surplus ear nlng it was paying into the Btate Tieasury. Two years have elapsed, and though the business of the Road for that period has been unpreoeden* ted—even beyond the capacity of its rolling stock for a great portion of the time—-we have reason to be lieve there I as been but little if any improvement In Its financial management. We will cite a circumstance in justification of the opinion, and we do it on our own responsibility, even at the risk of being denounced for “calumny” and “falsehood,” as Mr. Hill has been. There has been due, to a Northern establishment, and lying over for twelpe or more, a balance of some \ twelve hundred dollar i, qp aeeopnt of engines mruished the Btate Road. This small amount, it ap, pears to us, might, and should, have been met promptly at maturity. Bucb. bow~, r ,wa. not the case. The northern manufacturing house wrote out frequently to the authorities of the Road urging the payment of the amount; but could get nothing satisfactory from them, Discouraged by the result of these applications by letter, they eventually, and but a few weeks ago, despatched a member of their firm all the way to Georgia to look af* teethe debt, and If possible, to procure Its payment.—* Arrived at Atlanta, the creditor presented Ms claim, and wan told they were unable to meet It. Negotiations commenced, and not wishing to return without making definite arrangement for its payr ent, he finally agreed to allow further time on the debt, and for the conve nience of the Hoad, to receive it in installmenta. What think the people of Georgia of this transaction ? The facts arc given upon th* very best authority, and we have no idea that they will belied in *ny ma‘e: rial particular. If they should be, we are ready to pr> dace the proofo.” r MR, lIILL AT BUTLER. 1000 People Present I Great Enthusiasm ! I Dr. Andrews :—I was present at the meeting at Butler, on Thursday, and heard Ben Hill make one of finest speeches. The crowd was very large consisting of at least 1000 people—and the enthusiasm very great. If Hill could make the same speech he made at Butler in every county in the State, his majori ty over his competitor would be immense, The candor and fairness of the man, his irresistible logic, and the matchless elo- quenee of his appeals— not only attract the admiration, but win the hearts ofev ery unprejudiced hearet. Trippe was to speak in tne afternoon, but 1 had to take the train for Macon before he commeno. ed, and did not, therefore, hear him. I no doubt, though, he made thenar fly (as he always does) every lick he made. 1 was pleased to see Bon Hill looking so | well and in such fine spirits. He told i me his health had never been better than during his trip through South-Western Georgia, and 1 learn from other sources that ho was greeted in that section of the State with an enthusiam never be fore equalled. At the conclusion of his speech in Butler, he told the people that he should sleep as quietly on the night after the election, as he had ever slept in his life —that he had been true to the people, and whether defeated op elected, he should feel conscious tlat he had done Ms duty to bis country and to his Wive State.
