SECRET HISTORY OF THE COLUMBUS MOVEMENT— ;
MISTAKES OF THE MONTGOMERY MAIL,
A writer in the Montgomery Mail, in ,
■an article headed Georgia, and the I mon j
j falls into some very singular errors. In
I describing the meeting in Temperance
I Hall on the 26th ult., and which inaugu
| rated the so-called “Columbus Movement,”
lie says:
A Know Nothing presided ; among the
old Democratic and “Fire Eating” lead
ers present we observe the names of Gen.
J. N. Bethune, Seaborn Jones, Esq., Hon.
I James Johnson, &c.; and among the
i Whigs, Wm. Dougherty, Thos. Ragland,
| and Hines Holt, Esqrs.
It will be news here, and to no one
i more emphatically than to the honorable
[gentleman himself, that '■‘•Hon. James
Johnson,” was a fire-eating leader in 1850.
At least, such was very far from being
the opinion of Jno. 11. Howard and others
who participated in that meeting.
William Dougherty will be very much j
surprised to learn that he was present and
participated in the meeting. The pub
lished accounts state that he was absent
from the city.
But the most singular announcement
of all is that “a Know Nothing presided.”
Os all the men in the city, William H.
Mitchell is the last man wc would pick up
for a Know Nothing. He is one in no
sense. We suppose the writer formed his
estimate of .his politics from the company
he was in. There were a good many
Know Nothing present at that meeting
and, in fact, the whole movement origina
ted with them. The secret history of
the “Columbus Movement” may be told
in a few words. A good many Democrats
were from one cause or other lured into
the Know Nothing Councils. About the
time the State Convention assembled in
Macon, it was ascertained that the con
cern would prove a failure in the South
and especially in Georgia. On the heels
of this discovery the Union degree made
itsappearance. The fire-eating Democrats,
no longer stimulated by the hope of office,
grew restive, and began to curse the thing
and threatened to withdraw But what
was to be done ? The Demomocratie par
ty had denounced the Know Nothings from
Maine to Texas, and were on the eve of
a signal triumph over them in Virginia.
“If we go back into that party’’ so they
reasoned, “we shall be doomed men ; at
least, we will have to go to the loot and
spell up. What shall we do then ? The
Whig party is dead; Tne Know Nothings
are dying; the Democracy proscribe us.
What shall we do? Start a new party,”
answered some man of audacity and geni
us, and forthwith the "Columbus move
ment” were brought forth. Well, it
caught some fierce old fire-eaters, who,
like old war horses, snuffed the battle from
afar, and a very respectable meeting was
gotten up at 'Temperance Hall, and a good
[ deal has been done to excite the public
I mind, but we have yet to learn that the
j first Know Nothing has quit the National
j secret political Order to which he belongs.
[lt seems to us that it is a necessary pre
| liminary to Southern Union, and that these
j Democrats who have quit the Democratic
; party had better see to it that their Know
| Nothing confederates are free to set in
i good faith with them before they co-ope
rate with them in its dissolution One
lof the supposed Know Nothing leaders,
| we know, has refused to advise the Arner-
I ican Patty, not to make a nomination for
j for Governor of Georgia and has hopes
, that it will prove to be the very party the
: South desires Are there any more of the
| same sort participating in the Columbus
Movement ? We would really like to
' know. May not the Columbus Movement
| be a trap to eateh the Democracy and in
duce them bodily into the secret chain-
I bers of the Know Nothings? Are they
j more worthy of Party affiliation than the
: Democracy North or South ? We can't
I think so.— Columbus Times <1 Sentinel.

DEMOCRATIC MEETING IN PICKENS.
On the first 'Tuesday in June, a very
large and respectable portion of the Dem-1
ocratic party, met at Jasper.
On motion. John Holcombe, Esq., was I
called to the chair, and Allison Mellan |
appointed Secretary, when M T. Day, |
i Esq., being called on, explained the oh- I
jects of the meeting. On motion G. W
Harmon, Esq., a committee of five was
' appointed to prepare business for the
meeting, consisting of the following gen
i tiemen, to wit:—G. W. Harmon, Wm T.
i Day, Wm. 11. Gordon, Jeremiah Lam
i bert, and Isaac Lindsay. The committee
I immediately withdrew to an adjoining
i room for consultation. In the meantime
I the meeting was addressed by Col. L. J.
Aired, who made a very appropriate and
; forcible speech, showing that it behooved
' the Democracy to prepare for the coming
elections —to stand by their principles,
and defend them against the combined
attacks of the various amalgamated fac
tions and isms of the day. While he was
speaking the committee on business re
turned; lie suspended his remarks, and
they made, the following report. The
committee appointed by the chair to pre
pare business for the action of this meet
ing, beg leave to offer the following re
solutions, and recommend their adop
tion.
Ist. Resolved, That the Democratic
party of Pickens county, are gratified to
learn that Col. Joseph E. -Brown has con
sented to become a candidate for Judge |
of the Blue Ridge Circuit, aud while we I
know him to be always true to his politi- 1
cal faith as a consistent Democrat, an
able and efficient lawyer, and an honest;
upright man we also recognize in him those
active business qualifications and that de
cision and energy of character which pe
culiarly qualify him for the Bench, and
that the Democracy of this county, and
|in our opinion a large majority of the
| people without distinction of party, will
i give him a united cordial and hearty
i support.
2d. Rcsolv d. That the people of this!
I county still remember, and will not forget!
on the day of election, the active and en-1
getic stand which Col Brown took, and I
the able and efficient services which
he render to our able, and faith
ful representative Lemuel J. Aired,
Esq , while he was battleling at
Milledgeville, in the last. Legislature for
the formation of our county. And Mr.
Alred’s services will be acknowledged by
his numerous friends at the election in
October next. We will stand by those
who stood By us when we most needed
help.
3d. Resolved, That that portion of the
general presentment of thelate grand Jury
of this county, which is political in char
acter, and was intended to influence the
Judicial election in favor of Judge Irwin,
the present incumbent meets the in quali
| lied disapproval of this meeting, and in
our judgement receives the decided con
demnation of a large majority of the voters
of this county, which portion of the pre
sentments above referred to, was origiual-
; ly drafted, as we are informed, by a law
yer who does not reside in our circuit, and
• is an old bluelight federal whig, and that
> we doubt not, from the attendant circum
’ stances, and the short time which was al
’ \ lowed the Grand Jury for preparing their
’ I presentments, on account of the hurry
' which it seems the court for one time
> got into, that it underwent the revision,
• or at least the suggestion and approval of
I the highest authority of the court then in
I session.
’ 4M, Resolved, That we disapprove of
1 the practice which now obtains so common-.
• ly with grand juries, of lavishing on all
1 occasions sickly, and in many instances,
• unmerited and unmeaning compliments
1 upon Judges and Solicitors General, as it
! | encumbers our records from court to
derstood by every man of sense to be a
• court with unnecessary matter, and is un-
• mere unmeaning commonplace ceremony,
J and does no good, only as it may tickle
- the vanity of a Judge who may happen to
’ to be weak enough to receive it as the
1 highest evidence that all regard him of dis-
1 tinguished judicial ability.
l)th Resolved, That long; dry and tedi
ous charges to Grand Juries, bad order in
I . Court all th‘ week, slow tardy dispatch of\
II business, and long concluding addresses to '
‘ ; Grand Juries on receiving general pre-
’ j sentments, while numerous parties and in
; | terests have to attend from court without
I getting their causes tried are, in our judges
’ i ment improper; and in every case where
such a state of things exist, a reformation
t is necesarsy.
’ 6tA. Resolved, That we invite all sound
Whigs to unite with us in the common
I cause to put down those amalgamrted fac
tions that are seeking to destroy the liber
ties of the people, and the free institutions
I of our country.
~th. Resolved, That the Democracy of
. this county will support Lemuel J . Aired
j Esq. for the Senate, and John E. Price
> for the House of Representatives, at the
t October election; that we will use all hon
i orable means in our power for their success
. an I we doubt not they will succeed by a
. large majority.

-! al»ove resolutions were unanimously adop
r ted.

PLATFORM OF THE OHIO KNOW NOTHI NGS--ANTI- ’
SLAVERY FEATURES.
We invite the attention of our readers j
to the following platform which was pro
mulged by the Ohio Know-Nothings at
the annual session of the Council held in
Cleveland, June sth, 1855. It is said
that 400 members were present, repre
senting a nominal membership of 130,-
000.
The platform cannot be denied, since it
is published by order of .the council, is
signed by its chief officers, has appeared
in Know-nothing organs, and has been
formally aud authoritatively communica
ted to the National Convention now hold
ing its session in Philadelphia.
“We proclaim to the world the following
principles of the American party in
Ohio.
“ 1. The unlimited freedom of religion
disconnected with politics; hostility to
ecclesiastical influences upon the affairs of
government; who are thoroughly Ameri
canized, aud owe no temporal allegiance,
by reason of their religion higher than that
to the Constitution.
“2. No interference with the rights of
citizenship already acquired by foreigners
and the protection ot law to all who hon
estly emigrate from love of liberty ; but
the exclusion of foreign paupers and fel
ons, and a refusal to extend the right of
suffrage to all who come hereafter until (
they shall have resided twenty-one years !
in the United States. •
“ 3. Opposition to all political organiz-1
ations composed exclusively of foreigners,!
J and to foreign military companies, and to’
I all attempts to exclude the Bible from
’ schools supported by the government.
“4. Slavery is local not national: .
lie oppose its extension in any of our Ter-!
ritories, and the increase of its political,
power by the admission into the I nion of
any slave State, or otherwise; and we de
mand of the General Government an im-;
mediate redress of the great wrongs which
have been inflicted upon the cause of free
dom and the American character by the
repeal of the Missouri Compromise and
i the introduction of slavery into Kansas in
’ violation of law, by the force of arms, and
the destruction of the elective fran
chise.
“5. In humble imitation of the wis
dom of Washington, we oppose all inter
vention in the affairs of foreign States; yet
on all proper occasions, we will not with
hold our sympathy from any people aspir
ing to be free.
“6. We support American industry
and genius, against the adverse policy of
foreign nations, and facilities to internal
and external commerce by the improve
ment of rivers and harbors, and the con
struction of nation roads uniting the At
lantic with the Pacific ocean, and binding
together the various sections of the
Union.
“7. The Union of these States should be.
made perpetual by a faithful allegiance to
the Constitution.
“8. In State policy we zealously ad
vocate retrenchment and reform, a modi
fication of the present oppressive system
of taxation, and a liberal system of public
schools.

BILLS OF EXCHANGE AND BILLS OF LADING. •
A case of much interest to commercial
men has recently been decided in the
French Courts in Havre, directly the re
verse of the English practice in regard to
the use of shipping documents for the se
curity of Bills of Exchange drawn against
Cotton and other produce from this coun
try. It is also at variance with the hith
erto received custom adopted by our Bank
ers in regard to French Bills. The ship’s
Bill of leading has been held to control
the property not only until the Exchange
is presented and accepted in Liverpool or
Havre, but until the acceptance itself is
made satisfactory to the holder or cashed
at bank rate by the acceptor himself. —
Such, however, is not the law of France.
The consignee in Havre is no party to
any contract here outside the Bill of Ex
change itself. The property passes to his
control when the Bill is accepted.
The case was as’ follows : A merchant
in Mobile bought for a merchant in Havre
353 bales of Cotton, and drew for the
amount at sixty days’ sight. The draft
was sold to L. W. and Co., accompanied
with the bill of lading, with the under
standing that if the draft was accepted
and the acceptance was satisfactory to the
holder, the bills of lading be remitted to
the person on whom the draft was drawn ;
but if it was refused acceptance, or if the
acceptance was not satisfactory, then the
holder was authorized to put said bills of
landing in the hands of anothe* to operate
the sale on account of the proprietor, and
apply the proceeds to the payment of the
draft.
The Bill was accepted by the drawee,
who claimed in exchange for his accept
ance the Bills of Lading which the holder
refused to except on receiving good secu
rity for the ultimate payment of the ac
ceptance.
An action was brought by the acceptor
before the tribunals of Havre to obtain
the Bills of Lading. The following points
were decided by the Court:
1. The holder of a Bill of Exchange,
not yet accepted but who intends present
ing the same for acceptance, cannot' exact
from the drawee, who is charged with the
fulfilment of the provisions of said bill,
any guarantee not stipulated in the con
tact of exchange itself.
Especially the holder of a Bill of Ex
change cannot exact from the drawee, in
addition to his acceptance, a security for
payment at the expiration of the term, or
any other guarantee not stipulated in the
original contract.
2. The holder of a bill canuot produce,
in justification of his position, agreements :
between him and the drawer which are ir- ■
revelant to the bill, and to which the
drawee is an entire stranger.
3. An acceptance is sufficient when giv-
en in conformity to the rules laid down in
Articles 122 and i.-- .t the Code of
Commerce, and the <h . •; th- right,
when he offers an accepiau< e eviitormably
thereto, to insist on a delivery of the Bills
of Lading of the goods for the payment
of which the Bill of Exchange has been
drawn

Chatham Co., June 6, 1855.
Having learned that a report is in cir
culation that I am a member of the Know
Nothing party, and one of the chief offi-|
cers of the same, and having, as I trust, a |
just regard for my character as a man and
a citizen, I take this occasion through the
Standard newspaper, to contradict this re
port, and to brand it as an utter and base
talsehood. I never joined the dark-lan
tern concern, never thought of doing it,
and never will, so help me God ! My
father was an officer in the Revolutionary
War, and fought for three years side by
side with themoble men of that, era, native
and adopted, for the great principles of
freedom and liberty of conscience; and I
should consider that I was dishonoring his !
blood if 1 allied myself with any such par
ty as that of the federal bluelight dark
lanters. lam now seventy three years i
of age, I voted for Jefferson, Madison
Monroe, Jackson, Van Buren, Polk, and
Pierce; lam a Democrat from principle,
and shall never desert the party which
has administered the government during
nearly the whole period of its existence,
which has defended it through two wars,
enlarged its boundaries in peace and by
honorable conquest from thirteen States i
to thirty-one, and made it the asylum of
the oppressed of all nations, a land of
refuge where all should be allowed to i
“ worship God according to the dictates'
: of their own consciences,” none molesting
them nor making them afraid
This is my position and these are my
! principles and sentiments May God save

. and the curse of Know Nothingism ! My
! confidence is unshaken, for God greater

riTHR Hotel at White Sulphur, is now
j open for the soaßon, under the direction Jilisl.
ol (’apt. (’has. H. Miller, late of the U. S. Hotel,
Philadelphia.
'Fhe Watere at White Sulphur are unrivalled
by those of any other Watering Place in the
South. Their medical qualities are well under
stood and appreciated by our most scientific
physicians, who arc among the warmest friends
and supporters of thr place, and who are daily
giving their testimony in favor of their remedial
efficiency in cases that have long baffied the skill
of physicians and the power of medicine. For
the relief of Dyspepsia, in its various forms.
Chronic Diarrhim, indigestion, Kidney diseases.
Cutaneous AiTections, Irregularities and loss of
Appetite, Debility, &c. For nervous affections
they have proven themselves immensely useful.
As a summer resort, few places have, equal ad
vantages. Besides tho Red and White Sulphur
and Chalybeate Springs, we have as good cold
frcc-stpne water as can be had anywhere. Our
buildings arc located in the midst of the native
forest groves, amply protected from the sun, and
in full view of the mountain ridge, from which
we have almost a perpetual breeze. Pleasant
rides and slntded walks surround the place.
'Fhe arrangements for bathing in the Sulphur
waters are complete and convenient.
'Those who desire comfortable rooms at White
Sulphur, should make early application as we
expect all will betaken noon.
Visitors from the low country should come
directly to Columbus. At that place they can
either take the Hacks for White Sulphcr, or con
tinue up the Road, to West Point or LaGrange
nt both of which places they will find Hacks in
readiness to bring them over.
