The Wisely Examiner will after the first day of August next, be issued to subscribers, at the low price of ONE DOLLAR per annum, paya able invariably in advance. Many reasons have induced the proprietor pl this paper to embark in an enterprise never be fore attempted in the South, and which has proved, not only successful in the Anti-Slavery States North and West, but has received a pat ronage in the Slave States, that had better be con fined, though at greater expense, to the Lan tern Press. To obviate, then, the objection, as far as we can, to the price of the Weekly Examiner, we from and after the period designated will forward it to subscribers at one dollar, per annum, and this will place it within the reach of the poor, as well as the rich. To politics, news, and literature, the Examiner will be devoted. Our position in regard to the first is already well understood. It is unnecessa ry, therefore, to say more than that it sustains and will sustain, the DEMOCRATIC AN 1 I KNOW NOTHING PARTY of Georgia and the Union, to which the South can look, with confidence, to the maintenance of her rights, and a strict adherence to the Constitution. The NEWS DEPARTMENT of this paper shall be unsurpassed by any weekly paper in the South. Atlanta occupies a position, and embra ces facilities, for the receipt and transmission of NEWS, unequalled in the South. Every ad vantage will be taken of these, to make the EX AMINER a valuable news paper to our farmers, who, in the main, subscribe for weekly pape s only. The Literary and Miscellaneous Department will also receive a large share of attention. During the session of our Legislature, /me <J the Editors will be present to report the proceed ings of that Body, foi the Daily Examiner —these reports will be transferred to the weekly and each subscriber to it, will thus have a complete history of the session, A correspondent to furnish the proceedings ol Ct ngress, and a New York correspondent, have also been engaged. In short, every thing that can reasonably be expected of a weekly piper, will be laid before the subscribers to the Exam- , iner. A large and tine assortment ot new type has been ordered, and is now on its way from New York, We hope to receive it in time for our next week’s issue, when not only will the ap pearance of our Daily and Weekly be greatly improved, but a large quantity of reading matter will be added to both. In adventuring upon this novel enterprise—one so important to Georgia, and thcSouth —the Pro prietor anticipates a generous support. It is the first established paper in the State, or the South, with a large circulation, that has reduced its terms, that it may be within the reach ol any man. As sueh.it is hoped and believed that the enter prise will prosper. Wo ap|>eal then to the people to subscribe ; particularly do wo call upon the DEMOCR ACY and ANTI-KNOW NOTHINGS, to stand by us. Send in your orders, by tens and by hun dreds, and we will send you a large, well printed paper equal in its every department, to any week ly Southern paper. GOV. TROUP ON KNOW NOTHINGIisM. We publish to-day two letters written by the distinguished man whose name heads this article, to Doctor John G. iSlappey, of Newton, in this Stalo. Ono of these letters was written in 1850. and not intended for the public eye. The other is of recent date, in which permission is given to make the first named public, and in which, all though reluctantly, the author, in pointed terms, gives his views of Know Nothingism and (ienera- Pierce’a administration of the Federal Govern ment. Any, and every thing political emanating from this patriotic son of Georgia, will be read with interest by the people, and exercise, what it ought to do, a due influence over them- Had his counsels, in the past, overruled the old (State Rights Party of Georgia, we feel confident We would now be a united people, and much of thal asperity and bitterness which has prevailed, and is now prevailing, between the two parties within its limits would never have had an existence, In the retirement of this eminent statesman, ho has not failed to observe with a jealous eve the en croachments of the North upon Southern Rights and the Constitution ; ami it is plain that be has not failed also to observe, on the part of his old friends a gradual departure from the doctuue o. State Rights which he so valiantly am! ably maintained in the days of “7>wp and the 'I na il/." That was a proud era for Georgia, when, undismayed, he defied the younger Adams, and forced Northern Federalists to submit to the st,r -ercigntj/ of Georgia. His position then was in deed a proud, an enviable one. He had set an example to the South, and to every Republican within its bounds, which, it was thought would be imitated, whenever necessity required it, in all future time. And he now, in the letters we this day publish, re-iterates principles upon which he based State action, when he represented Georgia in 1825. Now. in his eighty-fifth year, with all the vigor of his earlier life, he warns the South. He tells it, thal he “is amazed at the opposition to the present administration, especiadu in the Sm/Aern country. He compares it with \\ ash ington's. J, tforson’s. and Polk’s, and savs that it is “the least exceptionable” of the three, and. indeed, “of all we have ever had.” fn sum. ing Is (the adviinistr ition’s) whole course, tree iroiii the excitement and thirst for office of demagogues | ■of all parties, h* tells the people, tha there is re-1 ally nothing to find fault with, and that opppsi-1 aion is being made to it. for mere oppositi m’ sake that the ''douthe»>: nni/n'e arc bound bi,\ honor, gratitude. and pat rid to sustain ;/ n-ith all their might.” Voters of Georgia, who is it that Speaks to you. in language hke th •>,-<•. i going 1 Is it tile language of ambition ; [ seeking alter popular favor; one on a “wtlu hum’ after office 1" Or is it the voice ot ~ patriot ■„d and true ; of one who is l ist passing ..wav. and I whose memory will live so long (s \ , State, and a Georgian live notes and hath • being!

But we must close this notice of the opinions ol i this glorious old man, whose genuine patriotism < is not questioned, we feel confident, by any sane i man within the bounds oi our State. OSEPH E. BROWN, ESQ., OF CANTON CHEROKEE. This gentleman is guilty of an unpardonable sin it seems, in the opinion ofsomo ot the Know- Nothing friends of Judge Irwin. He has dared to yield to the wishes of a large number of his political associates, and to his own. if his ene mies will have it so, we care not which, to be come a candidate for .1 udge of the Superior i Courts of the Blue Ridge Circuit, in opposition to the present incumbent! What temerity is | this! And how indignantly is it frowned upon ! by partizans and friends of Judge Irwin I What! I oppose our Judge, our favorite, and our party’s I great leader when divested of the robes of office! And make the Judicial contest tn the Blue Ridge Circuit, a political one 1 Fie upon it, Joseph E. Brown! You and your friends "get out of the way,” and surrender all independence, of thought and action to the Know Nothings, and others of Judge Irwin's friends! Besides, democrats and anti-Know Nothings have nothing to do with the office of Judge—all the talent, independence, and integrity of the learned profession of the law in the Blue Ridge Circuit, rest with your politi cal adversaries, and u democratic .Judge would be an imposition upon the people! Besides. Judge Irwin is an honest man, a good man, and a good judge—therefore, come down, Mr. Brown, and let us alone ! Nqw we have a worn or two to say to all this flummery and gammon in the mouths and press of the Know Nothings in the Blue Ridge Cir cuit- Against Judge Irwin, as Judge, we have not a word in this article to say. But in favor of Joseph E. Brown’s candidacy and election we shall have a little now, and much to say ere that event transpires. In Col. Brown’s case, it ap pears, that the rule of “what is sauce for the goose, is sauce for the gander,” must not apply. Il is sin is, that he is a democrat and anti-know Nothing. Hence, in the Blue Ridge Circuit, he is assailed for being a candidate —his capability and honesty, at thesame time, being admitted— >n the ground that, in electing a Judge, politics should not bear upon the contest. This, we say. is the argument in the Blue Ridge Circuit. Il is .sfzucc there for the Know Nothings. The rea son is plain—the democrats andanti-Know Noth ings are in the majority in that circuit, and can, whenever they please, which we are sure they will do, elect their candidate. Democrats, there fore, and anti-Know Nothings are appealed to, not to make the contest a party one, and sophis try of every dcscirption to sustain their candidate appears, column after column, in the press that sustains Judge Irwin. Here, then, “m sauce for the goose" (we beg pardon of both the candi dates for using such terms as “goose” and “gan der” — W e of course mean nothing disrespectful,) but where ia the “«cuce for the gander" ? Un less the Anti-Know Nothing Democrocy of the Blue Ridge Circuit will it otherwise there will no sauce be hit in the dish for them, nor their candidate. It, (he dish, will be ns clean licked, as ever was dish before. The reader now will mind how odious it is considered in the Blue Ridge Circuit, to make party opposition to J udge Irwin. liemocrata and Anti-Know Nothings must not du this, in that circuit! Such conduct is altogether wrong, and hath an evil tendency ! Well, be it ho, if they will have it so; but what do we hear and see elsewhere in our State ? Let us look at the fol lowing for a moment, democrats and anti-Know Nothings o' the Blue Ridge Circuit ! “The KNOW NOTHING PARTY have nominated D. A. Vason, of Albany, as a candi date for Judge of the South Western Circuit.— They have also fixed upon Willis A. Hawkins, Esq., ot Americus as the candidate for Congress from the 2nd Congressional District.” Now, here is a party, the Know Nothing Par» ty, met for a political purpose, a party purpose. It nominates its candidate for Congress—good! Docsit step here? Not so! It nominates its candidate for Judge*. More “sauce for the goose”! But none for Judge Perkins, the presiding Judge of that circuit. We trust that the Anti-Know Nothings and democrats of the Blue Ridge Circuit will see to itrthat thuy ace not trapped into a false position and seduced by the sophistry of their adversaries* They can elect their candidate if they will, and we doubt not that they will do so. Without any disparagement of Judge Irwin. Joseph E Brown, will administer the law. if elected Judge, us much ♦o tho satisfaction of the people, and as strictly in accordance with justice and equity as Judge Ir win, ot any other Judge. He is by them; with thorn; of them; and one of them. That they will rally around and sustain him. we have every confidence. A STRANGE QUERY. We find the following in the Chronicle 4- Sen tinel of the 22d inatant: .Wr. Editor;— l desire, through the medium of your paper, to ask the following question of any one who may possess the information;—Has any Catholic Priest (who has come to this country from a ioreign laud) ever been known to take tiie oath of Allegiance? U vea—who and when? If not—why?” “NATIVE AMERICAN.” If we arc net mistaken, the query will he.af (irmathely answered al! over the Union. We are advised that the late Bishop England always exercised the right of suffrage in Charleston, South Carolina. He wasnt ' fiin ign birth, and did more for the maintenance of Southern Rights than all tin* Know Nothings io the Union. His defence of Southern Slavery, will live when the t.dseiy styled “American Party” will be forgotten or only referred to for its bigotry and intolerance. | But wII “Native American” who puts the query above, inform th<* Chronicle d- Sentinel thutpublishes it. if native born Catholic Priests, or any natives, were i ver required to lake the oath ofallegi uh ' ? Did he, “Native American,’ ever take it? H s query serins to imply that Catholic Prieats, native born, might have done so. I ut those foreign born,or from a “foreign land” never did. No wonder information is asked for. if the writer’s meaning is. what his language purports. Honors to the French— The French corvette. La Caprici- us has arrived at Quebec, and is mak ing great “sensation.” The Capricieuse is the first French vessel of war that has entered the St. Lawrence since the cession of the country, nearly r century ago. A grand reception is to givt n »o Captain Balsizc and suit, by the an thor ities of Quebec. AThliili.inh Incident.—Ou Tuesday the family es .Mr Daniel Warren, resid ing in Boston, were thrown into a state of considerable anxiety by missing their I youngest child, a boy about D months j I old. Shortly afterwards, the passers-bv ! in the street had tlicir attention attracted by a chill's cries, and upon looking up ward, there they sac the Hltie fellow sit-1 ting in the eave trough with l,i * L‘g s ‘| over th • edge. mog ‘‘ perilous positi n The mother bein - j n ’ formed oi' the whereabouts of her child without hesitation or emotion outwardly ascend a the roof, walked deliberately down the steep cud slippery plane, took the boy in her arms, and conveyed him i n wfetybaek tc the attie.

HANGING WOMEN- As our readers are already informed, the case ■ of Mrs. Robinson, the “veiled murderess” is the occasion of considerable excitement, at the North, upon the subject of hanging females ; and, for once we have to say the excitement is predicated upon a justifying basis. The idea of hanging a woman by the neck, is disgusting to enlghtened humanity, and utterly at variance with our j»osi tion of advancement. We are not disposed to innovate upon long established customs, but this js a relic of barbarity so entirely inconsistent with . the enlightened, liberal spirit of the age, that we ■ blush to sv»‘ it clinging to our garments. The objects of Laws, and their penal conse quences are to deter the evil disposed from crime; but we are at a loss to know what possible good can accrue from the execution of a female. On the contrary, su far as our observation goes, there is no doubt that it is an outrage of common de- j rency, having a very questionable moral effect.— ' h is beginning to be understood that public exe- ' cutions have, decidedly an immoral tendency, and | the practice of publicly executing females mus be doubly injurious. And for this reason: all' criminals excite more or less sympathy when b ought out to suffer the extreme penalty of the law, and the public mind naturally revolts at this legalized murder, no matter how just, in the eyes of the. law, the punishment may bp. The conse quences, so far from inducing increased respect. i for the law, are quite the reverse, for the respect , is materially diminished by every such exhibition • i How much more is it lessened when the object • ! of punishment is a weak female ! The death penalty is not administered, because the Mosaic Law has said “an eye for an eye” ; <&<*., but it is because murder is regarded as one; of the grossest outrages, not only upon the per. i son of the victim, but upon the community to . which he belonged, and the perpetration of so hie* nous an offence is considered as an emanation from a heart so depraved as to be dangerous to society. It is to protect society, not less than to punish crime that men are hung. The idea that a female can possibly be thus dangerous to a com munity is simply absurd. The crime of murder is so entirely repugnant to the female mind that we can but regard its commission by a woman as the result of a din cased action of the brain; and in the degree it is so diseased, it is, of course, in that degree irre sponsible. Hud woman the strength of mind ' which men possess, and the consequent power ( to restrain its unnatural impulses, she would then 1 be equally responsible with him for the conse- | quvnees of allowing herself to be. overcome by the fierce passions which prompt such a crime; but not possessing this strength and power of self control natural to man, the application of the same penalties to her that are applied to man, we cannot regard as equitable. Her responsibil ity should be graduated by her strength of mind— any other rule is unjust, and oppressive. The very rarity ofsuch cases, and the extraordinary cir cumstances attending them, prove that the female who commits such an offence against society doe s so under an excitement which amounts to mad ness, and in the proportion that she is insane, she is not amenable tothe Law. • And yet, in view of this, there is upon the ' Statute Book of Georgia (whose proudest boast |is the attention paid to the protection and ad vancement of her daughters,) no discrimination between the man who, with fixed purpose, assas sinates the victim of his hate, and the poor wo man whose wrongs, real or fancied, have excited her to an insane phrenzy in which she takes the life of the foe to her happiness ! It is a burning shame. Physicians well know that nine out of every ten cases of infanticide are directly traceable to what they call eclampsia parturentium— a spe cies of insanity ; and yet how many convictions and executions do we hear of for this crime ! It is true that many, many years have elapsed since a woman has been hung in Georgia ; and it is doubtless owing to the unfrequency of the occur rence that public attention has not before l»een directed to the enormity of the practice. But it is time that the question was discussed, and we hope to see some action taken upon the subject by the next Legislature. What say our brethren of the press ? DEMOCRATIC ANTI-KNOW NOTHING MEETING IN DeKALB. We have hern requested to insert the commu nication over the signature. “Many Citizens,” which we do with pleasure. The most important issue before the people is that made by the self styled “American Party,” and we want ail true Americans to rally and do battle against them, and for the ( onstitution and the country. It is certainly expedient and proper to invite the aid and co-operation of all, call them by what name we please, to effect the desired object. We therefore cordially give place to the ! communication referred to, and believe that it j will be approved by the democracy of DeKalb.— i In so doing, however, it is not our intention to reflect upon the notice to which the communica tion refers, as being placed on the Court House door. That was proper in itself; “Many Citi zens” only embraces a wider range. From V\ kshinoton.—The United States Court of Claims was engaged on Thursday in perfec ting the rules of proceedings. About 140 cases have been docketed. The Court, it was thought, would adjourn that day, to meet on the 17th o* October, in one of the rooms of the new wing of the Capitol. On Friday Judge Gilchrist was ill, and no ses sion of the Court of Claims was held. The Government has been giving much atten tion tjiis week to the subject of the protection of Ironticrs, in order to prevent Indian hostilities ; Some difficulty has been experienced in selec- ■ ting a new Commissioner for the Land Office.— i Hence the delay in filling the present vacancy. | General Echinique, Ex-President of Peru, has arrived al Washington.

National Duard-—Royalty under Dijjieultu s Beauty and the Beast—t'opulor Music—For eign Artistes etc. New York, July 20 1855. Tiie growing importance of the • United States, ;is a country, ami New York as a city, is acknowledged by the Ire-• quentarrivalsof celebrated characters—Ar- i tistes, Singers, Actors, and others who. make engagements here for the amuse-! meat of our people first, and then lor the secondary consideration, of stuffing their j attenuated purses. The advent of MBo. i Rachel, the French Tragediene is much talked ot, in upperteudom, and in elite ; circles amongst the newsboys. As every-1 thing was “Jenny Lind” so noir is every-I thing “Mlle. Rachel;” and as her per-| foruiance will consist entirely of pieces • ' written in the h'rench language, those who I have only an imperfect knowledge of it 1 are hurrying to acquire what will enable • I them to appreciate her recitations. A , little trick of management has been re i sorted to to give the affair a greater eclat: an engagement is published as existing be tween herself and her Brother by which he is obligated to pay 81200 for each perform ance, to the number of 200, to take place in the United States, Havanna or South i America; he paying all the traveling i and incidental expenses. The whole as- ■ fair looks very like a humbug—more like j a copartnership bait than a bona fide con- I tract of management. The late anniversary of our national j Independence seems to have inspired • some of our city Fathers with an unusual i degree of veneration for defunct heroes, ' and a corresponding desire to build up ; monuments to their memory. A resolu tion has passed the Board of Aidermen to erect an obelisk to the memory of Gen. Worth, to be placed in Fifth Avenue, at ; its intersection with Broadway. It is de i signed to have a simple granite column, I with the names of the battles in which the General thus sought to be distinguished, was engaged ; and an equestrian figure representing him in uniform, cut in relief. It will be a diminutive affair, some thirty feet high perhaps, and likely to impress j the stranger that the General lies hurried i beneath the cobble stones Such a mon- I ument would be appropriate for a ceme [ tery, but will look but meanly in Fifth Avenue, A bronze statue should have been chosen, by all means—one worthy the memory sought to be perpetuated; but such a little shaft of granite is an insult to his friends, and only a monument to the pasimonious spirit of the Board. Some of the members of the same body favored the appropriation of a part of the Battery to the erection of an obseavatory by Mr. Latting who with a spirit of econ omy, and patriotism commingled, propos, ed to build an Iron Tower 600 feet high, to be called a Washington Monument where people can be hoisted up by Steam to see this great country at 25 cents a head, ice and lemons extra. “ Shades of the almighty’’ &c. The National Guard, our crack Military Company, returned on Saturday from their encampment at Kingston. It was their intention to give a Grand Ball, but in con sideration of a shocking accident which happened while they were in camp, it was deferred. They had been engaged in tar get exercise, and afterwards tiring by vol lies with blank cartridges. A woman who was sitting some distance in front of the line was severely wounded, and her infant, in her arms, shot through the head i by a ball which by accident had been mix ed with the blank cartridges. A collec tion of over a thousand dollars was iinme . diately taken up, and presented to her hus band, with expressions of regret. Os course the wounds physical and mental . are robbed of pain by its magnificent </o«- , cer, and the soothing palliation of one of the grossest pieces of carelessness on re cord. I During the latter part of the week, an individual in military costume presented himself at one of the police stations, and gravely informed the captain, that he was ■ Prince Albert, consort of Queen Victoria, and that he had just arrived in a packet, having been obliged to fly from England i in consequence of a revolution. He add ’ ed that the next steamer would bring news , confirming his statement. The captain, being'an ignorant fellow, and little ’ac quainted with Royalty, was skeptical, and refused to accord to the Prince the honors due such a distinguished personage ; but humanely gave him lodgings forthe night in a dwelling once before occupied by an- l other of the crowned heads of Europe. The idea of having a daguerreotype gallery of beauty is not an original one with Barnum, as many have supposed.-* Within a block of his, museum, there ln& been a collection of pictures, (on a smaller scale than he proposes) which cannot be surpassed, on exhibition for three months. Tastes differ very materially as to styZe of beauty, some taking one model as a stan dard, and others a widely different one; . but all will agree that the chief beauty of a picture is in naturalness of expression. Nothing gives the daguerrotypist or the painter more trouble than the assumption of an unusual expression by the object of the pictnje, and hence the large num ber of tine daguerreotypes that have little or no resemblance to their original. But this gallery seems to have been gotten up with especial reference to securing the ; happiest expression of the prettiest faces. | Visitors to Barnum’s temple of humbug before voting for the paemiums should see ; this collection—which has this virtue ; i they will not be blazoned to the world in that vainest of all conceits, “The Book of i Beauty In the upper part of the same building ;is another collection not less interesting, though, perhaps, less handsome, it is oc cupied as the News Boys School and I Lodging Rooms, where Mr. Tracy the Superintendent, exhibits an unique col-1 lection of News Boys, in their natural I j state affording a fine study for physiogno- ■ mists, and a fruitful field for philanthrop-: ists- No charge for the entire exhibi-! tion Labor-saving machines always meet with violent opposition from the ignorant. • and the one in operation here for cleaning I the streets has already been the occasion j of the assemblage of one indignation meet- ’ I ing, composed of that usually phlegmatic , j class, yclept Street sweepers, who former- : •ly devoted one third of th time paid for j by the city, to sweeping, and the remain , der to smoking dirty pipes foi the gratifi -1 aaiivt* of passers The new broom sw t :eps time!*] ones congratulate them clean, s.. ortrosratives. selves that their r ' -'•reeutih" their pipes are still left them; a«. more nervous however, predict the 1 not far distant when the city Fat’ “will be after getting up some d and then faith, they increase the immi gration and no mistake, for as Mr. Shake speare, a mighty line jentieman, says i “old fellow’s occupation gone intirely” and , ami will have to take up our pipes and j trot.” It is said that Revolutions commence by introducing the revolutionizing ele ment into popular music, if so we certainly | have cause to fear for the safety standardof i the Union.

Now, in the present state of Parties in Georgia, the above call is not considered sufficient to include ail who intend to act with us. The only organized Parties in the State being the Democratic Party, and the so called American Party, (alias Know Nothing) and there are men who were formerly whigs who do not intend to join the Secret order, and yet do not feel themselves included in the term Demo cratic Party, and for the purpose of giving all such an opportunity to act at once with us, we cordially invite them to meet with us on sale day in August next, at Decatur, and participate in the meeting to select candidates; requiring no other test than that they Intend to vote for the nominees; and with a view to an under standing upon this subject you will please give this a place in your paper and oblige your friends MANY CITIZENS. ::a<uv Fitzpatrick on Know Wohlitgimn* The Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser and Gazette, in its issue of the 7th inst., pub lishes an able letter from Senator Eitzpat rickon the subject of Know Nothingism. This letter was drawn out by a com muni tion requesting Governor Fitzpatrick to give publicity to his views. We extract the following paragraphs from Governor Fitzpatrick’s excellent letter: In reference to the Know Nothing or American party, I am ignorant of their • aims and object, except as they have been promulgated in the public press. If their object is to maintain the rights of the States, their equality in the Union, their powers from consolidation, a strict con strution of the Constitution, or to enforce purity of administration, these are Dem ocat'c arms, and 1 have no occasion to form a new political connection under wew forms for such purposes. If their object is to introduce religion into politcal discussion, and to make war upon any religious de nomination, then I should regard this as unconstitutional and dangerous to the peace of society. If their purpose is proscription, in any form, of any class of persons, or to limit the rights, actual or consequential, of any citizen of the State; this, too, I consider unconstitutional. It they wish merely to modify existing laws, to suit an existing evil, 1 see no reason to create a new party on a basis so narrow. The foes of the South now are not of the foreign popula tion of the country. Gur enemies are of our owu household—the Abolitionist ahd Free soilers of the North. The South has more to fear from the thousands of preachers and abolition lecturers, banded together in the free States, than from pope and his College of Cardinals, with all their proselytes in the Union. The Message of Governor Reeder to the Kansas Legislature announces that the population of the Territory amounts to 3,383 females and 5,133 males. The Governor contends for the right of the people to settle their own affairs, uninflu enced by the other States, and says that' the Territorial Legislature may act on the question of slavery to a limited extent,: and temporarily regulate it. He directs ' attention to the definition of the bounda- ' ries of the counties and the qualification I of voters. He recommends that a strin-' gent liquor law be adopted on account of the Indians. He thinks that a light tax | only is required, and contends that pre emptions maybe taxed He recommends the immediate establisment of the sent of government. The Legislature fixed upon the Shawnee Mission as the tetuporury seat of government. The Governor vetoed the measure, but the Legislature overruled the veto and adjourned to meet at the !

Troup. Valdosta, July 4,1855. Dear Sir:—Your arc quite welcome j to do as you please with anything of mine I you may have in possession, provided you ; think good may come of it I have neither taste, inclination or spir-1 its for controversial polities, but am not-' withstanding, far from being indifferent' to the welfare of our country. It'a word from me could subserve its interest in ; | any sense, it would not be wanting. We I see with different eyes, or I would be amazed i at the opposition to the present adminis ! (ration, especially in the Southern coun ! try.* The present is in truth the least exceptionable of all the administrations we have ever had, Gen. Washington’s, Mr. Jefferson’s and Mr. Polk’s not ’excepted. Peopie seem to be opposed to it because there is really nothing to find fault with. The Southern people are bound by honor gratitude and patriotism to sustain it with all their might. Catholic Church and Eorehjn emigration are mere pretences; the administration has nothing to do with either. The first lias existed at all times without complaint; thesccond has noton ly existed, but has been almost uniformly encouraged by people and government, and now a party is formed to destroy the administration because it will not destroy the Roman Catholics and put down the foreigners. This is not to be believed. The true grounds of opposition are Ist. The very small number of offices at the disposal of the President, when compared with the very great number of those who seek them, 2d. The faithful and unfal tering integrity with which the public treasure is guarded against the thieves who prowl by night and by day to break in and steal; and 3d. The inflexible courage with which the President, in de fending the Constitution defends the dear est rights and most sacred interest of the South. The most formidable poweragainst the administration, is the party occupying the latter ground ; and what a spectacle is here presented for the Southern country I Mr. Pierce and Mr. Hale both from New Hampshire; the one an honest man; the other a bigot, fanatic and abolitionist' — What a contrast! What effulgence!— What blackness! And yet there are Southern men acting with the latter to humble and prostrate 'the former and with scarcely any better pretext than that the for mer had appointed to two conspicqous offices twoprominentraen,ojiefailingin his duty, and the other doing his with honor and advantage to the country. Mistaken and deluded men ! Our very safety depending on union amongourse’v. s, they would sow discord and division Our highest inter est depending on the veto, they would take the veto from Mr. Pierce to bestow it on Mr. Hale, or Mr. Anybody. Such men seek to restore the administration of the past, when speculation and plunder, and swindling were the order of the day in every administrative department, and when the only security of the public against ra pine and spoliation, was the exhaustion and beggary of the treasury. Very respectfully, dear sir, G M TROUP. Dr John G Slappey, Newton, Ga. P. 8 The President has had nothing to do with the disgraceful bidding for the Presidency going on for some time in the Senate of the United States, where the public lands and the public offices have been offered to any or everybody who had a vote to give, and any or everybody might be qualified to vote. * Elected a vast majority oi his countrymen, in a manner most honorable to himself, he is threat ened with overthrow by a majority almost as for midable, for (as I think) not even plausible rea sons. 11 This Church is more innocent now, in the eyes of all Protestant sects, than it has been be fore for two hundred years, and there is not be neath the sun a finer people than the people of Maryland, who are made to fall under the com mon proscription. Valdosta, Laurens Co, Ga, ) 29th October, 1850. j Dear Sir :—lt would have afforded tne great pleasure to have been able to comply with your very reasonable and patriotic re quest, but it is rendered impossible for the following reasons, which I trust will prove satisfactory to you and my other friends. Ist I am decidedly averse to appearing in the public prints. 2d I have repeatedly of late declined compliance with similar applications. 3d With very great reluctance, I had consented to the publication of a letter to a gentleman of Mobile, on the same subject, which I saw afterwards in the newspapers, and which contained my de- I liberate and unchangeable sentiments, both in regard to the grievance and the remedy —to which of course I would add or sub tract nothing. It is true, that since the date of that letter, acts have been passed by Congress which have been called a compromise of the agitated questions, but still my opin ions remain the same, and it would be idle repetition and waste of words to offer you the same substance dressed in different language. i Congress has merely consummated a ■ scheme conceived and begun by the Exe i cutive, in fraud, falsehood and trickery, and has effectually excluded you from ev- I ery square foot of Territory acquired from ; Mexico, and 40,000 square miles taken 1 from Texas besides, as they had enacted I the Wilmot Proviso, word for word, and ! they have done this without violating the letter of the Constitution—nor would they have forborne the Wilmot Proviso, word for word, had they not believed that the law of God and the law of Mexico had effectually done the same thing without it. Now. if Congress had enacted the Wil mot Proviso, and had aboisbsd slavery in ' the District and the slave trade between ■ the States, and had made the first move to abolish slavery in the States I could ; have advised nothing more or less than I ' ! advised in that Mobile letter. I would 1 have rejoiced if I had had the power, to call you to arms, but even in that case, you would have had none. I therefore advis ed the arming of the Southern States without delay—a good musket and bayo-' net in the hand of every man capable of! using it, and good parks of atillerv, well affinaneed and well trained, volunteers, Ac., Ac-, in all of which yuuare deficient.. i know of but one State this side of the' Potomac that is not so—it is South Caro-1 lina. If S. C shall unhappily resolve to secede alone, she will be able to fight al good fight—if cloven down she will fall! with honor. If any one believes there can be dissolution withoutthe most bloodv : contests he deceives himself, and he who i is best armed is likely to be most success- i ful. For dissolutiod, two things arc necessa ry—lst. The WiU.—2d. ' The Carolina is the only State having the Will, and the only one having any pre paredness to carry that will into effect. — In every other State there i.- neither the oue er the other. Some ol the States are almost to a man satisfied with what Con gress has done—all the rest are divided. j Their Representatives and Senators have ; divided ; with respect to Georgia, none can tell on which side a uiajooity is, either for submission or resistance. 1 would consider it extremely unwise and impru- j dent to dissolve, unless a majority ot the , States of coterminous boundaries could be formed into a confederacy sufficiently strong to resist all foreign aggression. I t would be exceedingly desirable that all : ! the States having identical interests should j join in the same Confederacy, but I would I i not wail for this if the enemy continued to I i force the separation. All remedies short of force or conven tional agreement 1 reject—every other remedy, whether of non-intervention or restrictive duties, or discriminative taxes on trade and commerce, is unconstitution al, and until weare driven to the last alter native, I wish every unconstituional move ment to proceed from the North. I wish our people to be on the side oi' morality, good foith and the Constitution, until that alternative is offered. Violations of the Constitution admit degrees,” uud 1 • would abstain from following the example of the North. Let her go on in the ca reer of violation until she has heaped so many coals of fire on her head, and then present to her the bayonet with a good ■ conscience, and with an energy that will make her, if not a friend, a better and .a I more honest neighbor. ' Nothing is more easy, if you will per- j ! mit yourselves, than to be drawn into an i I experiment of remedies that are extra cou-1 ! siitutional- They exelude you from Ter i ritories which are as much yours as theirs ' —may you not exclude Northern men ■ from Territories which are exclusively : yours ? Northern men exclude your property from California and the Territo j ries—may not you exclude their property | from the boundaries of Georgia ? On a I principle of retaliation you would be justi | liable, but you would not be justified by ! the Constirusion. A voluntary non-intercourse would be ! trood and might bo remedial, but this would require a unanimity forwhich there lis no hope—less than unanimity would dc i feat it—discriminating taxes violate the | Conssitution, because Congress have ex ' elusive power to regulate commerce be | tween the States, and the regulation of commerce does not mean destruction, but encouragement, and now, sir, I have only to repeat, for the hundredth time, and for all that time unheeded, there is no rem edy for our present grievance but armed States, bidding defiance and presenting such array that the one party must with draw from its unjust pretensions, or the other assert its rights of equality and in dependence. Whether continued aggres sion—resistance to or repeal of the Fu- I gitive Act, or something worse, will rally ! the people of the South and bring them to i think and feel and act like brothers, rc | mains for the future to disclose. In the meantime we have thrown ourselves upon a Convention, and it will become good cit izens to abide its action. [laving thus presented my general views ,in as few words as I could employ to | make myself at all intelligible, I trust you I will see in those few an additional reason why they should not be published. They proclaim our weakness by proclaiming our divisions, and thus encouraging the North Ito proceed in her course of aggression, I which is what the enemies of the Union • desire and the friends of Union deplore. • No State can act with safety in the direc | tion of dissolution without a majority gtrong enough to expel the non-contents and drive them into the arms of the | enemy. Very respectfully, dear sir, G. M. TROUP, Dr. John G. Slappey, Newnan, Ga. •The effects and consequences of different vio lations may be very different, but whilst in the Union, every wilful violation is criminal. From the Pennsylmmian. Another Scrap of History. How we like to travel back through the musty records of our own country, to discover how every page makes against the terrible innovations of Know Noth ingism! In November, 1784, the Leg islature of Maryland passed an act, the I title of which is as follows:—An act to I naturalize Major-General the Marquis de Lafayette and his heirs male progeny for ever ! A thousand years hence, there may be a million of males living in Europe with the blood of Layfayette in their veins. What if they should all come over the water and settle in Maryland, and claim te be citizens, as they really would be, with out the usual probation ? Thoughtless Maryland—don’t you already tremble with apprehonsion at the thought of such an irruption of foreign Americans ? But Virginia—she too has done the same i thing I In fact her act of Assembly pre- I ceded that of Maryland, and the two are ostensibly the same. What is to become of our country? The foreigners will take it away from us, unless we repeal the two acts alluded to, and substitute the doc trines of the Secret Order! But how supremely ridiculous it is for an Order which puts foreign born citizens that never have been naturalized upon their tickets, and cry out other against citizens of foreign birth; who have been natural ized ! Let us sec what the Legislatures of Virginia and Maryland did say The preamble of the act we omit: ‘•Be it enaated by the General Assem bly of Maryland, That the Marquis de Lafayette, his mail heirs forever, shall be and they and each of them are hereby deemed, adjudged and taken to be natural born citizens of this State, and shall ' henceforth be cniitlcd to all the immuni ties, rights and privileges of natural born i citizens thereof, they and every one of i them conforming to the Constitution and ■ laws of this State, in the enjoyment and I exercises of such immunities, rights and ■ privileges. ’ There, now what do you think of Vir- I giniaand Maryland after that, ye Know | Nothing croakers? Os course your wounds are too recent, obtained in Virginia, to think much of her. But what of Mary land ? Watchmen, what of the night in : which ye are shrouded ? Glorious old j Guttenberg—thy types are the mirrors of 1 the past, and everywhere hold up for the folly of Know Nothingisi*! Infidels of the dark lantern— (lo tell the Night th it hides thy face, Thou saw’stthe last of Adain’a race. On Earth’s s< pulcbral clod, I The darkening universe defy, To quench hia immortality, Or shakcjlus trust in God. ; i If a email l.oy be celled, « lad ieit propc i ( For the Daily Examiner.] Khqulry from WlilUh-hl. Messrs /i'/rtori: A How me to trouble you with an enquiry or two, to be answered for the benefit ol the voters of Whitfield The first, enquiry is: Who j H this U. 15. Wellbcurne,the KinVNothing Candidate for the Semite ? Is he the Methodist preacher who lives in Dalton ; who goes to Church on Sabbath and asks the peo ple for money for missionary purposes, to spread the gospel and save poor sinners? Who gives those wretched accounts of the poor Roman Catholic Irish who arc wrap ped in the chains of Popery, where the true Protestant religion can never reach them ? Ob ! how his heart bleeds at.the thought of those poor sinners who are subject to the tyrannical Pope ; who bow to his will, wrapped in popish robes, from which they cannot extricate themselves; who are crush< d by the monster iron will that coils itself around their consciences, fusing into them the poison of its hatred to this government! Ohl cruel thought!! Well, what next will he have you to do ? Oh ! for Heaven’s sake join the Know Nothings! What for? Oh the Catholics are ruining the country ! Have nothing to do with them. He would swear you to eternal hatred against these same poor devils for whom he has so long been asking you for money to enlighten and save ! He would have you deprive them •of all religious rights and liberties ! And why, because they are guilty of the awful sin of being born in Ireland, and of being Catholics. Remarkable consistency ! There are some of his brethren who are foreigners—he can meet them in the pul pit, take them to his arms, and press them to his bosom as dear brothers; can take them in full fe lowship as Christians.— And yet he will tell you not to trust these righteous men; that they will swear to untruths, and are unworthy to be trusted with office ! He can live in full fellowship with him, however, impure and intriguing as they are! Save us from such political religion I Is C. B. Wellbourne the Mayor of the city of Dalton ? Oh yes! He is a very strong man, certainly—he must be—was he not elected Mayor ? And a fine officer he makes— for his party ! When Know Nothings fight, and get drunk, and curse upon the streets, he never hears of it. I am sorry he never heard thut Bill Jolly and Shields fought, as he has been a good, faithful officer, and always inflicted proper penalties, as some of our country friends know. It is not surprising he did not, however, as they arc all know nothings, and of course say nothings ! 1 would suggest that Mr. Wcllbourne resign his office, while he is a candidate. He has not. reported the state of the Treasury yet, and it would consume too much of the time his candidacy demands • he will be too busy electioneering in this exciting canvass, to keep good order—be. sides he will be abs’ent so much. I doubt not the people are often struck with amazement to see Mr. Wellbourna march out to a justice’s court with a crowd of street bullies, from this place, in attend ance as a body guard. The people of this county are not so very riotous as to require the assistance of constable McCarson, to suppress them. If you cannot carry your point by fair argument, you cannot by fighting; you never can drive the boys. Messrs. Wellbourne & J oily are a plenty to fight the Catholics in this county. We only have about twelve of them and they are all very peaccble men. But I suppose they are afraid of the shadow of the Irish Catholic, as they* vi<»w it, magnified to alarming seen by the light, of •d dark lantern from some hole in the ground. If half the county was Irish, they could not muster more bullies. Will the people of Whitfield vote for a man who is afraid to leave town without a body guard of fighting men ? Oh yes I vote for Wellbournc. He is a preacher, wears fine clothes, and carries a fine cane. He stands upon his dignity and will command respect. And, let me whisper, he’ll flatter the Millcdgcvilliaus into almost anything— when he is elected! They say Treadwell is only an honest farmer. For once they tell the truth, he is an honest farmer, not familiar with the tricks of the day, and may be relied upon to do right. He is no office seeker, who makes his living from party spoils. They could not have complimented him more highly than by saying “he is only an hon. est farmer,’’ notwithstanding they applied the term contemptuously. No doubt they hold honesty in contempt, and regard far mers as inferior to broad cloth and fine cane gentry ! One more enquiry. Can the people of Whitfield vote for such a man ; who won’t trust a Church brother any more than a negro ? “Render unto Caesar the things that are Ctcsar’s !’’ He has them supplied from an infant’s ■ SHROUD. CijjrThe Hon. John H. Wheeler, U. S. Ambassador to Nicaragua, while on board the New York steamer, at Walnut street wharf, Philadelphia, on Wednesday on his way to Now York, had three of his slaves seized and taken from him by a mob of negros, on tiie ground that, having been voluntarily brought to Philadelphia, they were entitled to their freedom. L'assmorc Williamson, a well known member of the Pennsylvania Anti-Slavery Society, was on Thursday, charged in the United States District Court with heading the mob, and Judge Kane issued a writ, re quiring him to produce the slaves.
