FRIDAY. AUGUST 10, 1856. Reeder Removed, The President has removed Reeder from his position as Governor of Kansas, and appointed John L. Dawson, of Pennsylvania, in his place. This last named gentlemen was an efficient mem ber of the last Congress, aud a warm advocate of the Kansas and Nebraska Bill. A most ex cellent appointment this of President Fierce; one that can hardly fail to please every right thinking Southern man. as we feel confident it does such men as Bright, Douglas, Richardson. Shields, and a thousand others in the anti-sla very States. N ow that the removal has been made, it may be well to go buck to the period of his appoint ment, and to enquire what just ground the op position had, to abuse the President for making it. If a man's antecaiente. in politics, and mor als, have auy thing to do with the act of con ferring office upon him—-and, wcopine, few will deny such a proposition—then the President, and the Senate that confirmed the appointment, stand blameless for appointing this man Reeder. Governor of Kausas. One of our Georgia Sen ators. who should be good authority iu a case of this kind, has stated that he presented us clean a record, so far as the interests of the South were courerned. as auy man: and that the ujs poiutment was esteemed, by the Senate, a good ow. It turned out. however, that Reeder de ceived, not only the President, but his political ■ friends, and that he literally sold himself to the enemy. Like the traitor. Arnold, he was de tected in making an unworthy use of the trust confided to him. by speculations in public lands and other acts, all oi which were exposed by the Commissioner of I nd'.mi Affaiis, whoarrningned him before the Government, at Wushiugtou. pending which, he formed an id >.<uce with tiie frec-soilers and abolitionists It was always our opinion that the President did right in delaying to remove Reeder until Ute charges preferred against him. by an officer of the Government, had been duly investigated. But be this, as it may, no ow can condemn the call for hL remo val that proeealed from the slave States. And it is with pleasure, we so? thut he has been de capitatalst a time when he was making loud demonstrations iu favor of the Southern side ot the quration in the territory. Hi* esleofhim self to the abolitiouLts did not last long Anti he. who. ere he sought office, was esteemed a correct, aud honorable man. now stands a dis graced man before the anintry.

Soiree at the Atlanta Hotel, i At this Hotel, on Wednesday evening last, one of Kesler's delightful Soirees came off, in fine style. It was largely attended by the belles and beaux of this city, and complimented with the presence of beauty und accomplishments rare and attractive from a distance. Our own Cap itol, and neighboring towns, Griffin and Deca tur, were handsomely represented there; and we must not forget to say that the Capitol of our sister State, Tennessee, may well boast of the accomplished representative that graced by her presence the festival. Well done, friend Kesler! A few more such, I and who knows what happy results will follow ? Atlanta Medical College. The Commencement of the “.-Esculapean Society of the Atlanta Medical College,” was well attended on Thursday night last, quite a large number of ladies and gentlemen being present. This society was organized in Mjy last. Its officers are Dr. Willis F. Westmoreland, President. Dr. M. H. Oliver, Vice President. Mr. J. K. Jones, Secretary. Mr. Neely, of Campbell county, delivered the Valedictory, which was highly commended by all who had the pleasure of hearing it. Diplo mas, or testimonials of merit, were then con ferred by the President, upon the members of the Society; after which, in the absence of Dr. Griggs, who, it was expected, would deliver the commencement address, Dr. Jones, one of the Professors of the College, delivered an appro priate and instructive address, although called upon suddenly to do so, to the society. We regret our inability for the want of both time and space, to say more in regard to an event of so much interest to the gentlemen atten ding the Medical lectures in our city. The Meeting at Jonesboro. We attended a large meeting of the Democ racy of Fayette, at Jonesboro, on Thursday, Much good feeling prevailed, and Sam kept close during the day. Col. L. J. Glenn opened the discussion in a masterly review of the principles of the Ameri can party, and commanded the undisturbed at tention of the large meeting for near two hours in the calm, dispassionate expose of the rotten ness of that party. We regret thut our space, and the late hour at which we write, prevent a more detailed account of his speech. Suffice it that it was worthy its author. Rev. Wm. Mosely followed, at length, and in his characteristic style went over the whole ground, administering some wholesome rebukes to the order. His effort had a gratifying effect upon the audience, who seem to regard the ven erable champion of State rights and religious toleration, with peculiar favor. Mr. Gaskill closed with a short but pointed speech upon the political questions of the day, ' which was favorably received. The whole affair went off well, and if “Sam” was about, he did not show his face. Fayette is right side up. To the Public. Wc cannot too highly recommend to the fa- j vorable consideration of the publie, an enter-! prise undertaken by Dr. Newton R. Fleming of this city. Dr. Fleming is now editing a .1 ourtuil of Health, entitled “Fleming's Southern Hygienic Journal,” devoted exclusively to hu man health, and the prolongation of life. # At Idle this work affords a species of practical' knowledge to be gained no where else in the journalism of the country, in reference to the great laws of life; there will be found from time to time in its pages,a freshness of thought, an original scope of idea, upon all the great sub- j jects ol Hygiene well calculated to interest the • reading world. Dr. F. from his varied learning, his practical experience in the Medical profession, is well qualified for this noble enterprise. We have been favoured with the August number of this Journal,and after a careful perusal of its pages we cannot too highly commend it to our fricn ds everywhere. There is no subject more highly interesting to community, than human Health— than the elevation of man's moral and physical nature. The world needs much information upon this great and important subject ; and we 1 know of no publication in our country, where! community would be more likely to have its wants supplied. It is a Southern enterpeiac ; Dr. Fleming is n native Georgian : and looks mainly to his Southern friends for patronage. Every family every young man in the land, ought to subscribe for this work. Ita editorial is conducted by a gentleman of the highest order of intellect, and we predict for it uupreeideuted success. 3am HAS Ills MISGIVIxOfI. The Charlestown Free Press, devo ted champion of “Sam," has the following gloomy paragraph: • Tiie folly of their opponents often re stores to ’he democracy the ascendency which the faithlessness and corruption ot their leaders had lost. Just so it is likely to be in the next Presidenttai canvass, un less the great body of conservatives in the ■ country shall unite upon some scheme of sound national policy. In the late Know i Nothing convention at Philadelphia a pro : position was adopted which must nnquef , j tionable defeat the opposition, and give ageendency again to the democracy. It , | is the proposition to insist upon the restor ‘l at’.on ot the Missouri Compromise—a tnat ’ j tertotally impracticable, exeept ’n sectional 1 grounds, which must destroy the Union I itself Ex-Governor Johnston seems to - have been the master-spirit in this niove l merit, and he will effect precisely the same j result, which be did in 1552 by the intro . duction of the slave question." Big Duran.—A big Indian was found on a | big drunk iu St. Charles street, making a big j row in the native American language, calling everybody he met a d—d foreigner, and swear ing vengeance against the entire pale-face tribe. r The Recorder ratMtd him this worainf whtu b« got sober. “ ERROR CEASES TO BE DAKGEROUS, WHEN REASON IS LEET EREE TO COMBAT IT.”— Jefferson. ATLANTA. GEORGIA. FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST 10, 1855. The Meeting at Cartersville. We took dinner with “Sum" at Cartersville i on Wednesday last, in company with a largt s number of his disciples, and a very considerablt i proportion of Democrats, attracted there by tin ' flamingannouncement of the“bigguns” that were ■ to be let off on the occasion. In this, however, ■ all were disappointed, asthe said “big-gutis” did ‘ not make their appearance ; and iu Iced the af ' fair was altogether unsatisfactory, not to say a failure, so far as the speaking was concerned. The speaking wat? opened by a half hour’s ad dress from Maj. Mark A. Cooper, who was al lowed to explain that reported “bargain” be tween himself and the powers that be, upon the State Road. He did so to the satisfaction of every unprejudiced mind that heard him; though his remarks were subjected to the most unfair and illiberal constructions by the speakers who followed him. Judge Cone followed in a long-winded, vitu perative attack upon the administration of Gen eral Pierce, in which he took occasion to rake up many statements which have long since been nailed to the counter as untrue, and which even the bitterest opposition had ceased to use. We did not hear the whole of his effort, as a heavy shower of rain providentially came up and dis persed the crowd for some time. After the rain he continued his speech, in the same style; ur ging against Mr. Pierce his few appointments of Foreigners to office, aud the appointment of Reeder as Governor of Kansas. These stale charges were dressed in all the horrible colors his diseased imagination could suggest. Such speeches do us no harm, and must chagrin every reasonable member of the American party. Dr. H. V. Miller the “Demosthenes of the mountains,” alias, “Cataline of Rome.” followed Mr. Cone, in kis usual style of misrepresenta tion, and villifiation of the Democracy, aud their candidates. We have before alluded to the ar guments of this gentleman, and have little to add, except that practice seems to make him more perfect in the art of misrepresentation he seems to have studied so carefully, and so long His whole address, on this occasion was for the special benefit of the officers of the State. Road, against all of whom, with a single exception, he seemed to have opened the vials of his wrath with more than ordinary vindictiveness. Ke charged upon them incapacity, frauds, aud a catalogue of crimes that excited our wonder how he, the immaculate, could have been so familiar j with them. But by far the largest share o! • his abuse fell upon the broad shoulders of our : worthy friend, Col. Cowart; nothing he could sry was bad enough for the Colonel, and he worked himself into a fury that was shocking to behold, over the awful sin that Col. Cowart has been guilty of in receiving two thousand dollars per annum in fees from the State Road. We too came in fo.t a share of the untruthful abuse which he showered so abundantly upon the Democracy. Os that part of bls speech we have only this to say: Dr. Miller must have kuown, when he said “ this paper was owned and in part edited by a foreigner and Catholic.” that he was stating an untruth. And yet to revenge himself upon as for the truthful reviews we have heretofore given his speeches, ho mean ly charges what he knows to be untrue, but what he thought would injure the pocket of the proprietor and the popularity of the paper— both, we do not deem it boasting to say, are far above the reach of Dr. Miller, or any other man who descends to such contemptible attacks up on them. Thus he went on, piling allegation upon allegation without a shadow of proof to sustain him. He told the Bible story again, but for once (and we announce it as an aston ishing fact) he had magnanimity enough to drop the Pope's Nuncio, story! not a word did he say upon this subject, which he declared in his speech iu Atlanta, had been mainly instru mental iu exciting his opposition to the admin, isfration. He seems satisfied noir that that particular report was untrue, and as tliat re port induced his opposition to Mr. Pierce, we l expected to see his opposition cease when the cause had been removed. But no! He finds other things, equally false, which he will bold on to. until they too explode in his hands. The i Dr. is unfortunate iu his draughts upon his j fancy for his facts; they .slip through his fin.' gers, and leave him in a most ridiculous posi tion. Col. Tidwell ot' Forsyth followed the modern “ Demosthenes" alias '• Cataline" in much the same style. Ile too seemed to find peculiar pleasure in abusing poor Cowart, aud his whole address was filial with the same kind of charge* without proofs, that characterized Dr. Miller'* He dismissed Jundge Andrews with the siiapie remark tliat lie was “well known to the povple of Georgia.' Wc could not help suggesting he was too well known to lie able to ileceive the people. Mr. Tidwells speech wound up the meeting, much, wc venture to say, to the satis faction of t very one present. Os course there was the usual amount of shouting and fighting, except which, wo saw and heard little that was interesting. The crowd was large, aud we can but tlnuk. were badly treated by the 1 the “big guns" that had teen invited to attend. The latter, however, prefer lairing tho work, it seems, to the “liitleJishes..' The Cleveland papers give an ac count of a discovery, by Dr. Taylor, of that eity, ot a process for the production o! a brilliant light by the decomposition of water The apparatus is said to be wholly unlike that of Mr. Pal.xe, of Worcester. Which attracted so much attention a few years since. Distinguished chemists have examined the process and its results, and pronounce it a triumph. The cost of the apparatus is small, the maehenry simple, and the cost of materials consumed almost nothing.

Editor :—Experience proves that, as I a general rule, no public works pay as well, as ' promptly, and in as many dili’erent ways, as i railromis : and perhaps the Brunswick and I Florida enterprise presents more flattering prospects for becoming a nailing investment I than any similar work contemplated. I This proposition, we think, will be admitted i by the majority of those who bestow upon it | a moments' reflection: but inorder to convince I the more skeptical we will proceed to give a I few “facts and figures” substantiating our asser i tion. i The country through which the road will I pass is rich in various productions which wi.l I seek this mode of conveyance to market.— These products are principally cotton, corn, lumber, stock <tc., which, being of a coarse, bulky character, will pay a proportionately heavy freight for transportation. The annua! receipts of cotton by the eastern section of the road cannot fall short of 250.000 bales. The lumber business is also an item of no in considerable importance. Extensive forests in the neighborhood of the road abound in yel low pine, cypress, white and live oak and other lumber, for all of which there is an increasing demand at home and abroad, for ship building and other purposes. At the lowest estimate there wilt be carried over this line from 25 to 30.000,000 feet of lumber; and in case the na val station is established at Brunswick (of which there is little doubt) the demand for tim-1 ber will become much gi.-.iter. and the business of the road will consequently increase in pro portion. Thus it will be seen that independents' other productions, and of future growth in trade, the two items of cotton and lumber will furnish am-1 pie support for the road. Its local travel will constantly increase as the ; country becomes settled up ; and when it is ex- j feuded, us it eventually will be, to the Gulf, we: venture to predict that no line of railway will j be able to boast of a larger share of travelling, patronage, it must of necessity become a great throuhfare, as it will reduce time between , New York and New Orleans to seventy-five or, eighty hours, aud prove altogether the most desi- j ruble route. We must also recollect that this road will connect with lines, some are building and oth ers projected, in the States of Florida, Alabama and Mississippi; and that it will in consequenee command a part of the trade that now goes to the gulf ports. The saving in interest, insu rance, and freight will make it the channel of conveyance for much of the produce that is .sent back in return, h ean be niluced to a mathe matical certainty that, it wffi be cheaper, safer and more expeditious to forward cotton by this route, than by shipment aronnd the Florida Cape. These facte go to show that this enterjir se must prove directly profitable to the stock holders, so that neither they nor the State (if she engages in it) need have any apprehensions of sinking capital in it. There are other effects that this work will accomplish which ought not to be overlooked. The most prominent of these is the impetus that will be given to the growth and develop ment of the country, for as soon as an outlet to market is furnished it will Ik’coiiic thickly settieil, its agricultural production will be veloped which now lie dormant. When this roatf is built Southern Georgia will attract: much of the emiuigration that is now flowing into Texas and Louisiana, as she will then be able to offer to the emigrants facilities for transportation in addition to the other advan tages of rich land, heavy timber, good water! and salubrious climate. In the twelve counties i of Appling. Camden, Charlton. Coffee, Baker,, Decatur, Worth, Thomas, Lowndes. Wayne, Ware and Clinch, there are only about 300,000 \ acres under cultivation, whilst millions of acres are lying totaly unimproved. It is evident j that the peopling of this vast wilderness is m- j timatqly blended with the prosperity of the; State ; it must also be admitted that the pro-' posed railroad will accomplish this object—can any one doubt then that it is both the duty I and interest of the State to aid in its construe- 1 tion ? The enhanced value that this work will give I to the lands iu its vicinity is another matter of j importance to the State as well as the land holders. Taxes are levied ad volmem — accord- j ing to value, and hence what increases the val ue of real property increases the revenue of th ■ State. As a single ease in point take the fol lowing extract from a Congressional report : -It is estimated by the intelligent president of the Nashville and” Chattanoga Railroad, that the incri'ased value of a belt of land ten mil ’s wide, lying upon each side of its line, is equal to 57.50 per acre, or 96.0001':' <■■■ .■ mile road, which will cost only about 20.000 |s r mile. Now the same facts will apply to the Bruns wick road :c- to the N.vuviile and Ciiatta:u>og., with the single exception that the construction of the for: icr will not cost as much as thut of the latter, by at least 34.000 per mile, us then 1 will be fewer natural obstructions to overcome, and the country presents greater faeilitiin to the economical prosecution of such works.— Taking then the Nashville road as a criterion, and applying the same rule t» the eastern v >■- tion of the Brunswick road, which extends to Thomasville, m i'uomas county. Gu.. an*! we hasT the followiiur results: absoltit’ itirreus<> in the value of lauds for lilOmib-s i5.*15.360,000 : ■•■► st of the road at SIL.OItO per mile. i= 5?2.- 560.000. From this it will be perccivai that the inereas' 4 value of the land is to the cost of the road in the ratio of > x to <mr ,• or in other words that tin read will create a value in its its flue-net! upon real proju rty equal to six times its cost.

We are, however, I regret to say. unfortunate in having too many candidates in the field—there being four Democrats in the ' field, and the so-called “American" party hav ing but two candidates. Notwithstanding this, there is a strong probability of our candidates ‘ coming off victorious, bearing aloft the flag of the Coosa Democracy, which has never yet trailed in the dust of ignoble defeat. The I withdrawals from the party are of daily occur rence ; •• the skies are bright, and brightening." There are many otiiers belonging to the Lodge at this place who have abjured the Know Nothing party, who were not presenton the night of the “burst up.” and who have sent word to those who have signed their names to the resolutions to attach theirs also, but it was deemed liest to wait and let them put their “ sign manual ” to them in proper person. Rockford, Coosa Co., Ala., i July 21st, 1855. ( At a meeting of the undersigned, members of the American party,’commonly called the l Know Nothings, the following resolutions were, adopted: Whereas, we have heretofore been conneet 'ed with said organization at Rockford- as members, having taken the first degree only— 1. Resolved. That we are satisfied, upon due reflection, that the tendency of said order is anti-Repuldiban ; the obligations imposed on its members are contrary to the spirit of Amer ican institutions, aud dangerous to a free gov ernment. i 2d. That the dangers to our institutions al- I legal by the American party us likely to arise ■ from foreign emigration to this country, and ' the existence and increase of the Roman Cath- I olic religion, are. in our opinion, in a great de- I gree imaginary : and if true, as alleged by them, I the power to arrest the same (except so far as ! a ehaitge of the laws of Naturalization i* con cerned) Wongs exclusively to the several States of the Union, to whom alone belongs the power of fixing the qualification of voters and regula ting the t<st for office in their several jurisdic tions. 3d. That as three-fourths, or thereabouts, of the whole foreign population, and their adhe rents of the Roman Catholic religion in the Unital States, reside in the free States, (with their evils if any.) it is in our opinion a question for the consideration of their State governments, and not a practical question for the State of Alabama, and the other Southern States, where j the jwlitieal influence of the emigrant and Cath- i olie is not known. 4th. That in view of tin'’ premises, and be-; lieving that the secret political societies are un-1 necessary and u’neailed for in a land of fra’ dis-. cussiou. even to carry out political principles 1 of vital importance to the country, ire hereby i dissolve all connctlion with the said American ; party; red believing the great be-'■ of those of i our countrymen who have united with said Or- i der through the pride of American feeling have i tieeii prompted by honest motives aud patriotic - views, we would now respectfully and with due , deference submit to them the propriety of calm ly reviewing the doctrines and tendencies of: said organization.

Slavery Uiidezme Cwusiituiwia ; and the Law. Tiie recent outrage committed by the aboil tioniste of Philadelphia upon the person of our , minister to Nicaragua, and the forcible abduc ! tion of his srevauts, in broad daylight, and in tiie midst of a crowd of lookers on, indicate a tone of feeling among a certain class in that city, which must lie a source of regret to all , those whose purer patriotism rises superior L. sectional prejudice. In gre at crisis, it behoviv every true lover of his country to stand by the Constitution, every cause of which was well weighed and thoughtfully considered by those who framed it in the national convention of 178", and was examined word by word, and paragraph by paragraph by the State Conven tions to whom it was subsequently submitted for ratification. In that glorious document, now too freely violated, slaves are recognised, not merely as property, but as forming a con sistent part of the basis of representation in Congress. Being thus recognized as property by the federal compact, being treated as property by the laws of the Unital States, and by the laws of the States in which this species of servitude prevails, they have, ever since, been enumerated in each recurring cemsus, as an element entitled to a limited degree of representation, in accord ance with the fundamental principles which Otis proclaimed, and for which Washington i fought—that "taxation and repreeentation ought ' to go together." In the Congress of 1790 the question was further discussed, on receipt of a memorial from tiie first abolition society of Pennsylvania.- Many eminent members opposed its commit ment, on the ground of unconstitntion—laity. Prominent among these was King, of South Carolina, who contended tliat when the States enteral into political connection, they were in acknowledged possession of this property; that it liad been acquired under a former govern- I ment, conformably to the laws and Constitution, I and that every attempt to deprive the slave I States of it, was a violation of the political I compact. The petition was, however, referred j to a special committee of seven, six of whom I represented States North of Mason and Ihxem’s ■ line. After a month’s deliberation, this com- I inittee reported “That Congress was restrained ) from interfering to emancipate slaves, within ; the States, and had no power to interfere in . the internal regulations of particular States, j relative to tiie physical or moral well being of slaves." These resolutions elicited a long dis ’ cussion, which was finally closed by the adop tion of an amendment to the effect—“ That j Congress have no authority to interfere in the emancipation of slaves ; or in the treatment of I them, in any of the Static ; it remaining with | ■ the several States alone to provide any regula ' tiims which humanity and policy require." This debate was snared in by many of those master minds wiio had assisted to frame the Constitution. It expressed, therefore,not mere-1 ly the opinion of the Congress of 1790, but also of those who were best qualified to judge of the true intent and meaning of the Constitutional provisions, from having aided in framing them —these provisions being still fresh in the mem ory of ail, and the roserval rights of tiie States well understood. If, then, in 1790. the General Government had not the- power to interfere with the institu tion of slavery, it is clear that the General Government of the present day is equally inca pable of doing so. What the General Govern ment cannot do. certainly the free States have no right to attempt; and any effort on the part of citizens of those States, is still less defensible, because it aims to deprive a citizen, belonging to another State, of that which the Constitution and the law of the land, recognize as belonging I to him, and is net only a breach of good faith i but assumes a criminal complexion. What then shall we say of those who daring- j ly set at defiance the Constitution and the laws, by forcibly abducting from an individual that which he I: entitled to possess? To the indi vidual. the act is a glaring wrong. To his State, it is also a wrong, since the abduction of a siugle slave diminishes by so much the repre sentativesuid taxable value of that State, and as the abstraction of a thousand others may follow iii like manner, its remote, but natural consequence, would be, to entail upon the State the loss of a representative iu Congress. If fanatical associations are permitted to exist in the free States, wiiose avowed designs are to kidnap, or entice away, the slave population of the South, what hope ean we have oi preserving, much longer, the Republic from becoming the theatre of internecine discord ! Already the Southern States have borne, with more or less patience, many grievous wrongs; and when they know that their citizens are murdered as at Christiana—robbed and mal-treated—as re cently at Philadelphia; and when they con nect with these outrages, ’he repudiation of the fugitive slave law by tiie legislature of Massa ehusetts, and the numerous lets aud hinderances which are thrown in the way of its easy opera tion in several of the other Northern and East ern States, who can blame them if they threat en retaliatory measures, or who can prophecy wliat will lie the final result '!—Baltimore Pa triot. Look to the Legislature. No num in his senses—not even the most cu-1 thasiastic supporter of Garnett Andrews—be: li'wcs that hi.

Constitution, and the Union. i 11 is a Fact— That the Whig and Know Noth i mg papers in the South are unable to designate i a Kepresentative elected to the Congress or Sen j ate ot the United States, in any one of the tree States by the Know Nothings, that is not a>. , Abolitionist or Freesoiler. It is a Fact— That everv representative from . the free States in the Congress or Senate in the United States that the Know Nothings haveelec , ted, or assisted to elect, is in favor ot the repeal ot the Nebraska bill, and tho repeal or modifica tion of the Fugitive slave law. Tl is a Fact— That the Know Nothing Legis lature of Massachusetts have removed Judge Lor ing, ano able and upright Judge, from Office be cause he decided that the Fugitive slave law— and this same Know Nothing Legislature elected Henry Wilson, an Abolitionists, to the Senate of the United States and the said Henry Wilson voted in the Senate of the United States to re peal the Fugitive slave law. It is a Fact— That the Know Nothings of Wisconsin elected Durkee, an ultra Abolitionist to the Senate of United States. It is a fad — ’iralt the Know Nothing legisla ture of Michigan passed resolutions instructing Gen. Cass and Mr. Stuart, the Senators frnn Michigan, to vote for the repeal of the Fugitive slave law—the Nebraska and Kansas bill. And the same Know Nothing Legislature of Michi gan j>n«ed a law refusing the use of the prisons of the State of Michigan to the officers of the United States government to secure Fugitive slaves. It is a Fact— That the Know Nothing Sen ate of Maine passed resolutions declaring the FugitNc elave law unconstitutional, and demand ing its immediate repeal,—and in favor of abolish ing slavery in the district of Columbia—and de claring that they should never consent to the admission into the Federal Union of any more States with mtistilntioas authorising Slave- It is a sact — That every governor elected by the Know Nothings in the Free States is an Abo litionist. It is a Fact— 'That the grand ouoncils of the Know Nothings in Mnesnchusetts, Pennsylvania and Now Hampshire hare passed strong Abolition and slavery resolutions. It is a Fact— That tho Know Nothings ol the North arc in favor of proscribing all white foreigners and Catholics from Office, and are nt the same time in favor of full civil liberty to Frkr Nkguois. it is a Fact— That the negroes of the North vote with the Know Nothings, and have been I repeatedly complimented for their patriotism in thus voting, by the Know Bathing organs. It is a Fact— That the leaders of the Know Nothings in Kentucky are, or have been Eman cipationists, where ever that question has been agitated, and they dare not deny this state ment. It is a Fad— That the Know Nothing Leg- , islature of New Hampshire have elected that no torious Abolitionist John P. Hale to the United States Senate—and his colleague. Bell, equally as 1 strong an enemy re the South. It is a Fact— That a c rmtnilteo of tho New Hampshire Legislature, to whom were referred the resolution of the Maine Legislature on the ( subject of slavery, has reported in favor of a union of thrlree States to demand the restoration ' of the Missouri Compromise, the abolition of sla-} 1 very in the District of Columbia, the repeal of the ‘ fugitive slave law, and against the admission of; ( any more slave States into the Union. 1 It is a Fact— And a damning one —that in the face of all these facts, the Southern Know Noth ings have the effrontery to elaiin that their party is National, and friendly to the Sonth ! It is a sact — That not one of the facts above ' stated ean be truthfully denied by any Know Nohing or Know Nothing organ of the South. A Know Nothing Organ Revolt ing! The Louisville Courier, late a moat ultra Know Nothing paper, now eomes out from the party. The editor says: “‘No man that has any self-respect or inde pendence-can belong to it twelve months without sacrificing both. It contains features which, sooner or later, mu-t cause every >no who has a particle of manliness in his conqjosition to re volt at the organization and leave it with disgust It is an organization which may suitunacrupul-ius politicians to use for their own seifieh purposes, but it will drive from it all good men, and will in fallibly fail from its own weakness.,’ “The above appeared in the Courier some days ago. In Monday’s paper the editor said he had expected to be bitterly denounced and proscribed but did not anticipate that matters would be car ried to such an extent as lias boon proposed. He says: "We have been threatened that the entire and concentrated power and influence of the order would be used to crush us, unless we yielded our righ's and duties ot a good citizen, and submit ted to the dictation of e set oi men whose only motives are to secure power and place. Our application to withdraw from the order was de nied, because, as a member remarked. *We have got the Courier man just where wc want him- We will not permit him I? withdraw, but will keep his mouth shut until after the election, and then e« wifi expel him and disgrace him!” “ The Courier, ex piweees a determination to •fight it out.’ It says: ’The order has begun war on ns.

Afterwards, in the admin ■ istrution oi the elder Adams, the term oi ' probation was extended to fourteen years; but in 1801 Mr. Jefferson, in his first utes i sage to Congress, uses this language: ' “1 cannot ouiit recommending a revisal of i the laws ou the subject of naturalization, j Considering tbc ordinary chances of human ; life, a denial of oitizehship, under a resi | deuce of fourteen years, is » denial to a i great proportion of those who ask it, and controls a policy pursued from their first I settlement by many of these States, und : still believed of consequence to the r pros t pcrity. And shall we refuse, (continues the j author of the Declaration of ludepend • ence,) shall we refuse the unhappy fugitives I from distress that hospitality which even | the savage of the wilderness extended to I our fathers arriving in this land? Shall oppressed humanity find no asylum on this globe? The Constitution indeed has wisely provided that for admission to certain of fices of important trust a residence rhall be required sufficient to develope character j und design; but might not the general char ; acter and capabilities of a citizen be safely i communicated to every one manifesting u | bona tide purpose of embarking his life and I fortunes permanently among us?"

There was once a farmer who had a large field of corn; he ploughed it and planted the corn, and harrowed and weeded it with great care, and on this fl'ld he de ended for the chief support of hie family. But after he had worked hard, he saw the corn begin to wither and droop for rain, and he began to have fears for his crop. He felt very sad went over every day to look at his corn, and see if there was any hope of rain. One day as he stood looking at the sky, and almost in despair, two little rain drops up in the clouds over his head saw him, and one said to the other : “Look at that poor farmer; 1 fee! sorry for him; * he has taken so much pains with his field of corn, and now it is all drying up. I wish I could do hiut some Hood.’ “k.s,” said the other, “but you are only a little | rain drop, what can you do! You can't even . •vet one hillock.” “Well, said the first, “to be sure I can’t do mueh, but I can cheer the farmer a little at any nite, and lam resolved to do m> best. I'll try I'll go the field to show my good will, if ( ean do no more; and s here I go.” Aud dawn went the rain drop—on. came pat, on the farmers nose and one fell on a stalk of corn. “Dear me,” said the farmer, putting his finger to his nose, “what’s that ’ A rain drop. Where did that come from ? Ido belive we shall have a show er.” . Ihe first ruin drop had no sooner started for the field, than the second one said: “Well, if you are going I believe I w ill go too hero I conio. And down dropped the rain drog on another stalk. By this time a great many rain drops had coin together tobear what their companions were talking about, and when they saw them going to cheer the farmer, and water the corn one said “if you are going on meh a good errand, I II go too," and down became. “And I,' said another ‘and I,’ and so on, till a whole shower came, and the corn was watered, and it grew and ripened, all because the first little rain drop determined to do what it could. Never be discouraged, children, la-cause you ca’nt do much. Du what you can— angi Is can do no more. Tbe Denials of Fraud. The most instructive part of the know nothing policy is the denial, by the organs and leaders of that party, of every dogma oi doctrine by which they are know to be controlled. They deny that berseeute and proscribe the Catholics of the United States, even while they disfranchise and repe liate them. They deny, on the one hand, that they are in favor of the rights of the Sates; they deny, on the other hand, that they are againsttheas rights. They deny that they are hostile to adopted citizens even while they refuse to elevate them to public station. They deny that th. y are in league with tho abolitionists, and yet .they have swept the free States by voting for aboli tionists, and are now daily consolidating their union with abolitionists They deny that they are in favor of secret plots and counterplots even while their whole ma chinery is managed by clandestine cau cuses. They deny that they are opposed to emigration, even whiletheyseok practically to repeal the naturalization laws. “Tl j It The Knickeabuckcr tells an excellent stei-y of Burchard, the revivalist; not of him exactly, but what happened at the close of one of his mect ingH. He was in the habit of addressing his congregation in thia manner: “I am now going to pray, and I want all that desire to be prayed for, to send up tbeii names on a piece of paper. On the occasion to which we refer, there was at once sent up to the desk quite a pile of little slips of paper, With the nan.c in whose behalf lie was to “wrestle,” as he said, “with the Al mighty.” A pause soon ensued, when he eaid:—"Send ’em up! I can pray for live thousand just ns easy as 1 canjtbr a dozen. Send ’em up. I haven’t any paper, get up and name the friend you want prayed fbr.” At this stage of the proceeding, a man whim we shall callOziel Bigg, a stalwart man of ox feet and a half in his stockings, a notorious un beleiver, and a confi med wag to hoot, rose in the midst ol the congregation a mark for all, and amidst the winks and becks and smiles of the au ditory, said: “Mr. Buckliard, J want you to pray for Jim Thompson.” The Rev. petitioner, saw from the excitement in the audience, thut Oziol was a “hard case.” “What is your namo, Sir, and who is Mr. Thompson!” “It’s Jim Thompson, he keeps a tavern down in Thompsonville, and I keep a public bouse a little below him. He is an infernal scuudrel and 1 want you to give him a lift,” “Hut,” said Mr, Buchard, “haveyou faith in the efficacy of prayer ! Do you believe in the power of petition!” “That is n'ither her nor there,” responded Oziel, “1 want to try it on him.'" John Randolph “Headed.” Os many amusing anecdotes of this e<’.cen#i c man of Roanoke, w« do not believe the following was ever in print: He was traveling through a part of Virginia in which he was unacquainted ; nieantim.) he stopped during tho night nt an inn near the forks oi the road. The innkeeper was a fine gentle man, and no doubt of one of the first faniilh s in the Old Dominion. Knowing who his dis tiuguished guest was, he endeavored during the evening to draw him into conversatien, but tailed in all h a efforts. But in the morning, when Mr. Randolph was ready to start, he callc>l for his bill, winch, on being presented, whs paid.— The landlord, alill anxious to have some conver sation with him, began as follows: “Winch way arc you traveling, Mr. Ran dolph 1” ’•Sir,” said Mr. Randolph, with a look of dis pleasure, "have 1 paid my bill!” “Yea ” “Do I own you anything more!” “No." •Well, I’m going just whe'o I pleaao—do you understand!” “Yea.” The landlord by this time got aomewhat exci tad, and Mr. Randolph drove off. But to the landlord’s surprise, iu u few minutes the servant came to inquire for hie roaster which of the forks of the road to take. Mr. Randolph, not being out ut hearing-dis tance, he epoke at the top of his voice: “Mr Randolph, you don’t owe me one cent; just take which road you please."
