Judge Warner.
On Saturday last, Judge Warner addressed
the people of Fulton at the City Hall in this
place. At about 1-2 past ten o’clock in the
morning he commenced, and. at the hour of
twelve, at the earnest solicitation of many gen
tlemen present postponed the closing of his
speech till night. On both occasions, a large
audience attended, and were repaid by hearing
one of the ablest and most convincing arguments
ever heard in that hall—an argument and speech
which cannot fail to do good in this community.:
As on evidence of this, we heard one of the most
determined Know Nothings in our city, but not
a citizen, declare that had he a vote to give, he
should unhesitatingly cast it for Judge Warner;
and we were pleased to hear the remark, for
the reason, that the gentleman who made it is
to be influenced only by reason and argument,
and is incapable of declaring what he would not
perform.
We will not attempt to report this able effort
of our candidate for Congress. To do so, would
do him injustice. His account of the origin,
use, and progress of the two great parties—
Federal, and .Republican—the first contending
for extraordinary; and the latter for limited
powers on the part of the Federal Govern
ment, was as dear as truth could make it. The
history of each he brought down to the present
times, and showed that the Democratic, Anti-
Know Notliing Party, of the present, day, occu
pied identically the same position, in reference
to the powers of the Federal Government , which
the Republican Party did at. and after, the tra
ining of the Constitution ; while the Know
Nothing Party, like the Federalists, were con
tending for extraordinary powers, such as were
not granted in the Constitution, and were re-
to the States. Ho, also, went on to show
that the great question before the country, was
the exclusion of slavery from the territories; and
uud that to meet this question, the South must
prepare itself. For his part, he looked upon
this design of the anti-slavery fanatics <>i the
North, as one, if it proved successful, fatal to
the South; and that it was designed, which no
man in his senses will dispute, he clearly estab
lished. For its resistance, practically and ef
ficiently, he argued in favor of the principlesset
forth in the Democratic platform, and for pro
tection of the property of the South, of our in
stitutions. homes, and firesides, he placed him
self upon the fourth resolution of the Georgia
Platform, which he declared was the ultimatum
with him. mid which he hoped would he the ul
timatum of every Georgian and the whole South.
He repudiated the Platform of the “American
Party,” as it is called, as being utterly ineffici
ent for the protection of Southern Rights; and
plainly showed how the reserved rights ol the
Slates, were, by their declaration of principles
surrendered to the Supreme Court, a mere crea
ture of the Federal Government, and that. State
Sovereignty and Reserved Ntg/t/s, existed in it
only in name. The action of Georgia in the
nminteiuuiee of its reserved rights, and its claims
to Sovereignty, when assailed in the Tassel's
ease; in that of the. Missionaries. Worcester
and Butler; and in its difficulties with the Fed
eral Government, in reference to our Indian ter
ritory ; he pointed to as a practical defence of
the rights of the States; and. as in those eases
he would resist any law of Congress prohibiting
the admission of Kansas as a slave State, even
as the Georgia Platform, in the fourth resolu
tion, says, to a disruption of the Union. Union
man as he had always been, he rejected the doc"
trine of the “American Party,’’ that the Union
of the States was the paramount good. The
paramount good he esteemed to be. the protec"
lion of our property; of our wives and children;
mid our homes and tire-sides; tuid'notthe Union
of the States, when in that Union, nil these
were no longer secure. His exposition of the
platform of principles as put forth in Macon
and Philadelphia by the Know Nothings was
a masterly one, mid told most unfavorably for
their cause by all who heard him. As lie re
marked, in the conclusion, it was emphatically
a document as Talleyrand said, in which "words
were used to conceal ideas."
The/oitvgu and religious fest put to the
country by the Know Nothings, Judge War
ner reviewed calmly and dispassionately; and it
he failed to convince one man that heard him.
of the folly, impropriety, and wrong. perpetra
ted by such a policy, all that we cun say is. that
man “is joined to his idols, let him alone!''
A more masterly effort in defence' of his posi
tion, and that of the party he is acting with,
we have never yet beard, than that of, u- can
didate for Congress in this district. Let the
people wherever lie speaks tarn out ami hear
him, mid no fears need our friends apprehend ot
the result! Our account of hi- speech is meaa;.
and barren compared with the speech its .
And all that we shall say. in conclusion ’

Mr. Barringer’s Letter.
Here is the finale of the vamped up story of
what Mr. Barringer said about the Pope’s Nun
cio. I low will Miller and those who endeavor
ed to make capital out. of the shameless story
feel when they read it,.we leave them to tell the

Saratoga, July 23, 1855.
Drab Sib ; I did not receive till last evening
your note of the 13th inst. addressed to me at
Baltimore, and covering your card to the public
in which reference is made to a conversation be
tween the Nuncio of the Pope at Madrid and
myself, about, the appointment of Mr. Campbell
as a member of the present Cabinet at Wash
ington. If I had sooner seen or heard of the
contents of your card. I should have deemed it
my duty to reply at once to that portion
of it which refers to myself and to this mat
ter.
You are mistaken as to the purport of the re
marks made to me by the representative of the
Pope at Madrid. . It was not that he knew-be
forehand that Mr. Campbell would be appoint
ed, and as a member of the Catholic Church
or that he was actually made. What 1 have
said, and what I repeat is, that, before I had any
certain news of the formation of the Cabinet,
and while its constitution was still in doubt, and
the subject of conjecture hi the public mind at
Madrid, he told me that Mr. Campbell was
appointed, and that he was a Catholic ; which
was the first information J had of either
fact.
1 did not at all suppose that he had any previ
ous knowledge. of an intention to appoint this
gentleman to office, or that he'knew, or had any
reason to believe it was done, in pursuance of
any bargain or intrigue to this effect, on the part
of any persons whatsoever.
The inference I made was, that the appoint
ment of a Catholic to this high office, being
naturally, a cause of much interest and satis
faction to the church of that faith, especial
pains been taken in some quarter, to commu
nicate the earliest intelligence of that fact to
the leading members of the Cholic priest
hood.
It is proper to add that, having seen in a
Raleigh paper a brief, and what appeared to be
an imperfect report of the speech recently made
in Washington by the 1 lon. Kenneth Rayner,
in which there occurred a similar statement;
though somewhat different in detail from that
contained in your card, and in which my name
was quoted as authority. I took the earliest op
portunity, on the 6th instant, to write him a
note for the purpose of correcting the errone
ous impressions which might so readily be ina<>
on the public mind, however nnitentiouaily, from
such a reference to a casual conversation in so.
cial intercourse, without a written statement of
the facts.
I am, very truly yours. &c.,
D, M. BARRINGER.
To Vespian Ellis, Esq.,
Washington City.
We have been favored by some unknown
friend with a copy of the “Address delivered at
the opening exercises of the Atlanta .Medical
College” in May last, by Dr. John W. Jones,
Professor of the principles aud practice of med
icine in that institution; for which we thank
the donor. In its perusal we shall doubtless be
gratified and instructed, particularly at a time
when over-run with political essays, and essay,
ists, the mind craves something as a “refresher.''
Coweta Democracy.
From representations we had received that
the'Moloch of Know Nothingism had hoda
ciously devoured the Democracy of Coweta, we
were induced to go down and pay a last tribute
to the deceased’patriots; but we found them
“alive and kicking” effectually. The “unterri
fied” far from being defunct, have risen in
their might, and are exercising their opponents
powerfully. Judge Warner’s speech, was well
received, both as a powerful argument, and as
an entire demolition of his opponent. Let every
other county stand up like Coweta, and the
term "Anti- Americans," which is applied to the
Democracy there, will sicken the lips that have
so contemptuously curled in its utterance. —
Give us such boys as the Coweta boys, and we
laugh ut the idea of failure.
Nathaniel Macon of North Carolina.
The esteem and veneration in which Nathan
iel Macon's memory is held in the “Old North
State," and throughout the Union, are almost
unpuralelled by that of any of our statesmen
and patriots since the days of the Revolution.
All of Lis cotemporaries bear testimony to his
incorruptibility, his wisdom, and his patriotism.
I le always spoke - words of truth and soberness,”
and the influence which hecxercised over men. his
State, and our National Councils, was exceeded,
by that of no other man in his day. When,
therefore, we look to the past; to guide us in the
present and future, where can we look to with
more confidence for wise and patriotic counsel
than in the writings and speeches of Nathaniel
Macon ? Is there a Know Nothing in the laud,
ignorant of what Nathaniel Macon s opinions
were in regard to Catholies; their alleged in
fluence; and a religions test as a qualification
fur office; that would not readily agree to sub
mit lhe question to him. if living : to his opin
ions, now that his spirit is in Eternity? We
opine that there is not one who knew the man,
or appreciates his worth. But be this as itmay.
we call the especial attention of our readers to
the following extracts from his speech in the
North Carolina Convention assembled to frame
a Constitution for that State. Read and (Hin
der upon them, vott rs of Georgia!

If a Hindoo were to come among us. and was

made man a judge, that he should presume to
interfere in the aieivtl rights of conscience?—
I Lave always thought that a tnixtue oi (lolities

Mr. Macon likewise said:
“Fears seemed to be entertained by some gen

the country. They might do it, but he did not
think it was half as probable as that a mouse
would kill a butfalo.”

Anti-Know Nothing friends on this glorious

A THOUSAND CHEERS FOR TEN
NESSEE.
(From the Chattanooga Advertiser Extra.]
Andrew (Me?) Johnson Re-Elect
ed by a Largely Increased Ma
jority.
By the last night's mails we have returns from
all the counties of Middle and West Tennessee,
as reported to the Nashville Press—making in
all 69 counties heard from; which give Gover
nor J ohnson a nett gain of some 500. 10 re.
maining counties to be heard from, which will
increase Johnson’s majority to 3000.
In Nashville the Know-nothings have given it
up.
As far as heard from the Democracy have
gained in the Legislature, and a gain of one or
two Congressmen.
Thus Tennessee has proudly taken her stand
by the Old Dominion in upholding the Consti
tution.
Governor Johnson and Mark A. Cooper.
The Chronicle & Sentinel is greatly exercised
in reference to what certain Know' Nothing
presses and stump speakers call “Governor John
son’s purchase of Mark A. Cooper.” It seems
that it has "watched the papers at Atlanta,
Rome, and Cassville, to see what excuse they
would or could offer.” Verily, it is amazing
that someone of the. papers thus “watched,’’ has
not long ere this relieved the anxieties of the
Chronicle, and at least endeavored to convince
it that Mark A. Cooper was not a man to be
bought, and that Governor Johnson was inca
pable of making even an attempt to purchase
him. In plain language that Governor John
son and Mark A. Cooper are neither knaves nor
fools. Both gentlemen it appears, must be un
known to the Chronicle. True, Mark A. Coop
er has some reputation for integrity and honor
with the people of Georgia, and we thought
Governor Johnson possessed the confidence’ also
of a majority, at least, of tlie same people; but
they have fallen upon evil times, when the one
sells himself on time, for six thousand dollars,
and the other, three months before the election,
agrees to pay so round a sum, and is fool enough
to “let the cat out of the bag,” in time for his
enemies to use it to his disadvantage!! Shame
Shame! upon such dirty work! Would it not
comport more with the dignity, and redound
more to the honor of the press, for such journals
as the Chronicle to nail always such charges
and clap trap to the counter as base coin, rather
t han to watch the Atlanta, Ro me, and Cassville
papers, for a grave response to so contemptible
a charge as this one of bribery and corruption
between two distinguished citizens and sons of
Georgia?—the one, its present Chief Magistrate;
the other, a man who has served his State and
the Union in their legislative councils; his
country in the field: and whose energy and en
terprise in developing the resources of our Moun
tain country, merit the commendation of every
man in Cherokee, as it has always received that
of the legislature of Georgia— through., whose
recommendation, it is well here to remark, dis
crimination in favor of his shipments Have been
made on the State Road. Does the Chronicle
know this?
Catholic Allegiance.
Judge Gaston, of North Carolina, a Catholic,
patriot, and an eminent, jurist—a man without
fear, and beyond reproach said, in a speech made
by him in a Convention of his State—
“l owe no allegiance to any man or set of men
on earth, save only to the State of North Car
olina, and so farasshe has parted with her sov
ereignty, to the United States of America.—
THFCHARGETHATCATHOLICSOWE
ALLEGIANCE TO THE POPE, IS WHOL
LY FALSE.
This is one side of the picture.
The Know Nothing candidate for Congress
in this district, Mr. Hill: Dr. Miller, of Rome:
and other stump orators of the day; say that
Catholics do owe allegiance, (temporal) to the
Pope.
Now, voters of Georgia—particularly you
are from the “old North State," or your fathers
before you—whom will you believe ? J udge Gas
ton, or those whom we have named that take
the opposite side of the question ?
North Carlina Election.
At a late hour last night we received the
following telegraphic despatch from Raleigh.
These returns come from a responsible and
well-informed source, and are entitled to full
credit. They indicate considerable gains in the
democratic vote of the State, and justify the
belief, so confidently expressed by our friends
before the election, that. “Sam has no foothold
in North Carolina." We give the. despatch
below:
Raleigh, Aug. 3, 9 P. M.
L. O’Brien Branch, the Democratic candid"
ate. has been triumphantly elected. His re
ported majority over Jas. B. Shepard, know
nothing, is 2,687. His remajorities are as fol

Tennessee Elections.
Every doubt of Johnson’s election is dispell
ed. There are but four counties to hear from
(which are Democratic) and Johnson's majori
ty i5'1.550. We have not time or space to
collocate the returns which have reached us.—
»We can only say that they place the Demo
cratic.candidate beyond a doubt. The majori
ty will be between two or three thousand :
amply expressive of the condemnation of the
honest men of Tennessee of the. new order
which has sought to subvert her established
politics. Thus have the calculations of the
mushroom party melted into thin air, when it
i came to counting votes, aud theirloud boast inijs
dwindled down to nothing at the polls.
County Convention.
A meeting of the citizens of Fulton county
opposed to the know nothing party, will be held.
at the City Hall, in this city, on Thursday. 15th

Democracy in Cobb.
We dropped in upon our friends in Cobb on I
Tuesday,and certainly were gratified with the
state of feeling prevailing the Democracy of!
that county. Enthusiasm, tempered by cool
judgment, murks every movement they make,
and give most, gratifying indications of success.
Every man is upon duty, and the party never
was bel ter organized in Cobb.
After eating a most excellent, dinner with
“mine host" of the Fletcher House, we stepped
into the large and crowded Court Room, where
we found our friend Col. R. J. Cowart, of our
city, harranguing the people in exposition of
the Philadelphia Platform, and making a mur
derous onslaught upon its federal principles.— I
It has been our fortune to listen to many line I
speeches, during this campaign, but we have
heard none superior to this in solidity of matter
or earnestness of delivery. It reminded us of
the time when we heard his clear, full voice
ringing its sonorous tones in defence of South
ern Rights. The same fire that warmed him
then, seemed to inspire him on this occasion’
and we do him no injustice when we say he
never lias, nor never will, make a more effective
speech—one that will make more lasting im
pressions upon the minds of his auditory. He
commenced with the first resolutions, aud the
men who made it. aud we question if there was
a man in the house who, after he hud finished,
put any faith in its hypocritical cant. He took
each feature of the platform in turn and when
he reached the fourth resolution, he took the
broad ground of State sovereignty, a doctrine
which has long peculiarly marked the history
of Georgia, and before it, the resolution was
stripped of its deceitful garbage, and stood na
ked to the world in all the enormity of a posthu
mous child of the old federalist, John Adams.
What though the resolution denies the right of
“executive" or “legislative” action upon ques
tions like those which divide the North and
South, if we must at last abide the judgment
of the Supreme Court, “a creature of a creature ?”
Georgia long since disregarded the mandates of
that body, and to her independence of its be
hests she now owes the prosperity she enjoys,
and the rich resources of the Cherokee County.
Georgia was unwilling to fall a suppliant at the
feet, of the Supreme bench for the recognition
of her constitutional rights—no such servile
course had ever blotted her history, and none
such ever should. Her language was that ofj
demand and not of prayer. She does not say, |
as does the twelfth resolution, t hat Congress I
“ought not to legislate upon the subject of slave
ry within the territories," but she says Congress
shall not so legislate. She has no petition to
make; her demands are reasonable, constitu
tional, and are not made upon bended knees l '
but with a full determination to have them com
plied with to the letter. The day for tempori
zing and compromising had passed, and the South
stood now upon the defensive. One by one he I
took up the resolutions, and in the crucible of
reason hi; analyzed each one and showed its
base, in every instance, to be smion pure, blue
light Federalism, of the Adams stamp.
When he concluded Maj. Robertson was
called for by “ Sam,” and promptly came forward,
and made his maiden political speech. We
have no desire to detract from the merit of his
effort; it was certainly as able a vindication of
his cause as could have been made ; but not
all his sophistry could cover the federal bones
which the rough hand of Col. Cowart had ex
humed. Ho dug and piled all arouud them;
but to no purpose. The people had seen the
skeleton, and not all the “raw head and bloody
bones” of Catholic domination ami foreign influ
ence could distract their attention from the view
before presented. As our friend D.says, it was
“a very good lick,/ro/» where he stood ;" but
he didn’t stand right, and felt all the embarrass
ment of his position. He barely touched upon
the Colonel's points. To the charge that the
Know Nothing party was not national he re
pik'd that it was. and, to prove his declaration,
attempted to prove the Democratic party was
not. The Col. charged that there would' not
be a sound Northern Know Nothing in the
next (longress, and the Major replied by at
tempting to show that the Democratic party
was rotten “clean through." Thus he jumped
the arguments of his opponent all the way
through. To prove the corruption of the De
mocratic party, he cited us instance, the state
ment that Gov. McDonald had been ostracised
by the Democracy of Cobb—that he had been
defeated in the convention for the nomination
for the Senate, The statement was promptly
pronounced untrue by Mr. Moore, the nominee,
and Mr. Hoyle, a member of the convention.—
It was proven false, and the circumstances of
Gov. McDonald's name being used were ex
plained, briefly, in this way : Gov. McDonald.
upon the solicitation of several prominent De
mocrats, consented to allow his name to go l>e
fore the convention, to harmonize the party,
with the express condition precedent that the
two other candidates would withdraw. The
friends of these refused to withdraw them, and
thus Gov. McDonald’s name was not before the
convention. We have a card from Mr. Moore
upon this subject, which fully explains the whole
matter, and which we will lay before our read
er? al the earliest opportunity Maj. Robert
son spoke some two hours, ami retired from the
rostrum; whereupon nearly every Know Noth
ing left th<* Court Room. "Come bark," cried
the Col. as he again took the stand, “come
back.and listen to the truth." “No! no!!"
cried twenty voices, and they kept on. Well
it was for them they did so. for the lion was
aroused in the Col., and he completely riddled
the speech of his opponent in a short address
of some twenty minutes. The reserve guard of
the enemy dropped off. one by one until the
house was cleared of them, ami we heard no
more of “Sam" that evening. M e can but re
gret that Maj. R.. ehose so unequal a contest;
lie might have spared himself the chagrin of a
universally conceded defeat, liad lie taken a man ■
less versed in stump discussion than R J.Cow-i
art, as the murk for his first attack.

A House Warming.
| On Tuesday night lust, through the polite
i ness of our neighbor. Muhlenbrink, wewttness
| iil the ancient ceremony of ii "house warming.’
I A large number of our citizens were present on
the occasion. Theeditice -warmed" is the large
brick building with granite front, directly op
posite our office, on White-Hall street, the
property of Mr. Muhlenbrink. But a few weeks
the construction of this ornament to the busi
ness part of our city, under the direction of
that skilful architect. Mr. B. Vinton, com
menced. Like niagie it progressed, and now
stands an enduring monument of his taste, skill,
and. to use a familiar phrase, of his go-ahcad
i itiveness. For the purpose to which this hand
i .some structure is to lie devoted, its interior ar
! rangements are perfect. Its whole, design is
chaste, elegant, and convenient, reflecting great
credit upon Mr. Vinton,and Messrs. Whaley and
Healy who under his direction, executed the
brick and stone work. May Atlanta for many,
many, years, call into requisition the services of
a gentleman so well meriting, in, and out of. his
profession, the patronage and confidence of our
citizens.
But for the, "warming of the house f " — that
was indeed aa interesting and rich affair.—
Several of our city Aidermen were there —for
Aldermen always know where good eating and
drinking are to be found. In this we do nbt
include Temperance Aldermen—they were
doubtless at home. Know-Nothingsand Anti-
Know ■Nothings : mechanics aud farmers;
engineers, lawyers and doctors; all save loafers
were present to enjoy the scene, the wine, the
wit, and “the flow of soul." Politics and
briefs and physic, were all forgotten; and some
declare that the shrill whistle of an engine was
totally disregarded. To sum all up, the reader
may lie assured that the “Aotwc was well warm
ed," and, if they do not think so, we refer them
to its hospitable owner over the way. for an
testation of the truth of this statement. Per
haps a call at the Hotels of our'eity, for parties
representing each of them on the occasion, would
better satisfy the incredulous that every thing
was “done up brown," in the good old fashioned
way.

Our readers will note the following. No

From the Augusta Chronicle d Sentinel.

The American Discipline, published at Atlan

thority of some gentleman, to the effect that
Messrs. Jenkins and Johnson in 1853. when
canvassing for Governor, had suspended their
canvass for a time and agreed to meet in San
dersville on a certain day to arrange for the
canvass of Southwestern Georgia—that Mr.
Jenkins went to Sandersville as stipulated, and
that Johnson failed to meet him, and hurried

i unaccompanied by .Mr. Jenkins. We.give only
the substance of tlie charge made by the Dis

We called the attention of Mr. Jenkins to the
statement, and he requests us to say it is utterly
false—that they made no such arrangemeht, and
he did not go to Sandersville for any such pur

Crittenden, of Kentucky, also repudiates the
Catholic plank in the platform. In a speech
which he lately made at Frankfort, as reis;>rt?d
in the Commonwealth, he said:
■ Upon the Catholic question, Mr. Crittenden
declared that he was utterly hostile to imposing
any penalties, proscription or disability upon
any man on account of his religion. lie had
further, the fullest confidence in our native Cath
olics. He knew native Gatholies in Kentucky
j in whom as citizens, or patriots, or soldiers, he
I had as full eonlideniv as in any othermen of

if they were la-fore him as candidates. He felt
sure they acknowledged no uHegianc- to the
Pope that was superior to their country, or
equal to it. He would trust Kentucky blood
and Kentuckey principles acainst all the seduc
tions of any foreign power.”

The Vermont Democracy*
At the state convention last week al. Montpe
lier, Ixsides the nominations of .Merritt Clark
for governor, 8. B. Colby for lieutenant gover
nor, and John A. Page for treasurer, we find
that two delegates nt large were appointixl to
the next national convention—D. A. Smalley,
of Burlington, and Jefferson P. Kidder; sui>-
stitutes. Jasper Rand and Stephen Thomas.-
I'he committee on resolutions reported the fol
lowing. which weii> adopted ui.animi.uslv and
with great enthusiasm
Resolved, That as the democratic party has
in all periods of trial been faithful! to its high
mission of guarding and preserving the union of
the states, we have full eontidr iieo in ii« ability
to check all illegal exorcise of authority, and i
every unwarraneahle construction of the consti
tution. and that, in adhering to their time hon
ored tenets is the only safety of the government.
Therefore the democratic parly of Vermont is
pledged to the principles and organization of
the national democracy.
Resolved, That we denounce and repudiate all
attempts of demagogues and misled philanthro
pists to form sectional parties, lielieviug the
government cannot be administered expressly
for one interest or section, but that all have
equal rights and privileges, and equal claims to
protection. The constitution cannot be con
strued so as to bestow special favors upon any
portion of the confederacy, it lieing a federal
compact, and sustaining only federal relations
to the several States, leaving to the people, of
each state or territory, the exclusive right to
institute and regulate their own internal aflairs.
Resolved, That Franklin Pierce in bis admin
istration has thus far been eminently successful,
his acts having all been conformed' strictly to
the constitution he has solemnly sworn to sup
port. giving us increased confidence in his abili
ty and patriotism—and that by his stern resist
ance to all schemes of treasury robbing, by his
vetoes of constitutional and prodigal measures,
by his judicious management of our foreign re
lations, he has commended himself to the in
telligent and frugal citizens of Vermont.
Resolved. In the language, of the preamble of
the constitution of Vermont, “ That all men
have a natural and inalienable right to worship
Almighty God according to the dictates of
their own consciences and understandings, as in
their opinion shall be regulated by the word of
God; and that no man ought to, or of right
can, tie compelled to attend any religious wor
ship, or erect or support any place of worship,
or maintain any minster, contrary to the dic
tates of his oyvn conscience; nor' can man lie
! justly deprived or abridged of any civil right as
a citizen on account of his religious sentiments
or peculiar mode of religious worship; and that
no authority can or ought, to be vested in or
assumed by any power whatever that shall in
any ease interfere with, or iu anv manner con
trol. the rights of conscience iu tne free exereies
of religious worship." And that tlie party
called know nothings by their oath-bound se
crecy, their repugnant iinddenationolizing prin
ciples, show themselves hostile to every estab
lished principles of republicanism and totally
unworthy the confidence or support, of good
citizens. Now, that religious toleration and
equality of citizenship- -the fundamental princi
ples of free government—are sought to be re
pudiated by the so-called whig and abolition
jiarties, the democracy of this state put forth
their excellent candidates, with this platform of
principles, inviting to their standard all men
agreeing with them, regardless of fortnar partv
affinities.
Hon. Linton Stephens and Col. VV. G.
Foster, met in open discussion, tit J’enficld. on
Wednesday night,during which the following
conversation is said to have taken place :

Mr. Stephens—Well, sir, when you joined,
were you sworn, did you subscribe to anv
oaths?
Col. Foster—l did not.
Mr. Stephens—Well, sir, why is it. that the
leaders, the wire-workers, are not. sworn ? You
rope in the wool-hat boys, and tie them down
with an oath. But you men, who are disgust

Those Grave Charges.
The Southern Recorder of last Tuesday refers
to the following charges, made in u meeting in
Cass county, as “startling disclosures,” which
should be investigated.
Resolved, That we utterly condemn the ml
mmistration of Gov. 11. V. Johnson, because he
has sought to use the Western & Atlantic Rail
road (the joint property of all the tieople of
Georgia) as the means ol political corruption in
Order to advance the interests of a party : first
in controlling the Superintendent of the Rokd
in his appointments to and removals from office
for the express object of punishing political in
dependence and rewarding political subservien
cy : secondly, iu the appointment, by the Gov
ernor, of Robert J. Cowart to the office of at
torney tor the Road, at a salary of $2,000—«„
office of the Governor’s own creation, in direct
violation of law, and through whose known in
competency the Road has sustained the loss of
$36,000 iu the State of Tennessee, and whose
incompetency has rendered it absolutely neces
sary for the Superintendent to employ other at
torneys ut a heavy cost of the Road, to protect
its interests: thirdly, in recently conijK’Hing
the Superintendant of the Road to make a dis
crimination iu the rates of freight in favor of
an individual, at a cost to the State of $7,000
per annum, when the Sxperintendent, with the
approval of the Govoruor, had constantly re
fused to do so duringthe whole previous term of
his office, in order/nends, might be secured in
the approaching that the support of that in
dividual and hiselectiou.
We shall notice them briefly;
Ist. The charge of politica’l proscription. -
This comes with a bad grace from the oppo
nents of Gov. Johnson, whose proscriptive doc
trines extend to a man s religion as well as to
his politics.
, 2nd. Tlie claims against the State Road, in
Tennessee, were submitted to arbitration, aud
removed to another county, hoping to obtain a
fair trial. But the award went against the
State ot Georgia. Where is the corruptiou in
this?
3d. Mr. Cowart's office was not created bv
Gov. Cobb, Gov. Johnson found it inexistence,
and continued it, at less expense to the Road’
than was incurred by his predecessor. 'l'he
opposition found no fault with this office
when it was made by Governor Cobb. Why
is it condemned under another administration'?
4th. The change in the tariff of f reights at
Etowah, Maj. Cooper's Depot, (he being the
••individual referred to in the above) was made
iu pursuance of an understanding, effected more
than 12 mouth? ago. The change applies to
all shipments al that point, without discrimina

The Stephens’ Dinner.
The lion. A. 11. Stephens addressed the citi
zens of Augusta, at the City Hall, yesterday,
according to appointment, and delivered one of
the most eloquent and argumentative speeches
it has ever been our pleasure to listen to. We
will not attempt to give an outline of it, as we
hope it will be published in full. Should it
be, it will afford us pleasure to lay it before our
readers. We consider it one of the greatest ef
forts. There was no rant, no clap-trap—no ap
jxul to the passions—but u compact structure
of unanswerable argument from beginning to
end.
We iiave seen numerous assemblages under
the old Oaks iu our City Hall Park, but never
before have we seen so many of the fair sex, or
a large number of the sterner, assembled to lis
ten to a political speech, lie occupied over
two hours in its delivery, but so attentive wen
listeners, tliut when he concluded, and it was
announced that dinner was ready, but few could
realise the period of lime which had elupsed
from the beginning to the conclusion of tin- ad
dress of the able sjx’aker.

W SStIINGTON, AUgUSI 1.
Private iiilorin ilion from tlie city of Mexico
has been reeeited lit re by the last steamer from
Vera Cruz which goes to confirm rumors, here
! tol'ore prevalent, of some approaching change
in the Mexican government and the voluntary
‘til of Sanin Anna. It appears that the
I step-father of Miulame Santa Anna, Mr Vidal,
lately Santa Alma s private seccetary, has been
appointed minister to the t'nited Slates, and ■*■
was to de)iart in a goveriinicnt steamer for New
York on the 26th. accompanied by Madame
Santa Anna and her brother.
Some circumstances seem to render it proba
ble that this is not the real object of the mis
sion of Mr. Vidal, and that he is to convey
! Simla Anna's family and treasure, and jxirhaps
■ his own person, to u place of safety- probably
Havana. It is conjectectured that Santa An
na's rule is about to tie terminated, either b)
force or by compromise, and that he may be al
lowed to retire with his family and fortune.—
He has Ixs'n thrice before an exile from Mexi
co, but each lime was permitted to retain his
ample estates. This may be the case again.—
If he hoped and intended to remain in power,
he would not recall General Almonte, the utile
minister from Mexico, now here. General Al
monte was himself the cause of Santa Amin’s
overthrow on one occasion, and it was thought
when Santa Anna sent him tothe United States
as minister it was from jealousy more than love,
and in fart a sort of honorable bunishment.
Gen. Almonte is now at Saratoga Springs.
Perhaps the last steamer, which left Vera Cruz
on the 22d. may have brought his recall. The
mail by the steamer was received here yester
' day. If lie be not recalled we may expect to
hear of the arrival of his Serene Highness aud
family, mid Secretary, not Minister. J'idal, at
Havana. Yours, Ac., ION.

The Rbvknub and Crops;—A Washington
letter says that the receipts of revenue for July
from duties, indicate the revival of trade. The
exports of 1855-56 will probably be greater
than during any preceding year. All the sta
ple crops of the country, North and South, are
abundant beyond precedent ; since the commence
cement of the American cotton trade, no such
crop has Ix’eii known as that which is now
upon the ground—moderate estimates place it
4(10,00(1 bales beyond lhe production of any
preceding year. Wheat, corn, rye,oats—ail the
cereals, will overflow our granaries, and beef,
pork, and others meats will be abundant and
ebcup in proportion. .So i. as concerna our
financial condition, the only danger now is tliut
u similar abundance will prevail abroad. All
our accounts represent that the crops of Europe ,
ure, like our own larger than have been gath
ered i'oi' years. W bother the productions of our
agriculture will bear prices that will justify
exportation is now the question. If they will,
the only difficulty will lie to obtain a sufficient
supply of shipfling.
