Address.
It is a peculiar filature in the composition of
our government and institutions, that when the
Democratic element on which they are based,
runs into such excesses and licence as to peril
the pristine virtue and integrity of the country,
the consevative powers of the nation arrange
themselves and subdue the innovations which
threaten at once the stability of the Constitution,
and the welfare of the people; and it is to this
inherent quality arising from, and dwelling
IN THE ENLIGHTENMENT AND GENERAL INTELLI
GENCE OF THE BETTER CLASSES of population,
that we find the safeguard of the Republic in
the past, the hope of its perpetuitv in the future
though at the moment its power is called into
action, from the necessity for its exertion, the
political atmosphere may be agitated by storm
and whirlwind, still such will be but the harbin
, ger of a serene sky and an unclouded day; for
■ OUR NATION, LIKE THE OCEAN, CAN ONLY BE PU-
RIFTED BY ITS GIGANTIC CONVULSIONS.
Far, then, from deprecating such agitations,
ought we not rather to regard them as the con
sequences of the necessary struggle, which is in
the end to expel intolerable abuse, and restore
health to our political society.
Among the many imperfections to which a
government constituted as our own is subject,
the generosity with which it throws wide open
the portals of citizenship to the members of all
nations, and all classes, is not by any means the
least to be deplored. Not content with extend
ing to the oppressed myriads of less favored
lands the blessings arising from a free govern
ment, the happiness springing from free institu
tions, and the protection flowing from merciful
laws, not content with throwing the broad.
AJgis of our constitution between the oppress
ors°and suffering humanity of the whole world;
not content with inviting starving millions to
take refuge from famine in the bountiful bosom
. of our beautiful country—the original framers
' of our otherwise almost perfect constitution,
WITH AN ILL-ADVISED LIBERALITY, extended to
them also the highest honors of man, and while
relieving their necessities, called on them to as
sume the august mantle of the legislator.
With such inducements as these, it ceases to
be u matter of surprise that men groaning under
the burdens of intolerable taxation, bowed down
with the agony of seeing their starving wives
and children, and crushed under the weight of
evils springing from a haughty aristocracy, and
an overcrowded population, should hail with
rapture this new realization of a land literally
overflowing “with milk and honey,” and leaving
the time worn abuses of European society, should
throw themselves on our shores in numbers
countless as the swarms of Locusts which infect
ed Egypt of old. Bht while we greeted the ar
rival of the few industrious and sterling men
who were driven by untoward circumstances to
seek shelter among us, we were also forced to
receive the by far larger proportion of the idle,
the vicious and the filthy, who lacking the ener
gy or honesty to live in their own homes, come
to reap a harvest by the exercise of qualities to
which happily, the native born citizens of the
land are strangers. Here came, and still comes,
the pauper, with his rags and his sloth, to cajole,
by his feigned distress, the sympathies of the
charitable and industrious; here comes the ad
venturer, striving to obtain a livelihood by cun
ning and trickery, which, if exerted in a better
cause, would perhaps conduct him to considera
tion and credit; here comes, actually brought
at the expense of their governments, the refuse
of every European city, the incorrigible inmates
of their jails, actually converting the heritage
earned by the blood of our fathers into an asy
lum for every rogue and cut-purse on the face of
the earth. Doubtless among the thousands who
swarmed hither there were a few worthy of the
high privilege our laws extended to them, but
these were comparatively few indeed. Still
fewer were they who contributed in any manner
to the intelligence or enlightenment of the com
munity, and fewer still who added anything to
the wealth and comfort of society.
But of all who came, will any one have the 1
hardihood to contend that one in one hun
dred considered the right of suffrage as an in
ducement among the causes that compelled them
to emigrate? They came fleeing from the em
brace of gaunt famine, and whether the country
acknowledged the sway of the despot, monarch
or president, the difference was not material,
provided the plenty of the land would suffice to
relieve their own necessities, and those of their
wive? and little ones.
Can it be wondered at that men, whose whole '
lives have been passed in the grossest ignorance
and abasement, whose constant care has been to .
keep frem their thrsehold the grim demon of
starvation, who crouched submissively beneath
the rod of an unpitying government, nay, who
licked the hand that struck them—the most
brutally ignorant denizens of lands whose wi
sest sons, after years of study, found themselves
unable to comprehend the action of our pecul
iar government; can it be wondered at, that
these new citizens, utterly ignorant, as their
limited powers of comprehension and reasoning
must necessarily leave them, of the very consti- '
tution they swear to support, would be the ready
dunes and willing tools of every unprincipled J
and designing demagogue?
The privilege, inestimable to the born free
man, of asserting his opinions by means of pop- j
ular election, became to these voters, in very
many instances, but a question of barter and 1
sale, and every political canvass was converted '
nito an auctioneer’s mart, at which the vote was *
knocked down to the highest bidder, and the ■
representative of the people was chosen by men 6
whose choice was dictated solely by passion or ,
interest, seldom or never by the calm and steady
influence of reason. The very qualities necesi
sary to the character of the pure and patriotic '
politician, wore such as would inevitably fail to ’
enlist the attachment and support of these men,
who found in the artful and pliant demagogues 1
far more congenial spirit, Thus corruption 1
crept into the high places of the government, '
and the fairest flower, that of integrity and pa- '
triotism, was rudely torn from the chaplet of
virtues that-Washington, Franklin and Jeffer- ,
son had twined around the welfare of the peo
ple.
But it was not only in the administration of
government that the abuses arising from foreign '
population became apparent.
The same causes which qualified these men '
as voters, disqualified them as jurors; and the ■
sacred precincts of the tribunals of justice were I
defiled by the display of verdicts emanating;
from the influences of bribery and corruption,
or from those of unhallowed passions and prej- (
udiees. Every vein and artery of society, civil
mid political, was tainted by this poison, which
circulated through it and the purity of our in
stitutions, as bequeathed to us by our ancestors,
was threatened with total destruction.
Another consequence naturally springing from ,
the habits and customs of this motley popula
tion soon become apparent. Thesepeople, who,
during their whole existence had never had a
voice in the election of their rules, could not
comprehend, and could still less observe that
good humor and obedience to law, which the
party in the minority always in this country,
show to the willl of the majority ; and the elec
tion precincts of our cities, hitherto the scenes
of the utmost hormony and good will, became
the ground of the most disgraceful riots and
disturbances.
It was in vain that the old and reputable cit
izens. children of the soil, and whose fathers had
bled, perhaps, in the cause of liberty, remonstra-1
ted against these excesses ; deaf to reason, their i
newly acquired liberty became unbridled li- ■
cense, and the insolent question -is it not a free
country” from even brutalized specimens ofhu-'
manity, who but a mouth before, perhaps, would
have scringed abjectly to some petty squire in I
his own country, would be the sole answer, i I
indeed a blow was not the consequence of the j
interference. But never while they thus usurped
all the rights and privileges of the native born
citizens, and even in many cases endeavored by
superior numbers to compel them forcibly into
their own measures, these people, with an un
par. Jlelcd audacity refused to combine with them, ■
and enjoying every right and every privilege in I
common with ourselves, kept up. and still keep ;
np, national societies, national festivals, and j
national peculiarities belonging to the land of
their birth. Thus we see that while the slight-1
eat allusion to an adopted citizen’s birth-place
spoken of in a political light by a native citi
jen. is received as illiberal and contrary to
American spirit, it is no uncommon thing to
1 find Hibernian Societies, St. Andrew Societies?
„ | German Societies, Scotch, Irish and German
’ military companies, in which the national col
" ors are paraded through the streets, and in which
.’ all of these very people contend to maintain
their respective'nationalities.
Still the American people bore these outra
-3 ges for many years without a murmur. That
1 strong law-abiding spirit, so prevalent among
' Americans, and so characteristic of an enlight
-3 cued and educated nation, was strong within
* them. True it is that men would reason on the
subject “Why,” one would say, “ should my
’ sons of 18 and 20 years, educated, refined, anil
1 honorable, bred up to a knowledge of history,
laws and constitution of the country, whose in
' tercsts are identified with the soil for which their
■ forefathers bled and died—why should they lie
1 refused a voice in the government, while yonder
beeotted wretch, brutul, ignorant and lazy— who
; has scarcely been in the country five years—
who, far from understanding the question at
issue, hardly understands the language, and who
would sell his vote to the highest bidder, is al
’owed, nay, is-invited to express his opinion by
the ballot box.” “And why,” the young man
would say, “ should we, who are born on the
soil be forced to wait twenty-one years in order
to vote, while these strangers are allowed to
vote after the trifling lapse of five years?”—
These questions would arise—the common sense
of the people dictated thorn—but still the polit
ical horizon did not bode a storm fierce enough
to rouse the slumbering conservatism of the
nation. They saw strangel’s sharing their no
ble heritage with them, but they said there is
enough for all, take the fruits of the land but
do not cut down the orchards which produce
them; they saw many and great abuses, but
they patiently endured them from the deep re
spect due the immortal framers of the constitu
tion ; they knew that they had taken a viper
to their homes, and they calmly watched the
reptile, as catching the genial warmth radiating
from our institutions and laws, it uncoiled its
loathesome folds, and stood ready to strike the
hand that cherished it when suddenly a new
element concealed in this foreign pest aroused
all their latent energies, and they prepared
themselves to battle and crush the ungrateful
monster which threatened the well-being of all
they held dear and honorable. The far larger
portion of onr adopted citizens owned the sway
of a spiritual power which in its ambition for
temporal command never sleeps, and which ‘ in
the attainment of an end, is as unscrupulous in
the means it employs as it is insiduous in its
approaches. The doctrine of confession, a car
dinal point in the orthodox adherent of this
faith, places the church in possession of all
knowledge, jxtlitical and domestic, while that of
absolution holds out to the pious worshipper an
inducement to commit any and every crime at
the simple request of any of the clergy compe
tent to absolve him from the sin.
When we add to this the blind attachment of
these people to the government of Rome, an
undoubted evidence of the fact that the efforts
of the Propaganda were directed to the over
throw of religious liberty, and the establishment
of the Catholic faith as that of the country,
can it be wondered at that the indignation of
the people was aroused ? Was it not a burning
shame that these foreigners, to whom we had
extended the right hand of fellowship, whom we
had welcomed to our homes and hearths, to
whom—just rescued from the most grievous
oppression and want, we had offered liberty
and plenty—should endeavor to use that very
liberty for the overthrow of the institutions
which protected them, and hand over their bene
factors to the tender mercies of a religious pow
er which had filled the pages of history with
experiences of fire and sword, the rack and the
torture ?
True it was that the conservative powers qf
the country were once more aroused for its pre
servation, and the result of their action was the
formation of that organization of which you are
members. That is arose from an actual neces
sity for its existence, and that the country was
rife for it, is evident from the thousands of the
good, the patriotic and the wise who rushed to
add their names to the number of the enrolled;
is evident from resistless power and energy of
its will, and from the provedjdisdamfrom which
it crushes all opposition.
Throughout the length and breadth of the
land, its principles were answered by chords in
the hearts of the Americrn people, and one
year ago, this power, which rules supreme over
the political destinies of Georgia, which embra
ces among her sons some of the wisest and no
blest of the State, could hardly have said to
have existed within its boundaries.
The order was established in this State on
the 27th of May, 18g4, in the City of Savan
nah, and now boasts 270 Councils.
In regard to the spirit and object of the order,
I need say nothing on the present occasion, nor
would I be paying a proper degree of respect
to yonr intelligence or sincerity, did I proceed
to vindicate the order from the foul aspersions
with which the demagogue and foreigner assail
us. One thing, however, I would recommend:
LET THE MOST PROFOUND AND INVIOLATE SECRE
CY SHfiOUD IN UTTER DARKNESS OUR MOVEMENTS,
our flans, our numbers. It is to our alliance
with mystery and uncertanty that we owe our
great victories in the past, and on which we
must rest our hopes for the future. Unmask
our batteries, tear away the veil which shrouds
our proceedings, and you introduce the first
great element of weakness aad disorganization;
you thereby shear the locks of the mighty Samp
son, and leave him powerless at the feet of his
enemies. YOU THEREBY DESTROY
THE ABILITY OF YOUR CO-LABOR
ERS TO ENTER INTO THE COUNCILS
OF THE ENEMY AND THWART HIS
MOST SKILLFULLY PLANNED MEAS
URES. Heed not the reproaches of men who,
desirous of breaking your phalanx, attack this i
strong band of your rowER. Let them anini-1
advert upon this obnoxious feature in a party '
under our free government, doubtless they
would take extreme pleasure in frightening you
from a c ause which ensures your success and
their defeat. Be secret, vigilant and united,
for thus, and thus only shall you attain the high
object of our enterprise and build around the
sacred temple of our institution a barrier im
pregnable to the attacks of all enemies, whether
foreign or domestic. WILLIAM HONE.
A Good One.
[ A very good widow lady, who was looked
up to by the congregation to which she belong
ed as un example of piety, contrived to bring
her conscience to terms for one little indulgence.
She loved porter, and one day just as she receiv-
I ing a half dozen bottles from the man who usu
ally brought her the comforting beverage she
(O horror) two of the grave elders of the church j
approaching her door. She ran the man out of :
the back way, and put the bottles under the j
bed. The weather was hot, and while conver- i
sing with her sage friends pop went one of the ,
corks.
‘Dear me,’ exclaimed the good lady, ‘there •
goes that bed cord; it snapped yesterday just i
the same way, I must have a new rope provid-1
ed.’
In a few moments, pop went another, follow- i
ed by the peculiar hiss of the escaping liquor, i
The rope wouldn't do again but the good lady !
was not at a loss.
•Dear me.' says she. ‘that black cat of mine ’
must beat some mischief there. S’cat 1

I Know Nothlnglsm vs. The Laws
n ! of Georgia.
‘ The able and eloquent speech of Mr. Ward at
. St. Andrew's Hall has waked up many who
3 were hitherto incredulous to the horrors, of Know
N othingism. The part which perhaps has at
" tracted most attention is that which clearly show
p that the oaths and obligations of the Ritual are
■ in direct antagonism to the peace and good or
der of the society, and that obedience to them
, would render the offender amenable to the pen
; al laws of Georgia.
, 'By this ritual” says Mr. Ward, “it is de
clared if the color of the paper be red, it will
’ denote actual trouble, which requires that you
' come prepared to meet it.
t “The Know Nothing is then sworn that if a
certain signal is given he will eotnc prepared to
meet trouble. Will my Know Nothing friends
’ explain what is the meaning of this prepara
: tion?
“What do we understand when a man tells us
1 he is going out to meet trouble, and ho is pre
' pared or fit ? Is it not that lie is aimed ?
How is he to bear those arms ? Openly ?
' What a spectable wound be presented, Ameri
can freemen carrying arms to enforce their poli
cal rights 1 Secretly? There is a Statute of
' the State which forbids it.
' “For the time of danger a cry of distress is
provided, which requires the immediate assem
blage of the brethren.
“la there not a Statute of our State which de
' clares ‘that if any two or more persona, either
with or witout a common case of quarrel, do an
1 unlawful act of violence, or any other act in a
violent and tumultuous manner, such person so
offending shall be guilty of a riot, &c.’ Yet the
Know Nothings are required immediately to as
semble at a given cry when their interest re
quires it, prepared by the vary terms of their
ritual, to meet danger, an consequently assem
bling with a common cause of quarrel.”
Mr. Ward is a good lawyer, and in particular
admitted to be well acquainted with the Stat
utes of Georgia. We shall not therefore at
tempt to add anything to what he said on that
point We may, however, be permitted to add
in support of his argument, further disclosures
of the horrors of this secret political order, that
is seeking to control the destinies of- the coun
try. The following is a correct extract from
the Ritual, as proscribed by the National
Council:
Public notice for a meeting is given by
means of a piece of white paper in the shape of a
heart.
In the cities* the *** where the meeting is to
be held, will be written legibly upon the election
day said*** will denote*** were your presence
is needed. This notice will never be passed, but
will be*** or thrown upon the side walk with
a***in the centre.
If information is wanting of the object of the
, gathering, or of the place, &c., the inquirer will
ask of an undoubted brother where's men ?
The brother will give the information >f possessed
of it; if not, it will be yours and his duty to con
tinue the inquiry* and thus disseminate the call
throughout the brotherhood.
If the color of the paper be red, it will denote
actual trouble, which requires that you come
prepared to meet it.
The “cry of distress”—to be used only in time
of danger, or where the American interest re
quires an immediate assemblage of the bretbern
—is, oh, oh, oh. The response is hio, hio,
hio.
The “sign of caution”—to be given when a
brother is specking unguardedly before a stran
ger—is drawing the fore-finger and thumb to
gether across the eyes, the rest of the hand
being closed, which signifies “keep dark.”
In intimate connection with these signs is
the following harried oath. Does it not contain
the elements of riot and bloodshed ? And is not
he who obeys it amenable to the penal laws of
Georgia?
“That you will, under all circumstances, if in
your power so to do, attend to all regular signs
or summons tliat may be thrown or sent to you
by a brother of this order; that you will answer
aii imperative notice issued-by the propel - au
thority; oltcy the command of the State Council
President, or his deputy, while assembled by
such notice, and respond to the calm of a sign or
a cry of the order, unless it be physically im
possible.
That these oaths and signs are not in reality
idle things, the terrible riot at Louisville is am
ple evidence.
The following is an extract from a letter from
“An Eye Witness” to the Indianapolis Sentinel
which sheds more light on their proceedings end
ing in the dreadful scenes that occured:
“By 10 o’clock the city was under the con
trol of a lawless Know Nothing mob—neither
life nor property safe. At this crisis, Hon.
William P. Thomasson, formerly a Whig men -
ber of Congress from the city, and a gentlemen
of high character and standing, mounted the
rostrum and implored them, as good citizens, to
desist from such a course. He had, however,
spoken but a few moments, when the Know
Nothing signal for blood was given, and he was
instantly knocked down by a club, in the hands
of some assassin who approached him in the
rear. About this time Colonel Preston, the an
ti-Know Nothing candidate for Congress, ap
peared in the First Ward, which is the large
Democratic ward, composed chiefly of German
naturalized citizens, and requested his friends not
to attempt to vote. He stated to them that the
polls were in the hands of the Know Nothing
bullies, that his friends could not approach the
polls in safety, and advised them to retire peace
ably to their homes and submit to disfranchise
ment rather than endanger their lives. The re
sult was. that out of 6,500 votes in the city, only
4,500 were polled. Two thousand Democratic
voters were by violence deprived of the right of
suffrage.”
j Now it is very clear, says the Washington
Btar commenting on thia, that the terrible and
disgraceful occurrences in Louisville grew out
of the fact that so large a portion of its citizens
had taken these extrajudicial and revolutionary
oaths so injurious to the public peace. It will
be seen above, that the programme for carrying
an election by a violence embraced in this ex
tract from the ritual, was literally carried out

I orders to the foreign voters not to presume to
: exercise their legal rights ; in which article is

ings to assemble at the polls to prevent them

franchise.

< I Washington’s Sentiments.
Wherever and whenever a Know Nothing
t. addresses the people he is sure to descwit large
-3 ly upon, and swagger over, the lentiments of

; have been written by him in 1777 and 1778,
i in which be alludes to iwmmisslonj sought for
“ by certain adventurers in the army, aad promo
tions sought for by commissioned officers, of
foreign birth, then in the service. These opin
- ions of the - Great Father of his Country ”
‘ garbled to suit the occasion, and to deceive the
1 unwary, are pronounced from the stump with
t an effrontery truly ridiculous and disgusting.
> Now, wherever and whenever this is done, let
’ the reply be this—that the illustrious Waasli-
ington, long after the Revolutionary War, de
. elated
“The bosom of America is open to receive.
NOT ONLY THE OPULENT AND RESPECTABLE
> STRANGER, BUT THE OPPRESSED AND PERSECUTED
OF ALL NATIONS AND ALL RELIGIONS, WHOM WE
SHALL WELCOME TO A PARTICIPATION IN ALL OCR
[ RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES.”
But not only this, let the demagogues be
1 told, that long after, the formation of the Fed
eral Constitution, WASHINGTON, the re
nowned patriot, and hero of the war for inde-
■ pcndence, in the maintenance and advocacy of
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY, said >—
’ “If I could have entertained the slightest ap
, prehension that the Constitution framed at the
Convention where I had the honor to preside
might possibly endanger the religious rights of
. any ecclesiastical society, certainly I would nev
er have placed my signature to it; and if I could
not conceive that the General Government
might even be so administered aa to render the
lilierty of conscience insecure, I l»g you will
. be persuaded thafcno one would be more zeal
ous than myself to establish effectual, barriers
against the horrors of spiritual tyranny, and
every species as religious persecution—for, yon
doubtless remember, I have often expressed mv
sentiments that any man conducting himself
as a good citizen, and being accountable
to God alone for his religious opinions,
ought to be protected in worshipping the
Deity according to the dictates of his own con
science,”
If these two extracts from his written opin
ions, left like a legacy to the people, do not stop
the mouths of the demagogues who sacrilegious
ly slander the memory of WASHINGTON,
then from all such, let tho people pray to be de
livered I
A Sad Occurrence.
On Sunday morning last, about five miles
rom Camden, near the residence of Col. W. J.
Taylor, the elephant attached to the Circus and
Menagerie of C. F. Bailey & Co., which exhib
ited in our town ou Saturday afternoon and
vening, killed a horse and his keeper. It ap
pears there was a difficulty in getting the ani
mal across the bridge near Col. Taylor's mill,
and after some trouble they succeeded in get
ting him over by another way. The elephant
from some cause became angry, and the horse
coming in his wav was gored to death. After
ascending the hill on the other side of the mill
race, at the forks of the Columbia and McCord’s
Ferry Roads, the elephant again became unruly,
wanting to go to the left in place of the right.
The keeper, whose name we learn is George
West, undertook to punish him; whereupon
the enraged animal seized and threw him up
piercing the poor man through the body, ami
mangling him otherwise in a shocking manner,
so that he died in a few minutes.
Mr. Bailey returned immediately to Camden
and informed the coroner, Z. J. DeHay, who
summoned a jury and repaired to the spot, when,
after the usual formalitions, the jury returned a
verdict in accordance with the fact" viz: “that
the said George West came to hie d eath from
wounds inflicted by the tusks of the elephant
attached to the Circus of Bailey & Co.”
In the afternoon, a requisition was made up
on the Camden Light Infantry to go and kill
the elephant, which had become a terror to all.
A detachment under command of Lieut J ames
J. Villepigue, immediately responded to the
call, and arming themselves with powder and
ball, repaired to tho scene. They aid not, how
ever, succeed in killing the elephant that night,
but went again on yesterday morning, and with
the addition of several other gentlemen, not
members of the Company, succeeded, after a
long and dangerous struggle, in despatching
him.
The Circus Company, which had advert sed j
to perform in Columbia on Monday—yesterday j
—were obliged to take another road in order I
to avoid coming in contact with the enraged ;
monster. We learn that this is the only mau i
which this elephant has killed ; he was evident-1
ly a vicions animal, as the keeper had difficulty j
in keeping him within bounds on Saturday— ;
It is a considerable loss to tho Company, "but
nothing to be compared to the danger that there j
was in allowing him to goat large. This event
has created a considerable stir in our communi
ty, and the thanks of the same are due to the j ’
gallant men engaged in the dangerous enterprise, j

Senator Irvcrson tn Macon.
Alluding to the speech of our distinguished
Senator elect at Macon on Saturday last, the I
Georgia Telegraph says:
It was indeed a splendid and powerful effort, '
worthy of the man and of his fame. Os im
posing presence; graceful in action and man- i
ner, a voice of great power and of singular 1
sweetness, he impressed his hearers as much :
by the felicity of his style and the appositenesa
of his illustrations, as by his broad and states
manlike propositions, and his logical and un
answerable deductions. We do not propose, '
for want of time and space, to follow him ’
thoughout his great argument, or his expo
sition and analysis of the various elements that <
have entered into all parties that have sought
power from the times of Adams and Jefferson ,
down to the present day. He showed that the '
same intolerance that characterized the admin- '
istration of the elder Adams, was now raging '
in the American party, with additional element
of religious proscription, the most dangerous i'
ami demoralizing in its effects that had ever 1
entered into American politics, always except
ing the abolition doctrines of of the American ■
i party North. England more than sixty years |
1 ago had cast off as unworthy of the age, the
garments of religious proscription all seared by
the fires of persecution; and the singular and 1
modifying spectacle was presented without ex- ’
ample in our history, of a portion of American
people, in the 19th century, an age of civil and !
religious libertv, taking np the exploded dogmas I
of monarchial 'England, and advocating them
with more than fanatical zeal. In the lan
guage of Burke in a speech on a similar issues,
“We are told that it is not a religious persecn
and its abettors are loud in disclaiming all se
verities on account of conscience * * * :
they are not persecutors: they are only tyr- i
ants." Speaking of Sir George Savile's act for j
removing Catholic disabilities, the same great'
statesman and orator said that in its protect- ■
ting onr Protestantism throughout Europe."
We must close our remarks by expressing the :
hope, tliat a speech so pregnant with profound'
and statesmanlike views mav be given to the j
public,tliat the Southern mind may be made to
understand and comprehend the true and vital
issues affecting its interests.
Hoop Dresses.—The young ladies of Bus-1
falo have taken to wearing hoops, after the old I
' style. The local editor of the Republic boasts
that he accompanied a handsome young lady j
; down the street, a dav or two since, but being I
unable to get within tour feet of ber. the con-1
versation consisted of uninteresting scrape of;
’ commonplace, conducted principally in screams |
1 and halloos. As a crowning catastrophe, a dog;
attached to a tin kettle ran against her, and
could not be extricated until she reached home
i Owing to the darkness of his situation the dog
t remained quiet, but the persons she met were
■
Remarkable Occalence--A Lake
Formed.
A lake has bean formed on the lands of John
’ Liuaweaver and Christian Bowers, in tins coun
ty. which covers about thirty acres of land, and
is in some places as much as thirty feet deep.
The oldest inhabitant never knew more than
one or two acres of this land to be covered be
fore and then the water stood upon it but a verv
few davs. About two thirds of the land now
covered beltings to Mr. Bowers, and is in grass;
the balance belongs to Mr. Unaweaver, aud is
about one-half in corn.
Tho ground covered by water is surrounded
by higher hind, and tlie o'nlv outlet for water
falling upon it is a sort of s'ink hole on the land
of Mr. Bowers. It is supposed that this has
been partially closed, and the immense amount
of water which fell upon the low land or run
through rivers through the surrounding hills
having no way of escape, formed the pond or lake.
The rain which ceased this extraordinary col
-ection of water commenced falling on Tuesday
evening of last week, at 6 o’clock, and came
down in torrents for about nine hours. The
water entirely surrounded Mr. Lina weaver’s
barn, and came very near entering his house.
No serious damage was done except flooding
the corn, which will be very much injured, if
not entirely destroyed. The water has fallen
about a foot, but it may be weeks and perhaiis
months liefore it dieappeal’s.— Harrisburg Rcg~
tster. B
Brains.—Gov. Trumbull, of Connecticut, on
the occasion of a grand riot, ascended a block
and attempted by a speech to quiet the peo
ple, wlieu a random missile hitting him on the
head felled him to the ground. He was badly
hurt, and as his friends were carrying him into
his house, hie wife met him at the" door and ex
claimed, “Why, my husband, they have knocked
yonr brains out 1” “No they haven't,” said the
Governor, “If I'd had any brains I shouldn't
have gone there.”
The Tamarind Tree.—A gentleman in
Winchester lias succeded in producing the tama
rind, in perfection, from seeds picked out of the
preserved fruit. The Tamarind is a beautiful
tree, and will grow anywhere. The seeds should
be planted in the fall, it grows about four inches
apart. The sprouts are traisplanted when
about three feet high. With the delightful
qualities of the fruit all are familiar.
Thf. Death Penalty in Kansas.—Among
the bills said to have passed the Kansas legis
lature is one apprzing the penalty of death to all
attempts to interfere with or entice a ay slaves;
Also the importing or introducing into the
Ten-itory of any abolition document, tending to
incite slaves to rebellion aginst authority is made
punishable with death.
Good.—Probably the next demand of the
‘American party' will be to have a solar system
which shall be regulated expressly for the bene
fit of ‘the natives’ of this continent
‘ Give us American principles and American
religion.’— Kenneth Raynor.
We don’t know of any American religion ex
cept Mormonism, Shakerism and Millerism.
Theseare native American religions, The Chris
tian religion we believe, is of t'oregin origin, and
its founder not a native of America.— Terre
Haute Journal.
Foreign Cattle.—Mr. R. A. Alexander, of
Woodford, Ky„ has visited all the herds of short
horn cattle in England lately, and shipped for
this country forty-eight of the best animals
selected therefrom, as also twenty-two South
down sheep. He is said to be the largest im
porter of short-horn cattle an America, and eve
ry year ha spends several months in England, to
attend the fairs there and purchase the best
animals.

Barbadoks, —The crop of the present year is
estimated at 40,000 hogsheads. Provisions have
been very scantily planted, which will necessarily
render the inhabitants dependent upon American

supplied, and prices have considerably advanced, j
Antigua.—Occasional shocks of earthquakes

The following rather amusing conversation
recently took place between a traveller and a

. ■ Withdrawals from the Secret Or
der In Cherokee County.
> We present our readers with the follow-1

I progress of Rnow-Nothingism in Chero- j

To the Public.
We, the undersigned, very unwisely and
without mature deliberation joined a Se-
I cret Order, or organization, called the
, Know-Nothings, having t:s we believed,
I principles upon which any Southerner
i could unite. But to our great uiortifica
’ tion and astonishment, what did we find?
• Did we find great National principles yet
( unknown ? Did we find any great Whig
; or Democratic principles? No! butprin
? ciples that would compare with, and suit
; the dark ages of the wjrld ! Therefore,
Resolved, That we no longer belong to
I the Order, and that we feel assured that
1 almost all who have joined in this section
1 have done so without deliberation; and
_ that when they come to review the matter
in the light of reason and reflection, they
will acknowledge their error and retrace
1 their steps; and we deeply deplore the
: delusion of our friends who still cling to
. the Order.
! Resolved, That we do believe in a free
and popular government like ours, Secret
' Polirical Societies are not only unnecessa
j ry but are indefensible, and inimical to
, the genius and spirit of our free institu-
■ tions.
Resolved., That we believe that we are
justified in saying that in a free republic
, like ours, no political party is entitled to
. the support or confideneed of tho people
• which does not expose its transactions to
I the light of day, and freely submit all its
■ purposes and acts to the searching sertui
’ ny of public investigation.
Resolved, That we believe that the lib
erties of a free people are never more sure
ly in the path of destruction than when
, they trust themselves to the guidance of
secret political societies.
Resolved, That we believe the Know-
Nothing party a political fraud, and we
object to the source from which it came,
as we believe that the society commenced
in the Northern States with the Abolition
ists.
Resolved, That we believe there should
be no secret in politice as the Declaration
of Independence declares all men free and
equal, the Constitution of the United i
■States guaranteeing the free right of suf- |
frage at the ballot box to all men; and as i
our. forefathers gained our liberties by shed-1
ding their blood, we desire to maintain I
them and believe the only way to do it is ;
to keep out of secret political societies.

ing areward of ONE HUNDRED dollars tor

Ithe Sheriff’ of said county and State.
And 1 do moreover charge and require all of

NEW' PROSPEcTUS
i OF THE
ATLANTA WEEKLY EXAMINER
A New Southern Enterprise!
SUBSCRIPTION ONLY
One Dollar per annum.
The Wkerly Examiner will after the first day
of August next, be issued to subscribers, at the
low price of ONE DOLLAR per annum, paya
abie invariably in advance.
Many reasons have induced the proprietor of
this paper to embark in an enterpriac never tie
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 lie con
fined though at greater expense, to the South!
ern 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 forwaid
it to subscribers at one dollar, per annum, and
this will [dace it within the reach of the poor, as
well as the rich.
To politics, news, and literature,the Examiner
will be devoted. < >ur 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 ANTI
KNOW NOTHING PARTY of Georgia and
the Union, to which the South can look, with
confident e, to the maintenance of her rights, and
a strict adherence to the Constitution.
The NEWS DEPARTMENT of this piper
shall be unsurpassed by any weekly paper in the
South Atlanta occupies a position, and embra
ces facilities, for the receipt and transiniiMion of
NEWS, unequalled in the South. Every ad
vantage will be taken of th'w, to make the EX
AMINER a valuable news paper to our farmers,
who, in the main, subscribe lor weekly papci a
only.
The Literary and Miscellaneous Department
will al-o receive a large share of attent on.
During the session of our Legislature, one of
the Editors will Lie present to report the proceed
ings of that Body, loi the Daily Examiner—these
reports will be trnnaterred to the weekly and each
subscriber to it, will thus have a complete hlktory
of the session.
A eoncyondent to furnish the proceedings of
C< ngress, and a New York correspondent, have
also been engaged. In short, every thing that
can reasonably be expected of a weekly paper,
will be laid before the aui>«:ribers to the Eiam
iner.
A large and fine assortment of new type has
been ordered, and is now on its way tr»m New
York. We hope to receive it in time lor 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 l>otli.
In adventuring upon this novi enteipitse —one
so imporiant to Geoigia.and lheSouth—the Pro
prietor anticipates a generous support. It is the
first established paper in the Blate, or the South,
with a large circulation, thut has reduced its
terms, thut it uiiiy be w rthin the reachol any man.
Aa such, it is Imped and believed that the enter
prise will prosper.
We appeal then to the people to subscribe;
particularly do we call upon the DEMOCRACY
and ANTI-KNOW NOTHINGS, to standby
us. Send in your orders, by tens and by hun
dreds, and we will send you a large, well printed
piper equal in its every department,to any week-
Southorn paper.
