FRIDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1855.
Something New.
There is no better comment upon thegrowthund
prosjxirity of our city than the inducements it
offers tff capitalists to embark in now lines of
business. .Messrs. Dimick & Joyce have recent,
ly opened, in the Hayden block, one of the most
• elegant shoe establishments in the .Southern
country, with the linestand most extensive stock
over opened in Atlauta. The tasty arrange
ment of their store, and the variety of their
stock in trade together with the cheapness of
their goods, should entitle them to the attention
of purchasers in their line. We like to sec these
handsome establishments in our city ; they give
an air of elegance to the place which makes a
favorable impression upon the minds of visitors,
and attract many to our city who would, but for
them, make their purchases elsewhere. Messisj.
ll,i J. know how to please the public, and
from a hasty examination of their stock we can
onestly say that their labors are not for the
eye alone. A call will repay the trouble.
The State Road Again.
The Chronicle & Sentinel contains a lengthy
article on the subject of the sale of the Stock
Cara, at Chattanooga, and although Major
Cooper the Superintendent of the Hoad, has,
over his own signature, explained the whole
transaction to the, people, it adduces testimony
satisfactory to itself, but to no one else, save
the enemies of Gov. Johnson, that the state
ment of the Superintendent is false. Now that
paper must certainly be demented if it thinks,
for one moment, that its rigmarole will have
any effect upon the people save that of con
tempt for its slander of Gov. Johnson. Its
••Roorbacks" have been so numerous, iff late,'
that all confidence is lost in it. Let it • tip."
It can do Governor J olmson no harm 1

they don't jump at the chance of working a
life-time just for their victuals and clothes."

Those Charges.
We do not propose, under this caption, to
devote any considerable space to the refutation
of the charges which fill the columns of the or
gans, and the mouths of the orators of the
Know Nothing party, but simply desire to call
the attention of our friends to a few facts in
this connection, which are indisputable. It is
this : every charge as yet brought against Gov.
Johnson has been proven false, and there is not
a man. who utters or writes them, who himself
believes a word of what he so utters or writes.
Let us trace these charges back to the, first
one—they are so few, it is easily done—and we
find that the declaration was first made that
“Gov. Johnson paid Mark As Cooper 86000
for his vote and influence!” Now this charge
was so apparently absurd that no one cared to
refute it until it was found that the constant
declamation of the speakers of the Order had
actually induced some people to believe that
such .corruption was really possible. Maj.
Cooper then found it necessary to vindicate his
name from any such nefarious transaction,;
and to pronounce the aharge entirely false
which he did at the Cartersville meeting. Dr.
Miller, who had before so industriously circu
lated this report, was present at that meeting
and heard Maj. Cooper's statement. When lie
rose to make his speech, it was evident he was
ata loss for something to say upon this topic,
which had liefore formeel so largo a portion of
his speech. He dared not reiterate the charge
that “Gov. Johnson had bought the Major's
vote,” so he dropped that lie and distorted the
Major's explanation into a charge of “favorit
ism,” against the Superintendent. Well, Maj.
Cooper then wrote a letter in which he set forth
the facts as they existed, and satisfied every
unprejudiced man in Georgia that he claimed
nothing but what was fair, and that he got
nothing which was unfair either to the Road
or to other shippers having equal claims—in
fact that he was not more favored than any
other man upon the Roffd who was engaged in
the same business. No man who read this vin
dication of the State Road from the charge of
“favoritism" could honestly say that it did not;
entirely disprove the charge; and yet there are!
newspaper men and stump speakers so lost to ;
common decency us to still proclaim that Mark '
A. Cooper's vote was purchased with §6OOO of
the State’s money, aud that he receives • <th- j
criminating favors, unjust to other shippers I — I
The worst feature of the mutter is, these men '
know the charges are false when they utter I
them!
Next came the charge that Gov. Johnson
had appointed an insufficient officer without
authority of Law, to manage the legal affairs
of the State Road ; that that officer, Colonel
Cowart, done nothing to earn his two thousand
dollars, and the office itself was a sinecure, cre
ated by Gov. Johnson for the sole purpose of
rewarding a favorite. In answer, it was first
shown that there was no such an office as “At
torney for the State Road;” that Col. Cowart
acted as "Commissioner” for the State Road,
an office created by statute, and that had been
lilli-d by an appointee of Gov. Cobb, before
Johnson came into office; that Col. Cowart,
so far from having nothing to do, was constant,
ly employed, and that he bad saved the State
thousands of dollars in the settlement of the
business of the Road, proving not only that the
office was not a sinecure, but that Col. Cow
art well earned his §2OOO 1 All this has been
proven, and yet we still see the charges tilling
the columns of the Know Nothing organs, and
find the Chronicle & Sentinel office issuing cir
culars to that effect, when thesy editors, and
the editor of the Chronicle A Sentinel all
know that these proofs have been piiule 1
Well, next comes the charge that Governor
Johnson had allowed fifteen box cars, valuable
property of the State, to be put up and sold at
Sheriff's sale, and that they were purchased bv
an Agent of the Nashville Hoad to the detri
ment of the Shite; that the Chattanooga De
pot was levied upon, and that there were other
executions hanging over the Road in Tennessee.
In the first place it has been proven that
ample arrangements had been mafic to satisfy
the judgment of Toole A CO., under which the
sale of several cars, out of the service of the
Ruud, had been made, and that but fur the ab
sence of the parties with whom the settlement
had been left, the sale would never have been
made. Second, it was proven that the cars
were purchased by a gentleman acting- as agent
for the Road, and that the cars never leit the
Road a moment ; that they never went into
the possession of lite Nashville Road or any of
its agents. It was further proven that the
Depot at Ciurttauoogu was nut levied upon,
and that there was no outstanding judgments
against the Road in Tennessee. All these
things were proven by reliable men; but we
see no abatement of the lies and misrepresenta
tions the charges gave birth to.
These are the gin vest cluuges as yet brought
against Gov. Johnson, and his administration.
Tlx'tv ure sonic other minor ones, equally
groundless, which were promptly met aud null
ed down as false— all have been proven bv gen
tlemen of unquestioned reliability as ulteily
false. Ami yet we see them ami hear them ev
ery where 1 What are the jieople to think of
a jiarty that seeks its only capital from lies,
and attempts to build itself upon charges, eve
ry one of which ure untrue —and its leaders
know it. Ix't the jxxiple knock from under the
order this fabric of falsehoods and the whole
mass will tumble into hopeless ruins. Thev
will do this, and the, -intense American fccHug*>
which can ptopogate such fal-diooth. will

which scorns the subterfuges nnd falsifica

ATLANTA. GEORGIA. FRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 5, 1855.
! The Law in Reference to the Qualifica
tion to Vote.
We hope that the following letter from
FRANCIS if. CONE. Esq., the leader of
! the “American Party" in Georgia, and author
i of its Platform of principles, will put a stop to
i the extravagant notions of many of that party,
I when the requirements of the LA W as to the
i qualification to vote. There can now be no
' question on the subject, we hojie.
To the Editor oj the Chronicle if Sentinel:—
| “I have received various letters inquiring my
! opinion as to what evidence tho Superinten
; dants can require as to the qualifications of a
■ voter.
* Tn my opinion, the oidy evidence that can
| be required is the oath of tile person offering to
I vote, as prescribed by the act of 1835—Cobb’s
I Digest 239-40. If he complies with the pro
i visions of that act, nothing further can be rc
i quired bf him. If he swears falsely, of course
; he is subject to the penalties of the'law.
! AU persons who have written to me, will
I consider this an answer to their letters.”

Anti-Know Nothing Meeting in Baldwin
County.
A meeting of the anti-Know Nothing Party
of Baldwin, was held in Milledgeville, on the
i 22d inst, at which Col. Miller Grieve was nom
inated us the candidate for Senator, and Jo
’ seph H. Nesbit; 'Esq., for Representative.
This meeting, it gratified us greatly to
i perceive was attended by several old and influ
ential Whigs, who have rallied to the support
! of the Constitution, and in opposition to the
: “Secret Order.” The Hot;. Seaton Grantland,
so long, so favorably known. to the people of
Georgia; tho Hon. Iverson L. J larris, an iuflu-
• ential member of the Senate and House of Rcp
j resautativos, of our State legislature, for imi
i tiy years, anda lawyer of eminence in our State;
; Col. Miller Grieve, the nominee of tho meet
; ing, for over twenty years the editor of the
; “Southern Recorder,” the leading Whig paper
' of tho State ; and John W. L. Daniel, Esq.,
: than whom a more worthy citizen, and hon-
■ cst man lives in no community; all appear.
> in the front rank of that meeting as oppo-
j nents of Know Notbingism. We njoicol at I
i seeing this public demonstration of the faithj
i that is in these gentlemen, and hail it as the ‘
i b
! harbinger of success to their cause in Old Bald
: win.
Endy- The kind attention of Mr. Bci.ki.ey,
Agent of Adams & Co's Express, at this place,
is gratefully appreciated.
To the Voters of the Coweta Circuit.
Fellow-Citizens :—lt is some months since >
I announced, through the press, that I was a 1
candidate for tho offiqe of Judge of the Coweta I
Judicial Circuit of this State. I did so after
mature delilieration, while a change wua going i
on in parties in Georgia, and during an excite- i
ment in the public mind which a few days, I
trust, will terminate, but which can never be i
forgotten by the people of Georgia. At the j
time to which I refer, two now political jiarties )
were being organized, neither of which could >
receive my support. The first, the Temperance
Party, as far as I could, or can, understand their ‘
principles, I was, and am thoroughly opposed ■
to, because 1 believe, /irst, what they desire to :
effect by law, can only be accomplished by:
•■moral suasion,” and, secondly,, that I then per
ceived, aud now clearly perceive, an innovation
upon the constitutional privileges of the citizen,
which will do more to add to, than suppress,
the evil complained of; much inure than even
enemies of Temperance, if there lie such, cun by
any ingenuity devise.
The other organization was the "Know-noth
ing.' since styled the ••American Party. ’ A
more dangerous party to the Constitution and ;
the South than this, in my humble opinion,
never did exist. Its secrecy, its oaths, its grips,
its passwords, and at a latcdatc, its platform ot
principles, ail, in my humble opinion, is a re
proach to its members, and a ifouble reproach
to those who sympathize with and sustain it;
who would draw support |)oiu it, but who have
not the manliness und boldness to assume all the
responsibility of being members of the -Order.''
These were my opinions, briefly expressed, of
the two new parties that luul introduced tliein
selvesinto our State, and who called upm tiic
jieople to rally to their support. 1 was uot, nor
cuunot be, one of the jieople, or a candidate be
fore them, that could conseieuciously respond to
their call. As an individual, 1 determined to
oppose, and, as a candidate. I also determined
to announce jiublicly. turough the press uufi be
fore the people, that opjaisition. 11 is then,
therefore, as an Anti-Kuuw Nothing, Anti"
Uvurby candidate tor J udge of this Circuit ;
and as a supporter of the cause of the LK.mo
cratic Anti-Know Nothing i’arly of Georgia.;
tiiat 1 uppear before the independent voters oi
the Coweta circuit, it is well known to most
of the voters ot this circuit, that most willingly
1 would have submitted to a nomination of any
ether individual by the party with which 1 ain
now identified, had it thought jiroper to make
such nomination; but it lias not thought projier
to do so. although nominations have been made
in other Judicial Circuits, and i am stilt a can
didate for your suffrages. My opponent you
well know. Personally 1 cast uo reliectivus
upou. or at him. -Is a Judicial Officer, he lias
had every ojqiortunity of displaying to you his
qualifications for the station to which lie wa~
apjiointed. Judge him for yourselves.
But at this particular crisis. wh«m tho polit
ical Issues liefore the country imfeit by every
man to be all important; wlien freedom ot
speech, the press, ami tho right of fair trial bv
jury, are assailed: die political opinions and
sympathies of your candidates for Jndrciarv
honors, are uot to lie passed by as nnimportant:
and no man should be tolerated as a candidate,
who would treat with cuuteuiptnous sileuce a
call from any portion es a free people, for his
political opimous. I do not charge Judge
BaU with being a Know Nothing; bat I
charge that Know Nothings believe him to b
one, and that he not only sympathizes with the
••Order." but that be is run by them, hilly ap
proved, as their candidate for election to the
office he now holds by appointment. Ou this
subject, I have observed that the press has up
io this time, been silent, ft is right, it u but
just to every voter, that not only my, but that
Judge Bulls opinions should be known to
them. On tho Democratic Anti-Know Noth
ing Platform 1 stand. As the Know Nothing
candidate, though silent himself, und as a pro
claimed sympathizer with tho “Secret Order”
Judge Bull stands. Certainly he will not de
ny that he has refused to avow publicly his po
sition in reference to the parties now contend
ing for success in Georgia, after having been
called upon to do so. by a respectable portion
of the Democratic Anti-Know Nothing Party.
Under the circumstances, therefore, fellow-citi
zens, I address to you these lines. My position
before you is defined. As far as I can ascer
tain that of my opponent, I have also placed it
before you. Justice to myself required, in this
election, that I should not appear as opposing
an avowed member of the party—one entertain
ing an undying hostility to Know Nothingisiu.
—with which lam identified. 1 supjiort. J obn
son for Governor, in preference to Andrews 1 —
I support Warner for Congress, in preference
to Hill! I vote tbo Democratic Anti-Know
Nothing ticket all the way through I Does or
will, Judge Bull ? If he does, the people ought
to know it. If he does not, the Anti-Know
Nothing Democracy of the Circuit should not
be deluded into the belief that he does.

the sjtell-word, the mandate of duty. In the
language of General Cass let me conclude this
appeal:
••I have never known the time when the
Democratic party was called upon by higher
considerat ions to adhere, faithfully and zealous
ev, to their organization and their principles,
than they are at this day. Our confederation
is passing through the most severe trial it has
j yet undergone. I nceasing eflbrLs are making
to excite hostile and sectional feeling, against
which we were prophetically warned by the
father of his country aud if these arc successful,
the days of this Constitution ure numbered.
'Hie continued assaults iqtou the south, ujion
its character, its constitutional rights and its
institutions, and the systematic preeeveranee
and the bitter spirit with which tbese are pur
sued, while they warn the 1 temoeratic party of
the danger, should also incite it to muted and
vigorous action. They warn it, too, the time
has come what all other differences which may
have divided it should give way to the duty ot
defending the Constitution, and when tliatgleat
party, coeval with the government, should be
united as one man for the accomplishment of the
work to which it is now called, and liefore it is
too late. It Is the American party, for it has
neither sectional prejudices nor sectional prefer
ences, and its care aud its efforts extenu wher
ever the Constitution of its country extends,
ami with equal regard to tlie rights aud inte
rests ot all. 1 believe the fate of this great
republic is now in its hands, and. so believing,
1 earnestly hojie that its action will be firm,
prompt and united, yielding not one hair's
breadth of its time-honored principles, and
resisting to the last the dangerous efforts with
which we are menaced: and, if so, the victory
ofthe Constitution Idoubt not will be achieved.”

[f'/iimfhe Constitutiunalut 4' Republic!}
' Can ote as they
Please !
This question implies a doubt that ought to
;'bo humiliating to every right-minded American
j citizen. Yet the oaths and obligations by
: which Know Nothings are fettered, justify the
i inquiry and challenge the investigation. It is
; said that for some weeks past in many—per
i hups most-—of the Lodges, the oaths have been
j dispensed with. In some cases prominent and
; leading Know Nothings, have stated to the
1 public that they were never sworn, though it
’ was notorious they had been for months members
!of the midnight Order. These gentlmen of the
• Upper Ten" are, of course privileged to vote as
i they please.
Then, as to the rank and file-—the weak ves-
I seis of the fraternity—swearing in whom Judge
Andrews justifies on the ground that they ought
to have this check imposed on them on the same
principle as the gambler and the drunkard need
an oath to protect them from backsliding. We
hold that an oath of this kind, taken by them,
is not morally binding. No conscientious man
can feel that he is doing right in voting for a
Know Nothing against his convictions of patri
| otic duty, simply because be has been sworn in
a Know Nothing lodge, to do so. A tnancom
! mits a wrong who thus votes against his con
viction. He is derilict in his duty to himself, to
his family, to society, his country, thus to
vote. It is every man’s duty—his sacred duty,
to vote in the way his reason and conscience tell
him will best promote the welfare of society and
of his country.
But the oath, the oath. A voice may come
up from the sepulchral depths and darkness of
the I /><lge in which he was initiated, thundering
in his ears, -‘Remember your Oath," and the
awful denunciation may be called up to his mem
ory.
“Binding yourself in the penalty of excommu
nication from the Order, the forfeiture of all in
tercourse with its members, and being denounc
ed in all the societies _of the s.same, as a
wilful traitor to your God and you country."—
A’. A’, Rilual.
Wo hold that these oaths are but mummeries
and frauds. They have uo moral sanction.—
They were imposed without authority, legal or
moral, and were taken without consideration-
They were taken under the delusions of false
promises and and Ix'guiling sophistries—taken
in .haste , in darkness, and under circumstances
of surprise and bewilderment which deprived j
the noviciate of his self-possession aud free agen-1
cy. It is in the language of tho law, nudum |
pactum, a naked contract, without consideration
aud void. It was obtained under eircumstan
stauces, in very many cases, amounting morally
to extortion. It would require a degree of
nerve and self possession, under the imposing 1
forms and ceremonials of administering oaths in j
Know Nothing Lodges, in which many quiet;
and humble citizens would bo wanting in self- j
possessiqp to refuse, to take the oath thus sprung]
upon them. Many honest men, illiterate and ;
ignorant, have thus been imposed upon and over-1
awed, ftwill doubtless be observed that among
the withdrawals from the Know Notliings,pub
lished in the papers, are mazy that cannot
write, and therefore sign by their marks. Such
as these, are the victims, not the confederates of
the Know Nothing humbug. They have been
deceived into these night Lodges, aud they de
serve the respect of their fellow-citizens for com
ing out as soon as they detected the disgraceful
imposture.
Many, disliking the publicity of a withdraw-1
al. but equally disgusted with Know Nothing
ism, are hesitating whether they are at liberty
to vote in away to express their condemnation
of it. To all such, we say, vote as you please.
Vote for the party you think right. Vote
against the party you think the jieople
ought to condemn. Thus, and only thus, can
you discharge your duty as jiatriots and good
citizens.
Henry Clay’s Opinion oftke Cath
olics.
Washington. March 23, 1850.
Dear Sir : —1 have received and attentively
jierused the letter, which, at the instance of
the President and Faculty ofthe University of
Notre Dame du Lac; you addressed to me on
the 14th instant. Iu that letter they have done
me the honor to express their approbation of a
sjxceh of mine in the Senate of the United
States, the object of which was to heal all dif
ferences, and amicably to adjust all controver
sies arising out of the existence of slavery in the
United .states. Such testimony proceeding
from a highly resjtectuble body of gentlemen,
retired from the world, and regarding justly the
interests which belong to another and future
state of cxietcnce as paramount to all others af
ford.-' me an inexpressible degree of satisfaction.
Nor is this at alt diminished by the fact that
we hajtpen to profess different religious creeds.
Fori have never believed that of “the Catho
lic was anti-American and hostile to civil lib
erty.” <hi the contrary, 1 have with great
pleasure, and with sincere conviction, on sever
al public occasions, borne testimony to my pub
lic persuasion that Catholics were as much de
voted to civil liberty and as much animated by
jiatriotism, as those who belong to the Protest
ant creed
I am surpriserl tlmt, in the seclusion of those
whom you represent, great solicitude should be
felt for the safety and preservation of that Un
ion which is our surest guarantly of jieace, or
der, liberty and public happinness. 1 hojx: aud
believe that the dangers which appeared to
threaten it have diminished, but there is still
great occasion for the exercise of a spirit of
concord, mutual concession and harmony.
1 request you to present to the President
and Faculty’assurances of my respectful ac
knowledgments and accept yonrself those ot
vour resjxtctful and obedient servant,
H. CLAY.

Know Nothing Mishit, r.—The Know
Nothings have only to be placed in jxjwer in
order to demonstrate their want of comjieteiicy,
a well as want of correct principle. The
Philadelphia ixxlger thus notices a few ot
tlie effects of Know Nothing misrule in that
city:
-Every depaUueut of that city government
seems to the laboring under the same difficulty
—waut of money. Even, the courts of law are
unable to jxiy their officers tor want of it.—
Twenty-seven thousand dollars were appropria
ted for the year’s exjienscs of the county, but
when they call for the money, they are told it
has all been expended the first six months ot
of the year. J ustice, has to stop
its progress, or run a few mouths longer on
tick."
IKA. Tbc know-nothings, in their National
Platform, profess great admiration for the ear
lier and “purer days of our national existence.”
We suppose, of course, they can only refer to
those days when Washington called to his aid
the services of Robert Morris, a signer of the
Declaratiion of Independence, and a foreigner .
when he called Alexander Hamilton, afore :gn
er. to preside over the Treasury Department—
to those -purer days,' when Albert Gallatin, a
foreigner, held a seat in the Cabinet, and when
the fathers of the rejxiblic made no distinctions
between native and adopted citizens, provided
thev bad proved v® true patriate,. and
d*voted to the institutions es country.
The Lying Pamphlet.
There is a lying pamphlet being industri
ously circulated, by the Know-Nothings,
throuhont the State, called “The appointment
of Cowart, —the Cooper and Johnson Bargain
&c. &c.” This vile calumny had its origin in
the Chronicle & Sentinel office at Augusta, the
fountain head of most of the slanderous stories
raised against Gov. Johnson, during the present
canvass. Why did not the Chronicle & Senti
nel publish Hon. Mark A. Cooper's letter refu
ting the slanderous charge of a bargain between
him and Gov. Johnson?—And why did that
paper not publish Gov. Cobb's letter showing
how Mr. Cowart came to be appointed? No,
the Know-Nothing Press in Georgia, having
been whipped fairly on their party principles,
are turning their undivided attention to the
manufacture of base lies; —having failed to con
vince the people by argument, they are now
seeking to accomplish their object, by the most
dishonorable and disgraceful ajjfifices.
People, of Georgia, beware of these eleventh
hour lies. Be not misled by trickery. Gov.
Johnson has done his whole duty well and his
enemies know it; hence their low arts to defeat
him. He has made the Western & Atlantic'
Rail Road profitable to the State; hence the
efforts of his enemies to mislead and misinform
the public as to thcyeal operations of the State
Road. He is the only Governor who has yot
made the State Road pay largo dividends, and
for this very reason, his political ojiponents are
coining base fabrications to prevent the Truth
from going into the minds and hearts of the
People. Look out for the lying pamphlet we
have refered to. It comes out just at this time,
to jtredjudicc the public mind when it is too late
to correct its evil tendencies. An Agent from
Macon went into Wilkinson county with these
pamphlets last Friday. Look out for the fel
low.—Fed. Union.
Keep it before the People.
That every naturalized citizen takes an oath
to support the Constitution of tho country,
while every Know-Nothings, takes an oath to
violate the same constitution.
Keep it before the peojile, that the Kenneth
Rayner, tho leader of the Southern Know-
Nothings, says that the Kansas and Ne
braska bill was “an outrage on the North.” 1 !
Keep it before the people; that the leaders
and white kid gentry among the Know-Noth
ings, are not required to take the oath to be
come members of the order but all the wool hat
boys are made to swear to get iu.
Keep it before the people, that their Judges
are many of them Know-Nothings, and under
oath to respond to the “red paper” call, armed
to meet “trouble.”
Keep it before the people, that the Know-
Nothings are publiclv denouncing tho Kansas
Bill.
Keep it before the people, that the Know-
Nothing Order is creating a religious war in the
laud, arraying son against father, brother
against brother and friend against, thereby in
stigating CIVIL WAR iu the land.
Keep it before the jieople, that Garnett An
drews has proscribed two religious sects, the
Uuiversalists and the Catholics, and that, the
organ of Ute Andrews party in Georgia, de
nounced the ablest of the Primitive Baptist
ministers; all going to show that the Know
Nothing order is determined to erect a dominant
church in this country.
Keep it before the jieople, that tho Know- ]
Nothings ofthe North refuse to let Foreigners >
and Catholics vote, but at the same time give I
the free negroes the right to vote.
One Vote.
A great measure is often carried by one vote.
—One Vote has decided the destinies of Nations
and oftener the fate of Individuals. One vote
in the Senate of the last Legislature saved the
life of a human being, when nothing but that
coidd have saved it. One vote give ou iinjietus
to the Revolution, and w;us directly instrumental
in producing that great event. The celebrated
Resistance Resolution introduced by Patrick
Henry in the Virginia Assembly of 1765, over
which such a bloody debate ensued, was passed
by but one vote. It is related of Peyton Ran
dolph who opposed Henry's Resolution, that
after the resolution had passed, he came out of
the house saying, ■ By God. I would have given
500 Guineas for a single vote,” One vote might
defeat a choice of Governor by the Peojile.
Remember that. To the Polls, to the Polls,
Anti-Know-Notliirgs! Come out ‘in sjiite oi
wind orweather." The Constitution of these
United States is threatened with overthrow by
the Know-Nothings, who wish to make it snb
servent Io the Constitution of the National
Council of the Know-Nothing Order. Ix?t no
man stay away from the Polls at such a crisis.
Thcro is more danger to*the Country now than
there has been since the origin of the Govern
ment. For never before has there been started
in this Union a Party, that assumes power to
set aside the Constitution. Old men who love
TRUTH and revere the teachings of Washing
ton, und the Patriots who made our Great
Constitution, come to the rescue!
Young men, who do not wish, in the outset of
Life, to tie a mill-stone about there necks , wliich
will bear them down to politicial destruction
all their mortal days, come out and cast your
vote aginst the secret oateibound Order of polit i
cial Jesuits. Patriots, devote the Ist Monday
in October to your Country. Take a concerted
stand for the "Constitution” just as Washington
left it, and your consciences and your God will
apjirove the act. Be vigilant, be energetic
and leave the result to Him "who doeth all thing,
well."— Fed: Union.
Quarantine at Boston.
A Know Nothjpg order was jiassed yesterday
by the Mayor and Aldermen, ordering all vessels
from Baltimore or Portsmouth to stop at quar
antine station; and if they have come up to town,
to rctnn. there lor a physician s jiermit. It is
true that an epidemic is raging in our sister
cities of Norfolk and New Orleans, but no one
has heard of it in any other city; yet tho order
covers all southern ]>orts‘ although Charleston,
Savannah, Wilmington, and, other places hav?.
during the present and past two montns, shown
a better degree of health than even Boston itself.
A reference to ncwspajiers of either of these cit
ies will show their morality to be exceedingly
small. We cannot conceive the object in view
by the board. It looks as though they were
interested in tow boats or wanted to increase
pilot's pay. It cannot be to prevent the impor
tation of disease, for none exists, (witljthe two
exceptions named) and we did think "tiiat the
idea of yellow fever being contagious had jiassed
away. If anything was necessary it might have
been confined to infected ports, and nor have em
braced places healthier than our own city.—

Tho Chicago Tribune has the following
account of a game played by one of the Presi
dent’s former law clients, which is about the
coolest specimen of impudence extant. It says:
“Some years ago, a fellow by the name oi
Brown was arrested for forgery iu New Hamp
shire, and retained -Frank Pierce’ to defend
him. After a lull iu, estimation of the aflair, it
was ascertained pretty definitely that it would
go hard with Brown, aud that with all the abil
ity of his advocate, a trial would pretty surely
end in a conviction. In this dilemma, he emi
grated to the west, leaving his bail to foot the
bonds, aud his lawyer to whistle for his pay.—
A while ago, a mao by the name of Walker,
being about to visit Washington in connection
with some rail road project in Minnesota, Brown,
on the strength of claiming an acquaintance
with the President, volunteered a letter of in
troduction, to the bottom of which he added, as
a P. 8., ‘Give me a fat office and 1 will'pay up
the old score.' The letter was handed to the
President, who, after reading it* and remarking
upon tho peculiar coolness of the request for
an office, explained to Walker his acquaintance
with Brown.”

Warrenton and Macon Railroad.
\\ e perceive that the attention of Augusta
has been directed to this Railroad, inasmuch
as their contribution of §500,000 to Savannah
\ alley Railroad with certain conditions was
considered illiberal and unjust. The Constitu
tionalist concludes one article on the subject in
the following language :
“Let the subscription (500,000) be used to
aid the South Carolina and Georgia Railroad,
Charleston, -Macon, and South-western Georgia
interest in building the Warrenton und Macon
Railroad. Tlie opeuing of this route is only
needed to turn an immense atuouut ot trade ami
travel iu this direction.”
Let the City Council ot Augusta, magnani
mously tender this amount to tue Railroad as
suggested by the Constitutionalist, und the
Road will be built. Hancock will do her jturt,
and Baldwin will, no doubt, do hers. Augus
ta will receive more benefit than any other
point. What say you, gentlemen of Augusta.

sumption of this article was great at this time,
and large foctuues were made by those who hud
purchased the exclusive right to vend it. This,
among other monojxmin, was set aside by the
parliament that brought Charles to the scaffold;
and byway of showing their contempt lor the
king, they ordered the royal arms to be taken
from tlie paper, aud a fool, with hia caji and
