Rags dale, Agent of the Southern Rail Road, from Brandon, Mississippi, to the Mobile & Ohio R. Road, which appears in our Daily and Weekly issue. From our knowledge of this enterprise, we have not a doubt that Rail Road contractors would do well to direct their attention to it, and, at once, to open a correspondence with Mr. Ragsdale. There is money in it Dentistry. If we ever could be reconciled to operations upon onr masticators, the conveniences and skil ful operators to be found at Messrs. Jones, Da vids & Campbell's Rooms would satisfy us.— We dropped in, in a friendly way, the other day, and were actually so much pleased with the specimens of their handiwork we saw there and the comfortable and elegant accommoda tions they afford, that we forgot for the nonce in our admiration of their fixtures, where we were, until our attention was arrested by a paii of pulicans which, with all their polish, gave a refractory’ molar a sort of nervous apprehension and reminded us of business we had down the street, until then forgotten in the interest we felt iu seeing such an elegant establishment in our city. Which: the Right ok the Left?—New York; Garret <fc Co. Bold by Wm. Kay. Atlanta, Ga. The tone of pure morality which runs through this book commends it particularly to that class of readers who are disgusted with the genera! character of the new publications of the day.— Unlike these bogus pictures of life, thia book evinces a higher intention, on the part of its writer, than to excite a morbid sensibility by bringing up from the deus of vice in our large cities, strained and unnatural illustrations! ot depraved human nature, but she has chosen a heretofore untried theme, and, with a forcible pen, enters a circle of society higher than these caterers to a vitiated popular taste. The er rors of high life are painted in colors at once natural and vivid, without the garish fancies which fill other books of its kind, professing to strike the same mark. It does not startle the reader with deep laid intrigues, and dark deeds but gives a proper et lA ing to more common and more probable alts, which, under the cloak of society, and fcven of religion, abound in cir cles who stand aloof from the grosser herd.— Its appeals to the heart, do not incite so much of pity for the character* of the story, as of self-examination, and tlie reader can readily find parallel cases in every day life, and is in deed a fortunate man if he does not himself fit some place in the dramatis persona. Bucl> books, if eftener read, might produce good ef fects upon the public taste. Served Him Right. The last Macon Telegraph contains the fol lowing, under the above head: “A young gentleman, yclept Alonzo Griffin having expressed sentiments hostile to “the pe culiar institution,” and given various indications more congenial to the atmosphere of Massachn s Its than Georgia, was ordered out of this city on Friday last, and was escorted to the cars'on Saturday, byalarge company of our citi zens. In consequence of his youth and weak head.no violent measures were resorted to, Un people only demandin'.? that he should mak<' tracks Northward. We are informed that he stated that there were twenty others of the same sort in Macon and if the statement be true, we hope it will not. be long before they are all drummed out of town to the tune of the Rogues March. Griffin is represented to be a crack brained creature, and the projier asylum for id such lunatics is north of Mason’s and Dixon’s line.” And they did “serve him right"—just as all such should be served. Let them all serve their “sovereign in the NortA,” where the atmosphere is more congenial to them than that of onr own South. Not unfrequently lately has our atten tion been called to the fact, that, in this com munity. a well known abolition paper is being circulated by individuals, or an individual, whom we know not, contrary to the laws, not to say, the interests and feelings of our people. We hope those who receive, will hand the names of the parties that deliver, them, to Solicitor Blcckly while court is in session. We will soon be rid of both the incendiaries, and their publication. Mr. Wm. Helm and the Gas Enterprise. Mr. Helm, who has charge of the Gas Works in this city has recently completed a similar work in Winchester, Va. From the Republi can of that place, we extract the . foltewing de served compliment to Mr. H.. paid by the citi zens of that place in a meeting of tie stockhol ders of the Gas Company. “At the meeting of the stockholders of the Winchester Gas Company, on Saturday after uoon last, it was determined to hold the annual meetings on the first Saturday in January. The subjoined resolutions, offered by the secretary of the meeting and unanimouslv adopted, will be cordially approved by the whole community. Mr.'Hclm goes to Atlanta, Georgia, when he leaves here: Resolved, That in the ener,retie construction of the Winchester gas-works, which have been completed at an earlier day than required by contract: in the invariable employment of the beet workmen; in the use in all cases of the best materials, even where they exceeded the cost stated in the written agreement; and in the uniform courtesv which has marked all his intercourse with this Companv and with the citizens of the town. Mr. Wm. Helm has merit ed, as he is hereby tendered, the sincere thanks of this Company. Resolved. That, with such an honorable ex perience before it, this Company takes pleasure in recommending Mr. Helcj to the particular attention of such communities as are contem plating the introduction of gas into their midst.

It is almost certain that the Pennsylvania, Anti-Know Nothing, and Democratic Party have carried that State. The “American Par ty’’ after combining there with the Anti-No braska Free-soilers, which we doubt not they will'do in every Anti-Slavery State, have been badly beaten. Philadelphia, the scene of their first triumphs, has been delivered from their misrule—the “sober, second thought” of the people there having prevailed over a fanaticism which at one time threatened to over run the whole Union. Well may theeditorsof the“ S avannah Republican” announce the glad tidings to the Georgia Democracy “without a shudder or a groan”! But for a stem resistance of a large majority of the people of Georgia, our no ble State would have presented the sad specta cle to the Kansas and Nebraska Democracy of the North, of being a Know Nothing State, and, as a consequence, an ally, to some extent, of our enemies at the North and West. From a position like this, so fraught with evil to the South; in its moral effect so pernicious; we re joice that we have been saved, and that we can greet the Pennsylvania Democracy on their triumph, with head erect, and with a proud con. scienciou q ness that we have not only done our duty, but have, like them, gloriously triumphed in its performance. We fear, however, that what we record of Pennsylvania, we shall not be permitted to say of Ohio. The indications from that State are unfavorable to its gallant, Anti-Know Nothing Democracy. The “American Party” there leagued with Free-soilers and Abolitionists, will, we fear, triumph ovor our friends. But few. counties have, as yet, been heard from, and these indicate the success of tlie notorious abolition ist, HALE, who runs as a “Republican'’ candi date God help the country, when such “Re publicans" triumph; when such “Republicans" rule 1 , _ 3rand Jury Prescn’mcnts of Fulton coun ty—Annual Sessions of the Legislature. In our advertising columns will be found tlie Presentments of the Grand Jury, Panel No. 1, of Fulton county. We are pleased to perceive that after n cart ful examination of the Records of our county dicers, this Body reports that they are all in a condition highly creditable to each officer. But one “general" presentment is made by tlie Grand Jury. This has reference to a sub ject all important to the whole people of Geor- return by our Legislature, to Annual, instead of Biennial sessions. We highly ap" prove the suggestion, and as this recommenda tion was made by the Grand Jury of this coun ty, at the last term of our Court, we hope that it will receive the special attention of tlie Sena tor and Representative elect of this county.— We venture the assertion that even as a meas ure of economy, it will prove advantageous to our State. The growing interests, however, of Georgia—her resources which are every day be ing developed—make it necessary that the Leg islative Body should convene annually. The people elect a Governor, and his term, under ex. sting circumstances, expires ere his Executive policy, or acts, are officially made known to their representatives. This, of itself, should be rem edied. The Executive and the Representatives of the people, should confer at least once a year. And legislation, in a Republic, should not be delayed longer than is compatible with the in terests of the people. Comparatively speaking. Georgia, although one of the “Old Thirteen,” is yet in her infancy. We look forward to the day when her million of people will be three millions; when her capital will be ten-fold what it now is; when her enterprize will be the ad min stration of her sister States of the South' and the wondar of the North. Annual sessions will advance what we so confidently anticipate. Biennial seesioas can only retard it. The Kansas Question. We had hoped that this question would be staved off until the people were better prepared to act upon it, and that it would not fall into the deliberations of the next Congress, for we looked for but little of good to the South from the components of that body at its next session, and because we believed it the universal wish of: the Southern people, that the application of the Territory for admission into the Union as a State should be the test. But we fear we are to be disappointed, as it is evident that our Northern imighbors have sufficient confidence in their strength to hope to pass their measures by the approaching Congress, and they are de termined to “make the fight" at once. The South is not prepared for it; she has too many men within her borders whose interest in another issue, as fictitious as it is dangerons in distracting a Itention from the great questions of the day, bus blinded them to this question of paramount importance. When they should have been studying the Kansas Nebraska Bill and devising Wa vs and means to sustain it, they were absorbed in a wild chase after foreigner?. Catholics, and—offices, never for a moment heeding the voice which warned them of the cloud which was gathering over their heads, and when the time comes the blow will fall like a thunderbolt amongst sleeping men. How much better for the South had it been if all the inter est excited in the recent campaigns had beet: centered upon the Kansas question! But so completely blinded have these men become by the false lights which attracted them. that, without tbe remote* t idea of the importance oi the question, they bt we actually thrown uptbeii caps, and greeted wl th vivas, of the full capaci ty of their lungs, mt’n who have dared to op pose the Kansas Bill, and pronounce it a fraud upon the North. Wfth such a state of things existing, men indifferont to and wholly igno rant of the important ibeariugs of the question, and supporting Southern al iesof the Northern euemv, it is no wonder that the reflecting men of the country should look with apprehension to the premature broachit ig of the question.— Were they not confident that the South is uu prepared, and divided upon tl® question, they would say let it he made < once, and with full confidence in the coustltutipoality and justlre M w«uH Mt htiffiata ta ®wt the j enemy whenever and wherever he chooses to at ; tack. But the feeling of security which a con sciousness of preparation gives, they iiave not on the contrary, they feel great misgivings, not in the justice ot their cause, but because they cannot rely upon their men—because the South is not an unit upon this question. Northern alxilitionists and free-soilers know this as well as we do, and will force the ques tion upon the next Congress, relying upon theii ”ity of purpose and our divisions, for suc cess. Their scheme is a deep laid one. and evin ces their determination to succeed, and their re liance upon their voting strength in Congress. The Legislature of Kansas appointed a day for the election of a delegate ; but the Frec-aoil v< - tecs, denied the authority of that Legislature and refused to go into the election on that day. Whitfield was elected upon the day appointed The Freesoilcrs met in Convention and with an unparalleled disregard for law and order, open ly set at defiance the Legislature, and appoint ed another day, the 6th inst.. for the election and the next advices from Kansas will briny us intelligence of the election of Reeder by th- Free soil party of Kansas Territory! Relying upon their ability to vote down all opposition it Congress, hesemen will send Reeder to Wash ington to contest the seat of Whitfield, and thu commence an agitation, which, so far as we car see, can result in nothing but a dissolution ol the Union. Will the Southern people, in view of thes facts begin to prepare to meet the question.— We call upon men of all parties to look into tin matter. Away with this petty war upon for eigners, and prepare to defend your home from a native enemy whose power is a thousand fold more to be dreaded than the ooor Irisl man's or German's can possibly be. Cease tlii , Anti-republican and unchristian persecution e> religious belief, and drill yourselves to meet ar army of fanatics, whose march will be markei by more blood in one year, than a thousand re ligious crusades more sanguinary than any fur nished in the history of the past, can spill.— Let those men and presses who have denied on charged inattention to passing events now sub. stantiate these denials, and prove their faith by their works!

Steele & Barbour :—Above you will find a statement of the general result of th. election in Fannin, which has just passed. O" members for the Legislature are both Demo cratic. so you perceive, although Fannin ha but lately commenced an independent career, i Is in politics, thoroughly Democratic. In n joicing over this fact we should be nngratefu were we to forget to tender ourtlianksto thoe of our kind friends below, who found thei way to the mountains during the recent cum paign, and assisted us in bearing on the Dem ocratic standard to victory. To your City and Macon, these are especia’ ly due—Atlanta having been represented amon us by Messrs. W. T. Wilson and R. J. Cowart and the latter place by Col. Lochrane. While Democracy has such champions as these, it net not fear midnight Assassins, or hyenas clothe, in Coan-skins. These gentlemen were with u for a short time, a few days preceding the elee tion ; and we had the good fortune to hear then address large audiences, upon two occasions, ii this county. Mr. Wilson charged Know Nothingism wit! such a hearty good will—fought it with sue! sound argument—tra i pled upon it with sue! merciless satire—that we must say, if it cai stand such onslaughts as he makes upon it—, simoon passing through its ranks would do n< injury. Col. Cowart advocated the principles of De mocracy with his known ability. Col Lochrane, one of Ireland's patriot’s, ant’ America’s noblemen, (a true Democrat) white he entertained and convinced with logical ren I soiling, in his bursts of eloquence, when speak i ing of his adopted country, told with convine- I ing truth even to Know Nothingism that ai | American heart might beat in the heart of om born in the Emerald Isle. The Hon. E. W. Chastain, our former Re; - reaentative from the sth Congressional District was also with these gentlemen, the servic, which be rendered the Democracy of this Dis trict which he lias ably represented for fom years past, in the last canvass is too well knowi to need further remark here. We will say t< our friends of whom we have spoken that we shall always be glad to welcome them to FANNIN. Shame! Bhamr!—ln Allegany City.

She bewailed her fat in tlie most heart-rending manner, and di dared she could not survive her sentence.

Proceeding on thesi tiasekss presumptions, they declare that the political power there now resides in the people in their primary capacity as distinguished from the regular authorities, and that popular elec • i tion held in contempt of these authorities are to | bejreepected ns the true voice of the real people Sms. Such is a fair description of this and such, too a fair account of theii 0113. . this faction, know the falsehood of these ous—knowing as they do that in a fair 1 a fair fight at the [xilis, they would !• beatea four to one—knowing that in a fair elec tion of a delegate to Congress, as only between two cotestants—a Free Soiier on the side ami lis oppoiKjpt on the other—the fact that they ire in minority would be demonstrated lieyoniSrcavil—will not tryftheirstrength fair yat t» polls with their adversaries. Not dar uig tMiothis, but still desirous to compass theii •’iiruMfs, they hope to effect those purposes by iq«n. since they cannot do it by fair means.— < 'oriSeqtienfly they have resolved, in the choici J WtLlegute to Congress, to bold an election >ne week subs qiiently to the election ordcreil by the regular authorities under a law of tin legislature. This resolve is the issue of a plol which has been cunningly contrived, and to the batching of which, it is fair enough to presume, been given by parties outside of Kan ’S. Inside of Kansas ex-Gov. Reeder has beet ,-Aof its principal contrivers. Outside oi ’T.Ynsus, not ut.likely Win. H. Seward may bi ioanted as one of its chief advisers. With hi lotions of“higlier law,” he could enter most ■heerfuliy into such a plot without violation o. bis politic 1 conscience. 'The plot is 3 emitting one. It proposes to ‘ransfer the battles of the Free Soilers from Kansas to Washington. Its artificers, know ng that they cannot fight their own buttles, "ant Congress tofiaht their battles for them.— I’hev k: ow that Free Soilers are in a minority ii Kansas, but then they think that they are L najority in Congress. They < ount upon a ma ority in the House which will ratify the elec ion of the man they send to it, no matter what nay lie the circumstances under which they ■nd him. They think that, though their dele .ate cannot be elected by tez ~?ople of Kansas ie can be foisted on the territory by an act oi ,'ongress. In other words, they cull on Con ress to choose a representative for Kansas, and ■ hey think their call will bo answered as they would have it. This plot has been brewing for some time.— I’wo month ago The Boston Telegraph publish .l a letter from Lawrence, (Kansas Territory,) n which the writer remark's. -The question (that is. tlie one raised by the Free Soilers) will be brought before the' next 'ongress in a manner not expected by our en ■mies in Missouri, and in a manner calculated > create a great exc tement all over the couti ry.” And again, the same writer says: "If they, (i. c., the Kansas Legislature.) ap mint a time our people will not vote, but leave hem to do all the votin?. and they will send a nan to Washington. The people will appoint iieir own—election. Both delegates will go ii to Washington to cont st the seat—am’ hen the subject must be decided by Congress vhether the people of Kansas shall rule theni \lves or be ruled by Missourians.” Os course it will be understood that thosi vho are called by this writer "the people,” an j ree Soilers. and his “Missourians,' are the op- I inneiits of these Free Soilers. The plot, which is foreshadowed by the cor espondent of The Telegraph, was, as we havi nggested. well understood by the leading Abo tion'sts at the East. Ti.is correspondent tells s that Congress is to decide between them and heir opponents. He clearly enough intimates | ns opinion how that body ought to decide it mt it was left for another of the conspirators nt I tie East to say how they will, must a: d shall | lecide it.

We regret to state that the Mavammn Fe male Orphan Asylum was nearly destroyed by lire yerterday morning. About half past four o’clock in the morning an unfortunate hour for a fire, since mi st per s ms are then asleep.) flames were seen issuin' through the roofol the building. Tne ahirn was given, and the fire companies assembl'd at «>on as possible under the circumstances. They were toe> late, however, to prevent the complet, d.strnction of the furniture and the interior wooe work of the eastern half of the building. It is not known, but believed, that the fire originated n the ironing room in the basement, from fin est the over night, and being confined by the vails, that it burnt upwards, until it burst through the roof, wiien the alarm IlecauiH gener al. Another account has it, that it originated m the clothes press, probably from a spark let tall by some one who visited it previous to re tiring. The wood work of the west ent half or the build ing is considerably charred, and othe damage was sustained by the deluge of water that was poured into it, to arrest the further progress of the flames. We are glad to add. that no life was lost. There were thirty-one little orphan girlsadeep ='the building when the fire broke out. all of whom were rescued. One of them, I.ttcitidn Ophelia Davis, and the Matron of theestablish inent, Mrs. Susan M. Bell, when found, were suffocated, and hut for their instant removal, would have perished. The former was rescued by J arms A. Barron, assistant foreman of Young America fire company, and the latter by F. P. Blair. They were both doing well at last ac counts.

Another Steamboat Collision.—Golden Gate and Ohio—Seven Lives Lost.—The Louisville Courier of Tuesday, says: The “teamers Ohio, Capt. Brickell, from Cincinnati, and the Golden Gate, from St. Louis, we be leive. came into collision Thursday night, about 8 or 9 o'clock, in the Ohio River,just nt Aurora by which disaster both boats were damaged, and seven lives supposed to be lost. From the information we received it appeareel that the Ohio, whistled or signaled th pilot of the Golden Gate to go to the right, which he of course mis understood, and went the other way. The i rm r's engines were then stopped, and the lat ter went ahead to dodge her, but just managed to hit the barge. The force of the collision was so great, that three of the crew and one deck, passenger on the Ohio were knocked overboard and drowntxl and three of the deck possengers and crew ol the Golden Gate were missing, supposed to be drnwned. Tlie bow of the barge struck the guard of the Golden Gate just before the wheel house, raking her pretty well aft. and crushing through to the hull, breaking her timbers, smash ing the side house, and cutting her to the water line. They managed to land her in a hurry, and saved her from sinking. What other dam age or loss she sustained, we did not learn. The Ohio arrived here last night, having re covejed her barge, which the collision broke loose from its fastenings to the steamer. The barge was laden with whiskey, some 40 bbls, ol which were lost overboard at the time of th, collision. The officers of the Ohio think the Golden Gate did not not stop her engines, htti was going ahead all the time. The names of the unfortunate men drowned from the Ohio were Wm. Joyce, Pat. Hennigan, and Thomas McLaughlin. Another tnnn was dange’otts’y hurt by tlie collision. He was on the bow ei l Ohio, and was hurt after the barge wao torn loose fn m the boat. A Balloon in a Thunderstorm—Wonder ful Escape from Death.—Mons. Godard, Col Lutham and Messrs. Hoal, Crippen and Bel man ascended in a balloon at Uinc nnati on Monday. It appears they encountered a vio lent thunderstorm in the clouds, which drove the balloon on, it is stated, at the rate of seventv miles an hour, and that they attained an alt tude of 17.450. Mr. Belman thus describe their descent after dark and during the storm “Suddenly we felt our car rushing over tin tops of trees, crashing and tearing the limlis as the balloon was driven along. Mons. G. gave us the valve rope, and mounting the side of the car, he ordered us to hold fast. In another mo ment we landed in a corn field, and by the force of the wind we were dragged and bumpxl along tiie ground a distance of half a mile; non through a fence; then striking a stump or a tree, or whirling through tbe corn stalks at a fearful velocity; our heads rapped each other, and not unfrequently we saw stars all around Up and down we went, when the car struck n tree, and Mona. Godard was hurled to thi ground, a distance of 3(1 feet; the next moment ■ve were crushed against a tall stump of a tree when Col. Latham and Mr. Hoal were thrown with great violet ce from the basket, the forme, on the back of his neck and shoulders, and tin latter on his breast. Mr. Crippen obeying in struction to keep in the bottom of the car, and 1 holding with a l my might to tbe valve rope up we i-minted. Fortunately we dashed into the limbs of a tall dead tree, and in an instant, tree, balloon, car and aeronauts were flat on tlx ground. Mons. G. had his lip badly cut, and the flesh lacerated on one of bis limbs; Col. La tham an ankle sprained, head, shoulders and body, generally bruised; Mr. Hoal his breas crushed in three riba broken and otherwise badly bruised; Mr- Crippin his head and neck -skewed,' and generally scratched and bruised I was bruised somewhat, but not materially in ured.” Southctn Flour.—There is one interesting feature in the flour trade of tbe present autumn We refer to the fact that the great bulk of fiou brought to 'he New York marine k thu« fur, La been derived from the Southern States, will, h ve not till this year been looked to for tlur commodity.

Marcy.— Sir: It is now a long lime since the eminent scientific works, sot which navigators of every nation are indebted to your zeal and your rights, attracted my at tention. Recently again the Imperial delegates to the Brussels Conference have rendered me a complete report, in which I have taken the most lively interest. I should rejoice, sir, to pre sent you with a testimonial of my esteem, but. knowing the laws of your country, which do not permit you tc. accept anything from foreign princes, I must confine myself to the expression of my sent iments. They'are as exalted as your own merits; and, in my official capacity, I tuny say to you that you do honor to the profession to which you belong as well as to the great na tion which you have the honor to serve. Receive, sir, the assurance of my good will and esteem. Constantine. 'lliis is a high but deserved compliment, to Lieut.

Gen. Harney's Battle.—The Washington Star publishes a copy of Gen Harney’s official report of his battle with and rout of the Sioux under “Little Thunder,” to which itappeods tlie following remarks: Some of the trophies referred toin the-concluding l>ortion of the report are now at the War De partment, and bear from the Indian marks and hieroglyphics upon them, conclusive evidence ol of the justness ofGen. Harney's evident opinion that the enemy were ab< nt the most desperati and dangerous band of savuge on the frontier, the prenetrators of many of the murders which of lute nave rendered the frontier so unsafe for emigrants and other whites passing over it. Those who understand the pressing necessity sot reclaiming from tlie domain of the Sioux the ■ iverland route to California, New Mexico Utah, Oregon, and Washington Territories will at a glance perceive that Gen. Harney anil his brave companions in arms did their duty iu a masterly manner—in the only mummer in which it is possible to teueh such an enemv a he was dealing with that they cannot with im punity plunder and murder cnitgra nts and others crossing the great plains. 1 United States Military Academy—The report of the Board of Visiters to the Military Academy at West Point, J mie, 1855, reconi mends additional pay to Cadets—a more thor ough training in the use of the sword—a fre uuent practical instruction in the lalxTstory— the appointment of two additional Cadets from each State, and that a jrcriod of time equivalent to the added year, and distributed through the course, be strictly appropriated ti the instruction of the Cadets in the Spanish language, in common English studies in belle.- letters, history, federal and martial law, toge ther with the laws of evidence, in the laws ci nations, in the constitution of the United Stater in literature, and kindred studies needful to tbe education of the accomplished soldier.

On the other hand, it is given out that a manifesta tion of some sort in favor of Russia, (as at, effect) is in contemplation.

Anti-Knoii NotliiriK Whig —mer ited Tribute. While the Know Nothing organ of this oily mid its-hot-lieadid Americans' are insultingly talking about -b'u< king the lares' of that noble Isind of old line Whigs, who chose, in the Into struggle, to stand by the Constitution auiiinst the insidious assaults of Know Notlimgisin, and selling them'like slaves in the market, our Democratic coadjutor, the Rcpublit-nn Union, >l'Polk, puys tltern the following mailed tri bute : We cannot refrain from expressing our gra titude towards those patriotic men who have liecn Whigs heretofore, lor the manly Stand duty maintained against the secret Order, und fur the republican principles olourluthirs. In • uir hearts we can find no d If retire of h elin.s towards those who were Whigs or Colmubtw men, or who were induced, front patriotic mo lives, to join the Order, mid have withdrawn >n goal hiith mid stoal up for our princip'es, mid old line Democrats. Wc areutie in la-ling —let us Ik- one in action. As Democrats, we are not only ready to mi lorse every word of this, but we are ready to go further. Though uneompromising'y oppos 'd to it on important political questions in ti e past, the old Whig parly has always eonimui.i!- d our greatest respect. As u parly, it was an lonoraiile enemy, d stinguisked uhke for tbe dglast iutelligeiiceandcund ir, and for unflinch ing (Inline.® of purpose. Above ail, it was not lira dto iiisi ri'K its principles li'urlresly on its lanner, and to stand manfully by them.— Though the Know Nothing organization was irtfully contrived to entrap them mid insidious y sprung upon them, we never entertuhuil any doubt where the honest and intelligent ot such a party, would lie found when tlie Constitution and the principles upon which it Was founih-d, were known to lie in danger. With Mr. Toombs mid Stephens, mid Jenkins, of Geor gia, Benjamin, ol'Lotiisuinii, Preston, of Ken tucky, Hunt, of New York, Johnson, of Mary land, mid a host of others, whose nuniiv will lie remembered in history they early espoused and fought for the cause of civil and religious libi-r --ty. We nred but point to the gallnut bund in our own midst, true men in every time of need, but whom the Republican goes out of ite way to insult, for noble examples. As regards their position on the important issues, now thanks to their noble und generous aid, we loudly believe settli-d forever, deserves io be mentioned in terms of the highest appro bation. By artful management, (lerserveil into the lust, Anti-Know Nothing Whigs were made to occupy a position apparently autagoiiistic to their old friends, and even now in Know .Noth ing organs, which in fact deserted them, has the coolness to talk of the/r desertion. Thus vilii lied and misrepresented, subject to the most in sulting taunts und abuse, the |x>sition of our anti-Know Nothing Whig friends not only vin dicate the honor and integrify of the old party to which they belonged, but is evidwucc ol the highest moral courage.
