2 JAM. -NAN. OFPEi. NIA. For Vice Pu ident JOHN 0. BRECKENRIDGE. OF KENTUCKY. Dancing Academy. We are pleased to learn that the dancing school ofMcssrs. Johnson & Duesberry, is flour ishing in our midst. We do not know the number of their papils, but, we learn, that they are sufficient to reward these gentlemen for their enterprize and industry. On Wednesday night, Messrs. J. & D. gave one of their delightful “Publics,” which was largely and fashionably attended, and where a number of the pupils, “on the light fantastic toe,” exhibited evidences of improvement, grat ifying to their parents and friends. Another Fusion. The Know Nothings and Fusionists of the Connecticut Legislature have elected Dixon, a Know Nothing, to the Senate of the United States. This is what we anticipated long since, and it only goes to show that North of Mason & Dixon's line. Know Nothingism, Black Re publicanism, and other isms of the day, arc united against conservatism, or, in other words, the democracy of the country. They m ght just as well all be called “Americans,’ aa to be distinguished by the several party names of “Americans,” “Black Republicans,” “Abo litionists,” and so-fortb. If the country cannot be saved through that conservative spirit and patriotism which now animate the National democracy of the Union, then, indeed, there is no hope for it. The Intelligencer. This paper need not be under any apprehen sions, as to our future, in reference to its noti ces of the “Examiner,” on more than one oc casion recently. “We bide our time" ! — And it may rest assured we shall not fail to pay our respects to it, at no distant period. Contrary to the advice of more than one political and per sonal friend, we have been silent under its re peated ill-natured allusions; but neither polit ical, nor any other considerations, shall prevent that notice of it which its antecedents and con. duct to the “Examiner,” so richly deserve. Be patient in well(t) doing, neighbor, it will be our time ere long. ‘‘The Republican & Discipline.” A writer of celebrity says, “ that the six plagues of a small town are—a lawyer with great knowledge, great sophistry, and no sense of justice ; an ancient physician, with little skill or no manners ; a preacher without any conscience ; a politician without any principle; and a man of letters who eternally dogmat izes.” To thia catalogue we will mid the seventh plague of this small town ofiltlanta—it is the "Republican & Discipline newspaper," with a * Editor whose effusions indicate both his breeding and intellect. We had rather submit forever to all the six plagues enumerated above, than to suffer the sure penalty of any man’s folly who forgets himself so fur as to notice a thing like this— yclept Editor, to whom nature has denied every pre-requisite for that position. Our rea ders will pardon us, we trust, for once again offending them, with a notice of the biped. It is the last time, we hope, we shall inflict upon them so gross an outrage. A Nut for the Know Nothing Whigs to Crack. Go where you may, gentle reader, and you will be apt to hear Know Nothing Whig g boasting of their respect and devotion to Hen ry Clay, and his sccntiments ; and some of them even impudently claim him as having, during his life of devotion to the Union, advocated those doctrines of religious intolerance which they have been striving to rivet upon the peo pie. Now, whenever you hear them at this call their attention to the following remarks that illustrious patriot, made by him, in a let ter to Gardner Jones, President of a Southern -University. It has reference to Catholics and their creed, und will prove a hard nut for Know Nothings to crack. “I have never believed the creed of the Catholics was anti-American and hostile to civil liberty ; on the contrary, I have, with great pleasure and with sincere conviction, on several public occasions, borne testimony to my perfect persuasion that Catholics were us much animated by patriotism us those who belong to the Protestant creed.” The vote of the States on the first Ballot We give to onr readers below, the vote of the delegates at the Cincinnati Convention, from the several States, on the first ballot for a can ■ didatc for President.

We extract the following from the “North Georgia Times,” a paper that os many of our readers well know, is published at Dalton, in this State, and one that has advocated with zeal and ability, the cause of the “ American Party,” in Georgia. In the article below, it will be seen that the Editor of the Times, influenced, we think, by a proper view of the true issue before the South, takes this ground—that if the Cincinnati Con vention “ presents a platform and candidates in accordance with the requisition of Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, and other Southern States," then he will “ support them (the can didates nominated) as the beet means of defeat ing Black Republicanism” For our own part, we feel satisfied that this is a conclusion to to which the whole people of the South are fast arriving ; and were it not for the office seekers anil demagogues in their midst that are striving to mislead them, there would, this day, be but one party in Georgia. From the North Georgia Times. The Ignite——What Ought the South to Do 1 The Presidential contests lor twenty years past, have been decided upon standing issues on measures of public policy between the Whig and Democratic parties. The former can now scarcely claim an existence and the measures advocated by both, have cither been adopted as the sett I d policy of the Government, or abandoned by their respective advocates. New parties have sprung up, and new issues arc pre sented in the approaching Presidential election, upon which the people are called upon now for . the first time to take position in a National contest. It is not safe now to drift along with our prejudices upon the turbulent sea o poli tics with no other guide than those prejudices engendered in past political contests, »r partial ities formed in former political association. As Southern men, it is not in our power to choose the issue, but to select between alternatives.— The issue, aud the only practical issue of the canvass, is that presented by the powerful com bination at the N orth under the name of Re publicans. If uny one doubts the truth of this assertion, let him look to the preparations for the canvass every where, and ask what is the staple of discussion, what the touch stone by winch Presidential aspirants are to be tried ? Look to Congress—to the several State and National Conventions—to the Territories—to the primary assemblies of the people in both sections—and what is the one great controlling issue ? Is it opposition to foreigners und Cath olics—the amendment of the naturalization laws —or any or all the ideas embraced in the American creed ? No. These possessing some merit within themselves, are nevertheless infi nitely too small—too narrow for Southern men to stand upon when their rights are openly assailed by a powerful sectional party at the North : and the sooner the South becomes uni ted in opposing the monster, the better for her institutions. But a very natural enquiry arises, in view of these facts, ■ what ought the South to do t” We answer, frankly and candidly, await the publication of the result of the action of the Cincinnati Convention, and if it pre ents a platform nnd candidates in accordance with the requisition of Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, and other Southern States, support them as the best means of defeating Black Republicanism. If the Convention fail to do this, let the South, with the conservative men at the North, unite in an independent ticket, pledged only to protect the Constitutidna I rights of the South, and preserve tlie Union of the States, and their equality therein, and the pro tection of the property of all, in the Territories. These are our opinions and whatever effect they may have upqu others, they are sufficient to govern our action in the crisis before us. National Democratic Nominations. The wires of the Telegraph brought to us last Friday the news that James Buchanan, of Pennsylvanian, had been nominated by the Cincinnati Convention, the candidate of the 1 National Democracy, for President of the Uni ted States; and on Saturday, it gave to us al- ! so the welcome intelligence, that John C. 1 Breckenridge, of Kentucky was nominated - as the candidate of the same national orgauiza ! I tion, for Vice President. The news was re ceived here with general satisfaction, although there weie many sterling democrats in our midst who were enthusiastic in their preferences some for Pierce, and others, like ourself, for the gallant, ami self-sacrificing Douglas. All, how ever, are united in a determination to give to the nominees a cordial, nay, the heartiest sup port. No sacrifice, save that which would in volve dishonor, will be esteemed by the anti- Know Nothing and Democratic party in this vicinity, or within the limits of our noble State, too great, to insure their triumph at the polls, in November next. But as these nominations arc made, it will not be amiss in us, briefly, here, to refer to the nominees, and the various positions held by each in the public servine. To the Charleston Courier, we are indebted for the following summary of Mr. Buchanan's life, and services. •‘Mr. Bucanan was born on the 13th of April 1791, in the county of Franklin, in the State of Pensylvania. After having passed through a regular classical and academical course of in struction, he studied and practised the law as a profession. Having in herited a predilection for politics, he was nominated in 1814 for the House of Representatives of the Legislature of his native State, and was elected. He was re elected in the year 1815. After having served two sessions, he declined another re-election.— In 1820, he was elected to Congress, and took his seat in that body in December, 1821. He remained a member of the House till March 4 1831. Immediately after his fifth election, he declined further service, and retired to private life. In May, 1831, he was offered the mission to Russia by General Jackson, and accepted the proffered honor. In the year 1834, immedi ately after his return from Russia, Mr. Buch anan was elected to the Senate of the United States, to fill an unexpired term, rendered va cant by the resignation of Mr. Wilkins. “In December, 1836, he was elected for a full term, and in 1843 was re-elected, in March, 1845, he was appointed Secretary of State by President Polk, which office he held I o the close of the administration of that gen tleman. His career in London as Minister Plenipotentiary of the U. S., under the ap pointment of President Pierce, is too well known to our readers to require further notice —sufficient to say that he represented the in terests of our country with dignity, and main tained, under difficult circumstances, the re spect which every American demaads from foreign powers. Mr. Buchanan, as a politician, ranks high, of course, with the Democratic party, by whom he is highly respected, and he has probably had less censure cast upon him than is the usual lot of the prominent politi cian ; moreover, he is respecled by all parties in private and domestic circles.” The Charleston Mercury, that unflinching champion of State and Southern Rights, in commenting upon this nomination, pays to Mr. Buchanan ths following merited eulogiuin. “As for Mr. Buchanan himself, he is, from his whole eminent publice carrear, in present circumstances, as acceptable a man as could be presented to the support of the Southern people, lie has great political experience, great mod eration of character, a thoughout acquaintance with our foreign and domestic politics, and has always manifested those principles of conserva tism that are, in these times of wild and lawless adventure, so important to the peace, dignity, and honorable character of the Confederacy.— We think the whole country can safely entrust their interests to his guardianship. He has been so Ion" and promineetly identified with the history of the country, as Senator, Secretary of State, and Minister to Eogland.that it is quite unnecssary for us to dwell upon his political car eer. Undoubtedly he is, by universal consent, one of the most eminent men of the coun try.” The nominee to the distinguished position of Vice President, will prove no less agreeable to the people of Georgia, notwithstanding there was an ardent desire on the part of its democ racy that one of our own eminent public men, should be honored with that distinguished po sition. Mr. Breckenridge is u young man, about thirty.six years of age. His public career)has been short; but short as it has it has been, it gives promise of an enduring and eminent fu ture. In 1851, he was elected from a whig district, in Kentucky, to Congress; and was re-elected in 185 J. that whig district was the Ashland, or Henry Clay*s district, with whom Mr. Breckenridge was upon terms of intimacy and friendship. After serving two terms in Congress, Mr. B. retired, voluntarily, from public life, to his “own Kentucky home.” The mission to Spain, it will be remembered was tendered by President P force to Mr. Brecken ridge, which he declined ; and it has hardly ■escaped the memory of our readers, that it was this gentleman who had the difficulty with Mr. Cutting of New York, in the House of Representatives, which terminated so hon orably to him. There is yet another remi niscence connected with this gentleman's con gressional career, which, to us, has always been a mournfully pleasant one, if we may be per mitted to use such a phrase. We were present I when, in the House of Represeuatives, he an nounced the death, and pronounced his eulogy, iof Henry Clay. It was universally admitted to surpass in excellence all of the many eulogies that were pronounced on the occurrence of that mournful event, and it made an impression upon a crowded audience, such as we never be fore bad witnessed in the ball of the I louse. Such are the nominees of the Convention! . Georgia ratifies it now. and will prove, in No 1 vember next, her devotion to the South and i the Constitution, by the triumphant manner iu which she will sustain the nominees at the polls! The Cincinnati Platform. We call the attention of our readers to the 'Plalfurirfi' adopted at Cincinnatti, by the Democratic Convention, which will be found iu our paper to day. This platform, it will be remembered, was adopted previous to the nom ination of the candidates for President and Vice President, and it was with the certain knowledge that these candidates endorsed every principle therein embraced, that they were selected as the standard bearers” of the Dem ocratic flag, in the approaching election. We are gratified that the Convention pursued this I course, for it was in strict accordance with the i feelings and views of the Convention that as- I sembled in the eapitol of our own State to ‘ i nominate delegates to the Cincinnatti Conven : tion. Every conservative man in the North 1 and in the South ; every man desirous of pev j pctuating the Union through flic main tai nance j of the Sovereignty and the rights of the States; 1 every man in the South who is determined to ' uphold her domestic institutions, and to main- ! | tain slavery as it exists in our midst; every man i I who insists upon the Federal Government’s, I prompt discharge of its duty in resisting for- ' | eign aggression ; in repelling encroachments ■ I by European powers upon the States of Cen- | I tral America; upon the islands of the Gulf of I j Mexico or the navigation thereof, for any pur- j I pose whatever ; can stand upon that Platform i i and vote for the nominees. And, in addition ■ I to this, every man who is desirous of main- I taining the Constilutiou as it is, and upholding . the cause of “’Civil and Religious Liberty," ' can w’ith cherful heart and a good conscience give to the candidates nominated, their zealous, enthusiastic support. This is all that is need ed to ensure success, and we are satisfied there is scarcely a State in the Union, if we expect those at the North thoroughly abolitioxised, ■ that will not, by the first Tuesday in Novem ber next, embrace within its limits, sufficiency of these to elect the nominees by an overwhelm ing majority. The Atlan'a Intelligencer. ‘The Atlanta' Examinercat Sher iff’s Sale. ’ I “We notice by the last number of the At- I lauta Republican & Discipline, that the office ; of the Atlanta Examiner is advertised to be j sold, on the Ist Tuesday in July, by the Sher i iff of Fulton county, to satisfy executions in ■ favor of the creditors- of Wm. Kay, the late publisher.” The foregoing we clip from the “ Intelligen i cer ” of yesterday. It is a wonder to us that the malice and avarice of that sheet induced 1 it to stop where it did. It might have gone on to state, that not only was the “ Atlanta- Examiner ” advertised to be sold by the Sher iff of Fulton county, but that all the merchan dise in both the stores of the proprietor of this paper was advertised also, as the property of William Kay! Even further than this th e Intelligencer ” might have gone. It might have stated that these stores were closed for nearly a week, and until bond was given by the proprietor of this paper, for the forthcoming of I their contents, whenever the Courts of the country shall determine that the property ofT. | Burke is the property of William Kay. i And the “Atlanta Examiner” will, also, in al , human probability, be sold by the Sheriff' when ‘ the said Courts shall determine the same impor- I tant fact, and not till then. By that time, the Intelligencer, itself, may be in the bands of the Sheriff', or his Satanic Majesty for what we j care- its tender concern for the “Examiner,” j and its vigilance in propogating any misfor- 1 tune that attends it; to the contrary notwifh-1 * I standing. In the mean time, we have onl., to remark to our patrons and friends, and particularly to the Sheriffs, Clerks, Ordinaries, and others who use the “ Examiner ” as an advertising medium, that tZ« regular issue cannot be prevented, let its enemies resort to what measures they may. The news item furnished the public, through the Intelligencer, is well understood here, and will be abroad- It is tb.e patronage bestowed upon the “ Examiner ” that paper is after, and this is no small consideration with some folks. “Over the left,” it will help the Intelligencer one day or othor. So much for the present. As intimated on yesterday, we shall ere long again pay onr re spects to our charitable neighbor. We will thank our friends of the Press, who have copied into their papers, the notice of the Intelligencer, to copy this only, or to imform their readers, that this press has again passed into the bands of its rightful owner, from whom it was wrested at the instigation of an over anxious creditor of its former proprietor. Telegraphed for the Richmond Enquirer. The Democratic Platform. Cincinnati, June 4.—The Convention met ■ at half past 10 o'clock. The committee re- I ported a platform of resolutions : The platform, after reaffirming that of 1852, | adverts to the America party, stating that the ■ Democracy should clearly define their relations thereto. Then follow resolutions stating, in J substance that the foundation of the Union ■ having been built upon entire freedom in mat ters of religion, with no respect to persons or ■ regard to rank or place of birth, no party can j justly be deemed nation®!, constitutional or in accordance with American principles, which • bases its exclusive organization upon religious ; or accidental birthplace. It also reiterates the i declaration of former Conveutioue on the sub- 1 ject of slavery and the reserved rights of the I States; and. to more distinctly meet the issue ' with a sectional party subsisting exclusively on I slavery agitation. Resolved, That the Democracy recognize and , adopt the principles contained in the organic laws establishing the territories of Nebraska and Kansas, as embodying the only sound and safe solution of the slavery question upon which the great national idea of the people of this country can repose in its determined conserva tism of union and non-interference by Congress with slavery in the States and in the territories. That, by uniform application of this Democrat ic principle, the organization of the territories, and the admission of nc-v States with or with out slavery, as they elect, the equal rights of the States will be preserved intact, the original! compacts of the Constitution maintained invi- 1 olate, aud the perpetuation and expansion of I the Union insured to its utmost capacity of cm- j bracing, in peace and harmony, every' future' American State. Retained. That we recognize the right of the I people of all the territories, including Kansas ; and Nebraska, acting through the fairly ex pressed will of the majority of their actual resi-! dents, aud whenever the number of their inhab itants justifies it, to form a constitution with or | without domestic slavery, aud to be admitted into the Union upon terms of perfect equality ' with the other States. Reso/red, That in view oi the condition of i tlie popular institutions of the old world aud the dangerous tendencies of sectional agitation, 1 combined with an attempt to enforce civil aud ! religious disabilities against tlie right of ac- i quiring citizenship in our own land, a high and sacred duty has devolved increased responsibil ity upon the Democratic party ol the Union, to uphold and maintain the rights of every State and thereby the Union of the States, and to sustain ar.d advanc among us constitutional liberty by continuing to resist all monopolies and exclusive legislation for the benefit of a few at the expense of many, and by a vigilant ad - herence to these principles and to the compro mises of the constitution which arc broad and strong enough to embrace and uphold the Un on as it was, the Union as it is. and the Union as it shall be in the full expression of the ener gies and capacities of this great progressive people. The committee stated that the Kansas Ne braska part of the platform was adopted with perfect unanimity. The committee did not have perfect unanimity upon the foreign policy sug gested, but recommend it heartily. The following are the resolutions appended to the platform : 1. Resolved, That the questions connected with our foreign po.iey are inferior to no do mestic question whatever : that the time has come for the people of the United States to de clare themselves in favor of free trade through out the world, and, by solemn manifestations, to place their moral influence by the side of their successful example. 2. Resolved, That our geographical and po litical position in reference to the other States of this continent, no less than the interest of our commerce and the development of our growing power, requires that we hold sacred the princi ples involved in the Monroe doctrine ; their bearing and import should admit of no miscon struction, and be applied with unbending rigid ity 3. Resolved, That a great highway of nature, as well as be the assent of the States most im mediately interested in [its maintainance, has been marked out for free communication be tween the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, and constitutes one of the most important achieve ments realized by the spirit of modern times and the unconquerable energy of our people ; that this result should be secured by timely and effi cient exertion of the control which we have a right to claim over it, and no power on earth should be suffered to clog its progress by any inti rference with the relations which it may suit our policy to establish with the govern ment- of the states within whose dominions it lies ; and we can, under no circumstances, sur render our preponderance in the adjustment of all questions arising out of it. 4. Resolved, That in view of so commanding an interest, the people of the United States cannot but sympathize with the efforts which are being made by the people of Centtal Amer ica to regenerate that portion of this continent which furnishes a passage across the Isthmus. 5. Resolved That the Democratic party will expect the next administration to make every proper effort to insure our ascendancy in the Gulf of Mexico, to maintain permanent pro tection of the great outlets thro’ which are emptied into its waters the products raised on the soil and the commodities created by the in dustry of the people of our western rallies and the Union at large. Mr. Macklin, of Fa., moved the adoption of the platform and resolu.ions. Mr. Eustace Conway, of Virginia, asked a division of the question. Mr. Buller, of Mass., moved the previous question. Mr. Garnett, of Virginia, demanded a division of the question. He ob jected to th? introduction of any new doctrine. The previous question was sustained. A vote by States was called for, agreed to, and the vote taken on the whole report, except the five ; esolutions. The vote resulted unanimously in favor.—Ayes 261, New York not voting. The Virginia delegation asked, and were permitted leave to consider the remaining resolutions.— The Convention then adjourned till 2 o’clock. Democratic Meeting in Decatur. Dkcatvr, June 3, 1856. In accordance with previous notice, a por tion of the Democratic party of DeKalb coun ty met to day at the Court House for the pur pose of sending delegates to the Democratic Convention to meet at Milledgeville on the 4tb day of July next.

Resolved, That we shall await with abiding confidence the action of the Cincinnati Conven tion now in session, and are prepared to do battle for the cause of Democracy and in sup port of any good and true man presented by that Convention. Resolved, That the Democratic party being the only true national party, we regard it as the only organization by which the country is to be protected from the black designs of Frce soilers, Fusionists, Black Republicans,’or Abo litionism in any other form, as well as from the purpose of those who seek to destroy free reli gious toleration and by an adherence to the principles and doctrines of the great Democrat ic party, the Constitution of the U. S. as well as the rights of the States are to be preserved, the rights of individuals respected, and the very existence of the Union to be perpetuated. Resolved. That we congratulate ourselves that the interest of our State in Congress as well as that of our neighboring States is so generally committed to hands worthy of their trust that their manly course in the present exciting session meets our emphatic appropria tion. We say to them, stand by your colors, and when reason and gentle words are unavail ing, and when there is no other protection on better terms from the false, foul and slanderous tongue, even of men in high places, for the take of maintaining the honor of the South and her institutions, we will not object to the use of the cane, as in the late difficulty of Col. Brooks ar.d Senator Sumner. Resolved. That Hon. Wm. A. Powell. Col. Thos. W. .1. Hill. Col. F. 11. Gay. and James J. Diamand.

Holloway's Pills, an undoubted Remedy for Asthma.—Mr- Ellis Wilson, of Brooklyn, New York, had for five years very severe attacks of asthma, which deprived him of bodily rest, night and day; the cough at times almost choked him, and caused him continally to spit blood; he was never safe either eating or drinking,and his family distressed beyond measure to see him gradually reduced to almost a skeleton. Holloway’s Pills, in this case, were as usual, efficacious. This Gentleman med them for eleven weeks, and they effected a perfect cure; he feels himself stronger now than he has been for the last fifteen i years.
