ATLANTA, JUNE 19 , 1856.
For President of the United States
JAMES BUCHANAN.
OI<;PENNSYLVAiNIA.
For Vice President
JOHN ('. BRECKENRIDGE.
OF KENTUCKY.
Speech of the Hon. Howell Cobb.
We take great pleasure in presenting our ;
readers to dny with the speech of the lion
Howell Cobb, at the great mass meeting held,
recently, in Philadelphia, to ratify the nomina
tion of Buchanan and Breckenridge. We arc
satisfied that all who read it will feel proud of
this able effort of one of Georgia’s most dis
tinguished and patriotic sons.
The Atlanta Weekly Examiner.
A llcductlon.
“We notice that the Atlanta Weekly Ex
aminer has been very much reduced in size, one
. column being left off from each page and all
the columns considerably StTorteried, making
the whole reduction equivalent Io about eight
or nine columns of of matter. It is now the
smallest sized weekly in Atlanta.”
Some time ago—the precise date we do not
remember—the foregoing editorial item ap
peared in the '‘intelligencer” of this city.—
By what motive that paper was influenced to
give to the public so important a piece of in
formation, we leave the reader to judge. But
while we do so, we beg permission of the sub
scribers to our “ Weekly,’’ to make a plain
statement of facts, which, we trust, will be sat
isfactory as accounting for its reduced size for
many weeks past.
As late as March last, the Proprietor of this
paper made a remittance to New York, for a
supply of paper for our weekly issue. Ac
knowledgements of the receipt of the remittance,
and an invoice of the paper, together with ad
vice of its shipment, were received soon there
after. Since that time, although earnest en
quiries have been made of this shipment, and
for the paper, it has not yet been received at
this office. In the meantime, the supply we
had on hand gave out, and although efforts
were made to purchase for cash, paper of suita
ble size for our “Weekly,” it could not be
procured. The “ Intelligencer ” knew this, at
least to some extent; for an effort was made to
procure from that office a small supply, for
which cash was offered and refused, although on
previous ocaasions, the late Proprietor of the
“ Examiner" had frequently furnished the
“ Intelligencer" with paper on time. We were,
therefore, forced to issue our “ Weekly " on a
smaller sized sheet, much to our regret, but took
occasion to notify our readers that, as soon as
possible, the paper would be printed on a sheet
as large as usual, and in accordance with our
obligations to subscribers, and not to the “ In
telligencer ” from whom we have never received,
and do not now expect, friendly treatment.
We take pleasure now in stating to the sub
. scribers to our “ Weekly,” that, having des
paired some ten days ago, of receiving the
supply of paper ordered lust March, until it
ceases its wanderings, we ordered from the
■Bath Mills” in Bouth Carolina, a supply
which, to our great satisfaction, reached us in
time for this week’s issue. The readers, therefore,
of the “ Weekly Examiner ” will, from “ this
time, hcucefoith, and evermore,” wetrust, re
ceive the? Examiner not reduced, but, if any
change be made, in enlarged form. This, we
feel, will greatly distress those who are not sat
isfied to rely upon their own merits for success
n publishing a newspaper, but who imagine
they succeed best upon the deficiency, or de
merits of others. And it will distress these
too, no doubt, who uot content "with having
all,” will risk its loss, “ by grasping for more."
for the present, wo shall say uo more, al
though we have " enough and to spare," when
ever the occasion suits our convenience and
pleasure to draw upon our store for its use.
For the generous support of our
friends in our day of trouble, we tdL
der our warmest acknowledgements. Tii*

exception to this rule. But. judging fnf n '
tippea ranees, the press here is now in upr<k«
porous condition. And should any one di’jir/

management of its Senior E</»<nr is

Mr. Fillmore s Letter of Acceptance. 1
Mr. FOlinore's letter of acceptance will be I
found in our paper of to day. It is remarkably
brief, uud preserves an omiuokv silence on the
Kansas Nebraska measure. We are not dis
appointed at this, for we felt satisfied long since,
that the doctrine of “ Non-Intervention " bail
uo charms for Mr. Fillmore, and that even if it
had, any intimation that way. would most sure
ly defeat his nomination by his party—“ the
great leading principles" of which, he says, "as
announced in the recent declaration of the Na
tional Council at Philadelphia.” he will sup
port. |
Now where does this declaration place some
of the leading “ American Presses' in this
State, particularly, the ‘Chronicle A Sentinel”
of Augusta? In a late number of the “Consti
tutionalist A Republic,” we see it stated that
the Chronicle A Sentinel, "in speaking of the
platform of the • American party ” which Mr ,
k I’Wntore so cordially approves, uses the follow- 1
\i >g language—that it ■■ is not at all adapted to'
’■ southern latitude, or indeed to any latitude,,
where the people possess sufficient palru.Sii to
,'iuuutuin the< onstdutisiial rights of the South." j
There can be no mistake, then, in our ventnrin !
g assert, upon the authority of the 'Chronielo ji
.t Sentinel, that the platform upon which Mre i <
Fillmore stands is one eppo-ev.' to theConstitn- j i
tional rights of the South, and that those who I
go into his support do not ••/ -u/iue. t t
patriotism ” to maintain those rights. Wha <
au unenviable position for Southern men to j
occupy; . e
But this is not the only objection which |
Southern men will urge against Mr. Fillmore.
His absence is convenient at this time; but j
when he returns, he will be compelled to add a
great deal to his brief letter of acceptance !
Upon the Kansas Nebraska question, the Mis
souri Compromise and its restoration, he must
be explicit, or the Southern support upon 1
which his great expectations are based by his I
over-zealous friends, will turn out to be, not
only “small by degrees." but beautifully!
less.”
The Atlanta Examiner.
From the “ Marietta Georgian " we clip the
following item.
“'l'lie Atlanta Examiner and the Book
Stores which were lately the property of Win.
Kay, arc levied on by tne Sheriff. Their pies
ent holder, T. Burke, assures his patrons that
nothing can possibly occur to prevent the rec
ular issue of the Examiner, let its enemies do
what they’ may.”
The attention of our readers would not be
called to this piece of intelligence, apparently
of no importance to them : nor should we
now refer to the subject of the levy and ad
vertisement for sale of this office by the Sheriff
of this county, at the instigation of a creditor
of Mr. Kay ; but for the fact that a spirit of
persecution has been manifested against this
paper in certain quarters, which it is our deter
mination, and that of a large number of our
political arid personal friends, to expose and put
down at every hazard. From our political op
ponents of the press, in the main : indeed we ,
may say with but a solitary exception ; we have
been treated with all the courtesy that could be
expected from high-minded opponents. The
press of our own party, too, at points distant
from Atlanta, have ever graciously bestowed
upon us that “countenance and aid,” so gratify
ing and cheering to those who not only
profess attachment to the cause they advo
cate, but who, in its advocacy are ever
prepared to do justice to opponents, and
mantain amicable relations with political breth
ren. It is our misfortune, however, to be
located at a point, where, until recently, the
influence of the “American, v or “Know Noth
ing Party,” has largely prevailed over that of
our own. And whether it is that we have ad
vocated our cause with too much zeal ; or, that
we have not been "mealy mouthed” in giving to
the public our views on political questions, and
of public men ; wc have goed reason to know
that the hostility of the leaders of the predomi
nant party in this place, has been directed at us
without intermission, and that it now knows no
abatement. Possibly, it would, in a pecuniary
point of view, have been good policy in us, to
have temporized with their leaders. It might
have.thrown to us that patronage which is now
elsewhere bestowed, or bestowea not at all.
Indeed, in another point of view, we might also
have been pecuniarily benefitted. We
might have held out for price; joined the
clamor here against Governor Johnson, the
State Road and its employees, and have
thus seenred a patronage which has (alien
not to our lot. But we are not constituted
for work like this ; and, therefore, wc have been
forced to submit to injustice at the hands of
political friends, and to persecution at the hands
of political foes. We rejoice, however, that
our shoulders have been broad enough to bear
it all, and that the “Examiner” is destined
still, despite the rejoicings of its enemies, ut the
misfortunes of its late proprietor, to exercise an
influence in maintaining the supremacy of the
Democratic party in the State, and in advan
cing its principles. Its patronage derived from
its subscription list and advertising, alone ena-
bles it to stand against the combined i"Jluencc I
of its enemies; and, as it asks no favors of them,
they need expect nothing from it but what is ,
merited. Into the contest for the Presidency,
we go with a determination to promote the
election of Buchanan and Breckenridge, with
a zeal and energy that shall know no bagging ,
because we are treated with injustice on tluienc ■
hand, or because wc are abused and denounced ' 1
on tin: other. Our friends, therefore, will know :
what estimate to place upon reports industri
ously circulated in relation to the sale ol this j
paper. 'l’he effect intended to be produced by I
these reports, I’ns already signally failed ; as j
I w>ll all such that may hereafter be put in cir
culation. Oar friend of the •• Georgian.” we P
trust, will not misunderstand us. The notice j.
which we copy above, we thank him lor, as it
j was just such a one. we requested our friends ot | J

(and Black Republican" press of the anti

for misrepresentation, and an aptness lor inter
polating, garbling, and misquoting his remarks
on various public occasions for the InSt forty
years, that far surpasses all the dirty work of

honest, independent voters us the South—the

aspect of that portion of it. which are drawn •
up in battle array beyond the limits of the j

I For the Atlanta Daily Examiner.
Grave-Yard Reflections.
1 stood in the midst of the Cemetery of my
i native village C , at twilight's tranquil
holy hour. A subdued and quiet calm fell over
the restless waves of my spirit as. alone and al -
! most a stranger. I mused amid those graves,
i while the darkening shadows of evening closed
■around me. Long years had .passed away I
i since I played around those tombstones, a I
I thoughtless, happy boy. Since that time how '
many and sad changes had taken place ! Here,
I underneath me. iay friends of my boyhood whom !
I had left, ten years ngo, with hopes as bright, I
■ and prospects far brighter than my own. The I
play-ground of the seminary hard by seemed to ■
jmv saddened spirit deserted and desolate. All I
I *
I was changed. Every object around me wore
the leaden aspect of change, and decay, and i
death, 't'he very grave-yard was no longer the j
same Marble slabs and obelisks, with touch
j ing inscriptions, were around me. marking the
spot where slept the remembered and honored
i dead. From their gleam I turned to where a
pile of mouldering rails, overgrown with weed- i
! and briars, enclosed two humble little graves :
I and a tear would come into my eyes, as I gazed, [
| .trieken and sad, upon them. They were the'
. graves of my own dear brother and sister, who
died in childhood and had long been sleeping .
■ in “ a grave without a monument," unhonored, I
1 but uot forgotten. I well remembered the time '
I when those sweet spirits passed away. 1 well:
! remembered the day that the clods rumbled i
upon the coffins of the loved and lost. I well i
■ remembered the shadow that rested on the i
I stern brow of my father, an i the tear that stole '
: down the quiet eheck of my mother. I remem- :
bered, too, tho great grief of my own young
' heart. That was the first sorrow that over
i saddened the spirit that has been so often dim
med and saddened since. I looked upon the
briars, that rankly grew above those lonely
graves, and wept. And while human pride,
oven at that sad hour, prompted the resolve
that a marble tombstone should take their
place, human reason whispered that it mattered
| not, and human faith softly lifted my spirit
I away .from the mists and the shadows of that
• I evening hour. Reason whispered that it had
I been well with those lovely ones that had so
long been sleeping beneath the weeds and bri
ars in that lonely grave-yard—far better than
with the brother who had been left to battle
with the ills, and the disappointments, and the
sorrows of the task-master’s life. Faith, in
her silvery soothing accent, that perhaps that
brother might be permitted to meet again
with those be loved so well in boyhood—to
meet again iu a brighter and better clime where
the weary are at rest and the wicked cease from
troubling. From that grave-yard I came
away, I trust, a wiser and better man.

Palmetto, Ga., June 14, 1856.
SPEECH OF THE HON. HOWELL
COBB,
Al the great Musa MeeDwg in Independence
Square, Philadelphia, to ratify the nomination
of Puchanan and Breckenridge.
Fellow-citizens : All that 1 expect to do
1 to night, if I can gain the hearing of those who
are near to the stand, is to offer to Pennsyl-
■ vania and her democracy my heart felt congrat-
I ulation upon the action of the Cincinnati Con
vention. In presenting to the people of this
country the name of your distinguished son, I
1 ' the democratic party of the nation has paid a ;
> i merited compliment both to Pennsylvania and |
. | the Union. [Applause.] In return, we expect
( 1 at your hands one of those decisive and over-
| whelming expressions of public sentiment which
’; will exhibit to your fellow citizens throughout
the country that Pennsylvania thorougbout the ‘
future, as Pennsylvania throughout the past, |
remains true to the constitution, the rights] of;
the Status, and the integrity of the Union.— ,
[Loud applause, and cries, of still they come.]
Fellow citizens, we have always looked upon
Mr. Buchanan as one of the highest ornaments
which our country has ever produced. He
presents a record which any Pennsylvanian,
which every American may read with pride.— ;
Throughout this land, wherever the nomination
is heard, (and it will be heard in every hamlet
in a very short space of time,) as the name of
Mr Buchanan falls upon the ear ol every
American citizeu, it will be associated iu the
minds of all with safety to the constitution,
peace and quiet to the Union and continued
prosperity to the people. [Applause.] One
of the great elements which Mr. Buchanan has
always exhibited, and which has given him
strength with his countrymen everywhere, has
been the idea that whenever the reins of gov
ernment are intrusted to his hands, whenever
the nation shall look upon him as her helms
man, there will pervade the public mind the
idea of its safety, of peace, of quietude, and of <
prosperity. [Continued applause.] But, my i
friends, it' you desire to forward the election of I
Mr. Buchanan, [voices, We do, We, do,] upon I
principles which will endcar his administration I
to the grateful rememberence of his country, |
which will insure the perpetunity of the Union, |
which will place upon an imperishable basis !
’ that constitution whose provisions have been so ;
ably and eloquently presented to you to-night,
I nsk you to bear in mind that it is not only
your own fellow-citizen of Pennsylvania, your
i own fellow citizens of Kentucky, whoare to be
(elevated to these high, distinguished offices,
i but remember you are giving to a great plat
■ form the . pproval and continuance ofyoursub
| port. Anil in order that you may be ind;ieed
j to make every appeal within your power to
i your neighborsand friends everywhere, and on
i every occasion, allow me to call your attention
i to one or two ideas connected with this presi-
: dcntiul election. I Hear him. hear him.] My
: friends, when the framers of onr constitution
I assembled and adopted that instrument, there
j were the men from the North, from the South,
j ami from every portion of this broad land, met
together for the purpose of organizing a gov-
I erument for mutual protection and general
prosperity. When they raised their voices to
Heaven and asked its blessings on the labors in
which they were engaged, the sons of Georgia
and of Pennsylvania knelt side by side at the
same altar and addressed a common prayer to I
the same God. j Enthusiastic applause.] The
blessings of I leaven responded to those prayers
in the adoption of your federal constitution.—
Tell me. honest conservatives, opponents of the
democratic party—l put it thia night to your
consciences—tell me. would the leaders of the I
opposition forces to the democratic party as
semble this night in ladepcmlence Hall, aud
form another constitution for the whole Union. I
and Such a one as that was ? [Applaule.]
The men who have not the heart, the soul, and :
the sp'rits to form such a constitution, can you I
intrust them with its preservation and protec- :
tiou? Xo. no; applause ] My friends, why is
it so ? Why cannot these republican leaders |
and these Know Nothing leaders assemble in !
your Independence Hall, and organize a gov- i
ernment similar to the one under which we live? j
Why is it they cannot unite heart . body, and
soul with their brethem of other sections of the i
Union ? [A voice. They are all alive.] The j
answer is a plain and a civil one. These men
have excited in their own breasts—have aroused
in the minds of their countrymen—terror, hos
tility. undving hatred through a'; ether sections
of the Union. The result is not merely an
imaginary line dividing them, as the North •
from the South, but they have built up a wall i
of fire, which will burn those who attempt on
either side to approach those on the other side, i
[Hear. hear. Applause.] Carry that feeling j
into such a convention as we have supposed, i
the remit is, after labor, deliberation, and el- i
i fort, the South would retire to her section and
the North to hers. Is it not true of the black
Republicans ? Is it not true of the Know
Nothings? There is but one other party in
the Union. The dense mass of people assem
bled hare have met together to offer their con
gratulations one to the other at a nomination
which that other party has made. [Hear,hear.
Applause.] What of the picture at this mo-
I ment presented before you ? An immense
I multitude of men born on the soil of the North,
. and under the institutions of the North,
i and educated in all the prejudices of the North,
standing here listening Jo the humble voice of
one born in a distant State, upon another soil,
j educated under different institutions, and im-
■ buded with different prejudices. But you, the
multitude and your humble speaker, stand upon
one common platform—the constitution of
lorn country, which must and shall be preserv
ed. [Tremendous cheers.] Why is it so?—
: My friends, it arrises from the fact that there!
i is a bond of union between yon and the people
lof your own State and the democracy of my
own State which is stronger than tho chord
! which holds men together other than these.—
All parties tell you the Union must be preserv
ed [A voice : Yes, that’s so.] The black
republicans will announce that the Union must
j be preserved ; the know nothings will say the
i Union must be preserved—bnt liow ? how l
Onr fathers who framed this Union, when they
' adopted our constitution they did not sit with
armed sentinels to protect them in their delib
erations.
When they-sent this constitution out to the
I people, no armed soldiery marched thiough
' your streets and thronged your country, com
' manding obedience to its requirements, but on
I the hearts of our fathers it was formed, upon
I your own soil, and "by the hearts of yonr fathers
■ it was welcomed and received throughout the
I breadth and length of the land. The same
: heart which formed the constitution is necessa- <
iry for its protection and preservation. If you
I and I can feel towards each other as your fath-
I ers and my fathers felt—if I can clasp you by
the hand and feel the warm return of friendly
and brotherly intercourse, then, my friends,
the days of our constitution will be perpetuat
ed, and the days of our Union are rendered
I forever permanent in the hearts of th? people.
[Applause.] But whenever you suppose your I
constitution can be maintained and year Union
preserved by mere physical power—by armed j
soldiers and sentinels stationed to guard and I
watch the people in any portion or section of i
the country, you have fallen into a blunder
which may result in the utter ruin of all that
is near and dear to the hearts of the people.—
My friends, we must live as brethren, or we
must part. [A voice.: “That’s so.”] There
is no other alternative. When I place my foot
on the soil of Pennsylvania, I must feel that
lam in the midst of friends and brethren,
[applause,] and when you shall pass into Geor
gia the same feeling must pervade your hearts.
Tell me, can a black republican travel beyond
the limits of his own section, and fsel that he
is entitled to the friendship, to the cordial
welcome, of his brethren or fellow-citizens of
another portion of the Republic? [No! no!
applause.] »My trends, in the contest iu which
we are about to engage, allow me to raise one
word of warning to your ears. The principles
of the democratic party, having thei foundation
in the minds of the people, approved the judg
ments, sanctioned by the country, will receive,
will meet on the field, no open or avowed ene
my of those principies. Now, mark the pre
diction. The black republicans and Know
Nothings will go into this contest, and from
the beginning to the end they will be seeking
to draw off the public mind from the real is
sues involved in the election—outside issues
which may address themselves to the passions
or prejudices of the one or the other section of
the country. Let them come and stand before
this people. I present the constitution and
the rights it guaranties to the people of Geor
gia, and the people of every other section of
the Union. IVill they meet me on this ques
tion ? [No ! no 1] I present to them the
principles of the Nebraska and Kansas bill,
resting, as it does, upon that great doctrine
I which was won by the blood of our revolution-
I ary fathers—the right of the people to self-
I government. I stand here o defend the peo
ple of Nebraska and the people of any other
Territory, as I would defend the people of
Pennsylvania and of Georgia from any and
everybody who would seek to interfere with
the organization of their government upon such
I principles as they themselves may desire to
Ito establish. [Applause.] Will the black
j republicans and know nothings meet me upon
-the issue? [No, no, no.] No, my friends,
they will not. [A voice, We are too small for
them.] You kuow the principles ; they com
mend themselves to your heart ; but when
these principles are addressed to the people—
j when the judgment of the people is invoked to
pass on the great questions, instead of meeting
the issue as they ought to do, but as they dare
not do. [Good,] a know nothing will get up,
and he will become terribly horrified at the idea
that either an Irishman or a Catholic is about
to take away the liberties of the country.—
[Applause, and shouts of that’s so.] The
black republican will rise up and present to you
the most terrible picture of men shot down' in
cold blood and slaughtered in Kansas, and every
one of them stays killed until after the election,
and then they mysteriously revive, j Laugh
ter.]
These and other such questions arc presented
to you, my friends, not only us a democrat, as
a Georgian, and as an American, but as a pa-
■ triot, as a man who lives in this Union, who
I loves this constitution, who has devoted to the
‘ protection of the one and the preservation of
I the other the better days of his younger man-
j hood. I appeal to you this night; be not led
off’ by these false issues ; stand upon the noble
I principles which your party has established as
■ the platform upon which they intend to con
duct the issue, and let know nothings howl
aboat Irishmen and Catholics; let black re
publicans republish and reprint their false
clamor about the violation of law in Kansas.
I give to-night, to one and all of them, the same
answer which I trust you will give when they
call upon you to join in indignation meetings
to raisa shouts and auzzahs over these outside
issues. There is one reply, my friends. It is
not mine ; it is yours ; it is the reply which
the fathers of the revolution prepared for you
in Independence Hall—let the constitution and
the law be maintained aad preserved. [Ap
plause.] I, as a southern man, will stand by
the constitution ; you and Pennsylvanians will
stand by the constitution and all laws passed
in pursuance thereof; and if the constitution
and the laws bear upon me and my prejudices,
with the fortitude of a true patriot- with a
heart that loves my country, 1 will say to mere
sectional prejudices that rise up iu my breast,
- Get thee behind me, Satan. I . tand firm for
the constitution and the Union. [Applause.]
The speaker pri-ceeded to urge, in a forcible
maimer, the dnty of persons in Kansas to abide
by the decisions of the constituted authorities
of the country.
He then* addressed himself to any know ;
nothing friends who might be present,’ though
lit appeared very much like “shooting at a
dead duck." Why, he asked, hare you aban- I
I doned your passwords and discharged your;
sentinels ? Why were they right last year and |
wrong uow ?
How could Mr. Fillmore—having sworn, if
appointed, to remove every Roman Catholic
and to select non : for office—take an oath to
support the constitution, one clause! of which
I provides that no religious test shall be required ?
i How could he discharge big duly and save hjs
: conscience tree from both oaths ? To prevent
i his taking the second oath was the only mrde.
If there stirs in your veins, be added, one I
particle of revolutionary blood—if there re-i
mains one remnant of devotion to the memory '
of the Father of his Country—if there is room ;
in your soul upon which the cons'itutinn of the
republic can plant one single !-<ot-ho'd. I beg
anil entreat you. this night, to abandon nut
oniv your oaths and obligations, but the un-'
constitutional principles which they enjoin.— 1
Return to the path frem which you have strav-1
ed.
If a democrat, I appeal U yon by all your |
jiast associations, by the brilliant triumphs of!
your party. If whies I appeal to you by sim- i
ilar recollections, in. you democrats or whigs |
you can find nothing in the history of your
party to justify this violation of the sacred
principles and provisions of the constitution.
In regard to black republicans, he said that
if any one believed our constitution and Union
strong enough to remain four years under the
administration of Willfam 11. Seward, or one
of similar principles—an administration based
upon antagonism to every principle of justice
and equality under the constitution —let that
man support them.,

To /Zre Hun. Millard Fillmore :
Sir: The National Convention of the
American party, which has just closed its ses
sion iu this city, has unanimously chosen you
as the candidate for the Presidency of the U ri
in the election to be held in November next. —
It with you Andrew Jackson
Donelson, Esq., of Tennes-ee, as the candidate
for the Vice Presidency.
I he Convention has charged the undersigned
with the agreeable duty of communicating these
proceedings to you, ami of asking your accep
tance ot a nomination which will receive not
only the cordial support of the great national
| party in whose name it is made, but the ap
propriation also of large numbers of other en
lightened friends of the Constitution and the
Union, who will rejoice in the opportunity to
.testify their grateful appreciation of your faith
ful service in the past, and their confidence in
your experience and integrity for the guidance
of the future.
2’he undersigned take advantage of this oc
casion to tender to you the expression of their
own gratification in the proceedings of the
Convention, and to assure you of the high
consideration with which they are yours, &c.
Alexander 11. 11. Stuart!

Paris, May 21st, 1856.
Gentlemen : I have the honor to acknowl
edge the receipt of your letter informing me
that the National Convention of the American
party which had just closed its session at Phil
adelphia, had unanimously presented my name
for the Presidencey of the United States, and
associated with it that of Audrew Jackson
Donelson for Vice Presidency. This unex
pected communication met me at Venice on
my return from Italy, and the duplicate mailed
thirteen days later, was received on my arrival
in this city last evening. This must account
for my apparent neglect in giving a more
prompt reply.
You will pardon me for saying that when
my administration closed in 1853,1 considered
my political life as a public man at an end,
and thenceforth I was only anxious to discharge
my duty as a private citizen. Hence I have
taken no active part in politics. But I have
by no means been an indieffrent spectator of
passing events, nor have I hesitated to express
my opinion tn all political subjects when asked
nor to give my vote and private influence for
those men and measures I thought best calcu
lated to promote the prosperity and glory of
our common country. Beyond this I deemed
it improp. r for me to interfere. But this unso
licited and unexpected nomination has imposed
upon me a new duty, from which I cannot
shrink ; and therefore, approving, as I do, of
the general objects of the party which has hon
ored me with its confidence, I cheerfully accept
its nomination without waiting to enquire of I
its prospects of success or defeat. It is suffi
cient for me to know that by so doing I yield
to the wishes of a large portion of my fellow
citizens in every part of the Union who, like
myself, are sincerely anxious to see the admin
istration of our government restored to that
original simplicity and purity which marked
the first years of its existence; and if possible
to quiet that alarming sectional agitation!
which, while it delights the Monarchists of
Europe, causes every tr;,e friend of onr own
country to mourn.
Having the experience of past service in the
administration of the Government, I mav be
permitted to refer to that as the exponent of
the future, and to say, should the choice of the
Convention be sanctioned by the people, I shall
with the same scrupulous regard for the rights
of every section of the Union which then in
fluenced my conduct, endeavor to perform everv
duty confided by the Constitution and laws to
the Executive.
As the proceedings of this convention have
marked a new era in the history of the country,
by bringing a new political organization into
the approaching Presidential canvass, 1 take
the occasion to reaffirm my full confidence in 1
the patriotic purposes of that organization
which 1 regard as springing out of a public uc’
cessity, forced upon the country, to a large ex
tent. by unfortunate sectional divisions! and
the dangerous tendency of those divisions to
wards disunion. It alone, iu my opinion, of
all the political agencies now existing, i s pos
sessed of the power to silence this violent and
disastrous agitation, and to restore harmony by
its own example of moderation and forbearance.
It has a claim, therefore, in my judgment, upon
every earnest friend of the integrity of Union.
So estimating this party, both in its present
position, and future destiny, I freely adopt its
great leading principles as announced in the
recent declaration of the National Cou n
cil at Philadelphia, a copy of which you were
so kind as to enclose me, holding them to be
just and liberal to every true interest of the
country, aud wisely adapted to the cstablishd
lishment and support of an enlightened, saf
and effective American policy, in full accore
with the ideas and the hopes of the fathers of
our Republic.
I expect shortly to sail for America, and, '
with the blessings of Divine Providence, hope
soon to tread my native soil. My opportunity
of comparing my own country and the condi
tion of its people with those of Europe, has
only served to increase my admiration and love
for onr own blessed land of liberty, and I shall
return to it without even a desire ever to cross !
the Atlantic again
I beg of you, gentlemen, toaeceptmy thanks '
for the very flattering manner in which you !
have been pleased to communicate the results '
of the action of that enlightened and patriotic !
body of men who composed the late Convention
and to be assured that
I am. with profound respect and essteem, '
Your friend and fellow citizen

From th' Watchman and Reflector. <
Blue Beard. 1
This bugbear of every nursery in Christen- 1
dom was uo fabulous monster veiled in human i
form. He actually lived, moved, and had a !
being in the fifteenth century ; not however, | '
as a long-robed, turbaned Oriental, as the i"
pictures which used to make our blood curdle, ■
would lead us to think.
On an eminence which overlooks the little
vidage of Champtoee, near the Loire, stands*,
th.- imposing ruin of an old feudal cas le. Its ! ]
grey walis bare and broken, rear themselves ’
against tlie glorious sky ; and amid the tumb
ling turrets, the bat and the owl beat their ,
wings and shriek in their midnight revels. Zhe
superstitions peasantry avoid the neighborhood
f.om fear, and when the storm whistlesand the £
wind moans, they imagine the sounds to be j
wails from th injured dead of the old ruin.— i
The dread of the place is not a new feelipg. ?
but has existed among succeeding generations
of peasantry since the reign of Charles the
Seventh. It was at that time the dwelling of
Gilles de Retz, a feudal baron, who. as he was
then, and still is called, the Barbe Ble'.i,’’ was.
no doubt, the original of our time-honored, or
rather feared, Blue Beard. His deedsof blood
which were but the every day incidents of hh
life, made him the terror of the surrounding
region.
The hart- mention of his name was enough
to subdue the most rebellions urchin into sub
mission; and even the parents believed that the
winds which reached them by passing over
his domain, were sulphur tainted.
Well does the history of this man reveal the
dark superstition of the fifteenth century, and
also the impunity with which one in high rank
might commit the most revolting crimes against
humanity. De Retz had once been in possesion
of immense estates and untold wealth. But by
the most debasing excesses he not only squan
dered his fortune, but also ruined his constitu
tion, so, that, while yet a young man, he bore
the appearance of decrepitude and old age.—
He could not, however, consent to pay the
penalty of his sin by becoming old before his
time. In the blindness of his superstition he
conceived the hope of reclaiming both health
and wealth by the power of magic. Having
heard of a famous Italian alehyinist who had
performed some great meracles by this ar*, he
sent for him to the castle.
The cunning magician at once read his man,
and encouraged his hopes ; he was, therefore,
employed at a high price to undertake the work
and invited to make the lofty castle his home.
The first act was the winning back of health
and vigor, without which all other treasures
are of little avail. Numberless were the arts
he tried, and mysterious the preparations he
made. The dark dungeons and secret sub
terranean passages beneath the castle were the
scene of his work. Here the terified peasantry
imagined that the Italian made a compact with
the Prince of Darkness, and sold the duped De |
Retz to him in compensation for his aid iu res
toring hisjiealth. Among many nonsensical
and harmless experiments, were also some of a
cruel an abominable character. He induced
his infatuated employee to believe there ex
ists in blood of infants a dharm for restoring
youth and vigor. He assured him that by '
bathing daily iu the blood of these innocents. I
the pure young life which had so lately coursed I
through their tiny veins would be transfered to j
his own.
The bloody baron did not shrink for one mo
ment from the commission of the horrid crime
which this prescription rendered necessary.—
'fender infants were secretly stolen or forcibly
torn from their parents, and kept in the dun
geons of the castle till their bl»od was requir
ed. It is believed that not less than one hun
dred humble mothers were thus deprived of
their youngest born. This fiend in human
shape hired a magician but not a murderer.—
That office he reserved for himself, nor did his
savage nature shrink from the horrid work it
imposed. With his own hand did he pierce
the hearts of his affrighted little victims until
there was blood sufficient to covet w his emaci
ated body. This is one instance of the cruelty
of De Retz. We think very likely his wives
shared the fate of the poor infants, and that
the story of Blue Beard in wide trousers, loose
robe and turban, was not exaggerated.
But crime cannot always go unpunished.—
Even then, when the rich ruled over the poor,
justice and mercy triumphed at last. The
cries and entreaties of heart-broken people
around his domains reached the ears of his su
perior, Jean V. He was arrested and brought
before a tribunal of justice. His palace was
thrown open to public gaze, aud its horrid dens
and vaults were swift witnesses against him.
He was found guilty of murders by scores, and
after confessing many erimes, before unkown
he was burnt at the stake iu Nantes, 1440.
This was the original of “Blue Beard,” and
there, although more than four hundred years
have passed away since he paid the penalty of
hjs crimes, the broken walls and jagged turrets
still stand as a memorial that the wicked shall
shall not go unpunished,
k'row the Au"usta\Constutionaist.
Buchanan, Fillmrc and Cuba.
The New York “Evening Post” a Black
Republican journal of June 9th, says Mr. Buch
anan “had the nerve to sign the Ostend mani
festo .proposing to seize upon Cubavoß advan-
TAO EOF THE SI.AVEIIOI.DTNO INTEREST. "
The “Chronicle and Sentinel” of the 11th
inst. condemns Mr. Buchanan for being con
nected with the Ostend manifesto.
The platform and principles of the Know
Nothing party of Georgia, promulgated at Ma
con, on the 27th June. 1855, toek almost the
identical ground that was assumed in the Os
tend manifesto, and even condemned the present
administration for not being even more ener
getic in obtaining possession of Ct>ba,
One of the gentlemen who addressed the
Know Nothing meeting on Saturday night, we
are informed, urged, as an objection to Mr.
Buchanan, that be had favored the purchase
of Cuba, and in the event of not being able to
effect the purchase, then he was in favor of ta
king possession of it upon the principle that
self-preservation was the first law of nature
and applicable as well to nations as individ-
I nals. For thia Mr, Buchanna was condemn
ed.
The opposition to Mr. Buchanan is rather
of a queer discription, and affords aa much am
usement to his friends, as it doubtless excites
interest in his adversaries.
And while Cuba is the subject, how many
of our people remember the bloody massacre o’s
more than fifty Americans citizens at Havanna,
without a trial, or the shawdow of it, because
they were branded as“ontlaws and pirates” by,
Mr. Fillmore. It has been frequently charged
agaiust him, and never denied, that we have
seen, Mr. Fillmore prevented our Consul, Mr.
Allen F. Owen, from interfering in behalf of
his countrymen, and when he had fiilly obeyed
the instructions from Mr. Fillmore, Mr. Owen
was removed from the Consulate to appease the
virtuous indignation which was aroused in eve
ry section of our land against the massaire of
our citizens.
When the subject of Cub* is up for discus
sion, let not the name of Fillmore be mention
tioned—the blood of more than fifty of our cit
izens cries from the encrimsoned plaza of Ha
vana—brea.he not Fillmore’s name.
s®" At the Anti-Slavery Convention held
at the Melodeon, Boston, during Anniversary
week, a number of New Englaud, I’rotestaut
Ministers of the Gospel were present. During
the proceedings, a Mr. Rernond, a colored man,
addressed the assembly for some time, and de
nounced the Father of his country in the most
insulting manner, and -said, " the sooi ni»rei.
George Washington had enslaved his fellow
men.”
Suppose that an Irishman (which God forbid)
should utter such a sentiment as was expressed
by the black rascal referred to, what a hue and
cry wonld be raised throughout the country by
the know-nothing press!.' I Why, there would
be danger of having the houses torrf down over
our heads. And yet this fellow was permitted
to utter such language iu Boston, without one
word of comment from the press I — Boston Pi-
A : habi- Jcrv. A few years ago, when the
famous reform measure, the “County Court’
system, was in vogue, there was a trial called
on in one of the interior counties of Michigan.
A jury was called the case was heated.and the
twelve’ wise men withdrew to deliberate. After
a short absence they returned into court and
and took their seets. The roll being called,
1 the judge asked them if they had agreecd upon
I a verdict.
Foreman—Young man, we have.
Judge—Well, sir, for whom do you find.
Foreman—For ourselves.
Judge—What do you mean, sir?
Foreman—We mean that we have found a
verdict for one of the parties, which you can
have by paying our fees.
Judge—But, sir, you have been regularly
empanelled and ar bound to deliver your
verdict now, and look to the county for your
pay-
Foreman—Now Judge, don't talk so. I ts
no use; I'll be hanged if you can have the ver
dict until you pay us onr fees. We understand
how to get our pay in the County Court, bnt

The Late Attempted Kohbery.
Two men, named Edward Wallace and Jo
seph Doiiben. have been arrested by the police
on suspicion of being concernrd in the late at
tempted robbery of Messrs. L. B. Duck X i’o.
ihe Grand Jury upon hearing the evidence,
i found true bills against them, and they accord
ingly will stand their trial. 'l’lie link connect
ing them with the robbery, is truly a slight one
in appearance, but will probably prove strong
enough in the end. It seems that soon after
the burglarious attempt, :i pis-kct was picked
up, containing gun powder. It was preserved,
I and is now found to fit precisely a coat found
l in the room where 11. and W., have been stay
ing. and which is minus a pocket 1 The men
disown the coat, but one of our clothing mer
chants swears to its having been worn by one
of them to bis store, and there pulled off for the
purpose of trying on another.
But the most interesting feature of the ease
is yet to come. A few days since a large
amomrt of valuable jewelry was found concealei]
under a house in this city, and there can be no
doubt that these parties know all about that
affair also. A jewelry store was robbed in
Montgomery to the amount of $3,000, on the
2d inst. D. and W. arrived here on the 3d ;
have ever since been selling jewelry and barter
ing it away at houses of ill-fame, and for clothes
and various other articles, always at amazingly
low prices : they also paid a visit to the prem
ises where the pile was concealed, on Friday
last, and made some threats against a woman
who lives there, should she speak of their visit.
It is thought that three others belong to this
delectable party ; and wc trust they may not
be deprived of "their share of justice. Since
the arrest of D. and W., jewelry has “riz,” and
can no longer be bought for a song.— Columbus
Sun.
A Prussian sailor, says the Boston “ Trans
cript,’’ named John Verer, was robbed of all
bis money, about 870, early last evening, by
another sailor named John Reardon, who was
seen to commit the act. Verer was deeply
afflicted in mind ou realizing bis loss, and soon
retired to his room at his boarding house. He
committed suicide by hanging himself with a
rope tied to the door handle and thrown over
the top of the door. His lifeless body was dis
covered about half past seven o’clock last eve
ning, and Coroner Stedman was called.
'l’he deceased was about 42 years of age, and
leaves a wife and five children in his native
country. Reardon, the. heartless robber, was
arrested during the evening by officers Well
man and Leonard, of the Harbor Police, and
committed to jail. He was brought before the
Police Court this morning, and in default of
bail in $2500, was committed for trial.
Has the thing Lit ? A gawky awkward
oy. was once at a depot on one of the Geor
gia railroads, and was of corse deeply interes
ted in gazing—for the first time—at the “migh
ty fixing.” Finally he got inside of a car, and
while indulging his unbounded curiosity, the
whistle screamed, the bell rang, and the steam
horse began to urge at the rate of “two-forty.’
“Oh lordy,” shouted the boy, “stop it, stop it
J ain’t agwine, and bursting forward he open
ed tho doore and jumped out on the platform.
Just then the train was crossing- a deep caver
nous looking gorge on trustlework, and seeing
the earth and trees beneath him, he fainted and
i fell. Directly be came to, and looking up
the conductor who stood by him, he exclaimed
with a deep sigh, “O lordee, stranger, has the
thing lit?”
Against White Freedom.—ln a meeting
in Boston, which was addressed by Benjamin
F. Hallet, the following dialogue occurred :
Mr. Sweet: No, sir, Ido not agree with
that, but are your in favor of freedom ?
Mr. Hallet: Yes all over.
Mr. Sweet: I thought you were in favor of
slavery.
Mr. Hallet: That is another of your unhap
py delusions. Now, let us tost this clumor of
anti-Kansas men about “freedom” definitions.
Allow me to ask, are you, in favor of free
dom.
Mr. Sweet: Certainly 1 am.
Mr. Hallet: Arc you in favor of the freedom
of the white people of Kansas, Nebraska and
other territories to settle the question of slave
ry for themselves ?
Mr, Sweet: No, sir, lam not.
Mr. Hallet: Then you are not in favor of
white freedom, but only negro freedom. That
is the test point.”
A Bad Witness.—The witness who went
North and made the statement that he saw Mr
1 Keitt standing near, during the Sumner assaul.
with a pistol under his coat is thus noticed by
the Providence (R. I.) Post:
J’he Dr. Bunting who makes the statement
is an imposter, swindler and villj a n, altogether
too well known in this city to need an extended
notice from us. Wc expect to hear of him
next, as “Lieutenant Colonel” Bunting, direct
from Kansas, where he was an eye witness of
, the “burning of Lawrence!”
J®" Mrs. Eliza Wright, says the Buflalo
“ Commercial,” who resides at No. 22 Elm
street, states to us some nine months since a
a little girl, probably about four years of age,
was put with her to board, and her board paid
for two weeks, by a woman calling herself the
little girls mother. Since then the pretended
mother has not been seen, and from what cau
be gathered from the conversation of the child,
it is supposed that she has been stolen from
some respectable family.
a®- An investigation has been held at Moate
Ireland, relative to the murder of Mrs. Sarah
Kelly, and it resulted in the discharc of Camp
bell and Maguire, the two tenants who had
been in custody for some time, there being no
evidence to connect them with the murder.—
Another man, named Kelly, also arrested on
suspicion, was discharged ; and the only person
now remaining in custody is the man Banner,
who bad been been committed along with Mr.
Stevens. .
Make Wat- for the Ladies.—The Balti
more ladies have protested to the City Coun
cil against the crowding ot the sidewalks with
an accumulation of boxes. The reason assigned
for the remonstrance against the accumulation
of boxes on the sidewalk was that quite a large
number of the fair sex hav* recently had their
dresses soiled and toru by coming in contact
with them. It was hinted by a crusty old bachel
or that the complaint of the ladies originated ai
together in the present abominable fashion of
wearing hoops—that the sidewalks were not
more obstructed now than they have been du
ring previous seasons but that the extension
of the area of silks and calico demanded more
space than heretofore. What a wicked in
sinuation
The Methodist Episcopal Church, in Gen
eral Conference, at Indianapolis, has had the
subject of slavery before it for several days, on
a proposition to introduce in the Church dis
cipline, a general rule, forbiding the traffic in
slaves and the holding of slaves for selfish or
mercenary purposes. The Conference, after a
long debate, voted it down—l 23 to 92—as
unwise to introduce this subject now.
£®’-Judging by the enormous circumfer
ence of the dresses worn by young ladies at the
present day, we feel inclined to assent to the
truth of the old saw that a “miss is as good
as a mile.’’ .
