that appeared in it. We can assure him that
the proof was carefully read and corrected by

Letter of Thontw.
We publish the letter of Hon. T. W. Ihom
as, declining to accept the nomination of Elec
tor for the Bth Congressional Dktrict, on the
Democratic ticket, for personal, not political
reasons. The letter, which we take from the
« (Juns.nationalist & Republic,” is an admira
ble one, every way worthy of the patriot and
good citizen.
Judge Thomas’ place on the ticket will c
supplied by another of Georgia’s patriotic and
talented sons, A. E.-Walker, Esq , of Rich
mond county, who was nominated by the Con
vention at Milledgeville as the alternate of the
Judge.
The Everlasting “Ten o’clock Law’’
* To Mr. Bell we surrender again onr editorial
column. For this, doubtless, many of our
readers will censure us, as they perfer, in a
crisis like the present, political, rather than
disquistions on Temperance, and temperance
laws. We trust, however, that this will be
the last of this controversy, so far at least as
our paper is concerned. If correctly informed,
our City Council disposed of this subject, on
Friday Night last, by laying the petition to
revive the obnoxious law on the table til 1
March next. If so, let it rest till then for the
sake of peace ; or if the question must be dis
cussed in the mean time, let it be discussed by
its advocates in the Temperance Newspapers
of the State. We publish, however, Mr. Bell’s
article—we beg the Intelligencer’s pardon—
we publish Mr. Bell’s "jumble" (our improved
style we hope will please) trusting that it will
be the last, on this subject, that will be address
ed to our readers.
THE EXAM.LNER FOR THE
CAMPAIGN.
We notice that our cotemporaries of the
Press every where are prepared to tarnish the
papers to the people for the Campaign, so in
at one, and some at another price. ■
Now, for the matter of fifty cents, we do no
care to be put to the trouble of mailing the
“ Examiner,” and of performing various other
duties that devolve upon us—in consequence
thereof. Our intention is to make the “WEEK
LY EXAMINER,” an interesting and as far
as our ability enables us to do so, a valuable
political journal, both for and after the Presi
dential Campaign. And as our subscription
price is only
ONE DOLLAR
per annum, payable in advance, it will not be
sent to any one who does r°t subscribe for the
year. To this, however, we are willing to
make this exception. Where a club of twenty,
or even ten, desire to have the pnper for six
months, we will send it to them upon the re
ceipt of fifty cents for each copy. But we will
not do this save to clubs.
Our circulation is already a large one, and is
daily increasing. To extend it, will still be,
with us, an untiring effort. But we must do
this upon the terms specified above or not at
all.
Send us, therefore, one dollar, and the
* Weekly Examiner ” will be sent to you for
vulvemonths from the date of its receipt. This,
we think, is a better arrangement, than any one
we can propose, to the public.
The -• Daily Examiner ” we will furnish to
subscribers, for three, six, nine, or twelve
months, at the rate of five dollars per annum.
Our friends at a distance, who tuke an interest
in the political contest now going on, would do
well to order the “ Daily Examiner ” as in it,
they will not only receive the earliest commer
cial, but the earliest political intelligence. It
we trust, will prove particularly valuable to
those who will be forced upon the stump during
as well as to all who take an active part in the
canvass.
Millard Fillmore.
To this gentleman s record ou slavery it is
important, at the* present awful crisis, that the
people of the South should pay due attention.
There is not a man in Georgia who does not
know that when Gen. Taylor was nominated as
the Whu candidate for the Presidency, great
doubt was entertained os to Mr. Fillmore’s fit
ness for the second office, on account of his an
ti-slavery record. Indeed, that record was pro
duced, in part upon him, and many, very many :
Southern whies hesitated long, ere they could '
give in to his support. The great popularity, j
however, of the hero of Monterey. Buena Vista. I
and other battle fields, carried everything be-1
fore, and we verily believe that had Millard Fill- ;
more’s record been ten times worse than it re- j
ally was it would not have changed the result ;
<sTdic.Presidential race, so great was the pop.;
ularity oF’tt'ewJTiivlor and so unbounded was i
the confide- e i< poseff hy-thc South in him as
a Southern mao, and slaveholder. The feeble I
attempt of Mr. Fillmore toexplaln. was received
iat the South for just what it then, and what it;
uow worth; and, as but UtUeheed was given j
to the solemn warning of a few years before—
wKu, by an act of Providence, the mantle of
the Chief Magistrate of this Union, fell upon
the shouldersofa Vice President—Mr. Fillmore
was elected by the aid of Southern, as well as
Northern votes. The record was forgotten, to
be revived now, when developments every day
go to prove that it ought not to have been
passed by, so heedlessly, eight years ago.
The eclat with which the Compromise Meas
ures were received and Mr. Fillmore’s approval
of them, gave him some popularity in the
South. Even his reluctance to sign and con
stitutional objections to the fugitive slave law,
were forgotten in the fact that he did sign it
and were it not that the great doctrine of
“Non-Intervention” embraced in the Kansas
Nebraska bill, makes the issue of slavery or
no slavery, now a direct and only one, all oth
ers being mere side issues, it is more than prob
able that Mr. Fillmore’s abolilition record,
would not call from the press of the South any
animadversions. But by a portion of the
American party of the North—that portion of
it which is thoroughly abolitionized —he is put
in nomination for the Presidency. Nay, more
than this, he accepts that nomination, and wbat
is worse, he adopts their platform. Regareless,
apparently, of the interests and honor of the
South, while they denounce the party at the
North whose candidate Mr. Fillmore is, the
“ American party ” of Georgia nominate him
also, despite his previous, and zealously support
him, despite his late record. To the former
let us look to day, leaving the latter for to
morrow’s issue.
Mr. Fillmore voted while in Congress, as the
Journals will show :
“To declared slaves free who had gone to
sea with the consent of their masters, and to
protect them in their freedom.
To repeal all lawsand constitutional provis
ions by which the Federal Government is bound
to protect the institution of slavery.
Against the admission of any new State into
the Union, whose Constitution at all tolerates
slavery.
Against the unexation of Texas, solely on
the ground that slavery existed there.
To abolish slavery in the District of Colum
bia, though the whole people of the District
cheerished the institution, and never petitioned
for its abolition.
To prohibit the buying and selling of slaves
in the District, and other Territories of the
Union.
He supported, by his vote, petitions to Con
gress to repeal the act of the Territory of
Florida, to prevent m igration of free negroes
to the Territitory.
He voted in favor of petitions to naturalize
AND MAKE AMERICAN CITIZENS OF NEGROES
FROM EVERY QUARTER OF THE EARTH!
He voted in favor of a petition to receive
negro ambassadors from the Black Republic
of Hayti.”
The foregoing, is only a partial record of Mr.
Fillmore’s abolition votes, but they are indica
tive of what his feelings were on the subject oi
slavery. What they now are, the people of
the South cun easily tell, when they hear him
declaring that he is for a retraction of the
Missouri Compromise line, and is opposed to
the Kansas Nebraska bill—when they see him
at the head of a Northern party, whose de
signs are identical with those of the Black Re
publicans, and whose aim will never be attained
until Southern slavery ceases to exist, or the
Union be dissolved.
Such is the position of Mr. Fillmore’s party
at the North ; what it is at the South we leave
the “ American party ” to explain.
For the Examiner.
Truth Vindicated.
The Intelligencer of this morning, in reply
to my article in the Examiner of Saturday, in
favor of oksing grogshops at the hour of 10
o’clock, at night, in my opinion, has failed to
answer my argument, or to show any so id rea
son against the law. Inasmuch, however, as
an assertion is made, which, if unnoticed, may
pass as argument, I hope 1 will not be consid
ered obtrusive iu fbbuking wbat is deemed a
specious error dangerous in its insiduousattack,
upon the very fortress of virtue and safety.
I'Le full extent of the doctrine advocated by
the writer of the Editorial, comprehends a
premise false in the very nature of uiau's con
stitution —the proposition that he should be
left to take care of himself.
The infant, endowed with certa n peculiar
faculties susceptible of impression reflected
upon its being from whatever influences may
be brought to bear upon it, to a very large
degree, is modified and moulded by those influ
ences into a moral conformation therewith;
hence the absolute necessity of withdrawing
vicious circumstances, and substituting those
salutary influences which universal experience
demonstrates to be in harmony with the divine
laws of human nature.
Tho rule applies with equal force to the youth
or to the man, whose vitiated appetite renders
him unqualified to govern himself as a rational
being. Could we trace the past history of
those who tail victims to dissipation and fully,
iu the thousand untoward incidents and bane
ful influences surrounding them from their early
childhood, (the very impress of which is stamp
ed upon their being) we would often drop the
tear of commiseration and sympathy, where we
too rashly to pronounce condemnation and death.
“Mau’s iuhumanity to man, makes
Countless thousands mourn.”
In view of the premises, does it uot become
the duty of society, to withdraw, or to remove'
from its midst, grogshops, which universal ex
perience declares to be evils, full oi vicious
influences, destructive and ruinous in uii their
consequences ? A government destitute of
power to protect society against such an evi
is perfectly contemptible.
Grogshops are productive of uo good. Mark
this. And bear iu mind that they are wors
than famine and war. They hang like an in
cubus upon the bosom of Humanity, sending
death drops “thruughout the veins of desolate 1
society.”
Has not society a right to remove such a
nuisance? Evidently it has. And would noti
their removal from Atlanta add much to uur
peace, prosperity, and good name ?• Evidently
it would. Wby then not close them entirely!
—remove these pest houses of destruction from :
our midst. Let us give it a trial of two years <
as an experiment, and we would see what a
disastrous evil we had been suffering to live !
and riot in the bosom of society—crushing out
the very life-blood of humanity and despoiling
the flower of love and happiness.
The Editor of the Intelligencer seems to
gnore the whole question, and blindly asserts
that the restriction of these evils would be \
attended with bad consequences to the “future
progress and weal of our city.” He charges
that Ido not understand how to value an ab
stract principle—“only regarding things in the
cpncre.-e brands the law as “Tyranny,” and!
diargfesr jjleakness” on those endeavoring to i
sutabliahit. All this w Irfge --y,--:..,. ,
we have a right to close grogshops at 10 o’clock
or at dark, no legal mind can question; that it
would be a salutary restriction no one can reas
onably doubt
It works well in Rome, and in Marietta, and
in Atlanta especially would it be a silutary
restraint. Here, of all places in Georgia,
grogshops ought to be closed at night. The
trains are constantly bringing in travellers from
all sections of the country, and many reckless
characters are temporarily thrown in our midst,
and they rush into these grogshops, and into
riots, to the discredit of our own citizens. Let
some restriction be had against these evils for
our safety and reputation.
It will do good, whatever a few disaffected
persons may think or say to the contrary.
Judge Warner, in delivering the opinion of
the Supreme Court, on this identical question,
arising from the 10 o'clock law passed in Rome,
which is incorporated by our Charter, after
confirming the law, uses this language :
“So far from considering the ordinance un
necessary or obnoxious to the peace and good
government of the city, we think it is eminent
ly calculated to be productive of tho best re
sults.”—lo Ga. Rep p. 531.
Ibis is the opinion, no doubt, of a majority
of the voters, and at least nineleen-twentieths
of the ladies of Atlanta; and 400 as respecta
ble persons as can be found in the city, having
petitioned the Mayor and Council to pass the
law, it is confidently hoped that their petition
will be respected.
MARCUS A. BELL.
Atlanta, July 21st, 1856.
COMMUNICATED.
Georgians in Kansas.
Messrs Editors : Herewith I hand you the
proceedings of a meeting of Georgia Emigrants
held at or near Kansas City, on the Ist inst.
It will be seen that Cap*. B. Jones of our own
State and Capt. E. M. McGee of .Missouri have
b en chosen, by the Emigrants, to canvass the
State, to solicit contributi;us in behalf of the
cause of Georgians that are in the Territory.
The proceeding-! will explain themselves.—
They show that Georgians are in the contested
Territory without the means to support them.
Suffice it, therefore, for me to say that I know
this to be strictly true. When I was in the
Territory the Ist of May it was thus. Many
a noble hearted youth, who had gone thither,
witu little or no means, was striving daily, to
find employment, but in vain, for the capital
and business was not there to give it to them.
Not only is it so in relation to some of the
youths that are in the Territory, but women
and children are in the same condition. Many
•went there too.late in the season to make any
thing upon a farm, the present year. Many
were unable to start one, even if they were
there in time, for ($400) four hundred dollars is
as small an amount as it takes to fit out any.
thing in the way of a farm.
No doubt many would return but are unable
to do so. And while they were able they
would not do so, for they were unwilling thus
to desert the cause of the South, forgetting at
the time that self-preservation and “ discretion
is the better part of valor.”
But this thing has been forced upon the
South by our Northern brethren; they first
commenced the business of sending out emi
grants and making contributions for their sup
port. Is it not the duty of the South to coun
teract them? It is, and upto this time she has
done so manfu'ly. It is true that we deplore,
that it has ever come to this, that one portion
of this Union has to defend their institutions,
by counteracting the proceedings of another
portion. But it is upon us. One step, yea,
more than one, has been taken. Shall we then
hear the cries of these our kindred and neigh
bors, for means to support them, and not re
spond. The universal reply will be, no! Only
let a Georgian know that his brother stands in
need of assistance and he is willing to lend a
helping hand. P.
Atlanta, July 21st 1856.
Georgia Colonization Meeting.
A meeting of the emigrants from Georgia
held on the Ist of July, near Kansas City, Mo.,
was organized by electing Capt. Jno. Couch
President and Capt. Jno. J. Grant, Vice Presi
dent. A. S. Hamilton was requested to act as
Secretary. The object Os the meeting being
explained by Capt. Cook, the following pre
amble and resolutions were read and unani
mously adopted:
Whereas, It is deemed necessary and high
ly important that a Cdlony of Georgians should
be planted in the Territory of Kansas; and
whereas there are many patriotic sons of Geor
gia now in the Territory who hart expended
their means and labored with untiring energy
in behalf of Southern rights, and who are now
incapable of rendering farther defence to the
institution of Slavery without aid and assis
tance from their native State, whose interests
they have peaceably attempted to represent, as
long us an honorable peace could be maintained,
and who have gallantly and meritoriously
flocked to the standard of your rights when
they were threatened with destruction by the
base and unmanly conduct of the fanatics of
the Territory—who.e avowed intentions are to
drive Irom the Territory every Southerner who
has dared to give publicity to his principles.—
Therefore, be it
Resolved, Ist., That in consideration of the
above related facts, we, ss Georgians, do organ
ize ourselves into a Colony, with the intention
of becoming actual settlers and law-abiding
citizens of Kansas Territory, and, furthermore,
the representatives of Southern rights, institu
tions and interests in the same.
Resolved, 2d.. That we have done all that
our purses can do, and that, though our per
sons are worn and fatigued, we are still ready
to discharge our duty as Southerners; and,
with aid from you. we will still be able to main
tain the supremacy of Southern institutions in
the Territory.
Resolved, 3d., That we appeal to you as a
brother would to a brother, for assistance in
thi-, our day of trouble, and we feel confident
that our appeal will be heard and heeded by all
true Georgians.
Resolved, 4th , That we have chosen Capt
E. M. McGee, of Missouri, and Capt. B. Jcnes
of Georgia, to Canvass the State and receive
all contributions that. Georgians may teel dis
posed to make: and, farther that Capt. McGee
has the confidenee of all who know him—is a
warm hearted Southerner, and has hospitably
received and liberally aided, to the extent of
his means, all Southern men who have emigra
ted to the Territory: and that we commend
him to you as a man to whom you cannot show
too much respect.
Resolved, sth., Thv we came here to defend
and further the institution of Slavery, and
oagh nsrmt i* tor jin? at j
a Southern State, we will not prove recreant in
our duty as Southerners.
Resolved, 6th. That we look upon all Geor
gians as brothers in this struggle and feel as
sured that they will continue to merit the dis
tinguished position which they have heretofore
occupied as leading defenders of Southern
rights, by giving us th it aid which is necessary
to success.

New York Correspendence.
New York, July 15.—1 f the next President
tial election is to be carried by public meetings
the bb.ck republicans will stand a good chance.
They have another gathering to night, into
which they impress all tie literary and mar
tyred celebrities they can scare up. Mr.
“Potiphar” Curtis is again to be on hand, and
the name of John C. Underwood, late of Vir
ginia, but for whom it became too hot, is also
announced as one of the orators at a meeting
to be held at the Stuyvesant Institute this even
ing.
The sudden resignation of Mr. Brooks in
Congress yesterday, has perplexed the black
republicans. They did not anticipate it. The
apprehension that Mr. Brooks may yet have
a seat on the same floor with Mr. Sumner is
discussed with fearful forebodings. The truth
is, Mr. Brooks, by resigning, has taken the
wind out of their sails, and knocked the props
from under them. They would rather he had
remained. He afforded the newspapers a good
target for their abuse. Now they will have to
invent or discover some new atrocity upon
which to sing their rapid changes.
sThe Ariel, one of Commodore Vanderbilt’s
Southampton steamers, has been placed on the
California line to Aspinwall. The Transit
Company have their meeting to day. and as
Mr. Earrison, of San Francisco, arrived yes

on the way with General Walker, communica

The drawing room entertainment of Miss
Emma Stanley, at Niblo’s, entitled the “ Seven
Ages of Womau,” has become the rage of the
town. It is an exceedingly clever performance
and draws immense houses. It is to be given
but five times more, and then Mr. Burton plays
his usual summer engagement at the Garden.
It was stated some days ago that the pro
prietor of the weekly paper, called the Ledger,
had sued the Tribnne for libel, in the sum of
SIU,OOO. The Ledger had advertised SISOO
worth in the Tribune one day, and the same
impression of that paper characterized the
Ledger as “trashy.” It is now said that the
Tribune proprietors proposed to return the
SISOO, if the suit was discontinued, but the
Ledger man plumply refused. The Ledger is
the only paper I ever saw that refuses to pub
lish advertisements.
The lease of a part of Barnum’s Museum ex
pires on the Ist of May next. The theatre, or
“lecture room,” as it was hypocritically called,
will then be closed. There is some talk that a
new establishment will be erected on Broad
way, further up town, and entrusted to Barn
um, with which he will have ( a cbanee of re
trieving his fortunes. The great showman
continues to live in seclusion on Long Island,
though he himself is not idle.
Subscriptions in aid of the sufferers by the
inundations of France, were commenced a few
days ago. The principal shipping, banking,
and auction houses are down for $250 each,
and other houses connected with France, in
proportion. A. T. Stewart & Co. head the
list Only about S3OOO has been collected
from the list I have seen.
The arrival of two propellers—the Barce
lone at this port and the Canadian at Quebec,
is giving increased confidence to this class of
vessels. They make passages quite as short
and certainly as regular, as the be-t of side
wheel steamers, while their charges are much
lower. As carriers of freight, the propelleis
leave the paddle-wheels far in the distance.

“1. The medical man engages that he pos

ordinarily possessed by a profession generally
2. He engages to exercise that skill with reas

Letter of Hon. Tliomax W. Thomas to the
Democratic Executive Committee.
Elberton, Ga., July 16th, 1856.
Gentlemen Yours of the 11th inst., con
veying the information that I had been nomi
nated as Elector of the Eighth Congressional
District by the late Democratic Convention
reached me yesterday evening. While duly
appreciating this mark of their confidence, 1
am compelled to decline it. My reasons can
be briefly stated, and I trust will prove satis
factory to those i'rieuds whose partiality would
have assigned me so honorable a position.
The candidate for Elector will be justly ex
pected to canvass at least the entire district
for which he is appointed. I have not the
time to devote to the work. My active con
nexion with political attairs must cease. With
me this is a necessity. I am heartially and
unreservedly with the National Democracy on
all the issues they make wjjja. tlieir opponents,
but in my case there is a “mgher law” which
declares “he who provides not for his own
household, is worse than an infidel,” or words
to that effect. This is no new resolve if mine,
many friends heard me express this determina
tion more than a year ago. I told several
members of the late Convention positi rely that
I could not accept. I regret the ma ter was
not understood by that body as I intended it
should be.
Our friends will doubtless bet he more readily
excuse me when they remember how ably the
place will be filled by my Alternate. An old
line Whig, of undoubted loyalty to principle,
who has had the courage to place himself in
opposition to large majority of bis old party
friends in his own country, he is beculiarly fit
ted to become our standard-bearer in this
staunch Whig district—let us hope that hun
dreds of manly honest Whigs will follow his
lead, and give their support to sound principles
and the constitutional rights of the South,
by voting for the National Democratic nomi
nees.
The anti slavery excitement which now ra
ges at the North grew exclusively out of that
clause in the Nebraska Kansas act which repeals
the Missouri restriction, and to restore this re
striction is now the battle cry of the Black
Republicans, under the lead of Fremont. In
this, a» in all other contests with the Freesoil
party at the North, the South has asked noth
ing but bare justice. For thirty four years
she submitted to be excluded from all the com
mon property of the Union N orth of 36deg.
30. So strong was her attachment to this Un
ion made by our fathers, that she consented to
be deprived of her just and equal rights, rather
than disturb the peace and harmony of the
family of States; and this, too, when she had
no guarantee for the exclusive enjoyment of
any part of the country South of the liue.—
The North had the exclusive right to settle
the country North of the line, and an equal
chance to settle, keep, and make free States
South of it; or, in other words, we were ex
cluded from three fourth, and they took equal
chances with us in the remaining fourth.—
This is a plain and truthful statement of the
case. Bad as the bargain was, the South
stood by it, like honest men. The Freesoilers
did not; they declared in their popular meet
ings, in their legislative’assemblies, and by tbeir
votes in Congress, that they would drive us
from every foot of the land which belonged to
us equally with them. We then insisted that
the bargain which they had violated should be
set aside, and we would go back to constitu
tional principles—that the people who settled
the territories should decile the question of
slavery for themselves. In 1854, we had friends
enough at the North to abrogate the uncon
stitutional restriction, and the South was ad
mitted Cr the first time to her just rights in
the country North of 36deg. 30. This just
and righteous consession to us, by which we
obtained only naked justice, by which our
equality in the Union was restored, by which
the brazen collar of inferiority was struck from
our necks, the Cnvention which nominated Mr.
Fillmor dec'ared to be a “reckless and unwise
policy and he, in his letter of acceptance, con
seats andagree to the denunciation. In speaking
of the troubles which have grown out of our
successful struggle for our rights, and throwing
the blame upon “the present Executive and his
supporters,’’ Mr. Fillmore says in his Albany
speech, if they have with good intention and
honest hearts made a mistake, he hopes God
may lot give (Item, as he does. Forgive us for
what? Because we asked and obtained jus
tice ; because we insisted on our r’ghts to go
into the territories on equal terms with our
northern fellow citizens; because we did not
yield a plain right to the rag ■ of the Frceioilers
and consent to be robbed in order to keep the
peace. Is there a man in Georgia base en
ough to thank him for his prayer or his for
giveness ? To show you and those who may
read this letter that I have not misconstrued
him, I append an extract from his late Alba
ny speech. Speaking of the happy state of
the nation when be left the Presidential chair,
he proceeds:
‘ The clOud that hung upon the horizon was
dissipated; but where are we now? Alas!
threatened at home with civil war, and from
abroad with a rupture of our peaceful relations.
I shall not seek to trace the causes of this
change. These are the facts, and it is for you
to ponder upon them. Os the present Admin
istration, I have nothing to say, and can ap
preciate the difficulties of administering this
government, and it the present Executive and
his supporters have, with good intention and
honest hearts, made a mistake, I hope God
may forgive them, as I do. But if there be
those who have brought these calamities upon
the country for selfish or ambitious objects, it
is your duty, fellow citizens, to hold them to a
strict responsibility.”
So far, it might be supposed he was allud
ing to our foreign difficulties, but in the next
two sentences it is unmistakable that he alludes
to the Nebraska Kansas act. He proceeds:
“ lhe agitation which disturb.d the peace
of the country, in 1850. was unavoidable. It
was brought upon us by the acquisition of new
Territory ; for the government of which it was
necessary to provide Territorial administrations.
But it is for you to say whether the present
agitation, which distracts the country and
threatens us with civil war, was not recklessly
and wantonly produced by the adoption of
measure (the italics mine) to aid in personal
advancement, rather than in any public good.”
A Georgia editor speaking of this and oth
ers, says, “ these speeches will electrify the na
tion.” They have electrified every fibre of my
composition with the profoundest indignation.
Let others thank him who feel like it: for one,
I will never thank him to forgive and pardon
me for contending for my just rights. Let the
horrors of civil war be painted to terrify those
who are already willing to be traitors. There
is something worse then civil war to a brave
and honorable nation: it is submission to wrong
and injustice. Civil war is the rock out ol
which has sprung the refreshing stream of civil
liberty in all ages. Our own case was not an
exception to the rule. As in the physical, s<>
in the political world, Liberty, with her t ;ous
and attending blessings, is always born in trav
ail and sorrow. If Heaven has decreed that
our liberties shall be again baptised in biood,
let those tremble who would withhold our
rights, or who pronounce the yielding of them
to us, “ reckless and unw : se.’’ God’s unerring
justice will never call upon us to endure wrong
while we demand nothing but the right.
I have said nothing of Mr. Fillmore's dark
anti-siavery record, prior to his accession to
the Presidency : nothing of his published opin
ions in favor of the reception of Abolition pe
titions, against the annexation of Texas so long
as slaves are held therein, in favor of abolish
ing the slave trade between the States, and in
favor of the abolition of slavery in the District
of Columbia—nothing of bis obnoxious votes '
on Atherton's resolutions—nothing of his vote 1
on Mr. Giddings’ resolutions in the Creole case.!
These prejudices he says he laid aside when be I
went into the Presidential Chair, and on the I
evidence lam willing to believe him. My ob- ;
jeetions to him are based solely on bis plain ■
and published hostility to that clause in th" '
Kansas act which relieved the South from the
Missouri restrictions which he and the Conven
tion that nomiaated him pronounce to be reck
!»•#« and unwise, and which makta hint, accor
etag to the unanimous verdict of the Genera
AMBbly of Georgia, hoaule to the rights off
the South and unfit to be recognized as a com
ponent part of any party organization not hos
tile to the South.
On the other hand, the National Democracy,
with a party unanimously in favor of our rights.
I and sound principles, offer us a candidate pledged
! to carry them out.' lie cannot betray us with
, out violating his pledges. Mr. Fillmore can
not protect us without violating his.
, While I would not utter a word in denial of
the patriotism of our fellow citi-
I zens in Georgia who are striving to elect Mr.
Fillmore, I cannot but believe that a full and
free discussion of the issues in controversy
must bring an overwhelming majority of the
; people of the South to the National Democ
’ racy and their nominees God help us if party
( prejudice and partizan feeling can seriously di-
I vide us in this crisis.

1 steamship Fulton :
f THE CENTRAL AMERICAN DISPUTE.
Mr. Baillie asked Lord Palmerston whether
t“ Mr. Dallas, as United States Representative to
I her Majesty’s Government, had full power to
s settle the Central American dispute, or whether
ue had any other powers than those of his
I predecessor, Mr. Buchanan.
Lord Palmerston said it was understood that
e Mr. Dallas had full power to discuss with Her
a Jfajesty's Government the Central American
s question. Mr. Buchanan had no instructions
- whatever to enter on this subject.

* lowered. It was thought that they would be

e ter than the week after. The Directors, how
' ever, do not generally like to lower it in divi

France.
Reports have been for some time current
that unpleasantness existed between the courts
of France and Russia, and that Count Moray’s
departure for St. Petersburg!) was delayed in
consequence; as Moray was about r.ady to
embark the difference is probably arranged.—
The report of the Committee of the Corps Le
gislatiff refusing to the Emperor the power us
granting pensions, is publish ,<d. It is respect
ful, but firm, and is considered the severest
ehack Napoleon has yet met from his Govern
ment. The bill granting pensions to the Or
leans princesses was voted unanimously, although
Count Montalembert wrote a strong letter
again. L it. and the Duchess of Baxe Coburg in
dignantly refuses the money. The juvenile
Count o Paris has written a letter to Mr.
Roger repudiating the fusion, and saying that
himself, his mother, and brother, do not recog
nize the interference of the other members of

for the future. The letter has made considera
ble sensation in Orlcanist circles, and the Or

Spain.
The papers give accounts of the recent riots
at Badajos, Valladolid and other cities. They
st em to have been of serious magnitude, and of
an insurrectionary character. The high price
of food was the ostensible cause of the riots,
but the people really were excited by political
emissaries. Numerous arrests were made, and
many of the prisoners shot. The rioters set
fire to the corn stores, and to the growing crop;.
Tranquility was finally restored, when the gov

good prospect, and that there was ample sup

items of European intelligence brought by the
Canadian to Quebec, on Tuesday :
“ It is reported that a conference of the three
protecting powers is to be held at London du
ring the present month to settle the affairs of
Greece.
“ The only subject of interest in France is
tho protest of the Princes of Orleans.
“ Mr. Moore moved in the British House of
Commons, that the conduct of the Government
on the enlistment question has not entitled them
to the approbation of the House. Several
members appealed to Mr. Moore to postpone
the motion, but he refused, and the debate pro
ceeded.
“ The Attorney General defended the Gov
ernment and said that the U. S. dispatches
were not such as might have been expected
from a nation anxious to preserve friendly re
lations with England.
“ Sir N. Thesiger said that the British
agents hud violated equally the laws of the
U. S. and of nations.
“ Mr. Bailie declared that England was dis
ho ored by her attempts to seduce citizens of
the U. S. from their allegiance.
“ Mr. Janies Walsh said the government had
eonfes id, by not dismissing Mr. Dallas, that
they had done wrong.
*• Mr. Gilson said that Lord Clarendon’s
conduct was insulting towards the U. 8. Gov
ernment, and the American people should un
derstand that the British people do not sup
port these Ministers therein.
“ Mr. Gladstone contended that the most
blameable feature was the concealment ob
served towards the American Government, for
which Lord Clarendon and Mr. Crampton
were equally to blame.
“ Other members also spoke in a similar
strain ; and Sir George Gray, Mr. Phillmore
the Solicitor-General and others defended the
government. The debate lasted for two days
when the House was divided on the motion for
censnre and the government was sustained by
a majority of 194.”
Col. Brooks and Nir. Woodruff.
The Washington correspondent of the New
York Herald, July 14th, says When Cob-
Brooks had closed his remarks, he retired from
the Hall, surrounded by friends, including mem
bers, officers, employees, and even the pages,
expressing their sympathy. Before concluding
his remarks, the Colonel paid a little attention
to several of his assailants, and particularly to
Mr. Woodruff, who had been very abusive on
Saturday last, and exhibited great personal
bravery, which, however, gave way under a
little pressure, as will be seen by the following
statement from Hon. Mr. Savage, of Tennes
see :— Aug. Const. & Rep.
Washington City, July 11,1856.
Dear Sis :—I make a brief statement of the
main facts connected with my call on the Hon.
Mr. Woodruff’, of Connecticut, who spoke to
day in the House of Representatives. A few
moments after Mr. W. concluded his speech,
you requested me to bear him a message. 1
immed.utely went round to that part of the
House where he sat, just inside the ban I told
him I wanted to speak with him, and we hi d
better walk to the window, which he did. J
then said in substance, “ Col. Brooks and his
friends—myself among the number—understood
you in your speech to hold yourself out as a
fighting man, subject to the laws of honor, and
I am requested to present you Col. Brooks'
compliments, and inquire whether you are will
ing to receive a communication from him under
the rules of that code?”
He replied that he did not intend to be so
understood. He did not intend to hold himself
out us a fighting man, and if there was anytning
in his speech that would bear the
he, like Col. Bingham, of Ohio, would be rea ly
to explain. I then told him that this declara
tion on his part cuded my mission on the part
of Col. Brooks; but 1 would advise him to
look over his speech before publication ; that I
thought if he would examine it can fully, be
would examine it carefully, he would find points
and sentences that would indicate to a man of
honor and sensibility that he did intend to hold
himself out as a fighting man, subject to tho
code of honor. He replied that “he would du
so,” and thus ended our interview.
I was fully satisfied, as your friend, believing
you to be as generous as brave, that it could
not be your du'y or inclination to press the
matter further. I am, respectfully, your friend
and obedient servant, John 11. Savage.

ATROCIOUS FRAUD ON THE
PUBLIC.
ARREST AND COMMITTAL OF THE
PERPETRATOR.
We learn from the Philadelphia press, that
Hollis who was charged with counterfeiting so
extensively the labels of Holloway’s Pills, has
been committed to Moyamensing jail for trial
in default of bail. The examination showed
that the immense sales of Holloway's Remedies
in this country had long since excited the cu
pidity of a class of miscreants known as “med
ical counterfeiters.” The establishments of
Professor Holloway, in every city of the Un
ion, had been closely watched, the extent of their
business ascertained, and finally a system ol
counterfeiting planned out which, in extent and
magnitude, has probably never been equalled
in this or auy other country. We hope the
fortunate arr.st of the chief conspirator, Hollis,
will tend to explode the whole scheme ; all tin
material ol the rascally combination is uow in
the hands of the police. It is somewhat diffi
cu.t to counterfeit the remedies of Professoi
Holloway with impunity. His agents “covei
the land,” constituting au all-prevadiug “vigi
lance committee” whose Argus eyes are evei
open to his i tercsts and the interests of tin
sick, which are in fact “one and inseparable.’
Hollis aud his gang forgot this' iudependen*
medical police, ever on the alert, all in direci
commuuicatiun with the office iu New. York.
They left out of their calculations the boundless
pecuniary resources of Professor Holloway, aud
undi-r-estimuted his z al aud liberality when
engaged iu bunting down the double knavery
that tampered With the public health while n'
sought to rob him of bis reputation. The time
ly discovery of this scheme of wholesale rascal
ity, will, we trust, be a warning to “medica
counterfeiters.” The counterfeit plates, labels,
&c., are all iu the hands of the authorities ol
Philadelphia, aud the conspiracy is utterly
crushed. Its effect has been to exhibit in a
more striking light the unparalled popularity 01
Holloway's Pills, for only agaust the leading
medicine of the age would such a scheme have
been organized.
It would be well for the trade to be on their
guard against simitar frauds of th* future. One
scheme of imposture is put down, but the pop
ularity of the med'cines may give rise to others.

extraordinary results from its use, as having
como within his knowledge. I had taken a vio

frequently produced vomiting, with pain in the
side, I breathed with difficulty, had night
sweats, lost my appetite; in short I was completely

found no relief. I commenced taking the Bal

gan to improve. My cough abated, my strength
and appetite returned, and in a few weeks I was
