preferred by Gen. Scott, gave him a distinction which he had no opportunity to win on the field. Upon the close of the war, he returned to his prac tice in Lexington. In 1851 he became a candid ate for Congress in the Ashland District, so long represented by Mr. Clay, in which he lived, Jand was elected over his competitor, Gen. Leslie Combs. In 1853. he was re-elected over Ex-Governor Letch er. While a member of the House, he was ap {minted by the President Minister to Spain, but declined the service. At the expiration of his sec ond term, he resumed the practice of his profes sion. Mr. Breckecridge's private character (it is be lieved by the writer) is perfectly untarnished, and his life without the blemish of the vices which cleave so much to many ot'our public men. He is married aud has ah interesting family about hint. His person is highly prepossessing and will ever mark him as au honorable, high-toned gentleman. He has much decision and dignity—is unassuming, yet of impressive presence ; and however much his political friends and opponents may differ in the estimate of his ability, as compared with his great kinsmen or other statesmen, none will question that he lias the eharacter and talent that will com mand respect wherever he is placed. Franklin Pierce. A portion of the demonstral ions in Wash ington City, on Saturday in response to the nominations at Cincinnati, was the forma tion of a procession in which several thousand mingled, to wait on President Pierce, and af ter a serenade, to congratulate him upon the triumph of the principles ot his administration, which the National Democratic Convention, at Ciucinnatti, had so Yuliy and so unanimous ly endorsed. Gen P. .*aid * I congratulate you, my fellow citizens, upon the occasion which brings you here, and I in duige the confident hope that the joy with which you hail the harmonious and unanimous resu’t of the deliberations at Cincinnati may be strengthened mud deepened by the ratifying voice of our countrymen. It is pleasant to rea ize that, however other parties may be divided and distracted, there is nothing with a-; but union of purpose, and will be nothing but union of action. From this hour to that when the polls will be open ed in November all prejudices and personal animosities among those who should euitivate mutual regard and afford mutual support will be laid aside; nay, even preferences, which may have existed in our ranks are already no long er remembered. The preferences of the Con vention is the preference at this crisis ot every friend who cares more fur the country than f or himself Devotion to the cause, and an earnest support of the-standard bearer who are to lead us through the great struggle, wi:| con stitute the controling sentiment of the democ racy, North and South, East and West. We ure* all, Inm sure, quite sincere in our convic tions that mot only the prosperity ot the repub lic, bat the perpetuity ot this blessed Union, depends essentially upon the vindication and inaintainance of the principles declared by the recent Convention. But these principles can be vindicated and sustained only by concerted action, and tlrnt can only be secured by organ ization. lienee, fidelity to this organization and its usages becomes, like fidelity to princi ples, a cardinal virtue. Iho latter can only be manifested and made effectual through the former. My friends w 11 have duties to perform in the eanvass which my position alone wi 1 prevent me from attempting to fulfill in person. It is never to be forgotten by me that, in 1852 older aud better (many voices cried “not bet ter r) soilders than myself, (Mr. Buchanan and Gen. Gass) —men who had been faithful and tried leaders through many years of labor and conflict—were passed by to call me from the retirement which I had sought, aud to which I shall return w ithout regret. May I not add, gentlemen, that if lile be spared, I shall go back to the State of mv birth with a consciousness of having adopted no single mea sure of public policy during tny administration which 1 did not believe to be demanded by the best interest of my country, nor one which does not, to night, command the approbation of mv judgement and my conscience. The conduct of those older and better soldi ers of whom 1 have spoken, and of the younger but nevertheless better soldier, (Judge Doug las,) now standing by’ the great, venerated, and good Cass,) who lor so many years, has hed, not merely my confidence and r spect, bat my affection,, will never cease to i e gratefully remembered by me They were ail In the field, not merely to encourage and direct, but actually to lead the columns. Their energies were not put tortli because the stand ard was in my hands, but because its bearer was, in their estimation, for the time being, tat- impersonation of those sound constitution al principles which they believed could alone g vc stability and permauencc to this glorious labric of our institutions. It is cheering tokuow that the action of the late convention places the statesmen and pa triots, who are leading us now upon a platform identical, iu scope aud spirit, with that which I accepted with full conviction of my judge ment and with every sentiment of my heart, ami that they are to occupy it with the stand ard lowered never an inch, so far as the strict costruction of the constitution and the vindi ration of the constitutional rights of every por tion of the Union are concerned. Much and justly as we admire the patriot ism, attainments, and private virtues Ot our sraridard bearers, there will be nothing like man-worship in this contest. Men become comparatively insignificant, cxept as instru ments when great principles and the vast in terests of a country like ours arc involved There will be, ou your part, no appeal to un worthy pas ions, no inflammatory calls for the second revolution like those which arc occa sionally reported as coming from men who have received nothing at the hands of their government but protection aud political bles sings, no declaration of the resonance of the laws of the land, no invocation of th< shedding of blood by those who had none to -bed when our countrymen have stood f ‘Ce to face v\i i foreign foes. But the issue will summon you to a caltn, earnest struggle -for the Constitu lion, and, consequently, lor the buiou. You will bear yourselves like men determin ed to cling to that sacred instrument as the onlwsceurity from general wreck, and the on y refuse from universal ruin. Men who feel and act with you will cling to it with patriotic wis dom and steady fortitude, and they will defend it 1 if need be, with heroic valor ngainstall as saults from without or from within. That a singnal triumph awaits you in such a cause, 1 entertain no doubt If as I fully behove, our fathers were not onlv'guided and sustained through the chang ing scenes aud struggles of the revolution but were inspired after its dose to dense and ad opt this Constitution by Ommvotant Power, we may repose upon a bumble but uuwaver.ng faith that that Power will not peitrnt the mad ness of their children to destroy it. Accept, gentleman, my best wishes, for yon collectively and.ihdividually, aufl my thanks for this gratifying call. DEMOCRATIC MEETING. . Griffin, June 16th, 1856. 1 ursuant to a previous call, a meeting of the Democratic Party was held to-day in the Court House. On motion of A. A. Gaulding, Hon. W'm. Moseley was called to the Chair; and on motion of J, A. B. Williams, Esq., James M. Cole requested to act as Secretary. Tire objectof the meeting,as explained by the Chiarman, was to appoint delegates to attend a Convention of the Dem ocratic Party to meet in Milcdgeville on the 4th of July next, for the purpose of nominating an Electoral Ticket for the State of Georgia. On motion of J H Logan, a committee of eleven was ap pointed by the Chair to draft resolutions for the action of this meeting, and report names as- delegates to the Mil ledgcville Convention The committee respectfully sub mitted the following preamble and resolutions : Whereas, A Convention of the Democratic Party of the State of Georgia, held in Milledgeville, in the month of February last, recommended the holding of a Convention, in t*c same place, onihe 4th day*of July next, for the pur , pose of. taking into consideration &e action of the Nation al Democratic Convention, and if deemed advisable, to nominate an Electoral Ticket for President and Vfce Presi dent Be it therefore Resolved, That the Democratic Party of Spalding coun ty, will appoint 14 Delegates to represent them iu said Convention Resolved, That we cordially approve the nomination of James Buchanan, for President., and John C Breckenridgc, tor Vice President of the United States, and will give them our hearty support iu the ensuing election Resolved, That we ratify the principles and doctrines set forth in the Platform adopted by the National Democratic Convention at Cincinnati, believing that they express. the views ani wishes of every sound, conservative man in the Nation, and that if faithfully carried out, they will preserve the rights of the States, arrest the aggressions of Northern Fanaticism, and restore peace and quiet to our country Resolved, That we invite all our fellow-citizens, to what soever party organization they may have belonged, who are in favor of the election of Buchanan and Breckenridgc and who endorse the principles of the National Democratic Platform, to come andstand with us upon that Platform, as co-equals and co-laborers in the battle we are engaged in, for the preservation of the- rights of the South, and of our National Union Resolved, That the Democratic Platform,as put forth and adopted by the Ciucinnatti Convention, is tlieonly National one, and the only Platform, in our opinion, that Southern ers, of all political parties, can consistently, with Southern interests, and the Constitution, place themselves upon Resolved, That the issue proper, is the Constitution of our country against hiSher law factionists, Black Republi cans, and Religious Resolved, That we heartily approve the course pursued by Preston S Brooks ofSouth Carolina, in inffli .ting asum mary chastisement upon Stunner, the Abolitionist, of Mas sachusetts, and in vindication id the character of one of Carolina’s noble sons Also, the following Delegates were appointed to attend said Convention, viz : Ilcndley Varner, 1) A Johnson, J A B Williams, J B lleid, Wm R Moseley, Thomas Throw er, Wm Crittenden,K P Crowder, J H Mangham.CC Bow en, W VV Hammond, E W Beck, J M Couch, A A Gaulding On motion of Col A A Gaulding, the preamble and reso lutions, and appointments reported by the committee, were adopted On motion, it was ordered that the proceedings of this meeting be published in the Empire State Ou motion, the meeting then adjourned WILLIAM MOSELEY, Chairman James M Cole, Secretary Mr. Filniorc’s Acceptance. Hon. A. n. 11. Stuart, to Staunton, Va., communicates of the Richmond Whig, the of ficial announcement to Mr. Fillmore of his nomination, and his letter of acceptance. The following is the loiter. Gentleman. —l 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. has unanimously presented my name for the Presidency of the United States, and associated with it that of Andrew Jackson Donelson for the Yice Presidency. The unex pected communication met me at Venice on my return from Italy, and the duplicate mail ed thirteen days later, was received on mv ar rival in this city last evening. This must ac count for my apparent neglect in giving a more prompt reply. Lou will pardon me for saying that when my administration closed in 1853, I consider ed my politi ca i ];f e as a public man at an end, and thenceforth I was only anxious to dis charge my doty as a private citizen Hence I have taken no active part in politics. But I have by no means been an indifferent specta tor of passing events, nor have I hesitated to express my opinion on all political subjects when asked, nor to give my vote and private influence for those men and measures I thought best calculated to promote the prosperity a,| d S'lory of our common country. Beyond this 1 deemed it improper for me to interfere But this unsolicited and unexpected nomina tion has imposed upon me anew duty, from which x cannot shrink; and therefore, approve iiig. as I do, of the general objects of the par ty which has honored me with its confidence, I cheerfully accept its nomination without wai ting to inquire of its prospects of success or defeat It is snflhlent 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 an xious to see the administration of our govern ment restored to that original simplicity and purity which marked the first years of its exis tence; and if posible, to quiet that alarming sectional agitation which, while it delights the monarchists of Europe, causes every true friend of our own country to mourn. Having had the experience of past service in the administration of the government, I may be permitted to refer to that as an expo nent 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 influenced my conduct, endeavor to per form every duty confided by the Constitution and laws to the Executive the proceedings of this Convention have marked anew era in the history of the conti try, by bringing anew political organization into the approaching Presidential canvass, I take the occasion to re affirm my full confi dence in the patriotic purposes of that organi zation, which 1 regard as springing out of a public necessity, forced upon the country, to a large extent by unfortunate sectional divi sions, and dangerous tendency of those divi sions toward disunion. It alone In mv opinion of all the political agencies now existing, is possessed of the power to silence this violent and disastrous agitation, and to restore har mony by its own example of moderation and forbearance. It has a claim, therefore, in my judgement, upon every earnest friend of the integrity of the 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 Council at Philadelphia, (a copy of which you were so kind as to euclose me,) holding them to be just and liberal to every true interest of the country, and isely. adapted to the establish ment and support of an enlightened, safe and effective American policy, in full accord 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 td tread my native soil; My opportuui ty of comparing my own country and the condi tion of its people with those of Europe, has on ly served to increase my admiration and love for our 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, to accept my thanks for the very flattering manner in which you have 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 re spect and esteem, your friend and fellow citi i zen. • Millard Fillmore.

The following is a list of the Georgia Dele gates in attendance at Cincinnati, as we find their names reported in the Enquirer of that city: GEORGIA— ten votes.

THIS valuable machine, second only to the invention of the Cotton Gin, is destined to produce a remarkable change in the method of gathering cotton from the field It will do the work of from three to five hands in picking cotton from the stalk, aud is evidently a labor-saving ma chine. Its benefit to the Planter is incalculable. It picks the cotton clean and free from trash, leaves it in excellent condition for ginning—obviates the necessity of exposing the hands to heavy dews, rains and cold, and from the ra pidity of its work, will enable the Planter to prepare his crop for market at an early day, leaving him time for the improvement of his land, houses, enclosures and general arrangement of the Plantation. It is light, weighing about 8 pounds, is susjJcuded by a strap over the shoulders,and is operated by means of a crank turned by the hand or fingers. The simplicity of this ma chine is its leading feature—it is not liable to get out of or der, and any negro of ordinary capacity, is competent to use it. One harvester, with proper care, will last a series of vears. \Ve are now selling State and County Rights for tlieman ufacture ami use of the above machine.
