Scenes
Concert fla?l isi Macon—tlse Ameri
can Party in Convention on
BDi of July.
The. Presiding Officer. — Americans ! the
paucity of the present meeting , ontrasts unfa
vorably with the v st assemblage of last year.
Then the sea of faces here were animated by
a consciousness of .power, and the name of
“Sam' 1 was a tower of strength. To day,
where is that look of proud confidence ? It
has vanished with the grips and symbols and
watchwords. And these empty benches ad
monish us,, that to have seen Sam, is a stain and
reproach, that men seek to escape by failing
to attend here to-day Last year, each dele
gate ns he walked these streets, wore on his
countenance the mysterious air of one who
holds tornados and earthquakes in his hand,
that can be hurled at any offender. Audit
was with a thrill of pride, he heard the awe
struck boys ami little niggers, around the en
trance to this Hall, whisper to each other,
“•there goes the Know Nothings ” But public,
opinion waxed too strong, and forced us to
change our title. The name of Know Noth
ing grew odious, and stunk in the nostrils of
the people, and we rallied under the patriotic
name of the American Party. But brethren,
it is a mournful truth, that even this taking
appellation, has grown {bread bare, and fads
to cover us with decency. The absence of any
of those great principles and objects, which
are requisite to give a party respectability,
stick out, and are seen through its tattered
folds. It is not f< rme to dictate, but ft r you
to determine what shall be done in the emer
gency. The i hair is ready to lyear the sug
gestions of brethren.
An old Henry Clay Whig : Mr. President,
I will offer for the consideration of the ( on
vention, the following preamble and resolu
tions : *
Whereas, It is obvious there are to be but
tsvo parties in the approaching contest, the De
mocratic and the Black Republican—the for
mer National, and the latter Northern, Sec
tional and Abolitionists. It is now for those
who belonged to the American Party, to pause
and reflect if they will engage in this contest
for Buchanan, the Constitution and the equali
ty of the South, or fold their hands, and let
others fight a battle in which our all is at
strike. Or what is worse, persist in the sup
port of Mr. Fillmore, thereby contributing to
throw the election out of the hands of the
people into the House of Representatives,
where the Abolitionists have the maj rdv.—
The same influences there, which elected Banks
Speaker, can elect an Abolition President. —
Every consideration of prudence and self-pres
ervation, not to speak of patriot! m, calls on
us to lay aside all party prejudices, and unite
In the support of Mr. Buchanan:
Therefore, be it Resolved, That the Ameri
can Party, wall in a spirit of patriotism and
regard for the Constitution, and the safety of
the South, cast their votes lor James Buchan
an, for President
Resolved further, That we hope the Araeri
can Party in every State in the South, will
vote for Mr. Buchanan, thereby shewing to
onr friends and foes at the North, that on the
great question of Southern Rights and Inter
ests, the South can act as a unit, and throw
its overwhelming force to prostrate those who
assail us, and to support those who sustain us.
A tumult of applause and hisses ensued.—
The Editor of the Eatensville Independent rose
with countenance flushed with rage, and al
most speechless with indignation, and said :
Mr. President, I am shocked to hear such sen
timents avowed in this Convention I fee! sir
—I feel mighty bad. Are we to abandon the
glorious principles of our organization ? Is
the American flag-yes sir, the stars and
stripes to be trod under foot, sir ?”
“No sir-ee,” sung out feme one in the crowd
“Is the American eagle, proud bird of Jove,
to be made a laughing stock for foreigners ?
Is the glorious principle of “Americans shall
rule America” to be frowned into silence ?
No, sir, rather let the storm rage on.”
A Voice : “And an Abolitionist’be elected
President.”
The Editor : “I didn’t say that.”
Another Voice : “It amounts to the same
thing.”
“No it don’t,” said one ; “yes it does,”
said another, and a fisticuff ensued between
two of the brethren, which promised to be gen
eral , but order was restored in Warsaw, and
the Editor hunted up to continue, but he
threw up one hand in despair, and signified
that he had no more to say, while the other
handheld a composing via! of salts to his of
fended nose.
The Sheriff of county, arose and spoke
in a practical and feeling way. as follows :
“Mr. President, you have all read the fable
of the boys and the frogs. Well, I will give
you the application of it to the present state
of things, it is very patriotic to talk of giv
ing up Fillmore, and voting for Buchanan, and
the rights of the South, and the Constitution,
and all that sort of thing, to those who can
afford it ; but it would be expensive amuse
ment to .'sheriffs and C erks of the Superior and
Inferior Courts, and Ordi ar es, an t T,.x R.ecei>
vers and Collectors, and Editors, to sign their
own death warrants, and turn over all their
prospective fees and advertisements to others.”
A Voice : “There’s where the shoe pinch
es, is it ?”
The Sheriff: “Yes. sir, charity begins at
home, and when I look around me, I see over
half of this Convention composed of those
holding the offices I have named Is it rea
sonable ? Is it in hum in nature, to expect us
to give up a feast of fat things, that ti ose on
ly know how to appreciate who have tasted
them ? In the language of the Poet, “It
can’t l>e did.”
A Dozeu Sheriffs, Clerks, Ordinaries, &c :
“Them’s the licks of Louden ; now youre talk
ing sense.”
Ihe Sheriff : “Y.e*, sir, I say it is a most,
unnatural proposition. If you want *n\ proof
of the effect of it on our official nerves, ju t
look at my friend with the smelling bottle at
his nose l -I say, look at him ! and stay your
ruthless hands ! That man, sir, haR the ad
vert!-ing of some half dozen rich counties not
far from here. Do yon expe t him to give
them up for a shadow you call patriotism ?”
A score of voices, Official and Editorial :
“Never ! never 1 never !”
An old Whig : “And has it come to this,
that we are to be told to our faces that Geor
gia is to be sold for a mess of pottage ? Ai'e
the rights and interests of the Sooth to be
sacrificed, and we bound hand and fQOt, and
turned over to the Black Republicans that a
handful of men may riot, and batten on the
tees of the offices of Sheriff, Clerk of the Su
perior and Inferior Courts, and Ordinary ?—.
Are less than a score of -Editors to keep us
hoodwinked to our vital interests now in jeop
ardy, that they may ei joy the advertising of
those officers ? Common sense and public vir
tue forbid 1”
Forty Voices : “Turn him out ! turn him
out 1”
Forty more Voices : “Two can ploy at that
game.”
A Democrat, lean and Cassius like: “O
how the great American P.ivi’ has fallen !’
“Sic transit gloria niundi. ’
A Voice : “Quis, quae, quod, ve! quid, non
comatibus in swnmpo. Eplur bus Ununi”—
(Laughter IdUg and loud )
The Democrat continues : ‘I was going to
say, Mr. President, O what gn ass I was to
quit the Democratic Party. (More laughter. •
Like the prodigal sou, 1 wjll re; urn-to the De
mocracy, and say, ‘I have Lned against.H>/i
veil and before thee, and am * o more worthy
to be called thy sou.’ “Return 1 will, calf or
no calf.”
The President -, “It is moved and seconded
that the Convention do now ballot for ten
Electors, to cast the vote of the American
Party for Fillmore & Donaldson. All those
in favor of that motion, will say aye”
“Aye, aye, aye. ’
Tiie President : “The contrary, no.”
“No, no.”
The President : ‘ The ayes have it by the
sound ”
Voices : “Divide ! divide !”
Tellers were a> pointed, and noses counted,
and the ayes were found to,hav*_it.
Clay V hig, hat and cane in hand : “Mr.
President and gentlemen, i lid a very good
tvcnhig to you, and the gn at American Par
ty. Huzza for Buchanan and the rights of
the South !”
lie led the’way,-and was followed by a
crowd of Whigs and Demon nts, the Presid
ing Officer joining t!\em at the door, leaving
only the Sheriffs, Cleiks of the Superior and
Inferior Courts, Tax Receivers and Collectors,
Ordinaries, Editors and a few aspirants for
Congressional and Legislative honors. -
• Joy go with you—your room is better than
your company,” sung oat the majority.
“I hope you’ll have a good time of it next
November,” answered the seeeder.
