For the Empire State. 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.
