The Crisis—The Duty. Mr. Editor : From man’s restless nature, from his reckless disposition and proclivity to wild adventure upon the sea of political strife, when at liberty to follow his own inclinations, it is not surprising that. Republics have been in every age, and in all probability ever will be, exposed to periodical returns of popular j commotion and civil strife. This in the nature !of things is inevitable, and it is doubtless well that it should be so. Ltke the lashing storm that upheaves old ocean’s depths, and serves to purify its waters, giving a more exquisite delight to the succeeding calm, these parox ysms of high political exetement call forth free discussion, and by the collision oi cca dieting argument, evolve the brilliant light of truth, informing the minds of the masses, and imparting additional stability to the great fun damental principles of free government. But then there are limits which should not be transcended ; there is a crisis beyond which if we pass, the most deplorable resu'ts will speedily follow, r.nd from which we may not be able to retrace our steps without Ignominy and shame. As the prudent manner before he launches his vessel out upon a tempestuous sea, carefully examines her rigging, and all other importont component parts of her structure, to ascertain whether she is ‘sea-fit,’ so this should teach us to see well to it that we shield and fortify our country as fur as in our power may be, against the fierce assaults of faction, against the violent ravings of sectional strife, and the patricidal attempts of an infatuated fanaticism wherever found. That our country is rapidly approaching a momentous crisis iu its politietd history, is worse than futile now for any one to undertake to deny. We have hot to look around us, and the political gorgnn is seen cn every side so terrific n eppearai efi as to make the heart, of the stoutest patriot quake for fear ! The land of Washington is evidently on the verge of a mighty volcano, that by its disruptive energy, may soon convulse it to the centre, and overvv he m it in i: r trieveable ruin ! The last hope of iVe.-.dom and the world, is periled on the issue ! The bright memories of the past so cheering to the soul, die green graves of our venerated and illustrious s.res, so dear to every American heart, the glowing prospect of our country's future greatness, and the i xl ilirating visions of her muretlian glory, all, all are staked on the dire result of fire ad uncertainty. Who, unmoved, can look upon die scene ? Where is the American citizen so lost to every patriotic recollcc ion of the virtues of his im mortal ancestors ? So oblivious of their chiv alrous deeds of sdf-sacrifi e, and hemic valor in the stormy times .of the r evolution ? And so dead to every sentiment of pride nd pu-tr* otism, as to fold It is arms in his listless indif ference, while momentous results arc transpir ing thick and last around him ? Ihe fires of civil war are already blazing upon our borders, section is arrayed against section in deadly strife ; the conflict waxes hot ; and ns the ar tillery pours its fatal fire almg the lengthened lines of opuosingyet fraternal hosts, tlie migh ly pillars of our Republic tremble beneath the awful shock; her towering spins quiver on the blast, and hope grows paie at the sight of low ering clouds in the distance that threaten to break in destruction over our devoted country. Mr. Editor, the above is no extravagant picture of the state of things a* present exist ing within the limits of this great and once glorious Union. The agitation of the slavery question, whhh, in its incipience, received its merited rebuke and condemnation, has gradu ally expanded its dimensions, and enhuged its proportions by the accession of every aboli tionary and kindred element at the North, aid ed by supineness in other quarters of the coun try, and inexorable party divisions at the South, until it now threatens to engulph every other interest in its yawn ug vortex at the ha zard of every tie that binds together these con federate states. By what means it acquired its'present collossal power, may be readily as certained without going back beyond the foundation of the American Pvrty—and far be it from me to cast anv reproach upon the loy alty and patriotism of the Southern wing of this party. At the time the American Tarty was organized, the Whig Party, dismayed by defeat and disaster, was fast sinking into hope less ruin. At the North it was infected with the loathsome disease of abolitionism, which, like a canker, was rapidly devouring its life Freesoilers and the “friends of freedom,” were then comparatively impotent and without in ttnetice in the counsels of our country ; they were divided at home, and divided in the Na tional Legislature ; and the Nebraska Kansas Bill was passed triumphantly over their heads —conservative patriotism scented to be fast regaining its ancient ascendant by the removal of the odious and Unconstitutional Missouri restriction. But 10, a change ! In the ever restless minds of political jugglers, the bright conception of anew party is formed Iu the upheavals of the political elements, the Amer ican Party, as if by some magic power, or un der the influence of some mystic incantations, makes its wonderiul appearance ! Anew era hails the drooping spirits of conquered parties. A large majority of the Wb gs, so long true to the Constitution and their country, having become dissatisfied because of defeat and still smarting from the blows received from their old enemies, the Democrats, eagerly grasped the new project here at the South, joined by many discontented spirits from the Democracy, in the hope of restoring their former prestige, and acquiring new laurels upon their unsought po litical battle-fields. V\ hat lias since been their success, 1 need not stop here to recount, as all are familiar with the facts. At the North a different motive power im pelled together the hitherto dissenting incohe rent raass'es of abolitionism. Urged on by a common jtorpose, opposition to slavery, the myriad hosts of freesoilers of every stripe and color, forgot old party differences, buried old party prejudiced beneath the clod of oblivion, grasped each other in the fond embraces of a more enduring friendship ; and having mar shalled under the Standards of Gens. Beecher and Parker, “terrible as an army with ban ners,” declared perpetual war against the < friends of slavery every where. 1 bus were united in allied harmony the di- cordant elements of abolitionism, once power less, now formidable. The questions of Roman Catholicism and foreign emigration, were stationed upon the outposts of Northern Know Nothingism mere ly as sentinels to guard its concealed designs upon the safety and rights of the South.— They are the masqned battery behind which onr Institutions have been attacked with a ma lignant hatred and venmi never before equal ed in our country’s history. During this gr-mt political revolution, in which powerful parties.have fallen, and others risen Upon their ruins, the Democratic. Party alone has stood firm and undaunted, faithful to itself, faithful to the Constitution, faithful to the Union.! Possessing all the elements of eonservativeism so justly ascribed to the old Whig Party, and alone being national in its character, acknowledging no North, no South, no East, no West, but grasping iu “all the shore,” extending from sea to sea, and from lake to gulf, and addressing itself to the va ried interests of every section of our country, it commends itse f to the adoption and suppor., of every patriot who wishes to see the storms of sectional agitation ouee more calmed, and the ship of State again sail out upon a smooth sea. It is the last, dearest, best hope of liber ty ; it is the Polar Star, that with gentle light, penetiates the deep gloom and dark des potisms of the old world, and enkind’es a love of freedom in the human breast every where. When it mourns, the bird of liberty droops her pinions in languishing sorrow ; when it dies, freedom will be placed in its shroud, and for ever buried by its side l Mr. Editor this is no hallucination of the mind, no forlorn conclusion of an intoxicated brain. I but give utterance to the deliberate ly formed convictions of a sober judgment. The time has come when every patriot must choose between his party and his country. He knows not but his vote may decide upon the rights of the South—the fate of the Union ! If a member of the American Party, he must decide the question, and that speedily ,wh ether he loves his country more, and hates the for eigner less, or the reverse He inu s t make it up in his mind to give up Mr. Fillmore, a tried and conservative Statesman and patriot, or sacrifice his love of the South and the Union to a greater love of his candidate There is no equivocation that can screen him from this plain and palpable duty. It is beyond the bounds of possibility for Mr. Fillmore to be elected Chief Magistrate of the Union with the immense odds against him in any event ; and a division of the Electoral vote at the South, may serve to throw the contest into the lower House of Congress, where his prospect will certainly be worse than that of the Black UeuußUcnn candidate-, Mr is dear ly the only candidate in th? field for the Presi dency, upon South can rely, and. at. the same time entertain a reasonable hope of his election. 1 hen let patriots every where throughout the whole extent of our country, rally around his standard, and with one unani mous shout, rush on to victory and conquest Let the welkin ring with hozannas of patriot ism, and the vanquished demon of abolition ism be driven bad: in despair to iuhale the me phitic miasm of his fetid den. These suggestions, thus hasti y thrown out, it is humbly hoped, may avail somewhat in in ducing our friends of the American Party to pause and ponder before committing them selves to the support of Mr. Fillmore, or any other course of political action from which they cannot effect gn honorable retreat. I.’ARNEsVILLE. A a Overwhelming Reply In tlic course of a long, üble, and withering reply to the oft-refuted slanders in regard to the federalism of Mr Buchanan, the New York Day Book says: ‘Now, the truth is, Mr. Buchanan never was a federalist in the true sense of that term. A federalist was- an opposer of the war of 1812; Mr. Buchanan supporter! the war by his own good sword. Mr. Buchanan was elected to Congress the first tme in 1820, and as a sup porter of Mr. Monroe s administration; yet as this administration was support id bythofeler alist, the l.Tintonians, and democrat’s, it gives his enemies a chance to say that he was a fed eralist. The true way to determine what he was is to go to the record. Did he favor a strict or liberal construction of the Constitu tion? By their fruits ye shall know them.— Now, almost the first Speech (and a most able one it was) which Mr Bu hanan made on the floor of Congacss was in opposition to a Bankrupt law. In this speech he showed its injustice to the laboring classes, and its wrong in gr Tiling special privileges to the few. Upon other questions his record is equally democratic. Party lines then were not drawn. The old federal party had forsaken its princi ples, aud made pretentious to the era of good feeling, as it was called ‘A lien, however, Mr Monroe drew the lines in his celebrated mes sage upon internal improvement, aud in the enunciation of the Monroe doctrifie, the goats soon separated from the sheep. ‘1 lie former all at once became national Republicans, and Mr. Clay, chagrined and disappointed, joined them. Where was Mr. Buchanan all through this ? Did he go off after the strange gods of the Republican party, like so many pretended democrats of the present day ? Not at all iVe find him unwavering in his support of dem ocrats to principles from the day he enltred on the floor of Congress until the present, and we defy his enemies to prove differ cutly.- Times & Sentinel. ©Sr 5 he Montgomery Journal , a Whig and Fillmore paper, in its issue of the 18th hist thus consoles itself and its friends : “Mr Fillmore has not been posted up, or is singularly misinformed. We bnt stated what we have reason to believe, that Mr. Fillmore, with his known national conservative principals cannot carry a Northern State, running under the flag of the Know Nothings; for the masses of the Know Nothings themselves will not support him. Men may gnimble at nS fur speaking so plainly ; but we speak What We ►believe ; at leant all Who havo taken pains to watch or notice the progress of events.— There is no honesty or policy in attempting to hide these facts.” Dcmocrtic Meeting in Monroe. Pursuant to previous notice-, a respectable portion of the Democratic and Anti-Know Nothing Party of Monroe county, met at the court-house, in Forsyth, oil the first Tuesday in this month. On motion of Col. John H, Jossey, Coi. William °C. Redding was cal'ed to the Chair, and Thos. B. Williams requested to act as Secretary. !he object of the meet ing was explained by the Chairman in a few and pertinent remarks. On motion the meet ing proceeded to appoint to delegates to repre sent this county in a Convention of the Demo cratic Party, to assemble in Milledgeville on the 4th July, to nominate candidates tor Elec tors for Pres dent and Vice President af the United States. The delegates named are Col J. S. Pinckard, Allen Cochran, Willis Currey, James R Green, Joseph Hill, Dr. R. L. Roddey, Duncan MeCowan, E. P. John son, William McLane and Wia. C Redding. Col. F. T. Polhill offered the following pre amble and resolutions, which were unanimous ly .adopted : Whereas, The Democratic Party cf Mon roc county believing that the late harmonious action of the Cincinuatti Convention in their nomination of President and Vice President, has virtually buried party distinction in the dust with all Southern men, and believing that it would be impolitic and unwise in the great impending crisis, that the Mouth should be di vided, therefore cordially invite the co-opera tion of all conservative, constitutional and Union-loving men, omitting auy expression cal culated to disturb the peace and harmony of our combined action, We in the spirit of con ciliation, recommend to all parties, the union of the Sou\h. Be it therefore Resolved, That James Buchanan being a man whose reputation is as Wide as the Repub lic, a man who has filled the highest offices in the country, a man of large experience in the House of Representative?, the Senate, the Cabinet, and In the foreign service, and having always faithfully discharged his duties to his country, we hail his nomination for the Presi dency as a triumph of constitutional fights, and a stern rebuke to sectionalism. Resolved, That in the Hon. John C. Breek enridge, our nominee for the Vice Presidency, we recognizo a true Democrat of high, honor able and chivalrous character, of eminent ta lents, and worthy of the support of all con servative men ; and we hereby ratify his nom ination, and pledge our unflinching allegiance to the platform of which he and his illustrious associate are the exponents. Resolved, That the administration of Frank lin Pierce has been eminently distinguished for its strict fidelity to the Constitution, and that he as Chief Magistrate, will ever be remember ed with gratitude by the South, as a faithful expounder of the same, and that he retires from office ith all the laurels with which that high position can crown him. Resolved, That our country has reached a crisis when It is incumbent upon the South to present an undivided front against Black Re* publicanism, and that any division in our ranks, is giving “aid and comfort to the enemies of the Constitution—therefore, we cordially in vite the co-operation of all. Col. J. S. Pinckard being called on, address ed the meeting in his usual happy style. On motion of Col. Allen Cochran, the Sec retary was requested to furnish the Editors of the Georgia Telegtaph and Empire State each with a copy of the proceedings of this meet* ing, with a request that they publish them. On motion, the meeting adjourned, sine die. WILLIAM C REDDING, Ch’n. T. B. Williams, Secretary. Free Love and Free Soil. From what we read in the papers it would seem th t Col. Fremont, the wooly horse ean d date of the wooly heads, has all the Heredi tary qualifications to reuder him popular With the i igher law people of every grade-free lovers as well as free soilors. It is knotfn that he ran away with the daughter of Col Benton, his present wife; but until we read the sketch of his parents,given by the Richmond Dispatch, we were not aware that be had inherited his free opiuions. ‘1 he Dispatch gives alt interest* ing history of Col Fremont’s progenitors, from which it appears that his mother was a voting and handsome wife of a gouty old public’ house keeper of R ckmond, by the name of Pryor,— Col. Pryor, he was called. Among the board” ers at Col. Pryorls house was a French teach er by the name of Fremont, who while giving lessons in the language and other accomplish ments, succeeding in indoctrinating the frail fair one with his French morality, and eloped with her to Norfolk, where they lived togeth er as man and wife. In a ghort time the twain went further SofSth, and the candidate of the Black Republicans for the Presidency chaneed to be a native of Savannah or Charleston Whether they were ever married or not, the Despatch is unable to say, though it is well known in Richmond that the lady was never divorced from her first husband At the Black Republican Convention in Philadelphia, it was urged among the claims of Col. Fremont to the nomination, that his life was one of ‘ro mantic interest.’ It would seem that his birth was not less romantic that his life. But repub licanism is equality, and in these days of Black Republicanism we are not to inquire into a’ a man’s (.edigree. If Fremont’s blood re ation ship to Fred Doug’ass could be established, it would doubtless make him all the mbi*c accep ta- le to bis party. —Morning News. Thy Two Oaths —When Millard Fillmore joind the Know Nothings, ho took an oath never to appoint a Cat frolic to office, and to remove all such from office. Now, the Consti tution says, ‘tio religious test shall ever be re quired, as a qualification for office or public trust under the United States.’ If Millard Fillmore should be elected, before he enters upon'the duties of the President, he takes a sol mil oath to preserve, protect, ail’d’ defend the Constitution of the United Stat'es.” Now bow can Fillmore take the latter oath without being a purjufed man. There is blB oath to appoint no Catholic to any office And there is his oath to support the Constitution of the U. S. which says ‘no religious test shall be re quired,’ &c. Which oath*will ho break ?He must break the one or the other, and there is no escape from the dilemma. —Fed . Univn, Slack Republican Prospect Believing that she democratic ticket is des tined to succeed pfobabljr by an almost unex ampled popular and electori’ttl majority, we have not cared to'occupy our Small space With the dctailsoftheir movements and vaticinations The nomination of Fremont is held on oil sides as a Weaker one thau that of Judge McCleau would have been; but there is a strong, and jt will be to a very great extent, it successful ef fort to rally all the Northern foes to the Dem ocratic party and the Constitution iipon Uio Black Republican ticket. It is impossible fot* Mr. Fillmore to carry a single non slavehbltl* ing State, and certainly his chances South of the line are too desperate to be con considered at all. The programme of the Courier & Enquirer, Tribune, Times, Herald and Pennsylvania Inquirer is by ‘concentrating all the elements of the opposition* to carry ap many Northern States as possible for Fremont and rely upon the ‘South Americans,’ to win two or three Southern States fob throw the election in the itouse. arid win battle there ! Southern‘Americanisin’ is in deed their last and only hope. We have no fears for the result - . IF op£>o sitionleaders and fuglemen in the Sodtjii choose to remain in such an attitude they will, hud themselves, by November, leaders without a party; and whether with a party or not, the democracy will meet and prostrate them be fore an intelligent and patriotic people.
