At a very large meeting of the Demociatic Party in Greenville; on Tuesday, the Ist of Ju ly, Dr. H. S. Wimbish was called to the Chair, and Win. C. Bray appointed Secretary. Af ter a few appropriate remarks from Dr. YViru bish, Col. McMath moved that the Chair ap point a committee of five to draft resolutions for the consideration of the meeting. The Chair appointed Col. McMath, Judge Warner, Thornton Pope, and H. Gaston. Several gentlemen beiiig balled upon to r peak, respond ed ill an able manner—(3ol AlcVath, Wahier, Mr. Ai vinder Dali, an old line Whig, and Mr. Underwood a regular Know Nothing. The following preamble and reso lutions were then read and adopted : Whereas, The Democratic Party of Meri wether county hail with rt ntie satisfaction, the nominations recently made by the Ciiiciuuati Convention, and believe that thohien then and there presented, are eminently worthy the sup port of the whole South, and wou and avail themselves of this opportunity to i vite the co-opetation us all their fellow-ciuze is, who are willing, to unite with them in the battle about to be fought in behalf of the Coustitu ti'on and equality oi fights among the several States. Be it therefore Ilesolved, That we cordially approve of the platform ami principles oi the National Demo cratic Convention adopted at Cihcihii U .li i and commend it to the calm consideration ahd ear nest, support of every sound man in the Union. Resolved, That we heartily approve the nominations of James Buchanan and John O Breckenridge, as candidates for the Presidency and Vice Presidency of the United States, and ive Will use all honorable means to secure their election. Resolved, Thdt in the Opinioti of this Meet ing, the administration of President Pierce has been distinguished for an unfaltering devotion to the Constitution of the country, aud asem phiotiG fegard for our national honor, and that the South owes him a debt of undying grati tude for l.is fi-ni and manly support of their just and constitutional rights, amid the fierce storms of fanaticism through which he has guided the ship of State. Kesolved, Thatlhe Chairman of the meet ing appoint thirty Delegates to attend the De mocratic Convention to be held in Milledge ville on the 4th of July.

Bray, Secretary. , Hear an Old Line Whig. We commend to Old Line Whigs and Un ion men, the following, which is communicated to the Constitutionalist by au ‘Old Line V \ big.’ But I do uot address you merely to congrat ulate you, and cordially approve and endorse the jtlallonii and candidates of the party. I address you, also, for another purpose—at and it is, to offer to you and your readers a little history o-’ the past, and to refiesh and set a few Kijjw Nothings ("formerly Union men, ttiid Buchanan men in I860) who, either obvi ously and ignorantly, or wilfully, have lately attempted to mislead the public mind as to Mr. Bliclittnan’s past aiid present views in re lation to the Missouri Compromise, and his course towards the South. ‘Why Mr. Editor, it was because of Mr Buchanan’s then well known high, elevated, and truly conservative position, and his sympathy for the iSouth in 1860, that from all appeafelices at lie time, made him the choice, the first choice, of tlm Union Men of Georgia, for the Presidency. It was his position, und advocacy of the doc trines he iifcfW maintains, that made a very large majority of the Union men, in 1850, then greatly prefer him even to Mr. F illmorc, even though Mr. Fillmore was then the President. “All, or nearly all,” seemed to be for Buch anan, at the Georgia CoffveutiOn,’ in 1850, for I was there myself, While I lu ard, not one, not even one, tvho was then for Fillmore-even though he had‘signed the Compromise meas ures;’ And it &as no donbt tjke course which I wish here to allude to. aiid first prom ligated by Mr.*Foote, and Mr. Buchanan’s subsequent course during i hose trying times, that made the speakers of the Convention (among them Messrs Stephens and Toombs*) speak sb high ly of Mr. Buchanan, Willie they aid no u even mention the naihe of Fillmore once. And lor myself, Mr. Editor, I can truly say that it was from reading Mr. Foote’s speech, and then understanding Mr. Buchanan well, that made your humble servant fiudh ,u warn! Buchanan man in 1850, and that makes him delight so much to support him at this time. For ever since that time, 1 have felt fts willing to trust our rights under the Constitution, upon the slavery question, as readily to Mr. Buchanan as that of any Southern man. And now that Mr. Buchanan is a candidate, I cannot but de sire to call your, and the readers attention to this ‘expose’ of Mr. Foote, made in the Unit ed States Senate, on the 2lftb Juno, 1850. But as this communication is long enough, and perhaps too long, I will close for the present, and give you the balance to-morrow. OLD LINE WHIG. iBSy-No matter whom it hits, the following which we find in a western paper, is too good to be lost : “In 1852, when the Whig Convention was in ses sion, first came news that Geu. Scott, who wassup* posed to display, particularly ill “plumage,’ was nominated for the Presidency. Then came news that William Graham, of North Carolina, the haul of “tar and turpentine,” was nominated lor the Presidency. When this latter piece of in* telligence was conveyed to Mr. Webster, he war engaged in shaving himself. He stopped, and hav ing heard the news, remarked, iu lu3 low, emphat ic manner, as he deliberately wiped his razor, — •Well', I do not see, then, but that the Whig Par ty bad been tarred and feathered.” For the Empire State. Fourth of July at Bear Creek, Henr y County, Ga.

HANSONih ) D. A. SMITH, } CoffimiUte; D. W. FIFE; ) For the Empire State. WoomuKY, Ga., July 4, 1856. Col. A. A. Gadding—Dear Sir : Being at leisure to-day, the Anniversary of the Declar ation of the Independence of the United States, and there being no demonstration of mirth or amusement in this locality, except the pleasure of bathing in the Poplar Springs es tablishment at this place, hence I drop you a line to pass away time. You know that Mer iwether and Upson counties are noted for their Mineral Springs and fashionable vater ing places, viz : The Thundering Springs and Warm Springs, in Upson, on the roud leading from this place to Thoinaston ; the White Sulphur, Chalybeate, Warm, Colo, -ad a Min eral Spring a few miles north Os Flat Shoals, on the premises of Mr King, in Meriwether, with bathing apartments io n!i, except tue two last named. Bathing being so popular* the citizens of this place resolved te reHr a bath establishment for their o#n refreshment, atilUsement and benefit —having obtained per mission of Arnos Chfin, Jr., to build at the Springs on his premises, known here as the Poplar Springs, from the large poplar trees growing over und about them. The principal growth of the woods is oak, hickory and dog wood* making a pleasant retreat these sultry days. The building was erected in a tempo rary manner suitable for bathing, and opened on the 15th of .June last, and has been a place of general resort for the citizens of lids place and vicinity. We bathe before breakfast and alter +ea, and find it not unpleasant at noon Persons traveling on busi: e?s, .'hr health or pleasure, if passing this way* will Cali / (if only for novelty.) and they can get ad rink of ex cellent cool water, and bathe without charge, as Bathing is hfcrfe free,- For us all and thee,’ And you Wc aesurfc, The water is pare. w tempoßa, o Monies. How it is Relieved. The nomination ol Messrs. Bucharan tifid Breckeni’idgc has been received with a degree of favor, throughout tWb south, such as has been’ before to the nominees of no party* within the time of our recollection- We remember no rrovious occasion iu winch the opposition were not encouraged by some ex amples of defection on the announcement <sf the names of the candidates nominated. Notv, the South witness nothing of the! fcifid. We doubt whether in these fifteen States, there is to be found a single individual, who was* con nected ttith the Democrat party at the time of the assemblage of the Cincinnati Convention, who is not now warmly in favor of the election of Buchanau and F/recfcinredge. Surely such unexampled unanimity, is uot without a mean ing. <•, , But more than this! everywhere there are those formerly bitterly opposed to Democracy whose present purpose is to support tlio Dem cratie nominees. And* Unless expressions which daily reach us nre deceptive, itfany who would bo perfectly satisfied with the election of Mr. Fillmore, will, iu November be fohtid voting for Buchanan Why ? Because they deem the success of Mr Fillmore hopeless. They will not, dsrc not as patriots, increase the chances of the Black Republicans by withhold ing their votes from the only ticket whieb can possibly defeat tlliis motley and traitorous croWd.— Gear. & Jour, From the New York Herald. * Important from the National Capital Douglas’ Kansas Bill—Amendments thereto, Murcy Felicitated by the French Minister—the British Legation fe-opelted—the Fillmore and Fremont Men Plotting, Etc. Washington, July 3 1&56. Judge Douglas’ bill as it passed the Senate tins morning, will undoubtedly pass the House. The leading objection to the bill urged by the nigger worshipers in the Senate was, that it confined the right of voting to those who were in the territory on the Fourth bf July instant, and thus oxcluded all thdse alleged to have bbfin driven cut of the Territory by the disturb ances. Just before the final vote was taken Judge Douglas offered the following amend ment, in order to obviate this objection, which was adopted almost unanimously— That tiii bersons who posoes the other (Jual iiici.tions prescribed by this act for voters; and who shall have been bona, fide inhabitants of said territory, at any time'since the Organiza tion thereof find who shallTiave absented them selves therefrom in consequence of the disturb ances therein, and who shall return pridt 1 tb the first day of October next, and become lo na jidi inhabitants, with the view of making it their permanent home, and shall furnish satis factory evidence oi’ these facts to the Board of Commissioners, shall be entitled to vote; and shall have their names placed on the corrected lists of voters for that purpose. There was Otic other important amendment, offered bv Mr. of Missouri, aud adopt ed—forty to three—which repeals all the ob noxious laws in the Territory as to test oaths, Ac. enu guaranteeing fr eedom of speech, dis cussion aud the press on slavery and all other su Meets. The House Topeka bill will be referred to the committee on Territories in the Senate; and it is rumored that Judge Douglas will re port on Tuesday a copy of the Senate bill just parsed as a substitute for the House measure, and in that shape it will undoubtedly become the law. Judge Douglas’ able tactics have completely diseoncertcd tub nigger worship pers Mr Sartiges, the French Minister; called On Secretary Maroy at the State Department to day, ana expressed himself highly delighted at the peaceful turn things have taken between Our gdVeiriimelit and England, ahd further, that the fete ititiu of our Minister will effect an amicable adjustment ot ail of our difficul ties with that government. This friendly as surance pleased the Old Premier atnazinglv. I am informed this evening, On good author ity, that the English government have instruc ted Ms. Luhisley ; Secretary of Legation, to opeti this office, which had been closed by authority of Mr Craraptoa Thus diplomatic intercourse will go on as though nothing had transpired. The administration do not expect anew Minister itl place of Mr. Crumpton Idr some time. A caucus is now being belli at a private parlor iu Willard’s Hotel by quite a large number of nigger worshippers, in which ‘1 hur low Weed and Seward are the principal lead ers The ohject Os this meeting is, I under stand, to effect some arrangement between the Fillmore and Fremont interests. Quite a number of Pennsylvania Fillmore men are now in§the city. I'he trial of Herbert, for murder, and that of Brooks, for assault, are appointed to take place next week. Many members of the House are atixioils to relieve themselves of speeches on the Sum nCf assault, which they had prepared for some time ; The official report of V’ ednesday’s proceed ings i.i the Senate on the Kansas bill will oc cupy about eighty columns of the Glofo news paper. All Right in Tennessee. If there are any so much infatuated as to suppose that there is dotibt abdnt the success of the democratic ticket in Tennessee, the fol lowing from the Nashville Uuion, a paper which is doing noble service in our cause, will dispel such doubt. We know the several old line whigs named. In othef days we have met aud encountered them in honorable political conflicts There is not a man amongst them who does dot deserve all that the Nashville Union says of them:—[Feu. Union. Old Line Whigs in the Field. —We are ve ry much gratified to learn that a number of dtif recent ratification meetings have been ad dressed by old line whigs. At Knoxville the Hon. John 11. Crozier; W. G. Swan, Esq., Col. John R. Nelson, and Col. George W. Mabry, four of the most popular meti in East Tennessee, took the stand iu behalf of Buchan an and Brcckenridge. The meeting at Char ftftte on Monday last, was addressed by that aid veteran and compeer of Ms’ Henry, N H Allen, Esq., oi Montgomery. For true native eloquence and personal popularity Mr. Allen Ims but feW superiors iu the State. Ho will do yeomah* service its the coutest now openiug, as he expressed an intention, we are informed, to canvasS a large portion of the State. Maj.

Yetge4 one of the ablest debaters and most gifted speakers of the old whig ranks, dressed the ratification meeting at Memphis. Roll on the ball! It is a work of patriot ism iu which men of all past political divisions should feel proud to join. It is a work for the Union, the Constittftion, and the sovereignty of the States. All the heterogeneous elements of northern fanaticism have fused into one powerful and dangerous combination against the rights of the South, as maintained by the national democracy of the Union. The sound conservative men of the north, under the lead of Janies Buchanan, are battling them hand to hand in desperate conflict. Let the South, then, go as one man to their rescue.

A few days ago, we heard an individual on the street, say, that Millard Fillmore would carry the State of Georgia, at the next Presi dential election, by a majority of at least ten thousand votes ! It was th-. remark that lhadd us turn on our heel to look at the speaker, for we wondered if it was a man—a “true and true one” as the boys say—that had made it And sure enough it was; quite a genteel look ing one too, and we have but little doubt that he spoke what he believed. We judge so from the earnestness and zeal with which he contin ued to express himself, and we believe, had we been inclined, we could have persuaded him easily to wager no inconsiderable amount that such would be the result of the election. To account for this strange hallucination, we were at a loss for some time; but when we were told that he was a constant reader of the Chronicle & Sentinel, of Augusta, that he sel dom read any other, and never a democratic paper, we set him down as one who would ‘‘siii againts light and knowledge/ though Satati hi ms ell stood before him. We niust confess that this is the worst case that ever came to our knowledge. It is even worse than that misdirected zeal which is go often witnessed in men, who, conscious that they are maintaining a bad cause, continue to do so, as it were, for spite, do so with untiring and unflagging zeal. For the mere sake of Opposition they toil and toil, failure being only a stimulant for renewed ekertiOns. it is sq tod with more than one press in Georgia. They ‘never say die/ but go on, ‘not animated by hope’ but ‘urged by despair’ to mislead the people and excite them into a contest from which they can only escape with ignominious defeat. The observing and intelligent, as well as pa triotic cannot help seeing the management thit attains, at least, one of the objects aimed at by these presses. First, their leaders must be deceived, in order to keep up some sort of a party organization; for, in its absence, they fear the loss of that patronage which par.tiest and even factions, give to pal’ty presses. They seem to fear the loss of a sort of tendership which they claim, and which, at the best, con fers no great deal of profit, and very little hon or. In other words, It is apparent, in this State; that they apprehend being ‘swallowed up’ by the democratic presses; hence their mis directed zeal, to call it by no harsher name.— They succeed, however, in one thing, and that is’in persuading men into a belief in the success of their candidates, when they know that cer tain defeat awaits them. As for instance, in the case of the individual to whom we referred at the outset of this article. He verily be lieves that Millard Fillmore will carry Georgia by a majoiity of ten thousand votes; and, to instill into him a contrary, belief, the readef would hath to obliterate from ‘newspaper-dom’ the (jhrdcible and Sentinel; of Augusta. The money, energy, aiid labor of this man, will, diiting ihe next four months, be devoted to bringing about the expected result, and he will hear nothing to the contrary until it is too late Os him we San only, therefore, say, ‘Ephraini is joined to his idols, let him alone !’ But we hope better things of the masses.—- Light is abroad !u the South, and men see what before were hidden from them. They see now the black banner of the ‘Black itepiibli cane’ waving in defiance of the South, and they will no longer be allured bv false lights frouf being in the thickest of the fight and under lead of a legion and not a faction. On every side of tis, the evidence of this cheers us ou; and We iildulge confidently .the belief that Bnch auan’s majority in this State, will exceed by far that of President Pierce, in 1852. Time will soon determine whether we be right o> worng’ — Examiner. . ~ —, . —— A-Sign of Peace. In the Senate yesterday, after the close of the discussion on the Kansas bill, Mr. VVeller moved its recommitment of the committeo oii Territories with the several substitutes offered therefor, expressing bis preference for the bill of Mr. Toombs. This bill, it will be recollect ed, proposes that a census of the Os Kansas shall fcfe taken, under the direction 1 of the Secretary of State; by the commission ers appointed for the purpose, and that none but actual residents of the Territory are to be counted. Provision is then made for a fair and impartial election of delegates to a State Convention to form a preparato ry to the admission into the Union. Mr. Stephens has auuciiuced his intention to intro duce a similar measure into the House. , Mr. Claytati’d plan we have already given.’ These movements by Southern gentlemen indicate that a proper concern has been awakened, not only for the peace of Rauias, but of the Union; It is impossible to conceal the fact that an ur gent necessity exists for’ fiff early pacification, and the country at large cannot but be grati fied at the promise of a prompt disposition of the subject.

As* Amusing Mistake. —A geutleman of doubt was going out in his carriage to make some calls with his wife, when discovering that he had left bis visiting cards, he ordered his footman, recently COine into service, tCf go’ to the mantle-piece in his sitting room, and bring the cards he should see there. The servant did as he was directed, and off started the gen tleman, sending in his footman with cards wherever the “not at . home” occurred". Ad those were very numerous, he turned to the servant with the question : “How many cards have vou left ?” “Well, sir,” said the footman, very innocent ly, “there’s the king of spades, the 6 of hearts and the ace of clubs.” . ;; “The deuce !” exclamed his master. “That’s gone,” said John.
