Several communications crowded out this week. Trimmer. We refer our readers to an article over the above signature, to be found on our fourth page. Public Discussion. On Friday, the Ist instant, Benj. IT. Hill, the great champion of the Fillmore Party, and candi date Tor Elector on that ticket for the State at large, made his appearance in our city for the pur pose of addressing the people on the political top ics of the day. Much pains had been taken by the Know Nothings to get up a crowd for the oc casion, and in this respect they succeeded pretty well. Several hundred persons from Spalding, Pike and Henry, were convened on the occasion. By special request of the Democratic Party, Mr. Hill consented to meet Col. Ramsey the Democrat ic candidate for Elector of the 3rd Congressional District, in debate. Col. A R. Moore, on the part of the Know Nothings, and Hon. William Moseley, on the part of the Democrats, were se lected to preside over the meeting. Mr. Hill led off in a speech of an hour and three quarters, which was mostly confined to a criticism on the public life and character of Mr. Buchanan, whom he denounced in the most unmeasured terms as un sound upon all questions of public policy. He dwelt at great length upon the stale charge of “ten cents a day for labor,” which by much circumlo cution, he proved (as he supposed ) to be true.— He made a desperate effort to show that Mr. Buch anan and his party had abandoned the Cincinnati Platform —his object in this being to create the impression that though the Platform was sound and strong, which he could not deny, yet our party was not disposed to stand upon it. lie spoke long and loud of Squatter Sovereignty, that great bug bear which is so much talked of, but little under stood by the people of the country. These were the main topics on which Mr. Hill descanted. His speech bore upon its face the semblance of plausi bility, but. his arguments, though ingenious, were unfair, unsound, and very deceptive. He has great tact in drawing improper and incorrect conclusions froiri premises that are true, and great adroitness in evading the main issue in a controversy. In his speech on the occasion under consideration, he oc cupied the most of his time in discussing collateral issues, and saying but litt e of the great questions of the day, which is the question of slavary. He made an argument against the Kansas and Nebras ka Bill, and an argument in its favor, leaving the audience in the dark as to his true position on that question. lie would uot say categorically that he or his party were on the Philadelphia Platform of February last ; but undertook to explain and apol ogise for the striking out of the 12th section of the Philadelphia Platform of last year, which we think he failed to do to the satisfaction of any can did man in the assembly. Mr. Hill has much rep utation as a stump-speaker, but the weakness of the cause he now advocates, destroys most of the force and effect of his zealous efforts. Having no solid arguments to offer, he resorts to nods and winks, and ridicule, to create mirth in the crowd, and the Know Nothings call this oratory of a high order l Having consumed his hour and three quarters in a sort of guerilla warfare against Buchanan and Democracy, he yielded the stand to Col. Ramsey, who occupied the two hours and a half allotted to him, in the vindication of the prin ciples of the Democratic Party, the merits ot Mr. Buchanan, and in exposing the blackness of Mil lard Fillmore’s political record. He produced the evidence that Fillmore’s political associations had been of the worst character, that on all occasions while a mornber of Congress, he invariably voted against the interests of the South, and by his let ters, speeches and acts had shown himself totally unsound and unsafe on the great question of slave ry. Col. Ramsey’s mode of speaking is altogether different from that of Mr. Hill. Ramsey speaks with foFce, en ergy, earnestness ; he reasons, cogent ly and logically, without any of that clap-trap ad capitandum slang which seemed to be the forte of his adversary on this occasion. Ramsey speaks to convince—he addresses the understanding and the judgment; Hill speaks to tickle the fancy, to ex cite the risibility, to raise the laugh, and turn the grin upon his opponent. Mr. Hill, having the conclusion, occupied three quarters of an hour in a Jame effort to meet the charges preferred against his candidate: some of these he tried to explain away, others he disposed of very summarily, by saying Mr. Fillmore had seen the error of his ways, and had repented o f those abominable political sins which rendered him so odious to the South. Repentance is a great virtue, and very convenient for Mr. Fillmore in this particular juncture; and Mr. Hill uses it very freely in his efforts to bolster up the rickety polit ical character of the “model President.” This is but a brief and imperfect sketch of the debate, which we have reason to believe resnlted somewhat and ifferfent from what our Know Nothing, friends had anticipated. They had overrated the strength of their champion, and underrated that of his ad versary, and hence, what they predicted would be a great triumph, turned out to be something else. Very few of the Democrats had ever heard Col. Ramsey on the stump, and from the vaporings of the Know Nothings about Mr. Hill’s vast powers a9 a stump orator, rather dreaded the result of the conflict. But they were very agreeably disappoint ed in finding our champion a full match for theirs, aud capable of upholding the Democratic banner in any field of battle. Os one thing we feel assur ed, the cause of Fillmore isn’t set ahead in these parts by Mr, Hill’s late visit to Griffin. Griffin Female College. This Institution commcnnl its Fall Session on Monday last, with about the usual number of Pupils in attendance. If energy and perseverance are elements of success, this College must prosper. President at his own expense, has during vacation, procured apparatus to explain the prin ciples of Natural Philosophy and Chemistry, in such a man ner that the Pupils may clearly understand the object of these Sciences. Successful instruction cannot be imparted in these branches without such help. . Squatter Sovereignty. The largest item of capital, upon which the Know Nothing party has to trade, in the present canvass, is Squatter Sovereignty. This doctrine is understood as variously as the crude notions of upstart politicians are disposed to represent it to suit their purposes. They have impressed the ig norant with the idea that it is something very bad which the Democratic party is trying to put upon the country. We attach very little importance to to this abstraction, for such we consider it, in the present state of things. Squatter Sovereignty is defined to be the power residing in the Territorial Legislature, to pass laws for the establishment or rejection of slavery, while the people are in a Ter ritorial condition; and the advocacy of this princi ple is endeavored to be forced upon Mr. Buchanan and the Democratic party, by our opponents. — Nothing, however, is farther from the truth than this charge. The Platform of the party, or the written opinions of Mr. Buchanan, do not author ise any such assumption. The Democratic party maintains, that the people of a territory, when as sembled in Convention, to trame a Constitution preparatory to admission into the Union as a State have the right to decide for themselves, the charac ter of their domestic institutions, to determine whether slavery shall or shall not exist among them. This is Mr. Buchanan’s doctrine, this is the doctrine of the Cincinnati platform, this is our doctrine. That Gen. Cass, and a few individual members of the party entertain views differing somewhat from these, we will not deny. It is a matter of but very little importance practically, in the present contest. We can’t conceive how the decision of this question can materially affect the present contest; and till our adversaries give us the opinions of their immaculate candidate, and of their party, upon this subject, it ill beeomes them to be passing judgement upon tha correctness of our views in reference to this abstraction. By request we have transferred to our columns, from the Macon Telegraph, an article on this subject signed Publius. Differing as we do from the wri ter in some of his views, still wc are willing that he should have an opportunity of laying his opini on before the public. We know him upon all car dinal practical doctrines, to be a Democrat, sound to the core, and altogether able and competent to take care of himself in a political controversy. Millard Fillmore in 1838. An Abolition Society in Erie county, NewYork, in 1838, among other questions, propounded to Mr. Fillmore the following, “Are you in favor of immediate legislation for the abolition of Slavery in the District of Columbia?” which Mr. Fillmore answered in the affirmative. About the time this transpired, the District of Columbia was the main point of attack by the Abolitionists. Petitions were daily pouring into Congress, praying the Ab lition of Slavery in that District. This was the enter ing wedge to a grand scheme of measures by which Slavery was ultimately to be extirpated step by step from the country. To be in favor of this initiative in those days, was considered the strongest test of Abolitionism. It was resisted with might and main by every Southern patriot, and to have ac cused a Georgian of favoring the pretensions of any politician who advocated this measure, would have been considered a grand insult, and if Fill more s name had been then proposed as a candid ate for President, it would scarcely have found a supporter in Georgia. But lo ! what a change a few years can work I Mr. Fillmore is now the idol of thousands even in this same State of Geor gia. with all his former political sins hanging about him. We suppose his friend and advocate, Mr. B. Hill, would plead “repentance,” for this as well as other political sins, but we should like to know the time when, or the place where, he ever renounced the odious principle contained in his answer to the Erie Society. Echo answers when and where? Valuable Public Document. The Hon. Hiram Warner has laid us under ad ditional obligations, for a copy of Commodore Perry’s Expidition to Japan. It is a large vol umn, tastefully bound, neatly printed, beautifully embellished by 89 Lithographs and 78 Wood cuts, and is certainly the finest Congressional Docu ment we have ever seen. Judge Warner is cer tainly entitled to our warmest thanks, for this, as well as many, very many favors previously receiv ed from him. lie has, in this respect, well suppli ed the place of the Representative from our own District, to whom wo are not indebted for one sin gle favor, nor do we regret it. Acknowledgement. We are indebted to xiur friend Tandy Ti Johnson for the present ofa very nice watermelon, for which he will please accept our grateful acknowledge ments. We wish him much comfort and happiness at his bachelor home, and trust that before long his solitary habitation may be cheered by the pre sence and the smiles of a sweet, beautiful, bouncing young bride. Rev. James C. Patterson. At the late Commencement of Oglethorpe Uni versity, the Degree of Doctor of Divinity was con. ferred on the Rev. James C. Patterson, President of the Faculty of Griffin Synodical Female Col egc. Perrin M. Brown—A vile Trick. The Know Nothing presses, have given much notiriety to a celebrated individual, bearing the above cognomen. This Perria M. Brown, some weeks since is said to have addressed a circular, purporting to eminate from the Post Office depart ment at Washington, calling on every Post Mas ter to constitute an amount prepotioned to the fees of his office, towards defraying the expenses of printing and circulating documents, to promote the election of Mr. Buchamin. The K. N. papers getting hold of this precious d&cament, published it to the world as an evidence of the foulest offi cial corruption, and sonie of"tile least scrupulous of these still continue to publish it, even after it has been exposed as a base & palpatable fraud. — It turns out that no such man as Perrin M Brown has any connection with the department at Wash ington, and the presumption is that he is some vil lainous Know Nothing who resorted to this base expedient, to put money in bis pocket, and make capital for his party. Such is the fairness with which the campaign is being conducted by the op position. The following letter from the Post Master Gen eral, fully exposes the contemptible fraud : Post Office Department, 1 July 12th, 1856. J Dear Sir: —Your letter of the 10th inst., has just been received, for which I am much indebted. The circular signed “Perrin M. Brown,” address ed to the Post Master of Lansingburgh, and for warded by you, is an infamous fraud. There is no person of that name in this city; but some individ ual assuming it, engaged a box at the Post Office here with a view to aid him in Carrying out his dishenest purpose, and but for the timely exposure which has been made of it, would no doubt have succeeded, to some extent, at least. As soon as the matter was brought to my knowledge, I gave instructions for his arrest; but he has not since venturned to call for his letters. If any are received, they will go to the Dead Letter office, and any money they may contain will be returned to the writers. I am respectfully, Your obedient servant, JAMES CAMPBELL. For the Empire State. A Trip to Brunswick. Mr. Editor : Having recently paid a visit to the long neglected City of Brunswick, which lies on the south-eastern coast of Georgia. 1 have thought proper to give a brief sketch of my limited obser vations whilst there, as it may prove of some in terest to the man of enterprise. . I had often heard of the beauty of its location, and’the surrounding vicinity described by others, -which has long since awakened a lively imagination in my mind's eye of a spot and a place worthy of admiration. On the morning of the 27th of July last, my fancy was more than realized as I was safely borne into port by the beautiful steamer Wellaka, com manded by the gentlemanly and urbane Captain King. The city is situated on the eastern side of Oglethorpe Bay, about 13 miles from the bar. The scenery is fine, and the atmosphere is balmy and delightful. From my own observations, and the report of others, I am constrained to believe that there is no place on the southern coast which presents a finer scenery, or has a safer harbor for commerce than Brunswick. To use the language of Georgia’s historian, “the site of the town is a beautiful bluff of close sand, the soil is perfectly dry and very eligible for a large city, being elevat ed from 8 to 12 feet above high water, and extend ing itself up and down the Bay for upwards of 2 miles, offering a delightful situation for a town of the largest extent. The beauty of its location, the splendid river, and circumjacent Islands, make it altogether the handsomest site we have seen on our coast for the erection of a commercial emporium and naval depot.” The health of the place cannot be doubted, as I wub informed by the citizens that there have but two deaths occurred in the city for the past two years, and has always been exempt from the ma lignant epidemics of cholera and yellow fever, whilst the neighboring cities on the coast were vic tims to the ravages of these terrible diseases—na ture having formed its location within an aquatic crescent of pure salt water, gives it a pre-eminence over every other southern seaport north of Galves ton. The present prospects of improvement are now flattering. The purchasers of City Lots at the late sale, are now erecting and preparing to erect business houses for the coming cotton season. One fine steam saw mill is noW fn operation, and another soon to commence near by. The city is also favored with a permanently’ established print ing press, “The Brunswick Herald,” edited by our public spirited and enterprising old friend and fel. low-citizen, B. F. Griffin, formerly of Macon, Ga. who we hope will reap the full fruition of a merit ed reward from the labors of his enterprise, for few r men do more to promote the prosperity of a city than a good and worthy editor of a newspaper.— The Brunswick Railroad is also progressing very rapidly, and is now in operation about 28 miles, and will soon form a rapid aod easy facility thro’ the most fertile cotton region of Georgia, uniting the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico in the lucrative bands both of an inland and foreign commerce.— Brunswick is a place comparatively in contempla tion now, but it is destined to-be a city that will yet, in mv opinion, if proper direction is given to the capital already invested, rival the ancient mag nificence of the “Alexandria of the Nile, or the hundred gated r J hebes of olden time.” Her en terprising people are not behind in educational pursuits. They now have a flourishing Academy patronized by over one hundred pupils, beside the Legislature of Georgia has endowed her Literary Institutions with valuable real estate that will be an inexhaustible fund for the county of Glynn.— With all the combination of advantages which sur round that promising city in the forms of her nav igation, railroads, canals, schools, health, and the luxuries of the water, and the beautiful and attrac. tive scenery, it cannot fail to enjoy the rapid growth to a wealthy aud influential city ; and ere long, and in my humble judgment, the time is not lar distant when the din of her busy commerce shall break the morning slumbers of her hundred thousands who will awake but to give renewed en ergy and vitality to the great southern artery of commerce, and if Congress will but do the South justice in the establishment of a Southern Navy Yard, Oglethorpe Buy will be the first waters to baptise the proudest batitle-s&pe of the American Navy- F, W. A. DOYLE. Mr. Fillmore’s opposition to the Ann exation of Texas. In 1844, Mr. Filmorewas an ardent opposer of Texas annexation, A t a mass meeting in the State of New York, in 1844, Air. Filmore made a speech from a booth reared under a bauuer on which were painted, in ridicule, Gen. Jackson and James! iOPolk, the latter mounted by a negro! who car-. ried a small flag bearing Mie name of T&gs. i For the Empire State. What does it all mean 1 Mr. Editor : By perusing your papers and oth ers, I find a number of Examinations of different Schools set forth, and the great improvement made in the Schools ; and I have been made to ask is all right ? (as is said in Scripture, is all well ?) — Mr. Editor, when my children are out of my sight, and when I put them under the care of others, it is my duty as a Christian to know what kind of in fluences are thrown around them. Job, when his children went the rounds of feasting with one another, there h.e would offer sacrifices to the Lord, lest they had sinned against God.’ We are also told to bring up our children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord ; and when we put our children under pious men, we expect in some good degree, the influences of Christianity to be thrown around, them ; and when their examinations come on, we hope to see something like thfe fear of God before them, and that the instruction has had some good effect upon their minds, and that to some good degree we may see that those influences have been tlyown around them, that we ourselves would have approbated. But what has been the course pursued by our teachers ? Has it not been for show ? Surely it has been show and wicked show’ ! I have no objection to teachers trying to excel in learning their pupils that that is of benefit to them, and to please their patrons, is surely right so far as morality and religion is concerned ; but no mat ter how wicked some men may be, and care not for morality or religion for the good of society, if nothing else, teachers ought to throw’ around their pupils every thing that w’ould be a benefit to socie ty ; and never should a teacher place any thing, or teach any thing, or bring to bear on their minds that that w'ould be disgusting to any of their pat rons, especially those teachers who profess to be teachers of good things, of the gospel of Christ. But what have I seen ? Some time past, going to LaGrange, I saw tents of different sorts spread abroad in the valley. I was truly surprised, and could not for a while, conjecture in my mind what it could be for ; but after a w’liile I remembered that the Examination of one of the Schools w'as going on, and upon enquiry, found that there were companies from different places to make out the show. I was made to reflect, and in my mind to ask, why was it necessary to mix the firing of can non, beating of drums, fiddling and dancing nearly all night, and then to crown the w’liole, was a shooting match by the companies, to see which was the best marksman, and bear off the largest prize, and as an additional crown to the whole, Ministers of the Gospel attending the scene, and laugh at the sport! Surely such things w’ould erase from the mind any good impressions made by the examina tions ; and truly w r e, as Ministers an.d members of Christ’s Kingdom, and moral men and women, do say by such conduct, that we approve of dancing and shooting matches ; and if no harm in those things, w’here is the harm in a horse race, game at billiards, at cards, dancing in families, checks, or any other game that we may choose to play at.—- We know that men differ in their amusements — some are fond of one thing and some of another.— Now if show is what we w’ant, and to gather the people together is our object, let me suggest a course to the teachers of Schools in our towns and cities and villages. As we have professors and ak so preachers for teachers, they will understand my suggestion, and can accommodate the masses. In the first place, let the musicians be invited, and at the close of the Examination of one Class (and let Classes be small) let there be music and dancing, let all be prepared for it, that no time be lost ; and after the first reel, let that be closed by a very ac tive, lively jig, as it is some times called ; then pro. ceed with the second Class. At the close of that Class, let there be a game of cards, and a billiard table convenient, so that they that prefer standing may amuse themselves in that way, and let the mu sic still go on ; but the old people will get very tired sitting by the turn of the day, then let there be a horse-race next, and every thing be in readi ness as soon as the people can get to ground, and fixed on the stand made for that purpose, let the horses stand, by the time there is a lew rounds run the people will be ready for a barhacue,and be sure to have it ready for the people to sit down and rest, and eat, and talk of tho fine performances they had seen and heard ; and if really necessary, let the teacher furnish a little of the ‘over-joyful,’as there are some who cannot enjoy themselves without it, and he ought not to be partial—he ought to give a general invitation, and furnish accordingly ; and as chicken-fighting and gander-pulling is favorites with some, let them not be slighted, and be sure to mix it in such a manner as to give no offence at the show, for you will soon want more scholars, and it stands all the teachers in hand to do well for themselves; and be sure to appoint agents (as it is the custom of the day to have agents for every thing.) to solicit more scholars. Thus acting, you will be sure to get the praise of men, whether you do ol God or not, and perhaps that is not so very material at present, as you have put on a profession of religion, you intend all shall be right at last, and you need not look at that Scripture for a while, uutil you have accomplished your desire, then you may turn to the 10th chapter of Ist Corinthians, and read 31st verse as follows : “Whether, there fore, ye eat or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.” And again in the 3rd chap ter of Colossians and 17th verse, read as follows : “And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.” Then read the 16 ver ses. Also read Ephesians 5,17,18, 19, 20. Bead also the Ist chapter and 28th verse. Then read the sth chapter of James and 13th verse.— But I had like to have forgot one particular thing in my suggestion. In the evening of each day have a short discourse by some Minister from the fol lowing text : “To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.— Eccl. 3rd chap. Ist verse. And if the preacher is smart, he will perhaps set your conscience at ease, so that you may end J’our days in peace. 1 now suggest to the professor of religion, whoever you be, the propriety of reading and prayerfully exam ining the foregoing Scriptures. Adieu. DANIEL. The Democracy of New York —lt affords us sincere pleasure to -announce the cordial union of the Democracy of New York, which took place at Syracuse on the 30th July. This intelligence will be gladly welcomed by the great Democratic party of the Union. The De mocracy of New York, when united, have al ways been invincible. Charleston, Juiy 28.-A meeting took place this afternoon, near this city, between Cob Cunningham, of the Evning News and James L Hatch, Esq., of the Standard, Shots were exchanged, but neither party was injurod. The difficulty was honorably adjusted. [For the Empire State.] Powf.llton House, | Newbury, July 22d, 1856. ) How difficult the task, dear Mr. “Empire State,” to satisfy the wishes and desires, the hopes and the feats of all for whom we idlers write. Being a direct descendant of old St. Anthony, and having often ridden on his nose, I thought I might assume the right without question of keeping you posted in reference to the doings within his domain. But that right is questioned; The prime young ladies are thunderstruck at my audacity—the, gay and light hearted ones wonder they were not even mentioned ns Miss A., Miss B. or Miss Z.; while the dear good manias are ready to tear my eyes out for making no mention whatever of babydom which exists here to perfection. I freely acknowledge my errors, plead guilty to all the charges, and meekly submit to such punishment as my gentle judges and jurors may see fit to inflict. For the sake of keeping in the good graces of the most intelligent and de lightful of mothers I have met at any place, I will fire up mv own indignation in their behalf, and \t;:; this .neglect of the juveniles intention al, would say f v ‘url*;rsl” 4 hat none but a heart less old bachelor, one whoso si'ni'c; r.r: com pletely dried up and withered by selfishness, or some “sire without a sou!,*’ could have omitted all mention of the troup of gay, frolicksomc children that gambol and make the welkin ring with their merry voices, throughout the day, and sometimes their nurses to scold throughout the night. Ah, such angels now, giving prom-! ise ol such manly and womanly worth, by and ! by, are sights too pleasing to be lost of forgot- ! ten. We have then pets of papas and mam-j mas of all ages and generally of most excellent j condition, from the l'a.t checked baby of months, j to the girl of sweet sixteen, am! round and ro- j sy faced boys of all sizes, and such merry muk- \ iug, and such tea parties in the grass, such i ground and lofty tumbling of boys in the shade of the spreading oaks, such pert little airs of the elder ones—the chase for blue bottles, and the wild glee in leaping for butterflies, makes a life scene more beautiful, picturesque and heav enly than any which art can create, or even imagination furnish. How such scenes, Mr. Editor, carry us back to our youthful days! How we wish ourselves “young again !” With what life, spirit and zest we would all fight the great 1 nit tie of life over, and give up to pure, innocent enjoyment, the hours and days and years even, that each feels has now been spent, if not idly, almost uselessly. Two bright and particular stars have shot from our firmament to-day, and the place which knew them once shall know them no more for — months. The one was as happy and joyous in her youthful charms, as the other • was bril liant and intellectual, and rich in the possession of a much prized and most worthy lord and master. The usual mirthful hilarity has for once ceased for a moment, a calm quietness has settled down upon all, and each is apparently wondering whose turn it next is to say,—fare well ! But let who will, go from hence, the memories of the Powcllton House will long re main. The house itself will stand as a beacon, inviting the weary wanderer, or the tired ami over-taxed denizens of our cities to enter its wide portals—throw off the cares and ills of life, and make the old halls ring again with mu sic, mirth and gaiety, with the care-forgetting laugh, the passion-stirring dance, or the world ly and idle gossip of the more sober and sedate. When wc return again, we shall find the same gravelled walks and green fields of grass, the deep and dark glens through which we have wandered time aud again, and watched with enthusiastic delight the bold and fearless leaps from crag to crag of the “merry maids,” will again be sought and found. The hills which surround us, will sing the music of the spheres the live long Winter; but decked in their‘green mantle of Spring, they will again invite the weary and the worn to sit down un der their shadow and read in their history of greatness the evidences of a Creator. The sons and daughters of the “Sunny South,” will soon be wending their way to their own genial efime, while they of the North, will seek in their own excellent homes, those fireside enjoyments so pleasant and profitable, and so much loved. And if we should not all again meet to renew the acquaintance of a Summer solstice, we shall not soon forget the many happy hours spent around and within the walls of “the Powelton, or the agreeable evenings passed in its broad balconies, watching the full rising moon as she seemed to mount from behind those towering heights, and resting on the very head and front our patron saint, throw her rich glow of light loveliness o’er a world. “ST. ANTHONY.” [For the Empire State.] Dialogue. Fillmore. — You Democrats arc supporting a Federalist for President. Democrat. —How sir. Is Mr. Buchanan of that row ? F. —Yes sir, do you not recollect his July oration, when he belabored the conduct of the President in getting us into a war of the ‘Dem ocratic blood vein” story ? Now if I were you I would never vote for a man after that sort— D. —But sir, do you not know that Mr. Buchanan volunteered and fought the battles of that war as a private soldier, and stood up for his country. Was it not a patriot’s act ? Is this all your objection to him, and have you had such abhorance for such men all your days ? F. —l hever have nor never will vote for such a politician. D. —Now, my good fellow,-did you vote for Webster ? F. —Oh yes, he was the right sort. He was a Whig. J).—But let me read you his speech about that same war, when he denounced it as “who ly unrighteous, aud he would uot vote a cent to carry it on, if the British battered down the Capitol.” F. —Don’t read that; here are some Know Nothings—w ould believe I have been fooling them. • Good by, sir. D.—Such is the folly of this age. A Know Nothing leader objecting to a man for one thing and applauding another for a more daring of fence, because of liis name. F. —ls it not a pity that w r e are not repre sented in Congress ? then we should have jus tice done the South. Only think of such a great man as Brooks, of South Carolina—cast out because he caued an Abolitionist. Just look at the votes. D. —l have just been looking them over, and find that every Fillmore member, North, voted to expel Brooks; and the only traitorous vote from the South, was the right hand man of Fillmore, from Maryland. While every Demo crat North, except one from Ohio, stood up for your rights at the South. Do you mean you are not represented by the Democrats ? F. —l—l—didn’t say—what—what did—l say—sir—sir-—excuse me—sir. JO. —What do you think of a President who pardoned two negro theives out of the Peni tentiary, for stealing seventy Negroes from Southern widows, orphans, and owners, after they were tried, convicted and sent to the Pen itentiary. Would you think he would do for the South ? s * r - Do you take me for an ass, to suppose I would stand up to such traitors to the South ? F.—l suppose not, if you were‘rightly in formed upon the subject. Let me show you by his official act, that Mr. Fillmore was the Pres ident that turned those outlawed rebels loose to steal more slaves it they choose; thus insulting the South, and carrying the dear wish of his heart. 1 • I s * rue s ' r ’ If it is, give me your hand; while i pledge you a Southern heart never to soil the land of mv birth bv voting for such a man. D. I know you—honest and southern, and ail that was necessary for you to do right, was to get at the truth, like manv hundreds in our Slate. Bemccrat. —Du you know sir, for I under stand that you are a good Know Nothing, that ;Mr. lilimore voted for a petition, when in Con ,gress, to “Naturalize Negroes from foreign I COU.dries and make them citizens,” when he j would forbid such men as LaFavette, for 21 ! year.-’ ? j A tit/ic AiUntti*. —What ? You say Mr. ! Fiiimore in favor of letting Negroes from the j Old World becoming citizens. J knew he was |in lbr “Americans ruling America,” amt op posed to La-Fayctte and other patriots, from citizenship under 21 years, when they vote. — Good Lord ! mercy on us. O. —(Showing him the vote.) Now, rny good fellow, what think you of your candid ate ? A. N. —Think? Blast his Americanism. I’ll have him expelled. Citizenship—free Ne groes, and object to patriots. Blast him 1 F. —All sir, this Squatter doctrine of Buch anan’s. It’s ruining the country. D. —No sir, you are mistaken. What do you call that doctrine? Please define what you mean by it ? F. —Why, sir; allowing Irish, Scotch and Germans—-just fresh from their frec-soil homes, to vote in Kansas without naturalization.— That’s Squatter doctrine. That’s your iniqui tous Kansas bill that Mr. Buchanan is going for. J). —Well, my friend, you are on the wrong track. You learn this from politicians that are misleading you. You ought to read and learn what Squatter Sovereignty means before you charge so lustily on Mr. Buchanan. I sup posed that was naturalizationisiu. And you ought as a Know Nothing, to have learnt that it was the right to vote or not. There was the question. F. —l don’t core which way you have it, I won’t vote for such doctrines, for such men, no how. 1). —Then my good neighbor, you can’t vote for Mr. Fillmore. Here is the Washington Territorial bill, word for word, from which the Kansas bill was copied, approved by Mr. Fill more under oath. What say vou to that bill ? F. —Oh, you puzzle me. You make me tell stories. 1 didn’t know Fillmore had done so. I thought lie hadn’t done any thing—sir—sir excuse me. Mr. Fillmore’s Abolition Votes. The Journal of Congress show that Mr. Fillmore supported by his vote petitions— 1. To declare slaves free who had gone to sea with the consent of their masters, and to protect them in their freedom. 2. To repeal all laws and constitutional pro visions by which the Federal Government is bound to protect the institution of slavery. 3. Against the admission of any new State into the Union, whose Constitution at all tole rates slavery. 4. Against the annexation of Texas, solely on the ground that slavery existed there. 5. To abolish slavery in the District of Co lumbia, though the whole people of the Dis trict cherished the institution and never peti tioned for its abolition. 6. To prohibit the buying and selling of slaves in the District, and other Teritories of the Union. 7. He supported, by his vote, petitions to Congress to repeal the act of the Territory of Florida, to prevent the migration of free ne groes to the Territory. 8. lie voted in favor of petitions to natural ize and Tiuilx American citizens of Negri cs from every quarter cf the earth ! 9. lie voted in favor of a petition to receive negro ambassadors from the 13 lack Republic of Hayti. People of Georgia; there is a picture drawn from life. Fillmore, is now anti- Nebraska. Read and study the above, aud there can be no doubt as to the position a true Georgian should take.— So. Banner. Union of Fremont and Fiiimore. Washington, July 10. The Pennsylvania delegation are preparing a call for a Union Convention of Republicans,. Americans, and all other elements opposed to the Administration’s policy and the Cincinnati platform, to meet at Harrisburg on the second Wednesday in September, for the purpose of forming an electoral ticket which shall repre sent these interests fairly, and concentrate all efforts in one practical direction. This movement finds favor gcuerully, and in spires a confident hope of ultimate success. The recommendation is already signed by most of the experienced members. The Chronicle Sentinel, a Fillmore paper in Georgia, copies the above without comment not one word of indignation, and Fillmore on one Ticket. The Black Republi cans and Know Nothings, have already a con solidated State ticket in Pennsylvania. Geor gians, read and think upon this union of Fill more and nigger worshippers. Should Fill more even have an electoral ticket in Georgia? Never !— So Banner. * • The Eleventh Commandment. “I come, fellow citizens, from a free State Ike your own; I never owned or expected to own a slave. But other men, better than I am, and as good as any who are around me, have conscientiously held slaves. It is in vain to attack the motives of a whole community, when that community is one of the most civilized and refined portions of the inhabited world [Cries of good, good.] What do the South ask? To be let alone. Then do uot interfere with us; they do not want to interfere with us. All they ask is to be let alone But we have certain aspirants for public power and place who will uot learn the eleventh commandment “Mind your own buisness.’—[Laughter]” That speech was made at a political meeting in one of the Northern States, It would be superfluous to add that the meeting w’as a Democratic meeting. Remarks of this kind are made at none others. The speaker w’as Joseph Randall of Philadelphia. The place Tammany . Hall—the day the Ith of July*
