Fillmore Mectins on Saturday Jast.
According to previous notice. Messrs. Washing
ton I’oc and 11. l\ Trippe, addressed a Fillmore j
meeting on Saturday, 11th inst., in this place.
The crowd was small, when we take into consider
ation the distinguished position of the speakers
one being a candidate on the Fillmore Electoral
Ticket, the other a member of Congress. The re
nowned Ranse Wright, who was expected to be!
picsent. was among the missing, to the great d:s i
appointment of many who had come on purpose to i
see the “sui generis.” The meeting was opened by
a short speech from our townsman, Col. J. Q. A.
Alford, after which Col. Foe and Col. Trippe oc
cupied the remainder of the time in long and la
bored efforts. We only heard a small part of the
speech made by Col. Foe. lie pitched into the Kan
sas and Nebraska bill like “a thousand of brick.”
lie reiterated the sentiment of Mr. Fillmore, that
this Bill was “the Pander Usbox from which issued
all the political evils which now afflict the coun
try. He repeated this language with great force
and emphasis, so that no doubt might be left on
*.he minds of his hearers as to his views of the Kan
sas and Nebraska Bill. It is to be hoped that the
Fillmore men of the Third Congressional District
will no more make pretensions to friendship for
this measure, when their representative on the
Electoral 1 icket. denounces it in such bitter terms.
M e learn from others that Col. Toe asserted in the
course of his remarks, that ‘any man who changed
his political opinions after he attains to the age of
thirty years, is either a Knave or a Fool.” This
3s the substance of his remarks as reported to us.
He evidently intended this as a fling at Messrs.
Toombs and Stephens, and their old Whig asso
ciates, who are now acting with the Democratic
Party. These gentlemen have been branded
throughout the State as changelings and traitors
by Col. Poe's political associate?. We wonder
how his colleague, Bans Wright, and other old
Democrats who are now fighting the Democracy,
they professed once so much to love, will like to
be set down as “Knaves or Fools?” Many of!
them quit the Democratic Party, and affiliated |
with the Know Nothing Party aftet they passed
Col. Poes line thirty years. Apply this rule to
Air. Fillmore, and it leaves him in a bad category.
Look at his Lrie Letter, with the abominable ab
olition doctrines it contains! Has Mr. Fillmore
never changed from these ? Some of his Southern
supporters say he has. If he has, he is either a
-Knave or a tool, according to Col. Poe’s doc
trine. lake either hern of the dilemma, and ho is
unworthy oi support from either quarter ; and if
he has never changed, he certainly is unworthy of
the support of any true Southern man. Take Mr.
J oe s rule in any shape or form, and it leaves his
friends in a bad predicament. But in these days
of political degeneracy, the Know Nothings can
get along with such absurdities without the slight
est inconvenience. Ixit them rip ! The Ides of
November are near at hand. Mcnc, Menc Tekcl !
‘lbat Absurd Preposition again.
The Fillmoie Party are constantly ringing into
the cars of the .Southern People, that Mr. Buchan*
n cannot be elected, and that his friends in the
•South ought to abandon him and take up Air.
f- illninre. Notwithstanding the folly and absurdi
ty of this proposition have been a thousand times
exposed, they still persist in harping upon it. If
Mr. Buchanan was out of the way, and his friends
were all to go over to Fillmore in the Southern
States, he could only carry the fifteen Southern
States. 1 hougu his friends arc boasting of his
strength in the Northern States, yet it is evident
that his star is on the wane in that region, and the
process of fusion between his friends and those of
Fremont is daily going on. And how could the
Democratic Party affiliate with the Northern Fill
inorcites ! On the main practical issue now before
the country —the Kansas and Nebraska Bill—Mr. I
Fillmore's Northern Party are in affiliation with !
the Black Republican Party, and in direct anta- j
gonism to the Democratic Party, North and South, j
Hov then cm Democrats and Northern Fillmore i
men co-operate ? Besides, it would be an act of ;
the basest ingratitude on the part of the Southern ‘.
Democracy, to abandon Mr. Buchanan, and his
Northern supporters, who are fighting our battles
against the combined forces of Fremont and Fill
more. Rather than be guilty of such base ingrati- j
tude, wc would perish.

Kemper Democrat.
Wc received last week the first number of u pa
per bearing the above soubriquet, edited by Gar
rett, Griffin Stovall arid published in the town
of DeKalb. Kemper county, Miss. It hangs out
at its mast head, the names of Buchanan and
Breckinridge, for President and V ice President
of the United States. We opine that the ‘Griffin’
whose name is connected with it, is our old friend
John, for many years a resident of this city, and
for some time associate editor of the Georgia Jef
fersonian. Ifthisbcso, we greet you brother
John. Give us your paw old fell we wish you
and your enterprise great success.
The Omens.
The election held on Monday 13th inst, indicate
the success of the Democratic party in the States
of Delaware, Connecticut and Florida. The
omens are right, and give grounds for increased
confidence in the election of Buck and Breck.

Gen. Pierce at Goncord.
The President of the United States, paid a re
cent visit to his home at Concord, New Hampshire.
Notwithstanding the hostile opposition of Aboli-
tion Fanatics, his reception was highly compla
mentary. It is reported that 12,000 of his fellow
citizens, coming from different parts of his native
State, greeted his arrival among those who had
known him from his boyhood to his riper manhood.
Ilis speech on that occasion was a masterly piece
of oratory, pathetic, affectionate, and patriotic,
breathing the spirit of an ardent attachment to
home and friends, and ofa nationality ofsentiment,
which embraced the whole Union in its grasp It
was evident that it came swelling up with power
ful emotions from the heart and reaching the hearts
o* those to whom it was addressed. A few months
and Franklid Fierce, will retire from the highest
political position known to our government, and
seek repose from the storms and tempests of politi
cai strife. He will carry with him the affections
and good wishes of every true conservative friend
j of the country, North, South, East, and West.
; And when the base and corrupt, slanderers, who
have villified and execrated him,
“Shall go down to the vile dust whence they spnum,
Unwept, unhonored, and ansoney”
posterity appreciating the wisdom of his measures,
the honesty of his purposes, and the purity of mo
! tives, will rise up and do justice to his memory.
Another Gun Spiked.
At the late Mass Meeting in Atlanta, it was
currently reported, and publicly proclaimed from
the rostrum that Charles J. Jenkins, hod recants
the opinions expressed by him in his previous let
ter. and in a few days would be out in another
letter containing that recantation, anti declaring
his intentions to vote for Mr. Fillmore. The ru
; mor was taken up. by a portion of the Know No
thing press, and spread through the country. ’ n
fact, you might hear it at every corner of the street,
that Jenkins had changed back. “But behold
what a day may bring forth.” Speedily that let
ter came, but it was any tiling else, but what the ‘
K. Ns. wanted to see. It contained a flat contra
diction of the assertions which had been so reckless
ly made, in reference to his having changed k’s posi
tion. Thus another gun, which they had pointed
at the Democratic ranks, has been spiked, and the
perpetrators of this false rumor put to shame. Mr
Jenkins reiterates his intention of voting for Buch- 1
anan, and declares that he looks upon Mr. Fill-!
more’s prospects as ivorsc than when his first letter I
was written. The enemies of Mr. Buchanan are
put to desperate shifts to gull the people into the j
support of their candidate, and their desperation
seems to have become even more desperate since
the appearencc of the letters of Messrs Jenkins I
and Nisbet. This last letter of Mr. J. fills up the j
measure of their mi :ery and we are at a loss to
conceive, what move they will make next. Head

i American and Hindi Republican Fu
sion in Massachusetts.
Boston, Oct, 3. |
The good understanding and concert of action j
between the Republicans and Americans of Massa- j
chusetts continue unbroken. The American mem- j
bers ol the Electoral ticket have published letters 1
of acceptance pledgilig themselves to vote for Fre- j
mont and Dayton. Os the members of Congress,!
.Messrs. Buffington, Com ins, Burlingame, Banks, i
Knapp and Chaffee have been renominated by both
parties, in cases most u lanimously, and where not
unanimously with only two or three votes in oppo
sition.
| The above we clip from the Saw Georgian <fc
j Journal of the 10th inst. Every mail brings us
some such intelligence from the Northern States.!
; How Mr. Fillmore’s friends expect to elect him
; Fresident of the United States, with such a State
things staring them in the face we are at a loss to j
determine. Ilis party is being swallowed up by |
the Black Republican party, throughout the free |
States. Indeed so strong are the affinities of tlv 1
Fillmore and Fremont men in that region, that the
fusion of the two seems inevitable. “ Descensus
Avernofacilis,” may well be applied to the North j
Americans, when we consider their natural procliv j
ities to Black Republicanism. How Southern. j
Know Nothings can persist in their affiliation with |
a party consisting of such materials, seems strange ■
and incomprehensible to us. A blind infatuation i
appears to be carrying them on in their mad ea-1
reer to the very brink of ruin. No wonder that;
such men as Jenkins and Nisbet, refuse to act with j
a party pursuing such a course. Hundreds of!
others will no doubt follow their example before
the day of the election.
By special request we make the statement,
after consultation with the author of the article
published in our paper some time ago in which
the name of Geo. A. Cunningham, of Pike county
was used in Brackets, that no slur or insinuation
was intended by the author in the use of Lis name.
We believe he states the truth. There certainly
was no intention ou our part to do Mr. O. injustice
and wc hope he will be satisfied with the expiuna.
tion.
Business in Griffin.
Notwithstanding the multiplied diasters of the
present crop year, the business of our place opens j
most encouragingly. For several weeks past our !
principal streets have been thronged with carts
and wagons, loaded with cotton, and our cotton
buyers and merchants have been exceedingly busy.
The supplies of goods of every description, are am
ple, and sold on as good terms as any other mar
ket in the .State, all things being considered. We
can venture to boast of the character of our mer
chants, who are generally men of the highest integ
rity, and unquestionable responsibility. Our cot
ton market is to a very great extent, free from
those tricks and stratagems designed to gull and
swindle the planter, which too often prevail to a
very great extent in other markets. From a con
nection of twelve years with the Ware-house busi
ness in this place, wc are prepared to speak advi
sedly upon this point. And besides, our cotton
market is notorious for paying the highest prices of
any other in the interior, all things being equal.—*
Among the improvements in our money facilities,
we are pleased to learn that the Merchants’ and
Planters’ Bank, of Savannah, have established an
Agency in this city. It is a good Bank, and its
gentlemanly and accommodating Agent, Col. W.
R. Phillips, will no doubt make it useful and bene
ficial to our people, and profitable to the Parent
Institution.
Griffin Light Guards.
M e had the pleasure ot witnessing the manco
-1 vrin ff *-bi 9 young but thriving companay on
the occasion of their first drill at the company’s
room on New Orleans street Saturday night last.
For new beginners, we thought some of their evo
lutions were fine, and highly creditable to their
commanding officer, Capt. S. W. Mangham, who
seems to be perfectly at home. We are not only
fa\ orable to the company, but hope they may yet
be an ornament to the City, composed as it is, of
many of our best young men, who, should their
services ever bo needed in the defence of their
country, would shoulder arms, and “off to the
wars at a moments warning. Go ahead young
men : Don’t let trifles impede your progress. It
may be rather an up-hill business at first, but re
member
“That the race is not always to him who swiftest runs,
Or the battle to that people whojshoot with the longest guns.”

Fine Workmanship.
We were shown a few days since, by C'ol Win.
R. Phillips, a fine razor, stamped with the name
of A. Porter,Griffin,and doubtless the manufacture
of that gentleman. The Colonel received it from
some unknown person through the post office, and
we presume it was intended as n present. The on
ly regret we feel about the matter is, that it was
not accompanied by another, directed to ourself.
It was of the finest style and finish, and of the purest
metal. This specimen of mechanism is highly
creditable, to the manufacturer-, as well as to our
city, and we wish the Colonel many happy and
pleasant shaves with,his new razor.

For the Empire State.
Judge Gaulding : Suffer an humble individual,
not known in the crowd, to make a suggestion in
your next. My words shall be few, always few on
any subject, for, to use a homely but true phrase,
too much pudding will choke a dog. Now-a-days,
thousands of tailless bipeds throughout our land,
are choked by too much pudding thrown to them
by their political stulfcrs, day and night, in all
sorts of places. The poor animals are gorged to
nausea, and are vomiting up the political and mo
ral trash, wherever you may see or meet them.—
Probably this my olio podrido is equally unpalata
ble. But. to my suggestion. My fellow-citizens
seem not to know how to use their country’s ilag.
Let those, who are now using it, take notice. Jn
every fort, fortress, fortification, garrison, military
station, on every ship of war, of the United Slates,
the flag of the Union, our country's flag, the glori
ous American flag, full of interesting emblems, is
run up at sunrise at the signal of the morning gun
with the long roll of the drum, ft is hauled down
at sunset with like ceremonies. On the dome of
the Capitol it signalises the daily session and ad-1
journment of Congress, in the field of battle it j
directs the movements of our armies. In peace, it |
proclaims to all people of every land, over every i
sea, our power, our freedom, our friendship, our
protection of the oppressed and unfortunate, who I
may come under its folds. Then, if factions, par-!
ties and societies must have flags, make for them- i
selves banners, indicating their object, purposes, j
policy and principles Jt is painful to one who, in j
the second war ol Independence, marched and I
fought lor our whole country, both free and slave j
States, North, South, Fast and West, to see the j
flag ol our common e-.n.niry and serrated to invidious j
purposes. I had rather see it. as I have seen it, |
perforated with t ails, and fallen into the duet in j
the death struggle with a foreign foe, in defence of j
our rights Y\ hat is it now ‘i The flag of strife, ,
sectionalism, partvisin, of separation, of disunion, ■
of civil war m our once happy and united land.— i
Oh what a prostration, my countrymen ! W hat a j
humihal ;•••>• of the In art ot the patriot ! Qnousque, 1

Another Slander Raided.
YVc clip the following from the Washington
Evening Star :
“ 1 ho Memphis Eagle learns from a gentle
man of Texas, that the German and other for
eigners of the Western part of that State, have,
nominated a Fremont Electoral ticket.”
We have only to say that there is not a word
of truth in the whole of the above.
The Gonzales Enquirer is the only paper to
our knowledge, which has circulated an ac
count ol a Fremont meeting, but in its next is
sue, we found the following :
“Al.i. a Hoax.— We published a rumor last
week to the efiect, that “the German citizens
of DeY\ itt county had called a meeting of their
Club, and appointed a Fremont electoral tick
et.’ It gives us pleasure to state now on the
authority of a gentleman of veracity, who re
sides in De'A itt county, that the above rumor
jisad a hoax—a. regular ‘sell I —gotten up
merely to afford the green ’lies something to
talk about.”
> £ he Memphis Engle has been hoaxed badly.
Rest assured whenever these sort of stories are i
told about the Germans of Texas, that they |
are false. ‘Fhe Germans go in a body fori
Buchanan and Breckenridge, and are sound on
the Southern question.

search omong our exchanges we have at last
found a paragraph from that paper, on which
this new ielution of the Tv. N’s. is based,
is the Pennsylvanian’s statement that lie is:
about to withdraw and the way he will do it.

: Will Mr Buchanan Withdraw —For a sat
j reply to this oft reiterated interroga
tory, the pious editor of the Evening Bulleten,
ior some days past has evidently been on the
‘anxious bench.’ Again and again is the ques
tion asked, and answer demanded. If it be
1 ai D reliel to the e it or of that journal, who

| his question in the affirmative. Mr. Buchanan
does intei-d to “withdraw” In obedience to
the eel! of the American people, on the 4th of
March, in lS4 t , it is his purpose to‘withdraw*
from his calm and peaceful retreat at Wheat
land, to take possession of the White House,
at Washington, in the capacity of President
of toe United Mates. This is the only with

WKtrict, and while it is true that some of the
i counties in it are badly demoralized, politically,
1 !t by no means half so bad as vou and all the
rest of us were told. There is a bold, active, and
uetennieed Democratic party in every part of
that “black district.” The Republicans will
lien get the half of what they claim in it’ but
we can give them the whole'of it, and still beat
them lhe counties on the Delaware river
Nort mmpton Pike, Carbon, Lehigh
tk'hulkill, Bucks, Rerls, Moutgmncrv, and Del
awero, will roll up such majorities as will swamp
the North aud West, if it. were twice as bad.
Berks county alone will overbalance Wilmot’g
whole district, while Judge Packcrk’s district
will neutralize the whole of the rest of their
northern and northwestern strength. The rest
of the Mate, except Alleghany county, is ours.
The oppsition lose cvewhcrc in the South, and
in the centre much more than we do in the
North. The old Whig comities of Philadelphia
Chester, Lancaster, Lebanon, Adams, Franklin,
Somerset, Blair, and Huntingdon, will not give
them half their oldtime majorities, whilean the
democratic counties East and South, our ma
jorities will be swelled largely.
Our closest and most prudent calculators put
otu majority in Philadelphia at five thousand.
Our majority in the State will be from seven
thousand five hundred to ten thousand.—-d Sr.
