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. HkT’ WboOp! Hooray for Buck and Brccb. Rail Road Arrangements. A special train will leave Macon at 1 o’clock on the morning of the 17th inst. for Atlanta: pass Forsyth at 2,- 30; Barnesville 3,+30; Qr’ffin 4,-45; Jonesboro 6,-30; and arrive ia Atlanta 7 ,->3O. — lieturning, leave Atlanta at 6 P. M. on Saturday 18th and arrive in Macon at lA. M. Tickets half price both ways. This is for the accommoda tion of those wjshing to attend the democratic Mass Meeting at Atlanta. 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 Mr. Jenkin's letter to be found on our first page. 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. | ( slots ciitiiiiiißs N. ii A ppeint mesats.

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 !

After diliio-eut search omong our exchanges we have at last found a paragraph from that paper, on which this new ielution of the Tv.

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. Holloways Pills are ait excellent samily raediciue, and are recommend to all suffer ers from diseas of the Liver and stomach.
