The gathering of the Democrats in Atlanta, on Friday and Saturday, 17th and 18th inst., was in deed and iu truth a grand demonstration The ad vance guard arrived on Thursday evening. On Friday morning, the Railroad Train's from QYcry direction poured in their thousands. Every mode of conveyance imaginable, carts, wagons, buggies, carriages, horses, contributed to swell the crowd- On Friday night, an immense torch light pioces sion was formed, and a number of buildings hand somely illuminated. On Saturday, the assembly received vast aug mentations—banners of every conceivable style, with appropriate devices and mottoes, many of them surmounted by Buck’s horns, were carried iri the procession. The numbers were variously es timated from 10 to 20,000. AVe can form no esti mate ourself. AVe can only say, “it was a great multitude which no man could number.” The vast assemblage was addressed from time to time, by Messrs. Ben. Yancy, Saffold, Russell, Cartrell, ITarjier, A. If. Stephens, 11. Warner, Toombs, AVm. L. Yancy 7 , of Ala., McCoy, of Ala., and oth ers. The prize banner was awarded to the New ton county delegation. It was presented by Miss irteele, accompanied with a beautiful address, and responded to, on behalf of the Newton Delegation, mo.-'t eloquently, by Jefferson Lamar, Esq. A •quendid Barbecue was prepared for the occasiou, and all freely invited to partake. The occasion was iudeed a grand political jubilee, and foreshad ows 20,000 majority for Buck and Breck in Geor gia. Mr. Stephens is represented as having said it was the largest assembly he had ever addressed in Georgia. Hurrah ! Hurrah! Hurrah 1! for the un terrified Democracy of Georgia. The Elections.—Glorious News !! The elections which have been held in several States since the commencement of the present month, show most gratifying results for the Dem ocratic Party. The election for Governor, a 34em ber of Congress, and members of the Legislature, was held iu Florida, on the 4th inst. The Demo crats have swept the State —Governoi:, Congress man and a majority in both branches of the Legis lature. On Monday, 14th inst., elections were held in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana. In Penn ylvania the Democracy had to eortend against a fusion of the Fremont and Fillmore parties; but it was of no avail. The Democratic party elected their State Officers by a, majority of four or five thousand —16 Members of Congress, (a gain of 10) and a majority of the State Legislature. Iu Indi ana, Willard (Dem..) is elected Governor by 10> <>oo majority—B out of 11 Members of Congress lected are Democrats, (a gain ol 6.) In Ohio* though beaten for Governor, the Democrats have elected 8 Members of Congress which is a gain of 8. “Thus brightly breaks the morn.” Pennsyl vania was considere*d the great battle ground upon which the present Presidential contest was to be decided. “A\ r E have met the enemy and they are OCRS !” This election establishes the certainty of Mr. Buchanan’s election in November. Push on the column, friends of the Constitution 1 a glo rious victory awaits you. Farewell Samuel! Farewell Fillmore! a long farewell to ail your ex. pec ted greatness ! !! A Word to Old Jackson Men. Attempts have been made in certain quarters to enlist the old friends and admirers of Gen. Jack son in behalf of the Know Nothing Party. The most glaring of these, is the nomination of Andrew J. Done Ison for the Vice Presidency. The afore said Andrew J. was for many years the protege of the old General. Andy was the nephew of the Geucral’s wife, and on that account the old hero lclt a sympathy for the boy’s welfare, which ptompted him to throw many facilities in his way, •to make a great man of him, if possible. But all his efforts were in vain. The uephew-in-law never rose above mediocrity, and received, on account of Ida relationship to Gen. Jackson, more honors and offices than his talents or his services ever merited. But Know Nothingism has a magic power to swell the dimensions of small politicians, and to make littkwmen great. Hence Andy Ilonelson is to be made V ice President, prehaps. The object of bis nomination was to gull the old Jackson men into the support of Fillmore and the Know Noth ing Parly. AVill they be thus gulled ? AVe pre sume not. But there may be a few weak enough lo be ensnared by this flimsy trick, and with such wc have a word. AVe would ask wherein now does Andrew J.OoneUon advocate the principles of his venerable relative and benefactor ? He has taken an oath to proscribe naturalized foreigners, both by refusing to vote for, or appoint them to office, as well as to remove all such from office, should he ever have the power to do so. And this he has done, knowing that Gen. Jackson’s father, and Gen. Jackson s brothers were natives of Ire land. And who is this same Audy supporting for President, together with hi* Know Nothing Par ty ? Millard Fillmore, who was always in opposi tion to Gen. Jackson and his policy ? And who is Andy and bis associates making war upon ? James Buchanan, the long tried {riend of Old Hick ory, one who stood by him in ail the vicissitudes of bis political fortunes, whose tongue was ever el oquent in the advocacy of his administration, and the defence of bis governmental policy. AVhen the old Chief with the iron will “took the responsi bility” to thrust himself in the breach, and save the country from bleated monopolies, many of bis j best friends and most ardent admirers, stood | aghast at wl.at they conceived to be the rashness of the man, and some of them quailed and faltered before the opposition arrayed against him, and even went over to his enemies, then James Buchan an stood firm, and never flagged in the support of his gallant friend, until his favorite measures had ‘ been permanently engrafted upon the policy of the | Government. And will you, old Jackson men, i vote against such a man, and in favor of Millard Fillmore? Geptainjy you cannot-—you will not ! Your beloved old chief would turn in his coffin at! the perpetration of such a deed : yea, arise, it be, from his grave and openly rebuke you for your ingratitude. Why they oppose the repeal of the Missouri Restriction. It would be difficult for any Southern man to answer the above Interrogatory to She satisfaction of any impartial mind. The Missouri Restriction, it is known, had been in existence for more than thirty years. It was’a fraud upon the South when it was passed, and submission to it was the result of an ardent love for the union, which dwelt in the bosoms of the Southern people. But long acquics enee in a palpable wrong, can never make it right- Jhe repeal ot this odious measure, says Mr. Fid more, was a boon offered by the North,'voluntari ly, to the South, and in the view of a reasonable man, it would have seemed folly, yea madness, to j •have refused it. Yet Mr. Fillmore is violently op- ! posed lo it; his party, en masse, iu U* e p R . t . v UI . t . s arc opposed to the rep.;, t “,,, * Ute South h. Te declared tkmsclvos to uo. ■ s ic'it'cu strange and incouiprelteiisihlu. An u ; of gross injustice Ims been borne by a people w.ib patience tor thirty-five years, and when resident.,, is offered, they spurn it from them with appau-i.i loathing and disgust. Yea, more, the \ ciy ma„ who was most active iu procuring iur ,r. ■„> u, “boon,” is denounced by those to whom n t , sered, as a traitor, an Arnold, and t;,e “ self pronounced a humbug and a s.’ , ungrateful, how strange and By the Missouri Restriction , ... it'*... ry was prohibited in ail that part oi l . territory North of the parallel oi bO 4 n r o ~.i thirty minutes. This, be it remunbeivu, v.u to that time slave territory. By the inn rte:,.. ,u of Congress, the South was excluded from an t„ai. vast region of country lying above the aforesaid line. Slavery could never exist there as long as this restriction remained iu force. It was loreverj lost to the bouth. But by the late repeal of liiis measure, slavery mav_ be lawfully carried there,: tihd Slave States may be formed, If the people so j will it. The Territory of Kansas lies North of the Missouri line, and under the act ol 1821, never could by any possibility be made a Slave estate, if every slaveholder in the Union had desired to move there. But since the Restriction has been removed, slaves may be lawfully carried and held there, and Kansas may be made a Slave State, it the people so determine when forming their consti tution. The question, hence, recurs, why should any slave holder oppose it ? and echo answers, why! 1 he icason assigned, is, that it has brought agita tion upon the country. Suppose it has. Shall a man tr a community forbear to assert and maiu ta.u their rights, because their adversui ies wiil kick up a fuss about it? Let this principle prevail,and the weak would ever be at the mercy of the power kfu I—might would iu all cases make right, and in justice, oppression and anarchy pervade the land. Away with such doctrine. It is only suited to serfs and vassals, and he who believes it, is a fit subject to be made a slave himself. A False Report. Fillmore iu Pennsylvana. A charge has beeu made that some of the Fill more Electors were for Fremont, or would vote for him if they were chosen. This charge is fully met and as flatly contradicted in the annexed letter of Hon. Andrew Stewart, to a gentleman of Virginia Mr. Stewart, it will be remembered, was a Cabi net officer a few years ago, and is one of the most hono-able and reliable politicians in the Union; he is himself at the head of the Fillmore Eleetoral tick et. Umontown, Fa. Sept, 20. Dear Sir :—l hasten to say that there is not one word of truth in the allegation that the Fillmore and Fremont parties have united. Two'of the Electors appointed on the Fillmore electoral ticket were discovered to be favorable to Fremont. They have, therefore beeu stricken off, and true men sub stituted. Buchanan is losing ground daily, and at our Oc tober election it is now my opinion his party will be beaten 50,000 votes. If so, he will be abandon ed, and his party will go for Fillmore, to defeat Fremont. The Buchanan and Fremont men are bitterly hostile, and both courting the Americans. After the election, the defeated party will unite with us to defeat the other. You see, then, the importance of a decisive result in October. If it should appear that Buchanan can carry no North ern State, will not the South give him up and go for Fillmore, as the only means of defeating Fre mont? What are your prospects in Virginia? Yours respectfully, ANDREW STEWART. The above precious morceau we clip from the Macon Journal & Messenger of last week I’his is a fair specimen of the game of Brag, which the Fillmore pressed and leaders have been playing during the present campaign. Having no s•! and political capitol to operate upon, they have forced to resort to every sort of kiting i tc their bankrupt political fortunes. FIF-i A ;-u v - SANI) majority, for the Fusiouists in Peunsy v.- niaindeed! A slight mistake of a littl* ovi ifijty thousand ! AVell that will do pretty well for a Know Nothing. AVhat reliance can now be plac ed in the assertions of these men, iu reference to Mr. Fillmore’s boasted strength, any where? They talk about Buchanan’s being withdrawn, to give place to Fillmore. AA’liy and wherefore? Because a Union of the Fremont and Fillmore parties, may be too strong for old Buck. This would be a beautiful state of things. The friends of Fillmore at the North, unite with our enemies to crush our friends, and then we must join them to beat their allies, the Fremouters. Why the uct would be base and infamous in the highest degree. But we expect to hear no more of this The late elec tion proves that old Buck is able to beat both sac tions united, without any help froji cither, ,ud he will do it. Gov. Johnson ami Ex-Gov. Cobb. These distinguished Georgians have much cause tor gratification at the result of the late elections in Pennsyluania and Indiana. Gov. Johnson has for some time, beeu laboring in Pennsylvania, and Ex-Gov. Cobb both in Pennsylvania and Indiana, in behalf of the Democratic Party. The great triumphs achieved in those States, prove that their labore-have not been in vain. Georgia may well be proud of ber distinguished sons. • Mr. Foe’s Speeds. The American Union of last week, suggests the propriety of our correcting a statement made by us in our reoiarks on Mr. Poe’s.speech made iu this place on Saturday 11th inst! AVe represented him as having said that “any man who changed his politica l opinions after he was 30 years old, was either a knave or a fool.” This we learned from those who heard it.

In this State, it seems, the Democratic Party had no opposition iu the late election.-,..8r00k5, Keitt, McQueen, Boyce and Orr, have been re elect ed. Miles is elected over Gadsden and Cunning ham, all Democrats, in the Charleston District. K As goes Savannah so goes the State.” j The above sentence lias become an axiom in the State of Georgia, although, like most axi oms, it occasionally fails of verification. Last year, for instance, Mr. Anderson beat Dr. Scri veu for the Mayoralty of Savannah 14 votes, while Gov. Johnson beat Judge Andrews about 11,000 Appearances indicate that the saying will come nearer the truth this year, if the elec tions do not show that but the half is j it, and that the proposition wilftJTT tllllffllWn i the result. A\ r e may therefore calculate as fol- j lows : At the recent municipal election in Sa- i vannah, on the loth iust., the average majority | in favor of the Democratic Ticket was 174 and I a half, a gain on the previous election of 188, : the fraction off, in a ballot of 2,070 votes.— Now should the whole State in the next Presi-! dential Election cast 95,000 votes, and the av-! erage gain equal that of Savannah throughout j the State, it will give the Democratic Ticket a 1 majority of B,GOO ; but should the gain throughout the State be equal to the-average gai:- of Johnson over the Savannah vote of last year, added to the Savannah gain of this year over the last, it will be nearly 20,000 inajoTtty, supposing Overby’s vote of last year to be equally divided between Buchanan and Fill- , more iu November next. Stand from under, Messrs. Know Nothings. ■ For the Empire State. Col. James N. Ramsey’s Speech in Hamilton, Ga. s Mr. Editor : I had the pleasure of listening to one of the best speeches! have heard.during tne canvass, from our talented Elector vl the thud district, on the 14th inst. There was a i good audience desirous of hearing the speech, and from tiie frequent bursts of applause which were elicited by the eloquence of. the speaker, | an impartial judge would have decided that his ! sentiments were well received. Col. Ramsey is well posted upon the great questions involved l iu the canvass. His comprehensive mind is ca- ; pacious enough to weigh every point in the sev- j oral platforms, and present the true merits of j each subject to the constituents of his electoral I district, and the citizens generally of his beloved! South. lie is a champion worthy.of every man’s . steel. He is battling for tlie South ; he is not Jin apologist for the North ; lie is uot a scoes-1 siomst per se, but is endeavoring to warn uis j lehow-u.ouutmimn of the “ mult with storms of disaster To the South, j ; ociieve tnat he would suffer the doom of an imnneit, rather than submit to the iron yoke i our Northern brethren are preparing for our necks. He draws no fancy pictures to allure men to the support of Buchanan and Breckin ridge, but lays the subject before ..them in a masterly, statesmanlike style, and demonstrates each proposition in a cogent, logical manner. The Kansas Bill was taken ap and discussed iu his own happy, eloquent style, equal to the efforts of any of our gifted Statesmen. There is no squatter sovereignty in it. The citizens of the Territory have the right to settle their own domestic affairs when they nleet iff Con vention to form a State Constitution. If they wish to incorporate slavery in it, it is at their option ;if uot, it is theirs to decide. It would be unconstitutional for .Coug-ress to legislate slavery into a State as well as to restrict it. Slaves are property —not the equals of freemen, but their dependents, their property to’dispose of, as much as the looms or spinning knUY sos Northerners, who arc flocking int<L#YqQPsX;- tiou of each Territory, The Constitution is bound to protect them in their severairigidvs. Squatter sovereignty is the exercise of .sover eign power in a Territory nob-granted by Con gress, iu the formation of a State Constitution, as wus the case in the formation of the Stfite Constitution of California, the only instance of squatter sovereignty on record in our Govern ment. Congress has passed this bill for the or ganization of the Territories of Kansas and Ne braska. Southerners can go there (a* they have already gone) with their slaves, and hold them. When .the citizens thereof form their State Constitution, then it is their legitimate right to decide upon the great subject of slave ry. The Washington Territory bill was pre cisely the same in substance, as regards the alien suffrage feature, and with the exception that the Kansas bill recognises the right of the citizens to settle the question of slavery, thereby giving the South a fair and equal showing by migra ting thither with their slaves, whereas, the Washington bill groans under the oppressive weight of the obnoxious Wihnot Proviso. What better a bill could we desire ?- The Legislature of Georgia of 1858 and 1854 endorsed the bill. Will not Georgia stand up : to their votes? — The Missouri Compromise, another name for the Wilmot Proviso , is repealed by the passage of the bill,therefore the South is equal with the North. The South gained what the North lost by the Compromise measures of 1850—nothing, abso lutely noth ng—even the Texas Territory was shorn of part of its space by the line of 36 deg. j 30 min. In giving the right to the Territories , to regulate their own domestic institutions (their inherent right) the Missouri Touchstone was again applied, and during the squabble Cal ifornia, the El dorado of the West, was smug gled into the Union with a free Constitution, denied even the right of the latitudinous pro visions of the same Compromise. The slave trade was abolished in the District of Columbia, to suit the fastidious tastes of our Northern b.ethren, who, though familiar with the starving tree negro of the (u:u deaf to their en treaties rov relief ; yet, they could not bear to. see a slave sold into bondage, to a merciful master, a kind protecter and guardian. The fugitive slave law waS a concession of right which is implied in the rights of persons, there fore it stands inly in the shadoi ■ of • nr me as a dead letter in a practical sense. 1 r.

They threatened v - olence to liis person in his own State, but stood up like a man and defied them. After discussing this question of the Nash ville Convention, Col. Ramsey exposed Mr. Fillmore’s record, and denounced him as an un sound man. The Erie letter had never been retracted, with its vile attacks and menac-: against our peculiar institutions. The At! • ton Resolutions are still upon record. Tin :• tacks upon our Flag were not matin a pn ■ , manner. The denunciation of the Cid ■ and; busters, as they were called, is still in ry of Southerners. The blood of is still reeking upon the soil of Cuba ...uu civ. 1 from , the ground as Abel’s.

Ramsey’s speech, but fear ; I may encroach upon your space. The Know ; Nothings generally came in for their share of | castigation ; let them escape t o the mountains or surrender, for Sampson never felled Philis ! tines with a stronger arm or a better will than the Col. strikes down the disbanded followers of Sam, with his ponderous battle-axe or scathing cimetar. His eulogisto upon Buchanan was eloquent in the superlative degree. He closed his speech by an appeal to the citizens of G eorgia to come iup to their support and save the country from | destruction. Hoping that your readers may all hear Col I R. before the campaign closes, I must draw to ! a close bv wishing that Georgia may remain i firm to her integrity and patriotism, and never | yield to the dominion of submissionists, but j stick firm to her true Southern sentiments, j “ Equality iu the Union, or independence out |of it.” Truly, your co-worker, FIDES. Infamous Trick, of the Enemy! As usual with them just on the heel of acan vass, the unscrupulous opponents of the Demo cracy are resorting to the basest misrepresenta tions and lies to decieve honest voters on the day of election. One of the most insidious we have lately seen we will now briefly expose. We find in the advertising columns of the Mo bile Tribune, an article front the i ahiinore Clipper, in which, alter a great deal of twaddle, it is nnhlushinjjly asserted that Mr. Buchanan will withdraw from the Presidential canvass! It even wades still deeper into lying, by further asserting that the Philidelphia Pennsylvanian, thv great organ of the Democracy 1 the Key stone State “says that it speaks by authority in stating that Mr Buchanan does intend to withdraw.” This infamous lie of this more in famous K. N. paper, the Clipper, was hatched and set afloat several we ks ago, a >d received its quietus at once —the P n s lvauian nailing it to the counter, and positively stating, in ste id of what is above imput ed to it. that it spoke by ‘authority in stating tL.t M .

But what comfort In S ti> eru N. K’a can derive from their success in Baltimore, we can’t sett. Baltimore :s vi ry generally considered to be as much opp *ed u* Southern interests as even old Boston.

Fillmore Mass Meeting at Montgomery Montgomery, Ala., Oct. 15.—The Fillmore Mass Meeting here to-day is a signal failure. About two thousand at the stand. For the Empire State. The Teacher. There is perhaps no one who has as much to do in promoting the happiness of the human family, as the Teacher, and who Is as little ap preciate and. How frequently we hear it remark ed, “his task is an easy one, and yet his prices are high.” These rernaks are of frequent oc currence, but I will venture to assert that those who make them, are not capable of thinking deeply on any subject. No one who can exer cise reason and judgment, and who is capable of weighing a subject as it should be weighed, will utter such expressions, for surely every one know's that there is no occupation more ardu ous than that of the Teacher. Do those who make such remarks ever think that while they are at rest, the Teacher is at work ? If not employed in School, his mind must ever be at work, studying and contriving what is best to be done with some wayward and disobedient one, or in making plans for the future. Alas ! they know not that many a Teacher’s face is becoming furrowed, and liis head turning grey, before he has passed the summer of life, be cause of excessive mental toil. They think not that he is form:. ? the characters of many who will be ornaments In the circle iu which they may move, who but fru* him would be mere drones in the great bee-fur*’ of mankind. It is also frequently the ease that, the Teacher exer cises greater influence over the child than the parent. Ts yon believe not this, go ask some great and good man, and he rilJ perhaps tell you that his first lesions in truth were learned from his Teacher. Ask that moral man, and he will tell you that his principles were first im planted in liis breast by his Teacher. Go ask teat Christian, and he will perhaps tell you that he was made to know the sinfulness of liis na ture by the precept and example of lrs Teach er—that he was constrained in the ways of .■mi; and light, by the words of advice of Lis . actor. Think not that I am placing the . : s < ond in the great work of forming ~ Au.-—far from it. But I do say that much good seed implanted in the > man by the parents, which would ne iv.opcd. v.xre it not for the timely idaeiier. The cause of this is that ..u ... incur character, and as he has children ofcvvry uispositiou that exists in the human fa-i-.-iy, it becomes necessary for him to make i.icir character his study iu a greater or less ■ ice, and as he does this, discovers and eu ...ti.vors to correct variousfodales indisposition, v.Meh perhaps the parent never discovered, i -ecause of their partiality for these objects of .r praiseworthy affection. Again, she Teacher must so guard his -, mid discipline his actions, as to set .a pure examples before children, who ia.cure imitators, and then he is obliged o ... w.i.-e more patience than any human be ;ig m ■ xistence, and yet “his prices are high, his task is an easy one,” Let the physician lea e his saddle-bags, and try fora time the du ties of tlie teacher, and see if he will not be willing in a few days to resume his medicine.— Let the farmer leave his plow', and assume the occupation of Teacher, and he will think it a far lighter task “to plow anti to so m t to reap and to mow,” than to be a Teacher of youth. Yea, let even the blacksmith leave his anvil,, and assume the position of Teacher, and in a few’ days he will be willing to return to it again. But it seemi that gratitude is a feeling that is not always extended to Teachers. Parents and friends are not the only ones who do not appreciate the Teacher. Scholars frequently think that because they go to a certain Teach er, or a certum place to School, that it is of no consequence whether they learn or not, and when mildly reproved, think the Teacher is harsh and cruel, that it matters not whether they learn or not, so they have the name of going to School, and the Teacher gets reward ed for his services. They seem not to think that he has their interest at heart, that he does not feel rewarded unless they do their duty as Scholars. They forget that he has a reputa tion to sustain, and yet “his prices are high, and his task an easy one.” Someone may say this is all nonsense, that Teachers wish to be paid for their services as well as others, that the greater number of them teach School be cause they can get no other employment. I did not say they were all a set of self-sacrifi cing beings, for there are exceptions to every general rule. There arc cases, however, which have fallen under the observation of every one, in which they have taught from mere choice. Besides, if they teach for gain, a good Teacher is well calculated to fill other offices by which lie would be better rewarded. ’Tis true, he must have some compensation ; but in what must it consist ? Besides a few of the almigh ty dollars, he would wish a small proportion of gratitude from parents and scholars, a large proportion of appreciation of his merits as a Teacher ; and more, he would like for all to i pause and think deeply ere they say, “his pri ces are high, and his task is an easy one. A Pupil. The Daughter of a Fremont Elector Mar ried to a Negro.— What are we coming to! Tiie following is from a Crawfordville, Indiana paper Read it, and be astonished : “The doctrine that has been so boldly advo cated by the leaders of the abolition -parlv dur ing the last year, ‘that a negro was as good as ! a white man,’has become, with a majority of; the members of that party, a fixed fact. No ■ longer than last week a man residing in the | vicinity of Orbelin College, in the State ofOh<*>,; gave his only daughter iu marriage to a sooty i A fricau who had been educated at this Aboli- i tion institute. * his man, we understand, is a j State elector on the Fremont ticket, and regards the negro as his equal. The young lady is des cribed as being extremely beautiful, and but sixteen years of age, while her dusky lord is blacker than the darkest midnight.” A Grateful Negro— When Mr. Jonathan ross, Siioe iuteudent of Col portage, was at in* inh, eollec iug uuds for the tract socie r , w s publicly catechised in v irions places r.

PEN AND SCISSORINGS Ex-Gov. Cobb. The Atlanta Intelligencer of yesterday says : We had the pleasure of taking Gov. Cobb, by the hand, yesterday morning, upon his arri val from Indiana, w'here he has been doing gal lant service for the Democracy. He brings most cheering accounts from that State as W'ell as from Pennsylvania. Both will in his judg ment, have given a majority for the State tick et yesterday —but at all events they will iu November be fully in line for Buchanan and Breckinridge. We take great pleasure in an nouncing that Gov. Cobb will be with us at our Mass Meeting on Friday and Saturday. The Hon. Luke Piyor, tliclate Know Noth ing candidate for the United States, Senate, ire the State of Alabama, and an Elector lor Fill more, La>- renounced hL allegiance to Know Notiiiiigism, and ded-ured publicly for James liueLaimii. This gentleman and Percy Walker Gere two of the lead ng spirits of the American party in Alabama. -~~ * Election iu Kansas. The New York Commercial Advertiser of the 10th just, says:—“We received yesterday just as we were going to press, a telegraphic despatch from St. Louis, saying that a letter from Lawrence, Kansas Territory, was publsh ed in the St. Louis Democrat, iu which it was stated that the Free State men there had re solved not to vote at the election about to take place. St. Louis, Oct. 18.--Whitfield has been elec ted delegate from Kansas.-[Ex. Election in Williuiiigtou Delaware.- Willniington, Oct. 8. — I The election yester day for Inspectors and Assessors resulted as follows:—Newcastle county, 850 demecratic majority; Kent county, 450 democratic majori ty; Sussex, 500 democratic majority.-[Ex. Is it a Bargain ? —We learn from sources that re can hardly doubt, that the leaders of the Buch anan and Fillmore parties have come to an under standing, and are now at work, night and day, con sumating the coalition to defeat Fremont. The South will thro v Fillmore overboard (as we have all along expected and predicted) for Buchanan ; while at the North, the Fillmore men will vote for Buchanan, wherever die amalgamation is likely to effect the desired object. An a-rangenient like this looks rather formidable; it is well calculated to appal t imid lie/üblicana, and nerve to greater exertion the brave.- N. Y. Mirror, Biack Repub lican. How ro Escape from a Room Filled with Smoke. —It is not generally understood, says the Buffalo Express , that in case of fire in a house, the room becoming filled with smoke, the best plan for safety is to lie upon the floor, where one is sure to iind a strata of pure air. By adopting this method many have been ena bled to crawl out of the room,escaping suffoca tion. Another mode of precaution, said to bo attended with equal safety, when caught in a foom Ailed with smoke, is to hold a ‘handker chief before the mouth and uose, which will admit the air in breathing and exclude the sm uke. The Boiling .Springs or Utah.—lu Washo tah Valley, L T tab,according to the papers, there are ten boiling springs, which are great natur al curiosities. They are situated on the banks of a stream, aud pour out their waters seething hot, with a great noise. The waters hiss ami dash over each jagged roek, aud jets of steam hot enough to scald the hand, is also forced out. Deposits of sulphur and alum are found in their neighborhood, and the whole appear ance of the region evince a powerful volcanic action. Singular Premiums. —Among the various premiums offered by the Coles County Fair, > held at Charleston, HI., last week, were the fol lowing : To the ugliest man in this or the ad joining States, to be adjudged by a committee of ladies, $lO mirror ; to the tallest man, $5 •walking stick ; to the shortest man, $5 pair high heeled boots ; to the smallest animal of any kind of its age, one volume I’r. Farmer ; to the best original conundrum, one volume of the New Orleans Picayune ; to the best origi nal toast, one volume of the National Intelli gencer ; to a word of sentence with best comic definition, one Com. Blackstone.—<fr. Repub lican. Assaultoo Edward Willson. We regret to learu that Air. Willson, the ex cellent Clerk of Council, when going quietly home from the Court House, between three and four o’clock this morning, was violently assail ed by a number of persons at the corner of Bull and Jones streets. He was stabbed in the back (with a bowie knife it is supposed,) and beaten in the face, but that the course of the knife was intercepted by the lower extremity of the shoul der the cut would probably have proved fatal. We are gratified to learn from Dr Wayne who dressed the wound, that it is not danger ous. A person less inclined to get into difficulties or who would do more to avoid them than Mr. Willson, lives not in our community. ITis crime —his only crime, is the energetic and efficient support which he gives to the Democratic party —an unpardonable offence iu the eyes of the more reckless of his ‘Law and order” oppo nents.— Geo <S- Journal. Low Necked Dresses. The low necked dresses of the ladies are made the theme of small jokes by certain chaps. In our opinion it is with the ladies a matter of taste.w.iicU they might be allowed toindulge at their discretion ; the wits who would ridicule them had better look at home, and as they live in glass houses, absta u from throwing stones. If they don’t like to see the ladies, let them look another way ! There was a grand party out at Madame It.’ a short time ago, and the mass of the ladies present were extremely lowly minded; so low were some of them disposed to go, that Spindle said to his friend Shuuks; “Did you ever see the like?” 4 “No,” savs Shanks, “I never did: at least, not since I was weaned.’* That was outrageous; but presently the saps met the belle of tftfe evening, a splendid crea ture, aud Spindle exclaimed ; “What a galaxy of beauty ” “Well I declare, says Shanks, . “you have the advantage of me. I thought a galaxy in cluded a constellation of beanties?,’ “So it does,” said Spindle, “and don’t you see the milky way? On they passed and soon encountered a maguificeut woman, with such frank develop ments as to leave no room for doubt as to the ; quality of her charms. “There,” says Spindle, “is tbe finest woman . in the house. ’ “Fact,” says Shanks*.“she oatstrigs all the „• rest.” ’ ‘ ? ? ;
