Ware Washington, Jefferson sed Madi
son Know-Sf ollilngs t
The attempt made to prove Washington,
Jefferson, Madison, and other fathers of
the revolution, Know-Nothings, is perhaps
the most outrageously false of the many
false measures which have been used by
our opponents in the present canvass. Sheer
disgust has hitherto prevented us from no
ticing this matter: an unsound argument
we may well attempt to refute, but our pa
tience fails when we are called upon to ex
pose so glaring a falsehood as this. Unable
to meet the question of naturalization upon
its merits, our opponents have sought
refuge in the opinion of our past great
statesmen. From the writings of these,
garbling extracts, which they well knew gave
a sentiment entirely false, they have had the
assurance toattemptto prove that theframers
of the naturalization laws believed them to
be wrong. A slander this upon the very
men for whose opinion they pretend such
respect. If Washington, Jefferson and
Madison believed that the naturalization of
foreigners was injurious to interests of the
country over whose destinies they wielded
such influence, what excuse shall be given
for their derilection of duty in failing to at
tempt to impress such opinions on the con
stitution of that country ? Fortunately for
the honor of these men; they believed no
such thing, as their acts and writings
abundantly prove.
The extract mostly used to prove the hos
tility of Washington against foreigners, is
as follows:
“ Against the insidious wiles of a foreign
influence (I conjure you to believe me, fel
low-citizens) the jealousy of a free people
ought to be constantly evoked. It is one of
the most baneful foes of a Republican Gov
ernment.”
Here the quotation, with the enemies of
naturalization, stops. We will continue it:
“ But that jealousy to be useful must be
impartial, else it becomes the instrument of
the very influence to be avoided, instead of
a defence against it. Excessive partiality
for one foreign nation, and excessive dis
like of another, cause those whom they ac
tuate to see danger only on our side, and
serve to veil or even second the arts of in
fluence on the other.”—Veil. XVII, page
230.
Will any sane man doubt the meaning
herein contained, or will he say that that
meaning has not been grossly perverted by
the Know-Nothing organs? It is well
known that at at the time this letter was
written the United States was involved in
difficulties from the interference of the
French Nation with our affairs, and Wash
ington has wisely told us to beware of such
influence—the influence of a stronger nation
upon a weaker—in the future. Here is an
other of these passages even more transpa
rent than the other:
“ I devoutly wish that we had not a sin
gle foreigner among us, ex *ept Marquis de
LaFayetto, who acts on very different prin
ciples from those which govern the rest.”
Upon the strength of this single extract
it is attempted to be proved that the Great
American General was opposed to the intro
duction of foreign born citizens in the army.
If such was the fact what must be our opin
ion of the intelligence of Washington when
it is known that three-fourths of that army
were composed of foreign born citizens.—
Will these men gravely assert, that the
Commander-in-Chief wished to disband
tliree-fourths of the soldiers of the Govern
ment and expel one-third of its officers ?—
The true meaning of the above extract is
easily found. The letter was written with
reference to an appointment of Baron Steu
ben, which met the opposition of Washing
ton. There were besides Baron Steuben
many adventurers, commonly known as
soldiers of fortune, who came to America
in time of the Revolution for the purpose of
selling their services to the Government.—
These men had no interest in the country,
they never expected to become citizens of it.
The Government found great difficulty in
the control of these, who, feeling, many of
them, interest alone in themselves, attempt
ed to advance themselves to the highest of
fices in the army.
It was against these that the ill opinion
of Washington wasdirected, andnot against
Hamilton and Leo and three-fourths of his
army. Men who though born abroad,
had made America their home, aud were
Americans in soul and in feeling. The
man who claimed himself a citizen of this
country, Washington never called a foreign
er. Here is the true opiniou of the Father
of his Country on the subject of naturaliza
tion, spoken directly to the point:
"The bosom of America is open to re
ceive, not only the opulent and respectable
stranger, but the oppressed and persecuted
of all nations and ail religions, whom we
•hall welcome to a participation in all our
rights and privileges.”
Let us hear no more of Washington’s Know
Nothingism.
Here is what Jefferson and Madison say
as quoted by the Know Nothing press:
"I hope we may find some means in fu
ture of shielding ourselves from foreign in
fluence—political, commercial, or in what
ever form it may be attempted. I. wish
there was an ocean of fire between this and
the old world.”—Jefferson.
“Foreign influence is a Grecian horse to
the Republic—we cannot be too careful to
exclude it entrance.”—Madison.
These sentiments were both spoken with
direct reference to the interference of for
eign nations with our affairs—an interfer
ence which the Democratic party deprecate
as much as any other. Here are tL - di
rect opinions of these two great statesmen
upon the subject of naturalisation ? Mr.
Madison in the debates on the Constitution
says.
"Should the proposed Constitution have
the intended effect of giving stability and
reputation to our government, great num
bers of respectable European men, who
love liberty and wish to partake of its bles
sings, will be ready to transfer their for
tunes hither. All such would feel the mor
tification of being marked with auspicious
incapacities, though they should not court
public honors.”
During the administration of John Ad
ams and Federalist supremacy, the term for
naturalization had been extended to four
teen years. So soon as the Republican
party came into power, one of their first
•ate was to place the period of naturaligar
tion to where it now stands.^ We axtract
the following from the first message of
Thomas Jefferson:
“I cannot (unit recommending the revisal
of the laws on the subject of naturalization.
Considering the ordinary chances of human
life, a denial of citizenship under a resi
dence of fourteen years, is a denial to the
great proportion of those who ask it, and
controls a policy pursued from their first
settlement oy many of these States, and
still believed of consequence to their pros
perity. And shall we refuse the unhappy
fugitives from distress that hospitality which
even the savages of the wilderness extended
to our fathers arriving in this land? Shall
oppressed humanity find no asylum on this
globe? The Constitution, indeed, has wise
ly provided that for admission to certain
trust, a residence shall be required sufficient
to develop character and design ; but might
not the general character and capabilities
of a citizen be safely communicated to every
one manifesting a bona fide purpose of em
barking his life and- fortunes permanently
with us?”
So far from the Fathers of the Revolution
favoring the Know Nothing policy, it was
to escape this policy that they waged war,
and every act of their lives shows open hos
tility to it. The Constitution formed by
these men, with Washington at their head,
makes express provision for the naturali
zation of foreigners. In no time, under
no administration- has a distinction been
drawn in the appointments to offices, be
tween citizens of native and foreign birth.

starring from the Crimea. Sebastopol has
been treated to a couple days bombardment,
hut it effected nothing. Both besiegers and
besieged were actively employed in prepar
ing for future demon.strations. The Allied
country calmly considering the policy of
the government, advocated or opposed it
from a sense of right. Such times have
passed away, and instead thereof we have
secret orders entrapping unthinking and
unsuspecting persons into their toils, whence
having once arrived, every method of es
cape is cut off. Every influence of terror
and shame is brought to bear upon the un
fortunate individual, who is forced to sacri
fice his rights as a freeman and his duty to
government to the rule of au organized sind
secret order.
W r ho will read the many instances of this
nature which have come within the knowl
edge of the outer world, where honest men,
breaking loose from these tramels, have
been denounced and persecuted by the or
der, without believing that the tendency of
Know-Nothingism is towards Jacobinism.
We see in a late article in the Macon
Telegraph, that Mr. Bone, a worthy citizen
of that place, having seen fit to withdraw
from the Order, has been, to use his own
words, “abused and ridiculed as though I
bad committed a crime, and my name has
been placarded about the town, and my
feelings otherwise wantonly and grossly in-
that Washington, Jefferson and Madison— j suited. ” Another instance of this shameful
policy pursued by the Order, against mem
bers withdrawing, may be found in the
speech of Mr. Steele, of Virginia, at a la'e
Kuow Nothing demonstration. Speaking <,f
the rebe'lious members, he characterizes
them as follows:—
“ They are a doubly damned, deeply dyed,
hell-begotten, godforsaken, hydra headed tri
ple tongued, cloven footed, set of perjured
traitors, whom if the earth icere the fulcrum
and the heavens the lever, almighty p>-tcer
could not in a thousand years raise to the
common level of culprits.”
each gave high appointments in their Cabi
net to men of foreign birth, and no bright
er names adorn the history of the Ameri
can nation than Alexander Hamilton and
Albert Gallatin.
Know-Nothingism is of a recent birth,—
Our fathers, or at least those of them whom
we most respect, disclaimed all such doc
trine. They respected the man and not his
birth-place.

Gov. Johnson met Col. Gentry by ap

as we hear. After reaching that place, it
was ascertained that the Colonel was seri
ously ill, and unable to fill bis future ap

of the State to close at Knoxville. Although
Gov. JohDson was beset by a host of eager
friends, and implored to go on with bis
speech, he with a magnanimity unsupposed

and thinks that 10,000 votes ahead will do

“But apart from these high considerations

peratively require you to take this position.
Andrews never will and never can either
come or he brought up to the position which a
Georgian professing to stand upon the Geor
gia platform oughtto occupy, and his papers
will of course have to stand with him—he
has a natural capacity for submission which
no cultureever can equal—his geuius for it is
sublime, he is possessed by an innate and
inborn love of the Union which, with him,
is an instinct stronger than reason, a senti
ment purer than religion—it is a blind de
votion stronger than anything even he can
imagine of the devotion of a Catholic to the
Pope—the Union is his Providence from
which all blessings flow, and its inflictions
are blessings in disguise. Ilis is not the
abject submission of craven and cowardly
fear—it indeed can hardly be called sub
mission, it is the willing offering of an en
thusiastic idolatry, with him all interest
is swallowed up in its preservation, all honor
consists in devotion to it.”
K. N. Inconsistencv.—Not only are
Northern and Southern K. N’s. divided, but
in different States at the South they main
tain positions diametrically opposed. The
State Council of K. N’s. of the State of Lou
isiana, at a late session, adopted these re
solutions in their platform.
9 While we approve of the platform adop
ted hj the late National Council of the
American party at Philadelphia, we regret
the application of the principles of the 8th
article to the American Catholics, as un
just, unfounded, and entirely unworthy of
our country. We shall forever continue to
protest againBt any abridgement of reli
gious liberty, holding it as a cardinal max
im that religious faith is a question between
each individual and his God. We utterly
condemn any attempt to make religious be
lief a test for political office, and can never
affiliate with any party which holds senti
ments not in accordance with these.
ID. We war with no party as such, but
shall oppose all who oppose us in the advo
cacy of these great American principles.
That is to say, in plain words, we, the
K. N’s. of Louisiana, will oppose all who
oppose us in our opposition to the religious
test adopted by the Philadelphia National
Council. How can the K. N’s. of Georgia
escape the test thus applied by their breth
ren in Louisiana ?

Lon Raglan's Last Moments.
A letter frmu before Sevastopol of the
30th ult., in the Semaphore of Marseilles,
gives the following details of L jrd Raglan’s
illness and death :
Ilis lordship was several days laboring
under the influence of that singular malady
which nearly resembles cholera without
having all the symptoms of it, but the phy
sicians, on the very morning of his death,
had given it as their opinion that he was
letter, and that his state no longer caused
uneasiness. His voice had regained its
strength, he had been able to eat, and dur
ing tlie whole of tlte day hopes, were enter
tained that all vestige of his indisposition
would soon disappear. Lord Raglan had
said himself that he felt nearly well, but
about half past six in the evening he was j
seized with a sudden faintness, and, without j
suffering the slightest pain, gradually sank,
and in two hours after this crisis resigned
his soul to G-.d with a calmness and a tran
quility which it is impossible to describe.—
When the religious ceremonies have been
perf-rmed his body will lie reunited from

Immense Reinforcementsjrom France.
We read in the Courrier de Marseille of
the 10th inst.:
If we are to judge from the preparations
making at Marseilles and Toulon, there is
little doubt that our army in the East will
be soon considerably augmented. We are
not going to send thither fresh reinforce
ments to fill up the void occasioned by the
war, by disease and furlough. An entire
army is to be embarked, the effective force
of which will amount to at least 50.000 men.
■ The same letter touches on several mis
cellaneous matters connected with the siege:
Mortars on a new system, the range of
which is exceedingly great, have been
placed in the Genoese Fort to the left, near
the Quarantine, and their fire begins to an
noy the eight Russian liue-of-battle ships,
and the four steamers which are now an

kind of investment will he completed by the soon sank. lie rose once to the surface and
have charge of the helm, into peril and dis
aster, if not to total ruin. It is against the
Democracy, that Know Nothingism has
waged its bitterest war ? Has it ever ar
rayed itself against Whiggery? Why, ft
has opened wide its bosom, and cordially
welcomed to its embrace—the fragments of
that dismembered party ? Has it, as a party
ever contended against Abolitionism ? Why
it has clasped hands with it, counselled
with it, and triumphed with it. in its war
upon the Democracy ?
Wherever its banner has been unfurled, it

It has achieved no victory over the enemies
of the South. It has won its laurels in the
defeat of her friends. At North, at East, at

Tragedy at Coney Island—Woman’s
Love
A most deplorabie accident occurred at
Coney Island yesterday, which will carry
mourning and grief to more than one fami
ly in a neighboring city. It appears a
large party of ladies and gentleman started
from Williamsburg yesterday morning on
a pleasure trip to Coney Island, at which
place they arrived about noon. They
st p,>ed at Wycoff’s Hotel,below the Oceanic
House, and went from there to the shore,
wl.e e they went in bathing. There were
other bathers in the water, indeed the beach
was lined with them. All passed off plea
santly until a cry was raised, “The under
tow !” "the undertow!” and on looking to
wards the ocean the company saw with dis
may five of their party drifting out to sea.
Great confusion immediately prevailed,
and efforts were made to procure a boat, but
none could be found for a mile either wa3 r
along the beech. No other resource being
left, the doors of the bathing house were
torn off and shoved out after the persons in
the water, and two of them were saved
thereby.
But the most melancholy part of this
story remains to be told. It appears the
difficulty originated by a young lady named
Mary Ann Elliot, getting beyond her depth,
and feeling the undertow taking her out,
she screamed out, "I am sinking, save me!”
Her father, Rev: John Eliott, who was in
the wa er, seeing the danger of his child,
swain towards her ; but before reaching the
spot where she was, he was also taken
with the current and drifted out to sea and
works executed on the tight attacks, on the
Malakoff attacks, and on the slope of the
Careening Bay, which belongs to the allies.
The General-in-Chief, it is said, places
great re'iance on the results. The temper
ature is very variable. Two evenings ago
the rain fell in torrents, accompanied by
heavy thunder, and the air was much re
freshed. The nights, in particular, are very
rool. At Kertcli, every thing remains in

again and was seen no more.
The peril of Miss Elliott was also seen by
a Mr. Thomas Gibbons, the affianced hus
band of the lady, who immediately waded
and swam to where she was struggling in
the water, and succeeded in holding her up
for some time. The greatest excitement
prevailed at the moment the tragedy *as

and will in the future, “uni e” North and
South upon a platform in relation to slave
ry. At their last national convention at
Baltimore, in 1852, they re-affirmed, for the
fourth or fifth time, that the general govern
ment has nothing to do with the question of
slavery, and that the "efforts of the aboli
tionists and others to induce Congress to in
terfere” on the subject, “or to take incip
ient steps thereto,” are "calculated to lead
to the most alarming and dangerous conse
quences” and "endanger the stability and
permanence of the Union,” and “ought not
to be countenanced by any friend of our
political institutions.” Ttiey further ap
prove of the compromise of 1850, the prin
ciple of which was that the people of the
territories, and not Congress, ought to de
cide the slavery question. They adopted
this platform unanimously and with loud
cheers.
The Democratic party has not changed
its creed since : and when its national repre
sentatives convene in Cincinnati next year,
the editor of the Columbian will find they
will have no difficulty upon the platform. It
has never pandered to abolitionism. Know-
Nnuthinistn, or any other kind of fanati
cism, and is the same glorious arganiza-
tion it was in the days of-Jefferson or Jack- these withdrawals, we have heard of sever-

that
bable attack. The allies continue to
fortify Yenikale, the garrison of which
has been lately reinforced. Every thing
continues to go on well in the Sea of
Azoff and on the Asiatic coast of the
Black Sea. On the 27 of June a regiment
of French marines left Kamiescb to garri
son St. Paul and Ak-Bnurnou, which com
mand the Straits of Kertcb. These troops
are to replace those which had been left
there by Gen. D'Autemarre.
A Perfect Stampede.
On Saturday, the I4th inst., it was pub
licly announced at the Court House in this
place, that there would be a meeting of the
American (K. N.) party at that place on
the following Saturday, at which time some
fifty persons would probably apply for ad
mission. Well, Saturday came, and with
it the meeting, of cour.-e. but instead of the
fifty appearing for initiation, a petition of
withdrawal from the order, signed by twen
ty-nine persons, was prerented, while we
learn only one was initiated—he was from
California. We also understand that the
Council at Moss Hill, in this county, has
hurst up, and that many members are with
drawing from other Councils in the countv.
We have it also, from credible authority,
that if the Council in this place ever meets
again, there will be as many, if not more,
withdrawals than at the lastmee'ing. Ver
ily, Sam’s strength is increasing rapidly in
this county, “over the left.” In addition to
constitution will be obliged everywhere to
rally under its banner.—[Cincinnati En

Woman’s Sphere
Charles Dickens never wrote any thing
more beautiful and true than the following:
The true woman, for whose ambition a
husband’s love and her children’s adora
tion are sufficient, who applies her military
instinct to the discipline of her household,
and whose legislatics exercise themselves
in making laws for her nurse whose intel
lect has field enough for her communion
with her husband, and whose heart asks no
other honor than his love and admiration ;
a woman tha't d.>es not think it a weakness
to attend to her toilet, and dues not disdain
to the beautiful, who believes in the virtue
of glossy hair and well String gowns, and
who escbeR’s rent and ravelled edges, slip
slop shoes and audacious make ups ; a wo
man who speaks low and does not speak
much; who is patient and gentle and intel
lectual and industrious; who loves more
than she reasons and rarely argues but ad
just with a smile, such a woman is the wife
WC j ave ^ dreamed on once in our lives,
and wh« is the mother we stil 1 worsnip in
the backward distance of the past; such a
woman as this does more for woman’s
cause than all the sea captains, barristers,
judges and members of parliament put tol
gether—God given and Gud blessed as she
Whigs who are not members, declare they
could not support Mr. llawkins, while w'e
have not bend but one man say positively
that he would support him. Put this and
that together, and Mr. Hawkins’chance for
election is as slim as a hickory shad in Au
gust. If anybody doubts any of the above
assertion/*, all we have to say is, put us to
the proof, and we’ll substantiate them be
yond c|ivil.
We Would remark by way of postscrin,
that the lists pre-ented for withdrawal frcin
the Council in this place, was composed of
both Whigs and Democrats.
P. S. Since the above was in type we
have seen a list of etght more names that
will lie presented to the next Council for

informs us that there arc at least twenty or
thirty more, who will sign it by the next

Mr. Gibbons had secured a piece of timber

ly it was not large enough to uphold both, and
Mr. Gibbons disengaged himself from Miss

but, with a true woman’s devotion, seeing
that he would drown,she suppressed in that
moment of peri!, when the horrors of death
were clustering around her, the selfish in
stinct of her nature for life, and let go her

her own sake to never mind him, but her

Mr. Gibbons was fortunately drifted to

Growl b of New York.
On Tuesday the Supervisors of the City
of New York received from the Comptroller
a communication stating the valuation of
Real and Personal Estate, together with an
estimate of the amount necessary to be
raised by tax for the expenses of the pre
sent year. The aggregate taxable property
is four hundred and eighty seven millions
of dollars, and the rate of tax about one dol
lar and twenty cents cm each hundred dol
lars, making a levy of nearly six millions
for the support oft he Municipal Government.
Under the new law the tax commissioners
have added to the valuation the sum of §14,-
491,130, being capital employed by non
residents. The Commissioners have added
in real estate $1,143,470, and in personal
estate (inoludingFnon-residents) $24, 093.-

Tbit year it will probably reach 750,000.

Hon. Howell Cobb in Forsytk.
We find in our exchanges the proceed
ings of a meeting, on tlie 9th inst. at Cum- ;
rains;, of citizens of Forsyth co., composed I
of Union Democrats, Union Whigs, and j
Southern Rights’ Whigs, men in favor and i
men opposed to the American party, which |
seems to ii^iicate that there are some voters j
opposed to*thre election of Gen. Cobb.
The resolutions which were introduced by !
a prominent Democrat, may we think, be i
regarded as emphatic and decided—whatso- i
ever may be thought of their good taste and j
propriety. Dr. Y. S. Dean acted as Chair- j
man, and W. A. Lewis, Esq., Secretary.— ,
We copy:
Geo. N. Lester, E«q., introduced the fol- i
lowing preamble and resolution, which were j
adopted with uproarious manifestations of
approbation;
Howell Cobb, having byabaseand treaefc-
erouseombination with StephensandToomhs
broken down the Democratic party in 1850,
and having by the same means beaten Chas.
J. McDonald, the pet of the Southern Rights’
party for Governor, in 1851; having in 18-
53 turned round and helped llerschel V.
•Johnson beat lion. Chas. J. Jenkins, the
builder of tiie Georgia platform, and the
favorite of the Union party, for the office of i
Governor, and t -on again having combined j
with the said II. V. Johnson and Alfred j
Iverson to defeat the said Charles J. Me- !
Donald, for the office of Senator at the ses
sion of the Legislature in 1854, the said 1
McDonald being the choice of the Demo- i
cratic party; and last the said Howell Cobb
having in 1855 formed another base combi- j
nation with Tootnhsand Stephens and John- ;
s <ii for bare purposes, and having denounc- i
ed in terms of unmeasured abuse and un-
mitiga’ed falsehood the American party of
Georgia, their "principles, aims aud ob
jects:” be it therefore
Resolved, That Ilowell Cobb, having thus
been faithless, falre and untrue to every
party and everybody that has honored hitn,
is utterly unworthy of their respect, and

Rep.
Who is that “prominentDemoerat ?” W'e
had thought that a Deni icrat. a Whig, a
Know Nothing was neither m ire nor less
th in it in w who belonged to these several
political organizations, and who believed in
the principles they promulgate. But we
fbrgit: Nothing in these parts is more com
mon than to hear a K. N. orator proclaim,
"I :vn not a member of the order ; I belong
to no party, especially the old rotten parties
that once ruled and ruined the country !”
Wiien you do hear this specious talk, hard
en the tissues of your carcass, for the most
savage and unconscionable beating that
a Dent icrat ever caught is camming.—
No, the way of it is that a K. N. under this
new moral dispensation, may belong to the
order—that is the esoteric view of the case,
and is for the faithful—then again he may
at the same time not belong to the order,
and that is the exoteric view of the matter,
which view is for the poor devils, the for
eign party, “furriners,” the outside, anti-A-
merican barbarians. All this is based up
on the seif-evident truth, that good faith
should not be kept with the heretical and
obstinate party that will not affiliate with
John Adams’ Federalism, alias—it has a
thousand of these aliases, and they are all
bad, and there is no use in talking about
them. But, we repeat, who is that promi
nent Democrat ? Our cotemporary of the
Republican surely will not insist in calling
Mr. Lester a Democrat, who openly avows
himself a K. N., and who as we are in
formed has recently (at Marietta, perhaps,)
delivered himrelfof one of most abusive
phillippics against that same Democracy,
that ever was listened to. The wonder to
all who listened to that unmerciful tirade
was, how on earth any man’s conscience
would suffer him to delay for one whole
year (a long time in the political almanac
for Mr. L.), nay for a day, for a single
hour, in the tents of such an "abomination
among abominations,” as this well-abused
Democracy.
But let this be as it may, Mr. Lester,
the Chairman of the Committe at the great
blackguarding Convention convened in For
syth county, is no Democrat, but on the
contrary is supporting an old Whig for
Congress against Gov. Cobh, and au older
Whig (a much harder case when you speak
of that.) for Judge, against as true a Dem
ocrat and as noble-hearted a fellow as ever
piloted a meal bag over the mountains.
We would not be understood as finding
fault with Mr. Lester for quitting the Dem
ocratic membership and trampling under
foot those sacred sympathies once enter
tained with the aims and labors of that
old membership, to support the opponent
of Col. Brown for the Judgeship. With
some men—and we are not prepared to
say that it should not be so with all —
the claims of family are very imperative,
but we do think that Mr. L’s. father-in-
law might receive the support of the K.
N. party, and the aid too, of all that Mr.
Lester can do for him without all this
unstinted abuse and defamation of Gov.
Cobb and the entire Democratic party.—
The Republican with a liberality that does
it honor, we think, deals a gentle hint to
the Chairman that miy he of future ser
vice when it makes that suggestion about
“good taste and pronriety.” Before we
close we would suggest one thing in mit
igation of that portentous impeachment of
Gov. Cobb made up in Forsyth, which in
cludes among its other horrors the insinu
ation that the G ivernor “is utterly un
worthy of respect.” The day has been in
Georgia when such language as we have
quoted from the Forsyth resolutions would
have been regarded as severe; nay would
have been considered quite personal. But
not so now. Since the inauguration of a
secret political society in our midst, the char
acter of a gentleman stands in about the
same estimation as that of a passable cur,
and not in half so good repute as well-
broke pointers have immemorially enjoyed.
Of course we mean if the gentleman hap
pens to he outside of good society, which
now means outside of the American (?) Or
der. If we “furriners” can just be allowed
to vote with our polls unbroken, it is getting
on finely these days. Biit we started to
ask if there was not something very hand
some, “very worthy of respect,” some
thing almost blooded enough in the mag
nanimity of Gov. Cobb’s forbearance at the
Cherokee meeting, to hat* done honor to
that "strong American feeling,” that those j
celestials who mean to “rule America,” •
are actuated by ?
We think that when Mr. Lester dcpreca- i
tingly turned round at that meeting, and j
appealed to all to bear him witness how >
respectful he had been, and hoped fur the
same gentle treatment—we say we do think
that when we tell the Republican that Gov.
Cobb spoke two whole hours without one
word of recrimination of Mr. “ Chairman,”
that this at least was not “utterly unwor
thy of respect.”
One word more. Dr. Y. S. Dean, who j
presided over this meeting in Forsyth, whicb ;
seems to have been called for the National
purpose of “blacking” Gov. Cobb, is no
Democrat either, being an old North Caro
lina Whig. We say being for once such
a Whig as thie is to be always a hopeless
case. The Doctor well knows that such a
subject is beyond the highest achievments
in surgery—it is worse than blind staggers.
So after all, the Forsyth demonstration is
the same old K. N. infection—a regular case
of it, taken in the usual way. There is
nothing Democratic about it, and we assure
our readers nothing in ihe world is to be
apprehended from it. We are happy to
say too, that Gov. Cobb is still received in
genteel society, notwithstanding this Pre
amble and Resolve,

Laws, says:
Those of our American brethren, who
have read the “Commentary,” have no
doubt been highly entertained, and feel no
other regret, than that our friends of the

Do we understand our cotempora y as de
nying the genuineness of the document com
mented on? If so, why not say it? Why
resort to Know-Nothing subterfuge in order
to evade a plain matter ? If the editor ut
the Discipline as a member of the American

that the Constitution and By Laws a* pub
lished by the Richmond Enquirer andChar-

Democracy.
Tali about Know Nothingism erecting
itself on the ruins of the Democratic party,
to save the Union thereby. You might a>
well speak of cutting the heart from a man,
and bidding him live. Excuse the extrava
gance of the expression ; but when we con
sider the noble stand taken by the Democ
racy throughout the entire Union, in compa
rison with the soul-sickening abolitionism
of Know Nothings N irth, we do feel proud
that we belong to such a party. Hear an

to attach to her admission, conditions which
trammel her co-equal sovereignty, is a party
which ought to die, will die, and by the
help of God, we inteud to du all we cau to
make it die.”
Yet while noble men Norch, are prepared
to protect our rights, we are divided here
upon the method of treatment of a few un
fortunate foreigners, whom chance has
driven into our midst. The great Democra

Catoosa Springs, Aug, 1, 1855.
The Cadets of the Georgia Military Insti
tute, are now encamped on the hill slope
south of the hotel building at Catoosa. The
corps reached the platform on Friday even
ing, in the rain, and of course had a pretty
rough time in their march to the spring
grounds, and in pitching their tents in the
rain, and sleeping that night without straw.
The next day a supply was obtained, since
which time they have been quite comforta
ble. All speak in the highest terms of the
correct aud gentlemanly deportment of the
Cadets. No body of young men could have
been brought together who would have
surpassed them in this respect. They will
probably leave the springs on their return to
Marietta, stopping for a day in the city ol
Dalton, as they have received an invitation
from the citizens to do so.
I wish I had time to give you some ac
count of this very pleasant and interesting
place. Pure air, good fare, band of music,
and various amusements, as dancing, ten
pins, &o., &o., constitute attractions for the
lovers of pleasure. To the invalid in search
of health, the mineral waters afford a
greater variety than perhaps could be found
in any other place within the same compass.
There are chalybeate, white-sulphur, red,
congress and others, within a hundred
yards walk.
The buildingR are extensive, the accomoda
tions ample, and the proprietors gentleman
ly and obliging. Catoosa should be one of
the first and most extensively patronized
watering places in the State.

met according to a previous appointment.
'Die president waiving the usual formalities
of an obligation, council proceeded to trans
act business: whereupon, Mr. B. B. Good
win offered the following resolutions, which
were adopted:
Resolved, That this council is this dav
dissolved, and the members thereof are left
free to vote for whomsoever they please at
the August election, and in all time to come.
Resolved, That we look upon the order as
being dangerous to this government, and
well calculated to dissolve the Union of these
States.
Resolved further, That we do earnestly
solicit our whig and democratic friends in
this State to dissolve their connexion with
such an order, as we do believe it too strong
ly tinotured with abolitionism to suit the
honest and patriotic oitixens of Kentuoky.
The council then adjourned.

follow their use.
The Liver Pill may also be used where purging
