At no time has there been such an array of talent before tho voters of the South, as that now offered hy the Democratic party. Know Nothingism has driven from the Whig ranks almost every man of talent who belonged there ; from these, and from the noblest of the Itemocrats, the opponents of Know Nothingism have selected men who ore able to meet the great question to be introduced into the next Congress. It will be a proud day for Georgia when Cobb, Ste- litionists. But to this it was replied that if Reeder had deceived us, so he did Southern Senators, who unanimously ap proved his nomination. And when the mal contents demanded his removal, and he was removed accordingly, why, straight way a new outrage has been committed up on us, because he was not displaced, for a graver offence than a corrupt speculation iu lands.

The directors-generals placed at the head of these commissions will henceforth naturally take the title of minis- 1 ters. These reforms, it will be seen, are of real importance, having to a certain extent the character of a commencement of the re constitution of the old kingdom of Poland.

Ttutuec Election. The Nashville papers—Know Nothing— are singularly destitute of auy satisfactory account of the result of the election in Ten- Johnson's majority will probably be about 2,000. The Know Nothings, it is thought, have carried the Senate, and the Democrats the House. Sneed, Zollicoffer, Ktherage, Rivers, Ready, Know Nothings, and Jones, Wright and Smith, Democrats, are elected to Congress. The Congressional delegation will probably be as before, six Know Noth ings, and four Democrats. SUadrr W e see that some of the Know Nothing papers continue to slander Washington, Jefferson and Madison, by attributing to them Know Nothing sentiments. A respect for the great departed, we had hoped would have prevented the recurrence of this, after it hod been so satisfactorily proven that •uch was not their opinions. Suppressing Convents. The Senate of Sardinia have passed tbe Ministerial Bill for suppressing the convents and monastic institutions, with some unim portant amendments, in which it was believ- tlicm nothing to complain of, we think we know “the intense American feeling,” well enough, to believe that this state of affairs would throw the K. N. world into hopeless dejection.

Men so thank ful for small favors, as they profess to be, “should never look a gift horse in the mouth.” i * Removal of Gov. Reeder. While tho New York Herald and kindred presses are endeavoring to create the im pression at tho South, that Gov. Reeder was removed by President Pierce solely on the ground of his illegal speculations in the In dian lands, and not for his official inter ference in behalf of tlic Eastern abolition ists who were endeavoring to exclude slave holders from the Territory, the freesoil presses of the North are placing a very dif ferent construction upon the President’s ac tion in the premises. That our readers may understand in what light the removal of Gov. Reeder is regarded by the Northern Abolition press, we make the following ex tracts. The New Haven Journal says : “Wc have no words to waste upon ibis last toadyism to the South. President Pierce has so overwhelmed his anministra- tion with disgrace, that even this inquiry can add but little to the scorn of people.— He has been but too prompt to comply with the demands of the miscreant Legislature, which is exemplifying the beauty of ‘squat ter ssvereignty’ by violating every princi ple, and usurping a power which neither the people or Congress ever conferred upon it.

A similar hill has been passed and gone into effect in Spain. In both instances the power of the clergy was thrown into the •cole of opposition, but with no effect. Cath olic countries, as Protestant, have and ever will regulate their own concerns, and every interference of the Church has but shown the civil power. The Know Nothing as- •vtiona that the clergy have ruled in Cath olic countries history proves to be without foundation. done by the President. It was enough for him to receive the demand by telegraph, and it was at once complied with. “It rests with the people of the United States to punish the wickedness and imbe cility of the administration, and the pun ishment is as sure as time. “The last deed of wrong will give addi tional weight to the verdict of the North.” And the Hartford Courant says .- “This Dawson was a candidate for re- election to Congress last October, and was defeated by an anti-Nebraska man. lie is a pro-slavery man of the very worst possi- t ble stamp, an unscrupulous agent of the ; slave power in everytning.

Mo3t of these men have been re-elected, after pledg ing themselves to the people of their dis tricts, to carry out thoir treasonable designs Are they uniting in one great Southern party upon some platform similar to that of Georgia, on which we can all stand together and meet with firmness tbe coming shock ? Are they like watchmen on the tower, strai ning their anxious vision towards the quar ter whence danger impends ? Not at all. The-Whigs of Louisiana, or four-fifths of them have been seduced into joining an or ganization, which, though calling itself the American party, lias no claim to the name of the party at all. It is a mere association for the purpose of influencing, not the meas ures by which the public good is to be at tained, but the men by whom the offices are to be filled. Ob! what a wretched fall, from the proud tradition of the gallant Whigs of the olden time 1 Although entirely unnecessary to recap itulate the often urged objections against this new organization, I will state succinct ly that I am opposed to their principles: Because they are anti-republican in refu sing equal political rights to all the Ameri can citizens; Because they violate the spirit, if not the very letter of the Constitution by the pros cription of citizens on the ground of their religious belief: Because they are a retrogression towards the errors of the dark ages in tending to wards a union of Church and State, a union equally dangerous to civil and religious lib erty; Becanse they present issues addressed to the passions and prejudices of the people, and thus tend to divert their attention from those higher subjects over which it is their duty to keep ceaseless watch ; Because, above all, they infringe that priceless privilege of a freeman, the right of independent personal action, guided by in dependent personal judgment. If not one of all these objections, insuper able in my opinion, existed against this or ganization, I repeat that I would refuse to join a body held together, not by the ties of a common belief in certain principles aud measures of public policy, but simply by their preference of themselves as the right class of men for office holders. Even if this preference were wise and judicious, such an association docs not deserve the name of a party in a republic! it lacks the essential elements of one ; it is a baseless fabric, un substantial and ephemeral. It is impossible that such of our fellow citizens as have still adhered to the Know- Nothings after the ignominious scene at the National Convention lately held in Phil adelphia, can long remain deceived, The light of reason is already breaking on them. Every day adds to tlie proof that so far as the North is concerned, the whole strength of the party rests on two bases; one of vio lent history to the South, the other of bi goted intolerance towards Catholics. I put it to you as candid men, if the Northern Know Nothings were to refuse admission into their lodges of all enemies to the South and were unwilling to extend equal political rights to Catholics, how many members of the party would remain ? Not enough to carry a constable’s election in any ward or district in a Northern State. To speak of a party as national, the plat- froms of which are sectional, is to do violence to the received meaning of language, and none can long remain deceived, except the willing dupes. ism and dm Nebraska biR are in direct; AV ' tbou ^ Avail. ■ It was plain to see that the j Anti-Know-Notliing party, in Crisp’s Athen- ; Congress.

I state my deliberate conviction that this attempt wifi be made in the House of Rep resentatives. I state my most serious ap prehension that it will succeed in that body, and my entire confidence that tbe Senate will resist the infamous project to the end. If these apprehensions be realized, the next session will be closed without providing the supplies necessary to administer the Gov ernment, and tbe Representatives will go home to their constituencies to render an account of tbeir action. The President will be compelled to call an extra session of Congress in order to provide means to carry on tbe Government; and the only hope left to save the country will be the returning sense of justice in the masses of the North when brought in view of .the appalling dan ger that will then have become so manifest and impending as to force immediate and decided action. If they shall fail to choose the wise coarse of obedience to the Consti tution ; if they shall supinely acquiesce in the mad and treasonable warfare waged against the South, the Constitution and common humanity, the days of this Repub lic will have been numbered; and I have neither heart nor courage to seek furth er to penetrate the veil that darkly hides tiie future. .Strange, unprecedented in history is the faot that in a government framed by com mon .consent for the common protection cf all the interests of the governed, one half of the people should carry on a malignant and relentless warfare against the dearest rights of tiie other half, without the slight est interest in the subject matter, without professing .even to perceive any advantage that could be derived by themselves in the event of success, and with a blind and sav age disregard-of the calamities that must ensue if that success were possible.

As this highly respectable seat ignore all precepts squinting toward multi plying and replenishing in the orthodox sense, babies are not one of the “staples " at Lebanon, but although “ none are produced,” they are con strained to become “consumers,” and taking ad vantage of tho sins of the vain and woridly-mind- od in tho article of progeny, they import from time to time, as the same Shakers in the nature of things can’t shake forever.

Interesting exercises were held on Sunday eve last iu Rev. W. H. Beecher’s church, preparatory to the departure of several missionaries for the Marquesas Islands, whose inhabitants, until with in a few years, were cannibals, and had a pleasant habit of judging of the quality of white visitors by thoir fitness for a stew. Two of these mission aries had native wives with them, one of whom is the daughter of the principal chief, and their son, a fine looking boy of six years old, is the heredi tary chief. Thus is Providence opening the Is lands of tho sea for the peaceful triumph of his blessed truth. A most calamitous fire occurred on Sunday eve in Chatham st., in which two children were burn ed to death, and threo other persons, one child and two females so badly burnt that two died last evening, and Mrs. Jacobs, wife of the owner of the premises, is not expected to recover. The firemen fully sustained their jvell-carned reputa tion for heroic daring. Into a building full of flames and stifling smoke they rushed, drawn by the moans of the women, and bore out five per sons who lay swathed in fire. Mr, Jacobs, arrest ed on suspicion of firing his house, was honorably discharged hy tho coroner. Tho famous Bnrnum resembles Geu. Taylor ii, not knowing when he is whipped.

Fame! Fame ! thou raiubow-bued jade, what will not men do for a blast of thy tin trumpet ? A case of mournful interest transpired before * one of our Justices yesterday. A girl of sixteen years, described as very beautiful, was found un der the influence of laudanum, which she had taken for the purpose of self-destruction. In a low sweot voice, with much weeping, she told her story in court and moved all listeners to tears by its sadness. Her father was in California, her mother dead—she had no home, no protector. A wealthy young villain, moved by her beauty, under a promise toconduothor to a house where she might remain for the night, introduced her, all intxperi- m. enced as she was in the villanies of city life, into his apartments, and with throats of violence com pelled her to receive his caresses. At 3 o’clock yesterday morning, as ho lay asleep, she stole away, and proenring tho poison drank it and went off to die, and bitterly did she lament that the band of well intentioned kindness had saved her life. Mothers, a3you gaze upon the fair laces of your daughters, beaming with the innocent purity of heaven, thank God in the foil depth of your lov ing hearts, that He permits your watohful care to shield them in the perilous years of inexperienced maidenhood, and shed a tear of generous pity over the unfortunate ones, who sadly fall, not to rise again in the line of the seductive temptatioas of city life.
