The Canvass in Georgia.

Our advices satisfy US Of the rapid gain
Of the Order in this State, az well az of most
enthusiastic support which the National Plat
form has received.
Georgia has done as much for the preserva-
ton Of the Union as any State Of modern days
Strictly divided between the friends Of Union
and those who eontended that the time foi
separation had arrived, Georgia advocated the
Compromise Of 1850 at a critical time and in
a decisive manner. She determined the result
Of the contest for the whole South.
When, therefore, the American Platform
sanctions the Compromise, and gives effect to
some Of its most important provisions, how
cln 1t be that Georgia can be Indifferent to the
result, or forbcar to give effect to her own
actions
We cannot express our surprise--we might
almost add--our concern, that Mr.. Stephens
should be found in opposition to this patriotic
movement of the American party. Who was
more devoted than he to the preservation Of the
Union, and the maintenance Of State rights, as
embodied in the Compromise ofl850? TWAS
to his fearless courage and ability that the sue
c,ss Of the Compromise was, in great part,
due; and yet Mr.. Stephens abandons and OPP
poses the completion of that very measure and
for what because, as alleged in his letter. he OBJ
jccts to the secrecy and obligations ofthe order;
because he chooses to attribute to it purpose
of religious prescription. We presume it would
be in vain to protest against such objections.
II we say that our hostility to Catholicism is
confined to its political tendencies, and does
not impair their rights Of faith or worship, we
should be misunderstood by our opponents.
But we would say to those who stand, like Mr..
Stephens in hostility, to the whole American
movement because it may be perverted to the
oppression of a particular sect, why not waive
your objections to disputed doctrine, and
unite with those who bring safety and peace,
and above all, who come to perfect the work
which you yourselves SO periodically CON-
mcnccd in 1902

FOR THE AMERICAN ORGAN.

81
II will be recollected by most Of your readers
that the delegates from this State to the American
Convention recently held at Philadelphia all bolt
ed the platform adopted by the majority Of thai
convention. In order to show that they, to a very
great extent at least, misrepresented the wishes
and feelings of those they pretended to represent
clip the following statement from the /" Putnam
Republican Banner" most reliable paper, pub
lished in the interior of the State:
''Sams' banner-For the Union, the whole Union,
and nothing but the Union"
Samuel is all right, wide awake, and standing
up"
Under the above banner, the following papers in
Indiana, the true friends of Sam, are now enrolled
and viii zealously support the principles as laid
down by the National American party:
Journal Evansville
/" Gazette" Vincennes
Courier" Terre-Haute.
+" Banner" Madison.
/" Republican" Jeffersonyille.
Tribune" New Albany.
American" Terre- Haute.
True Flag" Salem
Standard" Bedford.
Banner" Greencastle.
The same paper states that the following papers
have deserted the flag of Sam,' and enlisted
under that Of " Sambo," viz:
journal" Indianapolis.
Courier" New Castle.
Press" Decatur.
The former Of these three papers once was a
respectable Wing paper, but has recently changed
hands, and is now no more nor less than the Ma
tonal Era Is here--a bitter abolition sheet. The
second is published in Quaker region, where alb.
olitionism predominates. Of the latter, am un.
informed.
So far, then, we have ten of the leading papers
Of the State for the platform, while three are OPP.
posed to 1.-TWO of which are abolition to the core,
while the third may be slightly tnctured in the
same way. This does very well for State that, in
the last Congress, misrepresented by an entire
Democratic delegation, with but one exception
and which viii be represented in the next Congress
by an entire American delegation with but two ex-
ceptions. The American party will be sustained
in Indiana-mark the prediction.

der Of Professor Clark s. Brown, at Pontotoc, Mis-
sissippi of which we lately made mention, bears
remarkable likeness 10 the case Of Matt Ward and
Professor Butler As the circumstances are mar
rated by letter from the place, it appears that
Brown was native Of New Hampshire, graduate
Of Dartmouth College, and principal of the Pom
totoc Male Academy" A few days previous to
the murder, he punished, for some misdemeanor,
u lad named Carey Wray, about 10 years Of age
John, an elder brother Of the lad, who attended
the same school, was subsequently expelled for
having at the time, II Is alleged, twice threat
ened Professor Brown If he whipped his brother
again. Three days after the occurrence, another
brother, aged Is years, who was studying med-
cine in an Office In the city armed himself with
revolver and bowie knife, went to the academy
and wanted Brown called out but, as he was too
much excited at the time the assistant refused the
request Wray left, saying that he would see him
on his way home ; and at the close Of the session
he met his victim in the public park. He accosted
him rudely, told him that he had imposed upon his
brother, and, when he undertook to reason the
matter, called him by an insulting epitbet, and
aimed blow with his fist at Browns face. The
latter, seeing Wray's weapons as the blow WAS
aimed, raised little riding whip, and prepared
to defend himself Immediately thereupon, Wray
drew his knife and inflicted seven fatal wounds,
which caused Browns instant death. The muir
derer was arrested and committed to prison, but
his friends made vigorous efforts to foresta justice
by promptly securing all the legal counsel the
place affords. Professor Brown leaves young
wife, to whom he had only been married few
months. 2tia

The mandatory Of fine shoe, it is said, will cost

"The machine is so perfect that it is only neces-
sary to place in it two pieces Of sole and upper
leather, and in an incredibly short space Of time
it turns out complete boot shoe as is desired.
We learn that number of capitalists Of this city
are negotiating for the purchase of the patent and
that it is their intention, should they succeed in
securing it, to purchase the Globe Mills, and to
convert them into an extensive boot and shoe
