The Official Vote of Georgia.

The whole number of votes poled for Go- vernon Is 1Ol,497; of which He1schel V John son received 54 476; Garnett Andrews, 43. 75O; $. Il. Overby, 6,26l. Johnson's majority over Andrews is, O,72G; over Andrews and Overbv 4465
 For Congress, Seward, in the first district, has majority of l,638; Crawford, in the second, 593; Trppe in the third, S96; Warner in the fourth, G9; Lunpkin in the fifth, 3,317; Cobb, in the sixth, 3,976; Foster in the seventh PIP, A. Il. Stephens, in the eighth, 2,729 Ot the composition of the legislature there is some difference of opinion. According to the Milledgeville Recorder, the Senate stands 73 democrats to 39 Know Nothngs; the House, 67 democrats, to 6l Know Nothings. and one independent whig-showing democratic ma IJorty of over Co on joint ballot It is believed however, that the democratic majority will even be larger
 The full extent of the democratic victory Ill Gcorsla can only be ascertaned by reference to the Congressional vote. On this subject the Savannah Georgian says:
 | The vote for Congress in the various dis trcts, unaffected as 1t was by the side issue that the prohlbitlonsts raised in the canvass for Co., vernon, will give correct an idea of the ex- tent Of our victory as any other to which we eau refer. The total democratic majorties add up 12,342; total Know Nothing majorities r. 1Oo. Net democratic majority on the vote fol Congress in all the districts eleuen Mousand tauo hundrel ond thirty four, Is not this victory of which to be proud, especially when the Know Nothings boasted before tle election of 65,OOO votes in the State-the Know Nothing noses that they could count in the lodges which would have given them l6,OOO majori- typ

The Catholic Test.

When all other arguments fail it, the Gazette turns its venom against the poor Catholics and the Pope, and endeavors to support the droop- ing prospects of its party, by appealing to the lowest and basest passions of the Protestants. In its last issue, Dr. Borland harps upon the writings of Brownson, and quotes his endorse ment by the Catholic clergy to prove that the Catholics owe and acknowledge the supreme temporal power of the Pope. This endorse ment was obtained before Mr. Brownson, who is fanatic and bigot, advocated the temporal power of the Pope. There is not Catholic Archbishop, Bishop or clergyman, who, with the consent of his church, maintains the civil power of the Pope in this country. Upon this subject here is what Archbishop Kenrick of Baltimore says, in his " vindcation of the Ca- tholic church," page 227:
 "Although I addressed this distinguished publiciSt (Mr. Brownson) in 184G, in terms of high commendation of his zeal and ability in defense of the Catholic faith which he had en- braced but two years before, and the other Bi- shops concurred with me, none of Us thought of rendering ourselves responsible for what ever views he might afterwards entertain, as he himself has recently avOwed most distinctly to correct the abuse made over our signatures. which are represented as implying an unquali- fled endorsement of all his sentiments. Most assuredly l dissent from him, if he claim for the Pope any right to interfere with our civil allegiance. With his full knowledge and en- tire approval, Catholics everywhere pledge and renderit to the government under which they live; knowing that it is duty independent of all ecclesiastical sanction.''
 Who shall we believe-Mr Brownson and Dr. Borland, or the Catholic Bishops them selves? ROGER B. TANEY, Chief Justice of the United States, one of the best and great est men of the republic, one of the purest and most upright, is Catholic Who will mpeach his allegiance? Who will charge him with serving foreign potentate? He has held the highest office (for chief justice is the highest ofice) of the Union for years, and he has faith fully, according to the law of the land, dispens- ed justice to our government and its citizens. He says Catholics owe no civil allegiance to the Pope-he says his oath to support the consti- tuition of the United States, can never conflict with the allegiance he owes to the Pope as the head of his church.
 Will Dr. Borland give Archbishop Kenricks and Chief Justice Taney's views upon this sub- ject, along with the views of his favorte Mr. Brownson? Will he do his fellow-citizens of the Catholic church this small act of justice? We know human nature is fra and full of pre- judice, but man of correct feelings will rem der to his fellow man full justice

State and District Conventions.

me attention ot the democatlc party has been called to the subject of naming a day for holding their conventions in this State. to nomi- nate State and District candidates, by the Eldo- rado Union and the Arkansaw Traveller, and by various county meetings.
 The question of the meeting of the district conventions has been acted upon already by the democracy. In the northern district con. vention of 1851 the following was had:
 "On motion, Bdtesride vas, by ballot, deter. mined to be the place for the meeting of the convention, on the first Monday ca Mag, 1856 In the southern convention the following re- solution was adopted:
 "ResOlvei, That the next democratic oongres. sional convention, for the second district, meet at Camden, on the second Monday in May 1856"
 CAMDEN was stricken out before the adoption of the resolution, and IIoT STRINGS inserted. Of the State convention no ac ton has ever been taken. The southern convention selected the 2d Monday in May for it's meeting under l. belief that the lst Monday in May would Dc the day appointed for the State convention. Were we to give our experience in the mat ter, we should say that the first Monday Tn May would be soon enough. The months of January, February, and March are generally indictment, and no day could be selected in either of them for the meeting of the State convention, with any assurance that the wealth CT would permit general attendance. The month of April is generally busy month with the planters, and for these reasons, the expe- rience of the party had adopted the first Mon- day of May as the most proper day.
 By naming the first Monday of May as the time, and Little Rock as the place of the meet ing of the State convention, and BatesmHe and Hot Springs respectively, as the places, and the second Monday m May, as the time of holding the district conventions we think, would in- sure the party, without any possibility of fail ure, full representation. We do not desire tc insist we only suggest the times and places with the lights we have before us, to our co. temporaries of the democratic press. We should like much to hear their views upon the subject
 The Know Nothing State convention will not make its nominations until the last Mon. day in April and their district conventions will not assemble until the Sd Monday in May. If the democrats adopt the 1st and 2d Mon- days of May for their State and District con- ventions, they will then have a canvass of three months, which we think ample enough. The presidential electors will have SIX months oi canvass.
 The suggestions are the result of the expe- rience of over four years that we have had, as
The true Democrat., 1855-11-27

The telegraph announced the following in New Orleans, which we clip from the Delta:
 England.
 The most important intelligence by the Pa cltic relates to an extraordinary panic in Eng land Tn consequence of rumors having obtained currency of the probability of a war with the United States. The London Times famed the flame by several mendacous editorials. Ex- tras were issded, stating that the American Mi mister had demanded his passports. Energetic protests were heard from all quarters. Mr.. Buchanan was appealed to and denied that the statements had any truth in them. Public feeling then cooled down, though there was still some uneasiness Oh the subject"
 Though the rumors referred to in the abo ve were all false, there is one fact brought to light by their circulation. It is, that the people of England are not by any means disposed for a war with the United States. Protests were heard from all quarters''-" Mr. Buchanan was appealed to-" and after his denial, "public feel ing cooled down."
 The people of England know the cost and consequences of a war with this country. Lord Peterborough, in speech in Parliament, said that if he were asked which was the most wa r. like nation on the globe, he would reply, the United States. The alacrity with which vo- lunteers focked to arms during the Mexican war; demonstrated this fact beyond question.

Is it Possible?

All of our readers know George D. Prentice He is the editor of the Louisville Journal and the leader of the Know Nothing party of Ken lucky. He claims the recent election of Gard . ner, as Governor of Massachusetts, as a Know Nothing victory Gardner is an aboltionist. He is the leading seceder from the Philade phia platform. He boasts that he was the first to spurn it. At Fanueil Hall, he boasted that his party had done more for nigger freedom than any other party. Such is Gardner, and yet Prentice, claiming to be southerner, halls his election as Know Nothing triumph" Here is what he says:
 "The charge that the American party could not carry single northern State has been most signally refuted. Massachusetts is ours. The old Bay State is redeemed The conservative men, the honest patriots and friends of the Union have rallied around their standard bearer, Gardner, and have beat back the forces of black republicanism and gained national Ame- rican triumph"
 Are southerners prepared to follow Prentice, the Know Nothing leader, and throw up their hats for Gardner! Massachusetts IS redeemed!n' From what's she redeemed? Gardner was the last Governor and is now reelected He was an abolitonist then and he is an abolitionist now, and he gories in his abolitonism. Is it not time for southerners to pause and reflect, when they see the Know Nothing leaders shouting over an abolition victory?
 Prentice says, Gardner's election is " q nation al American triumph" Does he contend that abolitionism is national? The northern Know Nothings declare that aboltionism is national and negro slavery is sectional; is this the ground taken by the southern Know Nothings? It is the view Prentice takes of the matter. We say let southerners pause and reflect, or we will soon have abolitionism advocated in our very midst

Yell County.

We received a notice of large mass meet ing, which was to be held on Saturday the 24tE November. As we did not receive it until af. ter our paper was printed and distributed, we o course could not give it publication in time- The meeting being over, to publish it now, would be useless.
 The notice was mailed to us on the 18th inst, and did not reach us until the 22d inst--thus taking ten days between Danville and this place. There is something wrong some where in our mail arrangements.
 We hope our friends had fine meeting not withstanding the failure of the notice The democracy of Yell are all true, and, when the day of reckoning comes, will give faithful and glorious accoet of themselves. They have already dscomfted Sam, and driven him back to his midnight haunts. Yell county is nc place for Sam's operations.
The true Democrat., 1855-11-27
The Arkansas Banks.

We clip the following paragraph from an editorial in the last Chronicle, upon the subject of the removal of Col. Noland:
 "No one, of course, who would write such letter to Governor, would expect any thlng less than just such hoist as the Colonel re- ceived.
 We have come to the conclusion, however, that so far as practical results are to be accom- plished, this removal as we'll as all that courts of chancery may do, will, in the end, prove a sort of tempest in teapot. We incline to the opinion that it would be better to throw both our old banks into the river, than to waste time in fussing with them any longer"
 We would heartily agree with the Chronicle, if, by throwing "both our old banks into the river," we could also pitch in with them the liabilities the State has incurred on their &C., count But that cannot be done. All the banks owe, amounting to millions, the credit of the State is pledged for. What the banks fail to lquidate of their debt, the State must pay or orrepudiate. She has given her bonds. Is tie Chronicle in favor of repudiation?
 With the assets of the banks, if collected and properly applied, their liabilities can be reduced to a sum so small, that the State will be able to meet and pay them without oppres- sing her citizens by onerous taxation. Hence the anxiety of the people to see the banks wound up and their assets applied to redeem ing the bonds of the State. Hence the nstitu- tion of this suit and the requirement. of the trus- tees to settle The time then employed in "fuss- ing with them, 'ifsuch result should be brought about, and it aoW be- is not "waste" There are yet assets enough in the Real Estate Bank, if only applied, to redeem every bond issued by the State on account of the Real Estate Bank.
 The Chronicle is candid paper and gives us a sight into the State policy it favors, as fol. lows:
 It is about time for Arkansas to take tacl, about. She has tried the saving plan long enough, and we should like to see how spend ing regime would suit her."
 Doubtless the Chronicle would like to see its own party-the Know Nothngs-in pow CT. It would then see a "spending regime adopted, in earnest, to its hearts content.
 By a "savng regime" the State, for the first time for years, Is now paying specie at hel treasury. She has redeemed her outstanding scrip, and has yet specie enough in her vaults to pay the current expenses of the year with out the usual resort to an issue of scrip.
 The State is rapidly settling up, large stream of population is constantly pouring in on her wild lands her resources are thus daily augmenting and her revenue yearly increasing Our futureis beginning to open hopefully before us and it would be with the deepest sorrow that we would see "spending regime" adopt ed as our Stae policy, and the State agair plunged into the abyss of debt and repudiation from which she has just now so happily es caped No, we shall oppose all parties who would lnaugurate such policy in Arkansas Away with your "spending regime"-we arr for the saving plan.' We have seen its fruit and admire them

Another Withdrawal.

EDITOR OF THE TRUE DEMocRAr-I wish to acknowledge through your valuable paper, to the world, and the rest of mankind" one error of my life. Some twelve months since joined the Know Nothings-induced to take the step by friends in whom reposed unlimit- ed confidence. 1 was assured it was no whig trick-that it was not to build up party to break down democracy. lam democrat, and without troubling the public with my objections to the Know Nothings in detail, 1 would say that 1 attended only two or three oftheir meet ings, before became satisfied that Know No- thing lodge was no place for democrat The democratic party is the only national party now in existence and the only party a southerner ought to unite with and support
 was told 1 could withdraw honorably when pleased Ii can do so without abuse from the order, it is more than others have been per mitted to do. But 1 care nothing for the abuse hereby declare my total dsconnection with the order, and my determination to re-unite with the democracy-leaving others, who I still esteem, to withdraw or not as their best | judgment may dictate.
 Respectfully,
