HUMPHREYS OBSERVES
Knoxville, Oct. l6, 1856


MEssRs EDITORS We had Hon. ROBERT TooMBs
with US yesterday. He is in excellent health and
spirits, and was therefore in good condition to SUBJ
init to our people bis whitening and blasting argu.
ment against the black republican party of the
North and their snti-Kansas-ar Nebraska allies
in the South. The great idea which he enforces
with massive thoughts, with bold and fervid ora
tory, and with an intrepidity of manner have
never before witnessed is that tie equality of citi-
zenship, guaranteed by constitution is asserted
in the Kansas aud Nebraska act and that the as.
saults upon this act are attacks upon that great
Constitutional principle which no citizen can sur
render without dishouor, and to preserve and per-
petnste which s the only purpose of our Union
He favored no concessions to the foe of this
principle, enough has already been corcsded and
should the issue now or hereafter be forced upon
him either to submit to nferorty of citizenship or
surrender his life, he preferred not to live. The
outbursts of applause with his speech throughout
was received, gave unmistaksable indication of the
congeniaty of sentiment on the part of the orator
and his hearers.
Col. Sneed OF this place, followed him in limp.
ing, rambling difusive speech of two hours at no
time attempting to reach the height of the Senators
great argument.
Mr.. Toombs rejoined for half hour, when eve.
ry sentence that he uttered was stem strike" and
do not suppose that during this canvass In any
State of the Union, a speaker has been SO COM
pletely overwhelmed as was the valiant Colonel,
whose courage may be comm ended by his friends,
but whose discretion is certainly very questions.

1t affords me pleasure to say to you, that Sena.
tor Toombs will be with you at your mass meet
ing on the 2lst. He speaks to-day at Dalton, to-
morrow at Atlanta, from thence he will 20 to

"Now, when it is recoected tnat we have only
about l3 900 voters in the State this change is
certainly very nearly, if not entirely, without
parallel The most ssnguine of the democrats
were really surprised at the result. Although
they had no doubt about carrying the State, yet
such majority was evidently unexpected But
Union and constitutional men of all political per.
suasions have been DESERVING their former asso.
ciates and joining our ranks by scores. Old line
wings, men mised by the fsnsticisms of the times
and many of those formerly entrapped in the wiles
of know nothingsm, becoming convinced of the
deception practcsd upon them, have boldly come
forward in defence of the party whose principles
and measures time and experience have demon
strated to be sound and reliable, equally conducive
to individual and to the public welfare

made to take fifteen hundred men to Philadelphia
on an excursion about the 14th inst" it is shrewd
ysuspected that he is at bis old tricks again. Yet,
as quality is said to be good bad, or Indifferent By
comparison, Mr.. G's conduct is fearless pattern
of patriotism when compared with that of one of
the Indiana candidates for the Fremont electoral
college. The Charlottesville paper publishes the
following bit of information:
"No longer than LAST weeks man residing in
the vicinity of Orbe-lin College, ia the State of
Ohio gave his only daughter in marriage to sooty
African who had been educated at this Abolition
institute This man, we understand, is State

as being extremely beautiful and but sixteen years
of age, while her dusky lord is blscker than the

Hon. Julian C. verplsnck, one Of the old-ine
whig champions of this State has taken the field
for Buchanan and Breckenridge.
The democracy of Connecticut takes new cour-
age at the result Of the late town elections in that
State. The gallant ToUOEY is stumping it from
county to county. They had torch. light process
sion at New Haven on Thursday night which was
two miles in length.
There is an arrival from California to- day, with
more than two millions of treasure San Francisco
was as quiet ss q country village. Accounts from
the mining regions are most favorable. The DEM
ocrstic State Convention had nominated for Con.
gress Joseph McKibben and Charles l.. Scott.
Gov. Foote and Bsilie Peyton were stumping the
State for Fillmore. The Herald expresses its be-
lief that California will vote most decidedly for
Buchanan. The ladies' had presented Judge Terry
with costly silver pitcher. Hon. Mr.. Herbet had
been requested by petitions to leave the State.

for rejoicing that the vile disgusting and loath-

AUTUMN.
BY ALICE GRAY.

Through my window shows thu stain
Of the oak, grown redely sore;
Autumn frost, and Autumn rain,
Fall . month too soon this year
Fall month too soon, my dear.
Were you sitting near 10 me,
0my friend, this dreary day.
BrOwnest fields would see N TO be
Sweet with spsckled drinks, and hay,
And the naples, twice as gay.
In their yellow caps they stand,
Down the ridges, two by tive,
Looking very proud and grand,
AS flood had made them new
As should be, loved by you.
From its bower of biting throns.
Will the sweet-brier break ia May.
| like a thousand little morDs
TO one round and rosy day.
Never, with my my love away.

that one hundred recruits go down on the steamer

THE GLORIOUS DEMOCRATIC VICTORY IN DEL.
AWARE.

AWARE.
The Delaware State Reporter thus notices the
brilliant triumph achieved by the democracy of
that patriOtio.litte State on Tuesday last:
"Never, since Delaware was State, has such
a majority ever been given by any party as the
democrats gained on Tuesday. Every county and
almost every hundred in the State went demo-
crstic--most of them by msjorities unpreceden-
teddy Target In New Castle the majority is 73O
in Kent 474, and in Sussex 625-makipg an ag-
gregate of 1929. Our opponents are utterly dis
comfted everywhere. And we'll they may be, for
such change in two years we believe can hardly
be said ever to have occurred anywhere. At our
last election, which was held ia November, 1854,
they beat US 10 every county, carrying the State
by then almost unexampled majority OF nine
hundred.

PRESIDENT PIERCE.

The honorable and cordial attention (ssys the
Boston Posi- paid to the President of the United
States during his journey east and in numerous in
stances the afTectonate regard and enthusiastic
greetings with whsh he has been received, are
singing rebukes to those ruthless grovelng fac
tionists at Concord, New Hampshire, and other
pisces, who underworld to excite the populace to
acts Of insult towards the Chief Magistrate of the
nation. The favorable impression produced upon
the public mind by the President, wherever the
people have GENE in contact with him, has dispei-
Led the clouds of calumDy which his unprincipled
traducers had raised to obscure his true character,
and excited strong and earnest reaction in his
favor, which is following his whole path from
Washington to Concord. No Chief Magistrate
has been more unjustly misrepresented and IL
bsI!ed than Gen. PuRcE; but the day will soon
come when Justice will be rendered his private
and public character on the page Of history, and
his record as a man and a magistrate stand forth
as one of the proudest evidences of American ps,
triotisun. honor and craftsmanship.

CAPT. YrI.LIAms.


The article in the Patriot relative to the mail
contracts of this gentleman, is, we think, greatly
beneath the usual dignity Of that paper. Capt.
WILLIAMS has performed full service for the money
he has received We do not see why the fact that
a man has been engaged in carrying the United
States mails should disfrauchiss Kim IF the
rule is to be adopted, it would silence some of the
Patrsots men nearer bone, who are working very
efficiently on the other side Besides, does not the
Patriot claim that Fillmore is certain to be electedf
And if Capt. WILLIAMS is the selfish man that
paper iusinuates, would be not, if the Patriot is
correct, sustain FIlngores Surely, it must admit
thst Fillmore win not be President, or else that
Capt. WILLIAMS is above oil selfish considerations.
When the election is all over the Patriot will be
mortified at its course 10 regard to Capt. WILLIAMS.
