Ex-Governor Smith and 1Ions Thos.
g. T'lournoy.

We learn, says the Stanton True
American, from the Wative American,
published in Buchanan, Botetourt CO.,
that the mass meeting Of both parties
at that place was addressed by Ex-Go-
vernon Smith and Hon. Thomas S.
Flournoy, on the 18th inst. Each
made speech of an hour and half
with rejoindors of half hour. Both
knights bore themselves quite gallant
ly. Of Mr.. Flournoy the American
says:
Long will Mr.. Flournoy be remem-
bered by the patriotic Americans who
heard him, for his able and brilliant
defence of their cause, and we honest
ly believe that he has done some SER
vice for his country which will tell on
the day of election, in an overwhelm-
ing in this county for Fillmore, the
Constitution and the Union. And the
Democrats, we are quite sure, will not
soon forget tho 10th Of October.

New ORLEANS, Oct. 90 The steam.

from thence.
Gen. Walker, finding the enemy ad.
vancing on Mlassaya. withdrew tho small

1000 strong at once occupied the place.
Gen. Walker then, leaving small
force at Granada. advanced towards
Massaya with 1000 men, and met the

AN Tgonest Confession,

Hon. Francis Granger, in his speech
at Philadelphia on Thursday last, made
the following remark: ..
Yesterday, when it was supposed
that this State had certainly been car
ricd by the Democratic party, & when
| reflected that whatever might be the
majority by which that ticket was cleo
led, it was not one half 50 large as the
number Of voters that had been made
within the last sixty days in your own
city, not one of whom was born on the
soil where he voted, | confess to you 1
was almost converted and ready to en-
roll myself member Of the American
party. (Applause.) confess to you
there arc matters connected with this
question, when brought to bear upon %
single point like that which now pre-
sents itself, which should call on every
man born in these United States, to
know whether there is not something
due to American birth and American
citizenship. (Checrs.)
Mr.. Granger is an old Wing, and not
n member Of the American party. Yet
the conviction Of the necessity of the
American party will, it seems, force it.
self upon his mind. .....

ONWARD TO vxcxoax.\

We received, II few nights, ago, a
fcongratulatory letter, from the "Na-
tional Fillmore ard Donclson Rooms,
Washington, (0ct. ~" and we take
pleasure in publishing few extracts,
although the letter was not designed
particularly for publication:
"The smoke of the battle in Penn
sylvania has cleared away sufficiently
to devclope most gratifying state Of
things connected with that contest
The Senate and probably the Assembly
are both against the BUCCANEERS, and
the result in the State mere nothing,
notwithstanding the stupendous frauds
practised and the discreditable means
used by that party to secure success.
Not less than twenty thousand Ameri-
cans, and an equal number of Old Line
Wings refused positively to support a
mixed ticket, who have since signifed
their intention to stand by and vote for
the American electoral ticket, and thou
sands of professed Republicans, who
prefer Mr.. Fillmore to the Cincinnati
Platform, will wheel into line before
the 4th day of November; indeed pre-
sent appearances indicate n unanimous
and unparalleled sentiment in behalf
OF the conservative National American
electoral ticket. We have not the
shadow of a doubt of the result in Ma
ryland, Pennsylvania, New York, New
Jersey, Massachusetts, and California,
and if Kentucky, Tennessee, and Lou
isiana, will honor draft for thirty
votes in favor of Fillmore and DonelsoD,
(and who can doubt but they willy, we
have capital, ut least, equal to Mr..
buchanan, and be enabled to consign
to eternal oblivion the mischievous and
fanatlcal factions who seek to DESTROY
our beloved institutions and sever the
cords which bind together our beloved
and glorious Union.
The result in Indiana has so para
yzcd the Fremonters that they will
not make even n respectable show in
Pennsylvania, New York 4 N. Jersey.
These are no idle speculations, but
the result of careful investigation, bas-
cd, in part, upon q most extensive cor
rcspondence with shrewd and calcula-
ting members Of the party in the States
named, which we believe, you will find
fully corroborated by the official result
when reported. The contest is, thore-
fore, between Mr.. Fillmore and Mr..
Buchanan, and 1t as for tie South to
decide a0hich Of tile tao they prefer.
There never has been within our re-
collection n canvass in Pennsylvania
where cheating, {ying, stealing, 6ribing
and Stirling occupied so prominent a
position as in the recent one in that
State, and still, notwithstanding these
predomnating and natural advantages
Of the Bogus Democracy, our cause,
pure National Amcricanism, stands
head and shoulders above them, and in
fair contest can defeat them"

JUDGE TuoMpsoN's CHARGE.

The Pctersburgh Intelligcncer de.
nounccs charge recently delivered by
Judge George w. Thompson to a
grand jury in the county of Brooke,
in which he expatiates on treason, &c.
as, in truth, mere political speech for
party purposes, as enunciating tyrani-
col doctrines, contrary to the Constitu.
ton an Laws and calls upon the Legis-
laturo to impoach him. Judge Thomp.
son was violent Anti Slavery man
years ago, and now seems disposed to
make amends by being equally as vio-
lent on the other side.

Buchanan, Fillmore, Fremont,

There ale, at present no other three
men in the whole universe, to which the
eyes of SO many thousands. in this coun-
try and in Europe are directed, who are
the theme of so general conversation,
party warfare and excitement. From
the Atlantic to the Pacific, from the
northern lakes to the Gulfof Mexico, ev-
erything is in fever heat, men, women,
and children, all one anticipation, every
political nerve is strained to its utmost
capacity. The three generals have their
armies in the field, ready for the great
and last decisive battle. Who will be
the victor? No human being can tell
now. But is it not strange that those
three men and their folio wers, who op-
pose one another so bitterly, is it not
straDgawe repeat, that those men should
be united on one common opinion ? And
what is that you will ask' Well dear

OPPONENTS of SECTIONALISM

OPPONENTS of SECTIONALISM!
In this, the last number of our paper
that will reach our readers before the
Presidential contest will be decided, we
should be false to our duty, and false
to the patriotic promptings of our in
most soul, did we not urge, again, upon
the friends Of Union, peace, quiet, and
wise government, to WORK for VIC
TORY until the last vote is pollcd on
TUESDAY NEXT.
We cannot better appeal to Fillmore
men, Americans and Wigs, than to
adopt the language of the American
\ Central Committee of Pennsylvania:
Conscious of the danger which now
menacos tho institutions of our coun-
try, and feeling more certain than ever
that the safety Of the American Union
must depend on Il full and patriotic
support OF the whole people, and see
ing that the present moment calls loud
~ for prompt and decided movement,
we appeal to every lovcror his country
10 come with us and sustain lis in our
action. .....
Our platform is our whole country
--our prime! pies, the peoples good, and
OR action, the defence Of the Union.
Omitted N action, determined to save
no Constitution and build up anew the
principles for which our fathers fought
rnl Jlcd, we cordially invite all nation
n men to mite with US in breaking
down the barrier Of cxtrcmeism on ei-
Their side. The tmo for action has ar
rived, and now if ever We must make
q bold stand to save the country from
the evils Of disunion on the one hand,
and sectional fanaticism on the other.
Upon this issue hangs our internal
strength as people, and our external
power against foreign cncroachment.
BY standing firm, we build up the fu-
turc prosperity of our true national
principles.
We seek no undue privileges or ia
voritism; VIC give no countcnance to
Tho rabid disunionists of the day, but
maintain the justice and right, com
bincd with the equal privilege due to
every frcc-born son of America.
Feeling assured Of the certain de-
feat Of those candidates who represent
The two extremes Of disunion and Sec
t;onal fanaticism, (Which is now openly
admitted by the leaders of each, and
besirous, while the country's integrity
and character can yet be made mani
fest to the world, through an election
by the peoplc,wc call upon the nation
al and conservative, who have hereto
forc been allied to either of those par
tics, to unite with us upon WILLARD

possesses the confidence of the nation
His qualifications as statesman
have been well tried; the soundncss of
his judgment is admitted by all !; his
integrity to the Union finds response

lie has once carried the slip Of State
safely through the perls OF sectional
strife. and we look upon him now as
the Gully candidate in whose hands We
san feorlcssly place the roins of GOV.

Surely conservative men must rally
when the issues Of national peace or
sectional discomfort arc before them.

The National Iatelligencer says:

Without undertaking to draw any in
vidious comparison among the candi.
dates for tho Presidency now placed be.
fore tho country by their respective
supporters, we state an argument as
well as an historical fact when we say
that one of them possesses the pecu-
liar advantage of having been already
tried in the very station to which it is
proposed again to elevate him. And
the simple fact that such peculiarly
conlers an advantage on his pretensions
constitutes in itself an eloquent appeal
in his favor. From Mr.. Fillmore the
country has received an earnest ofwhat
it may reasonably expect should he be
again raised to the post which he has
already filled with such signal ability,
propricty, and success, and in the dis
charge of which he received not only
the applause of friends, but extorted
the praises of political opponents.
If Mr.. Fillmore needed any other
attcstation to his claims than may be
found in the records of his past admin
istrative career, we might seek for it
perhaps in the motives which influence
some to oppose him, no less than in the
considerations which others allege in
his behalf; for we observe in the speech
of a distinguished gentleman of the
South-the chief orator at public
meeting comprising the leading polti-
clans and statesmen of that section
that his objection to Mr.. Fillmore and
his reasons for declining to support him
Is the 'tear that he aoould do so aoell as
to throD back tile prospects Of disun-
aon." What higher eulogy than this
could the partisans of Mr.. Fillmore
suggest, and what an emphatic argu-
ment it is in his favor, that his oppo-
nents can find nothing in his success
more dangerous to fear than the con-
servation of our greatest political bles-
sing under the Constitution?
The value of experience and of pro-
we'd capacity would seem to be more
highly appreciated among us in every
department and walk of life than in af-
fairs of the State, and in matters of
practical administration under Gov
eminent as remarkable for the com
pleXity as for the harmony of its ar
engagements. Nobody would be so in
discreet as to commit professional or
mechanical commission to one who had
not by some previous training quail
fled himself for the task; yet how many
are willing to con6de the highest Off
cial trust and the most delicate affairs
OF State to untried and inexperienced
hands! But, if the value of experience
in civil affairs is liable to be underrat-
cd or overlooked, it is none the less
important, nor the folly less in disrc-
garding its claims especially when cou-
pied, as in the case of Mr.. Fillmore,
with principles and qualities of cardinal
and peculiar value to the Republic at
the present political juncture.

MIR. FILhMoRE's PROSPECT.

The Nashville Patriot speaks thus
encouragingly ofMr. FILLMoRE's pros
pect:
Mr.. Fillmore is the nominee of q
great party, strong in the business of
its cause, strong in it's hold upon the
hearts OF the masses, strong in the
great names of its champions, strong
numerically and strong morally. His
nomination is received by the great
body of the people of all parties, as
the thirsty soil receives the grateful
rain. Sick at heart, and weary of the
little partizan whose policy has disturb
ed the public mind and distracted the
peace of the country, they turn to him
for relief. Every sign is glorious
augury that he will be indicted into
the chair he once honored amid the joy
full acclamations Of the nations
