THE AMERICAN" MEETING.

The '.Whig' of last week contains a re-
port of the proceedings of the ratification
meeting of the friends of Fillmore & Dom
elson, h Id at the court house, in this place,
on the goth ult. The resolutions contain no
reference to the political opinions of the
men recommended for the Presidency and
Vice Presidency. This was q wise omis-
sion; for on all the old issues which have
heretofore divided parties, Fillmore & Don
elsOn are as wide apart as the poles; and Oh
the new questions in reference to the Kan
sasNebraska bill, its repeal the restora-
ton of the antislavery ''line,' and ques-
tons connected with the Kansas agitation,
Mr.. Fillmore's sentiments are not known.
Not knowing the opinions of their candi-
date for the Presidency on these important
questions, of course they could not venture
to give expression to their own views, lest
they might hereafter be found in conflict
with those of their candidate. Indeed, it
may well be doubted whether they know
fully their own sentiments, until Mr.. Fill
more shall be heard from. The National
American Platform" which had recently
been curtailed of the 18TH section to
make it acceptable to Northern Know-No-
things, and it may be, to enable Mr.. Fill
more to stand upon it, was endorsed; and
the nomination of Messrs. Fillmore and
Donelson hailed as "a hopeful promise of a
fruitful illustration of the great principle
that henceforth none but Americans shall
rule America" This ''henceforth,' - implies
that heretofore Americans have not ruled
America" but nothing more can be meant
than a declaration that "Americans'' of
certain political stripe have not heen allow
ed to rule" This ratification meeting,''
like all others in the South for tho same
purpose, was a complete failure in point of
numbers and enthusiasm. Itwas more like
a meeting to bury Fillmore and Donelson,
than a gathering to bring to life these de-
funct politicians.

as my work is finished, which will be some
time in April, shall come to Missouri, and
of course shall have to speak-to what ex-
tent l do not know-but certainly only for
the general purpose of aiding my friends

view to a personal consequence. Congress

run down too low to have any attraction for
me. i spent thirty years of my life in a

debates of Congress from 1889 to 1850; also,
to continue my history from 1850 to the

me, and of more dignity Ito say nothing of

of both parties, and which, in my opinion,
is to end disastrOusly for the Union, let

connected with the agitation, is what the

MIR. BUCHANAN'S POSITION ON
THE KANSAS BILL,

Some discussion having taken place upon
the position of Mr.. Buchanan on the Kansas
Nebraska bill, we are permitted to copy,
says the Washington Union of Friday, the
following extract from letter addressed by
Mr.. Buchanan to Senator Slidell, dated at
London, on the 2Sth of December last, when
there seemed to be no difference as to Mr..
BIS thorough identity with the Democratic
party on all other issues. I will be seen
that Mr.. B. speaks of the KansasNebraska
bill with lis usual frankness and decision.
We are confirmed in our impression by this
newspaper, are at all warranted to speak
authoritatively for Mr.. Buchanan upon this
or upon any other question. His own words
speak for themselves.
The question has been settled by Con-
gress, and this settlement should be inhexi-
bly, maintained. The Missouri Compromise
Is gone, and gone forever. But no assault
should be made upon those democrats who
maintainedit, provided they are now willing
IN good faith to maintain the settlement as
1T exists. Such an understanding is wise
and just in itself. 1t is well known how l
labOred in company with Southern men to
have this line extended to the Pacific ocean.
But it has departed. The time for it has
passed away, and [ verify believe that the
beSt--nay, the Only-mOde now left of
putting down the fanatical and reckless
spirit of abolition at the North is to adhere
to the existing settlement without the slight
est thought or appearance of wavering, and
without regarding any storm which may be
raised against it,

LETTER FROM COL. BENTON.

WASHINGToH, March i, 1856.
My Dear Sir: | have to thank YOU for
your kind letters and for all the friendly
sentiments expressed, and of these the per-
sonal part is the most agreeable. The
personal feelings of my friends towards me
is what | have most to cherish hereafter. l
never saw the day l would be willing to be
a candidate for the Presidency, and am now
farther from it than ever. No earthly con-
Sidcration could make me candidate. The
Senate was once agreeable to me, when
there was q chance to do something for the
State or the United States. But that chance
seems now to be over, and all craftsmanship
reduced to a hurralf on one side or the other
OF slavery. Even local interests in our
state seem to be crushed under it-as the

RIO-GRANDE. In

A RARE OPPORTUNITY is now presented
N for the farmers and all admirers of good
horses, in this section of the country, TO improve
their Stock.
RIO-GRANDE is one of the finest and purcst
blooded horses i'll the world, as will be seen by
reference to the English and American records of
his pedigree He is directly descended from the
very purest and best stock in England and Anne
RIGA, as the following pedigree vii! show:
RIO-GRANDE is by Billy Harris, ont of Lady
Morgan. Billy Harris was by Monsieur Tonson,
be by Pacolct, dam by Madam Tonson, by FL
lots Top Gallant: grand dam by BaIrcy's Med
ley; Top Gallant by Gallatin; Barrey's Medley
by Medley" Lady Morgan, the dam Of Rio
Grandc, was by John Richards her dam by inn
ported Expedition; her grand dam by Bella Bed
gers Sin Solomon; great grand dam Aurora, by
imported Honest John; great great grand dam
Zelippa, by imported Messenger; g. Q. g. grand
dam Dido, by imported Bay Richmond; 6. G. G.
g. grand dam Stamerlin, by imported Wildair;
2 e. 9. 9. Q. grand dam by import, d Cub
4 iel, the dam Of Billy Harris, was by American
Eclipse; her dam by Financier; grand dam by
Empress, by imported Baronet great grand dam
by imported Messenger; her dam by Snap, out of
Jenny Outer, by True Briton; her dam Quaker
Lass, by imported Juniper, out of the imported
Molly Pacolet, by imported Pacolet; Molly Pac
Diets dam by imported Spark out of Queen Nab.
American Eclipse was by DurOc; his dam the
famous mare Miller's Damscl, by imported
Messenger out of the imported Pot S-ooooonoo's
imported Diomede, out of Mr.. Mosby's 'cXtraor-
binary race mare Amanda" by Col. Taylor's
famous Gray Diomede, son of imported Medley.
1t is deemed unnecessary to extend back any
farther the pedigree Of Rio-Grande, although it
can be fully traced in the English Records back
to a very long period of time.
RlO-GRANDE is unqUcstiOEably one among
the finest horses in the whole Southern country.
His stock are of fine size, remarkably well form
ed, durable, and easily managed. Testimonials
from the very best rasers Of Stock in South Caro-
lima, fully sustain all and morethan is here stated
concerning Rio-Grande. He is undoubtedly an
extra fine horse in every respect. There is not
single drop of coarse or impure blood in his
veins.

MOUNT VERNON.

On our first page will be found a letter
from the proprietor of Mount Vernon, say
ing that it is not for sale. Notwithstanding
this statement, writer in the alexandria
Gazette says that Mr.. Washington acW sell
Mt. Vernon estate to the State Of Virginia,
Virginia. the writer says, was not included
in the recent letter of Mr.. Washington to
a South Carolina lady, in which he stated
that Mt. Vernon was not for sale. The
Gazette expresses the belief that the writer
states accurately Mr.. Washington's views
on the subject. Mount Vernon, then IS for
sale-and Mr.. Washington should have so
stated,-if Virginia will become the pur-
chaser.

hundred for the kidnapper and proof of his
guilt.
A suspicious character, about six feet high
and % years old, with brown Jeans homespun
dress on, and light HAIR and eyebrows and
blue eyes, has been about this place 3 or
days, and it may be that he is the kidnapper.
