American Meeting in Jasper.
JASPER, Pickens County, Geor,

JASPER, flcRens county, Ge0fgla.
At meeting of citizens friendly to the election
of Millard Fillmore and Andrew j. Donelson, the
candidates recently nominated by the American
Convention, at Macon, for the Presidency and
Vice Presidency of these United States, the fol-
lowing proceedings were had
Rev. G. r. Edwards was called to the chair,
and M. H. West appointed Secretary.
The chairman explained the object of the meet
ing III few pertinent remarks.
James Simmons, Esq, was then called for, who
responded in a short speech, in which he advoca-
ted the claims Of the American nominees After
another short speech the following resolution was
adopted.
ReSol0ed, That the meeting cordially ratify and
endorse the platform principles recently adopted
by the American party of the State of Georgia at
the city of Macon, and, as we look upon Nilard
Fillmore as the only true national man before the
people for the Presidency, and as he has ever been
true to the Constitution and the Union, we will
cheerfully support him for the Presidency in No
vcmber next And, as we look upon Andrew j.
Donelson as a high.minded man, and a distinguish
ed statesman, and true friend TO his country, we
will support him for the Vice Presidency.
The resolution was adopted without dissent
ing voice.
On motion, the proceedings hf the meeting were
requested to be published in the Amertcdn Organ.
The meeting then adjourned.

More RO0ksI

Mr.. Stephens, of Georgia, made an inetfect-
ual attempt on yesterday to pass resolution
to purchase from Messrs. Gales & Seaton 1900
copies of the American State Papers" each
copy composed of twenty volumes, the price
of which is so per volume, amounting to the
snug sum of four hundred thousand dollars |
Our contemporaries will be fortunate if such a
resolution should pass 1t is understood that
the Dem ocratic Senate attached to an appro-
priation bill last night the substance of Mr..
Stephens's resolution, and we suppose the
mOney-saDing Democrats of the House will
adopt it, Our neighbors are worthy gentle
men, and the document is valuable one, but
will its purchase at this time be approved by
the people?
A strange rumor is in circulation, to-wit I;
that the LatelligeRcer will soon come out for
Mr.. Buchanan. We can hardly believe this,
and more especially in view of the letter of
Gov. Brown, of June 18th, detailing his con-
versation with Mr.. Buchanan, in which this
gentleman advanced opinions on the Cuban
question, and "squatter sovereignty" Kansas
bill, directly the opposite of those uniformly
held by the IntelJigeacer! We have under
stood that circumstances might arise in
which that press would support Mr.. Buchanan.
We hope they are not likely TO arise
Daily American organ., 1856-08-16

as matter of fact, can it be gainsayedi There
isn't man that dare deny il.
It has bean said that comparisons are odious,
and, in connexion with this matter. let us see how
Mr.. Buchanan and his party stood before the last
Presidential election. In the same speech, before
quoted We find him saying in reference to the
Democratic party, that
"They everywhere speak the same language.
The fnality of the Compromise in all its parts is
everywhere an article of their political faith. Their
candidate, General Pierce, has always openly
avowed his sentiments on this subject"
How well this pledge was kept is matter OF
history; and would not call attention to it but
for the purpose of asking Gov Jones if he can
rely upon the promises of Mr.. Buchanan in refer
ence to the Kansas Nebraska question, and if he
has no reason to apprehend that he may, If he
finds it politically necessary, change bis front as
readily as before?
To do it, would certainly only be consistent with
the inconsistency of the gentleman whose coat il
is said has been turned at least once year from
the Hartford to the 0stend Conventions and, for
our part, we are much of the opinion that that
which is true in religion, holds good in politics
that we should judge man rather by his actions
than his professions and who can say that Mr..
Buchanan is not just as ready to cry good devil
as good Lord?
The Governor was equally unfortunate in attempt
ing to disprove the charge against Mr.. Buchanan
in the bargain and sale intrigue, and acquitted him
at the expense of General jackson, result which
| we hardly think the Democrats thank him for,
though it will doubtless serve their purposes much
better than the other horn of the dilemma.
| The Governor says Mr.. Buchanan will be bit.
ter pin but really would think, from the read
mess with which he swallows him, Cincinnati plat
form and all, that he is used to taking strong
medicine, for instance, General Scott in 1882 OF
else that he is sick and requires it. We hope the
people of Tennessee will give him as much of it as
he can stand, and that, too, not in broken doses

The Ostend Manifesto.

We re-publish to-day the famous Ostcnd
Manifesto, containing the doctrine of the fill
clustering Democracy, as promulgated by Mon-
seur Soule, cold Squatter Sovereign" /" and our
Representative in PaIis-endorsed by the Gin
cinnati onvention,-adopted by the "harmo-
NOUS Democracy" of the country, and which
will be carried into operation, if (aye NJ the
present dynasty shall be perpetuated. If we
are not misinformed as to the paternity of this
Manifesto, it ought to be styled the 8ichIes and
Sanders league The origin of the doctrine
is much older than these "young Americans,
vet they are entitled TO the honor @ of giving
it political appropriation.
The dying Indian chief half-civilized, half
savage, was the first, who, so far as our mem
ory serves US, solemnly inculcatcd the doctrines
of the Sickles and Sanders league, alias the
"Ostend Manifesto" Calling his son to the
couch on which he was expiring, he performed
the duty of giving him his last advice, as thus
"My son, get money!" "My son, get money
honestly, If you can" /" BUT GET MONEY!
The Sickles and Sanders league proclaims to
the world-"We will have Cuba-wc viii
have Cuba honestly if we car, but WE WILL
HAVE CUBA ~ ...
Well, we have no objection to the acquisi'
ton of Cuba, by any fair and honest contract
with Spain-no objection to its acquisition
"honestzy," but the AighDay-rob6e'y doctrine
of the Siclxles and Sanders league, it does not
in our Judgment, just now become the govern
ment of the United States to adopt. If Young
America" can afford to wait few years, (aud
we rather think he mast,) it is quite likely that
the acquisition of Cuba can be honestly ,
brought about, and the character of our coun'
try not be sacrificed to crafty the yowng mans
ambition Read and ponder upon the Os,
tend Manifesto |"

slave are disturbers of the peace, sectonasts, and
enemies of law and order, and the constitution.
+" Resolved That every man enjoying (no matter
in what corner of the vast territory of the Union)
the privilege of American citizenship, should blush
to be made, by law of Congress, catcher or
ailer of fagtive slaves, and that, too, merely for
the profit of minority of arfstocratic and liberty
hating shareholders.
Resolved That every American who trembles
at the threats of the slave power, gives evidence
Of cowardce, and that the resolution OF the late
Cincinnati old-line convention which follows, Is
false, and bitter mockery, to wit Non-inter-
ference by Congress with slayeryin State and Ter
ritory or in the District Of Columbia.
Resolved, That the Fugitive Slave law is VI
olation of the laws of nature and humanity, and
| therefore ought to be repealed
"ResoLUed That as the firm friends of Ameri-
can progress and liberty, our adopted felow-cti-
zens be requested to cooperate with us in making
Kansas free; that we side with the Republican
Democratic party for the non-extension OF slavery
| and do hereby pledge ourselves to cast our votes
for Fremont and freedom.
"Resolved, That the above resolutions be hand
ed over by the Secretary to the Journal, for pub
| licaton.
81. OAKLEY, Chairman.
a. NEuTGENs, Secretary"
These resolutions, thus unanimously adopt
ed, were published in the Indianapolis Journal,
and they are literally copied from that journal
Now, although we know nothing personally
of the political antecedents of those who formed
that meeting, we venture the assertion that
every man of them had belonged to the sham
Democracy--to that pseudo Democratic party
which has protsssed to be the allies Of the
South Will the sham Democrats, the squat
ter sovereigns" of the South, please give us
their opinions of these foreignersP
One more question to our "sqaatter soyer-
eign" friends of the South. What do they
think of the prospects of the sham Democracy
in the Northwest, when shorn of the foreign
element there, which, in many portions of that
section, equals the whole native population 7
Another question, if we "doa't intrude." !"
What do the Southern "squatter sovereigns"
think of the election of Frank Blair, Jr., in
St Louis, Missouri, over that national and
patriotic man, J.. NJ. Kennett, in which con-
test over two thousand hard Buchanan Dem,
ocrats threso asoay their Votes and permitted
Mr.. Blair to be elected?

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.
SATURDAY, August Is, 1856.

On motion of mr.. COBB, of Hsorgia, it was or.
dered that recess be taken irom halt,psst f7urto
seven O'clock.
Mr.. GIDDlSGs Of Ohio, made an peffaotuaI
effort to 90 into Committee of the Whole on pri.
vate bills after which the House resumed the con-
sideration OF the bill making appropriations for
the transportation of the mail by ocean stean.er
and otherwise /; the question being on the amend
ment adopted in the Committee Of the Whole di.
recting the Secretary of the Navy to give notice
to terminate the additional allowance 10 the Col
Inns line.
The question was taken, and the amendment
was agreed to--yeas IA, nays %.
The bill was then read third time and passed.
Mr.. GlDDlNGS, of Ohio, then again moved that
the House go into Committee Of the Whole on
the private calendar; which motion was agree to.
The House thereupon vent into committee, and
proceeded to consider tho bills on the private call
endar all those to which no objection was made
being laid aside to be reported to the House with
the recommendation that they pass, aud those OBJ
jected to being passed over for future consdera-
ton.
Three bills only were laid aside when the com.
mittee rose and the said bills were passed.
On motion Of Mr. CAMPBELL. of Ohio, the
House took mp the amendments Of the Senate 10
the civil appropriation bill, and proceeded to dis-
pose OF them under the operation of the previous
question.

Governor Jones, General Scott, and MIR
buchanan.

| To show the Inconsistency of Governor Jones
who declares his intention to support Mr.. Buchan.
an for the Presidency, we give few extracts from
a speech of the latter delivered before the De-
mocracy of Greensburg, Pennsylvania, October
7th, 1852, in advocacy of the election of General
PIERCE
"To secure the vote of Pennsylvania was one
| OF the main inducements for the nomination OF
| General Scott over the head of Mllard Fillmore
Is there one anprejmdiced citizen Of any party an
the United States aoho can lay has hand upon has
heart and declare that he believes General Scott
,co,tld make as good and as safe a President as
| Mr.. Fillmore? No. feow-citizens, all of US must
concur in opinion with Mr. Clay, that Fillmore had
superior claims and qualifications to those of Scott
| for the highest civil station Availability, and
availability alone, produced the nomination of
Scott"
Again:
"He was anxious to secure the votes of the
Free.soil Wings of the Seward school, in the ma
tional convention.
"Mr. Fillmore, his competitor had spoken out
like man in favor of the Compromise, and had
thus done his duty to his country he was, for this
very reason, rejected by the Whig National Con-
vention and Gen. Scott was nominated by the
votes and influence Of the Northern Free-so
Wings"
but tue NOTbHcIH FreG-SOleIs Hdu uOI quite
sufficient strength to secure his nomination. To
render this certain il was necessary to enlist
small detachment of Southern Wing Delegates
To attain this object Gen. Scott had merely to
write a brief note to Mr.. Archer" I"
"This pledge, which, on its face, was intended
exclusively for Gov. Jones' Mr.. Bolts, Mr.. Lee,
&c, all of them Southern Wings, proved suffi-
cent to detach small division of the wing of this
party from Mr.. Fillmore, and these uniting with
the whole body of Northern Free-soilers, succeed
cd in nominating Gen. Scott"
Now, think that this showing does not place
Gov. Jones in a very consistent position.
He supported Gen. Scott, yet cannot support
Fillmore, who, Mr.. Buchanan says, is a much safer
man than Scott.
He opposes Mr. Fillmore because he was op.
posed to the repeal of the Missouri Compromise
1t is enough to say to this that the larger portion
Of the Whig party we're opposed to il, both North
and South
That Mr., Fillmore attributed TO that repeal the
sectional controversy that now agitates the conn
try is another Of the Governors objections. Taken
