Sampson met at the Court House in Clinton, on Sa-
turday, the 22d day of March, 1856. Arthur Brown

only of Sampson, but of the whole country, 10 unite
in solid phaanx to rescue, not only the Constitution;
but the Union, from impending danger; and believ-
ing as we do, that the contest in the coming cam,
paign is not between the so-called American party
and the Democracy, but between the Democratic par
ty, as lovers of the Union aud the Constitution, and
the vile Republicans of the North and that the
Know Nothing party is but stumbling block in the
way OF the Democratic party and one OF the means
whereby Southern men may be innocently brought
to assist in the election of the Black Republican nom
inee for the Presidency, by causing DIVISION IN the
ranks of the slave holding interests of the South
And further believing that the Southern Know Moth
nes have been to themselves, their Interests
and their country, by striking out, Or with their

ing passed upon eight hundred and thirteen claims,
involving an immense amount of property.

dition On foot directed against Tehuantepec.
From the mining districts the intelligence is of the
most Encouraging character
From the agricultural Interests the news is equal
ly encouraging.
The news from Oregon is of the most distressing
character. The Indians continue their terrible rava-
ges in klamath county. Thirty families slaugh-
tered, and their houses burned to the ground.
The Governor of Oregon intends to despatch the
citizen soldiers in pursuit of the savages.
The Indians are ravaging all parts of Oregon and
