Georgia for Fillmore.

The Augusta Chron,cis--remarks CIV:
erything tends TO convince us that Fillmore
will carry Georgia by a sweeping majority,
if his friends but do their duty. The en-
thusiasm with which his name is welcomed
on all sides would be alone guarantee Of
success, but, we have other proofs Of his in
creasing popularity. Men who have stood
aloof from the political organizations of the
day, are coming forward on all sides 10 re.
cord their confidence for him. The young;
who are eager to enter the arena, take pride
in becoming the supporters Of one whose
name is sound of welcome 10 their ears
The large body Of men who recognize ir
Mr.. Fillmore the great exponent of Ameri-
can sentiment, and who remember with
gratitude the patriotism and sound states
manship he revealed on every occasion du-
ring his Presidency, are happy in welcom-
ing so many new recruits to his standard. ="
Glasgow weekly times. (Glasgow, Mo.) 1848-1861, 1856-08-07

Mr.. Oliver has presented his report on
Kansas affairs, in reply to that of Messrs.
Sherman and Howard The following is
the conclusion, and suming up;-
First. That at the first election held in
the Territory under the organic act, for del
egates to Congress, Gen. John. w. Whit
field received plurality of the legal votes
cast, and was duly elected such delegate, as
stated in the majority report.
Second. That the Territorial Legislature
was legally constituted body, and had pow
er to pass valid laws, and their enactments
are therefore valid.
Third. That these laws, when appealed
10, have been used for the protection of life,
liberty, and property, and for the mainten-
ance of law and order in the Territory.
Fourth. That the election under which
the sitting delegate, John w. Whitfield was
held, was in pursuance Of valid law, and
should be regarded as valid election.
Fifth, that as said Whitfield, at said cleo
tion, received a large number of legal votes
without opposition, he was duly elected as
delegate to this body, and is entitled to a
seat on this floor as such.
Sixth, that the election under which the
contesting delegate, Andrew II. Reeder,
claims his seat, was not held under any
law, but in contemptuous disregard of all
law; and that it should only be regarded as
the expression of band of malcontents and
revolutionists, and consequently should be
wholly disregarded by the House.
Seventh, as to whether or not Andrew
II. Reeder received a greater sumber OF
votes of resident citizens on the 9th, than j.
w. Whiteeld did on the lst of October,
1855, no testimony was taken by the COM
mlttee, SO far es the undersigned knows,
nor is it material to the issue.
AL of which is respectfully submitted.
Nj. OLIVER.

TOMORROW.

Tomorrow. Chrstianl It's not thine;
God makes the morning lower or shine.
Thy cares are like an infants might
To guide the fathers hand Alright.
He who hath been thy succor oft,
Hides his impending arm aloft;
Save from that arm no stroke can fall,
And he can rescue thee from all.
What have thy former care avaied?
How have thy faithless projects failed!
How oft has Mercury put to shame
Thy doubtings of his holy name!
Know, then, the plan celestial gives
Each IN ment that the creature lives
And gives no more: each moment fraught
With stripes deserved, or good unbought.
Enough for thee to hear thy lot,
And do thy task, repini:g not;
Nor with helpless forecast spying
Clouds Ger the morrow's landscape flying.
Seek not to crowd the horrid sum
OF ills that may or may not come
Into the present favored hour;
For all are placed beyond thy power.
Thou dost but weaken thus the stay
That Grace vouchsafes thee for to-day;
Thou dost but palsy with alright
Thy shuddering heart with shades OF night
Come they, or come they not, the Friend
Who sends them will succor send.
How easy thus to plead the cause
/ OF Faith and Reason. but to pause,
Believing e'er the moment given,
Resigning future things to Heaven,
/ Is hard-alas, how hard!-tiii Grace
With beaming hope illumes the face,
Sufuses all the soul with love,
And opes the door TO joys above.
Come, then, thou only Comforter,
And all my holier passions stir;
Break the long spell of unbelief
And chase the conrounding grief!
