The true Democrat., 1856-03-11

The Memphis Appeal of the 1st inst, tells Us of a meeting held recently in Memphis by the |" Amae,tcans" to ratily their new platform. It says:
 :" Our Know Nothing faends had a fine time of 1t last year ratfying the Philadelphia plat form. Altogether, we think they about two months in this congressional district in get ting 1t fully and thoroughly ratified. They succeeded, at last however, or at least though they succeeded, though 1t would seem they had all their trouble for nothing, as they as sembled at the City Hall last night to ratify, or rather to rejoice at the overthrow of the same platform. Our chief regret is that there was so much eloqucnce and precipitation lost on the twelfth section last summer"
 And we suppose all the eloquence and per spration' expended in this State in ratifying the Philadelphia platform are lost too. The "twelfth section," over which so much was said, and on which the south was to find ",nore safety" than on any other platform, has been eXpunged, and another, more congenial to the tastes of northern Know Nothings, has been adopted
 We'll, we suppose we are to have another brilliant series of Know Nothing ratification meetings now to imdorse the nel0 Philadelphia platform 50 the sooner the commencement is made the sooner will the end appear. Pitch in, gentlemen. Where is Pike? Where is the Rev. Mr. Winfield? Where are Borand- ll-Rice-Quail-and the host of other dis tinguished gentlemen who figured at the last pole raising? It will never do in the world for these patriots to be silent when the country is in danger. This last doRge of Know Noth- ingism must be indorsed.
 The Memphis Bulletin, of the first inst. contains the following: The Navy Yard.
 "The following dispatch signed by six re- presentatves in the Congress of the United States was received yesterday in this city:
 Washington, Thursday, Feb. 2S. Io the HonoraJle Board cf Mayor ond Aldermen cf Memphis:

CONCEPT BY THE DLIND.-On last Friday and Saturday nights our citizens were regaled by a concert of vocal and instrumental music by Prof. c. R. Coe and Miss Brush both en- tirely blind. The singing was very fine, espe- cially that of Miss Brush; she has full and musical voice, with perfect control over it, and sings with ease and distinctness. Mr. Coe seems to have a good knowledge of music a strong and full voice, and sings huenty. His bass is unsurpassed. All seemed highly pleas ed with the entertainment. They left yester- day morning on their way towards Texas.
 (EF We call attention to the advertisement of Rev. F. $. Wood, A. M., president of Crawford Institute" The success of this in- stitution heretofore and the healthy region of country in which it is situated, united to the ability of Prof. Wood, recommends it fa- vorably to the public.
 /0~5F For the first time in the history of our State government St. Francis and Ponsett coun- ties are represented by a member belonging to party opposed to the democracy. William d democrat He betrayed his party during the sitting of the last Legislature, and will again n'isrqorese4 the democracy of Poinsett and St. Francis in the Senate next fall. A friend, in writing to us, asks if there is DO remedy against this barefaced treachery. Mir. Jones is now member of the oath bound abolition concern the Know Nothing party, and has the hardi- hood to continue to represent the democracy of his district The people should assemble en ndSSe and instruct him to resign.
 It k too mach the habit of legislators sent here by the democracy to sell themselves to prominent whigs and whg influence of this city. It has been suffered 10 pass in silence so long that the offence has become justified somewhat by custom. The democrats should demand a"clean record" strict party fidelity and an accountability of democratic representatives. When elected they are elected as the exponent of principle and when they Jet,ay Aiis trust, should be branded as traitors in the future.
 The Know Nothings asserted the doctrine. Procdea they elect legislature according to their "secret circular,' they intend instructing our Senators, Sebastian and Johnson, to resign. should they refuse to vote contrary to their in- structions. Sebastian and Johnson were elect ed by bydemocratc votes. Then how much stron- ger the case of Mir. Jones reversed? He was elected by democratic constituency. He can- not object to the application of principle of the Know Nothing party. The democracy of St. Francis and Poinsett can urge in this in- stance Know Nothing logic against Know No- thing He cannot dispute the orthodoxy of the principle.

Henry M Fulley

This is the man for whom the Know Moth ings voted for speaker They voted for him against Richardson who has always been true to the south. They voted for him, on the plu- rality rule, when it was known that Banks would thus be elected.
 Here is Henry M Fuller's letter, written to B. F. Saxton, August 18th, 1849. Let every southemer read it and then say what they think of the "South Americans who voted in Con- gress for Fuller of Pennsylvania.
 "You state in your letter that the freesoilers will hold convention at Hyde Park, on the 3Oth inst. There is pretty strong probability of my being in the field for canal commission CT, and it would certainly aid my prospects very materially to receive a nomination from your party. 1 am in favor of freesoil, free speech, free labor, and free men, being a Wilmot proyi- so man up to the hub and utterly opposed to the extension of slavery.
 
 The matter will require prudent manage. ment, and know of no man who can accom- plish it better than yourself. It would be bad policy to attempt it without certainty of suc- cess. If done it would be as we'll done by the adoption of a resolution, etc, which you will understand how to prepare. Consult with our mutual friends, Hackley and Johnson and write me soon.''
 Yours truly, HENRY M. FULLER.
 This is a rich development, is it not? "I ans m auor cf reesol free speech free labor, and free nsen, being JVilmot prOviso man ep to Me h'b am utterly opposed to tte extension cf slavery' Fuller was .treesoiler because he wanted to be canal commissoner--and he hoped to get the office by "p'udem nlanogenent.' Last winter, he was plo-slavery man, and was so, doubt less, because he thought it "prudent" in the race for speaker What does the Gazette think of Fuller now?

The Great Issue.

The Boston Bee, Fillmore organ, and organ of
the g national American party OF New England,
stated short time since. that the great question
now before the people was that of American
ism, 1.-THE party having discarded Freedom by
its doings at Philadelphia and that no other is
sue but that of Americanisn was worthy a mo-
rnent's consideration, at this time, by that party.
Per coRtrs, We find by looking South, among
the Fillmore organs, that a very different view is
entertained of the matter. Since the nominal
ton for the Presidency and Vice Presidency, Of
candidates who represent no other principle but
that of slave-hunting and slavery-extension,
they are honest enough to give that as the only
vital principle now left in their organisation. The
New Orleans Bulletin, for instance, one of the
staunchsst of the Fillmore organs, well portrays
the light in which the matter is viewed in that
section of the country, as follows
" The man is as blind as bat, and hopelessly
stupid, who does not see that there is one over
shadowing question which oUersohetns and sioat,
losos up all other issues the tundanaentas
and Cital question Of Slavery. Blink at 1t

And the Bulletin goes in with the other South
ern X. N journals, for Fillmore and Donelson,
because il thinks they thoroughly represent the
ultra pro-slayery interest of the country.
The Savannah Republican gives in its adhesion
to these nominations, upon the broad and all
sufficient ground Of Mr.. Fillmore's tried ability,
his unfinching honesty ofpurpose, and his devo-
ton TO the Constitution and the Union. as shown

SPEAKER BANKs's LEvEE.-The Washing.
ton correspondent of the New York EUening
Post, says: "The first of Mr.. Speaker Banks's
receptions, took place on Thursday night. The
Speaker resides in the we'll known mansion
formerly occupied by Madame Hamilton, and
its spacious rooms were occupied by large
company of ladies and gentlemen, who en-
joyed all the satisfaction which agreeable con-
versation and the attractions Of music, dancing
and an excellent supper could afford. Among
the more prominent OF the guests, were Mr..
Bright the President of the senate; General
Sam Houston, whose characteristic galantry
was never more asslduously displayed; Sena-
tors Wilson, Toucey, and many members of
the House; and nr. S. q. Howe, the dietin-
guished philhellene of Boston. The beauties,
natural aud artificial, of the ladies present,
would prove an inviting theme to one more
competent TO do them justice. There were
several, however, whose literary reputation
will excuse the mention of their names
among whom were Mrs. Beecher Stowe, Mrs.
Howe of Boston, author Of the remarkable
volume OF poems entitled "Passion Flowers"
and Mrs. Dom Piatt CBell Smith Abroad },
recently from Paris. With these and other
celebrities. and the attendance Of various
members of the diplomatic corps the party
was, perhaps, the most brilliant OF the sea-
son."

WASHINGTON, April 23.
A number Of members of Congress have
lately held consultations at the private lodg.
ings OF Southern member, on the subject of
the nomination of Mr.. Pierce at Lincinnati.
They not only agreed, it is said, that Mr..
Pierce is the most suitable candidate for the
Southern Democracy, but also took measures
to use influence in the South to promote his
nomination.
Nearly all the Southern aspirants to the
Presidency desire Mr.. Ferces nomination -
Mr.. Hunter, Mr.. Cobb Of Ca, Mr.. kusk.
and Col. Orr, each have some chance of sue
ceeding Mr.. Pierce, as the choice Of the De.
mocracy for the term commencing in 1861. -
They are all young enough to wait.
Mr.. Douglas, on the other hand, would
prefer the nomination of Mr.. Hunter or any
Southern man, hoping to succeed him. 1t is
understood in the Democratic party that here
after the North is 10 have the Presidency al.
ternately with the South. This is great
concession certainly, on the part Of the South,
which will contribute most OF the electoral
votes to the election of Democrat, at the
coming election, and probably at future cleo
tons.
As matters stand, Mr.. Pierce's chance for
the nomination is, think, better than that OF
any other Democrat, Northern or Southern.
There is but one difficulty about IL, and that
Is the apprehension that, ii nominated, he
will not DO elected. As Mr. Buchanan Ia
sure Of Pennsylvania, II lie commended, with
much force, that lac is the only Democratic
candidate who can with any fair prospect of
success be put ia nomination.
