FATAL A C'CI DENT.

It is our painful duty in this issue, to speak of another dreadful accident which occurred at Shannondalc last Saturday at the Democratic Meeting convened at that place. By too much enthusiasm the cannon was discharged before i'u was entirely in readiness. The case as stated to us by some of those who were at the ground was nbout this. Those having charge of the ordnance were attempting to fire at the rate of five rounds per minute and at the time of the aecidcnt were not falling much short of their endeavors, and failing to swab out thoroughly in so great haste, the explosion took place wkifo sending the cartridge bng home, the rammer in the hands of Mr. JK&RMIAH FAUSF.

It was a melancholy accident, the deceased was a young man just entering upon the prime of life, with young family entirely dependent upon him for support.

We wish we could say some kind word to those who mourn his loss, we know we can assure them that they have the sympathies of the entire Democratic party, whose prineiples he so much loved and in whose festivities he lost his life. We also feel it to be our duty to mcntiou with commendation the hospitality and tenderness which the sufff*er received at the hands of the good people of Shannondale, Mr. SILAS JONKS

On Monday the obsequies were performed, at the dying man's own request accords ing to military custom. The fuueral procession was very,laigo and every mark of respect was shown. The citizens of Shannonditle and vicinities canuot be too lavishly commcnded, but we know the highest rcward they can have, is tho noble feeling .wkhin their own hearts that they have done their dutv and that thev have done it well.

National men of all parties and political persuasions, remember the day of election is now very neat at hand. Next Tuesday, the Red Republicans and the National Democrats of Montgomery county, will cross their lances and fight their test battle.—

Remember then, that the National Democratic party makes no religious test and that the Red Republican party does make

Then with all these glorious recollections you will meet the enemy, and gain a victory unprecedented in the political history of the county.

A GRAJTCj FIZZLE.

Last Saturday, according to the Journal, the Abolition Know Nothings of the county were to have a grand rally. Well, Saturday came and with it about eight hundred souls, including women and children.— The great orators that had been advertised to be present and address the meeting were not ob hand. Their only speakers being the traitor Mace, t)ougherty, and a low, dirty blackguard from Marion county by the name of Sheets, who entertained a motley crowd of some four hundred in the Court House with his denunciations of the South and the National Democratic party. Mace openly declared himself in favor of disunion, rather than vote to admit another slave State. This declaration, though received with shouts of applause, evidently sickened the better part of the audience,

many of whom immediately withdrew and renounced all further allegiance to a p.irty

EVERY MAS AT THE POLLS. We hope every man will be at the polls. The contest is one of incalculable importance—the opposition will hare every one that is sufficiently duped to vote their disunion ticket on hands sick or well, and we hope that those of our party who are indisposed will be assisted to come out. Let them come on horseback, let them come in wagons, let them come anyway and everyway, and let al! discharge their duty.

Jggir We insert below the beautiful and patriotic letter of Hon. WILLIAM PRESTON, in answer to an invitation sent him by our committee of arrangements to be present at the Barbecue to-day. Mr. Preston was formerly a Whig, but now, repudiating abolitionism, repudiating the treason of Know Nothingism and everything else which tends to impair the peace, the harmony and the confidence which have always bound together the North and the South, and which have hitherto operated to make them the proudest and most exemplary political establishment now in existence. Mr. Preston expresses the hope that "the good and true men of all parties" will unite to put down Abolitionism and Know Nothingism We hope our old line Whig friends will pause over this advice and smoke their pipes upon it, for it is the only course that can be pursued to preserve the triumphs and the glory of this mighty and enlightened nation, this land of milk and honey, this home of the brave and free, where the fair goddess of Liberty built her first temple, erected her first altar, and where our fathers poured out their own fresh blood as the first libation in honor of her name. The committee has furnished us with Mr. Preston's letter and we give it entire:

I cannot feel otherwise than deeply sensible of the honor this offer contains, but a previous engagement on my part, will prevent me from being able to be present. 1 have consented to accept an invitation to attend a mass meeting of the Democracy upon the 6th of October at Lexington, and must therefore decline the invitation you extend.

APPEAL' TO TUK VOTERS. The following very /ible appeal to the vo

ters of Shelby County is extracted from the Xational Volunteer. It is much to thc point and will apply with appropriateness to the voters of every county in the State, and should be read by everybody.

ONE MORE APPEAL TO THE VOTERS OF SHELBY COUNTV.—The time is now very close at hand when you will be called upon again to deposit your votes in favor of the candidates of your choice for the difterent offices of the county, and also to express, through your ballots on that day, your sentiments upon the various and conflicting political questions now agitating the whole country.

The contest in which we have been engaged, has been a contest for PRINCIPLES.— It has been waged fearlessly, and the various questions involved have been discussed freely and fully, so that none can now be ignorant of the real issues which place antagonism the Democratic and the so-called Republican parties.

Within the last eighteen months you have witnessed the decay and dissolution of the once proud and powerful Whig party, in whose stead you have witnsssed also the birth and startling growth of a mysterious organization, under the cover of night, held together by oaths, secret signs, passwords and grips, and promulgating principles at war with the most cherished ideas of true Americanism—assailing at once the strongest pillars of our Constitutional I1 recdom, and spreading abroad the reckless spirit of political proscription and religious Government intolerance. As thc first bitter fruits of this organization, which stole upon the country with all the blandishments of practical art and consummate skill, and well-nigh swept the whole land by the magic power of its mysterious spell, you have seen riot and rapine, bloodshed and murder taking possesion of the country, and a powertul order, making large pretensions to decency and moral reform, martyrizing and canonizing professed pugilists and bullies, who lost their lives in pot-house brawls and in wicked riots, and

marshals the way of the present opposition to

the Democratic party. You have seen this,

faction poising itself upon the waves of political strife, like the hissing destroyer of Laocoon, coiling itself around the body politic and endeavoring to crush out the lifdblood of our Constitutional Liberties. You have witnessed the hold maneuvering of this political hydra, which at your State Capital recently declared that, como what may, be it war, famine or desojation, they will not "tolerate, under any circumstances, the extension of slavery Before they would yield the right to their southern brethren of a voice in the formation of governments for our common Territories, in the acquisition of which their blood and treasure flowed freely, in common with the people of tho North, they would unite under the banner of Chase and Giddings and Wade, and bring upon our country all thc horror* of civil war, dissolution and anarchy, and then gloat over the fallen fortunes of a once proud and happy country, which now extends to twenty millions of free whites all the blessings and immunities for which tho free-born heart could crave. And yet, while they go forth to tho world, holding in their hands this fire-brand of destruction they court the votes of a patriotic people with the fair and flattering pretense ofmaining "plighted faith," and observing "sacred compacts." They strike the dagger of fanaticism at the heart of the Union itself— the most sacred compact ever formed for the protection of a free people—and then, with the brazen impudence of the devil himself, talk to the honest voters of this country, about the "plighted faith" of a Congressional enactment in 1820! They howl thror the land for the restoration of the Missouri Compromise, which restoration would'legis* late slavery south of that line, and in 'the next deceptive breath resolve "not to tolerate, under any circumstances the extension' of slavery They maintain an organiza--tion which, in the language of a cotempo-' rary, "is national in the South and Sectional in the North is secretin New York and open in Georgia Catholic in Lousiana and Protestant in New England black in Maino and white in Virginia which swears tho son to prescribe the foreigner, even if that foreigner should be that son's father opposes the caucus, and settles its candidates in packed cabals elevates ti negro and degrades thc adopted citizen curses all monarchs, and adopts the creed of George thc Third against emigration abuses the Pope, and declares itself infallible aerfails the Spanish inquisition, and imitates its clandestine persecutions and professes Christianity and proscribes its neighbor adores tho Bible and shoots down unoffending citizens adores the Constitution, and sets up a test*--by that Constitution prohibited pays a premium for treason to friendship, and affixes the brand of perjury to all who refuse to obey its obligations asks for free schools, and proscribes poor, helpless female teachers repudiates the Catholics and admits tho Infidel and,

States, seek the elevation to office of NEGROES, while it swears its members with uplifted hands, in presence of Almighty God, never to vote, "nor give their influence for any man, for any office in thc gift of the people, unless he be a native born citieen," and not even if "he be a Roman Catholic," whether native born or not!

The time is now rapidly approaching, when thc voters of Shelby County will again be called upon to decide between the party of such bloody antecedents, illiberal dogmas, rampant fanaticism, and glaring inconsistencies, and the Democratic party, which acknowledges no sectional divisions in this country—which seeks the peaceful perpetuity of the Union, in thc spirit of Truth and Justice to all citizens of this country and in all sections—which maintains thc old Jeffersonian doctrines of'equal and exact justice to all men of whatever State or persuasion, religious or political thc preservation of the General Government in its whole constitutional vigor, as the sheet-anchor of our peacc at home and our safety abroad," and advocates the maintainance inviolate of religious freedom and political equality, and the rights of tho States and Territories, as the "creed of our political faith, the text of civil instruction, and the touchstone by which to try the services of those we trust." Under these prin-. ciples we haVc grown to be a great, united and happy people. Towns and cities havo sprang up as if by magic. Commerce has been extended and facilitated learning has been diffused thc arts have flourished the wilderness has been cleared and mado to blossom like the rose and pcace, plenty, and happiness sit smiling at our doors.— Wc rank among the first of nations, and the genius of our people has achieved the most signal triumphs over the trained mechanism of the old world. In all the essentials of greatness we have prospered and flourished under Democratic rule—and will you not now sustain the wise maxims of thc Fathers of thc Republic, whose principles have so long been our guide, and which hasbrought to us so much of national grandeur and prosperity We feel sure that thc ballots of Tuesday the 9th of October, will be given in favor of that party which is guided by the broad principles which arc thc basis of our which is the only conservative, liberal, constitutional, TRUE American party—theDemocrotic party—and in thunder tones you will proclaim your adhesion to thc doctrines of religious freedom, political liberty, and the maintenance of the Constitution and the Union.
