; A. B.n'CLKEHT. This gentleman takes it bard . that we published last week that ho was drunk When leading the torchlight procession. He even loses his usual equanimity and openly proclaims us a liar. We aro not much surprised at this, for that is the strongest argument that party bas.at this time. Yet some apology is duo Mr. M'Cleery, for descending to that argument. No doubt he thinks ho was not drunk. Ho even denies being a drunkard. Men who make the standard of drunkenness so low that no man is drunk until he lies upon, tho ground, feeling up for the grass, or attempts to light a pipe at a pump spout, would deny Li being drunk. We deem this exp'anaticro
du to Mr. M'Cleery, for in any othcrj
light he would appear supremely ridiculous ia attempting to deny so palpable a fact; and liku the chargo of J. L. Robinson, it would rebound upon himself, and do the most injury in tho op posite direction from that intended. We hope therefore our friend will make this apology for him and his endorsers when they deny that fast, and at
tribute our difference of opinion on
the subject, to the difference of starid ards. '
We think we deserve great crcdi
for our forbearance with Mr. M'Cleery, in not having more plainly and more
frcaueutlr spoken of his faults. The
0 truth is we have not thought it possi
Me for him to bo elected, and we have
wished to hedge ap his way in private
life as little as possible. We cannot
think that the sober and virtuous men
of this county will, for tho sake of party, be willing to be represented by him. Iudced we know men who are greater drunkards if possible, who say they want a sober representative. -Should he be dcfoatod.wt will claim but little credit for it.for we havegiven but little publicity to" his habits. They were known and read of all men before his nomination, and ho was nominated only because it was believed that a majority of the voters of thi county aro of the snrac stamp. In addition to his own dental, he has present cd for publication the ccr tificato of twelve men to tho snmo purport. Wo think he could as easy have procured fifty, that would testify that ho never was dru. k nt all. . Tho men who signed that certificate do not intend to misrepresent the facts; they only mean to say that according to their ttandard of drunJcennets, Mr. M'Cleery was not diunk. Well, we are willingtheyshould enjoy their opinion of when a man is drunk, and wc will do the same. The names appended, to thi certificates, aro Jos. II. Clark,

Holman and Cumback at Laurel last
Friday nicht. Judge Holman led off
in a pretty speech of somo hour and
twenty minutes. He w a man of mind and of moral worth, and we shall feel, if he is elected, that the district has gained in exchanging Lane for Holman. But his speech was by no means such as we havo heard from him. The troth is, he is embarrassed by his position. He is at heart opposed to the extension of slavery nud the pica of of squatter sovereignty does not satisfy him, in defending tbo Nebrp.ka Bill. We have heard him make splendid speeches whin hi heart was in the cause. He now moves and speaks as if he was doing it nt the command of another and not of his own good will, ani we beg the community not to estimate Judge Holman by what they now see and hear. Mr. Cumback's speech was good. He fully met nay more than met the expectations of his friends. His ex position of the fraud practiced upon
freemen by tho repeal of the MUsousi Compromise line was plain and pointed. It was well received by the audience
and we doubt not they will respond as heartily next October ns they did on that occasion.
of character, it has been on thr: principle that, at times it is as much the duty of good citizens to cxposo the fault of others, as, it is usuallyr to
conceal those fault. ,W have not made an indiscriminate onslaught on vicious men. ! Usually wo have spo
ken only in general terms,' but it has been necessary some timeu o bo specific. Then wo have been specific. We know men who are openly and notoriously ludc, whose time and money are jpent with women of ill fame. Wc do
not think it the provinco of tho pros to
expose thoso men personally. It is
right to expofio ludeness, and, under j peculiar circumstances, to expose ludo
men. Should these men aspire to be
come ourhw makers, or our law ex ' ecutors, we would consider it duo to
the people, that the facts should bo known, and no fear ofpersonrd violence would deter us. We have only to say that the threats of drunken men und their supporters do not frighten us. Their fiendish appellations ore devoid of terror. ' We remember one who wa once .called n blasphemer, nnd glutton, and drunkard and liar, who vtnyprwed to be guilty" of tho things charged, to 'tho satisfaction of the drunken rabble when he would not flatter, and of n timo serving politician whose favor he would not court. lie was condemned to death by them and publicly executed. Wo begun this crusade against drunkenness many years ngo. Wc began it with a perfect understanding of its cost. We knew that it occupied many a ktrong hold, and that its votaries would struuglu hard to retain
their position. We knew that men who had robbed thousandsof virtu-j, and wealth, and honor, and home, nnd happiness, Would not scruple to ruin, if possible, thoso who' would displace them. Why tdiould they? If a man will despoil an innocent one of his rep
utation and character, for tiro 6ako of
making gain, m y he not prey equally upon thoso who would drive him from his lucrative, yet ruinous business. Hence where drunken und iiccntoui men chargo upon us as, they do, we receive their assaults, not as personal, but as aimed at the cause wc advocate.
And wo do not' imk the sympathy eC
men. Let them sympathize w ith those who aro the real , sufferers with the men whose characters aro ruined and
whose fortunes aro lost by the ruthless destroyer. In tho mean while, we will say that neither calling us a liar nor threatning to kill or to assault .us,
will avail any thing. Tho people 'of
thi county require other arguments
than these to drive them to a support
of drunken nieri or drnnkard makers.

'to vol for Democrats this fall for the sama purposc.-lt, was a nvcting of tho people to cousult on a common
cause for " a romraoa good. " The speaking was good, and well received; To see such men as Hacklcman and Matson -Whigs of-the" first water, standing si Je by side with Cumbitck and Talbot, Democrats of the Jefferson and Jackson school, battleingfor their Country's honor and Country' interest, reminded us of the time that we saw Whigs and Democrats shoulder to shoulder mwrchi.ig against a foreign foe. To us it demonstrated that the American people can unite against a domestic enemy r.s well as ugsinst a foreign one. And we can hut believe
that the Country is safe when men dare
be free and dare thus to unite their
strength on agoed cause in fpito of. the threatning and promises of party nj asters. ' '
IT WILL DO ItO GOOD. The strongest argument of Holman,
for the repeal of the restrictive lin is that it would do no good any how. To prove this ho re ft red to tins fact
that slavery existed in Indiana nnd Illinois, in ppite of the ordinance 'C7,
until the peoplf? formed their constitution. But his illustration from history is against hin. Although a few did
bring slaves with them, in violstionof
law, and the pro-slavery Judgto. Lar-
hals, &c; appointed by ft ware holding President, permitted tbci to hold thcro.thn rich and ir.flaeetiad tlsve holders went to Hinocri, whrre t'.e' ordi

COSEEMKED BY TirxIB 0"wTJ ADMISSION,
We have often alluded to the fact
that the Catholic-Whisky -Slavery, pnr-
tyf can not get up even plausible false
hoods, and if they happen to stagger on one that , appears- plausible, they contradict it by their own admission. Wc have repeatedly said that the Know
Nothing movement was not an anti-
foreigner movement but annnti catho
lie one,' and nnti catholic only in the sense it opposed thoso rnun nnd those measures that courted the political in-
lliicnco of Catholics at the sacrifice of tho American Protestant sentiment of
the nation. In New York the Biblo
cause camo near being banished from
the Common Schools by the Democrat party, because Arch-BUhop Hughes demanded it, nnd tho same party has
frequently favored a division of th school fund, that the Catholics might have their own free schools supportcp by public funds. No Avonder such movements have nrouscd American as well as foreign Protectants. But the Democratic press hus tried to p.ejudico foreign protectants against it, by.wi.Hrepresenting the facts. But they disapprove their ow falsehood. The
following item is going the rounds of
th Democratic press: "One of the candidates on the ."ICuow Nothing" ticket in Philadelphia is a Scotchman who has long been u violent whig partisan. This shows that they dont believe
their own fabrications and that it is a
Protestant movement, and not purely
anti foreigner.
OyThe lovers of Lard Oil sr tryiug

him to last wecH, and they ire likely to
drive him into fc worse one. They say
he only meant to chinge his appoint

did ho not say so, then, Instead ef saying
that ho would proiisty be along e!ec

whrJrawnl tn tho Scatiael where Tom.
Smith wouM see It, and la that ho says
the, appointments will probtbly bo"lti

to post him nd his master for the 8th.
Tho Lafrrenccburgh Register, not being in the secret, or wishing still to blind
Smith who had published that ho would
accompany the champions through this t'istrict, publibbed tho card withdrawing

the Roister of that dato wo first hear
of their withdrawal.' Ills now manifest
that the whole was a iuso to uvold nice-

such articles as pedlars generally car

Tiiz Election is Maine. Wo had supposed, says the New York Herald, that the politicians of Maine, through their splits, coalitions, fusions and amalgamations, had become as thoroughly snarled up as possible before the election. But wo were mistaken, as our telegraphic accounts ubundently prove. One fact, however, is admitted; the mysterious nnd terrible Know Nothings have ncattercd confusion and tiism.iv all around. It matters little into wliose hands tho local affairs of Maine are placed, nnd it is certain that the candidates for Con-

ANDkRGONVILLE, led. !Sep. 1C. T. A. Goodwin: I wish to sttbmi
it few thoughts in relation to our Mass
Meeiinir of the ICth inst. It will be
unnecessary kit Me to aay anythin
nbout what transpired before you left
ras youesnetterd to tht. I only wish
to nutico what transpired after your departure. Mr. Matson was called to the ttund, after Dr. T'lbott concluded his speech. He congratulated his old friends on the manly stand they havo
tr.ktn ia defitce of the great mora
questions of tho'dy, nnd the bright evidences which presented themselves
to his mind siace hi bort stay in his
old county, that their efforts will in sure a triumphant victory nt tbo np proaching election. He paid a hand somo tribute to our candidate. Cum

principled bineJs. who lor the love of
ga'n will yet follow tho infamous business cf selling drugged liquors to hoys, and weak mi nth d men, who have not firmness enough, nor moral courage sufficient to withstand tho temptation setbefore them.
Yet for the honor of our town and
county I will say there are but few
who are so far löst to moral principle, and become so depraved as to be caught in their traps. But we are
anxiously expecting and confidently
hoping the timo is not far distant when
this fountain of iniquity shall be dried up, and the Maine Law principle be taught by all our politicians.
Vhilo I am on the subject of tem
perance I will say Union Co. is still in
the field with its banner 'unfurled to the breze, determined to fight under it
and never quit the field til we gain the
vicLory. Bat you must not suppose
that our enemies are asleep or inactive.
They are vigilent, cunning, ready to
take every ndvnntage, if hapily they
may find us off our guard, and turn
the tide against us. Thev will even court us in the garb of friendship and
while talking honeyed words, will, Brutus-like, draw the dagger nnd drain the hearts blood f our fondest hopes. There nre those too, who fast winter

In every cac I Udieve.l tw and justice prevailed and In some instances to the utmost limits' oMie prtsent law. Thi bhowN tfiat here, as well as eUewhere, this morutrous iniquity is t be viewed in its true light. Let every friend of the cause take courage and struggle on. Victory will fically perch upon pur banner. Messrs. Bright,' Robinson sndLane, wee at Liberty recently, andilsbored hard, and with great zeal, to reclaim the wardering and erring sons, of what they call Demoracy; but its no go. The goodnnd mom! of all parties, have become disgusted with old fogy im in bo'.h the old parties ofDem oen cy und Whiggtry, and "YoungAmerica," iutei.dslo K-t up for itself; basing itself upon a broad and firm superstructure, solid us the granito of
Old Plymouth, itself, nnd by uomcaua omitting the cause of Temperance and

iso many cocfliiMing rxpooiires have
recently been made of the Know
Nothings, that we begin, u, this- way
lo believe wc "don't know" anything
about them, nnd in f.tcl.iha opinion is
beginning lo prevail, that there is no such thing in existence; save in the imagination, of these old politicians and their particular lriends, the catho

jC7The Democrats, who are so horrified at preachers; meddling in politics, having found one that is in favor of free whisky nnd Bill Nebraska, in .he person of Rev.

Judge Holman was then gallanted to the stand, by a gentleman(?) who, from the confusion he tried to create during the time our speakers were engaged, was laboring uudcr the influence of nt least aquattof the ardent, and some say they think the Judge, from the way he swaggered and leaned was in tho same fix. I cannot say whether he was or not, but should judgo from his cl e proximity to the above said gentleman during the evening he could not help being a little fuddled if he had not imbibed a drop of the dear critter, at all events there was something wrong with tho man from the effort ho made. He indulged in some very low, vulgar slang, denouncing those opposed to him as abolitionists ns agitators wishing to interfere with slavery where it already existed, by the restoration of the Missouri Compromise.

Ed. American; Tbo Pittislvrf Po$t in commenting upon the efforts of those who nre opposed to the "Nebraeka outrage," says that "Nebraska is no longer a name t conjure by. The truth is now known, nnd the humbug is exploded" I agree with the Post thut such is the fact. Iowa hits spoken in tones that cannot be misunderstood that she knewa what the truth is, and 6he has blown "the Humbug" so high that its defenders will never see itagaitj. It was a fearful explosion to those who voted for that bill. Many other States are waiting with intense anxiety, to follow the example of our voung Democratic sister. Purely, the Humbug htm exploded, and killed those who had tho audacity to support and defend that bill cf iniquity. The peole will not submit to such gross nnd flagrant outrage of public trust,
but will unite without distinction of
party and that the perpetrator khall beblown beyond the limitsofpolitical attraction. No wonder that there is n fearful looking for judgment and punishment, by those who concocted nnd voted for that bill which mav open the gate to the extension of one of the worst evils of our country.

we want to know is, how such things
can be did. We pau.'e for a reply,
j express their opinions on the political
topics that now agitate the country,
as ordinary men. Ministers nre but
men, subject to the same passions und laws as thc balance of mankind, and
if bad laws nre made they have to
sutler with the rest of community. Consequently, I think that they hav the right, and it is their sacred duty to
enter their solemn protest ngainst po
litical as well as religious trnnsgrcsssion. And when I hear a man
speak wtth contempt oi Ministers for
daring to do right, I come to the conclusion that he-is fearful that his party is in tho minority und that he would do anything, to f.ecure his political ends. I understand that the man that made Aacxpose, to a candidate and the lawyer, wishes to remove to ti e

Mixeuvii le, Sep. 15, '54. Mr. G. Wo want to know out here what that cannonnt ding meant, in town that shooting in the dark. What is the orful trouble that has
brought John L. to Brook, twice with his big gur. to thoot iu miJuight gloom
atthvK. N'. What harm do they do? A body would have thought that when he shot, there would have
been some howling but I am told he
fired nt the rascals, and when thc smoke
cleared away there M as not a wound-
man found, andonlv one bit of blood. Then you fellers thought the "Marion of the Mexican War," could do better. "He c.ime." "lie aw"-noth-ing. "lie conquercu"-nothing. Old
Joe, they aay, took good aim at where
he heard thc K. N's, were la I, and fired. Then J. Bright shot,or shot first, I don't know which and don't care;only tho torch-light procesidon, with all their searching, did'nt find one wounded, K. N. If they nro likely to get troublesome, nnd if there are any strong'symptoras of the people crowding any of them in office lo the displacement of some "idiort-liners'' better send for the old brass fYiece. In the meantime let some of your young lawyerssmart boys como out in the country, and repeat over and over what tho big guns said about Bill Brasky and the Know Nothings. Wo have a love for rorxo I twyera out here, nnd believe most nil they aar. -They think wc area set of fools, and wc think, ju:t what we pleae Send them out. But mind we want young ones, that are out of business, at home. Wonder if they could'nt bring along that ,'old line wmu." Now sir, tvho uro we to vote for at the next eh ctiou? That's the question. We want a goo ! ticket, but we don't l.ku tho old regulars.. They have nearly all sucked long enough to be weaned. The "Old Line Whig' that prince of gentlemen, told U9 of a pretty good ticket, in the Democrat, said to have been nominated in hia presence by the Council. Afterwards just as we got to love the ticket pretty well, he crawfished said it was not so. Guess the ex-Senator, does not often back out. Did this time, and looked tick with the inscriptirn "Old Line Wmu." Your neighbor now gives us a K. N., bob-tailed ticket. We call it bobtailed cause it has no Commissioner. Survevor or Coroner. He think h has it now. It is this: For Senate, Richard II. Cullum. " Reps. T. Williams, 11. T.Cooley. " Tre usurer. John It. (I-oodwin. " Auditor. Janes It. Vancamp. " bherifl. Jefferson Colescott, I move we adopt this ticket, ns eom-. i from thc prince of Know Nothings, nnd c ill it the 1'eoplrs IA-faiicd Know Xolhlvj TiAet. We might some of us prefer a little diiu n nt, but if the men proposed on it will nct-ept, it is good enough all qualified all sober all honest. A CUUNTRYliAX.
