Through the Savannah Georgian, we learn that the Great Mass Meeting of the Democracy of oar sister State, which convened at the Stone Mountain, on the 15th instant, passed off in the most glo rious style. Eighteen thousand persons were supposed to have been present on the occasion. Among the delightful event9 of the Convention, was the novel and interest ing scene ot the presentation of a " Cass and Butlek" Cake.by Col. II. It. Jack son, in behalf of theLadies of Savannah, to the Ladies in attendance at the Stone Mountain. The Cake, accompanied with a beautiful address and poetry, was sent up to the meeting by the fair Ladies of Savannah, as a testimonial of their devotion to Domocratic principles. The address is so rich anJ heart touching in its sentiments, that we cannot retrain from copying it into our columns. FROM THE DEMOCRATIC LADIES OF CHATHAM COUISTV, To the Ladies in attendance at the Stone Mountain Meeting. The Democratic Ladies of Chatham County, unable to be personally present at the great assemblage of the Democ racy at the Stone Mountain, but anxious ly alivo to he importance of that occa sion, desire to give expression to their feelings in some appropriate manner. Under ordinary circumstances they would be reluctant to approach the po litical arena, except in the character oi silent, though deeply interested specta tors. There are times, however, and seasons when it becomes the wives and daughters of the country to raise the voice of encouragement while their hus bands and their brothers are struggling in politicul battle, and to weave laurel wreaths, in anticipation of the peaceful vic'ories of the ballot box. Such a time is the present. The political atmosphere is thick and heavy. Signs and portents ol evil augury are visible. The great parly, which, during almost the entire existence of our Government, has pre sided over its destinies, still stands serene and undismaved. Domestic treason has not availed to obscure its glory. The desertion of a chieftain, once well be loved, has failed to diminish its confi dence. Proud of the past and trustful in the future, its serried hosts are watch ing the gloomy waters, through which they are yet to pass in safety and tri umph, and under which the bristling legions of their antagonists will be foiever buried. No common man is in command of the rival party- No common train ol customary circumstances attends the progress of his army. The wand of a fierce wizard has been waved over the assembly of slf styled friends of peace, and a mighty camp has risen in its place. The garments of the civilian are dyed blood-red. The silver tones of theAsh- land orator are drowed in the wild clash of martial music. The forum is forgot ten in the wild glare of the bivouac. It is the darling vocation of woman to sound the praises of the hero. Our hands are made to deal out the prizes of the tourney our lips are made to utter he panegyric of the victors. But while we gladly discharge each new obligation as it arises, we preserve untarnished the memorv of nasi achievements. The victory of to-day receives from us its appropriate meed, the victory of a quar ter of a century ago maintains its do minion over our recollections. Now. we are called to raise acclamations for the conquest of a weak foe in the heart of his own dominions, but while we be stow our plaudits, the never-dying echo of a nobler strife returns. Let garlands be woven for the conquerors of the Mex ican, bjt the laurels of the victors of the Briton can never be out-rivalled. We cannot mingle in the contest be tween the hero of the war of 1845 and the twin-heroes of the war of 1812. Ours is the humble duty of girding on the sword, but as we gird it we will pour form our hearts in fervent aspirations for the success of the patriotic candidates oi the Democratic party, fearless in the field and reproachless in the council. To those ladies more fortunate than ourselves, who are in attendance on this interesting occasion, we desire to mani fest our good-will. H e know no more fating method of exhibiting to them our appreciation of the motives which have brought them together than the one we have selected. We send them the pres. ent which accompanies this address, to evince to them that as we remember our obligations to our country we do not for get the peculiar duties ofouf sex. We are American women, and American house wives, and we beg our sisters of DeKalb to find lite evidence ot both in the cake which is now presented. Judge of our ! patriotism by the exterior adornments, test our domestic knowledge by ihe x periments on the snbslantial interior. From the "Boys" of Chatham County, to the GIRLS" OF DE KALB. With a " Cass and Butkr" Cake. Dear Ladies ! from our level shore. Near the wild Ocean's ceaseless roar. We send our present well assured. That it will grace your festive boafd. Where is ihe Democratic lass, That will not lend her aid to 1 Cass,, " My, and to brave old Butler' too, Phe leaders of our gallant crew ! The former on our North-we6t shore, Breasted the cannon's awful roar, That he might ward away the blow, Dealt by our country's ancient foe And when, at last that foeman came, With threats of devastating flame, And vowed New Orleans to subdue, Its ' booty and its beauty' too, Butler, with General Jackson, fought, The foe in his own meshes caught, wind made him find a bloody grave Beside the .Mississippi's wave: Cherish these heroes, ladies fair, Who've fought for all you hold most dear! Accept the gift we offer here, And with your smiles our bosoms cheer And should it be our happy fate, To save our noble, gallant State, The Victory we with you will share, And that will make it doubly dear: And should we fail still not the less We'll feel thai we've deserved success, That thro' defeat your smiles remain, And that wiU take off haZf its pain I THE BRITANNIA'S NEWS. THE IRISH MOVEMENT OVEB ! The Irish demonstration against the Government has failed utterly O'Brien is in prison, and the foit of "the Saxon" is again firmly planted on the neck of that unhappy people, who have all the spirit and the will for resistance, but not the ability. We have despaired of the success of this movement from the first, because Ireland was divided against herself split vp into factions and without organization among he people. By a despatch received Saturday eve ning last, we learn that he-Britannia had arrived, bringing the news thai all was quiet in Ireland once more (the quietude of despair.) Smith O'Brien was in prison. The people of Dublin rejected him, and when lie fled to the mountains, they would neitheir harbor nor sustain him. The authority of the Government is once more supreme throughout the country. A subsequent despatch dated Haiti more, August 4.1, says mat kj o or man escaped on board of an American ship, which was pursued by an English steu mer, in the hope of capturing him. In England the weather was very un favorable for the harvest. The 'pot a toe rot reported to be extending, and great fears entertained in consequence. France continues quiet. An attempt had been made to assassinate Theirs, and those implicated had been tranepor ted to Brest. The Cholera had broken out at Brest. The Piedemontese army have been defeated at every point. The affairs of Italy are attracting gen eral attention. Let every man, woman and child keep a little pulverized charcoal in their bed rooms, and cn retiring at night, let them put as much of it as can be laid on a six- pense in their mouths, and work it abou among the teeth with the tongue ; and it will not be long before there will bo no decayed teeth for the dentist to fill wit! amalgam or pure gold either. Rise ear ly in the morning, vake exercise enough to make your breakfast relish well, and you will feel fresh and vigorous fo the day s labor.

From the South Carolinian. Whigs and Wilis Pleasures. It is in vain for gentlemen, whether they be Democrats or Taylor Demo crats, to give expression to opinions, and say that the leading measures of the Whig Party are "obsolete ideas." It is only the voice of the syren, chanting a 6ong of melody to lull their conscien ces into a Btate of inactivity, it is the incantation of the sorcerer fettering the soul with a magic spell and closing the e5eto the hideous deformity of modern Whiggery. We are free to admit, that out of the many questions entering into the present Presidential canvass, the most important and involving the high est degree of interest to u9, is Slavery and its existence in tho States. It is part and parcel of our social system, and is so wrought into the fiamework of society, that any attempt to remove it, come Irom quartet it may, would rend this government into a thousand fragments, and destroy the peace and happiness of every family living unaer a southern sky. But when men of influence, of high character and standing, men of. ability and eminent qualifications to do geod service in their country a cause, gifted with the power to curb at will the "fierce democracy,' suffer themselves to be seized with a sort of lukewarmness, and readily come to the conclusion that in the present contest, there are no oth er important issues to be presented to the people, fraught with consequences ot the most serious impoit, wo beg leave most respectfully to say, awake irom your delusion. Know ye not that an enemy is in the camp? No longer tem porize with your safety. Dash from your lips the chaliced cup the Whigs are offering you. Come, and like Josh ua of old, let. us reason together. A short retrospective view of the past, will show whether such reasoning about obsolete ideas" be good or not. In 1744 Mr Clay was selected as the exponent of the principles and doctrines of the Whig party, ns a suitable and fit person to represent them fully and fairly before the country. Here was a man of transcendent genius.whose fame as a statesman and politician, not confined to one Hemisphere had travelled the ex tent ot the Old World-and convinced the nation of Europe, tiit the human mind had not degenerated in ln Uncul- ivated wilds of the New. He. stood confessedly before the American people, the father of tho American system, and by the charm of such a word his friends herished the fond hope, he -would oe eated to the Presidency. Now, what was the issues then pre sented ? It wa3 a fierce struggle be- ween the two contending parties the one witti tneir great captain, sumu latir.g them to action, endeavoring b' he most strenuous efforts to supplant the friends of Ihe government, who, nerved to duly by ihe firmness and un wavering integrity of fir lyler, had preserved the constitution safe and un- harmed from tho violent attacks of the IFhigs; and the other, through motives of the purest patriotism, to continue to the country the wise, politic, and whole some administration of ihe government, so gloriously sustained byMr Tyler. It was an alternative, whether he should hava a sound, healthy and vigorous management of governmental affairs, according to the principles oi the Dem ocratic party, -or abandoning a policy which had saved us from ruin, we should raise to power those who under the spe cious cry of protection to American in dustry and Ameiican enterprize, against foreign competition and foreign capital, would have fastened upon the country, all the corrupt and rotten principles of the W hig Party. It was a question whether ihe old land marks ol the Con stitution should bo preserved, or break ing loose from its mooring-, we were a gain lo be launched upon ihe tempes tuous sea of political strife and commo tion. In the election ot Mr. Clav we houid have had a mammoth United States Bank, a high Protective Tariff, to build up the interests ol ihe North and West at the expense of the South, measures which had received the con demnation of the people, but were again to be thrust upon them, to cram then pockets of the hard earnings of their daily toil and labor. He unhesitat'ng ly say, these were me lavorue sciicn.es i of the Whig politicians of that day, which they preached and pioclaimed from the stump & every cider and whi.s key barrel in the country, indulging in the r II ....: - - 1 regard for the people, toeing up iheir caps and shouting to ihetopof the voices, and filling the air with their loud voci ferations, Huzza ! Huzza ! for the, righ's of the people hom. industry and home manufactures. But thanks lo .the s'.ern republican Democracy, they experienced a most terrible defeat, and it is the recollection of their sore discom fiture, that drives them to desperation. and forces them to pitch on General Taylor, a plain and honest-hearted old man, who confesses he knows nothing of politics. What do they hope to ac complish by placing Gen Taylor before the country? We tell you they are playing a deep game, they understand too well how to deal their cards, and they trust they may be able by the bril liant military achievements of an excel lent soldier, lo divert the minds of the people from the true issue, and by his great personal popularity, rush him into office, and thereby secure their own el evation; and what then? "Vhy we shall have a Whig President, a Whig Con gress, a Whig Cabinet and every thing se wing, in the event ot such a state of things, who will preland lo say that uank, land, Internal Improve- ments, &c, are "obsolete ideas, that these are no longer to be agitated in Congress. 1 hey may' be "obsolete i deas" now, and it is the policy of the irhigs to impress this view upon the country, bul remember when we shall have Gen I aylor for our President, and when he shall begirt himself with the omnipotence of a Whig Congress and his Whig Cabinet, and those "obsolete ideas" which have long slumbered in the tombs of the Capulets,shall be cal'ed from their resting places by Ihe magic power of whiggery, it will be then seen that they are no longer dead, but like the ghost of Banquo, live and move in spectral shape and form. In some port ions of the State, demon strations have been made to run a Tay lor and Butler ticket, thereby quieting the nerves of those very sensitive indi viduals who are not prepared to swallow in full extent.the political opinions of Gen ' Cass; such a movement originates only ' in trickery of the Whigs, and is but an other mode of submitting the election of President to the people, keeping be hind the curtain the policy to be adopted by them in the event of success. It is idle folly to talk about running Butler with the Taylor ticket, Taylor is asso ciated with Millard Fillmore, end what : ever democratic votes he may receive, they will strengthen the cause of whig gery and indirectly aid in ihe election of Fillmore, because the Whig party, in electing Taylor, wUl at the same tirne bring Mr Fillmore into power. Where we ask, is the slightest possibility of success offered, if we should settle down upon Ta 'lor and Butler? There cart be none, any movement of the sort will only diminish the moral force and power of the Democratic party, and breed discord and contention in our own ranks, when there should be harmony, good feeling and the most perfect un derstanding among ourselves. In union consists our salety a unity of feeling ana oi sentiment a unity -ot purposes, should characterize our actions. We should be careful to avoid all dissensions and beat down all local prejudices, so that we maintain in their pristine ener gy and strength, the sound and vigorous principles of our glorious and well tried Democracy; for, rest assured, our politi cal foes will lake the advantage of all . the differences which seem to divide ihe party, and will press with energy and zeal, this favorite hobby of theirs, to wit; The Taylor Democratic Builer Ticket. Farmers' Wrttes in Olden 7imM. The duties of fanners' wives, in 'Er gland, in olden times, were somewhat different than is at present ihe case in this country. In ihe reign of Henry, VIII., Sir A. Fnzherbert wrote a trea tise, entitled, "A Prologue for the Vive's Occupation," in which he sav 'It is a wyve's occupation to winnow all manner of cornes, to make maite, lo washeand wrynge, to make heye, shere corne, and in tune of nede lo help her husbaiid lo .fill the muckle wayue, or dounge cane, dryve iheplouglie, tu lode heye, corne and euch oiher, and to to and ryde to the market to .el butler, chese, mylke, egges, chtkvns, capons, henues, pygges, gese, nd all manner of cornes."
