Every body seemed to be there; The Idjdie.s with their prettiest faces.and brightest smiles, cheering on their husbands, fathers,! brothers and sons in the good cause" old "men" who hrtd long since lost the fire of youlji, but who still feel that they have a countryj to save -young men full to brim with etjthtisiasm the farmer, the mechanic the professional man", not excepting min isters of the gospel all, of every age, aiid sex, and class, and condition, were there. The whole country for a mile square seem ed literally alive with human beings, and crowed? with horses, tents, and vehicles of every description. It was, we repeat it, a great rally a perfect outpouring worthy of the cause which, we confidentially believe,. is t!eti'ied to sweep over the country like a hnrieinc, and finding its parallel only in the timi'S of 1810. Gov. Morehead, as President of the day, called tlie immense assemblage to order a bout 11 o'clock -tin Friday. His opening remarks were excellent. Indeed, he sur passed himself in dischajging his part of the occasion. His remarks introducing Mr. Davis were particularlyjHoqueitand appro priate.- 5 We never-witmJssed anything more handsomely "done. We are not prepared to give even a mea gre outljne of the speeches, and if ye were we should not do tlie distinguished orators the injustice to-attempt it.

We yere particularly struck wilh that part of his speech in w hich he re marked upon the miserable brag game that the locofocos are attempting to play in their nnisy, jediculons rants about Fillmore's standing no chance, and the race being sole ly between Fremont and Buchanan, in the estab- ithin the HI carry - , ... as party certainly will he, of the foieign and c.1tho1i. volea TjlC contest iilv hls we f .rmnd opmion i solely heureen Fremont and Fillmore.

On t'-r next da-, 'Saturd 'V the crowd was little if anv less than th at of the day before. Mr. Nash made the opening speech and a glorious speech il was. Many had heard b'm heretofore and anticipated an in telectual treat. They .were certainly grati fied. We bad never bad the pleasure be fore, but certainly shall not be .slow to enjoy it . hereafter, whenever Mr. Nash makes a speech in reaching distance of us. Mr. Boyden's effort was rich and rosy in the extreme, and full of that pith and point for which Mr. B.'s eTurts are .always tlis tinguisl.ed. He, like Gov. Graham, is an old line whig, heartily endorsing tbe Amer ican nominees, and consfdering the pros perity, if not the very, existencft: of the coun try dependent upon their success in the ensuing election. Gen. Young of Charlotte and Mr. Bre vard, of Concord, likewise addressed the meeting verV briefly, but effectively and el oquently. We regret that they were com pelled by the necessity of being at the tie- pot in time for the western train, to be so brief. We should have, been much gratified to h ive heard ibem at greater length. A fier a xecess. of half an .hour Mr. )avis; again took the starid for the lapl speech.- Our only objection to this was its brevity . It was too short entirely. Mr. Davis ,ougJit to have spokivanother hour at least. .We need-say nothing more of the effort except that it was .equal to that nf the preceediug day ; and fully .sustained the-very high rep utation he bad gained by that. After, a few 'remarks from Gov. Morehead -soul stirring and earnest such as he knows so well how to make, the meeting was adjourned with three hearty cheers for Qimer three mo-e for Fillmore and Don elson, and three for the orators of the occa sion. K Thus ended the Martinsville Mass Meet ing. It was in leed a great occasion, and long will be it remembered hy those who participated in its enjoyments. There was nothing to mar the general pleasure no disorder or rowdyism of any kind. Every thing passed off hrtppily and gloriously, and we are satisfied that much good' was done for the cause of Fillmor?, Donelson and Gilmer. Let our friends in every County, or even in every Congressional District get up such a meeting, and secure the attendance -of such orators as we hatf, and a political fu ror would be exerted "that' would, w ithout question, swrep tbe "Stare like an'avalanche ii November next.

Ahem ! The "ten cent slander." as the StandartI calls it. was used by Democrats in tbe Cincinnati Convention as an obstacle in the way of Mr. Buchanan's nomination. We have this upon the authority of the New York Evening Tost, a leading Democratic paper. Whether or not the intention was "to mislead and humbug" we leave for them to settle bet ween themselves. But in order to clench thp nail upon this rery sore suh ject (o the Stand -rl. here is the; evidence which puts nil doubt, to flight on th's score. Il isjust as plain and emphatic as the nasal protuberance in Mr. Ilolden's fnce, or as well authenticated ;i" is the fixed fact, that the Editor of the Standard was formerly an anti-Buchanan man I imself; Ecce signum! "The undersigned deem it due to truth and the country to state, tint they were present in tlie Senate of tbe Unitetl States on the 23d of January last, and heard the speech of the Hon.

And tcv f irthers.iv, that in said reply, there is no misrepresentation of the remarks of Mr. Buchanan, antl that' their understanding of the arguments and reason ing of Mr. Buchanan on that occasion, was the same as th.it of Mr. Davis, and by him set forth in such reply.

We all know what Mr. Davis accused him of the same -"ten cent" charge that was used against Old Buck by Democrats, in the Cincinnati Convention, and the truth of which is above, corroborated. G'long there IV Stand from under. The Elephant Is going to Hiiceze. "If it were possible to defeat the election of MrBuchanan, the recent course of cer- i tain Democratic members of Congress on tlie subject of Internal improve men;?, would precipitate that deplorable catastrophe upon the country. Against the tradit ional policy ol the party, against its- latest declaration of principle in the Cincinnati Platform and despite the protest of the President, three j Internal Improvement kills have been enac- ted by the aid ofbcmocr.uic votes. Never have we known the mass of the Democra- ev in this State, and we may say through - i out the South, so humiliated and incensed as by this instance. of prodigate subservicn- cy to local predjudice. No occurence since the organization of the Democratic party has so shaken the faith ofthe people in its firm ness and fidelity. Our only consolation is, that it is not within the power or a few re creant individuals to debauch and demoral ize our noble party. The fidelity of the mass of the Democracy will correct the mis takes of those erring leders, and will still h'dd the party to its originat principles of States Rights Strict Construction, and E- NO. 2. eonomy of Expenditure. In President. Pierce they admire and applaud an I incor-' ruptible representative of their lime honored creed. By Ids vetoes he has errected a lan lmark to which" all true men may adhere in the present flood of heedless and extrav- laid waste by the inundation. - The thing is done; and we refer now to the painful event, for the simple purpose cf protesting against tlie wrong, in the name fnhe Democracy of the South. We want it to be distinctly understood that; though pretended. leaders may attempt to ejecusc a deviation from principle on some flimsy pre text, the party promptly and emphatically A repudiate any responsibility for their -misconduct. With the. mass of tlie Democracy, ; the power and patronage of the Presidency are as nothing, in comparison with the ve ry least of the precious principles which they inherit from their forefather. 'May the men who w ould mislead us pause before the organization of the party is destroyed be yond the hope of repair !" ' The above is from a late number of the Richmond Enquirer. That immaculate printroiihl hold in no longer. It had to rail out against this ripping up of the Anti Internal Plank in that lovely Platformor it must burst. But pray who are thosc"few recreant individuals" who have been doing all this mischief? Why, the following 10, leading Democrats, who have all f worn (a dice'rs oaih) to support that same platform in its integrity. Here is the vote on the Bill lor removing obstructions from the mouth of -the Mississippi. The names of ! the Democrats who voted aye are in italics: Yeas Messrs.

Thirty- one Senators voted for the Bill, and 19 of them are Democrats leading De mocrats too ! a few recreant individuals" indeed! There are 16 Democratic ayes" and 12 Democratic "nays." Does the Richmond Enquirer" understand Arithme tic ? ' ' If the Eirquirer is so distressed for the loss of this one plank in the Pla'Ti.. L -the "recreancy" nf a few individual, what has it to say to the conduct of the few re creant individuals' who tore out the Squat ter Sovereignty" plank? We know Mrj Buchanan cannot speak. He leaves all the speaking to the Platform. " What then will the Platform say? Will it not enter its "solemn protest" against ihe -deep damnation of this taking off ?" Al ready the nominee cannot stand on it, at he promised to do. . He has no-yboZ-hold. He is obliged to lie on it, as sprawlingly aa possible too, to save himself from falling and to keep "recreant individuals" from tearing it to pieces. We hope that Sena tors Bright, Cass, Douglas, Slidell and oth ers, will not spii on the Platform. It. would be by no means decent to spit: on James Buchanan and we do not tee how it could well be avoided, inasmuch a he has sunk himself in or rather on, the plat form; and so incorporated himself with it. that they have become pretty unanimously one and-the same.

The Ict and the Rallot Cox A benevolent genius the correspondent of the Presbyterian Herald, suggests that hereafter be elected by vote of the Congrega tion. Tbe Correspondent no doubt feels that the profession of a clergyman is too quiet and monotonous for the aciiVe spirits engaged in it at the present day. Like the discontented rowdy, tney are -spun ior ! a fight." It was different a few centuries j ago, when a fighting abbot might head a i battalion in the field and refresh himself I witn a iew ury khocks on .uciu .u ... j enemies. But modern custom forbids a clergy man's exactly travelling on his mus- cle, arid hence he can only indulge himself in the war of words.- Hence the necessity ofthe clergy entering upon political discus sions, and it is no doubt with a view to ' withdrawing them from electioneering for Presidential candidates, which meets with tolerably strong objection from members of " congregations, that this correspondent par- poses to make them electioneer for 'them- ; ncives.
