VVe purposely let the lirat

aee how our neighbor would get itself

to act fairly, and we believe* that it will
come as near doing so as it is possible for
a democratic paper to come, in ail case*
in which it consults the rrcord for itself and
} does not take on trust the aaaerliona of oth-

belie re the statements of others, and thus'
gets sometimes tangled up into difficulties
like that of which we a'c now writing. In
this case, it shows its discovery of its mis
take by the “erratum’’ copied above and

In the last Americu* Aewt we find a let
ter from y. C. Elam, E«q., the American
candidate for Congress in this District three
years ago, in which he announces his de
sertion of the cause of Bell and Everett
and his accession to the ranks of Breckin
ridge and Lane. IIis reasons for taking
this course are either the most singular or
the moat honestly avowed that we have yet
seen from any of the Opposition recruits 10
the Mecrder*. He says that he goes over to
Breckinridge ‘‘without a dimunilion of con
fidence in Bell and Everett that ‘‘there
is nothing in the platform of Bell and Ev
erett which show* that thev are themselves
prepared to yisld the essential demand* of
the South,” and that “the friends of Bell
can exhibit a record which, it would seetu,
ought lo satisfy any reasonable Southern
man.” Mill, Col. Elam luarchta olf from
us and joins the Bcccdert ! Why t In
his own words, “My first objection to Bell
and Everett is, that wu have no guaranty
that their election would quiet tho country.
“My second objection is, that they do nol
stand the ghost of a chanco of being elect
ed.’ • reader would naturally conclude,
then, tuat Col. Klara goes for Brerkinridgc
and Lano because thry are free from these
objections which debar bis support of Bell
and Everett. Not a bit of it ! Ho says
that “Breckinridge and Lano stand event
slimmer chance of election than Bell and
Everett.” Then why ioea Col. Elaui leave

The amende i* altogether iuaufitcicnt,
we -ball proceed lo show.
Mr. //ell not only never voted to abolish
slavery in thn District of Columbia, hut he
fish tho slave
tho District, the continuance of
which trallic of course included the contin
uance of slavery. We know that tho Tinut
has copied from other paper* garbled ox-
tract* from a -perch of Mr. Bell, in which
ho conceded the power of Congress to abol
ish -lavtry in the District, and declared
that if it were practicable to secure thereby
guaranties that tho North would cease it*
anti-slavery agitation, and if compensating
advantages could he obtained for the Booth,
he would ho willing to sen the scant rem
nant of slavery in the District abolished,
and the negroen removed from thn country;
hut he at the sumo time expressed the opin
ion that this whs impracticable, and never
favored any measure to do what he said ho
would be willing contingently to accede to.
Tho very speech in which he made this ad
mission was one in opposition to the bill to
abolish tho slavo trade in the District. It
whs a good Southern speech, which the
Timet will no more publish entire than it
will publish tho whole' nf Breckinridge's
speech st Frankfort. Indeed wu are satis
fied that our neighbor would sooner pub-
lisli the Frankfurt speech in full than this
speech of Mr. //ell.
Now as to tho power of Congress to shol-
ish slavery in the District of Columbia. It
is very different from and much more am
ple than any power delegated in rc*pcct lo
the Territories- The constitution vests in
Congre-s “exclusive legislation in uII ca*o*
whatsoever” over the District of Columbia.
Mr. Van //uren when ho was a candidate
for the Presidency, admitted that lhe*e
comprehensive word* gave Congress power
abolish slavery in the District, and the
whole Democratic party voted for him with
this delcaration fresh on his lipt! Mr.
//uchatian claimed this power fur Congress,
and the Democracy supported him four
years ago as thu otdy frinml of tho Mouth
and the only candida'o whoso election
would securo her rights (in Kansas and
elaewhcre !) Hon.'Wm. It. k Ktng, ol Ala.,
RU-tained Mr. //ell In his admission of the
power of Congress to abolish Ihe slave trade

elsewhere. But wo are sati-fied that there
is no necessity for s panic on this subject,
or for any contracts fur the procurement of
corn st prices near so high ns the present.
The crops of rnsny Htste.1 of tho North-
went are sliuttdant, and their great grana
ries can supply the continent. Il is the
opinion of tho heat informed business men
hete—gentlemen who havo taken pains to
inform thein-slvcs in to tho extont of the
prohahlo demand and supply—that when
tho new crop of tho Went cornea freely in
to market, corn can he laid down horo at
HOc. to $1 per bushel ; indeed, we hear that
one gcutlemun proposes to furnish any
quantity st 90c. Our peopls who are ap
prehensive ol still higher prices than the
present, and who are disposed lo embrace
almost any offer to supply them with corn
at any price within tho hounds of reason,
will therefore st-o that (hero is no good
cauae for much of their alarm. Tha fail
ure or insufficiency of their own crops is of
course a great loss and much to bo regretted,
but we are convinced that they need not
fear “famine prices.”
The following extract, sustaining these
views, is from a letter of a gentleman of
excellent judgment und correct observa
tion, who, as it will bo seen, has exten
sively traveled and collected information
this subject as a matter of business. He

weeks ago willing to support Mr. Douglas
fur the (’residency, nnd he voted for the
hill lo abolish the aluvo trade, which Mr.
Bell voted against! 1* not Democratic
consistency a redesniing political trait ?
But to the recorJ. Mr. Bell made his I through Micbigi
speech on the bill te abolish the slave trade dec., sati-fie* in
in the Diatrict, in IBbO; and this is the
speech, on the -trrnglh of garbled extract*
from which the Timet charges him with
favoring tbo abolition of that trude and the
abolition of the remnnnt of slavery in Ibe
District. That those charges miaiepreaenl
him i* fully proven by the fact that he vo-
ted against the bill, because it did not se
cure lo the .South tho compenaalion which
he demanded for such a concession. The

We print thu name* of the Democratic

Bell, 1 for Douglas, 1 lor Breckiundge, and
1 for Houston. Ol the passenger* on tho

and Everett. The*e may be small things
