'‘Consistency 1* it jewel” that doe* not glitter in the Democratic crown. The Southerner denounces tho South ern Opposition, Representatives in Con- griM"m trait ore to their section/* and charges tlioin with Indirectly aiding the eloctlon of a Black Hopuolicati, bocauso they refosed to vote for a Douglas- Squatter-Sovereignty - Frcesoilcr, and when wo remind our friend that five Democrats from South Carolina and four from Alabama were guilty of the same act of ••treachery/’ we are told that “they aro extreme men—Jisunionists/’ In other words, the Southern Opposi tion members in refusing to vote for Modern and leaned too for Forth, but when tlio Southern Democrats did the same thing they leaned too far South.— Wo fear our friend in “boxing the com pass” has "got himself in a box.” Ilut why would not those “oxtremo moa” support McClornand ? Because of his “detestable heresy of Squattor Sov ereignty,” and it must have boon ex ceedingly “detestable” if it was enough so to prevent Democrat* from voting for their }>arty nominee. Mr. Hill gives tho same reason why ho and tho rest of his party acted with them, and the South erner alleges that it is “a miserable sub- terfuge ” and their course was prompt- ol “by hatred in tho breasts of the Know-Nothing members for the Demo cratic Party.” That this is not true is prorod by Col. Underwood himsolf, who testifies in his speech that “one of his colleagues. (Mr. Ilardomnn,) had voted oftener for a Democrat than any other member of hi-* party, and Ids other col league (Mr. Hill.) had occasionally voted for a Democrat,” and it was at a time too when that Democrat had a better chance of being eloctod than MeClernand. for I10 received tho vote of all the Southern Democrats. Tho Southerner laments “the dlvidod spectacle tho South prosenUod” owing to the fact that “tho seats of tho Know- Nothings wero not filled with Demo crats.” We hope it may ever be so, rsther than behold the humiliating spectacle of a United South marching up in a solid body and casting their votes for a Sjuatler-Sovereignty Free- soilee. The nomination of MeClernand at the juncturo when his name brought forward, was a contemptible trick to entrap the Southern Democracy and have them fully committed to the supj>ort of Douglas. Wo rejoico that not one South American could ho found to aid in tho election of such a man; wo honor those nine Democrats who could not bo induced to dishonor them selves and their section l*y such a course, and wo deeply lament that many Southern men should have shamefully bowed in obedience to par ty dictation. These same men will cheerfully support Stephen/. Douglai if he bo the nominee of tho Charleston Convention, and his chances in that body have boon multiplied since their support of his right hand man in the House. What will be tho result ? Let Senator Fitch, of Indiana, answer. He says by such a course tho South will loso An Interrogatory for the Southerner. Our neighbor has recently been pro pounding questions to us which wo have answered promptly and fairly. Wo tske it for granted that the favor will he reciprocated. Wo thor'efore ask our friend whether ho will support Stephen .1. Douglas if he be nominat'd hy the Char leston Omvcntion. We would like to havo a categorical answer. Wo don’t want to know whether he has any “chance of getting tho nomination,” nor whother ho will he “preferred to a Republican.” We want to know simply whether tho Southerner will advocate his eloctlon If tho Delegates appointed to tho Convention should make him tho nominee of the Democratic Party.

This he consents to do, and they all stop out and look the door after thorn and leave him there to play Solitaire iu the dark, until next morning. Wo hope this game will prove to bo a profitable 10 to tho young man. DoyAt a meeting of tho Volunteer Company on Saturday night E. ,1. Ma- gruder was elected Captain, S. H.

All expected a ply, and rare sport, as a matter of course, but they were, for that time, dis appointed. Some days after, however, when the House, tho lobbies, and galle ries, were full, Randolph obtained the floor to speak to some resolution then mibHoaiuVarty than any effort of tlmt under conSSoration.

With in imitablc elocution, which hushed the Houso into the most perfect silence, he turned to tho scat occupied by his rude sympathy of friends,” and adds 1 “If the South nominate the Senator alluded to [Mr. Douglas,) with his jircs- *ent views, tho ontiro North will deem tho act an expression of willingness up on thoir part that his views shall be come tho future nettled policy of tho (Government; tho unitea North will act upon that policy, carry it out to tho full, and no aid must be expected by the South from any portion of the North in any effort thoy may thereafter make to prevent tho progrosa of that policy to tho end. When by such act it es tablishes Mb policy, tho South, and the Senator from Illinois [Mr. Douglas,) will have done more tn accomplish the favorite and avowed scheme ot tho Re- surrounding tho Southern States with freo territory and starving out their in- Htitution; for undor that policy, organize a Territory where you may, whether it be in tho ’Dakota of tho North, or the Arizona of tho South, the bold, ad venturous, non-slrtveholdlng frontiers men of tho West, whose movea bles includes no luxuries, whoso nec essaries aro readily supplied by the nxo and tho rifle, will go into the Territory, possess thomsolvos of its Leg islature, and exclude Southern proper ty, whilo tho owners of that property are packing up thoir household goods and preparing their chattels for roiuov- al." We do not supposo the Southerner will accuse Senator Fitch with being an “extreme man—a disunionist.” Let tho South take warning from a Northern man. The first step towards “doing more to accomplish tho favorite and avowed scheme of the Republican party than any effort of that party cun do—the scheme of surrounding tho Southern States with free Territories and starving out their institution,” was taken, In tho nomination of Me* Clefnand, a Douglas Democrat and his support by Soutliorn Democrats for the Speakership; the next step was taken when Southern papers approved their course and condemned those who re fused to betray the rights of their con stituents by doing likewise; and tho last and fatal step will bo taken when Stephen A.

Were I compelled to indite an unfor- vorublo criticism upon uuy part of tho hibition, the “Penitent Son” would be my subject, not from lack of talent on the part of tho uctors, for they were sufficiently dumb and motionless, but from some defect in tho plan, which rendered it rather stiff and unnatu ral.

One bright summer's morn ing two green buds appeared upon the troo ; very small they were at first, it U true, but uuy by day they grow in size nml bonuty, onoli day growing lovelier, till ono morning they appeared upon the stem* fwo beautiful white roses.— With strange delight they raised their lieuds and looked tremblingly around but nought in tho green valley resem bled themselves ; and, with wonder at their new found existence, step hy step they neared each other, and twined themselves into ono. No longer were they unnoticed by all, save by the pear ly brook. Tho other flowers of the field acknowledged their superiority, and howod thoir heads hafore them ; but the twin roses heeded them not. All day long their perfumofloated through tho valloy, casting sweet incense on the summer air, and us night drew nigh silently they crept together, closed t heir pale leaves, and hung their modest lieuds towards the stream. Then tho bright stare came forth ; the pale moon silently performed her journey on high; tho tail trees bowed their green branch es as tho breeze swept through them.; and tlie night birds sweotly sang till morning dawned. Once a pebble roll ed down tho mountain into the brook causing its pure waters to dance on all sides. Then the dew drops kissod tht pale roses; andug:iin tin? brook, flowed on iu; before. Oh ! then how beautiful was tho valloy! Glut the white roses wero not alwavs to deck tho stream.— Ono day u rude hand culled one of the flowers and boro it from its companion. Days passed, but the now solitary rose held not up its head as formerly ; si lently it drooped, and finally withered; and tho roses wero soon forgotten by nil the brook iu the valley.

A portrait, by Gilbert Stuart, of this great soldier and statesman, may ho seen, very bad ly engraved, in the “History of the United State.*/’ but it was taken when the Genornl was in the act of chewing tobacco, the left cheek is distended out of proportion, and the likeness render ed very unsatisfactory.
