Wax tho South a Party to tho Agroo-
mom.
It is a rotnafkable foot that tho Sou
thern friend* of Douglas'. construotion
of tho Ifunsas Bill olid .the Cincinnati
Platform haVo urged blit, one reason
why tho Saiith should not repudiate a
heresy admitted by nearly every one to
bo worse than the Wilmot Proviso.*—
They use no arguments to prove thpt
he is right and the South wrong; on
tho contrary they acknowledge that
Squatter Sovereignty is unconstitution
al and we aro entitled to Congressional
protection, but contond that wo ought
not todonounee tho one, or demand tho
other.)
Mr. Steplions and Governor Jolinson
havo told the Southern people, In their
letters to tho Maoon Committee, that
although a Territorial, Legislature. has
no power to interfere'with tho institu
tion of slavery In any way, except to
pass laws for Its protection, and that
'the Supremo Court havo also decided
that it is the duty of Congress to pro
tect tho slave-hpldor in his rights, still,
because the South, or rather the South
ern Democracy, .have agreed to tho doe-
trine of nondniervenlionwo cannot in good
faith insist upon a recognition of these
rights.
Now lot us see whether tho South or
even tho Southern Domooratio voters
consented to any such agreement.—
When, where and by whom was the
agreement made7
First, in Congress, by Sou thorn
members and Northern Democrats when
tho Kansas-Ncbraska BUI was passed,
second, at Cincinnati," by all the dele
gates from every seotion, when the plat*
form was adopted ♦, and Anally, it was
ratified at tho polls by the people of the
South when Mr. Buohanqn was elected.
Wo do notpfatond to dispute that souie
such understanding oxisted in Congress
and at Cincinnati on the occasions re
ferred to. We know that politicians
aro capable of any sort of “bargain and
sale,” provided tho cqtuidcration is a volu
ble one.
But we do 'deny most emphatically
that the South, or even Southern dem
ocratic voters ratified tho bargain in
any shape or form} and so far from Mr.
Bqchanan’s election, or the election of
Congressmen is concornod, it was con
sidered at the time by those who voted
for them, as a direct and decisive repu
diation of Squatter Sovereignty. To
non-intervention tho South did not ob-
loot j but it was ncm-intorvcniion by n
Territorial Legislature, as woll ns by
Congress. It was not tho iioti-lntervcn
lion now contended for, tint Congress
should resign all its powers of protect
ing tho owner of property hi tho Ter
ritories, and loavo 1dm to tho tondor
mercies of Squatters, of foreigners just
landed Upon our shores, bearing with
them all their bitter prejudices against
his rights, and of freetoil emissaries
armed with Sharp's rifles and “breath
ing out thveatenings and slaughter”
dgalnst the slaveholder. This was not
the nou-intervention ; but it was, that
Congress should not interfere to pro
hibit or establish slavery in the Territo
ries. .
We now appeal to Urn memory of
every man who heard a Democratic
speech or read a Democratic paper to
boar us out in tho following facts. The
Opposition brought the charge of Squat
ter Sovereignty against the Kansas bill
and the Cincinnati platform. The ac
cusation was indignantly repelled.« All
the powers of eloquence and the subtle
ties of ingenuity were brought into
requisition to prove that thiB“detestible
heresy” was not only not in those in
struments, but that tho author of the
pno and the candidate placed upon the
other did not so oonstruo them. The
speeches of Mr. Douglas and the letter
of acceptance of Mr. Buchanan wore
.largely quoted from to establish their
innocouce and clear tho skirts of the
Democracy of this freesoil stain. Wo
are willing to leave it to Douglas Demo
crats to deoido whether or hot. we are
stating the truth, and wo ask them if
ever they heard at that time one word
about any agreement to turn this whole
question over to tho Territorial Legisla
tures j if ono word was said about Nor
thern and Southern Democrats agree
ing to two constructions, one for the North
and the other for the South, except to
deny it.
If any such agreement was made by
the leaders of the party, they as agents
of the people should have told them
so before they , asked them to ratify
it. .
But instead of that they kept this
clause in tho dark; yes, they practiced
a worse deception still, they denied the
existence of suah a clause, and the ma
jority of tho Sou thorn people belloved
them, and elected*their candidate. But
tho fraud has como to light; tho South
ern people have discovered that they
have been most shamefully,duped, and
have risen almost as one man to repu
diate the dangerous heresy. Do those
trading politicians who practised this

Letter of Hon. A. R. Wright.
Tho Hon. A. R. Wright, of Jefferson,
has written a long and able letter to
Senator Evans of Stewart county. Wo
would like to publish‘it entlto ; but its
length forbids. It contains a clear, cor
rect and full history of Squatter Sov
ereignty and of tho notion of the Demo*
oratio and Opposition parties in rela
tion to It. In answer to tho question
“what policy, consistent with our de
clared opinions upon the slavery ques
tion, is tho best under all tho circum
stances to bo pursued by our party 7” ho
gives tho following as his opinion; He
is not disposed, at present, to acquiesce
in the ratification of the nomination of
Boll and Ererott; it opposed to the
“prqject” of calling a Convention to
nominate electors for Houston and
Everett} is in favor of waiting for the
action of tho Richmond Convention ;
thinks with Hunter, Cobb or Dickinson,
ns its nominoo, we could dofeat Lincoln
in Pennsylvania, Now York* New Jor-
soy and Connecticut} but should the
Richmond Convention bo a failure,
“then fall back in the last resort upon
tho Constitutional Union nominee John
Bell of Tcnnossee,” whom ho bcliovcs
to bo “an able, conservative and relia
ble statesman.”
Naim Fuuit Tubes.—A singular fact,
and ono worthy of being recorded, was
mentioned to us a few days since by
Mr. Alexander Duke, of Albermarle.—
lie suited that whilst on a visit to a
neighbor, his uttention was called to a
largo pencil orchard, every troo of which
was totally destroyed by the ravages of
tho worm with tho exception of three,
and tlwso wore tho most thrifty and
flourishing poach trees ho over saw. The
only Cause of-tholr superiority known
to liis host, was an experiment made in
consequence' of observing that those
parts of worm-entomtimbordnto which
nulls had been driven wero generally
sound. When his troos were about a
year old, ho drove a tonponhy nail
through the body, as near tho ground
ns possible; whilst the bnlnnce of his
orchard had gradually failed, and finally
yielded entirely to tho ravages of tho
worms, these three trees, selected ht
random, treated precisely in the same
manner with the excontion of the nail
ing, had always been healthy, famish
ing him at the very period with the
rrentest profusion of the most luscious
mit. It is supposed that tho suit of
iron afforded by the nails is offensive to
the worm, while it is harmless, perhaps
oven bonofiuini, to the troe. -
A chemical writer on the subject, says:
'.The oxydution or rusting of the iron
provo toe sevore a dose for the delicate
palate of intruding insects.”
Tho writer rocommends driving half
a dozon nails into tho trunk. Several
experiments of tho kind have resulted
succossYully.
Kextcc'kv Papers Bolting Douglas
in Advance.—“The Princeton (Ky.)
Bulletin.a Democratic paper, says: Tho
views of Mr. Douglas upon tho question
of slavery in tho Territories do not
coincide with ours, and what wo believe
to bo the rights of the South, and con
sequently wo most emphatically declare
that wo could not and would not sup
port him for the Presidency.”
The oditor of the Paducah (Ky.)
Herald, another Democratic ipapef,
says: “We can answer for ourself, that
wo shall ; not support! Douglas, nor join
the central clique, nor anything in sup
port of Squatter Sovereignty, but wo
shall Act with the Southern Democracy,
and vote with thorn to the end.”
jQrThe Washington correspondent
of the Charleston Cburitr, Uhdehdato of
of the 11th inst.,says:
Some of the members of tho Baltimore
Convention havo arrived. Tho Douglas
men are coming in from all quarters,
and appear to be inflamed with enthu
siasm and zeal in liis behalf. Any one
who had indulged the hope that tho
Baltimore Convention would harmo
nize eithor upon a platform of prlncl-
( >les or of a nomination should abandon
t now. Nothing is more certain Chan
the foot that the Douglas men come
prepared and resolved to repudiate ev
en the Tennessee resolutions, which the
recent Southern State Conventions havo
also repudiated. Still less will the
Douglas men bo disposed to assent to
the Charleston Majority. Platform.—
A rupture of tho Convention at Balti
more may bo regarded, therefore, ns
inevitable.

A Secretary was chosen from each
Statoin attendance.
Prayer was offered up by tho Rev.Mr.
Duncan.
President Erwin was conducted to
the Chair amid great applause, and
acknowledged tho honor conferred
upon him.in eubstanco, as follows:—
We aro assembled horo upon no ordi
nary occasion. Wo are here to vindi
cate the Constitution, and assert our
rights, which we had hoped to secure at
Charleston, but were ovorpowered by
numbers, and compelled to seek rodross
in oursolvcs. We had honcc) to fiud
overy thing harmonious at tho Charles
ton Convention, but .this hope was falla
cious, owing to the selfishness there
displayed, and no alternative was left,
but to do as we have done. Our cou-
duct has been approved by our constitu
ents, and we are now met here to assert
thoso rights that wero not conceded to
us at Charleston. We meet In no fac
tious spirit, as has beon insinuated, but
to vindicate our Constitutional rights.
Ours is a singular condition. Wo huve
peculiar Southern ^institutions, We
must goon, as wo have commenced,
resolved to maintain our rights to. the
uttermost. Wo must unfurl our banner
of Union, inscribed with the Constitu
tion and our rights, as tho only way
that we can maintain theso rights.
It has been proposed that we shall
not act definitely hero—that wo shall
neither approve nor eondemn * the
course of our opponents; but whatever
we do, must bu douo with the single
determination to maintain our preroga
tives. That serpent, Squatter Sover
eignty, has been stinging us, and for
twenty*five years has been trying to
settle tho disputes about Slavery, and
in all that period lias mado.no progress.
Things ore worse now than ever before,
qnd wo can forbear no longer. I am
willing to play my part, ana take all
tho consequences. I havo no purpose
to dissolvo tho Union, My sympathies
aro with tho Democratic Party. What
ever of protection wo now huyo, comes
from the Democracy } but they have
•ono astray, and aro wandering after,
false gods. We must bring them
back.
I am rusty, gentlomon, in Parliamen
tary rules, but will endeavor to do my
duty, and hope that our deliberations
will result for the ultimate good of the
whole country.
Gov. Lubbock, the retiring Presidont,
made a brief address of thanks.
The rules of the Cincinnati Conven
tion of 1856, wero adopted for tho gov
ernment of this Convention.
Tho Committeoon Credentials report*
ed that they had no jurisdiction over
the persons asking for Boats in the Con
vention from Now York titate. They
claimed not to be regular Delegates.—
Tho Committee suggested that the Coh-
vention extend to them the courtesy of
an invitation to seats on the floor us
spectators. This wus agreed to. Their
credentials give them authority as the
representatives of a portion of tho De
mocracy of New York. Theso were
first laid ou the table, and then with
drawn and formally returned tc
them.
A Committee of one Delegate from
each State, to prepare business for the
Convention, was proposed, when, Mr.
Hatch, of Louisiana, said that he oould
supercede tho neoossityof such a Com
mittee and offered tho following resolu
tions:
llcsolved, That as the Delegations
from all the States represented * in this
Convention are’ assembled upon tho
basis of the Platform, reeommondod by
a minority of the States at Charleston,
we deem it unnecessary to take any
further action upon that subject at tho
present time.
Resolved, That when .this Convention
adjourn it adjourn to meetin Richmond
on Thursday, the 21st of Juno, provided
that tho President of this Convention
may call it together at an earlior or
later date, if it bo deemed necessary.
Some amendments, of un unimpor
tant character, wero offered to tho
above resolutions, and discussed for
a short time by several of the mem
bers, but both were finally adopted.
On motion, the Convention adjoiirned
accordingly, after a session of one hour
and three-quarters.
Whilst this motion for an adjourn
ment was ponding, Mr. Baldwin, of
New York, arose and commenced a ro-
frnotory speech, but was called to order.
The final adjournment then took place,
leaving him standing, with opon mouth
and speech undelivered.
There wore a few ladies in attend
ance, and a fair number of spectators
iti the galleries. The best order and
good feeling prevailed. There wero no
speeches made except very brief re
marks upon the business of tho Con
vention.
Tho objoct was to koop tho ultimate
policy of tho Delegations in reserve
until a future occasion, if any occur, to
require a full development, and the
policyof the Southern States assembled
hero.
It is understood that all tho Delega
tions except thoso from South Carolina
and Florida, will go to Baltimore, and
claim the right of admission thore.
A Panama Beamy.
SayE a correspondent writing from
Panama:
"Sorao of tho Wofaofi ttto remarkably
handsome and gracefal. About ninp
o elook in tho morning, when, tho rays
of the sun wore getting to be powerfai,
I dropped into a houso, which was visi
ble through the vorduro, to got a cup of.
cold water. The heads of the family
had no doubt gone into the forests to
pick fruits, for no one was at homo but
a yoUfig Indian maiden, who started Up
like a startled fawn at my appopranoo,
uml might have fled, if I bad not beep
stationed in the doorway. Forming my •
hand into tho shape of a- drinking-cup,
and elovatlng it to my mouth, I made
known my wants. 8ho was immediate
ly re-assured, and lod the way to a shady
grotto, in the rear of tho dwelling,
where a crystal mountain-spring burst
forth from the gifted rook, while I fol
lowed, in speechless admiration of tho
vision of loveliness whioh floated bo-
foro me. She was attired in a loose
drops of the purest white, »down which
her luxuriant hair, platted in broad, flat
plslti, hung to an almost iuoredible
length. Her complexion was a soft-
tinted olivo—a good, rich color, but yet
so delicate withal that the slightest
emotion was sufficient to-sond the crim
son to her ebooks. Each rounded arm
was enolosed by a curiously shaped and
oostly bracelet, and in her ears wero
strangely-fashioned pendants, some-
whatln tho form of a orescent. Her
forehead was exquisitely chiseled, and
her features almost Greeoian in their
contour. But, how shall I ever describe
those glorious, dreamy eyes, their fath
omless depths of liquid blue, or those
long, drooping lashes, whioh ever and
anon came softly down, like silken cur
tains.
In a picture gallery on Fourth street,
Cincinnati, is a tolerably fair represen
tation of a Southern Indian woman, in
the painting of ''Cortes Burning his
Fleet.” The maidens in Powell's paint
ing of “De Soto Discovering the Missis
sippi,” are still hotter, but both fall far
short of portraying tho. union of evory
quality of grocq nnd beauty whioh stood
in stainless purity before mo. Could an
artist-put upon canvass tho picture
there presented, the shady dell, tropi
cal fruits and flowers, the limpid spring,
and mossy rooks, the rosy skies ana pur
ple mountain peaks, that sweet sad
lace and faultless form, ho might then
lay down his penoll and live upon his
fame forever. As she stepped upon the
slippery rook, with a quaintly fashioned
gourd, to dip up tho clear water, thore
was disclosed a foot whoso polished out
lines had novor beon sullied by tho shoe
of civilization, and which hor native in*
nocmce had novor boon taught to hide,
I could havo lingered long in that ro
mantic) glen, but time would only per
mit me to thank my fair benefactress
by all the signs and gestures at my com
mand, which wore received with such
extraordinary modesty that I stood
abashed at my rudeness. If your cor
respondent had yielded to tho snmo in
stinctive impulse which loads tho wor
shipper of art to bow before the divine
productions of Phidias or Angelo, and
had thrown himself at those fair feet In
an act of adoration, he would undoub
tedly have made a fool of himself, and
therefore wisely refrained.
nicks, the Pirntet
Hicks, tho murderer of tho Watts
boys nnd Captain Burr, on a sloop off
Sandy Hook, has made a confession.—
From his disclosures as to this tragedy
and the hints he drops of participation
in other bloody atroodios on sea and
land, there can be no doubt that ho is a
fulsn of the first magnitude. We have
boon accustomed of Into years to regard
such sea monsters like (licks asoxUting
chiefly in tho realms of romantic fiction
but a perusal of “his own report against
himsolf,” and what is being hourly de
veloped about him and others of his
kind, must startle tho public from this
'delusion .J
This man soems to havo beon engaged
in deeds of blood all his life. Some
days ago tho publication of certain dog*
grel verses dictated by Hicks loti to the
belief that he was an actor in a sangui
nary piracy on the “Saladina,” nnd this
belief was confirmed by tho foots. A
gentleman of Now York who was in
1844 attached to tho United States naval
sorvice, and who was in that yoor in
commission on board a ship on tho Pa
cific station, visited Hicks with a view
to identify him as the Johnson engaged
In the Saladina affair. This gentleman
at oneo recognized the prisoner as the
man who had boen for some years a
“beach-comber” or erulsoron the Span
ish Main, who had boen several timiA
tried tor offences at Callao, and the
identical Johnson who engaged in the
brutal murder of Captain McKonsie
S id his mate on the Saladina. In this,
icks was under tho leadership of a
broth or sea-robber named Fielding* who
subsequently took command of the ves
sel, but Hioksand tho piratical crew be
coming tired of him, also, they held a
counsel about putting him to death and
in his own presence too, and then in
cold blood threw him overboard.—
There will bo no sympathy expressed at
the announcement that such, a repro
bate is to be executed dri tho 13 th of Ju
ly.—Phila. Enq.

A suit has been commenced In tlio-

will set the brains of tho dramatists in a
whirl, and givo work to thoir pons.-The
story runs thus:
"Nearly thirty Years ago, a widow le-
dy, of a noblo and powerful Huguenot
family residing in tho south of Franco,
placed hor olifld with a gardener's wife,
who was to not m Its fostor mother and
nurse. Ono day, as tho young heir wm
sporting before tho door, and the gar
dener's child was lying on a bed In the
oltogo, the nurso hoard tho wlioolsof a

king tlio right orm nnd collar-bone. In ;v
her terror sno rushed to lior husband,
tho door to await tho lady’s coming.—
Contrary to tho Usual casual glnnoo g v-
onbyhor on her previous visits, tho
lady mother Wm sostruck at tho change
of her darling, to tho lean, brown, hun-
gry-lookliig babe whioh she 1 beheld, in
tho place of hor own plump baby, that
voxed nnd oxaspernted beyond measure
alio soiled tlio child in her arms nnd
bade tlio postilian drive away. The
gardener and his wife wore terribly
frightened, but decided to go tlio next
day to the chateau and make an expla
nation, To thoir further consternation
they found tho next morning that t
of tho pesky critter, had. pilod down Georgia, invited the Jepancso' visitors,
on mo, whioh I let go, and entohed tho and nbou tn hundred others, to Willard's
whole of the infernal cantankerous
crow.”
“Caught tho mosquitoes I” said the
astonished olork.
"Wal, I didn't do nothin’else, olo fel
