It Is truly amusing to watch polltlo- ans and odltors, who, blindod by party zeal, rush uriously about, hero, there, and everywhere, lustily shouting “Hur* rah l for Doolln and McFagln,” and abusing everybody who don't join In ■ tio shout. Ooooalonally they run head foremoet against some stubborn faot, which, In days gone by, they establish ed beyond the possibility of a doubt.— But this doee not set them back much Thoir cranlums -are ablo to stand it, and they have nothing to lose in the way of consistency. For Instanco, wo find tho Dougins pnpors in Georgia diligently at work attacking Mr. Breckonridge’s record.— They assert that a few years ago lie was an emancipationist, and not fit to bo President of ■ tho United States. But four years ago when he was candidate for the Vioo-Presldency thoy did not tell us about this. Perhaps a man who Is uufUto be President, is not disquali fied from being Vico President How Is UI Can somebody explain it ? We have our theory. It is the samo by which we accounted for tho chargo of unsoundness brought by Democrats against John Bell. John C. Breokcn- ridge Is in the way of somo Democrats and in order to remove him they sot to work to prove him to bo unsound on the slavery question. It they can support a candidate In ono campaign and defend him with all thoir might and main, and in the next charge him with political crimes, of which ho was guilty whon thoy support ed him, howoan thoy oxpoot the people to beliovo them, wlion thoy say their presont candidate is sound and reliable? What guarantee have tho people that in a year or two they will not discover that Mr. Douglas was an abolitionist all this time? That’s the quostiou we would like to have answered.

A Man Killed in Presence or ms Wive.—Tho Now Orleans Delta, of July 4th,says: It appears that Ocorgo Sehwurgor, a peaceable and hard-working yopng uuiiuiu, min wiiiimi anuuiu, II jiumiuiu, bo prevented by those who are opposed to such n consummation. This may bo dono. It Is practicable. Tho support ers of Lincoln and Hamlin arc confess edly a minority of tho voters of tho Uni ted States. There cannot ho a doubt of this fact in tho mind of any intelligent man. Tliolr opponents outnuniW* tauu by liundrods or thousands. How, then, may lids minority exorcise the legitimate power which belongs to minorities? IIow may the majority elect their candidates and defeat the candidates of the minor ity ? Evidently, by uniting their strength ; by uniting upon a single set of miniidates, who are in every respect, patriotic, faithful, mitinnnl, able, expe rienced, and witli characters untarnish ed morally and politically. Thoy have hosts of friends and supporters in every State in tho Union. They have proved by their acts, no less than by thoir words, that they are devoted to tho interests of tho whole country, nro faithful to the Constitution, ami possess the elements of great popularity. They may bo elec ted. There is no good reason why every national constitutional man iu tho ITtiion should not support them. Thoro is no reason why every man who does not desire tho success of tho Black Republicans should not unite up on tho Nntiounl Union Tickot. Nobody doubts that if all tho national men of the country would thus vote, Boll and Everett would he triumphantly elected by tho jieopluover Lincoln and Hamlin. Further than this, nobody can doubt, that if all the national men of the South would unito upon thorn this fact would infuse such life and enthusiasm into *ho national men of tho North and West as to enuso them to come up to tho support of Bell and Kvcrcttt in Hiithcicntstrength to elect them. Tho struggle, therefore, really rests with the national men of the South. If they support the Union Tick et, it will ho elected in spite of anything its opponents can do. Tho national men of the Union can unito upon Boll and Everett, but they cannot upon any other candidates. The personal and |>o- litical animosities of the late Democrat ic party rondcr tho latter impossible.— "’his “ * * Speech of President Buchanan* result is further mado wholly im practicable by virtue of the groat unpop ularity of tho Administration through- state Conventions. Tho Executive Committes of tho tlireo parties in the State lmvo issued calls for ootiventions to assomblo in MiliedgeviUo —the Douglas convention on tho 24th of July—the Breckinridge convention on the 8th of August—and tho Boll con vention on tho 13th of August. Wosoo it roooinmondod that tlio Douglas Con vention bo postponed until some day in August. We think the best plan would bo to postpone it indefinitely.

Rencke instantly drew a Unite and thrust it into Hchwurger’s side, up to the hilt, and tiion made his escapo. Schwnrgor staggered back, nnd foil into tho arms of his terrifiod wife.

While the Douglas ticket will have but a shadowy existence, if any at all, in several of tho Southern States, the Breckcuridge ticket will hnvenn equally shadowy existence, if any nt all, in quite as largo n number of the Northern and Western States. But the Bell nnd Ev erett ticket is strong.and will be stronger in numbers nnd influence, both North nnd South, nnd in every State, with nn exception or two, in the Union. Hence, they furnish ncotnmon ground of Union, of harmony. Standing upon tho Con stitution and the Union as upon a great high rook, thoy afford a common nhit- fovin, upon which all tho friends of nut common country, in its unity and integ rity, in its grandeur nnd true glory,may stand. Is it not so? We appeal to men of common sense of all parties to Washington, July 10. —Senators Brown and Davis, ana Col. Thomas B. Florence addressed the meeting Inst night, .n addition to tlioso already mentioned. • A lettor was read from D. S. Dickin son, saying that he will support the nominations not only because he re gards tho candidates as personally and ]>oHticnlly worthy, but because thoir nomination emnnates from States which con pivo Democratic votes in the electoral collego, and because tlieyjare, therefore, representatives of the Democ racy nnd its principles. Tho President, on being serenaded at tho White House, mado quito a long speech, lie expressed his gratification at tho nomination of Brocken ridge and Lane, bccauso they were good nud truo men, who would always be found ut the post of duty, nnd above all, because they were lovers of tho Constitution and the Union, nnd in favor of equal rights to tho people of all sections. Ho gnvo the history of tho establishment of tho two-third rulo in National Conventions, which was in order to prevent anti- Democratic States from combining with a few Domoeratic States to nominate a candidate disagreeable to tlioso States who would have to elect him. Neither Brcckenridgo nor Dotiglus got the regu lar two-thirds nomination, lienco any Democrut was at liberty to voto for eith er ns ho preferred. The President then went at somo length into argument, to show that eacli citizen of any oucStnto has tho same right to the protection of ids property in the common Territories with any cltirens of any other States. When the peoplo of a Territory forma State Constitution, then they can settle the question of slavery for themselves. This is sound Democratic doctrino, nnd this beautifully harmonises with the best interests of all, avoids strife nnd tumoil, nnd obviates the difficulties heretofore experienced iu tlio ease of Kansas. In conclusion tlio President said, that this was probably the hist political speech he should ever make. U is posi tion rendered it improper for him to participate in tiic canvass, although his heart was in it. He s|>oke of the long time that he had been acquainted with tlio City of Washington, ami wish ed all its citizens uninterrupted lieallli and prosperity. Mr. Cobb, In a few brief remarks ex pressed confidence in tlio success of tho Breckenridge and Lnno ticket in No vember, ami urged all good Democrats ily to to lubor zealously to that end. flf-grTlio following is tho opinion of Daniel Webster—tho groat expounder of the Constitution—upon tho subject of Squatter Sovereignty, tukon from a ipecch delivered in tho United States Senate in 1850: lion. J* C. Breckinridge’s Letter of Acceptance. Washington Citv, July Ctk, 1800. Dear Sir s—I have your lottor of tho 23d ultimo, by which I am oftioiaBy in formed of ray nomination for tho office of President of tho United States by tho Democratic National Convention lately assembled a’, Baltimore. The circumstances of this nomination will justify mo in referring to its person al aspect. I have not sought or desired to be placed heforo tho country for the office of President. When my name was presented to tho Convention nt Charles ton, it was withdrawn by n friend in obedience to my expressed wishes. My views had not olinnged when the Con vention ro-nsscmblod nt Baltimore; and when I heard of tho difforoncoa which occurred tlicro, my indisposition to be connected prominently with tho canvass was confirmed, and expressed to many friends. Without discussing the occurrences which preceded tho nominations, and which are or soon will bo understood by thecountry, 1 luivo only tosay that lap- proved, ns Just nnd necessary to tho pres ervation of tlio national organization and the sacred right of representation, tho action of tho Convention over which you continued to preside; and thus ap proving it, and having resolved to sus tain it, 1 feel that it does not become mo to select tlio position I shall occupy, nor to shrink from tho rcs|>oiisibililies of tho past to which 1 have been assigned. Accordingly I accent tho nomination from a sense of public du ty, ns I think, uninfluenced in any legree by tho allurement of ninbi tion. I avail myself of this occasion to say that the confidence in my personal and public character, implied by the ustion of tho Convention, will always bo grate fully remembered, and it is but just ujtio to my own fadings to express my gratification at the association of my name with tlmtof my friend Uon.Lane, a patriot and u soldier, whose great ser vices in the Hold and iu council ontitlo him to tho gratitude ancl confidence of his countrymen. The resolutions adopted by tlio Con vention luivo my coidiul approval.— Thnv urn In nil mn-O nt’ *1... IT..i«.i . of intercourse and brotherhood, and to impel it onward in its groat career.

Lot tlioso be the rallying cries of the peoplo, I trust that this canvass will be con ducted without rancor, and that tom- perato arguments will tako tho place of hot words and passionato accusations.— Abovo all, I venture humbly to hope, that divine providence, to whom wo owe our origin, our growth, and all our prosperity, will continuo to protect r beloved country against all danger, foreign and domestio.

Rich clustering vines arc twining Around her lonely tomb, And iu Spring tho brightest flowers Mingle their sweot perfume. While the sighing zephyrs murmur A low and plaintive sound, Tlio happy angels are guarding Her little grassy mound. Citt Improvements.—Our city contin ues to improve. Two of the remaining lots, left vacant by the fire in January 1859, are having fine brick stores erect ed upon them. Messrs Retese & Bay- .ard are building one, and Messrs. Smith AOmberg the other. Dr. R. C. Word is putting up a neat brick office next door bolow J. H. McClung, and Col. Shorter is building a briok store on lot abovo J. E. Berry A Co. Mr. O. B. Eve's Car riage factory is up, and thomachinory being raovod into it. It will soon be in operation. Worth Noticing.—Buyers of dry goods are reminded by R. S. Norton A Bon that at the first of this year they marked down their prices and required payments to be made on the 1st of July for all goods sold before that dato. But from this time to the 1st of Jan. this firm retain their low prices and give as long orodit as those who did not roduco for short credit. It is not necessajy for us to state that the Nortons keep the very bat of goods and always offer them at fair terms. See Advertisement. The Uoobac (Mass.) Tunnel.—The distancotobo cut through the mountain for the Hoosao Tunnel is four inilos and half, und tlio material to bo cut lirough is hard mica slate, intermingled withqunrtz. Tho height of the tunnel is to be eighteen fact, its width four teen. Tho work got* on slowly; tho rate of advance is only two ami n half facta day. On tlio 31st May tlio workmen lmd reached just 1983 feet into tho mountain, from the east end. The dis tance mado on the west sido is about 800 fact. Tlireo miles and a half of solid rock yet lio between tlio workmen on tho east side and tlioso on tho west sido As tho work is now dono by Masting (not boring,)it will require at loost ton or twenty years to finish tho tunnel, unless somo new nnd moro per fect machine for boring is brought to bear on the work. There arc now eigh ty wookmen engaged, night and day, working in gangs, eight hours each nt a timo. Tlio distance between tho highest point of tlio mountatn and tho tunnel below, when finished, is not less than two thousand fact. These, then, are the salient point* of tho canvass. They can be shown in figures, and wo shall take nn opportu nity, nt our leisure, to exhibit them in this way. Now, what wo wish to say, distinctly, this morning, to ull tho friends of tlio Constitutional National candidates, is this; There me tons of thousands of good men, patriotic and national, in ev ery Southern Stato, who, in consequence o'.' the late rupture, are entirely undeci ded what courso to-take in.tho present condition of things. Every throb of thoir hearts beats loyally to tlio oneness and greatness of our country. They wish to voto in such a way as to show their attachment to tlio principles of thoir heroic fatlicrs, who established our institutioxs witli much labor and many snori'lccs. Thoso men loathe tlio idea of disunion ns nn unclean nnd suicidal thing. These men livo on their farms away in the interior, nnd take little in terest in polities. Their sources of in formation are but limited. They may see a one-sided, section'd sheet now and then, and occasionally hear a speech. “The argument is, Hint by possibility it may become necessary to pass laws re spect tngsluvory if it.diallevcr exist thero. Now, 1 suppose that tho amendment proper to tie Introduced for the purposo which has been signified by tho gentle men wlioliavo spoken, would Le to strike out those words, und to say that the territorial legislature shall have no authority to pass any law for establish ing or excluding slavery in tho territory. It appears to me that this is the upshot of the whole mutter. Tliut is very pro per, because I tako it that tho meaning of tho whole is tliut this question shall bo loft to tlio people of the States to*de- cido after it becomes a sovereignty by admission into tlio Union on the snmo footing with tho originnlStates. It may then be a question for tho peoplo them selves to decide, liecuu.se I take it to bo clear that it is a municipal question.— It is a (lucstion for tlio decision of the people iu thoir State sovereignty, ami there may bo a propriety—there certain ly is no impropriety—in excluding the exorcise of any power in the territorial government for the establish meat or ex clusion of slavery. Hotel For Sale.—Graham and Moore offer desirable Hotel property in Cave Spring for sale. Cave Spring is perhaps tlio most pleasant and prettiest village of its size in tlio up country and with proper effort might bo made a place of considerable summer resort. A daily Stage (lasses each day through tlio place and the dinner House is here for pas sengers coming up. M9*0n to-morrow night in St. Peter’i Church Rev.

The Bio Race.—From W tykes' Spirit of tho Times, of Thursday, last wo copy the following: They aro just.to all parts of the Uuioti, to ull our citizens, native and naturaliz ed ; and thoy form u noblo policy for any administration. Tho questions touching the rights of persons und property, which Imvo of Into been much discussed, find in these resolutions a constitutional solution.— Our Union is a confederacy of equal sovereign States for the purposes enu merated in tho Federal Constitution.— Whatever tlio common government holds in trust for all tlio States, must bo enjoyed equally by each. It con trols tho Territories in trust for all the States. Nothing less tliun sovereignly con destroy or impair the rights of per sous or of property. The Territorial governments aro subordinate and tem porary, ami not sovereign ; hence they cannot destroy or impair tho rights of persons or property. While thoy con tinue to be Territories, they are undci tho control of Congress ; hut the Con stitution nowhereconfaisonany branch of the Federal Government the powei to discriminate against the rights of the States or* the property of their citizens in tlio Territories. It follows*that the citizens of all the State; may enter tlio Territories oftlu* Union with their prop erty, of whatever kind, and enjoy it during tho Territorial condition, with out let or hindiatico, either by Congress or by tho subordinate Territorial gov ernment. These principles flow directly from the absenc e of sovereignty in tho Terri torial governments, and Irani the equal ity of the States. Indeed, they are es sential to that equality, which* is nnd for has been the vital principle of our Whon ovening's shades are gathering, And dews are falling fast, I oftem wander to that spot To dream ubout tiie past.

Francis B. Muktiia. The Difference Explained. Tlio Columbus Enquirer thus shows the difference between tlio Compromise of 1850, lor which tlio Southern Whigs are responsible, and the Knnsns-Nebras- ku bill, for which they are not respon siblo: Tho acts of 1850 provided that tlio Territories of Utah and New Mexico should bu admitted as States, with without sluvory, “as their constitutions might prescribe; and Congress retained the power to annul or veto any act of tho Territorial Legislatures.

The proprietor of tho track, Mr. Henry Col ton, adds$5,000 to the stakes, no that the race will bo for $20,000. Four mile heats is the test to which these famous racers will have to put their powers.— The value of the stakes, and tho repu tation of the horses engaged, combine to make this ono of tho greatest races of modern times. Hero we lmvo three of tho greutest performors of tho ago, perhaps, and thoy stand ns tho repre sentatives of three of tho greatest stal lions tliut the world has seen. In this race Planet, the best of Revenue’s got, Daniel Boone, by Lexington, dam by Glencoe, and Congareo, by Glencoe, dam by Monarch, will come together. “When Greek meet Greek, then is tho tug of Tlicro are their chief reliance lor in for ma lion concerning tlio events that aro taking place around them. The Presidential contest will depend upon tlio votes of tlioso thousands in tho interior, upon whom tlio subjeot of polities in a party sense rests lightly, and who aro ready to vote patriotically. Wo must, therefore, roach these men— all of them. Wo want to present to them tho great points of tho canvass in a clear and perspicuous light, bo that thoy can survey tlio whole ground nt a glance. For this purpose, therefore, wo need organisation. This is tho desideratum upon which tho wholo quostiou will turn. Wo must circulate documents and papers containing tho truth. That is wlint we want, und that is what wo must have, to succeed. Every parish in tho State should lmvo an cffcctivo par ish organization, nnd evory ward an ef fective ward organization. A Stato or ganization is, of course, indispensable, to which tho parisli and ward organiza tions cun apply for papers nnd docu ments. Lot this he done, nnd lot speak ers bo appointed for every parisli in tho Stato. In a word, lot tlio Bell nnd Ev erett organization bo mado thorough and complete throughout the Stato, and it is ns certain to cast its electoral votes for these distinguished men as tho sun is to rise. Tho Alabama State Conven tion lias appointed parisli electors in addition to State electors. This is a capital idea nnd should bo adopted by tho State Convention of Louisiana. Lot tho friends of Bell nnd Everett throughout the South organize—organ ize every where. Let rich men who do not wish to engage actively in the canvass, pay, and Tot the young men work. It has been advanced tliut these peo ple, while a territory, lmvo u right to do anything and everything that belongs to tlio rights of u inun. I can not con- coivo’that they Imvo. * * * * Wo lmvo alwaysgonoupon the ground that these territorial governments wero in a state of pupilage, under tho pro tection or patronage of tho General Government. The territorial legisla ture 1ms a constitution prescribed by Congress. They have no |>owor not giv en by Congress. They must act within tlio limits of the constitution granted them by Congress, or elso their acts be come void. The people under tlio ter ritorial governmont aro not a sovereign ty ; they do not constitute u sovereign ty, and do not possess any of tho rights incident to sovereignly. They are, if you so Mease to denominate it,in astute of inchoate government and sovereignty. If we well consider this question upon the ground of our practice during the last half a century, I think we will find one way of disposing of it. It is our duty to provide for the people of the territory a government to keep the peace to secure their property; to assign to thorn a subordinate legislative authori ty ; to assign to them a subordinate ju dicial authority; to see tlmt the protec tion of their persons nnd the security of their property are all regularly pro- Coiistitutioiml Union, settled Legislatively—settled judicially —and aro sustained by right reason.— They rest on the rock of the Constitu tion—they will preserve the Union. it is idle to attempt to smother these great issues, or to nusrepieseiit them by the use of partisan phrases, which are misleading and delusive. The people will look beneath hi« h expressions as “Intervention,” “Congressional * Slave Code,”anil tho like, and will penetrate to tho real question Involved. Tho friends of Constitutional equality do not und never did demand a “Congres sional Slave Code” nor any other code in regard to propci ty in tho Territories. They hold tho doctrine of non-inter vention by Congress or by a territorial Legislature, either to establish or pro hibit slavery, hut they assert (justified hv the highest judicial tribunal in the Lniou)tho plain duty of tho Federal Government id all its departments, * secure, when necessary, to tho cilze nf .,11 Cwi C2,«lf.kO I 1... rtl* ,1..

Thero was no semblance of squat ter sovereign ty there, and no gap left down for ag gressions that would render Congres sional intervention for the protection of slavery necessary. But tlio Kunsns-Nc- brasku hill did not limit tlio action of the Territories in respect to tho exclu sion or toleration of slavery to “their State constitutions.” On the contrary, it ailirmed "Thai it is the true intent ana linn of this uct, not to legislate shivery in- // TEliUTOHV or Mate, nor to exclude, it from, but to leave the people thereof per fectly free to form ami regulate their institu tions in their own tray, subject only to thi Constitution of the. United Mates.” Neither did Congress, by the provisions of tho bill, retain any power to annul the acts of the Territorial Legislatures, but evi dcntly contemplated leaving the ques tion entirely with them at any time when they might think proper to legis late upon it. They both have availed themselves of this-license, by exclud ing slavery by the acts of their local Legislatures, nnd Congress lias not even entertained a hill to repeal these Terri torial nets. “Both by their provisions and by their practical results, therolore, tho Territo rial bills of 1850 have operated for tlio irotoetlon of slavory, while tlmtof 1854 iuh operated to its exclusion.” of ull tlio States tho onjoymeiiL of their property in tho common territories, os everywhere else within its jurisdiction. The only logical answer to this would seem to bo, to claim sovereign power for tlio Territories, or to deny that tlio Constitution recognises property in tlio services of negro slaves, or to deny that such property can exist. Inexorable logic, which works its steady way through clouds and passion, compels tho country to moot the issue. Thoro is no evosivo middlo ground. Already tho s s gns multiply of a fanatical and growing party which denies that under their Constitution, or by any other law, slave property can exist ; und ulti mately tlio struggle must, come between this party and the National Democra cy, sustained by all tho other conserva tive elements in the Union. 1 think it will ho impossible for a candid mind to discover hostility to the Union or a taint of sectionalism in the resolutions adopted by tho Convention. Tho Constitution nnd tho Union reposo on tho equality of tlio states, which lies liko a broad foundation underneath our whole political structure. As I construe them, the resolutions simply assert this equality. Thoy demand nothing for any State or section that is not cheerfully concfidodto all tho rest. It is well to remember that tho chief disorders which have affiicted our coun try, lmvo grown out of tho violation of Stato equality; and tlmt ns long ns this groat princinlo has been respected, wo lmvo been Messed with harmony and pence. Nor will it bo easy to per suade tho country that resolutions nro seetionnl which command tho support of a majority of tho States, and .... proved by the bone and body of tho old Democracy, and by a vast mass of conservative opinion everywhere, with out regard to party. It has been necessary, more than once in our history, to pause and sol emnly assert the true character of this Government. A memorable instanco occurred in tho strugglo which ended the civil revolution of 1800. Tho Re publicans of that day, liko the Democ racy of this, wore stigmatized as tlis- unionists; but thoy nobly conducted tlio contest under tho Constitution, and saved our political system. By a like Constitutional strugglo it is intended to assert and establish the equality of the States, as the only basis of union and peace. When this object, tinnnl » i.« tional, so Constitutional, so just, shall bo accomplished, tho last cloud will dis appear from tho American sky, nnd with common huuds and hearts tlio States and the people will unite to de velop the resources of tho whole coun try, to bind it together with the bonds 1st JANUARY, 1861.

In the New Orleans itec of November 20th, 1839, appeared the following account of tlio “noblo Count’s” departure from that city. “Count Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, whoso arrival in this city was announc ed in several of the papers, lias loft New OrleuiiN in high dudgeon, nnd for just'reason. He was yesterday morn ing informed by tho proprietors of the St. Charles Hotel, that it was custo mary for gentlemen traveling without baggage, (tlio Count was splendidly provided in that way for a man of his titular demonsions) to pay for thoir hoard iu advance, whereupon the fol lowing dialogue transpired: “Count—My name is sufficient guaran tee for my bill.” “Publican—Your name Count, is a very good name, but it won’t buy market.” “Count—Make out my bill.” “Publican—It shall be done.” The clerk thereupon presented tho bill, made out in the numo of Count L. N. Bonaparte. “My name,” said tho Count, “is Louis Napoleon Bonaparte—I wish it so statod in full on tho account.” A second bill was mado out, nnd the entire name written out iu lair legible letters. “My name,” said tho Count, “is Louis Napoloon Bonaparte, Princo ofSogora, Kamsclmtkn, and other dependencies —say so in tho bill,” responded the sprig of nobility. “i will not make out a third bill,” said tho clerk. “Then I’ll bo d—d if I pay.- itl” suid his Excellency, and forthwith absquat ulated.” The Secret of Eloquence.—1 owe .... success in lifo to one single fact, name ly •—At tlio age of twenty-seven 1 com menced, and continued for years, the process ol daily rending and speaking upon tlio contents of somo historical or scientific book.
