J ftor boasting of the sounduess of tho Northern Democracy on tho slavery question, Mr. Breckinridge adds: “There is another oloinont at the North’ not largo, but nolle and true. It consists of the scattorod cohorts of tho old Whig party, ofmon like Everett, Choato, and thoir associates, whoso con- servatum culture amt palrutum rtbaud ai/ainst the republican alliance.

John C.

True, tho Consuls wero instructed to stop tho war us soon as possible, but no power was placed at their disposal to conquer a peace.— Moral suasion has not, in this barbarous land, the influence it enjoys in more civilized dimes, nnd only an armed in tervention can convince tlieso blood thirsty Druses that tho European powers are in enrncst. Tho United States Consul lias repeat edly warned tho Americans of thoir danger, and informed them that a resi dence in tho mountains is no longer safe. Many have come down. To-day tho mission at Beirut passed a vote re questing Bov. Mr. Calhoun of Alceip, tho President of tho College at that nluco, together with Mr. Bird, ot Deiril Kenir, to come to Beirut at once. Tho Christians throughout this war have been most cowardly, but the do- fenebof Zahloh, tho most warlike town in Lebanon, was conducted with much spirit. As nn illustration of tiio man ner in which tho desperate forlorn hope of the Christians hchuvod in this last battle, in which about seven thous and Druses nnd A rubs wore engaged in the siege, 1 will refer to one case only at present.

Southcru Baptist 8. 8. Union. The Board of tho Southern Baptist Sunday School Union hold its semi-tin nual session in this place on Friday and Saturday last. Delegates from Georgia Alabama and Tennessoo wero in attoiv dnficG. On Friday morning tho intro duotory sormon was preached in tho Baptist Church, by Rov. J. M. Pondlo ton. On Saturday tho mooting of tho Board, nnd the Mass Convention wore held in the City llall, Rev. Mr. Snead of Tonn., presiding, nnd Rev, A. S. Worrell, of Ala., Secretary. Rov. A. C. Dayton rolatcd tlie history of tlie on torpriso and explained its object to lie tho enoourngemout nnd establishmont of Southern Baptist Sabbath School Literature. At night Rov. J. R. Graves, of Tenth, made a strong appeal in behalf of tiio movement, nt tho conclusion of which about $4,500 was subscribed, which amount was afterwards increased to something moro than $0,000, consisting of Life directorships, Life memberships, nnd subscriptions of $100 each, payable ton annual installments. Tiio frionds of tho Union wore much ploased witli the favor it mot witli in tills plaoo Douglas Opposed to Slavery and in ihvor of Emancipation. Wc liavo always contended, remarks tiio Montgomery Advertiser, that tlie squatter Sovereignty policy of Douglas grew out of opposition to slavery: for on no other ground could tills insidious nnd unconstitutional measure of slavery restriction bo based. Tiio following ex tract from tlie record convicts Douglas, beyond cavil, of tho most radical antag onism to slavery in tho States where it exists. He hopes first to cut off tho K rowtli and expansion of tho institution y means of tho mere power of num bers in the Territories, nnd having bro ken tlie constitutional barriers tor its S reflection, nnd having lot loose the oodgates of Northern .sentiments up on us, ho expects, by means of Emi grant Aid Societies and emancipation in the border slave States, to finally ac complish tho nbolitoiii and overthrow of slavery everywhere. This is tiio Douglas programme, nnd of course lie did not want*to be fettered by tlie con stitutional principle of tlie equilibrium of free and slave States, proposed- and advocated by Mr. Calhoun. But read tiio record, and then let us sea what Southern man will support Douglas for tho Presidency. Wo know there nre politicians at tiio South huso enough to vote for him oven with this black re cord staring them in tiio face; but wo cannot bolievo that tlie honest people, over loyal as they aro to thoir section, will do tiio traitorous deed. Hero is what Douglas said—ovory bodv read: “1 havo already had occasion to re mark that nt tho time of the adoption of tho constitution thoro wero twelve (slave States) and six of them have since abolished slavery* This fact shows that the cause of freedom has Steadily and firmly advanced, while slaver*/ has receded in the ratio.

The Lagrange Jleporter suggests that the State Convention, booh to assemble in Milledgevillo, in addition to theeloo tors for tho 8tato at large, and for tho Districts, appoint sub-Electors for each county, with powor nnd instruction to appoint committee-men for each mali* tia dlstriot to report on the progress of the cause and to fulfill tho purposes of perfect and thorough organiza tion. It strikes us that this suggestion is capital one. Very few, comparatively,of .the voters are reached by the State and District Electors, and the consequence is that thousands of men who intend to do right are decioved and misled by de signing demagogues, for the want of light. Let these county electors nnd committee-men be appointed, and dis seminate light and truth, nnd the suit will be glorious. Tho people love their country and in voting have no other object in view than its welfare it is therefore important that they should know what is best to bo done and they will do it.

Very soon af ter this lie commenced instructing bis father’s servants on tiio afternoon of every Sabbath. His custom was to read a chapter and comment upon it, having first closely studied tho chapter, consul ting Benson, Clark and Wesley on every passage. Ifo nt length began, says a writer to tiio Memphis Advocate, to speak in the lovc-fcnsts nnd class meetings; then to pray in tlie public congregation. His appearance is that of tiio merest boy, and lie seems wholly unconscious of any superior gifts or attainments. IIo now preaches regularly every Sabbath at his father’s place, near town. His parents liavo refused to allow him to enter* the pulpit and supply tbo place of tlie reg ular minister on tlie Sabbath, although lie is often solicited to do so. IIo does nothing without permission from bis parents. Ho attends school and joins in all tiio amusements of tiio boys of his own ago; lie is a mere child every where save when preaching.

When I heard him, hopreach- cd from tlie text, “How long'hultyo be tween two opinions?” Ho preached from notes, sometimes seeming to forget that his notes wero before him. Ilia subject was arranged with perfect sys tem, nnd most logically treated. When through with.his sermon, he closed the Book nnd gavo a brief and touching ex hortation, under which I could, with others but weep. -IHs public addresses published have attracted muoh atten tion, aud should ho live, lie must in his course, leave a broad wake on tho tide of morals.
