Foucho’s Speech. The Breckinridgo and Lano club mot on Thursday night to hoar tho re* port of tho oommlttooon constitution. Col. Fouebe was announced to speak, and on audionco, somowhat larger than the Douglas meeting on Tuesduy night, and like that, composed largely of mem bers of the other pnrtios, assembled to hear him. Wo did not hear tho first part of his speech, hut loam that among other things, lie said tho platform of tho Constitutional Union Party adopt ed at Baltimore -“Tho Constitution, the Union and the enforcement of the laws”— was the “broadest platform ho oveFhehrd of.*’ This may ho so, and we nre not dis posed to question tho truth of tho as sertion, for the history of parties estab lishes tho fact that horotoforo no plat form has como up fully and squarely to all the requirements of tho constitu tion. Whether the constitution is too broad for Col. Pouolio, or not, wo can not say, hut wo heard him in a lengthy, labored, nndahlo argument, attempt to to demonstrate, and wo think success fully, that it wns broad enough to ox- tond over all tho Territories of tho Union and protect the settlers from every Stato wliilo thero, in*tho enjoy ment of all their rights of person and property. This constitution is not one inch to broad for our platform, and we have not before heard of any who thought it wns, cxcopt Mr. Dougins and Ids followers, who contend that when wo omigrato to the the Territories we pass beyond its reach, and place our persons nml our property undor tho man agement and regulation of alien and froesoil Squatters. Whon we entered tho Hall, Col. Foucho was charging tho friends of Bell and Everott with inconsistency in re fusing to support Breckinridge and Lane. He said truly that wo had for at least live years contended against Squatter .Sovereignty and for protection*, hut lio alleged that tho only way to ensure thoVuceoss of our principles was to place the Breckinridge Democracy in power. Hove wo any guaranty that such would ho tho ease? Wo aro told that tho platform denounces Squatter Sovereignty, utid unequivocally assorts our right to protection when necessary.— But when is it necessary ? Olonrly when a Territorial Legislature, in the exercise of Squatter Sovereignty, passes a law prohibiting slavery. Kansas has pass- od such a low, and Breckinridgo Dem ocratic Senators refused to vote for a resolution declaring it nre re fan/ that Congress should repeal thoseu ncousti- Tks poUio nro reipoolfiilly Invlleil to onll tutlonal restrictions.

Ho thawed that a sovereign was supreme, but that a Territory was not only the creature of Congress, hut that tho organic act which brought it into being could he abrogated at any time, and that all laws, passed by a Territorial Legislature ore subject to revision and repeal by Con gress.

Squatter Sovereignty was carefully ox- eluded from tho compromise nets of 18- 50, which declared that a Territorial Legislature should have no right to es tablish or prohibit slavery.

In your last wcokly issue, you stuted in an editorial, that alotter was found In Broad-street Rome, whiuh purported togivo certain information from a corres pondent, at Boston, In relation to a general insurrectionary movement in Georgia. You could not, nt tho time decido whether it was “a poor joko or awful roulity,” as there was a myste ry connected |wlth the epistle undor consideration. Some throe or four days ago, a rumor wns stated that a keg of powder had been found under tho Bip- tist Meeting Houso in Romo and matches were near it, already for an explosion, by which the congregation ■o to he destroyed &c. These things now regarded ns hoaxes, and tho silly jests and senseless cackle of fools nmy bo heard over the country in re gard to them. What might, under or dinary circumstances, pass as ajoke or mischievous freak, and do no harm, may now, in tho crisis through which passing, do infinito injury to tho pcnco and even safety of tho peoplo.— When congregations «ro assembled for tho purpose of worshipping God, their fears are aroused to such an extent by the rumors of |towdor kegs undor meet ing houses, that thoy worship in confu sion and dismay rather than in a devo tional frame. This is not tho only ovil arising from such hoaxing. Tho more suggestion is a misohievouB nud dreadful evil in its tendency. In all probability no such thought had over entered the brain of tho obtuse negro as that of de stroying a neighborhood at a singb blast, until the bright genius whoorig- ated it gave publicity to it. Now we may not ho surprised at such occurrences; as desperadoes among the wiiites ami blacks hnvo been put in possession of an idea or plan by which to commit wholesale murder nml de struction. A keg of powder and a match will now sutlieo to do moro mis chief than all the pikes, pistols and arms placed by alKilitiouists in the hands of our slaves. An evil suggestion is ryinous in the extreme. Kden would jfover hnvo been lost by our First Bar ents hud not Satan suggested disobedi ence to Eve. Another evil is calculat ed *to arise from this outrageously fool ish hoaxing. We do not now know what to believe when wo hear .of plots, insurrections and disturbances. We cannot separate the falso from tho true, in these days of hoaxing, in time to go to the rescuoof distressed communities. We instead of rushing to aid in emer gencies, now must wait to seo what it means, whether it bo true or not boforo wo can go. Wo remember the fablo of tho wolf and the sheep. The «1io|h herd boy cried wolf, wolf, until ho hoax ed his neighbors into disboliof, and then, when tho wolf did como his cries were fruitless and the Hock wero de stroyed. It may lie a plan to lull tho peoplo until a plot swooping and de structive can he inaugurated and enact- od by our foes. Let'us, fellow citizens, discountenance this untimely hoaxing and seek to suppress it, kindly if wo can, forcibly if wo must; as it is evil in its tendency, and only ovil.

On examination tho skull on the back part ot her bead bad been crushed as if by a brick or stone, nml thero was a small rope around her nock, u«ed doubtless, for the purposool strangulation. A coroner’s inquest was hold tho result of which has not ranch ed us but which no doubt gathered all tho facts that could lie elicited. A ne gro man, about twenty-one years of ago, belonging to D. Curry, Ifcq , has boon arrested on suspicion of committing the deed, ns he was seen by l)r. Miichcll, (who was returning from a professional visit to the residence of Alex.

W*Mr. Bell is a large slnvoho)dor.— When sueh is tho case, it is useless for Democratic politicians to attempt to humbug the Southern people into the belief tlmt hois opposed to tho protec tion of slavery.

Strength of the Union in New York. Tho New York Herald of the 18th inst., speaking of tho i-opular strength of the Bell mid Douglas combination in New York for tho defeat of Lincoln The Secret of Taming Horses, A correspondent of tho Now York Express submits the following method of horse taming: For tho oil of cummin tho horse 1ms i instinctive passion, and when the horse scents tho odor, ho is instinctively drawn towards it. Tho oil of rhodium possesses peculiar properties—all ani mals seem to cherish a fond ness for it, nml it oxereises a kind of subduing in- fiucnco over thorn. To tamo horses, procure somo castor, and grate it fine; also get somo oil of rhodium, nml oil of cummin, and keep tho throo separate in air-tight bottles—rub a little oil of cummin on your hands and approach tho horse in tho field on tho windward sldo, so tlmt’ho can smell tho cummin, “’ho horso will lot you como to him without troublo.

Fanny Kern Smashing Furniture.— Tho Now York World tells tho follow ing anccdoto of a well known author- “It is related of a personago, more less mythical, named Fanny Fern, t stopping at tho office of a Philadelp hotel to pay her bill; on the eve of her departure, sho found a charge for break ing her toilet set. Sho admitted tho breakage of ono pieco, and desired to pay for that, but for no more. Tho price of the wholo set, however, was de manded, beenuso tho ‘sot 1 was broken. The carriage wns at tho door; tho train soon to start. Thero was no timo for discussion, Uttlo for thought, butcnoiigh for action.

Thoro is something suggestivo as well ns beautiful in tho following incident.— It reminds us of thosowho sing the siren song of pleasure wliilo the voyage of lifo is about to terminate. Whon tho ship South Seaman struck on tho Fronch Frigate Shoal, two little canaries which tho captain had hang ing in his cabin, wero awakoned by tho norno, and rognrdlcss of tho confusion around them commenced singing somo of thoir inimitnblo songs, though it was hardly day-break. Tho little song sters continued to sing with untiring zonl “Tho swcotost songs oar evor heard” during all tho timo tho sailors wero get ting roady to loavo tho vessel, ns if to cheer thorn up in their disheartening sit uation.

Thoy who havo seen tho oWools of n change of fashion simply upon many laborers may form some distant idea of the con- scquonco of turning millions of proper ty and laborers into now channels.— Timo may turn a soldier into a farmer, but death would overtake him before employment, whero thero wore prac tised fanners enough to supply tho de mand. Now, 1 could say much moro to show tho utter impracticability of emancipa tion in tho United States, oven upon tho scoro of humanity, but onough is said until what is said bo fairly answer ed. Until it is fairly answered, and some practicable means is pointed out of ridding ourselves of slavery, I enter my most solemn protest against all de nunciation of our country on account of it. It is liko denouncing a man be cause ho carries an incurable discaso; and coining from British lips, it |is liko stabbing a man, and while catching bis blood to work into puddings, nbusing him for bleeding, and crying out aU tho time, “Cureyourself! curoyoursolf! or koep out of decent company !’* But if ahuso, villification, sarcasm and con tempt aro to bo the lot of slaveholders, let it bo tho lot ofi slaveholders alone, and of those alono who thrust them selves unbidden into thosoeioty of thoir betters.” * * * Tho Kpistlo has boon an cnignia to commentators for sovontoon hundrod years. That it is tho fruit of Divihe In spiration, has never been questioned by Christians; .and-Jt is but a letter from Paul to a brother, pleading for a run away slave whom ho sent home to his master. Read it and seo tlio Chris tians who joined in it. In Paul’s day they did not steal negroes, and murder i seemed to all inovft- i onco saw a lecturer upon experi mental philosophy placo a cat under tho glass receivor of an air-puran for the purpose of demonstrating that life can not bo supported without air and respi ration. Tho loe.turer had alroady made several strokes with tho piston in order to exhaust tho recoiver of its . air. when the cat, who began to feel herself very uncomfortable in thorarified atmos phere, was fortunato enough to discov er tho sourco from whcnco her uneas iness proceeded. Sho placed hor paw upon tho holo through whioh tho air escaped, and thus prevented any more air from passing out of the receiver.— All the exertions of tho philosopher woro now unavailing; in vain he drew tho piston; tlio cat's paw effectually prevented its operation. Hoping to ett’ect his purpose, he again let air into the recoiver, which as soon as the cat porceivod, sho withdrew hor paw from tho aporturo; but whenever ho at tempted to oxhauBt the receiver she ap plied her paw as boforo. The speohv- tors clappod their hands in admiration of tho cat’s sagacity, and the lecturer wns compelled to remove her, and sub stitute another cat that possessed less penetration for the cruel experiment. Singular Freak of Electricity--Man Killed by a Flash of Lightning* The Hov. Mr. Williams of this city, just returned from a visit to Murfreesbo ro, gives an account of a singular death by lightning, which occurred in that place on Sunday morning last. Tho passengers on the morning train for Murfreesboro from this oity, had just taken their seats in tho omnibus at tho' Murfreesboro Station, about 4 o’clock in tho morning, to ride up into tho ,city, whon a heavy shower of rain commenc ed falling, accompanied by frequent flashes of lightning. *Tho driver of the omnibus was just about turning the hor ses heads to drive into a Livery Stable for sliolter, whon a flash of lightning de scending, killed a man in tlio doorway of the stable just in frontjof the horses’ heads, and his body lind to be romoved to allow tho vohiolo to pass. Another moment, and tho omnibus with its hu-> man freight would havo mot the force of tho lightning flash, and perhaps eve ry soul would havo boon instantly kill- oil. We did not learn tho name of the unfortunate man who was killed.—Nash ville Banner. their masters. Thero wore no Browns and Hugos in those days. Philemon was beloved by Paul, was doubtless a preacher, and had Church in his house. Is not tho enigma now solved? Can we not now boo why tho Kpistlo was in spired?
