ROME, Q-A.
TUESDAY MORNING, Sept’r 4.
for your approval ftt the coming olootlou.
Our uooplo will thus be permitted to en
joy the privilego of creating at least ton
thousand Duck republican votes in a sin
gle day, as an equivalent for the wile of
their robratentfttives in the .Senate anil
Assembly. A great .responsibility rests
upon Now York in the ponding contest.
Tho certainty that our csipdidatos are .to
carry a large majority of the Southern
States makes it apparent that the real
interest is between Mr. Bell and Mr.
Lincoln, and that the vote of our own
State, in all probability, will *«»*» l,, o
scalo between them in the final result.
If the national nioti of the State, who
are opposed to tlio wholo system of
strife and agitation carried on by the re
publicans, will but unite and act in con
cert, they undoubtedly constitute a largo
and decisive majority of tlio people.”
The frequent and hearty responses
made to these statements gave unmis
tnknble evidence of tlio concurrence of
the vast auditory. Mr. Hunt concluded
his address with the following curliest
appeal:
So far as our own Stato is concerned
thoro is hut one question worth consid
ering. Shall Nuw York he sectional oi
national? Shall she take her appropri
ate attitude ns the foremost of the l lil
ted States in population and power, and
hold out tlio olive brunch to nil her sis
ters, and proclaiming her sentiments of
concord and affection toward tluin all,
and her inflexible determination to sus
tain tlio compact of our fathers
true spirit of friendly union and nation
ality? Ur shall she ‘swing from he"
moorings”—sepnrato from tlio Smithori
half of i lie republic, and become one of
a combination of Northern and disuni
ted States to grasp tho^owm* and pat
ronage of the national government, an
nouncing to tlio Southern people that
she is henceforth to ho'found only on
tlio sido of irrepressible conflict and
never ending strife. Again, I repeat,we
must decide ’whether the Empire State
shall bo national or sectional. A mnio
solemn and vital question was never pre
sented to our pooplo. Let it be decided
by itself. In comparison with it the
Constitutional Uniox Nominations.

Correspondence of the Courier.
New York, Aug. 29Ui, IHiiO.
Last night. Ex-Gov. Hunt, tho Prcsi-
(1,'iit of th» NnuBnitl Convention thnl
nominated Bell and Kvorctt, addrossod
tho “Contral Conunltteo of tho National
Union Clubs” at their rooms, 054
Broadway. Tho meeting was “largo
and enthusiastic,” and I use this novel
phrase not because of its nownoss, but
because it is in this instance, at lonst,
emphatically true, Tho largo Hall was
densely crowded, and it was decidedly
tho most enthusiastic mooting l over
attended in my life.
Gov. Hunt is a tall, line-looking man
—neither portly nor slender—of fair
complexion, and his very looks impross
one with an exalted opinion of Ills can
dor, purity and moral and Intellectual
greatness. IIo is no great orator in the
ordinary nccoptqtion of tlio term, yet
his clear views of truth logically ar
ranged and forcibly expressed, in short
torso sentences by pure anglo-sixon
words that can ho understood by all,
rendors him a highly interesting speak
er. Ho doos not use n superfluous
word nor utter a sentonco that is not
full of meaning.
As our readers all know, tlio Douglas
and Bell men of this Stato have made
a combination electoral ticket having
on it 25 Douglas men and 10 Bell men.
Tho Breckinridge party of New York
have already taken initiatory steps to
join in this coalition anil thero is now
very little doubt but that theso three
partios will be united in one solid pha
lanx against Black Republicanism.—
Tho grand object of Gov. IIunt r
speech was to defend this action of
theso parties against tho assaults of tlio
champions cf tho “irrepressible con
flict.” Tho speaker stated and proved
by the oflicial reports of the results of
Into elections that tlio Republican party
are in a minority of at leust 40,000 in
the Stato of New York, and ho urged
that in a crisis liko tlio present it is tho
patriotic duty of all good men to sink
all minor differences and to form a
“Union for tlio snko of tho Union.”—
There was not a taintof sectional fanati
cism in his entire speech, but it was a
most earnest appeal to tho patriotism of
his hearers to now unite and save tlio
country from tho dangers that would
result from tho election of Lincoln and
tlio administration of tlio Government
by tlio adherents of tho “irroprosslhlo
conflict” and “higher law” doctrines.
In regard to tho false charge mndo by
tlio Black Republican papers of the
State that tho Boll party had been sold
to Douglas he said s
Perhaps it is enough to say that tlio
ten Boll electors wore selected by a
committee oi thirty-two of tho most
learned and reliable men in tho com
munity, representing the Union party,
and accepted by tho State Convention
of tho supportors of Mr. Douglas, with , rftl . .. . .

[communicated.]
Messrs Editors Eneourngod by
ycur liberal. and truly magnanimous
cause, I am constrained to ask a place
in your columns, that 1 may attempt *o
analyze the doctrine of intervention,
and protection, so us, to show tho dis
tinction betwoptv tho two, and that
in tho distinction, there is a difference.
Tho doctriuo of intervention, implies
the right to interfere, to intermeddle, to
weaken, to injure, to impair, to hurt,
to destroy. And the fact that politi
cians uso tho term, as implying the pow
er to build up, or aid, us well as to pull
down, or hinder, doos not in tho least
impair the force of t the.«o significations.
It is not claimed that this is the stric
literal meaning of tho word interven
(ion, nor do I suppose any roasonahl
man of cither political party wishes b
ho confined to such, for if wo wero t<
■ to I
to hot wot
political
dinary interests ot pnrty, the fortunes of
of candidates, personal consequence* of
ever}' sort, are as dust in tlio balance.—
l would present the issue singly and
have it decided by a direct vote, that wo
nmy know and understand where wonro
and what wo are. Freemen of New
York! the question is with you, and
many a patriot ‘heart looks forward to
your decision with deep anxioty, but
with firm, unwavering confidence in
your Intolllgonco.your natriotiodevotlon
and your ability to maintain those prin
ciples of national unity which consti
tute us ono country and ono people.”
Tho meeting was composed of substan
tial, good looking men, and tlio feeling
seemed to prevail that Lincoln will be
defeated in this State. If so, then Bell
or Everett will be our next President.—
Tjio BrockinrWlgo men hero entertain
no sort of hope of carrying a single
Northern State, and since the Southern
elections their condition is that of ” fiat
despair.” - At. 1).
gQT*On Saturday we found ourselv
ono month ahead of.timo, our paper on
the outside being dated October instead
September, 1st.
Our columns are crowded to-day.
and ono or two communications nro nec
essarily postponed.
flSy.Y volunteer company is about
being organized in Calhoun, Gordon
County.

Tho Montgomery. (Ala.) .Vail states,
upon the authority of a pnssonger from
Atlanta, that a Northern white n
ring tho late excitement near
villo, was run down by dogs mid killed
by tho citizens. This is a mistake;
snob occurrence happened.
vould be too vagiD
I statesmen.
But wo sco that it is generally if not
universally admitted to imply the above
significations, noF docs it in anywise
do violence to its litoral meaning. This
being the ease it is readily perceived,
that non-intervention means non-inter
foreneo, non-intermeddling Ac. So
that tho doctrine of non-iiiterventioii
simply moms that Congress shall not
interfere with the rights of property in
slaves in the territories, so as to im
pair, hinder or destroy that right, nor
doos it ask that tho right shall ho estab
lished built up or supported by Con
gress, but simply let it alone, giv** it a
fair showing.
Now wo wish to oxainir.o the doctrine
of protection, and discover, if possible,
hat there is in it at variance with tho
octrine of non-intervention. Tho
ord does r.ot mean to build up, to es
tablish or oven to aid. It certainly
mid have to mean this, and morotoo,
to infringe upon the doctrine of r.on-iu-
rvoulloii.
1 ask then what does tho word pro
tect signify? It may and does doubtless
iguify to guard, to defend, to hold
harmless. Take thou'either or all of
those signification*, or any other that
may be brought to bear, and can you
find in them anything n Inch implies to
establish, to Imild up; or on the other
hand tho right or power to interfere, to
impair to hinder, or destroy? Certain
ly not.
l’roteetion is asked then, not to build
up or establish a right, which is already
established and hold, under the consti
tution, but that the right may bo bold
harmless, guarded, defended, protected,
(if you please) from interference, inter
meddling, intervention whereby the
right may bo impaired, hindered, injur-
cd, yen, destroyed.
Now it is strange, passing strange to
me, tlint protection tdiouid have
been regarded as synonymous with in
tervention. To niy mind there is but
one way to come to such a conclusion,
and tliut is to regard slavery, ns an out
law, as a nuisance, a* existing without
law and requiring local or municipal
law to establish it, having no existence
under the Constitution. This is the on
ly process of reasoning which can pos
sibly tnrtuuo the two doctrines into tlio
same signification. Audi had thought
ill recently, that thero was no c
i he South, no one but a rabid, veno
mous Abolitionists, who was capable of
such reasoning. In this connection 1
would like to call tho attention of true
men at die South to a correspondence
«>1 the Rome Southerner if’ Advertiser ot
last week over tho signature of ,J. A.
Stewart, of Atlanta. It does scorn to
me that such a course of reasoning is

Thirteen years ago yes tor day, Col.

Such courage in a man is always com

A most extraordinary case is now try*

that he should he buried in church,and
a handsome sum paid to the priests on
condition that “nolodv should laugh
while the service was going oil.” ifio
intelligent defuuet had observed that
undertakers and priests permit them
selves very often to take hilarious liber
ties with death, and ho was determined
that he should be buried with tlio grav
ity appropriate, to the grave. Of course
the odd request got noised abroad ; all
‘ie village eamo to dio funeial: and
gory hotly keeping an eye on everybody
else to see that nobody should so much
as wink, tlio natural result followed. A
fat priest lio.ir tlio eollhi was the lir-t to
breakdown: dicchnir hoys,in tin* frailty
of their youth,followed the fat prie. t tie
minor canons, trying to stop tho choir
boys, oral least to ni.ikn them “laugh
out of the wrong side of their mouths,”
caught the contagion and began to
shake their sides; the deacons w-ont off
next into a (ull giitfaw, and iinallv the

Chief Justice Tnucy ami the Drcd
Scott Case*
Tlio Washington Constitution, of the
24th tilt., says:
f* The bead notes of tho judgment in
tho Dred Scott case wero prepared by
tlio bund of the venerable Chief Justice
Taney. This is a positivo fact. Wo
know it to he so.”
The head notes contain tho following
principles:
1st. The Federal Government, ns tho
agent and trustee of tho people, can ex
orcise no power over tho rights of per
sons and property in tho Territories
which is prohibited by tho Constitution,
and the rights of tlio Government and
tho citizen in the Territories nro clearly
defined and limited by tho Constitu
tion.
2nd. Tho Territories having been ac
quired for tlio equal and common bon©-
[it of all, Congress lias no power to dis*
3t‘imiunte in favor of tho citizens from
any particular .State, or in favor o( any
cins* of persons.
1r 1. Every citizen bus a right to tako
itli him into the Territories any article
of property which tho Constitution of
United States recognizes as proper
ty.
Ith. TlieConstitution recognizes slaves
property, and pledges tho Federal
Government to protect it: and Congress
ixercise any more power over it
than it can over any other species-of
property.
tli. The act of Congress, therefore,
prohibiting slavery is unconstitutional,
ir.d tho residcuco of a negro in such a
Territory does not cntitlo him to free-
loin.
•ith. While it remains a Territory
’engross may legislate over it within tho
scope of its constitutional powers, and
tablish and regulate a 'Territorial gov*
iituent, hut with powers not exceeding
inso conferred on Congress itself, in
respect to tho rights of person* ami
property.
If any ono doe* know what the .Su
premo Court decided, that one is Chief
Justice Taney; and the position taken
by Mr. Douglas, that tho only question
decided was that Dred Scott was not a
citizen, and that all the points laid down
in the head notes were obiter dicta, has no
more foundation in fact than it before
bad in reason. TiiuSupreme Court have
declared, not only that Congress has no
power to prohibit slavery, but a Territo
rial Legislature has no .-U'li power: and
Mr. Doiiglu*, if he has no regard for his
plighted faith with his Democratic broth-
n, still, a* a good citizen hound to
abide l>y and carry out die law* of tlie
land, ho should ahaii'h u liU uiu oiiMitu

tion of tho entire ticket. Tho ten
names wore chosen and accepted with
tho full knowledge that they nro ear

and that three of thorn wero delegates
in tho National Convention which
nominated those candidates. Ho felt
morally certain that if oleoted they
woull cast their votes lor Bell and
Everett. lie could conooivo no state of
things, within tho range of human
probability, which could loud them to u
different result.
'The honorable spoaker gaVe fho Re
publicans in this State, who because of
the divisions among die Union moil nro
in power, some very severe blows. Ho
said:
In some important respect*, they
have failed to give us a good govern
ment. While public attention 1ms been
directed to remoto objects, and a fic
titious alarm excited lest slavery should
invado latitudes where negroes uro fro
zen in the winter months, our people
have been too neglectful of tho duties
of self-government. A moro dangerous
(because real) slavery ha* appeared in
our very midst. Corruption stalks
abroad, nml invades tlio teinplo of lib
erty and justice. If wo can believo
their own organs, the friends of free
dom have introduced the slave trndo in
the halls of our Capitol. Worst of all,
they have been selling white men, and
the representatives of white men.—
Legislation bought and sold—bills pass
ed or defeated to suit the highest bidder
—bribery tho order of the day—such is
tho hideous picture presented to die
people of our noble State. In the
name of all that is sacred, how long
will they submit to be deluded? The
legislative bodies which do these things
display an ostentatious zeal for free
dom;- They pass wordy resolves about
Ivansas and the mountains of New
Mexico; they introduce and almost
pass “personal liberty bills” to defeat
the return of fugitive slaves according
to the compact of the constitution.
The universal negro is visible on every
sido. At lass it is proposed to form a
“coalition” with him by raising him to
an equality with white men in the right
of suffrage. This proposal has passed
two Legislatures, and will bo presented
that, then wo “double” and almost
icli tlio starting point, and again wo
branch olT, until ut last the shout is
heard, “Thoro lie goes,” ami noon the
wholo “pack” is in “full cry.” Never
mind tho skirts now ! No danger of
being knocked off by the bough* of the
No fear of the horse* falling!—
All is forgotten in the beat of thoclin*o.
Wo finally came up with tho hounds,
and find that Monsieur Reynard has ta
ken rofugn in the branches of a hicko
ry, and with hi* notortoiis cunning,looks
very innocently and most beseechingly
towards the Indie*. Nor. did ha look in
vain. Some began at once to plead
most eloquently the cause of the “poor,
dear thing,” but tho gentlemen
unmoved. Tlio pack was culled off, and
Reynard allowed another chance for
hDlifo, and he took advantage of it,
but without success. Another shor
and exciting race and most of tho party
wero “in at the death.”

A New Mystery.
A Wisconsin paper, tlie Taylor Fall
Reporter, tells the following
vouches for it* aectiruey. Tlio’editor
says, that strange a* the hut* may
appear, lie doe* not doubt their truth
in anv particular, as they uro well
authenticated by many witnesses in
whose veracity lie places Implicit confi
dence :
On Tuesday, while Mr. Corey and his
two sons woie at work in a field near
his house their attention was arrested
by smoke which appeared to riso from
his stable. They hurried to tho Imrn
as quickly ns possible, and discovered a
pile of straw on the. This was immedi
ately extinguished, and as they were re
turning to the field, the stablecnught in
different places, which by considerable
exertion, was put out. Before, howev
er, they had left tho premises, another
tiro was discovered underneath tho gra
nary in a pilo of hoards. Tho bottom
board was burned nearly through, but
the others wero not even scorched.—
After this was put out, Mr. Corey sent
one of tho boy* into the houso to ascer
tain whether all wassnfo there. He im
mediately came out and told his father
that the houso was on fire. Mr. Corey
immediately ran up stairs, wlioro ho
found some clothes that his wifo had
laid away tho day before, burning.—
They wero thrown out tho window nml
front that time until Into at midnight
lire broko out all over tlio house. First
a paper would catch, then a miwjuito
bar, then a straw bed, etc., and it was
only by tho utmost oxertions of Mr. Co
rey, aided by two gentlemen, Messrs.
Hale and Treadwell, tliut the building
was saved. The fire continued at in
tervals until Saturday 1st ult., nml at
tracted many visitors. Wo shall not at
tempt to give any cause for this wonder
ful freak of nature, but will leave the
question to be solved by sonio of our
