didates were run by the Administration wing, the

pov-poning th- election of members of Congress un

bers of Congress shall be elected every two year*,’
and as tbe last Congressional election took place
two yeareago. the Legislature had no power to
postpone tbe elation.

An aiarmiDg and extraordinary state of things ex
iets at San Diego, iu Southern California.. The
Herald of that place, of date 14ih August, remarks;
“ Owing to the unprotected situation ot this fron
tier, much fear ha* been entertained during ihe past
week that the tables are ebout to be turned on uh,
aud that the numerous fugitives from justice now
ou the frontier ot Lower California will m-.ke an
attack u 14011 this place during tbe week of the tea-t
of han Luis Rey. It is a well known lact that a
large number of desperadoes, lugiiives from justice
irorn nearly every county m the State, are now con
gregated within ihe borders of L iwer California,
and that they depend for ail necessaries upon his
place, procuring them through the means ot secret
agents, who are not kaowu to be amenable to our
Uw£ for any crime committed on this side of the
line.”
The same journal of Aug. 21 says :
‘*lu our last isoue we noticed a rumor then cur
rent, that an attack upon this place was threatened
by the desperate gang of outlaws aud Jugttives
irom justice, who iulest the froulierof Lower Cali
fornia. Since that time information has been re
ceived from various sources, rendering it certain
that this rumor was not unfounded, but that actual
preparalians have been made to sack the town,
aud sacrifice the life of every citizen who offered
thp least resistance, or atte i pted to prevent their
nefarious schemes. On Tuesday last, Aug. 17, W'e
received intelligence which removed every doubt
a* to the intentions of these de-peradoes.
Immediately a public meeting was called and our
citizens repaired to the armory of the San Diego
Guards, aim Captain Pendleton was called to the
cuair. Judge I>. li Kur;z, afier stating tbs object
ol the meeting, informed the citizens Lhal during tne
day he hwd received information to tbe iff jet tbit
soma thirty poisons, refugees tioui justice from dif
ferent cou tea of this Sato, were can tied togeilur
iu the mountains immediately south of the hue, for
the avowed object ol sacking this p'ace. The meant
through which this lutonnaiiou was received h s
no doubt of its tiut.h. After several suggestions as
to the best mode ot defence, it was resolved to place
a guard of twelve persons around the town each
night A roll was then opened for volunteers, when
every person present offered his services ns a guard
whenever rtquired. Attar the aCj mrnment of the
meei ing, a guard was immediately placed iu the out
skirts ol the town, and e cti night since have twelve
j of our citizens been detailed tor guard.
| Wnu many the mosi intense excitement exist®,
and some, could they carry tueir etlhcts with them,
would desert :hc town beiore another night. I low
long this stale of things is to continue, God only
knows. The large guard we aie forced to keep up
requires every citizen to be ouduty every third or
fourth night. Had we the force, we would cross
the imaginary line, and forever lr e this and every
other community irom tbe pestiien ial prtsence of
these assa-sms aud cut throats. As it. ie, we are
liuable to do mors than stand ou the defensive. In
our etnerge icy we have been deeply indebted to
Lteut. Charles C. Churchill, A. A M , who not
only sup ‘lied u* with ball cartridges, but also
shouldered hw DMftket and stood guard the first

Ine most abused and leas* understood of the vir
tues is Temperance. It has its life wearied and
worried out of it by its friends or those who believe
themselves so, aud u ha-? the battle of the Ages with
it* toes, end over al; and through all. It remains
j ust what it wa* intended to be—Temperance. The
iauatic on one side, the dissolute on the other can
not pervert the signification. It is Temperance, all
that, OLly that.
The history cf the struggle which has agitated
the world to prove that feinptrance had a meaning
beyond its plain one, is to be written when the
Ri .-ht shall be the Might in the moral world, as it
may one day be in the affa rs of government.

Mr. Builer made the prefatory address. It waa
in good sense. It enunciated the hope of those who
had to-day laid this foundation, and pictured the
blessed result—the bouy re-constructed, the mind
renovated. It was of the good signs of the Age to
witness a gentleman, whose positi nis iu the circie
of statesman, hip and in the arena of the higher
branches of law, identifying himself with the yreat
cause of producing that result in which is found
such aid to the suffering as only those who have
seen the suffering can realise.
Lis name will have its highest record in the his
tory of the cation, or iu the volumes which preserve
the wisdom of the law, but theie comes a time whm
the light in which a name appears, that is identified
with the remembrance of trie wretched, is vivid eo
vivid that no other inscription will And perusal. It
were well if all our statesmen would find their am
bition thus coucei traie at last.
This distinguished lawy- r was an object of in
terest to the crowd, although his exact place in the
past was probably but dimly recollected by the
mass. The father must take the inconvenience of
xi/Ti-sbine. The name of the eminent ex-Attorney-
Geuera!, the poweriui counsellor of him whoso
powerfully counselled (perhaps controlled) the
powerful Jackson is familiar, but there cornea one
at his foot steps whose flow of thought reaches the
pre&ent heart, and it is his name which now reaches
quickest the public ear.
Dr Francis waa next heard, and this fine old
New Yorker, the gentleman of the Past and of the
Present, uttered his views in a form which atti acted
the attention of the reflecting It was J*s9 adapted
to the general audience th n I supposed would have
been t* character. One so happy in h s pleasant
graph c mingling of solid history and interesting
reminiscence .would have immediately in it won tho
crowd's heart. And th s criticism was soon de
monstrated to be true. The multitude that- had
listened but languidly to the philosophy, quickened
ear and eye to the speaker’s story of Dr. Franklin’s
waik on the back.* of the Schuylkill.
Tbe Doctot was very inter* ting in his review of
the causes that make this Nation so liable to the
temptations of excess. A climate rushing into ex
tremes—a people ot a most excitable nervous *
nization, law* laxly adrn uistered parental restraint,
scarcely k’ own —all tln se swerve the grsat current
f the multitude frem the calm and co aer road of
Temperance. Tue work of the . reformer is that of
the Mian’, und to this woik comes this nrw minis
ter in all its majesty and novelty, its own path to
create, itaow.i rules to form, its own science to en
roll among the benefactors of man. Tae parallel
which he drew of the progress of medical knowl
edge ou this subject and that of insauity, was curi
ous. end the crowd appreciated it. Fifty years
ago, the straight jacket was the pharmacop as. and
t e treatment was as mad as the patient. The pro
fession opened the gate of hope where knowledge
pointed to kindness as the light by which to thread
ihe labyrinth of tho daikened i uroan mind. No
longer, said the Doctor, u there a separate time for
each medicine—Tuesday for oathartios and Friday
for emetics. The old system of practical torture is
overt brown. What has been done for the insane
will have to be done for tbe inebriate
Dr. Bellows made a good address. It would
have.been much better had it been spoken. The
eye that leaves its keen look at an audience to
give a deciphering scrutiny at a manuscript, never
ho sees ido tho very heart, as does that which
with its gaze never leaves the work. If he lusti
tutiou has triend.-* everywhere as strong in hope as
was this geutieuian, it has a very certain iuture —‘
Nut quite so boon as he imagines, will the State
awaken to its du'y The ear t f the public body is
dull beyond that of tho adder.
The ot j sots of the Society, its concentration upon
the one disease cr buffering 6f inebriety, were very
clearly staled hy Dr Bellows, indeed this was the
remarkable feature ot this address. There is a terse
ness about Dr B’s style that is dry for a crowd.
Ji is precise, the every syllable in h word is well ut
tered. It is a style tor a college. It is a wax-light,
not eaady borne through tne street. It is not the
torcti with which Dr. Beihune can, whenever he
wilts it to, illuminate the hall, the tout, the great
multitude I wish that gentleman (expected by J
everybody) had been here to have illustrated the j
verity of my allusion.
To the doctrine of Dr. B liows in respect to the j
treatment ot crime ana the criminal, there will be a \
wide exception. It pleased me very much iu its !
cress and enunciation; and yet iu that pleasure !
there came not quite conviction. The doctrine gsz- !
zlee —may delude.
Mr. But tar made a very eulogistic introduction j
tor Mr. Dickinson. It was entirely pro; er that thi *
distinguished citizen of Binghamton should present
himself to welcome the crowd that had gathered
within sight of hi* own dwelling to give their pl&u
di’ to the generosity of his felow-citigeps.
Edward Everett responded to the call an cn
thwiiae ic audience made ou him. How admirably
he talked —r.u studied preparation—no labored sen
tences It was the pleasant, witty, graceful lan
guage of a fountain of thought, which gushes and
sparkles by the very touch of will. Nor w s this
brief speech from the ‘’Binghamton Ta tform,” as
he wittily termed the staging, one thai could bo for
gotten. It is this coinage at will that indicates the
true orator.
The voice that can speak thus, the mind that can
frame ihese words, these are given to tew of our

whose beauty, as he delineated it, we forgo* our wet
coat and muddy walk, was of each a* Tnorneon

bavo uttered. Hearing this dtaiioguishtd man, of
ten as it has btoc my good for une to do, 1 con
gratulate myself, that I heard this response as it
was to the call of the moment. That great crowd
may forget other incidents of the day, but these

therefore, excusable iu venting hi* ill humor upon
the Americans.) twits them with having at first ap
proved the repeal of the Missouri Compromise, but
with subsequently supoortirg Mr. Fillmore, who
declared that it was Pandora’s box, from which
tasued the evils that efiiict the country.”
Tbe repeal of the Missouri Compromise line in the
instance alluded to was effected by the Kansas Ne
braska act, the details of whic& never were ap
proved by the American Darty of the South. They
were m favor of repealing the Missouri Compromise j
line as to Kansas, and leaving the American peo I
pta of that Territory, v*ken *key came lo form a
State constitution, perfectly free to protect or pro
hibit savery as they m ght aee proper. They had
previously manifested their adherence to this prin
ciple by refuring to extend the Missouri Compro
mise line to Utah and New Mexico, by leaving their
people free t. settle the qne*tion of slavery for
themselves when they formed Stale constitutions ,
and by removi g the operati nos tne jiue from
Northern Texas ;o wblc h the Democracy bad ex
tended ii In these act3 President Fillmore hearti
ly cooperated with then. But the repeal of the
act was a very and ff -rent thing io its practical opera
tivn. To lwo of its features tue American party
Were always decidedly opposed, though they ac
cep eu the act cum onere We a lude 10 its squat
ter sovereignty amb _u.ty and its li ease of alien
suffrage. Ab Mr. Fillmore truly said, these cn*ti
j tuted tbe “ P.icdora’s t*ox, from which issued the
cwls that affl ctfcd ihe country ” All the evil* of
■he Kausae uue?.ion originated f om the attempt of
tae Fraeaoiiei/. to get of ti e first Territo
rial Legit a ure, aud £y its act to exclude slavery
from trie Territory ; and the license of alien sut
iroge afforded them lacilities fur sending forwaid
huLdieds of str* limg foreigners by their “ Emigrant
Asa JSocietie9, ,: woo would te allowed to vote on the
verv day of tneir arrival. Had not these peculiar
ly Democratic piovisious been engrafied upon the
bill for party purpose-, no Kansas trif * could have
c uvulae ; the uaiio l ! at thetim.- Mr. F.llmurespoke
of • Pandora s box.” And that he ailuded to the
practical op i at ion ot the bill was proved by the
wool - tenor of his remark*, by the ex stiug circum
sta ces of tbe case, and by the fact that he had pre
viously signed acts repudiating the Missouri C m
pi >mi*e nut at th* same time avoiding the difficul
tiJb aneing from squatter sovereignty and alien suf
frage
W did suppose that after the recent confesaione
of Judge Douglas (the author of the Kansas Ne
braska bill) in hi- biili o s canvas*, no Southern
Democrat would again have the temerity to juatily
tae cletal* of that act. lie confesses that it was
worded, designed, and understood to favor squatter
sovereignty; that under its operations the people
of Kansas were to be allowed to exclude slavery
by act of tbe Territorial Legislature, prior to the
formation of a State Constitution ! This the South-
ern Democracy have always denied, and have
sworn to the denial. We now have the confession
of the authur of the bi 1 himself, that the chief ob
jection urged against the bill by the ‘southern
Americans waa wed-grounded ; and we know that
the attempt to carry out squatter sovereignty, in
parauat.ee of its now admitted license, was the
cause of a’l tbe “evils that afflicted the country”
growing ou* of the Kansas question What South
ern man would have sustained the bi 1 at the time of
is passage, hid D mgias and other Northern Dem
ocrats then admit ted its squatter sovereignty fea
tures, and avowed their determination to vote
against admitting Kansas with a pro-slavery con
stitution adopted even in the teeth of their squatter
fcovereignty lioenne ?
“Paudoia a box” was finally exhausted of its evi s,
and Hope remained to the world; but so loug as
the “iMational Democratic ‘ party retain power in
this republic and continue to shape all their mea
surea with an eye single to party advantage, and to
pa 8 law’s intentionally so worded aa to admit of in
terpretation one way at the North and another at
the South, even the Hope of domestic peace will
never smile again on our distracted country. — Co

Rail Rond Meeting iu Hart.
The citizens o* Hart and tbe adjoining counties
with those from South Carolina, wh; were preseut
at the September Term of the Superior Court, met
at the new Court house on the 22ud inst., at 10
o'clock, A M. On motion, Mioajah Carter,
was called to the chair, and Thomas J. Cason,
was requested to act as Secretary. Col. Rob’t
Hester then addressed the meetiug in behalf of a
line ol Rail Road connecting with the Branch Kail
Road at Washington, Ga., aud running to Eibertou,
and irom thence to connect with the Georgia Air-
Line Railßpadat Hartwell Ga , aud crossing its
line, to tap the Blue Kidege Rail Road at some
available point in Georgia. Col. Hester spoke for a
short time in his usually happy style, and w’as suc
ceeded by Col. Warren D. Wilks of South Carolina.
He spoke ot the advantages of the Air-Line route,
not only of its local advai tagea in raising the value
oi land and the increase of knowledge and refine
ment, consequent upon travel and intercourse with
the world, nut also of the fact, that the value of
agricultural investments had decreased from 35 to
It ss than 7 per cent in consequent of the roads North
aud South that confine our home predu ts to home
consumption. He pointed out the fact that the
route wa* much shorier than any that couid com
pere with it. That the great mail of the Union
might be got for the Air Line li. R. which alone
would oe worth $600,000 per annum—that it
w ss the natural route for the mail and travel, be
tween the North and South—that it would be a link
in the Iron chain that would girdle the world—that
the electric wire would follow its line, aud that the
pulses ot Europe and the British letas might be felt
to throb in the quiet town of Hartwell, as the light
mng intelligence passes on to the cities of the South
or the Pac tic shore.
He spoke | the Blue Ridge li li. of South Ca
rolina, and orthe unanimity of Georgia iu aliowiug
to a Mister State the right ci way tlnough her Te -
ritory by which South Carolina can reach the com
mei oe of ihe “Father of Waters,” and to bring to
Southern ports the rich and varied products of the
West, in this connect! *n, lie cordially endorsed
the plan of Col. Hester, aud argued that the only
way for Georgia to reap ihe benefits of her liberali
ty ro South Carolina, was to tap the Blue Ridge
Road at some point in G orgia, that its freight and
passengers might go to Charleston‘or Savannah as
they chose. He then resumed his seat., alter which,
Col. Wiii li Pool, one ol tho D.rectors of the G A.
L. R K. read io Ihe meeting the resolutions passed
at t'to last final and fixed iocatiou of ihe G. A. L. R.
R. from Atlanta by tiorl well to the Savannah r ver,
and in his usual emerge ic maimer urged the Stock
holders to prompt action for the speedy completion
of the Road.
li following resolutions by Col. Hester as
amended by the Hon. Thomas W. Thomas were
r-a-i ;ru... t’hair :
Resolved . That we consider it of the highest im
portance to the interest of citizens of Hart and aa
joining counties t hat they unite themse.ves by Rad
ioed with the principal markets of cur State.
Rcsoived , That in order to ass -ct that object, wo
deem it the most practicable plan to encourage
ih* Railroad from Washington, Georgia, to this
Resolved, That the Chairman appoint a commit
tee ot five, wbote duty it shall be to confer with
commi tees from Elbert and Wilkes Counties to
carry out the above proposition.
Resolved, That m making an effort to unite our
seive* by Railroad with tbe city of Augusta, we do
not in the taaot abate our Zeal or means in carrying
out the project of the A. L. li. R. from Anderson,
S. C , by way of Hart well to Atlanta, Ga , but be
iieve the building of both will bo mutually benefi
cial to each other.
Resolved , That as the friends of internal improve
ment and progress, we heartily tender our ti.auks
to Col. Warren D. Wilks, of South Carolina, for bin
able address in advocating th so measures and
for hi* lriendly sentiments fur our State.
Resolved, That the papers of Anderson and Ath
ens. and ail other paper* friendly to the intere&t of
Georgia and Soulh Caioliua be requested to pub
lish these Resoluliona.
On motion of Thomas W. Thomas, the meeting
then adjourned.

> A large number f the citizens of Wilkes county
I convened in the Court House at Washington on
| Tuesday 28th, and were organised by calling M G.
; Robert, Esq ,to the chair and appointing Robert
| Hester, Esq , of Elbert county, Secretary.
| At the r quest of the Chairman, the Hon. Robert
; Toomtß addressed the meetiug; explained its ob
! j-ct to be to effect an extension ot the Railroad
• rum Washington, through Elbert County lo Hart
j well, in Hal t County. He proceeded to show that
not only would those particular se tious be fctanetit
ted by development aud connection with the Rai
roada of our State, but that the proposed route
would connect the Georgia Railroad with the Ra
bun Gap Road, and thereby open a communication
from Augusta to Ea-st Tennesee , by a route one
hundred miles shorter than any other, and place her
in successful competition with Charleston for the
trade of that fertile country.
He earnestly recommended the adoption of such
measures as would at once proceed to the investi
gation of the proposed measure, and demonstrate
03 utility to the country at large—and concluded
by moving the appoint meat of a Committee to con
ier with Committees troin the counties of Elbert
and Hart, who bad been appointed at previous
meetings iu those Counties, and were present, and
called upon iliern for reports from their respective
Counties.
Ayhen Robert Hester, delegate from Elbert, re
: ponded in a short address—slating that meetings
ha i been held in Elbert Qud Hart Counties, at both
of which resolutions bad been passed, earnestly de
siring a connection wi h the Railroads of the State,
and expressing a belief that the true policy waa to
seen a market for our produce in the cities of our
own S at*.
He iurther showed that a very considerable trade
was being drawn off irom the countio* of Elbert,
Hart, Franklin and liabeisharn, by way of Ander
son to Charleston; and that unless something waa
done to prevent it, before long a great drain through
; .so ‘ir,; channel would be effected, and much
of our legii iSkie piriih; wuffid be lost to the people
of Georgia
Auer iurther remarks in support of the measures,
he moved the following resolutions, which were
unanimourly adopted:
Resolved. That we regard the movement of the
eituena ot Libert and Hart counties, in endeavoring
to extend the Railroad irom Washington to Elber

irom Eloert and Hart counties, as to tbe practica
bility oi extending the Railroad, as contamplated in
the loregoing resolution—when Col. I. T. Irvin,

The Koine Courier —The Yellow Fever Story*
Tbe Rome Courier in justification of its “ Yellow

note from VV. B. Terhune Esq., of Rome, which
wo repubiish for the benefit of our city readers. —
We regret very much that Mr. Tkrhune did not
reoolltct ana give the name of tbs party who wrrte
the letter from this city. We shou and Lave been
pleased to have given it publicity, that our citizens
might know the man. It is not surprising that a
man who couid perpetrate such a falsehood, should
Huspeot that the press would deny its truth. Who
is the man, can any body tell ?
Rome, Sept. 5, 1858.
Mr. M.Dwinell: Dear Sit ;—l see the Chro
nicle & Sentinel wishes your author ior the state
ment that yellow fever is iu Augusta. I presume I
am the man. Down at S one Mountain on Satur
day evening and Sunday morning last I heard it
from Mr. Alexander, and tke news came in a letter
trom a resident in Augusta to a partner wi o was
staying at the Mountain, advising aim oi tbe fact,
as well as to remain where he was, as he (the wri
ter,) did not know at what moment they would all
be up. (The name* to this ietler Ido not recoiled.)
The wruer stated further lhat the papers wouiu
deny that the fever was in Augusta. As I came up
on the train, I was told that the preceding train and
the one I was on had a great number of citizens of
Augusta aud their famalies leaving Here, tearing
that it would come up from Charleston to Augusta,
but who denied the tact of the fever being then in
Augusta. They admitted someone had come up
from Charleston to August >, who was very ill with,
a fever. You doubtless, since your publication have
heard a young gentleman formerly of our place, but
recently from Augusta say that there was a case
ot yellow lever at the Planter’s Hotel in Augusta
but that it was contracted in Charleston.
As to the charge of an intent to injure Augusta it
is simply false, so far as I am concerned, not being
iu the hot.l or mercantile business, nor haying con
nected interests in any rival town. 11 Id it to you
as it was giveu me, assuring you that I had confi
dence in my informants.

The Comet.— Official. —Mr. Bond, Director of

ance is so splendid a feature in the nocturnal heav

To the Editors of the Daily Advertiser;
Donati’s Cqmet will, in a few days, appear to in
crea*e rapidly in size and brilliancy. Il will be
nearest to the earth on the 9tb of October, at which
time it* bril laucy will be nearly three times as
great as ou the 23d of September, and its distance
from us about fifty-two million of miles.
According to Mr. Hall’s computation, the tail of
the Comet,on the 23d instant, extended to the length
of fiiteen millions of miles. The necleus will be
near the bright star Aveteus, October sth, and near
est tho earth's orbit, on the 2Utb.
Some co fusion seems to prevail in regard to
there beiug two comets, similar in appearance, now
visible to the naked eye, but euch is not the case
Donati s, which is seen in the northwest after sun
set, \s the same which has be n seen in the northeast
before sunrise in the morning. 1 his ia owing to
the considerable northern declination of the Comet,
with a right ascension differing but little irom that
of the sun. I mention this because I have had
seveial letters from different parts of the country,
making the inquiry whether there are two comets
to be seen by the naked eye.
Es ke’s Comet is barely visible to the naked eye.
Turtle’* Third Comet of 1858, can now be seen
only with the assistance ot a telescope.

“ Is the Compromise Act to be Respected
Some of the Democratic journals at the South,
who have contributes their icfluence to reconcile
the betrayed people to acquiesce in the Kansas
swindle, affect to be much concerned at the now
i certain prospect, that the Democracy of the North,
j will certainly vote to admit Kansas with or without
the number of inhabitants required by the English
bill. as though any man, who had sense enough to
keep out of the ram, ever supposed that they would
pay the slightest respect to that provision of the
Euglish bill. This trick of the Democratic organs
cannot deceive any intelligent man at the South,
who has the independence to tciak for himself. For
none such believed that that feature of the English
bill would be respected even by the Congress that
passed it; and if Kansas can get up a constitution,
in time to present it to the present Congress, that
body wili pass the bill, if it be a tree State, of which
there is now no doubt! The members of Congrees
from the S uth, the Democratic members , did not
believe that any regard would be paid to that pro
vision, but they had parti ipated in the Kansas
swindle in its incipiency, and they could not do less
than play the game out. They had betrayed their
constituency into the support of Squatter Sovereign
ly, aud this was the last act of the drama or rather
“ bald farce ”
These remarks have been suggested by the fol
jowing article from the Mobile “ Register, a jour
nal that talks very grandiloquently about Southern
j rights, but never fails to iminol ite them for the eup-
I port of National Democracy:
Is the Conference Act to bf. Respected ?
Tins i* a question which it gravely concerns the
people of the South to consider, and which is grave
iy suggested to their consideration by the aspect of
political affairs and the developments of political
sentiment at the North. Is the b >uth to be betray
ed, wronged and outraged by the violation of the
compromise to which she was induced, at a serious
sacrifice of her just demands for the sake of peace,
to yield, in settling the cri ical controversy upon the
Kansas question ? The indications are ominous
aud alarming of a disposition aud design, upon the
part of the Northern Democrats who were parties
to this eolemd covenant, to disregard it, and to
vote lor the admission o! KiUsas, should she appiy
before she has attained the representative ratio ot
population. We are told that many of those North
ern Democratic representatives who supported the
Conference Act have publicly avowed this purpose,
and it is reported that even the parent of the mea
sure in question, aud the chairman of the Confer
ence Committee of the House, Mr. English, of In
dicna, has declared himself in favor of the admh
su nos Kan as, irrespective of the act to which lie
stands solemnly and conspicuously pledged These
s artling facts warrant the serious apprehension
that, iu the event that Kansas shall apply at the
coming session, or to the succeeding Congress, for
admission into the Union, while she may still not
have a population ot 93 000, the Northern Demo
iratio representatives will abandon the Conference
Act, and vote for the admission in spite of its stipu
latioue. However loth we may be to believe that
the Nortoern Democratic members of Congress
who became parties to this covenant could be ca
pable of the enormous perfidy apprehended, the in
dications force us to the conviction that it *iU be
perpetrated if the occasion arises.
In view of this probable act of bad faith, treach
ery and outrage, it becomes a question of grave and
absorbing import to the South, what course she will
feel herselt called upon to adopt, should her rights
and her honor be thus violated and insulted. Will
she submit to this gigantic wrong ? Will her repre
sentatives, wiih whom th 9 northern Democrats iu
Congress solemnly plighted their troth and support
to the compromise agreed to between them, tolerate
it3 violation by the party with whom they cove
nanted at so great a sacrifice on their part ? For
our part, we have no hesitation in saying that if the
South submits to the admission of Kansas regard
less and m violation of the provisions of the Con
ference act of last session, she will staud irrepara
bly degraded below the level of her constitutional
aud honorable equality with the North in the Union,
and will have been effectually reduced to the con
dition of a subordinate and submissive dependence
upon the mastery aud sufferance of the North.—
She will have kissed the rod and passed under the
yoke, aud can never after staud up within the IJn
ion and assert and feel that she is the equal of the
Nor 1 h.
We assert and maintain the proposition that the
admission of Kansas, iu disregard of the Confer
ence act of compromise with a free State govern
ment, will in effect amount to the same thing as if
she had been tiatly relumed admission upon with
her slave State constitution last winter. The same
end will have been accomplished by an indirec
tion, and the outrage upon the South will be none
the less than if it had beeu done directly. The South
demanded that Kansas should not be refused ad
mission into the Union because of her presenting
herself with a pro slavery constitution; and when
that Territory appplied last session with such a form
of government legally and regularly adopted, she
insisted that it should be received into the confede
racy. When, however, her representatives, actu
ated by an overweening desire for peace and har
mony, and willing to sacrifice liberally the jusT claims
of theii section to that objeot, took upou themselves
to modify her demand and commit her to a compro
mise, whereby iu effect the admission of Kansas
as a slave State was yielded, eke acquiesced in this
arrargement, notwithstanding she felt that it was a
heavy sacrifice on her part of her just rights under
the constitution.
There was but one feature of this arrangement
which could possibly have commended it to her ac
quiescence, aud which redeemed it Irom absolutely
presenting the alternative upon which she was
pledged to withdraw from the Union. Kansas as a
slave State was virtually excluded from the Urnon
in the remanding the Lecompton constitution j but
as a compensation for this essential concession on
the part of the Si-uth, in esse of the non-ratification
of the constitution, it was stipulated that the Terri
tory should not be ad itted till it had a population
of 93,000. Tue South’s part ot the agreement is
fulfilled by the effectual exclusion of Kansas as a
clave State ; and unless the conditions on the other
side are complied with, the arrangement on that
side will have been a fraud, and the result will be
in effect the same as if. no compromise or agree
ment having taken place, Kansas had been simply
and directly refused admission as a slave State.
Thus then in this issue of the affair, we will be
thrown back to precisely that emergency on the
happening of which several ot tho Southern States
stand positively pledged tosepirate from the Union.
However much we should deplore the desperate
necessity of this step, we are convinced that it will
be demanded by the honor and interest and liberties
of the South, it the provisions of the Confe;encfj
act, which aloue enter pose between her and a vital
surrender ot her constitutional equality in the
Union, shall be trampled uuder foot.
’ But if the people of the South who reluncfantly
acquiesced in the Conference act, have reason to
be indignantly apprehensive of its violation, their
representatives who entered into tlmt compromise
for them have greater reason to resist aud resent
such an outrage They will be false both to their
constituency and to themselves, it they do not re
sist it to the last extremity. They will sink them
selves irretrievably to the lowest abyss of disgrace
and public odium, if they permit the covenant they
impo.sed upon a reluctant constituency to be disre
garded by the party with whom they contracted,
without resenting it unto the most desperate resort
of freemen. If Kansas is admitted into the Union
at ihe next session of Congress, or at any time be
fore she is admissible under the stipulations of the
Conference act, let the representatives ot the South
never come home, unlees it be with the ton parch
ment of a cancelled Union in one hand aud in the
other the standard of a Southern confederacy.
Will a Free People hinml Thin ?
The Washington Union Newspaper has sent
printed circulars to the office-holders under tbe
Federal Administration, from which the following is
an extract:
“You are requested aLd expected to exert vour
aelf to give increased circulation to the Union ,
whose position and relations to the Administration
enable it to know and express the wishes and senti
ments of ihe Executive.”
This extract is made public, says tbe Columbus
Enquirer , by Mr. llovey, an anti Lecorapton De
mocrat, running for Congress in Indiana ; and he
produces it to correct the assertion of his Lecomp
ton Democratic opponent who denies that the Union
ia authorized to express the sentiments of the Ad
ministration. Os the particular point in dispute
between these two Indiana worthies, we have noth
ing to say, nor do we think it of much consequence
whether the Union represents the Administration
in ita warfare on Douglas or not, for the present
Executive can as readily back down and leave it
uußUß‘ained as he did in respect to Kansas Walker.
But we wish the freemen of the South to note the
base uses to which it is proposed to proßtitute the
offices of the General Government by the President
and his newspaper organ. Besides attending to the
proper duties of their stations, the office-holders ere
“expected” to procure subscribers to the Union!
That word “expected,” when connected with the
intimation that such is the wish of the Executive,
means that there is to be a penalty for non-com
pliance. It means that no office-holder is safe in
his position who neglected the duty of “increasing
the circulation of the Union.” It wields the official
patronage and influence of the Government direct
ly to the support of partisan newspapers. Instead
of the old Jeffersonian standard, “la he honest? is
he capable ? is he faithful to the constitution ?” the
inquiry from headquarters now is, Will he exert
himself for the party in elections ? will he appro
priate a part of his salary as an electioneering fund ?
will he use every effort to sustain the Union and
other Administration papers ?

Gov. Jones has returned to Memphis, having been
prevented, by illness, from canvassing further in
Illinois.— Nashville Pat.
Isn't it rather extraordinary, asks the Columbus
Enquirer, how soon Southern orators who go to
Illinois to stump for Douglas become a little indis
posed and return home to repair damages ? Do they
find themselves in a pestilential atmosphere while
canvassing side by side with a politician who an
noucces his readiness to disregard the English bill
upholds the doctrine of squatter sovereignty in all
its deformity, and bids strongly for the Freesoil
vote ?
Loss of Ocean Steamers.—The regular line of
European steamships was started oy Mr. Cunard in

few questions to ask J. A. N. of die Telegraph. Did
Judge Douglas deteud the South when he moved
ana voted to fix tee VVilmot Proviso to the Texae
bill? Did he defend the South when he eaid Con
gress had the same right to exclude slavery that it
had to exclude whiskey from the Territories ? Did
he defend the South wiien he voted against the reso
lution that forbade the migration and settlement of
tree negroes in the District oi Columbia; or did he
Gelena the South when he voted against the resolu
tion ot Jefferson Davis imprisoning aud fining
heavily those wuo might be detected luuuiug off
the negroes of the members ot Congress and the
citizens ot Wa Liugton to tree States / Did he de
fend t:.e South when he told Hale in the Senate ot
the Understates that ii he had not voted with Mr.
Calm uu ail the territory would ha*e beeu dedica
ted to freedom? 1 wonder it the rehearsal oi these
sins wiil even stir the olood of J. A. N.
Judge Douglas sa)s the Territorial Legislature
can establish, abolish or exclude slavery iu the
Territory ot the United States. Toe Suprein.
Court ot the United States (iu tue Died Scot, case)
uistmclly mys Gowu the principle that lA.agrees can
neither esuiohsh, abolish or exclude slavery, trout
the Territories ; and Congress, not having tor i gin,
caunot delegate the ex rcise of the power t > the
Terr toriai Lugieluluie ; neiiinrcan t*e people oi
the Territory inherently or otherwise exclude,
abolish or establish slavtry. If a dried opposi.i .n
to the principles as laid down by the Supreme Court
of the United States, cau be construed a* a deduce
of the Dred Scott uecimon, then Stephen A Doug
las is a deteuder ,of that decision. It ought to be
kuown! Let ii be understood that the Suprem -
Court of the Uuiied Sta es decided that no powei
couid deprive the Southern man ot hL right to carry
his negroes into the Territory aud there hold them
as long as it remained a Territory. No Congress,
no Territorial Legislature nor people ot the Territo
ry, could prevent aud deprive the Southern man of
ms light to carry his negroes into the Common terri
tory of the United Sla t s aud there hold them as his
property. To this great principle of equall yas laid
down by the Supreme Court ol the United S ales in
the Died Scott Decision, Judge Douglas stands op
posed. Tue core of the Died Scott decision was
that the people of the South could carry their pro
party in negioes as well as the people of the North
cuuiu carry their property in horses, into the territo
ry, and no power couid deprive either of their perso
nal rghl until the people met man authorised Con
vention to frame a Constitution preparatory to be
coming a State.
The tights of a people of a Territory are only so
cial ; the lights of ihe people oi a State are political,
the tiist is a minor; the second is a man of age
aud fully grown. Socrates drank the hemlock Lha'.
his own native Athens might be incorrupied and
saved, but it seems J. A. Nos the Telegraph would
withhold the hemiock only that Judge Douglas might
be saved The gentleman of the Telegraph insist
that Douglas is the regular nominee ot the Dcino
cratio convention. You, Mr. Editor, and all the
press and people of Georgia aud the Sou h will re
member how strongly anu pointedly tho Democrat
ic Convention of Illinois denounced Stephen A.
Douglas last spring* or summer, aud nominated
Breese as the Democratic candidate lor Untied
Slates Senate r. Breese, the Democratic candidate
tor United States Senator of Illinois, is opposed to
Douglas’ re election. Show me—produce the reao
‘.utions of the Democratic State Convention of llli
nois tuat nominated Stephen A. Douglas for the Sen
ate of the United States. It can’t be done. Is J.
A. N. for or against Mr. Buchanan and the Cabinet
at Washington ? Mr. Breese is the administration
candidate. Does Mr. Buchanan and his Cabinet
represent the Democratic party or is Judge Doug
las the Democratic party ot the United States? But
J. A. N. says Kansas is the ‘‘baldest farce’’ that ev
er appeared ou the political theatre. For shame,
for shame ! Is it a farce to say and incorporate as a
principle of the Democratic party “a State shall bo
admit ted with or without slavery ? Is it a farce to
say aud incorporate as a principle of the Democrat
ic party “non-intervention by Congress on the sub
ject of slavery in the Territories?” If Kansas is a
••bald larce,” who played the promiuent character
of the farce ? Stephen A. Douglas. You really
think, Mr. J A. N., that the people are buffoons for
Douglas to amuse himself with. 1 would rather be
a toad and feed upon the vapour of a dungeon than
play the comic character ot that “bald farce.”
But to recur to Mr. Douglas’ defence of the rights
of the South. Did Judge Douglas defend the South
and her rights when he voted against the Lecomp
ton Constitution—when he insisted the Consu Lution
of Kansas should be submitted back to the people
for a direct vote ! Did he staud up to the measure
of his promise when he spoke aud acted against an
almost united South in Congress ? Is he defending
the South and her rights when he opeuly says he
will vote lor Kansas to be admitted without ad in
spite of the terms of the English biil ? Ingratitude
did banish Aristades of Athena. I fear neither duty,
nor love, nor gratitude wiil save the bouth from tue
ingratitude ot her pliant and recreant sous. Never
can 1 get my consent to defend a traitor for the sal
vation of a party. You and I, Mr. Editor, and all
true men will be engulpktd iu ruin first.
This moment is the crisis iu the history of the
South. L ck at her. Tue icy hand ot political
death is teeliug about her heart strings. There she
stands sweating great drops of gnel. In the deep
and hopeless agony of hei spirit she appeals to her
sons for help—emaciated, lorlorn and shivering
..midst the desertion ot her own sons, she stands :t
wrec kof former power—a poiitical corpse. Re
move t'ie snroud , look at this and that wound.—
There is the wound of 1787, there is the wounds of
181)8 and again the wound ol 1820, and of 1850 and
1851, and 1850, and 1857. Look; the lips ol her
wound are pale with bleeding. Her Rons arc ail
honorable men, yet they stood by and saw these
things done. Forgive them; for it was not because
they loved the South less, out because ihey loved
the office more. Quu man.
We place these thing? on record, as a part of the
political history of the rimes, aud to afford the read
er an opportunity to compare what these men say
of Douglas now, with what they said a few years
ago, when he entertained and promulgated the same
principles as now, (Squatter Sovereignty aud all,)
and what they will say of him two years hence, win n
they will all cordially unite. Either in his support,
or with him, in support < f the “ Narional Democ
racy.” Such is Democracy.
John W. Forney.— Since the unprincipled knave
Whose dishonored name heads this article, o n
spired with a drunken play actor to extort false
teotim >ny against a deteusele:s woman’s all—her
character—he has been regarded ae beneath the con
tempt of honorable men. But he has recently added
another daik crime to his already debased charac
ter.—Memphis Avalanche.
This, says the Nashville Patriot, Is very severe
upon Col. Forney, hut not less severe upon Presi
dent Buchanan. Since Col. Forney conspired
against the character of Mrs. Forest, he has been
the bosom friend and counsellor of the President.
Not two years ago, the President, in view of the
“high confidential relations which a Pennsylvania
President ought to sustain towards a Pennsylvania
Senator,” declared he preferred the eleci iou of Col
Forney as Senator from Pennsylvania, and added
that he would regard such an election “as a friend
ly act towards myself,” (James Buchanan.) This
he did in a letter to Henry S. Mott, Eiq , under date
of “Wheatland, January 7th, 1857.” If, as the
Avalanche asserts, Col. Forney since the M*s.
Forest conspiracy has been “beneath the contempt
ot honorable men,” how can President Buclmn.ai
escape the odium of being a dishonorable man ?
Mr. Buchanan knew all about the Forest letter,
and surely, no one, not utterly lost to all sense of
honor, wouid seek to make a confidential friend of
“an unprincipled knave” “beneath the contempt of
honorable men !” How can any sham democrat,
complain hereafter, when any opponent of Mr.
Buchanan shall denounce him as a corrupt politician,
and as wholly unworthy the confidence of any
party ? That this is the true character of the
President we have never doubted, and we are satis
fied, from the “side wipe” which the Avalanche ad
ministers to him above, that such is the judgment
of some of those who, for party purposes, talk most
vehemently in hia praise.
A Good Hit.—A contemporary sayß : ‘‘lt being
rather pompously announced in a Democratic jour
nal, that one of the cardinal principles of the Demo
cratic party is hostility to !> k notes and psper mo
ney as a circulating medium, the National Intelli
gencer asks, ‘why it is, if the Democracy during
the last twenty years and longer, have proved Ih ir
unqualified hostility to bank notes aud paper money
as a circulating medium, that the country is still
plagued with these abominations, notwithstanding
the omnipotence of the Democratic party V If ‘gold
and silver is the only sale, constitutional currency,
why have not the Democracy given this boon to the
nation ?” _
What they Bplit on.— -The following is the reso
lution which prevented the fusion of the Americans
and Republicans of New York :
Resolved , That the dicta propounded by the Su
preme Court of the Republic in the Dred Scotr de
cision, making every square mile of the Federal
Territory prima facie. Slave Territory, by increas
ing the facility with which slave extension may be
effected, deepens the obligation resting upon us to
resist the extension of Slavery, and despite such
dicta ot the Supreme C mrt, we affirm the power
and duty of C jngress to exclude Slavery from tbe
Territories ot the United States.
The American Convention, very properly, re
fused to adopt this resolution. The Republican
Convent on pursued the opposite course, thu3 de
feating all attempts to fuse.
Toe American Convention adopted the following
resolution :
Resolved , That we are opposed to the existence
and extension of slavery inio the Territory of be
United States, nevertheless that we recognize the
righ of the native born and naturalized citizens of
the United States, permanently residing ia any
Territory thereof, to frame their constitution and
laws, and to regulate their domestic and social
affairs in their own mode, iulject only to the pro
visions ot the Federal Constitution.

Instinct.— The Alexandria (Va.) Gazette says.
Flocks of hawks have recently been seen winging
their way to the South. It is thought they are
moving off in consequence of the scarcity of their
accustomed food in this section of country.”
Slave Forcibly Freed.—At Chatham, Cana
da, a few days Since, a mulatto slave boy, only ten
yet rs old, was forcibly taken from hia master, a
Southerner, who had stopped there on a railway
tra a. The Bheriff and a party of negroes oid it.
Th boy cried and clung to hia master, but tbe
crc wd carried him away and the train went off
wi* a his master.
Considerable anxiety is felt in England respect
ing the solvency of several large firms in the lum
be. tjade and it was feared that the •oases of the
Cfc ladian banks were not over. The depression of
th* lumber trade has long been remarked.

Health of Savannah. •
The Republican of Monday saysln publishing
the week y report of interments in our issue of
Thursday last, we expressed the belief that, we
should be aoie to lay before onr leaders, at the
close of soother week, a more favorable exhibit of j
the health of the city. The reporte of the last few
days indicate that w.e shall be disappointed. The
return ot tho warm weather and the arrival of un
acclimated persous from abroad {perhaps, for we
kuow nothing certain of the cause) have give i a
new impulse to disease, aud numbers have been
carried away to “the house appointed fi r all the ‘
living.” Tho iutermonta for iivo days ending yep.
terday sum up 34, of which 13 were caused by yel
low fever. True, there is nothing startling in the
exhibit, but it shows that up t , th s limo there it no
real übaiemeutof the diseases from which our city
has been suffering for some weeks, anil, perhaps,
will not be until there is some radical i Lange in the
weather. At this time the serious cases are confin
ed almost entirely to the out-djor laboring popula
tion, residing in the neighborhood of the Charleston
wharf, iu Yainacraw, Curry Town and R ibertville.
There has been a very nftuiiti st in prove'cent in
the health of other classes, and many who were
down are now our-attending to their bueine s.—
What is somewhat unusual, the eastern portio of
the city is almost entirely free from disease.

Paul Morphy in Paris Private letters to the i
editor of the Chess Monthly, in New York, bring
later intelligence from Mr. Morphy than is to b. j
found in our foreign filer. His match (for 251) francs
a side) with Mr. Ha, witz, stands : Morphy 3 liar- j
witz 2. The Case de la KtgeDca, the traditional ‘
locate of Parisian chees, and tlie scene of Philidor’g, j
Deeobapelle’a and Labourdotmais’ triumphs, is j
crowded with spectators whenever our countryman ‘■
plays. A gentleman now in Paris, writes as fol- j
lows :
“The greatest of living Fronoa eculptois, Le- !
quesne, the pupd and sue.-, or of Pradt-r, has a t. >
ed Morphy to sit tn him for his bust in mat lie- ;
Morphy gave bun the first silting >e-terd ,y The i
bust will he exhibited atlhe Exposition d-s beam i
Arts. This is, I think, tbe lughes 1 li -f r Mo.pby i
lias yet received. Hut 1 cau a sure you ti.ey trea l !
him here like a god lie dines with Ins Hoye.l
Highness the Duke o! JSnuu-wu-k on Sunday. The
oiher night, at the Ttiea're Francais, halt the au i
dience stood up and looked at him—he perfectly
unconscious until it was pointed out to him Every
body seeks introductions to him, and the old players
of the time of Lab.,ui donnais treat him w.th the
greatest reverence.”
After finishing his mu ch with Harwi'z, Mr. M r
phy will proceed directly to Berlin and Breslau to
meet Auderssen, Lange and Mayet, who, with Von
der La 'a, are a', present toe great exp nenlu of Ger
man chess. It is a matter of much regret, both to
Mr. Morphy and his admirers, that the diplomatic
dnt'ei o! Vender Li-a (who is Prussian Minister at
R,o Janeiro) preclude the possibility ot bringi g
about a meeting between these distinguished pi&y
ers. The last, Illustrated News of London gives a
portrait and life of Mr. Morphy, together with the
eight games player blindfolded by him at the Bur
mingbam meeting.

lowe storv occupied at this time by Miss Kellogg

top of the chimney, n eking of a few of the top
bricks. From thence it appears to have spread

tearing olf the iuiing on the ssme side of tbe house,

c msUince attending the occurrence is, iu our
view, that the house was not set on fire, and hq
mark of tire is visible Large seams are tom up
• *n the frame of the house, in four or five places,
both io and outside. It was Providenti*l that the
occurrence did not take place during school houie
