VlCE-PItESlDENT,
EDWARD EVERETT,
OF MASSACHUSETTS.^
|»oo» and Kills In North Carolina.
Wo find in ibo Fayetteville Observer a
report of a diocoooion between ibe rival can-
dido for Governor, at Carthage in Moore
county, on the 20th inst. A* aorr.e of tbe
Democratic papera of other Slates have
bren circulating the report that Tool it
favorable to Breckinridge, we copy the laat
eentence of tbe report of bit speech :
"Mr. Pool concluded by r»y* n B tt
some tribute to tbe worth and merited Bell
and Everett, and declared he would support
the ticket with heart and hand."
Gov. Ellis baa at length been compelled
to declare bis preference, but he baa done it
at so late a day and under such modifica
tions as to prevent any split in tho party on
that account. He ia for Breckinridge and
Lane, but pleads for harmony and union in
tbe party, and there is no sign of division.
All tbe Democratic papera auatain him,
though eomo of them are for Douglas.
The Raleigh Standard, the leading Demo-
cratic paper in tbe Btate, which baa here
tofore been recarded aa for Douglas, and
which indeed atill declares that Douglas
waa regularly nominated—tho editor of
which was a delegate to Charleston and
Baltimore and refused to secede—has rut)
up the BrsckinriJge flag conditionally, and
pledges its support to that ticket upon cer
tain terms to lie submitted td the Demo
cratic State Convention. Tho Convention
is to meet in September, end to prevent uny
division in the counties until after the Au
gust election, county meetings to appoint
delegates are postponed until after the t\f>t
Thursday in Auguat. It is thus that the
North Carolina Democracy have managed
to prevent any split in their party «o far;
hut it must come, of course, ufier tho Au
gust election, for the two factions cannot
agreo upon tho terms proposed by the Stan
dard. Wo still have confidence that, not
withstanding this co-operation of alt the
Democratic element* against him, John
J’ool will be elected Governor, end a Whig
Legislature will be rboaon. But, whatever
may bo the result In Auguat, North Caro
lina i< a sure State for Bell and Everett in
November.
Aa Astonishing Conversion.
No political event, since the Democratic
ruminations at Baltimore, has caused
much surprise aa the conversion of Senator
Green,of Missouri, to Douglaa. Ever airier
Green’s entrance into the Senate, ho Iibi
beon regarded aa the very antipode of Doug,
las. He was chosen by the Democratic
majority to take the place which Douglas
had ao long filled as Chairman of tho Com
mittee on Territories, and throughout his
term ho and Douglaa have been pitted
ogainal each other un all Territorial ques-
tions. It lias berfh charged against Doug
las that he rociprocaled Green’s hostility ao
hosrtily that he sent for F. 1*. Blair to form
a coalition with tho Black Republicans of
Missouri, by which Green's ro-eleciion to
the Senate might be defeated and Uluir
chosen in his steadl Aa soon as tho late
aeaaion of the Senate adjourned, Green
jioiiad off to Missouri ami was instrumental
in bringing out a Breckinridge candidate
for Governor in opposition to the regular
nominee, who ia a Douglaa man. Yet the
latest report from Missouri ia that Green
has grounded the arms of Ilia rebellion and
gouo over to the support of tho Douglas
Wtato ticket I The St. Louis Democrat
eay« that Green’s detection is "the greatoot
discouragement that could possibly befall the
Breckimidge movement in Missouri." Shall
wo next bear that President Buchanan,
Secretary Cobb, Jeff Davis, Wm. L. Yan
cey and tho Charleston Mercury are also
supporting Douglaa! If ao, wo give our
Douglas friends fair notification that our
••sympathy” for them is at an end !
Very Much Mixed.
The New York Day Hook publishes a list
uf about eighty "prominent gentletuon”
throughout the Union who aro supporting
Breckinridge and Lane. It commences
with President lluc\uuan, includes all his
Cabinet, and anda with Judge Uartloy of
Ohio. It includes the name* of Secretary
Cass, Senator Brown of Miss., and Hon.
James Guthrio of Ky., neither of whom,
our opinion. Is supporting Breckinridge,
also embraces John Van Huron, John A.
Dix, ami other abolitionists, all of whom,
we believe, arc supporting Breckinridge.
gny The New York Daily New a sayi
that collector Schall haa issued a secret cir
cular,addressed to the Post Masters and oth
er Government officers in ilie Stale of New
Voik, urging them to organize independ
ently, hold an exclusive State Convent
nominate a Dreckinr^lgo and Lane Electo
ral ticket, Ar. This seems to determine
that tho Urockinridgo parly will not unito
with the couseivattve men of other parties
in New York in a common effort to save
tbo Slate from the Black Republicans, and
thus to defeat the election of Lincoln be
yond peradvrnlure. Tho moveiuont for a
union between the eupporters of Douglas
and Bril, however, appears to be progress
ing favorably, and we b.-heto that it will
be strong enough to save tho State.
Pretty Old.—Tho papers have found
out an old gentleman named Solomon Pang-
Ihuii, living at Rising Sun, ludiana, who is
supposed to bo the oldest inau in the United
Slates. He was born in the city of New
York, in 1725, and is consequently now
13A years old. He gets about and helps
himself with difficulty, and complains that
tor the last year ot two hit health hat much
declined.
IT* John C. Breckinridge, the sccedera'
camlidate lor tbe Presidency, bolted the
Democratic party iu 1847-8, and supported
Gen. Taylor for the Presidency. We have
brfore us a report of a Taylor meeting, iu
which he took a conspicuous part. He al
so gave "aid and comfort” to the Know-
Nothings in the day of their prosperity.
Tribute to Mr. Pjllmore.
We have procured from Jameb P. Wad
dell, Esq., a report of his eloquent tribute
to cx-President Fillmore, delivered in the
course of bis speech et the Bell and Ever,
ett ratification meeting in this city. Mr.
WadJell was an office-holder under Mr.
Fillmore’s administration, and is enthusias
tically attached to the man and to hi* ad
ministrative poliev. Our readers will ep-
predate the truth as well as the beauty of
Mr. Waddell’s eulogy :
Fellow Citizent .—I have mentioned the
name of Millard Fillmore ; and here let
me pause in my argument, to pay a passing
tribute to that great and good man. And
more especially does it afford me pleasure to
do ao, aince his position haa recently been
misrepresented and his name blended with
the traitorous boats who are supporting Mr.
Lincoln for the Presidency. It is Raid that
when, a few years ago, this country waa
visited by that beautiful meteoric phenom-
hich delighted ao many of the sci
entific .and alarmed ao many of the igno
rant, there was one among the number who
gazed upon the wonderful display of na
ture's majesty, who waa heard to exclaim,
aa one by one the whole planetary system
seemed losing their centres of gravity and
plunging into Ibo abyia of apace, that hope
was bright within his heart aa ho kept his
eye steadily fixed on tho North polar star
and saw that Iruo to its place in the Heav-
ens. And thua, aa one by one tbe great
political lights of our Northern firmament
have gone out and plunged into the dark
abyss of fanaticism and treason, I have
kept my eye aleadily fixed upon Millard
Fillmore as tbo bright polar star of North
ern conservatism, and thank God ! he is
yet true to his place in tbo Heavens. And
sometimes, my countrymen, amid all tho
gloom with which the future of our history
seems shrouded, I have cherished the hope
that patriots enough, such as he, msy rise
up in ull the majesty of truth, and rebuking
tho fell spirit of discord, restore peace and
harmony to our distracted country.
Give ua tho Whole af Itl
The readers of tbe Columbus Timet will
find under its editorial head, every morning,
select extracts from a speech delivered Hon.
John C. Breckinridge, iu candidate for the
Presidency, nt Frankfort, Ky., last winter.
Wo at first thought the Timet was pub-
I siting tbe whole speech in "broken dosea,"
but an examination shows that it is giving
tho tame short anil very leltct extracts ev-
ery day. Now our present purpose ia to
ask it to publish the whole speech *, but we
don’t believe that we can prevail on it to
do so. Tbo whole speech not only mod
ifies to a considerable extent tho opinions
seemingly advanced in the extracts, but it
utters patriotio and sound sentiments which
the Timet and its party are especially deal-
rous ot keeping out of aigbt just now. It
ia not often that wo are instrurnontnl in
procuring tbo publication of a Democratic
speech, but we nre earnest and sincere in
importuning tho Timet to publish the whole
of Urockinridgn's Frankfort speech. Why
should it be afraid or ashamed to copy what
its candidate for tbo Presidency uttered in
hit very lot! political speech ?
Tho Clayton (Ala.) Banner, a Breck
inridge puper, says that "tho Douglaa wing
ia to be tbo genn of the future emancipa
tion party of the South." Tho same paper
baa for ila motto, "Separate Nationalities
for antagonistic Droplet
w, we submit to the Banner the quei
if the strong and growing Dough
party of tho South ia to be ''tho germ of
future emancipation parly," bow will its
Jy for our sectional antagonisms—i
Southern Confederacy—effect the object
nd in view ! Will it givo security to the
peculiar ina'.ffution” of tho South, ot put
n end to the agitation that ia alwayi
threatening it! Admitting the future or
ganization of this emancipation parly, will
not the South, in pursuance of her remedy
of "separate nationalities for antagonistic
peoples," soon lisvo to divide again
rid of these Douglas emancipationists ? We
believe that they aro or will be eman
cipationist*, but wo put tho question merely
i suggest the Inadequacy of the proposed
unedy—to show that, disunion o
mouced, there will be no end to sub-divis
ion* and contentions. A much safer
edy is "The Union, the Constitution, and
the Enforcement of the Laws.”
Mr#Bell on tha Kansas Nebraska.11111.
The Timet chuckles with delight over a
supposed bran-new discovery, by which it
ia made to appear that John Bell, in his
speech on the admission of Kansas, ad
mitted that Ibe clauso in the Kansea-Ne-
breaks bill guaranteeing to the people of
tbe Territory perfect freedom to form and
ragulate their institutions in their own way,
ao more conferred squatter sovereignty then
the New Mexico and Utah bills. Tho way
tbe 'Timet presents Mr. Bell’s reasoning, it
looks aa if it had made out ite case; but
the way hia speech reads, it appears very
differently. Mr. Bell was not arguing the
question of the power of a Territorial Leg
islature to tolerate or exclude slavery at all.
He was debating with Mr. Toombs his
proposition that the act did not Authorize
the people of Kansas to meet in Convention
and frame a State Constitution without a
provious enabling act of Congress—an as
sumption of power which the settlers of that
Terrilt ry had arrogated to ihrtnnelvca by
virtue of the "perfectly free” assurance.
Mr. Bell argued that this clause, though
never put in any Territorial bill before, end
though put into the Kansas bill with n sin
ister “purpose” and "design,’’ really con
ferred no more power, constitutionally, than
the bill would without it, because it was
governed by the limitation "subject to the
constitution of tho United Slates." If the
Timet will refer to our previous articles on
this subject, it will see that we too took this
ground—that wo maintained that Con
gress, though it delegated "perfect free-
dom" over the question of slavery by tbo
terms of tho bill, could not dolegate more
power than ilsolf possessed, and that it pos
sessed no power to legislate prejudicially to
slavery in a Territory. But we maintained
that by this clause it did undertake, to
license tbe people of Kansas to do, in (heir
Territorial capacityfwhnt Congress itself
could not do—a license never-bufore put
iiiy Territorial bill; and that in pur
suance of this license the Territorial Leg-
ilature of Kansan had abolished ami pro-
bibitod slavery. We maintained that though
the delegation of power was unconstitu
tional, a resort to the Supremo Court lor
redress was not a full and amplo remedy,
for reasons which we gavo.
With this explanation, wo copy the whole
of this part of Mr. Bell's speech, which
the reader will see, has a vrry different
meaning from that which the Timet' #clec
d sentences, out ot their true connection
ve to it :
I noticed that my friend from Georgia ar
gued tho general question to-day on thu ns
numpiion that thui act did give to the people
of Kaunas tbo power to lorui a eonntitui
but be afterwards said tlint Congrean
nd to accept tbo constitution >
formed under such authority ; though be
did contend that Congress would be bn
providod it bad passed nn enabling art
the people nl Territory had accepted
and acted under it. It Congress would not
be bound to accept a constitution lormcd
under territorial authority, derived from tli
organic law, whet is that bui mi admiaaioi
that the organic law dona not contain the
power claimed f If tbo power ia given by
the organic law, it ia in the place ot an en
abling act, nnd would be just as binding on
Congress when the people of Kana m ac
cepted it as would bo an enabling art ac
cepted by thn people of the Territory. With
all duo deference nod respect to the opin
ions ol tbo honorablu Bena'or from Georgia
and tho 1'rceidonl of tliu United Suites, I
think there is no pretext lor the assumption
that the organic law ol the Territory con
ferred any such power ns is claimed, it
it did, the organic laws of I'tali. .Now Mex
ico, and Nebraska, conferred the same pow
er on tite people id ilmso Tcrntor.es, lor the
language is identical in ull those laws. The
Kansas organic law, alter desorbing the
boundaries ot the proposed Tcrtitiry, pro
ceeds to declare that—
"The lime is hereby erected into a tem
porary govoruiiiuut by the nuiiiouf the Ter
ritory ol Kalians ; and when nd mined on

A Vow of the Hoceilt Change*.
Mr. John R. Hurt, who was appointed a
Breckimidge delrgato to the Milledgevilln
State Convention of that party, aaya in a
card to tho Romo Courier, that he intends
to vote for Bell and Everett.
John VV. Norwood, Esq., a Democratic

The Charleston Democratic Convention
ostensibly split upon the platform of tbe
party. Both divisions, at the meeting in
that city, were willing to re-adopt the Cin-
cinati Platform as a basis; but the South
insisted ou a resolution of interpretation,
repudiating and disclaiming tha aquatter
sovereignty construction that bad been gen-
lly given to it; while the Northern m“*
jority aa resolute’y refused to pass any res
olution of interpretation or modification.
the two sections disagreed, and a por
tion of the South seceded. Congress waa
then in aeasioo, and Senator Douglaa took
rly occasion to make a spear.h in the
Senate in reference to tho disagreement.
In that speech be proved beyond dispute,
by tbe reading of numerous resolutions,
ipeccbca, lettera, Ac., that hi* interpretation
of the Cincinnati Platform bad been sus
tained by nearly all tbe leaders and by tbo
great body of tho Democratic parly of all
sections. He declared that when the Con
vention should moot again a* Baltimore, ho
would consent to the adoption of an expla
nation of the platform in tho terms of at.y
of these resolutions, 6cc. And in reference
to Mr. Breckinridge he declared empbati-
lly that he would be willing to take hit
interpretation “without dotting an i or cross
ing a t.” (Wo published thii portion of
Mr. Douglas’ speech last week.) Before
thus strongly endorsing Mr. Breckinridge’s
interpretation of the platform, Mr. Douglas
bad it read to tbe Bcnate in the hearing of
Mr. B., and not one word of denial ot re
pudiation of it r.amo from the Vice-Prrsi-
dent or any of hit friends. This was on
tha iGth of May last, at which tftnn Mr.
Breckinridge was not regarded as an aspi
rant or nominee for the Presidency, Mr.
Guthrio being presented es the choice of
Keutucky. He was then quite willing to
lakn the Cincinnati Platform again, with
only bis own interpretation, which Douglaa
too waa willing to accept as a settlement of
tho difficulty "without dotting an i or cross
ing n t.” Wo have, moreover*, tho au'hor-
ity of the Louisville Democrat lor tbe as
sertion that Mr. Hreckcnridge at that time
“denounced the iceedert at Charleston, and
pledged himself to canvass the Shite for
Douglas if ho was nominated” at Balti

Times (now for Breckinridge) then pledged
itself to the support of either a Wouthrrn
man upon tbe Cincinnati Platform unex
plained, or Douglaa with a satisfactory ex
planation. Wliat explanation could bo more
satisfactory to it than that of its own pres-
out candidatu lor the Presidency ? This
explanation would also have been entirely
satisfactory to Douglaa—he "wouldn’t «Wt

A great natural curiosity has lately been
discovered in Missouri, which bids lair to
rival tbe great Kentucky cave. Tbe fol
lowing description of it is given by the Jef
ferson City Examiner:
The ca*e ia in 1'belps county, and three-
quarters of a mile from tbe Gasconade river,
creek called Cavo Spring creek, in
township 38, section 21, range 0, west.—
We went into the cave, guided hv Mr. R.
H. Prewelt, a young man about 25 years
old, who waa bum and raised about a quar
ter of a mile from (his place. In front of
tbe entrance was a small stone house, which
tbe old settiers thought waa built by tbe In
dians, but now in ruins. Tbe entrance
goes straight in tbe rock on a level with a
surrounding surface rock, is about ono hun
dred feet wide, and in tho centre, about 25
feet high, arched.
Messrs. Fried® and Prewott entered the
cave for nearly 400 feet, where it narrows
to about twenty-five feet wide, by five feel
high, and presents tbe appearance of an
aule-ebamber ; from there they passed into
a large chamber, about 100 feet in height,
where tbe three galleries branch off; they
then passed into the left gulleiy, urbit h as
cends nearly 20 feet ori a bed of saltpetre.
This gallery is called tho Dry Chamber,
and is about 500 feet in length ; the height
varies from 100 to about 30 leot. The ceil
ing and aides are composed of solid rock.—
Near the end is a large round chamber,
which Mr. Prewett call# the Ball Room.
After exploring tbe chamber they retra
ced their steps, and passed in the right
branch, or fork, of tbe cave, where they as
cended a use of about twelve feet, ami en
tered soother gallery, the end ol which is
not known. They, however, explored it
about three-quarters of a mill-. Mr. Prcw-
ell states that he has been in this gallery
over two inilos, und did not then get to the
end of it. lu this gallery tho dropping of
water has lormcd stalactites of the most
bosutiful conceptions—statues of men and
animals, and large columns, supporting tho
most bcuutiful arches, from the celling,
which ia from 50 to 100 toot high, which
forms several chambers of various siees.—
The ceiling is decorated with different
groups of spars, forming a variety of fig-
ures, which represent the irtsidu of a ca
thedral. The size ot some of theau cham
bers is about 40 leot wide by 100 feet high
and look like rooms in somu old feudal
castle.
They were afraid thtir lights w<
out, therefore they retraced their
Ihe main chamber, Iron) which they ascc
ed to the middle gallery, where a li
■tream of clear water issues from the 11
rior ol the cave, and bus a fall of about

Mr. James Lankford, of Fearing town
ship, Ohio, had a avvere light with three
enormous spotted hjack snakes, on Mon
day morning last. Ho had bren repair-
ing » harrow by the side of a large tree, in
jno of his fields, when a strange sensa
tion passed over him, which paralyzed him
to such an extent as to render him almost
powerless. He felt conscious that danger
was approaching, yet seemed unable to
save himself. Ho heard a rustling noise
on the tree beside him, and was partially
aroused from this stupor by n anake six
feet and four inches long and seven inches
in circumference, striking him on the back,
pasting over Ins shoulder, around bis body
and under bit arras. A second snnEe im
mediately coiled itself around his body.—
Seeing a third approaching, and aroused
to desperation, he seized an axo which he
fortunately bad with him, and by a lucky
blow severed it in two, six inches back of
its hsad. This ono wa* five feet and eight
inches long. Mr. Lankford then turned
his efforts to ridding himself of his other
foes, then beginning to lighten themselves
unpleasantly around his breast. A severe
contest ensued, lasting filteen nr twenty
minutes, during which Mr. L. v;.»» thrown
down several limes.
The reptiles kept up a constant hissing
noise, and emitted a fetid, sickening odor.
At leogtb, the largest snake, in endeavor
ing to strike Mr. L. in tbe mouth, at which
it made repeated efforts, was seized by the
back of tbe neck, between Mr. Lankford’s
teeth, and literally cruahrd. The snake
instantly uncoiled, and throw itself from
him to the ground, hors du combat. The
third one did the same, and made hia es
cape, Mr. L. being too much exhausted to
msko any attempt to pursue it.
It was a narrow esespe for Mr. L., who
is a farmer, and whose veracity is unques
