VVe purposely let the lirat tance* copied above remain unchalleng ed in thu Timet from day to day, to aee how our neighbor would get itself out of the awkward position into which it bad gotten by making euch char ge*. The truth is, we have a good deal of confidence in the intention of our neighbor to act fairly, and we believe* that it will come as near doing so as it is possible for a democratic paper to come, in ail case* in which it consults the rrcord for itself and } does not take on trust the aaaerliona of oth- I era. But unfortunately it ia too prone to j belie re the statements of others, and thus' gets sometimes tangled up into difficulties like that of which we a'c now writing. In this case, it shows its discovery of its mis take by the “erratum’’ copied above and by discontinuing the publication of the All expectant Dlsuiiioiilat I.caves Us. In the last Americu* Aewt we find a let ter from y. C. Elam, E«q., the American candidate for Congress in this District three years ago, in which he announces his de sertion of the cause of Bell and Everett and his accession to the ranks of Breckin ridge and Lane. IIis reasons for taking this course are either the most singular or the moat honestly avowed that we have yet seen from any of the Opposition recruits 10 the Mecrder*. He says that he goes over to Breckinridge ‘‘without a dimunilion of con fidence in Bell and Everett that ‘‘there is nothing in the platform of Bell and Ev erett which show* that thev are themselves prepared to yisld the essential demand* of the South,” and that “the friends of Bell can exhibit a record which, it would seetu, ought lo satisfy any reasonable Southern man.” Mill, Col. Elam luarchta olf from us and joins the Bcccdert ! Why t In his own words, “My first objection to Bell and Everett is, that wu have no guaranty that their election would quiet tho country. “My second objection is, that they do nol stand the ghost of a chanco of being elect ed.’ • reader would naturally conclude, then, tuat Col. Klara goes for Brerkinridgc and Lano because thry are free from these objections which debar bis support of Bell and Everett. Not a bit of it ! Ho says that “Breckinridge and Lano stand event slimmer chance of election than Bell and Everett.” Then why ioea Col.

Mr. //ell not only never voted to abolish slavery in thn District of Columbia, hut he fish tho slave tho District, the continuance of which trallic of course included the contin uance of slavery. We know that tho Tinut has copied from other paper* garbled ox- tract* from a -perch of Mr. Bell, in which ho conceded the power of Congress to abol ish -lavtry in the District, and declared that if it were practicable to secure thereby guaranties that tho North would cease it* anti-slavery agitation, and if compensating advantages could he obtained for the Booth, he would ho willing to sen the scant rem nant of slavery in the District abolished, and the negroen removed from thn country; hut he at the sumo time expressed the opin ion that this whs impracticable, and never favored any measure to do what he said ho would be willing contingently to accede to. Tho very speech in which he made this ad mission was one in opposition to the bill to abolish tho slavo trade in the District. It whs a good Southern speech, which the Timet will no more publish entire than it will publish tho whole' nf Breckinridge's speech st Frankfort. Indeed wu are satis fied that our neighbor would sooner pub- lisli the Frankfurt speech in full than this speech of Mr. //ell. Now as to tho power of Congress to shol- ish slavery in the District of Columbia. It is very different from and much more am ple than any power delegated in rc*pcct lo the Territories- The constitution vests in Congre-s “exclusive legislation in uII ca*o* whatsoever” over the District of Columbia. Mr. Van //uren when ho was a candidate for the Presidency, admitted that lhe*e comprehensive word* gave Congress power abolish slavery in the District, and the whole Democratic party voted for him with this delcaration fresh on his lipt! Mr. //uchatian claimed this power fur Congress, and the Democracy supported him four years ago as thu otdy frinml of tho Mouth and the only candida'o whoso election would securo her rights (in Kansas and elaewhcre !) Hon.'Wm. It. k Ktng, ol Ala., RU-tained Mr. //ell In his admission of the power of Congress to abolish Ihe slave trade tho District (though, like Mr. Bell, he Ifiinccc-sary Alarm about Cii It is true that the corn crops in cti'UiH of Georgia and Alabama Book and count the number era and you will have hi* vol about hm many office-holders outsiders.” Tile republican* divisions of the Democracy dent of nu easy succcmm.

But wo are sati-fied that there is no necessity for s panic on this subject, or for any contracts fur the procurement of corn st prices near so high ns the present. The crops of rnsny Htste.1 of tho North- went are sliuttdant, and their great grana ries can supply the continent. Il is the opinion of tho heat informed business men hete—gentlemen who havo taken pains to inform thein-slvcs in to tho extont of the prohahlo demand and supply—that when tho new crop of tho Went cornea freely in to market, corn can he laid down horo at HOc. to $1 per bushel ; indeed, we hear that one gcutlemun proposes to furnish any quantity st 90c. Our peopls who are ap prehensive ol still higher prices than the present, and who are disposed lo embrace almost any offer to supply them with corn at any price within tho hounds of reason, will therefore st-o that (hero is no good cauae for much of their alarm. Tha fail ure or insufficiency of their own crops is of course a great loss and much to bo regretted, but we are convinced that they need not fear “famine prices.” The following extract, sustaining these views, is from a letter of a gentleman of excellent judgment und correct observa tion, who, as it will bo seen, has exten sively traveled and collected information this subject as a matter of business.
