THE DAILY TIMES. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 3. The Democracy of Judge Douglas— Policy of the South. Upon Ihis question there exists a wide difference between ourselves and some of our Democratic brethren. The acknowledged intelligence and high position ot those from whose opinions it is our fortune or misfortune to dissent, if not suffi cient to inspire distrust in our own opinions, are at least sufficient to cause us to exercise due caution in their adoption, and to see that the foundations upon which they rest have the immutability of truth. We have carefully applied this test to our judgment upon this question, and the result is a confirmation of our faith. The claims which our antagonists set forth as entitling Judge Douglas to the renewed confidence and support of the Democracy, are that he is with us upon every question exeept'that which was made by the Con ference settlement—that this is a defunct issue, and that since the contest in Illinois must result either in the election of Douglas, or a Black Republican, it is the duty of the Democracy to support the former. The first proposition asserts that which may or may not be true- The second embodies a conclusion which we regard an illegitimate and highly improbable sequence from known facts, aDd the third assumes the truth of a doubtful pro position, and makes a deduction therefrom, the validity of which we cannot admit. Upon the first position it is perhaps sufficient to remark that the past conduct of Judge Douglas justifies a mis trust of the sincerity of any professions he may make. His course in reference to the admission of Kansas under the Lecompton Constitution dis. appointed every body. He was committed to the support of that measure so far as a man can be committed by his antecedents. To wage a bitter and unrelenting warfare against the Admin istration and Democracy, which, for vindictivenes has no parallel in the annals of the party, he had to breast the current of his political history, and reverse every position he had taken upon similar quest ons for the ,'ast eight years. With whatever motive he may be credited, he is too unreliable to be trusted. But secondly, is it true ihat the conlerence set tlement is a defunct issue I We would lain so consider it; but Mr. Douglas occupying an atti tude identical with that of the Black Republicans, will not allow us. He will not admit that we have reached • he end of the controversy. Instead of exerting himself to still the wave sof anti-slavery agitation, he wields his trident to lash its tuibid waters into a yet more tumultuous and ungovernable fury. The proposition for admis sion with the Lecompton Constitution upon the terms ol the Conference Bill has been rejected by the people of Kansas. The alternative propo sition which, inferentially, they have accepted, is to abide in a territorial condition until they shall have a population sufficient to entitle them to a representation io Congress. But no! says Mr. Douglas ; no! respond the Black Republicans; this restriction is an unjust discrimination against “freedom” and must be repealed. The people of Kansas must frame anew constitution—apply to Congress as speedily as possible and be admitted. This is the line of future action recently and plain ly indicated by Judge Douglas. Are the Demo cracy prepared to endorse it? Will the Southern Democracy endorse a man who declares it ? Are they p epared to yield confessedly the only con sideration in the Conlerence Bid which com mended it to the support of Sonthern representa tives? We will not argue the question. For ourselves, unsatisfactory as it was to us, we intend foflfpnfata 1 jfesnjsf? xoMioifJ alone to the success of the party, we m : ght be in duce I to adopt a different c urse; but a mere party triumph hus no fa?cination for us If it cannot be achieved exc-pt by au abandonment of principle, defeat were better. Thirdly, it is asserted that since the contest in Illinois must result in the election of Douglas or Lincoln it is the duty of the Democracy to sup port the former. The premiss being granted, the conclusion is a non sequitur. An extract from the Chicago Herald, which we published in yester day's paper, gives us ground for doubting the fact. It says that the Democracy of Illinois is indiffer ent to the fight between these gentlemen and in tends to prevent the success of either by electing Judge Breese, or some other good democrat. In whatever way this may result, we consider the choice between the two a matter of taste and no 1 of principle. True, Judge Douglas claims to be a demoeiat and says he is on - the Cincinnatti platform ; but of what value are such professions to us when in the only practical test to which they have been sub jected, and which involved the rights and equali ty of,the South, his interpretation of that platform placed him in political alignment with John P. Hale, Preston, King, Chase, Wade and Trum bull. He exerted his whole] energy and ability, atimulatedby a degree of virluence unparalled in the annals of political warfare, to break down the administration of Mr. Buchauan on the Lecompton question. He has done more towards the de moralization of the'Dem oeracy than any man who has ever been a member of the | party, and in view of his pro gramme of future action and his consequent capac ity to do still greater mischief we shail regard his success in Illinois, equally with that of Lincoln’s, with feelings of unmixed regret. His motto was “rule or ruin ’and having displayed extraordinary fertility of resource in the latter branch of the al ternative, we believe in the principle as well as the policy ot confining him to it. Having made all the havoc of which he was capable in the past, we are unwilling that he should “rule.” Jn this Lecompton matter the course of the administration has squared with the views and interets of the Southern an in the present conflict be tween it and the Illinois Senator our earnest sym pathies are with the formerr. Cable Celebration in New York. Notwithstanding the recent celebration in New York City in honor of so glorious an achievement in practical science as the laying of the sub-ma rine telegraph, there was to have been another celebration on eWdnesday the Ist inst, in which an exhibition was to be made not surpassed here tofore in point of grandeur and brilliancy. Extensive arrangements were made for torch light processions by the Firemen and magnificent transparencies were arrauged. Mr. Cyrus W. Field —to whom the honor is due for the success of this enterprise—was present and was of course to take a prominet past in the ceremonies. We have published the message of the Mayor of Savannah to be read at the cele bration. Other messages we suppose have Jfc>een sent from other cit es and in a few days, we will be able to ° ar , rea derß an account of this Jcelebra iion, j t npeaks this much in favor of the Ameii cao people:—that they appreciate so glorious an achievement as the laying oftne telegraph-that they regard it as an era in practical science and a monument marking us adranaemeot. 8 Gen’l. Joseph Lane of Oregon. This old hero and statesman, will, in the very nature of circumstances, be perhaps the most i available of all the Northern Democrats for the Presidency before the Charleston Convention. With no record to rise up before us, like Banquo’s ghost, in the heat of the canvass, that will oot down at our bidding—with no antecedents incon sistent with the character of a true statesman— with warm friends in the Western country and home of his adoption to support him, he will combine more of the discordant elements of the democracy, than any one man. A North Caro linian by birth—a Senator lrorn a fiee State—an old hero in battle—a man of strict integrity and morality—a great friend to the Constitution and the South, his name will be a tower of strength at the head of the Democratic ticket. The South could not object to him—he has stood too fitmly by her in the hour of necessity, when she was forsaken by her own sons The Echo’s Officers—Trial, &c. The officers on board the slaver, Echo, which was recently taken on the coast k of Cuba with a cargo of Africans, are to be taken to Columbia, S. C. where they* will fbe tried for a violation ot the laws of the United States. They consist of Americans and Spaniards. The slave trade, it will be remembered by our readers, has been de clared to be “piracy” by our laws Hence these officers will be tried for this offence. Judge Wayne, of the U. S. Supreme Court, will pre side in the case, and it will be conducted in the prosecution by the U. S. Pistrict Attorney.— What a commentary is it upon the law-abiding (?) citizens of Boston, wbo resisted the execution the fugitive slave law—who stonod the carriage of the U S. District Attorney, because he respec ted the majesty of the law, and desired the slave Burns remanded to his owner in to see the people of South Carolina carrying into exe cution a law, which stamps the brand of Cain on their brow—a law declaring the African slave trade piracy!

Most noble Vicentio; and well might be added a Decade, or more to that. So mused we, whilom conning over a time worn volume entitled ‘‘Forms and Statues lor the State of Georgia; bearing date of publication more than a half century ago. And being the first compilation of the kind, if we credit “The Author/’ a modest man who gives no other name; nor sought for, or received any “State aid,” “He has at length” he says in his intro duction, “ventured on the arduous task, of a first attempt, to accommodate his fellow citizens, with such a book. He should not indeed have undertaken it, but for the ad vice and assistance of several members of the bar, and particularly John Hammill, Esq, whose friendly aid is gratefully ac knowledged.” Thereat concluding his prefatory remarks, he opens his book with some suggestions to presiding Magistrates. Leaving to us the manifest inference, that even in those days, to which we are accustomed to revert as the golden era of pristine virtue, justice that'dissatiffaction with judicial decisions is no new thing. The concluding paragraph is worthy of all commendation. “Above all, a magistrate ought to divest himself of every kind of partiality, and se riously to reflect, and ever bear* in mind, that he is acting under the solemn obliga tion of an oath, and will one day have to give an account to searcher of hearts for the rectitude of his intentions,and the prop erty of his decision.” Then follow the Forms and Statutes ar ranged in alphabetical order ; and as many of them are curious, and all antiquated, it may not be wholly uninteresting to detail some of them. Not so much to show the Protean forms which the Law assumes, as to recall the statutes, supposed to have con trolled our ancestors in the “times we read ; of.” Passing over “Addition,” “Apprentices,” ! Arson, etc ; it treateth of “Bread” as fol ! lows: “If any baker or seller of soft bread, as hereinbefore mentioned, shall put into any such “bread” by him or her sold, or ex posed to sale, any mixture other than what shall be necessary for the well making, or baking thereof, to be judged of by the Jus tices trying or examining the same, every j such person so offending shall for every such offence, forfeit all such bread so frau dulently mixed, for the use of the poor of the parish, where the offence shall be com mitted and also a sum, not exceeding twen ty shillings for the use of the informer, or informers,* to be recovered by warrant of distress and sale.

Art of ! 1768. It is rather an amusing reflection on the I democratic equality of the olden time, when ; no man felt himself better than his neigh bor, that what was deemed deleterous diet i for the rich, was innocuous to the di gestion of a poor man. Jolly times, too were they for the Justice, who when he felt a yearning for his daily bread had only to j go to the nearest baker's stall “prospecting j around” testing the weight of the bread, j and the goodness thereof and Lo ! he was ’ filled. Nor had the baker any right to object, if he did the worthy Magistrate would only fill his pockets with the wherewithal to fill an “aching void” in in his hungry constituents, and ensure his j election for the succeeding term. And thpnce, we wot, came the now significant i expression with regard to a successful can- j didate for office; “he takes the bread.” For j aught we know to the contrary the above ! still stands upon our “Statute Book” unan- | nulled, or superseded. Yet, things are not | as they were and we are prone to confess that. ***** “So our De crees dead to infliction, to themselves are dead. moss akon. REX- A Precedent. A writer m the Charleston Courier, speaking in reference to the recent capture of the slaver, and the probable disposition of the Africans, says: The present ca9e is not without prece dent, and the action of the Government then, may indicate what will probably be its course in the present instance. Thirty years ago a vpssel with a cargo ol Africans was wrecked on Carysfort. Reef. The Africans were landed and transferred to St. Augustine, and placed in the custo day or sale keeping of the U. S. Marshal, who received instructions from the authori ties at Washington to hire them out and make them defray their own expenses, un til a vessel could be sent for them. They remained for some time in Florida, perhaps a year. In the Fall of 1829, a vessel arriv ed in the port of St. Augustine, and as soon as the Africans ascertained the object of her coming, most of them, unwilling to leave the flesh-pots of Florida, took to the woods, and it was with some difficulty that the Marshal could muster them for embarka tion. What rendered this very annoying to him was, that having been an appointee of Mr. Adams, and General Jackson being then busily engaged in his work of “Re form,” (alias removing good officers and in very many instances filling their places with bad,) the Marshal stood a very fair chance of feeling the sweep of the Gener al’s broom unless he could give an account of the negroes undei his charge, They were finally gotten togethei anti shipped for Liberia. What became of them after wards we had no means of knowing. P. The Captive Negroes—Description. It will no doubt be interesting to many of oni readers to sue a deseriptiou of the appc-arauce and manners of the Guinea slaves—such as are taken cap ive and sold in Cuba. Tho Editor of the Charleston Mercury, thus describes the ne groes now at Castle Pincnney, who wore on board the slaver, Echo, which was recently taken by the man-of-war, Dolphin. He ear?: Being curious to see the cargo and ar rangement of the Echo, we obtained a per mit from Dr. W. C. Ravenel, the Port Phy sician, and with one or two others accom panied Lieut. Bradford in a small boat from | the wharf. Upon clambering up the side j of the brig, a strange- and startling sight ! presented itself; a deck covered with na tive Africans in a state ot complete nudity, with rare instances of a narrow strip of rag an inch wide round the waist. These people were seated for the most part with i their legs stretched out flat or drawn up in j front or doubled up; some squatted on i their feet and hands. A few were standing j about and a few lying down. None were ied or fastened in any way. The majori ty were very young, apparently from eight to sixteen years of age, some younger and some older; scarcely one, however, over twenty-five. Some of them were able bodied, good sized and in good case; but the greater part were half grown children only, weak and worn. Many were much ! emaciated, and showed plainly the effects j of their long and crowded passage in a con ! fined ship. A few were evidently ill and | soon to die. All were pure black in color : except the dropsical, whose skins were tawny from disease. Their hair is very short and crisp. Those who were well ap peared curious and pleased, some of them ogling and giggling and chattering, and others smoking tobacco out of short clay pipes with cane stems, just as our own ne looked dull and brutish, but there was no thing wild or ferocious in their aspect. — They looked amiable and docile, and rea dily obeyed the commands of the person who had charge of them. They are great thieves, however, and appropriate whatev ;er they can on every occasion. There j were 246 males and 60 females, who were ! kept separate on deck, and in the holds. ; The men and boys were kept on the for ward deck and in the forward hold, which latter is 55 feet long, 19 feet wide in the broadest part, and narrow at the head, and 44 inches high, the floor being formed of loose boards, movable at pleasure. The ! hold of the women and girls is behind this. It is of the same height, 12 feet long and 19 wide. Under this temporary flooring is stored the provisions, consisting of rice, peas, and the water to drink. Their food is boiled like “hoppinjohn,” put in buckets twice a day, at 10 and 4 o’clock, and placed in the midst of circles of eight or ten each, i and well guarded to prevent the strong ne- I groes from taking more than their share, ! although all are liberally allowed. A pint of water is given to each, morning and eve ning. Most of them sleep on deck, being placed in close order, spoon-fashion, on their sides, and not permitted to turn or move during the night. At daylight they are dashed with buckets of water to wash them off. They sing songs, clapping their hands and rocking their bodies in time, and these songs have a great resemblence to some of our negro spirituals. Several of the negro fellows exercise authority very much after the manner of our drivers, with airs of authority and x-idiculous gesticula- ! tions and grimaces* Others were cooking the “big pot” like good fellows, and with old breeches on too, obtained from the sail- ! ors. The captain of the hold understands i their lingo, and says they are very averse to going back to Afrtca, as the United States’ law requires. Our coast resembles that they come from, and the group of pines opposite the city on the south, looks to them like cocoanut trees of their native Africa. California Democracy. The San Francisco Herald, speaking of the convention about to assemble at Sacra mento, says: The results of the elections held thus far in the various counties show that the Ad ministration wing, so called, is already so far in the majority that even if ail the coun ties yet to be heard from were to send “Douglas Democrats,” as they are termed, to the Convention, they would still be in the minority, and it is by no means probable that they will all send ‘Douglas Democrats” and no other to the State Convention. The Administration claim 114 members, whose right to seats is uncontested, while the “Douglas Democrats” show only forty mem bers in like standing. There are, beside, eighty-five members whose seats are con tested, and who may or may not advocate the defunct Anti-Lecompton policy, but it is by no means probable that they will all be of that mind, while it is altogether likely that a majority of them will be of the op posite policy. Disaffection in the ranks of the party ean only result in the most humiliating defeat, j in which eveut it will be of but little prac- j tical consequence to the party what pecu- j liar stripe of policy its members advocate, j United, the Democracy present an invinci- i ble host that must scatter their opponents ; like chaff; but, broken and separated, they will be ground to powder. Should such a ; result be witnessed, on whose shoulders : will the responsibility properly rest ? Will ; it not be on those of the men who insist, in ; the lace of the clearest truth, on making a I living, national issue of the Kansas ques- j tion ? Let the party bury this issue in ! California, as it has been laid to rest in all other portions of the Union, and work bar- j moniously together to insure a triumphant j victory ; then, after that is accomplished, let them squabble among themselves, and J argue the question to their heart’s content, j But now, our Democratic faggot must be j kept bound together ; it will not do to sepa rate the staves of which it is composed. The Democratic State Convention met on the 4th inst., but we have no news of the action of that body. The Convention was : full, every county in the State being repre sented. A small number of anti-Adminis i tration and Douglas men were present, un- I der the lead of Senator Broderick, and at~ | tempted to organize at another place. The J result of their deliberations are not at hand, I but we fancy their action will araouut to but I little. Illinois Democracy. Who desires that the Nauonal Democrat j ic party shall sacrifice all their prejudices— | shall back down from their position—shall ! make all the concession? Either we are in the right and occupy high Democratic ground, or else Mr. Buch- I anan, the Cabinet and the Democracy of the State do not. If we are right Mr. Douglas is wrong, and is a bolter from De mocracy, and if a bolter, he must be taught that the Democratic party never yet conde scended to lick the hand that struck it. If there is a sincere desire on the part ol Mr. i Douglas for harmony in the Democratic ranks, let him withdraw and bide his time. Let him give place to some Democrat whom we can trust, and whose re-election will not be an insult to the President, as Mr.Douglas’ would be. We, as a National Democrat, do not seek to divide and distract the Dem ocratic party, but we claim that one hour’s adherence to principle is werth a whole lifetime of devotion to men. Mr. Douglas has deserted the Democratic party, by stri king hands with its foes and warring upon its principles. We say he is not trustwor thy. Let him go to the Black Republicans, let him stand side by side with them as he did last winter in Congress and we will unitewith you on any true, man whose ambi tion will not run away with his judgment. Don't ask us to give up everything, and to hug the viper to our bosom to be stung the second time. It is asking too much. If a union is to be effected, the concession of the Douglasites must equal ours, and we are willing then to admit them to a full communion. —lllinois State Democrat. A Feud between Tennesseans and North Carolinians. Since the year 1855, a feud has existed be tween the North Caroliansand Tennesseans living near the State line, running through Polk county, Tennessee. It has been.ag gravated occasionally and kept alive by members of the two” parties being badly beaten by their opponents, and the 31st rtf Jillv loc* ’no Ojjrrta/l f*n fnr a battle. A letter from the Tennessee Sher iff, says : The day arrived. Thirty men of the Tennessee side made their appearance at the place appointed, armed with rifles, mus kets, pistols, bowie knives and clubs. ,Nighl came and still not a Carolinian was to be seen, only a spy or two at a distance.— The Tennessee _.boys got impatient, and unlawfully slipped over the line, found one of the men they wanted, took F him out of bed and they started with him for Tennes see; some of his friends rushed to the res cue, and a general battle took place. No one was killed, but one had his thumb shot off, another shot in the hand, another woun ded in the head, whilst several were badly hurt by sticks and rocks. The excitement among the people be came furious—the North Carolinians or- j ganized a company to invade the Tennes- j see frontiers, and Monday night, the 2d of | August, was set apart for the attack.— About twenty-five Tennesseeans (in self- j defence) assembled to receive them. The Deputy Sheriff, getting notice of the j anticipated fray, with a sufficient number of men prepared to arrest the hostile pro ceedings. Night came on; occasionally spies were seen lurking around, at whom the Tennesseans would fire their rifles. About 2 o’clock, while most of the Sher- I iff’s company were sleeping in a house, an 1 I alarm was raised by sentinels outside, who j fired their guns, and the enemy who were ! advancing, wheeled and fled. No arrests were made. There is a bitter feeling, and some fatal consequences will j yet ensue, unless the strong arm of the law succeeds in arresting the affair. Arrest of Fugitive Slaves. Cincinnati, Aug. 27.. Two fugitive slave®, belonging to Robert W. Ingraham, who escaped from Kentucky in March, were arrested last night and ta ken before Commissioner Newhail, who remanded them to their master, whereup jon they were taken to Covington.

The demand for this unrivalled preparation tor the hair and skin in is beyond the possibility of a doubt, and its sale is greater than any other Hair Restorative that has ever been before the public. Tens of thousands of were bald and gray, and others whose faces were covered with unsightly blotches and pimples, are now, with their glossy hair, and with faces comely and fair to look upon, seen daily promenading the streets of all the principal cities of the Union, and by their influence spreading the fame of Wood’s Hair Restorative thoughout the ’civilized world. But the trial of one bottle is more convincing than all we could say in a whole Newspaper column. It does not dye but igive3 life, health and beau ty to the decaying, falling and “dead, restoring as if by masic, that which was supposed to be irrev ; ocably lost. Heads nearly bald and others near ly white, are daily being changedto their pristine beauty, and faces covered with pimples are ren dered as smooth as an infants’ and blushing as a j rose —all by the use of Prof. Wood’s Hair Re i storative. —St. Louis Commercial List.
