THE DAILY TIMES.
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 9.
The Cable Banquet in New York.
Our New York Exchanges bring us elaborate
accounts of the ceremonies observed at the festival
n that city, in commemoration ol the Atlantic
Telegraph. They are too long for reproduc
tion in our columns, but the speeches delivered
on the occasion are well worthy of perusal. That
especially of Lord Napier,'the British Minister, in
response to the following toast: “The Govern
ment and People of Great Britain and Ireland
joined to us in the Court of Neptune, may the
nuptials never be put asunder,” is an eloquent and
appropriate oflfeting. tiis Lordship referred with
satisfaction to the fact that his ministerial term was
coteinporaneous with the success of this sublime
achievement. Admitiog without discussing the use
fulness of euch a communication to the interests
of trade and commerce and matters of personal
feeling and private affection, he contented himself
with a referenceto its great value in international
transactions. Upon this subject, he says:
‘Something may he detracted from the func
,lollß of diplomacy, but much will undoubtedly be
gained for thepeace of nations. By ibis mean? |
the highest intelligence and authority on either
side will be brought into immediate contact, and
whatever errors belong to the employment of su i
bordinate and delegated agencies may be prevented
or promptly corrected..By this meansmany cl the
evils incidental to uncertainty and delay may be
cancelled, offences may be instantly disavowed,
omissions may be remedied, misapprehensions may
be explained, and in matters of unavoidable con
troversy we may be spared the exasperating effects
of discussion proceeding on an imperfect knowl
edge of facts and motives. In addition to tlieie
specific safeguards it may be hoped that the mere
habit of rapid and intimate intercourse will greatly
conduce to the prevention of a good understand
ing. On the one hand stands England, the most
opulent and vigorous of monarchies, in whose
scant but incomparable soil Jie compacted the
materials of a boundless industry; on the ether,
the Republic of the United States, founded by the
same race, tired by the same ambition, whose in
crease defies comparison, and whose destinies will
baffle prediction itself. [Cheers,] We cannot
doubt that those fraternal communities are fated to
enjoy an immense expansion of mutual life, the
instant interchange of opinion, intelligence and
commodities will become a condition almost in
separable from existence ; and whatever stimu
lates this developement will oppose a powerful
obstacle to the rupture of pacific relations.”
tMr. Cyrus W. Field, in response to a toast com
mendatory of his personal sacrifices and perse
verance in conducting the work to its triumphant
consummation, acknowledged the indebtedness
of himself andthe world to th-s unflagging sympa
thy and unwearied co-operation of others who
assisted him in the origination and perfection of
his plans. Speeches were also made by Ex-Gov
ernor Piice of New Jersey, Captain Dayman,
Gov. King of New York, and others, among
whom we are pleased to notice, JJon. John E.
Ward, of Savannah. The Southerner is prover
bial tor his devotion to the “sex,” and for this
reason, we presume, the eloquent Georgian was
selected to make a response to ihe toast: “Wo
man—At whose feet we lay all our triumphs;
to her we owe the happiness of life and the con
solations of home. God bless her!” The theme
and the speech were worthy ol the orator and the
occasion. At a late hour the congratulations and
rejoicings ceased. We shall now await with
some degree of impatience nn opportunity to
taste the practical fruit of the Cable.
Destruction of the New York Quaran
tine Buildings.
We made some allusion to the great destruc
tion of the Quarantine buildings at New York in
our last issue. We copied in tiiat impression of
the “Times” a letter Bom Mr. Scheli, Collector
of New York, to Mr . Cobb asking that a de
tachineniof U. S. Marines be brought into re
quisition to save the Government property at
Quarantine from the relentless fury of the mob.
The origiu of the plot is thus spoken of:
The plot to destroy the quarantine buildings
was matured about a week ago. A meeting of
the citizens of Castleton and Richmond county
, ae held at Castleton, when it was deteimined to
‘*- the buildings on the first of September A box
“patches and'a ball of lampwick formed the
materials of war. With these eombutibles
‘ffeconspirators marched to the quarantine premi
ses, scaled the walls, entered the hospitals, carried
out the sick, and immediately afterwards the work
of destruction had commenced. Scaling ladders
were used in getting over the wall, but in making
their exit from the grounds, they escaped through
the breaches which had been made in the walls
by the firemen on the outside.
In all thirty-two buildings were destroyed—
The quarantine grounds are said to wear the
most woe begone appearance. Not a house be
longing to the quarantine authorities has been left
standing, and everywhere the hand of the de
stroyer is visible.
Southern Party.— We have received a pam
phlet containing the ‘‘Platform of the Great
Southern Party.” Its object is to make a pjacea
and honorable separation ol the Confederacy, It
is drafted after the consultation of “democrats,
whigs and Americans” and comes to u3 with no
marks by which we can recognize its paternity.—
It says, the General assembly of the Southern
States shall convene at Columbia, S. C.,
Mr. C Hatfield's Letter.— We give place, to
the exclusion of othor matter, to a letter from Mr.
G. W. Chatfield, of Auburn, Ala ,to Col. W. F. j

It is addressed to Hon. YV. F. Samford, as he oc

New Yore, Sept. 7. — Gov. King, of this State, j
has issued his proclamation declaring Richmond
county in a state of insurrection. In order to pro

military force of sufficient strength be stationed I
at Quarantine until the people return to their du
ties and obligations.

Dear Samford—We having been for
many years engaged hand in hand in sup
port of the great and tirne-honored princi
ples of the Democratic party, I propose to
talk with vou, as of yore, upon some mat- j
ters that, I suppose you, as well as myself, j
aro not indifferent to. No one, who has
carefully noticed the tone of the Democra- ‘
tic press, in the various sections of the i
country, can have failed to discover a dis
cordancy not at all favorable to the hope
of harmonious action in the contests which
are so soon to come.
There is, it seems to me, too much im
portance attached to side issues, and too
little attention given to the great and dis
tinguishing principles of true Democracy.
The prominence given to these side issues,
and incidental questions, on which ortho
dox Democrats may differ, leads to wrang
ling and strife, and to dissensions fatal to
our great cause, and furnishes capital for
our enemies with which to do us injury.—
Is there any common ground upon which
we all, as Democrats, can constantly
stand? If an humble, but unfaltering sup
porter of true democracy, may be permitted
to answer, I would say yes. The Buchan
an Admmistrati n is, in the main, sound
and orthodox; and, if tried by the strictest
j tests of sound democracy, will be found to
be in direct conformity with the well estab
; lished principles of the party. And hard
| will be the task of him, who undertakes to
i convict that administration of any material
departure from the ancient and well defin
i ed landmarks of genuine democracy.—
Here, then, is common ground—here is a
! stand point; and, occupying this position,
in harmony, firm concord and solid phal
anx, we may bid defiance to opposition, let
it come from false friend, open enemy, or
both combined.
The Administration is sound, patriotic
and constitutional; it is the open and avow
ed supporter of those great strict construc
tion, democratic principles, which have
| borne our country aloft to its present high
; and glorious position, the wonder of an ad
| miring world. To say nothing here ofless
j important principles, is a Constitutional
i Union, upon the principle ol State equality
a cardinal doctrine of the democratic par
ity? The Buchanan administration stands
to that. Is the position that new States—
: (in framing their constitutions preparatory
to admission into the Union) have the right
’ to regulate their domestic institutions to
| suit themselves, democratic? The Buc
hanan Administration savs the proposition
is correct. Is the position, that anew
State, seeking admission into the Union,
with a constitution recognizing slavery, is
entitled to admission, a democratic posi
tion? The Administration endorses that,
position as correct* These are the great
principles that underlie the doctrines of
Southern Rights—of State Rights—of
| Constitutional Rights, and indeed of popu
lar freedom. And 1 confess, that l have
! been, more than twenty years, an actor
with the Democratic party, without un
derstanding its principles, if Mr. Buekan
j aids Administration is not, so far, in eonso
nance'with the true democratic faith.
Here, then,l repeat, is safe ground, up*
|on which all of us, as democrats, may
stand—administration democrats. Here
are our principles, time-honored principles,
: and by the National Democracy (for true
i democracy is a unit and necessarily na
tional) an Administration lias been placed
in power that reflects these principles and
glories in them. The true democratic
banner is unfurled in support ami defence
of these principles, and here is the touch
j stone, this the Shibboleth by which to test
j democratic orthodoxy.
Questions may arise at the South or at
the North, local in their nature and effects,
| and differences may exist in the opinions
| of true democrats, as to their expediency
j or right, but if they do not involve the great
I principles, upon which our political distinc*
i tion rests, they should not disturb the har
! mony of the party, nor be made the cause
of disaffection towards any.
You,for instance, may contend for the
policy of re-opening the African slave trade.
1 am opposed to that policy; are you,there
fore, a better or truer democrat than I? or
: am Ito regard you as a deserter lrom the
! democratic ranks because you approve
I that policy? Certainly not. You are a
1 Southern Leaguer, 1 am not; but because
1 we differ as to the expediency of that move
ment, is either of us, therefore, not a demo
crat? Is our friend Col. Yancey, because
of his ardent devotion to the peculiar inter
ests of the South, and because he watches
those interests!with a Calhoun vigilance and
ability, less a true democrat than you or I?
Or our friend Hilliard, because of his high
appreciation of the Union, and his conserv
atism, is he less loyal to the South or to the
democratic principles than we are? Why
should democrats wrangle about the
soundness or unsoundness of Mr. Douglas’
democracy? That is not a question lor us
to quarrel about. Loose sight of the man,
and look at principles. If he is not a sup
porter of the aforenamed fundamental
principles, he is not with us, and “he that
is not for us is against us.” Mr. Buchan
an’s administration, we say, so far as de* I
veloped by avowed principles or overt acts,
is soundly democrotie and worthy cf all
acceptation, lie that supports it is on our !
side. He that repudiates it for these prin* ;
ciples repudiates the democratic party.
But there is that Kansas Conference Bill -
affair; what are we to do with that? Are j
not some of the democratic presses defend- j
ing, and some denouncing that measure 7
Y es, it is even so. But whether you and 1
approve or disapprove it, is not the ques
tion to try our soundness, as democrats, by.
An advocate and a Southern opposer of
the Conference Bill, may be sound and
consistent, though we may differ as to the
propriety of the measure. The position
of the Administration, and of the support
ers thereof in this matter,is what we should
enquire into. Mr. Buchanan recommend
ed the admission of Kansas with the Le
compton constitution, and was the
friend of the Senate bill, as long as there
was any vitality in it. That was right we
say. No departure from democratic laith
there. YY r eii, who opposed and who sup
ported the Senate bill? The whole Black
Republican force in the Senate, with all
their bitter hatred of the President, and
aided by Douglas and Bel! and Crittenden,
opposed if, and the whole Democratic ad
ministration force in the Senate, supported
it. And here note, that the Senate bill was
passed by the supporters of the Adminis
tration alone. Every vote given for the
measure, from either the North or the
South, was a democratic vote. And note
again, the Senate bill was acceptable to the
South, it was acceptable io Mr. Buchanan,
it was acceptable to the democratic party,
and it was in accordance with the avowed
principles of democracy. Then the friends
of the Buchanan administration quoad hoc,
are the true democracy.
But the Conference bill, how about that?
We!!, we preferred the Senate bill became
it was right in principle, but if our Senators
and Representatives in Congress, after a
fruitless struggle to get that bill through the
House, accepted the Conference biil, as
j the best they could do under the circum
stances, surely we should not fall out with
the administration because its friends could
noldo what it recommended, and did what
they honestly thought, no doubt, was best
in the premises. And it is worthy ol re
mark. that the Black-republicans with Dou
glas, Bell and Crittenden, opposed the Con
ference bill, with the same obstinate resis
tance, that they opposed the Senate bill.
; But another question arises here—what
! is to lie done with our members to Congress
who voted for the Conference bill ? In an
swering this question let us taken brief sur
vey of the circumstances attending its pas
sage. A committee of the Senate reported
a bill for the admission of the State of Kan
| as with the Lecompton constitution, and
| the Senate passed the bill, substantially, as
! reported by the committee. Tito Senate
J bill was sent to the House of Representa-
I tives where it was so altered and its fea
i tures so marred, that the Senate refused
to recede. Now if the matter had stopped
there ; if legislation on the subject had ceas
ed at that stage of the ease, Kansas would
have been left right where she now is, out
of the union, as a State. But here committee
tees of conference appointed by both hou
ses of Congress, and the measure known as
the Conference bill was agreed on in com
mittee a; and reported to the respective hou
ses, and by both adopted. The prominent,
and essential features of this bill were, that
Kansas should bo admitted wi'ii the Le
compton constitution provided = lie people of
Kansas would, by a popular vote, sanction
certain and imperial!’ changes, in the ordi
nance of the Kansas Convention in regard
to the public lands in the State This pop
ular expression of sentiment was had, as
was provided, and the people o! Kansas re
jected the terms of admission. Am 1 now
note: Kansas was lefr, by that act of her
people, just where she was left by the re
jection of the Senate bill, by the House—
out of the Union, as a State. The whole
state ofllie case clearly establishes these
facts—lst. That unless the House of Rep
resentalives had assented to the Senate bill,
Kansas could not have been admitted, had
nothing more been done. l . nd. By the Con
ference hill, which both houses accepted,
there was a recognition of the right of a
State to admission with a slavery constitu
tion, and a chance of Kansas being admit
ted ; whereas, without the Conference bill,
there was no chance lor the Lecompton
Kansas to come into the Union. Then up
on the logical calculation of chances, there
was one chance for admission under the
| Conference bill, and no chance without it.
Then what becomes of all this parade which
we have about the infidelity of our con
gressmen to the interest of the South. We
hear a great, deal about the sacrifice of the
rights of the South, and the treason oflhose
’ democrats supported the Conference bill,
j but when wo came to investigate, and
i calmly consider the charge, and specifics-
I tions, there is not the semblance of justice
,in the accusation. And shall we be driven,
by the croakings of our adversaries, into an
tagonism to our own friends and princi
ples ? Shall we reward the earnest and
patriotic services of our public servants
with censure, and proscription because they
did in this Kansas matter the best they
could under all the circumstances ? Did
democrats ever do any thing that pleased
I our adversaries? And shall we shrink
| from the vindication of our friends, because
| our enemies condemn them ? There is one
! humble individual, at least, who will not.
Suppose the case to have been in this
I Kansas Conference bill affair as it onceap
: peared it would be, that the disagreement
j of the two houses ol Congress hail left the
! Senate bill to die, and entombed in the half
way ground to success, what ought we to
have done ? Resist —Resist what? Here
are an administration that recommends, and
a decided majority of Senator’s that sup
port the very policy that we approve, with
a large portion of the Representatives stri
• ving for months, with might and main, to
consummate the good work so uobly be
gun : but by the enmity of many and the
| disaffection of a few, the favorite measure
! was defeated ; and tore ist, that is, to array
! the South in opposition to the government,
would be to oppose a force, that was oxer
; ting its constitutional functions to aecom
| plisli that which wo desired. This would
be preposterous. We hear much of the
sacrifice of the rights of the South by this
j Conference bill —well, let us see. The
South asserts the principle that a State may
be admitted with a proslavery constitution.
! The Conference bill recognizesthe right. The
South says Kansas had a right to come into
1 the Union with the Lecompton constitution. :
The Conference bill admitted the right. —
j But why was not Kansas admitted ? lies I
! cause the people of Kansas refused to ac* j
; cept terms which the Congress of the Uni- 1
i ted States, (as the guardians of the inter- j
| ests of the States, ip the public lands) j
I thought proper to impose. Then no wrong :
! was done to any party. And to impeach
j the honesty and patriotism, the soundness
; and reliability, of our congressmen is, to
! the say least ol’if, captious and un just. And
! who, in all the land, can doubt the sound
ness of such men as Toombs and Iverson,
of Brown and Davis, of Clay and Fitzpat
rick ? Are Dowdell, Moore, Curry, and
the rest of our Alabama representatives
traitors, and unworthy of the further con*
fidence of their constituents? Such an
imputation would meet, as it would deserve, j
a withering, blasting rebuke from the denis
ocracy of Alabama and the South, and the
nation. And to say that the South has
been swindled, by the action of her con
gressmen is to charge them, either with
deliberate corruption, or with a want of
common sagacity to perceive the wrong.-
It comes, in plain language to a charge of
corruption or of ignorance, against our best,
and ablest men. These things ought not so
to be. Then let all true unselfish demo
crats be done with such wrangling and
outside disputations, and rally to our stan
dard—the standard ot democracy. For the
cause of popular liberty—the cause of con
stitutional freedom, the cause of State rights
—the cause of the constitutional rights of
the South—the cause of our country’s pros*
peritv, and the cause of democracy are one,
and inseparable.

The Southern League.
We are not of those who think lightly of
this onishoot of Southern discontent ; nor j
do we hold that sneers aud revilings are
the true arguments of repression for its er
rors. We do not even go so far as to say
that it is an error, in fact or in principle, for
the men of the South to organize an ex
tended system of defensive counsels and
measures if they really believe the demon
of “aggressive sectionalism” is to reign at j
the North. On the contrary, we hold that
an early and thorough discussion of State- J
rigiits, and a complete assertion of their
due and legitimate supremacy, in every
State and Territory in the Union, is the
only way to preserve the Union.
it must be made cleariy evident to the
commercial and manufacturing States of
the North that a disruption of the confed- t
erationand the ruin of all their peculiar in
terests will positively and immediately fol
low a deliberate violation ot the terms of
copartnership; and then, if never before,
the ship and factory builders will recede
from their assaults on the reserved rights of
i the South. When Boston and New York
! are convinced that the grass would grow in
their streets if they persist in forrii.g the
agricultural South and West to carry their
products to lbreign markw from their own
most direct ports, the New York and Bos
ton press will hasten thoir return to the
original principles of the compact of the
Union.
The misfortune of the South has been
that her political leaders have preferred the
| petty expedients of the hour and their own
i personal aspirations to the broad principles
j and far-reaching policy which alone could
i preserve the relative weight and statues of
| the slave-holding States in ihe equilibrium
of the Union. They stubbornly threw
; away, in 1850, the fullest opportunity to
; make Central America an invincible rear
| guard of Southern interests, and it is much
j to be feared (hat they will manage to sacri
j fice Cuba to Europe and the negroes the
| coming winter. Such men never travel
beyond tiie limits of Buncombe, and in
their best estates are little better than noisy
mischief makers. Such men m*ver origi
nate great national measures; never unite
their names on the policy of the State. The
best that can he said of them is, that they
have their occasional uses in keeping astir
the healthy waters of discussion.
‘J’iie South deals too much in grand con
stitutional abstractions, which taper down
i to less than nothing when brought to the
j touch-stone of common sense application ;
j and the organization and discussion of the
Southern League may bring her to a better
knowledge ot the action and measure re
quisite to her firm and equal position in the
Union. This high and equal status can
not bo abated without endangering the
Union; for the extreme preponderance of
anyone sec:ion would, in the nature of
man and nations, lead to tyranny,and tyran
ny would compel disruption. Prevention
• is better than cure; and we regard the
! Southern League as a counter-irritant of
| the most sanitive character. It will bring
| the bad humors to the surface, where the
! healing prescription of State-rights can find
them and effectually cure the Union of
this debilitating sectional fever. Fiat T/ux
