The northern Interpretation.
In an article of ours last week, we exposed the
shallow devices of the Democratic party in their
endeavors to evade the true issue of “squatter sove
reignty’ ; and the mode and manner of their argu
ments—not daring to touch the great principle in
volved, viz: the questionot the existence or non
existence of slavery in a Territory by Territorial
legislation.
lhe position of the Southern Democracy to
which we intend to call the readers attention, is as
v u.nerablc as their endorsement of squatter sove
reignty. The American party of Georgia is as
sailed as being inconsistent in its war against the
Kansas bill, when the legislature of Georgia in
1354 passed a resolution unanimously condemning
any persons or party w ho opposed the principles cf
the Kansas-Nebraska bill upon the subject of slave
ry. lhe people of the South unanimously, we
may say, thought that the provisions of that bill
were drafted and adopted in good f&itli by all those
who supported the repeal of the Missouri corniiro-
niise line. The South was honest in her vote, and
thought that her rights were finally and securely
settled, fanaticism rebuked, and that peace and
quiet would once more bless the land But, alas,
tot the troubled and abused South! Those whom
she looked upon at the North and North-West as
true patriots, conservative and Union loving men,
proved themselves to be tricksters, national schem
ers and national demagogues. In the 14th section
ol the Kansas bill we find the following, which the
South looked upon as the establishment of a c
rect principle, and which induced the Georgia le
gislature to pass the resolution that she did. We
quote.
“It being the true intent and meaning of tlii
act not to legislate slavery into any Territory or
State, nor to exclude it therefrom, but to leave the
people thereof perfectly free to form and regulate
their domestic institutions in their own way, snb
ject only to the Constitution of the United States.”
Now, according to Southern reading and South
ern interpretation, no squatter sovereignty is in
tiiat clause. But Northern Democracy reasons to
the contrary. Since the Kansas bill has been thor
oughly analyzed, behold, we see its Northern face ;
hid until a Democratic nominee lor the Presiden
cy should be placed before the country—hid until
the South should be thoroughly committed to it;
then the Northern interpretation of that bill should
be openly advocated at the North. Read Mr.
Douglas’ report, as Chairman of the Committee on
Territories, on the 30th June, 1356, in relation to
Kansas ;—squatter sovereignty openly embraced.
Read the discussion between Mr. Douglas and Mr.
Trumbull, both Senators from Illinois, in regard to
the meaning of the section above quoted, wherein
Mr. Tru nibul! introduces the following amendment
to the Kansas bill:
In these times of trial,—times that arc severing
the cords that have bound us these many years in
party affiliation with old friends, it is gratifying to
receive such letters as the following. The opin
ion advanced in reference to the present poliiical
aspect of Alabama, is the more entitled to respect,
as the writer is not a politician and has no private
ends to accomplish in the expression of his opin
ion. He is one of the people, who thinks and acts
for himse'f, and w e hope for the good of the coun
try, there are many more like him.
And be. it further enacted. That the provision in
the “act to organize the Territories of Nebraska
and Kansas,” which declares it to be “the true in
tent and meaning” of said act “not to legislate
slavery into any Territory or State, nor to exclude it
therefrom, but to leave the people thereof perfectly
lrce to form and regulate their domestic institu
tions in their own way, subject only to the Consti
tution of the United States,” was intended to, and
does confer upon, or leave to, the people of the
Territory cf Kansas, full power at any time, through
its Territorial Legislature, to exclude slavery from
said Territory, or to recognize and regulate it there
in.—[App. Con. Globe, p. 796.]
The amendment, as natural, brought Mr. Doug
las out, and he freely admitted such was the mean
ing and intention of the bill. Would any sane
man in Georgia, to say nothing of the Georgia legis
lature, have endorsed the bill if such sentiments
had been uttered by Air. Douglas in 1854 as h<as
been done in 1856, and seconded by the Northern
Democracy. Never. We would have seen Mr.
Douglas and his bill kicked into the Potomac be
fore we would have supported it under any such
interpretation. We wonder if Mr. Cobb, in his
pilgrimage to the North-West, can convince tlie
people of that section that Air. Douglas did not
know what lie was doing when he drafted the Kan
sas bill; and, furthermore, if he will preach against
squatter sovereignty, and give the Southern con
struction to Air. Buchanan’s letter of acceptance.
The point we make upon the Democracy is, their
support of Air. Buchanan, with his Sanford letter
of 1348, where he claims the exclusive and sove
reign power of Congress over the subject of slave
ry in the Territories. Such was the idea of Mr. B
in J'48, of the poucr of Congress under the Consti
tution ; such his ideas of the Constitution. Now
what signifies it to Air. B., with the clause in the
Kansas bill, ‘‘subject only to the Constitution of the
United States," with his opinions of the power of
Congress. The Constitution, like the Kansas bill,
has a Northern look to him; he recognizes the
right of Congress to transfer its power to a Terri
torial legislature. Is such’a mail safe to the South
when he is honest and settled in his convictions ?
H is honesty but makes him the more dangerous,
for he is heretical and unsound in his views of the
power of Congress and his interpretation of the
Cons itutiou of the United States. The clause,
then, as inserted by Air. Douglas,—as interpreted
by Mr. Buchanan, “subject only to the Constitution of
the United States,” simply means, the private opin
ion any man may have of the power of Congress,
and his own interpretation of the Constitution o
the United States.
How He Talks.
Below, the reader will find where Air. Breckin.
ridge stands upon the question of squatter sove
reignty ; he is as decided a “squatter” as his friend
Mr. Buchanan, and takes the subject by the horn
showing more nerve than any of his supporters in
Georgia are willing to display. lie comes up
boldly to the point and argues the right of a Terri
tory to decide the question of the existence or non
existence of slavery. With such views, Georgia ought
to repudiate the nominee of the Democracy for tlie
Vice Presidency. Such talk from the Vice Presi
dent in expectation must have tickled John Van
Buren who was present, under the fifth rib, and
caused old Alartin A'an, the arch freesoiler, to
chuckle with delight when he read it to think, that
tlie nominees for the Presidency and Vice Presiden
cy were thoroughly committed to the great freesoil
principle of popular soecreignty. Read what he
said :

Greenville, Ala., Sept. 12,1356. j
Messrs. Editors—Enclosed is my subscription for
the Recorder for this year, making twenty years
since I first subscribed for your paper, and if ir
continues to be as ably edited as heretofore, you
may put me down a life subscriber. Your course
as Editors have met my entire approbation ever
since I have been reading your paper.
I presume you have never been in this part of
Alabama; let me say a word or two about this
country. Butler, agreeably to my humble judg
ment, is an excellent section—as good water and
healthy as any part of the State, and as great a vari
ety of soil. It is a pretty fair fruit and grain country,
but our red lands are not well adapted to the growth
of cotton ; but we can coqie as near raising al!
the necessaries cf life as in any country I know of.
lhe sugar eaue prospers and matures as well here
as it does in Decatur county, Ga., (where I moved
from.) The people are appreciating their advan
tages with the addition of the facilities to market,
when the Railroad from Alunfgomery to Pensacola
is completed to Greenville, (which is advancing
rapidly to completion) as evinced by the great
amount of emigration to tliis county from middle
Georgia and the eastern counties of this State for
the last two seasons. The present indications are
that emigration into this county will be no less the
ensuing season, but whoever moves here this fall,
may expect to pay high for their provisions, as
generally, short crops have been made here this
season. But for the amount of old corn on hand,
corn would be obliged to range over §1 00 per
bushel the next year, and my impression is, that
there is not more than half a crop of cotton being
madi in any portion of this country.
In these times of political excitement, you, of
course, will, while I am writing, expect me to say
something about politics, and I hardly know what
to say, only that I hope this old sinful Democratic
Alabama will this November give her Electoral
vote to Fillmore and Donelson,and I think I have
ood grounds to hope so. Jerry Clemens is in North
Alabama, doing wonderful work in opening the
eyes of the blind and healing a good many infirm
minded persons; Hilliard is working wonders in
Eastern and Aiiudle Alabama, and Watts, Belser,
and others, are carrying the work bravely on in
South Alabama; but the anties are making a death
struggle every where. Tell the people of my na
tive Georgia to fight valiantly and not give up the
ship; our cause is a good one, and we have reason
to be proud of our captain.
For the Recorder.
In intelligent Catholic Foreigner, on ear
IKaCjmlizatiou Laws.
Something over two years ago, an intelligent
Frenchman of New Orleans—Mr. Delery, a native
of France—published a “tract,” touching our Nat
uralization Laws, and the process and fraudulent
purposes of applying, (or, rather, using) them, in
that city. This “tract” met the approbation ot that
great Catholic reviewer—Mr. Orestes A. Brown-
son—theref re, it may be quoted from, with little
danger of our being charged, by the Democracy,
with having brought “ei Know Nothing, in disguise,’’
We proceed to quote. Air. Dele-
Crcckini tdge, Cen. Cass and John Tan
Buren in the Field.
Among the speakers at the Democratic Conven
tion, held at the Tippecanoe Battle Ground on
Wednesday last, were Air. Breckinridge, the
Democratic candidate for the Vice Presidency,
Gen. Cass and John Van Buren. In an abstract
of Mr. Breckinridge’s speech, as published in the
Louisville Courier, the following passage ocems :
“The speaker had heard it charged that the fif
teen slave States were conspiring to obtain entire
possession of the General Government, with a view
of bringing its powers to bear to extend and per
petuate their “peculiar institution.” Gentlemen,
there has been no such attempt. I am connected
with no party that has for its object the extension
of slavery, nor with any to prevent the people of a
fcjtate or Territory from deciding tlie question of its
existence or non-existence with them for them
selves.
“The speaker continued. I happened to be in
jngress when the Nebraska bill passed, and g.ave
my voice and my vote, and because it did what it
id, viz: It acknowledged the light of the people
Con,
it
did, V
of the Territory to settle the question for them
tbercvcs and not because I supposed, what I do not
now believe, that it legislated slavery into the Ter
ritory. The Democratic party is not a pro-slavery
party—it is neither Pro-slaverv nor Anti-slavery.’
Mr. Breckinridge here declares that he is con
nected with no party that desires to prevent the
people of a State or Territory from deciding for
themselves whether slavery shall, or shall not, be
introduced into tlie Territory, and that he voted for
the Kansas-Nebraska bill because it acknowledged
the right of the people of the Territory to settle the
question of the admission or prohibition of slavery
for themselves. That’s squutter sovereignty!
Withdrawal of Public Lands in Florida —
The Government has withdrawn from location or
sale by the office at Newnansville, all the lauds situa
ted south ot the body of lauds heretofore withdrawn
for the Cedar Key Branch Railroad; west of the
liue which divides ranges twenty-four and twenty-
five;' and north of the line dividing townships nine
teen and twenty. -
Office at Tampa ; All the lands situated west of
the line dividing ranges twenty-four and twenty-
five, and north of the line which divides townships

Extract of a letter, dated Alontgomery county,
Ga. September 14th, 1856.
Messrs. Editors: * * * Alontgomery is almost
unanimous for Fillmore. lam young, and shall
ever feel glad to say that Fillmore was the first man
whom I supported for President of the United
States. A man who has been “weighed in the bal
ances’’ and not “found wanting.” If he be defeat
ed through foreign influence, then let Americans
“hang tlicir harps upon the willows.” IIow shall
they sing one of tlie songs of America to a strange
people ? If America forget herself, let her right
hand forget her cunning. Let her tongue cleave
to the roof of her mouth if she prefer not America
above her chief joy.
Why did the Democracy wish to remove Tierce
from Office? AA’as it because his administration
had fallen, and hardly a man could be found in
Georgia who would endorse his administration iu
the canvass of 1856 ? Will not a temple, built from
the same material, fall equally as soon ? Or, was it
because he wasted the public money? Would it
be prudent to drive out the swarm of flies which
are already sufficiently gorged and admit another
still more hungry swarm which would rob the
poor fox cf the last remaining drop of blood in his
veins ?
[The above questions asked us by our corres
pondent, we submit to the people to answer.—Eds.

Interesting to Old Line Whigs. .
The subjoined very interesting letter, is taken
from the New Orleans Crescent, of the 8th inst. Let
every Old Line Whig, who has not already pub
licly mustered himself beneath the Fillmore ban
ner, read this sensible and patriotic letter ; let him
not give it a mere passing, cursory perusal, but let
him ponder well the weighty importance of the
facts therein so plainly and honestly set forth ; and
then let him come out, boldly and energetically, in
a manly espousal of the great, conservative cause
of Fillmore and the Union If the Old Line Whigs
of Georgia will only act as is suggested by the en
lightened, far-seeing correspondent of the Crescent,
there can be no just ground upon which to rest a
fear, that Fillmore and Donelson will not carry
this State, in November next, by at least a very
handsome majority :—
Chicago August 25, 1855.
Editors Crescent: In accordance with niv prom
ise I purpose penning you a few lines, hut can
hardly venture a reliable opinion of the state of
political affairs either in Missouri or Illinois. To
use a homely phrase,tilings, politically, are “mighti
ly mixed” and it would puzzle the most acute politi
cian to determine how either of these States will
vote' on the Presidential question next November.
The fusion of the Benton and anti-Benton Demo
crats in Missouri will give the State to Buchanan
if they faithfully adhere to the compact. This,
however, is extremely doubtful, for although the
partisans will “stick,” the conservatives of bo
sides are likely to go for Fillmore ; at least such
the confident calculation of the Fillmore men, wl
are sanguine of carrying the electoral vote for their
favorite. All seems to depend upon the conservative
men, and in the present aspect of affairs, I should
consider Missouri as very doubtful, and as likely
to go for Buchanan as Fillmore. Illinois is for
Fremont “out and out.” In this city, Buchanan
will probably get fifteen hundred majority, but out
of the city it seems all one way. As for Fillmore he
is not thought of. There is one fact which has been
very gratifying to my feelings as an old Democrat
—I find there is no ill feeling towards Fillmore.—
I do not answer for political partisans; but for the
masses, it is a gratifying fact that they universal
ly speak in glowing terms of Fillmore, and
would be satisfied with his election. Democratic
stump speakers may attack his former administra
tion and his political principles with as much sever-
ty as they choose ; yet, depend upon it, their sen
timents do not meet with a response from their
auditors. This, Messrs. Editors, you mav depend
upon, is the almost universal feeling, as far as I
have been able to discover, with the conservative
Democrats, arid I have been as much surprised as
ileased to meet with such a large number “who
rave, heretofore, voted for noue but the Democrat
ic nominee, who will give their hearty influence
for the national candidate—Millard Fillmore.
With such patriotic feelings on the part of the
conservative Democrats in the West, you will not
be surprised when I affirm, as my conviction, that
their sole aim and object is to defeat Fremont.; and
they will be almost as well satisfied to see Fillmore
as Buchanan occupy the Presidential chair. With
proper and judicious tact and management, Fillmore
can le elected. If the old tine Whigs of the South are
desirous of Fillmore’s election, let them give in their
adhesion publicly. Every nurrement of this hind in
spires the Fillmore men North with confidence and
greatly aids the cause of Union As individuals, the
Whigs South go for him ; and I have often heard
them argue that it made no difference so long as
they voted for him. It does make a great difference.
Let them make public demonstrations all over the
South, and letall conservative Democrats who fa
vor Fillmore in the present crisis—who arc dispos
ed to forget party ties for the good of their country
and the Union—-join in the movement, and Fill
more will assuredly be triumphantly elected by the
people. This course and result will be as gratify
ing to two thirds of the Democratic party as it will
to the Americans and old line Whigs, and will re
store that confidence and good feeling between the
NorthandSouthwhiehthecause of the Republi
cans has done so much to destroy.

to testify for us.
ry says:
“ Here we cannot help speaking of that process
of naturalization, ad hoc, hastily made a few days
before the elections; and the evident purpose of
which, is to win the day for some selfish politicians.
Foreigners are enlisted and plh-J with proper doses
of cajolery; they are made to form an exaggerated
idea of the rights they are about to enjoy, and are
not pestered with any hints aboutthe duties of free
men and citizens; and thus marshalled and watch
ed over, like a gang of slaves, they are led to take
the solemn oath ot citizenship. * * *
“I will not insist on the careless manner in
which this business of naturalization is conducted;
but ask, what can the country gain by the self-
seeking manoeuvres, which are less calculated to
give new citizens to the State, than to strengthen
tiic hands of faction hv an accession of new ac
complices. * * * * * * *
“ Even magistrates, obedient to their present in
terest, join in the plot against right and liberty, and
wield the authority with which they are clothed
against the law. They flatter those whom they
fear—they threaten those by whom they are feared.
The honest citizen is marked down as a black
sheep; the friend of justice is held up as an enemy
to the people; political integrity is a ground for
proscription; all praises are reserved for baseness
and fraud. In this miserable antagonism of paltry
interests, the cause of the country fades into the
back-ground, and the wretches who live at the ex
pense of its honor fill the scene
We will not attempt to make comment or re
mark, on the foregoing scathing extracts; know
ing full well that we are wholly incompetent to do
so, in a manner that would be satisfactory to the
“pure and unadulterated Democracy.” Air. Brown-
son is widely and favorably known among the lead
ing Democrats of America as an able and zealous
defender and supporter of Catholicism, and as a
bold and vigorous opponent of the American par
ty. We will, therefore, make a few quotations
from that gentleman’s elaborate review of Air. Del-
erys “tract,” believing that no true Democrat could
find it in his heart to doubt, for one moment, the
veracity, patriotism or judgment, of so learned aud
so good a Catholic as Air. Brbwnson enjoys the
reputation of being. Iu liis Review—see number
for July, 1354—the learned Catholic says:
“ But whatever doctrines they may avow, for the
real convictions of their minds, it must be conceded
that the great body of foreigners—naturalized or
simply resident among us—arc not republican in
their spirit, their interior habits and their interior
life and discipline. They have not the inward and
abiding sense of the State ; of law in the abstract,
aud of liberty, with authority, which is so essential
to practical, as distinguished from theoretical re
publicanism. Hence, the invariable tendency to con
found republicanism with democracy, and democracy
with radicalism. They lack practical republi
can TRAINING.”
Again, the erudite reviewer says:
“ In later years, congregated in our larger cities,
and spread along the lines of our public works, the
foreign colonists have been tlie ready resource of
violent partisans and unprincipled demagogues,
whether native or foreign born, and have btconie so
important an element in our political warfare, that
we had the mortification in our last Presidential
election to see botli parties make the question turn
on which should secure the foreign vote. Here is
the real danger that rouses up the native American
spirit.”
It seems that it was not merely Air. O. A. Brown-
son uttering these sentiments—making these frank
concessions-the bold assertions-but it was, virtual
ly, the Catholic Church speaking; for, in the num
ber for October, 1854,page 4~5, he disclosed the im
portant fact, that the doctrine promulged, in his re
view of Air. D’s “tract,” in the J uly number was giv.
cn to the world “with the sanction of his lhshop, or a
theologian appointed by him.'’
We will close this article with the eloquent re
marks of the Hon. Mr. Hoffman, of Maryland, re
cently made in the House of Representatives, in
reference to tlie last paragraph which we have
quoted from Air. Brownson’s review :
“ AYe are now reaping the litter fruits of that
‘turn’ in the alienation of one section of our coun
try from the other; in the loss of public confidence,
and in our disordered Territorial and foreign af
fairs. It may be but a righteous retribution for
our fully and wickedness in thus pandering, and
tampering, and politically gambling with the for
eign vote. Amid all the gloomy apprehensions so
justly entertained in view of the present triangular
Presidential canvass, it cannot be otherwise than
cheering to the heart of the true patriot to know
that there is one party to which he may turn with
the well founded and grateful assurance that its
candidates arc law-abiding, its principles national,

Thomas Paine.—The New York Observer of the
4th instant, contains the copy of an affidavit, given
by a Mr. J. W. Warner, of Strattenport, L. I., da
ted January 12, 1856, from which we clip the fol
lowing, viz:
“ When I was a young man, about twenty-one
years of age, I was, with my father's team, return
ing home from a neighboring place, and was ac
costed by an aged man, and solicited by the same
to take him into my wagon, and carry him on his
way to the next town; that he asked him his name,
aud he replied, that his name was Thomas Paine;
and, recollecting that he had seen a hook entitled
the Age if Reason, he asked him if he was the man
who wrote that book : and that the old man replied,
he was the writer of it; and he asked him further,
if he (Paine) believed the Bible; to which Paine
said, with strong and emphatic language, that he
did bclierc the Bible, and that, as to his Age of Rea
son, he would have given worlds had he never pub
lished that Book. Mr. K. said, that this reply from
Paine made a strong impression upon his own
mind, being already influenced by the pernicious
tendencies of that book. Further, lie stated to me,
that he saw the same unhappy man under the in
fluence of ardent spirits, the same day at evening,
at the place where they stopped.”
Alabama Cotton Crop.—The cotton crop in
Dallas on tlie best lands, it is stated on the au
thority of an intelligent citizen of that county,
will not exceed a third ofa crop. The canebrake
region is sriid to be no better.
The Huntsville Advocate says the cotton crop
of North Alabama will be a short one ; that it has
been injured by the drought more than the corn
crep has been.
The Greensboro’ (Ala.) Beacon of the 29th nit.,
says : Many of our planters assure us that thej-
will not make half the crops they made last year,
even with the most favorable seasons from this
time till frost.

The Picayune Throwing off its Neutrality.—
Our staid and heretofore non-committal co:empo

trality and come out for the Know Nothing candi
date for the Presidency, Millard Fillmore It broke
ground ou Thursday morning last, in a ponderous

vance, the nominee of the Baltimore Convention
of “Old Line \\ higs,” which is to meet on the 17th

Eloquent and Truthful Extracts.
At a recent session of the American Slate Coun
cil of Kentucky, over which Air. Thomas H-Clay
—the patriotic and genuine scion of the late sturdy
tree of Ashland—presiJed, an able committee
was appointed to prepare an address to tlie people of
the U. States; of which twenty-five thousand cop
ies were ordered to be published. It was truly an elo
quent and cogent effort—such as we seldom meet
with, in tiiese days of “Grub Street” ejjercescence
and political degeneracy—and fully sustains the ex
alted reputation of its polished, profound and patri
otic author, Judge Robertson. The following elo
quent and truthful passages, extracted from that
address, will serve, iu some measure, to give the
reader au idea of the giant strength, and the grace
ful, classic beauty, w hich most strikingly charac
terise the whole document:—
The American principles and aims are deemed
by Americans congenial with our institutions and
essential to conservatism. The ship of State is
now in a perilous strait. She has been brought
by false or incompetent guides between Scylia and
Charybdis. She must be speedily anchored and a
better pilot put on board. We must change her
crew or she may be swallowed up in the whirlpool
of consolidation, or split to pieces on the rocks
of dissolution. Millard Fillmore—tried and true as
old Ulysses—is the sura and safe helmsman, and
Union Whigs and Union Democrats—Americans—
all who will stand by him are now the oniy trust
worthy crew. The choice of Henry Clay—who
was the Union’s champion and the mover ofa Un
ion party—should be ratified by his friends and al!
the friends of the Union. And if all who approve
the choice adhere to him whom they prefer, Air. Fill
more will be the next President of the United
.States. And then, and not otherwise, peace and
confidence will he restored, and the Union will be
safe, sound, and hopeful.
The address then proceeds :
The opposing candidates art, al! sectional—each
claiming votes on local grounds, and making
slavery the decisive test—one set playing on the
excited sensibilities of the South, and the other
set appealing alone to the fanaticism of the North
—each section having been forced into hostile an
tagonism by politicians for the political purpose
of raising to power just such men as are unpatriot
ic enough to seek it on just such grounds.
And continues :
The success of any such aspirants would be a
national calamity, and the guardian genius of our
Union is invoked to avert it by favoring the elec
tion of Fillmore and Dor.el-ion by the voice of the
country and for the welfare of the whole country.
And it'seems difficult to conceive how a Union
Whi”- or Union Democrat can consistently or safe
ly prefer cither set of their opponents to Fillmore
and Donelson. Were Mr. Buchanan not a candi
date, Air. Fillmore’s election would be certain :
were Mr. Fillmore not a Candidate, Mr.
Fremont’s election would be strongly proba
ble. The only effect, therefore, of AJr. Buch
anan’s coming on the arena after Air. Fillmore
was on it sure of victory, must he to weaken him
and strengthen Fremont, and, as may not be very
improbable, throw the election on the States in
Congress, in which Rhode Island and Delaware
will have as many votes as New-York and Vir
ginia, and where intrigue and not the popular will
may preside over the decision. Yet the forlorn
hope of Buchanan is the deceptive cry that lie
alone can defeat Fremont.
The New-York Freeman's Journal for last week,
the accredited orgau of Bishop Hughes, thus speaks
upon the subject of Col. Fremont's religion : “lhe
attempt to make the public swallow so absurd a
story ns that Air. Fremont did not for years profess
himself a Roman Catholic—and nothing but a Ro
man Catholic—has actually something iu it hardly
one step from the sublime.”
Hr. Fillmore on Squatter Sovereignty.
A highly interesting correspondence between
Col. J. 1’. Pryor, editor of the Memphis Eagle ig En
quirer,and Col. Joseph S. Williams, “a planter of
Louisiana, and a gentleman of high character and
standing both in that State and in Tennessee,
where he formelyresided,” appears in the Eagle ir
Enquirer of the 12th instant.
The following is Col. Williams’ reply to a note
of enquiry from Air. Pryor as to the subject of a
convers.atiou he lately had with Air. Fillmore on
the subject of “popular” or squatter sovereign
ty, viz:
AIemphis, Sept. 12, 1356.
Col. J. P. Pryor—Dear Sir :—Your note of this
Instant, asking, for publication, the substance of
a conversation between Hon. Alillard Fillmore and
myself, upon the subject of “Squatter” or Terri
torial Sovereignty, has just been handed me. I
cheerfully comply with your request, as I was
placed under no restraint by him in reference to
the matter-
Upon my return home from the North, I called
to see Mr. Fillmore, at his home in Buffalo, N. Y.,
on the 4th inst During our conversation, I asked
him what he thought of “Squatter Sovereignty-’’—
and in reply, he entered into a free and unreserv
ed expression ofliis views. He said he was decid
edly opposed to this doctrine, as advocated by
Cass, Douglas, Buchanan, A’an Buren and others ;
he believed that a Territory, nutil its inhabitants
were sufficienly numerous to authorize the forma
tion of a State Constitution, preparatory to admis
sion into the Union as a State, could only he rc-
gardedas in a condition of pnpiiagc, possessing no
sovereignty whatever, and referred to the Utah
and New Mexico Territorial bills, sanctioned by
him, as a correct indication of his opinions.
I was gratified to find that Air Fillmore oecnpi-
ed the same position upon this question which is
maintained by the American party in the South
and by the whole band of National Americans at
the North, headed by such men as Fuller of Penn
sylvania, Haven of New York, and others, and I
told him I would like to be at liberty to speak of
the explanation received from him. He replied
he had expressed the same views to others, and
that I could make such use of them as I thought
proper, l'ours, truly,
Joseph S. Williams-

Mr. Sprague was formerly an United States Sen

Lord Erskine was at the height ofhis rep

Erskine, he happened to remark that he
felt liimsclt more and more timid ashe grew

Great Fillnm
Our New-York American exchanges represent
the Fillmore procession in that city, F riday night
the 12th, as unexampled in number and enthusiasm
in the politicals annals of the country, and their
reports are fully confirmed by gentlemen who ar
rived out in the steamer of yesterday-
The Newark Daily Eagle makes the following
general record of the occasion .
THE EMPIRE CITY ABLAZE!
Immense Demonstration—100,000 in and about
Union Square—Unparalleled Enthusiasm !
We shall not attempt at the late hour at which
we write this (l A. Al ) to give a description of
the grand Fillmore and Donelson demonstration
in New-York last night. Language is inadequate
to convey to the reader the most remote idea of its
immensity, or of the enthusiasm that prevailed
It was estimated by competent judges, that not less
than 100,060 persons were in an about Union
.Square at the time the procession commenced
moving.
The procession itself has never been surpassed-
It was nearly an hour aud a half passing a given
point, and was literally ablaze all along flic route
v ith rockets, Roman candles, Drummond lights,
&c.,&c.
The banners in the procession were a’l very
handsome but some of them were truly splendid.
The Express of Saturday says :
Yew-York Aroused.
The great American meeting and procession
on Friday night was the most imposing polit-
cal demonstration that ever took place in this city.
It was no boys’ meeting; it was no gathering of
foreign hirelings. But earnest and true, w hole-
souled Americans turned out—the whole city as
one man,—to vindicate American principles, and
do honor to the American candidates. We are
very safe when we say that this demonstration
called out two hundred thousand people. In Un
ion Square and neighborhood there were at least
seventy thousand persons, and the procession
and spectators in the streets did not fall short of
130,00ft more. There were thousands of banners
in the procession, which was over five miles ii>
length, aud the enthusiasm which greeted it on
its line cf march surpassed anything heretofore
seen in Gotham. New-York came out nobly for
Fillmore aud Donelson.
The Xcw York Mirror reproduces what
is stated to he “an extract from a poem h}’
YYilliam J. Grayson.” It contains a good
hit and we copy itn
“ There StJire, with prostituted’ pen assails
One-half her country in malignant tales;
Careless, like Trollope, whether truth she tolls,
And anxious only how the libel sells ;
To slander’s mart she furnishes supplies,
And feeds its morbifl appetite for lies,
On fictions fashioned with malicious art r
The venal pencil and malignant heart.
With fact distorted, inference unsound,
Creatures in fancy, not In nature found—
Chaste Quadroon virgins, saints of sable hue,
Alartyrs, than zealous-Raul more tried and tsue,
Demoniac masters-,sentimental slaves,
Alulatto cavaliers amd Creole knaves—
Monsters each portrait drawn, each story told .»
What then ? The book maV bring its weight in gold.
Enough ! upon the crafty rule she leans.
That makes the purpose justify the means;
Concocts the venom, and with eager gaze.
To Glasgow flies for patrons, pence and praise,
And for a slandered country finds rewards-
In smiles or sneers of duchesses and lords.
F’or profits and applauses poor as these,
To the false tale she adds its falser Iveys
Of gathered slanders—her ignoble aim,.
With foes to traffic in her country’s shame.
Strange power of Nature from whose efforts flow
Such diverse forms as Nightingale and Stowe !
One glares a torch of discord; one a star
Of blessing shines amid the wrecks of war;
One prone to libel p one to deeds cf lore;
The vulture-spirit one, and-one the dove*”
