the defendant, because Capt. Hollins had

The Fate of Walker and Kudler.
For some time past, the public has
been in receipt of intelligence of the fail
ure of Walker’s expedition to Honduras
and Central America, the avowed object
of which was the union of all the Central
American States under one Federal Re
public. Latest advices leave little or no
doubt that the privates of the expedition
have been allowed to return to the Uni
ted States, while by the perfidy of the
Commander of the English man of war,
Icarus, Gen. Walker and Col. Rudler
were made exceptions and condemned to
be shot by the authorities of Honduras.
Having expatriated themselves and
therefore placed themselves without the
pale of protection by the United
States, it is altogether probable that
Walker and his companion are no more,
though they have carried with them to
their graves the sympathy of the common
people of that country, who did not dare
to join him in the insane attempt to revo
lutionize tho government with a mere
handfull of men.
Tho “ gray-eyed man of destiny” will
be remembered by many of our readers.
Os Col. Rudler, less is known, though he
is a native of Augusta, Ga., and was for
some time well and favorably known as
a resident of Mobile and New Orleans.—
He was no less quiet and unobtrusive
than his commander, and equaled him in
cool and determined courage. Having
tempted fate, they doubtless met it like
soldiers; and while many condemned
their enterprise as unlawful and Quixotic,
all will concede that they have, under
appalling circumstances, displayed qual
ities which will elicit the admiration of
brave men the world over.

Tlie Fusion In New York.
It is reduced to a settled fact, that the
opponents of Lincoln in New York have
failed in the attempt to effect a fusion of
parties to defeat him in November next.
This does not occasion much surprise,
considering the animosity existing be
tween the two rival and contending fac
tions of the Democracy.
Even had the leaders agreed upon the
terms of a fusion against Lincoln, the
masses of the people were still to be con
sulted ; and without their sanction and
acquiesence, it did not amount to any
thing and would have been of no practical
effect. However much the defeat of Lin
coln is to be desired, it is only desirable
upou tho terms which would guarantee
the equality of the South in the Union ;
and as tho principles of parties in the
South are so repugnant to each other, and
the advocates of each are consequently
mnch divided in opinion, it is almost an
utter impossibility to unite the people in
favor of such a movement.
It is conceded that the electoral vote of
New York is the pivot on which the con
test turns, as it polls tho largest vote of
any State in the Union. The attempt at
fusion having failed there, as it will prac
tically wherever it has been attempted,
there is no hope left but resistance or
submission to the election of Lincoln and
tho triumph of the Black Republicans.
Important from Mexico.
From the New Orleans Picayune, of the
19th, we learn most interesting news
from Mexico. The Liberal army is re
ported to number 20,000 men and were
marching on the capital. Miramon’s
force numbered 7,500, and will not, un
der any circumstances, be able to com
mand more than 9,000 men and 90 pieces
of artillery. The Church had been call
ed upon to give up the holy plate, to
raise money, but the order had not gen
erally been complied with. At ast ac
counts, some $63,000 only had thus been
raised.
AH other means failing, anew forced
loan was projected and was daily expect
ed to be proclaimed. It was, however,
to be levied on Mexicans alone. All
foreign residents were to be excepted.
At Silao, Miramon lost all his personal
effects, $70,000, and barely escaped with
his life to the capital. Immediately on
his arrival he resigned tho Presidency,
but was subsequently urged to resume
the office, which he did, when the Span
ish Minister, Pacheco, formally present
ed his credentials and recognized the
Government. Miramon himself is said
to be in very low spirits. He is entirely
in the hands of the Spanish Minister.
It is stated that Gen. Robles, who com
mands between Jalapa and Puebla, was
paid $40,000 by the merchants of Mexico
to let the late conducta of $400,000 up
wards pass without molestation.

Capt. Charles C. Hicks.
“ Pink,” the New York correspondent;
the Charleston Courier says :
Capt. Charles C. Hicks, another filibus
ter, has followed in the wake of General
Wheat and gone to Europe, to join in the
cause of Garibaldi. He sailed to day in
the Fulton for Havre. A lot of sympa
thizing friends saw him off, giving cheers,
and making other noisy demonstrations.
If we mistake not, Capt. Hicks is the
same gentleman who spent some time in
this city during the last winter. He was
connected with Walker’s filibustering ex
pedition to Nicaraugua and Central
America, and hold the rank of Colonel in
the army. From what we have learned
of Capt. or Col. Hicks, he has passed
through many “hair breadth’scapes and
moving accidents by flood and field;”
and is likely to encounter many more in
the cause of Garibaldi and Italy.
Tlie Broderick Will.
Advices from California state that
the Broderick will was before the Pro
bate Court. Martin McDonnell, formerly
Deputy Sheriff of New York, was sworn
as witness for the contestants. He im
peached the reputation for truth and ve
racity of A. A. Phillips, one of the con
testing witnesses. He swore that his
reputation was bad ; that he would not
believe him under oath, and that Phil
lips was a notorious Tombs lounger.

Lamentable Suicide.
Mr. J. K. Polk Ingram, a young man
nineteen years - of age, says the Union
and American of the 16th inst., committed
suicide by shooting himself with a rifle,
while hunting on a farm of his brother
in-law, A. B. Manion, near Trenton, Ky.,
on the 4th inst. The cause of this deplo
rable occurrence was evidently aberration
of mind, induced by disease and hard
stuay. He was a pious and zealous mem
kber of the Babtist Church, and much

Dr. Dorman on Dr. Neily.
Since the publication of the sentiment
which tho Rev. Dr. Neely is reported to
have uttered in au address at Livingston,
Ala., in rolation to the duty of the South
in case of the election of Lincoln, some of
the papers, and particularly the Selma
(Ala.) Reporter, have endeavored to de
moralize him by reviving the stale charge
among others of his visiting a house of
ill-fame at Nashville. The Rev. T. W.
Dorman, of the Alabama Conference in a
communication to that paper, thus dis
poses of the charge, as unfair as it is un
generous. He says:
In reference to the allegation of visit
ing a “house of ill-fame in Nashville,”
twelve years ago in an attempt to reclaim
one of its wretched inmates, I have only
to say that while the fact is mentioned,
the motive is not, whether intentionally or
not I cannot say. But suffice it to say
the whole matter was investigated by the
Alabama Conference and he was honora
ably acquitted of all immorality in act or in
tention. My relation to the Conference
as Secretary at the time, places me in a
position that enables me to speak from a
perfect knowledge of all the proceedings
in the case.
Business Like,
So one would conclude by spending a
few moments at the Depots of the Mus
cogee and Opelika Rail Roads. The im
ports of provisions, dry goods and groce
ries, much to stop here and much to be
forwarded to towns and cities West and
South of us—tho rattle of the trucks,
the whistle of the busy shifting locomo
tives and the noisy draymen, all conspire
to impress the quiet observer that there
is a little world of business concentrated
in and around a railway. If we visit the
merohant and try to have a social and
agreeable chat, we generally leave with
the blues. “Cause why? he’s got the
same himself;” but if we go about the
depots the blues take wings and fly
away. Merchants are like the balance
of mankind, they lovo to be doing some
thing, and the more they do the more
they desire to do, until they will get to a
place where they are very difficult to
satisfy. Patience is a great virtue and
all should cultivate its acquaintance, that
its effects may be the more visible, by
disposing all to be cheerful, though there
may hang a gloomy cloud around the
horizon. Remember, that the morning
Sun will break through these mists and
dissipate them, and cause all nature and
you to wear a smiling and cheerful coftn
tenance.

Mr. Canning’s Theatrical Troupe.
We are in receipt of a letter from Mr.
Canning at Montgomery, Ala., stating
to us that he will open the fall season
in our city on Monday, Ist October next,
with Mr. J. Wilkes Booth and Miss Mary
Mitchell. Mr. Booth is a brother of Mr.
Edwin Booth who appeared upon our
stage last winter and won favorablj’ upon
the affections of our people by his most
excellent and correct rendition of Shake
speare’s great plays. Mr. Wilkes Booth
will, for the present, drop the latter title
and appear under the simple name of J.
Wilkes, to avoid confusing him with his
brother. Miss Mary Mitchell is the sis
ter of the charming and petite Maggie,
who so delighted our people last winter
by her charming naivatte performances.
In addition Mr. Canning brings to our
city a company which ha3 never been
surpassed here.
We have made this additional notice,
in regard to the appearance of this com

a man who was lying asleep upon the
track, and threw him off, lodging him
some six feet above the track upon an
embankment without Serious personal
injury. The man upon finding himself
alive, coolly took a drink from a bottle
which he had, and consulted his watch to
learn the time of night.

Cotton Losses in Mobile.
The Mobile Evening News says we
have endeavored to obtain a tolerably
correct estimate of tho amount of loss in
cotton caused by the recent storm ; perfect
accuracy is, of course, out of the question.
At Goodman & Jones’ warehouse 2820
bales of cotton were burned, of which
1225 bales were old, estimated at S4O a
bale, 25 new, at SSO, and of the remain
der about two-thirds is supposed to be
new; giving—
New cotton, 1,305 bales, at SSO per bale... $65,250
Old cotton, 1,515 bales, at S4O per bale... 60,600
Total .$125,850
The damage by water is less easily as
certained. Deducting the amount burned,
there was some 54,500 bales in the city;
of which, perhaps, 40,000 was new. Sup
posing 40,000 bales to be in tiers, ten
bales high, as usual, 4,000 bales would
be submerged, and could hardly be dam
aged less than $8 a bale, while the next
tier of 4,000 would not suffer more than
$2 a bale; of the remaining 14,500 much
was headed, and wet to the height of
three ropes or more, and must have been
damaged to the amount of $3 a bale.
Supposing half of it so damaged, we have
the following estimate:
4,000 bales, at $8 $32,000
4,000 bales, at $2 8,000
7,250 bales, at $3 21,750
Total $61,750
This, however, is but one estimate ; as
we have heard it represented that at this
time of the year the cotton is generally
overhauled to ascertain whether it is
damaged or not, and most of it is on end,
and some belive that not less than 30,000
bales have thus been damaged, to the av
erage extent of $3 abale, making SBO,OOO.
Taking the medium between these state
ments, we may reasonably state the loss
by fire and water at something in the
neighborhood of $200,000.
For the Daily Sun.
ALONE.
Alone! alone! ’tis a sad, sad wail,
But who knoweth its full import;
Not many, alas! but knoweth it well,
For ah“me! life is short.
The heart bereft of its dearest joys,
Turns sadly away with a moan,
From earthly pomp and its gilded toys,
For oh! that heart is alone.
But if forced to mingle with the heartless world,
In the midnight chime-bells’ tone,
That bleeding heart can only hear
The sound of alone—alone.
And alone through all the walks of life,
Will this heart forever be,
Till I go to join the one that’s gone
Away from earth and me.
And I thank my God for the promise given,
That we’ll meet those that are gone,
For when we’ve once clasp’d hands in Heaven,
They’ll be no more alone. AMO.
A Stolen Negro Returned.
On the night of the Bth inst., says the
Rome Courier, two negro boys belonging
to Col. James Word and Mr. Joseph Ford
of this county, disappeared and suspi
cious were entertained that they had
been stolen. On last Sunday Col. Word’s
negro was brought back and gave the
following account of himself: Two white
men in company with Mr. Ford’s negro,
came to him and proposed to take him to
a free state; he refused, but the other
negro suggested that he be carried by
force, lest he might inform against them.
The white men then by threats and men
aces compelled him to go, but near Alla
toona, Cass county, he managed to es
cape and gave himself up.
A Man Almost Devoured by a Dog.
Richaid Bason, a butcher owns a large
bull dog, whose savage disposition is pro
verbial. Not long since he bit severely a
man who chanced to cross his path, after
which Bason chained him at home. Yes
terday he had occasion to set him on
some hogs which were invading his prem
ises, when the dog, becoming offended,
sprang at his throat. By great exer
tions Bason kept the brute from effect
ing his object, but the dog literally tore
his arms, thighs and legs to shreds.—
The struggle was a protracted one, and
it required the assistance of two men to
cause him to let go his hold upon bis
master. Bason’s wounds are of a severe
nature, and may prove fatal. Mrs. Ba
son was also bit in trying to take the
deg off her husband. —Memphis Avalan

Bills of Lading,
Loose or bound, '“just from the press and for
sale at this office.
Sent Back.
We are informed that an agent of Jef
frard, tho President of the negro republic
of Hayti, arrived in this city yesterday
by the mail boat from New Crleans, for
the purpose of enlisting emigrants among
our free colored population, to whom
great inducements in the way of lands,
exemption from taxes, etc., are held out
in Hayti. He was provided with letters
from the Mayor of New Orleans and oth
ers, but there being no power in our lo
cal authorities to suspend—even had it
been desirable —the well-known law of
prohibiting free negroes from entering
the State of Alabama, the colored ambas
sador was forced to retrace his steps and
return by yesterday’s boat to where he
came from, though the law in this case
was not applied in all its stringency.
Jeffrard in thus inviting a colored em
igration from the United States, is pur
suing a commendable policy, though we
fear that the attempt at regenerating the
population of that unhappy island is a
hopeless one, and that those who may be
allured to leave the regions of civilization
to seek a doubtful prosperity among lazy
savages, will soon themselves relapse into
the state of those by whom they are sur
rounded, instead of improving their
neighbors. It is not, however, our inter
est to discourage them, as this is perhaps
the best chance of ridding ourselves of a
portion at least of our free negro popu
lation. Only the thing, if done at all,
should be done under the superintendence
of commissioners appointed by the State,
and not be left to the agency of colored
emissaries, no matter how respectable by
the Haytian standard of respectability.
In Louisiana the emigration appears to
be popular, as several vessels have
already left with emigrants to Hayti. It
must, however, be remembered that not
long since tho law banishing all free ne
groes took effect in that State. As a
matter of humanity our conscience would
never permit us to advise any colored
man, having the means of making a liv
ing here, to expose himself to so frightful
a risk ; but if determined to go, we would
afford him every facility for leaving.—

From the N. O. Picayune 19th.
Tlie Gale at Pascagoula.
The storm was first felt at East Pasca
goula to-wards 11 o’clock Friday night,
and lasted until Saturday night, at 10
o’clock, making 22 hours of suffering for
the greater number of the inhabitants.—
The wind blew with increased fury and
the water in the bay rose to an uncom
mon height, dashing furiously over the
sandy beach and flooding the whole town.
The aotion of the waves broke up the
beach for a distance of three miles, and
undermined the foundations of the build
ings fronting on the bay. Some six or
eight tumbled down, the inmates having
barely time to escape. Among the per
sons whose property was destroyed, we
learn the names of Messrs. Blanc, Mau
rice (lost several houses that were
rented out,) and Spehrmberg. The
latter gentleman and his family expe
rienced the most cruel sufferings ; they
had to wade through the water a
distance of two miles and a half,
Mr. Spehrmberg carrying two of his
children on his back. Mrs. S. was en
ciente, and upon reaching a place of safe
ty she was delivered of a dead child.—
She was still lying in the most critical
condition yesterday. Mr. Anton, in the
employ of Government as keeper of the
barracks, was very near losing his life.
His house, anew building not quite fin
ished, was washed away. A carpenter,
name unknown, who was in the house at
the time, is missing, and was undoubtedly
crushed beneath the ruins.
Mr. Fisher, keeper of the light-house
on Round Island, lost everything. His
house and contents were washed away,
and he remained with his family on the
island, without food or shelter, until
Monday, when they were rescured. The
Government buildings are all gone.
The wharf at Pascagoula is entirely
destroyed, and the whole beach, from
Bayou Caussot to Capt. Grant’s resi
dence, is broken up. For several miles
in the interior, the cattle were swept off
and drowned. At Mr. Auld’s on the
bayou, known as the Ducayet property,
the cattle suffered considerably, and a
large number were found dead.
During this fearful gale, the water
rose three feet higher than it was ever
known in any storm since the great dis
aster in 1819.
It is estimated that $40,000 would
scarcely cover the loss suffered in this
dreadful calamity. Not only have per
sons of means lost heavily, but families
in reduced circumstances have been left
destitute of even the common necessi
ties of life.
Danger at Home.
Last week some of the citizens near Al
leuton, thinking their negroes had been
tampered with, determined to see wheth
er their belief had foundation or not.—
Accordingly one of the members disguised
himself and going to the plantation of a
neighbor told one of the servants that he
was the abolitionist who was in that part
of the country a few weeks ago, and ask
ed the negro what arrangements had
been made. The negro replied that eve
rything was ready to commence the next
Monday. The rest of the company, by a
previous agreement, then came up on
the negro and the disguised planter, and
allowed their companion to escape but
caught the negro and forced him to dis
close all the conversation that occurred.
Suspicion rested on a ditcher, calling
himself Kelly, as the instigator of the in
surrection, and a vigilance committee
succeeded in finding Kelly at work during
the day on a farm in the neighborhood.
He was arrested and the case examined
at a private residence to see what was
best to do with him. Kelly owned that
he had said that he wished the negroes
free, that he had drank with them, and
had remained all night with them at sev
eral quarters in that settlement. The
negroes corroborated his statement and
added that they had been assured by
Kelly that their freedom would be certain
when Mr. Douglas was elected President.
The examining committee were not suffi
ciently satisfied of his guilt so as to let
the decision of Judge Lynch prevail, but
deferred a further investigation until he
should be brought before a magistrate in
Camdeu. His trialjakes place to morrow
or the day after.— Camden {Ala.) Repub.

Vlie Town of Biloxi Destroyed—Tlie
Gale.
By the arrival of the Alabama at New
Orleans, the 18th, we learn that on the
whole Lake coast, there is not a wharf or
bath house left standing. The villages
had not suffered much, but the town of
Biloxi is a mass of ruins. “ Look at the
unseemly pile of ruins left by the late fire
in Royal street, from Custom house to
Bienville street,” says an eyo witness,’
and you will form an idea of the appear
ance of Biloxi, as seen from on board the
Alabama.”
The long wharf was covered by nine
feet of water, and, in fact, the approach
to the late beautiful little town was a
mass of water, strewn with pieces of tim
ber and furniture. This gale was consid
ered far worse than the fearful storm of
1855.
Only one man was killed at Biloxi,
which was by the falling of a hotel. At
Pass a l’Outre, Mr. Osgood’s coffeehouse
snd residence were blown and washed
away. Mrs. Osgood and her children
drifted out on a bed, which got caught in
the limbs of a willow tree; there they re
mained until Saturday morning, when
they were rescued from their perilous
situation.
Gov. Letcher on the Election of a
Black Republican President.
In his inaugural message to the Leg
islature in January last Gov. Letcher us
ed the following language relating to the
election of a Black Republican to the
Presidency. He has called that body to
convene on the 4th of January next, for
the arrangement of the affairs of the
James River and Kanawha Canal. The
Richmond Enquirer suggests that the
Legislature will find more serious work
to do than that:
“ The ‘irrepressible conflict’ doctrine,
announced and advocated by the ablest
and most distinguished leader of the Re
publican party, is an open declaration of
war against the institution of African
slavery, wherever it exists, and I would
be disloyal to Virginia and the South, if
I did not declare that the electiou of such
a man, entertaining such sentiments and
advocating such doctrines, ought to be
resisted by the slaveholding States.—
The idea of permitting such a man to
have the control and direction of the ar
my and navy of the United States, and
the appointment of high judicial and ex
ecutive officers, postmasters included,
cannot be entertained by the South for a
moment.”
Gov. Wise on tlie Union.
Gov. Wise’s letter in response to the
invitation to attend the late barbecue at
Raleigh is published. He says: For my
own part I will not concede. I will not se
cede. I will not acquiesce. I will not
submit. I will fight in the Union as long
as I can get a respectable or hopeful plu
rality, or minority even, of firm, true
men to stand by me and with me for the
Constitution and the country. In my
negroes I have property—rights. In the
Union I have political rights, and I will
not be the coward or the slave to give the
one to preserve the other ; and I will give
up neither, but fight to the last rather
than either shall be assailed or destroy
ed. In any event, we are on the eve of
a dissolution, and the question is simply,
Shall it be peaceful, only by our base
submission to insult and outrage? If you
will fight, the Union will be saved.

Awful Accident. ;
Ou the 17th instant, says the Rome
Courier of the 20th, while Mr. Henry
Hicks was at work in a well on Mr. W. R.
Vann’s premises, at Coosaville, in this
county, the blast exploded prematurely,
most horribly and fatally mangling Mr.
Hicks. The frontal skull was fractured
leaving his brain exposed ; the flesh was
entirely torn from his right cheek; both
jaw-bones broken, and a piece of rock, as
large as a goose egg, penetrated the breast
and lodged within a half-inch of his heart.
He lingered in agony until Tuesday mor
ning when he was relieved by death from
his sufferings.

The New Orleans Picayune learns by a
private dispatch from New York, to one of
its leading merchants, that the footing up
of the cotton crop in that city is 4,675,770
bales. The footing up in Now Orleanr
was 4,650,000 bales.
This markes a difference in favor of the
New York estimates of 25,700 bales.

port were 14,462 bales, of whioh 4,349
were by the steamer Magnolia from

Facts for the People—The Exports
and Imports.
‘■l answer, secondly, that we ha ve sugar and
cotton enough already for domestic consump
tion, and a surplus of the hitter for exportation,
without any increase of slave territory. Do you !
say that Europe wants more sugar and cotton
than we can supply? I reply, let, them, Europe
send her free laborers hither, or into Italy, or
into the West Indies, or into the East; or, if it ;
suit them better, let them engage the natives ;
of cotton-growing regions in the Old World to
produce sugar and cotton voluntarily, and for
adequate Such a course, in
stead of fortifying and enlarging the sway of
slavery here,’ will leave us free to favor its
gradual removal. It will renew or introduce
civilization on the shores of the Mediterranean,
and throughout the coast of the Indian Ocean.
Christianity more fully developed and better
understood now than heretofore, turns with
disgust and horror from the employment of
force and piracy as a necessary agency of the
Gospel.” Wm. U. Seward's Speech at Detroit,
Sept Oh, 1860.
We have taken from tbe speech of the
Hon. Wm. H. Seward the above extract',
and propose to show in connection there
with, by figures, the injury he would ac
complish if his infatuation is crowned
with success. If the people of the North
ever had an enemy that would bring them
completely to ruin, he could not be more
successful than by adopting tbe policy of
Wm. 11. Seward. The madness of the
folly which now pervades a large portion
of the northern mind, stimulated as it is
by such men as Seward, Sumner, Greeley,
and a boßt of others, by appealing to the
strongest prejudices and the worst pas
sions of human nature is fast precipitating
this country into revolution. In a spirit
of calmness, perfectly free from partiality
for the one section, or prejudice against
the other, we propose to point out the
material interest that will be affected by
this continual warfare upon an institution
venerable for its antiquity, aud sanctioned
by Him who controls alike the destinies
of men and of nations.
The trading capital of a nation with
foreign countries is its exports ; and what
ever opinions may be entertained by in
dividuals as to the best policy, viewing
it as a question of political economy, as
to the protection of domestic industry in
the interchange of productions with for
eign countries, one thing is certain—in
which all will agree—without something
to export we shall be in a very bad con
dition to import. It is, therefore, only
necessary to exhibit our exports to show
our condition as to our foreign trade, sa
far as we may be able to purchase. When
ever the country exports largely of her
own productions, she is fully able to sup
ply the wants and the luxuries of her
people, and that section that furnishes
most of the exports adds greatly to the
wealth of all sections. We do not, by the
comparison we are going to institute, in
tend to reflect upon tbe industrial inter
est of any section, but we wish to exhibit
the fact that the North will suffer much
more than the South in all the material
interests which bring comfort and wealth
if those who now seem to control her
destiny succeed in their efforts.
The exports of the fiscal year, ending
June 30th, 18G0, embracing specie and
American produce, amouuted to §373,-
167,461 : in addition to which we also
exported about §27,000,000 of foreign
produce, making all of our exports $400,-
167,461, and exceeding our imports for
the same period $38,370,252 ; the imports
being §361,797,209.
The specie and American produce exported
were, as above stated $373,167,461
Os this amount the specie was 56,946,551
The amount of American produce
consequently exported was 316,220,610
We propose to classify the amount fur
nished exclusively by the free States, the
amount furnished by both the free and
slave States, (were it is impossible to
separate and designate tbe representative
amount furnished by each,) and the
amount furnished exclusively by the
slave States.

and whale oils, whalebone, dried
and pickled fish $4,156,480

Free and slave States 96.826.299
Slave States exclusively 214,322,880
Total .'. 316,220,610
If any one will analyze the articles
embraced in the amount of $96,826,299
belonging alike to the labor of the free
and slave States,.he will find that at least
one-third is justly the products of Blave
labor. We have, therefore, the fact that
out of $316,220,610 of exports of domes
tic industry, nearly $250,000,000 is fur
nished by those States known as slave
States.
These are the figures which exhibit
facts that every Northern man should
consider who prefers his own country
and his own Union to any other. We
can readily understand, with Mr. Sew
ard’s hostile feelings to fifteen States of
this Union, how it is that he should pre
fer the prosperity of Europe. But he
has permitted his malice and hatred to
overreach the interest of his own people.
If we have no sugar and cotton to export,
what becomes of the deservedly proud
city of his own State ? Take away from
our exports the sum of $191,806,555,
the single article of cotton and tell us
what ruin it would spread Are Mr.
Seward and his followers so short-sight
ed as to suppose that only the producers
of the article will be affected by its de
struction? Every interest in the United
States would feel the shock, and the com
mercial world itself would tremble under
the catasthrophe. These figures require
no argument to satisfy reflecting men
that our discords are driving us to rnin.
They appeal with a force that every sec
tion can understand.
But suppose we raise the curtain and
look beyond this present state of united
happiness, united interest, and united
prosperity, and see what lies behind.—
Suppose Mr. Seward and his followers
succeed in disuniting this people, who
are the greatest sufferers? At present
the foreign commerce of this country is
at the North ; the capital to carry it on
is furnished by the South. When we be
come seperate and, it may be hostile na
tions, the scene will be changed. The
Southern young man will be educated to
do in this business what now almost ex
clusively belongs to the Northern. The
very institution of slavery may have some
influence in taking away from the young
men of the South the necessity to follow
commercial employment, and hence there
is not that stimulant there which exists
at thq North.
Let two seperate governments follow
the policy of Mr. Seward, which will as
certainly take place as the night suc
ceeds the day, and where now the South
appears to be languid all will be life, en
ergy, and activity. The great law of
necessity will urge them to a policy
which, if they had followed their inter
est, they would have adopted long ago.
The interest of the Southern people will
be exclusively free trade ; they will have
no necessity to build up this or that do
mestic industry by bounties or protective
tariffs, and hence the North will lose
what is now the greatest source of their
wealth —the home market. In looking
over the classification we have presented
of the industrial interest of each section
it will be found that New England and’
in fact, most of the Northern free States',
furnish but little of our wealth as exhibi
ted by the reports. The question is sug
gestive, in what, then, does the actual
wealth of the North consist? They are
an industrious people, and must certainly
make something. It is answered in the
fact that they supply the home market
with those articles that are not imported
from foreign countries, and their amount
is millions. To the Union they are in
debted for this wealth ; without it their
industry would come in competition with
other countries, and under which they
would not be able to stand. Take an
illustration in the article of cotton manu
factures : suppose there was no tariff at
all, what would become of that interest
in the free States ? Capital and labor
would both feel the blow. In the South
the reverse would take place; capital
and labor would both be benefited. And
so it is with every article that could be
mentioned. We only point out these
things to show the folly of continuing
this controversy of the “irrepressible con
flict.” Those who are engaged in it will
certainly bring ruin upon their section,
while they may open new avenues to
wealth in that section they are seeking
to destroy. We present the figures and
facts for the reflecting men of the North.
They cannot deceive you. If, as we
think, they most assuredly show it is to
your interest to continue this Union with
your Southern brethren, it becomes you,
then, to let them have peace on this
slavery question. They can live without
you, so far as interest is concerned.—
You will feel materially tbe seperation.—
The question is a simple one. To the
North it appeals to their common sense
and common interest. To the South it
appeals only to their safety and the pro
tection of their firesides. If the question
was submitted to a jury of twelve honest
men they would not hesitate upon their
verdict; nor do we believe that the North
is prepared to take a course which is gui
ded by fanaticism and controlled by
madness.

a lengthy speech, in which he favored the
doctrine of Popular Sovereignty in mild
language. His arguments were applaud
ed. Among the resolutions adopted, was
one declaring that the election of the
candidate of the Republican party to the
Presidency would be dangerons to the
whole country, and the elevation of its
candidate for Governor would tend to
produce like results, and every honorable
means in their power should be adopted
to prevent the consummation of such an
event. Gen. Foster, the Democratic can
didate for Governor was received with
loud and prolonged cheering. He made
a lengthy speech chiefly for the purpose
of uniting the different party elements
against the Republicans. In the speech
of Mr. Foster, many complimentary re
marks were made to the Union party,
which were loudly cheered.
New York, Sept. 16. — The Breckin
ridge State Committee will publish an ad
dress to-morrow, giving their statement
of the recent negotiations with the Doug
las Committee. They say: “Our candi
dates will be supported by the energy
and means at our command.” The
Douglas organization, rejecting the only
means by which the State oould be pre
vented from voting for Lincoln, has re
duced the practical question between the
Democrats of New York, in the coming
election to one of future organization
only. By voting for Breckinridge and
Lane, the National Democrats will not
only sustain the principles of their party,
and preserve a nucleus about which will
be formed a national party in the State,
but will encourage their friends all over
the Union, and be received and honored
in the next National Convention of Demo
crats. instead of being rejected and de
spised, as they surely will be, if they pre
sent themselves upon this platform of
Squatter Sovereignty in company with
their new allies.
The Douglas sub-committea rejected
the proposals of the Breckinridge Volun
teer Association, and also declared that
they would not, under any circumstan,
ces, take any of the electors now on the
Breckinridge electoral ticket.
They charge the Douglas managers in
the State with having produced the pre
sent difficulties in the party, and with
peremptorily refusion to allow their ad
justment. They say that Squatter Sov
ereignty is but another from of Republi
canism, and conclude by recommending
campaign clubs and active measures for
bringing their whole vote to the polls in
November.
