Louis Journal of a recent date says: • It is an advantage to our candidates Dell ■tud Everett, nud certainly a most importafit one, hat they are, to all practical purpose.*, the second choice of all other parties. Tho fact, wo believe, is unquestionable. No one can doubt that the friends of Douglas and Johnson would, under existing circumstan ces, rathorsco Deli and Everett elected thau either Breckinridge und Luno or Lincoln und Hamlin. Vor cau any one doubt that the friends of Lin 4“ and Hamlin would prefer Dell and Everett t> either Dreckinridge and Lane or Douglas and Johnson.” The Journal is on the dividing line between tho free and the slavo State’, and may be presumed to know the temper of the abolitionist*, ft speaks A.V the vend, therefore, when it says that “tho friends of Lincoln and Hamlin would prefer Dell and Everett to either Dreckinridge and Lane or Douglas and Johnson.” Now, this is a pregnant fact, and in relation to it the inquiry will natu rally arise in the mind of every Southern man— why is it ? Surely every effect must have a cause, ami tho cause, in this instance, must, of necessi ty. consist in tome points of agreement between the I’.ell-Kverctt nud the Lincoln-Hnmliu tickets which are not to be found between either of those and either of the others. This coincidence oc curs, first, in the platforms which the two tick ets represent. The BelLEverett platform is “the 1 nion, the Constitution, and the enforcement of the laws.” Huw the Constitution is to be inter preted, is a question which tho platform ignores. The Lincoln-Ilamlin platform declares great at tachment to the Union, so great, indeed, that it scouts and frown upon disunion for any cau*'. — It also, professes fidelity to tho Constitution (with an abolition construction) and, as a co rollary. insists upon the enforcement of Consti tutional laws. Tho coincidence exists, secondly, to a partial degree at least, in tbo Lincoln-Hamlin party and the recorded views of Messrs. Dell an 1 Kvcrett on tho subject of slavery. Mr. Everett is classed among the moderate abolitionists who are in fa vor of leaving the question alone in the States, but want it abolished w erever Congress has jurisdiction. Mr. Dell has been in public life a long time, and, in a large majority of cases, has acted with the enemies of the South. What wonder, then, that they should find favor with tho abolitionists ? Tbo wondor is, that Southern journals should boastiugly parade the fact. Communicated. Banner Presented at Stiver-Uon. F.ditort of the Times : The Silver Run Guards were presented with a beautiful Danner by tho ladies of Silver Run and vicinity, ou Friday the 2ith itist. The Danner was tho finest silk, with the coat of arms of the State on one side, and on the other was the great Southern motto:— “Equality in the Union or Independence out of it,” also a largo Eagle in tho centre with fifteen golden stars above it. and a streamer in its beak, with the inscription of “Southern Rights.” At the bottom, was Silver Ruu Guards. Tho Flag was presented by Miss Maria Hol land in behalf of tho ladies, and accepted by Capt. Cook Lewis, for thccompauy. The address of Miss Hollaad was delivered with the utmost composure of mind, and filled with that true patriotic sentiment that character izes the noble hearts of the 1 adieu of our country. The emphasis she placed ot r consigning the ban ner to those brave hearts and strong arms in the time of trial, was thrilling, and you could plainly sec a determination on the part of every man in ranks to carry out the charge of the ladies. The reception addross by Capt. Lewi, was one of those true, dignified appeals to every loyal Southern heart in behalf of otir dear sunny South. He premised, in the name of the Silver Run Guards, never to allow this to be the banner of the enemy as long as ono of the corps shall be able to *tand and defend it. The whole concluded with a sumptuous re past and drilling of tho Guards. 1 pon the whole, it is a day long to bo remembered by those pres ent, but dear Captain, knowing you take a great interest in the military of our country, I submit the ad reuses to you, and hope you will publish them.

Wo ore not conversant with the political dissensions of the day, but do not the ominous shake* of wise heads tell its some thing f Have we not heard there wai a cloud rising which threaten* to overspread and dark en tho Southern horizon f And when the deafening thunders shall have burst over our head*, there will be a task for you to perform. To your brave hearts and strong arms, we en trust the guardianship of this token of our confidence in your patriotism. Gentlemen of the Silver Ruu Guards! Your wives, your mothers, and your friends have presented this to you. And will you ever suf fer tho enemies of this our free and sunny land tp bear it from you, a* a trophy of their victory, and your defeat / The cau*e in which you are engaged is a holy one. The rights, the home*, the salvation of our common sec tion arc involved. The freedom that Wash ington fought for, must le preserved. Then, accept this banner with the motto inscribed, Southern flights—Equality in the Union or independence out of it. And should the worst come, and grim visage war Hood our land with blood and carnage,that ter, emulating the spir it of our glorious and patriotic revolutionary mothers, will present to you the sword of jus tice. and send you forth from our homes to meet the coming conflict, praying the God of battles who crowned the victorious arms of our Unloved Washington, will still smile upon this our glorious Union. -When the thick dark smoke of the battle field shall encircle your forms, and the loud booming cannon toll the death knell of bright eyes forever closed, and brave hearts forever stilled, may victory perch herself upon this standard. Hut should it be otherwise, should all fall, may this banner be tho winding sheet of him who falls last (apt Lewis’s Kepi): Hiss 3/aria Holland tl Ladies: Allow me in behalf of tho Silver Run Guard*, ► > return tboir many kind thanks and apprecia tion af the handsome gift that you have just be stowed upon them.

It is useless to go over here the long list of heroes whose renowned deeds will ev er live to perpetuate their names, but connoie -urselvos with the happy thought, that there once lived those, who had the true interest of their country at heart and transmitted a land of inde pendence to an apparently ungrateful posterity.

Time was, when, like tho first approach of vice, it excited horror, but, like familiarity it self, has not only diminished its offtnnivenes>.s, but rondoroil it to a very great extent, an object ot desire. “Liberty and union, ono and ittsopuru ble,” were the words of him, whoso wisdom had placed him among tho first in tbo counsel* <>f the nation. Uut alas, the voice of Webster can be bat faintly heard, dying away amid the hideous mysteries of tho post.

Our fore fathers transmitted to us a country unimpaired and free from an oppression. They left t:.* a compass by which to direct our course, that greatest of all political productions, the grout American Constitution. They left us in the full enjoyment of equal rights, and entiled upon for a while by sweet fortune, we moved and acted with entire unity — of freedom and independence.

This, therefore, was tho “begin ning. ’ Did Mr. Doll fight ngainst tho doctrine then ? Ho did net. Tho clause iu that hill which, the Opposition charges, embraced the principle of squatter sovereignty, is tho amendment of Judge Douglas, which doc laros, “it being tho true in - kw and meaning of this act” Ac.

If you have no objection, 1 will publish your reply to this communication. Very respectfully, your ob'thcrv’t, G W. GAYLE. Hon. Bi:n Edwakdh Grey, Selma, Ala During the progress of measures taken (from 1847 to J 8. r l)to secure the formation and adop tion of a now constitution for Kentucky, very great excitement prevailed throughout that State, originating principally from the active und most energetic efforts of tbo “Gradual Emancipation party,” whose object it was to shape the now eou -tilulion so that at some future time, slavery might I cease to exist in our Stato. I have been personally acquainted with Major Dreckinridge for more than twenty years, und, un til recently, tmvor heard it intimated that he hud, at uny time, to any exteut, or in any manner, over sympathized with the“ Gradual Emancipationists.” I am satisfied that the charges which you say are “circulated - ttensively iu {southern nowrpH pers,” are wbob ct founded, for my active par ueipation (during the period to which your not.’ refers,) in the pi.t l affairs of Kentucky, and tho unparalleled ox .nentlhen existing, made m*‘ familiar with the sentiments, relative to tbo**** questions of *uch angry controversy, of, l think, every prominent politician in our State. 1 wan elected to the Senate in 1847 re-elected in An gust, 1840, and in Novemoer, 1850, was elected Lieutenant Governor, and wa** President of tin* Senate during the session of ISjO- ’sl, tho enact ments of which session put into operation th** (State Government under, and in accordance with the provisions of the now constitution, and M jor Dreckinridge was also n member of the Legis lature, during a portion of my (Senatorial term lie and 1 again served together n.*< member* of Congress from 1.851 to March, 1855. It is probable the charges referred l< result : from misapprehension, originating in the fact. that Rev. Robert J. Dreckinridge -then ;i r*i ---i dent of Lexington, Ky.,—a gentleman of aery great ability—one ol tho ablest writers and most eloquent public speakers in Kentucky, and who was, at that time,one of the most prominent lea ders of tho “Emancipationists.” To your second inquiry I can respond about as ; satisfactorily ns if it had reference to someone ■ of the many planters with whom I atu acquaint cd in your comity of Dallas; for I of ‘course, nev er examined Dio list of his taxable property, nor read a bill of sale convoying to Mr. Breckinridge a title to a negro, but that he does, arid lm * ail ; his lifo, owned negroes, I have not a doubt. Hud it been that aci.iVn of Kentucky, occupying the i irigh and distinguished Hociaj and political poni- I tion so long'occupied by Hon.

This gentleman recently delivoted a speech to the citizens of Troy, New York, in which he took occasion thus to represent tho position of tho Southern Democracy “The sectional party at tho South demands that all tho poworand patronage of govern mont shall bo pat into tlicir hands, to enable them to force the institution upon the people of the Territories who do not want it.” We know that tho necessities of an advocate sometimes require him to venture closely upon the limit which divides truth from falsehood, but, certainly that cause is bad, and merits the repro bation of all honest minds, which requires its ad herent to declare so palpable and deliberate an untruth as is contained in the übovo quotation. Deliberate it must be, for no man in tho Union has had a fa.rer opportunity to know that such never hns been tho “demand” of any party, or any individual, in the Southern States, than Mr. Douglas. The declaration of tho principle has never been uttered, and he know it, and wo give him credit for sufficient intelligence to perceive that it is not tho consequence of any position as sumed. No man in the South is foolish enough to believe that slavery can be “forced” upon any people who do not want it, und we hope the number is small of thoso who cannot soo that un friendly . squatter legislation may exclude it from n Territory vbither it might go if the slaveholder I'dt thut tlto protection of his government was over him. Tho South contends thus tbo fi rat ad ders in a Territory, whether organized or not, shall not determine theobaraoter of the domestic institutions of tho future State, but that tho Southern man with his slave, and tho citizen of of (ho north with whatever property he may have, shall have tho right to mako tho Territory their home and be protected in the enioyment of their property so long us the Territorial couditton exists—protected, while unorganized, by Con gress; after erganized, by the Territorial Leg islature —the paid agent of Congress. If tho lat ter fail of Us duty : if it perlorm not tho object of its agency, its authority shall be revoked and Congress shall institute other means for the protection of property. Does this look like “forcing” slavery upon an unwilling people?—* Shame upon the man whb thus perverts the truth for a little personnl advantage! Thr Canvass in Missouri Mr. ((rei n's Position. For some weeks wo have noticed a statement ‘going the rounds,” that Senator Green of Mis souri, had deserted the true Democracy, and was openly advocating tho cause of Douglas und Johnson. Thu character und political antece dents Rf Air. Green gavo the lie to the statement, but it has been so industriously reproduced by the Douglas organs, and devoured with such lus ty greed by the Opposition press, that many cred ulous Democrats had begun to credit tho fabrica tion. Truth is at last vindicated, and an end has com© to tho vain boasting of thoso who have re tailed the bold imposture. Tho following, which wo tiikofroin the Boston Post, of tho 26th ult., shows Ao real position of that tried, faithful and able opponent of squatter sovereignty : D. F. Mussie. Dcmccratic candidate for Secre tary of Stato; J. P. Knott, Democratic candidate for Attorney General, and A. W. Alorrisou, Dem ocratic candidate for Slate Treasurer, have ull declared for Breckinridge. No circumstance in the present canvuvs in Missouri is more gratify ing und encouraging limn the heartiness and energy with which Senator Green has devoted himself to the cause of Dreck inridge and Lane, lie is almost cuustuutly upon the stump, and is dealing such blow - iu their be half us no other ohumpiou could deal with such effect. We quote the following from an imperfect -ketch of a speech of his at Chillieothe on the 17 th : “Mr. Green then referred particularly to the principal object of his speech, the unfortunate >[>iit in the Democratic ranks, by which two sets of distinguished gentlemen were presented for the highest sutfiages of the party. For himself, Mr. (. hud most strenuous y urged upon the leaders iu Alissouri the paramount duty of a harmonious compromise iu the formation of State und county tickets—advice that was scouted and repudiated by the arrogated and dictatorial Dcuiocrutio’or gun, the Missouri Republican, which journal blindly chose to jeopardize tho safety und success of ull local interests by forcing the Frueideutmi distraction into tho State and county elections. I his, said Mr. Green, is the more unfortunate a* l, und sll observant persons, are convinced that Missouri is to be the battle-giound of the coming contest. The Republican leaders ee this, and are training every nerve to curry tho ‘Key of the West,'confident that., as the south or the North achieve that triumph, the result ot tne Presiden tml contest is determined.’ Mr. Green depreca ted All latter and uncharitable fuciiug, which could only result in driving the divided organ) ulion wider asunder, and in regard to tho rival Presidential noininocs, lie expressed his opiniou that neither was the regularly nominated candi • bite’ but of the two, alter ulluding to their re pective merits and principles, ho unhositutiDgi) preferred the champion of the Sou h, and declar ed that, if the only ono, be should veto for John G.

The usual practice when a nominee acquire* a two-third vote is for those otherwise voting to ask leave to change their vote for unanimity; but at l!a timore, when Mr. Chairman Cushing retired in disgust trum the scene, Mr. Tod pnt the ques tion for uyes, but omitted tho nooa altogether.’ (Applause.] Here Gen. Clark denied that tho iioes wore not called, when Mr. Green loft it ns a question of veracity between his informant, Mr. Wilkes, und the General, unless the General chose to hold him personally responsible, in which cuso ‘he wits on band.’ [Great appluuse.) But Mr. Green denied any intention to vilify Judge Doug las, saying we must take the question as we find it, and if any man thought Air. Douglas the best man to repel the encroachments of the North, he should not quarrel with him, though the speaker very much preferred to trust the principles, pa triotism, and prudence of John C Dreckinridge [GrcaLapplßitse.] He earnestly defended our candidates from the charge of di-'unionists, and pertinently hinted at the beam which prevented Douglas eyes from seeing that hateful qualify in the well known character of their Vice Prosiden liafl candidate, IJer-rbel V.

[Applause.] Mr. Green then referred ut length to the unhitp by idiosyneracy of Mr. Douglas, who, more than any other man in the country, bad for many years kepi all parties distracted with tbo ever lasting nigger question, never allowing it to stay rettb-d, uo matter what efforts or sacrifices were made by others t ° effect its quietus, touching in tho review, in a most masterly manner, upon eve ry point in tho Congressional history of the‘Lit tle Giant,’ arriving at the conclusion that it all afforded no good roeson why he or any other man should be bound to vote for him in prefer ence to tho noble standard bearer of the rurty, nominated by the National Convention at Balti more. Mr. Green ulluded, iqore in sorrow than in anger, to the inconsistencies, tergiversation*, and radicalism of Mr. Douglas, and expressing an opinion that he could not carry a single State, declared it hisbeliof that in consequence of hav ing pressed his famous obnoxion* measures ho _wum tho woukust man that could have boon nom inated.

Tho day waa very hot, tho thermometer standing at loti F., in the allude, and a high Houth-wesi wind biowing.—- Tho fire wus first discovered in front of Peak’s new drugstore, on the west side of the square, and eouuuued to spread rapidly until the whole north side was consumed, nud ono half of the east side together with all the buildings on Afah -st., oast ot tho square, and west of tho Crutchfield House. Several other buildings were consumed, with the loss of dry-good*, <to., in all of them. Ou Monday, tho next day, the house of John J. Eaketts, one utile from tho town was fired. On Wednesday tho handsome establishment of E. P. Nicholson wus fired, but dinoovered in time to arrest the flames. On Thursday, the stables, out Imuses, grain and oats belonging to Crlll Miller, Esq., eight mites from Dallas, were destroyed by fire. Allof huso were so plainly the work of an incendiary, that suspicions were excited, and rev cral white men and negroes were arrested and un derwent tho examination. This led to the detec tion of a most diabolical plo* to destroy the coun - try. The scheme was laid by a master mind,and conceived with nfernul ingenuity. It was deter mined by certain abolition preachers who were expelled from the country last year, to de vastate with lire und assassination, the whole of Nor hern Texas, and when the country was re duced to a helpless condition, n general, revolt of tho slaves ai led hy white men from the North, and many in our mida*, was to come off’ on the day of Election in August. The object of firing the town of Dallas, was to destroy tho arms of the Artillery company, ammunition aud provision known to ho collected here; to destroy the stores throughout, the country containing powder and lead—burn the grain and thus reduce the coun try to a state of utter helplessness. Wbe this was accomplished, assistance wus expected from Indiunsaml Abolitionists. Many otlur places have already been fired, Denton, Pi lot Point, Belknap, Gainesville, Black-jack Grove, some stores iu Kaufman and Navarro, Waxn- Itachie and other place.** hat Ido not now re member. Each county lmd a special Superin tendent, a wbite man, and each county i* laid off into districts under the supervision of a white man, who controls the action of the negroes in that district. The negroes are not permitted to know what in doing outside of their immediate sphere of action. Alany of our most prominent citizens were to be assassinated, when they made their escape from the burning houses. Arms havo boon discovered iu possession of negroes, and the whole plot revealed, for a general in surrection aud civil wur at the August election. I write in haste, wo sleep upon our urins, and the whole country is deeply excited. Blunt and McKinney, the abolition preachers, were expec ted here ut the head of a large force at that time. You had better issueoxtras concerning these fact* and warn the couutry of tho dangers .that threat en it. Wo aro expecting the worst, and do not know what an hour tuny bring forth. Do the best you can for us. Wo have no printing press and cun do nothing iff-that line. We may have to call on tho lower counties fur assistance—no one can'tell. All is confusion, excitement and distrust. 1 will writ** again. There were never such times before. Yours in haute, CJIAS. R. PRYOR. VOICE OF THE PEOPLE. INDIANA. Tbo Columbus News, published iu tho third congressional district of Indiana, having been attacked by rotue of its cotomporartes, for not taking a position us yet iu the presidential con tost, Rays in reply : “Should Breckinridge*, und Lane have an elec toral ticket in Indiana, wo ehall support thorn.— If not, we shall support uny don: ; *rat in order to defeat Lincoln, or rather the pi nciples be ad vocates.

Hi* name will prove a mill-stone around the neck of the Douglasitc*. for every body regards him as one of tha rare class of men who unerringly iu lieate tbo right of every question by always ta king tho wrong one. There is not a more infal lible index living than his foro-flnger, if you will lie sure to take tho course opposite to the uue he points to.” The Nashville Union nnd American says: “The Bolivar (Term.) Democrat comes to us ihis week with the Breckinridge instead of the Douglas flag flying at its mast-boua. The former editor announces that he bn* retired from the po litical department of the paper which he has i laced in the hands of Louis M. Brown, Esq., du mig the campaign. “I .u* have two Democratic papers deserted .Mr. Dougin* since his nomination, leaving only three to udvorate hi* election, while twenty/tie advocate the election of Dreckinridge.” On the 21st, a great mass meeting took place at Gtrensville, where Hon.

Tbo Dreckinridge and Lano movement gathers strength daily in ulf part* of this State and throughout tho great West ami the Union. In counties where, three weeks since, wc were told (here was not a single supporter of the Ureckin ridge and Lane ticket, wo have largo lists ot sub scribe rs, and loiters of the iuu*t cheering charac ter, announcing the names of tho most promi m*tit of the democracy wheeling into line, and of townships, tho sentiment iu their favor is fifty to one. The worl: goes bravely on. The executive committee of the democracy of Muskingum have culled a mooting of all who de sire to cat their votes for Breckinridge aud Lane, to meet at tho Court House in Zanesville, ou Saturday, tho -It h of August, to elect seven dele gates to the Rtaio Convention to be hold in Co lumbus on the 7th of August.

It says : “On all side* we hear of men deserting tho sinking ship ofDouglas, and backing down from their premature committals to tho Douglas aud Johm-on ticket. Many worthy democrats took the Dougin* chute without consideration and from a misapprehension of tho reul facts. They thought that Douglas wa* tho regular democratic nominee, and they wore therefore disposed to go for him, notwitlretanding they do not endorse his principle*; but since they have learned that ho was not regularly nominated-—that he never did, and never could, got two-thirds of tho National Convention—they arc coming out for their real tav rite, the gallant Mr. Breckinridge, of Ken tucky. “Others who have not yet taken the back track aro preparing to do so, ami before another month wo expect to herald the fact thut tbo Missouri democracy area unit for Breckinridge and Lane.
