A Vote of Thank*.
Every Democratic press and individual in
Georgia, and wherever el-e the Knynirer may
circulate, should express their obligation! to that
journal for publishing, in full, the speech of John
Bell upon the bill to abolish the slave trade in the
District of Columbia. Our thanks are unreserv
edly tendered. The records of political warfare
will be vainly searched to find a similar instance
of magnanimous self-sarrifico. What could our
neighbor have been thinking about? It has cer
tainly given up all hope, and is growing despe
rato. In view of its generosity wo forgive It for
that tumming up —a fa Watt*. It would be an
easy matter to show the hiatus between its prom
ises and its conclusions, but who would not de
nounce such ingratitude ? Besides the speech and
comment go together, and we are perfectly wil
ling to let them “take the chances.” Our ad
vice to nil Opposition uion is read that speech ‘
Virginia and Texas are thrown into a
panic even now, by the appearance or even the
suspicion of a handful of men within thoir bor
ders, instigating civil war. Massachusetts and
Vermont defied Briti-h invasion, hacked by trait
ors, thirty years ago.
[Seu?mrd‘u J/itiricl Speech.
Mr. Seward uses ‘the above antithesis to show
the comparative strength and courage of those
States which employ free, and those which cm
ploy *lave labor, Would it not be interesting to
see him cypher out the probable condition of
Massachusetts and Vermont, if they had not been
lacked in their “defence” by this samo “panic
stricken” Virginia- The boasting of the achieve
ments of Massachusetts, in the warfare of inde
pendence, was very pointedly and effectively rid

this city. Ho said, in substance, that Ma-sa
chusetts never fought but one real battle —Bun

culated in pamphlet form. We have a copy in
our possession in that form as well as in our files
of the Banner. Trom that copy we made the
extract which wo publishod in our “History” of
Mr. Bell, “as connected with the publio eervloe.”
We are informed that some of tho supporters of
Mr. Bell in Louisiana nrc denying that he ever
uttered such sentiments. Mr. Bell will not deny
it, and hia organ* here will not deny it. If any
think or charge that these extracts are garbled
or misrepresent Mr. Bell in any way, we call up
on his friend* to republish those extracts iu con

may see where tbe injustice is done.
The Knoxville Register of September 26th,
1855, then a Know Nothing organ, edited by J.
M. Fleming, now a prominent Bell man in East
Tennessee, reported the proceedings of tho Mass
Meeting of the?2d. A preamble and series of
re*olutiona were adopted Tho first, fourth and
ninth resolutions were as follows
First, Americans to rule America, by which
i<: moan? that Americans shall make and execute
our laws and fill a 1 office? of honor and profit,
both at homo and abroad.
Fourth. Hostility to the assumption of pow
er by the Fope of Rome, through his Bishops,
Prelate?, Priests and Ministers, of the Catholic
Church a? Anti-Republican in principle, and
dangerous to the liberties of (be people.
Ninth. Our National Administration Ly its
general course of official conduct, together with
the Papal power of this and other countries, de
serves and should receive the united condemna
tion of tbe American people.
The Register in It? report thus ppake of Mr.
Bell:
•'Hon. John Hell, whose name ia n tower of
strength to any cause, next appeared upon the
°tAnd, and entered into a calm, yet bold, mas
terly and fearless defence of the American party,
but u threatening cloud coming up -utdenly be
wa* forced to deter his remark.”- und the crowd
dispersed. At night a brilliant display of trans
parencies fignalued the regathering of Bam’s
iorces iu front of the Court House, when Col.
P.ell resumed his speech. His entire speech was
more than two hours s in length and wo regret
that our space will not admit of a moro extended
notice. We are assured, however, that we will
yet have the pleasure of publishing it, and then
wc hope every voter in the State will ponder :
well his arguments.
Thjij who charge John Hell with luke-wartn
nets in the American cause do both the cause
and the man injustice. Wo have not yet heard
a moro abie and tealou.-* defense of the Americau
principles in every particular than his. After
defending the party on the foraign and Catholic
point*, be dwelt with great ability upon the slave
ry question. With an eye that companses the
nation at a glance, and the tagacity of a true
statesman, who rests not with the appearance
of the present, but contemplate* the probable
events of the future, he hesitated not ia declaro

/ relative to Mexico.
The Mexican imbroglio is beginning to assume
a serious aspect, and Mr. McLane has been di
rected to return at once to bis post. Ho left for
New York lsit evening, and will sail in the
•team corvette Fawnee for Vera Cruz on the
15 th instant.
Benor Tsvara has bod several interviews with
the President on the subject of tho relations be
tween his government and Mexico. He has no
tified our government of tho intentions of Spain,
which Power disclaims all intention of interfer
ing in the complicated questions between the sev
eral parties struggling there for the supremacy;
but Benor Tasaara distinctly ssys that the claims
Sp*ir, holds must be liquidated, and if not she
will enforce their liquidation. No hostile dem
onstration against Vera Cruz will be mode before
the Ist of Do-ember, when, If the claims have not
been paid, the Spanish fleet will receive orders
to set.
It is apart of the plan that Miratnon shall at
tack the city on the land side at the same time,
and thus Spain, although apparently not interfer
ing in the domestic questions of Mexico, will, by
so timing her demands, contribute essentially to
the overthrow of Juarez. The recent reported
defeat of Miramou changes the asoect of these
calculations, for he may not be able to march
against Vera Cruz.
Jhr Spanish Minister will hava another con
ference with our government on his return from
New York, after which the President will deter
mine what policy to pursue, and Mr. McLane’s
instruct ion will be completed in time for bis an
ticipated departure. In diplomatic circles the
question creates considerable talk, and much de
sire ia manifested to know what court* the gov
ernment will pursue. _
Mr. DoroLAS’s Bpixches.— The Albany Jour
nal, Wm. H. Beward’s “higher law” organ, is
much pleased with Mr. Douglas’s speeches It
says
“Mr. Lincoln, if oalled out by bis friends, would
have given expression to these sentiments. They
are the sentiments of the Republican party. In
all the ‘slavery agitations* is Congress, since
1850, Republicans have aoted on the defensive.—
Slavery has been the aggressor.”

The Disruption of the Democratlr Party.-Who
Did It?
Mr. Douglas in all his speeches dwells with
great emphasis upon the disruption of tho Na
tional Democratic Convention, and labors to
throw all the responsibility of that event upon
those who seceded from that body. Charging
them with the desire to eleot Lincoln rather than
the nominee of tho National Democratic Con von
tion, and the Douglas orators generally taking
their cue from their lender, reiterates the same
charge. Let its examine thi? charge. Mr, Doug
las wrote a letter to his friends in the Baltimore
Convention directed to Richardson and Rich
mond, requesting them to withdraw hia name
from before the Convention, and preservo tho
Democratic party if they could unite the Con
vention in the nomination of a candidate holding
the samo views with himself upon the subject bf
slavery in the Territories. This was done on
Thursday before the secession took place on Fri
day afternoon. Here then, is a clear ackaowl
edgeraeut by Mr. Douglas, that his name en
dangered tho integrity of the Democratic party,
and its withdrawal would preservo its integrity
lie was willing to withdraw his namo atul pro
serve the party only upon conditions, that he
should be allowed to dictate to tho Convention
tho character of its nominee
Does any sane man in the In ion doubt that
had Mr. Douglas unqualifiedly withdrawn his
name from the Convention, and left hi* friends to
act independent of his dictation, that the union of
the party would have been preserved The ac
cession which took place at Baltimore was occa
sioned by the reception of bogus and irregular
delegates, to tho exclusion of true and regular
delegations. bogus delegations wero re
ceived for the reason alone that they wero the
friends of Douglas, and it was nee. ary to ro
ceive them to secure hi* nomination. Tho letter
of Douglas above referred to was received before
the vote was takcu upon the contested -cat*, and
had his name beeu unconditionally withdrawn,
tho whole regular delegation.* would have been
received and the disruption avoided. lUd the
name of Douglas been withdrawn there would
have beeti no difficulty in passing tho majority
resolutions, for many of his friends unhesitaling
ly declared that the only rcas a they voted against
them was, that Douglas could not accept a nomi
nation upon them. But with the name of Doin’
lai out of the way, a harmonious nomination
could have been easily made without any change
of Platform, for the Southern delegates were will
ing to take any man upon the Cincinnati plat
form, who hid not given that platform a squatter
•overeignty conitruction and repudiated tho
Dred Scott decision, and no other candidate be
fore tho Convention had taken that position.
Nothing is more clear than that Douglas is re
sponsible for the disruption of the Democratic
party. Ilis friends in the Convention were mere
automatons obeying his instructions and dictates
at implicitly as the subject* of a crown or a ser
vant the orders of his master. Every night .f
the Convention delegations wero sont from Balti
more to Washington to confer with him and get
thoir orders for the next day’s proceedings. If,
then, the disruption of the Democratic party was
a disunion movement, Mr. Douglas is the dis
unionist, for lie and he alone had tho power to
preserve the party, aecordit.g t* hi* own ad
mission.
As well might Gen. Taylor be charged with
tho commencement of Ihe Mexican war, a- the
secessionists with breaking up the Democratic
party.
Tho conduct of Gen. Taylor at Corpus Christ!
was tho inevitable and unavoidable consequence
of the invasion of American soil and American
rights by tho Mexican army ; and the disruption
of tho Dome* ratio party was the inevitable and
unavoidable consequence of the invasion of .South
ern rights by Mr. Doug la with hi? squatter -v
ereign proclamation.
Ilad the Mexican* never invaded American
soil the war had never been commenced. Had
they withdrawn their force3 even after the first
commencement of hostilities, the war would still
hare been avoided. Had Douglas never invaded
the Constitutional rights of tho South by hi.*
squatter sovereign heresy, the Democratic party
would not have been endangered. Had ho with
drawn from the contest when he saw tho inevi
table consequence of his position, according to
his own acknowledgemeni , the party would still
have been preserved.

The Great Democratic Meeting at Lexington
Mr. Brechinridge’s speech
Tho meeting of tho friends of Breckinridge and
; Lane at Lexingtou, Ky., on Tuesday last, in de
! scribed us one of the largest and most enthusins
-1 tic political demonstrations ever witnessed In that
State. Distinguished men from all parte of tho
State and tho adjoiuining States wore in attend
ance, and it is estimated 15,000 to 20,000 persona
were on tho ground when Mr. Breckinridge de
livered his speech, which is pronounced by all
who heard it, t> have been the “nobloet, grand
e t, mo?t eloquent and powerful effort they ever
listened to.” The Louisville Courier says: “Wo
have heard prominent Oppositionists pronounce
it tho best and ablest speoch they ever heard.”—
A Louisville despatch, dated on the evening of
the ;*tb, tho day on which the speech was deliv
ered, says:
“The beat fooling prevails. The Kentuckians
are all confident ot currying the State. Breckin
ridge’s speech was the greatest effort of his life,
and was enthusiastically received. To-night the
sky is lighted with fire works. Speaking at the
Court House by Powell and others. Thousand*
are yet here. .Many of the most eminent men in
the Slate are in the city.”
Wo intend to give this speech in full to our
readers, so soon n* mi authorised and true copy
shall appear, and, for this reason, we have for
borno to publish tho telegraphic synopsis of it,
which have reached us in the Louisville and New
York journal*. These, though Bill of imperfec
tion*, ire accurate enough to show that Mr.
Breckinridge has effectually spiked the guns of |
emancipation, squatter sovereignty and disunion,
which have been levelled at him. Ho shows by
“confirmation, strong ns proofs of holy writ,”
that the party with which he act -, is par ej ed-
Icme the I uion party, because it is the only par
ly which declares it* determination to maintain
the great principles on which tho Union was
founded.

Mr. Bell’s campaign organ nt Nashville, says
the Memphis Avalanche, challenges aucceaaful
controversion of Mr. Bell’s opiniou on tho power
oi Congress to abolish slavery in the District of
Columbia. It sayo
“There ore many respectable lawyer* in Ten

CougrcHß docs not possess this power, let us hear
from them. If no respectoble lawyer will pledge
himself to such an argument, let us hear no more
complaint of Mr. Bell for having expressad the
contrary opinion. It will be mockery and hy
pocrisy.”
Does any onu doubt now that Mr. Bell still ad

of the power of Congress to abolish slavery in

and a few only will be necessary after tho elo
quent addresses you hnro heard from your chair

net, and Mr. Lawrence. Gentlemen, we have
been charged—.Udm <\ Breckinridge nud I have
been charged -theticket which you feel proud
to support has been charged with secession,dis
union and even treason. Tho great party to
which we all belong has been called a disunion
party, a secession party. Now, who with any
common senso can believe thut JohnO. Breckin
ridge, the high-toned, gallant and chivalrous
Breckinridge, the patriot and stutesinan, who
loves the l uion, and who has throughout hi*
life fought so bravely for tho Uniou, ami the
Constitution who, 1 say say, can believe that hr
is disunionist or a sccessslonisl? My friends, as
well might it bo said that a find father desires
the dismemberment and bitter conflicts in hi*
family. Duo statement would bo n* reasonable
us the other. No; Breckinridge is the best of
Union men: and if is a gross lihe! t charge him
with disunion sentiments or designs. No man
would sooner lay down his life f r the Union
than the nohlc Breckinridge. I know him well,
and I say what I know .'t him. And, a to my
self, why, gentlemen, my wholo life gives the lie
to such a charge. No man loves the Union more
than I do; and none would go further or do more
within the power of man to perpetuate it. But,
my friends, if you would preserve (he Union
you must maintain the Constitution, for tlioy are
inseparable. If you would preserve the one you
must maintain the other. The equality of the
States is the principle upon which the confeder
ation was formed, upon which the Union was
made, and without which there would have been
no confederation or l uion.
The equality ..f ttt* State that is the princi
p.e now at issue befitro the country the equali
ty of the States, not partially, not with any res
ervation, bbt in full recognition of the original
compact. In this yoa will see that Breckinridge
and your humble servant uro better Union
men than those who moke the foul charge of
disunlonism against tU, because wo arc for main
taining the Inion upon the principles of tho Con
stitution, strictly and Eddy interpreted, an I not
interpreted in a latUujinariun manner for the pur
pose of political expediency. Arc we not then
the best Union men, f><r the reason that we
would maintain it upon the principles of the
Constitution, while our oiierni* h who make un
founded and base charges against tro would de
stroy the Union by tapping it s very foundations.
And now, ns to the pArty which is identified with
and supports the Breckinridge and Lane ticket.
That party is not a secession or disunion party.
1 am not here to defend the pa. t history td men
who may now support this ticket, nor to .tier ex
cuses f.r or explain away charges against indi
viduals; but 1 maintain that our party is, par
ercellciicr, a Union party. li it werouot, neither
Breckinridge nor I would bo identified with it.
The disunion is t* arc really the.- c would cap the.
foundatioa of tho Constitution by denying or de
stroying the equality of tho States. Preserve in
good faith the original compact of tho equality
ofthe States, and tho equal rights ofthe citizens
of each of tho States in the common Territories,
and every where else where tho flag of those Uni
niteil States floats, and the Union will bo preser
ved to nil time, and this groat and glorious coun
try will fill the most important pages in the his
tory of nations. Lot us be just, deal fairly by c*.

Washington, Aug. 11, 1-rou.
My Dear Sir :— I have received your favor of
the Bth inst., enclosing a printed extract from tin
recent speech of Judge Douglas at Concord. ,
You inform me you expect to bout the t'hurlottes ,
villa Convention, and “would be glad to know
something of tho interview referred to” in that *
speech. According to fhls extract, the Judge ’
state* :
“The President told me if 1 did not obo> him j
and voto to force tho Lccnmpton Con.-Jitutiomij, ,
on the peofde against their will, he would take oil ,
the head of every friend I had in office.”
It is unneco*'ry to quote tho alleged reply .l
the Judge
(Surely there must huvo been nine niMlnkc in
the report of the speech, l cau.-u I never held
any such conversation wiili Judge Douglas, nor
any conversation whatever, a Hording the least
color or pretext for such a statement. It was
not in my nature to addre such threatening
and insulting language to any gentleman. Be
sides, I have not removed one iu ton of his
friends, und not one of hi- ulaiivt-.-. Kveu
among thou® of bis friends who liuvo rendered
themselves prominently hostile to the measures
of the Administration, a majority -till remain in
office.
I might add that I have never held a political
conversation with Judge Douglas on this or any
other suhjoot sinct; the day my first Annual Mes
sage of the th December, 15.,7, was read in the
Senate; and I did not transmit tho Kansu.-* Con
stitution to Congress until the _d February,
IH6B, the question of silvery not having been de
cided by a vote of the people until 21st Deoem
her, 185 V.
Now, my dear sir, in writing thus to you i
have transgressed a rule which I had proscribed
for myself, not to contradict any statements as
ailing my public conduct and character, until
utter the conclusion of my term of office. A state
ment, however, comes with such force from a
Kenator ofthe United State, who i- one of my
Constitutional advisers, and this, too, in a pub
lished speech delivered by him in his canvass for
the highest elective office in the world, that I
deem the present case a proper exception.
Yours, very respectfully,
Janes Buchanan.

as follows:
“The evidences that tho entire Democracy of
Pennsylvania will accept and carry out in the

every mad. In addition to the few wo uro able
to quote to day, we have tho procoodings of coun

inridgo nud Lnue wore first made, tuen of pure
and spotless character?, of sound and unsullied
political record* -upon a platform of principle*
which challenged and received tho sauction and
approbation of all parties nt the South, it socuiod
there could be no material opposition in the
South to their election, and their friends natu -
rally became careless and indifferent for the want
of opposition to stimulate their energies. Tho
[ Opposition parly, the only -organization that
; could furnish any material opposition, having, in
State Convention, only a few day * before boldly
avowed ihe same platform of principle, and
pledged themselves to co-operate with any party
that would adopt them as their creed, left u-, to
all appearance and expectation, without an ene
my in the field. They bad charged the Southern
Democracy with being bound to their Northern
brethren by the cohesivo power of public plun
der, and tauntingly upbraided those who had al
ways boon foremost in vindication of Southern
rights, with treachery and n willingness to *acr:i
fioe Southern rights and Southern honor for the
.sake of the loaves and fishes. And yet, the first
ray of light that beamed upon thoir startled vi
sions through the opposing ranks of tho now di
vided demoaracy, excited thoir long hungry ap
petites with a faint hope that they might now,
perchance, get uuo morsel of government pap for
which they had so long sighed and anxiously wait
ed, and to the amazement and disgust of evory
true Southern patriot, they immediately nban
donod all their former pledges, raised tho cry of
“Glorious l uion,”and denounced ns disunionist
and traitors those who hud exercised tho nerve
and courage to break up their long cherished
party associations in defence and vindication of
Southern rights. Southern equality and Southern
honor.

audience in attendance by Wm. Barnes, one of
tho Vice Presidents. Hie whole epeoch was re
plete with eloquence, second only to Yancey’*.—
llu is perfectly familiar with every topic and
handles a question in a masterly manner. Itl* a
rich and rare treat to listen to one to gifted and
patriotic a* Col. Jackson. Wo ell all long ro
luomher {he musical tones of his thrilling voice,
and wo can truly say that his effort was a
torly one* We shall bo glad to havo him eornoto
tho city again during tho canvass. Ono of tho
excellencies of this gifted man consist* in his
truly classic education, gilded by all tho acoum
plishnu*ntß of polite learning. His declamation
is of the first order.— J)n\lj Locomotive.

as will he seen by the following proviso, which ho
offered in the United States Senate, on tho 21st

tablishing a Territorial Government in Utah :
“Provided, That the Legislature shall havo no

tan the South be starved?
There i* an immense jubilation ut the North
over tho grout graiucrop of tho North-west. 1”
add to tho general ocstacy of Frco-Soildom on
this account, tho most extravagant accounts are
published of the general failure oi tho crops ot
tho South, and tho most confident assurances arc
indulged of the absoluto dependence of our peo
ple upon Northern iavor and production ior tho
means of future subsistence and an escape troiu
actual starvation, These foeliqgs nro too exu
itoraut not to stimulate the pride and aggressive
ness of that people. Tho hostility to .Southern
institutions and the determination to leave no
stone unturned t <• accomplish their overthrow i;.
thus invigorated by thee good of thoir
people, nud their consequent audacity. To dictate
termsof capitulation to a starving people is deem
ed an easy achievement. The .South, they imag
ine, can no longer us-nine the ail’s ot independ
ence and self-reliance. Bay* the New - Y ork Tri
huno:
The South, up t” tin- time, has been burnt up
under a drouth, which ha* cut oil her grain crop.-,
and which will compel her to buy food from tin so
Northern State* from which her fire-outer* haw*
sworn secession if tbuy prove presumptuous
enough to elect a Fioidcot of their own. Thcii
bellies alone are not s'dional. i hi* drouth mu
hardly have destroyed tho grain without at least,
shortening the cotton, so that tho deficiency ot
this year will go far towards equalising tho glut
of the last.
The Chicago Tribune, reproducing various ac
counts from localities in the Bouth, ot the disas
trous effcot of the drouth on tho corn crop, draw.-
from them material forn hurraugue against kin
very, and new incentives for hostility to an insti
tution which cannot protect a people from tho vi
tiation of drouth.
It is quite unneci *ary in this latitude to con
tradict and refute the assumptions upon which
this indecent and diabolical exultation ot tho An
oliliun journals is l> Kufflco it to ;a, that
thia iinitpln will find out noon enough for their
‘eumfort Mill that ..f their creditors, whether tho
South is starving, or in any degree dependent
upou their production. Mere railroad specula
tors unit l.md pr pi •••.* may he aide, with tin
aid of Abolillenlrta, through Hits artlul donee
and exaggeration, to keep up the price of grain,
but tho producer* will discover bow greatly
they have i ceil deluded. Mill the event is nor
without significance and valuable ks.-oiis lor the
South. It should show how important it is that
procuutiou* and provision should be taken aguinst
even a partial dependence, or tho appearance <d
dependence upon other hostile sections of the
country for any of tho essentials of life anil
comfort.
A judicious economy, even under the disad
vantageous circumstances of tlie past season,
might enable our planters to got through the tea
sou without buying the products of other people.
When it is gravely proposed to uso the fact of a
largo purchase and importation of tho product.*
of other State* by the .South, as i} pretext and jus
tification for continued hostility to our politioul
and social institutions —pride as well us a wise
policy should dictate such a husbanding of our re
sources and development of our productive en
ergies as will show theso people, that for every
means of comfortable subsistence, the South in
not only self-reliant, but in addition to the bun
dred of millions which she exports, t give em
ployment to the starving millions of Europe and
the North hundreds -I millions of tho necessa
ries of life, which can bo produced only in the
South: sho has also abundant mentis, soil and
labor, to produce every other article of comfort,
luxury and subsistence, which the highest civil',
zation demands. -.V, (>. Picayune.

The Bell F.vcrett press of tho Kouth have boon

Bell candidate got 891! That is carrying Ar

pretend that there is a chance -f either Bell or
