T HE MERITS OF this
Plow over others, for
tho cultivation of both Cot
ton and Corn aro many, but
only its loading merits: With four wings,
two small and two largo, it can be converted
into Seven different Plows, all of which aro
very necessary for tho cultivation of dif
ferent crops. And auothor very important
feature is durability. A Plow oomploted
will last a man from two to five years, accord
ing to tho soil he cultivates, and will only
cost about Throe Dollars to put it up. An
Agency will soon bo established in Romo,
and then planters will bo invited to .call and

RESIDENT DENTIST,
R ESl’ECTFU I,LY informs his friends, and
the public generally, that he continues
tbe practice of DENT1STR Y in all its branch -
cs, nnd has fitted up an office, over the store
of McGuiro A Pinson, whore ho is prepared
to execute ail operations appertaining to Den
tistry, in the most approved manner.
Ho would also call tbe particular attention
of those in want of Artificial Work, to his sn-
perior stylo of teeth, set on gold plate ; for
beauty, strongth and life-like, appcaeance,
they are not surpassed. As an impression has
boon made that my prieos for dontal opera
tions are higher than tho usual run ofDrn-
tists, I beg leave to say that they are tho same
as charged by Dentists at Augusta, Macon
and Savannah. For Artificial Work myehar
ges aro as follows:
Entire Sots Upper and Lower frora$100 to $25k
Half Sets, Upper or Lower, from 60 to 150
Temporary Sots, Upper and Lower, 26 each.
Partial Sets in proportion to the above.
As I am well posted in all the late improve
ments of tho day, I feel confident that I can
meet tbe wants of all who may need the ser
vices of a Dentist, and if references aro want

ses of nature, I can give thorn in abundance,

Hon. J. C. Brcokinndge’a Letter of
Acceptance.
Washington City, July 6th, 1860.
Dbar Sib I havo your letter Of the
23d ultimo, by which I am officially in
formed of my nomination for the office
of -President of the United States by
tbe Democratic National Convention
lately assembled at Baltimore.
The circumstances of thiB nomination
will justify me in referring to its person
al aspect.
I have not sought or doalred to be
placed before the country for the office
of President. When my name was
presented to the Convention at Charles
ton, it was withdrawn by a friend in
obedience to my expressed wishes. My
views had not ohanged when the Con
vention re-assembled at Baltimore; and
when I heard of the differences which
occurred there, my indisposition to be
conneoted prominently with the canvass
was confirmed, and expressed to many
friends.
Without discussing tho occurrences
which preceded the nominations, and
which aro or soon will be understood by
the oountry, I have only tosay that 1 ap
proved, as just and necessary to the pres
ervation of the national organization
-and the sacred right of representation,
the action of the Convention over which
you continued to preside; and thus ap
proving it, nnd having resolved to sus
tain it, 1 feel that it does not become
mo to seleot the position I shall occupy,
nor to.shrink from the responsibilities
of the post to which I have been
assigned. Accordingly I accept the
nomination from a sense of publio du
ty, as 1 think, uninfluenced in any
degree by the allurement of ambi
tion.
I avail myself of this occasion to say
that the confidence in-my personal ana
public character, implied by the notion
of the Convention, will always be grate
fully remembered, and it is but just
also to my own feelings to express my
gratification at the association of my
name with that of my friend Qen. Lane,
a patriot and a soldier, whose great ser
vices in the field and in council entitle
him to tho gratitude aud confidence of
his countrymen.
The resolutions adopted by the Con
vention have my cordial approval.—
They are just to all parts of the Union;
to ail our citizens, native and naturaliz
ed ; and they form a noble policy for
any administration.
The questions touching tho rights of
persons and property, which have of
late been much discussed, find in these
resolutions a constitutional solution.—
Our Union is a confederacy of equal
sovereign States for the purposes enu
merated in the Federal Constitution.—
Whatever the common government
holds in trust for all the States, must
be enjoyed equally by each. It con
trols the Territories in trust for all the
States. Nothing loss than sovereignty
can destroy or impair the rights of per
sons or of property. Tho Territorial
governments are subordinate and tem
porary, and not sovereign ; hence they
cannot destroy or impair the rights of
persons or property. Whilo they con
tinue to be Territories, they ore under
the control of Congress; but the Corv
stitution nowhere conferson any branch
of'the Federal Government the power
to discriminate against the rights of the
States or the property of their citizens
in the Territories. It follows that tbe
citizens of all the States may enter the
Territories of the Union with their prop
erty, of whatever kind, and_ enjoy it
during the Territorial condition, with
out let or hindrance, either by Congress
or by the subordinate Territorial gov
ernment.
These principles flow directly from
the absence of sovereign^ in the Terri
torial governments, and from the equal'
ity of the States. Indeed, they are es
sential to that equality, which is and
ever has been the vital principle of our
Constitutional Union. They nave been
settled Legislatively—settled judicially
—and aro sustained by fight reason.—
They rest on tho rock of the Constitu
tion—they will preserve the Union.
It is idle to attempt to smother these
great issues, or to misrepresent them by
tho use of partisan phrases, which are
misleading and delusive. The people
will look beneath such expressions as
“Intervention,” “Congressional Slave
Code,” and the like, and will penetrate
to the real question involved. The
friends of Constitutional equality do
not and never did demand a “Congres
sional Slave Code” nor any other code
in regard to property in the Territories.
They hold tbe doetrine of non-inter
vention by Congress or by a territorial
Legislature, either to establish or pro
hibit slavery, but they assert (Justified
by the highest judicial tribunal ib the
Union) the plain duty of the Federal
Government in all its departments, tq
secure, when necessary, to the eitzensl
of all the States the eryoyment of their
property in the common territories, as
everywhere else within its jurisdiction
The only logioal answer to this woulr
seem-to be, to. claim sovereign povre
for the Territories, or to deny that fcfr
Constitution recognises property in th<
services of negro slaves, or to deny tba
such property can exist. Inexorable
logic, which works its steady way
through clouds and passion, compels
the country to meet the Usue. There
is no evasive middle ground. Already
the signs multiply of a fanatical ana 1
growing party wnich denies that under
their'OonstUution, or by any other law,
slave property can exist; and ulti
mately the struggle must home betwOea,
(his party and the National' Domoora-
S r, sustained by all the other conserve-
ve elements in the Union. .
1 think it will be impossible fbv a
candid mind to discover hostility to the
Union or a taint of sectionalism in the
resolutions adopted by (he Convention.
The Constitution and the Union repose
on the equality of the states, which lies
like a broad foundation .underneath
our whole political structure. As 1
construe them, the resolutions .simply
assert this equality. They demand
nothing for any State or section that is
not cheerfully conceded to all (he rest.
It is well to remember that the chief
disorders Which have af&ioted our coun
try, havo grown out of the violatiOhof
State equality; and that as long as
this great principle has been respected,
we have bean blessed With -hammy -.
and peace. Nor will, if be easy to per-
mode the country that r&6ltttiobs are
sectional which command the supportof
a majority of the States, and are m»-
proved by the bone and body of the
old Democracy, and by a vast mass of
conservative opinion everywhere, with
out regard to party.
It has been necessary, more than
once in our history, to pause and sol
emnly assert the true character of this
Government. A memorable instance
oocurred in the struggle which ended
the oivil revolution or 1800. The . Be- •
publicans of that day, like the Democ
racy of this, were stigmatized to dis-
unionists; but they' nobly conduoted
the contest under the Constitution, and
saved our political system. By a like
(^institutional struggle it Is intended
now to assert and establish the equality
of the States, as the only basis of union
and peace. When this otyeot,. $o na
tional, so Constitutional, so just, shall
be accomplished, the last cloud will dis
appear from the American sky, and
with common hands ;and hearts the
States and the people will unite to de
velop the resources of the whole coun
try, to bind it together with the bonds
of intercourse ana brotherhood, and to
impel it onward in its. great career.
The Constitution and equality of the
States: These are symbols of everlast
ing Union. Let these be the rallying
criesthe people.
I trSst that this canvass will be con
ducted without rancor, and that tem
perate arguments will take the place of
hot words and passionate accusations.—
Above all, I venture humbly to hope,
that divine providence, to whom we
owe our origin, our growth, and all
our prosperity, will oontinue to protect
our beloved counfry against all danger,
foreign and domestic.
I am, with great respect, your friend,
‘John C. Bbzckinbidoe.
Hon. C. Cushing, President of the
Democratic National Convention.
or Fobtcnk. — Only
twenty years ago last November, Louis
Napoleon (the present^Emperor, of
France,) left the St. Charles Hotel
without paying his board bill. In the
Hew Orleans Bee of November 20th,
1839, appeared the following account of
the “noble Count’s” departure from
that city.
“Count' Louis Napoleon Bonaparte,
whose arrival in thiB pity was announc
ed in several of the papers, has, left
New Orleans in Ugh dudgeon, and for
, ust reason. -He was yesterday morn-
ng informed by thejproprietDrs of the
St. Charles Hotel, that it was custo-
~K gentlemen traveling without
S e, (the Count was splendidly
;din that way'for a man of bis
titular demensions) to pay for their
board in advance, whereupon the fol
lowing dialogue transpired:
“Count—My name is sufficient guaran
tee for my bill.”
“Publican—Tour name Count, is a
very good name, but it won’t buy
market.”
“Count—Make out my hill.”
"Publican—It shall be done.”
The olerk thereupon presented the
bill, made out in the name of Count L.
N. Bonaparte.
“My name,” said the Count," “is
Louis Napoleon Bonaparte—I wish it
so stated in full on the account.”
A second biU was made out, and the
entire name written out in lair legible
letters. * - -
“Mynamo,” said the Count, “is Louis
Napoleon Bonaparte, Prince of 8egora,
Kamschatka, and other dependencies
—say so in the bill," responded the
sprigof nobility.
“I will not make out a third bill,”
said the olerk.
“Then I'll be d-dif I -pay itl” said
t ExceBenoy, ond forthwith absquat-
