Tuesday Morning, August 7,1800.
FOR PRESIDENT.
JOHN BELL of Tennessee,
FOR VICE-PRESIDENT.
Edward Everett of Mass,
Breckinridge Endorses Everett
Let no .supporter of Breckinridge in
all the South dare ever again to whis
per a word against the soundness, relia
bility and patriotism of Edward Ever
ett—for Breckinridge himself has most
fully, thoroughly and triumphantly en
dorsed him.
Wo have before us the speech of
John C. Breckinridge, delivered in the
Hall of the Kentucky House of Repre
sentatives, at Frankfort, Deoember 21st
1859—six months ago—by invitation of
the Democratic Legislature of his State.
After boosting of the sounduess of the
Northern. Democracy' on the slavery
question, Mr. Breokinridge adds:
“There is another element at the
North’ not large, but noble and true. It
consists of the scattered cohorts of the
old Whig party, of men like Everett,
Choate, and their associates, whose con
servatism- culture and patriotism rebelled
against the republican alliance. Besides
these, there are many thousands in the
Northern States who seldom attend the polls
and whose voices have not been heard
amidst the clamors that surround them.
To all these let us appeal -, let us sol-
emnly-demand a general revolt of the
virtue and loyalty of the country
against the pernioious principles that
threaten its safety, ana when all the
forces are arrayed in their proper ranks
we shall be able to see what remains to
hope or fear.”
There are Breckinridge’s own words,
testifying that Everett is a “noble and
true” patriot, whose “conservatism,
culture and patriotism rebelled against
the Republican allianoe 1" Ana yet
some of Breckinridge’s whipper-snap
per, simpletonian supporters in _ the
South, are swearing that Everett is an
Abolitionist, unworthy of the counte
nance and support of Southern men !
Keep Breckinridge’s endorsement of
Everett before the people.—Rich. Whig.

act or vote, and until within a few
months ago, repudiated by him ; while
all of the above propositions have been
advocated *by Mr. Bell for years, and
boen endorsed by him in Congress, by
his votes and'speeches, us far back as
1848. Who, then, dare impugn Mr.
Bell’s soundness upon the question of
slavery T ' Who dare question his fideli
ty to the South ? The answer is eosy.
Every Breokinridge paper and speaker
in the Southern States. They have been
commending very highly the honesty of
those Opposition papers that have re
tracted the charge mode against Mr.
Breokinridge of having been an emanci
pationist. Will they put in practice the
same virtue ? The past offers no guar
anty that they will. Their custom has
been, and is, to blacken the character
of. every man outside their party, and

It will
be seen by
n glance at the fig-
Mr. Bell’s Letter to Mr. Watts.
We ask everybody, and especially
those Democratic croakers who com
plain that Mr. Bell ‘has no platform, to
read his letter to Coi. Thomas H. Watts
which may be found on the first page of
this paper. The Convention which nom
inated Mr. Bell, adopted as a platform,
“The Constitution, the Union, and the
Enforcement of the Laws ;” and, in his
letter of acceptance, he referred to liis
past life and public acts as his construc
tion of that platform. Some of his
friends, and among them Col. Watts,
asked of him a more explicit exposition
of his political views upon the questions
now prominent before the people. To
reply to the numerous letters received
by him, would have been a laborious
task. He therefore authorized a compi
lation of “such of his spe&hes and let
ters as have a direct bearing upon the
subjects in controversy j or of such ex'
tracts therefrom, as to leave nothing to
be supplied by further quotations from
them.”
This printed collection he transmitted
with his letter to Mr. Watts. It has
not yet reached us, but we may fairly
infer its “ bearing upon the subjects in
controversy,” from Mr. Watts’ letter
which accompanies Mr. Bell’s.
And, when weconsider that Mr. Watts
refused to endorse Mr. Bell’s nomina
tion, and withheld his support uijtil ho
was satisfied as to his position upon these
important questions, no one will charge
him with being biased or incompetent
to judge of Mr. Bell’s opinions os con
tained in this compilation. Ho lays
down the following propositions as, in
his judgment, distinctly announced by
Mr. Bell:
1. A distinct repudiation of Wilmot
Provisoism.
2. A distinct repudiation of “Squatter
Sovereignty” as long ago as 1848.
3. A distinct announcement that the
Territories are the common property
of the States composing the Union ;
and that the citizens of each State
have the right to go into such Territo
ries, with their propertamf every de
scription, and whilst there to have
protection to property aud persons.
4. That slavery, as it exists among us, is
civilly, morally, and religiously right;
. sanctioned by the Constitution of the
United States, by the Bible, and by
the praotice of men in all ages; and
that it ought to be extended.
urea above that the excess of rain last
year over this is but . 3-100 of an inch,
amounting to little more than a heavy
dew, and scarcely appreciable in its ef
fect upon the crops.
And yet the .corn crop of 1859 was
very good and this year very bad. By
another glance at the figures we find
that tho Temperature this year, during
the montii of July averaged Jive and one
third degrees higher than last year during
the same month. Again we sec that
in 185G, a little more ruin fell than in
1859 or ’60, and the mean Temperature
was 92J, the same as this year. It will
a remembered that the corn crop of
1850 was very short.
Tho inference wo draw from these
fucts is that it is not the drought, but heat
that damages the ccrn crop, literally
burning it up, and by comparing the
quantity of rain and the temperature in
1859and’60 it will be discovered that
the temperature is not necessarily affec
ted by the rain.
In 1857 there was a concurrence of
fine rains, low temperature and an abun
dant corn crop.
What the Democracy has done Acqor-
ding to Democratic Testimony.
Let the honest voters of the whole
country read the following manly con
fessions from leadihg Democrats from
various sections of the Union:
“When I first entered Congress, in
1843, the expenses ot the (Government
were only $30,000,000 per annum. The
country had gone through the okpensive
Mexican War with sixty-three thousand
soldiers in the field, for thirty millions,
and now, in time of peaoe, tno estimates
were seventy-three millionst He believ
ed forty millions an abundance for
tho national expense.”—Hon. A. H.
Stephens.
“This Government, sixty-nine yenrs
of age, scarcely out of its swaddling
clothes, is making more corrupt uses of
monejt, in proportion to the amount col
lected from the people, as I honestly
believe, than any other Government on the
habitable globe."—Hon. Andrew Johnson, of
Tenn.
“I think it is not saying too much to
an try hi
ter and further, in ten years, in extrava
gance, than most other countries have
gone in centuries..—Gen. Shields.
“Before God I believe this to be the
most corrupt Government on earth.”—
Senator Toombs.
“From Tins by-ways and the iiiohivAvs
of the Government,-the Rottenness of
CORRUPTION SENDS FORTH AN INSUFFERA
BLE STENCH 1 WHY ARE THE PEO
PLE SO PATIENT? WHY SLUM
BERS THE INDIGNATION OF THE
DEMOCRACY ?”■—Roger A. Pryor.
Humphrey Marshal.—We beg that
all our Democratic friends, who have
gloried over the enpture of this renegade
Kentuckian, will read the following
scrap of history, which is taken from the
Arkansas State Gazette. Capt. Danley,
the editor, was a delogate to the 'Balti
more Union convention, and is entitled
to confidence:
Of our knowledge we can sny that
Colonel Marshal endeavored toconvince-
members of the Union Convention
which met at Baltimore, that they ought
to nominate Mr. Doughs for the Presi
dency and ignore such Union men ns
Mr. Bell andGen. Houston—saying the
while not one word in fnvyir of Mr.
Breckinridge. Since our Democratic
friends have won this elephant at a raf
fle, wo are willing that they should
rejoice—blit wo beg of them not to
say again that they won him from Mr.
Bell.

in themselves. They would shut their
eyes at midday and swear the Bun had
gone out. But they cannot shut the
eyes ot the people. They will see and
read.
As soon as we receive the compilation
furnished by Mr. Bell, we will publish
it, and our readers can judge for them -
selves whether or not our candidate is
worthy of our confidence and trust.
Weather and Crops.
The following statistical table of the
temperature and quantity of rain that
has fallen, during the month of July
for the past five years, was furnished us
by a gentleman of this place.

Lowest. Mean. Highest. Amt. Rain
Wheat Crop.
The following statement of tho
amount of wheat and flour shipped
from this point over tho Rome Railroad
during the months of June and July
for the last five years, will give some
idea of the shortness of the wheat crop
in • this section of country, including
Floyd, Chattooga and Polk counteies,
Ga., and the Northwestern counties of
Alabama, which export their produce
from this place.
1856 1857 1858 1859 I860
Wheat, bu. 13,797 47,107 14,157 14,470 2,702
Flour, lbs. 30,630 10,020 01,300 53,500 32,000
This great discrepancy will be still
more obvious when, in connexion with
the foregoing, wo take the following
statement for the three months ot Au
gust September, and October of the four
years previous to 1860:
1856 1857 1858 1859
Wheat, bu. 29,557 108,436 72,850 22,880
Flour, tbs. 103,303 35,250 68,800 01,301
For theso same months this year
there will perhaps not be a thousand
bushels of wheat exported, an'd if any
flour it will bo manufactured from wheat
brought to this place. There is not now
wheat enough in this section for seed
and we know of a firm who intend ship
ping to thiB point 10,000 bushels for this
purpose.

sion of the Court in Charleston, John

roe, on two indictments for trading
Where is the platform that has over with n nd selling liquor to slaves, has
been adopted by any party, or set of (been sentenced to a year nnd nine
•i
men, in any section or State, that is bet
ter, sounder, safer for the South than
that f We go further and ask, where is
one as good, os sound, as safe ? It is not
th§ Cincinnati platform. It is not Mr-
Douglas' platform. It is not Mr. Breck
inridge’s platform. ’• The two former
have been repudiated by the South, and
the last, although good enough as far as
it goes, Inks the fourth clause of Mr.
Bell’s platform, and to that extent is
not so good. And further still, the Sece-
ders’ platform, like the Cincinnati plat
form, is a string of resolutions, fixed up
for the exigency .of the times, which
have never, until just before the Con
vention met, been endorsed by the par
ty or their Candidate, by.Congrcssiona
months imprisonment, and to pay a fine
of $2,000.
This penalty is none too severe when
we consider the evils arising from this
pernioious practice. Wo have reason to
believe there are persons in this place
mean enough to bo guilty of it. They
had better take warning in time, or
they will find themselves in the hands
of the law.

Some very important names are an

tho sad experiencics of the sick room;
Mr. New march or. commercial ‘ statist

tistics of literature, &o. 1 dare say
some of these names arc not known to
you in America, but others must be,
and you will see that a very wide and
very interesting range of subjects is laid
down. Many influential foreign dele
gates take part in the discussions, the
results of which cannot fail so be im
portant and valuable. It is always a
good thing to know iiow we stand;
and figures, after all, if honestly collect
ed and fairly set forth, are the best
materials Misjudgement.
Tho Song 6f the Shirt.
The following too biief notice of
Hood’s exquisitely pathetic poem will
be read with* interest. It is from the
published memorials of him, collect
ed and edited by his son and daugh
ter:
“In the Christmas number of Punch
for this year (1843,) appeared the famous
‘Song of the Shirt.’ It was, of course,
inserted anonymously, but it ran
through the land like Wildfire. Paper
after paper quoted it, and it became the
talk of the day. There was no little
speculation as to its author, although
several, I believe Dickens among the
number attributed it at once to its right
source.
“At last my father wrote to one of tho
daily papers and acknowledged it. _ lie
was certainly astonished, nnd a little
amused at its wonderful popularity, al
though my mother had said to him,
when she was folding up the packet
ready for the press: “Now mind Hood,
mark my words, this will tell wonder
fully 1 It is one of the best things you
ever dicl!” This turned out a true
prophecy. It Was translated into
French nnd German; and even I bo-
lievo, into Italian. My father used of
ten to laugh and wonder how they ren
dered the peculiar burthen,
“Stitch, stitch; stitch 1”
and also,
“Steam and gusset and band.”
“It was printed on cotton handker
chiefs for sale, and has met with the us
ual fate of nil popular poems, having
been parodied times without number.
But what delighted, and yet touched
my father most deeply was, that the
poor creatures whose sorrows nnd suf
ferings ho had given sucli eloquent
voice, seemed to adopt its words ns
their own, by singing them nbout the
streets to a rude air of their own adap
tation.”
The Coming Grain Crofs.—The Lon
don Times of the 22d ultimo forbodes a
famine in England, owing to bad
weather and consequent short crops.—
Tho prospect of the grain crops in
France is also said to be unpromising.
On the other hand, the cereal crops in
the United States and Cunndu never
promised better. A larger crop of
wheat than we over had before, by per
haps one-fourth, is now secured, or in
the process of liarvesting. The crops
of buy and oats are also largo, and the
promise of the king cf our cereals—
Indian corn—was never better. Noth
ing short of a large export demand can
keep the price of this abundant cereal
from fulling below remuneration to the
grower. Of the lust year’s crop it is
said that tho large furm cribs of Illin
ois are still nearly full, yet the receipts
at Chicago have averaged over 100,000
bushels a day, from the Illinois canals
and lailroads, through the season.—Hat
