Mr. Bell and Slavery in D. C.
As some of our Democratic friends are
eharging Mr. Bell with having been in
« ror of abolition of Slavery in the Dis-
ct of Columbia, we publish the vote
on the suppression of the Slave trade for
their special benefit, as a reference for
them to use against eaeh other in their
fratricidal war. The Douglasites will
find orthodox Breukinridgers among
the italics, and the Breekinridgerswil*
find Douglas himself in the same cate
gory.
Now, gentlemen, pitch in and give
eaoh other fite, and when you get tired
of that casus belli, come back and we
will give you enough of the same kind
to keep you fully employed from now
until November.
The vote may' be found On page 1830.

Crops and Polities in Middle Georgia.
.We take the following items from a
private letter from a gentleman of
this county, now in Oxford. He says,
“The few rains, limited both in quan-
^^^de^tent^have parti illy redeem-
. crops of corn. In Putnam, Mor
gan and Newton the early pluntings
will exeeed the estimates made a month
since. The drought, however, in its.
generate, influence is unabat&d and
hundreds of acres will scarcely return
the seed. The crops of cotton will be
very small. Picking’is begun, and I
thiqk the entire crop will be gathered
by the 15th of Ootober.
“The Douglas men claim a small ma
jority in the village of Eatonton, the
county of Putnam, I am informed will
give Breokinridge a larger vote thah
Douglas. Bell will get a plurality in
Putnam. Morgan, and Newton. In
Mor^kn the Democrats are almost equal
ly divided, Breokinridge-in the majori-
-« ity. Indications from other portions of
the State render the eleotion of Breok
inridge before the people probable.
The fact that the writer is a Breckin
ridge Democrat accounts for this last sen-
tenco. In the counties where he has
been Bell is ahead, but off at a distance
somewhere, nobody knows where,
Breckinridge is going to gel enough
votes to elect him. And so it is in each
county, The Breekinridger’s do not
hope to carry it, but other counties will
come to the rescue. The election will
set all this right.
Breckinridge Electoral Ticket.—
The following electors were nomina
ted by the Breokinridge State Conven
tion on the 8th inst
State at large—C. J. McDonald and
Henry R. Jackson. 1st District—Peter

pass through this place en route to his
appointment at Centre, Ala., today,
announced that Hon. William M. Yan
cey would speak at Rome on Thurs
day night, and notified, him of the

appointment without consultation with
him, or at the unwarrantable liberty
they took with his name, we can not
say, but he did hot oome up to schedule
time.- He passed through the next mom-

Beil and Everett Meeting in Gordon
A large and most highly, respectable
portion of the friends of Bell and Ever

the 7th inst., to appoint delegates to
the Milledgeville State Convention on
the 13 th of August. On motion of John
Harkins, Maj. Joshua Daniel was called

following Committee were appoittfM to

Col. J. E. Parrott, John M. Neal, D. R-.
Malone, L. D. Cole, and Wylie Roberts.
While the Committee were out, Doctor
Lee, of Floyd,entertained the audience
with a very appropriate and well, timed
speech,in beautiful termB setting forth
the purity and fidelity of our Constitu
tional candidates for the Presidency.
Mqjor James Freeman being loudly
and enthusiastica'ly called for appeared
on the stand and stated that ho was not
a public speaker, but that he would
challenge the world to pub forth a purer
and better man than John Bell, and
took his sent amidst great applause.
The Committee having returned
made the following report which was
unanimously adopted.

alone (under present circumstances)
secure the perpetuity of the Union and
the maintainance of peace.

men whose lives and whose patriotism
afford a sufficient guarantee that in

John Bell and Wm. L. Yancey.
We see going the rounds of the press,
what purports to be a letter from the
Hon. Wm. L. Yuncey, addressed to
gentlemen m Alabama, in which he as
serts that the record of Mr. Bell shows,
among other things, that Mr. Boll holds
the opinion “that if the Wilmot Proviso
wore to be atta'ched to Territorial bills,
it would be right to sanction it.” Well
suppose Mr. Bell does hold this opinion
oan any gentleman point to a vote of his,
which proposed to sanction the doc
trine inpraotiee? Does Mr. Yancey
hold the opinion attributed by him and
his udherents to John Bell? Let facts
answer. The Wilmot Proviso was attach
ed to the bill organizing the Territory of
Oregon, and, if we mistake not, Mr..
Yancey, in the House of Representa
tives, under his oath to support the Con
stitution, voted for that Bill. Howell Cobb
voted for tile same bill, under oath—most
of the Soutli Carolina delegation voted
for the same bill. James K. Polk, a
Southern Democratic President, under his
oath to support the Constitution approved
the bill. If Mr. Bell’s opinions be so
odious, his acts are not such ; but wh(it
shall we say of those sound, true Southern
Bell and Everett la Kentucky.
The Maysville Eagle notices a rally
of the friends of Bell and Everett in the
following glowing terms:
“Never before did wo witness the en
thusiasm of an audience reach so high a
point, as it did Monday night, during
■the speech of W.-H. Wadsworth. It
was an audience of which’any speaker
might well be proud. Every precinct
in the country was represented- by a
large number of gallant and true men;
ana even from Nicholas, and Fleming
and Lewis, and from the adjacent coun
ty in Ohio, old men and young men
copie. and joined their hearty enthusias
tic shouts for Bell and Everett.
“After the conclusion of the speech,
the Maysville Quadrille Band played
one of the national airs, and the hearty,
loud and continued cheers went up for
Bell and Everett. The people in heart,
are for Bell and Everett, and they must
and will triumph.”
Another Dred Scott Case.—Wo un
derstand from the Shelby (Ky.) News
that a suit has been instituted in the
Shelby CircuitCourt involvingthe ques
tion, of sliwety in the North-western
Territory, os nffected by the oidinnnce
of 1787. The plaintiff asserts that his
master became a permanent resident
of'IUinois, and took the plaintiff to
’that State, and there kept him during
the period of his residence'therein.—
The plaintiff claims -that by virtue of
the ordinance of 1787 and the Constitu
tion and laws of Illinois, this residence
liberated him from slavery.

Messrs Editors - The meeting which
had been called by the Constitutional
Union party of Gordon, to ratify the
nomination of Bull and Everett und ap
point delegates to attend tho Milledge-
ville Convention to meet on tho 13th
inst., came off to day.
It was ono of the largest political
meetings which has taken place in our
county for years. It was rather amus
ing to look upon the long faces of some
of the Democrats, as they stood around
the out-skirts of the crowd, and saw
many men whom they had claimed as
belonging to their party, participating
in this meeting. Such was the demon
strations made in favor of our candi
dates that tho democracy became alarm
ed and on the adjournment of our mee-
ting, gave notice that they would have a
speech that evening from some of their
pets. I did not attend, but understand
they bad but a smalt crowd and a poor
speech, I will keep you posted in fu
ture- GORDON.
.tor Toombs did not
stateSeimmstinMaMlMmeveral of
too opposition Newspapers, that Mr.
Toombs said in his speech in Wafrenton
that Mr, Bell was as sound on the Slav
ery question as he was. We havo Mr.
Toombs own authority for saying, that
he made no such statement.—Fed. Un
ion.
We made this statement upon the
authority of the Chronicle & Sentinel, as
much a compliment to Mr. Toombs*
fairness, as an evidenoe of Mr.-Bell’s
soundness. It we were mistaken we
willingly make toe correction. No
body loses anything by it but Mr.
Toombs.

Tlie excitement consequent upon the
Abolition disturbances lias not entirely
tied out. A meeting of slave owners
was held in the town of Anderson, tlie
26th. A vigilance committee was orga
nized und resolutions adopted, recom
mending the expulsion ol <di white per
sons suspected of entertaining Abolition
sentiments, reprobating the practice ol
giving general passes, and selling liquor
and urtlis to slaves,
A meeting, with a similar object in
V.ew, was held in Hempstead on the same
uuy, at which precautionary measures
were taken.
In Wood county a public meet
ing was held on tlie 19th, and as- vigi
lance committee was appointed, us
well as a watch for the town of Quit-

It has been ascertained that tho ne
groes of Grimes county have held secret

A mass meeting of tho citizens

In Faybtte county, a band of

Democrat contains the proceedings of a
meeting of the citizens of Clarke and
Wayne counties, Mississippi, and Choc
taw and Washington counties, Ala., to
consider with regard to a society exist
ing in Choctaw county, und supposed to
be an abolition concern. It was organ
ized by men named McDonald and Gil
bert. It wus proved by a large number
of witnesses that both McDonald and
Gilbert were abolitionists, and that Gil
bert hod said that if everybody in Ala
bama thought as ho did, slavery would
not exist in the State three years. Mc
