Those gentlemen whoso names we have italicised, being nineteen out of the twenty-seven, have published a card ha the Dalton Times and Augusta Demo- Mu, denying any connexion with the Douglas party, and saying their names were hsod in the meeting without their consent. In authorising the Committee to fill vacancies, we are of the opinion that the power conferred is too unlimited. MARCELLUS DOUGLAS. L. T. DOYAL. W. F. WRIGHT, j. R. PARROT. H. P. BELL. IRA E. DUPREE. LAFAYETTE LAMAR. 2d 3d 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th Astonishing. The Breckinridge papers have been untiring in their denunciations of Mr. Bell as “unsound on the slavery ques tion,” and none more vehement than the Augusta Democrat and Dispatch. The former paper of the 31st of August, pub lished an article alleging that he was nominated by abolitionists, and in an ad joining column a labored effort to prove him a disunionist. Extracts from his speeches were paraded to support this position, and we find them in the Dis patch also of the same date. They cer tainly must be sadly in want of argu ments thus to make charges so contra dictory. But here are the extracts al luded to, and we ask if any one, after reading them, would be unwilling to confide the interests, the rights and the honor of the South in the hands of such a man as Chief Magistrate of the United States. * “Sir, no man who loves his country.no man who has any just pride in the re flection that he is an American citizen, but must desire that these dissensions should cease. For, sir, it is not a mere question whether we shall preserve the Union ; for that may be, and yet prove no great boon either tc ourselves or to posterity. The question is not whether these States shall continue united accor ding to the letter of the covenant by which they are bound together. It is, whether they shall continue to be prac tically and efficiently co-operative in carrying out the great ends of the asso ciation. The question is whether mutu al trust and confidence shall continue to animate and encourage mutual efforts in promoting and multiplying common benefits; or whether mutual hatred and distrust shall step in to check all pro gress; to distract and confound all joint endeavors for the common welfare; in fine, to entail upon the country all the evils of endless discord. That is the question. And when you present that issue to me, I say give me separation ; give me disunion; give me anything in preference to a Union sustained only by power, by Constitutional and legal ties, without reciprocal trust and confidence. If our future career is to be one of eter nal discord, of angry crimination and re crimination, give me rather separation with all its oonsequenoes. If I am to be at peace, let it be peace in reality; and if I am to be* at war, let me know it at once, that I may put my house in order and be ready to meet the consequen ces.”—(Speechon ihe Compromise Measures, July, 1850.) And, again, on the 18th of March, 1858, he said: “When the North shall, by any delib erate act, deprive the South of any fair and just and equal participation in the benefits of the Union—if, for example, the Territory now proposed to be admit ted into the Union as a State, had not been subject to an interdict of slavery for thirty years—if it were a Territory such os that lying west of Arkansas, by climate adapted to slave labor, and by population already a slave Territory; and if, on an application of such a Ter ritory for admission into the Union as a slave State, the powerful North, without any of the feelings and sentiments natu rally growing out of the repeal of the Missouri Compromise in regard to Kan sas, should deliberately announce to the South “you shall have no more slave States,” that would afford a pretext with which the South might, with some rea son, and with some assurance of the ap proval of the civilized world and of pos- teritj, seek to dissolve the Union.”— (Appendix to Congressional Globe—1857 and 1858; page 132.) Not for Douglas. On the 7th day of August a Douglas meeting was held in Chattooga county and the following resolution adopted: Resoloed, That an executive commit tee, consisting of three from each dis trict in this county, be appointed to call all Democratic conventions neces-. sary to be held in this county; and that said committee be authorised to'fill va- canoies, if any should happen, with re spect to their number.

The signs of the times are ominous and call upon us for vigilance and ac tion. Evidently there are persons in our midst, robbers and murderers at heart, seeking to instil their diabolical principles into tho minds of the ne groes, that they may by their assistance reduce the country to a helpless condi tion, making it an easy matter to plun der, rob and steal. We believe this to bo their leading object, rather than sympathy and love for the negro, for if they cared for the negro’s welfare they would not try to dissatisfy him with his normal and pro per condition, in which he is doing well, more happy in spirit t.nd more bountifully supplied with tho comforts of life than aro those villains who are endeavoring to inoite him to rebellion against a kind master, the result of which will bo the negro’s own misery and destruction. Honest men are nev er detected in tampering with negroes in this way; but on the contrary, such men always prove to belong to that class in whom the people have no confi dence, but believe to be rogues. While it is our duty to watch and guard against the mischief that sucli characters may prompt tho negroes to do, it is never theless, more important that we watch for, catch and deal with these roguish scoundrels who lie at the foundation ol the mischief. There are such men in almost every community, and our country needs purging of such characters. They are for the most part, beneath the reach of both the law and gospel and have to be dealt with <n a more convenient and summary manner than in .ordinary ca ses. Lynch-law is the only law that can ef. factually’ reach such characters, and in times of-peril such as now environ us, when called upon to protect our lives, our property, and that which is dearer to us than either, it is especially neces sary, to push lynch-law to the extreme, that the country may bo rid of such characters, and our safety secured. If such characters are taken up and whip ped or expelled the country, this does not remedy the matter, but only makes it worse. It is like turning a dog loose enraged with hydrophobia, under the apprehension that he will strike off in to another community, which would be radically wrong; but besides, if that same dog did not return intoyour midst some dog infected by him might, and ore you are uware of it, spread dread ful havoc and destruction around. In northern Texas gometime hist year, the people drove twoabolitionists from their country who sent back substitutes in their place, with whom they had secret communications, and though at a dis tance, they had laid plans which de stroyed almost millions of property and had well nigh devastated the whole of northern Texas. If, on the contrary, the peoplo had executed lynch law upon those men to the extreme and put an end to them, how much anxiety, how much property, how- many more valuable lives than theirs might have been saved. I may- wrong, but nevertheless 1 candidly be lieve to deal thus with such rogues and murderers, anil thereby- preserve valua- ablc human life and character, would be doing God's service. But lot us not forget that lynch-law is dangerous tojustico and right in the hands of an enraged mob. Let no one be dealt harshly with unless suspicion is established by indubitable evidence, and in such cases negro testimony, when supported by circumstances, ought to be admissible, for it is almost solely with negroes that such characters deal. Vigilance. The Patrol Laws. We are decidedly in favor of having the patrol laws rigidly enforced—the signs of the times demand it; but their execution should be placed in proper hands. We have heard of more than one outrage committed by individuals acting under authority of the Commis sioners. On one occasion they entered the yard of an .old and feeble widow lady, At the hour , of midnight, and after greatly alarming her, so maltreated a negro woman for some slight cause, that she was confined to her bed foi several days. Again they went upon the premises of a gentlemen and in a most boisterous manner aroused qll the negroes on the place, and uttered pro- fane language in such a loud voice os to be overheard by tho ladies in tho house. We hope the proper authorities will rectify such abuses. It appears to us that each man con patrol his own plan tation, and those appointed by the Commission era should never invade the premises of another without sufficient cause to suspect something wrong is going on, and then the owner should be notified of their intentions. Excitement in Alabama. The Talladega papers, contain full ac counts of the detection of a plot among the negroes, set on foot by white men, to burn the town ami kill the inhabi tants. Several negroes and two white villains wore arrested ; one of the latter was bung and the other will follow him. The Selma papers say- a similar affair has come to light in that place, and a meeting of the citizens called to take precautionary measures. And yet in the faco of all these faets developing themselves almost simultaneously, in different sections of the country, some persons affect to ridicule the idea of dan ger from such a source. SQy-The notorious anti-Leeompton Douglas Democrat John Hickman, who went over to the Black Republicans during the last session of Congress, has been defeated in the nominating Con vention of bis District, by, .John M. Brownludl. More Incendiarism. Through the reports found in the Texas papers, fn regard to the late ex inordinary scenes that have been wit nessed, we givo a condensed account of them to our readers, as a part of the history of the times. We copy from the Houston Telegraph, of tho 17tli inst.: The Tyler Reporter, of the 7th, says that a report has just reached there that Belleview, in Rusk county, was burned on the night of the 4th ult. The same .paper says that DaiTgerfield, in Titus county, is burned. At Athens, Henderson county, a well was discovered to bo poisoned on Sun day night, the 5th inst., and over 100 bottles of strychnine wus found in pos session of negroes. On examination the plot was brought to light, which was to poison as many as possible at breakfast, and then the knife and tho pistol, with which they were well supplied, were to do the balance of tho work. All the old women and young children were to be murdered, and the young women were to bo takon as wives by the hell hounds. A patrol of one hundred men is on duty every night in Tyler, and this has thus far saved that town. A stable, belonging to John T. Car lisle, in Athens, was burned by an in cendiary bn tho evening of the 6th. A negro belonging to Mr. Barron, at Science Hill, Henderson county, was bung on thc3d—strychnine having been found in his possession, and ho having confessed to having a hand in tho insur rection. A gentleman, writing from Rusk, Cherokco county, 4th inst., gives an ac count of a plot to poisoji the whole community on election day. 1’oison was found in the possession of several of tho negroes, and confessions nro elicited of a determination to poison anil murder tho whole people. Similar plots had been discovered in Anderson and Henderson counties. One or two fires have lately occurred in Galveston, which are plainly attribu table to negro incendiaries. Tho female portion of the inhabitants, the News says, exhibit much alarm. The Rome Observer.

IIvilROI-llunlA AMI Smotiierinu.—In the Dublin Chronicle, 28th of October, 1788, tho following circumstance is re corded : “Thurs lay morning, an accident imp- pencil at the Bliickiock (neur Dublin,) which 1ms been attended with most melancholy circumstance*. A tine hoy about fourteen years old, passing by a gentleman’s house, the indy’s lapdog ran out anil hit him ; in about two hours tho youth was seized with convulsive fits, and shortly after with the hydro phobia; and notwithstanding every as sistance that night, his friends were, on Friday 'obliged to smother him between two beds.” Douglas and Jounso.v.—Senator Doug las in a speech recently delivered at Norfolk, Va., in reply to questions pro pounded to him, declared that should tho Southern States secede from the Union in tho event of Lincoln’s electiqn, he would bo in favor of coercing them into submission. What would Hersclicl V. Johnson have replied to that in 1850 T and what does ho say to it note t. fl@“Tho Dalton Times, giving an ac count of the discovery of an insurrec tion plot among tho negroes in that place, and their confessions that white men had instigated them, and that they had intended to set fire to the town on Sunday night, the 26th of August, eonoludes as follows: “That some blaok hearted abolition ist or abolitionists, have been tampering with the blacks in this place and vicini ty there can bo no question, and the owners of slaves and the city authori ties cannot be too watchful.” fitg-The Breckinridge and Lane Club will meet on this (Thursday) night when W.

Official Vote of North Carolina.— It appears from the official returns of the late gubernatorial election in North Carolina that Ellis, ilem., received 59, 500, and Pool, opp., 53,262. Majority for Ellis 6,328. Tho democratic vote has increased since t lie last election 3,- 161, while that of tho opposition lias increased 13,21(1—total increased vote ol the State 10.377, which is within six votes of Ellis’ majority two years ago. Walkei.’.. l'o in ion and Prospf.cts.—A dispatch to tlie Charleston Mercury, da ted New Orleans, 8ept. 2, says; "The schooner Toucey has arrived here with later accounts of the movements of Gen. Walker and the filibusters. ‘Guardiola was surrounding Truxillo with a large force. Walker's men were prosecuting tho work of fortification witli vigor. Gen. Walker had advised the people of Truxillo to emigrate to Rualan Island. It was supposed that Walker’s force would bo strong enough to offer a successful resistance to Giinr- tliolu. Reinforcements from Cabanas were anxiously expected. The schooner .1. A. Taylor, freighted with arms and ammunition for Walker, and also carry ing fifty recruits, hud eluded the vigi lanco of the British cruisers and had nr rived safe at Truxillo. It was supposed that Walker would very soon proceed to Nicaragua to carry out his scheme of consolidating the Central American Government.” Child Frightened to Death.—The Elkhart county (Ind.) Times says that a little son of D. D. McKnight, living near Middlobury, aged about nino years, was frightened todoath a few days ago while gathering berries with another little boy Tho owner of the promises seeing them, threatened to shoot them, and seta dog on them, and so scared tho little fellow: that they ran home, a considerable dis tance, when little McKnight was found to bo insane with terror, fanoying that ho had been shot at, and that the dog was after him, and remained delirious few days, when he died. 8©* We learn from S. H. Sheldon Esq., of Sufflold, that tho family of Mi' chael Quinnan, ofSuffield, were poison ed by eating toadstools—supposing thorn to be'mushrooms. Two of the children died yesterday, one aged 6 years and tho other 4 years. Mr. Q.’s wife and the only remaining child, aged 2 years, are not expeotod to live. This is not tho first oaso of loss of life from the same cause. The two vegetables closely ro semble caoh other, and peoplo should avoid mushroom eating altogether. Hartford (Conn.) Times.
