Wi|hJ^e d*te of tiriftfeue it haAeett just onftweek since We published this Democratic compaiA document, anil fet, mr to Jbsffiealpfriime, ..tfwy Morning) not one of the Breckinridge papers that come to this office—and we exchange with all in the State, and sev eral in other States*—has re-published Edward Everett of Hass. Arc_thcy Sincere T There is not a Breckinridge Editor or stump speaker, who is not continually urging the Opposition, with as much complacency as the spider invited the fly, to come into their party and support their candidate in order to insure the success of our principles. Bat we have every reason to believe that they would not oarry them oat even if they had the power to do so. We have, time and again, alluded to some of these reasons; we propose now to give another. The Breokinridge party say they so- ceded from the Charleston Convention, and duplicated at Baltimore because of the Squatter Sovereignty heresy their Northern allies. They denounce it as froesoil doctrine, intended to make all the Territories free States. Gov. Wise stigmatised it as “the short cut to all the ends of Blaok Republicanism, and this is inscribed upon the banners of the Breckinridgers, and has become the rallying ory of the party. Their pretended horror of Squatter Sover eignty cannot Well be overestimated. And although four years ago, and even at a more recent date, they deceived the Southern people by pronouncing this charge, then made against Douglas by the Opposition, as a base calumny, now they admit that there waia differ ence of opinion between Northern and Southern Democrats, and on agreement to leave it an open question in the party. And more than this, almost the entire Southern delegation in the Cincinnati Convention, including the Hon. Jno. C. Breokinridge himself, voted for Stephen A. Douglas at a candidate for the Presidency. It is a poor, con temptible quibbld to say the Supreme Court had not deoided the question.— As well have voted for a Wilmot provi- soist, because the Supreme Court had not then declared that doctrine uncon stitutional. If Squatter Sovereignty is as bad now as the Wilmot proviso, it was as lad then. If it will as effectually drive the South from the common Ter- ritories now, it would have done so thin, And yet, we repeat it, they attempted to foist upon the Southern people a Presidential oe affiliate, with a full knowledge that he held this doctrine. And further still, they denied the fact when we alleged it. And now, as if to fill the cup to the brim, they insist upon our ooming over to them and aid (Asm in Carrying out our principles, and keep them in power. What evidence do they furnish that they will not deceive us again T A plat form—a string of resolutions, which have heretofore been namoro * effectual in binding the Democratic" party, than the Cords of the PtiUUnes were in binding Sampson. They have always been upon them “as flax that was burnt with fire." mendaSoh. Although the jlmilar recep tion with which his Tunnpl^Hjll speech met at the hands of hianew allies,should have prepared us forit/stlll, accustomed as we had been, to regard every emana tion from the “Demosthenes of the Mountains” os of vast importance to the party and to the country, we did not ex pect his pronunciamento to live nowhere but on the files of the Courier, and in a reserved copy in the possession of the author. ' In our fear and trembling at the tesnlt,our overwrought imagination, rushing ahead of sober second thought, saw it leap into the conflict, like Miner va, full grown and well armed, from the brow of Jupiter, to spread havoc in the ranks of the Opposition. But, instead of this wo find that we were called in to officiate at the labors of mountains that brought forth only a little mouse—still bom. But we had anothor reason for think ing his letter would be bettor received. It was evidently intended to conciliate the Breckinridgers for the hard things he said about them in his Tunnel Hill speech. But it .was a sad failure. The Doctor said he “took them all captive,” but they refuse to bow to Gesler’s cap. We Cannot bo otherwise than indig nant at this bad treatment of our Ex- Magnus Apollo. It is not only base in gratitude towards him, but a direct in sult to our party. It is an impeachment of our judgment, an imputation against our understanding. We placed him in tho lead; they left him in the lurch. We have but one way to account for it. Ho said they told “ the truth once and it Bplit tho party to pieces.” They ore now experiencing the disastrous conse quences'of their rash experiment, and have, doubtless, resolved never to be guilty of such folly again, nor to coun tenance it in any member ot their par- Mr. Bell and Slnvcry'tn the District of Columbia. It has beeuuhargftd; time and again, by reckless persons that Mr. Bell wos jn favor of aboliibiut slavery in theJJfe- trict of Columbia. If anything more can be naeded to refute such ridiculous nonsense, the following letter to the Editor of the Columbus JDiyta^v flight Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 10,1860. J. H. Martita, Esq.: Dear Sir : Yours of Aug. 31st was duly received. From circumstaacpenow unnecessary to de tail, our atiswer has been delayed until the present. The particular question asked is answered in your paper of the 8 th inst. Your article in that impression, indeed, covers the whole question In re spect to the District of Columbia. The speech of Mr. Bell, which you is a sufficient vindication of hi ou publish, tUcient vindication oi uim on the entire wtyect. As you correctly state, he dia not vote for Seward’s substitute, but against it. Generally on this sub ject, wo ore fully authorized by Mr Bell to assure you that he was always as stronglv opposed as any Southern man could bo to the emancipation of slaves or the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia without the assent of Maryland and .Virginia; and then only on condition that it should bo ac cepted as the lflht concession tc the an ti-slavery sentiment of tho North whioh the South would ever be called upon to make. Ho would never havo consent ed to the abolition of slavery in the Dis trict of Columbia, under uny circum stances, without compensation to the owners of the slaves. We trust you will bo able to refute thccaliimnious imputa tions made against Mr. Eell on this sub ject. Very truly, Ac. Editors Nasuville Patriot. X3F* very medical practi ce Speaking on the Fourth.

We inter cede with onr Breckinridge friends to pause, to consider all the circumstances. He bos been aooustomed to toll the truth for a number of years, and is yet a neo phyte in the cause of Democracy. Let him remain a little while longer and he will be all right. “Evil communications will corrupt good manners." And to the Doctor we would say, that if he will return to his father’s house be fore he has fed too long on the husks of Democracy, (we fear ho will have to tend theswine and nevertaste the pap) he may find the door open. It is true our party has been a long time in the minority, and may be for a long time to come ; hut it is more honorable to be the head of a mouse than the tail of a lion. Jt©“I,ot tho honest voters of the whole country read the following testi mony given in Congress by “five distin guished Democrats. “When I first entered Congress, in 1843,tho expenses of the Government were only 30,000,000 per annum. The country had gone through the expen sive Mexican war with sixty-throe thou sand soldiers in the field, for thirty mil lions, and now, in time of peace, the es timates are seventy-three millions 1 He believed forty millions an abundance for the National expense.”—-lion.

Andrew Johnson of Tern. “I think it not saying too much to declare that this eouutry lias gone faster and further in ten years, in extrava gance, than most other countries have gone in centuries.—General Shiedlt. “Before God I believe this to lie the most corrupt Government on Earth.

This Were a Watch worth Having: —During the reign of Catherine II. of Russia, an ingenious Russian peasant, named Kuluban, constructed a musical watch to perform a single chant. Tho machine was about the size of an egg. within which was a representation of the tomb of our Savour, with the Ro man sentinels on watch. On pressing a spring the stone would be rolled from the tombs, tho sentinels fall down, the angels appear, the holy women enter the sepulchre, and the same chant which is sling on Easter Ere bo accurately performed. The Dougla* Meeting. The onnouncemen t*that Col. Wm. A Fort would speak on Thursday night, attracted the largest crowd we have seen in tho City Hall since the cam paign opened. Hisspeeoh was decided ly the spiciest that’bo* beenjdolivored. That of the "gallant and eloquent young Fitch” was flat, and insipid compared to it. He made some home thrusts too Into the iron ribs of the Breckinridgers that most have been anything but com fortable. •••' He oompared Win, L. Yancey to swallow that lays its eggs in every nest it finds open, and he laid some eggs in the Democratic nest at Charleston that have already hatched. The speaker seemed to have an abiding contempt for demagogues and professional politi cians. We never had a good chance at them before, but now I hey ore all hived in the Breckinridge^ party, and all we have got to do is to “bum a little sul phur under them and kill them all at one smell.” When one of them wanted an offioe he would strike a bee-lino for the hive, and the last one, Col. W. B. Ter- hune,hae gone in. Not that Ac wanted office, but only to follow the crowd and see what they were after. The Breok- inridgera seem to have the horrors at Squatter Sovereignty, and, said he, there is ,nqt one that has not a patch on bis begeehee where he has been Squatting fovtfcwbwt four years. rffiNfWQggb remember many of the best things ho said, but he has prom ised to prepare himself for another smderftrv body should go and At the conclusion of hisspeeoh Judge Wrjghfc wfts.jftiflffl^oqt, end made a short speech, but decidedly one of the| most eloquent and ingenious defences of Mr. Douglas we have heard. ■ What do you say to this. We take the following from the Fed eral Union, a rabid Breokinridge paper, which has said that if that candidate were “out of tho way it would support Douglas.” There is not, there cannot be, any real, permanent affection between democrats who are so from principle, and Bell or Opposition men ; for the very good rea son that the latter have no principles. They are Know-Nothings,and will never be anything else. Will Aleck Stephens ever affiliate with Know Nothings?— Never, while there is aspeek of honesty alivo in his composition. 'What do our Know-Nothing friends about here, who say they intend to vote for Breokinridge, say to that? Will they associate with a party, and support its candidate, whoso newspaper organs say that Mr. Stephens will not affiliate with them while he has a speck of hon csty left t Are they so degraded, as the Federal Union insinuates? If they are, we will not be surprised to see them in dose fellowship with their abusers, they are not, they cannot endorse this b»se slander by noting with the indu cers of themselves and their old politi- cel and personal Mends. 89* Many of the Constitutional Union journals throughout the country nre fa voring tho proposition to hold a grand Union meeting at Lexington.Kentucky, to which every State should send dele gates. The Memphis Enquirer, in sec onding the project, says that the “right spirit is now evidently aroused in behalf of such tin assemblage of the friends of tlie Union cause as lias never yet been witnessed on this continent.

THE FRIENDS OF BELL AND EVERETT WILL HOLD A GRAND MASS MEETING, At Rome, Septemb'r 29,1860 HON. B.H. HILL lias been nnmod as an appropriate day for the meeting of this grand national council. A Remarkaiile Prediction.—Helper says (page . r i0) in liis Republican cam paign document, (tlie compendium of which has boon endorsed by most of tlie prominent loaders of that party :) “Ere long— mark our words—there will ascend from Texas a huzza for Freedom and for Equal Rights, that will utterly eon found tho friends of despotism, and set ut defiance the au thority of usurpers, and carrying con sternation to tho heart of every slaveiy propagandist.” What Senator Wilson thinks of John Bell. One of the Republican Clubs held a meeting in Boston lost week, for the special purpose of hearing Wilson, the Black Republican Senator from Massa chusetts, deliver a speech, the subject of which was the Union party. In the course of his remarks, Mr. Wilson fre quently spoke of it as bring in the “slave interest," and among others used the following expression: “Mr. Wilson argued that tho Whig party had always been, to all intents and purposes, in the interest or the slave power, and that John Bell had been foremost in every measure whioh tended to the agrandizement of the South and her institutions. His speech was quite lengthy.” John Bril had been ‘fo'emotl in every measure which tended to tho aggran- dicement of the South and her institu tions" And yet some Southern news- P*P“« *?d itump-tail orators charge John Bell with entertaining views hot- tile to slavery. It is just that sort of spirit which has produced the present crisis.— Wilmington Herald. 86y*Tho New York Exnininor says that Henry Ward Beecher, in his ser mon before Theodore Parker’s congrega tion in Boston took ground that foot- washing is a “most affreting ordinance of the Ciiuroh, ” which “stands upon a command just ns tho Lord's Supper or baptism, ” and which “bears an idea as fundamental to humanity and manhood as these other snered ordinances do to spirituality and faith, and futurity.— The examiner is surprised that if such is th e belief of Mr. Beeoher, “he does not introduce the affeting ordinco into Plymouth Church” Look Out.—Wo understand that two white men, names unknown, in prowl ing about through our county compelled by thrente.* negro 91 an of Mr. Wm.

Endorsing.—Daniel Webster once said that the “sin of Amerioa was the sin of suretyship." There is written in mournful letters in the history of every man, the record of suffering by endorse ment.
