Phases of the Constitutionalist on Non-
Intervention.
We have been exceedingly anxious for a
public, candid acknowledgment by the Con
'■ stitationalist, that the doctrines held by the
Southern Rights party on the subject of non
intervention are diametrically opposite to those
proclaimed by the Democratic party, and former
, • ly held by the mats of the pretent members of
the Southern Rights party itself.
We have proved this, by the resolutions of
% the Democratic Conventions, and by the most
1 f direct and explicit quotations from its own
columns.
The present state of the question between
\us (for it is between.us, though it feigns igno-
I ranee of the fact) is as follows. We establish
ed the fact that it was for non-intervention.
It acknowledged explicitly that it had been,
but said that non-intervention came too late,
because it came in 1850. We then proved
that its own advocacy of non intervention
bore date in 1850. What was it now to do ?
Its argument was upset, plainly so, even to
the meanest capacity.
The plan it adopted was to deny the obvious
meaning of the word. We then quoted from
its own columns of May 15th, 18S0—the
acknowledgement that, “By the Compromise
(of the committee of 13) we oet Territorial
governments and non-intervention on the
slavery question for the Territories.”
We quoted a similar acknowledgment made
April 30th, 1050. Ever since this decisive
evidence of the sense in which it used the
word, it still has the hardihood to write of
non intervention, as something which we did
not get.
If it is not yet “sick and tired” of quibbling
on this subject, we believe we can promise
that, provided only it is capable of penitence,
it shall be sick, tired and ashamed of its con
duct upon it, before we get through with this
article. We do not expect to effect this salu
tary end by our strength, but by its own.
In the article of last month (August 22d)
Wk H insists that by non-intervention was meant,
among other things, the following :
“ That in establishing Territorial Governments,
this equal participation in them claimed by tbe
Southern people, should be recognised and secured
to them, and tbe people thus made equal, left free to
determine for themselves whether slavery should
or should not form a part of their social system.”
Again, in the same artiole, speaking of the
doty of Congress to remove impediments, it
says :
“ This Congress failed to do. This Congress
pertinaciously refused to do. It was, in this, dere
lict to its duty and to tbe just claims of the South.”
Not relying upon the evident folly of giving
the name of “non-intervention” to the “inter
vention” demanded by the Constitutionalist,
we shall refer to its own columns, of not oas
week previous, and show the explicit acknow
ledgment that what we did get was non-inter
vention. If we had had the writing of it our
selves, we could have made the acknowledg
ment no more explicit. Here it is:
True, these Territoiiai bills did not contain the
W ilmot proviso. They contained non-intervention.
But non-intervention came too late.”— Constitution
eXist, Aug. 16tb, 1851.
The italics are its own.
We have offered its own testimony that
tee got non-intervention, taken from the paper
of May 19th, 1850. In a former article we
offered its own testimony, of April 30th, 1850.
We now offer the same testimony again,
bearing date only six days before its denial.
The former evidence it considered insuffi
cient Does it want more ? We offer it now.
In a review of Mr. Toombs' position on
the California question, it has occasion to
refer with great point and discrimination to
the true meaning of non intervention. That
man would have to be a master of the use of
language who could express more forcibly the
opinion that “removing hostile impediments”
is inconsistent with the doctrine of non-inter
vention. He ridicules (the idea of Mr.
Toombs “in 1850 gravely calling on Congress
to pass a law repealing anti-slavery laws.”
But we will let him speak for himself, for he
speaks very plainly:
“ Mr. Toombs is, with one important exception,
with the great body of the democracy of Georgia
in the above positions, and we hope the great body of
his own party, coincide with him. The exception
is this: he insists that Congress shall repeal the
Mexican laws prohibiting slavery, or as he phases
it, shall remove hostile impediments to the intro,
duction and peaceable enjoyment of all our property
in the Territories. Now, removing these hostile
impediments 1 , means repealing those Mexican laws.
It cannot mean any thing else. This demand of
Mr. Toombs is on the presumption that these laws
are of force in those Territories, and must continue
so until repealed by Congress. This has uniformly
been the position of Mr, Toomos and of Mr. Ste
phens. It is the position of Mr. Clay, and of the
Whigs of the Union generally, and of almost the
entire North. The Whig party of Georgia stan I
divided upon this question. Now, if these laws be
of force, and therefore exclude slavery, if Congress
repeals them, will it not thereby re-establish slavery 1
Certainly it will. Yet Mr. Toombs, in the taua
sentence, tells Congress he does not ask it to do this,
and denies its powerto do it. On the other hand, it
is ably and conclusively demonstrated by Judge
Berrien, that by the conquest and annexation by
treaty the Federal Constitution became extended
over the Territories ipso facto, and carried slavery
with it Had the Clayton Compromise bill not been
defeated by Messrs. Stephens and Toombs, this
question would long since have been set to rest by a
judicial decision. As it is. we find Mr. Toombs, in
1850, gravely calling on Congress to peas a law re
pealing anti-Blavery laws. He had as well call on
Massachusetts to pass a law re-establishing slavery
in that State. There is about as much chance for
the one as the other. The Democrats insist that
Congress shall let the subject alone—that it has no
right totouoh it, one way or the other, iheir doc
trine is mom-ik«*ventiom as to slavery, oni the part
of Congress. — Constitutionalist, Marat 19, looU,
Was it ever contended by any party, that
any other obstacle except Mexican laws inter
fered with the rights of slave holders. It is
•gainst the repeal of snob law* that the Con*
stitutionalist contends in the above, as incon
sistent with the demand of the Democratic
party.
11 The Democrats insist that Congress shall let the
snbject alone—that it has no right to touch it, one
way or the other. Their doctrine is non-inter
vention as to slavery on the part of Congress.”
The position of those demanding repeal it
Btates in another article to be an “unfortunate
position fora Southern statesman to oecupy.”
“ The other point made by Mr. Toonbs is not a
new one. But it is a waste of words for him to
urge it. It is that Congress should repeal tbe Mexi
can laws against slavery which Mr. Toombs con
tends are still of force. Mr. Toombs knows, and
so did he and Mr. Stephens when they defeated the
Clayton compromise bill, that this would not be
done. This position concedes to Congress power
to legislate on the subject of slavery and is an uu
fortunate position for a Southern statesman to occu
py, as we hare often urged ; for the North can
seize on it as her authority to legislate adverse to
slavery as well as in favor of it. The safe position
is, that Congress has no authority to legislate on the
eubj ect.
We publish the extract we do from Mr. Toombs’
speech, not for the strength of its argument, but for
its truly Southern tone and spirit. —Constitutionalist
March 16, 1850.
Can even the Constitutionalist longer deny
its abandonment of the Democratic doctrine
of non intervention, as sustained in ita own
columns? Wiliithave the manliness to ac
knowledge that it has abandoned it ? or will
it quibble on ?
Have we not redeemedour pledge to make
the evidence on this subject clearer than light ?
Our object has been to expose the gross and
palpable inconsistencies of the men of the
Southern Rights party and presses, and to
vindicate the Democratic wing of the Union
party, from the false charge of an abandon
ment of their principles. Tbe Constitution
alist has not ventured in self defence even to
hint that there was a controversy between us
on this subject.
Office of the Board of Health, ?
Augusta, Sept. '6, 1851. )
Since my report, on the 9th inst., no new
cases of Small Pox, and but 'wo of Varioloid
have occurred in the city. The cbscb of Va
rioloid are mild and rapidly recovering.
The disease ia still confined to the families
and localities in which it originated.
Planters and others may visit our city in
perfect safety, as there is not the least danger
of contracting the disease.

[communicated. - ]
Dr. Jones: —Will.you permit me through
the columns of your paper, to correct an erro
ueous impression concerning myself, which I
have reason to fear obtains to a greater or
less extent. Rumors have reached me, indu
cing the apprehension, that I may be under
stood to concur in the resolutions adopted by
the Union Nominating Convention of Rich
mond County, which I first yaw in a neigh
boring State, on my homeward journey, af
ter an absence of several weeks. That, I
know, neither is, nor will be understood here.
But, where I had been previously reported,
opposed to'the re election of Senator Berrien,
to whom those resolutions refer, and where it
is unknown that my name was before that
Convention, with my consent, accompanied
by the distinct declaration that if nominated,
and elected, I should most certainly vote for
that Gentleman, such a concurrence may,
and probably will be inferred. Without any
expectation of influencing the opinion of
any human being, but to avoid the appearance
of vacillation, 1 desire to repeat what I have
recently expressed to a friend, on that subject,
substantially coinciding with remarks repeat
edly made by me during the summer. After
alluding to Mr. Berrien’s declaration in the
Senate of the United States, on the occasion of
calling the attention of that Body to the pro
ceedings of the Georgia Convention, in effect,
that they indicated the settled purpose of her
people, to which he would conform bis action
as their Representative, I added : “ / know
wtll his attachment to the Union. I know
the sincerity with which that declaration was
made, and I consider him as good a Union
man . and as safe a representative, of that
party, as any in its ranks ” Such is still my
abiding conviction, without which, mere per
sonal attachment could not have induced the
declaration made to the Convention, through
a friend
I have only to ask, that you will indulge
me farther in the remark, (unnecessary I
hope), that I have no personat grief connected
with this nomination —no sense of unkindness
done me, or of distrust manifested towards
me, by political friends, with whom, tn ail
else, I have been, and am, thoroughly iden
tified. There was fair dealing on bolh sides,
developing a conflict of opinions, and theirs
was entitled to prevail in the nomination.
Respectfully, dto.
Charles J. Jenkins.

The noted Florida Indian Chief Wild Cat is
not idle in his new quarters in the South West,
as the following account of his movements will
show
Mr. W. Se crest, who has recently visited the
Mexican towns in the vicinity of Eagle Pass,
informs the editor of the Houston Telegraph
that the statement published lately, in regard to
the number of runaway negroes that have col
lected in those towns is entirely correct. He
says he was informed that no less than two
hundred and seventy runaways crossed the fer
ries at Eagle Pass and Laredo last year. Sev
eral hundred also crossed at the fords above
Eagle Pass. It is estimated that there are not
less than eighteen hundred runaways at the
town that has lately been built by Wild Cat,
near the month of Los Moras. The greater
part of these runaways have escaped from Ar
kansas, but at least five hundred are, it is said,
fugitives from Texas. Wild Cat has a large
number of negroes armed,and they often accom
pany him on his expeditions against the Co
manebes.
He has made two successful forays into the
Comanche country. On one of these forays
he had about two hundred Indians and one
hundred negro warriors. He attacked a large
Comanche lodge, killed one hundred and fifty
warriors, and captured over one hundred hor
ses and mules. On his second expedition
against the Comanehes, he was accompanied
by one hundred Mexican* and a large party of
Kiokapooa. Several hundred hones and
mules were oaptured, but the Mexicans claim-

ed the lion’s share of the spoil, and this so
enraged the Kickapoos that 'hey stole all the
captured property and went back to Red Riv
er. It ia thought that Wild Cat advised his
Indian allies to rob the Mexicans, and that he
will share the spoils. His forces appear to be
daily augmenting, an 1 it is feared that he will
soon concentrate several thousand Indian war
riors from Arkansas at his new settlement.
