Messrs. Editors : Below I give you the
statistics of thc census of the 17th and
16th Districts, of Cass county, as taken by
myself, which may prove interesting to
some of your readers. I took the pains,
in addition to my regular districts, to as
certain thc number of bags of cotton rais- j basis of party action, the platform of prin-
ed in each district. Two farmers of the ■ ciples laid down by the Democratic party
17th, raised, last year, one hundred bags ! j n thc National Convention of 1856 ; and
application of the doctrine of “ non-inter
vention,” a technical term referring solely
to the decision of thc question as to what
is the power and authority of the inhabi
tants of territories and their legislatures
and of Congress. The Compromise of’50,
and the Nebraska act in 154, led this ques
tion in abeyance to be settled by the Su
preme Court This alone was left to the
Courts, and so declared. When therefore
Douglas intended, as he since declares, to
tie the hands of thc South and make that
cessation an eternal triumph of freesoilism
Court or no Court, throughout the com
mon territories, he acted the part of a po
litical swindler on a great scale. But we
invite attention to Mr. Davis’ views ex
pressed concerning the platform of the
part}' in his State, which is as follows :—
[Chat. Mercury.
PLATFORM OF THE DEMOCRACY OF MISSISSIPPI.
Resolved, That we re-announce, as the
354
are perfectly secure ,n any Terntory of ful inway 0 f electioneering with those
the United States. He will have to draw [ ^ ^ prcsent The crowd disperecd
considerably upon his logic, and more up-, c;u , y •„ the cvening in peace and quiet .
on his sophistry before he can blind the
Cass County Agricultural Fair.
We would call thc especial attention of
citizens of the South with such reasoning.
He defends the Kansas Nebraska Act,
and as he supports the claims of Douglas, our leaders to the list of Premiums offer-
thc only rational conclusion to which any ! ed for the various articles mentioned. The
one can come is, he takes his Douglas’ in- ; Premium list is large and embraces nearly
terpretation of it We arc satisfied with j every thing. This is an honorable con-
this bill when a proper interpretation is i test, let all enter the lists and let thc
placed upon it, but not otherwise ; and judges decide. It is time to commence
Senator Toombs— Douglas— Tho next. ! ' vc maintain that the construction place’d j preparing stock as thc Fair conics off on
“ of nudes between 6 and 16 years old, 273
Presidency—and the Press.
We have only seen a brief synopsis of
the speech of the Hon. Robert Toombs de
livered'at Lexington on Friday the 26th
ult, as published in thc Evening D’tpnteh
of the 30tli. We wish we could have read
the speech entire, so that we might quote
the words of the Hon. Senator, but have
not been able to procure a cop}'.
If the speaker is correctly reported, lie
shoulders Stephen A. Douglas as his man
for the Presidency in the campaign of ’60,
and goes so far as to declare that 7/A pre
fers him to any mini of the Opposition,
North or South. A question might arise
here, what was meant by the word oppo
sition ? It can scarcely have reference in
this connection to any thing else than to
the Administration and Anti-Administra
tion portion of the democracy ; at least
for the Hon. Senator, it is charity to place
this construction upon his words. To
say the least of it, the expression is very
strong, and Senator Toombs may think
that his eloquence, ability, and personal
popularity may enable him to carry this
State for Douglas. But we think lie is
decidedly mistaken. Let the reader think
thereon by the Douglasitcs is not the pro- the 26th, 27th and 28tli instants. Read
per one. But that the construction given
by the South, and when wc say South,
we mean the true South is thc one inten
ded to be placed upon it when it was pass
ed. But more on this subject again.
It is said the Hon. gentleman was es
pecially severe upon Editors, and said
that a man who could set up a 7 by !)
sheet, and assume the royal pronoun “we,”
would assume to himself to lead popular
sentiment This may to a certain extent i
be true, and it is equally true that some
politicians think they ought to lead popu
lar opinion. In the hope that we may yet
sec thc speech entire, we will make no
further comment at this time, upon this
point; but simply ask the gentleman if
, , . , ■ supply of Scouppernong Oraiies
he does not in a great measure owe ms; . .
the list and regulations and govern your
selves accordingly.

for the last Legislature in enacting a law,
making Receivers of Tax Returns assess'
ors in certain cases.
Befqpe this year, and under the ad val
orem system, no exception could be taken
to the returns, however low, of a tax pay
er, by the Receiver; and this being the
case, many persons returned their proper
ty very low—much lower than their neigh
bors ; and others owning similar property,
negroes in some instances, being put at
an average value of two, three and four
hundred dollars, while others valued sim
ilar property at five, six and seven hun
dred dollars.
The act of 1858, made it the duty of the
Receiver to examine all the returns, and
to see that all property was valued proper
ly, and as nearly uniform as p^pible. The
result is above stated.
The State Tax of Georgia, at this time,
is indeed, low, not being two thirds of a
mill on the dollar. Just think of it! Un
der our tax system, a person owning two
hundred dollars and under only pays a
poll tax of twenty-five cents! And as oth
ers owning more than two hundred dol
lars arc put upon the same footing, a tax
payer who owns five hundred dollars only
pays a poll and property tax of forty-four
and a half cents—one owning one thous
and dollars only pays seventy-seven cents
—one owning five thousand dollars, only
pays three dollars and thirty-seven cents
—one owning ten thousand dollars, only
paying six dollars and sixty-two cents,
and so .on.

When considered in its legitimate re
sults, the success of this man is most dis
astrous to the South, and is to be greatly
deplored.
A Gulf State, whose future was full of
the most cheering prospects—making grat
ifying advancement in the great work of
establishing Caucasian supremacy-its par
amount interests rooted and bedded in cot
ton, sugar, and African slavery—what a
sad commentary is it that a man whose
whole history is redolent of treason to his
section, whose antecedents as a man and as
a politician brand him an enemy of moral
ity, virtue, truth, good faith and sound
principles, should be dragged from the
depths of his own pollution and clothed
with executive office and honor by the
very people who had blit recently damned
and buried him because he was a traitor.
Just at the time too when the safety of
Southern institutions is the paramount
question—w hen the chances are that the
Federal Government will soon pass into
the hands of the Black Republicans, and
slavery be doomed to speedy destruction,
unless rescued from the Union by imme
diate secession, we find this great Cotton
erican Governments. Gen. Harney it «
tp be presumed, pets under instructions
from the Administration, and as British
interests have within a year acquired much
importance in that quarter, it U not un
likely that trouble will grow out of the
affair.
The treaty of 1846 provided that the
line separating the British and American
territories should commence at the sum
mit of the Rocky Mountains in latitude
49 degrees, to which point it had previ
ously been brought from the east, thence
run westward with the 49th parallel to
the middle of the Gulf of Georgia, thence
southward with thc main channel to the
straits of Fuca, and through the middle of
those straits to the ocean. Now it so hap
pens that between the point where the
line leaves the 49th parallel and the point
where it enters the Straits of Fuca, there
is the Archipelago de Haro, through which
several large channels run, the two main
ones being the Rosario Strait and the Ca
nal de Haro. The former is thc one most
used by vessels going from the ocean to
the mouth of Fraser River, but the latter
is thc wider though obstructed by some
small islets. Berth are wide channels, deep
enough for the largest ships. Between
them lie a dozen islands, the chief of which
are San Juan, Lopez and Orcas Islands
and altogether they may include about
200 square miles of land, or 128000 acres.
San Juan Island is the most valuable, and
has about 70,000 acres, much of it good
soil covered with fine grass. The British
assert that the Rosario Strait is the ‘main
channel’ meant by the treaty, and the A-
mericans say the Canal de Haro is meant;
and the settlement of that dispute will de
termine who is thc owner of the Islands.
Some British subjects already occupy San
Juan Island as a sheep pasture.

Who does not believe that her Executive

to aid the Federal Government in coercing

certain than that Sam Houston would de

Douglas and Slavery.
A correspondent writing from Washing
ton to the New York “Tribune,” gives the
following account of a visit to Senator
Douglas:
Mr. Douglas appeared to take all by sur
prise by the strong and decided opinions
he expressed in the conversation. He said
that the whole slavery question was a mo
mentous one, and must be fought and
fought now to the end—and the question
whether himself or any other man was to
be nominated for, or elected to the Presi
dency, sank into insignificance in compar
ison with the great issue. He was very
vehement in his denunciations, and ridi
culed the idea entertained by many of his
Democratic friends, that by the decision
of the Dred Scott case slavery existed in
or went into the territories—contending
that no such decision had been made; or
if made, could have no binding force; that
such an idea was rediculous in the ex
treme ; he wondered that arty were found
so foolish as to harbor such a thought.—
He contended that slavery could not go
into thc territories except by special local
enactment after a territorial government
had been duly formed, and that slavery
did not and could not exist in thc territo
ries until then ; that all persons who go
into a territory before an act has been pas
sed for thc establishment of a territorial
government, are interlopers and trespass
ers, and have none of the rights of “citi
zens of the several States,” and can claim
no protection, nor obtain redress for grie
vances of the general government; and
hence they can have no legal protection,
or claim any for slaves they may take with
them.
With such views as these, Mr. Douglas
might be considered a proper candidate for
the Republican nomination.
The Chronicle and Sentinel and the
State Road.
This organ of thc Opposition party in
Augusta—the Chronicle and Sentinel—
was hard run when, in one of its recent
leaders, it says:
It is true Governor Brown pays the
net earnings [of the State Road,] into the
Treasury—after that we know not where
the money goes!”
We would like to know what is to pre
vent the editor of that paper from know
ing that important fact, if he really desi
res to know it ? Does he know where the
taxes of the people, paid into the treasury
goes ? The means by which he acquires
that information, if resorted to, might en
lighten him upon the other point A few
lines to the Comptroller General, of enqui
ry, might inform and relieve his mind of
all suspicion that Governor Brown misap
propriated any portjpn of it, or that he
has even the power to expend one dime of
it, except by authority of law, after it gets
into the State Treasury.
Pity the Chronicle and Sentinel is no
better informed!
We take the above article from the Ma
con State Press. If the Editor of the
Chronicle A Sentinel had read the letter
of Mr. Thweatt, Comptroller General, to
the Editor of the Georgia Citizen, which
appeared a few weeks ago, he would have
found out that Gov. Brown has no more
control of the State Treasury than the a-
foresaid Editor has.
Ohio.—The Black Republican candidate
for Governor in Ohio says :
“If I am elected Governor of Ohio—and
I expect to be—no fugitive slave shall be
sent back to Kentucky, or any other slave
State; if I cannot otherwise protect him
from his pursuers, I will employ the bav
onet, so help me, God!”
