SEVENTEENTH DISTRICT, us it is all well, and wc, and our property : co - nty made themselvcs extensively use- Xo offam!Iics ' Fob tiie Staxdakd. 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.

On the night of Wednesday, the 30th : distance of 240 miles. 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. Pofh on Douglas.

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!”
