A few days since wo referred to the great mortality among children, ami sorno of tho Cannes The reason why so many children dio, says Hall’s Journal of Heath, is because they arc not taken earc of Worn tho dsy of their hirth they nrn stupefied with food, choked with physic, sloshed with water, suffocated with hot rooms, and steamed with bed clothes. So much for indoor. When permitted to breathe a breath of pure air, once n week in summer, and once or twice during tho colder months, only tho nose is allowed to peer In day light. A little later they ate sent out with no clothes on all parts of the body which most need protection. Hare legs, bare arms, hare neck, girded middles, with an inverted umbrella to catch the air and chill tho other parts of the laxly. A stout, strong man goes out in a cold day with gloves mid overcoat, woolen stockings, and thick, doublo soled boots, with cork between and rubbers over. The same day, a child of three years old, an infant of flesh and blood and houcs, and con stitution, goes out with shoes as thin as pa per, cotton socks, legs uncovered to the knees, neck all buro : an exposure which would disa ble the nurse, kill the mother, and make tho lather an invalid for weeks. And why 7 To harden them to a mode of dress which they are never expected to practice. To accustom them to exposure which, a dozen years later would be considered downright foolery. To raise children thus for the slaughter pen, and lay it to the Lord is too had. We don't think tho Almighty hod any hand iu it. And to draw comfort from the presumption that lie had an agency in the death of the child, is a presumption and a profanation. - X-fT Was not tho young girl in a had wav when she wroto to her true awain as follows : Dear dim, enm rite off if yn air cummin at awl.

We have space only to say that, in our humble opinion, no unprejudiced man in tiic South coulJ have heard that speech and not liavo been convinced that Breckinridge is the man for the times. Durtng the whole time consumed in its delivery, almost the en tire crowd were attentive hearers. Occasion ally a lb-11 mau would leave when Col. Jack son exposed with u master band the black ness of their candidate’s record. The s|s-ak er was respectful in all ho said. When Col. Jackson concluded, a recess of about thirty minutes was taken, after which ihu crowd re turned to the stand, and listened to a short, but very interesting speech from Hon. A. 11. Colquitt. He discussed the so called platform of the Bell party, proved it enunciated no principle, am) hence was unsafe for Southern men to stand on, unexplained as it wag. His remarks had a happy effect. At uight, the lion M. M. Tidwell, the Aim-rleon candidate for Congress in this District in dddres sed the audience, composed of hyiii ffcxcs. Wo wish every Opposition man in America could havo heard him. Ho boldly declared that lie was proud to he called an advocate of such men as Breckinridge and Lane. Ho said lie planted himself on their platform. In speak ing of Mr. BockiuriJgu'a speech delivered at Ashland, Sept. sth, Mr. Tidwell said it was the “greatest effort of man to bo found from one end of the earth to tho other.” Loud applause greeted tlio nponW at the end of nearly every sentence. Few men in Georgia are more capable of entertaining and instruct ing n crowd on political subjects, than M. M Tidwell. The election in November next will make known in unmistakable tones tho effect produced by Jackson, Colquitt ami Tidwell. ICiilcs for it t;iintl Overseer.

Ms. Editor :—I see quito a lengthy article in your issue of the 28th inst., intended, I presume, as a reply to one from me, which appeared in your issue of the 14th inst., al though a person could hardly tell whether or not- it was so intended, if it was not for the statement of the case upon the docket, so to speak. Tho case stands thus : Protection vs Justice. Prom tlio caption, therefore,l take it for granted it was so intended. But were it not for a few quotations from mv article, I would havo been as ignorant from reading the piece, of its intended applicability, as “ Pro tection” seems to Ire of the position I assume in relation to his dogma of restriction to the Court* ns tho only means of redress the slave owner has against unfriendly legislation by n Territorial Legislature. And as to his “ Bill of Indictment,” charging me with “ nnpnral lelled stupidity, or “wilful and intentional mis representation,” I would say it proves nothing hot “Protection’s” ignorance of criminal plead ings. And were “ mipnrallelied stupidity” a crime punishable by the law, and as misery love* company, I would have the consolation of knowing that I should have my friend “Pro tection's- ’ company in prison. Were the law en forced against all who are guilty of this most unfortunate offenco. But I can assure my friend *’ Protection,” ft bat if we are ever arraigned before a Court for this offence and tho Stales Attorney ia>fu lifi-d for tlie office, we will not have the privi lege of quashing the Bill of Indictment on nccounct of a disjunctive allegation of the of fence, ns lie would have render.,d the Bill hu pr.'f.-rs against me. It is an old rule in crimi nal pleadings, familiar to every lamjer, that the offence must not bo stated in the disjunc tive. If so stated, the defeat is fatal, and the Bill must be quashed. Therefore, Mr. Editor, T move that you enter on the docket, in “Protection’s” case — Bill ijmtshrJ. But, Mr Editor, were it ill my power to waivo this defect iu my friond “Protection's” bill 1 would willingly do it. and go to trial. I should rc nuiu mute as to the charge contained In the first part of the count, ami leave it f„r an in telligent public to puss upon the is-ue, unlike “ Protection,” who would fain pass iqsm bis own ability. But as to the latter part of the count, I should pl.-ad not guilty, and read my articles upon tlio trial ; and if the Court was possessed of half the discriminating power that “Protection” claims (ot himself, l should have no fears of ts-ing found guilty. And if I believed there was any one who chanced to read them, who docs not fully understand mv position as to the prartirul effect of “I’rotec lion's” doctrine of restriction to the Courts, as tho only remedy against unfriendly legisla tion, 1 would willingly make a second attempt nt illustrating mv first position. But lam fully persuaded there are none of th.-seso im bccile iu mind, and wanting in understanding, as to say that “ Protection's” version of my article iu relation to bis doctrine is legitimate. And 1 most willingly exeuso ntysclf from en tering upon tho Seemingly impossible la-k of touching a single part of his understanding -which is alive to tbo faintest comprehension : and therefor* desist from making any further argument in favor of my position on thi* oc casion, being pressed fi,r lime, in consequence of professional engagements, hut would m the spirit of all kindness request “ Protection - ’ to give my articlo *\ c-rol, cairn, nod dispassion ate review : that while it does not contain half tlio argument which might be brought to hear in support of nay position, I think that on a second reading, mv friend “Protection” would be prompted to take back bis impnta • ion of ili- honesty, nnd give to mo the game degree of that commodity which ho c airns tor himself; for I certainly claim as much honesty in giving vent to my political opinion as “Protection,” with all his boasted integrity I havo written this far, not iu the spirit of re venge, but in justification of myself. And if 1 had the remotest idea of offending my friend “ Protection,” I could not be hired to oiler it Tor publication, What l have written hereto fore, I do not tlniik is in any wise calculated to embitter my friend's feelings, notwithstand ing the harsh charges be has seen til to bring against mo : and if I have any “thirst for a paper controversy,” at all, I can assure mv friend it is fora friendly controversy, and noi one of stubborn vindictiveness. Nothing is more repugnant to my feeling*. Before 1 conclude, Mr. Editor, I propose to notice n new feature in “Protection's” article. Ho says “ that die result of my position amounts to a denial of tho people’s right to self-gov ernment nnd in this connection I under stand flint to allude to the people of the terri tory who compose the Territorial Legislature; or, in other words, the people of a Territory while in a territorial condition. If lam cor | reci in this, I express myself satisfied with the conclusion nt which “Protection” . onto*; for i 1 maintain that tlie power of self-government Cannot exist, in the absence of sovereignty ; and I havo yet to learn that there ever lived a men who merited the name of a statesman, who ever contended a territorial government possessed the elements of complete sovereign ty, or that the people composing such a gov ernment could under our form of government perform acts of sovereignty, nvc one, and that is the formation nnd adoption of a Con stitution to I).’ admitted into tlie Union ns a Stale, and even they are restricted in this, un til their population is increased to a specified number. Webster, the great Constitutional expounder, on this subject holds tho following language: “ We havo always gone upon the ground that theso Territorial Governments were in a state of pupilage under the protection or pa tronage of the General Government. The Territorial Legislature has a Constitution pre scribed by Congress. They havo no power not given by that Congress. They must act. within tho limits of the Constitution granted them by Congress, or else their acta become void. The people under the Territorial Gov ernment are not a sovereignty, and do not possess any of the rights incident to sover eignly. It is the duty of Congress to pro vide for the people of a territory a govern ment; to keep the peace, to secure their prop ertg, to assign them a subordinate legislative authority, to see that tho protection of their person and security of their properly are all regularly provided for, and to maintain them in that state until they grow into sufficient importance, in point of population, to bo ad mitted into the Union as a ifitato, upon the same footing with the original States.” But my friend * l’rotection” says: “When Congress confers a Territorial or ginizatiou npuu a Territory, the right of self government passes with the Territorial or ganization to tlm people of said Territory;” and, )8 he, “suppose though tho Territorial Legislature enacts somo statute which tlio davcholile-r considers unfriendly to his slave property, who but tho Courts have the right to determine whether the Constitution lias been violated or not ?” In answer to that question, I say, that un less “Protection ” can show we live under a diffbrenl form of government to that of 1834, Congress has the right; fur iu flint year the Territorial Legislature of Florida legislated unfriendly towards slave property, by laying a tax on the slaves of non-residents higher than the tax on those of residents. The non-resi dents appealed to Congress, not the Courts, for redress. The Congress Committee said : “We think Congress should always protect the property of tlie citizens of the United States when subjected to the operations of unjust legislation by territorial governments;’ - and they reported a bill enacting that ail such acts as those complained of should he null and void, and further, that an attempt by any one to enforce sad acts, should 1 punished by fine and imprisonment, which was passed by an intelligent Congress almost without dis sent. Yet “Protection” says Congress has no right to intervene. “ Protection ” says, “ I propose to go to Congress only after the Courts hare made the decision against me.” It will clearly appear by reference to my article that this Is 4 only mMftional evidence of “Protection’s” obtuseness of understanding— (for I will not impute to him dishonesty in “knowingly and intentionally “ misrepresent ing me) —But it will appear, as I before re marked, that I said I was perfectly willing to be protected by the Courts, so long as they Could offer that which was adequate, and i argued to sh iw they could not do it, which has not been refuted by “Protection.” If I am correct in this position, I repoat that “Pro tection V - doctrine of restriction to the Courts only for protection against unfriendly legisla tion in a Territory, amounts to a practical de nial of the right of protect ion by the Federal Government. This is my lamest opinion, giv en, not for the purpose of quenching a “thirst for newspaper controversy,’’ but only in exer cise of a g, oat constitutional privilege, every freeman of this Republic has. According to “Piot-c<ion’.* - ’ own showing, he has but one other fact to learn before he will acknowledge it is a Oi-rrect opinion. That fact is, tho peo ple of a Territory are not capable of Self-gov ernment. In conclusion, my dear friend, let me admonish you. with all the anxiety of a well-wisher, to go, read, and learn.

Secondly, that tho Territorial Legisla tures deriving tlioir powers from Con gress, tho trustee of equal atul Sovereign States, could not directly or indirectly e.xeluilo or impair tlie validity of slave property ; and thirdly, that the Govern ment in all its departments, is bound by tho Constitution, and by the duty which the sovereign always owes to Hie subject, to protect the slave bolder in his rights, These principles, in varying phraseol ogy, but always identical in substance, have been over and over again, ineorjtor ated into the platform of the party, gath ering intensity with each repetition, and more and more prominent iu every can vass. Itt 1857, and in 1856, tlio only questions of Federal politics discussed by public speakers, and by the ptesß of tlio Opposition, wero thoso connected with the status of slavery in the Territories'. It rose and does still riso far above all topics of mere administrative |>oliey in asmuch as it involves tho perpetuity of tho Union, and the duration of the Gov -U—m *, under- otn>titirtiwfeltfr* guarantees. Regarding tho decision of the Supremo Court as presenting a common ground on which all parties at tlio South could unite, without doing violence to long cherished prejudices, and to which the trno and loyal of every section would ultimately come, when tho form of fanat icism had exhausted its fury, wo invited all men everywhere to unite in its main tenance ; and especially called npon tho Democracy lo give up the equivocal phrases of the Cincinnati Platform, stud adopt in its stoad, the principles of tho Constitution as expounded by the court. Actuated by the spirit of patriotism, and with perfect sincerity I declared before ns-murided thousands, in tho canvass of 1 5 59, that 1 sought no party advantage ; 1 only desired tbo recognition and en forcement, by political parties, of the ad judicated rights of tho South ; tlmt if the Democratic party, when it met in convention, adopted a platform plaiuly and distinctly avowing these principles, and placed a sound man upon it; and tlio American party failed to do the sain®, 1 would vote for the Democratic candi date. I made the promise voluntarily because it was right to make it. 1 will fulfill it, not reluctantly, but willingly, with my whole heart, for tbo very 6atn reason. 1 might evade it by a quibble, In the first place; by denying that tho antisw Democratic party had come up to the standard of truth and justice. But 1 never expected that. 1 felt confident that whenever tho rights of slaveholders were, without evasion recognized by th party, the frce-soil clement of it would abandon it, I never expect to act in af filiation with that portion of tho party. A majority of tho States of the Unioik with a considerable number of delegatee from the remainder have come tally up to t he requisition made upon them, have boldly asserted our whole rights, and are magnanimously battling for them. 1 might evade in tho second place, b 7 contending that my old party associates had done equally well. 1 wish it was possible for mo to do so. It would itavo saved mo much regret, and spared me no littlo cm harassment; but my re gard for truth iorbids it. The convention of tho party which met in May last as they have always done when disconnected with allies at the North, declared with spirit and manli ness for tho rights of their State and Section, but tho delegates whom they sent to Baltimore consented to ignore the whole question ; and agreed to ac cept, instead of the plain spoken resolu tions which they carried with them—the unanimous sentiment of their Constitu ents—of an empty unmeaning generali ty, calculated only to deceive and af ford an opportunity to betray. “ The constitution, the Union and the enforcement of the Laws,” is a motto aa
