Messrs. Dickinsol* and Bronson. The authorities most frequently quoted by our opponents during the last several years, says the Savannah Georgian & J ournal, have been Messrs* Dickinson and Bronson, of New York. Excellent authorities they were, too, as we have ever felt even when we thought them in error. We think so still. As patriots they are firm as a rock, true as steel. It is not often that the opponents of the Democracy can refer to such respectable names. — We hope they will continue tp recognize Such au* thority. Let us then commend to their consider* ation the last expression of Messrs. Dfckirison and Bronson's views. - ‘ The former in a letter to the New York ratifiea sion meeting, speaks as follows : MR. DICKINSON *8 .VIEWS. “The ticket will be elected, but not without a struggle—it will be bitterly but unsuccessfully op posed. It will concentrate in opposition all the bad elements which the degenerate spirit of the times has suffered to breed in the hot bed of fac tion—in the nursery of “faslse doctrine, luresy and ism.” It will summon to its support and unite in one grand and powerful column, not only the entire Democratic strength of the Union, but a large class of citizens who. exempt from the asso ciations of party, desire to see their beloved coun try occupy her own proud eminencf among the Nations of the earth ; desire to see her great and •diversified interests protected.; to secure for her •people the b’essings of honorable peace and ex emption from sectional feuds, and finally, to see the-blessings of a Constitutional Union perpetuat ed forever. ‘ -t ■ ‘ ” FROM THE HON. GREENE C. BRONSON. New York, June 11, 1856. Gentlemen : Nothing could be better than the action of the Cincinnatti Convention, and my heart will be with the great company which will assemble in the Park this evening to respond to the nomination of James Buchanan, of Pennsylva nia, and John C. Breckenridge, of Kentucky.— We have a platform as broad as the Union, and candidates who are not only above reproach, but. eminently qualified for the stations which they are to occupy. And besides, the foundation has been laid sos the cordial re-union of all that is sound in the Democratic Party, and the places of the few who have gone over to the enemy, will be much more than filled by good citizens from other quar ters, who see nothing but danger to the country in the movement of their former associates, and are resolved t’o stand fast to the Constitution. Let us hear no more by way of reproach about “ Hards” atd “Softs,” and former dissensions, but buckle on our armor and contend manfully for the principles which He at the foundation of the national com pact. We shall then not only deserve, but shall achieve a noble victory. * Respectfully yours, Greene C. Bronson. The Wilkes Republican. This journal, which was a devoted Know Noth ing paper last year,says the Augusta Constitution alist, noticing the tendency ot the party to which it has been identified, has-cut loose from them, and hoisted the Democrati flag. The editor says : “Let us look at the positions of the two parties as sot forth in their respective platforms, and judge accordingly. The American Party held their Con vention and put forth a platform which, so far as the slavery question is concerned, cannot meet the sanction of any friend of the South It repudiat ed the 12th sectioy of the Philadelphia Platform adopted by the party in June, 1855, which pledg ed the party to abide by the Compromises of Con gress upon the question. And not content with this, they repudiate the repeal of the Missouri Compromise, and denounce the President for sanc tioning that measure! This, then, is the position of the American Party, as set forth iu their last platform upon this issue. “Let us now turn to the position of the Nation al Democratic Party upon the same question. In their platform they do not dodge the point, but come out boldly, and fearlessly declare themselves in favor of the Kansas-Nebraska bill, which in cludes the Missouri Compromise, and deny the right of Congress to interfere with the question of slavery in the States or Territories. They plant themselves upon the great constitutional doctrine of the equality of the States. This doctrine of ■equality of States, we regard as the great question to be settled by the next Presidential contest, and upon this the Democratic Party has planted itself, and goes before the. American people to battle.— The one party is sectional and at war with the Constitution of the Government uuder which we live. The other is national and conservative. The one is moving heaven and earth to undermine the Constitution, and sap.the foundation of the Gov ernment, to rob the South of her constitutional rights, and degrade us to the position of vassals iu the Union. The other is doing battle in defence of those rights, and for the protection of the Union and the Constitution. Which of the two com mends itself to the support of Southern men ? Bhall we fight for, and beside our friends, or shall we take position with the enemy ? For ourselves, our mind is made up. The cause of the country, and the Constitution is our cause. We can see no hope for peace no prospeet for the preservation of the Union, and the Goverrment under which we have grown to be a great and powerful Nation, save in the success of the Democratic Party. “We care.nothing for names. ‘Principles and the proper men to carry out those principles,” are all we ask for. We think we have both offered us in the Democratic Platform and its nominees, avd entertaining the views we do, and for reasons in part set forth in the foregoing remarks, we this week throw our banner to the breeze, with the names of Buchanan and Breckeuridge inscribed thereon, resolved to do battle in tbeir behalf, sat isfied that in supporting them we are at the same time contributing to the best of our humble abili ty, to the perpetuity of the Government, and the preservation of the Constitution, the basis of that Government.’’ Vip.

Westport, Mo., May 29, 1856, > Border Times Office. \ Whhh I torotte last I was in the Territory of Kansas. Now, raise your imagination to the highest degree and perceive standing before yon a figure dressed in a red flannel shirt, black pants, cknli cap, and a pair of Water proof boots, with the pauts stuck inside, rifle on his shoulder, pair of repeaters, and an Ar kansas tooth-pick in a belt around his waist, and you have the subscriber as he arrived he e on Saturday, frotn'the Territory I sent yon a paper with tire particulars of the taking of Lawrence. The cowardly Free State Men would not fight us then : but since the Mar shal disbanded us, they have gone to murder ing . On Saturday night last, about 12 o’clock, a party of 20 abolition sts entered.the house of Mr. Allen Wilkinson, and iu spite of the entreaties of his wife, dragged him out of his bed and brutally murdered him ; they then went to the house of an old man named Doyle and murdered him and his two sons ; they next weut to a Mr. Sherman’s, where they murdered three mote men The only reason that can be assigned for this eold-blojded atro city, is, that the abolitionists (the Court being in session,) were afraid that these men would be called upon to give evidence against them, as many of them were charged with treason. Again, at Hickory Point, K T , they have driven off tlie pro-slavery men, and bnriu their houses, and stolen their provisions and hovses. A party will be ready logo back m the I er ritory to morrouj and every Free State Man they meet, will be-hung on a tree for the bene fit *d the birds of the air Kansas is bound to be a slavq Mate, but let the South not slacken in her ardor to make it so. We want more men ; and if there is one Southerner who ‘would not coine to revenge his murdered brethren,.let him be cursed while living, and when dead, let him be buried with his face downwards. On our w ay back, we were met by Mr. Ro binson, (would-be Governor of Kansas Terri- a prisoner in the bands of Southern men. He asked about his hoiise. He was told that after the law and order party left Lawrence, some of the abolitionists set it on fire to make capital. Thai is true. He had nothing more to say. 1 have got a “stick” from ‘The Herald of Freedom,” Lawrence, one of the offices which were destroyed that day Perhaps you may see it ina year or two —perhaps not. Kansas is a beautiful country —the soil be ing three feet deep. Traveling in Kansas is like traveling on sea ; on the latter you see nothing but sky and water ; in the former nothing but the high prairie grass and sky.— Often for miles you will not see a tree i>end Dr. T. out here ; snakes are plentiful and de mand limited. I suppose our company must have killed at least one hundred the other day ingoing abo. t six miles Indians are plenti ful also, and almost every one has a papei re presenting that he is a Chief, and on liis way to Washington. When our company first camped in the Territory, about u mile and a half from Westport, we were visited by two —man and woman—who jumped the fence and came towards us When they came up, the old man drew a paper oa us, asking f r mo ney, vhich we gave them Altera while the boys went to town, and left me to mind the tents. While laying down, I heard someone say whoo ! and on looking up, i saw a big In dian Chief, with his face painted, his head all shaved, except a top knot, with a tomahawk st< ck iu o.s beit, riugs iu his ears and nose, scud claws around his tie* k I grabbed my ri fle and jumped up aud shook hands with him ; he wanted money, aud of course I gave it to him tc get clear of him Saturday is a great day with them ; they all get dru k, and you can see two on a little mule charging down the road as hard as they can go. As for the squaws,there is nothing about them to interest you ; broad, flat face, and no shape at all.— They carry their children on their backs, tied by a string, J. H. B. A Valuable Recruit We are glad to notice that the North Georgia Times, published at Dalton and originally a Deino ratio paper, but,in the last canvass advocate of the Know Nothing cause, has at length renounced Know Noihiugisui, and raised to t e ma-t-liead the uames oi Buchanan and Breckenridge. We cordially welcome the Times back to the Democratic fold, and doubt not that it will do good service in the comi ig contest. — Atlan ta Inteligenccr The Conditiou of Texag. We have before us the able report of tho Comptroller We avail our.>e ves of some of ts valuable data, and shall endeavor in a few numbers t> present to our readers some, we trost, interesting views of our social and politi cal condition. During the last four years, the assessed acres, of land have increased eight millions of acres, or at the rate of two millions of acres per year, while the value of said land has beeu increased to twenty five millions of dollars ? or at the rate ot six and a quarter millions of dollar s per year ! We have examined the reports of several States of the Unn.u, and we are at liberty to say that thi'is aif astonishing increase and vastly b yniid the rates of luids assessi and in ai y Southern State. The average value of land per acre, which in 1852 was onlv 87 1-2 cents is now $1.28. The number of negroes assessed have iucre sed in ;he last four years twenty s>ven thousand and a value equal io twenty-three millions of dollars added to the slave capital of the ;'t. te. We turn to the census and find that in 1850, there were only fifty thousand slaves in the S ate. Here then in five years we have more than doubled our- 6lave population.

TTOTA7UI ’Si COTTON HARVESTER, FOR PICKING COTTON IN THE FIELD. rpHIS valuable machine, second only to the invention of JL ths Cotton Gin, is destined tp produce a remarkable c,hsuriS|fWH method of gathering cotton from the field It will do tii£ work of from three to five hands in picking cotti>ii from the stalk, and is evidently a labor-saving ma chine. ‘ Its benefit to the Planter is incalculable. It picks the cotton clean and free from trash, leaves it in excellent condition for ginning—obviates the necessity of exposing the hands to heavy dews, rains and cold, and from the ra pidity of its work, will enable the Planter to prepare his crop for market at an early day, leaving him time for the improvement of his land, houses, enclosures and general arrangement of the Plantation. It is light, weighing about 8 pounds, is suspended by a strap over the shoulders,and is operated by means of a crank turned by the hand or fingers. The simplicity of this ma chine is its leading feature—it is not liable. to get out of or der, and of ordinary capacity, is competent to use it. One harvester, with proper care, will last a series of years. We are now selling State and County Rights for the man ufacture and use of the above machine.
