Hurrah for Joe Brown and the management of the State Road 1—JrU. Oct. bth. The above extract was published in our pa per of Oct. 5th. Two subscribers. Huson k Johnson of Kingston, and the Crutchfield House of Chattanooga, have returned their pa pers to this oii.ee- the former with the article marked, and the latter we suppose for the same reason.

We believe the people of Georgia will sustain the present administration so long as they con tinue to jay $25,000 into the Treasury.

We should be glad to hare some authentic information, as to whether Judge Douglas In Sis recent speeches, does really hold'the opin ion ascribed to him ih the following extract of a reported speech: “It is stated that Judge Douglas in reply to Mr. Lincoln’s inquiry “Can the people of the United States Territory in any lawful way. against the wish of any citizen of the United States—exclude slavery liefore it becomes a State ?” Has said: “I answer emphatically as Mr. Lincoln has heard me answer a hundred times on every stump in Illinois, that in my opinion the people of a Territory can by law ful means exclude slavery before it becomes a State.” The enforcement of this idea by the Illinois Senator would practically nullify the right of a Southern man to carry his property, and to the commoin territories of the Union. The Dred Scott decision would be utterly worthless to protect that property the Constitution of the United States xvonld fail to guarantee those rights which it was in. tended to maintain and protect. Hi* Democratic party [ cannot tolerate a doctrine so utterly at war with its well known principles on this subject, and no man can oc cupy an exalted position in its ranks who at- vi-ry tempts to introduce a hercsyjso fatal toils existence. Until a territory shall by its own volition organize itself into a State, and frame a constitution which shall he its organic law, tie: property of the citizens of every State in the Union must be protected if not by the lo cal laws, by the Courts of the United States, and should a territorial legislature refuse to pass any laws at all to protect such property, slaveholde rs, would and ought to be protected by the Federal Judiciary.

The insinuation/ thrown out by some of the papers that there exists among the “old line "Whigs” a feeling of hostility towards Mr. Bu chanan and Mr. Cobb, is not true so far as re lates to myself. The preservation of the na tional Democracy, however, demands that the power of the government shall not be used to crush out passible candidates for tlie Presidency in 1800.

I hope there is no “cat in the meal tub.” The wretched organization pro poses to lire by democratic aid. It will get none from me. I never failed to support the administration, till it. departed from our platform, m our Central American relations. When it captur ed Walker and his men “mostly from South ern States” to please the British, I thought it did wrong and Tom/ so. Its effort to shuffle off the responsibility upon -the poor subaltern who did its work, was both mournful and funny. I told Mr Cobb then, the South would never stand it. Mr Buchanan was I mest, I have no doubt. “The Count,’. “Si Gore,” and “My Lord Napier,” had “hon- ugled" him, with all his acknowledged d iomatic ability, with the idea of getting Cuba. 'Hu wishy-washy articles in the London Times about our taking Cuba, was “to throw dust ” 'Die treaties of Fir Gore and Monsieur Belly, and other divelopments almost demonstrate that the President was swampd.

Beyond all doubt, the destiny of the Smith, as well as the gl”ry of the Union, is wound up in Mexico, Cuba, and Central America. If these vast re gions are permitted to bo settled and colonised by European governments, either with free lain r, to hem in crush out slavery, or with slave labor, to compete with our productions, the South, is ruined beyond ail controversy and the glory of the North forevei diminished.-— Will the President stand the tire ?

It would not make anybody drunk. But when it stood a long time und fermented, it had alchohol in it, and then it made people drunk, and then it would sparkle and look bright ill the cup, just as it says here - ” ’“Well, read on sister, f wont interrupt you again.” So Amelia read from tlie twenty-third chap ter of Proverbs: “Who hath woe? Who hath sorrow? W ho hath contentions? Who hath babbling? Who hath wounds without cause? Who hath red ness of eyes? They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seeks mixed wine.” “Look not upon the wine when it is red-- when itgivclh its color in the cup—when it moveth itself aright. At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder.- Thine eyes shall behold strange women; and thine heart shall utter perverse things. “There!” said Amelia, “I guess that is all about that.

Webster, at a glance, had the sagacity to foresee that her? testimony, if it contained anything of importance, would have great weight with the Court and Jury. He, therefore, resolved, if possible, to break her up And when she answered to the first ques tion put to: “1 believe,” Webster roared out, “We don’t want to hear what you believe; we want to hear what you know!” Mrs. Greenough replied, “That is just what I was about to say sir,” and went on with her tes timony And notwithstanding his repeated efforts to disconcert her, she pursued the even tenor of her way, until Webster becoming quite fearful of tiie result, arose apparently in great agitation, and drawing out his large snuffbox, thrust his thumb and finger to the very bottom, and carrying the deep pinch to both nostrils, drew it up with a gusto ; and then extracting from his pocket a very large handkerchief, which flowed to his feet as he brought it to the front, he blew his nose with a report that rang distant and loud through t he crowded hall. Webster—“Mrs. Greenough, was Mrs. Bodgen a neat woman ?’ ’ Mrs. Greenough.—‘T cannot give you full informa tion as to that, sir; she had one very dirty trick.” Webster—“What’sthat, ma’am?”— Mrs. Greenough—“She took snuff !” Tiie roar of the Court House was such that the fu ture defender of the constitution subsided, and neither rose nor spoke again until after Mrs. Greenough had vacated her chair ior another witness—having ample time to reflect upon the inglorious history of tlie man who bad a stone thrown on iris head by a woman.—Bos ton Ledger. for her a good state room, He did as directed j It has al'varn been with the exception of giving her a desirable! cdumb creationtxmi *! ef ofinii r " Or tasponiieiitl the foj ,ne that thJ vessel; anil on her arrival at j outran- ‘^mentsT^ lu ll with the steamer, she found ! heard a do? sq,,.

The funeral, at which the friends of the deceased, or of the surviving relatives, are ex pected to be present, shall be confined to the procession from the house to the church, and the ol’Sequies performed in the church. 2. No carriages shall be permitted but those containing the pall-bearer: and the immediate relatives of the deceased. The wearing of mourning shall be a test of their connection with the deceased when more than two car riages are used. y. All others attending the turn ral go on foot from the house to ih>- church, and arc conaidc red dismiss* d when the obs* quies are performed. 4. The priest who isto< Jiiciate •;ill receive the corjise at tiiedoor if tiie church, in accord ance with the requirements o" tlm ritual He should be informed beforehand who has charge of the fun ral. Befon receiving th* corpse he will ask this person publicly whether he * n -• jt 3 to see ti"-rules here laid down faith fully followed, and whether they have been followed up to chat time. Unless uu ansvx r be given in the affirmative, or if it be certain that that they really have been disregarded, the corpse wi 1 i not.be received into the church. 5. When more than two carriages are used the person in . barge of the funeral should bring a list of tlie sane to the officiating priest and satisfy hi i that they are occupied by tlie persons above referred to. This list signed i\v the prie; . will entitle such carriages to the admitiaii’ e to the cemetery.
