Johnson opened the debate, and gave a succint account of hss acts m Congress- he dwelt more particularly on the Compromise measures the democrats were entirely satisfied with hiS explaaa ton of them. Mr. Preston followed in a speech of two hours, charging Mg. Johnson with disunion views, in relation to his opposition to the ConpzS mise measures, Mr. Preston said nothing about the old issues that have so long divided the whig and democratic parties; his purpose seemed to be 10 divert public attention from them, in hopes to make some political capital, by using the Union hambug. Mr. Johnson replyed, showing up whig- gery in IS true eolors, the democrats and whigs will fali back upon then old party issues, excep, Johnson will gel some Southern rights whigs, the democrats of Pope are all Southern rights men iu their feelings; no county in the State will give a better account of themselves ou the first Monday in August next, than will Pope.
