L rev Fountain Of Political uouor,

The Natchez Free Trader says that Foote. the de.
fender of the political purity and orthodoxy of Willard
Fillmore, in late speech at Fayette in this State said
lf any of the States Rights party expected to get
INTO the next Democratic Convention at Baltimore to
nominate candidates for the Presidency and Vice Pre-
sdency, they would be mistaken unless they coud ge,
his Certificate OF their fitness humble as he was,
This caps the climax-it goes bow-shot beyond
all that we had supposed Foote capable and we knew
that he was capable of almost anything requiring i'm
pudence and reckenesses of political truth to attain
But the idea of obtaining certificate of fitness as
necessary antecedent to taking seat in the Baltimore
Convention srich, and were not that there NAV ex
list much Inwritten biography Of what will constitute
"FlTNEss," the declaration would amount to nothing
beyond the vaporings Of morally diseased mind. ami
head that is given to egotism.
We are very free to say that we hold that Foote and
his followers infinitely better ftted for seats in n
National Convention than any State Rights democrat.
On the broad ground that State is sovereign and NOS
esses the power in the last resort to Judge of and de-
eide on nractions of the Constitution it NAV well no
questioned whether Convention holding contrary
opinions, would admit to a seat State Rights man
But another necessary prerequisite exists. No man
is fitted for who denies that slavery is excluded
by the Mexican laws from our Southwestern terri
ries-Northern democracy requires this ! Northern
democracy claims jurisdiction slavery in the fed
eral District the dock-yard and arsenals. 1t claims
the right to exclude slavery from the territories by d.
rect legislation 1t claims the right coerce State
by force OF arms-t claims the right set at defiance
the laws oCongress passed in pursuance of the Con-
stItuuon-t claims the right of passing laws discrim.
mating between the property of the citizens North
and South 1t is probable, therefore, that certificate
ot"htness" from Foote will be necessary to insure
seat and fellowship with the Northern democracy bv
any Southern State Rights man.

Union Beacon and Jefferson Davis.

The Beacon, published at Macon, Noxubee county.
Nil contained in its issue of the 22nd ult an editorial
well calculated to misead the people. That journal
has on several occasions seen proper to on
and once or twice complain Of the pursued by
this paper. We have on occasion intended to be
either unkind or disingenuous with that paper. We
have, on the contrary, been disposed to do it full JUS
tice and overlook It's little dashes at the Standard
believing that it the result of momentary petulance
rather than deliberate design to be unjust towards
its opponents. But the article now purpose COM
men1ng and exposing contains proof that it seeks
to attain end by disingenuousness.
The Beacon says that it learns from a source ent-
tied to credit that JEFF Davis asserted in his speech at
Wahalak that the States OF New York and Virginia.
in the ratification of the Constitution of the United
States, expressly reserved the right to withdraw from
the Union" We cannot deny that Col Davis did say
She may have said SO. But are ndisposed to be-
ieve an opponent when detect a want of candor
in other portions of the statement and deductions
Ii Col Davis made the statement it is bat fair that
he or his friends for him, have the advantage of an
open and candid hearing before the same auditory be-
fore whom the charge has been propogated. If Col
DAVIS made the assertion attributed to him. it is lit.
tie singular that it should have been so long withheld
from the pubc and is still more singuarthat when
the statement is made, and the proofs produced TO
snow he knew better when he asserted what he did
that reyy material parts Of the proof suppressed and
his accusers have counted the ignorance of the
people and not he. Let the Beacon publish the en-
tire ratification OF the New York convention and hen
talk about counting the ignorance of the people,"
If the Beacon desires cnlighten the readers

Withdraw from the ITnion we tandor II m ,u.;.

Gc0IgG VI. Dallas, Letter.

as this letter does from of enlarged experience
ana great political sagacity-a who was born and
educated at the North and who understands not only
the feelings and sentiments of the people among whom
ne resides but the tendency of that opinion against
which he warns the South, it must exert moral inu
ence commensurate with the subject discussed.
That the compromise has failed we are fully an
prised and it needed not the certificate of Dallas TO
prove It, But the admission is important not that If
has failed but that of its friends and supporters
and he Northern man, should have had the manliness
to announce this conviction to the world This is the
more remarkable when we remember that but very
few Southern Subs admit its failure. But Mr. Dallas

BuchaRan'S Journal of Nan.

We have received the lst vol of a periodical hear
ing the above title and take pleasure in directing the
attention of our readers TO the prospectus and terms in
another column.
Or. Buchanan spent time in this city a few
years since, and made favorable impression upcn
those with whom he became acquainted, as a gentle
man, and profound thinker, an able lecturer and
as man OF no mean professions TO scientific attain
ments. The Journal Of Man has made an impression
in the Literary world, and its influence is felt through
out the western States The Doctor is a man of en-
er and each number proves that he relies less upon
the aid of others for the interest and caacter mpart
ed TO his Journal than upon his own well stored mind
Without endorsing the philosophy. or any of the
peculiar notions Of the spiritual world ncucuted by
of the contributors the Journal we recommend
il valuable and singulary entertaining work. well
worth the subscription. To medical professional and
general scientific gentlemen We would say, send for
the J-urnal if you gain no scientific facts. you

waging war on the institution of slavery, and saPng
the foundations of the Constitution itself
Mr.. Dallas proposes amendments to the Constitu-
ton. Under ordinary circumstances we should op-
pose amending the Constitution in the manner pro-
posed that is, by addidg guarantees for slavery
We should oppose amendments for these purposes on
various grounds, but it is not at all likely party will
spring up in the South demanding additional guar
antics for slavery. If Mr. Dallas favors an amend
ment prohibiting Congress legisating for OF against
slavery, it is probable that should consider of the
proprety of such amendment. At any rate, the fact
that Northern has been forced admit that a.
mendments necessary and that the interest of the
South as well as the safety of the Union demands
them. is concession to the progress of truth That
Northern should admit what thousands of the
Southern politicians deny-that amendments are ne
cessay-proves that the rights of the South are not
safe in the keeping of such men Foote and Howell

asked, what issue has been decided by this election
IL Is dhcut to answer this question satisactoraiv-
1t we are to take the platform of the cooperatonsts
We should say that the State is bound to resist in some
form the late compromise acts. Before the election
the cooperation speakers and writers announced that
Carolina was pledged to resist the late action of Con-
gressor, - other words, she could not submit to them
honorably. While they opposed immediate secession
they admitedthat they looked it the on raed vet
protested that they unwilling to adopt it without
the cooperation of States TWAS evident
from the first that no State would move with Carolina
and the cooperation party have avaed themselves of
that fact and controlled the State We shall now be
deceived If Carolina does not glide quietly, and not
very honorably, into submissionism. Time will tell
the tale

The Standard will be sent to Campaign subscribers
until the 18th of November. Those who wish it con-
tinued, viii notify US by letter otherwise. The
coming year will be one of party strife as the South

candidate The STANDARD will not be an idle specta-
tor in the approaching strife. The past is appealed

duct and of the STANDARD has met the approba
ton of its readers cherish the hope that they will
continue their support. As our State elect
ion over, we shall give to our ample columns great
variety of reading matter, both foreign and domes
tic, and commercial news. But the feature, the one
in all probability likely to distinguish the STANDARD
from its cotemporares will be early developed. II
is hoped therefore, that those who have followed US
through campaign with appreciation will abide with
US to the end. Columbus, Oct. 18th, 1851.
TIncomplete returns are in from the Virginia
elections-not enough decide certainly the charac-
ter of the result, but it is supposed to be generally
democratic. Caskie in the Richmond district beats
Bolts or 500. This is ofthe noblest trumphs of
the day. Caskie is sound out and out State rights
man. But recently met with full report Of dis
cusson between Caskie and Bolts, which came off at
Richmond, and in our judgment man ever got such
mauling as Caskie gave Bolts.
O-rWe direct the attention of our town readers to

poses to teach, and to US with testimonials of

Col, Jeff, Davis,

On last Saturday the distinguished soldier and hon.
est politician whose heads this article address
ed large and enthusiastic auditory the court house
in this city, He has partially recovered from severe
attack of congestive fever which resulted in almost
the entire loss of the sight of the right and the partial
blindness of the left eye But his mental faculties
are unimpaired sure but that the disease
of the physical frame has tended sharpen and point
the mental force of the man. His speech was pointed
and telling, and no who heard it could deny it
was one ofgreat power and force 1t had an electric
al influence the audience. 1t is not our intention
to give synopsis Of this Speech and we shall simply
say it was most admirably fitted to the occasion and
the circumstances.
In the evening Col. D. c. Glenn, of Jackson ad-
dressed the people. Col Glenn is beautiful speaker
and most cogent and pointed reasoncr He made
some happy hits at the great Union party and when
he turned his satire upon Foote and his apostasv 70

eloquence that enchanted the audience We have in
this canvass heard nothing so severe upon Foote from
any speaker. Butwe cannot give the points made bv
the speaker without doing him manifest Injustice and
we only can wish the audience had been the entire
voting population of old Lowndes, instead the frao

a HoIABLE CorToS FAcT.-A return recently
issued of the qualities of cotton imported in to
England, presents some remarkable totals In
i05o, the imports from the United States were
Aus J So. ll2 lbs, while in I84e, there had been
o54' 5o4 Gao lbs. On the other hand the imports
rom the East Indies were 1l8, 87e, Tag lbs, in
l1oo' the total in $40 having been only 10 $685.,
2lo. Thus. while the quality imported from the
aase indies IN l849 was equal only to about II
cent oil that imported from the United States,
- was equal to nearly Is per cent. The
Importation of Cotton from all parts last year was
90 sol lbs, against 755, 469 ole lbs, in
ts IL also appears from the same return that
declared value of England total exports to the
on',eu states was f1l.971 ,o28 in l849, and
j ooi .96l in 1880. As the value of the ex-
Por1s 70 all the world in the latter year was f7l,-
1t follows that the trade with the United
states was nearly go per cent Of the whole.
