Southern standard., 1851-10-18

Our accounts lom Mississippi show that the
submission candidates, for the Convention,
carrying every thing before them. In most every
county they have been elected.
We know OF no more appropriate name for the
Convention that will meet, than submission Con-
| vention. Meet and submit, and invite the North
to continue her aggressions upon the rights of the
South
We are astonshed that, Republican people,
SouthernerS, ;ley should be so blind to their
interests, unmndful of their prosperity, as to
suffer their rights nfringed upon by people whose
object is nothing else than to make an inroad up
on their fresides, and reduce them, if possible to
level with their thousands OF paupers, who throng
their cities and towns, destitute of the comforts Of
life, far worse off for the comforts of this world
than the most humble slave that ever worked upon
southern plsntaton.-Atobomo Standard.
NEGROES EoT WANTED IN CANADA-The Roch-
ester Democrat expressing belief that the ne
| 5roes OF Indiana intend emigrating en- naaSSe TO
Canada, the Toronto Colonist remarks
! We earnestly trust that there is no such calam-
| ity in store for us Already we have a far great
er number of negroes in the province than the
good of the country requires; and We would sug-
sest the propriety of evying poll tax on all who
may come to US for the future. Such tax must
at present be paid by emigrants arriving in this
country from all parts of the British dominions,
and We see no Just reason why we should use the
negroes better than our own countrymen. We ab-
hor slavery, but patriotism induces to excaim
against having our country overrun by blacks,
many of whom wofully depraved by their pre-
Vious mode of life
The Journal of Commerce says that T. s. Sene.
tor Chase, OF Ohio, has issued manifesto in which
he announces his intention to adhere to the plat
form and support the ticket of the Ohio Democrat
/ Ic Convention. But the ground of this determi-
nation is, that he considers the action of that con-
venton, besides being acceptable on other topics,
as in effect endorsing the free-so doctrines. ''It
is true (he says) that the convention adopted no
distinct resolution concerning the fugitive slave
act bnt the position of the democracy of Ohio in
relation to that odious enactment is sufficiently ap-
parent, not only by the censure passed upon it by
the convention IN the unanimous denomination of
Governor Wood, and the approval of the counsels
of his naugeral, but from the democratic press Of
Ohio upon it,
| Col. CRITTENDEN.-As the public has felt much
interest to know something of the personal history
of the late Col. Crttenden, of the unfortun-
ate victims who was shot at Havana lady friend
who knew him well, informs us that he was the
second of the Hon. Henry Crittenden late of
Shelby county, Ky. His mother was daughter
of the Iamented Col. Allen, who fell at the battle
of Tippecanoe, and she is now the wife of Col.
Murray, of Cloverport, Ky. Mrs. Allen, the
| grandmother of young Crittenden, was daugh-
ter of General Logan, one of the most Distinguish
ed of the Kentucky pioneers. Col. Crittenden
was also cousin to Col. Hardin, of Illinois, who
/ SO gallantly fell at Buena Vista He had in his
veins, of the best blood of Kentucky both
on his fathers and his mothers side, and it is
greatly to be deplored, that he has met so sad
fate.-[ st. Loais LnteLligencer.
A GREAT CuRIosIrr-We saw Yesterday one
of the greatest curiosities ever exhibited in this
city. 1t was negro boy about FIVE years old,
born in Shelby county, from jet black parents,
and while about one half of his body was as black
as the skin of his parents the other half is as
white and fair as the skin of any white person.
On the white portion there are numerous small
black spots, and the black portion several white
spots. Take him all in all, he Is about as odd
looking specimen of humanity as we have ever
seen. He belongs to Mr.. Joseph II. Oliver
Louisville Courier.
/ Wepublish this week, an article from the .Soath-
ern Standard on the issues involved in the present
ION est for governor The Compromise papers pub
shed very ex ensively an article from previous
number of the same paper, and we think they
ought TO publish this also, that their readers might
see one truthful view, of what is really the sut-
ject in controversy in the present canvass.
If they intend to act fairly and honestly, tley
will do this We think it would be best for them
in the end But if they think their chances for
delusion. let them vocIferate loud and long TIE
!, cry of Union. Prehaps credulity is not yet ex-
!, hausted, and the raw head and bloody bones which
looked hideouS the political MI ght of Septem
ber, may still be UndiveSted fits terrors under
October sun. "-Nadisonion.
