From the Lo,.isiana D.maerat.


We give to-day report from memory Of an
impromptu speech delivered before the Dsmo.
cratic nominating convention, by Gen. John 3.
Gilbert, of Caddo. Those who heard that manly
effort will observe that whilst we have given the
substance of the generals remarks, la many
places literal copy Of his language, we have
somewhat altered the construction of sentences,
and perhaps exercised reporters right in other
respects. More than this we have not attempted,
for neither can we paint the lilly nor gid re-
fined gold. y
Gilbert is no longer stranger here Fame
had heralded him as one of the most eloquent
and captivating speakers of the State, and if the
opinion of one who has had rare opportunities
of seeing and hearing the masters Of oratory
may be taken for anything, he must copy the
very first rank among the public speakers of the
day. His appearance is quite prepossessng, and
he has the grace, ease, and elegance of manner
of a favorite at court Self possession in him
is perfect, and the grace of oratory are shad-
owed forth in his every movement and tone.
His time will come.

What arc We ContendIng for I!

The resistance contemplated by Sonth Caro-
lima, and threatened by her sisters has the pro.
lection of the institution of slavery as its chief
end ard object Year after year have the arch
friends of aboltionism been plotting and curry
ing out their internal schemes against this insti.
tuition, and the only wayma ks in their progress
have been at the periods when the South
begged for parley, and made such concessions
as temporarily appeased the evil spirit. But
there has not been a single trace left or record
standing, by which we can learn that the South
ever gained the first ot or title of exemption
from further aggression. The work has gone
on, and it is only when overwhelming destrnc-
ton becomes apparent TO almost every body,
that a feeble show of resistance is manifested.
But another parley has been held, and the mas
ter compromiser has struck another effectual
blow at the Union and strength of the South.
lie has seceeded, but we earnestly trust, and
hopefully believe, not altogether. There has been
one too many, and prudence whispers that
another would be the last and finishing stroke.
The protection of our institution then--the
absolute and inherent right to manage Il rs we
see fit, is one thing South Carolina will secede
for, and the first duty she owes to her own honor
and TO the protection of the rights Of her people
demand that she should defend the one and
protect the other, be the consequences what
they may.
Closely connected with the protection of
slavery is the arresting, as far as the South is
concerned Of the progress Of a consolidated de-
mocracy. Republicanism--a confederated re.
public is widely different from a central despot-
ism. swayed and governed in all its actions by
reckless majority. When the fathers of the
gc vernment declared that these States are, and
of right ought to be, free and independent" they
had no idea that they were upsetting one form
Of despotism, that sent its oppressive edicts
across the Atlantic for the purpose Of establish
ing another at home. They declared the STATES
free and ependent--lndependen within them
selves, and free to exercise their respective SOW
ereignties TO protect their own citizens from any
aggressions from any quarter. But their sons
have learned new lesson in republicanism,
which defines the principles Of that form Of gov
ernment TO be all concentrated in the will of the
dominant major ty, unrestrained by constitutional
obligations, and boldly denying that the States
thus declared free and Independent, ever pos
sessed any sovereignty at all.
This is the progress that the South must con-
tend against Let such doctrines become on
grated on the government, and where IL any
protection to her rights and institutions to be
found! The institution cf slavery and the prin-
ciples Of free trade and equal taxation would
fall before them with most fatal certainty. And
are we to be told that the Union must be pre-.
sered-be perpetual, when these are the sure

MEXICAN AFFAIRs.-The N. Y Herald says:
We learn, by telegraph, that the Mexican Con.
gress have passed bill for the formation of an
alliance, offensive and defensive, between all
the Spanish American republics. The object
of this movement is no doubt, to stave off The
fate which inevitably awaits the country, and
which must occur before long. With foreign
debt beyond her ability to pay; with deficit
accrung every year with weak and imbecie
government, threatened by insurrection at home,
and blockade from foreign power, Mexico
may well look around her for some method of
prolonging her existence. We doubt the FEAST
biIity of the proposed alliance destiny has
plainly marked the fate of all the Spanish
governments on this continent, including Cuba.
The handwriting is on the wall, ard the time is
rapidly approaching when they-one and all
must give way to another, and more vigor-

The European serf, and many above his con-
dition. have not that chance. They are trained
to believe with the eyes shut-to give credit to
uncomprehended things-to shun wordy diff
culties. The theologian manages that for them.
He is bred to handy about words, wrangle about
phrases and passages which have harassed the
learned for 1900 years or more, and interpret
things which he cannot comprehend.
New these delicate points which have amused
and shaken the religious world so long, without
probability of coming to an understanding,

The stories of golden plates with hero
.glyphics on them, (Which Joe could alone inter-
pret,) found in hole in mountain, &C., and
discovered to him in dreams, seems monstrously
absurd. Yet why not believe in them?
Every one acquainted with the old world
knows that word-quibblings has shut out much
of real religion. Divine mysteries are recognis-
able at once. But the contradictory dogmas of
men find less favor with the masses In the
brave old times this splitting of hairs, and dis
secting OF invisible distinctions produced more

When, then, new propositions arise for the

with the State of Indiana, whether free black
man of, for instance, the State of New Yoik,
in which he enjoys all the rights and privileges
of freeman, can be forbidden from entering
the former State! 1t seems monstrously incon-
sistent that in the one he should be able to vote
for President and at other elections, and vet
within the limits of the United States, which has
chosen the said President, he can be forbidden,
as freeman, from going where he likes, or into

NEw ORLEANS, Sept. a.
The steamer Cherokee arrived this morning
from Havana. The passengers witnessed the
execution of Lopez. They say he ended his
life manfully.
The total failure Of the expedition is at
tributed to the delay in receiving succor From
the separation of Crittenden's command, the
patriots had dispersed to the mountains, only 80
remaining with Lopez. They left him, and
without a single friend, he wandered until run
down, and was then taken by blood hounds.
