PUBLIC SPEAKING.

The candidates for the Convention addressed
quite numerous audience at the Court House
in this city on Monday last.
The discussion was opened by Capt VIM.
Barksdale, Union He had been speaking some
twenty minutes before we entered the Courr
Room. We found him discussing the Conpro.
mise measures, which did fully and in a very
clear and forcible manner. lie made man,
strong points, showing the policy as well as the
necessity Of acquiescing in the Compromis,
measures, and the danger and folly Of larthe
agitation on the subject. But we took no note
on the occasion, and even if we bad, the spac

SOUTHERN RIGHTs--DEMOCRATIC
STATE RIGHTS.

Il il known 10 those who have been close OBJ
servers upon the political movements in this State
for the ldst three years that the politicians have
attempted to lead the people that in some things
they made great mistakes that in some things
they deceived the people, and tha. in regard TO
some things they have repented, or have pre-
tended TO repent in "sackcoth and ashes," and
have done, and are doing their best to meet what
they have asccrtained to be public sentiment.
For instance, the entire delegation Of this State,
with the exception Of Gen. Foole, have endea
vored. by The use of The franking privilege, to
prejudice the minds Of the people against tho I'D.
jusiment, but notwithstanding this great odds n.
gains: these measures, the judgment ofthe people
has been exercised, and majority Of them are
clearly in favor Of ucquiescing in these measures.
How mighty is truth, when opposed by alschood!
Different persons will have different views as to
the TACT, that the four Representatives, and ono
Senator Of this State, opposed the acquiescence
Of the State in the adjustment and favored the
dsorgauizing and Obstructive policy of senscless
politicians In regard to the Compromise Many
will doubtless attribute il 10 blind devotion to
party, and determination on their part TO op-
pose any measure, however just for the purpose
Of resisting an administration, whose general
politics were opposed to their political opinions.
One thing is certain, II is remarkable that they
should be so unanimous In opposition 10 mea-
sure which1ecieved the counIenance and sup
port OF an administration which they opposed
and hated with hostility, like the battered Of
the damned towards the elect. But such is the
fact; and their bitterness would be moro bitter,
if possible, than The trials Of wrdth." General
Foole. Of the whole delegation, is the only one
who had the magnanimity to rise ADORE partv
prejudice, and support a measure, for the good
# The country, rather than endeavor 10 make
capital out Of h for the advancement Of his own
party.
1t il no wonder that Mississippi was taken b,
surprise. 1t is no wonder that the general sen
tment Of the people condemned the Compro
mise. Il is no wonder that political aspirants 9
all parties focked 10 the standard OF what wa
called the Southern Rights Party at that time
believing that i, would have the ascendency i
tbs State and the South, and would be the big
road TO all offices. 1t was a fee ban for hungry
aud un.ashed, and dissatisfied office seeker
who had tom time TO time, been rejected by th
people. Southern Rights: that was name un
der whlch all wings and democrats might writ,
10 favor Of the constitutional rights of the Soath
OF course. no man@ho had any interest in III
South. could be opposed to the rights of n
South. A man Sho could be found opposed

lPoH q such protests a. The leaders ofIhs South
lem highs Party might see proper to adopt.
Gov. Quilmau headed the party ia this State
Col. Davis, Of The Senate. seconded his views

ing to their political keigh. The main bOdy
Of The wings could not be duped, or lursd BY the
hope ofgelting into a big party. Many Of the con
scieneious portion Of the democratic party stood
maniully by the whiga They saw, from the
message Of Quitman-the speeches and letters
Of Davis-the refusal Of the resisters in extra
session 10 sasaia the Unon-that a spirit was
at work, reslless ard determined, as that Of the
great Disunionist, who, in olden time seceeded
from Heaven-tO destroy The Constitution cfthe
United States, and to throw into confusion and
civil war ibis great cOnederaey.
This was SO apparent, that the old JaeksOn
Democracy, who had ever warred with QuItman,
refused to have any part or lot in the unholy and
suicidal designs Of the former leaders Of the dem.
Ocra,ie party. They thought it also matter of
some surprise, il the measures proposed, and to
which they were required to give their assent
we're truly democratic, that SO many of those
who had headed The whig party for elections and
members Of Congress--members Of the Senate
and the Legisatures--should suddenly be found
the most honOred leaders in the ranks.
The consequence was that the name OF South
erH Rights was abandoned-the policy Of
Southern Rights leaders impudeny denied
in the face Of documentary proof and new
name with the view of dupelng and catching the
democrats, boldly assumed.
Let the democrats engaged in this crusade a.
gainst these former democratic teachers, as
taught by Jackson, and others of their once re-
nowned leaders--look to their fate as pronounced
by the Jackson democracy Of North Alabama.
Let the wings who have abandoned their party
IN the hope Of luxufa'Dg for once In their lives,
in majority, look to ths success of those wings
who, in Tennessee, have stood by the admins.
tration in opposition to schemes OF Disunion,
whether open, concealed or pacific.
If the change ofname from Southern Rights
to Democratic States Rights, was not designed
to catch the Democracy, the history of this
change was not understood by those who had
the greatest show in bringing II about. But
such is the fact, and its object, though not in the
language above stated. was avowed by The au
thors of the new name. II was bold move
ment, and TO some extent, has succeeded. 1t
has caught the gudgeons. As a party manGuvre
II was commenced too late. The Democratic ban
ner should have been hoistcd before the dis.
union principles Of the message were written and

Fugit,re SLAVE Cdse.-The Philadelphia
Bulletin, says that on Monday afternoon color
ed man named Daniel Hawking, apparently
about thirty years ofage, was brought from the
Lancaster county Jail, where he had been serv-
ing out a sentence of three months for larceny
He is said to belong to VIM. NJ. Rsteau, of
Baltimore, Nd. from whom il is alleged he alb
seconded year ago last June. Before his con.
victon l,r larceny he had been residing at CO.
lumbia, Pa. The master obtained information
OF his conviction, and on Saturday night last in
company with constable Agen who had a war
rant for the arrest of the fugitive, granted by
Commissioner lngraham, proceeded to Lancas-
ter. The term of imprisonment of the alleged
fugitive expired on Sunday night at IL o'clock.
few minutes before that hour, the master and
Constable Agen went to the Jail and paid the fine
and costs of Court in the suit, and at IL o'clock
arrested the slave in the prison and in the morn,
ing started for Philadelphia, where they arrived
about o'clock on Monday afternoon. A com.
mitteee the Abolition Society were in wait
ing at the office of A. Roberts, IT, S. Marshal
having probably obtained intelligence, by teIe-
graph from Lancaster, ofthe arrest. Before the
hour of o'clock arrived, which was fixed for
hearing, this committee had obtained writ of
habeas corpus from Judge Grier, of the u. :.
Circuit Court. to have the body OF the alleged
slave before him. The hearing took place on
Tuesday morning, and after the examination of
several witnesses, the indemnity of the slave was
sufficiently established, and he was ordered to be
| delivered to the claimant. A warrant 10 remove
the slave was made out by tho Commissioner
and put into the possession OF U, s. Marshal A.
f. Roberts, who started for Baltimore, at
o'clock, with the slave in custody. r. NJ. Lee
and Bennett appeared for The claimant, and d, P.
Brown and R. P. Kane for the fugitive. The
Bulletin says:
"The excitement which prevailed upon the
first attempt to carry the law into execution has
entirely subsidized. Some half dozen colored mem.
bers of Abolition Societies, were in attendance
at the hearing, apparently more with view to
see that the proofs were ample and the proceed
iugs regular, than with desire to embarrass the
case by throwing unnecessary difficulty in the
way Of the master obtaining his legal rights"

We believe the summer sols,ice has been fatal

There used to reside a member of the family in
