choose to vote for him" He has declared
his position; be stands upon the democratic
platform, and that is all that we can ask
we think.it win be all the people viii require
in November We have extended this no
tice much further than we intended We
may at some future time when more at leis-
ur9, answer all the arguments advanced in
these speeches.
Our political news this week is of the most
cheering character. We have heard this
county given to Pierce and King by some
one hundred and fifty to two hundred major
ity. We believe it will certainly vote the
democratic ticket by at least that much. So
far as we can learn in regard to the feeling
existing in the State, a majority of from nine
to ten thousand, will be certainly given foI
Pierce on the Cd Of November, and we have
heard it rated as high as from twelve to eigh,
teen thousand
Our intelligence from other States is also
quite fattering. In Alabama, though the
Southern Rights party has a separate ticket
the Democracy are working manfully; anC
the wings will not be benefited by the nomi
nation of Troup and Quitman. Large meet
ings are being held at which hundreds art
present and are addressed by the ablest ora
tors the State affords. We are glad to know
this and we are certain if the democracy per
severes they will roll up larger majority fo1
Pierce and King than was given to Polk ant
Dallas in "A.
The tidings from Georgia are also good
With some four or five tickets in the Stat,
it is now a settled fact that the democrac,
will triumph The Union wings will supper
Webster and jenkins. The Southern Rights
party will supportTroup whilethe democrats
will sustain the national ticket. We woult
not be much surprised if under all these cir
cumstances Gen-Scot polls the smallest vot
in the State.
We see also in one or two wing paper
that they concede the State elections in Penn
sylvania to the democrats. The Keyston
State may then be looked upon as certain il
her support of the nominees of the Demo
cratic Convention. From North Carolina al
so, and from the gallant State of Tennessee
are heard the notes of preparation which al
ways precede victory. In fact from all tina
we can learn from every quarter of the Tn
ion the democracy are working manfully an,
we'll together and success must crown thei
efforts.
Gen. Scott still continues his electioncer
ing tour and at last accounts was in Cincin
natl. The General does not hesitate t
make speeches on all occasions when the or
portunity is offered; and generally such one
as his C2eaUeldnd address. We are glad q
this for Gen. Scott will succeed in doin
more harm to the whig cause and himsel
than almost any other man in the whole cour
try. Let the people hear him and see h1
and know him we'll, and he will become on
of the best advocates the democracy has i
the field.

In the Senate !:
Majority

Majority 90
BY these figures it appears that in. the Sen
ate the fugitive bill was passed by the dem
ocratic vote-there being in the affirmative
Is democrats to 9 wings, and in the mega
tive only 3 democrats to wings and 1 free
soilcr.
In the House Of Representatives there
were 80 democratic votes in the affirmative,
and only % wing votes. In the negative
there were 81 wing votes, Is democratic
votes, and 4 free soil votes. OF the whig
vote, more than two to one opposed the fugi-
tive bill. The democratic vote was 80 to Is.
Looking to the North, there we're only 8
wings to 26 democrats in favor, while there
were 81 wings to only Is democrats against.
Can the people of the South look upon these
figures and doubt longer which of the great
parties maintains the Union and upholds the
guarantees of the constitution? Can they
look upon these figures and doubt who should
be in:rusted with the preservation of the
confederacy?

The Roman Catholic Question.

We find in the New York Herald letter
from Archbishop Hughes, in reply to Mr..
Semmes of Louisiana enquiring how the RO-
man Catholics shall act in the approaching
election, which evinces the good judgment
and sound discretion of the Very Reverend
Prelate. Hesaysin substance that he wish
|es to see no ecclesiastical influence used, but
that each one shall discharge his duty as q
citizen, without regard to whether either
candidate is for or against the Church 81

Telegraph Between Europe and America


The London correspondent of the Nation
al Intelligencer gives the following descrip-
ton of the new project for submarine tele-
graph between Great Britain and America.
The writer considers. thisnew plan by far the
most feasible yet proposed.
We stated, few weeks ago, that pro
iect had been formed for constructing sub.
marine telegraph between Great Britain and
the United States, by route not before
thought Of, which would very materially
shorten the line Of water transit, render the
transmission of intelligence much less liable
to interruption, and most materially dimin.
ish the cost of construction and repairs
We have now the map of the proposed sub
marine lines before u.s. They commence
at the most northardly point Of Scotland
run thence to Orkney Islands, and thence, b
short water lines, TO the Shetland and tht
Ferroe Islands. From the latter a Watel
limo of 900 to 800 miles conducts the tele
graph to Iceland; from the western cost o
Iceland another submarine line conveys ii /,
zioge Bay, on the eastern coast Of Green
land, il then crosses Greenland to Juliana'l
Hope, on the western coast Of that continent
in latitude go deg. ~ min. and IS conducted
thence, BY water line Of about 500 miles
across Davis's Straits % Byron's Bay, oI

Presidential Calculations.

A late number of the New York Herald
contains an interesting guess at the probable
result of the approaching election, based up
on full statistics of the popular vote since
1924, and review of all the causes likely
to influence the result in November. Ben
nett, who is great on figures, is so full and
minute in his prediction as to embrace the
probable vote of each candidate, and also the
scattering vote which will be polled. We ex-
tract from his calculation the respective
States assigned to Pierce and Scott, with the
majorities annexed, according to which Pierce
would receive majority of 182 electoral
votesand plurality of $4,000 popular votes.
For PIERcE-Alabama 1000; Arkansas
8 600; California 3 900; Connecticut 8 900;
Delaware 500; Florida 500; Georgia 10000

We learn from our late exchange papers,
that Franklin +. Plummer died recently in
the city of Jackson, in great want and desti-
tuition. Mr. p has filed the offices of Cir
cult Judge, Representative in Congress, and
was once a prominent candidate for the U.
S. Senate, and was only defeated for that ex-
allied station by 2 votes, his successful COM
potitOr being the Hon. r. J. Walker. We
have known Mr.. Plummer long and intimate
ly; both in his days of prosperity and adver-
sity. He possessed noble traits of character,
but like many other men, he had his faults,
and giving way to the demon, intemperance,
he was step by step brought to the very low
est condition in the walks of human life
This it is true was his position at the close
of his career, although he formerly exercised
d, powerful ain commanding influence in this
State, and his friends adhered to him with
fidelity long after he was untrue to himself and
his own position in the country.
Mr.. Plummer' was always charitable and
kind hearted, and while he had means, the
destitute and forsaken never applied to him
in vain. While there is much to admire il
his history, let his faults, which are insepara
BILE to fallen humanity, be forgotten and bu
ried with him. lie has gone and forever
and his misfortunes should be a warning tt
the young men of the country, who are com
mencing life with fair prospects and troops
of friends, to avoid the fatal Rock on which
somany men of brilliant talents and genius
have stranded their little banks, and entirely
shipwreckcd themselves and all their antici
patiOns both in this world and perhaps some
times in the one to come.
