THE REPUTATION of his squatter sover-
eighty dogma BY THE STATE RIGHTS
DEMOCRATS. Time and reflection have
but confirmed its mischievous tendency ::
and yet the Washington Union proposes
to lnterpolate In into the platform of the
party. Names do not alter the nature of
things, and the heresy is still the same,
and not the less monstrous, although we
give 1t the advantage of an attractive label.
The principle that the territories have the
night "to determine the character of their
oscn institutions' is not. the less repulsiye
to the State Rights Democracy, for the
captivating phrase popular Sovereignty.
The Union processes to find authority
for the doctrine of squatter sovereignty in
the terms of the Nebraska bill; and we
must confess there is too much reason in
the allegation. To say the least. the Ne
braska bill, like the Nicholson letter. is
susceptible OF construction favorable to
the principle OF squatter sovereignty; and
it was for this very reason that we entreated
the representatives of the State Rights
Democracy to procure some amendment
OF its phraseology- They did not heed
our suggestion, and now the attempt is
made to quote their own language in justi-
fication Of principle quite as odious as

Iranchise Is not farce, then the people
have right to select their rulers; if the
right To- think and the freedom to act. be
not imaginary attributes of American free
men, they have right to examine into
the qualifications of aspirants to Office, and
decide as they see fit concerning their
merits If there be none who are unfit
to be trusted as the repositories of our re-
publican rights, then is there no necessity
for the American Party. If there be
those among us, who, by reason of the al
legiance which they owe to foreign pow

aspire to become such, then is the neces-

and Mr. McGhee, were not killed, as stated
Pate was taken prisoner, and McGhee was
wounded, not dangerously.
Affairs are in very bad condition. The
Free State men were roaming about in bands,
committing depredations upon property
and killing some men. The southern men
at last accounts, had organized in larger DO,

E. c. Davis-school Commissioner.


BY some oversight, the name of Mr.. DA-
Wis, the present efficient School Commits
sioner, was not placed at the head of our
columns, with the State Ticket. We re-
ceived letter, last Saturday, calling our
attention TO the fact, and also mentioning
toe fact that some of the opposition papers
were attempting 10 make capital out Of the
omission. His name will now be found III

apparent injury, we shall see that Mr. d.
leads the American Ticket in Howard.

On Friday, juno 9th the Convention

the 18th and last ballot, Buchanan was de-
clared the unanimous nominee, Pierce run
down as low as three votes. The Douglas
ties worked hard, TO get the Pierce votes,
but finding it impossible, and when it was
evident Buchanan would be nominated,
Richardson read dispatch from Mr.. Doug

Benton Accents.

Col Benton has accepted the nomination
for Governor, and opens the canvass at
Cape Girardeau, on his way home. The
Benton democracy aie in the canvass, with
will, as will be seen by the following ex-
tract from the Democrat, of last Saturday,
The rotten delegation from Mi>souai man.
i'ested their hostility 10 Mr.. Buchanan by
voting against him on every ballot.
For once the political jugglers and wire
working office seekers have been defeated,
and the voice of the people responded to.
1t was well known fact that ninty nine
out of hundred Of the democracy of Mis-
souri, preferred Mr.. Buchanan to either
Pierce or Douglas, yet by the lowest kind
OF political juggling the vote of Missouri
was thrown against him.
Those who have been thus instrumental
in placing us in the false attitude Of hostility
10 the grea. statesman of Pennsylvania, will
pay dearly for their disregard Of the popu,
lar will.
For this glorious result the people are
chiefly indebted 10 Col. Benton, who remain.
ed in Cincinnati during the sitting of the
convention, and worked night and day for
Mr.. Buchanan in opposition to the efforts
of the bogus delegation from Missouri.
The old war horse OF the democracy vii
immedistely enter upon the canvass in Mis-.
souri,, as the democratic candidate for Gov.
ernor, advocating the election OF Mr.. Buc
hanan. That he will be sustained by tri
umphant majority does not admit of doubt
The sold war horse" is hot for old Buck
and against the rottens, land it is not TO be de
MED, but that the race for Governor in Mis-
souri,, is now between Ewing and Benton
Polk is out of the question. Those who hav
not yet "located" can now make up thei
minds whether they will have Ewing o
Benton for Governor. If the Antics wan
to keep Benton out, let them at once draw
their man and go for Ewing. Or they ma,
prefer TO go back under Benton, rather thai
unite with the Americans Nous verronS.

run down while using it until my lungs and liver
were Congested TO that degree that blood dis
charged from my mouth and bowels, so mat all
thought it impossible for me to live through anoth-
er chill. The doctors too did all they could for
me, but thought must die. Nothing did me any
good until got Rhodes Fever aud Ague Cure,
which at once relieved of the distress and nausea
at my stomach and pain in my head and bowels,
and produced permanent cure in a short time -
H. NJ. CoNKIIN says; ~ had been taking med
icine of as good doctor as we have in our coun-
ty, and taken any quantity Of quinine and specifics
without any good result, from Goth Augustto l7th
December. But seeing how nicely it operated on
my crother. got a bottle Of RHODES FEVER
AND AGUE CURE, which effected cure by
using two thirds of a bottle"

brothers say his case was the same as H. Ms. !
sold the medicine to both the same day, and the
cure was as speedy from the ssme small quaRt ity.

which is Right

Mr.. Fillmore declares that the Nebraska
Kansas act, and the repeal of the Missouri
Compromise, was "a boon to the South"
Gov. NELL S. Brown, aud the speakers and
writers on his side in this State, pronounce
that legislation an eUiLto the South.
Will the Patriot or the Banner tell us who,
in this case, is right? IAN answer is respect
fully requested = Union and american.
Mr. Fillmore, in our opinion, was clearly
right when he said the repeal of the Mis-
souri, Compromise was "boon to the
South" A 'boon" is simply a gift" or
favor granted" and it is not impossible
for gift" or a favor granted" to an
individual to prove an EVIL" to him. The
positions which our neighbor ascribes to
Mr. Fillmore and Gov Brown are, there
fore, not inconsistent with each other. But,
we do not understand Gov Brown as say
ing that the legislation spoken of is an
evil TO the South merely; but as having
been injurious in its consequences to the
whole country, in having precipitated upon
us a sectional controversy Of a dangerous
character. And who will deny that this
has been the resulty The warmest advo-
cate of the repeal Of the Missouri Compro-
mise cannot do it truthfuIy.

vile. The speeches were of the finest or
der, and told with fine effect on the audi
ence. On Friday night Messrs. Brien and
BilbO addressed the citizens of Huntsville
and were received with enthusiasm. Our
friends in that section are confident of
heavy gains for Fillmore, and the elation Of
the Americans was only equalled by the
crest-fallen condition of the Democracy.

His SYMPATHY WITH FUGITIVE SLAvEs.-A
Northern paper gives the following account of
a negro speech in Vermont, in 1851:
"At mass meetinga at Burlington, Vermont,
recently, Milton Clark stated that when he es-
capped from slavery into the free States, he
was soon supplied by his friends with letters
to different persons to help him on his way
nOrthward, and among them was WILLARD
FILLMORE, who seemed to rejoice in his es-
cape, harbored him, gave him money, and
helped him on his way"
We find the above in the Union and
american of Sunday. Our neighbor must
feel that his cause is desperate, or he would
not resort to negro testimony to damage Mr..
Fillmore. This old roorback was put in
circulation several years ago, and was au-
chemically branded as false by the Buffalo
AdUertiSer.

MIR. Fillmore and southern wings,

The following was written by Mr.. Fill
more to friend after he was elected Vice
President in lS4S:
Though l have been charged at the South in
the most gross and wantOn manner with being an
ADoitonist and incendiary, yet the Wings of the
South have cast these calumIies to the winds, and
without asking or expecting anything more than
what the Constitution guarantees to them on this
subject, they have yielded to me most hearty and
enthusiastic support. This was particularly so in
New Orleans where the attack was most violent
Really, these Southern Wings are noble fellows
Would you not lament TO see the Union dissolved
if tor other than that il separated us from
such true, high minded and noble assocatesg"
