We now invoke the people of the South, ofall par
ties to open their eyes and the game which the
Northern Democracy, by the aid and connivance OF
their Southern allies, is playing oil upon the country
1t is precisely the old game 10y which they have
often succeeded in imposing upon the public, and
obtaining CONTROL of the Government The Cincin-

vent the hungry and INSCRIPTIONS wire-workers of
the party from clutching them, no matter what may
be the fate of the South in the scramble.

Brown and III arris at Winchester.

W lNCHESTBR, July oil, loOO.
Dear Sir-The candidates for Eector, Messrs
BRowN and HARRIS, were with US yester-
day, and l cannot forbear taking the present
opportunity to hurredly drop you lire rela-
tive to their speeches, regretting that | am I'M
able to notice them at length, as they deserve.
Gov. Brown commenced the opening speech
in that pleasing and happy style peculiar alone
to himself, and for two hours held the large
crowd spell bound with his eloquence and ar
gument. He took up Mr.. Buchanan's record,
and gave him one of the most scathing and
unrelentng examinations; showing that he had
no claim on the people for their support, COM
pared to that of the conservative and union
loving patriot and statesman, Willard Fillmore.
His arguments were Overwhelmingly convince
ing, aud, as have not time to elaborate as
sure you that lie maintained his former high
character as a standard-bearer in vindicating
triumphantly the claims of the American can
didates.
Mr.. Harris followed him in a speech of two
hours, an hour and halt of which time he
exhausted in efforts to prove the democratic
party the only national party in the Union.
From some cause he never answered Governor
Browns arguments, but spoke in evasion of
nearly all the points at ISSUE until his time
was out. Mr.. Harris doubtless is pretty
good speaker, and some OF his political friends
here endeavor to claim for him a victory in
this discussion, but it won't do. Old Buck,
with his federalism and abOlitionism is too
heavy load for him, and is certain to get
heavier at each of their appointments before
the 4th of November. After Gov. Browns
rejoinder of halt an hour, he closed the discus
sion.
The debate was conducted throughout with
rIsa1 and kasls ed
showing good taste in each of the gentlemen
that is rather uncommon in these latter days
of Johnsonian Democracy.
Rest assured that ais well in this county.
Fillmore and Donelson men are eager for the
4th of November to come, that they may test
their fidelity to the Constitution and TO the
Union. Respectfully,
Nashville daily patriot. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1855-1857, 1856-08-02
SATURDAY, AUGUST 2, 1865.
The Missouri Compromise.

This concession of the South, agreed upon in
1920, with the hope of appeasing the fanatis
cism of the North, has turned out as Mr. JEFF
ferson foretold it would, most disastrous for
the interest of the country. Always repudi-
ated when it conhicted with the interest of
the North, she has observed it only when it
could be prejudcisl to the South Union and
american.
Does the senior editor of the Union and
american remember that he and his con-
federates in the Southern Convention were
in favor of extending this concession Of
the South" to the Pacific Ocean?
Does he know that JAMES BUCHANAN in
his celebrated BerkS county letter, of date
August oath, lS47, speaking of the Mis-
souri, Compromise, said:
at is not for the descendants of either party
in the present generation t. cancel this solemn
compact" that "under the Missouri Compro-
mise slavery was forever prohibited north Of
sc deg. 80 min, and IN Hly opinion the
harmony Of the States and eren the security Of
the Union itSeLE require that the line Of the
Missouri Compromise SHOULD BE EX-
TENDED To Any NEW TERRITORY
WHICH We MAY ACQUIRE FROM
MEYICO"
In concluding his letter he offered the
following sentiment
"The Missouri Compromise-its adoption in
1920 saved the Union from threatened convul-
sion; its extension in 1913 to any new territory
which we may acquire will secure the like
happy result"
Does he know that JAMES BUCHANAN, in
the Senate of the United States, April
25th, 1886, (See Cong. Globe, page 328,)
speaking of the Missouri Compromise,
said:
''He regarded THIS COMPROMISE, considering
the exciting and alarming circumstances under
which it was made, and the dangers to the ex
istence of the Union which it has removed, TO
be almost AS SACRED AS CONSTITUTIONAL PRO-
VISION"
Does he know that JAMES BUCHANAN, in
his letter to Sanford, Of date August 2lst,
l848, says:
"HdUing urged tie adoption Of the Missouri
Compromise, the inference is irresistible that
Congress in my opinion, possesses the pow
TO leglSlate npOn the SUBJECT or slavery IN the
Territories. What an absurdity would it then
be, if, whilst asserting this so VEREIGNTY
POWER IN CONGRESS, Which pOOer from
ats nature must be EXCL SIVE, | should in
the very same breath also claim this identical
power "for the population of a Territory 10 an
unorganized capacity"
''In conclusion, desire to reterate and re-
affirm every sentiment contained in my Berks
county letter. telling TO the Missouri COmpro-
mise pith greater tendcity than eDer, and get
firmly 6eLieUe that it UiU be adopted by Con-
greSs."
1t will be recollected that this extract
from the Sanford letter refers to the terri
tory acquired from Mexico, to which he
desired the Missouri Restriction to be APP
piled.
The last soUrcnir in regard to this ICON
cesSion of the South" which we have for
our neighbor, is his celebrated assertion,
that ION this rock (the extension of the Mis-
souri, line to the Pacifc) we take our
stand and the gates of hell shall not pre-
vail against us"

Grcnt FilImore pemen.tratlon In Tror,


The Fillmore demonstration at Troy, on
Tuesday evening, July ED, was 1910 come
again Although il was advertised only as
club meeting, yet there were from eight to ten
Thousand people present. ii this is the way
they get up club meetings in Troy, we would
like TO know what a general mass meeting
would BET The meeting was held 10 front Of
the court honse-the large court room having
been filed TO overiowing before the people be-
gan 10 come. Silas X. Stow, Esq, President
of the Fillmore and Donelson Club, presided.
Mr. Stow has been for twenty years a pro-
minent member of the Democratic party so
has Archibald Bull, another active Fillmore
man in Troy. And We notice among the sign
ers OF the call large number Of old line Dem-
ocrats Of that city.
Speeches were made by Erastus brDoks, Of
New York, and Mr.. Slower, OF Troy, recently
a Hard Shell Democrat, and one OF the most
influential men 10 Rensselaer, county.
Rensselaer, gave the American ticket 1900
majority last year. twill give Fillmore 5000
IN November. The leading Democrats of that
connty have, with few exceptions, abandoned
Buchanan-the Free-solers going for Free
mont, and the Hards for Fillmore. Fillmore's
majority in New York, from present indica
lions, win not be less tLsn s0,000i As goes

Curious Case of Disability.

Mr.. Francis A. HOFFMAN, late Republi-
can candidate for Lieut.. Governor of Hi
nois, publishes letter in the Chicago Tn
bune of the 25th, of which the following is
a material paragraph:
"Upon examining the Constitution Of our
State, find that it requires fourteen years cit
izenship TO make any person eligible to the Of
fee of Governor or Lieut.. Governor. Not pos
sessing this qualification, (having been natu-
rallied 10 lS46) | am under the necessity of
Withdrawing my name from the Anti-Nebrasks
ticket"
Mr.. Hoffman is thirty-four years old, has
been for sixteen years a resident of the
State of Illinois, and for ten years a citi-
zen, but the Constitution Of the State pro-
vides that no one who is not at least thirty
fire years of age, and has not been a citizen
of the United States fourteen gears, and a
resident of that State for ten years, can
hold the Office Lieut.. Governorship) for
which Mr. Hoffman was namcd-CiRan-
natl Commercial
1t should be remembered that Illinois,
up TO 1854, had always been a Democratic
State; and that the Democracy are responS-
ibie for the clause in the Constitution, re-
ferred to, which is a good one, but rather
in conflict with the present policy of the
party.
