Aaron v. Brown and Gov. Jones.

In the Nashville Union of October 9th, Is4s,
we find synopsis of speech made in Nashville
by Ex-Governor A. V. Brown, from which we eK-
tract the following passages:
Gov Brown said he was surprised at the course
Gov. Jones had pursued; that he held it dishonor-
able--aye, dishonord6le is the word--for one ad-
versary to assail another in his absence, or when
his hands were tied, and he knew no reply could
be made. This course, said he, was not the rule
of high and honorable debate.
But, sirs, understand from respectable author
ity that at Franklin (if he did it here / did not
hear it) he complained that, on my return home
ward from Mississippi, fabricated and propagated
a report that he also probably had or would return
home account of the sickness of his family, and
would not probably fill his appointments in the
last few counties, and that be denounced the in
yention and propagation of the report in the most
offensive language. Sirs, have to reply to this,
that If Gov. Jones intended then to raise ques-
ton of personal veracty with me, warn him to
remember that, in all that relates to Verdcity, he
lives in glass house so fra that boys marble
can smash it all to pieces.

original health, lustre. softness, and beauty; re-

From the Baton Rouge Advocate.
AN APPROVAL OF SQUATTER SOVEREIGNTY

The first section of the Kansas Nebraska bill
announces the true doctrine of popular sovcr
eighty when, speaking of the admission of the
Territory of Nebraska into the Union, it says:
"and when admitted as u State or States, the
said Territory, or any portion of the same,
shall be received into the Union with or with
ont slavery, as their Constitutions may pre-
scribe at the time of their admission" 1t is
upon this platform the South has always stood i;
and it is by II recognition of this principle in
regard to slavery that the Democratic party
of to-day towers in all the majesty of strength
above the factions and isms of the times We
scorn and repudate 'squattcr sovereignty"
in placing ourselves upon the Nebraska act.
Never did charge have less foundation than
that which says that bill embodes this dctcs.
table doctrine.
Prior to the nomination of Willard Fillmore
for the Presidency by the Philadelphia Con-
vention, the South was unit on the repeal of
the Missouri Compromise. 1t was approved
by all parties as an act of justice by the South.
The Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana, and we
believe the Legislatures of nearly every other
Southern State passed resolutions endorsing
the repeating clause by the Kansas Nebraska
act.
We are prepared to show that the Know
Nothing press and leaders in this State, no
longer ago than last February, emphaticaly
sanctioned this act We can prove from the
Legislative record that their clamor against
'squatter sovereignty" convicts them either of
gross inconsistency or objectionable insincerity
We can and will prove that if that act recog-
nizes "squatter sovereignty" the Know Moth

The August Ele ctions.

We clip the following from the Baton Rouge Daily
Advocate of the 18th instant.
The late intelligence from Kentucky gives Dem
ocratic gain Of within fraction of Ten thousand
in sNty-three counties!
North Carolina SO far rs heard from. has given a
majority for the Democratic candidate for Governor
of Eight Thousand, gain already of one thousand
over the averagcmajoriiy cast last year
Arkansas still remains firm to her history we are
not sufficiently informed yet however, to compare
the vote with the last given.
The result in Missouri is yet doubtful for Cover
nor. The anti-Bcnton Democrat, Polk and Ewing,
Know Nothing are contesting the ground closely.
\ united vote in November, however. leaves no
room for speculation to the result in Missouri for
the Presidency.
Iowa has gone against us for the Black Republic
cans from present ind cations. There were Fill
more candidates in this State the Democrats icrccy
disputng the field against fusion OF all the Free
soil and Abolition elements.

patience and forbearance in its discussion and
settlement: and to both North and South it
appeals and earnestly invites (by leaving it to
the Consttution) II permanent settlement of
the question, as the most important which has
been agitated from the commencement of our
existence as nation. That to the South it
is question Of property, life, and social exis.
tence-that to the North as involving the in.
estimable boon of Union. it is one of national
character, attitude and weight in the scale of
nations.
These resolutions expressed the honest con-
viction Of an honest man, and met the appro-
val of the X. n party in the legislature at
the time they were introduced. The eighth
resolution, which recognizes, without qualif-
cation, as a principle of the Constitution" the
right of the people Of Territory to decide the
question Of slavery; is the very essence of
"Squatter Sovereignty" and if taken without
with the one preceding it, meets
our unqualified detestation.
