The south-western. [volume] (Shreveport, La.) 1852-1870, 1856-09-24

Who WILL ENDORSE H1M?-The hon. s. NJ
keitt, who delivered speech of which the fol
lowing is an extract, is the same Democrat,
member of congress upon whom the vote of cen
sure was recently passed by the U. S. house
OF representatives, owing to his knowledge O
Mr.. Brooks intention to chastise Sumner, anc
who resigned and was unanimously reelected
He is certainly good authority with the demo
cracy. Listen to what be said:
Extract of speech delivered at Barnwel court house
5. g., on the 18th Of October, 1855, by the hon
S. M. keitt.
'How fares now with the democratic party?
Its banners still glance in the sun, and its ie-
gions still rally at their chieftains' biddngs.-
But what inscriptions are on the banners, and
what cries resound over the field? Are not the
sotts the democratic party in New York? and
have they not upon their flag the Wilmot pro-
V'so, In the shape of uncompromising hostility
to the extension of slave territory?" Did not
Blger, IN his canvass for governor of Pennsyl-
vana, carry banner with Freesoil on one side,
and Conservatism on the other? Did not the
party in all the northern States skuzk from the
slavery question and supervene to local issues?
Is the picture any brighter in the north west?
Where, in all that region, save Illinois, have
the constitutional rights of the south been boldly
upheld? How stands the party even upon the
Nebraska bill? In the free States it is main
tanned upon the ground of squatter sovereign
ty, and alien suffrage, and northern facilities
for colonlsaton. Can the south uphold it upon
these grounds? Who here will endorse the
monstrous doctrine ofsquatter sovereignty born
of political cowardice, and selfish ambition?- 80
Where then is the unity of the democratic par
ty? 1t differs in defence even of its fundamen-
tai measure. Here and there at the north, a
noble leader and body guard stand firm, but
they fight hopeless battle - See Charleston
Mercury, October 20, 1855.
"Who (he asks) will endorse the monstrous
doctrine OF squatter, sovereignty, born of polit-
cal cowardce and selfish ambition?'' The an
sweris, "James Buchanan does, for be says in
bis letter of acceptonce, that ''the people of a
territory, like those of q State" can s.decide for
themselves whether slavery shall or shall not
exist within their limits
He can now add that James Buchanan, the
democratic nominee for president, advocates
and endorses this "monstrous doctrine of squat
ter sovereignty" and that Martin Van Buren
endorses both nominee and doctrine
The Columbia Is. C.) Times publishes a let
ter from southerner in New York, exhortng
it, after the same style used by the Buchananites
here and elsewhere, to aid in giving the undi-
vlded vote of the south to Buchanan, for, ar
CUES this patriotic correspondent, Buchanan
cannot afford to lose a single southern State
be must get them all or be defeated. The
Times we'll exposes the 'assumacy" of party
tbat 1at rba oL
under which it was to go forth to battle, that
imposed upon it candidate not Of its choice
and now call upon it to elect him almost un-
aided. 1t says:
GA disclosure is made by our correspondent
and we call attention to it especially. 1t is ad-
mitted that unless the south unite upon Buch-
anan he will be defeated by Fremont-notwith-
standing Mr.. Buchanan was forced upon the
south by the northern delegates, who, with the
aid of Virginia, voted in a body up to the 9Th
ballot npon the ground that he was the most
avalIable-now we are told that unlees the south
rally upon Buchanan and unite in his support,
he will be defeated. The trick which has been
brought to bear upon the south is now being
looked upon by the north as likely to turn out
a failure, and hence the house is implored to
unite against Fremont. If the showing of our
correspondent is correct-the south being uni
ted she can elect her .choice-whv was she not
allowed to make her choice? Why force upon
her Mr.. Buchanan?''
That the political character of The times may
not be misunderstood, we quote its own defni-
ton of its position
"We are opposed to all the parties oftbe coun-
try, except a southern rights party, and will do
nothing calculated to give strength to any of the
former at the sacrifice of the latter. We are an
old line statesrights democrat, and will not con-
sent to the elevation of a whig, black republi-
can, or any other aspirant north of Mason and
DIxon's line, to the presidential chair"
PHoroeRApHy IN FoRG1NG.-A curious cir
happened on Saturday, which, says
the Paris correspondent of the Boston Atlas,
may be just as alarming to you as it proved to
US. The science of photography has, for some
time past, been the rage among the young men
of fashion in Paris and has been carried to great
perfection by many ofthem, but none to great
er extent than by NJ. Aguado, whose success
tul studies from nature are we'll known among
The artists OF every country. On Saturday
morning this gentleman sent word to the ex-
perts of the bank of France, that he had at
length th'succeeded SO fully in the imitation Of one
Of the thousand franc notes that he defed them
to detect land to show his perfect conviction of
the impossibility Of discovery, he warned them
that the note would be presented at the bank
between the hours of one and three ...-
According to this intimation, the whole of
5he experts were assembled at the caisse, and
each note broughtin was submitted to their ex-
animation before it was accepted. The hours
passed by, and no false note had appeared; the
whole of those presented during the interval
specified lay in a row spread out before the ex-
oerts, who already crowed over the idea that
NJ. Aguado had not dared to hazard the expert
nent, when, just as the clock struck three, in
ne walked, smiling and triumphant, with a
thousand frank note in his hand 'sWe]l, have
you detected my forgery?' asked he, with the
greatest GOODNESS. .'No," replied the head ex-
pert laughing, "for a good reason-you never
'ent it" "Why, there it lies right under your
