Hear Geo. P. Morris.

Th. veteran editor of the Home Journal,
one Of the most uncomprou Using old hard
shell Democrats In New York, speaking of
Mr.. Fillmore, says:
Whatever may be said Of the principles
of the party (American), there is no deny
ing that they have selected noble standard
bearer. He is a man without reproach in
his private relations, and politician OF dis
interested patriotism. Although self
made man, he is possessed Of varied learn
ing and profound skill in the Silence oil
craftsmanship. More than all, he has a
sterling Roman iirmness, and is an honest
man-such as the country needs in these
times, His indifference to political prefer
ment is admirably shown in his absence
from petty man9uverings, on tour of Tor
eign travel, in which he is gathering knowl,
edge for future usefulness TO himself ant
country.

Suspension of Work.

The Audrain Signal Of the 10Th ult.,
says: Last Sunday evening, the contractors
on the North Missouri Railroad on the Sec
tons east and west Of this place, received
notice TO suspend work after the first Of
September. The same notification has been
served on all contractors on the road above
Danville, and the Engineer corps above that
place will also be disbanded early in next
month. The means and energy of the CON-
pany viii be directed to pushing forward
the work between st. Charles and Danvlle
In this course the managers Of the road
are, no doubt, acting for its ultimate benefit
and early completion 10 this place, although
its immediate effects may be discouraging
The serious injury 10 be sustained is thai
done 10 contractors, who are thus great,
disconnected in their operations, and may
sustain pecuniary loss. 1t is confidently
asserted by those who ought TO know, tina
this will be the means Of the completion o
the road TO this point much sooner than i
would otherwise have been done, it will en-
able the operators to lay the track as the,
proceed, and thus have the use of the roat
for the transportation of materials, &c.
The prospects Of the road are not in tn
least injured by this arrangement.

Who Will Endorse Himp

The L. M. Keitt, who delivered the
speech of which the following is an extract,
Is the same Democratic member Of Congress
upon whom the vote Of censure was passed,
and who resigned and has been reelected.
He is certainly good authority with the De-
mocracy. Listen to what he said:
Erttact of speech delivered at Barnwen
Courthouse, s. C., on the 10Th of October,
1866, by the Hon. L. N. KeiH.
How fares il with the Democratic party?
Its banners still glance in the sun, and its
legions still rally at their chieitain's bid
dings. But what inscriptions are on their
bannersT And what cries resound over the
field? Are not the Softs the Democratic
party in New York? and have they not up
on their flag the Wilmot Provlso, in the
shape Of "uncompromising hostility to the
extension Of slave territory?" Did not Big
Ter, in his canvass for Governor Of Pennsyl-
vania, carry banner with ftee.soil on one
side, and conservatism on the other? Did
not the party in all the New England States
skulk from the slavery question, and super
vene 10 local issues? Is the picture any
brighter in the Northwest? Where, in all
that region, save illinois, have the cons,itu-
tional rights Of the South been boldly up
heldP How stands the party even upon the
Nebraska bill? In the free States it is
maintained upon the ground of squatter
sovereignty and alien suffrage, and North
ern facilities for colonization. Can the South
uphold it upon these grounds? Who, here,
Nx,ill ibo ~
squatter sovereignty, born of political cow
ardce, and selfish ambition? Where, then
is the unity Of the Democratic party? II
differs in the defence even of its lundament.
al measure. Here and there at the North
a noble leader and body4eilard stand firm
but they fight in hopeless battle.
"Who," he asks, twill endorse the mon.
strous doctrine of squatter sovereignty, borr
Of political cowardice and selfish ambition!'
The answer is, James Buchanan does fol-
he says in his letter of acceptance that 9Th,
people OF Territory, like those Of a State,
can decide for themselves whether SLAYER,
shall or shall not exist within their limits.
And what is more, James Buchanan
knows that Martin Van Buren,, the arcl
Free soiler, lends him willing support o.
the very ground that he does advocate thi
doctrine, "born Of political cowardics an
selfish ambition" If James Buchanan wer
an honest man, and did not hold this doc
trine, he would undeceive Mr.. Van Burer
and not permit him to delude his follower:
His silence, and his receiving the snppol
of Martin Van Buren, upon this principle
shows conclusively one of two things
er that James Buchanan is dishonest ina
and politicians or that ne does hold this cd
GUS dogma. If the one, he is unworthy
confidence; if the other "who here will e.
dorse the monstrous doctrine" by voting f
him?
