The Memphis Eagle d. Enquirer talks
scnsibly as general thing, though it is
but seldom that it says anything better
than the following: @
''The Appeal, in the true old Disunion
wien, says that ,ce are preparing to sub
NIT" In case of Fremont's election. We
are ready and always prepared to submit
to the Constitution and laws of our coun-
try. Should Fremont be legally and con-
stitutionally elected, either by the people
or by the House, (of which there is no,o
little danger) we shall wait till he commits
some overt act of treason to the Constitu-
tion and laws before counseling resistance.
MOreover-when We do counsel resistance
we shall be for fighting the battle IN the
Union Disunion will be the death-knell
of the entire Republic. Anarchy, Civil
War, Servile War, Military Despotism
must follow In their order

Messrs. Etter &; Ho,ciey:
Sirs Some time In the early part of
last spring L announced through the col
umns OF the Hampstead Democrat that L
would have no further connection with
the American Party believing that there
was something wrong, from the fact OF SO
many changes in their platform. Since,
however, | have duly cosidered the mat
ter, seen the corruption of the so-called
Democratic party, and the dOmineering
principles OF foreigners, even In cur own
town: There are only three and they at
tempt to govern the whole town. Thus it
is that boldly come forward and publish
to the world my reunion with the glorious
American Party feeling assured that it is
the only national party now in existence.
In our recent State elections l cheerfully
gave my support to Gen'i YELL and Col.
FOWLER, and now | wish everybody to
know that | intend to vote for that patri-
otic, Union-loving statesman, WILLARD
FILLMORE. Respectfully,
j. Z. MCDONALD.

What Does it Mean?

A resolution inviting Douglas toaddress
the Massachusetts Democracy was offered
in the Massachusetts Democratic Conven-
tion, the other day, and referred to Com

the sleep of death. What does that mean
Are the Massachusetts Democracy afraid
TO let the Little Giant come among them!
Is the father of the Kansas Nebraska bill

mocracy? Very strange caper that-Vsr1-

Several of the prominent candidates on
the Massachusetts Democra tic State tick

the Massachusetts, Legislature elected on
the Fusion ticket, and voted for CHAS-
SUMNER for United States Senator -
This is "what it means" Our "natural

A Fillmore Speech.

A B. NORTON, Esq, of Ohio, ad-
dressed number of our citizens at the
Court House in this place on Wednesday
evening last, in behalf of FILLMORE and
DONELsoN. Very much to our regret
we were absent, and failed to hear him.
His effort we hear spoken of in the high
est terms by cur political friends and un-
sparingly denounced by our opponents,
which latter fact affords very good pre-
sumptive evidence that it was telling and
to the point We find the following very
complimentary notice of Mr. NoRToN's S
speech, in our respected contemporary,
the Shreveport South: Western, of the oth
inst:
4. B. NORTON, Eso.-A number of
our citizens were addressed on Monday
evening, by MIR. Norton, one OF the Amer
icen electors for the State of Ohio. We
have seldom listened to SO eloquent a
speaker, or one SO thoroughly conversant
with the politics of the day. He exposed
in a most lucid style the fallacy of the
doctrines advocated by the anti Americans
and utterly demolishedsthe democracy
We do not know when the democracy
looked SO chap-fallen. n. Il. Wright, ESQ.,,
whom the democracy consider to be their
ablest debater, and whom that party on
every occasion put forward as their cham
pion-orator, replied to Mr.. Norton, and ac-
quilted himself most creditably, and du-
ring the discussion displayed much tact
and logic. Mr.. Norton responded, ard
completely annihilated Mr.: Wright and
his arguments in less than no time. The
democratic champion was never so COM
pletely vanquished.
One of the most pleasant incidents of
the evening, was the mutual good humor
displayed by both gentlemen.

Garbling the Record.

The Sag Nicht papers in Arkansas, as
we'll as in other Southern States, take
great pride in publishing the following
words in lase capitals-pretending that
they show to the world the estimation in
which Mr.. Calhoun held Mr.. Buchanan,
in regard to the peculiar institution" of
the South:
So" Mr. Buchanan has hobituUy indi-
Gated, on the dangerous questions Of Stare
ry, correct teelings' '-sa j. G Calhoun.
Now, if the above quotation embraced
all Mr. Calhoun said On the occasion, we
are free to admit it would place Mr.. Bu-
chanan in rather favorable light before
the Southern people-at that time. But
a reference to that record will prove that
all said ON that occasion, by Mr.. Calhoun,
placed Mr. Buchanan in quite different
position to the one now assigned him by
his supporters. We italicise the portions
omitted by the friends of Mr.. Buchanan
in the South, and give what Mr.. Calhoun
did say, on the occasion alluded to- He
said:
81 must cypress my regret that the
Senator Mr.. Buchanan should be sur
prised into so hasty a course Of remark
He has habitually indicated, on this dan
gerousquestion, correct feelings, and acas
one Of the last from achon, 1 acould hare
anticipated such remarks as fell from
him
A party must be hard up when COM
PEELED to resort to such miserable garbling
as above shown. Pass 1t round.

Shocking Murders

Some time during the week before last,
the dwelling of Mr.. HENRY s. DURHAM,
in jackson county in this State, was con-
sumed by fire, and, horrible to relate, he
and his wife and negro child perished
in the flames. They were all murdered.
1t is supposed negro belonging to Mr..
Durham committed the deed, as one OF
his slaves was missing the next morning.
A party of the citizens of jackson coun-
ty are in pursuit Of the wretch, and it is
hoped they will bring him to justice and
condign punishment.

HA, HA The Louisville Democrat
is down on the Germans, and speaks of
them as ''the tallo1:taced Dutch" The
detection of "the tallow-faced Dutch" of
the North accounts for this acrimony, but
surely it is strange that any political de-
velopment upon the part Of the Germans
should stife the intense love and admira-
tion which the Democracy have professed
to entertain for them. After November
the American party in the South will be
a hundred times more powerful than it
ever was before

Our BUCHANAN friends seem to be
IN earnest about their barbecue here on

you into "extensive arrangements" -

probably be taken up. For the courtesy
with which the invitation is extended, we
return you the thanks of the friends of

half.

What we have Always Believed.

The Baltimore correspondent of the
New Orleans Picayune, speaking of the
recent meeting which followed the ad-
journment of the Wing National Conven-
ton, says:
The mass meeting in Monument
Square, which succeeded the convention,
held to ratify its proceedings, was, without
exaggeratiOn, the grandest affair of its
kind ever witnessed in Baltimore have
been resident of this city for twenty-five
years, passed through the exciting times
of 1910, also of 1874, of lS4S and 1852
saw all the grand jubilees and mingled
in them-but never before was spectator
of so large and enthusiastic, yet orderly
and digni6ed assemblage as the one refer
red to- Not less than thirty thousand per-
sons were in attendance, and. when the
name of Fillmore resounded throughout the
dense mass, the very heavens echoed with
repeated shouts His friends in Mary
land are ready to take him at all hazards,
and, come what may, will give him their
Presidential electoral vote. Disunion has
been, and is being sounded in our ears by
aspiring political demagogues, but we un-
derstand the motive. The triumph of
Black Republicanism has no abiding
place, in our apprehension. We teelthat
the sober, second thought must be upon M~
part of right-that fanaticisns rM ran
ish before the orerpo,cering light of ma
turer judgment" -
The latter clause of this extract fills
our bill exactly We never did believe
in FREMoNT's election, and all fears of
such a result are idle Mr.. FILLMORE

DREADFUL FAMINE IN THE CAPE DE VERDE
IsI.ANps-APPEAL TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
1t will be recollected that in November last
We published statement, supported by the Of
fetal correspondence of Commodore Crabbe
and the U. S. Consul at Porto Grande, showing
the fearful state Of restitution to which the
population Of the Cape de Verde Islands, but
more especially those of San Antonio, San
Nicholas and San Vicente, had been reduced
tive years The facts were supplied to US by
Lieutenant Bartlett, United States Navy, uE-
der whose observation they fell during visit
to the group. and whose exertioas in endeavor-
ing to direct the attention of the American pub
lie az we'll as that Of the Portuguese govern
ment to the condition Of these poor people, are
worthy of ali praise. A combination Of circum-
stances-amongst others the heavy demands
made on the public benevolence by the fear
full epidemic by which Norfolk and Portsmouth
had been recently visted--interfered TO pre-
vent the appeal that was then made in their
behalf having much effect here. Since then
the sufferings of the unfortunate natives of the
islands have been aggravated to fearful ex-
tent, and it appears that they are now perishing
by Thousands. Unless aid is sent them before
July, it lie calculated that at least twenty thou
sand persons will starve to death between that
month and December.
We publish to day another heart-stirring ap-
peal from Lieutenant Bartlett in hehslf of
these poor islanders. He calls upon his coun-
al
Of corn for their relief, and he generously Of
fers to take charge Of officer, and man at his
own expense any vessel that may be provided
for the purpose. He thinks-snd we are salts
fed correctlythat plenty of dropped and re-
tired officers will be found to volunteer on
this mission Of charity. 1t would be noble
manner of demonstrating TO the Naval Board
and the country that although technically dis
graced by the decision Of the former, they
still hold themselves in readiness for any SER
vice to which the public voice may call them.
We trust that Lieutenant Bartlett's appeal
will meet with general and liberal response
from our people. Let it ever be said of us
that our hearts and hands are open to the call
Of benevol ence, come from what quarter or
race IL may. The generous contributions sent
from this country to Ireland during the famine
of 1S47, have left lasting impression upon
the minds of The people Of that country. We
are convinced that the starving populations of
the Cape de Verde Islands will have the same
reason to bless the humane sympathy and un-
selfish philanthropy of the American people
Who will make the fret move in the great
metropolis
