SATURDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 8, 1851
Truth FIFTY Spoken.


The Democratic organs, stump speakers and Office
seekers throughout the State, says the Shreveport
Southwestern, very able paper, have been Of late
very busy in deriding the American party account
Of the meagre representation it will have in the next
Congress, and in the same breath boasting Of the
ffty-one Northern Democrats who will stand side
by side with Southern Democrats in the House of Re-
representatives." But these subtitle friends of the Ad
ministration omitted to add that every one Of the
said fifty one Northern Democrats will be found
standing side by side with President Buchanan, in
favor Of Walker free Kansas Freesolism and against
tile South! There is not Democratic journal, nor
Democrat of any prominence, at the north, east or
west, who is not against the South and endorses
Walker on the Kansas question: question involving,
as declared by the recent Democratic conventions in
Georgia, Mississippi and Alabama, the principle of
nonintervention and the dearest rights Of the South
Will they inform what the South is to expect
from this alliance between Northern and Southern
Democracy? Will they shed little light on the
subject? The South, even the most ardent adnairei
| Of the Administration must admit, has no hope Of
Justice froBther the Administration its Northern
allies. In this emergency, when the only principle
for which she has contended is in jeopardy, and put
there by the very men whom we were assured woult
stand by the South" her only hope is in herself
at least it is long way outside of the WalkerB Blu
| chanan Democracy.

Nor VERY FLArrER1NG CoMpLIMENT.--The Hon..
Henry w. Hilliard, recent convert to Buchanans
Walkerism, made speech few days since at Dem-s
ocratic gathering in Hamilton, Harris county Gas,'
which, ii the following incident, related by the ~
Grange Reporter, reflects the general sentiment Of
the audience was not very highly appreciated by his
new political associates:
After Mr.. HilIard had concluded his speech, an old
Democrat-a Brown man--a Buchanan Democrat
who had listened very patiently and attentivey dur
ing the whole speech, looked up to Mr.. billiard as be
had finished, and in very earnest and measured
tone, remarked to Mr.. H. q You have made a id
poor speech;'' to which Mr.. HI. replied, You would
not think so if you intended to vote for my friend
! Brown for Governor Al voted for Buchanan and
intend to vote for Brown, but you made d-d poor
speech, and have use for you because you are a
turn-coat,'' was the prompt reply of the old DEM
