~ Some of the more INSCRIPTIONS of the South
ern K. N journals are still denouncing the admins
traton on account of its Kansas policy, and alleging
that Kansas is about to be become free State
through the Vaccinations of Gov Walker. ON
the other hand, the freeso journals North aege
that slavery has already been egazed in Kansas by
the Kansas-Nebraska act, and that President Bu-
chanan, as the head of the slave-drivers," is de-
termined that Kansas shall be slave State Differ
ing widely the two "brigades of the opposition

If Mr.. Fillmore and those who supported him had
had their way, the South would have made no show

of the Missouri restriction by which slavery was let

Democratic party for an act by which slavery was
let in to Kansas and then to charge the party
with determination to make Kansas free State,

California EIection-Defeat of Stanly.

The returns from twenty three Counties in Cali.
fo,ni. foot up as follows Weller, Democrat q, 5O3,
Stanly, black Republican, 1858, Bowie, KIN,
9,616. Stanly carried San Francisco by 1900 ma,
jorty the X. Ms of that City having united on him
in the hope of defeating the Democratic party.
The San Francisco Globe thus announces the re-
suit to the Atlantic Democracy
I'VE send greeting to the Democracy of the East,
and congratulate them upon the fact that we have
once more met the enemies of the Constitution in
this State, and that they have succumbed. The
majority of Col. Weller over Mr. Stanly, the nomi.
nee of the Black Republicans" will not come short
of from twenty to thirty thousand. His majority
over both Stanly and Maj. Bowie, the American !"
candidate, will also be considerable. The "Repub-
lican" candidate rallied to his support all the isms
OF the day. and under the specious guise of Reform
endeavored TO array powerful opposition for the
defeat of the Democratic candidate. His friends
waged bitter warfare during the campaign and
brought the most calumnious charges against all
the Democratic nominees But all was in vain; the
people were not to be deceived and the result is be.
fore US in noble triumph Of the Democracy.
The Democratic party displayed on its flag the
notices OF popular sovereignty in the Territories
the justice of the decision in the bred Scott case,
the nonsgitation of the subject of slavery, the i'm
portance of the Union and the integrity of the Con.
sitution. They also declared for reform in the
State government and for the early payment of the
State debt. Col Weller as the champion of the
Administration of James Buchanan and of the Dem
ocratc party here, took the field these issues and
traversed the greater part of the State meeting the
advocate Of sectonalism at every point, and main
tanning the of the people with force of argu-
ment and fullness of illustration which have never
been surpassed. He left the decision with the masses,
and they nave responded in thunder tones through
out the length and breadth of the State. Whatever
other States may do, whatever temporary triumphs
may be achieved by the Black "Republicans " in
other localities California is bound to stand by the
Union and the Constitution
The New York Daily Nesos says:
"a most gratifying feature in this election is the
overwhelming crushng-defeat of that treacher-
of the South, Ed. Stanly of North Carolina,
who set up the Fremont candidate for Gov
ernor. Having betrayed his name, his principles
and his native State, the result of the election is
most fitting rebuke to the vain, ambitious, and now
defunct politician.
The election in California will give a quietus to
the hopes of the Black Republicans" in this State,
ready to drop assunder through their own in
terna dssensions, 1t is the handwriting the wall
that will make the Weed and Seward political black
legs and the Abiah Mann and Dudley Field political
puritans quake Tor tue result in November next in
the Empire State"

The October Elections.

The elections in Kansas, Georgia and Florida took
place on Monday last.
In Kansas, members of the Territorial Legislature,
county officers, and delegate to Congress were to
be elected. We have no intelligence from Kansas.
Georgia was to elect Governor and eight men,
bers of Congress. The candidates for Governor
were Hon. Joseph c. Brown, Democrat, and Benja-
min Fl. Hill, Esq, X. N. The returns thus far re-
ceived indicate the election of the Democratic candi
date by from ten to twelve thousand majority; and
the Democrats it is supposed have carried all the
Congressional Districts.
The election of complete State tickets in Pennsy-
vania and Ohio will take place on the 18th instant
and on the same day Minnesota will vote upon the
adoption of the new State Constitution, recently
framed by Convention, and also for State officers,
three members to Congress, and delegate to Con-
gress to serve until such time as she shall be admit
ted into the Union sovereign State.
A general State election in Iowa, formerly held
in August and local elections in Indiana take place
on the day.
The Democrats of Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Iowa
working manfully and entertain strong hopes of
victory.

The Bank of Tennessee,

The Hon. Cave johnson, President of the bank of
Tennessee has written the following sensible letter
to a committee of merchants of Nashville who ad-
vised suspension of specie payments. This letter
has the ring of the old jackson metal, and is just
what might have been expected from Cave johnson
"BANK OF TENNESSEE, Sept 20, 1857.
GENTLEMEN The officers of the Bank of Tennes-
see received copy of the resolutions adopted by
the merchants and citizens yesterday, at the Pro-
lection and Insurance Office urging a temporary sus-
pension of specie payments by the three old banks
of Nashville, and timely aid to their customers and
Debtors" and thought it their duty to submit them
to called meeting of the board of directors which
was holden this morning in the Bank.
The board were unanimously of opinion that there
existed no necessity proprety in the adoption of
the policy indicated in your resolutions by this bank
The Bank of Tennessee is able and ready to meet
all demands against it whenever and however made,
and would not therefore, be justified excused for
refusing payment of its notes when demanded.
With such abundant crops, soon to be ready for
market, and commanding such high prices, the pres
sure in the money market cannot fail to be of short
duration. The shipment of the products of the
State, much in demand in every section of our
country will furnish ample means to our merchants
and citizens to meet the demands against them with
out resort to such doubtful remedy as suggested.
The Bank of Tennessee has at all times given such
aid to its customers and debtors by maintaining its
circulation and keeping up its line of discounts, as
the condition of the bank justified The course
will be pursued in future
am very respectfully, &C.,
C. JOHNSON, President.

when nearly every stock succumbed to the storm,
and even that of the proud "Old Dominion

tanned their position at par, nearly that the
difference in exchange would have brought them up

been called upon to bear during the last twenty

SLAVERY IN OREGoN.-A Convention to organize
State government for Oregon was in session on the
Goth of August 1t is stated that the President of
the body is a pro-slavery man, elected upon that
test by large majority. 1t was thought that a
slavery clase would be introduced into the con-
stitution. The arguments used in favor of slavery
are that the farmers and families want "helps -
the Yankee term for servants-and that it is impos
sible to secure "helps" without slavery 1t is also
urged that Oregon is peculiarly adapted to the cu-
ture of hemp and that by slave labor this staple can
be produced in great abundance, and they can COM
pete in the hemp markets with other portions of the
world.
We give these statements for what they are worth,
but we do not think it probable that slavery will be
established in Oregon. By the repeal of the Mis-
souri, restriction, however, which was the work OF
the national Democratic party, Oregon has been
opened to Southern men, and slavery may 60 there,
provided the soil and climate should be found adap-
ted to it.
