Ds5" Henry B. Payne is the nominee of
the locofoco party of Ohio, for Governor,
and in his speech to the Convention, he
said of the principle of squatter soyrei-
gnty--"Thc people had endorsed it in the
election of James Buchanan, and the
principle would soon receive its browning
triumph in the admission of Kansas as a
free State, under constitution adopted
by the people. Great applause)'
A large majority of the southern loco
focos endorse this same principle, and are
paving the way for "its browning triumph"
We ask any locofoco to tell us the diff
ference between himself and Black Re.
publican; and also to inform us what Ere,
mont would have done, that Buchanan is
not doing!

DUTeH COLONY FOR TENNEssEE.--Madame
Storms, of Deli, Holland, has purchased
large tract of land five miles from Kingston,
Tennessee, and three miles from'the Ten
nessee river. One essential element which
controlled the selection was the belief that
it would be very favorable to the rearing of
the wine grape. If this experiment should
prove successful, it is believed that it will
be the commencement ola large emigration
of the Dutch to this country.

E.sss.sse
seg' The locofoeo party has, for many years,
presented the singular spectacle of ma
iority rigidly governed by a minority
minority constantly exacting, and majori-
ty constantly yielding. Its we'll known
that the strength of the locofoco party is
in the South, and, BY the unthinking, This
fact has been accepted as security that
the rights of the South were safe in the
keeping of that majority. The masses
have been hept in ignorance Of the fact,
that the northern locofocos have a strong
affinity for abolitionism, and that in order
to keep them in party traces, the southern
wing has been forced to surrender to them
southern rights, or loose the spoils and,
and, in return for these concessions, the
northern wing has only been required to
pass, as blind resolutions of certain
character, to be exhibited here, as evidence
of the devotion of northern locofocoism
to southern rights; and this done, they,
who adopted the resolutions, were atlibor-
ty to disregard them, and free to advocate
anti-slavery doctrines wherever the same
were popular.
To this anomalous policy, do we owe the
endorsement of the Wilmot proyiso in the
Oregon bill, by locofoco Congress and
President; the Inauguration of squatter
sovereignty and alien suffrage, and the
rapid growth Of anti-slavery sentiment
Had the southern majority been honest
these concessions would never have been
made, and though locofocoism would have
fallen in the struggle, the rights of the
South would have remained unimpaired,
and the harmony of the country undisturb-
ed. But the object of that majority was
to obtain the federal spoils at all hazards
and then do what they could for the South
But so vigilant and exacting has been the
northern minority, and so tame and sub
missiye, the southern majority, that in
every contest the South has lost some of
its strength, and what was lost could not
be retriyed, because the southern conces-
sionists were forced to defend their wrong,
and in defending it, weakened that public
sentiment which should have constituted
our best defence. Years ago, the enact
ment of squatter sovereignty would have
dissolved the Union; but, receding, inch
by inch, from its just claims under the
Constitution, the South, humbled and de-
graded by its own majority, has lost its
sense Of duty and honor-tamely submits
to northern insult, and begs, at the hands
of the northern minority, pittance of the
spoils in payment of rights surrendered.
And now, the once proud, chivalrous and
Conscientious South, says to the North
take Kansas, but give us share of the
plumber We have given you the Wilmot
proviso, squatter sovereignty and alien suf-
frage--al unconstitutional and fatal to
our institutions-we have given you the
full benefit of foreign immigration, to vote
us down-we have betrayed our own section
whenever treason could dispoil it of rights
the and strength and dignity and
honor, and all we ask in return for
treason is grab at the public treasury"
