SQUATTER SOVEREIGNTY REPUDIATED by BU-
CHANAS.-The Hon. Albert G. Brown, of Mis-
sissippi, is candidate for reelection TO the
United States Senate, and is canvassing his
State as such, which is all right. He voted in
the Senate against Alien Suffrage in Minneso-
Ia, and makes capital out of this in his speech
es. The chances seem strongly to favor his
reelection. From synopsis in The Yazoo
San of his speech at Yazoo Court house, on
the 4th of July, we extract the following:
"From Minnesota, the speaker passed to
Kansas affairs, in the discussion of which,
Walkers course met with the severest repro
baton at his hands. He did not believe that
Mr.. Buchanan would suffer Walker to retain
his place as Governor of that Territory, but if
he did, the South would rise up and denounce
him as false to the great principles of the Kan
Sas bill, and traitor to her best interests
He, for one, would do so, and as would every
true Southernor. He had heard 1t from The
Presidents Ocn lips, that THIS thing Of Squafter
Sovereignty lGas one of the most daHaa6le here
sizes that eper broached in This or any other
country, and that he (the PrcsideIt) irould ieace
nothing trndolte TO throttle IL. Mr.. b. had told
the speaker this in all sincerity, and he be-
lieved him. He had 40 doubt but that Walkers
appointment icoglld be caHceied.''
ssSquatter Sovereignty was always hum
bug and juggle, for which we could feel no
respect; but we object to seeing it ssthrottied''
by Mr.. Buchanan. Men should speak well of
the bridge that carried them safe over, and
this Squatter Sovereignty, rickety and tum-
be-down it is, did for Mr.. Buchanan
s:What can be fairer than to let the People of
ga Territory accept or reject Slavery as they
''sec fit 2" was the triumphant and reiterated
inquiry of his partisans in the Free States
throughout the canvass. 1t was in vain that
we asked, "JFhat people? The first five set
sstlers in Territory ? the first fifty? five hun
'Sdred ? five thousand i-plcase define sthe
sspeople,' that may know first what you
'smean." This they were determined we
should not know, and they succeeded in keep
ing the eyes of thousands so full of dust that
they could not or would not see that ssSquat-
ter Sovereignty was snare and deIusion.
Now that the contest is over and Mr. Bucban-
an installed in the White House, we have In
augurals, Dred Scott Decisions and Presiden-
tial conversations, all scouting ssSquatter Sow
ereignty,o and denying to People of Ter
ritory, SO long as they remain such, any pow
er or right to exclude Slavery. A good many
who were deluded have been surprised by this
short turn, but we are not among them.

BAYARD TAYLOR, writing to the Tribune from
London, has the following in reference to
Charles Sum1er MIR. Sumner is here, at
Manrigy's Hotel, in Regent street. | have
not yet seen him, but some friends tell me he
is looking very well. No American has ever
been more popular in England than Mr.. Sum-
ner, and he is at present floating on The top
wave of London society. l heard the other
day . good story of his arrival here. He en-
tered his name upon the book as simple Mr..
Sumner, Boston," ard was accordingly set
down by the host and his hunkies ordi-
nary traveller. The next morning one of the
latter came to Mr.. Summers room in some ex-
citement, and said ssLord Brougham is down
stairs. sir, asking for you.'' To the walters S
amazement, Mr. S. quietly said, without ex-
hibiting the least surprise ssVery well show
him up.'' Not long afterward the former came,
still more excited: ssSir the Lord Chief Justice
has called, and he asks for yoni" esShow him
up was again the cool reply. After his Lord
ship had departed the waiter came once more
bewidercd and, a little aggravated: 'sSir,
sir, the Lord Chancellor Of Engiand has called
to see youi'' ssShow him up,'' repeated Mr..
S. These astonishing facts were no doubt at
once communicated to the landlord, for the
next days Morning Post announced the arrival
of .sHis ExceIlency the Honorable Mr.. Sum-
ner'' at Maurigy's Hotel.

AN HISTORICAL PARALLEL.-The Richmond
Enquirer, referring to the Presidential cleo
tiou of 1860, says, ssSouthern men of all par
ties are as trile to the institution of slavery as
was ever knight to his lady, or mother TO her
child 20 and that ssto the Democracy of the
North they look, as Napoleon looked TO Grou-
chy at Waterloo,'' to give them the victory.
Let ms hope that the idea which this compari-
son suggests may be realized. Napoleon look
ed in vain for Grouchy, who came not, and
was beaten. 1t may be added that Grouchy
had been placed by Napoleon in such posi-
zion that he could not go to Waterloo, and just
so have the Northern Democracy been placed
by the slaveholders,-the can't help theSouth

that one farmer at Avoka has one hundred
acres of wheat and corn SO badly eaten by them
that not dollar worth of good grain will be
gathered fiom the tract. In the same neigh
borhood there are four hundred acres in the
same condition. In many fields not n vestige
of the crop remains; in others, the stalks of
the grain only remain, while in all OF these
the destruction is complete.

IT is estimated that the production of wheat
this year in the West, will be $4,000 900 bushls
greater than it was ir 1850, which shows an adj
vance in production of about fifty five per cent.
Population has increased about thirty-five per
cent, which will allow about twenty per cent.
more for export than in 1850. The increase in
the corn crop is only about equal to the in
crease of population.

MR. wILMoTs CHALLENGE.

a few weeks since, it vas stated that Hon.
David Wilmot, the eAmerican-Republican can
didate for Governor, had written TO Mr.. Pack
er, the Democratic candidate, proposing to
canvass the State in company with him. The
Democratic papers contended that no such
proposition had been made. The following
letter will set the matter &c rest:
TowAxDA, July 14th. 1857.
HoN. WV. f. PACKER Dear Sir purpose
TO spend some time, during the summer and
fall, in canYassing before the people of the
State, the principles and issues involved in the
pending State election.
Party meetings bring out only that portion
of the people to whom the call is made, and
the addresses are necessarily all on one side,
whereas it is desirable that the whole people.
so far as may be, should have both sides fairly
presented before them at the same time.
If it should meet your views, l propose that
we canvass. so much of the State as is practi-
cable, in COMPANY, addressing alternately the
same meetings Should this meet your as
sent, please SO inform me at your earliest con-
venience, SO that we may arrange the times
and places of meeting, order of speaking, &C.,
&c. Very respectfully, your ob't servant,
ID. WILMoT.
We are not aware that Mr.. Packer has acce-
dcd to this proposition. 1t remains to be seen
whether he will meet the challenge. He can
make no reasonable objection to this mode of
canvassing the State, more especially when his
friends claim ahat he is an excellent speaker.
We think it is the proper way. Let the can
didates speak for themselves, and let the peo-
pie hear for themselves. Mr.. Wilmot is will
ling to have it so. We will wait anxously to
see whether Mr.. Packer will accept or back out.
-
After the above was in type, We found the
following in our daily exchanges, which shows
that Mr.. Packer backs out. What becomes OF
the boast of the Democratic papers that Mr..
Packer was ready to meet his competitor, who
ever he might be

proposed plan for conducting the Guberna-
torial Campaign which had never hitherto
been adopted in Pennsylvania, and as the in

result, l did not feel at liberty to accede to
your proposition without first consulting the
State Committee to which the Democratic Con-
vention has on its part specially confded the
control and management of the Canvass.
You will receive herewith copy of my let
ter to the Committee, also their reply, by
which you will perceive that your suggestion
