THE COUNTY CANVASS.

The canvass in this county is being con.
Quoted in the most quiet manner, and perfect
good feeling seems TO exist among the several
candidates. We are glad to see this spirit
prevailing and hope Il may be continued.
On Saturday last, Mr.. Isbell, one of our
candidates, addrassedVhe people of the Smith
field Dis riot, and We understand his speech
gave general satisfaction to- all who heard it.
We have heard tina: a number of our party at
that place. have expressed their Intention to
vote for one of the, opposition candidates for
the House of Delegates. We regret this, for
heweVer worthy of their suffrages7tbe gentle
man may be, it is setting bad precedent, and
is endaDgering the success of our ticket
Support your own men is our advice, for a
better ticket could not be presented for your
votes. If we have the power to do SO, let US
send two delegates to R chmond to represent
the county. Both of our nominees are gen.
tlemen of experience, and their election would
reflect credit upon the party, aud give to the
county an efficient representation in the next
Legislature.

TO sign list old line Democrat calling upon
Hon. WIN. Lucas TO consent TO become a candidate

that gentleman by the Hampshire Democracy
Subsequent events have placed hi-in position that

DALLAs.olARENpoN TREATY.

We make the following extract from the let
ter of "Ien," the Washington correspondent
of the baltimore Sun, in relation TO the rea-
sons assigned by Lord PaImerston for the re-
lection ofthe late Treaty:
The Presidential campaign for 1860 had hardly
been opened by the republicans when they were un-
expectedly reinforced by the PaImerston go, ern-
ment. 1t will be seen that the republican presses
reecho the denuneiaions of American slavery which
have lately been uttered by the British PREMIER and
unite with him in Ger surfing the Senate for their
presumption in refusing to become party to slip
uatons the only object Of which was to cast sluf
upon the domestic Institutions of the United States
The chief reason assigned by Lord Paimerston,
through his London organ for rejecting the Senate
amendments TO the Dallas and Clarendon treaty, Is
the recent decision of the Supreme Court of the
Unite States in the bred Scott case, whereby, as
the article sets FORTH negroes who were free while
America was under British dominion, are now de-
cided not TO be citizens of the republic. This is
w'pcint in our relations with England. Negroes
who were British subjects prior 80 the Declaration
of-lndependence are now dsfraachised aud declared
not 10 be entitled to the privileges of American cit
liens. OF course restoration of these people to
their auti-rerolntiOnary rights is to be issue.
Another reason is given, however, for the rejec-
ton of the treaty in its amended form-to wits
that the United States Senate had refused to be a
party to the stpulanons of certain treaty between
Great Britain aud Honduras whereby it was ex-
pressly declared that slavery should never exist IN
the Bay Islands. This the British premier denoun-
ces sItifice of the Senate to promote the ex-
tension of slavery in these Islands and he intImates
that the British government will not permit SOL
emn engas ement into which it bad entered with
Honduras be ignored at the dictatinn of the Sen
ate. The for rejecting the treaty pub
shed only two Jays before Lord Clara ndon inform
ed Mr. Dallas of the decision of her Majesty's gov
ernment adverse to the treaty as amended by tie
United States.
There is other objection of more general
nature to The amendments 10 wit: that they seem
to lie inteuded to destroy British influence in Cen
trail America gran discovery, truly.
1t may be doubted whether it is the intention of
this government to pursue this mater by further
negotiation. The story that Mr.. Dallas will return
and Mr.. Marcy be sent out, ID probably without the
least foundation.

imitation of the noble Undertaking of Hon:
Edward Everett, has consecrated his rhetorical
endowments to the cause of the Mount Vernon

during the session Of the Court. The Charles
ton Courier. in noticing the fact, calls upon
Col. VIM. G. Preston or Col. John S. Preston
to do the same in South Carolina. There is
something appropriate in this idea that the
popular eloquence fostered by freedom shoulh
be directed to securing sanctuary for the
dust IF Freedoms greatest champion.
80. A meeting of the opposition to De
mocracy WAS held in Richmond on Monday
night and nominated Mr.. Morris, for the Sen
