The Democratic Convention which met st Green
vile, list week, nominated AL ert G. Watkins as
the Democratic candidate for Congress in the LIST
District and we understand be will the nom
inatiOn. Andy johnson has not been idle. We
are told that he hss succeeded in getting Maxwell
of the track, but that Graham proves iDtrsct-
able. Graham feels, and justly too, that he has
been nnjustIy dealt with BY his party. He has been
reading from the stump letters from johnson and
others OF the leaders in the District virtually, if not
tlrectly, promising him the track in this canvass
Graham thus far, in this contest, manifests much OF
the spirit of the mamie feels that be has been
cuffed about by Andy johnson long enough.
Whether he will maintain bis ground remains to be
seen It is generally believed, we understand, that
he will
Poor Watkins! for the first time in bis life he is
now sailing under his true colors He has at length
appropriated to himself bis legitimate badge. He
has thrown himself finally, into the arms OF his lei
lows. II seems bard, however, that they should
so soon have singled him out for the sscrfce-that
be should be selected to lead the 'forlorn hope"
against TAYLOR. Probably thsy want to Kill him
off at once-most likely they do. Whatever plan
the Democracy may adopt we regard TAYLoR's cleo
ton as beyond contingency. The Americans who
supported Watkins two years ago under the misip-
prehenson that he was ''one of Them" can now see
and repair the injustice they did to TAYLoR.-KaOT

The SOUTHERN PACIFIC RAILRoAD.-We under.
stand that at late meeting OF the Board OF Direc-
tors OF this road, it resolved to purchase, forth
with the iron necessary to complete the remainder
of the contract for seventy miles, entered into with
Messrs. j. T. Grant Co., which will extend the
road forty-two miles west Of Marshall, in Texas.
The twenty -eight miles from thu Louisiana line to
Marshall is TO be completed so that the road, TO
that point, shall be ready for use by the commence
ment of the coming year. Under the contract, the
next forty-two miles will be graded and ready to
receive the rails by the first of January, 1859.
Eighteen months, therefore, or Whereabouts, will
this great work seventy miles on lts way TO-
wards the Pacific, all ready for use and running
through a most lightful section of country, rich
III all the qualities necessary to constitute t one OF
the most productive agricultural regions 10 the
Southwest.
Long before the work already under contract
shall have been completed arrangements, now in
active progress, will be so far perfected as TO ex-
tend il still further in its progress. Surveys have
already been ordered, aud are now making, over
three hundred NILS more OF the line, and il is ex
pected that this will be finished by November next,
and all be in readiness to be put under contract.
This will carry the work to the river Brazos a
great stride, indeed, and that two or three
years, at most, should see accomplished, in the
gigantic yet perfectly practicable march to the
shores of the Pacific.
We have often dwelt on the great advantages
that enure, not only to the stockholders, but
to the country, from the completion of this noble
national enterprise; but we cannot too often urge
them upon the consideration OF our readers; and
especially of those whose lot is cast in this South
western section of our Union. To attain them, an
enlightened understanding of and faith in them,
and an en- rgetic and Underwriting effort and de-
termination to secure them, all that now
necessary; and ese, from the appearances that
every day is presenting We feel confident will not
be wanting-N Y. Picdyune

On Monday last, Mesrs Stephens and Avery
opened the Congressional canvass at Melon, 10
Madison county. Mr. Stephens fully satisfied the
expectations of his friends His adversary is not
his equal as debater. Mr.. Avery, the Democrat
ic nominee, repudisted alien suffrage, and sdvoca-
ted Governmentalaid to the Pacific Railroad. What
does all this mean? The candidate Of the Alien
Suffrage, Anti-lnternal improvement Democracy,
denOuncing the one and sustaining the other! Why
in the name Of common sense, what is d mOcracy
Where is Harris-Alien Suffrage Harris? When
the S'g-Ncht candidates seem to be running, each
one on his hook, We suggest that the most skill
full police detecter armed with search warrant,
would be put to his its to find the thing by which
the Treasury Family swesr-Democracy. II Is as
difficult to find Captain Kids treasures. 1t is
like the joint snake Strike il and it iii to pie
ces Still, each discovered part retains the sem
bance of snake, though the head is in one place,
and the tail in another, aud the fragments Of the
broken body is still others. We have every conf
dence that Mr.. Stephens will know now to manage
that particular part to viii the Avery Democracy
belong. Eas. d Eng.

New me,hod ofEx,insuishIng Love.

Twenty summers, piercing eye, brown
locks, fine silken moustache, q faultless cravat
are not these seductive2 All these COM
bineG had an irresistible effect upon a suscep-
tiblo young maiden, Marquitta de Y. so long
as our two lovers held this mute language
this innocent, telegraplic. hieroglyphical com
munication, which escapes all surv ellance and
denies all repressiOn-every thing went well.
But love is Unsuitable; il sees little things but
it is not content. SO il was with our two
lovers. The young man was soon emboldened;
Marquitta familiariZed herself with peril.
Some furtve words exchanged; soon the lover
was introduced into the house one fine day,
and there, seated upon the door-sill, the two
engaged in conversation. | leave them there
to think of their happiness. Alas it was to
be of short duration.
Marquitta had father who loved his daugh-
ter, and watched her without being seen, aud
resolved to put an end to these dialogues, and
give the charmer a lesson W ich would chill
his enthusiasm. One day our elegant had ar
rived at his accustomed post, the blinds were
opened, the adored head was seen at the case
ment, and soon the gloved hand of the Adde'S
cent was introduced through the pertiIious
bars, armed with biller, which another little
white hand reached up TO receive.
Now was the time. An iron hand seized
the imprudent hero. His hand was held as in
a vice, and was Immediately tied 10 the CRATE
with a srrong cord; aud thus fastened he was
left alone. Very soon, however, frightiul
voice from the room of a domestic, posted by
the father, cried out: ''Help! helIl helpl Firel
fire IN the stairway waterl wateri"
The doors of the upper stories were opened,
the frightened tenants came rushing out armed
with buckets aud pitchers, and the water be-
gan 10 fall in torrents Cpon the defenceless
heaS of our unfortunate, who dared neither
move nor cry out. When The first panic sub-
sided, they were sstonished not to see any
smoke; the neighbors gathered around, and
looked, and laughed, aud wondered, when tie
the father, with a smile upon his lips, said to
his assistants, "Tranquiize yourselves, my
friends; aud thanks for your security; the IRE

wT The Union and American says Mr.,
Hatton, as member of the last Legislature,
voted for resolution, which
Denounced the Kansas bill, repeating the Mis-
souri, Compromise, enacting "detestable heresy,
species Of rsdicslism not only inmica to the in
situations OF the South but at war with the spirit
of The Government itself, 'unwise as matter of
policy and in violation of the constitution of the
United States"
The reader would infer from this that the
resolution denounced the repeal of the Mis-
souri, Compromise as a "detestable heresy,"
DC, but such is not the fact. The resolution
only denounced what true Southern Rights
men of all parties regard as monstr Gus doc
trine, worse even than Wilmot, provisoisrn.
Here is the resolution. 1t speaks for ITSELF
Resolued, That we regard "SQUATTER S0VER-
EIGHTY or 10 other words, that provision in the
| Kansas \ ebrsska BILL under which the right is
claimed for the territorial legislature to impose
upon said Territories the odious and unjust prin-

of the bill?
