Douglas at the South.

The "privste business" which called Senator
Douglas TO the South, is not of so pressing a
character as to prevent his receiving the con-
gratulations of his friends and making political
demonstrations at various points. On his way
down the Mississippi he delivered a speech at
at Memphis, defining his position over again,
but still in manner not entirely acceptable to
the organs of Virginia Democracy. AT New
Orleans he was received with great enthusiasm.
An immense Douglas mass meeting was held
there on Tuesday night, at which Mr.. Soule pre-.
sided. The New Orleans Delta, leading Dem
ocratic paper, has already nominated the Little
Giant for the Presidency. 1t would thus appear
that the Senator's private business is in some
way mixed up with political movements. The
action of his Virginia friends, at the recent Con-
vention, will probably bavel chilling effect up
on him.
1t is said in Washington that the special rea-
son of Senator Douglas absence from the city,
and convenient visit to Now Orleans, is to avoid
the catechism to which he would be immediate
ly subjected; and thus save himself from an-
swers, which might prove embarrassing, pend
ing the election of Senator in Illinois.

The Opnos;tiop Ticket,

The Opposition press of the State are discuss
ing the policy of once more contesting the SUI
premaoy of the Democratic party. So far as We
have yet observed q bslicose spirit prevails in
allQuarters, aud our exchanges come to us breath
ing spirit of uucompromising hostility to the
reigning dynasty. As it is desirable to have
full and frank expression of opinion in reference
to the matter, we desire to say that we too are
tired of inactiou aud ready for mother contest
if we can find the right sort of men, willing to
take the field and do battle in earnest, even in
the face of the overwhelming Democratic major
ity in the State. Our convictions are clear, how
ever that no scrub racers"-no dignifed gen
tlemen who may lend the use of their names,
while they remain quietly at home-will do US
any good. So far from deriving advantage from
a nominal opposition of this kind, it would in
our opinion be productive of positive injury to
our future prospects. The Richmond Wing pro-
poses that the Central Committee suggest tick
ct, as it is too late to think of q Convention. We
are entirely willing to confde the matter to that
body, but hope they will ascertain by correspon-
dence before bringing a ticket out, whether the
gentlemen they may be disposed to select, are
willing to enter actively and earnestly into the
canvass. We take the liberty of suggesting a
ticket that looks to US about fundamentally, po-
litically and geographically ticket with which
we should go into the contest hopeful of achev-
ing much, and certain of making most credita
Bile fight. We therefore suggest as our choice,
in the event of determined opposition

For the Spectator.

MesSSrs Editors:-"A Augusta" in last weeks
Spectator, proposes that the Wings hold q Con-
vention>for the purpose of binding themselves to
the Democracy not torun candidate for Con-
gress in this district.
What obligations are the Wings under to do
the Democracy this favor2 The RECIPROCITY
would be all on one side" if they did so. The
Wings are ruthlessly spurned from every office
where the Democracy have power, and have to
contest every inch of ground even where they
have unquestionable power themselves wings
are treated as unworthy of even such offices IS
directors of public institutions and banks, and
railroads, notaries public, escheators, &C., al
though in Wing community.
This county is as decidedly Wing as this Con-
gressiona District is Democratic; yet the DEM
ocrats never think of leaving it uncontested for
the Legislature, but always put the Wing candi.
dates to their mettle to save the county, and
once indeed defeated three out OF four on the
ticket, and held us politically misrepresented IN
the Senate for four long years, to the mortlnca-
ton of every Wing in the State.
The Democrats do not propose to give up the
county next spring, even to the Wings; but az
the very time of appealing to their magnanimlty
will be struggling to wrest from the undoubted
Wing majority its right to be represented in the
Legislature. 1t takes no prophet to foretell that,
unless perchance this sagacious party may con-
clude it better to give up the contest in the
county for fear of drawing party lines and losing
the Wing vote here to Congressional aspirant
from this county
Let the Wings learn wisdom from their enc.
my, and always run their own candidates to
keep the flock together, and practice the virtuous
habit of voting and sustaining, instead of belize
ing their own principles. AT least not handcutf
themselves at the request of the Democracy, but
maintain their privilege to act as seemeth good
to themselves whenever they choose.
If the Democrats have a Convention, possibly
the Wings may present candidate whom the
people of the district would prefer as their rep.
resentative over such a nominee. Or If several
Democrats run, Wing may be the fair choice
OF larger number of voters than any one.of the
Democrats, and may beat the whole batch.

From all we can learn, our friend, Dr. @. r.
Harris, has no great cause of gratitude to his
Democratic friends for their treatment of him in
the Convention. 1t is certainly remarkable
fact that in the last two Conventions this gen.
tleman has received vote on the first ballot
indicating that he was the favorite Tor the posi-.
ton, and that so soon as this fact became obvi-
Gus he was dropped like hot potato by his
protested friends What sort of way is that of
sticking up to ones frend9 1t seems that DR..
Harris was thought unsuitable because he had
not resided long enough in the county of Gull
pepper to constitute him an Eastern VirgDian.-
If he is to be thus prescribed as ''furriner,"
we would advise hin to move back Immediately
to old Augusta, where he will at least be recog
nized as q native Virginian. A scramble is about
to take place for Mr.. Letche1's slippers, and DR..
Harris can produce his naturalization papers
here. Move back, Doctor, and give them dose
of physic You can sweep the ied-no ques-
ton of it.

New Trial Granted.

On Friday last Judge Thompson, on motion Of
the prisoners counsel, granted new trial to
DIR. Downey, lately convicted of the murder OF
William Mullins. The Judge reviewed the evil
deuce at some length and with great ability
lie stated that upon the testimony of the Com
monwealth's witnesses alone, the verdict of the
jury would, in his opinion, have been correct
1t was admitted on all hands, however, that if
Margaret Lees testimony were taken as true,
the prisoner would be entitled to an acquittal.
He felt bound TO receive her account of the
transaction-her credibility had not been sue
cessfully impeached-and therefore he could not
hesitate to grant new trial. He also declared
his belief that the jury were perfectly honest in
giving the verdict, and uninhuenced by preju-
dice against the prisoner on account of his re-
ligion or foreign birth. Judge Thompson has
now been on the bench twenty seven years, and
in only one instance before this has he set aside
verdict in a case of felony
We learn that Judge from another Circuit
will probably sit here in February to try the
case again.

ERRORS OF THE PRESIDENTIAL Washington
letter writer, referring to the Presidents Mes
sage, says:
While the President has taken pains to make
ND an indictment against Mexico, Central Amer
lea, Spain and inferior States, as was predicted
in this correspondence, he has not met the ext
gency at all in regard to England and France
More than this, he has not presented to the
country the true state of our relations with those
Powers. At this very hour, their fleets are at
San Juan for the express purpose of expelling
alledged or real intruders from Nicaragua, and
their Ministers here have notified this govern
ment officially, that they intend to insist upon
the British construction of the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty there. And it is 10 secret in diplomatic
circles. that the Secretary of State has inform
ed Lord Napier and Count Sartiges, that if this
course should be pursued the government would
not he answerabe for the consequences. This
allied action received its inspiration directly
from the British and French Cabinet and hence
is not the result of old orders. Lord Derby is
known to have expressed very decided opinions
upon the subject, since the last instructions were
issued. So seriously is the contingency regard
ed here. that Lord Napier has addressed Lord
Malmsbury. the Secretary for foreign Affairs,
urging modification of the policy prescribed,
or rather presenting the perils which persistence
in it involves, as derived from his conference
with Gen. Cass. Not word has been lsped on
this subject, which has been the matter of grave
and frequent Cabinet deliberations, and the i'm
preston is substantially communicated that our
relations are intimate and friendly, when, in
fact, they are VIGOROUSLY critical and imminent.
This deception will return to plague the invent

SPAIN AND CuDA.-Much comment is excited
in diplomatic circles at Washington at the tone
of the message in regard to Spain. The Presi
dent is fully aware, and the official records o.
the Department of State show it, that Spain ha:
positively refused to entertain negotiation fol
the sale of Cuba. Under these circumstances
to renew the proposition with MANAGE cannot
be regarded in any other light than an indignity,
and as Spain is punctiliouS and proud, if she is
nothing else perhaps the more so from con.
seriousness of waning empire and decayed great
ness-it is not at all improbable she may refuse
to receive Mr.. Preston, our new minister. And
the impression exists in some quarters that this
unusual language was used to provoke such a
contingency, or something like it, as the basis OF
more decided proceedings hereafter
