What the President said of Senator
Brown.

The Hon. A. G. Brown, of Mississippi,
made speech at barbecue on the llth,
at Hazlehurst, Miss. He avowed the most
extreme Southern doctrines, contending that
slavery and the Union would not exist to-
gether, and that, when the issue arose, he
was in favor of dIsunion in behalf of slavery.
The Vicksburg Wing reports that which the
Governor said in regard to the Conference
Bill, at follows
"The Governor expressed his acquiesence
in theSConference Bill, and hoped it W uld be
enforced. He stated that he called on the
President before he left Washington, and that
Mr.. Buchanan assured him in the most posi-
tive and unequivocal terms that he would
appoint no man to office who held the opn-
ion that Kansas ought to be admitted before
she has population which would enttle her
to representative in Congress- according to
the terms of the Conference bill, and that he
would decapitate every office holder who ex-
pressed such belief.''

Scott observation-disclosures Again He.
buked.
The Chicago Times is engaged in an indus
trious attempt to limit and reduce the scope
of the bred Scott decision, in order to rec
oncile with it the declarations of Judge Doug
las at Freeport, in which the Judge asserts
for the autLor ties of the Territories, while
yet they are Territories, power to exclude
81 very from their limits. The Judge him
self endvavOred to modify the effect of his
declarations by claiming for the Territorial
Legislatures power to introduce as we'll as to
exclude slavery but either branch of his
assertion is heretical and unsound. The pur-
port of the bred Scott decision is, that sla-
very is legalized in the Territories without
express law, prOprO UigOre of the COnstitu-
ton and, therefore, the Introduce ion by ex-
press law is unnecessary, as its exclusion by
express law would be unconstitutional
When, the. efore, Judge Do lglas asserts that
slavery may be introduced or excluded by
Terrific rial legislation he makes declaration
dOubly inconsistent with the bred Scott de-
ciSiOn.
The Union, it will be seen by the above,
stoutly contends for the full scope of the de-
ci,ion, and scouts the idea, cunning'y put
forth by Senator Douglas, in his Illinois cam
paign addresses, that Territories may refuse
to protect slavery. AS the Union frankly
declares, the bred Scott decision, and the
doctrine of the Democratic party is that
slavery exists of right on every foot of United
States Territory; that neither Congress nor
Territorial Legislatures can in any way inter-
tere with it ; and that it is the duty of Con-
gross to pass laws FIR its protection
This is The orthodox Democratic creed on
the subject of slavery. This is the recognized
platform Of the " National Democratic" Adj
ministratiOn and party.

Now ScrOggs, for you, such talk may do,
But not for Breech- clouts, good and true.
Whose eyes are skinned, and knew few.
Besides, this country is too neaO,
To take retrospective view,
And get ourselves into stew,
Bout things we never learnt or knew,
Since Indian payments We first drew,
Or first did Indian damsel WOO
(For want of something else to do,)-
And Moccasin put ON for shoe,
And trousers for the time eschew;
And sold our paints, red, g, cen and blue,
That good big payments might accrue,
And large amounts be dls0dys due,
Which Uncle Sam did pay us too;
But now, since We have bid adieu,
To our old friends of reddish hue,
We've only sclaims" on men like you,
And take alone your residue.
Since you came out to dig and hew,
IT'S politics we dc. pursue;
CTwas II. M. r. gave US the cue,)
We have no other avenue,
In which to ear. a revenue,
So we will stick to it like glue;
And If you dare, our acts review,
Exposing us to public view,
What you won't like will soon ensue,-
Well raise against you all our crew,
And in q ta0inklin0 put you through!
And then so sure as your names Scroggs
You'll sorry be that you a'int Boggs.''

Scullduggery :...A NIOccasin Epic.

Saint Paul weekly Minnesotian. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1858-1859, 1858-10-02

1.-THE TO- lowing are fragmentary extracts from
published Poem, entitled Skuduggery:
JoBs scRooGs, QUIRK.
sCROGGs THINKErH PUBLIC HONESTY AT 4 DISCOUNT.
We live, in times, with pain the truth pen
When knaves usurp the place of honest men,
Aye, honor, truth and excellence
And shame, are quite DER borne by false pretence;
Since candidates. ambitious of success,
Do ev'ry noble manly thought repress,
And sink down low in filth, and lower still,
To satisfy the voters sovereign will;
And ply with skill, each can, deDasing art
To reach, to warm, to win, the public heart.
PUBLIC STATIONS NOT HONORABLE BUT PROFITABLE.
Why wonder that exalted place,
No honor is, but deep disgraceY
Since harpies on the public veal
Elected are, to hide or steal
Who does not fch--al know the fact
A fool is deemed, greenhorn or cracked.
Fen So and yet throughout wide extending natan.
No where resound the voice of earnest Indignation.
LEGISLATION SOURCE OF LIGHT.
So greats the power of legislation,
Official Sights" no degradation;
For PARTY and constituents"
Whiskey, place, pay, confidence,
Secure the guilty ones, instead of good thrashng,
regular out and out committee made embarrassing.
Except of late, say twice,
victim fell a sacrifice.
Fierce cannibals in fen Is believe,
And children to their idols give,
For better luck to catch and Stay
Fat men to eat-their usual prey
And so among our cannibals, in public life,
When plans for stealing bribes and plumber are most
rife,
They slay a charm, ''the "peeps' to please,
The demon, conscience, to appease.
Softly tits gently done, you see
In fact, they keep the Treasury,
They keep it for the public veal
In law to keep is not to steal,
At most, tits only breach of trust,
To punish which they think unjust.
This is the knaves philosophy
And shows you clearly why scot-free,
These gents who keep your cash should 60,
While you, poor cit, five years or so,
Must f Ions fate in prison share,
If, private man, you dare,
Augment your joys treasure
BY any such unlawful measure.
Yet, if you'd like to steal, be not detected,
Like Boggs, turn candidate and be elected,
To any office, great or small,
Ward, County, state or National!
Get appointment, any place at all,
From Clerk up to Surveyor-General.
