STILL THEY CoME.-On our first page will be found
q letter from Henry w. Miller, Esq, in which he
gives his for acting with the Democratic par
ty. No impartial mind can consider those reasons
rightly, and give them their proper weight without
ustifying Mr. Millers course to the fullest extent
The indications every where 60 to prove that while
the unfortunate sectional breach between the North
and the South is growing wider, the people Of the
South daily becoming more united in defence Of
their constitutional rights. The time has arrived
when every plainly Sees that those rights can
now only be maintained through the Democratic
party. The National Democracy being the only pc.
litical organization that bring to its aid the
servative element of the North-tbat element upon
whose alliance in sustaining the Federal Constitution
depends now all hope of the perpetuation of the
Unon-it is evidently the only party with which the
people of the South act to preserve their honor
their interests, and their equality in the Union.
1t is the potency of these truths that has given
Democracy such an universal and unparalleled
strength at the South, and caused the accession to
its forces of SO many thousands from the ranks of
its former opponents. Such men Kerr, Barringer,
Osborne, Miller, and others, in our State, have
felt and acknowledged it duty to bestow their tai
ents and influence where they might be of service
to their country, instead of throwing them in the
scale against it. We trust the good work will con-
tinue to 90 on, until the entire South shall stand
united upon the broad platform of Constitutional
right prepared to battle for it to the last and to de-
fend it. If necessary, with her and her blood

ing Other business unimportant. The Deficiency
Bill was resumed: Senator Bell spoke against it.
The report of the conference committee was pre-
sented by Senator Green. Objection was made to its

sion of the bill, but it was finally received and made

gress a State Constitution, that is republican, to-
gether it'll an ordinance that is not acceptable to

Union if the people thereof at election to be held
under prescribed regulations shall accept in lieu of
said ordinance the schedule of terms offered by Con-
gress to Minnesota If not accepting said schedule,
then the territory shall not be admitted into the
Union until it has the requisite population according
to census, when it may enter the Union after having
formed a republican constitution. Mr.. English ex-
planned the views of the majority of the committee
best that the committee could agree upon, and in
imposing condition of admission, it did differ from

Speech Of. Hon. II. M. shaw.

We publish to day, to the exclusion Of much other
matter, the late speech of Hon. H. NJ. Shaw, of this
State. mainly in reply to the remarks of Mr. Gilmer
on the Kansas question. This is the abest the
most pointed, and most impressive speech which
DR.. Shaw has yet delivered; and it cannot fail to
add to his reputation wherever it is read Mr.. Gil
mer's faacies and unsoundness on this vital ques.
ton are thoroughly exposed
1t will be seen that the veracious Joshua R. Gid
dings, finding that his friend Mr.. Glmer was in
close place, came to his aid and denied that he
graduated him on the memorable occasion when Mr..
Houston cried out " Kiss him, Giddingsr' Joshua,

is willing but the testimony bears upon its face in

F1Rr.-About eleven o'clock on Friday night last,
the blacksmith shop of Mr. Jenkins in the eastern
part Of this city, discovered to be on fire. Fire
Company No was promptly on the spot but could
not bring their engine into service, on account of
difficulty in procuring water. By the aid of their
buckets, however, "a number of which, by excel
lent contrivance of their own they have attached to
their engine) the fire was speedily got under, with
little damage even to the building in which it orig
mated. Company No. is in efficient state of
discipline and have made their engine by the libcr-
atty of the Board of Commissioners, one of the
best in the country. Fire Company No. and the
Hook and Ladder Company were not present.

audience was unusually large, and the concert gave
entire satisfaction.
Before the commencement of the concert the
