SOUTHERN Sc NTlMENT.

SOUTHERN SENTIMENT.
We commend the following to those indi-
vidu.ls WHO think that Judge Douglas has
no friends At the South. and that it is al
ready determided in advance that he cannot
be nominated At the Charleston Convention =:
Extract from letter to the editor Of the
Washington States, dated ~ =, i. !.
-sa.aN 'MAcoN, Ca, June 80, 1850.
The Consultation, l perceive, is out upon
the letter Of Judge Douglas, and no doubt
by authority. Now, sir, as one Of your sub
scribsrs, do let me beg you to come 10 his
defence. You have told the people Of the
fearful contest ahead with Seward, the tai
cnted, the reckless, the adroit tactician as
leader al the Black Republicans, backed bv
Exeter Hall and British gold. In this you
are faithful sentinel on the watch-tower
but can you be less faithful in shielding one
Of the noblest champions Democracy ever
had from blows dealt by fratricida' hands
What does il concern the country if there is
. quarrel between the Cabinet and Judge
Douglas Or what do the people care il
Judge Douglas does stand in the aspiration
Of other men? ] tell you that the USoFr1-
ClAL citizens of the Union will take counsel
alone Of their own interests in this matter. ~
Extract ofa letter from a gentleman in
Northern Mississippi to a gentleman in
Washington. one Of the most jnhexible Of
State.rghts men:
':Who is your candidate for 1860? Davis
and Hunter are my Glvorites, but expect no
success unless Douglas is nominated. Of
whom think better than ever did. ad-
mire his boldness and his views of foreign,
policy, and although cannot approve Of his
territorial doctrine; do not cenSure him for
it. He has always held such opinions, and
iearlessly expressed them whenever occa.
sion required"
Treaty WITH MExlco.-The Mobile
Register, lex Minister Forsyth's paper. )aIlu-
ding to the report that Mr.. McI4ane is neco.
tiating treaty with the Liberal government
Of Mexico says; We have good reason to
know that q negotiation is on foot. The ba-
sis oft, we understand, is pecuniary aid
from the United States, in consideration OF
tho session Of Lower California. The Juarez
government wished to include in the treaty
. guaranty of its permenance and power, but
Mr.. McLane had no instructions to author
ize this; A postal arrangement will be made
perhaps reciprocity convention When the
Tennessee left Vera Cruz the Liberal govern
m amt had almost m,de up its mind to aban-
don deep rooted Mexica, prejudice and to
accept the services Of a corps of American
volunteers, thrc Or four thousand strong.
The Washington writer's, who started
this report, now take it back as false There
is, nevcrthele trath in it: and the next
steamer may bring L,rdo de Teada or
Gen. Degollado to make the arrangement.

BRITISH ACQUISITIONS ON THE GOLD CoAsr
or AFRIcA.-Rev Mr.. Thomas, in his let
tcrS from Africa, says that the forts of the
Danes at Accra, and four other places on the
Gold Coast, have been recently sold to the
British Crown for $4,000. Thus, and by
lawful means, is England lcngthcning and
strengthening her stakes on the shores of
Guinea. When TIA" natives Of Danish Accra
heard that they were to change their mas
terra, they received the ti,linss with the
widest enthusiasm, and, with shouts for
Victoria, and proce ,~ions in her honor well
coined the rule OF her Majesty and the new
g." ~ ~nc'l h'SloIy. VII. l nOmaS says {:
''rhe superiority Of English rule and civil
ization in elevating African humanity, NAV
be seen in the advanced condition of the na-
tivcs in the Engli Il territories, as compared
with those Of territories under other foreign
influence. This appears in forcibe light
when VIC compare Cape Coast Town with
Elmina. The facts and figures that we lr,ve
given will show that civilization and Christ
ianity arc making progress in the former
place at = rate and Of il character which in
spire hopes Of the final triumph OF truth and
the arts Of peace"
DEATH OF A GREAT MAN Ruff; Choate,
the great jury lawyer, departed this life last
week at Halifax. SO passes away all that is
good and learned in society. Men strive to
become vcrscd in Science and Art, and whc.,
the temple is entered and the victory theirs.
death cuts the cord and they sink in the in
satiabc grave that swallows up all things.
None escape.
PUTTING THE NE,Ro ABOVE HuE FoE-
E1osEm.-The Cleveland (Ohio) He'uld, =
leading Black Republican paper, says:
I'VE unhesitatingly aver that seven-t tenth,
OF the foreigners in our land, who bow ir
obedience to the will Of the Pope of Rome
are not as intelligent a. the full-blooded
Africans Of our Statc--we will not includ,
the half bloOds."
