US tell them, moreover, that they had about
as much 10 do with the location Of that Bank
as they had in manufacturing the Atlantic
Cable. In the maze Of the whole county,
we absolve them from all blame.
In conclusion, We will state that this ar
tiols has not been written in spirit Of re-
venge, nor even of unkindness. We faver-
ed the location Of the Bank at Marshall, and
still believe it should be located here; and
We shall resort to no speioe; cf toadyism to
conceal our views, or to curry favor with
that institution. We might, in justification.
Of our preference, refer to the fact that the
Bank IN its prssnt locality has, to the North,
two Banks at'Gla,gow, to tbs East, one at
Fayette; to the South, two a. Boonvills--
all within few hours ride, and all seeing
the patronage Of the public.
This array Of Banks-so near, and anx-
iOus for all the business they can do sur
rounding it on three sides, added 10 the fact
that on the West it is bounded by sGi-
bralter Of enemies, leaves the Arrow Rock
Bank in no very enviable position However,
it has now become a fixed institution of tho
county, and as much We shall rather en-
deavOr to allay the prejudice against it,
We shall make no effort to strangle the in
FAINT in its swaddling clothes; but shall re-
serve the privilege as a public journalist
self.sppointed-to narrowly watch its move
ments, in order, If necessary, to prevent it
from becoming an engine Of evil and sns
barrassment, rather than q source of con.
venience and accommodation.

An Indignant Dousiasite.

The Charleston News having made the
suggestion that in the event of Douglas
being nominated for the Presidency by
the Democratic Convention, the Southern
delegates should secede and make anoth-
er nomination. for themselves, has re-
ceived several letters on the subject from
irate Douglas men. The following is one
of them, which shows the spirit of the
Northwestern Democracy:
MnwAuKIE, July 9th, 1859.
Editor! Erening Ncps:-Then, YOU do
really think that If Douglas is in danger
of being nominated at Charleston. the

nominate for themselves. am sorry Won
think so, but still we can't help it.

nated!-your efforts to the contrary not

you don't amount TO a row of pins. We

proud to tell you, will send at least 1000,
and If necessary 5000 Douglas men
providence permitting shall be one of
the number. And all | ask is to get a
sight OF you, and will make "sow jam"
OF your head in two minutes. Instead of

HH~ ARREST OF Missouri JuDGE.-
Judge John Watson was recently arrest
ed ut Keytesville, Charlton county,, on
the charge of having been one of the
party who broke open the county safe
about year and half ago, and robbed
it of some $4,000. The grand jury of that
county indicted him for grand larceny,
and he was required to give bail to the
amount Of $4,000. This case attracts a
great deal of attention, partly from the
fact that the accused is man of consider
able wealth, and at the time the crime
was one of the Judges of the County
Court,
The Athens post. [volume] (Athens, Tenn.) 1848-1917, 1859-09-09

vention, he ignored the principles he had
advocated for more than twenty wears,
and expressed sentiments which called
forth the appreciation of Martin Van
Buren,. They were the Squatter Soye-
reignty sentiments now advocated bv
stephen A. Douglas. He had abandoned
his former expressed opinions, for what
purpose he would not say, but that aban-
donment was at a critical time, and men
might draw their own differences.
The repeal of the Missouri Compro.
mise had opened anew the slavery agita-
ton, and in that view he asked who were
the traitors? The Democracy who did
the deed, or he who had earnestly labor
ed to keep down all distracting auestionss
He referred to Mr.. Hammonds speech, in
which he said that the South ought to
have Kicked the Lecompton Constitution
out OF Congress, and indulged in a with
ering denunciation of Mr.. Buchanans
declaration, it Kansas was admitted un-
der the Lecompton Constitution, the
anti-slavery men need not be disturbed,
since the very neutrality-suspicious. might
oelt . son}f and abdsS s,kyery.
He said that he believed k&election of
a Black Republican President would be
used as means to dissolve the Union.
ana expressed the opinion that the great
est safety OF the South was in the Union.
The last fifteen minutes of Mr.. Bells
speech was in strain of earnest elo-
quence we have never heard equalled.
In the conclusion, he said that if it
would be any satisfaction to those who
were charging. him with willingness to
affiliate with Black Republicans, he would
tell them that he was willing to affiliate
with Black Republicans, or with men of
any other party, who would frankly place
themselves upon national platform, and
abJure sectional issues, for the purpose of
freeing the Republic from the misrule
and corruption which had degraded and
debased it.. In stieha cause, and on such
platform, he.woull even tal<e'the Silesf-
OF the Democratic leaders by tile hand.
and forgive their past transgressions, iui.
der the promise that their;fit,ire conduct
should be less mischievous to the coun-i
try. e..
We have by no means given all the
points made by Mr.. Bell, nor have we
fully stated those we do give. Our object
has been chiefly to give our readers a
general idea of the main topics discussed
IN one OF the ablest speeches of the day.
The language is all our own, and for that
Mr.. Bell is in no way responsible.
The speech was listened to throughout
with the deepest attention. We noticed
many Democrats among the audience, and
are not without the hope that seeds were
sown which will bring forth good fruit ut
no distant day.

very large scale. She has not only
armed her flying artillery with rifed six
Founders and her whole artillery on foot
with twelve-pounders, but is now going

like England, does not seem to have any
extraordinary amount of faith in the
French Emperor.

aEs~ A curious case is now pending in
New York. The illegitimate son of a
woman in the 64th year of her age (he52)
applied for commission to take charge
Of the person and property of his mother,
on the ground of habitual drunkenness.
During the examination it appeared that
the old lady was somewhat incorporate,
but that, nevertheless, she was shrewd
enough not only to keep her estate but an
nually add to it. Among other proper
ty in her name was bank deposit of

to get hold of. But the court ruled
against him, and the old lady holds on
