Sound Doctrines in Kentucky

The following resolutions were adopted at a
recent Democratic meeting in Hickman coun-
ty, Kentucky. They coincide fully with the
doctrines ofthe Mississippi Platform:
Resolved, 1st That the Territories of the
United States are held by the General Gov
eminent in trust for the several States. They
were acquired alike by the blood and treasure
Of the people, and in them the citizens of every
State should be equally protected in their
rights That the Constitution recognizes
property in slaves and that the only power
Congress possesses over the subject of sk -ery
in the Territories, is the power coupled with
the duty of guarding and protecting the own
er in his rights as defined by the judicial au-
thority OF the Government, and that the DOW
er to protect does not carry with it the power
to destroy.
Reso1Ued, I'd. That we heartily endorse the
decision of the Supreme Court in the Dred
Scott case, as the only sound and safe solution
OF the question of slavery both in the States
and Territories, whereby the equality of the
States arepreserved, and the Constitutional
rights Of the South protected.
Resolved, Sd. That we utterly repudiate the
Squatter Sovereignty doctrine Of Judge Doug
las, and can regard it in no other light than as
short cut to all the ends of Black Republi
canism.
RESOLVED, 4th That we are unalterably op-
posed to further compromises between the
North and South whereby our constitutional
rights are to be frittered away, and as all the
reasoning arguments and entreaties of South
ern statesmen for long series of years, to-
gether with the recent solemn adjudication of
the Supreme Court seem to have fallen at the
feet of Northern fanaticism like "nearls before
swine," we call upon our brethren throughout
the nation to come at once up to the great
landmarks of the Constitution, laid down by
the Supreme Court, and aid in maintaining
our rights and preserving the union of these
States.
ResolUe1, 9th. That the Democracy of
Hickman county will support no man for
federal office, who maintains the doctrine that
either Congress or the Territorial Legislatures
has the power, either directly or indirectly, to
prohibit slavery in the Territories. That we
regard eithea position as an invidious effort on
the part Of the Northern fanaticism to degrade
the South to destroy the equality of the
States of this Union, and prejudicial to our
rights of property.
RESOLVED, 9th. That the delegates appointed
by this meeting be, and they are hereby in
structed to use all honorable means to secure
the appointment Of delegates to the National
convention, to meet at Charleston, whose
views fully coincide with the sentiments ex
pressed by this meeting.

Democratic Meeting in Tishomingo.

At meeting of the Democracy of Tisho-
mingo county, heldat the Courthouse Oct 4th
1853. Hon. j. F. Arnold was called to the
chair, and Z. w. Carnack was appointed
Secretary.
A few appropriate remarks from the Chair
disclosed the object of the meeting wherefore
=. 9. Gillenwaters, Neal Morrison, Jno Curlee
81. 9. Hyueman, ]. J. Plaxco. Younger Pitts,
+. N. Boone and ]. NJ. Walker were appoin-
ted Committee to draft and report suitable
resolutions. Upon retirement of the Com
mittee Hon. A. B. Dilworth was called to the
stand who addressed tho Meetingin his usual
pointed energetic and eloquent manner.
Committee reported the following resolutions
which were adopted by the meeting
Resotued, That we re.announce as the basis
OF party action in the Charleston Convention
the platform of principles laid down by the
democratic party in National Convention Of
1866, and hold that the doctrine of non-inter-
ference with the institution of slavery in the
States, Territories or district of Columbia,
does not. and was not intended to conflict
with the assertion Of the power of Congress
TO protect the property Of citizens of the sew
eral States who may choose to settle in the
territories which are the common property of
the States who may settle in the Territories.
Resotred, That in the language of the Su-
preme Court of United States, ''the right OF
property IN slaves is distinctly and expressly
affirmed in the Constitution-and the only
power over it conferred upon Congress, is the
power coupled with the duty of guarding and
protecting the owners in their rights" as thus
declared.
Resoleed, That Mississippi will stand by
her sister slayeholding States in insisting upon
the enforcement by all the departments Of the
federal government of their constitutional rights
as thus expounded by the Supreme Court Of
the United States.
= RESOLVED, That we feel it incumbent upon
the Democracy of Mississippi again to declare
that the acquisition of Cuba BY the United
States is commercial and political necessity
and that we will hail with pleasure every pro-
per measure that looks to its accomplishment
and further, we can never consent to its ap.
preparation by any foreign power.
On motion the Chair was authorized to ap.
point fifteen delegates to represent the Demo.
cracy of Tishomingo county in the Democra
tic State Convention on the first Monday ir
December next.

gested by the Chair to-wit.

The State Fair.

The State Fair will be success if the laud-
able efforts of the Bureau are properly aided
by the public. The prizes have been well
chosen, and offer great inducements to COM
petitors, apart from the qualification which
mere success affords to the winner. Among
them we find, in looking over the list three
valued at $50 each; fifteen at $25 each; eigh-
teen at $20each; ninety-six at SO each, &c,
&c.
The prizes embrace variety Of articles Sc
lected with great care, and in spirit Of wise
Hberaity Let our planters, mechanics, mer-
chants-countrymen of all professionalism
countrywomen-all embark in the exhibition
of the resources and industry of the State with
an enthusiasm worthy ofthe cause the move
ment is designed to promote.

The Rebound from California.

The following from the st. Louis Republican
of the 4th inst, still further confirms the glo-
rious news from California After speaking of
the mission of Greeley, the object Of which
was to perfect the coalition between the Doug
lasites and the other factionists, the Republi-
can, in yielding up the ghost of its admiration
of the '1ittle giant" says:
The gamblers in politics did up the thing
as we'll as they could, but they made miser-
able miscalculation. Instead of beating the
Democracy in this Free State, the rebound is
tremendous. The whole coalition, to use a
homely phrase, have been aohipped clean cut Of
their boots. Our warrant for this assertion is
a dispatch from Senator Gwin to President
Buchanan, sent to Washington yesterday by
gentleman who was the bearer Of it overland,
which is to this effect The majority of the
Democracy in California will be twenty thou
sand over the combined opposition. The
ticket for Governor has a majority in every
county in the State, except San Francisco,
which is doubtful. The Democrats elect every
member of both branches of the Legislature,
and Scott and Burch are elected to Congress
by large majorities.

one hundred and five survivors were proceed
ing to Great Fish River; that Sir John Frank
LIN had died in june Of the previous year, and
that the total deaths to date were 9 officers
and Is men. Many interesting relics were
found on the western shore Of King Williams
Island. Others were obtained from the Es-
qulmaux, who stated that after the abandon
ment Of the ships, one was crushed by the ice
and the other was forcedashore. Several skel-
etons of Franklin's men, quantities of clothing
and duplicate record up to the abandonment
Of the ship were discovered.

Well Said.

In the last Convention of the Opposition
party in Virginia, Mr. W. W. Gilmer, Of AL
bemarie, in speech which the Index pro-
nounces tracy and entertaining" said that he
had been solicited to subscribe to the Coloniza-
ton Society, and that he had assured the So
licitors of his readiness to do so, provided they
would agree to his plan of colonization, name
": to take out old negroes to Africa and re-
turn with their ships filled with young ones.
He would favor such colonization as that.
