sessfully an Artesian well on the nights above

bored down to vein the water would not rise
high enough to secure city supply. 1t would
be easy for US to "run it in the ground" if we
have money and the tools, but it would be a
serious "bore" not to have it prove useful.

bey- The Cincinnati Gasetis says that the friends

to be attributed solely to sympathy for him. We
hope that the saue sort Of sympathy win take the

BY The cry of 'no chance" was raised against
Fillmore, and many, deceived by it, voted for Blu
chanan to defeat Black Republican. Could Ere
mont have done worse than his successful COMPETE
tor? Again the cry is heard that the contest is be-
tween democracy and Republicanism, and that the
South must be unit in order to defeat the latter.
Yet the demagogues who urge this consideration,
are earnestly advocating the nomination of Douglass;
and before we will consent to aid democracy, we
must be told, in plain terms how Douglass differs
from any other Black Republican. We see no diff
erence, and in such a contest can have no chocc-a
democratic Republican being odious as the black
est of the black ones. Squatter Sovereignty, alien
suffrage and no protection by Congress is Douglass
platform Seward and Giddings stand upon the
same, and honestly their hostility to slavery
whilst Douglass, less honest, endeavors to conceal
that important fact

Efa5~ Col George w. Gayle, prominent demo-
crat of Alabama says the South can never obtain
its rights until the democratic party is broken down.
and in defense Of his position, draws mp strong
indictment against the party, for which we can not
find room this week. When prominent democrats
begin TO see and act upon the truth of the charge
that the democratic party of the South, can not
be trusted the slavery question, there is ground
for the hope that healthy revolution is progressing
by means Of which the South can shake off its
party schackles, and maintain its rights against the
insidious assaults of its foreign and domestic foes
Those in the South, who endorse Douglass can not
be true to southern interests because there is not
in his programme Of principles single that does
not forbid the further extension of slavery. Whilst he
procaims the specious doctrine that the people of
Territory shall settle the slavery question for them
selves, without Intervention from any quarter, he
ngenicdsly brings to bear alien suffrage and squat
handouts the latter with the denial that Congress
has the power TO protect slave property when
directly, or indirectly assailed Yet southern de-
mocrats are looking forward to the nomination of
that Black Republican by the Charleston Conven-
ton, and preparing to give him cordial support
Well may Col. Gayle say that the democratic party
dis an incubus upon the rights of the South deserv-
ing to be crushed

an age in which theories and principles are examin-

in which little respect--perhaps too little--is paid
