On all the ground that they had been

ew- On the l2th inst. a convention

EsT On the l2th inst, a convention of the democracy of Montgomery county, Alabama, was held to appoint delegates to State convention, which is to appoint delegates to the National Convention at Charleston. Among the resolutions were the following:
 As the Congress of the United States has no power to prohibit or abolish slavery in the Territories, so neither can it confer such au- thority upon its creature, Territorial Lrgis-
 ature. It pertains to the people of the Ter ritory to decide for themselves whether slavery shall exist therein or not, when in the exer- else of rightfu authority they form their State Consultation, with the view to admis- sion into tho Union, and that such decision becomes of force and effect upon the admis- sion of the Territory as a State.
 That since the adoption of the Cincinnati platform, the Supreme Court of the United States has in the Dred Scott case, clearly de- fined the constitutional rights of the South, and that we approve that decision and the principles set forth in the opinion of the Court, and that we think 1t to be the impera- tive duty of the Charleston Convention to ex- press it's approval of said decision and princi- pies, and to declare for protection of slavery in the Territories by Congress-.
 Entertaining these views, 1t is our sacred duty to support no man for the Presidency of the United States whose sentiments are op- posed to the principles contained in the fore going resolutions.
 Thirty seven delegates were appointed to the State Convention.

THE POSITION OF THE KENTUCKY DE- MooRAcy. - There has been for some time systematic attempt to misrepresent the sentiments of the Democracy of Ken lucky. An effort has been made to pro- duce abroad the impression that Douglas has considerable strength in this State, and that his dogma oi squalter sovereign ty is endorsed by the Kentucky Democ- racy. Primary meetings of the Democ- racy have already been held in twenty seven counties. In these meetings, with scarcely an exception, resolutions have been adopted endorsing the Adminstra- tion of Mir. Buchanan; majority of the counties have recommended Jas. Gutherie for the Presidency, and not single coun- |iy in the State has passed resolutions in favor of Judge Douglas, or approving his heresy of squatter sovereignty.
 That there may be no misapprehenson as to the position of the Democracy of this State, we publish below the resolu- lions adopted at the county meeting in re- gard to the doctrine of squatter sovereign ty. Every county which has spoken at all on the subject has declared in favor of the Dred Scott decision. and against the heresy of f"unfriendly legislation. Lou isville Courier.

a A SIGHT WoRrH SEErNc.-At the Gibson county (Tennessee) Fair novel spectacle was seen. It is thus described by the Clarion:
 About three o'clock, Mr. Stephen Meade and his wife entered the ring, fol- lowed by their twelve sons and two daugh- ters, each on fine gray steed, and in the order of their ages. They proceeded around in the ring, while the band struck up Hail Columbia, and drew up in front of the executive when the President made some very appropriate remarks. after which the mammoth family was vocifer- ously cheered from one side of the grounds to the other. We give n brief statement of this family: The old gentleman was born l793, and came to this country in 1919. Mrs. Meade was born in 1903. The two were married in 1891. The
 oldest son is thirly-six years old, and the youngest fourteen. The oldest daughter is nineteen, and the youngest seventeen. Eleven are married, and have twenty-two children. The fourteen children of MT. Meade were all born in Gibson county, and all now live here bu, one, and are the best of citizens. None of the family have died, and all now look hale and hearty"

ORGANIZATION OF ANOTHER TERRITo
 RY.-The commissioner of Indian affairs
 says the Washington Maies, has re.
 ceived from New York city a letter | in which was enclosed several circulars
 of various descriptions, all urging the i'm
 portance of an immediate permanent and
 final settlement of the aboriginal popua-
 tlon of the United States, and stating
 what steps had already been taken in or derto secure the accomplishment of such an object. It IS proposed, also, to form a
 United States aboriginal department The Territory designated for this purpose lis the Indian Territory lying west of Arkansas, and when properly organized, to bear the title of the "Indian Territory of Neosho.' In advocacy of this scheme, the writer says:
 We have enfranchised the anti -Ameri- can Spanish of New Mexico and CaIifor- nia--we have made Utah with her popu- lalion of the refuse of all the world, and her poiuco- religious hierarchy, an inte- gral part of the Union to be represented in Congress, ,-while the people of the proposed Neosho, with whom they are not to be compared in point of fitness for American citizenship, are made their sub- jects. We are not, however, prepared to advocate the full representation of abori- gina territories. For the present, it would be an exceedingly delicate question, one which may, perhaps, be discussed with more profit by future generation; but we do not think that at least, not only the Southwestern Terrtory--Nesoho- but some six or eight equally extensive sections should be organized as aborigi- nal Territories Congress should create an aboriginal department, placed under "a secretary as are other depart ments Of the government. And further, tha, at this, "the aboriginal department" the several aboriginal Territories should be annually represented.

DELEGATES TO THE NATIONAL Cow. vENrIoN. We notice that the Democratic State Central Committee of Tennessee has designated the 18th of January, ns the time for the assembling, at Nashville, : of the Democracy of that State, in Con- vention, to appoint delegates to the Ma tional Convention to be held at Charles ton, for the nomination of Presidential ticket; also, to choose their electors for the State at large, and for the transaction of such other business as may be deemed necessary.
 It is full time that similar move was made in Arkansas, and no time should be lost in making the necessary arrangements for the assemblage of Convention at Little Rock. Let all parts and portions of the State be properly represented, and men selected to represent the State in the National Convention, who are well versed in the desires and sentiments of the de- mocracy, in reference to the selection of suitable candidates for President and Vice President.
 The electors for the State at large should be men of the first order of talents known to possess sound political knowl- edge, and willing 10 cavass the entire State.
 We trust the democratic press through out the State will properly urge this mat ter, in order that complete and thorough ,orgaization may be effected.

Ess~ The London correspondent of the Boston Post speaks as follows of the Great Eastern: The Great Eastern has flum- muxed! The leading journals record it's trial trip as "only partial success" We all know what that means, She rolls like a porpoise, or log canoe. the decks leak. the iron plates don't fit, the decorations crumble and disappear, and--the worst remains behind-she can only go little more than half the speed that was expecl- ed of her! The very best that can be got out of her under the most favorable olr- cumstanees of wind, water and coal, is thirteen miles an hour. So say some knowing engineers who were on board, and who wished and hoped the most favor able result There is no disgusting it.. The great hull Is worth all il would bring for old iron.

 RAILRoAps-RA TAX, Erc.- The spirit of improvement has become a part of the life and being of the great mass of the people of Arkansas. The friends of the Cairo and Fulton Railroad have recently commenced anew in their efforts to.push forward that s,upendous en- terprise--the Memphis and Little Rock road is dragging along slowly, doubtless, awaiting favorable legislation at the next session or our Legislature. Our Helena friends, and the counties contiguous to .Crawley's Ridge, seem determined to meet Missouri at the State line, and con- tinue the Iron Mountain Railroad down the western slope of Crawley's Ridge to the Mississippi river at Helena.
 While efforts are being made to extend the lines of railroads East, West and South of us, our people scenic be "laying upon their oars really doing nothing towards consumating the most profitable enterprise in the Southwest. We have heretofore urged upon the people of Des Arc, and the country West of us, the feasibility of building road known as the l" Des Arc, Dardanele and Fort Smith Railroad" True, we failed to obtain a charter during the last Legislature. This, however, should not discourage us.- Another Legislature will, no doubt, not only give us liberal charter, but we have right to expect the same aid that may be given other roads.
 The people of the northern portion of Prairie county have right to be heard, and their choice to be respected at the next Democratic county convention. The heaviest amount of taxes, and the pre- ponderence of population has long been made to yield to the " dictation," to say nothing of the management" of the favored few in Prairie county.
 We hear it intimated, that project is on foot, to bring into prairie county, some five or six hundred hands to work on the line of the Memphis and Little Rock Railroad, that they are to remain in the county six months, and that at the end of that time the question of taxing the coun- ty 10 aid in building the road is to be pre- sented, and that with this additional num- Der of votes, they confidently believe they can fasten the railroad tax on us!- Even should this unfair advantage be at tempted. We have only to unite the South ern and Northern portions of the county, in spirit of common defence, and mo railroad tar' will again triumph al the polls.
