this being neglected, the great danger is that

The true use Of literature is the rulsure Of

Most clearly, that Of languages; and Of Ian

Douglas Reviewed.

We have received pamphlet entitled "Observa-
tons on Senator Douglass views of Popular Sover-
eighty, as expressed in Harpers Magazine. for Sep
>tember, 1859" This document we will lay before
our readers in our next At present we quote a
notice of it from the N. Y. Times, Black. Republi
can paper with tendencies to conservatism and de-
cency. It says:
1.-THE POPULAR SOVEREIGNTY QUEsrIoN.-The
Constitution of Saturday publishes reply to Sena
tor Douglas views on Popular Sovereignty, filling
SIX columEs of that paper and understood to be
from the pen of the Attorney General, Judge Black.
1t Is clear in its STYLE temperate in tone and exceed
lngy forcble and cogent in argument. The position
presented in this article that of the Democratic
party is that slaves are recognized by the Federal
Consultation as property in States where the local
law so treats them that they remain property
when taken into any State of which the local law
does not forbid their being regarded that Con-
gress has no right to deprive their owners of this
property in the territories other places under its
jurisdiction and that it cannot delegate pow
er which it does not possess neither the Legislature
nor the people of Territory have any authority to
prohibit Slavery within its borders. 1t comedies,
however, that when they come to form a State Con-
stitution they may establish prohibit Slavery as
they see fit Until then they have no power what
ever over the subject.
The positions of the article in the Constitution
are stated with great cleaincss and precision, and
leave no room for misunderstanding or controversy
as to their meaning. Its ability and the cogency of
some of its extracts from former speeches of Judge
Douglas, will probably constrain him to take some
notice of it."

Oil FouNTAIS.-Some wag has hoaxed the N. Y.
Tribune with an account of an oil fountain recently
discovered somewhere in Pennsylvania. From
bore in the earth seventy-one feet deep, the oil is
thrown up BY pump at the rate of 400 gallons per
day! Pretty good. We would like to know what
kind of oil it is We fear 1t is hardly as greasy as
Grcely.
BY the way, an old citizen Of one of our mountain
counties asserts that he has discovered tnllow
mine! He accounts for its formation thus In some
past period when vast herds of cattle roamed through
the valleys and the mountains all very fat an
earthquake occurred. At the first trembngs of
terra rma, the frightened herds collected together,
when the earth parted, swallowing up thousands
By another commotion the fssure in which they
were engulphed was closed, squeezing the fat from
them while internal fires purified it and made it in
to one huge cake of tallow, where it has remained
undiSturbed ever since.
We commend this talow mine to Greely, and
hope he will visit it as soon as he gets through with
the Mormons.

INJUSTICE TO ES-PREsIDENT PIERcE-The alusion
in Gov Corwin's late speech to Gen. Pierce falling
from his horse when he was in the Mexican war was
in very bad taste, and was utterly unworthy of a
man who has been governor of Ohio, Senator in
Congress, and Secretary of the Treasury
Constitution
Unworthy of Governor, Senator, or Secre-
tary, but every way worthy of the man Tom Corwin.
While Gen. Pierce was fighting the battles of his
country in a foreign land, this same Corwin was
taking part with the public enemy, and advising
them to welcome Pierce and his brave companions
'with bloody hands to hospitabe graves" 1t is an
honor to Gen. Pierce to be abused by sucn man as
Tom Corwin.
Corwn is one of the favorites of "the opposition,
and would no doubt if nominated, be supported by
them cheerfuly for President We presume an
Electoral ticket could be organized for him in many
of the slaveholding States.

Baltimore to be Redeemed!

1t will be seen from the following notice of pub
lie meeting in Baltimore that that City is in fair
way to be redeemed from the influences which have
so long impaired its good name and injured its pros
perty. We trust the good work will go on until
Plug Uglyism and rowdyism are consigned to the
disgrace which they deserve:
BALTIMORE, Sept. S.-The town meeting called by
the merchants mechanics, business and professional
men assembled this afternoon at 4 o'clock at Monu-
ment Square, to deliberate and devise means for res
cuing the city from its present disorganized condi
tion and restoring the supremacy of law and order
The vast square was densely packed, and all the
avenues leading thereto, thronged by masses of Or
derly, respectable and influential citizens
The preamble and resolutions set forth in clear
and emphatic language, the social and political evils
which exist. They condemn Club rule and propose
vigorous and effective measures to ensure fair eX-
preston of sentiment at the ensuing election by
protecting the ballot box; placing in nomination
honest, capable and fearless men in opposition to
the nominees of political clubs also for the appoint
ment of committee to call upon the Mayor, and
demand the selection Of reliable men, as Judges of
the next election; and the appointment of special
police force, to keep the polls clear; and emphati-
cay to empower special committee to nominate,
irrespective of party, the most respectable and rel
able citizens for officers.
The meeting was addressed by Geo. Brown, Esq.,
distinguished member Of the bar; James Hodges,
merchant, of the firm CT Hodges & Brothers, and
George NJ. Gill. The speeches were received with
shouts of approval.
During the proceedings several efforts at inter-
ruption were made by members of rowdy gangs, but
they were promptly suppressed
After the adjournment a body of rowdics, calling
themselves Regulators rushed to the stand and one
Of them attempted harangue. The police arrested

The New Telegraph Cable to get Rid Of the Aneri
can Telegraph Mon0poly

BosroN Sept. 10.-A specimen of new submarine
telegraph cable of the kind used by Mr. F. N Gis-
borne. in connecting Touloun with Algiers, over
four hundred miles, is on exhibition at the Mer-
chants Exchange. 1t evidently possesses advan-
tages over all other submarine cables yet presented
to the public The distance from Cape Ann to
Yarmouth, N. S. is under two hundred miles,
When this cable is laid there will be an end to the
"New York Associated Press" monopoly, which
now undertakes not only to rule the newspapers of
the United States in regard to the news they shall
receive but even how and over what telegraph line
they shall receive it, pain of being cut off from
the association This line to Yarmouth will render
the press of the United States independent of the
American Telegraph Company and Of the New York
press and will give such newspapers the command
of its own columns again, so as to express without
fear of punishment their Independent opinions upon
matters that the business public concerned with.
1t will break up the most outrageous monopoly and
speculation in teegraphic news which ever afflicted
the country, and throw the telegraphic business
open to enterprise and competition it ought to be-

WHERE Is IT s-Where is the Know NothingOp-
position executive committee? The Greensborough
Patriot calls for it. but the Register tells that paper
it is like calling spirits from the vastly deep The
Register says:
For the information of the Pn'riot and the par
ty generally we state that but very few of the Op-
position in Raleigh knew until about three months
ago, that there was any Executive Committee and
that at the present moment, with the exception of
three, we do not know who are the gentlemen COM
posing the committee. As far know. its
chairman has never called meeting of it, and as
far as we know, not "a step" was taken by it du-
ring the campaign which has just ended so glorious
ly for our party.
Under this state of affairs then, and in view Of
the fact that ten of the Opposition papers of the
State have cordially joined in the call for Conven-
ton in December, we respectfully suggest that it
seems strange to us to refer the question of the
proper time for the meeting of the Convention to
the arbtrament of a body which showed no sign of
vitality during the entire campaign which has end
ed so "gloriously, and which might perhaps have
ended yet more gloriously had the party been more
thoroughly organized"
What know-nothings! every few" knew that
there was any executive committee, and even the
Register itself only knows three of that committee
And then how charmingly the Register raps the
knuckles of said committee Not "a step" has it
taken-it couldn't walk
Can the Register inform its readers how, when
and where this executive committee appointed? ?
Was it done "in council" with only a Every few ="
present? The Patriot seems to be in the dark 1t
asks:
again it has been said that at Raleigh, during
the last Legislature at meeting of the Wings, a
State Executive Committee appointed, and, if
such is the fact, we would advise that nothing be
done until this committee may take some steps in
the matter"
The Register can give no information but he is
in favor of taking the responsibity-of ignoring
the executive committee, and going ahead generally.
Have not ten papers spoken out for convention in
| December? and are not ten men enough lead the
Opposition by the nose?
The truth is the Register thinks its party recent.
ly obtained advantages in this State, and it is
greatly elated few hot-headed soldiers sometimes
rush upon an outpost and drive the enemy before
them, and flushed with fancied victory they pursue
the flying foe until they find themselves in front Of
the main army, where they are cut to pieces. The
Register and its eager followers are pursuing this
course. They are literally running over themselves
| We shall look upon the race with pleasure.

The State Fair.

We have just sent out for the Secretary of the
State Agricultural Society, who, we regret to say,
has been indisposed for some weeks past, number
of complimentary cards to editors and others. We
think we have sent to every editor in the State but
if any have been overlooked, they will please notify
u.s. We are also authorized to say that editors, and
reporters for papers, whether of this or any other
State, will be furnished with complimentary cards
at any time by applying either to the Secretary, or
at the Standard or Register office. -...
The ensuing Fair bids fair to be fair one at least
if not superior one. We trust every portion Of
the State will send something to it. Our brethren
OF the press will confer favor and public benefit
by stirring up the people on the subject and urging
them to attend with their various products. Am

wagon belonging to Abner Coletrain Esq, of Ran
dol ph, was crossing it at the time. The driver, a
negro, was seriously if not fatally injured three
horses killed, and the entire load sixteen barrels of

understand will be built Immediately. 1t should be
done forthwith, as very large amount of country
produce comes into town in that direction and our
country friends wilL in all probability delay bring

when many Of them voted for him again in Conven-
very as Judge White Gen. Harrison, or Mr.. Clay,
and sounder than Mr.. Ewing, or Mr.. Granger, or
John Quincy Adams.
These are facts The Register may question, but
it cannot disprove them. If the Democrats by sup
porting Mr.. Van Buren in 1886 and in 1910, covered
dition were the Wings at the same period, with the
Editor of the Register among them?
If the Democrats failed during Mr.. Van Buren's
administration to arrest the abolition agitation, it
no fault of theirs, but the fault of such Wings
as Adams, of Massachusetts,, Slade of Vermont, and
Giddings, of Ohio.
But the Democrats elected Mr.. Polk over Mr..
Clay; and Mr.. Polk signed the Wilmot Proviso in
the Oregon bill. This Proviso, so called, was sim
ply declaration that slavery should not be permit
ted to exist in Oregon which lies north of the Mis-
souri, line 1t was sustained in Congress by the
great bulk, if not by all of the Wings from the non
slaveholdng States; and the object of these Wings
was-not to exclude slavery from Oregon, for they
knew it would never go there-but to embarrass
the administration of Mr.. Polk The people of Ore
gon were in state of anarchy, suffering for Ter
ritoral government. Under these circumstances
Mr.. Polk signed the Territorial BILL protesting
against the Proviso which was inserted in it by the
Wings of the nonslaveholdng States. These arc
the facts. The Register denounces Mr.. Polk, and
the Democrats who voted almost to man against
this Proviso but it has nothing to say against its
brother Wings from the free States acho voted that
Proriso into the biH
Mr. Polk was in favor of, and Mr.. Clay was op.
posed to, the annexation of Texas. Under Mr..
Folks administration, and as the result Of Demo-
cratic efforts, some three hundred thousand square
miles of slave-hoding territory were added to the
American Union. And yet, by voting for Mr. Polk,
and by annexing this vast area of slave-holding
territory, the Democrats, according to the Raleigh
Register covered themselves with Everlasting in
funny" on the question of slavery!
But enough for the present When will our ul
ira, Southern Rights, .fre-ea'ing cotemporary Of
the Register discourse" again?
