TUESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 20, 1853.
STRONG AND ELOQUENT.
Hon, John Forsyth, late Minister to Mexico, and
editor OF the Mobile Register has been IN the North
for soe months and has written frequently able and
interesting letters to bis paper, from which We have
on more than one occasion extracted, accompanying
our. extracts with such comments as We deemed
appropriate.
or all the prominent men in the South, belonging
10 the dominant party, Mr.. Forsyth seems embued
with the most common, practical sense. We don't
know him personaly-his political tenets don't re.
commend him To us-nor do we thus pay high praise
10 him because he has substantially adopted the
policy recommended by the Crescent many months
before he re.assumed editorial connections. we
merely like the common, horse sense,' as they say
In Mississippi he has displayed. That Is ali. We
desire that Seward, or more odious Abolltloniss,
should be defeated in 1860 He desires the same
thing We believe there is only one man living VINO
can accomplish the end aimed at. He, indubitably,
ia of the same opinion. We prefer Douglas 10 Sew
ard. or any of his crew. He, Ike q true, sensible
sontberner. takes the same view of the case.
word In regard to Douglas, before we commence
our extracts from MIR. Forsyth's letter. Had not
Dou been elected to the Senate by the Legislature
os unois Abraham Lincoln would have been elected.
Douglas possesses noble, manly, generous qualities.
LINCOLN Ia the drtiest and meanest Aboltionist alive
There is not an emotion OF his heart, brain or soul
that is not unutterably filthy. Has not the South,
then, gained by the reelection Of Douglas to the
Federal Senate? Assuredy. And will not the South
also gain by the election Of bold brave, frank man,
like Douglas to the Presidency-ad all the
faults with which he is justly chargabe-over an un-
scrupulous fanatic like Seward Certainly Hence, ,as
the alternative is near at hand-as 1t will force itself
upon Us In few short months-we prefer taking
sensible course, and, II we cannot have our own way
Of accepting the best alternative circumstances vouch
safe.
In addition, we will venture the prophecy that be
fore the Charleston Convention meets the sound
horse sense" Of the Southern people, Will bring
their leading politicians to their knees-in case the
contingency happens to which we have reierred-ane
that men will be chosen to represent them in tht
national convention who will prefer moderate mar
to an unscrupulous Abolitionist.
We will now proceed to extract from our cotem
porary's New York letter to the Mobile Register:
hold upon the hearts Of the Alabama people, such
no man has had since the days Of jackson. He is
poor observer of public opinion and the .popula
pulse who forms his judgment alone from the utter
ances Of political speakers aud Of the public press
II you would get at the truth you must look deepe
and through and beneath the agitated surface.
Judge the people by my own heart, and by instinct
which through political career OF some duratio
and eyentfulness have never mised me. II the cou,
age, the genius, the fortude under persecution, To
the dauntless consistency Of Douglas, have challenge
my admiration for the man, and exalted him IN m
opinion to peerless position among the satesme
OF the country, |, being one Of the people, infl

obliged to believe that their human hearts must
moved as mine has been by the spectacle OF the con
ageous devotion Of this man to truth and prlnc,pi
and must turn to him as to man OF destiny, who
God has raised up to save the south from fresh d
grace, and the Government from the rule OF Sc
fional and abolition President.
Douglas has become oyerruling political nect
sity to the South. We must take him or do wor'
Some like myself will take him because they belle
in the man and have faith that as the head OF
Republic he will naugurate new era OF nation
