HoN, g. A SMrTH.-This gentleman re-
spends through the columns OF the PATRIOT
this morning, to the charge OF corruption
made against him by the editor OF the Knox
willie Whig. The paragraph introducing the
charge of the Wing quoted by Mt SMITH, as
coming from this Journal, never appeared IN
il. Some weeks ago we did publish, however
the charge of the Wing, with the following
lines introducing it:
The Editor of the Knoxville Why, in
recent letter from New York, says"
His sfriend" who sent him the slip cut 1t
from some other paper. and, no doubt' thought
when ne forwarded it, that it was from the
PATRIOT. The matter is unimportant, per-
haps, nevertheless We prefer to make the cor
rection. As to the grave charge made by
the Wing, that lies between Mr.. 3. and his
accuser.

quite candid. 1t sees the Inconsistency OF
The "irrepressible conflict" doctrines, but ex-
cuses itself on the ground that they are sim
ply an abstraction theory which be will
never attempt TO reduce to practice. Our
contemporary doubtless believes what it says;
but is there not sufficient reason TO apprehend
that once in the possession Of the power and
patronage of the general government, Mr..
SEWARD would WELD them to break down the
constitutional guarantees of the South, and
to effect, If possible, the emancipation of the
slaves? With due respect for the opinions of
the Courier and Enquirer, we think there is.
Anti-slavery is essentially aggressive. 1t is
founded upon opposition to the rights of a
portion of the people, guaranteed by the Con-
stitution, and conceives it just to interfere
with matters in which IL has no concern what
ever. Mr.. SEWARD sympathizes with it and
could not resist its demands. He could not
escape. after having bound himself 10 anti
slavery as he did in the Cleveland speech. In
that speech he is reported to have said
slavery" be said, .'can be limited TO its
present bounds ii can be ameiorated 1t
can be, and it must be, ABOLISHED, and you
and i aud must doit. The task il as
simple and easy as its consummatiOn Will be

quir,s to follow only this simple rule of ac-
ton: 10 do everywhere, and on every occasion

"Correct your error that SLAVERY has conStitu-
tionGt guarantees uhich may not be reie0sed, and
ought not 10 be retin9nshed You will
soon bring the parties Of the country into an
effective aggression upon slavery"
This is plain and to the point. 1t binds
Mr.. SEWARD to the fell purposes of the enc
mics of Southern slavery. 1t takes away
from him4he saving clause of The Rochester
Speech, and pledges him to do every where
(ia The Presidency as well as out of it.)and on
every occasion" what he can to abolish slave
~. The Courier and Enquirer failed, in its
response to US, TO notice the citation from the
Cleveland Speech possibly because our con-
temporary saw that it confuted the idea of
the '.rrepressible conflict doctrines being
an abstraction. We respectfully call its at
tentionkto the citation, and ask its views up
on it.

Douglas and the Charleston

The following is the letter Of Senator
Douglas stating upon what terms he will
permit his name to 90 before the Charles
ton Democratic Convention in 1860:
WASHINGTON, June %, 1859.
Ny nEAR SGR-I have received your letter,
inquiring whether my friends are at liberty TO

tion for the Presidential nomination.
Before this question can be finally deter
mined, it will be necessary to understand dis
tinctlv upon what issues the canvass is to be
conducted If (asI have full faith they Will
The Democratic party shall determine, IN the
Presidential election of 1860, to adhere to the
principles embodied in the Compromise meas
ures of 1850, and ratified by the people in the
Presidential election of 1852, and re-aftirmed
in the Kansas-Nebraka act Of 1854, and incor-
porated into the Cincinnati platform of 1856
as eXpouuded by Mr.. Buchanan in his letter
accepting the nomination, and approved by
the people in his elcction--in that event, my
friends lwill be at liberty to present my name
to the Convention, if they see proper to do So
If. on the contrary, it shall become the pol
icy of the Democratic party (wh ch | cannot
anticipated to Teprdiate those time-honored
principles, on which we have achieved so many
patriotic triumphS and in lieu of them the
Convention shall interpolate into the creed OF
the party such new issues as the revival Of the
African slave trade, or Q Congressional slave
code for the Territories, or the doctrine that
/ the Constitution of the United States either
establishes or prohibits sla"ery in the Terri
tories, beyond the power of the people legally
to control it as nther propcrty-it is due to
candor to say, that, in such an event, could
not accept the nomination If rendered to me.
Trusting that this answer will be deemed
sufficiently explicit | am very respectfully,
/ your friend, $. A. DOUGLAS.

The other evening, Natty was holding
forth Democracy to crowd with his usual
deelamaticn, and got through the usual
round of topics. He was about winding
up with the grand flourish, when voice
from the crowd sung out Tariff !" For
a moment, Natty was struck all aback
But stepping aside on the staging, he was
observed to pour out and quaff off pretty
stiff horn of what may hare been fully
colored water. In an instant his sclf.pos-
session turned, and with sundrY Jerks at
his braces, and sonIe coughing and hcm-

you his note, which, when due, is protest

and before it becomes due he breaks, and
you loose it all. Then it becomes ait tar

if it still don't go right, will then stady
out the other.
Amidst the voCiferous appiaudings that
ensued, Natty retired, cock of the walk.
There is sound philosophy in the Potts
vile orator. If every man who con- plains,
would first acknowledge how much is due
to his own errors, and set about reforming
them, he would find little LETT to charge
upon tariffs or other Legislation.
