Douglas or Seward"

The chief argument used by the Douglas
men in support of their fayorite is the assertion
that the country must "take either Douglas
or Seward for President in 1860 A prominent
friend of Mr.. Douglas, and, blythe way, most
excellent gentleman, in conversing with the
writer of this, q few days ago, made this as
sertion as the chief point in his argument
Wereplied that his assertion must mean that if
Douglas should not be candidate his friends
would vote for Seward, and that we thought
it, therefore, very poor complaint to the
Douglas Democrats. Our antagonist admit
ted that many of Douglas friends in such
an event. would vote for Seward, "for," says
he, Eve should not be able to control them
ALL We rejoined "This is an unfortunate
admission for you, for, you must acknowledge
that, before Mr.. Douglas made war upon the
administration, there was not one ofhis friends
in the country but would have scorned the
idea Of supporting Seward, and if they are
now inclined to support Seward, unless Doug
las be in the field as a candidate, it must be
that by following Douglas thus far they have
qualified themselves for supporting even
Seward
Your argument shows to what an extent
the treason and heresies of your champion
have demoralized the Democracy of the Nor
thern States. You know that none who voted
for Mr.. Buchanan in 1856 could then have
been induced to support Seward, and, as Sew
ard has not changed his position since that
time, unless it be to get still further from the
Democratic party, how is it that 50 many Of
your fellow Douglas Democrats have been
changed so as to support the great apostles Of
| Higher Law-ism, ''under any circumstances? ?''
Our opsnent could make no other answer
/ 10 this than the assertion that 1--WE must take
either Douglas or Seward" This is now the
/ chief stock in trade of the Douglas men, and
they will employ it as an argument in fayol
az Douglas at Charleston. We shall see how
they succeed with it.

From the States Rights Democ'
Squatter Sovereignty.

By pruning all redundancies from the AZ
gument pro and con squatter sovereignty, the
question may be made so plain in a few words
that he who runs may understand.
Slavery is recognized as property by the
Constitution.
Government is pledged to the protection
Of '1ife, liberty, and property"
Therefore, Government must protect sla-
very wherever it may legally exist, if fnecessi-
ty require. Is not this plain and irresisti-
bic deduction? Now for the application.
Territories are required by the united effort
and common expense of the whole country,
and consequently belong in common to all
sections.
Of course, then, any species of property re-
cognized by the Constitution may be taken
there, with rights of equal consideration.
Slavery may be taken there, and libe any
other species of property has constitutional
right of governmental protection, in case of
injury or in the absence of other adequte
guardianship.
Here the question stands, and here it will
always stand-a plain one of right and wrong
the voluminous essays Of Mr.. Douglas to
the contrary Notwithstanding. He takes the
negative and denies that slavery has any right
to governmental protection in the Territories
He takes the ground--to bring his long argu-
ment to concise, plain common sense-that
if there are three neighbors, one of whom has
slave property, and the other two are without
it-then the two may say to the one, "you
zGhall not own slaves here" and force him to
MIGRATE hts -sanres or aeavo-the ReaghseFheOd-
This is the enevitable conclusion, in a nut
shell, of his argument of twenty pages in Har-
per.
His position is one of direct hostility to the
South. Let the South properly punish him
for his arrogant defiance. She will have the
opportunity in the Charleston Convention.

Bad Management Of the N. o. ]. & g
II. Railroad.

We find in the last Eagle a very severe ar
raignment of Mr.. Hasell, the Superintendent
Of this road, upon series Of charges, which,
If correct, and doubtless they can be substan-
tiated, entitle him to the immediate notice of
those who are chosen by the stockholders to
represent them in its management.
The interests of the stockholders and of the
public are reciprocal, and if the latter are dis
regarded and neglected the former must suf-
fer. Thus viewing the matter, we shall look
confidently to the application Of speedy rem
edy by those to whom the Superintendent
is responsible for the proper discharge of his
duties
Such potent corporations as Railroad
Companies, possess great power for evil as
well as good, and the risk of the former is en-
dured with the hope of obtaining the latter
If their agents in a spirit Of arrogance are per-
mltted to play the despot, and to manage
them IN violation Of their charters and in dis
regard of the rights and the convenience of
the public, corrective ought at once to be ad-
ministered.
We trust that among the very many per-
sons who have suffered by the mismanage-
ment OF the Road, some of them will have
their grievances adjudicated by the Courts
And if from those tribunals no efficient rem.
edy can be had for intolerable injustice when
practised by mammoth corporations the law
making power Of the State must be invoked
to its aid
We will reproduce the structures Of the
Eagle in our next issue; and meantime we
ask of correspondents the favor to place us in
possession of such further authentic informa-
ton as will throw light upon the transactions
of the Superintendent and his management Of
the Road"

A Specimen of Old Fashioned Democ-
racv,


We copy the following extract from an Ad-
dress of that true and sturdy Democrat of
Mississippi ALBERT G.. BRowN 1t has the
ring of the true meta, and is really refreshing
in these times of shin plasters and rag money
How few Democrats there are, at the present
time, who have not become tainted and cor
rupted by banks and paper money:
al am for the currency Of the Constitution.
| am hard-money, bullionist There is no
grant in the Constitution for the erection ofen-
gines, mills, and other machines for the manu-
facture of paper money. The trainers Of the
Constitution were hard-money men-they had
profted by the sad example of England and
France in the seventeenth century, and the no
less melancholy fate of the colonies, growing
out of their connection with continental notes
and otherp paper currences, and they determined
to exempt the new government from such bale
full influences, and declared that it should have
the power to coin money and regulate its val
ue, and then stopped-and nowhere is there
given to this government Of their creation, this
government Of limited powers, any authority
over the currency, other than that just men,
coin money and to regulate the val
ue of foreign coin. Paper money is unknown
to the Constitution. 0urforefathers purpose
Iy excluded thing of such contaminating in
fuence from an instrument which they intend
ed should always be pure"

The majority of hair washes, hair dyes,
hair .tonics, hair oils, and the numberless pre-
parations which are now before the public un-
der such extravagant, hyperbolical and fan
tastic titles as we see paraded in show-win-
dow cards, and newspaper headings, as hair
preparations, are all humbugs of the first wa
ter; their real merit, when they possess any
is that they do no harm. Hogs lard, whale
oil, lard oil, sweet oil scented and colored,
make up, when in beautiful wrappers, and
white flint glass bottles, the costliest character
of tonics, and when thus costly, are baptized
with some tri-syllable term, and caught at by
verlant young and old of both sexes. Such is
not the character of Professor Woods Hair
Restorative. This gentleman comes before
the world without any high falutin" XlOph-
loforium, or any other astounding and start
ling catch-penny term; he simply advertises
a Hair Restorative-what it expresses, pre-
cisely-and as Restorative it acts. Buy
Prof Woods Hair Restorative, and as you
value your scalp, aye, your very brains, apply
nothing else for it may be that you will get
some worse substance than perfumed lard oil
on your Uranium. Remember Woods Res
torative for the Hair is the best article extant.

F. P. Stanton Turned Black Republican

LAWRENCE, X. T., Sept 9, 1859
Dear Argus: Well we have had Stanton
here. The great apostle of free soil and ne
gro equality has been before the Republican
club Of this city. We remember to have heard
him speak once before in Lawrence. Then he
was pro slavery and most fercely did he an
nounce that he would give "war to the knife,
and knife to the hilt," to all the free State
men Of Kansas. But change has come over
the spirit of his Dreams Now he is mild as
sucking dove Now he says sweet things of
the party of freedom" Now he abhors ne
gro slavery. Now he forgets to be proud
that he was born in the 'sunny South
James Buchanan was then the man who en-
crossed his admiration. Gle held commits
sion from him which brought him $1,000 a
year. but Mr.. Buchanan has withdrawn that
commission, and Gen. James H. Lane is now
the idol of the same F. P Stanton. Surely
times change and we change with them
But took my pen simply to announce to
you that you may expect Mr.. Stanton in your
town soon He is going to devote his ''entire
time to the furtherance of the Republican
cause" until November. You will hence be
informed why the Wyandotts should vote to
disfranchise themselves, and why your citizens
should aid in doing so.
Truly yours Iona

The Result of the Election in the 4th
Congressional District---The Issues
Decided.

1t is known that in all the Congressional
Districts in this State, except the Fourth, the
Democratic candidates for Congress ran unop-
posed. In the Fourth, however, the election
was warmly contested by Mr.. Franklin Smith,
of Madison, who met his competitor, Hon. O.
R. Singleton, the Democratic nominee, on the
stump in every county, and discussed with
him the issues upon which the election
turned.
In their discussions, Mr.. Singleton took the
position emphatically, and in terms 50 unam-
biguous that it could not be inexperienced,
that in the event of the election of Mr.. Sew
ard or any other Black Republican to the
Presidency upon the well understood doctrines
of the anti-slavery organization, he was in fa-
vor of dissolution of the Union, and that
the Southern people should take such prompt
and decisive measures as to prevent his inau-
guration as President over them.
BE denounced in all his speeches the Squat
ter Sovereignty heresy and the treachery of
Douglas and in reference to the Presidential
candidacy, he declared that he would not sup
port him If nominated for the Presidency by
theC Charleston Convention
Mr.. Smith vindicated Douglas and avowed
his willingness to vote for him.
Touching the election of Black Republi-
can to the Presidency, he declared that it
would not afford sufficient cause for disunion
and mgeniously argued in support Of the po-
sition.
Upon these grounds. the issues having been
clearly joined, the competing candidates ex-
pressed their readiness to stake the election.
The figures showin 9Th eresult, are submit
ted below, and we ask for them the attention
of the public. By these figures it will be
seen that in a District polling 10,416 votes,
the majority for Mr.. Singleton is FIVE
THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED AND SIX
TY-FOUR! And the full force and meaning
of the popular verdict will be better under.
stood. %hen it is known that the majority ol
the successful candidate in the same District
two years ago, was but eleven hundred and
seventy mine.
1t is proper to add that upon the matters
above mentioned there was an entire concur
renee of sentiment between Mr.. Singleton and
his colleagues on the Democratic ticket in the
other Districts, against whom no opposition
presented itself:

For the Mississippian
Writ Adams, Esq.

The election of this gentleman to the next
Legislature by 50 large majority. and his Pc
culiar qualification for the Office, have caused
the frequent suggestion of his name for election
as Speaker of the next House of Representa-
tives.
Mr.. Adams is son of the late Judge Ad-
ans of the United States Court, born and
raised in this State Although never in pub
lie life, his fine talents, public spirit, and ad-
dress, have thoroughly identified him with all
the leading interests of the State. His COM
manding person, suavity of manners, equable
temper, peculiarly qualify him for the post Of
Speaker of the next House, which will, in abil-
ity and character, surpass any that we have
ever had assembled in the State.

Letter from Major Roger.

Edttor Of tile M5Ssiss,Ppan
DEAR SIR-Having been appointed by my
friend, Governor Melville, q delegate from
Noxubee county to the Southern CONNER
cial Convention, assembled at Vicksburg, and
being prevented from attending said Conven-
ton by circumstances unavoidable, / there
fore address you on this occasion.
l find by the proceedings of said Conven-
ton that they have recommended the re-
opening of the African Slave Trade, as COM
mercial measure to increase the prosperity ot
the South. A more serious measure never
was submitted to the consideration of a COM
munity. To sum up the question in a nut
shell it amounts to this Shall ace Afifcanize
the South? | answer distinctly, No no
never
may be told that my fears are groundless,
that there is no danger of Afrcanizing the
South if the slave trade is opened. Let us
calmly review the subject In the formation
of the Federal Constitution it gave power to
Congress after 1903 to prohibit the slave trade.
They have done so, and in order to carry the
law into effect they have attached the odious
epithet of piracy to the trade. And more eff
fectually to suppress it they have entered into
a treaty with Great Britain to keep force of
not less than fifty guns ON the coast of Africa
jointly, to suppress the trade. And in addi-
ton they have put penalty of think, 81
600 on any person who has purchased an Af-
rican slave. Are these penalties sufficient :?
answer no. We hear of their arrival on our
coast. We hear of their traverSing Mississip-
pi freely; we hear ofmen of respectability say
ing, 81 would as soon buy an African as any
other slave" We see it advertised IN our
papers by number of men that they will pay
a fair price for African slaves
Thus the law is openly and fearlessly set
at naught. If law with such severe penal
ties cannot restrain our citizens, and we re-
open the trade, when shall we ever have NOR
al courage sufficient to stop it When the
law was passed, the great majority OF us De-
lieyed slavery an evil Now the thing Is
completely reversed, we consider it blessing
and that the Africans are in the very condl-
tion for which the Creator designed them L
am told that negroes will be cheap, and tnen |
every man can buy them. If fnegroes fall, SO |
will white labor fall, and man without
slaves will find as much difficulty in buying |
them as now. The price of negroes and the
nrice OF labor weigh not feather IN my bal
ances, A more serious question affects me.
Shall we drive off our white population ior |
Africans? Do I'VE not daily see the large FAR
mers buying out the small ones, and our
white inhabitants disappearing westward! 80 |
we'll satisfied am of the evils resulting from |
the re-opening of trade, that would sooner
vote for an Agrarian law tomorrow, even II
minimum were fixed so low that 1t woutd
compel me to sell half of what l now possess.
Which by the by, would be wise provision
if there was law passed that no man should
own exceeding acertain number of slaves
Yours, &c,
JOSEPH KOGER.
