Too much stress has, however, been laid on

NOninterventiOn in tile South.

In the Mobile Register, of September 9th,
appears letter written by the editor, Hon.
John Forsyth, late Minister to Mexico. He
says:
If the Charleston Convention nominates
candidate and puts him in the field upon the
platform of Congressional Intervention and
the slave code, our people may as we'll put
their houses in order for Black Republican
administration. 1t is certain. This or
split in that Convention is the only living
hope OF the Niger. worshipers.
Shall we rush into the trap that stands
gaping to destroy US? Moan eternal no to
the mad and suicidal proposition. The peo
pie of the South will say "no" to it, and the
politicians will have to back TO their will
Virginia will send no such preposterous
councils to Charleston. North Carolina and
Georgia are ready at this day to repudiate
them. Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas and
Missouri will not throw away a substance to
grasp at shadow; and as for Alabama,
believe that if the people were sounded now,
an overwhelming majority would respond in
favor OF non-intervention and fidelity to tie
bargain solemnly made at Cincinnati in 1856.
Why, the sovereignty of Congress over the
subject of slavery in the Territories has al
ways been an abolition doctrine. 1t was the
informing and vital principle of the Wilmot
Proviso Am to be told that the people Of
Alabama find virtue in that doctrine now
which they have fought and put down in
other times2 The South cannot abandon the
non-intervention principle 1t is the princi-
pie of safety and Of right to which it is bound
by its plighted faith, and by every strong
link and tie of interest and honor.
The New Orleans Crescent quotes the
above and says:
Mr.. Forsyth is evidently a Douglas man.
and has substantially come TO the conclusion
the Crescent arrived at many months ago,
that the great Illinoisan was the only person
who stood chance to defeat Seward in 1860.
This impression or conclusion, so far as we
nave been able to judge, appears to be gain
ing ground generally throughout the South;
and we should not be surprised if those who
are now most busily engaged in denouncing
Douglas lind it convenient to tack ship and
come into his support. We are not Douglas
men and never have been but when the al.
ternative of Douglas or Seward is presented
TO u.s. as we believe it will be next year we
thlnk we shall have as little trouble in COM
ing to proper determination as will vast
majority of the Southern people.

During the week past Congress has dis-
clssed the Slavery subject as usual the oe'
bate being carried on by the democracy al
most alone, the Republicans voing TO or
panize the House, when they can get
chance. On Friday last number oil Ike
publcans or Anti-Lepompton men, voted
for Mr.. Gilmer of n. c, so that the de-
mocracy might vote for, and elect HIM, u
they chose 10 do so, and thus organize the
House. But the democracy refused 10
Weld, and the Republicans then went back
70 Sherman and ran his vote up TO III,
lacking but of majority. This opera
,;on took the wind out of the democracy
who have been Boosting all the while
that no American candidate could obtain
votes enough, which united with the de-
mocracy. to elect a speaker. The vote on
this occasion was, Sherman SO, Bocock so,
Gilmer Sc, scattering, 8. The day had
previously been consumed by disunion
speeches from the South.
On Saturday there were two ballots
Sherman had III both times. Before the
baloting commenced, Mr.. Larrabee OF
Wis, made a servile speech in behalf Of
Slavery.
On Monday there was important talk in
NJ 81
Of Ohio made speech on the charges
made by southern Senators against the
northern democracy, and also against The
construction of the Senate Committees,
which he said "gave Senators from the
Slave holding States, the chair of every
single Committee, controlling the public
business" Pugh's late defeat in Ohio, has
evidently stiffened up his back some.
In the House there was adisunion speech
made by Mr.. Singleton of Miss, who asked
Mr.. Curtis (Repub.) of Ohio, if il was the
Republican idea not to let the them have
another foot of slave territory, and Mr.
Curtis told him it was. Mr.. S. then de
clared that they (the South) "rould haze
expansion of Slavery inMe Union, or out
side of 1t If they must" The House ther
voted again for Speaker and Mr.. Sherman
advanced another peg-having 1l2, as fol

Two ballots were then had, Sherman hold
