which has made Liverpool what it is, ana !.
is the cotton of the South which created ana

miles distant, not quite; as large. In that year.
the first American cotton was received III
Liverpool, and now it is the first seaport IN
the world, with It population OF about SIX
hundred thousand. paying All annual property
and income tax of thirty-ive millions OF ao'-

manufacturing towns. and has a population Of
four hundred thousand. The magic power OF
the great Southern staple has called INTO oe-
ing these splendid cities; has crowded the
ports not only of England, but OF the North
ern States, with shipping has built up the
SNOWY streets and lofty residences OF ne"
York but what has it done for the South?
Where is the Liverpool OF tae South F.
Where the Manchester! Where the New
York? Where the harbors crowded with
shipping? Why is it that this section, winch
produces the staple that makes Others rich, is
not itself the richest. the most prosperous Of

wealth is solitary and deserted. whist the
most barren and distant places OF the earth:

Had our friend reflected for a moment, be
could have OWNED the. cause. without our as
sistance. The reason is quite simple. In the
first place, Sslidell stock is getting rather be-
low par, while the other branch or wing OF
the Democracy is daily increasing in strength
and importance. Therefore converts are &C.
ceptable to the Old Liners. The reason WHY
they are given Offices, is to purchase them,
90 that they may not 60 back to their " first

racy; or, to prevent their joining the New
Liners. Or, more reasonable still, because
there is-a great lack Of bone and sinew in the

ers frequently pushed forward by some of the
Southern Press. We stand In this matter with

the de}an1crs Of Douglas: as short sighted in
The extreme. We will inform The dear .4d-
voeate. that it wall find thousands Of Democrats
i'm place of ffty) in Louisiana who widely
amd openly differ with it in it's opinions Of
Senator Douglas. We de- ns, look upon Mr..
Douglas as a ~de.nasogue. and If we thought
him such, we woetld De sure not 10 tell it;till
after the meeting of the Charleston Conyen~
ton, for should he be successful, he will then
be looked upon. as al angelica light and his
past history will be represented as pure as
snow itself. The .Ad'vocate. deeply versed in
the affairs Of the nation. gravely tells us
Douglas can't get the nomination! In this
we. widely differ with the Advocate, for as
things now stand. the chances are all in his
favor. and we shall not be in the least aston
ishcd at his nomination.
It is thought by thousands of Intelligent
dcmoc: ats south OF Mason's and Dixon's line,
that he is the only man capable of giving
success to the National Democracy over the
internal hosts Of BIack Republicanisn, Let
all this be as it may. we think it very had

upon by the Charleston Convention to swal-
law our words by giving him a support. We
stand committed to no man living, bat if
Douglas wins at Charleston, he will most as
suret}y get our cordial support. Doubtless,

thought and yet be induced to take tea on
ship-board. Who knows?

/: % \ party Of Mexican guerillas made an
attack upon the town Of Brownsville lately,
and after sandry acts of violence, fozcibly en-
tered the Jail and took therefrorn, FIVE men
who were obnoxious to them, and slaughtered
them without mercy. Great Indignation pre-
walls, as there were not Americans sufficient
in the town to protect, and the absence OF the
United States troops placed them completely
at the disposition Of the marauders. The
next news from that place will no doubt be
looked for with much anxiety.
