ANOTHER HORRIBLE TRAGEDY IN NEW
YoRK. Some seven weeks ago, in New
York, Felix Sanches, good looking
young Spaniard, married Mary Jane
Cannon, sprightly colored girl, and the
newly married couple have latterly board
ed with the girls parents at No. 154
Sullivan street. Sanches, who is repre-
sented as being an excessively vicious
fellow, without cause became jealous Of
his wife, and day or two since threat
ened to take her life. lie was out late
Wednesday night and the family set up
waiting for his return till y o'clock, A.
NJ. AS Sanches came in, he brought
sword cane with him, and Immediately
afterwards started into the bedroom with
his wife to retire Mrs. Carnon, having
occasion to go into the bedroom where
Sanches and her daughter were, knocked
at the door, but Sanches refused to admit
her, and forbid his wife from doing so.
As last resort Mrs. Cannon pushed in
the door, which she had no sooner done
than Sanches drew the blade from the
sword cane, and rushed furiously upon
her The steel penetrated the feshy
part of the left arm, inAicting a danger
Gus but not fatal wound Mrs. Sanches
came to aid her mother, when the despe-
RADIO turned upon and stabbed her in the
back or right shoulder, causing very
dangerous wound. Carnon then inter-
fered to protect his wife and daughter,
when Sanches again raised the steel and
plunged it with great force into the back
of his father,in The weapon pierced
the heart, and the unoffending Cannon
fell to the floor corpse. Mrs. Sanches
is not expected to survive. Sanches
made his escape and has not yet been
captured.

(Eiu8s-the Constitution.
The two Platforms.

Mr.. Seward and his followers insist upon
the constitutional power and the duty of Con-
gress to prohibit slavery in the Territories OF
the United States.
Mr.. Douglas insists upon the right of the
territorial legislature to do so.
Both of these positions are entirely anita
gonistic to the provisions of the Constitution
of the United States; but it requires little re-
Election to perceive that, so far as the interests
pt Shareholders are concerned, Stewards doc
trine is actually better than that of Douglas.
II the power question rightfully belonged
to Congress, it would then be exercised by
representatives of the whole American people
by men to whom the Legislative authority of
a great nation is delegated who NAV be
iairly presumed to know, feel, and act up to
their obligation as legislators, not for local or
sectional purposes, but for the interest of the
whole Union, Subject to the Constitution of
the United States.''
II, on the other hand, the power is admit
ted to belong to Territory, it may be exer-
cised by population which the distinguished
Governor Troup Of Georgia, described, in de-
bate involving this very question, as "a hetero-
geneous mixture of various tempers, charac-

. The theory Of Mr.. Douglas, on the other
hand, might convert every Territory, before Its
admission into the Union as State, into an
absolute pANDEMoNIUM, by the want OF stead
mess among the Legislators; by the caprices'
changeableness, and turbulence almost Insep-

From the Mississippi Democrat.
Delegates to the Charleston COnven-

1t will be recollected that our State Demo-
cratic Convention which met at jackson on
the 4th July last, passed resolution recon-
mending the various counties in the State to
hold PRIMARY meetings, and appoint dele
gates to assemble at the city Of jackson on
the End Monday of December next to con-
stitute Convention Of the Democratic party
for the purpose of selecting delegates to repre-
sent the State of Mississippi in the National
Convention, to assemble in the city of Charles
ton, South Carolina, in 1860. Several of the
counties have already held primary meetings
aud appointed their delegates. We suppose
that the first day of our next Circuit Court
will be the most proper time for holding a
meeting Of the party in this county, and we
would respectfully call the attention of our
Democratic friends to the matter.
On our first page to-day We copy. from the
Mississippian communication en- the ap-
pointment of delegates to the Charleston Con-
vention, which appeared originally in the
Natchez Free Trader With the Mississippian
and Eastern Clarion, we unhesitatingly en-
dorse the views and recommendations of the
writer, and they will no doubt be adopted

That platform is in strict accordance with the
principles enumerated in the bred Scott decis-

Cincinnati platform, which latter asserts
That every citizen and every section of the
country has right to demand and insist upon
an equality Of rights and privileges and to
complete an ample protection to persons and
property" (slaye property of course included, }
from domestic violence" -

] Gen. 10. Lane, of Oregon.

TIE Memphis Avalancheis out in favor of
thisgallant old representative Of the North
Wet for the nomination Of the Charleston
Convention. The South, we think, has the
rigtt to claim the nomination, if she wishesit
an deems it expedient to do so. Ifa North
en- man is to be selected, the choice could not
MI on a better than Gen. 10. Lane. His name
is proverb for honesty and straightforward
nanliness while his devotion to the Constitu-
ton and the rights of the South has never
been questioned. Little as has been said
about it, there is a strong sentiment in his
favor among those who doubt the chances of
more active aspirants.a He would be entirely
acceptable to the South and his great pop1-
larity in the Northwest would, we verify
believe, render his election of easy ACCOMPLISH
ment. Among other prominent Southern
men, who think him the most available man at
the North, is our Representative, Col. Single
ton. The Col expressed substantially the
same views as the above in his speech on
Monday.-Pauldiag Clarion.

Don't Forget the Election

The elective franchise is the birthright of
every American citizen and the voters of
Mississippi must not forget to exercise it on
Monday next, the End day of October.
The issues of the canvass have been clearly
defined, and we win accept the result of the
election as the authorized verdict of the peo-
pie.
We trust that no Democrat viii remain
away from the polls because there is no formi-
dable opposition It Is of the highest impor-
lance that the sound doctrines embraced in
the resolutions of the Convention which NOM
mated the State ticket. and the policy therein
foreshadOwed, should be endorsed by an over
whelming majority of the voters of the State.
The moral influence of such decision viii be
worth thousand fold more than mere poll
