Correspondence Of The alexandria Gazette.
WHITE PoSr, August YESTERDAY. at
Winchester, there was Il large and enthu-
siastic meeting of the friends of Douglas.
Mr.. Pi,man was called to the Chair, and Mr..
Sherrard appointed Secretary. They seem
ed determined to assert their princi Piles and
maintain the organization of the National
Democratic party as opposed to the Sece-
ders. Politicians may override and crush
out the popular sentiment, for time-but
actually believe that in many parts of the
State, Douglas has the masses with him; and
if his friends stand firm he will get a heavy
vote.
George W. Ward, esq, has been elected
Presiding Justice in the County Court Of
Frederick.
The heat in this region of country has
been very oppressive for several days past:
but we have fine showers and cool nights
and these are great relief, Nj.

SmuDDY. This is an article often spoken
Of in English papers. Perhaps all our read
ers do not know what it IS. nor what they
put upon their back, when they buy Eng
Hsh cloth. a writer in The United States.
Economist says:
TO supply the demand for shoddy, the
whole world is searched for rags: the cutters
of filthy cities hospitals Of every class and
every cline poor houses, and i'll fact every
place where filth poverty and Indebtedness
exists, contribute largelo to this supply"
This being the material from which it is
made, no wonder, therefore, that "although
the sh, ddy trade has added largely to the
wealth of those concerned III it, yet it has its
necessary evils. There is Il sickness known
in DewSbury as the rag fever that ahllcts
those who are directly connected with the
sorting and grinding Of WOODEN rags. They
are easily known by their pale and sickly
looks, aside from the disagreeable smell that
is always with them; and were it not for the
very stringent sanitary regulations that are
enforced in England, the manufacture Of
shoddy would breed plague. 1t requires
but little stretch OF the mag lnation to pic
ture 10 ourselves the amount Of filth, and the
seeds Of disease that must accumulate where
ShOddy is largely manufactured" He says
oil, the cloth made from this material in whole
or in part: 1T is an error, however, to sup
pose that the consumption of shoddy fabrics
in England have increased in the same ratio
that they have been produced in that coun-
try. BY far the largest portion of the cheap
low woollens made in England are exported;
and the United States taxes mare ot Hem
than any otter country. 1t would beabout as
difficult to induce man in the shoddy coun-
try to wear the articles he manufactures, as
it would be to compel an apothecary to swal-
low his own decoctions-they know too much
about it,"

a Duke GIVES llrMBoLpT THE LIs-Ilum-
boIdt'S letters to Earnhagen Won Fuse are
still making stir in Germany, where many
editions have been printed. Many Of its
statements are disputed; and it is related that
the Grand Duke of SAKE Weimar has taken q
very decided method of contradicting story
told about him. The story is this, as given by
Humboldt to Earnhagen: Once, after a gen.
teman, not belonging to the nobility, had
left the company. he (the grand Duke ex-
pressed with great satisfaction the comtorta-
bic feeling, Now, we are amongst ourselves.
Another time, when it was noticed that there
were thirteen at dinner table. he replied,
consolingly, that there were two commoners
amongst them, who did not count for any
thing" This he told Humboldt in French,
because. us he said, these two would not
understand it," When the book arrived in
Weimar, the Grand Duke took Il copy, wrote
on the margin opposite this passage. "TAis
is alie.-karl August and then deposited
it in the town library.

Mr.. BELLS PosITloN.-In the speech r..
Gently delivered at Macon, Georgia, by tie
Hon. Benjamin Hill, Of that State, efui
an argument in behalf of the soundness .!
Mr.. Bell on the question of Southern rights.
and in proof of the duty of all patriotic and
intelligent Southern men to support his elec.
ton. Mr.. Bells platform, he said is the
Constitution, the Union, and the laws. To
know how he interprets the Constitution,
aud what laws he will enforce, we mustgo
to his record If his record fails, then he
and his platform must fail. II his record Is
sound, it gives meaning to his platform and
strength to him. To this record he refers US
in his letter of acceptance, and to the record
let us go. Mr. Hill thus proceeds:
My proposition, and which | shall estab
lish without doubt, is, that John Bell is as
sound az the platform on which Mr.. Breck.
inridge is nominated.
The platform contains three distinct pro.
positions.
|. That Congress has no power to abolish
slavery in the Territories
9. That the Territorial Legislature has no
such power.
3. That, on the contrary, it is the duty Of
the Government to protect property slavery
understood wherever necessary.
These are the three propositions and they
cover the whole ground of power and duty.
About the 9Th day of June. 1850, Mr. Be
ward, OF New York, offered the followings'
an amendment to the Compromise measures
in the Senate.
Neither slavery nor involuntary serS'
tude, otherwise than by conviction for crime
shall ever be allowed in either of said Terri
tories of Utah and New Mexico" Thlss
the WimOt Proviso. John Bell voted no,
and thus endorsed, the first proposition Of
the Breckinridge platform.
On the same day, Mr.. Berrienthat great
man-from Georgia, offered the following
amendment.
But no law shall be passed interfering
with the primary disposal of the soil, nor
establishing or prohibiting African slavery
This was against Squatter Sovereignty
John Bell voted yes, and thus endorsed the
second proposition Of the Breckenridge plat
form.
On the 9th of May, of the same year, Mr.
Pratt, of Maryland, and Mr.. Davis, of Mis-.
sissipp. agreed upon, and Mr.. Davis offered
Tue lOllON NY dIueuuHeuI 10 tue saulc oi't
Provided, that nothing herein contained
shall be construed so as to prevent said Ter
ritorial Legislature from passing such laws
as may be necessary for the protection OF the
rights of property Of every kind which may
have been or may be hereafter, conformablys
to the Constitution and laws of the unitea
States, held in, or introduced into said Ter
ritory."
Mr.. Davis Also prefaced this proviso with
some remarks, declaring his object to be 10
assert the duty of the Government to protect
slavery.
On this proviso Mr.. Bell voted yes, thus
asserting, the duty of protection, when ne
cessary, in the very language ofthe Breck'n'
ridge platform.
For Mr.. Davis's proviso, see Congresslopa,,!

the votes, see same book, page ll34. There,

John Bells record shows that he holds
that the Constitution and the Laws secure
to the Southern States their rights in rela-
ton to slavery; that the Territories are the
common property Of the United States, and
that all citizens in them are to be protected
in the holding of their property of all kinds,
as long as they are Territories and that he
repudiates squatter sovereignty and Wilmot
proyisoes.

Hon. james l.. Orr, of South Carolina,
takes the following melancholy view OF the
future Lincoln and Hamlin, the BLACK
Republican nominees, will be elected IN NO
vember next, and the South will then decide
the great question whether they will submit
to the domination of Black Republican rule"
But, he says. 81 should emphatcally repro
bate and repudiate any scheme having for
its object the separate secession of South
Carolina. If Georgia, Alabama, and Mis-
sissippl aIone-giving Us portion OF the
Atlantic and Gulf coasts-would unite with
this state in common secession upon the
election of a Black Republican, would give
my assent to the policy He will only
consent to ego off, if four States unite in
the movement. Georgia is one of them.
Georgia is conservative. She will wait and
