The Administration Resources.

AIr. Miller, one of the proprietors of the
Statesman, was Postmaster at Columbus,
Ohio. He was removed for supporting Doug
las, and Dir. Dawson appointed to take his
place. Dawson, Neil and Sparrow are
conlmittee to raise funds to conduct the cam
paign on the part of the Breckinridgers-
They levy on country postmasters for specific
sums, but the postmasters all go for Douglas,
and instead of remitting the amounts they
slap upon the circulars their retort, and send
to the Statesman for publication. The Ad-
ministration is busily engaged in taking off
heads, but the trouble is to get Breckenridge
men to take the places. The Statesman pub.
fishes some of the supplies to the Dawson
circular:
Every mail brings us more or less of the
bogus circulars of John Dawson 4 Co.. to
the postmasters of Ohio The circular is
printed in script type, with a blank before
"dotlars" to be filled up here at head quar-
ters before the circular is sent off. We have
them filled with sums from five to fifty dol
lars, the whole amount assessed, as we have
before said, being about $27 600. To the
credit of the postmasters of Ohio, none have
yet responded and RENTED the amount de
manded, so far as We can learn. That is
right. These men are responsible to nobody
and if they got any funds would use them
either directly or indirectly to promote the
cause of Lincoln and Hamlin. We give
few of the amusing endorsements.
One writes in red ink across the circular
thus:
dawson and Neil and their Treasurer
may go to -, and | will go for Douglas
and my country"
Another saws;
81 have been informed that whatever
money is obtained is to Ge used to re mburse
johnson Co., for the amount they are mi
nus in supporting the Cleveland Democrat
mary red" from me"
third says:
"lf either one or all of these men were 10
make this demand of me personally, at my
Office, | would show them the hole the car
penter made, and apply my boot to their
rear"
a fourth says
Sparrow is too intimate with Chase for
me | would as leave give money to the
Wide Awakes, and expect it to be applied
for the benefit of the Democracy, as TO him. ="
A fifth speaks
"If Dawson, Neil and Sparrow are not dis
honest, they are fit subjects for the Luuatic
Asylum. Their effort is the effort of dis
honest men or lunatics, and can have no aid
from me-"
AS we have before said the history of Ohio
politics has never furnished anything like the
scandalous circular Of Dawson, Neil and
Sparrow, which is viewed with disgust by
honorable men of all parties. The Democra-
cy of course have nothing to do with it, and
are in no wise responsible for the action Of
these men.

Breckenridge a Straight out Disunionist,


We call the particular attention of all
lovers of the Union to the following from the
Cincinnati Enquirer:
"Breckinridges acceptance of the nomina-
tion of the Disunion Richmond Convention
has at last seen the light The Eutaw Gala,
bama) Independent Observer, of August Sd.
says: John Erwin, President of the Rich
mond Convention, has handed us the follow
ing letter from J. c. Breckenridge, accepting
determination of that Convention:
LEXINGTON, July 26, 1860.
DEAR SIR: In answer to your letter of the 2Gtb
ult., containing official information of nv non1i.
nation for the Presidency of the United States
by the Democratic Convention assembled at Rich
mond, have to say that | accept the nomination
and shall strive TO merit the confidence ifnplied by
the action of the Convention
trust that a full discussion of exstin issucs
will result in establishing the Constitution ard
union ofthe States upon immovable foundations.
With good Wishes remain your friend.
JoHN c. BREcKINRIDGE.
Hon. John Erwin, President of the Richmond
pemQeratic Convention Greensborough. Ala.
He accepts and hopes to merit the conf
dence of the disunionists How can that be
done except by coming up to their standard e?
And he is pleased to style the Disunion Con-
venton democratic" But that is probably
no worse than the boilers calling themselves
the National Democracy. If nothing else
should invoke the people to rebuke Mr..
Breckenridge by an overwhelming defeat, this
acceptance of the nomination of the Dis
union Richmond Convention should stir them
up as if red hot Goals were upon their backs.
The acceptance is great insult to the patr-
otism of the country, as well as to the Demo.
cratic party. As to his trust "lhat full dis
cussion of the existing issues will result in
establishing the Constitution and union of the
States upon immoyabe foundations " it means
simply this: "l trust that may be elected
II am, our ultra Southern slave code views
will have received the sanction of the Amer
lean people, and all will then be well with
us. You will not go out of the Union, for
there will be no necessity for it, And we
shall, further, be on firm basis for making
further demands"
Mr.. Byeckin:idge is getting along very
rapidly for young man, considering the
views he held and the position he occupied
to the Democratic party In 1856.
To have accepted the nomination Of the
Richmond Convention is enough to damn to
eternal death any man within the limits Of
the American Union. The convention of Sc
ceders at Baltimore was bad enough God
knows, but the Richmond Convention was
the cap-sheaf of treason and disunion.

AN OyERsEER KILLS -FOUR NEGROEs.-The
Richmond (Na.,) Disratch has the following /:
Samuel lIairston, a wealthy farmer in Hal.
flax county, near Danyille, has an overseer
on one of his plantations who is "A strict dis
ciplinarian, and man Of great tirmness.-
The other day, while the overseer was sitting
in his office, six stout negro fellows called
upon him, and after informing him that q
party of negroes in the woods near by was
preparing for an insurrecton, invited him to
90 with them and witness the plan of opera
rations. Not suspccting that they had any
design upon him, but being anxious to cap
ture the ringleaders of the rebels if he could
see them, he stepped into another room,
armed himself with FIVE shooter, and then
started off with the assassins, they not know
ing that he was fully prepared for any emer.
gency. The negroes led the way until get
ting into the forest some distance, when they
suddenly stopped near a newly dug pit,
when the spokesman confronted him, and,
pointing to the hole, said to him: "Thcre,
you ID son of a b-h, is your grave. You
have but fifteen minutes to make your peace
with God, or to land in hell )" Quick as
thought, the overseer drew his Colts revol-
YER, shot four of the rutlians dead at his feet,
and wounded the fifth one in the abdomen,
seeing which the sixth man took to his heels
through the woods and escaped.

Is TIE New Y York Times of recent date says ::
The fact is the seceeders begin to realize that
they have made a mistake They have seri-
ously underated the attachment of the South
ern people to the Federal Union. They have
been tolerated so long in their loud talk upon
the subject that they believed their cQnstitu-
ents rife for the consumation of their schemes.
Yancey thought the cotton States could be
"precipitAted into a revolution" whenever
the plans of the leaders should be complete,
and the position of political parties should
afford a favorable opportunity for the expert
ment. If he had kept his thoughts to him
self, and continued to plot in secret, he might
possibly have continued to be of this opinion.
But his famous Slaughter letter opened the
eyes of the masses whom he hoped to make
his tools, and very prompt and decisive re-
action at once set in. That declaration fur
nished the key to the movements of the ultra
pro slavery wing of the Democratic party
1t exposed the motive which lay at the bot
tom of their incessent demands upon their
Northern brethren. 1t showed the real
meaning of the secession at Charleston, and
of the sectional nomination at Baltimore
The seceders are likely to be in minority in
nearly all the Southern States"

TIE AIM OF TIE REPUBLICAN PAnrY.-The
Address of the Maryland Republicans, thus
states the aim of their party;
"The great question to be settled in the

How they construe the Chicago platform
in reference to this subject, may be easily in.

address:
believing, with the founders Of the Re
public, that Congress has the power to make
all needlul laws and regulations respecting
the Territory belonging to the United States,
and that slavery should be confined to the
States in which it now exits, we accept tie
proposition Of the Chicago ConUentjon that
Freedom is the normal condition of the Ter

The Peril of the Southern Excursionists.

The last Legislature Of Michigan enacted a
law which, among other things. provides that
every person who shall bring anv nero
mnlatto, or other person Of color into the
state, claiming him or her as slave, snail
he punished by imprisonment in the State
prison not more than ten years or by fine not
exceeding one thousand dollars
On Monday there arrived in this CITY, bv
Mlchlgan Central Railroad from Chicago, 4
party OF eNcursionists from four or five Of
the southern States. numbering some three
hundred persons, who had been invited bv
several railroad lines. including the Michigan
Central, to pass over their roads.
We are not aware how many of these cx
cursionists brought along with them their
negro servants, nor how many RETAINED from
bringing them along because Of their know
ledge Of the existence of this law in Michigan
such as did bring them along made them
selves thereby ameanable to the law.
They, however, passed out Of the State
without any Of them having been subjected
to arrest
They did not, however, pass out of the
state without having been subjected to insult
nor without having been reminded Of the
existence Of a law which pronomces the acts
OF some of them criminal, and which pro-
yides Infamous punishment for such acts.
a correspondent in our yesterdays issue
describes the insults which were offered TO
them while crossing the river on their way
eastward
At Marshall, on the morning Of the day on
which they were expected to pass over the
Central road, a handbill was circulated
through the town in the following words:
"REPUDLIcANs, TO THE RESCUE Two hun
dred Southern Shareholders, with their slaves,
will pass through our city this (Mondav)
afternoon, and will dine at the depot. This
is tlagrant VIOLATION OF THE LAWS of this
State, approved February 18th, 1859, which
provides as follows:
Every person who shall bri"g any negro,
mulatto, or other person Of color into the
State, claiming him or her as a slave, shall
be punished by imprisonment in the State
prison not more than ten years, or 10y fine

Richmond Convention, to the exclusion of a
more moderate feeling which some members
were disposed to cultivate That Convention
formally nominated Breckinride and Lane,
and it is even claimed that it was upon their
suggestion that these gentlemen were nomi-

about 3j3 bushels ever done in this State by

NEGRO TEsTIMoNy-An interesting caes,
says the Sacramento Democrat, was before
the Supreme Court on Saturday last, in the
shape of the introduction Of negro testimony
against a white man. Some few weeks since
a white man named Howard was tried in
onr Court of Sessions on the charge of grand
larceny, upon the evidence of negro named
Grubbs. lie was sentenced to two years
imprisonment in the States prison, when
through his counsel, J. w. CofFroth, Esq he
took an appeal to the Supreme Court The
case was argued on Saturday last before
Chief Justice Field and Justice Cope, by Mr.
Cod'roth for the prisoner and District Attor-
ney Cole for the State Mr. ColIroth CON
tended that under the statutes Of our State,
the decisions Of our Supreme and the Federal
Courts, a negro had no status in our Courts
against white people, and that hence the
Court below erred in receiving the evidence
Mr.. Cole, on the contrary, held that as the
black was the injured party, he was compe-
tent to testify. No decision was given in the
case, but it viii be looked for with interest
by many of our citizens.
