F'udgci

AaoSG other silly things that are said to the
people by the Bcl-DougIas orators and papers,
it is gravcly urged that in the event of the cleo
ton of Bell, or of Douglas there will be no more
anti-siavery agitation in Congress, and no fur
thcr Black Republican aggressions upon the
rights of the South, either by the disciples of
John Brown, or otherwise. An "cra of good
feeling" is at once to be inaugurated, and the po
litical lamb and lion are hcnccforth amicabIy to
lie down together, and constitute ''happy fam
ily," whose harmonious reposc is never again to
be disturbed by the voice Of discord
Doubtless, those who say such things implic-
lilly believe them, but we imagine that they will
find some difficulty in inoculating many other
persons with their prcpostcrous belief The
same men, in 1856, said the same things. They
told the people that Fillmore alone had strength
enough to defeat Fremont, and that the defeat Of
Fremont would clap an extinguishcr upon the
anti-slavcry party, and silence their clamors for
cvernorc. Well, Fremont pas defeated, though
not by Fillmore, who was able to carry only one
little State. Has Black Repubiicanism, in con-
scioenccb "eeo"e fcSS Po"oiiua vi uhesrVus
than it was in 1856, On the contrary, is it not,
to-day, far stronger than it was then! Is 1t not
now more sanguine Of success than il was four
years ago.
Suppose that Bell or Douglas were placed in
the Presidential chair Would not Black Re
pubIicanism stiIl hare its representatives upon
the floor of Congress, and would not the walls
Of the Capitol continue to rc-ccho with their
philippics against sIaveryi Would ''the ire
prcssibie conhief' be stayed at the point it has
now reached. Would the Northern mind be
Invested Of its belief that slavery is a SIM
Would Northern demagogues cease their at
tempts to obtain control Of the government,
Would human nature undergo magical changes

O the 27th & Aagus Mr.. Douglas, in
the course of his electioneering progress
thrdr5h the pnited State, reached Norfolk,
Va shere heyproceeded ss usual, to make
a speech. N inquiries propounded to him
on those points, he responded, first, that, if
Lincoln should be elected, the South ought to
submit to his election, and, secondly, that he
thought 'the President of the United States
shoald trest all attempts 10 break Up tho
Union BY resistance to its laws, as Old HEX
DRY treated the nufii6efs m 1s32"--ss--sss..
OF course, it was 20 be expected that a
man, whose Northern supporters contend that
he is really better Black Republican than
Lincoln himself, would not recommend dis
solution of the Union in the event of the
success of Lincoln, whom he expects to be
able to defeat in 1854. Neither the Black
nor the Mulatto Republicans can carry out
their schemes, exceptwithin the Union and,
therefore, they go for the preservation of
the Union, under all circumstances. Look
ing forward to the rcvcrsion Of allthe powers
of the general government, Mr.. Douglas will
do nothing. and counsel nothing, that might
tend to weaken or diminish those powers,
and thus impair the yalue of the prize for
which he is contcnding. MAINS
The alfusion to Old Hickory's treatment
of the nullifers in 1882 is manifestly intend
ed as threat, designed to alarm those old
women in pantaloons, who, in the South, are
always overcome with terror whenever any
allusion is made to-the power Of the North.
We are not aware, however, that any of the
nulifiers were either killed or eaten by Old
Hickory in 1889. lie issued, to be sure,
very terrible proclamation but we never
heard that anybody was either hurt or fright
ened by il; whereas we do know that the
revenue laws, of which the nuIlifiers COM
planned, were so modified by Congress, in
1888, as to remove the grounds of complaint
Moreover we have never heard it sug-
gested, that in any contingency, Southern
men contemplated such thing as ''the
breaking up of the Union by resistance to
its laws.' For our part, so long as the Union
exists, and is worth preserving, we are in IA
yor of enforcing the laws, against all opposi-
ton, and of dealing with all traitors accord
ing to the law of treason. II, however, the
time shall ever como when the people of the
Southern States, acting in that sovereign ca
paeity in which they formed the Union, and
under the belief that the Union no longer
promises to secure to them those inestimablc
blessings which they expected to derive
from it, shall determine that they will dis
solve connexion in which they can no long
er remain with honor or with safety, we do
not think it will present case in which our
people can be regarded as offering resistance
to the laws" If in that contingency, any
men are to be punished as traitors, they viii
be those who re-echo such sentiments as
those announced by Mr.. Douglas at Norfolk.

Hon. Henry Dickinson.

OuR distinguished fcllow-townsman, Judge
Dickinson, we observe from our Tennessee
exchanges, is taking an active part in the
canvass in that State in behalf of Breckin-
ridge aud Lane. Judge Dickinson is an old
line Clay Wing, who has never cast a Demo
cratic vote in his life; but he feels the i'm
portance of The Southern people rallying to
the support of Breckenridge and Lane, as
the only hope for defeating Lincoln, and he
has the patriotism TO array himself with the
democracy, regardless of old prejudiccs.
That is the true coarse for the opposition to
pursue at the South, and we have faith that
the "sober second thought" will cause thou
sands who now support Bell, under the be-
lief that he Is the most available man, TO cast
their votes for Breckinridge and Lane.
The prospects in Tennessee Indicate
glorious victory for Breckenridge and Lane
Columbus Democrat
v Judge Dickinson is well known throughout
North Mississippi For many years he was
Vice-Chancellor of the Northern District,
and was exceedingly popular and influential.
When so consistent an anti-Democrat, for the
sake Of harmonizing Southern sentiment,
takes the stump for Democratic nominee,
it is high time that our people should begin
to take heed, lest, in following a different
course, they be giving aid and comfort to
their abolition enemies in the North. A
South united to demand her rights, said Mr.
Lamar at Holly Springs, would be grand
and an efectire spectacle. N r-r--

fall of rain over a great part of California.
1t continued for twenty-four hours. We be-
lieye rain in the summer time has not be-

from Mexico. We have seen its hills and
valleys in the Spring, when they were fresh
and beautiful as well cultivated flower gar

when all Nature seemed shrinking from the
fervid rays of the sum- and vegetation was
burnt and shrivellcd as by sirocco. In the

generally, there is seldom even fall Of dew
