JACKSON--DOUGLAS.

Douglas in his speech is reported
to have said:
81 wish to God we had General
jackson at this day, in order that
he might grappie with Northern Abo-
litioDism and Southern Secessionism,
trample them under foot and bury
both 10 common grave"
Many would join in the aspiration
who would not accord to the stump
candidate for the Presidency the
position he evidently arrogates to
himself. Douglas following in the
footsteps Of Jackson mark the con-
trast--as great as though they be-
long 10 different worlds! The merits
and capabilities Of such man as An

OF homer, sensitive of reputation,--
could never had effect under such q
system Of political tactics as has been
introduced by Douglas. BE never
would have intrigued nor bullied
himself into nomination, nor ira.
versed the country from Daa to
Beer-Shebe, after it was obtained,
like oae beside himself, making
speeches in his own behalf. Jack
son was no dsmagogue, but patriot
and an honest man who. loved his
country aud respected himself. The
following resignation was sent to the
Legislature of Tennessee by General
Jackson after his nomination for the
Presidency in 1925. Contrast it
with the sentiments and course of
Douglas:
aMy name having bssn before the
natien for the office of chief magis-
trate during the time ] served as
your Senator, placed me in situa-
ton truly delicate; but, delicate as it
was, my friends did not. and my
enemies csnnet. charge me with de-
seending from the Independent ground
then occupied, with degrading any
trust reposed in me BY intriguing for
the Presidential chair. As by res
olution of your body. you have
thought proper again TO present my
name to- tho American people. |
must entreat to be excused from any
further service in the Senate, and
suggest, ia conclusion, that it is due to
myself to practice upon the maxim
recommended to others; andhence feel
constrained to retire from q situation
where temptation may exist, and
suspicious arise, of the exercise OF
an influence tending to my own az
grandizement. Accept, &c, &c,
AND. JACKSON.
The moral is obvious.

All Cause Removed.

1t has long been the habit Of
the opposition to the democracy to
charge that northern democrats were
freesoilers, and that We as southern
men were in union With men who
we're abolitionists and that Douglas
ism was short cut to the worst
ends of black republicanism. All
ground for such charges have been
removed. IF there was a freesoil
element in the democratic party it
is now entirely clear of it. If the
party embraced men who entertained
abolition sentiments, they are not
COW in fellowship with US. They have
gone elsewhere. The little squatter
sovereign, Stephen A. Douglas,is not
our candidate for the presidency
We have for our standard bearer a
truly national man who stands above
the charge Of abolitionism. and dis
union. ln the language OF the Mem
,phis .Acalanche, if the democratic
party contaiBed a freesoil element it
has been thoroughly purged from it.

Another Lie Stepped

Ous Of the principal objects Of at.
tack from Douglas sheets, since the
Indians election, has been Senator
Jesse D. Bright, Of Indiana. They
have charged that Senator B. voted
the Black Republican ticket, and the
Cincinnati Enquirer even stated that
its edi.er was authorized to state by
a gentleman who saw Mr.. Bright
ticket, that he voted for Black Re.
publicans, with enc exception. Mr..
B. settles the whole matter in a
card dated "Jelfarsoavills, Oct. %,
1860" from which We extract the
fellowing:-
"The gentleman Of veracity.s who
told the editor OF the Enquirer that
he "saw my ticket" that be knows
how voted, and that ! voted for
MIR. Lane, or any other Republican
candidate On the State ticket, is liar
and q slanderer; and / apply the same
language to certain editors of Doug
las newspapers, who have reiterated
this charge aud vouched for its truth.

Non-Intercourse.

The merchants and other citizens of Rome,
Georgia, adopted the following preamble and
resolutions at public meeting on the 10th in
slant.
WHEREAS, In the judgment of this meeting,
the period has arrived when the Southern
States of this Union should be commercially
independent; and whereas, we believe it to be
the duty Of the people of the South, to do at
all times, and in every practicable manner all
in their power TO encourage, advance and
promote Southern manufactures and direct
importations to Southern ports. Therefore,
be it
Reso7Ued, 1st That the Merchants and Me-
ehanics of this city and county, be requested
and earnestly recommended, to patronize
Southern markets, Southern Manufactures
and Direct Importations to Southern ports, to
the exclusion of all others
Resolved, 2d. That in the purchase Of our
dry goods, groceries, hardware and other
merchandise, we will support and sustain those
who comply with the foregoing resolutions.
RESOLVED, 3d. That while we have an abid-
ing confidence in the patriotism and fidelity of
some of our Northern friends, yet duty to the
South requires that we should stand to and
abide by the foregoing resolutions until the
Northern States demonstrate at the ballot
box their fidelity to the Constitution and the
laws by driving from our national counsels the
leaders of that demoniac crew known as the
Black Republican party. and by repeating all
their local laws which initiate against the
Constitution and our common country.

A Louisiana Congressman on Douglas.

Hon Thomas Green Davidson, member
of Congress from Louisiana, in recent pub
lshed letter, gives some unanswerable reasons
why Douglas cannot be supported by the De-
mocracy for the Presidency-among others the
following:
In addition TO these considerations there are
others equally weighty on the same side Of
the scale. Judge Douglass avowed opinions
are in direct hostility to the Constitutional
rights Of the South. He holds that the Ter
ritorial Legislatures established by Congress
have the power either to prohibit the emigTa-
tion of stakeholder into new Territory
with his slaves, or take them away from him
after he goes there. We thought we had
achieved great victory when the right to our
property in the Territories was declared by
Congress and the Supreme Court to be sacred
and inviolable under the Constitution. But
| Judge Douglas has been doing all he could,
for some time past, to place us In a condition
| far worse than we were at the beginning. 1t
| is true that, as he has changed his opinions
several times already, he might change them
again; but have yet seen no sure sign Of his
repentance Within the last year he has de-
clared bis resolution not to accept the Charles
! ION HOullHAttol, uulCSS pAnefoi IA WI
subject was adopted, II, therefore, we take
the man, we must not only take him with his
principles unchanged, but we must incorpor-
ate those principles into our political creed,
| and agree to surrender our Constitutional
rights into the hands of our enemies.
He further adds:@
| In further evidence of the utter unavailable
! jty of Mr. d., may say that, Of the thirty
| seven United States Democratic Senators be-
| sides himself, Mr. Pugh, Of Ohio, is the only
man who has avowed preference for him or
| desire for his nomination, while the other
thirty-six are either opposed to his nomina-
ton and would support him merely as q
choice of evils, or, if they desire his nomina-
ton will not avow the preference out Of res
| pect for the opposition Of their States TO him.
| So in the House Of Representatives, do not
know half a dozen Southern men who prefer
Mr.. DIS nomination, or who regard him as the
choice Of their constituents. Can it be possi-
bic that one who is antagonized in the Senate
| by all his Democratic peers, save one, and by
! all the Southern Representatives in Congress,
! save two or three is an available candidate for
| the Presidency ? Can it be possible that il
will be iudicious or discreet on the part OF the
| Charleston Convention to force Mr.. DIS NOM
| ination on the South against the almost unan-
4 imous opposition of her Senators and Repre-
sentatiyes, or on the Northern Democracy
/ against the almost unanimous opposition Of
their Representatives in the United States
Senate

General Lane on the Slavery Question

General Joseph Lane, of Oregon, in brief
speech in the Senate, disposed of the whole
territorial question in an admirable way for
there is not bit Of circumlocution, or con-
cealment, or dodgng in his remarks from the
beginning to the end He denied there was
any power given to Congress either to prohibit
slavery or to abolish slavery, and hence it
could not confer such power on territory {;
and hence there was not power III a Territorial
Legislature either to establish slavery or to
prohibItit. His words are -
"My proposition is, that Congress has no
power over the question of slavery; that they
cannot under the Constitution, establish it in
a Territory or prohibitit and that a legisla-
tive assembly in Territory, deriving its power
from Congress, cannot do what Congress itself
cannot do"
The Post gives additional extracts, and adds:
That's the spirit that will sweep the country
in November for the Charleston nominee. be
he who he may and this only can save the
country from the curse of the triumph of an
Unconstitutional party. The thaEks ol
every Democrat are due to Gen. Lane for this
truly patriotic speech.

THE IRRErREssIBLE CONFLICT IN AEKAN-
sAs-Negroes Lacited to LjH their Oterseer' By
an Ajoljtionjst-Arrest Of tie Hurdefers--
We yesterlay, from reliable source, learned
the particulars of tragedy enacted IN Ash
ley county, Arkansas, which has created a
great excitement in that locality. Jasper
Murray, overseer of Samuel NJ. Garter, of
Georgia, who has recently settled plantation
in Arkansas was killed by the negroes on the
place few days since. Inquiries instituted
developed the fact that the crime was commit
ted at the instigation of an Abolitionist nam
ed Sneed, who promised the negroes that if
they would kill the overseer and get his mo-
ney, he would take them to a free State. Five
of the negroes and the white man were arrest
ed, and are in jail at Hamburg, Ashley coun-
ty. As before stated the most intense excite
ment prevails in the neighborhood, and it
would not be surprising ii Snced met his de-
serts in a most summary manner.-1Hemphis

The Infamous Combination at Wash
ington.

Under this caption we exposed in recent
article, the combination of Black Republicans
and Know Nothings, in the organization
ton of the House, and appealed to the coun-
try to condemn the conspirators to the inamy
which they have so richly merted. The
Richmond Ladet, whose editor was a personal
witness to the facts related, corroborates our
statement and adds another chapter, which is
important to be known, Says that journal:
The Mississippian states the facts correctly.
and deduces therefrom the unavoidable CON
cTusion that an unholy combination has been
formed between Southern Opposition1sts and
the Northern Black Republicans for the over
throw Of the Democratic party. We witness
Cd the most important and exciting scenes Of
the contest for Speaker Of the House When
the Democrats Of the House, almost TO man.
came over to Mr. Smith, Of North Carolina,
and elefe{ Him, three Of his pretended friends
of the American party changed their votes
and dis-eected him We watched the move
ments Of the coalitionists in the House. on
that occasion, and we could come to no other
conclusion than that the election of an Aboli-
ton Speaker had been qrraR7cR between the
Republicans and portion of the South Amer
leans. Some Of the latter, no doubt, desired
the election of Smith, but others Of them, we
believed then, as we believe now, would have
bo'ted had it been necessary to his defeat. The
statement of the MissiSsppian is correct as
far as it goes; but it is not complete history
of theparties in relation to the organization of
the House. The election of Printer is not
yet consummated, but the impression is that
it will be very soon, Ggreerb}y to prcgious ar
raaqemeH. On several ballots the Black Re-
publican candidate would have been defeated
by Glossbrenner, 4 conservative Democrat
had not Etheridge and Stokes, Of Tennessee,
(Americans,) thrown away their votes.

Keeping up Agitation.

Mr. Morse, a Black Republican Representa-

following resolution in the House
Rcso7ce7, That the President of the United
States be requested to communicate to this
House copies of communications which have
been received from the British Government, or
from any officer thereof. on the subject of the
African slave trade, since the 2Sth day OF
February, 1858, and copies of all correspon-
dence which has taken place between said
Government and the Government Of the
United States on the subject OF SAID trade
This resolution was objected to under the
rules, which only postpones it..
ResolceF, That the Committee on Commerce
be directed to inquire into the expediency Of
prohibiting by law American vessels from en-
gaging in the cody trade, or from transporting
apprentices, so called, to the West Indies, or
other parts Of the world.
The latter was referred to the Committee
on Commerce.

What's in a Name.


a person by the name of Frederick South

islature to allow him and his family to change

The following is the bill upon which the
Legislature are acting
WHEREAS, The acts Of late John Brown,
