a. The Memphis Avalaneae consideI

Er The Memphis Avalanche considers
DoUGLAs a Hdead cock in the pitt so far
as the Charleston nomination is concerned;
vet il cannot let him rest in peace. It is con-
stantIy bringing to bear upon him all the Of
fensive and defensive weapons known to polii-
ical warfare. Not content with. Strengthening
him to-day, stripping him of his hide, quar-
tering his body. aad hanging the pieces up TO
dry, it must repeat the bloody work to-nor-
row, and the next day, aud the day after
that, and on, until the Charleston Convention
has done It's work. Then, If DOUGLAS be the
nominee. it will be reduced to the sad neces-
sity of supporting him, or separating from its
party; but if some other should be the nemi-
nee, the tune must still be changed, and eve
rythiug done TO coucifiate him, and his
friends, and induce them to saEe the party,
for the very existence of the party is held by
him in the -hoIlow of his hand-n
In the 4Aralanehe of the 9TH, we find a sort
of contrast of the WiImot Proviso and Squat
ter Sovereignty. We quote an extract
For thirteen wears the Democracy have
been warning upon The Wilmot Proviso. and
having sstrangled that Ubiquitous monster, a
measure still more odiOns must not be substi-
tuted In its stead. There is not the toss of a
copper's difference between the Wilmot Pro-
Woo and Squatter Sovereignty, for by the
former the South was to be kept out OF the
territorial domain by direct Congressional
Inference: by the latter the same end is to
be reached quite as effectually by indirect or
territorial action or noh-action, may be
most convenient, or as the exigencies of each
case may demand. By the one, We are to be
throttled and robbed-by the other. chloro-
formed and swindled. OF the two methods
we prefer the former. There Is, at least, an
air of ruffian manliness about it which con-
trasts favOrably with the pettifog2ing and
demagogueism of the new cOntrivancs. We
have more respect for the bold murderer who
shows his dagger and proclaims his purpos,s Q,
than for the sneaking assassin who fortunes
and kills while pretending to save. We have
more respect for the rObber who openly pro
claims that plumber is his trade, than for the
rogue who, under the garb of friendship.
steals that which he pretends TO be guarding
and defending. BeelZebub before Judas for
ever.
This may be called loud talking, but is it
earnest? II earnest, can the AUaianche do
what the Union and American has pledged it
self to do, support DOUGLAS for the Presiden-
cy should be be nominated at Charleston? We
confess we do not see how the AuaLdnehe can
do SO consistently ,lor cOnscientiOusly. but we
have heretofore found democratic consciences
sufficiently plastic, in similar exIremities,
and that of our Memphis contemporary may
be moulded into a DOUGLAS organ-a disso-
nant one, perhaps, but still DOUGLAS organ.
We must confess. too, that this is a thing we
do not desire to see. A democratic press in
Tennessee that dares TO rebel, when rebellion
is a virtue, though it may not pay, would be
sight worth seeing.

Baltimore Mayoralty Election.

The Reformers, as they call themselves. in
Baltimore, have nominated Mr.. Brown Ms
their candidate for the Mayoralty, and 1t is
thought that both wings Of the Democracy
will unite on him, yet there lisa good deal OF
dissatisfaction in the Democratic ranks at
this indication of the leaders. The rank and
file want csndidats of their own party, and
they seem disposed to ignore the doings Of
those who have heretofore controlled thsm
and bring out simon pure Democrat; The
Gully difficulty In tho way Is the late hour'ss
which the movement is being made.
The Americans have nominated Samuel
Hines; this gentleman was at one time
Sheriff Of tho city and proved himself an en-
srgetic officer; he is a mechanics halter.
aud from our personal knowledge Of the
man, il elected we think he will mako 6rst
rate officer. We throw up our bat for Sam
Hines

Foreign Prescription.

The Bulletin is harping upon the proscrip'
tion of foreigners, and quotes from the laws
Of Massachusetts, to Brighten, We suppose,
our foreign born citizens into a support OF
Breckinridge. While 1t quotes Massachu-
seits law as requiring citizenship Of two
years before the naturalized foreigner Is per-
mi.ted to vote, why does 1t not also quote
South Carolina law, to show that that never
changing Democratic State has also law
requiring a two years residence before the
naturalized citizen can exercise the elective
franchise We are certain our foreign born
citizens will no more approve of such law
whom it is passed by Democratic State, than
when it is approved by . Massachusetts
Governor.
But this thing comes, We think, with bad
grace from Breckenridge Journal, for it
should be borne in mind that Mr.. Breckn-
ridge himself has svowed tho strongest kind
Of Know nothing doctrine We quote from
speech delivered by him at Cynthiana,
Kentucky, on the 7th Of April, 1855, and
reported in the Washington Union OF the
9th of May, 1865: 1t was natural for
man to prefer those Of his own religious faith
in voting, and he himself would vote for one
of his own way Of thinking in religion rather
than for another. all things being equal, just
As he would vote for a native in preference
to foreign born citizen, other things being
equal"
We call that pretty strong Know-nothing-
ism. But as our ncighbor Of the Bulletin
would like to make it appear that his party
are such remarkable friends OF tho foreigner,
let us hear what an Indiana Democrat says
about our industrious and quiet Germans.
Here it Is: "Cowardly fugtives from the
battle fields of Europe--men who, with the
aripes Of Frederick and Francis Joseph
fresh upon their backs, seem to be hustled 70
the shores of free America only for the pur-
pose of bassly and traltorously lending their
efforts to break up and destroy the free 60
vernmont that generously protects them from
the knoM and the lash Of their former mas
tiers and tyranta."
That's the way in which the Democracy
talk Of the foreigner when they can no longer
use him to serve their purposes. As soon az
he begins to think for himself, and to assert
his manhood, they brand him ar base and
traitorous, vile and contemplate. Such
friends our German fcllow-c!tizens should
spurn. Tho Bulletin would do well, there
fore. to keep silence on tho subject Of Know
nothinsism.

Mr.. DOUGLAS in his late speech at
Providence Rhode Island. thus proclaim
ed his agency in the repeal of the Mis-
souri, compromise:
"My friend over there--friend or en-
envy. as the case may be--wants to know
something about the Missouri Compro-
mise. CHEERS have no: the slight
est objection to telling him all that he de-
sires to know upon that question /
brought in tho bill to repeal the restric-
ton"
In speech which the same gentleman
delivered at Springfield, Illinois. eleven
years ago-in 1849-he spoke as follows
of the Missouri Compromise: t..
THE Missouri Compromise had its
origin in the hearts of all patriotic men
who desired to preserve and perpetuate
the blessings Of our glorious Union-an
0 igiu akin TO that of the Constitution Of
the United States, conceived in the same
spirit of fraternal affection, and calcula-
ted to remove forever the only danger
which seemed to threaten, at some dis
tant day, to saver the social bond o. I'm
ion All the evidence of public opinion
at that day seemed to indicate that this
compromise had become canonized in the
hearts of the American people as sa-
cred thing, which no ruthless han'
would ever be reckless enough to dis
turb "
And now Mr.. Douglas Gays that he
was the chief instrument in the repeal Of
a measure which h, regarded as having
Its origin in the hearts of all patriotic
men who desired to preserve and per-
petuate the blessing of our glorioug I'm
ion" Is he not political vandal of the
worst kind?
