Thx able work has been pronounced by compyent judges a most complete pro- slavery textbook. It is edited by Prof. Elllo@ of Mississippi, and contains the able productions of Christy, Bledsoe, strinAelow, Chancellor Harper Hon. J. H. Hammond, Dr. Cartwright and the learn ed editor on the various bearings and rela- tlons Of slavery. Such work is needed and should be extensively read by the south ern people, There is no subject embraced in the entire scope of political economy, which so fully commands our attention or deserves our investigation as the social. moral and economical aspects of the sla- very question. No one not fully acquaint- ed with this great political southern idea, can legislate intelligibly and effectuallv for the South or comprehend her wants and requirements. Every politician should possess a copy of Prof Elliotts work and study it. Every intelligent citizen should read It, for fanatieism has its birth in igno- rance' and lives, vampire-like, on the ere
 dullty of the thoughtless and unreAecting. The strong array of facts, the manly argu. mentS and pro-slavery logic presented and enforced in the work under consideration
 renders 1t wall of brass around our instj. tntions' more inyincible than vigilance committees" and far more potent than mandln fustain and sentimental appeals to tue io'efS of the G'aioa. Intelligence, not a''n"s'gmsn' arguments not sophistry, facts not rhetoric, these are what tn, Soutb

Ay A correspondent of the Cincinnat; Commercial thus describes the scene durino Mr. Breckinrdge's s last speech ;: "Tho dav opened ausplciously. The city of Lexing- ton was already full of strangers at the break of day, when the rattling drum and l shfieky hie announced the arrival of the hrst rustic delegation. At ' o'clock all the great avenues of approach to the city and to Ashland were thronged with vast cayal cades of footmen, horsemen and planters with their families, in endless procession
 At half past 10 o'clock the splendid grove at Ashland swarmed with bold Kentuck kians ana Kentucky women, and at II o'clock mass of eight or ten thousand people were packed in serried ranks about the sneak CTS stand. Tremendous efforts were made bty stalwart marshals>to keep them at bav
 but men nor women would obey, so eager were they to catch the faintest echo from the llps Of the petted young Senator from Kentucky Mr. Breckinridge suddenly ap- peared upon the platform at twenty minu- tes before twelve, and was received with tomatoes of applause. Men yelled like lunatlcs, and seemed ready to deyour him with earesses, but MT. B. acceptedthe splen- did ovation With an easy dignity and com placency of manner which seemed to ac- knowledge It as matter of course. Isbonld say the people really lore this man. He commenced his speech soon after his arri
 val protesting that he was suffering from physical intlrmlty. He seemed really i'll. Ills conntenance was haggard, and for some tune his gesticulation was wavering and uncertain, Three times he called upon friends to read docuiKents from which he wished to quote, but he continued two hours and nifty minutes. when he sank into A chair, apparently exhausted. The heat was enough, of itself, to overcome an ordinary man in fine health. So much for condition. hls manner of speaking was that of an earnest, sincere, determined man. He eyi dently realized the responsibilities of his 1 position. But he met the issue bravelv. HIS language was that of gentleman de- hounclng the ungenerous and undignifed conduct of an opponent. In his exhibition of the inconsistency of Douglas, as shown by his memorable speech in Congress, that no power on earth could ex, lde slavery from the territories, if the supreme court declded 1t constitutional t0 take it there , and his 'unfriendly legislation speech at treeport, he manifestly thought he had got the Little Giant The crowd thoucbt so too' and made the welkin ring again with mad shouts of triumph Throughout the delivery of the speech the crowd indulged Tn extravagant demonstrations of admira <. ton and affection for the speaker, and some were considerably more profane than ele. gant. There was an almost constant echo ot hurrah, my John; Ego it, my major; ,
 hurlah, my Breckinridge;' the greatest man in the world Here the train started. and my letter stopped"

JAMES M. DAVIDSON KILLED. We were paihed to learn yesterday that Jas. M. Da- VidSon, so well known in this and some of the adjoining States as the Irish orator, was shot in Fayetteville on Saturday night last by man named James Carty. and died from the wounds the next day. The mar. ticuiars' as we learned them, were about as follows: There had been previous diff cnlty between Carty and Davidson. David son on his return to Fayetteville on Saturday night, learned that Carty had been repeat inS the charges out of which the previous dltheulty had grown, and meeting Cartv in aarug store about 10 o'clock that night, ask ed him II he had repeated his former insinua- tlons. Carty replied afirmatvely, when Davidson gave him the d--n lie. Carty drew his pistol and shot him; the ball strilS- Ing near the center of the chin and ranged around the left .jawbone and lodged near the back of the head. The force of this shot threw his head to the right, and Carty shooting again, the second ball passing through his jaw. Cary again shot him, the ball entering above the nipple and com ing out at the back. Carty made his es- cape Davidson fingered about twelve hours. These are the facts as they have reached us. They may be inaccurate in some respects.
 Mir. Davidson was a fine scholar and gentleman of tho highest literary attain ments. He was regarded as one of the most eloquent men in the South He was an lrishman by birth, but has been for many years citizen of the United States. He was on the Scott electoral ticket in 1852, and up to 1855, was an enthusiastic whig Since that time he has been warm advocate of democratic principles. He was member of the legislature in the session ol looI-'5o from the counties of Giles, Marshall and Lincoln. He came to Nash Vile on last Thursday evening by invita- ton ot hls friends in this city, to address them that night on the political issues of thls canvass. After Gov. Johnson had spoken, he appeared upon the stand and excused himself from speaking after so no- ble an effort. He promised that he would return and speak next Thursday night lie left the city on Saturday morning for hls home at Fayetteville. He was on the tram that was trown from the track, and was ln. the front passenger car and on that slde of It which was torn literally into splinters. He was buried beneath the ruins, but miracuously escaped with scarce scratch upon his person. Upon being }al.I4all =tald= =ihaI= I4l=aaa hat an Iuish1aan could have thus escaped, he replied: "Na- poleon's doctrine was no man can die until his time comes.

InE DIsUNIoN UNION CAxprpArE.-.John Dell would have been considered quite paradoxlcal Union candidate in 1850. MT.
