CHOICEEXTRACTS FROM JOHN BELL.

On the 9TH of July, 1850, John Bell made
Il speech in the Senate Of the United States, in
which he used the following language:
Sir, no man who loves his country: no man
who has any just pride in the reflection that
he Is an American citizen, but must desire
that these discussions should cease for, sir, it
IS not II mere question whether we shall pre-
serve the Union; for that may be, and yet
prove no great boon either TO ourselves or to
posterlty. The question is not whether these
States shall continue to be united according to
the letter of the covenant by which they are
bound together: it is whether they shall con-
tinue TO be united in heart whether they shall
continue to be practically and efficiently CO.
operative In carrying out the great end of the
association. Tile question Is, UhRther Hutpdl
trust and confidence shall continue to animate
a1"t encourage mutual efforts IN promoting and
multiplying common benefits or ichether mu-
tndt hatred dnd diStr7st shut step IN to cheek
all progress, to distract and contouad all joiut
'Hdearors for the common ~rettore; IN fae, to
entail rpon tie country all the eriis of endless
djScoyd. That is the question. Ind rhen you
present Mat issue to me, / sag at once, GIVE ME-
SEPARATION GIVE Me DISUNION; GIVE ME-
ANYTHING IN preference to q Union sustained
only by poirer; 6y Constitutional aud LeqaL ties
,ctthout confidence. If our future career is to
be one of eternal discord and of angry crimi-
nation and recrimination, GIVE NE RATHER
SEPARATION WITH ALL ITS CONSEQUENCES.
If | am TO be at peace, let ii be peace in reality:
and If L am TO be at war, let me know il at
once, that may put my house in order, and
be ready to meet the consequences. SO. sir, if
| could dictate the course of Congress in the
pending difficulties, / would saw, let the adj
ju>tment be made in the real spirit of conces-
sion, compromise and Cancellation. Let us
have some assurance that the promised har-
mony shall be permanent. Stay this agitation;
allay this burning fever that threatens TO con-
sumo the system; terminate this suspense,
which Is more intolerable than an open rup-
turc. If we of the South have made up our
minds to yield nothing to endure nothing;
or II a better spirit actuates US, and we are
prepared both to yield something and endure
something, and yet cannot bring our North
ern brethren to any terms of just and equita-
bic arrangement, and they will continue 10
vex and harrass us, now and forever. let us
resolve, and let them suffer us, to manage our
own affairs in our own way. But | trust il
will never come TO this issue. 1Appendix to

gress, page ll0l.

SERvIE TROUBLE IN CLARK COUNTY, Miss.
We take the following from the Mobile Mercury Of
yesterday. Like our contemporary, we hope the
a mistake or eXaggeration
Mr.. Morphis, proprietor Of the Veranda Hotel
at DeSoto. Miss, was a passenger on the down
train yesterday evening. He informed us that II
citizen, a planter in the vicinity, had come into
the village just before he left, alarmed and much
excited at having discovered a plot for murder
and instruction. Mr.. NJ, had but little time be-
fore the departure of the train to talk about the
matter. Somehow, it seems, it was discovered
that a white man was visiting the planters negro
cabins nightly for the past week. Yesterday. a
negro woman confessed to a plot to poison him
and his family, and to do considerable mischief at
the. time Of a camp meeting now about TO be- held
in the neighbOrhood. The woman said the white
man has promised to take her of to where she
would be free when the work appointed her 10 do
should be accomplished. We have hopes that the
fears Of the planters may turn out TO be the re-
suit Of a mistake or exaggeratiOn. We should
wait for further developments before giving cur
rency to news likely to get up undue excitemenls.
but that we are well acquainted with the gentle
man, and regard him ~ a man OF intelligence and
possessed of a well balanced mind, not liable To
be carried away by false alarms. We hope to b+.
able to say, in a day or two, that there is nothing
up in Clark to disquiet the people. However i.
may be, we do not feel at liberty TO withhold
what we have heard, a. it may possibly concern
the public to know il more than we have con,
jectured.

The MATERIAL 1T WAS MADE oF.-Dr
COttman's Dodges.-lf the Donaldsonyille
Convention was a failure it was not the fault
of the indomitabie Cottman, late of RUSSIA.
etc. He certainly did his duty to get his Dem
ocratic & friends to attend. Hon. T. C. An
derson, of st. Landry, the Ajax of the Oppo-
sition in the interior of Louisiana. at present
an active supporter of Bell, always an oppo-
nent OF Democracy, was invited to that Don
aldsonville feast by DR.. Cottman.
The Doctor wrote to MIR. Anderson INVITING
him to attend the Convention, promising him
it he would do so to make him a deleoato IN
Baltimore! Col. Anderson respectfully de-
clined the invitation. As a matter of curios-
ity we should be gratifed to see the correspon-
dence-how Cottman insinuated and caioled.
and how Anderson rebuffed. Can't we get at
the correspondence
We extract from the Opelousas Courier a
paragraph from a report of Mr.. Hardy's speech
at Opelousas in reply to Mr.. Soule on the 9Th,
where Mr.. Anderson was brought to the wit
ness stand. Here is the gem for Democrats to
reflect upon:
Mr.. Hardy then spoke of the ierrymander-
ing of Douglasites in the Donaldsonyille Con
%vention showed that many of the men who
sent delegates to and went as delegates to that
Convention, were now active Belland Everett
men. (At this moment there was great an
plause from the BelleveriteS.l Mr.. Hardy
continued, well may you applaud the treach-
cry OF political gamblers. And to YOU. Mr..
Thos. G. Anderson, as you seem to be disposed
to make yourself conspicuous, 1 wish to pro-
pound one question: did you or not. receive
invitation from DIR. Cottman to attend the
Don~aldsonvile Convention as a delegate from
st. Landry he promising you a seat therein.
and to send you as a delegate to the BaItimors
Convention to represent the Democracy of
louisiana Mr.. Anderson anwered al
DID, but respectfully declined" Mr.. Hardy
continued-Mr. Anderson acted right. he
knew be was no Democrat, and could mot rem
resent the Democracy, but Of such materials
that Convention made up. They were
received at baltimore with open arms 10
eonsommate the fraud there practiced unon
the Democracy Of the Union.

Both Douglas and Breekinridge men supported
Smart, and yet there are those who pretend to he

State will 90 for Douglas in November. What
an iaexcusaLle attempt at deception.
The tremendous Bell party, the party that is
going to elect IA President @ gets the whole of

carry Massachusetts,. We suppose. We deplore
these Abolition victories, but VT think il our duty
TO inform our readers that all calculations to
elect a President by the aid of these New England

MORE ABOLITION MTsCHIEF.-It is rumored that
William J. Redpath, formerly reporter of Kansas
Outrages for the New York Tribune, has recently
arrived at Port au-Prince, and presented to the
Haytien Government a plan for the overthrow Of
slavery in the United States. He is said to have
promised to provide 1000 men, If the Haytien
Government would furnish sufficient money to
equip them and keep them in the field for six
months ; and to have declared that this lumber
would be sufficient, with the accessions Of which
they are sure in their progress through the South
ern States, to liberate every slave within the
period mentioned. The Haytien Government con-
cluded it bad enough to do. to look out for Hayti,
and did not care to be swallowed up by Uncle
Sam. Thisstatement is said to emanate from
government officials at Hayti. Whether entitled
to credence or not, we are unable to say.

PUNISHMENT or A STEAMBOAT THIEF.-From the
Lake Providence Herald, of the 5th inst, We take
the following:
The steamer Hiawatha, from ST. Louis, put out
at our landing yesterday mornings man who had
been detected and convicted of a robbery of GER
tain articles of value belonging to one of the cabin
passengers. The robbery vas committed while
the boat was near Greenville, and the articles,
consisting Of one hundred dollars in money and a
gold watch, were on the person Of the culprit, who,
it seems, was also a passenger In the cabin, and
whose appearance, we learn, indicated that of a
gentleman. A jury Of the passengers was empan-
neled, and the gentleman tried and convicted, and
condemned to divers doses of whip cord, which
were well administered by the mate after which
he was made to undergo a not very pleasing ton
serial operation, which was that Of having the
hair of one side Of his head shaved off smooth.
He was put OFF at our landing to ruminate upon
his conduct and the "untoward fate of genius.''

WHO ARE THE DIsUSIoSIsTs. Many of the
friends of Douglas are trying to make the people
believe that the Breckenridge party is a disunion
party. Why the fact is, the President Of the
Raleigh Douglas Convention DIR. G. j. Fox has
been an open and avowed disunionist for several
years past, and Mr.. McRae, the big gun of the
occasion, has also been a disunionist, as well as
some others who were present. Let the Douglas
men remember this when they undertake to make
the impression thatth friends of Mr.. Breckenridge
and the Democratic party are disunionists, as they
did ut Raleigh last week.-Chdrlons Democrat.
