the BELL and DOUGLAS Hear what it said some
time past that DOUGLAS Squatter Sovereignty in
VOlved:
Senator Douglas doctrine in relation to the Ter
ritorial slavery question necessarily involves the
correctness of Stewards; because, if Congress does
not possess the power to exclude slavery from the
Territories, it cannot delegate that power to the
squatters or territorial settlers, Douglas and
Buchanan contend was done by the Kansas-Nebras-
ka bill. In accepting Douglas dogma, therefore,
Southern men disquafy themselves from denying
the cOnstitut.Onality and soundness of Seward's.-

Mr., RelI and the Suspension of The slave
Trade i'm the District of Columbia


Mr.. BELL, in his speech in 1850, on the suppress
sion of the Slave Trade in the District of Columbia,
said
As for slave pens, know nothing of them and
suppose that they are nothing more or worse than
private houses in which traders secure their slaves
against escape until they are transferred to South
ern market
A little before il the same speech Mr.. BELL said
But sir. were l a member of a town city
scouncil think | should not hesitate TO give my
vote for the suppression Of those slave depos. or
slqUe pens as they called. within the precincts
/" of the corporation
Now we ask if there Is a man Of Mr. BELLS party
in either branch of the City Council of Nashville
tbas will offer or support bill to suppress the
slave depots. or saue pens, within the precincts of
the corporation?7 Let Mr. BELLS friends here IN
Nashville show their faith in his political teachings
by their works.

Texas EIectiOn.-.The Abolition Plot.

The returns of the election for State officers, as
they come in fully support our former statement
that the regularly nominated Democratic ticket will
be elected by very large majority.
The Kelly House. at Houston, burned TO the
ground on the morning of the 18th Only small
portion of the furniture was saved 1t is supposed
to be the work of an incendiary.
At Richmond there is considerable excitement II
relation to the supposed AbOuonists, against whom
the evidence said to be quite strong of their hav
ing been tamPering with negroes
The Galveston NeloS very properly says: "The
we'll established fact that in the instruction dis
trcts the negroes have been found with strychnine
in their possession, in large quantities. should rem
der it imperative with all apOthecaries not to sell
poisonous articles to any person without the order
of physician, or unless they well know the pur-
chaser. Nothing OF the kind should ever be sold to
a negro"
The Houston telegraph says that plot was dis
covered in Hopkins county on the 4th INST, to burn
the town of Sulphur Sprins in that county, on cleo
ton day, the day after. Some negroes confessed
tie plot, and at latest dates it was undergoing in
vestgation. amid no little excitement
The telegraph has a brief letter from ''distin-
guished citizen of Washington" suggesting that a
convention be called of all the counties whose
ference might best elicit the facts of the Abolition
plot and recommend the remedy
The Abolitionist Lemons, who was recently
for the second time expelled from Quitman, was
saved from death only by the prayers, tears, and
supplicatiOns of his wife.
At the recent fire in Henderson (already mention
ed) the principal hotel and all but of the bust
ness houses were destroyed. The loss is estimated
at from $4,000 to 100000. All the supplies Of
groceries, etc. for the town and neghborhood were
burned, leaving many families reduced to want. A
negro woman belonging to a named Herndon, a
small tavern-keeper confessed to having started the
fire Herndon and his brother are under arrest as
being concerned in'he affair HerndOn was already
accused of having dealt with slaves for stolen

Thomas and Temple in Over.on.
MOUTH OF WOLF. TESx., Aug. Is, 1860

MOUTH OF WOLF. TENN, Aug. Is, 1obO.
MEssRs. EDIroRs:-On Tuesday, the 18th inst,
cording appointment the candidates for electors
spoke near this place. Col. Thomas lead off in a
speech of an hour and half. He took up the plat
form of the Democratic party and proved 1t sound
and consistent and showed the Democratic party to
be the only party upon which the people OF the
South rely to secure their rights and preserve the
nation Mr.. Thomas showed clearly and forciby
that Breckenridge and Lane were the only Demo-
cratic candidates before the people-the only candl-
dates that stood firm upon the Jefferson and Jack
son platform of the Democratic party-the only
men that adhered firmly and untlinchingly to the
time honored principles of our fathers. He exam
ned Mr.. Bells record, and when his anti SOuthern
course was held up before the people you could see
dissatisfaction depicted in the face of ALL He took
up the platform of the Opposition party and show
cOnclusively that they refused to define their posi-
ton upon all the important questions of the day.
He exceeded our expectations; carrying conviction
to every unprecedented mind that the cause of
Breckenridge and Lane is the of the Union and
the Constitution and equal rights-which had a
rlost glorious effect. Every Democratic was highly
pleased, and went home shouting for the cause of
Democracy.
Col Temple did not come up to the expectations
of his friends The principal part of his speech was
to prove the Democrats supporting Breckenridge
disunionistS, because he was supported by 4ancey.
He sympathlzed with Mr.. Douglas-thought the
poor fellow had been roughly treated-thought him
to be the regular nominee-spoke of his prospects
in fact he made as good Douglas speech as his
friends want. He did not pretend to defend Mr..
Bells course.
There are a few Douglas men in this neighbor-
hood, and they seem to have very little regret at
the decension of Reese in this district; they say
Col. Temple is as good a they want; they
Just want his name tackled on the Douglas ticket
All is right in 0VertOn. The Democracy of this
region see the Importance of standing firm, and
rest assured old Overton will roll up majority for
Breckenridge and Lane larger than ever before.
The Democrats are really proud of Col. Thomas as
their standard-bearer in this district. He young
man of the first order of ability, and we nope the
Democracy of the other districts have been for
tunate as we of the second. o.

Mr.. Yanccy,s memphis speech.

We furnish our readers this morning, in a sup
Elementary form, with the celebrated speech of
Hon. WIN. J.. YANCEY, of Alabama, delivered at
Memphis on the l4th inst, to the largest audience
ever assembled in that city. We have availed
ourselves of the AUdlarcheS excellent report, which
does great credit to the enterprise of that journal
It's due to Mr. YANCEY, that all into whose hands
this speech shall fall should carefully Zead it, that
they may hear from his own lips and arguments
whether he is the dangerous enemy of the Union
that he is charged with by the Opposition press and
speakers We will venture to assert that no man,
who will calmly and depassonately peruse this
great speech, can come to the conclusion that the
Democratic party, with its glorious champions,
BREcKINmDGE and LANE, Is any other than the true
Constitutional Union cause.-the cause of "the Con
stitution and the Equality of the States" Mr.. Yam
cEY's review of the which led to the disrup-
ton Of the Democratic party is powerful and over
wbelming. Let every one read it thoroughly.
We also print, in the same supplement, the ad-
dress of the National Executive Committee, to the
Democracy of the Union, which we also commend
to the perusal of every Democrat
1t is our design TO meet the public demand for
these documents. We have already printed large
number in extra FORM and shall, in a few days
print several thousand in pamphlet form; we are
therefore prepared to furnish individuals clubs,
and associations in any number that may be order

Col. HARVEY NJ. WATTERsoN publishes in the Ban
,er and Patriot of yesterday card in reply to what
appeared in the UNION AND AMERICAN of the 3d. un-
der the head of IAN ELEcTIoNEERING Trick" From
that card it seells Col W. did not authorize Mr.
MCCAIN to charge what he is reported to have
charged as to the purpose of Gov. HARRIS and
Messrs QuARLEs BENNINGTON and BURCH in going to
Baltimore. Our denial Of it is thereby sustained.
Col. WATrERsON says in his card:
al now distinctly aver that Atkins. Burch and
Ousrles earnestly enforced the proposition lin the
caucus of Tennessee Democrats at Washington, be-
fore going TO Balmore) that the Tennessee delega-
ton should withdraw from the Baltimore COnven-
ton on the refusal of that body 70 admit ancey and
his fellow boilers"
Without for the present, going into detail as to
what was said and done at the meeting of Tennessee
Democrats in Washington, and without having any
controversy as to what occurred there Mr.. BURcH
accepts the responsibility that may arise from haV-
ing enforced the proposition that the tennessee
delegation should withdraw from the Baltimore
Convention upon the rejection of the regu-
lar delegates from the Southern States that
withdrew at Charest and the admission OF
LEWIS T. PARSONS who never cast Demo-
cratic vote in his life and the other bogus del
egates from the South, who, IN the opinion Of Mr..
BuRcH were no more entitled to seats in that body
than any other DOUGLAS men taken from the States
from which they hailed.

Mr.. ETBEmDGE.-Hon. EN-. ETHEKIDGE has written
a card for the Memphis AUaldnche in which is con-
tanned denial of the statement of the AUdldnchs,
that me asked. if there any man present who
would find fault with the Black Republican plat
form. He also denies having said that the election
of LINCOLN on that platform would give peace to the
copntrs. and that the election of BRECKNRTDGE
would dissolve the Union What he did say, he de-
cInes 10 repeat on the ground that it would require

We are pleased to learn from the following para
graph clipped from the Napoleon (Ark) Planter
that Hon. THos. FLETCHER, who was born and edu-
Gated in this city, and is the eldest of the late
distinguished THos. h FLETCHER, Esq. of Nashville
is prominently brought forward the successor OF
Hon. ROBT. W. JOHNSON in the U. S. Senate, that
gentleman having declined a reelection. Judge
FLETCHER is an enthusiastic supporter of BRECKIN-
RIDGE and LANE:
Hon. THOs. FLETCHER.-The people in all parts of
the State daily becoming enthusiastic for the
election of Hen. Thomas Fletcher to the United
States Seuate and from present indications, be-
eve he will be elected on first ballot by the next
legislature to that honorable position.
The Judge is a strict States Rights Democrat, a
sound Constitutional lawyer, and understands well,
both the politics of the State and the general govern
ment, and in opinion there is not a man in the
State that could better represent Arkansas in the
United States Senate and give tone and dignity to
the State, than Judge Fletcher.

Mr.. BELL ON SURPRISING THE SLAVE TRADE IN THF
DISTRICT OF CoLUMBIA.-The bill on which Mr.. BELI
made his speech 1850, on the suppression of the
Slave Trade in the District of Columbia, proposed
that slaves brought into the District should be eman
cipated. Mr.. BELL opposed emancipation as a pen
atty, but said:
This bill should be so amended as not to augment
an evil that already weighs heavily upon the coun
try. Make the penalty for violating the provisions
of the bill pecu1iary Let It be loice the Udll
of the SlaUs If you please. If that is not enough, i'm
prison The offender"
So, according to Mr.. BELL, man who would car
ry his slave into the District of Columbia from Ma
ryland Virginia or Tennessee to sell, although his
necessities might require him to sell him, should
pay twice the value of the negro, be imprisoned
The feelings and sensibilities at the North de.
mand that the slave trade should be abolished at the
seat of the National Government"
So said Mr.. BELL But are the rights, the sacred
rights of Southern TO yield to the feelings and
sensibilities at the North? Let the BELL men OF
Tennessee respond.
