Burr and Brtckinridge.

The following, from the pen of the
editor of the Louisvill Democrat, is one
of the most interesting and remarkable
pieces which the campaign has produced.
How we'll conceived How admirably
expressed How terrible the sting.
"a PARALLEL.-In the early times of our
Government there lived man whose talents
were of the first order, whose manners were
exceedingly captivating, and whose early
life was one of continued triumph. A pet
of the people, nothing that he could ask
was refused, and honor seemed to await him
on all sides. In military, legal and political
achievements he had no equal. Honors
gathered upon him almost like magic, and
at very early age he was made the next
highest officer in the Government. This
was his eliminating point. One step more
and he would have been the first man of the
nation. But time moved too slowly for
him. Another confederacy seemed possible,
and one bold move would place him supreme
over it.
"In later times there lives man, and all
can draw the parallel"

Naples Letter June 20 in London Times.
On Sunday the Count of Aquila tele-
graphed from Naples to Baron Brenier, who
was at Castellamare, and who returned i'm
mediately. There was close and long con.
ference that night, and on Monday morning
the Count was with Brenier for six hours.
The consequence is the following decree

ministry, who shall compile, in the shortest
possible time the articles Of the statute on the

and were voted down, and superseded by those
of his colleague, fell in with the Breckenridge
nomination, and gave in his adhesion at the
Breckenridge ratification meeting in this city.
But he, too, repudiated Mr.. Breckinridge's
letter, and will, it is said, issue pronuncia.

to fire in the rear as well as in the front.

Douglas i'm the East.

The New York Herald, the organ of the
Buchanan. Breckenridge disunionists in the
present campaign, publishes the following
correspondence from reliable source at
Boston
THE EASTERN J0URNAIS--DOUGLAs' CHANCES.
BosroN, July 5. 1860.
To the Editors of the Herald You may
add to your list of Douglas Democratic
papers the Boston Herald, with daily circu-
lation ofsixty thousand-more than five times
the aggregate circulation of all the Breck.
inridge papers, and more than forty times
that Of all, except the Boston Post. A6d
also, believe, Douglas Democratic paper
at Taunton, and in two months you will
have to add half dozen more in New Eng
land. Douglas will have ten thousand more
votes in Massachusetts than Buchanan had
although many old Wings voted for the lat>
ter in 1856. Douglas will have, also, at
least eight times as many votes as Breckin-
ridge. Put down Douglas $4,000, and
Breckenridge 5000 at the outside. don't
believe the latter will get one-third of that
number.
In New Hampshire the aggregate circu-
lation of Douglas papers is rising of $4,000,
and of Breckenridge, 1900. Deduct the
Manchester Democrat, which will probably
be reduced two. thirds if it continue against
Douglas, and the whole Breckenridge circu-
lation will soon not amount to 1000.
Burke's paper, the Concord Statesman, has
only three or four hundred subscribers, and
has been supported by the Black Republi-
cans for the last seven years. The blacks
also furnished the money to enable its pro-
prietors to fire a Breckenridge salute last
week. The split in the Democratic party
in New Hampshire is not worth mentioning.
Douglas will receive from ten to fifteen per
cent. more votes than Buchanan did, and if
the Lincoln and Breckenridge ofice-holders
here in Boston continue their combination
against him, be will carry four of the New
England States, all but Massachusetts and
Vermont; and as things are going, it would
not be astonishing to see one or both of the
latter 20 for him. "Old Abe" bids fair to
be swallowed up entirely by the people, and
Douglas will have all the north and north
west but four States-perhaps all but two.
The Herald is the very best paper in the
world. 1 have taken it ever since 1888,
aud couldn't possibly give it up. 1t is al
ways right on national matters only occa-
sionally wrong in supporting politicians.
But that is not of so much account after
all. The Napoleon of the Press" ought
to support the Little Giant" however, be-
cause you both 60 for letting every man and
every community take care of their own
niggers, both black and white, and mind
their own business.

As to the inconvenience and inexpedi-
ency Of prev en- ing a sale of the slaves of
the wife during her minority, which is
suggested as a reason against this con-
struction, we ito rot perceive the force of
the objection. For the wife is. during
minority, in legal contemplation. not pos
sessed of that Judgment end discretion
which would enable her TO make iudicious
dispositions OF her properly; and it was
one of the primary Objec,s of IL stair e
to place her separate properly beyond the
disposal of her husband-so that the Leg
islature might well have intended-as it
must be presumed, from what they have
enacted. that they did-to give no power
to sell the wife's. slaves until she should
attain the age of legal power ard discre-
ton. Again, it is insisted that the decree
IS erroneous. because there is no sufficient
proof that the complainant held the slave
under the laws of this State.
This objection is answered by the view
taken in considering the same objection
as presented upon the demurrer.
But it is shown by proof that the slave
was brought to this State in the year lS46,
and held by the Guardian of the COM
plainant; and shortly after her marriage
to Boone, in the year 1924, that the slave
was delivered over by her Guardian to
her and her husband, as part of her share
in her fathers estate; ard that they con-
tinued to reside in Monroe county, in this
State, after their marriage, and boarded
with the defendant, Cason. These cir
crmstances seem to warrant the conclu-
sion, that the marriage took place in this
State. And, indeed, it appears to have
been conceded in the Court below, that
the slave was the separate property of
the complainant under the laws of this
State; for the defendant placed his title
expressly upon the ground that the joint
deed of the husband and wife conveyed a
valid title to him Under ii laws of this
State, which is a plain con, e3sioa that TIE
rights of the parties are governed by our
laws.
Let the decree be affirmed. HANDY.

Mr.. EDIToR:-It affords me pleasure to
be able to correct some errors which
perceive you have innocently fallen into,
by crediting the O.Jor3 Hcrrv75s state
mcnts too far. Prof Gro. W. CARTER did
not resign on account of the decision Of
the Board on their trial of DIR. BARNAEp,
but manifested his design of so doing four
or five months previous to il, by accepting
the Presidency Of the College referred to
in Texas. about that time Prof. RICHARD

resign, from the part he had taken in the
trial. and the hostile relations arising from
it between himself and several members

With regard to the nativity OF certain
members Of the Faculty. | will remark
that Prof Phipps, whom the Mer-Ty
alone has thought would resign.l Prof.
Moore and Prof Harrison. are all truly
southern men by birth. nurture, almost
entirely by education, and altogether by
principle. Prof. Boynton's military ser
vice is known and appreciated by the
South, both "a Captain in the Mexican
war and as a long and faithful servant at
his station in Florida. Prof. Whitehorne
was horn in Jamaica, where his father was
large slaYeholder-went from there to
England to finish his education, and on
: his return, found his fortune destroyed
by the general emancipation in the Isl
and, but his principles still remained and
now actuate him to love the South, and
eniuy her institutions. PROS. Stearns and
