The Aberdeen (Miss.) Conservative in run
ming up the Douglas flag makes the following
statement and pledge:
sour object now is to defeat Lincoln, and
we are for that Constitutional, national and
conservative man who can accomplish it. IT.
during the canvass, We are convinced that
Mr.. Douglas is not that man, then we will
desert bis standard, and go for the man whom
we think will most likely succeed. We al
most know that Mr.. Douglas will receive the
Democratic vote of the Northern States, aud
will certainly receive large vote in the
South, if not a majority; but if we see that
we are mistaken in our opinions during the
canvass, and that Bell and Everett will re-
ceive the full vote of the old Wing party.
then we shall give them our support, and
urge the friends of Douglas to follow suit.
Douglas or Bell must beat Lincoln, for Brock
inridge and Lane will not receive the vote
of State in this Union.'
To this complexion things must come at
last. In addition 10 this we learn from q
friend of BRECKINRIDGE from Bolivar county
in that State. that he sees no hope for his
candidate, and that the race is coming to be
looked upon as lying between BELL and
LINCOLN. Such is our information from
other sections The Union ticket is now the
only truly national one before the American
people, and if it cannot defeat LINCOLN a:
the ballot-box, unquestionabiy no other can

NO Chance Confessed.

The Washington correspondent of the Phil
adelphia North American, a gentleman whose
word is reliable, says
Some of the leading friends of Mr.. Breckin-
ridge here are frank to say, while claiming a
larger vote than Mr.. Douglas, that one has no
more chance of election than the other. They
do not pretend that it is a serious contest for
the Presidency on either side. They are
making The fight in good earnest, and with as
much efficiency and zeal as if success was
probable, but only for the purpose OF secur-
ing the organization in 1864.
That is the true object of the struggle now.
They intend to terminate all internal divis-
ions hereafter, by leaving Mr.. Douglas and
his followers outside the socalled national
party, and purifying it in other respects.
What if Mr.. DOUGLAS and his followers
leave them outside of the so-called national
party.

A NATURALIzED CITIZEN IN TROUBLE IN
FRAScE.-A case Of great interest has recent
Iy been settled by one of the tribunals of the
Department of the Lower Rhine. A native
of that province, Michael Zeiter by name,
emigrated, in early youth, to America, and
subsequently became an adopted citizen OF
the United States letters name was on the
registry of the CONSUMPTION, and as he did
not answer he was condemned, and became
liable to seizure on his return to France. He
went back to his native province and was i'm
prisoned. Anappeal in his behalf was made
to the Minister of the United States, who i'm
mediately addressed NJ. Thouvenel, and
claimed the discharge of Zeiter on the ground
that he had become citizen of the United
States, and, owing no further allegiance to
France, could not be forced to perform ser
vice in the French army. The demand was
granted, and France has set precedent
which will be of value in the rest of Europe,
and which indicates her willingness to main
tain the most friendly relations with this
country

CHANGED HANDS The Chattanooga Adver-
tiser, whose editor, Mr.. COOPER, is a friend
of Mr.. DOUGLAS, has sold that paper to Messrs.
A. n JOHNSON and Fl. S. HILL, friends of
BRECKINRIDGE, who hoist that flag. In his
retiring card Mr.. COOPER says:
During the entire term of editorial duties
it has been our pleasure and good fortune to
labor for a united Democracy. The bonds
that once united the members OF that party
have become broken-and in our judgment
broken without justifiable cause. In this,
however, very large proportion of the de-
mocraey who have ever extended to us
generous support, are pleased to differ. 70
enter upon the canvass and to adopt that line
OF policy the greater portion of the AdUerti-
ser, patrons would wish and expect, we could
not. To pursue the line of policy more in
consonance with our sympathies and Judg-
ment would invites financial embarrassment,
which our little means, and regard for those
who have claims upon US, would not justify"

Col c.rrouRemoxed.

A dispatch from Memphis informed the
reader. OF the patriot yesterday that Col
WV. H. CARROLL had been removed from the
Post Office at Memphis and NJ. G. GAII-AwAT,
Eeq., the Editor of the ArGLanehe, appointed
his successor. Col. CIRROLL's offense is his
support of DOUGLAS for the Presidency; the
Administration having determined to pro
scribe every man holding Office who dares to
differ with them and to have preference of
his own between the two democratic tickets
before the people. We would not have free
country long, could such men as Mr.. BucH-
ANAS have their way. In their bands the
United States would become despotism more
deplorable than that of the modern Nero.
"KING BoMBL." We should not only have
men run over trough shod" and chung in
effigy," but incarcerated in dungeons and put
to the rack. The spirit of Intolerance and
persecution which prompts prescription. rid
ing trough shOd" over free men, and hanging
them in efigy is identical with that which
in darker ages invented the fortunes OF the
Inquisition, and offered up hecatombs of hu-
man lives to appease bigotry and seetarian
malice. 1t but needs encouragement to run
into the widest excuses. Against it every
American citizen who values the free institu-
tions of his country, aud appreciates the in
estimable blessings they confer upon him, as
higher and more important than party VOWS,
should wage unceasing hostility. Their ha-
tired of intolerance, and persecution, and
prescription, should be such as to allow them
no quarter. They strike at the foundations
of free institutions. and if not held in check
will destroy all that is worthy of perpetual
ton in our government.

Attempted suicide by a Young and
beautiful Girl.


The Cincinnati Press Of Wednesday has
the following article:
young and exceedingly interesting girl.
named Mary Jane Johnston, arrived in this
city few days ago, in company with d Young
man named Waite. and was taken to one Of
those miserable bOarding-houses on Fifth
street, between Butler and Ludlow called
the Union House, where her companion de-
serted her.
Her refined and modest appearance, COM
bined with her well-bred and elegant man.
ners, attracted the attention and command
ed the respect even of the class by whom she
was surrounded; and her story, when it be-
crime known, excited their sympathies and
ELECTED the compassion of all who heard it.
Yesterday morning she determined to de-
stroy herself and resorted to laudanum Be-
fore the narcotic had completed its work,
however. her condition became known; DR..
Goddard was called to her assistance, and
by the use OF proper remedies saved her for
the present, at least. to life she must forev.
er despise, and afterward removed her to the
Commercial Hospital, where she is now ly-
ing, only partially recovered from the effects
of the poison.
From what we have been able to learn in
regard to this exceedingly sad affair, it ap-
pears that she is the daughter of very veal
thy parents, and possesses in her own right
fortune OF S60,O00. She ls about seven
teen years of age, and was at school in
GAINESVILLE, Tennessee, where she met Waite,
the destroyer of her reputation and peace,
and became deeply enamored of him.
Like the fair Ophelia, she sucked the
music of his honey vows" and when he pro-
posed marriage she gave her life into the
keeping of him who had taught her love, and
with signs and praises won her heart and
hand. An elopement was projected and con-
summated. The pair came to this city; the
refined and elegant girl was taken to the
wretched clearinghouse We have named;
compelled to associate with persons she
could not regard as equals; was deserted by
the man she had learned to trust so we'll, and
her proud heart, bursting with the indignity
that had been heaped upon it, began to
wither ere it had begun to bloom.
She was penniless and friendless; had been
reared in luxury, but was now in want had
trusted, and had been betrayed; had been a
wife, and become what the world, in its bit
terneSs and hate, denominates an outcast;
had loved and learned the fatal truth that
her loves young dream could not be real
lied; had gazed on Paradise, and from the
lofty height been cast into the deep perd-
ton of unending woe by the very hand her
lips had kissed.

CarrouCounty.

A gentleman, writing from Carroll coun-
ty to this Office, on business, puts the follow
ing as postscript to his letter:
Democracy is in great confusion in this
county. The reports from the Baltimore
Convention are anything but palatable. The
leaders are 'hollerIng, rats to your holes,
bu. there are so many holes they don't
know which to take for safety. The most
of them take a Northern direction; whilst
the honest ones that are remaining will sup
port BELL. and EVERETT.
ese"Crops look fine here. We will make bet
ter corn than we have for the last ten years.
Oats are very good-no rust this season.
Health extremely good attributable it to the
nomination of BELL and EVERETT"

of the BRECKINRIDGE-YANCEY faith got into
warm controversy here, some days ago.
The latter sought zealously to convict the
former of error, and finding he could not, got
angry, and declared he scorned him as a
Constitutional Union man. Our BRECKIN-
RIDGE-YANCEY man, is not the first person,
who rejected a good thing. He is like the

companion, and, determined to annihilate

over two of its wide columns to a reply to
the address of Messrs. CARROLL and WATER

point in which is to show that JOHNSON, the

just as fierce disunionists as YANcEY or any
of his school They will probably show, be-
fore they are through, that neither of the fac

dence of the fact that the heat OF the present
