There being none but negro testimoney against

Would it not be well for our Legislature, at its

to say that if such law existed, but few cases of

We are in favor of such . law. A negro that

Grand BeiI-Evertt HuIIabaloo-

NEXT Saturday, the Goth, is the day set apart
by the Union-shriekers of this county for their
grand hullabaIco Many of the best speakers
Of the country have been invited, and are ex-
pectcd to lie present In the list is Emerson
Etheridge, the Union-at-any-sacrificem man. They
ought also to have invited Neill S. Brown, who
uttered the delightful sentiment which finds its
echo in every submissionist bosom, that "he
would not give up the Union of these States for
all the railroads, and all the ships, and all the
manufactures, and ALL THE NEGROES in the
country"
We hope Mr.. Etheridge will be present, and
give us one of his peculiar harangues. The
true State-Rights Democracy have nothing to
5ear from such doctrines as he promulgatcs
The false charges and ruinous political principles
of the Bell-Everetts are never dangerous, after
such an exposition of their tendency as IS to be
given in the speech Of Hon. jeff Davis, at the
Courthouse, this morning. Let Democrats
take care that the antidote of truth be always
administered, and they may rest assured the 9th
of November will bring glorious victory for the
true Democracy.

A Lie Thrice Branded.


We observe that some of the Opposition pa
pcrs still charge that Gen. Lane, while member
of the Indiana Legislature, voted for the Wilmot
Proviso. There are several facts, which ought
to be sufficient to prove to them the utter truth
lessness of the charge. In the first place, the
Wilmot Proviso was not introduced into Con-
gress till Gen. Lane had ceased to be member
of the Indiana Legislature. In the second place,
when the resolutions, to which the Opposition
press and orators allude as the Wilmot Proviso,
were introduced into the Legislature, Gen. Lane
had resigned his seat in that body, and was with
our gallant army in Mexico, battling gloriously
to drive back the Mexican invader from the soil
of slaveholding Texas. Either of these facts, If
knorD TO the Opposition editors, would make
them ashamed of publishing a charge so stale,
and lie so often exploded. But it seems to be
the policy ofa large part of the Opposition lead
ers to ignore, as much as possible, everything
which tends to enlghten fine people as to the
true position Of the noble statesmen who arc the
candidates Of the State Rights Democracy
But such action is what might be expected from
party, which, like the dumb beggar-boy with
his printed petition, seeks 10 win sympathy by
pleading lockjaw, whenever speaking out would
injure its prospects Of success

The Excitement al Holly springs.

The excitement at Holly Springs, on last
Saturday week, having called forth expires
sions from the three papers at that place, we
give the remarks Of each, viz:
GREAT ExcrrENESr.-0ur citizens were in a
state of great excitement last Saturday night
from rumors reaching them of insubordinatiOn
among the negroes here. A large extra police
force was appointed and citizens generally
formed themselves into patrol clubs, who kepta
vigilant watch all night, but no disturbance oc-
CURED.
All things considered there exists not the
least doubt in our mind but that deep laid
scheme for general revolt exists in the South,
and suggest the great propriety fthe citizens
everywhere forming vigilant committees and
keeping on the alert. No harm could possibly
arise from this proceeding, while, on the con-
trary, carelessness on the part of our citizens
may permit secret emissaries to come among us
sowing the seeds of blood and insurrection.
Two maxms, no less true than trite, should be
kept in the minds Of Southern men, towit: "An
ounce of prevention is better than pound of
cure" "Eternal vigilance is the price of liber-
ty."-Holly Springs Star, 19M.
ExcITExENr-There was some excitement in
Holly Springs on Saturday night last. The ru-
NOR was freely circulated that contemplated
rising of the darkies was to take place on that
night The affair was so insignificant and
groundess, that we thought nothing Of it, until
our exchanges from other sections Of the State
came to US with reports of the rumored insur-
rection. We do assure our friends that, although
our b'hoys paraded the streets on Saturday
night expecting an attack from "rawhead and
bloody bones" our citizens generally slept as
quietly and calmly as usual.
We hope that our police, however, will keep
look out, as there are suspicious characters
rowing all over the country.-Holly Springs
Herald, 20M.
INsURREcTIoyARY ExcIrEMEyr.-0ur city was
in state of general excitement on last Saturday
night, from reports that signs indicated deter
mination on the part of the servile population of
portions of our county, instigated by abolition
emissaries in our midst, to make an attempt at
The Mayor Immediately added
large force to the police, and many citizens vol
unteered their services. The city is well guard
cd, and we have but to say that it should con-
tinue so to be. Sleepless vigilance is necessary
not so much over the deluded negro as over
suspicious white men in our midst. The South |
is filled with abolition emissaries Our ex-
changes from every quarter in the South give ac-
counts of such exciting scenes as we have just |
here Beyond doubt there is cause
for this. "Firing the Southern heart" is the |
game now played, by attempts to burn and de-
'troy. Vigilance committees are being formed
everywhere South, and their duty undoubtedly |
IS to hang up every white man convicted of in
