are We Not Inviting Agsrcsslons

IT is well known TO every intelligent citi-
zen that, soon after the John Brown raid, the
citizens of the slave States were of one mind
as Ear as regards Northern aggression. We
had no apologlsts among us then, endcavor-
ing to palliate or justify the conduct of North
ern abolitionsts. The South was unit,
and the consequence was, the people of the
North became alarmed and held great "UnioR
Mass Meetings" in every large commercial
city throughout the Northern States, deprc-
eating the conduct of the abolitionists, and
plcdging themselves to suppress and put
down thS fanatical spirit at all hazards. The
Northern people then believed that the peo-
pie of the South had taken their position and
intended to maintain il even at the risk of II
dissoluiiou--that they intended 10 submit no
longer to Northern sectional rule and North
crn fanaticism-that they intended to main
tain their constitutional rights and the equal
ity of the South at any and every risk. The
result was as we state above, that the North
ern conservative spirit took the alarm and
commenced a warfare against abolitionisn,
in which, if the South had remained firm
and united, they would have triumphed; but
these great Abolition on-CUnscryative-in-
Observation-Disclosures gatherings soon
quoted ahe South, and abolitionism was
again IN the ascendant. And now they have
no fears from the South, for Southern news
papers and Southern orators--and we are
panied TO find it so-arc denouncing all those
as dsunionists who refuse, in advance, TO
pledge that they will submit TO Lincoln's
rule should he be elected President. What
has restrained or what viii restrain Black
Republicanism from destroying every vestige
Of Southern rights and Southern equality, i.
it be not the fear of resistance from the
South! Why then will Southern 0pposi-
ton speakers and papers charge party who
are governed solely by the Constitution, with
being disunionistsl VIII not this voluntary
submission, in advance, to the ircpressible
conflict doctrine, do more TO strengthen the
followers Of Lincoln, and to urge them on
against the institutions Of the South, than
anything else the South can dol We know
that the people of the South are intelligen;
and patriotic, and VIC would ask Of them. in
all seriousness, TO reflect soberly and calmly
on the crisis now before them. We love the
Union, and we are willing TO sacrifice much
for its perpetuitY, but we honestly believe
that the only way to preserve it in its purity
is to resist every violation Of the Consti-
tution.-Holly Springs Herald.

The Two Faces OF Douglasi.m.
SOUTHERN TEXT.

in common with the Democracy Of Till
nois, accept the bred Scott decision Of the Su-
preme Court of the United States, in the bred
Scott case, as an authoritative exposition Of the
Constitution. Whatever limitations the Cohsti-
tuition, as expounded by the Courts, imposes on
the authority Of Territorial Legislature, we
cheerfully recognize and respect in conformity
with that decision. Slaves are recognized as
property, and placed on an equal footing with all
other property. Hence the owner of slaves-the
same as the owner Of any ether species of pro-
perty-has right to remove 10 Territory, and
carry his property with him. Douglas speech
, at Mem Orleans Dec 6, 1858.
"We" THAT is, he and Senator Brown, who
goes for Congressional protection) "agree that,
under the decision Of the Supreme Court Of the
United States, slaves are property, standing on
an equal footing with all other property; and
that consequently, the owner Of a slave has the
same right to emigratc to Territory, and carry
bis slave property with him. as the owner of any
other species of property has to move there and
carry his property with him. Douglas speech
IN y. S. Senate, FEB. 20, 1852
"My opinion in regard to the question which
my colleague is trying to raise here has been well
known to the Senate for years. 1t has been re
peated over and over again. Ny
answer then was, and now is that IL the Consti
tuition carries slavery there 1.-THE Territories) let
IL 60 and'no power on earth can take It away"

ABouT two thousand Of the members Of the

the Rio Grande, prepared at any moment to join
the Liberal forcss in Mexico at Monterey. from

This body is under command Of Generals Bick-

The movement is general and widespread. The
members Of the order in this city, to the number
Of several hundred, arc making preparations to
join their brethren on the borders Of the '.sick
man" Of this continent. Col. r. C. Tyler, Of the
Maryland regiment; Col w. ID. Robbins, Of the
Mississippi regiment; Capt A T. Mallett, of
Nashville, and number Of other officers Of the
order are at present in the city, consulting upon
measures connected with the proceedings. The

Wanted at the WING Once.

The letter written by honest old Joe Lane in
1916, dcnouncing Gen. Taylor, and charging him
with classifying the facts in giving to the Missis-
siPpi regiment the credit Of turning the tide Of
battle in favor Of the American arms at Buena
VISTA TickvJgrg Wig.
We viii accommodate the Wig with Gen.
Joe Lanes opinion Of the conduct and services
Of the Mississippi Regiment at Duena Vista In
has official account Of The battle he paid to Mis-
sissippi's sons tiiis glowing tribute:
I'm battle so fierce and protracted as this.
where there were so many exhibitions Of cool
ness and bravery, il is difficult task to partic-
ularize, but justice compels me TO mention Col
Davis and his regiment Of Mssissippians, who
50 molly and so brayely came to the rescue at
the proper time TO save the fortunes of the dav."
That Is what Gen. Joe Lane said Of the MissiS-
sippi chvalry ''in turning the tide of battle in ia
vor'o the American arms at Buena VISTA
Probably the Wig aludes to the letter of the
cowardly BLACK Republican, Col Jim Lane, of
Kansas notoriety. -Nississippidn.

PROSPECTUS
OF THE
Oxford Intelligencer.

IT is proposed to establish, at Oxford, Mississippi
n weekly Journal under the foregoing title, and to is
the first number OF about the LIST day of june
1860.
TIE INrELLIGENcER viii not he the organ Of any
man, of amy clique combination of individuals ;
but it win epdcayor faithfully to represent the views
and sentiments of the community of Oxford and La
yettc county and to uphold and foster all the great
iuterests-educational, agricultural, material social
and mora-with which the highest welfare Of our PEG
pie is identified.
The fundamental doctrines Of the State Rights
school of Democracy will constitute the guides by
which the political course of the paper will be
trollcd and while the lNTELLIGENcER will sustain
Southern institutions and the Of the South with
energy and zeal it will do calmly and only by rea-
and argumcnt-remembering that there is a zeal
which SIS not according to knowledge" and whose
only weapons are empty defamation and appeals to
popular ignorance, passion, and prejudice. II will
eanestl ysupport the principles andOrganzaon of the
Democratic party but at the same time, It will be
courteous to those of fellow-czens who are po-
ltcaly opposed to it; nor will it descend, in any
case, to personal abuse and utilization
The Editor first saw the light in Tennessee, but
was brought to Mississippi while he was yet an I'M
conscious infant. Here he was nurtured and educa-
ted. He is a graduate of the University of Mssis-
sppi He is bound to Mississippi by every tic of as
ISOLATION and Affection and It will be his contant duty
to show that he is not unmndful of those obligations
which he owes to her.
Nothing win appear in the columns of the ISrELLI-
GEScER which the Editor does not believe to be true
for it is his purpose to establish for the paper repu
taton both at home and abroad which shall cause its
every statement of fact to be implicitly relied on
The Editor will studiously avoid all controversies
as far the same may be avoided with propriety by
one whose duty it will be TO call things by their right
names when he speaks Of them at all
Terms, 81 per annum In advance or 81 so at the

Wa invite the attention of those who are
constantly crying out against the Democratic
party because Of the eternal agitation Of the
"nigger question: to the speech OF Mr.. Sc
ward, at lansing, Michigan. When your
house is on fire it viii not do to say sleep
on" !" do not cry fire, for fear you may dis
turb the quiet of the city, and arouse the
fears of your neighbors." We say get up
and cry out Fire Firel" at the top of
your lungs. Let your neighbors know of
the dreadful danger that threatens them and
you. When foreign or domestic foe comes
marching upon you with banners flying,
openly proclaiming the existence Of an "ir-
repressible conflict" between them and you,
duty to yourself and country requires that
you should boldly meet the danger and not
retreat before your continually advancing
foe, and cry out as you go, " let US Of the re-
treating army ignore the question"
1t is idle to suppose that "no agitation
or non-action by the South would beget quiet
in the North. In the language of the Nash
vile Patriot, in 1858:
"Abolitionism is especially aggressive.
founded upon interference with the consti-
tutional rights of others, it lives, moves and
has its being in agitation and aggression. So
long as there is slavery in this Union, so
long win abolitionism be active, insolent and
insulting"
That there may be no mistake as to the Ill
innate designs of TIE Black Republicans, lis
ten to Horace Greedy:
ave desire not merely a majority of nom
inaly free States, but that every State shall
be thoroughly free and devoted to the cause
of universal freedom. A majority of such
free States as California, or even New Jersey
or Indiana, would be very poor reward for
the martyrdom of all the noble spirits-from
Loveioy, at Alton, to Phillips, at Leaven-
worth, who have freely rendered up their
lives in testimony to the wrong and curse of
slavery"
The question Of abolitionism, it will thus
ben seen, isnot an abstract buta practicalques-
ton. 1t cannot be ignored or stayed by the
cry of agiiation. 1t is upon us and we must
meet it.-NashpiHe Union and american.

w. L. Yancey.

0uR readers win be interested IN the following
description Of W. l. Yancey. one of the '.big
guns" Of the Democracy, whose talents are ex-
ercising great influence in the pending canvass.
Instead Of the "wretch" he is called by the Lou
isville Journal and kindred prints, it viii be
seen that he is graceful and amiable in manners,
as well as powerful in intellect:
'Mr Yancey is spare-buit, middle sized
gentleman, with decided stoop in the shoulders
His hair is light brown, and his eyes large and
gray. His face is peculiar, and without striking
features though closely observed il is seen to
be the face Of an intense and powerful man, hay-
ing an expression Of concentration and good-na-
tured sort Of pluck His style of dress is that of
tidy business man, and his manners frank and
unassuming as those Of boy. There is not the
slightest symptom Of the fanatic about him
His convictions are evidently not disturbed for a.
moment nor is his confidence in himself by any
means depressed by the vicissitudes of doubt
ful controversy. In the midst of the most excl
ted scenes he is placid in appearance, and so
thoroughly oonversant with his purpose that he
IS at perfect ease. The smile thar he wears amid
the acclamatons of multitude of admirers.
would hardly darken a shade at the hootings of
a desperate mob. But You do not know him
until you have heard him speak. His voice is
as clear as a bugle-note, and at the same time
singularly blended with its musicis sharp, high
metallic ring like that of triangle of steel
This peculiar voice. always clear and sharp,
perees to great distance, and would instantly
command attention in any assembly. He
speaks with great animation of gesture of his
arm, meanwhile walking quietly up and down
the platform. Upon commencing particular
branch of his subject, he straightcns himself
with an effort, stands perfectly erect, and pulls
up his coat sleeves. As he proceeds in the dem
onstration, he moves toward the edge of the
platform, and leaning forward indicates the pro-
grcss he is making by exclamation points given
with the index finger Of his right hand upon the
palm of the left. As he clinches the proposition
he leans forward until, poised upon the toes of
his boots, his right arm extended and pointing
into the heart of the matter, and then usually as
he rebounds, he throws offsportiyely, as it were
a graceful climax Of rhetoric, and is ready for
the next point" -
