cy had fair turn out Yesterday, although not
large, considering the efforts which. had been
made to get out q crowd. The procession was
not by any means up to what we had been led to
expect 30 wagons and buggies, nineteen horse
men, and thirty-three little giants on foot, in
hickory shirts three in the wagons too tired to
walk, made up the grand procession. The "I.it-
tie Giants" number several more than appeared
in procession, but when they got their hickory
shirts on they could not look one another in..the
face without laughing. Imagine Lawyers Clune,
O'Bannon, County Treasurer and Clerk, School
Master Dow, ex-Editor Steward, and lot of ex-
quisite young men in hickory shirts and straw
hats, marching over the stones barefooted! The
half backed out and the other half determined to
keep thin boots on. The display Of 'lttle gants''
wasinothing to speak Of. .iqat ~. ztEoo
The crowd which assembled at the corner of
Third and Jefferson streets was of moderate size

ieB- While other parties are distracted and
divided, and trying to solder up breaches, and
amalgamate discordant materials, the Republican
party is harmonious and united-strong in the
purity Of ito principles strong in the character
fits candidates, and strong in its patriotic pur.
poses. It seeks no unnatural coalition, OF fusion
at the expense Of principle, with any party fac
ton. It stands firm and erect on its own princi
Piles, and its own broad national platform. .iis
JOHN Bell FOR SLAVE CoDE-It seems Ia
be overlooked that the ''clap trap" candidate
John Bell, is strongly in favor of slave code
He is. more, so than even Breckenridge. His
hackers and supporters in the Slave States are
'scutting under" the Breckinridgers in sheir pro;
fessions Of devotion to Federal slave CODE
They scout popular sovereignty with contempt,
and 60 for Congressional Intervention in favor
Of slavery in the Territories. Throughout the
South the Bell journals are urging upon the
shareholders that Bell is the most proslavery
candidate in the field. among other extracts
from Bells public speeches they keep the follow
ing prominently before their readers, and chal
lenge their opponents to produce anything ever
said by Breckenridge or Douglas more pro.slave-

The Constitution, prop,-io s1goye the flag Of
the Union, protects the citizen in the enjoyment
OF his right of property, of s,ery description re-
cogniaed as such IN any Of the States on ese,y sea
and IN every Territory IN The Union. The sound
ness Of the general doctrine held on this point,
think, cannot well be questioned or disproyeJ;

As to the expansion Of slavery over new Ter
ritories, the Bell papers quote this extract from
one Of his speeches: -13sa9 7'safei ',as 81 48
"But humanity to the slave as well, not less
than justice to the master, recommends the pol
icy Of diffusion. and er4c,sio,a into any new Terri
tory adapted 10 its condition, and the reasons are
too obvious to be misunderstood by the dullest

g"As to the principle Of sSquatter Sovereignty
wish further to say, that in the contest be-
tween Gen. Taylor and the Michigan (Gen.
Cass, w was distinctly brought forward as an
issue before the people of Tennessee. In that
contest, in common with the South generally,
they, the people Of Tennessee, yepesdaed the idea
that handful, or any number Of inhabitants, in
Territory Of the United States, should have
thelpower granted 10 them BY Congress Of rcgu-
lating their domestic institutions and at their
discretion, to deny toMe citizen Of one section, Of
the Onion the powerto enjoy his right Of pro-
perty in slaves We we're advocating principles
and doctrines on this subject approvedi in all the
Southern States The principle then contended
for was that the people Of Territory, wAe,a Mey
came to form Oei,. State Cosasl;tsaion, AND THEN
