uncertain. The failure of one cotton crop in
FIVE would probably ruin almost any planter in
the United States.
In this condition of things it would net be
difficult to divide the territory of Texas into
two States of different interests, the western
half being devoted to grazing, agriculture and
free labor, and the eastern half to cotton, sugar
and slave-abor. The Colorado River would
divide the state into two nearly cqaul parts
and these divisions would probably be found
sufficient for the interests of the territory. Cot
ton could be produced in the western division
only along the courses of streams; and nothing
but the aggressive, dictational spirit of the
slave party, aided by the democracy, could ever
determine it to be slave state. Its soil is by
large proportion nothing but desert, which
serves only at present to render the escape OF
slaves into Mexico li;tle more difficult than it
otherwise might be.
The political status of Texas, therefore, offers
fair field for democratic enterprise. The ex-
ample set in the violation of the Missouri COM
promise, could be easily followed out by re-
pealing the law that secures contingency OF
eight votes in the senatorial representation Of
Texas and as success will have crowned the
one by the election of Mr.. Douglas to the
Presidency, why may it not attend the other
whenever some Democratic leader shall please
to undertake it? Hence we may see why the
South, and especially the ultra south, should
shrink from the nomination of Mr.. Douglas
His name is Unidentified with reckless courst
of policy which is as little consistent with stable
government as it is with good faith. He neither
sticks toIparties, compromises, nor to platforms
and is likely to prove as treacherous to the on,
as to the other. 1t would indeed be a hard cas-,
for the STAKEHOLDER if he mad no other attcrna
tive hut to elect Mr.. Douglas.

MELANCHOLY SUIcIDE.-Charles J. f. Ston

MELANCHOLY SUIoIDE.-Charles J. +. Stone,
young lawyer of Plymouth, N. H., committed
suicide on Thursday morning last week, by
the use of strychnine. Attachments were laid
on his property on Wednesday evening, when
he purchased the drug, telling the druggist of
whom he procured it, that he wanted it for
some chemical purpose. The Statesman says
Thursday morning, about eight o'clock, he
filed two glasses with cider, and handed one to
his wife, who soon after left the room. 1t is
supposed portion of the strychnne was placed
in his own glass and drank. The misguided
man afterward went to the druggist and told
him that he made misstatement to him on the
evening previous and, producing the bottle,
said, that the portion of the poison which was
