ahead Of all others in nse for durability, econo.
my, strength &c.: and it is the same that took the
premium at the Mississippi State Fair, in 1858.
The sale Of the patent of this celebrated Press
for the different counties in the Southern States
has been unprecedented; and it is generally pre-
dicted that in few years. they will supereede
all other cotton Presses known.
word as to the cost of these presses 1t has
been proven beyond the least possibility of a
doubt that there has never been Press invented
that can begin to compare with this one for cheap
ness. Therefore, if there is anything in economy,
they must certainly fad great favor with the cot
ton Planting portion of our community. They
seldom get out OF repair, are easily fixed, and

THE Democratic Association met In the
Court House ON Saturday, the 4th of August,
at o'clock, p n. The former President be-
ing absent, on motion G. d. Fee, ESQ.,, was
called to the Chair, and J. r. Burney was
appointed Secretary.
The Committee, appointed at a former
meeting to prepare Constitution for the
government of this Association, made their
report, which was, on motion, received and
adopted. Hon. J. NJ. Howry, being then
called on, delivered well-timed and able ad-
dress, in which he commented on the non
conmittal, no-platfom policy of the Con-
siitutional Union," Opposition, Bell party,
very much to the discontinue of the Bell
clappers present. The Judge gave them an
other " lift they were not counting on" when
he spoke of their party tactics. seeking to
widen the breach in the Democratic party,
by volunteering their advice to the Douglas
men, and that peculiar partiaiity they have
for all who are opposed 10 Breckinridge and
Lane. The Judge advised Democrats to lis
ten to the advice of their friends, and not
heed the counscls of those who have been
engaged in fighting Democracy all their lives.
Mr.. F. J. Loyeioy was then called on, but
declined speaking, on account of i'll health

The Origin OF squatter Sovereignty.

Mr. DoUGLAs is citizen of Illinois. He
has long protested to be Democrat. The
Democrats, for many years, were largely in
the aseendancy in that State; and Mr.. Doug
las, being natural demagogue, had little Lif-
ticulty in persuading the party there to support
him, and recognize him as their sTycoon."
But, at length, the leaven of abolitionism,
which has been gradually working in all the
Northern States for the last twenty-five years,
began to affect the party-or, at least to draw
off many Gifts members-in Illinois and the
dsnger was imminent, to the sagacious mind
Of " the little giant" that the Democracy of
that State was about to succumb to the en-
croachments of the anti-slavery sentiment of
the day. Something had to be done, and that
speedily, or it was evident. that Mr.. Douglas
would be laid upon the Shelf One of three
things he was bound to do, or retire from
political life, and abandon all hope of becom-
ing master of the White House. He must
become an abolitionist, or directly assail the
doctrines of the abolitionists, or chalk out
some new course which would enable him,
while he claimed to be still Democrat, to
neutralize the opposition of the anti-slavery
party. He adopted the latter alternative
Preceiving that the great mass of the oppo-
nents of slavery were not disposed TO make
an immediate assault upon that institution in
the States, and that they would be content, for
the present, with the measure of excluding it
from the Territories, with the ultimate pur-
pose of so amending the Federal Constitution
as to give Congress full jurisdiction over the
subject of slavery in the States, he adroitly
suggested to them that it would he the easiest
thing imaginable to enforce that measure,
without organizing an anti-slayery party, and
without ceasing to be Democrats, through
the operation of the doctrine of squatter SOW
cregnty. He could thus demonstrate, to the
free-soiers of Illinois, that they would have
better prospect of carrying out their prin-
ciples and purposes, as squatter sovereignty
Democrats, than they would have as Black
Republicans. Upon this ground it was that
he defeated Lincoln for the Senate. lie did
not make war upon the fell spirit Of aboli-
tionism. lie bowed before it, and truckled
to it, and enlisted it in his own cause, by
pointing out how it could accomplish its in
ternal purposes while it supported him. This
bricfand plain statement will suffice, we think,
to account for the milk in the cocoa-nut
to all except those who wW not understand
it. We admit that Mr.. Douglas processes to
be opposed to Black Rcpublicanism, and we
have no idea that he would favor the passage
of an act of Congress to exclude slavery from
the Territories. His mik-and-water opposi
ton to that one featrrc of the frce-soil pro-
grammc will suffice, he hopes, to hoodwink
and content the South, while squattcr sovcr-
eighty, on the other hand, is expected to
sweep the North. 1T is good plot" but
it will fail u
