The Douglas Meeting ON saturday.

ACCORDING to previous notice the Douglastes
Of Lafayette County met in the Court House. on
last Saturday, to ratify the nominations of their
sqpatterite favorites. 1t was not a large and
enthusiastic meeting. "Grand. gloomy and pc
culiar," the Douglasites sat upon the benches
"in the solitude of their own imaginations, like
unccptred hermits." Capt DELAY was called
to the chair, and stated, to the satisfaction Of
his co-aborcrs, the object of the meeting. As
the call had been for Democratic meeting, a
large number of Breckinridgc men were there !;
and on thtir behalf Judge HOwY rose and,
having disavowcd any intention or wish to dis
turb the meeting asked if aH@emoerdts were to
be allowed a voice in the proceedings, or only
such as followed the fortunes Of particular in
diyidual. The Chairman, after some evasion,
answered that it was a National Democratic
NoHgtas Ratification meeting" and gave us very
plainly 10 understand that we could not vote
there After that the Squatters, as far as the
proceedings were concerned, had il all TO them
selves \ Committee was appointed to draft
resolutions, and we suppose they did their duty.
We have not heard Of them since
Afler the committee had retired, there was,
for while, the stiffness Of Quaker meeting
Then, it appearing that The Squattcrs, left in the
Court ROOM were too few to call for anybody,
Capt DELAY rose again; and, for almost two
hours, We listened to his defence of the Little
Giant" and his labored effort to prove that
Democrats who support Breckenridge are viola
ting the usages Of the Democratic party. BE.
coming very DESTROYS Of seeing what was on the
dinner table, we took our departure, very ratu-
rally trembling for the safety of our poor Rrecli-

stration," as high-ilying correspondent Of the
Memphis Appeal calls the meeting aforesaid
Capt. DELAY, himself estimates The number Of
Douglasites who were present, at thirty. There
were those present who knew all the persons in
the Court Room, and they tell us that they
counted just bakers dozen Douglasites that
claimed to be Democrats and two Douglasite

warning in time. Thus, and thus only, can the
Union be preserved and perpetnated And to
call us dsunionists," because we say that we
win not remain in the Union as interiors, is just
as illogical and absurd as it would be to call
that man murderer" who in order to pro-
tect his person from meditated assault, should
draw weapon and declare his purpose TO de-
fend himself to the last extremty-just as pre-
posterous as it would be to call him ''violator
of compacts" who should proclaim his resolution
to repudiate his part of an agreement if the 9th
er party TO the compact should fail to comply
with the obligations which it imposed upon him

An FugenioIIs Imitation.

WHkScvER a Dllck Republican contestant
comes forward to claim the seat Of Democrat
in Congress, TO which the latter was elected by
the people, the Black Republicans, having ma
j5rity IN the House, uniformly decide the contest
il favor Of their own partizan, and thus increase
their majority. Initiating this principle Of &C
i;on, the Douglasites, at their late Baltimore
Conveniion, excluded the Mississippi delegation,
whose seats were not contested, until the small
Douglas majority had first decided all questiors
Of contest in favor Of Douglas contestants. The
Douglas papers bTag loudly about the number
of votes their candidate received in the COnven-
ton, but they do not tell their readers how
raaly Of those votes were cat by bogus dele
gates, who were never accredited to the Gonyen-
tn b any legitimate authority.

so Mach The Worse.

VIZ have recently observed, in some of the
Douglas papers, long list of the journals that
are advocating squatter sovereignty doctrines.
II is significant circumstance, that very large
majority CT those journals are published in
those States which were represented in the
Charleston and Baltimore Conventions by Doug
las dClcgatcs-States which cannot be expected,
under any conceivable state Of things, TO so for
Douglas, b1t which arc morally certain to cast
their electoral votes for Lincoln. The longer the
list of Douglas papers published in the ADO
li;ion States the stronger is the evidence Of the
fact that considerable portion Of those who
have heretofore acted with the Democrats in
that region, have become dcbauched and de-
noralizcd through the influence Of that anti
slavery sentiment which 50 generally prevails
there.

ton of commencements at Oxford, L may
say that have seldom felt more interested
throughout an occasion of this kind.
The order, neatness, and general appear
anee of comfort and good management IN the
household department of the institution, is
not less deserving of praise than the educa-
tional part /; and the high compliment paid
TO the administration of the Board of Trus-
tees, by legislative committe, last winter, Is
sufficiently expressive as to the economical
management. 1t is to be hoped that the
growing necessities of thczinstitution will
meet with such liberal consideration at the
hands of the Legislature, as the good cause
it to offer an asylum, and
the advantages of education, to all those of
our fellows citizens who suffer under the ills it
alleviates so etfectually.

If the anti-Douglas Democracy constitutes bat
a fragment Of the party, the squatter-sovcr-
eignty-ites, who have not strength enough to
carry any two States in the Union, can scarcely
be regarded even as q infinitesimal remains Of
the party. The Appeal reminds us Of the Geclo-

A Democratic club.

met in the Court House for the purpose Of
forming Democratic Club" Hon. A. III.
PEGUEs was called to the Chiir, and LEOPOLD
HoUsEMAN appointed Secretary. Hon. J. NJ.
HowRY addressed the meeting, showing, in
a very able and complete manner, the true
position of the Breckenridge Democrats, as
compared with that Of the DCuglasites, pro-
wing conclusively to the minds of all who had
not Preiudged the question, that the supper
tiers of Dreckineidge and Lane were neith-
er "belters " nor " bogus-Democrats,' as they
had been styled, but the only followers in the
footprints of Jefferson and Calhoun. He
showed, too, that for a Mississippi Democrat
to support Douglas, was to be falseto his party,
which had in its State Convention, approved
of the action of its delegates at Charleston,
and instructed them as to their action at
Richmond and Baltimore. Il. G. SHIPP al
SO addressed the meeting.
We expected to receive the proceedings
for publication, or we should have given a
more extended notice of the meeting. Suffice
it to say that a large number Of Democrats
enrolled their names as members OF the club.
and that a meeting was called for next Satur-
day for the purpose Of permanently organi-
zing. Lafayette will do her duty never fear
Breckenridge and Lane will receive very
large majority in this County.
