FOR THE DEMOCRAT.
ORP0SITION.- MEETING


Ma EpIroR;-We-understsnd thattbe Opposi.
tiOn party had a convention on last Saturday, at
theCOurt House, Hon. C. L. Dubuison presiding.
The Judge, upon taking the chair, explained the
object of their convention and briefly referred to
the various political organizations of the csuntry,
and attempted to demonstrate that the Southern
yHTs-sate's were equally Objectionable as the abo-
honists North. We are not inclined to the opinion
that Judge pubuisOn supposes that the so called
Sre-eaters would steal and run off the slaves Of
the South to Canada, nor endorse the Helper
BOOK or assist in getting up a raid against
Soutbsrn sister State, in order to emancipate
their slaves, and commit murder and rapine upon
their defenceess women and children. We con-
eluds, therefore, that the Hon. Judge must have
been unnecessarily excited against his Southern
brethren.
We were also informed that Judge Dubuison
declared that the Black Republicans were NOT m
abolition party that many of them we're con.
ssrVative and would affiliate with the Southern
Oppostonists to elect their President. We re-
gardit as mere matter of talk, as to whether
this Infamous Seward party are abolitiOnists or
conservatives
30 far as the Slst@ RigAh Democratic party
(cslled hrc- eattrs are concerned, they desire 10
afnlistiOn with abolitiOnists, negrO-stealers or
Black Repu6liOanss other than to elevate them as
did they one Of their great leader s. John Brown
And seme Of his allies, at Charlestown.
In conclusion, that baud Of patriots called fire
s1I"'. claim nothing at the hands Of their gov
eminent but the Constitutional rights, nor will
they submit to anything less in the adjustment Of
tho slavery question. YAzoo CITY.

Governor Houston has written letter
which appears 10 the Texas papers, declining
to allow bis name to go before the Charlie
ton Convention. He says that any move.
ment for his election to the Presidency
must originate with the people.
The Bulletin has found out very edifyinp
case of Fire Eater, who went from Mississippi
to California; and has there become Black
Republican. This is Sam Bell, once q
DemocratiC Controller of Mississippi. The
Bulletin is probably nearer the fact in re.
gard to Bell than it is in reference to anoth.
er supposed renegade Fire Eater, of whom il
thus discourses
"T'he fact that Judge Gholson, fire eat.
ing Democrat from Mississippi was last year
nominated and elected Chief Judge of the
Supreme Courtof Ohio, BY the Black Re
publicans, caused at the time no little com.
ment. 1t was an illustration of old saw that
extremes meet Such cases are becoming
frequent"
A great mistake, neighbor. There is a
Judge Gholson in Mississippi, who is still a
fire eater, but the Judge Gholson who was
elected Chief Justice of Ohio was many
years ago an Old-Line Whig in Mississippi,
and left the State long before the days Of
Gre eating and the origin of fire eaters Il
would be strange, if the South, of all the
rest of mankind, had not its renegades, but
there is no use multiplying them beyond the
facts and real fgure.-N. 0. Delta.

AN ABoLITIoNIsT "DUcKED. During
the last week report was pretty generally
circulated in our midst that a man by the
name of John j. Alen, an Ambrotype artist,

for short time, had very freely expressed
and advocated Abolition sentiments to sew
raj of our citizens. Enquiry was made into
the matter, and evidence produced which
proved the report to be correct. On Thurs
day the gentleman from Ohio" was wait,

girde up his loins and seek another locality
in double" time, or otherwise he would be

dry good stores The fellow lost no time in
obeying the command, and started off in a
few hours in the Durant back. Some of our
citizens, however, thought more formal
farewell should be taken of their guest
they believed be had many sins to answer
for, and that gentle "emersion" in little
Moccason would prove of much benefit.
The hack was consequently intercepted Mr..
Allen taken therefrom' and after many pray,

The News thus cordially invites the Demo
cratic crowd to the hospitalities Of the ancient
city Of Charleston:
"What has her private hospitality to dc
with such case-an irruption upon her Of
an immense horde of men. intent on their
own selfish ends, and Indifferent alike to her
people, their sentiments and interests? And
thousands of them, too, of such character
and manners, that if they were to come here
individually, again and again, it would never
DO thought by a respectable man of our city
to admit any of them within his doors.
During the presence of that promiscuous
crowd, the private doors of Charleston will
never have been SO tightly shut and care
fully guarded as then. She will confer
more watching than hospitality upon the
"camp>followers" who have come to swarm
at the assembling of National Convention. "
There may be some vulgar fellows con,
gregated at Charleston, but we don't think
one will be found vulgar enough to pen and
publish such paragraph as that

The DEATH OF Coz. s. R. ADAMS 1T
our melancholy duty to record the demise Of
the brother Of our former associate in this
Office, Col S. R. Adams, of the Paulding
Clarion, who died at his residence in Pauld.
ing, Miss, on the night of Tuesday last.
The announcement of his death will suggest
painful emotions in thousands of hearts. f =
his acquaintance through the South was
more extended, perhaps, than that of any
other man, and be secured the esteem of all
who knew him. An upright gentleman, an
able writer, fair and honorable politician,
the State of Mississippi loses in him most
valuable citizen, and the editorial profession
an ornament ard example to its fraternity.
The newspaper which he established and
conducted fot over twenty,tw years to the
time Of his death is his monument, for by
his untiring energ, enterprise aud ability,
he secured it an unprecedented prosperity
and placed it where it stands, far in advance
Of ali its contemporaries of the rural press of
the country, North or South.
Colonel Adams leaves a large family, but
it is gratifying to his many friends to know
that they are abundantly provided for. We
tender them our sincerest condolements in
the afliction under which they arc suffering
from their irrepar. BILE loss.

DOUGLAS VOTE FOR THE wILM0T PRO-
VlSO

it is we'll known fact, says the Missls.
sippian, that Douglas voted for the Wilmot
Proviso, and was universally execrated and
denounced throughout the South. His sub
sequent better conduct restored him to favor,
and many became willing to support him
for the Presidency. But his more recent
bad faith has revived the recollections of his
early offences, and there is wide spread
and 6xed belief in the public mind of the
Democracy, that be is innately unsound and
corrupt in morals. and hereto in politics,
One of our cotempotaries thus exeeriates
him for bis vote in favor Of the Wilmot Pro-
viso, and more particularly for the reasons
which he assigned for bis act. The reAec-
tions are such as must present themselves to
every mind;
Douglas owns that bis conscience and his
oath obliged him to vote against the Wilmot
Proviso, but the Illinois Legislature instruc>
ted him to vote for it, and he had nothing to
do but to break his oath and violate his con-
science. A model statesman and patriot
truly! According to bis own account,
rather than resign his place in the Senate,
For manfully assume the responsibility of dis
regarding the fanatical public sentiment of
his State, be basely consented to strangle
his convictions, trample upon the Constitu,
tion, truckle to the peculiar whim of the
hour, aud crawl in the dust at the feet of
anti slavery fanatacism. faith can be
or ought to be roposed in such politician ?
What would it matter even if his convictions
we're souud3 He stands ready to betray
every conviction he cherishes at the bidding
of the people What would it matter ifI
his policy we're as just and wise as it is
wrong and absurdf He is prepared to sur
render his best matured policy at any mo.
ment to the clamors of bis constituents. HeI
is self proclaimed tool of the mob. There
is no element Of truth, no basis Of confidence
in him.
If, as a Senator of the United States,
Douglas felt bound to vote for the Wilmot
Proviso, in Difference to the wishes of
majority of the people of Illinois, he might,
as the President of the United States, feel
bound, out of respect for the wishes of the
majority of the people Of the Onion, to
sign that Rroviso, and to enforce it, and if
the course promised to advance his interests,
he unqucstiouably would do both without
hesitation Nothing is too atrocious or too
Infamous to be apprehended from public
man who Acknowledges that be sets the voice
of the people abeve the. dictates of bis judg-
ment and the inspiration Of his conscience.

One Of the main Issues in question in
North Carolina, at the approaching election,
will be the manner in which slave property is
taxed. The States Constitution declares
that slaves shall be taxed as property, and
one side stands by this proviso in the Consti,
tuition, and the other is striving to have this
changed, so that slaves may henceforth be
taxed as property.
