Douglas Convention AT Grenada.

WHEN the squatterites held their conven-
ton, as they facetiousy styled it, at Holly
Springs, they admitted that it was humbug
that not even respectable proportion of
the State was represented thcrc-and that
the nomination of an electoral ticket for the
State at large would have been simply
farce. They circulated notices, with great
industry, of State Convention that was to
be held at Grenada; and, after drumming up
all the recruits whose services they could
command, they succeeded in getting togeth-
err there, as we are informed, delegates from
sepen counties, all told. Their own men con-
fess that the whole affair was an utter and
miserable failure. In their candid inter-
course with their acquaintance, they avow
the fact that they have no hope of carrying
the State. They say they wish to encourage
their friends at the North, but they knog
they can afford those 'mulatto Republicans"
no encouragement, save at the expense of
truth. The fact is-and it is proper to de-
clare it-that there is no such thing as
Douglas party in Mississippi: there is not
even a Douglas faction here. A few fshy,
halfbaked Democrats, and few erratc po-
litical turn-coats, who, like Paddy's flea,
whenever you would put your finger upon
them. were not ''there," compose the squad
of ''the little giants" supporters. There is
nothing "gisantic" about them, except in
their efforts to emulate the toad in his at
tempt to swell himselfto the dimensions Of
the OK.

VIII They Assist In Defeating Their
Own Party.

AMONG the Douglas Democrats of Missis-
sippi, there are few who would prefer the
election Of Bell to that of Breckenridge. We
reckon in this number r. w. Flournoy, Dem
ocrat; and such men as John p. Pryor, j. III.
r. Taylor J. X. Clinton, and r. ID. Shrop-
shire, all of whom have but recently cleared
their skirts of Opposition,sm. We expect
we might class in this number, also, Franklin
Smith, of the Fourth District, who lately al
lowed himself to be run, by the Opposition
lists, against Mr.. Singleton, regular nomine Q
of his party for Congress. These men have
little love for the Democratic party, or the
Democratic faith. We do not think they
would weep to see it defeated. They regard
Mr.. Douglas, squatter sovereignty and all, as
better for the South than the bold declaration
of Equal Rights in the Territories, which is
unequivocally made in the Breckenridge plat
form. They regard Mr.. Bell as truer expo
nent of Democratic principles than Mr.. Breck-
inridge. To defeat the latter, they would
vote for the former; and, if it were practi
cable, they would propose fusion ticket to
effect their purpose. This not being practi-
cable, they do what they think the next best
thing. They incite those sincere Douglas
Democrats, who could not 10y any means, be
caiolcd into the support of Mr. Bell, to meet
with them in Conventions; and persuading
them that it is necessary, in order to give
"moral strength" to Douglas in the North,
they nominate a Douglas electoral ticket for
Mississippi They hope, by this means, to
draw off votes enough from Breckenridge to
give the State to Bell. They can have no
other hope. There is not one of them so
foolish as to expect to carry the State for
Douglas We do not believe that Demo
Gratis, who are Democrats from principle, who
have had the doctrine of State Rights instilled
into their minds from childhood, who have
fought lifelong fight for the Democratic
faith, and who would now Geprecate nothing
more than the success of such a man as Mr..
Bell, will vote in such manner as to defeat
their own party, and elevate into power a
party which has ever been hostile TO all the
doctrines they profess. VIII they do itl
Can they do it!

of his property, if he is SO incsntieus as 10
take it within her boundaries bat she stops
there: il remains for one of the States of the
American Union to declare that citizen Of
the United States shall be adjudged felon,
after her authorities have robbed him.
The Northern people with whom came in
contact seemed to have no idea of the state
of feeling which exists at the South. The
Bell men, vho are great trapeliers, 90 to the
North and tell them that the South nil sub
nit to the election of Lincoln and the carry
ing out of the Black Republican programme.
Northern men cannot be persuaded that any
serious discomfort is likely to be produced at
the South by anything they propose to do.
They think the disposition TO aequiesce in
the win of the majority, whatever that may
be, is so general, that scarcely a murmur
would be heard from any Southern State.
They profess to be unable to comprehend
hot0 We could regard the election of Lincoln
as an act of declared hostility to US on the
part of the North, or why we should look
upon it as the Inauguration Of policy which
contempates the utter extinction of slavery
in our midst. 9s
None of these various gentlemen, with
whom became acquainted during the ex-
eursion, obtruded their opinions upon me.
1t was only in response to my questions that
they entered the field of political discussion.
Many Oft them were very kind and attentive
to me, for which | owe them grateful thanks.
Hthose whom met, however, were not
Black Republicans. 1t affords me pleasure
to declare, as do, that met at the North a
great many men who were true to the South I;
men who conceded all our constitutional
rights, and who are, to say the least, as much
to be depended ON by the South as some Of
her own sons, who have been born and reared
upon her sacred soil.

Evidences OF The Fusion.

IN Virginia, the committees of conference
on the part of the two Democratic CONVEX.
tons, have been unable to agree The Dou-
glasites refused to listen to any overtures
from the Breckenridge men. They passed a
resolution, however, instructing their electors
TO vote so as to defeat Lincoln; and oppressed
a preference for Bell rather han Breckin-
ridge.
In Kentucky, at the recent election. the
Douglas men almost unanimously voted for
the Bellcverett candidate.
In Georgia, overturcs for fusion and a
partnership ticket have been made, and will
probably be accepted.
In Mississippi, R. w. Flournoy, and many
other Douglas Democrats, express prefer
ence for Bell as their second choice.
Everywhere, the evidence of fusion be-
tween Belleverettites and Douglasites, is COM
plete; Democrats, at least, men who claim to
be such, are received into the net of 0ppo-
sitionism with glad shout Of anticipated tri-
umph. Are the Douglas Democrats of Mis-
sissippi willing to help in placing any other
than Democrat in the Presidential chair
We know some Of them who are not. and
trust that November will find them true to
the old faith, and voting for Breckenridge
rather than Bell.

Know Nothing paper then published in Holly
Sprngs-we find a communication, over the sig
nature of National" dated at Buffalo, n. Y,
August IL, 1856. II seems that one j. W. c.
Watson--the same gentleman who told the peO-
pie of Lafayette county, few weeks ago. that,
if Lincoln was elected President, they ought 10
su6mit-had recently made a speech to the Fill
more men in Buffalo; and the object Of Nation
al evidently was, to hold Mr.. Watson up to
public admiration, at home, for his distinguished
services in behalf Of the party abroad Mr..
Watson, doubtless, was correctly reported, for
we are not aware that he ever disclaimed the SEN

Mr. Fillmore) to have Col Fremont occupy the
White House at Washington"
Mr.. Watson now saws that the South ought to
submit, and will submit, If Lincoln is elected.
How is this change to be accounted for? Is
Lincoln, or Lincoln's party, less Objectionable to
the South, in 1850, than Fremont and his party
were in 1856? Have the people of the South, in
the opinion Of Mr.. Watson, lost all their man.

ONE hundred seeding Mormons recently ar
rived at Carson Nalley, east side of the Sierra
Nevada mountains They were pursued by the
Saints from Salt Lake who threaten vengeance.
Brigham's doctrine is, once a Mormon, always a
Mormon-Er.
WE can trace this persecution Of seeding
hormons to amore tangible cause. The Church
Of Latter Day Saints has what is called an emil
grafton fund From this fund are paid the ex-
pcnses to Salt Lake City, of poor converts made
in foreign lands. The recipients Of this favor
obligate themselves to pay back to the fund
twice the amount loaned them To do this, in
government where the taxes Of Church and
State amount to an eighth Of the annual income,
requires parsimony and hard labor, sometimes
for years. Frequently the Church manages TO
keep man in debt to this fund.- without any
prospect Of ever paying out No wonder that
there is dissatisfaction and murmuring No
wonder that some, despairing of being their own
masters while under Mormon sway, should at
tempt to withdraw from its baneful influence.
As a matter Of course, the Mormon officials put
after them, to recover the debt which the sece-
ders are leaving unpaid. This seems to us a very
natural solution of the enigma of prosecuted
Saints"
