TEs BEIL-DoUGI.As organ here goes into eestacies
over the Memphis DoueIas meeting last Saturday, Is
it did over that gotten up and held by the Opposition
here.and declares that .the names of such men aas
were identified with these meetings, "will carrythou-
sands of the rank and file IN obedience to TIER honest
sedtnets," to vote against the BRECKENRIDGE ticket.
The object OF the Banner is plain Itpresumes upon
the credulity of those Democrats who are inclined
to favor the nomination of DoUGIAs. 1t knows that
Mr. BELL, and not Mr. DOUGLAS, is the party imme
diataly interested in such disaection as it is now
seeking to encourage. The poor innocent DoUGIAs
men are expected to shake down the fruit and the
BELL men are to enjoy it. The Banners columns
would not groan under rehearsals of what it terms
DOUGLAS demonstrations if it did not hope to bene-
fit its first love by the operation.
For the amusement of those who are observant
of the present course of the Bonner in its sympathy
with the DOUGLAS movement, we append few 'ele-
CANT extracts that appeared in that paper precious
to the action of the Baltimore Convention. and at
time when it was anticipating different results from
that body, and was preparing to play different tune
to the unsuspecting portion of the Tennessee De-
mocracy. Listen:

Some of the Southern Democrats are eringing and

making desperate efforts to rally party sentiment to
sustain them, to send delegates to the Baltimore
Douglas ratification meeting. But generally they
find it uphill business. As far the leaders are
concerned here in Tennessee, a majority, perhaps
are for patching up at Baltimore upon any terms.

Senator Benjamin made a furious onslaught on
Douglas, in the Senate last week. 1t was argu-
ment evincing much legal ability, and demonstrating
that the dogma of squatter sovereignty fatal to
the interests of the South and should not be accepted
by them in any event.
During his remarks Benjamin said that he had ex-
amined the debate between Lincoln and Douglas, of
1858, and he thought that the former the most
conservative man the SLAVERY question He read one
of Douglass speeches on the stump, in which he
stated that the people of Territory had the lawful
right to exclude SICeTJ from its limits. This caused
much surprise the Senate floor, and startled the
DouglasItes. 1t is point against him in tie South.
Benjamin demonstrated that Douglas had used Lin
coins views as arguments against the Democratic
party.-AdShUle Bonner, May 20.
"The Cincinnati Commercial noticing the above

the speakers paid many compliments to Mr.. Lincoln,
and preferred him to any of the Southern handles

one appeared to make Lincoln their second choice.
The Northern friends Of Douglas are determined to
force Douglas and Squatter Sovereignty upon the
Southern democracy, to the certain defeat
of any other nominee that may be made at Balti-

Tennessee, Kentucky Missouri and Maryland and
perhaps other Southern States, will accept him
in the coming Baltimore Convention, arrayed in
the most odious of his political garments-Squatter

spoils for another four years. And yet are told
by Southern Democratic Senator thathis record Is
