A Democrats Opinion.

The Southern Star published at Camden,
Arkansas, decided Democratic paper, fa-
vors its readers with the following compl-
mentary opinion of the action Of the Charles
ton Convention:
"Our opinion is, and We think it a rational
one, that the man to be selected by that Con-
vention, is yet to be brought forward. His
name has not yet been mentioned in connec-
ton with the nomination. As in the case of
James X. Polk in 1874, the Convention will
be compelled to center upon some compro-
mise man. In this event some may think
that the compromise man will hail from the
Sunny South" If they do, then we can on
y say that we think it quite doubtful. The
man selected will be some one wholly with
out a record as politician, and his residence
will be "up North" He will DO open to
and ten to one, in less than two
weeks after bis election, he will DO, POLITICAL
y, a second Douglas"
Well. this is honest at ak events. though
I is somewhat surprising that a usu who

DOUglaSiSue.

The Memphis Aralanchs has about the
same love for Douglas that a mad dog has
for water 1t cannot see his name in print
without going into paroxisms. The follow
ing delicious morsel appears in that paper OF
the 18th ult notwithstanding which, shonld
Douglas receive the Charleston nomination,
the .4ralanche will support him!
''Douglasism is still ilourishing in the Alb
clifton States. 1t grows most vigorously
where Abolitionism is rankest. 1t is nox-
ious weed that thrives best in steamng and
fermenting composts, where society is rotting
ranking and decomposing."
If this be true-and we have no disposition
to question the fact-then "Abolitionism" is
becoming quite vigorous all over the South

The Pryor and Potter Difficulty.

A brief history of the recent excitement
may be Of interest Immediately after the
occurrence in the House, Mr.. Pryor despatch
ed, through Mr., HindmaD, of Arkansas, n
note to Mr.. Potter, asking him to leave the
District to receive a written communication
Mr.. Potter replied that ~ his (Pottcl's) dis
qualification was contained in tho Constitu-
ton Of Wisconsin, ho could not leave the
District.
On this, Mr. Chismsn handed Mr. Potter
peremptory challenge from Mr. Pryor. da-
ting his note Virginia.
Colonel Lander, Mr. Potter's friend, nc
cepted the challenge, naming common bowie
knives as the weapons, and to fight in open
cir, with two friends, each armed with Colts
pistols.
Mr.. Chsman protested against this form
of weapon as absurd, barbarous and vulgar,
but was willing to construe the code in the
most liberal way, provided other arms was
suggested.
Potter authorized Mr.. Lander to decline
any other terms, and Mr.. Lander offered to
substitute himselffor Mr. Potter, with other
weapons, to which propositions, without con-
sulting Mr. Pryor, Mr.. Chisman, (Mr. Hind
mans substituted, replied that the first is
vulgar and inadmissaole, and that they have
no cause of quarrel with Mr.. Lander.
We learn the result of this difference of
opinion as to the proper weapons has been
to put an end to the whole matter.
From the proceedings of Congress. as re-
ported, there was no just cause for Mr.. Pryor
taking offence at what Mr.. Potter said; under
such circumstances we think it showed Il
want of genuine courage, to refuse to fight
because Of the weapons Mr.. Potter chose, and
as to the chsrge of vulgarity and inhumani-
ty, in the choice Of the weapons, we cannot
see how it applys, for in our estimation, it is
just as vulgar and inhuman to shoot a man
with pistol, as to cut him down with
bowie knife. We are pleased to find that
the professed duelist, Pryor, has been COM
PEELED to back down. and we hope that here
after be win give up the vulgar practice of
challenging men to mortal combat.
Both gentlemen have again appeared in
tbs House. ....

Are we Returning to Barbarism.

For weeks and even months, thousands in
England and America have been all excite
ment about an anticipated prize fight. The
newspapers have been full Of it. The picto-
rial sheets have crowded their pages with
most puerile and ridiculous cuts, represent
ing the champions, their different exercises,
their places of training, even to their 'ecep-
ton by the different artists who like cringing
spaniels followed their footsteps.
The whole thing is disgraceful and dis
gushing, and the manner in which 1t IS re-
ceiyed. and the interest taken in it, show
plaiply that even in our land, and age OF
civilization, we nave the scum of a past bar
barism floating about in society. Perhaps
our civilization has eliminated and we are
now on the descending scale. The civiliza-
ton of Egypt, Carthage, and Babylon went
back to barbarism, and so may ours, unless
Christianity arrests its progress. We were
accustomed to look upon the Bull fights OF
Spain with horror, as the relics of darker
age.
The Gladiator;
Butchcred to make Roman holiday, used
to excite pity for himself and indignation a.
gainst those for whose amusement he was
compelled to bleed.
But the encouragement given to prize
fighters shows that we are not far from the
revival of the cruel scenes Of the Roman cir
Gus and the bloody sports of degenerate
Spain.
Are we drifting back to barLarisIn With
Heenan and Sayers, brutes in human form
the heroes Of the day--with an American
Congress displaying scenes that would dis
grace pow-wow Of Indians with Nor
monism battening in its pollution on our Dor
dcrs and scarcely enough national virtue
left to crush OFT its denominations, we may
well treInblc for religion and civilization a.
mong us, and sincerely ask the question, are
we going back again to barbarism?
