Important from Turkey.

The New York World has correspon.
dence from Beyrout to July 18th, and Com
stantinople to oath. In the latter city,
serious outbreak had occurred between the
Protestant Armenians and mob, touching
the right of the former to the use of bury
ing ground The disturbance lasted five
days, in spite of the efforts of the ministry
of war, together with the Armenian Patri-
arch, assisted by several thousand troops.
The correspondent says
Since this disturbance was quelled, the
Protestants have been driven from two
other quarters of the city by mobs, and to
prevent further outbreak the government
had SUSPENDED Protestant worship. The
Turkish government, however, denies that
Professionalism was really at the bottom of
the outbreak, but that it was got up under
Russian influence, for the purpose of caus,
ing collision between the soldiers and the
Christian population. A meeting had been
held of Protestant ambassadors, who sent
an earnest and decisive protest to the
Porte. On the day following this protest,
the American residents Of Constantinople
received formal notice from their minister to
move with the greatest caution, as further
disturbance was imminent

The Democratic press of the seven north
western States stands as follows:

We have carefully compiled the above
table; and although there may be some
omissions, we believe it correctly presents
the proportion of Douglas and Secession
papers. The eighteen Breckenridge papers
in the northwest merely represent eighteen
corrupt and unprincipled editors men who
for post Offices, collectorships, and land Of
fees, have sold out their manhood 10 the
old tyrant at Washington. Look at this
State for instance the five Breckenridge
papers are published and edited by the
pimps of Buchanan and Rice. Not one
of them represents the views of fve-hun.
dreth part of the Democracy in the locali-
ties in which they are published. One of
the greatest humiliations of the printing and
publishing business, to every honest man, is
to be found in the corrupt scoundrels who
occasionally get control Of types and pres
ses, to play the hunkey and revilor for un-
principled public men, or to sell their SER
vices, as in the case mentioned yesterday, to
the highest bidder.

seen the accounts from the English Consul
At Damascus (Mr. Brant,) and also letters
from some of the missionaries there. They
all agree in the horrible consequences to be
apprehended. Poor MIR. Graham, an Eng
l'sh missionary there, was seen to fall
wounded, and is supposed to be dead. No
church, not Christian house, remains in
Damascus. From the news received yes

tor themselves, as they protected many
Christians, and are looked upon by the
fanatics as no true believers. Beside all
this, horde of Bodouins and Arabs, assist
ed by the Druses and the Moslem mob. have
begun such work as promises to level the
whole of Damascus with the ground. In
the castle 10000 Christians are shut up;
but, if they are not killed, they will die of
hunger in few days. 1t is impossible to
estimate the number of persons killed, but
from all accounts up to yesterday there can.
not be less than 1000. + \ The
Russian, Austrian, and Belgian Consulates
at Damascus are all burnt. and several at
tempts have been made to burn the French.
Up to the latest news the English Consul
was safe, but as things are going on do not
think his life is worth much. The church
of Terra Santa is burnt, and all the fathers
killed. A large number of persons have
taken refuge in the house of Abd-el-Kader,
who has armed about 1000 of his Mogra-
bins, and promises to protect the Christians
to his last drop of blood.
All the European powers have agreed
upon Convention, for joint interference to
protect the Christians, and suppress disor-
ders in Syria.

N RIGINAL POPULAR SOVEREIGNTY ADvO-
CATE.

0 the 9th day of February, 1o49, a
bill to establish Territorial government
for Upper California was under considera-
tion in the House of Representatives. The
question being on agreeing, in Committee
of the Whole House on the state of the
Union, to the 18th section of the bill, the
following, among other proceedings were
had:
Mr.. Green moved to amend the 18th.
section by striking out in the second line the
works shall be- and inserting ARE
"He said his object in proposing this
amendment was simply to set the rights of
the people of that Territory in their proper
light before this House and before the countru.
1t was asserted by gentlemen from the
North and from the South, OF both political
parties, that the people of "a Territory WERE
ENTITLED to the rights, privileges, and im-
munities of american citizens. He proposed
therefore, to strike out the words shall be-
because they implied the power on the part
of Congress to confer these rights; that thew
emanated from this body, and were NOT
rights e1isting as the peculiar INHERENT
RIGHTS of american citizens.
Let them legislate understandingy on
all these points. Let them say to the people
OF the Territories, You are true 44merican
citizens; you haze the rights of american
citizens; aDe pretend not to confer those rights
upon you. 1t was asserted by some that the
people of the Territories could exercise no
power, except it was conferred upon them.
1t was asserted, on the other hand, that they
had certain inherent rights. If Congress
held that they had the inherent rights of
self>government, the rights of American citi-
zens, let them NOT PRETEND to confer those
rights upon them; let them so word this Sec
ton, that after-generations could understand
their legislation, and all see that they recog-
nased the inherent right of the people to gov-
erm Themselves according to the principles of
universal liberty.
"IHOSE PRINCIPLES MUST BE ESTABLISHED;
and whatever might be the action of this
House to-day, whatever might be the action
of Congress for years to come, these princi-
piles yere taking root, they aOould grow and
strengthen until their existence should be rec
ognised and appproved, NOT ONLY IN THE
STATES BUT IN THE TERRITORIES; and in the
furthest extremities of this Union, wherever
an American citizen was found, B1GHrs OF
ELF.GovERNMENr vould be Acknowledged.
He offered this amendment, not for the pur-
pose of producing excitement, not to stir up
feeling, but because he believed it acas IN

Breckinridge if he continues in the field
will not receive as many electoral votes as
did White-if indeed be receives any at all.
MISSOURI AND KENTUCKY.
Eighty-four counties in Kentucky give
Leslie Coombs 25,84l majority over NJ
CLARITY, Breckenridge, and 1866 over all
candidates.
The St. Louis Republican of August 9th,
says Henderson, Democrat, is defeated for
Congress in the I'd District, by 249 votes.
As far as heard from, Jackson leads Orr,
for Governor, $500 votes
The result of the election in these two
states has entirely CT ushed out the spirit of
the Breckinridge leaders at Washington
They are Respondent dropping as weeping
willows over the misfortunes attending their
Secession. They hoped to beat Jackson in
Missouri, and elect M CLARITY in Kentucky !;
but in both calculations they have been dis
appointed.
We believe an attempt will be now made
at the south, to withdraw Breckinridge, and
unite the party upon Douglas and that
such movement will be supported by the
conservative men of the south, who have
hitherto acted with the Seceders, but that
it may be defeated-we do not say will-by
the Office holders of the north-Old Bucks
serfs-and the Yancey disunionists of the
south.
Every day, Democrats, the prospect
brightens for Douglas election by the peo-
pie.
TEXAS FOR DOUGLAS.
Advices from Texas indicate that it will
vote for Douglas and johnson, or most cer~
tainly against the disunion candidate. Hon.
A. j. Hamilton, the Democratic member of
Congress from the I'd district, spoke at
Austin on the 25th. After discussing local
topics at some length, be turned to the con-
sideration of the political issues involved in
the present canvass. We find the following
abstract of his remarks:
Mr.. Breckenridge he called the candidate of
the Democratic Secessionists. Mr.. Douglas. on
the other hand, was the nominee of the Nation
al Democracy. He had not changed his posi-.
tion since 1850, and was the only reliable Union
man before the people. Mr.. Hamilton's next
choice was Gen. Houston, and his third, Col.
Bell. If compelled to choose between Lincoln
and Breckenridge, he would reluctantly support
