Douglas Fling at "Niggers.

Despairing of receiving the electoral vote
ola Southern State, the Squatter Sovereignty
candidate is stumpping it in the abolition
States of New England, striving to curry fa-
vor with the fanatics of that section by his
advocacy of the abolition principle of Squatter
Sovereignty, and by making inyidious filings
at the South and her institutions. The follow
ing paragraph is extracted from his speech at
Rocky Point, Rhode Island. If he has any
supporters in Mississippi, we ask their atten-
ton to the portion which is italicised
g "Ladies and gentlemen, would gladly
speak again, but you see from the tones ofmy
voice that am unable to. This has been a
happy, glorious day. / shall never forget
it. There is charm about this beautiful day,
about this sea air, especially about that pc.
culiar institution of yours-a clam-bake.
think you have the advantage in that respect

for their niggers. But every man to has taste.'

GENTLEMEN PROFOUNDLY grateful as am

leave to say a single word to you. THE

MOCRACY ARE COOPERATING WITH
US MOST MANFULLY, AND WEMUST
HEREAFTER CONSIDER THEM AS
BRETHREN. a
We can all stand on the platform Of 1852
recognizing the Compromise of 1850. Here
after go for the Union, the Constitution and
the Enforcement of the Laws. There need
be no question for criticism as to the past, but
perfect harmony in combating the common
enemy hereafter. e., both sectional parties
hope the press on both sides will take thi'
ground. The Yancy. .Breckinridge Disun-
ionists have only received their first rebuke-
mild and gentle, compared to the future. Ihes
are doomed.

senal claims to the confidence of the people.

What They. Said one Year Ago.

On the Goth of June, 1859, the Opposition
party in the Atlanta District, (Ga.) had a
meeting at Newman for the purpose of NOM
mating a candidate for Congress from that
District. In the platform of principles adopted
for the government Of the party in that can
vass, was incorporated the following resolu-
ton:
"4th. That the South has nothing to hope
for from the Republican and Democratic par
ties, and true devotion to the welfare of our
own section requires us to oppose both and
that this Convention will neither endorse
sympathize nor affiIiate with, the squatteI
sovereignty policy of Stephen A. Douglas, OF
the FREESOIL AFFINITIES OF BELL
.CRITTENDEN AND HOUSTON, AND
ALL OTHERS WHO OPPOSED THE
ADMISSION OF KANSAS UNDER THE
LECOMPTON CONSTITUTION.
Thus did the Southern Oppositionists one
year ago, denounce John Bell for his ''freesoi
affinities.'' Win the rank and file of that
party now permit their leaders to gull them
into supporting him for the Presidency?

NUMBER SO.
Douglas in Favor of Internal Improve
ment by the General Government.

Even if Douglas had not meritcd the op-
position of all true Democrats by his conied-
eracy with Seward & Co, during the Kansas
struggle, and his advocacy of the anti-slavery
principle of Squatter Sovereignty, his record
on this question is such as to render him ex-
ceedingly Objectionable to Democrats of the
strict construction school, as candidate for
the Presidency.
1t is we'll remembered that when Presi-
dent Polk sent in his celebrated message as
signing his reasons for vetoing an unconsti-
tutional internal improvement scheme, that
Douglas, who was then member of the
House of Representatives, bitterly and fierce
ly assailed it.
AT the last session of Congress true 10 his
antecedants he was the warm advocate ofsim-
| liar schemes which met their deserved fate in
the veto of the patriot President Mr.. Buch-
anan. Among these, may be mentioned the
bill for deepening the channel over ST. Clair
Flats, Michigan, by which it was proposed to
use the means in the National Treasury, fur
nished for the most part by the producers Of
the South, to accomplish purely and section
al object in which she could have no possible
interest
The following is a short extract from the
official proceedings:
ST. CLAIR FLATS.
Mr.. Chandler / move that Senate Bill
No haf fol- {,
day for its consideration.
Mr.. Clay. What bill is it /?
Mr.. Chandler, The bill for the deepening
the channel over the ST. Clair flats move
that it be made the special order for Thursday
at one O'Clock, if there be no special order for
that day.
The Presiding Officer The first question
is on taking up the bill. Al. ... fas
Mr.. Chandler called for the yeas and nays ::
and they were ordered and, being taken, re-
sulted-yeas %, nays 90, as follows:
Ieas.-Messrs. Anthony, Bingham Chand-
Ter, Clark, Colamer, Crittenden, Dixon. Doo-
little, DOUGLAS, Durkee, Ftsseadea, Foster,
Grimes, Hale, Ham7ia, Harlan, King, Sum

kansas, johnson OF Tennessee, Latham, Mallo-
ry, Mason, Nicholson, Pearce, Rice, Sauls-,
bury, Sebastian, Slidell, Toombs, and Yulee.
20.
Thus it is to be seen that among the many
qualities presented by the Senator from IIi
nois, whereby the South is to be cheated, this
one relating to the Improvement ofharbors and
rivers should be remembered, and this is one
OF the many reasons, we suppose, why his
completely with the abolitionsts is to be over
looked, and he is to be rewarded by Southern
support,

MoKELUMNA HILL, CAL.,(
July 20, 1860.
EDITOR OF MIssIss1PpIAN To the true
Democracy California sends greeting, promis-
ing to roll up majority of from fifteen to
eighteen thousand against the Douglasites
and Black Republicans, both together. The
people are already aroused on the subject.
Arriving since the Charleston Convention
from the Atlantic, and being at first met by
time-serving politicians, I was rendered dis
consulate in having been led to believe that
this State would blindly support whatever the
original Convention would do. These politi-
clans believed me not when l told them that
unless some satisfactory amendment was
made to the Cincinnati platform all the South
ern States would withdraw. Since the action
has been taken, many of them, in the full be-
lief that the people would support what they
claim as the regular nominations, have de-
clared themselves for Douglas. Unfortunately
we have had those in our ranks whose feel
ings have not been with us. OF these we arr
now free. From tunnels and gulches, from
ranches and workshops, have the people come
forward, rebuking these aithless men, anC
with load acclaim ratifying the nominations
of Breckinride and Lane. They cannot SCI
why last year they should oppose Dougla
and his odious heresies, and this year Civ
adherence to them.
Have then no fears about our State. He
voice will always be heard in behalf of tn
constitutional rights of all the States. Th
Union she fondly desires, but only Consti
tutionaI Union, maintaining equally the right
of every State. Again, / repeat, fear not fc

John Bell and the Mexican War


While John G. Breckenridge and Joe Lane
were gallantly fighting the battles OF their
country in Mexico, John Bell was the occu.
pant of a seat in Congress, giving .said and
comfort" to the enemy, by denouncing the
war as unjust and unrighteous on the part Of
the q. s. Government, and by voting against
appropriations for prosecuting it. In the con-
clusion Of his famous speech against the Ter
Regiment Bill, he used this language:
"Sir, ifany should now desire to know nv
poor opinion upon the proper mode oftermi.
mating this war, say to them to make the
best treaty with the existing government,
you can. If you must have the territories O
New Mexico and California, get . cession o
them if you cannot do that, come back to tn,
Rio Grande, to the boundary you claim title
to, and thus saue your honor.
My. advice is, stop the soar FLEE THE coUN
TRY AS YOU WOULD CITY DOOMED TO DE

Let the people choose between the autho
of this language who voted against supplies 70

the battles Of their country. a

Hon. JAMES e. MATTHEws.-We are glad
to learn that this veteran, true-hearted and
untaltering Democrat, is battling bravely in
the present contest, as ever before, for the true
faith. In the course Of private letter Of a
very recent date, he sends this cheering intel
ligence touching our political prospects in De
Soto:
ain this county, the Douglasites are making
some little noise; but we are confident that
we can beat the combined vote of Douglas
and Bell, at least one hundred votes, and am
| convinced that Douglas is stronger in DeSoto
than he is in any county in the State
Though old and frail, / am actively engaged
in the canvass.
