cage. lie said that forty or more members
are interested in this subject, and until the
members so report it was impossible for the
Sergeant-at-Arms to balance his report.
Mr.. Burnett saw no necessity for the pas
sage OF the resolution. If some members
have refused or failed to make a report, it
was because they had reported at previous
Congress, and are now living at the same
places. the distance travelled being the same
now as then.

THE BEST PLACE TO EMlGRATE To.--Ihe
Concord IN. IL Standard says "lirginia is
the best place to emigrate to, in preference
TO any other section of the country. 1t Is a
land inhabited by noble souls and generous
hearts, land Of pairiots-a land we long
have sought-and if we should ever leave
the cold climate ofour native hills, we should
go to Virginia." Though we say it, that
should not Sayit, the Standard is about right.
Gently putting aside its compliment t" her
people. we do insist upOi. it that no where
within the same compass on this mundane
sphere. has a bountiful Providence heaped
m re blessings for all the ends of human ex
istence and human greatness, than are to be
fund ia this oul own our native State of
Virginia. -Nortok Herald,

us want no discipline; make no delay. Upon the

preservation of our Constitution and the safety of

neither ashamed nor afraid to vote for those can

have attested their devotion to their country on

THE CANVASS
Haynes. PeEton and Polk.

ATHENS, Tenn. Nov. lst 1850.
Filters Union and american:
DEAR SIEs Yesterday was proud and glorious
day for the Democracy of McMnn. The announce
ment that Col. Haynes is to speak always secures
good crowd A large company of Union loving men
who intend to vote for Breckenridge and Lane rode
up to the hotel at which Col. Haynes was stopping
Three cheers were proposed for Breckinoidge and
Lane and the Union under the Constitution also
three more for Landon c. Haynes, and it would
have done you good to have heard the loud shouts
that went up on that occasion They made the very
wel1in ring.
Col Haynes led of yesterday in one of the most
argumentative, convincing and eloquent speeches to
which it has ever been our privilege to listen He
showed as clear as a sunbeam that the Squatter
Sovereign doctrine of Judge Douglas leads to the
breaking down of all law and order and leaves
your right Of property at the discretion Of major
ity Of the people of Territory. And of course if
that majority be against certain species of proper
ty in our midst they exclude it, thereby conflicting
with the right to be protected in the use and enjoy
ment of our property, one of the rights for which
government was formed. Col. Haynes spoke of the
humbug cry of disunion raised against the Demo
cratic party as being only sufficient to brighten
weak minded men, and nervous old women who
had smoked themselves into a second childhood
He wanted to know if the daring and brave Tonnes
scans were to be scared by men running about
through the country crying out ~ ancey,"
1t would be useless for me to undertake to follow
Col Haynes in his speech or to describe the effect
upon the audience. Suffice it to say that the fire.
quen and loud outbursts of applause which greeted
him during his speech fairly rent the air. We are
proud of Haynes. He Is gallant champion of a
noble cause.
| Major Polk next took the stand and told some
anecdotes but he put me in mind of the olden time
when every noble lord had his jester. suppose
Peyton takes him around to make fun for him. The
| Know-Nothings here think that he is marvellous
proper man, but nearly all of them viii vote for
John Bell, the flee the country and gag-law can
didate. Some of them who have the courage to
break of party shackles win vote for Breckenridge
and Lane to save the country from the dark curses
of Abolitionism.
! After Major Polk had concluded Col Peyton next
assembled the stand. think he must be very much
exercised for fear that Yancey will dissolve this
| glorious Union
The day passed off triumphantly for Democracy,
and the boys went home perfectly exultaut hollow
ing for Breckinridge and Lane the Union under the
Constitution, and our glorious standard bearer Hon
Landon c. Haynes McANN.

sentiment of tho Bell Party in Georgia

The entire staple of the arguments used by the
BELL speakers and press in Tennessee against BRECK
NRIDGE has been disunion and secession 1t has
been constantly rung in the ears of the voters of
this State that the more Southern supporters of Mr.
BRECKISRDGE would favor dissolution of the Union
in the event of LINCoLN's election. We have more
than once produced evidence to show that such
the prevailing sentiment of the South, and not con-
fined to any one party.
The Savannah Republican is the leading BELL and
EVERETT paper in Georgia. Ittakes different view
of the probable effects of the election of LINCOLN,
and the duty of the South from that taken by the
advocates Of BELL and EVERETT IN this State. We
present below extracts from the Republicans article
and commend them to the attentive perusal of the
members of that party of which the Republican is
the ablest and most prominent organ at the South.
Quoting the New York Herald's report of Hon. a.
b STEPHENS declaration that the election of In
colin would be followed by the united resistance of
the South. The Republican says:
Reluctantly as we say it, we are impressed with
the firm conviction that Mr.. Stephens, in the Ian
guage we have quoted, has spoken the truth-the
naked unvarnished truth. 1t matters not with the
Southern people how conservative Mr.. Lincoln may
be, or whether his administration would be free
from oppression OF ne lS repre-
sentative and the head of purely sectional party,
and one the sole bond of whose union is hostility
the domestic institutions of their brethren of the
South. The election of such man, and the eeva-
ton of such party to the rulershp over is, in
our candid judgment, obliged to be disastrous to
every section Of the confederacy. All men at the
South may not favor disunion a remedy, CT a re-
tallation but we tell our Northern friends that the
sentiment of disaffection and the sense of wrong
will be universal We shall feel it, deplore it,
writhe under it, and though peace and union may
be preserved what is such peace aud such a union
worth? With no place in the hearts of the people,
the outward exhibition of mere prudential consider
atoms within, how weak and impotent must be the
sentiment TO resist the first bOw of passion, the
first ground Of disruption, whether imaginary or
real! There may be a state of things within the
Union as bad as disruptonitself. Canthe Northern
mind not grasp this idea and lay it to heart We
pray God that it may, and that it will do so in time
TO save us from the breakers ahead. Throw US not
into strife and revolution with brethren at
home; for when that comes we shall all be of one
mind and one heart. The Rubicon will have been
passed. and common cause will be the cement of a
united Southu

How the Hrcckinridge Mon Voted I'm
Indianu,

The Evansville llnd) journal Q.NCoLN) saws:
I'VE can demonstrate to a certainty. that not only
did the Breckenridge not vote for Lane but that
Hendricks ran ahead of Law throughout the Dis
trict We have the official tables from all the conn
ties of the District except twO-Martin and Dayiess
In the eight remaining counties we find thar / au
got II III votes: Hendricks 1913 Thus it will he
seen that Hendricks ran 202 ahead of Law in cirht
counties DeBruer's personal popularity will ac
count for this loss of Law. Judge Law managed
10 trim boat" so Skfully that he got the Breckin
ridge vote, mostly Yet Hendricks ran ahead of
him as above, and Of course must have got most of
the Breckenridge vote.
..Rut another comparison will show that we re-
carved no aid from the Breckenridge men in the late
election We now make comparison between the
,otas of Hendricks and Cunningham, candidates for
Treas,,rer of State on the Democratic ticket. Mr.
CUNNINGHAM is really believed to be Breckenridge
man. and he is the only man on the State ticket
whom the leaders of that party hereabouts worked
for. In six counties that we have the complete off
cial tables -Vanderburgs, Spencer, Dubois,
Knox Pike and Warrick PendricEs total vote was
S72s: Cunningham's S,6S9. SO Hendricks ran
ahead of even Cunningham As in six counslesl And
in Vanderburgt. where Hendricks got I9ls votes,
Cunningham only got sea Of course the Brees-
inridge men could not have even scratched Hen
bricks name to any great extent, much less could
they have voted for Lane. That we received little
or no hello from them in this county and District Is
very evident; neither did we in the state gener-
ailvv
