When Parson Brownlow will Join
the Democrats.

An Arkansas spondent who proba-
bly, wanted to ''wake up' Rev, Mr.. Brown
low of the Knoxville Glenn } Wing wrote
to rhe latter stating that he had learned
with pleasure upon what che considered re-
liable authority" that Mr.. Brownlow was
about to join the Democrats and asked for
the probable date Of that interesting occur
renee. Mr.. Brownlow gave the date, or at
least data for the date, as follows
KNOXVILLE, Aug. 8, 1860.
Mr.. JORDAN C1ARK.---I have your letter of
the 3Oth ult and hasten to let you know
the precise time when expect to come out
and formally announce that | have joined
the democratic party. When the sun
shines at midnight, and the moon at midday,
when man forgets to be selfish Or democrats
lose their inclinations to steal-when nature
stops her onward march to rest, or all the
water courses in America flow up stream
when flowers lose their odor. and trees shed
no leaves-when birds talk, and beasts of
burden laugh-when damned spirits swap
hell for heaven, with angels CT light, and
pay them the boot in mean whisky-when
impossibilitics are in fashion, and no propo-
sition is too absurd to be believed, you NAV
credit the report that I have joined the
democrats !
JOIN the Democrats Never, so long as
there are sects in churches-wee in gar
dens-heas in hog pens-dirt in victuals-
disputes in families-wars with nations
water in the ocean-bad men in America.
or base women III France No, Jordan
Clark, you may hope-you may congratu-
late-you may reason-you may sneer-
but that cannot be. The thrones of the
Old World-the Court of the Universe
the governments of the world, may all fall
and crumble into ruin-the New World
may commit the national suicide of dissolv-
ing this Union, but all this must occur be-
fore join the democracy
join the democracy Jordan Clark
you know not what you say-when [ join
the democracy, the Pope of Rome will join
the Methodist Church-wben Jordan Clark,
of Arkansas, is Pr sident Of the Republic of
Great Britain, by universal suffrage of a
contented people-when Queen Victoria
consents to be divorced from Prince Albert
by county court in Kansas-when Con-
gress obliges, by law, James Buchanan to
marry a European Princess-when the
Pope leases the Capitol at Washington, for
his city residence-when Alexander of
Russia, and Napoleon of France are cleo
ted Senators from New Mexico-when
good men cease to &c to heaven, or bad
men to hell-when this world is turned up
side down-when proof is afforded, both
clear and unquestionable, that there is no
God-when men turn to ants, and ants to
elephants, | will change my political faith,
and come out on the side of democracy
Surprising that this full and frank let
ter will enable you to fix upon the period
when I will come out a full grown demo-
erat, and to communicate the same to all
whom it may concern in Kansas,
Ihave the honor to be, &C..

plying much less room than organ.

change in the weather or temperature.

Douglas says that slaves are property.
Democrats generally say the same thing.
And yet in the Congressional apportion-
ment, five negroes are counted at the South
as equal to three white men. If the pro-
position of our Democratic friends be cor
rect, and if slaves be nothing but chattels,
why should not the horses and cattle at the
North be counted also? In this matter,
it is clear that the South has an undue ad-
vantage. Their property is not placed on
a par with that of the North, for while
ours is not represented, theirs is.
But saying nothing about the equities
of the case, the question arises: Is it good
policy to encourage the spread of property
such as theirs over the country Abraham
Lincoln thinks not. Stephen A. Douglas
thinks the reverse One does not want to
see Slavery extended another foot, the
other does not ''care whether it is voted
up, or voted down" The people in Novem-
Der, will be called upon to say which of
these men occupies the true ground.

There seems to be little clashing
between Messrs. Douglas and johnson.
While Douglas is holding himself up here
at the North, as the patentee and exclusive
owner of the doctrine of Squatter Sovereign
ty, his associate ON the ticket is talking
down South in this wise
Judge Douglas has been misrepres
and misunderstood at the South. He asser-
ted positively that Judge D. was not in "a
ror Of Squatter Sovereignty, and in proof
read from his speech in February 1856,
where he took the ground that the Terri
tories derived all their powers from the
Constitution under their organic acts. He
read from the same speech that slavery in
the Territories stands precisely on the same
footing with all other property, and the
people have the same right to legislate as
upon other property, no more and no less.
That is what he said in speech at Sa-
vannah Ga. on the 30th of July. This
never will do. These gentlemen must tell
tie same story. 1t does not look we'll for
Douglas to parade himself at the North as
in favor of a principle that johnson saws at
the South he is opposed to. They should
get together and compare notes at once.
They might then be enabled to whistle the
same tune

Gov. Seward at Madison.

The question as to when Gov. Seward
is to speak at Madison is at last definitely
settled. The Chairman of the Republican
State Central Committee gives notice that
the day fixed upon is Wednesday, Sept.
18th. The Madison Journal, in speaking
of the meeting says that the Committee
have also invited Hon. Schuyler Colfax, of
Ind, and Cassius NJ. Gay of Kentucky,
to be present at the same time and address
the people. As to the facilities offered
for getting there, the Journal says that a
train will leave Milwaukee on the morning
of the 18th, and arrive at Milton at about
1l:l5 A. NJ, at which point trains from
the North and South on the Northwest
ern road will connect, and proceed to
Madison.
We presume that an excurs sion train will
also be run on the Mil. Wat. & Baraboo
Valley Road, from here

evening. His speech was received by the
large number present, with great applause,
as his efforts in that line always are.
He leaves next week to resume his la
bors in Indiana, and goes thence to Penn
sylvania. The accounts he gives Of the
prospects wherever he has travelled, are
encouraging and indicate that Lincoln anc
Hamlin stock is rising higher and higher
every day.

Douglas said in Rhode Island that be
thought more of clarns than he did of ne
groes. In Virginia he probably will assert
that he thinks more of negroes than he does
of clans. Unless he does, the F. F. VS.

politely
