THEN AND NOW

When Mr.. Breckinridge was Represep
tative in Congress from the Ashland Dis
trict, il Kentucky, Prentice of the Louis
vile journal, in speaking of him used the
following language
owe aseribe nothing of corruption or dis.
honor to Breckenridge himself. We believe
him to be Conscientious and honorable. as
as well as a most able man. We have been
half afraid, during the canvass, to express
full our opinion of him lest our Wing friends
in this District and elsewhere might deem
US untrue to the interest Of our party"
4 Mr.. Breckenridge is pure and
noble hearted man, and liberal minded pol.
itician, be has earned and won at home and
at Washington as high reputation for tai.
ents as belongs to any man of his age in the
United States. We do not know of anv
gentlemen we would rather see in Congress
and if he lived in Locofoco district-Linn
Boyd's for insCance-we would sincerely re.
joice in his election"
Now that he is the nominee of the Con.
stitutional Democratic party for the Presi.
dency, Prentice speaks Of him in this
wise:
"1ohn c. Breckenridge, the Candidate of
he Democrats is man that has done less
md got more from his party, than any man
u America. His talents are respectable
'nly, while his ambition is unbounded, and
lis lack of nerve the wonder of the dav
md why he should be put forward as the
eader Of the Democratic party, is something
hat excites our astonshment."
We ask Democrats as we'll as Southern
men generally, which they most admire ):
'rentice on Breckenridge while a member
t Congress, or Prentice on BIeckinridge as
lie Democratic candidate for the Presiden.

The Incendiary OutrGges IN Texas. The
Houston True Southern. Of the 2Sth ult.
has the following paragraph on this sub
ject
just as we are going to press, news has
arrived here from areliable sohrce that %
negroes have been arrested and are to be
hung in Waxahatchis to-day.
Our fellow,citizen, Mr. II. L. Cotton, in
forms us that letter was received by
Thursdays mail, by his niece in Misplace,
from Mrs. Bennett, of Austin, giving an ac'
count of fearful attempt made about the
22d inst, to reduce our capitol to heap Of
ashes. The daring experiment was made TO
set fire to some twenty-five of the prin-
cipal edifces of the city; fortunately, how
ever, the flames were discovered and extin-
guished before any serious damage had been
sustained On the night previous, the
Austin correspondent to whom we are in
debted for the intelligence we are recording,
had been keeping vigils over the sick bed Of
a friend, when she observed sheet of fame
bursting from neig hboriug house, which,
in consequence of timely warning, the citi.
zens were enable to arrest and save the
building from impending ruin
At present, says Mrs Bennett. he whole
population of the metropolis are under arms,
and laborng under the most intense ex
element, police force, consisting of from
sixty to ninety men, maintaining the strict
est system of vigilance, by night and by
day.
In all the counties visited lately by fires,
committees to investigate the subject have
been appointed, and the most efficient citizen
patrols have been established. In Grimes
county a meeting of citizens resovedt
That there is among the negroes in the
county disposition to revolt and be iusub-
ordinate that this feeling is produced by
the influence of certain white persons in the
county that it is time steps be taken to rid
the community OF these menj that preach
ing to the negroes in the county be stopped.
at least for Que year; that Northefners cons
ing into the county under pretence Of being
ministers, teachers, drummers, &C., are to
be regarded with suspicion and received
with caution that vigilance committee be
appointed, patrols organized, aud other meas.
ures for safety be taken.
A couple of suspicious strangers from
Kansas are recollected as having been seen in
Dallas two days before the fire, and day or
two aftcrward. They are thought to have
had some agency in the work Of dsstruc-
ton.

Let 20 Democrat be deceived by the cry
of the Dougasites, that Breckenridge aud
Lane have no strength in the North, and
that they can noe be elected. The truth is,
that in many Of the Northern States. large
majority of the Democracy are in favor Of
Breckinridge and Lane ana we have no
doubt that in Indiana, where the Douglas.

the majority will be the other way"

Dr.. HOLMES LETTER-We call attention to the
able and patriotic letter of DR.. Holmes. The
step he has taken is well worthy Of being follow
ed, and will be followed by many of the patri-
otto sons of the South. DR.. Holmes has for the
last FIVE years acted with the American party,
and was by them elected member to the State
Legislature, and declined re election. He gives
his own reasons for supporting Breckenridge and
Lane, and they are such as should operate upon
all who wish to preserve the Constitution and the
Union and the rights of the South. We welcome
him as a co.laborer in the good cause. We call
upon the Opposition party to read carefully and
attentively the letter, and reflect well upon it.
If they will do this, all who are not blinded by
partisan feeling, will follow his noble example
