Some suppose that the President will rec

MIR. Douglas Choice for Prcsi.
dent.

Mn. DoUoLAs. in his Atlanta, Georgia,
speech, stated that ALEXANDER Ii. STE.
rHESs was his first choice for the Presi-
dency. We quote below what he says on
tho subject:
1t is well known that stood ready and
anxious to withdraw my name at any mo-
meut that it would restore harmony by
nominating a sound man on the Cincinna-
ii platform. (Applause.) And will
now state, what no man before has known.
and what once stated will astonsh the
person alluded to more than any one in
this assemblage. Pending the Conven-
tion | wrote letters to my friend Richard
son, at Baltimore, urging that if they wo'd
only stand by the Cincinnati platform and
accept Southern man on that platform
i implored him to consult our friends
and get them to accept Alexander Ii
Stephens as tho man. Tremendous ap-
plause.) Tho sceessionists knew that
proposed to withdraw my name, and unite
upon true non Intervention man, before
they seeded at Baltimore. They seeded
with knowledge Of the fact, that | was
not asking nomination, but was simply
fighting battle for principle. Cheers.
Now, for an evidence Of the fact that
they knew l was so ready to withdraw.
although they did not know who would
be nv choice il did. nor did he (point-
ing to Mr.. Stephens, ever dream of it up
to this hour. AS an evidence Of tho fact.
telegraphic dispatches were sen. off on
Friday night. ten or fifteen hours before
the bolt. announcing that Douglas had
written letters to Baltimore withdrawing
his name and going for Southern man.
{ (Applausc.) Those dispat chcs were sent
Ly the socedors to all portions of tho coun,
try. and tho files of tho daily papers Of
that day will attest the fact.

The Effects Of the Election Of n
Sectional President.

The election of Lincoln. by the Abol-
itionists and factionists Of the Northern
States. has already created a revolution
in the prosperous commerce of the coun'
try that has never been equalled. Pro-
duce dealers are quitting their operations,
exchange in the West has risen from to
per cent, foreign exchange which was at
. per cent premium in New York has fallen
TO par, banks sre breaking all over the
country, wheat has declined SO cents on
the bushel, cloversced has wentdown one
dollar on tho bushol, and other kinds OF
produce have suffered like decline And
this oil in consequence Of tho continued
Northern aggrcssions upon the rights and
property of their Southern neighbo;s for
no one can close his eyes to tho fact that
it is the secession movement in the South
consequent upon tho election of Lincoln,
that has caused the panic, and wo fear tho
worst is not yet upon us.

store Robbed.

On Saturday night last tho store of
Everett d Knisely. in this place, was en-.
tered through back window. and over
$1,000 worth of silk goods stolen. The
goods taken were of the most costly kind
consisting of some II or l3 pieces OF
dress silks. principally black silks, three
or four pieces only being Of other colors,
pound or two Of sewing silk. silk hand
kerchiels. silk neckties. &e. The robbers
it seems, had no particular desire to en-.
cumber themselves with common goods.
aud, therefore. left all other articles un-
touched, excepting pair of good boots
which tho thief. or one of them. hel ped
himself to. No clue has yet been obtain
cd of the plunderers.
Merchants will begin to find out after a
while that good rooms and substantial
fastenings are necessity in these degen-
crate days. Mew Philadelphia Demovrat,

Alarming ana Exciting News
from Kansas,

The news from Kansas Of the opera
tions Of the notorious Capt. Montgomery
and his men in the Southern part of tn;
Territory, will startle the whole country
He is one of the John Brown men, and d
isvcrite with the Republican politicians
of tho United States. Judge Williams
is gentleman of high character and in
telligence, and the statement he makes
may be implicitly relied on.
The Cincinnati Commercial, alarmed
lest its party may be damaged because O
this new development of Republicanism
in Kansas, offers manufactured excus,
for the hendish excesses Of Montgomery,
and suggest that the object may bo to dis
persc the federal officers and thus proven,
the land sales to take place at Fort Scott
in December.
That is all prctext. II will be found
that Montgomery has been making prep
arations for his murderous work for some
time, and that material aid has boen fur.
nishcd him from the East. That aid has
gone out under the garb Of relief for Kan
sas, and Montgomery's operations and
slaughter arc commenced in the very To-
cality where we have boen told the suffer
ing and starvation exist.
We have been informed by Gov. Mo.
Diary that there is no oxaggeration as tc
the extent Of the means and men of Mont.
gomery. The executive OF Kansas has
had information Of the fact that Mont
gomery has, for some time. been medta
ting some object Of suspicious charac'
ter. He had strengthened his fort, and
had, it is believed, run away negroes har.
bored there.
1t is difficult to predict what calami
ties are in store for our country. The ia
tai mistake made by the people, in elect
ing, on the 9th OF November, q sectional
President, has already brought pecuniary
ruin on the country. and now we have to
record the Inauguration of civil war il
a distant Territory.
1t will become the conservative peopl
in all the States Of the Union, to excr
else their powers to put down sectional
ism. or our happy form of governmon
will be aSsuredly rent in twain.-,States

A Sensible Measure.

A motion was made in the Legislature
Of Vermont few days since. to repeal the
Personal Liberty Notification Law. The
proposal was received with favor, and re-
ferred to the Judiciary Committee. and
hopes are entertained that tho obnoxious
law will DO repealed. Vermont is the
most intense Republican State in the Uni
on, and the Legislature is nearly all Re-
publican. This looks as if the party had
become alarmed at tho condition Of the
the country, caused by its NAL action. aud
intend to take step backward in the di,
yection Of peace and harmony.

More Of the Fruits.

The practical workings of Black Re-
publicanism are developing themselves
every day. On Friday last. some forty
negroes from Virginia. who had been EN-
ancipated. passed down tho Cincinnati,
Wilmington and GAINESVILLE Railroad to
Washington, Fayette county, Ohio, where
provision had been made for their future
residence. Scarcely week passes which
does not add to the negro population of
Ohio, and the superanuated, emancipated
Slave labor Of the South is brought into
competition with the white labor of the
State. Such is the legitimate result of
the system of legislation advocated and
carried ont by the Black Republican par
ty of Ohio and tho Northern States,
