A SOUTHERN BULLY COwED
Pryor don't Like Bowie Knives

In the House the day after the LovEJoYs
terrible philippe against Slavery and the
consequent scene of excitement, PRYOR, of
Virginia, rose to personal explanation in
which he said that Potter, of Wisconsin, had
altered the report Of the proceedings by inter-
polatng expressions not used. Potter, how
ever, claimed that he said the words published,
and declared his readiness to stand by them,
when Pryor closed the cOlloquy by an intima-
tion that PoTrER's courage would probably be
tested. The sequel is narrated in the follow
ing account, the correctness of which has been
verified by the publication of the correspond
ence:

A RABuI's OPINION ON SLAvERY.- One of the editors of the Presbyterian Witness says, that < in lS49 we crossed the Atlantic op the same vessel with Dr. Raphel then on his way to this country. It was proposed one day by an English man, that we ask him 10 give his opinion, as Rabbi, in regard to lhe lawfulness of slavery, as determined by ihe old Tes,a- mens or law of Moses. We were struck with his reply. He said the Scriptures sanctioned slavery, and then added : "There are those who do not believe in the lawfulness of slavery, but they are persons who have not been religiously educated"

Democratic County Convention-Col.
 John O. Davie Nominated for Rep
 resentative.
 By reference to the proceedings of the Democratic County Convention, which met at Brownsville on Monday last, 1t will be perceived that after several ballotlngs, in which the names of various gentlemen were resented-eilher of whom would have faithfully represented their consttu- enls in the Legislature-bu Il seemed that each township. through their delegates, had determined upon their man, and were 10th to give him up; until the name of Col. JoHN c. DAVE was presented, when with commendable unanimity he was nominated for Representative by acca- nation. This nomination seemed to heal every feeling of dissension, and the ex- pression was universal that he was the very man for the position.
 Col. DAvIE is too well known to need any special commendation from any source. He is farmer, and that class of our fel- low-ctizens know him as an upright, honorable, high-toned gentleman. His political opinions are in consonance with those of the democracy. As legislator he will command the respect of his asso- ciates, both as member of any of the committees of the House, and careful observer of the bearing of laws to be en- acted by the General Assembly.
 The masses of Prairie country hare ini the choice of Col. DAVE. one in whom they can place the most implicit confidence. Coming from amongst the honest yeo- manry-those who till the soil for live lihood-he will have no need of present. ing any :, cunning device " to allure them to his support. Having pursued consist ent course through life, both personally and politically, he will have nothing to fear from those who make it their "spe- cial calling" to decry those who, after having been called on, dare to serve the people in the ennobling capacity of Leg islator.
 It is well known that Col. DAVE has been requested frequently, heretofore, to permit his name to be used for the po- stion to which he was nominated on Monday last. But his love of home and the ill health of a member of his family, has caused him persistently to refuse the honor his friends wished to beslow upon bim In the recent convention he was nominated by acclamdtion-ihe united voice of his felow-ciiizens called upon him, and pledged him their unfalterng support. He could hardly do otherwise than accept the position so enthusiastical- ly bestowed upon him. It therefore be- hooyes every democrat in the county to use his best efforts to secure his triumph in August next. Prairie county needs representative in our next legislature who will look we'll to her interests and those of the whole State-a discriminating and in- huential man-onc who will command at home and abroad. That Col. DAVE is all that could be desired in this connection, none will deny. Let every friend to merit and straightforward honesty, rally to his support and elect him in Au- gust next by an overwhelming majority.

HoS. T. c. HISDmAS.-The re-nomi.

iIoN- |. V. iIiNDMAN.-- ne le-uOiiii- nation of this gentleman from the First District is an admitted fact-none now seem to doubt it. The .Madison Journal uses the following language:
 ," We have long and strenuously op- posed the re-nomination of Mir. Hindman, because of our disapproval of his course in the State, believing il to be disorganiz- ing in it's tendency and effects. Thus considering his course, as Democrat, We felt bound to oppose him. The Demo- cratic party Is certainly the only hope of the South to obtain her rights and by 1t, alone, may she expect to be respected as coequal with the remainder Of the Union. Fms being true, the organization of the party must be preserved, and all efforts to the contrary be discountenanced. Believ- ing Hindman's course in the State to be iaimical to firm and efficient party or. ganization, we have opposed, and still do oppose his re-nomination.
 But Hindman will doubtless be the choice of the Dover Convention, and if he should be, we, of course, are for him. We are a Convention man, and will sup port the nominee, and sincerely hope that every Democrat will do the same.
 MT. Hindman has made us a good re- presentative in Congress, and in this re- spect deserves the hearty acllnowledg- ments of his constituents. In nearly all he has done in the National Legislature, we take him by the hand, and avow his merits"
