Celebration of the Death of Old John
Brown in Massachusetts,.

Brown was hung for murder on Oct. 10th,
1853. The event was duly celebrated by his
sympathizing friends in that State on Tuesday.
The following poster appeared in WATERFOWL,
Mass, the previous day:

The following, says the Day Book, from
the Boston Courier describes a part of the
procession
Towards night the streets began to fill in
with people. The various clubs and delega-
tons, as they reached the several railroad
depots formed in order and marched towards
the Common, which was the first point of at
traction. BY seven O'Clock all the approaches
to the Common was packed with dense masses
fastening thitherward.
In the first division came the Lincoln and
Hamlin Clubs of Ward Six, composed entirely
of our eolOrea telLo,o citizens. They were
dressed in uniform, marched well, carried fine
illuminations, and made altogether a very ex-
cellent appearance. II ,oas generally conceded
that this club sgds a fine looking body of men
as there soas in the entire procession, and ttey
received hed'ty cheers and pludits from tie
c'otcds schfch lined the streets, and the ,oavinq

The Special Virginia Election.

At a special election on "Wednesday last to
fill vacancies in the Legislature, the Opposition
candidates have met with "a signal defeat at
the hands of the Breckenridge Democracy.
I'm the Chesterfield. district, Nash defeated
| Cox in closely contested race.
In the Nottaway and Amelia district, Mr..
Crump (Opposition) beats Campbell fifty.
In the Prince Edward and Luenburg dis
trict A. D. Dickinson, Breckenridge Demo-
crat, is triumphantly elected over his opponent
Mr.. r. E. Clark.
The results, though small, are evidence of
the utter insignifcance of the Douglas vote in
Virginia The election was brought on be-
fore the Presidential election in order to make
capital against the Democracy and every
effort was made, by combining the Wings
and Douglas men. to defeat tho DsrnoSrseg.
yet it has failed in every instance, except that
of Mr. Crump, who, although, the most
popular man in his county, gains only "a
votes over Goggin's vote of last year. Roll
on the ball !!
The Opposition press are taking great COM
fort from the small gain of 81 in Nottoway
and Amelia counties, when it appears that the
aggregate Of gains is greatly in favor Of the
Democracy. Virginia is regarded as certain for
Breckenridge and Lane by our friends there.

The Douglas and Black Republican
Fusion in Oregon.---Its Fruits.

( Every hour brings with it some striking
development proving how just is the univer-
sal expression Of execration which has gone
ND from the South against Stephen A.
Douglas and the corrupt and Infamous clan of
prohigate and degraded demagogues that have
attached themselves to his desperate fortunes.
The last exhibition of the complete identity OF
this man and his faction with the Black Re
publican party, was made in the Oregon
Senatorial elections, accounts of which have
but recently been received, consisted OF
thorough fusion between the contracting
narties in the legislature of that State, which
has resulted in the election Of Nesmith, a
Douglasite of the Forney sect, to the Senate
in place of the hero-statesman Gen. Lane,
and Baker, British Abolitionist of the
Greedy school, to fill vacancy which already
existed. This Baker was the late Abolition
candidate for Governor Of California, but being
Overwhelmingly defeated took refuge in
Oregon, where he would have lived forever in
retirement but for the combination with the
followers of Douglas. He now goes to the
q. S. Senate, to take his stand by the side Of
Seward, and to press on "the irrepessible
conflict,
Although this Infamous alliance has taken a
true friend of the South from the floor of the
Senate, we are not without hope that he will
be chosen, by the people of the United States,
on the 9Th of November next, to preside over
the deliberations of that body.

The Meeting in Carroll.

This meeting is one Of the most important
and significant of the times. 1t foreshadows
what is so much to be desired by all patriots
a thorough union of Southern men for the sake
OF the South, in the event of the election Of
Lincoln. The movement was spontaneous
manifestation of devotion to Southern rights
and honor, without regard to party. Upon
recurring to the proceedings, we observe that
the committees are composed of equal mum
bers of Bell and Breckenridge men. Colonel
Booth, the President of the meeting, is lead
ing member of the Constitutional Union party,
and Mr.. Helm, chairman of the committee
which reported the resolutions, was chosen to
represent the same party as the Bell elector
for the fourth district. In the list of names
we also find those of prominent and inhuen-
tial members of the Democratic party.
We hail this demonstration as the harbinger
of brighter day for the South.

T The editor has returned to his post
a1er an absence of two weeks, at the moment
almost of putting the present number of the
Mssissippian to press, and not in time, there
fore, much to his regret, of writing the Incl
dents and observations of his trip through
East Mississippi as far as Enterprise, and
NorthwaE5 to Columbus. He would like to
dwell in detail, especially upon the great
movement Of the masses Of Jasper and the
adjoining counties at Paulding on the 10th,
and at Columbus on the 23d, where one of
the grandest and most imposing demonstra-
: tons it has ever been our fortune to witness,
was given in honor of Hon. Jefferson Davief
We shall endeavor to supply this unavoidable
omission, in the next impression of our
paper. Wherever we have met the people,
they havee been found fully aroused to the
importance Of the present eventful crisis, de-
stermined to use every honorable effort to
preserve their rights and liberties and the
sovereignty of the Commonwealth of Missis-
sippi IN tM Union if possible, but out of it if
need be- The election of Lincoln will be the
signal to ninety mine out oaeyery hundred
men who ags supporting Breckenridge and
Lane, and to hundreds and thousands Of the
patriotic members of the Opposition party,
for resort to- 3ls latter alternative The
verdict of the people IS made up and it is

For the Mississppian.
Democratic Jubilee at Terry.

Saturday last was gay and glorious day
for the Democracy OF Terry. DR.. w. B.
Smart first addressed the large audience
assembled there, in most appropriate and
impressive speech-his friends insist that he
shall make himself heard at other points dur
ing the canvass.
The ladies presented the Breckenridge and
Lane men q highly wrought and beautiful
banner. Mr.. Johns of jackson, represented
them, and was responded to by Hon. Mr..
Smile in behalf Of the democrats, both gentle
men acquitting themselves in handsome style
The flag was then raised to the topmost
height of lofty pole that had been prepared
for the occasion, amidst the widest shouts for
Breckenridge and Lane. 1t floats to the breeze
to tell the devotion not only of the men but
the ladies' to the rights of the South.
Col. Hooker then addressed the audience in
speech, strong and unreasonable in argu-
Inent, eloquent in sentiment, and delivered in
that happy style SO peculiar to himself, its
telling effect was testified by the off repeated
plaudits with which it was received. A
sumptuous dinner was then partaken of after
after which Mr.. Geo. L. Potter replied Cor
rather attempted to rep;y) to Mr.. Hooker
He failed utterly to meet single point to
which he had been challenged but exhausted
himself and the audience by the most tire
some and obnoxious declarations of submis-
sion to Black Republicanism. He was not
applauded once during his speech and should
have read from the expression of his audience
the well merited rebuke Of such sentiments.
Notwithstanding the lateness of the hour
the crowd remained without diminution eager
TO hear that great fayorite Of the democracy,
Gen. Wharton, who came forward at their
earnest and enthusiastic calls for him-the
greatest applause greeted him. He mashed"
poor Potter as man was never mashed be-
ore, while the continued applause approved

candidly and eloquently in just |
Indignation Of the hateful tenor of Potter's |
peech. He convicted him to the satisfaction |
,f all present He concluded his speech |
midst the greatest applause, and the crowd
dispersed amid hurras for Breckenridge and
Iane.

Democratic Meeting in Harrison.

AT a meeting of the Democracy in Harrison,
on the 18th, after addresses by Hon. D. C.
Glenn and ]. F. Terrell, Esq, the following
resolutions were unanimously adopted
BE it resolved, That from the present aspect
Of political events, and the success of the Black
Republican party, in the Northern States-it
is the deliberate opinion of this meeting that
the time has arrived when every Southern
man, forgetting former party names and nrajn-
-dIces should come boldly forward IN defense
of the rights and honor of the South
End. That the election of Abraham Lincoln
to the Presidency, with his deep and deter
mined hostility to the institution of slavery,
will eyince determination on the part of the
North, to destroy our sacred rights, which
will warrant and Justify the Southern States,
individually and collectively, in asserting their
sovereign rights in the present Union, and in
establishing separate and independent gov
eminent.
3rd. That in event of the election of Abra-
ham Lincoln to the Presidency, we hereby re-
quest his Excellency, the Governor of Missis-
sippi, to convene the Legislature at the earliest
possible moment, to take counsel together
upon what action the State should take, and
we hereby instruct the Representative of Har-
rison county, and the State Senator from this
Senatorial district, to urge, and vote for call
of Convention of the State, to take such de-
qisive and definite action in the premises, as
will secure and maintain our equality and
rights in or out Of the Union.

To the Polls ! To the Polls !


3 This is the last opportunity which we will
shave before the election of addressing most Of
the readers oft Mississippian. The die will
seeo be cast. The great contest involving the
p fate Of the Republic will soon be decided
The scales which have long hung in fearful
equipoise, %i1 soon be turned. The appeal
to reason is exhausted. The day for action
z upon us. We are not more sure Of the
hand that pens these words than we are that
the popular sentiment in favor of Breckinrige
and Lase in Mississippi is Overwhelming.
This majority will be counted not by thous-
ands, but eyea by tens of thousands, if this
sentiment finds full utterance. Let the De-
mocracy then as they love the constitution,
the rights and the equality of the States,
rally with one heart and resolute purpose, to
the polls, and discharge their whole duty. One
day we must al give the country. Buckle
on your armor-prepare for the great battle.
.eStrike till the last armed foe expires;
strike for your affairs and your fires;
Strike for the green graf9s Of your sires;
God SzII your native land!'

A Voice from the Grave.

In.the United States Senate, in February
1889, Henry Clay concluded a speech on the
slavery question in the following words O
| wisdom"
If one dark spot exists on our political hori.
ION, is it not obscured by the bright and efful-
gent and cheering light that beams around US?
Was ever people so blest as we are, if true
to ourselves? Did ever any other nation con
tain within its bosom so many elements oil
prosperity, of greatness and of glory? Our
only danger lies ahead, conspicuous, elevated
and visible 1t was clearly discerned at the
commencement, and distinctly seen through
out our whole career. Shall we wantonly
run upon it, and destroy all the glorious anti
cipations of the high destiny which awaits us :?
beseech the aboltionists themselves to pause
in their mad and fatal course. Amid the in
finite variety of objects of humanity and be-
nevoence which invite employment Of their
energies, let them select some one more HARM
country with blood.
call upon that small portion of the clergy
which lent itself to these wild and ruinous
not to forget the holy nature Of the
divine mission of ehe founder Of our religion,
and to profit by his peaceful examples. en-
treat that portion Of my countrywomen who
have given their countenance to abolitionism,
to remember that they are ever most loved
and honored when moving in their own APP
propriate delightful sphere, and to reflect that
the INK which they shed in subscribing with
ther iar hands abolition petitions, may prove
but the prelude to the shedding of the blood of
their brethren. l adjure all the inhabitants of
the free States to rebuke and discountenance
by their opinion and example, measures which
inevitably lead to the most calamitous conse-
quences. And let us all, as countrymen. as
friends, as brothers, cherish in anfading mem
DRY the motto which bore our ancestors tri-
through all the trials Of the reyo-
luton, as, il adhered to, it will conduct their
posterity through all that may, in the dispen-
sation Of Providence, be reserved for us.

The Douglas votes were cast for Curtin
in the late Pennsylvania Election.


The Upland Union an excellent Democratic
paper, published at Media, Pennsylvania, four
days after the election, said:
1t is fact not to be denied, that the straight
out Douglas vote throughout the State has
been cast for Andrew &. Curtin, and their
sole object in November is the election Of Abe
Lincoln. They received the directions how
their vote was to be cast last Tuesday, so as
to tell most effectually, from the man they
worship, who, when he came into Pennsyl-
vania and saw that all elements opposed to
Republicanism were likely to concentrate
upon Gen. Foster and elect him, and thereby
have an entering wedge to the election in No
vember, which he well knew must enure to
the advantage of John C. Breckenridge, told
his friends, in the very first speech he made
in Pennsylvania, to have nothing to do with
the fusion, and the sequel shows how well his
followers adhere to his advice.

The On WELLS OF PENNsYLvANIA.-Th.
annexed article from the Meadville Gazette
describes one of the recent cases Of the aston
ishing flow of a natural oil which have taker
place, either spontaneously or by boring into
the earth, in various localities in Northwestern
Pennsylvania:
MORE OH AT TIDYoUTE.-By the follow
ing account Of the oil wells at Tidyoute it will
be seen that that place seems now to be the
fountain head of oildom:
The Hequemburgh well still performs its
duty, and runs its barrel per minute while it
runs; but gets exhausted at from forty to fifty
barrels, and then little time is given for the
gas to accumulate before it starts again.
Doubtless its fame has gone abroad ere this,
and further comment would be unnecessary.
On Friday last large vein of oil was struck
at the short depth of sixty-eight feet from the
surface. The gas was SO streng that it forced
the oil through this heavy body of water, and
continued to boil over until the chamber in
with the "seed bag" was let down,
and when the seed began to swell and shut off
the water, q rumbling could be heard in the
bowels of the earth like that Of distant thun-
s-SA' ouuoe4uehliyI tue SlnotHeIcu foicauO
burst forth with terrific explosion, and threw
the oil over thirty feet into the air, and dis
charged the clear oil at the rate of one barrel
per eight minutes. One hundred barrels were
nlled up Yesterday, and in the evening its
course was turned into large vat. It still
to run at the same rate.

Abolition Agents..-Let the v. C.'s
Look to Them!

The South, says the Montgomery Mail, is
infested with scores and hundreds of abolition
agents, whose business here it is to prepare our
people for the rule of Lincoln. We do not, OF
course, allude to any Of our citizens, who diff
fer about the time or circumstances of resist
ance; but we do refer to men whose sole OBJ
ject it is to entrap Southern voters into such
commitments as to prevent ever any etectual
resistance to abolitionism. These people dc
the work of the masters who send them, and
we call on Southern men everywhere to be on
their guard against them. The men who tell
YOU "Lncoln will make as good President
as any," "Lincoln won't interfere with your
rights" "The South can't live out OF the
union''-these are the men who are sent
among us, to bamboozle Southern men, and tc
manufacture bogus Southern opinion. Il
any man from the North thinks the South
cannot sustain herself, why, let him go home
where he will be in no danger. The South
is not subjugated yet!

As warning to Southern men, we copy
the following from the advertising columns Of
the Pittsburg (Pa.) Dispatch. Comment is
unnecessary. 1t is the beginning of the end;
CoLoRED MEN OF PrTTsBURG AND VIcINI-
TY.-You are requested to meet and form
yourselves into Wide Awake Clubs imme-
diately, for the purpose Of furthering the inter-
est of the human race, Abraham Lincoln. Our
colored brethren had tremendous demon
stration in Boston recently. Already New
York has spoken in favor of universal suffrage
"They Who would be free, themselves must
strike the blow." And if colored men would
have their rights, they should move for the
success of their friends. Do not leave the
Dutch and Irish to monopolize all the honor
of electng Lincoln and Hamlin. Colored men
have right to act at the polls as vigilance

Gen. Jackson on Coercion

The Union shriekerS are continually in
yoking the name Of Andrew Jackson to sus,
tain them in their twaddle about coercing a
State to submit to wrong and outrage. Gen.
jackson advocated no such absurdity, as may
be seen from the following extracts:
"Nor is our Government to be maintained,
nor cur Union preserved, by invasions of the
rights and powers of the several States. In
thus attempting to make our General Govern
ment strong we make it weak. Its true
strength consists in leaving individuals and
States as much as possible to themselves IN
making itself felt, not in its power, but IN Its
benefcence, not in its control, but IN It's pro-
lection, not in binding the States more closely
to the centre but leaving each to move unob-
structed, in its proper orbit.-JacksOn's Bank
TetO, July 10, 1882.
"But the Constitution cannot be maintained
nor the Union preserved, in opposition to
public feelings, by the mere exertion of the
ooereiUe powers confded to the General Gov
eminent. The foundations must be laid in the
affections of the people in the security it
gives to life, character, and property in every
part of the country and in the faternal at
tachment which the citizens of the several
States bear to one another as members of one
political family, mutually contributing to
promote the happiness of each other"
=
"BM such State has tie stnquestiona5le
right to regulate its oson internal concerns ac-
cording 10 its o,on pleasure and while it does
not interfere with the rights of the people Of
other States, or the rights of the Union, every
State must be the sole judge Of the measures
proper to secure the safety of its citizens and
promote their happiness and all efforts on the
part of the people of other States to cast oaium
upon their institgtions, and all measures CAL
culated to disturb their rights Of property, or
to put in jeopardy their peace and internal
tranquility are in direct opposition to the
spirit in 1hicb the Union Was formed, AND
MUST ENDANGER ITS SAFETY"

Letter from Mr. Hamer.

YAzoo CRY, Oct. IL, 1860.
EDITOR MIssIss1PPIAN-Dear Sir IL have
never entertained or uttered the sentiment
attributed by your Reporter to Neill s.
Brown, viz:
:" 1 would not swap this Union for all the
niggers in the country" which sentiment
your Reporter says re-echoed at Jackson on
the 18th inst. On the contrary very dis
tinctly stated that we held our slaves by a
title older than the Constitution and we would
defend that title.
then made brief statement Of the po-
sition of parties on the slavery question in the
Territories, and said that by dissolution of
the Union we must practically lose all we
claimed in those Territories, &c.
Believing that neither you nor your Re-
porter would intentionally do me the injustice
to mistate my remarks.
am yours very respectfully,
