Mr. Breckinridge's Views.
on uNFRIENDLY LEGISLATION.

: IN 4Ak61S14AI1ON.
The fact that neither Congress nor a Ter
ntorial Legislature can constitutionally ex-
clude from, or confscate in territory, private
property having been judicialIy determined by
the highest court in the United States, con-
fess that I did not anticipate the doctrine of
a1atrsendEy territorial legislation in regard to
African slaves. II has no s0arrant from the
Constitution, if we recognize the highest judi
cial Interpretation of that Frank
fort Speech, 1853.
ON PROTECTION TO SLAVERY
So that in regard to every description of
property, Including slaues, recognized and re-
garded by the Constitution, it is the duty of
the courts of the country to protect and guard
it whenever the question is brought before
them.
But should the time ever arrive when a
decision of competent court on question of
private right is likely to fall for want of ade-
qnate remedies to execute it, those remedies,
exec,aiue and legislative if need be, shall be
afforded, or government IS a failnre-and from
this conclusion | see no escape for any just
mind that would uphold the authorities ofthe
country-Ffankjrt Speech, 1859.

League Of United Southerners.

A writer in the States, signing himself
'Aahama,' says that the League of United
Southarners'' exist in Alabama, and are bound
10y oaths, tests and pledges of the Know
Nothing action" and he adds
at is all over this Safe, and is spreading
n Mississippi. Emissaries are travelling in
Georgia and South Carolina enrolling members
and locating central societies.
We have no right to speak of other States,
ut we can speak for South Carolina The
above assertion, has not particle of truth to
support it and We infer, therefore, that it is
equally false as to Georgia and other Southern
States. There is no need of Southern
Leagues to kill Douglas and Squatter Sover-
eighty in South Carolina. Not single press
in the State, supports them. Nor do We
need any organization to Vindicate the rights
Of the South. The whole State is South
ern League for that purpose Charleston
Mercury.
The foregoing disclosure of the Mercury as
to South Carolina, are equally applicable to
Mississippi.

Fever and .Ague,

from which mankind suffer over large part Of
the globe, Is the consequences Of diseased action
in the system, induced by the poisonous n1iasm OF
vegetable decay. This exhalation Is evolved ~
the action Of solar heat on wet SOIL and rises with
the watery vapor from it. While the sun is below
the horizon this vapor fingers near the earths sur
face, and the virus is taken with it through the
lungs into the blood. There it acts as an irritating
poison on the internal viscera and excretng organs
of the body. The liver becomes torpid and fails to
secrete not only this virus, but also the bile from
the blood. Both the virus and the bile accumulate
in the circulation, and produce violent constitu-
tional disorder. The spleen, the kidneys, and the
stomach synpathize with the liver, and become
disordered also. Finally, the instinct of our or
ganig1n, as II in an attempt to expel the noxious
infusion, concentrates the whole blood Of the body
in the internal excFetories to force them to cast Il
out The blood leaves the surface, and rushes TO
the central organs with eongestive violence. This
is the Chill But in this effort it fails. Then the
FEVER follows in which the blood leaves the CEN
trail organs and rashes to the surface, as If in
another effort to expe the irritating poison through
that other great excretory the skin. In this
also it fails and the system abandons the attempt
exhausted, and waits for the recovery of strength
to repeat the hopeless effort another day These
are the fits or paroxysms of FEVER AND AGuE.
Such constitutional disorder will Of course UNDER
mine the health if it is not removed.

The ABolITIos Plor N TExAs.-The
Houston Telegraph, of the 31st ult. mentions
meetings of citizens at Anderson, Hampstead,
Brenham, Paris, &C., and the appointment of
Vigilance Committees. in consequence of the
developments of the Abolition plot The Tel
egraph says:
It has been ascertained that the negroes OF
Grimes county have held secret meetings, and
many of them are supplied with arms.
In Fayette county band of runaways was
thought to have been organized, to make
break for Mexico
The Gilmer Tribune reports the arrest of
three negroes in that town on the 10th. They
had IN their possession passes, papers, and
various documents, way-bills to the Indian
Nation, pistols, powder, caps and writing ma
terals. They said they were from Henderson
county.
The house of DR.. w. W. Stell, of Lamar
county, was fred by negro on the 10Th, and
completely burned.
4 letter in the Waco Democrat, written
from Waxahachie, by Judge Buford, of Dallas,
confirms the accounts of the troubles in Ellis
and Dallas. 1t says: "Since you left this
place the investigations of the Vigilance Com
mittee of Dallas has led to very importantdis-
coveries, implacating nearly all the negroes of
Ellis and adjoining counties. To-day COM
mittee was organized in this county, who have
ascertained the existence of a most perfect and
thorough organization, having for its object an
indiscriminate massacre Of the white popula-
ton. Under the lash the negroes have adj
mitted that they had In their possession deadly
poisons, to be administered to their masters
families in food and when demanded of them,
they have gone to the kitchen and produced
the poison.'
In every part of the State the people seem
to be on the alert, and we have no fear of any
further outbreak. The troubles in Ellis, Dal-
las. Denton and TerTant counties will be set
tied by the citizens. The committees at work
there arc composed of the best men in the
several counties, and seem determined to make
clean thing of the matter. They are receiy-
Ing the support of the whole population.
