IRE You Como TO vorE FOR THE REPuB.
LIcAN NoMn:E FOR PRESIDENT i-Sews-d says
"there Is an irrepressibls conflict existing %
tween freedom and slavery, which mus! 20 on
until all the States become free or all slave.n
Giddings says that Congress has right, in
case Of rupsrre between the North and the
South, to free the slaves." Lincoln, the candi-
date for the Presidency: declares "that slavery
and freedom cancot exist together" Nov
what does all this mecn? Seward, the great
leader, if he means anything, means that slavery
must be abolished South; for he says tSe con-
fict must 60 on until all the States bece,us
slave or free. The Northern States, having
abolished slavery by disposing of their slaves
to the South, will not again readopt 1t; thsre-
fore the Southern States must become free.
Giddings says that Congress has the right to
libesate the slaves in the Southern States in
case of q rupture between the North and the
South, evidently looking forward to the
period when the Northern fanatics shall at
tempt to let loose the slave upon his master.
Lincoln the Presidential candidate, declares
that slavery and freedom cannot exist together,
evidently referring to the doctrines preached
by Seward, Giddings and others, to be put in
practice when the people shall have given him
the power.
Now, what is to be the result of this ire
pressible conflict? Nothing more nor less than
the freedom of the slaves, destruction of COM
merce, frightful massacres and the ruin of the
Union. Lincoln tells US that freedom and
slavery cannot exist together. Either the
slaves must rise upon their masters or the
master must be reduced to an equality with
the slave. And as the two races cannot exist
together, war of determination must follow.
And as it is believed that the negro South can
not support himself in state Of freedom hun.
drsds of thousands will emigrate to their
friends-the republicans North, and be placed
by them side by side in competition with
white men. Are you ready to divide your pat
rimony with the negros Are you ready to
than you do now for lees pay? If you are,
vote for the republican candidate who, if hon.
est must break up the present relations be-
tween the North and the South, the master and
the slave, and the best government ever invent
ed for the happiness Of man. We cannot live
in peace with the South unless we let them
alone. Suppose the North were in the minority
and the South in the majority, and the South
insisted on establishing the institution of slavery
North, in opposition to united North, thus
forcing the negro upon us to compete with
white men and white labor, would the North
submit

DARK LANTERNS APPEARING /!
KaoW Nothtngs agree to Support Douglas
THE SAME OLD KOON CLINTON IN THE
FIELD

The most ludicrous farce that has been per-
formed on the political stage for many years, was
the one enacted at Grenada on the 18th inst.
Thrty-one men, pretending to represent six
counties in the State, many of whom were poiti-
cal hacks and broken down and disappointed office
seekers who have been fOI the last four or five
years doing every thing in their power to defeat
the Democracy, assembled at Grenada, called q
Know Nothing to the chair, appointed Secreta-
ry, and dubbed the meeting the State COnven.
ton of the National Democracy of Mississippi
Was ever effrontery SO unblusbing? Was ever
impudence so unparalleled We don't know
which ii is most calculated to excite, contempt
or laughter. With us it is a comminging of
both. The idea Of Know-Nothing presiding
over Democratic Convention in Mississippi, is
certainly ridiculous. The idea that thirty .one
Know Nothings and bogus Democrats should meet
together and declare what they call the voice of
the Democracy of the State, is simply cOnsempti-
BILE. We are really glad this meeting took place,
because it serves to show how infnitesimally
small is the much Wanted strength of Mr.. Doug
las in Mississippi. 1t proves the truth of what
we have said heretofore, that his strength is
posed of as many 0pposi.onists as Democrats
1t exposes, also, the desperate, not to say dis
honest, game the Opposition party is playing in
Mississippi. They know there is no possible
chance to cnrry the State, unless they can get
the Democracy equally divided. Hence, they mag
.sr 49, afx h;oh
they know, or at least ought to know, since the
Douglas Convention at Grenada, is comparatively
nothing, Hence, they send out some of their
party as decoy ducks 10 toll Democrats into what
are called Douglas meetings many of whom will
support Bell and Everett after they have sue
ceeded in fixing Democrats for Douglas. And
for tAe same reason do the 0ppositiOnists attend
the little gatherings of Douglasites, and try to
swell them into importance by applauding the
speakers And for the same reasons do the OPP
position orators load Douglas with encomiums
od naussDm. But their labor is in vain. Demo-
Gratis are not to be gulled in this way.
The council put forth the Rev. Col. ]. KOon
Clinton as Douglas elector for the State at large,
aud we suppose we will have rehash Of his old
speech, in which he so disgustingy abused and
denounced foreigners and Catholics.
We believe there are some Democrats who hon
estly think it their duty as Democrats, to sup
port Douglas, but we are satisfied now that the
acts and doings of the Grenada Convention, and
the character of those who participated in it,
will open their eyes, and seeing the scheme that
is laid to place the Opposition party in this State
in the ascendeucy, will at once come out for the
true Democratic Breckenridge and Lane.

nEMocRATs YOUR ATTENTION.

We have been told by the rank and file of
the Douglas men, says the Nashville Union
and American, that their Infatuated leaders
were leading them into the John Bell regi.
mept. We have told them to beware Of the
ancient friend and enemy of jackson, the
ancient enemy and friend Of Clay, who now
heads the Opposition. We have told them
that they would be drafted into the service
of their old foe. The result in Kentucky
establishes what we said. The Douglas
men there we're instructed by their leaders
to vote for anybody to beat McClarty, the
regularly -nominated candidate, and we re-
greet to say that hundreds of them followed
the instructions. This conduct has awaken"
ed the gratitude of the veteran leader OF
Know Notbingism on "the dark and bloody
ground." General Combs, since his election,
has written profoundly grateful letter
He tells it to tho world that the Patriotic
National Union Democracy co operated with
us most manfully, and We must hereafter
consider them as BRETHREN" These are the
Douglas men that the profoundly CRATE

DEATH OF MRS. HoLT.-The serious i'll,
ness of the estimable wife of Postmaster Gen
eral Holt has several times been alluded to
in these columns in terms of regret. We
are called upon now to state the melan-
cboly fact of her decease. She died on
Tuesday evening, in this city, where she
not been many weeks returned from So
iourn in Florida for the benefit of her failing
health. Her death>bed was surrounded by
her sorrowing relatives, and was cheered by
the consultations of religion, which also must
be consoling her numerous afflicted living
friends for the severe lost they sustain in
losing this must excellent lady.
Mrs. Holt was a daughter of ex-Postmas,
ter General Wickliffe, of Kentucky, Her
funeral was attended yesterday, and her re.
mains were placed on board the afternoon
train to be conveyed home to that State
We sympathize deeply with Postmaster
General Holt, and the other bereaved rela.
tives of the deceased, in their affection.
Constitution, TIL.

THE OPPOSITION BARBECUE.

By means of flaming posters and much drum
ming, and the announcement that the great lu-
minaries of the party world address the masses,
the Opposition party succeeded in getting up a
meeting that was respectable in size. We felt
curious to know what these distinguished orators
could say to Southern audience to induce them
to support Bell and Everett. Judge Amos r.
johnson, of Kinds, was the first speaker, and as
he was the big gun of the day, we gave our un.
divided attention, and he made what the OPPOSE
4 ton party would PROBABLY call a good speech.
y far as lodging all the issues before the peo-
ple>and evading every question that we are in.
teresNd in, he succeeded admirably. With good
deal OF Ingenuity he would present false issues
take choNe of Sides and battle manfully. He
reminded usNf child who would carefully
build up cob bNuse and then go valliantly to
work and demolisAA it. He assumed that Mr..
Vancey was Disuni0Ajst, and then pitched into
him like thousand of Arick, and brought into
acquisition all the flag OraSry and Union hosan-
mas of 1851. He dealt swashng blows around
misceaneously-d MSldn Van Buren,
and other sree.soil Democrats withe vim, and to
our great delight We waited patiently to hear
what he would say against BreckinriAge and
Lane, who are our candidates., and not MI. Van
Buren, or Mr. Yancey, We waited to hear WAT
he would shy against our platform Of principles
But, be it said to his credit, he said nothing
Against either. He tacity admitted that our can.
didates and our principles we're unassailabe.
About as amusing thing in his speech was when
he came to speak Of what GIVE ARE FOR
what the Bell and Everett party are for, he pro-
ceeded to lay down the very principles upon the
territorial question that are incorporated in the
Breckenridge 9 Lane platform. The very doc
trlne that we have cOntsnded for, and which pro-
ducsd the disruption Of the Democratic party
and for which we are called disunionista, Judge

johnson claimed to be Mr.. Bells doctrine It
occurred to us, and We would like to put the
question, If this is Mr.. Bells doctrine, why did
not the convention that nominated hin have the
honesty and manliness to avow itf Why was Mr.
GFsyson, of Pennsylvania, who wished 10 declare
the principles Of the party upon the subject Of
slavery in the territories, Kissed down for men,
tioning the word slavery? Judge johnson pre-
sumes greatly upon the ignorance Of the people If
he thinks he can thus deceive them.
Hon. W. A. Lake, of Warren, and Col. Hillyer,
of the Natchez Courier, addressed the people in
pretty much the same style and to the same pur-
port--nethsr of them dared to attack our princi-
pies. Col. Hillyer really grew eloquent when he
came to speak in praise of Mr.. Breckenridge
He said, in high courage, in manly virtues, in
intellect, in lofty chivalry, in everything that
constitutes a noble man, Mr.. Breckenridge was
one of the nOblest specimens We wish we could
give COL II. s very words, for they were eloquent

denunciatioDs pleased his party, no doubt, but we
are satisfied they will never make convert to
his cause, but will only serve to rouse up the
Democracy to greater efforts to achieve glori-
GUS victory.
| COL Hillyer followed in a short speech, and
then came the farce of the evening. Judge Gibbs
being called for took the stand, and poured out
perfect food of wit, humor, sarcasm, eoquence
and fun, jumbed altogether, without order or
system. He warmed up, grew angry, fumed and
ragged seized the flags on either side, waived
them over his head something like an ox-driver

and pitchers of water, comes in contact with q
leather winged bat, which he instantly knocked
into fits, all off suddenhe "pulledup," and seemed
to say, Orchard is himself again The only
enthusiasm manifested was produced by this ex-
traordinary performance.
The day passed off pleasantly, but it was a
very stale, fiat and Improbable affair, consider
ing the great efforts made to get enthusiasm and
interest.

The Opposition party have been in the habit OF
charging Mr.. Breckenridge with having occupied,
until recent date the same position as Stephen
A. Douglas on the Squatter Sovereignty doctrine.
1t seems that many of them, with view to con-
Wet Mr.. Breckenridge of this heresy, have writ
ten to the editor of the National Inteligencer for
an authentic report of Mr. BIS speech at Tipre-
canoe, in 1856. The Intelligencer is only able
to give W. R. Miles report of the speech on this
point, which Mr.. B. says is correct in substance,
and in commenting upon it, the 1ntelgencer has
the honesty and candor to say that Breckenridge
was never committed to Squatter Sovereignty.
In this the Intelligcncer, the very chief of the
Opposition papers,-a paper that distinguished
orator short time since declared was the best
and most reliable published in the United States
has set an example of honesty and fair dealing
that we would like to see the Opposition journals
follow. But we don't expect it. Misrepresenta-
ton and deception suit their purposes better
but we have right to expect that they will cease
publishing, in Haming capitals, the charge Of
Squatter Sovereignty against Mr.. Brecknridge
of which their leading organ, the Intelligencer
scouts him. Read the article for yourselves
We publish it for the benefit Of the Opposition
party especially.

Many OF the Bell and Everett journals con-
tend that the Black Republicans have the Con
stitutona authority to elect their President, ant
rule the destinies of this Government; to abol
ish slavery in the common Territories, in the DIS
trict of Columbia, and the slave trade between
the States; and if the slavery men should at
tempt secession, that this Republican President
has the power-and should exercise ito whiT
them into the Union.
The idea of this infamous party making free
men of our slaves, and slaves of our freemen
might be right big days work for them.
