A SLOW STEAMBOAT.

Sometime during the year 16-there

usage, was playing cards in the social

and scare some up along the shore,'

out, and the captain went on with the
game. In few moments the mate
returned - " found yard, sir." The
captain left the! table and went out.

captain; however, I'll take cord or

cords were taken, the game was re-

The captain had nothing t to say, bus

stiff current, which the boat was un-

{ A Prophecy.

THERE is not a single Southern Statei in
which Breckinridge can possibly get majo-
rity of the popular vote-and not more than
three where he will get a plurality Vieks-
burg Wing.
We expect to ask the Wig, after the
election in November next, whether, in view
of its past success in prying into the future,
it intends to carry on the prophesying busi-
ness any longer; and we would like to know,
now, whether Mississippi is one of the three
Southern States in which the Wing expects
Breckenridge to get a plurality of votes.
viii that paper relieve our suspense, and in
form us which of the States it comedies to
Breckinridgei We confess that we are
gratifed by the extreme liberality of the
Wig, for it might very easily have gone a
little further, "while its hand was in" and
prophesied that Breckinridge would not re-
ceive a single vote, anywhere. 7

MaryIand-skics Bright.

The Democratic papers of Maryland assert
positively that the electoral vote of that State
will be cast for Breckenridge and Lane. They
aIloge, and with much reason, that the numerous
riots and disgraccful transactions Of the Know
Nothings at Baltimore elections, have killed the
party in that State, and that outside Of the city
of Baltimore it scarcely has an existence. Ev-
erywhere the patriotic and conservative masses
arc united for the Democratic nominees. There
is no division among the Democracy. The three
Democratic members of Congress, Stewart,
Kunkle and Hughes, Mr.. Pearce, Democratic
United States Senator, the State Central Com
mittte, and every Democratic paper Iut one in
the State, is laboring earnestly for the election
Of the Democratic nominees-Breckinridge and

Extracts from Douglas FrccPOrt
' speech.

frScofN's sQrEsrroN.-Can the people Of the United
States Territory IN any lawful way, against the wishes
of any citizen 0f the United States, exclude slavery
from their limits prior to the formation of State Con
stitution?
DoUGLAs' ANSWER. The next question prOpounded
to me by Mr.. Lincoln IL, the people Of territory
in any lawful way against the wishes OF any citizen of
the United States exclude slavery from their limits
prior to the formation Of a state constitutions an
swer emphatcaly, as Mr Lincoln has heard me answer
hundred times from every stump in Illinois, that IT is
my opinion the people Of Territory can, by lawful
means exclude sayery from their limits prior to the
formation of State Constitution. Enthusiastic ap-
plause Mr.. Lincoln knew that | had answered that
question over and over again Ne heard me argue
thn Nebraska bill on that principle all the State in
1854 in 1880 and in 1886, aud he has no excuse for
pretending to be in doubt as to my position on that
question Il matters not what way the Supreme Court
whether slavery may or may not go into Territory
under the Constitution, the people have the lawful
to introduce it exclude, as they please, Tor
the that slavery cannot exist day or an hour
anywhere, unless is supportedb local police regula
tons fright, right.) Those police regulations can
only be established by local legislation aud if the peo
pie are opposed TO slavery they will elect representa-
tves to that body who WILL by unriendy legislation,
cffectuay prevent the introduction of it into their
midst lfeBtc contrary they for it their legisa-
tion will favor itsextensUn. Hence, matter what
the decision of the Supreme Court may be on that alb
stract question: sil the right Of the people to make
slave Territory free Territory, is perfect and
complete under the Nebraska bill. hope Mr.. Lin
coin deems my lnswer satisfactory on that point.

"wail for am overt Act.o

The Holly Springs Union copies the
foregoing heading Of an article Of ours, and
then proceeds, very cOmplacently, to make
sundry comments upon the article itself,
under the evident impression that those com
ments would be regarded by its readers as a
crushing reply to our article, which was very
prudently, or accidentally, perhaps, withheld
from them. We suppose, however, that the
Union fancied it would be easier to knock
over man Of straw, set up by itself for the
express purpose of being knocked over, than
to perform the like operation upon real man.

Great Speech of Mr. Breckinridgc.

The Memphis Arolanche, of the 10th inst,
contains condensed report, filling nearly
five columns, of the great speech delivered
by Mr.. Breckinridge, at Ashland, KY, on
the 9Th inst, in the presence of an immense
concourse Of his fellow-citizens. The full
report, as revised by the distinguished
speaker himself, will appear in the Agalanche
as soon as it can be procured through the
Kentucky papers. A large edition will be
published, and it should be extensively cir
culated throughout the length and breadth
of the land. 1t is a mastery production,
entirely worthy of the reputation of Mr..
Breckinridge. After mailing to the counter
a swarm of those base forgeries of truth
which his enemies have attempted to circu-
late to his prejudice, he proceeds triumph
antly TO vindicate himself and the Demo-
cratic party from the unfoundcd charge of
having deserted the ground they occupied in
1856, and to turn the tables upon Mr.. Doug
las, whom he clearly convicts of violation
Of his own pledges, and of the grossest in
consistency. The "disunion" prctence
which has been so falsely urged against Mr..
Breekinridge and his supporters, is effect
ually exposed and refuted; and the fidelity
of the true Democrats to the Constitution
and the Union is placed beyond cavil or a
doubt. Did our space permit, we should be
glad to lay before our readers the entire
speech of Mr. Breckinridge; but We trust
that they viii all take measures to procure it
for pefusal.
