Elsctor for the State al Large.

The Executive Committee have appointed
in his place Gen. Thos W. Harris, of Marshall.
ALI will unite in saying that better appoint
sment could not have been made. Gen. Har-
iris came near receiving the honor in the first
instance, at the hsndssof the Democratic State
Convention, and his entire fitness for the post
was universally Acknowledged. Another
thing, too, that renders his selection pecu-
iiarly appropriate is. the fact that be lives in
that portion Of the State where the Douglas
detection chiefly exists, and where his per
sonal popularity aud influence Gamble turned
to the best account in disabusing the minds of
Democrats who have honestly taken up with
the Douglas heresy, and of crushing OUT and
counteracting the efforts of those who for self
ish and mischieyous purposes are endeavoring
to divideand destroy the Democratic party.

Biblical Questions on Slavery.

A correspondent of the Christian Observer asks
of the Egangeiist and other anti-slavery editors,
a categorical answer to the following inquiries !:
lst. In the covenant which God made with
Abraham and his spiritual children, which is
understood to be the Gospel covenant, was it
roronS to provide for the purchase of bondmen,
Or slaves Gensis, chap. II; II and Is yer.
ID. Was it ,rrong for the angel when meeting
Hagar In the wilderness, fleeing from her mis-
tress, who had treated her badly, to send her
back into the state of servitude from which she
had so happily escaped? Gen. l6:9 9.
Sd. Was it wroag for Moses acting under a
direct commission from God, to authorize the
lsrealites to purchase bondmen, or slaves, from
the heathen and leave them as an Inheritance
to their children forever? Levitt. %: A. 45
and 46.
4th. Was it tproag for the Saviour, when lie
healed the Centurion's servant, to commend the
faith Of the master without reproring him of the
sin OF slaveholding?
9th. Was it arrOng for the Apostle Paul to send
srnnaway slave back to'his master, Philemon,
without single word of admonition about the
sin of fslaveholding?
9th. Was it 'erong for the Apostle to speak of
masters who had servants under the yoke (of
seryitude) as faithful and belored and 10 state
yoke should render them a cheerful obedience
Tim. g. l, 2, 8.
18th. Was it ,crong for the apostle in immedi-
ate connection with such teachings to condemn
those who teach otherwise, as ignarant and proud
dotm9 about questions and strife of words,
whereof cometh envy, strife, railings evil sur
musings, and perverse disputings? Tim. 6 4,
5, 6.
sth. Is there anything in the relation of mas
ter to his servant to make that to be a sin now,
which was not sin in the days of Paul and
Moses?
9th. If slayeholding be sin, have not Paul
and Moses, and Jesus, and the Great God him
self q speak it reverently) given explicit per-
mission for the existence of this sin, without
single word of rebuke?
10th. Is not the royal law" thou shalt lore
Ing neigt5or as Myss!t-as truly and readily
oheyed by the master to his slave, as by the en-
ployer to those in his seryice-and is there not
as much injustice and oppression exercised over
those in serytude at the North as there is over
the colored population of the South ?-Banner

Douglas and the Union.
BY NoNIS.

Spread TO the breeze our banner, let it fash
across the sky,
Which shall glow afresh illumined by its
blaze;
Like the halo of the morning it shall greet the
watchers eye,
And the faithful hearts shall worship as they
gaze
IT'S the banner of our country by the bleeding
fathers wrought,
And each burning star prouder lustre holds,
When. with inspiration from their mighty
spirit caught,
Wewrite i" Douglas and the Union" on its
folds.
Though dangers gather near and the despot foe
rejoice,
While the false or feeble hearted shrink
aside,
We will hasten to the conflict with the leader of
our choice,
And will conquer in the motto of our pride.
For twill conquer-it must conquer for oh,
who could fly or yield?
Or how fail the joyous smile of victory
When our triple pledge of triumph is displayed
upon the field
Douglas, Union. and the True Democracy
Let the hordes of faction swarm, and the fend
secession lONer
We will smite the demons frenzy breathing
crest,
As our chief late smote their mongrel camps,
trenched by the serfs of power,
With the Constitution folded to his breast;
And the beacon fJr our country, mid the shades
Of threatened night
By our principles eternal standing fast
On the middle ground of Justice, of Equality
and Right,
Well nail Douglas and the Union" to the
mast

SUFFERER.-We will not abuse Brecken-
ridge. We know he is now in wrong position
is doing an objectionable wrong-is lending
the weight of his great name and bright fame
to the election of Black Republican President,
and to the defeat and destruction of the time
honored and glorious party to which he is in
debted for all the bays that ever entwined and
adorned his brow. Yet, because of our great
admiration for the man, we cannot, as yet, talk
harshly of him. According to she evidence Of
n correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer, he
is already suffering the penalty of his sin. Says
he:
" One of his best and truest friends said to-
day that he deeply regretted the means and ap-
pliances that had been brought to bear upon
Breckenridge in forcing him to yield to an al
Tentative that ruined and utterly destroyed all
his future hopes. Breckenridge looks care-worn
and anxious; he evidently feels that he is the
leader of forlorn hope. If the human coun-
tenance is an index of the heart, he would give
up all the honors and goods he possesses in this
world to place himself where he stood one short
month ago. | say to you in all frankaess that
] believe he is now urging his friends to bring
about some compromise that will relieve him
from his present perilous situation. One month
will develope the fact of open oyertures made to
the regular organization for an adjustment of
matters that may probably be acceptable to the
regular nominees
The Shasta courier., 1860-08-04

gSsA- A correspondent of the Cincinnati Ga
-ette predicts that John W. Forney, although
now supporting Douglas for the Presidency, will
be for Lincoln before the canvass is over:
Very likely, and for the reason that he is gov
erned solely by personal ill-wil toward certain
individual Democratic Southern leaders. He is
governed so little by principle that, in order to
defeat the wishes of one poor miserable old
man, who he co-ceives has wronged him, he
would elect Black Republican his successor.
Herein he is acting precisely as are the sece-
ders. They are pursuing course which they
kHoc can only result in the election of Lincoln.
They DO not expect to elect Breckenridge They
simply hope to defeat Douglas. And thus such
men as Forney and the seceders are standing on
the same platform, and working-in different
ways, it is true-to accomplish the same result
the defeat of Douglas and the election of their
Democrat We ask any honest Democrat this
question Can a man be true Democrat, who
tells you that Breckenridge is his first and Lin
coin his second choice7 How can Lincoln who
is an ultra Black Republican, and believes in,
and first announced the infamous irrepressible
conflict" doctrine: that is, that all the States
must ultimately be free, or all slave: how can
be be the second, or third, or fourth, or last
choice of true Democrat or the choice of a
Democrat under any circumstances And yet
some violent seceders of our town have declared
that, if they cannot elect Breckenridge, they
prefer to see Lincoln succeed rather than Doug
las.
The Shasta courier., 1860-08-04

SENSIBLE REAsoNs.-Among the reasons for
the selection of Lincoln, as the Republican can
didate for the Presidency, are: That he is six
feet three inches high; that in the summer OF
1880, he and companion, named Hanks, split
three thousand rails that he once managed a
hatboat on the Ohio river If he should be
elected, Hanks ought at least to be Secretary o.
State, and the man-whats his name 2-whc
held an oar with him on that flatboat, ought to
be Minister TO France, unless he has prior en-
gagement to split frewood at Washington for
" Uncle Abe"
The Pittsbarg Pos, says: An old citizen who
travelled in Illinois thirty years ago, and was
especially familiar with the district of country
where Abe Lincoln resided, says that Abe never
split rail in his life. In those davs, he saws
the people never thought OF such a thing as
splitting rails. They went into the swamps and
out hoop-poles and saplings for fences, and used
them, round, as nature made them.
The Shasta courier., 1860-08-04

\ WOMAN DIssoLvEs A CABINET.-The demise
OF Hon Samuel Ingham, one of the members of
Gen. Jackson's first Cabinet, has disclosed a
singular fact in connection with the dissolution
of that body. That occurrence, it appears, was
precipitated by the famous rupture between
Calhoun and Van Buren, in 1881, the former be-
ing then Vice President and the latter Secretary
of State. a distinguished gentleman who at
that time held Office under the Administration
has given US personally a graphic verbal account
OF the affair. As in most other matters of life, a
woman was at the bottom of all the mischief
The wives of some of the members of the Cabi-
net and other digntaries having refused to re-
cognlze and visit Mrs. Eaton, their husbands and
admirers arrayed themselves on opposite sides
Of the question, and political animosities assumed
for the moment secondary Importance Ing
ham and Calhoun joined forces against jackson,
Van Buren and Mrs. Eaton. The quarrel ran
high, and. being added to by party rancor, the
Cabinet broke up in row, and Louis Mclean
took the place vacated by Ingham. Even so
great hero as Jackson was not it appears, be-
yond the influence of woman's smiles and
tears.-Er
The Shasta courier., 1860-08-04

LIFE IN CuBA.-Conjugal manners in Havana
must be in pleasingly primitive state. As a
lady of eminent respectability was circulating
through the streets Of that Cuban city, man
rushed up and dismantled her person of watch
and diamond jewelry, crying in agonized and
reProachful tones: Z" Here you are, decked out
in all the jewelry have worked so hard to give
you; paying visits, | suppose, to your lovers
but give me the jewelry and go your way will
have nothing more to do with you Several
young men stood near, and viewed the transac-
tion complacently. On being reproached by
the lady for permitting her to be robbed in their
presence, they replied that from his language
and manner they thought the man to be her
husband. Marital manners in Havana must be
in deplorable condition, indeed, to have war
ranted such n supposition. Missionaries from
the United States, with few hand books of ct
iquette, might work a delightful change in Gu
ban society.
