and other foul trash. In few seconds the
trash was found in one box and the large
plump grains of wheat in another No
body here ever saw anything like it. Wheat
passed through one Of these mills or sepa-
tors is worth at least 10 per cent more per
bushel than if winnowed in the ordinary
way. The cost Of one for farm use is about
$35 90. The gentlemen above named are

The Northern OpsiiOn OF "thc MUM
CandIdatc.o

Mr. Leyerett Salstonstall, of Boston, is the
political conscience-keeper of Mr. Everett
To him is committed the task of inditng
non-committal responses to the letters adj
dressed to Mr.. Everett, in which information
is sought cnnceming his political sentiments.
Now, in the South, the supporters of Mr..
Bell contend that their candidate is eminent
ly fit TO be trusted by Southern men,. Does
it not seem little singular, to say the least,
that, at the North, men who are adverse to
the institution of slavery" should support
Mr.. Bell upon the ground that they regard
him as a southern man with Northern prin-
ciples."
At a Union-saving meeting, which was
held in Boston on the night of the 5th inst,
Mr. Levcrett Saltonstall discussed as fol
lows:
Il suppose we are oil 0drerse to the institu-
ton of slavery, but VIC do not wish to inter
fere with the government ofthe slave States.
When the Sage of Quincy was fighting for
the right Of petition of anti-slavery men, Jno.
Bell was on his side. You find him stand
ing firm against the repeal of the Missouri
Compromise, and for these things the South
calls him an anti-slavery man. That is the
man for national conservative mcn-a man
who is opposed to Northern extremists aud
Southern extremists"
Another prominent and able supporter of
Mr. Bell, Mr.. George S. Hillard, addressed
the same meeting, and advocated the claims
of his candidate upon these grounds:
'sOn the other hand, how is it with Mr..
Belll lie has been all his life in opposition
to the dominant public sentiment of the
South. He IS prOtectionisi; the South for
free trade He was III favor Of the United
States Bank; the South was not He oppos-
ed the South Carolina notification. lie pro-
tested against the removal of the deposits
OF all the Tennessee delegation, he alone IA
vored the reception Of petitions for the abO-
lition Of slavery in the District Of Columbia. !
lie opposed the annexation Of Texas. He
protested against the repeal Of the Missouri
and resisted the Lecompton /
Constitution. There Is no man at he South /
rho more deserves 70 Be called a Southern
man pih Northern priReiples than John
Bell"
Dare the Bell papers Of Mississippi lay
these declarations Of Saltonstan and Hillard
before their readersl We shall see. VIII !
The voters Of Mississippi longer support
who is so acceptable to those who
are adverse to slaveryi We shall see that,
also.

An ingenious attorney, who always made
it poipt TO get the case, was applied to by
a man who had stolen some pork, to defend
him. Accordingly, in his usual inventive
way he ruined the principal evidence on
which the plaintiff relied, and the jury
brought in averdict of "Not Guilty" AAer
the verdict was declared, as the fellow was
leaving the court house, hcwhispercd to his
attorney thus:--Squirc, what shah do with
the pork, for I have got it yet! Eat il, re-.
piled the lawyer, for the jury say you did not

Extracts from Douglas FrecpOrt
Speech.

LIScoLS's QUESTION. the people of the United
States Territory in any lawful way, against the wishes
of anv citizen of the United States, exclude slavery
from their limits prior to the formation OF State Con-
stitution?
DoUoLAs' AsswEn-Tho next question proponndcd
10 me By Mr.. Lincoln is, can 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 state constitutions an
swer enphaticaly Mr.. Lincoln has heard me answer
hundred times from every stump in Illinois, that II is
my opinion the people of Territory can, by lawful
means exclude slavery from their limits prior TO the
formation of State Constitution. Enthusiastic APP
plause1 Mr. Lincoln knew that had answered that
question over and over again. He heard me argue
the Nebraska bill on that principle all the State in
1854 in 1865, and in 1885, and he has no excuse for
pretending to be in doubt as to my position on that
question 1t matters not what way Supreme Court
may hereafter decide as to the abstract question,
whether slavery may may not 60 into Territory
under the Constitution; the people have the lawful
means TO introduce Il exclude, they please, for
the reason that slavery cannot exist day or an hour
anywhere unless il is supported by local police regua-
tons fright, right.) Those police regulations can
only be established by local legislation and the peo-
pie are opposed to slavery, they will elect representa-
tivcs 20 that body who will, by unfendy legislation,
efcctually prevent the introduction of it into their
midst lion the contrary they for their legisa-
ton will favor its extension. Hence, no matter what
the decision of the Supreme Court may be on that alb
sract question: still the right of the people to make
slave Territory or free Territory, Is perfect and
complete under the Nebraska bill. | hope Mr.. Lin
coin deems my answer satisfactory on that point.

Extract from Mr. Breckinridge's
Frankfort speech, last December.

Mr. Breckenridge has been speaking of the bred
Scott decision and continues as follows:
Well that being the case andit having been author
tativey determined by the very tribunal to which II
referred, that Congress had no power to exclude
slave property from the Territory and iudicaly deter
mined that the Territorial Legislature-authorities
created by Congresshad not the power to exclude or
coniscate slave property confess that had not an
ticipated that the doctrine of uniendly legislation
would be set up Hence need not say 10 you that
do not believe in the doctrine of unendly legislation;
that do not believe in the authority of Territorial
Legislature 10 do by indirecton what they cannot do
directly repose upon the decision Of the Supreme
Court Of the United States TO the poin. that neither
Congress nor the Territorial Legislature has the right
10 ostruct or conscate the property of any citizen,
slaves Included pending the territorial condition APP
plause-
do not see any escape from that decision, If you
admit that the question Judicial one, If you ad-
nit the decision Of the Supreme Court, and If you
stand BY the decision Of the highest court Of the eoGn
try.
The sunreme Cont seems to have recognized it as
the duty Of the courts Of the Union, in their proper
sphere TO execute this constitutional right thus adj
iuJcated by the Supreme Court in the following Ian
euape: In speaking Of the acquisition of Territory,
hey pronounce it political question for Congress TO
determine what Territories they may acquire, and
how many Nov mark the words Of the Court:
Here follows a quotation from the decision
So that in regard to slave property, IN regard to
NV other properly recognized and guarded by the
Constellation Il Is the duty according TO the Supreme
Court Of all the Courts Of the country to protect and
guard it by their decision whenever the question Is
brought before them. To which only add, that the
judicial decisions must be maintained-those judicial
decisions must be sustained. lApplause-
In present remedies are Adequate 70 sustain these
decisions | would have nothing more done. /, with
manv other public men in the country, believe they
are adequate IL they are motif they cannot be en-
forced for vat Of die proper legislation to enforce
them. sufficient legislation must be passed, or our
Government Is a failure.

As this renowned gentleman is to be in
Oxford tomorrow, and of course deliver him
self Of q great deal Of bilious matter against
the 'secessionists, fre-eaters and disunionists,'
as he is pleased to term the democracy, we
presume it will net be uninteresting to our
readers to show them what the Ex. Senator
thought of Southern rights and Southern in
terest in 1880. To do this satisfactorily, and
without laying ourselves liable to the charge Of
Misrepresentation, we append a letter of this
Cosmopolite, written by him in the Spring
of 1851, to Mr.. Barksdale, in which it viii
be seen he fully endorsed the action of the
Nashville Convention of 1850. The letter
reads as follows:
wAsHfSoroS, April 29th, 1851.
ssMY DEAR SnE-Accept my warmest acknowl-
Judgements for the prompt and generous manner in
which you have repeied in late number of your pa
per, the absurd and unfounded charge that am, or
have been, hostile to the scheme Of the Nash
vile Convention My views have so often been de
eaTed, both in Congress and elsewhere in approba-
ton of the whole action of our noble State on the
subject, that should have been surprised at the
calumny had il not been my lot TO be the object OF
gross Misrepresentation of every kind during the
whole period of my Senatorial Believe me 70
be your faithful and cordial friend.

first Nashville Convention, over which thai
big Bell ringer. Judge Sharkey Of this Stat,

v "Catching at Small Things,

The Helly Springs Union takes us to task
for claiming that the late election resulted in
a Democratic victory in this county: and,
gravely affecting to understand the politics
of Lafayette great deal better than we do,
it informs its readers that "Vaughan and
Moore were the only men between whom
the political issue was made" in the election
here, and taunts us with catching at small
things" In our simplicity, we supposed
that majority of more than 800 was fully
large enough to "catch at" and we think we
proved, with reasonable clearness, in an ar
tiele which appeared two weeks ago, before
we saw the observations of the Union, that
the Democracy obtained that majority here
We expect to "hold" that majority, and even
to increase it in November. Should we fail
to do this, we promise frankly to confess our
error and concede the fact that the judg-
ment of our contemporary is superior, on that
point, to our own. VIII the Union enter
into reciprocal engagement, or viii it, after
the November election, catch at nothing, as
it did in speaking of the October election

by the removal Of an incumbent. should create
