AMERIcANIE INSTITUTIONS. The London
Times is impressed with tho lesson taught
by our reception Of the Prince Of Wales
1t says:
" The fatigues and duties of his jour.
ney cannot have left the youthful Prince
much time for reflection, but he must
have compared the scene before him with
those with which he is familiar on the
continent of Europe-in Italy, for In
stance, or in Gcrmany--and must have
felt the main cause of AL this happiness
and all this progress is that liberty and
self-government, tho dearly priced inbc-
ritance of the nation over which he is
to be called to rule, which they have car
ried with them to these vast countries
The institutions of America differ from
ours, aud We have never hesitatcd to cx-
press our preference for the constitution
under which we live but that must not
prevent our doing full justice to the mcr-
its Of u nation in whose fame we claim a
common interest, or admitting that their
institutions, though not to be coveted by
men who have the happiness to live in
England in the reign Of Queen Victoria,
are far superior to any that are to be
found in any other country except that
from which they sprang. The reception

A SCHOOL TEACHER RETURNED TO THE
tNoRrn. The Boston 7raascript has full
particulars of the return of Mr.. ". c.
Wood, the Yankee" school teacher,
whose arrival at Boston, from South Car
olina, was noticed yesterday. The facts
are as follows:
There came passengers on the South
Carolina Mr.. VIM G. Wood and Mr..
Blodgctt, produce dealer Mr.. Wood,
it appears, went South for the purpose Of
teaching. He was graduate at Har-
ward College. He was destined for Four
Mile Brach, Barnwel District, South
Carolina. He took passage in the cars
from Charleston for his destination, in
company with Mr.. Blodgett. On tho
way, inadvertently, he expressed bis pre-
ference for Lincoln as president An in.
dividual was noticed, intently listening
to his conversation, and at the next stop
ping place, where the cars tarried for
three-quarters of an hour, he was waited
upon by committee, who questioned
him as to his politics, but he declined to
give them any satisfaction.
Mr.. Wood thought no more of the
questioning to which he had been sub.
jected, and continued on his journey
On arriving at A." Four Mile Branch"
the place was found to be terribly excited,
a telegraphic despatch having probably
in'orined the citizens Of the opinions Of
the new conner among them. He was
immediately waited upon by committee,
who told i'm that il would be impossi-
bic to permit bis stay IN the place, aud
advising him to leave as his best course
They, however did not insist on his I'M
mediate departure, and offered to defray
the entire expense of his return to tho
city.
Mr.. Wood concluded that he would
retracc his steps without delay. He ex-
perienced no insult in the cars on tho
way to Charleston. except from few
rough customers, as an officer had been
provided to protect him. On reaching
that city, at tue suggestion of friends,
he occupied apartments in the Guard
house, the night previous TO the smiling
of the steamer, that being the safest re-
treat during the existing excitement. -
The next morning an officer Of the city
came down with Mr. Wood TO the steam.
er, and put hun safely on board. Tho
produce dealer, so far MS We could learn,
effected the object of his Southern writ.

To VoTE FOR DOUGLAS IS EQUIVALENT TO SUPPORTING BELL.-The Nashville Union truthfully remarks that every vote given for Douglas IS equivalent to voting for Bell The issue is now made up-it is restricted to Breckinridge and Lincoln. It is utterly impossible for Douglas to ob- tain single Southern electoral vote, con- consequently every vote cast for him is adding that much strength to Bell and Everett. It is certainly vote either thrown away or given indirectly to Lin coin. The Union says: Every Demo- crat in Tennessee who casts a vote for MT. Douglas takes one from MT. Breckinridge, and thus indirectly gives vote to MT. Bell, as MT. Bell has by this means one voe less to get to beat Breckinridge. II there Is Democrat in Tennessee who be- lieves that the success of John Bell in Tennessee IS preferable to that of MT. Breckinridge he ought to vote directly for Mr. Bell, as he will thus not only take one vote from MT. Breckinridge, but also give one to MT. Bell, and in that way count two for the candidate of the Ignor- CTS. "- Memphis Avalanche.

that this debt remain as 1t IS, until It be- comes due. His reasons for which are, that then our population and wealth, will be so materially enhanced as to make Its navments less burlhensome 10 the people than to pay it al the time, as Col. Johnson proposed. .,
 Judge Rector scorns every thIng like repudation, or any measure that would lead to that result; he believes that II proper and wise policy were adopted that an immediate and useless taxation could be avoided; the lia billty of the State be provided for and her credit and honor sav- ed untarnished.
 His competitor, Col. Johnson, on the other hand, proposes that the Real Estate Bank institute proceedings to foreclose the mortgages, and rejects the proposition to permit the stockholders to pay without suits. He makes the astounding assertion, that if elected Governors be can collect the money from the mortgaged bonds, soon enough 10 pay off the bonds; that IS to say, that he can collect the money the same day he institutes the suit.
 As regards national politics both can didates agree, both avow themselves to be States-rights Democrats, and of course, have no sympathy or affinity with that dls- organizer S. A. Douglas.
 We were glad to witness that the dis cussion was conducted with the utmost good feeling between the candidates. The audience paid good attention to the spea- kers during the five hours the debate last ed. and the assemblage dispersed in good order and with good feeling, the friends of Rector feeling good in particular, as they feel confident that Jackson will give him an overwhelming majority.

SEDIrIous PLAcARD IN IRELAND The following placards was lately posted through different parts of Longford = "Irishman do not intend to be put down or bullied over by the placards of English cut-throat Saxons, for we will join the Pope's army, despite all their internal doggings! Let that Saxon look out, for John Bull will shortly get harder bones to pick than ever he had to pick before. The man that wrote this will be in Italy before a week, and back in arms on the heights of Ballimanuck before fifty-two weeks (Signed) Napoleon III" It is needless to say that the Government organs pro- nounce the foregoing extremely sedi- lous."

TIE CANDIDATES. In no part of the South will the nomination of Breckinridge and Lane be received with greater enthu- siasm than in this city and State. The gallant and noble Kentuckian has always been favorite with our people of all par ties and classes. Besides the great na- tural and geographical ties which have al- ways united Kentucky and Louisiana, the character of Breckinridge combines, in brilliant harmony, those qualities which are especially admired and esteemed by our people. Youth, ardor, progressiveness, energy, responsiveness of views and ideas, the highest chvalry and gallanuy, are in John c. Breckinridge most happily blended with great self-control, inhexible firmness, calm wisdom and spotless inleg- Tity.
 Such a man cah never fail to take a strong hold upon the affections and conf- dence of our people. Nor are they indif- ferent to the claims of high lineage, of an ancestry whose virtues have been trans mtted and are so nobly represented in the scion of family so distinguished for ge- nius, for patriotism. and for public ser vices. The grandson of the mover of the resolutions of l79S and l799, who has so faithfully adhered 10 and so brilliantly maintained the great doctrines of that me. morable platform of the Democracy and second Declaration of Independence. must ever have prominent claims upon the SUD- port of the South--indeed, of the whole Union.
 Scarcely forty years of age, John c. Breckinridge has attained position in this Republic which few indeed have ever reached, at the most advanced period of life and of public service. He has filled the most responsible stations, has parlici- paled in the most active and exciting trans- actions. has borne prominent part in all the political events of his day, has been strict and earnest partisan, has ever been and emphatic in all his political ttierances, and yet not word has ever been uttered or written against his honor and integrity as a man-his hrmness and as politician, or his fidelity and sincerity as patriot-l New Orleans Delta.

THE CANVASS IN PRAIRIE COUNTY

THE CANVASS IN PRAIRIE COUNTY.
 The canvass for Representative and the the
 various county offices, opened at Clear
 Lake on the 25th ut., and closes today
 at Brownsville. Col JOHN c. DAVE, the
 democratic candidate for Representative,
 has not been enabled, thus far, to meet his
 competitors, Messrs. QuIsENBERRY and
 THOMPSON, on the stump. Col. DAVE is
 absent in Tennessee, whither he had gone before the canvass opened, with the ex-
 pectation of returning in time to fill the
 appointments which had been agreed upon
 between the candidates for Representa-
 tive. The continued illness of Mrs. Davie
 is sufficient excuse for the absence of the
 Colonel. A man who would not respect the sacred ties of his household and at-
 tend to those who have been smitten with disease, would certainly be unworthy of the support of the people. That Col. JNo.
 c. DAVE possesses superior qualifications
 for the position of Representative over either of his opponents, those who know them all, will readily admit.
 We heard Messrs. THOMPSON and QuIsENBERRy at Atlanta on Saturday last. They consumed their time, princi- pally, in showing up each others inconsis- tencies. Col. THOMPSON acknowledges himself an Old-Line Wing, but would not take ground as to who he would support for the Presidency. He was for the SateSt man, but took good care not to tell who he thought that man was. MT QUrsENBER- Ry, as usual, had good deal 10 say He endeavors to create the impression that the race is between him and Col. DAVE, and that Col THOMPSON is mot in the race O., like Col. THOMPSON, is mum upon the Presidential question. He is for good man, but didn't tell who he was. Our opinion Is that Col. THOMPSON wlll vote for Bell and Everett, and that Mir. QUIs- ENBERRY, should he be elected. but there IS no probability of that would vote for and Lane, if defeated he too will go for Bell and Everett. IL is we'll enough, with public men especially, 10 place them in that position to which they most closely assimiate; therefore, we place the two gentlemen just where we hnk they will stand, judging from their on the stump. If We are mis- aken in our conclusions, we have the con solation of knowing that others coincide with us in the premises.
 After the conclusion of MT QuIsEN- sERRY's speech, B. F. FoRp, Esq read l letter from Col. DAVE, and made hort, but very appropriate speech, which vas well received by the audience.
 We have an abiding confidence that the emocracy of Prairie county will stand by ,ol DAVE and elect him their Represen- alive on the 9th of next month. His ad- ress to the people contains more intrinsic aerit and sets forth more reliable policy han all we have heard from his opponents. The attacks upon it have reoounded with sarful effect upon the heads of his com etitors. <
