The Memphis Postmaster.

The Washington correspondent of the Gin
cincinnati Enquirer in his letter of the oath
says
About week since Mr.. Avery, the Repre-
sentative from the Memphis District, was
summoned to appear before the Postmaster
General and designate successor to the pre-
sent worthy and efficient incumbent, Col.
Carroll. lately elected Douglas delegate to
Charleston. Mr.. Avery at once protested
against the contemplated outrage, and was
backed in his remonstrance by the entire
Tennessee delegation in both branches of
Congress.
A telegraphic dispatch, announcing the in
tention of the President, having been imme-
diately sent to Memphis, remonstrance.
signed by nearly five hundred Democr ats, in
GLIDING all shades Of personal opinion, was
sent in at once, and arrived this morning.
The renonstrants protest in the name of the
eneire Democracy of West Tennessee against
the removal of Col. Carroll. 1t is probable
the act will not be consummated
The above appeared last February. Since
that time, the head of Col CARROLL has been
brought to the block; and we do not hear
that there was one amongst the Tennessee
delegation to protest against the bloody
deed

Occasional" the Washington correspon-
dent of Forney's Press, who for years past
has been the constant and q aceful eulogist
of Mr.. B., now makes the following revela-
tons:
Prior to the secession demonstration at
Baltimore, and, it is confidently stated, be-
tween the Charleston bolt and that in the
City of Monuments, Mr.. Vice President
Breckenridge was in the habit of assuring
the Douglas men In this city that he acould take
the stamp IN ereTy Northeastern STATE for Doug
las, should he be nominated There are hun
dreds who will remember his declarations to
this effect. The truth is, be never dreamed
OF being made tool by his embiltered enc
my, James Buchanan, until certain men closed
around him and put the cup to his lips, and
compelled him to conceal the nauseous dose.
They had arranged the plan of disunion long
before, but he was ignorant of it. l have
no doubt that. in his own heart, he deeply
deplores the position he reluctantly assumed;
indeed, it is asserted that since he has accept
ed the disnnion nomination, he has, in mo-
ments of confidence to his friends, in the
deepest agony, regretted the step he permit
ted himself to take.

Rather Severe on Old Abe
The Saratoga Springs correspondent of

The Saratoga Springs correspondent of the
Charleston Mercury tells the following story:
Mr.. NJ, who is a true Democrat, has in his
possession portrait of Abraham Lincoln,
with whom he is well and Familiarity ac-
quainted. A few days since, an ardent ad-
mirer and political friend of The Republican
candidate for Presidency, was at the house
OF Mr.. NJ, when the conversation turned
upon the subject of Lafitte, the notorious
buccaneer and freebooter of the Gulf of Mex
leo, who bad his hes dquarters at Barrataria
MIR. III. being inclined to bit of sly fun, and
knowing the political procliviLies ofhis friend.
inquired if he had any knowledge of the
youngest son of LATTE, at the same time in
forming him that he had in his possession a
portrait of the younger LATTE. which was
Immediately produced, bat so held that the
name of the original could not be seen, as
the portrait is not framed. The visitor
gaZed with wonder and establishment On the
picture before him, and exclaimed, with ill.,
dignant feelings, that all men could see in
the lineaments OF the face low cunning, deep
and damnable treachery and piracy, most
distinctly marked. After indulging in this
train of remark for few moments, Mr. NJ.
slowly removed his hand from the lower part
of the picture, when the name of Abraham
Lincoln was disclosed tc his view, which
completely paralyzed the visitor, and for
time rendered him speechless.

WASHINGTON. July IL.

=.
1t was recently stated in dispatch from
New Orleans that revenue cutter had gone
to overhaul the schooner J. B. Taylor, which
sailed from that port 10 Central Ameri.a
with emigrants or filibusters. For more
than two months it has been known that
several small parties of such Adventures
have repaired thither, but these movements
are here considered too insufficient for serious
comment.
As the old Jackson Democratic Association
was lately thoroughly disrupted by the con-
tending Douglas and Breckenridge members,
each wing has taken preliminary steps to es-
tablish a campaign club, each other altogether
Independent of the other.
A petition has been numerously signed and
presented to the President, and by him trans
ferred to the Secretary OF War. praying for
an immediate resumption of work on the
Washington Aqueduct. 1t will be recollect-
ed that Congress appropriated half mill on
OF dollars for this purpose to be expended
under the SUPPLEMENTARY of Capt Meigs.
This proviso has somewhat embarrassed the
Administration, but there seems to be no
doubt, apart from the question which the des-
ignation of that Office involves, that the ope-
rations on the Aqueduct will shortly be re-
sumed.

A Prophecy of Famine.
From the London Times, June 22nd.

-~~--NSAA A-A-ANSj
In those countries of Eu-
rope which lie closer to the sun, and where,
according to received canons of belief. the
more fortunate Inhabitants were living among
violet beds and watching the flight of the fire
fly while we were staggering about among
our fogs with link-boys to guide US on our
obscure path, the weather has proves just as
bad as it has been in the British Isles Not
even the suspicious event of liberated Italy
could entice smile from the angry clouds
the other day, when Victor Emmanuel went
forth to receive the homage of his Emilian
subjects. The Spaniards, who, under the
guidance OF O'Donnell, had chosen-as they
lmaglned-the most favorable season of the
year Tor levylng war upon the unyielding
Moor, found themselves involved in snow and
fog, and elemental miseries, the like of which
had never been remembered. Never have
such an autumn, winter and spring, been
known IN Germany, as during the last ten
months. The calamity-for It has. indeed,
been very grievous caamity-has been uni
versal throughout Europe, and the British
lslands have not been worse treated than
nelgboring lands.
lne social mlSerleS consequent upon the
CONTINUOUS ill-weather have, indeed been
hard enough to bear, but they have been as
nothing in comparison with the injury in
nlcted upon the substantial resources of the
uo1iou 1de uerDdSe mas DeeQ drowned, or
scorched up under keen winds. The young
llngs of the focks and herds have persisted
for want of food. Lambs, which in ordina-
| ry seasons produce wealth in abundance to
the stock-growers, have been given away
freely to anybody who would accept them as
gift. The price of meat has flown up to q
point at which it is placed almost beyond the
| reach of any save the comfortable classes.
We hear of leagues formed in this or that
| district or town for the purpose of uniting to
| give up the use of butchers meat until the
| butchers consent to reduce their prices
Under the usual condition of affairs, Scot
land, with its long ranges of sheep-walk, ex-
ports mutton to England. England is now
exporting mutton to Scotland. The evil is,
| unhappily, far indeed from being sentiment
tai one. People who are engaged in agri-
| cultural operations will tell you that, unless
| the weather mends, and that speedily, the
| years harvest will be in the most imminent
| peril. We all know the meaning of def
| cient harvest. Irreparable mischief is not
| yet done; but an eleventh month of bad
weather superadded to the ten which have
preceded it, would probably be sufficient to
| place the grain crops in jeopardy. Under
| these circumstances we have, at least, the
| comfort of thinking that in our own islands
| the legislative folly of man is not acting in
| harmony with the inclemency of the ele-
ments. The farmer on the banks of the Ohio
| and the Belgian grower of stock are working
! for the British markets.

The game of the BRECKNRIDGE-1 ANcEI-
TIES in this State seems to be, just now. to
make the democracy believe that the move
ment in favor of the regular nominee OF the
parfy, Mr.. DOUGLAS, is a trick of the Consti-
tutional Union Party. If they can only
make the rank and file believe this, they
think they can be readily hitched to the Sc
cession wagon. The BRECKENRIDGE ANCEf
leaders thus show how they estimate the III
telIigence of the people. They don't have a
very exalted opinion OF II.

We insist that the action of the Repnbli-

Nomination of the Clerk of the Court

FRANKFORT. July II 1

FRANKFORT, July Ii, 1850,
The various candidates of the Constitution
a, Union party for the vacant Clerkship of
the Court of Appeals met here to-day, pur-
suant to the suggestion made in your columns
some time since. The meeting was intended
to afford all the aspirants an opportunity
for an amicable settlement of their respective
claims and to obtain concentration and
union OF strength upon a single individual.
The gentlemen interested met together in
the most harmonious and self-sacriicing spirit
and agreed to leave the decision nf the cues
ton to mutual friends. To carry ont this
design, each candidate selected two persona
as representatives, and all who were thus Sc
lected met in convention. After free inter-
change of opinions. Gen. Leslie Combs. of
Lexington, was declared the candidate of
the Constitutional Union party for the Clerk
ship Of the Court of Apperls by the concur
renee of all the aspirants in consultation
with their friends. This RESULT effected, all
his competitors will go home and work
cheerfully and efficiently to secure his sue

Look ut This,

The Charleston Mercury speaking of the
Breckenridge and Lane ticket ys-"Unsup-
ported in the North, it is obliged to do harm
by dividing the anti-Republican strength,
and thereby rendering certain the election of
Lincoln. 1t cannot be elected even should it
carry every Southern State, which is not to
be presumed"
Thus it will be seen, according to the
frank admission of the Mercary, the leading
Democratic paper in South Carolina, that the
running of Breckenridge renders certain the
election of Lincoln" Men of Virginia, have
we not been telling you the same thing all
the time?-Richnlond Wing,

SYMPTOMS OF CAvING.-We have had an
intimation that some of the Breckenridge men
of this State, in order to avoid the dreaded
issue in August, are disposed to nominate
Mr.. Boiling for the Clerkship of the Court OF
Appeals, he being understood to be against
Breckenridge. Boiling is very clever fell
low, and would make an excellent clerk; aud,
if the Breckenridge men are at all disposed to
succumb to the Douglas men, we would as
soon see them do it in his favor as anybody
else's. We don't much think they have pluck
enough to nominate and avowed Breckenridge
man upon a seceeding platform. We shall see.

58- The prospects Of the Union party,
says the Baltimore Clipper, are every day
looming up with grander and more magnifi-
cent proportions. Most cheering Intelligence
is continually pouring in upon the National
Executive Committee from all parts of the
country. The fact is now apparent that the
contest will be practically narrowed down 10
BELL. and EVERETT on the one side. and LIN
COLIN and HAMLIN on the other. The issue
Is simply between nationality and sectional
| ism, between the friends of the Union and
| the Constitution and their enemies. In such
a contest there is no alternative for conser-
vative men anywhere. To vote for either
| BRECKENRIDGE or DOUGLAS will be simply
throwing away suffrage for the benefit of the
Republican party In the North the Repub-
licans are making all the thunder for BRECk-
IxRIDGE to keep him in the field for their
benefit, and to divide the conservative vote
and keep it away from BELL and EVERETT.
| Impressed with these facts the people are
moving in masses to rally under the Union
party banner. Recruits are daily coming in
from all quarters not by hundreds and thou
sands, but by tens of thousands. The Ma
tional Executive Committee at Washington
are working assiduousIy and with confidence
of success. 1t is only necessary that their
efforts should be seconded cordially and
promptly by the State and local executive
committees, and by the masses of the conser
vative people in every State and county and
precinct, to insure triumph unprecedented
since the days of 1910.
