Keen Before the Peonle !,
The New York Coalition

The Democracy of New York are satisfied
that there are coalitions between Mr.. Douglas
and the enemies of the South. The following
resolutions, adopted by the National Demo
cratic General Committee, in New York, a
few days ago, put the subject in compact
form:
Resolped, That, from the speech of Hon.
William Kellogg, of Illinois, delivered in Con-
gress last winter, and which has not been re-
futed, or denied-from the factious and arbi-
trary course of Mr.. Douglas and his partizans
n csss 1ndi conventions;
and from his open hostility to the united sui
frages of the Democracy, upon any electoral
ticket to defeat Lincoln, it is self-evident that
a conspiracy exists between Stephen A. Doug
las, Dean Richmond and his Albany Regency
and Thurlow Weed, for the overthrow of the
Democratic party, and for the success of the
Republicans.
RESOLVED, That this corroborates what Mr..
Douglas said at Washington during the anti
Lecompton struggle, (see Kellogg's speech,
page 12,) that she would be found fighting in
the ranks of the great northern party in 1860
that it was policy for him to remain in the
party, IN OrQeF W IOlu CeIIdIH vi IAO 1aAh Gnu
file, so that when he went over from the De-
mocraey he could take the crowd along with
him, and when he got all over, he would cut
down the bridge and sink the boats :"
For our own part we have no doubt Of the
fact here stated. There are at least one hun
dred thousand persons in the country pro-
missed offices under Mr.. Douglas, and this is
the source of the trouble. These party adj
venturers are determined to secure their places
and any means for that purpose is good for
them. They would combine with the worst
enemies of the country, in order to make their
calling and election sure" ...-5
The party Generalization as the country
now exhibits is without parallel in our
political history, and it is chiefly due to MIR.
Douglas.

boro, on Saturday the 18th inst, to ratify the
nominations of Breckenridge and Lane.
On motion Of j. B. Dunn, Col L p Trot-
ter was called to the Chair, and Richard Wal
pole appointed Secretary. '.tA
On motion, q committee Of five was APP
pointed to draft suitable resolutions, consisting
of Willis Barfeld, Col. Coffey, H. d. Shaw,
A. d. Peoples and Thomas Harvey, who, az
ter retiring, offered the following resolutions,
which were unanimously adopted
RESOLVED, /. That this Convention cordially
endorses, in the whole and in all its parts,
the action of our delegates to Charleston,
Richmond and Baltimore e
2. That in John C. Breckenridge and Joe
Lane, the nominees of the National Democra-
cy, we recognize men true 10 all sections Of
the country-ever firm in their devotion to
Southern rights, and gifted with every quality
of the statesman, patriot, and soldier, and that
we pledge them our hearty and enthusiastic
support. ..-.-.-
8. That the Territorial Governments are
subordinate and temporary, and not sover-
eign, and hence cannot destroy or impair the
rights of persons or property. Whilst they
control Of Congress, and the Constitution no
where confers on any branch Of the Federal
Government the power TO discriminate against
the rights of the States, or the property Of
their citizens in the Territories; that the citi-
zens of all the States may enter the Terrific
ries Of the Union with their property, Of
whatever kind, and enjoy it during the Ter
ritorial condition, without let or hindrance,
ritorial Governments.
4. That the principle Of protection to
slavery in the Territories has always been
held one of the fundamental grants Of the
Constitution, by every party in the South I;
and we deny that any party or the people of
the South ever endorsed or subscribed to the
doctrine of squatter sovereignty.
5. That in order to make one further and
united effort to save the Government and the
Constitutional Union Of the States, this meet
ing would earnestly urge all good citizens Of
the State to join in one common effort to elect
Breckenridge and Lane, and thereby main
tain the equality and the honor Of the States.
Col. Coffey was then invited to address the
meeting, and did so in few very able and
pointed remarks Col. Trotter was then
called to the stand, who responded in an elo-
quent and appropriate manner. Col. Dranet
was then invited 10 respond, and did soin his
usual chaste and forcible style. .4s IS
]. N. Campbell, Esq, offered the following
resolution:
RESOLVED, That the proceedings Of this meet
ing be published in the Choctaw Recorder, and
that the Mississippian be requested to copy.

What their Aims Are. .

p = e.
Douglas having predicted the election of
Lincoln, and volunteered to champion his ad-
ministration, it is well for the people of the
South bear in mind the bloody purposes of
the Black Republican leaders. The following
is an extract Of a recent speech of Carl Schurz,
Lincoln Teuton fugleman in the North West:
"May the God in human nature be aroused
and pierce the very soul Of our nation with an
energy that shall sweep as with the bosom of
destruction this abOmination of slavery from
the land
"You cali this revolution. His In this
we need revolution we must, we aoiH have It'll
"LET IT COME m
In nllowing article, the n. Y. Tribune, the
leading organ of the Black Republican party,
declares its real object to be the exterpation of
slavery in the States
Admit that Abolition in the States is what
all men ought to strive for, it is clear to our
mind, that large majority are not prepared
for this, and the practical question is this
shall we politically attempt what will certainly
inUolUe as an defeat and failure or shall we
rather attempt that which majority ARE ripe
for, and thus by our consequent triumph, IN
vITE THAT MAJORITY TO GO FURTHER ? Shall
we insist on having all the possible eggs now,
or be contented to await their appearance day
by day? The latter seems to us the only
reasonable course. We care not HOW FAST
Messrs. Birney 81 Co., may ripen public senti.
naents in the North, for Emancipation we
WILL AID THEM to the best Of our ability (; but
we will not refuse the GOOD T0an within oul
reach out of Difference to that which Is as ye
unattainaBle. Mr.. Birney's 'ultimatum' may
be just what he sees fit we have not pro
posed to modify or NEEDLE NTH 1t. We only
ask that he shall not interdict and prevent the
doing of SOME good at once, merely because
he would like to do MORE good, as WE SHALL
ALSO, WHENEVER IT SHALL HAVE BECOME
PRACTICABLE.

EDITOR MIssIssIPPIAN The Democracy
of Holmes are more enthusiastic in mainten-
ance of their principles than they have ever
heretofore been-encouraged as they are by
the accession of quite number of citizens,
who have in previous campaigns, supported
the Opposition ticket; they reasonably in
dulged the belief that our candidates for the
Presidency and Vice. Presidency, will sweep
the County without any serious obstacle !;
however, we are not disposed to idle through
the canvass, but are determined to make a
vigorous effort to increase our majority on
the last vote.
A strong Breckenridge and Lane club has
been successfully inauguarated in Lexington,
under the auspices of the accomplished j. L.
Woford, Esq, as President, who stands I'M
rivailed among the prominent men of Holmes,
as bold and eloquent defender of the princi-
pies, emblazoned on the folds of the standard
sheet, under which the supporters of Rreckin-
ridge and Lane rally.
A mass meeting of the Democracy will be
given on the 8th of October, in Lexington
Distinguished speakers have been invited to
attend-men, who in all the heated conflicts
in this State for the past twelve years, lave
signalized their devotion to true constitutional
principles, by the commanding ability and I'M
tireing zeal with which they have conducted
the several campaigns, Lexington on that
day will presents AN appearance such as greeted
the gallant and intrepid Davis in 1874; a solid
column of the substantial men, irrespective of
party, who have laid their past political pre-
JUDGES on the altar of our common country,
and with a patriotism worthy Of their citizen
ship, will unite in extendinga cordial and en-
thusiastic reception to the champions of our
cause.
Suppose the several Breckenridge and Lane
Clubs in Middle Mississippi confer together,
and make the necessary arrangements for
Grand Mass Meeting of the Democracy, to
be holden either in Carroll or Yallobusha
Counties, sometime in the month of October ?
Our railroad facilities are so numerous, that
citizens from every sectionof the State, could
reach the designated point; and to hear such
men as Davis, Yancy, Blythe and Lamar, you
may rest assured, that an immense concourse
of people will be present.
To the honor and dignity of the Democracy
OF Holmes be it said, that not one Douglas
Democrat has been discovered. If any such
there be, your correspondents assured in the
assertion, that it would required microscope
to ascertain his political dimensions.

OF Douglas says that his sole object is to
crush Breckenridge. We have read of a Ha-
man who erected gallows on which to hang
the pious and patriotic Mordecia, but was
hung on it himself The Illinois squatter
will find that his efforts to crBsh Ksntaeky's
glorious son will only result in his own utter
and disastrous overthrow. The people will
have say in this proposition to crush John
c. Breckinridge-and instead of becoming the
instrument of the pitiful spite of the Illinois
squatter, will give him his queitus-will con-
sign him to that obscurity and contempt to
which his treason to his party and his corrupt
and INSCRIPTIONS ambition entitle him. John
C. Breckenridge will live in the affections and
admiration ofhis countrymen--loved, respec-
ted and trusted, for his manly virtues and
lofty and stainless character, long after the
Illinois demogague, shall have sunk beneath
thecontempt Of all true democrats. -Aays"at1e

Amos r. Johnston and A. Z. blythe
Discussion at Cofeeyille, Miss.
corrrrYrI1r. Ane. 81. 1aec

CoFFEEvILLE, Aug. 81, 1850.
The published list of appointments of the
Hon. Amos R. Johnston, Elector for Bell and
Everett for the State at large, placed him at
Coffeeyille on Thursday, Both inst. Having
invited discussion with the representatives Of
opposing parties. Capt A K. Blythe met him
for the first time at Grenada, on Wednesday
goth.
Since the Campaign opened the health Of
Capt. Blythe has been such as to prevent an
active and vigorous participation in it. In
deed to our personal knowledge, nothing but
his zeal and devotion to the principles involv-
od in this canvas could have so aroused his
spirits, tagging from continued sickness, as
to have led him to engage in the canvass at
all in his general ill-health. A few days
spent at Gibbs Springs, near Grenada, had so
improved him, that on yesterday he met Judge
Johnston with an elasticity Of spirit, and con-
fdential eagerness which he has not hereto
fore shown in the canvass.
Cant. Blythe devoted much OF his first
sneech to the purpose of showing the impolicy
treating. offering course pursued by the
south toward the North, from the time that
the first intermeddling and aggressive move
was made by the demand for the reception
and RESPECTFUL consideration of abolition peti-
tons. He exhorted Southern men with an
| earnestness and eloquence which seemed like
the result OF an instantly-caught inspiration,
to be Jealous Of their honor and equality in
the Union. For my own part when he con-
cluded that part of his address, l felt as much
at loss to know how Southern men could
longer differ in sentiment and action in the
present canvass, as an enthusiastic church
member feels at loss to know why the SER
mon of his favorite preacher has not con-
WINGED the whole congregation.
| Capt Blythe showed that the counsels Of
what are called ultra Southern men had
never prevailed in the attempted settlements
of that question, and that the Union-loving
Pharisees had had the trial Of its settlement
every time.
The record Of John Bell and Edward Ev-
erett was then taken up, and before he had
finished whit their friends had most woe
BECOME look.
Upon the whole, Capt. Blythe's speech
rose far above mere party appeal and I be-
| lieye had its effect upon every man who has
Southern home and Southern interests and
attachments. ?
Judge Johnston is an extremely courteous
and pleasant gentleman, and makes as good a
case for his men as their lives and conduct,
and non-committal course, will permit.
After the discussion was over, the friends
of Bell and Everett did not "crow" as they
generally do. They claim victory, as gem
eral rule, in every discussion; no one has SO
far hazarded his character for ingenuousness
and modesty, as to claim victory.

The Canvass in the Fourth District.

Our gallant Elector, Livingston Minis, is
winning fresh laurels upon every field in which
he has encountered his opponent His prog
ress thus far is one of unbroken triumphs.
There is no mistake about it. He has carried
discontinue and d'smay into the ranks of the
Opposition, and has infused corresponding
spirit of confidence and exhilaration into the
ranks Of the Democracy. Under his lead, we
predict that the Fourth District will roll up a
majority of not less than thirty five hundred
for Breckenridge.
s P. S.-After the above was put in type, we
received the Mobile Tribune containing the
following notice of the discussion at Enter
prise:
Mr.. Merwin was
introduced to the audience, and in speech of
an hours length made very ingenious and
disingenuous defence of the position of the
Bell Everett party, or rather he made a most
unfair attempt to blacken the record of John
c. Breckenridge on the slavery question. How
far the attempt was successful, the ides of
November will determine.
After Mr.. Merwin had concluded, Mr..
Minis was introduced, and for an hour and a
half he held the audience entranced by his
overmastering eloquence, his sound logic, and
his whitening sarcasm. With an unsparing
hand he tore the hlmsy covering from the car
cass Of the so-called Constitutional Union
party, and held it up to the contemptuous
gaze of all right thinking men, in all of its
hideous deformity and corruption. He showed
conclusively that Mr.. Bell was unsound on
the slavery question, and that Mr.. Everett
was little betteT than Chase, Hale or Gid
dings. He successfully defended Mr.. Brock
inridge against the charge of squatter soyer-
eighty, and showed him to be altogether wor-
thy Of Southern support. He paid a hand
some tribute to the defenders of Southern
honor, who had been branded as disunionists;
and when he mentioned the name OF Alabama's
favorite son, VIM. L. Yancey. three cheers for
Yancey were proposed, which were given
with hearty good will by at least one hun
bred and fifty strong voices-convincing proof
tqat the term "Yanceyites" which he had ap-
piled to the friends Of Breckenridge and Lane,
carried with it no reproach in East Mississippi.
Mr.. Minis speech was greeted with hearty
but becoming applause, and when he took his
seat Mr.. Merwin attempted to reply, but it
was evident to the most casual observer that
he felt himself so badly whipped that he
could do nothing but founder through the
time allotted for reply, and he concluded the
worst crest-falIen man had seen for long
time. --...

That while James Buchanan, the Demo-
