Douglas a Homestead squatterite.

On the 10thof May, the Homestead bill be-
ing under consideration, Mr.. Douglas offered
an amendment extending its provisions to
land which had already been pre-empted, as
well as To that which had been surveyed and
subject to pre-emption. The Congressional
Globe reports as follows:
"Mr DoUGLAs-I shall move to amend the
bill by striking out the words subject to pri-
vate entry and putting in the words subject
to pre-emption,' so that it will apply to all
lands subject to pre-emption, whether they
be SO subject hereafter or have been hereto
fore, so that it shall be general principle, a
permanent policy looking to the future
Mr.. COLLAMER-If it is arranged in that
manner, what will become Of those who have
gone on the lands in Minnesota, for example?
Will the Senator's arrangement reach those
people, and enable them to take the land at a
quarter of a dollar as well as those who may
go hereafter
Mr.. DoUGLAs-Precisely. What desire
is that every man now on the public lands
that have been surveyed, and that are liable
to the provisions Of the bill, and also all that
have gone on to lands not surveyed, mayNtake
it under this bill as soon as it is surveyed and
also, that all persons who Shall hereafter go on
the land may take it under this bill as soon as
it shall be surveyed. That is what l desire
to see in the bill.
The amendment, however, was lost by a
vote of 25 ayes to 81 nays. A vote was then
taken on substituting the House bill, but it
was rejected by the following vote:
Yeas-Messrs Bingham, Cameron, Cband-
Ter, Clark, Collamer, Dixon, Doolittle. Doug

Discussion at Starkville

A correspondent of the Mobile Tribune
gives glowing account of a joint discussion
at Starkville, on the 22d ult, between Mr..
Leigh, the Douglas Bell elector for the third
district, and the Hon. Thomas l. Sharp, Of
Lowndes. We extract the following:
And now comes the pleasing part of this
Col. /. l. Sharp, of Columbus, arose among
the shouts and deafening applause of the De-
mocracy. We love Sharp over here. He
proceeded to prove the nationality of the
Breckenridge party, the regularity of that
party, for it now advocates the same principles
we did here in 1849 He showed up the diff
ference between -interueation and sguatte,'
sovereignty.
He explained our views of projections
showed the necessity Of protection at this
time, or the assertion of the principle He
brought the Bell elector up to an acknowledge
ment of that principle. For he (the Bell
NAM afterwards claimed that Bell and his
party were the authors, and ever since the ad-
vocates, of this protection principle. He forced
him to another admission, also-that Of resist
ing the election of Abe Lincoln.

The Union not to be Maintained b
Force,


Gen. Foster, the democratic candidate for
Governor of Pennsyl1ania, has no sympathy
with the Douglas dogma, that sovereign
States may be coerced into submission to
Federal power, and that Southern citizens
snouid be hanged if they obey the laws Of
'i'eir own State when in conflict with the de-
crees Of Black Republican administration
paragraph from General Fosters speech at
rnilaoelphia removes him from the category
of coercionists:
Gentlemen may talk of keep;n0 statas II,
the mon by force. In regard ia that let
me say that If this Union had been formed ~,
force If it had been established bv ~ ,,s.
like exertions Of the army and the nsvrs-
then we might expect to maintain its intee,;-
ty by the same means; but you must preServe
it as you made it. 1t must be preserved bv 4
feeling of common affection between these
several parties. When this feeling has de-
parted the Union is practically gone.''
The Washington Constitution well remarks
that when the two sections of the country
cease to work cordially together '4he Union Is
gone" The hangman's rope will
not hold it together. The bayonet cannot
prop it up. There must be an assurance that
the right of the South to its institutions and
its property will be respected by the North,
or the feeling Of common affection"
which is the life-spring Of the Union, is gone
forever.

Breaking the Bargain.

Mr.. Webster in his Capon Springs (Va.)
speech, referring to the relation of the States,
said, that "a bargain broken on one side was o
bargain broken on all.''
The States which prohibit their officers
and citizens from aiding the execution Of the
fugitive slave law, are

HoLMEsvILLE, Sept 26, 1860.
DDIToR M1ssIPPIAN According to appoint
ment, J. B. Chrisman, Elector for Breckin-
ridge and Lane and G. Wilcox, Elector for
Bell and Everett, spoke to-day. Mr.. Chris
man led off in one hours speech, that told up
on the crowd assembled. He first made up
the issue in this canvas, and in plain and
lucid manner detailed the history of parties,
and showed that the Democratic party stood
upon the ground of equality to all in this
Government, and protection to all in their va
ried interests. Secondly, that the Opposition
party were accountable to the country for the
present issue, on the slavery question, and un-
sound, especially in this particular And
thirdly, that the Democratic party was the
only hope TOT Cne safVa60fT Jf r:i5 UfiJn upon
just and honorable terms.
Mr. Wilcox replied-gave the Black Re-
publcans their due-let Douglas off easily, or
rather apologised for some of his errors-de-
Tended Bells record IN vigorous and able
manner, and attempted to answer Mr.. Chris
mans last position, but made signal failure.
Chrisman rejoined in happy and well timed
speech, and concluded with an eloquent ap-
peal to the people that | have seldom seen
surpassed for beauty of language, strength o
argument, and force Of eloquence; which was
responded to by the Democratic party by
hearty applause. Mr. Wilcox closed in a fif
teen minutes speech that was rather tame, ant
evidently, from the manner of the speech, HI
was Of the opinion that he had got the wors
of the encounter. Both gentlemen were cour
teous and dignifed in debate, and left fin
impression upon this community. Mr.. Chris
man is winning laurels wherever he goes, ant
the 0ppositionists do not withhold their prais
es or encomiums as to his gentlemanly bear
ing and strength of intellect think tn
District is peculiarly fortunate in the selec
ton of their standard. bearer, and l predic
a bright future is before him. There is no
much excitement yet, the Democratic party
stronger this day in Pike county than it eve
was before. We have seen tive live Doug
las men in the county, and one of them Is ma
king diligent inquiry how he can get to vot
for Douglas, as the ticket in this State
hard to find. Pike will send up good AZ
count of herself at the ides Of November.
Yours truly, PIKE.

The Prospects.

The n: Y. Herald speaking of the hopless-
ness of carrying any of the New England or
Northwestern States against Lincoln says:
This throws the responsibility of the defeat
of Lincoln upon the conservative voters, in the
Middle States or New York, New Jersey and
Pennsylvania, where the several factions are
doing all within their power to prevent cor
dial union of the entire nti-Lecompton forces.
In Pennsylvania the masses are trying to unite;
but Forney insists upon running straight
out Douglas ticket, to pay the Republicans for
giving him the Clerkship of the House of Re-
presentatives. The regular Democratic or
ganization in New Jersey, have hoisted a
Union ticket representing the Douglas, Breck-
inridge and Bell interests; but set of infatu-
ated Douglas men, who really want Loncoln
elected, are running straight Douglas ticket,
like Foney, are fast sinking into insignifi-
cance.
