The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1860-09-08

THE PRESIDENT AND JUDGE DOUGLAs-Ac-
cording to a sketch of a recent speech of
Judge Douglas, he stated that "the President
told him if he did not obey him. and vote to
force the Lecompton Constitution upon the
people, against their will, he would take off
the lead of every friend he (Douglas) had in
office" This statement was lately inclosed
In q note to President Buchanan, by Ex Gov
Smith, OF Va, who was desirous of knowing
whether il was true. The President replied
in brief letter, from which we quote:
"Surely there must have been some mistake
IN the report OF the speech, because | never
held any such conversation with Judge Dong
las nor any conversation affording the Ieas [
color or pretext for such a statement 1t was
not in my nature to address such threatening
language 10 any gentleman. Besides | have
not removed one in ten of his friends. and not
one OF his relatives. Even among those of his
friends who have rendered themselves promi-
nently hostile TO The measures OF the Admin
istrauon majority sill remain in office.
VI might ado, that have never held a po-
iiucal conversation with Judge Douglas on
KITS or any other subject, since the day nv
| first annual message, Of the sth December
le57 was read in the Senate; and l did not
transmit the Kansas Constitution 10 Congress
| until the I'd of February 1855, the question of
slavery not having been decided by a vote of
the people until the Dist of December, 1857
NOW, my dear SIR, IN writing thus to YOU
L have iransgressed a rule which L had pre-
scrlbad for myself, not to contradict apy state
| rnent assailing my public conduct or charac-
ter until after the conclusion of nv term of
office. A statement, however, comes with
such force from Senator of the United States
who is one OF my constitutional advisers. and
| this, too, in Il pu blished speech delivered by
MIN in his canvass for the highest elective of.

nonal they are not sectional, for the Constitu

IIon can neither be sectional nor disunionist
Ihese principles are taken almost verbatim
from the Supreme Court Of the United States.

pies upon which we may we'll live, and by
winch we may well all be willing to die

they concern the rights of person and proper
~. They cannot be abstract. minute and un-
important, for they concern the honor and
equality of the States What has been the pu-
siuon OF Kentucky npon that platform The
candidates for Governor of this State iast
year, both held that Territorial Legislatures
nave no power TO exclude our property, and
| each contended that every department OF the
government must project it when it became
| necessary. Mr.. Joshua Bell l believe, went
step further, by thinking the time had now
arrived when the government should inter-
pose. Your Conventions endorsed the princj-
Piles, and the Senate and Commonwealth of
Kentucky, by the unanimous vote of bot par
lies, endorsed them, as being constitutional
and true by the following solution which l
must read, as 1t is so apt, so pertinent and so
conclusive. The reseluti tions of the last Le-
gislature of Kentucky were here read, but they
are necessarily omitted That is word for
word the opinion of the Supreme Court and
the resolution of the National Democratic
Conyen ton, on which 1 stand to day. Both
parties in Kentucky at the polls, and by unan.
imous votes in the Legislature, have declared
that these principles are those of the Consti-
tuition.

Constipation or Costiveness.

No one of the "many ills flesh is heir to- so prev
aent, SO little understood, and much neglected
Costiveness. Often originating in carelessness, or
sedentary habits; it is regarded slight disorder
OF too little consequence to excite anxiety, while in
reality it is the precursor and companion of ma
ny OF the most fatal and dangerous diseases and
untimely grave. Among the lighter evils of which
Costiveness IS the usual attendant, are Headache,
Cholic rheumatism, Foul Breath Piles and others Of
such as Malignant Fevers, Assesses, Dysentery, Di-
arrhea, Dyspepsia. Apoplexy, Epilepsy, Paralysis,
Hysteria, Hypohondriasis Melancholy and Insanity,
farming symptom. Not unfrequenty the diseases
named originate in Constipation but take nde-
pendent existence unless the is eradcated in
early stage From all these considerations it follows
that the disorder should receive immediate attention
whenever it occurs, and person should neglect to
get box of Cephalic Pills the first appearance Of
the complaint, as their timely will expel the in
sidious approaches of disease and destroy this dan
gerous foe to human life.

Mr.. EDITOR The people of the United States
are now in the midst of fearful crisis and panic,
such as has never existed before. Thousands of
dependent labOrers have been unexpectedly dis
charged from labOr-in fact all classes in
connection and confidence nearly destroyed in
trade and finances gloomy indeed is the condi-
lion of things generally. The question arises
what has caused all this {? Why these forebo-
dings Of evils yet to Gomez To my mind it has
been brought about by ambitious and scheming
politicians of both sections of our countrywide
= look only to their own ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, whilst
the great solid interests of the people is made
condary, only SO far as they are necessary in
carrying out their schemes for place and power.
am Southern man, true to the core, but hon.
estly believe that wrongs have been committed
by both North and South. The North by multi
flying the Fugitive Slave Law, which is a law re-
cognized clearly by the Constitution from its
adoption, not to name other acts by individuals
has caused great offence and considerable loss
to Individuals, all of which ought speedily to be
righted and those obnoxious laws at once repeal
ed The injustice thus done against the clear
constitutional rights of the Southern people has
caused great deal of irritation and excitement
in the Southern mind, and on the other hand has
nothing been done against the rights of orthern
individuals to cause excitement and hatred a.
mong them towards US will instance the i'm
prisonment of cOlored seamen in the ports of
South Carolina, taken from Northern vessels and
held until their vessels were ready to SAIL with
out any crime, or charge of crime against them
whatever; and when Commissioner from Mas
sachusetts was sent out to test the legality of
such proceedings by bringing the question before
the Courts of the United States, he was not per-
mitted to bring SUITS aaa @as expelled from the
State by threats of personsl violence. Thus sstit
for tat'' has been carried on, until almost COM
plete alienation of feeling has been caused, and
now after lapse of eighty years of unprecedent-
ed prosperity in building up government, the
like of which the sun shines not upon-a work
of toll and sacrifice of blood of noble and
brave common ancestry-who stood shoulder to
shoulder at Lexington well as Guilford, and
later the sons of New England and the sunny
South, met the common enemy on the plains of
Mexico, and while suffering all the privations of
campaign in foreign land against powerful
foe, only thought of the ssstars and stripes'' of
their own government as some and inseparable.'
This fair fabric is to be rent asunder and all sour
pleasant places which our fathers looked upon,
''laid waste' and to become a by-word to the
nations of the world-all all to crafty the wish
es of fanatics of North and South.

The AMALGAMATIoE OF LANGUAGEs-There is
growing tendency ip this to appropriate the most
expressive-words nfother languages and after while
to incorporate them into own; thus the word
Cephalc, which is from the Greek, signifying "for
the head" is now becoming popuarzedi in connection
with Mr.. Spaldings great Headache remedy, but it
will soon be used in a more general way. and the
word Cephalic will become as common as Eectrotype
and many others whose distinction as foreign words
has been worn away by common usage until they
seem 'native and to the manor born"
