DEMOCRATIC PROSPECTS.

1t has become the fashion Of late for th,
friends of every Democratic Presidential
aspirant to insist that no man save thei
especial favorite can be elected if nomina
ted. Nothing can be more silly The Dem
ocratic party is party of principles
" Principles not men" is our motto ant
though personal popularity may effect tho
vote of our nominee somewhat, in certain
localities, yet, any man who stands sguarely
and unshrinkingly upon the platform of the
party, will receive nearly its whole vote
and can, and will, be elected. The only
danger is that the representatives of She
party, when they shall assemble at Charles
ton, may be induced to subordinate princi.
pie to expediency, by seeking to nominate
some man because he can, or it is supposed
be can carry some particular State or States,
and in doing so, nominate some man not
known and proved to be sound and reliable
upon the great issues of principle before
the country upon which the battle must be
fought. We warn them that such would
be fatal error. The puIsations of the
Democratic heart throughout the Union,
beat responsive to the declarations of the
Constitution. 1t will admit Of no compro
mise with the guarantees of that instru.
ment. Therefore to secure the votes of the
party where it is strongest, and in those
States which are and must be its reliance,
the candidate must be one who has acquired,
by lifetime Of answering devotion to
States rights, the obligations of the Con
stitution, and the recognized doctrines aud
measures Of the Democratic party, full
and perfect claim to its confidence. Let
such man be nominated, and we care not
who he is, his election, in our judgment, is
certain The South is sure for him in a
body, and the conservative element in the
North will, of necessity, rally to his support,
and, Of necessity, aid the tried and true
Democracy of that section to overthrow the
traitorous hordes of abolition fanaticism,
from the very instinct of self preservation
even if patriotism does not enter into the
motives that infame them to this course
Lane, Pierce, Guthrie, Davis, Seymour, and
many other worthless whom we might enum-
eTatey possess all the attributes we need for
a successful candidate why, then, make
the contest doubtful one by casting round
for a candidate who lacks any of those essen.
tial requisites? Why think of nominating
a man like Douglns, who has fought the
party and now maintains an attitude of
distin,t aud unqualified opposition to the
Administration and to the recognized head
of the partyy Ii men who propose to do
this think the chances Ct candidate any
better because he has placed himself in
direct antagonism to all the leading politii.
clans and most of the people of the South,
upon vital issue, we advise them to push
his nomination through, If they can-if not,
we advise them to pause and consider, and
may induce wiser conclusion.

MEETING TO ORGANIZE A MILITARY Asso
CITATION.


Pursuant to notice, meeting of the
citizens of YaSoo county was held at the
Court House, 10 Yazoo City, on Monday
evening, the Goth inst. On motion, Hon.
james r. Burrus was called to the Chair,
and W. S. Epperson appointed Secretary.
The Chairman, in brief speech relative
to the times and the occasion, explained
the object of the meeting to be for the pur-
pose of forming Military Association and
Rife Company in Yazoo county. And to
this end, all citizens of the county we're
earnestly requested to become members, and
cooperate in the project, either by becOm-
ing annual subscribers in sum hereafter
by them to be agreed upon, to aid in de-
fraying the expense of equipping the Rifle
Company, or by enrolling themselves as
active members of the Company. 1t being
understood that the arms and necessary
accoutrements for the Company be furnish
ed by the State; the State also agreeing to
furnish certain amount of money (not
now exactly known towards its maintain
ance.
The true intent and meaning of the or
ganization being that all necessary expen,
ses for the full, complete equipment and
support of the Company be paid by the
contributing members of the Association,
assisted by the material aid derived from
the State. na
On motion of Hon. Robert Bowman, all
persons present friendly to the object of the
meeting, were requested TO enroll their names
as members of the Military Association
and Rife Company proposed to be formed,
ard under this motion the following sigma

We see that some Of the Southern 0pBostioz
journals are quoting with apparent sanction, the
statement Of Northern papers that the election oil
Pennington to the SpeakerShip is a defeat of Nor.
tbern Sectionalism. We cannot see why this ID
done, uRlsss it be to palliAte the Iillainy and
treason Of one Henry Winter Davis, who is a
Southern American, and by his vote elected Pen
nington, who is as obnoxious to the South as the
blacklist Of the Black Republican party. He per.
sistently voted for Sherman for Speaker as long
as he was before the House as candidate. 1t i.
said he did not endorse the Helper Book, but he
voted for the traitor who did and thereby became
the second endorser Of this ncendiary and trea-
sonable book. After the election his appointed
Sherman and other Black Republicans of the deep
est dye Chairmen Of oil the important Commit
tees in the House. As for ourselves we confess
we know not how TO Discriminate between the
guilt of the chief and his confederate in treason.
II the South has descended to such low and de-
graded position as to congratulate hesself upon
such defeat of sectiOnalism as the election Of
Pennington is claimed to be, she indeed deserves
the pity at least If she does not receive the con-
tempt Of the civilized world But we are satisfied
that there are but few in our midst, and they
prompted more by hatred to the Democratic par
~ than by patriotism, who con find any casse for
selfgratulation in the election Of an endorser Of
Sherman and Helperism, to the third office of the
Federal Government, and MS we said in the be-
ginning, we cannot see why Southern Opposition
journals make such an intimAtion unless it be to
break the force Of the concentrated scorn and in
dignatiOn which all true Southern men feel for the

The Douglas papers are publishing lot
ter written by Miles Taylor, Esq, a member
of Congress from Louisiana, as an indication
of the feeling of the Southern Democracy il
favor of Mr.. Douglas, for President. Refer
ring to this letter, and to Mr.. Taylor's posi-,
ton, the New Orleans Daily Courier says:
Mr. Miles Taylor stands, SO far, solitary
and alone in the ignoble and scandalous po'
sition Of Southern Representative support
ing Stephen A. Douglas for the Presidency
He is without peer in bis shameful betraya
of the dignity and rights of a slaveholdinl
Southern constituency into the hands Of those
who make the meanest and most despicablt
of all wars which can be waged against The
rights of free and loyal people-tbat O.
ambuscade, and tEeacherous and cowardly
pretension to fricndship-while an armed
hand is actually raised to strike the confdinl
victim. If any parallel can be found for Mr.
Taylor, it must be sought in the person o
the infamous Henry Winter Davis, of Balti
more, who went to Washington with BIZ
representative robes dripping with the gor,
of murdered citizens, slain to accomplish bi
triumph, by the rufians Of that dishonoret
Icity, and who has completed his self imposed
task Of political baseness by casting his vot
for Speaker in favor Of Pennington, the New
Jersey Black Republican, who himself votes
as long as the chance offered, for Sherman
the endorser Of the Helper iniquity. Thes
two men are thus made q noble pair Of bro
theirs, linked together with bonds Of equa
disgrace IN the eyes Of all loyal and patriot
Southerners.
Ere now men have gone mad, througl
excess Of good or bad fortune, through grief
despair, or sudden panic, but Miles Taylor
madness, under which he penned this Outra
geous letter, surely grew out Of bitter an
venomous hatred Of the very political part
to whose undeserved kindness be owes an th

SpIRIT OF ALABAMA WoMEN.--The la-
dies Of Demopolis, Ala, are circulating the
following resolutions, which have already
been numerously signed:
Whereas, the Northern section Of the
Uuion is placing itself in antagonism to the
institutions, rights and equality Of the South
in this Confederacy, and its politicians,
teachers and divines have GIFTED the ire OF
fauaticism, which, if unresisted, will lay
waste our land and desolate our firesldes-
And whereas, it is becoming in us to
withhold our aid and support from our avow'
ed enemies, wo will, as our sacred duty, to
encourage the development Of the industrial
resources of our State and the South there
fore be it
ResosUed, That we but emulate the patri-
otism of our mothers of the Revolution,
when we declare that we are ready TO prac-
tice any self,denial to assist our fathers, our
husbands, our brothers and our sons, in
maintaining their rights to liberty and indie,
pendence.
Resolved, That for this purpose, and to
contribute our humble mite to the advances
meut of Southern commerce, Southern man,
ufactures and Southern industry, we hereby
pledge ourselves to purchase no article Of
Northern manufacture no books from North
crn publishing houses, and no goods bought
in Northern markets, fiom and after the LIST
day of March, 1860, even should we have to
resort to the primitive "hOmespun," or the
e., hrics nf o,1r own handiwOrk
Resolued, Tha. we will not hereafter sup
port Northern preacher employ North
ern teacher, or travel in Northern cline
in pursuit of health or pleasure.
Resolvcd further, That the foregoing res
olution shall be binding upon US until the
questions now efecting our political exist
cnce and our lives be determined fairly and
justly to our section; or until the South
shall take her stand among the nations Of
the world, and the people of the North as
she holds the rest of mankind, "enemies il
war, in peace, friends"

One hundred and three thousand votes in
New York city. and doubtless as many as
$4,000 of them do not know how to read and
write What pity The other $4,000
have immensely the advantage of them, be-
cause they can read this paragraph and write
at once to Hodges, Davis & Co., of the State
Lotteries, Macon, Ca, inClOsiDg from so to
Sl6 for tickets, and then the not uncommon
result is q rich return, sometimes thousand
fold and more, in cashed prizes. We advise
the $4,000 to be even with the others, and

JUDGE TEKRY.-The Evening Bulletin
has the following allusion to rumor that
Judge Terry had left the State:
All but one of our contemporaries have
given currency to the statement that Judge
Terry, at whose hands Senator Broderick
was killed, left on one of the steamers yes.
terday for the east. The rumor reached us
yesterday afternoon, but little investigation
showed as it was untrue, The Judges family
left on the Cortez, for New Orleans, and
as he himself was on the wharf seeing them
off, it was natural to guess that he too had
gone. AS Judge Terry is under $4,000
bonds to appear and answer the charge pre-
Eerred against him, it is not likely that he
would leave the State.
