Captain Estelle's Speech at Canton,

The Commonwealth publishes the follow
ing sketch of recent speech of our towns
men, Capt. Estelle, at Canton:
The speaker engaged the attention of the
audience for two hours; yet such was the stir
ring character of his eloquence, and so inter-
esting the topics discussed that every one re-
gretted the conclusion of his speech The
leading subject OF his discourse was the insti.
tuition of slavery, in its various aspects; in dis
cussing which, he sho cd that it was the only
means yet devised to saye human society from
the perilous- and perpetual conflict between
labor and capital--a conflict which had III all
ages and in every country where free labor
existed, terminated in sabiecting the toilinc
million to the control of Il select number who
ultimately got possession of the Government
and controlled the masses by standing armies
The effect Of African slavery, as the insti.
tuition exists in the South, in amelioratipp the
condition of man throughout Christendon
and in elevating the character of the peonla
among whom it is established, was illustrated
and enforced with great power. The contrast
between the non-slaveholders and white Ia
borers Of the South, on the one part, and those
of the North on the other, was shown to be
reminently favorable to the former in every
thing, which Constitutes freeman in fact
Ours was the only state of society where the
white laborer seemed free from the dictaton o
capital.
| Having shown the beneiicent character o.
negro slavery, and especially the deep inter.
est Of the white laborers Of the South in its
! continuance and extension, Capt Estelle pro,
ceeded to examine the Platforms Of the seyera
parties inreierence to it. In this examination
/ he showed that the positions of both Lincoln
ann Douglas were hostile TO it. while that o
| the Bell Everett party was entirely non-com
mittdl. He then referred to tie platform on
which Breckinridge and Lane stand, as the
only one that promised protection to slaves as
to all other species Of property-the only on,
that asserted Southern equality in the Ameri.
can Union. Under such circumstances, he
felt that he could not appeal in vain to the
Southern heart in favor Of our gallant standard
bearers.

Who are the Nullifers Z
Under the above caption the Bangor (Me.)

Under the above caption the Bangor (Me.)
Union has the following pertinent article
On Monday evening last in the course Of
some remarks at meeting of the Democrats
of Hampden, we alluded to the dangers that
might result to the Union from the inaugura-
ton Of Abraham Lincoln as President Of the
United States, and to the intensity of the
Southern feeling on that subject. Some Re
publicans present sneered at the idea that they
would make any resistance to the placing Of
the powers Of the General Government in the
hands of a man elected on principles ofavoYed
hostility to their institutions, and among them
was the Republican representative elect Of
Hampden to the Legislature.
To test the question, whether the South
would have any reason to regard the inaugu-
ration OF Mr.. Lincoln as dangerous to their
institutions and 10 their rights under the
Constitution, we asked Of Republicans pre-
sent if the Republican United States MsTshals
that might he appointed under Mr.. Lincoln's
Administration ic0uld erecute The Fugitive
!SlaUe LdaC The emphatic answer was NO :"
and among those who thus replied was the
Representative elect aforesaid.
As we were proceeding TO show what the
effect on the South had been Of Northern
notification of the Fugitive Slave clause ofthe
Constitution by Republican State Govern
ments, and what must he the inevitable effect
on the same South of the notification of the
same clause by the U. s. Government for the
support of which the South pay equally with
the North, we were interrupted by the afore-
SAID Representative, who proceeded to qualify
and explain his negative answer by declaring
thatsthe u. s. Marshals should not execute
the Fugitive Slave law unless the fugitive
should first have trial dgJUy in the State
where he was found.
The Fugitive Slave law makes no provision
for trial by Jury. and therefore the gentle
mans explanation involves the absurdity Of
constituting Marshal judge of the justice
or injustice of precept he is commanded to
execute. A strange intermingling of the leg
i>lative, judicial and executive functions Of q
Government in one person
We have been thus explicit in regard to
this little episode, because the gentleman in
question is Republican Representative elect
from the town of Hampden is one of the
rght-hand men of Hannibal Hainlin, the Re-
publican candidate for Vice President, and
received his vote and support at the polls in
our late State election. -

John Bell and Henry Winter Davis.

Let it be remembered that j ohm Bell in the
Senate, and Henry Winter Davis in the House,
acted with the Black Republicans in opposing
the admission Of Kansas under the Lecomp-
ton Constitution, that they both hail from slave
holding States, and that they have both been
spoken Of in kind and favorable terms, by such
abolition sheets as Horace Greeley's Tribune.
Let it be remembered, that Henry Winter
Davis is still working with and for John Bell.
Let it he remembered, that in the late speech
Of Davis iof Bell, extracts from which were
given in late issue, he asserted the following
proposition, to wit:
1st. That Congress has the po0er if it see
fit to e1c1,a1e or to admit slavery in any Ter
ritory''
This proposition includes the Wilmot Pro-
viso, and proves Davis TO be Wilmot Pro.
yiso man.
Now, as Davis and Bell were members of
Congress at the same time, and as Davis bad
good opportunities for ascertaiDing Bells opin-
ions why is it that Davis, an able and deter
mined Wilmot Proviso man, takes the stump?
Does not Davis know that he and Bell agree
in their mode of constituting the Constitution
of the United States? Can single Wilmot
Proviso man, in any slayeholding State, be
nameG who is for Breckenridge? Has Gree
ley's Tribune, or any other abolition sheet,
spoken of Breckinridge in the kind and favor
able terms employed as to Davis or Bell =? Is
it not time for the people Of the South to con-
slider questions like the above?
See also what Thaddeus Stevens, an old
Wing and Black Republican Of Pennsylvania,
said in his speech few days ago. We give
the following extract from that speech:
OF Messrs Bell and Everett have little to
say. know the head of that ticket well. A
more pure or able man can hardly be found.
In most things he agrees with the Republican
party. lie is in favor Of the protection Of
American industry. He believes that Con-
gress has sovereign power over the Terrific.
ries In one thing only do we differ. In hos.
tility to modern Democracy we cordially
agree Hence it astonishes me TO see his
friends in the free States directing their hos.
tility against the Republicans, and coalescing
with Democrats. No one is mad enough t.
suppose that Bell can be elected by the people
or the House Of Representatives. II by posi-.
bility they could give free State to Douglas
or Breckenridge, it would only send the cleo
ton to Congress, where Joe Lane, the most
unfit of the whole lot, would be made Presi-
dent What would the friends of Bell gain
thereby? The scoln of both parties-the favor
ofnone How different would it be if Lincoln
were elected. His administration cannot be
a sectional one. for that would violate the prin-
cples Of Republieansm. He must select a
portion Of his Cabinet and many of his office
holders from the South. Where should we
90 for them but among the Southern Opposi-
ton. No where could he find truer or safer
men. What Republican would object to such
men as Bell or Etheridge, Bolts, Bates, Ray
ner or H. Winter Davis.

A Female Emissary.

An examination was held at Charleston, S.
c., on Friday morning, by Mayor Macbeth, OF
one Mrs. Catherine Bottsford, a female ofrather
prepossessing appearance, charged by several
respectable citizens with uttering and dissem-
mating among the slave population seditious
sentiments. During the investigation she ad-
nitted entertaining the Abolition sentiments
attributed to her and of being an admirer Of
John Brown. She denied, however, any at
tempt TO circulate her opinions. The evidence
and affidavits submitted showed to the con-
trary, and she was required to give bail in the
sum of $500 for her good behavior. Failing
in this she was turned over to Magistrate Kama
paux who committed her to Jail.
We learu from the Courier that the accusaed
states that she has resided in the city about
nine months, during which time she has fol-
lowed the occupation Of seamstress. She
also states that she hoped to obtain the sit
uation Of teacher. Officer Schouboe, who
arrested her, had been watching her move
ments for some time past. The case will
probably undergo investigation at the JAN
uary.. term Of the Court of General Ses-
sions.

AUGUSTA, MISS, UcI0bef 2.
Mn. ED1ToR: Our election wound up this
evening, and have the pleasure OF announcing
to you the complete triumph of the "unterri-
fed" viz:
Bradley against Simmons, majority; Lee
against Denham, 65 majority; Hathorn against
Allen, 129 majority.
The vote for Lee against Denham, I think
may be taken as a criterion to judge of the
strength Of the relative parties. We scorn tc
strike fallen foe, but tongue nor pen, cannot
express the qualification, the satisfaction, thai
is abroad in the land of Perry.
n. B. Perry is good for Breckinridge.-
