MONROE, July 4th, 1860.

Nessrs Editors: This being Court week, on yes
terday Mr. Fox. the democratic eector, addressed
large concourse of people upon the political issues
of the dav. [ did not have the pleasure OF hear
ing the opening of his Speech but understand that
he declared for Breckenridge and Lane. When
heard him he was showing up the black record OF
Bell and Everett in very mastery manner. he
showed the inconsistency of the opposition, that
in their "wild hunt after office" they were willing
to affiliate with any party, to pander 10 the preJc
dices of classes if thereby they could attain their
object He discussed tie question of ad valorem
warned the democracy to beware of it, that 1t
was a cheat intended to deceive-that it was the
same old coon with another ring round Its tail
Upon the whole. it a good effort. lie was
often greeted with the applause of the audience.
Gen. Walkup, after Mr. Fox was through, arose
and stated that he was glad to see 20 many OF his
fellow citizens present, and announced himself
candidate to represent them in the Senate OF the
next General Assembly. He was sorry that Mr.
Bynum, the opposition Elector, was not present
to respond to Mr. Fox; but that was the case, he
would endeavor to reply to some of his arguments,
which he did by lauding the misunderstanding
charges of corruption against the democratic party

DEMOCRATIC MEETING IN LINCOLN.

Pursuant to notice, the Democratic party il
Lincoln county met in the Court House in lincoln
ton on the 10th inst to ratify the nomination of
Breckenridge and Lane. The meeting was a full
one and much interest evinced.
On motion, Lawson Hill, Esq, called to the
Chair, and i. Il. Thompson, Esq explained the
object of the meeting, and introduced the follow
ing resolutions:
Resolved, That we, the Democratic party of
Lincon fully and cordially endorse and ra,ity the
action OF the majority OF the delegation from North
Carolina in the late Baltimore Convention.
Resolved, That the action Of said majority in
the National Democratic Convention, in non!ina-
TING Hon. Jno. C. Breckenridge for PRESIDENT and
Gen. Joseph Lane for Vice PRESIDENT meets our
unanimous and hearty approval
Resolved, That will support said nominees
and use all honorable means to secure their elcc-
ton
Mr. Thompson enforced these resolutions with
able and pointed speech OH the present aspect
of the party, and the duty of all patriots i'll the
impending crisis. He was listened to with atten-
ton by all.
VIM. Lander Esq, one of our delegates to the
Baltimore Convention, being called for, gave full
aud detailed account Of the transactions in Charles
ton and Baltimore, eloquently portraying the in
justice sought to be perpetrated the South by
the men "who came to Baltimore for Douglas or
nobody" His account of the chicanery practised
to exclude the true State delegations from the
South and admitting bogus delegations, % some Of
whom never cast democratic vote and OF the
viudic,ive power which sacrificed the noble Hallet,
made every heart beat with Indignation, and the
applause which met his appeal for his vindication
in repudiating such men, told that his fellow-cit-
zens appreciated and loved him for his action.
Mr. Lander claimed that breckenridge and Lane

such would 60 before the country; but especial
~ did he appeal to the South to sustain the only
platform of principles where her rights were dis
tinctly recognized, and to rally to the support of
nominees upon whom ''there no spot Or polit-
Cal bemish -men who have both sustained their
country's honor the bloody fields of Mexico,
and adorned her counses with their wisdom and
cloquence. The speech was a noble vindcation
of his course and masterpiece of argument and
eloqucmce
The resolutions then unanimously adopted,
and, motion, ordered to be published III the

requested to copy.

MR. BRFcKINRIDGE's POSITION.

An effort has'been made to prove that Mr. Brock
inridge is an advocate of Territorial or Squatter
Sovereignty by quoting from his speech in 1856.
Last week we denied the correctness of any such
charge, and we now quote from speech delivered
by Mr. Breckenridge, before the Kentucky Legis-
lature, on the 21st December, 1889 to show that
he considers the DreG Scott decision having
settled the question that the Territorial Legisa-
lures have power to abolish injure slavery by
unfriendly Legislation or otherwise. Mr. Breckin-
ridge said
"Gentlemen, I accept the decision of the Su-
preme Court of the United States on every ques-
ton, within It's jurisdiction, whether 1t cores
ponds with my private opinion or not. | accept it
the moro cordially when, in the case of Tired
Scott it accords with my convictions L approve
the opinion Of the Supreme Court in that case, in
all its parts, sound exposition OF the Constitu-
ton and the law, and of the relations of the black
race to the white race under our political system.
The fact that neither Congress nor a territorial
legislature can constitutionally exclude from, or
confscate in territory, private property, having
been judically determined by the highest court in
the United States, [ confess that did not antici-
pate the doctrine of unfriendly territorial legsla
ton in regard to African slaves. 1t has no war
rant from the Constitutions if recognize the
highest judicial Interpretation of that instr'-
meut.
So that in regard to every description Of pro-
perty, including slaves, recognized and regarded
by the Constitution it is the duty Of the courts of
the country to protect and guard it whenever the
question is brought before them. To which | add
that every good citizen will admit that the decisions
Of the courts within their appropriate sphere must
be sustained and enforced In common with many
public men, [ hold that the existing machinery of
our government is adequate to execute the deci-
sions Of the judicial tribunals. But should the
time ever arrive when decision of a competent
court question of private right is likely to fail
for want of adequate remedies to execute it, those
remedies, executive or Legislative if need be- shall
be afforded, government is failure-and from
this conclusion I see escape for any just mi nd
that would uphold the authorities Of the country

THE CA rLE DISEASE IN IRELAND.-The Brit
sh papers report that the subject of the cattle dis
case recently brought before the Irish Agricul-
turai Society by Capt. Bell, who stated that it had
made such frehttul ravages among the dairy COWS,
OF that country, that farmers have refraned from
investing in this otherwise remunerative stock,
many of them lasins lost by this fatal epidemic
every milch cow they possessed.
But remedy, or rather specific, has been dis
covered, which has proved none the less eiectual
that it is Ola most extraordinary and here at least
novel character, being neither more nor less
than Turkish bath DR. Barter cured seven out of
eight d>tempered animals on the first experiment;
and he showed farmer who had lost thirty COWS
by the malady how, for $50, he could construct a
rude bath, which on being set up and tested PROV
ed cfectua in saving all the of the cattle that
caught the disease.
The Boston Transcript says that since the adj
journment of the Legislature, and the cows went
to grass the cattle disease appears to have suddenly
disappeared in that State.

THE CRops.-A brief trip to Raleigh, taken

We sorry to say that our information gained,
is not encourag ing. The corn down in New Han
Overland Dupln looks better than it does farther up.
In part OF Wayne, Johnston and Wake, the crops
both OF corn and cotton look sorry" The cold
Spsing prevented a ''stand' of cotton being OBJ
tanned, so that frequently, even where the plants
are healthy and vigorous, they are altogether too
scattering to promise anything like remunerative
yield. The older corn appeared good deal fired
by the late excessive heat and drought. while the
late corn don't grow at all, from the same cause.
The water courses are also very low UHnting-
