TRINITY CouNTY.-A correspondent of the
Nation, writing from Weaverville, thus no
tices a speech delivered there by Humphrey
Griffith on the 14th inst:
"The meeting was much the largest one
had here this season, for we are pretty much

knew the treat in store for u.s. | cannot re-
frain from contrasting the matter of Grilfi h's
speech with that of those made by Montgon.-
cry and Others of his stripe, who have favor
ed US with their presence They have CON
fined themselves to abuse Of Stephen A.
Douglas, and of the loyal Democracy who
are rallying to his support. The Black Re
publicans escape unharmed. The Disunion
orators have no venom to throw upon the
representative of the doctrine of the ire
pressible conflict. Not so with Griffith. He
gave the Blacks a sound drubbing, and real
ly seemed to feel that the contest was be-
tween Douglas and Lincoln. Il verify be-
lieve such will be the case all over the State
| know it is so in this region) y
lie denounced in terms of bitterness the Sc
session movement, and those who had been
instrumental in bringing it about.
The speech was splendid and suggestful
eifort-the best | ever heard, even from
Griffith. The audience was wild with en-
thusiasm during its delivery, and at its con-
clusion the cheering continued for some min
utes.
This county will rs surely give handsome
majority for Douglas and johnson as that
the day Of election will arrive Siskivou is
not more certain, and that none of the oppo-
sition dare to claim.

LARGEST MELON IN THE WoRLD.-We have
ascertained the maximum size for watermel-
ons. 1t is 6sl pounds in weight, five feet
four inches in circumference, longitudinally,
and three feet five inches latitudinally. But
the most remarkable thing about this melon
As that it is one af a family of ten, which
were picked from one vine, on the ranch Of
Mr.. G. g. Briggs, and were to be seen yes
terday at his depot on Third street. The
aggregate weight of the ten was 5l9l pounds
and the smallest one weighed 4Sl pounds
From 1851 to 1855, Briggs melons had the
reputation of being the best in the State
For the last four or five years he has not
raised any at all, but this year be thought he
would try his hand on a single vine, just to
see if he had forgotten how the thing was
done. The result has proven that he under
stands the business as well as ever.

"By reference to our editorial head it will be
seen that we have hauled down the disorgan-
izing Breckenridge and Lane electors and in
their stead have hoisted those pledged to the
support of the National nominees, Stephen
A. Douglas and Herschel V. Johnson

The MEN WHO TRUST nM.-The Sacramento

Herschel V. Johnson, of Georgia, Pierre
Soule, of Louisiana, Isaac E. Morse, of Louis
lana, Miles Taylor, of Louisiana, A. II. Ste
phens, of Georgia, Henry S. Foote, of Missis
sippi. and latterly of Tennessee, and other
supporters of DOUGLAS, to show that they
were once great stickers for the rights of the
South. Well, they are still great sticklers
for the rights of the South, and, when they
are willing to trust Stephen A. Douglas with
those rights, it shows that the South is safe
in his hands.

BACKING DowN.-1n another column will
be found an account Of the speeches of Col.
Whitesdes, Mr.. DeLong and others at Han
sonville on the 9th inst, it being sort of
free discussion and debate, between Douglas
and anti Douglas candidates. 1t was called
as Breekinrilge meeting and the Breckin-
ridge candidates would not allow the Doug
las candidates TO speak, unless they, the
Breckinridgers, could have the opening and
the closing. Notwithstanding this was agreed
to, so averse was Colonel Whitesides to hav-
ing full discussion of the issues, that he gave
the public to understand that he did not want
Charley DeLong TO follow him any further
or to meet him at any other place,
This we learn from a private correspon-
dent.
The Colonel must think he has bad cause
if he is thus afraid to defend it.

He DOES Nor ANSWER. The
boast of Douglas during his search
tor his maternal parent, is, that he
has no opinions to conceal. At Au.
gusta, Maine, a question was pro.
pounded to him on paper, by a re-
spectacle citizen, before Douglas
arose to speak. Mr.. D. read it, and
promised to answer it in the course
OF his speech. But that was the last
heard OF the question or the answer.
The question was as follows:
"Do you hold, and if elected
President OF the United States, would
you carry ont .he doctrine that the
people OF territory, before it be-
comes state, have the power, un.
der the federal Constitution, and
notwithstanding the Dred Scott De-
cision, to prohibit or exclude slavery
'herefrom!"
In other words:
"Do you affirm that the people OF
a territory have the constitution al
right to the cockutricc's eggs, as
soon as these are deposited in it's
nest by the propagandists nf slavery,
or must they tolerate the incubation,
and wait till the eggs become full.

The DespOtism of Slavery.

One OF the sayings of the immor-
tai Jefferson, which will be remem
bered through all time, was to the
effect that "error is not to be- feared
so long as truth is left free to COM
bat it," Since his day, the de
mands of slavery have so increased
that the freedom of speech, and the
freedom OF the piess are just As much
unknown in the slave states as il
France or Russia. Truth is mana
cled and chained, instead OF being
left free to combat error and wrong
The despotism of slavery is just as
exacting and oppressive as the dee
potism Of the Autocrst Of Russia.
A fresh illustration of the iron
rule OF slavery has just been furnish
ed. The Fee South, which, after
having been published by Mr. Bfi
ley and his daughters at Newport
Kentucky, for several years, it will
he remembered was mobbed some
time since, and destroyed. Sine,

cured, new materials purchased, and
last week the first number OF the
Free South was circulated.
