Deserving the Sinking Ship.


Mr.. II. ]. st. Johns, the Douglas elector
for the Murfresboro' (renn.) District, has
published letter declaring his purpose to
support Breckenridge and Lane:
While thus admire Mr. Douglas for his
talent and services, am at the same time
anadmirer of John c. Breckenridge aud Joseph
lane, whose patriotic services enttle them to
an equal share of public confidence. Then
permit me to say that none more deeply regret
the present state OF things than do. Evils
that are upon us, however, must of necessity
exhaust their strength IN destroying whatever
virtue they may Were / living in State
where there is chance for Mr.. Douglas |
would certainly give him hearty support.
ALI are acquainted with the state Of facts in
Tennessee, there is no man SO ardent for Mr..
Douglas as to say he has the shadow Of a
chance in Tennessee, or that he will be bene-
fitted by having a ticket here, Notwithstanding
he is the faYorite Of many. In Tennessee the
contest is wholly between Breckinridge and
Bell; that being the case, those who prefer
MIR. Bell to Breckinridge can with consistency
vote for Mr.. Douglas--thus throw away
their votes except so far as it assists Bell. As
for me, l prefer breckenridge and Lane to
Bell and Everett. Every two votes cast for
Mr.. Douglas are equivalent to one ior Mr. Bell,
this no one can controvert. There is another
reason why We Douglas men should abandon
our fayorite, &C.
Still Another.
Another Southern Douglas man has been
brought down by the recoil of his leaders,

of Prince William county, Va, heretofore a
Douglas man, who has come out for Breckin-
ridge since reading that speech.
Still Coming.
Maj. JAS. L. Almond, appointed Douglas
elector by Che Staunton Convention for Page
county, Va, has deteruaned to support
Breckenridge and Lane.
More OF the Same Sort.
The evidences Of StcFhen a. Douglas

the erection ofa monument to the memory Of

''In the death Of Simeon r. Adams, ESQ.,. oI
Paulding, this community sustained a serious
and seemingly irreparable loss. Mr. Adams

he accomplished great ends. His energy, his
zeal, his unremitting toll in the ayocation o

to the youth of the country, the most striking
example to excite their emulation and attraci

In view OF the very many public services o

THE ELECTION IN DELAwARE.-On the I'd

The Breckenridge men also elected the in

Bell Worthy Of Place in Lincoln's s
Cabinet,

Hon Thaddeus Stevens, Of Pennsylvania.
made speecha few evenings since to Black
Republican meeting in New York, from which
we take the following extract. We commend
it to the Belleverites of the South. 1t will be
seen among other things equally choice, that
Stevens endorses both Bell and Bolts as good
enough Republicans to be appointed to Lin
coln's Cabinet, or to please any abolitionists,
however fastideous:
With regard to Bell and Everett, he had
little to say In only one thing they differed
from the Republicans. In hostility to modern
democracy they cordially agreed. Hence,
continued Mr.. Stevens, it astonishes me to see
his friends in the free States directing their
hostility against the Republicans, and Goa
lescing with Democrats No one is mad
enough to suppose that Bell can be elected by
the people OF the House of Representatives.
r. by possibility, they could give free StIte
to Douglas or Breckinridge, it would only seud
the election to Congress, where Joe Lane, the
most unfit Of the whole lot, would be made
President What would the friends of Bell
gain thereby? The scorn Of both parties-tlle
| favor of none How different would it be il
| Lincoln were elected His administration
| cannot be sectional one. for that would vio-
late the principles of Republicanism. He
must select portion of his Cabinet and many
of his office holders from the South. Where
shall he go for them but among the Southern
| Onposition. No where could he find safer or
tr,ler men. What Republican would object
to such men as Bell or Etheridge, Botts,
Bates, Rayner, or II. Winter Davis. The pro-
tective system has no truer or ADLER men than
| the Southern Bell men.

+" The Interest of Non-Slayeholders in
the South in the Perpetuation Of
African Slavery"

This question is one of growing Importance,
and is pertinent to the present phase of the
sectional controversy. 1t is treated practi-
eally, and discussed with mastery ability, by
the Hon. A. G. Brown, in the letter which we
publish from his pen to-day, responsive to a
committee of citizens of Carroll county. 1t is
shown that the non-slavehoiders Of the South
are even more deeply interested in the per-
petuity Of the institution of African slavery,
materially and socially, than those who own
slaves; and that the attempt of the abolition
lists to overturn the existing order of things in
the South involves more directly the happi-
ness and well being Of the former than of the
latter class. The reasoning Of the writer in
support of this view is conclusive and ire
sistible.

that a full-grown and blown Haytien, black
as ebony and bearing extraordinary powers
from the august JefFiard of Hayti, made his
annearance in Mobile yesterday, and attracted
Considerable attention. His business here
was to promote the emigration of free negroes
to Hayti, and he represented that vessel was
in readiness to transport such emigrants
thither as might choose to avail themselves of
the opportunity.
His Honor the Mayor, who politely directed
him to His Worship the Sheriff of Mobile

State Of Alabama did not recognize or look

and advised him that speedy departure from
within the limits of this Commonwealth
would probably best comport with the tenor
and spirit of the statutes thereof. The Hay
tor s;en improved the hint. made his way, under
eScort Of the Chief of Police, to the mail boat,
and by the time this reaches the eye of the
reader, will probably be in the Crescent City.
