Heroizing Hickman.

The New York Express remarks that the
Republicans do not do justice TO Northern
pluck aud backbone in making martyr of
the switched Hickman, andin SO doing they
utterly misrepresent Northern sptit, soil and
sentiment
g. The North,'' says the Express, docs not
fight duels, for duelling in Northern estima-
ton, is deliberate murder but the North
does expect every man it sends to Congress to
protect and defend his own person rom con-
tumely, or assault and battery. The North
hopes that all its Congressman viii talk and
act and deliberate like gentlemen but even
il they do not, as Hickman has not, they do
not expect them to submit to ''switchngs'' II
martyr was made of non-resisting Sumner,
the martyrdom arose from the belief, that on
the floor of the U. S. Senate, in the discharge
of his duties, he was unfairly assaulted and
taken advantage of with no means of protect
ing his person. But here, Hickman his been
Switched" in the open iields-it maybe un-
preparedly-but his proper place is before
Edmundson in Washington, and not shome,
heroizing'i in Pennsylvania.
what is Hickman to do ? we are asked.
We are not called upon to reply, perhaps,
further than to say, men who tantalize, bully,
and fight whole sections of country, as lie has
been in the habit Of doing for eight weeks
past, in Congress and out of it, should ba pre-
pared, if not for the fight they provoke for
defence from the fight they are provoking.
His proper place after being switched, GER
tainly is not Pennsylvania, there whining y
but in Washington and before Edmundson.
A switching is not a punishment for any white
man to submit to, especially such a white
man as assumes to represent the Northern
people. Whoever, in Congress, we may add
submits to Southern switching, as geneml
thing, deserves to be switched"
The weekly Mississippian. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1859-1864, 1860-03-14
Washington News.

Under late date the Washington corre-
spondent of the Picayune writes:
Tomorrow, perhaps, Senator Jefferson
Davis will bring before the Senate the series
of resolutions agreed to by the Democratic
Senators, in caucus, concerning the rights Of
slave owners in the Territories. The resolu-
tons assert the right of slave owners in Ter
ritories to protection in their property /; and
declare that il the Federal Courts and the
Territories fail to give them such protection,
the legislative branch of the Government
should do it. Mr.. Douglas will denounce
the resolutions, but they will probably be
adopted.
The resolutions will no doubt be engrafted
on the Charleston platform. They will be
generally acceptable to Southern delegates,
and none but the Douglas delegates of the
North viii object to them. 1t would appear,
therefore, that Douglas and his squatter
sovereignty doctrine are to be ruled out OF
the convention The general opinion is, here,
that Southern man will be the nominee for
the Presidency, with Gov Seymour, of New
York, as Vice President.
There is slight furry among Mr.. D. S.
Dickinson's friends, who think it possible that
he may be the nominee, if the South cannot
unite on a candidate from their own section.
Mr. Pierce has also small number of friends
who, in the same contingency, may present
his name Mr. Douglas will be run by his
friends upon an independent ticket in case he
IS oyer-slaughed by the Convention, and the
Democratic Senatorial caucus resolutions
made the chief plank of the platform. The
Chicago organ of Mr.. Douglas manifests this
design very plainly.
The weekly Mississippian. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1859-1864, 1860-03-14

The Louisville Courier, in noticing the ex-
agserated reports as to the strength of Mr..
Douglas for the nomination at Charleston, cor
rcc;ly says:
Grant Mr. Douglas all the siren 9Th in the
Southern States that his friends even
claim-aDd their claims are characterized by
the most uRblush;ng disregard OF truth and
the most shameless want Of respect for public
opnion-and still it is more than counter
balanced by the violent opposition to him in
the Northern States If nominated, he will
need every" Democratic vote in each of the
Northern States which, to be elected, he must
necessarily carry. lie cannot spare vote
from the Democratic strength in Indiana, for
instan"e a tritling detection there, and the
State is lost. Can he, if nominated get the
united and hearty support Of the Democracy
of that State ? VIII the numerous friends
of Senator Bright and Fitch forget and for
give ,his votes with the Black Republicans to
eject these gentlemen from their seats in the
Senate VIII the Democracy Of the Stale
forget that he used his influence to deprive
them OF voice in the United States Senate
VIII Mr. Hughes and the Democracy OF his
district forgive him for their defeat in the last
Congressional canvass If we grant that
majority Of the Democrats Of Indiana, blessed
with an unusual share of. the divine feeling
which enables them to return good for evil,
WILL notwithstanding these things, support
Mr. Douglas for President, it must be admit
ted that respectable minority, with more OF
human nature in their composition and less OF
the spirit of forgiveness, will not vote for him !;
and the smallest possible loss Of this kind,
carries the State against him.
A private letter, from one of the best In
formed men in the State, estimates the num-
Der of Democrats who cap neither be coaxed
nor driven into the support of Douglas, in
Indiana, at twenty thousand. One fourth of
that number coul1 carry the State against
him. The same state of feeling, caused by
similar circumstances, exists in each of the
free States And that such is the case, is
known to the friends ofthat gentlemen. Hence
their advocacy of his claims AMOUNTS to an
expression Of wish to have the party de-
feated
To succeed, the nominee of the Charleston
Convention must be man wko has the con-
ii1ence of the nation, who can carry the vote
OF the Southern States, and who is not "per-
scnally' Objectionable to the Northern De-
mocracy. With such a man a triumph is as
certain as any future event can be. With any
good sound man, success is probable. With
candidate who is obnoxious to any consider
able portion of either section, defeat is inevi-
table The course to be pursued is clear. No
principal must be conceded or compromised ;
mere personal preferences and prejudices
must be ignored; and, other things being
equal, the Statesman who is least Objectionable
to all portions of the National Democracy,
must be chosen.
