earnest and imprisoned than usual, and
stirred, with frequent bursts of warm feeling
and feryid eloquence, the enthusiasm of the
Convention into a state of red heat and I'M
comfortable eXplosiycness. Mr.. II. said he
was born an American, he had thus far,
lived an American, and by the blessing of

Hox. II. S. FooTE.-The Union and AHueri-
en- of Sunday, revives Renaissance of the
Opposition Convention of this State, held on
the 29lh of March, 1859, which nominated
JOHN NETHERLAND for Governor. On that
occasion Ex-Gov. FoOTE made speech, in
relation to which the Union and american
quotes the PATRIOT as saying: His speech
was some two hours in length and was
marked by great force and energy" 1t did
not suit the purpose of our neighbOr to give
ANYTHING else the PATRIOT said of that
speech, and we now supply the omission by
reprinting the rest of our reference to it,
which is this:

Ex-Gov. H. s. FOOTE, OF Mississippi, III which
he reviewed with great clearness and power

IN for change IN the administrator Of IT'S Qf-
fairs He opposed a series Of cOrrUptions, inlDli-
eating the highest officials in the last and present
Administrations, an The mailer of Interference an
elections .a
1t is not at all astonishing that the
should have said that Gov. FOoTE addressed
to the Convention a rambling speech, mostly
about himself, Ofconsiderable length"
But for what is this subject brought up at
the present juncture? 1t happens that Gov.
FoOTE is now leading supporter of Mr..
DOUGLAS in this State. And it is to break
the force of his great influence as demo
crat. against BRECKNRIDGE-if indeed it is
not &c connect him directly with the Oppo-
sition. But our neighbOr is totally mis-, aiken.
The last public occasion, before the one in
question. on which Gov. FooTs defined his
party sirius, was, in Memphis, when he de-
clared his support to Mr.. BUCHANAN and his
administration so long as il was worthy Of
his support He doubtless, in the interim,
saw abundant reason, not only To withdraw
that support but to declare his hostility to
it, and he did SO "with great force and en-
ergy.u So far as his Identification. with

THE RIGHTS OF AMERICAN CITIZENs OF For
EIGN BIRTH.--A case of great import ance to
American citizens of foreign birth from the
continent of Europe, and particularly from
France, has just been decided by the French
tribunals. A native of the department of
the lower Rhine, named Michael Z,.iter, emf

France his name had been enrolled for con
scription on tue register, and when he reach
ed the age o: military service the lot fell
upon him to serve. Being absent, the police
were directed to seize him whenever ttey
may find him. An opportunity at length
presented itself. Zeter, little dreaming what
was in store for him, returned to see the spot
where he first drew breath. 1t was at Weis.
senberg. He was arrested as a dcsnrter from
the army. Mr. Faulkner, our Minister at
Paris. demanded his release as Il right. on the
ground that there was no service due from
him al the time OF his emigration. and that

The Constitutional Union Party Of Florida
held a State Convention at Quincy on the
9th ult. The Tallahassee Sentinel says the
Convention, in point of numbers and intelli-
gence, was second TO none that ever assem-
bled in the State. Twenty-Five countrs were
represented, the delegations from some of
them being very large. The utmost har-
the appointment of President was conferred
upon Ex-Gov. THOMAS Brown, who presided
with dignity and impartiality. The follow
ing gentlemen were appointed Presidential
Electors j. A. LANDRUM. WIK. CALL and

the States. -
ResolUed, That if the next, or any future
Congress shall pass laws directly or indirect
ly prohibiting slavery in the Territories, and
the Supreme Court of the United States shall
declare such laws to he Constitutional, the
safety and honor IF the Southern 81 rates will
require of them extreme and decided mea-
sures. That in an eXigency so important no
party should prescribe the course to be pur-
su ed, but "a Convention of the people of the
State should be called TO decide and adopt
such measures as may be necessary.
ResalUed, That we hail with confident hopes

ty in Georgia bids fair to turn out a far
more formidable competitor than our Breck-
inridge friends ever dreamed Of They-the
Douglas men--have the Democratic organi-
cation, and, good or bad, their leaders are
the legitimate representatives of Democracy
This will give them a great advantage in
the ight,one. of which the,opposing faction, in
their blindness, have no present estimate
Johnson has made two speeches, and though
coldly, if not discourteously, received in
both instances, he sowed the seed that are
bound to spring up into harvest, after
many days. His argument upon the consis-

it advocated Squatter Sovereignty. we hear

there is no doubt, but that ;he course of the

learn to keep his temper, to make sad havoc
in the camp of the enemy.

Such was his position then. We make no
defence of Gov. FooTE. He is generally
able to do that for himself. We refer to the
subject only TO state the facts as they are, and
that justice may be done him as well as e
Opposition. And we will add, ez gratia. that
whatever we may think of Gov. FooTE. either
as a statesman or a partisan, he is true and
loyal and brave friend of the Union. What
ever be does in its defence and towards its
perpetuity will be duly appreciated by the
patriotic people of the country, and will be
recorded to his credit in the history of the

We fud in the Marshall Mars, democratic
journal, published at Gunterville, Ala,
DULY 5) a synopsis of a speech made at
Okalona, Miss, by Hon. DAVID HUBBARD.
The speech discusses the political issues of
the day, in connection with the then recent
events at Charleston, fore-shadowing the dis
ruption of the democratic party. 1t is i'm
pOrtant as an indication on the part Of a
leading supporter of the doctrine of protec-
ton of slavery in the territories by Congress
slonal Intervention, CT what may be the re-
suit of refusal Of such protection by Con-
gress. We make an extract, as follows:
- Let Us proceed at once to examine the
relation sustained by each section to the
great issue, Negro or no Negro now before
the country, and which has brought these
| dessensiOns-the nam issue 6etore arI,ch all
Others should and 1riI gUe ray, until is settled
EMANCIPATION AND EQUALITY OF RACES, on one
Stde;-PROTECTION By THE UEI0N GOVERNMENT
IN, OR PROTECTIoN OUT OF 1t, on the other
We give Mr.. HUBBARD the credit of stating
the issue, which he considers before the
country, fairly. He demands, Protection in
the Union, or Protection out # 1t. If~therefore,
Congress refuses to grant his demands, he will
seek remedy in Gisunion. A dis olution of
the Union may be the result of the refusal of
protection By Congress. 1t can only be pre-
vented by the cooperation of the Union-lov-
lug, conservative masses of the country to
prevent it.
Mr.. HUBBARD is a true disciple of the YANCEY
and RHETT school who have forced disrup-
ton of the democratic party, and compelled
fragment of the party to take the doctrine
of protection, which they are using as means
to accomplish the wicked purpose of break
ing up the Federal Government. They know
that Congress will not pass laws to protect
slavery in the territories, and that those who
make the demand must either submit or 90 out
of the Union for protection The supporters of
the observation-disclosures movement in Ten
nessee, may honestly be opposed to resor.ing
to this extreme measure; but how are they to
prevent it. after they have lent their influence
TO fire the Southern heart, and 10 prepare the
Southern mind for it?

The Cleveland Pidindeqier, a democratic
paper, commenting upon the return of Gen
CAss home to Michigan. says
We happen to know that he left Washing
ton with u secret determination neUer to return.
He has come to the conclusion. and so tells
bis confidential friends. that 1.-The Union 4:
about at ITS end. and he has gone home to put
his house in Ord.r preparatory for dissolution
He says the only contingency that can save
the UaiOn is the adoption by the Douglas
Democrats of the North, of the slave code
policy proposed by the Davis Democracy of
the South. He has been waiting, during the
two Conventions at Charleston and Balti-
mnTe, to see the Douglas men cave in to this
P""P":iti"n nc a ITniGu-saving measure. but
he waited in vain. He is satisfied now uhot
the Douglas men can never be driven from
their Popular Sovereignty position, Though
the heavens fall and therefore the MiChi-
gagder is without home and without God in
the world.
If Gen. CASs believes that the Union is ap-
reaching its dissolution, he certainly knows
whence it is to receive it's death stroke. He
ought, as patriot, to point out the traitor
hand that holds the poisoned dagger. Let
him speak boldly.
But in case Gen. CAss does not point out
the source of treason, we cannot fail to as
certain it, if it be true that he believes the
= only contingency that can save the Union
is the adoption by the DOUGLAS democracy of
the slave code policy of the DAVIS democracy
of the South" In this opinion we have the
traitors Enthusiastically pointed out. They are
the DAVIS democracy, the men who broke up
the Democratic pnrty and put BRECKINRIDGE
and LANE forward US Candidates for President
and Vice President. 1t is probable that hese
men may attempt to break up the Union as
they have the democratic party. but there is
one way to thwart them and that is the de-
feat OF their disunon ticket in the South by
such an overwhelming majority as shall rem
der them altogether insignificant. The peo
pie of the South can, and ought TO do this

MAsTICATIoN BY MECHANICAL MEANs.-A
rare instance OF IA perfect recovery from
desperate wound was recently brought under
the notice OF the Paris Academy of medicine
by Mr.. Larrey, who al the same time present
ed tothat body an American Mr. Preterre
to whose Ut chanical skill the attainment
of the full result was due. At the battle
of Magenta, a sergeant OF the S5th of the
line was struck by musket ball, which,
after completely SCATTERING his lower Jaw
came out behird from under the skull, close
to the ccrvical vertebie, which had they been
injured would have rendered the case hope
less. 1t is hardly credible that so extensive
an injury, inflicted in SO important region
of the human frame, could have admitted of
cure; and it reflects high or, dit on the army
surgeons who attended him. To restore ztb,.
power of mastication by mtcbani al means,
Mr.. Preterre was called in, and succeeded in
the accomplishment of his task by an inge-
nious conlrlyance, which has been greatly
admired by the first surgeons of Paris.

From the Chattanooga Gazette.
Douglasin Chattanooga,

Ga Wednesday evening last, John L. Hop
kins. Esq, addressed Douglas meeting in
the Court House 1t was a well digeSted
effort, and was listened TO with much satisfac-
lion by the proseIytes of Douglas in these
parts. He defended pon-intervention as be-
ing identical with the principle for which our
fathers fought the battles of Independence in
the RevOlution-thc right of the people to
govern themselves. He entered into histo-
ry of the Democratic party and proved. from
its platforms and the address and speeches OF
its leaders, that non-intervention was the
true Democratic doctrine He quoted from
letters of VIM. l.. Yancey to show that be
first controlled the Democratic Convention of
Alabama with the avowed obj ct of splitting
up the Charleston COnyention; that he went
to Charleston and made the speech for seces-
>ion; that he was the first 10 withdraw; and
he charged that Yancey-in his celebrated
scarlet letter looked upon this as a pre-
liminary step towards 'precipitating the cot
ton States iuto revolution" He charged
that Oregon and California joined the Scce
ders or disunionists because they desired dss-
oLution, after which they would establish a
Western Confederacy. He quoted from res
olution offered by j. Ii. Howard. of Tenn.
aud adopted by the Charleston Convention;
requiring two-thirds of the Electoral vote of
the whole Union before any individual should
be declared the Democratic nominee. He
then showed that Mr.. Douglas did receive at
Baltimore mOre than toco thirds. He also
showed that Mr.. breckenridge did not r, ceive
two-thirds of the Electoral votes OF the Union
and therefore was not the nominee according
70 Mr.. Howard own resolution. He hoOted
atRthe idea that Bleckinridge's nomination
Was national, and advised his supporters to
tuck their tails when they claimed it as such.
He charged that all of the supporters of
Breckenridge had deserted the Democratic
church. and Were no longer Democrats, but
disuniOnists. not that he believed they were
all disunionists in their own persons. bat they
had placed themselves in the power of men
who had labored for disuniOn for years. He
promised forgiveness 10 all who would repent
and return TO the faith. He was frequently
appiauded during the delivery of his speech,
and made numerous proselytes.
