The IIumbux Of Protection.

The Memphis Bulletin we'll remarks that Of all the
transparent ~humbugs, the demand the Breckenridge
men make that Congress shall legislate for the pro.
parent. 1t is . sham, q cheat, and . farce, all com
b'ned. The Breckenridge platform makes the demand
with the most serious air, and any one q little YER
dant in the history Of American demagogueism would
take them to mean what they say. At the last ses.
sion of Congress they were put to the test ofCongres.
sionai protection, and they backed squarely out Of it.
Senator Brown of Mississippi introduced, as an
amendment to the Davis resolutions, the following:
"Resol.d, That experience having already shown
that the Constitution and the common law, uuailei
by the statutory provision, TO not afford aleq uat tie and
sufficient protection to slave property, some Of the
Territories having failed, others having refused to
pass such eractments. it has become the duty of
Congress to interpose and pass such laws az will afford
to slave property in the Territories that protection
which is given to other kinds of property"
This was meeting the demand at the threshold,
taking the OK by the horns, and bringing the practi-
cal question up so squarely that there was no posi-,
bio way of Sinking it. This amendment is founded
upon the theory of Northern aggression maintained
by Southern protectionists. The clam for protection
to slave property in the Territories must necessarily
efNN sS '~"ts"y abptpteSt'4S tiltf OF
that property. But the protect:onists. when a.kc,to
provide for the eriSting unprotected condition Of sla,c
property in the Territories, refused to do it. Upon
Mr. Browns amendment, the yeas and nays were j..
nnanded, and the vote resulted thus.

"Boot-B Backing Forci.ner,,v

John T. Morgan, Esq, . Breckenridge Elector for
the State at large in Alabama, made a speech the
other day at Centreville, in which he is reported as
not only aenoucing the Irish and Dutch as ininlical to
the South, but as degrading them to 4 competition
with boot-blaching negroes in their mental occupa.
tionsi We quote from the Centreville Enquirer:
'Mr. Morgan, in his speech on last Saturday, was
rather severe on the Irish and Germans. He said
they were all incllnched to be Republicans, and msre
opposed to slavery, on account Of the negroes coming in
opposition to them IN 6taof1ng boots and doing other such
seruaces.'
Now, that is particularly complimentary to the
Irish and Dutch, whom the Breckenridge men here in
Baton Rouge, are trying to wheedle and bamboozle
into the support of their candidate! What say our
Irish and German fellow. citizen of Baton Rouge to
such denunciation on the part Of the Breckinridge
