DOUGLAS AND WIGFALL-The Washington
correspondent of the Wheeling IVA Intelli-
gencer, gives an amusing account of some
storming between Douglas and the crazy Sen
ator from Texas. He says Wigfall made
bitter attack on Douglas popular sovereignty,
and turning round and facing Douglas, said
/" 1t is not Of personal liberty bills that we COM
plain sir, but it is that the South is not equal
in the territories. That, by your very doctrine,
sir, the scum of the puriieus in London, and the
refuse of the Five Points in New York, can go
into the common territories and vote down the
rights of the South. Would you, sir, now, and
want no dodging, vote to give protection to
the South against the legislation of these in
truders?"
Mr.. Douglas rose and very calmly reminded
Wigfall that he himself had voted down the
amendment of Senator Brown of Mississippi at
the last session, which amendment asserted
that protection was needed in the territories.
Wigfall, in a very excited manner, denied
having thus voted. Douglas at once produced
the record and verified the fact There was
buzz in the galleries, and applause all over the
house.

THE RIGHT KIND OF TALK.-The Red Bluff
Beacon douglas DemocraD expresses itself in
the following manner, in reference to the course
of South Carolina, and the policy of the Presi-
dent:
1t shoull make the heart of every patriot in
the land throb with Indignation to revert to
the position now occupied by South Carolina,
and The weak, timid and humilla,ing course
pursued by the Chief Magistrate during the
present exciting state of affairs. Had Bu-
chanan taken firm and decided stand at the
start, the diSuDion sentiment now so prevalent
in the South would never have found q resting
place in tht, bosom of one thousand men out
side of South Carolina. He should have sent
ten thousand men, if necessGrv, to hold, defend
and strengthen Castle Pinchnnv and Fort
Moutrie If South Carolina haG rroarded
said action as a declaration of war or threat
or anything else, she might have done so, and
helped herself if she did not like it. She should
never have been petted and conciiated par
ticle, and never would have been if we had
President of nerve at the head of the nation.
We have always admired Buchanan until the
present crisis, but we are satisfied now he is
not the man for the emergency, no matter
what his intentions may be. a new admins
tration will soon come into power, and though
we despise from the bottom of our heart the
principles of the incoming President, 1t is to
be hoped he will take a firm stand on the sub
iect of disunion, and use all the constitutional
powers guaranteed to him to restore peace ard
harmony to the country. He can do this first
by urging upon his party in the North the alb
solute necessity of supporting Crittenden's
compromise, and then sending a force to South
Carolina sufficient to awe her into submission.

TEXAS FOR THE UNION The Washington
correspondent of the Philadelphia Press, in a
recent letter, writes thus In Austin, the
State Capital of Texas, the people seem to
have become tired of solitary lone star flag,
and the reign of terror which the Secessionisfs
have sought to inaugurate. Some days ago.
several young men drove through the city with
national flags displayed from their carriages.
This struck the chord in favor of the star span
gled banner, and they were voclerously cheer
ed. The spirit once awakened, received volume,
and on the night of the 18th ultimo, Governor
Houston and F. w. White, Commissioner of
the General Land Office, were serenaded by
procession Of FIVE hundred people. They both
responded in enthusiastic Union speeches. On
the 23d ult. the largest meeting ever held at
the Capitol assembled pole ninety feet high
was raised, from which streamed the stars and
stripes. The masses came up from the hills
and mountains, men, women and children
marched in procession TO the Capitol where
they were eloquently addressed by Judge
Townes and Hancock, and the old heroes Of
San Jacinto. Patriotic resolutions were pass
ed amidst cheers for the Union. Hail Co
lumbia,' the Star Spanged Banner and other
patriotic airs were played by the German band
and sung by the ladies'. The crowd would not
disperse but at night formed torch light
procession, and marched through the principal
streets. Letters received by Texans in this
city, say that the reign of terror is over. and
that the secessionists have thrown aside their
cockades"
