P. Bates on the Slumps-Protection to Slavery in: the Territories-Douglas and Us Souatter Sovereignty. 2 Boyle County, June 1st, 1859. Editors Zouisville Courier It has been my purpose for the last week to write' you a line touching the prospectB of the Democracy in this section of the State, and more especially to notice the fact that our District, the Fourth has been partially visited by our candidate for Superintendent of Public Instruction, Hon. Jas Bates.

The writer had the pleasure of hearintr Mr. B. at Stanford, lost Wednesday, and can assure you our cause is safe in his hands. Mr. 's manner is forcible and attractive, his reasoning free from sophistry, and convincing; his matter well selected.

His position on the power of Congress to protect slavery in Territories of the United States, in case a necessity should arise for its exercise, is orthodox, and is that of Magoffin, and our State ticket. Mr. B. on this subject read and adopted as accordance with and expressive of his own views, that pait of the Dred Scott decision in the words, viz "No word can be found in the Constitution which gives Congress a greater power over slave Territory, or which entitles property of that kind to less protection than property of any other description; the only power conferred is the power coupled with the duty of guarding and protecting the owner in his rights. How any Constitutional Democrat can deny this doctrine, is strange to a plain man like myself.

It is the only ground upon which this Union can stand. Whenever the Democratic party adopt a seeming temporary expediency for correct principle, ana at the sacrifice of such principle, it will Bpeedily die, as it will deserve to do. Better far would it have been, that Douglas should have fallen, when making his Anti-Lecompton canvass in Illinois, than the Democratic party should be forced to engraft upon its creed the miserable demagogue principle of the right of "unfriendly legislation," and that no less silly, and equally strong with Abolition taint, that the power to protect property in slaves carried with it the power to destroy. Sadly pressed, indeed, were the friends of the Douglas heresy, to resort to so silly and absurd an argument. If their doctrines were then indeed, would our Legislature and our Judiciary, yea, and our Executive, have fearful powers of destruction.

Thev ail hare th nnwor The War in Europe-Tha First Battle. Special Dispatch to the Cincinnati Commercial. New York, Jlme 5th. The Herald of this morning, (Sunday,) has the following: The steamship City of Washington, off Cape Race, sent us news of. the first battle between the French and the Austrians in Italy.

It occurred on the 21st ult at Montebello, the scene of one hard fought struggle of the first Napoleon, and where hisfavorite Marshal, Lannes, won his title of Duke of Montebello. The fight puts an end to the lingering hopes entertained by a few persons that the rupture between France and Austria would yet be in some way peacefully arranged. We hear French, Austrian and Sardinian reports, so there can be no doubt of it. The different accounts do not give similar statements as to the number engaged. The Fr ench represent the Austrians 15,000 strong, while their side numbered but six or seven thousand, with a regiment of Sardinian cavalry.

From the Austrian Bide it is merely stated that Gen. Stadion pushed forward a strong force for reconnoisance, and after a hard fight retreated in good order behind the Po. Another affair of smaller moment has taken place on the left of the allied forces, where Gen. Chialdini had forced a gassage of the Sesia; and Garibaldi had entered raveilona with, the of carrying out revolutionary movements in Lombardy. In this first fight we have some guage of the stamina of respective combatants.

On each side they were led by experienced officers of nigh standing. General Stadion is a well known Austrian officer of merit, as is indicated by his having been placed in the command of the advanced guard of the army. Gen. Forry, who commanded the French, obtained a high reputation in the Crimea. There is another incident in reports worthy notice, as indicating the effect of the presence of the Emperor on the French troops.

The number of oincers killed is reported large. Although Louis Napoleon was not on the battle field, he was at Alessandria, in the immediate vicinity, and besides being inspired by feelings of emulation of old Napoleonic glories, each felt that he was fighting under the immediate eye of his Emperor. With them it was glory or the grave. The fountain of all honor was at hand to witness their heroism, or to lave and sooth their wounds. When Francis Joseph reaches his camp, a similar inspiriting effect will, no doubt, be felt in the Austrian army, and Europe will witness one of thejfiercest struggles, over one of the fairest portions of the earth, that history has ever recorded.

The opening conflict was sanguinary, but who can foresee what rivers of blood will yet flow from the fountain now opened at MoDtebello. Special Dispatch to Ihe Cincinnati Commercial. Tragedy in St. Louis, and News from California and Utah. St.

Louis, June 5. THE ST. LOUIS TRAGEDY. Mr. Charless expired Saturday morning at twenty minutes before eight.

The excitement has very materially abated. No attempt to rescue the murderer is now anticipated, and the military are no longer guarding the jail. A numerously signed petition was presented to Judge Clover, asking him to order an immediate session of the Criminal Court, for the trial of Thornton, to which he replied, that he has not tl authority to do so, the next regular term commencing on the fourth of next month. Mr. Charless' funeral takes place to-morrow at ten o'clopk, when business will be generally suspended.

California news. The Overland California Mail reached this city Saturday night It briDgs San Francisco dates to the th of May. News unimportant. Four men had been killed by the Indians, near Klamath Lake. Thirty men had started from Jacksonville to avenge the murder.

The news from the Walker's River mines continues to be very flattering. The house of Col. E. A. Stevenson, situated about three miles from the town of Red Bluff, was burned ou the night of the 11th of May, consuming Mrs.

Stevenson and three children, together with Mrs. Krouk and her two children. Mr. Krouk, overseer for Col. Stevenson, barely escaped with his life.

It was generally supposed to have been the work of Indians, and that they first murdered the women and children. Two arrivals from China brought over seven hundred emigrants to San Francisco. A party of Regulators had diiven the Mexicans from several ranches on the Sonoritia Valley. At one place a fight took place, when three Mexicans and one Indian were killed. Consternation filled the Mexicans, and every farm on the Sonoritia is deserted.

The commander at Fort Buchanan had ordered out troops to disperse assembling rioters. The DouMe-Headed Girl Case. To tU Editors of the TV. Y.

Capt. Simms at Paris. The Frankfort Commonwealth' of yesterday, in its account of the debate at Paris last Thursday, reports Capt.

Simms as having soid, "that if he were sent to Congress, he would vote for a law to hang a negro stealer 8 high as Haman." Let us hear no more, then, gentlemen of the Opposition, about Capt. Simms not being sound on the protection question. This little paragraph in he Commonwealth is proof enough on that point. Capt. Simms is not only stfuhd on the protection question, but he is going to be elected.

He will be in the next Congress certain. The Opposition can't keep him out. --He stands even with Harlan on the protection of slavery in the Territories, and ahead of him on everything else. Hurrah for Capt. Simms We would give him a thousand and one votes if we had them.

The Hon. Linn Boyd. We publish, this morning, a ttrBt-rate article from the Richmond Enquirer on the question of protection to slavery in the Territories. The Enquirer would be just to Mr. Boyd's position on this! question, provided the article from the Lexington Statesman, on which it comments, fairly represented Mr.

Boyd. The truth is, however, Mr. Boyd occupies the position of the Courier on this question, and the Enquirer has no cause of quarrel with us. Thus do we' daily see the evil effects produced abroad by the misrepresentations of our candidates, for the purpose of propping up rotten platforms of our own partizan editors. JgThe Louisville Journal, echoing the idiotic cry of some stupid Democratic time-servers i Kentucky, asserts that the Courier has abandoned its original position on the slavery question.

We care nothing about such nonsense. We are just where we started on this question, and there we intend to remain. We are not to be driven from tbeitrue path by foes, nor seduced from it by friends. We intend, however, very soon to show up the policical hypocrisy, chicanery, and rascality of the Journal dn this question, as well as upon others. The editor of the Journal hates Blavery as he loves gin; and weintedd to show at what he is aiming, by pretending to be such an advocate of the rights of slave-holders in the Territories He is aiming at power to be handed over to the Black Republicans, and his design shall be exposed.

For the Louisville Courier. Hon. J. S. Chrisman's Position upon Congressional Protection to Slavery in the Territories.

Editors Louisville Courier: As the views ofMaj. Chrisman upon the Constitutional power of Congress to protect slavery in the Territories have heen variouBlv stated, and. in some portions of this district, intentionally jniBrepletiented by the uppoBiuuu, it ia uitugetuer proper tuut itiu true position sbould be clearly stated, and misrepresentation silenced. In his debates with his opponent for Congress, Maj. Chrisman states, positively and clearh, that he recognizes the Constitutional power' of the Federal Legislature to protect the slaveowner in ths enjoyment of "his slave property in the Territories of the United States.

At the same time, he thinks it would be impolitic, inexpedient, and dangerous to the peace of the country, for the South to insist upon any such legislation, unless it is demanded by stern and imperious necessity. As.no such emergency has arisen, and does not now exist as no Southern statesman has yet asked or required of Congress the enactment of a penal code for the protection of property in the Territories as the Democratic party, iu the Cincinnati platform, stands pledged against the further agitation of the slavery question in the halls of Congress and as the passage of such a measure through the next House of Representives might be an impossibility, he believes it would be unwise to introduce such a proposition into Congress at this time. But if it Bhall hereafter appear that the existing laws are insufficient to afford that protection which the peculiar character of property in slaves requires, he then st-ands ready to. secure and preserve to the South', by his vote and his influence in Congress, those rights which are guaranteed to her in the Constitution of the United States. This we, of the Fourth District, understand to be the position occupied by all the Democratic candidates in the State, and the position and policy of the Democratic party of Kentucky.

P. A Woman Offers to Trade.Her Daughter for a Some time since, the wife of Mr. Ponlin, a merchant of St. Joseph, ran away with her husband's clerk, taking along a little daughter. The following; letter, written by the woman to her husband, is published in the St.

The girl, Lucy, mentioned in the is a servant belonging to Mr. Poulin, worth about $900, and the child which she proposes to exchange is her own, about four years of age.

Kiss the: children for me. MARY." Fiendish Attempt at Wholesale Murder. Anotherpf those diabolical attempts to gratify a petty revenge, by placing obstructions on a railroad track, occurred on Saturday night, on the Indianapolis and Cincinnati road. As the train on the Lawrenceburg road, due here at 10:80 P. on Saturday night, approached St.

Paul's, between eight and nine o'clock, the locomotive struck some ties and a board fastened down on the rails, and was thrown off with the entire train, making, as we learn, a complete smash up. The accident happened in a deep cut, but fifteen or twenty feet from its mouth, beyond which was a fill of thirty feet. It was fortunate that the train was thrown directly eff while in the cut. The obstructions had been fastened to the track, and it was evidently the expectation of those placing them there tbijt the headway of the cars, after being thrown from the rails, would urge them forward to the embankment, where the locomotive, tender, and the cars, with their human freight, would. be precipitated in a mangled heap to the bottom.

Fortunately no person was seriously hurt. The engineer and foreman 'received some flesh wounds on the face and arms, but nothing Suspicion pointed to a man who lived in the neighborhood, and who, having bad a couple of calves killed, had been heard to make some threats against the road. A party went to his house and asked for. the loan of an axe to cut the engineer and; fireman from under the wreck, pretending that those persons were, buried under the ruins. They found the man armed to the teeth.

He defied having an axe. He was of the name of Ford. They arrested him and a man who was working for him, and brought them to the city, where they are safely lodged in jail. Indianapolis ith. The Great Race at -Gallatin.

Mem-fhis Correspondence of the Louisville Courier. 27ie Discussion at Midway. Midway, June 4, 1859. Editors fouisville Courier The candidates for Congress in this district spoke here yesterday, and as you wouid doubtless like to know relation to them, I will give you an account of the debate.

By arrangement they each spoke one hour and a quarter, and had fifteen minutes each to reply. Capt. Simms, the Democratic candidate, opened the debate. He is an impressive man, and an impressive speaker, tall and dignified; he has a countenance, not only indicating mind, but great moral purity and integrity of character, with an eye that combines mildness, firmness, and courage. He commenced by tracing the Iiistory of ths slavery question, and showed ihat until 1820 there was placed upon the rights of the South, but perfect equality.

By the Missouri compromise, however, a great wrong was perpetrated against us by the exclusion of slavery from nearly the entire territory of the country. He then showed how that, not content with this violation of faith, as soon as we had acquired the vast accession of territory which the Mexican war brought, an attempt was made by the application of the Wilmot Proviso, to exclude slaves from that also, thus; cutting -us off from the entire Territory. He detailed the manner in which that was prevented by the compomise of 1850, when by the declaration of the principle of equal rights in the Territories, began the work of setting right the error of the Missouri Compromise. That work was completed by the Kansas-Nebraska act, and confirmed by the Dred Scott decision, thereby lacing Southerners upon the same footing as brtberners, and restoring the equality whioh existed in the days of Washington and prior to the Missouri Compromise. Mr.

Simms claimed these triumphs as Democratic triumphs, and that they had been effected against the combined efforts of the Abolitionists, and of the very men who are the leaders of the Opposition party in Kentucky. He then defined his position" upon the Territorial slavery question, as based upon the Dred Scott decision, which he stated clearly, and beyond the power ol misrepresentation, to be this: That Congress hai no power over slave property in the Territories, except to guard and prefect it as every other species of property; and that the Territorial Legislatures had no power but that delegated by Congress, and, therefore, could not exceed it; that unfriendly legislation would be unconstitu-: tional, and that it was the duty of the courts to protect owners of slaves as well as other property, that whenever the Territorial Legislature interfered with the rights of slave owners, or the courts proved unable to protect them, then it was the power and duty of Congress to do so. His enunciation of the principle of protection was the strongest and plainest have yet lieard. I have only attempted to give the principal topic of Mr. Simms' speeoh.

He referred in addition to all the points which form the Opposition bill Of indictment. His review of the formation and objects of that party was the most soathing and. withering piece of invective I ever listened to, and, in its delivery, he displayed the eloquence that moves the inmost, soul. His. voice is clear, and his enunciation distinct and accurate.

His choice of words is chaste and scholarly, while there is no hesitating in selecting them to make his periods rhetorical and forcible. This is the great forte in public speaking, and he possesses it in a hagpy degrea. Of the other speakers, it is not my purpose to trouble you with much detail. Mr. Trabue followed Capt.

Simms. His speech consisted mainly of an account of the outrageous manner in which he had been treated by the Know Nothings, and traced the whoje cause of his misfortunes to the Frankfort clique, of which Mr. Harlan's father is the moving spirit. He showed how, that having been the first to raise the standard of American principles in the country when the Know Nothing party arose, it ignored his claims for office, and coquetted with him, denying him pjape when ppwetfuj, and seeking him as a candidate ihen weak. Iis disclosures of the party machinery we're rich, and' there was scarcely any one who will hot regard him as very badly treated.

He defined bis position on other points of national policy, which were protection to slavery, aqd an endorsement of the Lecompton Constitution. Mr. Harlan followed last. His position being one of rejoinder, gave him an advantage which the weakness of his cause well demanded. To have heard him, you would have thought either that he was the representative of a party coextensive with the Union, and unsurpassed for the honesty and soundness of its principles, or that he stood out as simply a party in himself.

He certainly did not attempt to explain away the sins and rottenness of the' present Opposition. Fe left the charges of Capt. Simms unanswered, and, except as an instance of the power of a man to speak an hour and a half in reputed defence of a party without succeeding, bis speech contained no strength. will do' Mr. Harlan the justice to say, that ior so young a man, being only 26 years, the day "before he commenced the canvass, as he informed us, be evinces no mean power as a speaker, and in a better cause wouiu ao wen.

nut ne is unrorninateiy maae Dy bis party to assume this race, when certain de feat awaits him, and I regret that a youth of such promise should be so early nipped in the bud. In person, Mr. Harlan is tall, and is evidently elated by his nomination. He has red hair and a small red side whisker. His face promises to rival his hair, and his nose, rather long, has its end finely colored by the incapacity of his heaver to protect its extremity, lie wears straps to his pants, and a standing collar, a scarf cravat with a handsome breastpin, and a snuff-colored cloth coat with a velvet collar; and his appearance inuicuies tuat aistingue air wuicn Deiongs to toe high bred and aristocratic.

But enough, I have. unconsciously, written you too long a letter, which you will use your judgment in publishing, ijest assured that Simms will unite the Democracy, and that he will carry the district by a triumphant majority. Yours, MIDWAY. Platform of the Louisiana Democracy-The Democratic State convention of Louisiana, which met at Baton Rouge on Wednesday, 25th adopted the following truly Democratic platform: Besohed, That the Democracy of the State of Louisiana, while renewing their adherence to the principles and declarations set forth in the platform adopted by the National Democratic Conven tion at Cincinnati, in the year 1856, repudiate and denounce tne talse ana heretical construction ol those principles by which the rights of the South in the Territories of the Union would be sacrificed to the hostility of a local and Territorial majority; and that, while denying to the Federal Government the power to destroy those rights, for the protection of which Governments are established, and laws shoul be. administered, they more strenuously protest against the usurpation of any such power, either directly or indirectly express prohibition, unfriendly legislation or legislative inaction, by any subordinate agency.

Resolved, That in the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States, in the case of Dred Scott, ve are glad to recognize en emphatic en dorsement by our highest judicial triounal, ot tne correctness of those doctrines for which the Democratic party has always contended, and of the justice of the position occupied by the Southern states during the long course oi sectional controversy. Resolved, That all States and sections of the Union are. entitled equally, within the limits of the; Constitution, to the vigilant solioitude and fostering care of the Federal Government: that. consistently with the requirements of the Consti tution, every part oi tne country should oe leit alike free and unimproved in its commercial and material development, and that Territorial expansion is a legitimate expression of the healthy energies and growing capacities of the people. Resolved, That the acquisition of Cuba by the United States, is a measure demanded by the interests, and essential to the prosperity of botb, countries, and that we consider it the duty of Con gress toienaap.

Louisville Gas Works No. The company claim that it costs them, includ ing interest on the works, $1 38 to make each 1,000 cubic feet of gas. We say, if the city owned toe worxs, me gas couia do lurmsnea consumers at $1 50 nett cash per 1,000 feet, and'the city could save the price now paid for gas con sumed in the street lamps, which will year about 18.000. and still make money. And here is the proof.

1 'rj The entire expenditure of the Company in 1858 was Deduct coke and tar sold, $5,673 08 'ill discount on gas bills, 4,458 30 i correction of gas 273 75 10,405 13' Nett expenditure $38191 25 Sold by metre, 31,717,100 cubic feet at $1 50 nett per 47,574 65 Metre rents 899 75 Nett receipts. 48,474 40, Deduct expenditures 88,191 25 Balance of profit $10,283 15 After paying all expenses, and furnishing gas for the public lamps. If on the manufacture and sale of gas last year a profit of $28,000, including the gas used in the lamps, is shown, that profit would be largely in creased in the course of a few years by the in" creased consumption of gas, which would be caused by low prices. It is useless to disguise the fact, or attempt to conceal it by raising a dust about the cost of making the gas: the business is not only profitable in all its branches, but is becoming more so every day; and the Council, if they perform their duty to the city, will require the company to carry out the purposes of the charter, by dividing out the excessive surplus profits on hand, and seeing that the city gets the benefit of her portion, by having it invested to the best advantage, so that its accumulations will enable the city to own the works in; 1869, without having to create a new debt to pay for them. This can undoubtedly be done if the Council will not flinch from the performance of their duty.

Kinney Juvenile Tkoupe. It should be remembered by all lovers of music, dancing, and fun, that this troupe make their appearance on this evening at Mozart Hall. We take the following from the Memphis Ledger: We have never seen a more select and intelligent auditory in Odd Fellows' Hall, than was present last night, to witness the performance of these wonderful children. They are nightly growing in fa-. vor with the public, and it would appear that one visit to the little rogues creates a desire to see tnem again lor we noticed a numDer or ladies and gentlemen present last night, who attended both their previous entertainments.

It is outrageous, that one of the principal thoroughfares of the city should remain for twenty-four hours in a condition so offensive, not only to residents in the neighborhood, but to all persons who have occasion to pass the street.

Louisville; from having been a market for the.manufac-tures other towns, is now not only supplying the wants of her citizens, but is sending abroad very large quantities of superior and tasteful furniture of her own make; and instead of paying out large sums for articles produced in. other places, she is constantly adding to her means, by supplying Southern and Western markets with a considerable portion of what tbey want in the way of furniture. When the Nashville Bailroad is completed) and furniture can be sent readily, at cheap rates, to Southern Kentucky and Tennessee, we anticipate for our manufacturers, In that particular line, a very large increase in their business, and expect to see. Lou isville made furniture occupy a prominent place in the list of exports from pur market. When within six or seven hours "by rail, of Nashville, our intercourse will be great ly increased, and we have no doubt that our Ten nessee mends will una it to their interest to buy their supplies at this point rather than go further North.

Among a. number of manufacturers who'have contributed to produce such a revolution in the furniture trade of this city, we notice, particularly, Mr. John M. Monahan, Messrs. John M.

Stokes Son, and Mr. John Simm. They have been for many years constantly engaged in the business of manufacturing, and tarn out from their workshops as fine furniture as is made anywhere. Messrs. Monahan, and Stokes Son, have their ware-rooms ou Main street, between Second and Third, and Mr.

Simm is located at the corner of Main and Seventh streets. Their work shops are further back in the city. TheT all employ large numbers of the best workmen, and use the best quality of materials. Their work is sold at fair prices, and the quality guaranteed. It is a real pleasure to walk through their handsome establishments, and see the articles of necessity, elegance, and luxury which they display, and 'which are the productions of the industry and taste of the proprietors and their operatives.

We intend to notice these and other similar establish ments more in detailrat an early day, believing that we can do nothing more beneficial to the general interests of the city than to bring forward prominently, its manufacturing facilities. Fitz James Tries Artesian Water. Fitz James, a correspondent of the ''old Spirit," who; lately sojourned here, in the course of his peregrinations, was Introduced to the "sights," among them, Dupont's Ai tesian Well. He was showed around by a friend, and here is his description: He then tuk me to the Artezine well, an' that are wuz one thing I cudent understan' till I tasted the waters, although Mister Kellogg tried tu 'splain it. The water comin' down in the water works war simple but here the water squirts up more nor forty feet outen the groun', au' you can tell by the taste ov it as how it comes from near the t'other place, an' wat it is as makes it come up in sich a hurry got me at first.

Mr. Kellogg tele me it were bored a hole more than tu thousan leet deep, with a big gimlet con- saru, fur tu let the waters out. This are a foshunabel resort: the ladies an folks wat think tbey is sick, comes here to drink this water to cure 'em. An ole nigger feller wat they calls Capteo Sanders, or Unkle Charley, he botches the water an' hands it to the folks. He gin.

me a glass I put it to my mouth and got a taste, an then I stops, kase, thinks they iq.nlavin' ft trir.k nn mA (Fnv vflr sftfi t.hA Wftt.pr taated like some feller had cleaned an ole durty gun with rain water, an' then; let it start inthe sun! till it got rotten like,) so I' looked sly' like" at' suni ov the ladies as was drinkin' ov it as ef it were gude, an' I seed they were a tryin' tu turn up their noses (all the time they wuz drinkin' and praisin' it) as el they smelt suthin' besides Cologny water wen I sees that I swallers mine down, an' held my teeth tight a minuet to keep it from comin' with a rush out of the hole in my face, like it did out of the deep hole in the ground an' then I thort mebbe that war the reason of it spoutin' out so permiskiiss, fur ef it created such a sensashun an' smell iu the exterior of the arth as it did in my. mouf, an' throat, an' innaids, it war natshural tbat the component parts thereov should try to exkommunicate it as speedily as possible. A great deal of it is sold to other cities, an' they sell it cheap, tu only tu dollars an' a half fur a whole Well, tu glasses uv it will go as fur, an' expurgate as much, as a hul 1 box uv Brandreth's pills, and they is tu shillin a box so you see tne waters is more nor one hundred an sixty times the cheapest. SpfThe 'Opposition" will hold their convention for the nomination of a candidate for Congress in this district, at Lagrange, on Thursday next. An extra train for the accommodation of delegates will leave the depot here at 8:55 o'clock that morning.

There is a pretty sharp scramble for the empty honor of a nomination empty because Col. Holt will whip the nominee, whoever he may be, out of his boots. The contest still seems to lay between Bullock, of Shelby, and Mallory, of Oldham, with the odds rather in favor of the former, as the other aspirants are using against Mr. Mallory, with effect, the fact that he was one of the delegates from Kentucky that slaughtered Clay in the Philadelphia Convention, by voting for, Taylor. Mr.

Blanton Duncan's chances depend much on the result of his pigeon shooting match at Spring Garden to-day. If that "bloody King, beats him again, he is overboard for good. The Debate at Midwat. Our accomplished and reliable correspon dent "Midway," gives a capital account of the debate at Midway yester day. It will be seen from bis letter in another cplumn, that Capt.

coupled with the duty to protect persons and iikpcibj wtuiug uuuci men jui-isuicuou; ana we are to adopt the wisdom of the "Lexington Statesman," and papers of kindred sentiment, they all have the power to destroy, annihilate, and abolish. Miserable justice, unworthy of serious consideration, Bat no such monstrous absurdity will ever find a lodgement in the Democratic policy. They will sever Douglas, and those who hold his views, as they did Mr. Van Buren and Col. Benton, and in this way alone, will the Democratic party continue to be as it ever has been, powerful to defend the rights of the States under the Constitution.

What, I would ask those who urge this Douglas heresy upon the country, would have been the condition of the great National Democracy, if, instead of discarding Van Buren and Renton', they should, for fear of losing their influence, have countenanced their dangerous innovations in political doctrine We would torday have had no na tionality as a party, Let the Democratic party more closely follow the teachings of the Constitution, never giving to the right or the left, and my word for it, and the past history of our party for it, she will continue to triumph, and to save the coantry from every threatened peri. They oau lose a hundred such men as Douglas, intellectually great as he is, and still she will ride the storm in safety and success. The candidates for Congress in this district hare not visited this county as yet. Our friends are sanguine of success by an increased majority. Yours, truly, A DEMOCRAT.

The President in Horth, The President left Washington oc Monday evening, accompanied by the Hon. Jacob Thompson, Secretary of the Interior, on a visit to the University of North Carolina. Upon their arrival at Weldon in that State, on Tuesday, they were formally welcomed by Governor Ellis and Ex-Governor Bragg, who, accompanied by several other distinguished citizens and two volunteer military companies from Raliegh and Wilmington, had proceeded thither to welcome their eminent guests, who were received in the presence of a Targe concourse of spectators. The remarks on the occasion were brief and appropriate, and those of the President vjill attract the more interest from their- announcement of his wish to retire to private life at the close of his present term of office. After Gov.

Ellis' address, Mr. Buch anan said "I reciprocate with all my heart, the cordial welcome I have just received from, the citizens of NjOrth Carolina. I have long contemplated a visit to your and- fruitful State, but have never been able to do so till now. I must have come now or not at all, for: the ago I will have attained when my term shall have ended, and when I shall go into retirement, is that at which matt is warned to remain at rest, and prepare for event whioh must overtake us all. I have always admired this State.

It is truly conservative, and while the fire of liberty burns as brightly in the bosoms of North Carolinians as in the hearts of any of the iuhabitants of this union, tne love ot law ana oraer are equally prevalent. Liberty, as cherished by all parties in North Carolina, becomes a great civil as it is with lawlessness, which would make it a curse. The Governor has spoken of me 03 a supporter of tne tonstiution ana toe union, ana he has spoken trulj. I ever expect to be. As long as this great charter of liberty remains qnimpaired, we shall be the greatest and.

happiest people in the world. But let it be nattered, and we become the scorn of the world and the hope of tyrants. Thank God there is no danger to it from North Oarolina, for while she may nave had her differences in politics. she has never wavered on the great question of tne vonstitution. uod bless tne Old ortn stater At the close of the President's speech ex-Governor Bragg, in a cordial address, welcomed Mr.

Secretary Thompson, a native North Carolinian, whojbriefly and eloquently replied. The ceremonies at Weldon were" then closed, with a national air from the band and after a few minutes rest, the party inoluding the military companies, took a special train of oars for Raleigh, where they safely arrived in the evening. The address of welopme at Raleigh was delivered by the Hon. Daniel M. Barringer, and was replied to both by the President and Mr.

Thompson. ShipWreck on Lake Miohigan Five Lives lost. The schooner Euphemia, Capt. Claussen, was wrecked on Lake Michigan, off Black Lake, during the gale on the 27 th and five out of the six per. sons' on board perished.

She was loaded with lumber, capsized in the gale, lay a few minutes on her beam ends, when her masts broke away and she went over bottom up. When she first capsized the crew clung to the weather side, except the cook and another who were washed off by the sea, caught pieces of lumber and floated off. Two'men got on the keel, but soon caught pieces of lumber and floated away. Capt. Claussen had been injured by the falling of the main noom, was lashed to the wreck by Mr.

Hammitt, and died by his side in about three, hours after receiving his injuries. Mr. H. was rescued after having Deen exposed to the sea and atorm, without food, for about thirty hours. The wreck drifted in near shore, and was visited twice, Mr.

H. says, by plunderers, who cruelly left him to perish. He was at last discovered by the crew of a vessel on the beaoh, and taken off. The men who left the wreck on pieces of lumber have not since been heard of. The crew were shipped at Detroit.

Murder at Logan's Gap. Wa are informed thatva man named Fred. somewhat notoriously known as a rowdy over in Qhio, murdered his wife, on Saturday night la.st, about 9 o'clock at Logan's Jap, four miles belqw this city, in Brown county, Ohio, where he resided. No other person was present when the bloody deedj was committed, and Bartlett himself gave information of it to his neighbors, and told that she had accidentally shot herself. His stories in regard to the matter were so contradictory, that suspicion was immediately fastened on him as the murderer, and on.

no doubt was left on the minds of his neighbors, that he had ahot and killed her, whilst both; were taking their supper. Gr'eat excitement prevailed in the neighborhood in consequence of the murder, and it was thought at one time that a mob would hangr the culprit without the intercession of Judge or jury. The Circuit Court; is in session at Georgetown, and he will therefore be tried immediately. Ifaysvitlt Eagle, May 81. Fire.

A fire occurred in our city last Monday night, which resulted in the complete destruction, of Morgan's residence; business house of Mr. H. J. Hills, (two buildings in one) smd a building occupied by T. I.

The Aogusta (Gil) Dispatch says the town authorities of Newman and the Atlanta and Lagrange Railroad1 Company are at loggerheada about the tax bn the depot and property of the load in the incorporation. The property has been levied on and advertised for sale, but the Superintendent has notified them that if the notice is not withdrawn he shall tnove tht depot a milt from torn. mother was ao strong that the presiding judge directed, it. tp be given up to the mother, whioh was done. The late owner then offered to deposit in court fifty thousand dollars to the credit of the mother, if she would commit the child to him again, and remain with it herself for, by the laws of England, she and her child were free; but the offer was declined.

What should I do with so much money said she I wish to return with my ohild to North Carolina," which Blie did by the way of New York. Her owner then asked the mother in what manner she wished to live, and he would oonform to it. She' asked for a little cottage and a patch of ground where she could raise her own chickens. There says her master, she lives, with her husband, and five other children which he has purchased. Two others were sold while young to a negro trader; and notwithstanding that the master of this valuable family has offered five hundred dollars to know who is the present owner of these two, no trace can be found of their whereabouts.

I never saw a more sprightly child of its age than this wonderful twin child, wbich in fact is two ohildren in everything but the body. A little below the shoulder blade there is but one spinal columu there are two heads and necks, two hearts and sets of lungs, four arms and four legs; in short, the child is as much two as one. The two heads converse with each other, as do the Siamese Twins. They can siDg together or separately, and can talk with different persons at the same time. This double creature can run dance, and appears perfectly happy.

It we3 dressed when I saw it, in white, with a orown on each head, with long, flowing, curling hair. The complexion is a dark copper color, with bright, full eyes, noticing all tbat takes place in their presence. But for fear of emancipation, tbe child would be taken North. Nearly one hundred dollars a day were received while it was in St. Louis.
