BEECKIHBIDGE v* DOUGLAS.
Douglas and Breckinridge are a long
way apart upon the Territorial issues We
place in juxtaposition extracts from Doug
1 as’ Freeport speech in December lest.
They need no comment:
EXTRACT FROM DOUGLAS’ FREEPORT
SPEECH.
Lincoln’s Speech.—Can’t the people of the
•United States Territories, in any lawful way,
against the wishes of any citizen of the Uni
ted States, exclude slavery from their limits
prior to the formation of a State Constitu
tion?
Douglas’ Answer. — The next question
propounded to me by Mr. Lincoln is, can the
people of a Territory, in any lawful way,
against the wishes of any citizen of the Uni
ted-States, exclude slavery from their limits
prior to the formation of a State Constitution?
I answer emphatically, as Mr. Lincoln has
heard me answer a hundred times, from every
stump in Illinois, that in my opinion the peo
ple of a Territory can, by lawful means, ex
clude slavery from their limits prior to the
formation of a Siate Constitution. [Enthusi
astic applause.] Mr. Lincoln knew that I
had answered that question over and over
again. He heard me argue the Nebraska bill
on that principle all over the State in 1854, in
1855, and in 1860, and he has no excuse for
pretending to be in doubt as to my position on
that question. It matters not what way the Su
preme Court may hereafter decide as to the
abstract question, whether slavery may or
may not go into a Territory under the Consti
tution ; the people have the lawful means to
introduce it or exclude it as they please, for
the reason that slavery cannot exist a day or
an hour anywhere, unless it is supported by
local police regulations. [Right, right.]—
These police iegulations can only be estab
lished by local legislation, ami if (he people
aie opposed to slavery, they will elect repre
sentatives to that body who will, by unfriend
ly legislation, effectually prevent the intro
ducton of it into their midst. If. on the con
trary, they are for it, their legislation will
favor its extension. Hence, no matter what
the decision of the Supreme Court may be on
that abstract question, still the right of the
people to make a slave Territory or a free
Territory is p*fect and complete under the
Nebraska bill. I hoje Mr. Lincoln deems my
answer satisfactory on that point.
EXTRACTFROM MR. BRECKINRIDGE’S
FRANKFORT SPEECH, LAST DECEM
BER.
Mr Breckinridge has been speaking of
the Dred Scott decision, and continues as
follows:
Well, that being the case, and it having
been authoritatively determined by the very
tribunal to which it was referred, that Con
gress had no power to exclude slave property
from the Territories, and judicially determ
ined that the Tenitorial Legislatures—au
thorities created by Congress—had not the
power to exclude or confiscate slave property,
I confess that I had not anticipated that the
doctrine of friendly legislation would be set
up. Hence, 1 need not say to you that I do
not believe in the doctrine of unfriendly leg
is ation ; that 1 do not believe in the authority
of Territorial Legislatures to do by indirection
what they cannot do directly. I repose upon
the decision of the Supreme Court of the Uni
ted States, as to the point that neither Con
gress nor the Territorial Legislature has the
right to obstruct or confiscate the property of
any citizen, slaves included, pending the Ter
ritorial condition. [Applause.]
I do not see any escape from that decision,
if you admit that the question was a judicial
one, if you admit the decision of the supreme
•Court, and if you stand by the decision of the
highest Court of the country.
The Supreme Court seems to have recogniz
ed it as a duty of the Courts of the Union, in
their proper sphere, to execute this Constitu
tional right, thus adjudicated by the Supreme
Court in the following language. In speak
ing of the acquisition of territory, they pio
nouuceit a political question for Congress to
determine what Territories they may acquire,
and how many. Now mark the words of the
Court.
[Here follows a quotation from the de
cision.]
So that in regard to slave property, as in
regard to any other property recognized and
guaranteed by the Constitution, it is the duty,
according to the Supreme Court, of all the
Courts of the country, to protect and guard it
by their decision whenever the question is
brought before them. To which I only add,
that ctie judicial decisions in our favor must
be maintained—those judicial decisions must
be sustained. [Applause.]
If present remedies are adequate to sustain
these decisions, I would have nothing more
done. I with many other public men in the
country, believe they are adequate. If they
are not—if they cannot be enforced for the
want of proper legislation to enforce them,
sufficient legislation must be passed or our
Government is a failure. [Applause] Gen
tlemen, 1 see no escape from that conclusion.

ladies, who happened to be standiug near
the train, caught on a nut on the side of

As it was, the young lady was pretty

endeavoring to tear hear loose; but the

and not until all the girl’s under clothing
was pulled Irom her body, and her dress
lore 10 threads, did he succeed. All
this transpired while the train was moving
a distance of twenty or thirty feet, when
the conductor saw the danger, and instantly
checked its motion. Indeed, the girl was
not entirely released until the tram had
stopped. After the excitement of the mo
ment had passed, it was discovered tbat
the soles of both the girl’s shoes, by the
resistance she bad offered the train, had
been completely stripped uwuy. leaving
the uppers on her feet. Strange to say
she escaped without any serious injury.
She was immediately encircled by a num

her to the village, where her wants were
properly attended to.

The Election—The Result in
Prairie County.—The official returns,
which we published last week, show that
Rector, for Governor, carried the county
bv 301 majority ; Gantt, for Congress,
484 majority, and Davie for Representa
tive 140 over Quisenberry.
Davie’s majority would have been
much larger, doubtless, had not the John
son men raised the question that Col. Da
vie was on the Johnson platform, as they
termed it, and that he (Col. Davie) must
support Johnson to be consistent. We are
well satisfied that had Col. Davie been
present at the election he would have
voted for Judge Rector. He is not with
the Johnson faction, and is the last man
that would support them at the hallo! box.
The efforts of the Opposition to elect
Mr. Quisenberry were strong and well
arranged in the Northern portion of the
county especially. But they have been
handsomely defeated. Col. Thomason is
an Old-Liue Whig, and deserved better
treatment than he received at the hands of
his pretended political friends.
Col. Davie was compelled to be absent
during the canvass, but must feel highly
gratified that the sterling Democracy of
Prairie have stood by him as the exponent
of their principles.

Greeley’s Sympathy and Admira
t,0n.—The New York Tribune seems to
like Senator Douglas in his “half-way”
position. It says:
“Senator Douglas is fighting a gallant
battle. We admire his courage and en
ergy. So far as his principles and policy
tend in the right direction he has our sym
pathy and respect.”
When such a print begins to talk of
Democrats whose “principles and policy
tend in the right direction,” is it not time
for the honest Democrats to look carefully
«i ilie “lendencv” of these lliimrs ?

Tnr. Argument in Europe.—The
Hon. Win. Beach Lawrence, a New Yor
ker by birth, at one time Secretary of Le
gation to England, and subsequently Gov
ernor of Rhode Island, was in Europe at
the time of the Harper’s Ferry raid. The
Journal ties Debuts, of Paris, made some
comments on that affair, to which Mr.
Lawrence thought it his duty to make re
ply, in defence of his countrymen. The ‘
Debats refused admission to his letter, j
upon which Mr Lawrence had it publish- j
ed in a pamphlet form, under the title : 1
“French Commerce and Manufactures, 1
Negro Slavery in the United States.” We I
have not seen the work, but our curiosity
is increased by the following notice of it c
in the London Morning Chrouicle:
If American slavery be a great fact, so 1
also is American cotton. Within a small 1
fraction, the American slave Stales fur- 1
nish the raw material of the cotton fabrics
of the world. In this country alone nearly ;
five millions of people have immediate re- '
lanons with Americon produce. Cotton
is essentially a monopoly of the slave
States, the produce of negro labor. It is
idle to talk about the cotton pioduce here
after to be obtained from other quarters.
Cotton, indeed, is plentiful enough, but the
sort valuable in manufacture are not plen
tiful, and the very best—the sea island
long cotton—is as restricted in the area of
its production as the wines of Xeres or
Johannisberg.
Slavery or no slavery, it is yet a fact
beyond dispute, that the cotton fields of
i America do not admit of cultivation by
the Anglo-Saxon, or perhaps any variety
of the Caucasian race. That experiment
has been tried very frequently, and with
a very uuiform result. The results have
been universally calamitous. Were this
not so, if white labor had been possible,
then, as Mr. Lawrence aptly observes, it
would be far easier, and far more econom
ical, to obtain white than black labor. To
the negro race, American cotton lands in
1 volve no climatic sufferings. The white
[ man’s Golgotha might, so far as climate
has to do with the result, be the negro’s
Paradise. Economically regarded, then,
ihe question of negroes or no negroes in
I he Southern States is brought withip a
narrow compass. No blacks—no cotton.
Such is the finality. \

Bell and Everett Ceub Meeting
in Des Arc.—We were not present, but
learn from a friend that there was consid
erable enthusiasm at this meeting on Mon
day evening, at the Mayor’s office, such as
is calculated to carry off the youth of the
country, unless there is a similar move
ment ou the part of the Democratic party.
A respectable number of names were en
rolled, and outsiders strongly solicited to
join the Club. The truth is, they made a
splendid beginning, and no mistake. We
must look at things as they are and not as
we would wish to have them. Several
gentlemen were called on to address the
meeting, but declined at first, after which
some one proposed that it was usual for
the Old Soldiers to lead the way in all
emergencies and great battles, hence it
was, the duty of Dr. Sanders to lead off.
That old soldier of the cross come before
his fellow-citizens and was received with
great eclat. The Rev gentleman mani
fested quite a clerical dignity of manner,
he spread his wings heavenward, in order,
it is supposed, to bathe his unfruitful nnnd
in the fountain of immortal eloquence, but
alas for the frailties of human nature, it
was “no go,” he did not succeed as well
as the King of France, who “inarched up
the hill and back again,” for the fact is,
the Rev. gentleman did not 'get ujuatall,”
but pitched into the Democratic party and
belabored h in a way that “gentlemen of
the cloth” are in the habit of fighting tiie
devil. The Rev. gentleman arrived at the
conclusion that Mr. Breckinridge was
the tail end of the Democratic party. He
fretted and foamed over the Democracy,
until he got up such an excitement in his
mind, that he never once took into account
that there was an abolition party in the
country—a singular fact for a Southern
Minister of the Gospel. The Rev. gen
tleman took his seat exhausted, probably,
“To bathe his wearied soul
In seas of heavenly're'st,
Where not a wave of party rolls
Across his peaceful breast ”
After the Rev. gentleman taking bis
seat, Mr. T. J. Jobe was called up. He
noticed all the parties in the field, and
tried to show his friends that Douglas
would be President in spite of the devil,
if not, he hoped that gentleman would so
divide the Democratic party as to elect
Bell &, Everett. Mr. J. did not seem to
suit the Bell crowd, for while he was
speaking his friends looked like Tam 0’
Shanter’s wife:
“They gathered their brows, like gathering
storm,
And nursed their wrath to keep it warm.”
The Company of Douglas.
That arch t ailor, Martin Van Buren,
who in 1848, abandoned his party and
|oined the freesoilers, declares himself in
favor of the election of Douglas. It was
fit that he should do so.
John VV. Forney, who abandoned the
Democracy under the lead of Mr. Douglas
on the Lecomption question, and has since
been faithful to the Black Republicans, re
ceiving the Clerkship of the House as die
reward of his treachery, is laboring for
the election of Douglas.
Cornelius Wendell, who. according to
the testimony of Geo. J. Jones, is the most
unscrupulous liar that fattens upon the
corruptions of Washington, has declared
for Douglas.
The notorious Geo. Sanders, whose ap
pointment as Navy agent at New York,
was the most unworthy act of Mr. Bucha
nan’s Administration, and whose very
countenance will make an honest man in
is laboring zealously for the election of
Douglas.
Without taking time to enumerate, the
same character of men all over the coun
try are interested in the election of Dou
glas. As it is a world-wide maxim that a
nan must be judged by tiie company he
ceeps. let honest men beware of such as
lociations.
The Company of Breckinridge.
Lewis Cass, the candidate of the Dem
icratic party for the Presidency, and Gen.
Vm. O. Butler, the candidate for the Vice
’residency in i848, will give their sup
oil in this election to Breckinridge and
nine, as the rightful nominees of the
)emacratic party; aud as the faithful re
reseutatives of its tune-honored creed.
Ex-President Pierce and every living
leather of his cabinet support the ticket
f Breckinridge and Lane.
James Buchanan, the preseut Democratic
’resident, and every member of his cabi
let support the nomination of Breckinridge
ind Lane.
Every Democratic member of the pre
:ent United States Senate, North and
south, with the exception of Douglas and
Pugh, support the nomination of Brecktn
idge and Lane.
Every Democratic member in the House
sf Representatives from the South, with
die exception of three or four, support the
nomination of Breckinridge and Lane.
Every Democratic Governor of the Uni
ted Stales, with hut two or three excep
tions. support the nomination of Breckin
ridge and Lane.
Nineteen out of every twenty of the
Democratic papers of every Democratic
Slate in the Uuion support Breckiuridge
and Lane.
And yet the public are told by the Dou
glas organs that this is not the Democratic
ticket—that it is not a national ticket—
that it is a disunion ticket. A weak at- j
tempt to gull the credulous.
Leaving Texas.—There is more emigra
tion passing north from Texas than ever be
fore known here. Mo^rs say that in Texas
starvation stared themTi. the face, and they
they are looking for a country where they
can obtain breadstuff.—[Van Boren Press.
Hon Edward Everett
Let it be remembered, that Everett, the
Opposition candidate for Vice President,
subscribed to a testimonial to Charles Sum
ner, the notorious Abolitionist and foul
mouthed calumniator of the South, after
be was justly caned by the lamented
Brooks.
Let it be remembered, that this same
Edward Everett said in his letter written
long afterwards, thnl he agreed with this
slanderous liar, Sumner, “in the main
line of his argument,” which argument
was an attempt to prove that Southern
slaveholders were inhuman, immoral,
barbarous, dishonest and dishonorable.
Let it be remembered, that Edward
Everett voted for a resolution declaring
the right of Cougress to abolish slavery
and the slave trade in the District of
Columbia.
Let it be remembered, that Edward
Everett voted for a resolution declaring
that Congress ought to take measures to
effect the abolition of slavery in the Dis
trict of Columbia.
Let it "be remembered, that Edward
Everett voted for a resolution declaring
that the rights of humanity, the claims of
justice, and the common good alike de
mand the suppression by Congress of the
slave trade carried on in. and through the
District of Columbia.
Let it be remembered, that Edward
Everett vifed for a resolution declaring
that Congress has, by the Constitution,
power to abolish slavery in the Territories
of the United States.
Let it be remembered, that Edward
Everett voted for a resolution declaring
that no new State shall hereafter be ad
mitted into the Union whose Constitution
or form of Government shall permit the
existence of domestic slavery therein
Let it be remembered, that Edward
Everett voted for a resolution declaring
• I— i L O W- Ktr f li f^nrwMfllt'inn
power to abolish the traffic of slaves be
tween the States of the Union, and that
the exercise of this power is demanded
by the principles of humanity and justice.
Let it be remembered, that Edward
Everett has been addressed by citizens of
Alabama, in the hope that he would repu
diate this record, and he has not only fail
ed, but refused to do it .
With all these, facts staring them in the
face, can Southern men vote for Everett ?—

Another Slaver Captured.—The
United States mail steamship Philadel
phia, S. S. Baxter, commanding, from
Havana, 30th alt., and Key West 31st,
with mails and passengers, arrived at an
early hour yesterday morning. The fol
lowing report has been kindly furnished
us by purser J. F. Patterson: The slave
brig J W Kirby, captured by the Crusa
der, was to leave for New York on toe
1st, under command of Lieut Jewett.
The Kirbey, on being searched previous
.taiiex departursL ,for New York, it was.
discovered that three of the Africans were
left on board. Measures were taken to
have them sent back under the care of lire
Colonization Society. The Kirbey suc
ceeded in landing her cargo of six hun
dred and fifty Africans on the south side
of the Island of Cuba, and on being ex
posed for sale at the nearest market town,
realized over $1000 per head. Her meth
od of landing her cargo was a most novel
one, and complelly blinded the steamer,
which was cruising on the south side of
the Island, and on discovering a couple of
suspicious sails at once made after them,
on discovering which, one of the vess Is
(which was a decoy) at once made all
sail and put out to sea, closely followed by
the-learner, which, upotroverhaulmg her,
found all her papers correci and no evi
dence of being engaged in any unlawful
pursuits. The steamer at once re uined to
look after the other vessel, and fouu I to
their great mortification and chagrin, lha
she had run ashore and landed her cargo,
and was at the time deserted by her cap
ain and crew. She was got off, and a
arize crew placed on board and taken to
Key West.

A Political Letter from Ex;Pre
sident Pierce.—Gen. Pierce has written
Better to Mr. B F. Hallett, in which he
pronounces that gentleman s exclusion
from the Baltimore Conventon “ a clear
violation of right,” and says “there has
been, in fact, no nomination made in con
fornny with the established and recognized
usages of the organization, and hence
sound and faithful men find nothing in the
proceedings, so far us nominations are con
cerned, to bind them to party fealty.” He
expresses the wish that there may be a
cordial union in all sections in support of
Breckinridge and Lane, and failing in
that, favors the joint support of a common
electoral ticket in Pennsylvania and other
Slates.
-- »«.
Presidential Election Day.—Con
gress passed an act in 1845, “to establish
a uniform time for holding elections for
electors of President and Vice President
in all the States of the Union.” The act
fixes the flection on the “Tuesday next
alter the first Monday in the month of
November”—which this year is the 6th
day of the month. All the electors must
be chosen or appointed on that day except
in case of the filling of vacancies in the
Electoral College, or where a Stale failed
to effect an election on the day desig
nated.
What Does It Mean? —A “ Congo
Club ” has been formed in Port Gibson,
M iss. The object is to secure State legis
lation for the supply of more African labor.
The Club design to be ‘ somewhat quiet,”
however, until after the coming election.
{Sjg“Geo. W Curtis, the United Slates
Supreme Court Judge who made the Aho
litiou argument in the Dred Scott case,dis
senting with Judge McLean of Ohio,
from the opiuion of the Court, recently
made a speech in Massachusetts advoca

The “ Black Bird Line " !
The New York Tribune gives the fol-;
lowing description of a vessel in the "Black
Bird Line,” now lying in that port:
"Whoever wishes to see a vessel which
has all the points of a first-class s aver
should look at the bark Kate, now lying
in the stream opposite Castle Garden.—
A long, low, black thing, with raking
masts and heavy spars, capable of show
ing an immense spread of canvass, she is
the sort of vessel most sought after by the
piratical tradesmen who make merchan
dies of the bodies of men. Built origin
ally for the South American trade, she
has been in her day a reputable vessel;
but, as too often the case with others of
her sex whose vivacity and good looks are
their best recommendation, she attracted
the attention of men of the baser sort, and
was reduced to the shameless life she now
follows. But she carries in her looks'lhe
evidence ol her shame, for, though as
beautiful as ever, her bearing is insolent,
and. when full dressed, there is an extra
vagance and latitude in her costume that
belonged) not to a modest female.”
The same writer, who seems to be well
posted in the matter, furnishes the follow
ing general information of the “ line :
We gave, not long since, a list of un:
doubted slavers, which cleared from this
port for Africa between the first of Janu
ary and the first of May. To this we add
for May and June eight vessels more, in
cluding the Kate, viz: the brig Storm
King. Lockhart master, May 2; schooner
Josephine* Carter, master, May 17; bark
Cora, Latham master, May 19; bark
Buckeye, Booth master, May 21; brig D
Webster, Buiisson master, May 29; bark
F. Deming. B iglitman master, June 18;
and schooner Maraquita, Burreit master,
jane iy. ui me ^uia. uuocpmuc
and Maraquita have been stopped, and
their cargoes discharged. The evidence
of their intentions was sufficient to require
bonds, though not considered sufficient to
authorize confiscation. They have since
gone to sea. It these bonds are ever paid,
the sum will be a very small per centage
on the profit of a cargo of negroes.
This slave trading is a profitable busi
ness. It is profitable at both ends; for it
pays those well who engage in it, and not
badly those whose business it is to slop it
at the outset. Precisely how much this
latter class make, we have no means of
knowing, but undoubtedly their gains are
considerable. It is idle to suppose that these
vessels get off without official connivance.
AH the methods adopted, we do not know;
but sometimes, it is said, where no evi
dence has appeared against the vessel, a
bag or two of gold lias disappeared from
her cabin; sometimes when, it was thought,
the papers had been seized that would cer
tainly convict her, they were found, when
opened—having, in the meantime, been
in possession o( a sworn officer ol the
law—to be a mass of most innocent and
uninteresting correspondence. Probably,
where both parties understand their busi
ness, all public scandal is avoided, and the
slaver slips out of port quietly and unmo
lested.
Nor are the opportunities of turning a
peony confined to the seizure of vessels
which are known to beslavers. The des
tination and purpose of every one of them
that clears from tins port, bound for Africa
for a "cargo of ebony,” are as positively
known, in certain quarters, as that the
Cunard steamers take mails and passen
gers to Liverpool weekly. The lading,
provisioning and equipment of this "black
bird line” differ from all other ships; they
are always cleared at the Custom House
by the master, or by some firm which at
no other time has either local habitation
or.a name. No excuse ever exists for a
mistake, for the moral, if not the legal,
evidence is always perfect. Yet the guil
ty always escape, whele advantage is
sometimes taken ot the’ law to make the
innocent suffer.

[The deceased was a native of Florida; moved
from thence to Arkansas in 1851, and had re
sided here during the past nine years. He was
a gentleman of rare worth, and was highly
esteemed for ail those ennobling qualities that
constitute the good and exemplary citizen.—
To his brother, sister and immediate associ

long leave a void that cannot be filled. He
left a full and convincing evidence to all, that
he was journeying to a better land, where the
turmoils and troubles of this world will be
felt no more, and that he would enjoy that
full fruition which is prepared for those who
