Is It Consistent?
Here is the declaration of ft .Methodist
Preacher, one who pretends to preach
Christianity, and a follower of the “ meek
and lowly Jesus.” Though bis vindictive,
tyrannical, abusive, and unwarranted
spirit, does not outstrip some of the same
sort nearer home, we seldom see them
having the boldness, or the audacity tc
utter such sentiments in so public a way,
But, he is a preacher, and thut (in his es
timation.) gives him the privilege of de
parting from the precepts and example ol
our Suvior. His teachings were not ol
this kind. The world is often trampled
on and insulted by upstart power holders,
and the very fact of their position deters
men from resisting their usurpation. It
is high time thut Americans, who owe all
to the resistance they made against tyran
ny and oppression, to again resist this
petty outlawing, which might grow to a
formidable influence. The following is
from W. G. Brownlow. who has manv in
the land to ape him but few to equal him.
We only publish it to show the Christian
(?) principle involved. If such men ever
thought they were called to preach the
Gospel, they were mistaken, and will
some day receive their "reckoning: "
“ And while we will not support a Black
Republican, under any conceivable circum
stances, we shall regard his triumph over the
Democratic nominee, as a righteous letribu
tion, ordained by (iod! Nay, we will go
further, and he still more emphatic, that no
one subscribing for our paper, may mistake
our views and position. If we were standing
upon the very brink of eternity, and saw this
whole Democratic party crossing over hem.
on a rotten rail, and had it in our power
to throw over a safe way, we should refuse to
do it, from religious convictions of our obli
gations to the country, ami to principles of
morality and integrity !”
We clip the foregoing from the Cam
den State Rights Engle, and fully endorse
all that is said relative to that class of
men “ who wear the livery of heaven to
do the work of the devil.”
The following from the same W. G.
Brownlow, has appeared in professedly
neutral papers published near by us;
“Parson Brownlow is seeking a restoration
of his health at Virginia Springs. He has
almost entirely lost his voice, but he says he
intends to raise it against Locol'ocoism as long
as he can, and when he can no longer speak,
he intends to make mouths at the rascal
ly CONCERN.” ^
Now these same papers are published
in counties largely democratic, and are
sustained and kept alive by the patronage
of those they abuse anil traduce. We
know of one instance where a sheriff,
who was elected ns a democrat, hns be
stowed all his patronage upon a concern
that is owned aud controlled by an ac
knowledged Know Nothing — one who
run for office under the banner of that
party. He also opposed the election of
the sheriff aforesaid, but has enjoyed all
the profits and benefits the said sheriff
could bestow upon him, since the election.
Let the people beware of these men, they
will prove a thorn in the side of the de
mocracy, now henceforth and forever.—
James K. Polk never made a more
truhthful remark than that “ a sheriff pos
sesses more influence, politically and
otherwise than any other officer in a coun
ty.” Let the democracy beware of these
two-sided friends. They are always
anxious to obtain democratic votes, but
lake good care to bestow their pecuniary
favors on neutral papers—especially those
who have Opposition proclivities. Save
us from such friends.

The Dred Scott Decision Remidia
ted.—Judge Douglas and his supporters
occupy a position in direct and palpable
conflict with the Dred Scott decision. The
two positions are antagonistic—yet the
advocates of Squatter Sovereignty are en
deavoring to reconcile them, and to make
it appear that they are perfectly harmo
nious. Mr. Douglas declares tlmt slavery
cannot exist in the Territories without
friendly legislation. The Supreme Court
lias decided that the taking of Dred Scott
to a Territory, by his owner, did not affect
his title to him. Douglas says a Territo
ry has a complete legislative power over
local and domestic questions as the State
of Pennsylvania has. On the other hand,
Judge Taney says Congress cannot exer
cise any power over slavery in the Terri
tories, except the power to protect it; and
that the Territories being organized under
an act of Congress and the Federal Con
stitution, cannot be vested with any power
which Congress cannot exercise itself.—
The position of Douglas and his friends
insidiously and covertly undermines the
Dred Scott decision. The conflict between
them is by no means obscure—it is ns ap
parent as the noonday• sun.—[Memphis

THIRD AWl tk i:\HIBITIOJI
OF THE
Prairie County Agricultural Society.
TUESDAY—FIRST DAY.
The Third Annual Exhibition of the
Prairie County Agricultural Society open
ed at the Fair Grounds in Dos Arc, yes
terday. On Monday a heavy rain, ac
companied with a storm, gave certain
indications that the crowd would be small
yesterday ; nevertheless a very respectable
number assembled on the Grounds at 1
o'clock, P. M.
After the usunl announcements and
formalities by the officers of the Society,
Col. O. H. Oates was introduced to the
audience by the President, who proceeded
to nddrets them about an hour, in a speech
which was in every point of view credi
table to his head and heart. He demon
strated the great advantages to be realised
from Agricultural and Mechanicnl Asso
ciations, and urged in an eloquent and
forcible manner the necessity of the culti
vation of the mind to enable man prop
erly to cultivate the soil. We hope Col.
Oates will furnish hi^ address for publi
cation. The Exhibition will open again
at 81 o’clock this morning. As we go to
press our streets present a lively appear
ance from the large number added by the
arrivals last evening and this morning.

A ijeautifl Extract.— lhe follow
ing paragraph is from the Wisconsin
Farmer:
To the majority of men we are satisfied
that the soil is nothing but dirt; but to
the chemist who knows its origin, its na
ture and its capabilities, it is a wonderful
mixture of those beautiful elements,
which, in their ever varying forms, be
come the ambient air, the liquid ocean,
the precious opal, the amethyst, and the
still more precious diamond ; or delicate
blue-bell and the violet, the nmarynth, the
lilly and the rosebud ; the spear of the
blue-grass and the cedar of Lebanon; or.
again, the ruby lip, the lovelit eye, noble,
palpitating heart and yet more wonderful
hruin! These are jewels of which the
soil is composed, and out of which the
husbandman so unheedmgly strives to
force the food hunger craves. Henceforth
as he turns the furrow of the field, let the
sleep of his thoughts be broken by the
reflection, this eurth thus stirred up by
my plowshare, is doubtless composed in
part of the ashes of ancestrnl heroes whose
deeds are the history of the past, and
whoso mortal remains are the plastic ma
terial out of which we are building the
bodies of men to-day.
Great Excitement at Brownsville, Texas.
New Orleans, October 10. — Late
advices received from Brownsville, Texas,
state that the place was attacked on the
20th ult., by a party of guerillas, who
killed five of the citizens, broke open the
jail and freed the prisoners. The Mexi
can portion of the residents sent to Mata
morus for aid. The guerillas, hended by
Contenas, the person who shot the sheriff
of Brownsville last July, while attempting
to arrest him, numbering one hundred
men on horseback, rode into the city and
posted their sentinels. Gen Caravage!
and others arrived from Matamoras and
persuaded the outlaws to leave the city.
Fort Brown is garrisoned with Mexican
troops from Matamoras. A patrol was
formed by the citizens after the evacuation.
The outlaws encamped near the city, two
hundred strong, and uen. uaravagel visi
ted them in their camp and obtained a
promise that they would not molest the
citizens of Brownsville any further. The
citizens still expected an attack ns the
outlaws havebousied that there are others
on the list to kill. An express hns been
sent to San Antonio for troops. An ex
tra from the Brownsville Flag office thanks
the military and civil authorities of Mata
moras for their mediation in behalf of the
citizens of Brownsville. The Flag*blames
the Govermeut for leaving them defense
less. The sheriff and posse of citizens
came down from Point Isnbel with the
steamer Arazona's mails without interrup
tion. The cause of the attack is Cortina’s
desire to be revenged for alledged injuries.
The citizens have mostly fled to Mata
moras.

Senator Clay of Alabama, in a
recent speech at Huntsville, closed as fol
lows :
“ I need not tell you that I will not sup
port Mr. Douglas or nny one occupying
iiis platform, although nominated by the
unanimous vote of the Charleston Con
vention of the Democratic party whatever.
I love the Democratic parly for its princi
ples. 1 will not abandon those principles
for policy. I prefer the right, even with
defeat, to the expedient with success.—
I prefer truth to triumph. I love the U
nion of the Constitution—a Union of equal,
independent sovereign States, but I love
my native State, ‘my nursing mother and
my grave’ yet more ; and I should be a
faithless and dishonored guardian of her
rights, did I consent to abdicate the power
and abandon the duty of Congress to pro
tect the property of her citizens, whenev
er or by whomsoever assailed, wherever
the Federal (lag floats. Protection is an
inherent right of citizenship, guarantied
by the Federal Constitution as expounded
by the Federal Supreme Court, and when
you surrender it you will cease to be free
men, aud to deserve the rights, privileges
and immunities of freemen. As your
trustee and servant I will not do so at the
bidding of Squatter Sovereignty, National
Democracy, or State Rights Democracy—
yea. at the bidding of the Legislature or
the people of Alabama. If commanded
to do so I will resign my trust, retire to
the deepest seclusion of privute life, and,
hiding my face in shame and humiliation,
and sealing my lips with silence about
such cheap and worthless things as States
Rights or Freemen's Rights, become a
quiet passenger on the ill-fated bark of
the South as it drifts ingloriously down
the stream of Time into the black and
tideless sea of infamy and oblivion.”
COTTOI.
The high prices of cotton which have
prevailed for some time, have, it seems,
induced a degree of carelessness in pack
ing and putting up the crop on the part of
many planters, which is unwise in the
last degree. Instead of a growing pride
t" send the best qualities of our great sta
ple to the market, trashy, dusty atid ex
ceedingly dirty cotton, in amounts hereto
fore unknown, begin to appear in our
markets. Through life neglect or abso
lute frauds that have been perpetrated in
numerous instances, the factors have met
serious losses; and to provide against
their recurrence an unusual degree of vigor
in sampling will be introduced. It is well
that the planting community should un
derstand this fact. If carelessness or cu
pidity produce on any plantations such re
sults ns have been frequently reported the
past season, the merchants must take
steps to protect their own honor and main
tain the confidence in cotton bearing New
Orleans brands. The planter once placed
under the suspicion of wrong, will soon
find that his crop will not bring a fair
average price in the market. Even ini
tial marks will not save him from expo
sure, under the careful attention that will
be given to the character of the cotton
offered for sale in this city.
We are able, from full and reliable in
formation, to speak in unqualified praise
of,the honor and integrity of the great
body of the planting community. Higher
toned gentlemen in all their transactions
cannot be found in anv country. Their
crops are generally handled with care, or
if inferior cottons are sent to the market,
some distinguishing mark leads the broker
and the factor to a quick apprehension of
the fact without laborious investigation.
ntu as among many omer classes 01 citi
zens, so in their body are a few to be
found who only need to be assured of
safety in such transactions to he induced
to perpetrate the grossest frauds. In
other cases, the neglect to mark the re
fuse of the crop as inferior has led to
some complaint. We would urge the
planting community to make an effort to
rival each other in the quality, rather than
the quantity of their cotton ; to endeavor
to exhibit an nnnual increase in the per
fection with which it is handled, rather
than to be eager to get every refuse bale
of the snowy fabric into the, market.
Some brands of cotton that come to this
market pass all the cotton that bears them.
It should be the aim of every planter to
establish a personal character for produ
cing clean, uniform superior cotton.
If that which is discolored or filled with
sand by rain storms, or that gleaned from
the brown fields, or the tail of the gin,
must be sent forward for sale, it should be
distinctly marked with its specific charac
ter, so as io place all upon their guard
who may happen to handle it, and prevent
it from affecting the balance of the crop.
We presume the planting community
are not aware of the extent of the com
plaints of manufacturers of the loss by
wasieage and the injury to their machine
ry in consequence of the purchase of in
ferior or dirty staple, if a change of
some kind be not made, so as to give
greater confidence in the different cotton
brands, or if more care be not taken in
handling crops^it cannot be doubted that
the value of the coton crop will ultimately
be diminished. Inferior cottons will come
ere long to find no purchasers.—[N. O.

Gov. Seymour at St. Paul.—Hon.
Horatio Seymour, of New York, has
been making a speech at St. Paul, Min
nesota, which has turned all the milk of
the New York Tribune into vinegar.—
No wonder, when he read the following
home thrust in it:
“ How came slavery in these United
States? Who brought the negro from
Africa? The South never had ships.—
The men of New York, where I caine
from tlie men of Massachusetts and the
men of Rhode Island, were those who
stole them from their homes, and brought
them over to the shambles here. [Ap
plause.] They held the views which laid
the foundation of slavery, in the theology
of that time. They sold Quakers into
slavery; they sold the family of King
Philip into slavery. These were the sen
timents that existed in the North in our
early days. When the Constitution of the
United States was formed; when the dele
gates from the different States met in
Convention, the question of slavery was
there, and it was asked, *• When shall
the slave trade he put to an end ?” Geor
gia says now! Virginia now! South
Carolina says not yet! Massachusetts
not yet! and New Hampshire said not
yet, the slave trade is profitable. [Laugh
ter.] The great business of New Eng
land at one tune was the manufacture of
rum—pure rum, and they took it to the
coast of Africa and exchanged it for
slaves. [Laughter.]

Senator Douglas.—We had hoped
to hear no more about the probable nomi
nation of Mr. Douglas for the presidency
by the Democratic party. He may be
nominated, hut it will he chiefly by the
States tha^vvilll not support the election of
him or any other Democrat—nominated
by a powerless minority of the party—by
doubtful Democrats, to say the least—over
the heads of an overwhelming majority of
the most trusted leaders, and of the rank
and file ol the party. This nomination
will be a censure upon the most earnest
efforts of the party and its avowed princi- 1
pies. We are not among those wlie join '
in unmeasured abuse against Douglas, '
but we must say, tiiat he has contributed
for the last three years more than any one |
man to distract and weaken the parly, and
his nomination, under all circumstances, i
will disgrace it.—[Grenada (Miss.) Lo- 1

The Broderick and Terry Duel—Uni-,
ted States Troops Fortifying San Juan.
St. Louis, October 8.—The following
is additional intelligence per the overland
mail of the 15th ult.:
Some of the San Francisco journals are
endeavoring to make it appear that Sena
tor Broderick was the victim of a conspi
racy, but the most prominent assert that
the duel was inducted in strict accord
ance with the (Wle-duello. Senator Bro
derick’s pistol was discharged before it
was raised in a line with his antagonist.
Judge Terry’s shot struck Broderick near
the right nipple, carrying away his breaat
bone. Broderick suffered intense agony
from the time he was shot until his death.
All the flags of the city were placed at
half-mast, and other emblems of mourning
were exhibited.
Judge Terry has been arrested. The
public are much incensed against him.—
Senator Broderick’s funeral was the most
imposing ever witnessed at San Fran
cisco.
An election took place in Nevada Ter
ritory on the 7th ult. The constitution
which wns framed in July was adopted
and a full territorial ticket was elected
headed by Isaac Roup, governor.
Dates of the 11th ult. had been received
from Victoria.
The United States troops on the Island
of San Juan were throwing up fortifica
tions on the summit of a hill below the
Hudson Bay Company’s station.
The Portland, Oregon, papers of the
10th ult. publish the reply of Gen. Har
ney to Gov. Douglas’ letter of August
13th. In this reply he accepts Gov. Doug
las’ explanation as an apology for his
past conduct, blit he evidently reposes no
faith in the governor’s professions, and
declines to withdraw his troops until he
hears from President Buchanan.
