Thomas C. Peek, Editor—Jas. D. But

mechanical execution of the paper is un
exceptionable, as nlso the introductory of its
editor. Upon the various subjects agita
ting the public mind we find a clear and
explicit expression. The" Cardinal Doc.
trines on the Subject of Slavery," •• Juris
diction over the Territories,"" Non-Inter

sion,” 8ic., are all able and well-timed
articles, and will meet with the hearty
amen of every man who is true to demo
cratic principles and the institutions of the
South.
Arkansas Swamp J-,ands.—We find
the following paragraphs in the Washing
ton State of the 10th inst:
The acting Commissioner of the Gene
ral LandjOffice has transmuted to the Gov
ernor of the State of Arkansas a patent
(No. 7) in the Batesville district,contain
ing 170,937,92 acres, enuring to that
State under the act of September 28,1S50
A patent(No, 8) for swamp aad over
flowed lands in the Batesville district to the
amount of 28.579.53 acres, enuring to the
State of Arkansas under the act of Sep
tember 28, 1850, has been transmitted
to the President by the Commissioner of
the General Land Office.
Questions for Mr. Douglas.—The
Washington Constitution demands of Mr.
Douglas, distinct categorical answers to
the following questions:
Do you intend to oppose the decisions j
of the Supreme Court—on the point that
territorial governments have not the au
thority to confiscate private property? —
Will you insist that the first settlers are
vested with an omnipotent power which
has never vet been given to the govern
mcnt of any free people ?
4<The Des Arc Citizen contains a puff of the
spread eagle order, of the champion of the
disorganizers, ami after giving the heads of
the speech, which appear to be selected from
the liazelte, arranged in something like or
der, the man of the Citizen spasmodically
gasps out‘‘success to Hindman say we.” “If
that be treason make the most of it.” Of
course the Citizen would say so ami if it dared
would say success to a great many other things.
As to the treason, let tlje editor of the Citi
zen console himself with the reflection that
he cannot commit treason.”
We find the above in the Little Rock
True Democrat of the 14th inst. It has
reference to an article of ours headed
‘‘Col. T. 0. Hindman and his canvass,”
which appeared in the Citizen of the Hist
uit. The attempt of Dick Johnson, his
aiders and abettors, and his whole tribe ol
hangers-on, to create the impression that
we have in any manner or form shaped
our course, politically, after the Little
Itock Gazette, is so manifestly fuise, as to
scarce create the necessity for contradic
tion. As usual, the True Democrat in
sinuates that we would “say success to a
great many other tilings,” but does not
mention what those “other things” are.
Its satelites, in Prairie county, who have i
from the lime ive commenced publishing
a paper here, assailed us with slander '
and vituperatiou, are still at work. e
never wore the “Johnson collar,” and this ,
array, mixed with a class who ‘are all
things loall men,’ politically, have stultified !
every principle of fair-dealing in their
course towards us, and thus have aided
materially in injuring us pecuniarily. We (
defy them as to our course politically or '
personally. There are plenty of men in
Prairie and adjoining counties who have .
known us near twenty yeats, and to them |
we appeal as to our character ^tnd-«ourse
through life. 1
Aieasurmg us by his own standard, j
Dick Johnson exclaims: “Let the editor
of the Citizen console himself with the re
flection that he cannot, commit treason.
Thus it ever has been, and ever will be j
with such men as Dick Johnson. They <
can always be found usiug certain kinds c
of appliances to drag others to their own '
buse level. Altuougii a sore upon the I
body politic, Dick Johnson has beeu per- e
milled, through circumstances, to remain *
in lie posh ion ho now occupies in Ar
kansas. I litre never was uny iutrinvc c
political worth in his carcass. On the c ultra- c
i
ry lie has been found cbeek-by»jo«rl witli
those who abused him nod Ins family in
by-gone years. Again. Dick, "if Uiat be
treason make the most of it.”
We have always adhered to democrat
ic principles and voted the democratic
ticket. Is that treason? We have ever,
through our columns, stood by the agri
cultural class of the State, and favored thi
furtherance of their interests. Hns Dick
Johnson, through the True Democrat done
so? We have never sacrificed oor politi
cal principles, to put men in office—not
even to spcure the election of a United
States Senator. Has not Dick Johnson
done so? Finally, for the present, let ii
be distinctly understood, that we follow no
man or set of men, politically, except they
abide by and conform to the established
usages of the democratic party. There
fore, we conclude that Dick Ju/inson has
committed treason towards the democracy,
and doubtless, the first opportunity will do
so ngain, when “time, place and oppor
tunity present themselves.”
Judge Black’s Reply to Judge Doug
las’ Popular-Sovereignty Maniee.sto.—
Judge Black, the present Attorney General of
the United States, has written a searching and
conclusive reply to Mr. Douglas’ popular
sovereignty manifesto. We learn from the
New York Hera! I that "the work undertaken
in this connection by Judge Black is to show:
first, that Mr. Douglas "has not correctly
stated the doctrines” held by his democratic
dim scLumiijs uini uis uwii ujmii*
ions, as given by himself, are altogether un
sound.” Upon the first point, in reply to the
assertion of Mr. Douglas, that “a portion of
the Democratic party believe, or profess to be
lieve, that the Constitution establishes slave
ry in the Territories,” Judge Black says that
the Constitution does no such thing—that
“no body in the country ever thomrht or said
so;” but he pleads that the Constitution does
establish the right on the part “of the legal
owner of a slave or other property to go wi'h
it into a Federal Teiritory without forfeit
ing his title.” Upon this proposition the
whole question hinges, and the clear, constant
and common sense argument of Mr. Black in
support of this right of property, will some
what impress the reader with the slippery na
ture of the ground occupied by the Illinois
Senator. The exact point of difference be
tween the two learned judges in the premises
are: Judge Douglas holds that a Territorial
Legislature, by “friendly or unfriendly legis
lation,” may admit slavery into the Territory
or exclude it therefrom. Judge Black con
tends that no such power is invested in a Ter
ritorial Lagiei»“'r» snd that, those who desire
to confiscate private property of any
kind must wait until they get a Constitution
al Convention or the machinery of a State
government into their hands. In support of
this proposition the simple fact that a Tei
ritorial government is merely provisional and
temporary, that it is the creature of Con
gress and may be changed, suspended or re
pealed at the pleasure of Congress, are conclu
sive; and no lengthened argument is needed to
show the fallacy of the doctrine of Mr. Doug
las, that substantially a Territorial govern
ment holds the same local sovereignty a9that
of a State. The quotations from the speeches
and reports of Mr. Douglas given in this ar
gument against him show that it is only since
the adjournment of the last Congress that he
has given this finishing to the dogma of Ter
ritorial sovereignty, and that at present his
position is a step or two ill advance of that
which he occupied against the Topeka and
Lecompton Constitutions. In fact, we can
only account for his present position upon the
assumption that he has taken it deliberately
for the purpose of making an issue with the
Charleston convention, which will give him
some color of justification in running as a
Northern Democratic stump candidate for the
Presidency. In no other way can we account
for these late instructions of Mr. Douglas,
which win icifim c me jmuuMoi i/cmuuavj av
Charleston to recognize the general sovereign
ty of a State. The views of Judge Black re
flect the views and policy of Mr. Buchanan.
If they govern the Charleston Convention in
the matter of the party platform, it may not,
after all, be a very difficult task to find a prop
?r candidate, dispensing with Douglas, Wise
md all other sectional ultras. The result
may be a movement on the part of Doug
las and his adherents which, in- conjunction
ivith the Southern Opposition, as another in
lependent party, may throw the election into
Congress; but even there, should Mr. Douglas
je one of the three highest candidates, we
cannot comprehend the contingency of his
flection. But can it be that Mr. Douglas is
content with (he role of Martin Van BureuV
Let the future determine.”

It seems to be generally doubl
'd, as to whether the democracy will have
he strength to elect their Speaker, in the
Sfext House of Representatives. The 1
Washington Stales gives the following i
easons why Emerson Etheridge of |
I'ennessee, will, in all probability be elect- i
•d to that position:
1. We witnessed the course of Mr. (
Ktld'ridge during the 33d and 34th Con- i
jresses. His votes and his associations 1
vere any thing but Southern. A stran- (
rer would have supposed that he hailed ]
rom some district way up in Massachu- I
etts.
2. Horace Greeley has frequently said t
hat he is willing to work in the traces ■
vith Emerson Etheridge. c
3. The Southern Opposition members '
vill think that they can vote for Ether- {
dsre with safety to themselves at home, ,
lecause of his location.
4. The Black Republicans—seeing that ‘
hey cannot elect one oi their own avowed (
fiends—will be very willing to support i
Etheridge because of Ins well known <
ytnpathies. 1

Daniel S, Dickinson, or New York. c
k New York corresponpend of the New c
)rieans Delta writes that the New York j
eiegation in the Charleston Convention, I
rill give a united support to Daniel S. j.
)ickinson for the Presidency. In that f
vent he will be a formidable aspirant. c
io Northern man will be more accepts, t
le to the South, than the patriot who de- t
fared in the United Senate that he would 1
raw his sword, aud shed his blood if at'- (]
essary, in defence of her rights.
The African Slave Trade.
llow a Cargo of Africans was landed in
the United States— Copy of an agree
ment with a Rhode Island Captain.
The St. Augustine (Fla ) Examiner,'
Aug. 20, is extremely jubilant over the |
fact that cargoes of Africans are constant- j
ly landed in the United Slates, in spite of
the hue and cry at the Norih, and is es
pecially pleased at being able to produce i
the following “agreement.” entered intOj
between a Rhode Island Captain, one
Miller F. Wickham, (commanding brig
Favorite.) and a firm doing business on
the African coast, under the name of
Lewis & Hoyd This Rhode Island
Captain engaged to deliver a certain car
go of rum, tohacco, cordage, etc., to Lewis
St Boyd; in exchange for which they prom
ised to furnish him with “eighty fair and
merchantable negroes.” Tne Examiner
asserts in a tone of triumph, that "these
slaves were landed, and no mistake"—
italicising the latter clause of the sentence.
The following is a cojry of the "agree
ment:"
“This agreement, entered into with Captain
Wickham, of the brig Favorite, from Rhode
Island, of the o»e part, and Messrs. Lewis
A Boyd, Cape Coast Castle, on the other part,
witnesseth, that the said Wickbain hath bar
tered and agreed to and with the said Lewis
and Boyd for the whole of the cargo of the
brig Favorite? consisting of rum, tobacco,
cordage, provisions, etc., as per invoice an
nexed, and amounting 7 135 dollars and fiftv
ight cents, for which cargo and amount said
Lewis & Boyd bargain and agree to pay said
Wickham eighty fair and merchantable ne
groes. on or before the expiration of seven
weeks from the above date. The height of
each negro to he four feet and four inches, or
upwards, ami the customary proportion being
observed, viz; two thirds males, one-thiidfe
males.
It is further agreed between the parties that
per cent, shall be made on each article or ar
ticles that may so appear; and should, on the
other hand, any article or articles be deliver
ed to Messrs, Lewis & Bovd over and above
what is represented and specified in the an
nexed invoice, we agree to pay the said Wick
ham 50 per cent, on the same that may be so
delivered.
(Signed) Miller F. Wickham,
Phillis Lewis,
John Bovd.
“The large planters made no objection
to the landing of the negroes,” and “that,
as a general thing, they were purchasers.”
The cargo taken out by tbe Favorite
consisted of the following articles:
Sixty hogsheads of New England rum,
two hogsheads of tobacco, seven barrels of
gin. twenty barrels of flour, fifteen coils
of rope, etc., etc., tbe invoice taking up
nearly two pages o( foolscap.

8S3?*The Richmond Enquirer says that
Mr. Douglas’ doctrine of the right of a
Territorial Legislature lo exclude slaves
“is even more practically and effectively
subversive of the constitutional rights of
slaveholders, than is the doctrine maintain
ed by Mr. Seward and his adherents of
the Black Republican party. Mr. Seward
holds that Congress may rightfully exclude
slave property from the Territories Mr.
Douglas contends that this power resides
in the local authorities of each Territory.
So far, then, as the greatquestion of prin
ciple involved is concerned, there is no ma
leiial difference between Mr. Douglas
and Mr. Seward. Both deny the ina
lienable right of the Citizens of each Siaie
to enjoy, on territory common to all the
States, every species of property which
any citizen may lawfully hold within the
limits of any one of the Slates.”
