' Singular Circumstance , The following singular and interesting occurrence unrelated by the Memphis En-! qmrer, on the authority of a gentleman whose credibility is vouched for by theEdi- Siuce tlie .eommeticemeut of the term of the Circuit Court for our county, it became necessary for Merri weather, brother of the gentleman, some time since murdered in our county, to attend as prosecutor of Peterson, the perpetrator of the horrible crime. It so happened that he rode the horse that his deceased brother was riding on the lay of his murder by Peterson, lie was in the company of some friends, and travelled the same road. The horse is a very fine spirited bay, gdocile iu temper, and with an intelligent eye; ; t f . , r, . When they approaches near the scene of the murder, the horse Manifested evident signs of alarm and restlessness. Observing the singular conduc of the horse, Merriwea tUer determined to give him the reiu and watch his movements. As be approached nearer the spot of the murder, he elevated his head and tail and appeared to be watchful, and frequently ut tered that snort so peculiar to spirited horse es when apprehensive of danger. The uo- ble animal finally smelt the ground and trail ed the course which the body of hi former master had been conveyed by his murderer.'! ne nuaiiy seacneu uie spot smelt the ground , and pawed aud snorted. He theu took a circle ,in the wood at a moderate trot, . retimed to the place wUre the body was found, aud repeated the same ceremony., ... . . . . , Thi ke did several times m uccesiiou. And when reiued np it was with great di fa culty that he was forced to liave the place. Is this, instinct,' reason, or v hat ' is it ? We have the facts from a source well infor med and entirely reliable. We should like to have fhylosopuical solution of this re markable event. ..Vli tt There are some mortals whose bodie we but iu oruauieutd sepulchre of theic dead hearts' ' - " C'-'vommoa hfuds are hardened by iu- Snuuuae, uutto superior-natoKS Itrisaff occasion for new acts of kindnes. now i ah the eptcmbcr election, in which 'th the Sentcirilier election. esce in ttie late measures of Consrres and regard them as the settled policy o' ' tli county on the question of slavery, all cause ,dr indention among democrats on measures ' proper to be pursued by the State, pasted away. Owing, however, to the fact that j candidates had been, brought forward for va- rons political offices with reference to their ",won tho?e measures, the contest was 8t 11 "P unul ktTl UP Ulltl1 "on 1 ',,,ch took P!ce on tlie 3J 8,,J -th instant. ltlis emotion, in the judgement of all right thinking men, and of every true and pa'ri otic Democrat, removed the last and only cause oi quarrel between brethen of the same political family. The clouds of dis- sention that have cast their baleful shadows over the futureof the democracy, have been dispelled, and there is no cause to prevent the sun of peace and harmony once more shedding its cheerful rays among us. Speak ig as States Rights Democrats, we frankly say that we believe the interests of our own noble state would have been advanced by the adoption of a 'different policy ; but speak it g further, as Democrats of that school we feel bound by every obligation which prin ciples and pledges impose to abide in good faith the action of the majority, and how cheerfully to the sovereign voice of the State. Both divisions of the Democracy agree ing, then, that the questions ol state policy, about whhh the have tpiarreled, are defi nitely settled, the course which enlightened patriotism prescribes, is a cordial and tho rough reunion for the jiurxjse of fighting thegrcal huttletrhich Democrat,; must fight against Federalism, on national issues in 18,32. Every couideintiou of public good indicates this as ilia proper mid only course to be pursued. Personal sdhenics. or per sonal animosities, sink into insignificance when compared to the importance of the reorganization of the Democratic party. It is quite likely that personal dillerences were engendered between tuemibers of the Dem ocratic family during the past canvass. In deed, it would be strange if they were not, so vitally important were the questions at issue, so vehemently were they discussed, and so deep and burning the anxiety felt in the result. Hut these temporary difference should not be permitted to prevail against the dictates of sound patriotism. They are in- significant barriers to a concentration of strength when one faith animates the whole when all a'e guided by eternal principles. The voice of discord should be drowned in the loud shouts that acclaim the success of that political creed on which is staked the sacred principles of constitutional freedon; There was never a time when -stronger reasons addressed themselves to the Dem ocracy to unite upon the old platform on which they have fought and conquered so gloriously in days gone by, than at the pre sent moment. To the Democracy policy, the country owes its prosperity and renown and upon its cardinal measures depend the furihci advancement of free principles and cocstitutioual liberty It is the party of progress, the party of liberal principles. In a word, it is the opposite of federalism, as taught by Hamilton iu the early day of the I Republic, and followed by Clay, Webster, JMllmore and their adherents, at the present period. The democratic system is the best which has yet been conceived for the ad- vancement of the country. Whcrever we look, we behold its fruits. They are seen in the vast acquisitions which have been mede to'ouf national domain." "Our posses sions no longer confined t6 the limits of the original thirteen, extended from the Atlantic to Pacific. " ' The policy of the Democratic party has given peace to the county at home, and com mand respect and due observance--of our rights abroad. Had Whig policy prevailed the wrongs which have been committed against our country would never have been avenged; and at this day, the American came would have been a by-word of scorn and reproach among lite nations ofthe earth, When uudet the auspices of James Madison the war of 1812 was declared against Great Britain, federalism (or whiggery, as it now calls itself,) opened upou hi head the flood gates of the calumny and abuse. When under the auspices of ' the Democratic ad ministration of Mr. Polk, war between the United States' and Mevco was declared to exist by the act of the latter, and prepara tions were made for carrying it on in a man ner bearing a proper relation to our strength whiggery, true to its treasonable impulses, gave the enemv" aid and comfort. Even now, the black-hearted Corwiu, the detest' ed traitor, whoe name is .iuked with uudy iug infamy, and whose bloody invocations against Ins own countrymen, while engaged with the foe, in a foreign laud, are well re membered, occupies a seat iu the cabinet, and is a confidential, adviser of the whig President. ' - It is the policy ot, the Democratic party to, confer Upecial jmvije-ges. upon none, to build up nf ciaf ad the expose of another. Heuee it has ever opposed protection to the manufac'ureing clases at the expense of the agricultural portion of the community. , Jt has opposed the assumption of power on the port of Jhe General Government to trench npontUf prerogntives of the states ; W dig out caualc, to contract road, and to carry out other objects embraced in the system of tuternal pnprovemeut, advocated Dy tne whtgfty.

A cordial union has been established between all divisions spring ingontof the slavery Issues, in every South eru State, Shall tint example be lost upon the Democeney of Mississippi? Are we to permit the corrupt and designing demagoge of the whig party to keep alive a fend, for the existence of which there can be no ne cessity, so that they themselves can rise tri umphant upon the ruins of the Democracy ? Are we to believe their promises, when we can fathom the motives which prompt their machination ? fl These men know that the Democracy, when united, arc all powerful : and as rbe hate Democratic principles, so do they strive to prevent a reunion among the Dumocrnts, which will lend to the triumph of Democratic measures. Union Democrats do not be deceived by those arch hypocrites nnd deceivers If they are cineere in their pledges, lo objure their abominable whig heresies, and to raise their voices against the nominee of the Whig National Conven tion, your reunion with the Democrats who advocated resistance to the Compromise measures can be no obstacle in the woy,of their doing so. The very fact that they de sire you to be separated from the other divi sion of the Democracy, is proof, clear and convicting, that they naw prostrate them selves iu the dust at your feet with sinister motives. They will arise when cccasion of fers, and betray yo.i into the hands of your political enemies. Such is evidently the purpose of tllese flunkey Whig politicians of the loaves and fishes orJer. Bound then, as Southern Rights Demo crat and Union Democrats are, for the same port aboard of the snine old ship Demo cracy which was loosed, half a century ago, from its federal moorings, by Thomas Jetler son determined to advocate the same mea suresdetermined to support the nominees of the Baltimore Convention, and to have a voice, in the selection of those nominees what we ask, is there to keep them from cb operatig with the utmost cordiality ? Let each one then, do his duty manfully. Let all inert together in county conventions aud send delegates, without reference to their views upon settled issues of State policy, to the Eight of January Convkntion, and let that con ventiou select good men aud true to represent the Dkmocracy of Mississippi in ' the iVational Democratic Convention, thus acting not only together in our own State, but acting in united brelheruhood with the great Democratic party of the whole countay. And so sure as the ysar 18.52 rolls around, so sure will the country be blest by the overthrow ot the 1 illmore administration and the election of a Democratic Presi dent. The Minority of (he Commit- lee of Thirteen selected ly t he Convent ion- beg lea ve to Report t ' Tbat, they took their seats in this body, with a sincere wish, that its deliberations might result in harmonious action. They were earnestly (ksirous to forward the ac tion of the majority, so as to secure a con sistent and defensible position for the Slate of Mississippi; coimequenilyv they have sought to throw no obstacles in its course, or attempt to embarrass its movements. Actuated by such a spirit, it is a matter of profound regret I hat ihe tind themselves con strained to differ on many essential points, with those representing the majority. Tliey deem it inexpedient that the State of Mississippi should take any new position on the subject of slaver. They hoid, that the rights and wrongs of the State, have been hilly set forth and expounded iu the October Convention of 1849. . That they are unwilling that any other of distinct Stale shall be permitted to make a possition, oj pledge the action of the sovereignty of the State ol Mississippi , touching the Union or the slavery question ; as she has already de veloped the principles upon which she oon assert the one or vindicate the other. The minority of the Comni'ttee, deems it right, meet and proper', that full weight Wiould be given in the action of the conven tion, to the will of the majority of the peo ple of Mississippi, as expressed iu the elec tion of September last,- in regard . to the slavery qiieutton. Therefore, they state, j that the consider acquiescence in the mea sures of the late Congret called the compro mise, as ihe fixed and settled policy of the State of Miatifeippis indicated by that eiec tion. , ..,sS... ... ,, ,.,j'f.. , i'e'w we.feeibouud to say, that we do not aud cannot regard ihe.electior jn September lat, an expreiou, by the people, in fav or of the justice or wisdom of the whole se ries of those measures, but rather, a a reluc tant, extent to the Uuiou of (he States, or jeopardise the safety of the South.

Mississippi has ne ver questioned ths wisdom of our form of government, and has only arraigned the con duct of thoe who hove shown themselves strangers to the high and holy spirit iu which it was 'ramed, and tmiturs to the honor and good faith iu which it should becaried out We cannot further perceive the necessity which has led to the solum denial of a right to do that which no on is now proposing. We ore yet to Iip informed, what body of men amoimst u proposes to secede from the Union. W'c come to this convention as re presenting the soverein'y of the State, not as a pohticnr body to nerr unmeaning ab stractions, merely to color the present Hour. but, iiiasmueii as the majority has seenpio per to express their views vpon the right of secession, wo feel iustifyed,in asserting a priiciple, announced in the earliest history of the government, aud consecrated by the highest names of the Republic Hre there fore, assert "that the several States, Coin posisg ihe United States of America, are not united on the principle of unlimited submis. sion to the General Government, but by compact, under style and title of a Constitu tion of ihe United Slates, and of amend ments thereto, they constituted a General Government for special purposes, delegated to that government certain definitive powers reserving each slate for itssclf the residuary mass of Iright to to ihcir own self govern ment, ad that whenever the General Gov eminent assumes undeltigaied powers, its acts are unauthorised, void, aud of iioellect that to this compact each stuto acceded, as a state, as an integral party, that this gov. eminent crentcd by this compact, was not made the exclusive or final judge of its pow er delegated to ifsolf, since that would have made its discretion, and not the constitution the measures of its powers. But. as in all other cases of compact among parties, hav ing no common judge, each pnfty has an equal right lo judge for itself, as well of in fractions, ns of iho mode and measures of re dress." We do further explicitly and per emptorily declare, that view the powers of the Federal Government, as resulting from the compact to which tho states are parties, as limited by the plain sense and intention of the ilistruiiK lit constituting the compact as no farther valid limn authorized by the grants enumerated iu that compact, aud that in case of a delicerate. palpable and dangerous exercise of other power not gran ted by said compact (or the gross and ling rant abuse of . those granted,) llio states who are parties thereto, have the right, and are in duty bound to interpose : for the purpose of arresting the progret.s of the evi.', and for maintaining within there respective limits, the authorities, rights and liberties apper. Willing to them, We cannot, out of sel-rcspect, aud injus tice to ourselves, conceive with the majority that the Convention, of which we ore a part is an illegal or unconstitutional body. If this were true, we should be bound by our oaths to adjourn. Our continued sessions would be a palpable fraud upon the rights of our constituents l he date of our organi zation should have been the date of dissolu tion. e are unwilling thus to stultify our selves or stigmatize these who refused ujpro position lo adjourn on our first meeting. We regard the Convention as legally and constitutionally assembled, and whether its deliberations should meet our wishes or otherwise we cannot hold their result as wanting in binding force from any delect in our organization. In conclusion, we arc forced to disagree with the seventh resolution of the Commit tee, We hold it to be our duty to submit our actions to the people of the stale of the state An ordinary degree ol respect lor the people would seem to us lo call tor such a course. Justice and fair dealing towards our constituent demand it. The nature of our organization requires it. We are hold ing and excrciscing the sovereignty of the Slate. Our opinions, our acts become the solemn will of the people. Il is au. univer sal rule, one never hitherto violated in the practice of any statcsu the Union, that such should be submitted to the feople for their judgement. In ordinary Legislative action uo such necessity exists, as the same power which makes, can repeal laws. But when the sovereignly of the stale has acted, it can never be changed without calling into ac tion again the powers of the people through n organized form. Hence ihe palpable ne cessity that their opinion should be had be fore any t upreme rule of action, any law, any great principle, should be imposed upon them. Distrust of the popular will doe not become popular repjesentative, and we have ever held that system .of government the wisest, which moti frequently seeks so expression of the popular will. ' And in pursuance of the foregoing Report we submit for Ihe action of the convention the following resolutions; ' Resolved, let.'

(Applause.) Let old isxuet go hy t (hey are in fact obsolete," The uhove extract is from a speech of V. W. Soulliall Esq., tleliverctl in l he Federal whijr. Convention, which hut recently met in Chfirlolteville. Now, what rue we to believe, when distinguished men of the Federal whig party thus speak? h it true? Are these Usurs " in fact obsolute ?" If go, why is it that the Federal party are using such Hi renuou exertions to or Kfinue ii nd to elect Iho chosen chain pions of Ihcir lailb! Surely if the whig principles are "obsolete" these exertions are unnecessary. But wc must call anotlier witness to the stand. Our neighbors of the Spectator, who are as good Federal whigs, as the mosl ardent could desire flius discoure in reference to these "obsolete" measures. Dear what they say : "If Ihe whig party should even (ev ei) get the entire administration of (he government into their hands it will be found to I.ocofoco satisfaction that none of its principles are obsolete. At present they find themselves burdened with the responsibilities of office with out the power to carry their principles into practidal operation, a position which, in the language of another, "cannot result In anv thine but noliti eal ruin to the holders, unless their acts be dictated by the maturcst wis dom and boldest ptatesmatisliip. U would seem from this authority, the Federalists are only waiting to get the "entire" administration of the govs ernment into their own hands, and then they will show their principles are not "obsolete i" and such is the opinion of the Democracy -they recollect the history of the Harrison "dministration which (as the printed address of the whig State Cenlral Committee said) wauld be opposed to-a Hank or the Hank,' and yet the good old man (Har rison) line hardly been removed from earth, before John J yler reoed a bill for a Dank charter Here was whig bonesty.

Are thev not raising the humbug cry ol the " Union" for the purpose of ilereidrtg (he1 unsuspecting into the support ol measures, which, for the present, are to be regarded as " obsolete.'- But we leave Mr. Southall and the Spectator to settle their own contradictory state nients. . , , With regard to the ancient whig party which is abont throwing another somerset, we refer the . reader; to the following short coloquV between' Judge!
