We cordially congratulate our confrere on
its eviden:e of prosperity.
If Major Donelson is an unimportant, says
the Louisville Journal, a personage as the
Sig-Nicht organs represent him, why were
the Democratic leaders, a few years ago, so
anxious to get him to act as editor of a cen
tral organ at Washington that they actually
seized, grabbed, stole fifty thousand dollars of
the public mopey to give him to take charge
of such an organ ! And, if he is the unprin
ciple and corrupt man that they now sepre
sent him, why did he scorn to touch the
stolen funds or defile his hands with the vile
and dirty crew !
If any one wishes to know all the facts of
the case, he will find an authentic statement
of them in Benton's 'hirty years iu the U. S.
Senate. Benton is a Buchanan man.
A., ARREST- Discovery of Stoles Property
-An old man residing on this side of the
river, named LEcoMBE,was arrested yesterday
morning in Bato i Rouge, by Mr. HILL, of
the Baton Rouge F6undry, on the charge of
having in his possession a lot of castings,
metal, &c., which had been stolen at diffel
cut times from the Foundry. Mr. HILL.
chanced to be on board the Ferryboat on that
evening, when a box and several barrelswere
sent to the boat for transportation across,
when the box by its weight broke open in
the handling, and Mr. H. recognized a num.
ber of articles which he at once identified
as having been stolen from him at different
times during the last year. One of the bar
rels contained a large lot of copper pipe, ap
parently in good order, but had been cut up
in pieces to At the size of the barrel.
He at once procured a warrant and had
Lscosrs locked up. This old man has long
been a nuisance to our neighborhood, and
from his having no visible means, .of gaining
,atliving, has been generally suspected of
trafficking illegally with negroes.
LEcoxaa had the day previously, sold his
house, and was about toleave with his plun
der, for New Oileans, and from there to go to
France. We are slightly of the opinion that
his voyage will be delayed for a short time.
) tI his been repeatedly asserted by Demo
b cmtic papers and orators in the South, that
in the event of Mr. Fillmore's election, he
would favor a restoration of the Missouri
Compromise. We have repeatedly pronoun
ced .te assertion false, and we now have evi
dene of its libelous character, which cannot
-" be questiones. The Butflo .Conmaralsi.d
: rcrticr, is Ai. Fillmore's home d.rgan-it
I speaks his sentiments; and it speaks as fol
lows :
SWe may consider it demonstrated, there
fore. that an act for restorrg the Missouri
Compromise will never come belfre the Pres
ident fir his consideration. As connected
with the Presidential election, the question
is perfectly idle-a mere abstraction. ur.wor
Sthy the consideration of a practical statesman.
It is unwise to discuss it as an element of the
Presidential canvass; it would be equally
unwise ever to agitate itagaia in Congress.
The Missouri Compromise is like water
spilled upon the sand; it can never be gath
ered up. Its iepeal was a great blunder.
but it is now too late to correct it. The
Compromise is dead. and it would be as ration
al to expect the reanimation of any other
corpse as this. Nothing remains but to pro
nounce its eulogy and bury it out of sight.
For more than thirty years the whole
i country acquiesced in it, and it had acquired
a sacredness in public estimation which it
was unwise to disturb. It had settled a dan
gerous controversy, which it was folly, nay,
it was madness to re-open. Its repeal, as
Mr. Fillmore justly remarked in one of his
speeches, was the Pandora's box, from which
has issued all our present evils. As Mr.
Fillmore was opposed. at the time, to its dis
turbance, he has not changed his opinion that
its repeal was an act of folly. BUT WE
ARE QUITE SURF. WE DO NOT MIS
RFPRESENT HIS SENTIMENTS WHEN
WE SAY THAT IHE DOES NOT THINK
IT WOULD 'E WISE TO ATTEMPT ITS
RESTORATION. AND THAT HE DE
SIRES NO AGITATION HAVING THIS
OBJECT, EITHER IN CONGRESS OR
OUT OF IT. He is too sagacious not to
perceive that the question has become obso
lete, and too wise to pour water around the
roots of a tree which was girdled two years
ago, in the hope of seeing it again covered
with foliage.
Nothing now remains for the territories
but to see that by wise legislation, properly
enforced, THE PEOPLE ARE PROTEC
TEl) IN THE ENJOYMENT OF PEACE.
ULTIMATELY IN THE RIGHT OF DE
TERMININC THE CHARACTER OF
THEIR OWN INSTITULTIONS. WITH
OUT INTIMIDATION BY MOBS AND
WITHOUT INTERFERENCE FROM
THE STATES. The sooner this doctrine
is acquiesced in, the sooner will that quiet
be restored to the country, of which it is so
greatly in need.

referring to Wm. H. Graham's magnificent E
speech in the Whig national Cunvention, says
thatduring the sentence in which Mr. Gra

up to the highest pitch. and as the (name of
Millard Fillmore tell upon their ears, their

wave their handkerchisfs in token of appro

scribable sublimity, which those who had

is enshrined in the hearts of h's countrymen, c
and affording r n unmistakable presage of the t

o THE MASSES CMING.--Odo Feliows' Hall, f
1- says the N. O. BaUletia, on Saturday evening,
Y gove evidence that the masses are moving in t
'f good truth for Fillmore and the Union. The I
.e meetings which have already been held there I
r- have been of the most enthusiastic deserip- .
- tion,but the last one was a little aheal of l
te of any of them, both in point of numbers and t
le interest. About two thousand were packed .
inside the Hall, and about as many more, we
of suppose, went away for the wa'it of accom
it modations. The ladies were there in all t
S. their beauty, and were evidently greatly in
terested. A -magnificent, new silk banner *J
was presented to the Fillmore Rangers by a
ty our friend R. W. Rayne, Fsq., who stated it r
se was the gift efa lady of this city, who did
.y not wish her name to appear in public. It
of was of course received with the utmost en
of thusiasm. Mr. Rayne presented it in some
g, gallant and appropriate remarks worthy of a I
H- Highlander, whose motto is wlli me tangere
,;. The banner bore the inscription, "Fillmore
at and the Union." The Secretary of the Ran
re gers, R. K. Howell, Esq., appropriately "took
as, that banner" in their behalf: Nor was this
in the only flag presented. Col. McAlpin pre
n. sented to the new Rangers the banner of the
ed old'Fillmore Rangers of 18-18,and which was
nt presented to the latter by the ladies of the
ir- then First Municipality. It was received by
p. Col. Bermudez, one of our talented Creoles,
up with great applause.
C. DJ) Dreux, Esq., one ot our popular
ad Creole orators, made an eloquent and effec
ng tive address, in.which Mr. Benjamin's fared
ad but poorly. Indeed, the whole meeting was
ug one of the decided proofs that the Fallmore
of and the Union fires a.e glowing with intense
and ancreisiug heat. A little mtore fuel, gen
his tleen, so that the blaze may meet that from
mn- the country and cover the whole State.
to The issue demands it. There never was one
hat more impartant since Washington took his
seat in the Presidential chair.
Givxs our NEW YoRK Ar LASr.-'lThe Ut
't ter folly of pretegding that Mr. Buchanan a
e has the "ghost of a chance" in New York, an
ri says the N. O. Bulletin, ha. beenl so manifest fo
fora long time that no sensible man could for iin
a moment suppose that his friends were keep- tO
lt ing the pretensions from any considerations ag
I- except mere appearances. We are not, there
it fore, surprised at the following dispatch to a[
the Chrleston Courier. dated Columbia S. C. te
Sept: .5th:
Private letters from leadling Democrats, s"
i orth it is stated, have determined thte po- ti
licyof that party to be to add tb Fillmore's do
I stiength in New York : and let Massachu- pr
setts go by default, and concentrate on Pen- t
sylvania and New Jersey.
They will find out soon that Mr. Buchan- ad
an stands little better chance in Pennsylvania su
than he did a few weeks since in New York. an
As for New Jersy, it is idle to talk about it. 1'
Where. then will Mr. Buchanan's friend look W
for succor? To the South Well, suppose
for an instant, merely for the sake of humor
ing their political idmosyncracies and hallu
cinations, that the whole South should cast
for him its entire electoral vote ? Would that w
elect him t Would `'e be within gUnsliht of
the White House then ! Of course not.- -i
Aud in sober truth and common sel;se,we ask ga
the Union Democrats if they really suppose to
that Mr. Buchanan will receive anything like e"
a unanimous vote from the South ? What he
mean these upheavings of the masses in al- thi
most every Southern State for Fillmore ?
What mean these gatherings of the people da
by thousands and ten of thousands, those
spontaneous and prolonged reverberations for re(
Fillmore and the Union, that come booming ,
over the prairies and forest of the South in -
almost unbroken succession fro.n every quar
ter? Do they really expect to carry Mary- ly,
land and Delaware, Kentucky, Tennessee ' (
and Louisiana, not to speak of North Carolina an,
and Georgia ? If they do; we can only say
that they must be blind as bats to passing I
otl
events.
What then under all the circumstances is the
the use of keeping Mr. Buchanan in the field Car
and thus putting in jeopardy the election oRf a
the only man who can beat Fremont to
I FOR ScTHar.N CoNsr..rTION.-The Exe
cutive C',nmuittee of the sham Democratic
party, says an Exchange, have pnblished a
document at the office of the Washington i
Union,for circulation at the South, purporting
to give the anti-slavery record of Millard
SFillnmote,and thepro-slavery record of James
Buchanan.
't is sent out anonymously, and is intended
to disparage Mr. Fillmonre with Southern
men, and to hold up' -Old Squatter Sove
reanlty" as the only true friend of the South.
The above document is entitled:
r" Ss.vr agtation, w.!o ronimenced and who
ran ead it--Bhunn an d Fdl llmore from tnr
r record."
Mr. Fillmore's administration, says the
-\ Vshington Organ: is his record--Old Buck'
I has two-one for each end of the Union -
r \Ve learn thet by some terrible btnnder the
- Democrats have sent some of these Saouhern
f documents to the North ! !
And, by some aefirfd-b!under," as we show
I ed on Saturday, sume of these Northern doc
I uments have been sent South ! !
e Well may the lea.ling Buchananites ejacu
late de-piringly :
"'O what a tangled we) we weave,
When first we practice to deceive!"
A Cassls.-The Democratic presses and
orators, says the Southern Recorder, are
hoarse with the cry that the country is in a a
crisis. Well suppose it is.-Who brought I
this crisis on ? Who are responsible for it ?
Neither Whigs nor Know Nothings have been
in power, and, of course, they ale innocent.
Who, but the Democracy themselves, then.
are guilty ? They have had every thing
their way. If there be a crisis, as there cer
tai:uly is, they and they alone are to blame
I, for it.
But we admonish our friends to beware of
n this tricky-cry. It is resorted to by the
e Loco's to procure votes for Buchanan. To re
e instate them in power again-the very men
who have brought all our present evils upon
f us--is the remedy they propose tor the crisis
d themselves have produced. Is not this rem
d edy beautifully queer ? Oh, yes; there is a
e great crisis, and everybody must sustain Bu
chanan, or the country is gone ! Why don't
II these self-proclaimed patriots tell the truth'
and let the people know that thereis a crisis
Siu the Democratic party, and that all this cry
y about a crisis is only for party purposes, and
it not for the good of the countryv Why don't
d these hypocritical wretches do this ?
DYr.G WonDs.-The last- words of great
e men, says an exchange,-are always remem
a bered. As John Q. Adams expired,'he cried
re "This is the last of earth !" Daniel Webster
e uttered the words, "I still live!' ' James Bu
- chanan, surrounded by the Keystone Club.
,k exclaimed, as he turned into a platform, "I
is am no longer James Buchanan!"
ie The National Black Republican Kansas
as Committee, in a recently published state
le ment, estimates the real free State inhabit
Ov tants of Kansas at the present time at 30.000,
D6, and the pro-slavery settlers at .5000.. -now it
does appear to us extraordinary, how, with
ar such disparity in numbers, the "'pro-slavery"
c- people could commit so many "outrages" as
ed they tell of. The statements don t groove or
as dovetail together at all. If the first averment
re be true, the :'outrageous" transactions must
se be, a good many of them at least; fishy.
Im A GREAT DISCOVERY.--The Pulaski, Me.,
- De#oc'at, alluding to the defeat of the Bu
ne chaniers in Maine, says it was " owing to
us various causes, but principally to a deficiency
of the Democratic votes."
How is IT !-A few days ago we recieve
a letter fromn the managers of the Alabama
and Georgia Lotteriep, enclosing two schemes
for drawings of those lotteries, and request
ing to know what we would charge for adver
tising the schemes, and wishing to make an
agreement to advertise yearly.
Our worthy Districs Attorney, J. D.
SrVAaT, has, we understand, expressed a de
tcrmnilation to execute the law against all
who may advertise Lottery schemes. or the
selling of tickets, in this dibtrict. Such adver
tising and Pale beirg against law. Now we
do not want such advertisements at any
price, as they are generally more trouble than
they are worth, but the New Orleanbs ppers
advertise for these lotteries and give the re
suit of their drawings; besides their t:ckets
and tickets for the Havanna lottery are sold
publicly in many of the stores in that city.
We would like to know if it is not just as it
legal to dabble in thee mattcrs in the city
as it is in the country .

BccL.%uN.&x's Paost.crs.-The N. Y. State
men, thus speaks of the hopeless condition of
Buchanan, while it offers sound advice to na
tional men:
If he could not carry .Maine, when North
ern State can he carry ! His defeat there is
ntt sim,dly a simple a majority against him,
but there is no hope left of him carrying the
State in November, while the majority, and
the circumstaues under whichbhis result was
achieved, seem to authorize no other belief
that all the hithetto reliable Democratic
States-Pennslvaiia included-will be inevi
tably lost to him.
Theses thing teach but one lesson. It is,
that the National men everywhere should combine
their energies to save te cocutry, Were the elec
tion to take place in New York to-day.Mr. Bu
chanan would fare no better than he did in
Maine, while he is growing weakerand wea
ker day by day. Neither Virginia nor all
the Southern States combined can save him
if they would, and every vote east for him
there but render certain the result which all
lovers of the Union everywhere would so
much deplore. It is now clear that if Sec
' tionalism triumphs, it will be through the
i folly of National men, and in consequence of
their blind persistence in support of a candi
