MISSISSIPPI DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.
Resolved, That we re-announce as the basis of
partly action, the platform of principles laid down
by the Democratic party at the National Convention
of 185(i: and hold that the doctrine of "non
intervention" with the inKtitution of slavery In the
States, Territories, or District of Columbia, does
not, nor was it intended to, conflict with the
assertion of the power of Congress to protect the
liutiEny ui me ciuteunoi me several states, who
may choose to settle in the Territories, which are
the common property of all the States.
Resolved, That in the language of the Supreme
Court of the United States, that "the right of
pmiivrty ia oives is aistinotiy and expressly
auiiuicu m ma vuuHiuuuon -ana toeonly power
over it conferred upon Congress, is the power

sister slareholding States in insisting upon the
imuiwuiciii ujr un me aepartnients or the federal
government of their constitutional rights as thus

States.

We find several things in the letter of our cor
respondent at Nashville to object to ; and we do
not agree with him in several assertions he makes.
In the first place, he says, in regard to the late
election in Tennessee : "We have met the enemy
and they are ours." In one sense of the phrase
this is true. It is true that in the contest for State
officers the Democracy aohieved a signal success.
"They fought like brave men, long and well," and
turned the tide of battle in their favor for the
governorship and the legislature ; but in the Con
gressional struggle our friand might with equal
truth have added : "We have met the enemy and
we are theirs." The Opposition claim a viotory,
and their claim must be allowed. Whether their
claim is greater in importance than that of the
Democracy is a question of difference and doubt
To bur mind it is greater in a national point of view
especially in the sectional aspect of affairs
It is reported in Washing ton that the Mississippi

i to the Charleston Convention to withdraw from
mat oociy uuioss they succeed in engrailing upon
the platform the Southern InteruietaticiD. aud the
enactment by Congress of laws for the protection
ot slave property in the United states rerriiones,
in accordance with the Dred Scott decision. The
Alabama and South Carolina delegation will follow
then. Charleston Uercmy,, ,.
The report referred to' above is incorrect.
Delegates to the Charleston Convention from this
State ate not yet appointed. With regard to the
instructions spoken of we have a word to say
Experience teaches the fact that little or no
reliance Is trbe placed In the promises of a "party
Dlatform. It serves as a basis on which to conduct
a canvass, and to keep the party united until
after the election. It is excessively praised
pending the contest, and as excessively abused
after it is ended. Before the election, all hands
are united on the construction and meaning of the
instrument, and afterwards new and unheard of
interpretations are placed upon it.
Our delgatea will certainly be instructed to have
the southern construction of the Dred Soott de
oision engrafted on the platform to be promulged
at Charleston, and also to contend for the recogni
tion in that instrument of the right and duty of
Congress to give adequate protection to slave
property in the territories, in default of such
provision in territorial legislation ; and unlesB
theBe demands be eonceded by that body, and
ratified bv its nominee for President as a enhati-
tutional right, a Vast majority of the Southern
people will indignantly repudiate the whole con
cern.
We have no doubt but that these demands will
receive the assent of the Convention and that
candidate friendly to tbem will be nominated
But even this will be of little advantage to us of
the South. It is not to platforms of national
conventions, or to F residents, that wn are to look
for our rights and liberties under the Constitution
The dissolution of the Union ootild not be agitated
upon the bad faith of a President, or the nnlitical
juggle of a national convention : for it is not to
tnese mat we look tor our rights in the Union
under the Constitution. Conventions may resolve
and re-resolve, and Presidential candidates mav
promise and pledge to the satisfaction of every
man ; but neither resolves and pledges from these
or any other quarters will satisfy the necessities
and demands of the South. It Is to Congress that
the Southern people are lookinir for and exnectine
adequate protection for their liberty and property
under the Constitution and laws. It is on this
body that the demand is made, and it will be on
its refusal that tbey will determiue the remedy
against future aggressions, and the mode and
measure or redress for past grievances.
The tendency of political feeling is to bo more
sectional and less national every day

tracts from that part of the great debate in the
Senate of the United States, in February last,
which occurred between Senators Davis, of Miss
issippi. and Douglas, of Illinois. The attentive
reader will observe that Mr. Douglas could not be
brought to give a satisfactory answer to the ques
tion repeatedly put to him by Col. Davis. And it
was an easy question to answer. . It might have
been answered in monosyllables; and the evasive
ness of the Senator on the point is the more
surprising, when in the same debate he used this
language : "My oandid opinion is, that we Demo
crats had better speak out plainly. If we oannot
agree, let us know it ; if we can ftgroe, let us

FOE THE PKMOOBAT. .
Canton, Sept. 6th, 1859.
Mb. Editor: Upon my return home, after an
absence of two months, my attention was oalled
to the following article, which appeared in the
Jackson Eagle of the South, of the 9th June.
Thb Coolii Trade. The lasoo Democrat, of
late dntA. aura that aavni-at citizen nf Lnuisinna
wishing to introduce the Coolie system of labor,
"applied to Secretary Cobb for permission to do
10. but were refused, upon the grounds that it
conflicted with the spirit of the law against the
introduction of Africans, and would be made a
diamiiHA. under whifh thov wnnld ha imnAftArl
But, upon more mature deliberation, Mr. Cobb
rcirunuu iius upiuiun, ana luiurineu me appli
cants that Coolies could be brought into the Union
as apprentices. ne tninic our rriena or the
Democrat has been misinformed on the subiect.
We never heard of Mr. Oobb's delivering the
opinion that Coolies oould be brought into the
United States as Apprentices. . Such an impor
tant decision would oertainly have beoome public.
It is really a matter of no great importance,
and I would not, at this late day, undertake to
satisfy the Eagle of the correctness of the asser
tions made in the above article, did not an not of
juuct, both to Mr. Calhoon and myself, demand
When that article appeared, Mr. Calhoon was
absent, and the editorial department of the Demo
crat was in my charge, and I can assure the
Eagle that the facts occurred as stated in the
above extract, and were received by me from the
lips of one of the three gentlemen who tiiade the
application to Mr. Cobb, and upon his authority,
those facts were made public. But, after learn
ing that the correctness of the assertions contain
ed in that article had been questioned, I addressed
note to Mr. Duralde, inquiring if they were
correct, and here is his reply ;
Baton Rouge. August 15th, 18j9.
Deur Sir : I received your letter of the l lib
inst., inquiring whether you were correct in
understanding me to sny at Slack's that I and
several friends bad applied to Secretary Cobb to
know whether we could introduce Coolies in this
country. The application was made to hi'm
through Collector Hatch. He denied to us the
rignt, put alterwards wroto to liatch that he

think that it was, as he at first supposed it to be,
a violation of the slave trade.
Very respectfully, J. V. DURALDE.
C. P. Moore, Esq., Canton.
Thus it will bo seen that the decision of Mr.
Cobb was not made publicly, but through Collec
tor Hatch, which accounts for the Eagle nover
having seen it. Very respectfully.

Ma. Editor : I suppose you witnessed, on the
night of the Sht ult., that most beautiful and
interesting renal phenomenon, which, suddenly
rising as a bright halo in the east, soon spread
over tne northern half of the heavens. The
moon had gone down some hours before, and the
night was unusually dark, while the southern
sny was overcast with clouds dense and gloomy:
indeed, the darkness at II o'clock at night was so
perfect that it was with danger end difficulty the
oeutgnted traveler made his way through it. We
were surprised that it should be so suddenly and
intensely dark, and waaondering within ourself
as 10 me cause, when suddenly a bright halo be
gan to spread itself over the eastern horizon,
taking the direction of a meridian line towards
the west. As this halo brightened, the mid-
heaven put on a scarlet blush, which would
deepen for a moment, and be streaked aa it were
with bands Of silver, while these in turn yielded
to the deep red stripes, which soon spread to the
west, as ir the eky were dripping with blood.
This most exquisitely beautiful blush continued
until dissipated by the rays of the risinir aim.
oienoing into day -until lost lb. its brighter beam.
Like the memorable " star ahowet1," thhj one
of the " seven wonders" defies description. No
brush could imitate its beauty, nbr imagination
conceive its loveliness. No Italian idnset half
so gorgeous as were the heavens at that hour.

answer?.
Yazoo is admitted to be in the heart of oot

year; its banks are adorned with finely im
Droved residences: its ladies are rich am)
pretty, aLd tho men brave and gallaut. When
tne Mississippi uentrai ltoaa is nnisiied, tne
Yazoo valley will become better known to
people in this pari of the country.
What think you of politics now? It will
not be long before the Charleston Convention
meets. It will then be the duty of the Demo
cratic party, as it did the last time, to present
a sound and national man to the people for
President. And they must nominate one
who is tare to be elected ; for what would be
the consequences if that party were defeated,
and the government left in the hands of the
