It the Charleston Convention by the ma-
jority of the committee on Platform, voted
for those by the Fifteen Southern' States
and ¿y California and Oregon, and adopted
at Baltimore by the Convention that npm

Resolved, That the platform, adopted by
the democratic party at Cincinnati be af-
firmed, with the following explanatory res-
olutions.
1st That the government of a Terri-
tory organized by an act of Congress, is
f>rovisional and temporary, and during its
existence, ail eitizpus of the United States
have an equal right to settle with their
property iu the Territory without their
figbu either of person or property being
'or impared by Congressional or
legislation.
U is thé duty of the Federal Gov
erament in ail its departments, to. project
when necessary the rights, of persons and
property to the Territories, and whatever
«be Ha constitution authority extends.
3d. That when settlers in a Territory,
having an adequate population, form
State constitution in pursuance of law, the
rig^tof sovereignty commences, and being

To day we publish a portion of tbe re-
cord of John Bell, taken from the N. O.
Delta, and invite the attention of our
eadeis to it The Constitution, the Uuion
and the enforcement of the law being the'
platform of the Bell-Everett party, we
have a small sample, in his record, of the
Constitution as he understands it, as well
as what sacrifices and compromises he is
et willing to make to save the Union.
"3ut admitting, for the sake of argument,
that John Bell was everything that tbe
Scutb could wish; that his position w^s
not only conservative of the Union, but
preservative of tbe constilutional rights of
the South ; that be not only was patriotic
enough, but had the nerye and heroism
to boldly meet and emphatically selüe tbe
issues pending between the North and
the South, yet how could the South re-
concile Everett's freesoil position add abo-
lition proclivities with Mr. Bell. Is the
South at last come to this, that in order to
' ,V ' ■ . '
get a Union-savipg President she must
swallow, at the same dose, a freesoiler ? If
she has, then is ¿he more degraded than
it was expected a few year , since she ever
Wohld be, and must be aid and comfort to
Black Republicanism, while the fact of
such degradation is a strong invitation to
come and conquor.
It is useless to. attempt to. break the
force, or evade the conclusions to be drawn
from Mr. Everett's endorsement of those
"resojves" in 1830. Some of the Bell-
Everett papers attempt to extract the ne-
gro-odor from this letter, by terming it the
twenty year old letter," but the odor lin-
gers there still. We baye no rea on to
warrant a, belief or justify a conclusion that
tie is not still in favor of those 44 resolves."
Those resolves were of course very conser-
vative and Union saving, but at the same
tinve Constitution violating and insulting
to the South. Mr. Everett was merely in
favor of abolishing slavery in the District
of Columbia; opposed to tbe admission
of another slaye State; in fayor of abol-
ishing the qlayé trade between the States.
But it « ould not do to call Mr. Everett an
Abolitionist, for abolitionism nteans to cut
our throaty burn pur houses, justifies, rape,
while, it -commits robbery. Oh ! no, i
ould npt do to call Mr. Everett an aboli-
tionist, for he is a free soiler, and is mere-
ly in favor of strengthening the abolition
party, when ho knows what that party
intends to do. He. is merely in favor (of
course an elegant gentleman like him nev-
er means any harm) of tying our hands
and standing still, while he knows Massa-
chusetts pikes are being forged and pointed
for our breasts. Black Republicanism is
in favor of blowing out puj brains, if that
stoads in tie way of their designs, while
Mr. Everett would merely steal our senses.
Black Republicanism would cot our throats,
M,r. Everett would place tbe delicate and
elegant band of free-soilism to our throats
and humanely choke us to death, while he
would convince us by his. eloquence that
he was opposed to any such proceeding,
or that it was for our temporal and celes-
tial salvatipn. We are asked to place
this. " manner of man" in the office of
Vice President, to preside over the United
Stati s Senate, there to give casting votes,
to organize committees, and in fact to
shake the power of that, tbe only branch
of Congresa where the South has been able
to cope with abolitionism.
By doing this we are told we will get
Mr. John Bell for President Some may
call this a cheap victory, but if it is not
fighting for a shadow, and gaining it at
the expense of self respept, honor and, con
atitutioual principle of vital importance to
the South, it would be difficult to imagine
such a case. ]
l ' Tijb Wrather. — Tbaiik God, tbe
drówth is at an end. Tbe whole South
has suffered more or less tbivyear. This
has truly been a disasterous summer to
¿he.vegetable and animal world* through-
out á targe extent of country. We how-
ever believe Navarro and adjacent coun
tie* have suffered bass from the numerous
>llaoo:deuts by flood and field'* and fir
than a great many sections, for which we
have reason to be thankful. We have
enough bread-stuffs, and some to spare—
plenty of beef, mutton, &c. For tbe last
two or three days we have had the ravn-f-
• the gentle rain"—and tbe grass is spring-
ing up luxuriantly. What would some of
our sister States give for our free pastu/es?
Gkammar-school.-f-A criticle examina-
tion of the pupils of this school will take
place today. Judging from the reputa-
tion the school and its efficient preceptor
have, we opine it will not only be inter-
esting and entertaining, but instructive to
all spectators who may attend and give it
that attention which it so justly merits.
Mr. Watford, at the close of this examina-
tion, will proffer to teach another school,
should the number of scholars be suffi-
cient to justify it. We wish him and his
labors success,

August l^th.,.1800. J
From this modern Babylon of fashion,
beauty and invalids, I shall devote an
hour of random thougbtto tbe " Expfess:"
1 left Maryland the last of July, accom-
panied by two gentlemen and a servant,
and reached this place about a week ago,
the travel occupying pearly three days.
The first day took us by steam-boat to
Baltimore. Tbe next afternoon we went
on as far as Alexandria, where we, spent
the night; early tbe following morning
took the cars, and by the Orange and Al-
exandria route went to Gordonsville,thence
by the Virginia central railway to Mill-
boro, which we reached at 5 o'clock, p. m.
At half past 5 we took stage over a good
mountain road, fifteen miles to this place,
where we arrived between 9 and 10 o'clock
—dusty, fatigued, hungry and *.'.£epy,
These Springs are ab'outl70miles,near-
ly west, on the grf&fc Spring route, from
Staunton, ot points further west, on the
Vir £!«ma central railway by the 11 ot and
White Sulphur to the Ol io river, at Guan-
dotte. They are situated in a delightful
valley, between lofty hill ranges. Fine
views are open all about on tbe Wárm
Spring Mountain. From the " gap,"
where the road crosses, and from '■ the
rock," #700. feet above tide watfc^ the dis-
play is d?se?ved!y famous.
All the principle places of resor^ in the
Virginia mountain a^e well patronized
this season"—nearly all of them baying tbe
GENERAL NEV/S.
On the 13th inst intelligence reached
New Orleans that the town of Proctorville,
on Lake Borgue, (terminus of tbe Mexican
Gulf railroad), was swept away by the
gale and flood of Saturday previous, with
a loss of thirty ot forty lives. The coun-
try was flooded for m:les back, and rail-
road communication cut off. Housés,
wharves, light bouse and all were swept
away. The Crescent says, " From all we
hear, the furious inundation of the sea,
with tbe hurricane which prevailed, and of
people floating away on the wrecks of
houses only to be drowned at last, were
but a repetition of tbe awful scenes at
Last Inland in 1856."
The storm inundated &e entire parish
of Piaquimine (:om Dr.Wederstrands' down
^0 f-be Quarantine Station. On the pub-
lic roads at Point-a-la-Hache the water
rose four feet deep; at Urquhart's plan-
tation it was niue feet deep. Crops, stacks,
of fodder, etc., tc., were all cairied away.
Numerous other tearful antl destructive
disasters occurred on the Lake and in tue
Mississippi, at aiid near its mouth.

ocrats will hold a convention op the 11 tb

ton McClarty a majority of 25,833 votes.
"It was a dangerous policy for the.
South to admit that she could act secede
from the Union. It reminded him of an
anecdote of a weak and powerful man who
slept together one bitter cold night—their
only covering a blanket. Ip the course of
the night tbe powerful m^n pulled the
covering from off the weak one. V Give
tap some of the blanket," he cried. il I
shall not do -any auch thing," said he,
pulling the blanket yet closer around him.
" I shall freeze if you dou't," pitpously
moaned the weak man. " 1 don't care if
you do," said be, WeU, then, I'll have
ity for accommodation. Tbe number at
this jjlace varies from 13.0 to 150, and 50
more could be added before tbe maximum
of entertainment would be reached' In.
deed, from my information iu regard to
the many other first-class Springs in this
region, I judge that the traveler would
find the Ipdging, the table, and servants'
attention at the Warm Springs superior
to those of any other resort in the moun-
tains. The waters here have become cel-
ebrated for their curative qualities in vari-
ous diseases, as «veil as for the mere luxu-
ry of bathing, which are not surpassed by
any Baths in the United States. , Oi
course all the^e places are duly " puffed,''
and not a single one of tbem lack certifi-
cates declaring tbe virtues of the waters
to be equal to that of Bethesd^ of o)d—
faith, with seven dips in the troubled pool,
are the only requisites to secure the re-
moval of any disease to which you may
be a victim.
A very large proportion of the visitors
here are from the South—indeed, of tbe
15.0 rr 160 names entered upon the regis
ter during the last weelj^ I do not think,
there ai;e a dozen Reside o ts pf States north
of Mason and Dixon's line. Virginia, fur-
nishes, as we migbt expegtv a large quota;
and tbe South generally, and particularly
the States of Mississippi, Alabama, North
and South Caroling aie well represented.
A day ot two. ago a gentleman from Mis-
sissippi said to me that no. less than two
hundred Mississippians were at the di&N
enrSj>ring8 in the mountain* of Virginia.
During tbe past and the present season a
much less number of Southerners have vi
ited Saratoga, Newport, Cape May, &c.,
than, formerly; while on the other hand,
as intimated above, the representation of
the North at Southern watery points, has
been comparatively small. These are au
tboratively stated to be facts ; and many
profess to explaio them by attributing tbe
change to the excited sectional feeling of
the country. I am disposed to admit this
explanation to be correct in a qualified de-
gree, but would rather iuclino to the opin-
ion that a combination of causes has pro-
duced this change. The polUioal horizon
is dark and foreboding—it isonly the keen-
est eye and the strongest faith which can
discern a silver lining to the clouds abo&t
and above us. There is one fact tp. cheer
the Southern as well as the Northern pa-
triots : Breckenridge and Lane are surely
gaining every day ; and the charge that
they represent disunion sentiments is be
coming to be regarded by the intelligent
masses as idle as that brought against Gen.
Pierce of his fainting ip a battle in Mexico.
IfrorptOI tbe information I can com-
mand, I cannot believe bpt that Virginia
will crtbt hen electoral vote for Brecken-
ridge and Lane. In Maryland we have a
full and strong electoral, ticket, and Dem-
ocrats will do their duty in the approach-
ing Presidential contest
Excuse this abrupt conclusion. I will
write you again in a few days.

to get out of bed or freeze." No you
shall not," peremptorialy said the large
and powerful man, u if you do, I'll whip
you." " What do you want with me?"
he asked. 441 want you in bed to keep my
back warm /" So it would be with the
South if the Black Republican party were
to get the government into their own
l^auds; so it would be with her if the
doctriue that a State is merely a creature
of the government, and that she cannot
judge ib* herself when her rights are
invaded or bee sovereignty destroyed,
were onc^ admitted to be the correct
gropu.d. We cannot says tbe Argus, fol-
low tghe able reasonings of Col. Ramey, in
this branch of his address, nor could we
do him jpptioe in the limited space of a
newspaper article; but we cannot permit
tbia occasion to pass by without saying
that his defence and elucidation of the doc
trines of the States rights party was able
and dignified, and was^calculated to throw
much light upvn the subject, and to cre-
ate a spirit of investigation.—Argus.
It may be said, that Mr. Rainey onlv
advocates tbe right of secessation, and uo't
secession, itself. Why claim the right, if
be does not intend to exercise it ? Do
men go ¡uto coprts of justice and assert
their rights to property, merely because
the constitution and laws of tbe land give
them the privilege of bo doing \ or is" it be-
cause they wish to exercise tbe very rights
for which they are contending I Let°the
experience and common senSe of every man
answer.
We have a few words to say in regard
to the " dangerous policy," ot' which*Mr.
Rainey speaks, lie tells us it i8 d..n.'ei-
ous for the South to admit that she can-
not secede from tbe Union, And why
dangerous í la the South too cowardly
to appeal to the god of battles, should such
a course become necessary to the protec-
tion of^her rights ? It would seem that
Mr. Rainey thinks so. The patriots of'76
were not afraid to make such an appeal.
The weak men of that day instead of act
ing like a sniveling coward, and trying to
44 secede" out of the bed, seized a stick and
cudgeled his ted-fellow into sense of
justice. And by this manly course he
gained the respect to which he was enti-
tled.—McKinney Messenger.
The Messenger makes the above extract
from the Argus of a synopsis of A. T.
Rainey's speech at Crockett. Tbe Messen-
ger asks, 44 Why claim the right, if be
does not intend to exercise it!" Because
by asserting the right we notify the aggres-
sor of the result of that course, and place
them in full knowledge of what they may
expect. This is generous, and far more
patriotic than to deceive tbem into an at-
tack upon pur rights—far more conserva-
tive than to impress upon the North the
idea that we will pot secede, and thereby
invite aggression, and after inviting it, se-
cede, or do what is much worse, go into a
civil war, while under the same govern-
ment as Mexico has been doing for twenty-
five years. The patriots of '76, to whom
the Messsenger alludes, did assert their
rights by resolutions, petitions and remon-
strances ; but these all failing, tbe thirteen
colonies belonging to the United King-
dom of England, Ireland and Scotland, on
the 4th of July, 1776, did secede by de-
claring their independence. The thirteen
colonies did not, like M a sniveling coward,
seize a stick, and while in the same bed,
cudgel Great Britain into a sense of jus
tice." The Messenger will hardly assert
that the colonies are still in the same bed
with England now; and if not, did they
not secede because their rights were vio-
lated. This is an unpleasaut scrap of ¿isto
ry for the positiouof suchas Üi$ Mssxen-
ger.
LJ&TER FROM" FLOWER DALE.
Flowerdale, Freestone county, )'
August 24th, 1860. J
Editors Express: Some few months
since there was a town laid off on Tahuaca-
na creek, in Freestone county, and called
"Flowep.dale ;" the object of which was
to induce some person to bring a stock of
goods to our neighborhood, and to encour-
age mechanics to establish shops in our
midst, for their profit and our accommo-
dation.
Tbid move was united on the part of
the neighborhood. Tbe citizens held a
meeting on the Bub^ect, and selected
site.' This was done to &h'ow;to mechan-
ics and capitalists^ that we would not only
encourage, but give tbem our undivided
patronage. But as yet no one has made
an attempt to establish either a mechanic
shop or store in the town.
Why tbia is the case I can not tell; but
presume it is owing to tbe fact that those
wishing to embark in such.enterprise have
prefered to listen- to tbe misrepresentations
of persons interested in the welfare of other
places, rather than come and. see for them-
selves.
1 will admit that my knowledge of the
mercantile and mechanical business
somewhat limited; yet so far as my knowl-
edge extends iu ibis line, 1 am forced to
acknowledge that this place has the pre-
cedence over most places in poia;t of adap-
tability for the mercantile and mechanical
trades.
We are situated a long ways from any
point of trade, it being 14 miles to Cotton
Gin, and about tbe same to Fairfield, and
18 miles to Corsicana. This is quite a dis-
tance to have to travel for a plug of tobac
co, a drink of * Strychnine," a yard of
" caliker." or a pound of soap!
I am well satisfied that our population
and their'pecuniary resources is ail-sufficient
to support a village of fair size. Our4
lands are tbe best in the county, and 1
doubt whether the Brazos bottoms h^ve
ever excelled them in producing. Our
creek always has more produce to sell, and
gets better prices than most other places;
therefore mopey is geneaally plenty, and
the people liberal afta moral. There has
been fifteen crops made on tbe creek, and
never a total faiíure. v , . . ;
We are not at w$r with other towns,
bpt, on the contrary, w.ish tbegi well. Our
anxiety for a town in our midst originates
only from an intense desire to aeeomrao
date eurselves and relieve us of thé great
burden of going so far to ti;ade.
My reason for making the above remark
íb that there is an artesian well in progress
at this place, and I beard a conversation
in Fairfield yesterday, and one of the citi-
zens of that place remarked that he
<4 would not encourage a well here front
the ffcCt that it would injure Fairfield
For tbe satisfaction of those interested in
artesian wells, I will inform you that the
work has been resumed again on tbe one
at this place, and has attained tbe depth
of 315 feet, aifd the undertaker says that
it is bis iutentiou to cohtiuue tbe work now
without intermission until it is completed,
lie hopes to succeed at lea* than a thous-
and feet He sinks his auger from 18 to
24 inches at a draught, and makes six
draughts in a day, if not detained by
coming in contact with rock or breakin
tools. The number of rock gone throng
are 18—but usually quite email ones—
tbe largest being but thirty inches in thick-
ness.
Y will close by asking mechanics and
capitalist to visit Flowerdale and estab-
lishing themselves here.

" Weep not for those
Who sink within the arms of death
Ere yet the ehiHing wintry breath
Of sorrow o'er them blows,
But weep for them who here remain,
The mournful heritor* of pain.
Condemn'd to see each bright joy fade.
And mark grief's melancholy shad
Flung o'er Hope's fairest rose."
At the residence of Dr. Tate, on the night
of tbe 30th inst, Mrs. KLMIRAS. BURTON,
aged 49 years, 6 months and 26 days.
The deceased was born in Madison coun-
ty, Alabama, March lltb, 1811. She
lived the life and died the death of a true
follower of our Lord Jesus Christ She
leaves a large circle of relatives and friends
to mourn her departure. In truth may
it be said that44 our loss is her gain/' The
following lines by Pope no doubt fully ex-
press her thoughts in that trying moment
when soul and body are parted forever:.
The world recedes; U disappears !
Meav'n opens on my eyes! my ears
With sounds seraphic ring:
Lend, lend your wings ! 1 mount! I fly I;
• O grave! where is thy vietory!
O death! where is thy sting ?
