If there were ten men hostile to mo. and ten

be the height, of folly for me to make the

the election, and got into power, they could not
have shown more elation. They thought that the
Democratic party, which they had in rain endeavor-
ed to destroy, had killed itself by committing poli-
tical suicide. But when, on Thursday morning last,
we learned that the conven ion had adjourned over
to meet in Baltimore, their faces were very much
elongated I have no doubt they w uld like-that we
should get into such collisions and divisions as would
enable them to triumph over us; but 1 do not think
they >*re destined to have this gratification. The
Democratic party has great vitality, bocause it stands
on the great principles of the Constitution; it has
good and true men in every section of the country

are you likely to elect such a candidate? I ask,
in all soberness, could you possibly so change
your platform as to drive otf some of your candi-
dates, because they are too strong to be lieaten
otherwise, and expect to succeed.' I do not be-
lieve it; and I say. therefore, that of the three
classes of men that are opposed to the view I am
taking, the first are the only wise ones. To the
last I would say if they get a candidate nomina-
ted upon intervention, I greatly fear he would be
defeated, and if the1* have separate candidates, I
have no doubt they will he. 1 hold, then, tbat
the only wise men of these three clnsses are those
who lielieve the Government had better l e broken
np ; because if they can destroy the Democratic
party in any way, they will have made a great
stride in that ditection.
Before quitting this branch o the subject. 1 de-
sire to.allude to another remark ihat is ofen made
in the country. It is sajd somewhat tauntingly,
1 think, by thoughtless southern men, that as to
the noriherii States, thej cannot be counted upon
as Democratic ; that no' one of them is certainly
Democratic, and that their views ought not to be
heard. Mr. President, I think it comes with a
bad grace from any southern man to throw tbis
out. Upon the old issues upon which' the Demo
cratic psrty was built pp, the great body -otehe
North would be Democratic to-day—there is m>
doubt about tbat—and the South might not unan-
imously be so. In the very last contest that turn d
upon these old iseues, in 1S48, nearly half tl le
South votedlor the Whig candidate, and'the Nor h
was divided in abont the same prop u-tion. At th|it
time the anti-slavery movement, which bad pre-
viously existed, gained such power that our elec-
tions since then have turned upon the slavery
question, and they have gained strength, 1; admit,
against our frien Js; but we of the South have no
right tcr boastof oureposition. The only fight has
been,with the Abolitionists in the last two elec-
tions' When I say Abolitionists, perhaps; I use
too fltrtffcg a term. I mean the anti-slavery
consisting of Abolitionists, Fre<vSoilers, and otl
era. We boast in the South that they havemade
so inroads among ns. Why, sir, if an Abolition-
ist were to comc into the part of the country
where I live, or were to manifest himself in any
way, the bceli thing he could do would be to emi-.
mute very rapidly, and if he did not carry with
him a little tar and feathers he would be quite
lucky. Ate we to boast and plume ourselves on
the idea that in fighting the Abolitionists we ca^
carry the Southern Suttfs ? If we could npt, we
should not be worth anything; but where .hey

I see the Serator from Tennessee, (Mr Johxson.)
a ru'iveof my "wu State, a gentleman whose talents
and energy have enabled him to overcome the great
est. obstacles, aud placed hira in the front rank of
the statesmen of the country. Tf I look around, I
find-the Senator frotn Oregon, (Mr. Lank,) likewise
a native of my orn State, whose long services td
his country on the field of battle ami in our civil
. . . . i councils render him, too, eminently worthy of this
tne<r country and position. Sir. so far from endeavoring to throw any
obst iclo in the way of any one or these gentlemen,
I would be proud to aid h<m. There is nothing
that either of them could desire that it would not
give me sincere gratification to assist them in

est and. th^toil and danger the greatest.
' Sntertaining these views, I have bean disposed to
abstain as much as possible from the discussion of
th~se questions, and I really hope thai we shall not
press tbem. I think no advantage can grow out of
it. I greatly fear that I have occupied more of the
valuable time of the Srnateihan 1 intended. I felt,
however, that from me, in my pos'tion. some expla-
nation was necessary. I think that the gentlemen
on the other side of the Chamber have given us a
pla form already. We shail have to fight them; we
had better make np our mind* to go into the contest,
and meet them on the preat issue they tender us.
In ten days we shall probably have their declaration
of war from Chicago, and the clash of arms will
commence jery soon It is time for us to close our
ranks. I am ready to fight under that flag and tbat
standard-bearer that may be given us. I can adopt
any of those platforms that were presented at Char-
leston. I leave all that to our political friends as-
sembled in convention. I know that they will pre-
sent a platform, and present a man les<< objectiona-
ble to me than the candidate on the other side. I
regard them as the deadly political enemies of my
section—as the enemies of the Constitution of the
United States. Let us embark in the contest and
fight them with closed and serried ranks on our side.
I have spoken only in behalf of the Democratic par-
ty, of the Constitution, and the country.
PUBLIC MEETING.
The Democratic citizens of the county of
Fannin, taking into consideration the critical
political juncture, resulting from the differences
of opinion and action at the late Charleston
Convention, deem that the emergency demands
moderate vet positive action, and aware that
there can be no State convention prior to the
assemblage of the Democratic National Con-
vention at Baltimore, and that instructions to
the Texas delegates are most essential: under
the circumstances existing, hereby resolve as
follows:
1st. That avoiding all expression ot appro-
val or disapproval of the action of the Texas
delegate* at Charleston, the Democracy of
Fannin county request that the delegates ap-
pointed by -the late State convention of Texas,
or as many of them as can convenieatl y do so
"Ml meet at Baltimore the Democratic
Delegations of the other States of the
Unkuip and conceding nothing of South-
era Rights, proceed to ballot for candidates for
President and Vice President of the United
'States, sustaining and yielding adhesion to the
nomine es of the convention.

fest our desire for harmony and the «ww*ii wd

W. H. 8., of Hempstead County, Ar-
kansas, sends us some very beautiful verses,
addressed to Miss H. C. R. of Texas, and re-
quests us to give them a place in our columns,
and " pass the defects of punctuation, compo-
sition and penmanship by, and attribute it to
an inexperienced youth, as this is my first."
We trust the inexperienced youth will ex-
cuse us for our frank declaration that we have
seen these same verses many times before, and
enjoyed them. We believe they were written
by Geo. D. Prentice; but whether so or not,
weie never written by any inexperienced youth.
There is too much perfection of melody and
finish of style for that. So, we regret that we
cannot consent to be the medium by which W.
H. S. may impress himself upon his Texas

earcfully through Grwwold's Poets of America,
she can find the lines, without the errors made
by the copyist who sends them to us. We

anti-slavery agitation, no* being wrought up
to as red a heat as praeticable. All men who
were psrhcipants in interest in the acoom-
ptiqhment of the aeries of compromise measures
of 18SU, and tee were of that number, present
at Washington, and anxious—will reeolleet
that the gr^at object to be aoeomplished by
those measures,\beyond immediate pacification
of distracting eleota^ts, was that the slavery
question was thereby ^to be pushed out it the
Congreesional arena, an&ns it wss supposed
extinguished as a cause of rational discord for-
ever—the people for themselvwOto determine
their own wishes in each inchoawsState, pre-
paratory to admission, and control ft,Nnth ref-
erence to their practical interests, with "refer-
ence to " climate, soil and other cvoamstani
having in each locality a bearing upon it—
'* where the Constitution and the great and
fundamental principles of eelf-goverument
piacc it."
Those who opposed these great measures of
pacification, have at every convenient oppor-
tunity sought to uproot the popular decision
upon the wisdom of that series of measures.
Tbe Southern people have been fruitlessly in-
voked to sustain Southern leagues, and organ-
ized movements in behalf of a slave codje for
thc territories. So far, the People, hav^ con-
temptuously disregarded these invocations;
and we are glad to see that in the Senate of
the Uuited States it has been unanimously de-
termined that intervention in the territories
for the protection of slavery is unnecessary.
If this legislative declaration is correct, will
somebody be pleased to show us, what practi-
cal force, or patriotic virtue there is in quar-
reling in Conventions, over an abstract propo-
sition, solemnly declared by the most august
body in the Nation, to be without vitality—a
proposition without a particle of practical
value f
All the world knows however, that there is
a class of persons who must have up an excite-
ment, or sink into unimportance. Having no
useful pursuit—living only upon factitious im-
portance, a national ulcer must be created, in-
order that they may empiricise/upon it.
We think it the duty of all patriotic men to
stamp their disapprobation upon ultraism, by
refusing to consider as a National evil every
disagreement upon abstract principles, nursed
by politicians, who are not statesmen, be-
cause tl'ey are-not imbued with the pure mo-
tives ot Use true statesman, and because they
cannot lnok upon political difficulties through
the broad medium, and with the calmness of
mind which distinguishes a statesman from a
mere politician—a pi'ice hunter.
In conclusion, we know, that as Mr. Cling-
man says, thurt art- persona who are in favor
of dissolution j r ,<e who in their narrow
min>!s really think it would be best for the
South to biinjj about such a disruption—who
wi' h to create impracticable, but insoluble is-
sues in the. Democratic party, hopelessly di-
vide it, ihus destroy the bulwark a?ainst Abo-
litionism, and thus bring about a dissolution,
by creating the opportunity for encroachment
by th<> freesoil party. This is their aim. Per-
haps they deceive themselves with the idea
that it would be best for the South. But do
the people so think ?—the great toiling masses
who deal in the realities of the labor of life,
and care nothing for the fruitless abstractions
got up by idle people to increase tlieir own
comparative magnitude ?
Do they care for these points of difficulty,
prepared for purposes of difficulty. Wl4 think
not! and we shall abide their decision and
counsel with than; for they are the real arbi-
ters in tho.dast resort, before whom all politi-
cal puppeta have to bow at last, and appear
upon, or <//*appear from the stage, as they
may direct.
Explanation.
It will be unnecessary to say to those of our
subscribers in the neighboring Counties, who
know that the regular editor of this paper was
at Fannio fast-week, Jie ddfes not
approve the expression in the article enuifod- -iog place.
" The Seceders," in the last issue, written
with more zeal than prudence. The editor
proper does not conceive Mr. Douglas " the
embodiment of humbuggery and abolitionism
but on the contrary, differing from him in
some respects, and preferring some other gen-
tlemen as candidates for the Presidency, he
respects Mr. Douglas as an old line Democrat
who has given as hard blow to Seward and his
party as any Statesman in die National coun
cils ; and as one who has far too much positive
intellect and boldness of character to be term-
ed a humbug. The editor of this paper is in-
clined to the belief that Mr. Douglas cannot
obtain the nomination, at Baltimore, and as
he has indicated,. prefers that he shall not:
irttf if.*he <loes obtain it, fairly, by the usual
course of two-tbirds nomination, no other man
in the Union will more promptly discard sec-
tional narrowness of view, and the considera-
tion of minor differences upon questions with-
out practical vitality, and present himself in
line, to answer to the Democratic roll call, and
charge to the trumpet blasts of the old Dem-
ocracy—the time-honored—the National-—
which knows no miserable seotional combina-
tions ; but has a creed as broad as the human-
ity of thc Caucassian race, and a heart whose
pulses have the same beat in Oregon as in
Maine, in California as in Florida. He is still
beneath the folds of the old banner which he
has. assisted to bear up unfurled in the storms
of many years, and which he hopes to see
wave untattered, over the combined hosts of
the supporters of human rights, and enlarged
liberty of thought, and speech, and action, for
many years to come. The old Democracy! it
will rally by countless thousands, when the call
to ranks i* sounded.
The Weather—The Crop*'
The crops in the Western Countiee ae in
this, were needing rain, though not absolute-
ly suffering; when on Sunday night, and Mon-
day night, we had fine rains, followed by a very
rain on Tuesday afternoon. We have not
heard whether the Counties west participated
in the benefit; but we barn, that they had
fine rain in Titus County last week, and tbat
crape were thrifty. Corn can be engaged now,
in this County at 50 oente per bushel; will/
probably be sold after August at mnch lew
than that. Wheat and oats erope in this
County, we learn, are very good. The oate
crop in Hopkins, Huut, Fannin and Lamtf ia
exMUmt., la* Hunt we m ay exoeUeat etopr

dest. ^Immigrants need have no frtr of acar.
eilfc, or high prices of eora or meat. Money
is scarce, and grain will be abundant in North-
ern Texas.
Boat and Fannin Courts.
Tbe editor of this paper was at both these
Courts. Fannin Court adjourned at the end
ot the first week, business being completed.
Attorneys is attendance at Bon ham were
Hendricks, Marshall and Binkley from Gi*y-
son^-Robinson, Lewellen and Easton from Col-
lin; W. B. Wright, Maxeys, Johnson and
Townes from Paris; Martin and Hardin Hart,
John E. Wilson and J M Leach from Hunt;
. McKinney from Hopkins.
xjn Hunt and Fannin both, public meetings
wer£\held, requesting the Texas delegates to
go to {h^ Convention ot the 18th, at Balti-
more. TthrDemecracy ot both Counties, with
rare exceptions, will support the regular nom-
inations of the Dtmociatic party, to be made
at the next meeting, x.
Texta Bntefc^risea.
Fiom editorial correspondence in the San
Antonio Herald, we clip thc following items,
showing that our State has resouroeft^for prog-
ress, just developing, outside of its immense
agricultural resources. From a friend,\we
learn that Toby & Booth have been here toforfey
and j erhaps are yet, Beefpackers on an exted
sive scale, at Chicago. We suppose tbat a
nice calculation has shown them that the cost
of ioe, toxjool the beef in the mild climate of
South-Western Texas, is more than compen-
sated by the low price of the beef; or in other
words that it is cheaper to bring schooner
loads of ice to lndianola,. than to drive beet
from the vicinage of lndianola to Chioago;
and then the freight of the packed beef from
lndianola to New York by sea, will not be
more than from Chicago to New York by canal
or Railroad. The enterprise will be ot great
advantage to the stockraisers of the South
'West:
In company with several gentlemen of this
place, I visited on Saturday the Green Turtle
Soup manufactory of Messrs H. Mulrennan,
iirthe upper part of the city, under the man-
agement of Mr. J. J. Harrison, and was truly
astonished at the scale upon which this rather
out of the way branoh of industry is carried
on by them:—Every thing is conducted by
steam, and iroin 50 to 100 turtles, weighing
from two to four hundred pounds each, arc
slaughtered and "put through" per week.
The soup is put up in hermetically sealed
cans and sent by thouands to all parts of the
*orld, but chiefly to the New York market
The Messrs. Harrisons formerly carried on
their business at Key West, Florida,but as the
Green Turtle can be had much cheaper here
than in any other portion of the country, they
have determined to make a permanent thing ot
it. here> and during winter to add the oyster
business to it, putting them up in the same
manner with the turtle.
I am much gratified to see such a branch of
enterprise prosecuted among us. Probably
tlieir operations will amount to a hundred thou-
sand dollars per year, every dollar of which is
a clcar gain to the capital of our section of
country.
Another very important branch ot business
is soon to be inaugurated here bv Messrs Toby
& Booth, recently from Chieago—namely,
Beet-packing, which is to be carried on upon
a large scale. The buildings are soon to be
commenced, and will be very extensive, em-
bracing an ice-house of gigantic proportions."

Major DeMome ( |f£
Dear Sir:—On last Saturday, aplf in
company witfi several othew, found the body
of a wn lying itt th6 river, four mile* below
tiie mouth of Mitt Creek ; supposed to be the
body of Charles 3. Bell, Civil Engineer, en
gaged on the Railroad. JUe-tastTneSe "pocket
a draft on tbe Railroad Company, for $40.00;
also, a note from Daniels, the Chief Engineer,
in relation to some work on the Road.
Mr Garland says he crossed the river on
Monday before, and one Mr. Berry saw him
wading io tbe river near the place we fouod
him. Bell handed Garland the diaffc, and #>ld
him to give it to Wallace at DeKalb, and tell
him to get the money for it, and p*y himself
a grocery bill out Ot it. He left his shoes and
hat at the river, at the mouth of Mill Creek
where he crossed. The flesh was all off his
face. The papers, and what Mr. Garland
states, are the only evidence we have of it be-
ing Bell. I have the draft. It might besome
satisfaction to some one to know.
Yours, in haste,

PUBLIC MEETING IN BOWIE.
At, a meeting of the citizens of Bowie county,
Texas, convened at the pourt-bouse in the
town of Boston, on Tuesday the 4th day of
June, A. D., 1860, to take into consideration
the expediency of puttiog in motion a project
for overcoming tbe difficulties of navigation
occasioned by the closing of " Red Ba-
you," and ot finding a way to get around
the\" Raft," James C. Moore, Esq., was called
jo the phair, and R. M. Lindsay chosen Sec-
retary.
Mr Lindsay being called for, arose and ex-
plained the ^ object of the meeting. After
which, it was, cm motion,
ReiioJved, That (his meeting earnestly re-
commend a general convention of delegates,
from the various coun tie* ot Texas, above the
Raft, interested in havibg '* navigation" of
some sort around that great Obstruction—from
those parts of the Sta^e of Arkansas, and ol
the Choctaw Nation, similarly interested—to
be held at the town of Clarksville, Red River
county, Texa£, on the second Monday id. July,
A. D., 1860, to deliberate upon the means of
relieving themselves from their present" di-
lemma," and of devising the moBt feasible plan
for accomplishing the ifork, with a view to im-
mediate relief.
Resolved, That this meeting wishes to be
understood as not having in contemplation the
" removal of the rail," but simply to get
around it, by the Lakes and Bayous; and
think that the route found by Captains Bois-
sean and Alban is practicable.
Resolvcdt That the following named gen-
tlemen be, and they are hereby appointed del-
egates to rew-esent Bowie county in said Con-
vent'on, viz: Robert J. Battle, Jackson W.
Handley, Robert D: Hooks, Dr. J M. Fort,
John C. Talbot, and X Dandridge Ellis.
Retnlvrd) That the a Standard" at Clarks-
ville be requested to publish these proceedings,
and that the " Washington Telegraph," at
Washington, Arkansas, be requested to copy
the same.
Whereupon the meetine adjourned.

CORRESPONDENCE.
Sherman, Tex., May 20th, 1860.
Editor of Standard ;
Knowing that the partial failure of the
wheat crop in our portion of the State, has
had a tendency to retard the prosperity and
growth of the country, as well as a temporary
check in business, I, as one interested in the
Ked River Counties, have taken the liberty to
olfer this tor the perusal of your readers, es-
pecially at a distance, who may design coming
to this State, in the fall. Which I frankly ac-
knowledge tbat for the last two months, busi-
ness has been unusually dull for tbis country,
I am happy to feel that a reaction U now tak-
_ " It is about harvest, the farmers
are mafciug*« ftce than enough wheat for sow-
ing next fall. Large amounts of 1rftf~
have been held back 'and are now being ground
up, and pushed into market. Collin Couoty,
is sending a surplus of flour here, and selling
it at $1.00 less than the price heretofore ask-
ed. A double crop of corn is growing, with
the most flattering prospect, a&d thousands of
acres more of ground have been sown this year
in oats, than ever before; which is now almost
made, and is said to be the be6t ever raised in
the country. Although wheat will be scarce,
the great abundance of corn and oats will more
than supply the place of it, aud the ensuing
fall will find us again with peace and plenty,
extending the hand of invitation to the enter-
prising immigrant from other States, offering
him plenty of the bountiful products of our
soil at reasonable prices. Our beautiful prai-
ries as is usual at this season, are) dotted with
" the flocks upon a thousand hills" and beef is
as plenty as ever, and the ptospent of future
abundance of grain has already caused a de-
cline in the prioe of flour; and I do honestly
believe, that in a month or two,' when the
baros and granaries of our old Kentucky and
Missouri farmers begin to groan with the weight
of millions of bushels of corn, now growing
upon the land formerly intended for wheat, as
well as the usual quantum of ground planted
besides, for home support, to say nothing of
the broad meadows of Hungarian grass (now
bending and waving so beautifully before the
Southern breeze) the scaroity of flour and
wheat will then oease to be felt, and will be a
matter of small importance; while good corn
meal will take the place for a time, and all will
be plenty again.. With this prospect, we do
not feel that we would risk anvthing, when we
assure those of other States who wish to seek
a home in Northern Texas, to come and settle
up the broad fields, yet blooming with the
flowers of nature, or wasting their substance
with fruitless weeds. J. W. R.

IMPROVED LIQDOR.

Major Dk Morse :—
On my way from Jefferson to this plaoa, I
stopped at Dalby Springs, for a cool drink of
water, and a little rest, which fact t would not
trouble to relate; but while aauntering around,
I found tiro individuals nauiftd A* * * * and
S* * * * **, who had s large toad of groceries,
consisting in part of bust-head whiskey, mean
tobacco, &e. They halted* few days at this
watering place, and the water heing the color

GENERAL NEWS.
Quebec, June 5.—The Nova Scotian brings
advices from Naples to the 23d ult They
state that the rebels encamped at San Martinn
had been beaten and driven twice from Par-
tincio with considerable lo£s. One of their
chief leaders had been killed. The royal troops
had taken the heights
On the 21st, a battalion of Royal Chasseurs,
attacked and dispersed thc insurgents. One
hundred and twenty eight rebels were killed.
The pontifical chasseurs fired on each other
by mistake on account of the d&rkness of the
uight. ,
Gen. Lamoriciere had been prohibited from
attacking the Piedmontese or assisting Na-
ples.
Advices from Rome state that the artillery
had left for the frontiers, and*that the papal
troops would go soon. Tbe peasantry was ask-
ing for arms.
Austria. Prussia and England have agreed
to maintain the integrity of Turkey.
Russian troops are.6till concentrating along
the river Pruth.
There are rumors of the concentration of
Russian troops on the eastern coast of the
Black sea. A great number had already .ar-
rived. - -
_ In consequence jf Garibaldi's departure for
Sicily, tbe Au^iTan government has resolved
to send a flotilla to oruise off the coasts of that
island.
In England there was a manifest sympathy
with the revolutionistp, and subscriptions were
openly being made in their aid. Lord John
Ruasell, also, had openly said that the govern-
ment! would not interfere.
Subscriptions had also been opened in
France.
Tbe mails ot the steamship Arabia, from
Liverpool thc 19th, with London files of the
same date, came to hand this morning.. The
Paris Patrie, of the 18th, gives the following
particulars of the landing of Garibaldi at Mar-
sala, in Sicily:
The spot for the disembarkation, which had
been settled for some' days, was kept secret,
but it was known to all the leaders of the move-
ment in the island, and the „ latter arrived at
the camp during the nitrht to come to an un-
derstanding on the steps to be taken next.
The next day the bodies of men that bad ta-
ken a part in the late revolt effected a junc
tion with the expeditionary corps, and it was
decided that the force should make a movement
on the 13th at daybreak. The order to march
was obeyed with great unanimity, and from
that moment the insurrection went on aug-
menting. The commander of the royal troops,
informed every hour of what passed, peroeiving
that it would not do to scatter his foroes, imme-
diately evacuated Trapani, the chief town of
the provinoe so called, and also all the interme-
diate points, and concentrated himself on Pal-
ermo, which he now holds.
The expeditionary force had advanced to
near Morreale, a large village rather more than
three miles from Palermo, and it may be said
that the insurrectionist are master of the island
sinoe its partisans are in occupation of almost
the whole of it. Palermo and Messina, whieh
are two very strong and well defended military
positions,' still hold out, But in spite of their
devotedness, the royal troops find themselves
in a very difficult position, for the island eon-
tains a population of more than two milliona of
souk, and the insurrection is wielded with
great vigor.
A fight took place on the 16th at a small
plaee called Lioppo, in which the royal troops
were completely defeated aod repulsed.
Palermo was in a state of seige, and bands
of insurgents were marching on that city.
It waS generally believed that Palermo would
be shortly evacuated.
New York., June 6,-—The xteamship City
of Baltimore, of the Liverpool, New York and
Philadelphia line, arrived at herwharf yester-
day evening. Her news was telegraphed from
Cape Race on the 2d inst, previous to the ar-
rival of the Nova Sootian at Qaeboo.
