I Jut while We will not doubt, indeed, c:in? not doubt the spirit, and int?-llii;eiie^ of the Northern masses, and when the time comes for them to act, will show to the world their entire capacity to deal with this particular aspect of the general question just as their own safety and well lieing demands, the question of slave expansion is not now in issu.j and the position of the. democratic paily is <o frank'v taken and plainly defined by the Cincinnati Convention that a i t : i .1 i. .. 1.1.Ill I HII illl'l KMM 11, illl'l LIKHl^U it l*><if, und.r-Und ir. It simply says, *' hands off." the federal government lias no right to meddle w'.ih this question, tlmt religion, law, currency, manufactures, commerce, banking ami agriculture, which in?:lu'les so-called slavery, shall be left to themselves; in short, that government, especially the federal government, shall not interfere with the social relations or business interests of the people. It has repealed the odious Missouri restriction, which assumed t-? discriminate against ludf the States of the ll<*publie, and to confiscate the properly ?f nearly half of the. American people, if they ventured with this property within a certain portion of the federal territory. And it say, when the people, of the territories take upon them the rights and responsibilities of sovereignty, they may have n?>?jm slavery, if they c hoose, or they may exclude "slavery." if their own l?est interests reijuirc it. This is tin; democratic position, not only , now, but always. As a political party, it riii neither be l??r or against so-called "slavery"?for cvi'pt in the two especial instance* provided lor and plainly defined in the federal Constitution, it cannot touch | the stibj.vrf. The provision for restoring runaway or coaxed ;nvay negroes, and that j dufiniu** the ratio of repr?'senta:ion, covers tlie whole ground of northern connection ! with southern negroes, and beyond these, : or be?:de these, tiiu northern people are as ] absolutely disconnected with the negroes of the South a* they aiv with those of Jir.izil or of Africa. lint the opposition claim the ritjlit, and j hold it to be a duty to suppose this lessee Jit ire policy of the democracy.

J The Treasury Department, hy a mistake j in e/tlculation, has recently overpaid to ; T ;as i. ..il holders about fifty thousand vtollars. Congress had appropriated 87,I r>00,000 lor payment of the Texas Debt, which was only sullicicnl to pay 70 cents to the dollar of the original debt. The i Department issued drafts to Hoik! holders ! for 70 cents to tho dollar, which have been : cashed. 1 >nt it appears that the State of I 1 1 t Texas lia<! already paid GO per cent, to the Bond holders, which should have come oft' ihe face of the paper, before any payment was made; and which deducted from face of paper, would leave only VO cents to the dollar to he paid, thus making a clear loss of 0 per ccnt. on the whole amount paid. TEMPERANCE CELEBRATION. To relate the incidents of this pleasure excursion, would be as unpalatable to most of our readers, as Judge O'N'eali.'s shoesole beef steak to the taste of a sober man. 15c it sulHcient, therefore, for us to say that we went to Williamston the 4th inst., upon the extra train provided for the occasion* The train of ten cars was litcrallv rammed } and jammed?lined boll) inside and out. With the thermometer ranging about 100, you can imagine the pleasure. By a stretch of the imagination, one might have fancied that lie had got into the lonmg box ?into tho smoke stack instead of the passenger car. However, the best was done that could be done for the comfort of passengers, and notwithstanding the heat, the ramming and jamming, all seemed to be determined to be merry. Wu arrived in due time, and soon at j least :),000 persons assembled around the J stand, to hear the speakers of tlie day?L. 11. Lomax, K*q., from Abbeville, liev. J. Srorr Mvukv, Rev.

CONGRESSIONAL. I Mr. Dorot.Ass' Kansas Jiill has passed | the Senate. The Uill provides for the ap! poiutment of five commissioners, to be sej lected from each section of the Union, j whose duty it shall be to take a census of I all the legal voters in Kansas, whose names shall be published and furnished to Judges of elections. The said commissioners are further to apportion the number of delegates to be selected from each county, and tlmt the delegates shall assemble and say whether or not Kansas shall come in to the Union ; and if the delegates so elected, decido in favor of bringing Kansas into the Union, then they shall proceed to form a Constitution, under which Kansas shall bo admitted as a State. The Bill passed by a vote of 40 to 3. Could this meet the approbation of tlfe House, and become a law, it would certainly, to n very great extent, alleviate tho existing troubles in Kansas. But wo cannot hopo for the sanction of that boJy to anything having even the semblance of iustir.fl to the South, touching the question of slavery. The anti-slavery party have the majority in this branch of Congress. The re-considorcd vote in the House stood, upon the preposition to admit Kansas with her Bogus Free State Topeka Constitution, 100 in favor, and 07 opposed, showing a majority to freesoilism. With the present political sentiment of the two branches of Congress, we may expect little else than a species of cross legislation upon all matters relative to our peculiar institutions. The Htfbse will veto what the Senate has spent months in accomplishing, and the Senate undo what has been done by the House.

The j Slate lias approved of his conduct, and | there tlie matter should rest, particularly at this crisis, llut now I hear of Public Dinners getting up to liunor the Colonel. P?y my troth, the honors heaped upon onr citizen will become most oppressive. It may deter others from discharging their duly. I doubt if our Representative was half as | much fatigued in giving Sumneu his tlirash! ing, as he will be in receiving the honors : heaped upon him by liis fellow-citizens?I : just now said at this particular crisis. ) We see by letters written in Kansas, that ; our boys are out of money and in a sull'cr| ing condition. Now, I am of the opinion that it would be far more gratifying to Col. ! IbtooKs, (who understands well the imnor Inncc of the Kansas question to us,) to have the money sent to tlio relief of South Carolinians in Kansas, limn to be squandered away on dinners, where we will hear a great deal about patriotism, defending our rights, and all that sort of thing. The time for talking has passed, as our gallant Representative has shown us. If we intend to defend our rights, we must act, and act promptly. The South is too meagrely represented in Kansas; and even the few that are thore, have not the means of support. Now, let every one throw in, not what he thinks he is abh>, but what he is actually able to do. Think of the importance ot' the subject. 1 tell you the investment will pay?aye, compound interest. Let. every 1 young man that can lie spared, (and there j are a goodly number that we can ppare,) I go to Kaunas wiili a fixed determination to j abide by the laws of the Territory and bej come permanent settlors. For llie first I limp, I wish I were young again. Young j men, [ assure you honors and weal ill await ! you there. Look at the efforts the North j is making to wrest Kansas from us; can't j we emulate their zeal i Men of Abbeville ] District, citizens of South Carolina, and the entire South, wake up! be alive to your interests! We have no aid?none to depend upon but ourselves. Our future d?stiny ; Jiangs 011 itic termination of tlio Kansas question. We have passively submitted to having Territory after Territory taken from us?yes, and Territory which our best blood ! was shed to win. Had no men gone from ' the South, Mexico would not have been i conquered ! This is the last struggle. The j Abolitionists know the importance of this : matter to them. I trust wo, likewise, nn! derstand its vast importance 10 us. If we ; lose Kansas, slavery will be confined to its ; present limits; it can never be extended? i nay, it will retrograde; slave territory will diminish until it will bo whittled down to an imperceptible point. I am a very poor 111.in, uwiiuig uin^ iiiu migmeni 01 n negro, but I feel the importance of African slavery to poor folks. Our young men are not engaged in waiting on tables, cleaning boots, currying horses, &c., for the rich. Our young women arc not clintnbcr maids, Ac., where they are liable to be insulted. No, thanks to our institution, our poor men are high-minded, honorable men ; our poor women are modest, virtuous women. The Northern people say that all men are equal, yet look at the vast difference there beX it 1 1*1 uvoeu iiic ricn anu ine poor: a poor miin is not allowed to go into a rich man's house not even on business; he is taken to an ante-room to await my lord's pleasure. "Would poor folks hero submit to that ? I prophesied in the .days of secession, and that prophesy is being fulfilled. I will venture a prediction again : If wo lose Kansas, (and nothing but our supineness will make us lose it, for " wo are able to possess the land,") we must either give up our institu, tion, or dissolve the Union. I choose the latter; it is to me already dissolved. I see tho Soui/utrn Patriot (misnamed) has opened its battery ncrainst the South sending emigrants .to Kansas. It has discharged two guns.., Slwll that paper coutrol South Carolina ? Forbid it, Heaven ! I will tell you a good rule to bo guided by: If you aro over in doubt about the propriety of any matter regarding the interest ol the South, just 6nd out which side the Patriot advocates, and do you take tho other; you will be sure to be .right.

In the department of music, the writer has no criterion by which to judge, except the emotions of pleasure and delight he experienced during the performance of Prof. UoTitsciiiM) on the Violin and Miss .Iovkj? on the J'iauo ; and if these he a proper standard of judgment, he knows no language adequate to express his conceptions of its excellence.

Dear Friend Davis :?I have intended to givo j'ou a description of tlio " Border IIuIGhu," a class of men made famous by the importance of the events in which they arc engaged. There being at present, nothing of novelty or interest to write about, except perhaps a few trite cases of murder, robbery and violence, T will devote a portion of this letter to the more pleasant task of drawing a picture of such of the specie of Border Kuflian as oniric under my observation in the late "war." Now it is proper to make a distinction between all who are termed Border Radians by our Abolition christeners, (including the whole pro-slavery party in the Territory, who arc, by-tho-by, proud of the tifle,) and the bona fide original. Of tho former class, there were at Lawrence, on the memorable 21st ult., about five hundred, although the Tribune reports Itoclre hundred Missourians. I do not think there were over seventy-five Bur<h-r liuflians who answered in any wise to (lie following portrait: Imagine a fine looking man, with heavy lntni'il ??!<! mAiicf'iflin fi*lf lint r/?/l 1 * (no coat,) Miic pants, heavy boots drawn over the pjiius, iinmon.se Spanish spurs, a pair of water-proof scabbards, each containing a large " navy repeater," a Sharp's rifle slung over one shoulder, and a large bowie-knife stuck into the right boot or swinging to the same belt with the repeaters, charging down upon you across the prairie on a fine bay, or a large Kentucky mule. As lie comes nearer, you see that lie is completely prepared for a long march, rapid movements, and %t solitary entertainment" on the prairie, lie rides a deep Spanish tree, which, without appearing cumbered, is yot rigged with (lie greatest variety of articles. His horse-hair larraetto, with an iron picket at one etui, hangs from tlio high pummel. A portc-iuanteaii or a pair of saddlebags contains a change of linen, an extra red shirt, (in case of rain,) and two or three days rations of bread, dried beef, ham, ground colfee, and sugar. I A pair of blankets, and a military cloak, with cape and sleeves, are tied on behind. A pair of pouches at the pummel, contain a flask or two of whisky (also in cusc of mi it) and some other extras. A canteen slung j over the shoulder contains water, and a neat I leather box fastened to the belt is full of | cartridges and caps. Besides all this, there ' is generally a number of leather thongs, | fastened to lings in various parts of the saddle, to which hang a tin cup, a small eollee-pot, snmtimcs a frying-pan, a hatchet, ?tc., <fcc. Thus caparisoned he can move I with case and celerity, and like the brave | knights of old, is ever ready for light or | fun, and is equally at home in ramp, in a I splatter's shanty, or on the lom-ly prairie. , Most, of tIn?<?*. with wh'?m*I hail an oppor| limit \ to become intimate, had crossed the | plains, to Santa i*e, or Salt Lake, orCaliforj nia, several times, and were in consequence, I I lie hest ox drivers, the best cooks, and the most hardy soldiers that I ever saw.? Rough in their manners, but generous as sailors, and sharp as travelers, they are always welcome, and always manage lo win the hearts of their fellows. They are from the border counties of Missouri, where they leave their families and come to the Territory occasionally to hold their claims, pay j their taxes, vote legally, ami, if necessnry, i C.rl.t ..f i , ..-..I. iiax'ok VI UICIII lliicmi IllUVill'' IIIIO I O o tikis Territory as soon as it is made a slave State. Such are the men about whom the whole negro-stealing pack arc raising their howl. Ami where they ..ro not known* doubtless much capital can he made on the assertion of their forcible intervention in the affairs of the Territory, <kc.? lint 1 am assured in what I assert, that more Free-Soilera' votes than Border lluffians, were polled here at the last election on the pro-slavery ticket. IIow it happened can bo readily accounted for. The true position of the border Missourians, in fact, is to look on calmly, and without interference, at the operations of the ballot-box, confident as they are of the success of our . I * <!.?? ...1 1-1 A * - ? t 1 jjairtj y uut inni *>nun uiuws must ue siriiCK, fo be ready to sustain us with their arms. That position they do mnint'iin with the advice of their leaders. Ail who are engaged in this struggle in the Territory, net upon the same principle of maintaining the legality of the party. In truth, why need wo go beyond the law when we are so amply protected and so completely successful under the law ? It is a misconception that has prevailed to a considerable extent at the South, that North and South occupy equal ground, morally speaking, in this Territory. So far, from that being the case, the Abolition party denounces all claim to having observed the laws, and a large body of Free-Soilers in consequence, tnke sides with the " Law and-Order-Party"?the true pro-6lavory paity. Why then, aro wo to submit to tho recrimination of those of our Southern brethren who term us Fillibuntorn, and sanctimoniously shake our kins from their holy garment*, whilst a Northern President, a Northern Governor, and a large Northern vote sustain us ? Arrestsare being made daily of those offen ders who resisted Sheriff Jones in April, as well as tho more recent criminals. Nine of the men who murdered those five at 0* ftfiwottnnne, in cold blood, were passed through this place yesterday, and are now at Tecumseh landing their trial.

Tlio young Indies who , took part in this Dialogue, entered into the ; spirit of it, and so acted their parts as not i only to impress the lookers-on with what: was meant, but so as to add great iy lo the interest of the occasion. ; The company then repaired to a bounti- j ful repast, prepared by the citizens nf tin* j neighborhood, which enjoyed, nil were ;i^:iin j summoned to the school room by another | charining pi we nf iiiumc, sung us before,! when the exercises were resumed and cor- 1 tinned till half past .1, "hi the higher branch* j es, givinuf entire satisfaction to all present,; and demonstrating both tlx- skill and faithfulness of the teacher, Miss Putnam, ami ! the industry and success of her scholars.? j At this hour, II.

But to pass over this examination, Mr. i Editor, thus hurriedly, would do both the ! school and (lie teacher injustice. To sot forth the truth fully, according to tlie facts exhibited, requires the impartial narrator to say something more thmi that the le: :c!ier and her scholars did well. There was evidence of something higher nn?l better in J this examination tlian is usually seen on | such occasions. There was an accuracy, j coupled with a dispatch, in the black-board j exercises, surpassing anything of the kind j the writer had ever seen ; and the same j may be said, in some degree, of the pcrj formnnce in every other department. Ex animations are not unfrecpicully monoio- j nous?more the occasion of lassitude than interest to tlie spectators. There was nothing of that here. On the contrary, theio was a novelty and a variety hero, ami a zeal and a cheerfulness on the part of the whole school, from the youngest to the oldest, which, added to their thorough training in the elementary branches, imparted and kept up, throughout, an unusual interest in all present. Now, Mr. Editor, if you will hut recollect that the thermometer that day wns at about 100, you will have some idea of what is meant when we say the above about this examination, and yet notlnng is said unauthorized by the facts. Hut after all, it is imnnccililn ritif ??nAn #!?-* nnni'An ..J...,.,... of the writer of the skill, competency and faithfulness of Miss Putnam ns a teacher, and of the peculiarly good fortune of that intelligent community iu having such an 0110 to whom to entrust tho education of their children?especial I}' their daughtersThis Academy is situated near the residence of M.

Arrival nf Mr. Fillmore.?It is no more than justice to say that the reception which Mr Fillmore met yesterday from hi* friends was hearty and devoted. The signs ot the times greatly niisle id us if the Presidential election is not to be prinripally narrowed doton to a contest between Mr. BucIihiihii j and Mr. Fillmore. The more the qualif> ] fulinhu \fr_ lira (liuniiadii/l mora meagre they will appear, ami the 1 country will hoo that the election of Fie J mont will l>e simply the raising to power , such agitator* hr Suward, Wilson, Sumner, I Greeley, Theodore Park< r, Diecher, and 1 other abolitionist*. Ah this fact is ddvulop- ' ed in the canvas all partle*, except, perhaps, an insignificant minority, trill concentrate j upon Mr. liuuhanan and Mr. Fillmore. We I think the democracy, therefore, in fighting Mr. Fremont, who, in endeavoring to tide 1 both the Know-Nothing and black republi | can horses will surely miss them both, may make a mistake. Mr. Fillmore is ovideutly 1 the one to look after. i ^ ^i Marine Disasters.?The New York Cou ( rier contains a record of vessels reported to i have been lost or damaged during the last i balf year, from January 1st to July 1st; from which it appears that the amount of lost, total and partial, within tbe peridd rtatriA<l ! nanstif aiwtaAn M?illk<vMa a# . niMVU) so Iionnj nimvwi iHllilVlfW UB ?IUUHr8?
