WEST JURIST DEMOOEAT, CHAELOTTE," TSJ7 "C. From the Richmond Enquirer. WAS THE VICE-PRESIDENTIAL NOM INATION ON THE DOUGLAS TICK ET TENDERED TO W1I. L. YANCEY? Wp have received a larzc number ot letters irom l liuixjas crully. We trust that the toilowing cxpiauauun 1 ' will answer every purpose. A member of the Virginia delegation to Charles ton ami Haltimorc paid a vi.it to Mr. Yancey, at Washington, just previous to the assemblage of the i;Utiuiore Convention. At the same time, Mr. Yancey also received a visit from a very influential member of the Xew York delegation, a distinguish ed and ardent supporter and intimate confidant of Mr. Douglas. The New Yorker commenced an unreserved conversation with Mr. Yancey, in the presence and hearing of a Virginia delegate, by stating that the best means to unite the Democratic party and in sure its success, would be to couple the names of Messrs. Douglas and Yancey on the Democratic ticket. He assured Mr. Yancey that this could be effected at once, if Mr. Yancey would but con sent to take the Vice-Presidential nomination, to be coupled with Mr. cation for the i Presidency. With o (juiet smile, and his usual bland manner, Mr. Yancey promptly replied that the arrange ment was one to which be could, under no circum stances, consent ; that 'oil and water would not .mix. 'The New Yorker then remonstrated; reminded "Sir. Yancey that politicians were frequently oblig ed to resort to such expedients; and assured him that the arrangement proposed, if adopted, would secure not only Mr. Yancey's personal promotion, but the ultimate ascendancy ot Mr. Yancey's po litical views and governmental policy ; that Mr. Douglas was already so enfeebled by disease that he could scarcely live six months after the Presi dential election, and thus Mr. Yancey's candidacy would be sure to make him not only Vice Presi dent, but, very soon, President of the United States. To all such persuasions Mr. Yancey replied with the same polite and decided refusal to permit his name to be used on a ticket headed by that of Mr. Douglas. We are informed of the name of the New York delegate, and the information above repeated was funiithcd us long since by the Virginia delegate who was present during the conversation. We have lieid communication with neither on the sub ject of any publication. The communication was made to us without any seal of confidence, express ed or implied, and we consider that the hypocritical pretence exhibited by Mr. Douglas and his follow ers, of horror at the idea of political association with Wm. L. Yancey, not only justifies, but im peratively demands this publication. Still, we prefer not to publish the name of eith er the New York or Virginia Jeleiratc without ex press authorization. The delegate from Virginia is known in and out of the State as a man whose distinguished charac ter for truth, courage and a delicate sense of honor is incapable of impeachment from any quarter. We know, too, that he will shrink from no just re sponsibility ; and if he thall abstain from publish ing the name of the Ne w Yorker, he will only be restrained by motives of extreme delicacy. We also know the New York delegate to be the intimate and confidential personal and jolitical friend of Mr. Douglas. Nor is this all. We are firmly convinced, from our ow n knowledge of things, that after the nomi nation of Mr. Douglas at Baltimore, an intimation of willingness on the part of Mr. Yancey to accept would undoubtedly have secured him the Vice Presidential nomination on the same ticket. We were approached by man after man, in the Front Street Convention, all of them expressing the same desire to secure Southern support for the ticket, by means of the Vice-Presidential nomina tion ot some man of the most ultra Southern politi cal views, and all were extremely perplexed by the difficulty of selecting such a man whose acceptance oould be regarded even as probable. So universal was the sentiment, that tho South ern men left in the Convention were not only per mitted by all but requested to consult apart, as they did, to dictate, as they did, the name to be put in nomination for the Vice-Presidency. The name ol Bcnj. Fitzpatrick was finally agreed on by the Southern delegates, was proposed by them to the Convention, and accepted by acclamation, al though, a short time before, he had voted for the Davis resolutions, and although it was known that he was uncommitted to accept the nomination, and might refuse, as he did refuse afterwards, to per mit the use of his name Under all these circumstances, can any reason able man pretend that an assurance from' Wm. h. Yancey, given at the last moment, even, of a wil lingness to accept it, could possibly have failed to secure for him the Vice-Presidential nomination on the Douglas ticket? The Douglas men have uo right to assail Mr Yancey now. The Excitement at Cueraw. For several days past (says the Wadesboro Argus) we have had rumors of various kinds from Cheraw and Benncttsville in relation to the capture of abolition emissaries and their summary treatment by the people. Tho following letter from our correspon dent at Cheraw gives the fullest particulars we have yet had: Cheraw, S. C, Oct. 15, 1800. "We have some excitement here, owing to the arrest of a man named J. K. Hitchings and his son, on last Wednesday, at Clio, Marlboro' dis trict. They had been rather too intimate with the negroes, which led to their arrest by the Vigilance Committee at Clio, w ho turned them over to the Committee at liennettsville. Upon the elder Hitch ings was found an invoice from Hartford, Conn., for one box of rifles, muskets, pistols, ammunition, &c, which box the Committee at Cheraw kept a sharp lookont for. On Saturday last a box arriv ed on the cars, marked "J. K. Hitchings, Floral College, N. C, per Adams & Co s Express." The Committee here took possession of it, opened it, when the articles mentioned in the invoice were found in it. I have no doubt, by the time you re ceive this old Hitchings and his son will be exe cuted, as to-day is the time appointed for them to be hung by the igilance Committee 1 he box and its contents are now uepositeu in i .... tho lt,r,t 4 t - . t ...... .. .. d at Pekin.

Mr Lander was greeted on the stand with great applause, and in one of his most caustic and with ering replies proceeded to expose the weakness and insincerity of the Bell and Everett party. He earnestly depicted the crisis of the country and deprecated the use of ridicule or comedy at such a time as this, when men should be looking for safety to their firesides. Mr Dell's inconsistency on the Nebraska bill and his anti-Southern record were exposed, and the tubterfuga on which he re lied as a platform was held up in contempt to his audience. Mr Vance in Ins speech had eulogized Jackson and commended his course in the days of nullifi cation, and interrogated Mr Lander as to his course if Lmcun was elected. Mr Lander replied to his remarks, and told his fellatf democrats to beware of whigs praising dead democrat.; it was a part of thier scheme to deceive them. He then answered Mr Vance's question, and stated that he did not think Lincoln's elec tion of itself was cause for secession, but it was impassible to judge of the consequences which might surround that event, and that he held him self ready to cast his lot with North Carolina, whatever it might be. Mr Vance "caught a Tar tar" this time, and it would be better policy for his party not to risk him down here any more. On Saturday, Mr Myers by permission of the Court addressed the people in the Court House, and W. W. Avery, not being allowed this privi lege, replied in the grove near by. Mr Myers gave us squatter sovereignty with the same nasal-twang which Douglas has taught all his followers; swore positively for he said so that it was in the Cincinnati platform, and Ne braska bill, and after one hour and a half's argu ment to prove this great doctrine of squatter sove reignty right, he suddenly announced that as to himself individually he didn't believe a word of it he believed it unconstitutional. He improved on Vance's disunion picture, and said he would reluctantly aid in coercing South Carolina. The whigs smiled very pleasingly at this announcement. Mr Avery arose with feeling, and called on the democrats to study well the spectacle. Our coun try on the brink of ruin, and while enemies were on every side, a faction of hostile foes were preying on us in our midst We had heard threats from them as insulting as those of the North; but like Hainan, they ought first ascend their own scaffold. He said he would not take office under Lincoln, as Mr Myers would, or aid him to coerce a sister State; that "sooner than live off the crumbs of Abe Lincoln's table he would rather beg his bread from door to door;" that no chains could drag the moun tain boys to conflict with Southern brethren. Mr Avery then made the most masterly, legal and political vindication of the Breckinridge plat form 1 have' yet listened to. He was cogent in his reasoning, impressive in his manner and elo quent in his appeals to his hearers. Mr Avery wou to himself the hearts of the people and they listened with breathless attention to his words the words of a Southron, of a patriot, and a states man. "CATAWBA." fur the Western Democrat. DEMOCRATIC MEETING AT CLEAR CREEK. Mr Editor: In accordance with a previous no tice, the Democracy of this section met at John M. Flow's on Satuiday loth. Notwithstanding the unfavorable appearnce of the morning, the Democ racy of this county and a good delegation from Union and Cabarrus came pouring in, till the crowd was swelled to an unusually large number of the most intelligent and respectable citizens, a small sprinkling of Bell men and one stray drop of Douglas. About 11 o'clock, a boautiful hick ory pole, 72 feet high, was raised, capped with our emblem of resistance to oppression a large Hor nets' Nest, and bearing aloft a very handsome flag, inscribed with the names "Breckinridge and Lane," and the words "Constitution in the spirit of 1775." The meeting was called to order by appointing our venerable old citizen Capt. Adam Harrison, President of the day, and Wni. Mc Combs .and Isaac Hilton, Esqs, Vice-Presidents. The President then introduced D. B. Ilea, Esq, of your town, who gave us a warm soul-stirring speech of about an hour and a half. He alluded in the outset in glowing terms to the first origina tors of our liberties, one of whom was born and died on this spot Adam Alexander. That the princi ple they had established had always been the poli cy of the Democratic party run the line of histo ry between that party and the old Whig Party that her policy was the settled policy of the coun try, and under its rule we had prospered in a de gree unparalleled to any nation on earth. He then gave the rise and progress of the Democratic party, whose principles now and always have been "the equality o4hf States," the principle that was con tended for and established by the very originators of our liberties; showed that the "squatter sovereign ty" principle would destroy the equality of the States, and showed conclusively the entire consis tency of the Democratic party proper. He point ed out the inconsistencies of Mr. Bell's course showed up the element of which the Convention was composed that nominated him. Then held up Lincoln's doctrines in its treasonable hideousness its onward course of aggressive oppression, which if not checked now, judging by its past progress, would end in consequences disastrous to the insti tutions of the South, and uryed the election of Breckinridge and Lane to defeat that purpose, and concluded by paying a handsome tribute to their services in the Councils of the Nation, and in de-' fense of their Country, who had been trusted and tried with the interests of their couutry, both in I peace and war i The President then introduced Cyrus Q. Lem- i mAn.l l,'o.. fl'.:.,. .!.,, : 11 l- i in a speech of nearly two hours length, full of ar- I guiuent and eloquence urging the claims of i Breckinridge and Lao5 that the prevalence and I :.:.... - - ...wumng oi meir pn inciples alone could give security and eafety to the Union.

And any other view of the doctrbe of non-intervention was nothing more nor less than" "ft . i x :: ine oppression 01 a lyrauuus uiajuiiij- and con- ful necessity of ever calling into exercise this last remedy. Jugding from the numerous interrup tions of applause of both speakers their senti ments will be eudorsed on the Gth of November next JOHN BELL. It appears that Mr Bell has been fickle in his politics, capricious in his personal attachments, i I ..ii- :iL o ii i impracticable in co-operaung witu oouioeru col leagues and national Congressmen, and valuable only to our enemies by his infirm purposes and mis taken views. He ha? been anti-Bank and Bank. lie has been anti-Tariff and Tariff. He has been against all the Whig doctrines and for them all. He has been "a Democrat, Whig, and a Know Nothing advocate. He has been Jackson's warm eulogist and Jack son's fierce assailant. - He has been Clay's maligner, then Clay's friend, then Clay's opponent. He has voted and acted against the Southern and national men on most of the issues which have arisen between them and the abolitionists; so that even when his premises have been sound, his con clusions and conduct have been wrong. Is he the man for President? Wkeelivy Union. AN OLD GAME. The game of panic, especially bank panic, or. the eve of a presidential election, is so uniformly prac ticed, that everybody expects it just as certainly as they do other symptoms of our four-yearly excite ment. The Raleigh Register, the leading organ of-the Bell and Everett party in this State, gravely in forms us that the Bank of North Carolina has de termined to stop discounting and all that sort of thing, and then goes on to argue as a remedy for bank contraction that we all should vote for Bell and Everett. Now we recollect some few presidential elec tions, and the editor of the Register recollects some few more. WTe never saw a presidential election pass without this same sort of talk, and perhaps action on the part of the banks. They arc sure to be about to suspend their usual discounts. Why it is as natural as flowers in May, or dead leaves in autumn. The people are used to that talk, and will not be influenced by it one iota. We presume our monied institutions will go on as usual, consulting prudence and paying respect to the usual indications that influence sensible men in other avocations. But this accustomed cry com ing from some political panic maker, will go for what it is worth. It was found out twenty years ago, and more perhaps. It's a humbug. The laws of trade will vindicate themselves with out respect to politico-financial panics or panic makers. They always have done so. 117. Jour. LATER FROM EUROPE. Since our last there have been two or three a; rivals from Europe. It is reported that Garibaldi had obtained a vic tory along his whole line. He had taken two thousand prisoners and invited Victor Emanuel to assume the government. The Pope calls upon the Catholic powers for assistance. Note. We sup pose this victory was obtained at Capua where the Neapolitan troops had made a stand and repulsed the (laribaldians. The government of Naples is that which Victor Emanuel is invited to assume. Cotton is buoyant, and all qualities have slight ly advanced; middling and lower qualities improv ed most. Sales for the week 111,000 bales. . .. Cuoi's of Eastern Carolina. A late Spring threw the cotton crop of this and neighboring counties back a little in the start this year, and the indications now arc that the crop of this season will be rather light hardly an average. The boll worm has quite materially affected the staple in some sections and there are some backward bolls upon the stalks now which will not have time to mature. From what we have been able to learn by travel and otherwise the com crop of the extreme East ern counties promises reasonably fair. Though the crop was somewhat injured by the drought, the later crop will turn out well. Etlyecombe Farm Journal. How They Aurf.e! Dr. Keen, the Douglas elector in the sixth District, addressed the people at Kernersville, on Tuesday, the 2d inst.., and we have the authority of tho Western Sentinel for saying, "he endorsed fully the squatter sovereignty doctrine of Judge Douglas." On the same day, Duncan K. McRae, Esq., one of the Douglas electors, for the State at large, ad dressed the people at Goldsboro, and openly, bold ly and "fully" repudiated "the squatter sovereign ty doctrine of Judge Douglas" stating emphati cally that he differed from Judge Douglas in that particular. How they agree! GUJsbfjro Rough Voe. - Wild-cat. We saw at the store of E. L.

The skin looked as if it had belonged to an ancient and formidable ani mal. It was very grey on the back, so much so that the usual marks and spots had disappeared. The animal, before being skinned, measured three feet irom the tip of the tail to the tip of the ears, and five inches around the fore leg. and the claw, when spread, was as large as a two-year old child's hand.

W!l. Jour. TnE PROSPECT. .r' ;: Augusta, Ga , Oct. 12, 1800. I .M,Essns!EDlT6RS:---HiaTft just returned here irom a trip tnrougti several of our Southern States and have had. some opportunity of informing iny- self as regards the political feelings and ' opinion, of the people in the sections through which I trav ersed. In the northern portion of Louisiana I found the Breckinridge men mustered strong, and were in fine spirits. 1 found but few Bell men and but two or three Douglas men in that section; they say that Bell will obtain a good majority in the city of New Orleans, but after he leaves the city and coun ty in which New Orleans is situated, his majority will grow beautifully le as--Breckinridge Will oat vote him everywhere else. The friends of Breckin ridge and Lane are confident and certain of Louisi ana. In Mississippi I found the contest already begun and politics occupying the most prominent portion of one's thoughts Mass meetings were being held throughout the State, and every thing gave token that a vigilant eye was abroad in this campaign. I found Bell men and a few Douglas men, but the majority with whom I conversed and came in. con tact with were ardent Breckinridge men,- and I have not the least doubt that . in November , next the couutry will see that Mississippi is an impreg nable constitutional Democratic State. We took the vote on the Central (Miss.) Railroad cars twice and the following was the results, viz Breckin ridge 44; Bell 23; Douglas 4; Lincoln 1. Again-r-Breckinridge 37; Bell 22, Douglas; 5; Lincoln , So much for patriotic Mississippi.' In Tennessee I found in the Eastern Congress ional District that Douglas has some strength; in the ceutral and Western portions, however, he is weak, and the contest is between Breckinridge and BelL The various political organizations . arc doing: their utmost to advance the different causes which they have espoused. The - Breckinridge men 1 found in good spirits, and many of them told me they had valid reasons to be so. ' -' Alabama is beyond doubt. The eloquent Yan cey, though beleaguered and denounced by his op ponents, is still gaining many prominent converts to Breckinridge and Lane and victory" there is sure. , ' In Georgia I found the; political fires burning brightly. Mass meetings and barbecues are being held everywhere, and Breckinridge will 'be sure to triumph signally over all opposition. I attend ed a barbecue at Marietta, Ga., on last Thursday, at which the yeomen of that section had assembled to the u umber"' of about seven thousand. . The meeting was ably and eloquently addressed by Hon. Howell Cobb aBd by Dr. V. II. Miller, who is called in that section .the Demosthenes of the mountains. Dr. Miller in the Fillmore campaign was an able supporter of Mr Fillmore, and did much to sustain his sinking cause in that section, but he deems it patriotism to sink party, lines and work and vote for the only man who can contend against Lincoln with any reasonable chance of suc cess. To give you an idea of the extent of the barbecue, I will state that they served up 6,000 lbs. of beef, 10 bbls. flour, 15 bushels of meal, be sides other edibles to a considerable extent. Georgia enrolls herself for Breckinridge and Lane by a large majority. Correspondence of the Wil mington Journal. m . MR. YANCEY IN NEW YORK. Hon. Wm. L. Yancey of Alabama, spoke at the Cooper Institute, New York, on Wednesday night, to an overflowing audience. The anxiety among the people seemed to be quite as great to see the speaker as to hear him, and after the conclusion of his address, it was with difficulty he could force his way out of the hall. He concluded his speech with answering some questions which had been put to him, as follows: He had bn asked to answer a few questions, and he thought that he might as well do it at this time. The first was, whether he would consider the election of Lincoln sufficient cause for the se cession of the South; and second, whether he, in case Lincoln was elected, and the South attempted to secede, would support the government in sup pressing the attempt, and aid to maintain the in tegrity of the Union? The first question was a mere speculation, and a political speculation at that. He was now endeavoring to avert the very thing here spoken of the awful catastrophe of the election of Lincoln. He was showing his allegiance to the Constitution by abandoning his own private business, and going to all parts of the country to endeavor to prevent that election, and if others would labor as faithfully as he has for this end, Lincoln would never be President. Ap plause. What was propounded in the question was a matter to come after the decision of the bal lot box. Cries of "Question!" Don't be impa tient, gentlemen, and above all keep your tempers. This is not the time to fight now, certain. Laugh ter. It was the time to vote. Another interrup tion, and cries of "Put him out." You're impa tient, my friends, said Mr Yancey. If gentlemen, he continued, were so anxious to know his opinion, they should abide by them when he gave them. Applause. This questiou was a mere speculation. It was asking whether something would occur if another should happen. He was no candidate for the Presidency, and his views had nothing to do with the contest. In the first place, there was no such thing as the South seceding. There was such a thing as a State receding. He could see how a State could secede, and he had no answer to give with regard to the seceding of the South. He was a State's Rights man. The Constitution told them that all the rights not delegated to the Gene ral Government were reserved to the States. He believed in the right of secession. The original compact was made between the States willingly as senting to it, and either, by her own will, might withdraw. But this was mere speculation, predi cated upon a contingency. Alabama had passed a law requiring its Government to consider this question if a Black Republican was elected. II is Mate was to decide this question, not he. . If she went out of the Union, he went with her. plau.se If she remained in, he'd remain "Good." It was a grave matter, and he fAp- in. hoped that some man opposed to the irrepressible conflict would be elected President. But when the time came to decide it, he would consult with the men in Alabama and act with them, and they of New York had nothing to do with it. In this Presiden tial question, on the contrary, he had something in common with them.' For him here to commit himself on this question, with the future unde veloped, merely to gratify some political antagon ist, would be the wildest folly. The answer to the question, he would give to his State when she asked it. "Three cheers for the answer" were j proposed and given. j To the second question he replied that he would ! aid in maintaining the integrity of tho Union with his life's blood. He was laboring now for it. But if it was meant to ask whether he would aid in the preservation of an' Administration that was trampling on the rights of the South, he replied that he would aid any State in resisting it with his blood. Revolution was justifiable before the j last expiring throes of oppressed nationalities. ' THE RECENT INDICATIONS IN -THE ;t ' nortH.3 i ?ti- -' The recent elections in the-North indicate, the now unquestionable development of three fact, to which we have hitherto frequently called; " the at tention of our readers: "T 1st. That the Bell and Everett organization at the North is scarcely more than a corporal's guard. 2d. That the portion of the Douglas party which is under the special management and control of Mr Douglas and his favorite captains, is really lending intentional and efficient aid to the Black Republican cause. 3d. Consequently, the entire brunt of the battle at the North is divided between the supporters of i Breckinridge and Lane and those of Mr Douglas' supporters wno are Kepi in ignorance oi, anu are too patriotic to be made subservient to, the real purposes of their leader." : ' " There can be no .doubt about the. fact that the Bell and Everett party command a larger propor tional strength io the city of - PhOadelphia, than in any other town or county throughout the North ern States. Yet in all the late local elections of Philadelphia, the returns show that out of an en tire vote of more than 80,000, the highest vote ob tained by any Bell-Everett candidate is only 5,558. Further comment, then, ou this topic, is altogeth er unnecessary.

IT IS A COMMON OBSERVATION that there are more sufferers from debility, among the Americans, than can be found among any other civilized nation. The reason is ob vious.
