Al!uling to the Southern Con ference scheme and the threat of secession on the part of the extreme Southern States, the Mem phis Bulletin well says that, so long as the border lava State the States that suffer exclusively (ram abolition depredations are content to re main parties to the Union, we do not see any sufficient provocation to induce the extreme Southern States to resort to so perilous a measure ; as that of secession. Do they make the ascres. I si DBS of abolitionists upon' Virginia, Maryland, Kentucky, and Missouri a pretext! If so, then let these Stale take the initiative. If they can bear their losses, or if the sentiment of Union exiih then rises above the question of some spo (ateifins of property, surely it is their aflair ex etwaivefy their.

Cornelias Wen dell wilt be put ao the stand aa th Irst witneaa. aad the investigations will rapidly ramify ever rhiladel- rics in other words, for a slave code for ill proieo tioa there Is the Demoeratieptrty South, and not the Opposition party, and this position is evinced by the resolution of their Stat and other con ventions, and by their prominent public speaker. The Kansas-Nebraska bill of Mr. Douglas In troduced the non intervention policy of " leaving to the people of the Territories to decide for them selves" th question of slavery. Then Mr. Dong- las held that the people of th Territories might, by "unfriendly legislation," exclude alavery thence, and upon that view the Democracy, South in part demanded a flare cotlc for its protection. The Opposition party South are not committed to any position on that question, beyond this : that they are opposed to this eternal tampering by Congressional enactments on the slavery question in the Territories or elsewhere, only so far as the Fugitive Slave law is concerned, and are for leav ing the whole matter wbeie the Constitution leave, it, and to let the cases, as they may arise, bejsettled by the Supreme Court, the constitution ally appointed tribunal to settle such questions. The letter of Dr. Breckinridge is an ablo and conservative letter, generally. But the' position in which the above remarks tend to put the great Opposition party South, is a grossly false posi tion, and ought to be corrected, v Mr. Douglas's Kansas Nebraska bill of 1854, repealing the Missouri Compromise, and opening new outlet for slavery agitation, when it had nearly died out under the compromise measures of 1850, was a snare to the South a Pandora' box, as Mr. Fillmore well observed, from which hss flown all onr evils. The Democracy, particularly of the South, were easily lured into it, and " wtUdbe the dupes and victims that tbey are ;" and not only so, but tbey bitterly denounced" John A. Gilmer and other Whigs and Americans (who had foresight to see, and firmness and honesty enough to warn them of their danger) as traitors to their sections, because they refused to bo gulled as 'they were,' whilst now, they are calling upon these same patriots to Help us Caasius, or we sink." If such misera ble hypocriti and demagogues were stink into the political ocean " deep as ever plummet sounded," and all the waters would forever roll over their lse and faithless carcases, the country would breathe freer, sod the ship of state would sail long without the fear of mutiny. They ought to be ashamed of their eouduct, and never ask again to take command of- a vessel, or the people ought to have wisdom enough not to trust them with the command who have run recklessly or ignorsntly among such dangerous shoals and phia, New i'ork, Connecticut, Ulna and elsewhere.

Between the people and the Doliticiaus there is a radical distinction, Politician aay the Democratic party is the 'Government, and whoeveropposes the one is inimical to the other. This most wicked, brazen, .and false assertion, heralded as it has been by the Democratic press all over tbe country, has deceived many of the ignorant and unreflecting those who neither read nor tbfnk for themselves, but depend, in all things j political, upon tbe word of those whose 'interest it is to deceive and rob tbem.
