For this Mr. Douglas says, 'I wnt to carry out what was proposed as I understood it, ?tt the repeal of the' Missouri Compromise that is, to but the question out of Congress, and leave it to'tlie Territory, and then let the people quarrel it out. It is better that a partial evil should take place there than that a general quarrel should exist in the Union. Are we, the people of the United States, of America, to be put at the tail of these little people, and to suffer the agita tjon that their petty , contest shall brng.up? That seems like rever- ' sjon. The whole question between the .branches of the Democratic party, is as to slavery in the Territories. Has there any "such mischief been done . yet is there any cause requiring in terposition? No ! Why, the United States Senate,- upon the direct ques tion, said no- there is no present evil '- f that requires remedy, butit may come.' Another flood may come, laughter, ' jdr if not, then there may come other destructidn of the earth by fire. Is it worth our while to "provide acrainst it !

The Cotton Trade. 5 The New York Shipping List of the 22d ultimo, in commenting upon the recently published r.-e ord of the cotton cropfor the year ending August 3 1st, 1800, makes the following remarks: 1 .Eight or nine States of the; Union are now engaged in cultivating the staple, and notwithstanding that for the twelve months under review the crop7was the greatest on record, we nave tue most satiraetory eviaenee that' the demand and consumption at IiOmjO, is at least keeping pace with, if not exceeding the capacity for produc tion. 'A retrospective glance at the trade, back to about the period when it was first deemed to be of sufficient importance to merit an annual state ment, shows that the staple has been gradually increasing in almost geomet rical progression, and there is certainly nothing in the circurristaneeof manufac ture and consumption to-day, on cither side of the Atlantic, to discourage the belief that the increase is to continue in the same proportion for the future. Great Hrftain, the greatest manufac turing nation in the woild, is multi plying her mills and spindles, and an nually increasing her already enormous investments in that species of enter prise. Hence, last year, the Manches ter and 'Liverpool people took from us 050,180 bales more than they ever ac quired of us before. In France, like wise, the fostering care which the lea ding industrial interests of the country are receiving at the hands of the pres 4ent (jioverninent, has had the effect to give a new spur to the cotton, as well as other manulactures; and, according ly, olir tables show 138,801 bales of the raw material in excess pf the previous season. Throughout Germany and the North of Europe, the unsettled aspect of political relations, with the conse quent depression'of general trade, and the emigration of a class of population beVt adapted to the successful develop ment of a successful manufacturing system, have operated to some extent aavantageouslv, and we are not sur- prised'to note, therefore, a falling offof uuout oo,vyuoaies nom me aggregate taken'tpr consumption there in 18o8- i9 Another feature !hich will arrest at tention, is the rapid increase of the home ' consumption, a circumstance which certainly tells well for the prog ress and prosperity of American man ufactures, in the face of the sharp for eign competition, to which many of the leading branches are still supposed to be tubject.

Grand Mass Meeting in Statesville. This great outpouring of the people caiqe ofT on Tuesday last and was every way worthy of the caqse of the Union, so dear to every true patriot. The day was ushered in by the discbarge )f 33 guns at; sunrise, one for each State conifioeing the Federal Union, under the direction of Maj. T. J. Pond. The im mense confcourae assembled at the grove of the Presbyterian Church, at 1 o'clock, a large niimper of ladies gracing the scene with their prestfhee, when Hon. Z. B. Vanck, of Asheville, .was introduced from the stand and delivered pne of the most forcible speeches upon-existing parties, the present deplorable onditionof the country, and the objects of the Seceslionista to dissolve the Union, which it has yetj been our privilege to hear. Mr. Vance spoke for three hours and five minutes and was heard with rapt attention, with re peated cKeering, ly those present. We will attempt to give no report of Mr. Vance'i able and - comprehensive address, which was de livered wth great power and eloquence, such as he is master of, and which must have car ried conviction to the heart of every listener, persuading all toeuetain the Union which has conferred so many blessings by voting for Bell fend Everett.

Dick, Esqr., Douglas,, ami Mr. Clements, Breckinridge Electors, .made speeches te a large throng, chiefly Bjell men, at the Court-House, in this place. Mr. Dick opened the debate and Mr, Clementsfrepliedl We had but a few moments to devote to hearing the gentlemen. Mr. Dick is an elo quent debater, and we leftrn from his friends that he made a capital, speech in defence of Judge Douglas and presented his claims in a strong liht for the-Presidency. Mr. Clements, it is said by his friends, did the same for Mr. Breckinridge. It is reported that both gen tlemen Handled each other'e party with gloves off buf which got the best of the fight we do not fknow rather think, however, that Mr. Dick bore off the laurel. Mr. Douglas, doubtless, has many sympa thizers 'among the Union-loving men of Ire dell, on account of his recently expressed strong TJibion sentiments, who cannot vote for him in this election because Mr. Bell, their first choiqe, is in the field and him they pre fer at thisi crisis to all others.

The Bell and Everett Club of Statesville on Monday night last raised a Union Pole in the centre of the Public Square, reaching an altituiie of near one hundred feet, from th apex of which floats the Flag of the Union representing all the States. The pole was ob tained and brought to town by j. C. Barkly, Esq., ones of the staunchest Bell and Everett men in Iredell. Why Toombs Oppose Bell, j i lie iNatipnal American says: it is re ported that in one or more of his spcechef in favor of the Disunion candidates for Presi dent and Vice-President of the United States Senator iToombs was particularly bitter a gainst Mr. Bell. We did not at the time un derstand' it,, and could not imagine why the Georgia Senator should have been so severe But the record dimlges the secret. Ia a de bate whjch involved some incident connect ed with the passage of the Kaneaa-Kebraa-ka bill, H seems that Toombs accused Mr. Bell witli being the allay of the Abolitionists, because be voted ; against that bill. Ia Lis reply M. Bell used the following scathing languagf: (.See Congressional Globe, to! 29, 1st Session, 33d Congress, page 944, May 25, 18541:) " The Ihonorahle Senator from Georgia, in the courjje of bis 'remarks yesterday, thought proper to declare that I had become the ally of the Abi'litionisU of the North.

Morehead, as expressed in a speech worthy of the cause that elicited it-Mhe Union. and hi& own well established reputation as an able speaker The call upon hirii was unexpected, but notwithstanding he hap long held him self aloof from' political diecusHons, he could not refuse the request ioC his Whig friend 4 n Iredell, a county that ever responds when Guilford calls. Mr. Morelx?ad was listened to with marked attention and excited frequent applause. A call for Hon. N. Boydea was responded to in his own peculiarly tbnoibleand indepen dent manner. Mr. Boyden, unlike many public speakers, who engage in Kliticah dis cussions, took a bold and independent stand for what he considers right, and leaves no provisos behipd which to take refuge should the people fail to'endorse his positions. He declared himself unequiv.oca.lly in favor of the UiMon, the Constitution and the Enforce ment of the Laws, in the event pf Lincoln's election, which he regarded as one of the worst curses that could Le visited upon the nation. Mr. Boyden was heartily applauded during and at the close of hU speech. The meeting proceeded tothe organization of a Bell and Everett Club, by t he election of W. P. Caldwell, President ;' Dr. H.

Vorj r Wej are beginning to b,e reminded of the approach of Winter by; the eold northerly winds and cool nights, which are now making us frequent visits, and the husbandmen are fittingiup their coal bins and making their wood hciuses and wood piles more extensive. Our very extensive cifops of corn, are now quite out of danger of tihe eaily frost, much to the satisfaction of th farmers, who have labored hard during tliej summer and now see the fruits of their industry profusely scatter ed over the broad Prairies. Our traders, have nearly or quite bought put the State of Mis souri the Railroads are daily burthened with cattleand hogsj, which are being brought . into this State to be fajttened ifor market or fed through the .winter. This' 1? indeed the Egypt of America, at pfesent. Corn isseifing for 15 to 20 cents per biisliel, and from six to ten dollars per acre, standing in the fields. The people seem to have quite forgotten everything now. except jpoli tics. The Demo crats and Republicans Jfre both striving with might and main to cafry this State. You have no idea to what extent they carry things here; it is said that they far exceed the time of log-cabins and hard eider, in 1840. The men, women and children all turn out, under their respective banner.- and mottoes and by this means they swell their gatherings to im mense numbers, so thai they :hav to com pute them by acres and miles You of the South have but little hea what enthusiasm firevails here ; all are boliticians, from the isping child to theboairy hea led veteran. It is to be hoped that the Southern States will make a "long puU, .a strong pull, and a pull all together'' for Bell and Everett, against the fanatics, Alolitionits and all other ism and cisms throughout the whole Union.

In this way Lincoln hopes to quiet the fears, ot the South, and to prevent the secession of a single State.
