The Union, again, comments upon Judge Douglas, contending that he repudiates that Portion of the decision im the Dred Scott case which overthrows “ squatteF sovereignty.” Farther, the Uneon makes sundry suggestions to the Intelligencer. The Intelligencer devotes @ couple of col- ‘umne of comments, to the “ plan ot disunion,”’ given in a recent expose of the Hon. Wm. L. Yancey, of Alabama. St Taial oF Steam Fire Exoixes.—The first Prize for steam fire engines, determined by the recent trials in Boston, has been awarded to the Philadelphia, and the second best to the Law- rence, and the third best to Elisha Smith’s ma- uDa.—By the brig Lady Chapman, arrived at New York, we have Bermuda dates of the 17th ult.

At Gibralter the senior officer in command of the British naval forces at that point extended marked courtesies, and urged ex-President and Mrs. Pierce to take je for Tangiers in one of her Majesty’s pub: armed vessels. At Mar- seilles the French authorities, headed by the Prefect and miljtary commander, were especially attentive and zealous in acts of bospitality.”’ ‘The Second Burning of Quarantine. {From N. Y. Exchanges of Friday.] All the Quarantine buildings left standing by the mob on Wednesday night, were last night burned to the ground ; and the mob met with no resistance whatever. Threats were openly made yesterday that the remaining buildings would be burned, but everybody supposed the presence of an adequate pqlice would prevent it About dusk last evening a meeting of about two hundred persons was held at Nautilus Hall. Mr. Ray Tompkins presided. A motion that a committee be appointed to de- Vise a suitable celebration of the destruction of Quarantine was adopted. Mr. Joba C. Thompson then read the following resolutions, which were enthusiastically adopt- ed: Whereas, all governments are founded on the ‘wants and created for the protection of the lives and property of the citizens of said government ; aod Sees ee ees of all good to provide each and vernments the equal taxation of its citizens; that man, and ajl communities should share alike the toils and burdens as well as the good advantages of a good government; aod Whereas the people of this county have lo and patiently borne the burdens not only of thelt own community, but have also to bear the bur- dens of har! all the pestilential diseases of the world, wh: have concentrated at the port of New York for over half a century, and which have been annually spread broadcast at our very doors, thereby bringing death and desolation —aESs and w we hav? repeatedly importuned and beseechingly prayed for legislative aid without geri any relief, or even the shadow of a hope that uarte: ; therefore Resolved, That this meeting tender their sin- cere thanks to the Castleton Board of Health for authorizing the citizens of thix county to avate the nuisance without delay Resolved, That we fully believe that they that will not beip themselves shall have help from mobody.

Resorved, That each and every one of us will contribute Iierally towards the expense of erect- ing suitable buildings there, that New York city may store her ential importations on her @ vn premises. Daring the reading of the resolutions thecrowd expressed their Ssfaction by repeated cheers such as “ Let's finish up lest «Let's adjourn across the way,” c. The crowd, on motion, “adjourned to the other side of the street." About nine o'clock the steam- boat bell rung, and ibe crowd im: the street. Foraging parties procured supplies of straw, camphene, sbaving», turpentine, and tar, and then a few little torches twinkled in the upper part of the street leading from the ferry, and it Was soon found that the furniture bad been re. moved from the six cottages of the Health Of- ficer’s boatmen, the piles of furniture bein; warded by women, who stated that they had advised that it was the intention of the citi- zens to jiluminate their dwellings. y few persons began to enter the cottages wi torches. Soon a light fiame came curling up from the first floor of the lowest one, and after half an bour’s coaxing the collage was on fire— the flames bursting ont of the windows, and Licking ever the eaves. The other cottages were theo fired in succession. Dr. Walser's ouse, & fine three-story frame building, was fired in like manner. The furniture bad been removed during da) Below this house again was the fine residence of Dr. Bissell, the resident physician, a hand- some, three-story brick. This, the mob said, must be saved,’’ whereupon it was sacked like the others, and was soon in a blaze The old doctor, with sturdy independence, refused to take out his faraiture, preferring to sacrifice all rather than compromise his dignity. When these fires began, the alarm bell of the Village was rung and the engines were brought out. The firemen, however, did nothing but look on, while the foreman bellowed orders that were not to be obeyed. The incendiaries were led by Mr. Ray To Kios in his freman’s uniform, and Tom Garrett. The peo; le looked on in quiet nen in was believe that a force of twenty-five f- mined men could have subdued the mob. ‘The patients in the fine old bospital were next taken out, and that building was fired and burn- eddown.

Few, indeed, of those Southern journals known as being in full communion with the Southern Democratic organization take any such posi- tion. The only two of them in whose columns we have seen a hope of the re-election of Sena- tor Douglas expressed, are the South Side Democrat, published at Petersburg, Va., and the Frée Trader, published. at Natchez, Miss. Their sympathy with his cause is clearly the result of @ lack of due information, and is, moreover, hypothetically expressed. They say, 2f Senator Douglas is not doing this or that, then they desire his election over Lincoln. It so happens, however, that he is doing just what they hositate to believe him capable of; and on coming to comprehend precisely where he stands, they will repudiate him, as he has already been repudiated by all other real southern Democratic party journals. Ishmael- itish papers, like the New Orleans Delta, whose columns are always devoted to causes repudiated by the mass of the Democratic party of the South, may be expected to con- tinue to stand by his fortunes so long as he “goes in’’ for the right to plunder, murder, and burn, in the territories of weak neighbor- ing nations; while journals such as the Georgia Conststutionalist and Richmond Enquirer, known as organs of some leading public man, may be expected to stand by him until the force of public opinion at home compels the eue to bout ship to be given to them. The sympathy of Mr. Alexander H. Stephens for Senator Douglas, wholly on account of what the latter was politically, formerly, is the secret of the effort of the Constitutionalist to stem the torrent of southern repudiation of the latter’s course. That sympathy is the result of the generosity and geniality of the charac- ter of Mr. Stephens. Our private information leads us to conclude that it was dissipated, however, by what Mr. Stephens saw and heard during his late trip to Chicago. He doubtless went there in the be- lief that Senator Douglas meant what he said in declaring, about the end of the late session of Congress, his purpose to be to seek to re-estab- lish his connection with the Democratic party. On the contrary, we found him bent on on creating a Democratic anti-slavery party, which. while professing respect for the rights of the South under the Constitution, shall aim to secure the northern floating vote by keeping the promise of that profession only to the ear; and which will vote forand sustain the measures of Abolitionism designed step by step to abro- gate those rights, while professing to defend them—denying, of course, the ultimate ten- dency of their acts, which are of far more im- portance than their honied phrases uttered but to deceive such gentlemen as Mr. Stephens. The public may rely on it that had not Mr. Stephens become satisfied that the South could net properly sympathize with Mr. Douglas, he would have carried out his original intention of visiting this city on his return from Illinois, in order to restore harmony between the chief of the Democratic party in the Presidential chair, and his former political friend. Knowing well that President Buchanan not only had nothing whatever to gain by treating Senator Douglas as a bitter enemy of the Dem- ccratic party, but that he would gladly make any personal sacrifice to save the party from the loss of strength in the West incident to the desertion of Douglas and hia adherents, he (Mr. Stephens) saw on reaching Illinois, that it is the deliberate purpose of Douglas to continue in his position of hostility to the Position of the majority of the Democratic party of Con- gress on the Kansas question—that he designs playing next winter the part of the leader of the combined opposition against the’vonsum- mation of the pledge of the English bill that Kansas ehal! not be admitted into the Union until sbe has the requisite ratio of Population ; and that if Douglas triumphs in November, he will inevitably become the head of a new Northern anti-slavery organization, which adopting many of the tenets of the Democracy upon subjects other than the sli 'Y question, will seek, by pandering to abolition passions and prejudices on that subject, to ride into po- litieal power at the North. Or, in other words, Mr. Stephens saw clearly that if Douglas is elected in November, his course in the Senate of the United States will soon divide the Dem- eeratic party geographically, and thus inev- itably destroy its nationality. As a wise and patriotic man should do under such circum- stances, Mr. Stephens, instead of coming to Washington to mediate in behalf of Douglas, washed his hands of the business, and went straight home. Such, we have every reason to believe to be the key to the change that came over the spirit of Mr. Stephens’s dream about becoming a mediator between the Presi- dent and Senator Douglas. Appropos of the support which the New Or leans Courier gives to Senator Douglas. Up to the last session of the Louisiana Legislature, that paper was the recognized organ of the Democratic party of the State. The “party in the Legislature, however, took from it the State printing, bestowing that on the Baton Rouge Democratic journal. Such is the milk in the ecocoa-nut of the Cowrier’s recent change of front, from being the recognized chief organ of the Louisiana Democracy, to become the as- sailant of such gentlemen as Senator Slidell and the rest of those who are most influential in the party there, and the defender and sup- porter of all at home and abroad, who are po- litical Ishmaelites, hanging on the skirts of the Democratic party organization, and seeking to make trouble for it at every turn. The true position of the Democracy of the South upon the current Illinois canvass, is very ably set forth in the following reply to the Georgia Coustitutionalist’s defence of Doug- las. It is taken from the Charlesten Mercury, and explains the duty of the South in the pre- mises, with great force and clearness : The Augusta Constitutionalist, in anelaborate article, defends the Hon. Alexander H. Ste- hens for Lis late declaration in Cincinnati -‘that t was in favor of oe ee —— — a ied pedge Douglas, and be re; the war fe President upon the anti. Lecompton men of lt Rois as wickedly foolish.” It quotes the Hon. James [.. Orr, of South Carolina, in his late speech at Craytonville, to prove that Mr. Ste- phens ‘does not stand alone at the South.”’ It asserts that the issue in the Senatorial election 1s between Douglas and Lincoln, a Democrat and or an Abolitionist, and that between the two, the South oug bt to su rt the Democrat. Now,tbis is an error both of tand argument. There are three ‘ies in Illinois—the Lecompton or Ad- ministration Democrats, who desire to return Mr. Breese to the Senate; the anti. Lecompton,or Douglas Democrats, who desire to re-elect Mr. us; and the Biack Republicans, who de- elect Mr. Lincoln. The Comstitttionalist quotes an extract from a of a in apite of the provisions in the late Compromise act? and if it does, will not a struggle a-ise in c = oe headed by las, who will seek a new triumph over the Administration and the South, overthrow! the Compromise and ansas into the Union? Now here isan nt issue directly before us, to be in! by this election,ia which Douglas is agai aid of the Abolitionists in Congress. is power "ions the Administratio: uth. “The Constitutionalist thinks i that any one in the South should be op- prised ‘lection of Douglas. Weare only surprised that a single mag in the South can be found to be in favor of his election. We of the South are to abandon’the men and the party which-are true to us—to abandon Breese, and Reynolds, and Fitch, and to support a le. phy to arraign the een as ipl Soon fool ish,’ because he a which has been faithfal to his Adtmalstration’ ons Southern issue, and which will be faithful in an- ‘other Southern tssue wh! to to arise; and we are to take into our embraces that man who bas just a ~_ eed 0s, and is repared to repeat his gracious hostility. y For our part, we saprors the administration In its wise and consistent policy in pets all affiliation with Douglas. We are in favor of the mpton y, and Mr. Breese for the Senate of the United States from Illinois. We could not favor the re-election of Douglas, unless ‘we were secretly in love with his apostacy, de- sired the late compromise Kansas act to be vio- lated, and aimed at the defeat and disgrace of the South. A faithless friend is always worse than an open enemy. What abolitionist could have done one tithe the mischief Douglas petpe- trated on the South, the administration, and the Democratic party, at the last session of Congress? Yet we are calied upon to re-commission this miserable and unprincipled deserter, and, as a leading Democrat of the Northwest, to put him in @ position where he can again bring discomfi- ture upon the Democratic party in its southern policy. But it is absurdly urged that we are Failed upon to select between opponents more or less bitter. If the Democratic party of Illinois obtains the balance of power in the Illinois Le- gislature, they will compel the Douglasites to elect Breese. Nor in any case is it a choice of Opponents. Weare to fetch this traitor in our camp, give him the right hand of fellowship, and instal him in power. We are to forgive his contumacious desertion and betrayal, to set up the evil example of his course for imitation of northwestern Ihesnactats in similar emergencies. We are to sow the seeds of treachery broadcast through the remnant of the party North—the seeds of distrust and alienation throughout the South. Demoralization and detection will follow Rain and destruction to the party, North and South, will be the fruit. These are the evils of pardoning and support- ing Douglas. The election of a Black Republi- can is nothing in comparison. If Douglas be re- admitted into the Democratic party, and Kansas be brought in as a free State, after her rejection as a slave tate, and in violation of the late compro- mise, the Democratic party is forever gone. ‘The party is now weak at the North. It will be di- vided and repudiated at the South, and, between the sections, fall ey to the earth. We can well understand how the innumerable band of selfish Southern aspirants to the Presidency or other bigh office, with their — friends and followers, can seek to improve their momentary chances at the expense of the ge eager d u- rity and permanent integrity of the party which they are each using for his own private ends; but Wwe cannot understand how the party or the Union are to be be benefited by the ignoring of faithless defection on a question of vital importance to that section where the strength of the party lies. Ia a shifting, shuffling policy, the party must go down, disorganized and destroyed. Its only hope is in the strict maintenance of its doctrines which uphold the rights of the South. If these are abandoned to save the remnant of the party at the North, nought but a faction in search of spoils is left, and the fate of such, in these times of ex- citement, may be predicted with certainty. Wire- pullers cannot much longer hoodwink the people of the South. Burnixe or tHe Quarantine Buiipines at New Yorx —The New York papers of yes- terday are filled with particulars of the burn- ing of the quarantine buildings on Staten Island. Unlees the accounts are greatly ex- aggerated, this outrage is the most inbuman we have ever read of as being perpetrated in an enlightened and christianized community, by men professing respectability. It is not merely that the buildings are destroyed, but that they were destroyed at a time when they were filled to repletion with the sick and dy- ing, for whose future secommodations no pro- vision had been made. It will be seen, by reference to our news column, that the helpless invalids were taken from the buildings and laid on the grass-plats, in the open air, and exposed to the scorching heat and burning cinders from the couflagration. It is but nat- ural to suppose the decease of numbers of the sick would almost necessarily follow from this exposure alone ; but when we consider that, in addition, they will have to be removed to other less convenient and commodious quarters than those so ruthlessly destroyed, their sabsequent recovery would seem to depend on the almost miraculous interposition of Divine Providence And what was the cause of this outrage? Read the fellowing answer to that question, which we take from the New York Times : ‘The difficulties of the quarantine have been on the increase for the past twenty years, as the pulation in the neighborhood of the hospitals es aseneea Men have gone down to Staten Island and built themselves costly and loxurious villas in the vicinity of a lazaretto that has been in existence more than half a century, and then have complained that it is an injury to their pro- perty aud danyerous to their heatths. ‘The natu- Tal answer to all such complaints is, that those who do not like to live in close proximity to a pest-bouse should remove their residences to a more healthy or more agreeable location. If the hospitals had been placed among them, against their wishes, there would have been a shadow of justice in their outrageous conduct.’? This outrage, which we would have supposed no civilized community capable of perpetra- ting, is but another evidence of the deleterious influences of that “ higher lawism ’’ that leads men to defy all regulations for the government of society, and set at naught every principle of Christianity and morality, for the accomplish- ment of their own purposes, be the latter right or wrong.

Elias Recter, Superintendent of Tudian Affairsin the Southwest, directing him to take measures for the removal of the Seminoles remaining in Florida. It was under the man- agement of Col. R. that Billy Bowlegs and his party were removed to the West, and it is con- fidently believed that his farther efforts in this respect will be successful, if the white people who live adjacent to the haunts of the Indians still in Florida, will not interfere with them, #0 a8 to induce them to retire to their hiding- Places in the impenetrable tmorasses. Col.
