[mil CI/fcllENß* SPEECH CONCLUDED.]
that they have been unfaithful to their
pledges is maintained ; and I pass on to
the bold announcement that it was the
right and the duty of the Government to
ntake the Gulf of Mexico an American
lake ; and that the Democratic party ex
pected this much at the hands of the next
administration. Who could have believed
that, with this resolution before him, Mr.
Buohanan would permit one American
vowwvl after another to be boarded and
searched by British cruisers in those same
vtodrm*; etmd who would have credited the
fact that the great Democratic
party would set down contented under this
insult to our national dag, and this out
tage upon our sailors’ rights, upon receiv
ing ft kind of vague intimation from the
British Minister that he was rather sorry
for what had occurred. Mr. Buchanan
says that he had demanded and obtained
an apology. Well, if he did, it did not
put ft stop to the wrong, for an American
▼easel was boardedf after that time in the
Gulf, and another in the harbor of San
Jnaa, and the captain of an American
man-of-war (whose name I have forgotten,
and never wish to remember) resented tl e
indignity by telling the British Captain
that he must not do it again. Perhaps
Mr. Buchanan has got another apology ;
but the Democracy must pardon me for
reminding them that “ this is not the en
tertainment to which we were invited/’ —
They promised to make that Gulf an
American lake. British ships were to
? lough those waters only by sufferance.—
t was not apologies for insults to our na
tional flag which we were led to expect,
but the complete dominion of the sea.—
Never before did a political party talk so
boldly. Never did a political party insert
so strong a resolution in their platform of
principles, and never did any party so quail
and cower at the bare thought of rousing
the anger of the British lion. If this were
cowardice I could pity and forgive it. If
the nerves were too weak to carry out the
promptings]'of the heart, the infirmity
would demand our commiseration. But
the Democratic party has no such excuse.
There is not one in a hundred among them
who, with an adequate motive before him,
would not rush upon a loaded battery with
out the quivering of a lip, or the whiten
ing of a cheek. It is not England they
fear, but the loss of power and office at
home. It is a miserable truckling to par
ty expediency. They are in power. A
war might prove unpopular, and rather
than encounter this risk they submit to in
dignities which I am sure must make their
cheeks burn as hotly as yours or mine.—
Let it bo our business to free them from
such restraints. Let- us'go out among the
people, and holding up the long list of
promises they have broken for the sake of
office, scourge them, by an overwhelming
defeat,Jinto a loftier patriotism.
Mr. President, the task I had imposed
upon myself is becoming wearisome. It is
too easy to be exciting. A few words in
relation;Jto the Pacific Railroad, and I shall
turn to another theme. Unlike other pro
mises, which they possibly meant to keep,
this one was made to be broken. The small
depredators upon the Treasury never in
tended that a bill should pass which ab
stracted so much of the public money, and
diminished so much the chances of their
own stealage. It was inserted in the plat
form with reluctance, and only inserted
because it was feared the votes of Califor
nia and Missouri might otherwise be lost.
£vry speculator who had a scheme to rob
tfe* treasury of from one hundred to one
bttatalred thousand dollars, was directly in
terested in killing the bill. These gentry
had learned from experience that it is much
easier to filch from a full coffer than an
empty one. They understood well enough
that governments, like individuals, grow
more watchful of their accounts, when
their pockets are empty.
Hence the difficulties and delays which
wo have witnessed during the last two ses“
sions ot Congress. Hence the squabbles
about Northern, Middle and Southern
routes. The defeat of Senator Gwin’spro
position was a foregone conclusion. It
never had the least chance of success, and
never will have until the money changers
are driven from the temple, and a higher
standing of public morality established at
the National Oapitftl. Tlio ohameleee vio
lation of this pledge was so apparent—so
undeniable —that Andrew Johnson was
compelled to resort to the desperate expe
dient of denying that it constituted any
part of the platform. To this count in
the indictment they plead guilty It would
be therefore superfluous to waste time in
adducing further proof that here as else
where the democracy have falsified their
pledges.
Now, sir. if there is anything le ft of the
Cincinnati Platform, I can afford to let it
stand. There certainly is not enough to
support the weight of a boy often years of
age ; and if in the general wreck any devo
ted Democrat can find a single plank to
bear him up amid the waves of popular
indignation that war around him, it would
be inhumanity to snatch from him that
last support.
Having said so much of the platform, it
will be expected of me to say something of
the candidate who was elected upon it.—
I shall accord to him the same charity I
have extended to his party generally, and
confine my remarks to the same period.—
Previous to his election I had occasion to
speak of him in terms such as I thought
be deserved. I shall not repeat the lan
guage now. He has done enough since
that time to make public honor a matter
of doubt, art! the continuance of republi
can freedom a question of difficult solution. I
In his letter of acceptance he said that the ;
Cincinnati platform was broad enough and i
explicit enough, and he should therefore j
make no additional pledges, and write no
letters for publication during the canvass. ;
Yet he (lid write a letter to a gentleman in 1
California, calculated and intended to ef
fect tlie election in that State, which, with
characteristic cunning, lie so timed that it
was impossible for it to return to become j
generally known on this side of the Rocky •
Mountains priorto theelection. His friends
may say that this is a small matter, but
bad faith is never a small matter, and noth
ing is more certain than that the man who
has deceived you once will do it again if
an opportunity offers.
Nor are other instances wanting which
even the Democracy will admit to be of
sufficient importance to justify public com
ment. He sent Robert J. Walker to Kan
sas, as Governor of the Territory, with ex
press instructions to have the whole Con
stitution submitted to a vote of the people.
In following the exact line of his instruc
tions Gov. Walker incurred the odium of
the whole South, which Mr. Buchanan no
sooner perceived than he ignored his own
instructions—adopted the action of the
Convention—urged Congress to ratify it,
and left Robert J. Walker and Frederick
P. Stanton to bear the odium of having
deserted and betrayed the section to which
both were indebted for all the honors they
had ever worn. 1 will not ask if this was
manly, for no one ever suspected him of
manliness. I will not ask if this was just,
for a sense of justice is not among the num
ber of virtues for which lie lias been dis
tinguished. But 1 ask to what lower depth
of infamy a Chief Magistrate could de
scend, than that of permitting his subor
dinates to be crushed by popular indigna
tion for no other sin than that of obeying
his instructions too well.
There is another case which comes more
directly liome to the people of * Tennessee.
When in his warfare upon Douglas the
President determined to remove all the
office-holders who favored his election, Gov.
Brown refused to become a party to such
an attack upon the rights of a State. Mr.
Buchanan made the removals himself, but
kept his own agency in the matter a se
cret, and Gov. Brown carried with him to
his grave, not merely the reproach of hav
ing been a party to a petty persecution,
but the grave suspicion of having made an
unconstitutional attack upon the sover
eignty of Illinois.
These are grave charges, but serious as
they are, they sink into utter insignificance
when compared with the giant strides
which the President has taken towards con
verting this Republic into a. consolidated
despotism. Duplicity may only prove in
dividual meanness, and inflict individual
wrong. It may therefore be sometimes
permitted to pass unpunished without de
triment to the public interests. But an
attack upon the sovereign rights of a State
—the exertion of the whole power and in
fluence of the Government to convert a
Senator into a* pliant tool of Executive
power, is another matter, and calls for de
cided condemnation. Douglas placed up
on the Kansas bill precisely the same con
struction which Mr. Buchanan had all
along maintained, and which lie had in
structed Robert J. Walker to enforce.—
But when the Lecompton Constitution
came before Congress Mr. Buchanan had
changed bis opinion, and he demanded that
the Illinois Senator should do likewise.—
Looking to his own constituents rather
than to the Executive, Mr. Douglas refus
ed obedience to the mandate. To have os
tracised him from the party under such
circumstances, would not, unfortunately,
have been without precedent, and however
much we might have lamented the injus
tice of the act, no one would have preten
ded that it amounted to a national wrong.
Mr. Buchanan was not content with this
customary mode of punishing a refracto
ry member. He followed him into Illinois.
He undertook to dictate to the people who
they should elect ; he said to them, in ef
fect you must send to Washington an Ex
ecutive tool—he may be nominally the rep
resentative of your sovereignty, but be
must be in reality my slave.
It is my will that Stephen A. Douglas
shall be defeated, and if you look for Exe
cutive favors sec to it that I am obeyed.—
Such was the plain meaning of his conduct,
and such would have been bis language if
be bad dared to utter it. When Louis
XIV gave vent to the haughty exclama
tion—“l am the State,” he uttered no
more detestable sentiment, and if this usur
pation is permitted to pass unpunished —
if the party who sustain and endorse the
President who lias been guilty of it, are
still retained in power, all history is false
if other usurpations do not follow in its
footsteps, until we are reduced to a state
of servitude to which the despotism of
Louis XIV would be comparatively free
dom. Already kindred outrages have
grown familiar to the Executive mind, and
excite no indignation in the bosoms of his
followers. His extraordinary demand that
Congress-Should confer upon him the war
making power, and give him the absolute
control of the army and navy, must be in
i eluded in the list of Tennessee endorse
ments. Not satisfied with even these dic
tatorial powers, he makes a further demand
for £30,000,000, ostensibly for the purpose
of purchasing Cuba, but the sum is so in
adequate to the object contemplated that
it requires extraordinary credulity to be
lieve that the Administration really inten
| ded to use it for territorial acquisition. In
I my honest opinion the intention was to use
id as a r -.rrupt i'"*n fund to secure the norn
THE EPSON PILOT, THURSDAY MORNING, APRIL 21, 1859.
ination and election of John Slidell as Pres- |
ident of these United States. There is
nothing in the past history of either James
Buchanan or John Slidell to place them
above suspicion. Give them £30.000,000
to be used in buying Spanish Officials, and
unless some such miracle occurs as that of
the Leopard changing his spots, a part of
the sum will be employed in buying the j
Charleston Convention, and the remainder
in purchasing the votes necessary to insure
the election of its nominee.
In this view of the case, Mr. Slidell's
proposition is an improvement upon the
manner of selling the Roman people by
the Pretorian cohorts. They required the
purchaser to pay the stipulated price from ■
his own resources. Mr. Slidell takes the
money of the people to corrupt the repre
sentatives, and buys up their liberties with
the means they have themselves supplied.
A little reflection upon the circumstances,
and upon the characters of'the two princi
pal actors leaves no room to doubt that the
£30,000,000 was needed for domestic, and
not for foreign corruption. Mr. Slidell is
notoriously a gambler in politics as in eve
ry thing else, and Mr. Buchanan has given
unmistakable evidence of his readiness to
resort to any means however low, or how
ever vile, to accomplish his ends. From
the day of his enterance into the White
House lie has been a busy intermedler with
every State election. Eleven hundred use
less workmen were sent to the Navy Yard
at New York to secure the election of Da
niel E. Sickles. A smaller number, but
sufficient for the purposes, were sent to the
Navy Yard at Philadelphia, to secure the
election of Thomas B. Florence. Who do
these men represent ? Not the people, for
they were beaten by the people. They rep
resent the President alone, and who doubts
that they will be ready at all times to obey
the mandates of the power to which they
are indebted for seats in the National Leg
islature.
These things have not been done in a
corner. The circumstances are so well
known, and the proof is so clear, as to have
wrung from a Democratic Senator the fol
lowing reluctant admissions :
“ Your appropriations for navy yards
have come to the building of houses for of
ficers and making of flower pots and all
that kind of thing, at a cost of £2,000,000 ;
and it will be no less as long as you will
pay it, hut will go up to £4,000,000, if
you do not stop it. There are £2,000,000
that you have no need for at all. You
have 8,000 sailors to man your navy. You
have not increased them of late years, and
you now have 8,000 men in your navy yards
to help them —civilians. You have car
ried their number up from 3000 to 8000.
Y r ou have eight navy yards. England ha*
over 550 ships, and she has two navy yards.
You have eight, conveniently located all
about the country, and it is a cause of re
proach to good Democrats, for the enemy
say we keep people hereto cheat them in
elections , and as God is my judge, I am
afraid there is something in it.”
And now, what are we to think of a par
ty who, with these facts before them, as
sembled in a convention here in the city of
Nashville, and endorsed the administra
tion of James Buchanan ? Can you doubt
that when we go out among the people
with that endorsement in our hands, the
honest masses will turn with indignant an
ger from the leaders who have lost sight of
independent patriotism in their eager pur
suit of office, and forgotten that they had
a country, in their intense admiration of a
party ?
If I may be allowed to borrow the em
phatic language of Mr. Toombs, as God is
my Judge, no matter what may appear to
be their present strength, I believe that we
can heat them, and that we will beat them
if we try.
I remember to have read a description
of two opposing hosts which applies not
inaptly to the present condition of things
in our own State. A venerable Priest is
addressing a warrior whose fame had been
widely blown through Southern Europe—
“ Sec you that mighty host., led on by one
All kingly in his mein, with air. and words,
And habit of command; followed hy troops
Brilliant and glittering, with golden arms, and steeds
Beating the eager ground"?
*********
Now see that scanty troop upon a hill!
Plain in their armor, homely in their guise,
Firm, though not boastful, stern, though calm, they
stand.”
The old man’s listner, who had learned
on many a bloody field to estimate correct
ly the qualities of a genuine soldier, in
stantly exclaimed —
I: Aud then shall win the day—such are the men
That compter.”
That, troop niton a hill is ours. Honor
and patriotism is the armor we wear—
plain truth the only weapon to wield. No
light charge can shake such an array, and
if we are true to ourselves, the loud vaun
tings of anticipated victory in which our
enemiesare already indulging, will bechan
ed to moans of anguish when the battle is
over. To you, gentlemen of the Eastern
and Middle Division, it is proper that I
should offer the assurance that although
not so fully represented here as could be
desired, there will yet he, in our part of
the field, no faltering—no falling off from
the high duties to which we arc called. —
From the banks of the mighty Mississippi
to the Eastern line of the Western Divi
sion, there is a stern, calm, all pervading
resolution never to lay down our arms un
til the hosts of corruption and disunion
are driven from the land. We do not pro
mise you a victory, because that would be
in imitation of the boastful spirit of our
adversaries. But wc promise you that
whatever can be done to wiu it, shall be
done bv men who have never learned to
despair and cannot be taught how to sur
render.
Mr. President, this is an auspicious day.
It is one which is already marked with a
white stone in the kalends of the Repub
lic. On this day twelve years ago the city
of Vera Cruz surrendered to the American
arms, and the banner of the stars and stripes
was thrown to the breeze from the castle
of San Juan d’Ulloa. Upon that glori
ous anniversary, we have met together to
concert measures for rescuing the land wc
love from the sway of the party who have
blighted its prosperity, and converted its
national capitol into a sanctuary for cor
ruption. There can be but one higher in
centive to patriotic exertion, and that also
we have. The sainted fathers of the Revo
lution are looking down upon us now. —
From the arched vault of Heaven they im
plore us, their children, to save the Gov
ernment they died to establish, from the
selfish demagogues who are infusing a
deadly poison into all its branches. If we
are men—if we are patriots, we will an
swer to that call. If we are freemen, and
deserve to be free, a war-cry will go out
from this hall which as it rolls and swells
among the hills and valleys of the State,
shall nerve the arm of the weakest to strike
one good blow in his country’s cause.
Getting Worse in Virginia. —On the
4th of April, at Henrico Court-house, Va.,
at a Democratic meeting called to hear
speeches from their three several candidates
for Congress in that District (there is no
Whig candidate), a fourth Democrat took
the stand and announced himself a candi
date on Letcher’s platform of 1847 — the
abolition of slavery in Virginia ! The
Richmond Whig thus notices this winding
up of the day’s canvass :
“After Thomas had concluded, another
Democrat hy the name of Abrams, arose
and announced himself a candidate for Con
gress, also, and made a most eloquent and
impressive speech. Its impressiveness con
sisted in the sact —and here was the seri
ous part of the day’s performances—that
lie proclaimed himself in favor of the ex
tinction of slavery in Virginia! See, peo
ple of Virginia, how the nomination of
John Letcher is already working! For
the first time in the history of the Com
! monwealtli, there is a man, and a Demo
! crat, who stands as a candidate for Con
! gress, announcing himself IN FAVOR OF
I THE EXTINCTION OF SLAVERY IN
VIRGINIA!! And here —thus early—
is the hitter fruit of the nomination of an
Emancipationist for Governor of Virginia !
Have the people of this blessed old Com
monwealth eyes, and see not —ears, and
hear not ? Fs there nothing in the an
nouncement of Mr. Abrams, a Democratic
candidate for Congress in the Metropolitan
District of Virginia, to create alarm and
apprehension ?” — Columbus Enquirer.
A New Southern Book. —The under
signed proposes publishing, provided he
meets with encouragement, a
! new work to he called “The Southern Lit
j erary Compend.” The work will he pub
| fished in fine style, containing about three
i hundred pages and embellished with cor
rect steel engraved likenesses of eminent
Southern writers. As it will cost a large
amount of money to publish the proposed
work, he will sell it only to subscribers. —
Those who wish the hook can give their
names to the undersigned, and if a suffi
cient number is obtained, the work will be
published ; if not, it will be declined. This
: is no humbug, but an humble effort to
collect, in a neat volume, many a literary
| waif of rarest value, that otherwise must
be lost. Among the collections will be
found articles from Wilde, Simms, Judge
Meek, Mrs. Bryan, Jenny Woodbine and
others, who have contributed greatly to
the promotion of Southern Literature.
Terms, £3 per copy, payable on delivery.
We will be very thankful to our breth
ren of the press if they will call attention
to our proposed work and will, in the event
we succeed in having it issued, present
each with a copy who may publish this
prospectus. j. C. C. BLACKBURN.

“No Time.” —We complain we have “'no

instances have lately occurred in different
parts of the country, says an exchange,

of poison taken into the system by swal

Two cotton wagons meeting one day, the
following dialogue took place between the
driver: “What’s cotton in Augusta?”
says the one with a load. “ Co'ton,” says
the other. The inquirer, supposing him

in Augusta ?” “It s cotton says the other.
“I know that,” says the first, “but what

and every where else that I ever heard of.”
“I know that as well as you do,” says the
first, “but what does cotton bring in Au

PROSPECTUS OF
TIIK
SOUTHERN FIELD and FIRESIDE;
A Weekly Literary and Agricultural Pa
per, to be published in Augusta, Ga.
THIS is the title of a Weekly paper, devoted to Ag
riculture, Literature and Art, which 1 design to pub
lish in Augusta, Ga. It will be in quarto form of eight
pages, folio size—each issue to contain forty columns
of matter. It will be in general style similar to. and
in size somewhat larger than, the New York Ledger.—
It will he published on good book paper, and will be
in mechanical execution in the best style of the tyi>o
graphical art. In utility, it will be all that the l>est ag
ricultural science and practical knowledge the South
can furnish. A weekly visitor to the homes of South
ern planters and farmers, it will be more useful and ac
ceptable to them than any monthly journal of equal
merit.
In mental attractions it will be all that a spirit of en
terprise on my part, and a laudable emulation on the
part of others, can evoke from Southern intellect and
cultivation.
Too long the Southern people have been content to
look to Northern periodicals for instruction in agricul
tural matters, and to Northern literary papers for men
tal recreation. There is, however, a growing spirit of
independence and of self-reliance at the South. Our
people are awaking to the conviction that we have the
elements of success in the experience, knowledge, and
scientific investigation, of the dwellers in our own
Southern homes. The truth is gleaming upon us, that
we have literary resources of our own worthy to he fos
tered—that among Southern writers should he divided
some portion of that vast stream of Southern money
that Hows perpetually northward to sustain Northern
literature.
My aim is to establish a paper that will he a vehicle
of information useful to Southern planters and farmers,
and a lepository of Southern thought, imagination, and
taste, in the realms of Literature and Art; and to ob
tain for it such an extent of patronage and success as
will justify the most liberal compensation to all its con
tributors. Able and experienced Editors are engaged,
and steps are in progress to secure contributions from
the most pleasing Southern writers, <>f both sexes.—
Much latent talent will he brought to light, and furnish
some agreeable surprises to Southern people.
“Full many a gent, of purest ray serene,”
will Hash before their admiring eyes, and cause a gen
erous glow of pride in Southern genius.
The Agricultural Editor will he L>r. Daniel Lee, the
distinguished Professor of Agricuituie i. the Universi
ty of Georgia—editor for many ye irs past of the South
ern Cultivator, and a leading contributor to many Nor
thern agricultural journals . ; the highest reputation.
The Literary Editor will be Mr. W. W. Maim, of this
city, an accomplished writer, of line taste and scholar
ly attainments, who. having retired from the active du
ties of the legal profession, spent many years in Eu
rope, ami was for several years the Paris Correspon
dent of the National Intelligencer, and Southern Lite
rary Messenger.
The Southern Field and Fireside will combine the
useful and the agreeable. It will furnish the Southern
farmer information useful in (‘very Held he cultivates,
and the Southern family choice literature, the oilspring
of Southern intellect, worthy of welcome at every lirc
side. It will be. in all respects a 11’ tda s paper—on
a scale of expenditure more liberal than inns yet been
attempted in the South, and designed to rival in its
merits the most distinguished of the North.
The first number will be issued on the 28th day of
May next.
Terms—Cash in advance. ?2 00 a year.
Bills current in tins State from which they are sent,
received at par.
Postmasters will be allowed fifteen per cent, on the
amount of subscriptions obtained by them.
On all subscriptions exceeding twenty, sent from one
office, twenty-five per cent, will be allowed.
In addition to this commission, a premium of one
hundred dollars will he paid to that Postmaster, in each
of the following States, who sends the largest- number
or sunsertners, w trn trie money, ny tin* ttrst day of Au
gust next: Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, Ala
bama and Mississippi.
Other premiums and prizes will l>e duly announced.
No club rates allowed. No credit allowed in any
case. Contributions solicited from the pens of South

the South for their patronage and good wishes.
