We had hoped tliat the complete overthrow of
thf continued efforts of Southern Know Nothings
.mil Northern Black Republicans, to defeat the
. : rfion of James Buchanan, had beaten a little
. ::s-* and patriotism into the brains of the Know
Nothing leaders. The gallant peoplo of the Key
stone Slate nobly spurned the solicitations of such
, nasi Southern men as Botts and Raynor, to help
the cause of Fremont by sustaining the “fusion”
Fillmore and Fremont ticket, and gave a clear ma-
tv to the Democratic cause ot the Constitution
and the Union. Thoroughly routed on the Penn
sylvania battle-ground, there was some reason to
anticipate that the Southern scheme* of the “Amer
ican" party would have been content to bear their
inglorious deieat with a little equanimity, to bow
... the will of the people, ana to abstain fora little
while from their battled machinations of anti-Dem-
ocratic fusion.
Hut the events of the past few days in Congress
satisfy us that “the creature is at his dirty work

i*, and thereby to play into the bauds of the
ok Republican members. We rejoice that Mr.
i i of .South Carolina so promptly defeated this
know Nothing movement bv bringing forw ard a
temperate resolution which fairly represented the
uivcrsal sentiment of the South in opposition to

But there Li still another striking phase of an
■-- h oly assimilation between Know Notbingism
..rid Black Republicanism. The attention of the
; pie of the South, and particularly of the “Ann-r-
,n party, should he directed to the recent re-
ark m the House of Mr. If. Marshal! of Ken-
T’scky, viz: “I would not give the toss of a cop
per. as to which of the two political candidates had

. • f the “South American’’ party in Congress, is
v ell calculated to give aid and comfort to the chiefs
i f the Black Republican host. Are the Southern
Know Nothing party prepared to reiterate and

. n-ss? Arc they ready to admit that John C.
Fremont is as sound and safe as the able Pennsyl-
. inin statesman who has always stood by the con-
• rational rights of the South? What other con-
- juence can How from such prejudiced and parti-

• u Know Nothings must taketlieir choice between

We are m the midst of the Christmas Tloli
days—those proverbially happy times,fragrant with
the smi 11 of apple sweetmeats, long sauce, pump
kin pie and hot whiskey punch. We hope our
Seers have all, thus far, spent a happy Christ
mas—and will he ready to “take hold” with the
new year, more encouraged and better able to fight
the battle of Life. The memory of the departed
year and the hopes of the future have been drank
over many a merry bowl—while other scenes have
been sad and sorrowful, as “the family” gathered
together in their customary re-union. Joy and
sorrow—hand in hand they go—one day the first
predominates, and the next the latter—each speak
ing to the restless soul, a lesson full of invaluable
truths. CWistmas and New- Year ! how near to
gether, yet how widely different in their results.
The one is celebrated with eating, drinking, song
and frolic—the other ealls the mind to a calm sur
vey of the past and its obligations and responsi
bilities. A Happy New Year, is sounded in the
ears of many a poor fellow whose soul is tormen
ted with frightful apparitions in the shape ot huge
bills unpaid, and notes already due, and who feels,
honestly perhaps, unable to make both ends meet.
What, does he care for “Happy New l'ear!” It
brings nothing with it to make him happy. Happy
is he, who can say to himself, on the morning of
the New Year—“I have denied myself the past
year, so that now I can walk out into the world
with head erect, owing no man a cent.” He is a
happy fellow—and when the customory greeting
of the New Year comes to his ear, it does not go
straight out at the other, but melts into his very
heart of hearts, and fills him to overflowing with
pure delight.

We regret that some member of the Southern
Convention. among the great variety of objects
which attracted their attention, had not recom
mended to the Legislatures of the Slave-holding
States to pass a law- that one slave in every family
should bo exempt from levy and sale. Iu our
opinion a law to this effect would do more to
strengthen tho institution at the South thau
all that these Conventions have yet done. Let it
he understood that one servant should under all
circumstances he reserved from the hands of the
Sheriff, and almost every man of a family would
soon contrive to own one. Such a law would
prove a great blessing in many respects. It
would save many a woman that has been tenderly
raised from the labors of the Kitchen and the wash
tub. It would keep many a man that has been
unfortunate in business from despair. With one
favorite servant saved from the wreck, his family
would not suffer, and he would be encouraged to
rally and retrieve his fortune. This would prove
no hardship to creditors, for when it was known
that one servant was exempt from sale no man
would bo credited on the strength of his owning
that property; hut that servant might enable a
man many times eventually to pay his debts, when
if all were sold some of the creditors would re
main unpaid. But the great object of the law
iTesident, in the exercise of all the legitimate would he the encouragement of every man of a
power, patronage and influence of his office, J family to own at least one servant, and thus make

The Black Republicans have discovered that it
is impossible for them to elect a President by a
pure sectional vote. I hey have learned from the
last election that when the South is united tho
Democracy can always command votes enough
s them all, when they interfere with its pre- at the North which added to the whole South will do-
. ived notions, and does nor. hesitate impiously
iuand “ananti-slavery Constitution, an anti-;
y Bible, and an auti-slavery God.”
' - n we see, not tho miserable fragments of a
feat them. Having become convinced of this fact, it
is the advice of Wm. II. Seward, and other Black
Republican leaders that they disband their pres-
iy, 1 ut 11 out of 1C Northern States, with more | ent organization, and by making common cause
with the enemies of the Democracy at the South
assume the name and pretentious of a National
party. All their speeches and movements since
the election have a tendency that way. Their
speeches iu Congress are not aimed at the South
but at the Democracy, and we see by the move-
a million of voters, declaring in favor of a
political adventurer for the Presidency, with-
adininistrativc talent or experience, o r even
urn.m honesty, to recommend him. simply be-
th'-y could make a base use of him, to cur-
:t their fanatical aims, in the event he should

a diminution, of fanatical strength, wherever 1 Ethridge of 1 enness**, that some of tiie op-
- very test has been fairly tried. Our cor- position leaders from the South are already willing

‘'l'«tt|n-u-rkr Fropecl Before
X\o copy from the Huntsville (Ala.) Democrat, a
short article with the above caption, intending to
mane a few comments thereon. We attribute none
but the purest and best motives to the writer, but
we are afraid he has become afflicted with that
disease which we lately applipl to the Charleston
Mercury, New Orleans Delta, et id omne genus—
which we termed political Hypo. It appears that
our friend of the Democrat is disturbed in his vis
ions of the future, by the apparent satisfaction of
tho Black Republicans at Washington with the re
sult of the late election, and that preparations are
making for a more vigorous attack than ever upon
our rights in 1860. That, we think, is all gammon.
The Black Republicans are whipped to death, and
can not make another fight with half the zeal or
strength they brought into exercise in the late
straggle. Whipped out of the Presidency, whip
ped out of tho House, and whipped ont of the
Senate, where is their hope for the future? We
fear nqt the future, if the great slavery question
is nbt encumbered with side issues. How was it
in 1854? At the North, the Know Nothings, and
they were nothing but abolitionists and free-soil-
ers under a new name, swept over the whole North
line a mighty Simoom, prostrating and burying
beneath its fury the national men in every North
ern State. Then our enemies were strong. To
swell their numbers, they had an issue for almost
every phase of Northern fanaticism—and the re
sult was, they concentrated such a party at the
North as never was before known there. That
was a strong party, twice as strong as Fremont’s
forces in the late contest, and what did they do ?
They quarrelled ani u ng themselves, split into fac
tions, and were ultimately whipped by the Democ
racy. But our friend of the Democrat, thinks if
the South can only be united, we are safe. That
is a great desideratum, but we want more than
that, if we desire to save the Union at the same
time we secure our rights under the Constitution.
He must hare the co-operation of the national men of
the Xorlh, or the Union cannot be preserved. The
past is pregnant with proof of this assertion.
Where would the South be now, admitting Mary
land had voted with the other Southern States,
and Pennsylvania and Indiana had voted for the
Northern or Black Republican candidate ? The
South is in a minority of 76 votes in the Electoral
Colleges. Where then is her iBpe ? It lies to a
great degree in the good sense, the justice, the pa
triotism of conservative men in the anti-slave
States. Many unfortunate circumstances were
combined in the late election to give the Black Re
publicans additional strength—for which the South
was not wholly guiltless. The true road to the
safety of tho South lies in three particulars—in
avoiding extreme measures, which are only so ma
ny powerful weapons placed m the hands of the
Sewards, the Wades, the Wilsons, the Hales, the
Burlingames, & c , to be used by them in stirring
up the public mind at the North, in inflaming the
passions and arousing the prejudices of the more
sober and sedate—and secondly, in upholding our
true friends at the North, and discarding all who
are doubtful or known to be against us. We do
not think our friend of the Democrat sufficiently
appreciates tho courage and patriotism of the
Northern Democracy. We know our hope is in
them, when the last great struggle comes; then
encourage them on ail occasions. Speak not dis-
couragingly and despondingly of tho future, when
the present is so full of victory. We have found
the Northern Democracy faithful and true; believe
them so still, or at least until it shall be shown
that they are not to be trusted. And thirdly, the
South can save herself and the Union by the
adoption of wholesome retaliatory laws against
those States that insult us as a people, and injure
our property. Let the axe fall upon tho guilty
arm, and as sure as the sun shall shine, the day
that witnesses the operation of such retaliatory
laws against an offending “free State,” will witness
the delivery of the South from the thraldom of
the North, and the first great step taken towards
the commercial independence of the South Let
us put chains on the monster when he threatens to
devour us—chains of Trade—a bondage that will
bear a hundred times heavier upon Y'ankee hearts,
Y'ankec consciences, and Y'ankee pockets, than the
re-opening of the African Slave Trade, or tho re
opening of any other Yankee abhorrence. Politi
cal crimes are very easily reconciled in New Eng
land consciences, by money. But to make such
fellows as Ward Beecher and Theodore Parker sons
of charity, and to convert Sumner into a fossile,
the South has only to touch the pocket nerve of
the North, quite sensibly, and the reform is brought
about. Let the South stand firm by her lights—
lot her defend and cherish her Northern friends—
and let her at the right time come down on the
State that grieves us, by retaliatory laws, and
she need not be afraid her rights will ever be de
nied her.
Warrcnlon, milledgririllc aud lHaeon Rail
Koud.
YVe call the special attention of all those inter
ested, to tho communication in our paper on the
subject ofthe above named Rail Road. Every j and you have none to censure but yourselves. YVitli
citizen living in the counties that the Rail Road j this new road running through your city, the Ea-
Jbicitu and Vt amulM Railroad.
To At People of Baldvcin county.
It is known to you that On the 15th of January,
the friends of this enterprise meet in Augusta.—
The object of the Convention is to hear the reports
of the several Commissioners appointed to receive
subscriptions for stock, and if these reports warrant
it, to take action for the construction of the road
Now what report shall be sent up from the county
of Baldwin—a county more deeply interested than
any other through which the contemplated road
will pass? If the road shall be built, a large por
tion of the funds have to be advanced by Augusta,
the Hamburg road, and the city of Charleston.—
They are ready to contribute, and contribute lib
erally, hut they ask, and properly ask, what faith
the people on the line of the road haje in the enter-
prize, and that they shall show their faith by their
works. They are willing to aid, but they demand
that those who are to be the beneficiaries, shall also
lend their aid.
Now what will you, the people of Baldwin, do?
When others are willing to help you, will you su
pinely fold your arms and do nothing for yourselves?
It is not mv design to prove to you, that the con
venience, if not the necessities of the public, de
mand the construction of this road; nor that when
constructed it will be the great thoroughfare for
the travel between the North and South; nor that
it will be one of the best paying roads iu the land
AH these positions are susceptible of demonstra
tion. I do wish, however, to show to you the
deep permanent and pecuniary interest yon and
each of you have in the enterprize. Most of you
have cotton or other produce that finds its ulti
mate market on the seaboard, and all of you are
consumers of what is brought to you from the sea
board. Upon every thing you sell and every
thing you buy, to or from the seaboard, you have
to pay a railroad freight, acknowledged by all io
he burdensome and oppressive. At Augusta, you
can send a bag of cotton 136 miles by railroad to
Charleston for 75 cents, and to Savannah for tho
ame or a less amouut; hut at Milledgeville, for
the same hag of cotton, you have to pay, in send-
it to Savannah, 190 miles by railroad, 55 cents
per 100 lbs. or upon a hag weighing 500 lbs. $2,75.
If Baldwin county yields annually 5000 bales, and
that is about her average production, and each
hale 500 lbs., her people pay annually for freights
on their cotton (and whether sold here or in Savau
nah, it makes no difference) the enormous sum of
$13,750. The grower of 100 bales pays $275; of
50 hales, $137.50. Ou the hack freights, the
charges are almost in the same proportion, as is ev
idenced by the fact that you can buy a sack of salt
in Augusta at 75 cents, which will cost you in Mi!
ledgeville $1.50 ; and sugar and coffee, and every
other heavy and bulky article at greatly reduced
rates. Now why this vast disproportion between
Augustaand Mil ledgeville ? The reason is obvi
ous. We have but one avenue to the seaboard,
a;:d that controlled by a monopoly, who (do no
more than we under the circumstances would)
make for themselves as much as they can. Au
gusta, on the other hand, has tliree avenues to the
seaboard, one to Charleston aud two to Savannah,
and the competition between them has reduced
freights to reasonable, living rates. Let the Rail
road to Warrantor! be built, and the instantaneous
effect will he the reduction of freights. The cot-
ion Iwg, instead of being charged with a freight of
$2. 75, would not be charged over 75 cents to
Augusta, or $1.50 to Charleston, a saving of oue
dollar, at the lowest calculation, on every bag of
cotton made in the county. In this view of the
case, taken in connection with the great reduction
on the hack freights (family supplies, &c.) it is
manifest, that the result of the construction of the
road to Warrenton would be, an annual saving to
the people of Baldwin county, of little, if any
thing less than $10,000, a larger amount than she
annually pays for State and county taxes. Y’es,
it is not too much to say, that there is not a man
in the county that has not a permanent and abid
ing interest in this road equivalent to his annual
taxes.
1 will not stop to estimate the increased value the
construction of this road will impart to your land;
the facilities it will utford for the employment of
many of your sons and your negroes, and for the
sale of many things around you that are value
less, but refer you to another consideration which
imperatively demands that every man in Baldwin
county, shall put his shoulders to the wheel and
lend, to the extent of his ability, his aid to this noble
enterprise. Yours is the Metropolis co. of the State.
That the Seat of Government is among you, may not
afford you any pecuniary interest, yet your sensibil
ities are aroused, your indignation excited, at the
continued efforts to remove it. You know the dis
astrous effect the perpetual agitation of this subject
has produced on your county town, depreciating
its property, preventing its improvement, and
paralyzing the energies of her people. Build this
road, and by the increased facilities of access it
will afford, you will at once,, and forever, silence
all agitation on that subject.
It should not be forgotton by you that now is
the time to strike, and to make an effective blow
for Milledgeville. Dally, procrastinate, and the
blow may be struck that will prostrate Milledge
ville forever. There are two charters for Railroads
connecting Macon with Augusta, one requiring the
road to pass through Milledgeville; the other,that
it pass some eight miles north ofthe city. One of
these roads will as surely be constructed as that
another Christmas day will dawn upon us. Charles
ton and Augusta have their eyes intently fixed up

for a portion of that trade, and are determined to
have it. The planters who make it groaning ur

up a competition, they can reduce their frieghts at
the lowest estimate, fifty cents a hale, making an
annual saving on the 265,000 hales now sent to

A corresponJent of the New Y’ork News says ;
The speech of Mr. Crawford of Ga., delivered in
the House to-day, was a masterly vindication of
the Democratic party against the assaults of Mr.
Humphrey Marshall. His reply was withering,
where he ridiculed the idea of Mr. Marshall assail
ing the Democratic party, on the ground that its
members in the North and South differed on the
constructions of the Kausas-Nebraska bill, when
his great “American” party was divided into three
divisions on the question of slavery, and when
they had held four Conventions in one year, each
adopting a platform inconsistent with the other up-
uo this vital subject.

will pass through, is deeply interested in the mat
ters therein discussed. The time 1ms come for the
people of Warren, Hancock, Baldwin, Jones and
Bibb, to take action in a matter of vital impor
tance to themselves and their children. Let them
now put their shoulders to the wheel, and put the
ball in motion, and the work will be done. It is
tho wonder of enteprising men in other States that
it has not been done long ago. The completion of
this Rail Road will supply a link in the great
Northern and Southern chain of travel, which the
necessities of the public demand, and which the
interest of the people living on the route, and
those of Charleston and Augusta, should prompt
them to supply. As an investment of funds, and
a matter of speculation, we believe every dollar in
vested in the stock of this Rail Road will he well
laid out. Every man that will examine the Map,
will see that the Road will be directly on the great
Metropolitan line of travel, and will connect the
two great systems of Rail Roads in Georgia.' Un
der these circumstances, the travel that will pass
over it will be immense, and the stock must he
good. A subscription book can be found at the
Recorder Office, and John II. Brown, Arthur I.
Butts, and James Herty, are Agents, authorized
to receive subscriptions. Wo urge it upon the
citizens of Baldwin, to take stock and set a good
example to other counties. Let those who cannot
take many shares take a few, or even one, hut all
take some, aud help ou a work of so much impor
tance to themselves and the public.

Editors Federal Union—
Gentlemen: In your last issue, I noticed a com
munication over the signature of “Many Voters,”
suggesting the names of several gentlJmen (and
among them I find mine,) as candidates for Justi
ces of the Inferior Court. I avail myself of the
earliest opportunity to announce to the citizens of
the county, that 1 am no candidate, and will not
serve if elected. I make this public announce
ment in order that another name may be substitu

Milledgeville, Dec. 23rd, 1850.
Blind with Rage.—A huntsman, riding
furioasly over a fence to a scarecrow, in
coat, hat and pantaloons, cried out, “You
great fool, what the duee do you stand
pointing there for? Why don’t you holler
out which way the Fox be gone? Blowed
if I don’t cut you into hits!”
The Brunswick Herald says that cotton has
been received in that place, by railroad, from Ham
ilton county, Florida.
tonton road extended, as it will he in time to the
Georgia road, and the Annual Sessions of the Leg
islature, Milledgeville will, must flourish. Now,
1 repeat, is the propitious hour to strike for lier an
effective blow. Will it be struck? Will the people
of the county come up and strike a blow for her,
and at the same time a blow that will relieve them
selves from the shackles of oppressive frieghts on
all they sell and all they buy? Let those who can
subscribe their thousands, do so; and let those
who can subscribe only hundreds; not keep back.
And what can or ought the city to do, to save her
self and secure her ultimate prosperity? She
should be controlled by no timid, penny wise and
pound foolish counsels. She ought to do ail she
can.
Will the road pay? Will the stock bo good?
No intelligent, sensible man can doubt it. When
the road is completed, its stock will unquestion
ably he worth its cost. It ought, and will pro
bably take, over two years to build it. The loss
of interest on the stock subscribed for that period,
is all that need be anticipated, and that, in time,
may be more than made up by the premium value.
But it may be objected, that by our action we
may offend Savannah. The answer is, we act on
the principle, “not that we lote Csezar less, but
Rome more;” that while we commend Savannah
for what she has done for herself and the State,
that her noble efforts ought to stimulate us to imi
tate her example. She is entitled to our prefer
ence as a market, but has no right to expect it, ex
cept on tho condition of mutual benefit. At pres
ent, the planters of Georgia alone, on the single
article ot cotton, pay to the Central Railroad an
nually, a tribute of over $100 000, from which
they would be relieved by the construction of a
road, competing with it, lo Augusta.
Latf Earthquake in the Miditerraneau.
Letters from Rhodes,of the 31st of Oc
tober, state that ever since the 12th of Oc
tober slight shocks of earthquake have
been constantly experienced at that
Island, causing great fear among the in
habitants.
Accounts from Canea, of the 26th
ultimo, in the Porta foiglo Maltese, gives
further particulars of the frightful effects
of the late earthquake in Candia. The
official returns have been published. Of
about 4,000 houses only nine remained un
injured. The deaths in the town number
ed 600, and in the country more than 1,-
600. The number wonnded is not stated.
The villiage of Ajo Mims was completely
destroyed; of 200 inhabitants 50 were kill
ed. The Turkish Government have caused
to be erected 2000 tents outside the city,
and Mr. Woodward, English engineer, has
been sent for to construct liuts for those
who have been deprived of shelter. There
was, however, a great want of wood. It is
said Mr. Woodward will be desired to
draw out a design for the new town, which
will be built according to European ideas.
The details ofthe catastrophe is very dis
tressing. In one case a woman was discov
ered alive under the fallen ruin. She
had mariculously preserved by a beam
falling in such a manner as to leave
a small space, where she remained eight
days without food, before being discover
ed.
During this time she gave birth to a
child, which was also alive. Another wo
man was being delivered when the earth
quake commenced. The husband and
three women who were attending her tied.
On the husband returning after the panic
was over, on removing the ruins of his
house, he found his wife, with her child in
her arms, alive in a corner of one of the
rooms, which had only partly fallen in.—
During the awful moment she had been
safely delivered. Some of the scenes are
Among the list of laws passed by the last Leg
islature of South Carolina, we notice “An act to
aid in the construction of the Charleston and Sa
vannah railroad.
The Caddo Gazette says Dr. D. Tay
lor an intelligent gentleman of Lanesport
Ark., gives it as his opinion that there are
100,000 bales of cotton above the raft
and that some planters have four crops
on hand. Seventy-five flat-boats are be
ing built at Lanesport and above.
Arezonia.
As the new Territory formed out of the Gadsden
purchase from Mexico, has sent a delegate to Con
gress, and will ere long perhaps apply for admis
sion as a State into the Union, we avail ourselves
of the following description for the benefit of our
readers, which we find in the Baltimore American:
“The new region which under this title is ask
ing of Congress the privileges of a territorial or
ganization and government, embraces the territory
in the northern part of Mexico acquired by the
Gadsden purchase, in addition to the Messilla val
ley, which was claimed in virtue of a previous
treaty, and with it comprises a territory of twen
ty-nine thousand square miles, an area sufficient
fora good sized State. A ‘want of water, a scar
city of soil, an excess of gravel, a superfluity of
serpents and a paucity of population’ are said to
he the distinguishing characteristics of the Gads
den purchase, which is the some part of the con
tinent that Benton described as so poor that a wolf
could not live there. Its friends, however, claim
that its sterilty is compensated for by its extraor
dinary mineral riches. Gold, silver and copper are
claimed to be found there in profusion, but there
ore others who intimate that the mines of Arezo
nia will bo as hard to find as those of Gardiner
memory ; and that what the territory possessed of
mineral riches has long ago been exhausted by the
profuse wasteful system of mining pursued by the
Mexicans. The territory possesses a more sub
stantial interest as the preferred route of the South
ern line of railroad to the Pacific. It has been
traversed by wagons from Rio Grande to the head
of the Gulf of California. The distance from the
Rio Grande to San Diego, by this route is about
sixteen hundred miles. The petitioners for the
erection of this new Territory asserted that the
range of mountains separating Arezonia from East
ern New Mexico deprive them to very great ex
tent of the protection of the Territoral Govern
ment against the ravages of the Indians. Otero,
delegate from New Mexico, is opposed to the for
mation of a Territorial Government, on the ground
that it will thereby reduce the population, and de
lay the admission of New Mexico into the Union
as a State.
How the Slavery Question was met in Pennsylva
nia hy the Democratic Party in the late election.—
Humphrey Marshall, of Kentucky, and bis aboli
tion friends in Congress, agree wonderfully in their
assaults upon the democratic party. Marshall
makes an accusation, and Galnsha A. Grow, a very
black republican, comes forward and offers himself
as a witness to prove it. Of all Marshall’s exper
iments, however, the most unworthy is the charge
that the democracy of Pennsylvania, in the late
canvass, did not pursue a consistent course on the
Kansas issue; and iu this, as we said yesterday,
he imitates the example of Trumbull and Hale in
the Senate in their attacks on Senator Bigler. Now,
there is no man in the Union who had a better op
portunity to satisfy himself as to the course of the
democratic party in the late canvass than this
same Humphrey Marshall. If he read the papers
with any degree of care, lie must have seen in no
State, North or South, were the great issues more
thoroughly discussed than in Pennsylvania, and
nowhere did the democratic party occupy a more
decided and unequivocal position It is true that
there were democrats who expressed a wish that
Kansas might be a free State, just as there were
democrats in other sections who expressed a wish
that Kansas might be a slave State; indeed, it is
of record that many of the southern members of
Congress, while the Kansas bill was under discus
sion in the House, prophesied that Kansas would
be a free State; but as to proffer being made, in any
authoritative manner, to conciliate fanaticism by
promising that Kansas should be a free State, we
deny it, and call upon Mr. Marshall or any other
man to produce any evidence to sustain such an
allegation.
The democratic party stood upon the great prin
ciple of the bill, and fordoing so were accused by
Mr. Marshall’s present confederates, the Grows,
the Hales, and the Burlingames, of being sold to
the South, and of being committed to the exten
sion of slavery. Any public speaker who attemp
ted to show that the operation of the principle as
serted in the Kansas-Nebraska act would bring
peace to both Territories, and, if permitted to work
without violent interposition on either hand,
would result favorably to the free States, was cuff
ed dowu as an imposter, and denounced in terms
.of personal abuse. Humphrey Marshall, as
southern man, should feel proud that the princi
ples of the federal constitution were so efficiently
defended in the late canvass in Pennsylvania;
he should have the manliness to come forward and
to avow that at no time had a great issue been
more boldly and more signally met; but he pre
ferred the other’position, and rejoices in being abl6
to do injustice to the only national party in exis
tence by calling forward to support bis assaults
the very men whom he knows to be solemnly and
cruelly committed against the people of tho
South.— Pennsylvanian.
