A Phenomena.
Our citizens were visited on the night
j”f the 22d, with an unusual phenomena,
i *Ve know not what to term it, whether
Spiritual or political, though it is evident
ly the result of human skill, and industry.
[ There is such a magic spell which covers
and surrounds the whole operation, that
we are frank to confess our superstition
is somewhat aroused, nnd we arc still in
doubt. There Inis been diligent inquiry
made, but no information can be obtained
as to its origin ; tlicre cannot be found
: a man who struck a lick, or pulled a rope;
i but the thing is unquestionably a reality.
| Some soy that it wus the growth of night
operators, nnd consequently the dark lan•
. tern boys did it ; but this will not explain
I i', for it palpably smacks of a different
I service , The democratic boys when
charged with it say, wc deny the charge,
j and demand the proof. Tims one, and all,
stand out in bold relief, and say—
“Shako not thy horns at me, thou canst
j not say I did it.' *
But the fact is, that on the morning
! after said night., thero was a Liberty Foie
| found erected on the square, which, like
gourd grew between the sitting and
rising of the sun,
It is some fifty or sixty feet high, capped
with a noble pair of Buck-dioras, just be
j ncuth there is floating the Stur-spaugled
j banner, accompanied with two streamers
! on one is the motto, “Buchanan & Brack-
I enridge,” on the other, “We poked ’em

A PrcsMlenlial Calculation.
1 Altering slightly a calculation to |
1 the probable result of the Fiesidcutial
j election, as made by the Canton (Miss.) j
American Citizen, we adopt it in the f 1 |
I lowing form, ns presenting to our mind
\ the most rational nnd candid estimate
that can be made from all the data now
at hand ;
Fremont will probably carry the fol
lowing Sla’cs : Maine, 8 votes ; Wis !
• eonsin, 5; Rhode island, 4; Vermont,
5; Michigan, ft; lowa, 3; Ohio, ‘23;
Connecticut, ft ; Ncv ilamsbire, 5 ; 111-
i inois, II ; .Massachusetts, 13. In all,
B‘J Electoral votes —a most liberal cal*
i eolation for Fremont.
Fillmore will probably carry New
York, 35 ; New Jersey, 7 ; Louisiana.
6; California. 4 ; Delaware, 3; Ken
j lucky, 12 ; Tennessee, 12 ; Maryland, 8.
In all 87 votes. Every candid man must
! admit that the strongest probability ex
i ists that Mr. Fillmore will cany every one
[of sheso'Stntcs and perhaps more ; but
; we are putting it at the lowest.
Buchanan will probably carry Virgin
ia, 15 ; North Cnrolinin, 10 ; South Car
olina, S; Georgia. 10; Alabama, 0;
Mississippi, 7 ; Missouri, 9 ; Arkansas.
4 ; Texas, 4 ; Indiana, 13 In nil, 89
Electoral votes.
Very close and doubtful—Pcnnsylva.
ilia, 27, and Florida, 3.
j Necessary to a choice, 149
Commenting on the above calculation,
| the “Enquirer’’does not entirely give np
Georgia and Virginia, to go against Fill
more, for Buchanan ; ‘and thinks that
Buchanan will carry Connecticut over
Fremont, and that Massachusetts, which
is also given to Fremont, will go for Fill
more.

The Presidential Flection.
The following is a summary of the laws
nnd constitutional requirements in the e
lection ol a President and Vice President :
1. F.lector* etee'ed on the first Tnesday
after the first Monday in November.
2 Electors meet on the first Wednes
day in December nnd cast their votes
They then sign three certificates—send a
messenger with one copy to the President
of the Senate at Washington before the
first Wednesday in January—another by
mail to the same person, and the third
deliver to the United States District
Judge where electors meeti
3. Each State provides by law for fill
ing any vacancy in the Board of Eelcc
tors occasioned by absence, death or re
signation. Such of the electors as ara
present are generally authorized to fill
any vacancy.
4 The Governor gives notice to Elec
tors of their election before the first
Wednesday in December.
5. On the second Wednesday in Feb
ruary, Congress shall be in session and
open the returns. The President of the
Senate shall, in the presence of the House
of Representatives, open the certificate
of returns, and count the votes. The
person having the greatest number of
votes for President, if such number be n
majority of the whole number of electors,
shall be the President.
6. If no person lias a majority as above,
tho choice is to be made from the three
highest returned. The membets of the 1
House, by State, form themselves into j
Electoral Committees, and the majority |
determine which is to be the choice of the
State—each State having only ono vote
7. If neither of the candidates get a
majority of the States before the 4th of
March, then the Vice President shall nci
as President.
8 If the people do not elect through
their Electors a Vice President, then the
Sena'e of the United States shall make
the election front the two highest candi
dates returned to them by the Electors.

For llir Reporter.
Mr Editor: Asa Southern man, ed
itor of a Southern paper, devoted to |
Southern interests, I claim, in common
with others, a portion of the space which
yon allow to desultory writers in the
columns of the Reporter My object is
not to pretend to enlighten, but to sug
gest a few idea* in the-c times when the
waters are troubled by the angel—not ;
of peace—but of discord.
We hear of politicians, here and there,
threatening imminent danger to the lives,
I roperty and general interests of the
>outhe;n people. One says a civil war
J is inevitable ; another, it is better for us
| to separate ; a third, if Fremont is elect
ed we are doomed ; a fourth says, Fill
more alone can save us ; a fifth, no, old
; Busk is the man to spread his wings over j
our liberties, and burl defiance at our |
foe-'. These feelings, in a great measure,!
are pernicious. Who cere* for the pnb-l
’ lie avowals, pledges or promises of office
hunting politicians? Voted for to-day, 1
next week in Milledgcviile or Washing
‘ton, they would not know you. Office
; seekers are always ungrateful—they hate
to acknowledge indebtedness to their con
stituents. It was their intrinsic worth
ami superior talents alone that done all
, for them. Now, the election is approach
ing ; it is the duty of every man (who
can do so legally! to vote freely, disinter
estedly, and untrammelled by party, for
that man amongst the candidates whom
he thinks best calculated, morally and in
tellectually, to guard, protect and per
l>etiiate the Constitution inviolate, the
| Government general, and respected at
i home and abroad ; the union of all to be
j happy, free nnd lasting ; who knows no
North or South, but who is willing, a pa
-1 rent, fond ami affectionate, anxious to
promote the good of ail,
There is no need for the Sonth to feel
alarmed. She did not steal her slaves—
they were forced upon her ; and they
have now become her inheritance. She
did not create slavery—God did it. His
law ij immutable until time shall cease to
be. As Gamaliel said of Christianity,—
“This thing is from God, it will stand ;
if from men, it will fall ” It is from God,
it will stand ; and all the Preachers in
New England, or money in old England
cannot alter “one tittle of the law uutil
all be fulfilled.”
One would think that the South is in
:in agony, and only wants a delivery of
| her property. Let the fanatics of the
North rave in their club rooms, in their
bar rooms, in the places designed fur ho
lier purposes; still they cannot eff-ct
anything, either by words or blows, for
the SoiUh has had, and still has, her de
fenders in every path that leads to the
Temple of Fame, whether in the Senate,
tiie canvass, or the Hall. Let the South
act the lion’s part, who catches from the
herd a buffalo or deer, and is quietly en
joying it, when some beasts, more unwor
thy ihan himself, on account of their num
bers, endeavor to deprive him of it. He
bears with their annoyances for awhile,
tmtd at length aroused, he gives a howl
and a spring, and conscious of his
strength, might and right, he defies them
to the contest, when sdeutly and quietly
l hey all retreat, aware too, that (he prey I
belonged to him, and that tifey had no
right to interfere There is a nobleness
in fighting for onr rights, when necessity
compels us ; hut there is also a dignity in
waiting for the exact time—there is also
a wisdom in foreseeing threatening evil,
and in guarding against it.
To abolish slavery, it would be neces
sary to break np the Constitution, and ia
order to do this, the General Govern
ment must declare that what the South
had, and a portion of which the immortal
Washington owned, is illegal property—
that those whom God has marked, man
must unmark. As yet, the Constitution
stands, the General Government sup
ports the Constitution, nnd the Constitu
tion guaranties (and justly, for her honor,
money and blood, with her talent,) to the
South her rights to hold now what the
Southern fathers of the Revolution own
ed, held and protected, when the North
and South formed th|s only charter of
freedom that ever ea4l a halo es Free
dom and glory over an oppressed and
down-trodden world. The business of
the South is to vote boldly for the man,
then, in whom, when elected, the Consti
tution, Government and general freedom
of this Republic, with its millions of in
habitants, will be maintained.
On the battle field, when men, for the
protection of their Country’s rights,
march to meet their common foe, they
ask no questions as to each other’s feel
lings in politics or religion, but when the
: trumpet sounds the charge, one general
! shout, and rush shoulder to shoulder, they
meet their enemy, breast to breast, and
by their united strength they conquer*.
So it should be now ; if there i- duu
ger to the South anticipated from the
North, the South must unite, and ask no
opinions as to politics and religion, but
at once boldly ru-h to the ballot-box and
vote for the man who is best able for
four years to wield the sword of State, to
sway the destinies, not only of the mil
lions now liviug in freedom, but of the
countless millions yet unborn, who mu-t
enjoy its blessings too, unless the present
age is false to all that is patriotic and en
nobling iu human nature —though fanati
cism anarch.sin or Covetousness wotihl, iu
order to see themselves elevated, trample
upon the mangled bixiies of the glorious
martyr* who died to gain the liberty which
now seems so little r. lued. Maj the elo
vatioii of Haaiuu be their lot, who wish
despotism, monarchism, or any other urn
to triumph in the downfall of the peace,
freedom and prosperity of a country which
Rome :n her palmiest days never equal

Pa.vther Killed. — A Panther meas
uring nine feet from tip to tip, was killed
in twelve miles of this place, near the
foot of the mountain, a few days since by
a lad about 12 years old. His father
had sent him out to drive up the cattle;
he had not proceeded far before he heard
the cattle bellowing at a tremendous rate
and making in the direction of home.—
He quickened his pace, with'guo iu hand
when in about sixty ynr Is of the cattle lie
discovered something squat, leaving no
thing but its head visible, w!;ic i he sup
posed was a deer ; he immediately drew
a bead and fired, the bull taking effect in
the upprr pordon of the skull. With
buoyant hopes he approached his game,
but the death struggle and tremendous
screams of the monster proved to the lad
that it was more “healthy” to return for
additional help— Delonega Signal.

we coming to ! Tha following is from a
Crawfordville, Indiana paper. Read it,
and be astonished :
“The doctrine that has been so boldly
advocated by the leaders of the abolition
psrtv during the last year, That a negro
was as good as a white man,’ has become
with a majority ot the members ol that
party, a fixed fact. No longer than last
week a man residing in the vicinity of
Orbelin College, in the State ol Ohio,
gave his only danghter in marriage to a
sooty African who had been educated at
this Abolition institute. This man we
understand, is a State Elector on the Fre
mont ticket, and regards the negro at tus
equal. The young lady is described as
being extremely beautiful and but sixteen
years of age, while her dusky lord is
blanket than the darkest midnight.”
