ed of Ins Slauglster letter, in which he
“ precipitiHe the cotton States into revolution,’©and
that he fins’ not oniy rta;eded®jfrom tlie position he
took in that letter, but that%e is now engaged in
saving the Union, by supporting Breckenridge and
©)
sLane. Let how much truth this contains.—
Mr. Yancy lias just published another letter irx which
lie says®
“ I did write it. (the Slaughter letter!) It was
private—not designed publication, #ud tlfegeforc
its expressionsi9re loose and not as xvell weighed as
I would have desired. Still, there is not ai g idea in
it that Ido not now entertain.'” @ @
that look lil*r receding from or taking i>ack
what he said in the Slaughter letter ? ®lle says he
entertains the same ideas noxf. AVe are to undfr
stad therefoi Mr. Yancey is -still endeavoring
to “ precipitate the ci#ton revolution.”
llow can the party escape the odium
of disunion, wheifet/icy admit yiat thej®werc led Off at
Charleston arn^ Baltimore by eliis same i'ancey?
Their very name (Seceders) indicates their positi^i,
an l what more does Union men and lovew of their
country want, than the above to convince them of
© ®
the evil designs of the Breckenridge party. If they
will not believe such plainjvroof, what use is it to
address them qg intelligent discriminating men ? If
the free pcpole of the United States are that much
blinde-i by party prejudice, (th# all ex
cuses,) then there is very little hope for the country
*nnder the liHist favorable circumstances, for S’nij

If wo corner a Breckenridge man on his plat
form he w ill reply by saying Bell and Everett ,|iave
?i£ platform. This is a weak wasr#of getting out of
a serious difficulty to say the least of it; but per
fectly despicable when urged against the truth. No
man would use it Q xvho had any self respect, or otl^r
1 resource, and we tliereforesct those down, who use
o o o o
it, as reckless of veracity and destitute of all other
Q
means of defense. o
oNow ®it is known that the Constitutional Uuion
party adopted for their platform? c °
“The Coustitufion of the Country, the Union
the States and the enforccxient of the Laws.”
o
. enforcement of “ irhat lairs,” we cjire some
times asked by our opponents? 0 “ the odious laws now*
iu torce in the territories against the rights of the
South : o We answer all such boobies and nincom
poops, that Bell and Everett will undertake to en
force all cunstiiutional laws whenever passed and
f, and beneficial to the people. °I S that satisfactory ?
No raan honest motives would aslfthe question,
for such men would invariably take it for granted,
and have no. need of asking. The records of Bell
and Everett are sufficient to guarantee this without
any assurance on our part. We consider all such
means of defense as a sort gs begging of the ques- !

They say the Federal Govern
ment ought to protect ptppertg wherever iis jurisdic
tion extends as well as the Sccedorjg ? Bia there be :
any warfare between them on thatftscoift therefore ? @

weather, about one \*eck ago, there happened what
heretofore lias teen an unheard of tiling in the vi
cinity of my residence. We had a hard blolv of
wind. think it c?me from N. W. There*are sev

passed, that so wilted and dried up leaves that
they oa?i now be ribbed into snuft # Judge Pace of,
j Covington, lost about eight acres of Cotton. Seve
ral otisers lost a portion of theirs. oFrom what 1 can
learn, rme single bllst of the fiery o element passing by
seems to have doge the work of destruction. The
negi <>T“s on one ol the farnft either saw the breeze,
or think they did, as it passed, partaking somewhat
in color of the appearance of fire. One gentleman
v°is_caught in tlie edge of one of those heated bhfcts,
ami as so heated by the passing touch of it, that
he i%oove£cd his breath only by running out of it.
When it struck the trees or bushes, 1 am told it crisp

hot, and so dry, that nearly all the corn tops are
