ALEXANDRIA, ID. c.
TUESDAY MORNING. JUNE 8, 1880.

Nem Poper-We have received the first num-
Der of the Gambler Ohio Observer, a religlous
newspaper. oubIished at Kenyon College, under
the editorial charge of Bishop CHASE, the found
.r and u~ntir;no advocate of that institution. We
observe that one of its publishers was formerly a
respectable and industrious citizen of our town.
The paper is very neatly printed, and contains
much original and we'll written religious matter.
We wish it every success, and think it deserves
the attention., especially of Episcopalians.

The Soufh.-Eyery davis observation convin-
ces us that the Disunion Party Is confined
entirely to the State of South Carolina, and
that disafection can never spread IN the South
ern country. In South Carolina. the fever.
we believe, is high, but it is not Infectious, and
the contagion has not vet crossed its BORDERS
We have abundant evidence of this. The dis
organizers cannot look to Virginia for support
What says that oracle of State rights the Rich
mond Enquirer:
''While we have such weapons as Truth placed
in our hand, such champions as are now railylngu I'M
der the Banners of the constitution and the prin-
ciples of Free Trade. such prospects as the rap
id extinction of the Public Debt open upon US,
ought we to rush into such a scheme OF dismem-
DCTutut DIS me EuStItiu phPSi P'olooS7'
Ought we to despair of the Republic. We say to
him Pause: pause, for Heavens sake pause"
Other prints in Virginia, holding the same prln-
ciples with regard to the General Government,
are INFINITELY more decisive in dlscOuntenanclng
the \ullifyers. North Carolina too IS perfectly
sound. The Raleigh Register in reply to a ques-
ton in the Charleston Mercury, as to whether
the delegates from North Carolina represented
the feelings of their constituents IN Withdrawing
and refusing to vote on Mr.. Buchanan's amend
ment to Mr.. Mallary's Tariff bill, answers
eve say without hesitation, never were the
feelings & opinions ola state, more misrepresented
by her Representatives, than was North-Carolina,
on the occasion alluded to. We honestly be-
lieve, there are not one hundred persons in the
State who will either sanction their conduct Or
the disappointing doctrines of the Mercury"
The Fayetteville On. c. Observer on the
same subject declares
'In thisState we hayepleasure in saying, that,
so far as We have heard. this rash act of the
Southern Members has been almost universally
disapproved of. Indeed we have heard but a
single individual express a different sentiment.
This act may give the party in South Carolina
some idea of the support they are likely to re,
ceive from this State, should they ever proceed to
the extremities which have been threatened :"
In Georgia also, the principles of attachment
to the Union prevail. and Notwithstanding the
objections of the people to the Tariff, the oppo-
sition is entirely Of a peaceable, constitutional,
and rational nature. The Southern (Milledge-
| ville) Recorder says
"Unjust and oppressive as this Tar1ffact is we
do not believe its execution will be forcibly re.
sisted in Ssntb-C Carolina, and we are sure it will
not i'll Georgia-the evil is Il sore one, but ifthis
be the only remedy, we should say, without hest.
tation, in the words of the poet,
ITS better TO bear the ills We hare,
Than fly TO Others That we know not off,"
We might make extracts from other infuen.
tial prints in Georgia to the same effect.
In other sections of the Union where the Ia
riff is condemned, the mad and reasonable
schemes of the Disunion Party in South Carroll.
ma, are reprobated. The New York Courier
and Enquirer holds this language
"South Carolina ever extremity this
State may proceed to in relation to the Tariff,
we feel satisfied that Virginia, Georgia and North
Carolina, will not join here In the violent crusade
she is meditating. The dignity and moderation
IF Virginia, the honor and truth of Georgia, and
| the good sense of North Carolina, will make a
deeper impression on the whole Union, and pro-
duce a more decided reaction in favor of a mod
| %ifcation of the Tariff. than all the clustering of
the indiscreet politicians of South Carolina
This is the general opinion in this quarter. The
| Virginia policy-the Virginian principles. and
the Virginia dignity, as a whole never stood high
er in the nation"
These extracts will go to show that the Uuon
is perfectly safe, and that the Disorganizers of
South Carolina, need look for no assistance
from elsewhere. Even in that State violent and
infammatory as is the language sometimes used,
we cannot yet bring ourselves to believe that the
people are with their politicians. This summer
will, perhaps, determine the question.

Mr.. MD,0fe.-We observe that the late able
and eloquent speech of Mr.. McDuFFIE on the
subject of the Tariff, is extensively copied in the
different sections of the country. Although OPP
posed to much of Mr.. McDufie's reasoning, and
many of his political sentiments, we yet admire
his industry, his talents and his honorable feelings,
and are glad that his constituents have so able a
representative, and one who can so forcibly ex-
press their views and misunderstanding of
Mr.. McDufie's character may be gathered from
his words. as quoted from memory nv a CORES
