THE SPIRIT OF l776.

The friends OF Freedom in the South
seem to be alarmed for the safety of ouI
institutions; but we believe there is among
the people redeeming spirit which viii
sustain the Constitution without resort
to arms. The ballot box will eflectualIy
guard and protect our rights against the
arts Of designing dcmagogues. There
are thousands who have heretofore been
mere spectators OF the struggle Tor power
and Office, but who in this hour OF danger
will be arrayed in defence of the Constl-
tuition. The following observations from
the Baltimore Chronicle Indicate high
state of excitement in that quarter.
The people haze petltioned, and they
have laid their petitions at the feet OF the
President. lie has told them to 20 home
and mlnd their business; that he had re-
solved that his experiment should be tried;
aud that he was immovable IN his deter
mInation. What remains To be done!-

MECHANICS. We remember no period
in which the mechanics took so deep an
interest in political affairs as they are ta-
king now. 1t is good sign when men
who, as body, are capable Of Judging so
correctly, throw themselves forward in
behalf Oft suffering and halt ruined coun-
try. Mechanics are practical citizens. -
They reason justly, aid when they do act,
act conclusVely. This body of citizens
has had paid TO 1t, high and merlted COIN

Foremost in our councils at home, and
