A few words will reiule the long column oil
argument in the Republican. That paper says
that because the Enquirer sustained Van bufen
who believed in The consi,ulionalily oil Inc aoo-

has, therefore, no RICH, to complain OF Fillmore.
Now the Republican should recollec' that Van

pose, and, while President, he was SO true to
Southern rights, that Mr.. Webster styled him,

THE FRIENDS OF THE SOUTH.

The Charleston Mercury publishes from the
Providence Journal, the leading Wing paper Of
Rhode Island, the following "very explicit Ian
guage, in speaking of the sympathies of the
Wing and Democratic parties in reference TO the
Abolition movement:
"The Wing party is the best Free Soil party.
IL tho Aboiiionists had not defeated the Wings
in 1874, the extension of slavery, which has
already taken place, and the greater extension
which is menaced, would have been prevented.
Throughout its whole history, the Wing party
has been the party of freedom. II has main

principles of their political organization, and
not by momentary spam of malice and revenge.
The Free Soil men are playing ever again pre-.
csely the game which The Aboitonists played
in 1914. THE ELECTION OF CAss WOULD RI THE

men forget the course of the Democratic party
during the space of more than thirty years.
When the Tariff was held up to US, and our mo
tives impugned by cotton spinners and iron
masters, and the presses under their muni6cent
patronage, we batlled year after year until the
nuisance was abated, and the planters were
placed on something more like an equality with
their Northern oppressors. When sXtravagant
systems of public expenditure we're devised for
the exhaustion Of the National Treasury, in or
der that the deficit might justify renewed taxa

iicular race of pigs called :" Divers' has been

able for their ability to dive and for The length

power in this way seems to increase with

served TO remain under water more than thir-
" minutes. An ordinary pig is drowned in
less than one minute, as ascertained by ex-
pertinent. The peculiarities OF the diving
pigs are supposed to result from long pTac-
tice, and physical change, transmitted from
generation TO generation. The reason why
they remain so long under water is, that they
may there devour their food which is in dan
ger OF being taken from them by other pigs
which frequent the shore. The young Of
this ambhioious breed take 10 the water with
great alacri'y at an early age, and soon learn
to dive. Nor do they strike their throats with
