LEGEND OF THERIDER's LEAP

LEGEND OF THE RIDERS LEAP.
Shortly after the Revolution, treaty
was concluded at the 0conee Station be-
tween our people and the Cherokeos.
These Indians, as was their want on such
occasions, had collected ingreat numbers
to watch the progress of the treaty, when
the negotiations had nearly been broken
off and hostilties renewed, by the occur
renee of one of those scenes of summary
revenge so common in those troubled
times
About noon of the sixth day, after the
chiefs and commissioners had mot, sin
gle horseman, whose long grey hair, fall
ling in loose disorder about his shoulders.
and whose pale huggard face and blood
shot eyes combined with his manly and
almost youthful form, to give him more
the appearance of a phantom Knight of
old romance than that of a being of flesh
and blood, was seen making his way slow
ly among the Indians, passing from group
to group and gazing into every counten-
ance with a wild, eager look that startled
the stoutest warriors and sent chill to
the bravest hearts. AT length he paus-
ed near group seated on log drinking
rum and smokieg tobacco, and as his
glance fell on the principal figure there,
his frame trembled and his pale face lit
up with grim and gastly smile grew,
twas said, like the awful conception of
death personi6ed. But this continued
only fora moment, for In the next the keen
crack Of his rifle startled the ear, and
a chieftain lay in mortal agonies, then a
solitary laugh was heard mmgEng strange
ly with the groans Of the dying man, a
cruel mocking laugh, and the stranger
was bounding rapidly away.
Instantly the war-whoop rang from
hill TO hill and thousand warriors were
following his track; onward they drove
pursuers and pursued, and when in the
madning chase, they drew near the noun
tain stream, which here with deep and
rapid current rushes along between pre-
cipitous and rocky banks, the yells of the
sayages grew louder and more terrible,
for now, imagining escape impossible,
they began to enjoy the sweets of antici-
pated revenge. But the Rider rode fear
iessly on and dashing boldly up to the
brink with one bound of his noble steed
cleared the dangerous pass. Then again
was heard that hollow unearthly laugh,
and as the strange man disappeared in the
trackiess wilderness, one wild terrific yell
of baffied rage burst from the sayages,
rang through the woods, echoed in the
hollow passes of the mountains, was an
swered by the scream of the eagle and
the low howlings Of the startled wolf and
all was still. ssaS f'4f
The Rider was never heard of more,
and men conjectured he perished in the
chase that day; in after times, they told
strange tales of his suffering life, how its
morning arose in the beauty of hope, and
how sorrows obscwedsits promising day,
as tho night shuts out the suhbeams from
the flowers ard leaves them alone j. the

PLAIN TALK.

Ehere seems to be little doubt but that n
large portion of the North either think that the
South is testing as to the position assumed on
the qoestion of Slavery, or that wo are SO
chicken-hearted that few blasts from their
guns will drive us to submission. They will
find that they're egregiously n,istskeni in either
case. but we fear that knowledge will come
too late. Read this which we clip from the
Daily Wisconsin: n pie 4stSs
"Shonld the next Congress pass the
Territorial bills, as we think that 1t viii,
with Jefferson's memorable Ordinance
and should the Hotspurs of Virginia and
South Carolina attempt to resist that
law, the President will have to order
few regiments of the volunteer COM
panies, or of the U. States Troops, to
Charleston and Richmond, and, if need
be, to seize or shoot the traitors. We
have no doubt that the public opinion,
not merely of the Union, but of Virginia
and South Carolina, would sustain this
decisive action"
He is sadly mistaken as to public sentiment
IN the South; never were people more united
or more determined, as the sequel will prove.
But if our Northern friends desire TO carry
matters to the extreme, they will find that the
South is not only prepared, but willing to de
fend her rights and institutions. We have
planted ourselves ON the platform Of the Con-
sttution, and byit are resolved to live or die

of the Northern Abolitionists upon the
feelings Of the people of the South, and
opposed their every attempt at unjust
at unconstitutional interference. We
would oppose, with equal zeal and firm
ness, any attempt on the part of the Sonth
to interfere with the domestic policy of
the North; and for the same reason, WE
GO FOR THE Union AND THE CoNsTrrU-
r1os, and for the rights, the just interests,
and the equal protection of ALL SECTIONS
OF THE COUNTRY, and for the non.in-
reference of each in the affairs of the
Others"
The allegation that we have done Gen. Cass
injustice by stating that the democrats of Iowa
had adopted his principle of non.interferencc
we think sufficiently answered by the above
they are opposed to the passage Of the Wilmot
Proviso, on different grounds from Gen. Cass to
be sure, but We repeat with their reasons we
have nothing to do. We would simply add
that we have the pleasure to know that we
gave justice to this Statesman long anterior to
our friend of the Messenger
Confining ourselves to the point at ISSUE we
have given our reasons both for the "commen-
datory" and the "condemnatory" part Of our
article, and now leave the question to our in
tclligent reador, passing in silence the recon-,
mendaton Of the Messenger, and the points
foreign to the issue.

Tn. N,e.rsgaa Question.


The following additional remarks Of the London Times
on this subject which appear in the paper OF the 2ls ut
are deserving of attention;
We have already entered at considerable length upon
the views taken by the British government rather BY
Lord Palmerson, with reference 10 The rights oil the State
OF Nicaragua and the Independence Of the Mosquito
coast But though Lord Pamerston has expressed his
opinion on the subject with great decision, and has dis
tnc,ly intimaied that Her Majestys government must

the clear and premptory conviction on the subject
as the foreign minister, and shall be glad TO learn by
hat additional evidence and by what reasoning he in
tends support the position 10 which he has pledged the
honor Of the government OF this country Lord Pal.
for inaccurate statements and unienabe arguments, that
we not disposed to accept his decision on point OF
this importance without fuller consideration; for the
interest he may suppose TO have in the river OF San
Juan de Nicaragua UNNECESSARILY surpassed BY the in
teres OF remaining at peace with the United States, by
lending our assistance and encouragement TO the project
OF the canal
Il will be remembered that the put forward by Mr.
Chatfeld and adopted by Lord Palmerson the basis
OF the rights OF the Mosquito tribe OF Indians 10 the
coast which bears their and the river OF San Juan,
rested first mmemoral possession, and, secondly,
the sovereignty they have exercised for at least two CEN
tures under the protectorate OF this country It's
doubleday true that these relations had long existed be-
tween the British authorities in the West Indies and the
natives OF the coast to which traders repaired for the
purpose OF cutting dyewoods and mahogany These rea-
lions gave great umbfage to Spain, and had indeed al
one time contributed TO actual war between the two
crowns II cannot, however, have escaped Lord Pal
merston's notice, for the instrument was expressly
quoted by the Nicaraguan minister that in 1850 treaty
was concluded between Spain and Great Britain oil which
