= The IssUE.-The Louisiana Statesman SAYS
The advocates Of the measures that have lately
received the sanction of Congress, not satisfied
with having thrown around them the solemnities
Of law, would now dragoon and terrify all who
oppose them. They will not refer to an oppo.
nent Of any or all those measures, the California
Utah, Texas boundary of, or District slave trade
BILL in respectful terms. They will not allow
the freedom of opinion. But they denounce us
all as disunionists. 1.-THE DISTINGUISHES" they
say when speaking of Southern patriots who
believing their country in danger, call for con-
sultation. This is wrong. And we warn them
in advance, to beware. if they be true friends
of the Union they will cease this cry of treason
against as pure, patriotic and faithful men as
themselves, and who are quite as deeply inter-
ested in the peace and perpetuity of the Repub-
lie. Men are not to be terrified by epithets, nor
are they to be tainted with impunity. The
anti-slavery feeling Of the North, universally diff
fused there, has not been appeased by the late
sacrifices extorted from the South. They will
demand and are demanding new concessions
and the South will not submit In a majority
or minority-it is immaterial which-there is
strength enough embodied and embodying-
it will be seen before long that those that assai
every true man as "a disunionist" will have the
worst of the bargain.

Mr.. Berrien.

The Augusta (Ga) Republic states that
public dinner has been rendered by many ci,i-
zens of Lincoln county, to the Hon. JOHN Nc.
PETERSON BERRIEN, Hon. w. T. CoLoulrr and
others, to take place at or near Raysvillc, at
such time as will suit their convenience A
large attendance is expected on the occasion.
From the same paper we learn that Mr.. BER-
RIEN has also accepted the invitation to public
dinner, rendered him by the citizens of Burke
county, "as a testimony of their entire apprecia.
ton Of his potriotic course in support of the
Constitution and equal rights, during the late
session of Congress" The correspondence be-
tween Judge BERR1EN and the Committee Of in
vitation, will be published at an early day. The
dinner will take place on Monday, the 4th day

Not SO Fast.

The Richmond Enquirer claims that the Co.
lumbus (Ga) Times, has descended to the posi-.
ton of a submissive-and claims fraternity.
1t seems that the Times determined to test
the sincerity of the submissionists, who pre-
tend that although they will not resist now, they
will next time. So he offered to unite with them
if they dared to make that pledge, and would
give adequate guarantees to maintain it. He
says it was seen at once that they would not
and could not do it, and the result was to satisfy
some of the most timid opponents of the COM
promise, that there was neither faith nor hope
to be reposed i'll the men who clustered for
$3.50, then backed out-and now buster again.

Direct Trade.

The Charleston Is. Co. Evening Ners says
The New York papers notice, with some
symptoms Of alarm, that several large Southern
capitalists are now in Europe, arranging matters
for direct trade between that country and the
South. We assure them that this is fixed
fact. 1t is the course we are resolved on: it is
the only alliance We contemplate with Great
Britain, whereby to put ourselves in an attitude
of defence, against attacks on our institutions,
from Northern fanatics. 1t will be ciIcctual !;
and limit the empire of cities now growing
wealthy at our expense. There are Northern
presses sagacious enough to see, and frank
enough to acknowledge the result.

Kentucky Spirit.

The following response from the Hopkins
vile Peoples Press smacks of the old Kentucky
spirit We are convinced that such sentiments
are much more common among the people of
that State than the politicians who control the
press care about giving expression to. The
personal popularity of some of these may, for a
time dam up this feeling, but the flood tide will
finally break down all distractions to its free
flow. Kentucky is of the South, and must go
with it, whether veal or woe betide.
ave see it stated that there are but two pa
pers in all Tennessee, one in Nashville, and one
in Memphis, in favor of the rebellious movement
in the South. We believe there is but one in
Kentucky, and that one seems merely to squirt
in the direction of disunion, without being en-
actly willing to travel the road Louisville
Journal.
That cone" paper in Kentucky squints, not
in favor of dsunion, but in favor of the honor,
interests, and constitional rights Of the South,
and will not suffer itself TO be deceived by
home-bred Abolitionists or Yankee Abolition
editors in slave States. Neither will it be BAN
boozed or frightened by the hypocritical howl
of "dsunion," from boldly expressing the be-
lief that Mr. Clay and his satellites in the South
have traded off Kentucky and Southern rights
and interests to Northern fanaticism for the
Presidency. And if the South is to be forever
thus remorselessly sacrificed, piecemoal, to the
bigotry of the North and the unhalowed ambi
ton of her own recreant sons, till at last like
poor Ireland she shall sink into degraded de-
tendency of Massachusetts and Connecticut, i,
were better that she at once, while she is able

equality which can only retard her progress, i'm.

.T The Eufaula, Ala. Democrat has changed
its name to " The Spirit Of The South" From
its article announcing the change, we extract the
following:
awe have determined to alter the title of the
paper. As Wing and Democrat are distinctions
which no longer live in spirit, they should no
longer live in name Let them die, and the
waves of lethe roll over them. Let their obtu-
aries be written and a requiem chaunted for their
souls, until our perilled honor has been vindi-
Gated and our plundered rights restored. For
ourself we pull down the flag then, which has
been for five years floating at the mast head of
our little craft. We run up instead, The
Spirit of The South" These are the colors I'M
der which, henceforth, we sail. We will nail
them to the main top, and signifying union with
all true hearted Southern seamen, and war alone
with Northern pirates and their allies here,
there shall they fly as long our hull shall ride
above the waters"

Foreign views u AInerica.

Some amusing examples Of the idea enter.
tanned Of us abroad, are given by the European
correspondent Of the st. Louis Republican, a
eryintelligent and observing writer. While in
Dresden, he says he purchased copy Of sew
eral constitutions. As comment upon our
own, by DR.. Rauch, a man Of considerablea ability
he found, amongst other curious things, the
following:
aThe President holds his Office during the
term Of four years. But he may be reelected
for two or three successive terms such as, for
instance, George Washington, who remained
President twelve consecutive years.
DR.. Rauch also gave to the President the right
Of filling temporarily the vacancies in the SEN
ate, if any such occur; and on occasion Of ex-
planning that cause prohibiting the passage, by
Congress, of any law &c post tacto, the learned
commentator explains this technical term by,
"for crimes committed very long ago."
Another example given by the writer is the
following: ..o,4 .s...
"A German student at college, in Cologne,
who, belonging to the upper classes, had the
task imposed upon hun to furnish q written
harrangue or address of some sort, by way of
exercise in style and syntax. The youth chose
a fine theme, namely: number Of German emi-
grants, whom he supposes to see passing down
the Rhine, on their way to America, and whom
he addresses respecting their motives and inten-
tons which could induce them to forsake the
land Of their fathers. After many expostula-
tons, which are neither denied or admitted, he
finally branches out upon the subject Of slavery
he represents the iniquty of the institution, the
unhappy lot of the slaves, and the guilty cruel
ties of masters. sAnd that country the orator
continues, you seek across the ocean, to prefer
| it to your dear Observation-Disclosures no sooner
will you be landed, you will be taken up, sold
as slaves, you and your children, to spill your
blood for tattening the crops of black American
barbarians. Know then, if no arguments can
convince you, it is understandable, it is impious
perverseness in you, to voluntarily yield your
liberty to abject slavery" '&t@pg 49,.
One of the professors of the college showed
the writer of this amusing piece of workman
ship, and although he attached no particular
Importance to the little incident, yet, coming, as
it did, from boy who has nearly finished lis
course in one of the best Colleges, it affords a
slight specimen of the crude views Of the lower
order, as we'll as Of the boosted excellence OF
Prussan schools. The comments of the teach
er beneath this article, did not even make allu-
sion to the laundering error into which the
Young man had fallen.

position in which you stand as the Democratic
candidate for Congress in this District, and the
absorbing interest felt by the great body Of our
people in the effort made by the slave interest to
extend slavery, and to strengthen and perpetuate
its power in this Government, makes it important
that your views upon the deeply interesting ques-
tons connected with this subject, should be gen.
orally known. The short time between this and
the election, renders it impossible that you
should meet with any considerable number of
getting your opinions before the public, we re-
spectfully ask for publication, your answer to
the following questions:
lst. Do you acknowledge the constitutional
power of Congress to prohibit by positive law
the extension of slavery into territories of the
nation, and do you recognize the necessity for
the exercise of this power!
Cd. Are you in favor of the exercise by Con-
gress of its whole constitutional power for the
restriction and limitation of slavery? " "
