FREE-soILERs-THE NEXT CoNGREss.-Brass
is very comfortable thing TO some people So
we Judge from the brazen statements by which
the bunker organs labor to wink Free-sosm out
of sight.
Nearly all the last elections in the free States
have gore in favor Of Free soism, or have shown
decided gain OF its influence. Cass has been
completely used up in the northwestern States.
Dickinson has been laid on the shelf in New York.
Webster has received an unmistakeable defeat ia
Massachusetts. These elections indicate public
sentiment, while the so called Union meetings,
indicate the sentiment Of the political, mel camille,
and other Aunkyisms Of New York, Boston, and
other cities.
There are, already, twice many staunch
Freesoiler elected to the next Congress, as there
are in the present. There have been gains at the
West, and in New York. Only ten of the thirty
four New York members just elected, are hunk
ers, and two or three of the ten said to be
doubtful Preston King reelected by a
sweeping majority; and Of the other sixteen
" democrats" elected, eleven are like him. The
Albany Atlas says these eleven members will
stand shout err to shoulder with Preston King, and
fight the battle Of freedom calamity as he fights
it. In Ohio, there is gain of men who have
back bone IN them. No candidate was run against
Mr.. Gddings. in his district The Wings would
not take up Mr.. Root again, although he was a
Wing. But in Roots district, the Democrats and
Free-soilers have elected DR.. Townsend, an old
liberty man, who is honest and true, and who has
backbone as well as head of the best sort.
The elections yet to take place, will add to the
number of Free soers in the next Congress; and
there is now fair prospect that their number in
the United States Senate will be doubled.

MULruM IN PARvo.-There is more truth-more
sound sense, and true philosophyin the following
brief paragraph from the Richmond Examiner
than could well be embodied in the same space
"The greatest danger to the Union is in blind
attachment TO it on the part Of the Southern peo-
people," An important TRUTH that will come
home to the blind zealots for the Union when the
last vestige of State rights shall be obterated
and the Southern States and Southern people be
made the mere dependencies and vassals of great
unchecked and consolidated Government! Alas
alas that the Southern people will not stand upon
their rights:
eve think that every rejecting mind must
come to the conclusion at which ours has arrived
that the greatest danger to the Union is in blind
attachment to it on the part of the Southern peo-
Pile. If, through the powerful agencies to which
we have advered, they should be brought into
submission to the will of their oppressors, the
Union will no longer be in existence. The name,
it is true, will exist as at present. but that will be
all. 1t will no longer be the Union which Wash
ington, Franklin, Jefferson, and other patriots
formed--no more the Tn on that our grandfathers
used to dwell upon with such rapture by their
fresdes, than Il certain miserable, down-trodden,
town, called Rome, marked on the map Of Italy,
is the imperial city Of the world that stood upon
the same spot two thousand years ago. The con-
trast--the fall-wll be as decided in one case, as
it is in the other.
In the present crisis of their fate, the path Of
duty is open to the Southern States. They have
but to recur to the fundamental principles; to de-
mand the fuIflment Of the bond in letter and
spirit; to declare by their acts as well as their
words that they must and will have equality or
independence, and their rights may yet be pre-
served in the Union. We trust that in future
they will pursue the course required by their own
interest and honor, and make the Union as 'glo-
rious to themselves as it is 10 the Northern part
ners of the concern"

THE True PosrrroN.-Daily we see the
Union men coming nearer and nearer to the
brethren who see no future good to arise from
continuance of the Union.
1t appears to be generally agreed that if the
Fugitive slave bill is repealed or modified, anG
some say if it is not carried out in good faith
and if law is passed abolishing slavery in the
District Of Columbia, or interfering with the
slave trade between the States, &c, &c, all will
unite in secession or revolution 50 as to termin.

Now this Is to great extent satisfactory, and
could we be as strong after delay as we are

And so the current sets. 1t would seem like
great want Of foresight and craftsmanship, to
break up our present movement, to wait for the
next demonstration from our enemies.
We lose confidence by division and delay
We lose relative strength and weight in the Con-
federacv. We know that ne W on-slaveholdinc
States will in short time be admitted into the

gaining ground in the border save-holding

sellers and Aboltionists, and we know that the
seductious of the General Government, now in
ant-slavery hands, are daily inducing Southern
men in Congress to dclude and bctray their con-
stituents and knowing all this, we are asked to
wait the result of further agitation, and to re-
ccivc further insult and injury b. fore we resist
1t may be that those who inculcate present
submission are in earnest when they threaten
future and contingent resistance. But it may
be that they assume this attitude to paralyze the
present great Southern movement, and will seek
some preteNt to escape the pledges now made
We doubt those who want another kick.

SOUTH CARoLlNA.-The submission papers in
Georgia arc endeavoring to touch the pocket
nerve of the people, and scare them into subms
sion by making use of some kind of false logic
to prove that if South Carolina secedes from the
Union, that her currency will deprecated. We
believe that if ever South Carolina is driven to
the seeding point, that the moment she steps
out of this Union, the value Of her land and nc
groes will be enhanced, and her money will
bear premium throughout the whole Southern
country. We are not afraid TO take South Car.

RoAD.-The cars that left here this morning on
the Charlotte road with twenty passengers, had
Just entered the trestle at Elkns Mill, distant ten
miles hence, when something discovered
wrong. The engine halted, when two ends OF
the cross-trees gave way, precpitating the train
thirty feet. All the passengers were more or less
injured. Gen. Erwin's arm dslocated, and
his forehead cut. Nicholas Gibson, depot agent
at Winnsborough, and an infant of Mr.. and Mrs.
Powell died from Commissions. A servant Of Mr..

MEN OF PRINcIpLE.-Dr. Rice describes these
men in the following clear and just manner. 81.
They are men whose opinions are the result of
honest, candid inquiry, concerning what Is true
and what is right. 2. They are men whose
convictions are not mere distractions living like
useless lumber in the chambers of the mind,
nor convenient notions to be used when circum-
stances are favorable, but practical principles
for the constant regulation of their conduct.
3. They are men who, when the interests Of
truth and righteousness require them to express
or act out their principles never stop to enquire
wnat Others will think, or whether their popu-
larty or their temporal interests will be injured.
They have not one set of opinions for confidrn-
tial friends and another for the public ~ They
are men whose principles are neither changed
nor modified by the popular breeze, but only
by what appears to them to be conclusive evi.
dence.
Such men must have enemies; and not un-
frequently they are reproached by those whose
piety perhaps ought not to be questioned The
Developments Of time, however silence their
enemies, and reconcile those who joined in the
cutlery against them. What a blessing to the
church of Christ, if all her ministers and menu
bers were men Of principle.

strange conjectures of course prevailed among the

company, they played their parts bravely. Not
wishing to lose the dinner which had been pre-

reprovng the conduct of the fugitive, whose place
