A HuMBUc.- The Wheeling papers speak of
the woman representing herself as the mother
of the late Summer L. Fairfield, the poet, and
who is going about procuring subscribers for
an alledged new edition ofhis works, on the
ground that she has his children to support, as
a gross deceiver The works are never re-
ceived, she tells different stories, and they de-.
clare her an imposter. 4.
A similar game was played in our State
some years since. and the lady's very pathetic
appeals drew dollar from us in our green
days. The book has not vet reached US.

THE DISUNION FLAG.

The Editor of the Columbus Times has come
out openly and boldly for the dissolution Of the
Union.
The Times deserves credit at least for its
honesty. The people Of Georgia now know
what is to be expected from that quarter
There are to be no temporary expedients, no
postponed issues. no non.intercourse enact
ments for the Times or its supporters. They
are openly for secession, and if need be, for
Girl uar, We hope that other papers will
be equally as honest and candid as the Times.

try. Let the people only understand it and
we have no fear of the result

Wehave later news from Texas. Gov. BELL
has vetoed the bill requiring him to submit to the
popular vote the proposition of the U. s, regar-
ding the purchase Of Territory. The House
sustained the Governor and the bill was consc.
quently defeated. The Legislature adjourned
to the I'd Monday in Novembea.
We give to-day the responses of Messrs.
Chesnut and Gregg to the late display Of the sar-
castle buffooneryin the Senate, at their expense,
by Gen. Foote. Of course we do not endorse
or agree to all these gentlemen say. Foote
most shamelessly exaggerated their sentiments
in the Senate, and they pay him back in kind.
We do not publish their letters from malice to
the Senator; for although we have most de-
cided disgust for his late course in the Senate,
for many things we like him. We always feel
sympathy for a man engaged in an unequal
fight, and on this principle, fir play, we pub.
lish the letters. Foote'S attack has been pub
ished literally in all the papers. The National
lntelligencer gave graphic account, and the
Union sent it to the four quarters of the coun.
try, revised, corrected, amended and pointed by
the author. Hale, Seward, Chase and Corwin
chuckled over it; and Wendall Philips, CARR.
son, Giddings, Chaplin and company, have pre-
served it in their scrap books, to give point to
their future abuse of the South. Under these
circumstances we feel that it is only sheer fair
play to give the Carolinians the benefit Of our
circulation. The beauty of the thing is, that
neither of them lose temper. Gregg talks some.
what earnestly, but Chesnut (he must be Of the
genus horse chesnut, and hot one to handle at
that )maintains an imperturabletemper through.
out aud if he. does not sometimes cut to the
red, our Senator'S hide must be ms elastic as his
conscience If Gen. Foote thinks that the pro.
voking Of such encounters rs this comports with
bis duties in the Senate, his former friends at
home will give him the full benefit of all the lau.
rels he has on from Chesnut aud Gregg.

WAsMINGToN, Sept II.
Congress is in So good humor, and receives
from every portion of the country 80 many and
hearty congratulations on the Accomplishment
of the peace measures, that they are ready to
do many liberal things, not only for this city.
but for any interests which are dependent on
the Government
MIR. Vinton's new tariff, establishing double
and quadruple rates of duties, will 60 if it can
get half a dozen more Northern Democrats to
support it. 1t has got almost every Wing vote
The Wings voting in the negative the other day
were only two; Mr. Caldwell and Mr.. Cling
man. Only FIVE Democrats voted for it Mr.
Vinton's tariff is, therefore, distinctly party
tariff.
1t is urged that the Northern Wings are en-
titled to liberal tariff, on account of the sup
port that they gave to the runaway slave bill
But Mr. Vnton and Mr.. Hampton were not par.
tal to that compromise. Only three Northern
Wings, as have heretofore stated, were for the
bill to surrender fugitives, and these three, to-.
gether with their twenty eight democratic as.
sociates, ought to have the fixing of the tariff,
tito the Northern friends of that bill higher
tariff is to be awarded. But only eight out Of
the thirtv-one are known to be in favor of Mr..
Vinton's scheme, if, indeed, of any alteration.
The Wings, as party, cannot make tariff
to suit themselves and their party interests. No
important modification Of the present Tariff can
be made on any party ground.
The plan ofputting Mr.. Vintous scheme on
the civil and diplomatic bill in the Senate, will
fail The design is bold, ut it is an evidence
Of desperation. In the first lace, the Senate
cannot originate revenue measure and, in
the next place, Mr.. Vinton's scheme cannot get
majority of their votes Some alterations
may be made in the revenue tariff, but not on
party grounds, nor by party vote. Ion.

The New York Herald, Of Saturday

queut and effective address on slavery which
was delivered by WENDELL PHnL,ps. In

which we regret TINT we cannot find room

1ho meeting was most triumphant re-
Duke OF the mobocratic violence of the
'neiglboriDg city of New York. and the
criDging servilty of its officials. II was Il,
have been held in the Hall OF the Institute /;
hut, on Friday morning, the proIriefors of
that Hall, alarmed by rumors that the fnob of
New York intended TO break up the meet
ing, refused TO ndhro to their agreement.
aud gave notice that their Hall would not
be opened! In these circumstances, Rev.
IlESRY WARD BEEcHER, with great frngna-
nmity and true moral heroisIn, informed tho
Committee that, if il was needed 10 yindi-
cate the right of free speech, his church was
at their service--a very lnrge and beautiful
one. MIR. Beecher not only opened his
church, but, in company with Rev. Mr.
SroRRs, appeared upon the platform, and
both these gentlemen took all the odium of
sustaining the right of even the most fanat-
ical' opinions to hearing.
IL rs good evidence how far Truth floats
on the shouts OF a mob, and how great an
impetus mob violence gives to her cause,
that, in spite of very short and necessarily
confused notice, an audience of four thou
sand OF tho most respectable citizens Of
brooklyn assembled to show that law still
relgned supreme that side of the ierry.--
While the usual testimonies of appreciation
and disopprobation, cheers and Kisses, were
given to the remarks both of Mr. Beecher
aud MIR. Phillips, the most perfect order was
preserved throughout the evening; and il
was said that some riotously disposed per-
sons, who had come from New York with a
band of music TO drown the voices of tho
speakers, looking on upon that compacT
mass Of respectful and attentive listeners,
concluded that discretion was the batter
part of valor, and that possibly Cant. liyn-
ders was not Mayor of Brooklyn, Whatever
he might he of New York.
This vindication of the first right of fieo-
men we owe mainly to the magnanimity,
whole-hearied sympathy and cordial assist
ance of Henry WARD BEEcHER; and We
rejoice in the opportunity of this expression
toward one whose eloquencc is SO well
known that il is enough TO say, and all tl,c
more in these times of wordy profession and
ime-serying that his deeds are worthy of
his words.-Libcrdtor

All this exists to much greater extent in

PoLITIcIANs.-The following ludicrous
description of a modern politician, though
written some years ago, is not inapplicable
TO our own times. The same vulgar, de-
grading arts are as necessary in climbing tho
political ladder now, as in former days
"only more So" We copy from IIying's
Salmagundi:--
"To rise in this country a man must first
descend. The aspiring politician may be
compared TO that indeiatigable Virginia i'm
sect called the tumbler, which buries itself
in filth, and works ignobly in the dirt, until
il forms little ball, which il rolls laborious-
ly along, like Diogenes his tub; sometimes
head, sometimes tail foremost, pilferlng from
every rat and mud hole, and increasing its
ball of greatness by the contributions Of tho
kennel Jut so the candidate for greatness
Who plunges himself in the mob labors in
dirt aud oblivion, and makes unto himself
the rudiments of popular name from the
admiration and praises of the vulgar His
name once started, onward he goes strug-
Cling and putting, aud pushing it before him
collecting new tributes from the dregs and
oiills of society as he proceeds, until, having
gathered together mighty mass Of popu-
lari,y, he mounts il in triumph; is hoisted
into office, aud becomes great man, and
a ruler in the land"
