THE NEW YORK DEMAGOGUE..

The NEW YORK DEMAGOGUE.
In debate in the Senate of the United States, on
the 3oth of last month"; several propositions to eue
away the Public Lands, Mr.. Seward of New York
uttered the following atrocious sentiments:
"And, going upon this broad principle, have no
hesitation in saying that there is distinction in my
respect or affection between men of one land and of
another between men of one cline and another /;
between men of one race and another; or between
men of one color and another; no distinction but
what is based not upon institutions Of government, not
upon the consent of society," but upon their individual
and personal merit. If the senator from Georgia
Dawson1 will test this, if he has this sympathy for
free negroes which am reoiced to hear him proclaim,
let him bring in his bil and the first aye that shall
respond to it will be mine-f none should so respond
to it before my should be alphabetically reached,
shall be mine. More than that: if his sympathies
embrace class that deserve them still more-the
slavelet him bring in his bill for the slave, and my
voice for emancpatng the shave in any district ter
ritory shal: 60 for it. Nay, more let him show me
a way in which can give vote, an effectual vote,
for tie emancipation e the saue, in his State
any State and shall feel honored to participate in
the movement and my vote shall be given to sus-
tain it, with more gladness, more gratitude and more
JOY than it was ever given upon any occasion in my
iife''
Such sentiments as the above need no comment.
They stamp their author as Fanatic of the worst
character, and enemy, deadly and dangerous. to
the rights of the South and the Union of the States.
Ten years ago such language in the American Senate
would have excited universal scorn; but now it is
listened to matter of course Southern ears have
become accustomed to it. What next!

THE POWER OF THE SOUTH.
yN vx,dI n.:.:.I L>.L ~

THE POWER OF THE SOUTH.
Mackay's Western World, . British book, thus
speaks of the power exerted by the single article Of
Cotton: t,Tta 45s
"Fin England with provisions-let her barns be
choked and her grainares bursng with their stores
whata spectacle would she present on stoppage Of
one years supply of cotton! 1t would do more to
PROSTATE her in the dust than all tie aransas .cie
Ameriea and Europe eouA hurl against her. What a
tremendous power is this in the hands Of rival!"
Every word of the above is true; and who bot the
people of the South hold this power! The idea ad-
vanced by this British writer might be elaborated into
4 volume. Let those in the South who are hesitatine
between independence and degradation, think of it.

OuR GOVERNOR. We are sorry to observe, from
the tone of the Raleigh papers, determination to
press, by the irresistible force of precedent, Gov
Manly upon the whig party candidate for reelec
tion We had hoped that his friends had been taught
wisdom by the narrow escape he made from defeat
at the last election 1t is, and has been, for long
time perfectly notorious, that his in the West
in another election, will fall short of his last vote by
thousands, and We waited patiently to SEQ it iDtmated
from head quarters that he would be again before
a convention. We were atlength compelled to speak,
but We did it in mild language and in such manner,
as not needlessly to wound his feelings. The last
Raleigh Register appeals to the party not to thrust
him aside and thus morlify his pride but let him be
again the candidate and walk over the track. for
that Democrats In favor of him. If he is to walk
over the track, we have nothing to say. But who
believes such will be the case! And if he runs, no
sane man, West Of Raleigh (of the East we know
nothing) doubts bot that the Democrats will run
candidate who will beat him. We do not desire to
mortify Gov. Manly's feelings. but we regard the
interests of the Whig party more, and it is certainly
singular move on the part Of his friende to plead
his feelings in tho scale against the interest Of his
party.
We do not propose now to discuss the reason why
Gov. Manly cannot get the support Of the Wings of
the West. We are prepared to do it however at any
time the Raleigh papers desire it, but We simply now
call the attention of the Editor Of the Register to al
usions put forth by his IS cun tenens in behalf Of
Gov. Manly, which strike Us as decidedly rich. He
is recommended great friend of the I" Central
Rail Road.'' How has he shown his friendship! !!
What convention has he attended What speech
has he made When did he lend the weight of his
name to that great scheme. We shall be glad to be
enlightened on these matters. :
correspondent Of the " Hornets Nest," and the
Editor of the Carolina Watchman, have taken the
right view of this matter. 1t is important that we
should succeed in the next campaign, and our COM
plaisance must not be carried so far as to select
man, who we know will be defeated.
We owe Gov. Manly personal ill-wil. We
knosU from personal knowledge that his friends here
in the West admit that he cannot be elected, and
call upon his friends in Raleigh, not to sacrifice the
Wing party fur fear fwoundng the pride Of one man.

A GEORGIA WHIG.

In debate in the Senate of Georgia, few days
since, on the Slavery question, Mr.. Love, promi-
nent Wing, spoke as follows. We copy from the
Milledgeville Union: t-.:-
'Mr. L. said he was whig-was born whig and
expected to die whig-had sustained Gen. Taylor,
because he thought the South could rely him, but
his annual message had excited his alarm. Now,
however, he compelled to say, since the recep-
ton Of his California message, the scales had fallen
from his eyes. He could not rely upon Gen. Taylor.
1hat message proceed that he lad taken ground against
tie South. He. Mr.. L., in this matter knew par
He characterized the movement by which California
is sought to be brought into the Union as the Will
mot Proviso in it's basest form-as fraud upon the
South. After discussing several of the the questions
at issue, he expressed his devotion to the Union but
preferred its severance to dshohof and the deprada-
zion Of the South, and closed with eloquent appeal
to the Senate, to stand firmly by the rights of the
South az the only means Of preserving it."

The Failing Of Table Rock.

The Buffalo Daily Adurtiser o. 18th Inst. gives
the following account of the falling of Table Rock
at Niagara Falls:
This Rock, so memorable in the Guide Books TO
the Falls, fell, with tremendous crash which
shook all the "region round about, on Saturday at
ternoon. The portion that fell was from loo to 200
feet loug and from 30 to ~ feet broad. making
regular semi-circ!e, the general conformation of
which is probably well remembered by those who
have been the spot 1t the favorIie point for
observation. The noise occasioned by the crash
heard at The distance of three miles, though many in
the village the American side heard nothing of it,.
1t very fortunate circumstance that the event
took place just at dinner time when most of the visit
ers were at the Hotels. No lives were lost. A car
rage from which the horses had been detached stood
upon the rock. and boy was seated inside. He felt
the rock giving away. and had barely time TO get
and rush TO the edge that did not fall before the whole
immense mass fell.
A conference.-the. Moshier, of the owners of
the Empire State-wilh lady aud the Guide, were
under The rock when 1t commenced falling. mass
which Mr.. nj. judged weigh about ton, came
down, when they deemed il prudent 10 retire. They
had scarcely been out two minutes before the whole
prec pitated into the chasm below.
There has been seam opening for sumo time past,
and gradually widening indicating the fall before the
lapse of very long period This gradual falling of
the rocks tends strongly 10 confirm the theory that the
Cataract has .'worked it's way" up from the mounia
ridge at Lewistown its present location. And il
may be that in "due of time" it will be found
at The foot Of lake Erie. With the progress" thai
it has made within our recollection, however, it viii
