Missouri COMFORTING ABOLITION Speaking
of the late election in this State, the National
Era, the Abolition paper published at Washing
ton, says
The anti-Benton men, as Old Bullion him
self would say, have grown small and beauti-
fully less"---haats some consolation 1t is worthy
of remark that the newspapers designate the
Benton men as Free-soilers We trust that
may be true, and also that the Wings of that
State are impregnated with the life-gving spirit
of freedom"
Considering that eighteen months ago there
were no anti-Benton in this State, and that the
late election presented a majority Of two-thrds
against Benton the Era takes comfort easily.
Nevertheless, there is in truth much cause for
"consolation7 on the part OF the Abolitionists,
when it is known that even here, in Missouri,
among n population of slave owners, they were
able, through one man, to divide and defeat the
Democratic party It is n feather in their cap,
of which they can afford TO be proud. 65
This Abolition organ receives the appellaiion
Of Free-soilers, applied to Benton, with signiti-
cant readiness, and expresses the hope that the
Wings OF this State are also ".impregnated with
the lfe-giving spirit of freedom 6. Abolition.
1t has good ground to hope-f we may Judge
from the conduct Of some of them We should
not be surprised if the next Legislature evnced
the fact of their " impregnatiop."
What do the people of Missouri think of the
above expression of feeling from the leading

suit OF their late election p Hannibal Courier

SOUTHERN RIGHTS BARBECUE--The meeting
of the citizens of Dekalb, which came off in this
city on Saturday last, was we'll attended, when
considered us a county meeting. During the
forenoon and afternoon addresses were made TO
the meeting by Col. A. f. Luckie, Chairman ].
L. Harris, esq, Capt. A. Nelson, OF Cobb, w
b. Prior, OF Lagrange, George X, Smith, esq,
Of Stone Mountain, and r. IL. West, of Atlanta.
The general tenor Of the addresses during the
day were much the same--a review OF the pro-
gress of AboIitionism AZ connected with the past
political history of the General Government;
illustrations showing the various aggressions on
the rights Of the slayeholdng portion of the
Union; specuIations as TO the consequences of
the passage Of the late bills in Congress, which
were comprised i'm the Compromise bill that
there was nothing but violated filth on the part
of the free States to b. seen la the past---that
the present ia still more gloomy and forboding--
that there is nothing to hope for In the future
in the Union; and that the only security for the
future was to be found in dissolution of The
Union The Federal Government received any
thing but eulogiums, and as to the Star SpangIed
Banner, their song was anything rather than
.Oh long may it wave" In short, disunion was
the motto of the meeting, and the principal
orators seemed to vie with each other in the
heartiness with which they gloried in the epithet
of traitors to government, which they held
was already abrogated by violation of the
compact on which it rested We did not hear
the speech of Mr.. Prior, Of Lagrange, but we
understand that it was much more conciliatOry
in its character than those of the other orators,
and many of his sentiments were not by any
means congenial with their own. The meeting
finally adjourned without further action.

A NOBLE SoUTHERsER.-The Hon. T. l..
CLINGMASof Moth Carolina, was the only South
ern wing who voted nay on the Texas Boundary
Bill. While those to whom the South had en-
trusted her honor, were betraying her all around
him, some from timidity, some from indifference,
and Others in acontemptible struggle for party
and self, he stood firm, battling, inch by inch,
against the inroads Of our oppressors. Honored
be the man whose devotion to the South was
proof against treason in all its forms. Honored
be the man who did not forsake his country
when her sworn friends were deserving her
He has merited the gratitude of every true
Southern man, for the fearessness with which
he has maintained his position, despite the OPP
position of foes and the perfdy Of friends. His
State should be proud to honor such a man.
Nobly has he honored his constituency. and
there is Southern spirit enough in the old North
State to award him the proper return for his
course With leaders like CLINGnIAY--

fame her, 4ft eAti8 sts stir

CALIFORNIA ADMITTED.-rhere is day of
glooniness and darkness before US! The major
ity in Congress, reckless of the rights of the
South, have admitted California The day for
talk has passed---we must now have action,
prompt efficient action, or forever after hold our
peace. Our enemies have told us that we can
not be kicked out of the Union and verify,
they are now proving the truth, or ialsity of
their hypothesis. However, it is hoped that
enough Of the spirit Of 1TT6 remains in the hearts
of the sons Of Revolutionary fathers to resist
such monstrous injustice. What! be deprived
of our rights to be denounced as traitors, and
yet sing hallelujah's to the Government that OPP
presses us This must not be so. There are
some evidences that it will not be So .
Let the other Southern States do as Georgia
viii convene their Legislatures, and take
prompt firm and decided action inthe emergency
They have said that they would not submit to
the application OF the Wimot Proyiso, or any
Kindred measure, to the Territories. The nd
mission OF California Is the application of a
kindred measure Mr.. Calhoun called it the
Executive Proviso. The Southern members OF
Congress regard it as more odious than the
Wilmot Proyiso. They both attain the same
end-they both deprive the South of her legiti-
mate rights. They both declare that the South
is not entitled to equal rights with the North
under the Constitution. They both destroy the
equilibrium ofthe Government They both form
one OF the series OF aggression upon the South
to be hereafter carried out--But the Wimot
Proviso is bold, open and daring in its course /;
the other cowardIy, mean and deceptive Let
us secede peaceably if we can, forciblys if we
must.-Ne'cberry Is. ca Sentinel.

Mr. BERRrEN's LETTER.-Judge Warner, in
his letter recently published, says as follows:
sThe view which take on this subject, is to
let the people Of California regulate this ques-
ton of slavery for themselves without any le-
gislative interference by Congress. And the
strongest argument which the Judge uses in
favor of the doctrine of no,,-iterrention Isl that
"ifCongress have the right and jurisdiction to es-
tablish or recognisg slavery South of the line
(36.so,) the same right and jurisdiction exist to
abolish it," tfiirt h.. e ..,,t
We refer by way of complete answer to this
position whenever and by whomsoever taken, t6
MIR. Berrien's letter of August 81 We SHOULD
like to have Judge Warner decide whether a re-
cognition by Congress of the freedom of the
Press, or of the right of trial by Jury would
imply the existence Of right to abolish either
or both The reasoning of Mr.. Berrien in es-
tablishing the tact that Congress has interviewed
against the South is upanswerable For MS he
states, I" all agree that the people who CHANGED
to be in California had no right to declare this
prohibition, and that their act is entirely null
and void, until Congress shall give it life and
validity II is The same thing as If Congress
had imposed the Propiso themselves.

A PHILOSOPHER lNDEED!-THE Richmond Re-
| publican says it cannot approve altogether Of
the admission of California into the Union, but
it declared itself srejoced that we have the add
dition of but one free State, instead OF half a
dozen, (which it thinks an imf brant point gained.
The Republican is certainly easily consoled-
much easier than the Dutchman who, having
broken his leg, consoled himself that il was not
his neck. Both the legs, arms ribs and spine
of the South are broken--she rendered cripple
for life--her power of resistance gone-and be-
cause the blow which is to sever her neck from
her body is not yet given, the Republican is re-
joiced" Why, if we are to be murdered, we
would rather it should be done out right, than
| that we should be tortured to death by having
| limb BY limb broken. Ii this were a country
lin which it was constitutional for the majority

/ ity, we might derive some consolation from the
Republicans philosophy; but as such liberties
ARE prohibited by the laws Of the land, we think
the minority have the right to complain of vo-
Ilation and 'trampling down of those laws. If
the South submits to the breaking Of leg to-
day and leg to-morrow-and Of arm to-day

NATIONAL PARTIEs.-The Washington Union
makes the following comments upon the result
of the recent elections in Missouri, in which the
Democrats lost their long established ascendency
bv reason of their division between Behtonites
and anti-Bentonites att hhs
{" Thus it would appear that Missouri sends
four Wings to the next Congress- and one Ben
ton man in the person Of Mr. Phelps. Such is
the effect of discord in the Democratic party, and
such will probably be, the effect in some of the
Southern States, where our party may be divided
in similar manner, or are not sufficiently or
g.nized for competition with the Wing party,
unless more forbearance, and moderation, and
discretion should be infused into its ranks.
Mere purblind extremists, who are crying out
for a dissolution of the two great national par
ties, in order to concentrate their whole force
upon the slavery question, are preparing for a
startling defeat of our party. They are its
worst and most suspicious enemies. If this see
tiofal cry be kept up, some of the Democrats
may prepare to lose their districts We throw
out the suggestion for the benefit Of the parties
concerned
We do not expect /" some Of The Soutlier,,
Slates7 will distress themselves very much in
future with the question MS to the relative chances
Of Whiggery or Democracy in its party sense, to
carry this or that Congressional District in fu-
ture Looking to the recent action of Con
gress, it would puzzle a Southern man to tell
what benefit the South has obtained from either
party organzation-from the Wing or the Demo-
cratic. jt sr er - tt .ttt1
The Democratic party has majority in each
branch of Congress at this time. What benefit
has the South derived from this fact? Let the
late outrages perpctrated upon the South in the
passage of Clay's Omnibus bills answer.
Yet, who will assert that if the Wing party
had had majority in each branch, the result
would have been any better for the South We
do not believe there isan intelligent Wing in the
South that will say it. lat3 eB os,l
This cry of purity, party, party, has bamboo
zled the South long enough. The Democrats OF
the South have belived, and honestly so until
recently, that the rights and honor of the South
would be safe in the hands Of the great national
Democratic party. The Wings of the South, no
doubt, with equal honesty, have, until lately, be-
ieved they would be safe in the hands of the
national Wing party. The recent action of Con-
gress awakens them all to sense of their COM
mon delusion. ~ s'h
The great cause of Southern Rights is to be
upheld at all hazards, no matter whether Demo
Gratis or Wings lose seats in Congress thereby.
In comparison with that great cause, the tr-
umphs of national Democratic or national Wing
parties, sink into contempt. f as b 6
