NON.INTERVENTION.

This is the doctrine of the Hunker Democracy.
They claim it as their cornerstone, their plat
form, their principal prop.
The Southern papers also consider it highly erro-
neous to interfere in the concerns Of neighboring
States, and Southern politicians grow eloquent in
denunciations of those who regard their peculiar
institution" as an evil to be removed, instead Of
blessing to be cherished This is the theory.
Let us look at the practice under it. The recent
intelligence from Cuba induced a meeting Of sym
pathizers and "Filibusters," as they style them
selves, at New Orleans, over which M. IL. Cohen
presided. The Pieayas reports that the follow
ing preamble and resolutions was adopted by &C
clamation
Whereas this meeting recognises, to it's fullest
extent the right and duty OF American citizens
to express their sympathy in the efforts OF thelr
! fellow men, whenever and wherever made, &c
achieve their liberties, and rid themselves of intol
.vgpn 1nsU 10 IL the sacred right and
the imperative duty of all true American Repub.
lcans to give aid and comfort, by all legal means
in their power to the sons of Cuba, in their strug
gle to throw off the yoke of Old Spain, and that
thereby we shall discharge In some degree the
debt of gratitude we owe TO the memories Of Steu-
ben. X osciusko, Pulaski Montgomery, and Lafay-
cite and host of other gallant spirits who peril
ed their all to assist us in the times that tried
mems souls"
The sentiment Of this portion Of the preamble
quoted above will be generally approved, both by
Democrats and Wings, though it does sound ANA
zngly like interference in the concerns of another
country. .
The Southern Press has been laboring with much
zeal to show that txe 49, :, 49,, ,,.S;S.. =.
England and France are much worse off in many
respects than the Slaves in the South. 1t also de-
,sres that the condition of the laboring population
1.-THE North is little better than that Of the aborers
n England and France. 1t says:
Look to those Immediately around you, seek
ut the sick, the weak, the honest, the unfortu-
late-seek out those whom want of moral educa-
ion, bad example, despair Of getting work, has
endered idle, unprincipled, and roguish. Distri-
ute your money among Thorn it would not fail
o produce good fruit-for it is the want of money,
he want of work, the anxiety for the future,
hat demoralizes and destroys more millions in
ne year, than all the wars of Bonapsrte"
This is good advice, and we hope it will be act
on; but neighbor, are you not interfering
q the domestic concerns Of other States and do
GU not thus practically repudate the doctrine of
The natural sympathies of
lan prompt him to aid and encourage his oppress-
d fellows and it is humbug, or something worse,
o attempt to frame platform which repudiates
his natural impulse Of the human heart.

SOMETHING NEW.

A Georgian in the Southern (Athens Herald,
over the signature of Concordance in r long
address to the good people Of South Carolina"
suggests " the propriety Of three Presidents "
one Northern one Southern, ono Wostcrn-eaoh
with separate vetoes within the limits Of the three
geographical divisions Of our empire One OF
these Presidents is to be the operative Chief
Magistrate, TO reside at Washington, carry on
the Government, and send messages to Congress,
just IA our present President does. Amer the
three Presidents are elected, they are to cast lots
as to which Of them shall be the acting President
The pay Of the acting President is to be larger
than that Of the other two, whom Concordance
calls THE LATERAL Presidents. He is to live in
White House, hold levees once week, entertain
foreign ambassadors, &c :" Concordance" in a
word, would abolish the one man SYSTEM and
substitute three men for one man. For a single
President he would have Tribunes invested with
the veto power.
Another part of his plan is to carve two or
three States out Of Florida, and " some Eve out
Of the proper limits Of Texas with view to re-
store TO the South the lost balance Of power, and
secure for her majority in the Senate. He says
that It is scarcely supposable that the Northern
and Northwestern States would follow suit
Concordance recommends his plan to South
Carolina, as something preferable to secession
He says:
after rejecting on these two possible means
Of lettering future abuses upon the South, the
idea of Withdrawing from the Confedsracy may
not appear actually so imminently obligatory for
the preservation Of independence, And IL this
be considered by you, fellow-citixens of South
Carolina, and Of all the South and West, as an
adequate resource, you have chance Of abandon.

with glory Remaining in the Union for the en-
joyment Of It's many advantages, you have q per,

would be much better for many assignaole rea-
sons, upon which we have not now time to enter,
to have three acting Presidents over three sepa-
rate Republics, than an Union, with Triounes in
vested with the veto power"
We give the above for what it is worth Inc
" good people Of South Carolina had better make
up their minds to stay in the Union, for the rea-
son that they cannot possibly get out OF It, we
doubt not there are certain politicians who would
like to establish Southern Confederscy in order
that they might be its President; but we appre-
bend that the great body Of the people, even OF
South Carolina, have 40 intention OF gratifying
them. We subjoin few tOaSts drank at Green

which animates the people Of South Carolina;
