The Cry Of Abolition.

The democratic organs have opened on the
old cry of abolition. When Van Buren, and
Harrison were opposing candidates. they told
us that "sweet little Matte" was the very
pink Of Southern soundness. but that Gen. Har-
rison was abolitionist. In short time Van
was running as the free-soil candidate. while
the course of Gen. Harrison had silenced the
SANDER against him. Next VIC were told that
Mr.. Clay was traitor to the South, and that
Polk was sound to the Core: before long Polk
was signing the Oregon bill with the Wilmot
Provso. and Clay exerting himself " it'll almost
superhuman power to save the country from
the dangers into which it had been plunged by
the abolitionists. thus assisted and encouraged.
Taylor and Fillmore came in next for their de
nunciation; while Csss and Butler were held
up as models of fidelity to the South. Gen.
Taylor sleepsin his honored grave. where the
jackalls of party dare not disturb him. and Fill
more has lived down the calumny; but Cass

ness. Another and ever memorable instance
was furnished in the gubernaIoral canvass in
this State. The Irish howl that locofocoism
put up over the abolitionism of George w
Summers. has scarcely yet died away. while
''JosErH" was held up as the truest champion
Of the shareholders rights. the South had ever
produced. Within few months past. we have
seen Summers elevated to the responsible and
honorable post Of Judgeship Ivy his neigh
bors and acquaintance. while Johnson has
been censured by democratic Legislature for
proclaiming doctrines that "tesd to produce a
spirit Of naturalization and public mischief
As matter ofcourse the democracy are bound
to declare Gen. Scott, though born and reared
in Virginia, an abolitionist. and Gen. Pierce,
who was born and reared in New Hampshire,
a pro-slavery man. We think the democracy
have cried "Wolf' little too long. They have
been caught at their sport rather too often.

this time they do not believe them.

Sou D..

The democratic Fapers make merry over IA
certain ''hasty plate of SOUP" that Gen. Scott
once partook of. We remember that when i.
mother brave old General God rest his sour
was nominated for the Presidency. they grew
very facetious over the"hard cider. that he was
reported to indulge in. occasionally Accord
ing to the hest of our recollection they grew
very sick of thai" hard cider''-it turned deadly
sour upon their stomachs. They got funny on
the wrong side of their mouths. towards the
close. five are not mistaken. they will find
the ''hasty plate Of soup" as troublesome to
take as the "hard cider" 1t will turn out to
be thehottest soup.and the hardest to swallow,
they ever got into their mouths. and yet it must
60 down, though it scald their throais like n
boiled lobster. Go ahead my funny fellows.

Southern man. particularly Virginian. should
have hesitated. II we don't carry Vireinin.
we will shake the foundations of Locofocoisn,

faint hearted may say. He who fought over
40 square miles in one day and gained five deci-

a concern as Pierce of New Hampshire.

THE CASE OF PEREIRA.

The case of Manuel Perera, colored British
seaman imprisoned at Charleston, South Car
DINA, on account Of his bad complexion, has
been brought before the House of Commons by
Mr.. Mines who inquired as to what Lord
Derby's Cabinet had done or were doing to
bring the matter to favorable issue. Lord
Stanley replied on the part Of the Government
stating the facts in regard to the prosecution
of the case before courts of South Carolina by
Mr. Mathew, the British Consul, and also in.
timating the intention of the Government to
carry the question before the Supreme Court
of the United States for final decision rs to the
constitutonalty Of the law under which the
imprisonment took place. At the same time
ord Stanley referred TO the late relaxations in
the law Of Louisiana upon the same subject,
and expressed the hope that the influence of
public opinion would ultimately do away with
all laws of this nature, and remove from one
of the most enlightened nations of the world
one of the greatest degradatons that could be
fixed on civilized country"
The hearing of the case before the State
Judges of South Carolina has been postponed
until January The decision of this question
is looked for with great deal of interest.
