fact take place without subversion of the Union
established, and which will not virtually amount,
in its effects and consequences to military revolu-
ton and civil war;

For Ae Southern Standard.


W. D. CHAPMAN, Esq-Dear Sir, May | ask
your attention journalist to suggestion which
think will relieve our beloved State from an in
cubus, and perhaps extend the reputation of its
Governor elect far beyond what is now simply na-
tionol? On the whole, l think matters might
be fixed up in way to give an expansion of ideal
greatness, (Which is already prodigious,) to many
would be great men, and perhaps in the winding
up, rid 1.-THE rest of mankind of some who have
already lived too long for their own credit, or the
prosperity of the country at large.
l see the French President is in for Universal
Suffrage, alias Liberty, which, l suppose, means
that it must be of peculiar character IN It's appli-
cation, Or Napoleon will not be satisfied with the
experiment John P. Hale and his friends are in
favor of Universal Liberty also, which is to have
a peculiar application. Kossuth is for Universal
Liberty, to be especially applicable to the advance
ment of the Ex-Governor of Hungary-and ii.
Stewart Foote too has the most enlarged views in
his regard for the dear people, provided always
that the per diem and mileage is to be applied to
the one he loves best. Besides the little General
being the Senatorial champion of the Hungarian,
they will have no difficulty in harmonizing, at least
till a division of the spoils takes place. Now,
what desire is, that you propose to the four acor-
Mies above named to take into the concern a GER
tain Tom Corwin, and form Quintuple Treaty
on the cohesive principle, and revolutonize the
Globe, and not be cramping their philanthropies
and energies within the narrow confines of three
nations only. Let US have something in the 18th
century, worthy of such giantintellects, and which
shall in measure compensate the Union-loving
party of Mississippi for following Foote, at the
cost of deserving the South.
Yours, &c, STATE RIGHTS.

Infamous Character Of tie late Hing Of
Hanover.

The Evening Post in noticing the death of this
dignitary, says:
"A notorious old wretch, known in England as
the Duke of Cumberland, but more lately as the
hing of Hanover, died on the 18th ult, in the
8Ist year OF his age. He was the last of the sons
OF George III. and was born on the 9Th June,
III, and was named Earnest Augustus lie
was educated at Gottingen, and in 1890 entered
the British army, but was never much OF sol
der
In 1889, as his royal brothers died off, he sue
ceeded to pension from the British Government
of III 900 year, which sum he continued to
receive as the Duke of Cumberland, until his
death-so much the English public gained by his
death
In regard to all political questions he seized with
avidlty the unpopular side
lie was an earnest ally of GEORGE " against
Queen Caroline. He cheered the Duke of York
when the Duke of York made the memora
Bile declaration against Catholic emancipation
lie was vlrulent opponent of the Corporation
ana Test Act. He voted and protested in the
House of Lords against the two Reform bills and
would have been an INSCRIPTIONS agent, had King
William listened to the advice of his family and
resisted the demands of the people,
"Details are given of his infamous character
winch was such that, during his whole life he was
an OBJECT OF detestation to the people of England
In 1887, though the operation of law prohloi-
tlng woman to reign in Hanover he became hing
OF Hanover, when Victoria assembled the English
throne.

Mr. TooMBs.-Since the speech of this gentle,
man, delivered few days ago, in the Capitol all
sorts of rumors have been waited on the wings oil
the wind The choicest bit of tattle is, that Mr.
Ioombs had formally announced his change oil
parties, and declared himself democrat Now
although we rarely trouble ourselves with rumors'
we VIII take occasion to say that Mr. Toombs an
nounced no such thing. We will inform our read
efs what Mr. Toombs did announce, and most en-
Pnaucaiiy announce He announced that he was
constitutional Union man, on the principles o.
the compromise of the last Congress, and that be
