And this will inevitably be the result of his
mission if successful Such will be the con-
sequence of the triumph of the doctrines
now held by the presses and the people OF
the North. And who pays the piper? The
Southern States--the producers of the sta
pIes that constitute the wealth of the coun-
try. They are scarcely prepared for this.
And the people Of the South cannot be par
ticipants in this missionary republicanism.
Their pursuits forbid it; their institutions,
safe only under the rule of n conservative
foreign policy, forbid it; and it will be an
evil day when the eontayion of this wildiire
takes effect among them. The present is but
another development of the utter dissimlarl-
ty existing between the ever restless spirit
of rampant democracy prevailing at the
North, and that conservative rcpublicanism of
the South, which is the citadel of her insti-
tutions and the guarantee of her prosperity.
1t is another incidental proof of the propric-
ty of political separation of two sections,
whose people are, in almost every lending
feature of true and sound republican princ-
Piles, so utterly opposed to each othcr-Co-

THE PRESSURE.

THERE is now being felt a considerable pres.
sure in money matters. We learn that it is an
almost universal thing at the South. As 10 the
causes which have produced said pressure, we
have no idea Of expalialing. Sufficient to say
that it is upon us. Now, how are we to get rid of
it! This is difficult qncs,ion-somc might pro-
nounce il 4 "puscr." We think there isa specific
which, if adopted by all, will be emincn;ly sana.
tive in its results 1t is simply this: Let every
one do unto others as he would they should do
unto him." The practise Of This good old rule in
money matters will tighten the pressure very ma.
terially. For thus, kind and generous indulgence
will be extended from man to man, in heightened
chain as it were, and in n twelve month"; all Tor
nearly nll) may be enabled by vigorous cxcrtions
to come ont of their difficulties without being
forced to n sacrifice of any kind. The opposite
course, viz, one of stern demand of immediate
payment, will be very apt to lead TO disastrous
season. For one hard creditor frequently forces
twenty others TO n similar course. The wind,
once up, will cause many crash. May it not be

The Magyar chief has evolved bv hi; visit
to this country spirit which. unchecked must

The wild restlessness of the popular masses
ut the North must have something to feed
upon, something to sustain it. and willie one

A GOOD SIGN.

WE have heard it stated by several very intellI-
gent gentlsmen of late, that our district evinccs
evident signs of improvement Our farmers are
becoming, year by year, more skilful and success
full in the management of their business in its va
rious branches. The consequence is that our
lands continue regularly to rise in value, present.
ing now in many places much more inviting and
cheering appearance than they did twenty years
ago. We have no doubt butthat the farming and
planting interests of our district will for the future
60 rapidly upward. Agriculture is beginning to
receive, at the hands of all that attention which
so richly merits. The worshippers Of Ceres are
becoming more and more worthy to kneel at her
shrine, from the praise-worthy ambition they dis
play to make her golden harvests cover their old
and (as many thought) exhausted hills. And The
time is not far of, we trust, when many an Edge
field emigrant, who is now cutting and burning IN
the far-famed forests Of the West, will return 10
his deserted birthplace to learn the true lessons
Of agricultural wisdom.
But the "go6d sign" to-which we now cspcci-
nlly allude, is the fact that our citizens, in every
section of the district, are erecting dwelling houses
of the most substantial as we'll MS tasteful kind.
In some instances they border upon the elegant.
In nll instances, they are neat and well-fnished,
and generally painted (nos on the outside only,
after the Georgia fashion, ] but thoroughly. Add
to this, that in almost every neighborlood the
Churches are hcing enlarged, improved and ocra-
sionay rebuilt in the best siye and, all together,
the circumstances may be fairly set down as ma
king up a truly "good sign 1t is evidence of
permanence in our society-of conteniment-of
district pride-of refnement-of local attachment
of tho increase of means-and Of prosperity in
general. TO show that I'VE do not assume this
statement merely for the sake of an editorial par
agraph, we will add that we base our remarks
upon the authority of sensible and observant men,
besides our own knowledge. The saw.mills in
our district are said never to have done u more
thriving business-and the demand for lumber
among ourselves can scarcely he kept up with,
although the number of mills has increased. We
nre glad that these things are so. May our be.
loved old district see brighter and happier future
before her, with every returning year.
