But we are not content leave the matter to rest upon
southern democratic testimony. either derived from the
late elections, or southern journals known 10 be as
much devoted 10 the constitutional rights OF the South
as Mr.. Toombs The New York Times, an able ard

and If we mistake not, from who occupied
wha, similar position with Mr. Toombs himself in the
late presidential contest We desire especially 10 call The
attention Of southern wings to the liberal and conclusive
testimony Of the Tmes against the charge that Gov
vroom is affected with free -soiIism unfounded

We have still ore other witness, whose testimony will
carry with il great weight from his peculiar relation to
the wing party and the sectional question. The New

grave declaration OF ssna Toombs that the President
has been false 10 The pledges OF his Inaugural The
southern democrats come forward in solid phalanx and
ePel the eharse--ihey give TO the President triumph
ant support and they pay the highest tribute 10 the wis
