DUTY Of the South.

The Petersburg Mtellgencer, a
leading paper of Virginia, in discus
sing the question as TO the course
proper to be pursued by the South
ern members Of Congress, in case
OF repeal of the Nebraska Bill
and the consummalion of the other
schemes of the "Fusionists," says:
SIN these contingencies, what are
Southern members OF Congress 10
do? certainly not, like black-guards
and DULLES, go TO 6stlcuffing and
bowie-kniting; but like dignified
gentlemen, walk out of the hall, re-
turn TO their respective constituents,
and inform them that the govern
ment is dissolved. We are aware
that we shall be asked what right
one branch Of Congress have TO dis
solve the Union Of the States
We reply, the government of the
United States depends upon the con.
stitution of the United States. As
long as the constitution Of the, Uni.
ted States lasts IFS creatures Emay
last; when The constitution has been
so hacked and battered that hardly
a true feature of il can be discerned
it is the merest nonsense in the
world 10 talk about its power to
keep the departments in the proper
spheres.

The war appears to have so rous-
ed the old martial spirit Of England
that recruits are obtained in great
numbers, without THE least difficulty.
A recraiting sergeant receives lis
for every man passing medical ex-
animation, aud such is the readiness
with which men join, that one re-
cruiting officer alone made S275
within three days, The war enthu-
siasm is said TO be even greater in
Ireland than in England.

The Know Nothings.

The True Wbg fills a column
with extracts showing that, in the
opinion OF some of the free-soil pa
pers, the know-nothings cannot be
trusted to carry on the free-soil ag-
itation. Cannon! These leading
free-soilcrs find profit in the agita-
ton, and do not " isb to be showed
aside by new organization having
the same end in view.
IL the True Whig will give sat-
isfactory answer to one question, it
will do more for the cause of know
nothingism in the South than it eau
do 10 any other way. How happens
ii, SIR, that every Member Of Congress,
without exception, elected By the know-|
is a violeat anti-NebraskaH
free-sOiIer? We pronounce such to
be the fact, Oh unquestionable au.
thority. Il is impossible to regard
the result as accidental. And The
fact is worth all the opinions that the
True Whg can print from now till
loomsday. -NashWUe Union and

After Dinner Repentance.

The Bolivar Democrat says
Prentice Of the Louisville Journal,
has been fed and Toasted into a re-
pentant mood, which is refreshing
evidence Of the utiiitarian effects OF
public dinners Of a personally COM
plimentary character. At the dinner
given to Mr.. Prentice, at Memphis, a
few days ago, in response to a com
plimentary toast, he made very
neat, deprecatory and repentant
speech. We make room for the fol-
lowing extract:
81 have written some bitter things
Of men, who have since passed away
from earth, and whose memOry | re-
we're. and on whose grave I could
shed tears of sorrow and regret. Ah!
when look back through the TWEEN
I ty-six years Of my editorial life, and
think how many once denounced,
who afterwards became my personal
friends, or proved themselves their
country's friends, and how many
more | once eulogised and toiled for
who have since turned their hands
ruthlessly and ceaseIessly against me
when | reflect how often the most
arduous and devoted political servi-
ces are forgotten by those to whom
they are rendered, and how often the
most arduous and devoted political
services are forgotten by those to
whom they are rendered, and how
often the the deepest political inju-
ries are magnanimously forgiven by
those to whom they are done-and
when | remember how many of my
political friends have striven to crush
me, and how many democrats have
gathered around me as a band of
brothers in the days of my personal
PERIL should be guilty of an out
rage on my own conscience, and on
every feeling and impulse of my
heart, if | we're not to weed outfrom
my nature the partisan bitterness
that once f0urisheG there"

The Next Governor.

Some of our democratic cotempo-
raries are discussing the question as
to who Shall be our next candidate
for Governor; and all, we believe,
have expressed preference for Gov
johnson. For one, we do not object
to this selection; but on the contrary
as Gov ]. has (illed the -Gubernato
rialchair with signal ability and faith
fulness, We should be gratiiec to SEE
him reelevated to that station. How
ever, We are ready to give an earnesr
support to the nominee of the demo
cratic party-whoever he may be
We shall speak on this subject, more
at length, in a future issue.

Regardless of the peace and

large. Regardless Of the peace and
harmony of the Union, and intent
only on their individual interests,
which they imagine viii be best pro-
noted by a system Of agitation upon
the question of slavery, there is cy-
cry reason to fear they will take the
most extreme, ultra and sectional
grounds.
For the present, however, thanks
to a kind Providence, we have con-
sentative Senate and President to ar
best the reckless fanatics in the
House, should they attempt to carry
out their principles. Meantime, the
threatening and menacing attitude
assumed by party in the North is
producing corresponding position OF
defanceslt the South; and the two
sections Of the Coufederacy are mp
idly becoming estranged from each
lotiler through the arts OF dema-
gogues aud designing men, Our
people ar told that there is no dar-
ger threatening the integrity of the
Union, even if the designs of the
ultra Anti-Slavery party is carried
out; but such is not the fact. The
resolutions adopted by the Lexing-
ton m Getting will be found to be the
platfor m Of the entire South, which
it will firmly maintain under all cir
cumstances. Unless more moderate
counsels govern influential politi-
clans in the free States than now
seem: probable a fearful collision o.
opinion upon the slavery question
between the two sections of The
Union is inevitable, in view of the
results Of which patriots may vel
entertain apprehensions.
