he events that are transpiring With each
succeeding day at the North are plain and
intelligent indications Of The national crisis
that Is fast approaching. The political sen.
tilnent Of the country is becoming more and
more repellant. and bias and prejudice have
usurped the throne Of reason, and the sereni-
" OF the political horizon is clouded with
the dark elements Of anarchy and fanaticisnl,
that are looming up with threatening aspect
IN the distance.
The very atmosphere seems charged with
political corruption, and each gale that sweeps
from the North, is loaded with resolves, oaths
imprecations and pledges, tor raise ana support
the hydFa-headed monster of abolitionism in
its onward march to the invasion of our civil
libeltiesand immunilies as fieemen. The
breast OF every patriotic citizen may Justly be
filed with apprehension and alarm, at the
present posture OF our political affairs.
i An open ani manly resistence on our part,
together with what aid and comfort we coul1
obtain from Northern allies, have ena,sfed
the South hitherto to make successful de-
fence against all attempts at Infringement OF
our rights. The dsorganizing element Of
which Seward is the nucleus, although at
one time not larger than mans hand, has
grown apaee, and spread with such prodi
gious rapidity, as to absorb almost every pal-
ty and faction within the scope of its infiu
ence, and to bury, without any reasonable
hope of resurrection the party that dales 10
cling to the constitution and laws as the base
of its Organization.
The mission of the abolitionists, is to sub
vert our institutions at cost of disruption of
The Union of the States, if need be, and its
progress to the accomplishment of this end
is steady and determined. The small band
of conservative and patriotic men at the
North, to whom we havein times past, looked
to for assistance and defence, and looked not
in vain. have become from motives of an i'm
pure zeal aud a mistaken philanthropy, alien
ated and detached. They have disavowed al
Iegiance to the laws ofhuman enaction, when
ever those laws conflict with their individual
opinion ofight, and have declared adherence
o higher law" which they profess to draw
rom above, and to the maintenance of which |
their lives and fortunes are pledged. Even
Sen. Cas- in = late speech at Detroit, held upI
ais hands to heaven in horror of the sin of
slavery, and thanked God, with christian
grace, that he lived upon a soil free of and
lnpolluted with the "accursed institution"
With the lights before us, and the course
# the opposition clearly ehalked out, noih-
ng remains to US, but to adopt measures Of
elf protection and defence. The principle
# State Rights, although ridculed and scof-
ed at a few years ago, is still to become the
ne by which the South must be governed,
nd resistance to aggression will yet become !
he watch word by which we must rally.

Of those gentlemen may make an effort to SCI.
tie the difficulty in an amicable way.
You state in your communication, cir
cumstance that | had not up to this moment
been apprised of--that the public; and the
opposite party, regarded themselves as having
been challenged by Mr.. A. Patterson. Sych
was not Mr. A. Patterson's intention, but he
regarded his communication as an aceep-
tance. Therefore, in view Of these facts, and
having full confidence that you will not in

HoN. JOHN NJ. CLAYTON AND THE Know
THINGs.-Fron recent letter written BY
this distinguished Senator, we may conclude
that the Hon. John NJ. Clayton, of Delaware,
is Know Nothing. We thought as much
when he was the Premier OF Gen. Taylor, and
frequently said so; but now we know it.
He declares over his own sign-manual that
he is Know Eothing-a hide-bound native
American of the old school initiated into the
the new. But he says he is not candidate
for the Presidency, never has been, never wan
ted to be, never would be, and never will
not he And yet his letter looks very much
like bold bid, in modest way, for the
sweet volces' of the Know Nothings in
1855. Alas for that "rich Irish brogue with
the illigant German accent ~ All gone. No
more ze Deums by the whig old fogies to

Of lager bier. w. Fl. Seward has succeed

Clayton is IN affair way Of transferring Tie
State Of Delaware to the Know Nothings.-
Still it's likely that both Seward and Clay

stealing horses and committing various de-
predations. To counteract which a compa-
ny of regulators, as they were called, was
raised. In contest between these and
the depredators, big Joe Logston lost his life
which would not be highly esteemed in
civil society. But in frontier settlements,
which he always occupied, where savages
and beasts were to be contested with for
the right of soil, the use Of such a man is
very conspicuous. Without such the coun-
try could never have been cleared of its
natural rudeness as to admit of the more
brilliant and ornamental exercises of arts,
