gB- Greeley, Hale, Gddings, Sumner,
Chase, and the Abolitonists generally are re-
joicing and making merry over what the for
mer is pleased to call the defeat of the Ameri-
can party at the South. Greeley says, check
foreign immigration and you foreclose at
once and forever all hope of attaining power
to "crush out" slavery. Giddings, and Gree
ley, and all the rest say, that IT is by foreign
emigration alone they can fill up the terrific
ries with anti slavery voters and prevent the
admission of any more slave States, while
every passing year will bring Free Common
wealth into the Union. In this view we can
readily see why the abolilionists should &C.
joice at the defeat of the American party at
the South. But how Southern men, and
Southern editors, who are continually writ
ing and decamng against the designs and
aggrcssions of these Abolition leaders, can
exult over the Same result is one of the
strange and incomprehensible inconsistent
cies of the times.

cW- Why don't the democratic editors
who are continually charging. in the face of
the strongest evidence to the contrary, that
the Americans are blsmeable with the late
dsgracerul riots at louisville, why don't they
publish in theiy columns the sworn testimony
of the mary unimpeachable witnesses ad-
duced before the city authorities. Not n
single democratic paper that we have met
with, has even referred to the facts rs eli
cited by the legal investigation, much less
published the certificates of the Witnesses
Come, gentlemen, your regard for candor and
fair-dealng, as displayed and made manifest
on ten thousand noted occasions, demands
that you should publish the sworn evidence.
Don't rely any longer on the naked and reck-
less assertions of the Louisville Courier and
Times, the editors of which papers were, by
their infiammatory appeals, chiefly instrument
tai in stirring up the foreigners to the lawless
nets that drew such signal vengeance on their
own heads. These men are interested par
tics, anxious to relieve themselves from the
awful responsibility of their imprudence and
wickedness, and their mere assertions are
worthless. But parade the evidence before
your readers, ard let them take the case.

When married couple begin 20 wish them
selves divorced it is time they were separated
When they begin openly to talk of divorce
and practically advocate a non-intercourse
system, We may regard the union as dissolv'
ed. When the cohesive attraction no longer
exists, the parties to the compact naturally
fall back into their original condition.
| The political and social union between the
Northern and Southern States of the Amer
can Confederacy, judged by the same evi
denees of dsaffrction, is rapidly approaching
dissolution. The ancient love and harmony
between them is lost; and we hear nothing
but discords, complaints and criminations.-
Neither party seems longer disposed to com.
promise existing difficulties, nor TO hush up
their troubles, either for the sake of the pro.
perty involved in the partnership, or for the
future reputation and happiness oftheir chill
dren.
The cry is, let the Union be sundered-let
the marriage certificate (the Constitution) be
destroyed; and let the Northern bridegroom
be forever separated from his Southern bride.
The scandal mougers of both sections of the
country are insiduouslr and openly at work
to bring about the rupture; and the day of
actual enforcement may come, like all great
calamities, in an hour when we think not.
Georgia and Virginia seem to be

the Abolition press of the North, with its
daily irritations, is goading even the cooler
classes of the South into state of indgna-
ton, which will inevitably lead to rash and
reckless action. A distinguished gentleman
and statesman, who has just returned from a
tour through the Southern States, informs us
that the pervading feeling of the South is
fearfully determined against the North; and
they are preparing, not only for an indepen-
dent confederation, but are even looking to-
wards free trade alliance with England
And notwithstanding all the rawlings of the
British Abolitionsts against American Slave
ry, should the day of dsunion ever come.
England would be the first TO take the South
by the hand, and court her for her cotton
more than she has ever cuiscd her for her
slaves.
In the meantime we hope it is not too late
for grand conservative rally without dis
tinction of party-for the nomination of
candidate for the Presidency upon platform
of adamant, against which the waves of IA
naticsm may only dash themselves and not
the Union--in pieces.-New York Mirror.

HOME PAPERS.

Some one of our exchange papers very
a2positely remarks:
There is one class of men in every CON-
munity who do not take a home paper, be.
cause they get some eastern paper little
cheaper. Such are always foreign in their
thoughts and knowledge. He in fact in an
intellectual point of view does not live in the
community where his body walks abroad
daily, but over the columns of the Eastern
paper, he lives in the scenes transactions
of the city and State, and is startled once in
while by an item of news, which his neigh
bors who take home paper, knew two weeks
before, and he as he meets them bores them
to death with what is news to him but old and
stale to his neighbors. And yet, poor man
he is perfectly unconscious that he is bore
and is laughed at behind his back, for being
behind the intelligence of the times. We
have been not a little annoyed ourselves
with some of these men who do not take a
home paper. Men who feel the greatest in.
| terest in the election have come to our Office
the day after we published the news, and put
us to the trouble ofteling itul over to them,
by the word of mouth. We think if they
cannot afford to take home paper they
ought to wait two weeks until they can get
it through the eastern papers.
II seems to us if these men who do not
take home paper, were aware that every
body who meets and hears them converse,
know them to be at least two weeks behind
the times and wondered at the mans igno-
rance, they would not sleep until they had
subscribed for some of their home papers.
Such a man is always behind the intelli.
gence of the age in every respect. If he is
n farmer, produce goes up and down before
he is aware of it. Banks fail and he takes
the money before he is aware of it. Insu.
rance Companies fail, and his house is unin-
sured before he is aware of it; and perhaps
his house during that time burns down; and
when he exuts that he is insured he is told
by the man who takes a home paper, that
the company failed a week before. His
wild land is sold for taxes, while he is pour
ing over the columns of his cheap Eastern pa.
per; his cattle stray, and involve him in n
long bill of keeping, when if he had taken a
home paper, he would have seen them adver.
tised as taken up weeks before. He wants
to sell farm, but his neighbor, who takes
home paper, sees an advertisement for one
and sells his at good price. And these
and thousand other ways, the man who
don't take home paper, is too late for sup.
per. Had he not much better subscribe?
