Putnams Monthly for October has been on on
table for some days. but have deferred any NOTES
of it until we could obtain time to examine its con
tents
Among its articles We notice one of nine pages de
| voted 10 " The Kansas Question:" in which the ex
IRENE anti-Southern ground is boldly assumed, an.
the Slavery propagandists," as it calls the South
ern States Rights party, denounced in unmeasuret
terms In the very fullest sense of the word, Put
mum is abolitionized
gives utterance to one truth of which the South
should never lose sight, that there can be no naliy
IN politics except in the establishment of justice and
truth 1t must be decided at once whether the South
has equal rights in the Union or not. If she has all
compromises of these rights untruths-if she has
not the she gets out of the Union the better
She ought TO prepare herself for all emergencies by
making herself independent of the North, by with.
drawing from the influence or support of her defa.
ners. Putnam, Harper, Graham, and the whole body
of the Northern Magazinists have taken their posi-
ton. Let US take ours, not by way of revenge upon
them, but of vindication and defence of ourselves
and our self-respect.
We hope that we are above advising anybody to
stop any publication on account of difference of
opinion. But this is no mere matter of opinion 1t
is matter of vital interest. 1t is not Southern opin-
interests-the permanence of Southern Institutions
the whole fabric Of Southern society. At the South
there can be no opinions on the subject Things
have passed from opinions into convictions, founded
not on what is thought but on what is knotvn. We
cannot tolerate specuIaons either with regard 10
rights of property or our claims to equality.
The Elements OF Opposition at the North.
We need point to no more conclusive evidence of
the abolition character of the opposition bms of the
North than is contained in the proceedings and adj
dress Of the Wing, Know. Nothing land Abolition Com
mittees in Pennsylvania. And the South is actually
invited to join with these fusionists to condemn
the National Administration of Franklin Pierce
The notorious David Wilmot figures beside John A.
Fisher, Chairman of the Wing State Committee, and

State Committee of thirteen:
Fusion Candidate for Canal Commi ssioner.
HARRISBURG, Sept. 29.-The Stale Committees of
the Wing, American and Republican parties, which
son, of Beaver, as candidate for Canal Commission
er and Withdrawing the names oil Messrs. Martin
and Williamson, have to-day issued the following
address 10 the people of the State
10 the people Of Pennsylvania The Wing party,
the Republican party, and the American party hav-
ing each nominated candidates for the Office of Canal
Commissioner, 1t becomes apparent that such d.
vision of the elements of opposition to the National
Administration and it's Nebraska fraud would nevita
bly, lead to the election of Arnold Funnel, the plo-
slavery Nebraska candidate. In view of these facts
a meeting of our respective Central Committees of
sad parties was held at Harrisburg Thursday, the
9Th OF September, 1855, and their nominees having
declined and been Withdrawn. Thomas Nicholson, Of
Beaver county. was nominated the candidate of
the said parties for the purpose of concentrating the
votes of the AntiNebraska party on one man. and he
is hereby earnestly recommended to all the lovers of
freedom in Pennsylvania, capable, honest. and
true. harted man, who is worthy of the support and
confidence of the people
