THE MISSOURI LINE OF OFFICE.

In late article upon the disasters that
would ensue from the election Of ]. c. Fremont
to the Presidency, we merely referred to the
ore of appointments to Office in the Southern
States. We are induced to present this view
again, because it is in our memory that the
National Era some year or more since, rather
advocated the confinement of federal appoint
ments to the North,- even when the duties Of
those Offices were to be performed within the
Southern States. We regret we have not
file Of the Era that we might the better do
justice to it and the subject, by transfer OF
its article to our columns. In the discussion of
these subjects, we are aware that complaint
may be justly lodged against us, for repetition of
views previously presented but this should be
excused by the necessity Of making the appro-
pirate application Of the points, which we are
often induced to make. The true basis of the
Federal Unon and the considerations which
induced it, are familiar to all and, yet, iudg.
ing from the present condition Of parties, it
would seem not wholly work Of supereroga-
ton to repeat them again, and again. We
shall not, therefore, fail in this reiteraton be-
cause Of the wilful deafness or hardened and
sinful nature Of Qua adversaries
When the Union Of these States was consum-
mated, the institution Of slavery existed in all Of
them but one. The causes Of its non-existence in
that ono we're not based upon any repugnance
to slavery ITSELF or any sickly philanthropy
upon the subjectwhatever. Had this been the
case, the record would have shown it, and had
the question of the right Of property in slaves
even been mooted, the conclusion is inevitable
that the Union would never have been accom-
plished. The recognition Of the institution O
slavery, then, was not only unanimous by tn,
States but in TWELVE OUT OF THE THIRTEEN
Il absolutely cristed, and that, too, without
even remonstrance from the one that formed
the exception

Something for Southern Know nothings.


The following from leading Northern
Know-nothng journal, will be interesting to
Southern members Of the order:
Knownottingism and Black Republican
ism.-The Albany Register, a leading Know
nothing paper, says that everything, except
in New York, these two titles Know-nothing-
ism and Black Republicanisml are indissolu-
bly, joined together in a holy wedlock.' The
Register further says:
"'If Fremont is elected the country will owe
the american party debt Of gratitude; for it
is not doing injustice to other noble advocates
of freesoil to say that the american organizd-
ton in the East and West is the backbone of
the Republican party.
"Those Germans in our city who lately
formed Fremont club, resolving at the same
time against Know-nothingism, will no doubt
be pleased to know that they have allied them
selves with the very faction against which they
levelled their deuunciation. They will no
doubt be delighted to learn that Black Repub-
licanism lis indissolubly joined in a holy wed.

WORDS OF WISDOM AND PATRIOTISM

WORDS OF WISDOM AND PATRIOTISM.
"The agitation on the question Of domestic
Slavery has too long distracted and divided the
people of the Union and alienated their affec-
tons from each other.
"Most happy would it be for the country, if
this long agitation we're at an end. During
its whole progress it has produced no practical
good to any human being whilst it has been
the source of great and dangerous evils. 1t
has alenated and estranged one portion of the
Union from the other, and has even seriously
threatened its existence. To my own personal
knowledge it has produced the impression
among foreign nations that our great and glo-
rious confederacy is in constant danger of dis
solution. This does US serious injury, because
acknowledged power and stability always COM
mand respect among nations, and are among
the best securities against unjust aggressions,
and in favor of the maintenance of honorable
peace.
"Under these circumstances, l must cheer
fully pledge myself should the nomination of
the convention be ratified by the people, that
all the power and influence, constitutionally
possessed by the Executive, shall be exerted
in firm but conciliatory spirit, during the sin
gle term shall remain in Office, to restore the
same harmony among sister States which pre-
vailed before this apple Of discord, in the form
of Slavery agitation, had been cast into their
midst."-JAMEs BucHASAN's LETTER OF Ac
CEPTANCE.

Grafton received.
Without referring to the immense profit
which these same men have received for trans
porting the products of slave-labor, from the
manufacturing these products, from the sup
plies furnished to the slaves and their masters,
we will simply say
That with this record before it the North sits
in judgment on the South and announces the
verdict:
1t discards the old adage that "the receiver
is as bad as the thief" and its verdict stands
"That the receiver is alone the guilty one."
The thief is not only guiltless in their esti-
nation, but he is the very proper person to ac-
cuse, prosecute, testify against judge, condemn
and execute the receiver; the very thief who
was perfect and absolute and who had given
guarantee of title to the receiver against every
such claimant
The judge is the Northern thief, with the
consideration and guarantee money in his
pocket setting in judgment on the Southern
receiver who holds the judges own bill of sale,
receipts and guarantee Of title in his hands.
Yet the honest thief Judge, chinking his guilt
money, in his pocket, condemns his Southern
receiver.
This is plain unvarnished truthful state
ment in which scarce half the enormity of
Northern guilt is shown, and but portion of
the mnnstrons ininstice IN the South annaars
We will exhibit this in a separate article.

A national Whig Of Alabama, r. w. Walker,
in responding to an invitation to attend and
address Democratic mass meeting, states the
issues in the pending contest with degree of
conciseness and cearness that we have rarely
seen. Here is an extract from bis letter:
Believing that the Democratic party is the
only national party now In existence, and that
upon its success in the present contest depends
the preservation of the rights of the South, if
not indeed, the pery erisiencc Of the Govern
ment itself, / feel il my duty to forego all old
prejudices, forget former differences, and give
my earnest support to the nominees of the
Cincinnati Convention.
"If we're asked to name the fundamental
principles which lie at the basis of our Govern
ment, and on which our free institutions have
been built, as house upon its foundations, |
should answer, the equality Of the States ,ohich
compose the Union, and the equality Of
the citizens who constitute the States. The
first Of these principles is denied and assailed
by the Black Republicans; the second, if not
openly controverted, is at least insdiously at
tackled, by the Know-nothigs. The errors of
these parties, then, (if the terms be not too
mild,) are errors of fundamental and vital
principles, menacing in the one instance, the
civil privileges and the religious liberty Of the
private citizen and in the other, the sovereign
rights of the States and the existence Of the
Union. The Democratic party alone, of all
the organizations now in the field, maintains
and defends both of these essential principles,
and thus, in my humble Judgment entities
itself to the cordialsupport and cooperation OF
all national men, of every section and party.
"Very respectfully, your obedient servant
"R. w. WALKER"

| HONEST SENTIMENTS WELL EXPRESS
ED.-The New Orleans True Delta tells
some home truths to men of the South,
like these
"We have no patience with the brawl-
ing demagogues who swarm in Congress
from the South chanting the eternal
song of Northern aggressions and the
duty of secession"
Look at the records of Congress for
the last ten years, readers of the True
Delta, and you will find in them the
proof that every rascally proposition in
troduced, every scheme proposed, involv-
in enormous appropriations of money by
Congress and heavy blow to Southern
rights and property, has, if not actually
initiated by Southern men, been mainly,
if not wholly, indebted to them for its
success yes, for its success to the votes
of men, not few of whom are eternally
preaching disunsion and disturbing the
business and the quiet of good citizens"
Here is a refreshing lick at Brooks
& Co:
"What the South wants, what the
whole country wants at this crisis are not
brawling bullies or braggarts in Congress
but men of sober sense, acknowledged
intelligence and tried patriotism men
in word who will go there not to brow
beat Yankees and Abolitionists, which
produces no fruits, but will steadily,
ably and always oppose corrupt and bad
measures, and never be drunk abont the
taverns or spending their business hours
in the society of painted harlots who, it
is said, men besieging Congress for ap-
propriations of public money, for some
contract, concession, rascal y job, or
patent right extension, annually bring
from the East to add to the attractions
with which delegates Of weak princi-
pies or feeble integrity are dazzled and
seduced."
Senator Gwin comes in for a slight
rap, as follows:
Cali the iniquitous steamship mail
contract swindles were indebted for their
success to the votes of Southern Sena-
tors and representatives, and indeed
the men of straw to whom the contract
was awarded for the conveyance of the
mails from the Atlantic seaboard to San
Francisco, the most rascally of all the
robberies in that shape, were themselves
really or ostensibly Southern men,"
The honesty of the True Delta will
not allow it to pretend to favor internal
improvements when the policy of the
party is irrevocably set against them
We can quote without rendering our
selves liable to the imputation of labor
ing for effect, now that the election is
over:
"Thanks to the upright and fearless
conduct of our present Chief Magistrate
the scheme of internal improvements
which plant Congress sought to coun-
tenance and sanction was rejected"

In the neighborhood of Freeman's

He has taken the water from a small
stream called Moonshine, and has car
ried it in ditch high over the hills on
the north bank of the Middle Yuba-a
height to which many old miners told
him he could not get it; but he differed
with them in opinion, and persevered in
his scheme, and now he laughs at them
for their Observation-Disclosures, while the
streams of water from his ditch are pour
