The NORTHERN EPIsooPALIAN OLEReY APpLAUpHr
By SoUTHERNKR-PRAoTIcAL CHRIsrIAsITY.--Ths
Rev. LEWIS TRAPER Of Charleston, 8. G., has sd.
dressed letter to the Charleston Mercury, Oct

Convention recently held at Philadelphia, he says
"And from first to last, with the exception of q
single speech, which, though infammatory enough
fell like spark upon the water, not word has
escaped from any one, however far away in the
north, or the east or the west, which might no,
have been spoken at the corners of Broad and

York and Virginia exchange and interchange con.
tinual courteses; Ohio and Mississippi are arm in
arm; Maine and Texas go side by side; and the
whole Convention in both Houses, by acclsms
ton, agree to meet next south OF Mason & Dixon
line, in Richmond, Va, expressly to give proof to
the southern brethren Of confidence and affection
and evidence to all the rsst of the world, thai
however conscientiously we may differ, even about

SUGAR CROP OF THE SoUTH.-It was wise and
prudent legislation in Congress thst brought about
tie appropriation of some $4,000 to procure
fresh supplies of sugar cane for planting in the
States next season-for, while our demand for the
article has increased with the great increase OF OUT
population, the extent of the sugar crop ha. been
decreasing for several yesra. 1t is not that lees
lands are planted OF less care taken in the cultva
ton, but the cane itsefhss deterjorsted yielding
less and less saccharine substance 1t is believed
that new plants will increase and improve our
crop-and the beliefs certainly most reasonable
one.
The store-ship Release, under the command of
Lieut.. Simms, of the Navy, well appointed for
purchasing and bringing into Eew Orleans early
next year, an entire cargo of new plants from the
West Indies and the shores of Central America,

The object is an important one and we are as
sured that it has been placed in the hands of
young snd efficient navy officer, who will accom-.

A STRIKING CONTRAST.

We ask candid and intelligent men to reflect for
one moment, (ssys the PeansylUanian), upon the
striking contrast between the large cities Phisde
phia and New York, where the democrats gave
sucn overwhelming msjorities, and the strorgholds
of know nothingism, Baltimore and New Orleans,
In the two former, the democrats have the control
of the police force in the latter that force is sub.
servient to know nothing misrule. In the two
former cities, every person legally entitled to vote,
was allowed to do so without hindrance or moes-
cation; in the two latter cities, legal voters were
driven from the polls and thousands were prevent
ed from voting by threats, violence and intimida-
ton.
In Baltimore especially, the city presented the
appearance of 8 town taken by storm; men were
shot down remorselessly for attempting to vote,
as if they bad been venomous serpens or ferocious
wild beasts. The know nothing Mayor, we have
no doubt, enjoyed the appalling spectacle with as
much zsst as Nero is said to have done that of the
burning of Rome The list of killed AID wounded
more resembles that of pitched battle, than the
consequences of riot Mayor KINKS has won
lRurels that will be enduring as cast iron. How

ANDREW J. DONELSON.

Some of our opponents, in excuse of their re-
cent defeat, are uncharitable enough to attribute
the resu It. in part to the fact that Ma Douelson
WAS on their ticket While we agree with them
most cordially that Maj. Donelson weakened their
ticket, we insist that Mr.. Fl more did the same
thing. As little use as we have for Maj. Donelson
az a politician, Invested of his vanity, he is the
equal. if not the superior, of Willard Fillmore in
every particular. His tutilage, early associations,
habits of thought sympathies, prejudices and in.
tsrests have all the advantage OF the antiMssonic
Erie.Aboition representative Of 1888. At no
period in public history has Maj, D. been in po-
stion less favorable than Mr. Fillmore, except IS
far as his superior adv sntaees in early life augment
his present responsibility. We would not pre-
tend to say that at the present time one has the
slightest advantage over the other, but Maj. Don
elson and his friends have the consciousness of
knowing that there agaS time when no man in
Tennessee would have supported Fillmore, whilz
a majority were in sentiment with DCuelsor -
Upon questions of revenue and finance, the ac-
QUESTION of territory, our domestic and foreign
relations, the Tennessean has the greater part of
his life been right, whilst the New Yorker has all
the time been wrong. Independent Of know-noth-
ingism and snti-slavery, which have rendered Mr..
Fillmore so obnoxious to the people of Tennessee,
his opinions on no question accord with the
sentiments or interests of our State. We are not
prepared to say the same of Maj. DODelson. We
are willing to take the Washington Union, of
which Ms Donelson was the editor during Mr.
Fillmores administration, and the then Presidents
organ, the Republic, and try the two defeated can
didates upon them, and if by the record, Maj D. |
has not infinitely the advantage, we will admit |
that the Tennessesn was the dead weight to the |
ticket, and not the New Yorker.
In conclusion what Northern State did Mr.. FIJI.
more carry ? Not one In the South MAJ. Don.
elson may point to Maryland Compare the vote
the know-nothing ticket received North and
South, and it will be found that the section from
which the tail of the ticket was taken embraces the
the only States in which Know NothingsEl can be
said to have been party to the race Let Justice

THE FRAUDS AND OUrRAGEs IN BALTIMORE.
The Baltimore Republican of the 9Th says:

"There is not man in this city who does not
know that the bloody tragedy of yesterdy, called
an election, was . mere horrible nsockery-that
thousands of illegal votes wers poled By the oppo-
sition to the Democracy and that thousands of hon.
est voters were prevented from giving their votes
by the organized and armed bands of ruffsns, who
at an early hour, took possession of the polls and
kept possession throughout the day. In several of
the wards the majority of the know nothings is
greater than the whole legal VOTE and yet the DEM
ocrsts were scarcely permitted to poll vote. These
facts were early reported to the Mayor, and were
treated by him with perfect Indifference; his police
force was enlisted everywhere upon the side ofthe
rowdies, and the increased vote which they receiv-
cd shows conclusvely that their services were very
efective-against the Democracy
'fThe course of the know nothing press, inclu
ding the American and Patriot has been such as
to encourage and stimulate the state of things
which has brought such disgrace upon the city.
The Patriot, with vulgsrity and indecency only
equalled by the Clipper, sneered at the Governor,
and ridculed his desire to maintain the peaca of
the city, ard complimented Mayor Kinks upon his
refusal to accept Of any aid, thus showing q per-
feet understanding among the eoaltonists as to the
plan Of carrying the election in this city. We
would ask what the coalitionists have accomplish
ed by their violence and fraud and murders2"

THE FOREIGN VOTE.

The New York Times, a leading Fremont paper,
uses the language which we copy below in at
tempting to show why the ''pro-slavery party" as
calls the democratic party, succeeded in the late
election. We ask the citizens of Tennessee who
have listened to the incessant cries of the know
nothings here that the foreigners were abotOnists
to read the article. What documentary is it upon
ago which furnished the staple of know-nothing
speeches in the last election for Governorl
ain the first place, the whole foreign vote
Irish and German, has been cast for Buchanan
There may Lave been here and there some scat
tering German votes given for Fremont. In this
CITY and in one or two of the Western States this
has probably been the case:-but on the whole we
do not believe that one tenth part of the German
vote has been given to the Republican ticket As
for the Irish, they have gone in droyes, as they al
WAYS do go-tor the regular democratic ticket
They will probably never do any thing else, as
long as they remain Irish and it takes at least two
generations to convert them into Americans -
They seem to lack the faculty of individual action
or Of exercising a personal Judgment on public
affairs. They vote In herds, and are of course,
managed like other herds, under the control of
skiliful and experienced drivers

man loves like the opportunity to tyrannize over

gro Having been the victim of oppression, as he
supposes, all his life at home his only notion of
liberty here is that he can treat somebody else in
the same STYLE The Irish haze been told all
through the late canvass, by the leaders of the
Buchanan party, that Col. Fremont if elected
would immediately set all the slaves free and
bring them North to take the bread out of the
mouths of the laboring Irish They believed it,
of course Their ignorance and credulity make
them the ready dupes of every cock-and-bnll story
that jumps with their inclinations. They care no
more for the principles of Freedom, or for any
other principles than they do for anything else of
which they have no conception. They care moth
ing for slavery-except that they are rather il
favor of it for negroes and are resouteIy opposed
to anything that looks like making negroes free
and thus their equals. They never look ahead !:
both at home and here, toresighs-the prevention
of future evils of any kind-seems to be beyond
their capacity They look out only for themselves,
and that only for to day. Everything else must
take of itself Ia our political contests, they
neither read nor think. Ii they attend political
meetings, it is to hurrah to order-not to listen or
to learn. They follow throughout their instincts,
their prejudiees their hatreds and their leaders,"

ELECTION RIOTS IN BALTIMORE.

The Patriot of this city copies lengthy article
from the Baltimore Patriot, know nothing organ,
attempting to shield its party from the heavy
curse that rests upon it for the recent riots, by
which, in part, Mar ysnd was carried for Fillmore,
We would feel it Our duty to comment freely upon
these bloody proceedings, by which all law has
been disregsrded and the rights of citizens tram
Piled in the dust, could we believe for moment
that the party committing them has any longer
an existence. But know-nothipgsm is dead
dead beyond the hope of resurrection.
1t is unpleasant to recall these disgracefnl incl
dents in the history of the recent party. Unless
actually necessary, we shall be inclined, therefore,
to avoid it. Any effort to fix the responsibility
on the democratic party is simply ridiculous. The
fact that il was democratic blood that was always
shed-democratic houses that were always burned,
and democratic votes that were always refused,
fixes the responsibility beyond question. But
there is another reason more potent than all these:
the Municipal authority Of these cities aoas in the
hands of the knosO-aothiag party-they had the
Mayor and police and could have prevented it if
they desired. The leading democrats of Balti-
more went in person to the Mayor of that city
and pettioned for an increase of the police that
these occurrences, easily foreseeu, might be avoid
ed. 1t was refused them. A peaceable election
was the very thing the Mayor did not want
Democrats must be driven from the polls and it
could only be done through the instrumentslity of
riots. We would not to-day have the conscience
and the blood upon our hands that the Mayor has,
for the world itself. Cursed on earth, he must
be doubly damned in eternity. In respect for hu-
msnity, we regret that such creature exists. In
memory of her Early history, we deplOre the low
degree to which Baltimore city has fallen. As
southerners, we are ashamed that such another
crime should have been perpetrsted in slave
State. Now that the know-nothing party is dead,
let every good man pray that its like may never
he seen again.

WELL SAID.

The Columbus, Ga, Times, commenting on
the Commercial Convention, which is to meet al
Savannah on the 9th of December next, very ap.
propriately remarks:
First Of all, however, the Southern people must
be taught that their sky is as blue their lightning
is as bright their thunder is as loud as that Of New
England and New York. A great many Southern
people have doubts on these points. They really
believe that our soil is poorer, our climate more
rigorous, our people less civilized and much Rzer
than the soil, climate and people further North
They forget that Washington, Jefferson, jackson
and Calhoun were born Southerners; or compute
them ss small men in comparison to the Laws,
Vanderbilts, Stewards and Astors, of New Y ork.
1t was long time before they would admit that
Georgia peaches were as juicy as those grown in
New Jersey. 1t is now the current opinion that
our roses are not as fragrant those they purchase
North. This is scoursging view of our situs.

removing the plants which grow up around the
roots of the first bearing tree and one rancho we
know OF, on which there is at present but one
thousand trees, could in two years be made to
grow fifty thousand. We have no data on which

BETTING ON TIE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION In
KENTUCKY

Throughout Kentucky the betting on that State
between the Fillmore and Buchanan men was as
tonishingly heavy. We are informed that many
gentlemen, possessed of large amounts of proper
ty, staked absolutely every thing-cash, jswelry,
houses and lots, farms, stores. manufactures,
alsves cattle, horses, buggies and harness. and are
suddenly reduced from sfluence to poverty-es-
sentislly and from the foundations Cleaned cut !"
The losers have, of course, been the Fillmore men.
A gentleman just from Louisville informs US with
some exsggeration, we presume, but much truth,
doubtless) that there is not know nothing IN
that city who owns horse and buggy OF which
he was possessed previous to the election and that
few have been in pecuniary condition, since that
struggle, to make purchases. The democracy,
however, are flush. They are arrayed in splendid
| new suits of clothes, paid for by know nothings
their pockets are full Of know nothing money, they
ride about in carriages that were until recently the
property of know nothpgs, and are fsttening on

ONE OF THE FRAUDS.

The fraud expose, in the following article from
the Murfreesboro Neucs is but one of the many
which the cry of "black carpet bag men" was
raised to hide. To what extent this one was
practiced we have no means of knowing. To as
large degree as possible there can be no doubt
that we were cheated by our opponents:
As an evidence Of the desperate efforts of the
opponents of the damocratc party to secure by any
means the success Of their candidates, we will
state that just before dinner time the follow ticket
was found circulating among voters at this pre-
cinct. We have heard of this form of ticket at
some other voting places in the county. 1t was
well calculated to deceive the unsuspecting. This
ticket was in the words and figures following:
