not less influential, are advocating the cause OF
Democracy and at the same time, putting forth
in the most significant manner, the tenets of
aboitlonism.
The view taken Of politics by such men is,
that Democracy and Abolitionism are married
one to the other, and that hetwo, handin-hand
must flourish or fall together. The whole truth
of the matter is, that since the real issues have
been PITT 10 rest, each politician and Journalist,
has assumed to himself the perogative to say
what is. aud what is not Democracy Some
in the North, contend that abolitionismis apart
Of the democratic faith, while in the south, such
AN i1ea is repudiated with the greatest abhor-
encc.
The democratic papers in the North are in
favor of promoting emigration, as being the
readicst means to prescribe the extension Of
slavery, while in the South, the Journals of the
same party favor the doctrine Of free and uni
versal naturalization in order to accomplish a
purpose directly opposite to that proposed by
democratic aboitionists north Of Mason and
Dixon's line
Did we say there was no national party
# VIC did it was a mistake. The state rights
men in the ranks of all parties will sooner
or later, be under the NECESSITY of uniting and
organizing themselves into great national par
ty, and on that step the perpetuity ofour Union
now hangs suspended. There are hundreds
and thousands of men in our country found
in both parties in whose bosoms the principle
of the Union of the States, reigns SUI
preme; and these viii not hesitate when the
time arrives to lay aside all other opinions and
| principles for The time being and eleaye unto
/ this sole one the Union Of the States and pro-
ction to the rights Of the South.
| When such crisis comes as grand contest
/ between the constitution loving men and nor
thern fanatics, then will be the time when the
material now "lying scattered around loose,
will be tied up in something and the great
National Union Party will be organized
There is no union among the Democrats ol
the Native Americans in Congress, which is
shown by the fact that so much difficulty is
being had in the election of speaker of th(
House Of Representatives. The feeling be
tween the Southerners and Northerners IS be
ing developed, and very much excited by
this difficulty, snd will continue to grow unit
the great crisis between the North and th'
South will become inevitable
It seems from the movements of the partie
north, that such crisis has been coming ol
for some years, we look on it now ASA iixe'
fact that it will come and there can be N
help for it, If it must come, the sooner til
better The South has but one position t
take, and when the moment arrives for actor
i we have not a doubt but that she will b

G. G. McWhorter-Who will in future con-
duct its columns.
Distinguished as tho Judge is, as much for
suatiter in mode, as .Jortiter IN re, We predict
for him, u useful, and brilliant career. The
laborer is worthy Of his line, and may the
Judge be amply rewarded for the laborious res
possibilities he has taken on himself
The course pursued by Mr.. Mann, has been
one Of honor and credit TO himself-hc has been
as an editor, staunch, and an effective adyo-
cate ofthe doctrines of native Americanism.-
May his after life be as happy as his politics
are pure and bright.
~" Attention is called to the article found
in another column, taken from the True Delta.
The movement is a good one, and the only
Danger is that it will not be carried out. We
are heartily tired Of foreign paupers, and Grim
ina,s in our country--let them go elsewhere
in future. lfgood men, and industrious would
com, to our shores from other countries, we
would receive them with open arms. But
American society is too much diluted already
with the refuse population of the world.
Ouo DEMocrAcy.-rhc following very sig
nticen, resolution was passed by the "Nation-
al Democracy" of Ohio, at their recent conven-
ton:
Rtsolrea, That the people of Ohio, noac, as
they haze alrags done look upon slavery as
an evil and unf,vorably to the DEVELOPMENT OF
the spirit and practical benefit of free institu-
tions and that, entertaining these sentiments,
they will at all times feel it to be their duty to
use all power clearly given by the terms Of the
National compact, to prerent its influence, to
mitigate, and finally, to eradicate its erils.
These, reader, are the principles and scnti-
ments Of the Pierce Democracy of Ohio the
regular "National Democracy and it will
be with men entertaining these sentiments that
the delegates to the National convention at
Cincinnati will be compelled to affiliate, not
only from Ohio, but from New York, and all
the free States. The Charleston Mercury de-
clares that the South cannot, with honor, go
into this Convention, because it would be ego
ing into fellowship with abolitionists and free
Soilers.' What think the old line conserva.
tive Wings Of Georgia, to such fellowship
Is abolitionsm and freesoilism less obroxious
10 tAem than Americanisn? In other words
will they affiliate with the Ohio democracy
and the New York softs, the Van Burens in
ellaed, because Of their hostility to the Amer
lean Party, whose platform on the slavery
question is the soundcst ever adopted by any
national party? Will Southern Wings, intell
gen rejecting men, permit themselves to be
! led into such an utilization from sheer preju
dicc-certainly no one but the place seekers
will thus Stuit:fy themselves. .-.Iugusts (Gd.

Tue Two spHolEs OF FRiENDs.--
Personal friendship is one thing; real
estate friendship is another. Nearly
every person In the world has some of
one or the other kind.
The above two kinds Of friendship
are well illustrated by the dog and the
cat. The feline animal loves the house,
not the individual. Raise cat up
from kittenlood, treat him well, give
bin plenty Of milk, meat and delica-
cies, now move from the old house, and
after putting the animal in bae, take
the sleek, fat, comfortable, grown up
eat with you--it will not be many hours
after You release il, ere YOU will dis
cover that Tie treacherous thing Is mis-
sing Go directly back to the old
house--you will find it there, sure -
Try the bag transportation operation
over again as often as you choose, The
result will be the same--you have, by
loosing your house lost your friend
the cat.
On the other hand, raise dog up
from puppyhood ; kick him, cuff him.
abuse bin, wrong hin, starve him
now leave your house, your city, your
country that noble and faithful brute
will follow you like your shadow he
loves you for yourself In many eases
even death cannot sever this friendship
whose love rises TO sublimity, whose
gratitude is unspeakably deep. The
difference between the dog and the
cat in this respect is great; the gulf
between their two natures insurpass-
able.
We leave it to the experience Of
every man who has lived twenty-five
years, and had any kind Of " time in
the world, to say whether he has not
had at least one dog friend and one
cat-friebd. When we wise to use
