ted States, and @portion Of the Old Line wing
party, united with conservative constitutional
men, to preside over the deslinies Of their Re-
public. No contest since The origin of the gov

that which is just concluded. Sectional differ
ences Of the most serious character have perva-
ded the parties sllarshaled, sagninst each other,
aud pride of opinion, bitter animosity, and every
effort which partisan strife could introduce: have

constitutional liberty still exists to give hope 10
the patriots heart that TIC. rights of the South

The South has never been in better position
that she now is She is united as she never has
been since her existence, and has great nation
al party, organized on constitutional principles,
10 defend her claims under the Constitution. If
she is true TO heyself she can preserve her pre-
sent position, and bid defiance to her enemies.
The Constitution has triumphcd in this election,
and with it the rights of the South will for four
years be vindicated, as they have been by the
true and noble exponent of principle who has
for the last fourycars directed the helm Of gov.
ernment. We Believe Dir Buchanan will carry
out. The views which Mr.. Pierce has so nobly and
consistently defended. In every position in
which he has been placed he has done his duty
faithfully and with efficiency. We have every
condolences that he will deserve the vote he has
received from the South, and do all in his power
To prcserve, protect aud defend the Constitution.
By the returns as received, it appears that
every Southern State has voted for MIR. Buchan.
an except Maryland, and it is strange that she
should vole against the influence of such sinnnch
men as her Whis senators:-sou'h car0linian.

day Inst. snys the Columbus Sun, "a serious
alfray occurred between Mr. Eli Spvy and Mr.
Washington Blackburn, which ended in Black
burns shooting Spivy, the shot taking effect in

Gus, though lis physician pronounces his case
not entirely hopeless. Spivy, we understand,
had pistol and bowie knife in his hands when
he was shot down. Mr. Blackb is said to be
peaceable man, and was, on this occasion, per,
frctly sober, and il represented as having acted
entirely on the defensive.
We also understand that Mr. john Aber
crombie, had one wrist badly cut with the bowie
knife in The hands of Spivy." .:
