Mortality among HOGS.

The farmers on the Big Miami,
(Ohio) says the Cincinnati Gazette,
from New Baltimore to Venice, are
losing nearly all their hogs by Sc
we're epidemic, which carries off 90
out Of every 100 attacked, within two
hours after the symptoms are mani
tested. The farmers call the disease
cholera; the spasms and other symp-
toms exhibit similar evidences of con-
gestion to those manifested by human
beings seized with that fatal disorder.
A. c. HI. Cone, Esq, has lost 800
hogs, and L. B. Clarkson, Esq, over
200; neighboring farmers have lost
in proportion. These we're lively,
healthy hogs, not still-fed. A panic
prevails among the hog feeders Of the
above district, and they are selling off
as fast as they can.

The Mgger and White Man. The
position of the opponents of the
democratic party at the North may
be plainly understood from the fol.
lowing paragraph which we clip from
an Illinois paper:
Aln our view of the principle OIL
Republicanism we know of no infe-
riority of race, in regard to social
and civil rights. In our eye, the
Negro and the White races stand
side by and on an equality. The
depreciating inferiority Of the Negro
race, exists only in the Theory Of

Too Much TwIsfNG.--The follies
of grown people are frequently brought
out by children in startling promi-
nenee.. Two girls of twelve OF four
teen years passed along Luke street,
recently, surrounded by hoop and
trailing long dresses over the dirty
pavement. They were novices in
the management of such rigging, but
determined to acquire the art or die
in the attempt. ''Do I twist too
much?' asked one of the anxious
couple, as she wriggled along. ooh,
no." said the other, dropping little
behind to observe her, 'but if you
could raise on your toes as you squirm,

Ability of the South for Self-Defence

The fippancy with which the Black
Republican papers talk Of easily over
running the South, in the event of
that rupture which they seem deter
mined to bring about, is happily re-
buked by a Northern. conservative
Journal, which reminds the braggarts
of some facts and circumstances they
do not seem properly to have con-
sidered. 1t shows, in the first place,
that there is no hope Of that servile
revolt upon which some of these fends
in human shape calculate. and which
they are anxious to excite; the only
possible result Of three millions I'M
armed rising against six millions
armed being an universal massacre.
Nor would the South, on account of
the servile population, be incapable of
contending with the North, or any
foreign nation. So far from this, our
contemporary expresses it as his de-
liberate opinion that the South would
be more powerful, as an Independent
nation, with her slaves, than without
them:-
In carrying on war, multitude of
men are required as teamsters and for
othei manual labor. For many such
purposes, negroes would be more use
ful than white men, in Southern eli
mates; and being necessarily scat
tered, and in the presence OF neigh
borhood of an armed force, they would
not make the slightest resistance, if
disposed. But it is probable a great
many Of them would side with their
masters from affection and choice
The South has double the white pop
ulation which the whole country had
during the war Of independence; then
she has also a mighty arm in her
sickly climate (sickly to Northern
constitutions and wide extent of ter
ritory. The South could, if neces-
sary, raise a force of 100000 fight
ing men; sufficient TO resist any army
that could be sent against them from
any quarter. In short, we do not be-
lieye that there is. nation on earth
that could conquer the South. The
North could not. Great Britain, with
all her power, could not. Neither do
we believe that a war with the South
would give freedom to many slaves.
Those near the frontiers would, of
course, be early sent into the interior
beyond the reach of scouting parties
and abolitionists. The English. in the
war of 1923, in spite of all their
efforts, captured or decoyed about
5000 slaves, for which they afterward
Unidentified the owners.
Now here is poor prospect for a
Black Republican invasion, according
to the candid statement of this indie
pendent Northern journal. We adj
wise these traitors to the Constitution
to give up their insane projects of
forcing the South into a dissolution
and civil war. The time has not yet
arrived, when an attempt to subjugateI
the South would be other than mad
ness.

A JUST TRIBuTE.

Fhe Memphis Bulletin, which has
strong Fillmore proclivities, and will,
|Ws think, support him, under protest
however, administers the following se-
we're rebuke to know-nothmg orators
and papers, and just compliment to-
Mr.. Buchanan's private and public
character, exalted patriotism, and
broad nationality
We regret to say, that,sin general,
the presses and speakers opposed to
Dir. Buchanan are adopting tone Of
language and a tenor Of sentiment as
regards him, which cannot fail to re-
coil upon themselves, and to prove a
disadvantage rather than a help to the
election of Mr.. Fillmore. 1t is idle
to pretend that Mr.. Buchanan is not
entitled to the respect of his country
men, as ripe, experienced Statesman,
who has rendered long and distin-
guished service to the Republic. He
is. an old man, who has grown grey in
the public service, without one blot
upon his personal integrity or private
honor. His patriotism has never been
been impeached, and cannot be. In
most, if not all, the questions which
have divided the country, we have diff
fered from him. In the position he
now stands before the country, as the
representative of a party to which we
had always been opposed-and espe-
cially as the representative Of prin-
ciple ayowed in the Ostend Confe-
renee, giving countenance to the spirit
Of aggression and acquisition already
too rife in our landAthere is much to
render his elevation to the Chief
Magistraey undesirable to us. There
is but one extreme contingency in
which we could give him our suffrage
las dernief resort to escape the
domination of pure sectionalism.-
But, while thus radically differing from
Mr.. Buchanan in the domestic policy
which he would inaugurate, we freely
concede to him, in this crisis of our
public affairs, the conservatism Of q
broad nationality Of principle and SEN
timent, and a fidelity to the Consti-
tuition which might be implicitly re-
lied upon. 55a ~
