The Athens post. [volume] (Athens, Tenn.) 1848-1917, 1856-09-26

eTy- The friends of Fremont and Buch.
nnan agree admirably on one important ques
tion of American policy, They both hold
that immigration is desirable to the country
and that no change should be made in our
Naturalization laws. The argument with the
Fremonters is that the Immigrants are all in
favor Of free labor aud free soil. The argu.
ment with the Buchanan men is that il would
be ilberal and proscrptive to curtal the
privileges hitherto granted to foreigners. Be-
tween the two the South Is crushed by the
grinding weight of the foreign power, in al
lance with freesoism.
The Athens post. [volume] (Athens, Tenn.) 1848-1917, 1856-09-26

t9g- The Baltimore Patriot, in long ar.
ticle on Mr.. Buchanan's political life, shows
him up as having been at different periods
anti-democrat, democrat, peace advocate,
filibuster, tariff, anti-tarf, bank, anti-bank
Missouri compromise, Kansas Nebraska, an
t.slavery, pro.savery; and, in short, has al
ways kept himself in that soft state which
enables the dominant party to mould him in
TO any form it pleased; the newest shape in
TO WHICH he has heen converted being that oI
the Cincinnati platform.

The BoAsTIyG DEMocRAcY.-The Colum.
bia $50. Ca) Times, Staterights Demo-
cratic organ, after aluding to the overwhenl-
ing defeat of the Democracy in Maine, very
per.inently asks: ....
What now becomes of the silly boast Of
the organs and leaders of the Democracy, that
every State in the North, save only Vermont
and Massachusetts, would vote for Buchanan
and Breckenridge? 1t is fast turning out to
be mere braggart assumption-all gas. Not
only has the Black Republican minority in
Vermont largely increased, but it has sweled
its numbers m Iowa and Maine and New
Hampshire. The results in these States will
have their effects in other States, in which
elections are yet to be held, and we fee sure
that the opinion, which we long ago and oft
times promulged, will be confirmed to the
very letter, viz: that the whole North and all
parties in the North are fast becoming wholly
abolitionzed.

The HEAVENLY MEASURE or TimEs---
The following extract from Mr.. Everett's AL
bany address is perfect gem: @
"But for the kindreds, and tribes, and
tongues of men, each upon their own meri-
dan, from the Arctic pole to the Equator,
from the Equator TO the Antartic pole, the
eternal sun strikes twelve at noon, and the
glorious consultations, far in the everlasting
belfries of the skies, chime twelve ut mid
night-twelve for tho pale student over his
Pickering lamp-twelve amid the flaming
glories of Oron's belt, If he crosses the me-
rldan ut that fatal hour-twelve by the wea.
ry couch of languishing humanty-twelve
in the star-paved courts oc empyrean-twelve
for the heaving tides of the ocean--twelve
for the weary arm Of labor--twelve for the
toiing brain-twelve for the watching,
waking, broken henrt-twelve for the
meteor which blazes for moment and OK.
pires-twelve for the comet whose period is
measured by centures-twelve for every SUBJ
stantial, for every imaginary thing which ex.
