Mississippi, is pleased to denounce the editor of
this journal as Bennett, the abolitionist," be-
cause of our advocacy Of Fremont's election
but this is only part of the great mistake of
excluding from the Southern States, by mobs and
terrorism, even fair discussion of the claims
of Fremont as State rights constitutional can
didate for the Presidency. On the other hand, it
our niger worshipping contemporary of the
Tribune gloats over this news of projected South
eln servile instructions. Thurlow Weed, of the
Albany Journal, rubs his hands together with
something Of the same chuckle Of satisfaction.
Such malignant Northern agitators as these
would doubtless rejoice in seeing the whole
South sub ected to the horrors OF st. Domingo
massacre; but we have no more sympathy for
uch plotters Of sedition than for the besotted
abolitionist found tampering with the slaves of a
Southern community. We confess, too, that
such journals in behalf Of Fremont as the New
York Tribune and Albany journal, not only con-
tributed much to the forcible exclusion Of the
Fremont ticket from the Southern States, but
very much to its defeat among the Union loving
When our Northern abolitionists commenced
their political agitation of the slavery question
they we're few in numbers, and in political in
fuence they were beneath contempt. But
Southern political demagogues took up the hint,
and for their own selfish party purposes CON-
menced counter-agtation in the South. This
was exactly what our Northern abolitionists de-
sired. Ii let alone they would have died a natural
death; but violent Southern counter agitation
gave them at once abundant capital and employ
ment. From that day to this, between Northern
niger worshippers and Southern niger drivers
the fires of discord have been supplied with fuel,
upon every pretext Of excitement until nothing
is spoken of but general confagration. Mig
gers-niggers-it is nothing but niggers. With
the meeting Of Congress, the political niger
worshippers of the North and the niger drivers
Of the South 60 at it, hammer and tongs. Our
white people have been lost sight Of entirely. We
have nothing left US now at Washington but mig
ger agtators and spoilsmen, and government
devoted exclusively to niggers and spos.
Looking at this state of things in the North,
in the South, and at Washington among our
niger agitating demagogues, is it matter Of
wonder that the ignorant and credulous Southern
blacks should be led astray? They see the hub
hub around them-they see strange doings going
on in politics-they hear mysterious outgivings
of disunion. revolution, and civil war, mixed up
with an incessant repetition Of slaves niggers
black republicans &c; and what more natural
than that they should turn all these things into
mischief?
We hope and pray that the Inauguration of Mr.
Buchanan will mark the dawning of better day.
The dabbling Of poor Pierce in this dirty niger
linen has cost u. quite enough, in all conscience
We lad peace, and he has given US discord; we
had harmony. and he has given US confusion; and
now we look TO Ir. Buchanan, in rigid policy of
