NOVEMBER Is THE TINS TO DRIVE THEM =
Rev Dr. Bethune, in his address at the inau-
guraton of the statuate of Washington, spoke
as follows of the Father of his country, our
Union, aud of those who would tear it asun-
der:
God made him. and gave him to US. in him
self the type of what our Republic should be,
in all his elements great. even consistent-each
vigorous in its own action, yet all held in har-
monous balance by the unity of a single pur-
pose. No wonder his work survived him
Survived him? No. He still lives, though
his mortal frame has long been dust. God
who gave, keep that life with us, when that
spirit is lost. when our elements revolt from
their enemies, and. like the maniac among the
tombs, whose devils were legion. we cut and
tear ourselves. this fair confederacy will soon
lie beneath the heavens the most mangled,
loathsome corpse that ever polluted the breath
of humanity with its putri6cation. Some of
the devils are in US now. o, for the God of
our fathers to drive them out and down into
the sea of an infamous oblivion r'

conversing with the delegates to the County
Convention, which re-asscm5led on that day
for the purpose of nominating candidate for

the most encouraging and gratifying reports
James Buchanan, is stronger in the affections
of the people of this county, than he ever was
before, and the result in November will prove
it to demonstration. The Democracy, are
determined to bury Known Nothingism and

The Election.

We are not sorry that the heat and strife
OF the Presidential contest is over, and that
for few months at least the din of the con-
tending forces will be hushed. James Blu
chanan il elected President against our ear
nest Efforts, and wishes, but should his ad-
minstration rebound to the honor and pros
perily VI our common country, and be pro-
motive Of those great principles Of liberty
on which rest the foundations Of our gov
erument, there Is not one Of his warmest
supporters who would b. more rCjoiced ut
such result than ourselves. We have no
such expest,tion, however, but let this pass.
Deeply as we regret the result, we shall not
repinc over it, or assail the providence which
has ordered il. Our faith in the ultimate
triumph Of our cause is mistaken. Our
cause is the cause Of virtue truth and right
eousness, and when these prevail, our cause
will succeed. We have labored untiringly
in its support, and 50 far as tho circle OF the
influence If our paper extends, successfully.
We look now calmly back upon the past
and can see no opportunity lost to perform
our duty. " Duties were ours events were
Gods" With this feeling we have labor
ell, and with this spirit we shall work,
knowing that Providence overrulesa all things
and is always ''from seeming evil still educ
ing good"
In the first issue of our paper, published
now near twelve years since, pervaded by a
deep abhorence of slavery, feeling it to 10
morally, socially and politically wrong,
and after having had some opportunity of
ascertainins its practical efrscts on the COM
munities in which it exists, we declared it to
he our purpose in the management of our
paper "to oppose unainchingly the extern
sion Of institutions Of a sectional character
and at variance with human rights" This
was said alta time when it WIS not consider
I'd the extreme Of radicalisn to oppose the
extension of slavery. In fact il was before
the dogma, that slavery is national, and lib
erty sectional, was accepted, even at the
south. All men and oil parties at the
North regarded It right to labor to prevent
its extension. We have not changed, nor is
our hostility To slavery extension lessencd.
At all times and under all circumstances we
have adhered to the determination thus ear.
ly expressed. In the hour Of darkness when
the leaders OF the party with which We were
connected f,ltercd, and some Of them even
fell by the waysldc, we pcrseyered. Bound
to no party, only 50 long as that party ad-
hercd to principle, We have kept steadily in
view our expressed determination to do all
in our power to prevent the extension Of
slavery. We SEQ no cause TO regret these
eajrts, on the contrary much that is cheer
ing. The silver hnins orthe cloud which
now darkens the political horizon is plainly
porccpable, and We shall continue to work,
waiting patiently for the early coming Of
that day when the good time coming shall
! be the good time come.
