North are not so deluded, that they are not
thus fanatic; but that there are patriots and
statesmen there, knowing our rights, dare
help US maintain them. 1t is with pleasure
that turn from the darker TO the lighter
side Of the picture. Let Black Republican.
ism trail its sable banner in the dust, then
the white Democracy, under the lead of a
Buchanan and Breckinrdge, will soon re-.
store peace to Kansas, and the equality of
the several States Of the Union will again
be recognized as the palladium of our liber-
ties. Nothing short of this law can save
the republic.
But let me admonish you to rest your
hopes of salvation upon no political party
at the North. 1t seems that the light which
guided their councils, in days Of yore, is
now on the wane. Their Pierces and Bucha-
mans cannot save US from the misrule and
ruin Of Black Republicanism, if the great
mass of the people North be rotton to the
core, as | fear is the case. Our patriotic
friends there may not be able to sustain
themselves in the approaching storm, much
less save US from its ravages. Let US thank
them for their sympathy; honor them for
their courage; support them for the support
they are rendering our cause; but if they
cannot save themselves and the Union, let
us at least save our institutions and the
South. Doubt not our ability to do so. If
the South but wills it, she has all the ele.
ments of a great and mighty republic shaped
to hand. With her identity Of interests and
similarity of pursuits, the formation of a
Federal Government to suit her necessities
would be but tho work Of a day--woud be
matter Of much less difficulty than that
experienced in the recent organization of the
House Of Representatives Of the present
Congress- But willing as am to try the
experiment, if forced upon US by the unjust
measures Of the North, have to say in con.
clusion, may God enlighten their understand,
ing, prevent the necessity Of u separation,
grant US peace--perpetual peace--and save
the Union.

thus leads in daring and noble deeds
In the address OF Col. Caughman, he ve-
ry appropriately suggested to the ladies of
Lexington and Edgefeld, the propriety Of
their having a more imposing monument
erected to the memory Of these common
sufferers in a common cause. Both districts
should equally participate in rendering these
honors to their dead, for the bones Of their
best sons lie mingled together in one CON-
mon grave.
WHITE FOLKS SHOWED BACK TO MAZE
Room FOR N1CcERs.-The last number OF
the Martinsvle Monitor gives the following
incident, which occurred at the Fremont Bar.
bacuc in Morgan county, Michigan:
"The most characteristic part of the
whole affair occurred at the table: A me-
chanic who had hitherto been strong Ere.
mont man, was on the ground with his wife
and child. At a given word he attempted to
cross the rope to the table, but was met by
one of the marshals and told to stand back
and give room for the ladies. lie stepped
back as he was told, when seven or eight
women as bluck us tho ace Of spades advan-
ced before him to the table, and ate with the
rest Of the Fremont ladies and gentlemen.
This was too much for him. He tore the
Fremont badge from his breast, and swore,
although lie was poor mechanic, yet he was
better than u negro. He said that il he and
his wife were to be thrust back from a Ere.
mont Barbecue to give place to negroes, he
was no longer Fremont man; and imme.
diately stamped the Fremont badge under
his feet and declared his intention to vote for
Buchanan. We are informed that four or
five others did likewise. 1t is said that not
less than twenty negroes ate at the first
table"
THE WAY TIE Sourn SUPPORTS THE
Souru.-1he Mobile Tribune of September
2Slh has the following very sensible article,
the truth of which the Southern wholesale
merchants have full reason to know from ex-
perience
So bent has the South been in making its
purchases in the Northern cities, that actual
iy goods manufactured in Richmond and Pc.
tersburg have been sent on to New York and
there sold to Southern merchants, who could
have got them at lower prices and saved
freight by purchasing here-but who refused
them in order to make all their purchases at
one place. We have been told here that
even the goods manufactured on the Alabama
River, at Prattsvile, Alabama, have to be
first sent to New York, before Mobile and
New Orleans merchants will purchase them.
In this case, the planter, of course, who con.
sumes the article, pays an additional price
for the freight to New York, then profit to
the New York agent, then the freight back,
