But far more amusing and infinitely more alb
surd is it to see Democrats in the North aiding
professedly sristocratic party. which, in the
words of the Muscogee (Als.) Herald, asks of
society in the North, "What is it but a con
glomeration of greasy mechanics, filthy opera
tves, small listed farmers, aud moon struck theo-
rists2" and adds to this the following sketch,
which, be it borne in mind, is leveIled. without
distinction, at both Buchananites and their OPP
ponents:
All the Northern, and especially the New
England States, are devoid of society fitted for
well-bred gentlemen. The prevailing class one
meets with, is that of mechanics struggling TO
be genteel,' and small farmers, who do their
own drudgery, and yet who are hardly fit for
association with Southern gentleman's body
servant"
We commend the study of the Southern pa
pers to the poor Buchanan men of the North.
II the Southerners indulge in such remarks at
time like the present, when there is every
reason for them to conciliate their Democratic
Northern allies, what will they say or do when
they have conquered and gained the upper
hand?

WASHINGTON, D. c, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 9. 1856.

when she became the bride of Prince Leon, she
would insist upon every arrangement being
made with view to this early death, which
seemed to prey upon her mind forever. 1t was
not till the young couple had been married for
some time, that, by dint of maternal care and
solicitude, the confession was wrung from her
that she had sold herself to tie Evil One, and
that she would be claimed before she reached
the age of twenty-one! She confessed that her
despair had been 80 great at being exiled, that
she had addressed her vows to the powers of
darkness on the very Sunday morning when her
guardian had arrived, and the announcement of
his presence was evidently the token of the &C.
ceptance of that fearful VOW.
1t seems that, in spite of every care and coun-
sci, despite of the constant watching and wise
teaching of the Able Dupauloux, nothing could
turn aside this idee tire from the mind of Prin-
cess EleaEore; and although every extreme
OF dissipation and excitement was tried, TO di.
vert her thoughts, she gave way to settled mel
ancholy, and died just two days before the COM
pletion of her twenty year, suddenly, and

THE DECLARATION OF AMERICAN INDEPENp
ENCE REPUDIATED BY THE BUCCANEERS.

Since the Republican platform was laid at
Philadelphia, made up largely, as it is, from the
Declaration of Independence, the BUCCANEERS
have made dead set at that instrument, de-
termined, apparently, to have it erased from
the hearts, if not from the history, of the Amer.
lean people.

allies in Maine the other day, spoke of the Dec
laration of Independence as string of glitter.

has said, the selEeyident truths in the Decla-
ration were nothing but selfecideat les" and
now we find John c. Breckenridge, the candi-
date of the BUCCANEERS for Vice President, ex-
pressing himself with equal or even greater
freedom in regard to its dangerous heresies
At speech delivered in Butler county, Ohio, a
week or two since, he thus repudiated the pio-
rious truths of the Declaration of Independence
to sustain which the Republicans of 1875
pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their
sacred honor:

DIsAFFECTION IN THE SOUTH.

The attentive reader Of Southern newspapers
finds not unfrequent illusions in them to a class
of population not only not interested in Slave.
ry, but hostile to it, and therefore to be pro.
scribed. Take the following as an Illustration.
We quote from the Southerner (printed at
Rome, Georgia. of September llth 1t is urg-
ing forward the work of sending emigrants to
Kansas, to take care of the interests of Slave
ry, but it advises great caution:
Though we urge upon Georgions the neces.
sity for prompt, prudent, and energetic action,
1t IS not our policy to advocate or encourage
| indiscriminate emigration to that Territory.
by course of this nature, we would probably
contribute strength to the enemy's forces.
There are no doubt some in Georgia who feel
very little interest IN the institution of Slavery
indeed, there are such as would turn the sword
upon the South, IN au hour of conflict for her
peculiar rights. Such men as these had better
be kept in our midst, where the apprehension
OF superior strength WI hold their Anti Slave
ry sentiments in strict subsection. The pres
ent struggle in Kansas is founded upon Just
principle, and none but those whose sentiments
are known, and whose feelings are in accord
ance with our own interests, should be aided
III emigrating thither.
The dangers that now exist, and the strife
| which Is now raging, are only premontory of
greater evils and a more general struggle for
the franchises which we hold dearer than life.
Ii, then, when the great day comes our ranks
are filled with those who are careless to the
destiny of the South, we will be defeated and
dishonored. Triumph is the motto of every
friend to the South, and if it is to be won, these
are the men who must lead and be led"
Let us keep at home those white people who
imagine slave labor presses hard upon them /;
we have the strength, aud can take care that
they do no mischief; but Kansas must be col
onized by the sons or supporters of our slave
holding Oligarchy. This is the meaning of the
extract, rendered into plain English.

ENGLISH CoPYRIGHTs ON AMERICAN Books
We learn from one of the firm of Sampson Low,
Son, Co., London, now on visit to the Uni

settled. The English house publish Mrs. Stowe 8

Unjust
A writer in the Portage Senfind, over the sig
nature Of V, in an article entitled An Act OF
God, takes occasion to utter some very mean
ISLANDERS upon the officers and company of the
c. 4 N. Rail Road.
According to his statement, a COW was killed
in Aurora by a locomotive on this road, which
the company do not feel inclined to pay for, I'M
I'll they are satisfied the loss was caused by the
csraessness of their employees. The writer then
charges the company with failing to fulfill its
contracts, 90. This is sheer nonsense. The Dr.
rectors of the company are too well known in
this community, to need any refutation of such
a charge. They stand in the very front rank of
business men. and their ability to stand up to
every contract, to the letter, their integrity, and
honesty are undoubted.
We NOV nothing of the legal rights in this
COW case; but this is certain; that the land on
which the track is laid, always excepting public
highways, belongs to the company, and they
have a perfect right to run their trains over it
1t is not a public road, but belongs to the COM
pany by right of gift, or purchase, for their own
particular use and benefit, just as the land pur-
chased by a private individual belongs to him
for his own use. If citizens along the line of
the road choose to let their cattle run upon the
land of the company, it seems to Us that they
must do It at their own risk.
