MORNING, JULY 22, 1856.

As to the character of the leading gentle men who are termed border rutiians, 1t would be idle for me :o attempt a defence. They need none, at the hands of any man. But a sense of the personal kindness 1 received amongst them, is with me as ineffaceabe as life itself. have never found amongst men more elevated sentiments of duty and patriotism, or a finer display of the generous virtues.
 Some of the abolitlonistS in the territory have perpetrated the most cruel and shocking mur- ders, to be found any where recorded. Sum- may acts of retaliation n some instances have followed, but the wonder is that they have been so far restrained. Nothing pleased me more than a company of about one hundred young South Carolnians whom l saw at At chison in Kansas, and who are of the first re- spectabllity and attainments. There were also as l was subsequently, informed few from Georgia and perhaps from Tennessee amongst them. They have gone with the intention of making 1t their home, and the readiness and alacriy with which they turned their hands to everything necessary to be done, gives glori- ous assurance to the future fortunes of Kansas It was q thought often to myself) such energy and such requirements, such combination of mental and physical endowments that mark ed the early settlers on the Atlantic coast of the United States, and who gradually shaped and moulded this glorious government from all the lights and models of antiquity 1 did not see them, but was informed by those who had been with them, that such was the character of the force to great extent brought to Kansas by Col. Buford from Alabama

lf federalism was too odious for the American people to resume, how much worse must be obsolete English torysn.9 If federalism was too anti-democratic in endeavoring to circumscribe the popular power to the extent only of denv- Ing persons of foreign birth for few years, the equal right with natives to voice in con- trohng the policy of the government, how Fagf@tty ant-democratic must that measure be, whose object is to circumscribe the popular power by destroying the equal rights in the go- vernment of thelr country of large class of native citizens Yet federali sm and that ob- solcte English toryism-like two Baals which the prophets had destroyed, are again set up in the nation, to whom the people are commanded to pay their worship.
 What spectacle have we before us. In the crats who few years since, professed to be 80 h077!fed at the sight of so much federalism, antl-democracy and black cock ckadeism, which ther Keen visions detected in the measures of the whg party, now openly and zealously ad- vocating doctrlnes--not commercial policy, imbued perhaps with something of the spirit of anti-democracy--bu as the auintessence of federalism and anti-democratic principles. We have it from high Know Nothing acknowledg- ment that the federalism of John Adams and Know Nottingham is of the same piece of cloth, and we all know it by the family likeness. And 1t would be an insult to any honest intel ligcnt man to attempt to explain to him that the antCatholc part of Know Nottingham was anti-democratic, as it would be to use ar sumentt to convince him ofany other se!f-evtden7 fact.

Irish and the Germans that have got foot hold on our soil? There already has bsen, and I doubt not will be, at the next August and No- vember elections many evil consequences. I have no hesitation in saying that at these cleo tons their will be blood shed and lives taken. Mark the end of it.
 l have heretofore heard of a number of so- cletIeS joined in the United States and never before heard Of one e'Iuallng the Know Mo- thlng society. l will ouly allude to the socie- ties of the Free Masons and Odd Fellows These two, It appears, are formed for no evil design whatever. They are harmless and peaceabe citizens. believe their main object is sympathy and charity for the poor and needy.
 About 20 years ago there was complaint made in the New York papers about so many for eigners landing in that city. Then the two Arkansas papers, one for the Sever party the other for the Crttenden party, hailed them with joy and said come to ArkansaS-here are plenty of room and plenty Of land for you alive will receive you with open arms. In those days the whgs were in the dark and did not see or consider the politics of the foreigners until it got too late Now their eyes are opened.
 am informed that since the new platform has been made by the Know Nothing party, the new members have no secrets to keep and Aio oath eo PciiOIul III tue name or UOu, W nat Is their object in view? While the old mem- bers are bound under a solemn oath. the new members are let free of all obligations and to perform as they choose, in and out the council chamber. l know of only one relief that can be applied. That is for all the Presidents of the Know Nothing lodges to fee the Catholic Bishops to appeal to their Savior to erase their oaths so that the old and new members shall be on an equal footing Did you never read of the influence that these Bishops have over all other Protestants and all other clergymen.- They say they can cause the deep stain of sin to be wiped out. Many time for several years 1 have watched the angry clouds, by day and by night with wshful eye, when my grow ing crop has been exposed under the rays of the burning and parching sun, for six or eight weeks, at one given time, to my sorrow and grief, the clouds generally went around or va nlshed away, when at the same time my neigh bors had good and refreshing showers. 1 said to myself, wonder if my neighbors have held secret meetings to devise ways and .means to raise funds to fee a Bishop to commune with the Redeemer of the Universe to send them rain whenever they needed it.
 This communication is more insulting than 1 would wish it to have been to you and your party, but, however, how could make it other wise? 1 sincerely regret it, as I am personally friendly with several of that party. 1 wish it to be understood that am working against no man. Very respectfully your ob't serv't

But, in our opinion, it matters very little whether thew men" or old men' appear in opposition to Mr. Buchanan at the coming cleo tion. That gentleman will as assuredly be elected President of the United States as that the Republic survives the day of the election. A wise statesman, conservative man, true friend of the Union, he will unite the votes of all those who love the Union, no matter what efforts may be made to combine parties against him. The democratic party never before did so wise thing as it now has done, in the nomina
 ton of the favorite son of Pennsylvania. His nomination and election-and the one will fol- low the other as certainly as that night follows the day-wll he hailed everywhere as the sig
 nal of deliverance from the agitating questions which have, for years, convulsed the Union His election will disperse the black republicans in every direction; it will give repose to the country; it will blast for ever the political aspi- rations of those who have wickedly and de- snsdy the unep of of 9ssmt ansj and office.

MEssRs. JOHNSON & YERKEs-I cannot forego the pleasure of giving vent, through the CO., umns of your valuable paper to my feelings ill regard to the nominations of our democratic national and state conventions-James Bucha- nan and John c. Breckenridge are known to be men of unequaled ability, and advocating as they do the great principles avowed in the platform of the Cincinnati convention, it is no use Cfta}Flng, they will be elected by larger majo- rlty than that received by any candidates of any party since our government established. As to the election of Governor, at the approach ing election, feel it in every breeze from the north, the south, the west and the east, that Elias \. Conway will be triumphantly elected over all opposition. He deserves it for his un- ceasing efforts to benefit the State and people his uutiying industry in the discharge of his public duties, his republican simplicity of manners, and his successful effort in breaking up the swndl.ng portion of the banks and the successful winding up of those institutions. I have beautiful flag of my country, that was once thrown to the breeze in the acquisition of California. l shall in a few days, with the assistance of few true democrats plant a liberty pole upon my own terra frma," from which shall float the stars and stripes in honor of Buchanan, Brcckinridgc, Conway and the great principles of the national democracy.
 Yours very truly,

right of judgment in all matters connected with
 public affairs, we cannot forego the opportunity, at this early stage of the canvass of urging upon our readers, and all those who may have
 placed confidence in us in days past, the pro- priety of espousng the cause of MT. Buchanan, and of contributing to his election by all hono- rable means. As we live, we believe that noth- ing short of success in prostrating the black re- publican party in this contest will save the Re- public. There will be, so far as practical re- suits are concerned, no other parties in the field. The choice is between black republicanism, with all it's hatred of the slave States and of our in stitutions, and all its disregard of laws enacted in obedience to the commands of the Constitu- tlon, on the one hand, and the election of the nominee of the democratic party-a man of ma ture years, of decided ability, of pure morality, Of tried statesmanship, of tue patriotism, and pledged to a strict observance of the demands of the constitution Kill off black republican, ism now, and it will never again have power to disturb the tranquility of the country Put it to death now, and no band of pestiferous poli- tlclans will ever again arise, to array one sec ton of the Union against the other-the North against the South, the East against the West; making procamations all over the country that they care not how soon ''the Union may slide"

 Mir. ED1roR-Eghty years ago the old bell in Independence Hall, as the inscription upon it reads, proclaimed Freedom to world and our fathers who had but short time before re- sisted the infamous Stamp Act" and indig- nantly exlcamed in the ears of the British Ministry, that they would have "no stamps but the feet of freemen for the necks of Kings" did on this ever memoral day ratify their de- termination by pledging their all in support of that immortal instrument Ernulating the ex- ample of our patriotic fathers, the democracy Of Franklin county, gathered together this day In numbers respectable and enthusiastic, to re-kindle anew the fires of patriotism on the altar of liberty, and to listen to the eloquent BuTow expound and vindcate the great prn- ciples of the democracy-and never were the people more thoroughly aroused in behalf of our principles. Spell bound, enraptured and enchained they hung upon the magic words of this matchless orator. aud though the speaker was feeble from sickness, the natal birth day of his country's freedom inspired him with new life and energy and enabled him to pour forth that ceaseless and resistless torrent of argument and eloquence, which seemed clothed "in thoughts that breathed, and words that burned" Upon the very altar of the heart, for two hours did our gallant standard bearer for the demo- cratic nominees, delight his audience, now at lacking the understanding, in turn welding the conclusive syllogism, till at length the attention ,b ol I aroused the feelings and triumphantly stormed the passions-while ever and anon brilliant corruscations of genius flashed from every thought, and appeared to be almost the work of inspiration.
 Col. Burow made an impression here which will tell powerfully for our cause. His suavity of manner and dignity of person, won him many friends. Let such men as him canvass our State and Know Nottingham will find no retreat save in the dark caverns of the earth, and dis honored and diSgraced will not dare to lift it's head in the light of day. The occasion which has just passed, will long be remembered here, and while the father nstills into the minds of hls children the first great principles of true democracy, at the same time he will tell them of the name and fame of Col.
