Mutterings from the South.

We copy the following from the Charleston
Mercury; which, in connection with some of Mr..
Brooks's recent speeches, since his return homo,
may serve to show how the current is setting once
more, in South Carolina:
Will any man stand up and say, in honesty,
that at the present time, there exists a single
party in this broad Union, whose triumph should
be the first wish of Southern menp Any party so
true in its principle, firm in its policy that we
should deem unity among ourselves as inferior to
its success? Even that party, most acceptable to
the South, and for whose nominee this State will
vote, has, in the last few weeks, given way, point
after point. On Internal Improvements it has
rivalled, and even surpassed the widest dream Of
extravaganza. On the Tariff, the Democratic par
ty, though stepped in pledges 10 free-trade, and
though the Government labors beneath the bur-
dens and corruptions of a surplus revenue, wrung
from the industry of the South, is as unsound as
Northern manufacturers and Northwestern spoils-
men could wish it. The Southern man, who looks
for low tariff from the Democratic party, Is a
miracle of delusion.
And when we consider the last and greatest
question, where is the Democratic psrtyp Six
years ago the South was elected from California by
the triumph Of "squatter sovereignty" Two years
ago that same doctrine, coupled with the repeal Of
the Missouri Compromise line, was ingrafted upon
the Kansas BILL IL was the deliberate, browning
act of the Democratic party and the South assent
ed to It though already victimized by IL, in the
hope that it's principles, IL faithfully maintained,
would secure Kansas to slave labor. But what

on the part of its leaders, In the face of the Nebras

Territorial governments, and removed them be-
yond Congressional interference in the face Of all
this, Mr.. Douglas, and others high in Democratic
influence, have actually proposed 10 repeal the
Territorial laws Of Kansas, and thus trample down
its admitted sovereignty beneath Congressional in
PREVENTION. They have written, with their own
hands, condemnation upon their own act; they
have repudiated the most Wanted doctrine of the
Democratic party-"popular sovereignty" The
principle of the Nebraska act, upon which the
Democratic party laid its claim to Southern sup
port is no longer popular sovereignty" but any
thing which Abolition, in its widness, would make

its Northern supporters are willing TO swallow all
their pledges, and install again the dethroned idol
of Congressional legislation. And Representa-
tive from South Carolina, loud advocate of the
same measure is found still lower in the downward
path calling upon the President to strangle the Ju

These are indications startling indications,
which no true Southern man can disregard

that not only upon internal improvements and

now to sacrifice the South. Who we ask, can
blind himself to such indications?
And if these things be true, will the people of
this district consent at this time to have foisted
upon them all the threadbare fummery about
Democratic faith, ringing discord in our midst,
and distractiDg our people from the real dangers
which surround them Will they not look through

Mr.. Buchanan's Relations with Slavery

uTs DuCndudn,S kAelhtlOnS Win SlhVeIys
There needed no ghost to tell US that every ef
fort would be made in certain of the free States to
prove Mr. Buchanan enough of Free soiler to be
opposed to the Southern usurpation in Kansas.
Documents to show his hostility to slavery Free
.ly circulated in the New England States and the
States of the Northwest; and it is because of his
imaginary impartialty between Northern and South
ern sentiment, that pseudo conservatives, like
Messrs. Choate, Reverdy johnson, Pearae and
Pratt prefer to support him rather than the other
candidates. Of course, such support is given upon
the assumption that, in spite of his adhesion to the
Cincinnati platform, Mr.. Buchanan is not the man
to lend his influence to further extravagant plans
of the ultra slave .propagandsts of the North.-N.
Y Times.
The Nashville Gazette, remarks:
Just as we thought-the grand rascals at Wash
ington prepared lying documents for the South and
lying documents for the North-the former to
show that he is the greatest advocate of slavery in
the North, and the latter to show that he is in ia
vor of the Free-soil sentiment. What deep corrup-
ton If the Times viii send to Washington for a
document, the title page Of which runs: "Who
commenced, and who can end it; Buchanan and
Fillmore compared from the record" it win see a
villainous production prepared for the South.
To the above we can add our own testimony
We have a copy of the document in question. In
the South, Buchanan is represented as pro-savery,
and in the North as an anti-slavery man.

The Baltimore Convention.


The following communication was sent to the
Office of the hateligeneer yesterday, but wassnot
published:
:" In your paper of this morning, find notice
signed "A Wing first and last" calling the atten-
ton of the Wings of this District to the Conven-
ton, which is called at Baltimore the 18th. As
a Clay Wing will second call for meeting to
be held at Temperance Hail. or any other conve
nient place for the purpose of choosing delegates
to said Convention"
This communication the Iatellgencer refused to
insert, while it gave place to the following on the
same subject H
An " Old Wing" of sixty years standing, (who
can see no necessity for the new-fangled term old
line ~" would respectfully ask his brethren of the
same faith within the District of Columbia, what
business they can possibly have at the great gath
ering in Baltimore on the 18th? Is it not well
known that the great gathering at Baltimore is to
be composed chiefly of Know Nothngs" who de-
nounced and abandoned the Wing party? 1t is to
be hoped that IA Wing first and last" viii be con-
vinced on more mature reflection that the Wings
of the District can have nothing to do with the
Baltimore Convention. If not, however, let his
suggestion be carried ort, and he win soon be con-
vinced that the Wings Of Washington have some
selfrespect left and that his proposition will meet
with no favor at their hands. A WING.
This procedure on the part of the Intelligeneer
is significant, especially when the utter mendacity
of the communication signed "A Wing" is noted.
So far from the Baltimore Convention being com
posed Of "Know Nothings, it is well known that
no delegates have been or will be elected to that
body who are members of the American party.
