Horn 10 Rule.

9F Born to Rule.
The Charleston Mercury, which is the leading
Buchanan paper at the South, in speaking of
two arguments used at the North against the
South, says:
One is, that the South is all powerful in this
Confederacy, and has ever been; that it has
used the Federal Government for its own pur
poses, at its own will. That it has absorbed
the honors and Offices of the Confederacy. That
it has supplied all the governing statesmen, and
has thus given all the political teachings; and
that, in addition to all this, it has cherished and
| maintained perpetual spirit of aggression and
ascendaEcy over the North.
In replying to this argument, the Mercury
unblushingly claims for the South superiority OF
intellect, and hence a right to govern the North.
Will the Northern Locotoco Doughfaces, who
are content to do the bidding of these Southern
nlgger.driver masters, read such avowas and
still consent to be political hewers Of wood and
drawers of water to these Southern men, who
claim that from their breeding they display the
noblest type ofn'aahood, and hence are the prop,
er masters over the imbecle citizens of the
Northern States.
The Mercury says: .I ...-..... a..s ~
The South has produced the governing minds
| of the Confederacy from its commencement
| The South has exercised the ascendancy which
| irresistibly belongs to those who have the high
est tone of character, and instinctively, from
their breeding, display the nobest type O.
manhood. The North has, from the 6rst cher
lshed and established standard If personal
social, and political morals, utterly unfavorablt
to the production of statesmen. The whole
course OF political education at the Nors b tends
only to produce politicians, pettifoggers-no
Statesmen. With young men politics becomes
in the outset, not profession, full Of high aim
and noble ambition to serve the country, bu
an art, the very soul ofwhich is guile and in
sincerity, and the first and last object of whicl
is personal gain. And the people recogniz
this as the true character of the pursuit of pol
itics among them. It's rare that they will re
elect man to seat in the Senate or House Q
Representatives, and the almost universal rea
son given is, that he has had his opportunity
!. let him give way to another. ea era

have been with them until lately. have got
my eyes open. The leading organs of the Bucha-
niers say they are in favor of the extension of
Slavery. The little papers, such as the Gazette
of Burlington, cry they are not in favor OF such
q principle, but still they all vote for the same
man. The New York Day Book says, 1--WE do
not know OF care for illegal voting as it is call
ed, in Kansas. Legality is right and proper,
and desirable generally, but there may be cases,
and this was one. where legality SINKS into utter
nothiagaess." The Democratic organs say that
the Mssourians were right in going over into
Kansas and voting. The Day Book utterly re-
pudiates the Nebraska Bill, not merely it says,
"because we hold that Congress can give no
power to vote in or vote out Slavery, out be-
cause the doctrine is absurd, soiicism, indeed,

II In 1870, Gen. Harrison received electo-
raj votes enough in the free states to elect him
President, even though he had lost every vote
from the slave states. The same will be true Of
Fremont. Buchanan, to be elected, has 60, to
carry not only all the slave states, but Pennsyl
vania and one other free state He cannot car
ry Pennsylvania by any possibility. Ee there

Il MORE TEsr1xoNr.-We call immediate notice
Of the Ellmorites to the following extract from
sFremont's narrative Of exploration to the Rocky
Mountains The occurrence referred to happen.
ed on the l1th of October, 1912:
'We met here two poor emigrants, Grishmen)
who had lost their horses two days since-prob-
ably stolen by the Indians-and were returning
to the fort in hopes to hear something of them.
They had recently had nothing to eat; Ihatted
to unpack an animal, aad gave them meat for
their dinner.n
This, the Albany Kn,ckerbocker thinks is con-
elusive testimony that Fremont is Catholic,
and commends it to the KHow Nothing party as
"more testimony"
eY The short comings of our Post Masters
are exceedingly annoying. There is eth Ter Grim
inal and scandalous negligence, or something
worse. We do not know where it is, but be-
ieve it is in the Burlington Post Office. We
are informed by Mr.. Elliott, of the Mt Pleasant
Home Journal, that our Daily arrives in that
place by two's and three's and even four's y
This is worse Than it was by stage.
Ofcourse the mail matter for Mt. Pleasant does
not 60 into any Office on the way. There are
two mail trains day, and yet our paper is de-
layed sometimes four days, when it should get
there before ten o'clock on the morninp of its
publication. Cannot our Post Master find time
to look into this matter, or is this annoyance a
part of the system of Border Ruffianism adop-
ted by the expiring administration =?

Bolts arrested for his freedom Of speech. His
declaration to stand by the Union in any event.

is elected, troubles the Governor and his party,

The MARsELLAIsE.-''It was" said Lamartine
'sthe fre-water Of the Revolution which instilled
into the senses and the soul of the people the
intoxication of battle. The Marsellaise Hymn
is the French Revolution set to music, and altho'
there may be some sacrifice of sense to sound
in the sentence, it is in the main true. In a
quiet, peaceful epoch, such lyric could nerer
have been composed; but amid the blaze of
torches, and ruined palaces and prisons, it sounds
like the oracle Of divinity, frantic with passionate
love for our race"
Its composer was hunted from house to house,
and only eluded the grasp Of his pursuers, the
minions Of Tyranny and oppression, by seeking
the protection of some female friends, when
his life was preserved by long concealment.
Wherever the sounds Of the "Marsellaise'
we're heard, there was the spirit of liberty, and
there rally of freemen that caused tyrants te
| tremhle.
| Here, in this our Republic, in this sol disan
land Of liberty. are its notes again heard ever
| in the streets of our own city, has the sound o
that same freedom inspiring Lyric, sent thrill
Of delight to our bosoms. Here, there is nj
tyrant foe /; NO despot but freedom is in danger

marshslling for victory. -.

A border rufian county convention was held
in this place to day. What the result is / don't
know or care, Tor no free state man will go to
the polls on that day, the 9th of Oct. Our boys
call Lecompton He'll, and if ever place on
earth could properly claim the name this town
can, for to-day have seen three bowie knives
drawn and two revolvers cooked by drunken
rowdies in the streets, and all that prevented
the shedding of blood was the timely interfer-
ence of their friends. Of
l do wish that every Buchanan man in the
north would come here, to this town and see
those, whose cause they are advocating. They
would hang their heads il shame, they would
consider themselves disgraced by the alliance,
and certainly believe old Buck had not much to
be proud of, when referring to his Kansas
