Meeting at Carthage.

We are rejoiced to hear glowing accounts
from the American rally at Carthage on
the Sth.
1t was the largest political gathering
that has been there for years the town
was crowded and the enthusiasm greater
than ever known before, at so early stage
Of the canvass. The speaking continued
with intermission only for supper till a
very late hour at night. The meeting was
addressed by Gen. Barrow, in his ablest
and happiest style, followed by Ex-Gov.
Campbell, Jordan Stokes, NJ NJ. Brien,
WIN. b. Stokes, aud VIII. G. Brien, in ex-
cellent and effective speeches.

OHhD' n W INOIVNI
Chairman of the State Central Committee.

1.-THE day for COMPROMISES has
ended !" declared that arch enemy of the
South, Mr. Seward, on the I'd of July in
the Senate of the United States.
To me hepath is plain. Today IdisO,on
the american flag as the symbol of unequalIedhy'
POcvisy and tramscendant oppression, and cast
ing Il into the broad atlantic defy all the aOa-
tiers thereof to a0ah ont It's bloody stains
To-day renew my accusation against the
American constitution, that 1t IS "a cOrerant
aoith death and an agreement tOithheH," achich
ought to be annuLled nOaO and forerer. To
day | pronounce the American Uuion
league Of despotism, to PerPetuate which
is crime against our common humanity
and sin against God To-day affirm
the "higher law" to be the rightful and pa
ramount law of the land, to the SubverSion
Of every statute, agreement and COM
PROMISE inimical to human freedom"
declared VIM. Lloyd Garrison on the 4th
of July in Boston. Continuing he said
LET US not be drawn off by any side
issue in regard to Kansas, nor be deluded
by the cry of Liberty national, slavery
sectionap-Seeing it is the existence of sla-
very in the South which is the root of all
our troubles, the cause of all our dangers,
the source Of all our perils. Away, then,
with all nostrums, CONCESSIONS, COMPRO-
Misses, expedients, traces, and the like.
But one course is to be purSued-one OBJ
ject aimed at, one blow struck The
North must separate fromthe South, and
organize her own institu tons on a sure
basis"
81 am no COMPROMISES !" declared
Andrew johnson on the 18th of July, fol-
lowing the example of the fanatical disun-
ionists, Seward and Garrison.
The tendency of these sentiments is to
disunion aud nothing else. Without CON-
promise this union could never have been
made; without compromise is doomed to
destruction.

of Love, viii never have an opportunity of enjoy
ing the 'reveries of bachelor" within the walls of
the White House.
Addressing himself to those democrats who deny
FHmore's chances OF success, and upon that ground
are counting old line wings and pretending to es.
TEEN them the salt OF the earth that has never
lost its savor be asks them the pointed questions
Why vote for Mr.. Buchanan? Is il because be de-
clsred in his speech at Lancaster, IN 1875 that the
founders OF the democratic party were faction of
demagogues? Is it because be denounced the adj
ministration Of Mr.. Madison and opposed the war
of 1912? Is il because be was four times elected
to Congress as federalist and chung to the for.
tunes of that party until it become extinct? Is it
because he has always been in favor Of the protec-
tive system and voted for the tariffs of 1924, 1898
and 1912? Is it because while In Congress he turn
ed deaf ear to the poor widows OF revolutionary
soldiers and the fallen heroes of the war of 1912!
Is it because he declared in his place. when be vot
ed for the Texas Annexation Resolutions, that the
reason he did SO, because the effect of anneJa-
ton would be to contract and not enlarge the
limits Of slavery, by making free States of Mary
land Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee and Missouri
aud driving that institution out of the Union into
the wilds Of Mexico? Is it because, in his letter Of
acceptance, he unequivocaly avows the principle
of Squatter Sovereignty These questions led the
speaker into examination of Mr. Buchsnau's
support of every consistent democrat, and, indeed,
OF every sincere patriot, whose mind is unbiased
by party interests and predictions. Such hid
eous picture of political deformty daguerreotyped
from the record ITSELF have never before contem-
plated. happened to be sitting near two promi>
nent and int elligent democrats of this county, and
as the curtain was gradually raised, they seemed
actually to shudder at the sight and stood aghsst,
though about to excaim with Macbeth when he
saw the ghost of murdered Banquo seat itself at
bis board
Stake any other shape but that, and my Arm
Shall never trenble."
Mr.. McEwen spoke about three hours, during
which time be had the close and undivided atten-
ton Of his audience He devoted the concluding
part Of his speech to the "bargain, intrigue and
corruption" affair; and proving from the testimony
of Gen. Jackson himself, that James Buchanan is
base calumniator, and guilty of the very charge
he sought to fix upon Henry Clay. He called upon
all old line wings and all honest and true hearted
patriots to rise in their might and place the seal of
their condemnation upon the vile sanderer, who
pursued his noble victim even TO the grave, thus
beclOudng the lustre Of the brightest lumnary that
ever emblazoned the political heavens. We hope
Mr.. McEwen will address US again at some con-
venient opportunity. He is destined to accomplish
wonders for the noble cause in which he has en-
barked. AN OBSERVER.
