free, in full contentment, happy in uni
.yersal concord of brotherhood and mutual
love; sPescep reigns supreme, immutable,
eternal; and Plenty shakes her bounteous
horn of asmiling land, flowing indeed with
milk and honey.
The High Priests Of Cincinnati dfFiciated
at the preparatory offeribg--the laws Of the
Twelve Tables have been issued-the po-
li,ical Magician Of Peace has appeared; he
has bid the troubled waters of the earth be
.siilled, and lol they are stiled; the lion. and
tho lamb are now to lie down together--our
swords are to be turned into plowshares,
sour stern slarums into merry meetings.
wars are 10 be remembered no more; and
the whole voice of the people is 10 rise up
in one mighty hosunnah to this glorious
Union.
There is something peculiarly sardonio in
these sentences. /, is the scott Of demon
disguised under a cloak Of praises, and
mingling and jansling discordantly with the
sincere rejoieings Of the hopeful shouters.
II is stream Of dark and bitter scep,icism
mixing with the leuping waters of glad Gre
dnlity. How cruel 10 speak in terms Of
such acrid irony, ofthe "High Priests of
Cincinnati" the Twelve Tables" and the
"Magician of Peace" What has "Old
Buck" done that he should be thus nick
named in derisionp Nothing; and we must
still hope for something good from him, in
spite Of the forebodings Of the South Caro-.
lima prophet; Here is another of the .Mer-
cury's mock hosannas, which sounds more
like yell from Pandemonium:- ".e
The Democratic party, overwhelmed in
every State North Of Mason and Dixon's
line, excepting three--half drowned, sink
ing, struggling in the boisterous, swelling
tide Of Abolitionism, clutching at and cling
ing to every passing piece of driftwood--
finds its head still, for a little while, above
water, by means of the staying power Of
the Southern Rights party, and shouts in
its delrious joy-eternal calm! E
The Supreme Court, repudiated in poll
tics by South Carolina in 1928, defied and
fcoiIed in law by the North in 1857, deliv-
ers its opinion upon matter about which
there never has been any doubt, except in
the minds of those very men who no,c laugh
it TO scorn, because they choose TO doubt,
and are hence still determined to doubt, and
forthwith the potent opinion is proclaimed,
like Perry Davis's Painkiller and Town
sends Sarsaparilla, a universal panacea for
all ills pertaining TO the body polite, past,
present, and to come.
Liberal Southern politicians, by their in
genious, if not altogether ingenious policy
and politics, are to creep, some into q cor
ner Of the Executive observation-disclosures
would like 10 60 abroad, with Uncle Sam to
pay expenses and give prestige TO their en-
ertainments-others felicitate themselves
in "a lively sense of favors TO come" in
Speak ships, Senatorial honors, &c.; while
the party tools, political hacks, and UNDER
lings, from Maine to Texas, gorge, and
snarl, and revel over the offals of govern
ment patronage that are thrown to them in
every nook and Granny Of the United States.
As logical sequence in the minds OF these
worthless, and matter of course, their reigns
over the whole land the very harmony Of
The spheres; new life has been instilled into
Southern institutions, and enlarged pros
poets opened before Decentralization itself
has received new impulse, refreshened
vigor by proxy and in their persons, and
man is about 10 consummate the end Of his
earthly destiny In absolute perfection, free
dom and happiness. In short, we repeat,
the millennium is full flush upon us, with
Federal gold in one hand TO drug our rea-
son into pleasing apathy Of all impending
evils, and Federal Office in the other to
drown all sense of shame.
The sources Of our information upon this
interesting subject, are most veritable and
respectable. The scattered remnant Of a
dismembered clique at the North, once call
ed the Democratic Party North, now beat
en- and crushed out in every State but three,
chants to its broken and disheartened adhe-
rents, desperately feeble song Of victory.
A faint cry comes to us, too, from the re-
nowned hog country of the Northwest
But it is from the South that there arises
the grand and full-voiced choir Of party
glori6caton. On every side we hear the
ceaseless chime of the great advent ''peace
and good will towards oil men," We are,
it would seem, the peculiarly favored recipi-
ents ofthis blessing. Happy, happy, thrice
happy people!
