position papers delight to call the "Deita, on tue
l4th instant. We shall exhibit few Of the frsg.
men.s for the benefit Of Virginia readers. From
these specimens our readers judge Of the charac'
ter of the rest After few such editorials there
will not be much life left in ths factionists. The
people of the South will fly from them as they would
from pestilence.
The leading organ Of the "new Southern party"
mildly expresses the opinion that james buchanan is
"a viper" and "cowardly leader:'
these journalists felt that Last November they
assisted in warming viper into lifs and that in
turn for their kindness they had received poisonous
sting. They felt that they had placed the orhamms
of Democracy in unfaithful hands. They hsd fol.
lowed the standard and the standard bearer ora1sy
through perilous fight, and It were serViie and
oowardy to stand by cowardly, aud treacherous
leader"
What does our neighbor of "The South" think Of
these mild e1pletves from the lips Of the oracle
which it was wont to quote, on the Kansas im
broglio!
The Delta" charges Gov. Walker with having
debaucbsd Virgin Kansas" at the ins.gation OF
that venerable pimp" Bucbanan:
"Ths development of the plan of the President to
bind Kansas hand and foot and deliver her over in
due season to the unholy embraces OF the Northern
Free. .soilera startled many of the strongest Demo
aratic Journalistic from their dream OF fancied secu
ri.y. Thes. were honest, patriotic men, VINO sup
ported Mr.. Buchanan because they regarded him ss
the friend of the South. But when the truth flashed
upon them-wheu they saw Gov Walker preparing
the fair young victim Tor tho sacrihce by all the arts
ths trckery aud the Establishments which he could
summon to his aid-when they saw that while ne d'd
all this as if fearful that the virgin Territory might
not be coa1ed into in6deity to the South hA dictated
terms to her in the name OF his master IN "afnmg
ton and boldly threatened her with punishment sne
dsobeyed-tbe true Southern heart cou'd shnu !"
no longer and the whole atf.ir was bitterly dsnoun
csd, regardless Of party fesy or The fasc'nations
Executive patronage"
We trust that the fears Of the "peta' are ground
less, but il Kansas kss been ruined we will remind
the Delta that President Pierce placed virgin Kansas
at the mercy Of those traitorous rascals Reeder and
Geary, and they were chased from Kansas tor taxing
improper liberties with that territorial virgin
Yet We suspect the lllad OF all the "Deltas
woes is that the Democracy nominated Mr.. buc'
hanan rather than the gentleman who placed Kansas,
Young aud innocent she then was, at the mercy o'
Reeder and Geary. Tue vrtuous indignation OF the
"Dslta" comes too late. Pierce not buchanan shou'u
have been the victim Of it's wrath. But we VIII NOT
belisve the slandsr which the Delta filings at Kan.
,as. We believe shs is still an "honest woman" and
will in the proper way, and in most appropriate and
lawful manner select husband this tall IN spite OF
aspersions on her fair fame by the chivalrous Dehs
Ill.
The Delta exhibits great fertility OF genius IN aou
sine Mr.. Buchanan and dubs him the "Free.Soii baa
of Wheatland" :"
nus vho now deserts the South in her hour Of need
be vho oIavshIy bows down to the Free-soil Baal o
Wheatlsnd and sanctions all OF his Kansas inquiries

the feet Of the people. Such man doeS n'' o''e

put under their feet" and whose hsgitious aud sedi
tious designs to punish as fsctonlsts, as the "De"a
will find to it's cost If the question OF who should
bs nut "under the feet of the people OF the South
the "Baal OF Wheaaud" or the dsunion consprators
who are sssailing him, ths latter would be trampleo
in the dust by the feet Of thousands OF conservative
men of the South with the greatest mmagnaole plea
sure.
In the espcisl case of the "Delta," humanity might
induce the South to substitute the shower bath and
straight Jacket for good disciplinary "tramPling'

The parties to the plot against the National De
nocracy have for months hesped the coarsest abuse
upon those Southern journals who have denounced
their conspiracy In their wholesale denunclshon
of the President, the Cabinet, the gram growing
States, the National Democracy, aud tue organs Of
ninety nine hundreds Of the people ofhe slave STATES
We have of course been most ferocously denounced
Baffsd conspirators, from the days OF CataIine 70
those of the Delta have been ferocous in their souse
of those who have detected and exposed their netarous
designs. The penalty Of exposing wicked plot is 'he

Arnold always abused Washington most tierceiy

Richmond, aud Nichoa. Biddle could never speak
mildly of jackson after the old hero e1fihguisneo
the bankrupt institution OF which he was fresioen'.
The late Jack Hays the great detective policeman OF
New York, was exceedingly unpopular with the
burglars Of that State and the Mayor, Of this city

criminals who msuifgs, their feelings in very dlher
ent ways when the judge, putting on his black cap
soemnly asks: whether they have any 'hing 10 say

all such occasions by profane swearing ana oy

The less Gallon. class usually exhibit contrition,
ask for mercy, and throw themselves upon the mercy
of the court The first class Of offenders are always
banged with as little delay as possible, whilst the lat
ter are frequently reprieved and occasionally par

own sake, now that s conspiracy is blown, to throw
itself upon The mercy of its outraged and indignant
brethren of the Southern press, and not to denouDce
iouruals 40 much more respectable and influential

call up no other associations when the Delta"
