Our mlghtiest error, Judging from the to-
nor of our eotemporary's article, was the fac
of our having copied The objectionable article
from the Bee. We acknowledge the corn
it was a great mistake, and if We are let of
this time we won't do so any more. 1t is no
telling what a change for the better might take
place in our editorial remarks and clippings,
were we to gat a good mouthfulI Of the PAP
occasionally. We are told it has a wonderful
effect in Frightening a mans understanding
and convieing him Of his errors. We are open
to conviction.
To show our readers that the sentiments
which our cptemporary disapproves Of, are
True Democratic Sentimcnts--certaiulv they are
true Southern sentiment~-~we beg them to
peruse the following which appeared in tbe
New Orleans Courier of last Wednesday
Mr.. Buchanan's language about fIibus-
ters, and especially about the late expe>
dltion Of President VIM. Walker to
Nicaragua, is calculated rather to pain
than to crafty the most ardent supporters
of his administration in the South. 1t
can never be questioned by us, long sup
porters of law aud the observance of law,
that every law on our statute book ought
to be fairly enforced. But The great ma.
JorlIy Of the people Of the South do not
think that General Walker has ever viola
ted the neutrality laws, and are not in
favor of any rabid or ~fanaticaI proceed.
Ings about if he has. The spirit which
talks 80 much about fIibustering is the
which reaches its elimination
among the pewter-dolIar sneaks of New
England aud the Pharasaic thieves (as
Christ called the money c~hangers) Of Elk
eter Hall, and is totally unworthy Of an
American President. We are almost
confident that we have misread or misun-
some portion of this part of the
message. Mr.. Buchanan cannot mean
cavalierly to recant his whole past histo-
ry. 1t is to be hoped that the neutrality
will soon be repealed, and that in the
meantime they will only be enforced as
other laws are-nnder our own inspec>
ton, not under that of England and
France.

This is Christmas time, abont which the ed.

in his last number, and we don't know what
better IRE can do to enable our readers to fully
enjoy these holyday hours, than to furnish them
lin addition to the interesting story commence
ed on the first page the very best yarn that
ever came from "Sut Lovengood, of Tennes>

have a tendency to the blues at a time like the
present when all are expected to be in a good
humor, We advise them TO read SAT Loven-
goods Lia2ards, which we publish to-day to
the exclusion of much other matter of current
news--advising those, however, who follow
our advice and who should happen to have an
active Imagination, 10 intuition their vests and
loosen the strings of their drawets before they
commend reading, for if they don't they will
be in a bad plight by the time Parson BuIlin
gets rid Of the "beIl sarpinfs."

And lastly, the Doctor informed us that ha-
wing been chise!ed into seeking for a high POI
Iitical office two or three years ago, he was not

chise4a out Of the amount of the profits of a
fine crop-and what we were shown was the
consequence of his abjuring politics.
We congratulated the Doctor upon the true
philosophic manner in which he viewed the

thanked him for his courtesy, jerked hold Of

The Kansas Embroruo,

When we fully understand the points in this
never-ending subject which is now and again
a]gitatjng Congress, we will endeavor to en-.
tighten our readers. 1t is reported thai DouG,
Lass does not agree with toe President. The
latter, in his Message, recommends that lust
so much of the Constitu ion lately adopted at
L%ecnmpton as ~"relates to domestic @institn-
%tions," (and there is nothing but The slavery
clause,) should be submitted back to the peo-
pie to be voted upon. The former. we under
stand, contends that the whole Constitution
should go back TO the people for their appro-
val or none, and be has ere this made a great
speech on the subject. We are sorry to zee
Mt this %jnncture a difference Of opinion upon
a question Of such great national Importance
between these two eminent statesmen--one
standing upon the topmost round Of the ladder
of Democracy, the other bat a round lower
down. We know not that we will be able to
say which is right, hui we shall not hesitate
to express an opinion when we conceive thai
we fully understand the subject.

9Our contemporary of the Gazette. in bis
issue Of last Saturday, is much surprised. in
view of The fact that we have long since giver
in our adhesion to the Democratic party
that we should have published the article that
appeared in last weeks issue, taken from the
Bee, rejecting upon Mr. B~UoHANAN's course
with reference to the flibusters. If we have
given in our adhesion to the Democracy, it il
not to that extent as to prevent US from seeing
the errors and inconsistencies Of the Execu-
tive, and the evident disposition which he ma
ssts to secure Northern appreciation if he
rdize Southern interests; al least (and
Q not Say this to cast any reflection upon
nelghbo) we have not yet, in consequence
that adhesion received enough Of the pap
blind us to the errors and vices of party,
ID therefore it ID not TO be wondered at that
Rr eyes are open, and having no particular
eason to do otherwise, we chose to 'speak the
ruth add shame the devil"
Does cur neighbor pretend to say That Mr..
Mr. Buchanan has not changed his views ma
terially upon fubusteringi He is not only
changed upon that subject, but he is now pro-
scouting with severity, and beyond what is
demanded Of him by his oath Of office, any
thing and everything that aavors Of flibuster-
ne.
Il y although By men Of the highest %intelli-
gence that WALLER is the bona tide President
Of Nicaragua, and as such had a perfect right
tO return there. He Is rs much go as any one,
that Is certain. And it seems to us that the
President had done all that was required of
him when be caused proclamalions to be iss
sued 20 prevent armed forces from leaving our
shores TO war against neighboring republics
Bat Northern feeling required something more
than this; and the next thing that he does, is
the dismissal from Office of U. S. District AT,
torney CRACK in consequence as stated of the
"inefieiency' of Gen. WALxER's bail, when 10
fact he had nothing TO do with fixing his bail.
We are not the advocate of aorganizing

1t is truly with the deepest sorrow that we
perceive a notice Of this gentleman's death
which occurred about 10 o'clock on last Friday
m~orning--eaused by a blow on the head by an
iron hook at the end of a rope, which rope got
entangled in some way 10 the fy>wheel of the
engine at the sugar house, where he happened
to be engaged ut the time, and unfortunately
in the line of the fatal missile as it was whirled
round with tremendous force by The wheel
He fingered for several days, undoubtedly in
great agony.
The death Of Mr.. SLACK demands something
more than IN ordinary notice. and we are sora
ry that We cannot command The pen Of some
one better acquainted with his past history
than that acquaintance derived from runor.-
From what we have Incidentally learnt res
pecting his early career, and what we person
ally know Of the last ten years of his energetic
end industrious life, we feel assured that a b.
ography of this lamented gentleman would
prove q useful and instructive lesson, particu.
larIy to the youth of this bis native parish.
If our information, or report, be correct, at
the death Of his father Mr.. SLACK, then under
his majority and two younger brothers to take
care Of, found the estate they inherited embar-
raised TO the amount Of some eight. thousand
dollars. Young SLACK, the deceased, immedi1
ately left school at the North where he was
finishing bis education, on receipt of the mourn-
intelligence, and hurried home. He at once
work, and by u~nexampled energy
and industry, linked with economy, be sue
