Our friend Gregg Of the New Albany
Tribune. while protesting to desire the re-
striction Of slavery, is very bitter agains,
the Republican party, charging it with de-
signs upon the institutions Of the South
in the States, and he proves il, like Mr..
Beach, the old line candidate for Clerk OF
the Supreme Court did last summer, by
quoting from such men as Wendell Phil
lips, Theodore Parker and. Fred Douglass,
and by torturing the language Of Greeley,
Beecher and others. Now this may be
the best way to promote the restriction
which he goes for HEART AND souL."---
He knows that nine-tenths, il not ninety
nine hundredths Of the Republicans disa-
vow any such an attack upon slavery,
where 1t now exists by law. IL may be
the best way to set bounds TO slavery, by
attaching all possible odium 20 those who
are lsboring with him in the work dear TO
his "HEARr AND SOUL" but we doubt its
being the best for Americanisw. AS an
American, we desire, and shall labor for
certain notifications Of the laws In regard
to aliens. but we have no hope Of over nc
completing those ends without the Coop
Grafton Of most Of the Republicans. This
we never can hope to have II we Ameri-
cans join tho old liners in misrcpresenting
their policy. How would we like 1t, TO
have tho Republican press taking up the
false accusations Of the old linors against
the principles of the americans. and char
ging us with desiring to exclude foreigners
from oil participation in tho affairs fgov-
ernment-not allowing them even to, land
on our shores. and hundred other things
that can be proven against US, just rs friend
Gregg proves Abolitionism upon the Re-
publicans? We shall DO guilty ofno such
a folly. until we wish to pave the Nay
for sliding into the party that encourages
the spread Of slavery aud maintains tho
present outrages against Apsericans, by It's
completely with foreign influences. We
hope Bro. Gregg don't intend TO land

since the election, looks that way. We

Southern Approximations An regard

Tho New Orleans Delta says;
"There are many recent indications
which compel us to believe that Mr.. Bu-
chanan is likely to disappoint the legiti-
mate expectations Of the South, and to
select such persons for his governmental ad-
viscrs as the earnest believers in States,
Rights and progressive politics cannot con.
scicntiously accept-without some grum-
bling and discomfort, at least"
The Delta seems to fear that instead OF
being a Northern man with Southern prin-
ciplcs, he may prove Southern elected
with Northern ideas-"opposed to us in
Kansas, opposed to us in Mexico, oppos-
ed to us in Nicaragua, that he is the same
man whose only argument in favor Of the
admission Of Texas was that Slavery wo'd
find its resting place and grave in her ter
ritory-a most Understandable mistake,

what the Southern Conven ton
has done for the south.

The Richmond Enquirer has high ap.
probation of the benefits of the late Com.
mercial Convention in Savannah to the
South,-it says:
"The most ardent and enterprising minds
in the service Of the South, is not surpris-
ing that the enthusiastic pursuit Of glori-
Gus object should occasionally betray them
into some slight extravaganza Of specula-
ton. Despite those drawbacks the Con-
vention at Savannah impaired impulse to
the movement. 1t discovered our neces-
sites"
II the Convention did that, it perform
ed good work, for which the South ought
to be grateful. But, then, the Convention
ought to have gone little further, and,
after discovering the necessities Of the
South, have discovered some means Of
supplying them. The South will by and
by discover, possibly, that one Of its ne
cessitcs is not Commercial Convention.
The Enquirer ITSELF judging from the fol-
lowing sentence, seems TO have discovered
as much:
"Evcry abortivo attempt to raise the
Slave States to tho dignity Of an indepcn-
dent and self-sustaining community only
results in tightening the bonds Of their
subsection. II this last effort can be baf-
fed, perhaps the capital Of the North will
be secure Of its ascendency."
But the last effort appears to have baill-
ed itself.-N Y Times.
