Mai. ETerron,s sneecI,.


The following is theconcIusion of the South
Vests review of Maj. Herron's speech at
Gfeenwell:
How stands Mr. Davidson on the Kan
sas- Walker questions I On this all.import-
ant subject, the opinions of an aspirant
for Congressional honors, should not be
left in doubt. Gov. Walkers unwarranted
Intervention in the affairs of the people Of
Kansas his utter disregard of the plain
precepts Of the constitution-hi fragrant
departure from the principles Of the Gin
cinnati platform, and Of the Kansas and
Nebraska acts, and his complete sacrifice
of Southern rights, and Southern interests
in the Territory of Kansas, have received
the unqualified condemnation of the De-
mocracysof Georgia and Mississippi, in
convention assembled. Other conventions
have denounced his course without meas
ure, aud among them the convention that
nominated Mr.. Sigur. The mass of the
whole Southern people without distinction
of party, are convinced that great wrong
has been perpetraEed on them. Then in
matter of this vast importance to the
South, repeat where stands Thomas G.
Davidson. | assert that Judging from his
letter published in the Argus, he occupies
neither side of the question, or both sides,
according to the construction placed by
the reader unon the document. In one
sentence be praises Walker to the skies,
and boots at the idea of the interests of
the South being endangered in his keep
ing; in another he gently objects to Mr.
Walkers imperial interference. In one
place he endorses Walkers, gratuitously
advising the people what they shall do
In another he thinks he has gone rather
far Thus as usual he has prepared him
self for any emergency. He may, with
out tile charge Of gross inconsistency,
hereafter endorse or repndiate Walker as
il suits his purposes at The time. No one
should receive our suffrages who is not
clearly aud beyond the shadow Of a doubt
true to our interests.
Laurent >. Sigur, the other Democratic
candidate, comes recommended by his
many good qualities as private citizen
the honorable, high-minded, high-toned,
chivalrous gentleman; the breath of suspi-
cion even, has never ruffied The surface Of
his pure and clear and honorable reputa-
ton, as man. True, bold, independent,
he is indeed, ehevalier sans peur ct sans
reproche. As man worthy in every re-
spect of our confidence. AS politician
he commands our respect and admiration.
His characteristic holiness and indepen~
dence, eminently qualify him to represent
us in Congress at this juucture. His
known and admitted ability gives every
assurance that our public interests will be
in safe and reliable hands; his great en-
ergy and industry is sure guarantee that
the private interests of his constituents
will not be neglected

He is consistent Democrat, of the
State-rights school. The charge that he is
a dlsunionist is brought by bis opponents
against him. | deny the CHARGE; / feel au-
thorlzed to say it is false. This cry of
d'snnion, which periodically is raised by
submlsslonists, against those who dare
advocate the rights of the States, and
Slndlcate resistance, even to the last exs
tFemlty, to the aggressions of those who
would piecemeaI tritter away our consti-
| tutlohal rights, will be raised in vain, a.
ganst Mr.. Sigur. He stands upon the
Cincinnati platform upon the slavery
question, he endorses the Calhoun resolu-
tions adopted by the convention from
which be received his nomination; he
openly, unequiyocaliy and without re-
serve, condemns Gov. Walkers interfer-
ence in the affairs of the people ofKansas.
lie Is willing to await the action of Presi-
dent Buchanan, until the lime for serding
his annual message to Congress. If he
then dlsconnects himself clearly and dis
tlnctly from the gross outrages perpetra-
ted by Walker in Kansas, he will receive
at Mr.. Sigur's hands, as he should re-
ceive at the hands of all good citizens,
that endorsement he will well deserve. II,
however, Mr. Buchanan should abandon
the principle of fnon-ntervention, the very
corner stone of the platform on which he
was elected, and endorse Walkers course
IN Kansas, then will Mr.. SigHF be ready
to make common cause with the friends
of the violated Constitution, and mete out
even to Mr.. Buchanan the full measure
of well deserved condemnation already
bestowed on Walker. .....
Sigur is charged with being fillibuster.
If by this charge it is meant Mr.. sigur
favored the assistance that Lopez, Crits
tenden and others sought to carry into the
Island of Cuba to the people of that isis
and desiring to be relieved from the yoke
of oppression which bound them down.
if it is meant that in consequence of his
sympathy with the Cubans, and in imita-
ton Of those who in our revolutionary
struggle assisted our infant Republic in
its struggles for liberty, he lost fortune
in the effort-if it means that he lie in IA
Vor of extending the area of liberty by
carrying our Republican system 20 our
neighbors-if it means that he is in favor
of the acquisition Of Southern territory
then he is filibuster, and SO is every true
man in the South.
These are the candidates, these their
principles. You have a right 70 choose
between them. How can you hesitate.

The Vicksburg Sun thus brings its
clear and well,written article to close
Seward is the man we will have to con-
! tend with in 1860; and in him we will find
foelnan well skilled in all the arts of
war; a strategist without u rival, and a
political chieftain of great deliberation,
unparalleled sagacity, and wonderful
foresight. To defeat well disciplined
army, led on by such anan, will be no
easy task. Already is he marshalIing his
forces preparatory to the great contest of
1860.
What are we doing Taking our ease
on the couch Of inactivity, and regarding
the mutterings Of the thunder, which be-
tokens the storm cloud, with supreme in.
difference. We must arouse ourselves
from the dream Of security in which we
are indulgng. When the.encmy is thun-
dering at our gates it will be too late to
offer him effectual resistance. A oneness
of sentiment, feeling and action should
animate the people of the South. Let
there be no division among us when the
great day oftrial comes. Let US eyince by
our unity of action that when our rights
are assailed, we know how to defend them,
that we dare defend them, at all hazards,
and to the last extremity. We must put
our house in order, in view of the threats
etling danger. We must prepare for the
great battle which is to decide the fate of
the Union, as becomes the descendants of
those who fought and bled to secure the
inestimable blessings by which we are on
all sides surrounded.
Very well said and very correct. With
all our heart we reiterate the saying that
there should be "a oneness of sentiment,
feeling and action among the Southern
people; that there should 'be no division
among us when the great day of trial
comes;' and that unity of action and uni
on of feeling should characterize our con-
duet in the future. Otherwise we will,
necessarily, be lilly prepared for the great
struggle that is approaching, and which
our enemies are determined to force upon

HEROIC WoMAN. We read in the Cour.
rier de la Drome, very interesting story
about woman who has excited much
interest at Valence. The name of the
woman is Hypsen, by birth PTussian,
mother of four children, and the wife of an
infrIn man. Driven bx necessity and
starvation, she disguised herself as a man,
under the name of Michel. For five years
she worked hard as navy at the rail-
ways. Attired thus, she passed for a
young man of about twenty or twenty-five
years, though she was more than thirty
years old. Her fellow w-laboFers had always
observed the great solicitude with which
the young laborer watched over her husn
band, whom she described as her father,
as also over her four children, whom she
passed off as her brothers and sisters. It
was observed that the youngest of the
children, whom she secretly sucked, was
the object of her particular care. Her
general conduct also was generally ads
mired, and her assiduous industry was
such as to induce the foreman to raise her
wages twenty five centimes above those
of the others. The imposition was at last
discovered, and astonishment soon gave
way to admiration, which, ere long, mani
tested itself in sympathy and donations
from all parts ofthe neighborhood. She
herself did not think anything of what
she had done in pure dictation of her feel
ings, md when at last she attired as be-
came her sex, ali she was afraid Of was
the inconvenience of the female dress in
her daily labor. However, work more
suited to her sex has since been amply
provided for her.-Home Journal.

The New Orleans Crescent, notices an article
in the Vicksburg Sun, under the above caption,
which il warmly endorses. Ii takes, says the
Crescent, almost The same ground that has
characterised that paper for months past. and
we may assert for ourself that it is the ground
which the Sentinel has occupied since Novem-
ber last, and, in our opinion, "the true ground
that every Southern journal should occupy
81 oneness Of sentiment, feeling and action,'
has been the handspring Of cur argument hith-
erto, and will continue to be; it would be that
"wal of adamant" expressed by Mr.. Gibson, of
Terrebonne, and the "unhroken Southern pha-
lanx" which we contended for in our paper of
the 9th of December last.
After showing the inroads which Black Re-
pubIcanism is making on the borders of slave
territory in every direction, and the PROBABILITY
ofan early addition Of four OF five Free States
10 the Union, the Crescent goes on to say:
With the Sun, we say, says the Cres-
cent, I'VE are no alarmist. We are no
panic maker. We would not Willingly
add TO the fears of any one, much less
prognosticate evil without good reason
for so doing. We could have no motis e
for saying that the South was doomed, SO
far as the action of the general govern
ment is concerned, unless we firmly be-
lieYe such to be the fact. We may as
well make up our minds to look the danger
which threatens US fullin the face, and
meet it like men who know their rights,
and knowing dare maintain them
After stating that i is the opinion Of
sagacious statesmen that the Union will
not last four years, 'unless a great reac<
ton takes place in the North on the sub
iect Of slavery. The Sun makes the subs
joined practical remarks:
The Abolition sentiment is growing
daily, and it will continue to grow until IL
darkens the whole Northern horizon
when we drive slavery out Of Kansas,
said Senator Wilson, We will attack it in
the States where ii exists. This is their
programme to which they are committed.
10 carry il out, they will employ every
agency that the mind can conceive, or
Ingenuity invent. We elected a Speaker
exullingly said Horace Greeley, 'and why
cail. we not elect a Presidentg That they
viii elect the man Of their choice for the
Presidency, without an interposition Of
Providence, is not only the opinion of a
few, bat it is the opinion Of nearly all our
most far-seeing statesmen.
Many long months ago we predicted
that, in 1860, they,' the Black RepubH-
cans, would select the man oftheir choice,
Senator William III. seward--to the
Presidency unless there was remarka-
bic change in Northern popular sentiment,
Of which there then appeared not the
slightest probability, and Of which there
appears not now the slightest probability
