suddenly it has ceased to make its wishedfor visit to

The western Democrat. [volume] (Charlotte, N.C.) 1852-1870, 1857-08-18
From the WiLmin gto7a Journal.

u It had been expected by some por-
tons of the opposition, that the recent dis
putes with regard to Mr.. Walkers course
in Kansas, would have produced divisions
in the ranks of the Southern Democracy,
calculated to leopard its success in the
elections of the present month. How far
these expectations have been realized may
be seen from the result, which, in the
aggregate, goes beyond even our hopes
Why this has been the case-how it has
come to pass that the opposition could reap
no advantage from the domestic difficulties,
was very clearly stated on the night of the
18th inst, at a grand rally of the Democracy
of Montgomery, Alabama, by the Hon. VIM.
L. Yancy, gentleman whose opposition to
Walker has been from the first, of the most
open and decided character-yea, even to
bitterness. In regard to Kansas, Mr.. Yam
cey said that:
"He blamed Walker for any official in
reference at all, because he thus violated
the principle of the Kansas n ebraska act,
which forbade Erecutive as well as Con-
gressional Intervention. Walker, however,
it turns out, is not against the wishes of the
pro-slavery men, our friends there. This
fact altered the character of his conduct
somewhat. As far as Walker had gone
beyond the principle of the Kansas act, he
had assurance from Washington that the
Administration would disapprove. The
Union, which had veered to every point of
the compass lately upon this question, was
now, he believed. beginning to express the
sentiments of the Cabinet. But, even if
Walker and Buchanan should betray the
South in Kansas, he should not be disposed
to join the opposition in this District as a
remedy. What join a party that oppos-
ed and denounced the repeal of the Mis-
souri, Restriction .-discouraged Southern
! emigration to Kansas, and supported Fill
more for President who characterized
that repeal as an act of bad faith, a Pan
dora's box, and impugned the motives of
the South to repeal the odious restriction
But Walker was now flashing the sword at
the head of the United States troops in de-
fence of Southern Rights. to put down the
traitorous Freesoilers. If he did his duty
in thus enforcing the laws, and proved true
to the Kansas act henceforward, he, for
one, would be ready to forgive him for the
btunder in his Inaugural and Topeka
speech"
Now, that tells the whole story. Where
could men go? One Democratic appointee
had made blunder in one matter. The
position of all parties opposed to Democ-
racy was wrong throughout.
The western Democrat. [volume] (Charlotte, N.C.) 1852-1870, 1857-08-18

and by their presence among US corrapt
the slave. render him insubordinate, and
injure the value of that species of property,
then, by every principle of common sense
and self-preservation. the Legislature is
called upon to devise some means of abst-
ing it. And if by selling them into slavery
they are provided with home, improved
in condition and furnished with more of the
comforts of life than any other laboring
class in the world, what objection can the
sentimental philanthropist find to the pro-
ceeding! There is an incompatibility in
the existence, for great length of time, of
the two classes in the same community.
The period will arrive when they must
either be all slaves or all free. The ques-
ton must be met, and sooner the better.
That population is increasing and becoming
every day more troublesome and dangerous
to the institution of slavery. There were
in 1850, 27,4G3 free negroes in the State;
the number may now safely be put down at
$4,000! What pile of combustible ma
trials for the abolition torch to set fire to
the fair temple of Southern liberty and in
dependence.
will next week endeavor to show how
the sale of free negroes will effect the in
terest of the State and strengthen the in
stitutions of the South.

The particulars of thesease are as s aufe'--
A gentleman from the South-Koa0Ss;

were stopping at the InternatiouaI 8
On Tuesday they were on the Canal nO'e
and took ferry skiff to return. AO''
After the ladies had taken soo...

rur DIFFERENCE.

The Richmond Enquirer gives the FOL
lowing very truthful distinction OF sae olsi-
sions of the democracy:
To be State Rights Democrat y 20 De
m advocate of the Union, as long as the
sopth is safe within it, and to hold IN re-
serve secession, as the remedy, when state
sovereignty and the Constitution are made
innate to the maintenance of Southern inter-
ests and the defence of Southern honor.
To be a Disunion Democrat, is to deny the
efficacy of the Confederacy, to abandon all
hone of peace and desire for fraternal
friendship with the North, and to contend
tba. a separation of the slave and anti
slave States is to be wished and worked for
earnestly and industriously by the people
of the South. The one only asks that the
Government shall be administered impair
TALLY, as it was originated and designed
for the benefit of all parts and portions,
each State and section of our common coun-
try; demonstrating against every indication
of aggression upon the States, but unwill-
ing to cry out for disunion on account OF
every imaginary grievance. The other
looks with an eve of prejudice upon each
act of the Federal Government, regards
with distrust the protestations, aye, the
manly acts of our allies and friends at. the
North, and is ever arguing, or rather rant
ing, to prove that the South is sacrificing
herself for the sake of the Union, that the
Constitution is altogether annulled, and
that there is no security for slavery except
in separation. The State Rights Demo
Graf is he who would raise the war cry OF
Southern secession in such an event as the
election of a Black Republican President,
or the restoration of the Missouri Compro-
mise, but who sees as yet nothing to justify
for the perpetuity of the Union, by an I'M
prejudiced and impartial enforcement of
the Constitution. The Disunion Democrat
is he, who, reckless of consequences, and
regardless of the fact that the government
is still in the hands of able. honest and pa
triotic men, that abolitionism has been
beaten again in its efforts to seize upon the
reins of power, and that the South is still
secure in her rights, would discover the
North and South tomorrow, and find no
regret in the thought that in the burial
ground of nations, the resting place of this
Union would be marked by broken col
umn. The State Rights Democracy are
unwilling to abandon the Union yet. But,
while they hope to perpetuate it, should
the rights of the South become insecure in
its keeping, they will not hesitate to unfurl
flag of independence with only fifteen
stars upon it.

GEN. JACKsoN's GOLD SNUFF BoX.-It
has already been stated that the joint COM
mittee of the common councils of New York
have concluded to award to Col. Garrett
w. Dyckman, of the New York Regiment,
which served in the Mexican war, the gold
box which was presented to Gen. Jack son
by the authorities of that city, soon after
his elevation to the Presidency, and at his
death left by him to that person who should
be adjudged to have been the most valiant
in defence of his country's rights. Col.
Dyckman is quite young man, and refus-
ed to put in his claim, until the committee,
induced by the testimony of numerous wit
nesses waited upon him and urged him to
make application. The snuff box, which is
valued at $1,000, is now in the hands of
Andrew Jackson, Jr., of Tennessee, who
purposes bringing it to New York himself.
1t will probably be presented to Major d.
by the committee, in front of the City Hall,
on the 18th of September, ON which occa-
sion the military are expected to be out a
banquet given, and rather splendid affair
made of the proceeding.

CHINESE SUGAR CANE,

The following are the earliest notices we
have seen of this years crop of Chinese
Sugar Cane. A correspondent of the Col
umbia Times says:
''On Saturday last had the pleasure of
inspecting very good quality of Molasses,
produced from the Chinese Sugar Cane,
grown by DR.. D. w. Rea, a planter in the
Fork.
The specimen proved to be superior
quality, half gallon of which (Molasses)
had been extracted from only taoenty stalks.
learned that DR.. Rea, who is one of our
most successful and influential citizens, has
planted only four acres in this cane, and
that he is satisfied he will be able to extract
from it fifteen hundred gallons of Syrup,
which, if equal to the specimen inspected,
will be regarded by the heads of families
quite acceptable for table use, to say moth
ing of plantation purposes
Richard FL. Smith, Esq, of Scotland
Neck, N. c., writes to the Raleigh Register
that he has made an experiment with the
Chinese Sugar Cane, with the following re-
suits:
From three unripe joints of the cane,
about one gill of juice was imperfectly ex-
tracted, and after having been boiled for
half an hour, table spoonful of very good
molasses was acknowledgements to the
common grades of molasses.
write this to encourage those persons
who have planted the cane, to 90 to work
| and make their mills, and give it fair trial.
If they have not cane enough to Justify
the expense of a mill with wooden rollers,
let them extract the juice, as have done in
this instance, by using the edge of piece
of thick plank or scantling as lever power.
Make the experime MT if with a pint of Juice
| only.
From the great yield of juice and the
| simple process required in making the mo-
lasses, have no doubt of its complete sue
cess, and that the day is not distant when
the sugar-mill will be as common with our
people as the cider-mill was years ago
when every family will make their own mo-
lasses-and the children-white and black
will eat bread and molasses, and drink
''switcher' to their hearts content.
" There are two things about which
you should never grumble; the first is that
which you cannot help, and the other that
which you can help.

when he should have been in his bed; the
whole time of his sojourn in Washington
was a martyrdom and when he came back
among us, it was to thank God that he had
been permitted to return to die among his
kindred. And here too, again, / assert the
parallel to the text is complete-his end
uas peace How little are revealed to US
of the meditations of man whose-ties are
daily loosening his steps to the grave, and
looking beyond with hope. One interview
1 had with him I can never forget: Graft
tude to God was his theme and listening,
as did, to his rehearsal of the Divine
mercy towards him from youth up, 1. cut
short an interview which, though greatly
to my benefit, I feared would be to his
injury--so great appeared to be the
strength of his emotions, working upon
delicate frame. In the last interview had
with him, which was but recently, he ex-
pressed the most entire resignation to the
will of God, and full assurance of happi-
ness in the world to come. / am told by
one who witnessed the dying scene, that
after addressing his farewell to his children
he composed himself in silent prayer, and
then looked up in ecstacy and said, "Praise
the Lord, O my soul -
To his children, our friend has left the
rich legacy of merited fame; to this COM
munity, the precious memories of bright
christian example to his State and Coun-
try, the enduring effect of wise counsels
and benevolent heart.''
