Rustic Speeulations.

Mr.. EDrToR:-What is more common IL
this day and generation, than 10 hear oul
noisy political nationals applauding the SOUND
judgment Of and unalterable integrity Of the
rural yeOmapry? Then such being the char.
aeter awarded to US, is it not just, Mr.. Ed
ItOr, that our speculations upon the aspect
Of political affairs have some weight? The
argus eyes Of Gen. Clark, Bob Hancock,
Frank Taylor, and men of like kidney, have
ceased TO be the only medium through which
the honest yeQmenry receive sight of politi.
cal salvation and the oft-repeated song OF
glorious nationality which has Of late mo.
nopolized the breath of Buchanan loafers
has subsidized into distant and indistinct
echo This same nationality has even with.
in the present year, been held up to the view
Of conservative men of the South, as the
only conservation Of peace; the only obstruc-
ton TO rampant fanaticism-the great savior
of the South, through whose instrumental
ty the obnoxious ravages of agition were to
be stayed. What are the facts? Why, sir,
we see, when the first practical illustration
Of the glories of their Kansas bill is attempt
ed-the admission of that Territory as q
State under the Lecompton Constitution
some twenty-three Of these immaculate Un-
ion saviors, bolt at right angles and take dis
tinctly Northern grounds. and then. stand
ing boldly forth, in defiance of the admins
tration's frowns and curses, declare their
fixed purpose, Of forever opposing any bill
which does not virtually submit that consti-
tuition TO vote Of the people Of Kansas
What does the fre-eating Senator Of Mis-
souri, in such q case? After having made
long -winded speeches upon the rights of the
South in Kansas-the absence Of fraud in
her elections and legality Of the constitution,
after having declared himself adansnt with
regard TO the Senate bill, we see him--Jas.
S. Green, the would-be Missouri Gen, Jack
son, enter into an agreement with English,
end others, which at one and the same time
places the Lecompton Constitution in the
power of the aboIitienists of Kansas, and
re-opens sectional strife which will no doubs
hold out faithfully to the end of 1860. With
these facts staring US in the face and the
additional axiom that the Democracy is
growing beautifully less" since the de-
parture Of its nationality, what conclusion
would it be natural for an honest yeomanry
to come 10? Why, sir, the conservative por-
ton of Randolph (and majority Of her vo-
ter belong TO this CLASSY have determined
since they do not live by agitation, TO stand
inmovable upon the broad principles of A
and nominate and vote for their
own candidates.. We feel that this course
is the move necessary since the country's
peace-the prosperity Of the Union, and
safety of that sacred compact-the Consti-
tuition Of this mighty confederacy-demands
that conservatism should once more have
full sway in our government. The radical
ism Of The Democratic and Republican par
ties has become too glazing 10 be longer
doubted BY the honest thinking public, and
its rarnges upon the health Of institutions
too apparent TO be successfully denied by
the most hardened "unterrifed" reproba,e.
Conservatism has of late been slumberine at
her post; but the alarming signs Of the storm
in the political heavens have at last aroused
her from her leshargio sleep. Randolph
feela its influence, and calls upon her sister
counties 20 adhere 10 the voice of reason land
remembering the conservative triumph Of
lS40, arise in their might and shake or The
corrosive letters of the dominat party. This
being our resolve we may confidently look
10 glorious and browning victory
in the next Presidential election.
