To the sham democratic presses of the
South that are constantly harping on the pre-
tended abolitionism of Southern Know Moth
ings. and charging that the Southern Ameri
cans are seeking fusion with the black repu-
blicans, this declarat3Dn of the outspoken
South Carolina Senator, should come with
crushing effect. If they have any sense of
shame left.their faces should not only be man
tied with bushes, bat their tongues should
cleave to the roof of their months, their hands
forget their cunning. and their pens refuse
the repetition. If it were really true that
the Southern opposition were seeking an al
lance with, not merely the free soilers of the
North, but with the abolitionists proper, they
would be no more reprehensible than those
by whom they are revilcd: who are themselves
in full fraternity and fellowship with men,
who, according to the testimony of Mr. Ham
MoND, are as hostile to Africap slavery, as are
the Stewards, HALEs and WILSON'S and their as
sociates. What then becomes of the arraign-

battle holds Richmond as its focus. The
journals Of that city are gradually coming to
white heat. These mctropoltans seem to
act under the motto "we will neither give

intention to "bolt" before they will yield to
the desolating sweep of a victorious army of
factious democrats. In this they are sensi-
