SOuTH CARoLiNA.--Sena.or Hammond, o!
South Carolina, made very sensible speech
ut Barnwel Courl-liouse, on the goth ult.,
whirh is published in the Charleston Courier
and other of our exchanges. We say seasi.
sibIe, because the word is expressive of n
quality which seldom enters into the speeches
of our public men in these days of rant and
fustian. We subjoin M extract:
"Rsckless as is political ambition, aud III
sane az fanaticsm ever is, have no idea that
the free States can be consolidated on the
wild project OF ruling the Shareholders by
mere brute Numbers, either through the bal,
lot-box or by force Of arms; whether to
emancipatc our slaves, or strip us of the
fruits of their labor; or to govern Us with the
mildness and paternal care due 10 interiors.
The nervous in the South, and the abolition
tdemaasgusa Of the North, usay believe it,
But w'ief il comes to The actual test Ii nei-
ther sober sensc nor patriotism should pre-
vail, the sense OF danger and tho love OF cot
ton aud tobacco would, with our northern
brethren, In every crisis, ever ride their love
of negroes. On this | think you NAV depend,
despite tho insolrnt boasts Of the abolition
lists of what tacy will do, when they get the
government in their own hands. The North
has only to be made clearly sensible how far
she can 90, aud what the South will not 'ub-
init to. She will not trespass beyond that,
but will content herself with the glory OF car
rying the alternate biennial elections ns she
has jus, done--nlways leaving !! TO tho de-
mocracy TO carry that which makes the Pres
ident."
The tolerant and conservative sentiment
ennneiated in Senator ilammond's speech, is
now the sentiment Of nineteen -twentie,hs of
the people Of the South. Indeed, the doc
trino of Dissolution, Of which wo heard so
much a year or two ago, at this time finds no
echo any where except through tho columns
of journal published in East Tennessee
and edited by u gentleman Of foreign birth,
who is afflicted with the singular hallucina-
ton that hs mission in the land OF his Ndop-
ton Is to DsmemLcr the Confederacy and
bring the price Of niggcra down to One Hun.
drcd Dollars per head.
We regret the want Of space prevents us
from giving more copous extracts from Sen
ator Ilammond's speech.

Calling Spirits from the Vastly Deep.

Our venerable and much esteemed friend-cf the
Memphis Bullssa has lately engaged himself in the
labor of lOveOf calling to life g the old whig par
ty." Hopeful and aFeelionate, be sees signs of life
where there is really nothing bot rottenness and
decay. The bleak winds of December bio wing over
the sandy hlloek in which is buried the body Of a
once formidable organization, to him are spring
breezes upon
g A bank on which the Wild thyme grows !"
and he exhumes the long fostering corpse. loaih
some TO other eyes, he declares that
son the cod cheek OF death smiles and roses are blending
And beauty immortal aNakes from the tomb %
We eau excuse Ibis hallucinaiion in our venerable
friend of the Bulleta For he was not present con-
ssuiing to Che death of the wing party How mourn
fully, when his former associates resOlDsd that
the Whg party was dead, - he cried, Z" o Absalom,
my son :" we have not yet forgotten. And the mo,
uOmsnis which affects him with the idea that the
whg party again lives IS as rm,ess and almost asaf
geong as that Of the afflicted mother who continues
TO see and to converse with her dead child although
the grave has long since hidden such sight frcm al
others.
For some others who talk Of this resurrection of
the wing party We have much less charity. Seme
ofhose who helped to kill the party among these
resdrrectionists. A notable case has lately occur,
red in the criminal Jurisprudence of this State,
wherein man himself wrote letters back 10 the
place of his former residence that he was dead! lie
even wrote where his body could be found It is
said that the friends who exhumed the corpse re
eognzed the clothes as those Of the missing man. but
the body was that Of an unknown stranger. The
late know nothing leaders would have the public
believe that it such a trick as this that was
played of in 1855 that it was only the old clothes
of the Ehig party which we're then buried: while
the body has been all the time roaming the country
and is now ready 10 be fitted with new dress, and
to take its place again candidate for public con-
fdence and honOrs. There was no such trick. The
Whig party was killed dead by the know nOthings
Its death public, and the body was fully ident-
fed by the spectators. There is no resurrection for
it. and if its slayer is to be punished such punish
ment must be inflicted by the Democracy.
