THE" UNION" TREACHERY-THE "WEN DEL.
EMBRACE'-TIIE "LINCOLN HUG"

:" In the palmiest days of that trusted organ 0le
Washington lnon,) when the venerable Richie sat
upon the tripod. its scahing lighnings, hurled from
the pen of nnbeudng integrity, speedy in over
taking the lecherous reclsants to party iealty and
bringing them cringng prisoners to the bar of public
opinion. Treason was then Infamous, and met that
punishment meted to so hcnous crimc-1dpocae
Yes, when the venerable Ritchc sat upon the
tripod" there was light and life, and truth, with
"unbcnding integrity" that sat there also, enthron-
ed with him under the broad panopy of principle and
eternal justice. Then, the !" Washington Union" was
. trusted organ" and the % seathing ghtnngs'
which flashed from the pen of him who presided over
it, were beacon lights that llumned, with their
glowing scintillatons, the path of honor of reason
and Of truth. Treason was indeed then infamous
but treason has now usurped the judgment seat, or
in other words Black Rcpnbicanism in disguise has
dared attempt to seize the mantle of the veneratcd
Richic and set itselfup in judgment upon the de.
moeracy of the South. That miserable creature
Wendell, now at the head of the Washington Union
has the presumption to attempt to lecture the dcmoc.
racy of the South upon their principles, and their
duty, and with mock gravity, surprising even the
pomposity Of toad pronounccs his Judgment of ey.
communication against every one who will not phi.
any submit TO receive his slimy embraces
We would warn the Southern Democracy against
this false pretcnder of the Union who would have the
andacity to assume and suy the pure mantle of the
illusrous Richie, and we would also warn all those
who bid "good speed" to the Union in this work Of
treachery, there is only degree that separates it
from Black Republcanism The process is direct
Those who approve and sanction the treachery of the
Union, are prepared for the next degree the Wen
dell embrace" and then will very naturally follow,
the Lincoln hug which is about as far as there is
any need to CO. We fear there are few southern dem
ocrats who have already raternized under the Wen
dell embrace which is bad enough in all conscience.
but we do hope they will not 60 as far as the Lin
coin hug,o Wepray them to PAUSE!

THE CROPS, WEATHER &c.

Indian summer If the warmth Of the weather is Ia
be taken for its coming, has been upon us. October
opened with a cool morning, continuance of which
bringing an early frost is much desired. The town
still continues healthy. If the quarantine regulation
as to goods and persons is of any benefit this is the
critical period wien i should be rigidly enforced.
Our planters are busy engaged in picking out
their crops the partial yield of which is now too ap-
rent, for any doubt. II lisa question whether rain
would not do them more injury than good.

WHAT DOUGLAS REPRESENTS

The Washington Union, (the Lincoln Wendell or
gam says of Senator Douglas:
:" He has the endorsement of no convention. lie
represents no political organization"
This is a fasehood.
Democratic conventions were held in ninety eight
ont OF the one hundred and four counties COMPOSING
the State of Illinois. Ninety seven of these county
conventions by resolution, endorsed Senator Douglas
These conventions included every county that gave
majority for Mr. Buchanan in 1856. In the regular
y called and convened State Convention at the State
capitol, over five hundred delegates being present
embracing the bone and sinew of the Illinois Democ.
racy, resolutions were unanimously passed, endorsing
Douglas. 1t is on record, that every County State
Legislative and Congressional Convention held by
the Democrats sustain ea and endorsed Douglas-Er
Ga- The Louisville Journal is calculating on a d
vision between the two houses of the Illinois LEXIS
ature in the election of Senator to succeed Judge
Douglas. That is, says the st. Louis Republican, q
forlorn hope. The Senate will contain majority OF
Dougasites who will vote for Judge Douglas, come
what may. The House will be quite sure to do the
same thing whatever efforts may be made to prevent
it. No Democrat in the State should interposc to
prevent so auspcious result. On the contrary ev-
cry man who hates Black Republicanism, as it has
exhibited itself in Illinois, though he may not be
satisfied with every thing that Judge Douglas has
done, should vote for candidates who will vote for
him, aud carry tho Democracy for the state at all
hazards That done it will be the signal fnr the dis
solution OF the mongrel and miserable party now
threatening so much mischief to the Union and then
we shall have peace and good fellowship and social
