Southern Democracy and Disunion.
We gave the other day an extract
from the recent speech Of Senator Ham
mond, Of South Carolina, whose talents
and character give him a position Of so
much distinction and influence in the
Democratic party. Since then we have
seen the whole speech, and give some
further extracts:
"To him the whole theory and scheme
Of squatter sovereignty was o matter Of
disgust. The Kansas Nebraska bill
was a deception and delusion from the
beginning. It's only effect was to add
another Free State to the Union"
"If zoe hal dissglUed the Union, and
had engaged in q brush with some pco-
pie, (Which must occur in setting up for
ourselves, and lawfully establishing our
institutions,) i,0ould haze been best for
as; Jut nO1o, If zoe can ritLs 10 The Union,
let as remain"
1.-THE North cannot unite permanent
ly while the South cam The North
never yet had an important Office for
more than one term. He, therefore,
feared nothing now. Yet he would say
to the South, there may be danger;
stand to your arms, mark time, and be
ready TO act promptly in resisting any
actual interference with our rights"
" We must dissoIUs The Union, If they
effect any one Of their aggressive purpo-
ses,-tari6S, banks, or tamPering o0ith
slqUes.'
The whole speech is characterized by
manly candor and CLEANS Of practical
sense, not usual in fre-eater. For in
stance, he says:
1--WE lost Kansas because we had not
slaves to put there. We are now strug-
Cling to keep Texas against the inroads
Of Northern emigrants," "
The whole speech may be taken as a
fair exponentof the present and ultorior
views of the Southern Democracy
So long as they can rule in the Union,
they t0U remain, but if power can be
taken from them they will seek the ear
| |liest opportunity for breaking it up
With a view to this ulterior result, nev.
er to be overlooked, he says to them,
"Stand to your arms, mark time, and
keep your powder dry"
Such is now the condition of this
great nation. 1t is under the control
through the Democratic party, of a sci
of Disunionist leaders. who have the di
abolical candor thus publicly to avov
their reasonable views. "Permit us tC
rule YOU as we please, or we dissolve the
Union" such is the open threat which
thew have the audacity to address t
this great nation. Whilst hugging sucl
men to its bosom, and submitting t.
their leadership, the Democracy have
the impudence to invite Kentuckiaus
Tennesseeans and Iissourians to afflat,
with them.
If further proof were needed of tn,
fixed purpose of these men in the pur
suit of disunion, we have it in the pro
cecdings of a public meeting recent,

OW CH Rus LAID THE GABLE
A Ballad.
~ JOHN O. SAKE.
Come listen on unto my songs

'Tis Hll about the mighty cord
They call lho Atlantic Gable.
Bold Cyrus Field he said, says he,

That / can run a telegraph
Across the Atlantic Ocean.
Then ail the people laurhrd aud suid,
They'd like TO see him do e.;
He might get hall seas. over, but
He never could go through Il.
To currv out bic foolish plan
Hs never would be able;
He might us wei 60 hang himself
With his Atlantic Gable.
Bot Cyrus was a valiant man,
A fellow Of decision;
And needed not their mocking words,
Their laughter and derision.
Twice did his hravesl efforts fail,
And yet his mind was stables
He want the mum 70 break his heart
Because he broke HE cable.
"Once more my gallant boys" hecried;
"Thrce times You know the fable"
CrI'll make Il HirW" mu't.rs5 ne,
"But H'.. .ag I.s .H-.g')
Once more they tried--hurroh! hurrah!
What means this great commotiou1
The Lord be praised! the cables laid
Across the Atantis Ocean!
Loud ring the bells-for, flashing through
Six hundred leagues Of water,
OH mother Englaud's benisou
Salutes her eldest daughter.
Ger al the land the tidings speed
Aud SOON in every nation
They'll hear about the cable with
PfOfoundesi admiration!
Now long live james, and long live Vic,
And long live gallant Cyruo!
And may his courage, fuit aud zeal
With emulation fire u.s.
And may we honor evermors
The manly, bold and stable,
And tell our sous, TO make them brave,
How Cyrus laid the cable.

The following from the Washington
correspondent Of the Philadelphia Pross
Sept. 21sD is worthy the attention Of
Democrats in this county:
What do the people whom Owen
Jones, DimmicS, Wilson Reilly, English,
and the generality of the Northern lie
comptonites, are assuring that they will
vote for the admission of Kansas, ire
spective of population and the pro.
visions of the English bill, think Of
the rod Which the President holds over
his officials on this subject2 I allude
to his position as defined in the speech
of Hon. A. G. Brown, U. S. Senator
from Mississippi, thus reported by the
Vicksburg Wing:
Mr.. B. said: "that he called on the
President before he left Washington and
that Mr.. Buchanan assured him in the
most positive and uncquivocal terms that
he would appoint no man to office who
held the opinion that Kansas ought to
be admitted before she has population
which would entitlo her to rcPresen-
talive in Congress, according TO the
terms of the Conference bill) and that
he 1O0uld de3apitate eUcry o6ice-hoIder
