What SOuther Democrats S0y.

The shallow pretence that the late
vote in Kansas put an end to all agi-
tation decieyes no sensible person any
whcre-least of all at the South. The
following significant passages from
the Charleston Mercury on this subject
are worth the attention of English
Swindle Democrats in this State:-
Gazette.
at appears now to be certain that
the Lecompton Constitution, together
with the land ordinance, is rejected by
the people of Kansas at the polls held
last Monday. We suppose the con-
troversy whether the Lecompton Con-
stitution was or was not submitted BY
the Conference Bill to the vote of the
people of Kansas will now end. 1t
could not be rejected if it was not sub
mittsd. 1t is rejected and dead; but
the agitation which it has oecasioncd
is not dead with it. a new issue ari-
ses from its ashes: Shall Kansas be
admitted as Free State at the ap-
preaching Congress, despite the pro-
visions of the Conference Act? The
postponemcnt Of the admission of Kan
sas into the Union until she obtains
the population which member of
Congress represents, was to allow the
South another chance to win this Ter
ritory.
Many have just proclaimed, after
fcverish agitation of five months in
Congress, that a halcyon peace is
brooding over usl The Kansas issue
is endedl The South is triumphant
All hail let us go to sleep! When
lol the hydra head of Abolition springs
up anew. Kansas is rejected from the
Union-the South is defeated; and
I
with an Anti-Slavery Constitution
Kansas is to be forced into the Union
despite the provisions of the Confer
encc Act Darkly the Presidential
election looms up before us shrouded
in clouds and tempests. With the
Democratic party now divided in Hi
nois and almost all the Northern States
where it makes any contest-with
probably still greater division at the
next session of Congress, when the
South shall insist upon the ful6llment
of its faith in the Compromise Act
what hope can there be Of an issue in
the Presidential election favorable to
the Democratic Party Of the South
VIII no; Black Republicanism be in
stalled in power BY the next Prssiden-
tial election: and thus the consuma-
tion take place which throughout the
South, has heretofore been regarded
with great unanimity as the funeral of
the Union?"
"For our part. we have, for some
time past, looked to the mastery of the
general Government by the Abolition
lists to be just as sure to take place as
any other event morally certain in the
conrse of human anairc +"

F Many people make self-denial
an end. and think they are good in
proportion as they are gloomy. Their
faces are worn long and thin with
grim pain. Their Sundays arc tied
up DAYS, bound and restricted. They
are always looking for something in
which to deny themselves. Now you
are never to aim at self-denial as a
thing desirable in itself. Aim at some
positive good, and when lower feelings
clutch at you and would hold you
back. shake them of, and say to them
mol / must have this higher life =

adagc so old that it is almost denied a
place in the memory. But il should
not be forgotten; there is well Of phi

A laugh. in itself, implies something

Martyrs.
In the old time where heroes

Tn the old time where heroes
Men with courage bold and high;
Men, who, with faith unshaken.
Feared not for the Truth 90 die.
In the strength of noble manhood,
For the Right their lives they gave.
Quailing not when rack or faggot
Oped for them a martyrs grave.
Conscience was to them teacher,
And its earnest voice OF power
Gave them strength 10 stand undaunted,
In the darkest trial-hour.
Laws, if cruel and oppressive,
Were to them no rule or guide;
Tvrants ne'er received their homage,
Though by thousands deified.
True to God, and true TO duty,
Flatterers' praise they never sought;
Nor was honor, wealth, or station,
BY life Of falsehood bought.
Warm humanity was beating
In each noble, generous heart;
They, like Mary, heard Christ's teaching
Chose with her "the better part"
And their spirit has not left us;
Men like them are living now.
With faith like theirs mistaken,
With soul Fear may not bow.
Though the world may coldly scorn them,
And their truths may now deride,
And tn oppressor in his greatness,
Like the Lcvite, "stcp aside
Though the friends they love and trusted,
Meet them with averted eve,
And, in place of kindly greetings,
Pass in stately silence by;
Though the poisoned shafts of Malice
Deeply wound the trusting heart,
And the venomed breath Of Slander
Doth assail with deadly art
Yet the true man falters never.
Still the cross he bears on high,
Knowing though il leads to Calvary,
Truth with him shall never die:
For the Master whom he scrv.th,
That dark way has trod before
He will strengthen and support him,
Tilllife's conflicts all are o'er.

!. 1t is Fact-That many clergy
men see the evil of using Tobacco in
a new light, and say so; and more
clergymen have renounced its use
within seven years, than any branch
of the Education Society has educated.
2. 1t is Fact-That Ecclesiasti-
cal Bodies are beginning to denounce
the use of this fashionable Poison. as
thirty years ago they denounced In
toxicating Drinks.
3. 1t is Fact-That many Pull
pits have assailed this habit as SIX
Sin which wastes Property and
Time, which poisons the body and
demoralizes the soul.
4. 1t is a Fact-That many Doc
tors, Lawyers, Teachers, Deacons and
others, a great company In all, have
dropped the habit in all forms, and are
right glad they have done il:
D. 1t is Fact-That Store Keep
crs to some extent. have rclinquished
the sale of this pcrnicious article,
regarding it as immoral as to traffic in
Strong Drink.
g. 1t is Fact-That Bequcsts to
Public Institutions, now made, are
often restricted to students who are
pledged against Tobacco and kindred
evils.
Z. 1t is Fact-That Books and
Tracts, in unprecedented quantities,
showing the frightful cost, and deadly
effects of this Narcotic have been
sprcad-sprcad as far as there has
been a dollar to do it with.
s. 1t is Fact-That Newspapers,
religious and secular, rebukc this
nuisance, with more frequency than
aforetimc. They begin to treat it as
no Joke, but a national miasma and
curse.
Q. 1t is a Fact-That thousands
of Schools have been addressed, and a
Gracious God be praised, a great
Army Of Boys are coming on to battle
intemperance. who have never been
poisoned by Rum or Tobacco.
10. 1t is Fact-That many have
found this Drug powerful absorbent
Of religious sensibility, an idol in the
place Of God; and on giving it up,
they have become happier and more
active Christians.
IL. 1t is Fact-That preaching
the truth on this subject, has been
blessed to many; in some cases pro-
ducing convictions Of sin. which have
sunk deeper and deeper into the soul
