Democrat and sentinel. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1853-1866, 1858-06-09
Democracy North and South.

The following is an extract of late letter
to the BardstowD (ky.) Gazette. from It's ed
itor, who is at present sojJurning In this
city IL have met with men Of all parties
and of no party, aud have talked with them
upon Kansas, I4econpton. etc, and | must
say that L see no difference between politi-
clans in Pennsylvania and Kentucky. The
Democrats here talk just as the Democrats of
Kentucky do; they seem juzt as national as
we are, and have as great dislike TO every
thing like SectioaalisDl | find no Abolition
isis among the Philadelphia Democracy, but.
on the contrary, l have heard more unspa-
ring denunciation of Abolitionists by Penn
sylvanians, than | ever heard by hentuck-
ans, The truth Is, the people Of the North
and the South are pretty much the same sort
of folks, if the only knew it. They are not
sufficiently acquainted with each other, and
are preludiced one against the other by in
terested political schcmsrs. There are Nor
thcrn Abolitionists and Southern dis-Union-
ists-Northern freedom shriekers and South
ern fire eaters-but the great mass OF the
people-the nasseS-bcth North and South,
are sensible, conservative, patriotic. Union
loving people and this Is being better IN
derstood as the people Of the extreme regions
| are brought together more closely aad more
| frequently By the increased facilities of rail
road enterprise. The potent effect of mere
I contiguity and Of free interchange between
/ individuals of different regions and different
! institutions, to neutralize hostility, to extin-
guish or essentially mollify prejudice, and to
enkindle sympathy, good Will, and finally
! friendship, was Pithily illustrated by the
! Welch itinerant preacher: Walking abroad.
says he, 'one foggy morning ] saw IN the
| distance, looming up through the mists on
the hillside, what appeared to be stalking
monster. On approaching nearer. | found
this seeming monster was simply a mar. And
| on coming close up | discovered this man to
be my own dear brotleT p just so-at a
distance all the North are Abolisionists, and
all the South arc slave-driving fire eafars-
but when they come closer together they find
| each other to be men of similar views and
principles and brethren of like sympathies. "
IMPORTANT DEsPATcHEs EXPECTED. = a
Washington correspondent of the Courier
and Enquirer says that ''the Government ex-
poets important intelligence from England by
the next steamer, 1t is understood that Lord
Napier has given his opinion that his Gov
ernmeut will contend for the right of vista
ton of ships as distinct from the right OF
search. Should dispatches from Mr.. Dallas
confirm the expectation, the relations of the
, two countries viii suddenly approach the
casus BeRi. The first effect of such unfavor-
able news viii be the prolongation of the
Session indefinitely beyond the day now fixed
for adjournment. The Administration prom,
Uses to meet this contingency with vigor.
The intimations thrown out are that orders
will be given to bring all British armed YES
sels, committing acts of cutrages upon ou
Ships, into port for adjudication. An army
officer remarked to me to-day that the senior
American officer Oh the station lost gloriou
opportunity for distinction in failing to bring
thc .Styr into Norfolk.
