cited, feverish subject of fanaticism 1t would
be n damper to all their hopes. 1t would give
quietus, more than all the speeches in Con-
gress or acts of Administrations, to the Slavery
agitation. If that can be done, our Union is
safe; we are still one happy, glorious people,
going on from greatness TO greatness, conquer
ing the admiration and praise of men, But if
that cannot be done, our word for it, we are a
divided people, and as good already as launched
upon the untried sea, with all its perils, per-
haps, full of perils--of Disunion"
In another article, the Enquirer refers to the
editor of the Clarke Journal as follows:
we merely suggest to the good people of
Jefferson and Clarke counties, that the squad
of Yankee pedlars lately ordered away from
their borders are emissaries of much less
dangerous description than that to which Mr..
Alexander Parkins belongs. A hired dissent.
nator of abolition treason is the very man of
all others to tamper with slaves, to run them
of, or, if he has the courage to do so, to lead
the van of servile instruction. Whether Mr..
Parkins has not already laid himself liable to
fine and imprisonment in the county Jail, for
his completely with Horace Greeley's incen-
diary efforts, is question which we recommend
to the careful consideration of the prosecuting
attoypey in Clarke county. But there can be
no doubt whatever that the people of Clarke
and the surrounding counties owe it to their
own safety to suppress this incendiary sheet.
respectful request to Mr.. Parkins to leave the
community, signed by all his subscribers, would
perhaps prove efhcacIous but don't lynch him.
The friends and supporters of Messrs. Hunter
and Dickinson should especially attend to this
matter. The impudence with which Parkins
attempts to shelter his treason behind the
names of these worthy gentlemen deserves
especial Reproduction"
Nothing short of madness and terror equal
to that of the French revolution could make
treason out of such a case.

FIRST DECISION IN FAVOR OF UNLIMITED
FREEDOM To NEGRoEs-At Edinburgh, Scot
land, on the 18th of January, 1888, the Lords
Gudgesl of Session, by majority of ten to four,
gave judgment in favor of the unlimited free
dom of the blacks in that country, so that Scot
land has the honor Of giving the first general
decision upon this great question. All the
trials in England concerning the rights of ne
groes, even in that of Somerset in the Kings
Bench, having been only on special points such
as, whether the master of negro in Great
Britain was entitled to take legacy left to the
negro?" given against the master with costs,
by Lord Northngton or whether the master
could, by his own authority, put negro in
letters, and send him beyond seas?" given
against the master, in the case of Somerset.
The four dissentient judges were Lord Presi.
dent, and Lords Elliock, Monboddo, and Gov
ington; Lord Alva was absent, through indispo-
stion. The Court then consisted Of fifteen
Judges. London annual Register for i7s8,

PIrTs DEATH-BED.-Pitt died at his house
on Putney Heath, near the spot where Canning
and Castlereagh fought their duel, and in a
very neglected state, none of his family or
friends being with him at the time. One, who
was sincerely attached to him, hearing of his
illness, rode from London to see him. Arriving
at his house, he rang the bell at the entrance
gats but no one came. Dismounting, he made
his way to the hall-door, aud repeatedly rang
the bell, which no one answered. He then en-
tered the house, wandered from room to room,
till at last he discovered Pitt on bed-dead,
and entirely neglected. 1t is supposed, that
such was his poverty, he had not been able to
pay the wages of his servants, and that they
had absconded, taking with them what they
could.-Ehglish Paper. @ /.

The UNION IN DANGER = The deepest in
terest is taken here in the New York election
and if it should go for the black Republicans,
there will be an almost universal sentiment in
favor of immediate secession, "peaceably if we
can, forcibly if we must"
What do your people mean when they sane
ton the doctrines of the infamous Phillips,
Beecher, Co.? Years ago it was a saying of
an old gentleman of Accomack, that women,
preachers, and politicians, would dissolve this
Union; !" and 1t seems his prediction is about
to be realized.
Be not deceived. The hour has come when
the South must and will demand that the peo-
pie of the North meet this crisis, and show
themselves equal to the occasion. They will
require that your Legislatures enact laws punish.

SUBSTITUTE FOR STRYCHNINE WHIsKY-The
liquor sold in the porter-houses ofthe rst fourth,
sixth, ninth, thirteenth, and seventeenth wards
has lately been celebrated for its certainty to
kill within few moments after drinking. A
man whose stomach would not stand aquafortis
cannot safely risk his life with the whisky of
the ninth and thirteenth wards. Hard drink
ers will be pleased to learn that there is good,
reliable substitute offered. "Minie.riae bran
dy," killing two hundred yards, offhand, must
yield in potency to "tangle-foot whisky" q
drink now in general use. 1t is made of diluted
alcohol, nitric acid, boot-legs, and tobacco, and
will upset an individual at q distance of four
hundred yards from the demijohn containing it.

PLANTERs, BANK OF ST. MARY.-Already infiu-
ences in various quarters are arrayed against the
proposed bank which is so much needed in 81.
Mary, and our planters are urged, by those who
are interested in binding them fast in gold and
influences will be turned against this measure by
all men outside of st. Mary and within the parish
also, who grow fat upon the financial embarrass-
ments and dependence of our people. But are our
assertions from such quarters? or will they exam
inc this matter independently for themselves and
judge accordingly? Our citizens who wish well to
the parish should be cautious how they accept as
truth the mere assertions of interested witnesses
who would lose just as much as our planters would
gain by the existence of substantial hank in
