The True SFire Of the Flint.''

We copy the following from the Boston Post,
Democratic paper The Post has always been true
to the Constitutional rights of the South-true in
Bostor, in the midst of our most bitter enemies
That paper says:
"The Democrats of New England, so far from
being in the wrong, intend to live under this Con-
stitution maintain this Union. and protect Southern
rights and Southern men; and they will do it. if
need be- with arms in their hands. Whenever the
contest comes between the South and Republican
fapaticism the Democrats of the North will be with
the South. Whenever the fanatics arm to fight the
South, that instant will they find foe in New Eng
land, in men who will live under the Constitution,
and will live in the Union with the South. Wen
dell Phillips and his Republican cohorts will never
get out of New England to fight any body. They
will rather at the point of the bayonet be driven
into the sea by the outraged men who love the
Union and cherish the memories of the revolution"
Such is substantially the language of all the
Democratic papers which we see from the non-slave
holding States. Among the papers in that region
which are doing the South justice in this crisis, we
NAV mention the Boston Post, the Providence Post,
the Hartford Times, the Detroit Free Press, the
Cleaveland Democrat, the Ohio Statesman, the
New Hampshire Patriot, the New York Ners, the
New York Day Book the New York Journal Of
Arous, the New York Herald, the New York Er-
press, and the Boston Courier All but the two last
mentioned papers are Democratic, save the New
York Herald. which is neutral. The Editors of
these journals are exerting all their energies to ar
rest the an.i-slavery feeling, and to protect our
Constitutional rights And yet if the report of his
speech in caucus Saturday night be true, MIR.
Etheridge, of Tennessee, would sooner cooperate
with the black Republicans than with the party of
which these Editors are organs and exponents; and
Mr.. Gilmer votes for Mr.. Etheridge for Speaker!

wards of $50 in Great Britain. Representing every
phase of sentiment not merely literary and politi

North British to the inide Westminster, and every
shade of political opinion from extreme Radicalism
to the highest Tory doctrine, they would seem
equally and alike indispensable to the statesman

exponents of the great parties which create and
control public opinion in the freest, the most pow

with which We are still so closely linked by bonds
of interest, faith, and affection These Reviews
