ABUsE OF Il PREsIDENT.-The political
campaign recently. terminated in some of the
most important States of the Union was marks
eddy a peculiar acerbity on the part of the op-
position towards the President of the United
States. Now that the battle is ever, we doubt
not that some of the more reputable orators
and editors would feel no little shame, if not
disgust, att their own absurd and truculent
charges if they could be revived to their mem
cries in calm and rejecting moments. That
stump-spouters, slang-whanger s at bar-rooms,
Washington correspondents, ct id genus onane,
should indulge in these silly, e~xtravagant, and
notoriously fictitious diatribes against the Chief
Magistrate of the country, is only a matter of
course. But when we find grave Legislators de-
seending to the same lowsystem of defamation,
and attempting to give character and elevation
rancorous and malignant abuse, it is proper
that we should call the attention of the people
to such conduct and stigmatize it asst deserves.
It is in the highest degree creditable to the
friends of the Administration, and to the jour
mails which uphold and defend them, thas they
have not retaliated in the some spirit upon the
leaders of the opposition, though retorts in
abundance were cogent and at hand. But
most particularly have the forbearanee, the re-
lenting nature, and the magnanimity of 'Presi-
dent BUCHANAN himself been manifested in
restraining his more Jealous friends from over
whelming his personal assailants with proofs
of the regeneration, the inconsistencies and
the Interested motives of the latter In this
respect the course of the President stands out
in marked and noble contrast to that Of the
factious aspiraHts who prompt, countenance,
andseyen directly utter the most atroeious and
indefensibie accusations against his principles
and his Observation-Disclosures Consti-
tutioH.

An unrortuuate d%iffttuity In the Conven.
sion at Mansfield.

NJ
~ siOn RG Mansfield.
BY the official proceedings of the Senatorial
Convention, which assembled at Mansfield ON
Wednesday, forthe purpose of placing in nom
ination . candidate to be supported by the Dem
ocratic party of this District for Senator, it will
be observed that at a certain stage of the pro-
ceedings, the Ashland delegation withdrew
from the Convention: The address of the Sc
ceding delegates will. be. found in our columns.
We do not propose to- comment upon this
unpleasant subject this week. Another weeks
reflection may bring improved tempers and
c~ounsels. We fervently hope so, because. any
thing having q tendency to produce distraction
nthe Democratic party, is always a serious
damage to the best interests of the country
Let Us, then, forget. men and all private griefs
and regard only the welfare of our party and our
country. With the hope and the assurance
thatethe Central Committees of the two coun-
ties viii take such action in the premises as
win accomplish the restoration OF that harmony
which is demanded by the public welfare, We
forbear further remark at this time. @

Some four weeks ago Louis Laclere, was Bit
ten on the arm and wrist by a dog. About
four days ago, the first symptoms of the horri-
BILE malady he feared began to present them
selves. The best remedial measures were at
once studiously adopted in his behalf. Despite
these he steadily grew worse, For the most
part entirely conscious of his condition, he
gradually became the helpless prey of a series
of spasms, which hopelessly increased in inten-
sity and frequency. His agonies were as ifan
internal fire was consuming him. In calmer
intervals, when water could be offered him, he
would snatch the dipper and ~greedily gulp the
draught, upon which a spasmodic closure of
the CLOTHS and a sense of mortal strangulation
as in lock-jaw, would attack him and bring on
the 6ercest features of madness. He would
start violently and snappingly at the bystand7
ers, giving vent with horrible contortured fea-
lures to noises resembling those of a furious
dog The spectacle is described as heart-ren-
ding and shocking in the extreme.
At his request, a priest of the church of st.
Vincent was called to receive his con %fession,
and administer the rights of absolution to the
dying. For this, it was requisite that the
priest should be alone with the victim. The
clerical task demanded unusual courage. The
patient being cautiously secured, a milder Pc
Rod of his torture was chosen, and the rever-
end gentleman safely performed his duty
The paroxysms returned and continued with
little relief until Sunday night, when the mis-
cradle man was cured by death. He now

The Republicans held their mass meeting at
the Town Hall on Wednesday. The crowd,
with the exception of the Bands, YVES beggarly
enough. A.procession, consisting of a horse
and buggy and two men followed the Savan-
nah band to the margin of town, when they
switched OFF, into an alley, and gave the street
to the musicians. 5
The Speaker was Capt. FORD. His chief
theme was the progress of the country-omit-
ting to state that all our progress had been un-
der the auspices of the Democratic party. For
political uses, the speech was as much of a fail
ure as the numbers in attendance.

Tho only way to step the internal whining of
Northern ALotiOnists is to cut off the supplies
which they grow fat. Let us trade at home, eat
and drink at home, travel for business and pleas
ure in the South; learn to supply each 'other's
wants and to rely on ourselves and our section !;
keep our patronage and produce, as far may
be. among ourselves, and soon the voice of Aboli-
ton will cease. not only along the busy mart but
religion of a yankee slave stealing fanatic all
dwindles into contemplate insignfcance when
you touch the brecches pocket. But they have
so,Tn and they will reap-they are already reaping
I've commend the following from the Charlotte
Rulletin to the prayertM consideration of busi
i less men North. The thing begins to tell:
s Non -Imtercourse-S Suspension Of Trade.--We OBJ
serve that several of our Southern exchanges are
discussing the propriety, Editoriay and through
contributions from their Correspondents, of carry
ing out g n-intercourse policy between the Mer
thitnts of the South and Importers and JObbers at
4he North, suspending entirely the trade that has
been carried between the Commercial and
MerchantiIe communities of the two sections.
I'VE believe that there is wisdom in this line of
polcy and that if the proposition is sustained and
strict non-intercourse observed, it will be produc-
tive of incalculable good to the South.
IIDn Wednesday last one of the most prominent
business of Charlotte, who had been called
im by All agent OF q New Ork House, remarked
hat, it his impression he had made out his
last bill for Goods in the New York market
hat it was very probable he would hereafter
make his purchases in Baltimore or farther
South.
.In reply to the above expressions of an opinion,
tile Agent remarked that he had discovered that
many Merchants throughout the South had come
toa similar determination and that if that line of
policy should be adopted generally throughout the
Soufhern and Western States, it would produce a
GREAT clauUe the conduct and sentiment of the
people of the North-that it would undoubtedly
bring about a reaction, and cause more healthy
Sentiment than could be effected by any other line
of policy.
kWe hesitate not to express our opinion that it
is under existing circumstances, absolutely right
and indispensaby necessary that every eommu-
fniy throughout the South should promptly eject
these Northern Drummers who are flooding the
south unless they are well known and vouched
or by some more of our leading Merchants
Or gentleman of character and position. The peo-

WHERE ARE THEY ?-The Richmond Dispatch
has the following paragraph. We fear it calls in
vain for Northern Conseryatists-there are few
of them left:
The eXtravagant rumors which set afoat
suggested by the course of Northern people,
and their sympathies with the outlaws who haNe
murdered our citizens. They have one good Ell
tect-they at least show with what readiness
people respond to the calls of the constituted au-
thorites in the hour of danger 1t is for the
North to consider seriously how far a Staue of
this Union is to be disturbed, and the lives of its
people threatened by the schemes and mad ap-
peals of the people in their midst 1t is for the
North to consider now how much the Union is
worth, and whether it can continue in the face Of
these outrages. I lie soberest and most conserv-
ative citizens of Virginia have come to regard it
of no value at all, if these things to con-
tinue. Let the Northern conservatives show
their hands. They have been talked of long
enough. 1t is time they had done something to
prove their loyalty to the Union.
