the genuine "Ea,d Hards," as they delight to call
themselves, are to be considered and rewarded,
now or hereaher-for, such, we learn, is one of the
leading articles in this proposed reunion. We
doubt not that this is 30, for il always was So In
the freshly remembered reunions of l349, 1852,
1853, 1855 and 1856 (for there have been FIVE for
nal reunions in ten years., Dickinson and bis adj
herents were 10 be considered and rewarded then
or thereafter. The striking peculiarly Of the case
was that these hertafers never came. So often
and go successfully had these cheats been practiced.
and so patiently and so long had the lIards submit
ted to be duped that the Softs, acting cautiously
and clandes,inely for o good while, at length grew
bold and brazen. At the State Convention of last
year, their State Committee, ignoring the existence
of Dickinson and the Hsrds, resolved 10 run" the
party without any aid from that faction. The
chief instrument in this experiment was Mr. Peter
Csgger, the Secretary Of the Committee, gentle
man of keen ssgscity undoubted pluck, singular
modesty, and ferocious Barnburner Of 1S4s.
He called the Convention TO order, nominated
Horatic Seymour for permanent President, in
Quoted him into Office, and, by resolution which
be moved put, and carried, clothed Gov. Seymour
with the power of appointing the eight Vice
Presidents Of the Convention. In the mean
time, Mr.. Cagger decided the question od-hand on
a score or so Of contested seats (his own being one
of the number-modest PeterD and permitted
the Soft delegates from this city to occupy seats, and
vote Oh all motions, while their Hard contestants
we're excluded from the door, and sent, with other
spectators, 10 cool their srdor in the gallery. Mr.
Csgger and the other leaders in this Convention,
who now urging the reunion Of the party on q
satisfactory basis, illustrated, on this occasion,
their jug-hsndle notions Of union, BY not allowing
the name Of single Hard to be placed on the
ticket, carrying matters with 50 high hand that,

We publish this morning paper for the
organization of an anti-Abolition Association
Its sentiment is salutary, its spirit just, its
language that of a true Southron. No North
ern man can deny its business. 1t is a paper
which all Southern men can sign. 1t is one
OF the many plans for meeting the most vexed
and complex question that ever embarrassed
the public mind of the country That We of
the South have been wronged by large Dor
ton OF our JeitoW-eitizsns at the North is true
and that any measure which we can devise
which will terminate all intercourse with
them is justif1able we have no doubt, nor nave
the people of the North. But how to do this
effectuaIly without involving our relations
with the entire North, is ques ton not easy of
solution. The proposition for the association
to which we have referred-i. e., to discrimi-
nate between our friends and our enemies
may curtail our commerce with ayowed abo-
htionists; but then, is it not an easy matter for
those who profess mpathies with the South
TO sell the fabrics of abolitionist mannfactur-
ers Are we doing violence to truth and JUS
tice by surprising that there may be some per-
sons among the large commercial communities
Of the North who are not too honest and
virtuous to do this thingi But, then, let the

A HERoINE.-Mrs. Mary H. Richardson, of
Hampton, Texas, writes to her brother, in
Waynesboro', Tenn, as follows:
On the 4th of September last the Indians
came in among us, and after doing some other
mischief paid me a visit. My husband was
from home on business, and was alone with
my five little children, two miles from any
other house. I sent my two oldest MARY and
John) to drive up the cows, and did not sus-
pect that the Indians were lurking near
They espied the children about three hundred
yards from the house, and chased them to-
wards home, where they fled for protection
and little was the protection that /, alone, a
timid woman. was able to give, against eight
sayases, thirsting for blood and plumber
Mary (the oldest) made good her retreat; but
oh! imagine my feelings, when l saw Them
overhaul little John and begin to stab him
with lance. l was much frightened, and ex-
pected nothing but to be massacred together
with my children. 1 thought of my gun at
that critical moment. 1 took it down and
fired, and kept firing until assistance came to
my relief. The Indians Gas Isuppose) thought
there were men in the house prepared to re-
ceiye them, and fled, and left my child alive,
but severely stabbed in the back, through the
arm, and in the right side. He has recovered
from his wounds.
