Whenever man loses all good repute at home,
that moment he finds a hearty sympathy in the
President. Wades6oro' argus
Are you STAKEHOLDER, Mr.. Argus? Are you in.
terested in slave property and are you anxious for
the protection Of the constitutional rights Of the
slaveholding States? If so, then you ought to
thank Mr.. Buchanan for having singled out and
honored those in the free States who have fallen
under black Republican maiorities. Toucey, Cass,
Petit Jones, Dodge j. CLANCY Jones were all de-
feated by the deadly enemies Of the South-by your
enemies, provided it be true that you at heart
Southern man. and yet, in the blindness of your
party rage and in your anxiety to cooperate with
the Opposition" forces of the North you denounce
Mr. Buchanan for promoting these men. A man
closes all good repute at home" in your estimation,
because he contends for the Constitutional rights of
the South and falls in the struggle! You have
said it. Mr. Argus, and you cannot explain it away.
What do you think of yourself? A pretty expo
nent are you, Sir, of the views and sentiments of
the slaveholding County of Anson-one of the larg-
est cotton growing Counties of the State Is that
your modern Whiggery :. Does Gen. Dockery back
you in it Z? There portions of Mr. Gilmer's Dis
trict in which such views will be 'rolled as sweet
morsel under the tongue"-but such sentiments are
foreign to the soil of Anson.
It is rumored that Mr. Buchanan has appointed
the Hon. W. D. Bishop of Connecticut Commits
sioner of Patents in place of Mr.. Holt, lately ap-
pointed Postmaster General. We trust the rumor
may prove true. Mr. Bishop is another one of those
Northern Democrats who have lost "good repute at
home" by standing up for Southern rights. He
was recently defeated for Congress by black Re-
publican. The marlborough Argus no duobt says
amen to that; and it would still follow up Bishop,
it follows up Cass, Toucey, and Others and pour
upon him the walls of its wrath. 1t cannot bear to
see Northern Democrat true to the South 1t is
bad enough to be black Republican, but it is
worse in Southern to sympathize with black
Republicans, and to do their dirty work for them in
the South by reviling Mr.. Buchanan and those true
men North whom he so properly, so generously,
and so justly promotes.
Since the above was written we have found the fol-
lowing IN the Washington Union:
"APPoINTMENr BY THE PREsIDENr-Hon. William
d. Bishop of Connecticut to be Commissioner of
! Patents"
You dislike that, do you, Mr.. Argus? We like
it. 1t is one of the best appointments "old Buck
has yet made. Mr.. Bishop is eminently qualified
for the place; but the best of it is the President
has honored another sound national Democrat who
has just been struck down by the black Republicans
