FThe Richmond Enquirer, SO long ego
as 1856, two years before Gov. Stewards
Rochester speech-said:
"Iuo opposite and conflicting forms of
society cannot, among ciUiiized men, eoeriSt
and endure. The one must give way and
cease 10 exist-the other become universal.
If free society be unnatural, immoral, and
unchristian, it must fall and give way to
slave soeiety-social system as old as the
world, universal as men.
1t was in his Rochester speech that
Seward advanced the ,''irrepressible con-
flict" doctrine Of the Virginia democratic
organ. They are both wrODg-the people
are discovering this, and intend 10 elect a
man President who will keep Southern and
Northern fanatics in their proper places,
even should score or more of them tread
in the footsteps of old Brown.
ToBAcco.-There is not much activity in
the Tobacco market. Buyers are by no
means anxious TO operate at present prices,
which may be quoted at from $3.50 10
$500, according TO quality. Purchases,
as yet, we believe, are mainly confined 10
purposes. Foreign advices
held out no Inducements TO shippers, and
heir operations will be light, until there is
a letting down in the views of the planters.
We hope all parties will make up their
minds at an early day, as full opening Of
he tobacco trade always relieves string

of civilization. From her position, Mrs. viii.

kindness and courtesy to the early settlers won
their esteem, and none made her acquaintance.

IL HIGH EsrINATIoN-The old story of the
minister who upbraided the few hearers present
for the dereliction Of the absent, finds pareliel
in Southern politicians who rebuke Northern
doughfaces, for the shortcomings of Republi-
cans. The n. Y. Tribune says that Senator
Wigfall of Texas used the following language, a
few days since, in Congress: "These Northern
people Of all parties, are mean, despicable set
of starvelings, unable to see beyond dollar, and
caring for no consideration except money
Threaten them, and they will crouch to your
feet like so many hounds. Only swear that you
are going to dissolve the Union, and the tmid
creatures will get down on al tours, bite the

The Senator applied this language to Northern
Republicans and Democrats indiscriminately

Louisville. Tuesday Anri, 9 lse

LOUISVILLE, Tuesday, April 3, 1860.
The Hon. Cassius NJ. Clay publishes to-day an
appeal to the people of Madison County, against
the Revolutionary Committee of that county,
from whom he escaped announcement by a small
majority last Tuesday, and who were to consider
his case again yesterday. He says he advised
Hanson and his associates to leave that he has
discountenanced the Radicals; but that if the
Republicans are attacked, they will defend them
selves. His appeal embraces a letter signed by
Frank Bland and George HOlley, in which they
say the troubles did not originate about Hanson,
but because George West, who was sick of con-
sumption, was maltreated, and his daughter in
suited with gross language. Mr.. Clay concludes
as follows:
You may be strong enough to overpower
me, but you cannot drive me from the duty
owe to myself, to my friends and to my country
If fall, shall not fall in vain; and it will be
enough for all long-cherished associations, If per.

Ms. EpIroR:-The extraordinary circumstan'
ees connected with our late township election,
seem to demand public notice.
Vevay has for several years past returned Il
handsome Republican majority; but this year
the Democrats have elected every candidate
Now, so far as this has been effected by an ac-
tusl Increase of the party. none have right to
complain. But, the facts in the case, As under
stood by those we'll acquainted with the state oil
the township, will by no means justify the as
| sumption.
However, many Republicans were absent
from the polls, trusting that the cause was safe
but all these things can by no means account tor
the strange disparity. But the scene at the
election, and facts that have since transpired,
are the subject which We would call attention.
