Beside that oakcn door.

The True Issuein III. Presidential Campaign.

The True Issuein the residential Campaign.
The country is now on -" verge OF the
most dangerous crisis in its histoI, 1ouhg,
vigorous and prosperous beyond para. IN
the worlds history, daily expanding its ter.
tory, increasing its population and multiply
ing its resources, the republic, to the external
observer, presents most magnificent example
to the benefits of her institutions, cherished
and supported by "a happy, industrious, patri-
otio AID united people. But beneath. this fair
outside there iurksa hidden danger which
threatens, before many years have passed away,
to overthrow the fabric, and bury in its ruins
the Liberties so dearly earned with the blood
of our ancestors.
1t would be idle to deny that in the present
position of our political affairs the dissolu-
tion of the confedcracy is more than proba-
bic. The country is on the eve of that great
strugglc-that sectional conflict which was in
itiutcd by the old fashioned abolitionists twcn-
ty-fvc years ago, and tho first fruits of which
was pFedicted by Mr.. Calhoun Immediately
before he died. That accomplished and far
seeing statesmen declared that the antislavcry
agitation, which had already divided the Bap-
tst, the Methodist and Presbyterian churches,
would in due course of time break up all tho
political parties of the day And we find that
this question did divide aud ruin the old whig
party, That it Killed tho Know Nothing or
American Organization, and that now it has
given the death blow to the once powerful and
we'll drilled democratic party. The democrat
ic party has ceased to exist. There arc DOW
two great sectional partisan organizations in
the United States-thc one Southern party,

in which W. ". Hanson, Cashier of the
Farmers Bank, lost his life at the hands Of
o, Static, editor of the Telegraph, He says:
Some weeks since. an interchange of news
paper communications took place between
the parties relative to some structures of the
former upon the public acts of the Trustees
of the town, of which body Mr.. I'll. was a
member These articles were concluded bJ
one from Sir. f., about two weeks ago, in
which he declared himself satisfied. 10 this
8Ir. S. made no reply thereby nan Testing a
disposition to let the matter drop, ard the APP
prehensionsof the public were allayed in re-
gard to it. Both the parties have since attended
to their usual duties, neither seeming disposed
to ointerrupt the other, until Saturday last taoout
II o'clock, as Mr. S. was coming down the
street from the post-ofice, Mr. IT. and one or
two friends being seated upon the opposite
side of the streeton the steps leading into the
Bank one of them remarked, Hanson, here
comes your man. Upon this, Mr. H. arose
and replied-'.W I'll go across the street,
and I'll bet you he takes down the cross
street" Suiting the action to the word, he
crossed the street, and took his position on
the pavement Immediately in front of Messrs.
Stuart & Layers store. Mr. Static came on
down, and as he went to pass BY FL. gave him
blow with his fist. Upon this Static retreat-
ed a few steps drew a Colts FIVE shooter and
fred. Mr.. a. continuing to advance, Mr..
St4ite kept mp the FIRE until II. fell, having
received two shots lone in the thigh and the
other in the abdomen, Static surrendered
himself to the sheriff, was examined before a
magistrate, and admitted 10 bail for his APP
pearance at the next Court, the bail being
fixed at 81, ,00O. which was promptly given.
