Hauling Down Sectional Flag
and Raising a National.

We were much gra,i6cd on opening the Hayne-
vile HatchmaH received yesterday, TO sBd the Con-
stitnIoual Cnion Flag, on which is inscribed the
truly national asuies Of Bell and Everett floating
rom its mast-head. The Hdtc6mon has, .ince the
nomination, s9ppor.ea the Brcckinrdge and Lane
ticket but cannot longer stand the sectional candi-
datos and therefore ahaudous them for the noble
stondard-bearcrs ofonr glorious party. The Watch-
is published IN the heart of the rich and popul
GUS county oIisowndes and gives evidence Of doing
yeoman service in the good cause. We select the
following passage from its leading article Mash.

THE CHARLESTON MERCURY on THE SEcEDERs Tick
The Charleston Mercury, the organ of Southern fire.
eaters denounces the ticket sectional and charac-
terizes it properly as the "tcket Of faction
that has split of from The Democratic party Ultra
as the Mercury is and has heen Breckinrldge and
Lane lead a sectional movement too sectional for
its support Here is what the Mercury says Of the
secession ticket:
The seceders ticket Is respectable in point Of abli
ty and has the additional merit so far as our pres
ent recollection of the past course OF the nominees
serves us OF being entirely safe for the South. Had
il been nominated at Charleston, we should have
been much inclined to advise the voters of the South
of all parties 10 make common cause OF its success
in II straight-out fight with the Republicans. IL
comes to us now though in very different aspect.
IL is the ticket of mere faction that has split of
from the Democratic party, and so Tar Us appears
from the record is without the prestige and credit OF
nationality
Gentlemen from several Northern States partici-
paed in the action of the convention but there was
not one we apprehend, who went there duly ac-
credited by the people at home. II remains TO be
seen whether or not the popular sentiment at the
North will redeem the ticket from the sectional char
acter with which it is ushered TO the country I'm
supported in the North, it is obliged TO do harm by
dividing the anti Republican strength and thereby
rendering certain the election Of Lincoln. II cannot
be elected even should il carry every Southern State
which is not TO be presumed; for while the Demo
cratic vote will be divided with Douglas the Wings
have ticket in the field fully equal to it in its de-
yotion TO the constitutional rights ofthe South and
inmeasuraby its superior in point of ability states
manship, experience, and public service.

Bell and Everett Democratic votersl "The Moni-

three out of five of the Republicans will frankly
say that they would greatly prefer Bell and Everett
to Lincoln and Hamhn if there were any prospect
of electing them. The prospect will be made plain
in less than thirty days We know that if the elec-

BSF~ We commend to the admiration of South
ern Democrats the following faithful picture of the
Democratic party, portrayed by distinguished
Democratic artist. In his speech before the South
Carolina Democratic Convention week Or two ago,
the Hon. r. Barnwell Rhett said
Look, then, sir, at the Democratic party; what
do we see of it? | was at the Charleston Conyen-
ton, and saw there not one single man from the
whole North, who agreed with the South and her
rights; saw there the Squatter Sovereignty DEM
ocrats, who for kicking us out of the terrific
ries now and forever they spread over the whole
North And there stood Pennsylvania and N. Eng
land and N. Jersey, and N. York, and Rhode Island,
and Ohio, and all those States in that part Of the
couatry-all of them thorough going Tariff Demo-
cratic, intent upon plundering you, and cnriching
themselves off your property. And you, yourselves
also see, the whole way from Maine to the Rocky
Mountains one whole band of Internal Improvement
Democrats And what more did see? Why, sir,
saw the whole batch of them in favor of the Home
stead Bill, by which all the territories of the United
States are to be given to emgrants, and emigrnts,
too, FROM THE NORTH.

Druses and Christians, numbering hundreds Of
thousands, are now engaged in wholesale murder,
arson and pillage in which Iendish work they are

The barbarity of the war is truly shocking. Men

TnE DRoUTH.--From various sections of the
country tho papers speak Of a severe drouth, and
express the opinion that in many localities the
crops are seriously damaged portions of this county
are suffering from the same cause, and unless we
have rain in few days, the injury to the corn crop
will be irreparabe. The oats crop, which has been
harvested, is much the heaviest we have had for
several years. From the best information we can
gather, there has not been much more than wheat
enough harvested in the county for seed.-AtheHs
