SPEECH OF Hon. R. NJ. T. HuNrER.-The speech of
the Hon. R. N. T. Hunter, on the invasion of the
States lately delivered in the United States Senate
says the Austin (Texas) State Gazette, is a calm
and dispassonate review of the past and the present
He shows in broad relief that the South exports
5000, ,OoO,O 900 annually that she pays seven per
cent Of this value in freight bills to the Northern
shipping, and third per cent. on the return car
goes making about $21 OOO 600 paid to the navigat
ing interests of the North Heshows that there are
between three and four millions of Northern labor
ers directly dependent upon the commerce of the
South, and the stoppage Of which would force them
to emgrate from the North or starve. He concludes
his able effort by declaring that if the Union is
wrecked 3y the wild orgies Of madmen and fanatics
that he does not doubt the ability of the South to
throw off yoke doubly accursed and CALLING for
having been laid by hands that ought to be friendly
and to establish for thenselvesa confederacy which
may become and remain great glorious and free
and under whose shadow he may repose in peace
and safety for the remainder Of his days allotted on

The Red Sign of Distress.

The last Register says Mr.. Pool visited Raleigh on
Saturday last "to arrange time and place for fur
ther discussions with Gov. Ellis"
Now this was not the reason, or the only reason
why Mr.. Pool visited Raleigh He held out the
"real sign" of the Order, and uttered the "cry OF
distress" so that his friends might meet him at this
point. Long, of the Patriot and others were call
ed in to prescribe for their brother in the Order.
What was said, what was agreed on we know not.

H- Mr. Chestnut Of South Carolina, in a recent

speech in the Senate. said:
IT the people of New England and Ohio and 9TH
could but understand the true relations of the
Sxts to each other, and of the Federal Government
to The States, that outside of the purposes Of the
Golafnment and beyond the powers expressly emu
rneAAed in the Constitution, they are, in fact, as
foreign to each other are Great Britain and France
and would demean themselves in accordance with
the 1gical results of such belief, peace might be
resto$ed and our system of government, like the
great system above. move harmoniously on, yielding
daily light and life and happiness for ages to come.
But this, fear, may not be.
The idea that there exists irrepressble conflict
between the two systems oe labor prevailing in the
States, is fancfu and superficial No such conflict
exists On the contrary, the two systems mutually
aid each other. There is. however, a confict-a
conflict of ideas irreconcilable. The opinions Of
thss who give life and energy to the antislayery
party touching government, society," the relations of
man to both, and to each other radical and
olutionary. If these prevail there can be no peace,
North or South for they bred in confusion, and
will develop anarchy. These gentlemen seem to
believe that Government may be mprovised-that
it is sort of machinery which is invented can be
patented; and may be made in the same mold to
suit the customers of every cline, whether of Asia,
Africa Europe, or America. They argue as if socie-
ty was the artificial, and not the natural state of
man. Hence, they speak of his natural rights as
matters outside Of and in antagonism to the claims
of society, and of which society deprives him."

CAPIrATIoN TAx.-We understand that Mr.. Pool
and Gov. Ellis both took ground in the discussion
at Nashville, against the abolition Of the captaton
tax on white men. This announcement was the re-
suit of question propounded to Gov. Ellis by Mr..
Pool. So those Opposition speakers who have been
endeavoring to make capital for Mr.. Pool by repre-
sentng him as being in favor of the abolition Of the
poll tax on white citizens, will please take notice
and be governed accordingly.

~ A good many years ago, Thomas
Jefferson wrote to Albert Gallatin as follows
81 think that the officers of the Federal
Government are meddling too much with the
public elections. Will it be best to admonish
them privately or by proclamation?"
In 1916, Gen. Jackson wrote to James
Monroe as follows:
"The Chief Magistrate of a great and
powerful nation should never indulge in party
feelings. His conduct should be liberal and
disnterested, alpays bearing in mind that he
acts for the tohols and not part Of the
community"
Not great while ago, the Washington
Unioa, the accredited organ Of James
Buchanan and the National Democratic party,
issued the following semi official proclamation:
"If there is man in the public service who
does not uoluatarily contribute the amount
of at least two dollars and a half year On
each thousand Isl ,O00) of his salary to support
the cause of Democracy, he should be at once
dismissed, and his place filled by one who is
patriotic and liberal enough to double the
contribution"
If Democracy nowadays is the same that
it was half century ago, there has been a
trihng change in the manner of interpreting
it! Jefferson and jackson didn't have the
light which Jim Buchanan has!

No ELECTION LAws.-The late Legislature
failed to pass either of the several proposed
laws for the prevention of frauds at elections.
The Registry Law failed for the want Of two
Republican votes in the Senate (Rankin's and
Angles )-Auscatine Journal.
We cannot name the Republicans who
objected to the proposed laws, but think Angle
did not. Though majority preferred it, it
was decided auth 'ritatieefy not to pass Scott's
Registry bill, but to substitute for it, as
amended, Wilson's bill for the Purity of
Elections, }" which passed the House two years
ago This was done to secure the votes of a
few timorous grannies who didn't dare to call
their souls their own, and quaked whenever a
Locofoco growled. But it didn't save their
votes, after all, and the Assembly -djourned
without the enactment of single clause to
prevent ballot stufing and all manner Of
frauds at elections If such Legislatures as
the last are not enough to sgust the people,
then they're past disgustin'.-- Vinton Eagle,
Senator Drummond's paper.)

next Monday. Its proceedings will be looked
for with much interest by men Of all parties.
An exchange thinks the Convention will he
organized by appointing Southern man
temporary chairman, and conceding the
permanent place to the North. 1t is much
debated whether the Platform shall be made
before or after the nominations. If Mr..
Hunter is selected, the South will ask nothing
but the Cincinnati Platform, pure and simple
and, should his friends feel confident of
success, they will be willing to adopt it before
balloting. Some embarrassment is appre.
hended from an ultra demonstration by Mr..
Yancey, who will represent the extremists,
and demand platform for the slave coda and
the most radical pro-slavery dogmas. 1t is
understood that Douglas friends will not
advocate the rescission Of the two thirds rule
as at first proposed by them, trusting to the
magnanimity Of many Southern delegates te
come over to his support when they find he
has majority.-Daily 2lst.

None of those completed are yet abandoned

svlt is now pretty we'll ascertained that
the Homestead Bill will be vigorously opposed
in the Senate by the leading Democrats
thereof. Messrs. Mason, Hunter and others
declare that the bill prop ,ses the increase Of
free States, and that the slave States will not
have ghost of chance under its operation.
Those gentlemen are partly right. Slavery
can only flourish where the wealthy few have
a monopoly of the soil. The Homestead Bill
proposes to limit donations to 160 acres to
each person entitled to pre-empt. Slave labor
cannot thrive on small farms, and therefore il
is not at all strange that the Democracy desire
the defeat of the Homestead Bill. Will the
people bear these facts in mind?
