NORTHERN DEMocaAcY.-The New York
News, a Democratic paper, frankly svows
the existence Of abolitionism in the Demo-
cratic organization of that State. In IFS issue
for Monday, it says:
The FIST great traitor,who divided our par.
ty was one of our own ilthber, and one, too,
whom we had for secosnized as a lea
der. He boldly and recklessly led a moiety
of our party in 1858 away from the land,
marks of our organization and away fro n the,
principles our fathers had taught us in regard
TO the territorial question. and made them
quasi abolitionists. Out Of them and by them
sras founded the present Republican party
The county of Preston King, st. Lawrence,
was. before that detection, one Of the strong
holds of Democracy. and now it is the strong
hold of Abolition Republicanism in our State.
In '49 we tried a compromise. We tried to
patch up a union. But We took back these
men without repentance. They brought with
them the heresy Of AS, ana infused the poi
son deeper IN our very vitals. Sc has it been
in the four other reunions since. The Will
cling to the same doctrines in regard to sla-
very in the territories. Their sympathies
are as they were in '4s. Our reunions have
not been on prlnc%iple--they have been Of no
real benefit to us in our State. On the con-
trary they have greatly injured us. Had we
never received into our ranks again the trail
tors of '4s, New York State, ike New York
city, would have been DEMOCRATIC in SO, and
New York State. like New York city, would
be Democratic at this time.

To OUR SOUTHERN ExcHAseEs.-At the
present suspicious moment, when the South
crn section of the Confederacy should put
forth her best energies for the development
of her own resources. we respectfully sug-
gested to the conductors of the Southern
press the proprietv of adopting the following
as an invariabie rule. Never to notice favor
ably any Southern book or pamphlet when
there is reason for believing that it was is
sued from a Northern printing office. We
have adopted this rule: and acted upon it for
some time, and have given the cold shoulder
to several catalogues Of Southern institutions
because they bore the imprint of some North
ern ofice.-GreenviM Is. CO. Patriot.
The above is the correct method of treat
ing all such publications. 1t should be the
duty of the Southern press to expose all pab-
locations from the North, which in the least
tend to injure cur home institutions. Let the
matter'be properly attended to by the news-
paper fraternity, and in a short time OUT
State will be released of those illusions

Memphis Bulletin, Of the 9th inst: has the

EXCITEMENT AT NAPOLEON, he
Memphis Bulletin, Of the 9th inst: has the
follow ing:
We learn that the citizens Of Napoleon
have lately been thrown into intense excite
ment by the discovery Of a plot aimed at the
ultimate destruction of the place from the
action of the current of the Arkansas river.
The town itself. as many of our readers are
aware, is situated on a sort of peninsula at
the junction of the Mississippi and Arkansas
rivers. For a distance of seversl miles in
the rear. a narrow strip Of land, about four
hundred yards in width, separates tn" two
rivers. and connects the town with the main
shore. 1t seems that within a few weeks
past a train of powder has been placed across
this neck or slip Of land. and that on Nom
day night last a match was applied, causing
a terrific explosion, which tore UP the earth
TO such an extent as TO permit the waters of
the Arkansas to 1ass entirely across and
empty into the Mississippi. Tae result has
already been the introduction of a strong
current through the pass thus formed, which
is rapidly widening and deepening, and
threatening to insolate the town entirely from
the main land. and at no very distant day
sweep it entirely away. What evil disposed
person perpetrattd the act is unknown, but
suspicion is said to attach to a planter resld-
ing in the vicinity, whose property would be
greatly benefited by the change.

For SAM Housrox FOR PREs'DENr.-The
Little Rock (Ark.l Gazette and Democrat,
the organ of the opposition Of that State,
declares in favor of General. Ex-senator
and Governor Sam Houston. of Texas. as the
candidate which the times demand for Pres
ident Of the United States: and the only can
dilate that is capable of meeting the exigen-
cies that have arisen in the country. 1t
therefore cordially endorses the nomination
of the old Hero Of Sau Jacinto by the peo-
pie of Texas. Indeed, our Little Rock CO.
temporary takes some credit to itself for
having nominated the old General previously
on its own hook. The Texan veteran has
some eccentr cities. it must be admitted, but
he is unden,ably as true as steel to the inter-
ests Of his country. to the Constitution and
the Union. and the people might go farther
and fare worse in seeking a suitable candi-
date for the white house.-Er.
