1t assails us from the pulpit, the press,
in the school room. 1t divides all sects
and religions as well as parties. 1t de-
nounces shareholders as degraded by the
lowest immoralities, insults them in every
form, anG holds them up to the scorn of
mankind
1t has already a majority Of the States
under its domination, has infected the
Federal as well as State judiciary, has a
large maj ority Of the House ofRepresenta-
tivcs of the Congress Of the United States,
will soon have, by the new census, ma
iority of the Senate, and before it obtains
the Senate certainly will obtain the
chief Executive power of the United
States.
1t has announced its purpose of total
abolition in the States and every where, as
we'll as Territories and Districts, and 9TH
er places coded. And,
1t has proclaimed an "irrepressible con-
fict" or higher law with the Federal Con-
stitution itself.

main of territory, stretching from sea to
sea, greater than all civilized Europe con-
tains-the glorious fruits of Southern
craftsmanship. We leave it, as our fore
fathers left their union with Great Britain,
after a patience of endurance, which they
would have scorned; and armed like
them, with the mighty consciousness OF
right, more powerful than armies with
banners. The long weary night of our
humiliation, oppression and danger is
passing away, and the glorious dawn Of a
Southern Confederacy breaks on our
view. With the blessing Of God, we will
soon be great pcople-happy, prosper
GUS and free.

Col. JEFF. DAVIS PosITIoN.-Th Hon.
Jefferson Davis, in his speech at Vicl1s-
burg few evenings since, uttered the fol-
lowing:
If Mississippi, in her sovereign capaci-
ty, decides to submit to the rule Of an az
rogant and sectional North, then | will
sit me down as QUE upon whose brow the
brand of infamy and degradation has been
written, and bear my portion of the bit
ter trial. But if, on the other hand, Mis-
sissippi decides to resist the hands that
would tarnish the bright star which rep
rcsents her on the National Flag, then [
will come at your bidding, whether by
day or by night, and pluck that star from
the galaxy, and place it upon banner OF
its own. L will plant it upon the crest Of
battle, and gathering around me the nu-
cleus of Mississippis best and bravest,
will welcome the invader to the harvest
of death; and future generations will
point to small hillocll upon our border.
which will tell the reception with which
the invader met upon our soil.

VIRCINIA-PRocLAMATloN OF GOVERNOR
LETcIIsR.-A Proclamation Of Gov. Let
cher, calling an extra session Of the Leg
islaturc, to meet on the 9TH Of January
next, i, published. He gives, as one of
the REASONS for this action, the sale Of the
James River and Kanawha Canal to a
company of French capitalists; which re-
quires the sanction Of the Legislature to
be rendered perfect. The nextrcason we
give in his own words:
Gard whereas, in consequence Of the
appointment Of electors, Il majority OF
whom arc known to be favorable to the
election of sectional candidates as Presi-
dent of the Unitcn States, whose princi-
pies and views are believed by large
portion of the Southern States to be in
direct hostility to their Constitutional
rights and interests, and in consequence
there of great excitement prevails in the
public mind, and prudence requires that
the representatives of the people of this
Commonwealth should take into consider
alton the condition of public affairs, and
determine calmly and wisely what action
is necessary in this emergency, John
Letcher, Governor, by virtue of the au-
thority aforesaid" &c.

PRoPRIEToRs,
JAMES D. NANCE,
EDITOR.

Newberry District being one of the richest Cotton
Districts in South Carolina, her people are large
consumers of every kind of merchandise. The
C0NSERVATIST, therefore, furnishes one Of the
best mediums in the State for advertisers, SO far
Newberry District is concerned while it enjoys a
fair circulation in the surrounding Districts. The
terms for inserting advertisements certainly as
reasonable as those of any other journal in the
country, especially when it is desired to advertise
by contract.
The C0NSERvATIST numbers among its COR
trbutors gentlemen of the first talent and soundest
political faith. With their assistance, the editor
will endeavor to make his journal an acceptable
and ever welcome family newspaper and 6re-side
companion.
The political character of the paper is of the
strongest States Rights stamp. Believing that the
Constitution under which the Confederacy of the
American States was formed, has been repeatedly
aad grossly violated, and that 'sthe Plantation
States" have been the only sufferers-that the
Union of these Ste es is no longer policy founded
on the principles of right and justice but that the
bond of Union is "the cohesive power of public
plumber the proprietors prefer that their journal
shall rather seem TO be Southern Extremist than
appear an unconditional advocate of the Union at
any price.
TERMS.-The paper will be regularly mailed to
subscribers out of the town of Newberry at the fol-
lowing reasonable rates of subscription:
One COPY per year. $500
Three copies, BOO
Ten COPIES. 1900
Twenty COMES 2500
n The money upon these terms alwaysto b
paid III advance.
No paper will be discontinued until all arrearages
are paid, and No paper mailed until the subscrip-
ton price is receiyed unless at the option of the
proprietors, when the circumstances call for diff
ferent course.
All business communications should be addressed
to the Conservatst, Newberry, S. C." Commu-
nications intended for publication should be ad-
dressed to the editor of the Conservatist.'' =

What Lincoln did not DO.

He voted against sending food and
other supplies to our army in Mexico,
intending thereby to starvc them out
and make them come home.
That is what one Democratic pape.-
the Plain0ealer-says.
Now hear what another Democratic
paper-the Matoon en- Gazctte-says {:
1--WE made the charges against Mr.
Lincoln in relation to voting against sup.
plies, upon the information of an intelli-
gent gentleman, who assured us that the
record stood against him. The political
friends of Mr. Lincoln called our atten-
tion to the record, and upon examination,
we find that instead of Mr.. Lincoln it
was John Henry, of Morgan, who was
his immediate predecessor, who gave the
vote. 1t affords US unfeigned pleasure
to be able to say, upon examination, that
our former fellow citizen gave no such
vote, and further that his REGARD piil

Lincoln Doesn't Desert hi, Principles.

Of WLeatland and the occupant Of the
Presidential Chair, has since his election
to the Chief Magi,tracy, made speeches
warning students againS, drinking spirit
uous liquors, aud gone home to write an
endorsement of some ''primc old rye
1t will be seen by the following paragraph
from the Baltimore Put.,iot that Old Abe
is too honest to desert His principles for
the sake of courtesy:
This morning We met with one OF the
delegates to the late Chicago Convention
who informed us that the Committee who
were appointed to convey to Mr.. Lin
coin the official notice Of his nomination
as their candidate for President, repair

mcnt of tins duty lie states that Mr.
i. resides in comfortable mansion in
the suburbs of the city, and as the Com
mittec proceeded to his residence they
attracted much attention. His neigh
bors, knowing Mr.. Lincoln was strictly
temperance man, at once dispatched their
servants with walters covered with bot
ties of wine, brandy, whiskey, &c, to
enable him to offer what they conceived
was proper to offer these distinguished
guests. Mr.. Lincoln met these servants
who had the charge of these refresh
ments, and requested them to say to his
friends and nci-hborS, that he duly ap-
prcciatcd their kindness, but he could
not consent to violate long established
rule of conduct, and that he should treat
his guests with plentiful draughts of de-
licious and pure ice 'cater.
