Tho False Pretexts

'F1pc Carksville Crenn) Chronicle, ain fnfiu-
entiul Union paper, says:
The position assumed by the disuniou organs,
that the personal liberty bills pissed by ten Of
the Northern States, is the sole cause of the
present excitement at the South, cannot be
sustained by facts. Those notification laws
were passed long before Lincoln was nominat-
ed, and nothing was said about secession be-
cause of those laws until the fire-t aters resoiS-
cd to make desperate effort to dissolve the
Union and even after this resolution was
formed, the alternative of Union or Dismion
was not made to turn upon the election or de-
feat of Black Republican. But whether the
one or the other be the true pretext, the South
is bound, in honor, by its own act, to- submit
to the election of Lincoln. The Secossionists
put up candidate against Lincoln. and that
act bound them to abide, in good faith, the re-
suit of the election but, in failing to do SO,
they disgra ce themselves much as the man
who CANDLES for money with the predetermina-
tion to take the money if he wins, and cot to
pay il he loses Before the game began was
the time to- seccde.

A New Breed Of Sheep.

O.
A report has lately been gTaie .to, the So
new breed of sheep, or at least animals re-
sembling sheep, except in size, found in coun-
tries adjacent to the Punjarb. The animals
are called Purik Sheep. and the most di
minutive of the owls family, the full grown
ones being not larger than laml,s Of few
weeks old The PqriE Sheep has small bones.
a fiesliy csfrease, ;tnd the muttor is ezecAcHtS
and yields three POUNDS year of very fine
wocii The ewes generally give two lambs q
yeats The gfeat stlssHtagc of this over other
breeds is its afofnesti< fhabits--liying around
the cottages as quiet as d house dog and lced-
ing upon all sorts of!waste garbage. sefAps Of
fruit. vegetables, crumbs of bread. shreds thatS
are frequently wasted eating them from tho
hands of any one who offers. 1t is thougtst
that the Purill Sheep would be suited to- the
climate of England and exactly adapted TO tho
wants of many cottag,rs If SO, it would aEso
suit many in this country. 1t would be a
great object TO get ain animal to consume the
Kitchen garbage, less objectionable than tho
hog aFHl the flesh of which woIftt as'rd n
more wholesome food to the common peoPfe,'
too many OF whom live, SO far as B4eaz is Corr
cerned, almost exclusively upon pork.
It is supposed that this kind oil sheep would

would be particularly fond and we approve
anything that would he likely to tss-plaee

From the Frankfort Ycomanthe organ the sBreck-
inrIige Clique, at the Capital of Kentucky.
We have heretofore said that the election Of
lincoln to the Presidency would not, of itself
be cause for secession or a dissolution of the
Union, and our opinion remains unchaLgcd-
We think the South should giUe Lincoln S ad-
ministrdtion a .fttir trial, at the ssffte time
holding it to rigid accountability for its acts,
aud holding itself ready to resist any Hncon-
stitutional aggression upon Southern fights.
Kentucky has, perhaps, suffered more from
Northern fhnaticism than any or all of the
other States combined. Her, losses of slave
property have been heavy, and some of the
Northern States have nullified the fugitive
slave law, and at least one of them refused to
surrender a fugitive from Justice upoD the de
mand Of our Executive charged with the crime
OF entcing slave to escape from its owner
We are entitled to the protection and en-
forcer1eft Of our constitutional rights within
the Union. We abate not jot or title of
our claim to the recognition and enforcement
of our just rights and onr equality as State
of the Union, as embodied in the pla forn of
our party, and we believe that the line of pol
icy advocated by the Democratic party is the
Union-bot IRE can sec reason for changing
our opinion Hat The election Of Lincoln under
the forms Of the Constitution, g6onls Of as:y
no capsc for d,memJermc,a Of the con.fe lerq-
cy. Both branches of the ne&t Congress will
be opposed TO his adminisi ration. We have
the SupreWe Court and its decision in our ia
vor. These will hold Mr. Lincoln in check,
until we can make another appeal to the sense
of Justice of the North to guaranty our con-
stitutional rights,
If Mr.. Lincoln is irrbued in any degree with
a spirit of conservatism, he will doubtless
manifest it, if lie desires to preserve the har-
mony Of the country. II he is radical, the
element of the nation can doubt
less be rallied aud united in opposition to his
In any event it is more than
probable, that upon the distribution Of the
offices, his party will fall to pieces and be
driven from power May we not, then, hope
that we shall at last secure our constitutional
rights at the hands of the people and is it not
the part of patriotism TO at least give even the
of Lincoln-much as we may
deplore his success, and fearful as we may be
of the result-a fair and impartial triSl? H'
The election Of Lincoln, altheogh not sui,
ficient cause for revolution, is nevertheless
wrong both in spirit and principle The sec
tona vote by which he was chosen and the
principles upon which he WAS elected are
wrong and aggressive upon the South, and in
to his assuming the regns Of gov
crnment we give allegiance, not to him nor to
his principles which we shall continue to op-
pose but to tbe Constitution.

South, that it woud lead to the certain crush

South Carolina herself.
ANOTHER VIEw-A great nsany influential
persons in the North are for allowing the Cot

favor of it, to quietly and peacefully secede
from the Union. The New York Tribune
favors this idea. in the following language
