Doughfacs Sentiment.

Under this title. the Baltimore Patriot
has an article regulating and ridiculine
the " Union Saving /" meetings that are
on foot in some Northern cities. Hear it:
We perceive that the Locofoco Dough
faces in Boston. New York and Phila-
delphia, propose holding meetings for
the purpose Of apPeasing the wrath, Of
DisuHionists in the South, at the recent
exhibitions of foolish sentimentalism for
John Brown by handful. here and
there, of Abolition Disunionists in these
cities. f--s-f ..-.r- d. ~.
If there he any character in the world
that we have a contempt for. it is the
dirt eating Doughface of the Free States.
He has no real regard whatever for the
South and its institutions, and yet,
under pretenee Of sympathy for them. he
will proclaim himself our friend, keep
ing his eyes steadily all the while upon
the pscEnia-y benefit to be derived there
from. He will do anything that South
ern fire eaters win require of him, even
to licking the very dust off their shoes;
and though these partizans are perfectly
aware of his hypocrisy, yet, strange to
say. they affect to be grati6ed at the ex-
hibition. u e +l
Pretty emphatic, isn't it? But the Pat
riot goes on:
They 1.-THE South are not to be de-
ceived abont the real sentiments of the
people of the Free States about slavery,
and they don't want any Northern or
Western man to eat dirt to please them.
They don't ask any such degradation
What they want is the vote Of the North
ern and Western Opposition. by what
ever name they may call themselves, for
conservative Presidential ticket next
fall As to slavery in Maryland, they
can take care of that themselves, and as
they hold opinions about that Institution
contrary to those entertained by people
in the Free States, they don't require of
those people as prelude to g political
union in the next Presidential election.
the surrender of their manhood, or the
profession of lie on their lips about
slavery. @
They may talk against it till dooms
day, and Maryland will not care; but
whenever any John Brown shall attempt
an inroad into her borders, she is amply
able to take care not only of herself and
her slaves, but also of her invaders. and
that, too, not Ia Wise.

Wholesale Truths.

Slavery agitation was ever to the Dem
ocratic party the breath Of life. This,
as the q. S. Philadelphia Gazette says,
was the spirit in which the Missouri
compromise was repealed by Mr.. Doug
las and his followers. Nothing had oc-
CURED to Justify departure from the
" fnali;y" of 1850. The country had
aequieseed and there was q calm and
conientmeht when this thunder-clap
burst from clear sky. The Democratic
party which came in power in 1858 up
on the strength of the compromise, was
the very party which profaned the sane
tity of another and opened the Pando-
ra'S box from which so many evils have
escaped and been scattered over the I'm.
ion. Discord and strife and sectional
sntagnnism have followed ever since
Kansas was the natural fruit Of this dead
sea, the bitterness Of which so many lips
have tasted, and all the connections aud
bad feelings of this day may be distinctly
tracel back to that one act of fragrant
wrong and of criminal FERTILITY. 1t was
wickedly and wantonly done. without .
protenss of provocation. and with no
other prompting than a morbid and sell
fish ambition. But the chief instrument
Of that wrong was put aside at the very
time when he. like Tuntalus. saw the en-
ticing attraction within reach. The pub
lie mind at the North rebelled at the vio-
lation Of the old and frntsrnal bond OF
perce. aud Mr.. Buchanan was nominated
and elected President. from condolences
in his moderation and experience. and .
belief that his Administration, like that
of Mr.. Monroe. would restore the "sra
of good feeling. . .'-I r rssl-.-t
The country knows what has happen.
ed during the last two years Of intensified
sectional domination and aggravAtion, and
by what means the present sad condition
of things has been brought about. ~
At no time in our " hole history has
the state of feeling between the North and
the South been more exssperstsd than
now, and produced by causes which are
as clear as the sun at noontide-PreAtiee.

SOUTH CAROLINA.
Declaration Of Independence.


When. in the course Of human events
it becomes necessary for our people Il
dissolve the political bands which have ce
mentej them with another. and to assume
among the powers Of the earth. the seaa
rate and equal station to which the law,
Of Nature and Natures God eutitle them
decent respect for the opinions Of man
kind requires that they should declare the
causes which impel them to the Separs-
ton.
There is in this confederation Of States,
q certain portion Of them callel free Sia.os
the people Of which hold as selfevident
truths. the sntiquatel, obsolete, and her.
etical principles that all men are created
equal that they are endowed by their
Creator with certain indliensbIe rights ;
that among them are life, liberty. and the
pursuit of happiness. These so-callsd
free States are attempting to force upon
the chivalric States of the South, the obi
GUS principles sustained by Washington.
Jefferson, Hancock, Rutledge, and other
rebels, to the destruction of the humane
and patriarchal domestic institutions of
the South.
From all time we have enjoyed the
right aud privilege of extending AMI es-
tablishing slavery. Of these rights and
privileges the free States deprive US, and
also Of the right to manufacture, use and
sell the products of this sacred institution.
We hold it to be self-evident truth
that our fathers before us, and ourselves
and chivalric sons, have done and are now
doing, all that can be done to whiten the
African race and ameliorate their color;
but if God has ordered it otherwise, it Is
not our fault, and it is our inalienable
right to have said Africans in the pursuit
of life, liberty and happiness, as bnodmen
and women, with all the rights, privil-
eyes and appurtenances belonging there
to.
We, therefore, representatives Of the
Kingdom of South Carolina. in Parli
ment assembled, appealing to the Supreme
Judges of the tswny race for the recti-
tnde OF our acts and intention, DO. in the
name and by the authority OF the good
people of this Kingdom, solemnly pub
lish aud declare that the State of South
Carolina does hereby dissolve all politi
cal anil social connection with the so-call-
Ell free States. and will hencelorth, as the
Kingdom of South Carolina, take sta
ton among the nations of the earth, AMI
call upon all the States of the South
which have suffered like expressions, to
follow South Carolina in this National
Declaration. for the support of which,
with firm reliance on the protection OF
the Divine Judges of the tawny race.

The Chiriuui ANTIQUITIES.

The last arrival from Chiriqui brought
down about thirty thousand dollars of
gold images from the Indian huacas, of
a quality equal to the best yet received,
the majority Of which had already been
disposed of at twenty dollars per ounce.
1t is probable that during the dry season
which has now set in. many more huacas
will be discovered, but it can hardly be
expected that many discoveries will be
made after the present season. as during
that time the entire country is likely to
be examined. Little historical informa
ton. however. can be expected from the
class of persons engaged in the grave
diggings. as they go there, not for the
sake of research, but purely with the OBJ
ject of getting gold; and unless scientific
men are sent to investigate the subject,
little If any information is likely to be
thrown on the origin of these antiquities
or the race of people whose remains are
buried with them. This should not be
so. 1t is rarely that such an opportunity
offers for throwing light on generation
that has passed away centuries ago, and
whose works give evidence of an ad
vanced state of civilization, although the
world appears ignorant Of even their ex
istence. v,5... ,r....-.
