sol ThtN "HO>PiTtLiTi" AND DEMOCRACY.
That leading Southern Journal, the Al
hI"tr C eorgia) Contederacy of the 9th
ult, has the following item:

This climate is too hot for AOcltinni'ts.
Our readers will mostly discover in the
victim of thii brutal treatment, DR.. JACOB
HoRLACHER-an inoffeusive citizen Of
New Berlin in Union county-,rho has
spent oil his time and strength .t1r years
past as a coipoHem for Democracy and
.S'arc'y No man in ourregion has labor
ed as hard as be has for that cause. He
has bawlcd on the streets, and peddled his
"Democra'c National Platforms" from
Pennsy lvania 10 Georgia at least, and had
not an Abolition idea in his head when
last here. At the same time he has con-
tended for union, for LrotherLy lore and
clarity between all parts of the Union !;
and it is probable that his condemnations
of Disuuion have been taken for "Ab boil.
ton" at the South. Some think it may
be the lamh (>uggestive of ''free wool, }
he has hedgcd in between the lion and the
wolf on his .Plarform," or that some of
his Scripture texts are unsound, that has
caused his election from the land of love,
supreme happiness, and true christianity
But Modification is the only safe Democ-
racy among some Of the "sunuy chivalry."
This application of Lynch law to a Grip
pied, harmless old man, plainly shows that
those who will crush out all the rights Of
one class of men when they have the pow
er, will not hesitate to trample upon any
others when they can do SO with impunl
ty-a fact which the DR.. and his many
friends we trust will take TO heart, and du-
ly weigh. We hope the DR.. is not injured
in his benevolent efforts to show the holy
and natural alliance of sham Democracy
aud Slavery. His expulsion from the
brave Southrons' coasts is an exploit equal
to the driving of the Yankee schoo-marm
from Sumpterville in S. c., or the shoot
ing of the cow in Charlestown, Va!
EXCITEMENT Two book pedlers, sus-
pected of being abolition emissaries, were
few days since arrested in Enterprise,
Mississippi, brought for trial before the
local authorities, aud acquitted. The re-
suit has created the greatest excitement in
that place. One of the jurymen, John
Cochran, who is merchant and citizen Of
Enterprise, was hung in etiigy, and Judge
on trial, was presented with a petition,
signed BY numbered citizens, requesting
him to resign the office Of Mayor of the
town, which he holds.
q. W. Ees,al, charged with circulating
Helpers book, tried at Chatham county
n. c., last week, was acquitted for want of
evidence.
Rev. Mr.. House, Methodist, has got
himself into trouble in Harrison county,
No, by preaching aboitionism, ard incl
ting slaces to insurrecton-as false y said.
slr. Shaller, German, of Lagrange,
Mo, was recently whipped almost to death,
on suspicion of not being sound on the
slavery question, and left TO perish in the
cold, bat he managed to escape.
rG5'The Legislature having adjourned,
it is DO more than justice to say that the
Senator AMI Representatives of Union
county have this year distinguished them
selves for faithful devotion to her interests.
The Onl y exception we recall is the Rail-
road Bill in which Col. Wagenseller did
not vote and labor as his Union county
friends desired of him. Messrs. Gregg,
Hayes and Wagenselle-, have done US hon
or as our delegates, and deserve the plau-
dts Of their constituents for their general
assiduity and attcutiOn to our wants
sS- Master George W Plumer, of Ty-
roue city, (aged II years. last Monday
evening, lectured on Temperance, in Indc-
pendent Hal. Rev. Dr. Young's audi
eucc was too small to read his poem to,
and We all lost treat...A "Prof."
somebody gave wire-walking exhibition
in town last Tuesday, and is said to have
"diddled' so or sS5 out of our people
for his useless and reckless tricks.
g.s-Our Post Master states that the
published compensation of the Lewisburg
Office is over estimated by one fifth or one
fourth. We know not upon what data
the Tribune writer made out his figures,
but suppose them to be probably relatively
correct.
rn- The " o. Picayunc of the 26,h
ult. states that Rev. T. G. Thornton, d. d.,
the venerable President of Madison Col
ege, Mississippi, died at his residence in
Sharon, on the 22d ult He was the ia
.her of I. A. Ii. Thornton, NJ. D., of Lew.
