Last night in front Of the Planters Honse
was enacted one Of tue most Tititul scenes Of
tho campaign. Senator Green, who WAS stop
ping at tho Hotel, it seems was very anxious
to MAX: speech, whcrenpon the stra-2ieEs oi
the Dreckinridze Legion were drumincu out
exactly twenty-six strong, aud marched down
to the Hotel. Cotton Green, one of the SHIN
ing u lights of the Breckenridge party, was
with the Senator, who was in j condition to
need attendance, and as the band approached
hurried sfr Grccn down to the front door just
as the hand had ceased playing their marching
tune, which was called Il scrcnaue, aha NIL
probably he 50 recorded in the official organ
this morning. As III. Green appeared on ~ Luz
stems lic was received with cheer, anu as It was
notsed about who the eaetated speaker Was q
q crowd OF perhaps two hundred and fifty col
lected about the door.
Mr., Green made several witty and strong
points III lis speech, but as whole, it was u-
lit to be published, being 1llled with obscenity
and oaths. lie was interrupted several timcs
by the scrvcnt :irls Of the house, who had col
lcctcd on the balcony above, and were "h't7Ta-
Ing. for Doeg'asr' but upon the entrance Of one
Of the ssle@ion," and complaint being made
to those in charge, twho were not cognizant OF
such interruption}, it WAS siuznedlately stopped.
A party of Douglas men were collected On
the opposite side Of the street: ana tney, IN
their ruwtlyisln, took pleasure In taun1inS the
speaker l,y cheering lor Douglas, when Mr.
Grccn-!Gaator Green, calling them BY the
fuulcst Of names, aycrrcd, with horrid oaah,

Victoria's departure from Brussels, on
her return to England, was delayed for
two days by cold which she caught in
Germany. 1t is striking proof of the
excellence of the constitution Of Queen
Victoria, and of her physical training
and regularity of habit, that during the
twenty-three years she has been on the
British throne, she has never been con /.
fined to her room from sickness for sin

when she has added to the number Of the

To the Editor Of the Standard:
Within the last few days reports haze reached us
from the West, representing that Pool is sweeping
that entire section and that his majority in August
will be overwhelming. 1t is reported that bets
offered upon five and ten thousand majority for him
in the State, and that Democrats refuse to take
them. We of the East cannot believe these things
for the reason that we learn that in the West re-
ports circulated of immense gains for him IN this
section, which we know to be false.
speak sincerely, and seriously, when | tell you
that in this, the LIST district believe that Mr. POOLS
vote will not reach by hundreds, that cast for Smith
in August last, and in this his own county, his ma
jority will he reduced. know of maryland among
them prominent, intelligent, and influential gentle
men, of the Opposition who refuse to sustain him,
while those from side who will vote for him are
very few. / write this only for the purpose of I'M
deceiving those who may heard the statements of
these large gains down here Rest assured, there
is not word of truth in them. Let the people of
the West know that the Democrats Of the East are
true to their standard and that the wretched hum

idly and gloat over the scene of our destruction

What ciu the South doi We hope for the best,
but we fear the worst We fear she will submit.
We fear she will cripple herself by internal feuds
as to be incapable of resistance. We lay no claims
to the power of prophecy, but are dealing seri-
ously with serious matters; and it is our deliberate
opinion that the South will not act in unity, and
that will not resist what it ought to resist with
all its might
and repel the foe or bow her neck to the conquer
or's yoke. She must defend her institutions, pre-.
serve her liberties, and protect her rights or she
must surrender at discretion. These are the only
alternatives. There can be no more "compro-
misses would to God there had never been any!
We have looked to and trusted in the nationality
Of the Democratic party to save the country. We
have confidently regarded it as the bulwark of lib
erty, the conservator of peace and harmony, and
the promoter of prosperity, national happiness and
national glory. Even yet hope fingers like a SHIN
ing spark upon the darkened hearth. We may be
taking too gloomy view-the case may not be so
bad as We think-all may yet he we'll; but We write
as we now feel
And where we to turn for consolation? If
the Democratic party has nationality, what other
party hass Alas! none. There is nothing left for
us to turn to-nothing that We can rely upon
nothing we can trust to. There are good and true
men at the North, almost all in the Democratic
ranks, but they cannot aid u.s. They are power
less The Black Republican maelstroom has drawn
into its voracous jaws large majority of the North
Our friends there only stretch forth their hands
and deplore our fate They can, and will, and do
sympathize with us; and We thank them for it;
but they cannot aid US. 'Henceforth we must rely
upon ourselves-Or yield.
"God save the country" But while we thus
pray, let also act God helps those only who try
to help themselves The days ofmiracles have pass
ed. Passive reliance upon Providence is unavail-
ing-it is snare. "Who would be free himself
must strike the blow" Let the South do her duty
to herself, and she may expect the aid Of higher
ly receive it Until she merits it she will deserve
her fate From our Utmost heart we say God
