Yanccy arrived here today. An immcncc
aud enthusiastic crowd headed by the Ma
rine Band" scrcnadcd him this evening"
In response to frequent calls, Mr.. Yancoy
appeared and made handsome reply He
spoke most eloqucutly and advocated disunion
in the event Of Lincolns election He said
the Union was in the har,ls of the Northern
anti Linconitrs, who could prevent dsunon
by Il fusion for l.incom's defeat Mr. Yanccy
concluded by saying that if the Northern sec
tional majority disrcgarded the checks and
limitations of the Constitution, Southern free
men would plant the banner of equality upon
the mountains Of Georgia, aud cntrench them
selves in Southern Confcdcracy; but he
hoped that timely fusion would avert such
dire evils.

The SENTIMENT OF TIE SrATE-We
have rarely seen more unanimty of political
sentiment than now exists in this State-
This wo CLEAN from replies of candidates for
the Legislature, speeches and letters from our
Representatives in Congress, and from the
leading articles of the public journals There
are not two parties now in South Carolina,
nor will there be in the contingency of the
election of Black Republican President =
all, with very few exceptions, will then be
in favor of the formation of Southern Con
federacy. We believe the same determine
tion exists in nearly all the Cotton States, and
the prospect is fair for thorough union
among them, in adopting measures for their
security and safety Cotumbia Guardian.

anti in this city-the .Jefersonion-t takes
considerable pains to suppress the Wickliffs
resolution, which was adopted Immediately
after the nomination of Mr.. Douglas, and
made part of the platform. What does
this mean? Do the Douglas leaders fear to
let their followers see the platform on which
their candidate is placed? Do they want to
play off fraud on the people by running a
man on slave code platform. and keeping
the most Objectionable portion of the plat
form concealed? Let us hear from you,
Bro. Culley, on this resolution Of your
platform, that you so studiously keep from
the eyes of your readers:

der, thai Lincoln had, when member Of
Congress. voted against supplies for the
army In Mexico" This SANDER was uttered
in answer to the question, How did Lin
coin vote in the lime OF the Mexican war"
Lane answered:
I'm tell you. While your humble ser
want was having his arm almost shattered
TO pieces, and while other good soldiers Of
this State were battling 10 defense of Your
country's honor, our friend Lincoln was
over in Washington voting against supplies
for the army
Douglas answered this question different
" in tie great Illinois debate between him
self and Lincoln in 1858. On page $50 of
the report of that debate. We find Senator
Douglas making this candid admission
IL never charged him with voting against
the supplies. because l knew that he was
not in Congress when they were voted
The war was commenced on the 18th day
Of May, 1876. and on that day we appro-
priated in Congress ten millions OF dollars
and fifty thousand men to prosecute it
During the same session We voted more
men and more money. SO that, by the time
Mr. Lincoln entered Congress. We had
enough men and enough money to carry on
the war, and had no occasion to vote for
any more"
This clears Lincoln Of the false charge
Lane has trnmped up against him, and un-
less Lane does not read the current litera-
,ure of the day, and especially that relative
to national politics, he could not be ignorant
that what he was saying was unsounded.
