A Southern Family Newspaper.

The Southern Field and FIreside an agricultu-
raj and literary weekly paper published in Augusta
Georgia, by Col James Gardner, is really read
able and more valuable than any paper of similar
character published in the non-saveholding States.
1t is large well printed filled with interesting mat

tons. The price is 50 per annum. Those who
wish to subscribe can address Col. James Gardner,

best citizens of that State
Bonner, who prints the Ledger, and pockets thou
sands of Southern dollars for his sentimental and
exciting trash, has never been the man to utter one
word in behalf of our Constitutional rights; while
Harper's Weekly, Judging it by some of its recent
Editorials, is little better than an out and out Re-
publican print Let Harper cant against slavery in
the abstract on the strength of Northern dollars
and let Bonner pay for his fast ten thousand dollar
horses out of other than Southern money. Let us
support our own literature our own schools, our
own manufactures and our own mechanics and ar
tizans of all kinds.

Speech by the Vice President.

The Hon. John {. Breckenridge, Vice President
of the United States delivered able speech last
Wednesday at Frankfort, KY, upon national affairs
Mr.. Breckenridge, as preliminary topic, required
to the history of Territorial legislation and justified
his vote in favor of the repeal of the Missouri Com
promise line, and in support of the Kansas-Nebras-
ka bill. The transition thence easy to an in
dorsement of the views of the United States Supreme
Court upon the rights of slavery in the Territories
the bred Scott decision in the eyes of the Vice Pre-
sident representing the full cOnsummate flower of
Southern rights under the Constitution. With that
decision he regarded the Territorial issue settled
The Territories whether North or South of the
erased line, will be peopled by slayehodng or nom
slaveholdng communities, without regard to political
or Federal influences.
In regard to the present condition of national
politics. the tone of the Vice President was despon-
dent The great danger to the Union les he assert
ed, in the existence of Republican party, whose
principles avOwed three years since have long been
abandoned in the heat of ant-slavery feeling, and
others involving direct upon slavery, not only
in the Territories but in the States substituted. To
sustain this charge, Mr.. Breckenridge quoted from
Mr.. Stewards Rochester speech, and from Helpers
Compendium alluded to the Republican approval
of the latter compilations and confessed that he saw
no hope of salvation to the Union, so long as the
Republican organization continued to exist The
only redeemng aspect of Northern society is the
existence of fragments of the old Wing party, 10y
ally devoted to conservative measures In conclu-
sion, Mr.. Breckenridge exhorted the South to keep
itself strictly within Constitutional obligations, and
in that connection denounced the efforts of those
who were laboring for the restoration Of the slave
trade.

Sound Sentiments.

The last Democratic Standard, published in Con-
cord, New Hampshire, says:
But holding meetings uttering patriotic senti-
ments, and expressing devotion to the Union in
acords merely, is of but little account If men go
to those meetings resolve and speak in favor of the
Union, and then go and vote the Republican ticket,
they can expect nothing else but to be treated as
hypocrtes and false pretenders to patriotism they
do not possess Such was the case with many who
attended the late Boston Union meeting. They
went to Faneuil fall, heard Mr. Everetts patriotic
and eloquent speech, avowed themselves friendly to
the Union, and then many of them went straight
way and voted for Lincoln the Republican candidate
for Mayor thus procaming to the world, that their
attachment to their party, and their real abolition
ism stronger than their regard for the Union.
We can assure such men, that such acts will not
win for them the credit of being patriots. Words
will not answer. ActS must follow professions OF
devotion to the Union. This UEion cannot be saved
if the Republican Party is not put down. And
that great work is to be done by UOtes The ballot
box is now and we may say, at all times, and only,
the preServer of the Union. If the Union cannot be
saved by the ballot-box it cannot be by bayonets"

Message of Governor of Neso York

ALBANY, Jan. S.-Governor Morgan, in his mes
sage to-day, says that New York still maintains the
opinions she always held in reference to Slavery
She yields to none of her sister States in devotion
to the Union. She emphatically disavows all SYM
pathy or cooperation with the misguided men who
sought unlawiully to interfere with the institutions
of the sister States. He concludes by referring to
slavery in the States and Territories. Yielding a
cheerful obedience to the doctrine of State sovereign
ty and having no disposition to interfere with the
local institutions of the States he was prepared at
all times to aid those in the protection of the sover-
eign power. The people of New York, while always
enforcing their views in legal, peaceful and consti-
tutional manner will not surrender their right to
participate in the reformation of this or any other
evil in the administration of the national govern
ment, when legislation is necessary.

NORTHERN SCHooLS.-A correspondent of the Rich
mOnd Enquirer addresses this language
"To THE STUDENTS AND PATRONS OF ALL NORTH
ERN SCHOOLs.-l approve of the suggestion of
respondent of the Examiner in relation 20 the medi-
cal students at Northern Medical Colleges, adj
vising them all to come home forthwith to our own
schools, and where they Will be received gratis for
the balance of the present session. We have
good schools as the North and our own patronage
extended 10 them would soon make them popu-
lar In addition to that can get the best men in
the world for professors if we will sustain them
We have supplied the Northern schools with their
most distinguished professors, among them Chap
man, Horner, Dunglison, James B. and Robert f.
Rogers, Gibson and Mutter from Virginia Meigs
from Georgia and Dickson from South Carolina, be-
sides others.
The writer is practitioner Of twenty odd years,
with large practice, and has attended several of
the Northern schools, as well as the University Of
Virginia and the Medical College at Richmond. He
can say candidy and fairly, that all departments of
Medicine are as well taught in Virginia in any of
the Northern schools and he knows some of our
most distinguished and talented physicians who
never did cross Mason Dixon's line. And in rell-
ton to the Northern literary Schools and Colleges,
male and female, there is now a wide difference in
favor of the Southern Schools. Our University is
superior to any College on this continent and it has
already made its impress on all our schools of mi
nor grade. Our teaching is more Thorough, more
complete, more philosophical than that of any of
the Northern schools. Besides Northern society is
daily becoming more and more corrupt, contamina-
ted by the foul and leprous stain of false religion,
which justifies the libertine, the incendiary, the
murderer, the thief and assassin
1t is the duty Of our Legislature to require Ii
cense tax of all professional men hereafter educated
at the North, lawyers, physicians clergymen, teach
ers &c. of at least half of their fees, and to ap
ply the same tax all NorthernerS coming here to
pursue their callings. / have omitted some o. my
reasons; they are so obvious that all intelligent
persons know them"

make successful effort at this session, to get the
Government to locate arsenal for the construction
of arms at Deep sRlver; and bring portion of the
coal and iron at that Locality into practical And
if the United States declines the job, then the
State of North Carolina ought to take it in hand,
and erect an arsenal for purposes peculiarly her

MANUFACToRY OF SHOEs.-There is project on
foot for the establishment of mandatory of shoes
on large scale. We trust it will succeed. The
propretors of the larger part of the lots and land
at Chester, between this City and Petersburg, offer
to give to a company any amount of ground needed
for their purposes, and to take liberal share of the
stock. The enterprise, we are sure, would be sue
cessful and it is one that is peculiarly necessary to
render us Independent of some of the puritanical
villages of New England, which are about the most
perfectly abolitionized towns in that remarkably
fanatical part of the world.-Rich Dispatch.

however, dissented from the statement that the
question OF slavery in the territories was finally set

Judiciary had done all it could to protect slavery in
the Territories, but more legislation was necessary
Messrs. Doolittle and Pugh followed Mr.. Brown
in opposition to farther legislation

s9y- The last Richmond Enquirer says:

ITO the change of Government which the cleo
ton of Black Republican would effect, the South
will never submit; the Constitution recognised
slavery and provided for its protection, and the
South will stand faithful to that Constitution, and
submit to no change therein.
The election of a Black Republican advocate of
the "irreprcssble conflict" will be the withdrawal
of the States supporting such election from the
Union. Such an act would be dissolution of the
Union as formed 10y our forefathers."

DANIEL WORTH ACTING OLD JOHN BRowN.-The
York Times of the 3lst December contains letter
from Daniel Worth, dated "Greensborough Jail, N
c., December 2G, 1859" in which he gives an ac-
count of his trial and Imprisonment and anticipates
the wrath to come" He says he is happy in
prison, and ready to "suffer shame" for the cause
in which he is engaged
We regret that the only legal punishment in his
case is whipping the pillory, and Imprisonment 1t
is better that one man should die than that the
peace and safety of whole communities should be
put in jeopardy. Daniel Worth must know that he
has offended against 10th God and man. No one
can truly "glorify God" by sowing the seeds of in
surrection and servile war. If institutions
did not suit him, why did he return from Indiana
We think the keeper of the Greensborough prison
should see to it that no more of Daniel Worth's
hypocritcal letters, appealing to the abolitiOnists
for sympathy, should be permitted to be sent North
to be published in abolition newspapers.
