We publish in another column a letter from
Joshua R. Giddings to Thomas Ewing, criti-
cising the half Republican and half Pro-Sla-
very speech delivered by that gentleman at
Chilicothe, previous to the election. Mr.. G..
handles the old Salt Boiler without gloves.
Mr.. Ewing is an eleventh hour Republican,
that is, he did not vote for Fremont, and
never supported the Republican ticket until
the unerring signs of the times indicated
that Lincoln would be elected, and then, not
till then, did he give a qualified support to
the Republican party.-LeGder Of this Morn

Political NeMs.

Mondays N. Y. Times has the following
special dispatches from Washington:
Information has been received here that
Gov. Aiken, of South Carolina opposes Sc
cession.
Public sentiment seemst to be settling down
under the idea that Southern States, South
Carolina included, will unite in a demand for
an additional constitutional guaranty, which
il is thought the Free States will cheerfully
grant. A Convention of all the States can
embody a new clause in the Constitution,
securing the Slave States against further agi-
%tation, and fixing a geographical line-per-
haps the old Missouri compromise line be-
tween Free and Slave Territory. Such is the
solution of the difficulty by leading men here
from all sections.
The same paper has the following from
Richmond:
Virginia has certainly gone for Bell by
over 300 votes. All the counties have been
heard from. One man Iooses 500, 900 by
the State going for Bell.
All the Ministers of the Gospel here are
opposed to disunion.
4 mass meeting has been held in Bath
county, at which resolutions were adopted
opposing disunion.
Tim Rivers, the war Horse of the De-
mocrdcy of Virginia, says that the Minute
Men organization is the greatest humbug
ever invented.
Bennett Dewitt the veteran Virginia ed
itOr, and the best posted politician in the
State, is strongly opposed to disunion.
The Washington correspondent of the N.
7. Evening Post, writes:
A few members of Congress are already
here, preparing for the winter. A very stormy
session is expected, for Toombs, Keitt
ana their companions mean to do nothing
but get off bOmbastic and threatening speech
es all winter. They will impede the public
business to their utmost. The patience and
temper of the Republican members will be
sOrely tried, and it is thought that disunion-
ism win not be permitted to be uttered on the
GvOr Of Congress without a scathing rebuke.
Many of the ~ofice-holders here are reck
Oning upon a continuance in Office, and es-
pecially those who have friends in democratic
Senators. They claim that Mr.. LincOln's
cabinet officers cannot be confirmed without
the consent of their senatorial friends, and
the price of that consent will be the reten-
ton of certain democratic clerks in office. A
good deal of speculation and bargaining
always on paDer-of this kind is going on
at the Departments, and not a peep Of trea-
son can be heard in any of them. Even the
South Carolina clerks say they will remain
in Office just to oblige Mr.. Lincoln. They
are notafraid of South Carolina terrorism in
Washington.

In the special dispatch to yesterdays Gin
cinnati Gazette is the following article from
the Richmond Enquirer Of the day before
Specializing upon the probable secession of
South Carolina, it says
"Whatif South Carolina shall drive away
the custom-house officers, take possession Of
Fort Moultrie and Castle Pinckney, open the
port OF Charleston for the importation OF for
eign goods free Of duty, what then2 Aye,
what then2 Shall Mr.. Lincoln proclaim
Charleston a closed port or blockade
the coast OF South Carolina or send an
army and navy TO enforce the payment Of
duties2 This will be coercion, and philo-
sophie Greeley disapproves OF coercion. Mr..
Greeley would adopt the let-alone-policy.-
What then Goods would be imported at
Charleston, sold there at prices 20, 30, 40
and 90 per cent. cheaper thar those OF New
York.
Charleston merchants would drive a thriving
import trade; New York merchantsn no trade
at all, and the revenues of the Federal Gov
eminent would be f~earfally curtailed. What
then2 If not coercion, simply the acknowl-
edgement of South CaroliGs's independence,
the negotiation of a treaty OF commerce with
that republic, or at least the enactment by
Congress of new revenue laws, aud the envi-
ronment Of the Palmetto State with a Gordon
OF revenue posts on this side the international
boundary line"
Turning from this speculation, the Enquirer
proceeds TO point out the modeby which alone
the Union can lie saved, viz; "The repeal by
the North of all avs in the different States
impeding the enforcement OF the Fugitive
Slave law; the passage of laws to enable
Southern men to carry their slaves in safety
into the Northern States when on visits OF
pleasure or business; the repeal OF the laws
prohibiting the Slave TRACE in the District OF
Columbia, and the admission Of Southerners
with their property to equal rights in the
Territories, with the people Of the Terrific
ries."
This, in point of fact is demanding the
concession by the North of the principles
laid down by the Convention which nomi-
mated Mr.. Breckenridge.

The Detroit Free Press says that Congress
bas provided for a commission 10 appraise
the value of a tract of land sixteen miles
square lying on the Michigan side of the
Saul Ste. Marie, and including the Saul canal,
the village Of Ste. Marie, the Saul Railroad,
and various Improvements in the way OF
farming, building, &c. This tract was grant
ed 10y Louis XIV. to the Chevalier de Repent
igny, whose heirs, after long continued
efforts, have succeeded in inducing Congress
10 recognize their rights bya special act
The value of the tract is something fabulous,
ami the public works and private improve
ments have enhanced it immensely
When satisfactorily ascerained, the aggregate
value will be awarded TO the grantees in
Government lands elsewhere located. The
matter, however, is not finally settled, as
their claim is to be brought before the United
States Circuit Court at Detroit for a confr-
nation of the title deeds, and other necessary
legal formula. Monsieur Favargey Of Qua
dsloupe, W. l., is one of the grantees, and
Senator Benjamin of Louisiana is counsel in
the case.

D1" The London papers bring good ac-
counts of the success Of Buckley's Negro
Ministries in London, where minstrelsy seems
to be advancing TO an "institution."
Rep. An old Scotch Presbyterian servant was
induced by her mistress TO attend AZ Episco-
pal church, where the furniture and music
were ofthe most elaborate character, and was
asked how she liked it "Oh, " she replied,
ats vera bonny, vara bonny; but oh, my lady,
it's an awfu' way OF spending the Sabbath"
DsS" A recent advertisement Of Il mas
querade ball, at LapOrte, California, requested
gentleman and ladies 10 leave their fire arms
and cutlery at the door.
Bay- Young Lincoln IA student at Harvard
College, has, within the dast week, grown
vastly in popularity with his fellow students,
called upon him, congratulated him upon the
success Of his father and the jolly state OF
affairs in the country generally. Mr.. Lincoln
made a very neat speech in reply, which Is
said TO be worth OF the stock from when he
sprung.
RaA. Sacramento, California, must be a de-
lightful place to live in. Private letters from
there say that the city is infested with high
waymen and assassins, and that night after
night attempts are male to murder, rob and
waylay the thriving citizens Of that dusty or
rainy city. As a consequence, pistols, slung-
shots and swOrd-canes are the rage and the
fashion.

Important to Electors.

We would urge upon every Presidential
elector the duty Of reaching the capital of his
State at least one day prior to that wherein
the vote for President and Vice President is
to be cast-which we believe is the first
Wednesday in December. Delays are dan
gerous-in this case, peculiarly so. In Wis
cOnsin, four years ago, a fierce snow storm
overspread the State the day before that pre-
scribed for the meeting of the Electoral Col
leges, so that the electors did not assemble
nor ballot till the day after that appointed.
The vote Of the State for Fremont and Day
ton was consequently objected to in Congress
on the day fixed by law for opening the re-
turns and proclaiming officially the result
and it evidently would not have been receiv-
ed and counted without a stru gle had any
thing depended upon it. Let there be no
mistake and no chance for cavil this time

illinois Currency.

The Panic prevailing in regard to Illinois
money reached fever heat yesterday. 1t
was quoted at % cents discount and difficult
to get rid of at that rate. Much anxiety is
felt to know what will be the course of the
State Auditor of Illinois in reference to com
polling Banks to deposit additional stock to
secure their bills. Should he require the
Banks to replace Southern with Northern Sc
%curities, it will result in compelling some Of
them to close, the depreciation Of the former Sc
eurity being so great as to involve the banks
in heavy losses, should it be thrown into
market during the present state of excite
ment.

Necessity of a CusrOmHOu at Charleston

Necessity Of n CUSTOM House at Charleston.
On Monday night last Naval-0Gicer Lau-
rens spoke at Institute Hall, Charleston, to-
gether with Judge Magrath and others. AT
ter some remarks on the general subject, Mr..
Maurens took occasion to explain his position
as In officer of the Federal Government
Many of my fellow citizens, said he, view the
custom House as an institution for the pur-
pose OF collecting the revenue Of Govern
ment. This is true, as far as it goes; and if
it were the sole object and duty of the insti-
tuition, then the Custom House might he
closed, now and forever, without detriment
to the State; but it has other and higher re-
sponsibility than this. If the port of Charles
ton were declared a free port of entry, that
all goods might be landed on her wharves
free Of any taxation, still there would be a
necessity, an absolute necessity, for a Gus
tom or Clearing House, II is the tar of all
civilized nations that the nationality of a UeSsel
must be prOUea By the official papers and seal
Of the Government under ghose flag she sails,
or else, 6y the said LaD, she is Uie0ed as an I'M
LqigfE cruiser, herself and cargo d LalgtJ prize,
her captain and crel0 pirates. Close the doors
Of the United States Custom House before
| South Carolina establishes one of her own,
and you blockade your OWN port more thor
oughly and effectuaIly than all the combined
navies of the world could do. The cotton,
rice, and other produce now on our wharves,
IN ~stOrehouses and elsewhere, must seek an
other port; all vessels not cleared must ROT
at our wharves, or run the risk of confsca-
ton in another port.

ism in Texas, he said it had been exaggerated
and misrepresentcd by the letter of d" thai
man, Pryor, of Dallas" the brother, he said
of Roger A. Pryor, of Virginia, who had
some time since sent a certain challenge
The fact was, that there had been but one
white man hung in Texas for incendiarism-
HlrndOn, Of Henderson-and two negroes
and there never had been a vial or bottle Of
poison found in the possession of any other
negroes in the State-thus intimating very
clearly that the others who were punished
were u~njustly punished.
As to The House burnings, it had been re-
ported at one time that there were fourteen
houses burned in the city of Austin, when
IA fact there was only a shanty or shed in
he outskirts of the city burned; and he ac-
'Ounted for the burning of that by the care
essneSs of the Dutch who were ~lounging and
mOking there at the time.
He said that this Pryor letter had injured
and was greatly injuring our country; its eff
iects we're being felt everywhere; our lands
'lepreciating in value; persons from other
states were afraid to immigrate here, and a
great many were leaving our State. Only
the other day a gentleman from Northern
Texas had told him that on his way he had
met two hundred wagons, with at least FIVE
persons in each wagon, on their way TO Ar
kansas and Kansas-some leaving for fear
their negroes would be falsely accused of in
cendiarism and hung, and others for fear
they, as not being shareholders, might be
charged with being aoolitionists, and lynched.
