Fleming's Sneech.

We had intended to review some of the
perversions Of this Lecompton swindle
candidate made in the Town Hall on Fri
day evening last, but have little leisure or
room to do so. The modus operandi adopt
ed there will be sufficient to show what
means were resorted to by this pettifogger.
Thus Hon. Ephraim Banks gets up and
states that he knew Mr. Fleming we'll and
that the most implicit confidence might
be placed in whatever he might state, and
thereupon Fleming gets up and in his de-
probation Of Mr.. Hale said that Speaker
Pennington had not appointed our member
on single committee. Now did not Mr..
Banks, did not the two ministers of the
gospel present, (of whom the Democrat
has such holy horror of mingling in poll
tics), and did not others there, know that
THIS STATEMENT WAS A LIE.
James I. Hale was on the Committee on
Claims, an important one in every respect,
as the published list will show The whole
TRADE, delivered in cracked voice, was of
a piece with this. He spoke in just such
terms as paid attorney usually employs
in defending bad cause and bad client,
for while pretending great respect for Mr..
Hale, he insiduously connected him with
every low-ifed term used. At Recdsville
we learn the same thing was repeated, and
there as here, not only created strong
feeling of disgust among the friends of
Mr. Hale, but induced more than one dem
ocrat to declare they would not vote for
such a villjfer.

BRECKENRIDGE AND D1sUNIoN.

! Several weeks ago we published articles
charging that the leaders of the secession
convention were disunionists, when wri-
ter in the Democrat, Of" boldly chal-
lenged us to name disunionist. We
thought it rather singular denial, but at
once complied by naming VIM. l.. Yancy
of Alabama Last week the same writer
appears in the Democrat, and after giving
an extract from a speech by Yaney,
again denies that he is disunionist, and
calls for proof. Here then is letter
which this man Yancy wrote a few
months ago:
MONTGOMERY, June Is.
DEAR SIR Your kind favor of the 18th is
received. / hardly agree with you that q
general movement can be made that will clear
out the Augean stable. If the Democracy is
overthrown, it would result in giving place to
a greater and hungrier swarm Of flies. The
remedy of the South is not in such process;
it is in diligent organization of her true
men for PROMPT RESISTANCE to the
next aggression. 1t must come in the nature
of things. No national power can save US !;
no sectional power can ever do it; but if we
do as our fathers did, organize committees of
safety all over the cotton States, and it is on
" IN them that we can hope for an effective
movement-lUe shall fire the Southern heart,
instruct the Southern mind, gice courage to
each other, and at the proper moment, BY one
organized, concerted action, 1oe can precipit0te
THE COTTON STATES INTO 4 REF-
OLUIYOP The idea has been shadowed
forth in the South by Mr.. Ruifin. and has
been taken up and recommended in the Ad-
vertiser 1.-THE Montgomery organ Of Mr.. Yam
cyl under the name of 3. The League of Uni
ted Southerners," who keeping up their old
party relations, will hold the Southern issues
paramount, and will influence parties, Legis-
latures and Statesmen | have no time to
enlarge but to suggest merely.
Signed W. L. YANcY.
To James S. Slaughter.
The authorship of this letter has been
admitted by Yaney, and the only apology
he makes is that it was pri0ote one. As
Treason is never hatched in public, we
leave it to readers of all parties whether
more infamous proposition was ever sug-
gested in this country since the days of
Benedict Arnold. Aaron Burr was tried
for treason for attempting to carry out such
scheme as Yancy proposes, and John
Brown was hung for a similar offence in
Virginia yet a patent democrat writes
communication defending this traitor, and
patent democratic paper publishes it in
a community where nine out of ten gener-
al readers have read Yancy's Slaughter
letter, and know besides that he was the
leading spirit in the secession movement
both at Charleston and Baltimore.
