TROUBLE an TBR FAMILY.

We learn VIII r6gret tnat DIT. DOuBlds prOpOseu
Sedi'ion Law, whereby he designed TO put down all
incendiay Abolition culminauons, is being put 10
force at the South in advance Of it's enactment
Who shall Say henceforth that our Southern
brethren are not progressive, wide-awake people,
and fully up with the times The only mistake
seems to consist in putting this act in force against
Mr Doug lass supporters, which is not, we pre-
sumo, the entertainment to which Judge ID. meant
to invite or be Invited. The supporters of Brock
inridge are 30 overwhelmingly preponderant in the
South, especially in the Cotton region, they VIII
not allow the advocates Of Douglas or Lincoln
quiet hearing. Even the Hon. Herschel V. john
con. Douglas candidate for Vice President, ia not
allowed to address meetings in the State which he
formerly represented in the Senate ard ruled as
Governor. He tried it on at Macon ten days since,
and was booted and GROSSLY iusulted. Whereupou,

Speech and even thing else Free-free niggers and
free soil excepted-Mr. James Pinckney HANDLE

We beg to extend to the Hon. james Pnck-
ney Hambleton assurances of our distinguished
consideration. He is right as book, and we
back every word OF the foregoing. When we find
time to drop down to Atlanta and make speech
for Lincoln and Liberty, we are sure he will stand
at cur side with cooked revolver in each hand
and drawn sword in his teeth ready to pepper
