of the political condition OF the country.
and the Soash particularly was in great per
! H. The national Democratic party was the
only power which could possibly prevent
the country from passing into the hands of
the Black Republicans. Ambitious and
designing men had seized upon a mere bug

oi the South to disunion had denational-
lze'i the Democratic party detached it North
from South in captious quarrel, not with
our enemies but with our allies, and hav-

OF the country-who had no personal am
bltlon to crafty, no end to subserve save
that OF desire to continue to live under a
government and in a country, which an un-
interrupted period of more than half a CEN

motion. had made the most prosperous and
powerful nation of the world, and who
held the lives and fortunes of their families

that courage and nerve which characterizes
the retiring citizen. and with that intelIi-

advised the calling of a convention by those
who were IN favor of upholding the nation

OF true ami tried and discreet men as dele
gates to the Baltimore convention, to be
held on the 18th of June next To go un-

Blue CocISades.

We find the following in the local
column of the Nashville Banner, of the
23rd:
B,con ANIL "Bh,c C5ckud,s." THE appear
ance of here and there an individual
with q blue cockade upon his nat has at
tracted some attention and comment in
town during the last few days, and ycstcr-
day resulted in the perperation of II
scandalouS joke at the expense of the
wearers. Walking down one of our prin-
cipal thoroughiares we noticed that q
full tushed and stalwart porker, who
perused the gutter in pursuit Of pabulum,
was the subject of curious observations,
and that several of the observers were in
dul.ing in pretty severe smiles. Local
items being scarce, and business generally
dull, We approached the group AS uncon-
cernedly as possible, but prepared for the
worst. As the rear of lord bacon hove
in sight, we detected the joke at once,
and INDUCED our risibilities. Thereby
hangs tale-that is to say, porker had a
tail, and entailed upon that tail was n
blue cockade, constructed after the most
improved style, and as the stately porcine
delved in the gutter, unconscious that he
was the representative Of 4 sentiment,
his continuation waved majestically, and
the blue cockade fluttered tiercely in the
breeze.
Blue cockades will multiply frequently
hereabouts in the future.
The Athens post. [volume] (Athens, Tenn.) 1848-1917, 1860-12-07

The Alexandria Ga-eHe, speaking oc
the policy Of South Carolina politicians
holds the following: ......
"Hon. r. w. Barnwell of S. c., in a
published letter avows his wishes to
form Southern Conicderacy, takes oc-
casion to say, that any policy based upon
the expectation that South Carolina, by
her separate action, could force other
States to join in the effort to establish
this Confedcracy, would be in the high
est degree mischievous.' We take occa-
sion to add, that for one State, Virginia
will resist this forcing process. She will
not be 'htched on or dragged in If
it comes to that, and there is no other al
tentative, she will take her destinies in
her own hands, under Providence, and
establish a separate and independent
government OF her own. IF it be degra-
dation to remain in the Union, it will be
double degradation, to be made the
tool, and victim, of one Of the Cotton
States, which has shown no regard for
her interest, and does not care fig for
her counsels, at this time, when it does
not suit Disunion purposes" -
The Athens post. [volume] (Athens, Tenn.) 1848-1917, 1860-12-07
The Question in a Nutshell.

There is very true and sensible arti-
Gle in the New York Journal Of Commerce,
which sin nutshell contains the griev.
ances of the South against the North
and West, and what must be our reme-
dy. The ultimqt,oa is already decided up.
on and enlightened men at the North
know and appreciate 1.-THE immediate
repeal Of their nullifying laws, with our
right in the Territories, or a severance Of
The Union. The most conservative man
cannot expect anything less, although
there may he difference as to the time
and manner of accomplishing it, unless
our rights are fully conceded and guar
anteed. -Ia
The Journal Of Commerce says: 1C
"Thero is one thing certain; the North
has got to act justly towards the South,
return the fugitive slaves, abolish the
personal liberty bills,sdslsnr rvay.sl.----.h a
right of the South equal to the North IN :
the Territories, or find the South in one
solid compact whole, n separate and inde-
pendent government. The justice of
the positions will be maintained by neai-
ly majority of the people of the North,
and will be demanded by the whole Cf
the Southern people, and they are right.
The North, the South, the East, the
West are to some extent necessary to each
other; the South the most essential to
the other two; for the West finds its
most important consumers in the New
England manufacturing States. Those
manufacturers must stop, If the South
will not send them their cotton; and if
those manufacturers stop, the West has
lost its best market for its produce; but
the South has European market for all
it can produce. Not so with either of
the other sections. The separation of
these States places the North and West
