HuIo OF kNAns
Our Democratic friends are sorrowfu
about the prospects OF dissolution Of thu
Union on acsount OF the election OF Lincoln
To cover the spite over their signal defeat
they try to ipgratinto themselves in the con.
fdenee Of the peoplehy pointing to the pres
emit disturbances in the South, and the money
pressure ia the North, and rememb ering their
prophecies, during the canvass, Of coming
ruin. In that way they hope to regain the
popular confidence, and thereby open the
way for political power. The people, how
ever, know very we'll that the reckless mis-
representations OF the Republican party and
its candidates by Northern Dem ocrats is the
principal cause of the misconceptions at the
South. The real cause Of their clamor ia,
that Linco'n'e Administration will put tho
lie TO all their accusations, and that the peo-
pie in the South, as well as in the North,
hope of several hungry politicians, and some
ambitious aristocrats, will be gone forever.
Their idol and example, 8. A. Douglas, in
his speech at New Orleans, after the election,
has had the impudence to represent Lincoln
before that audience as an Abolitonis.,
while he knows personally the contrary,
thereby exciting Southern prejudice against
the man who must and will be in short
time the Constitutional President Of the
South ~ we'll AZ OF the North. We have
often said that the maxim Of the Democratic
party Was borrowed from his Satanic Majesty,
to-wit: RULE or RUIN. BY christening ruin,
that party has several times imposed its rule
upon our country, and has thereby brought
about its present deranged condition. A
Of that rule would, in few
years, have demoratizod the nation and re-.
duced the whole country to dependence upon
Southern slave aristocraoy. The people in
the North have seen that certain ruin must
follow under Democrats rule, and have,
therefore, resolved to try the Republican
party, under the lead Of a man, against
whose honesty and uprghtness no demagogue
has dared to raise bis voice. Under that ruie
there is hope Of escaping ruin and regaining
harmony and prosperity. 1t oan cos. us some
temporary sacrifice, but we are conf lent that,
however much the people in the North are
attached to money, the proof will be given
that the worship VI Mamnon is not yet so
universal, ~ to sacrifice for the temporary
gain OF a few dollars the invaluable rights
Of American freemen. II the Northern Dem
ocrats wish peace, let them cease 70 Islander
the Republican party; let them disabusc the
South by honest Acknowledgements Of the
truth. II they proceed in their dishonest
Islander, the brand of infamy will mark them
forever and their poitica fate is sealed as
long as our Union lasts. III. p. S.

day, told the people be was oil right, for the
purpose OF allaying their excitement. They
knew better, and would not believe the com.
mittee, insisting that the new ornamental
lamp posts erected on Canal street ought to
be put to use.
MIR. Harris was slightly frightened. In
fact, he was so badly scared thai he-well,
never mind, he appealed to some plying
business friends, and they aided him in his
distress. Mr.. q. N. Morrison, the well
known druggist, loaned him 500, and hur.

Now what 10 the crime, according to their
own story, for which the men OF New Or

polied him to forsaks his business and fee
for his life? Simply that he publicly avowed

North has elected President in accordance
