Hon. D. s. Dickinson says:

The South cares little about the mere election of MT. Lincon-they view it AS the development of public sentiment, as last and final evidence of the sentiment of the free States.

What we must con vince them of is, that we will not only re- peal our obnoxious laws upon paper, but we will repeal the prevailing public senti- ment that is more perncious than the ob- noxious laws of New England and all the free States together.

Our country! It's II glorious land
With broad arm stretched from shore to shor
The proud Pacific chafes her strand,
She hears the dark Atantic's ronr;
And nurtured on her ample breast,
How many goodly prospect lies,
In Natures widest grandeur drcst,
Enamclod with her loveliest dyes.
Rich prairies, dcckcd with flowers of gold,
Like sun-lit oceans roll afar;
Broad lakes her azure heavens behold,
Rejecting clear each trembling star.
And mighty rivers, mountain born,
Go sweeping onward. dark and deep,
Through forests where the bounding f;,wn
Beneath their shcltcring branches leap.
And cradlcd in her clustering hills,
Sweet forms in dfcanl-lke beauty hide,
Where love the air with music fills,
And calm content and peace abide;
For plenty here her fulncss pours,
In rich profuson o cr the land,
And, sent to seize her generous stores,
There prowls no tyrant's hrcling band.
Great God we thank Thee for this home
This b0unteOus birth-land Of the free!
Where wanderers from afar may come
And breathe the air of Liberty
Still may her flowers untrammelcd spring,
Her harvcsts wave, her cities rise,
And yet. till Time shall fold his wing,
Remain Earth's lOvcliest Paradise

AN HISTORICAL FAcr.-Thc first de-
bate that ever occurred in the United
States House of Representatives on the
subject Of slavery in the territories,
was in the month Of March, 1889. In
that important debate. the Constitu-
tional power of Congress to make the
prohibition, was not questioned by any
speaker, although Georgia, South Car
olina, North Carolina and Virginia took
a rart in the debate.

\ "REMINISCENCES OF NULLIFICATIO

\ "REMINISCENCES OF MULTIPLICATION.
1T seems that Gov. Letcher, of Vir-
ginia, who sympathized with the nulli-
tiers in 1882, called upon Gen. Jackson
to learn, if possible, what the General
intended to do toward crushing Cal
houn's conspiracy against the Union.
The Governor opened the subject mild
ly, and Jackson only answered by tell
ing Letcher to read certain .instru-
ment of writing Oh the table before
them. Letcher read it, and found it to
be warrant for the execution of John
c. Calhoun. "But, my dear General,
you don't intend to carry out what this
paper calls for?" "GovcrnOr Letcher,
is my name signed to that papcr?"
Yes, General, it is" "Very well,
Governor; it is very seldom that I sign
papers merely for effect. Governor,
look on the left corner of the paper;
is the seal of the United States to it?"
" 1t is, General" Gov. Lctchcr visited
Mr. Calhoun after he left Gen. Jack
son, and awakening him out of his
sleep, related to him his interview with
jackson. Gov. Letcler alleged that
Mr.. Calhoun assumed the appearance
of a ghost, when he heard what Gen.
Jackson intended to do, and Nullifica-
ton lost all its venom from thst hour.
Gen. jackson said on his death bed
that he had only one thing to regret, and
that was that he had not hung John G.

A LOVELY PRopos1rIoN.-The South

tabled a bW to prohibit the circulation
among non-slorehol.ters Of books and pa-
pcrs rndiMg to Alternate them from the
shareholders. The man who proposed
it said that this alienation did already
exist in the northern part of the State,
and it was necessary to suppress it. 1t
was opposed as recognizing danger

the non-slaveholders were not to he
allowed freedom on the subject they
ought also to be excluded from the bal.
lot-box. The idea that the act would
be offensive to the non-slaveholders at
this time, when their services are needed
to defend the State, proved conclusive
against the bill, and it was laid aside
tor the present. This is the kind of
liberty the people of the cotton States

force for the descent Of the Mississippi and they
are fast collecting it.
It ia wise therefore, on the part of the people of
the Mississippi Valley to be on their guard. fhe
present grand uprising is timely and prudent. We
should prepare for an invasion as formidable as
that which menaGed and still menaces Richmond
and our preparations for defence should be on a
scale Of corresponding magnitude. The entire
energies and resources of this great region should
be put forth, as they now being. It is vain to
dream Of security without the most stuPendous pre-
parations for defence. The army Of this valley
should be swelled to hundreds Of thousands. Lin
coin, we are told, will recommend the increase Of
the Federal army to million of men, as offering
the only chance of subjugating the South. Wemay
rest assured that the swarmng myriads of the
North will be summoned to the strife, and induced
to enlist by the delusve hope Of bringing the war
to speedy and victorious close for them. The
notion Of Xerxes to conquer by force Of over
whelming numbers ia now the fayorte idea of the
Lincoln Administration. They must be met, on
the part of the South, with Grecian unanimity and
yalor. F.@ ~" ~-t- -
They must find Thermopyla and Spartan
band in every pass; and Marathon as Salamis in
every scene of action. 1t is well for US to be fully
alive to the magnitude of the dangers which
threaten us, not that panic may seize the public
mind, but that we may calmly and firmly prepare
to meet them. Every man in this valley should
prepare to breast the tide Of invasion. 1t is thus
that we will make the assurance Of victory doubly
sure. -- -=-t -...Hg
