ing fdtnef- TOT lne D>7ocT0f- being an even
ing paper, does Mt get up in the morning
until aboIt four o'clock in the afternoon
with an article on the Border States" Il
tina; article our Douglas contemporary Comes
out against a Conference IF i. II the Ssntherr
States because be fears The precipiiating ele
ment among the men who would cOnsiitni,
that conference would upset the fat into the
fire and play the dickins and Tom W4lkei
with, the whole Thing. Ii is qnite likely il
would The diSlnieniSts and The. secession
lists are not the men to srttle the little Fl
Guilty which exists between the two sections
They don't want to settle The matter so a. 10
preserve the Union. They are disanionisI-
and secessinnisrs for the sake OF disunioH
and secession, and 10 turn them into The
Union in the shape of a conference TO keep
the States together, would be worse than
putting mad bull into Hicks Crina Hall
TO take care OF the crOcke'y. or making "a
troop Of hng- the gu Irdians Of a POtato-p,f,
No, the "repTeSeniaiiv,. men, of the Cotton
States are not the Sp 'Iiiug'> Prepared Glue
that must keep the UaiOa toge' hrr; they @
not the Wiz rrd Oil that must heal the f.
fereHces between the sections; they ara not
in short, the physicians that must success
fully minister to the break bone fever with
which Uncle Sam is confined to his room.
When your family have caught the m asles,
it is by TO means prudent 10 call in a doctor
who has got the small pnx, and much more
of diploma than of any ether professional
prerequisite besides. But the Democrat has
faith enough in the Border States, to remove
mountains, with the help of q large number
of railroad Irishmen. Il is willing, it says,
to trust them (the Border States, not the
railroad Irishmenl Ito settle the whole trou-
bie-" We agree with our contemporary that
the Border States are much more worthy o
the trust and confidence of the friends of tie
Union than their boi-headrd and impetuou-
sisters-in-law in whose midst his pale-broWed
majesty, King Cotton sits enthroned.
The BannT.-"Remarks of Gen. JOSEPH
LANE, Of Oregon. in reply to Gov. JOHNSON,
of Tennessee" This is the principal dish Set
before Us by the BmnsT. With ihrse Re-
marks of the late disunion candidate for the
nor the inclin itiOn to deal. They are prob
ably pretty good speech of its kind hut
we come to bury CESAR, and we shall not
turn aside from the funeral TO brstOw either
praise or blame upon the voice from Oregon.
The old son of gun, though. wants to know
if it is strange" that ..the gallant State of
South Carolina" 'just, honest, upright and
true to the COnstitut on, should refuse to re-
main in the Union as an inferior member of
it" OLD 10 is a humbug. He does mt
know what be is talking about. SOUTH Caro-
lima is not just, she is not honest, she is not
upright, and she lacks about as much of being
true to the Constitut- IN as she lacks of being
true to the Union. CT as Paudemonium lacks
of being reliable ice-hOuse. II she is, OF
was, an inferior member of the Union, that
inferioriry was the work of her own hands
If you BEHAVE yourself as a y hite man should
and preserve your integrity and honor, the
misconduct of your brothers will never de
grade you in the eyes of the world, nor rem
der you Inferior to your fellow-msn- The
same thing may be said of the States. The
personal liberty bills of Massachusetts, and
Vermont may degrade those States and
stamp them as inferior, but no other State is
sufficiently degraded by tn. m To- justify b, T
In seeking to hide her degradation in the
inky infdmy of disunion- Where is the sense
then in OLD JOS a king the President OF he
Senate if South Carolina lis % submit % in
ferioriiy and degradaiion - You will f d

young mule. The fact of the business i,
'.ihe gallant and glorious State OF Smith
Carolina" has made a tOw-hsaded ass Of her
self and 10 LANE is her prophet.
The Gs--nt-Uud-r the head Of Useless
the Gazetie says: "A Certain
class of public Speakers and writers for the
press are busily engaged in discussing the
right of States TO secude from the Union. But
we cannot conceive that the people of the
South can at this time shape their course TO
crafty the whims of those who deny the |
right" The chief OF these ..whims' is a |
patriotic iesire to preserve the Union against |
the unhallOwed designs of selfish and Co.. |
forssken demagog1es. 1t is not expec ed |
hat the latter will shape their course 10 /
crafty that "ghim." Thy have brought |
they will not be content with their work un- |
IN they have hurled it over the brink. We |
IRE sorry to see our respected contemporary |
