WHAT THEY WANT.

For years the southern pro.saVery extrem
lists have denounced Great Britain as an "abo
ltion power" biia favored close alliance with
Russia as the European power most opposed
to free lptincples. They have now attempted
to persuade Mr., Russell, correspondent of the
Eondon Times, that they have IAN intense
affection for the British connection, aud love
of British habits and customs, respect TOR
British sentiment, law, authority, order, CIVIL
! ization." They tell him, 1--WE would go BACK
/ 10 morrow il we could, and ne says speaking
of his observations in South Carolina =
"From all quarters has come to my ears the
| echoes of the same voice it may be feignel,
but there is no dlscord in the notes aud 1t
sounds i'm wonderful strength and monot0ny
all over the country. Shades OF George Ill,
of North. of johnson, OF all who conended
against the great rebellion which tore these
colonies from England, can you hear the cho-
rus which rings through the state Of Marion,
Sumter and Plnckney, and not clap your
ghosty hands in triumph? That voice says,
IF we G ud only get one of the loyal race OF
England to rule over us, we should he con,
tent" Let there be no misconception on this
point. That sentiment varied in hundred
ways, has been repeated TO me Oven and over
again. There is a general admission that the
means TO such an end are wanting, and that
the desire cannot be gratitied. But the admit
ration for monarchical institutions on the
English model, for privileged classes, and for
a landed aristocracy and gentry, is undisJuised
and apparently genuine
MIR. Russell is shrewd enough to see that
there is something 'feigned" in these repre-
sensations, something like an attempt to "soft
soap" England through the correspondent OF
! the Times but the desire Of the South Caro-
| lima save.owners to be regarded as "aristo-
cratic gentlemen" he could not mistake. They
tell him that the state of South Carolina was
founded by gentlemen" and show him that
they desire a government under which they
can be lazy and useless, but withal rich, AFRO
giant, and domineering, They can not find it;
and, if they could, no such government would
be allowed to exist on this continent. 1t
would be our duty TO suppress such govern.
ment at once, at any cost, for there is neither
room nor right for it anywhere within the lin
its of this republic. If we do not at once de-
stroy the attempt to create it, we shall be de-
stroyed by it. There is madness and selt-de
struction even in dreaming of compromise
with such a power.

quiet application Of hemp to few cases Of
clearly established treachery would have a
salutary effect" We think so too. There
has been too much forbearance, too much
tenderness, and too little recollection Of what
IS due 10 the government itself in dealing
with such creatures. 1t should be felt by all
concerned that the government has both pow

and have a wholesome effect on the whole fra

FRUIT PRosPEcTs.-Th progress of the
season indicates an unusual scarcity of fruit
next autumn. A fair yield of apples may be
expected, but pears, peaches, cherries, and
plums, are nowhere. In Chautauque county,
the sudden changes Of last winter affected the
trees severely, killing the larger proportion of
the buds, So that few leaves have put forth,
and the trees present sorry appearance. But
the greatest injury appears to have been in
flicted upon grapes. Isabella and Catawba
vines have been killed nearly to the ground.
They are sprouting from the old wood, but the
hope of fruit is annihilated.- Rochester Union.
